You knew it was going to happen after Walt hung up, but still pretty intense waiting for it.

A few nitpicks:

I don't really buy Walt falling for that money trap like he did, but whatever. I also don't get why you roll the credits at that point. Why not roll the credits before a single shot is fired? It achieves the same effect without pissing me off as much. There's no way Hank and Gomez survive that initial barrage unscathed.

I'm guessing they both get killed and Jesse probably escapes in Walt's car. That phone call with Marie felt awfully ominous.

This was like the confession video to me. Very riveting while it was going on, doesn't make much sense in hindsight.

I can see them showing up to protect their future meth cook, but why were they shooting at the truck while he was inside it? It also seemed to me like with the phone call, Hank already had the goods on Walt without having to go find him in the desert. Just find Skyler, play the recording for her, and wait for him to show up.

EDIT - Nm, the first part makes sense now. I see what they're up to.

i dont know, i think it kind of makes sense. im sure hank would be worried that walt would just disappear after realizing he just gave a confession over the phone. and hank wanted the satisfaction of putting the cuffs on walt and bringing him in, that also might be the only thing that would save his job.

I simply don't buy that supergenius train robbery Walt wouldn't find out if there was a GPS on the van. Accepting that premise I can sorta go with it, but that premise is absurd. The ONLY thing he cares about now is the money - not death, not jail. No chance in hell he leaves an obvious trail like that. He should've known immediately that Jesse was bluffing.

im fairly certain walt knew they would show up anyway and kill Hank (assuming that is what happens, judging by the phone call with marie). I can't see walt just giving himself up like that.

I can accept that premise considering that Jesse led with "proof" that he found the money. The thing that confuses me a bit is that it took Walt until Hank and Gomez get out of the SUV in order to put together that Jesse was working with them. Most likely it's because Walt was on tilt once he thought his money was in very serious danger, but that struck me as more unlikely than Walt accepting that he had missed some tracking mechanism on the van.
