“i think gomez and hank are done. the foreshadowing call to marie, i may not be home for awhile, teary love you stuff.”
Notice Hank also talked about calling the Tribal Police to let them know where they were. That’s what he should have done, but instead he made the call to Marie first. If he hadn’t been in such a hurry to brag about catching Walt, backup would have been on its way.
So, that mistake could be his undoing.
excellent pickup about him not callign dea for backup, or tribal police. That crossed my mind too, he had to brag to marie he got his “white whale”. Poppa Doyle- or whoever the French connection officer was, he gets to put the cuffs on the criminal and frog march him to jail. I think that phone call was the critical mistake. Not thinking Walt would call someone for help was a critical mistake too.
See this is where Hank’s character flaws/weaknesses have done him in too. So fixated on getting him at all costs. Screw Jesse. Screw other junkies and snitches. They’re scum. If they die so be it. This whole show, has had all the cahracters under stress, showing inherently what’s in them, good and bad, and how they deal with it. Some rationalize it away. Some pull back but then get back into it. Some appear calm but one more thing may blow their control over themselves (marie, losing Hank ex).
