02x06 - Scream Rain

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

[growls]

[Vox] Just over seven years ago,

Lilith had a dream.

With her song,
she rallied the sinners of Hell

to attack Heaven
in an effort to liberate us.

But before she could wage her w*r,
she disappeared.

I merely wish to finish what she started.

A strong woman like yourself can relate,

I'm sure, Ms. Carmine.

[dramatic music playing]

I thought I had made my position clear.

I have no interest in engaging in this w*r

or assisting your disrespectful crew, Vox.

Hmm, funny you mention that.

See, my associate, Velvette here,
came along today

specifically to apologize
about her childish actions

at your last overlord meeting.

She meant no harm.

Did you, Velvette?

[seethes] That's right.

I spoke out of turn.

F... forgive me.

See, she's sorry.

You should cut her some slack.

You know, she's still
pretty new to the overlord biz.

Noted. But that doesn't change things.

I have nothing more to negotiate
with the man bringing angels

to my doorstep.

Mm. Are you sure that's me?

If I recall, it was...

you who armed Charlie
to slay the angels in the first place.

Those were different circumstances.

Was it, though?

Because I'm just picking up
where you guys left off.

See, you sit up here

in your creepy factory, thinking
you're above this w*r, when, really,

you're the one who started it.

Make no mistake, Carmilla.

w*r is coming.

You're either with me

or against me.
And when the first shot fires,

whose side do you want to be on?

Heaven's?

You think they won't come for you?

The one that supplied
the princess with the knife

that k*lled their leader.

Help me protect Hell, Carmilla,

and I'll help you... protect them.

[sighs]

I'll build your weapon.

[maniacal laughter]

Way to throw me under
the f*cking bus back there, V.

So much for "just fake an apology."

Oh, come on, Velvette,
we got the deal, didn't we?

Besides, you did manage to f*ck up

the one overlord meeting
I let you do on my behalf.

So, uh, maybe you should reflect
a little, mm-kay?

[growls] f*cking m*therf*cker!

[pensive music playing]

[sighs]

Carmilla,

you surrendered yourself
to the media overlord?

You know he doth profess
allegiance to Hell,

but his true alliance

lies only with himself.

This is not about sides, Zestial.

You know better
than to pay heed to his words.

This path will lead to only ruin.

The angels are coming, Zestial,

and I can't... I won't lose anyone else.

My loyalty is to my own. My girls.

You.

[sighs] Do what you must,

but I shan't join you in this conquest.

My truest wish is that you cometh

to thine senses posthaste.

For when you do,

I shall return to your side.

[whoosh]

Zestial, I...

[playful music playing]

-[squeals]
-[growls]

Don't worry.
It'll be back working in a minute.

[grunting]

This just in:
a historic deal has been struck

between Voxtek and Carmine Industries.

What? Oh, come on.

This is such an exciting partnership.

With Carmine's innovation
with angel weaponry, who knows

what this could mean for the w*r efforts?

Voxtek loves women in STEM.

And now for Hell's weather forecast:

scream rain.

[thunder screaming]

Guys, are you hearing this?

I know, right?
Rain has no business screaming like that.

I told you, Princess,
I'm done playing therapist.

I ain't good at it.

Maybe you should ask
Little Miss Can't Pick a f*cking Name.

She's the one running the place.

Hmm, well, I don't really want
to speak to her right now.

Besides, she's perfectly fine
doing whatever she wants behind my back.

Well, Husk, if you see Charlie,

can you let her know
I've been doing everything

around the hotel already? So... [laughs]

It's not like it'll make a difference.

Well, Husk, if you see Vaggie,

can you explain that hotel duties
don't include inciting a w*r?

Enough! I'm so f*cking done

with this petty high school bullshit.

-I'm out!
-Whoa. Wait. What?

No, no, no, you can't leave.

The... the bar needs you.

Too bad.

Alastor's gone, so I'm gone.

I got no reason to stick around.

Hey. What about Angel?

What about him? He's a grown-up.

He doesn't need me.

[sighs]

Great, now someone has
to take over the bar, too.

f*ck my life.

Hmm, I wonder who that's gonna be.

[groans] Could this day get any worse?

-[Vox laughing on TV]
-Uh...

And with Carmilla's aid, we can finally

fulfill Lilith's dream.

She started this resistance to take back
our power by force.

She wanted blood,

now let's spill some blood. Resist!

My mom never wanted violence.

She empowered sinners. Peaceful protest.

There was no blood!

I can't believe Carmilla
would side with that low-life garbage.

-I have to talk to her.
-I have to talk to her.

[sighs] We should both go. Niffty...

I can't believe I'm saying this...
you're in charge.

Hooray!

Rise, children. [chuckles]

It's time.

[upbeat jazz music playing]

[thunder screams]

[sinner] I don't have a gambling problem.
What, do you have a problem?

[buzzer blaring in distance]

Oh, my f*cking God.

That was my f*cking
Hell mortgage on my Hell house!

f*ck!

