Norman Bates, now seemingly rehabilitated and living a quiet life with his wife, is haunted by his past. When he hears a radio program discussing matricide, hosted by Fran Ambrose, Norman is triggered and calls in, using an alias, to recount his traumatic childhood and the events that led to his first murder. His confession becomes a desperate attempt to prevent history from repeating itself, as he fears he may pass on his murderous tendencies to a child.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
