Bates Motel

Male announcer: Previously on "bates motel"...

- So do you think you can help me?

- I'd like very much to help you,

And I think I can.

- Did you kill bob paris?

- What's your endgame here?

$3 million.

Every safety deposit box requires two keys.

The bank has one.

The box renter holds on to the other.

What do you want?

- Caleb beat me, stole my money,

Drove off my wife and child.

You want to kill him?

- Is that what you want?

I just black out and--

And maybe because I'm crazy or something.

I-I don't know.

- What do you think about norman?

- You want to know what's really wrong with norman,

You should talk to the person who knows him best.

- And that's you? - Of course it is.

I'm his mother.

♪

- The number you are calling has been disconnected

Or is no longer in service.

♪

You got up early.

I couldn't sleep.

What happened?

Nothing.

- I'm--I'm a little late, all right?

So I'm gonna grab something to eat at the office, okay?

Yeah.

- See you tonight. - Okay. See you.

Alex.

It's funny, you and I, isn't it?

That we're here and-- and we're happy,

That after everything, we've made it.

And you're going off to work and kissing me,

And it's like I'm watching a movie,

But it's not a movie.

♪

It's not a movie.

Don't screw it up.

♪

♪

I don't remember how therapy ended.

- That's because you weren't here.

I blacked out?

- Do you know what happens to you when you black out?

No.

- I think there might be other people living with you.

Have you ever heard of dissociative identity disorder?

No.

- When a child experiences trauma,

They sometimes disappear inside themselves

In order to handle it.

They create other personas who can come out

And deal with it better.

I spoke to someone at the end of our session.

It wasn't you.

Well, who--who was it?

Your mother

Or a version of her you've created.

What did she say?

She wants to protect you.

From what?

- I think me, at the moment.

Do you have any awareness of her?

♪

- There have been a--a few times that I've been confused,

Have thought I spoke to my mother but hadn't.

That's good.

Can you remember any details of those events?

Not really.

No.

But, um, you said--

Why--why does she want to protect me from you?

I don't know yet.

Oh.

- We've been in here almost two weeks,

And you've spoken very little about your life growing up.

I was, uh...

Normal.

My parents fought a bit.

Uh, my dad had a drinking problem.

But every family has their problems.

It was nothing, uh, extraordinary.

It was ordinary.

You know, they both tried.

I don't really remember that much about it.

Really, you know, I-I--

My dad was gone a lot.

I just mostly remember being with my mother,

Which was nice.

♪

My head--my head just still hurts a lot.

I get these bad headaches when I black out.

Can we not do this today?

Okay, norman.

You need to rest and take care of yourself.

We can meet tomorrow.

Thank you, doctor.

Oh, um...

What was this person like?

This person in me who's my mother?

- Actually, she's charming.

♪

[door clicks open, bell jingling]

♪

- Thanks for coming to meet me.

That's quite a cane you got there.

Yeah, I made it.

Carved it myself.

What is that, birch?

Honeysuckle vine.

- Love it. I love that you made it.

- It's amazing what we can do

When we have to do it.

So you had any thoughts about our little talk?

Well--

I'm not sure what you're asking me,

And that's why I wanted to meet you.

Mm-hmm.

I-I like that thing you do.

You know, between the--your poses.

Are you lonely, norma bates?

Uh, no.

- I just suspected that you might be lonely

Because you can't share with the people you love

The fact that you had sex with your brother.

Can I get you anything?

- I'll have a club sandwich.

No mayo.

For you, ma'am?

- I'm not eating, thank you.

You're so polite.

I love it; there's not a lot

Of polite people left in this world,

But you're, like, genuinely sweet.

So what the hell happened,

You fiddling bits with your brother?

- Would you stop saying that?

- What? It happened.

But--

- Not saying it is not gonna undo it.

So just come on.

I dare you.

Just say it. Just say it.

- fine. I slept with my brother.

What do you want from me?

- I want your gracious help in finding caleb.

You know where he is.

- But I don't know where he is.

Norma.

Come on.

Why are you trying to protect him,

Some--somebody who hurt you?

Do you think that it was your fault?

It wasn't your fault.

How much older was he than you, norma?

How much?

Four years.

- He's not a nice person, norma.

He abandoned your son

After he beat the shit out of me.

How did he know that I wouldn't come after dylan?

I don't know.

You know, I don't know.

- What would it be like if that information got out

That you had a child with your brother?

Your husband would find out who he really married.

Your husband's a public official.

- Please don't do that.

- Then don't put me in this position, norma.

You do the right thing.

♪

- So do you, uh-- do you like it here?

- "like's" a strong word,

But I do think

It might be doing me some good here.

That's good.

Glad to hear that, norman.

Oh, have you, uh--

Have you heard any news from emma lately?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, I have.

She's--you know, she's getting better every day.

Um...

You know, she's getting stronger,

No more tubes, so...

She's, uh--

She's pretty amazing.

Look, norman, there's something that I need to tell you.

You and emma.
