02x01 - El Gringo Loco

[bunniefuu]

Previously on Lethal w*apon...

I'm an open book.

What would you like to discuss?

How about your wife?

Next question.

Your wife's death wasn't an accident.

Who ordered the hit?

Who's responsible for k*lling my wife?

Flores. Tito Flores.

If you go and k*ll Flores in cold blood,

then what's left for you?

What's left for me now?

I went by his trailer this morning.

He was gone.

Where did he go?!

Mexico.

There's something I got to do.

make sure you come back to me.

_

Oh, I found him.

Who? Riggs?

No, Tito Flores, head of the cartel.

If he's here, Riggs is not far off.

I followed his mistress to a hotel.

He just showed up.

Clearly the man's not being
satisfied at home.

Hmm. That makes two of us.

Roger, you have been in Mexico

for two weeks
and still haven't found Riggs.

When are you coming home?

I'm sorry.

If I'd known I was gonna be here
this long,

I would've brought my supplies.

My head oils, lotions, and exfoliator.

I don't even have
my electric toothbrush.

This is a disaster.

Mm, yeah, I'm sure you're roughing it.

I've seen the credit card bills.

The Four Seasons, Roger?

I'm tailing Tito Flores.

The man has expensive taste.

Trust me, this has not
been no picnic for...

Lobster tacos, extra guacamole, señor?

Yeah. Put them on top of the hood.

- Okay.
- Is that Dad?

Does he have another family down there?

Oh, yeah, tell him to bring us
something back from Mexico.

Like tequila.

Ha. Very funny.

And this is not a vacation.

He is there on legitimate
police business, right, honey?

The LAPD is aware
that you're down there.

Yeah, well, well, technically
I'm using vacation days.

But I'm definitely gonna work that out

when I get back down there.

Roger,

Riggs is a grown man.

He can make his own decisions.

Ha. If only that were true.

You know how many messages
I've left for him?

Texts? Totally unresponsive.

You think it would k*ll him
just to reach out to me?

Hmm? See how I'm doing?

Hey, Trish, I'm gonna have to

call you back.

I think I found Riggs.

I mean, I knew you as
a cold-blooded k*ller, Tito.

But I'm seeing you in a whole new light.

I mean, this right here,
this is some kinky stuff.

Please.

You're gonna have to elaborate, Tito.

Are you begging for your life

or, uh, you want me to spank you?

Anything. I'll give you
anything you want.

Don't you remember?

You took away everything I ever
wanted when you k*lled my wife.

Gringo loco.

You will never make it
out of this hotel.

My men will k*ll you.

That's the plan, Tito.

See, you and I are going out together.

Good news is,

I'm dying with my pants on.

Now...

this is something
that Miranda never had.

It's the moment that you know,

without a doubt...

that you are gonna die.

You ready?

No.

No!

Good.

Rog.

Riggs, lower that w*apon.

Lower it?

Is that okay?

Come on, you know what I'm saying, man.

This is not a joke. Come on, don't...

don't, don't do this.

Hey, Rog,

you might want to, uh, step back.

This is a .357. It's gonna be a mess.

Look, look, look, we can
do this the right way.

We...

we take him in.

And he stands trial.

He will pay for what he did.

No.

This feels like justice to me, Roger.

Hey, Riggs, you pull that trigger

and your life is over.

Yep.

Might want to get out of here.

They're gonna ask you
why you didn't sh**t me.

I'm not leaving.

Okay?

You want to do this?
Then you know what? Fine.

Both of our lives are over.

So be it.

Riggs, please don't. Please, please.

No! I'm going to do it! Then get out!

Riggs, I love you, man!

Did you just say you love me?

Yeah.

I-I guess I got, I got caught up

in-in the moment.

So, hey,

maybe there-there's
something that you...

want to express to me.

In return.

No.

Come on, man, I just opened up

and exposed myself emotionally to you,

and-and you don't have nothing?

Nothing to say in return?

Yeah.

Duck.

You got a grenade?

Well, yeah. I mean, I had it
at the house. I was like,

"When am I ever gonna get
a chance to use it again?"

- So I brought it.
- May I?

