Imjin Rat but it was different for hank here it wasn’t a game against her he thought she was innocent and he wanted to help her and get walt, until he knows she was dirty too
@@Fbitypeshit No he just wanted to catch heisenberg, he did not care for her at all here.

They are not your friend, they just want to meet their quote and make as many arrests as possible. fuck them
Well if you hate a character for the personality the writers gave them, that’s just good acting lol that’s why a lot of iconic performances are from antagonists
I do not get the hate, imho Anna Gunn was amazing. The change of Skylar from bitchy wife through partner in crime to the broken person who lost almost everything was portrayed so well.
@@rud5101 some of us mean it because we remember what being a civilian is like. The issue is that 90% of the dipshits who only care about who they handcuff make us look untrustworthy. It took a LONG long time for me to earn trust in the community I worked in that I wouldn't hook them on stupid offenses like simple possession or even battery to a lesser extent. Two brothers getting into a little scuff doesn't warrant jail time.
Skyler absolutely nailed that Hank simply wanted to be the one that nabbed Walt, at all costs. It was embarrassing for him and his reputation for Walt to build a drug empire right under his nose for years. Skyler was an accessory, and while I'm sure he cared about the kids, they were roadblocks, and having them under his care made it easier.
I understand Hank’s desperation, but his lack of tact in this scene truly alienated Skyler. He wasn’t interested in her well being just getting Heisenberg. If he handled it differently perhaps this would have gone down differently.
Hank really didn’t know what to do. Imagine telling yourself for over a year that your brother in law is not doing anything wrong. His own family was under his nose and he was too gullible to know. He looked lost after speaking to Walt in this episode.
But that's the point. He's obsessed with his job, he likes it, he's good at it the same way Walt admitted in the end to Skyler. Hank didn't care much about anything other than "cathing the bad guys". Both Hank and Walt risked their lives, they killed people, ruined other people's lives, etc. They're not much different. They just happen to be on different sides of the law.
People talk a lot of sh*t on Skylar's character. But she literally saved Walt and herself and entire operation by not talking here. That would have buried her and everything.
@Marvin Morawski A large portion of Better Call Saul fans hate Chuck. Vast majority of fans love Jane. Jesse is worshiped. Todd is despised. Kim is beloved You can agree or disagree about the reasons, but I'm willing to bet most fans like characters based on their personality
@Mister Guy The writers do their best to make their protagonists relatable, and naturally people root for underdogs. It's only later in the series that we're supposed to turn away from them and agree with the antagonist. A lot of fans began to hate Jimmy after that Irene situation in season 3
Marvin Morawski The hatred towards Skyler was definitely earned. Anna is a great actress cause I definitely wanted to slap her across the face for the whole 5 seasons.
Eh I’m not sure I’d call Hank a good person… better than walt, Jesse, etc sure yeah. But he was kinda arrogant, treated ppl like crap often. He was an ok guy
@@failedabortion1894He only cared about saving face and having Walt in cuffs before the DEA realizing that Heisenberg was their agent's brother-in-law all along. At the end even Gomez scoffed at Hank not caring if anything happened to Jesse too.
Hank was being too hasty here. If he had actually talked to Skyler like family instead of treating her like some sort of means to an end, she would've been far more likely to give Hank the information he needed.
He was up front, for once in the last year or so someone was upfront with Skyler and she did not believe him. How else would you act in Hank's place? It's like knowing who the impostor is in Among us, you're extremely nervous and concerned for everyone's safety, especially now that you have the power to save everyone. This wasn't Hank's smartest move but definitely not a bad
I don't agree that Skyler would've ever helped him. At best she might have remained on better terms with Hank if he'd handled it differently, though even that's questionable in the long term. Skyler would've incriminated herself if she talked, and Hank would've wound up feeling betrayed by her, too, if he knew she was helping Walt to the extent that she did.
That was probably the case in the first part. After she explained herself and how it looked, he calmed down and was only concerned about getting the kids to safety.
1. Rule with cops, they don’t make laws or deals, they enforce laws. They can arrest you and submit charges, but the DA decides everything else, you don’t make deals with cops.
Hank is a federal officer. The charges would be brought to the U.S. Attorney of New Mexico, whom he probably knows well. He could certainly have an influence on whatever deals are made.
In minor matters, they certainly make deals -- laws are many and enforcement of them is selective and usually left to an officer's discretion. They have much leeway in sone respects, none in others.
@@stellarwind1946 Not in cases this big. This would get political, fast, and the fact that he's related to the suspect would mean that he would be put as far away from the case as possible.
I never noticed how textbook this interrogation really is. When I first saw this I thought that Skyler was quite irrational for pushing for a lawyer so much... but now that I've binged all JCS - criminal psychology it's pretty obvious she is smarter than I was when I first watched the episode. That's credit to the writers and the people who developed interrogation tactics. They really make you believe that they want to help you.
Poor Skyler, she knew that Hank cared more about his obsession with Heisenberg than to "save" her. Just like Walk's money-making obsession and doing these criminal acts to "help the family", she once again feels the same thing from Hank where he just wants to "help the family" when both were straight up using that excuse to get what they want.
Hank has NO ABILITY to control the situation! Cops can’t offer you anything. District Attorneys make the offer. Good for you Skyler! Brilliant writing! The perfect show!
@AlejandroRisinBecause people disliked her only when she was against Walt. Anytime she was culpable in his crap, the audience was on her side You still should never talk to the cops without a lawyer present
Hank was well-meaning here but his obsession with the Heisenberg really got ahead of his common sense/decency. If Skyler confessed her end of it here, she absolutely would have ended up in chains.
