Lucifer (2016) s03e20 Episode Script
The Angel of San Bernardino
1 - Previously on Lucifer - God cursed Cain because he killed his own brother.
PIERCE: She's the key to finally getting - what I've always wanted.
- Just wish I knew that Pierce's intentions were pure.
If you want to take it slow, that's okay, but from where I stand, I'm all in.
I told you not to talk to Charlotte.
She's a human woman who isn't ready to hear what you have to say.
I was in Hell.
And that's insane.
Charlotte, do you have a minute? At this point, things can't get any crazier.
MAZE: I am done with Earth in general.
I want to go home.
Last time I took someone on a celestial Uber ride, the detective almost died.
You're afraid of your daddy? You are gonna regret this.
I can help us both get what we want.
[GLASS SHATTERS.]
MAN: Where's my money? MAN 2: I just don't have it.
I lost it.
MAN: What do you mean you lost it? Where is it? MAN 2: What do you want me to say? OPERATOR: 9-1-1.
What is your emergency? - Hello? People are fighting in my house.
- MAN 2: Come on, Kevin.
- Kevin, stop.
- [GUNSHOT.]
[GASPS, GRUNTS.]
[PRAYING IN SPANISH.]
WOMAN: Oh Good morning, Detective Decker.
- Good morning, Lieutenant Pierce.
- Hey.
Have you seen the evidence closet? Uh no.
Wow.
This is a great closet.
And, um [MOANING.]
Oh, yeah.
Get some, Decker.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Look at that.
It's always nice to start the day nose to nose, isn't it? Speaking of, you'll never guess what happened to me last night, Detective.
- What's that? - [SIGHS.]
I woke up alone.
- And? - [SIGHS.]
It's funny because I usually don't, because I usually have women over, or men, or both for sex.
[CHUCKLING.]
: Okay.
[SCOFFS.]
Will he be coming with you from now on? Because he is killing our banter.
Absolutely not, no.
Pierce and I only came Drove together just this one time.
One time.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
- Right.
- Apparently the victim's from a well-connected family.
The suits downtown want me to keep them in the loop.
Don't worry, I won't interfere with the investigation, - or the, uh, dream team.
- Uh-uh.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Okay.
Shall we? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Uh you have DNA on your shirt.
What? Oh um Oh, weird.
[MUTTERING.]
Hey, Ella, what's up? You tell me what's up, player.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
So, dead guy? There must be an I.
D.
Right.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Here lies Kevin Winstead of the Winsteads.
34 years old.
The Winsteads? The wealthy real estate family from New York.
Oh.
So, what's he doing getting killed in such a crappy neighborhood? Apparently, he rented a room here.
Not sure why he would, but Kevin was notoriously the black sheep of the Winstead clan.
Heroin addiction.
Although from the looks of these healed track marks, it appears that Kevin might have gone clean recently.
Not an easy thing to do.
And, apparently, a waste of his time.
What was the cause of death? Gunshot wound to the chest.
- Shot during a home invasion robbery? - Maybe.
But the killer never got around to taking anything.
Got interrupted by the house's owner.
WOMAN: Oh, that poor boy.
He seemed nice.
- Why don't you tell me what happened.
- I was sleeping, and I heard glass breaking, so I went down to check it out.
And then I heard arguing.
Uh, what were they arguing about? The voices were muffled, but I did hear someone say, "Kevin, stop.
" So, the intruder knew the victim.
The former heroin addict had nefarious friends.
- Shocking.
- Did you get a good look at the guy? He was wearing a mask.
I would be dead for sure if God hadn't sent that angel to protect me.
CHLOE: So, there was someone else in the house.
Not another person.
An angel, who saved me.
It-it flew in here, and it just chased the evil man away.
[LUCIFER LAUGHS.]
I'm sorry, sorry, it's just the only thing my siblings would chase away are a good time.
I have proof.
The angel he took one of my figurines.
Hmm? Gabriel.
Right.
Try lending him some money.
Your tune changes rather quickly.
Mrs.
Hernandez, why don't we get you checked out at the hospital? - Thank you.
- Yes.
All right, let's do a background check on Kevin.
Let's see if he had issues with anybody.
Keep an eye out for this angelic witness.
Hey, maybe it was one of your brothers.
[CHUCKLES, SIGHS.]
Seriously, is it one of your brothers? Preposterous.
My Father doesn't send my siblings down - to intervene in petty robberies in Pacoima.
- [PHONE RINGING.]
He only sends them to harass me.
Oh, and speaking of Hello? Right, I'm here.
What's so dastardly important? Okay, Luci, I think we made a mistake revealing divinity to Charlotte Richards.
[LAUGHS.]
We? It was your idea.
But now I'm having second thoughts.
What if she tells someone? Oh, no, you're right.
'Cause then that person might tell someone else, who then might tell someone else, which could lead to absolutely nothing happening 'cause no one will believe her.
Okay, look, you might not care, Luci, but the concept of divinity is too big for humans to handle.
We don't know what she's gonna do now that she knows.
And I don't care.
You're right.
Oh, question, brother.
You don't happen to know if any of our siblings might be in town? Not that I'm aware of.
Ah.
Why? Oh, it's probably nothing.
Just an old woman in some unremarkable home said an angel broke into her house.
Saved her life.
Stole one of her hideous figurines.
All that trouble for one ordinary human? [CHUCKLES.]
: Yeah.
I mean, it would have to be one very bored or deeply confused angel.
[LAUGHS.]
Yea I mean, there must be some sort of reasonable explanation.
And you don't remember how the figurine - got into your bedroom? - No.
I mean, maybe it's a housewarming gift or or a sex toy.
Or a housewarming gift sex toy.
I just [LAUGHS.]
And it's identical to the one missing - from that woman's house? - Yes.
But it's coincidence, surely.
You've been complaining about having weird dreams lately.
Including one where you couldn't control your wings.
I've also dreamt I was king of the centaur people.
Doesn't mean I'm gonna start wearing horseshoes.
There have been instances where people sleepwalk when they're having difficulty dealing with painful situations.
Or, inversely, not dealing with them.
Is it possible you're not dealing with something, and, thus, sleepflying? That's absurd.
I mean, what in the world - could I not be dealing with? - I don't know.
Chloe and Pierce, maybe? Perhaps you're not as okay with that relationship as you think.
Look, I am not an idiot, Doctor.
Clearly, I don't love them together, But I'm also not a 16-year-old crying in my bedroom with Adele on repeat.
[LAUGHS.]
And I'm definitely not this angel.
And, I know just how to prove it.
PIERCE: This was nice.
This was Crap.
Wow, not even remotely close to what I thought you were gonna say.
No, no, the time.
We got to go.
What? Why? Trixie's gonna be home any minute.
And you don't want her to see me here.
Look, you're pretty much the first person that I've dated since Dan.
I haven't introduced Trixie to anybody.
And I just don't want to do that until I'm sure.
And it's not that I'm not sure.
I just, I-I want to be ready, and I want to know.
You know? Maybe I shouldn't have said all that.
- Anyhow - What's the prob Listen, fast or slow, whatever the speed, I'm into this.
If you haven't figured it out, Chloe, I'm in I like you.
[PHONE CHIMING.]
Sorry.
- [CLEARS THROAT.]
- Oh, it's Lucifer.
- Of course it is.
- Got to go.
Ah! Good, you're here.
We need to find the killer.
Is this that super important thing you said you needed to talk to me about? Yes, because this case is of the utmost importance to me now.
- Really? Why? - Because if, in the miniscule realm of possibility, that crazy old lady did, in fact, see an angel, I need to prove that the angel wasn't me.
I think I can help with that.
It wasn't you.
Well, I'm sure you're probably right.
And when the killer confirms as such, I'll be one happy Devil.
So, come on, chop-chop.
What do we got? [SIGHS.]
