Lucifer (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Quid Pro Ho - full transcript

Charlotte is determined to get Lucifer to leave Earth by turning Chloe against him. Meanwhile, Amenadiel has begun working as Charlotte's soldier, which makes Maze question his loyalty.

Previously on Lucifer...
DAN: You stalked

your father's murderer
right before he was killed.

CHLOE:
I know this looks bad.

Whoever killed Joe Fields
killed my father.

LUCIFER: What, you think
the warden did it?

CHLOE:
This man killed my father.

You tore

apart my family.

I can get you whatever you want.

All I want is for you to know

that John Decker's kid got you.



DAN: His name is Boris Sokolov.
He connects criminals,

but he always keeps
his own hands clean.

People call me
Human Lie Detector.

So, you point me
in the right direction

or I'm gonna make your
life a living hell.

Mom, this is Lucifer.
Lucifer, Mom.

Mama Decker.

You shall remain right here

on Earth amongst the creatures
you so despise.

You're going to send me into
the life of Charlotte Richards?

I thought I'd dive
into my employment.

I was pretty surprised
when you called me.

MOM:
You are fairly attractive.

The only place I've ever felt



wanted or respected...

Is here with humanity?!

This is my home!

Deal with it, Mother!

MOM:
You seem attached

to these creatures
and I can't figure out why.

Let me at least buy you dinner
tonight to celebrate.

(beeping)

Excuse me.

Yeah. (chuckles)
I'll get it for you.

Thank you.

AMENADIEL:
You can't kill her, Mom.

Well, of course I can.

I just press this button.

Mom, please...

give me the detonator.

No.
This little bug is the reason

that Lucifer doesn't
want to go home.

Squash her, problem solved.

Are you really gonna make me
force it away from you?

Trust me,
you don't want to do that.

But I can't let you kill Chloe,
Mom.

(grunts)

Since when can you...

I tried to warn you.

Apparently,
paltry human flesh can't

contain my divinity.

Oh, here we go.

Bomb's in the car.

So exciting.

(giggles)

Mom, stop!

I am trying to help you.

I know Lucifer better
than he knows himself

and if you kill Chloe,

he won't rest
until he finds out who did it

and when he does, Mom,

he will hate you forever.

Come on.

One little human can't mean
more to him than his family.

He killed Uriel to protect her.

Well...

what's so damn special
about this one?

That I don't know.

But, Mom, the bottom line is

if we want Luci
to go home with us,

then we need to make sure
that it's his decision

to leave Chloe behind.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

(groans)

(shouts)

So, I need to find

a more subtle way

to end Lucifer's silly crush.

(sighs)

LINDA:
Tell me everything.

Well, there's...

nothing to say, really.

You had a date...

with Chloe.

That's a big deal, Lucifer.

I need to hear about it.

You know, as your therapist.

Well, for one, I wouldn't say
it was a big deal and...

it wasn't a date, just dinner...

more like a snack, actually,
between friends.

Oh, how was the food?

I've heard their branzino
is amazing.

Well, yeah, it's...

hard to say, really.

Too caught up in the moment
to notice?

Caught up, in-in a way, yes.

You chickened out, didn't you?

(laughing):
What?

I'm the Devil, Doctor.

I don't chicken out.

Ah. I just simply
thought that she should

enjoy the food without any...

distractions.

Listen, you know, I get it.

Our last breakthrough
spooked you

and now you're running scared.

I don't "run scared"
any more than I "chicken."

(chuckles)
Not literally.

But you're avoiding the truth.

Also known as lying.

That I know I don't do... ever.

But yet...

you are lying, Lucifer...

(laughs)

to yourself.

* Hey! *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* Hey! *

* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh *

* Hey. *

I owe you an explanation.

Really? Why?

Was it for...

leaving me all alone
at a restaurant so the busboy

could give me pitiful
glances all night?

I know what your explanation is
and I don't want

to know her name,
especially not today.

Actually, Detective, that isn't
what I was going to say, I...

Look, Lucifer,
I don't have time for this.

I was just on my way out.

Besides, this is my fault.

I should've known how selfish
and thoughtless you can be.

Lucifer.

