Who were the people at the end? **Possible Spoiler**


Who were those people toward the end and why were the men in black so afraid of them? My theory is that they were supposed to be a representation of modern day "slaves". Slaves of an oppressive society, low paying jobs, drugs, etc. I don't have a clue why the aliens were so afraid of them though. I would appreciate any help or insight. Thanks!

They are other Three-toes who won't let The Brother be taken by the MIB - the Three-toe equivalent of Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad. The MIB know they're out-numbered & run for it.

Yep, that's my read on it!

Agree. Seemed as clear as a bell to me. Previously escaped three-toe slaves.
