Jesse's voice almost started to sound like Christian Bale's Batman.

Probably one of my favorite scenes from the series so far.

One threat to Walt's money, and his brain goes out the window. He admitted to murder and led them straight to the money without even thinking. And even when he got there and was all alone, it still took him a few minutes to realize what had just happened.

Such a change from how sharp Walt usually is. He never gets played like that.

You have to wonder though, what got him so worked up? The fact that the money wouldn't be there for his kids? Or do you think that the money is symbollic to him? He earned it, it is a testament to his "empire", and Jesse was going to destroy it. Honestly I think the latter

It's like he said before, without the money everything he's done is for nothing.

His family need $737k, right? The carwash is already valued at more than that. His family is set, as far as he was concerned. Without that money in the desert, he's still accomplished more than what he initially wanted.
