this was the saddest scene. ali won the marble game fair and square and sangwoo didn’t want to lose so he took advantage of the trust and friendship that had formed between them. ali deserved to win.
@@griswo3272 Idk why do you exist.. Your ideology disgusts me.. You are justifying betraying, cheating, lying... I bet you do all these things in your real life cuz it's not wrong according to you ! Ali was an extremely nice and humble guy and if everyone in this world was like him then I would stop calling this world "Rotten", and yes due to people like the betrayer (and you) this world is rotten.. I hope you realize your mistake :)
@@may2233 calm down, you can´t claim to know my ideology from one small comment in an extraordinary situation, also to my apply this supposed ideology you seem to think i have on my whole existence, is really unjustified the squidgame is a deathgame and yes ali is a great person with family,but to expect sang woo to just say:"yeah you won time for me to die" is just not how every person will operate. survial instinct is a thing and if a person needs to cheat,betray to survive in a freaking deathgame, then i will for sure not condemn the person for doing that. I think you should realize the world is not black and white and making silly assumptions about me and not so subtly implying the world is better without me is not what I would call very nice. I wish you a good day
I appreciate your humble reply but I still don't get why would you justify that.. Betrayer guy would've died if he had not betrayed Ali,,,,, So he cheated, lied, killed someone else to save himself.. and that's because he was a spineless coward, a looser, parallel to a girl who sacrificed her life for sae-byouk, she didn't even play the game, while the betrayer guy lost, fair and square and then cheated, he was simply a spine less coward for whom I have no respect in my heart.. problem 1 solved ; you can't justify his act 2nd problem ; people are saying Ali was stupid to believe him... First ALI trusted him soo much and he didn't want to have any feelings of suspicion towards his friend, then he Just wanted there to be a way where both of them would be able to survive, he wanted it to soo bad that he agreed to risk his life for it and then.. aaah : I bet somewhere in his heart Ali knew he'd get betrayed.. of course he knew the (betrayer) *could* cheat, but ; Ali was just soo nice and couldn't bring himself to say 'no' to the betrayers plan and put his life on the line for that ; that's brave, not a cowardly act,, You see now.. he probably didn't regret his decision before death.. I hope you are satisfied with the answer and..plz reply yes or no, I would love to debate on this topic
@@may2233 i appreciate your answer and i dont mind at all, well lets get the easy problem the second one out first. I dont think Ali was stupid at all, at worst you could say he was naive, but that comes hand in hand with his kind heart because he sees the best in people, which makes it easy to take advantage of. for the first problem: "it may be for YOU not justifable(which is totaly ok, difference in opinion) how sang woo acts, but for ME a person wanting to survive a deathgame at all costs is natural, that is not to say how the others choose their fate is wrong, ji yeong sacriface was very touching, but like I said not wanting to die in a deathgame justifys cheating,betraying for me personaly. what i would like to know is the fact that he cheats/betraying what annoys you the most or that he did for himself. For example if sang woo had an sister who is sick and an operation to surive is necessary and he needs the money to make it happen, would then cheating, betrayal be acceptable for you? regardless, i think your fury is more suited for the sick people who set this game up in the first place, they are the truly evil people here.
Gi Hun might do a season 2 defeating the squid game We saw how easy it is to follow them like the Detective did, Gi Hun fighting the pink soldiers to bring justice to Those who died
For the people calling calling Ali stupid, most viewers wouldn’t expect the rocks to be in the bag. They sounded exactly like marbles and Ali trusted sang-woo so much
@@xmelonx6127 I facepalmed the moment he gave his bag to Sang-Woo. It's obvious everyone was hungry for that money and to stay alive, so yeah even if he checked the bag, Sang-Woo would probably have resisted
He was always my favourite character, he didn’t even look in the bag to check, he trusted Sang-woo that much. I knew his huge kind heart would be the death of him, but his death still totally broke me, especially since a few minutes after this scene the “Kang Sae-byeok! Thanks for playing with me.” scene happened, doubling the crying.
@Cash moneyy I disagree. The old man knew he had very little time left and he knew the guards wouldn't kill him anyways. It was totally messed up for him to even try to win vs 456. He should've just given him the Marbles after everything he did for him.
Ali was so innocent to sang woo they promised that they would get out alive. If he looked in his well sang woo’s pouch earlier then he would of saw the stones
By then sang woo already had the marbles and wouldn’t have given them back so ali lost the second he gave his pouch … the only difference would be that sang woo had to look at him while giving the marbles to the soldier
Every major characters death was foreshadowed in previous scenes… Ali’s was with his previous employer who also manipulated him. This death hurt the most for me because he’s a genuinely good man. He’s just gullible and easily taken advantage of.
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 Yeh sang woo attempts suicide on his back in a bath tub fully dressed in a suit and wet, sang woo actually commits suicide on his back in the rain fully dressed in a suit and wet.

It's not sang woo's fault either obviously ali deserved to win but his survival instincts kicked in to survive, he cared about ali but wouldn't sacrifice himself for ali, you could tell he felt uncomfortable by the flinch
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 nah - sang wu is a POS - that’s how he ended up there. He got an education, and could have made money through work - but he decided to cheat in his job and in his game. He lacks integrity period - no matter the context.
San Woo isn't a villain as such. He's trying to survive, as is everyone in the game. It's easy to judge what he did, but he was fscing death if he didn't. Honestly, most people would do the same. Survivalism is a powerful thing.
When Ali looked at the rocks, you can see his life flash, the betrayal, the lost of his wife and kid who will never know what happened to him, it all rushed into his head and you can see that in his tears….. rip Ali you were one of my favs
He knew that his fate was sealed as soon as he shook hands with Sang-Woo. Not because Sang-Woo would betray him, but because Ali was never going to be responsible for his death
@@ifrit999 Well I've cried on anime and deaths for 20 minutes as well.. I didn't cry in squid games but.. It's a weird sad feeling I can't get over.. deep in my heart.. It hurts :(
I feel like Ali is the most important character we should learn from. Apart from the fact that he can be our role model, such as being kind, helping others, being strong and making some people memorize us and learn to make others have a best time, we should also partly avoid being like him, because he was naive and trusted people way too much, and made it so easy for others to set you up. As much as I would love to be a kind person like Ali, he shows us that sometimes kindness brings us bad. So I think we can all agree that Ali is both a role model and a presentation of what we should not be
Ali is the perfect example of who we should all be, but we should never be on our own. The world is a cruel place, and we need to learn that as early as possible, or the Sang-Woos will throw us under the bus
You can be kind but still be smart and not naive. He should not have been in that game in the first place talk less of trusting him. Only one person can win & will come out of this alive. Why did he believe him?