-f*ck!
-This place hasn't changed a bit.

[whinnies]

One game can't hurt.

Give me some luck, doll.

-[blows]
-Gonna win big this time, I can feel it.

Lucky sevens! Yeah! Yeah, baby, that's it!

[laughs]

Now, this is where I'm meant to be.

[groans]

[vibrant music playing]

Just let me do the talking.

She listens to me.

Well, my dad listened to you,
and look where that got us.

[scoffs]

I don't have time for this l*sbian drama.

What is it you want?

-[Charlie] I thought you stood with us!
-[Vaggie] You, you can't work with Vox.

-You're working for the man!
-He's an insane person.

-The TV man!
-I mean, literal garbage.

Carmilla, this is not what my mom wanted.

We should never go to w*r.

Heaven doesn't want to hurt us anymore.

They know that there's a better way.

How do you know
Heaven is no longer a threat

when Vox just declared a w*r?

They won't just surrender.

We don't,
but we just learned the hotel works.

Why start a w*r now? Why join Vox now?

The same reason I supplied you all
with the weapons to defend yourselves.

When a fight is to come,
I will protect my own.

You are the ones who asked me
for the way to fight back,

you made the stand,

you k*lled their leader.

You started this w*r.

Why do you still insist

on Heaven being the answer
when you know firsthand

-what they are capable of?
-Because...

[grunting]

I...

Because we should never let ourselves

become them.

My mother believed that there was...

Lilith is gone.
Her beliefs don't matter.

What matters is, w*r is coming

and I am choosing the winning side.

[emotional music playing]

[slurring] Now, this is living.

[laughs]

Not wasting

my life working behind some bar.

Good booze,
nobody wanting nothing from me,

and a song sung by a lovely broad.

-[cheering]
-Wow, that-that was... that was hot.

Wait, does that make me g*y? Am I...?

I'm not g*y, am I?

[Valentino] Throw more a*s.

Too saggy.

I want that full extension on the leg.

Is that how big it gets?

I'm sorry, but it needs to be bigger.

Mm-hmm.

Everyone out.

What do you want, Vox?

I'm already struggling to find a costar
that can keep up with Angel and...

You read my mind.
That's actually why I'm here.

I may need to borrow Angel Dust for a bit.

And before you say anything,

just wait till you hear me out.

The next part of my plan is gonna make

the princess k*ll herself. [laughs]

Our plan. Mine, and Velvette's, too.

Or did you forget? [seethes]

I'm not gonna wait in the wings again

while you and Angel take center stage.

Oh, Val.

Is that jealousy I hear?

-[growls]
-Come now, Val,

we have been partners...

in-in business

for decades.
You know it's all just metrics.

We got to push
the fan favorites to the front

to give 'em more screen time.

It means nothing in the long run.

[clears throat] Just do me

this little, tiny, little favor,

and, you know, I have the next

few hours free.

Maybe we could... f*ck around.

[Velvette] I don't see
this part in the script.

Funny how you make time for us
when you need something, hmm?

V-Velvette,
I was just about to fill you in.

We were just, uh, t-talking.

[Alastor] Hmm,

seemed more like begging to me.

I don't beg.

I was clearly demanding.

Valentino, you will listen

and you will call Angel Dust here tonight.

No questions.

Ugh, get off me. You know
that freaky eye sh*t doesn't work on me.

Plus I don't even know why you're asking.

You just do
whatever the f*ck you want anyway,

all for your stupid

f*cking plan, right?

And this whole thing,

it's getting old fast, Vox.

Ay, ya no puedo con este,

ay, que estupido demonio...

-[muttering in Spanish]
-You know I can't understand you

when you speak that island language, Val.

[laughs]

Anyone else got sh*t to say?

-[Valentino] I'm from f*cking Florida.
-Ow!

-[Valentino] f*cking d*ck.
-Ha. Nice Shot, Val.

-[rat squeaking]
-[gasps]

[shouts]

[Cherri] No, no, no, no.

Stop... [groans]
Come over here. Okay, okay.

Fat Nuggets, come here, come here.

You little b*tch. Stop!

Drop it! Drop it!

Drop it or you're bacon, you b*tch.

[groans] Niffty.

Niffty, I told you
to watch over the hotel.

What have you been doing the whole time?

This.

[playing jazz]

Baxter fixed them.

Now they have fingers and lungs
so they can play instruments.

[Vaggie] Oh, that's kind of
impressive, actually.

[bell jingles]

Now what?

[grunts]

Huh.

So that's where all the blankets went.

Charlie?

Are you okay?

I thought about what you said
the other day.

About me hyper-fixating on all the lies

about me, about my mom, and...

you were right.

So...

Oh.

Fat Nuggets sat on the icing.

Yeah, we cannot eat that.

[chuckles]

It's okay.

I know it's been hard on you.

I just also know it was only
making things worse to engage with it.

And it's hard sometimes
to feel like you aren't hearing me.

But I just want you to know it's okay.

