If they hadn't found his secret and stopped him. That bomb was set to blow up that floor of the building with the city leaders above it and they would have died. Who else was there to kill? He would have killed Jamie Foxx's character eventually I would suppose, then what? Just sneak out of his tunnel and disappear into the world? What was his end game?

Nick just sees case numbers and names in a file. Justice is just whether or not he won, and the verdict is closure. Nick is so disconnected that he doesn't even look at crime scene photos.
I think the main "lesson" Clyde was trying to teach Nick was how it feels for the victims and their families. Clyde made it personal, and then taunted Nick the same way Darby taunted him. remember how Clyde taunted Nick about being able to hurt his family? That was specifically to give Nick a hint of how Clyde felt after what Darby did.
I believe Clyde technically got his endgame. Nick straight up killing Clyde goes against his own follow-the-rules or trust-in-the-system rhetoric. Though he was probably expecting a bullet just before he pushed send. -

I think Clyde's endgame was to expose the legal system as something that's so broken and corrupt that it doesn't do its job properly anymore. He definitely succeeded in achieving that particular goal.
