Lucifer (2016) s03e19 Episode Script
Orange Is the New Maze
1 - Previously on Lucifer - There's only room for one immortal in the detective's life, and that position's - already been filled.
- By you? The detective and I are a team.
There's just no room for a third.
- You're a good man.
- You deserve someone who's gonna let you in, and I want to do that if you'll give me the chance.
Mom! Lucifer said that you were gone.
Do I know you? You know Lucifer.
You do know me.
And I am sick of your Goody Two-shoes ex-wife and that stupid little brat of yours.
Charlotte Richards is back.
I think that maybe she deserves to know the truth.
She's not so easily won over.
You are totally freaking out right now.
- What? - About this coming between you and Chloe.
[CHUCKLES.]
: Don't be preposterous.
- [YELLS.]
- Bloody hell! Easy, Maze! Gah.
Could have taken my eye out with that spatula.
What on earth are you looking for? And why are we meeting here, anyway? - I heard you moved out.
- I did.
I forgot my knife.
Must have left it here somewhere.
Oh, no, not one of your hell-forged blades that is a loss.
Not a blade.
A knife.
Forged in I don't know, China.
Ah.
Right, priceless.
I can't find it anywhere.
Green tea coconut water.
Worth the trip, at least.
You can't find this stuff in Hell.
What do you mean, Hell? I am so done, Lucifer.
I am done with this apartment, all humans Earth, in general.
I want out.
Now.
I want to go home.
[LAUGHS.]
: You you want me to fly you down to Hell? For good? That's a bit rash, isn't it? No, it's not.
And I've made up my mind, so get your wings out.
- No biggie.
- Wrong.
Big biggie.
Huge biggie.
I don't know if you remember, Maze, but last time I took someone on a celestial Uber ride, the detective almost died.
Seriously? You're saying no because you're afraid of your daddy? No, I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
Look, you-you clearly need to blow off some steam, don't you? Take your mind off Ameninda? - [CHUCKLES.]
: No.
Lindadiel? - [SIGHS.]
Whatever.
That whole fiasco.
How about a nice weekend in Catalina? You went to Hell for Pierce, a guy you don't even like, and you won't do the same for me? No.
I swear to you, Lucifer, you are gonna regret this.
Are you threatening me, Mazikeen? - [DOOR OPENS.]
- CHLOE: Oh, hey.
Hey, guys.
What happened? Don't worry, Detective.
Maze was just leaving.
Weren't you? Oh.
Wait, wait, hold on.
Maze, Maze, um you know, I've been trying to explain to Trixie that there must be some reason why you hurt her feelings.
You know, some misunderstanding.
Or at least, I hope.
No.
I just forgot some of my stuff.
That's it.
Maze.
Look, I never asked you to move out.
Can't you see that you're doing this to yourself? So now this is my fault? Maze, come on.
Demons.
Am I right? Lucifer, name-calling isn't gonna help.
Um, maybe you should go talk to her.
You know? Like now.
Well, I'd rather not, Detective.
It seems like she needs space.
Miles of it.
Well, now's not the best time - [PIERCE GROANS.]
- for you to Hey.
Lucifer.
Hello, Lieutenant.
What, uh what are you doing here? Uh I mean, I suppose I knew you two were becoming friendly I just didn't expect to see you here.
On a weekend.
Wearing open-toe, non-work-related Birkis.
We were at the beach.
Yeah.
To a beach murder.
There was a murder at the beach.
New case.
I-I was gonna tell you.
But I didn't because I know how much you hate sand.
Right.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Body's in the ice chest, is it? I'm sure Ms.
Lopez will have something to say about that.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hmm.
Well, then, um [CLEARS THROAT.]
best of luck with your beach murder.
Do you want to stay, or? [EXHALES.]
Beach murder? I'm sorry.
I-I-I panicked.
'Cause he's a coworker, and, you know, you're a coworker.
Maybe we should talk about some work life boundaries Besides, I didn't know if you wanted everybody to know that we were dating.
I don't care who knows.
You don't? No.
If you want to take it slow, that's okay, but from where I stand, I'm all in.
So, I was getting coffee, minding my own business, and a guy grabs my arm.
Really? What kind of guy? A tall, serious black man.
Bald.
Bald, like, in a in a very sexy way? Yes.
You know him? Uh, no.
No.
Just, um, painting a picture.
I can I can see it all now.
Well, he called me Mom.
Said some really strange things.
Sounds like a real nut bar.
It's a good thing you're not gonna see him again.
That's the thing.
He came back.
- He did? - Then he claimed that he could fill in what happened in my memory gap.
[EXHALES.]
What he said then was truly bizarre.
Yeah, well, he should have left well enough alone.
Whoever he is.
Maybe you should just forget about it, keep moving forward, like you've been doing.
You have to hear how crazy it was.
He said Lucifer was his brother.
Which I guess is possible if one of them were adopted.
And raised with a different accent.
- Yeah, it's - Then he said I was his stepmom.
But he's a grown man.
I mean, his father would have to be ancient.
[LAUGHS.]
: Oh, right.
I I mean, as if I would go running around marrying old men and then forgetting all about it.
Would I? Charlotte, I don't think this man, whoever he is has your best interests at heart.
That's the thing.
He seemed to really care about me.
At least who I was then.
This man wasn't lying.
At least he believed he was telling the truth.
Which means I should dig a little deeper into his story.
Right? Right.
- - [SEABIRDS SQUAWKING.]
She's being really self-destructive.
I mean, she's losing all of her friends.
Maze is definitely spiraling out of control I'm worried about her.
She gets like this sometimes.
Maze just needs to blow off some steam, that's all.
I told her so myself, and I'm quite sure she'll see sense.
Thanks.
Hey, Ella.
What do we have? Mid-30s, male, multiple stab wounds.
No ID, so I'm gonna run his prints through IBIS.
Right.
Detective, do you think - this might be related to your beach murder? - ELLA: Ugh.
I hate beach murders.
So mean.
It's, like, just let people swim.
Mm.
Um, there was no beach murder.
Ah.
So what was Pierce doing at your house, then? We had a date.
Right.
Right.
I thought as much.
Bully for you, Detective.
Uh, did I mention the Vic was male? And, uh, would you look at those earlobes? So big.
Huge.
Huge earlobes.
Which tells me absolutely nothing.
But I can keep going.
And the gunsho Ooh, look! Oh, wait, looky there.
Oh.
Security camera.
Okay.
I'll see if there's, uh, footage of the crime.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, let it out, buddy.
Even though Pierce and Decker are totally hot together, I know change is rough.
Ms.
Lopez, please.
Enough.
- Thank you.
- Lucifer okay, you and Chloe have this undefined something or other, okay, that I never really understood.
It's-it's on a a whole other plane.
Even though Pierce and Decker, I mean, whoo-ee, what gorgeous babies those two would have, or die trying But I'm sorry this is rough for you.
No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm more than fine, actually.
[CHUCKLES.]
: I mean, those two dating was practically my idea, so Can we? Uh, yeah, so CHLOE: Guys.
We got something.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
That isn't You told her to blow off some steam? Well, I was really hoping she'd choose Catalina.
[SIGHS.]
There's no sign of Maze at any of the usual spots.
And she's not answering my calls.
Most definitely the actions of an innocent woman.
Well, let's not jump to conclusions.
It's not like the video shows her actually stabbing our Vic.
No.
Merely plucking her knife out of his chest.
Do you really think she did this? I mean, yes, Maze is rash Or nuclear, more like.
There's got to be another explanation.
There is.
It's about me.
Maze asked me to take her home, and I said no, at which point she flew into a rage and threatened to make me sorry.
So she's clearly acting out.
But if she thinks she can manipulate me into changing my mind, then she's sorely mistaken.
So you didn't give her a ride home one night.
I mean, call me crazy, but that doesn't make someone kill.
[SIGHS.]
Hey.
Hey there, Lieutenant.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
: Um any updates? Mm-hmm.
Our Vic is an ex-con named Mike Biltz.
Hmm.
An active bounty of Mazikeen Smith.
- Hmm.
- Well, Maze bounties a lot of people, you know.