He is the parallel to Walt. A guy with a nice guy facade who, underneath it, is actually ruthless and willing to demolish anyone around him to achieve his goals. Both are involved in the most high-stakes chaotic scenarios of their lives, and both fuck up at critical junctures, leading to their demise.
I was one of few people who didn’t hate Skylar the first time I watched Breaking Bad. I’m rewatching it now, and I sympathize with her situation all the more. Sure, she’s not a charismatic or lovable character, but she’s compelling and believable. The way her anger and desperation came out so frantically felt so real, like you were watching an actual person’s marriage crumble in real time.
Same. After all the Skyler hate i saw before watching the show i went into it assuming i was going to hate her guts. But that moment never really came. People are just overreacting lmao
@@boxcutter4 A whole lot of incels who apparently hate her because she cheated on Walt. Drug manufacturing and dealing and all the violent crime that goes along with it is apparently fine, cool and badass even. But when they see a wahman cheating on her drug dealer husband, their moral failing detectors go wild and they start screeching.
didn't know how much hatred there was for her til after I finished the series and I honestly still don't understand how anyone got that from the show. They don't like the way she behaves but honestly, I thought every action was absolutely perfect for what she was going through. Plus Anna Gunn is amazing
Anna Gunn was one of the best actors on the show, which is saying a lot. She isn't charasmatic and she is pretty loud so that is why I think she gets the hate? People idolize characters like gus and mike and then hate on Skyler, makes no sense to me. She suffered a lot throughout the show and did everything she could to keep her family safe. Great character, great actress.
The part that turns me off of her a bit is in this scene you can see the moment at which Skyler chooses to not turn on Walter. It's when she learns he's dying and soon will he out of her life. Later in the bathroom she encourages Walter to not turn himself in and to stay quiet so Hank has to try and prove it. In this moment Skyler is being very selfish. It's understandable as self preservation given she got dragged into all of this by fairly justifiable circumstances, but in making this decision she is denying justice to every other person Walter has ever (or will ever, in those last few episodes) bring harm to. She's just not a very moral person at her core, just like Walt (but not as bad.) Her owm and her family's needs come above everything else, even if it means helping Walter get away with it.
hope this is a joke otherwise you missed a major characters entire story lol. Just like a woman to be upset when she finds out her spouse is a drug king pin.
@@johnnytravis6697 This is something that happens to every human. It's up to the parents to teach them that crying won't get you what you want. When you grow up and have kids you can teach them that they will grow out of being sexist once they leave your house.
If you get arrested, and formally charged, then perhaps you can cut a deal, immunity, witness protection, turn state's evidence. Until the charges come, don't say a word. Don't assume anything you say or do will lead to a deal no matter what they say. A deal is something your lawyer, the prosecutor, and judge have to work out. Not the police/DEA/FBI.
You know what a lawyer is going to tell you? Don't talk to the cops. Even when he gets there, if he is any good at all, he will prevent you from speaking to them WITH HIM THERE. Don't talk to the police.
As soon as Hank knew Walter was Heisenberg, he should have recused himself. It avoids ugly family situations like this. Get another agent assigned to the case.
It was personal though. You'd be upset too if you found out the man you considered as a brother had lied to and betrayed you. Not easy just to let that shit go
yeah I agree with arkansasgamer. That was the whole point. A family member had evaded him from right under his nose for years. This was vengeance as much as it was justice. HE wanted to be the one to topple Heisenberg. No one else.
angc214 The physical evidence was too low for a new agent to take over for. Hank was the only one to know who to look for and he found the buried cash within days.
@@TheAireaidLord A year and a half to be precise. But yeah, Hank was pissed that Walt had been playing him that long and using him. Handing it off to another agent would still mean having to admit to the D.E.A. that his brother was Heisenberg. Hank's career would go down the toilet.
If Hank had taken some time to collect himself and approach the conversation from a different angle, this would’ve worked out much better for him. It’s entirely his fault that she didn’t talk- he came at her not as family but as a cop
She was never talking no matter what he did. Skylar was complicate and or an accessory to the crimes of a drug lord. She was a lot of things but outright brain dead was not one of them. she's certainly smart enough to know that no deal Hank could make with her would have stood, seeing as he would have been put on administrative leave the very second he brought walt in. You don't get to be in chage of investigations of your first teir realtions and you certainly don't get to make informal protection for testimony agreements. She also knows that Hank has nothing that will stand up on it's own, otherwise he would have just arrested Walt. The problem is Hank is a dumbass who thinks skyler is a victim at this point, not the head of the laundering set up. He would have been unemployed but still alive if he had followed protocol instead of pulling this cowboy shit.
Skyler has been in there already, with Walt telling to not go the police "we dont need them" "i doing this for the family" and Hank...he just expose itself "You don't need a lawyer" "i doing this for your sister" this just is perfect, Skyler is not going to be manipulated again
Skyler was extremely smart, and very good at sensing and playing on the emotions of others. The fact that she managed to survive being married to Walt is a huge accomplishment.
@@YourCreepyUncle. I don't know about that. Skyler, at various points in the series, outmaneuvers Bogdan, Ted, the IRS, Walt, and Hank, and in the end it's suggested that she's going to be able to make a deal with the prosecution despite being an active accomplice in Walt's business. I think that goes beyond moderately creative.
Imagine being one of the diners and thinking "Damn, who was that crazy lady screaming?" and then like a year later you realize you just witnessed the beginning of Heisenberg's downfall.
