[Hank meets with Skyler and tries to convince her to turn against Walt]
HankSkyler, my–my head is spinning. And yours... I–I can't even imagine. So much makes sense to me now. You jumping in the pool. You sending us your kids, I get it. I just wished I'd seen it sooner. He's a monster. He's—Look, I don't know what he did to you to force you to keep his secrets. If he threatened you, or whatever mind games he played. I don't know if there was abuse. But I want you to know that you can be open with me. Don't hold anything back, okay? I mean, I don't even understand if you know the full extent of this, what he's done. Not just the meth cooking, but the lives he's destroyed. But look, that's all behind you. Starting now, you're done being his victim. Because here's what we're gonna do. Sky, here's what we're gonna do: You and the kids are gonna move back to our house where you'll be safe, where he can't get to you.
Hank
No, no, we'll get to that soon enough. It's just you and me right now, okay?
Hank
Before we, um, before we get you back to the house, I...
[Hank takes out a recording device and turns it on]
Hank
I'm gonna ask you to tell me everything you can. Um, take as long as you like. Just, um, start from the beginning when you first became aware of Walt's activities, and just– just try to be as detailed as you can.
Um, what? Right–Right here? Right now?
Hank
Sure, why not? While it's still fresh, you know? And just, um, just, um, remember to, um, just state your name and the date before you start.
Hank, do... do we have to–have to do this right now?
Hank
No, we—we don't have to do this right now. No. [turns off the recording device] But just here's the thing. You see, I need something solid that I can bring to my people. A statement on the record. So you testifying to Walt's criminal activities–whatever you know–can go a long, long way here. Okay, I mean, you see, building a case this big, gathering all this evidence, enough to get a conviction–we're talking a long-haul proposition here. And I don't want that bastard running out the clock. But with your testimony—
Wait, what do you mean "running out the clock?"
Hank
His cancer. His cancer's back. So he said. He didn't tell you? Who's to say it's even true? Lying piece of shit. Look, regardless, I mean, we'll just assume. Fine. Okay? You know what? That son of a bitch looks me in the eye and he says if what I know is true, if... he'll be dead before I can prove it. The balls on that son of a–I got all these little pieces. They're all part of the story, right? But they don't mean much on their own. But when you start telling me what you know, when you start filling the gaps, I'll have him in lockup before the sun goes down.
Hank, I... I... I think maybe... maybe I need a lawyer.
Hank
What? No, no, no, no, you don't.
Hank
Skyler, understand, I am here to help you. But to do that, I need your help. We start bringing in lawyers and they start putting up roadblocks where they don't need to be, and my ability to control the situation diminishes.
Just for my own protection. It just, you know, it seems to make sense that I should have someone to talk to.
Hank
Skyler, I am your–your biggest advocate here, and I'm telling you, for your own good, you need to get out ahead of this thing. I mean, you start–you know–getting defensive, I–I'm not saying it's right, but I'll tell you it's a fact. The D.A. will look at you differently.
Hank
Skyler, yes, I–I do. I've been around long enough to know. It's in your best interest to get out there and show the world you have nothing to hide. Look, no one in the world is more important to me than your sister. So believe me when I tell you that your best interest and mine are the same.
But Hank, you telling me not to talk to a lawyer doesn't sound like that at all. It sounds like what you want... What you want is to get Walter at all costs.
Hank
Okay. Okay. Let's just slow down. Slow down. You can. You can talk to a lawyer later. But right now, what we need to do, we need to go get the kids, we need to bring them to my house where they are safe. And then we need to help each other put this animal away, okay? [gets up from the table] Come on.
Hank
No, come on. Let's go to the house and we'll deal with it there. Come on.
Hank
What?
[Hank sits back down.]
Hank
Skyler. I–I—You're not thinking straight about this. You have to listen to me. I–Skyler...
[Skyler gets up from the table. Hank also gets up and grabs her arm.]
Hank
Skyler, Skyler, Skyler—
Hank
No. No. No.
Hank
No. Sky–Shhh!
Am I under arrest?! HANK, ARE YOU ARRESTING ME?
Hank
Sky—
[Skyler violently shakes off Hank's grab and leaves the restaurant.]
Hank
Mr. Pinkman. How are you today? Not so good, huh? 'Course, uh, I might be able to help you out. I wanna talk to you about your partner, Heisenberg. See, I know he's my brother-in-law, Walt.
[Jesse looks at Hank, slightly surprised]
Hank
Oh, yeah. That's the look. Lucky for you, I'm more interested in him. So I got an offer. If you help me out here, tell me all about you and him and your little meth business, maybe I talk to my friends at the APD and make all this go away. I know he's the mastermind here. Plus... I'm thinking based on your recent activities that, uh... maybe there's a little trouble in paradise? Maybe you guys aren't, uh, getting along so good? I'm right, aren't I?
Hank
Sure that's how you want to play this?
Why don't you try and beat it out of me? That's your thing, right?
Hank
He really did a number on you, didn't he? I don't know, but... happy people usually don't go around... throwing millions of dollars away. I don't think, uh, Walt's gonna be patting you on the back for that. But maybe that's the point. 'Cause, you see, I get that. My own brother-in-law, lying to me for over a year, using me. Maybe you understand that feeling. Help me out here, Jesse... and we can put him away. I know you want that. I think you wanna talk.
[Saul enters the interrogation room, followed by two detectives.]