(chuckles)

How thoughtful.

Penelope.

You are the sweetest

to come support us
on such a difficult day.

Oh.
I bet you

an arm and a leg, Mom,

that he has no idea
what today is.

Well, that's rather unwise
of you to wager your lovely

extremities, Detective.

Particularly
as I'm perfectly aware

of what today is, actually.

It's a very difficult day...

because...

Today.
Today is...

The first day the first day...

of the of...

trial of the trial of...

my dad's killer.
My dad's killer!

Nietzsche? No, wait.

Your dad's killer.
Yes, no, I knew that.

I knew that. That's why
I'm here, to support you.

Not talk about myself
'cause that would be selfish.

Yeah.
So...

consider me

an emotional jockstrap

for the Decker family jewels.
(chuckles)

(whistling)

Hey.

Hmm, someone's chirpy
for a Monday morning.

(chuckles)

Yes, I am.

Why?

What's going on?

What, do I need
an excuse to be happy?

Hmm, I mean, you're whistling.

You've been...
working out lately.

Mm.
(sniffs)

Musk-scented aftershave.

Did you...

get laid?

(laughs)

(scoffs)
No.

Oh, no, no.

Don't waste your poker
face on me, buddy;

I know that grin.

I'm still in shock.

I knew it.

She's gorgeous.
Yeah, well,

it's not like you're Quasimodo.
No, no, no, no.

Trust me,
she is way out of my league.

I mean, she is

goddess-like.

And she came back for seconds.

Then maybe she's the one who
sent you the mystery package.

A mystery package?

Mm-hmm.

I don't recognize
the return address.

Oh, jeez.

God!

(sighs)

Wish I could say
it was my first.

That's Boris.

Chloe's gonna lose it.

So poised.

The detective obviously
gets her strength from you.

(scoffs)
This?

It's just acting.

Sadly, I've had... practice.

I played this role before,
16 years ago.

Well, maybe it's
like butt stuff.

Easier the second time around.

(whispering): The severed
head of Boris Sokolov

just arrived at the precinct.

(whispering):
That's horrible!

Who's Boris?

He's the prosecution's
key witness.

He's our key witness.

He was the only person
that could connect Perry

to the Russian gang.
I mean, without him,

the entire case
could fall apart.

Oh, God.

How very convenient
for Mr. Perry.

(sighs)

(whispering): This is the worst thing
that could be happening right now.

* Before the storm
there's a calm in the air *

* You're the daydream
and I'll be your nightmare *

* Turned your back *

* Thought that I'd disappear *

* But, honey, I'm right here *

* Whoa *

* Whoa, oh *

* Whoa *

* The queen is back. *

What are you up to now, Mother?

* *

I had no idea Charlotte Richards

was defending Perry.

Wishing we hadn't saved
her life about now.

Well, not to worry, Detective.

I hear Charlotte
is a changed woman

since her disappearance, so...

maybe she's not the
shark she once was.

At least not in the courtroom.

All rise.

Court is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Estrada
presiding.

Given the sudden death

of the State's
number one witness,

I assume the defense
is moving for a dismissal?

A motion for dismissal?

Why would I want that,
Your Honor?

(chuckles)
Looks like Jaws

has been harpooned.

MOM:
My apologies.

I'm a little...
out of practice.

Um...

Oh, I see.

You're saying that
with Boris dead,

the State doesn't have
enough evidence to proceed?

So, if I don't
move for dismissal,

then he'll probably make
a complete fool of himself?

Your Honor, our case was

and still is unshakable.

The State has plenty

of other evidence
that'll prove 16 years ago,

the defendant, Perry Smith,

murdered Officer John Decker

and paid Joe Fields to go
to prison for that crime.

Oh, and when Fields
wanted out of their deal,

Perry also killed him.

Your Honor,
with all due respect,

granting a dismissal

would be ludicrous.

Boris Sokolov's death,

while undoubtedly tragic,

changes nothing.

Well, the defense agrees.

What?

His death doesn't
change a single thing.

With or without
Mr. Sokolov's testimony,

my client should never
have been charged

with these crimes.

