00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel, in this video, I will explain the ending of The Apology,

00:04so let's begin.

00:06Shudders, The Apology is a 2022 thriller film about Darlene, a mother whose daughter disappeared

00:1120 years ago.

00:13When her ex-relative, Jack, her sister's former husband, comes to Darlene's doorstep,

00:18Darlene wonders why Jack's motive.

00:20The latter wants to surprise people for Christmas, but his car breaks down, and he doesn't know

00:24where else to go due to a severe storm.

00:27Darlene and Jack seem to have a lot of history, and since the two reunite after 19 years,

00:31their conversation turns nostalgic.

00:34As Darlene talks about old times, Jack talks about her daughter, Sally.

00:38Soon, Darlene discovers Jack's true colors, which leads Darlene down a dangerous path.

00:44Toward the end, we understand what happened with Sally 20 years ago, why Jack returns,

00:49and what he wants Darlene to do.

00:51Here's everything you need to know about the ending, spoilers for the film's ending follow.

00:55The Apology begins with Darlene and her friend, Gretchen, cooking the Christmas meal at the

01:00former's place.

01:02Darlene checks a video of her giving an interview about the disappearance of Sally and helping

01:06other families dealing with similar circumstances.

01:08After Gretchen leaves, Jack comes to Darlene's house, and the two catch up.

01:13We learn that Jack and Darlene slept with each other, following which Jack left his

01:16wife and the entire family.

01:18Soon, Jack brings up the disappearance of Sally and asks Darlene what she will do if

01:23she ever meets her daughter's abductor.

01:25Jack tries to bring out a dark side in Darlene, and later when the conversation topic changes,

01:30he tries to kiss her.

01:32But Darlene refuses, and Jack starts to talk about Sally again.

01:36Jack confesses he knows what happened to Sally.

01:39As Jack reveals the details, Sally begins to fear Jack and tries to run away.

01:44But Jack doesn't allow her to contact anyone and makes her listen to the complete story.

01:48At first, Jack tells how he found Sally walking on the road and decided to give her a ride.

01:53He took her to the lake point, and the two kissed as they began to talk.

01:57Later, Sally started screaming.

02:00To stop her from creating a scene, he placed his hand on her mouth and pushed hard.

02:05Due to this, her neck broke, and he ended up killing her.

02:08Although Jack maintains that it was all a big mistake and he didn't do anything on purpose,

02:13Darlene doesn't believe in him.

02:15After a bit of fighting and struggling, Darlene gets control of Jack.

02:19She ties him up with zip ties and shoots him in the leg due to her increasing rage.

02:24Jack enjoys this and wants Darlene to kill him, but she decides against it.

02:28Jack frees himself, chases Darlene, and tries to kill her.

02:32But Darlene manages to escape and ties him up once again.

02:36By this time, Gretchen arrives at the house after hearing the gunshot and finds Darlene

02:39tying Jack.

02:41After Gretchen and Darlene tie Jack, he tells the complete story, but this time, Darlene

02:45makes him tell the actual truth.

02:48Jack confesses that he raped Sally and killed her.

02:51The revelation makes the audience wonder why Jack did so and is left with other questions.

02:56Let us shed some light on all of them.

02:59Why did Jack rape and kill Sally?

03:01Jack likely raped Sally because he loved Darlene and saw Darlene in Sally.

03:06So, in Sally's moment of vulnerability, Jack takes advantage of her and rapes her.

03:11But, when Sally started screaming, he tried to subdue her by placing his hand on her mouth.

03:16Unfortunately, Jack applied too much pressure, breaking Sally's neck.

03:21When Jack sees Darlene, he confesses how much he loves her.

03:25Numerous incidents in their past point toward this.

03:27First, he gifts Darlene a book and some chocolates as part of the reading and eating chocolate

03:32family tradition.

03:34Darlene reveals that Jack started the tradition by giving everyone a book and chocolates.

03:38However, he did so because he didn't want anyone to notice he was giving Darlene the

03:43same gift which meant the most to her.

03:45Jack also confesses that he loved Darlene but didn't ask her to be with him because

03:49the two were married to other people.

03:51Later, Jack tried to kiss Darlene in the kitchen and would have gone ahead if Darlene hadn't

03:55refused.

03:57All these instances prove that Jack was and continues to be in love with Darlene.

04:01When the man first narratives the incident with Sally, he says that Sally looked so familiar

04:05to Darlene, due to which he let himself go.

04:08The statement is a convoluted way of Jack saying that since he couldn't be with Darlene,

04:13he tried to sleep with her daughter, Sally.

04:15As the film progresses, Jack's statement slowly changes.

04:19At first, he says, he and Sally had consensual intercourse before the latter started screaming.

04:25However, Jack's conviction behind the statement begins to decrease as the movie unfolds.

04:30The behavioral pattern shows how delusional Jack is.

04:34To begin with, Jack believes that Darlene needs closure and sees himself as the hero

04:38who provides it.

04:39Jack is in denial regarding the incident with Sally because he cannot believe he was

04:43wrong and committed a gruesome crime.

04:45Thus, if we look at all the facets, we realize that Jack has always been in love with Darlene.

04:50However, since he couldn't be with her, he chose the second best option, Darlene's daughter,

04:56Sally.

04:57But, after realizing that he raped a 16-year-old girl who could expose him, Jack couldn't risk

05:01losing everything and decided to calm Sally down.

05:05But Sally wouldn't, so Jack killed her and later buried her in a secret place.

05:10Where is Sally buried?

05:12Jack buried Sally in the same spot where he raped and killed Sally.

05:16Jack's entire crime was an impulsive act.

05:19From the moment he gave Sally a ride in his vehicle, he didn't know what he was going

05:22to do.

05:24When Jack hugged Sally while she complained about Darlene's alcoholism, he mistook it

05:28as a sign to proceed further.

05:30Once Jack began, he couldn't stop himself, and when Sally shouted, Jack became alert.

05:35He wanted to be safe and not let anyone find out about his actions.

05:39So, intentionally or unintentionally, Jack killed Sally and buried her in the same place

05:44because he didn't know any other place and had to act quickly.

05:47Thus, Jack buried Sally in the same place where he raped and killed her.

05:52Why does Darlene not kill Jack?

05:55Jack returns to meet Darlene after seeing her recent interview.

05:58The man wants to unburden all the traumatic emotions and start afresh.

06:03Jack pities himself and believes that he needs to be punished.

06:06So, he makes Darlene get in touch with her darker side and begs her to kill him.

06:11To Jack, that's the ultimate punishment that anyone can get.

06:15However, Jack is wrong because the ultimate punishment is to spend his time in prison.

06:20Jack doesn't want to take accountability for his mistakes and finds death and escape.

06:25But Darlene doesn't kill Jack.

06:27Although she has enough reason, motivation, and drive to kill Jack, she doesn't shoot

06:31him because Darlene wants Jack to face his fate head-on.

06:35That's all for now folks.