Okay, two days ago, Kevin checked out of a high-end rehab facility Sunrise Sands.
And according to this incident report, he got into a pretty nasty fight with a fellow resident right before he left A guy named Phil Goldstein.
Yeah, come on.
I'm driving.
I know you've been waiting You've been waiting all your life I know what you're thinking I can see it in your eyes LUCIFER: I don't understand why humans waste so much time resisting their desires.
A rehabilitation center for drugs and sex.
[LAUGHS.]
CHLOE: Mr.
Goldstein? Detective Chloe Decker, LAPD.
We'd like to ask you a few questions about Kevin Winstead.
The answer's yes he's a douchebag.
Did you know that he was murdered? No, but it's nice to get good news for a change.
The admin office said that you were gone for a few hours last night during the time of Kevin's murder.
So, would you like to tell us where you were? I went for a drive.
We're not prisoners here.
Can anyone confirm that? If producing nine legal shows taught me anything, it's that I don't have to say jack without a lawyer.
If you'll excuse me while I go take a crap.
- What are you doing? - Actually, Phil, I've had enough of your crap! Now, I know that you killed Kevin Winstead, and then an angel interrupted your escape.
So, tell me, what did he look like? - Lucifer.
- Man, what the hell are you talking about, man? Did he look like me?! Lucifer, stop.
I did not kill Kevin.
[PANTING.]
But you guys did fight, right? That is only 'cause Kevin took this rehab stuff so seriously.
The rest of us? It's a smoke screen.
Keep our wives and jobs at bay.
But Kevin wouldn't shut up about getting clean, getting his family back.
He drove me nuts.
So I punched him.
Get his family back? I His parents are dead, and he wasn't married.
I don't know about any of that.
Where were you last night? Answer her.
Uh, uh Uh, with hookers.
That's why I'm in here.
I'm a sex addict.
[CHUCKLES.]
- CHLOE: Ah.
- It's court-ordered.
Anyway, you know, two steps forward, one step back, right? Hey, what was that about? It's nothing.
That was not nothing.
Talk to me.
Look, I just haven't been sleeping well.
That's all but never mind that, what's next? What's next is you take the afternoon off.
Get some rest.
What? I'd rather go and find the killer.
It's not a suggestion, Lucifer.
Look, I'm gonna spend the rest of the day poring through Kevin's file, trying to figure out who his family is.
We probably won't know anything until tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow? Go home.
You're tired.
Okay.
Fine.
But, only if I can borrow these.
Well, I promise I'll bring them back.
Please don't.
Ew.
[GRUNTING.]
[EXHALES.]
[LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
AMENADIEL: Luci.
Lucifer.
[GRUNTS.]
- Wake up.
- [GROANS.]
Ugh.
No offense, brother, but on the list of things I'd like to wake up to, your face falls somewhere after a horse's head and Coldplay tickets.
I just came to show you this.
What? "The Angel of San Bernardino"? See, I thought that maybe one of our siblings was in town.
But, Luci, it appears that, uh I am the angel.
"Witnesses say the unknown Samaritan "appeared to have wings.
Sort of flew in like" This is ludicrous.
It-it can't be me.
Can it? Luci.
Just look around.
Look at your hands.
I think it is you, and I think it's all my fault.
In what possible way is this your fault? Because I made you show your wings to Charlotte.
Reveal divinity.
And now, Father is punishing us for it.
Look, Father making me do angelic deeds is a divine kick in the nuts to me.
Well, my punishment must be forthcoming.
- What? - And who knows in what form it will come.
Don't be ridiculous.
You or I aren't being punished for Charlotte Richards, same as I wasn't punished for revealing myself to Linda.
Okay, well, then, how do you explain all of this? Well, it's obvious, isn't it? It's just more manipulation.
Quite possibly, Dad's master plan all along.
I mean, first, he makes me look the part of an angel.
And then, he forces me to act it in my sleep.
I don't know, Luci.
Well, if working with the detective has taught me anything, it's that I need proof.
Only the killer can say for certain if it was me.
So I'm off to work.
- Might have a shower and stuff first, huh? - Yeah.
I'll get some takeout, because being with you is the dessert.
It's a date.
Can't wait to see you later.
#Dyingofcuteness.
How long have you been there? Long enough to hear how totally adorbs that was.
Sounds like things are going really well.
They are.
But But There's a "but" in there.
I think she's holding back.
She hasn't said the magic words.
What magic words? You know.
Those three little words.
Rhymes with "my guv boo.
" She hasn't said them, yeah.
You and I, we're the same.
The rock that people break themselves against, and you know what happens to rocks like us? When we fall, ooh, we fall really hard.
Kind of a scary place, huh? But don't worry, LT.
When the time is right, she'll say them.
And, when she finally does [IMITATES EXPLOSION.]
Everything will change.
I'm counting on it.
Hmm.
Your casserole tastes like roadkill.
[GROANS.]
Oh, and you.
Stop telling stories about your children, 'cause no one cares.
[SCOFFS.]
Hmm, Sally.
Oh, Charlotte.
It's not the clothes that make you look fat.
It's the fat.
- Ugh.
- Yeah.
Oof.
And you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
You are pretty great, actually.
Uh, thanks? And you.
You are coming with me.
Okay.
CHLOE: Mrs.
Bell, this is a copy of your son's birth certificate.
It says that Kevin Winstead is the father.
Kevin and I dated years ago.
We were going to get married after I got pregnant with Jackson.
But I called it off at the last minute.
[JACKSON SCREAMS.]
- NANNY: Jackson, stop.
- Oh, no, no, no! - No, no.
- JACKSON: No, no, no! - NANNY: Get off the floor.
- I got it.
Yeah, and people choose to procreate.
I'm afraid my son has Kevin's temper.
But you are the one with the assault charges.
I did my share of drugs with Kevin.
I'm not proud of who I was then.
LUCIFER: Right.
The drugs made you wild.
Which is why I stopped using.
But Kevin liked getting high more than he loved me.
Our relationship became toxic.
So I left.
CHLOE: And when was the last time - you spoke to Kevin? - It's been years.
'Cause it says here on the phone records that he called here three months ago? Every now and then, he would call, asking for money.
For drugs.
So, whenever I would see his name on the caller I.
D.
, I would just hand the phone to Jeremy.
And did Kevin mention having trouble with anyone? A drug dealer, maybe? Last time we spoke, he said he owed somebody a lot of money.
I didn't care to ask who.
Right.
Well, I'm not saying this was a complete waste of time, but it was.
- [COUGHS.]
- [GROANS.]
Mm.
So so then, I said, "You can stick that brief in the circular file under your robe.
" [BOTH LAUGH.]
Hint: it's his butt.
Aren't you worried about the fallout? I had a big revelation recently, and it's completely changed my perspective on well, everything.
It's liberating.
Another round.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no.
No, thank you.
- I should go.
- Relax.
- You only live once.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Or [LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
twice, in my case.
Look, I would love to, but if I show up back to work completely hammered, there's gonna be hell to pay.
I got you covered.
I'll put in a word with the big guy.
With Pierce? No, think bigger.
The commissioner? It's an anadrome for D-O-G.
[LAUGHING.]
: I love how weird you are.
But I should go.
Or, you could duck into that closet, take off all your clothes.
I'll go freshen up.
Meet you in there.
Then, do the same.
That's really not a good idea.
Ow They call it magic They call it dynamite [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Come in.
When you get it right, so bad.
Oh.
What are you doing in here? Uh, I'm was - I'm calling the police.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't do that, don't do that, please - [MOUTHS.]
- I am the police.
If I could just, um [BADGE CLATTERS.]
Right there.
I don't understand.
Why is it taking so long to find Kevin Winstead's drug contacts on your computer thingy? It's easier said than done, Lucifer.
Well, the man is a degenerate.
He must have been arrested a thousand times.
Rich families like the Winsteads, they're all about appearances.
