### Lethal Weapon Episode Recap:

Season 2 Episode 1: El Gringo Loco

As we all surely remember, the last episode ended with Riggs driving down Mexico way to track down Tito Flores, the Cartel Kingpin who ordered his Wife’s death. This episode takes place 2 weeks after the season 1 finale.

Tito is easy to find, so Riggs breaks into the hotel he’s meeting his mistress at and kills a bunch of guards/henchmen. Eventually, he confronts Tito (who has a ball-gag on in his underwear). btw **Riggs is wearing a rainbow poncho and sombrero**! El gringo loco!

Unbeknownst to Riggs, Murtaugh has been following him and appears just before Riggs can kill Tito. He squeals “I LOVE YOU MAN!” and this somehow makes Riggs change his mind and not shoot Tito.

So, Roger is still on his “do things the right way” trip, but Riggs is a civilian now, and he’s killed a bunch of dudes. Murtaugh uses a grenade, in a hotel! All this time, Avery is defending Riggs and Murtaugh to some internal affairs investigators who suspect Riggs and Murtaugh may be loose cannons.

They lock Tito in the trunk and extradite him to the US. But Riggs slams the trunk shut and cuts off Murtaughs finger. OW! That's much more likely to happen then, say, getting shot. Doesn't Murtaugh have a heart condition? Where's his fitbit? No, no, this is the best way to write this.

They drive to a hospital in America (Los Angeles is about 15 minutes away from Mexico by car) and get the finger re-attached. Because that’s better than calling the ambulance or going to a hospital in Mexico? Tito is still in the trunk.

Murtaugh is all silly from the morphine when they arrive back at the station, proud of their catch. But when Avery goes to check on Tito, he finds him dead in the trunk!

They get their badges and guns taken away and temporarily suspended. Weird that there would be consequences, but they head home.

Roger has been gone for two weeks, and the Murtaugh subplot went on without him! The kids and Trish threw a lavish post-graduation party, bla bla bla RJ picked a college without him Riana has a belly button ring. Murtaugh says the only girls who have belly button rings are the ones that get paid to show it (he really said that) to which the entire room gasps.

Cahill checks on Riggs in his trailer, says it’s not as bad as she expected **(could she really be talking about him?)** but he’s a total dick to her. However, she is so great she makes him see reason eventually. Jordana is welcome on the pod at any time, open invitation! (Drew won't be present)

But as we find out, while Murtaugh was under the influence of Morphine, he babbled information about Flores when he got his finger reattached. The nurse, Denise Barnes (Katie Walder), told her brother - who just happens to be in the Border Patrol - what Murtaugh said. Roger finally remembers this and confronts her at the hospital, where she is closing down and also the only one there, like any hospital. Then some cartel guys show up to kill them, but Roger uses a scalpel to take out a few before surprisingly Riggs shows up and kills the rest. Thanks to Cahill he realized that he also loves Murtaugh.

The Nurses brother, Kevin Barnes, a wee little man, actually walks into the station and confesses to murdering Tito. This means Roger can get his gun and badge back! Riggs then acts like a psycho and bursts into the interrogation booth to ask Kevin what it was like to kill Tito.

Roger makes up to the family with a dinner, Riggs shows up and instantly notices Riana’s bellybutton piercing (they zoom in on it) but as we know thanks to Drew, the actress that plays her was *certainly* 18 or older so it's not weird at all.

Riggs tells Roger that he doesn’t think Kevin did it. *And* says he’s his friend. Aww.

The next day they confront Kevin and he eventually fesses up to not doing it. He says it was probably the second in command, Raul Mendez (Manuel Uriza). He used to take bribes from him to let a truck cross the border every now and then, but says it was "mostly harmless stuff". Probably just a bunch of t-shirts or toys in those trucks! Luckily he recorded a phone call where Raul just happens to confess to killing Tito.

Anyway, they get grenades and a Rocket launcher from the evidence locker, no problems there, then drive back down to Mexico for a second time. They’re probably still technically suspended; Riggs needs to be in a psych ward or something – but it’s fine! They can cross the border like nobodies’ business.

Shortly after, they arrive in Mexico at a Church, where Raul is fooling around with Tito’s mistress (Daniela Gomez), at Tito’s wake. A real class act this guy. But just as it’s about to get good Riggs barges in with the grenades strapped across his chest. He’s a good guy though, so he lets all the civilians leave.

Roger is also in Mexico when Trish calls him. She says “I got your message. You’re in Mexico with Riggs *again?”.* Amazing stuff.

He’s in the church setting up the PA system to play a recording of Raul’s confession. He chokes out some guy that sneaks up on him with an audio cable, another life taken, then presses play. Riggs does what can only be described as a second-rate Cruz impression reciting Raul's confession, before finally the call plays over the speakers.

Raul denies it all and calls Riggs Gringo Loco. Riggs again asks to die but then somehow ends up killing all the bad guys and capturing Raul alive. Murtaugh drives them to safety as Riggs fires a rocket launcher at the remaining bad guys.

Back in L.A., Avery gets scolded by IA but nothing really happens to him and Riggs and Murtaugh officially get their badge back.

Riggs goes to Mirandas grave and buries the ring he got at a pawn shop after losing the real one in the bay, but who cares. He gets sad and then drives to the Murtaughs. They’re having a kids party and he brought two bottles of Tequila. The end.

All in all, a good start to season 2 aside from a few bad bits (the Murtaugh subplot).

## The Leftist Angle

Medication isn't drugs, as long as it's prescribed. Drug-related issues are the fault of the lawmakers, not the people.

And the cartel is mutual aid!

## AMPDate

AMP is taking a break, not to stop, but to recover from all the trauma suffered during season one, due mainly to Johnny goddamn Depp.

The Hosts have instead began work on a new big movie starring Tom Holland, THE PAVER, about a paver.
