It was implied that Jessie being shot would be best case scenario, two birds one stone. Hank isn't even supposed to be around Jessie, that's one of the reasons they aren't doing it on the books, convincing Jessie its all because he wouldn't be safe with the cops. As stated earlier hank will do anything at this point to catch Walt.
No it wasn't. He said it was a scenerio he could live with. What does that have to do with anything? I am still not clear what lie you are referring to.
After the little incident in season 2 or 3 where hank beat the **** out of Jessie any sort of confrontation or forcing him to cooperate without reading him his rights ( yes, Hank told him he didn't have a choice) could lead to him cleaning bathrooms with a toothbrush for the rest of his life. Hank is a shady ass cop with a depraved moral compass. According to the law, he may be doing the right things but doing it for morally f'd up reasons. He doesn't want to catch Walt because he deserves it, he wants to catch Walt because Walt has made him his little b**** for over a year without him even knowing it. "Something he could live with?" It was pretty implied that having Jessie shot was what he was going for, everybody else in the thread has even acknowledged that, and deliberately doing that for his ego, something he masquerades as the law makes him no different than Walt. Except that Walt was dealt a ****ty hand by life and got into what he was doing to support a baby daughter and disabled son. The path he was on ultimately led him to break bad, but he still has certain values and motivations behind what he is doing that can be understood. Skyler was completely against Walt and agreed to meetup with Hank, but during the meeting it was pretty blatant that hank was lying to her about what was in her best interest and keeping her rights and lawyer out of the case. Hank didn't give a **** about her or the kids. They could be begging on the road for all he cares as long as he caught the great Heisenberg, so you can see why I think he is a ****ty person. Giligan even stated that there were a lot of aspects concerning hank's true nature (a character everybody liked earlier on) that would cause people to turn around.
I liked him before, but it's hard when you turn into everybody's goto manipulative pet. First half of last season is when Jessie was the most likeable, but I realized he just slipped through the cracks of natural selection because of Walt. So many times he would have gotten himself killed, and it's pretty obvious he is going to die.
Yeah, no question Hank isn't a clean person. He's Walt but on the other side of the law. He would have went to the DEA about Walt after finding "Leaves of Grass" if he wasn't concerned about his own career and how people view him. He's trying to manipulate Jesse just like Gus and Walt before him.
In what way is Hank manipulating him? In what way did Gus? They haven't lied to Jesse. Hank is not shady. You could call him emotional since he beat up Jesse when he made him think his wife had been seriously injured or the time he punches Walt in the garage. Neither of those actions were rational, but that's not shady. He has not tried to plant evidence on Walt or Jesse. You are contradicting your self. 'shady' means you don't do something by the law. Wanting to see Walt brought to justice for his crimes is not 'morally f'd up' and that is his reason for going after him. Hank has not tried to kill Walt (yet). It doesn't seem to have even crossed his mind to just shoot him and bury him in the desert. HE has been singularly focused on getting evidence to turn him into the DEA. If I had to guess why he doesn't want to report Walt to the DEA it is probably because he doesn't want to be taken off the case. He obviously would be.
Agree with the poster that says this show is over your head. Yes, he's breaking the law now, but even before when he wasn't, he was using the law as an excuse to feed his ego. You are narrowing your scope on details and not understanding how it relates to the central argument. Learn to do that and you will find yourself being able to communicate and persuade better. That aside ( don't mean for it to sound rude btw please don't take it as such) We can all agree the BB is the greatest show of all time, considering it is dominating our thoughts and making us argue so much.
You like juicystream make no arguments and just hurl out insults. Can you spare the board your immature 'your stupid' posts (and then you try to end the post with smiley faces. haha). Hank is suppose to be the contrast to Walt. Walt handles confrontation with murder and lies. Hank does the exact opposite. He has never considered killing Walt for revenge or to save his ass/reputation. And his been very honest with Jesse. At least so far. Hank is also obviously not trying to protect his job by not telling the DEA as others have suggested. If that was the case he wouldn't be trying to get evidence on Walt in the first place. Walt being arrested is synonymous with Hank losing his job/reputation. Also he wouldn't be talking to Gomie if this was the case.
Jesus Christ you are dense... been honest with him so far... Really?!? I wasn't making the "your stupid" argument, but clearly your insecurities mean something and you may in fact be. Please go ahead and keep watching the show and inform us what it is like through the eyes of a r****ded individual.
This is the same as calling someone stupid. Now you drop the r****d bomb. Another strong post. If you can't be civil then get lost. When Hank is confronted with finding out Walt's identity he could of very easily lied to everyone to save his reputation and job and pretended like he never saw that book on the toilet. Instead he tells his wife and best friend the truth and started trying to make a case against Walt. His reputation and job be damned. This is opposed to Walt who has spent the entire show lying to his wife, kids, and best friend (Jesse) to maintain his reputation. The show isn't even being subtle about the contrasts between Hank and Walt.
If you can't be reason, get lost. I can do it too. And yes, I was saying you are being stupid in my post after. Glad to see the latency time. I'm ending this before giving you a chance to derail this thread. Good day.
