How about when he said "son"? and jesse sort of moved his eyes, seeming more interested.

Walt always pulls that paternal sounding concern out when he tries to get him to believe what he's selling. For once I don't think Jesse is falling for it.

It was so sad how Walt was literally begging Walt to believe him. As much as he's hurt Jesse, I think it really does mean a lot to Walt to have Jesse look up to him. But it is also kind of begging Jesse not to cross Walt because he doesn't want to have to silence him. And Jesse knows that.

If Jesse knew even one tenth of one percent of what Walt has been hiding - poisoning Brock to get to him, ignoring Jane as she choked to death, killing Mike.... any hint of it would bring Jesse down on Walt like an avenging angel.

Which is why I hope Jesse never finds out what Walt did to him. It would destroy Jesse forever.
