Missing

In the ending of “Missing,” June discovers the shocking truth that her father, James, is still alive and was behind her mother Grace’s kidnapping. James had long ago conspired with Kevin, Grace’s boyfriend, to kidnap Grace in a twisted revenge plan, as James believed she had lied about her past and tarnished his reputation. James’s story was fabricated to manipulate June into believing her mother was unworthy or at fault, but in reality, he was the mastermind behind everything. His plan involved tricking Grace with a doppelganger named Rachel, who looked exactly like her, to confuse June and hide the truth. Throughout the film, June’s efforts to find her mother lead her through a web of lies and deception, with Kevin’s involvement swirling in doubt until the shocking revelation that Kevin was also a victim, not a villain.

The climax reveals that James had kidnapped Grace and kept her hidden in a secret location after her escape attempt, intending to punish her and keep her away from June. Grace managed to fight James off and injured him severely, which ultimately led to James collapsing from blood loss and presumed dead—though this remains somewhat ambiguous. Meanwhile, June, with quick thinking and the help of her knowledge about her devices, calls the police using Siri just in time. James’s death is implied but not definitively confirmed; it is left open whether he survived. The film ends on a hopeful note—Grace is rescued and free from her abuser, and June gains a new understanding and appreciation for her mother’s strength. The story shows how vulnerable victims feel when the legal system fails to provide justice, but also highlights resilience and the importance of perseverance in the face of danger. June’s quick thinking and their unity prove crucial in overcoming the menace, leaving viewers with a message of hope and emotional strength.
