This video is me giving an ending spoiler for the movie The video is just me talking about how it ends. No video or photos from the movie are used.

Here is the spoiler written out, so you can follow along:


An angry Meyers then offers his services to Duffy, who admits he only met with Meyers in order to influence his opponent's operation and had no intention of hiring him. He suspected that Meyers would tell Zara about the meeting which would lead Zara to remove Meyers from Morris' campaign. Should this happen, Duffy correctly surmised, the Morris campaign would be weakened and, as a result, Pullman's would be strengthened. Before dismissing Meyers, Duffy encourages the younger man to quit the business before he becomes a cynic, saying that he arranged that to save him. Meanwhile, Molly learns that Meyers has been fired and fearing that he will reveal her pregnancy, takes a fatal drug overdose.

Since the both sides used him, Meyers goes to the offensive. Unbeknownst to the Morris campaign, he meets with Thompson to arrange for Thompson's delegates in exchange for a spot on the Morris ticket. He then uses Molly's phone to call Morris, inducing the candidate to meet him in the kitchen of a nearby bar that has closed for the evening. Meyers confronts Morris, telling him that he will expose the affair with Molly if Morris does not accept his demands: fire Zara, place Meyers in charge of the campaign, and offer Thompson the role of Vice President. Morris resists, but Meyers claims that he has a suicide note found in Molly's room. After a back-and-forth in which either or both men appear to bluff, Morris relents and meets all of Meyer's demands (with Zara's dismissal spun by all parties as a resignation caused by the loss of the Ohio primary). Later at Molly's funeral, Zara compliments Meyers on his skill in using secrets to his advantage and says that the two men should meet sometime for a drink. Zara also reveals that he's now working on K street as a consultant. Later, Thompson's endorsement (and delegates) makes Morris the de facto nominee despite losing the Democratic Party's Ohio primary election (which Morris claims was lost only because the state's open primary allowed Republicans and Independents to vote in it and thereby sabotage it by choosing the weaker Democrat).

Now senior campaign manager, Meyers is on the way to a remote TV interview with John King inside Xavier University's Cintas Center when Ida ambushes him and claims that a source told her about the kitchen meeting between him and Morris, sharing details that only Meyers and Morris would know. Meyers' only comment to her is that members of the press are not allowed into the gym where his interview is about to take place, and he has security bar her from coming any further. Meyers takes his seat for the interview and is asked for insight as to how the events surrounding the primary unfolded as the movie ends.
