Its not necessarily Gi-hun turning back to get revenge.
Spoilers ahead forSquid GameSeason 1.Nothing is as it seems in theSquid Gamefinale.
To fullyexplain theSquid Gameending, lets rewind a bit.
Youre the one who killed them, Gi-hun says as he punches Sang-woo and weeps.
He apologizes and then dies by suicide, as the gold-masked VIPs watch passively from an enclosed balcony.
Later, Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) explains that the games were created as entertainment for the rich.
You bet on horses.
Its the same here, but we bet on humans.
Youre our horses, he says.
Gi-hun never sees Front Mans face, and hes dropped off on a random street.
But he discovers her dead on the floor of their apartment, having succumbed to her untreated diabetes.
Traumatized, Gi-hun drinks and doesnt touch the money for a full year.
He seems intent to keep it that way until an old woman offers him a rose by the beach.
Attached to it is a black envelope with the games signature pink ribbon on it.
11:30 p.m. Sky building, 7th floor.
From your gganbu, the card reads.
Player 001 reveals his name is Oh Il-nam, and, surprise, hes the creator of the games.
Il-nams death would suggest the end of the games, but thats not the case at all.
Another unexplained thread is whether the police know about the games now.
And we definitely dont know whats going on with the game guards.
Who are all of these young men?
Why do they live in prison-like conditions that practically mirror what the players experience?
Are they also in debt in some way?
The final moments of the show confirm In-ho is moving ahead with the games.
He leaves them with a bag full of cash and promises hell return.
(Somewhere in there, he also gets a rather questionable haircut and dye job.)
While Gi-hun started the show being self-serving, this new Gi-hun cant let this revelation go.
He turns away from his flight and calls the number.
So its not necessarily Gi-hun turning back to get revenge.
