- All the clues that Hank missed.
Throughout the show, Hank Schrader, Walter White's brother-in-law and a dedicated DEA agent, came very very close to discovering the truth about Walter's double life. The signs were there from the very beginning, hidden in plain sight, but Hank missed them. All of them, until he found the copy of Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass," Walt received from his late colleague, Gale.
So, In this video, we will go back to the past and explore the key moments in Breaking Bad where Hank almost uncovered Walt's secret identity as Heisenberg but he ultimately failed.

I agree with others, it was not that Hank was too trusting of Walter, it was that he saw Walt as a "lesser" man that was incapable of the actions that Heisenberg did.
This speech turning his interrogation of Jesse after Tuco hints at this loudly. He tells Jesse that he doesn’t think Jesse shot Tuco, but he “knows the badass who does.” He’s looking for the boogeyman not his mild mannered brother-in-law.
@@martinm.1967 You must be hella insecure to apply this alpha and beta shit to humans as if we’re animals
I dont think Heisengberg actions were "manly" in any way
I wouldn't say "lesser as Hank stated that Walt was the smartest person that he knew. I would say that he thought Walt was a better, more moral person than Heisenberg.
@@mcmlxv9827i agree. he had a conception of what walt was and wasn’t capable of. it is shown throughout the series that he actually has great respect for walt’s sheepish qualities, seeing him as a caring and intelligent father, but walt is too focused on power and perceived slights to his masculinity from his “alpha male” brother-in-law to see that.
Can't believe it took hank so long to figure out walt was heisenberg, I literally figured it out in season 2
Took me till season 3 that's pretty impressive
Wait what! Walt is Heisenberg!!😨
Dude, spoil alert. I'm still on season 8.
I thought it was Willy wonka
Lol
I swear Walter always had the most indisputably guilty face whenever Hank mentioned absolutely anything incriminating 😭
That look is so funny, his mouth would hang open while he came up with something to say.
@@bluecreature39 literally, he didn’t even try to hide it
Hank: "We're looking for this guy named Heisenberg"
Walt: "😳 What.... who uhh... do you.... Do you know anything about him? Who is he? Do you know who he is?"
Hank: "Lol, no"
Brian Cranston really is a phenomenal actor. He played Walter so well and gave the character so much.
cringe
Imagine if Breaking bad would be from Hanks perspective.
The reveal that Walt is Heisenberg would be the biggest plot twist in TV history.
Lolll idk because the viewer would know it was him right away 😂😂 not much of a twist
@@elleelleelleelle_______ Not sure. From Hanks perspective he was just a side character. A friend.
There would be theories that its Walt. But there was not much for most ppl to think its hím.
Stolen mask, the 500k joke. Car crash, and the help with Gale notes.
1 each season.
@@gergokiss2086 I mean these clues are really huge
And when you think about, a genius chemist criminal coming up just when the genius chemist brother-in-law got lung cancer is such a huge telltale sign. People would figure out the twist by episode 1
@@gergokiss2086how about all the money that the White’s suddenly came across (from gambling)?
That’s what the 2 detectives/cops were saying to Jesse in “Blood Money” after Jesse got caught throwing $5 million from his car.
They were asking Jesse how he came across all that money- then said “Did you get lucky at the casino?”.
Which of course was Walt’s story, lol
It would make for a substantially worse show.
The problem for Hank was that he was looking for Heisenberg a badass ruthless killer meth cook. His picture of Heisenberg wasn't his pathetic, poor, high school teacher brother-in-law. He thought someone more like Tuco. Even if at any point he thought Walt was Heisenberg he just didn't think someone like Walt was capable.
You literally repeated what others have already written
At the end of the 4th season/start of 5th season Hank's opinion on who Heisenberg is has changed. Hank believes the man to be a sophisticated cook. Not some burn out with a "Born to lose" tattoo.
