Clyde suggests another deal, but Nick, having finally come to understand him, says he no longer makes deals with murderers. Nick and his men cannot find Clyde, but discover a cell-phone-activated suitcase bomb planted in the room directly below the meeting.Ĭlyde returns to his cell and is surprised to find Nick waiting for him. Evidence points to Clydes next target, City Hall, where the mayor is holding an emergency meeting. He realizes that Clyde wanted to be in solitary confinement all along this allowed him to easily leave the prison without detection and carry out his pre-meditated murders while misleading the police, who have assumed his murders to be the work of accomplices. A tunnel leads to a cache of guns, disguises, and other equipment below the solitary confinement cells, with secret entrances to each cell. Nick learns that Clyde owns an auto garage near the prison. The irate mayor puts the city on lockdown and promotes Rice to acting District Attorney. While leaving the funeral of a colleague, Cantrell is killed by a weaponized bomb disposal robot. Nick demands an end to the killings, but Clyde tells him that he is just beginning to destroy the corrupt system and all who believe in it. Clyde counters that Nick did not care and that if he had at least tried but failed, Clyde would have accepted it.
Nick meets with Clyde in private, beats him, and yells at him in frustration that if they had tried to convict Ames and Darby, they might have gone free. After Clydes deadline passes, a number of Nicks assistants die from car bombs. Nick takes precautionary measures instead. He then demands to be released and all charges against him dropped or he will "kill everyone". Clyde explains to Nick that the murders are not about revenge, but the failures of the justice system. During a meeting with Rice and Cantrell, the judge is killed by an explosive hidden in her cell phone. They are warned Clyde can kill anyone anytime he wishes and that if he is in jail, it is all part of a bigger plan. They learn Clyde previously worked with the agency, creating imaginative assassination devices and orchestrating intricate lethal tactics against nearly impossible targets. After sharing his meal with a cellmate, Clyde proceeds to kill him with his steak bone, forcing the warden to secure him in solitary confinement.Ĭantrell arranges a meeting with a CIA contact and brings Nick. Rice finds him buried alive, but too late to save him was suffocated by time-mechanized materials while Clydes lunch was delayed. Once he has his meal, Clyde provides the location of the lawyer. Nick agrees, though the lunch is delayed a few minutes by the wardens security measures. The judge cites him for contempt of court and orders him to be jailed.Īfter giving Nick his confession, Clyde demands an elaborate steak lunch and a music player be delivered to his cell by a specific time, in exchange for the location of Darbys lawyer, who was reported missing. In court, Clyde represents himself and successfully argues he should be granted bail, then berates the judge for accepting the legal precedent he cited, believing her too easily convinced and eager to let madmen and murderers back on the street. In prison, Clyde demands a new mattress in his cell in exchange for a "confession." Nick initially refuses, but after learning that Clyde sent Nicks family the snuff film of Darbys murder and traumatized them, District Attorney Jonas Cantrell orders Nick to make the deal.
When Darbys remains are found, evidence ties his death to Clyde Clyde willingly surrenders and goes to prison. He straps Darby to a table, makes medical preparations to prolong Darbys suffering, and then video-records himself dismembering and killing him. Clyde, disguised as a police officer, reveals himself as the caller and paralyzes Darby with tetrodotoxin. An anonymous caller alerts Darby as the police draw near and directs him to a remote location. Ten years later, Ames is executed via lethal injection due to a chemical alteration, he dies in agonizing pain. Clyde feels betrayed by Nick and the justice system. Ames is convicted and sentenced to death, while Darby is released after a few years. Unwilling to risk lowering his high conviction rate, he makes a deal with Darby: in exchange for testifying against his accomplice, Rupert Ames who only intended to steal from Clyde and flee, Darby will plead guilty to third degree murder and receive a lighter sentence.
Prosecuting attorney Nick Rice is unable to securely convict Darby due to mishandled evidence. In a Philadelphia home invasion, Clarence Darby murders the wife and daughter of Clyde Shelton, who is forced to watch.
