Lethal Weapon (2016) s03e07 Episode Script
Bali
1 - Previously on Lethal Weapon - Are you CIA? You can make a difference in your life.
And for your country.
Over my left shoulder, two tables back.
His name is Victor Vasquez.
I'm gonna need you to kill him.
(GRUNTING) (SILENCED GUNSHOT) (SCREAMING) Victor! ¡Ayuda! - (PHONE RINGING) - Who's this? I'm someone who knows what you're really after.
Wes Cole.
I can give him to you.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) I should have never Loved you at all RIANA: You can't ground me.
I have a date tonight.
It was canceled by management.
Riana, did you or did you not sneak out with the car last night? My car.
And I was home by 11:00.
Yeah, with exhibit "A": Dylan's sweatshirt in the backseat.
Stop treating me like I'm on the stand.
Well, stop acting like a hostile witness.
Roger? Why aren't you more upset? Because I already fixed the situation.
Two words: women's college.
- Not funny.
- Very funny.
I'm not joking.
Aren't we all tired of having this conversation? - Mmm.
- Right? Riana, you've tried dating.
It's been a disaster.
You can try again when you're 30.
(PHONE RINGING) - Hello? - MAYA: Murtaugh? Hi, it's Maya Flynn.
Hello, Maya.
Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm looking for my dad because he was bringing me candy, sodas and Fireballs to my debate last night, but he never came.
Honey.
Who are you talking to? It's Murtaugh.
Murtaugh who? That would be Roger Murtaugh.
I'm Cole's partner.
And you must be Natalie Flynn.
I'm Maya's mom.
I'm so sorry she bothered you.
Hey, no bother.
Um, is everything okay? I am sure Cole is just being Cole, but Maya is heartbroken that he flaked.
Andrew's away and I'm at work, and so we are up a creek without a sitter.
Well, I'm sure Cole has a good excuse.
(SIGHS) Excuses were never Cole's problem.
It's just you know, I finally let him back into Maya's life and he bails? Listen, uh, my daughter Riana has no plans and would love the opportunity to babysit Maya.
Really? That would be amazing.
When I see Cole, I will tell him Tell him he's a jerk.
to give you a call.
Sure.
Improvise.
Thanks, Roger.
BAILEY: The Gute has been my partner for 14 hours and I'm already thinking irreconcilable differences.
Well, at least she shows up to work.
Cole? Totally MIA.
Radio silence.
I would kill for some peace and quiet right now.
Eh, she can't be that bad.
Not that bad? She's a wild animal.
You know, she smacks her gum, she interrupts and she has the nerve to call me (LAUGHS, CALLS OUT) - I hate her.
- You're briefing the boss without me? I wouldn't dream of it, partner.
Okay, well, someone needs to update me.
Scorsese, what do we have? Male, mid-20s.
Blood on his broken wrist show his own gun was used on him in a struggle.
So the vic tried to fight back.
Well, actually, there were several sets of male footprints dragged to the tire burns.
We're looking at an abduction.
So this guy never finished the job.
Any ID on the body? BAILEY: Not yet, but I've taken prints and photos and I'll cross-reference them at RHD.
Or we could do it the fast way, which is my way.
You can't tou SCORSESE: That's cool.
I knew it.
Mm.
Bartolo Huerta, Vasquez Cartel.
I'd recognize that butt anywhere.
What? I was undercover, we were at a wedding.
It was actually pretty beautiful, so It's unorthodox, but, u-uh, effective.
- Try "lucky.
" - And kind of gross? So who is our missing person? Oh, that I don't know.
All that was left behind was a broken phone and a bag of candy.
Well, that explains the radio silence.
What are you talking about? The Vasquez Cartel has Cole.
The whole line, huh? Impressive.
Not your first time in the chair? What's your move? Fingernails? For now.
But toenails are more debilitating.
You see? That's new.
I should've recertified.
(SCREAMS) Look, if I cut you off on the freeway, I apologize.
Oh, you're not here for me.
Well, who can I thank for this hospitality? SOFIA: Agent Cole.
- (SOFIA SCREAMING) - (SILENCED GUNSHOT) ¡Ayuda! ¡Ayuda! Sofia Vasquez.
Been a while.
15 years.
And yet, it feels like just yesterday that you murdered my husband.
Done a lot of things I'm not proud of.
I guess all I can say is I'm sorry.
(GRUNTS) No, you're not.
But you will be.
TRISH: Natalie, it's so great to meet you.
You, too.
(LAUGHS) And you must be Maya.
(SOFT LAUGHTER) - Wow, nice digs.
- Thank you.
All right, let's go pick out a game.
- Yeah.
- All right.
Well, have fun, you two.
Be good.
- MAYA: Bye.
- Bye.
(SIGHS) (LAUGHS) I really can't thank you enough for doing this.
Oh, please, are you serious? We are here to help in any way we can.
Thank you.
So have you heard from Cole? Well, can't say I'm holding my breath.
(PHONE RINGING) - It's Roger.
Hi.
- Oh.
Y-You won't believe who just arrived.
Okay.
I'll tell her.
Okay, I love you, too.
What happened? SOFIA: Have you ever loved someone? No.
Of course you haven't.
A monster like you, you can't imagine what that's like.
To make someone your whole world.
You think this hurts? You don't know what suffering is so I am going to teach you.
(SCREAMING) COLE: Is this really necessary? I told you guys, I tripped on a bullet.
Is that right? It's surprisingly rocky out there, in the Himalayas.
I'm a photographer.
Had the camera, it was just shot right out of my hands.
Mm.
They must really hate your work.
Yeah, it's the curse of the artist to be unappreciated in his own time.
And to be target practice, apparently.
COLE: Ouch! Ow.
(GASPS) Oh, no, they said they numbed you.
Did they not? Did you feel that? - Did I just - No.
No, no, no.
It it was a bad joke.
You have a very steady hand.
Okay.
Now I know you're lying.
So what do you think, Doc? Am I gonna make it? Looks like today's your lucky day.
I was just gonna say that.
(COLE SCREAMING) BAILEY: Here's what we know.
The time of death of the body means Cole was taken around 7:00 p.
m.
, but the traffic cam has his car heading north on Route 14 late last night.
Okay, I'll put in a call to all the local departments.
In the meantime, put out a statewide BOLO.
