[Lucifer] Previously on Lucifer...
I'm really glad that you told me how you felt.
The one man I've cared about, I still gave him up.
That's how much I care about our friendship.
Go to Hell.
Chloe Decker, will you marry me?
[Chloe] Lucifer is the reason that I said yes to Pierce.
He's also the reason that I said no.
Okay, you can kill me, sure.
But Linda would die, too.
[Maze groans]
I was afraid that if you saw all of me,
you would run away, Chloe.
I am The Devil.
No, you're not.
Not to me.
I've been coming here ever since I've realized that
this may be the closest to Heaven that I'll ever get.
[gunshots]
Let's go home.
[police radio chatter]
I'll never get to see her again.
I know.
I still can't believe it.
Well, at least you'll get to see her, Detective.
Eventually, in Heaven.
But I, well...
Sadly, she's gone somewhere I simply can't follow.
You know I'm here for you, right?
And I you, Detective.
How's poor Daniel?
Hmm, about as good as you could expect.
He's throwing himself into work, but so far, we've come up empty.
No witnesses, no security cameras up here.
Hey, Ella.
You have anything?
Uh, no, nothing yet. I'm trying. I...
I really am, but there is, uh, no DNA, no fingerprints.
Uh, bullets are nine-millimeter.
Pretty common, so that's not helpful.
Who would do something like this?
[Marcus] Okay, everyone, I know this is hard,
but time is of the essence.
Lopez, I want you to expand the search area.
Decker, build a suspect list.
Espinoza...
-Go home. -I need to be here, Lieutenant.
-Dan, you need to grieve. -I will grieve.
When it's done.
Dan, we're gonna find who did this.
I'm on it, Lieutenant.
Uh, Lucifer, hold back a second.
Have you spoken to Amenadiel?
-Why? -I know he and Charlotte were close.
He might know something.
I can talk to him myself if you have an idea where he is.
Well, I think I know exactly where he is.
-You do? -Yes.
I'm not following.
Well, it appears that my brother got his wings back.
How is that possible?
[scoffs]
Amenadiel had a crazy theory, or so I thought,
that everything that's happened to us,
him losing his wings, me gaining mine,
even my lost Devil face.
-And you believe that? -Well, I didn't.
But I'm fairly certain he's up in Heaven now,
and took dear Charlotte with him.
So, perhaps there's something to it.
-You think Amenadiel is gone forever? -Who knows if he'll ever return,
now he's finally home in the Silver City.
-Okay. No Amenadiel. Great. -Excuse me?
It's one less thing to juggle as we try to track down this killer.
[sighs] Right.
[melancholy music playing]
[John] Oh, wow!
The Sinnerman himself returns.
You know, the boys will be thrilled.
Everyone's ready to get back to business.
I'm not back.
I just need something taken care of. Any luck so far?
I went through the list.
I found the perfect favor to cash in.
This should do just the trick.
Good work.
You okay, boss?
I've never seen you scared.
You're right, you haven't.
'Cause I've never been scared of dying before.
[groans]
Of losing everything.
But that doesn't make me weak, it makes me more dangerous.
Yeah. Sure.
Okay, boss.
What do you want us to do with the woman back at your place?
I may still need her. Keep her alive.
-For now. -Don't worry.
My best men are on her.
[groans softly]
Linda.
[thug] I wouldn't worry about your friend, sweetie.
You've got bigger problems.
She doesn't seem that scary.
[all grunting]
My nose!
You broke my freaking nose!
[grunting continues]
[panting]
[groans]
[Chloe] I hope Maze is okay.
Why is that?
I had to book another sitter, 'cause I couldn't get a hold of her.
She's Maze. I'm sure she's fine.
-Yeah. -This is astounding.
Who knew Charlotte was prosecuting so many cases?
I know, and she wasn't afraid to go after the most dangerous criminals.
That's our Charlotte.
Yeah.
Guys, there's something you need to know.
Now, it's gonna sound completely crazy,
but I need you to hear me out, okay?
Of course. What is it?
Try not to react.
If anyone realizes what we know, our lives are in danger.
Okay, okay. What's up, Dan?
I figured out who killed Charlotte.
What?
-It was Pierce. -What are you talking about, Daniel?
Why would he do that?
Charlotte was investigating him.
