All language subtitles for Bates Motel (2013) - S04E07

NARRATOR: Previously on
Bates Motel...

Are you Emma's mom?
I am.

What are you doing here?

I have something for Emma,
and it doesn't concern you.

There's something
I need to get to Emma,

and her father won't
let me see her.

Could you give it to her?

NORMA:
No, I can't do that.

It's funny, you and I,
that we're here,
and we're happy.

It's like
I'm watching a movie,
but it's not a movie.

(HEAVY BREATHING)

DR. EDWARDS: When a child
experiences trauma,

they create other personas
who can deal with it better.

She doesn't want me
to talk to you.

Why don't you want him
to talk for himself?

Because there's things
that he does not need
to remember,

and I have worked very hard
to make him forget
about these things,

and I don't need you
undoing it.

Don't make him
remember these things,

or I will have to do
something about it.

It happened again?

You blacked out
in our session yesterday.

Norman, um,

one thing therapists don't
always like to tell their
patients is that sometimes,

for things to get better,
they have to feel
worse first.

I can't make that
not true for you,

but I can make sure
you don't starve.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Good morning.

Very good morning.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Alex?

Do you mind?
Oh, no.

Yeah, I'll start
the coffee.

What are you making?

Self-portrait.

(CHUCKLES)

I need some air.

I don't know who thought
it was a good idea

for a bunch of
medicated psychos

to spend the morning
inhaling glue.

Nice cat, by the way.

It's a dog.

It's cute
that you care.

How is it going?
Fine.

Oh, hey. There you are.
Hi.

Heading to work.
What you got there?

I was thinking about
making some new curtains

for the kitchen and
maybe the living room.

Wanted to since
I moved in.

I thought maybe if I buy
the fabric wholesale
and do it myself...

You're gonna
make curtains.

Yeah, I use to make
my own clothes
in high school.

This house is so cool.
I mean, look at this.

Look at this. This is
a frickin' fruit cellar

if you just wiped
all this junk away.

I always wanted to plant
more fruit trees
and preserve fruit.

There's so much
I want to do.

Well, we could do that.
I'll help you.

Really?
Yeah.

Yeah, well,
I can't make curtains,
but I can plant a tree.

Yeah, I'll start
this weekend.

All right. I gotta go,
but just start thinking about

what kind of fruit trees
you want to pick,

and I'll go buy them
and whatever else you need.

Yeah?

Alex?
Yeah?

Don't worry about it.

What? Why?

It's, uh...

I don't want you
spending your money on it.

That's not what
I was asking.

Come on. I don't mind.

Yeah, but that's not why
I brought it up.

It's so silly. I don't
really have any money.

You know,
we haven't really
had enough guests

since they put the road in
to even break even.

I'm behind on
a lot of bills,

so the last thing
I should be thinking about
is home improvements.

It's bad accounting.

Norma, why didn't you
tell me?

Because it's embarrassing.

I was so excited
when I first showed
Norman this place.

I had so many ideas
on how to fix it.

It's an amazing house,
and I just gave up on it,

but...

I feel like
taking it on.

So I'm gonna start
with the curtains,

and then we can work on it
one thing at a time.

There's no rush. Okay?

And I know things will
pick up in the spring,
and this...

What are you doing?

Remember that day
I told you

I was hiding a bunch
of money down here?

Yeah.

Well, I actually was.

(SNICKERING)

Open it.
(LAUGHS)

Where did you get this?

It was Bob Paris'
getaway cash.

Oh... No, I can't do that.

Well, it would help me
'cause I don't know
what to do with it.

Look, this money,
it doesn't belong
to anybody,

and who knows
how he got it?

And honestly, I couldn't
think of a better use for it

than to put it back out
in the world

through your hands.

You've had nothing
but bad breaks
since you moved here.

And you deserve
some good ones.

I mean, think of it like
it's like a balancing
of the scales.

Some positive karma.

Please take it.
It'll help me.

I wish we could just erase
all the bad things
that have happened.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Okay, what jerk
invented the phone?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, uh,
is my mother there?

Uh, yeah,
she's right here, Norman.

Hi, honey.

Everything okay, Mother?

Of course.
Why wouldn't it be?

Oh, the sheriff is there
answering your phone,

so I thought maybe
you were in trouble
or something.

No, no, uh,
the stained glass window

in the hallway needed
to be replaced,

so he just stopped by
and helped me put
a new one in.

Norman?

Mother, I'm coming home.

What do you mean?

I'm coming home.

As soon as I can.

(STUTTERS) Is that something
that you can just do?

I signed myself in
voluntarily. I can
leave whenever I want.

