[[File:Psycho House, Motel and car composite.jpg|thumb|right|350px|The "Psycho" set still stands on the [[Universal Studios Hollywood|Universal lot]]. At the time this picture was taken (1997), the car driven by [[Janet Leigh]] in the film was parked in front of the motel.]]
Owner [[Norman Bates]] tells Marion he rarely has customers because of a new highway nearby, and mentions he lives with his [[Norma_Bates_(Psycho)|mother]] in the house overlooking the motel. He then shyly invites Marion to have supper with him. She overhears Norman arguing with his mother about his supposed sexual interest in Marion, and during the meal Marion angers him by suggesting he institutionalize his mother. He admits he would like to do so, but does not want to abandon her.
Marion resolves to return to Phoenix to return the money. As she undresses in her room, Norman watches through a peephole in his office wall. After calculating how she can repay the money she has spent, Marion flushes her notes down the toilet and begins to shower. Suddenly, an anonymous figure, presumably Norman's mother, enters the bathroom and stabs Marion to death. Norman finds the corpse, and immediately assumes that his mother committed the murder. He cleans the bathroom and places Marion's body, wrapped in the shower curtain, and all her possessions – including the money – in the trunk of her car and sinks it in a swamp.
