Spoilers · the ending
M. Night Shyamalan · 2017
This page gives the ending away. Not seen the film yet? Its spoiler-free guide is here.
What happens
The Beast spares Casey after seeing her scars, deciding her suffering has already made her pure. She is rescued but refuses to leave with her abusive uncle. A diner television then links Kevin's case to Mr. Glass, tying the film to Unbreakable.
The last image
In a diner, a patron watches a news report on Kevin and mentions a similar case from years ago, Mr. Glass, and the man beside her is David Dunn.
What it says
The ending turns on what the Beast sees in Casey, not on a fight. Her pain and Kevin's mirror each other, and the film leaves open whether suffering makes you dangerous or strong. The diner scene looks ahead to a larger story.
