Breathe: Into The Shadows Ending Explained

The Breathe Into The Shadows plot makes the biggest revelation in its fifth episode itself that the kidnapper is none other than Abhishek's character himself. The kidnapper is Avinash's alter ego 'J' which was born due to his split personality disorder because of his several childhood traumas in the past. This vengeful J walks with a limp and is hell-bent to punish those responsible for his traumas through the ideal Avinash. 

The finale episode of the show sees Amit's character catching Avinash aka J who is sent to a psychiatric facility while his wife Abha is spared despite being an accomplice to the murders. When his wife comes to visit him in the facility, he assures her that J has not 'taken control' of him for a year. But at the same time, Avinash gives a piece of paper with the words 'C-16' written on it to Saiyami Kher's character seeking her help for a break-out presumably from the facility.

The end of the episode sees Abhishek limping which suggests that he was lying to his wife and the psychopath J has taken complete control of his mind. This may also hint towards the third season which will see J create more havoc after his downward spiral.
