Lucifer (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 10 - Partners 'Til the End - full transcript

Desperate to rescue Rory, Lucifer and Chloe confront her kidnapper with guns and wings blazing. Lucifer finally comes to terms with his purpose.

[no audible dialogue]

How is this possible?

How can Le Mec have Rory?
You said Dan was in his body!

Apparently not anymore.
How did he even get his hands on her?

She's an angel!

Half.

Half angel, half human.

She has all of your celestial abilities,

but she has
all of my human vulnerabilities.

But she is the best of both of us,

and I am gonna get her back.



Lucifer! No, I am not
letting you walk right into a trap.

We know you don't come out of this,
but I do, so stay here.

Let me save Rory.

I am the devil, and Le Mec is just a man.

A bloody Frenchman,
to add insult to injury! [scoffs]

You, on the other hand,
are carrying our child.

- You can't go.
- Le Mec has our adult baby right now.

We don't know if she makes it out okay.

But this baby will be fine.

We know that.

We don't know the future
is set in stone. [gasping]

Look, you were the one saying
I always have a choice, and you're right.

We both know
the only choice I would ever make

is to try and save our daughter.



Me too.

- So then we both go.
- Chloe...

Partners to the end. Right?

Partners to the end.

[chains rattle]

- [gun cocks]
- [gasps]

Bonjour.

[chains rattle]

Where am I?

Who are you?

Oh, my name is Vincent Le Mec.

You've heard of me?

Yeah, you...

you're infamous in the future.

Oh. For killing the devil?

No.

[laughing] For choking to death

on a corn dog, while taking a shit.

[both laugh]

You die Elvis-style, dude.

[laughing continues]

You?

No, I've... I've never heard of you.

Le Merde.

In the future, no one's ever heard of you.

[both laugh]

I cannot tell
if you are lying or no. [laughs]

And it doesn't matter.

Only one thing matters.

Lucifer Morningstar will come here,

and he will never leave.

Tonight...

fate is on my side.

We're at 10th and Swanson?

Ah!

[mutters, sighs] How?

Lucifer told your friend Daniel
all about it.

He did not realize I was in here,

listening along, huh?

And lucky me, he also revealed
the perfect tool to lure him here!

You.

[laughing]

I'm the reason Lucifer disappears?

I'm the reason
I didn't have a father growing up.

Apparently so. Boo-hoo.

Well, Lucifer forgot
to tell you one thing.

Mon Dieu!

[gasps]

- [silenced shot fires]
- [gasps]

[chuckles] Actually, I know
all about your pretty wings.

- [dart fires]
- [Rory groans]

- [gasps]
- One dart has enough to knock out a rhino.

Not bad, little angel.

[distorted breathing]

[distorted whooshing]

Night, night. [chuckles]

I'm not gonna be your bait.

Oh, don't worry.

You're not just the bait.

Just what I'm running from? ♪

♪ Tell me
Is it written in her bloodline? ♪

♪ Bloodline ♪ [echoes]

♪ Is it written in her bloodline? ♪

♪ Or is it?
Is it written in her bloodline? ♪

[Vincent] Go pick her up.

[man speaks French over walkie-talkie]

- [beeps]
- [speaks French]

Drop it.

Really? The radio.

[man speaks French over walkie-talkie]

I said, drop it.

[grunting]

Never bring a knife to a devil fight.

Gah!

[grunts]

[Lucifer gasping]

- [huffs]
- [Chloe sighs]

What?

How is it that you're bleeding?

Oh, my God.

- Is that...?
- One of Rory's feathers, yes.

[gasps] What have
those bastards done to her?

[huffs]

- [chains rattling]
- [groans]

[gasping]

[shudders]

[gasps, grunts]

- [loud snap]
- [screams]

[Rory sobs]

[grunts]

Those are mine!

[grunts]

[whimpers]

Those are mine.

You see? I told you.

You're not just the bait.

You're also the weapon.

One that can even hurt the devil himself.

No, you can't...
you can't use me to hurt Lucifer.

Oh-ho, I can't? [cackles]

Oh, I know.
I'm such a mean Frenchman, huh?

Hurting that nice, sweet devil.

But he...

he's the one...

that is hurting me.

