"(male narrator) Previously on Bates Motel..." " Sheriff Romero?" " Yeah?" " I'm Marcus Young." " Running for sheriff." "You want to do what's in the best interest of the town?" "Find the damn flash drive." "I didn't particularly want to bring" "Marcus Young out here to take your job." "You left me with no choice." "(Norman) Someone ran you off the road?" "(Norma) Yes, and threatened me." "Call Mr. Paris." "(Norman) I found out that Norma's brother has been staying up at Dylan's farm." "He raped her." "He's dangerous." "And I don't understand how Dylan could have anything to do with him." "Because it's his father." "(Dylan) Is it really like she said it was?" "Maybe not exactly." "And Ma, we were so close, her and me." "We were all we had." "He just wants to talk to you, to tell you he's so sorry that it ever happened." "You have to try and understand." "(Norman) It's his father." "Mother, stop it!" "You're scaring me!" "Leave me the hell alone!" "Norman, let her go!" "Mother!" "[glass shattering]" "Get her back, Dylan!" "Get her back!" "Calm down!" "Not calming down!" "She's never left me!" "Stop it!" "No!" "You have to!" "She's coming back!" "She's not gonna come back!" "She hates me!" "She hates me now, Dylan, and it's all your fault!" "It's not my goddamn fault!" "Ah!" "Shit." "[dramatic music]" "[sobbing] [phone rings]" "[phone chimes] [phone chimes]" "Ugh!"

"I don't know what to do with him." "Mom, please." "She's not coming back." "She's your mother." "She's gonna come back." "This is what she does." "She leaves." "Just like she moved from Arizona and didn't tell you." "Just like we moved all those times when we were little." "Just like she left her home and never talked to her parents." "Only now she's leaving us too." "[somber music]" "No." "You're different." "She's not gonna leave you." "You don't know her like I do." "I think it's gonna be okay." "She's just mad." "She'll calm down." "I feel strange." "Like I'm outside my body." "[breathes deeply]" "It's probably just from getting knocked out." "I'm sorry I had to hit you." "[door opens in distance]" "(Emma) Hello?" "Hello?" "Hey, Emma." "Is everything okay?" " Um..." " What happened?" "I'm worried about Norman." "Yeah, he..." "My mom found out that my uncle is staying at the farm." "I told her." "Norman was with me." "He was trying to back me up." "She, uh..." "She totally wigged out on me on a... on a whole new level." "She's never left Norman before." "Yeah." "What can I do to help?" "Do you want me to stay here with you?" "I can sleep on the couch." "No, I don't want to ask you to do that..." "You didn't." "I offered." "I've got some extra oxygen in the office." " I'll run down and get it." " Emma, you sure?" "I mean, is... is it okay for you to stay out overnight, breathing and all?" "I'll breathe here same as I'll breathe anywhere." "[sighs]" "You don't need to be alone with all of this." "[door opens and closes]" "[electronic beeping]" "[solemn music]" "What... what happened?" "You got shot." "You're not gonna die, but you're also not going anywhere for a while." "Wh... wh... where's my phone?" "It was in my jacket." "Your phone, your wallet, and your clothes are in the drawer." "You don't need those right now." "No, I need my phone." " No, you need to lie still." " No!" "Do you need me to make a call for you?" "No, I-I want my damn phone, and I want you to go away." "Get me my phone." "[suspenseful music]" "(Norma on recording) Hello, it's Norma Bates." "Leave a message and I'll call you back." "[beep]" "It's Alex, Norma." "I wa..." "I-I was..." "I was shot." "Though you... you got..." "You gotta be very careful." "You could be in a lot of danger, so call me." "Call me." "[beep]" "I'm buying these." "[ominous music]" "How can I help you, young lady?" "You know what?" "I'm..." "I'm sick of my car." "I just want a new one." "[sighs]" "You got a little damage here."

"What's the matter?" "What happened?" "Norman never told her." "I finally did." "I asked if she would talk to you, but..." "She won't do it." "You're gonna have to leave." "Hey, don't worry." "It's all right, Dylan." "[chuckles] I'll clear out." "I'm sorry." "Um, me too." "Hey, go to bed, kid, okay?"

"Well, it wouldn't be the first time, and it won't be the last." "I'm Taylor." "[song ends, cheers and applause]" "Never seen you in here before." "What's your name?"

[clears throat]" "So you've never been married, Norma Louise?" "Mm... maybe once... but... there was something wrong with him, you know, like, mentally." "Um, we couldn't stay together, so I had to kill him." "[laughs]" "[laughs]" "Don't listen to anything I say." "I'm so drunk." "I haven't made sense in the last hour."

"Cup your hands and then pound on my chest like this." "Sorry." "You've got to do it harder." "You've got to knock all the stuff off the walls in my lungs." "I-I don't..." "I don't want to hurt you." "You won't." "I'm tougher than I look." "Okay." " Sorry." " It's okay." "All right." "You've got to do it harder." "That's better." "[coughing]" "[retches, inhales deeply] [coughing]" "Sorry." "There's..." " phlegm on the floor." " I'll clean it up." "No, Emma, please..." "It's fine." "I never should've let you come here tonight." "I didn't..." "I didn't realize..." "Don't say that." "I wanted to." "You have no idea how much this family means to me... how much I want to be a part of it, but... but never am." "Yeah, I understand." "You too?" "[doorbell rings]" "Oh, hi." "How's it going?" "This is highly unusual." "Yeah, welcome to my world." "[mysterious music]" "How you doing, Sheriff?" "What do you want?" "Relax." "I'm not here to finish the job." "No." "What are you here for?" "They were talking about you at the club." "Bob's done with you, says you're no good to him anymore." "They're gonna kill you." "Should've gotten the flash drive back from that woman." "Thanks for the tip." "For my money, though, it's a waste them killing you." "I am gonna be the sheriff here." "That's a done deal." "But you know this place..." "The ins and outs." "I could use a guy like you." "I could keep you alive." "I can handle Bob." "He just needs to know you're working for me."

