A door opens leading outside. Before anyone can leave, Gally shows up. He has a gun. He says that they all belong in the Glade. He goes to shoot Thomas, but Chuck jumps in front of the bullet. Gally gets stabbed in the chest with a knife. Chuck hands the, now bloody, statue to Thomas and dies.
A group, who looks like the guerillas from the video, rushes in and takes the kids outside to waiting helicopters. At first it looks like they’re in the desert, but we pull out to reveal that they’re outside what used to be a city. Buildings are destroyed and everything is covered in sand. They fly over the maze and the Glade and no one asks why the choppers just didn’t land inside the Glade and rescue the kids there instead.
Paige, alive and wiping fake blood off her head, says that the kids have taken the bait. More kids survived than she anticipated. The maze was a success.
