I remember at the beginning of this season's earlier episodes,Walt's Pontiac
Aztec was shown with it's windows shot out.Then there are those white sheet-covered bodies.......yo.
Anyone think of using Aztecs for plinking?Yo.

More than one reason came into play. Walt does care about Jesse and knew that the girlfriend would eventually literally 'be the death of Jesse' and possibly end up blackmailing Walt just because she could. I think his tears were because he had to let a person die to get Jesse straight and alive. Walt's an ordinary man making extraordinary decisions.