Well...

seeing as both parties agree,

the trial will proceed
immediately.

Actually, Your Honor,

the State would like to, uh,

request a continuance.

In light of the death
of our key witness,

our office needs time
to, uh, reexamine

its strategy.

But I'm confused, Your Honor.

Didn't we just hear
the prosecution say

their case was "unshakable"?

We did.

Request denied.

Session will resume after lunch.

What the hell are you doing,
Mother?

Oh, calm down, Lucifer.

This isn't pleasant
for me, either.

Oh, yes, I can see
you're suffering terribly.

I was good up there, wasn't I?

Not sure why humans spend
so much time in law school.

Two nights seemed plenty.

Mum.

I had to find a way
to open your eyes.

You need to see that
this Chloe you so adore

isn't worthy of you.

(scoffs)

I admit I enjoy working
with her, but adore,

that's a bit much.

Oh, please. You've sacrificed
more for her

than you ever have
for anyone else.

Have you forgotten?
You killed your brother,

my son, to protect her.

Do you think there's anything
even remotely similar

that she would do for you?

I suppose...

I don't know.

Well, if all goes according
to plan in that courtroom,

you will know.

Know that she doesn't
deserve you,

because she doesn't
care about you

like you care about her.

You need to see that you're
not meant to be together.

You belong with your family.

Which is why I have to do this.

Do what, Mum?

What sort of evil plan
are you concocting?

And please don't tell me
it began by killing Boris.

Oh, actually, that was
just a happy twist of fate.

I was gonna blow Chloe up,

but Amenadiel
talked me out of it.

You what?!

Mother, I swear,
if you hurt her, I will rip...

Well, looks like
your brother was right.

Just promise me that
you won't touch her.

I'm not going to hurt anyone.

Lucifer, you promise me,

whatever that was, that
it doesn't affect the trial.

First of all, Detective,
there is no "that."

And secondly, rest assured,
everything will be okay.

I've got this.

You looking for Boris'
forensics report?

(sighs)

Uh-huh.

Hasn't come in yet.

Ella should have it
any minute now.

I know this isn't my case,
but I'm freaking out, Dan.

I can't let Perry get
away with everything.

You won't.

You didn't see Charlotte
Richards in court today.

(high-pitched): Char...?
(clears his throat)

I'm sorry. Uh,

Charlotte Richards
is, uh, defending Perry?

Yeah.

Really?
She's that good?

Yes, she's the best.

Which is why it would
be helpful if we could...

Well, if you could tie
Perry to Boris' murder.

Okay, well, motive
and M.O. line up.

Boris' tongue was cut out.

So the killer was sending
a really clear message...

Loose lips get
their head clipped.

Perry did this so Boris
couldn't testify, I know it.

But hasn't he been behind bars
since you arrested him?

Yeah, but he could have
orchestrated it in prison.

It's also his M.O.

Exactly, and if Perry
is good at anything,

it's making other people
pay for his crimes.

Okay, well, whoever
Perry hired to do this

was one sharp dude.

The cut on Boris' neck
is extremely precise.

I'm thinking industrial-size
professional slicer.

Listen, I'm gonna do
everything I can to find him.

Even if I have to interview
the owner

of every single
meat slicer in L.A.

ELLA:
You won't have to.

There was also
non-human DNA on Boris.

Swine, to be exact.

A unique cross-bred
for its delicious meat.

And there's only
one place that sells it.

Ah!

Hi.

That's so sweet of you, but you
don't have to stick around.

Trials can be so boring.
Well,

not this one.

What do you mean?

Mr. Morningstar,

we're ready for you.

Wonderful.
Lovely. Right.

Off I go to shield you from
that Quid Pro Ho, Detective.

Lucifer, what are you doing?

Well, I figured
there's no reason for us

to lose our heads just
because Boris lost his.

I swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth,

so help me Dad.

Mr. Morningstar,

you were there
when Boris was arrested.

Right? Working with
Detective Espinoza.

That is correct.

Except I call him
Detective Douche.

(laughter)

But that's another story.

So would you
please describe to us

what happened?

Yes, I'd love to, actually.

May-may I have the floor?

By all means.