And they've been covering Kevin's run-ins with the law since he was a teenager.
Look, getting a hit, it might take some time.
So why don't you go home, get some sleep and [QUIETLY.]
: Look, I can't.
[WHISPERS.]
: Why? Because if I am this Angel of San Bernardino, and I go to sleep, then I might do it again.
Okay, well, just don't sleep then.
Hold on.
That is an excellent plan, Detective.
I'll just never sleep again.
["TURN DOWN FOR WHAT" BY DJ SNAKE AND LIL JON PLAYING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Turn down for what? Turn down for what? Turn down for what? [YAWNING.]
Turn down for what? Ah Turn down for what? Oh! Perfect.
Harder.
Again.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
[SHOUTS.]
Oh! Come on! - Ha, ha! - [BELL DINGING.]
[CHITTERS.]
Fire up that loud, another round of shots WOMAN [ON TV.]
: Put the first layer in Turn down for what? MAN [ON TV.]
: Another scavenger's coming Hey, Bones, look at that.
Mary, right? BRENNAN: Why do you care about my relationship with my father, Booth? Turn down for what? Look, I'm glad you called.
Um, but it's just gonna take some time.
I'm still upset, and so is Trixie.
MAZE: I know.
I'm fine to take it at whatever pace you need me to.
Fast or slow.
Whatever it takes.
Wait, what did you say? "Fast or slow.
" Why? It just nothing.
Reminds me of something someone else said.
Well, if you go by someone else's pace, it shows how much you really care.
That's incredibly insightful.
I learned it from sex.
That's more you.
All right, well, thanks, Maze.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Ha.
I got your text.
[EXHALES.]
Where have you been all week? - Has it been a week? Huh.
- Yes.
Um, hey, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Fine.
Rough night, juice cleanse.
So what have we got, Booth? Booth? Yes, the FBI agent on Bones.
- The TV show? - Uh-huh.
Watched all 12 seasons.
It's riveting stuff.
It's like watching a documentary of us.
Actually, you're clearly Booth.
- I'm Bones, obviously.
- Obviously.
Kevin's autopsy report.
Good.
Now, I've been thinking, perhaps there was a slight depression on the occipital, or slight fractures to the femur? Did you know there were 206 bones in a human body? Each of them a clue, sometimes twice.
And the coccyx is not what it sounds.
No coccyx.
What I did find was surveillance video of Kevin getting arrested for possession a few months ago.
Oh, goody.
[SNIFFS.]
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
So who's his doltish - sparring partner? - Uh, Matt Kessman, per the arrest report.
- Kevin's dealer? - Uh, I guess so.
I spoke to Kessman's roommate.
He said he's "doing a job" at the Vido Hotel right now.
So if we hurry Oh, so if we hurry, we could catch him in the act.
Yes, use it as leverage, get him to talk about Kevin's murder.
Onward, Boothy! I did it for the money I did it for the money La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
MATT: Excuse me, everyone.
If I could have your attention, please.
- Oh, excuse me.
- [GLASS CLINKING.]
In the ER - Thank you.
- That's Matt Kessman.
I fix people's hearts with a scalpel.
Some say it's a miracle.
The real miracle here is how Sheila fixed Kirby's heart.
Let's hear it for the happy couple, huh? Cheers.
CHLOE: I find it strange that a heart surgeon has roommates, and that he's slugging it out in an alleyway with a junkie.
[SCOFFS.]
Detective, I've seen that man before.
CHLOE: What? Where? He's the killer.
I'm certain of it.
- CHLOE: What? - LUCIFER: Yeah.
Thank you.
CHLOE: Stop what you're doing.
LAPD.
LUCIFER: Tell me, you murderous drug dealer.
Was it me? Uh, drug dealer? I'm a heart surgeon.
[CHUCKLES.]
Don't even try lying to me.
I know you killed Kevin Winstead.
And I know you killed that intern at the hospital.
Yeah.
Burned her body.
Only her cranium was left in the smoldering, smoldering ashes.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Lucifer.
Lucifer.
Are you talking about an episode of Bones? Wha? Oh, yes.
Oh, yes, no, I suppose I am, actually.
Yes, episode 306.
"The Intern in the Incinerator.
" Yes, of course.
You were quite good.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that wasn't an easy role.
I thought you were a heart surgeon.
- Um - This is all my fault.
I don't have many friends.
Any friends.
So I hired Matt to be my best man.
Make it look like I know fancy people.
Can I go back to my wedding now? - Uh - Yeah, go ahead.
You were arrested at the park for fighting with Kevin.
So why? Did he owe you money? What? We were fighting because he wouldn't do any drugs with me.
Because that's the job I was hired to do.
So I-I don't understand.
So Kevin was your drug dealer? I'm an actor.
Times are tough.
I was hired to be Kevin's friend.
Just like the groom.
But instead of giving best man speeches, I was supposed to keep him nodding out.
Eh, partying.
Who hired you to carry out this ridiculous charade? No idea.
I-I got the job through the agency that sets it all up.
They're called Masquerade, Inc.
[DROPS KEYS.]
Breaking and entering will get you five years.
You'd have to catch me first.
So, you ready for me to kill you yet? No.
And you can stop asking me.
I'll let you know when the brand is finally gone, but don't worry, I think it's soon.
Well, I did my part.
So what are we thinking? - Pain or no pain? - No pain.
I've had enough painful death in my time.
Let's keep this last one quick and clean.
No pain it is.
Not for you anyhow.
What? Decker's the one who's gonna suffer.
I got to admit, getting her to fall for you, and then, poof, vanishing ruthless.
And that's saying something coming from a demon.
Respect.
I don't care who I have to hurt, as long as it allows me to finally die.
"No family? No friends? No problem.
" And for a fee, they'll send actors to pose as family or friends at public functions for the sake of appearances.
- That's clever.
- Yeah, well, it's creepy.
At least now we know that whoever hired that exceptionally talented actor from Bones may well be our killer.
Hmm? So, um It says, says here the Masquerade office is in Hollywood.
I'm driving.
Lucifer.
I won't be able to get a warrant until tomorrow morning.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It-it is imperative that we go now.
It's imperative that you sleep.
You clearly I can't sleep! Detective, I can't sleep.
[SIGHS.]
Lucifer.
- I've had it.
- What you won't understand, really.
- Hmm? - It's my wings.
They're back.
My Father, he's manipulating me.
He's making me do things that I would never do.
What? Like flying through the night, helping people like some rogue angel? - Yes! Yes, exactly! - Uh-huh.
That is the only plausible explanation.
[LAUGHS.]
Either that or Linda's right, and I'm suppressing pent-up feelings about you and Pierce, which is obviously absurd.
You hate that I'm with him.
I couldn't care less that you're with that insolent dullard.
We both know that's not true, but what I want to know is why it bothers you so much.
Because, Detective, I happen to know him better than you, and I know that you can't trust him.
Care to elaborate on that? I Yeah.
Fine, I will, because you deserve to know the truth.
Yes, okay.
Pierce isn't Pierce.
He's Cain from the Bible.
And he's immortal.
He's been around for eons.
And all he cares about is ridding himself of that stupid curse that my Father put on him - Because he killed his brother.
- Stop.
Stop! - You're tired, and you're not thinking clearly.
- No No, I'm it's not because I'm tired, Detective! And But since you brought it up, let me tell you what I think about Marcus.
He is a good man who treats me right.
And I'm happy, Lucifer.
And all I know is how I feel when I'm around him, and, you know, I l I We're done here.
SALESMAN: Seven carats of pure bliss.
Don't you deserve a little indulgence? I'll take it.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Hey.
You got a second? For you, Amenadiel, always.
Don't go too far.
Dan called me.
He's worried about you.
Well, all is good.
In fact, it's better than good.
It's perfect.
Yeah, what about that Spartan lifestyle? What can I say? Things change.
