#### **Recap:**

A big LAPD Donor’s daughter gets kidnapped by Texas Nazis, which means Riggs worst nightmares come true: his dad is involved in the case of the week! Murtaugh takes over for Avery who is sadly absent. Instead, they make Bailey do even more work than usual, going to extreme lengths to avoid having Clayne and Damon in the same scene. She goes everywhere with them! They even bring in Leo Getz again to carry some scenes. But we love them both. What an amazing show. This episode was produced by McG so at least we get some nice explosions, and we see neither Riana nor Son of Roger this time which is pretty great. Molly and Ben also stayed home for his one.

This episode starts with Riggs walking into Murtaugh's home, only to find Trish and Roger chit-chatting with his father Nathan (Rex Linn), watching a home movie of young Riggs and him (but it’s just the scene from last week's episode where his dad smashes up the house with a baseball bat). When Trish goes to get popcorn from the microwave, the house blows up and Riggs wakes up in his trailer – it was just a dream!

He immediately goes to see Dr. Cahill, probably to ask for sleeping pills, but she makes him talk about his dreams and helps him see things clearly. His dad was stabbed in prison, and he had him relocated to L.A. 6 weeks ago but hasn’t been to see him. Another worrying detail about the dreams is they always take place at the Murtaugh's house.

Speaking of Murtaugh, he’s been promoted to interim Captain since Avery is on a seminar and plays James Brown to set the tone. Bailey comes in and says a mannequin could do his job then Murtaugh gets called up to the executive floor where there’s an omelet bar.

There the police commissioners, led by commissioner Debra (Rebecca Wisocky) tell him the daughter of some important LAPD Donor got kidnapped, an hour ago. Luckily, the kid next door filmed this all on his TOY DRONE. They’re able to find out two things from this HD video:

1. The Van has mismatched colored doors
2. One of the Kidnappers has an Arian Fraternity of Texas (AFT) Tattoo on his underarm, which they are able to zoom in on/enhance without any sort of image artifacts or blur. Simply amazing.

And just then Riggs waltzes in! They called him to the executive lounge because they know (as does everyone) that his dad is/was a high-ranking AFT member. So, they figure he’s gonna offer them a lead, and for that they’ll let him out early. This shakes Riggs to his core. He barely hides his contempt for the plan, but he goes to see his dad who tells him about some barkeeper who may know who was involved.

Murtaugh talks to Mark Conlon (Hector Hugo), the kidnapped woman’s father, but then Leo Getz (Thomas Lennon) shows up and embarrasses everyone. Hope you like Leo (we sure do) because he’s forced to carry a big part of this episode.

Riggs goes to this barkeeper his dad told him about and makes a big scene and takes the guy out back, where he tells him Nathan Riggs sent him, and he wants info on the kidnapped woman. The Barkeeper laughs at Riggs when he learns who his dad is, then tells him to turn around. He does and sees the van from the drone video. He runs up and snoops around, when some young blonde guy tells him to stop, but he doesn’t. Meanwhile, Sonya has arrived, but just then two bad guys come out of the bar, one of them credited as the “Aggro Thug” (Jess Allen) yells “*Riggs, what’s that guy doing in our van?*” but then the other blonde guy turns around and responds! Huhhhhh????? Whhaaaaa?

Before they can figure out what’s going on, Clayne yells “**GUN!**” and Bailey shoots both guys dead on the spot, but not before one of them fires into a gasoline can and a fire breaks out. They bail just in time before the van blows up.

The explosion destroyed ALMOST all the evidence from the van. Luckily a thermos bottle with some DNA on it survived! Wow. Bailey ran it through the database and their perp has a 50% match to *dun dun dunnn*….**Nathan Riggs**! So, Martin has a brother!

When Riggs learns this, he stomps away all upset and goes to confront his dad. He tells him the perp is in fact his brother, Garret Riggs (Peter Coventry Smith) and he’s a good boy not involved with this nonsense.

Across town, the bad guys have Mark Conlon’s daughter tied up in the shower and are planning a ransom drop-off.

They tell Mr. Conlon no cops, but Murtaugh shows up and sits down on the bench behind him. Then out of nowhere Clayne shows up as well and before we can realize how odd this all is, a phone stuck beneath the bench rings. The kidnappers order Mr. Conlon onto the bus, but once on it some guy in a hoodie snatches his moneybag and runs out of the bus. Clayne chases after him and it turns out to be none other than Garret!

