#walt wouldn't have gone so far if they had sent a different dea agent

[becomingpart2]

This is a very good scene because it’s easy to dimiss hank as being stupid and bad at his job but he’s actually doing a good job here, he’s very astute in his line of questioning and in observing the trail of evidences. He just... has an enormous blind spot because he cannot concieve walt doing anything remotely illegal. 

And it’s so funny bc walt is literally giving all the signs of someone who’s guilty as fuck. He’s very clearly nervous the entire time, he avoids eye contact at all costs, he very obviously lies about not recognizing equipment from his own lab and he doesn’t notice there are things missing until hank points out, then his reluctance to take the phonecall and more obvious lies. Not to metion the most obvious clue: he’s one of the few people who has the fucking key! That alone should be enough to make him at least one of the suspects (nevermind the whole chemistry aspect, which makes him suspect number one lol) and and yet nothing, all of that is not enough to ring alarm bells in hank’s head lol