And why is that? Because when you know a pair of angels that can zip you up to Heaven when the time comes, worrying is a waste of time.
That's not how it works, Charlotte.
- What do you mean? - Okay, look.
Neither I nor Lucifer have the power to get anyone into Heaven.
I don't have my wings, and Lucifer, well, he is, uh, most unwelcome.
So the only thing that matters, Charlotte, truly, is who you are.
It's okay.
Nothing's changed.
No, don't you see? That's the problem.
The second I thought I had a free pass, an excuse not to be good, I relapsed into my old ways, into who I really am.
There's no hope for me.
Amenadiel, I can't change.
I'm going to Hell.
[GASPS.]
- Mommy.
- CHLOE: Hmm? Did you know if you're ever mean to me, I can just go on this site and order a new mommy? Oh, yeah? How you gonna pay for that? Your credit card.
I've gotten pretty good at your signature, you know.
I don't doubt that.
All right, come on.
Let's go get some pizza and ice cream on the way home.
[MOUTHING.]
He seems nice.
He is nice.
You know, Monkey, since Daddy, I haven't really dated anyone well, seriously.
And, uh Marcus and I, we've been spending a lot of time together.
And the truth is I like him, a lot.
And it's just so important to me that you're okay with that.
Is he the reason you've been so happy lately? I think so.
Does he like chocolate cake? You know what, I don't know.
Let's ask him.
All right.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Oh, my God.
What is it, Mommy? That's Jeremy Bell.
The husband we interviewed.
Hello? [WIND WHISTLING.]
Anyone there? LUCIFER: Trouble sleeping? Mr.
Morningstar, what are you doing here? Shh.
It's probably best not to wake your family.
Even though they're not your family.
I just came from Masquerade where a most cooperative employee helped me connect the dots.
So, you used to be an actor.
We're in L.
A.
, everybody used to be an actor.
Mm-hmm, but not everyone gets such a cushy gig, do they? Your so-called wife worried she'd no longer fit in with the classes after she broke it off with her deadbeat baby daddy, hired you to play husband and father.
Murdering to keep the gig? That seems a tad method, don't you think? Murder? Th-That's crazy.
All right, look, you need to leave or I'm gonna call the police.
Oh, please.
Spare me the theatrics because I am in no mood to hear the half-baked recitation of innocence by a, well, mediocre actor.
Was it mediocre acting that got Mary to actually fall in love with me? And Kevin's reappearance just put all that in jeopardy.
Yeah, I wasn't about to let that loser weasel his way back in here.
Just like I'm not gonna let you mess it up, either.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Too bad you're trespassing.
[GRUNTS.]
What the hell? Most kind of you to admit your guilt.
The trying to kill me part, less so.
Aah! Now, tell me what I really want to know.
- Am I the angel? - What angel?! Did I stop you from killing that old woman? What happened the night you killed Kevin?! Okay.
I'll tell you.
After I shot him, I ran out.
I bumped into that old lady.
But there was nobody else there.
She fell into some kind of religious trance so I bolted! She saw an angel! - Was it me?! - No! I It was a-a shadow from-from those figurines.
With the figurines, the angel figurines.
Did you plant - the figurine in my bedroom?! - No, no.
I-I touched one of them.
So I took it, but it had my prints on it.
I destroyed it right after.
I swear.
Then how [GRUNTS.]
I was only trying to protect my family.
It was never your family to protect, you pathetic imposter.
You stole it from Kevin Winstead.
And then you kept him distracted by hiring someone to keep the party going.
Driving him to self-destruction, stoking the very fires of his own weakness to keep him out of the way.
How could I be so blind? Jeremy Bell? LAPD.
It's all my fault.
I killed Kevin Winstead.
I am a pathetic imposter.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
What are you doing? I need to find it, Maze.
Find what? Your self-respect? The-the angel figurine.
It's here somewhere.
I-I need to find it so that I can convince the detective that Pierce isn't who she thinks he is.
What? I don't understand.
Explain.
I figured it out, haven't I? Pierce has been gaslighting me.
He's been tricking me into thinking I've been doing good deeds in my sleep.
Why would he do that? Because to keep me away from the detective so he can pursue her.
He must be back to thinking that she's the key to lifting his bloody curse.
I mean, I tried to warn her, but she wouldn't listen, would she? And why wouldn't she listen? Because the detective always needs proof.
And what better proof than that trinket that he used to-to-to deceive me? [LAUGHS.]
Wait.
If you want Chloe to believe you, you have to do it right.
Take it to Ellen.
Have her do her lab thingy.
Yes, yes, you're right.
First, back up.
Tell me everything.
Start at the beginning.
And don't leave a single thing out.
It's just so hard to put everything together in my mind, Maze.
I mean, you-you wouldn't understand.
Thank you.
That's very kind of you.
Which is not like you at all.
Why are you even here? You're helping him.
Aren't you? "Helping him"? This was my idea.
After Pierce told me about that old lady who thought she saw an angel, that's when it all came together.
I planted the figurine by your bed.
My neck is still jacked from wearing those fake wings to save that dumb family in San Bernardino.
You came this close the other night to waking up after I took those handcuffs off.
Thankfully, handcuffs in bed, I got that.
Why would you do this to me, Mazikeen? Because I know the only thing that matters to you more than Chloe.
You.
Easiest way to spin you out.
Tap into those daddy issues.
"I can't get rid of my wings.
Daddy's controlling me.
" Wah, wah, wah.
[LAUGHS.]
You're stalling me.
- Aren't you? - [LAUGHS.]
I need to get to the detective! Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before, my friend [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Hi.
What do you have? You're lucky you're cute because I hate surprises.
Come on.
Let me see.
To celebrate solving a murder.
[GASPS.]
Mm, my second favorite kind of six-pack.
[CHUCKLES.]
Thank you.
And this.
I'm more of a key lime pie guy myself, but every proper bribe requires self-sacrifice.
Trixie is gonna love this.
- It's her favorite.
- Hmm.
She's at a birthday party right now.
Oh, birthday party.
Maybe she's already had enough cake for the evening.
Well, then maybe we can all share it together tomorrow morning for breakfast.
You mean I don't have to sneak out of the house in the morning like a teenager? - Mm-hmm.
- Are you sure? Oh, I'm sure.
Yeah.
I-I'm done walking on eggshells.
I'm done worrying about how this affects everybody else because the way that I feel about you is just don't get a big head.
All right? We're both adults and it's not that big a deal.
But anyhow, here it goes.
Um [CLEARS THROAT.]
[EXHALES.]
I really like spending time with you.
And I know why.
Because, Pierce, I l Stop.
I can't do this.
What? Wait, no.
Marcus, don't freak out.
I mean, I know that this is scary, but sometimes you-you just have to take a leap of faith.
You know? Hold on.
Did something happen? Did is it something I did or said? Because, look, we can take this slow.
I just thought that You're just making this too hard.
What? It's not worth it.
I'm not worth it? - I have to go.
- What? [DOOR OPENS, SLAMS.]
Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before, my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there And I saw what you did Saw it with my own two eyes You can wipe off that grin I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies I can feel it Coming in the air tonight Oh, Lord And I've been waiting for this moment For all my life Oh, Lord I can feel it Coming in the air tonight Why?! Why did you hurt her? Why?! For the first time, I had it.
It was right there in my grasp.
The one thing I always wanted.
It was so close.
I just had to have her say the words.
But I couldn't.
I couldn't do that to her.
I couldn't hurt her like that.
Well, you hurt her plenty.
And now? [LAUGHS.]
I'm gonna hurt you.
[GRUNTS.]
[LAUGHS.]
Get up.
Come on.
You do what you have to do, Lucifer.
I deserve it.
Your mark it's gone.
Oh, Lord.
PIERCE: She's the key to finally getting - what I've always wanted.
- Just wish I knew that Pierce's intentions were pure.
