Plot summary
(Note: this summary is based on the extended cut from the Season 6 DVD set, not the shorter version shown in the episode "Dee Reynolds: Shaping America's Youth")

Martin Riggs (Mac) goes into the office of his friend and partner Roger Murtaugh (Dennis Reynolds) with a cake to celebrate his retirement. The celebration is interrupted by their captain (Charlie Kelly) who tells them that someone else has died due to tainted tap water. When Murtaugh tells him that he's retired, the captain informs him that the victim was Murtaugh's wife. Murtaugh tells Riggs "I just thought of my wish", and blows out the candle on his cake. They track down a hooker (Artemis Dubois). They handcuff her to the car and tell her that they have heard she may have information on who is poisoning the water supply. She refuses to talk at first, but after Riggs starts to gun the car forward with her still handcuffed to it, she talks, telling them that it was "some Indian guy" (feather, not dot) who "owns a bunch of casinos". Despite offering to "suck [them] until I pass out", they take off, dragging the whore behind them. They go to see the Indian in question: Chief Lazarus (Frank Reynolds). His office overlooks a massive aquarium, where he shows off his pet shark as he eats a shark steak. A rather buxom blonde is at his side. He denies knowing anything about the tainted water supply, but Riggs points out that his tribe owns the water rights to half of LA. Again, the Chief denies having anything to do with it, pointing out that he needs clean water too. He tells them that he has "pressing matters" to attend to, so they leave. We then cut to the Chief banging the blonde he was with. For a very long time, in very excruciatingly graphic detail. At least it seems like a very long time.

Riggs (now played by Dennis Reynolds) is tied to a pipe behind a building, where one of the Chief's goons (Charlie Kelly) shocks him with a stun gun. Riggs manages to snap the goon's neck by getting his legs around his neck, which allows him to free himself, and he goes into the building. Inside the building, Murtaugh (now played by Mac, in blackface) is tied up, where the Chief is telling him of his plans to force the city of LA to come to him for clean water, which he will charge an exorbitant price for. Murtaugh is defiant, telling the Chief to "go suck an egg" when Chief asks for his last words. The Chief then prepares to scalp Murtaugh.

Riggs then bursts into the room with his gun. The Chief sends his goon (also played by Charlie Kelly in a blond wig to make it obvious that it's not the same goon Riggs just killed) after Riggs while he makes his escape. Riggs and the goon have a kung fu fight, which Riggs wins by kicking the goon out a window, causing him to fall to the ground and then get run over by a UPS truck.

==== Riggs and Murtaugh chase after the Chief, who fires on them with an assault rifle. They take cover until he runs out of bullets and runs off. Murtaugh utters his immortal line "I'm too old for this shit" and Riggs says he'll go after the Chief himself. ==== They run out of the building, and after they both execute really sweet slides across the hood of a car, Riggs brings the Chief down by throwing his gun, which is out of bullets, at the back of his knee. This allows him to catch up to the Chief, and they then have a very fake-looking fistfight. Riggs pushes the Chief back against an electrical transformer, and prepares to arrest him, but the Chief reveals he has another gun hidden away. He is about to shoot Riggs when Murtaugh runs out there with a glass of tainted tap water, which he throws on the transformer, electrocuting the Chief to death.

Riggs and Murtaugh stand at the graves of their wives in the rain. They pay respect to their wives, and then fire their guns in the air as a salute.