(MOUTHING) What?

Has something happened,
Norman?

No. No, no.

Well, Dylan said that
you were doing really well.

I mean, don't you think
it would be good to give it
a little more time?

Oh, well, Dr. Edwards
thinks I've made
significant progress

and it's time for me
to come home.

Is there some reason
I shouldn't?

Of course not.
I'm just surprised.

I'm sure you are.

I'll let you know
when you can pick me up.

NORMAN: I'd like to know
the procedure for checking
myself out, please.

I'm a voluntary
patient here.

I believe that means
I can go home whenever
I feel I'm ready.

Not exactly.

There are protocols.

Oh.

As a voluntary patient,
we ask that you write
what we call

a "three day letter"
formally requesting
your release.

We then have 72 hours
to assess

whether or not you meet
the release requirements.

What happens if
I just stop payment?

Well, you've already
been preapproved

by your insurance company
for three months.

My insurance?

Well, your stepfather's.

Yes, we had to pull
some strings to
get you approved

for coverage quite quickly.
Hmm.

Oh, I see.

Yes, you've arranged payment
with my stepfather.

I understand and
very much appreciate
you doing that.

Everyone here has been
so very thoughtful and kind.

Uh, but I'm leaving,

and so I will just go
and prepare the necessary
paperwork.

Norman.
Yeah?

Have you told Dr. Edwards
your wishes?

Not yet. I will.

Well, Dad,
you don't understand that
I can dictate the terms!

That's not
how it works with her.

She doesn't play
by any rules.

Emma, please.
Listen to me!

I know her.

I wish she was
a different person,
but she's not.

She's thinking
she's got a daughter
that may not die.

What that means to her,
who knows?

But I guarantee you
it's about her,
and not about you.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I, uh, brought
some breakfast.

We're fighting
about my mother.

It's not a fight.
It's a discussion.

Dylan, you can
back me up here.

Audrey was a mess
at the hospital, yeah?

You met my mother?

Dylan, please tell her.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't want
to upset you.

You, uh...

You left this.

Thank you.

(SIGHS)

So your, uh, dad finally
told you that she came
to the hospital.

I'm sorry
I didn't tell you myself.
I should have.

But your dad had really
strong feelings about her,

and she seemed...

She seemed complicated.

Her cell phone's
no longer in service.

What?
That's what we were
fighting about.

He told me
about the hospital,
and I tried to call her,

and it was one of these
automated messages

"This phone is no longer
in service" thing.

Well, maybe she got
a new number.

Yeah, or maybe
she forgot to pay the bill.

Or couldn't afford it.

Or just didn't
bother telling us
she changed it.

I can't help
that she's my mother
and she reached out,

and I want to see her,
but I just don't know
where she is.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Yeah?

Rebecca Hamilton
from the bank
is here to see you.

She says she has
your new checks.

Asked if she could give them
to you personally.

Yeah, that's fine.
Yeah. Have her come in.

That's what I thought
you'd say.

Hi.
Hi.

Uh, you busy?

No. Yeah, we're good.
Thanks.

Maybe not such a good idea
for you to be
showing up here.

I came here on
official bank business.

For your joint
checking account.

Alex Romero
and Norma Bates.

And I also
wanted to say goodbye.

You're leaving?
Yeah.

I'm going back
to Indiana, um,

to see my mom
who's not doing so well.

Nothing really
keeping me here.

Um, listen,
just so you know, uh,
everything that we discussed

worked out just fine,
so thank you.

Good. I'm glad.
Okay, but I told you
the DEA called me about you.

You might want to be sure
they don't need you

before you disappear
off the radar.

Alex, I need to leave.

I'm going back home
to see my sick mother.

However they want to
view that is up to them.

Anyway,

you take care
of yourself.

(KEYBOARD KEYS CLACKING)

DR. EDWARDS: Norman?

What are you doing?
We're supposed to
be having therapy.

I want to be discharged.

I am writing a letter
explaining my reasons,

but I understand that
I need your approval too.

I want to go home.

Can we talk about this?

Of course we can,
but I'm not changing
my mind.

I am willing to continue
working with you
on an outpatient basis,

as I explain in my letter,
but I just need to get home.

You know I have
the same goal for you.

We work together,

so you can safely re-enter
your home environment.

My blackouts have
actually increased
since I've been here.

Doesn't that
say something?

It does, and I know
it's not comfortable,

but it's because
we're doing the work.

With all due respect,
I can't remember
any of our work.

I would also like to start
medication immediately.

Norman...
No, you said

that it can help
control the blackouts.