LUCIFER:
Thank you.

I'm going to need...

Hello.

May I borrow your scarf?

Your Honor, is this necessary?

Well, you want
the full story, don't you?

I mean, the Devil's
in the details.

Thank you ever so much.

Right. Myself
and Detective Douche...

Sorry, Detective Espinoza...

Were asked by the LAPD

to perform a sting operation.

Not the singer.

(laughter)
So we had to go undercover

at Boris' bathhouse.

Guns of steel...

Got up there...
(imitated slashing sound)

Walked over like
he's constantly got

a gun between his legs...

Boris looked me in the eye,
and he said,

(Russian accent): "People call
me human lie detector."

He was going to kill...

Shook my hand like
some kind of Roman warrior...

and it was sealed, and I
handed over the investigation

to Detective Decker.

Thank you.
(laughter, applause)

* Stop draggin' me down *

* *

* Stop dragging me down, yeah. *

DAN:
I got a question.

Do you ever get the feeling
like you've been used?

You mean, by...
Oh, I don't know...

The woman who's defending the
killer of your ex-wife's dad?

What?

Charlotte Richards is
the gorgeous lady

you slept with, right?

How the hell did you know that?

Well, I saw a long,
honey-blonde hair

on your coat the other day.

It was curlier than Chloe's.
And then,

I spotted a smudge of lipstick

on your cuff...
Burgundy shade.

Bold, but not too sexy.
Lawyer color.

Really?

No. I just saw
your butt pucker

when Chloe mentioned her name
in the lab this morning.

God.

Why are you so worried?

I mean, you didn't tell her
anything about the case

that she could
use in court, right?

I don't think so, but...
There you go.

Mezcal cocktails, man.

Oof. Those sneak up on you.

She did keep wanting
to talk about our exes,

and all I thought was, you know
what, she's so easy to talk to.

She's so sympathetic.

God, I'm such an idiot.

Hey...
No, her taking Perry's case

right after we...

It can't be a coincidence.

Why not?

Maybe she really just likes you.
Yeah.

44.
Hi. We'll take

the headless body of a dude
named Boris, please.

I was going to call you guys.

I was just... scared.

A few days ago,
this guy approached me.

Big creepy dude.

He demanded the keys to use
the equipment after hours.

No questions asked,
unless I wanted

to end up in the sausage myself.

Do you know his name?
No.

Asian, big.

Very scary.

But the scar on his neck
it's very distinctive.

Thank you, Mr. Morningstar.

What a, uh, vivid picture.

It's almost as if Boris
himself just testified.

(quietly): Except
a more handsome version.

Oh, stop it, Judy.

(chuckles)

(clears throat)
Thank you.

Right actually, to that,

I would like to add one
more thing, if I may...

I think we've had
enough, Your Honor.

Shh!

Please...

continue Luc...

Mr. Morningstar.

Thank you, my darling.

Yes, I'd just like to say,
for the record,

the LAPD, and Detective Decker,
in particular,

acted impeccably on this case.

This whole courtroom,
nay, the entire city

can rest assured that
someone as honest,

trustworthy, and reliable
as Detective Decker

is out there protecting them.

She is... truly good.

And I don't mean in bed.

I wouldn't know.

That's how good she is.

Thank you.

Miss Richards?

Your witness.

I have no questions
at this time.

(thunder crashes)

Hey!

That's Chloe's car.

What are you looking for?

Hey.

I was, um...

You.

I was looking for you.

Really?

Yeah, I've missed you.

It's true, I still
think about you, Maze.

Every day. And every time
that I see you, it's...

I miss you, too.

It's like fireworks, isn't it?

(chuckles)

But are you sure that's the kind

you're looking for?

Or was it this?

One... tell your mother no one
is hurting Chloe on my watch.

And, two...

Don't ever lie
to me like that again.

STEDMAN:
And what did Boris have to say

when you interrogated him?

He confessed that he
routinely provided fall guys

for the Russian gang
that runs the prison

where the defendants worked
since the late '90s.

STEDMAN: And is there
anything else

that is remarkable
about this prison?

It is the very prison
whose corruption

John Decker was investigating

when he was murdered
16 years ago.

