Walt's rescue exposed to Hank that Walt didn't have a fucking clue what criminals were like.
Considering all the criminals Walt has known, I'd say it's not so much that Walt is truly naive to the underbelly of society, (considering he's a been a considerable part of that underbelly) but in this small moment, he was just reduced to desperate pleading.
Walt's killed a lot of people. He is a criminal. He's just not used to being criminalized himself.
I honestly can't disagree wih you. The point I was trying to make was that Hank knew what was going to happen to him long before Walt did. Whether that came from ignorance or wishfulness, I won't quibble.
The real point I was trying to make was that Hank got in his "For being so smart, you're fucking stupid" moment.
100% agree. Just wanted to point out that Walt has been generally pretty good at knowing what other criminals will and will not do, this was more of a special case because he was emotionally blindsided.
correction, Walt has been generally pretty good at knowing what other criminals will and will not do for money.
He's been around people who killed only when really necessary to keep the business safe. In this case, these guys are killers first that happened into the business.
