Why did Norman hire Duke?
There is one thing I didnt understand. Why did Norman want hired help esecpially
someone like Duke. I have 2 reasons why this didnt make sense
1. The motel hardley ever pulls any decent buisness. Not nearly enough to warrent wanting extra help
2. Norman was so desperate to keep "Mother" a secret. He knew the police were
looking for her (wont spoil it for you watch Psych 2-3 for who this mother is)
Wouldnt he be scared a hired hand would discover his secret.
Can anyone make sense of this?

Not sure if I should put this, since you shouldn't be reading this unless you've seen the film, but in case you haven't seen the film...
****SPOILER ALERT****
I do believe the original idea for part III was to have Duke use Mother for ransom like in the movie, but unlike how it plays out in part III, he was to be doing the murders himself, and was later rewritten to have Norman doing the murders, probably because of the fact that, if you believe the ending of part II, Norman's not doing the murders. Which is also why the reporter tells him that Mrs. Spool is not his mother, but his aunt.

I just watched the film recently and I still think it was a risky move on Norman's part

1. Prior to hiring him, Norman explicitly mentions to Duke the upcoming Fairvale homecoming party and says it's bound to be busy. And Duke mentions he can only stay for a little while. Hence Norman probably only hired him on for the party. (And indeed, Duke ended up running the whole thing, didn't he?)
2. Again, Duke was only going to be around for a little while. And judging from Norman's response to this, I think he imagined that if Duke got out of hand, Mother would take care of it, and that would be that. But I also think Norman supposed that if someone else - a stranger - were living at the motel, Mother would behave herself.