-I still love you.
-But it's not okay.

I got so caught up
in all the drama and my mom.

Look, this hotel

was my way of finishing what she started,

and I think I've been trying so hard
to hold on to it

because if I can make it work,
maybe she'd be...

proud of me.

And maybe she'd come back and tell me
what I did to make her leave.

But all I've done

is drive everyone away.

Pentious, Husk, Alastor,

my dad. Everybody leaves.

And now Vox is declaring a w*r,

and Carmilla's right, I started it,

and I'm a hypocrite
and my dreams are gonna die.

[sinner] Boobs are boobs,

baby, yeah.

You know I'm always saying that, yeah.

Hey, loser.

Finally living up to your name, huh?

I didn't know you performed here.

I'm a man of many jobs.

One of 'em, being a woman.

Well, I quit.

Wow. Uh, I-I mean,

I-I guess since Alastor
ain't around anymore,

you don't really need to, but, um,

still...

That hotel's a bigger mess than we are.

[scoffs] Yeah.
I think my botched redemption arc

was proof of that.

Sorry for pushing you into that.

Should've realized it was a...

Eh, it's fine.

I've accepted that redemption's
not really for people like me.

Are you still mad I saved your life?

I wasn't really mad. I...

I'm just not worth saving.

This, this here is what I'm meant for.

Just a sad drunk at a bar.

And I'm just a sex worker in a dress

whose lunch was three cigarettes.

To being us.

-[phone buzzes]
-Oh, speaking of other jobs,

I got a film sh**t.

See you at the hotel tonight, Whiskers.

No, no, no, you won't.

Yeah, I will.

[laughs]

[sighs]

[mysterious music playing]

Hey, so is this line more like a...

[moans]

Or a "Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No! Yes"?

Change of plans.

You were bought out for the night.

In there.

Oh? Uh, well, okay, I-I'll...

Do I collect for you,
or-or have they paid?

[Valentino growls]

I'll do my best, Daddy.

[giggles]

The f*ck?

Oh? You shy, big boy?

You want me to come find you?

Or are you just like
really small or something?

[shouts] Oh.

Vox.

What are you... [chokes]

Sorry for the sudden visit.

I just need to borrow
that empty little head of yours.

I'd like to see you f*cking try.

Mm.

[yells, coughs]

I've been wanting
to do that for so f*cking long,

you stubborn f*cking wh*re.

More trouble than you're worth.

Sure glad I found a use for you.

[grunts]

[screaming]

Ah, it's almost cute
how you scream every time.

-What?
-Oh, poor little Angel Dust.

How do you think I was always

one step ahead of the princess?

Or how I knew the angels were coming?

Or that Lucifer
couldn't do anything to me?

[screams]

Think back. Any late-night jobs

you can't quite remember?

There wasn't a moment
I haven't been watching.

[disorienting music playing]

[Angel Dust] Charlie ain't looking
too good under pressure.

[Charlie] We did it!
Redemption is possible, Vaggie!

Give me the tea later.

[Lucifer] I'll let you in
on a little secret.

I cannot smite him.

[Angel Dust] What? No.

I-I would never...

Oh, but you already did.

You've been
a wonderful spy for me, Angel Dust.

But I think your time
at the hotel has come to an end.

Aw, don't look so upset.

Velvette's gonna make sure
you look great for your presentation.

[straining]

-[screaming]
-[Vox chuckling evilly]

[thunder screams]

Angel!

I, uh, I thought about our talk.

[bugs playing jazz]

Hey, look who's back.

Well, somebody needs
to keep you guys drunk.

-Where's Angel at?
-I don't f*cking know.

Should've been back by now, though,

'cause clearly nobody's fed

Fat f*cking Nuggets.

Have they, little fat one, huh?

-Hasn't been answering my texts either.
-Hmm.

Something ain't right.

[bugs play dramatic sting]

That-That's nice, Niffty. Good job.

[giggling] Yes.

Good job, Niffty.

[sentimental music playing]

No matter what's ahead,
we've faced impossible odds before.

Together, we can do it again.

Thank you, Vaggie.

For keeping the faith
that I lost control of.

[quacking emotionally]

[Lucifer] Don't you, don't do it,
don't do it, don't you...

Oh, you b*tch.

Yuck. Oh, don't...

Oh, come on, don't.
Don't, Sir Quackington, no!

[phone buzzing]

Huh?

Oh!

Charlie, my lovely daughter
who I love and miss.

Uh, eh, what's popping?

[Charlie] Dad, I need to talk to you.

I'll send you my location, okay?

Uh, uh, of course.
Yeah, I'll be there right away.

[exhales sharply]

I'm such a good dad.

[ominous music playing]

[Charlie's voice laughs]

[Charlie and Vox's voices] Looks like
we got our power source.

[laughing maniacally]

[thunder screams]

The f*ck? What the f*ck was that?

[upbeat music playing]

[neighing]

[whip cracks]

-Bento.
-[cheering]