You're not serious.
A BOLO? - That's it? - Who are you? Louie Gutierrez, Robbery-Homicide.
You don't say.
Pleasure.
- Is it? - Look, I know these Vasquez goons.
Let me shake some trees, see if somebody squeals about a safe house.
The Gute likes to shake things.
Fine, go.
Both of you.
Who hired the new detective? Not me.
Why don't you ask Murtaugh when he's done chatting it up with the CIA? Who do we know at the CIA? (DOOR BELLS TINKLE) Detective.
Have a seat.
You hungry? Hungry? Did you get my messages? Yeah, all three.
Just a little melodramatic.
Sofia Vasquez has my partner.
I don't know why she took him, or what she's doing with him, but we're running out of time.
Come on, man.
Calm down.
Relax.
All right? It's only been 16 hours.
Now how the hell would you know that? When Sofia showed up to the buy, I knew it wasn't about an ops list.
Come on.
You kidding me? No.
This was about him.
So you sold him out? No, I put my best guy in.
He can handle himself, and now, with any luck, he'll handle her, too.
Is this what you do? You throw away the people that you care about? We're all expendable.
Cole knows that, all right? Those are the rules.
Not mine.
(GRUNTS) We'll work on their bedside manners.
I don't think you realize the gravity of your situation, Cole.
Sure I do.
You're gonna put a bullet in my brain.
No.
I'm not.
(COLE GRUNTS) No.
(GRUNTING) No.
Easy, detective.
If you panic, you'll only suffocate faster.
No.
(SCREAMING) No! No! No! (SIRENS WAILING) MURTAUGH: That's Cole's car.
The Gute's intel is correct.
He's here.
OFFICER: Exit team, on me! (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) Go, go, go! Move! Move! Let's go! All clear! OFFICER: Looks like this place is locked down already.
Too late.
(PHONE RINGING) Hey.
MAYA: Murtaugh.
Have you found my dad yet? Not yet, sweetie, but we're working on it.
(LIGHTER CLICKING) (SIGHS) (STRAINING) (GRUNTING) You left him for dead.
So you brought me down here so I can see you throw a little tantrum? No, to see this.
We found his fingernails.
You said he'd be all right.
You said he could handle this.
Well, the Cole I knew would've.
Well, the Cole I know is in trouble because of you, and I need you to help me get him back.
I cannot operate stateside.
Since when has that stopped you? Okay, look, there may be another way.
I'm listening.
Benny Avila, he's a business associate of Sofia's.
Your boys arrested him for assault this morning.
He's in a holding cell downstairs.
And? And I'm sure he'd like to avoid a 20-year sentence.
I mean, he's got quite the record, but he's connected.
You let him out, he can find Cole.
I'm supposed to just walk a felon out of jail and hope that he gives me good information? You got a better idea? Where you taking me? - Depends.
- On? Whether you tell me where Sofia Vasquez is.
I need to find her.
Nah.
Can't help you there.
Hey, don't sell yourself so short, Benny.
Why would I help a cop? Because if you do, those cuffs come off and you walk away a free man.
How do I know you're not just gonna arrest me again? (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) I guess we're just gonna have to trust each other aren't we? Is everything okay? Look, I know there are certain things you can't tell me.
Like? Like, I know you're not really a photojournalist, and I can accept that, but I need to know if this is real.
Us.
This is very real.
Is that what you were worried about? Partly.
Uh, the other part that, um, I should probably tell you is that, um, I'm just a little, uh pregnant.
Crap.
Too real? This is just a fling, isn't it? - Oh, my God.
- No, no.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
This is not a fling.
Okay? You can't rid of me that easy.
You're not shocked? I'm excited.
- Never had one of these before.
- A baby? (LAUGHING): Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, and a home.
Just the whole picture, you know? Hell, let's just go to Bali.
Well, there is plenty of time for all of that.
Do you maybe want to head in for the night? - I want to head in for the night.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Well, let me get my things.
NATALIE: I should be handling this better.
I run an ER.
I am great under pressure.
And I'm not even with him anymore.
With him or not, you have a cop in your life now.
And it's hard to be the one waiting by the phone, even if it's just for Maya's sake.
(SIGHS) If there is one thing I know, Roger will move heaven and earth to bring Cole back alive.
You lost? Must've made a wrong turn.
Can you help me find the beach? Yeah.
Turn around.
Go back where you came from.
I would, but, uh, I'm supposed to meet my partner.
About yea high, dirty blond, perfectly chiseled scruff? I'm worried.
Fool forgot his sunscreen.
Eulogy was real nice.
I'll do the same for you.
(GUNSHOTS) Help! Help! (MUFFLED): Help! Help! Cole! MURTAUGH (MUFFLED): Cole! (STRAINED BREATHING) (GASPING) - Cole! - (COUGHING) Did I die? You really think mine's the first face you'd see? Good point.
(LAUGHS) AVERY: How's he holding up? MURTAUGH: He is feeling no pain.
They got him sedated, and those broken ribs ought to heal up real soon.
You know, the doctors said that if I was five minutes later, he wouldn't have made it.
Thank God you found him.
Tell me again how you did that.
Stars lined up, Cap.
- (PHONE RINGING) - Huh.
Department's running a manhunt on Sofia.
Bailey, any news? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down.
Benny Avila? Well, he can't just be gone.
It's probably a clerical error.
Fine.
- Something wrong at the precinct? - Yeah.
I leave for a week and the inmates are running the asylum.
Losing people.
Hiring people.
Who's the Gute? Well, you better get down there.
I'll stay with, uh, Cole, see if he says anything when he wakes up.
All right.
Hi.
Hi, you must be Roger Murtaugh.
For better or worse.
Definitely for the better.
Thank you for everything you did.
I can't believe I was angry at him.
Hey.
None of that.
Cole's fine, okay? Nothing a good manicure can't fix.
Well, he's needed one of those for years.
- (LAUGHING): Right.
- (CHUCKLES) Hey, why don't you take the chair - and I'll go get us some coffee? - Thank you.
(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY) What are you doing tonight? 'Cause I got us some tickets.
There's a flight.
We're gonna sneak away.
You're dreaming.
You're pretty.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, Romeo.
I am cutting you off.
We'll be so happy.
You can be a doctor.
