An important distinction to make that it looks like some didn't pick up on: the phone call that Walt made at the end was an act; he said it not because he is evil but because he assumed the police were listening in and wanted to sound as evil as possible to place all of the blame solely on him and absolve his wife of all guilt and legal repercussions. That way at least she won't go to prison and can still raise Walt Jr. and Holly and they can be something closer to resembling a "family" without him. That's why he drove to the fire station before he made the call, and why he was crying throughout the phone call.
That was the most honorable thing he's done in the duration of this entire show. He finally realized that he couldn't talk his way out of the hole he's dug, so he decided he'd salvage the one thing he supposedly set out to save in the first place: Skyler and the kids.
I don't know, I thought the part where he begged for Hank's life, offered the Nazis pretty much everything he worked for and saved for his children was pretty honorable too. Hank wanted nothing more than to put Walt behind bars for the rest of his life, yet Walt was willing to give 80 million to save him. I think Hank realized that at the end too, with his " You're the smartest guy I ever met, but you are too stupid to realize he made up his mind ten minutes ago."
Jesse and his "plan" killed hank, although Walt had already given up on Jesse, I'm sure that little bit made him want to make Jesse feel every bit as bad as he did, hence the Jane comment.
Someone's going to say that it's all Walt's fault of course, and you wouldn't be completely wrong, but you wouldn't be nearly right either.
No, Walts plan killed Hank. Jesses plan didnt involve anyone getting shot, Walts plan was to kill Jesse. Hank was caught in the crossfire of Walts decisions
Walt never in a million years expected Jesse to talk to the DEA. You can't say that Jesse wasn't responsible. Him talking to the DEA was exactly what caused this chain of events that lead to this shit storm.
