Fair Play ended in a manner that left fans with many questions. Trying to understand what you saw? Here is the ending explained with spoilers.
What happened to Emily and Luke’s relationship?
Their relationship ends after Emily leaves Luke.
The trigger for this is Luke’s big mental breakdown at their workplace, where he reveals their secret affair to their colleagues and destroys the conference room during an important meeting.
The root cause of Emily and Luke’s breakup is the slowly changing power dynamic between them. At the film’s beginning, Emily and Luke start their relationship on a great note, where they get engaged and sneak around at work. However, their once stable, albeit secret, and loving relationship gradually crumbles after Emily ascends to a higher rank at the workplace after being given the promotion Luke greatly desires. This eventually reaches a tipping point with Luke’s mental breakdown.
Does Emily endorse Luke’s promotion?
No, Emily does not endorse Luke’s promotion, as she realizes his true intentions of using her to advance his career.
Emily was heartbroken and frustrated upon seeing Luke’s true nature. This contributed to her decision not to put in a good word for Luke to Campbell and their colleagues. Moreover, Emily already got into trouble because of a poor trading call Luke made, which caused the company to lose $25 million, for which she took the fall. Thus, it was wise on her part not to recommend Luke for a promotion.
Why did Campbell want to fire Luke from the company?
Campbell wanted to fire Luke as he was not talented enough for the position he was working in.
Early in Fair Play, Campbell, while out drinking with Emily and their colleagues, reveals that Luke is only in the company as a favor to someone else and is actually not talented enough for the position he is working in. This is proven true when Luke makes a poor trading call that results in the company losing $25 million.