Medication isn't
a guarantee that
I'll sign your release.

And what happens
if you don't?

I file an affidavit
with the court

saying that I think
you may be a danger
to yourself or others.

I am reasonably requesting
to be prescribed something

that you yourself have said,
in the past, might help me.

Are you now
refusing to do that?

Should I make a note
in my letter to that effect?

Finish your letter, Norman,

but we're not
done with this.

Hello?

(LOW RUMBLING)

Norma?

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(SEWING MACHINE RATTLING)

Norma?

Dylan!

Come in.
I'm making curtains.

Someone downstairs
is making jam.

I'm making that too.

And I'm gonna clean up
the basement after this.

Why all the sudden
home improvements?

Because Alex
is helping me
fix the place up.

I'm so excited.

I've wanted to for years,
and now I can do it.

Will you help me, honey?

Hey, I had a fun idea.

Why don't you and Emma
join me to get the tree
this year?

Hmm? You guys are
moving so soon.

I thought it'd be
a nice thing for us
to do together.

Yeah, sure.

That would be so great.

Okay.

Hey, how's Norman?

How's Norman?
Hmm?

Oh. Uh...

He said he wants
to come home.

I won't let him.
It's not time.
He's just homesick.

I'll talk some sense
into him when I see him
tomorrow.

You can't let him
come home.

That's what I just said.

Don't be dramatic.

(SEWING MACHINE RATTLING)

(MACHINE AND MUSIC BOTH STOP)

I need to
tell you something.

Oh, my God.
Did Emma die?

What? No. Jesus, Norma.

No, I just told you we'd go
to the Christmas tree thing.

Oh, right.

Did you know that
Norman had this letter?

It's meant for Emma.
It's from her mom.

And, uh, I found it here
the other day.

Here where?
In here. In Norman's room.

That's a weird place
for it to be.

Well...

Let me see it.

Do you think that maybe
she gave it to him when
she stayed at the motel?

Emma's mom stayed
at the motel?

Norma, her name was
in the computer.

What are you trying to do?
Trap mein a lie
or something?

Why are you lying to me?
Why didn't you just tell me

that Audrey stayed
at the motel?

I didn't want
to say anything

because the woman seemed
like she was a mess.

She was unstable.
Fishing for information
on Emma.

I didn't want to get
in the middle of it.

You know what? Fine.

But why did Norman
have this letter?

She tried to give it
to me too.

I wouldn't take it.
I guess she gave it
to Norman.

Wait, you mean
they were alone together?

You know that she never
officially checked out.

What are you
trying to say?

You know what
I'm trying to say.
Okay, so say it.

Say it out loud,
'cause it is gonna
sound really stupid.

Norma...
Say it, Dylan!

Norman has a...
He's got a violent side.

All right? And I think
that he does things,

and he doesn't know
that he's done them.

That's a pretty
liberal accusation

based on a whole
lot of nothing.

Seriously? I mean...
I... Okay.

I agree, this is weird
that it was in here,
but you know Norman.

He has so much empathy.
He was probably just
trying to help her out.

So I'd forget about it
if I were you.

Yeah, well,
you're not me, okay?

And I care about Emma,
and I'm not just gonna
let it go.

All right?
Audrey came by
the hospital,

and then she came here,
but now Emma hasn't heard
from her since,

and her phone's been
disconnected.

So, I'm trying
to find her.

Okay. Whatever.
Do what you think
you got to do.

Vaya con Dios.

Fine. I will.

And I wouldn't
let him come home.

I already said I wouldn't!

All right. Bye, Norma.

(NORMA MOANING)

(LOUD CLATTER)

Did you start your meds?

Yeah.

You sleep?

Not really.

Yeah, well,
that'll go away.

You may even sleep more.

I think I'll sleep better
when I'm home in my own bed.

Are you gonna
miss your mommy
tucking you in?

It's a joke, dude.
Lighten up.

I'm sorry
if you're homesick.

Oh, no.
I'm not homesick, Julian.
I'm going home.

Seriously?
Yep.

Dr. Edwards sign off
on your paperwork yet?

He will.

No, he won't.

Even if he did,
someone like you,

you're gonna
boomerang back here
in one, two months, tops.

That is, of course,
unless your family
freaks out

and dumps you
back here sooner.

"Someone like me?"

Yeah, I'm...

Look, I know you think
you're different,

playing all calm and nice,

but you don't wind up
in a place like this
just 'cause you're normal.

You're right, Julian.

I'm not normal.

But I'm also
not like you.

I may be crazy
like you are,
but I'm smart.

And I can get myself
out of this place
because I want to.