If you want to take it slow, that's okay, but from where I stand, I'm all in.
I told you not to talk to Charlotte.
She's a human woman who isn't ready to hear what you have to say.
I was in Hell.
And that's insane.
Charlotte, do you have a minute? At this point, things can't get any crazier.
MAZE: I am done with Earth in general.
I want to go home.
Last time I took someone on a celestial Uber ride, the detective almost died.
You're afraid of your daddy? You are gonna regret this.
I can help us both get what we want.
[GLASS SHATTERS.]
MAN: Where's my money? MAN 2: I just don't have it.
I lost it.
MAN: What do you mean you lost it? Where is it? MAN 2: What do you want me to say? OPERATOR: 9-1-1.
What is your emergency? - Hello? People are fighting in my house.
- MAN 2: Come on, Kevin.
- Kevin, stop.
- [GUNSHOT.]
[GASPS, GRUNTS.]
[PRAYING IN SPANISH.]
WOMAN: Oh Good morning, Detective Decker.
- Good morning, Lieutenant Pierce.
- Hey.
Have you seen the evidence closet? Uh no.
Wow.
This is a great closet.
And, um [MOANING.]
Oh, yeah.
Get some, Decker.
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Look at that.
It's always nice to start the day nose to nose, isn't it? Speaking of, you'll never guess what happened to me last night, Detective.
- What's that? - [SIGHS.]
I woke up alone.
- And? - [SIGHS.]
It's funny because I usually don't, because I usually have women over, or men, or both for sex.
[CHUCKLING.]
: Okay.
[SCOFFS.]
Will he be coming with you from now on? Because he is killing our banter.
Absolutely not, no.
Pierce and I only came Drove together just this one time.
One time.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
- Right.
- Apparently the victim's from a well-connected family.
The suits downtown want me to keep them in the loop.
Don't worry, I won't interfere with the investigation, - or the, uh, dream team.
- Uh-uh.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Okay.
Shall we? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Uh you have DNA on your shirt.
What? Oh um Oh, weird.
[MUTTERING.]
Hey, Ella, what's up? You tell me what's up, player.
[CLICKS TONGUE.]
So, dead guy? There must be an I.
D.
Right.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Here lies Kevin Winstead of the Winsteads.
34 years old.
The Winsteads? The wealthy real estate family from New York.
Oh.
So, what's he doing getting killed in such a crappy neighborhood? Apparently, he rented a room here.
Not sure why he would, but Kevin was notoriously the black sheep of the Winstead clan.
Heroin addiction.
Although from the looks of these healed track marks, it appears that Kevin might have gone clean recently.
Not an easy thing to do.
And, apparently, a waste of his time.
What was the cause of death? Gunshot wound to the chest.
- Shot during a home invasion robbery? - Maybe.
But the killer never got around to taking anything.
Got interrupted by the house's owner.
WOMAN: Oh, that poor boy.
He seemed nice.
- Why don't you tell me what happened.
- I was sleeping, and I heard glass breaking, so I went down to check it out.
And then I heard arguing.
Uh, what were they arguing about? The voices were muffled, but I did hear someone say, "Kevin, stop.
" So, the intruder knew the victim.
The former heroin addict had nefarious friends.
- Shocking.
- Did you get a good look at the guy? He was wearing a mask.
I would be dead for sure if God hadn't sent that angel to protect me.
CHLOE: So, there was someone else in the house.
Not another person.
An angel, who saved me.
It-it flew in here, and it just chased the evil man away.
[LUCIFER LAUGHS.]
I'm sorry, sorry, it's just the only thing my siblings would chase away are a good time.
I have proof.
The angel he took one of my figurines.
Hmm? Gabriel.
Right.
Try lending him some money.
Your tune changes rather quickly.
Mrs.
Hernandez, why don't we get you checked out at the hospital? - Thank you.
- Yes.
All right, let's do a background check on Kevin.
Let's see if he had issues with anybody.
Keep an eye out for this angelic witness.
Hey, maybe it was one of your brothers.
[CHUCKLES, SIGHS.]
Seriously, is it one of your brothers? Preposterous.
My Father doesn't send my siblings down - to intervene in petty robberies in Pacoima.
- [PHONE RINGING.]
He only sends them to harass me.
Oh, and speaking of Hello? Right, I'm here.
What's so dastardly important? Okay, Luci, I think we made a mistake revealing divinity to Charlotte Richards.
[LAUGHS.]
We? It was your idea.
But now I'm having second thoughts.
What if she tells someone? Oh, no, you're right.
'Cause then that person might tell someone else, who then might tell someone else, which could lead to absolutely nothing happening 'cause no one will believe her.
Okay, look, you might not care, Luci, but the concept of divinity is too big for humans to handle.
We don't know what she's gonna do now that she knows.
And I don't care.
You're right.
Oh, question, brother.
You don't happen to know if any of our siblings might be in town? Not that I'm aware of.
Ah.
Why? Oh, it's probably nothing.
Just an old woman in some unremarkable home said an angel broke into her house.
Saved her life.
Stole one of her hideous figurines.
All that trouble for one ordinary human? [CHUCKLES.]
: Yeah.
I mean, it would have to be one very bored or deeply confused angel.
[LAUGHS.]
Yea I mean, there must be some sort of reasonable explanation.
And you don't remember how the figurine - got into your bedroom? - No.
I mean, maybe it's a housewarming gift or or a sex toy.
Or a housewarming gift sex toy.
I just [LAUGHS.]
And it's identical to the one missing - from that woman's house? - Yes.
But it's coincidence, surely.
You've been complaining about having weird dreams lately.
Including one where you couldn't control your wings.
I've also dreamt I was king of the centaur people.
Doesn't mean I'm gonna start wearing horseshoes.
There have been instances where people sleepwalk when they're having difficulty dealing with painful situations.
Or, inversely, not dealing with them.
Is it possible you're not dealing with something, and, thus, sleepflying? That's absurd.
I mean, what in the world - could I not be dealing with? - I don't know.
Chloe and Pierce, maybe? Perhaps you're not as okay with that relationship as you think.
Look, I am not an idiot, Doctor.
Clearly, I don't love them together, But I'm also not a 16-year-old crying in my bedroom with Adele on repeat.
[LAUGHS.]
And I'm definitely not this angel.
And, I know just how to prove it.
PIERCE: This was nice.
This was Crap.
Wow, not even remotely close to what I thought you were gonna say.
No, no, the time.
We got to go.
What? Why? Trixie's gonna be home any minute.
And you don't want her to see me here.
Look, you're pretty much the first person that I've dated since Dan.
I haven't introduced Trixie to anybody.
And I just don't want to do that until I'm sure.
And it's not that I'm not sure.
I just, I-I want to be ready, and I want to know.
You know? Maybe I shouldn't have said all that.
- Anyhow - What's the prob Listen, fast or slow, whatever the speed, I'm into this.
If you haven't figured it out, Chloe, I'm in I like you.
[PHONE CHIMING.]
Sorry.
- [CLEARS THROAT.]
- Oh, it's Lucifer.
- Of course it is.
- Got to go.
Ah! Good, you're here.
We need to find the killer.
Is this that super important thing you said you needed to talk to me about? Yes, because this case is of the utmost importance to me now.
- Really? Why? - Because if, in the miniscule realm of possibility, that crazy old lady did, in fact, see an angel, I need to prove that the angel wasn't me.
I think I can help with that.
It wasn't you.
Well, I'm sure you're probably right.
And when the killer confirms as such, I'll be one happy Devil.
So, come on, chop-chop.
What do we got? [SIGHS.]
Okay, two days ago, Kevin checked out of a high-end rehab facility Sunrise Sands.
And according to this incident report, he got into a pretty nasty fight with a fellow resident right before he left A guy named Phil Goldstein.
Yeah, come on.
I'm driving.
