    I guess it depends if you mean he knows it and can prove it (in court) or just "knows" it in his gut. Right now he can't prove it, and the confrontation in the garage was just him acting on a (strong) hunch.

    I think Hank and Marie don't/can't see Skylar's full involvement in this and think she's just a victim of Walt's diabolical schemes. So when she balks at helping them and fleeing Walt with the kids, they're dumb-struck because they don't think she's as involved as she is.


    “For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”

    Indeed, he can`t prove it, but he knows it. Speaking on the garage confrontation, remember how he also failed to explain himself yet no one complained about it?

    If Hank knows about Walt (and he does), Skylar being in it as well would be a serious possibility he should have contemplated, one I`m sure he didn`t ignore. I`m certain he KNOWS about Skylar, he`s just hoping to get her out of the whole mess because she`s direct family to Marie and he needs her to get concrete evidence.

    Maybe, but Hank is pretty shaken up, so he might not think Skylar is fully involved or is deluding himself into thinking that. The family angle definitely plays a big part, as he stated that Marie is the most important person in the world to him (or something like that) so he wouldn't want to bring down Skylar. He even gave justifications for why she would have acted under duress, which might free her from legal responsibility for her actions.

    Latest episode: WOW. Can't believe the balls on Walt with that confession video. He's got Hank by the balls now.

    I find the video hard to believe, outside the medical operation and PT, what has Hank done with the money exactly...? How will Walt explain that?

    Swiss bank account? Hank has moved up pretty far in the DEA chain of command, and he's wily and intelligent. People would believe he is capable of this kind of manipulation. He has that nice house in a nice neighborhood. The biggest evidence is probably the $177k spent for his rehab.

    Well yeah, but I don`t mean where the money is but what has he done with the money. I`m certain his and his wife`s salary allows him to live in that house (as is the case). I find it hard to believe that Walter can somehow explain that Hank has an empire worth hundreds of millions of dollars and all he`s done with it is use 177,000$ for therapy he got from getting wounded from having such an empire in the first place.

    I think the authorities would reason that Hank knows the system well enough to not live outside his means to avoid attracting attention. He could have all the money stored in a Swiss bank account, biding his time before he moves to a non-extradition country to live off his ill-gotten fortune. $177000 isn't chump change, it's a huge red flag.

    It is when you supposedly have hundreds of millions (if not billions). How does the Swiss bank account works exactly? Wouldn`t he have to go through the IRS first? If he can do what you say then you`re probably right then.

    No, the Swiss don't usually cooperate with foreign authorities like the IRS, which is why the rich and criminal deposit their money in a Swiss bank account. The Swiss bankers protect the privacy of your bank information such as totals, transaction dates, etc. and they don't care where the money comes from.

    Because i really like Walt and he's always fucking with his perfect plans :3

    Jesse is always the variable, i can see a finale where Walter is forced to kill him and that's what sends him over the edge.

    That's funny because it's Walt that we should all hate. Whatever his reasons for all he's done, in the end there's no real justification for any of it.

    Like I said before, without Jesse there to mess up Walt's perfect plans, this show wouldn't be half as entertaining. The fact that Walt can navigate the problems Jesse creates and still come away mostly scott free is why he's such a badass.

    No doubt. I'm glad we have Jesse as a character because he's entertaining, but that doesn't mean he isn't a little bitch. I still think Jesse is guiltier than Walt for almost everything up until the little kid got shot in the desert. Last I watched seasons 1-5A was almost a year ago, but it seemed like Walt got into the most trouble trying to bail Jesse's ass. Even poisoning Brock wasn't lethal, and Walt had to resort to it because Jesse wouldn't help him in the first place even after saving his life.

    Well this was an interesting place to end an episode. I can't see Hank and his friend not dying, though.

    It looks like Jesse bounces. I guess the poison is for him?

    The Jesse vs. Walt scene was pretty intense!

    I'm not sure if I like this episode or where this series is heading in its final 3 episodes, particularly with the epilogue scenes with Walt visiting his trashed and vacant house to get the poison.

    Also, what does the title to this latest episode have to do with what happened in the show? What does "to'hajiilee" refer to?

    edit: found it: The episode's climax takes place at To'hajiilee, the Native American reservation where Walt buried his money and where he first cooked crystal meth.

    Holy shit this was the best episode of the series so far. I felt nothing for Jessie until they showed the picture of his ex and her son. Skylar was a cunt and got what she deserved. The Neo-Nazis are probably going to raid Walter's house for the confession tape I guess, I'm glad he's still looking to kick neo-nazi ass.

    I really wish we learned more about grey-matter though.

    That was an amazing episode. You can still see Walt's humanity as far as his family is concerned. He even condemned Jesse to death for endangering Walt's family.

    I don't think the neo-Nazis are looking to attack Walt. At first I thought so too, but after watching it again all the stuff in the preview seems to be the DEA/feds looking at the White family for their roles in the disappearance of 2 federal agents. I think Walt is looking for revenge against the neo-Nazis for killing Hank and taking $70 million of his money.

    I don't get your reference to grey-matter. What's that about?

    All the flashbacks to the company he founded with his ex and his friend. The show never went into great detail about that.