I know how to make
the world see me
as someone normal,

someone kind, someone nice,
and you just can't do that.

That's why you're never
gonna get out of here.

It's not that
I don't want him
to come home.

I just... I thought
therapy took time.

No, I don't think
he's ready to go home.

Oh! Okay.

I think this place is
good for him,

and I'm glad you're
gonna make him stay.

Norma, I'm not sure
you understand.

Norman does have the right
to check himself out

within the next 48 hours.

And the only way
I can circumvent that
is if I petition the court

and make a case as
for why he might be a danger
to himself or others.

He's not violent.

I didn't use
the word "violent."

I'm worried
about his blackouts.

Are they better?

Well, unfortunately,
I can't discuss that
with you,

but, if you have concerns,

you also have the option
to petition the court.

Take custody of Norman.

Make him
an involuntary admit.

So you want me
to be the bad guy?

No, I don't look at it
like that.

I'm just presenting you
with your options.

Mmm-mmm.

No way. No, no.

I couldn't do that to Norman.
No, I'm not gonna go
behind his back.

Would it help
if I spoke to him?

I'd be grateful
if you tried.

You think you might, like...
Would it be appropriate
for you

to give me some pointers?

Of course.
I'd be happy to.

(LINE RINGING)

Northern Rose Apartments.

Yeah, hi. I'm trying to reach
one of your tenants,
uh, Audrey Decody?

Oh, what a coincidence.
Soam ll.

Who are you?

I'm, uh, a cousin.

I'm just trying to reach her
about some family issues.

Well, when you find her,
tell her she's gonna have

some legal issues, too,
if she doesn't cough up

the four months of
back rent she owes me,

plus moving costs.

Moving costs?

Yeah, she was officially
evicted a week ago.

Had to hire movers
to haul her crap.

What did she leave?

Uh, everything.

Listen, are you looking
for an apartment?

Otherwise,
I've got stuff to do.

No, I'm good. Thanks.

What are you
doing here, Mother?

I can't leave yet.

There's a waiting period.
I said that I'd call you.

I know. I know.
I'm not here to pick you up.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm so proud of the work
that you're doing.

And...

Um, but as much as
I want you to
come home, too...

I think it might be worth it
if you give it more time.

And we were so lucky
to get you in this place.

"We"?
We. Yeah, "We."

We. You and me. We.

You know...

Dr. Edwards is
such a good doctor,

and, um...

And I know you've
been working hard,

but real change takes time,

and if you just work with him
just a little longer,

you'll be that much stronger
when you do come home.

All right?
That makes sense,
doesn't it?

It does.

I'm just wondering, Mother,
is this your idea
or your husband's?

I perfectly understand
that newlyweds often
want time alone.

Is that it?
If I come home now,

will I be in the way
of your honeymoon?

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

Don't embarrass yourself
by lying to me.

Okay.

Yes. (GRUNTS)

Okay.

It's not how it looks.
Norm... It's not what
you think.

Okay, I did it for
the medical insurance.
I don't believe you.

Norman, no.
Pineview is expensive.

You needed help,
and I did it for you.

He answered our phone.
Yes.

He was in our house.
Have you been
sleeping with him?

What are you
talking about?

I can't even believe
that you are asking me this.

I can't believe
you're doing it.

Don't look at me like that.
I can't bear it. Stop. Stop!

I did it for the insurance.
That's it. I swear, Norman.

That's all.
He is a public figure.

It has to look real.
That's all it is. I swear.

(STAMMERS) I love you.

Everything I have ever done,
I have done it for you.

You are my child.
You are my priority.

Then prove it.
How? What?

Let me come home.

But...

I don't think that
that's what's best for you.

Please, Mother.

(SIGHS)

Please. I've done
everything that you asked.

I came here,
and I stayed,

and I made an effort,
and I've made progress.

Even the doctor says so.

And I'm taking medication,
and I'll keep seeing
Dr. Edwards.

I just can't stay here.
I want to be home with you.

I need to come home, Mother.

(CRYING) Please.
Please let me come home.

(CRIES)

Oh, please.

(SIGHS)

Okay. Of course,
you can come home.

I'm so sorry.

(SIGHS)

You can come home.

Oh, thank you.

I'll keep seeing
Dr. Edwards, I promise.

That's how I knew your mom
was staying at the motel.

I tracked down
her landlord,

and she said that
she hadn't heard
from your mom,

and that your mom owed back,
like, four months' rent,

so they had to get rid
of her stuff and evict her.

Did you read this?

I think that, you know,

it seems like she wants
to get to know you
and make an effort.