To be fair to Skyler, she actually did a smart thing here. Hank's position in the DEA wouldn't necessarily save her from horrible consequences with the law. So no matter how much Hank reassured her, she did the right thing to not speak without a lawyer
yep, and everything she gives up means she can't plea, and if she doesn't get a lawyer to help her get a pardon in return for information she just goes down with walt. don't talk to the cops, folks, it doesn't work how it does in the movies, except this one, this one's pretty good.
*Hank:* You don't need a lawyer, Skyler *Saul:* Eh, what are you doing talking to my client detective? You Sneaky Pete. Did the Academy hire you right out of the womb? You guys get younger every year. (to Skyler): What'd you say to baby face over here? Anything stupid? When I mean stupid, I mean anything at all. (to Hank): You out! 10 minutes ago. Go on detective. There are rules. Have your Kindergarten Teacher read them to you. That's right. Go have a nap, go get a Juice Box whilst you're at it.
You can notice that skyler would've said something but as soon as she heard that walt's cancer is back and that he said that "he would never see the inside of a jail cell", she changed her mind because she knows what walt is capable of, and that was really brilliant from the writers.
@@randombutspecificMorality is grey and personal and subjective throughout this whole show; maybe to her that's what the right thing to do is, just wait it out
This is one of the reasons I love this show. It's about as grounded in reality as a scripted show can get. Although we know the,guilt or innocence of the characters, she absolutely did the right thing in lawyering up
Rightly so Hank was obsessed with catching Walt. Imagine you find out your brother in law is the meth kingpin you've been spending the last year and a half trying to catch and now you feel betrayed because he was family and you loved him and he was doing evil shit right under your nose.
I think part of the problem, is Hank had difficulty differentiating family and police work. His police work consumed him. His health and well being actually declined after his injuries when he was on medical leave because his police work was his identity. most people when they realize their family member is a criminal try to first help that family member first, Hank showed no interest in putting Walt back on the righteous path, and that scared Skyler to death.
This is a great scene! I think one of the things that make BB so good is that each character is intelligent but has flaws and diverse interests. Skylar acted exactly as I would - get legal counsel. Hank shows his dark side here. If he REALLY cared about Skylar, he would ENCOURAGE her to get a lawyer. His own wife is a kleptomaniac, so he should know that everyone has done questionable things, and (good) lawyers keep irrelevant transgressions from being used against their clients. What are the chances that HANK has never done anything unethical (or worse)?
Cool scene. Hank, despite caring deeply for Skylar, gives her terrible advice to "come clean" and implicate herself just so that he can reassert control.
No one on this show is perfect, it’s great. Hank is on such a war path that he doesn’t care if Skyler gets burned, their family ruined, her kids left without both their parents, etc. He just wants Walt because it’s personal for him. He has alluded him and played him for a fool across this whole show and it bruises Hank’s ego so hard.
I love the fact that people hate Skylar… but fail to realize SHE is the one who was ACTUALLY looking out for the family… like yeah she’s kind of annoying. But she only ever had her children in mind (Edit: since people think smoking 3 cigarettes while pregnant and sleeping with someone who is not your murderous, drug dealing, manipulative, egomaniacal, sociopath husband is considered “being a bad person”)
"but she only ever had her children children in mind" oh yeah especially when she was smoking while pregnancy, I'm sure that gonna help holly health future soon, maybe possibly it's gonna give him something like cancer, who knows? Thanks skyler for your caring
@@carlose9180 the money that walt made was eventually given to the white family in the end, meaning he did it for the money for his family, unlike skyler who were completely useless
I think the reason people hate her is that Walt’s story is so interesting and she is the one trying to stop it. The viewer cares more about being entertained than about what’s right and wrong
0:22 “i think maybe, I’d look guilty if I got a lawyer.” “Well actually, it’s getting arrested that makes people look guilty, and innocent people get arrested every day. And they find themselves in little room, with a detective, who tells them that he’s their best friend. ‘Talk to me. Let me clear this thing up! You don’t need a lawyer only guilty people need lawyers!’. And then boom! “
"Skyler, I can tell you. If you utilize your 5th amendment right to remain silent, the DA will judge you different." This is where I knew Hank cared more about getting Walt than protecting his family. This is such a desperate statement that I can't believe he would say it.
Dean Norris’s range as an actor is absolutely astounding. It’s a crime he spent so much time just getting cast as a bit part cop. He’s got subtext for days, it’s just so captivating.
I used to hate Skyler, but after all these years I get her perspective. She just acted the best she could in a hostile environment Walt put her in, she was just human trying to do what was best for herself and her family
0:57 his arms are extended past the middle of the table as he pushes her emotional boundaries, while her arms are retreating. Beautiful cinematography.
he was literally being emotionally aggressive to a woman with a disabled son, new daughter, ill and drug dealing husband. yet people can't see it as Hank being emotional
@@hazeldubb So what is he supposed to do. Her having a grown up son with a disability and being a new mother is redundant. She knowingly profited from illegal crimes and laundered the money. She’s not some innocent fragile victim
@@justinhopper5941 Exactly. She had more than one opportunity to get out while she could. She could have even filed the divorce, (like walt did) and went off with Ted. But instead she stayed and helped Walt.
While Hank was the good guy for a lot of the series, this was kind of a scummy move by him, particularly towards his own sister in law. Of course she should have a lawyer.