@@nero48 well after I read the same comment 2-3x, I figured the 4th person must’ve read the other comments already, lol
@@chriso5193 yeah but they explained it in their own way just like a few others
some say that hank sees walt as a wimp, or that hank has an ego. this one calls attention to hank's own (admittedly understandable) notion that heisenberg HAD to be someone who was already a kickass hardened criminal and not a bumbling civilian slowly getting better at killing like walt
@@nero48and you picked his comment to say that 😂
“Hank I am Heisenberg and I sell meth”.
“Lol”
He did say "you got me" in that willy wonka scene
Reminds me of Hannibal where he would say essentially, "I'm a cannibalistic serial killer," and everyone would just laugh it off as a joke
'meth & meth accessories'
@@rahulverma8774 Tried to sneak a little sarcasm in there when he said that but was certainly nervous like hank had him figured out right there 😭
@@TheFrenchPatriotYTP True, if most people hear this, they would think he's a weird guy telling sick jokes. Nobody would take it seriously.
Hank actually knew since episode 1, when Walt said “Hank, I’m breaking bad” and Hank responded “better call Saul”
actually, you're very wrong. hank actually knew even before the series was released. while filming on set, walt told hank "its time to break bad" and badded all over the place
@@floof6896You're very wrong actually, never comment again if possible.

Hank wasnt too trusting, he was too proud to even consider walt as a criminal kingpin. In their relationship, hank sees himself as this macho, made man, and walt is this kinda pathetic wimp, at least in hanks eyes. Hank treats him like a little brother, he cares about walt, but he sees him as an almost stunted man that hank leaves himself to take care of, while teasing and making fun of him. This view of walt is entirely counterintuitive to the real design of heisenberg in Hanks imagination.
Good point there, he doesn’t just love and trust him but he sees him as a lower man incapable of these achievements. Which explains some of the reason for Walt’s drunken rant. He wanted to be given some respect for his real identity.
Hank is one of the reason why Walt really broke bad. Walt was viewed as nothing more than that, a weak-looking man that was just an overqualified at his job. A part of Walt wanted to get caught by Hank just to show him that he isn't some pushover to make jokes about.
Great point. Hadn't realized that played that much of a role throughout the series, but the first couple of episodes, specially the pilot and some other early events like the "Walter Jr smoking weed" really foreshadowed this blinded view that slowly faded later in the series.
Your pfp...
@@crushr8187 What about it?
Hank was biased towards Walt because they were family, and he had a preconceived image of Walt being harmless.
A detective with the same skill level as Hank but neutral towards Walt would have made him the prime suspect during the investigation of the missing school equipment.
I think it was most personified in their attitudes towards life-altering situations. Walt was willing to go to extreme lengths to secure his family's future. Hank could do nothing but wallow in self-pity under the prospect of losing his ability to walk.
Walt went to extreme lengths to wield power. Securing his family's future was the lie he told himself until he was finally brave enough to admit what he was really doing in the very last episode in his talk with Skylar.
HaNk was lowkey jealous of Walt that he even tried to takeover parenting duties as Walt jr real dad, and Jesse was Walt’s real son
@@bigmike3007he took over because Walt was a horrible dad. He genuinely cares, unlike Walt, who's too big of a narcissist to show love without control
this makes more sense than hank thinking that walt wouldnt be capable of doing all that i think
There’s also a general connection of dots that never happens - a bald chemistry teacher who used masks from JP Wynne chemistry lab suddenly generates hundreds of thousands in wealth from a “gambling addiction”, possesses a “second cell phone” as Skyler told him and disappeared for several months for cases such as fugue state and various trips out of town. This is why maybe it wasn’t just ideal entertainment but ideal plot line to have the villain be a familial relation - because his denial was so extreme when logic stared in the face, and he wouldn’t give that sort of leniency to anyone except family.
Yeah that's the other thing besides denial; family. I bet there's a lot of cops who would also feel the same as Hank when it comes to family
I have two phones but I don’t have millions of dollars :(
It wasnt several months it was a few days
@@KamilaBetancur "such as fugue state AND various trips out of town"
he meant over the course of few months
Anita Max Wynne 💅🥺
for the very first clue with the respirator, hank asked if walt recognized it. walt said no, but if u think about it he really should have said "yes its chemistry class equipment". too bad hank missed that too
true🤔
Pretty sure Hank means do you recognise this specific one that is different to the rest because it has seen heavy use and with traces of meth on it? Just a hunch tho idk
@@Oscar-yk6ww Respirators don't look used. The only thing that should have visible traces of use on them is the chemical filter, which you'd actually have to take apart and inspect.
