it’s been bugging me since Sunday night - why did Huell flip so easily? Ever since he’s been on the show, he’s been portrayed as a cool & collected cat, secure and comfortable in what he does for Saul.
I wouldn’t have expected him to buy Hank’s story so easily, even with a photo from the camera.
because he does know that Walt had the ten guys in several prisons taken out all within two minutes. he also knows his partner and believes he would kill him once he saw the fake jesse murder photo. He also knows he can’t play stupid because Hank knows who Walt is - his brother in law no less - and told him a bunch of stuff that is true about Walt. I think huell just saw endgame and no upside playing stupid, and believed Jesse being dead. He also sees Saul getting more nervous about dealings with Walt, and Jesse is a big problem for Saul and Walt, and he didn’t go away.
I believe it’s plausible. Lots of times people forget governemt agents can lie to you.
That bugged me too. But what bugged me more was Walt losing total control when Jessie called him claiming he had found the money and was burning it.
Walt was screaming confessions and drving like a madman. Heisenberg would never have reacted that way.
It was almost too shark jumpy for me.
I thought it was great that he freaked out so easily seeing the brain-splattered photo. Sure, he comes off as cool and collected, but inside I think he’s a bit of a teddy bear. Every one is intimidated by his size and appearance, but he never really showed a mean streak or propensity for being vicious. He just gets by in this criminal world because people assume he’s a “bad dude”, and now we find out he’s really kind of a softie.
Huell and Kuby took some of Walt's money when they packed it into the van. They knew it, and Walt knew it, and they knew Walt knew it. That's why Walt said "close enough" when he checked the barrels, and why Huell and Kuby gave each other anxious looks when he said it.
