NARRATOR: Previously on Bates Motel...

We pulled two bodies out of Falls Lake a couple days ago.

We just identified one of them.

I thought you'd wanna be the one to tell your wife.

EMMA: The Bates Motel is a family business,

and I feel like I've been part of the family.

Norma, you've always been so close to me. Hmm.

ROMERO: He killed his mother. CHICK: He loved her.

If you know what Norman's done, you're an accessory to murder.

Says the escaped convict.

(GUNSHOT)

(TYPEWRITER DINGS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

SHERIFF: Norman Bates, you're under arrest for the murder of Sam Loomis.

DYLAN: Norman, I'm gonna get you a lawyer.

Don't say anything until your lawyer gets there.

Norman is not a bad person, and he's not a criminal.

What do I need to know about him?

He has another side to him.

I don't know what you'd call it. Maybe multiple personalities.

(GRUNTS)

I'm the only one who's gonna protect you!

(CLANGING)

It's time for me to fix this.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

Turn to your left, please.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

Okay, if you'd step up to the desk, please.

I need to take your prints.

Uh, what do I do here?

Place your right thumb down on the scanner.

Hold it there until you hear a beep,

and don't move.

There's no ink?

Ink smudges. Everything's gone digital. Wait for the beep.

(BEEP)

Place your right index finger on the scanner, please.

(BEEP)

Left thumb, please.

So, what happens next?

Wait for the beep. Oh, right.

(BEEP)

Tomorrow, you'll go before the judge.

After that, it's anybody's guess.

Mine is, you'll be moved within 48 hours

to a pre-trial detention facility.

Left index finger, please.

Detention facility? You mean, like, prison?

You'll be warehoused wherever the judge wants to keep you.

But it won't be here. We don't do that.

That's a bit premature. Whatever happened to bail?

That's up to the judge.

Personally, I wouldn't count on it.

(EXHALES)

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Dylan, what happened?

Oh!

Katie's with my dad.

I'm with you, we'll figure it out.

I wanted to be here and help you with this.

(STAMMERS) I'm, uh...

(EXHALES)

I don't know how to tell you this.

They, um, they found your mom's body up in Falls Lake.

She was murdered.

I... I know it was Norman.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(WARBLING)

(WARBLING INTENSIFIES)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(OFFICER SNEEZES)

You catching a cold?

No, it's dust allergies.

This place probably hadn't been dusted since the mother died.

She died two years ago,

but this room looks like she still lives here.

It's like a museum.

Yeah, maybe.

Pretty interactive museum.

Someone's been sleeping in the bed. Pulp's' still fresh.

(DETECTOR WARBLES)

(WARBLING INTENSIFIES)

Sheriff Greene,

we found a piece of luggage buried out front.

It belongs to a Audrey Decody.

Don't move. I'm coming down.

I hate to steal anyone's thunder,

but I've got that beat by a mile.

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

This isn't real.

This isn't happening.

I know, I feel the same way.

I mean, even though I've thought these things,

and wondered about all this stuff for so long, it just...

It doesn't seem possible.

I'm so sorry, Emma.

I never wanted to bring you anything but happiness.

It's not your fault.

You didn't bring Norman into my life.

He was so sweet when I met him.

Norman is sweet, he's just out of his mind.

That doesn't make it better for me.

Of course not.

I need to go home.

Emma, please, don't, please, just stay here with me, please.

Please, don't go.

I'll stay to take care of my mother's body.

But I don't know if we're gonna make it through this, Dylan.

I can't promise you that.

I understand.

(SNIFFLES) And please don't talk to me about having sympathy for Norman.

If I ever lay eyes on him again, I might just kill him.

Okay.

(DOOR OPENS)

I need the handcuffs off. He's got documents to sign.

I'll be right outside.

(SARCASTICALLY) What a relief.

Are they treating you all right?

If I said they weren't, could you get me out?

I'm sorry, Norman, this is gonna be a tough road.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

So, what happens now?

Well, tomorrow, you have your preliminary hearing.

The judge has to decide whether to take the case to trial,

depending on the State's evidence.

It's a formality, but from what I've seen, they're taking you to trial.

Which is why we need to start thinking about our approach.

Oh, well, I didn't do it. So, not guilty.

I agree.

You believe me? I agree with your approach.

There are no light sentences when it comes to serial homicide.

But if you plead guilty, the best we can hope for is to keep you alive.

