As the FBI starts the final siege into the Chicago Police Building where Danny Roman and the hostages are held, Sabian and Roman evacuate and go to Niebaum's house. Roman searches for the taps that Niebaum had, implicating the officers. When he can't find them, Frost comes in and suggests to Roman there is a way out. Sabian shoots Roman and talks about being in on the scam. When Frost leaves the house, he sees that Hellman, Allen, and Argento (The three in on the scam with him) are being arrested. When being read his rights, Frost points the gun under his chin, to which he is shot in the shoulder and arrested. Roman knows Sabian bluffed him, being shot, and Roman is shortly thereafter reinstated as a police officer.
