Video here, Interview portion in screenshots here. For my personal ease I'm adding some bit of headcanon on the information provided in the interview.
Episode 01 24:22 to 27:40
Description:
There's an armed bank robbery and people have been taken hostage. The situation is dire and complex, and no one seems to know how to act. No one but a bunch of school children, apparently, who infiltrate the bank and take care of the robbers in not-exactly-conventional ways.
The memory shows Five and his siblings as kids, and most importantly, showcases some of their powers. Allison has some sort of mind-controlling powers that are activated by saying "I heard a rumor", Luther has super strength, Diego seems to be able to throw knives really well???. Five shows his powers as well, and seems to be exactly as cocky and arrogant as he was in that first time-traveling memory, though honestly all of these children seem like they're little shits. He definitely has a far more obvious mischievous steak and seems to take great satisfaction in making fun of the bank robber. Finally, Ben's power as shown too - or rather, implied, as some sort of creature absolutely tears apart the rest of the robbers. Ben does not seem to actually enjoy having to use his powers, unlike the rest of his siblings.
Notably, killing these criminals was absolutely not off the table and, like, yeah, they murdered them all. But as they exit the bank that's not exactly called in question and they're eventually greeted as heroes. Their father eventually shows up to introduce his PASSION PROJECT to the interview: the Umbrella Academy. He explains that the world "has changed" and that there are people who are gifted with extraordinary abilities. He adopted six of these children (wasn't it seven?), though that's not exactly accurate as he apparently just up and BOUGHT them.
The memory will also explain their actual origin story: in October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth to children, all at the exact same time. None of the women were pregnant before them. The children Mr. Hargreeves adopter are those of them he could find.
