The Lincoln Lawyer

Mick drives to Fernando Valenzuela’s house and sees a huge plasma TV being delivered. Mick tells Valenzuela that the detectives confirmed that Roulet’s tracking device gives him an alibi for Levin’s murder. Mick asks Valenzuela where he was at the time of the murder, insinuating that the TV must be a payment for helping Roulet in some way. They argue and Mick accidentally knocks over the TV, causing the screen to shatter. Valenzuela is so angry at the accusation that Mick realizes he is looking at the face of an innocent man. He apologizes and offers to pay for the TV, but Val just wants him to leave.

On his way home, Mick receives a call from Maggie. He tells her that someone is framing him for Levin’s murder. She asks him to do whatever he can to keep this from their daughter. He assures her that he has it under control and that no one will ever know, but he is also very seriously considering quitting the law. Maggie tells him that she and Hayley love him, something she never says.