I know you've been waiting You've been waiting all your life I know what you're thinking I can see it in your eyes LUCIFER: I don't understand why humans waste so much time resisting their desires.
A rehabilitation center for drugs and sex.
[LAUGHS.]
CHLOE: Mr.
Goldstein? Detective Chloe Decker, LAPD.
We'd like to ask you a few questions about Kevin Winstead.
The answer's yes he's a douchebag.
Did you know that he was murdered? No, but it's nice to get good news for a change.
The admin office said that you were gone for a few hours last night during the time of Kevin's murder.
So, would you like to tell us where you were? I went for a drive.
We're not prisoners here.
Can anyone confirm that? If producing nine legal shows taught me anything, it's that I don't have to say jack without a lawyer.
If you'll excuse me while I go take a crap.
- What are you doing? - Actually, Phil, I've had enough of your crap! Now, I know that you killed Kevin Winstead, and then an angel interrupted your escape.
So, tell me, what did he look like? - Lucifer.
- Man, what the hell are you talking about, man? Did he look like me?! Lucifer, stop.
I did not kill Kevin.
[PANTING.]
But you guys did fight, right? That is only 'cause Kevin took this rehab stuff so seriously.
The rest of us? It's a smoke screen.
Keep our wives and jobs at bay.
But Kevin wouldn't shut up about getting clean, getting his family back.
He drove me nuts.
So I punched him.
Get his family back? I His parents are dead, and he wasn't married.
I don't know about any of that.
Where were you last night? Answer her.
Uh, uh Uh, with hookers.
That's why I'm in here.
I'm a sex addict.
[CHUCKLES.]
- CHLOE: Ah.
- It's court-ordered.
Anyway, you know, two steps forward, one step back, right? Hey, what was that about? It's nothing.
That was not nothing.
Talk to me.
Look, I just haven't been sleeping well.
That's all but never mind that, what's next? What's next is you take the afternoon off.
Get some rest.
What? I'd rather go and find the killer.
It's not a suggestion, Lucifer.
Look, I'm gonna spend the rest of the day poring through Kevin's file, trying to figure out who his family is.
We probably won't know anything until tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow? Go home.
You're tired.
Okay.
Fine.
But, only if I can borrow these.
Well, I promise I'll bring them back.
Please don't.
Ew.
[GRUNTING.]
[EXHALES.]
[LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
AMENADIEL: Luci.
Lucifer.
[GRUNTS.]
- Wake up.
- [GROANS.]
Ugh.
No offense, brother, but on the list of things I'd like to wake up to, your face falls somewhere after a horse's head and Coldplay tickets.
I just came to show you this.
What? "The Angel of San Bernardino"? See, I thought that maybe one of our siblings was in town.
But, Luci, it appears that, uh I am the angel.
"Witnesses say the unknown Samaritan "appeared to have wings.
Sort of flew in like" This is ludicrous.
It-it can't be me.
Can it? Luci.
Just look around.
Look at your hands.
I think it is you, and I think it's all my fault.
In what possible way is this your fault? Because I made you show your wings to Charlotte.
Reveal divinity.
And now, Father is punishing us for it.
Look, Father making me do angelic deeds is a divine kick in the nuts to me.
Well, my punishment must be forthcoming.
- What? - And who knows in what form it will come.
Don't be ridiculous.
You or I aren't being punished for Charlotte Richards, same as I wasn't punished for revealing myself to Linda.
Okay, well, then, how do you explain all of this? Well, it's obvious, isn't it? It's just more manipulation.
Quite possibly, Dad's master plan all along.
I mean, first, he makes me look the part of an angel.
And then, he forces me to act it in my sleep.
I don't know, Luci.
Well, if working with the detective has taught me anything, it's that I need proof.
Only the killer can say for certain if it was me.
So I'm off to work.
- Might have a shower and stuff first, huh? - Yeah.
I'll get some takeout, because being with you is the dessert.
It's a date.
Can't wait to see you later.
#Dyingofcuteness.
How long have you been there? Long enough to hear how totally adorbs that was.
Sounds like things are going really well.
They are.
But But There's a "but" in there.
I think she's holding back.
She hasn't said the magic words.
What magic words? You know.
Those three little words.
Rhymes with "my guv boo.
" She hasn't said them, yeah.
You and I, we're the same.
The rock that people break themselves against, and you know what happens to rocks like us? When we fall, ooh, we fall really hard.
Kind of a scary place, huh? But don't worry, LT.
When the time is right, she'll say them.
And, when she finally does [IMITATES EXPLOSION.]
Everything will change.
I'm counting on it.
Hmm.
Your casserole tastes like roadkill.
[GROANS.]
Oh, and you.
Stop telling stories about your children, 'cause no one cares.
[SCOFFS.]
Hmm, Sally.
Oh, Charlotte.
It's not the clothes that make you look fat.
It's the fat.
- Ugh.
- Yeah.
Oof.
And you.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
You are pretty great, actually.
Uh, thanks? And you.
You are coming with me.
Okay.
CHLOE: Mrs.
Bell, this is a copy of your son's birth certificate.
It says that Kevin Winstead is the father.
Kevin and I dated years ago.
We were going to get married after I got pregnant with Jackson.
But I called it off at the last minute.
[JACKSON SCREAMS.]
- NANNY: Jackson, stop.
- Oh, no, no, no! - No, no.
- JACKSON: No, no, no! - NANNY: Get off the floor.
- I got it.
Yeah, and people choose to procreate.
I'm afraid my son has Kevin's temper.
But you are the one with the assault charges.
I did my share of drugs with Kevin.
I'm not proud of who I was then.
LUCIFER: Right.
The drugs made you wild.
Which is why I stopped using.
But Kevin liked getting high more than he loved me.
Our relationship became toxic.
So I left.
CHLOE: And when was the last time - you spoke to Kevin? - It's been years.
'Cause it says here on the phone records that he called here three months ago? Every now and then, he would call, asking for money.
For drugs.
So, whenever I would see his name on the caller I.
D.
, I would just hand the phone to Jeremy.
And did Kevin mention having trouble with anyone? A drug dealer, maybe? Last time we spoke, he said he owed somebody a lot of money.
I didn't care to ask who.
Right.
Well, I'm not saying this was a complete waste of time, but it was.
- [COUGHS.]
- [GROANS.]
Mm.
So so then, I said, "You can stick that brief in the circular file under your robe.
" [BOTH LAUGH.]
Hint: it's his butt.
Aren't you worried about the fallout? I had a big revelation recently, and it's completely changed my perspective on well, everything.
It's liberating.
Another round.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no, no.
No, thank you.
- I should go.
- Relax.
- You only live once.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Or [LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
twice, in my case.
Look, I would love to, but if I show up back to work completely hammered, there's gonna be hell to pay.
I got you covered.
I'll put in a word with the big guy.
With Pierce? No, think bigger.
The commissioner? It's an anadrome for D-O-G.
[LAUGHING.]
: I love how weird you are.
But I should go.
Or, you could duck into that closet, take off all your clothes.
I'll go freshen up.
Meet you in there.
Then, do the same.
That's really not a good idea.
Ow They call it magic They call it dynamite [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Come in.
When you get it right, so bad.
Oh.
What are you doing in here? Uh, I'm was - I'm calling the police.
- No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't do that, don't do that, please - [MOUTHS.]
- I am the police.
If I could just, um [BADGE CLATTERS.]
Right there.
I don't understand.
Why is it taking so long to find Kevin Winstead's drug contacts on your computer thingy? It's easier said than done, Lucifer.
Well, the man is a degenerate.
He must have been arrested a thousand times.
Rich families like the Winsteads, they're all about appearances.
And they've been covering Kevin's run-ins with the law since he was a teenager.
Look, getting a hit, it might take some time.
So why don't you go home, get some sleep and [QUIETLY.]
: Look, I can't.
