NARRATOR: Previously on Bates Motel...
Norman?
NORMAN: No one will see the car here.
So, yeah, you can sleep at the motel. We don't have any guests.
Okay? You're an informant. You set us up.
(GRUNTING)
You killed him? CALEB: No.
I almost killed him. I wanted to.
I'll go stay on that logging road that runs up along the ridge.
You go ahead and you give it to Emma.
NORMA: I will give you the flash drive,
but you have to give me the assurance
that you won't bring Norman into this.
You don't get to call the shots anymore, Norma.
Where's the stupid piece of computer gear that's ruining my life?
I turned it over to the DEA.
You did what?
I'm sick of trying to make all of this shit work.
I'm screwed. (STAMMERS) I'm like totally screwed.
How could you do that to me?
I'm going to leave tomorrow. You want to come with me?
NORMA: Norman. What are you going to do about that girl in there?
I know what you want to do.
It's not like that, Mother. She's just in trouble.
Come on. Let's go to the house.
Of course, Mother.
(SIGHS)
Where'd this come from?
Caleb left it for you.
He didn't say why?
No, he just said, "Give this to Dylan."
And I didn't ask him to explain it.
(CHUCKLES)
After all that shit?
People are generally disappointing, honey.
They can't help it. And you can't let it kill you.
Yeah. Okay.
I'm going to, uh, look at this Pineview place today.
What's that?
It's this place that... That can help people with, uh, mental issues.
Okay.
It's a bit of a drive so I'm just going to get dressed and head out.
(KISSES)
BABBITT: Okay, okay, quiet down.
We've got a big day ahead of us, people.
Everyone clear on your assignments?
DEA AGENT: Yeah, we got it.
BABBITT: Good.
We're going to hit Bob Paris at exactly 21:30.
And, Russell, your team's going to take
Decatur North here to the Paris residence.
This is the culmination of the entire op.
Lots of time and money have gone into this, so let's not mess it up.
We'll all muster back here 45 minutes ahead of time.
Be here with your gear on time.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR HINGES CREAKING SOFTLY)
WILL: Em? Emma?
Yeah? I'm in here, Dad.
I just got a call from Portland All Saints Hospital.
It looks like they may have found
a set of lungs.
They're just confirming the family
are willing to donate them,
but in all likelihood they are.
We'll know for sure in the next few hours.
Emma, this is it.
How did I get to the top of the list so fast?
My guess is
you're the best match for these lungs.
Come on, you need to get ready
Hey.
Don't worry, okay?
It's going to be fine.
This is exciting.
I'm going to go and get my stuff.
Bradley?
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)
GINNY: Good morning.
Can I help you?
Hi.
Yes, um,
I was wondering if I could get some information about your facility.
Yes, of course. Not a problem.
Just wait one minute, honey.
The patient you're inquiring for, uh, what is his or her diagnosis?
Well, uh, he...
Um, well, it's a bit unclear.
You know, one of the things I am interested in
is getting a full diagnosis. Mmm-hmm.
You know, mental problems are complicated.
Of course, you know that. (LAUGHS)
Yes, always. Who is the referring doctor?
Um, I... I just read about your place and I drove out here myself.
And the patient is your...
Is my son.
Hmm.
Can I ask you a few questions?
Of course.
I'm just thinking about it. I haven't made any decisions yet, you know.
It's actually very hard to, uh... To actually consider doing this. Um...
But how often can you visit?
We have very liberal visitation policies.
As you can see, a lot of our guests have
plenty of access to their families.
Good. He and I are, the patient, we're very close.
Like I said, in almost all cases it isn't a problem.
Good.
And, uh...
What does this place cost?
We deal directly with your insurance company.
We have case officers who will handle all of that for you.
Insurance, of course, but, um, just like out of curiosity, like,
what does this place cost a day?
That depends greatly on the specific condition being treated.
Oh, yeah, yeah. But I mean like ballpark.
There is no one number.
No range of costs?
I mean you are dressed very nicely to sell me on this place,
but you're not going to tell me how much it costs me?
Our minimum charge is $529 a night.
That's room and board.
Treatment costs are all on top of that
for doctors, tests, and therapies.
For most patients it ranges from about $20,000 to $40,000 a month.
The key, like I said, is your insurance.
Most carriers can negotiate a significant discount off of those numbers.
But to really answer your question we would have to have a doctor involved
and a plan of treatment.
I have an information package right here for you.