He witnesses Garett hand over the bag and then naturally a chase ensues.

Roger then commandeers the bus to chase after the getaway drivers, much to the dismay of the lady driving it. Her distrust was not unwarranted as Murtaugh crashed the bus into several parked cars while the bad guys got away. Riggs eventually catches up to his brother, but this is Lethal weapon, so of course before they can have a heart to heart, a taxi crashes into him and puts him in a coma.

Riggs tells his dad Garett was involved, but he is pissed and shouts at him. Then he goes to visit his brother in the hospital with Roger, who tells them the commissioners have pulled them from the case and that the FBI is taking over. We never see any actual FBI agents, but Murtaugh suggests they won’t stand for it, and since he’s the captain they can do whatever they want (unlike all the previous episodes?).

Suddenly they’re back at the station and Roger is sitting back out at his old desk because the captain’s office is crammed full of things he’s requisitioned. Bailey comes in and tells them the bag Conlon was going to hand over only could fit about 31 thousand dollars in small bills, not 600 thousand like he claimed, so they wanna talk to him.

Meanwhile, Leo Getz is leading a class action lawsuit against Murtaugh in the name of the people on the bus he crashed yesterday. He goes to see a Sean Banks (Chad Rook) who the cameras captured on the bus, but Sean is having none of it and speeds off. Leo just happens to catch a glimpse of a Conlon pharmaceuticals on the passenger seat.

In the station, they confront Conlon, and he confesses that there wasn’t any money in the bag, it was routes and schedules for one of his trucks, that the Nazis want to steal because it contains a precursor to meth. As Riggs found out before, their main drug supplier got caught or something. Somehow Riggs knew about this plan and also where the bad guys would be, so he’s observing them and climbs onto the truck without them noticing.

Simultaneously, Leo calls Murtaugh and tells him about Sean Banks, the 19th passenger on the bus who had a Conlon Pharmaceuticals bag in his car. This is enough to convince Murtaugh he was involved in the kidnapping, and he orders Leo to keep following the guy. Even though commissioner Debra is angry at him, Roger speeds off with Sonya in the Ferrari. If you’re a cop the worst thing that can happen is that your boss yells a bit but as long as you get the job done it’s all OK. ACAB.

Leo’s followed the bad guy to a Motel they’re hiding out in and of course *getz* found by a guard and tied up next to miss Conlon. Soon after, Roger and Sonya arrive at the Motel, where Bailey (the ultimate GOAT, Michelle Mitchenor) has an amazing scene. Murtaugh pulls into the parking lot, skids towards the bad guys lair and Sonya fires a submachinegun out of the passenger side window, killing a further 3 bad guys. Murtaugh, in a case of vehicular tomming, fishtails the rear of the car into a maid cleaning cart that then gets hurled into the last bad guy taking him out.

They save Conlon’s daughter and Leo, who keeps making jokes, just saying anything to get the episode to 44 minutes. The reason he needs to do this, and why Murtaugh is there with Sonya, not Riggs, is because Clayne and Damon could not be in a scene together. There are often close ups of their individual faces, and their interaction together seems so fake or unnatural as if they’re not looking at the right space (greenscreen).

Anyway, Riggs is on the roof of that truck and eventually pops in the window, fighting the driver who then crashes the truck into a huge sand/water embankment, which we see shot from multiple angles. They fight a bit more or are exhausted can’t remember, then the driver, Llewyn Scott (Adam Sinclair) recognizes Riggs and says he’ll let his dad live if he lets him get away. Riggs walks away but the guy pulls his gun on him, only to be shot by Clayne in a very James Bond way firing under his arm without looking. Great.

Back in the Office, the commissioner tells Murtaugh he’s being promoted to the captains position full time because Avery is running for office. Nooo don’t leave KR! Please!

Anyway, Murtaugh goes home and tells Trish, and Riggs goes to see his brother in the hospital – where his father is as well, out of prison as part of the deal! He hints that he might have planned for Riggs to kill Llewyn Scott (the bad guy in the truck) and get him out of jail. Clayne gets all upset and the episode ends.