And I will I've got skills.
I can fish.
There are so many fish in Bali.
And monkeys.
Our baby's gonna be so happy.
And you're gonna be so happy because I love you.
That's all there is now.
Bali was just a fantasy.
RIANA: Oh, so close Oh! (LAUGHS) Sorry, guess I'm just distracted.
You worrying about your dad? Just wondering when I'm gonna see him.
I'm sure you will soon.
And in the meantime, you have to focus on the good news; like that he's okay.
And if that doesn't work? Rom-come.
And ice cream.
Straight out of the carton.
Never fails.
Here, you pick the movie.
All right.
It's sweet how you're helping Maya.
And you're eavesdropping.
(CHUCKLES) - She's a good kid.
- And so are you.
You know, seeing you help her, it's, it's Makes me proud.
So proud that I can maybe take the car tomorrow? See Dylan? Not a chance.
What? Why not? You were just praising my maturity.
Well, it's called positive reinforcement.
One day does not wipe the slate clean, Riana.
Sure it does.
It's called "time off for good behavior.
" (LAUGHS) Don't push your luck.
The sentence can get even worse.
(GIGGLES) I love you.
(GROANS) So infuriating.
I brought you some coffee, but I sense you're already caffeinated.
Not even fully conscious and that man makes me crazy.
He just said he loves me.
Is that bad? Was that Is that bad? - It's so bad! It's very bad.
- Yeah.
I live with someone.
I am with someone.
And, you know, I waited for him.
No.
Doesn't matter.
Ancient history.
It is.
I believe you.
Till you said that.
(SIGHS) He's always made me crazy.
A few months together, and I actually believed that we would just run off and raise this kid and have this whole life.
Did he leave? He never even showed.
He chose work and I got on a plane.
Oh, there I go venting to you again.
What is that about? I got one of those faces.
Very symmetrical.
- Huh.
- Puts people at ease.
- (CHUCKLES) Well.
- (PHONE RINGING) Oh.
This is Maya.
I have to take it.
You guys talking crap about me? Little bit.
You're a good partner, Roger.
You found me.
How'd you do that? I just did what I had to do, Cole.
You went to Barnes.
What if I did? Then we got hell to pay.
Buy you a drink? - Do I know you? - You should.
I'm the guy who got you out of jail.
What do you want from me? (LAUGHS) You finish your drink and then I'm gonna need you to kill someone.
AVERY: I hear you, Chief Yes, sir, I-I don't know how that could have happened.
Yes, sir.
Yes Oh, he's back from the grave.
- (CLAPPING, WHOOPS) - SCORSESE: Is it true that you dug yourself out of the earth with your own fingertips? Oh, that's, like, Tarantino-level badass.
Look, guys, let's, uh, give him his space.
- Yeah, later.
- Okay.
What the hell are you doing here? Did you get discharged? Not in so many words.
What? You just pulled the tubes out - and left? Cole, you - Last night.
- What? - Did you say that you went to Barnes? Please tell me that I'm remembering it wrong.
I really wish I could.
(SOFTLY): No.
What did he have you do? That doesn't matter.
What matters is you're back.
It does matter; this is how Barnes works.
You have no idea what you've set in motion.
What did he want? W-What were his terms? AVERY: Can someone explain to me how a handcuffed, two-time felon just walks out of RHD? Where's Benny Avila, people? Find him before the chief calls me back.
- That means now.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Who's Benny Avila? He's a drug trafficker.
Criminal, you know BAILEY: An ex-lieutenant of the Vasquez Cartel.
GUTE: Your friend Sofia dropped a dime on him, landed his ass in jail.
Do we still have Sofia's guy in custody? Yeah.
Unless he walked out, too.
Let's start squeezing him.
We find out where Sofia is, we find Benny.
How do you know? Hey, the man was buried alive.
Less doubting, more squeezing.
That's why Barnes wanted him out.
He's gonna kill Sofia, make Benny king.
- I got to come clean with Avery.
- Absolutely not.
You do that, you can enjoy your retirement in jail.
This is all my doing.
You did it for me.
Let's find Benny before he does anything.
I'm not gonna let Barnes ruin your life, too.
You think you can ask that with a little less judgment? No, no, no, no.
There was no judgment.
It was a genuine question.
Do you want to do this my way or your way? Right there.
That's judgment.
My way being speedy, your way being slow, methodical, reasoned.
What's the problem, Gute? Other than a partner who can barely contain her hostility, I don't know.
Oh, I'm not the hostile one.
You punched me in the face the first time we met.
Tell you what, if you can get Sofia's location out of Flaco in three minutes, I'll give you one free shot.
Be right here.
Three minutes? All right.
- Mm-hmm.
SÃ.
- Okay, I got it.
- Yeah.
I know.
- Okay.
BAILEY: Uh-huh.
Don't get up, Mr.
Flaco.
This won't take longer than three minutes.
(CAR DOORS OPEN) You said, "Let's find Benny.
" Figure of speech.
As in the two of us, together.
What I meant was, let me handle this.
The best thing you can do is stay far away from this mess.
You took care of my family.
Let me take care of yours.
MAYA: Mom, let's go! Dad's here! Dad! Oh, careful, honey.
- Your dad is - No, no, no.
It's fine.
Hug away.
Are you sure? You think they'd let me out of the hospital if I wasn't okay? I was worried about you.
You know what's good for worry? - (LAUGHS): Candy? - Candy.
- (GIGGLING) - That's my girl.
Maya, could you give me and Dad a minute? - Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.
(LAUGHS) (PHONE RINGING) Hey, Bailey.
What's up? I may have a location on Sofia.
Damn speedy, Bailey.
Enhanced interrogation.
Do I need to worry? Not about the suspect.
COLE: I self-discharged.
Who knows my body better than me? Definitely not trained doctors.
Speaking of hospital-grade painkillers you said some things last night that were hard to hear.
About your haircut? My haircut? What? No.
You didn't get a haircut? You really don't remember anything we talked about last night? Maybe it'll come back to me.
Well, if it does we should talk.
(LAUGHS) 77 Lakeview Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks.
Flaco gave up an address for Sofia.
And I'm coming with.
Roger, we talked about this.
(SNORTS) Yeah, I know.
I shouldn't be anywhere near this mess, but the thing is, this is my mess to clean up.
