(Final episode)
Request for assistance.
The suspect is with someone.
Please confirm the vehicle.
The vehicle number is 28 M 4740.
It's 28 M 4740.
I was drawing Han Cheol Ho's video.
Let's give it to the police first.
We can hand it out via e-mail.
Let's report them where they're keeping Do Yoon as well.
They can catch Cheol Ho there.
- We can't do that. - Why not?
With a happy ending like that,
your father will cease to exist.
My happy ending is a sad ending to the killer.
The problem is that whatever ending it is, once we have it,
either your father or I...
won't be by your side.
We'll either die...
or disappear.
We need to make a decision...
on what kind of ending it'll be.
How?
Why are you doing this?
Why are you taking off the rings?
What are you trying to do?
It's too cruel...
for a father to see his daughter die to avoid an extinction.
That can't happen.
I won't consider you as my family now.
You're free. You're safe no matter how this ends.
You need to make a choice now.
What kind of ending will it be?
I will follow your decision.
Who said you can take me out of your family register?
Why would you say such nonsense?
There's no ending where one of us disappears.
Why does it have to be that way?
We can...
all be together.
You'll live here forever?
Three of us...
can live together.
How can we live together?
I have to go to prison, and so does your father.
Both your father and I will stay in the prison for life.
If you behave well, they might reduce your term.
It doesn't mean we'll be happy here.
We will only see each other in the prison visiting room.
What's wrong with it?
It's better than not being able to see each other at all.
- Such normal ending is impossible. - It's possible.
Dad.
You.
I need both of you beside me. I can't think of any other option.
We will either die of sickness or due to old age.
We will just live like that.
Just like normal people.
We'll live a normal life like them.
You told me to decide.
That's my decision.
Draw a back door and a car.
If you can't make a decision now, we have to leave this place first.
You told me this at that time.
You said your husband never told you that he loved you.
I love you.
(Jayu Motel)
I have to get Do Yoon first.
Stay here for a while.
Sir, what happened? The police are after you.
Why is Do Yoon here?
Wait here for a while.
Chul is here.
Okay.
Chul is here.
- What about the tablet? - He wants to check this guy first.
Okay.
Do Yoon! Do Yoon!
Do Yoon.
- Take him straight to the hospital. - Yes, Sir.
How about you, Mr Kang?
Where is the tablet?
I don't have it.
I'll give you this instead.
From the video of you torturing me, it has all kinds of videos.
See it yourself.
I won't have you arrested right away.
But if you bother me again, I won't let it pass.
I got a lot of copies, you see.
Also know that catching me alone won't really do anything.
And stop looking for the tablet...
unless you really want to get a shot on your neck.
By the way,
I heard this ends when you die.
What?
Why are you...
While I was waiting for you, I heard something strange.
Two different worlds.
You should wait outside.
Pardon?
Can't you hear me? Wait outside.
Yes, Sir.
Do Yoon talked some nonsense. Maybe he heard it from you.
He said you're a lead character of a cartoon and I'm a villain.
The tablet belongs to the artist who drew it.
The cartoon that Oh Seong Moo drew.
I thought he had lost his mind,
but it somehow makes sense.
Everything that happened here a year ago...
is very strange indeed.
Hey.
How do you think I'm feeling now?
The election doesn't matter to me right now.
There is another world.
I was curious.
You could appear and disappear at will.
Why couldn't you escape while I beat you up to death?
Why would you stay in the prison?
Why?
Why? Why is that?
Why? Why on earth?
I thought it was because you didn't have the tablet,
but it was because this is the final episode.
I dosed up Do Yoon, and he told me everything.
It was because this is the final episode.
So...
either the lead character or the villain has to die for it to end.
I can go into that world only after it ends.
Hey.
Chul.
I know one thing for sure.
There is another world.
I went there once, thanks to you.
I need to check out that world more thoroughly.
Apparently, you need to die for me to do that.
Do Yoon wouldn't have lied to me to kill you.
All right.
Okay.
I don't need you any more.
I can find out the truth once I go there myself.
Die! Die, you jerk.
Die!
Sir. What's going on in there?
Sir. What's going on?
- Here is the key. - Give it to me.
Are you insane, you punks?
Why did you let him go in alone?
He told us to take you to the hospital. I thought he went to talk.
Mr Kang's out.
Hurry up.
Stop him.
(Do Yoon)
Hello?
Yeon Joo?
Is it you, Do Yoon? What happened? Did you get out?
Yes. I'm alive.
- I'm relieved. Where is Chul? - Where is Chul?
I thought you were with him.
No.
I saw him run away, but I can't reach him.
Where did he go to?
I'm looking for him.
He certainly got out of there.
Please text me the address there.
I will send some guys to guard you.
Okay.
The person you're trying to reach is not available.
Hello?
Can you...
pick me up?
Where are you?
My car ran out of petrol.
I can't go.
Where are you now? Why didn't you answer your phone?
I fell asleep for a second.
You fell asleep?
Where are you?
I'm not sure.
I'm in front of a bus stop.
