We left off when Chris had realized that the whole family, including his girlfriend Rose, were not only racist, but had somehow hypnotized many black people that Rose brought home over the years, and used these people to their advantage, as servants. The family doesn't let Chris leave and they take his keys and phone. Chris wakes up from hypnosis tied to a chair in a room. A video plays on a tv in the room "welcoming" him to the "family", essentially as a slave. His friend tries to get in contact with him, but fails to do so. This friend reports Chris as missing and explains his theory that rose's family is abducting and brainwashing black people and using them, but the cops laugh at him. When the black cops didn't believe Chris's friend and laughed at his theory, it reflects the idea that there is still racism and social injustice in the world today but it is often hidden, which is why they didn't believe him (sociology).
Rose lies to his friend on the phone and tells him that Chris left her home days ago - could rose be hypnotized too by her parents or is she just evil like them? We never do find out for sure. The man on tv (Rose's grandfather, the mastermind of the sick plan) tells Chris that he will no longer have control of his mind and actions, and Chris will be living through hypnosis and a switch of his brain with the grandfather's brain, literally. Rose's father begins the surgical brain-swap procedure on the grandfather and Jeremy, the brother, begins it on Chris. However, Chris wakes up from hypnosis and kills him. He then precedes to kill the father. Rose's mother tries to kill Chris on his way out, but he fights and kills her, too. Turns out Jeremy isn't dead, and he attacks Chris on his way out the door; Chris then fights Jeremy and kills him for real this time. Meanwhile, Rose is in her room searching for her next black man to manipulate and bring home. Chris hits the maid with his car on his way out the driveway, and puts her in the car to bring her to a hospital. She wakes and attacks him under hypnosis. They crash the car. Rose is outside the car with a gun and instructs the other servant, or "grandpa" (grandpa's mind) to "get him" (Chris). The servant takes her gun, but turns around and shoots Rose, and then himself. Rose awakes, and Chris attempts to kill her, but can't bring himself to do it. This is when a cop car pulls up, but his best friend gets out of the driver's seat.
His friend tells him "I told you so" and promises him that the situation is taken care of. Chris gets out alive, and this is where the film ends.
Crazy, right?
REMINDERS: Keep in mind that you must turn in the 3 synthesis sentences for Get Out by tonight! Also, the Senior Paper Proposal essay is due next Tuesday, so don't delay working on it!
