But drama clearly ends when they show the main antagonist ending . Although ending perfect as open ending, but still the main point is Bale ending. I hope they will bring season 2..

a special episode will suffice!!!!

 sekc:

No i doubt it. I personally think he is waiting for Bale to show up as well as his other minions so that he can get rid of them once and for all 

I guessed right ... kinda.  I want to see what happened to him after his death had been faked. 

Well watch the final episode

I think he faked his death but this whole time he was busy fighting the one eyed man so he could kill him, for real!

I’m only on episode four, but I’m pretty sure he didn’t die. Maybe I’ve watched too many shows, but he had a weird crease just beneath his jawbone that made me think that it was like he was wearing a mask or there was somebody wearing a mask, but then the mask hadn’t been blended in seamlessly.  

 ScorchQueen:

If this is all a test, it's one hell of an expensive one. I don't want him to be dead and I don't want him done in by the hacker wannabe. But he's probably dead. A season 2 could change things...

Don’t worry, everything will be revealed at the end lol

 Trouble-chan:

I think he's only 'dead'.  I believe he was done with constantly looking over his shoulder,  and he worried for his niece.  He finally decided he wanted to eradicate the threats AND train her to survive. Best way to stone those two birds was to pretend to be 'killed'. Lure out the threats, train the niece at the same time - also find out if there was anyone else he could trust going forward (should they survive). I think he also suspected the 'kid' and wanted to try and lure him out too. I doubt he would let his niece die, so he'll either come back if she's seriously, life threateningly, hurt or when she wins. For now he feels he's better off waiting and therefore staying 'dead'. Only a season 2 will tell us if any of us are right.

At the end of the last episode we see that he’s alive so that answers that question.
