Unspeakable Sins ending explained: Who killed Claudio, and what happened to Ivan and Helena in the finale of the Mexican erotic thriller?
Unspeakable Sins ending explained: Netflix's Unspeakable Sins throws you into a storm of secrets, power, and betrayal. The Spanish thriller follows Helena, a woman stuck in a marriage with Claudio, an abusive, dangerous businessman with connections to the elite. When she meets Ivan, a young escort, everything begins to spiral. From sex tapes to lies, blackmail to murder, the show doesn't hold back.
By the end, viewers are left with a lot of questions. Who really killed Claudio? Were the tapes destroyed? What exactly was Ivan's role? And who's watching them in that final scene? If you're still thinking about it, you're not alone. Let's break it down.
Unspeakable Sins recap: Helena, Ivan, and Claudio's dangerous game
Helena is married to Claudio, but is completely controlled by him. He beats her, tracks her, and threatens to ruin her life. Out of desperation, she starts seeing Ivan, a sex worker, and the two fall for each other. But their relationship turns into a risky plan: record a sex tape to blackmail Claudio into leaving Helena.

Of course, it doesn't go that smoothly. Claudio disappears, and Helena becomes the prime suspect. Ivan, too, finds himself pulled deeper into the mess. The show slowly reveals that Claudio was part of a network of secret sex parties, using hidden cameras to blackmail other powerful men, like politicians, businessmen, and police officials. Once Claudio disappears, everyone wants those tapes.
Unspeakable Sins ending explained: Who killed Claudio?
At first, we thought Claudio's dead. But he's alive and hiding, still scheming, still dangerous. He resurfaces just when you least expect him, and suddenly, the threats begin again. Helena and Ivan are once again in trouble.
In episode 7, Claudio finally ends up dead. But this time, it's real. For most of the final episode, it seems like Ivan may have killed him. He was at the scene, and evidence is slowly piling up. Helena herself starts to wonder if Ivan could have done it without telling her, but that's not what happened.
In a late flashback, we see the real story. It was Helena who murdered Claudio.
Last night I watched the first ep of #UnspeakableSins on @NetflixUK. A woman flees her abusive hubby, then spends 13 Thursdays getting back at him with a hot escort but it unravels when they go on a cinema date. AI title? Could have been Unimaginable Evil/Beyond Wickedness! 6/10
She waits for the right moment, sneaks into Claudio's home while he's asleep, and deletes the backups of the sex tapes from his hidden drive. She wears gloves, moves quietly, and stabs him. It's not just murder, it's freedom. Claudio had manipulated her, threatened her life, and kept her trapped for years. This time, Helena took control.
She tells no one. Ivan finds out when he returns later and discovers Claudio's body. At first, he's shocked, but he understands later on. Claudio wasn't just a problem for Helena; he had threatened Ivan's son, too. Ivan helps her cover it up. He burns his clothes, cleans the scene, and keeps quiet.
The police believe Claudio's death was an internal betrayal or revenge for blackmail. Nobody suspects Helena, and with Claudio finally gone, Helena and Ivan can finally breathe, or so it seems.
What happened to the sex tapes in the Unspeakable Sins?
The sex tapes were Claudio's weapon, footage from his secret sex parties used to control powerful men. Helena deletes most of them before killing him, but not all are gone.
Earlier in the season, we see a press conference where some of the tapes are leaked, including one of Helena and Ivan. While this tape forces Helena to publicly admit to her affair, it helps her image; people see her as a victim of Claudio's abuse. Still, the question remains: how many tapes are left? Were copies made? Did someone else get access? This takes us to the biggest twist.
What happened in the final scene of Unspeakable Sins?
In the last scene, Helena and Ivan are in Los Angeles, far away from the mess. They look relaxed, finally at peace. But just before the credits roll, a new camera feed appears, and someone is watching them.
We don't know who it is. It could be someone from Claudio's inner circle. Maybe Rafael, the lawyer who helped clean up Claudio's crimes or Octavio, who knew about the tapes or even someone else who was blackmailed and wants revenge. It's a reminder that even though Claudio is dead, the mess he left behind isn't gone. The tapes, the secrets, the network, it could all come back.
Will Unspeakable Sins get a second season?
The ending of Unspeakable Sins gives closure, but not comfort. Claudio is dead. Helena and Ivan are free, but there's a camera watching. A past that could return? It's a warning, sins don't stay buried. Helena got her justice, but she also crossed a line. Ivan stood by her, but now they both carry that secret. And whoever is behind that new camera? They could be the next danger.
So, is it really over? Probably not. And Netflix may just be setting up for a second season.
