A cheap wine glass from the caterers. You started crying. I tried to comfort you...
In the living room...
You shoved me away and ran out to the patio. I took you home.
But why? I can't understand how I could just completely
It was maybe a week after the accident. We were moving. It was a hard time.
But I don't remember.
Sweetheart, it was over a year ago.
What's wrong with me?
I may have seen her on campus.
Not personally.
No. I'm afraid to ask what this is about.
It's her. This is the woman who I've seen.
The...
Yes. The ghost.
I thought it was Mrs. Feur, but it's not...
Stop...
...I'm positive this time...
...Please stop...
It's Madison Fra
STOP IT!
I take it your not mad at me.
Wouldn't go that far.
Ow!
What's the matter?
It's too rough.
Since when?
I don't like this, this...
Why don't you shut up and fuck me, Professor.
I think she's starting to suspect something.
Who?
Your wife...
STOP IT!
"You know..."
What?
I was there.
Claire
I came to work in the garden and I saw you with her...in my house.
Oh God...
I snuck back to my car, trying to convince myself it never happened. And when I woke up in the hospital...somehow it hadn't. Until now.
It was last year. We were having troubles.
So you fucked a student?!
That's not what I'm sayi
DON'T touch me. Just get away from me. Go!
Claire, please don't...
What did you think I would do? Jesus Christ! I gave up my life and my music...
I never asked you to quit!
...Oh BULLSHIT. You had to topple perfect Daddy and that meant perfect wife, perfect family...
THAT'S NOT TRUE! You wanted to quit! And then when you did, you hated me for it... so you gave it all to her.
Who?
To Caitlin!!
Leave her out of this!
And then out of nowhere, some bright young woman found me attractive...
Stop...
...would do anything just to be around me. And I slipped. God help me, I slipped.
I'm not going to listen to this.
I tried to break it off!
You should have tried harder.
Claire...
Get out of my way.
She was damaged and unstable. The more I tried to distance myself, the more desperate she became. Finally, she showed up at the new house...
How did she know where it was?
She did it.
We don't know that for sure.
Of course she did, Norman. What else could it be?
We have to get out of here.
It's alright.
Can't you see, she's trying to kill us.
She's gone.
What?
She can't be here without me.
How can you be sure?
I don't know, but I am. She was there and then she was gone. I felt it.
Claire...
The leaves...
Incredible. We should take a drive before they're gone. Spend the night at some cozy little bed and breakfast.
Look for antiques...
Yep. There's some great places nearby.
Adamant.
What?
Little village down seven. Supposed to be charming.
Huh.
Do you know it?
Don't think so.
Maybe we can stop there for lunch.
What's that for?
Nothing.
I'm cooking you dinner.
You don't have to do that.
I know.
Fine. I'll do the shopping.
She's out there isn't she? She's in the lake.
Okay. Don't...you don't understand what this is.
Don't I, Norman? YOU KEPT THE FUCKING NECKLACE. Of a woman you killed!
I did NOT! I did not kill anyone. Jesus. Claire, listen to me. I walked in and she was lying there dead. I swear to you. On my life! She took pills and she killed herself in our house to destroy me! To destroy us! If I hadn't stopped by here before school, the painters would have
I don't believe you.
IT'S TRUE. That's...you have to believe me! Oh God, I'm telling you the truth! I did what I had to, Claire. She was gone. There was nothing I could do for her. I did...I put her in the lake. I rolled the car in...and I watched it sink. And I've lived with that image ever since. I couldn't just stand there while everything my career, us, everything, just washed away. Don't you see, Claire? She's doing this! This is exactly what she wants you to think!
Mmmuh...
Shhhh.
Mauduh...
What?
