This article discusses the ending of the Netflix film Two, so will contain major spoilers.
Two follows a pair of strangers who find themselves surgically attached to one another and stranded in a dingy hotel room. Together, they try to figure out how they got there, as that may be the only way they can get out.
It doesn’t take Sara (Marina Gatell) long to notice that hers and David’s (Pablo Derqui) time trapped in this hotel room is one that has been frequented by patterns, whether that be in the design of the wallpaper, the lights switching on and off, or simply the presence of the number two everywhere they look. When she makes the link between the lights and her and David sharing a kiss, she shares her knowledge and the two decide to use this to their advantage.
When their captor makes a move to intervene in the activities shared by the couple, they blindside him with an attack, and he is knocked unconscious when he crashes into a bedside table. They make a break for it through an open door but are stopped dead in their tracks by a series of newspaper clippings framed on the walls of the corridor. Reading the excerpts, both David and Sara begin to piece together the reason for why they both find themselves in this troublesome situation — they were conjoined twins, separated at birth to lead separate lives until their biological father (the man they’ve just knocked out cold) tracked them down and decided to bring them back together once more.
Netflix film Two ending explained
Before they can escape, however, they end up facing off with the old man. Sara, who has managed to retrieve the pistol taken from her when she was kidnapped, attempts to shoot him, but the three of them end up wrestling over it. In the hustle and bustle, the trigger is pulled and two shots go off — one hitting the old man and the other striking David in the leg. Bleeding heavily from the wound, it is clear that if he doesn’t receive medical attention David will die, and so as the only one still able to run for help, Sara has to cut herself free from him and escape.
However, as soon as she steps outside, it becomes apparent that there was never any hope for the two of them. The place where they were being held — an abandoned warehouse — is in the middle of nowhere, and probably high up in the mountains for good measure given the amount of snow on the ground. Still, Sara persists, but before long she collapses in the snow, bleeding from her own wound where the stitches were torn. The final shot of the film is a picture-in-picture effect of both her and David, presumably after they’ve succumbed to both their injuries and the elements, in what one can only assume is a metaphor for how they could only survive together.
