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.

know anything about this?

No.

I don't see any point in

either of you stayin' around

Fairvale any longer, do you?

Have we broken some law?

None that are on the books,

but a whole hell

of a lot of them that aren't.

Like all the ones having to do

with right or wrong.

I'd say you and your mother

just about

broken every one of those,

wouldn't you?

I didn't mean to.

Well, that's what

Norman said 20 years ago.

Only he was crazy.

Now, what's your excuse?

I guess I don't have one.

Well, I'll just say goodbye

to you now then.

I expect it to be

for the last time.

Sheriff.

I said goodbye,

Miss Loomis.

Sheriff, there's a car

down here.

Anybody in it?

I can't tell.

It's stuck in the mud.

Well, get a winch line down

to it and get it out of there.

All right,

we found a car.

Doctor?

What are you doing here?

I followed Lila Loomis

from her hotel to your house.

She came down here.

Oh.

Where is she?

I don't know.

But she was here.

It proves she was the one

that was dressing up

as your mother.

How?

If she wasn't

gonna do it again,

why would she sneak

into your house?

But she wasn't the woman

I saw in the window.

She wasn't?

No.

Then who was?

That was my mother.

Norman, your mother's dead.

Remember the open coffin?

Mrs. Bates only

took care of me.

My real mother is somebody

completely different.

How do you

know this, Norman?

She told me on the phone.

Norman, I've already

proved to you

that Mary and Lila Loomis

were the ones

who were calling you.

Would you accept the fact

that you have no other mother

than Mrs. Bates?

Of course.

Then that's what I'll do.

It would be a great load

off my mind.

Okay, everybody stand back.

That's it.

Keep it comin'.

Looks like Toomey's car,

doesn't it?

That's it, a little more.

We'll check inside

before we open the trunk.

All right.

That's it.

Do you recognize it?

Okay, hold it right there.

Well?

Sheriff, it's empty.

Don't you have

some place else to go?

Open the trunk.

Watch out,

Mike.

Oh, Jesus.

Norman. Norman!

What is it?

They found a car

in the swamp.

Who? I don't know who it is.

They just found a car.

Isn't that enough? For what?

For them to arrest you!

I'll get your jacket!

Come on.

We're getting out of here.

How?

I don't know. We'll hitch

a ride until we get a car.

Where would we go?

Somewhere,

anywhere, Norman.

Please hurry.

They'd catch us.

You're right.

So what's the point

of going?

Because it's my fault.

If my mother and I

had left you alone,

you would've been fine.

Nobody'd be dead,

and I'd just be

a dumb psych student

with nothing on mind

but having a good time.

It's not your fault.

Then whose fault is it?

My mother's.

She's the one

who's been doing the killing

to protect me.

She told me so herself.

Oh, Norman.

You're mad,

don't you know that?

You're mad as a hatter.

Should I answer it?

Why bother?

It's only my mother,

poor thing.

She shouldn't be calling.

She should be sitting back

and gloating.

I better answer it.

Hello?

Norman, this is Dr. Raymond.

I just found Lila Loomis' car

parked down the road.

I'm calling you

from the motel parlor.

The calls that

you've been receiving

from your fictitious mother

have been placed

right here.

Lila Loomis has used

this phone to call your house.

Yes.

L... I understand.

Mother?

Norman,

this is Dr. Raymond.

I've been waiting

for your call, Mother.

Hello. Lila?

Lila...

She's hung up.

No, Mother.

Mary's still here with me.

I like her.

No.

No, of course not.

Not as much as you.

No, I...

I won't do that.

You can't make me

kill her.

Do I have to, Mother?

But why?

Why do I

have to kill her?

Oh, no, Mother, please.

Please don't make me...

Oh, Mother,

How can you even think

such a thing?

I can never do

anything like that.

I don't think you understand

about Mary, Mother.

She's really very kind.

I trust her.

She would never do anything

to hurt me.

Norman? Norman.

Do you recognize me?

It's me, your mother.

Yes, Mother.

And since I'm standing here

in front of you,

I can't very well be

on the phone, can I?

So hang up the phone,

Norman. Hang up.

Yes, Mother.

Norman, put the phone down

this instant!

Norman, this is your mother.

Norman, can you hear me?

Norman.

Norman, are you there?

Norman, please say something.

Norman.

Norman.

Got you!

Norman!

Norman, I...

I didn't mean to do it. L... I...

I thought he was you.

It's all right, Mother.

Norman, I'm not your mother.

It's all right.

Norman, I am not your mother.

I am Mary.

How many times

have you killed?

How many times

have I told you...

Norman, look,

I am Mary.

They're gonna come for you,

Mother, just like they did before.

Stay away from me.

And I'll cover up for you.

Now give me the knife.

Stay away.

I always have,

because I'm your dutiful son.

Stay away.

And you're my loving mother.

So, please give me the knife.

It's time to go to the fruit

cellar now, Mother.

Norman, stay away.

Mother, I don't want to...

Norman, now, look.

I don't want

to hurt you, Mother.

You're coming.

In there, Mother, hurry.

Norman, please stop.

You... You need help.

You're losing blood.

You did it.

They're here.

Let me help you.

You killed them all.

Freeze!

The County Sheriff

and the DA

have come down

from Bakersfield

to confer with Sheriff Hunt.

Is that loud enough, guys?

Yeah, that... that's good.

Move over to your left.

I'll get the City Hall

in the background.

Okay, we'll go in

Five, four, three...

You want to read

through this

and make sure

it's exactly what you said.

Yeah, that's...

No, wait a minute.

She didn't say that.

She said

if she didn't stay away,

she'd be sorry.

Sorry.

Not that

she'd kill him?

Can I get a cup of coffee? In a minute.

Everybody's getting

coffee around here.

...the suspect,

uh, wielding a big knife...

...the victim.

I drew myself...

So, she and her mother

were trying to put Norman

back in the asylum.

Well, that much

we know for sure.

Then somethin' went wrong

between them.

What?

They had a fight.

She wanted Lila

to leave Norman alone,

but she wouldn't.

We have a witness

that heard the whole thing.

So she murdered

her own mother over Norman?

Looks like it.

What about the bodies

in the swamp?

The boy

and that motel manager?

Mary and Lila Loomis did it.

They tried to blame

the murders on Norman.

Or maybe only the daughter

did it.

She definitely

killed Dr. Raymond.

I'll tell you, If you had seen

Mary Loomis at the end,

you wouldn't

have questioned it.

She'd gone mad.

Dressed up in Norman's

mother's clothes and a wig,

trying to kill Norman,

and him hardly even able

to defend himself any longer.

Right till the end,

she kept saying

Norman was the one

who was crazy.

It was horrible.

What about it, Norman?

Are you ready to go home?

Lt'll all be in my report

tomorrow, gentlemen.

Uh, let's go out

the back.

Mrs. Spool.

Hello, Norman.

Come in.