Holy cow.

It's all so coincidental,
isn't it?

Just like the odd timing
of Boris' murder.

I withdraw that, Your Honor.

No further questions.

Thank you, Detective.

I have no questions
for this witness.

STEDMAN: The prosecution
rests, Your Honor.

Your turn to shine,
Ms. Richards.

As its first witness,

the defense would like
to recall Lucifer Morningstar.

Oh, it's fine.

Just one small question,
Mr. Morningstar.

And please remember
that you're still

under oath.

Who was first
on the Fields crime scene?

First on the scene was
the detective, I believe.

I'm sorry, which detective?

Detective Decker.

MOM:
Are you sure?

How do you know?

LUCIFER: Quite sure.
Yeah, she told me.

It's kind of strange, isn't it,

for the man accused
of killing John Decker

to be found dead
by Decker's own daughter,

Chloe Decker?

Objection, Your Honor.
Relevance?

I'm getting to that.

Would you please read who,

according to the
official police report,

was the first officer
on the scene?

(whispering):
What's wrong?

I'll tell you later.

Well, it says
Detective Espinoza.

I thought you said Chloe Decker
was an impeccable detective.

Objection, Your Honor!

No, I-I'd like
to answer that.

She is. That's why she

took herself off the
investigation immediately.

But not until after she'd found
her dad's killer dead?

(groans)
STEDMAN: Objection!

What's he objecting to...
Air quotes?

I'm simply stating that
if what we just heard is true,

then there's a very plausible
alternative story

to the one that the State
is presenting.

Chloe Decker had motive,
opportunity,

and the LAPD to protect her
and help her frame

an innocent man
for her personal vendetta.

With all due respect,
Your Honor,

Chloe Decker
is not on trial here.

MOM: And my client
shouldn't be, either.

Because it appears
he is the victim

of the LAPD's incompetence.

Unless, of course,
the report is right,

and it is you that is lying,
Mr. Morningstar?

What you're implying
is preposterous.

The Detective
would never hurt anyone.

But yes.

What I said is the truth.

Under oath or otherwise.

I don't lie.

LUCIFER:
Detective?

Please. Trust me, you do not
want to talk to me right now.

You're right, I don't.
You look scary.

But look, I apologize
for my controversial testimony,

but I was clearly bamboozled.

You didn't expect me to lie
on the stand, did you?

It's not about your answers.

It's about Charlotte's
questions.

She wouldn't have even asked
them unless she already knew

I was first on scene.

Let's see.
Who could've told her?

Detective, I didn't.

You say that, but you also said

your relationship with Charlotte
wouldn't affect this trial.

It just did.

Detective!

* *

Charlotte?

How could you do this to me?

What exactly?

I've done several things to you.

Did you sleep with me
to get intel on this case?

Of course, but it's not like you
didn't get anything out of it.

"Mind altering,"
I believe you called it.

Yeah, literally, apparently.

Because I don't remember telling
you anything about this case.

Did you roofie me or something?
I didn't need to.

I've learned sex puts your
gender into a mild coma.

Offered the perfect window
to go through your phone.

So, maybe...

next time, you should
put your phone away

before we have the sex.

"Next time"?

Mm-hmm.

Are you insane?

(whispers):
You tell me.

(sighs)

LINDA: I wish I could say
that I'm surprised

Maze blew up your car.

She is...

Maze.

I know, right?

Slightest provocation,

and she turns into a little...
Hellion?

Exactly.

Let me ask you though...

Why do you think
that she reacted so...

passionately?

Because she's a complete maniac
fueled by rage and violence.

Now, as your friend,
not your... therapist,

you feel you did
nothing at all to anger her?

Well, s...

Maybe not nothing.

I may have obscured
the truth a bit.

Otherwise known as lying.
Linda,

I had no choice.
You have to understand that.

Oh, I do. Oh, I do.
You were... you were dealing

with matters
of great importance.

So important, you feel justified

to act any way you see fit.

Even if that means hurting
people you care about.

You "did what you had to do."

(exhales)

That's, uh...

that's what I did to you.

I treated Maze the same way
that I treated you.

