Bates Motel

Previously on Bates Motel...

I mean, we can't take on a dog right now.

I always wanted a dog. I mean, all families have a dog.

Could you tell me what happened to the Seafarer Motel?

It's the Bates Motel now.

You know where I can find Keith Summers?

He's actually dead.

There's nothing more to tell you.

That's the entire truth.

Everything that happened with Keith Summers,

with Deputy Shelby... you know it all.

Someone in the motel?

This man, he had a standing reservation at the Seafarer

every two months for a week.

I'd love to have the same business arrangement

that I had with Keith, if that's possible.

There's not anything illegal, right?

- No. - Come here, girl.

Stay! Stay!

The art of it is to recreate the beauty of motion

in something still.

To create life, if you will.

Here is where we'll make incisions.

Then what do you do?

Well, then you have to take everything out.

I'm sorry. There's no pretty way to put it.

Oh, no, that's okay. I figured as much.

Now...

here are some of the various stages of how it works.

I'm sorry you lost your friend here.

It just seems sad to let her go.

You know, dishonorable, sort of, just to put her in the ground.

I think she was lonely.

I understand.

Well, I think what you do to these animals is...

- amazing. - Come and help me.

I can teach you how it works. You might enjoy it.

Once you get past the blood and the guts of it all,

it's really quite beautiful work,

if you're at all artistic,

which I have a feeling you might be.

Thank you, Mr. Decody.

I feel so bad for him.

He's always just staring at her like a lost puppy.

Yeah, it's a little pathetic.

He's a little pathetic.

Yeah, Norman's nice, but he's really weird.

The way he just stares into space like that.

He's the definition of socially challenged.

I mean, he can't actually think

he has a shot with her, right?

He's not that out of reality.

Bradley's so nice.

She just felt sorry for him.

I think she thinks of him as more of pet than a guy.

Like, really, like she would ever have sex

with someone like that.

No way. He can't be that stupid.

Well, maybe you better talk to her...

because she did.

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

Actually, I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Bradley had sex with Norman.

Sex, as in carnal-back-and-forth.

Maybe she has sex with all her pets.

I don't know.

But you should really get your facts straight

before you shoot your mouth off

with your demeaning opinions.

And you've got toilet paper on your shoe.

Hmm.

- Sheriff Romero's office. - Hello.

Can I speak with Sheriff Romero, please?

- Who may I say is calling? - Norma Bates.

Hold, please.

I'm sorry. I don't have him right now.

Well, can you please leave a message that I called?

- He knows me. - Of course.

Can you spell your last name for me, please?

Bates. B-a-t-e-s.

Bates.

Hey, it's Dylan.

Yeah, we just brought in the harvest

from the Red Creek field.

I need you and Remo to go down to California

and pick up the trimmers.

- Yeah, okay. - It's all set up.

They'll be waiting for you tomorrow.

3:00 P.M., Twin Eagles Motel in Fortuna.

Yeah, um, what exactly are trimmers?

Yeah, get Remo to explain it to you.

He's made the run about 20 times.

It was Gil.

He wants us to go down to Fortuna

and pick up the trimmers.

What exactly are trimmers? Really?

You don't know what a trimmer is?

Why don't you explain it to me?

How about I don't?

Here comes Ronny and Don.

I'll get the van. You can pack up.

Wait, wait. Pack what?

It's an overnight trip, Nimrod.

Pack a change of clothes, or not.

You want me to come over and tell you what to wear?

Okay, let's-- let's just go.

Hey, yo! Let's go!

Why did you tell everyone?

Tell everyone what?

About you and I-- what happened that night.

I didn't tell anyone.

You told Emma Decody,

because she told everyone in the girls' bathroom.

I'm sorry.

I-I don't know why she would do that.

Listen, it's just not cool, Norman.

Okay, but why isn't it?

I mean, it happened, right?

Yeah, but it shouldn't have.

We need to forget about it.

I have a boyfriend, okay?

I don't want people to know.

Just forget it happened.

Norman?

Excuse me, Norman.

What is going on?

- I have to leave. - Why?

- I just have to. - Well, do you have a note?

You have to have a note.

Norman, you cannot just walk away from school and leave.

You'll get cited. You'll get suspended.

I don't care!

Norman.

Just come back inside, and we can--

Housekeeping.

Morning. I wasn't sure what time you wanted me

to come and clean the room. Will you be leaving soon?

You can come in and clean it now--that's fine.

Oh, no, that's okay. I'll come back later when you're gone.

Actually...

I'd like my room made up now.

I was in town last night. I...

heard there was an unpleasant incident here recently.

- A dog got hit out front. - No.

I heard Zack Shelby got shot here.

Right up there on those steps.

Yeah, he did.

It's funny. You never know someone.

I knew Keith Summers all these years.

Not well, but I knew him.

And here he was-- he's in the motel for this...

sex trade.

You just never know, do you?

Yeah, I guess you don't.

Sorry about that.

I'll grab a bulb from another room.

It's no worries.

Did you know Zack Shelby?

Did I know him?

A little.

I guess like how you knew Keith Summers.

So not so much?

No, not so much.

I'm sorry. I have to, um--

I just remembered.

I have to give my son a ride somewhere.

He's not here. Yeah.

Yeah, I saw him leave.

School, wasn't it?

I got to go.

I'm gonna come back, and I'll finish up later, okay?

I just--just...

We're good for now.

If I need anything else, I'll come by the office.

Sure.

Mm-hmm.

Sheriff Romero can see you now.

So what can I help you with, Mrs. Bates?

Oh, please, call me Norma,

after everything we've been through...

You know that I called your office this morning.

You know, I was coming in town anyway.

I thought, oh, I'll just pop in and see him.

So anyway, um...

you know, I bought the motel a few months ago,

and no one told me at the time

that the city's planning on building a new bypass

that would basically take my motel off the map.

Mm-hmm.

So I'm just trying to figure out a way

that, um, I can fight this from the inside.

Well, I, um, I see that there's a seat open

on the city planning committee,

and I wanted you to put me forward for it.

Maybe I can influence their decision.

Why would I do that?

Be...cause I thought you would.

Why?

Because...
