Sheriff Al Chambers
Your detective told you he couldn't come right back because he was goin' to question Norman Bates' mother. Right?
Lila Crane
Yes.
Sheriff Al Chambers
Norman Bates' mother has been dead and buried in Greenlawn Cemetery for the past 10 years!
Mrs. Eliza Chambers
I helped Norman pick out the dress she was buried in. Blue Bay.
Sheriff Al Chambers
It ain't only local history, Sam. It's the only case of murder and suicide on the Fairvale ledgers. Mrs. Bates poisoned this guy she was... involved with... when she found out he was married. Then she took a helpin' of the same stuff herself. Strychnine. Ugly way to die.
Mrs. Eliza Chambers
Norman found them dead together... [whispers] in bed.