Are you hurt?
A little bit.
Which bus stop is it?
Tell me the name of it. I'll be right there.
I can't really see.
I'll call you back.
Hello?
(Jayu Motel)
He just called me. I think he can't drive right now.
I don't know where he is yet.
When will the guards get here?
Please take care of my dad.
(Daeship-ri)
(Chul)
Hello?
I'm in Yangju.
It's Daeship-ri...
Station.
Hang in there. I'll be right there.
I think I'll get there first.
I can't take him to a hospital. What should I do?
I'll call his doctor.
Send him right over.
Hello?
Why aren't you coming?
I'm on my way, but it's farther than I thought.
I'm waiting for you.
I'm on my way. I'll be there soon.
The final episode...
wouldn't last long.
Of course it wouldn't.
Who would like such a boring ending?
Please come now.
I miss you.
I'm on my way.
I'm on my way to you now.
Please stay strong.
Please.
(Yeon Joo)
Do you hear me?
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
Do you hear me?
Hello?
I'm here.
Are you okay?
(The end)
(Daeship-ri)
Goodness.
What on earth?
How could no one answer the phone?
Goodness.
Gosh.
Shoot.
(Jayu Motel)
(I heard this ends when you die.)
Shoot.
Yeon Joo.
Yeon Joo, are you okay?
(The end)
Hey, where's Yeon Joo?
- She's in the emergency room. - Emergency room?
- Tell her to come see me after. - Yeon Joo is being treated...
- in the emergency room. - What?
- I heard she passed out. - She passed out?
Why?
Yeon Joo.
Why are you crying?
Did something happen to you?
Welcome.
Have you seen...
a man who looked like a patient?
- Like a patient? - Yes.
It's this man.
I'm sure he was somewhere here. Have you seen him around?
I haven't seen him.
Does he have dementia?
No, he's from a mental hospital.
He's not sane right now,
so he's probably lost. We must find him.
Please help me. He must be somewhere in this building.
Please help me look for him.
- He didn't come here. - Could you please check?
Wait, I'm glad to see you because I have a question for you.
Is that really the end of W?
Why did the lead character die instead of the villain?
I didn't want such a sad...
Please stop.
Shut your mouth.
If you say one more word...
What was that?
Gosh.
Why does he go crazy every time he sees me?
I feel hurt again.
- Yeon Joo. - Where's Dad?
He isn't at the motel.
W ended. Mr Oh should return like you, right?
No one has seen him around. I don't know what's going on.
What's wrong, Yeon Joo?
Where are you going?
Yeon Joo.
Yeon Joo, I told you the tablet is gone.
It disappeared as soon as the cartoon ended. It's not real anyway.
It was a drawn replica.
Even if it's here,
it won't help.
You know it's finished when it is.
It's really the end.
Dad?
(Looking for a person)
If you see this person, please contact me.
(Looking for a person)
Hello.
If you see this this person, please give us a call.
Thank you for your help.
Yeon Joo is the only one who hasn't accepted the reality.
After seven years of publication,
W ended in September of 2016.
(Kang Chul wins the gold medal in Men's 50m Pistol.)
I strongly ask for the maximum sentence, the death penalty.
As the lead character, Chul was given a tough life upon birth.
He refused the fate given by the writer.
He even refused the limitation of his existence.
He dreamt of a happy ending as a human.
Are you okay?
But he ended up getting defeated by his fate and was killed...
by a villain in front of the woman he loved.
Several journalists wanted to ask about the ending,
but the writer wasn't there to give the answers.
Even after the cartoon ended, Mr Oh didn't come back.
Most people didn't doubt the ending.
It was sad, but they considered it as a believable sad ending.
However.
(The end)
Nobody knew that it was not a sad ending.
What happened?
Sir.
Sir!
What happened?
Are you hurt?
Do Yoon, we just arrived.
He looks very serious.
And I overheard them.
I think Mr Kang got shot.
He got shot?
Han Cheol Ho shot him. We didn't know earlier.
He must've bled a lot.
Chul was shot by Han Cheol Ho?
Chul was shot?
Yes.
Where is Chul?
We don't know. We're still looking for him.
That's Do Yoon, right? Let me talk to him.
Come on.
You want me to untie you.
Untie it right now.
Yeon Joo told me never to untie you.
Please untie me.
No. If you need anything, you can ask the guys.
You hear it.
If I know the location, it's faster to help him with a tablet.
Untie me. Please untie me.
He's not normal.
He can suddenly become aggressive.
Okay, Sir.
He ran away?
You idiots. You got fooled by the man who got shot?
Kill him on the spot.
You don't need to bring him here, so kill him as soon as you see him!
Sir, you can't do this.
Why are you creating more problems? How will you handle them?
You could just let the police handle it.
This is not the right time.
Do you know when the right time is?
I could die any moment. What does it matter?
I could get killed any time.
That file Chul distributed is enough to kill me tomorrow.
How will you stop him? How?
Get out. Get lost!
- Sir. - What is it?
It's the man called Oh Seong Moo.
Who?
