Season 3 Episode 15: The Final Episode of ClayneCast Ever

Its the final episode of Lethal Weapon and therefore the final episode of the show. We have nothing left to give you. No gas in the tank. Goodbye everyone. Forever.

## Episode Summary

The final and last episode! RIP! **#notevenkeith**

Nate’s studio is flooding. Someone’s hoovering in the background. They actually talk about the episode right away, something that didn't even happen in the early season 1 days! We also get the AMP draft, taking only a brisk year after being mentioned. Drew is mad about Johnny Depp but the truce is still on.

### Father-Son-Updates

Since ClayneCast is over, the boys are being set free. This basically means they are being abandoned in a large Mall kids playground. Over time they will come to thrive in this new environment.

### Lethal Weapon episode recap

Cole is upset about his ex-wife Nat marrying the dentist Andrew. Conveniently the crime of the week directly involves Andrew as Barnes, Cole's old CIA handler, has been using his doctors without borders company to smuggle drugs or guns. Everyone is back on screen again this week, Sonya Bailey, Bernard Scorsese, the freakin’ GUTE. Even Monty, the guy who works the evidence room!  A south American hitman gets defenesetrated and drops 10 million dollars in loot. The FBI makes Murtaugh wear a wire to catch Cole or Barnes. Meanwhile Trish's run for DA is in full swing. She still has time for phone sex with Roger while in her office! Avery makes a fun move in the office and Scorsese only has one line. Nat gets abducted by Barnes and she's on a skyscraper construction site on a bomb. Cole saves her and she makes it to the wedding. Then Cole crashes the wedding and steals her at the altar and they escape in the limo. As Drew said in the watchalong, it’s a good episode for season 3, but not a good episode of TV.

- Roger

We start with some flashbacks to Cole and his ex wife’s relationships.
Then its suddenly the wedding with Andrew, but they’re waiting for Nat.
We cut to Murtaugh getting wheeled into an ambulance but yells his partner is still “in there”, pointing to a skyscraper. In the skyscraper Cole saves Nat in a wedding dress from a bomb. Somewhat reminiscent of the milk episode. Definitely the same building/set.
It was just a sneak preview, as we’re now suddenly back in the past where Cole is telling his daughter about Wabi-sabi. Nat picks her up and they bicker or whatever who cares. She’s going on doctors without borders with their daughter and Andrew even if it may kill them.
Roger makes a fancy soufflee (which seems like the only fancy dish the writers can think of) but Trish has to cancel
She calls him to have phone sex while she’s in her office. Trish!
We are all desperately longing for a crime of the week when suddenly the freakin FBI knocks on his door! Roger says he needs 10 minutes.
Cole meets Barnes, his ex CIA handler in their fav bar and where he tries to entice him.
The FBI is looking for Barnes, not Cole. They remind Murtaugh he’s got a family to think about, pressuring him. Luckily they don’t know about the countless crimes he’s committed since season 1.
Rog drives to the Motel to find Cole but the large clerk comes and tells him he’s already gone, but confirms he left with Barnes.
Cole meanwhile goes to some building and stops an assassin from killing some guy who turns out to be Andrew, the man his ex wife is marrying! Andrew Simons!
Of course a fight breaks out and they wrestle but loosen a gun and eventually Cole knocks the hitman out of the window of the 18th floor even though Barnes said they need him alive.
Murtaugh suddenly shows up and looking for Cole overlooks him as Cole hanging from the window, is hiding from Murtaugh.
Cole is in the break room where it is the next day and the GUTE pays him a visit.

