The Sting ending explained (spoilers)

[marc]

Lonnegan bets 500,000 dollars on a horse and looses. The Feds come in and arrest Gondorf. Gondorf shoots Hooker. Agent Polk shoots Gondorf. Lutenint Snyder takes Lonnegan away. The Feds tell Hooker and Gondorf the coast is clear and they get up. They were just acting. The Feds weren't really the Feds. They were Gondorf's buddies. Hooker and Gondorf walk away.
