He explains that he and his wealthy clients came up with the game because they no longer felt joy since having everything also meant nothing could excite them. Il-nam called Gi-hun to his death bed to play one last game and explain the origin of the game itself. Turns out he didn’t die in the marbles round and is the creator of the game. There Gi-hun finds Il-nam, the old man (001), his game companion. One night, he receives an invite to Seoul’s tallest building, wrapped in a game-like black envelope and magenta bow, from his “gganbu.” He’s barely spent any of the money, and he has no plans to start now, as he’d rather drink a beer on the bank of the Han River. In a classic K-drama flash-forward, we see Gi-hun with a depression beard one year later.
With the guilt of 456 people’s death hanging over him, Gi-hun emotionally shuts down. With his mom dead, and his daughter on her way to Los Angeles, his family is gone. When he gets to the small apartment he shared with his mother, she’s dead, having passed two days ago while he was still in the game. She also asks after Sang-woo, a quick stab to Gi-hun’s tender heart.

(That the PIN is his number is its own kind of lasting horror.) He runs into Sang-woo’s mother on the walk home, who gives him free food and tells him his mom hasn’t gone to work for two days. Gi-hun is tossed out onto a Seoul street in the rain a gold debit card with his winnings shoved in his mouth. Gi-hun gets a ride back to civilization with the Front Man, who toasts him on his victory and compares the deathmatch to Gi-hun’s own gambling on horse racing, except “you people are the horses.” He says that he didn’t expect Gi-hun to “run this far.” Before Gi-hun is gassed, the Front Man tells him to think of the game as a dream that has already faded away, one that wasn’t so bad anyway. Gi-hun doesn’t realize it until he’s dropped back in Seoul, but he also doesn’t have a home to go back to either. He ends the game by stabbing himself in the neck, and his finals words are an unfinished plea for Gi-hun to help his mom. The money was his last chance to salvage that. But now there’s nothing to go home to anymore. As Sang-woo faces the end, he reminisces when he and Gi-hun would finish playing, and their mothers would call them home. He said several times that he couldn’t go back to his old life without enough money to make his problems disappear.
Sang-woo has only thought ahead the whole time, doing anything to get through each round to get closer to the money and a new life. Gi-hun always had a line he refused to cross, even for 45.6 billion won. But before ending the game, he asks the guard to vote to end the game and spare Sang-woo’s life. First, he plants the knife in the dirt next to Sang-woo’s head and walks over to the “squid’s head” finish line as a guard trains a rifle on the fallen player. But when it comes to killing Sang-woo, GI-hun can’t do it. Gi-hun eventually pins Sang-woo down and holds the knife to his old friend’s face. Gi-hun’s rage and determination keep fighting through a stab to the thigh and the hand. Gi-hun tells Sang-woo that he won’t let him leave with the money. Sang-woo admits he killed Sae-byeok to avoid her and Gi-hun teaming up against him. Gi-hun and Sang-woo begin to argue as the rain starts pouring. Before his first attack, a fistful of sand in Sang-woo’s face, Gi-hun reminds Sang-woo that they used to play the violent squid game as kids.
Of course, should either of them die, the winner would be the last man standing. To win, he has to make it to the “squid’s eye,” past defender Sang-woo, who needs to push him out of the grid. The final round takes place on the same playground as the first, but Gi-hun takes the offense this time. Even they understand the gravity of the final deathmatch. Even the VIPs’ skybox is plain, all the tacky decorations gone. All the better to use Gi-hun’s pure rage going into the final round. Gi-hun wins the coin toss and chooses offense (Sang-woo will be on the defense) in a dark tunnel, and it looks like the game starts immediately after Sae-byeok’s death. There’s no preamble to the final round, no stair room, no “The Blue Danube.” The episode begins with establishing shots: the squid game field, the two players left on the control room board. All of the artifice drops in the Squid Game finale.