Yeah, sure.

One, two, three.

Your time will come, amigo.

This is a lot of damage. We got to go.

I had all this under control.

You didn't have to come down here.

No, now it's under control.

We have Tito.

We take him back to L.A.,

we book him,

resume our lives.

Not a scratch on us.

Now that's how I roll.

State your name for the record.

Captain Brooks Avery.

Captain Avery, are you aware
this panel has convened

to discuss the international incident

involving Detectives Murtaugh and Riggs?

Yes, I am aware.

And you understand it would
look very bad for the LAPD

if we had two officers
running around Mexico

wreaking havoc on a mission
for vigilante justice?

Absolutely.

And I am prepared to cooperate fully.

Good.

What are Riggs and Murtaugh
doing in Mexico?

My understanding is... fishing.

- Fishing?
- Yes, fishing.

They really like spending time together.

Sometimes you-you pair people up
and they just...

they, they click.

We're wasting time, Rog.

We have someone that we
need to be taking to jail.

After.

After we reattach my finger.

Ooh.

Okay.

Now she's calling my phone, all right?

- Just let me talk to Trish to...
- No.

No.

I need time to come up
with a plausible story.

I've got loads

- of plausible stories.
- You put the phone away.

Haven't you done enough?

You forgetting something?

Oh, it's pointing at me.

Oh, I need something for the pain!

Don't worry. We'll take care of you.

I need morphine.

Sure you don't want
me to come back there

- and hold your good hand?
- No.

Keep him away from me.

Family only, sir.

Well, he did tell me that he loved me.

I didn't mean it, Riggs.

It was a distraction
tactic, you hear me?

I didn't mean it.

When did you know you were dealing with

loose cannons?

Well, I mean, there was,
there was the Grand Prix.

And then they-they blew up
the fireworks factory.

And the pharmaceutical company.

No, no, they just jumped out
of the window of the pharm...

No, they blew that one up, too.

What was the question?

Sorry to interrupt.

It's urgent.

_

Is this for real?

I think so.

Will you excuse me?

We have some excellent news,

and I feel like you're about to learn

what I already know:

that Riggs and Murtaugh
are consummate professionals.

You're back!

I was worried.

Avery.

Come here, Captain.

- Mmm. You smell like cucumber.
- Morphine.

Why is he on morphine?

Had his finger reattached.

What the hell happened in Mex...?

You know what? I don't want to know.

But you do have Tito, right?

Of course we have Tito.

We're industry professionals.

Well, that's a stretch.

Great. Where is he?

What did you guys do?

We didn't do that, right?

No, Rog, we didn't.

You expect me to believe

that you have no idea

how Tito Flores ended up
dead in your trunk?

That's not what I said.

I said I'm not a forensic scientist,

but my guess would be
the b*llet to the head

scrambled his brains.

Who would have the motive
to k*ll Tito Flores?

Uh, I don't know. Uh, he's the head

of one of the biggest cartels in Mexico,

so I'm guessing it's a long list.

Would you put yourself on that list?

Did you not go down to Mexico
with the intent to k*ll Mr. Flores?

I think you're overstating that.

Uh, he went... we went down
there to arrest Tito Flores,

which we did successfully.

Here's a voice mail lifted
from Tito's phone.

Tito. Hola, amigo.

You know, when I woke up this morning

and I thought the sun is shining,

what a great day

to put a b*llet in your head.

Right between your eyes.

Don't lump me in there with him.

I was down there as the voice of reason.

It's true. The only reason
I did not k*ll Tito

was because he told me he loved me.

I'd like that stricken from the record.

- This isn't a trial.
- Okay, well, I want my lawyer present

because my brain is
still a little foggy.

It's a residual effect
of pain medication.

So I am not responsible for the things

I might've said.

Well, I'm an open book.

So ask away.

Why were you hunting Tito
Flores, Detective Riggs?

Because he k*lled my wife.
Next question.

Effective immediately, you're
both on administrative leave.

We'll need your badges and g*ns.

Unless otherwise notified,

you are not to go
anywhere near this case.

Wait a minute,
what's the matter with you, man?

