Meanwhile, as the meth dealers arrive at the meeting spot, they are surprised to find Roy's bag contains more money than they asked for. Michael's mom tries to escape, but is stopped by the meth dealers. Eliot appears and [[CurbStompBattle beats up all of the dealers]]. Soon, Hardison knocks on the door to deliver some 'pizzas'. Judge Roy assumes it's from Nate's crew and allows them in. Sure enough, inside the pizza box is a pile of money. However, Hardison accuses him of being the robber. Roy realizes that Hardison is one of Nate's crew, but it's too late. Hardison signals Bill and his men, who enters the bank to arrest Judge Roy.

Judge Roy tries to explain the truth to Bill but finds the pizza box is missing while Hardison plays dumb about it (although [[TheUnreveal no one knows how the pizza boxes disappeared]]). Roy tells them that stole his bag of money but Bill finds his bag under the desk and opens it to find bags of meth inside instead. Roy denies that the meth is his, but Hardison accuses Roy's 'out-of-control' behavior on the drugs he's been taking. Roy decides to show Bill the Clarks but was surprise to discover Eliot and Parker instead. Turns out that they switched outfits with the Clarks when they entered the building with Hardison. The two would-be bank robbers, disguised as the paramedics team, waltz out of the bank while taking Nate to the ambulance truck, where Mrs Clark is posing as the driver. Nate weakly requests that they save the heartwarming reunion until ''after'' Nate has been hooked up to a morphine drop.

Back at the bank, Eliot and Sophie fabricate a story about Roy trying to rob the bank, backed up by the [[TheDogBitesBack bank employees]]. Judge Roy tells them to look at the footage -- but Hardison has already doctored the video to show the judge holding Nate at gun point and making the shot to Nate look deliberate rather than accidental. Bill believes it and arrest Roy for it while [[VillainousBreakdown Roy furiously denies it while being drag away]].
