05x13 - A Little Harmless Stalking

[bunniefuu]

[Linda]

That's pretty cool, Maze. You're growing a soul.

Amazing.

[chuckles]

And God told you.

Wow.

[Mazikeen on phone]

Well, he didn't "tell" tell me.

I was complaining that a demon can't grow a soul, and God said, "Can't she?"

Annoyingly vague, I know, but there was this glint in his eye, and I just knew.

I had no idea growing a soul was an option.

I mean, I was looking for one like it was a thing I could eat, maybe, or a shimmery cloud that you could breathe in or something, but, nope, I grew it inside my body, like a little soul baby.

Well, having seen a glimpse into how Lucifer's father works, I guess it... It makes sense, right?

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, yeah, right, yeah, that self-actualization bullshit. But now my question is, am I done growing it?

-[tires screech]

-[engine revving]

Uh, Linda, are you listening?

Uh, yes, Maze, of course.

So, do you feel done?

God, therapists... Does everyone answer questions with other questions?

-[tires screech]

-[horns honk]

-What was that?

-Nothing.

Hey, I can't talk right now.

-You're doing it, aren't you?

-What?

Don't even think about lying to me, Linda.

I told you this was a mistake.

You are going to get hurt.

-I know what I'm doing.

-[phone beeps]

Just raise up the tip.

Ahh.

Hello, sailor.

What on earth are you doing?

Enough with these silly distractions, Lucy.
LUCIFER: Excuse me! The impossible bottle is a time-honored craft of which I was recently reminded.

Mm-hmm. And what about the prank you pulled on poor Dan?

LUCIFER: Very important business. It took weeks to plan, and, uh, now that it's over, I think I'm gonna learn the French horn. Been meaning to do that.

 [plays off-key]

Lucy. Lu-- Lucifer! We need to discuss Father. God might be retiring, Lucy. God. We need to figure out what to do if he does.

LUCIFER: Oh, that. Well, if I have been avoiding something, it's certainly not that. Don't get your feathers in a twist. There's nothing to figure out. So Dad's retiring. He's had quite a run, if you ask me.

The world can't be without a God.

You're right. Somebody will replace him. And by somebody, I mean you.

-Me?

LUCIFER: Don't play coy, brother. You've been training for this since you were in angel nappies. God's right hand, the greatest warrior, his bloody favorite son.

Well, you're not wrong there.

LUCIFER: You have wanted this your whole life.

I've never said that.

LUCIFER: You don't need to say it, brother. Words are just words. I know how you feel. [scoffs]
Honey-lemon whiskey sour?

[chuckles]
I took a mixology course the other day. Variety is the spice of life, you know.

Lucifer. Being God isn't simple. mIt's... It's a big job. The biggest. How would I even go about making that decision?

LUCIFER: Well, in situations like these when much is at stake, I like to ask myself, "What's your knee-jerk reaction?" "You obviously want this, so leap before you look."

Maybe that's how you used to act, but, dear brother, you've changed. Don't pretend otherwise.
It's the therapy. Linda has really helped you to be more mindful, to really think things through.

LUCIFER: How dare you! But maybe you're right. Therapy has ruined me! I've been overthinking all of my decisions when really, the answer is at our feet! "Just do it." [chuckles]
Well, not my feet. I'm clearly a Louboutin man, but you know what I mean. Thank you, brother.

[laughs]

-[sniffles]

Okay.

-[horn blows]

[chuckles]

Sorry. It's just, my French horn. I'm just on my way to chuck it out.
What are you doing here?

I need to talk about us. I... I know that I said I could wait until you figured things out, but now I realize that I might not be able to. This whole relationship limbo, it's really hard, you know?
And it's now affecting other people, like Trixie, for one.
And, you know, you are immortal, so that means that I could be waiting for a very long time. Like, forever. But my point is, is that I can't wait, and it's not because you didn't say, you know, those words, 'cause, look, words are just words.
And I think I know how you feel, but I-- Right now, I just-- I need to know. I... One way or another, I need to know if we're together. That's it.

Yes.

-Yes?

-Yes. -Let's just do it.

-What?

It's obvious we want to be together, so let's just stop overthinking it and just be together!

[chuckles]

-Okay.

-[chuckles]

-Let's do it.

-Mmm-mmm.

-Sorry.

-Oh, your horn.

[chuckles]

Mmm.

[both gasp]

♪ This is how we roll... ♪

-Good morning, Miss Lopez.