Hank was never the good guy for a single second in the show. I really wonder if some of you were half asleep while watching? Hanks whole point was being a shitty and awful person, just that he's doing it legally. Showing how not only the criminal drug lords can be the bad guys in society. Just in the first episode alone, Hank is depicted as the most douche and morally fucked up guy ever.
@@DonDadda45 What about the second in which 2 cartel goons were trying to murder him? Was he a good guy for that second? I'm not sure if you are getting the difference between being kind of an annoying SOB and someone on the side of good. What about when Walt was getting his own son drunk and Hank was trying to stop it?
@@DonDadda45 Hank is an asshole but he is the most "heroic" character we have in the show. He makes mistakes and is sometimes in the wrong, but he is far more morally superior to almost everyone else in the series.
"Wow, what a Karen. Exactly like a woman to get so emotional just because her husband is a drug lord/murderer and her brother-in-law interrogates her about it with no respect for her request to have some legal protection, like she's the means to an end rather than a human being." - a disturbingly large portion of BB fans
Oh look, the resident SJW has showed up to spinelessly straw people's positions without actually having the balls to address what they have to say aside from being snarky. Joy!
The fact that Skyler reacted the exact same way Walt did when he mentioned taking their kids just proves the amazing writing behind this show. Everything comes full circle in the most brilliant way. I miss a show as good as this one.
Great acting, Hanks eyes change as the show goes on and he has his soul drained by what he experiences. Wonder if there's a lot of makeup trickery going on to achieve that?
Mac probably. Every character’s appearance is perfect throughout the whole series..another good example is the more pale, unkempt Jesse we see in season 1, who looks like a drug addict.
If he clearly says no, then she is free to stand up and walk away. He isn't formally arresting her, but he doesn't want her to go so he's right in that grey area. Hank should not be grabbing her arm. If he clearly declares that she is under arrest, then her walking away could be considered fleeing or resisting arrest.
@@usul573 Not to mention, if he uses force without making it clear she is under arrest, he's committing assault, not dealing with someone resisting arrest.
@@thezeronelite Yes that's possible, the last thing Hank needs is a police misconduct report against him. Seems Hank wants to nuke Walt at all costs even if Skyler inadvertently gets caught in the blast.
@Marvin Morawski Hank punching Walt was outside of the law too. Walt is innocent until proven guilty even if Hank slaps the handcuffs on him and drags him to the station. Asking questions is legal, but so is the other person walking away and not saying a word.
Hank assumes his family is filled with good hearted people. He has a panic attack during his revelation that Walt was Heisenberg because that completely overturns everything he thought he knew and trusted about him. Now with Skylar again he's blinded by his love for his family and assumes Skylar is the victim of Walt and not an accessory to his crimes.
@Marvin Morawski "Since when did Hank move because of love?" When he supported Marie and got her help for her kleptomania, when he promised Walt that he would take care of his family after he was gone. When Saul's assistant pretends to be a police officer calling Hank telling him his wife was in a car accident, he rushes to the hospital having a panic attack and then proceeds to beat the living shit out of Jesse for messing with his family like that. I don't know why people think Hank had a big ego or that he thought he was the best.
I don’t deny for a second that Hank loved his family, but the moment he made the discovery, he broke bad, and like Walt, valued his pride over his well being. For Hank, this isn’t so much about the law as it is his ego. He couldn’t stand the fact that the man he knew for close to half his life was the kingpin he’s been chasing for over a year. He wasn’t concerned for what happens to Skylar after Walt goes anyway, anymore than he was concerned for what happens to Jesse, should he die chasing Walt.
Every. Single. Episode. Was. A. Masterpiece. There is not and has never been anything that will ever compare to this series, the acting, the writing, the production.
It's quite possible that Better Call Saul is better. It had something that BB never had. Pathos. Kim Wexler is one of the best female characters ever written.
2:50 "Am I under arrest?" "You're not thinking straight Skyler" Police when they are asked to answer a question trying to get you to answer a question.
Yeah. Hank should have know better that Skyler cannot testify against her husband, but his desperation got the best of him. Talking would incriminate both which is why she wanted a lawyer. I don't like her, but this is one of the few times she was on the right.
@@Luke_ I may not really like Skyler either, but to be fair it’s not exactly cheating. She wanted a divorce and Walt didn’t agree to it. They were separated at that point
There's not a bad performance from an actor playing an established character in Breaking Bad, but scenes like this really elevate just how good Dean Norris is as Hank. Phenomenal performance (as is Anna Gunn's)
it's interesting how Hank pauses for a moment then formulates his next tactic of granting she could get a lawyer later, once her kids are in safer hands from Walt, thus suggesting Skylar's wellbeing is in danger. It also makes him seem concerned. He may even be attempting to survey if Skylar herself is convinced she is in danger from Walt or if she is admissive of it.
It's really unsettling to see Hank like this. He's so desperate to catch Walt that he resorts to simple bad cop tricks instead of approaching Skyler like the family member she is. At any rate, she can't say anything as there is easily a case against her already. This scene is really Skyler's finest hour in my opinion. She's exceptionally brave to stand up to Hank like this despite the obvious ramifications. So she has to keep insisting she get a lawyer and, eventually, demanding to know if she is under arrest. It's so sad to watch her when Skyler has to ask that second time. She knows Hank has gone over the edge just far enough to meet her off the books, and that the end is fast approaching. Great scene, slightly better and more visceral than I remember.
