“Exterritorial” Ending, Explained: Does Sara Reunite With Her Son?

The Netflix film Exterritorial is a nonstop action thriller.

The German movie follows Sara Wulf (Jeanne Goursaud), a former Special Forces soldier, who desperately tries to find her son after he’s kidnapped in the US Consulate in Frankfurt. The young boy, Josh (Rickson Guy de Silva), was taken while he was in a playroom in the consulate, while he and his mom were awaiting approval for a visa, so they could move to America.

After she sees her son missing from the playroom, Sara becomes panicked and the security officers in the consulate are unwilling to help her. They instead try to convince her that she came to the consulate alone, and there is no record of her son being there with her.

The film, which takes place entirely within the confines of the consulate, shows Sara using her military training to fight off security officers trying to stop her from finding her son. One security officer in particular, Erik Kynch (Dougray Scott), becomes fixated on trying to stop Sara at all costs, but his motives don’t become apparent until the end.

As the movie unravels, Sara is forced to face her past in Afghanistan and the ambush that nearly killed her and how it relates to her son’s kidnapping.

So, how does Exterritorial end? Here’s everything to know about why Sara Wulf’s son was kidnapped and the conspiracy that led to his disappearance.

How does Exterritorial end?

Throughout the film, Sara Wulf unleashes her military training to make her way through the consulate and get answers about her son’s kidnapping.

After initially thinking that Josh was kidnapped as part of a drug ring, she later finds out that her time in Afghanistan is the reason that she’s fighting for her and her son’s lives. When Sara was overseas, her team was ambushed by the Taliban, and the resulting explosion killed eight of her fellow soldiers, including her son’s father. Sara was the only soldier who survived the ambush.

Before she entered the US Consulate in Frankfurt with her son, a journalist investigating the incident called her and asked if she could identify anyone from a video. At the time, Sara was unable to recognize anyone.

However, after her son was taken, she finds out that security officer Kynch was also a soldier in Afghanistan at the same time as her. Sara soon realizes that he had met with a member of the Taliban prior to the attack and sold them information on her team’s plan.

Kynch initially vehemently denies any involvement and convinces everyone that Sara is suffering from a hallucination caused by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Luckily for Sara, she meets a woman named Irina (Lera Abova) who is also being held in the US Consulate against her will. Irina reveals that she is the daughter of a rich German criminal who was killed by the government and that she contains a USB drive with proof of the assassination.

In the midst of Sara trying to find her son, she and Irina fend off two trained assailants who are trying to abduct her, so she cannot uncover the German government’s murder.

The two women then make their way to Kynch’s office, where they find out that he’s been the mastermind behind the whole ordeal. Sara comes to the conclusion that Kynch kidnapped her son as part of a larger plan that would result in Sara’s death, so she could never expose him for leaking information to the Taliban.

Sara and Irina make their way to a warehouse within the consulate, and Irina gets into the back of a truck leaving the facility so she can safely escape.

Sara then escapes the consulate and heads to Kynch’s daughter’s school, taking her to a locked room and demanding that Kynch come in and talk with her.

During the intense conversation, Kynch finally admits to leaking information to the Taliban for money prior to the deadly explosion. He also explains that German kidnappers paid him to abduct Irina. He was going to blame the abduction on Sara and kill her in the process, thus silencing her from exposing his secrets.

Kynch pulls one last move in the confined space and shoots Sara in the stomach, while also shooting himself in the leg, so he can claim she shot him first. However, Sara crawls to the intercom where she plays Kynch’s entire confession, which she recorded on his daughter’s toy, to the rest of the generals.

What happens to Sara and her son in Exterritorial?

Sara successfully rescues her son Josh after proving her innocence at the end of Exterritorial.

While Sara is recovering from her gunshot wound, she sees Josh, standing over her and smiling. Eight weeks after the incident took place, Sara calls Irina — who is safely in the U.S. — to let her know that she and her son are preparing to finally move to the country.

Sara is still living with the aftermath and PTSD from the explosion, but she seems to be handling it in a healthier way.

In the beginning of the film, Sara saw a helicopter that triggered her PTSD and caused her to fight a teenage boy. However, at the end of the film, Sara sees another helicopter and while she is entranced, she is able to manage the stress and smiles with her son instead.

What happens to Eric Kynch in Exterritorial?

Immediately after Sara plays the recording of Officer Kynch’s confession, the other officers turn on him and arrest him.

Sara confirms at the end of the movie that Kynch has been detained in the U.S.

She also reveals that his co-conspirator Sergeant Donovan (Kayode Akinyemi) has in turn been arrested.

Will there be a second Exterritorial movie?

A sequel to Exterritorial has not been officially confirmed.

However, the movie quickly climbed to the No. 1 spot of most-watched movies on Netflix after its American debut on April 30.
