In a locked and guarded room, the bodily shell of Norman Bates sits unmoving as "mother"'s voice dominates his mind. She desires to prove to the world how harmless she is with the aid of sitting absolutely nonetheless. A fly crawls on Norman's hand and he doesn't swat at it, honestly smirks because the voice of mom's personality gloats that everyone need to see that she would not even harm a fly.
In a very last photograph, a tow chain starts pulling Marion's vehicle out of the bog.