She's a overachiever, that Maze.
She's had a prior run-in with him.
It says she brought him in once before.
So she knows him It doesn't mean anything.
Or one very obvious thing Guilty.
Chloe, is this case too personal for you? Maybe your roommate isn't who you think she is.
- Ex-roommate.
I'm just saying.
- All right, well, I'll need you to stay impartial.
Copy that.
I'll keep it completely professional.
Where as I, on the other hand, will keep things entirely personal.
I will not rest until we track down that manipulative demon.
In fact, I'm gonna go and look for Maze again now.
All right.
Great.
I'm gonna check out a lead on our Vic's last place of employment some winery called Monte De Oro.
I'll go with you.
Okay.
Uh, no need, Lieutenant.
Actually, on second thought, I think I should make 100% certain of Maze's guilt before I find and punish her.
Come on, partner.
Okay.
Hmm.
We'll take my car, shall we? Too many girls Living in my home Got to tell them to leave I want to be alone So romantic, the California coastline, isn't it? - Yeah.
Yeah, it really is.
- Mm.
Speaking of [CLEARS THROAT.]
That beach date that you went on with Pierce, was it a date date? Um, it was just a regular date.
Ah.
Well, you're free to spend your your spare time with whomever you choose.
I mean, I'm not one for gorilla-sized ham hands or stale alcohol breath or, yeah, just the general blokes, but I suppose there's no accounting for taste, is there? No.
No, there's not.
No also, I-I'm surprised that you'd date someone so on in years.
Huh? What are you talking about? Oh, believe me, Pierce is, uh, well, he's much older than he looks.
And we all know that dating older men has its downsides: performance, stamina, you know, the important bits.
Okay, Lucifer Well, I just hate to see you unsatisfied, that's all.
Lucifer, I'm not discussing this with you.
- Okay, okay.
- Okay? Besides, Pierce and I, we're not even sleeping to You know, we're not We're not, and never mind, and it's none of your business.
So, how far are we? Are we there? Uh, we're nearly there.
Okay.
Thank you for talking with us, Mrs.
Channing.
Please, call me Margo.
Tragic news.
We want to help any way we can.
Great.
Um, well, what can you tell us about Mike? Well, Zack would know better.
He's the winery foreman and Mike's supervisor.
- Okay.
- ZACK: He was a good worker.
Quiet.
Never gave us any trouble.
Mm-hmm.
And did you all know he had a criminal record and that he was currently out on bail? No, I wasn't.
It's always the quiet ones, isn't it? The truth is, if we looked too closely at all our workers, there'd be no one left to tend the grapes.
Way I saw it, Mike was a good guy.
He deserved better.
And did you notice anything strange in the last few weeks? Uh, any fights that he got in or money troubles? Anything like that? ZACK: Well, there was something the other day.
Someone came looking for him.
Ah, was it a a hot woman, perhaps? Angry? Leather? Lots of knives? Or someone completely different? - Like a dude? Like a fat, happy dude? - ZACK: No.
What he said.
A pretty woman in black leather came looking for Mike.
Right.
Well, Morningstar, one, Decker, nil.
- Not that I'm counting.
- Anyhow, carry on.
ZACK: Uh, Mike was out at the time, so she hung around his trailer, then took off.
When I told him, he kind of freaked out about it.
Then I forgot all about it.
Uh, could we get a look at that trailer? Oh.
Oh, this is lovely, isn't it? Aha! Her favorite beverage.
Well, surely this is evidence that Maze is guilty.
And well hydrated.
Well, let's just wait and see what the lab has to say.
I'm sure lots of people drink green tea coconut water.
[SCOFFS.]
Right.
I told you not to talk to Charlotte, and you literally did the exact opposite of what I said.
Why bother asking for my advice at all? I couldn't help it, Linda, all right? I'm sorry.
She's not your mother anymore.
She's a human woman in pain who isn't ready to hear what you have to say.
Well, I disagree.
She's in pain because she doesn't know the full story.
Whether or not she's my mother, Linda, I owe her the truth.
At least some of the truth.
I didn't go into the celestial details.
And she can tell you're holding back.
And now she has more questions.
I really thought we decided we weren't gonna do this.
You mean you decided.
You decided, Linda.
Just like how you decided that we were over.
Point taken.
But Amenadiel, please, ask yourself are you doing this because you think it's what's best for Charlotte, or what's best for you? Oh, my God.
You guys are so adorable.
I can't even stand it.
Looks like you caught us, Lopez.
Uh, hey.
Did you get anything back on the coconut water? Uh, no, but they are rushing the order.
Chloe.
- Hey.
- Pierce.
I, uh, looked into other known associates of the victim.
Surviving family members, etcetera.
- So far, no leads.
- Okay.
Oh.
Here, have a seat.
- Ah, lovely.
Thank you very much.
- Yeah.
It's not like there's 20 other chairs.
LUCIFER: Ooh! All warmed up for me.
So, any news on our murderous friend? Listen, guys, if Maze did this, would any of you really be shocked? - Yeah.
- I would.
- No, not at all.
- There's no way.
MAZE: Let me settle it for you.
I did it.
What are you all waiting for? I just said I did it.
Maze, hold on.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you Don't have time for all of that.
I'm the big, bad killer, so let's move it along.
Agreed.
Let's book her.
Lucifer, it's called due process.
She doesn't have to do this.
The evidence against her is circumstantial.
Well, let me help you with that.
Murder weapon should do it.
Put it down.
Now.
All yours.
Come on, boys.
You know you want to.
- Stand up.
- Oh.
- Stand up.
- [GRUNTS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
I know this looks bad.
We have a video, a murder weapon, and a full confession.
I know.
It just It doesn't feel like her.
I thought you said you weren't gonna let your feelings get in the way of this case.
- And I'm not.
- Just like you're not letting your feelings for Lucifer get between you and me? W-What? Is there something going on between you and Lucifer? No.
No.
Lucifer and I, we-we're partners.
We're friends.
Do all your friends give you jewelry? This? Lucifer gave me this as a joke.
It's a funny story, actually.
[LAUGHS.]
: He says it was the closest I ever came to penetrating him.
Which, see, we've never actually had sex.
- Oh.
- Never mind.
It just It was funny at the time.
Well, we're gonna book Maze.
If you really believe she's innocent, you're gonna have to bring in the real killer.
I'll start by talking to her.
[SCOFFS.]
More talking? LUCIFER: Less of a conversation, really, more of a "j'accuse.
" CHLOE: We just want to have a chat As friends, - because that's what we are.
- Are we? Let's talk motive, because I cannot think of a single reason why you would want to kill that man.
Who needs a reason? I'm just evil.
I mean, that's what you all think, right? - No.
- Right.
Look, I've told you already, Detective, she is doing this to manipulate me.
Well, newsflash, Mazikeen.
I am not taking you home.
Yeah, I heard you the first time, and I don't care.
This way, I'll end up in women's prison.
I heard it's hell on earth, so close enough.
Right.
Well, maybe orange is the new Maze.
Perhaps some time in the clink might actually make you sorry for trying to control me.
What are you talking about? She could get life in prison.
That's a mere time-out in her lifespan.
[SCOFFS.]
All right, let's talk about the actual crime.
Maze, tell me what happened.
I stabbed a guy.
See? How many times? Two or three.
Or four? You're not even close.
The victim was stabbed ten times.
Right, well, I was mad, so guess I forgot to count.
Did you happen to follow the victim to a winery? - Sure.
- Drink anything while you were there? Wine.
[SIGHS.]
- Now do you believe me? - I believe you.
- Yes.
I knew she didn't do it.
- Yes.
[SIGHS.]
You know what this means, Detective.
We need to bust Maze out.
Let's smuggle her something she can use to escape.
What happened to "a mere time-out" in women's prison? Well, we can't punish the innocent, or even the usually guilty but innocent this one time.
It's the principle of the matter.
We have to find the real killer.
It's the only way to keep Maze out of jail.
CHARLOTTE: I hear someone's headed for jail? I'm ready to draw up the arrest warrant for Mazikeen Smith.
Hey, hang on.
I'll grab my paperwork.
I'd love to chat with you, Lucifer.