After seeing another comment that says the word Ali shouts out to Sang Woo, "Hyung", means brother (At least I think it does) in Korean, it makes this scene even more difficult to watch.
@@DarkArkham2 It's true.. Hyung is used amongst guys in Korea that have formed a very close, trusting bond and is only used between siblings or people that are as close as siblings. In this scene, Ali literally died calling out "older brother".
Hyung is a term men use to refer to other men that they're close to. "Hyung" does literally mean "older brother", but Ali uses it to refer to Sang Woo because he trusted him so much (he also drops calling him "sir" in exchange for Hyung". Translating it as "brother" for people not into K-media would have been confusing since he's not calling him his actual brother. Putting his name there works perfectly because Hyung substitutes his name.
@@Watamote_ id have to disagree. “Bro” or “brother” is a very common English phrase men use to talk to other men they are close to. I don’t think it would of been totally lost on a person not into Korean media. And I think by not adding it in it takes away the significance of Ali’s death and the actual emotions in it. It shows how closely he viewed their relationship.
0:49 Can physically tell Ali's death flipped a switch in Sang Woo, because from here on out he becomes more ruthless. He may be trying to help his mom, but in the process I think this is the point where Sang Woo lost whatever humanity he had left.
He isnt really trying to help his mom, he was the one who spent his company's money himself and is under debt now. The only one he is trying to help is himself. Ali had a family, sae byeok had her brother to return to. He betrayed both.
Yea I don’t think he would have survived the glass round. I could just see someone pushing him and I know he wouldn’t do that to anyone else. Also he prob wouldn’t have survived squid game cuz he didn’t play that in his childhood
I don’t think he would’ve been able to push the glass maker as easily as Sang Woo did and the rest of them barely made it in time so yeah I don’t think he would have survived that anyway ;-;
i always knew that sang-woo was less merciful than everyone else but when he betrayed ali and finished off sae-byeok, i really hated him because they were my favorite characters. but he was also always more logical, and despite how wrong it seems from the outside, everything he said to defend himself made sense.
Bro sangwoo's mom got a whole shop she could live off + he doesn't have a family like Ali who can't afford basic life needs, I don't care that sang woo did what he did to survive he still is a bitch and it shows from the candy game where he didn't help Gi hun in choosing a circle instead of the umbrella and that was the first warning sign that sang woo is a little bitch who not only lied and stole money from his mom but also is selfish to the point that he's willing to step on other people just to save his ass.. thanks for reading my ted talk.
This character almost made me cry after he was betrayed his character is and the way his life end almost felt like it actaully happend hes my fav character
In a broader sense, this scene represents how the people of regions near south Asia are repeatedly exploited by wealthier nations due to educational and wealth disparity. The story's incorporation of Ali humanized people that are rarely ever represented.
Fucking hell This episode hit me like a truck. Ali was the most difficult character to hate, he had a wife and kids, and the most kind hearted character ive ever seen and seeing how easily he can be manipulated by his peers scares me because in the real world people who are kind hearted and mercuful can be manipulated and taken advantage of just for their own gain, sometimes leading to death. I understand why sangwoo had to do it but seriously man? This episode was an emotional rollercoaster, especially with Ali being betrayed and Jiyeong letting herself die with the "Thank you for playing with me"
ali has a wife and kids and he wasn’t a gambler or a dead beat dad, he was intelligent and brave, moved to a new country and learned a new language, he just got mostly unlucky and had an awful scammer for a boss. 218 is a highly educated scammer and embezzler who got caught. ice cold and threw everyone (remember letting 456 choose umbrella even tho he knew?) under the bus at every opportunity. He should have sacrificed himself, which SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER he ultimately did when he killer himself, knowing 456 would take care of his mother, which is all he wanted. 218 was dead before it all began, when he was in the bathtub. rip ali ❤️
@@tdevil101 Just because the dude got confused with marbles and rocks (Same sound, same texture) doesn't mean he's not intelligent. Really it takes a smart mind to get through even one game, it's strategic.
@@yourlonglostsecondhandcous4107 I’m speaking in a general sense. For example, he didn’t know what odd and even numbers are. I’m not saying he was dumb, I’m just saying he’s not well educated.
The way they acted this scene out was so good. Ali being unaware at first of the betrayal as the camera shows Sang Woo exiting, after hearing no response from Sang Woo he becomes suspicious and checks his bag, only to see rocks inside it. Ali looked so heartbroken, he was speechless; it was such a depressing scene. The moment Sang Woo heard the gunshot, he shook. Sang Woo really liked him, he saw him as a brother, but he had no choice, he needed to live. It was cold and he knew it.
Ali was a polite, kind, heroic, mature, sensible, smart, obedient guy and it was so refreshing to see someone that didn't go insane from all the killing. He was the true hero he was a top G and he did not deserve to die this way but thats why this scene is so compelling. You could see the tears from his eyes as he knew he was betrayed by his closest buddy from the game and when he gets shot u see sang-woo flinch. the friendship between them was fantastic when it lasted, he was so innocent he trusted sangwoo so much and its sad to know that his family including his 1 yr old son will never know how and why he disappeared unless gi hun does some ting in season 2
Sad part is that Sang Woo never hated or wanted Ali to die, the thought of dying blurs every thought of your mind. The moment he was losing was when every emotion he kept to himself to spare Ali burst until all thats left was desperation. Hardest part for me growing up was not being broken by bullies but realizing that bullies were the ones who broke first. I stopped hating people when I realized everyone was just trying to get by, people who hurt me never woke up one day and did it since they were evil or sht. Its okay to be angry and frustrated since its normal but hating someone has felt like a waste of time since then. Anyway point is that Sang Woo was a friend for real, gave money to Ali when he was broke as well. Thought of Ali's family when he wanted to take care of his mother as well. But yeah I really loved how no one was some sort of movie saint in the show, everyone was human, even mc tricked the old dude when he knew he was gonna die. Everyone is a result of their experience but a reason will never be an excuse.
he did what he had to do and I would have done the same thing. Anyone would choose their own life over their friend's. in the glass game as well, he had to push that guy off the edge or they would have all died. He is ruthless but with good reason. You can't be soft in this game. Ali was never going to make it no matter what. He is too soft and naive. Sang is the only reason anyone survived, everyone would be dead in the glass game if it wasn't for Sang.