-Hey.

Shall we?

You know what? No. I am not even gonna ask this time.

Because you two are the couple who cried "relationship," and I am not asking.

Okay, fine. I have to know. Are you together or not?

-We are.
-Definitely together.

[sighs]

Well, it's about damn time. Hey, guys, you're gonna wanna brace yourselves for this one.

[Chloe]

Brace ourselves?

Why?

This seems pretty straightforward.

Yeah.

Vic is Arthur Sterling, the homeowner, g*nsh*t would to the chest.

Safe was broken into, empty, seems like a simple robbery gone wrong.

Yeah, and the m*rder w*apon is a pearl-handled .

stolen from the safe.

It's not the m*rder.

It's the m*rder*r.

It says we already have a full confession from a perp who was on the scene.

Daniel, are you overthinking this?

Careful, it could ruin your life.

Just follow me.

-Okay.

-[Ella]

Hmm?

Aww.

Doctor.

I did it.

I k*lled him.

Daniel, you could have warned us.

Linda, you k*lled that man?

I said I did, didn't I?

Okay.

Why?

I think the more important question is, why is it so hard to take me at my word? Trust issues usually stem from a problematic relationship with a parental figure. Mother, perhaps?

Oh, Detective, don't be fooled by her sneaky therapist ways. She's trying to trick you into overanalyzing your emotions. And before you know it, you'll be second-guessing every decision.
I say we just do it.

-Do what?

-This. Doctor... what is it you desire?

I... I wanna protect my child.

Linda, if someone's trying to hurt Charlie, we can help you. But how is getting arrested for m*rder gonna protect him?

I think our time is up for today.

Okay, well, you've given me no choice. Dr. Linda Martin, you're under arrest for m*rder.

[handcuffs click]

[elevator bell dings]

What the hell is going on here? Please tell me you don't actually believe Linda k*lled somebody.

She confessed, Maze.

You k*ll somebody?

-Yep.

-Who?

It was... Doesn't matter. Impulse crime. It was a crime of impulse.

My kind of crime. All the best decisions are made in the heat of the moment. [chuckles] Hypothetically, of course.

-And how did you k*ll them?

Really good. And hard. All the way dead.

-She's lying.

-We know. The g*n registered to her is a 9  mm, ballistics says the m*rder w*apon is a . .

Not to mention, it's the doctor.

We just don't know why she's lying.

I don't either.

I was talking to her last night and--

-Linda.

-Zip it, Maze.

If you don't tell-- Nope.

-Linda.

-Unh-unh.

Nope.

If you don't tell them, I will.

Well, quite the secret you've been keeping from us. A biological daughter who doesn't know you exist?

Adriana.

And you've been stalking her.

More like... keeping an eye on her.

From a distance.

-Secretly.

-Of course, secretly.

A little harmless stalking never k*lled anyone.

Okay, um... After Maze tracked her down, I... I told myself to be patient.

Wait for her to find me.

But I couldn't help it.

I had to see her.

So you just did it.

One can definitely understand that.

[Linda]

Yes, and good thing I did.

Even from a distance, I could tell she was mixed up in something bad.

Dangerous, even.

Is that why you bought the g*n?

No, I bought that after I was fried by a Goddess and demons took my baby.

But it is why I started carrying it with me.

Okay, Linda, you need to tell us what actually happened last night.

Okay.

So I was tailing Adriana's car... when suddenly she started driving like a crazy person.

I knew something was wrong.

So when she went inside the house... I followed her in, and that's when I saw the body.

Did you see anyone else?

Okay, Linda, um, I hate to say it, but it looks like-- Yeah, I know what it looks like.

That's why I turned myself in.

I know Adriana didn't do this.

She couldn't have.

-Why not?

-Because... Because.

So I'm buying her time to get away while the cops find the actual k*ller.

-Sounds like somebody's in denial.

-[Chloe]

Hmm.

But if that's what your gut's telling you, I'm right with you, Doctor.

Anyhow, we're gonna have to bring her in.

Well, then I hope by now she's far away from here.

She's here.

She doesn't know about me, and she can't find out.

Not like this.

How would she even know who you are?

I met her once, at an open house.

It's a long story, just promise me you won't tell her.

[Lucifer]

Oh.

I did it.

I k*lled him.

Why?

I'm a realtor.

I just sold Mr.

Sterling that house.

I knew he was going to be out of town.

And I knew the combination to his safe.

