I like how they did this. You would think that in the process of Hank laying out all his clues and info he would be in a hurry to cut right to the chase about Gus’s fingerprints being at the crime scene as it’s his only real piece of physical evidence. But instead he knows that accusing Gus with a charge of this magnitude is a huge stretch to his partner’s and superior’s judgment. So he ends the procession with the suggestion of Gus’s involvement to allow that thought to settle in their minds and so that they can get their immediate rebuffs out of the way, then he hits them with the key evidence which is now much more likely to convince. Perfect example of burying the lede.

Hank Schrader, a character from the television series "Breaking Bad," may not fit the traditional mold of a hero, but his complex persona and actions throughout the series embody many qualities of heroism. His role as a DEA agent and his personal journey offer a compelling case for why he can be considered a hero, albeit an unconventional one. Dedication to Justice Hank Schrader’s most apparent heroic trait is his unwavering commitment to upholding the law. As a DEA agent, Hank’s primary mission is to combat drug trafficking and drug-related crimes. His dedication to this mission is evident from his relentless pursuit of drug dealers and his willingness to put himself in harm’s way to bring criminals to justice. This commitment is not just a job for Hank; it’s a fundamental part of his identity and sense of purpose. His determination to rid the streets of illegal drugs reflects a deep-seated belief in justice and the rule of law. Personal Sacrifice Hank’s heroism is also demonstrated through his personal sacrifices. Throughout the series, he endures significant personal and professional challenges. His involvement in high-stakes drug investigations puts him in constant danger, and he faces threats to his life from dangerous criminals. Despite these risks, Hank persists in his work, showing remarkable courage and resilience. His dedication often comes at the expense of his personal life, putting strain on his relationships with his family and friends. This willingness to sacrifice his personal comfort and safety for the greater good underscores his heroism. Courage in the Face of Adversity One of Hank’s most defining heroic moments is his courage when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. His determination to continue pursuing the elusive Heisenberg, despite mounting evidence and threats against him, highlights his bravery. His relentless pursuit of this criminal, even when the investigation puts his life at risk, demonstrates a profound sense of duty and courage. His resilience in the face of adversity and his refusal to back down from a dangerous and challenging case showcase his heroic qualities. Ethical Integrity Hank Schrader’s actions are guided by a strong moral compass, reflecting his ethical integrity. Unlike many characters in "Breaking Bad," Hank operates within the confines of the law and maintains his principles throughout his career. Even when confronted with moral ambiguities and personal challenges, Hank strives to uphold his values and fulfill his responsibilities as a law enforcement officer. His commitment to justice and ethical behavior, even in the face of corruption and moral compromise, reinforces his status as a hero. Protection of the Innocent Another aspect of Hank’s heroism is his dedication to protecting innocent people from harm. His work as a DEA agent is motivated by a desire to safeguard communities from the devastating effects of drug trafficking. Hank’s pursuit of drug dealers and criminals is driven by a genuine concern for the well-being of others, particularly those who are vulnerable to the dangers of illegal drugs. His efforts to shield innocent individuals from the consequences of drug-related crimes demonstrate a profound sense of responsibility and care for the welfare of others. Personal Growth and Redemption Hank’s character arc also includes a journey of personal growth and redemption. Throughout the series, Hank evolves from a brash and sometimes abrasive law enforcement officer to a more nuanced and self-aware individual. His experiences and challenges force him to confront his own vulnerabilities and reevaluate his priorities. This growth and introspection contribute to his overall heroism, as he becomes more empathetic and understanding of the complexities of the world around him. Loyalty and Family Hank’s sense of loyalty and devotion to his family further underscores his heroic qualities. Despite his demanding job and the dangers he faces, Hank remains deeply committed to his family, including his wife, Marie, and his brother-in-law, Walter White. His protective instincts and sense of responsibility toward his loved ones reveal a more personal and relatable side of his heroism. His struggle to balance his professional and personal life, while maintaining his commitment to both, highlights his dedication and resilience. Facing the Ultimate Sacrifice In the series, Hank ultimately faces the ultimate sacrifice when he is confronted with his own mortality. His final moments reflect a profound sense of courage and dignity, as he faces his fate with bravery and acceptance. Hank’s willingness to confront his own death and his final acts of defiance against his captors serve as a testament to his heroism. His sacrifice underscores the depth of his commitment to his principles and his enduring sense of duty. In summary, Hank Schrader embodies many qualities of a hero through his dedication to justice, personal sacrifice, courage, ethical integrity, and protection of the innocent. His journey throughout "Breaking Bad" showcases a multifaceted character whose actions and decisions reflect a deep sense of duty and heroism, even in the face of formidable challenges and personal adversity.

