Killers of the Flower Moon follows the serial Osage murders that occurred in the 1920s. We break down the film's ending, true story changes & more.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Killers of the Flower Moon’s ending is a devastating one. Directed by Martin Scorsese, Killers of the Flower Moon sees the Osage Nation getting justice after years of murders, theft, and mistreatment. Following the arrival of the Bureau of Investigation’s Tom White, William King Hale is aware that he’ll be questioned, so he plans for the murders of those involved in the killings of Osage Nation members, including Henry Roan.
Hale believed he could get away with his crimes because he was firmly embedded in the Osage Nation’s community. He befriended the tribal council and other Osage Nation members, loaned money, built local businesses and invested in the community overall. He also had local law enforcement in his pockets, which meant he could get away with just about anything. All this allowed Hale to continue pretending with the Osage while simultaneously killing and robbing them.
Why The Osage Don’t Suspect Hale Or Ernest In The Murders Watching Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese reveals the guilty parties from the start and viewers watch as everything unfolds from that perspective. However, Mollie Burkhart and the Osage Nation trusted Hale and Ernest. Hale was well-liked, respected, and the Osage believed him to be trustworthy. He was a friend of the Osage, and nothing — at least not openly — showed him to be otherwise.
Mollie Burkhart’s Guardianship Explained Throughout Killers of the Flower Moon, Mollie is shown asking to use her own money — for her mother’s medicine or to go to Washington, DC to speak with President Coolidge about the murders. These scenes underscore the guardianship that Mollie and the Osage Nation were living under. Similar to a conservatorship, the guardianship system declared the Osage as “incompetent” if they didn’t pass a competency test introduced by Congress in 1921.