God, it was just supposed to be a simple robbery.

Nobody was supposed to get hurt.

[shudders]

But Mr. Sterling came home before he was supposed to and... and he caught me red-handed.

So I sh*t him.

Do you have the m*rder w*apon or any of the stolen items?

No.

I got rid of everything right away.

I wasn't going to confess.

But the guilt was too much.

That's all I have to say.

[sighs]

Okay, well, we're gonna need a written statement.

She didn't do it.

I don't know why she's saying this.

Something feels wrong.

Hmm, speaking of things that feel wrong, but the exact opposite, the detective and I are together, and everything feels right.

Neither of us holding anything back, no unidentified feelings of unease.

-What?

-Well... any thoughts? You know, on how splendid that is?

[door opens]

-You know she's lying, right?

-I don't know anything yet.

You said yourself she was the only one you saw at the house, and we have no other leads.

The scary guy.

Scary guy?

He's the reason I thought Adriana was mixed up in something dangerous in the first place.

The other day, I saw her arguing with this big, intense, scary guy.

Well, there you have it.

First name Scary, last name Guy.

Let's go pick him up, Detective.

I memorized his license plate, in case something bad happened.

And it has.

Okay, we can put a BOLO out, but until then, Adriana's gonna have to stay here.

Once we find him, you'll see.

Scary guy.

Definitely the k*ller.

Definitely.

Definitely.

Definitely.

Mm-hmm.

[rock music playing]

All right.

Let's see what you got, Clive.

-[g*nsh*t]

-[grunts]

[coughs]

A beanbag round?

You're not Clive.

[electricity crackles]

[both grunting]

[panting]

[woman grunts]

[panting]

Eve.

Maze.

[exhales]

Funny seeing you here.

[sighs]

Well, that's what you get for bringing a beanbag to a demon fight.

-[groans]

-The hell were you thinking?

[chuckles]

That I'd impress you with my ninja moves.

[laughs]

I didn't, did I?

-What are you doing here, Eve?

-[exhales]

Okay, um... 

[inhales sharply]

[exhales]

You know how I left to go find myself?

Yeah.

Well, I, uh... [inhales sharply]

tried a bunch of stuff, and nothing quite clicked, so I thought back to when I was happiest.
Do you remember that time we went after that guy on that case together?

Vaguely.

Okay, I guess for you it was just another day at the office, but...

[exclaims]

...for me, it was... different, and challenging, and...

[sighs]

...scary.

In a good way.

Anyway, I realized what I had to do to be happy, you know.

It was really quite clear.

I don't know why it took me so long to realize it, but, um... I had to become a bounty hunter.

Okay. Good luck with that.

Wait! Aren't you going after that Clive guy too?

We could go after him together.

I work alone.

Please! [sighs] -I could learn so much from you.

-Oh, good. -You caught me on my mentoring streak.

-Uh-- Seventy-thirty split!

Eighty-twenty?

[sighs]

-Deal.

-[shouts]

Yay!

[clears throat]

So I already checked the place, you know, no real clues as to where he could be, but, um, check this out.

[chuckles]

It's a Hollingshead. His paintings go for hundreds of thousands.

[Mazikeen]

Huh.

What's an expensive piece of art doing in a crappy house in Van Nuys?

[clicks tongue]

Exactly what I'm wondering, Teach.

Don't call me that.

Right.

[man]

Excuse me, where's Adriana?

Who can I talk to about her?

Adriana Nassar.

-Somebody has to know something!

-Excuse me, hi.

I'm the detective on the case.

Can I help you?

Thank you.

[man]

Oh, God, yes.

I'm Adriana's boyfriend.

Owen.

She didn't do it, Detective.

Really?

Yes, I've been hearing that a lot lately.

What?

You gonna confess too?

-What?

-Never mind.

Uh, do you have any actual proof that she's innocent?

No.

I don't.

But I think I know who might have done it.

Really?

Go ahead.

Okay.

Adriana was having money trouble.

Did she tell you?

Uh, no.

She didn't tell us anything, actually.

[sighs]

I think she's afraid.

She took a bad loan.

She got mixed up with some sketchy people.

I overheard her fighting on the phone with one of them earlier.

Do you know, was it a guy named Clive Winter?

No, no, it was a woman.

Jamie.

Jamie.

Okay, well, that gives me enough to work with.

Thank you so much, gentlemen.

-Oh.

-[Amenadiel]

Drinks on the house.

Oh, l'chaim.