@@smalltime0 scratches and fading? Idk about you but items made of plastic and glass have very clear wear and tear in my experience
It was lying in the desert remember 😂
It wasn't the fact that Hank thought Walter was a good guy, it was because he thought down of Walter, that he was weak and would never have the courage to pull something like that off.
He at least always admired his intellect though.
He definitely thought Walt was a good guy
Why not both
no, it was both.
I don't think so at all. It's obvious Hank despised meth users and dealers, seeing them as the lowest form of humanity. Those are the people he looked down on.
Can't believe Hank missed all these clues. I found out Walt is heisenberg right from the episode 1
@@nero48the whole joke went over your head buddy
@@nero48”um actually, he wasn’t heisenberg until he met tuco in episode 6” 🤓☝🏻
I'm actually, according to my previous experiences on this website or app, depending on how you use it, it is entirely possible that he would have known Walter Hartwell White, from the hit show Breaking Bad was Heisenberg, Walters fake name for when he was synthesizing the schedule II controlled drug known commonly as methamphetamine. This is due to the fact that many popular culture references allude to the fact that Walter Hartwell White is, indeed, Heisenberg. This is because if the original commenter had seen the memes before watching breaking bad he would have known.
@bigdaveo397 no you didn't but alright since you wouldn't even know what heissenburg was or ment
Yeah, Hank just had to watch the very first episode to know the truth
A lot of this is just convenience for the writers, but I do think Hank always viewed Walt as a weak man who had smarts but no balls. Hank's really deep in his own personal macho fantasy. And the irony is that Walter thrives on dangerous situations whereas Hank is crippled with PTSD by them.
hank thought that even if Walt has the brain for the operation, he didn't have the balls to go for it.
E
Quite true.
Do you really get the sense that Hank viewed dealing meth as "ballsy"? I didn't at all. He had no respect for meth dealers.
@@chasethomas9238No, Hank wouldn't view it that way. But I mean in general, he thought Walt was soft, which, for all his extensive flaws, he clearly isn't.
bro def wrote the script for this video with chat gpt i hear it
Oh thank god I thought it was just me. The repeated identical paragraph endings have GPT written all over them. :P
Lazy mofos
Yeah when he said Hank catching Heisenberg when he shot Tuco would have taken the series in a different direction I clued into that too

@@AkiraHartono good idea, GPTzero says 78% certainty of AI use 💀
@@beanconscripthow
Even Light Yagami's dad was suspicious of his son when L told him about it. Hank's ego thinking his nerdy brother in-law could never be involved in the drug sphere was his ultimate flaw.
It's because Hank underestimated Walt. He always saw Walter as a spineless nerd. You don't have to be the world's greatest detective to piece together all the evidence Hank had early on. A new cook takes over the drug market shortly after his overqualified chemistry teacher of a brother-in-law gets diagnosed with lung cancer and, therefore, in desperate need to make money to afford treatment or at least to provide for his family. He had motive, skills, and timing. The missing chemistry supplies would've been enough to make him a suspect.
Glad I'm not the only one who thought Breaking Bad and Death Note have some interesting similarities in the narrative and character development
@@cnordmann13Less than you’d think but both of them have villains as main characters.
wasnt he like "NOOO MY SON ISNT KIRA HE COULD NEVER BE!!!" which ended up being a huge detriment to L's whole investigation since he pretty much knew the whole time but had no concrete evidence
Haha weeaboo
I've always thought that if Hank could watch the show back, he would be so upset with himself for missing so many signs
I'm sure Hank rewatched the show every day in his mind.
In the moment where Walt told hank about the cash in the bag, I feel like it was almost like a last attempt from Walt at wanting to get caught. He wanted Hank to catch him and put and end to it while simultaneously verifying his actions by not getting caught.
