Riggs and Murtaugh follow a violent case involving a drug cartel, murder, and, unfortunately, Murtaugh’s old training officer, Ned Brower (guest star Ted Levine). As the case unfolds, it turns out that Ned is more involved than it appeared, leaving Murtaugh with a dangerous decision to make. Looking for back-up, the duo turns to Cruz (guest star Richard Cabral) for help. In the midst of all the chaos, Riggs continues to depend on outside vices to cope with the loss of his wife, while Murtaugh and Trish struggle to find alone time in the “Best Buds” episode of LETHAL WEAPON airing Tuesday, July 25 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (LET-103) (TV-14 L, V)
Combining action and drama with ride-or-die friendship and humor, LETHAL WEAPON reimagines the hit movie franchise, as it follows classic cop duo Riggs (Clayne Crawford, "Rectify") and Murtaugh (Emmy Award nominee Damon Wayans, "My Wife and Kids," "In Living Color"), who work a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his young wife and unborn child, ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective MARTIN RIGGS moves to California to "start over" at the LAPD. He's paired up with ROGER MURTAUGH, who's just coming back to the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs' penchant for diving headfirst into the line of fire immediately clashes with Murtaugh's prudent, by-the-book technique. One has everything to live for, the other has nothing to lose.
