Warning: Spoilers ahead!
The ending of Netflix’s Fall explained
How does Fall on Netflix end?
Becky and Hunter are best friends who have travelled to the desert and dare to climb the pole in order to spread the ashes of Becky’s late husband.
But, after they get stuck due to a loose ladder and panic sets in, emotions boil over as Hunter reveals that her and Becky’s husband had an affair before he died in a climb gone wrong.
After the secret gets out and the friends-turned-foes attempt to save themselves, another shocking secret is revealed. Hunter is already dead.
How did Hunter die in Fall?
After her affair with Becky’s husband is revealed, Hunter risks her life to climb down to collect a backpack that is on the communications dish below them.
She gets down to the dish by unhooking herself from the rope she is attached to, then attempts to grab the rope again as Becky tries to pull her up.
Despite us thinking she survived the attempt, from this point, Hunter is a figure of Becky’s imagination. She died trying to get back up the platform to Becky and her body is on the dish below.
“I’m down there, remember?” Hunter says, turning her head to Becky and revealing a gory wound. In a flashback, we see what really happened as she tries to get back up. “I bled out,” she says.
We may see a more supportive, level-headed version of Hunter from the point of the fall with our hopes that the friends are growing closer again, but in reality, Hunter is a now a figure of Becky’s imagination as a way to cope with the horror of the situation.
How does Becky survive?
After Becky releases that Hunter is, in fact, dead and her body is on the dish below, Becky gets to grips with reality and is focused on survival.
She travels down to the antenna and sends an SOS message to her father, puts her phone inside Hunter’s shoe then (brace yourselves) inside a wound on Hunter’s body. Becky then pushes Hunter’s body off the antenna in hopes that the message will send as the phone gets signal as Hunter’s body hits the ground.
Thankfully, it does and Becky’s father rushes to the tower alongside emergency services. Becky survives, meets her father and they all lived happily ever after… kind of.
Fall is streaming on Netflix now.