It was probably more Walt stroking his ego because he knows Hank so well he knows Hank would take it as a joke.
@@getthegoons or.... Walk knew he could bluff Hank after he did so
in the poker game.
You’re right. Walt had just been kicked out of the house by Skylar after she had (partially) unraveled his web of lies, he was feeling extremely low and regretful at that point. I think he was genuinely just throwing caution to the wind at that point, but when Hank didn’t check, he went with it.
Nah, Walt is good at manipulating people, this was a lie. Because he said it sarcastically... Paul Ekman described similar lies like this: if a husband suspects his wife of cheating, and he confronts her directly, she can answer "oh yeah, I jump on every street pole, of course", exaggerating it to the point that the truth sounds absurd enough to pass for a mockery. Walt used a very similar lie to Skyler, saying he didn't cheat on her: which was _technically the truth,_ but it made her accustation look ridiculous. She was just smarter than Hank so didn't fall for it and insisted on truth.
What always made me chuckle about Breaking Bad was that Gus went through all of that trouble to build this super-lab under ground at the Laundry. But he didn't bother to build a garage to where his chief chemist(s) could park in private. Seems like he would have some sort of secure parking area for management, supervisors, and meth cooks.
true
Maybe because he wanted outsiders to think that Walt was just another regular employee..
111¹¹¹¹111@@ankh5587
His biggest flaw - too trusting 😢
I really do find it amazing he didn't suspect a thing when he originally found the first masks missing from Walt's class
When you look back on it, though, that scene actually does a great job showing us just how little Hank thought of Walt at the time. Like if it were any other DEA agent, I think Walt would wind up on the list of suspects pretty much immediately. However, because it's Hank specifically, Hank sees Walt through the lens of him just being a quiet, whiny pushover, to the point where it's not even in the realm of possibility that Walt could be involved with something like cooking meth. You could make the argument that that's still on Hank for not being able to think objectively about the situation, but I think it's excusable when you think about how long he's known Walt and how mouse-y Walt has been throughout their entire relationship. People don't usually pull entire 180s the way he did.
He just straight up underestimated the guy. But literally everyone else did. It was Skyler that was on him from the jump.
Then again you have to think the kind of man people saw him as Hank saw him as a shy good smart man and wouldn't even think of him doing a single crime in his life and why would Walt want to steal them? thats why hank didnt give it a second thought or even suspected him of being it.
I would argue that is not trust, but rather his ego
You see it in the real world too, the always polite kinda goofy dude getting caught decades later because neighbours just cant imagine someone like that hurting a fly
a famous example of walt's kind of reckless style of avoiding suspicion was a few years ago when a kinda nerdy looking dude who almost broke out in tears during a newsreport about his murdered classmate later turned out to be the murderer
1:20 Not trusting Walt's Goodness, but Hank just thought Walt didn't have balls/guts in him to do something like this.

Breaking bad has one of the best cases of the “Clark Kent” effect
😮
its interesting to me that at the beginning of Walter's career as Heisenberg he betrayed his partner and designer of the lab and got him killed but Gale ended up being the one to end his career, even after death.
from Hell's heart I stab at thee.
Thats what we call poetical justice. Gale was innocent, and if not him, Walter wouldnt ever get this job.
On a serious note though, when you’re in law enforcement, you can’t go around looking at everyone as a suspect.
There are always clues and odd behavior, but if there isnt hard evidence of a crime, you can’t label someone as a suspect. Our constitution does protect us from such things.
You’ll notice how Hanks boss get mad at him for ‘going off the books’ so to speak. It’s not because his boss is lazy, it’s because he doesn’t want another lawsuit.
At the end of the day, their never was any real evidence for Hank to be suspicious
school supplies but they pinned it on the janitor. The involvement of Jesse which he "knew" sold Walt weed
No, actually "innocent until proven guilty" does not, in fact, protect anyone from being a _suspect,_ and cops can actually consider everyone a suspect, even more so in detective shows, where everyone ACTUALLY has a motive and often means too.

