LUCIFER: What, have I mussed my suit again? It's impossible to keep clean, this thing.

You have wings.

LUCIFER: Ah. Right, yes, forgot. Bit of a conversation-stopper for you humans, isn't it?

[Sighs] There we go. That better?

Ah.

[Chuckles]

You take care.

All right.

Nice suit.

LUCIFER: Oh, well, thank you very much.

My grandpa had one just like it.

LUCIFER: Grandfather? But... Mm-hmm. This was the height of fashion last time I visited.

Hmm. You here for business or pleasure?

LUCIFER: Oh, pleasure. Always pleasure.

Oh, then you came to the right place.

[Chuckles]: Mm!

LUCIFER: [Groans] How can someone who can literally control time have such atrocious timing?

Toying with humans again, I see. Oh, these poor creatures. They know not what they do.

LUCIFER: I beg to differ. Everyone here is well aware that they're doing me.

Enough foolishness. It's time for me to take you back to Hell. As always.

LUCIFER: Correction: allow you to take me back, as always.

Please. Everyone knows I'm the strongest of God's children.

LUCIFER: Uh, not everybody. I mean, you've never fought me, have you, huh? Care to give it a try?

You know damn well that celestial beings aren't allowed to interact here on Earth.

Now, let's go.

[Sighs]

It's dangerous for humanity to be exposed to divinity.

LUCIFER: Well, I wouldn't sit on that couch... Left a lot of divinity there.

Enough! Now, you can either deal with me, or you can deal with Father. Yeah. That's what I thought.

LUCIFER: Very well. Well, at least allow me to say my good-byes. I mean, that's just manners, isn't it? Not that you'd know.

Ten minutes.

LUCIFER: [Whispers]: Right.

Nice dress.

It's a robe.

You wear it well.

Humans.

[Three g*nshots]

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

I'm just...

[Gasps]

My necklace.

LUCIFER: And this little demon went, "Wee, wee, wee, wee, wee," all into the valley of sin.

[Laughs]

There's been a change of plans, Luci.

LUCIFER: Oh, G... Oh. Not what I expected, but, uh, all right, fine, have fun. Just go in the other room. Or not. Sorry, are you going somewhere?

Uh... listen, I have an errand to run.

LUCIFER: Why are there holes in your dress?

It's a robe.

LUCIFER: Oh, I apologize. Why are there holes in your dress?

Look, I don't trust you to see yourself back to Hell, okay? So I want you to stay here for a few hours, and then we'll go.

LUCIFER: Oh. More time in L.A. Lucky me.

[Chuckles]

You see, I respect the rule of human law, which is why I'm seeking your assistance in a matter of utmost importance. A robbery has occurred.

Okay. What was stolen?

My necklace.

The estimated value?

It's hard to say, really, uh... It's not of this world, so there's that. Priceless beyond measure.

I'll just put down $40. Where did the incident occur?

In an alleyway south of "Cahunana" and Franklin.

Cahuenga?

"Cahunana" and Franklin.

Now, this thief was armed, and, oh, yes, uh, I made a rendering. And I do believe that this should help you with your quest.

Okay. So a jack-o'-lantern stole your necklace?

So you know this man? Where can I find this Mr. O'Lantern?

Did Paolucci put you up to this?

You know it's a crime to file a false report, right?

You think I would lie?

What?

[Phone ringing]

Sorry, excuse me.

Just two seconds.

Hey, honey, what's up?

Dan: I'm not gonna make date night.

Oh, that's all right.

My mom just called, and she has to sh**t tonight, so she can't watch Trixie anyhow.

Well, I'm gonna be home pretty late.

You want me to pick up some dinner?

No, that's okay.

There's stuff for tacos in the fridge, and we'll make it a thing.

We'll call it "Taco Tuesday." Trixie will love it.

Cool.

So, what are you doing?

I caught a body on Franklin and Cahuenga.

Really?

