Bates Motel

Previously on bates motel...

I never seen anyone go into a hole like that.

Did anyone call my mother?

no, they just called me.

Well, please don't tell her.

That girl is not a good choice.

She's rude. She's disrespectful to adults.

She's a nice girl.

Don't you walk out on me when I'm talking to you!

Hey, get back here now!

you okay?

I told you to wait in the car.

My dad's a dick. Whatever.

I heard you just saved my brother's life.

Who are you?

I'm your boss.

Morning, mother. What's for breakfast?

I didn't make anything. I actually have to go into town.

I have to do some errands.

Oh, you want me to come? We can get breakfast out.

No, I have stuff to do. Stay here and help emma.

When were you drinking? Was this with cody?

Don't make a big deal of it.

You know, all kids my age drink.

I didn't raise you to be all your kids your age.

I raised you to be better.

We're supposed to be taking you to get

Your driver's license test this weekend.

How am I supposed to feel okay about letting you have that,

When you're doing stuff like this?

Mom, I need to be able to drive.

Please, I'm a grown man.

Making immature choices.

It's really important to me.

I know it means a lot to you.

I'm sorry about the beer.

I'm trusting you, norman.

You cannot keep secrets from me.

I'm gonna get dressed. Put your clothes away.

Someone's supposed to be picking me up from work.

You're not remo.

I hope not.

Come on. Let's go.

Why was I in a hospital two towns over?

Because no one knows you were in the shootout.

That's why we took you to the hospital over in oceanview.

It's a better hospital also.

So I wanted to make sure you had the best,

Given you jumped in front of a car

To save my dumb-ass brother.

You live up here?

No, I'm taking you up here to kill you.

yeah, I live up here.

It's a hell of a commute.

Well, let's just say I don't love visitors.

Dozer! Dozer!

Oh, it's okay. It's okay, honey, yeah.

Come on, I'll show you inside.

Don't let the goat bite you in the ass.

Come here.

Come on, come on. Come on, come on.

So, uh, your room's upstairs.

You'll be safe here until this all blows over.

Are you sure you're not gonna kill me?

opposite, actually.

I'm very interested in keeping you alive.

Do you have family?

Anyone I need to call,

So they're not worried about you?

No, they don't care about me.

That came out way more pathetic than it was supposed to.

But, uh, it's fine I'm here.

Here you go.

yes?

Hi, it's norma bates. I need to see nick ford.

Hello, mrs. Bates.

I don't show that mr. Ford has an appointment with you.

Well, he doesn't.

I just wanted to talk to him for a moment.

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

Well, okay, I'll just drive home,

Call him, and then come back.

Okay, mrs. Bates.

Norma? Oh, hi.

I was just trying to get in to see you for a moment.

I wanted to talk to you.

I guess you heard the news.

Well, if you mean about lee berman,

Yes, it's so sad.

Mm, sad... And convenient.

Well, I would never say someone dying is convenient.

Well, then you'd be lying or ignorant.

There are many times, norma, when death is convenient.

I don't want to do this anymore.

You don't want to do what? Stop the bypass?

Well, no. I still want that.

But I-I don't want to do this.

You and me, this.

It's nothing personal.

I just--this is very important to me,

And we barely know each other.

That didn't seem to bother you the other day.

Before you had the environmental impact report.

Before lee berman drove off a cliff.

Well, I just think it's strange,

Lee berman dying all of a sudden.

What are you saying,

I had something to do with lee berman's death?

No, I'm not saying that at all.

That would be crazy, right?

I just feel that I can take it from here.

Well, it's--it's been great getting to meet you,

And I wish you all the best.

You be well, norma bates.

Hi.

I had to come over.

Isn't that the weirdest news about lee berman?

I couldn't believe it. I know.

It's terribly sad. He had a wife and kids.

You know, you need to try and get that open seat.

Does that seem right?

He's dead, the seat's open,

And that bypass is still happening.

I'm not saying it's gonna be easy.

There's gonna be a line of people trying for it.

But a lot of the people around here in this town are yokels.

And I know rob is trying to get a council together

That's a little bit more sophisticated and educated.

Not--not to sound like a snob.

I seriously don't mean it that way.

But people a little more like--like us.

Who's rob?

The mayor of our city.

Oh, rob, yeah. Right.

I just-- he doesn't even know me.

Well, call him, and tell him

That you want to talk to him about taking over the seat.

Tell him you're a friend of mine and peter's.

They play golf together.

And I'm gonna have george call you

To help prep you for the meeting.

No, I'm not trying to set you up again.

I can take a hint.

I mean, it's not him. He's wonderful.

I'm just not ready yet. Please.

It's just he's fantastic at this kind of thing.

He was a lawyer for many years.

Politics have always been a hobby of his.

He helped three senators get elected,

And I really think he could help you get this seat.

Really?

I don't want to put you to trouble.

Norma, stop it.

It's no trouble at all. I am gonna call him.

I think it would be great

To have a smart, single mom

With a business on the board.

Let me know how that call goes, okay?

You slept a long time.

That's good.

What's this?

It's a little elixir I made for you

From some herbs in my garden.

Lavender is the main component.

It has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

It also aids in insomnia and anxiety...

Depression.

But that's not our problem.

Go ahead. Drink it.

So I'm gonna make dinner for us.

We'll eat around 7:00.

Okay, yeah. Okay.

Thank you.

I mean, for...

You know, bringing me to your own home.

I'm just dropping off some towels.

Maybe I need more towels.

I'll bring some later. I'll be here.

I thought you had to go sell pot.

I can work around your schedule.

I'll see what I can do.

Do you want to go for a drive later?

Sounds good.

Okay. I'll make it work.

But I've--I've really got to go deliver towels.

Okay, okay, enjoy your towels.

Oh, I will.

Hey, emma.

What are you doing?

Oh, nothing.

You know, cody's just picking me up.

Okay.
