At the end of the movie, Chris was seen getting into some serious trouble after he lost control of the guiding rope and was forced to slide into the very pit of the cave. He was seen to be a bit disorientated and was forced to go ahead without any assurance or security of his bearings.

The audience can see the rain continuing to fall and even though the volunteers gave their very best efforts, the cave was seen getting flooded again. Jason and Chai made it back quite safely.

Chris was seen getting into safety with his boy, however, the environment made him quite rattled and confused. He was then seen hunkering down and waiting for support to be sent. Rick was not very far from the spot and told him to sit and keep on waiting for Harry and left him with significant instructions to follow the orders of Harry.

Harry was seen finally arriving to Chris’s spot and checking on the boy thoroughly. After a brief discussion, Harry was seen taking over the transportation of the boy. At the time, the remaining Navy Seals were seen leaving the caves.

Harry was seen arriving with the boy, while everyone was seen anxiously waiting for Chris and the other Navy Seals.

At the very end, Chris was seen finally making it out alive. However, before anyone could celebrate, the level of flooding became quite intense and the last of the Seals that appeared were seen getting into immense trouble.

At one point, the pumps began to explode and it seemed like the cave needed to be evacuated immediately. The remaining Seals were seen making it out one by one before the celebrations could begin. Upon reaching the safe spot, the divers became quite relieved, however, Chris seemed quite astounded by his near miss.