Well, I'm terribly busy, Charlotte.
I'm sorry.
It's important.
Maybe somewhere a little more private? Look, I-I really am in a bit of a rush, Charlotte.
Of course.
I just wanted to mention I met your brother, Amenadiel.
Oh, dearie me.
I bet that was a snooze.
So you confirm that he's your brother? Well, yes, of course.
Well, he had some interesting things to say, things that you never mentioned.
For starters, would've been nice to know that you were my stepson before I kissed you that night.
[LAUGHS.]
"Stepson"? - Right.
- Yeah.
That would've been far preferable, Mum Mum - my dear Charlotte.
- You said "Mum.
" Did I? So I was I was your stepmom? Well, not anymore.
Look, it it's complicated, Charlotte, and I am horribly crunched for time, so Tell me what you know, and don't lie to me.
[SIGHS.]
Please, Lucifer.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
Fine.
Fine, I suppose you do deserve to know the truth.
Okay, then.
No sense dillydallying.
I really am the Devil.
My brother Amenadiel is a former angel.
That time you thought you survived being stabbed by your junior associate, you didn't.
You died, and your soul went straight to Hell.
Your empty body became a-a vessel for my real mum, the goddess of all creation, until her celestial light started bursting out of your midsection.
Naturally, I sent her to another universe so she wouldn't destroy this one.
Once she vacated your body, you, Charlotte, came back to life.
All right? There we are.
All caught up.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
You wanted the truth? Well, there it is.
Now, I really, really must be going, because I have an innocent demon in the clink, but if you have any follow-up questions, please, do feel free to ask Amenadiel.
Maze.
How you holding up? Never better.
What do you want? I'm here to support you.
Okay, I-I will never, ever forget how you helped my brother, so if there's anything you need, anything at all, I'm your girl.
Even if I'm guilty? Well, I don't think that you are.
Even though there isn't one shred of evidence that exonerates you.
Like, nothing.
I mean, honestly, I've never even seen someone look more guilty.
But I have faith in you anyway.
Well, there is one thing that you could do for me.
Yeah.
Name it.
I could use a hug.
Like you even need to ask.
Bring it in! Mm.
Oh! I was just on my way to find you guys.
Got the lab results back from the green tea coconut water.
No match on the DNA, unfortunately.
It was - Demonic? - Inconclusive.
But I did find a set of prints.
They were yours.
LUCIFER: Well, if your prints are on that can, that means someone must've broke into your house and stolen it from your wheelie bins.
What? Your trash.
I assume you're the one who throws 'em out for her.
And whoever stole the can could've also stolen Maze's knife.
Which means - someone's framing Maze.
- Someone's framing Maze.
You guys, I'm really worried about her.
She's hurting.
When I hugged her just now, she hugged me back.
She she hugged you? [LOCK BUZZES, LATCH CLICKS.]
["HUNT ME DOWN" BY THE BLACK ANGELS PLAYING.]
I walked up on you Excuse me.
You supposed to be here, ma'am? I can be entranced I'm right behind Ms.
Lopez! I've heard so much about you.
Only been here a couple weeks, and everyone says you're just an absolute ray of sunshine.
Yeah, that's me.
Rainbows, science, God.
Oh, uh, uh, just need your old, uh, John Hancock and your security PIN, uh, to sign out that file, you know? Protocol.
[CHUCKLES.]
How 'bout a hug instead? - A Lopez hug? - Mm-hmm.
Oh, I've heard about those, too.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Must-must be my lucky day.
Uh - [SUCKS AIR THROUGH TEETH, GRUNTS.]
- Oh! Oh, okay.
Um, getting kind of dizzy here.
Um, okay.
[GRUNTS.]
[THUDS.]
Pleasure to really meet you.
That other Ella was mean.
[SCOFFS.]
I can't believe Maze used me.
She ruined hugging.
Uh, I'll-I'll take that.
Thank you.
Lovely.
Go easy on Maze, Ms.
Lopez.
What, like you did? Uh, look, yes, I admit I was a bit miffed.
But that's because I thought Maze was manipulating me.
Now it's clear she didn't kill that fellow, it's obvious someone is manipulating her.
Which is a terrible feeling, by the way.
We need to help her.
Excuse me, do you know what she was looking for in here? Maze wanted us to lock her up.
- Chloe - She's innocent.
The lab results from the coconut water prove that she's being framed.
Then why did she turn herself in? Because she needed something from this file.
The booking sheet from the Vic's recent arrest.
Why is the corner missing? Because that's where the bail bondsman's name and address was.
A guy named Barry Hill.
He's the one who posted the Vic's bail.
- What does she want with him? - Okay, in order to frame Maze, someone had to convince her to go to the crime scene, you know, make her think that she was tracking a normal bounty.
That's where she found Mike Biltz dead, - with a knife in his chest.
- Yeah.
And pulled it out.
That's a pretty good frame job.
And since Barry the bondsman hired Maze to find Mike, he's probably the one who set her up or he probably knows who.
Wow.
Not bad, Decker.
- Thanks.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Are we okay? Yeah.
Yeah, we're okay.
Uh, look, we'll talk about it later.
But I have to go.
Oh.
Sorry.
Hate to interrupt the canoodling.
Which I am so okay with.
It doesn't fill me with mistrust at all.
But duty calls, Detective.
Can't have Maze taking justice into her own hands now, can we? - Mm-mm.
- No.
Okay.
[EXHALES.]
[DOOR SHUTS.]
[HORN HONKS.]
["LOCKED AND LOADED" BY THE BREVET PLAYING.]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - Oh-oh-oh-oh - [BREATHING DEEPLY.]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Strong and steady, suited up like a renegade - Everybody's talking - MAN: Hey! What's your problem?! Hey! Which one of you mid-life crises is Barry Hill? Get out of the lane, lady! You're blocking the way of the two-time league champs here.
[CHUCKLES.]
You must be Barry.
You're coming with me.
Need to ask you a few questions.
[CHUCKLES.]
: Oh, well, you know, I'll give you everything you need.
After I roll.
So do me a favor, honey.
Just stay there and look pretty, all right? Once said [EXHALES.]
- Just for tonight - [GRUNTS.]
What gives? [PINS CLACKING.]
7-10 split.
Gonna be hard to pick that up with your face caved in.
[GRUNTING.]
Now, just stay there and look pretty.
BARRY: Okay! Okay, okay! I'll tell you everything you need to know! Ju-Just let me up! Just let me up! - [GASPING.]
Lucifer told me everything.
As in everything? As in the whole freakin' enchilada.
[CHUCKLES.]
As in I was possessed by the goddess of all creation.
[CHUCKLES.]
But it's all good.
Because she's in another universe.
And you believed him? No.
Yes.
[SIGHS.]
I don't want to.
I was hoping that you could help clear things up with one simple question.
What's my husband's name? Um God.
Frey.
Godfrey.
- You're lying.
- Charlotte, I don't know what you want me to say here.
Um, the truth.
But a truth that makes sense.
Because right now, the only thing that feels real to me is that I was in Hell.
And that's insane! [CHUCKLES.]
: I mean, you can't actually be an angel and Lucifer can't actually be the Devil.
Because if I believed that, then then it would mean that I'm insane.
[GRUNTS.]
[BARRY GROANING.]
Easy, lady! Okay, what's this all about? Don't play dumb.
You called me to bounty Mike Biltz.
And funny thing when I found him: he was dead.
Stabbed with one of my knives.
Security camera was a nice touch though.
Made me smile.
So why'd you set me up? Okay, yeah.
Okay, someone-someone paid me to call you, but I don't know nothin' about any kni Who paid you?! Some corporate guy called me.
I-I don't know who he was.
He said he worked for some place called, um, Sebastian Corp.
Sebastian Corp? What's that? [GUNSHOT.]
- Well, I didn't see that coming.
- [THUD.]
Long-range round, large caliber.
Barry here died from a sniper hit.
Ah, it's definitely not Maze's style.
She prefers her violence up close and personal, believe me.
Guesstimating the bullet's trajectory, I'd say the killer shot from across the street.
Well, an entire bowling team saw "that crazy hottie" leave this office right after the shooting.
