Season 3 Episode 2: Locker Room Talk

Welcome to the Locker Room things are about to get nasty Nay Nay style! Is Drew dating Brie Larson? Did he see Mike Myers or Mike Myers? Lets check out whats on Netflix! And Nate allegedly gets abducted by Aliens.

## Episode Summary

What an honest and cathartic episode. Drew adds a compressor to mess around with this audio and saw Michael Myers. Nate reads a surprisingly well written Heavy.com article that covers Brie Larson's recent hijinks with a four eyed mystery man. Tom shows everyone how smart he is by remembering everything that happened in the episode.

### Watch-a-long

No watch-a-long this week as the file got corrupted according to Drew. This may or may not be related to the alien abduction (see Freaky Figures section)

Some hitman parks in some other guy’s spot, straddling a a gun and a picture of some other guy. Then that very guy shows up and yells at him. Later that day, the yelling man gets shot by someone out of frame, and next thing you know he crashes through his office window and lands on his car.

Cole has a nightmare and calls Nat (his ex-wife) at 4am. He shows up at her place only to find her new boyfriend and, mistaking him for a burglar, assaults him.

Murtaugh announces Cole will be joining them for dinner, which Trish does not care for since she is suspicious of Cole. For some reason, Roger drives to pick up Cole at his place, only to find him being arrested. As the police drive SWS away, he worries his new partner is another loose cannon headcase.

Later that day, Cole is attending a briefing by two FBI agents Ray and Stan (Nick Searcy and Russell Wong, respectively). It seems there were no repercussions after all. The FBI Agents show them the crime scene and video tape of the hitman. The victim was Edward Ross, a rich guy financial advisor who laundered Money for a local gang, the Surenos. They've agreed on a suspect, Darwin Perez (Christian Ochoa Lavernia), ex member of that gang recently back in LA. When Cole asks a simple question, the FBI Agents totally shut him down.

Roger complains to Avery about Cole, Bailey comes in and gives says they found the suspect. They all rush over there and suit up, but Cole still thinks something is awry, so he scales the building and knocks on Darwin’s window – who is understandably worried and pulls a gun on Cole. He convinces him to come with him just in time to scurry out of the window before the FBI bursts in. Just as they head down the staircase across the hall, Roger sees them and Cole smiles as they get away.

Again, they both just go to the station, Cole just didn’t want anyone to get hurt! A true professional. The FBI Agents interrogate Darwin, but when they get nowhere Cole announces over the speaker they will protect his family if he gives them a name. The Agents are furious but to everyone’s surprise, he gives them a name: Exit Wound, called that because of all the times he’s been shot. Cole then moonwalks out of the room.

Murtaugh is disturbed so he seeks Dr. Cahill’s help, and she reluctantly agrees to talk to Cole to see if maybe she can find out more about him than Roger. She meets Cole in the break room but he just thinks she’s hitting on him.

Later that day, still Cole’s first day as Murtaugh’s partner, he goes to see Nat, his ex-wife at the hospital, where she’s a busy doctor. He tries to soothe her by telling her he did a background check on the guy he beat up this morning, aka her new boyfriend, and he's actually a pretty decent guy and he approves them dating. She takes this totally the wrong way and returns to her shift. Cole realizes he's still on the job, so he runs over to the front desk, flashes his badge for a split second and asks for information about Exit Wound aka Luca Chavez (Burton Perez).

Of course, they give him his location and Cole zips over to a restaurant, where he pretends to torture Exit Wound by holding a popsicle on his neck while holding a creme brulee torch pointed away from him, confusing him until he finally reveals that Ross, the victim, had other clients.

Suddenly, some gangsters bust in and try to shoot Cole or Exit Wound, not sure but Cole manages to kill or incapacitate them all. EW eventually manages to grab one a dropped gun but before we see what he does the FBI Agents storm in and Ray shoots him. Cole shouts at him for this and squeaks, “Don’t take anyone’s life to save mine!”. Murtaugh then questions if Cole will ever be someone’s partner, let alone his.

He returns home where the whole Murtaugh family has gathered for dinner to meet Cole – only for Roger to tell them he’s not coming. They get all pissy.

Avery talks to Cole about Murtaugh, tells him he’s got a radical open-door policy and wants total trust and honesty in a partner (which is interesting because he never trusts his wife), and this inspires Cole to go over to the Murtaugh Mansion to make things right.

Trish and Roger cry about Riggs, they both miss him, but then somehow, they get all horny and Roger tells a still teary-eyed Trish to get the wine and he’ll get the mood.

Roger puts on some music and Trish gets naked, but just then, Cole steps through the door and sees *everything*! She calls Roger who comes in perplexed, but before Cole can explain Trish yells at him to get out.

The next day, Bailey has gone over the victims other clients, as in the other two seasons she is the one who does all the work, and usually is a significant part of solving the case of the week. MM = GOAT.

Murtaugh and Cole squabble but Bailey isn’t having any of it and leaves, so they figure out on their own that an Enrico Fels could be the killer. They drive to his house where Murtaugh punches through the wall. Quite the amazing guess, it turns out, because they find a corpse right behind the hole. That's Enrico, but they are more interested in a big empty duffel bag he's holding.

Just as they figure out Enrico can’t have been the shooter, the FBI agents pull up, but they are in the same van as Surenos! They’ve been conspiring with them all along, using Enrico’s bank account to launder money. When Cole realizes this, he builds a little white flag and waves it outside to surrender.

Somehow this prevents a firefight, and they kidnap Murtaugh and Cole, and tie them up in a freezer inside the restaurant they killed Exit Wound in. They pull out Cole and interrogate him about the money (that should have been in Enrico’s bag), but he starts to play agents Stan and Nick against each other. This leads to them trying to kill each other and chaos breaks out. All this time, Murtaugh was able to escape and just before the two FBI agents can kill them, Murtaugh shoots Ray and Cole throws a giant knife into Stan’s chest. Relieved, they both swear to never become like ‘those two’.

Later that very same day, Murtaugh asks Cahill when she’s gonna start treating Cole and she says she’s not going anywhere near that – not after the last guy; noted emotional terrorist Martin Riggs. Nat invites Cole to dinner, but he gets cold feet and cancels last minute after seeing her and his daughter with the new guy through the window.

That night, Trish and Murtaugh show up at Cole’s place – his room at the Safari Motel. She tells him they’re an ‘all or nothing’ family when it comes to Murtaugh's partners, and that she demands full exposure in return. But that doesn’t mean she wants to see him naked; she just wants to know what he’s *about*. He confesses that he got a kid killed – Hanni, his 9-year-old Syrian informant. He’s worried he’s not good for Murtaugh, but Trish disagrees and says he brought him back to life!

They celebrate by drinking some wine from paper cups on the balcony, and chuckle about Cole’s many exploits in various countries around the world, where he certainly did a lot of good things and helped everyone! Except for Hanni that one time.
