The group shows Emery the original footage that proves his innocence, but tell him the alteration was not made by the intelligence community.

A series of flashbacks show the lawyers working with the group to fake the footage of Emery attacking Roberts, helped by Eli, a whistleblower from Napier’s team. They intended to reveal Roberts as alive after Emery’s trial for her murder, and so uncover the practice of “correction” and exposing real miscarriages of justice.

After Roberts goes into hiding, Garland, Hart and Napier begin to suspect the footage is a stunt to expose their practices, and Napier decides to make the false story “true” and kill Roberts, .

After interrogating Eli, Napier and his men track Roberts to a safe house, where she is killed. Hart informs Carey, and she leaves with Flynn, disgusted.

Wanting Emery to be re-arrested, Hall’s group tips off the police, who surround the club, but Emery is able to escape with the assistance of Carey and Flynn.

Napier instructs Garland to identify Emery’s daughter’s school.