Which means she wasn't across the street when the shots - were fired she was here.
- Yeah.
She couldn't have taken those shots.
But I'm still mad about the hug.
Well, if Maze didn't kill the Big Lebowski here, who did? [SIGHS.]
Maybe somebody who framed her was tying up loose ends.
But who has beef with Maze? - My money's on someone she bounty-hunted.
- Yeah.
Someone she caught and brought to justice.
Surely those miscreants have the biggest grudge.
Well, time to interview Maze's ex-bounties.
Oh.
Fun and games.
Oh, here we go Oh, oh, oh, yeah, here we go - [GRUNTS.]
- Hello.
Tell us how you know Mazikeen Smith.
She hunted me down like a dog.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
She came from nowhere.
- [SOBBING.]
- S-So, what did she do to you? She ate my goldfish.
[RAPID CHOPPING SOUNDS.]
Then a rain of many sharp knives.
And did she do that? No, she did this.
- [CREAKING.]
- [SQUEAKS.]
Oh, dear.
Would you like some Advil? [SOBBING.]
- [SNORTING, LAUGHING.]
- What? - She - Sorry, Detective.
Fish caught my tongue.
- [LAUGHS.]
- [CHUCKLES.]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
He tried to tell her he already paid his parking tickets.
You must have been upset that Maze caught you.
Mm.
Perhaps you hated her.
Hated her enough to frame her.
No.
Maze is all right.
After she got me, she bought me a beer.
[STRAINED GRUNTING.]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[GRUNTS.]
TRANSLATOR: She taught me how to make a shiv out of a toothbrush.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
And you better believe it came in handy.
The nice thing about Maze [SNIFFLES.]
she doesn't judge.
[SOBBING.]
: She's a nice lady.
[CRYING.]
- [LAUGHING.]
- [LAUGHING.]
Lucifer's always gonna be in the way, isn't he? All I know is that they have a real connection.
They're a package deal now.
It's like [SIGHS.]
Say you fall in love with a woman who has a cat.
What are you gonna do? You accept the cat.
Because she's worth it.
Lucifer's the cat.
I'd just get rid of the cat.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Come on.
- We have one more.
- [SIGHS.]
Bloody hell.
Let's cut to the chase, shall we? - Mm-hmm.
- Hello.
Do you hold a mortal grudge against bounty hunter Mazikeen Smith? Nah.
I should, but no.
Maze changed my life.
She scared me straight.
Oh.
Really? What, bank job? Mob hit? No.
Winery gig.
Way overpaid.
Definitely fishy.
Maze taught me if it's too good to be true, stay away.
Uh, what winery? Monte De Oro Winery.
Gorgeous drive.
Very romantic.
Lucifer, Margo and Zack are behind this.
We got to get to that winery.
You really think that they framed Maze - and killed those two people? - Yes.
And I bet Maze knows why.
- Thank you.
- Right.
Looks like we'll have to stop her from actually killing someone this time.
Thank you.
[GASPS.]
Found you.
Lady, you framed the wrong demon.
- [GRUNTS.]
- [GLASS BREAKING.]
[WHIMPERS.]
"Sebastian Corp"? Really? [LAUGHS.]
It took me a second after Barry mentioned it, but then I remembered.
Four months ago, I tracked down a bounty named Sebastian.
Yeah, real dirt bag.
Drove drunk, killed a girl, and then fled the charges when his rich mommy and fancy lawyers couldn't save him.
Turns out that rich mommy was you.
So why'd ya do it, lady? Sebastian put you up to this? Prison not agreeing with Momma's little boy? Sebastian is dead! Killed in a prison fight, the prison you put him in.
I had you framed because I wanted you to suffer like he did.
My boy is dead because of you.
You blame me? [GRUNTS.]
Sure, why not? Sebastian's a saint.
You're the perfect mom.
And I'm just the big, bad, evil demon.
And what would someone truly evil do to the one who framed her? [GUNSHOTS.]
[GUNSHOT.]
Best help money can buy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, I've always wanted to do that.
- Done that before.
- [GUN CLATTERS TO FLOOR.]
Maze, no! - [YELLS.]
- Maze, stop! [SCREAMS, GASPS.]
Drop the knife.
This isn't you.
Isn't it, though? I destroy things, Chloe.
It's what I do.
Friendships, relationships, apartment walls.
And, apparently, I killed this lady's son.
Maze, I know you didn't kill Mike Biltz, and you didn't kill Barry.
And her son isn't your fault, either.
We're all responsible for our own choices.
And right now, you have to make one.
Maze, you don't destroy everything.
Trixie loves you.
You're the best babysitter she has ever had.
Other than the time you let that rock band spend the night, and when you sent her to school with the pot brownies.
But the point is, no one's perfect.
But what matters most is that you're such a good friend to Trixie, to me.
And I don't know what you're going through, Maze.
I wish you would talk to me, but, please, please put down the knife.
Let me help you.
Help? You're the reason he won't take me home.
What? You want a knife, Chloe? - Maze! - [SCREAMS.]
Brother, are you sure? I mean, the old you would never have been okay with this.
I don't think we have much of a choice.
LUCIFER: Charlotte.
Do you have a minute? Sure.
Just getting ready to check myself into the loony bin.
Charlotte, listen.
I owe you an apology.
I shouldn't have told you what I did.
Yes.
And, well, I suppose that I didn't help things either.
So we are here to make things right.
Now, we can't undo what we've already done, but maybe we can help you move forward.
Last chance to change your mind, brother.
Going once, going twice Fair enough.
You, um, you may want to sit down.
Nah.
At this point, things can't get any crazier.
[CHUCKLES.]
You'd think.
[INHALES.]
Okay.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[SIGHS.]
AMENADIEL: Oh, no, Luci.
We've broken her.
Charlotte.
Are you okay? [EXHALES.]
It's it's real.
[CHARLOTTE CRYING.]
Then that means I'm I'm not crazy.
[LAUGHS.]
Hey.
Hey.
I've, uh, I've been thinking a lot about what you said.
About Lucifer, and, um You know, I need you to know that he he and I, we're we're good partners, and we're good friends.
And I you know, I don't want to lose that.
It wasn't a fair ask.
No.
It's-it's it's also unfair of me to ask you to deal with this, you know? You want to take me home? I'll take you anywhere.
It's okay.
You don't have to ride with me.
I know.
I want to.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[PENSIVE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS.]
[MAZE SIGHS.]
I'm here.
What do you want? To apologize.
Look, I thought you were manipulating me, but, well, I'm a big enough devil to admit when I'm wrong.
Anyway, killer caught.
Demon exonerated.
All good now? No.
Everything that happened showed me exactly why I need to go back.
I don't understand.
[SIGHS.]
It's all so complicated here, Lucifer.
I mean, caring about humans always goes wrong.
Feelings suck.
I am not the one who's supposed to be tortured.
You're the one who does the torturing.
Yes.
So please, just take me home.
I can't.
And not just 'cause of possible repercussions with Dad.
I [SIGHS.]
I can't lose you, Maze.
Not you, too.
Oh.
What do you mean, "not me, too"? [SCOFFS.]
The detective.
- Right.
- I just saw her ride off with Pierce.
She looked so happy.
That's what I want, I suppose, isn't it, her happiness? I just wish I knew that Pierce's intentions were pure.
Anyway, point is, you're right.
Feelings and humans suck.
So at least we have each other.
I'm always gonna be the consolation prize for you.
You only care about me when you don't have Chloe.
- Maze, now hold on.
That's.
.
- No.
[CRYING.]
: No one puts me first.
Least of all you.
None of you deserve me.
Safe Among liars Blame The deniers If history is dead and gone PIERCE: Leaving town? My God What are you doing here? You're angry the people you trust let you down.
Hmm.
Which is why we should work together for a change.
Why would I do that? I don't even like you.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't like you either.
But at least I won't pretend to be your friend, like everyone else does.
Like I said, why would I do anything for you? Because I can help us both get what we want.
Ah, ah, ah-ah, so you want to start a war.
- By you? The detective and I are a team.
There's just no room for a third.
- You're a good man.
