Bates Motel

This is all your fault.

You know what you have to do, don't you?

I have to get that belt.

Shh. Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

It's me. I'm coming.

Are you all right?

Clementine.

I have to go.

Help me.

[Dog whimpering, scratching door]

Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey.

What happened, huh?

Hey. Look, I'm sorry to bother you,

but my bike just ran out of gas.

Can you tell me where there's a gas station around here?

I have to go. I have to go.

- No--take me! - No...

Look, normally--normally, I wouldn't--I wouldn't ask,

but I saw the police car out front, so...

Yeah, I'm actually-- I'm off duty right now,

but there's a shell station. It's, like, two miles up the--

Wait, wait. Which way?

It's just-- it's that way.

- Right down by the water. - Okay, great.

I'll come back for you, I promise.

No, take me with you!

What were you doing in that cop's house?

I wasn't at a cop's house.

- I was just out running. - In your street clothes?

I saw you go in that guy's house.

Who do you think knocked on the front door

and saved your ass so you could get out of there?

What kind of trouble are you in?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm not in any trouble.

I'm not gonna tell mom.

Can I help you with something?

I'm a friend of Emma's.

I thought we could walk to school.

You're Norman Bates.

Yeah. Yes.

I've heard a lot about you.

Emma's got a flu.

And with her condition, we get very concerned

every time she has a bug.

She won't be in school for at least a week.

She'll be okay, though, right?

- Probably, yeah. - Could I see her?

I just wanted to ask her opinion about something.

Not this week, Norman.

She's resting. She doesn't need excitement.

Okay.

I'll tell her you called by, though.

She'll be happy.

Perfect, yeah. Thank--thank you, sir.

Norman.

I probably shouldn't be telling you this,

but my daughter has quite a crush on you.

And you seem like a nice kid.

And I know you know she has a lot of, um...

problems.

She's not strong, and she's very young.

Just a regular girl in many ways.

So please...be decent.

I am decent.

Hi.

Hey.

So where are we going?

Well, I happen to know this little motel.

It's not exactly open yet.

I happen to be personal friends with the owner.

And between you and me, she is...really hot.

Norman's gonna be home from school by 4:30.

Well, great. That gives us an hour.

Okay.

You're awfully pretty.

That's a new one.

I don't mean pretty like you're handsome.

I mean pretty like...

like, um, well, you know,

like when you look at an old woman,

and you might find her very beautiful.

- - You know, like that.

So I'm an old woman?

Be quiet. Will you be quiet?

Hello there, Norma.

How are those new linens working out for you?

This is my son Dylan.

And this is Zack Shelby.

Uh, I'm gonna go get my car.

Hey, Norman.

I'm so sorry.

What are you doing?

I bought some groceries for the house.

What? I'm living here for a while.

I just thought I should contribute.

You're a real piece of work, Norma.

How long have you been seeing that cop?

Um, I don't think that's any of your business.

Well, I think it is.

I'd be careful if I were you.

- What about? - I don't trust him.

That's for each and every one of you.

Two times now this week I've caught you guys

coming down this street.

Do not make me cut tickets.

Another guy would rip your head off, all right?

This is the last time I want to see you, understand that?

All right, you guys get out of here.

Norman?

Freeze!

What are you doing, Norman?

I, uh-- I was just taking the...

you know, the shortcut home from the video store.

My--my friend's dad died.

I was picking her up a few-- a few movies

I thought she might like to watch

and take her mind off things.

Death is profound, isn't it?

Hmm. I guess so.

You're a sensitive kid, aren't you?

You're going through a lot.

Look, I'm gonna be honest with you.

'Cause you're not a kid,

and you're gonna understand this.

I really like your mom.

She's a good woman. I care for her.

Yes.

So I think that it would be a good idea--

maybe even a necessary idea--

for you and I to get to know each other better.

You like fishing?

Oh, um...

I don't know. I've never done it.

Really? Well, then, I'm gonna teach you how.

That's okay, I--

I'll set the whole thing up with your mom.

You're gonna love this, okay? Trust me.

I have my own secret spot.

Nobody knows about it. Lots of fish.

- You good with that plan? - Mm-hmm.

Great. Good.

We'll talk soon.

Oh, hey, Norman,

next time I say hi to you out here on the street...

don't run away.

Mom, I need to talk to you.

Hmm?

No, I need to tell you something.

Hmm? What?

There's a girl in his basement.

Officer Shelby's.

She's, like, less than 20. Drugged.

I think he was running some kind of

Asian sex slave business with Keith Summers.

I found a book-- it was hand-drawn--

in one of the rooms the night we were pulling up the rugs.

It was by this girl from Asia who'd been kidnapped

and was being forced to work as a prostitute.

I didn't think it was real.

And I didn't know Officer Shelby was involved

until I broke into his house last night

and found this girl in his basement.

Why on earth would you go into Zack's house?

To find the belt. You told me to.

Norman, I never told you that.

Yes, you did. You sat on my bed,

and you said that I knew what I needed to do.

That I needed to get back the belt.

Mom, I'm telling you, there's a girl locked in his basement.

Honey...honey...

sometimes you hear and you see things that aren't there.

- That's not true. - It's true.

I don't want you to worry,

but you've done this for a while.

You know, it's like some kind of trance or something.

I don't want you to worry. Don't be scared.

Honey, I'm gonna protect you.

Don't--

Why are you in the basement in the middle of the night?

Well, I couldn't sleep...

so I'm snooping.

I just wanted to see the rest of your house.

How 'bout we go back to bed, yeah?

Okay.

Where were you last night?

I-I just made an extra turkey pot pie,

and I brought it over to Shelby's.

You made him that?

I was up at 2:00. You weren't here.

Norman, you-- you have to stop this.

- I don't trust him. - Norman, you're just jealous.

You're not used to me having somebody.

I'm not jealous. You're my mother, not my girlfriend.
