* WhateverHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:James Marco. In the chaos of Lankford's suicide, Marco slipped out of the courthouse and that was the last time anyone ever saw him. Officially, the Feds are now actively looking for their rogue Agent (and believe he's hiding in Southern Mexico with the aid of the cartel factions he was working for). Unofficially, Mickey receives a video of a cartel execution from an anonymous sender (almost certainly Hector Moya). Mickey turns the video over to the authorities and while they're awaiting authentication, there's no doubt in Haller's mind it's Marco (even if the Feds will never be able to locate or recover the body).]]

* UncertainDoom: Zig-zagged with [[spoiler:James Marco in the epilogue. Mickey's certain the dead man in the cartel execution video he's sent ''is'' Marco and is confident the Feds will authenticate it. But because the execution occurred somewhere in Mexico, they'll also never officially be able to recover Marco's body and prove it.]]

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:The Sinaloa Cartel, or at the least the faction that corrupted James Marco. It's implied in the epilogue that they were the ones behind Marco's arrest of Hector Moya to get a rival out of the way.]]

* JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: James Marco, without coming out and saying so, attempts to cite this as justification to Haller, recounting the ghastly cartel murders Hector Moya committed in Mexico when he was a teenager and not subject to trial as an adult. [[spoiler:However, it then gets subverted in the epilogue when the Federal investigation into Marco's illicit dealings gets underway. The Feds believe Marco had been corrupted by the Sinola Cartel and had been doing their dirty work for more than a decade. They think the arrest of Moya was really Marco having been ordered by his bosses to get ride of a cartel rival.]]

* NeverFoundTheBody: A variation with [[spoiler:James Marco. Mickey is certain Marco's the dead man in the cartel execution video he's sent anonymously in the epilogue. But ''because'' it was a cartel execution somewhere in Mexico, Mickey knows that even if the authorities authenticate it, they'll never be able to locate or recover Marco's remains.]]

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Downplayed, but [[spoiler:Marco setting up Hector Moya's arrest and imprisonment. If it ''was'' done on the secret orders of the Sinaloa Cartel, it's also never answered why he simply didn't just have Moya killed.]]