- You deserve someone who's gonna let you in, and I want to do that if you'll give me the chance.
Mom! Lucifer said that you were gone.
Do I know you? You know Lucifer.
You do know me.
And I am sick of your Goody Two-shoes ex-wife and that stupid little brat of yours.
Charlotte Richards is back.
I think that maybe she deserves to know the truth.
She's not so easily won over.
You are totally freaking out right now.
- What? - About this coming between you and Chloe.
[CHUCKLES.]
: Don't be preposterous.
- [YELLS.]
- Bloody hell! Easy, Maze! Gah.
Could have taken my eye out with that spatula.
What on earth are you looking for? And why are we meeting here, anyway? - I heard you moved out.
- I did.
I forgot my knife.
Must have left it here somewhere.
Oh, no, not one of your hell-forged blades that is a loss.
Not a blade.
A knife.
Forged in I don't know, China.
Ah.
Right, priceless.
I can't find it anywhere.
Green tea coconut water.
Worth the trip, at least.
You can't find this stuff in Hell.
What do you mean, Hell? I am so done, Lucifer.
I am done with this apartment, all humans Earth, in general.
I want out.
Now.
I want to go home.
[LAUGHS.]
: You you want me to fly you down to Hell? For good? That's a bit rash, isn't it? No, it's not.
And I've made up my mind, so get your wings out.
- No biggie.
- Wrong.
Big biggie.
Huge biggie.
I don't know if you remember, Maze, but last time I took someone on a celestial Uber ride, the detective almost died.
Seriously? You're saying no because you're afraid of your daddy? No, I just don't want anyone to get hurt.
Look, you-you clearly need to blow off some steam, don't you? Take your mind off Ameninda? - [CHUCKLES.]
: No.
Lindadiel? - [SIGHS.]
Whatever.
That whole fiasco.
How about a nice weekend in Catalina? You went to Hell for Pierce, a guy you don't even like, and you won't do the same for me? No.
I swear to you, Lucifer, you are gonna regret this.
Are you threatening me, Mazikeen? - [DOOR OPENS.]
- CHLOE: Oh, hey.
Hey, guys.
What happened? Don't worry, Detective.
Maze was just leaving.
Weren't you? Oh.
Wait, wait, hold on.
Maze, Maze, um you know, I've been trying to explain to Trixie that there must be some reason why you hurt her feelings.
You know, some misunderstanding.
Or at least, I hope.
No.
I just forgot some of my stuff.
That's it.
Maze.
Look, I never asked you to move out.
Can't you see that you're doing this to yourself? So now this is my fault? Maze, come on.
Demons.
Am I right? Lucifer, name-calling isn't gonna help.
Um, maybe you should go talk to her.
You know? Like now.
Well, I'd rather not, Detective.
It seems like she needs space.
Miles of it.
Well, now's not the best time - [PIERCE GROANS.]
- for you to Hey.
Lucifer.
Hello, Lieutenant.
What, uh what are you doing here? Uh I mean, I suppose I knew you two were becoming friendly I just didn't expect to see you here.
On a weekend.
Wearing open-toe, non-work-related Birkis.
We were at the beach.
Yeah.
To a beach murder.
There was a murder at the beach.
New case.
I-I was gonna tell you.
But I didn't because I know how much you hate sand.
Right.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
Body's in the ice chest, is it? I'm sure Ms.
Lopez will have something to say about that.
[CHUCKLES.]
Hmm.
Well, then, um [CLEARS THROAT.]
best of luck with your beach murder.
Do you want to stay, or? [EXHALES.]
Beach murder? I'm sorry.
I-I-I panicked.
'Cause he's a coworker, and, you know, you're a coworker.
Maybe we should talk about some work life boundaries Besides, I didn't know if you wanted everybody to know that we were dating.
I don't care who knows.
You don't? No.
If you want to take it slow, that's okay, but from where I stand, I'm all in.
So, I was getting coffee, minding my own business, and a guy grabs my arm.
Really? What kind of guy? A tall, serious black man.
Bald.
Bald, like, in a in a very sexy way? Yes.
You know him? Uh, no.
No.
Just, um, painting a picture.
I can I can see it all now.
Well, he called me Mom.
Said some really strange things.
Sounds like a real nut bar.
It's a good thing you're not gonna see him again.
That's the thing.
He came back.
- He did? - Then he claimed that he could fill in what happened in my memory gap.
[EXHALES.]
What he said then was truly bizarre.
Yeah, well, he should have left well enough alone.
Whoever he is.
Maybe you should just forget about it, keep moving forward, like you've been doing.
You have to hear how crazy it was.
He said Lucifer was his brother.
Which I guess is possible if one of them were adopted.
And raised with a different accent.
- Yeah, it's - Then he said I was his stepmom.
But he's a grown man.
I mean, his father would have to be ancient.
[LAUGHS.]
: Oh, right.
I I mean, as if I would go running around marrying old men and then forgetting all about it.
Would I? Charlotte, I don't think this man, whoever he is has your best interests at heart.
That's the thing.
He seemed to really care about me.
At least who I was then.
This man wasn't lying.
At least he believed he was telling the truth.
Which means I should dig a little deeper into his story.
Right? Right.
- - [SEABIRDS SQUAWKING.]
She's being really self-destructive.
I mean, she's losing all of her friends.
Maze is definitely spiraling out of control I'm worried about her.
She gets like this sometimes.
Maze just needs to blow off some steam, that's all.
I told her so myself, and I'm quite sure she'll see sense.
Thanks.
Hey, Ella.
What do we have? Mid-30s, male, multiple stab wounds.
No ID, so I'm gonna run his prints through IBIS.
Right.
Detective, do you think - this might be related to your beach murder? - ELLA: Ugh.
I hate beach murders.
So mean.
It's, like, just let people swim.
Mm.
Um, there was no beach murder.
Ah.
So what was Pierce doing at your house, then? We had a date.
Right.
Right.
I thought as much.
Bully for you, Detective.
Uh, did I mention the Vic was male? And, uh, would you look at those earlobes? So big.
Huge.
Huge earlobes.
Which tells me absolutely nothing.
But I can keep going.
And the gunsho Ooh, look! Oh, wait, looky there.
Oh.
Security camera.
Okay.
I'll see if there's, uh, footage of the crime.
[SIGHS.]
Oh, let it out, buddy.
Even though Pierce and Decker are totally hot together, I know change is rough.
Ms.
Lopez, please.
Enough.
- Thank you.
- Lucifer okay, you and Chloe have this undefined something or other, okay, that I never really understood.
It's-it's on a a whole other plane.
Even though Pierce and Decker, I mean, whoo-ee, what gorgeous babies those two would have, or die trying But I'm sorry this is rough for you.
No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.
I'm more than fine, actually.
[CHUCKLES.]
: I mean, those two dating was practically my idea, so Can we? Uh, yeah, so CHLOE: Guys.
We got something.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
That isn't You told her to blow off some steam? Well, I was really hoping she'd choose Catalina.
[SIGHS.]
There's no sign of Maze at any of the usual spots.
And she's not answering my calls.
Most definitely the actions of an innocent woman.
Well, let's not jump to conclusions.
It's not like the video shows her actually stabbing our Vic.
No.
Merely plucking her knife out of his chest.
Do you really think she did this? I mean, yes, Maze is rash Or nuclear, more like.
There's got to be another explanation.
There is.
It's about me.
Maze asked me to take her home, and I said no, at which point she flew into a rage and threatened to make me sorry.
So she's clearly acting out.
But if she thinks she can manipulate me into changing my mind, then she's sorely mistaken.
So you didn't give her a ride home one night.
I mean, call me crazy, but that doesn't make someone kill.
[SIGHS.]
Hey.
Hey there, Lieutenant.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
: Um any updates? Mm-hmm.
Our Vic is an ex-con named Mike Biltz.
Hmm.
An active bounty of Mazikeen Smith.
- Hmm.
- Well, Maze bounties a lot of people, you know.
She's a overachiever, that Maze.
She's had a prior run-in with him.
It says she brought him in once before.
So she knows him It doesn't mean anything.
Or one very obvious thing Guilty.
