History Recap / MafiaIII

To that end, Lincoln turns his sights onto Sal's youngest brother, Tommy Marcano. Tommy is easily the smartest of Sal's brothers and though his rackets selling off stolen property and an illicit gambling ring in the Southdowns district are more low-key compared to his associates, his smarts have managed to greatly expanded their earnings. It is also through his connections to Sal's former casino operations in Cuba that he managed to find Alvarez, and Lincoln figures messing with Tommy's rackets will rattle the counterfeiter's cage enough to try and bail.

Interrogating some members of the Southern Union brings Lincoln information on two noticeable aspects: active Southern Union "Uncles" James, Bartholomew, Andrew, Jude, and Thaddeus are across the neighborhood doing a secretive job for Chester. Whatever that job is, it's connected to something happening at Bellaire's Supermarket after closing time. With this information in mind, Lincoln kills the Uncles and destroys some Southern Union propaganda before he returns to Jackie to relay what he's learned. She informs Lincoln that Chester is the majority owner of Bellaire's and something big is happening there at ten o' clock tonight. Grimaldi has also learned that Lincoln's attacks have the Southern Union worried...

To that end, Lincoln turns his sights onto Sal's youngest brother, Tommy Marcano. Tommy's rackets in the Southdowns district are more low-key compared to his associates, selling off stolen property and an illicit gambling ring.

Lincoln meets Donovan back at his motel just as he is talking to one of his associates, a Ms. Lancaster who is helping him with another "project" of his. Lincoln reiterates how much hold Remy has over the casino, while Donovan reveals that Remy is also the head of a white supremacist group called the Southern Union. The group's membership consists of some of New Bordeaux's wealthiest citizens. When Lincoln brings up Olivia Marcano, Donovan brings up her history.

Originally a wealthy woman coming from old money, Olivia joined in with the Marcano family through marrying Sal's brother Lucio. Eventually, she took over his businesses in Frisco Fields after his murder in 1962. In addition to her supporting the Southern Union, she has expanded into the trade of PCP. Lincoln figures taking out Remy will leave Olivia and Sal tied in legal battles over reclaiming the land with him dead. Tampering with the PCP and the Southern Union especially will cross Remy so badly, he'll make himself known and vulnerable.

To that end, Lincoln turns his sights onto Tommy Marcano. Tommy's rackets in the Southdowns district are more low-key compared to his associates, selling off stolen property and an illicit gambling ring.

A few days after the death of Remy Duvall, Lincoln meets Donovan in his catering van in Frisco Fields, where the latter explains his plan to have Lincoln infiltrate Remy's funeral. Sal and Olivia are at each other's throats now that Remy is dead. With all aspects of the casino being in Remy's name, Sal will be tied in a particularly costly legal limbo for years trying to get everything. However, Olivia has found a potential way out of this mire. Remy's only living relative, his estranged nephew Stephen [=DeGarmo=], is set to inherit all that Remy owned, and Olivia is in possession of a will Remy wrote that gave the land to her, but never signed. As Stephen is set to come to Remy's wake, she believes she may be able to convince him to sign over the land by promising him a cut of the casino's profits. After the contract is signed, she will have Stephen disposed of. Sal agrees to the idea, warning Olivia that she is on ''very'' thin ice with him.

By now, one of Sal's brothers is still alive and the other has been slain by Lincoln's hand. Sal's desperation turns him to a callous Cuban drug lord named Nino Santangelo. Santangelo was supplying Giorgi with the heroin he was planning to deal, and though Sal is not one to deal in hard drugs, his dire circumstances have led him to working with Santangelo. Sal reluctantly asks for money from him to make up for what he's lost to Lincoln. In exchange, Nino will have carte blanche to sell heroin without any interference from Sal. Nino agrees to the terms, asking as well that he should be the one to personally kill Lincoln Clay. Sal is taken aback by Nino's particular fondness for killing Black people, but he sordidly confirms the deal.

After Lincoln has eliminated the second capo of the Marcano family, Sal's desperation turns him to Cuban drug lord Nino Santangelo.

With the noose starting to tighten on Sal's resources, Giorgi suggests they may be able to make up the difference of their lost assets with help from the Commission. However, Sal balks at the idea of asking the Commission for help, since the entire point of building the casino was to free him and his family from the Commission's decrees. Nonetheless, Sal reluctantly places a call to Leo Galante and asks him for a favor.

Lincoln first attacks the PCP business, getting intel from Burke's old gangster Bear Donnelly, who has now gone independent. He has forayed into the PCP trade himself, but is being crushed by the competition as run by Bobby "Veal" Bastian. Bastian has upgraded Olivia's recipes and equipment to the extent that he is blowing the small-timers out of the water. He has three expert cooks brought in from San Francisco on his books and has even arranged for the local taxis to act as drug couriers. Bastian is specialising in marketing his product to housewives as a "diet aid", leaving them well on the hook by the time they realize they've been had.

Interrogating some members of the Southern Union brings Lincoln information on two noticeable aspects: active Southern Union "Uncles" James, Bartholomew, Andrew, Jude, and Thaddeus are across the neighborhood doing a secretive job for Chester. Whatever that job is, it's connected to something happening at Bellaire's Supermarket after closing time. With this information in mind, Lincoln kills the Southern Union Uncles and destroys some Southern Union propaganda before he returns to Jackie to relay what he's learned. She informs Lincoln that Chester is the majority owner of Bellaire's and that Lincoln's attacks have the Southern Union worried, and that something big is happening tonight at ten o' clock.

