Psycho II Page #4

Then who did it?

I did.

Several days ago.

Hey, Norman?

I just hate a dirty house,

don't you?

Why is this open?

I don't know.

You better put a padlock

on it

before someone

robs you blind.

You know why Norman doesn't

come down here, don't you?

No, I don't.

He used to keep

his mother's corpse down here.

Stole it from the grave.

Talked to himself

in her voice,

answering in his own.

What do you think of that?

It's horrible.

That's right, it was.

Now, let me ask you again.

Are you positive

you cleaned up down here?

Yes.

All right.

Mike?

Yeah?

Let's go.

Are you sure

that neither one of you

heard anything this afternoon

between 4:
00 and 5:00?

I don't know.

But I was...

He was with me

all afternoon.

We were walking

in the fields.

Goodbye.

Nice to see you again,

Norman.

Why did you do that?

Do what?

Lie to the Sheriff?

You weren't with me

this afternoon.

I had to do something.

He was going to arrest you.

Norman.

It's starting again.

Sheriff Hunt?

Yes.

I-I'm Lila Loomis.

I used to be Lila Crane.

Oh, yes, of course.

What a coincidence.

I was just thinkin'

about you and Sam.

How is he?

My husband is dead.

I'm sorry.

Well, what brings you

back to Fairvale

after all these years?

Norman Bates.

Where is he?

He's out at his motel,

I suppose.

Why haven't you

arrested him?

What for?

For murder.

It's all over town

what he did to that boy.

Mrs. Loomis, I can't arrest

a man without proof.

Especially one

with an alibi.

What alibi?

There's a girl staying

out there with him

and she says

that he was with her

at the time

the murder took place

if there was a murder.

Oh, well, what do you mean

"if there was a murder"?

Well, what I mean is

that I am not convinced

that anybody was killed.

There's no body.

No corpus delicti.

So let's just wait

and see

if the boy

comes home tonight.

Have you dragged

the swamp yet?

What?

The swamp?

That's where he dumped

his victims the last time.

Have you dragged it yet?

No, ma'am.

Well, then I suggest

you start,

before there

are more murders.

Unless, of course,

you want it

on your conscience.

What's her problem?

I don't know.

But if Norman Bates

is crazy,

there are a whole lot

of people around here

runnin' him

a close second.

Are you sure

you're all right?

Yeah. I'm fine.

What you need is one of

my special Irish coffees.

Is there any brandy

in the house?

I don't know.

My mother

doesn't allow liquor.

Mr. Toomey was a drinker,

wasn't he?

Did he leave a bottle

in the office?

I don't know.

I didn't look.

I'll be right back.

You rest here.

Hello?

Why did you lie

to the Sheriff

and say Bates was with you

this afternoon?

Mother. What are you

doing here?

Go back to the hotel

before you ruin everything.

Answer my question?

Why did you alibi Bates?

I didn't alibi him.

Don't lie to me.

I talked to the Sheriff.

Why did you do it?

Because Norman couldn't have

murdered that boy.

Why not?

He saw me in the window

like we planned,

then he went in to the room

and saw the stuff.

Then when he went

looking for her,

I locked the attic door

behind him.

He was trapped in there

for hours

while I took everything

down the back stairs.

So, you see,

he couldn't have done it.

What difference

does it make?

We want him re-committed.

This would have done it.

Mother, he's innocent.

Innocent? He killed

your aunt, didn't he?

Not to mention

the six other people.

Mother, that was 22 years ago.

Mary, people don't change.

He must have

gotten out somehow.

Mother, I was wrong.

I don't think

he drilled that hole

in the bathroom wall.

Of course he did.

Mother, listen to me.

I think there's someone else

in the house.

Don't be stupid.

It's just Bates

up to his old tricks again.

It can't be Norman.

He isn't like that anymore.

Maybe if you knew him now.

It's just that

he's trying so very hard

to do what's right

to keep his sanity.

And that hardly

seems fair for us

to be doing

what we're doing to him.

You're as crazy as he is.

We'll talk later.

Norman needs me.

Norman needs you?

A psychopath needs you?

Look, go back to your hotel.

We'll talk later.

He'll kill you.

You know that, don't you?

He'll murder you just like

he did all the others.

Mary!

My God, what happened?

I don't know.

Jesus. How did that

get in there?

After I killed that kid

in the cellar,

I used it

to clean up the mess

and then, then I flushed it

down there.

You didn't kill anybody.

You were locked in the attic.

It wasn't locked.

You said so yourself.

Norman,

stop talking nonsense.

I told you,

you didn't kill anybody.

Then how do you

explain this?

Well?

I can't.

Did you clean up the cellar

the way you told the Sheriff?

No.

Somebody did.

And with that towel,

after they killed that kid.

Norman,

it couldn't have been you.

How can you be so sure?

Even I don't know.

I always used black out

when l...

Because you couldn't.

You don't have it in you,

not anymore.

Norman, look,

why don't you go downstairs

and make us a drink, okay?

And I'll clean this up.

Norman.

Yes.

Uh, the tea kettle's boiling.

Oh.

Okay.

What happened?

Up there.

I saw someone staring at me.

There's no one there now.

Someone was watching me

through that hole.

They're in the house

right now.

Where'd you get

that thing?

L... I had it

in my purse.

My mother gave it me

when I was...

Oh.

Come on.

Uh...

You take the downstairs,

I'll check up here.

Well, shouldn't we

stick together?

Don't worry,

I've got this.

It's because of me, isn't it?

That's why you have it.

Of course not.

Hurry up,

they'll get away.

Mrs. Lila Loomis,

Room 15, please.

You're sure

she hasn't come back?

There'll be no message,

thank you.

Okay, Mother,

where are you?

Norman.

What is it?

It's my mother.

She's downstairs.

Did you see her?

You're sure you heard her?

Come on.

No.

She'll kill you.

I know she will.

Norman, your mother's dead.

You killed her.

You told me so yourself.

I was wrong.

She survived.

And now,

she's downstairs,

waiting for you.

Norman, it couldn't

be your mother.

No.

No, it... it had to be

someone else.

Whoever it is that's trying

to drive you crazy again.

Yeah?

Yes.

So, let's go downstairs

and find...

No!

It's too dangerous.

Let's wait till morning.

What are we gonna do

until then?

I'll protect you.

You'll be okay.

I'll... I'll be fine right here.

It was always safe here

at night.

Norman, listen...

No!

Okay.

We'll spend the night

in here.

You can

use the sleeping bag.

What are you doing, Norman?

Norman, put the knife down.

Nobody's gonna come

in the door.

They're not?

No.

Okay.

Mary.

Yes.

I'm becoming

confused again, aren't I?

Of course not.

Don't lie to me. Not you.

Yes, Norman, you are

becoming confused again.

Just

don't let them take me back

to the institution, all right?

Don't worry, Norman.

I won't.

You smell good.

I do?

Yeah.

What do I smell like?