Chloe, is this case too personal for you? Maybe your roommate isn't who you think she is.
- Ex-roommate.
I'm just saying.
- All right, well, I'll need you to stay impartial.
Copy that.
I'll keep it completely professional.
Where as I, on the other hand, will keep things entirely personal.
I will not rest until we track down that manipulative demon.
In fact, I'm gonna go and look for Maze again now.
All right.
Great.
I'm gonna check out a lead on our Vic's last place of employment some winery called Monte De Oro.
I'll go with you.
Okay.
Uh, no need, Lieutenant.
Actually, on second thought, I think I should make 100% certain of Maze's guilt before I find and punish her.
Come on, partner.
Okay.
Hmm.
We'll take my car, shall we? Too many girls Living in my home Got to tell them to leave I want to be alone So romantic, the California coastline, isn't it? - Yeah.
Yeah, it really is.
- Mm.
Speaking of [CLEARS THROAT.]
That beach date that you went on with Pierce, was it a date date? Um, it was just a regular date.
Ah.
Well, you're free to spend your your spare time with whomever you choose.
I mean, I'm not one for gorilla-sized ham hands or stale alcohol breath or, yeah, just the general blokes, but I suppose there's no accounting for taste, is there? No.
No, there's not.
No also, I-I'm surprised that you'd date someone so on in years.
Huh? What are you talking about? Oh, believe me, Pierce is, uh, well, he's much older than he looks.
And we all know that dating older men has its downsides: performance, stamina, you know, the important bits.
Okay, Lucifer Well, I just hate to see you unsatisfied, that's all.
Lucifer, I'm not discussing this with you.
- Okay, okay.
- Okay? Besides, Pierce and I, we're not even sleeping to You know, we're not We're not, and never mind, and it's none of your business.
So, how far are we? Are we there? Uh, we're nearly there.
Okay.
Thank you for talking with us, Mrs.
Channing.
Please, call me Margo.
Tragic news.
We want to help any way we can.
Great.
Um, well, what can you tell us about Mike? Well, Zack would know better.
He's the winery foreman and Mike's supervisor.
- Okay.
- ZACK: He was a good worker.
Quiet.
Never gave us any trouble.
Mm-hmm.
And did you all know he had a criminal record and that he was currently out on bail? No, I wasn't.
It's always the quiet ones, isn't it? The truth is, if we looked too closely at all our workers, there'd be no one left to tend the grapes.
Way I saw it, Mike was a good guy.
He deserved better.
And did you notice anything strange in the last few weeks? Uh, any fights that he got in or money troubles? Anything like that? ZACK: Well, there was something the other day.
Someone came looking for him.
Ah, was it a a hot woman, perhaps? Angry? Leather? Lots of knives? Or someone completely different? - Like a dude? Like a fat, happy dude? - ZACK: No.
What he said.
A pretty woman in black leather came looking for Mike.
Right.
Well, Morningstar, one, Decker, nil.
- Not that I'm counting.
- Anyhow, carry on.
ZACK: Uh, Mike was out at the time, so she hung around his trailer, then took off.
When I told him, he kind of freaked out about it.
Then I forgot all about it.
Uh, could we get a look at that trailer? Oh.
Oh, this is lovely, isn't it? Aha! Her favorite beverage.
Well, surely this is evidence that Maze is guilty.
And well hydrated.
Well, let's just wait and see what the lab has to say.
I'm sure lots of people drink green tea coconut water.
[SCOFFS.]
Right.
I told you not to talk to Charlotte, and you literally did the exact opposite of what I said.
Why bother asking for my advice at all? I couldn't help it, Linda, all right? I'm sorry.
She's not your mother anymore.
She's a human woman in pain who isn't ready to hear what you have to say.
Well, I disagree.
She's in pain because she doesn't know the full story.
Whether or not she's my mother, Linda, I owe her the truth.
At least some of the truth.
I didn't go into the celestial details.
And she can tell you're holding back.
And now she has more questions.
I really thought we decided we weren't gonna do this.
You mean you decided.
You decided, Linda.
Just like how you decided that we were over.
Point taken.
But Amenadiel, please, ask yourself are you doing this because you think it's what's best for Charlotte, or what's best for you? Oh, my God.
You guys are so adorable.
I can't even stand it.
Looks like you caught us, Lopez.
Uh, hey.
Did you get anything back on the coconut water? Uh, no, but they are rushing the order.
Chloe.
- Hey.
- Pierce.
I, uh, looked into other known associates of the victim.
Surviving family members, etcetera.
- So far, no leads.
- Okay.
Oh.
Here, have a seat.
- Ah, lovely.
Thank you very much.
- Yeah.
It's not like there's 20 other chairs.
LUCIFER: Ooh! All warmed up for me.
So, any news on our murderous friend? Listen, guys, if Maze did this, would any of you really be shocked? - Yeah.
- I would.
- No, not at all.
- There's no way.
MAZE: Let me settle it for you.
I did it.
What are you all waiting for? I just said I did it.
Maze, hold on.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you Don't have time for all of that.
I'm the big, bad killer, so let's move it along.
Agreed.
Let's book her.
Lucifer, it's called due process.
She doesn't have to do this.
The evidence against her is circumstantial.
Well, let me help you with that.
Murder weapon should do it.
Put it down.
Now.
All yours.
Come on, boys.
You know you want to.
- Stand up.
- Oh.
- Stand up.
- [GRUNTS.]
[CHUCKLES.]
I know this looks bad.
We have a video, a murder weapon, and a full confession.
I know.
It just It doesn't feel like her.
I thought you said you weren't gonna let your feelings get in the way of this case.
- And I'm not.
- Just like you're not letting your feelings for Lucifer get between you and me? W-What? Is there something going on between you and Lucifer? No.
No.
Lucifer and I, we-we're partners.
We're friends.
Do all your friends give you jewelry? This? Lucifer gave me this as a joke.
It's a funny story, actually.
[LAUGHS.]
: He says it was the closest I ever came to penetrating him.
Which, see, we've never actually had sex.
- Oh.
- Never mind.
It just It was funny at the time.
Well, we're gonna book Maze.
If you really believe she's innocent, you're gonna have to bring in the real killer.
I'll start by talking to her.
[SCOFFS.]
More talking? LUCIFER: Less of a conversation, really, more of a "j'accuse.
" CHLOE: We just want to have a chat As friends, - because that's what we are.
- Are we? Let's talk motive, because I cannot think of a single reason why you would want to kill that man.
Who needs a reason? I'm just evil.
I mean, that's what you all think, right? - No.
- Right.
Look, I've told you already, Detective, she is doing this to manipulate me.
Well, newsflash, Mazikeen.
I am not taking you home.
Yeah, I heard you the first time, and I don't care.
This way, I'll end up in women's prison.
I heard it's hell on earth, so close enough.
Right.
Well, maybe orange is the new Maze.
Perhaps some time in the clink might actually make you sorry for trying to control me.
What are you talking about? She could get life in prison.
That's a mere time-out in her lifespan.
[SCOFFS.]
All right, let's talk about the actual crime.
Maze, tell me what happened.
I stabbed a guy.
See? How many times? Two or three.
Or four? You're not even close.
The victim was stabbed ten times.
Right, well, I was mad, so guess I forgot to count.
Did you happen to follow the victim to a winery? - Sure.
- Drink anything while you were there? Wine.
[SIGHS.]
- Now do you believe me? - I believe you.
- Yes.
I knew she didn't do it.
- Yes.
[SIGHS.]
You know what this means, Detective.
We need to bust Maze out.
Let's smuggle her something she can use to escape.
What happened to "a mere time-out" in women's prison? Well, we can't punish the innocent, or even the usually guilty but innocent this one time.
It's the principle of the matter.
We have to find the real killer.
It's the only way to keep Maze out of jail.
CHARLOTTE: I hear someone's headed for jail? I'm ready to draw up the arrest warrant for Mazikeen Smith.
Hey, hang on.
I'll grab my paperwork.
I'd love to chat with you, Lucifer.
Well, I'm terribly busy, Charlotte.
I'm sorry.
It's important.