Yeah, except I'm
just your friend.

And Maze is...

well, more.

So, it's way worse.

And as my friend,

your advice is?

Apologize your ass off.

Or next time,
she might blow that up.

(sighs)

MAZE:
Maybe you don't understand.

Mommy Dearest
tried to kill Chloe.

Oh, I understand. She told me.

She did?
Yes. We're past that.

What I don't understand, though,

is how the detective
can think I'm the one

who leaked
sensitive information to my mum.

How could she?

Yeah, Chloe's the bad guy.

Mm.

If only I knew who really gave Mom
that information. (elevator dings)

Right. If only.

Oh! Good. You came.

Yes, he did.

Thanks for coming, Dan.

Anything up lately?

I don't know. You tell me.

Lucifer called me here.

Yes. Well, I was thinking,
as my testimony didn't go

quite as planned, that it
might help fix things to prove

that Perry was behind
Boris' killing.

Already working on it, man.
Fantastic!

Well then, please tell me you
have some scintillating

cop-speak on how to accomplish
that tiny task.

Well, uh, the guy who chopped
Boris's head off had this scar.

It's actually a brand.

Signature of the
Alhambra Triads,

they're a Chinese
crime syndicate.

Lots of them were
in the prison that Perry ran.

Triads hate the Russians, so

makes sense to pit them
against each other.

Yeah. You should definitely
probe this angle.

Mm.
(sniffles)

Rumors are they use a Chinese
cultural center as a front.

Right. Well, let's start
there then, shall we?

DAN:
These guys

are notoriously violent,
so let's try to get

in and out as quickly
as possible, all right?

Oh, speaking of "in and out,"

this case really seems
to be touching you, Dan.

You know,
in a very personal way.

All right. Shh. Yeah.
It's personal, obviously.

Just try to keep it
down, all right?

Well, it's almost
like you want to take

Charlotte Richards
down yourself.

Like, way down,
and give her a hard time.

What are you trying
to say, Maze?

Yes, what are you
driving at, Maze?

"Driving at."

Good one.

N-No. I'm just...

really impressed with
how much Dan wants to penetrate

this thing from every

position.

You know?

Oh, yeah.
Know what?

I bet that's what she said,
didn't she? (titters)

Oh, yeah!

Oh, Dan!

Big boy. (growling):
All right, all right!

Fine.

Yes. It's my fault.

I leaked the information
to Charlotte.

Among other things.

I'm why she knew Chloe
was first at the scene.

She must have looked at my
text messages after we...

You what?

Made... love.

You slept with my... M-arlotte?

You bastard!

Whoa!

(grunting)

(guns clicking)

Oh, now look what you've done.

Wha...?

Da-da... Don't be a Dan.

I'll deal with this.

Right.

Which one of you chaps
is in charge?

Oh, very well.

(speaks in Chinese)

DAN:
You speak Chinese?

What...?
I'm the Devil.

Of course I speak Chinese.
I speak everything.

(continues speaking in Chinese)

Lucifer Morningstar.

(continues speaking in Chinese)

(speaks in Chinese)

Lovely.

Furen Li Chunhua.

(Lucifer speaking in Chinese)

Daniel.

What's he saying over there?

No idea.

Xie xie.

Okeydokes. I think
I've brokered a fair deal.

Madame Li is gonna give us
the man who killed Boris.

All we have to do
is defeat Kang.

And who the hell is Kang?

* *

(laughing)

(chuckles)

And who's supposed to fight him?
(chuckles)

Aww, hell no.
No, no.

Much as I'd like to see
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Douche,

I'd actually like to win this.
I was pointing at Maze.

(scoffs, grunts)

Why not?

Okay, sure.

She's terrifying.

But what happens if we lose?

They kill us.

Well, you.

'Cause I'm immortal.

Right. Shall we?

(punches)

* *

Choose your weapon.

I choose those.

You done?

(punches, screams)

(grunts)

* I'm deep, I'm deep *

* Deeper in the situation
that I ever thought I would be *

* I be *

* I see, I see *

* My reflection is going,
this river is flowing on me *

* It's raining *

* She's playing *

* I feel it from below
and I know *

* The Devil's got a hold on me *
Ooh!