You got us suspended.

I don't know why you're upset,
I just told the truth.

Plus, bonus vacation days.

Yeah, well, you know, I was thinking,

while I was doped up,
I might've told the nurse

that Tito was in the trunk.

I say we start with her.

Uh, we're on leave, sir.

Yeah, they always say that
and then we never listen.

It's kind of our move.

Not anymore. I am done.

What do you mean, you're done?

You want to find out who k*lled Tito?

I mean, look, obviously,
it should've been me.

But I'll tell you what:

you find him, and I'll buy him a sh*t.

So that's it... wait, wait.

No more being a cop?

Wh-What are you gonna do?

You're gonna go back to your trailer

and drink yourself into oblivion?

That, Roger Mayfield Murtaugh,

is the best idea you've had all day.

Hello?

I'm home.

Who are you?

All right, the party is over.

- Over!
- Dad.

It's wireless.

Daddy.

Hey, Pops, welcome home.

Don't "welcome home, Pops," me.

What's going on here?

I leave town for a couple
of days and you guys decide

to throw an unsupervised party?

Oh, wait till your mother
finds out about this.

Roger!

Oh, my God.

Welcome back, baby.

I missed you. Mwah.

Oh, are these for me?

This is so sweet, thank you.

Trish, wh-what is all this?

Well, the kids wanted to throw
a post-graduation party,

and I'd rather them throw it
here, where I can see them.

Who is manning my barbecue?

You?

You do not have a license
to operate her.

That is not a toy.

I'm going to college
in a few weeks, Rog.

I can manage a grill.

You picked a school without me?

Oh, yeah. Claremont.

Baby, isn't that a decision
that we should make together

as a family? Why wasn't I consulted?

Really? I tried calling
and calling you, Roger.

One time you were at a mariachi
bar, one time you were at a spa.

And the oth... you know what?

When you went down to Mexico,

I supported you;
I didn't ask any questions.

And I'm asking you to do
the same for me now, okay?

You're right.

Maybe I came in a little hot.

You know, it was a long day.

I'm just happy to see my family...

and what the hell is that?

Oh, a belly button ring.

Cool, right?

No, not cool.

The only girls that
wear belly button rings

are the ones that get paid to show it.

Daddy!

Roger! I'm saying,

you know your family keloids...

Really, that is not okay.

Okay, can you guys
please take it upstairs?

Okay? This is social su1c1de.

I know what's wrong, you're just mad

because I went to Mexico
for a couple of weeks.

I'm mad because you came back
acting like a horse's ass.

A horse...

Roger, what is that?

Oh, it's nothing,
I-I lost a piece of my finger.

They found it, put it back,
everything is fine.

And you didn't think to call me

when a part of your body goes missing?

Really?!

Can we start over?

Are you decent?

Nope.

Let me rephrase.

Do you have pants on?

Yes.

Wow.

This is not as bad as I expected.

You must have extremely
low expectations.

Came by to check on you.

I'm not sure if you remember,

but you sent me this note
before you left.

That is a thank you note.

Not to get all shrink on you,

but it read to me like a su1c1de note.

Hmm.

So you're done, huh?

No more being a cop.

Well, you know, they accused me
of k*lling Tito Flores,

if you can believe that.

But you didn't k*ll him.

How do you feel about that?

Well, I think the world's a
better place without him in it.

So I'll take one for the team.

What about your partner?

He followed you to Mexico
to save your life.

Sounds like you may have
ruined his career to do it.

Well, I didn't ask for his help, so...

that's on him.

You didn't have to.

That's what it means
to care about someone.

He wanted you alive more than you did.

Well...

I for one am glad you're back.

The world's a better place
with you in it.

Hi. I was in earlier

about a missing finger.

I know who you are, we're closed.

You need to leave.

It's okay, I'm a cop.

I need to know if I said anything

on that medication, anything unusual.

You kidnapped Tito Flores
and then you k*lled him.

- I saw the news.
- No.

I already hit the alarm.
Cops are on their way.

Real cops.

Honey, I am a real cop.

Let me see your badge, then.

Oh, okay...

Denise. Is that your name?

