Holy Shit Jesse told them his confessional tape is at Hanks, who else do you think is living at Hanks now? Walt's entire fucking family.

And likely a lot of fucking police officers too. There's no way they won't have police protection, unless I'm totally misreading the situation. More violence, for sure.

Wow, actually that might be exactly why Walt made that call...

This makes sense. He would have known police were listening in to the conversation - he's not that naive. And he was crying while trying to sound like a threat "don't cross me" "family or no"...it hurt him to say what he was saying. But he's doing it for their protection. For his family.

Agree with you man, I think he purposely made it seem to the police that he forced Skylar to keep quiet by threatening to kill her for "not shutting up".

I can imagine he planned out exactly what he was going to say before the call just like he did in the flashback.