@@erigor11 I haven't heard that word in ages took me back to 2014-15 gaming
It quite literally costed Hank his life for not finding out about Walter earlier
This is the exact moment a rock became a mineral
Breaking Bad is one of those shows that you have to watch all the episodes more than once.
When I first saw the earth shattering scene where Hank is on the toilet at Walter White’s home and flipping through Leaves Of Grass and sees familiar handwriting on one of the first pages dedicating the book as a gift to his co-worker, W.W., the episode immediately jumps to a scene in the past where Hank is asking Walter who W.W. might be and Walter laughing, holding his hands up and saying, “You got me.” I thought this was the first time we’d ever seen this conversation, like it was inserted into the episode as an afterthought, but I was completely wrong. Not only did I have to watch the episodes of the show again, I realized after yet an additional viewing of the show was the whole subplot involving Marie’s stealing items from people’s homes at realtor showings was the direct link to Hank finding out more information about Gale Boetticher. Hank was sidelined after being attacked by the Salamanca Twins and was no longer working in an official position as a DEA agent. So when Marie got busted for stealing, but was allowed to go because the homeowner didn’t press charges, a local APD detective brought Marie home and decided to ask Hank for his help in investigating the recent murder of Gale Boetticher, and so the police detective later brought evidence he collected from Gale’s apartment so Hank could look at it while recovering in bed at his home. If that hadn’t happened, Hank may have never seen Gale’s handwriting, or the initials W.W. for that matter.
How do you forget that lmao
Have you forgotten your dementia pills?
@@MrQuest0 No, I don’t take dementia pills. I don’t like forgetting important details when I took them, so I quit.
Well the problem js if u do my second watch i hated walt so much from beginning too end and u feel bad for some characters like jesse or hank
how did you forget? you ain’t a real BB fan
I think Walt's desire to prove himself to Hank was one of his main motivations. He always says it's about "the chemistry" or "providing for his family" but he could have done both if he'd just taken the job at Gray Matter. The problem is, that job wouldn't have helped as much in his brotherly (or brother in lawly, technically) rivalry with Hank. The funny thing is this means if Hank hadn't disrespected and underestimated Walt so much from the beginning, he might never have become Heisenberg in the first place.
Thats very true, however, the reason he didn't want to get the job with grey matter the first place is because of his pride and he felt like he was owed billions from them and rightfully so. Also he actually considered the job with Elliot he only said "he had personal issues" but it wasn't until he mentioned health insurance and he flat out denied his offer, he felt like he was offered out of charity rather then his own skills in the job.
I think a lot of people overlook Hanks treatment toward Walt during the 1st season of the show. Walt is treated like a weak man or a child and completely disrespected by Hank. It doesn't justify Walts actions but let's not forget how much if a dick Hank was.
yeah this is written by ChatGPT
bro needs to learn prompt engineering
Lol
Hank did NOT go to Walt's school chemistry lab in the pilot!🤣 It was several episodes after. I can't remember which one off the top of my head but it wasn't the pilot, I'm pretty sure it was on an episode 3-6
it’s a small mistake, but yeah it’s on s1ep6
While this is true it doesn't mean it's not stupid
And worse the poor janitor took the fall for the equipment theft.
there are so many things wrong with this video lmao
@@joshkeller2671 how is it stupid to point out misinformation?
For me it's astounding that he didn't suspect Walt in season 1. Instead he suspected some janitor, and as I understand it - jailed him without solid proof.
i think its because the janitor had weed on him or smth and had been a dealer in the past
He wasn't jailed for being Heisenberg, they found weed on him while investigating and so he was jailed for that. There was no hard proof of the masks, but the felony possession was enough in Hank's mind.
@@obligatoryusername7239 I agree with you, it seems likely, but I'll add small correction: Heisenberg figure haven't been invented yet :D But yeah - besides that it is most likely what happened.
The more times I watch this series, the more I think it revolves around the fact that Hank, as good as he is in the DEA at catching criminals, cant see that Walt is Heisenberg. Walt is that good at hiding in plain sight.