Okay, Denise,

there are some very bad men out there

with a*t*matic weapons
coming to k*ll you.

Why?

Wh-Who did you tell about Tito?

I called my brother,
he's a Border Patrol agent.

Okay. Open this door.

Open the door!

Okay.

I need you stay in here
until I return, got it?

Uh-huh. Wait.

I need a w*apon. Do you have anything?

Uh, uh... nurse, scalpel.

Scalpel...

I always wanted to say that.

Okay. I'll be right back, all right?

- Okay.
- Don't worry.

Industry professional.

Let's go.

Hey, Rog, you dead in there?

Yes!

Lucky bastard.

What's going on?

Who were those men? Probably members

of Tito Flores' cartel.

Now, you said you told your brother

we had Tito in the trunk?

Yeah.

Gordon works for Border Patrol.

I didn't know you guys were cops.

I figured he'd know what to do.

Hey, Bailey.

Murtaugh? Thank God.

Do you have any idea how dead
this place is without you?

Listen, for a concerned citizen,
could you put out a BOLO

for one Gordon Barnes,

born 7/30/79.

Sure. Who is he?

He's a person of interest
in the Tito Flores k*lling.

Since we're on suspension, we
have to do this under the radar.

- Got him.
- You looked him up?

No, he's standing right in front of me.

Sir, can I help you?

Yeah.

I'm here to confess.

I k*lled Tito Flores.

Okay, Bailey, don't ask me how I know,

but I think he might know
something about Tito's m*rder.

Murtaugh, I'm-a have to call you back.

Bailey, don't...

She hung up on me?

I've been a border agent for 15 years.

I had a front row seat to
the death, carnage, lives ruined

by drug lords like Flores.

If he went to trial, he would've walked.

I knew what I had to do.

He did it.

Rewind that back, that's a confession.

I don't need to rewind it,
I've watched it a dozen times.

I'll present this to the IA panel,

you should be reinstated by tomorrow.

Okay. Got my finger back,
got my job back.

Now I got to get my family back,

so I can forget this
nightmare ever happened.

What about your partner?

Before you left,
you said you wanted a new one.

Do you?

The answer to that will always be yes.

But it's not up to me.

He says he's walking away.

You believe him?

Any questions you got, I answered.

Your people have been
grilling me all day.

Just one.

What was it like to k*ll Tito Flores?

You want to know how it went down?

- I told them already.
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

How did it feel?

Look, I'm asking because
I wanted to be the guy.

You know, look into his eyes,
hear his last breath.

And I had this idea in my mind
of how it would feel.

And thanks to you,
I'm never gonna know for sure,

so if you could indulge me.

Oh, well, I don't know.

It happened quick.

All right, well, you got to give
me more than that, I mean...

was it like some inner peace,
like a weight lifted?

I don't know.

Coldness? Come on, lunatic to lunatic.

I felt like Tito needed to die

and so he did.

I mean, I would hope
Tito's k*ller would've been

a little more verbal, but all right.

Good luck in prison.

You're looking
at a deeply apologetic man.

Now, I scoured the city to find
everybody's favorite meal,

every teriyaki burger, soup dumpling,

sashimi, sweet mashed potatoes.

Mm. It's just a small token

of the appreciation I have

for this beautiful family that I love.

Hmm, so you think

getting some sushi

is gonna make up for your behavior.

No, no.

This is just the beginning
of what will be a-a...

Mm-hmm.

...a month-long grovel. Deal?

Roger.

Next time you come back
after being away,

we like this version of you.

- Deal?
- Absolutely.

Oh, wait, I have a demand.

Hey, don't you press your...

Sure, son, what is it?

I would like for you to come with me

to see Claremont College this weekend.

Book it.

- And, Riana...
- Mm-hmm?

...I respect the fact
that it is your body

and if you want to bejewel
your navel region, um,

I, uh...

I will support that.

Thank you, Daddy.

Does that mean I can get a tattoo?

Hey, come on, don't...

That's a conversation
that your mother and I

will have together as a unit.

And speaking of your mother, my angel,

I have not been a good partner to you.

