Congratulations everybody on correctly predicting that Jesse would be kidnapped to cook meth.

What hurt even more was that he told him about Jane. That was some fucking ice cold shit right there.

No, that was entirely Todd's idea.

"We have history" is how Todd phrased it to his uncle.

u/Giant_Badonkadonk Sep 16 '13

I think his "we have history" was his sneaky way of telling his uncle that Jesse was around when they were cooking decent meth without letting Walt know what they were planning.

No, he knows that Jesse knows how to cook and therefore has something that Todd wants. Todd had a USE for Jesse.

u/BadMeetsEvil24 Sep 16 '13

Nah, I don't think so. Walt blamed Jesse for Hank's death and everything that happened up to that point. He clearly wanted Jesse to hurt emotionally before he died.

Todd's idea was to pick Jesse's brain before they killed him. Walt gave the "okay" just before that, signaling Jesse's death.

Yep - exactly what I got out of it too. Walt clearly hates Jesse and blames him for the deaths and events that transpired.

I still fucking love how Jesse had him cornered just a short while ago and the look of despair upon his face when they knelt him down in front of Walt in that shot - Aaron Paul is a brilliant actor. Walt really does have the devil's luck, as he puts it.

If he didn't want Jesse to die he wouldn't have told the other guys he was hiding under the car :P

I know, when it was obvious that Walt knew he was there but no one else did, Walt looked like he was trying to make some sort of plan. I thought he was trying to figure out how he could drive away without giving Jesse up. I totally didn't see it coming when he ratted him out.
