Psycho II Page #6

Synopsis: Now declared legally sane, Norman Bates is released from a mental institution after spending 22 years in confinement over the protests of Marion Crane's sister Lila Loomis, who insists that he's still a killer and that the court's indifference to his victims by releasing him is a gross miscarriage of justice. Norman returns to his motel and the old Victorian mansion where his troubles started, and history predictably begins to repeat itself.

That was just

a practical joke.

Yeah, I guess so.

Oh, oh, oh, l-let me

take that.

No, no, no, that's all right. I can manage.

Uh...

Did you... Did you

have dinner yet?

Yes.

And I'm exhausted. I'm going to

bed right after I take a shower.

If that's all right

with you.

Oh, oh, sure.

Hey, wake up!

Hey, you nut guys there?

Hey!

Psycho!

Hey, hello, psycho!

I just want you to know

I'm moving out! Huh?

Hello?

W-What? Who is this?

My mother is dead.

Mr. Toomey, if this is you,

you're sicker than I ever was.

Bastard.

Bill!

Hi, Bill. I wasn't

expecting you till tomorrow.

Hi, Norman.

I got a call

from Mr. Statler.

He said you quit your job

at the diner.

Yeah. Well, I just figured I could

make more money with the motel.

You know, once I get... once I

get it back into condition that is.

What does Mr. Toomey think

about your plans?

Him? You know,

I fired him.

Y-Y-You know,

he was turning this place

into what I think

they call an "adult motel."

Oh, I see.

Well, there've been an awful lot of

changes in the week you've been back.

Yeah, yeah.

Any more notes

or phone calls?

Oh, no, no, no.

Who's that?

Where?

There, in the top window?

In the attic?

It looked like a woman.

Oh, oh, oh,

that must've been Mary.

Mary, who?

Oh, Mary. She works with me

at the diner.

She's been staying here, too.

Hmm?

Oh, it's nothing like that.

We're just, uh,

we're just friends.

Mary.

Hi, Mary. You look great.

Look, this is, uh,

this is Dr. Raymond.

He was my psychiatrist

in the institution.

Hello.

Hi.

Well, what do you think?

About what?

What Norman's doing. Has he

told you his plans for the place?

Some of them.

Well, I have to be going

to work.

Can I give you a lift?

Go ahead.

See you tonight.

So, what can I do

for you, Doctor?

Oh, thank you.

Are you familiar

with the Norman Bates case?

Very. I was deputy here

when Sheriff Chambers

arrested him years ago.

I re-read the file when I

found out he'd been released.

So, what's the trouble?

Bates dressing up

as his mother again?

No, nothing like that.

Although, Norman says that

somebody has been leaving notes

and making phone calls

claiming to be his mother.

Well, people. So, what do

you want me to do about it?

Put a tap on his phone.

Sorry, Doc,

I can't do that.

This is Fairvale, California,

not Washington, DC.

But I can check around and see who might

hate Norman enough to do something like that.

Anything else?

You could keep

an eye on Norman.

I have been.

All right, Sheriff,

here's my card,

in case you should need me.

Oh, there is

one other thing.

Why, of course, what?

He's got a girl

living with him.

Uh, Mary Samuels.