And I want you to know that all
these fires on the home front,

it's not your fault.

Excuse me, what fires

aren't my fault?

Did I say "fire"?

- You said "fire."
- You said "fire."

- Why'd you make me say "fire"?
- No, he didn't make you say "fire."

You said "fire."

Roger, are your kids healthy?

Yes, ma'am.

Are they homeless?

No, ma'am.

Do they have all their fingers and toes?

Mm-hmm,

which is more than I can say about you.

Look, can we back up?

Um, something is happening
to my apology.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. You keep talking.

Okay, well,
I just want things to go back

to the way they were before I left.

Hmm.

Wow, looks like you just got your wish.

Martin.

- Come here.
- How are you, Trish?

Welcome back.

Hope I'm not intruding.

Not at all. Roger was
just asking for a redo

of his redo.

Sounds about right.

So, uh, how's the new job going?

Wait, um, he just
asked me about my life.

Very thoughtful.

Ooh.

Nice belly button ring.

Oh, thanks. I want to get a tattoo.

I've got a great guy down on Sunset.

- Let me know when you're ready.
- Ah...

Nice.

Ah, out, out, out, out, out.

There goes family dinner.

Hey, now is not a good time.

If you got something to say to me,

wait till tomorrow, okay?

Or, hey, why don't you pick up
a phone like a normal person?

Sure thing. I'll see you tomorrow.

Hey, wait, wait, wait.

Since you're here, what?

Well, I had a conversation
with one Gordon Barnes

and, uh, I don't think he did it.

And... what is it that

makes you think he didn't do it, Riggs?

Did he recant?

- No. I looked at his face.
- His face.

That's not a face of a man
who wanted to k*ll Tito Flores.

This. This is the face of a man
who wants to k*ll Tito Flores.

And what am I supposed to
do with that, Riggs? Huh?

If he didn't do it, I'm still suspended.

Well, if I was your partner,

I'd tell you to go find the real k*ller.

If I was your friend...

tell you go back inside
and be with your family.

Well, are you?

Your partner?

No. My friend.

I probably wouldn't be here if I wasn't.

Doghouse.

This is what we in the
robbery/homicide business

call an airtight case.

Signed confession.

Mexico's largest cartel
is now leaderless.

Now, yes, Murtaugh and Riggs

should be reinstated,
but I'm thinking bigger.

I'm thinking commendation.

Raul Mendez,

Tito's second in command and att*ck dog.

Within hours of Tito's death,

he'd assumed control.

So, the Flores Cartel
is business as usual.

Hmm.

Why don't we start with
reinstatement and go from there?

Please.

What do you mean he didn't do it?

Riggs said he looked Barnes in
the eyes and he didn't do it.

The eyes?

I was this close
to getting you reinstated.

Now you want me to go back in there

and tell them we don't have a suspect?

Technically speaking, Murtaugh and Riggs

- are the suspects.
- I don't want to say it again.

We did not k*ll Tito Flores.

Honestly, at this point,
it'd be easier if you had.

We've been over it a hundred times.

I-I know, I know.

Just-just tell him what you,
uh, what you told me.

I picked the trunk lock.

I sh*t Tito. I walked away.

I got chills.

It's as if I was there.

One sh*t.

Total pro.

I'd have hosed his ass down,
Sonny Corleone style.

Because I'm a nervous guy.

You know, I-I-I wouldn't
be able to control myself.

Yeah, well, one sh*t was plenty.

Huh. You know, funny...

we found two b*ll*ts

in Tito's skull.

I have a thought.

Hmm? May I pitch?

Oh, please, please, please.

Another k*ller

showed up after you left and sh*t Tito

in the exact same spot
with the exact same

caliber b*llet and then he leaves.

I... maybe-maybe I sh*t twice.

I don't, I don't remember.

It happened so fast.

See, I don't buy that. Right?

If I k*lled Tito Flores,
I'd have played it

over and over and over in my head

like my favorite country ballad.

I k*lled Tito Flores!

Not a bad name for your song.

Dead...

- I got to write this down.
- Yeah, I like it.

Well, let's fill out the paperwork first

- and get him released. That'll be...
- Wait.