I almost wish Ali didn't know he got betrayed. The part that breaks me is the fact that the last time we see him, he isn't even really panicking about the fact he's going to die. He's just hurt that the person he trusted the most took advantage of his kindness, and is the reason he'll never get to see his family again.
Man, I love how in this scene noone is the true villain. Ali being used for his kindness and trust, and Sang woo just looking out for himself. Definitely made me tear up a bit when Ali had come to the realisation that Sang Woo betrayed him
Looking out for himself? This is a death game, it's either Sang Woo or Ali. Don't lie and say you wouldn't do the same, you would. If you lose you are going to die. So it's either you or him. The real villain is the people behind this sick game
And the fact that he even called him sir shared his corn with him just to be betrayed.... "Player 199 eliminated" The saddest line in all of squid game
He didn't die. The oldman heard his story at night while Ali talked to Sang Woo and of course the oldman did said he have a son and wife in the decoration department, but that conversation is a code to tell those guards to let Ali lives. And Ali was rescued in the fire chamber that can slide his coffin drop down to the underground. I know that Oldman only help the person who treated him as a friend and so the Oldman listen to Ali's request and hired him working contract as the guard to paid his family from the financial living. That's why I just find out there's many guards with secret identity has no background stories.
The fact that death didn't scare him.. the only thing that upset him the most was that he got betrayed by someone whom he trusted as his brother , the look on Ali's eyes will never leave my mind 💔💔.... The way Sang woo stopped in his tracks when he heard Ali call him "Hyung" , that moment the wave of guilt must have definitely struck him. At least for that one moment.
Worst thing is, if Sangwoo felt some guilt, it was indeed just for one moment. He probably never seen Ali as a friend, just used him as a useful tool when needed. Many people would probably do it in order to survive, but I would never forgive this to myself. Sangwoo on the other hand convinced himself that his methods are good, that money is the only thing that matters, and from this moment he became a real threat to the other players.
For those saying ali was outsmarted please rethink . Ali had sang woos life in his hands. He showed him mercy . He wasnt outsmarted he was betrayed when he let sang woo live.
This hits home for me because I know what its like to have someone you think your friend stab you in the back or start to shift and act funny towards you like you were never friends. Ali was the most happiest character on the show and was so positive and upbeat despite the circumstances. The fact he saved a complete stranger knowing the fact he could die as well says a lot about his character. One of the worst and lowest things you can do to someone is play with their heart or emotions and thats exactly what Sang Woo did
more like dont be nice in a game where theres one winner and he also taught how stupid it was to try to make "friends" in a life and death game. weak and dumb for even going there the second time knowing hes a good person.
Firstly, wasn’t made clear that there can only be one player who can win at the end. Second, he was doomed either way, he wouldn’t have joined if otherwise.
@@nekodwagong7248 no man with a kid and wife in a foreign country should abandon them doesn’t matter he knew the stakes and still went he’s an idiot. Glad when he was finally killed off I hate weak character
@@latinoviking YES he had a kid and wife and they needed to move so he gave his money to them so they could have a chance of escaping the country, and 199 could maybe still have a chance to come with them
I do understand that people was like '' yeaaah but Sangwoo didn't had a choice, it was his life or Ali's...'' but I just can't love Sangwoo after that... He maybe took the game at his advantages but he just betrayed a friend who loved him too. They had a game where both had the same chance to win, Ali was winning fairly... Ali didn't have less than Sangwoo outside. Btw unlike Sangwoo, his money problem wasn't even his fault, it was because of his cruel patron who didn't paid him for six month... Ali was just genuinely kind and trustworthy when Sangwoo wasn't and since the second game where he already tried to evince concurrence.... This serie is such a great metaphor of our society and it sadden me so much. Like how pure soul that don't want to betray or hurt anyone are the one that end up with nothing while the one who are ready to take advantage of other people end up with higher chances... Damn thoses tears filled eyes at the end. I CAN'T (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
Sad thing is that most people were in the games because they messed up in their lives, spent money they didn't have, took out loans they could never repay. Ali was there because he got scammed out of his money and he was trying to provide a better life for his child. He was a good soul
Definitely the saddest scene, considering Ali was my favourite character. It’s so sad to see him get betrayed like that, especially how he trusted Sang-woo so much. I literally almost cried watching this scene.
It gets to me every time I hear him sign “ shaky breathing “ there’s so much emotions into that alone . He has angry, disappointment , felt betrayed and sadness all in one !
Personally I would have offered to die for Ali. He had a lot to live for and especially if I was Sang-Woo I would know that aside from my mother's shop, I had nothing. But if it was myself I was playing as, I would still die for him because I believe in giving others a chance even at the expense of my own.
This is really sweet 🤍 There should be more people like you in this world. But Im sure you have lots to live for and people who would be heartbroken if you die. Hopefully something like this would never happen
At the beginning of this game when it said that partners needed to eliminate each other I literally froze, I was in some much denial that anything would happened to him. Rip Ali, the most innocent character in squid game.

I like how you can see a glimpse of Sang-woo's human side. He flinches when Ali get's shot. He had to do it to survive but I like how you can see that even in Sang-woo, there was a part of him that knew betraying Ali was wrong.
this show is so related to reality, in reality suppose u and I are best friends, but when our life is on the line we only think about our family and about our life. So wat we do is we betray each other, whom will u pick. Your life or mine if its a game of death
Ali was the best player. He literally picked up a metal bar. He was good at the games too, and to see Sang-Woo do that, if I was a guard, I'd kill him. It was so sad how Ali dies. I literally stopped watching because of his death.
@Sepulveda Trooper the worst part is he got cheated, but that's what makes the show good you don't know what to expect. I just wish he got killed fairly after losing the game of marbles
@@GregLemons squid game can only be played in a 1v1 but just like the marbles game multiple teams can play wich means that multiple people can win the 1v1 against there opponent I think the reason why the last 3 people were given knives is because it's an odd number and squid game can't be played with an odd number so someone had to die If for example 4 people were alive after the fifth game and no one killed each other then they could fight in seperate squid game fields then that would mean 2 people would win and share the money right?