-She was? Why? -That's the craziest part.
Pierce...
Pierce is the Sinnerman.
Dan, listen...
I can't imagine what you're going through right now,
-but this does sound a little-- -What, insane?
Completely nuts? No, I get it. I know what it sounds like, Chloe,
-but-- -[Lucifer] Daniel's right.
-Excuse me? -Pierce is indeed the Sinnerman.
I mean, I don't know if he killed Charlotte,
but he certainly seemed mightily relieved Amenadiel was gone.
-What, you knew? -Yes, he told me months ago.
-What? -[Dan] You knew?
-You-- -Daniel, Daniel!
Daniel, Daniel, like you said,
please be careful. People are watching.
Okay?
Yes?
This cannot be true.
Can it? I mean...
If you knew this, why wouldn't you say something?
I mean, I almost married him.
I mean, I almost married him!
I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen.
No, you said he's immortal, and that is something completely different.
Is it? If I told you he was the Sinnerman as well,
would you have believed me?
I don't know. Maybe.
Maybe, because that's something that actually exists,
and not some metaphor that you've made up.
I haven't made up anything, Detective.
I always tell you the truth, no matter what.
Okay, ignoring all of the craziness,
do you believe me, Chloe?
I...
I don't see anything in here that proves it.
Pierce wants to talk to everyone.
Charlotte Richards was one of us. She fought tooth and nail
to make sure that our arrests stuck,
to make sure that the bad guys stayed off the streets.
And now...
[sighs]
Pierce doesn't get emotional.
[sniffles]
Now she's gone.
Not like this. He's lying.
[Marcus] But we will find whoever did this.
We need to get justice for Charlotte,
if it's the last thing that we do.
He did it, didn't he?
-He killed Charlotte. -It appears so, Detective.
And now, he's overseeing the whole damn investigation.
How do we take him down?
[theme music playing]
How do we approach this?
You buy me five minutes in interrogation with that dick,
and I swear to you, I will break him.
Dan, you're gonna need to get a hold of your anger.
I know it's not easy,
but it's the only way that we can bring him down.
Can you do that?
Yeah.
-I can. I have no choice. -She's right.
Pierce is more formidable than either of you realize.
We are talking about the world's first killer after all.
And you, no more of your metaphors.
-They're not metaphors. -We need to focus on Pierce.
But when this is all done, you and I are gonna talk about
everything that you've been keeping from me.
Very well.
Great.
What's our first move?
Well, Pierce still needs to cover his tracks,
so if I were him, I'd be looking for a fall guy.
This was just found at the crime scene.
I totally missed the little bugger in the first couple of canvases.
I mean, thank God Pierce held off on releasing the scene
until we did a third sweep.
-We may have never found it. -I guarantee you wouldn't have.
Did you find any DNA on it?
Yeah, and we got a match.
A guy named Steve Chamberlain.
That's one of the men that Charlotte was gonna prosecute.
A hedge-fund manager that was using a charity to embezzle money.
Sounds exactly like the kind of dirtbag
who would do something this terrible.
Okay, Ella, there's something that I need you to...
There's something that you should do. So, if they found this at the scene,
there's probably more evidence. So have the team do another sweep.
-You got it. -[clears throat] We have a lead?
Yeah. Uh, DNA at the scene points to
one of the criminals that Charlotte was gonna prosecute.
That's great.
Well, keep me posted.
Let me know if there's anything you need.
Yeah, will do.
Espinoza.
Yeah, Lieutenant.
I thought I told you to go home.
Yes, sir, you did.
Well, if I were you, I would still be here, too.
-If there's anything you need-- -I need
to catch the bastard that killed Charlotte.
Good luck.
Well, the improv's paying off.
Admirable work, Daniel.
[Dan] For whatever good it does,
if we don't arrest Pierce's fall guy, he's gonna know we're on to him.
But if we do,
then we lose the time that we need
to prove that Pierce is really the one who did it.
Maybe not.
Think Pierce has gone back to his Sinnerman network?
[Lucifer] It makes sense. Pierce needs to move quickly,
and there are thousands of people in Los Angeles that owe him a favor.
Maybe one of them is in Chamberlain's orbit.
If we can figure out who owes Pierce the favor,
maybe we can get him to flip on him.
