Netflix's All the Light We Cannot See wraps up as the Battle of Saint-Malo unfolds, but what happens to Marie-Laure and Werner in the finale?
The Big Picture All the Light We Cannot See adapts the best-selling book of the same name across four episodes. Directed by Shawn Levy, it weaves the interweaving stories of Marie-Laure , a blind French girl, and Werner , a German soldier, as they try to survive the devastation of World War II. The series also stars Hugh Laurie and Mark Ruffalo. After episodes of build-up, the two finally meet as the Battle of Saint-Malo unfolds.
Growing impatient in the present, von Rumpel attempts to threaten Marie-Laure with a hand grenade. Just as her father had refused to surrender, Marie-Laure stands her ground by pulling out a gun Etienne had hidden in the attic. Von Rumpel detonates the hand grenade, deafening Marie-Laure’s hearing for about thirty seconds. It’s during this disorienting state that Werner arrives at the house and calls out to Marie-Laure. When von Rumpel begins to shoot at Werner, Marie-Laure’s hearing returns.
After eating some canned peaches together, the radio begins to hum, prompting Werner to mend it. He turns it on and takes the chance to broadcast a message to his sister, Jutta . Unbeknownst to him, she has been listening to shortwave 13.10 in her brother’s absence. She’s listening to it at the orphanage when Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” begins to play, the same song the professor would open and close his broadcasts.
Marie-Laure tells him that he needs to surrender to the American soldiers. Otherwise, the townspeople will kill him, just like Sandrina told Von Rumpel when she exchanged her escape for the address to Marie-Laure’s house. With imprisonment, the soldiers will at least give him clothing, food, and a chance at survival. Werner agrees, and Marie-Laure walks Werner downstairs toward his fate. He tells her that he’ll be listening as he steps out of the doorway with a white cloth in surrender.