That's so weird, a guy just came in, reporting a mugging near there.

I wonder if it has anything to do...

with your homicide.

Lucifer.

[Groans]

LUCIFER: If only angels came with a snooze button. What? What is it, Brother?

A human sh*t me and stole my necklace.

LUCIFER: Well, so much for not exposing humanity to our divinity.

Which is why I need to get it back, all right?

Oh.

Now, I tried to utilize human law enforcement, but it failed, so...

[Sighs]

AMENADIEL: I need your help, Luci.

[Chuckles]

Oh, do you now?

AMENADIEL: Well, you've always been crafty... smart...

LUCIFER: Craftier, smarter than you. Yes, and more handsome. Go on.

AMENADIEL: And because you've spent more time with humanity, you may understand them better than I do.

LUCIFER: Well, most of that time, I was naked, but true nonetheless.

AMENADIEL: Luci, are you gonna help me or not?

LUCIFER: Hmm. Okay. But you have to follow me.

Officer Decker.

Hi.

Hi.

How's it going?

Dan, not at work, remember?

Sorry.

Hey, remember the, uh, robbery I told you about, happened around the corner?

Yeah.

Um, so I searched the area, and I found this.

It looks like a key fob.

I don't know to what, but it looks like there's blood on it, and...

do you think this could be connected to your homicide?

Could be, but even if it is, all signs point to a random attacker.

A serial mugger on a spree.

Hmm.

Looks like my guy resisted and ended up dead.

That's the guy that got mugged?

Yeah.

He's built like a t*nk.

Yeah.

And so is the guy that reported the robbery.

They're the last two guys that I'd try to mug.

Yeah, well, a g*n can be a pretty great equalizer.

I don't think this was random, Dan.

Okay, I'll look into it, but... only when I'm done, it's gonna be a while.

Okay, why don't I get a jump on it?

No.

Dan, you said to make detective, I have to show initiative, right?

Right. Right. Mm-hmm. Let me know what you hear, Officer Decker.

[Piano playing jazz music]

Oh, lovely.

[Chuckles]

LUCIFER: Amazing. Does no one work in this town?

Is this where thieves come to spend their spoils on wine and women?

LUCIFER: Something like that, yeah. Oh. Brother, listen to that. Oh. I haven't heard music like that since... well, since the Silver City.

What, there's no music in Hell?

LUCIFER: Only for t*rture, and usually out of tune. Lately, we've been playing music by this chap named Bieber. Gosh, you should hear the screams. Why don't you go and, um, grab us a couple of drinks, and I'll do some reconnaissance.

You didn't come here to find this thief, did you? You're just trying to stall your return to Hell.

LUCIFER: Oh, I really hoped to get a few more drinks in before you worked that one out.

Luci, this isn't some game. Now, how many times do I have to tell you? Humanity should not be exposed to...

LUCIFER: It's just a necklace, for crying out loud.

You promised me that you would help.

LUCIFER: And I am by distracting you from the painful reality that you're never going to find it.

[Resumes playing "changes"]

TV reporter: found earlier today near Cahuenga and Franklin.

The police have identified the m*rder victim as MMA fighter Aiden Scott.

Scott's body was found this morning, the victim of an apparent sh**ting.

Luci, look.

His family has been notified.

Born in Lancaster, California, Aiden Scott moved to Los Angeles...

What?

I know this man.

Uh, the runner, right before the theft.

LUCIFER: What, you think he had something to do with it?

Exactly, Brother. Whoever k*lled this Aiden Scott must also be the same thief who tried to k*ll me, and then took my necklace.

The LAPD currently have no leads.

How are we gonna find him if his own kind can't even locate him?

Which is why I recommend drinking.

TV reporter: Coming up, we will learn more about the life of Aiden Scott and who he left behind.

We'll talk to some of...

LUCIFER: Actually, do you know, I think I might be able to help you, Brother, but I'm gonna need more than a few extra hours here on Earth.

