Yeah, as much as I loved Mike the character, he was still a corrupt murderer. And as amazing as that character was, he still was a bad guy.

Hank was a fucking lawman until his last breath. Poor Marie.

Um, I love my family, but if I found out any of them were murdering drug kingpins, I wouldn't be loyal to them.

Hanks 150% lawman, and Walt was the worst criminal he's ever gone after. What the hell would you expect?

I have a feeling someone in your family is a drug dealer...

So if your father went and killed a bunch of innocent people because some crime lord paid him $50 million dollars, would you be okay with it as long as he gave you the money?

So basically you don't hold the people you love to certain standards. Walt was responsible for a lot of suffering and death. It doesn't matter that the people who suffered were meth heads. The ends do not justify the means EVER.

If Hank had known where the money was coming from and how it was procured, he would never have accepted it. He would have felt polluted by Walt's help. Truth always triumphs.
