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.
Someone ran you off the road?
Yes. And threatened me.
Call Mr. Paris.
I found out that Norma's brother
has been staying up at Dylan's farm.
He raped her.
He's dangerous. I don't understand how
Dylan could have anything to do with him.
Because he's his father.
Was it really like she said it was?
Maybe not exactly.
Norma and I 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. It's his father.
Mother, stop it! You're scaring me.
Leave me the hell alone.
Norman, let her go!
Mother!
Get her back, Dylan! Get her the hell back!
Calm down.
I'm not calming down! She's never left me.
Stop it!
No!
You have to! She's coming back!
She's not going to come back!
She hates me!
She hates me now, Dylan, and it's all your fault!
It's not my goddamn fault!
Shit.
You're only supposed to take three things.
Really?
It's fine. There's no one here.
- Hello. It's Norma Bates. - Leave a message
and I'll call you back.
Norma, you need to come home.
Norman is losing it, okay? I don't know what to do with him.
Mom, please.
She's not coming back.
She's your mother.
I mean, she's going to 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.
No.
You're different.
She's not going to leave you.
You don't know her like I do.
I think it's going to be okay.
She's just mad. She'll calm down.
I feel strange.
Like I'm outside my body.
It's probably just from getting knocked out.
I'm sorry I had to hit you.
Hello?
Hey, Emma.
Is everything okay?
What happened?
I'm worried about Norman.
My mom found out that my uncle was staying at the farm.
I told her.
Norman was with me. He was trying to back me up.
She, uh...
She totally wigged out. I mean, on a whole new level.
She's never left Norman before.
What can I do to help?
Do you want me to stay here with you? I can sleep on the couch.
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, are you sure?
I mean, is it okay for you to stay out overnight,
with the breathing and all?
No, I'll breathe here the same as I'll breathe anywhere.
You don't need to be alone with all of this.
What happened?
You got shot.
You're not going to die,
but you're also not going anywhere for a while.
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 want my damn phone and I want you to go away.
Get me my phone.
- Hello. It's Norma Bates. - Leave a message
and I'll call you back.
It's Alex. Norma, I was...
I was shot.
You got to be very careful. You could be in a lot of danger.
So call me. Call me.
I'm buying these.
How can I help you, young lady?
You know what? I'm sick of my car. I just want a new one.
You got a little damage here.
Look, I just want to trade in my car. Like, now.
They'll stop soon.
He's drunk. He'll pass out.
Mother?
Mother, where are you?
Caleb, I've got to talk to you.
Hey. 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 going to have to leave.
Hey, don't worry. It's all right, Dylan.
I'll clear out.
I'm sorry.
Me, too.
Hey, go to bed, kid. Okay?
You look like you're going to cry.
If that's a pick-up line, it's a bad one.
It wasn't.
You just looked like you actually might cry.
Well, maybe you're projecting and you're going to start crying.
Well, it wouldn't be the first time.
And it won't be the last.
I'm Taylor.
I've never seen you in here before. What's your name?
I'm Norma Louise Calhoun.
You're pretty, Norma Louise.
You always this quiet?
I ran out on my wedding today.
You did not.
I certainly did.
And he was a really nice guy.
I just couldn't do it, you know?
And I have a problem with commitment, as in I don't get it.
So you've never been married, Norma Louise?
Mmm.
Maybe once.
But there was something wrong with him, you know, like, mentally.
We couldn't stay together,
so I had to kill him.
Don't listen to anything I say. I'm so drunk.
I haven't made sense in the last hour.
You want to go out to my truck with me? Have a smoke?
Okay.
What are you doing?
What does it look like I'm doing?
Hey, you think it's okay to get a guy
all worked up and then just leave?
Leave me alone.
You're a freaking mess, lady!
Screw off!
Stop it, Juno! You're scaring it.
Norman.
Norman, talk to us. We're here for you.
Norman?
I've never seen him like this.
Norman?
What in the hell do we do?
I don't know.
Well, should we call an ambulance?
No.
No. This has happened before. We wait it out.
Hello?
You know how hard it is to find a pay phone?
Who is this?
It's Norma Bates.
Are you okay?
I got nowhere to go,
and I don't want to be alone right now,
so, um, can I come over?
Norma, what's going on?
I don't know. It's like I'm having some kind of a breakdown.
So, please, can I just... Please, can I come over?
Okay.
I want my mother.
Let's put him in your mom's room. Maybe he'll feel safer.
Okay.
You okay?
I know. It's attractive.
I know this sounds weird, but could you possibly bang on my chest?
I've got all this crap in there that needs to get out.
I know it's disgusting. My dad normally has the honors, but...
Yeah, of course.
Tell me what to do.
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 this stuff off the walls in my lungs.
I don't want to hurt you.
You won't. I'm tougher than I look.
Okay. Sorry. Yeah. It's okay.
All right.
You've got to do it harder.
That's better.
Sorry. There's...
Phlegm on the floor. I'll clean it up.
No, Emma, please.
It's fine.
I never should have let you come here tonight. I didn't realize that...
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 never am.
Yeah, I understand.
You, too?
Well, hi. How's it going?
This is highly unusual.
Yeah. Welcome to my world.
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 going to kill you.
You should have gotten the flash drive back from that woman.
Yeah, thanks for the tip.
For my money, though, it's a waste, them killing you.
I am going to 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.
Yeah, I'll think about it.
Excuse me. Visiting hours are over.
On my way out, give me one minute.
I'll be back tomorrow for an answer.
Then we'll proceed one way or the other.
So,
what happened?
My kids asked me to go talk to my brother
whom I haven't spoken to in years.
When we were growing up, he was really terrible to me
and I don't want to talk to him, you know? I don't want to dig it up.
Makes sense.
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 going to hurt yourself or someone else.
My son isn't normal. There's something wrong with him.
How so? Like, physically?
No, not physically.
He had a brain scan and his brain was normal.
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.
Norma, tell me what's going on.
You know how...
You know how my husband was in an accident?
Yeah.
It wasn't an accident.
Your son did it.
It wasn't like that. He was defending me.
He... And he was blacked out. He didn't know.
I called the insurance company, I told them it was an accident
because I didn't want them to take him away from me.
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 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 promise.
Okay. I don't know why I even came here. Honestly, I am so drunk.
Don't believe anything that I've said. Okay, just sit...
Don't believe anything that I've said. Norma! Norma!
Norma, stop it.
Stop it. Norma... Norma...
It's okay.
It's going to be okay.
You've been carrying this burden around alone for 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.
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.
Can I help you?
No, I'm fine.
Maybe just go wake up your brother so he can eat.
My brother?
Yeah, silly.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong with me.
Then run upstairs. I mean, 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 going to go home and shower and change.
Thank you, Emma. I can't thank you enough.
I'll be back soon.
Hey.
What are you doing?
I'm going home. I have to go home.
Jesus, Norma. Okay, stop.
Look, 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 ya. 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.
Morning, neighbor.
Hey.
What happened?
Yeah. Okay.
So, I'm going to leave.
I just wanted to give you another shot at that driving gig.
When's it happening?
Couple of days.
That work for you?
Maybe. Yeah.
What is it exactly,
this driving?
You don't 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 gotta 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 was a bad idea.
It doesn't matter. The damage is done. We're going.
Why are we doing this?
Because I said we're doing it.
I don't want to go.
Well, neither do I.
But I'm not going to 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!
Why does she have this car?
Look, don't ask any questions right now.
Norma Louise! I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
