Breaking Bad Season 5 Thread

Remember when they used the giant magnet on the evidence room and the busted photo had a piece of paper with numbers of bank accounts in the Caymans?

Did that ever show up again this season or anything about those numbers?

Yes. When Hank told Mike that the Feds had seized the offshore millions of Mike and his employees.

Right. That's why Mike had to take up with Walter and Jesse full-time. His granddaughter's nestegg had been seized by the Feds.

Gotcha. I'd forgotten that.

In a sense, that was also one of the biggest reasons the Mike/Walt dynamic never worked out too. Yes, it got Mike back in the game but it also meant he had to pay off the "loose ends" which was something Walt was not OK with.

There are so many directions this could go for Hank to put it all on Walt. The gears are turning now, no doubt. Now, he's gotta put it all together.

What do you guys think his next move is? Surveillance of Walt?

If I'm Hank I cut myself in, get about $20 mill of that stash in the garage and head to Bimini.

I don't think it's such a slam dunk he goes after Walt. There are a lot of moving parts there. It's going to occur to him that Walt has been buying and paying for things that he couldn't afford before. And he might wonder how his hospital bills were magically paid for.

Sepinwall's interview with Gilligan. Pretty good stuff in here.

Great. Thanks. The two interviews I've read this week with Gilligan were from the same conference call, so they were about the same Q&As. This is one-on-one. More insight.

True, but in the end Hank is a loyal agent and has a hard-on for upholding the law. I don't think the show can afford not to have Hank go after Walt. Sure, Walt may take a shot with a massive payoff, but I don't see Hank ever accepting such a deal, even though he is in the same situation as his former boss.
I think Hank comes out the bathroom and he and Marie leave. Walt goes in and sees the book and realizes Hank knows, leaving a cat-and-mouse game in the first couple episodes. Or Hank refuses to give up the kids and spooks Walt.

The kids are already back home.