Table seven, on me.

So what was that all about?

[Amenadiel] Ah, just, uh... just doing some research.

On what?

Unflattering headgear?

You don't wanna know, trust me. It's a lot to take in.

DAN: Bro, I've had my mind blown, figuratively and literally, so pretty sure I can handle it.

-I think I'm gonna become God.

-[splutters]

I'm sor-- What?

Well, my father... he's retiring, and it appears that I'm the obvious successor.

So that was a little celestial homework. A focus group, if you will. Asking people what they would like to see in a god.

But enough about me, Dan. How are you doing, buddy?

Have you recovered from Lucifer's prank yet?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I'm having a little trouble focusing on-- I'm sorry. Freaking God?
You're suddenly gonna become the father of, like... the whole world?
It's a little intimidating, honestly.

Sure, I'm sure, bro.

DAN: Talk about a promotion. I couldn't even handle lieutenant. I'm more of a "boots on the ground" type.
I like the nitty-gritty, day-to-day stuff. But you're a big picture guy. You're perfect for this. The sky's the limit, except not.

[exhales]

Hey, congratulations, man. I'm happy for you.

Thanks.

[rock music playing]

All right, so, the painting Maze saw at Clive's house traces back to this gallery.

-The owner's name is-- -Jamie.

Is it Jamie?

Say it's Jamie.

Right, and we're in a tizzy, why?

That's who the boyfriend said Adriana fought with on the phone.

And she's connected with the guy I saw threatening my daughter?

Shady.

Shady.

Let's get her to 'fess up.

Linda.

You said I could ride along because my knowledge of the case could come in handy.

To be fair, you did say you'd tail us if we didn't bring you.

[sighs]

I do think your privileged intel is valuable to the case, but you can't be there when we interview a suspect.

Okay, fine.

I'll stay right here, then.

Oh.

Why don't you stay here with Linda?

Keep her company.

Of course.

Whatever you need, honey.

[chuckles]

[exhales]

Did you notice the words of endearment between the detective and me? As I mentioned previously, we're together.

Uh-huh.

"Together" together. Completely committed, no more will-they-won't-they shenanigans.
So... [sighs] And since you insist on asking, it's going swimmingly.

I know what you're doing, and it's not gonna work.

What am I doing?

Trying to get me to ask about your relationship so we can discuss whatever emotional reservations you're having. In case you haven't noticed, I'm a little preoccupied with something else.

Emotional reservations, why would I have any? Actually, no. Don't answer that. The last thing I need is your professional opinion. In fact, I've realized that therapy has been a complete waste of my time.

-Oh, my God.

-[sighs]

[scraping]

Look.

Look, that's the exact same van I saw at one of the houses Adriana sold.

Absurd.

What kind of art is transported in a flower van?

The stolen kind.

No, no, no, the detective told us to wait for her here.

What happened to Mr. I-follow-my-gut?

Ooh!

[grumbles]

Therapists.

Always using your own words against you.

[huffs]

Fine.

But we are following my impulsive lead.

Okay.

Jamie Evington?

Are you the owner?

Detective Decker.

Can I ask you a few questions?

What about?

Do you know Adriana Nassar?

I don't.

Well, didn't she sell your Malibu home?

Oh.

[chuckles]

That Adriana.

I barely interacted with her.

And what about Clive Winter?

Does that name ring a bell?

No.

Sorry.

That's weird, 'cause he has a painting from your gallery in his house.

A lot of people have Hollingsheads.

I didn't say it was a Hollingshead.

It's most of my business.

I just assumed.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have clients to tend to.

-[Lucifer sighs]

-[huffs]

Really, darling, I can pick anything?

Oh, absolutely, darling.

Van Gogh ahead.

[Linda chuckles]

-[gasping]

-[Lucifer]

Oh!

Oh!

Yes!

That would look exquisite next to your vanity, sweetie.

Oh, the colors are so... colorful.

[chuckles]

[Jamie]

Good eye.

The artist chose a vibrant palette to express the complexity of the couple's emotion.

Or maybe it's not complex at all. I bet there's nothing but bliss between these two. No matter how much my dear Linda insists on over-analyzing.

The only thing I'm getting is that she's worried about her daughter, and that he keeps making everything about himself.

What a bold and... oddly specific interpretation.

[Lucifer hesitates]

-That is what I love about art.

-[Linda gasps]

It is so subjective.

-Isn't it?

[chuckles]

-Yeah.