I wouldn’t blame Ali for putting so much trust into Sang-woo. In Korea, foreigners face a lot of racism. Ali getting treated horribly by his manager is evident of that. He came to Korea thinking he could have a better life, only to be faced with discrimination. Sang-woo was like the first ever person who treated him like an ordinary person. Even if it’s the smallest thing anyone can do, it was big for a foreigner who faces racism. You can argue that he was “stupid” and “naive”. But to me, it all comes to how thankful he is to be treated like a human, and putting his trust to someone who treated him just like that.
This scene left a huge scar in my heart… I know they’re just all fictional characters but the pure sadness this scene has brought us is on a different level..
Not to mention He saved gi hun's life at the first game, even the fact that his family will never know he died. This broke me so much, He trusted Sang-Woo so much.
I almost cried after this scene especially knowing how kind Ali was to everyone it wasn't fair, at first I didn't want any of them to die but I knew they would
Even in 21st century, even after we able to predict lots of scenes, still this scene hits different. It was completely unpredictable and I cried after long time watching something, am not the emotional type but this hit harder
This had me screaming in the middle of the night,I'm sure I woke my entire neighborhood,I felt so gutted. This show depicts real life,u can't just trust anyone,no matter how we love one another,no1 would die fr the other maybe unless its family and thats a maybe. Empaths always have to be on guard
I can feel the pain Ali is feeling at this scene....he saved the main character and the people he trusted the most just betrayed him like that, he even promised his wife to meet them at their home with the prize money...and he also had a 1 year old baby....its just so sad and painful...
Sangwoo’s shudder after the killing hits as well. He knows he just did an arsehole move and feels immensely bad but if he wanted to live he had no other choice
Ali was the purest person playing the most impure game, if you really think about it, there were really only two ways he could've gone, either throw away his humanity and turn into a monster like Sang-woo and to a certain extent, Gi-hun, or have his innocence be taken advantage of and be killed, i would say that "unfortunately," he ended up as the latter, but both directions are unfortunate, that was the tragic thing about the game, there really was no "winning," either you die or you're left dead inside
Fun fact, you can hear Ali saying “Sang Woo hyung” Hyung is an endearing term that mean use for older brothers/older close friends. So Ali sees him as a brother essentially and was betrayed. Okay yall can cry now
I don't ever have feeling for characters, not even when my favorite characters on GoT died. I didn't even feel sad when Walter White died. But this...this for some reason hit different, and it hit hard.
You’re not really supposed to feel sad for Walter White in my opinion. He had become such a monster by the end of the show, a complicated one but still a monster. The scene that got me in the last episode was when he sees his daughter briefly for the last time… brutally sad
It's such a great scene because it's not as if SangWoo was evil or he wanted to do this. This was a morally grey and realistic situation. His survivor's instinct kicked in and he has no choice but to sacrifice Ali to ensure his own well being. Sometimes you have to inadvertently hurt other people to survive.
At the expense of others? No, thats putting yourself first, exploiting, using, controlling others for your own benefit which is evil because control is evil. Not letting others live because you want to is selfish. You don't need to hurt others to survive because everyone's needs are met in the modern world so if you do hurt others its greedy. Self preservation and survivor's instinct is essentially evil, immoral, selfish, and mentally ill, because people don't owe you anything. Like what if Ali did that to him. Why didn't other people in marbles do it? You don't have to hurt (exploit, use, control) anyone because anyone can walk away any time... thats why we have laws. Because every hurtful action is a mental illness because you don't need to do it to others to survive so its some form of not sane action as no one owes you anything.

I felt bad for Ali’s betrayal. But the guy was far too naive. At least check the bag. Whilst watching Sang-Woo he wasn’t at least somewhat suspicious. Especially after Sang-Woo freaked out on him. I was more frustrated at how stupid he was being.
Actually no one really expected sang woo to betray him like that eventhough he freaked out accusing Ali of foul play, even the viewers were shocked and it was a major twist in the character development of sang woo too, from there own he became a more ruthless character, before that he was just like any other normal human in that game. You are pointing this out after knowing the outcome , but the betrayal was very much unexpected for both Ali and the viewers in general
@@sree3650 I don’t think it was a major twist. Everyone saw Sang Woo not tell gi-Han about the shape for the cutting game. His desperation was established. Even outside the games. They allude to the betrayal a lot, this isn’t even hindsight. I didn’t trust Sang-Woo at all. And thought it was obvious that he was capable of tricking someone as naive as Ali, it’s still sad and a dramatic moment.
@@IamFirtyDucker yes from viewers perspective it was kinda predictable, but from Ali's perspective he never would have expected that betrayal from sang woo, they both were very close before that, and sang woo teamed up with Ali not just for his strength but he didn't wanted to face him(maybe the only person he somewhat cared about after knowing his story). Also I don't expect a kind hearted soul like Ali to foresee what sang woo would have done to him, the last scene of him was just that, the eyes filled with betrayal and sadness.
I felt so bad for this scene. Imagine thinking in those last 10 seconds everything you’re leaving behind. Ali had a son, maybe a wife? And the fact that his family probably never knew what happened to him. And the feeling of being betrayed so badly by someone you trusted so much.

Betrayer guy would've died if he had not betrayed Ali,,,,, So he cheated, lied, killed someone else to save himself.. and that's because he was a spineless coward, a looser, parallel to a girl who sacrificed her life for sae-byouk, she didn't even play the game, while the betrayer guy lost, fair and square and then cheated, he was simply a spine less coward for whom I have no respect in my heart.. problem 1 solved ; you can't justify his act
2nd problem ; people are saying Ali was stupid to believe him...
First ALI trusted him soo much and he didn't want to have any feelings of suspicion towards his friend, then he Just wanted there to be a way where both of them would be able to survive, he wanted it to soo bad that he agreed to risk his life for it and then.. aaah :
I bet somewhere in his heart Ali knew he'd get betrayed.. of course he knew the (betrayer) *could* cheat, but ; Ali was just soo nice and couldn't bring himself to say 'no' to the betrayers plan and put his life on the line for that ; that's brave, not a cowardly act,, You see now.. he probably didn't regret his decision before death..
