Bates Motel

previously on bates motel...

You're new. What's your name?

Norman bates.

Bradley martin.

i wanted to ask you about emma.

I have her on a list for a lung transplant.

How much does it take?

$20,000.

I make this run every month.

I was trying to give you guys an opportunity to make $25,000.

This guy is going back with a message.

Get out!

come on. We gotta get outta here.

She's using you to protect herself and her family.

I told james finnigan how your father died.

Your son did it.

You told that person about that.

I was worried about you, and he was a doctor.

- How could you do that? - Because, norman,

You have no idea what it's like to be your mother!

I know what's best for you, honey,

How to handle things. You know that's true.

Get away from me!

norman...

You can't run away from me, norman.

Don't fall apart, norman.

¶ ¶

Why are you here?

What's happened to you? Why--why do you look like this?

Because my life has been a living hell

Since i last saw you.

it's taken me a month to get across country

In this piece of shit.

I don't know what i thought i was doing, running away.

Why did you come back here?

You try living on your own without any money,

Without any parents.

I don't know why you and dylan let me do it.

But this is the one place that you can't be.

You're dead here.

Yeah, i don't want to be dead anymore, norman.

I want to come home.

¶ ¶

Mr. Paris.

Norma.

How's the pool coming?

I will give you the flash drive.

I just wanted you to know that.

Romero's been talking to you?

No, but...

What dr. Finnigan told you was a lie.

My son had nothing to do with his father's death.

I see.

I had a private investigator do some research.

- Interesting case. - It was an accident.

Norman has a bit of a history, though, doesn't he?

His girlfriend's father, officer shelby.

That wasn't him.

My mistake, that was alex romero.

Convenient.

I will give you the flash drive.

I will do whatever you want.

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.

Bringing me the flash drive

Would be in your best interest, though.

But i think romero may beat you to it.

You had him wound pretty tight around your finger, didn't you?

I think i opened his eyes.

It's kind of funny, isn't it?

You think i'm the bad guy,

But i think you may be much worse than me.

Oh, and don't slip and fall into your pool.

You might never get out.

[electricity snapping and crackling]

Hey!

Nice plan you put together.

Wait. What do you mean?

We're lucky we got away with our lives.

Tell me what happened.

You know what happened.

No, i don't.

You set us up.

Okay, you're an informant.

Playing both sides. Well, you know what?

They're on to you.

Their plan was to kill my son

To send you a message.

Did they kill dylan?

You know what? You'd be dead if they did.

Mm-hmm.

Well, thank god they didn't kill dylan.

I'm sorry.

Now, where are my guns and money?

There are no guns and money.

For all i know, you never made it to canada.

You sold my weapons to somebody here in the states

And came back here with that sad-sack story.

We're done talking.

You are gonna give me the 25 grand you owe me

For doing the job, and you're gonna be grateful

That i'm a different man than i used to be, okay,

That i'm willing to just take the money

And leave and not put a bullet in your damn skull.

You've got the gift of wit.

I'll give you that.

It's hard to find these days.

Okay, so we'll have a drink and talk it out.

Everything will be fine.

Aah!

¶ ¶

If you ever, ever

Go near my son again,

I'll hunt you down

And i will kill you

If it's the last thing i do.

What the hell is this?

Didn't your mom tell you?

She's building a pool.

Maybe she wanted to surprise you.

This doesn't look like a pool.

This looks like a bomb crater.

How was the delivery?

Honestly, it was, um,

Not good.

I'm sorry. That sucks.

Oh, anyways, i-i probably need to go take a shower.

I've been--i've been stuck in the truck for, like, 72 hours.

I can't tell. I have tubes in my nose, but...

have a--have a nice shower.

I'm gonna go home in a few minutes.

I'll, um-- i'll see you tomorrow?

Okay.

Dylan.

What do you--what do you need the money for?

Is it important? Can--can i help?

It is important.

No, i-i don't think you can help.

Thanks, emma.

¶ ¶

so yeah, you can sleep at the motel.

And we don't have any guests.

No one will see the car here.

thank you, norman.

It'll be nice to get a shower

And sleep in an actual bed.

just don't let my mother see you.

She thinks you're dead.

Why haven't you answered any of my calls?

B-because i don't want to talk to you, norma.

Whatever. You want to act like a third-grade girl right now?

Fine. You know what? I can't control the universe.

I just need the stupid flash drive back.

Come here.

You need to keep your voice down right now.

Okay, i understand that you are upset with me.

But all i can tell you

Is just try living in my shoes for a week

And then get back to me.

You know what? I don't care about that.

It's not my job to make you like me tonight.

It's my job to get it back.

Bob wins. I lose. I don't give a shit.

Just give it to me.

You talked to bob?

I just want out of this.

Well, you're out of it. I'm taking care of it.

What the hell does that mean?

How are you taking care of it?

You don't just get to take care of it

And not tell me what that means. I'm the one who gave it to you.

well, live and learn, norma.

Be careful who you give things to.

And we're done talking about anything.

So you're just gonna go and tell your mother you're alive?

How exactly are you gonna do that?

I don't know.

I can't just show up on her doorstep.

I think she'll have a heart attack.

Maybe a note.

Maybe you could do it.

You don't have to implicate yourself.

You don't have to tell her your part in it all.

My part in it all?

yeah.

I can totally keep you out of it.