"[sighs]" "My kids asked me to go talk to my brother, whom I haven't spoken to in years." "Um, when we were growing up, he was really terrible to me, and, um, I don't want to talk to him, you know." "I don't want to dig it up." "Makes sense." "Mm." "Well..." "You're safe here, Norma." "I don't know if I can keep living my life." "There's so much I have to deal with every day." "I don't feel like I'm dealing with any of it." "Like what?" "Can I be honest with you?" "You're a therapist." "You won't tell anyone?" "Not unless you're gonna hurt yourself, someone else." "My son isn't normal." "There's something wrong with him." "How so?" "Like, physically?" "Um, no, not physically." "He... he had a brain scan, and his... his brain was normal." "Uh... he has these blackouts, and he loses himself." "And I have killed myself trying to take care of him, to protect him, to keep it a secret." "And the idea that he would turn on me, that he would ask me to do this thing..." "Okay, but why do you have to keep that a secret?" "It seems like you're making it way more of a burden than it has to be." "[crying]" "Norma, tell me..." "Tell me what's going on." "[sobbing] [solemn music]" "You know how... you know how my husband was in an accident?" "Yeah." "It... it wasn't an accident." "[crying]" "Your son did it." "It wasn't like that." "He was defending me." "He... he..." "And he was blacked out." "He didn't know." "I called the insurance company." "I told them that it was an accident because I didn't want them to take him away from me." "[cries]" "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, my God." "Oh, God, I hate myself." "I shouldn't have told you." "I don't know why I told you." "Why did I tell you?" "This... this is..." "You have to forget about what I just said, okay?" "Promise me that you will forget everything I said." "Promise me!" "Promise me, please!" " Promise me!" " Okay, Norma." "I-I promise." "[sighs] Okay." "I don't know why I even came here." "Honestly, I'm so drunk." "Like, don't believe anything that I've said." "Okay, just... just..." "Don't believe anything that I've said." "Norma..." "Nor..." "Norma!" "Norma, stop it." "Stop it, Norma." " Norma, stop." " [sobbing]" "(James) It's okay." "It's okay." "[Norma sobbing]" "It's okay." "It's okay." "It's gonna be okay." "You've been carrying this burden around alone a long time." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "We can't do this." "I think you need me more as a therapist right now." "I could lose my license." "[cabinet closes] [silverware clatters] [cabinet closes] [dishes clinking]" "Oh." "What are you doing?" "Sit down, honey." "I'm just making some breakfast." "French toast." "Are you feeling better?" "Oh, I'm fine." "Got some beautiful blackberries yesterday." "Will you get them out of the fridge?" "Norman?" "Norman's sleeping." "Get me the blackberries." "They're on the bottom shelf." "Okay." "[eerie music]" " Can I help you?" " No, I'm fine." "Maybe just go wake up your brother, so he can eat." "My brother?" "Yes, silly." "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing's wrong with me." "So run upstairs." "You know how Norman is." "He'll sleep all morning if you don't wake him up." "He's still sleeping?" "I hope he had a peaceful night." "I'm gonna go home and shower and change." "Thank you, Emma." "I can't thank you enough." "I'll be back soon." "[door opening and closing]" "[exhales]" "Hey." "What are you doing?" "[sighs] Um, I was..." "I'm going home." "I have to go home." "Jesus." "Norma, okay, stop." "Look, I-I know it doesn't seem like it, but you're in a very fragile state right now." "You need to stop worrying about everybody else and just take care of yourself." "I hear you, but I can't take care of myself." "I'm a mother." "Now I have to go talk to my horrible brother." "You know what, I have no choice because it is important to my sons." "Yeah, and what about your own needs?" "Parents do not have needs." "You ever read the book The Giving Tree?" "It's about a tree, and this kid keeps coming and taking stuff from it his whole life, until there's nothing left but a stump." "And then the kid sits on the stump." "That's being a parent." "[birds chirping] [object hitting dirt]" "Morning, neighbor." "Hey." "What happened?" "[exhales] Yeah." "Okay." "So I'm gonna leave." "I just wanted to give you another shot at that driving gig." "When's it happening?" "Couple of days." "That work for you?" "(Caleb) Maybe." "Yeah." "What is it exactly?" "This "driving"?" "No need to worry about that now." "When you need to know," "I'll tell you." "Wake up." " Norma?" " Wake up, Norman." " Mother." " Come on." "Get up." "We got to go." "Where are we going?" "We're going to the farm to talk to your uncle." "This might not be the best time." "You don't have to." "It... it was a bad idea." "It doesn't matter." "The damage is done." "We're going." "(Norman) Why are we doing this?" "(Norma) Because I said we're doing it." "I don't want to go!" "Well, neither do I, but I'm not gonna be the mom who says, "I won't talk to your dad because I hate him because he raped me."" "That's not what parents do." "So get in the damn car!" "[door opens] [dramatic music]" "Why does she have this car?" "Look, don't ask any questions right now." "[Norma breathing heavily]" "[car alert beeps] [car door opens]" "[breathing heavily] [gentle music]" "Norma Louise, I'm so sorry." "[whispers] I'm so sorry." "[sobbing] I'm so sorry." "I'm so sorry." "[both crying]" "I'm so sorry." "[sobs] I'm so sorry." "[suspenseful music]" "[Norma and Caleb crying]"
