In Lethal Weapon 2, Riggs discovers that South African crime lord Arjen Rudd, whom he and Murtaugh are pursuing, ordered Riggs's death in 1984. Rudd's enforcer, Pieter Vorstedt, killed Victoria Riggs by mistake and made the murder look like an automobile accident to cover up their involvement.
That partner is 37-year-old Detective-Sergeant Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), whose wife was killed in a car accident three years earlier. As a result, Riggs is a suicidal, borderline alcoholic, who has become so reckless and violent that he is considered a "lethal weapon".
However, its ratings dipped after one of its protagonists was killed off. Martin Riggs' (Clayne Crawford) death came about following some behind-the-scenes drama that forced the producers to split up the show's star duo.
Murtaugh's daughter Rianne is also pregnant and has secretly married Lee Butters, a young cop who works at the same precinct as Murtaugh and Riggs, though she cannot tell her father because he doesn't want her to date cops.
Hilarie Burton as Karen Palmer (seasons 1–2), a DEA agent who sometimes works with Riggs and Murtaugh on drug trafficking cases, and is also Riggs' love interest.
Nathan traveled overseas and brought back Farouk, Megan's son, who was stuck in Iraq, proving his love for Megan. Nathan and Megan then got back together and moved to Malibu together, resulting in Nathan's resignation from Grey Sloan.
Warner Bros. It's not uncommon for actors to play characters who are a different age from their own, but Lethal Weapon approaches it from both sides of the equation. Gibson was 30 when he played the 38-year-old Riggs, while Glover was 40 when he played the 50-year-old Murtaugh.
Danny Glover was only 40 when they shot Lethal Weapon, and he was playing Roger Murtaugh just turning 50. Mel Gibson was only 30, and he was playing Martin Riggs as about 35.
Murtough gave him the information about his father's demise in very ridiculous words like God needed his father more than he himself did. Ruskin Bond became puzzledwhy God had taken his father away from him, knowing that he was the only person to look him after.
What happened to Riggs first wife in Lethal Weapon?
In 1984, Riggs's wife of 11 years, Victoria Lynn, dies in a car accident, sending him into a deep depression. Driven by grief to the brink of suicide, Riggs regularly puts himself (and anyone else near him) in danger, hoping someone will kill him.
We learned off the bat that Riggs was indeed dead, and that Garrett killed himself following the shooting. Murtaugh, however, was very much in denial about the whole thing and it never really hit him until he found a video on Garrett's phone that showed him confessing to the murder.
Following a slew of production issues stemming from a fractured relationship between Crawford and Damon Wayans (which, unsurprisingly, ended with the more famous face sticking around), the Season 3 premiere kills off Riggs for good — as was strongly implied in last year's finale.
Who is the girl in the opening scene of Lethal Weapon?

General Peter McAllister is the main antagonist in the 1987 buddy cop action hit film Lethal Weapon, the first installment of the Lethal Weapon franchise.
In all four films Murtaugh's signature weapon is a 4" Smith & Wesson Model 19 . 357 Magnum revolver which Riggs calls a "Six-shooter... A lot of old-timers carry those". In movies 2-4, he also uses a Smith & Wesson Model 5906 9mm pistol as a backup gun.
At the hospital, he begins a romantic relationship with Meredith Grey, now a widow after the death of Derek Shepherd, until his missing fiancée, Megan Hunt, is found and brought home. Nathan makes his last appearance in the episode "Danger Zone" when he and Megan start their life anew with her son in Los Angeles.
On Sept. 20, 1973, King, who was the No. 1 women's player in the world at the time, infamously beat the 55-year-old Riggs in straight sets in a tennis match dubbed the “Battle of the Sexes” in Houston's Astrodome.

She had been missing for 10 years, having vanished with a trace after leaving in a helicopter and flying over unprotected airspace in a war zone. Turns out Megan had been held captive and had a massive wound to her abdomen.
As multiple wounded soldiers come in after two of their Iraqi allies went rogue, the siblings end up operating on the same patient and Megan discovers the truth. Meanwhile, Teddy and Nathan operate together. Teddy knows Nathan cheated on Megan because she recognised the necklace as belonging to a woman named Felicia.
He was rescued by the Station 19 crew and taken to Grey Sloan Memorial where he was treated for his extensive injuries, including to his spine and a shattered leg.
