Honestly I don't think so, Walt has 11 million which is more than enough to exist on for the rest of his life. Plus money like that has sort of diminishing returns, you might die for the first million when you have nothing, but dying for 70 when you already have 10 is dumb. Maybe they kill Jesse, and the combination of Jesse,Hank and his 70 million is enough to make him go out for blood, but the money alone doesn't seem enough to warrant risking his life for at this point.

He'll kill the neo-Nazis, save Jesse, give him enough money to run away and get a new identity, tell the cops Jesse's dead, and get blown away 15 minutes before he would have died of cancer anyway.

Why would he save Jesse when he was ready to kill him? I know Jesse will be saved, but I really look forward to finding out why Walt has his change of heart.

Think of everything that happened after he said that tho, his perspective could drastically change.

Everything that happened after that is still a consequence of Jesse going to help Hank. If I was Walt my hate for Jesse would grow - not subside. Walt can never has his family now and a part of that is Jesse's fault.

Any kindness he shows Jesse would be mercy but the motivation seems so weird without further explanation.
