After leaving the island and the games behind, In-ho had found it his duty to deliver all prize money to its rightful owner. Whether it was leaving the daughter of player 222 with his brother and prize money, or taking a long winded trip to Los Angeles to deliver the remaining money and jacket of player 456, Seong Gi-hun, to his daughter.

Being escorted before he could be questioned by the girl, he found himself stuck in the thick traffic of LA. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a distressing sight, rolling down his window to get a better view: a blond woman in a suit, playing ddakji in a dirty alley with a homeless man. The games would continue, with or without him.