@@littlegirlshowSynch Which he ended up doing too, ever so slightly in this very scene -- something like: "Skylar, if you utilize your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, the DA will judge you different." The DA, or District Attorney, is the person who makes you an offer to give up whatever information you can for lighter sentencing, but at that point you would have already been arrested and admitted to your own guilt to some degree. While I do believe he does still care for her, this little diner meeting was Hank doing whatever he could (off the books) to get a leg up on Walt, even if it meant throwing Skylar to the wolves and leaving Flynn and Holly without either parent.
Yeah he showed zero attachment to Walt But then again it’s not an impossible reaction knowing how evil Walt was But it does seem in real life he’d have had a glimmer of kindness to him
Well, he is alike Walt in the way that his obsession for his job is stronger than his love for his family. Also Hanks ego and pride was similar to Walts. Hank feels humiliated by Walt for being Heisenberg behind his back, and throw away everything he really loves and cares about to catch him.
I dislike Sky, but I understand why she did the things she did. She was the only one that truly did what she did for her family, the children, while Walt used it as a excuse to justify his evil actions. She was in a situation she didn't ask for and she had a unstable shadow of the man she loved, a man that has killed directly or indirectly for strictly selfish reasons. The character is just what happens when a person is forced into something they didn't want, the Actress did an amazing job

Skyler absolutely nailed that Hank simply wanted to be the one that nabbed Walt, at all costs. It was embarrassing for him and his reputation for Walt to build a drug empire right under his nose for years.
Skyler was an accessory, and while I'm sure he cared about the kids, they were roadblocks, and having them under his care made it easier.
I understand Hank’s desperation, but his lack of tact in this scene truly alienated Skyler. He wasn’t interested in her well being just getting Heisenberg. If he handled it differently perhaps this would have gone down differently.
Hank really didn’t know what to do. Imagine telling yourself for over a year that your brother in law is not doing anything wrong. His own family was under his nose and he was too gullible to know. He looked lost after speaking to Walt in this episode.
Exactly. Her priorities were keeping her family together and Hank kind of ignored all that. She was actually a genius to stay quiet her.
But that's the point. He's obsessed with his job, he likes it, he's good at it the same way Walt admitted in the end to Skyler. Hank didn't care much about anything other than "cathing the bad guys". Both Hank and Walt risked their lives, they killed people, ruined other people's lives, etc. They're not much different. They just happen to be on different sides of the law.

@Mister Guy The writers do their best to make their protagonists relatable, and naturally people root for underdogs. It's only later in the series that we're supposed to turn away from them and agree with the antagonist. A lot of fans began to hate Jimmy after that Irene situation in season 3
Marvin Morawski The hatred towards Skyler was definitely earned. Anna is a great actress cause I definitely wanted to slap her across the face for the whole 5 seasons.
I love the parallels between Hank and Walt, their desperation and obsession is what ultimately brought them down.
Except Hank was a good person and Walt wasn't.
Eh I’m not sure I’d call Hank a good person… better than walt, Jesse, etc sure yeah. But he was kinda arrogant, treated ppl like crap often. He was an ok guy
He was a flawed goodie @@jimbrewer5048
@@failedabortion1894He only cared about saving face and having Walt in cuffs before the DEA realizing that Heisenberg was their agent's brother-in-law all along. At the end even Gomez scoffed at Hank not caring if anything happened to Jesse too.
you just know they smashed no condam
Hank was being too hasty here. If he had actually talked to Skyler like family instead of treating her like some sort of means to an end, she would've been far more likely to give Hank the information he needed.
He didnt want to manipulate her like Walt would have done.
He was up front, for once in the last year or so someone was upfront with Skyler and she did not believe him. How else would you act in Hank's place? It's like knowing who the impostor is in Among us, you're extremely nervous and concerned for everyone's safety, especially now that you have the power to save everyone.
This wasn't Hank's smartest move but definitely not a bad
No... it's just that Hank thought Skyler was a blameless victim, he didn't know she was involved.
I don't agree that Skyler would've ever helped him. At best she might have remained on better terms with Hank if he'd handled it differently, though even that's questionable in the long term. Skyler would've incriminated herself if she talked, and Hank would've wound up feeling betrayed by her, too, if he knew she was helping Walt to the extent that she did.
That was probably the case in the first part. After she explained herself and how it looked, he calmed down and was only concerned about getting the kids to safety.
1. Rule with cops, they don’t make laws or deals, they enforce laws. They can arrest you and submit charges, but the DA decides everything else, you don’t make deals with cops.
ruclips.net/video/8tkqiJYz-68i/видео.html
He was a DEA agent. They have a little more wiggle room than regular cops tho.
Hank is a federal officer. The charges would be brought to the U.S. Attorney of New Mexico, whom he probably knows well. He could certainly have an influence on whatever deals are made.
In minor matters, they certainly make deals -- laws are many and enforcement of them is selective and usually left to an officer's discretion. They have much leeway in sone respects, none in others.
@@stellarwind1946 Not in cases this big. This would get political, fast, and the fact that he's related to the suspect would mean that he would be put as far away from the case as possible.
I never noticed how textbook this interrogation really is. When I first saw this I thought that Skyler was quite irrational for pushing for a lawyer so much... but now that I've binged all JCS - criminal psychology it's pretty obvious she is smarter than I was when I first watched the episode. That's credit to the writers and the people who developed interrogation tactics. They really make you believe that they want to help you.
Some of his phrasing was to me obvious his interests and her interests were NOT in line.
It's a bit more believable coming from a cop you have such a personal relationship with...but yeah she was smart here.