I hope you are satisfied with the answer and..plz reply yes or no, I would love to debate on this topic
@@may2233 i appreciate your answer and i dont mind at all, well lets get the easy problem the second one out first. I dont think Ali was stupid at all, at worst you could say he was naive, but that comes hand in hand with his kind heart because he sees the best in people, which makes it easy to take advantage of.
for the first problem: "it may be for YOU not justifable(which is totaly ok, difference in opinion) how sang woo acts, but for ME a person wanting to survive a deathgame at all costs is natural, that is not to say how the others choose their fate is wrong, ji yeong sacriface was very touching, but like I said not wanting to die in a deathgame justifys cheating,betraying for me personaly.
what i would like to know is the fact that he cheats/betraying what annoys you the most or that he did for himself. For example if sang woo had an sister who is sick and an operation to surive is necessary and he needs the money to make it happen, would then cheating, betrayal be acceptable for you?
regardless, i think your fury is more suited for the sick people who set this game up in the first place, they are the truly evil people here.
You can see all the pain in his eyes... He was so innocent. And the fact that he had a 1year old son makes it even worse
The worst fact is that his family will never know that he died. That means when his 1yo grows up, he's gonna believe his daddy left him...
@@Kartlos1 oh shit..
@@Kartlos1 his family has Netflix account they will know
Relax dude.. Is just movie not real 😂
The fact that the movie would just be like 18 mins long
What is more sad, is that his family will never learn if he died and how. For them he just disappeared.
I've been thinking the exact same thing

@Cash moneyy I disagree. The old man knew he had very little time left and he knew the guards wouldn't kill him anyways. It was totally messed up for him to even try to win vs 456. He should've just given him the Marbles after everything he did for him.
Ali was so innocent to sang woo they promised that they would get out alive. If he looked in his well sang woo’s pouch earlier then he would of saw the stones
Sang woo: "I used the stones to destroy the marbles"
@@twosinister Sang-woo: I am inevitable.
By then sang woo already had the marbles and wouldn’t have given them back so ali lost the second he gave his pouch … the only difference would be that sang woo had to look at him while giving the marbles to the soldier
@@therealwelfin Yeah but Ali is pretty stronk cuz he held Gi-hun with only one hand, he could easily take the marbles by force
@@morganistrue you can’t resort to violence though so he lost because sang woo won’t play a game with someone who has zero marbles
Every major characters death was foreshadowed in previous scenes… Ali’s was with his previous employer who also manipulated him. This death hurt the most for me because he’s a genuinely good man. He’s just gullible and easily taken advantage of.
Yeah like sang woo'd attempted suicide, 101 jumping off a bridge to escape gangsters and some other shit

@@jackriver1999 oh and gi hun swears on his mother
I don’t really think that’s foreshadowing though. I think that’s just establishing that Ali trusts people easily.
This episode broke me. I loved Ali, I knew his kind heart would end up killing him. Beasts like sang woo prey on kind people like Ali. It’s not fair.
It's not sang woo's fault either obviously ali deserved to win but his survival instincts kicked in to survive, he cared about ali but wouldn't sacrifice himself for ali, you could tell he felt uncomfortable by the flinch
@@waltuh2.3bviews3secondsago3 nah - sang wu is a POS - that’s how he ended up there. He got an education, and could have made money through work - but he decided to cheat in his job and in his game. He lacks integrity period - no matter the context.
@@__rm307 It’s life or death, either he dies or you die.
And we know what anyone would choose.
San Woo isn't a villain as such. He's trying to survive, as is everyone in the game. It's easy to judge what he did, but he was fscing death if he didn't. Honestly, most people would do the same. Survivalism is a powerful thing.
@@sensitiivv_ yes unless you want to make all those lives meaningless. In the end one person will win.

Omg i got so mad at the "final boss" when the main character was just ready to give up for this?!
Same, and that's how I felt when I saw death note
I feel like Ali is the most important character we should learn from. Apart from the fact that he can be our role model, such as being kind, helping others, being strong and making some people memorize us and learn to make others have a best time, we should also partly avoid being like him, because he was naive and trusted people way too much, and made it so easy for others to set you up. As much as I would love to be a kind person like Ali, he shows us that sometimes kindness brings us bad.
So I think we can all agree that Ali is both a role model and a presentation of what we should not be
The world would sure be a better place if we all were like Ali, but we can't trust that everyone would be like that so we sometimes have to be mean
I agree. We cannot be too kind and Naive. we also have to consider the fact when to trust someone and not to.
Ali is the perfect example of who we should all be, but we should never be on our own. The world is a cruel place, and we need to learn that as early as possible, or the Sang-Woos will throw us under the bus
You have to be good... but cruel at the same time. The world is not for the naïve.
You can be kind but still be smart and not naive. He should not have been in that game in the first place talk less of trusting him. Only one person can win & will come out of this alive. Why did he believe him?
After seeing another comment that says the word Ali shouts out to Sang Woo, "Hyung", means brother (At least I think it does) in Korean, it makes this scene even more difficult to watch.
This!! I’ve been telling everyone this!! Its sad the subtitles don’t say that because I think it makes it even more emotional
Wow! If this is true then that's such an important detail lost in translation that would really give an extra punch to an already devastating scene.
@@DarkArkham2 It's true.. Hyung is used amongst guys in Korea that have formed a very close, trusting bond and is only used between siblings or people that are as close as siblings. In this scene, Ali literally died calling out "older brother".
Hyung is a term men use to refer to other men that they're close to. "Hyung" does literally mean "older brother", but Ali uses it to refer to Sang Woo because he trusted him so much (he also drops calling him "sir" in exchange for Hyung".
Translating it as "brother" for people not into K-media would have been confusing since he's not calling him his actual brother. Putting his name there works perfectly because Hyung substitutes his name.
@@Watamote_ id have to disagree. “Bro” or “brother” is a very common English phrase men use to talk to other men they are close to. I don’t think it would of been totally lost on a person not into Korean media. And I think by not adding it in it takes away the significance of Ali’s death and the actual emotions in it. It shows how closely he viewed their relationship.
0:49 Can physically tell Ali's death flipped a switch in Sang Woo, because from here on out he becomes more ruthless. He may be trying to help his mom, but in the process I think this is the point where Sang Woo lost whatever humanity he had left.
Whats crazy is that if we was in Sang woo's position, would we have done the same if it meant life or death
I love how you can tell he feels like absolute shit by betraying Ali, yet he felt it was completely necessary.
@@hidan407 nahhh I’m not that smart
Exactly, I think that even Sang-woo knew that this was wrong
He isnt really trying to help his mom, he was the one who spent his company's money himself and is under debt now. The only one he is trying to help is himself. Ali had a family, sae byeok had her brother to return to. He betrayed both.