-I will give you a few to ponder over it.

-[chuckles]

What are we doing?

Clearly Jamie is running an art theft operation.

-Doesn't mean she k*lled Sterling.

-She didn't.

Clive did.

He's her muscle.

Don't you see?

I mean-- [exhales]

He and Jamie must have strong-armed Adriana into their crime scheme, using her to gain access into high-end houses with valuable art.

Perhaps, but without any proof, we don't have any leverage, so let's just leave it to the professionals, shall we?

[chuckles]

[Jamie]

So?

Is the lovely couple interested in the lovely couple?

-[both laugh]

-Well, actually, uh... we were wondering if you had something a tad more exclusive? We understand you have a talent for acquiring art that is... softly] ...otherwise engaged.

Hmm.

I see.

And, uh, what is it that you are in the market for?

-Matisse.

-Monet.

Well, either is fine. We collect impressionists that start with the letter "M," don't we?
As long as they're unattainable, elusive, prohibitive, beyond reach.

I usually only work with direct referrals.

Well, I can assure you we are very reliable clients. I always like to put my Monet where my mouth is.

[chuckles]

Actually, you know what?

I think we'll take the happy couple too.

Yeah.

Okay, then.

Victor at the front desk will take care of the details for this one, and... I'll be in touch about the impressionists.

Lovely.

[sighs]

For you, Detective. Call it an impulse buy.

Thank you. Never got a present from a sting before.

You're very welcome.

Sting?

How was that a sting? We got diddly squat. Why aren't you mad that we went rogue?

-Because we didn't.

-[Linda]

Huh?

Lucifer secretly called me when you went into the gallery.

I heard the whole thing.

The detective listened in whilst we charmed Jamie.Well, I charmed. You babbled mostly.

Okay, then you know about the fake floral van and the stolen canvas?

Mm-hmm.

I had a feeling your knowledge of the case would come in handy.

Okay, then you agree.

Clive's the k*ller, and my daughter is innocent.

Yes, except why would Adriana take the fall for Clive if she wasn't involved somehow?

Because Ice Queen Jamie must have been threatening her. Didn't you see how intimidating she is?
Bet she could cr*ck a nut with a Kegel.

That's why I needed Lucifer to cr*ck her.

Doctor, what did I tell you about leaving it to the pros?

The plan is already in motion.

Right, Detective?

Yes, I called in a phone tap warrant after you baited her.

Now all we need to do is wait for Jamie to call Clive, task him with the search of our Monet.

Uh-huh.

Ping his cell, bring him in, now with leverage.

-If Adriana won't tell us what's going on...

-Maybe Clive will.

[both chuckle]

See, Doctor?

Perfect match.

[both chuckle]

Ahh, Charlie.

[sniffs, groans]

[chuckles]

Hey.

Hey.

Everything go okay?

Oh, yeah.

ELLA: Totes. It was so much fun. And you know I absolutely adore Charlie, but, uh, I will say, I don't know how you guys do this all day, every day, like, every day.

Yeah. It gets easier with practice. And, you know, I... -I actually really enjoy the nitty-gritty.
-Hmm. The day-to-day, the magical stuff. It... I don't know, it happens in the small moments, you know?

Well, that was cheesy.

I'm sorry, I, uh... [chuckles]

No, you know what?

I-- I totally get it. God is in the details.

[chuckles]

Speaking of God... -Can I ask you something?

-Yeah.

Is there anything that you would change about him, you know, if you could?

ELLA: Change?About God?

-Hmm.

ELLA: No.I mean, that's the whole point of faith. Acceptance.

Right, but... just for argument's sake. Imagine if God was standing right here in front of you, asking you... "How can I do a better job?" There's gotta be something you would say.

ELLA: No.No.I mean... God is always there for me.Always.
[chuckles] He loves me. Probably more than anyone should, really.

What does that mean?

ELLA: I have... I have a lot of darkness. And the big guy knows and... he doesn't care.
He's all good. Which is why I don't deserve him.

AMENADIEL I disagree, Ella. I do. You see, I think if God was standing right here, right now, in front of you, that he would tell you to take some of that faith that you have in him... and put it in yourself.

ELLA: That's... Thank you for saying that, Amenadiel. I... I'm gonna try.

-Okay.

[chuckles]

-[sighs]

I'm gonna try.

[Eve exhales]

So, why do we think this Clive guy's here?

Well, the cops traced a call that artsy-fartsy bitch made to him.