It's a long shot, but--
Yeah, but it's the best one we've got so far. So...
-[Lucifer sighs] -[Chloe] Yeah.
[car door opens]
[footsteps approaching]
I told you not to park under that tree.
You need to clean this crap.
L.A.P.D.
Wanna ask you some questions about Charlotte Richards.
Yeah. Sure.
Shall we take this inside?
Nosy neighbors and all that.
Not sure why you came all this way.
I'm not answering any questions without my lawyer.
We're not here about the embezzling case.
Charlotte Richards was murdered.
-What? -[Dan] Yeah.
And your DNA was found at the scene of the crime.
I didn't murder her.
-We know. -You gotta listen to me.
I... You do?
You see, we think you're being framed,
and we'd like your help in trying to find out who framed you.
Is this some weird reverse psychology? What's your angle?
Never mind. I'm calling my lawyer.
If you do that, we can't help you.
Sorry, but this "good cop, bad cop, sad cop" thing isn't working on me.
Besides, a cigarette butt, it's pretty flimsy evidence.
He's right, a good frame job would need more.
Like the murder weapon.
-Where would you hide it? -[Steve] Nowhere,
because I didn't murder her.
If you did, where would you hide the gun?
-In my desk. -What, that one?
I don't... Yes, that one.
But, you know, it's not gonna be there, because I'm not a...
Murderer.
-Whoa! That is not mine. -For the last time, we know.
[Chloe] Someone planted this gun here.
We need to know who had access to this area in the last 12 hours.
-Oh, no. -[Lucifer] What?
Had a few friends over today, have you?
Just 100 or so.
[indistinct chatter]
I think we made a real breakthrough today, Simon.
Thanks, and I know you're right, Linda.
Not everyone's out to get me.
Yeah. Okay, good.
[door opens]
[yelping]
-Are you here to kill her? -No! No!
That's exactly what someone trying to kill her would say.
-No, no. [whimpering] -Maze, he's a patient.
See you next week?
What the hell happened?
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Good.
[Chloe] We need to figure out who would get a favor from the Sinnerman.
Well, you did bring along your own master of favors.
I could suss out who needed one the most.
Dude, we don't have time to go person-to-person.
Pierce is gonna start wondering where we are soon.
[Chloe] Yeah, you're right. We need to narrow down the list fast.
You know everybody here.
I mean, who would have a dark secret that they would want erased?
-Uh... Everyone. -What? It's a charity event.
Charity is the perfect way for criminals to launder their images.
Donate $1,000 to distract from the million you just filched.
[Steve] He's not wrong.
That guy,
sweat shop abuse.
Him, insider trading.
Her, stole the idea for a company from her own sister.
So it could be anyone.
Everyone here is guilty.
Which means the Sinnerman is not very good at what he does.
He should have left it to the professionals,
namely, moi.
-You're right. -Well, thank you.
No, I mean, he is good at what he does.
If somebody made a deal with the Sinnerman,
he's gonna make their skeletons vanish.
And no one would know about their crimes at all.
Which means we're not looking for a criminal.
We're looking for somebody as clean as can be.
[Chloe] Dan.
Dan.
-Who hired you to frame your boss? -What are you talking about?
-Dan. -You are innocent.
And that's a bad thing?
You're the only one who has access to Chamberlain's office
and the only one with no dirty laundry.
Now the woman I loved is dead,
-so you better start talking! -Daniel, Daniel.
Daniel, I understand your anger,
but perhaps a lighter touch might help reveal the truth faster.
I mean, after all, this young man did ask for a favor from the Sinnerman,
so you must have wanted something very badly, didn't you?
Yeah, tell me.
What is it you desired?
I wish I never sneezed.
You interrupted me for a stupid parlor trick?
Dan, it's not a trick.
I don't know what it is, but it works.
-[sighs] -Calm down.
What happened when you sneezed?
I...
I took my eyes off the road for a second.
And this...
This motorcycle pulled in front of me, at just the wrong time.
So you killed a biker,
and then found somebody who could make it all disappear.
I...
I heard about a guy who gave out favors, so I called him.
And the next morning, it was like it never happened.
But it did happen.
No matter how much time has passed, every time I look in the mirror,
-all I see is-- -A monster.
And then this morning, he called in his favor.
