In Vietnam, Sator delights in hearing his enemies blocked and enjoys his last moments which are also, he thinks, those of humanity. Katherine makes him close his phone by showing herself cuddly while hoping to receive the green light from Mahir. For his part, Volker who was ordered to kill The Protagonist, rushes towards him. He is then surprised to see that what he thought was the corpse at his feet, comes back to life, wounds him and opens the gate then flees. Ives and The Protagonist fight with him before throwing him into the hole. Ives and The Protagonist recover the algorithm but are informed that Katherine shot Sator. Katherine, unable to hold it in any longer, shot Sator after showing him his abdominal wound, proof that he was fooled because it comes from a future. As Sator's body falls off the boat, Neil, who has regained his normal sense of time, pulls on the rope he attached to the algorithm and brings back Ives and The Protagonist attached to him. Katherine, in Vietnam, jumps off the bridge, which is seen by the Katherine of the first universe, and pulls Sator's body away, pulled to his boat by a rope.