Multiple life sentences in a maximum-security prison.

With your permission, I would like to aim a little bit higher.

Permission granted. How?

Not guilty by reason of insanity.

So, I spend the rest of my life in an institution?

Probably, yes.

I don't like it.

I don't blame you.

But I wasn't in my right mind when they questioned me.

I asked multiple times for my medication. They never gave it to me.

And that Sheriff Greene, it's... She hated me the moment she met me.

It's like I smelled bad to her, or something.

It's weird. She's so weird. It's inappropriate.

Yeah, she messed up. She crossed the line.

And I will make a motion in court to suppress your confession

on the grounds that it was made

during duress and cognitive impairment.

That's great. I love that.

But the State still has very strong

physical evidence against you, Norman.

Look, we can take our chances fighting it piece by piece,

but you have a legitimately strong insanity plea.

Because my stepfather locked me up in an institution?

Sure.

Also, because maybe you needed to be there.

Look, uh, your brother says you struggle with multiple personalities.

And Dylan's a doctor now?

He didn't know the proper term, but I do.

Dissociative identity disorder, DID.

Do you know if you've ever been diagnosed with it?

Everyone has multiple personalities, Julia.

We pull out what we need when we have to.

That's not really an answer, Norman.

At least not one I can use in court.

Well, I was only in Pine view for two weeks.

And I don't think anyone there ever really understood me.

Which is why I think it's crucial

that we have you evaluated now.

I need to understand you to best figure out how to help you.

Are you a mother?

No.

Do you want to be a mother? No.

That's smart.

'Cause you seem like you like to succeed, to win.

And being a mother is an impossible job to win.

We'll take it one step at a time, okay?

One step at a time, closer to hell?

I don't believe in hell.

Dad, I... I don't know.

No, I don't want you to come here.

I want you to be there with Katie.

No, I don't want you to bring her.

Emma, maybe...

This is not a safe place for my daughter right now, Dad.

This is an insane place.

If... If you love me, if you love her,

then you'll just keep her there.

Right, and I'll deal with Mom.

And then I'll come home. Please, Dad, just... Just do this for me.

Okay. Give her a kiss for me. I'll check in later.

Yeah, I'm sorry about Mom, too.

Love you. Bye.

(STAMMERS) You know, Em, Norman's in prison. It's completely safe here.

I think that maybe, you know, it would help if Will brought her up here.

Who would it help? Me? You?

No, what I mean is, this is hard enough already.

I'm not gonna bring her here just so we can feel a little bit better

about Norman murdering my mother.

Okay. All right, I got it.

There's no other way to say it, Dylan.

It is what it is. I know.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Now a bad time?

Yeah, it's gonna be a bad time for a while.

I wanted to give you an update on Norman.

Look, I... I really... I don't want an update. Okay, we...

We have a lot going on right now,

and Norman is not at the top of the list.

Well, he should be.

Emma, this is Julia. This is Norman's lawyer.

I see.

Uh, is it okay if I step outside and talk to her for five minutes?

About what? Norman's defense?

He's guilty, in case you were under any illusions.

I am very sorry for the loss of your mother, Emma.

And I'm sorry your job's now a lot harder.

I know this is a difficult time...

Oh, has your brother-in-law ever killed your mother?

Allegedly.

(SLAMS)

Look, you, uh, you have your money.

Please, just don't... Don't involve us in this anymore, okay?

They've charged him with a capital offense, Dylan.

Do you know what that means?

That means he could be facing the death penalty.

Lethal injection.

You know, it's one thing to wish your brother dead,

and another one to have it happen.

What do you want from me?

Norman has a preliminary hearing tomorrow.

I've heard his charges are public,

so, I'm anticipating an audience

and it would look really good for him

if you were behind him, literally.

I'll hold a seat for you behind the defense table.

Look, I... I had to tell my wife that her mom was dead this morning.

Okay? And that my brother "allegedly" killed her.

I can't do what you're asking.

Yesterday, you told me your brother

belonged in a mental institution.

You said, "He's not bad. He's just crazy."

And I thought that was really persuasive.

I believed you.

I believe you even now more that I've met Norman.

But, you know, no one's gonna want to see his illness

once they see the evidence of his crimes.

They need to see his connection to humanity.

And you might not like it right now, but that's you.

You are what he's got.

Sorry, big brother. Sometimes it sucks to be family.

