As we go back to the diner, Tracey Venable has just decided to interview Norman Bates, much to his disliking. She came from L A and writes for the Costal magazine. As they are talking a cab over engine Ford pulls up and lets out a rider named Maureen Coyle, the lady who deserted the nunnery earlier. As she comes into the diner Norman sees the initials on her suitcase....M. C. The same as Marion Crane, (Janet Leigh), in Psycho I. This has a deep effect on Norman and he gets up and leaves the diner. Maureen asks the waitress if there is a reasonable place to stay in the area.
Back at the motel Norman has Duke on duty in the office when he sees Maureen walking up the road and sells her a room for $25.95, the price of a double room. Duke pockets the extra $5. She goes into her room and slides into a suicidal depression. She is spied upon by Norman through a hole in the wall of his parlor later and she cuts her wrists. Norman dressed as his mother comes in with a knife and discovers her and decides to save her. An ambulance is called and she is taken to St. Matthew's Hospital.
The next scene is at St. Matthews Hospital. con't
