Bates Motel (2013–2017): Season 3, Episode 10 - Unconscious - full transcript
Norman's issues push Norma to the breaking point; Emma has an unexpected reaction to good news.
Previously
on Bates Motel...
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.
You killed him.
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 them.
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... of trying to
make all of this shit work.
I'm screwed.
I'm... I'm, like... I'm totally screwed.
How could you do that to me?
I'm gonna leave tomorrow.
You want to come with me?
Norman?
What are you gonna do
about that girl in there?
I know what you want to do.
It's not like that, Mother.
She's... she's just in trouble.
Come on, let's go to the house.
Of course, Mother.
Where did 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.
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 gonna look at this
Pineview place today.
What's that?
It's this place that...
That can help people
with... with mental issues.
Okay.
It's a bit of a drive,
so I'm... I'm just gonna
get dressed and... and head out.
Okay, okay, quiet down.
We got a big day ahead of us, people.
Everyone clear on your assignments?
Good.
We're gonna hit Bob Paris at exactly 2130,
and, Russell, your team's
gonna 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.
CREDITS
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 in case this happens.
Hey.
Don't worry, okay?
It's gonna be fine.
This is exciting.
I'm gonna go and get my stuff.
Bradley?
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... uh, well,
it's... it's aitnclear.
You know, one of the
things I am interested in
- is getting a full diagnosis.
- Mm-hmm.
You know, mental problems are complicated.
Of course you know that.
Yes. Always.
Who's 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.
Mm.
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... 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, h-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...
W-w... What does this olace costs?
We deal directlyit wh
your insurance company.
We have case officers who will handle
all of that for you.
Uh, insurance, of course,
but, um, just, like,
what does this place cost a day?
That depends greatly on the specific
condition being treated.
Oh, yeah, yeah... but
I mean, like, ball park.
There is no one number.
No range of cost?
I mean, I... you are dressed
very nicely to sell me
on this place, but you... you're, like,
not gonna tell me how much it'd cost 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 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'd need to have a doctor.
And a plan of treatment.
This
is Caleb. Leave a message.
What the hell, Caleb? Huh?
You... what, you thought it was a good idea
to just leave without telling me?
Like... like maybe I wouldn't
just, you know, notice or something?
Well, guess what? I noticed.
So go to hell.
Yeah, we're ready. We
can be there in 90 minutes.
As soon as you made the decision.
Yes, but it's a chance.
It's all we've ever wanted.
I understand.
Yes, I'll make sure she does too.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, bye.
- 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 gotta 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... 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 it... it isn't...
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... they
survive, they... 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.
Now at least... at least
this way, I can... 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... you know, I
want to have some control
- over my life.
- Emma... Emma, come on.
No, don't... I look ridiculous when I cry.
Look, you're the least ridiculous person
that I've ever known.
Y-you... you're wiser
than... than most people
twice your age, and you're
the bravest person that I know.
You're a freaking warrior.
Um...
What were we talking about?
I have no idea.
Hey, you can, uh, you
can 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, then
I'm doing a pretty shitty job.
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.
Ah, you're here.
I've been doing some math.
I think I'm about
$30,000 with the jewelery.
I can sell, $15,000 in cash.
♪♪
That's where you were?
All this stuff has bought
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?
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.
Oh.
Norman. We can do this.
We have money now.
We can do this.
It's my mom.
I have to go.
I'm leaving after dark.
You know where to find me
if you change your mind.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi.
- Where have you been?
- I was running some errands.
- Where were you?
- Just down in the office.
And I just ran up the stairs
'cause I just felt like it.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Okay, come on.
I'm worried about you.
I know.
I mean, you know, the black
outs 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.
Honey, that was... That was, like,
that was stupid. That was...
It was just grasping at straws.
I mean real doctors.
I'm not always gonna be
in this world, Norman.
Okay, you're gonna out-live me.
And I want you to be safe.
There are things that we can do.
There's, um, there's therapy,
there's medications.
You know, I mean, I...
We never really looked into it. It's...
I think it's... it's... it's...
It's something that I have been
very scared to do,
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... 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.
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?
I... 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... That
I couldn't protect you.
If I could change that,
I would, but I can't.
I-it's... 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 was 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 gonna lie, I'm so scared.
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.
We're all doomed in the end, right?
Yeah, maybe.
Probably.
I'm gonna go to the house.
But thank you very much for stopping by.
All units, button up.
We're ten minutes now from the Paris house.
Roger that, sir.
- Hello?
- It's Alex.
You better throw some shit in a
bag and get the hell out of there.
The DEA's 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.
Federal Agents! We have a warrant!
Go, go, go, go.
House seems clear.
Level clear.
Agent Babbitt, all clear.
Wait a minute,
what do you mean, all clear?
Did you... did you clear the perimeter?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Nobody, no one?
Up and down, no one.
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... I see any other
fingers uncurled, Bob,
I'm gonna shoot you. Go on, two fingers.
What you got there? Run
money and fake passports?
Pretty much.
How'd you know about this place?
Maybe about three years
ago, I ran into Rick Hogshead
down at the diner.
We were shooting the shit, and he told me
he sold you his fishing boat.
You know, it was one of those, um...
moments where you... you
know, you kind of reflect
on your life, you know, 'cause I had 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 benefitting
from all of the money
floating around in this town?
Coming with me?
No, that's not the way it's gonna go.
I thought you were gonna let me leave town.
Look, the... 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.
What... 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.
Norman? What's going on?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
I am leaving.
- You're leaving?
- Uh-huh.
Hey... 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.
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.
