Then she goes inside the hotel lobby, looks around, and sees a man wearing glasses.
He asks if she's Carol, and introduces himself as Michael.
It's a blind date set up by her friends.
He suggests that they have a drink before dinner, and she agrees.
Just then, a bell hop comes up to him and hands him a message.
He looks at the message and tells her that he has to go up to his room to make a phone call, and invites her up.
She agrees, and they go up to his suite, where he goes straight to the phone to make his call.
She wanders through the adjoining bedroom to the bathroom.
When she comes out, she hears voices coming from the other room.
A man is talking to Michael, and she waits in the bedroom for a while, listening.
She is able to hear the entire conversation, including one of the visitor's name.
Then, a gun shot is heard, and she immediately hides behind the door in the darkened bedroom.
She stays hidden for a while, and only leaves the bedroom when she's sure the visitors are gone.
Then she goes out into the main room, glances briefly at Michael's body, and leaves the hotel suite.

"Downtown," the cab driver repeats out loud to himself, and begins to drive away from the curb.
