What happens to Don John at the end of Much Ado About Nothing?

The answer is that we do not really know what is going to
happen to Don John after the play ends.  All we really know is that he is in
trouble.


At the end of Act V, Scene 4, we know that John
has run away from Messina but has been caught.  A messenger tells that to Don Pedro in
one of the last lines of the play.  We do not know for sure what is going to happen to
him next, but we do know that he is likely to be punished for his crimes against Hero. 
Benedick is going to think up some "brave punishments" for Don Pedro to inflict on Don
John.
