The Housemaid

The final confrontation erupts when Millie finally sees through Andrew’s charming façade. After a tense showdown in the stairwell, she shoves him over the railing, sending him plummeting to his death. Andrew’s tyranny ends with that single, decisive push, and the house that once echoed with his control falls silent.

In the aftermath, Nina secures the family’s fortune and departs for California with her daughter Cece. Before she leaves, she slips Millie a modest but life‑changing sum of money as a thank‑you for delivering the fatal blow. The credit for the deed remains hidden, but the two women share a quiet, victorious glance, acknowledging that they have finally escaped Andrew’s grip.

The film closes with Millie sitting across from a prospective employer, a woman who mentions that Nina recommended her. The new client hints that she, too, is trapped in an abusive marriage, implying that Millie’s “housemaid” role will become a covert means of delivering justice to other men like Andrew. This final scene plants the seed for future stories in which Millie, armed with both skill and experience, continues to dismantle the patriarchal power structures that once enslaved her and Nina.
