[Walter's pretty stunned by this, though it's not really easy to hear in the remaining moments on the feed. He says to himself:]

[Man, he doesn't know what to do with this. He wants to throw Malcolm's pathetic reaction to Annie's arrival in his face so bad, but it feels like Malcolm is getting too close to the truth of Walter's thoughts, and those get darker every day. Besides, he's also conveniently ignored the reminder that his then-inmate then-boyfriend didn't end up with his serial killer counterpart in Zero. Positive or negative, Malcolm always focuses on whatever he needs to hear.]
you're the one who said you have to be out and about protecting people, and though I pride myself on creativity I don't know what else that could have possibly meant. Whatever!
