The youthful proprietor Norman Bates, nervous but friendly, invites her to a light dinner. After accidentally taking a wrong turn, she drives up to the Bates Motel, a remote lodge that has recently lost business due to a diversion realignment of the main highway. Driving up US 99 during the rainy night, she imagines conversations in her mind of her boss and the client discussing the stolen money, and becomes increasingly nervous. Upon arriving in Bakersfield, Marion pulls into a used car dealership to hastily exchange her car (a 1956 Ford Mainline), for another (a 1957 Ford Custom 300). On the road now in California, she pulls over at night to sleep but is awakened the following morning by a California Highway Patrolman he can tell something is wrong because of her furtive, anxious behavior. However, upon passing through downtown Phoenix on her way out of town, she is spotted by her boss as he crosses the street at a stopped traffic light, which unsettles her. She ultimately decides to steal it, leave Phoenix, and drive to (mythical) Fairvale, California, to give it to Sam.
Back at her room, Marion starts packing to leave for an undetermined time while contemplating taking the money. Marion then asks her boss if she can take the rest of the afternoon off, and that she was not feeling well. Her boss instructs her to promptly deposit the money in the bank, and she puts the money envelope in her purse. A client comes in with $40,000 in cash to purchase a house as a wedding gift for his daughter. Marion returns to work at a realtor's office. They discuss how they can barely afford to get married due to Sam's debts.
Marion Crane and her boyfriend Sam Loomis meet for a secret romantic assignation during a Friday lunch hour at a hotel in downtown Phoenix, Arizona.