Hearing's at 1 :00 p.m.

(FOOTSTEPS RECEDING)

Can you repeat the address?

Okay. Okay, thanks for calling.

What's up? Uh, the medical examiner called.

They're releasing my mother's remains to a funeral home.

I've got to go make the arrangements.

I'll go with you.

Sorry, I just want to be on my own.

Okay.

Are you going to the hearing?

Not if you don't want me to.

I can't tell you what to do about your family.

(DOOR SHUTS)

WOMAN: How will you want to be handling your mother's remains?

I don't know. What are... What are the options?

Burial or cremation. I don't know what your finances are.

Cremation is much more economical.

That'll be fine.

This is your mother, correct?

Biologically, yeah. I didn't really know her that well.

Sometimes, those are the hardest losses.

WOMAN: Did she have any religious affiliations?

She belonged to the Church of Herself.

I understand you do most of the local funerals.

Yes, we do.

Did you do Norma Bates' funeral?

WOMAN: We did, in fact. Is... Is she buried here?

She was more of a mother to me than my own.

I... I regret I couldn't come. No one told me about it.

She is buried here.

Her son killed my mother.

I'm so sorry, Norma.

(SIGHS)

I miss you.

(SONG PLAYING ON RADIO)

(ENGINE SHUTS OFF)

'68 or '69?

Your Fury.

Oh, uh, it's a '68.

Are you sure about that? Yeah.

It looks like a '69 on account of the trim.

Uh, no, it's a '68.

No, you're right. It's... It is a '68, all right. Yeah.

It was the last year they, uh, did the taillights like that.

Yeah, no, I know. Hmm.

Well, have a nice day.

Yeah. You, too.

(ENGINE TURNS OVER)

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Don't these people have anything better to do?

Eyes front, Norman.

They can't make as many judgments about the back of your head.

And remember, simple answers to the judge.

Say, "Your Honor." Yeah, got it.

All rise.

The Honorable Judge Sybil Meredith Gollmar presiding.

JUDGE GOLLMAR: Please be seated and come to order.

We are here in the matter of The State of Oregon vs. Norman Bates,

docket number 386.

This is a preliminary hearing.

Would counsel please identify themselves?

Uh, Dan Tapley for the State, Your Honor.

Julia Ramos, representing Norman Bates.

Would the defendant please stand?

Are you Norman Bates, the individual named

in the complaint of this matter?

Yes. Yes, Your Honor.

And do you authorize Julia Ramos to speak for you today?

I do, Your Honor.

You are charged with three counts of murder in the first degree.

Maximum penalty you would face upon conviction is death.

Do you understand?

I do, Your Honor.

You are entitled to a preliminary hearing

upon which the State is required to present

evidence establishing probable cause.

Do you want a probable cause hearing?

We do, Your Honor.

Is the State ready to proceed?

The State is ready, Your Honor.

Go ahead.

The State calls Sheriff Jane Greene to the stand.

(SOFT INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

SHERIFF: Dr. Jackson concluded that Mr. Blackwell

was fatally wounded by multiple

stab wounds to the neck and chest.

And Ms. Ellis died of strangulation.

DAN: And the third victim?

Sam Loomis' body was discovered in a well.

Also, multiple knife wounds to the neck and chest.

He bled into his lungs and died of asphyxiation.

(SOBS)

DAN: So, what is the link between the victims and Norman Bates?

SHERIFF: The victims have almost nothing in common,

except for their unfortunate encounters

with the Bates Motel, and with its proprietor, Norman Bates.

Jim Blackwell was in prison with Norman's stepfather, Alex Romero.

(VOICE FADING) Sam Loomis was married to a woman

that Norman was infatuated with, Madeleine Loomis.

And Audrey Ellis was the mother-in-law

of Norman's brother, Dylan Massett.

(DOORS CREAKING SHUT)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I'm so sorry.

Are you?

Yes.

I let Norman into our lives. That was me.

Sam's a piece of evidence in there because of me.

But Norman only tricked me for a couple weeks.

I mean, how did he trick you for your whole life?

You knew. You're his brother. You knew.

How can you live with yourself?

Where have you been?

I've been worried sick that you were dead in a ditch somewhere.

Okay, I need you to find your... Where have you been?

It doesn't matter where I've been. Where's your computer?

I need to find your... Why?

I... I need to go online. I need... Why?

