Both Pegorino and Niko crash on Happiness Island, where Niko kills Pegorino. Credits roll. After the credits, many phone calls take place. In one, Roman reveals that Mallorie is pregnant, and if it's a girl, they will name her Kate, in honor of Kate McReary.

==Which ending is canonical?==
At this time, [[Rockstar Games]] have not announced the canon ending, and until they do, or until the next full installment in the series is released, there is no concrete evidence to prove that either ending is canon. This section merely takes a look at the clues and hints given in the game that suggest canonicity for either ending.


Reasons supporting "Revenge", aside from the fact that it coincides with Niko's personal moral code, include the phone calls Niko makes to Kate and Roman following his choice. If he chose the deal, Niko is berated by Kate for going back on his own principles, and he admits to Roman that he is unsure whether or not he made the right decision. If he chose "Revenge" however, Niko is congratulated by Kate for understanding himself that he doesn't need money to be happy, and even Phil Bell, who was intended to do the deal with Niko, believes he made the right choice in taking revenge.
The credits in [[The Ballad Of Gay Tony]] also show [[Patrick McReary]]; Niko's friend and ally, leaving the city. Some fans take this to mean that perhaps the "Deal" ending is canon, believing Packie would not leave his mother after Kate's death, but this could also be connected to the "Revenge" ending, as it would almost certainly drive Packie away from Liberty City, leaving his mother in the care of either Derrick or Francis. Ultimately, the canon ending is determined by the players choice, as are all the other choices Niko must make throughout the game.