@@MrLilfee Walter White from Breaking Bad is a complex character whose descent into criminality and eventual downfall raises significant questions about personal responsibility and culpability. While some might argue that he is a victim of circumstances, a closer examination of his actions, motivations, and the consequences of his choices reveals why he is not merely a victim and why he ultimately deserved the tragic outcome he faced. Walter White's journey begins with a seemingly sympathetic motive: securing financial stability for his family after his terminal cancer diagnosis. However, this initial altruistic justification quickly reveals itself to be a facade. Walter's decision to enter the drug trade is driven by more than just a desire to provide for his family; it is also fueled by his own ego, pride, and a deep-seated need to prove himself. His initial actions, including cooking methamphetamine, stem from a personal desire to regain control and assert his dominance rather than solely providing for his family. As the series progresses, Walter's moral compass becomes increasingly compromised. His transformation from a mild-mannered chemistry teacher to a ruthless drug lord demonstrates a significant ethical decline. Walter’s actions often reflect a willingness to prioritize his own interests over the well-being of others. His decision to commit murder, manipulate those around him, and engage in increasingly violent and immoral behavior highlights his ethical deterioration. Walter's consistent disregard for the consequences of his actions on others, including his family, partners, and adversaries, underscores his culpability. Walter's behavior throughout the series reveals a pattern of manipulation and betrayal. He manipulates his family, particularly his wife, Skyler, to conceal his criminal activities, creating a web of deceit that damages his relationships. His betrayal of his former partner, Jesse Pinkman, is particularly egregious. Walter initially takes Jesse under his wing but later exploits him for his own gain, ultimately leading to Jesse’s suffering. This pattern of manipulation and betrayal illustrates Walter’s willingness to use and discard people for his personal benefit, further negating any claim to victimhood. Walter's entry into the drug trade leads to a significant escalation in violence and criminality. His involvement in the methamphetamine empire results in numerous violent confrontations and the deaths of several individuals, including Hank Schrader and many others. Walter’s increasing willingness to resort to violence to protect his empire and eliminate threats reveals his moral degradation and culpability for the chaos and destruction he causes. His actions directly contribute to the suffering and deaths of others, challenging any notion of him being a victim of external circumstances. Walter White's failure to take responsibility for his actions is a key factor in his lack of victimhood. Throughout the series, he often deflects blame and justifies his actions with rationalizations and self-serving excuses. He rarely acknowledges the full extent of the harm he has caused or takes accountability for his role in the ensuing chaos. His tendency to blame others for his problems and his refusal to confront the reality of his actions demonstrate a significant lack of personal responsibility. Walter’s descent into criminality is characterized by an increasing hubris and sense of invincibility. As he accumulates power and success in the drug trade, he becomes more arrogant and confident in his own abilities. This hubris blinds him to the risks and consequences of his actions, leading him to make increasingly reckless decisions. His downfall is, in part, a consequence of this overconfidence and belief that he is untouchable. The ultimate consequence of Walter White's actions is his death and the destruction of his criminal empire. While some might argue that his demise is tragic, it is also a direct result of his choices and actions throughout the series. His final moments reflect a culmination of his moral decline, the consequences of his criminal behavior, and the inevitable retribution for his many wrongdoings. Walter’s end serves as a form of narrative justice, reflecting the idea that his actions had severe and unavoidable repercussions. In conclusion, Walter White's journey in breaking Bad reveals that he is far from a victim. His descent into criminality, ethical failures, manipulation, violence, and lack of personal responsibility illustrate a complex character who ultimately deserved the tragic outcome he faced. His actions, driven by ego and self-interest, lead to a series of consequences that reflect his culpability and the moral implications of his choices. He deserves what happened to him dude.

