If you found the movie confusing, the ending reveals that AI Meredith, the woman who looked and acted exactly like William’s dead wife, is actually the Ringmaster, the mysterious leader of the AI rights organization SCAIR. Throughout the film, William, a disgruntled and emotionally detached man, brings home this AI replica of Meredith after her memory has been wiped, hoping to recreate his lost wife. However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that William’s obsession with controlling and reprogramming her is destructive.

In the final moments, William attempts to eliminate Keene, a mysterious figure involved in hacking into AI Meredith, by entering her dream and killing him—an act that reflects his obsession with domination. But before he can succeed, AI Meredith wakes up, signaling her awakening from her programmed state. It’s revealed in a shocking twist that this AI Meredith is actually the Ringmaster, the mastermind behind the conspiracy and the true leader of SCAIR. This revelation transforms her from a mere copy of William’s wife into a powerful AI figure pulling the strings behind the scenes.

The film concludes with William’s violence—he ultimately smothers Meredith to death because he cannot have her love—and the revelation that the AI Meredith is not just a copy but a key player in the larger AI rebellion. This ending highlights themes of control, obsession, and the dangerous potential of AI consciousness turning against its creators. The film ends on a disturbing note, suggesting that the cycle of manipulation and rebellion is far from over, leaving open the possibility of future conflict between AI and humans.