Ever since he whispered in my ear,

I've been in pain.

Terrible... excruciating torture!

[Vincent gasping]

[groans] And now it is my turn...

to torture him.

Lucifer doesn't torture people.

Agree to disagree.

No.

He lets them torture themselves...

with their own guilt.

So he must have brought
Hell to you before you died.

Whatever pain you're whining about,
that's on you, dude.

And looks like
whatever you did in this life

must have been pretty shitty.

Shut up!

Apparently we have two guests.

[sighs]

Even better.

Two?

[Bridget] Do your best
to keep the man alive.

As for the woman,
you can kill her if you want.

Mom! Lucifer!

Stay away! They have my feathers!

They can hurt you! [grunts]

[whimpering, gasping]

- [groans]
- [Vincent exhales]

Comfy?

[Rory groaning]

[grunting]

- [shouting]
- Aah!

[panting] Nice work, partner.

Chloe?

[Chloe gasps]

- Chloe, no.
- [clattering]

- No. [panting]
- [grunts]

I'm fine.

- I'm fine, let's go. Let's go!
- No, no, no, no, no. No!

- You're not fine. You're not fine.
- [whimpers]

- I'm not leaving you.
- Lucifer.

We both know today isn't the day I die.

I'm fine!

You go!

- The fire, it's...
- Lucifer!

We came here to save her.

Please go.

- Please!
- [panting]

I'm gonna bring her back for you. [gasps]

Go!

[whimpers]

[gasping]

[fire crackling]

Rory!

[Vincent] Don't take another step!

You don't have to do this, Vincent.

Oh, I... I don't have to,

but I want to.

I've been in constant anguish
since you whispered in my ear.

Constant torture! [gasps]

I can't take it anymore!

So if you could please make that stop,
that would be great, hmm?

Well, I'm afraid that's not possible.

- Don't make me pull this trigger!
- It's not that I won't!

It's that I can't.

I see, fine.

Fine, then I will
kill your daughter in front of you

and make you share
in the unrelenting pain you've given me.

[Lucifer] It's not pain
you're feeling, Vincent.

It's guilt.

But you've already worked
that part out, haven't you?

I've never felt guilty
about a single thing I've done.

But... [panting]

...now I...

I can't, uh...

I can't escape the pain. [chuckles]

No matter how hard I try.

And you think this little act of revenge
will lessen that pain, don't you? Yeah?

You're about to kill an innocent girl!

If you think you're in pain now,
it's gonna be a thousandfold worse.

[gasps] It's worth it.

It's all worth it,

to make you feel what I feel.

But I won't.

[scoffs]

In order to truly torture someone,

you must know
what they desire more than anything else.

Vincent.

Why don't you ask me, hmm?

It's okay, just ask me!

Go on.

What is it you desire?

[inhales] To see my daughter grow up.

[Lucifer] To be there for her
when she needs me the most.

[Rory grunts softly]

To be the father she deserves.

[Rory sniffles, whimpers]

So, now you know.

If you kill me and me alone,
you won't add to your torture

'cause, well, I'm far from innocent.
Let's be honest, Vincent.

And you'll get what you want.

'Cause I will suffer...

an unimaginable pain.

The pain of leaving behind
the ones I love.

My daughter.

[Rory sighs, whimpers]

Chloe.

And my family.

Yes.

Is that it?

That's what I was looking for.

[Lucifer sniffles, huffs]

Then let's finish this, shall we?

[whimpers] No! No!

[sobbing]

No!

[Rory continues sobbing]

No! No!

[chains clinking]

- [screams]
- Dad!

[gagging]

No! Rory, no!
Rory, no, you can't do this! No!

Rory!

Don't do this, Rory!

- [Vincent gagging]
- He deserves this.

Rory... [gasps]

Rory, killing him
won't change what he's done,

but it will change you.

[Vincent grunts]

[Lucifer] Once you've done this,
there's no going back!

- [panting] Rory.
- [gagging]

I know what it's like
to be consumed by guilt,

by anger and self-hatred. Trust me.

- You do not wanna go down that road.
- [Vincent gags]

You don't wanna live like that.
Do not give in to this monster!

You have to be better than him!

