Roy agrees, taking a heavy beating, and eventually having to drag himself to the end of the line. While successful, he is badly hurt. When asked what he wants, Roy explains that it's only a matter of time before the police follow the same trail he did to find Freebo and the police will have to act because of the public. With the pressure on, a desperate Freebo reveals that he contracted AIDS as a result of his rape, which he felt justified the murder of homosexuals.

Before leaving, Ramirez fires all the clean cops, especially Roy and Pike. Nichols tries to hire them back, however, his secretary tells him to watch the news where Ramirez and Chief Greenhorn lie to the press, claiming that Nichols fired Ramirez because when Ramirez was investigating the death of Alexis Morrison, she found evidence of Nichols' involvement and went to confront him about this and then claimed that Nichols fired her because she refused to cover it up.

Infuriated with Deadshot's cowardice, Arsenal knocks him out. Deadshot is then arrested. Laurel presents the proof gathered by Nichols and the city council votes against the impeachment. Despite this, Greenhorn still refuses to allow Nichols to rehire all the clean cops that Ramirez fired, citing that she was acting on behalf of his instructions.
