Trap Ending Explained: What Happens To Josh Hartnett’s Cooper Adams, Let’s Find Out?

The unexpected ally

Cooper isn’t your typical father; he’s shrewd and inventive. After secretly acquiring a radio, he tunes in to the FBI’s broadcasts. As the concert unfolds, it becomes clear that quick action is needed to escape with Riley. Somehow, Cooper deduces that Lady Raven frequently invites a child on stage during her performances.

In this situation, Cooper takes advantage of the opportunity and subtly influences M. Night Shyamalan (disguised as Lady Raven’s uncle), who is working behind the scenes to bring Riley onto the stage. Notably, M. Night Shyamalan plays the role of Lady Raven’s uncle in this production. Cooper attempts to slip away during this manipulation, but as usual in a Shyamalan film, things prove to be more complex than they initially appear.

Lady Raven’s role

At first glance, Lady Raven appears to merely be an extra in the concert. However, it becomes apparent that she is far from a simple performer. In truth, she plays a crucial role in a covert FBI operation, demonstrating her commitment to helping law enforcement. When Cooper eventually meets her behind the scenes, he attempts to use intimidation for his own gain, but Lady Raven skillfully reverses the situation, leaving Cooper outmaneuvered.

As an ardent admirer, I found myself standing before Cooper’s abode, heart pounding with anticipation. Inside, I was warmly greeted by the radiant Rachel (Alison Pill) and their charming son, Logan (Lochland Ray Miller). The ensuing conversation yielded invaluable insights into the enigmatic Cooper, further solidifying my conviction that Lady Raven is no one to trifle with.

The shocking home encounter

In a shocking twist, the movie’s plot intensifies when Cooper arrives back home. It is then revealed that his wife, Rachel, had long suspected him of being The Butcher. Their climactic encounter is filled with tension as Rachel discloses she’s been privy to his hidden darkness all along. During their argument, however, Rachel manages to outwit him by administering a sedative.

Indeed, Cooper intended to murder Rachel, but she proposed they enjoy one final dessert together. However, unbeknownst to Cooper, Rachel had laced his dessert with a drug. This clever ruse allowed the FBI agents hiding nearby to apprehend Cooper. Shortly following this incident, he was taken into custody.

A twisted ending and post-credit scene

Upon being escorted out, Cooper pauses to straighten his child’s bicycle. He discreetly removes a wheel spoke from it. Later, while confined in the van, he employs the bike spoke to free himself from the handcuffs. Finally, Cooper gives a chilling laugh into the camera, hinting that his dangerous antics continue unabated.

The film concludes with an additional scene after the credits. The individual, previously unaware of his assistance to Cooper, is tuning into the nightly news. Upon discovering that Cooper was actually The Butcher, he experiences a breakdown and swears off helping anyone in the future.
