Using the info from Nick's prison cell stories, Rudy is able to devise a robbery plan and informs where the largest amount of money is hidden at the casino.

Ashley drives into the Casino and lets Nick/Rudy know she is in on the heist.

It is revealed that Ashley's real name is Millie Bobeck. and Rudy learns that the two had collaborated to rob the casino using Rudy and Gabriel and his gang. Ashley had known the entire time who Rudy truly was. Nick also informs Rudy that the prison stories were part of the set-up. After they tie Rudy to the steering wheel to drive off the cliff, he produces a knife he had gotten earlier, cuts his bindings, hot wires the car, sets it in reverse and crushes Nick.
