    Ironically, his brother-in-law Hank being a DEA Agent helped him to go on undetected far longer. Any other DEA Agent without any personal or familial connections to Walter would've caught on much quicker when the equipment went missing.

Or that duffel bag full of money, Walt could have said "chemistry notebooks".

    When I rewatch this show, which I’ve done dozens of times, Walter always gets lucky. But then again, he’s smart enough to hold his own. Walter is a bloody genius. Gus was a genius, but Walter was a better one. Keeping himself alive using what ever means necessary. Walter did it to everyone. He was able to fool everyone. Not for long, but a while. He was a terrible liar. My only complaint, if you are going to lie, try to be good at it. Breaking Bad is amazing.

      Jesse's car was a whole different car, that Jesse bought with his own money which was supposed to be for his education. I remember, his mom told Hank that Jesse could've used that money for his education, but he wasted it on buying the car.
      Jesse bought his car when he lived in his mom and dad's place, which was before he was in the m*th business. So there is no way that Jesse bought Krazy 8's car, cuz by that time, he was already famous as a low level cook

      The whole mess with Krazy 8 happened way later, and even before that Jesse did have his car. So there's no way it was Jesse's car.
      Also, DEA took Krazy 8's carz as evidence. So there's no way someone could buy it

    @gnickthegnome1981 7 дней назад +1

    "you got me" at 25:00 is a scene i am always paranoid about. You can't tell me that in that moment, Hank didn't know. Now, there isn't much cause to believe Hank knew, but he would have certainly had suspicions from the moment he investigated the missing lab equipment. His immediate aggressive pursuit of Walt when he "finds out" seems to discredit this thought, but I just can't help seeing Hank's arc as one of cognitive dissonance. Yes, he is TRAINED to look at exactly all of the pieces of evidence that Walter lets slip. We have to wonder how he didn't know, because the fact of the matter is he HAD to. He knew and repressed, he wanted to believe that Walter would be scared off or, at the very least, incapable of participating in the worst implications of his career.
    I know Hank would work to forgive Walter if Walter had been a benign presence in the scene, producing only as a captive of some larger kingpin. I can't see Hank missing the mountain of evidence implicating Walter. I CAN see him underestimating Walter's guilt and trying to subtly warn him away from the scene while pursuing who he thinks are the real malevolent actors, or perhaps viewing him as a victim of ambition, underestimating and becoming trapped by the danger of the work he stumbles into trying to make money.
    As it stands, Walter destroyed everything Hank had, to the point of threatening his wife. He suspects, and he represses, and his repression represses to the point that he can't remember he knows until he is violently reminded of his well founded suspicions in the post-script of a series of profound traumas which are the consequence of Walter's actions exclusively.

      I always assumed he meant his life, at least up to the point of becoming Heisenberg, in the sense that it felt like a "prison" since he was trapped in this meek, underachieving lifestyle. Especially compared to his peers who were very wealthy and in high status jobs/professions, meanwhile he's a high school teacher who has to pick up shifts at a car wash just to get by. Becoming Heisenberg gave him a level of power and wealth he had never previously experienced.
