Throw him off his trail? This is the final season. That means finality. There is no amount of trail throwing off that is going to work this season. Hank IS going to find out Walt did it, and he IS going to close in on Walt and Walt IS going to have to make the decision he always ends up having to do: it's either him or me. And we know what he chooses in every single occasion this comes up. He outsmarts his opponent and kills him or something close to it.
He is already a psychopath. Only psychopaths attempt to murder innocent children, period. Let me tell you what else Walt did to try to 'protect himself.' He intentionally let a man who was ALREADY crippled due to the danger Walt put him in in the first place get into an accident for the sole purpose of avoiding Hanks ability to find the laundry mat. He could have died right there, for fucks sake, or been even more seriously injured.
The man. Does. not. Care. I don't know what fucking thing Walt is going to have to to drill this shit into your heads, because attempting to murder an innocent child CLEARLY wasn't enough to show you even with Vince Gilligan screaming the point from the top of all hills. He does not give a shit. If it is Walt vs. Hank, and it will be, Walt will do what it takes to kill him.
To say nothing of the fact that Walt had the chance to completely throw Hank off the trail. Remember? He let his ego get the best of him so that Hank kept investigating rather than let someone else take the credit for his formula. THAT is the type of monster Walt is. If he would have let Hank accept that it was Gale, his life wouldn't have been threatened by Gus that last time in the first place.
Once again, every choice Walt makes is monstrous. Walt is not going to throw Hank off the trail. He's going to maybe FUMBLE at the idea early on, but this final season is clearly playing for keeps. Hank is going to find out. Walt is going to realize it's him or Hank. Walt is going to do something that takes Hank out of the picture, and to me it's going to result in Hank's death.
He will come out on top, victorious, which would be an "awesome ending."
If I had to mold a person out of clay, and the only purpose this clay being I breathed life into would be to become the essence of misinterpreting a show's intent, it would likely be you.
