Cooper sees who the old woman is in the trap

WARNING: SPOILERS ahead for Trap.

At the end, Cooper sees a mysterious old woman Catch. Josh Hartnett plays a serial killer who disguises himself as a supportive father Catch. Hartnett has made a major comeback in recent years after appearing in Black mirror Season 6 and Christopher Nolan's Best Picture winner Oppenheimer. Catch also features the feature film debut of Shyamalan's daughter Saleka as pop singer Lady Raven, who plays an important role in the cast of Catch. Saleka's Lady Raven sings and performs throughout Catch at a concert venue where Hartnett's Cooper is being set up. Most of the original music in Catch was specially produced by Saleka under her fictional pop star name Lady Raven.

Until the end CatchAfter Lady Raven reveals the truth about his identity as a serial killer to his family, Cooper has skillfully found his way out of many difficult situations. As the police close in, Cooper escapes and takes Lady Raven hostage, eventually returning to his home to seek revenge on his wife, who he believes trapped him at Lady Raven's first concert Location. Cooper realizes that he has been poisoned and approaches his wife one last time with a kitchen knife. An old woman stands in the doorway and talks to Cooper, luring him in and questions Cooper's perception of reality.

The old woman Cooper sees trapped is his mother

During the climax of Catch, Cooper sees his mother standing in the doorway of his house as he stands over his wife in the kitchen with a cleaver. His mother says: “It's amazing that you're angry, my son,“Which completely shifts Cooper’s focus from his wife to his mother. Cooper is stunned to see her, even though she doesn't want to go into the house. He admits: “I thought I was just pretending.” She reassures him by saying: “Not all of you are monsters. You are my son. And that's you. End of story.“She lures Cooper closer to her as she stands at the door and tells him, “Let me see you one last time.”

With a touch of the strange mother-son dynamic between Norma and Norman Bates and Alfred Hitchcock PsychoCooper's mother seems to be his only voice of reason and comfort. He seems to stare transfixed as she stands in the doorway as he shows her his true monstrous form and she accepts him for who he really is. “I accept you,” she tells him, which may be something Cooper had never heard from his mother as a child. The film suggests this Cooper's damaged relationship with his mother had fundamental and profound effects on his psyche throughout his childhood and adult life.

Unfortunately, it turns out to be another trap he falls into, and it appears to be the final step in their elaborate game of cat and mouse. Cooper's mother is barely mentioned in the film before her shocking appearance in the climax, leaving many questions unanswered Catch. Its purpose was solely to introduce the idea Cooper's relationship with her as a child was dysfunctional and possibly unsafe.