How did he contact you? Would you recognize him?
I never saw anybody.
A burner phone showed up at my doorstep this morning.
And everything after was handled through dead drops.
[sighs] All right, we're gonna need that phone.
Okay.
-We're running out of time. -Okay, so then we buy more.
We bring Chamberlain in,
we let him lawyer up, so he doesn't talk.
And then what? Pierce works with the pros. There's a good chance
there's no evidence on the burner phone.
Perhaps it's time we ask for some help.
Hey.
I got your text. What's up?
I need something from you.
Of course you do.
I do too, actually.
-It's not what I meant. I-- -Hey.
Hey.
You have been through so much.
Okay?
You need to go home.
You need to take care of you.
-We got the guy. -[crying] That's just it.
I need you... [clears throat]
Hey.
I need you to do me a favor.
Something you can't tell anyone about.
Lopez, you wanna come in, or what?
Uh...
-Hey, boss. -What is it?
Dan gave something to me.
Asked me to examine it,
but told me not to tell anyone.
What is it?
A phone?
-That's it? -Yeah, I mean, he...
Honestly, he sounded kinda crazy.
He was going on and on about some frame job or something.
-Oh. What all did he say? -Not much more than that. He...
He claimed that "People might be listening."
I know it sounds insane.
I know he's not in a great place.
I told him he should just go home, and get some sleep.
I'm really worried about him.
It's okay. I'm glad you came to me with this, Ella.
But I don't want Dan to get into any trouble.
He's not in any trouble. I promise.
Okay.
Yeah, it's me. One of my officers is onto you.
No, I don't need excuses. I just need you to take care of it.
[guns cocking]
[door opens]
Hello, Pierce.
It's time for a reckoning.
What are you talking about?
I know you killed Charlotte.
So, why did you do it, Piercey?
Why kill Charlotte?
I don't know what this is about, Lucifer.
We caught the murderer. I don't know why you think--
The Detective isn't here.
Which means I'm invulnerable, and you're not. So...
Sit
down.
Or I'll make you.
[grunts]
-Lucifer-- -For every lie,
I will break a body part.
I didn't mean to kill Charlotte. It was an accident.
I was trying to kill Amenadiel.
And that's supposed to spare your life, is it?
You wanted my brother dead instead?
It's the truth.
But why?
God took my mark away.
I thought killing his favorite son might bring it back.
[laughing]
Did you now?
You know, when I first landed in Hell,
I'd just led a rebellion against dear old Dad.
I failed.
Everyone hated me for it,
myself included, I've come to realize.
I felt like a monster.
And then, when I looked at my reflection,
there was my Devil face.
Your father's punishment?
So I thought.
But after speaking with a sneezy, murderous driver today,
I realized,
I felt like a monster before I became one.
I think I gave myself that face.
[laughing]
You actually believe Amenadiel's theory?
And what about your wings?
Well, I'd just saved Mom, hadn't I?
And I'd decided to tell the Detective the truth.
I felt better about myself than I had in,
well, ever.
Maybe so much so, that deep down,
I felt like I wasn't a monster anymore.
What does any of this have to do with me?
My curse was lifted when Chloe fell in love with me.
[chuckles]
You see,
I don't think that's what happened.
You were willing to sacrifice the one thing you wanted
to protect someone else. For the first time
in your miserable life, Cain,
[Lucifer chuckles]
you were selfless.
And maybe, deep down,
you felt that you finally deserved
the mortality that you so desperately desired.
You fell in love with the Detective, Pierce, not the other way around.
She never loved you.
Oh, go ahead, hit me.
Yeah, it'd be good to see you break your hand.
You think you're not vulnerable because Chloe's not here.
But guess what? You're still very vulnerable.
Oh, please, do go on.
I like this desperate you.
You do have a weakness.
Hmm?
You wanna be good.
[scoffs] What?
Help! Help, I'm being attacked!
Lucifer's trying to kill me.
What? No, no, no, let go of me!
Let go of me!
Leave me alone! I don't wanna hurt you!
It's not me that you want.
Get...
Get off of me!
So you just let him go?
[Chloe] You were supposed to keep Pierce distracted,
not confront him in the middle of the precinct.
I overestimated my abilities, and underestimated his.
It's not his fault.
