Bates Motel

Previously on bates motel...

To doing what's right.

I don't want to do this anymore.

You don't want to do what?

I don't want to do this.

You and me, this.

How dare you give me orders,

Come into my house when I'm not here,

Act like somehow I'm beholden to you?

That's because you are.

I don't like you. I don't trust you.

And I want you out of my house now.

You're making a horrible mistake.

Zane morgan.

What about him?

You can get to him, and you can take him out.

You're asking me to kill zane?

I'm not asking you.

That girl could have ruined your entire life

The other night.

You told her something happens to me

When I black out. Norman--

Who am I, mother?

Who am I, and what do I do?

You have to trust that I am protecting you,

I know you better than anyone,

Because I am not going to answer your question,

And I don't want you to ever ask me again.

Norma, what are you doing?

Mother?

Mother?

Why are you doing this to me, huh?

stop talking.

Get in.

No, you must've got the wrong person.

I go to high school!

Norman? It's time to wake up.

Norman?

norman?

Norman, are you down here?

Emma.

Have you seen norman today?

No, not yet. Is something wrong?

No, everything's fine.

I'm sure.

Is something wrong?

No, everything's fine.

Well, if you see norman, tell him I'm looking for him.

Norma. What?

You know, I work here almost every day.

I'm not stupid. I know when something's wrong.

Nothing is wrong. Oh, really, nothing's wrong?

What do you want me to do? Make something up?

Where's norman? That's what I'm asking you.

Why are you so concerned?

Emma-- I'm sorry, I need to go.

Hello?

Hello! Can anyone hear me?

Hello!

Helloooooo!

Is anyone out there?

Help me!

Heeeeelp!

Hello, this is norma bates.

I'm looking for my son, norman.

Is he doing tech at the theater today?

No, he's not here. We haven't seen him.

Okay, there must be some confusion.

Uh, well, then, if he comes in,

Would you please ask him to call me?

Thank you.

Hello there, it's norman, and I will call you back.

I know you're mad at me,

And I know I've left 15 messages,

But cut this sh-out.

I-I don't know what you're trying to prove,

But you've succeeded.

You're really scaring me, so stop it.

If you don't call me back right away,

I'm gonna report you as a missing person,

And you're not going to like it.

Thanks, darling. Yep. Anything else?

No. Good for now.

All right.

This must be serious.

Can't just have a cup of coffee

With my dad's ex-partner and get caught up?

You know, your dad was always worried

About how serious you were,

How hard you were on yourself.

I have a lighter side.

I can't wait to see it.

Ah, it's probably not gonna happen today, is it?

You, uh, you still doing polygraph tests?

you kidding?

I'm going down to portland two, three days a week.

It's too much sometimes.

You know, my reputation is killing me.

It's only because I'm old and still at it.

No, it's 'cause of the way you conduct a test.

There's nobody better. You always--

Could always ferret out the truth.

No.

I can't force anyone to reveal the truth.

I can just tell you if they're lying.

You, um, you do a polygraph

On this kid for me, off the record?

And he'll agree?

Yeah, I'll get him to.

What do you want to know?

If he committed a murder.

Why this way?

I, uh, I put somebody else away

For the crime,

A real scumbag who deserves the time, but--

And I-I can't--

Well, you know,

The law is imperfect.

No, it's not about that, declan.

If I went by the letter of the law,

This town would be boarded up.

Then what's this about? The truth.

I have to know what happened.

I need to know.

Well, let's see what we can do.

There are a lot of great rivers in the area.

Look, I'd probably go to river bend.

It's just, like, right off the highway there.

Mm-hmm.

There's this beautiful section of the river

Where you can have a pic--

Ex--excuse me.

I'm sorry, I'm just expecting a call from my son.

That's fine. Go ahead.

Hello?

We have norman.

Are you there, norma?

I'm here.

He's safe, for now.

What do you mean, he's safe? Why is norman with you?

Well, he's not technically with me.

But he is somewhere.

And if you want him to be there,

You need to do what I ask you.

Okay.

You need to convince dylan to do

What I want him to do.

I'm tired of being dicked around here.

If he accomplishes what I want by this time tomorrow,

Great.

You get norman back.

If you tell your friend sheriff romero

Or anyone else,

I'll know.

And norman will be dead.

Please don't hurt him. Please don't hurt him.

Make it happen.

Oh, god.

Dylan, I think your mom's outside.

Seems upset.

Open the door!

If I don't get in there in the next minute,

You're not gonna like what happens!

Dylan, you have to do something.

Nick ford has norman.

He says he's gonna kill him if you don't do

What he asks you to do in the next 24 hours, and that was,

Like, a half-hour ago. Okay.

Just keep your voice down.

He kidnapped him, he kidnapped him,
