It reminds me of a time when I accidentally found a lost puppy under my car seat – only this time, it’s not quite as adorable or furry!


As a gaming enthusiast who’s been hooked on “The Lincoln Lawyer,” I can’t help but ponder: who stashed a corpse in Mickey’s Lincoln Continental? In the nail-biting climax, we find our rogue hero cruising LA streets, but an unforeseen turn of events has him pulled over by a cop. Here’s your guide to the shocking revelations and cliffhangers of “The Lincoln Lawyer” Season 3 finale – not to mention what it might mean for season 4!

What happens at the end of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3?

At the conclusion of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3, the lifeless corpse of swindler Sam Scales was discovered lodged in Mickey’s car bumper.

After finishing up with my demanding client’s case, Lorna suggested I take a break and enjoy some tranquility on vacation. On the drive home in my iconic Lincoln, an officer flagged me down unpredictably amidst the bustling LA streets. I was asked to step out of the car, and they questioned me about a suspicious substance that appeared like blood oozing from my trunk. Quite unexpectedly, when the officer inspected my trunk, he found a body – it turned out to be Sam Scales, who had apparently been shot and hidden in my bumper.

Who put the dead body in the trunk of Mickey’s Lincoln?

It remains unclear who put the dead body in Mickey’s Trunk.

Mickey’s tranquil interludes are suddenly shattered when a surprising figure turns up in the back of his car. Yet, it seems that the mystery surrounding this suspenseful conclusion may be unraveled in Season 4 – though we don’t have an official confirmation about its release.

In an interview with TV Insider, showrunner Ted Humphrey shared his thoughts on the surprising conclusion. He stated, “So we wondered, what could surpass this? The answer is clear: Mickey has become a client himself. The danger that his previous clients faced is now his own, and it’s undeniably the most challenging case he’s ever encountered.

How is The Lincoln Lawyer Season 3 ending different from the books?

In the third season of “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Michael Connelly’s fifth novel, “God of Guilt,” serves as the basis. Just like in the book, Michael tackles the case of Andre La Cosse, who is falsely accused of murdering Gloria. However, unlike the book, it is revealed at the end of the series that James De Marco was the actual killer. Although the series draws heavily from its source material, it also exercised creative license to make certain adjustments in the storyline. The ending of the series differs from the novel as the creators aim to establish a new case for Mickey.

During an interview with TV Insider, Humphrey explained that they typically establish the next case for the season, but this particular one won’t do that directly. Instead, it will certainly pave the way for the upcoming book. Meanwhile, Rodriguez hinted that the current narrative is being skillfully linked to The Lincoln Lawyer Season 4 in a manner that promises excitement and personal relevance.