Id argue that Walt sucked at hiding in plain site. Skyler knew something was obviously up since the start. Hank Just had very little respect for Walt
@@elleelleelleelle_______ Hank’s not good at his job then and toxic masculinity makes him a lesser man
@@elleelleelleelle_______well Skyler spent quite a bit more time around Walt. Of course she’d know something is up sooner.
I think that it was quite realistic. He didn't have unwavering trust, nor thought that he was a lesser man than what it takes to be Heisenberg, but he initially didn't want it to be true because he liked him and then the more clues he missed the harder the fall was and thus he stayed in denial for too long...
So why did Walter, who always worried about covering tracks in every detail, left a book signed in handwriting by a dead cook under investigation IN HIS GUEST BATHROOM?
according to Vince Gilligan, he got cocky. he got too comfortable thinking that now that he was out of the business, he wouldn't get caught
That's wasn't his one mistake. He made a whole bunch of mistakes and slip ups, heck this video is basically all about the times Walter pretty much gave away his identity. It was just the one that Hank finally caught.
While I generally agree, there are three issues.
Exibit B: Any actual distinctive features were covered up by his outfit. He would have had height and build and maybe glasses. Thats doesn't really help identifying Walt as it is too broad of a field.
Exibit D: He had no reason to know that Walt was at Tuco's place.
Exibit E: Again, he had no way to know that Walt was in the RV.
Even if you count B as a usable clue later, as you point out, his presence at the other two scenes would only be a missed clue if he had some reason to know or suspect Walt was there.
But there are also some additional clues or at least really suspicious details that weren't mentioned in the video. Like Walter having a second phone? Getting missed because of a "fugue" state that never repeated afterwards? Suddenly revealing he has a gambling addiction and immediately buying a car wash? Skyler trying to leave Walter, giving her kids away to Hank and Marie because she thinks her and Walter are bad parents? I mean, your brother in law gets cancer and his wife suddenly tries to leave him, acts depressed, doesn't want the children anymore in her house, then suddenly they seem to have a lot of money and start a business? I personally think these are even bigger tells than the clues mentioned in the video. These might not imply that Walter is Heisenberg, but they definitely imply that something fishy is going on with Walter, and Hank didn't even look into that
Hank, in Walt's science class: Walter, it's you! You're the Heisenberg!
That's him officer, he's the cardiac

So what? do something about it then
@@coldclearktwhat AI would you even use for scripts this detailed? Unless I’m severely underrating ChatGPT, I doubt its doing something like this.
Personally I think that hank just needed 3 more minerals for his collection to gain max psychic ability to have figured walt out earlier on but he didn't explore and loot new Mexico enough to achieve that
Walt really should have thrown Hank off the scent over that missing lab equipment, by framing some student he didn't much like. That would have added up in Hank's mind, and I could see Walt justifying it as a way to scare the kid straight.
Hank would find out that walt was lying about the kid eventually, then walt would be in hot water. Also early walt didn't have it in him to do that.
@@Chickenz663I could see Walt not having it in him. Although the framing could have been as simple as, Walt could tell Hank that he caught the kid in the store room once; the sort of lie there would be no way to disprove.
i've always been bothered by the fact that hank just neglected to pursue the missing lab equipment even after he realized hugo had nothing to do with it.
Blaming someone else would eventually be found to be false and he would turn into the number one suspect. Walter, as a family member, friend of the DEA, respected teacher, phd, and someone with a clean record for the entirety of his live would be very far from a suspect, as he was...
@@ianlongo9037 Not sure how they would prove Walt was lying if he said, "you know, I saw Jerry Bingham in the store room the other week; he didn't have a good answer why he was in there. I really don't want to falsely accuse anyone, but ... I don't know, he doesn't seem like that bad of a kid, it's probably nothing."
Walter was not a mastermind, as he let his emotions (i.e ego, care for Jesse etc) cloud his judgement. And I don’t believe that Hank’s trust in Walt was what kept him. He was looking for a mastermind of a criminal, cold blooded killer and Walter simply did not fit the criteria because of how boring and pathetic his life had been up until the start of the show.
