I understand all that but it does not answer the question. Why does a kingpin need his minion cook to pay his bills? It does not follow.

“I understand all that but it does not answer the question. Why does a kingpin need his minion cook to pay his bills? It does not follow.”

codependent, I guess. Lydia will die a hideous death, probably in front of her daughter; She is the mirror image of Walt but a female mirror and as pathological as he is. I think Hank is going to stew and explode. As for Saul, he will play both ends against the middle as lawyers often do.

I believe that Walt threw that little nugget of info in for a couple of reasons.

1. To show just how much control Hank had over Walt.

2. Adding a bit of actual fact to the confession would prevent Hank from being able to disavow the entire video. With that one verifiable fact any policing authority would have to wonder just what else of the confession was true.

It would have made it almost impossible for Hank to explain away the entire video.
