00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel, in this video, I will explain the ending of Quasi, so, let's
00:05begin.
00:06Hulu's Quasi is a comedy-drama movie directed by Kevin Heffernan.
00:10The film is the brainchild of J. Chundrashekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soder,
00:15and Eric Stolhansky, collectively known as the Broken Lizard.
00:19The period film is a satirical take on Victor Hugo's 1831 French novel, The Hunchback
00:23of Notre Dame.
00:25However, the movie drastically deviates from the book and only shares its protagonist with
00:29the source material.
00:31Instead, the film is a raunchy and zany romp that follows the titular hunchback as he gets
00:35caught up in a deadly conflict between the king and the pope.
00:39As Quasi attempts to escape a grim fate due to his inadvertent involvement in the conflict,
00:43hilarity ensues.
00:45If you are wondering whether Quasi succeeds in saving his life and turns his fortunes
00:49around, here is everything you need to know about the ending, just to let you know this
00:52video will contain spoilers.
00:55Quasia follows Quasimodo, aka Quasi, a hunchback who formerly worked as the bell ringer at
01:00Notre Dame.
01:01Quasi is an outcast and has only one friend, Duchamp.
01:05The duo works for Lucien, the head of the torture room.
01:08Quasi and Duchamp operate the Rack, a torture device created by Quasi that stretches the
01:12victim's limbs.
01:14However, Quasi is unhappy with the state of his life and yearns for love.
01:18Elsewhere, Queen Catherine is the latest bride of King Guy, who rules over France.
01:23The king is disappointed to learn that Pope Cornelius will visit his kingdom.
01:27On the other hand, Catherine is tired of the king constantly undermining her.
01:32Catherine tours her new kingdom and visits the dungeon where she meets Quasi.
01:36Catherine is drawn to Quasi's ability to rally his co-workers against their boss, Lucien.
01:41After praising Quasi, Catherine returns to the royal palace.
01:45Later, Quasi has drinks with Duchamp and their new friend, Michel.
01:49Duchamp listens to Quasi lament his physical deformities and how it affects his chances
01:53of finding love.
01:55Feeling sorry for his friend, Duchamp gives Quasi his lottery ticket.
01:59The winner of the lottery will get to meet the pope.
02:01To everyone's surprise, Quasi wins the lottery and is summoned by the king.
02:06Meanwhile, Duchamp feels jealous of his best friend.
02:09The king speaks to Quasi privately, tasks him with killing the pope, and threatens to
02:13kill him if he refuses to carry out the order.
02:16A dagger has already been planted at the confessional for Quasi to use for killing
02:19the pope.
02:20However, when the pope arrives at the confessional, Quasi reveals the truth.
02:25In turn, the pope tasks Quasi with assassinating the king.
02:29As Quasi gets wrapped up in the conflict between the pope and the king, the latter learns of
02:33his failure and gives Quasi one last chance to prove his loyalty.
02:37Catherine, who fears the king will soon dispose of her just like his former wives, visits
02:41Quasi and learns of his predicament.
02:43Catherine decides to help Quasi escape the complex conflict, and the duo formulates a
02:48plan.
02:49During an event, Quasi pretends to attack the king and the pope with two daggers.
02:53However, the act is stopped by Duchamp as per the group's plan.
02:57Quasi fakes his death and escapes into a cave deep in the woods, while Duchamp expects to
03:01be hailed as the hero who saved the kingdom.
03:04How does Quasi save Duchamp?
03:07Are the pope and the king dead?
03:09After Quasi fakes his death, his plan to make Duchamp the hero backfires as the kingdom
03:13sees Quasi as the savior.
03:15As a result, Duchamp's jealousy grows, especially after he discovers Quasi is secretly spending
03:20time with the queen.
03:22Thus, Duchamp exposes Quasi in front of the king.
03:25However, the king believes that Duchamp is Quasi's best friend and prepares to hang him.
03:30Consequently, Quasi is forced to come out of hiding to save his best friend despite
03:34their earlier fight.
03:36In the end, Quasi rallies his friends and attacks the king's guards to stop Duchamp's
03:40death.
03:41During the process, Michel dies, and Quasi is captured.
03:45However, Quasi appeals to the public after the king orders his execution.
03:49Quasi reveals the king ordered him to murder the pope while the pope also asked him to
03:53assassinate the king.
03:55The revelation shocks the public and causes a fight between the king and the pope.
03:59As the duo argues, it is revealed that the two were formerly lovers.
04:03Thus, the king and pope's hatred for each other actually stems from their unfilled love
04:07story.
04:08The king and the pope attack each other and mortally wound their opponent.
04:12However, in their final moments, the two profess their love for each other and try to kiss
04:16but die due to the blind hate they carried for each over the years.
04:20Ultimately, the conflict between the king and the pope culminates as the two meet their
04:24deaths.
04:25Moreover, Quasi successfully saves himself and Duchamp from dying in the conflict with
04:29the help of his friends and Catherine.
04:32Quasi and Duchamp resolve their differences and mend their friendship.
04:36Does Quasi become the king?
04:38In the film, Queen Catherine likes Quasi, and the two quickly grow close.
04:42Before Quasi executes his grand plan, Catherine expresses her attraction for him.
04:46Later, when Quasi and Catherine spend time in the cave, Catherine tells him about one
04:50of her cousins who was born deformed with a hunchback.
04:54The baby was abandoned and presumed dead years ago.
04:57However, after meeting Quasi, Catherine grows convinced that he is her long-lost cousin.
05:02Moreover, the revelation fuels her attraction for Quasi, and the two have sex.
05:07Later, Catherine discovers a birthmark on Quasi's back, confirming that he is of royal
05:11blood.
05:13During the film's climax, Quasi successfully foils the king and the pope's plans by pitting
05:17them against each other.
05:18Furthermore, his heritage is revealed to the general public.
05:22As a result, Quasi is crowned as the new king and takes Catherine as his queen.
05:27Ultimately, Quasi receives a happy ending as he and Catherine rule the kingdom as the
05:31people's king and queen.
05:32Moreover, Quasi also fulfills his desire for love and no longer feels ashamed because of
05:37his deformed appearance.
05:39Quasi won the hearts of the queen and the subjects with his honesty, determination,
05:43and caring personality, qualities both the king and the pope lacked.
05:47Thus, the film ends on a high note, with Quasi becoming the one true king.
05:52That's all for now folks.
