[Lucifer]
Previously on Lucifer...

Someone's escaped from Hell.

-Who escaped Hell?
-[Lucifer] Mom.

If she's not coming to kill me,
then I don't know what she's doing.

[Charlotte] Aren't you glad to see me?

I apologize for my human form.

-Chloe, I'm sorry.
-You don't get to be sorry.

[Dan] I've been demoted.
I've been reassigned to assist on cases.

I need to figure out where I fit in
in this world. I need some space.

[Amenadiel] Things have been
very trying for me.

Lucifer made a deal with your ex
to take you back to Hell.

And he doesn't break deals.

I want what your father took from me.

All right. You can stay.
Just until I figure out what I need to do.

[man] I wanna say
I'm sorry for all my sins.

For anything I have ever done
that hurt people.

I was stupid.

And I am sorry.

I am so sorry.

[crying]

All I want now is forgiveness.

I just wanna take it all back.

Please.

-[lighter clicks]
-No, let me take it back!

No, no, no. No!

-[laughing]
-[moaning]

No need for squeals.

I can stop this torture any time you like.

You just say the word.

Don't you dare stop.

[Charlotte] What happens if he stops?

Lucifer, don't be shy.
Introduce me to your friend.

Lucifer! You brought a surprise.

I most certainly did not bring
any surprises.

-Oh, she's beautiful.
-That's my mom you're talking about.

This just got too weird.

[Lucifer] Listen, Mom.

I know I chose
not to return you to Hell yet--

Which I appreciate.

But that doesn't mean you can just
waltz in here and accost my guests.

I apologize.

It's just that all these human rules
and customs are so confusing.

Remember, I'm still getting used
to this earthly skin-sack.

Yes, yes, you used to be a Goddess,
I know.

But things are different now.

And I will figure it out.

Now that we're together again,
I just want to be part of your lives.

Not this part!

Out of bounds.

Wait, what did you mean by "lives"?

I want to see Amenadiel.

[laughs] What?

It's time.

I am not going to live in fear
of my own son.

We may have had our differences--

He literally carried you to Hell.

But I created him.
Certainly that has to count for something.

It doesn't. Bummer, right?

One look at you, and he'll take you
right back where you came from.

I'm surprised he hasn't come
sniffing around already.

Well, what am I supposed to do?
Just sit here and hide?

See a movie. Go to a museum.

Catch up on what's happened
over the past few thousand years.

You'll be surprised.

Yes, I suppose a lot has changed.

I mean, who would have predicted
you would have taken on this human job.

I'm a punisher, Mother.
It's what I've always done.

The only thing that changed
was the locale.

[sighs]

I know what you're thinking,

but I was assisting on a stakeout
that went long, and I'm really sorry.

But I promise you
I will make it up to you, okay?

How?

Double fudge. Your favorite.

You're lucky I like you.

-Hey.
-Hey.

Thank you for letting me
do the pick-up here at work.

I've just been running around a lot
since the demotion.

You know,
helping out on everyone else's cases.

Yeah, it's fine. It's fine.

Are we still going
on our family camping trip?

Oh, uh--

We're still working out
the logistics of that.

Of the trip.

-[clears throat]
-Look, I know that you're still mad at me.

I deserve it.

But this stuff between us
is starting to affect Trixie.

So I think that we need to talk later.

[phone ringing]

Yeah. Yeah, we should.

You're right. Decker.

Okay, yeah. Two seconds.

[man on recording] I was stupid.

And I am sorry.

Victim's name is Nicholas Sands, 35.

Worked as an exec
at the Internet startup called Wobble.

Wobble?

Please tell me that's a pornography site.

Oh, no, no. Wobble's
like a next-gen Facebook, you know.

People post updates, photos, links.

Mine's mostly slo-mo videos of me doing
cannonballs onto inflatable pool toys.

You should check it out.

I'll pass, but thank you.

Nick's confession was posted
to his Wobble account,

six hours ago,
right around the time of death.

Which means whoever did this
wanted us to find that video.

So we could see how weepy
this chap was before he died?

Now that is cruel.

Ella, do we know how the fire started?
Any chemicals we can trace?

So far all we've got is paraffin oil.

Which is highly flammable,
but also, like, everywhere.

Even in crayons,
so color at your own risk.

That doesn't help us narrow the suspects.

Yeah, but this might.

Okay, so based on the burn pattern,
which is pretty gnarly in this case,

it looks like the highest concentration
of accelerant was placed, well, here.

-Goodness gracious, great balls of fire.
-Lucifer.

I've heard of hot pants,

but this really brings new meaning
to the term fire crotch, doesn't it?

Lucifer!

Wait, I have more. Smokey Bobinson,
Weekend at Bernie's.

His burning bush?

Oh, very good. [chuckles]

That was actually me, by the way.
So don't tell anyone.

Hey, guys? Dead body.
Can you please take this seriously?

I assure you, Detective,
I'm taking this very seriously!

Look at this.

Our killer was clearly
punishing his victim.

And?

And punishing is my job.

So if there's someone out there stealing
my jam, I need to find out who.

[laughs] Game bloody on.

