Waist Deep Ending Explained How Did O2 Survive

In Waist Deep, the cat and mouse chase is only a part of the narrative. Meanwhile, there is a bigger, much emotion-filled plot in the making. Here, the ‘Clyde’, Otis Senior is seemingly a good guy who just came out of prison. Being an ex-con, he works as a security guard for his rehabilitation. But one day as his son is not picked up from school in his replacement, he heads on to pick him from school. But while we witness a loving father-son relationship between the Otises, their car gets hijacked with his son inside it.

The next day, O2 and Coco stage a number of bank robberies, during which they steal a lot of expensive jewelry. Lucky who owed a debt to Big Money goes to him with some of the jewelry. Unknowing that the jewelry actually belonged to Big Money, Lucky is forced to set up a meeting between O2, Coco, Big Meat, and himself. They head to meet up with Big Money to hand him over the cash. Here, the money they have is in no way close to $100,000. So, a shootout erupts in which we realize that Big Meat never intended to free Otis Junior. He signals his men to shoot the kid when Lucky sees this and tackles him. Lucky gets a shot in the side of his chest and is in need of being taken to the emergency room. O2 kills his former partner Meat and retrieves Junior. While in the car on their way to the hospital, they try to stop Lucky’s bleeding, but he succumbs to his wound. They are being followed by the police but using his evasive skills, O2 takes them to a parking lot. Here he asks Coco to take Junior past the Mexican border while he stays and distracts the cops.
