The old friend then asks the woman to meet him in the basement for a special preview. She goes in the elevator. Meanwhile, the friend is accosted by a former partner, who is a criminal. He is angry because he was refused entrance to the party. After a short argument, he stabs the friend in the neck, killing him. Claire sees the killing as she steps out of the elevator. The killer pursues her, but she manages to get back into the elevator just in time.