[WHISPERS.]
: Why? Because if I am this Angel of San Bernardino, and I go to sleep, then I might do it again.
Okay, well, just don't sleep then.
Hold on.
That is an excellent plan, Detective.
I'll just never sleep again.
["TURN DOWN FOR WHAT" BY DJ SNAKE AND LIL JON PLAYING.]
[GRUNTS.]
Turn down for what? Turn down for what? Turn down for what? [YAWNING.]
Turn down for what? Ah Turn down for what? Oh! Perfect.
Harder.
Again.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
[SHOUTS.]
Oh! Come on! - Ha, ha! - [BELL DINGING.]
[CHITTERS.]
Fire up that loud, another round of shots WOMAN [ON TV.]
: Put the first layer in Turn down for what? MAN [ON TV.]
: Another scavenger's coming Hey, Bones, look at that.
Mary, right? BRENNAN: Why do you care about my relationship with my father, Booth? Turn down for what? Look, I'm glad you called.
Um, but it's just gonna take some time.
I'm still upset, and so is Trixie.
MAZE: I know.
I'm fine to take it at whatever pace you need me to.
Fast or slow.
Whatever it takes.
Wait, what did you say? "Fast or slow.
" Why? It just nothing.
Reminds me of something someone else said.
Well, if you go by someone else's pace, it shows how much you really care.
That's incredibly insightful.
I learned it from sex.
That's more you.
All right, well, thanks, Maze.
[PHONE BEEPS.]
Ha.
I got your text.
[EXHALES.]
Where have you been all week? - Has it been a week? Huh.
- Yes.
Um, hey, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
Fine.
Rough night, juice cleanse.
So what have we got, Booth? Booth? Yes, the FBI agent on Bones.
- The TV show? - Uh-huh.
Watched all 12 seasons.
It's riveting stuff.
It's like watching a documentary of us.
Actually, you're clearly Booth.
- I'm Bones, obviously.
- Obviously.
Kevin's autopsy report.
Good.
Now, I've been thinking, perhaps there was a slight depression on the occipital, or slight fractures to the femur? Did you know there were 206 bones in a human body? Each of them a clue, sometimes twice.
And the coccyx is not what it sounds.
No coccyx.
What I did find was surveillance video of Kevin getting arrested for possession a few months ago.
Oh, goody.
[SNIFFS.]
- Okay.
- Mm-hmm.
So who's his doltish - sparring partner? - Uh, Matt Kessman, per the arrest report.
- Kevin's dealer? - Uh, I guess so.
I spoke to Kessman's roommate.
He said he's "doing a job" at the Vido Hotel right now.
So if we hurry Oh, so if we hurry, we could catch him in the act.
Yes, use it as leverage, get him to talk about Kevin's murder.
Onward, Boothy! I did it for the money I did it for the money La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la [ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
MATT: Excuse me, everyone.
If I could have your attention, please.
- Oh, excuse me.
- [GLASS CLINKING.]
In the ER - Thank you.
- That's Matt Kessman.
I fix people's hearts with a scalpel.
Some say it's a miracle.
The real miracle here is how Sheila fixed Kirby's heart.
Let's hear it for the happy couple, huh? Cheers.
CHLOE: I find it strange that a heart surgeon has roommates, and that he's slugging it out in an alleyway with a junkie.
[SCOFFS.]
Detective, I've seen that man before.
CHLOE: What? Where? He's the killer.
I'm certain of it.
- CHLOE: What? - LUCIFER: Yeah.
Thank you.
CHLOE: Stop what you're doing.
LAPD.
LUCIFER: Tell me, you murderous drug dealer.
Was it me? Uh, drug dealer? I'm a heart surgeon.
[CHUCKLES.]
Don't even try lying to me.
I know you killed Kevin Winstead.
And I know you killed that intern at the hospital.
Yeah.
Burned her body.
Only her cranium was left in the smoldering, smoldering ashes.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Lucifer.
Lucifer.
Are you talking about an episode of Bones? Wha? Oh, yes.
Oh, yes, no, I suppose I am, actually.
Yes, episode 306.
"The Intern in the Incinerator.
" Yes, of course.
You were quite good.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Yeah, that wasn't an easy role.
I thought you were a heart surgeon.
- Um - This is all my fault.
I don't have many friends.
Any friends.
So I hired Matt to be my best man.
Make it look like I know fancy people.
Can I go back to my wedding now? - Uh - Yeah, go ahead.
You were arrested at the park for fighting with Kevin.
So why? Did he owe you money? What? We were fighting because he wouldn't do any drugs with me.
Because that's the job I was hired to do.
So I-I don't understand.
So Kevin was your drug dealer? I'm an actor.
Times are tough.
I was hired to be Kevin's friend.
Just like the groom.
But instead of giving best man speeches, I was supposed to keep him nodding out.
Eh, partying.
Who hired you to carry out this ridiculous charade? No idea.
I-I got the job through the agency that sets it all up.
They're called Masquerade, Inc.
[DROPS KEYS.]
Breaking and entering will get you five years.
You'd have to catch me first.
So, you ready for me to kill you yet? No.
And you can stop asking me.
I'll let you know when the brand is finally gone, but don't worry, I think it's soon.
Well, I did my part.
So what are we thinking? - Pain or no pain? - No pain.
I've had enough painful death in my time.
Let's keep this last one quick and clean.
No pain it is.
Not for you anyhow.
What? Decker's the one who's gonna suffer.
I got to admit, getting her to fall for you, and then, poof, vanishing ruthless.
And that's saying something coming from a demon.
Respect.
I don't care who I have to hurt, as long as it allows me to finally die.
"No family? No friends? No problem.
" And for a fee, they'll send actors to pose as family or friends at public functions for the sake of appearances.
- That's clever.
- Yeah, well, it's creepy.
At least now we know that whoever hired that exceptionally talented actor from Bones may well be our killer.
Hmm? So, um It says, says here the Masquerade office is in Hollywood.
I'm driving.
Lucifer.
I won't be able to get a warrant until tomorrow morning.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It-it is imperative that we go now.
It's imperative that you sleep.
You clearly I can't sleep! Detective, I can't sleep.
[SIGHS.]
Lucifer.
- I've had it.
- What you won't understand, really.
- Hmm? - It's my wings.
They're back.
My Father, he's manipulating me.
He's making me do things that I would never do.
What? Like flying through the night, helping people like some rogue angel? - Yes! Yes, exactly! - Uh-huh.
That is the only plausible explanation.
[LAUGHS.]
Either that or Linda's right, and I'm suppressing pent-up feelings about you and Pierce, which is obviously absurd.
You hate that I'm with him.
I couldn't care less that you're with that insolent dullard.
We both know that's not true, but what I want to know is why it bothers you so much.
Because, Detective, I happen to know him better than you, and I know that you can't trust him.
Care to elaborate on that? I Yeah.
Fine, I will, because you deserve to know the truth.
Yes, okay.
Pierce isn't Pierce.
He's Cain from the Bible.
And he's immortal.
He's been around for eons.
And all he cares about is ridding himself of that stupid curse that my Father put on him - Because he killed his brother.
- Stop.
Stop! - You're tired, and you're not thinking clearly.
- No No, I'm it's not because I'm tired, Detective! And But since you brought it up, let me tell you what I think about Marcus.
He is a good man who treats me right.
And I'm happy, Lucifer.
And all I know is how I feel when I'm around him, and, you know, I l I We're done here.
SALESMAN: Seven carats of pure bliss.
Don't you deserve a little indulgence? I'll take it.
- [KNOCK ON DOOR.]
- Hey.
You got a second? For you, Amenadiel, always.
Don't go too far.
Dan called me.
He's worried about you.
Well, all is good.
In fact, it's better than good.
It's perfect.
Yeah, what about that Spartan lifestyle? What can I say? Things change.