Name your price.

LUCIFER: Ooh, well, I can't actually think of anything right now, so how about a blank check, cashed at a time of my choosing?

Agreed.

LUCIFER: Well, say it properly. Say it.

Deal.

LUCIFER: Deal. Right, come on.

Okay, how about that one?

Too douchey.

Too hick.

Ah.

LUCIFER: Oh, do you now?

Focus.

[Chuckles]

What I don't get is how this helps us track down this thief, why are we here?

LUCIFER: Well, two reasons, actually. Uh, boobs.

Why am I not surprised?

[Chuckles]

LUCIFER: No, remember that news report thingy?

Well, there was a picture of our dead man standing next to a very distinctive décolletage.

You identified a human by her boobs?

LUCIFER: Not any boobs, Brother. These ones are very special. That mole, those curves, they could only belong to the one and only Misty Canyons.

And exactly how does this help me find my necklace?

LUCIFER: Well, if we want to find Aiden's k*ller, what better way to get information than from his lover? Trust me, a church confessional has nothing compared to pillow talk. Oh, my gosh, that's her, in the flesh. That's Misty Canyons.
Oh, my gosh! That's pen1s Demilo. Ha! What is this, nirvana? Do all p0rn stars reside in L.A.?

Right, how do I look?

Oh, come on, Luci. There must be hundreds of p0rn stars in Hell.

LUCIFER: Sadly, no, on account of all the good work they do here on Earth, I assume. Right, maybe she'll sign my chest, or something else.

Sorry, it's a closed set.

I'm here to talk to Misty Canyons about pillow talk.

Why didn't you say so?

Ms.

Canyons.

Hi.

Can I just say that I am a huge, huge fan of yours?

Oh, my gosh.

Thank you so much.

L.A.

Whorey.

What a classic.

Aw.

I really put my all into that one.

Yes, you did, didn't you?

And it showed.

One might say that you were born for it.

Oh.

Well, my dream is to sing, but until then, p0rn pays way better than waitressing.

Ah.

Plus, I kind of like it.

Goodness me, your parents must be so proud.

I wish.

Well, they told me to do what I love, and turns out I love s*x.

Oh, so you're a rebel.

[Giggles]

I guess so.

[Chuckles]

And if you really want to rebel, move to L.A., right?

All I know is that I have never been happier, freer.

Uh, we're ready for you on set, Misty.

Okay.

Well, if you ever do decide to do something worthy of damnation, I'd love to see you again.

Amenadiel: Where's the rest of it?

Ooh, I almost forgot.

["Pony" by Ginuwine playing]

♪ If you're horny, let's do it...

♪ Misty: You must be the window washer.

Well, good thing, because I was feeling dirty.

I am here to discuss a lost necklace.

Misty: So, you're a window-washer jeweler?

No.

Well, this took a turn, didn't it?

Well, I haven't seen your necklace.

Was it made of pearls, by chance?

It's actually a rod.

Unbreakable, very special.

Time to see the family jewels.

What?

No, no, no!

Y-You're not gonna find my necklace down there.

The man who k*lled Aiden Scott has it.

What?

Aiden's dead?

Aiden was such a good guy.

He accepted everyone, you know?

I can't think of anyone who'd want to hurt him.

Even the people he fought respected him.

He lost a lot.

But he never quit.

Aiden actually thought he could win the fight he had coming up, though, which is why he was so pissed when someone asked him to throw it.

Someone asked him to throw that fight, but he refused?

For a ton of money, yeah.

But he didn't care, he just wanted to win, fair and square.

Whoever tried to bribe Aiden to throw that fight must have been pretty angry when temptation didn't sway him.

Maybe the tempter k*lled him in frustration, and then took my necklace.

You have any idea who approached him?

No.

I mean, the fight was supposed to be tomorrow at Rico's in Hollywood.

Maybe someone there would know.