Tbvh I don't think he deserved to die this way but I don't think that he would survive the other rounds tho.... he's too kind to kill😭
Yes
Man Ali what an amazing human you are
I liked your comment and now it's at 199 😖😭
Yea I don’t think he would have survived the glass round. I could just see someone pushing him and I know he wouldn’t do that to anyone else. Also he prob wouldn’t have survived squid game cuz he didn’t play that in his childhood
I don’t think he would’ve been able to push the glass maker as easily as Sang Woo did and the rest of them barely made it in time so yeah I don’t think he would have survived that anyway ;-;

i always knew that sang-woo was less merciful than everyone else but when he betrayed ali and finished off sae-byeok, i really hated him because they were my favorite characters.
but he was also always more logical, and despite how wrong it seems from the outside, everything he said to defend himself made sense.
ok that (spoiler) was pretty hard to unread
yeah, i was mad at sang woo when he did all that heartless crap.

yeah, tbh he really had no choice. it's either live or die, and betraying him was the only option to move on to the other rounds and save his mom.
Bro sangwoo's mom got a whole shop she could live off + he doesn't have a family like Ali who can't afford basic life needs, I don't care that sang woo did what he did to survive he still is a bitch and it shows from the candy game where he didn't help Gi hun in choosing a circle instead of the umbrella and that was the first warning sign that sang woo is a little bitch who not only lied and stole money from his mom but also is selfish to the point that he's willing to step on other people just to save his ass.. thanks for reading my ted talk.
Ali was one of my favorite character I cried when he got betrayed and died
This character almost made me cry after he was betrayed his character is and the way his life end almost felt like it actaully happend hes my fav character
His “hyung” made my heart break😭
Now I knew he was gonna die but I never thought it was this heartbreaking
In a broader sense, this scene represents how the people of regions near south Asia are repeatedly exploited by wealthier nations due to educational and wealth disparity. The story's incorporation of Ali humanized people that are rarely ever represented.
Maybe, but south asians are more intelligent than most.
Fucking hell
This episode hit me like a truck. Ali was the most difficult character to hate, he had a wife and kids, and the most kind hearted character ive ever seen and seeing how easily he can be manipulated by his peers scares me because in the real world people who are kind hearted and mercuful can be manipulated and taken advantage of just for their own gain, sometimes leading to death. I understand why sangwoo had to do it but seriously man?
This episode was an emotional rollercoaster, especially with Ali being betrayed and Jiyeong letting herself die with the "Thank you for playing with me"
Perfect scene. The piano, ali's realization that he was betrayed, and sangwoo's reaction to the shot. Amazing acting and directing.
ali has a wife and kids and he wasn’t a gambler or a dead beat dad, he was intelligent and brave, moved to a new country and learned a new language, he just got mostly unlucky and had an awful scammer for a boss. 218 is a highly educated scammer and embezzler who got caught. ice cold and threw everyone (remember letting 456 choose umbrella even tho he knew?) under the bus at every opportunity. He should have sacrificed himself, which SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER he ultimately did when he killer himself, knowing 456 would take care of his mother, which is all he wanted. 218 was dead before it all began, when he was in the bathtub. rip ali ❤️
Yes, exactly!
I wouldn’t go so far saying intelligent.
Everything else is true
@@tdevil101 Just because the dude got confused with marbles and rocks (Same sound, same texture) doesn't mean he's not intelligent. Really it takes a smart mind to get through even one game, it's strategic.
@@yourlonglostsecondhandcous4107 I’m speaking in a general sense. For example, he didn’t know what odd and even numbers are. I’m not saying he was dumb, I’m just saying he’s not well educated.
@@tdevil101 There is a difference between not being a native speaker of a specific language and being uneducated. Don't get mixed up.
Can we talk about how good of actors all of these guys were? Every single one was great
The way they acted this scene out was so good. Ali being unaware at first of the betrayal as the camera shows Sang Woo exiting, after hearing no response from Sang Woo he becomes suspicious and checks his bag, only to see rocks inside it. Ali looked so heartbroken, he was speechless; it was such a depressing scene.
The moment Sang Woo heard the gunshot, he shook. Sang Woo really liked him, he saw him as a brother, but he had no choice, he needed to live. It was cold and he knew it.
He did? I thought that Ali saw Sang Woo leaving and then Ali check his bag. But I'm guessing Sang Woo was from our perspective, not Ali's.
Ali was a polite, kind, heroic, mature, sensible, smart, obedient guy and it was so refreshing to see someone that didn't go insane from all the killing. He was the true hero he was a top G and he did not deserve to die this way but thats why this scene is so compelling. You could see the tears from his eyes as he knew he was betrayed by his closest buddy from the game and when he gets shot u see sang-woo flinch. the friendship between them was fantastic when it lasted, he was so innocent he trusted sangwoo so much and its sad to know that his family including his 1 yr old son will never know how and why he disappeared unless gi hun does some ting in season 2
The moral of this episode is: be super careful who you confine your trust in or who you call a “friend” because friends don’t plot on their friends.
Sad part is that Sang Woo never hated or wanted Ali to die, the thought of dying blurs every thought of your mind. The moment he was losing was when every emotion he kept to himself to spare Ali burst until all thats left was desperation.
Hardest part for me growing up was not being broken by bullies but realizing that bullies were the ones who broke first. I stopped hating people when I realized everyone was just trying to get by, people who hurt me never woke up one day and did it since they were evil or sht.
Its okay to be angry and frustrated since its normal but hating someone has felt like a waste of time since then. Anyway point is that Sang Woo was a friend for real, gave money to Ali when he was broke as well. Thought of Ali's family when he wanted to take care of his mother as
well.
But yeah I really loved how no one was some sort of movie saint in the show, everyone was human, even mc tricked the old dude when he knew he was gonna die. Everyone is a result of their experience but a reason will never be an excuse.
@@stagnation4626 Nice explaining! Please reply to me!
he did what he had to do and I would have done the same thing. Anyone would choose their own life over their friend's. in the glass game as well, he had to push that guy off the edge or they would have all died. He is ruthless but with good reason. You can't be soft in this game. Ali was never going to make it no matter what. He is too soft and naive. Sang is the only reason anyone survived, everyone would be dead in the glass game if it wasn't for Sang.
@@lonelylama5222 I wouldnt sacrifice my friends but you do you
@@Sirbigaballs And that’s why you would never win this game, you have to be cold.
