Nate realizes they already have Vector’s codes and goes to see the Italian as the other clean up. At the courthouse, Vector is surprised to see his lawyer there, but it’s time for him to testify. When he sees his client and Parker there, he gets very nervous and starts have a breakdown until Parker hits him with a Taser. She also dropped the prisoner in [=McSweeten’s=] trunk.

In the pub, Nate and Sophie talk about their choice. They didn’t ask for this fight, but They’re in it, and Nate wants to see it through.

Later, he tells Nate what Vector did, and how [[PoliceAreUseless the police and S.E.C. were no help]], since Vector is agreeing to testify in exchange for immunity from his crimes, basically a free pass to do whatever he wants. Nate agrees to help, and after the client leave, the Italian comes up. She warns him that He’s running out of time to catch Moreau, but Nate needs Vector to get him.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: The team spikes Vector's drink to put him under while they set the scene of the crime up.

* ShoutOut: When looking for information about lawyers, Nate asks who Vector calls and Parker says, “Film/{{Ghostbusters}}!”

In the apartment, Nate arrives and asks to see the body. Looking over the scene he declares there’s enough evidence for a conviction of first-degree manslaughter. Looking over the scene he declares there’s enough evidence for a conviction of first-degree manslaughter. Meanwhile, Eliot is berating Hardison for taking the cover too far, again, as [=McSweeten=] suddenly shows up in front of their headquarters. Nate thinks he could be useful, and sends Parker to watch him, since he trusts her and her part in the con is done.

In the apartment, the team are curious about her, but Nate doesn’t like being under her thumb and wants to get Moreau as fast as possible so he doesn’t have to deal with her anymore. As they run the brifing on Vector, it turns out that he built his fortune on dirty money, and one of his clients is Moreau. They need to find out what he has on Moreau before he testifies and gets immunity, which means they have to intercept him before he meets his FBI handler.

Their plan is to make Vector think he’s in water so hot that he’ll need a new deal from the feds, which they’ll use to force him to give up Moreau. They clear off the FBI agent, who turns out to be [=McSweeten=], and Parker runs into Vector, posing as a fan, Alice, and drawing him to the pub. They flirt for a while, before she invites him up to the apartment, and Vector readily follows her. In the morning he wakes up, and rolls over to look at Alice, only to see her pale corpse lying next to him. [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink They’d spiked his drink last night so he passed out]], then made Parker up to look like she’s dead. Panicked, Vector calls his lawyer, which is intercepted by the team and a recording that Sophie got earlier tells him to call one of his colleagues.

Nate gets ready to go in, and sends Eliot and Hardison to get the original immunity deal. They get the files, but the cop identities Hardison made for them are so good, they’re drafted to take a witness back to county lockup. Eliot is not happy.

Later, he tells Nate what Vector did, and how the police and S.E.C. were no help, since Vector is agreeing to testify in exchange for immunity for from his crimes, basically a free pass to do whatever he wants. Nate agrees to help, and after the client leave, the Italian comes up. She warns him that He’s running out of time to catch Moreau, but Nate needs Vector to get him.

Eliot and Hardison finally show up with the agreement, but theitn prisoner said something interesting about money laundering by dirty cops. Eliot thinks there’s something strange going on. Spophie goes over the agreement and demands Damien Moreau to get him out of this one. Vector agrees to help, trouble is brewing downstairs. Cops are starting to show up, and Eliot thinks they’re the ones the prisoner was talking about, and they’re here to kill Vector, but they’re not the only ones; Moreau’s sent someone as well who opens fire from the building across the street. Eliot and Hardison take care of the dirty cops, then take care of the sniper. Everyone’s still alive, but Vector’s changed his mind, and decides he’ll be safer in jail.