(INDISTINCT)
VOICEMAIL: This is Caleb. Leave a message.
What the hell, Caleb, huh?
What, you thought it was a good idea
to just leave without telling me?
Like, maybe I wouldn't just, you know, notice or something?
Well, guess what? I noticed.
So go to hell.
(SIGHS)
WILL: Yeah, we're ready.
We can be there in 90 minutes, as soon as you've made the decision.
Yes, but it's a chance and that's all we've ever wanted.
I understand. Yes, I'll make sure she does, too.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Bye.
(CELLPHONE VIBRATING)
Yeah, hello?
Dylan, it's Will Decody.
Will? What's going on?
Have you heard from Emma?
Uh, no. Why? What's the matter?
No, it's good news. We just heard.
A set of lungs have become available.
We've got to get down to Portland as soon as possible.
Emma knows this. I've told her. But she's gone off somewhere.
I think she's worried and scared.
Have you any idea where she'd be?
Did you check the motel?
Yeah, she's not there.
I'll try and find her.
Please. I'm worried if we miss this opportunity,
she won't get another chance.
I'll let you know.
Hi. Hi.
You're probably wondering why I'm here.
Not so much. No.
Your dad told me.
You need to get down to Portland.
He said you disappeared. He's worried about you.
I know. He's in a tough spot. He has to tell me it's the right thing to do
because there's no sensible reason to say no to it. I just...
I just don't want to die. It's as simple as that.
Yeah, but isn't that the whole point of having the surgery?
No. Transplants are not a given.
People reject organs every day.
Lungs are especially tricky.
You know, some person is brain dead
on a ventilator, and we're all acting like,
"Oh, great, just put those lungs into Emma!" It doesn't work like that.
What if I'm not a good match?
That's more likely to happen than not.
Then I've wasted this poor, dead person's lungs
and whatever little bit of life
I have left here on this earth.
Yeah, but I mean, people do have these surgeries.
You know, they survive. They do go on to extend their lives.
Yeah, that is true. But,
I don't want to spend the rest of my life
being poked and prodded and analyzed and evaluated.
Always living with the constant threat, every day,
that my body will somehow turn on me and start to reject the lungs.
You know, at least this way I can just live in denial.
It's not imminent. It's not like
I'm up against this question every day,
"Will my body not screw me over today?"
You know, I just want to have some control over my life!
Emma! Emma, come on. Hey!
Don't, I look ridiculous when I cry.
(SNIFFLES) (SIGHS)
Look, you're the least ridiculous person that I've ever known.
You're... You're wiser than most people twice your age.
And you're the bravest person that I know.
You're a freaking warrior.
(BOTH LAUGH)
What were we talking about?
I have no idea.
Hey, you can, uh, always think of me as being the guy who hit on you
right before you had a lung transplant.
Are you hitting on me?
Well, if you don't know it, then I'm doing a pretty shitty job.
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
I guess I'm getting this dumb lung transplant, aren't I?
You have to.
Don't pressure me or anything.
But you do have to.
I know.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR UNLOCKING)
(PANTS) Ah, you're here.
I've been doing some math.
I think I have about $30,000 worth of jewelry I can sell.
$15,000 in cash.
I broke into my mom's house.
That's where you were?
All this stuff was bought with my dad's drug money,
so I think it's fair game.
We should leave soon.
I bought us some supplies for the road.
Some clothes
and toothpaste.
Yeah. Okay.
Can you be ready to go tonight?
Hmm?
You can sneak out after your mom's asleep.
Norman, please.
You said yourself you're afraid of your mom, that you want to leave.
You're legally an adult. You can do whatever you want.
Please come with me.
I just don't know how I can leave her.
(SIGHS)
Norman, we can do this.
We have money now.
We can do this.
(CAR APPROACHING) (GASPS)
(SIGHS) It's my mom.
I have to go.
I'm leaving after dark.
You know where to find me if you change your mind.
(SIGHS)
(DOOR OPENS)
Hey, Mom.
Hi. Where've you been?
I was running some errands. Where were you?
(PANTS) Just down in the office.
Yeah, I just ran up the stairs, because I just felt like it. (CHUCKLES)
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Yeah. Okay. Come on.
(CLEARS THROAT)
(SIGHS)
I'm worried about you.
I know.
I mean, you know, the blackouts are getting worse.
Yeah, but we have it under control. Okay?
You know I don't go to school anymore.
I don't drive. It's... I'm really just mostly here.
I know. But I think that you need help.