Hoo-ah.

She likes that move.

* The toll it's taking *

* It's raining *

* She's playing *

* I've done it once
and I'll do it again *

* The Devil's got a hold on me *

(Kang exclaims)

* Oh, on me *

(crunches)

(wolf whistles)

Down, girl.

Are you serious?
Well,

I mean, you did
get two new toys.

Well, that sucked.

Hmm?

But a deal's a deal.

Indeed.
The one you seek

was banished for working
outside the family.

We don't break bread
with strangers.

You'll find him at this address.

Xie Xie.

No problem.
(exhales)

See? Easy peasy, Chinese-y.

CHLOE:
Dan's got a lead

on Boris' killer,
and it may implicate Perry.

So, if he is responsible,
it might not matter

what happens in this trial.
(exhales)

Well, that's great, 'cause we
are getting our asses kicked.

Well. I have to testify next.

I just hope
I don't make things worse.

Oh, you'll do great, honey.
You're a pro.

Right, Mom. A real pro.

Like when I followed
the prison van.

Mom, what if I'm the reason
Dad's killer goes free?

Don't you dare.

No father in the world was
more proud of his daughter

than your dad.

And nothing you could do
in that courtroom

or anywhere
will ever change that.

(footsteps)

I just miss him.

I want him to get
the justice he deserves.

Justice is what
we all want, dear.

For your father,

and for my client.

You're a mother.

Aren't you?

Yes.

Then shame on you.

We need to talk.

Man, he better be here.

If we can convince him
to give up Perry,

I won't feel so bad about
having slept with Charl...

La la la la!
No more talk

of that disgusting
offense, please.

I thought you said
you hadn't slept with her.

I haven't, wouldn't ever.

I'm just upset
for the detective.

What, you think I'm not?

I would do anything
to right this.

(sighs):
I know you would.

LAPD! Put your hands
where I can see 'em!

Whoa!

Well, looks like we found Boris,

at the head
of the table, ironically.

And that's Da Young.
I'd say we were right.

Perry hired him to go
behind the Triad's back

to kill Boris, knowing that
they'd punish him for it.

Clever Perry, killed two birds
with one stone.

Three, if you count the chicken.

CHLOE:
You've got a lot of nerve.

Yes, I've been told.

And legs for days.

Now, listen, you're losing bad.

Without Boris, the
prosecution's evidence

is mostly circumstantial.

And, unfortunately for you,

Lucifer's testimony
basically handed me

a non-guilty verdict.

This trial is over.

Maybe.

But the investigation
into that monster

that you call a client
is ongoing.

So one way or another,

he wi...
(cell phone rings)

Hmm.

Bad news?

I may have a solution.

My client isn't fully
aware we're winning.

However, he is more than aware

that he's facing
the death penalty.

And we both know he's a coward.

I could use the possibility

of a lethal injection
to get him to plead guilty.

You're supposed to be
on his side.

Why are you doing this?

Well, there is one condition.

You'd have to betray Lucifer.

So...

you want Perry to go to jail,

call Lucifer a liar.

"A liar"?

If there's one thing he cares
about more than anything,

it's his honor.

See you in court.

(clears her throat)

MOM:
Detective Decker,

Lucifer Morningstar
is your partner, correct?

Yes.

He's a civilian
consultant for the LAPD.

We work cases together.

And how is he qualified
for this role?

He is very, uh, intuitive.

He, um, understands
people's desires.

MOM: And in
addition to that,

I assume he studied
law enforcement?

Not to my knowledge, no.

MOM:
Oh, okay.

But he has
a professional background,

which is somehow relevant
to law enforcement?

He owns a nightclub.

MOM:
Okay, but then,

I'm sure his previous job

was more relevant to his role

as a civilian consultant
for the LAPD?

Right?
Mm.

Well, if you believe his claims

that he used to run Hell...

(chokes, clears throat)

then yes, he's accustomed
to punishing bad guys.

(muffled murmurs)

It's true.

I'm confused, Detective.

Are you suggesting your
partner is delusional,

or just lying?

Lucifer Morningstar
is many things,

but he is not a liar.

