as a child), and both Gi-hun and Sang-woo receive knives beforehand, making the round a fight to the death. Gi-hun ends up overpowering Sang-woo, but he offers his friend the chance to end the Game and forfeit the money rather than dying. Sang-woo stabs himself in the neck instead, and Gi-hun, the last player alive, wins the prize money.He doesn't spend any of it, though. For a year, Gi-hun lives as a beggar, after discovering that his elderly mother had died while he was in the Game.
It turns out that, not only did Il-nam survive the Game, he's actually one of its founders. In a long death-bed explanation, Il-nam tells Gi-hun that he and his uber-rich friends created the Game in the 80s, as a form of entertainment. Il-nam says that his obscene wealth meant that there was no excitement in his life, until he began betting on the players. He entered this year's Game because he actually is dying of a brain tumor, and he wanted to experience it as a player before he died.
Il-nam has also summoned Gi-hun for another small game. He asks Gi-hun to bet on the fate of a man who has passed out in the winter night below, saying that the man will die of cold because no one will stop to help him. Gi-hun bets"everything he has" that someone will stop to help the man, believing that at least someone will care enough to help. The bet, a question of whether people are inherently caring or selfish, ends with Gi-hun winning, as cops pull over and help the man.
With that, the show has a seemingly happy ending, with Gi-hun headed to the airport to visit his daughter in the U.S. His plans change, though, when he spots the Game Recruiter playing ddakji with a man in the subway. Though Gi-hun continues on to the airport, the possibility of a new Game eats at him, and he stares at the business card that he took away from the new recruit.