I need to find out where that bastard's being held!

Why didn't you tell me Norman Bates was arrested?

Because I didn't think you needed to know.

Come on, Maggie!

Putting a bullet through his brain is the only thing

that's kept me alive these last two years. And now, I can't get at him.

Alex, don't do this. Let the... Let the law handle it.

Oh, yeah, the law. Yeah, they know what they're doing.

I want him dead. I want to do it myself.

Okay, Alex, look, you loved his mother.

No mother would want that to happen to her son.

She's dead. She doesn't have a say in it.

No, Alex, please, please, listen to me. Listen to me.

You've always been a good friend to me.

My family has a cabin in Montana that's abandoned.

No, no. No, we can go there. We can assume different identities.

I know Norma's death broke you,

but I can live with you broken.

I can take care of you.

Please, Alex, you're heading down a dark road.

Let me help you. Please.

(SOFTLY) All right, goodbye, Maggie.

Hey. I was worried.

(EXHALES) I was taking care of my mom.

I'm gonna go home tomorrow. I want to be with Katie.

I understand.

I went to the hearing, Emma.

I understand.

Emma?

I don't know. I don't know, Dylan. Let's not talk now.

(BAG ZIPPING)

You're leaving now? Yeah.

Yeah, I'm gonna go home where it's normal.

Okay.

Bye.

Can I help you?

I'm here to see Norman Bates.

Just wait here a moment.

(SOFTLY) Um, there's someone here to see Norman Bates.

(LOCK BUZZES, CLICKS)

Hello, Emma.

I guess I know why you're here.

You do?

Because I'm not sure I do.

Well, it's about your mother, I imagine.

They think I killed her.

I think you did, too, Norman.

No, I wouldn't kill anybody, Emma.

You know that.

It's me.

Norman.

Your Norman, your friend.

Where's Norman?

I am sorry about your mother, Emma.

She wasn't nice.

She was using Norman and she was using you.

She didn't deserve to die.

Death isn't about deserving. It's just part of the deal.

She made her own bed.

You... You know that better than anyone.

Can I talk to Norman?

Well, Norman's sleeping.

In his room.

There's an apple pie in the oven.

And when he wakes up, he'll smell it baking

and know that everything's okay.

Well, can you tell him something for me?

Can you tell him that I miss him?

(DOOR BUZZES)

(DOOR SLAMS SHUT)

(GASPS)

Easy, easy, easy. Easy.

Sorry to drag you into this.

What do you want, Alex?

Norman Bates. Let's go.

Hey, couldn't stay away, huh? Get 'em up. Up.

Get 'em up. Get in there. Go, go.

Open it.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Nobody move. Nobody move. Up, up, up, hands up, now. Hands up.

Get up. And get in the back.

What the hell is this, Romero?

Get in the back. Shut up and get in the back.

Okay, on the floor, face down. Hands on your heads. Let's go, everybody.

Let's go. You, too, Davis, let's go.

I never saw him coming. No talking!

Where's your sheriff? Uh...

Where's your sheriff, Miller?

Uh, she's in... She's in the field.

Is there anyone else here? No.

Okay, collect their firearms.

Nice and easy, thumb and forefinger only.

Slide them over to me. Let's go.

Let's go.

Slide it over. Next one.

Throw that one in the trash.

Let's go.

MILLER: What do you want, Romero?

I want you to shut the hell up.

(WHISPERS) He's here for Norman Bates.

What did I just say? What did I just say?

Get 'em up. Get 'em up.

(GUNSHOT) (REGINA YELPS)

On your feet! Everyone up!

Move into my office now! Go!

Stay tight.

I said, tight. Tight.

(DOOR BUZZES)

ROMERO: Up, keep 'em up.

Wait, hey, what's happening?

Hello, Norman. Open it, open it.

What's he doing here?

In, everyone in. Go, go!

No, not you. You're coming with me.

Okay, you, out. Get out.

No, thanks. I'm staying put. All right, get him out.

Come on.

Lock 'em. Lock 'em in!

(CHOKING) No. No.

Let him go, Romero, you're gonna kill him!

(GUTTURAL CHOKING)

(GROANING AND COUGHING)

Come on.

In the front, Regina.

Where'd you get this car?

Move over. Now, get in the back.

Now, slide behind the wheel and start it.

What do you want with us, Alex?

You're gonna take me to her body.

Drive.