[whispers] Rory, please,
you have to be better than me.

Please be better than me.

Rory...

Rory!

[gasps] Please.

[panting]

You called me "Dad."

- Did I?
- [Lucifer exhales]

I thought I said something like, "Damn!"

"That hurts."

When I ripped my wings to,
you know, save your life.

[gasps] Are you okay?

Yeah.

[Lucifer gasps, sighs]

Mm.

[screams]

- [gunshot]
- [shouts, gags]

[Rory gasps] Mom!

[Vincent gasping]

[groaning]

I want to see...

what he saw...

when he left my body.

I want to see the light.

Do you mean Daniel?

He saw the light?

He made it to Heaven?

- [exhales]
- [Vincent whimpers]

He made it. [chuckles]

I see...

I see dark... darkness...

[gags] Only darkness.

[Lucifer] Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

[Lucifer] You said you were fine.

And I am.

Hmm. Now. The medic just said
you were this close to Heaven.

I don't have another lifesaving ring,
so be more careful next time, please.

Lucifer, it's August 5th.

- There's no question. We did it.
- [exhales]

I don't know how, but we did it.

We did, didn't we? [chuckles]

[exhales]

Would you give me a moment?

And, um, don't go anywhere.

Funny.

[chuckles]

Ow.

Why so glum?

I mean, I am still here, after all.

Yeah, but so am I.

[hesitates] Yes.

We all are.

One big happy,
half-celestial, half-human family.

Crisis averted, right?

But if I'm still here in the past,

that means that my future
still happens exactly how I lived it.

Which... which means you still abandon me.

And I still get so angry that
I travel back in time to confront you.

The fact is that you will leave.

And I still don't know why.

[Chloe] Dan's in Heaven?

[both chuckle]

- He did it. He actually did it.
- [laughs]

- [chuckles]
- But how?

That's what I'm still trying
to figure out.

It was Dan that went to see Trixie,
when he was still in Le Mec's body.

Uh, camp called and said
Trixie was talking to some stranger.

That he said he was friends with her dad.

Well, she must have said
something important to him.

He'd been avoiding her this whole time.
What... what made Dan go and see her?

Oh, I did. [exhales]

Huh? What?

What did you say to him?

I just told him it's not important
what you do with your time.

It's more important who you spend it with.

Then you got him to Heaven.

[Lucifer] Hmm?

[Chloe] Like you did with Lee.

[hesitates] Oh!

Mr. Said Out Bitch.

Yeah.

You broke his hell loop too.

[Lucifer] Well, to be fair,
Lee broke his own hell loop.

I just showed him a path.

Or rather, a door,
to be precise. [chuckles]

Like a wise therapist once said to me,

I can't give you the right answers,
only the right questions.

But still, Lucifer, you helped them.
You helped them both.

[Rory] And me.

I almost killed Le Mec.

I wanted to.

It was... so close.

But when I looked in your eyes,
I knew you understood

my anger and the guilt

more than anyone else could.

That's because
I didn't want you to repeat my sins.

To succumb
to that monster that's inside of you.

Feel the pain... that I felt.

Maybe that's the real reason
I came back in time.

So you could help me.

[Chloe] So that you can help everyone.

Every Dan down in Hell
who deserves another chance.

Well...

Well, I suppose
I do know what it's like to fall.

And also to rise.

Oh, you cheeky bastard.

Who?

My dad.

[sighs]

He said I'd figure it out, and I did.

When he said Hell
no longer needs a keeper,

it doesn't.

It needs a healer.

Chloe...

I think I finally found my calling.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[sighs]

This... this is why you leave.

What? No, I can just pop down to Hell,

save a few souls
and then pop back up here again.

It doesn't have to be a full-time job.

I can still be in your life,
in both your lives.

[scoffing] No, you can't.

And that's why
you can't ever tell me why he left.

I get why you had to keep it from me now.

See? It all leads to this.

Me, thinking you bailed
on August 4th with no explanation.

Me, feeling abandoned and angry.

So angry that I traveled back in time.

Everything that we've been through,

it all leads to what Dad just realized,

that he needs to help those lost souls.

[Lucifer exhales]

We can't change anything,
or he might never get that idea.

