As Phil swings between fury and cunning, his torment of Rose takes on a mysterious form – appearing in the corners of her vision, whistling a tune she cannot play on the piano. His mockery of her son is more overt, amplified by the cheers of Phil's cowboy disciples. It is then that Phil seems to take the boy under his wing…