Help that I cannot give you.
What sort of help? You don't mean, like, James?
No. No. (STUTTERS) That was stupid.
That was... (CHUCKLES) That was just grasping at straws.
I mean real doctors.
I'm not always going to be in this world, Norman. Okay?
You're going to outlive me.
And I want you to be safe.
There are things that we can do.
There's, um, therapy. There's medications.
You know, I mean, we've never really looked into it.
I think it's... It's something that I have been very scared to do.
(CRYING) But I am more scared not to.
These places can help us.
They'll help. Places?
It's... It's not like that, Norman.
It's not what you're thinking. They're not horrible, these places.
They're actually very pretty. They're very nice.
You've been to one?
That's where I went today.
(INHALES)
I'm glad that we had this talk of yours.
I see where we stand.
You've given up on me.
That's not true.
Norman, it's exactly the opposite.
I'm trying to help you.
Norman!
(EXHALES)
I'm not here to apologize.
I did what I felt was the right thing. And it was the right thing.
And I stand by it.
Okay. Thanks for coming by and telling me that.
I am sorry that I couldn't protect you.
If I could change that I would,
but I can't. It's just, it's done. It's in motion.
And I wish it was different.
It's not your fault, Alex. It's bigger than us.
It's my fault, anyway. I tried to hide it, you know,
but now it's coming out, and it's just too much to shove away.
I'm not going to lie. I'm so scared.
(CRIES) If he's my son and he's broken.
And he is the dearest boy that ever lived and
I just can't bear it
if Bob Paris has this thing investigated, if they take him away,
if they put him in prison just for defending me.
You know it will kill me.
But, I...
You know, in some way, I don't even care anymore.
You know? Maybe fate wins here.
Eh.
We're all doomed in the end, right?
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
Yeah, maybe.
Probably.
I'm going to go to the house, but thank you very much for stopping by.
(SIGHS)
DEA AGENT 1: All units, button up. We are 10 minutes out from the Paris house.
DEA AGENT 2: Roger that, sir. We're in the pipe, five by five.
(CELLPHONE BEEPS)
(CELLPHONE RINGING)
Hello?
It's Alex.
You better throw some shit in a bag and get the hell out of there.
The DEA is on their way to your house right now to arrest you.
I'm assuming you're still there.
I'm here.
You got less than 10 minutes.
Why are you telling me this?
Because, Bob, you getting arrested is not in my best interest.
(TIRES SCREECH)
DEA AGENT 1: Federal agents! We have a warrant.
Go! Go! Go! Go!
Alpha team clear.
DEA AGENT 2: Bravo clear.
DEA AGENT 1: Charlie team clear.
Agent Babbitt, all clear.
BABBITT: Wait a minute. What do you mean all clear?
Did you clear the perimeter? Yes, ma'am.
And nobody? No one?
Up and down. No one.
(SIGHS)
BABBITT: Damn it.
Hello, Bob.
Alex? You scared the living hell out of me.
No, no. Don't, don't, don't, don't.
I'll put three bullets in you before
you ever get your hands on that pistol.
Reach for it with just your thumb and forefinger.
Two fingers only, lift it out of your pocket.
Okay? I see any other fingers uncurl, Bob,
I'm going to shoot you. Go on. Two fingers.
What do you got there? Your run money and fake passports?
(CHUCKLES)
(SIGHS) Pretty much.
How'd you know about this place?
It was maybe about three years ago
I ran into Rick Hogshead down at the diner.
We were shooting the shit and he told me
he'd sold you his fishing boat.
You know, it was one of those, um... (SIGHS)
...moments where you kind of reflect on your life, you know?
Because I'd always loved fishing,
but I never could afford a boat like this.
You know, not on a sheriff's salary.
So I, uh,
I found myself wondering
why was I the only guy not benefiting from
all the money floating around in this town?
Coming with me?
No, that's not the way it's going to go.
I thought you were going to let me leave town.
Look, the moment I step off this dock,
I'm a new person with a new name.
And I have no reason, ever, ever,
to say anything to anybody about my former life,
especially about that wacko Norma Bates and her kid.
The truth is you're not reliable.
You can change your name,
but you can't change who you are.
I guess none of us can change who we are.
I mean we can pretend to be someone else,
someone who's doing things for the right reason...
Whatever the words are that come out of your mouth, Bob,
you still killed those two girls.
Tell yourself whatever you need to, Alex.
We both know why you're doing this,
and it isn't about those girls.