Gil: Everyone's real torn up about Aiden.

We're like family here.

So, uh, you were close with him, too?

[Chuckles]

He was a scrawny little thing when I started training him.

But one dedicated son of a "B." Nothing could stop that guy.

Well, almost nothing.

Uh, do you know if Aiden ran the same route every day?

I think so.

Why?

Well, 'cause if somebody wanted to k*ll him, you know, they'd know where he'd be.

I thought you cops were saying this was just a random robbery.

Did you notice any unusual behavior with Aiden lately?

Uh, arguments, grudges?

Well, actually, there was one guy he butted heads with: a promoter, Tio Sorrento.

Sketchy guy.

Never paid his fighters.

Tio and his tattooed buddy got into it with Aiden a couple weeks back.

But I didn't think anything of it.

You know where I can find him?

Plan is to get a drink.

Can't think when I'm sober.

Hello.

Apparently, they have, uh, 12 different types of whiskey.

Yes, humans are funny with their infinite capacity for distractions.

Lucifer: It's not distraction, Brother.

It's choice.

Two fingers of your finest Scotch, please, neat.

And, uh, who looks after the fights?

Tio Sorrento.

Everything goes through him.

Thank you.

Apparently, you arranged the fight that a recently deceased Aiden Scott was going to wage.

Let me guess.

Your fighter wants on the card tomorrow night.

My fighter?

But...

Oh, yes.

No, Amenadiel is quite the warrior.

Undefeated in battle, one of God's finest.

♪ How does this plan help me get my necklace back?

Well, our k*ller/necklace thief undoubtedly m*rder*d Aiden Scott for refusing to throw his fight.

So, in order to flush out our k*ller/necklace thief, we need to get them to approach you the same way that he or she approached our dead fighter.

It's quite simple, really.

Or stupid.

[Sighs]

Yes.

Well, the jewelry recovery playbook's a little thin here, Brother, so unless you have any better ideas...

Didn't think so.

But why do I need to train, Luci?

I am the Silver City's greatest fighter.

Again, disputable.

You raised a few too many eyebrows with your one-punch knockout.

So no more displays of celestial strength.

Cold hard cash.

For the right price.

Rumor has it that Aiden Scott was offered a hell of a deal, so we want the same.

Well, that someone is me.

Lovely.

Chloe: Dan.

Hey, what's up?

Hey.

Who's that?

One of Tio Sorrento's thugs.

The, uh, fight promoter you were telling me about.

Yeah.

Who was seen arguing with Aiden Scott just before he was k*lled.

Tats here has multiple warrants out, and after a little squeeze, I found out that Tio fixes fights for the Sarkisians.

As in the Sarkisian crime family?

Yeah, so what if Tio tried to fix Aiden's fight, and he refused, and he k*lled him for it?

Well, I'd say that's a pretty interesting theory.

I sense there's an "and" coming.

And I'd like to talk to Tio's lawyer, see if I can maneuver a deal.

Not a good idea.

Why?

'Cause you don't have any actual proof yet, Chloe.

All right?

If you're wrong, you get nothing and Tio knows we're onto him.

Dan, I'm right.

I can feel it.

Chloe, we'll look into Tio.

But right now, you got to be patient.

[Chuckles softly]

[Door closes]

Oh.

[Clears throat]

So, uh...

has he got your necklace?

He claims to not know it's whereabouts.

[School bell rings over TV, TV clicks off]

I suppose it's time to t*rture him.

So, you're up.

[Scoffs]

Look, just because I am the King of Hell doesn't mean I actually do the torturing.

I'm more of a delegator.

But I assumed this was going to happen, so I popped back down while you were in there and brought up the best.

You remember Mazikeen.

Hello, human.

[Grunts]

Where am I?

Who are you?

I'm a demon.

And I've risen from the bowels of Hell to t*rture you.

I already told that other guy I don't know nothing about Aiden Scott.