What it says is that
she wants to tell me
about why she left.

What it means is that
she actually wants
to tell me

horrible things
about my dad.

Are you sure?

All that stuff
you found out about
the disconnected phone.

The back rent.
It all makes sense.

She's broke.

She wanted to make us
feel sorry for her
so that we'd bail her out.

She did it a few times
when I was little,

until my dad finally
told her to go to hell.

I can't keep pretending
like I don't remember that.

She's not
a very good person.

I'm such an idiot.

No, no.

No, it's fine.

I don't need someone
who doesn't want me.

(SNIFFLES)

I want you.

I love you.

Oh, Nurse Penny said
I could have
10 more minutes.

That's fine.

Just wanted
to talk to you.

May 1? Uh...

Of course.

I feel like
I owe you an apology.

Why?

You're smart.
You're capable.

You can understand
more than many of
my other patients,

and as a result,
I think I pushed you
too hard.

No, I...

It's fine.
I don't think you did.

A couple of days ago,
I felt we were
on the same page.

What changed for you?

Nothing changed.

I just think that
I'll be better served
being in my home environment.

Are you scared
to go home?

No. Of course not.

Look, I feel calmer already
on the medication.

Okay, so you're calmer,

but what if the blackouts
still happen?

I know what
you're doing.

What am I doing?

You're trying to scare me.

Don't you think
you should be scared, Norman?

When you have
these blackouts,

you become
a different person,

Norman, you move differently.

You speak differently.
You experience
the world differently.

You have different impulses.

Now, if that happened to me,
I'd be scared.

Well, I'm not you.

No. You, Norman,
are a kind,

sensitive, empathetic,
intelligent person.

You disassociate
because that version of you

hasn't been capable
of navigating your world.

Now, do you really feel
like you've done the work
to change that?

I don't know!

Do you want me to admit
I'm scared?

Yes, I'm scared.

I don't like that
I can't remember.
I don't like that I go away.

But I am also glad.

Glad that I'm taking
the medication,

I hope it helps
and mostly,

above everything else,
I am so glad that
I have you.

I don't want to lose you,
Dr. Edwards.

I don't want to leave here
and have you not care
about me.

But don't you think
that it's possible

that I might make
even more progress

if I'm near the person
who makes me feel complete

and whole and safe?

With you, and with her,
I really think
that I can get better.

I really, really do.

Will you please just
give me this chance?

All right.

Thank you.

We're going to start
with three sessions a week.

Three.
Of course.

I've got you, Norman.

I promise.

I'll sign your release.

Thank you, Dr. Edwards.

Good night, Norman.

(INDISTINCT TV CHATTER)

Surprise!

Yougota TV.

Yeah! Well, for you.

Okay, fine, it's for us.

(LAUGHS)

What? Oh, come on.

Well, you don't have
a decent one anywhere
in the house,

and I know how much
you like watching
old movies.

I thought you might
actually like seeing
the picture,

I got the 60", and look,
I picked up a couple of
these guys.

Well, what is it?
What's wrong?

I went to see Norman.
I told him he could
come home.

Why would you do that?

Because he's my kid,
and he really wants
to come home,

and he said that
he'd continue working
with Dr. Edwards.

Pineview's not close.

So I'll have to drive him.

Thanks for discussing it
with me.

Alex, please.
Please, please, please.
Don't be mad at me. Please?

You can't be mad.
I can't stand it.

I can't stand...
Please don't be mad.

Please?

I just couldn't
tell my own son
he couldn't come home.

He was desperate.
He was begging me.
He's my son.

What could I do?
No, I understand.

He found out
we're married too.
That's a part of it.

He was so vulnerable.
So scared.

I had to tell him
that it was just
for the insurance.

Norma...
I know. I know it's stupid,

but I just couldn't
tell him in the moment.

I was afraid that
it would undo
all of the progress

that he's done,
so I will tell him...

Soon. Okay?
But just not right away.

I've screwed everything up.

No, no.
Yeah, I have.

You brought me a big,
beautiful TV.

I've just screwed it up.

No, no. No, you haven't.

You did what you thought
was the right thing, okay?

You're a mother. I'm not.

I've never been a parent.

We're gonna get
through this. Okay?
And I'm going to help you.

And I'm going
to help Norman.

He's never had
a decent father figure
in his life.

He just...
He needs to adjust.

Okay?
You did the right thing.

He's your son.
I'm not trying to
get in the way of that.

Really?
Yes.

All right?
We'll handle this.

I love you.

You ready, Norman?
I am.

Come on.

Welcome home, Norman.

Thank you, Mother.
