Hank is not chatting like a family member anymore, he is chatting like a cop trying to get you on their side.

[imjinrat]

Smart move Sky! Whenever a cop tells you you don't need a lawyer, get a lawyer.

[brotherjosh]

Skylar gets a ton of hate, but Anna Gunn just absolutely nailed these emotional scenes.

[JohnSmith-bnmi]

1:27 All she's hearing is "I'm doing this for my family."
And that's a lie she's heard a thousand times.

[rud]

Wow, Hank is really going through the whole script. Everything he says is police interrogation speech verbatim.

[roxanne]

"I think i need a lawyer"
"No you don't"
When someone tells you you don't need a lawyer that's the exact moment you need one

I understand Hank’s desperation, but his lack of tact in this scene truly alienated Skyler. He wasn’t interested in her well being just getting Heisenberg. If he handled it differently perhaps this would have gone down differently.

[toptenguy]

The sequel to "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UUPP!!" lol

[rgkong]

I love the parallels between Hank and Walt, their desperation and obsession is what ultimately brought them down.

[lorderik]

Hank was being too hasty here. If he had actually talked to Skyler like family instead of treating her like some sort of means to an end, she would've been far more likely to give Hank the information he needed.

[cameronhirtle]

People talk a lot of sh*t on Skylar's character. But she literally saved Walt and herself and entire operation by not talking here. That would have buried her and everything.

[tarandril]

I never noticed how textbook this interrogation really is. When I first saw this I thought that Skyler was quite irrational for pushing for a lawyer so much... but now that I've binged all JCS - criminal psychology it's pretty obvious she is smarter than I was when I first watched the episode. That's credit to the writers and the people who developed interrogation tactics. They really make you believe that they want to help you.

1. Rule with cops, they don’t make laws or deals, they enforce laws. They can arrest you and submit charges, but the DA decides everything else, you don’t make deals with cops.

[WitchHunter]

Skyler is a professional at throwing emotional fits as a defense.

[marilynmanord]

Hank has NO ABILITY to control the situation! Cops can’t offer you anything. District Attorneys make the offer. Good for you Skyler! Brilliant writing! The perfect show!

[VivekKumar-qony]

Cant appreciate enough how brilliant all the actors were in BB..

[banzaiboy]

Hank was well-meaning here but his obsession with the Heisenberg really got ahead of his common sense/decency. If Skyler confessed her end of it here, she absolutely would have ended up in chains.

[justt]

She had walt lie to her 1000 times. She knows a lie when he says "believe me I have your best self interest"

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

I personally found Hank's desperation VERY funny.

It's all sand falling through his hands this whole season.

[drewcliff]

Rule of thumb, you always need a lawyer no matter your level of guilt or innocence.