Maybe somewhere a little more private? Look, I-I really am in a bit of a rush, Charlotte.
Of course.
I just wanted to mention I met your brother, Amenadiel.
Oh, dearie me.
I bet that was a snooze.
So you confirm that he's your brother? Well, yes, of course.
Well, he had some interesting things to say, things that you never mentioned.
For starters, would've been nice to know that you were my stepson before I kissed you that night.
[LAUGHS.]
"Stepson"? - Right.
- Yeah.
That would've been far preferable, Mum Mum - my dear Charlotte.
- You said "Mum.
" Did I? So I was I was your stepmom? Well, not anymore.
Look, it it's complicated, Charlotte, and I am horribly crunched for time, so Tell me what you know, and don't lie to me.
[SIGHS.]
Please, Lucifer.
I feel like I'm going crazy.
Fine.
Fine, I suppose you do deserve to know the truth.
Okay, then.
No sense dillydallying.
I really am the Devil.
My brother Amenadiel is a former angel.
That time you thought you survived being stabbed by your junior associate, you didn't.
You died, and your soul went straight to Hell.
Your empty body became a-a vessel for my real mum, the goddess of all creation, until her celestial light started bursting out of your midsection.
Naturally, I sent her to another universe so she wouldn't destroy this one.
Once she vacated your body, you, Charlotte, came back to life.
All right? There we are.
All caught up.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY.]
You wanted the truth? Well, there it is.
Now, I really, really must be going, because I have an innocent demon in the clink, but if you have any follow-up questions, please, do feel free to ask Amenadiel.
Maze.
How you holding up? Never better.
What do you want? I'm here to support you.
Okay, I-I will never, ever forget how you helped my brother, so if there's anything you need, anything at all, I'm your girl.
Even if I'm guilty? Well, I don't think that you are.
Even though there isn't one shred of evidence that exonerates you.
Like, nothing.
I mean, honestly, I've never even seen someone look more guilty.
But I have faith in you anyway.
Well, there is one thing that you could do for me.
Yeah.
Name it.
I could use a hug.
Like you even need to ask.
Bring it in! Mm.
Oh! I was just on my way to find you guys.
Got the lab results back from the green tea coconut water.
No match on the DNA, unfortunately.
It was - Demonic? - Inconclusive.
But I did find a set of prints.
They were yours.
LUCIFER: Well, if your prints are on that can, that means someone must've broke into your house and stolen it from your wheelie bins.
What? Your trash.
I assume you're the one who throws 'em out for her.
And whoever stole the can could've also stolen Maze's knife.
Which means - someone's framing Maze.
- Someone's framing Maze.
You guys, I'm really worried about her.
She's hurting.
When I hugged her just now, she hugged me back.
She she hugged you? [LOCK BUZZES, LATCH CLICKS.]
["HUNT ME DOWN" BY THE BLACK ANGELS PLAYING.]
I walked up on you Excuse me.
You supposed to be here, ma'am? I can be entranced I'm right behind Ms.
Lopez! I've heard so much about you.
Only been here a couple weeks, and everyone says you're just an absolute ray of sunshine.
Yeah, that's me.
Rainbows, science, God.
Oh, uh, uh, just need your old, uh, John Hancock and your security PIN, uh, to sign out that file, you know? Protocol.
[CHUCKLES.]
How 'bout a hug instead? - A Lopez hug? - Mm-hmm.
Oh, I've heard about those, too.
- [CHUCKLES.]
- Must-must be my lucky day.
Uh - [SUCKS AIR THROUGH TEETH, GRUNTS.]
- Oh! Oh, okay.
Um, getting kind of dizzy here.
Um, okay.
[GRUNTS.]
[THUDS.]
Pleasure to really meet you.
That other Ella was mean.
[SCOFFS.]
I can't believe Maze used me.
She ruined hugging.
Uh, I'll-I'll take that.
Thank you.
Lovely.
Go easy on Maze, Ms.
Lopez.
What, like you did? Uh, look, yes, I admit I was a bit miffed.
But that's because I thought Maze was manipulating me.
Now it's clear she didn't kill that fellow, it's obvious someone is manipulating her.
Which is a terrible feeling, by the way.
We need to help her.
Excuse me, do you know what she was looking for in here? Maze wanted us to lock her up.
- Chloe - She's innocent.
The lab results from the coconut water prove that she's being framed.
Then why did she turn herself in? Because she needed something from this file.
The booking sheet from the Vic's recent arrest.
Why is the corner missing? Because that's where the bail bondsman's name and address was.
A guy named Barry Hill.
He's the one who posted the Vic's bail.
- What does she want with him? - Okay, in order to frame Maze, someone had to convince her to go to the crime scene, you know, make her think that she was tracking a normal bounty.
That's where she found Mike Biltz dead, - with a knife in his chest.
- Yeah.
And pulled it out.
That's a pretty good frame job.
And since Barry the bondsman hired Maze to find Mike, he's probably the one who set her up or he probably knows who.
Wow.
Not bad, Decker.
- Thanks.
- [CHUCKLES.]
Are we okay? Yeah.
Yeah, we're okay.
Uh, look, we'll talk about it later.
But I have to go.
Oh.
Sorry.
Hate to interrupt the canoodling.
Which I am so okay with.
It doesn't fill me with mistrust at all.
But duty calls, Detective.
Can't have Maze taking justice into her own hands now, can we? - Mm-mm.
- No.
Okay.
[EXHALES.]
[DOOR SHUTS.]
[HORN HONKS.]
["LOCKED AND LOADED" BY THE BREVET PLAYING.]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh - Oh-oh-oh-oh - [BREATHING DEEPLY.]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Strong and steady, suited up like a renegade - Everybody's talking - MAN: Hey! What's your problem?! Hey! Which one of you mid-life crises is Barry Hill? Get out of the lane, lady! You're blocking the way of the two-time league champs here.
[CHUCKLES.]
You must be Barry.
You're coming with me.
Need to ask you a few questions.
[CHUCKLES.]
: Oh, well, you know, I'll give you everything you need.
After I roll.
So do me a favor, honey.
Just stay there and look pretty, all right? Once said [EXHALES.]
- Just for tonight - [GRUNTS.]
What gives? [PINS CLACKING.]
7-10 split.
Gonna be hard to pick that up with your face caved in.
[GRUNTING.]
Now, just stay there and look pretty.
BARRY: Okay! Okay, okay! I'll tell you everything you need to know! Ju-Just let me up! Just let me up! - [GASPING.]
Lucifer told me everything.
As in everything? As in the whole freakin' enchilada.
[CHUCKLES.]
As in I was possessed by the goddess of all creation.
[CHUCKLES.]
But it's all good.
Because she's in another universe.
And you believed him? No.
Yes.
[SIGHS.]
I don't want to.
I was hoping that you could help clear things up with one simple question.
What's my husband's name? Um God.
Frey.
Godfrey.
- You're lying.
- Charlotte, I don't know what you want me to say here.
Um, the truth.
But a truth that makes sense.
Because right now, the only thing that feels real to me is that I was in Hell.
And that's insane! [CHUCKLES.]
: I mean, you can't actually be an angel and Lucifer can't actually be the Devil.
Because if I believed that, then then it would mean that I'm insane.
[GRUNTS.]
[BARRY GROANING.]
Easy, lady! Okay, what's this all about? Don't play dumb.
You called me to bounty Mike Biltz.
And funny thing when I found him: he was dead.
Stabbed with one of my knives.
Security camera was a nice touch though.
Made me smile.
So why'd you set me up? Okay, yeah.
Okay, someone-someone paid me to call you, but I don't know nothin' about any kni Who paid you?! Some corporate guy called me.
I-I don't know who he was.
He said he worked for some place called, um, Sebastian Corp.
Sebastian Corp? What's that? [GUNSHOT.]
- Well, I didn't see that coming.
- [THUD.]
Long-range round, large caliber.
Barry here died from a sniper hit.
Ah, it's definitely not Maze's style.
She prefers her violence up close and personal, believe me.
Guesstimating the bullet's trajectory, I'd say the killer shot from across the street.
Well, an entire bowling team saw "that crazy hottie" leave this office right after the shooting.
