Different Somehow
Episode 1x14, Special - Flashback 6Michael answers the door. The man introduces himself as Brian. "Susan's Brian?" Michael asks.
"Can I come in? I need to talk to you," Brian says. Michael lets him in and asks if Susan knows he is here. "Susan died yesterday," he tells Michael. She had a blood disorder and was only sick for a week before she died.
Michael is flustered and asks about Walt. He is upset that Brian left Walt the day after his mother died. Brian explains that he never wanted to be a father and he adopted Walt for Susan.
Michael points out that Walt doesn't know him and that he hasn't seem him for nine years. He thinks that Walt needs Brian during this trying time.
Brian says he is too upset over Susan and he can't take care of Walt. He gives Michael two plane tickets and money for traveling and tells him to come get Walt. Michael gets upset and throws him out. As he's leaving, Brain says, "There's something about him. Sometimes when he's around, things happen. He's different somehow."
Wooden Box
Episode 1x14, Special - Flashback 7Michael is in the home of Brian in Australia. A nanny says that Walt will be home from school any minute. She gives Michael some of Susan's stuff and then says, "There's something else." She gives him a wooden box. Michael asks what it is and she says, "Something I think Walt should have," and she turns and walks away.
Michael opens the box to find all the letters he'd sent to Walt over the years. Vincent barks and the nanny tells Walt there is someone here to see him. Michael looks terrified as he walks down the hallway.
Brian's Dog
Episode 1x14, Special - Flashback 8He goes outside to find Walt playing with Vincent by the pool. Walt asks who he is and Michael says he's Walt's father and he's going to take care of him now. Walt says he's not going, but Michael says it's not up to Walt.
Michael lies to Walt, telling him that Brian is not going to disappear from his life. "He'll still call you, write you, come to see you whenever he can." Michael tells Walt he can bring his dog, and Walt says it's Brian's dog. With a glint in his eye, Michael says, "Brian said you could have him."
Take Care of Walt
Episode 1x24, Exodus Part 2Flashback Scene 1Michael and Walt sit in the airport. Walt plays a hand held video game. Michael asks if he wants something to eat, but Walt doesn't answer. He wonders if Walt is worried about Vincent, but again, Walt doesn't answer.
Michael says he has to call work and goes over to the pay phone. Into the phone he says, "No, I live in a studio apartment. I've got to be out the door in the morning for work at 5 a.m. Who's going to watch him? How's he going to get to school? What's he going to do after school?
"I can't do this, Ma. You know, I was - listen, I was thinking - I was thinking maybe you could take him. Look, Ma, if it's a question of money." Locke goes by in his wheelchair.
"What am I supposed to do with him? He's not supposed to be mine. That was never part of the plan. Yeah, I - thanks a lot." He hangs up and turns around to discover Walt standing there. "Hey, man, I was, uh-"
"I need new batteries," Walt says.