I almost wish Ali didn't know he got betrayed. The part that breaks me is the fact that the last time we see him, he isn't even really panicking about the fact he's going to die. He's just hurt that the person he trusted the most took advantage of his kindness, and is the reason he'll never get to see his family again.
If “Don’t trust anybody” was made into a scene. I felt like I had my heart punched out of my chest
ali wandering around aimlessly calling out for sangwoo literally broke me
Man, I love how in this scene noone is the true villain. Ali being used for his kindness and trust, and Sang woo just looking out for himself. Definitely made me tear up a bit when Ali had come to the realisation that Sang Woo betrayed him
That is reality.,
Everyone can do anything for the money
And those people who has money toys everyone who needs it..
For entertainment.
The true villains are the psychos behind the whole thing
Looking out for himself? This is a death game, it's either Sang Woo or Ali. Don't lie and say you wouldn't do the same, you would. If you lose you are going to die. So it's either you or him. The real villain is the people behind this sick game
And the fact that he even called him sir shared his corn with him just to be betrayed....

He didn't die. The oldman heard his story at night while Ali talked to Sang Woo and of course the oldman did said he have a son and wife in the decoration department, but that conversation is a code to tell those guards to let Ali lives. And Ali was rescued in the fire chamber that can slide his coffin drop down to the underground. I know that Oldman only help the person who treated him as a friend and so the Oldman listen to Ali's request and hired him working contract as the guard to paid his family from the financial living. That's why I just find out there's many guards with secret identity has no background stories.
@@monk9803 my man, he got shot in the head and they showed his corpse in the next episode. stop reaching
The fact that death didn't scare him.. the only thing that upset him the most was that he got betrayed by someone whom he trusted as his brother , the look on Ali's eyes will never leave my mind 💔💔.... The way Sang woo stopped in his tracks when he heard Ali call him "Hyung" , that moment the wave of guilt must have definitely struck him. At least for that one moment.
Worst thing is, if Sangwoo felt some guilt, it was indeed just for one moment. He probably never seen Ali as a friend, just used him as a useful tool when needed. Many people would probably do it in order to survive, but I would never forgive this to myself. Sangwoo on the other hand convinced himself that his methods are good, that money is the only thing that matters, and from this moment he became a real threat to the other players.
For those saying ali was outsmarted please rethink . Ali had sang woos life in his hands. He showed him mercy . He wasnt outsmarted he was betrayed when he let sang woo live.
I agree. He wasn’t a complete fool, he was just overly kind and trusting.
That’s what I’m saying about society bro, like you could be the chillest person on earth and yet someone could still screw you over.
I love u Ali ❤️❤️
This hits home for me because I know what its like to have someone you think your friend stab you in the back or start to shift and act funny towards you like you were never friends. Ali was the most happiest character on the show and was so positive and upbeat despite the circumstances. The fact he saved a complete stranger knowing the fact he could die as well says a lot about his character. One of the worst and lowest things you can do to someone is play with their heart or emotions and thats exactly what Sang Woo did
Ali’s role thaught us all that no matter how kind or innocent you are, some people will always abuse and use you🥺
more like dont be nice in a game where theres one winner and he also taught how stupid it was to try to make "friends" in a life and death game. weak and dumb for even going there the second time knowing hes a good person.

I do understand that people was like '' yeaaah but Sangwoo didn't had a choice, it was his life or Ali's...'' but I just can't love Sangwoo after that... He maybe took the game at his advantages but he just betrayed a friend who loved him too. They had a game where both had the same chance to win, Ali was winning fairly... Ali didn't have less than Sangwoo outside. Btw unlike Sangwoo, his money problem wasn't even his fault, it was because of his cruel patron who didn't paid him for six month... Ali was just genuinely kind and trustworthy when Sangwoo wasn't and since the second game where he already tried to evince concurrence.... This serie is such a great metaphor of our society and it sadden me so much. Like how pure soul that don't want to betray or hurt anyone are the one that end up with nothing while the one who are ready to take advantage of other people end up with higher chances...
Damn thoses tears filled eyes at the end. I CAN'T (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
I was tearing up when watching this. This is so sad.
Sad thing is that most people were in the games because they messed up in their lives, spent money they didn't have, took out loans they could never repay.
Ali was there because he got scammed out of his money and he was trying to provide a better life for his child. He was a good soul
Definitely the saddest scene, considering Ali was my favourite character. It’s so sad to see him get betrayed like that, especially how he trusted Sang-woo so much. I literally almost cried watching this scene.

I think the reason why the last 3 people were given knives is because it's an odd number and squid game can't be played with an odd number so someone had to die
If for example 4 people were alive after the fifth game and no one killed each other then they could fight in seperate squid game fields then that would mean 2 people would win and share the money right?
I wouldn’t blame Ali for putting so much trust into Sang-woo. In Korea, foreigners face a lot of racism. Ali getting treated horribly by his manager is evident of that. He came to Korea thinking he could have a better life, only to be faced with discrimination.
Sang-woo was like the first ever person who treated him like an ordinary person. Even if it’s the smallest thing anyone can do, it was big for a foreigner who faces racism.
You can argue that he was “stupid” and “naive”. But to me, it all comes to how thankful he is to be treated like a human, and putting his trust to someone who treated him just like that.
the soundtrack really makes this episode work.
This scene left a huge scar in my heart… I know they’re just all fictional characters but the pure sadness this scene has brought us is on a different level..
Not to mention He saved gi hun's life at the first game, even the fact that his family will never know he died. This broke me so much, He trusted Sang-Woo so much.
I almost cried after this scene especially knowing how kind Ali was to everyone it wasn't fair, at first I didn't want any of them to die but I knew they would
Even in 21st century, even after we able to predict lots of scenes, still this scene hits different. It was completely unpredictable and I cried after long time watching something, am not the emotional type but this hit harder
This had me screaming in the middle of the night,I'm sure I woke my entire neighborhood,I felt so gutted.
This show depicts real life,u can't just trust anyone,no matter how we love one another,no1 would die fr the other maybe unless its family and thats a maybe.
Empaths always have to be on guard
As much as I believe this, I don't think that jump was him shaking, I honestly think he just flinched at the sound of the gunshot
@@spiffymiddleschooler36 huh?
@@dcc-randomstorieswithmel7424 The loud sound made him jump?