Which means she wasn't across the street when the shots - were fired she was here.
- Yeah.
She couldn't have taken those shots.
But I'm still mad about the hug.
Well, if Maze didn't kill the Big Lebowski here, who did? [SIGHS.]
Maybe somebody who framed her was tying up loose ends.
But who has beef with Maze? - My money's on someone she bounty-hunted.
- Yeah.
Someone she caught and brought to justice.
Surely those miscreants have the biggest grudge.
Well, time to interview Maze's ex-bounties.
Oh.
Fun and games.
Oh, here we go Oh, oh, oh, yeah, here we go - [GRUNTS.]
- Hello.
Tell us how you know Mazikeen Smith.
She hunted me down like a dog.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
She came from nowhere.
- [SOBBING.]
- S-So, what did she do to you? She ate my goldfish.
[RAPID CHOPPING SOUNDS.]
Then a rain of many sharp knives.
And did she do that? No, she did this.
- [CREAKING.]
- [SQUEAKS.]
Oh, dear.
Would you like some Advil? [SOBBING.]
- [SNORTING, LAUGHING.]
- What? - She - Sorry, Detective.
Fish caught my tongue.
- [LAUGHS.]
- [CHUCKLES.]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
He tried to tell her he already paid his parking tickets.
You must have been upset that Maze caught you.
Mm.
Perhaps you hated her.
Hated her enough to frame her.
No.
Maze is all right.
After she got me, she bought me a beer.
[STRAINED GRUNTING.]
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
[GRUNTS.]
TRANSLATOR: She taught me how to make a shiv out of a toothbrush.
[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE.]
And you better believe it came in handy.
The nice thing about Maze [SNIFFLES.]
she doesn't judge.
[SOBBING.]
: She's a nice lady.
[CRYING.]
- [LAUGHING.]
- [LAUGHING.]
Lucifer's always gonna be in the way, isn't he? All I know is that they have a real connection.
They're a package deal now.
It's like [SIGHS.]
Say you fall in love with a woman who has a cat.
What are you gonna do? You accept the cat.
Because she's worth it.
Lucifer's the cat.
I'd just get rid of the cat.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Come on.
- We have one more.
- [SIGHS.]
Bloody hell.
Let's cut to the chase, shall we? - Mm-hmm.
- Hello.
Do you hold a mortal grudge against bounty hunter Mazikeen Smith? Nah.
I should, but no.
Maze changed my life.
She scared me straight.
Oh.
Really? What, bank job? Mob hit? No.
Winery gig.
Way overpaid.
Definitely fishy.
Maze taught me if it's too good to be true, stay away.
Uh, what winery? Monte De Oro Winery.
Gorgeous drive.
Very romantic.
Lucifer, Margo and Zack are behind this.
We got to get to that winery.
You really think that they framed Maze - and killed those two people? - Yes.
And I bet Maze knows why.
- Thank you.
- Right.
Looks like we'll have to stop her from actually killing someone this time.
Thank you.
[GASPS.]
Found you.
Lady, you framed the wrong demon.
- [GRUNTS.]
- [GLASS BREAKING.]
[WHIMPERS.]
"Sebastian Corp"? Really? [LAUGHS.]
It took me a second after Barry mentioned it, but then I remembered.
Four months ago, I tracked down a bounty named Sebastian.
Yeah, real dirt bag.
Drove drunk, killed a girl, and then fled the charges when his rich mommy and fancy lawyers couldn't save him.
Turns out that rich mommy was you.
So why'd ya do it, lady? Sebastian put you up to this? Prison not agreeing with Momma's little boy? Sebastian is dead! Killed in a prison fight, the prison you put him in.
I had you framed because I wanted you to suffer like he did.
My boy is dead because of you.
You blame me? [GRUNTS.]
Sure, why not? Sebastian's a saint.
You're the perfect mom.
And I'm just the big, bad, evil demon.
And what would someone truly evil do to the one who framed her? [GUNSHOTS.]
[GUNSHOT.]
Best help money can buy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Yeah, I've always wanted to do that.
- Done that before.
- [GUN CLATTERS TO FLOOR.]
Maze, no! - [YELLS.]
- Maze, stop! [SCREAMS, GASPS.]
Drop the knife.
This isn't you.
Isn't it, though? I destroy things, Chloe.
It's what I do.
Friendships, relationships, apartment walls.
And, apparently, I killed this lady's son.
Maze, I know you didn't kill Mike Biltz, and you didn't kill Barry.
And her son isn't your fault, either.
We're all responsible for our own choices.
And right now, you have to make one.
Maze, you don't destroy everything.
Trixie loves you.
You're the best babysitter she has ever had.
Other than the time you let that rock band spend the night, and when you sent her to school with the pot brownies.
But the point is, no one's perfect.
But what matters most is that you're such a good friend to Trixie, to me.
And I don't know what you're going through, Maze.
I wish you would talk to me, but, please, please put down the knife.
Let me help you.
Help? You're the reason he won't take me home.
What? You want a knife, Chloe? - Maze! - [SCREAMS.]
Brother, are you sure? I mean, the old you would never have been okay with this.
I don't think we have much of a choice.
LUCIFER: Charlotte.
Do you have a minute? Sure.
Just getting ready to check myself into the loony bin.
Charlotte, listen.
I owe you an apology.
I shouldn't have told you what I did.
Yes.
And, well, I suppose that I didn't help things either.
So we are here to make things right.
Now, we can't undo what we've already done, but maybe we can help you move forward.
Last chance to change your mind, brother.
Going once, going twice Fair enough.
You, um, you may want to sit down.
Nah.
At this point, things can't get any crazier.
[CHUCKLES.]
You'd think.
[INHALES.]
Okay.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
[SIGHS.]
AMENADIEL: Oh, no, Luci.
We've broken her.
Charlotte.
Are you okay? [EXHALES.]
It's it's real.
[CHARLOTTE CRYING.]
Then that means I'm I'm not crazy.
[LAUGHS.]
Hey.
Hey.
I've, uh, I've been thinking a lot about what you said.
About Lucifer, and, um You know, I need you to know that he he and I, we're we're good partners, and we're good friends.
And I you know, I don't want to lose that.
It wasn't a fair ask.
No.
It's-it's it's also unfair of me to ask you to deal with this, you know? You want to take me home? I'll take you anywhere.
It's okay.
You don't have to ride with me.
I know.
I want to.
[ENGINE STARTS.]
[PENSIVE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS.]
[MAZE SIGHS.]
I'm here.
What do you want? To apologize.
Look, I thought you were manipulating me, but, well, I'm a big enough devil to admit when I'm wrong.
Anyway, killer caught.
Demon exonerated.
All good now? No.
Everything that happened showed me exactly why I need to go back.
I don't understand.
[SIGHS.]
It's all so complicated here, Lucifer.
I mean, caring about humans always goes wrong.
Feelings suck.
I am not the one who's supposed to be tortured.
You're the one who does the torturing.
Yes.
So please, just take me home.
I can't.
And not just 'cause of possible repercussions with Dad.
I [SIGHS.]
I can't lose you, Maze.
Not you, too.
Oh.
What do you mean, "not me, too"? [SCOFFS.]
The detective.
- Right.
- I just saw her ride off with Pierce.
She looked so happy.
That's what I want, I suppose, isn't it, her happiness? I just wish I knew that Pierce's intentions were pure.
Anyway, point is, you're right.
Feelings and humans suck.
So at least we have each other.
I'm always gonna be the consolation prize for you.
You only care about me when you don't have Chloe.
- Maze, now hold on.
That's.
.
- No.
[CRYING.]
: No one puts me first.
Least of all you.
None of you deserve me.
Safe Among liars Blame The deniers If history is dead and gone PIERCE: Leaving town? My God What are you doing here? You're angry the people you trust let you down.
Hmm.
Which is why we should work together for a change.
Why would I do that? I don't even like you.
[CHUCKLES.]
I don't like you either.
But at least I won't pretend to be your friend, like everyone else does.
Like I said, why would I do anything for you? Because I can help us both get what we want.
Ah, ah, ah-ah, so you want to start a war.
