Yeah I kind of agree with you on this. I'm glad that Hank survived, but for a show that usually avoids the typical cliches you see on TV and film, the whole "bad characters suddenly can't aim when shooting important characters" thing was a bit annoying.

Why didn't Hank and Gomez just show their badges to the gang to prove they were actually police?
Or did they just think it would be a trap?

This was an off the job one so they probably didn't actually have their badges with them.
Locating the money was the whole plan. As such it doesn't really make sense.
Why? How would the huge pile of cash not be extremely incriminating? If every arrested needed a taped confession nobody would ever get busted.
Just finished watching this episode and am still assimilating what happened which is why I came in here for some BB therapy. Brilliant episode which to me made total sense considering what has gone before. Walt always seems to wriggle out of the trickiest of situations, Jesse never gets to glow in victory for long, Hank is a great cop but to hesitate is fatal. My wife was watching with me and she said that the Nazi's will turn up anyway, wait and see. As soon as Hank rang Marie I knew he was fooked. I presume Hank & Gomie are wearing bullet proof vests which is why they haven't fallen yet but it does seem very likely that they haven't a hope of surviving this but that could be why the writers ended the episode like this knowing the audience would think this way, maybe they have a surprise in store for us next week. Can't 'kin wait to find out.
How would they prove it's his?
I think they probably did it with the intention of Walt becoming panicked on the way, as they know how much he loves his money. In his panic, he was always going to try and justify his actions to Jesse and admit them on the phone. The money alone wasn't enough and I think they knew that.
No. Explain how they prove the money belongs to him.
i think the money is enough to convict him as everything could be built off it.
Hank is going to die, i would be fairly certain of it unless there is a gigantic curveball coming. Which i doubt.

Holy shit in a can that was great.
I was all geared up emotionally that Jesse and/or Hank were about to get killed, especially during Hank's victory speech, but now after his "love you" moment I can't be having him die, it would be too corny surely?
I hope the next episode opens with Skyler teaching Walt Jr more about the ins and outs of running a car wash.

I wonder if that has been a conscious desicion because of the relatively short time frame the show encompasses, if they'd killed Hank off in season 2 then we'd have had 3 seasons of Marie weeping uncontrollably.
And Gus and Mike were pretty major characters.
they had what 10 guns, trained on two targets for over 3 minutes, several people do a great job of looking like they are pretending to aim and they miss, every.... shot.
You realise that would be a rubbish show, right?
No. Raylan Givens always gets his own way.
The fact that Walt led them to the money. What's Walt gonna say? "I have no idea where those barrels of money with my fingerprints all over them that I led you to came from"? Like I said in an earlier post, real life drugs busts are based on much flimsier evidence than the kingpin leading you to millions in cash. All you need is something to build a case around, you can then add Jesse's confession, testimonies from Hank and Gomie, maybe evidence from Heull, investigations into the car wash, following up on other leads (the two guys Walt ran over, Brock's poisoning, etc.) The millions in cash isn't the be all and end all of the case, it's just undeniable physical evidence to base the case around.
I had to google that. Why is Timothy Olyphant in everything?
I've "rooted" for Hank at various points, I still think he should've died in that episode. Or at least been hit. It'd be really odd if he dies off screen.
I'm hoping they're holding it over because what they do is so epic they couldn't rush it onto the end of that episode.
Though I'm beginning to be swayed by the possibility they aren't going to kill him now, because that was when to do it.
Don't watch Justified.
Is that an admission or a demand?
Yeah good idea, hands on the badge, one on the gun, while facing the might of a small US special ops groups weaponry wise.
JEESUS.
Watch Justified. It is very good.
I just read the wikipedia entry for Raylan Givens, and it reads like Alan Partridge's pitch for Swallow.
fecking hell, that last episode...
More foreshadowing on display there. Saul making Walt disappear with that fake gun clicking motion is a precursor to Saul Killing him.
Eboue's right. Watch Justified.
It's my birthday in a few days and all I want if for Walt Junior to die a slow painful death. That gimpy smile to Saul was just too much to take.
That was brilliant. His complete ignorance to everything going on around him.
Something's missing from the case though. I can't quite put my finger on it, but despite the lorry load of evidence, you just know he will get away Scott free. Him leading them to the money is very circumstantial. With today's interest rates, it almost makes sense to keep your money hidden in an underground hole in the desert
I half noticed that. Not the best acting there.The feck?
Because that would mean lowering or at least taking one hand off of their weapons. They knew the Nazi's didn't give a feck whether they were cops or not.
Poor Walt Jr, completely clueless.
Aaaagh me eyes!! It's like watching the closing few seconds of a retard soggy biscuit competition and Walt Jnr is winning.
I must be missing something here, why would you want the completely innocent, heavily disabled boy to die?
Why? All he does is eat breakfast and has the odd sweet moment with Walt.
Leave the boy alone!
Says the lad that posted this at 2am! You might as well have stayed up for it, mate!
I have the dinner on now and Breaking Bad loading up. The building could go up on fire and I won't be budging!
I'm in Australia mate, so it works out differently time-wise for me.
Another brilliant episode, but cannot believe it went by so quickly - I thought my Netflix had stopped working when the screen went black and then the credits rolled! So tense!
I'm with you. 'Flynn'...
We live in a society of equality, and it is perfectly acceptable to want the heavily disabled to die painfully just as it is in the case of the more fortunate.