But it's not.
This started way before you, with Barnes.
I let Benny go.
You're really digging in on this.
Yeah, and you know why? Because this is you shooting out my tires again so that I can't follow you, and What are you doing? Writing an apology note.
- To who? - To you.
(CHUCKLES): For what? For this.
I got you.
Take a little nap, buddy.
Sorry, Roger.
Hey.
I need to see you.
I know I'm grounded, Dylan.
Okay, see you in a minute.
(ENGINE STARTS) (RADIO PLAYING FAINTLY) Hey.
Whoa, whoa.
I'm impressed.
(RIANA LAUGHS) - You snuck out.
- RIANA: I did.
My parents are driving me insane.
Damn, I'm sorry, Ri.
DYLAN: What'd they do now? RIANA: Let's see.
My mom constantly lawyers me, my dad can't seem to leave his bad cop act at the office.
DYLAN: That is so unfair.
They're just so critical.
I mean, I did something nice today, and my mom was actually surprised.
They just don't appreciate how good they have it.
And how perfect you are.
RIANA: I mean, it's not like I want to be a bad kid, you know? Mm-hmm.
Are you trying to kiss me? God, you weren't even listening.
Ah! Get your hands off my daughter.
- Holy crap.
- Dad, what are you doing here? I'm watching.
Always watching.
Now get out.
I'm taking the car.
Come on, get out the car! (INSECTS TRILLING) (TIRES SCREECH) (GUNFIRE, MEN SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (GUN CLICKS) - Shh! - (MUFFLED SCREAMING) Ow! Ugh What is it with you and hands? Sofia, I'm not here to kill you.
Okay? Benny Avila is.
Benny Avila's in prison.
No, he's here.
He's staging a coup with the CIA's blessing.
Why would you want to save me? COLE: Because if he kills you, my partner goes down.
No! (SHOUTS) Either you come downtown with me, or you stay here and Benny kills you.
Get me out of here now.
(COLE GRUNTS) (GUNSHOTS IN DISTANCE) Come on.
I'll catch you.
Sofia, you have to trust me.
You killed my husband.
Yes.
I did.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING) (BENNY GROANS) Benny! - Remember me? - We had a deal.
Yes, we did.
And I'm a man of my word.
(GRUNTS) Of course, possession's another charge.
Hey, Roger.
What took you so long? Some smart-ass stole my car.
Hmm.
TRISH: Are you trying to get in trouble? Mom, I You waltzed in at 12:30 last night.
I needed some fresh air.
Okay, well, at this point, you're lucky that room of yours has a window.
- One week just became four.
- Wait.
You can't ground me when I'm already grounded.
Like, isn't that some kind of double jeopardy? Sorry.
Separate charges.
- You guys started without me? - Yeah.
Glad you're up.
Maybe you can get through to your daughter.
Dad, please.
She's trying to ground me for a month.
Riana, your mother has every right to be disappointed.
Thank you, baby.
MURTAUGH: That being said, a month is a bit harsh.
Thank you, Daddy.
Provided we see some changes in your dating habits.
I already ended things with Dylan.
He's a terrible listener.
What do you say, Counselor? Two weeks? Mm-hmm.
So, you gonna tell me what happened last night? I plead the fifth.
Got to say, I liked it better when we were working together.
You want your job back? I'd rather be buried alive.
And that's speaking from experience, thanks to you.
Look, I'm sorry about that, all right? But the Wesley I know wouldn't have let it get that far.
That guy doesn't exist anymore.
It's amusing that you think that.
I gave up everything that mattered to me because of you.
My family.
That's not gonna happen anymore.
I mean, people come and go, Wes.
Duty is all that matters.
Not anymore.
You mess with my partner again, and I'll kill you.
You're not the man I thought you were.
That's the nicest thing you ever said to me.
GUTE: You asked to see me, Cap? Gute.
Is it Gute or the Gute? Whichever.
I'm fine, whatever.
I just wanted to officially welcome you aboard.
Seems like you and Bailey really hit your stride - on the Vasquez case.
- Yeah, you could say that.
Did you hear we found Benny Avila? News to me.
Where was he? Second stall, second floor bathroom.
I walked in, opened the door, there he was.
- That's crazy.
- Isn't it? Crazy, right? I mean, I He says he had been hiding in there all night, but that's a lie, because just two hours earlier, I was in that very same stall.
Everything okay? It's almost like someone put him exactly where they knew I would find him.
Someone with, say, insight into my stall preferences.
Don't look at me.
I'm new here, so True.
And you want to start off on the right foot.
Course.
So is there anything you want to tell me? No.
You're not covering for anyone? Murtaugh, maybe? Listen, I don't know how he got there.
Head injury and all.
But I think I know what you're saying, Cap.
- You do? - Mm-hmm.
Stay away from stall two, right? Yeah.
Will do.
("SUCH A SIMPLE THING" BY RAY LAMONTAGNE PLAYING) Hey.
What are you doing here? Tell me what you're feeling The other night you said that Bali was a fantasy.
It wasn't.
I can take the pain It was real for me.
I had my bags packed, and I was ready to go.
Cole, what is this? I know you think that I-I chose work over us, but it wasn't that simple.
I wasn't supposed to have any attachments.
Could've been dangerous.
Tell me what your heart wants I had to protect you from that.
I had to protect you because I loved you.
(EXHALES) I've always loved you.
- I still love you.
- Wow.
Your timing is I-I can't do this.
Yours is like a flame Andrew works here.
I just can't.
Nat, wait.
I can't make you see - Hey.
- Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
If you don't by now How could you? I, uh How could you say this to me now? When I am finally happy with somebody else.
Where were you 13 years ago? I waited for you at that airport, hoping you would show.
- I'm sorry.
- Where were you five years ago? Cole, I was still waiting.
I should have never let you go.
But you did.
Can't you see how much you hurt me? I have made so many mistakes.
It's like I wasn't there Should've thrown it all away for you.
For us.
Give me a chance.
I can't make you see If you don't by now (PHONE RINGING) I'll get through these chains Maya, what's happening? MAYA: Murtaugh, hey.
Just checking in to see how my dad was doing.
Somehow Wow.
That just happened.
Yeah.
I should go.
I'd say he's doing just fine.
And for your country.
Over my left shoulder, two tables back.