Everything that
Mr. Morningstar said

on this stand is
absolutely true.

I was the first person
on that crime scene.

And, yes, I shouldn't
have been anywhere near it.

But I...

let my emotions

get the best of me.

(clears her throat)

Lucifer is the...

best partner

I have ever had.

And I can only hope that
he can count on me

as much as I count on him.

STEDMAN: Your Honor, we request
the jury be instructed

to disregard Detective Decker's
entire testimony.

We'll take a ten-minute recess.

(overlapping reporter chatter)

REPORTER: Harry,
are you surprised

by that "not guilty" verdict?

No. I'm never surprised
to see justice served.

I believe in our legal system.

And now I can finally
return to my family

a free man, so,
if you'll excuse me.

(cameras clicking)

(reporters calling for Chloe)

(seagulls squawking)

I'm sorry to bother you,
um, I was, um...

I'm looking for Maze.

Do you know what apartment
she lives in?

Oh, yes, but she's not home.

Why, did you get in a fight?

(laughs)

I'm sorry, it's
none of my business.

It's just, my husband...

always gave me flowers
after an argument.

Are you all right?
(sighs)

I used to believe

everything happens for a reason.

But now, I'm not so sure.

(chuckles)

Me, neither.

But I do know that
no matter how bad things get,

the true test is
how we choose to respond

to the pain we suffer.

Or inflict.

That's well said.

Maze is a lucky girl.

Hope she forgives you.

Ha! Huh.

I'm sorry, you...
you look really familiar.

I'm Chloe's mom?

Have we met?

No, I don't believe we have.

I never forget a face.

If you'll excuse me,
I have to go.

Oh.

* *

* Nowhere to run
nowhere to hide... *

* I'm the one... *

Good night, Rosie.

* Into the dark
and outta the light *

* I'm the one who
goes bump in the night *

* *

Perry Smith.

I know you had Boris killed.

I also know you're responsible

for the murder of Jill Fields

and John Decker.

Aw, such a shame there's
no evidence, right?

The system kind of needs proof.

Yeah.

You clean your mess,
we got nada.

But you know who's
okay with nada?

Or shall I say nichego?

Yeah, that's right.

You see, the Russians,

they don't like it
when one of their own

is taken out without permission.

But who knows?

Maybe they won't hear about it.

Whoa.

Aah!
(muffled shouting)

My pleasure, Meesha.

Dozvidanya.

(tires screeching)

* I'm the one that goes
bump in the night... *

I didn't think
you had it in you.

I'm impressed.

Drive.

* That goes bump in the night *

* I'm the one, I'm the one *

* I'm the one *

* I'm the one and only one. *

You were right.

You are nothing like Father.

Oh? What changed
your mind?

If I tell you this,
you have to come

completely clean
with me, Mother.

No more secrets, Mom.
No more lies.

Okay.

What happened?

35 years ago, Father,

He asked me to come down here

to bless a couple who was
unable to have a child.

He had never asked me
to do anything of this sort,

and He never did again.

Today...

I met the mother again.

And I found out what the result

of that miracle was.

Or, rather, who.

(elevator bell dings)

Oh, hey.
Detective.

Sorry, I thought...
What are you doing here?

Are you on your way out?

I am, yes.

Oh...
To see you, actually.

Oh.

I believe I owe you dinner.

MOM: Now we know why
Chloe's so special.

Don't we?

Your Father put her here.

In Lucifer's path.

You know what this means?

It means...
that I was a pawn.

* Can you feel it
coming in the air tonight *

Say when.

When!
(laughter)

When.

I hope you know it takes months

to get a reservation
at this place.

Oh, yeah.
The fries are amazing.

Oh, thank you.
I made them myself.

It means Chloe's
not an obstacle.

She's how you'll
get your wings back.

She's how we'll get it all back.

* But I don't know
if you know... *

Detective?

What you said
today in the courtroom...

It was the truth.

* In the air tonight *

* Oh, Lord *

* I've been waiting
for this moment *

We're going home, son.

And Chloe is the Key.

* I can feel it coming *

* In the air tonight *

* Oh, Lord. *