He said you'd recognise his name.
Hello?
It's me.
- Oh Seong Moo? - Yes.
I'm glad I caught you in your office.
You are Oh Seong Moo, the one I saw at the hospital?
Yes. I am the one who created you.
I created you.
As the villain.
What happened to you though?
You never used to get blood on your hands.
You fired a gun.
How can you be here?
The other time, I had to go there...
Did you shoot Chul because you wanted to catch me?
I was here.
Since a year ago.
What happened?
Do you also want to know the meaning of your existence?
When you have a lot of things you want to learn about,
you go crazy because you can't satisfy the curiosity.
The other ones also did that.
That's why I ended up like this.
But...
you shouldn't.
You want to be a president.
What do you think will happen to this world if you learn the truth?
You are a villain too.
It's too dangerous.
You will go with me.
I failed everything,
but I'll get rid of you before leaving.
No.
Save me.
Is anyone...
(I'm sorry to everyone.)
What is this?
"The truth of Son Hyeon Seok's death"?
I got that, too.
- Hello? - Did Yeon Joo...
go to Chul?
Yes.
Where are they? Tell me.
I want to see...
my daughter one last time.
We can't...
go together.
If you're happy,
I'm sad.
I'm here, Chul.
I love you,
my dear daughter.
Goodbye.
W ended...
not when Chul dies, but when the villains are gone.
The readers couldn't see the villains' end.
Contrary to his reason to exist, the killer helped Chul to be happy.
His last moment was edited out where he...
disappeared due to the contradiction.
Isn't that him?
Chul!
- Sir. - Chul!
Nobody knew that...
Chul didn't die,
and the webtoon just ended before he survived.
Chul.
How are you feeling?
I thought you died.
Where is Yeon Joo?
She's not here.
I only found her car.
That's when Chul realised...
his role as the lead character was over.
Well... I haven't checked on that.
I arrived in Seoul just now.
I'll check that for you now.
Okay.
The video file of Congressman Han kidnaps and tortures Mr Kang Chul,
the recorded call of him with Han Sang Hoon, the killer who died...
and the recorded call of him...
inciting a gangster to murder Mr Kang spread on the internet.
The police announced that they're tracking the source.
After Congressman Han's suicide was reported on the news...
Did Han Cheol Ho die?
Hey, So Hee.
Are you okay? You were shot.
I almost died. They sent me here right after I got better.
Your murder charge has been cleared. Your sentence won't be that long.
I'm sorry.
For what?
I suspected you, and didn't call you.
I would've suspected myself. I pretended to be dead.
You suspected me, and didn't call me.
I was glad.
What do you mean?
You proved that you can have your life on your own.
I couldn't find Mr Oh Seong Moo.
I can't reach him after he called and said he will go see Yeon Joo.
He left his car there.
- You can't find him? - I can't even find any trace.
That's right. He left a letter to you.
I'll give it to you with a book.
(To Chul)
To Chul.
I hoped you would let me go in peace,
but I finally had to leave here myself.
I'm already dead.
My soul is terminally ill.
I can't be sure when I'll go crazy again.
I'm going to end my life here today.
You'll go out to the real world,
and I'll end my life here.
You'll become a human,
and I'll be left as a cartoon character.
You'll escape the set-up I made.
I'll be stuck in the set-up...
and die.
Isn't life funny?
Be happy.
Make Yeon Joo happy.
And...
if you meet Yeon Joo,
tell her I'm still alive...
so she won't be sad.
Tell her that...
I'm happy in this world.
In the world of the cartoon I drew.
Chul spent two more years in the prison...
to end the world of W in the right way.
Time passed slowly.
Are you going out?
- I'm going to see a friend. - You should rest.
What happened to your dad? It's been over a week now.
He will come back if we wait for a few more days.
Dad.
Hello?
Yes, this is Yeon Joo's phone.
Yeon Joo left her phone at home.
Who's calling, please?
Are you awake?
How do you feel?
I told your mum to go back home.
I thought she'd ask me many questions,
but she didn't say much.
I couldn't tell her I was your husband.
I said I was your boyfriend.
By the way,
was the last place you saw Yeon Joo a bus station?
Yes.
Pardon me, but what do you do?
Right.
I was in a hurry, so I gave her this business card,
but she didn't say much.
I spent two years in prison,
but only a week passed by here.
I was worried that the time had passed at the same rate.
I was worried you'd die after being sad alone for two years.
I felt so relieved.
What about my dad?
Did you know...
that I'm three years older than you?
You must treat me like I'm older than you.
I spent three more years that were tough.
- Okay, Yeon Joo? - Gosh.
Did it...
really end?
Yes.
It really...
ended, right?
It really ended.
Kang Chul's story in the cartoon had a happy ending,
but the ending of Chul and Yeon Joo's story...
is unclear yet.
However...
The two will no longer be at the risk of death.
Though it may be boring and ordinary, I hope their story...
will continue for 50 years.
Just like other ordinary couples.
(Thank you for watching W.)
(Please look forward to "W Special 2".)