His name is Victor Vasquez.
I'm gonna need you to kill him.
(GRUNTING) (SILENCED GUNSHOT) (SCREAMING) Victor! ¡Ayuda! - (PHONE RINGING) - Who's this? I'm someone who knows what you're really after.
Wes Cole.
I can give him to you.
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES) I should have never Loved you at all RIANA: You can't ground me.
I have a date tonight.
It was canceled by management.
Riana, did you or did you not sneak out with the car last night? My car.
And I was home by 11:00.
Yeah, with exhibit "A": Dylan's sweatshirt in the backseat.
Stop treating me like I'm on the stand.
Well, stop acting like a hostile witness.
Roger? Why aren't you more upset? Because I already fixed the situation.
Two words: women's college.
- Not funny.
- Very funny.
I'm not joking.
Aren't we all tired of having this conversation? - Mmm.
- Right? Riana, you've tried dating.
It's been a disaster.
You can try again when you're 30.
(PHONE RINGING) - Hello? - MAYA: Murtaugh? Hi, it's Maya Flynn.
Hello, Maya.
Is everything okay? Yeah, I'm looking for my dad because he was bringing me candy, sodas and Fireballs to my debate last night, but he never came.
Honey.
Who are you talking to? It's Murtaugh.
Murtaugh who? That would be Roger Murtaugh.
I'm Cole's partner.
And you must be Natalie Flynn.
I'm Maya's mom.
I'm so sorry she bothered you.
Hey, no bother.
Um, is everything okay? I am sure Cole is just being Cole, but Maya is heartbroken that he flaked.
Andrew's away and I'm at work, and so we are up a creek without a sitter.
Well, I'm sure Cole has a good excuse.
(SIGHS) Excuses were never Cole's problem.
It's just you know, I finally let him back into Maya's life and he bails? Listen, uh, my daughter Riana has no plans and would love the opportunity to babysit Maya.
Really? That would be amazing.
When I see Cole, I will tell him Tell him he's a jerk.
to give you a call.
Sure.
Improvise.
Thanks, Roger.
BAILEY: The Gute has been my partner for 14 hours and I'm already thinking irreconcilable differences.
Well, at least she shows up to work.
Cole? Totally MIA.
Radio silence.
I would kill for some peace and quiet right now.
Eh, she can't be that bad.
Not that bad? She's a wild animal.
You know, she smacks her gum, she interrupts and she has the nerve to call me (LAUGHS, CALLS OUT) - I hate her.
- You're briefing the boss without me? I wouldn't dream of it, partner.
Okay, well, someone needs to update me.
Scorsese, what do we have? Male, mid-20s.
Blood on his broken wrist show his own gun was used on him in a struggle.
So the vic tried to fight back.
Well, actually, there were several sets of male footprints dragged to the tire burns.
We're looking at an abduction.
So this guy never finished the job.
Any ID on the body? BAILEY: Not yet, but I've taken prints and photos and I'll cross-reference them at RHD.
Or we could do it the fast way, which is my way.
You can't tou SCORSESE: That's cool.
I knew it.
Mm.
Bartolo Huerta, Vasquez Cartel.
I'd recognize that butt anywhere.
What? I was undercover, we were at a wedding.
It was actually pretty beautiful, so It's unorthodox, but, u-uh, effective.
- Try "lucky.
" - And kind of gross? So who is our missing person? Oh, that I don't know.
All that was left behind was a broken phone and a bag of candy.
Well, that explains the radio silence.
What are you talking about? The Vasquez Cartel has Cole.
The whole line, huh? Impressive.
Not your first time in the chair? What's your move? Fingernails? For now.
But toenails are more debilitating.
You see? That's new.
I should've recertified.
(SCREAMS) Look, if I cut you off on the freeway, I apologize.
Oh, you're not here for me.
Well, who can I thank for this hospitality? SOFIA: Agent Cole.
- (SOFIA SCREAMING) - (SILENCED GUNSHOT) ¡Ayuda! ¡Ayuda! Sofia Vasquez.
Been a while.
15 years.
And yet, it feels like just yesterday that you murdered my husband.
Done a lot of things I'm not proud of.
I guess all I can say is I'm sorry.
(GRUNTS) No, you're not.
But you will be.
TRISH: Natalie, it's so great to meet you.
You, too.
(LAUGHS) And you must be Maya.
(SOFT LAUGHTER) - Wow, nice digs.
- Thank you.
All right, let's go pick out a game.
- Yeah.
- All right.
Well, have fun, you two.
Be good.
- MAYA: Bye.
- Bye.
(SIGHS) (LAUGHS) I really can't thank you enough for doing this.
Oh, please, are you serious? We are here to help in any way we can.
Thank you.
So have you heard from Cole? Well, can't say I'm holding my breath.
(PHONE RINGING) - It's Roger.
Hi.
- Oh.
Y-You won't believe who just arrived.
Okay.
I'll tell her.
Okay, I love you, too.
What happened? SOFIA: Have you ever loved someone? No.
Of course you haven't.
A monster like you, you can't imagine what that's like.
To make someone your whole world.
You think this hurts? You don't know what suffering is so I am going to teach you.
(SCREAMING) COLE: Is this really necessary? I told you guys, I tripped on a bullet.
Is that right? It's surprisingly rocky out there, in the Himalayas.
I'm a photographer.
Had the camera, it was just shot right out of my hands.
Mm.
They must really hate your work.
Yeah, it's the curse of the artist to be unappreciated in his own time.
And to be target practice, apparently.
COLE: Ouch! Ow.
(GASPS) Oh, no, they said they numbed you.
Did they not? Did you feel that? - Did I just - No.
No, no, no.
It it was a bad joke.
You have a very steady hand.
Okay.
Now I know you're lying.
So what do you think, Doc? Am I gonna make it? Looks like today's your lucky day.
I was just gonna say that.
(COLE SCREAMING) BAILEY: Here's what we know.
The time of death of the body means Cole was taken around 7:00 p.
m.
, but the traffic cam has his car heading north on Route 14 late last night.
Okay, I'll put in a call to all the local departments.
In the meantime, put out a statewide BOLO.
You're not serious.
A BOLO? - That's it? - Who are you? Louie Gutierrez, Robbery-Homicide.
You don't say.