[Laughs]

That "other guy" wouldn't know a flanged mace from this...

stabbing object.

I'm here for the truth.

You don't have to do this.

No.

I get to do this.

[Grunts]

Asphyxiation?

[Shouts]

Electrocution?

There are so many ways I could hurt you.

I just can't decide.

Wow.

I'm on fire, aren't you?

No.

I thought Hell was hot.

[Exhales, growls]

Well, that human didn't k*ll anybody.

[Tio crying in distance]

And he doesn't know where your stupid necklace is, either.

Also a bit of a crier, it seems.

I hope you didn't go too hard, Maze.

He's not in Hell yet.

Oh, no.


Those are tears of joy.

Oh, so he's a masochist.

[Chuckles]

They can be quite tricky.

What did you use to inflict the pain?

Nothing.

Hmm?

In Hell, I have to use their own guilt against them as t*rture.

The method is chosen for them, but here, Lucifer...

[Stammers]

infinite possibilities.

I got so excited, I just had s*x with him.

[Laughs]: And then he wouldn't shut up.

[Laughs]

Enough.

That man tried to bribe me into throwing a fight, all right?

Now, he practically admitted doing the same with Aiden Scott, so he must be lying to you.

Nobody lies to me.

The human said he wanted to fix the dead one's fight, but someone b*at him to it.

Said someone placed a huge anonymous bet.

Half a million dollars on Aiden Scott losing.

Amenadiel: Whoever placed that bet probably k*lled Aiden Scott and stole my necklace.

Tio doesn't know who that is, either.

Said they only communicated anonymously...

through burner phones and dead drops.

So Tio has no idea who this man is, and no way of finding out.

Which basically means your so-called t*rture has been useless.

You want to go, bird boy?

Ooh, now this is getting interesting.

Luci, we still need to find this thief.

[Sighs]

And you're not gonna...

Very well.

Whoever stole your necklace tried to gamble on a sure thing.

So, maybe we could persuade our thief to gamble on another.

So if we convince this k*ller thief to bet on my fight instead, and I take the fall I promise to take, then we wait wherever the money is supposed to be dropped off, and then we see who shows up.

You are cleverer than you look.

Maze, do you think you can persuade Tio to arrange that?

Where should I begin?

Excuse me...

oh, no, no.

I'm good.

Charlotte Richards.

Hi.

I'm here regarding your client Tio Sorrento.

Etienne: I'm sorry, Ms.

Richards, she just...

Oh, it's fine, Etienne.

I always have time for law enforcement.

You are law enforcement, yes?

Yes, I, um...

I'm Officer Decker, and I'm here to help Tio.

And what makes you think that I need your help representing my client?

Hmm?

Uh, well, because we know he works for the Sarkisian family.

Mm-hmm.

And he's also implicated in the m*rder of Aiden Scott.

So if he agrees to speak with us, we'll go easier on him.

Have you ever heard of something called "leverage," Officer Decker?

If not, let me help you.

It's like pressure or influence, and it's something that you currently can't apply, because none of what you said actually resembles proof of a crime.

Why do you say that?

Because when you're out there writing traffic tickets, I'm representing families like the Lings and the Sokolovs.

Actual K*llers.

Alleged, anyway.

So it's going to take a lot more than spunk...

Especially rookie spunk...

And a prayer to intimidate me.

You represent the Sokolov family?

And you also represent Tio and the Sarkisians.

So, I-I thought the Sarkisians and the Sokolovs were at w*r over their bookmaking operations.

I wonder how they'd feel if they knew that their lawyer was double-dipping.

[Chuckles]: You know, I'm-I'm new at this, so...

I don't know what the term is for what you're doing, but I think it's called "leverage." Please have a seat, Officer.

Aw, thank you.

I didn't expect you to be so happy to lose your first fight ever, Brother.

And to a human, no less.

Nice try, Luci, but we both know this doesn't count.

Ah.

