It is weird that Gus didn't have at least one person in the DEA on his payroll.

From what we've seen on the show, none of Mike's guys were cops and none of them were in the DEA in NM. Keep in mind Mike was bugging Hanks' office. If Mike was the one that had inside guys this story would be very different.Nah Gus is done. If they were going to do something like that, they would've done it in the first half of season 5...it's too late to bring up something like that. As for Gomez being ANYTHING more than a secondary character in these last 4 episodes, I doubt it. Just because you're on screen doesn't mean you have to have some major role in the plot. I'm pretty sure the "DEA leak" was nothing more than one of Mike's guys who worked in or around the DEA and served as his ears. He probably had no idea what was going on other than reporting to Mike any news.
just came in here to say jessie broke my heart last night.

when jesse gave his 'confession' last night, we only saw the first minute of it. as the audience, we don't know what information the full confession video contains.
We kinda do. Hank was talking to Gomie about it. Running over drug dealers, the pest company as a cover to cook meth, etc. Pretty much everything I think.when jesse gave his 'confession' last night, we only saw the first minute of it. as the audience, we don't know what information the full confession video contains.
as a synopsis. we don't know what the entirety of the confession contains.Hank and Gomie went over what Jesse told them on the balcony, which was basically everything from the RV to Drew Sharp.
Jessie
Jesse is Walt's apprentice, his best student, his legacy. When he first started working with him, Jesse was a stupid meth cook burnout named Captain Cook. Over time, he became the second best meth cook around and at times the only person in the world Walter could trust.
Though it wasn't the life he originally planned, Walter spent years as a teacher. Yeah, he was a husband and a dad, but sharing his knowledge of chemistry was his calling. Look at his various teaching moments throughout the show (with Tuco when Heisenberg was born, with Todd, even with Skylar or Lydia or Saul, etc). Jesse watched, thrilled, as Walter taught him the science of meth and as they became bigger criminals and as Walter developed into a meth kingpin.
With Walter's tutelage, Jesse truly did become a master cook in his own right. Jesse could replicate the 99%, while Todd only managed in the 70s, and even Gayle only managed 96% on his own before meeting Walter. When Jesse would have issues and risk dying/leaving, Walt stepped in, even if the risk to himself was minimal. Walter wanted Jesse to stay in the business much like a father wants his son to take up the family trade after he retires.
Jesse is the living record of Walt's transformation into Heisenberg, a testament to all the achievements, the danger, the sacrifice. He's been his best friend. He was there in the RV, which they reminisced about when Walter brought him the $5 mil. Together, they evaded crazy dealers, DEA agents, cartel assassins, and anyone else who came after them. He was his partner and student and friend. They literally killed for each other, and when he had to betray Jesse, when he used him, he did it as much because he needed to keep Jesse around/alive/on his side as he did it to save his own skin.
Yes, he always condescended a little and manipulated Jesse, but he also always made sure Jesse was okay. He worried about him. Whether just to preserve his own legacy or because he cared about him, it's hard to say. Think about it, though. Walter can't tell his own son about his day, but he can tell Jesse. Ultimately, Jesse is proof that Walter is a genius and not just some petty criminal, living witness to his rise and embodiment of his teaching.
tl;dr Jesse is Heisenberg's son.