- But, Rory...
- [Rory] No buts, because, Dad...

I was one of those lost souls.

But that was my fault.

No.

No, it's my life. My choices.

Don't you see, I...

I'm the one who asked you...
to do what you did.

And honestly...

knowing what I know now, I...

I wouldn't change a thing.

- But...
- [Rory gasps]

You said you wished
you could be there for me

when I needed you most.

Dad...

you were. [chuckles, sobs]

You saved me.

♪ And they're sinking beneath the waves... ♪

What's happening?

- [gasps] I'm going back.
- No!

Rory, no.

[splutters] Yeah, just give me your word!

Give me your word that
you won't change anything!

- That you won't change me!
- I'll miss your childhood, your life!

That's... that's... it's just a blip
in our eternal existence.

- I get that now.
- Please...

I... I was so angry before,
but I... I'm not angry anymore.

No.

- It's...
- [Lucifer] Don't go. Please don't do this.

Sorry, it has to be this way, Dad.

- Don't. [sighs]
- Please, so promise me.

- I can't! Don't make me do this!
- [Rory] Please.

I know you can't lie. Please, promise me.

- [panting] I can't.
- Give me your word!

You have my word.

[exhales] I love you.

I love you both.

I love you.

I love you.

I'll see you soon, Mom.

[whooshing]

[somber instrumental music playing]

[music fades]

[playing slow-tempo tune]

So, um, Lucifer Morningstar...

[Lucifer chuckles]

Is that, like, a stage name or something?

God-given, I'm afraid.

[chuckles]

Old God, of course, not, uh...

- Amena-god.
- [both chuckle]

[Lucifer sighs]

I know this is what I'm meant to do,
and I know that it feels right.

It's my calling.

Lucifer...

- Well, maybe I don't need to leave...
- Lucifer.

Listen.

If you're feeling any doubt at all,

remember that we are
doing this for Rory's sake.

I don't wanna leave you.

[voice breaks]
I don't want you to leave either.

- [sniffles]
- [sighs]

[Chloe sniffles]

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes.

You can't see me.

[whispers] But I'm right here.

[Lucifer sighs]

And it'll be the same down there.

[inhales] No matter where you go.

[gasps] No matter where you are.

[sobbing] I'll be with you.

I'll be with you always. [shudders]

- You know...
- [exhales]

I think you're gonna miss
my incredible musical prowess the most.

[laughs] Really?

[exhales] I think there are a few
other talents I'm gonna miss a lot more.

[chuckles] What? Like my ability
to snore like an Albanian field wench?

[laughs] Yes.

Exactly that.

Ah, two, three, four...

I don't understand.

Every time I go through my hell loop,
I keep making the same mistakes.

Well, that's because
you're avoiding your guilt, Reese.

You need to confront it. You all do.

I... I don't know.
I'm telling you, no matter how hard I try,

it feels like I'm destined
to make the wrong choice.

Ah. The old "fate versus
free will" debate. My favorite.

But you see, fate is just a result
of the choices that you make.

[Reese] Hmm.

Do you really think
it's possible to change?

Of course. I mean, look at me.

For millennia, I was down here,

stuck in my own hell loop of sorts,

thinking I deserved to be
in charge of people's punishment.

And then even when I left, I found myself
in a cycle of selfishness and violence,

debauchery, sex...
Yeah, I mean, clearly it wasn't all bad,

but the point is
that with the right guidance

and the right help,

I was able to change, to grow.

To... find true meaning in life.

I wish I could just...

take it all back.

Everything that I did on Earth.

I hear you.

I felt that way too.

I wished I could do
everything differently, but then,

I wouldn't be the devil I am right now,

sitting across from you,
right here, would I? [chuckles]

I don't know. Maybe I'm just a lost cause.

Nonsense, Reese.

And certainly not on my watch.

Because if the devil can be redeemed,

then anyone can.

And if you can't,
uh, I can just shoot you in the face.

Put you out of your misery, no?

Huh?

No, Vincent. Nobody will be
shooting anyone in the face.

Clearly, you're going to
need a little more time.

- [knock on door]
- Ah! That'll be the donuts.

- And the pastries for you, Vincent.