Not to mention the fact that no mere mortal could ever stand a chance against the full power of my God-given...

Forget it.

I regret mentioning it.

Especially now that he knows he's a suspect in Aiden Scott's m*rder.

He swore to Charlotte Richards that he had nothing to do with the m*rder and that he'd help us find the k*ller.

So he's just gonna drop a bunch of cash off into a locker?

Yeah, if that's what's gonna clear his name.

And whoever picks it up either k*lled Aiden Scott or knows who did.

Tio doesn't show up, he alerts his bosses about our investigation.

Luci, I just hope whoever stole my necklace won't take too long to pick up their winnings.

The sooner I can grab him and retrieve it, the sooner I can leave.

I think we both stayed here for far too long.

k*ller/necklace thief alert.

Is that Gil, the owner of the gym?

Yeah.

Ugh.

All right, I'll arrest him.

You grab Tio.

Chloe: Gil.

Drop the bag.

[Gil screams]

Where's my necklace?

Where am I?

Who are you?

What necklace?

The one you stole from me.

Wait.

That was you in the street?

H-How'd we get here?

We flew.

Thought we needed a bit of privacy.

Who are you?

And you, I-I-I sh*t you.

And yet he's standing here alive.

It's shocking, isn't it?

Look, I-I don't want any trouble.

I'll get you a new necklace.

No, see, I want mine.

It's just a necklace.

What's the big deal about it?

Because my father gave it to me!

Gil [stammers]: Look.

Taking the necklace wasn't part of my plan.

So you planned to k*ll the other human?

No, that was a mistake, too.

Aiden was like a son to me.

I got into some money trouble.

I thought of a fix.

Aiden throws his fight.

We bet on it, take home a huge payday.

Both of us.

But the fighter didn't want to play his part, did he?

He said he'd rather walk away from it than throw it.

I went to try to scare him, but Aiden fought back.

I panicked, I sh*t him.

Tried to make it look like a robbery.

That's when I saw you.

I-I didn't know what you'd seen, I'm sorry.

I'm gonna ask you for the last time.

Where...

is my necklace?

It's in the gym.

It's in my safe.

Let's go drop him back at the beach.

Just a moment.

So you k*lled your so-called "son" for refusing to play a part in your plan.

Now, that is just pure evil.

And I should know.

Because I am the King of Evil.

No!

No!

[Air whooshes]

Gil: [Screams]

I did it!

[Crying]: I...

[Groans]

Dan: Where the hell did he come from?

I did it.

I-I k*lled Aiden Scott.

I'm sorry, it's-it's all my fault.

I...

I k*lled him.

Sounds like a confession to me.

Looks like your gamble paid off.

[Handcuffs clicking]

Amenadiel: Luci, why are we back here?

It's time for us to leave.

We've been here on Earth long enough.

Yes, you see, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

[Sighs]

I'm not leaving.

[Chuckles softly]

What?

I'm saying that I've realized something here in this City of Angels.

That I really am no longer one anymore.

[Laughs]

And if that's true, then why am I still trying to please Father?

Eons...

eons...

spent condemned to my fate in Hell, and yet I'm still trying to seek His approval.

Still playing a part in His play.

Well, no more, Brother.

He abandoned me, so why shouldn't I abandon Him?

It's time I fully accept how everyone else sees me: the rebel.

As a wise woman once said to me, "If you really want to rebel, move to L.A." Stop.

Lucifer, as much as I am moved by your sentiment, unfortunately, that's a no.

You are coming back to Hell with me.

There's no discussion.

[Sighs]

Yes, you see...

this is where it gets interesting.

We made a deal, didn't we, for a favor to be named later.

Later is now.

And my ask, it's quite simple.

Leave me be.

You know I can't do that.

Well, isn't it a sin for an angel to break a vow?

[Sighs]: Oh, Luci.

Father will be furious.

And you will suffer His wrath.

Well...

then He knows where to find me.
