They are their employees - they don’t owe them any explanation. It would go like this:
“Todd is no longer with the organization.”
Them: “OK.” carry on with their business
This is not a business where people ask questions. They know better than that.
That said, I don’t think they have any reason to kill Todd. Also, it’s spelled “vamonos”, muchacho. 
In case anyone is interested, here is what Laura Fraser (Lydia) sounds like in real life.
Yes. Of course. My bad.
Whoa! I had no idea she was foreign. Now I think she’s even more of a hottie.
I kept thinking: Fingerprints, Fingerprints!!
If Hank’s PC ever has any problems and an IT guy comes in to look…
Yep.
I just rewatched. There wasn’t a serial number on those metal tabs. They said, “SECURED” on them.
I’d think that a DEA office is regularly swept for bugs. There may even be some sort of automated constant monitoring. Although, that thing Walt planted is probably very weak and very short range. It only needs to reach the receiver he plugged into the LAN.
This is probably nit-picky, but I’m trying to understand how it could work. Does it communicate with a static IP address? That would be dangerous as hell. Maybe it sends encrypted packets through a TOR server?
If Hank has known for some time, I will bitch slap the writers, because it would make no sense.
I haven’t been to New Mexico, but I have been on a desert tour in Arizona, and the guide mentioned that ranchers would let their (tagged) cattle loose to commingle with other ranchers’ (tagged) cattle on public lands.
So, the fences were probably not a divider of private lands, but just a way to minimize cattle and other animals from getting on the train tracks.
The fuzzy way I remember it, at that point Walt didn’t even need Jesse at all - in fact Jesse was a huge liability to his relationship with Gus. So, if Walt didn’t care what happened to Jesse, he could have easily let him just run off with Jane to face an almost certain death by OD.
You make it sound like Jesse’s future with Jane would have been happily ever after, if only Walt hadn’t selfishly intervened and ruined his chances for a happy ending. Obviously, I see it the other way - at that point, Walt was still looking after Jesse’s best interests, and actually went out of his way, and endangered his own interests, by not just writing Jesse off.
I don’t think this is possible without greater consequences, because Todd isn’t just a lone wolf–he’s part of a larger crew that runs the extermination front. We already know that they were doing jobs together, so there’s probably some implicit loyalty involved. It would be very difficult to explain how he got killed without opening a potential can of worms.
Walt & co. need that tent and that organization. While Todd’s actions weren’t admirable, they were understandable and not so far outside his station that they merited instant death. The exterminators may understand that Walt is in charge, but I don’t think they revere him so much that they would take the death of one of their own lying down. They might not have the power to exert some overt leverage, but they are in a perfect position to make trouble–plus, the legit business would have to hire another person anyway who may not be so comfortable with this side revenue stream.
Didn’t Walt put the tap right over the computer’s fan? Which means Hank’s brand new computer will soon overheat and fail?
I saw where he put it. If that causes it to overheat, I’d call it a goof. That’s not nearly enough of an obstruction to cause a failure.
For the record I suspect Walt will insist Todd stays alive because I think Walt will see Todd as an asset. However I think Todd isn’t an asset, and not only will he cause an irreparable rift between Walt and Jesse I think Todd represents a physical danger to Walt.
So I do not believe Todd will be killed anytime soon.
However, I also don’t think Vamanos Pest is going to be going to war with Mike and Walt over Todd being offed. I think that would be the smart move, because the risks of leaving Todd alive far outweigh any benefit of keeping him alive.
I just posted this earlier today in last week’s thread, but I’ll repeat it here:
I was looking at her IMDB page and learned that she was the blacksmith in the movie A Knight’s Tale. I always thought she was much hotter than the Lady and her maid in that movie. I didn’t recognize her in BB this season but now that I know, I’m like :smack:.
They were acting stupid, Jane, being greedy, blackmailed Walt into handing over Jesse’s 480k, by threatening to tip off the DEA with knowledge about Walt, etc. Walt knew that Jesse was using again, which is why he was reluctant to give Jesse his share (cuz he’d blow it all on drugs and OD). Then after his coincidential chat with Jane’s dad at the bar, he went back to keep Jesse from taking the money and running off to New Zealand with Jane (“Where they made Lord of the Rings!”).
Of course that’s when he found them both passed out from speedballing, nudging Jesse caused Jane to roll on her back, and asphyxiated on her vomit. Problem solved for Walt.
The evidence hank has:
•The gas mask from Walt’s school being found at the meth cook site.
•The gambling story.
•The WW initials on Gales notebook.
•Walts crashing of the aztec to stop Hank checking out a Laundromat that later turned out to have a meth lab in the bottom.
•Walts suspicious behaviour when Hank asked him to plant the bug on Gus car.
•Hank is aware of a connection between Walt and Jessie (see season 3), and Jessie was rescued from the boot of a meth dealers car.
•The sudden unexplained purchases of new cars (even leased it’s suspicious).
•His reaction to the new watch and Walt’s lame excuse “it’s a present, oh for myself”.
•Skylers bizarre behaviour, seems over the top for the Ted story.
Several times during the show including the last episode Hank has paused, given Walt a meaningful look and said “you know if there’s anything else”. He’s repeatedly given Walt a chance to come clean. Presumably if Walt was just a cook he’d be given a chance for immunity in return for evidence, especially with the whole dying of cancer angle. I’m not assuming Hank suspects Walt being involved in any murders.
But Hank has no reason to suspect him. That would be like suspecting a friend of being an alcoholic because you once saw him drinking a beer and a few weeks later he asked if he could borrow a few dollars until payday.
Also, IIRC, some of Walt’s glassware went missing from the classroom, but I could be wrong on that.
I’m half expecting a Usual Suspects montage of all that evidence when it clicks for Hank. I 100% don’t believe he has any idea right now, but I think at some point when he figures it out, he’ll start piecing that all together. Maybe not everything, but the stuff missing from the lab, his connection with Jesse, crashing the car…some of the bigger things.
While the writers are certainly toying with the audience in the things that hank notices or says about Walt, I think it’s more to keep reminding us how truly blind Hank is to the possibility it’s his own brother-in-law.
Even if/when he truly does begin to consider the possibility, there’ll be some super-strong denial happening, and he’d have to gather real evidence, as everything, besides the gas mask, is circumstantial (you forgot him wondering how in the hell Jesse knew Marie’s name when Hank had them cornered in the RV, and they made that fake-out call about her being in an accident; which ultimately lead to Hank beating the shit out of Jesse.)
It’s funny you mention Unusual Suspects, because I’m starting to think Hank won’t piece it all together until Walt gets away with it, or dies.
No reason, apart from his suspicious wealth, known connection to a meth cook, background in chemistry and everything else I said.
Being suspicious is Hank’s job, he’s a DEA agent.
Yes glassware was missing as well.
What’s suspicious about Walt’s wealth? He owns a thriving car wash.
