Breaking Bad Season 5 Thread

I'm more interested to see to what extent Hank really puts two and two together.

Does he figure out about the bug that was (or is? Is it still there?) in his office? Does he realize Walt killed Gus? Does he realize Walt killed the prison gang? Does he connect that it was likely Walt that led to the phone call where he thought his wife was hurt? Does he connect Walt and Jesse's relationship?

God. There are SOOO many questions and this has the potential to be so good. It's either going to be an epic confrontation or a shitshow.

And one other thing I was thinking. Jesse is going to find about about Mike, right? I've got to figure Hank starts tailing Walt, gets his eyes on the animal pest control scheme, latches on to Todd, breaks Todd and uses the info from Todd to flip Jesse.

That's got to be the only way, right?

One other final thought. If Walt knows he's dying (presumably of cancer) does he tell Jesse about killing his girlfriend? I can picture him doing so to clear his conscience and it wouldn't surprise me if that leads to Jesse killing Walt in the final scene of the series.

Man, this is going to be good ...

 

Hank goes after Todd, Todd's convict pals plan to kill Hank, Walt buys the sweet rifle and comes back to kill them all, save Hank and Hank says Todd and his cronies were the drug lords *winkwink*

 

I like that.

 

Walt also 'accidentally' shoots Marie and Skylar, who were filming pornos with Todd and his crew and happened to be with Todd during the final shootout, and Walt and Hank take the money to retire in the Caribbean.

A stretch, and highly unlikely, but in this series it seems anything is possible.

 

I can't fathom a guess as to how the Walt-Hank confrontation will play out, but it won't take Hank long to put all the pieces together know that he thinks Walt might be Heisenberg (if he's not convinced by the time he wipes). Someone already mentioned a bunch here, but he'll also realize that Walt's gambling addiction story was all BS, and the Whites' marriage problem/needing the kids to be at Hank and Marie's place for 3+ months will make much more sense than it ever did. And while the bugs are gone from Hank's office now, Hank is going to wonder what exactly Walt was doing by coming to the office and spilling his guts twice.

 

Right. Meant Hank takes back the kids. I swear, I thought Jr. was going to drive the baby into the pool in the final scene and that would be the cliffhanger somehow.

 

I thought the same thing.

 

It's going to look kind of bad for Hank when Heisenberg went undiscovered for all that time and Hank has been taking craptons of money from him and is also related to him.

 

I believe that the ricin is going Hank's way.

Once Walt figures out that Hank knows, it is all over.

 

Exactly. And let us not forget that the guy who Hank replaced lost his job because Fring was so close to him and right under his nose without suspecting a thing. Hank could lose everything if he goes after Walt.

 

I don't know though. If Hank investigates it the right way, he can say he was focused on Fring and, once Fring was gone, spent his time investigating the real Heisenburg. Once he found out it was Walt, he did everything he could to bring him in with a conviction.

A lot depends on how he handles himself from this point on.

 

Of all the major adult characters, only Hank has yet to be depicted as "Breaking Bad".
Perhaps it's his turn.
