Kingsman: The Golden Circle recap
A year later, Eggsy is the new Galahad and lives with Princess Tilde of Sweden. Charlie, a rejected Kingsman candidate with a robotic arm, attacks him and hacks Kingsman's data. Poppy Adams, the head of a drug cartel, the Golden Circle, who runs her empire from a 1950s-themed hideout in the Cambodian jungle, destroys Kingsman's headquarters and agents with missiles. Only Eggsy and Merlin survive, and their doomsday protocol leads them to Kentucky and Statesman, an American spy agency hidden behind a whiskey distillery, with agents Champagne, Tequila, Whiskey and Ginger Ale. They find Harry alive, saved by Statesman, but without his memory, and they restore it. Poppy has laced her drugs with a toxin that will kill all users unless the U.S. president legalises drugs, and the president plans to let them die. Eggsy plants a tracker on the girlfriend of Charlie at Glastonbury.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle ending explained
Eggsy, Harry and Whiskey attack Poppy Land, and Merlin dies stepping on a landmine to save the others. Whiskey turns out to be working against them, and Harry kills him in a meat grinder. Eggsy kills Charlie, and Poppy, injected with an overdose by Eggsy and Harry, gives up the code to release the antidote before dying. Eggsy marries Tilde, and Statesman buys a distillery in Scotland to help rebuild Kingsman, with Tequila joining as a new agent.
