Roland arrives in New York, seeing the Tet Corporation's office at 2 Hammarskjöld Plaza, and speaks to many of the employees.
They continue onto the tower when they meet Patrick. He later drew an Unfound Door through which Susannah travelled to an alternate reality New York, where she meets Eddie Toren and his brother Jake, who had also been dreaming of her and, as her memories rapidly faded, they headed home together.

Roland defeats the Crimson king, then enters the tower, climbing through rooms depicting his life. When he exits into the top room, only to find himself back in the Mohaine Desert, ready to to resume his quest to the dark tower, but this time he has Arthur Eld's ancient brass horn on his belt.
