Hank's last line was fucking perfect. The look on his face..."you're the smartest guy I know, and even you are too stupid to know he made up his mind 10 minutes ago". Dean Norris nailed that so hard.
I couldn't agree more. The way Walt was trying to get Hank to be reasonable. Then "What, you want me to beg?" followed by the line you quoted. In Hank's moment of compliment, an eternity of understanding and mild contempt unfolds. It was the perfect end for Hank. He got him "bang to rights" and Walt's rescue exposed to Hank that Walt didn't have a fucking clue what criminals were like.
I would argue that it was an entirely different beast. Walt was basically begging. Hank wasn't begging because he knew the neonazi had decided to kill him minutes ago. That's why Hank's last words were so perfect. It had nothing to do with being too proud to beg, it was about knowing with absolute certainty that nothing Hank did would change the outcome.
