The third season of the "Scoop" series starts with a new Montreal Newspaper: the "Scoop", run by president Stephanie Rousseau (Macha Grenon), with journalists picked up from "L'Express", which became a competitor. The team includes her boyfriend Michel Gagne (Roy Dupuis), Charles Dumoulin (Rene Gagnon), his daughter Alex (Joelle Morin), and other regulars.
This time, as a young newspaper in the already saturated newspaper market of Montreal, with "L'Express" and la "Nouvelle", the "Scoop" has a hard time and tough decisions are to be made. Mostly that the accountant (Sophie Lorain) has an eye on all expenses though the losses are counting. Despite that, there is a good mood, and Stephanie must prove to her dad, magnate Emile Rousseau (Claude Leveille) that she can handle business as a future heir to his communications empire...
But disaster strikes as Stephanie is kidnapped by some thugs who would like to get ransom from her rich dad. Boyfriend Michel Gagne will do anything, even collaborating with the Mob (*spoiler* in a lynch-mob way) to find the crooks and free his girlfriend. However, Stephanie's life is forever changed and will have to live with fear to be threaten forever. For that, Michel has to move his family in the Rousseau Manor, guarded like a fortress, west of Montreal...
However, Emile Rousseau suspects his competitor to buy too much shares to take control of his company, as well as planning that kidnapping to force a share price-drop... A heavy chess game with classical music in the background is the climax of that confrontation...
Not only his girlfriend Stephanie had trouble, but Michel is trapped at the end in a mine shaft with workers. As she cames to rescue him, she hears another tragedy that might change her life forever...
As good as the first two seasons, though it is darker and more terrifiying (mostly the kidnapping...), with great performances here and a well written script... Just a perfect cliff hanger for the fourth and final season of this excellent series...