Pleasure.
- Is it? - Look, I know these Vasquez goons.
Let me shake some trees, see if somebody squeals about a safe house.
The Gute likes to shake things.
Fine, go.
Both of you.
Who hired the new detective? Not me.
Why don't you ask Murtaugh when he's done chatting it up with the CIA? Who do we know at the CIA? (DOOR BELLS TINKLE) Detective.
Have a seat.
You hungry? Hungry? Did you get my messages? Yeah, all three.
Just a little melodramatic.
Sofia Vasquez has my partner.
I don't know why she took him, or what she's doing with him, but we're running out of time.
Come on, man.
Calm down.
Relax.
All right? It's only been 16 hours.
Now how the hell would you know that? When Sofia showed up to the buy, I knew it wasn't about an ops list.
Come on.
You kidding me? No.
This was about him.
So you sold him out? No, I put my best guy in.
He can handle himself, and now, with any luck, he'll handle her, too.
Is this what you do? You throw away the people that you care about? We're all expendable.
Cole knows that, all right? Those are the rules.
Not mine.
(GRUNTS) We'll work on their bedside manners.
I don't think you realize the gravity of your situation, Cole.
Sure I do.
You're gonna put a bullet in my brain.
No.
I'm not.
(COLE GRUNTS) No.
(GRUNTING) No.
Easy, detective.
If you panic, you'll only suffocate faster.
No.
(SCREAMING) No! No! No! (SIRENS WAILING) MURTAUGH: That's Cole's car.
The Gute's intel is correct.
He's here.
OFFICER: Exit team, on me! (INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER) Go, go, go! Move! Move! Let's go! All clear! OFFICER: Looks like this place is locked down already.
Too late.
(PHONE RINGING) Hey.
MAYA: Murtaugh.
Have you found my dad yet? Not yet, sweetie, but we're working on it.
(LIGHTER CLICKING) (SIGHS) (STRAINING) (GRUNTING) You left him for dead.
So you brought me down here so I can see you throw a little tantrum? No, to see this.
We found his fingernails.
You said he'd be all right.
You said he could handle this.
Well, the Cole I knew would've.
Well, the Cole I know is in trouble because of you, and I need you to help me get him back.
I cannot operate stateside.
Since when has that stopped you? Okay, look, there may be another way.
I'm listening.
Benny Avila, he's a business associate of Sofia's.
Your boys arrested him for assault this morning.
He's in a holding cell downstairs.
And? And I'm sure he'd like to avoid a 20-year sentence.
I mean, he's got quite the record, but he's connected.
You let him out, he can find Cole.
I'm supposed to just walk a felon out of jail and hope that he gives me good information? You got a better idea? Where you taking me? - Depends.
- On? Whether you tell me where Sofia Vasquez is.
I need to find her.
Nah.
Can't help you there.
Hey, don't sell yourself so short, Benny.
Why would I help a cop? Because if you do, those cuffs come off and you walk away a free man.
How do I know you're not just gonna arrest me again? (ELEVATOR BELL DINGS) I guess we're just gonna have to trust each other aren't we? Is everything okay? Look, I know there are certain things you can't tell me.
Like? Like, I know you're not really a photojournalist, and I can accept that, but I need to know if this is real.
Us.
This is very real.
Is that what you were worried about? Partly.
Uh, the other part that, um, I should probably tell you is that, um, I'm just a little, uh pregnant.
Crap.
Too real? This is just a fling, isn't it? - Oh, my God.
- No, no.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hey.
This is not a fling.
Okay? You can't rid of me that easy.
You're not shocked? I'm excited.
- Never had one of these before.
- A baby? (LAUGHING): Yeah, me neither.
Yeah, and a home.
Just the whole picture, you know? Hell, let's just go to Bali.
Well, there is plenty of time for all of that.
Do you maybe want to head in for the night? - I want to head in for the night.
- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Well, let me get my things.
NATALIE: I should be handling this better.
I run an ER.
I am great under pressure.
And I'm not even with him anymore.
With him or not, you have a cop in your life now.
And it's hard to be the one waiting by the phone, even if it's just for Maya's sake.
(SIGHS) If there is one thing I know, Roger will move heaven and earth to bring Cole back alive.
You lost? Must've made a wrong turn.
Can you help me find the beach? Yeah.
Turn around.
Go back where you came from.
I would, but, uh, I'm supposed to meet my partner.
About yea high, dirty blond, perfectly chiseled scruff? I'm worried.
Fool forgot his sunscreen.
Eulogy was real nice.
I'll do the same for you.
(GUNSHOTS) Help! Help! (MUFFLED): Help! Help! Cole! MURTAUGH (MUFFLED): Cole! (STRAINED BREATHING) (GASPING) - Cole! - (COUGHING) Did I die? You really think mine's the first face you'd see? Good point.
(LAUGHS) AVERY: How's he holding up? MURTAUGH: He is feeling no pain.
They got him sedated, and those broken ribs ought to heal up real soon.
You know, the doctors said that if I was five minutes later, he wouldn't have made it.
Thank God you found him.
Tell me again how you did that.
Stars lined up, Cap.
- (PHONE RINGING) - Huh.
Department's running a manhunt on Sofia.
Bailey, any news? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Slow down.
Benny Avila? Well, he can't just be gone.
It's probably a clerical error.
Fine.
- Something wrong at the precinct? - Yeah.
I leave for a week and the inmates are running the asylum.
Losing people.
Hiring people.
Who's the Gute? Well, you better get down there.
I'll stay with, uh, Cole, see if he says anything when he wakes up.
All right.
Hi.
Hi, you must be Roger Murtaugh.
For better or worse.
Definitely for the better.
Thank you for everything you did.
I can't believe I was angry at him.
Hey.
None of that.
Cole's fine, okay? Nothing a good manicure can't fix.
Well, he's needed one of those for years.
- (LAUGHING): Right.
- (CHUCKLES) Hey, why don't you take the chair - and I'll go get us some coffee? - Thank you.
(MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY) What are you doing tonight? 'Cause I got us some tickets.
There's a flight.
We're gonna sneak away.
You're dreaming.
You're pretty.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, Romeo.
I am cutting you off.
We'll be so happy.
You can be a doctor.
And I will I've got skills.
I can fish.
There are so many fish in Bali.
