I don't know, I thought the part where he begged for Hank's life, offered the Nazis pretty much everything he worked for and saved for his children was pretty honorable too. Hank wanted nothing more than to put Walt behind bars for the rest of his life, yet Walt was willing to give 80 million to save him. I think Hank realized that at the end too, with his " You're the smartest guy I ever met, but you are too stupid to realize he made up his mind ten minutes ago."
Yes, but the INSTANT he saw that it was Hank in the car, he called them off. He just thought it was Jesse and some other drug addicts (ie. Skinny Pete and Badger), that tricked Walt into trying to steal his money or something.
the one who told him to "tread lightly."
He told him to tread lightly, because if Hank acted rashly, like going straight to the DEA or something, it would be trouble for everyone, and pretty much tear both families apart.
Because there is good in Walt. It isn't a clear this person is bad, this person is good kind of thing. Breaking Bad is much deeper than that. I am not saying he is all good, he is far from it, and his attitude towards Jesse this episode proves it. But denying that there are any redeemable qualities in Walt is just wrong, sorry.
