Later, while Stabler questioned Teddy about Luca, Robert interrupted their conversation and told Stabler that Teddy was not answering any questions without an attorney present. Robert also threatened to call the police commissioner on Stabler if he doesn't stand down. Stabler ended up backing away and left the apartment. Later, after Teddy brutally assaulted Luca after discovering that he drugged Pearl, Luca revealed that Robert ordered him to drug Pearl. Robert fled out of town before he could be arrested.

### Arrest

After Robert's attorney shows up at the squadroom, the attorney claims that Robert will only cooperate if Teddy gets released from prison. After the DA refuses to release Teddy from prison, Robert asks to meet with them to make a deal. Bell and Stabler then meet with Robert at a warehouse where they have no cell signal. Robert notices that there is no ADA but Bell claims that she will call the ADA when they know what he wants to share. Robert claims that he has recorded conversations and notes about all sorts of corruption across the city but he wants Teddy to be released. Bell tells Robert that Pearl had given them enough intel but Robert told them that it is nothing compared to what he has to offer. Robert then claims that he has an MRI which shows that he has a brain tumor. While Stabler notes the cameras, Robert tells Stabler that all men choose between being a good father or husband or being good at their job. Stabler then tells Robert that Pearl was pregnant. When a man disguised as an ADA enters the warehouse to assassinate Robert, Bell chases after him to protect Robert and ends up getting injured herself. Bell then limps over to Stabler and Robert where Stabler tells Robert to hide. Stabler then gets into a shootout with the fake ADA while Jet and Reyes get involved too. The fake ADA then runs out of bullets and attempts to attack Stabler with a fire extinguisher before running and attempting to shoot Jet. When Stabler catches up to him, Stabler shoots the fake ADA where he falls out of a window to his death. After ADA Sanders gets kidnapped for ransom, Stabler tries to trick the mobsters by pretending to exchange Robert for Sanders. However, Stabler then ends up causing a shootout but the cops run to the control room to barricade themselves. After the gunmen surrender, Robert ends up getting arrested for his crimes. As Robert was being taken into custody, Robert claimed that he only stayed alive for his grandson. (OC: "Last Christmas")