His cell number pinged near this shady warehouse that I'm very familiar with.

-[Eve]

Hmm.

-Call it an educated guess.

[Eve]

Right.

Smart.

Good place to store stolen art.

Tell me, why is it you chose this place to stake it out?

Because we can see him coming without him seeing us.

Wow.

Here you go.

What's this for?

Oh, it's a flash grenade.

We're not gonna need a flashbang.

This is a stakeout.

Smart.

Good insight.

See, this is exactly why I'm shadowing you.

-[chuckles]

So much to learn.

-Okay, know what?

Stop.

-What?

-This whole novice act, okay?

-I'm not buying it.

-What?

I saw you fight back there.

You know what you're doing.

So why are you here, Eve?

[sighs]

EVE: All right, look, this whole "finding yourself" business is really freakin' hard, okay?
It's not like you turn a corner and "Whoop, there I am!" I had to really think about when I was happiest.

Yeah. Bounty hunting. You covered that earlier.

EVE: Except I... kind of left some stuff out.

[exhales] Okay, after I became a bounty hunter, I realized my happiness had nothing to do with the job.[sighs] I was happy because I was with you.

I know.  Duh.

EVE: And I had no idea how to get you back. So I looked you up.
I saw you were on this Clive bounty and came up with this wacky plan. I engineered an encounter. I thought maybe it would be romantic. But then, when you took my mask off, you didn't exactly jump into my arms. You looked real mad. Like, real mad. So I panicked, and I, uh, lied.I'm sorry.

Of course I was mad. You broke my heart.

I did?

[chuckles]

That's awesome.

I mean, that's awful. Awful. I'm-- I'm real sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.
But I'm here now. And I wanna be with you.

[door opens]

Someone's here.

Hey, check it out, this was opened.

Is Eve okay?

Um, I hope so.

She's in surgery at the moment.

Told you Clive was a scary guy.

And Jamie's muscle in the burglary scheme.

Right on both counts.

Maybe I should become a police consultant.

[chuckles]

So are they letting Adriana go now?

Well, it seems that you were right about something else.

Adriana was part of the scheme.

She was the one who told Jamie and Clive about the houses that were ripe for the robbing.

Yeah, because they were forcing her to, like I said.

So who's our new suspect?

There is... There is a new suspect, right?

Maze found the m*rder w*apon at the warehouse with the stolen items.

It had Adriana's prints on it.

Come on, no. No, it can't be.

Why not? And please don't say "because."

Because! Because if it is, I'm to blame. It's my fault she's broken.

[sighs]

[hesitates]

Anyway.

Enough with the bad news. On to what really matters. The detective and I just had-- A spat!

A spat, I know!

I saw.

I know, and now you want me to weigh in on your relationship. That's all this has been from the start, isn't it? You never really cared about helping me. You just needed a ride-along therapist. For once, I needed you to care about someone other than yourself, to care about me! You know what? Lucifer, you're right. Therapy has failed. I've failed. You're just as selfish and self-absorbed as you--

What is she doing here?

Like I was saying... the detective and I just had a chat, and we decided to talk to Adriana again.

But all the evidence points to her.

You think she's guilty.

But you don't. My self-centeredness aside, I am trying to help. We all are. And we're not giving up.

So... shall we see what your daughter has to say?

[Adriana]

Nothing.

I have nothing to say.

I wrote down everything I know.

Well, we looked at your statement and did some legwork.

There are some pieces missing that we would like you to fill in.

Just close the investigation already.

I did it.

That's all I'm gonna say.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Tell me, Adriana.

What is it you desire?

I want... to protect my mother.

[Adriana]

My mother's sick. She has been for a while. The treatment is expensive.

Is that why you're having money troubles?

Owen told us that.

Yeah.

I mortgaged my condo, depleted my savings.I had nothing left.

Then you met Miss Thomas Crown Affair.

-Jamie approached you, didn't she?

-[Adriana]

She said I'd make fast cash.

She promised no one would get hurt.

She convinced you to give up your clients' alarm codes, where the valuables were, and when they wouldn't be home?

And Clive did the dirty work?

I tried to back out.

-I did.

-But they threatened you?

They said they'd k*ll my mom.

[inhales]

I felt trapped.

I was looking for a way out when I suddenly heard about a last-minute change in Mr. Sterling's travel plans.

He was coming home early, on the night that Clive was supposed to rob his place.

I panicked.

You tried to warn Clive?

