'1000 Babies' Finale Recap and Ending Explained

The thrilling series 1000 Babies, directed by Najeem Koya, follows the intense journey of CI Aji Curian, a police officer, who uncovers dark secrets about baby-swapping and murders. Aji learns that his superiors had known about these sinister events but chose to keep them hidden, fearing the chaos that the truth would bring. As he delves deeper, he finds that this silence only led to more horror. Let’s dive into the events of the finale and answer some key questions about the ending.

What Did Bibin’s Mother Reveal to Him?

In the beginning, we see Bibin losing control after learning a dark truth from his mother, Sara. She reveals that, years ago, when she was a nurse in Alappuzha, she swapped 1000 newborns. This meant that many children, including Bibin, grew up unaware of their true families. Bibin, hurt and angered by this revelation, kills his mother and then embarks on a disturbing mission to find other swapped children. He observes their lives and determines their fate based on how they’ve lived. If they abused power or exploited others, Bibin made sure they met a grim end.

How Did Bibin Carry Out His Murders?

Bibin was smart, strategic, and untraceable. He manipulated people, winning their trust before orchestrating their deaths, often making it appear as though they’d taken their own lives. His careful planning allowed him to evade authorities, even misleading them for a long time. But when Aji Curian began investigating a murder case involving actress Ancy, the game changed.

How Did Aji Curian Get Closer to Bibin?

While investigating Ancy’s murder, Aji discovered that her husband, Sanjeev, had killed her, influenced by a mysterious storyteller who had nudged him into doing so. This “storyteller” was actually a pawn placed by Bibin to stir up chaos. Bibin used these agents to push his targets into extreme actions. Aji soon pieced together Bibin’s method: he located the swapped children, observed their lives, and befriended them. Bibin killed them on their birthdays without leaving any clues, confident that his web of deceit would hold up against the police.

Why Did Bibin Continue His Killing Spree?

Bibin’s ultimate aim was to punish those he deemed unworthy of life. While his mother’s actions ruined lives, Bibin felt that the authorities who covered up the truth were just as guilty. Most of Bibin’s murders were carried out personally, but he also had allies. For instance, a letter carrier delivered messages to a woman named Merlin, and a storyteller encouraged Sanjeev to murder his wife. Bibin’s charm and cunning made him a master manipulator, even winning over influential people like local leader Devan, whose wrongdoings he later exposed to the public. Bibin also tricked a woman named Renuka, leading her down a destructive path of drug addiction, which ultimately caused her death through poisoned drugs.

Did Aji Curian Capture Bibin?

In the final episode, Bibin orchestrates a plan to get himself caught, hoping to expose the truth through a public trial. Aji, however, received orders from his superiors, Samuel and Nawaz, to kill Bibin and silence him. But Aji couldn’t bring himself to do it, believing in giving Bibin a chance to reveal everything in court. However, things took a shocking turn when Aji’s junior officer, Vinod, acted impulsively and killed Bibin. Aji was furious, realizing that Bibin’s death meant losing crucial information that could expose the truth about the swapped babies and their families.

What Happens in the Cliffhanger Ending?

The season ends with many unanswered questions. Sara’s diaries, detailing the babies she swapped, were in Bibin’s possession, except for the 1985 diary, which went missing. This diary could hold key details for Aji’s investigation. Aji also suspects a mole within the police department, as vital information kept leaking. He believes that Ansari, one of Bibin’s loyal followers who was possibly swapped as a baby, might be the mole. This suspicion grows stronger when Ansari receives a mysterious message and kills a tea stall boy, signaling that Bibin’s influence lives on through others.

What’s Next for Aji Curian?

As the series wraps up, Aji faces a daunting task: uncover the truth while protecting 1000 families affected by Sara’s actions. The authorities prefer the matter remains hidden, leaving Aji to fight the battle alone. While Bibin’s loyalists continue their deadly mission, Aji’s investigation becomes a race against time. The challenge is whether Aji can stop further bloodshed and, if he does bring the truth to light, how it might reshape the lives of the victims.
