Us ending explained

At the start of the movie, the viewers are told that the doubles cannot function as other humans. This is because the doubles do not have a soul as the government was not able to replicate it. It is also suggested that the doubles cannot replicate the soul as it is a luxury and it has to be earned. It is also suggested that Red replaced Adelaide at a young age and because of this, the double was able to become what she is seen in the film. Other doubles are not able to live like Red as they cannot kill and replace the original body.

And on the other hand, Adelaide has spent decades underground and has gone crazy. This craziness leads to her putting together the murderous uprising of the doubles.