You know, right now, you are more
like your dad than you ever have been.
This is about you and what you want.
How does that feel?
To have spent your whole life
trying to get away from someone you hate, only to turn into them.
(GASPING)
Norman? What's going on?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
I am leaving.
You're leaving? Uh-huh.
Where are you going all by yourself?
Why do you assume that it's all by myself?
Where are you going? Who are you going with?
Will you please just stop talking to me like I'm insane?
Calm down.
Or maybe you can get the mental institution on the phone
and they can come early! Norman.
Mother, this may be hard for you to believe, okay?
But I don't need you.
In many ways, I just think we've been horrible for each other.
I love you, yes, and I will always love you.
But if I've become too much of a burden for you,
I just don't think we're good together.
I don't think that we're healthy.
Okay? I just think it would be for the best that we separated.
Okay, Norman. So, we'll separate.
But you don't have to leave.
(GRUNTS) Just stop talking to me like that, okay?
There is someone. There's this physical human being
that's waiting for me and we're leaving together.
Norman. Just stop patronizing me!
You're awful.
I'm leaving with Bradley.
Who is Bradley? What are you talking about?
Mother, there really is something wrong with you.
We talked about it. Bradley Martin!
Remember? Outside the motel?
Or are you just trying to drive me even more insane?
Norman, Bradley Martin is dead.
She committed suicide.
Well, then how do you think she's in the motel?
Huh? She can't be dead!
Well, you knew she was there. You can't deny that.
Okay, I am not letting you leave this house.
(GRUNTS) (YELPS)
Oh...
(PANTS)
(GRUNTS) Norman!
Norman, please. Stop.
(GRUNTS)
(WHISPERS) I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
(SIGHS)
(PANTING)
Dylan, come home as fast as you can.
Norman has completely gone out of his mind.
I'm... I'm just scared of him. I need your help.
(DOOR KNOB TURNING) Dylan.
Norma.
He is out of his mind. I just mentioned the institution.
He went crazy. Said he was leaving. I had to stop him.
I knocked him out and locked him up in the basement.
Norman?
He's not down here.
Oh, my God. He got out.
Where did he say he was going?
Uh, it's insane, Dylan.
He said he was leaving with Bradley Martin! She's dead!
He's completely lost touch with reality! What do we do?
Um...
Bradley Martin isn't dead.
What are you talking about?
I mean, it didn't really happen.
What didn't happen?
Look, she was in trouble, and so she faked her suicide
so she could disappear
and get off the radar.
I drove her to the bus station when she left town.
So, Norman could actually be running away with her?
Yeah, I mean, it's possible. But,
it's also true that he sees shit that isn't really there.
Okay, we gotta go find him.
Thanks for coming back for me.
Yeah.
I'm really happy you're coming with me.
(SIGHS)
So where should we go?
Let's just see how long the car lasts.
Where we end up.
This is the right thing to do, Norman. I have a really good feeling.
I'm really proud of you for getting out of there. Huh?
For leaving your mom.
I need to talk to Bradley.
No. No, you need to leave.
What?
I'm not leaving until I talk to Bradley.
And then you'll go?
Sure.
Mother would like to talk to you.
What are you talking about?
Pull over.
What? Norman!
(TIRES SCREECH)
NORMAN: Did you really think you'd be able to lure Norman away from me
with that hot little sex kitten routine of yours?
What are you talking about?
Don't, Bradley. Don't try and play me for a fool.
I practically invented this routine.
Norman!
Stop it!
Shut up, you dumb bitch! Shut up!
(PANTING)
(GRUNTS)
What the hell were you thinking?
(GRUNTING)
No one will ever
get between me
and my son.
(PANTING)
Mother, what have you done?
Mother.
(SHOUTS) What have you done?
I'm sorry, Bradley.
I'm so sorry she did this to you.
(CAR CREAKING)
Norman, she was a mess. I did her a favor. Poor girl was on a death wish.
And, more importantly, she was going
to take you away from me, right?
That was the plan.
I could never let that happen.
You would have died out there in the world. I would have died.
We belong together.
There's a cord between our hearts. Do you remember?
Come here, honey.
It's okay. It's okay.
I will take care of all of this, okay? No one will ever know.
It will be our secret.
But you can't ever tell anyone, okay? You promise?
I do.
Then we'll always be together.
Hmm? Won't that be nice?
Yes, Mother.
Yes, it will.
(SINGING) The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
