The opening scene of 'Breaking Bad' Season 5, Episode 10 'Buried' is that of an old man finding the bundle of money that Jesse (Aaron Paul) threw out from his car window all across Albuquerque. Following the trail, the man spots Jesse on a roundabout. He is lying on it, lifelessly as it spins around. For Walt, Jesse has gone untraceable and unreachable. He wants Saul (Bob Odenkirk) to find Jesse out.
Walt is out of the garage and out in the open. He and Hank are now standing miles apart and the first person both try to contact is Skyler. It is Hank who gets to her first. He fixes a meeting with her before Walt could warn her about Hank knowing everything and what she should be telling him.
Hank believes that Skyler is an innocent party and that she was forced to keep the secret. He assures her that she need not fear Walt, the 'Monster', and she can move back to his house. He wants her to give a statement on the record and fill in the gaps. Also, Skyler comes to know via him that Walt's cancer has returned. She asks for a lawyer and refuses to give a statement against her husband.
Saul suggests that Walt send Hank out on a trip to Belize, the way he sent Mike. Walt may have destroyed lives but family is off-limits and Hank is still family. With the help of Saul's men, he gets his money in barrels and drives-off to bury them in the barren desert. He sticks the longitude and latitude details on the fridge.
Skyler tells Walt that she did not tell anything to Hank and asks him, whether his cancer has returned. Walt is too exhausted to reply and collapses on the bathroom floor. When he wakes-up 4 or 5 hours later, he tells Skyler that "this is it." He tells her that he will give-in but won't give-up the money. He asks her to keep the money and pass it on to the children, give them everything. He wants Skyler's promise.
Skyler tells him that Hank has his suspicion and nothing else. He cannot give-in without giving-up the money and staying quiet is the best move. Her sister Marie (Betsy Brandt) tells Hank "You've to get him." Marie had wanted to know from Skyler how long did she know, and whether she knew before Hank was shot. She wanted her to talk to Hank. But, the only words Skyler offered were "I'm so sorry."
Marie wants to take Walt and Skyler's daughter with her but is stopped by Skyler and Hank. She wants Hank to put the whole DEA on Walt. Hank fears that once he reveals that his brother-in-law is the Kingpin Hiesenberg that he has been chasing for so long, his career will be over. Also, he does not have solid evidence against Walt. The evidence presents itself in the form of Jesse. He is being interrogated for throwing out millions of money all across Albuquerque. Hank watches him and asks the interrogating officers to let him have a word with Jesse Pinkman.
Will Jesse come out of his stupor and speak-out against Walter White? The next episode of 'Breaking Bad' - 'Confessions' - would provide the answer.