I mean, I wish I'd had a chance to give Pierce a piece of my mind.
Thank you, Miss Lopez.
But when Dan asked me to give Pierce that phone,
and told me the whole crazy theory,
I gotta be honest, I had a really hard time believing it.
Yeah, well, the fact that you do, Ella, it means a lot.
ELLA: Hey, we're O.G.
Okay, you ask me to take a leap of faith, I'm already jumping.
But you guys, when I handed him that phone,
that look in his eyes...
I just wanted to tear his damn throat out right there.
Okay.
So now what? We have no idea where Pierce has gone,
who's still loyal to him. Hell, we can't even go back to the precinct
to run this guy's fingerprints to figure out who the hell he is.
Pierce has completely reinvented himself before. He'll do it again.
Disappear forever.
Which means our window is tight.
-What are you doing? -I'm calling him.
[cell phone ringing]
-Chloe. -Hey.
I just heard that Lucifer attacked you.
What's going on?
What did Lucifer tell you?
That you're an immortal,
that you're Cain from the Bible.
Just a bunch of crazy stuff.
It's all true.
[chuckles]
Hey.
Marcus.
Are you okay?
[Marcus] I'm fine.
It's good to hear your voice.
[Chloe] Yeah. You too.
Where are you? I'm worried about you.
Lucifer is next to you, isn't he?
Espinoza too?
What? No.
You're a good liar, but I know you, Chloe.
Yeah.
Yeah, they're here.
Ella too, and the guy you sent to kill Dan.
[Marcus] Chloe, I can explain.
You know what, I don't believe a word you say.
Was anything that happened between us real? Any of it?
[Marcus] I did love you. I still love you.
Life was a curse until I met you.
Since then, I've done whatever it takes to stay alive for you.
[Chloe] All right. Well, I want you to do something then.
I want you to turn yourself in.
It's not happening.
Okay, we've got your guy here.
And he is gonna crack.
[Marcus] He's not gonna say anything.
He knows I can get to his sister.
Chloe, you need to know--
[Chloe] No, I want you to know.
One way or another, Pierce, I am going to find you.
I doubt that.
[groans]
It's okay. It's okay.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
Maze.
You need to rest.
No. I can't stay here.
Pierce is right.
Being on Earth, around all these humans,
all these emotions, makes me weak.
You look like you fought 10 people and ran a mile
to get here.
12 people.
Four miles.
My point is,
you did that
for me.
To save me.
Emotions...
Emotions are hard.
But that's why they make you strong.
And this is...
This is the strongest I've ever seen you.
-Linda, I-- -You don't have to say anything.
Your actions speak plenty.
[groans]
That's the thing.
Actions are easy for me.
That's why I need to say it.
I'm sorry.
Me, too.
[Linda sighs]
But I gotta ask.
Is somebody really trying to kill me?
[scoffs]
Don't worry.
You're safe.
Everything's gonna be fine.
I miss Charlotte.
So do I, Miss Lopez.
I can't believe she's really gone.
And that Pierce would do what he did...
I know, God works in mysterious ways,
and bad things happen for a reason, but...
This many bad things, I just...
I'm having a hard time finding any reason.
Why would he do all this?
[Lucifer scoffs]
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I don't actually think it's my father's fault.
You see, all this time, I thought it was him
pulling the strings,
but I've started to realize that
we are the responsible parties.
It's quite devious of him if you think about it.
We've no one to blame but ourselves.
Screw that.
I blame Pierce.
And, big guy,
you and I are on rocky ground.
-[Chloe] We know about your sister. -Yeah?
Then you know why I'm not talking.
If you cooperate, we can protect her.
You can protect her?
I'm tied to chair, in a penthouse above a nightclub.
You, him, you can't protect anyone.
Where's your safe house, the walk-in closet?
That's what I thought.
Chloe, can I have a second alone with him, please?
Can I leave you alone with him?
Okay.
Oh, God, listen.
-Save whatever threats you think-- -A corrupt cop.
-What? -"A corrupt cop."
That's what Pierce called me
when we first met.
[sighs] I mean, it pissed me off when he said it.
But you know what?
He was right.
I have stolen evidence...
I had someone killed,
and I never regretted it for a split second.
So, if you're wondering
would I kill the guy
who tried to murder me in my sleep
with the gun that killed the woman I loved...