If I admit I'm innocent, will
you promise not to let me out?

Now, this is a story
that I'd like to hear.

I know Tito's number two, Raul Mendez.

Sometimes I'd take some cash
from him at the border,

let a truck through.

It was harmless stuff.

When my sister called me

to tell me that Tito's
body was in a trunk

on this side of the border,

I figured I could get
on Raul's good side.

But Raul didn't want him back.

Raul k*lled Tito.

And then he went after
my sister and he told me

that if I didn't confess,
he was gonna k*ll her, too.

So, what, you go to jail

and he pinky swears that he's
not gonna k*ll your sister?

You're a very trusting man.

I have an insurance policy.

Proof.

Proof that he did it.

I recorded the phone call with Raul.

So, that's your plan, huh?

You're just gonna blow up Raul.

Yup.

Since you tossed my last grenade,

I got to stock up.

Hey, Monty, you got any RPGs?

For you or Murtaugh?

You honestly think

I'd trust this man
with a rocket launcher?

Third aisle, third shelf,

confiscated from a meth
dealer in Hawthorne.

My man.

So, you're going down to Mexico

and you're gonna start a w*r?

No, I'm gonna finish one.

This is not an RPG.

It's an M-72. Monty.

Okay, let's say you go down
there and you're successful

in this little su1c1de mission.

You take Raul out.

Someone else is just gonna
step up and take his place.

Then I'll take him out.

You can't because

you just went on a su1c1de mission,

or do you not understand

the meaning of those words?

That's a really good point.

Okay.

Then you'll have to k*ll him. Deal?

Pinky swear.

Look, Riggs, the only way to do this

is to take out the entire cartel.

Oh, what a great idea.

- Why didn't I think of that?
- I'm serious.

We take out the whole operation,
but we do it the right way.

And how do you plan
on doing that, Roger?

Well, we're gonna need
a lot more grenades.

All right. You've got my attention.

Oh.

I'm sorry. Am I late?

I'm late, aren't I?

I knew it.

In fairness, though,

there's, like, 20 churches
in this town, first of all,

so you can see how one can

get turned... whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, guys, look,

let's not lose our heads here.

I mean, unless you have to sh**t,

in which case, then, we all will.

Lose our heads, that is.

But, hey, at least we're
in the right place, right?

Okay, I'm gonna use
this opportunity, uh,

for all those not involved
in the cartel game

to take their leave.

There we go.

Okay... first, I'd like
to say a few words.

Oh...

To the man,

the m*rder*r,

drug lord...

all-around human filth.

Yes, Tito Flores k*lled
a lot of people...

destroyed many families.

Mine included.

I'll never forget you for that.

Truth be told,

I wanted to be the one
that pulled the trigger.

But someone b*at me to it.

And that someone is here today.

Honey, I'd love to talk,
but I can't right now.

Roger,

I got your message.

So you're in Mexico with Riggs again?

Yes. I am at Tito Flores's funeral.

And from now on,
no more unilateral decisions.

I'm gonna tell you everything.

And in the spirit of sharing,

someone's here to k*ll me right now.

- I got to go. I love you.
- Ro...

Ladies and gentlemen, put your
hands together for Raul!

Come on, Raul, stand up.

Take a bow.

All right.

_

_

_

My-My Spanish is a little rusty.

Um, it sounds like
you're denying all this.

Raul, take credit.

Believe me, I would have loved
to have been the one to do it.

- Mm...
- Maybe I should just k*ll you right now.

That's a really good idea.

Why don't you do it like you did Tito?

Bang-bang.

Two sh*ts to the head.

Come on, let's go.

Whoo! Let's do it, Raul!

Together!

You see these people?

- Ah...
- They would die for me!

Because I am their patrón.

They will never believe you.

Oh, no, I never expected them
to believe me.

That would be silly.

They can hear it directly from you.

Hey, Rog, play that tape.

Whenever you're ready, Rog,
go for it, buddy.

We seem to be experiencing
some technical difficulties.

Let me summarize what he said
to the border patrol agent.

"You gonna tell everybody

that you're the one
that k*lled Tito, and..."

