During the final match, Simon accepts Mr. Smith's challenge to see his real skill before retirement. They call out columns and lines as Mr. Smith confidently sets up his killer moves. Between turns he fantasizes about torturing defeated opponents and even harming that kid, then forces himself to concentrate. He recalculates, executes a pincer on Column 8, Line 17 and declares, "I win." The episode ends with Smith's victory confirmed, but his earlier violent intentions toward the girl linger, leaving her safety immediately unresolved.
