    Vaseline Posted on

    Spoiler alert: The following contains details from Season 3 of “The Lincoln Lawyer,” streaming now on Netflix. Beware if you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to know.

    The last time we saw Mickey Haller, he was driving his Lincoln convertible to the morgue. This time the dead body was closer than he thought.

    Season 3 of “The Lincoln Lawyer” begins after Mickey (Manuel García-Rulfo) receives a call from a new client being held on murder charges for the death of Gloria Dayton, aka Gloria Days (Fiona Rene), a former client became a good friend of Mickey. Now we see Mickey’s quest to defend an innocent man and avenge Days’ death, while exposing a corrupt justice system.

    “The stakes are much higher this season as Mickey tries to get to the bottom of the death of someone he really cared about, which is a significant difference from previous seasons,” says showrunner Ted Humphrey (“The Triangle,” “Thick As Thieves”) . ) tells USA TODAY. “You start to realize and Mickey starts to realize, does he have anything to do with this? He may feel on the hook for leading Gloria Days down this path. So it’s very personal for him.’

    The stakes don’t get much higher than in episode 10, where Mickey’s future as a lawyer is put to the test when the police find an unlikely companion driving his Lincoln. “It’s certainly designed to be the biggest one we’ve done yet because what can be bigger than someone you care about getting killed and you feel you’re somehow responsible and you that you have to get to the bottom of? How can you top that?” says Humphrey. “Well, there’s a dead body in your trunk.”

    But first: who killed Gloria Days?

    Julian La Cosse, who worked with Gloria Days and other sex workers, insisted throughout season 3 that he had nothing to do with her death. After a lot of digging and a few dangerous and life-threatening encounters with a new big bad introduced this season – the Mexican Cartel – Mickey and his team prove that her real killer was a corrupt Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent named James De Marco ( Michael Irby).

    In cahoots with his private investigator, Neil Bishop (Holt McCallany), De Marco discovers Glorida’s address and sets her house on fire shortly after Julian leaves.

    But what was De Marco’s motive? He worked with the Juárez Cartel to cover up their mess and after busting Gloria for prostitution and drug possession, he held it over her head. When one of Gloria’s clients happens to be rival Tijuana cartel boss Hector Moya (Arturo Del Puerto), De Marco uses the dirt he has on Gloria to force her to plan a weapon against Moya – who is sent to prison for life after the gun has been stolen. turned out to be related to a triple murder.

    What book is ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ season 3 based on?

    Season 3 is based on Michael Connelly’s ‘The Gods of Guilt’, the fifth book in the ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ series.

    “In Mickey’s world, the ‘Gods of Blame’ is a phrase we’ve used before that usually refers to the jury,” Humphrey explains. “But very specifically in this story, Mickey begins to realize that his own personal gods of guilt extend beyond any particular case: it’s not juries, it’s all the people in your life who matter and who you do things for.”

    Mickey Haller can’t help it: a new love interest is introduced

    Instead of sleeping with customers, Mickey now sleeps with colleagues.

    “When it comes to romance and love, he’s the worst. Instead of going after a waitress or a doctor, he goes after a lawyer,” García-Rulfo says of Mickey’s love interest this season, his courtroom opponent Andrea Freeman (Yaya DaCosta). “Not to mention, she’s best friends with his ex-wife Maggie.”

    Still, García-Rulfo finds the combination in season 3 interesting “especially because they are opposites. She is very strong, beautiful and by-the-book, while Mickey is driven by his instincts.”

    Like Mickey, Andrea also struggles with guilt after failing to inform a client named Deborah Glass that her abusive ex-husband will be temporarily released from prison, resulting in her murder. “When we raised the stakes on Mickey, we had to raise the stakes on Andrea at the same time so they ended up in the same place,” Humphrey says.

    Who Dies in ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 3? Mickey deals with two major deaths

    Season 3 of “The Lincoln Lawyer” has the highest body count of any season to date.

    In episode 3, “Rearview Blind Spots”, Andrea receives the news that her client has been murdered by her ex-husband. In episode 5, “What Happens in Victorville”, Mickey and his new driver Eddie Rojas (Allyn Moriyon) suffer a tragic accident caused by De Marco (who is also dead at the end of the season), and Eddie is not. don’t get out alive. This one especially hurts because Eddie is a family friend who babysat Mickey’s daughter Hayley. “So what happens to him creates ripples that extend beyond just the case,” Humphrey says.

    García-Rulfo says Eddie’s death “just breaks him,” adding that it is a turning point for Mickey as well.

    “He says, ‘No matter what happens, I’m going to seek the truth and justice.’ He knows everything is at stake, his family is in danger, but that’s why I think the ghosts are there,” says García-Rulfo, referring to Mickey’s character who represents the ghosts of Gloria, Eddie and his father in the final scenes of episode 10. ‘It’s his conscience that he won’t let him go until he goes all the way. But it’s sad, poor Eddie, he’s so sweet.”

    At the beginning of the final episode, “The Gods of Guilt”, Neil Bishop (Holt McCallany), who worked with De Marco, dies by committing suicide after testifying. “The climax of Season 3, which is essentially Bishop’s testimony, is one of the most indelible moments of all of Michael Connelly’s ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ books,” says Humphrey. “To some extent, the whole show has grown towards that moment.”

    ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ Finale: Who Framed Mickey Haller for Sam Scales’ Death?

    You may need to look again That last scene of episode 10 a few times to really understand what’s happening.

    After Mickey proves Julian’s innocence – at the cost of Bishop shooting himself and Julian almost not surviving prison after a stabbing – the gang goes out for a celebratory dinner where he announces he’s going to take a much-needed vacation.

    But before he turns on his away message, he may have to prove his own innocence. After Mickey leaves the restaurant, he takes a drive through the streets of LA in his sleek Lincoln Continental and is later suspiciously stopped by an officer. The two go back and forth as the officer informs him that his license plate is missing – but as the two look at the car’s bumper, blood drips from the trunk.

    Once the officer opens the trunk, Mickey is confronted with the body of Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton), a former client of Mickey and Lorna, only after she passes the bar exam. The “hope is that people will freeze their image and look closely, because you can actually see his wheelchair, and that gives you a little idea,” Humphrey says.

    “The ending is just another big hook,” says García-Rulfo. “Mickey is always struggling with something and it’s really nice, as a viewer and as an actor, to see the hero go through all these obstacles and still want to see him succeed.”

    The struggle could be real for the Los Angeles-based attorney. “But I can assure you: Mickey Haller will not go down without a fight,” says Humphrey, “and neither will Lorna or anyone else.”
