In The Umbrella Academy in the episode "The Day That Wasn't" number five says:
I do owe a debt, but not to you.
Is it specified in the comics who he was referring to?

Possibly a useful reference: comicvine.gamespot.com/the-boy/4005-60400 – FuzzyBoots Feb 21 '19 at 12:14
Number Five's arc in this episode roughly follows The Umbrella Academy: Dallas issue 3, "Television, Or Are You There, God? It's Me, Klaus", but I don't believe the answer really exists there since the adaptation is a bit different.
Simply put, Number Five owes the debt to his family, and the episode is him setting things up to come back to help them avert the apocalypse.

1Having re-read the comic for the question, I can confirm the answer is not in the comics. It begins to perhaps tell us, but then Five is interrupted by the monocle. – Broklynite Feb 21 '19 at 14:21