Lincoln interrogates Carter and learns that two other families of kidnapped Haitian people are being held in a cabin and a bunker, as well as the location of where the Union's Coyote stashes the money made from the trafficking. After murdering Carter for his crimes, Lincoln storms both locations where the hostages are kept and frees them, and while he is ambushed stealing the Coyote's money, he fights through the reinforcements and returns to Jackie with the racket in tatters. Jackie reveals that Chester has come out of hiding. He is now at Bellaire's trying to destroy all evidence connecting him to the slave operation before skipping town to avoid Olivia's wrath. Lincoln storms the store and finds Chester, mortally wounding him. Deciding that Moreau is far too heinous to even consider letting him live, he ends him with a well-placed (and ''very'' well-deserved) stab to the face.

After the Clay mob take over the supermarket for their own ends, Remy takes to ''Native Son'' as drunk as he could be. He unleashes a frothing rant about the state of New Bordeaux and the rise of Civil Rights, letting his mask of southern civility slip and exposing the bigoted monster he truly is. As he calls out Lincoln and the Marcano family, the radio station crew are forced to drag him away from the microphone kicking and screaming.

With Lincoln having made a mockery of the Southern Union, Donovan plays a recorded conversation between Remy Duvall and Olivia Marcano. Remy has decided he will not stand for a Black man running rampant through Frisco Fields, and he will organize members of the Union to storm Delray Hollow looking for Lincoln, Sal and the casino be damned. Lincoln returns to Frisco Fields, waiting for a Southern Union hunting party to find him, taking them out except for a hooded deacon of the cause. Under interrogation, the deacon reveals that Remy will be gathering men of the Union at the state park named after his grandfather before they officially begin their hunt.

After disposing of the deacon, Lincoln heads to Cleavon Duvall State Park and comes across a meeting where Remy is stirring up both his armed henchmen and a throng of Frisco Fields residents decked out in their Klansmen-esque robes. As Remy finishes his speech and rallies his comrades into a chant, Lincoln makes himself known. Remy and the Southern Union soldiers turn to fight Lincoln, while the robed members attempt to flee like the feeble cowards they are. Once Lincoln tears through Remy's foot soldiers, he confronts the man himself. Remy is critically wounded yet still defiant as he spits in Lincoln's face. For his trouble, Lincoln ends his life by tying him to a cross and setting it aflame, letting him burn to death.

A few days after the death of Remy Duvall, Lincoln meets Donovan in his catering van in Frisco Fields, where the latter explains his plan to have Lincoln infiltrate Remy's funeral. Sal and Olivia are at each other's throats now that Remy is dead. With all aspects of the casino being in Remy's name, Sal will be tied in a particularly costly legal limbo for years trying to get everything in his name. However, Olivia has found a potential way out of this mire. Remy's only living relative, nephew Stephen [=DeGarmo=], is set to inherit all that Remy owned, and Olivia is in possession of a will Remy wrote that gave the land to her, but never signed. As Stephen is set to come to Remy's wake, she believes she may be able to convince him to sign over the land to her by promising him a cut of the action, then disposing of him once the land is theirs. Sal agrees to the idea, warning Olivia that she is on ''very'' thin ice with him.

As such, Lincoln is to go into the funeral being held at the Retroussé Yacht Club, hiding in plain sight by being dressed as a waiter. His goal is to spike the wine being served to the guests with an LSD-based concoction, which will leave all the guests disoriented enough for him to get close to Olivia and take her down. Donovan drives Lincoln through the gates and lets him out at the service entrance. Lincoln is led to the wine by the kitchen's belligerent manager Clarence and ordered to serve the mourners. After dosing the wine bottles when no-one is looking, Lincoln serves his doctored wine to Olivia's bodyguards while the rest of the staff unknowingly dose the rest of the guests.

With everyone in a state to ignore Lincoln, he follows Olivia to a lounge as she notices the guests losing their minds. Lincoln delivers a bottle to the room, allowing him to collect a stashed revolver and gun down Olivia and her men. As Olivia lays wounded, Lincoln presses her into revealing Stephen's location, which she reveals as a shed out in the back of the club where Stephen is being beaten into signing over the land. Evidently, negotiations between her and Stephen went rather poorly.

Leaving Olivia to her injuries, Lincoln breaks into the back of the Yacht Club, tearing through Olivia's men and freeing Stephen of his binds. Fleeing the arriving police in Stephen's car, Lincoln goes on a chase throughout Frisco Fields until his pursuers are left far behind. With that, he drops the battered Stephen off with Donovan, who gets him far away from Sal's grasp and ensures that Sal won't get the land for the casino without a fight. The next day, Olivia is found in her hospital bed, dead with a slashed throat. The fatal cut is not done at Lincoln's hand, as he generally does not kill women; rather, it is Giorgi who kills Olivia on Sal's orders, reporting back to him that the murder at least is a success. However, he has not been able to find hide or hair of Stephen [=DeGarmo=].

%%Perhaps it is through denial of territory, perhaps it's allowing one gang to secure conquered territory, then calling another to run the district it's in. Whatever the cause, it is certainly possible for one or more of Lincoln's underbosses to turn against him, requiring him to put them down.