Another missed opportunity was his name, Walter White. If Hank had watched the TV show Breaking Bad, he would have known Walter White is the real name of Heisenberg.
"Exhibit D" 2:56 where's the clue that Hank missed? All you did was explain what happened in the scene, then state that the series would have gone differently if Hank hadn't saved Walt and Jesse.
I was thinking about Jesse’s car being there. Could probably have made that a bit more clear.
0:29 That's Mike in the other car isn't it?
it is👍
In the first clue, I personally think when hank asked walt if he ‘recognised’ the respirator to which walt said no was more of a giveaway, because walt not recognising something out of his own lab is a bit more suspicious than his reaction to hanks joke.
I think that cancer issue did not help Hank, it certainly depicted Walt as vulnerable and lacking ambition.
This feels AI generated
i know right? it sounds like something written by chatGPT
cause it fucking is no one talks like this
Hank held Walt in contempt.
He was not seeing Heisenberg, because he saw Walt as a worm, not a man.
Hank missed all the signs simply because he really didn't think much of Walt!

@@emreguney8912He was talking about Hank, not Walter. Did you even read the comment
I think the part fans forget is how often people’s friends are shocked when it turns out they were criminals. Like John Wayne Gacey. Your first assumption is not going to be that someone you trust and seems like a good person is secretly a monster
Hank knew the whole time. He's the one who was threatening Walt to make meth to run his drug empire. Walt admitted this himself when he and Skylar made their video confession. Many viewers must have missed this.
It’s also worth remembering that Hank was really the only one in the DEA that kept pursuing the Heisenberg case. Like yeah he definitely flopped for a long time at realizing it was Walter but so did his whole team and they pretty much gave up while he still made moves even when he wasn’t able to work. It’s actually kind of wild that the lab equipment that was traced back to Walt’s school in the beginning of the show wasn’t looked at as a paramount factor in the Heisenberg case by the entire DEA. I feel like if Hank literally just had ONE person as passionate about the case as he was they would have opened up his eyes to the possibility that they need to look at Walter but to have that epiphany yourself about someone you think you know is not easy
There’s no way AI didn’t write this video
The only real clue hank missed?
was the fact that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
Breaking Fast

Thanks ChatGPT
very cool
the script for this video is written like a kid stretching out the wording in a school essay
You also forget that Walter matches exactly every description they probably have of Heisenberg (the ginger goatee, and probably his height, skin color, bald, etc..)
This is 100% written by chat GPT LOL
Holy shit your right
Damn, shit like this is gonna make WatchMojo's job even easier.
In the scene where Hank shows Walt the notes and he makes the Willy Wonka joke you can see the true sociopathic nature of Heisenberg popping up as if he instantly switched personalities in a second.
Bravo, Vince.
Well when your brother in law has been afraid of everything his whole life and has been a mediocre man, you can’t see that they would be capable of any wrong doing. That’s why Hank dismissed all these clues. In his mind, it would be impossible for Walt to hurt a fly because of the man he’s been. You’d never suspect your own family.
I don't think he so much as missed them but was willing to overlook them giving his in law the benefit of the doubt. You don't want to accuse someone who has cancer of being a drug dealer and meth cook unless you are extremely sure.
Exhibit G: Had he had backup when he visited the junkyard, they could have secured the RV and gotten a warrant, opened the door, and “oh, hi Walt”.
Steve Gomez:🙋♂️
Walt:🤦♂️
Hehey Walt! The hell are you doing here? Trying to score some more grass? Hehehehe. Just kidding, Walt. Wait in my car and let me deal with this. Alright? *Wink*
I just find it crazy that the sketch of Heisenberg looks exactly like Walt with glasses and a hat it’s like not knowing Clark Clint is superman.
"had hank found out the show would have taken a vastly different turn" duh??
I don’t think he trusted Walt, but rather he thought Walter was lame.
the fact that you keep saying "This shows how good walter white was good at diverting the close calls and such and etc." repeatedly is making you sound like a chain of Chat-GPT responses
The one with the car where he literally crashed on purpose is the most outrageous to me
Sounds like you wrote your whole script using chatGPT
I bet they did.
