My guess is if the show flashed forward you'd see them throwing all of Walt's cash into their fireplace and burning it to avoid any implication of their handling illegal money... then cutting a check for 8 Million to Jr out of their petty cash accounts and considering the matter 'done' - especially when they read in the paper that Walt is now dead.  |
The money part didn't bother me, it's the two idiots standing outside with laser pens pretending to be hitmen that seemed beyond ridiculous. I guess all you need to scare someone is a red light. It's amazing how dumb many parts of this show people consider brilliant writing.
