Bates Motel

Previously on Bates Motel...

You had sex with my mother. Did you know I was your son?

How do you expect me to have a relationship

with you under the circumstances?

My mother was the most wonderful person who ever lived.

And I miss her.

I don't want to see you ever again.

I don't care now. She's gone. So what does it matter? (PANTING)

You're under arrest.

You can't just leave me here, Mother.

Alone, where I can't find you.

Don't worry. She'll be back soon.

You see, she wants the world to think she's dead

so they can never hurt her again.

You did come back. I thought you'd left me.

I'd never leave you. You know that.

Good morning, Juno.

I smell breakfast cooking. Do you?

Come on.

Oh, Mother.

Good morning, honey. Come on and eat.

Oh, so, I finished putting up those new shower curtains

in the motel bathrooms, and they look great.

I mean, the rooms are looking all spiffed up now.

Great.

Good to keep up business.

Yes, and I was thinking maybe it's time we paint.

We haven't redone the exterior of the motel in a few years now,

and that hardware store just reopened.

I wish I could go down to the village with you and look.

I know, Mother.

I know it's hard for you always having to stay here in the house.

But it's what we signed on for.

And at least it's paradise here, right?

Eat your biscuits, honey, before they get cold.

All righty, Mother. I'll see you in a bit.

I imagine you will.

It's not like I'm going anywhere.

I'm sorry about the village.

But it's just the same old village, though.

I know.

And I'd give up a million villages

just to be with you here forever.

I love you, Mother.

I love you, Norman.

Get in line, inmates.

Oh, hello, Norman.

Mrs. Claremont. Beautiful weather we're having, huh?

It is.

Oh, hi. Can I help you?

Yes, I think maybe you can.

This is a nice, soft, vintage yellow.

Oh, yes.

Uh, no, that... That is nice.

This is for an exterior, right?

It is. I, uh...

I own and manage the Bates Motel.

It's... It's on the old highway before the bypass.

I've driven by there. I love your house, it's amazing.

Like, what mind thought that house up?

It reminds me of that Hopper painting.

Mmm. Oh, exactly, yes.

My, uh... Well, my mother and I bought it several years back,

and she was always trying to fix it up.

She... She passed away,

but she would've really loved this store.

She was, uh...

She was really very artistic

and always wanted everything to be beautiful.

I think it was her way of fighting

what wasn't beautiful in the world

and things she just couldn't control.

I totally understand that.

Uh, I think I'll take these.

Great.

They're so good.

So, uh, does your husband like paint?

Not so much, no.

The store is definitely my baby.

What's your name?

Uh, Norman Bates.

I'm Madeleine Loomis.

Well, it's sure been nice meeting you.

Yeah.

Now, I have to take money from you.

Ah, yes. So, your total is $38.64.

Um, I'm... I'm sorry, this isn't, uh...

It's not my wallet. I... I found it in one of the motel rooms.

I just meant to put it in the lost-and-found box that I have in my office.

I, um... Uh, I can't pay with this.

Would you just hold these items for me till I get back?

Of course. All righty.

Thanks. I'll be back. I'll be here.

Your call cannot be accepted at this time.

Please try your call again later.

Hi, honey, you're home.

Have you seen my wallet anywhere?

Yeah, I just saw it in your room. You must've left without it.

Well, I have someone else's wallet, and I don't know how I got it.

Let me see.

Mmm, yeah. It's not your wallet.

Should I put it in the mailbox?

No, I wouldn't do that.

No, this might belong to someone in the motel. They'll come looking for it.

I just don't remember checking this person in.

Huh.

Mother?

Do you ever have the feeling that you've

had the same nightmare over and over again,

but that you can't remember it?

You just remember the feeling of it.

Nope.

Just keep it in the office. Put it in the safe.

Why would I put it in the safe?

Because someone might come looking for it,

and I don't want it to get lost.

You know what your memory's like.

I can't help it.

I know, sweetheart. I know.

Just do what I'm telling you, okay? Put it in the safe.

(UPBEAT POP MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

Congrats on the promotion.

I heard you got the Pine Coast Ale account.

Yeah, thanks.

I think I, uh... I think I finally found my calling.

Beer. Who knew?

That beer would be your calling?

I knew that.

I'm gonna run these inside real quick. Yeah.

Hey, birthday girl.

Hey.

How's my girls?

We're good. She was a little fussy before, but she's calmed down now.

Oh.

How'd I get so lucky?

You had quite a tour of duty in the lower levels of hell.

Here, give her to me. Go enjoy your party.

I got you. I got you.

Mmm, I'll get it.

Hey.

My gosh. Um, come in.

Appreciate it. Thanks. Yeah.

We're just throwing a party right now.

I'm sorry, is this a bad time?

I could come back if you want.

Hey, Em, I think we're gonna cut the cake pretty soon.

Caleb's here.

Hey.

Yeah, she's ours.

Can I hold her?

Yeah.

Hello, Kate.

Hey.

I was looking at pictures on Emma's Facebook.

Not to sound creepy, but it was a way to make sure

that you're both okay.

I saw the baby.

And I had to come.

Oh, man, Norma Louise must be over the moon about this.

What?

I don't really talk to my mom or Norman anymore.

Well, what happened?

Look, I don't... I don't really want to talk about it.

But there's a grand kid involved now.

Where are you staying, Caleb?

Uh, I hadn't checked in anywhere yet.

The truth is, I'm running a little low on funds.

It took a lot of effort to get over the border.

Um, hoping maybe I could stay here for a few nights

until I figured out what I was doing.

Of course you can.

We... We don't have a spare room, but I hope the couch is okay.

No, that's great. Thank you, Emma.

Oh, man.

You want me to put my stuff somewhere?

Yeah, you can just dump your stuff in our room.

It's down the hall.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's fine.

Alex?

I was sorry to hear your parole got denied.

I wrote nothing but positive things in my part of the report.

You work hard in your sessions.

You've been a model prisoner.

It's bullshit. It's politics.

I'm... I'm a crooked cop, Phil, that's what they do.

Yeah, they make an example out of you.

Two more years. That's all I care about.

I know it was bad news.

Oh, hi, finally.

Uh, yes, I have a charge from your company on my credit card bill,

but I didn't order anything from whoever you are,
