Unfortunately, the male nurse would later inform Birdie that the old woman died from her terminal illness. Birdie is saddened over her death but he continues to play on. While he plays a little boy listens to his music and starts dancing to it and Birdie is happy that another person is enjoying his music.

* PhantomThief: 56 years ago, a thief called the Shadow broke into the guest rooms of New York’s luxury hotels to steal their jewelry and was never caught.