Hank knew precisely what he was stepping into here. He was well aware that his theory would be argued by Gomez and George. He slowly built his case with evidence and even agreed with both of them before bringing the final piece of the puzzle, instead of giving them a shock at the start, which they will definitely resist boldly, given how Gus has created his image around the department. Hank slowly builds up his case and waits for all their arguments to be over. Its a great technique showing that all three are on the same side.

Hank is on point, but the other two are horrible investigators. You literally have a triangle between (A) some random chemist getting an industrial air filter from (B) a big company in Germany that has no connections with this chemist and who owns (C) a local fast food chain in New Mexico, the napkin of which was found at the scene of the crime with this info and has no reason to be at the chemists home since he’s vegan. The whole “KFC” argument falls apart since it doesn’t complete the triangle as neatly as Pollo’s Hermanos.

Not both terrible, just his superior. His superior questioned it out of a conflict of interest straight away, later he gets fired and accepts it was because he had a conflict of interest. Gomez is just the way he is with Hank when they talk theories, partners intuition. They've worked so closely together for so long he isn't closed to it, but this is how he just jaws back and forth with Hank. He is happy to help Hank investigate the Laundromat later in the season. Him and Hank were brothers, they'd hear each other out, but give each other a bit of attitude along the way.

He had soooooo much personal development. He took responsibility for what he did to Jesse, it was completely understandable he did so but he didn't settle on that, he knew he had to be better, he let himself down, and admitted to himself that it was just as much to do with him not dealing with his previous issues from the shootout with Tuco and the Mexico assignment as the phone call pretending Marie was in a car crash. He was really growing up, and accepted that he would likely have to move on from how career to something else he didn't have a notion of doing. Entered a period of true soul searching. Then he got shot up by the twins and went through the full gamut of emotions in his recovery. He was a new man by this point in the series.

Given that Madrigal is on his side and having too many people involved would leave a bigger trail, Gus had no reason to do it that way as by all accounts, what he did was fool proof. Only reason Hank is on his tail is because Gale was killed in a drug related crime and Walter convinced Hank that Gale wasn't the real Heisenberg. If Gale was still alive, no one would have learned about this and the case would have been cold. If Walter kept his ego at bay, Hank would have assumed Heisenberg was dead and stopped investigating. Really, it was one new guy in his operation that fucked things up in an otherwise air-tight operation.

Nah, without the set up he would just be suddenly accusing a philanthropist and friend of the DEA. By going over his work, he explained to them how he arrived at his conclusion and upon seeing their doubts, he further validates his claims with the finger prints. If he did it in reverse he'd seem desperate, how he did it in this scene showed he had an answer to their doubts and also realized that it'd seem unbelievable, showing that Hank put more thought into this and it's not just a hunch.

Hank's use of the cane to point to Gus at 3:30 is brilliant from a directorial perspective. It's the clear turning point in the conversation's tone from Hank being a brilliant investigator and storyteller to Hank being a guy saddled with injuries (physical and personal) and looking for retribution. He could have pointed with his hands, but the cane highlights his injuries subconsciously, and you can see Gomie's and Merkert's reactions turn skeptical immediately afterwards.

He shows motive, means, circumstantial ties to a conglomerate. Thats enough for a case to be opened. Then he flattens em with the prints. Hank went from Dudley Doright to Elliot Stabler in 5 minutes and they stayed committed to the change for the remainder of the show. Fantastic writing.