...and anyone finds out that it was me,

I'll k*ll your sister,
and I'll make you watch.

You are going to tell everybody

that you are the one that k*lled Tito.

- And if anyone finds out...
- See what I mean?

I can never get the tone right.
It sounds so much better

coming from him.

Ooh, it seems as if the
tides have turned, Raul.

Damn.

LAPD cutbacks...

You got to get me out, man.

I'll talk. I'll give you names,

shipping routes, anything you want.

I don't know, sounds like
a lot of paperwork.

Keep me alive, and I will
give you everything you need

to take out the cartel.

You drive a hard bargain, but all right.

Coming in!

Roger.

Hey, babe. Yeah, it's me again.

No, we're fine. We got our man

and we're heading back home.

Roger, what was that?

Oh, that's nothing. We're good.

R-Riggs just sh*t off a rocket launcher.

Okay, baby,

I think that's enough sharing.

So, Raul,

what did it feel like
to k*ll Tito Flores?

"Erratic. Unprofessional.

Capricious."

Just a few of the descriptors
the police commission used

in their report.

What about "unhinged"?

"Loose cannons."

- We get that one a lot.
- Although,

we did solve the m*rder.

And Raul's testimony will take down

most of the cartel's
management structure.

And that with barely a scratch.

No, you misunderstood.

That was their description of me.

See, I spent so much time
covering for you two,

they thought I was the unstable one.

No, you... you idiots... you get a pass.

The police commission
has officially approved

your reinstatement.

That is, if you want it.

Yeah, well, I have some expenses.

- Who do I send invoices to?
- Oh, no. Hell no.

Yeah, I do.

Heard you guys blew up the cartel.

Nah, just their cars.

I see you're wearing your badge again.

Well, you know, it's really, uh,

more of a fashion statement, you know.

Well, I'm glad you're back.

I like having you around.

Well, I mean, you know.
this isn't it, right?

We can, uh, meet in the break room.

Cheese Puffs on me.

I was thinking tomorrow,
my office, 8:00 a.m.

Well, what would we talk about?

IA's orders. Back on the force

means back on the couch, Riggs.

Yeah, but Tito's dead,
so, I mean, I'm cured.

If you really believe that,
you are crazier than I thought.

I know I should have came by sooner.

I, uh...

You wouldn't have been proud
of the man that I've become,

and I guess I just didn't want
you to see me that way.

I mean, truth be told, I thought
I was gonna be with you by now.

You know, that was the plan.

I guess nothing turned out
like we planned, did it?

So, I've got this new partner.

Well, he's not new, but new to you.

And don't get jealous,
but he told me the other day

that he loves me.

The guy's way too emotional.

The worst part...

he won't let me die.

So...

...you'd love him.

I'm never going to stop missing you.

I love you.

Más carnitas, anyone?

It looks really good, honey.

Yeah, that's a little marinade
that I picked up

- south of the border.
- Ah.

It's like we're there.

Yeah, good, because, uh,

I'm out of vacation days.

So this is the closest
we're gonna get for a while.

- I'm just happy you're home.
- Me, too, baby.

You have no idea what I went through.

- Mm-hmm.
- This guy had me dead to rights,

and I took a cable from a speaker wire,

and I just started to choke him out.

- Baby...
- Hmm?

In a relationship, a little mystery

goes a long way.

Hey.

Okay, uh, what did we talk about?

Okay, no embarrassing stuff.
Kissing counts.

That's Riggs.

The embarrassing stuff's
just about to start.

I brought tequila.

Ooh, something smells good.

Riggs, this is a kids' party.

I brought two bottles.

I'm surprised you even showed up.

I mean, parties are not
really your scene.

Well, Trish invited me,
and I didn't want to be rude.

And that's the only reason?

It's not because you, uh...

Didn't want to drink alone at home?

No. Because you feel something.

Feel?

I understand, Riggs.

The "L" word scares you.

No, doesn't scare me.

I-I love g*ns.

- I love my truck.
- Ooh...

- I love tequila.
- Yeah, don't forget,

a little mystery goes
a long way in relationships.
