At the climax of “K.O.,” Bastien and Kenza find themselves facing the ruthless Manchour brothers in a desperate struggle to save Léo. After a tense pursuit through a police station that they eventually overrun, Bastien confronts Driss Manchour in a brutal hand-to-hand fight, managing to fatally wound him, while Kenza takes down Abdel with her baton. Their victory is hard-won, but it comes at a great cost. As chaos erupts and the police station is under attack by the Manchours—who are willing to kill anyone to get their hands on Léo—the police force is stretched thin. Bastien and Kenza navigate through the chaos, fighting off the gang members and trying to protect Léo. In the midst of this, the identity of the mole within the police department is revealed: Vasseur, a trusted officer who turns out to be working for the Manchours. His betrayal culminates in a deadly confrontation where Kenza shoots him to stop him from killing her. With Vasseur dead, Bastien and Kenza successfully rescue Léo.
As the chaos subsides, the villains’ plans unravel. The Manchours had intended to use the police chaos to kill Léo en masse, but their plans fail thanks to Bastien and Kenza’s determination. The story ends with Bastien and Kenza watching Léo reunite with his mother, symbolizing a redemption for Bastien, who finally finds peace in protecting the son of the man he once accidentally killed. The film closes on a note of hope and new beginnings, hinting at possible future adventures for these characters, whether in their continued fight against crime or in building a new life together. The ending emphasizes themes of redemption, sacrifice, and the enduring power of justice, as the characters look forward, having finally triumphed over their pasts and enemies alike.
