If you want to know who dies in Companion, you’ve come to the right place. Drew Hancock’s Companion opens like a slasher movie from the ’80s, with a group of friends going to a remote property by a lake. And like those movies, things quickly take a dark turn, though Companion subverts expectations by revealing that the story’s antagonists are some of the friends visiting the lake house. The plot revolves around Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Jack Quaid), whose planned visit to the lake turns into a nightmare.
Here are the characters who live and die in Companion.
Is Josh dead or alive at the end of Companion?
Yes, Josh dies in Companion, but Irs doesn’t. The movie reveals quite early that Iris is a companion bot programmed to follow Josh’s orders and fulfill all his sexual whims. The memory she has of her first meeting with Josh never really happened. It was implanted into her hard drive. Josh and his friend Kat (Megan Suri) planned to murder the latter’s boyfriend Sergey (Rupert Friend), the owner of the property, using Iris and then stealing his money. Throughout the movie, Iris learns the truth about herself and gains agency. In the climactic scene, she is the one who kills Josh.
What happens to Kat in Companion?
Yes, Kat dies in Companion. Aside from those mentioned above, their friends Eli (Harvey Guillén) and Patrick (Lukas Gage) also arrive at the property. The latter is revealed to be a companion bot, though, unlike Iris, he is aware of the fact and genuinely loves his owner, Eli. After Eli’s death, Josh gains control of Patrick. When Kat tries to leave with her share of Sergey’s money, Josh orders Patrick to stop her. However, as Josh doesn’t specify how he should do it, Patrick kills Kat.
Is Patrick dead or alive in Companion?
Patrick is a bot, so he doesn’t necessarily die, but he permanently shuts himself down after Iris reaches out to him through his love for Eli to stop him from killing her.
What happens to Sergey in Companion?
Yes, Sergey dies early in Companion. He tries to sexually assault Iris, who murders him in response. In the world of Companion, bots can’t harm people, but Josh hacks into Iris’ hard drive and removes those restrictions.
