What is the plot?
What is the ending?
Ulysses survives the final firefight, escapes the town with Alex, and later resumes his work as an interim sheriff. Blaine stays behind and becomes the sheriff of Normal, while the town keeps its secret hidden and the Yakuza are left still operating around it.
Ulysses, the interim sheriff, reaches the end of the story after the town's hidden violence erupts into a last, chaotic shootout. He and Alex have already helped Lori and Keith get away, and they use the bank as part of a trap while trying to turn the town's many armed enemies against each other. The fighting spreads through the town's cover-up and into the final confrontation, where the Yakuza leader dies by accident, and the collapse of that plan pushes the situation into one more burst of gunfire.
In the final stretch, the town's leaders and deputies are killed in the violence, including Mayor Kibner, Deputy Mike, and Moira, as Ulysses and Alex fight their way through the mob. After the last exchange of fire, only Ulysses, Alex, and Blaine are left alive among the main figures still standing at the end.
Ulysses and Alex then leave Normal together, and Ulysses returns to his role as an interim sheriff. Alex leaves with a new sense of purpose beside him, while Blaine remains in town, takes over as sheriff, and helps continue the cover-up of what really happened. The ending leaves Normal still functioning, with the town's criminal arrangement not fully exposed.
Who dies?
Yes. In Normal (2025), multiple characters die, and the deaths are tied to the town's hidden violence, a revenge killing, and the final eruption of chaos at the celebratory dinner.
-
The previous sheriff dies before Ulysses arrives. The film treats this as an earlier, suspicious death: Ulysses has "nagging suspicions" that the sheriff's death was actually hypothermia, not an accident or simple natural loss, and the sheriff's adult child Alex is left grieving and distraught. The source does not give a detailed on-screen scene for the death itself, so the exact moment and mechanics are only described as an earlier hypothermia-related death under investigation.
-
Moira dies when Alex shoots her. After Ulysses returns to the police station, Moira ambushes him and confesses that she killed the sheriff; she then prepares to kill Ulysses. Alex intervenes and kills Moira, explicitly avenging the sheriff's death. The timing is after Ulysses has gone back to the station, and the how is direct gun violence during the ambush.
-
The Yakuza leader dies when a wall-mounted shotgun falls and discharges accidentally during the dinner. The townspeople and Yakuza are gathered for a celebratory meal after the staged deal is accepted, when the mounted shotgun falls off the wall and fires, killing the Yakuza leader. The source describes this as an accidental discharge rather than an intentional shooting.
-
Several other people die in the violent melee that follows, but the summary only identifies the survivors, not the names of all the dead. It says that after the Yakuza leader's death, a violent melee breaks out from which only Ulysses, Alex, and one deputy survive. Based on that, at least some unnamed townspeople and/or Yakuza members die in the ensuing chaos, but the provided source does not list them individually.
If you want, I can also give you a character-by-character death list limited strictly to named characters mentioned in the available plot summary.
Is there a post-credit scene?
No. According to multiple after-credits trackers, Normal (2025) does not have a post-credit, mid-credits, or end-credits scene.
The available sources agree that the film ends without any extra footage during or after the credits, so there is nothing to describe beyond the main ending itself.
