History Recap / MafiaIII

Lincoln infiltrates the abandoned First Baptist Church.

%%Charlie Kincaid wears dogtags and fatigues, suggesting he fought in the Vietnam War like Lincoln did, and he has a baby on the way. He can be heard deliberating on what to name his baby if you sneak up on him.

Lincoln makes his way to Perla's (now unsportingly renamed "Doucet's") and meets the coat-check girl Sheila at the door. She informs Lincoln that the girls are kept upstairs, then leaves Lincoln to do his thing. Lincoln infiltrates the club and finds the girls, who are kept in private rooms behind the gallery seating area. Lincoln frees the girls from their torment and even ends the life of the building's "Doctor Horse", who provided the heroin that kept the women enslaved. On his way out, Lincoln returns to the Blue Gulf Motel, where John Donovan provides him with a walkie-talkie so that Lincoln can radio his allies for help.

Reporting back to Laveau, he is directed to Merle's top pimps, "Rooster" Desaulniers and "Dirty" Gert Delong, who have now been sent out to collect more money to make up for the loss of the thoroughbreds. Figuring their deaths will best draw Merle out of hiding, Lincoln kills Desaulniers as he oversees a cheap sex shack, and he kills Delong at the Carousel Hotel where he pimps out his whores. With the racket bleeding money, Lincoln meets again with Laveau, who confirms that Merle is at Doucet's and hopping mad. Lincoln returns to the theater as Merle rants and raves in his office over the loss of his top women. Lincoln works his way through the Dixie footsoldiers guarding the place and reaches Merle himself. He ends the worthless pimp's life with a well-placed (and well-deserved) stab in the neck, calling in Cassandra's gangsters to secure the building. The Perla Robinson Memorial Theater is restored to its former name and newfound glory.

Cassandra's contact is revealed to be Charles Laveau, the ex-bartender of Sammy's Bar, who now hosts the revolutionary pirate radio show ''The Hollow Speaks'' under the moniker "The Voice". Glad to see Lincoln alive and well, Laveau fills him in on the details of the Dixie Mafia's prostitution racket. The operation is run by a pimp named Merle Jackson, who has Black women at his beck and call to serve his White clients and their desires. Three women in particular, Theresa Mayeux, Deborah Rouquette, and Lucy Doussan, are kept locked up as his "thoroughbreds", and Merle keeps them in line by having them addicted to heroin. For a particularly disgusting kick, Jackson runs his operation out of Perla's theater, which is named after Sammy's late wife and Lincoln's stepmother.

Shifting his focus to the heroin racket, Lincoln meets Donovan at a bus stop across the street from the abandoned First Baptist Church. Donovan explains that the operation is run by a man named Charlie Kincaid, or "Four-Finger" as he's more commonly known. Like Merle, Charlie keeps a distance from the racket directly, and his operation will need to lose serious money to flush him out. However, unlike the rest of the Dixie Mafia, Charlie doesn't believe in the cause of white supremacy and only runs his operation as a way of making money for his family. As such, Lincoln figures he may be able to recruit Charlie over to his side with the right persuasion.

Donovan provides Lincoln a way of gathering information needed to flip Charlie by demonstrating how to tap into the city's communication grid through the junction boxes. Just then, he becomes incensed when he catches a glimpse of a nearby poster promoting the virtues of communism, asking Lincoln to destroy more like them should he come across them.

Lincoln decides his first priority will be to free Delray Hollow from whoever Sal has given it to, which Donovan learns is a neo-Condeferate street gang known as the Dixie Mafia. Donovan says the gang has started trafficking heroin in the neighborhood, a decision that infuriates Lincoln. In order to gain assistance, Donovan says Lincoln should ally with the Haitian gang, who have managed to resurge after Baka's death. The current leader of the gang is unknown, and not even Donovan's research has been able to determine who they are. Lincoln decides he must find some members of the Haitian gang and interrogate them to find their boss.

The remaining robbers manage to free Danny's leg and jump into their boat as the police arrive in their own boats to give chase. Lincoln guns the motor and weaves between the pillars, eventually managing to jump the boat off a ramp. With some breathing room, the gang climbs up to street level in the French Ward, hoping with Mardi Gras underway, the cops will be too busy dealing with the revelers and they will be able to call in a car from Sammy and slip away unnoticed.

Unfortunately, Sammy notes that the roads are closed off, so a car can't come to them. However, he can arrange for a car to be left at a nearby grocery store, forcing the quartet to stay on foot. As reports of the robbery and the abandoned boat being found come in, arriving policemen force Lincoln to pass the money and Danny over to Giorgi and Ellis, allowing them to reach the car while he fires a gun in the air as a distraction. Lincoln manages to sprint to the car and drives franticaly to get the police off of him, Danny, and Ellis, with Giorgi having gone off his own way. After some chaos, they finally manage to break the chase. All in all, over $6 million is stolen in the Federal Reserve heist (which is a ''princely'' sum of money in 1968).
