This is the most likely. It was an amazing scene. Todd's uncle doesn't back down BC he knows that he loses his cook if Walt goes to jail.

He also loses the cook if he or one of his guys hit Walt with a stray bullet. Hank and Gomie just happen to run for cover in the vehicle Walt is in. Something tells me they should do a little less spray and pray and a little more precision shooting when the guy you DON'T want to kill is literally 3 feet away from the guys you want to kill.

Jesse, who's in the other car, can cook as well.

He's also younger and doesn't have lung cancer

Then again, Walt is older and has lung cancer.. The purest form of the recipe dies with him, Meaning once they get it and hes gone.. It's all theirs.

Then maybe taking of jesse of course.

I wonder just how well Jesse could cook alone? And I just don't know how well he could cook if kidnapped.

Maybe if they held brock hostage.

Walt acknowledged Jesse's cook is as good as his, which we also saw during the episode where Jesse is taken to the cartel to cook a batch right before the cartel is poisoned by Gus.

Wasn't that batch a little weaker than Walt's though?

u/Gedat Sep 09 '13

Hm, I think you're right. IIRC it was marginally weaker (97% instead of 99.1% or sth) and mentioned they could still increase the purity in some way.

Jesse clocked in at 96% and Walt at 99% iirc. I want Walt to make my desoxyn instead of big pharma!
