"Soooo…goin’ anywhere this weekend? Oh, right. Sorry.
Any luck on the girlfriend front…damn."
Actually, vacuum guy said it was the bank that seized the house, not the DEA.
I think you’re right about the physical evidence. I don’t think we know, for sure, what Skyler has said. Obviously Marie would have told them everything she knows. They’ve got the recorded confession. At least some circumstantial evidence: Hank and Gomez disappearing at the same time as Hank’s call to Marie, saying they’d got him, for example. Also the fact that Walt himself has fled. Enough to issue warrants. Since they don’t have Walt (and he’s dying of cancer) that’s all that matters right now.
Perhaps. I’ll bet that Flynn also now realizes how his father paid for that cool car he bought him.
I hope he winds up in Los Lunas married to Huell. It would serve the little beer-pimping shit right.
Wait, the Nazis raided Hank’s house but didn’t clean out the garage? Did we see that?
The Aryan Brotherhood had Jesse’s recorded confession, so they may also have all of those files from Hank’s garage. I hope those weren’t the only copies.
Todd wouldn’t notice the tension or awkwardness.
That’s a fair point, but people at the DEA would know what files Hank had requested. I think we only saw the wrecked living room but they probably weren’t gentle with the rest of the house. That’s not their style.
The boxes in Hank’s garage were all labelled “COPY”, for what it’s worth.
That’s good, but Jesse’s confession probably wasn’t copied, so the DEA doesn’t have that.
Not to mention Huell singing like a canary.
They can get the broad outlines without Jesse’s confession, and now they’ll have a task force on the case instead of just Hank.
A terrific Easter Egg that no one has mentioned is that Bob Odenkirk is in the cast of the new Alexander Payne film Nebraska, which was a prize-winner at Cannes this past spring.
It’s a wonderful film (Payne’s best, IMHO) and Odenkirk is good in it, so I liked the playful reference.
We know that Flynn won’t take the money (an 18 year old kid with no bills). Skyler, on the other hand, did take it. Unless I missed something, she’d be happy to get it back, if she could.
Once Walt is dead - and they know he’s dead - they will lose interest in Skyler. They’ve got her now, because she a link, and she’s leverage. But I think their interest in Sky is likely to wane, once they’ve seen Walt’s body.
Very cool. Does he play the manager of a Cinnabon, by any chance?
Definitely not. He plays a local news anchor and his brother (Will Forte) works in a stereo store. Bruce Dern (Best Actor at Cannes) is their father.
I thought it had been made clear that Walt and Gretchen subsequently became an actual couple, but then he broke up with her after (during) a visit to her parents’ house. Or was I just reading that between the lines?
It’s not spelled out explicitly, but I would argue that you did miss it: that when Skyler was persuaded by Marie to come clean to her son, and then he said she had been just as bad as Walt, she flipped to wanting to wash her hands of all the criminality to whatever degree possible.
She’s not leverage. She’s just the biggest fish they have. I think that’s a pretty accurate rendering of what the government usually does in these cases: if they can’t get the person responsible, they’ll hit the next-most-responsible person with everything they have. She’s in the same situation if Walt is dead.
Not too mention there are people who will want to see justice done- and punishing Skyler would fit the bill. Gomies family, Hank’s family (his own parents etc), Jesse’s family and the DEA who worked with Hank and Gomie.
Not written by Payne. Is that a first? Can’t wait for this (if it’s better than Election…).