Poor Skyler, she knew that Hank cared more about his obsession with Heisenberg than to "save" her. Just like Walk's money-making obsession and doing these criminal acts to "help the family", she once again feels the same thing from Hank where he just wants to "help the family" when both were straight up using that excuse to get what they want.
Really well said
Excellent analysis!!
exactly!
This is it
That's true
Hank has NO ABILITY to control the situation! Cops can’t offer you anything. District Attorneys make the offer. Good for you Skyler! Brilliant writing! The perfect show!

You still should never talk to the cops without a lawyer present
Hank was well-meaning here but his obsession with the Heisenberg really got ahead of his common sense/decency. If Skyler confessed her end of it here, she absolutely would have ended up in chains.

He is the parallel to Walt. A guy with a nice guy facade who, underneath it, is actually ruthless and willing to demolish anyone around him to achieve his goals. Both are involved in the most high-stakes chaotic scenarios of their lives, and both fuck up at critical junctures, leading to their demise.
@@terracottapie Walt was far more ruthless to be fair.
@@jessetheanimenerd3304 He is constrained by the parameters of his job. Walt isn't
I was one of few people who didn’t hate Skylar the first time I watched Breaking Bad.
I’m rewatching it now, and I sympathize with her situation all the more. Sure, she’s not a charismatic or lovable character, but she’s compelling and believable. The way her anger and desperation came out so frantically felt so real, like you were watching an actual person’s marriage crumble in real time.
Same. After all the Skyler hate i saw before watching the show i went into it assuming i was going to hate her guts. But that moment never really came. People are just overreacting lmao
@@boxcutter4 A whole lot of incels who apparently hate her because she cheated on Walt. Drug manufacturing and dealing and all the violent crime that goes along with it is apparently fine, cool and badass even. But when they see a wahman cheating on her drug dealer husband, their moral failing detectors go wild and they start screeching.
didn't know how much hatred there was for her til after I finished the series and I honestly still don't understand how anyone got that from the show. They don't like the way she behaves but honestly, I thought every action was absolutely perfect for what she was going through. Plus Anna Gunn is amazing
Anna Gunn was one of the best actors on the show, which is saying a lot. She isn't charasmatic and she is pretty loud so that is why I think she gets the hate? People idolize characters like gus and mike and then hate on Skyler, makes no sense to me. She suffered a lot throughout the show and did everything she could to keep her family safe. Great character, great actress.
The part that turns me off of her a bit is in this scene you can see the moment at which Skyler chooses to not turn on Walter. It's when she learns he's dying and soon will he out of her life.
Later in the bathroom she encourages Walter to not turn himself in and to stay quiet so Hank has to try and prove it.
In this moment Skyler is being very selfish. It's understandable as self preservation given she got dragged into all of this by fairly justifiable circumstances, but in making this decision she is denying justice to every other person Walter has ever (or will ever, in those last few episodes) bring harm to.
She's just not a very moral person at her core, just like Walt (but not as bad.) Her owm and her family's needs come above everything else, even if it means helping Walter get away with it.
Skyler is a professional at throwing emotional fits as a defense.
In this case it was justified.
I think in this case the emotions felt pretty real
Most women are. They learn from an early age that this is how they get what they want.
hope this is a joke otherwise you missed a major characters entire story lol. Just like a woman to be upset when she finds out her spouse is a drug king pin.

Never talk to a cop without a lawyer
Bro what?
If it's legal, get a lawyer. No two ways about it.
If you get arrested, and formally charged, then perhaps you can cut a deal, immunity, witness protection, turn state's evidence. Until the charges come, don't say a word. Don't assume anything you say or do will lead to a deal no matter what they say. A deal is something your lawyer, the prosecutor, and judge have to work out. Not the police/DEA/FBI.
Valuable information
Hank got himself killed for playing Dick Tracy
You know what a lawyer is going to tell you? Don't talk to the cops. Even when he gets there, if he is any good at all, he will prevent you from speaking to them WITH HIM THERE.
Don't talk to the police.
@@usul573 as a police officer, I absolutely agree. You are correct.
Two sentences that would shut down any police officer:
1. “I want a lawyer.”
2. “Come back with a warrant.”
As soon as Hank knew Walter was Heisenberg, he should have recused himself. It avoids ugly family situations like this. Get another agent assigned to the case.
It was personal though. You'd be upset too if you found out the man you considered as a brother had lied to and betrayed you. Not easy just to let that shit go
yeah I agree with arkansasgamer. That was the whole point. A family member had evaded him from right under his nose for years. This was vengeance as much as it was justice. HE wanted to be the one to topple Heisenberg. No one else.
angc214 The physical evidence was too low for a new agent to take over for. Hank was the only one to know who to look for and he found the buried cash within days.
@@TheAireaidLord A year and a half to be precise. But yeah, Hank was pissed that Walt had been playing him that long and using him. Handing it off to another agent would still mean having to admit to the D.E.A. that his brother was Heisenberg. Hank's career would go down the toilet.
Bravo! Hank would be in serious trouble for not telling his superiors what was going on. Way too personally involved.
Rule of thumb, you always need a lawyer no matter your level of guilt or innocence.
If Hank had taken some time to collect himself and approach the conversation from a different angle, this would’ve worked out much better for him. It’s entirely his fault that she didn’t talk- he came at her not as family but as a cop
Lauren it’s her fault for no talking, she knows she will be in prison if she talks so that’s why she play a “victim” when she is no way near a victim
ruclips.net/video/8tkqiJYz-68u/видео.html
Hank was kind of on the clock. He had to talk to Skylar before Walt did so he didn't have time to gather his composure.