Hey, ChatGPT, please write a video essay about Hank Schrader almost catching Walter White
It wasn't that Hank overestimated Walt's goodness. He underestimated Walt's manliness from the very beginning. I'm sure he considered that Walt could have been Heisenberg, before dismissing that he would be able to do any of it.
How was he supposed to recognize him on the security video?
Body language, size, shape, attitude in actions, try to analyze the bodily movements of the people you know.
Thermite. Only chemist would use this chemical reaction to steal something
Nah I agree, definitely understandable he didn’t know that was Walt
He couldn't, but its almost undeniable once you do know
@@echothesilent4693you can't be sure 100% by just the body
WW, who could that be?
Willy Wonka?
Will Williamson?
Wangdang Wufflehous?
I guess we’ll never know.
Imagine they kept speculating on what ww stood for the rest of the night
Wendy Williams
“Alternate Cuts-WW But Hank Keeps Guessing”
I can’t believe “Walt’s ability to manipulate circumstances”
this feels like its written by chat gpt
and the narrator clearly never watched the show
"Whats in the bag?"
"Half a million cash"

I love that this show still has such a strong fanbase years later 😂 made me get into it from all the praise and finally finished it just a bit ago. Definitely does not disappoint, what an ending!
At least he could distinguish a mineral from a mere stone.
Script is written by AI, I can feel it.
The voice too tbh
If Hank wasn’t the main detective on the Heisenberg case, Walt would have been in jail within the first 5 episodes
He didn't miss them, they just didn't register with Hank at the time. You don't see what you don't want to believe. Ultimately they all added up to the realisation he had in the bathroom scene. It wasn't just the book.
It's funny because Walt didn't even try to hide it a lot but still succeeded.

Exactly. It comes off as very clean and sophisticated, yet doesn't really say anything at all. Some of the points don't even make sense. It all just sounds way too general
Heard “Walt’s goodness” so much that I thought I heard Walt Goodman
Hank really should have been able to tell Walt was hiding something when he went into the school, most officers are trained in body language, especially DEA agents, and with Walt giving off every signal of guilt. The only thing I can come up with is hanks love for Walt overpowered his detective abilities, shows you how much Hank and Walt loved and trusted each other,
lowkey thought Hank would just shrug off seeing the writing in Walt Whitman's book too XD
7:13 more over this scene demonstrated Walt's huge ego. He'd rather have Hank find out about his secret, than Gale take credit for his work.
You forgot season 4 episode 20 where Hank called Walt a sussy baka and Walt responded "no im breaking bad"
This video is like, "You know that thing you watched? Yeah, that's exactly what happened." Thanks for pointing out the obvious! 😅
I feel like it was written by chat gpt
I feel dumb watching this, I had to watch all of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul and only just figured out that Walt was Heisenberg, I thought he was a public representative.
We’re lucky Hank took so long to find out. Had he found out earlier it would probably have ended the series then and there.
Thats the whole point. Its all a show
We really didn’t need the entire narration, original video clips would’ve done enough justice.
Chatgpt ahh narration
Hank: "I wanna be the one to slap the handcuffs on him, you know, that kinda shit. Popeye Doyle waving to Frog One."
Walt: "If I recall, at least from the first French Connection, Popeye Doyle never actually caught him."
Hank: "Yeah, I guess me and ol' Popeye, huh? Day late and a dollar short."
I always thought that it was stupid he knew Heisenberg was a really smart guy that knows a lot of Chemistry but he couldn’t remember that he questioned his really smart brother over stolen equipment on his CHEMISTRY lab used by Heisenberg and was sus about it
How can you say he ultimately failed? He ultimately figured it out, now he did get killed but ultimately he succeeded.
This video sounds so grossly AI-generated lmao. Am I the only one who feels this way? Surely anyone else hears how weirdly unnatural both the script and the voice reading it sound?
yep i defo can hear this. it sounds written properly but i guess audio quality may have been an issue? good vid tho 🤞🏼