Is that why you texted him?

Texted him?

No, I called him, and he wasn't picking up, so I rushed over to the house and... it was too late.

Clive must have been surprised by Mr. Sterling and k*lled him.

Except Clive wasn't stripping down Mr. Sterling's house.

He was at some strip club on The Strip.

[Chloe]

Records show he was in Vegas that night.

According to him, you called the sting off early.

He said you texted him Friday night.

Friday?

No, I didn't even hear about Mr. Sterling's change of plans until Saturday.

-Right before I rushed over to the house.

-[Lucifer sighs]

I was at the movies on Friday night.

I didn't... Please, you have to believe me.

All I want is to protect my mom. All of this, I did for her.

Got it.

Thanks.

Hey!

So Adriana's mom's safe.

Did you find Linda?

No, it appears she's left.

Probably got too emotional for her.

Yeah.

ELLA: Oh, hi. Control Freak Lopez for the win! So, I myself didn't personally process the m*rder w*apon the first time around, so I said, "Know what? I should take another look," and winner, winner, chicken dinner!
The g*n was wiped down, you guys. And there was just one Adriana fingerprint on it.

That's fishy.

ELLA: And for the double whammy, I also found methyl acrylate on the g*n. A drug I've never heard of or done.

Now that's fishy.

ELLA: Oh, no. It's not a drug. It's a substance found on the sticky side of Scotch tape.

Someone used the tape to transfer the print to the g*n. So Adriana was framed.

By Clive?

I don't think so, I checked the phone records.

He's not lying.

Clive did receive a text from Adriana calling off the job.

-Doesn't mean Adriana sent it.

-[Chloe]

Right.

Who else had access to her phone when she was in the movies?

If only the doctor were still here.

She'd probably know, with all her stalking and whatnot.

[sighs]

I think I know who did this.

And that's a bad thing?

Only if Linda figured it out too.

-[Lucifer mutters]

-Okay.

[Linda]

Owen.

You need to turn yourself in.

I got no idea who you are and no idea what you're talking about.

I'm someone who actually cares about Adriana, not someone who pretends to care while framing her for m*rder.

-Wait, what?

-I saw you step out of the theater.

I thought, "Aww, so polite, he doesn't wanna text during the movie."

Well, polite my ass.

You were texting Clive on Adriana's cell, telling him the sting was off, so you could take the spoils for yourself.

You k*lled Mr. Sterling.

Give me the g*n before somebody throws you in the loony bin.

No, not until you confess.

[chuckles]

You think I won't sh**t, huh?

Oh, I get it.

I look like a good person.

Well, I'm not.

I've been a terrible mother.

I've done nothing for Adriana her entire life.

This is the one thing I can do, so I'm saving her from you.

One way or another.

[Chloe]

Linda!

Put down the g*n.

I can't let him get away with this.

He framed Adriana!

T-this woman is nuts.

Careful, that woman is a doctor, and an excellent one at that.

-Linda.

-But-- [scoffs]

Why would I frame my own girlfriend?

I was the one that told you she was innocent, Detective.

You're also the one who pointed the finger at Jamie, which led us to the warehouse and the m*rder w*apon that you planted, which was smart, but now we have forensic evidence that Adriana's print was transferred to the g*n.

You're under arrest.

[Owen]

No.

You did it, Doctor.

You saved your daughter.

-[exhales]

-[sobs]

Thank you.

Hey.

You look really familiar.

Do I know you?

No, I don't think so.

Didn't you come to an open house a while back?

I'm a realtor.

Oh.

Right.

Uh, maybe.

Maybe.

If you're wondering what I'm doing here at the police station, I just, um... These are my friends.

And, uh, they were helping me with something... important.

That's nice.

They helped me too.

Could have been really bad if they hadn't.

Yeah.

I mean, that's nice.

Well, I guess I should be going.

Hey.

I'm glad you're okay.

Thanks.

[sighs]

All right, Lucifer, you have my undivided attention.

What is it you wanted to talk about?

The only thing I want to talk about is you.

So.

Have you told her you're her mom yet?

No.

I'm being... respectful.

Well, in the words of a wise woman I know, that sounds an awful lot like avoidance to me.

Boundaries are important.

Says the stalker.

[both chuckle]

Why didn't you tell her, Doctor?

I do think it should be her choice.

But if I'm being honest, I guess... I'm afraid.

Of rejection, I just... Not that I have a relationship with her now, I just... I don't know.