As we now have come to expect, there are no consequences for anyone. Gute says how its normal to stalk exes as she has done before.Roger confronts Cole about their main lead who happened to take a nose dive last night, but Cole plays dumb. Just then, Avery (KRAHM the GOAT) rides in popping a wheeling on an invisble motorcycle and asks them what's up. He’s so cool. Why can’t we have a spinoff with him and Bailey.
Anyway, Cole decides to join Andrew’s bachelor party, and they go on a party boat. Or maybe just a bar somehwere I wasn't paying attention. Eventually they end up in a bathroom and a fight breaks out when some shady lookin dudes come in. The fight scene is surprisingly well choreographed, and in the end we find out the attackers are actually FBI agents. Before Cole can make sense of it, more FBI agents swarm into the bathroom. Oh yeah during this whole fight/scuffle, Andrew got his tooth chipped on a toilet bowl.
Cole gets interrogated by the FBI. She tells him Barnes has actually not been working for the CIA for several months. And also, Barnes has been using unsuspecting doctors to acquire prescription medicine aka DRUGS. Among these doctors is Andrew. Murtaugh also comes in and apologizes for wearing a wire. Cole says he protected the badge or something.
Cole goes to check Maya and Nat and she hugs him good bye.
Cole meets with Barnes, wearing a wire. He wants to take Barnes in saying they know everything. But just then Barnes presses a button and suddenly, the FBI has lost audio surveillance.
Barnes says he needs 10 mil the assassin they just killed had in his pockets somehow, and it's not in the evidence locker. He says if he doesn’t get him the cash, Natalie won’t “make it to her wedding” and leaves. Cole then also flees and knocks out two FBI agents in the process. I think he also steals one of their guns.
Suddenly Cole is hiding out at the Murtaugh Mansion. The FBI knocks but Murtaugh lies and says he has no clue where Cole is, before walking into his bathroom where Cole is. Cole tells him he needs 10 million dollars because Barnes is holding Natalie captive.
Back at the LAPD station, Scorsese, Bailey and the Gute develop a plan to get Cole his 10 million, even if it could be their end. Just then, Avery walks in and tells them he hopes everything goes smoothly for the DA Photo op with the ten million dollars they recovered from the suspect. He also tells them exactly where it is very slowly as if to join in on the plan.
They all go down to the evidence locker, where we encounter Monty (who is one of the very few characters to make it all the way through the 3 seasons).
They hand over the Money to Roger and Cole, and the two of them drive to meet Barnes.
In some skyscraper construction site, they hand of the 10 milli and Barnes tells them Natalie is in the top floor. But just as the two of them run up to save her, Barnes shoots Murtaugh in the back.
He’s bleeding out! Barnes taunts them saying Cole will only be able to save one and that’s the problem with having too many friends.
Cole brings Murtuagh upstairs to Natalie and forces her to operate on Murtaugh. Unfortunately, she’s strapped to a Bomb on a pressure plate. Cole orders her to “operate” on him. She uses a spent bullet casing to cauterize the wound.
Meanwhile, Roger calls in to a radio show where Trish is giving an interview. He says he loves her blah blah blah and Nat shoves the bullet into Murtaughs wound, and then uses a taser Cole hands her to shock him, burning the wound yet cauterizing it momentarily. As Drew mentions, he has a pacemaker. So this would probably zap that and kill him.
He plops Roger on an office chair and sends him downstairs in an elevator.
Cole returns to find the Bomb has started beeping, which is never a good sign. He says he’s not going anywhere without Nat and they plan to do a leap of faith out of the window. He grabs her, they run and he shoots the window to easily escape as you normally do. This time there is no Tetris shaped pool to save them, instead they are blasted to the safety of a construction crane with a big hook hanging from it, which they latch on to. Safe at last!
Cole drives Nat to her wedding in the limousine, but when she walks down the altar, she figures out she doesn’t actually want to marry Andrew. She grabs Maya, her daughter, and runs out to Cole, who drives them away to anywhere.
Murtaugh in the hospital gives Trish the wire which will exonerate Cole.
The end...?

## The ClayneClandestine

AMP itself was mentioned in episode 2 already, however the AMP Draft wasn't brought up until episode 5, where it was also postponed until this episode.

Nate first was reprimanded for chewing ice in season one and also did it again in season 2.

## CCEUpdates/AMPDates

American Monty Python (AMP) is back from the dead! It's well on its way to replace Lethal Weapon as the next big hit TV Show/Movie/Biopic/Limited Series/Broadway Play!

### AMP Draft

**The stupid Rules:**

1. Everyone gets three picks, and there is a veto option.
2. Each Host gets two Vetos **overall**. You can’t retract it to gain it back. But you don’t lose a Veto if you don’t use it.
3. It's a Snake Draft which means each host gets one pick per round and the picks go in a specific predetermined order. After a round is over, the following round is in the reverse order of the previous round. So Drew-Tom-Nate-Nate-Tom-Drew-Drew and so forth.
4. Through Vetos and whittling they need to end up with 7 cast members left.
5. It's been decided to stick with 8 cast members.

**Drew:**

* ~~Johnny Depp~~ - Veto by Tom
* Tara Strong as Dannan O'Mallard
* ~~Damon Wayans Jr.~~ whittled
* Jerry O’Connel (Initially veto'd by Tom but then the veto was recalled.)

**Tom:**

* Baby Yoda aka Grogu
* Ozzy Osbourne
* T (Tom's son)
* ~~Kevin Bacon~~ (Veto by Nate and Drew)

**Nate:**

* Lizzo
* Selena Gomez
* Orenthal James “OJ” Simpson
* ~~Drew Powell~~! Veto'd by the others

Grogu will be CGI, Dannan O’Mallard animated and Toms Son T will be greenscreened in since he may be too volatile around the other cast members.

Due to a clause in Ozzy's contract, his CryptoBatz NFT's will be prominently featured in the show.

There will be death simulations with OJ, maybe every episode he somehow brutally dies.

Jeremy Piven is not involved despite what you may have heard.

By being drafted all the cast and crew are contractually bound to work for CCE now.

### JP:SB

The grounds JP:SB resides on is considered sovereign land, so drunk driving is permitted, as are open containers.

### CCPMCSB

A new bar opening up inside the Mini Cooper dealership called **The VVhite VVitch**. Run by head mixologist Phelan, you will be served magical anti-hangover alcohol potions that will make you feel really good and also entice you to buy a mini cooper.

## Get to know your host(s)

Drew actually already watched the **entire** lethal weapon show before starting ClayneCast. Holy shit.

Nate is a sweet guy but he's very intense.

Nate’s Dad built a walking stick that sounds pretty cool. Now all it would need is some promotion. Nate.