Exactly, started talking only as an arrest happy cop instead a caring Brother looking out for his Sister.
She was never talking no matter what he did. Skylar was complicate and or an accessory to the crimes of a drug lord. She was a lot of things but outright brain dead was not one of them. she's certainly smart enough to know that no deal Hank could make with her would have stood, seeing as he would have been put on administrative leave the very second he brought walt in. You don't get to be in chage of investigations of your first teir realtions and you certainly don't get to make informal protection for testimony agreements. She also knows that Hank has nothing that will stand up on it's own, otherwise he would have just arrested Walt. The problem is Hank is a dumbass who thinks skyler is a victim at this point, not the head of the laundering set up. He would have been unemployed but still alive if he had followed protocol instead of pulling this cowboy shit.
They did an incredible job of making Hank look like someone who'd be going through this. His character looked different for these couple of episodes.
Especially in the garage scene
Because he has been lied to all these years and Skylar knew everything Walt was doing. So in some way she was still loyal to him.
Skyler has been in there already, with Walt telling to not go the police "we dont need them" "i doing this for the family" and Hank...he just expose itself "You don't need a lawyer" "i doing this for your sister" this just is perfect, Skyler is not going to be manipulated again
You can say whatever you want about Skyler. But she is incredibly smart!
Thank You. Anna Gunn got so much hate for her role in this that people overlook the things she did right, that were smart.
Skyler was extremely smart, and very good at sensing and playing on the emotions of others. The fact that she managed to survive being married to Walt is a huge accomplishment.
She's not "incredibly smart", lol. She's a moderately creative bookkeeper.
@@YourCreepyUncle. I don't know about that. Skyler, at various points in the series, outmaneuvers Bogdan, Ted, the IRS, Walt, and Hank, and in the end it's suggested that she's going to be able to make a deal with the prosecution despite being an active accomplice in Walt's business. I think that goes beyond moderately creative.

People rarely remember these things
Dean Norris is such a phenomenal actor. Nobody could've played Hank better. Simply superb
To be fair to Skyler, she actually did a smart thing here. Hank's position in the DEA wouldn't necessarily save her from horrible consequences with the law. So no matter how much Hank reassured her, she did the right thing to not speak without a lawyer
yep, and everything she gives up means she can't plea, and if she doesn't get a lawyer to help her get a pardon in return for information she just goes down with walt. don't talk to the cops, folks, it doesn't work how it does in the movies, except this one, this one's pretty good.
Absolutely, protecting herself

Hank went Captain Ahab over Walt and just like Ahab his obsession got him killed.
Rightly so Hank was obsessed with catching Walt. Imagine you find out your brother in law is the meth kingpin you've been spending the last year and a half trying to catch and now you feel betrayed because he was family and you loved him and he was doing evil shit right under your nose.
I think part of the problem, is Hank had difficulty differentiating family and police work. His police work consumed him. His health and well being actually declined after his injuries when he was on medical leave because his police work was his identity. most people when they realize their family member is a criminal try to first help that family member first, Hank showed no interest in putting Walt back on the righteous path, and that scared Skyler to death.

right??? so good!!
This is a great scene! I think one of the things that make BB so good is that each character is intelligent but has flaws and diverse interests. Skylar acted exactly as I would - get legal counsel.
Hank shows his dark side here. If he REALLY cared about Skylar, he would ENCOURAGE her to get a lawyer. His own wife is a kleptomaniac, so he should know that everyone has done questionable things, and (good) lawyers keep irrelevant transgressions from being used against their clients. What are the chances that HANK has never done anything unethical (or worse)?
Hanks killed what 2-3 ppl. It’s only okay if your getting a pay cheque from the government to do that 😂
The acting here is perfect. So real, it makes me uncomfortable.
Cool scene. Hank, despite caring deeply for Skylar, gives her terrible advice to "come clean" and implicate herself just so that he can reassert control.
No one on this show is perfect, it’s great. Hank is on such a war path that he doesn’t care if Skyler gets burned, their family ruined, her kids left without both their parents, etc.
He just wants Walt because it’s personal for him. He has alluded him and played him for a fool across this whole show and it bruises Hank’s ego so hard.
One of Anna Gunn's best scenes for sure. She nailed it.

Probably because, in reality, his intent was to arrest her. He hates Heisenberg more than he cares about Skyler.
If he clearly says no, then she is free to stand up and walk away. He isn't formally arresting her, but he doesn't want her to go so he's right in that grey area. Hank should not be grabbing her arm.

Hank assumes his family is filled with good hearted people. He has a panic attack during his revelation that Walt was Heisenberg because that completely overturns everything he thought he knew and trusted about him. Now with Skylar again he's blinded by his love for his family and assumes Skylar is the victim of Walt and not an accessory to his crimes.
@Marvin Morawski "Since when did Hank move because of love?"
When he supported Marie and got her help for her kleptomania, when he promised Walt that he would take care of his family after he was gone.
When Saul's assistant pretends to be a police officer calling Hank telling him his wife was in a car accident, he rushes to the hospital having a panic attack and then proceeds to beat the living shit out of Jesse for messing with his family like that.
I don't know why people think Hank had a big ego or that he thought he was the best.
@Marvin Morawski But he didn't though, at least not after El Paso, that's when he realizes he's not the man he thought he was.
@Marvin Morawski Right, his ego is deflated after El Paso which is painful for him but it makes him a better person by Season 5.