And monkeys.
Our baby's gonna be so happy.
And you're gonna be so happy because I love you.
That's all there is now.
Bali was just a fantasy.
RIANA: Oh, so close Oh! (LAUGHS) Sorry, guess I'm just distracted.
You worrying about your dad? Just wondering when I'm gonna see him.
I'm sure you will soon.
And in the meantime, you have to focus on the good news; like that he's okay.
And if that doesn't work? Rom-come.
And ice cream.
Straight out of the carton.
Never fails.
Here, you pick the movie.
All right.
It's sweet how you're helping Maya.
And you're eavesdropping.
(CHUCKLES) - She's a good kid.
- And so are you.
You know, seeing you help her, it's, it's Makes me proud.
So proud that I can maybe take the car tomorrow? See Dylan? Not a chance.
What? Why not? You were just praising my maturity.
Well, it's called positive reinforcement.
One day does not wipe the slate clean, Riana.
Sure it does.
It's called "time off for good behavior.
" (LAUGHS) Don't push your luck.
The sentence can get even worse.
(GIGGLES) I love you.
(GROANS) So infuriating.
I brought you some coffee, but I sense you're already caffeinated.
Not even fully conscious and that man makes me crazy.
He just said he loves me.
Is that bad? Was that Is that bad? - It's so bad! It's very bad.
- Yeah.
I live with someone.
I am with someone.
And, you know, I waited for him.
No.
Doesn't matter.
Ancient history.
It is.
I believe you.
Till you said that.
(SIGHS) He's always made me crazy.
A few months together, and I actually believed that we would just run off and raise this kid and have this whole life.
Did he leave? He never even showed.
He chose work and I got on a plane.
Oh, there I go venting to you again.
What is that about? I got one of those faces.
Very symmetrical.
- Huh.
- Puts people at ease.
- (CHUCKLES) Well.
- (PHONE RINGING) Oh.
This is Maya.
I have to take it.
You guys talking crap about me? Little bit.
You're a good partner, Roger.
You found me.
How'd you do that? I just did what I had to do, Cole.
You went to Barnes.
What if I did? Then we got hell to pay.
Buy you a drink? - Do I know you? - You should.
I'm the guy who got you out of jail.
What do you want from me? (LAUGHS) You finish your drink and then I'm gonna need you to kill someone.
AVERY: I hear you, Chief Yes, sir, I-I don't know how that could have happened.
Yes, sir.
Yes Oh, he's back from the grave.
- (CLAPPING, WHOOPS) - SCORSESE: Is it true that you dug yourself out of the earth with your own fingertips? Oh, that's, like, Tarantino-level badass.
Look, guys, let's, uh, give him his space.
- Yeah, later.
- Okay.
What the hell are you doing here? Did you get discharged? Not in so many words.
What? You just pulled the tubes out - and left? Cole, you - Last night.
- What? - Did you say that you went to Barnes? Please tell me that I'm remembering it wrong.
I really wish I could.
(SOFTLY): No.
What did he have you do? That doesn't matter.
What matters is you're back.
It does matter; this is how Barnes works.
You have no idea what you've set in motion.
What did he want? W-What were his terms? AVERY: Can someone explain to me how a handcuffed, two-time felon just walks out of RHD? Where's Benny Avila, people? Find him before the chief calls me back.
- That means now.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Who's Benny Avila? He's a drug trafficker.
Criminal, you know BAILEY: An ex-lieutenant of the Vasquez Cartel.
GUTE: Your friend Sofia dropped a dime on him, landed his ass in jail.
Do we still have Sofia's guy in custody? Yeah.
Unless he walked out, too.
Let's start squeezing him.
We find out where Sofia is, we find Benny.
How do you know? Hey, the man was buried alive.
Less doubting, more squeezing.
That's why Barnes wanted him out.
He's gonna kill Sofia, make Benny king.
- I got to come clean with Avery.
- Absolutely not.
You do that, you can enjoy your retirement in jail.
This is all my doing.
You did it for me.
Let's find Benny before he does anything.
I'm not gonna let Barnes ruin your life, too.
You think you can ask that with a little less judgment? No, no, no, no.
There was no judgment.
It was a genuine question.
Do you want to do this my way or your way? Right there.
That's judgment.
My way being speedy, your way being slow, methodical, reasoned.
What's the problem, Gute? Other than a partner who can barely contain her hostility, I don't know.
Oh, I'm not the hostile one.
You punched me in the face the first time we met.
Tell you what, if you can get Sofia's location out of Flaco in three minutes, I'll give you one free shot.
Be right here.
Three minutes? All right.
- Mm-hmm.
SÃ.
- Okay, I got it.
- Yeah.
I know.
- Okay.
BAILEY: Uh-huh.
Don't get up, Mr.
Flaco.
This won't take longer than three minutes.
(CAR DOORS OPEN) You said, "Let's find Benny.
" Figure of speech.
As in the two of us, together.
What I meant was, let me handle this.
The best thing you can do is stay far away from this mess.
You took care of my family.
Let me take care of yours.
MAYA: Mom, let's go! Dad's here! Dad! Oh, careful, honey.
- Your dad is - No, no, no.
It's fine.
Hug away.
Are you sure? You think they'd let me out of the hospital if I wasn't okay? I was worried about you.
You know what's good for worry? - (LAUGHS): Candy? - Candy.
- (GIGGLING) - That's my girl.
Maya, could you give me and Dad a minute? - Mm-hmm.
- Thank you.
(LAUGHS) (PHONE RINGING) Hey, Bailey.
What's up? I may have a location on Sofia.
Damn speedy, Bailey.
Enhanced interrogation.
Do I need to worry? Not about the suspect.
COLE: I self-discharged.
Who knows my body better than me? Definitely not trained doctors.
Speaking of hospital-grade painkillers you said some things last night that were hard to hear.
About your haircut? My haircut? What? No.
You didn't get a haircut? You really don't remember anything we talked about last night? Maybe it'll come back to me.
Well, if it does we should talk.
(LAUGHS) 77 Lakeview Canyon Road, Thousand Oaks.
Flaco gave up an address for Sofia.
And I'm coming with.
Roger, we talked about this.
(SNORTS) Yeah, I know.
I shouldn't be anywhere near this mess, but the thing is, this is my mess to clean up.
