Fairvale thought the nightmare had ended — but in truth, it was only beginning.

In this episode, we move deeper into the life and crimes of Norman Bates, tracing the path from his first known murders to the chilling discoveries that would leave investigators reeling.

We’ll examine the strange duality that defined him — the polite young man who served guests breakfast by day, and the disturbed figure who carried out unspeakable acts by night.

Through police reports, witness accounts, and recovered evidence from the Bates property, we uncover how Norman’s devotion to his mother twisted into something deadly, and how “Mother” herself seemed to live on long after her death.