I don’t deny for a second that Hank loved his family, but the moment he made the discovery, he broke bad, and like Walt, valued his pride over his well being. For Hank, this isn’t so much about the law as it is his ego. He couldn’t stand the fact that the man he knew for close to half his life was the kingpin he’s been chasing for over a year. He wasn’t concerned for what happens to Skylar after Walt goes anyway, anymore than he was concerned for what happens to Jesse, should he die chasing Walt.
Not to mention, as we all know, walt was out at this point. Hank getting involved now caused nothing but more pain
Every. Single. Episode. Was. A. Masterpiece. There is not and has never been anything that will ever compare to this series, the acting, the writing, the production.
Except Fly.
It's quite possible that Better Call Saul is better. It had something that BB never had. Pathos.
Kim Wexler is one of the best female characters ever written.
@@DPMusicStudio I'm inclined to agree. I think the last two seasons especially are the greatest thing to come out of the Breaking Bad universe
@@i.l.l.l.l.fly is not even a contender for worst episode
This was the last time Skylar talked to Hank. Really adds weight to her reaction when Walt reveals the location of his body.
The last time she talked to him was when they gave him the confessions DVD.
2:50 "Am I under arrest?" "You're not thinking straight Skyler"
Police when they are asked to answer a question trying to get you to answer a question.
Since he was already there, Hank should have ordered steak & eggs to go
The camera work at 1:00 is really good. If someone saw just this imagine without any context, they would have a good idea of what is going on.
"My ability to control this situation diminishes [if you bring in lawyers]" most honest cop of all time
I've seen enough JCS at this point to know that is exactly what a cop would do
Lol Same!
She was amazing in this series I hated her at times but just shows how good an actor she is
Hank looks unshaven, fevered, wild-eyed, and *desperate.* Nothing like his confident self. This whole thing really got him good.
Sky wasn't concerned for walter. She was concerned that she'd also get caught
EXACTLY
This is the moment skyler became heiseberg
When an officer of the law says “I’m here to help you”, RUN.
The one time I liked the crazy side of Skyler
Yeah. Hank should have know better that Skyler cannot testify against her husband, but his desperation got the best of him. Talking would incriminate both which is why she wanted a lawyer. I don't like her, but this is one of the few times she was on the right.
@@r-s8952 get out of here with that garbage!
@@SSJvegito501 Other than cheating on Walt, what did she do wrong?
@@Luke_ I may not really like Skyler either, but to be fair it’s not exactly cheating. She wanted a divorce and Walt didn’t agree to it. They were separated at that point
@@danielventura716 I guess that's a fair point.
There's not a bad performance from an actor playing an established character in Breaking Bad, but scenes like this really elevate just how good Dean Norris is as Hank. Phenomenal performance (as is Anna Gunn's)
I love the post production voiceover and foley the way as the camera pans back to hank and skyler's off camera walking away it pans hard left.
Hank knows damn well she needs an attorney, the writing and acting is as realistic as it can get
it's interesting how Hank pauses for a moment then formulates his next tactic of granting she could get a lawyer later, once her kids are in safer hands from Walt, thus suggesting Skylar's wellbeing is in danger. It also makes him seem concerned. He may even be attempting to survey if Skylar herself is convinced she is in danger from Walt or if she is admissive of it.
Anytime a cop says you don't need a lawyer, you get a lawyer real quick
It's really unsettling to see Hank like this. He's so desperate to catch Walt that he resorts to simple bad cop tricks instead of approaching Skyler like the family member she is. At any rate, she can't say anything as there is easily a case against her already. This scene is really Skyler's finest hour in my opinion. She's exceptionally brave to stand up to Hank like this despite the obvious ramifications. So she has to keep insisting she get a lawyer and, eventually, demanding to know if she is under arrest. It's so sad to watch her when Skyler has to ask that second time. She knows Hank has gone over the edge just far enough to meet her off the books, and that the end is fast approaching. Great scene, slightly better and more visceral than I remember.
it was good cop tricks, not bad cop
bad cop would be threatening her lol
@@littlegirlshowSynch
Which he ended up doing too, ever so slightly in this very scene -- something like:
"Skylar, if you utilize your 5th Amendment right to remain silent, the DA will judge you different."
The DA, or District Attorney, is the person who makes you an offer to give up whatever information you can for lighter sentencing, but at that point you would have already been arrested and admitted to your own guilt to some degree.
While I do believe he does still care for her, this little diner meeting was Hank doing whatever he could (off the books) to get a leg up on Walt, even if it meant throwing Skylar to the wolves and leaving Flynn and Holly without either parent.
Phenomenal acting. Hank looks genuinely shocked about what he has discovered about Walt.
Honestly, Hank's automatic turn on Walt once he found out who he is always surprised me.
Just you
Yeah he showed zero attachment to Walt
But then again it’s not an impossible reaction knowing how evil Walt was
But it does seem in real life he’d have had a glimmer of kindness to him
Well, he is alike Walt in the way that his obsession for his job is stronger than his love for his family. Also Hanks ego and pride was similar to Walts. Hank feels humiliated by Walt for being Heisenberg behind his back, and throw away everything he really loves and cares about to catch him.
I dislike Sky, but I understand why she did the things she did. She was the only one that truly did what she did for her family, the children, while Walt used it as a excuse to justify his evil actions. She was in a situation she didn't ask for and she had a unstable shadow of the man she loved, a man that has killed directly or indirectly for strictly selfish reasons. The character is just what happens when a person is forced into something they didn't want, the Actress did an amazing job