And why is that? Because when you know a pair of angels that can zip you up to Heaven when the time comes, worrying is a waste of time.
That's not how it works, Charlotte.
- What do you mean? - Okay, look.
Neither I nor Lucifer have the power to get anyone into Heaven.
I don't have my wings, and Lucifer, well, he is, uh, most unwelcome.
So the only thing that matters, Charlotte, truly, is who you are.
It's okay.
Nothing's changed.
No, don't you see? That's the problem.
The second I thought I had a free pass, an excuse not to be good, I relapsed into my old ways, into who I really am.
There's no hope for me.
Amenadiel, I can't change.
I'm going to Hell.
[GASPS.]
- Mommy.
- CHLOE: Hmm? Did you know if you're ever mean to me, I can just go on this site and order a new mommy? Oh, yeah? How you gonna pay for that? Your credit card.
I've gotten pretty good at your signature, you know.
I don't doubt that.
All right, come on.
Let's go get some pizza and ice cream on the way home.
[MOUTHING.]
He seems nice.
He is nice.
You know, Monkey, since Daddy, I haven't really dated anyone well, seriously.
And, uh Marcus and I, we've been spending a lot of time together.
And the truth is I like him, a lot.
And it's just so important to me that you're okay with that.
Is he the reason you've been so happy lately? I think so.
Does he like chocolate cake? You know what, I don't know.
Let's ask him.
All right.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
Oh, my God.
What is it, Mommy? That's Jeremy Bell.
The husband we interviewed.
Hello? [WIND WHISTLING.]
Anyone there? LUCIFER: Trouble sleeping? Mr.
Morningstar, what are you doing here? Shh.
It's probably best not to wake your family.
Even though they're not your family.
I just came from Masquerade where a most cooperative employee helped me connect the dots.
So, you used to be an actor.
We're in L.
A.
, everybody used to be an actor.
Mm-hmm, but not everyone gets such a cushy gig, do they? Your so-called wife worried she'd no longer fit in with the classes after she broke it off with her deadbeat baby daddy, hired you to play husband and father.
Murdering to keep the gig? That seems a tad method, don't you think? Murder? Th-That's crazy.
All right, look, you need to leave or I'm gonna call the police.
Oh, please.
Spare me the theatrics because I am in no mood to hear the half-baked recitation of innocence by a, well, mediocre actor.
Was it mediocre acting that got Mary to actually fall in love with me? And Kevin's reappearance just put all that in jeopardy.
Yeah, I wasn't about to let that loser weasel his way back in here.
Just like I'm not gonna let you mess it up, either.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Too bad you're trespassing.
[GRUNTS.]
What the hell? Most kind of you to admit your guilt.
The trying to kill me part, less so.
Aah! Now, tell me what I really want to know.
- Am I the angel? - What angel?! Did I stop you from killing that old woman? What happened the night you killed Kevin?! Okay.
I'll tell you.
After I shot him, I ran out.
I bumped into that old lady.
But there was nobody else there.
She fell into some kind of religious trance so I bolted! She saw an angel! - Was it me?! - No! I It was a-a shadow from-from those figurines.
With the figurines, the angel figurines.
Did you plant - the figurine in my bedroom?! - No, no.
I-I touched one of them.
So I took it, but it had my prints on it.
I destroyed it right after.
I swear.
Then how [GRUNTS.]
I was only trying to protect my family.
It was never your family to protect, you pathetic imposter.
You stole it from Kevin Winstead.
And then you kept him distracted by hiring someone to keep the party going.
Driving him to self-destruction, stoking the very fires of his own weakness to keep him out of the way.
How could I be so blind? Jeremy Bell? LAPD.
It's all my fault.
I killed Kevin Winstead.
I am a pathetic imposter.
[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS.]
What are you doing? I need to find it, Maze.
Find what? Your self-respect? The-the angel figurine.
It's here somewhere.
I-I need to find it so that I can convince the detective that Pierce isn't who she thinks he is.
What? I don't understand.
Explain.
I figured it out, haven't I? Pierce has been gaslighting me.
He's been tricking me into thinking I've been doing good deeds in my sleep.
Why would he do that? Because to keep me away from the detective so he can pursue her.
He must be back to thinking that she's the key to lifting his bloody curse.
I mean, I tried to warn her, but she wouldn't listen, would she? And why wouldn't she listen? Because the detective always needs proof.
And what better proof than that trinket that he used to-to-to deceive me? [LAUGHS.]
Wait.
If you want Chloe to believe you, you have to do it right.
Take it to Ellen.
Have her do her lab thingy.
Yes, yes, you're right.
First, back up.
Tell me everything.
Start at the beginning.
And don't leave a single thing out.
It's just so hard to put everything together in my mind, Maze.
I mean, you-you wouldn't understand.
Thank you.
That's very kind of you.
Which is not like you at all.
Why are you even here? You're helping him.
Aren't you? "Helping him"? This was my idea.
After Pierce told me about that old lady who thought she saw an angel, that's when it all came together.
I planted the figurine by your bed.
My neck is still jacked from wearing those fake wings to save that dumb family in San Bernardino.
You came this close the other night to waking up after I took those handcuffs off.
Thankfully, handcuffs in bed, I got that.
Why would you do this to me, Mazikeen? Because I know the only thing that matters to you more than Chloe.
You.
Easiest way to spin you out.
Tap into those daddy issues.
"I can't get rid of my wings.
Daddy's controlling me.
" Wah, wah, wah.
[LAUGHS.]
You're stalling me.
- Aren't you? - [LAUGHS.]
I need to get to the detective! Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before, my friend [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Hi.
What do you have? You're lucky you're cute because I hate surprises.
Come on.
Let me see.
To celebrate solving a murder.
[GASPS.]
Mm, my second favorite kind of six-pack.
[CHUCKLES.]
Thank you.
And this.
I'm more of a key lime pie guy myself, but every proper bribe requires self-sacrifice.
Trixie is gonna love this.
- It's her favorite.
- Hmm.
She's at a birthday party right now.
Oh, birthday party.
Maybe she's already had enough cake for the evening.
Well, then maybe we can all share it together tomorrow morning for breakfast.
You mean I don't have to sneak out of the house in the morning like a teenager? - Mm-hmm.
- Are you sure? Oh, I'm sure.
Yeah.
I-I'm done walking on eggshells.
I'm done worrying about how this affects everybody else because the way that I feel about you is just don't get a big head.
All right? We're both adults and it's not that big a deal.
But anyhow, here it goes.
Um [CLEARS THROAT.]
[EXHALES.]
I really like spending time with you.
And I know why.
Because, Pierce, I l Stop.
I can't do this.
What? Wait, no.
Marcus, don't freak out.
I mean, I know that this is scary, but sometimes you-you just have to take a leap of faith.
You know? Hold on.
Did something happen? Did is it something I did or said? Because, look, we can take this slow.
I just thought that You're just making this too hard.
What? It's not worth it.
I'm not worth it? - I have to go.
- What? [DOOR OPENS, SLAMS.]
Well, if you told me you were drowning I would not lend a hand I've seen your face before, my friend But I don't know if you know who I am Well, I was there And I saw what you did Saw it with my own two eyes You can wipe off that grin I know where you've been It's all been a pack of lies I can feel it Coming in the air tonight Oh, Lord And I've been waiting for this moment For all my life Oh, Lord I can feel it Coming in the air tonight Why?! Why did you hurt her? Why?! For the first time, I had it.
It was right there in my grasp.
The one thing I always wanted.
It was so close.
I just had to have her say the words.
But I couldn't.
I couldn't do that to her.
I couldn't hurt her like that.
Well, you hurt her plenty.
And now? [LAUGHS.]
I'm gonna hurt you.
[GRUNTS.]
[LAUGHS.]
Get up.
Come on.
You do what you have to do, Lucifer.
I deserve it.
Your mark it's gone.
Oh, Lord.