Uh-huh, I... I love you,
yes, I will always love you,
but if I've become too
much of a burden for you,
I... 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 separate.
Okay, Norman, so we'll separate,
but you don't have to leave.
God, 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 were 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!
Oh!
Norman? Norman, please, stop.
I'm sorry...
Dylan, come home as fast as you can.
Norman has completely gone out of his mind.
And I'm just scared of
him. I need your help.
Dylan.
- Norma.
- He's out of his mind.
I just mentioned the institution,
he went crazy, he said he was leaving.
I had to stop him.
I knocked him out and locked
him up in the basement.
Norman?
Norman?
He's not down here.
Oh, my God, he got out.
Where did he say he was going?
I... 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?
She... 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... 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.
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!
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!
What the hell were you thinking?
No one will ever
get between me
and my son.
Mother, what have you done?
Mother?
What have you done?
I'm sorry, Bradley.
I'm so sorry she did this to you.
Norman, she was a mess.
I did her a favor. Poor
girl was on a death wish.
And more importantly,
she was gonna 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.
Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
I will take care of all of this.
Okay, no one will ever know.
It'll 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.
on Bates Motel...
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.
You killed him.
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 them.
I will give you the flash drive,
but you have to give me the assurance

You want to come with me?
Norman?
What are you gonna do
about that girl in there?
I know what you want to do.
It's not like that, Mother.
She's... she's just in trouble.
Come on, let's go to the house.
Of course, Mother.
Where did 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.

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... they
survive, they... 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.
Now at least... at least
this way, I can... 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... you know, I
want to have some control
- over my life.
- Emma... Emma, come on.
No, don't... I look ridiculous when I cry.
Look, you're the least ridiculous person
that I've ever known.
Y-you... you're wiser
than... than most people
twice your age, and you're
the bravest person that I know.
You're a freaking warrior.
Um...
What were we talking about?
I have no idea.
Hey, you can, uh, you
can 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, then
I'm doing a pretty shitty job.
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.
Ah, you're here.
I've been doing some math.
I think I'm about
$30,000 with the jewelery.
I can sell, $15,000 in cash.
♪♪
That's where you were?
All this stuff has bought
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?
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.
Oh.
Norman. We can do this.
We have money now.
We can do this.
It's my mom.
I have to go.
I'm leaving after dark.
You know where to find me
if you change your mind.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hi.
- Where have you been?
- I was running some errands.
- Where were you?
- Just down in the office.
And I just ran up the stairs
'cause I just felt like it.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Okay, come on.
I'm worried about you.
I know.
I mean, you know, the black
outs 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.
Honey, that was... That was, like,
that was stupid. That was...
It was just grasping at straws.
I mean real doctors.
I'm not always gonna be
in this world, Norman.
Okay, you're gonna out-live me.
And I want you to be safe.
There are things that we can do.
There's, um, there's therapy,
there's medications.
You know, I mean, I...
We never really looked into it. It's...
I think it's... it's... it's...
It's something that I have been
very scared to do,
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... 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.
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?
I... 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... That
I couldn't protect you.
If I could change that,
I would, but I can't.
I-it's... 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 was 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 gonna lie, I'm so scared.
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.
We're all doomed in the end, right?
Yeah, maybe.
Probably.
I'm gonna go to the house.
But thank you very much for stopping by.
All units, button up.
We're ten minutes now from the Paris house.
Roger that, sir.
- Hello?
- It's Alex.
You better throw some shit in a
bag and get the hell out of there.
The DEA's 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.
Federal Agents! We have a warrant!
Go, go, go, go.
House seems clear.
Level clear.
Agent Babbitt, all clear.
Wait a minute,
what do you mean, all clear?
Did you... did you clear the perimeter?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Nobody, no one?
Up and down, no one.
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... I see any other
fingers uncurled, Bob,
I'm gonna shoot you. Go on, two fingers.
What you got there? Run
money and fake passports?
Pretty much.
How'd you know about this place?
Maybe about three years
ago, I ran into Rick Hogshead
down at the diner.
We were shooting the shit, and he told me
he sold you his fishing boat.
You know, it was one of those, um...
moments where you... you
know, you kind of reflect
on your life, you know, 'cause I had 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 benefitting
from all of the money
floating around in this town?
Coming with me?
No, that's not the way it's gonna go.
I thought you were gonna let me leave town.
Look, the... 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.
What... 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.
Norman? What's going on?
Nothing.
What are you doing?
I am leaving.
- You're leaving?
- Uh-huh.
Hey... 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.
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.
Uh-huh, I... I love you,
yes, I will always love you,
but if I've become too
much of a burden for you,
I... 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 separate.
Okay, Norman, so we'll separate,
but you don't have to leave.
God, 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 were 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!
Oh!
Norman? Norman, please, stop.
I'm sorry...
Dylan, come home as fast as you can.
Norman has completely gone out of his mind.
And I'm just scared of
him. I need your help.
Dylan.
- Norma.
- He's out of his mind.
I just mentioned the institution,
he went crazy, he said he was leaving.
I had to stop him.
I knocked him out and locked
him up in the basement.
Norman?
Norman?
He's not down here.
Oh, my God, he got out.
Where did he say he was going?
I... 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?
She... 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... 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.
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!
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!
What the hell were you thinking?
No one will ever
get between me
and my son.
Mother, what have you done?
Mother?
What have you done?
I'm sorry, Bradley.
I'm so sorry she did this to you.
Norman, she was a mess.
I did her a favor. Poor
girl was on a death wish.
And more importantly,
she was gonna 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.
Oh, it's okay. It's okay.
I will take care of all of this.
Okay, no one will ever know.
It'll 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.