But it's not.
This started way before you, with Barnes.
I let Benny go.
You're really digging in on this.
Yeah, and you know why? Because this is you shooting out my tires again so that I can't follow you, and What are you doing? Writing an apology note.
- To who? - To you.
(CHUCKLES): For what? For this.
I got you.
Take a little nap, buddy.
Sorry, Roger.
Hey.
I need to see you.
I know I'm grounded, Dylan.
Okay, see you in a minute.
(ENGINE STARTS) (RADIO PLAYING FAINTLY) Hey.
Whoa, whoa.
I'm impressed.
(RIANA LAUGHS) - You snuck out.
- RIANA: I did.
My parents are driving me insane.
Damn, I'm sorry, Ri.
DYLAN: What'd they do now? RIANA: Let's see.
My mom constantly lawyers me, my dad can't seem to leave his bad cop act at the office.
DYLAN: That is so unfair.
They're just so critical.
I mean, I did something nice today, and my mom was actually surprised.
They just don't appreciate how good they have it.
And how perfect you are.
RIANA: I mean, it's not like I want to be a bad kid, you know? Mm-hmm.
Are you trying to kiss me? God, you weren't even listening.
Ah! Get your hands off my daughter.
- Holy crap.
- Dad, what are you doing here? I'm watching.
Always watching.
Now get out.
I'm taking the car.
Come on, get out the car! (INSECTS TRILLING) (TIRES SCREECH) (GUNFIRE, MEN SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (GUN CLICKS) - Shh! - (MUFFLED SCREAMING) Ow! Ugh What is it with you and hands? Sofia, I'm not here to kill you.
Okay? Benny Avila is.
Benny Avila's in prison.
No, he's here.
He's staging a coup with the CIA's blessing.
Why would you want to save me? COLE: Because if he kills you, my partner goes down.
No! (SHOUTS) Either you come downtown with me, or you stay here and Benny kills you.
Get me out of here now.
(COLE GRUNTS) (GUNSHOTS IN DISTANCE) Come on.
I'll catch you.
Sofia, you have to trust me.
You killed my husband.
Yes.
I did.
(VEHICLE APPROACHING) (BENNY GROANS) Benny! - Remember me? - We had a deal.
Yes, we did.
And I'm a man of my word.
(GRUNTS) Of course, possession's another charge.
Hey, Roger.
What took you so long? Some smart-ass stole my car.
Hmm.
TRISH: Are you trying to get in trouble? Mom, I You waltzed in at 12:30 last night.
I needed some fresh air.
Okay, well, at this point, you're lucky that room of yours has a window.
- One week just became four.
- Wait.
You can't ground me when I'm already grounded.
Like, isn't that some kind of double jeopardy? Sorry.
Separate charges.
- You guys started without me? - Yeah.
Glad you're up.
Maybe you can get through to your daughter.
Dad, please.
She's trying to ground me for a month.
Riana, your mother has every right to be disappointed.
Thank you, baby.
MURTAUGH: That being said, a month is a bit harsh.
Thank you, Daddy.
Provided we see some changes in your dating habits.
I already ended things with Dylan.
He's a terrible listener.
What do you say, Counselor? Two weeks? Mm-hmm.
So, you gonna tell me what happened last night? I plead the fifth.
Got to say, I liked it better when we were working together.
You want your job back? I'd rather be buried alive.
And that's speaking from experience, thanks to you.
Look, I'm sorry about that, all right? But the Wesley I know wouldn't have let it get that far.
That guy doesn't exist anymore.
It's amusing that you think that.
I gave up everything that mattered to me because of you.
My family.
That's not gonna happen anymore.
I mean, people come and go, Wes.
Duty is all that matters.
Not anymore.
You mess with my partner again, and I'll kill you.
You're not the man I thought you were.
That's the nicest thing you ever said to me.
GUTE: You asked to see me, Cap? Gute.
Is it Gute or the Gute? Whichever.
I'm fine, whatever.
I just wanted to officially welcome you aboard.
Seems like you and Bailey really hit your stride - on the Vasquez case.
- Yeah, you could say that.
Did you hear we found Benny Avila? News to me.
Where was he? Second stall, second floor bathroom.
I walked in, opened the door, there he was.
- That's crazy.
- Isn't it? Crazy, right? I mean, I He says he had been hiding in there all night, but that's a lie, because just two hours earlier, I was in that very same stall.
Everything okay? It's almost like someone put him exactly where they knew I would find him.
Someone with, say, insight into my stall preferences.
Don't look at me.
I'm new here, so True.
And you want to start off on the right foot.
Course.
So is there anything you want to tell me? No.
You're not covering for anyone? Murtaugh, maybe? Listen, I don't know how he got there.
Head injury and all.
But I think I know what you're saying, Cap.
- You do? - Mm-hmm.
Stay away from stall two, right? Yeah.
Will do.
("SUCH A SIMPLE THING" BY RAY LAMONTAGNE PLAYING) Hey.
What are you doing here? Tell me what you're feeling The other night you said that Bali was a fantasy.
It wasn't.
I can take the pain It was real for me.
I had my bags packed, and I was ready to go.
Cole, what is this? I know you think that I-I chose work over us, but it wasn't that simple.
I wasn't supposed to have any attachments.
Could've been dangerous.
Tell me what your heart wants I had to protect you from that.
I had to protect you because I loved you.
(EXHALES) I've always loved you.
- I still love you.
- Wow.
Your timing is I-I can't do this.
Yours is like a flame Andrew works here.
I just can't.
Nat, wait.
I can't make you see - Hey.
- Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
If you don't by now How could you? I, uh How could you say this to me now? When I am finally happy with somebody else.
Where were you 13 years ago? I waited for you at that airport, hoping you would show.
- I'm sorry.
- Where were you five years ago? Cole, I was still waiting.
I should have never let you go.
But you did.
Can't you see how much you hurt me? I have made so many mistakes.
It's like I wasn't there Should've thrown it all away for you.
For us.
Give me a chance.
I can't make you see If you don't by now (PHONE RINGING) I'll get through these chains Maya, what's happening? MAYA: Murtaugh, hey.
Just checking in to see how my dad was doing.
Somehow Wow.
That just happened.
Yeah.
I should go.
I'd say he's doing just fine.