It doesn't make any sense.

It makes perfect sense.

You want to know her, to be with her, it's everything you've ever wanted, but you can't completely open yourself up because deep down you actually believe that you don't... deserve her love.

Because she's so perfect, and... you're just, well... unworthy.

Awfully insightful of you, Lucifer.

Maybe you should become a therapist.

[chuckles]

[inhales shakily]

[shudders]

[groans]

Oh, that was a mistake.

Well, you're looking less like death.

Ha!

Thank you.

[chuckles]

You know, back there when you got sh*t... I hated that.

Yeah, it wasn't great for me either.

[chuckles]

I never felt like that before.

It was weird.

New, and I was...

[Eve]

Afraid?

Yeah.

I guess.

I mean, I've felt fear before, but that was a whole... other level.

Maze, are you saying what I think you're saying?

I wanna be with you too, Eve.

[sighs]

[both laugh]

There's something I want you to have.

Okay, it's... Call it a family heirloom, if you will.

I just... I just got it back from Lucifer.

[chuckles]

I don't do fear, so this should take care of that.

It has my mother's immortality in it.

So I think it will protect you.

This will make me immortal?

Mm-hmm.

Hopefully.

-I almost lost you again.

-[sighs]

And I've never hurt like that before.

I guess I have grown a soul.

But if this is what a soul feels like, I don't wanna feel it again.

Sweetie, I... I don't wanna live forever.

Why the hell not?

Because I saw what it did to my son, Cain.

You saw it too.

Mortality is a gift.

It makes you appreciate life.

Just like fear made you appreciate me.

-[Mazikeen huffs]

-[sighs]

-No, I can't accept this.

-No, you have to.

You have to.

Okay?

Or I can't do this.

-What?

-I'm trying to protect you.

No, you're trying to protect yourself.

I almost lost you, Eve.

I can't lose you again.

Don't you understand?

I love you.

Maze, I love you too, very much.

[Mazikeen gasps]

That's why this is so scary.

But we have to embrace that.

[Mazikeen gasps]

I can't.

[shudders]

-Yes, you can.

-I'm sorry.

-M-Maze...

-[exhales]

Maze.

-[cooing]

-[laughs]

-Yeah?

I got you.

-[knock on door]

[Adriana]

Hi.

Linda, right?

Hi.

The police weren't helping you, were they?

You were helping them with my case.

Uh... I just wanted to say thank you.

It was no big deal.

Would you like to come in?

Sure.

Okay.

Also, there was an anonymous donation made to the clinic where my mom is being treated.

A very generous one.

Well, that's-- that's wonderful news.

There's something I've been wanting to tell you.

You're my mom.

Aren't you?

How did you know?

When you're adopted, you look at everybody who resembles you even a little bit.

Everybody who's in the right age range.

And you wonder.

So that day that I went to the open house.

I had my suspicions.

You and that other lady acted so weird.

 [laughs]

I wanted to tell you.

But I... I didn't know if you'd want me.

I thought I should let you come to me.

Well... [inhales deeply]

Well... here I am.

[chuckles]

Here you are.

[Charlie babbling]

You have a baby?

I do.

Would you like to meet him?

Okay.

Okay.

Oh!

Ooh-ooh!

Okay.

[clicks tongue]

This is Charlie.

[exhales]

[both chuckle]

Hiya.

Hi, Charlie.

[laughs]

Oh, my God.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi, Charlie.

I'm your sister.

[bangs table]

That's the kind of God you're gonna be, isn't it?

-Grave and weary.

-[chuckles]

It's just, I thought I would be so eager to take Father's place, you know?

But instead, I'm having doubts.

I think I actually understand.

You feel unworthy.

Uh, no.

That's not it.

I definitely feel worthy.

Who else would be?

Nah, it's just, I spent so much time looking down on humanity.

And now...

[exhales]

Lucy, I love living amongst them.

I've finally learned how to connect.

Built a life here.

Made friends.

A family.

If I'm being honest, I... don't want any of that to change.

So what, you're thinking of backing out?

No.

That would be selfish, Lucy.

I must embrace my celestial duty.

-You should do what makes you happy.

-How I wish it were that simple.

Well, maybe it can be.

That is, if someone else were willing to take the responsibility.

Someone worthy.

Who?

Me, of course!

[chuckles]

This is exactly what I need to prove myself.

-What?

-You heard me, brother.

I've just decided.

I'm going to be God.