What do you think the answer is?
My sis... My sister, Kelsey,
she's all I care about, the only thing.
So,
if you can prove to me that you can really,
and I mean really protect her,
I'll tell you whatever you wanna know.
I just... I'll tell you whatever you wanna know.
His sister's address.
Once we can prove she's safe,
he promised he'd give us everything we need.
Okay, Lucifer and I will go get her.
You guys stay here, keep an eye on him.
All right, the sister's loft should be right up here.
-All right. -Detective.
[sighs] This is all my fault.
What, no, no, no, you can't blame yourself for Pierce.
No, you were right.
You tried to warn me about him, and I didn't listen to you.
Although, who could believe anything you say?
Angels, demons, immortal men...
Detective, I always tell you the truth.
No.
You tell me your truth.
And I know that all of these metaphors, they're real for you.
But I think...
I think humoring them has just encouraged you,
and that's on me. But I'm done.
-Detective. -No more metaphors,
no more Devil talk.
I've told you before,
you may think that that's what you are, but...
I don't see you that way.
Lately, I'm not sure I do, either.
All right, well...
First thing's first.
-Right. -Yeah.
-Come on. -Okay.
[Chloe] Hello?
Kelsey, are you here?
Your brother sent us.
Are you sure? Okay. All right. Thanks.
-What's going on? -I called in a favor to Detroit P.D.,
had them run that dude's prints on the DL.
-Uh-huh. And? -He's an only child.
There is no sister.
So that means that they're walking into a trap.
Something doesn't feel right.
I wouldn't do that, Chloe.
[guns cocking]
You don't have to do this, Pierce.
Yes, I do.
And normally, I would just skip town and reinvent myself.
But this time, I can't.
-[gun cocking] -Not before I kill Lucifer.
What? Why?
Because I know that he'll never stop hunting me.
And I can't afford to spend the rest of my days
looking over my shoulder.
But you don't have to die, Chloe.
Step away from him.
Detective, for once, I agree with this imbecile.
Step aside.
-No. -Detective.
Chloe.
I believed everything you said, Marcus.
That you loved me,
that you did all of this for me.
Which is why I know that you won't shoot.
You made me realize that life is worth living.
And I will do anything to stay alive.
And if you get in the way of that...
Okay,
I believe you.
I don't wanna die.
And I can't,
not without stopping you.
No! No! Detective!
No, no, no, this can't happen.
This...
Finish him. Finish it!
No!
[gunfire]
[screaming]
[groans]
-What happened? -You're safe.
That's all that matters.
We need to find Pierce.
[wings unfurling]
[rock music playing]
[thugs groan]
[screams]
[both grunting]
I guess it's just you and me now.
[grunting]
[cell phone ringing]
-Dan? -Hey, Chloe.
-It's a trap. -I know, I know.
We had to find out the hard way.
Pierce, he tried to kill us.
What? Are you okay?
[Chloe] Yeah, I am.
I don't know how,
but I am.
Or maybe I do know.
Maybe I've been avoiding
-the biggest truth this whole-- -[gunfire]
I have to go.
[Dan] Chloe, don't go in there without backup.
There's no point.
The Detective's a safe distance away now.
No, it's good.
I came prepared.
As I recall,
this can kill you pretty well.
A fair fight it is then, Cain.
[both grunting]
[chuckles]
Someone's been working out.
[groans]
Now, I promised you
that I would find a way to kill you.
[groaning]
I am a Devil of my word.
[groans] Is Chloe okay?
[scoffs]
She's fine,
no thanks to you.
[groans]
[laughs]
Now that I know I'm dying, I don't know what I was so afraid of.
[chuckles]
I'm going to Heaven.
You really believe that?
I told you, Lucifer. I don't regret anything I've done.
Yes, but that was before you killed Charlotte Richards.
No! No, that was an accident.
Well, you pulled the trigger.
You ended her life. You chose to kill her.
Deep down,
you know you're a monster.
And that you belong in Hell,
where you would torture yourself with that truth for eternity.
'Cause no matter what you tell yourself,
you can't outrun what you've done,
what you truly are.
And neither can you.
[laughing evilly]
Lucifer.
[sighs]
It's all true.
Detective?
It's all true.