Imagine if in his mind he said “no, I won’t look inside just so sang woo can see I trust him”
It would be the saddest scene ever
I can feel the pain Ali is feeling at this scene....he saved the main character and the people he trusted the most just betrayed him like that, he even promised his wife to meet them at their home with the prize money...and he also had a 1 year old baby....its just so sad and painful...
RIP Ali, he will be remembered forever. 🙏🏿🥺💔
Sangwoo’s shudder after the killing hits as well. He knows he just did an arsehole move and feels immensely bad but if he wanted to live he had no other choice
Ali was the purest person playing the most impure game, if you really think about it, there were really only two ways he could've gone, either throw away his humanity and turn into a monster like Sang-woo and to a certain extent, Gi-hun, or have his innocence be taken advantage of and be killed, i would say that "unfortunately," he ended up as the latter, but both directions are unfortunate, that was the tragic thing about the game, there really was no "winning," either you die or you're left dead inside
This episode was the best among all of them, and afterwards when I checked IMDB it was rated as the highest!
The saddest part when Ali cries, knowing his life is over 😢
The saddest scene in Squid Game.
top 10 anime betrayals
This scene brought me to tears 😭 I’m can’t hold my tears in I can’t stop crying 😢 I’m still crying 😭 everyone for Ali😢😭😔
Fun fact, you can hear Ali saying “Sang Woo hyung” Hyung is an endearing term that mean use for older brothers/older close friends. So Ali sees him as a brother essentially and was betrayed. Okay yall can cry now
I think this is a memorable moment we won’t forget 😭😭😭😭😭
He was my favorite character and I just watched ep6 and now I’m crying
I literally cried soo much in this scene because I am also from Pakistan and the pain of getting betrayed was visible in his eyes....
Innit?
I don't ever have feeling for characters, not even when my favorite characters on GoT died. I didn't even feel sad when Walter White died. But this...this for some reason hit different, and it hit hard.
You’re not really supposed to feel sad for Walter White in my opinion. He had become such a monster by the end of the show, a complicated one but still a monster. The scene that got me in the last episode was when he sees his daughter briefly for the last time… brutally sad
Not ashamed to say I cried at this whole sequence.
It's such a great scene because it's not as if SangWoo was evil or he wanted to do this. This was a morally grey and realistic situation. His survivor's instinct kicked in and he has no choice but to sacrifice Ali to ensure his own well being.
Sometimes you have to inadvertently hurt other people to survive.
At the expense of others? No, thats putting yourself first, exploiting, using, controlling others for your own benefit which is evil because control is evil. Not letting others live because you want to is selfish. You don't need to hurt others to survive because everyone's needs are met in the modern world so if you do hurt others its greedy. Self preservation and survivor's instinct is essentially evil, immoral, selfish, and mentally ill, because people don't owe you anything. Like what if Ali did that to him. Why didn't other people in marbles do it? You don't have to hurt (exploit, use, control) anyone because anyone can walk away any time... thats why we have laws. Because every hurtful action is a mental illness because you don't need to do it to others to survive so its some form of not sane action as no one owes you anything.
I was crying while watching this scene.
Ali is the best character, he deserves better.
Ali is my favorite character and always will be
He didn't die. The oldman heard his story at night while Ali talked to Sang Woo and of course the oldman did said he have a son and wife in the decoration department, but that conversation is a code to tell those guards to let Ali lives. And Ali was rescued in the fire chamber that can slide his coffin drop down to the underground. I know that Oldman only help the person who treated him as a friend and so the Oldman listen to Ali's request and hired him working contract as the guard to paid his family from the financial living. That's why I just find out there's many guards with secret identity has no background stories.
He was in tears because he was gonna die but more because he trusted his friend….
OMG noooo the fact that he was more sad abou the betrayal than the fact that he was about to die 😭😭😭😭
Think it was both
Ali was so kind hearted. If it wasn’t for him the main character would have died in the first episode

Lusilang We Saw him dead in the beginning of the next episode tho-
@@ilovemagic4291 he's unconscious
Lusilang he had a hole in his cheek- How is he gonna survive that
@@ilovemagic4291 no idea, it must be a minor injury
Getting stabbed in the back by someone you trusted always hurts like hell
More like shot in the back but yeah
This scene was a social commentary on how being nice and kind in a brutal world can only lead to demise. Extremely sad scwne
I felt bad for Ali’s betrayal. But the guy was far too naive. At least check the bag. Whilst watching Sang-Woo he wasn’t at least somewhat suspicious. Especially after Sang-Woo freaked out on him. I was more frustrated at how stupid he was being.
Ali was trusting of him, and didn’t expect him to betray him, especially after all they did together
Actually no one really expected sang woo to betray him like that eventhough he freaked out accusing Ali of foul play, even the viewers were shocked and it was a major twist in the character development of sang woo too, from there own he became a more ruthless character, before that he was just like any other normal human in that game. You are pointing this out after knowing the outcome , but the betrayal was very much unexpected for both Ali and the viewers in general
@@sree3650 I don’t think it was a major twist. Everyone saw Sang Woo not tell gi-Han about the shape for the cutting game. His desperation was established. Even outside the games. They allude to the betrayal a lot, this isn’t even hindsight. I didn’t trust Sang-Woo at all. And thought it was obvious that he was capable of tricking someone as naive as Ali, it’s still sad and a dramatic moment.
@@IamFirtyDucker yes from viewers perspective it was kinda predictable, but from Ali's perspective he never would have expected that betrayal from sang woo, they both were very close before that, and sang woo teamed up with Ali not just for his strength but he didn't wanted to face him(maybe the only person he somewhat cared about after knowing his story).
Also I don't expect a kind hearted soul like Ali to foresee what sang woo would have done to him, the last scene of him was just that, the eyes filled with betrayal and sadness.
The dude that was so nice, had such a nice voice and genuinely when he said thank you in Korean, I thought he was saying it to me!
the way he is calling him hyung till the end is so heartbreaking! 🥺😭
Sadly he had big heart for a game that everyone acting like a fox . You need to be strong and trust no one around
This may be one of the meanest betrayals in TV history. I lost my hope in humanity when he did this to Ali... 😢
I felt so bad for this scene. Imagine thinking in those last 10 seconds everything you’re leaving behind. Ali had a son, maybe a wife? And the fact that his family probably never knew what happened to him. And the feeling of being betrayed so badly by someone you trusted so much.
Ali was was my favorite character