Agent Schrader, beat any good suspects lately? [to the two detectives] Hey, tall and taller, ask him his history with my client. He knocked the poor kid unconscious last time they were alone together. So what'll it be, gentlemen, a civil rights lawsuit the size of Montana? 'Cause I'll oblige you. [Hank starts to leave] Oh, so long, Rocky. Keep your left up. Detectives, I'm inviting you to leave.
[After watching the "confession" tape]
Who do you think he's shown this to?
Hank
No one. It's a threat. It's what he will do if I don't back off.
I think you should show this to Ramey. Just get ahead of it. That video is a bunch of lies, Hank. Anybody who knows you will know—
Hank
$177,000? Hell's he talking about? Marie?
They told me it was gambling money.
Hank
What was gambling money? Oh, Jesus Christ, Marie. Oh, God, no.
How was I supposed to know? How was I supposed to know where it really came from?
Hank
Why were they paying for my medical bills? What about my insurance?
Insurance wouldn't have covered the treatment that you needed, and I... I just wanted the best for you—
Hank
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I knew that you would refuse it, and without it, you may never have been able to walk again.
Hank
Oh, Christ, Marie. You killed me here. I mean, it's the–that's the last nail. That's the last nail in the coffin.
[An enraged Jesse has broken into and is about to burn down the White residence. Hank bursts in, gun drawn.]
Hank
Jesse! Stop what you're doing and turn and face me!
[sobbing] You wanna–You wanna know what he did? You wanna hear about it?
Hank
Jesse, put out the lighter.
He poisoned a little kid. An eight-year-old boy. Just because, you know–just as a move!
Hank
Walt's a bastard. Secret's out. We'll talk about it. But I need you to put out the lighter, okay? Look, Jesse... Jesse, I don't want to kill you. And you don't wanna be killed. So put it out.
He can't keep getting away with this! He can't keep getting away with it!
Hank
He won't. You really wanna burn him down? Let's do it together.
HHuell
I didn't know he was gonna kill him.
Hank
Relax. Look, if we thought you did, you'd be in lockup for conspiracy to commit murder instead of here under our protection.
So just tell us everything you know about White so we can get him before he gets to you.
HHuell
Why would he wanna kill me? I ain't done nothin' to him.
Hank
Who knows with this guy? From what he said to Goodman, it may have something to do with him trying to tie up loose ends regarding his poisoning some kid named Brock. Or maybe it's because you know where his money is.
HHuell
I don't know where his money is.
That ain't what we heard.
HHuell
Well, you ain't listened to the people in the know.
Hank
[after handcuffing Walt] Agent Gomez, should we flip a coin for the honors?
No way, man. It's all yours.
Hank
Walter White, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney, and have an attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you at the government's expense. Do you understand these rights as I have just recited them to you?
[Jesse spits on Walt's face]
Hank
[over the phone] Hey, baby. I got him. Dead to rights.
Hank
Yeah. I got him in handcuffs as we speak. Want me to wave to him for you? [waves at Walt, handcuffed in the car] Huh? Well, he's not, uh– he's not feeling too friendly.
Oh, my God. You did it. Thank God.
Hank
Things are gonna be a little rough for the next couple weeks, but they'll get better. Baby, you okay?
Hank
I gotta go. It may be awhile before I get home. I love you.
[Jack points the gun at Hank and prepares to shoot him.]
No! Jack! No! Jack! Jack! Jack! No! No! Don’t! Jack! Don’t! No!
[Jack signals Kenny to bring Walter out of the SUV]
No! Jack! Jack! No! [walks toward Jack] Jack! No! Don’t kill him.
KKenny
Uh-uh, back it up.
[walks toward Jack] Don’t kill him. Don’t kill him. Jack.
KKenny
[pushes Walter away from Jack] Get back here.
JJack
The hell not? He’s DEA.
He’s my family. He’s my brother-in-law.
JJack
Didn’t cross your mind to maybe tell us you had a DEA agent for a brother-in-law? [to Todd] Did you know about this?
I called you off, remember? I told you not to come.
JJack
Well, it seems to me we did you a solid.
You weren’t supposed to be here.
JJack
Too late now. How about you telling me what was going down out here? Hmm? Yeah, you and your brother-in-law don’t seem to be getting along too well.
It doesn’t–doesn’t matter. It doesn’t concern you.
JJack
We just wasted his partner here and he’s wearing a bullet, so yeah, I’d say it does concern me.
This is... between him and me.
Hank
You bet your ass the cavalry’s comin’.
[to Jack] No! No, no. Jack, Jack! No. The DEA doesn’t know about this. Not yet. [to Hank] Hank, nothing can change what just happened, but you can walk out of here alive if you just promise us that you’ll– you’ll let this go.
[Hank scoffs]
JJack
Yeah, I thought as much. Sorry, man, just no scenario where this guy lives.
No, no, no, listen! I have money! It’s buried right here. It’s here. It’s $80 million. $80 million.
JJack
So, that’s what got this party started, huh? But this money of yours won’t do me much good in prison.
You can–you can go anywhere. You can do anything. Just think about that. You can have any future that you want. Jack. Eighty. Million. All you’ve got to do is let him go.
KKenny
That’s a hell of an offer.
JJack
[to Hank] What do you think, Fed? Would you take that deal?
It's Hank. His name is Hank.
JJack
How about it, Hank? Should I let you go?
Hank
My name is ASAC Schrader. And you can go fuck yourself.
Hank... listen to me. You gotta tell him. You gotta tell him now that we can work this out. Please. Please.
Hank
What? You want me to beg? You're the smartest guy I ever met. And you're too stupid to see... he made up his mind ten minutes ago. [to Jack] Do what you're gonna do—
[Jack shoots Hank dead]