[theme music playing]

Do not touch the charred crotch.

Is a sentence I never thought
I'd say out loud.

It's vicious work.

I mean, I reserved this kind of treatment
for the truly terrible in Hell.

Pedophiles, Nazis.

People who put their seats back
on a plane.

Uh-huh. Seeing as the nature
of the crime is so specific,

we need to figure out who had
a personal grudge against the victim.

Uh, by the way,
you've skipped a spot there.

Oh.

Yes, not like you to miss a step
in the clothing department.

Yes, well, I had to rush out this morning.

I've got an unexpected house guest
I can't get rid of.

Oh, right. New lady friend
that you can't shake?

Rather old one, actually.

Yeah, I know how complicated exes can be.

What? She's not an ex.

[officer] You should see this, Detective.

Thanks.

What is it?

E-mails from Nick's supervisor at Wobble.

A woman by the name of Leila Simms.

Let me guess. Something riveting
about the latest quarterly report?

"How could you? I should've known better.
You won't get away with this."

"I'll burn you,
starting with your man parts"?

No. Well, still,
that's a pretty good lead.

Yup.

Do not touch the charred crotch.

Nick was so sweet and charming.

How can someone do such a thing?

So, Leila, you were his supervisor.
How well did you know him?

We dated briefly. A while ago.

Oh.

Would you say things, sort of, flamed out,

or did they end
in more of a blaze of glory?

-Lucifer--
-You're right. Far too subtle.

Why did you torture
the poor young man to death?

Torture him?

Oh, God.

You think I had something to do with this?

-We know about the angry e-mails.
-I was pissed off!

He shared pictures of us together.

Oh? Mid-coitus? If so, we'll have to
confiscate those immediately.

No!

Just of us at dinner.

I'm his boss, and inter-office
romance is frowned upon here.

Well, hardly seems worthy of lighting
a man's johnson on fire.

Wait.

Is that how he died?

There's something you should see.

-[phone beeps]
-Ray, can you come in here, please?

Ray, I'm gonna need you to pull up the
video of Tommy at the company retreat.

The video of Tommy?

Ray's head of our HR.
Being protective is part of his job.

Do it, Ray.

Nick was a charmer,

but he had a tendency
to be a little harsh with interns.

A.K.A., he could be a real dick.

As you'll see.

-[all laughing]
-[yelping]

My balls!

[laughing]

Come on, that is quite funny.

[Leila] Nick posted the video
shortly after the retreat.

And even though it was quickly taken down,
everyone saw it.

Tommy was a laughing stock.

He quit pretty soon after.

Certainly looks like motive.

What can you tell me
about Nick Sands' death?

Just that the bastard
finally got what he deserved.

Okay. And why did he deserve it?

As soon as I took the job at Wobble,

Nick made it his personal mission
to make my life hell.

Sabotaging my work, terrorizing me,
making me the butt of all of his jokes.

Or the balls, in this case.

That stupid video was my breaking point.

Everyone saw it. Everyone laughed at me.

No one's laughing now, Tommy.

So after everything that happened, what?

You wanted to make him feel your pain?

He deserved what happened to him.

Yeah, but you're not answering
the question.

Did you kill Nick?

I understand punishment
all too well, Tommy.

And Nick deserved to be punished.

He did, didn't he?

He took your dignity,
and so you had to take your revenge.

There was no other way
to get your proverbial balls back.

So tell me.

-Did you desire--
-I killed him.

Oh.

Well, that took all the fun out of it.

-That did not go how I expected.
-Oh, come now, Detective.

He obviously wanted people to know
that he got his revenge.

Now our would-be punisher is brought
to justice, and the field is mine again.

What on Earth is she doing here?

[Chloe] Charlotte Richards.
The defense attorney we saved, remember?

She must be back here,
defending some scumbag.

But why are they all being so chummy?

Well, she used to be a cop, and, oh, yeah,

'cause she's a knockout.

Personally, I'm surprised
that you haven't tried...

Pardon me. Pardon me. Excuse us.

Charlotte, hello, do you mind
if we have a quick word? [chuckles]

What are you doing here, Mother?
I thought we agreed

to do something constructive
with your time.

Like mall walking,
or a studio tour perhaps, but...

How did you even find your way here?

Well, it wasn't difficult.

I simply smiled at a male human,
and asked him to take me.

Need I remind you that Charlotte Richards
has a husband out there

who is wondering where she popped off to.

And you have a son
who wants to take you back to Hell.

So drawing attention to yourself
in a police station

in this little get-up, not a good idea.

But I had to see it for myself.

My boy, working,
toiling amidst humanity's muck.

Well, I hope it's everything
you imagined and more.

Now go see Cabaret.
I'm sure you'll find it riveting.

I just don't understand.

Of all the things
that you could do with your talents,

law enforcement?

Have you considered
I might enjoy exploring humanity?

They eat, darling. All they do is eat.

And then afterwards
the food comes out changed.

And not for the better.

Detective.

I didn't realize you and Charlotte
knew each other so well.

Oh, we do and we don't.
It's sort of a long story, really.

Right, shall we go somewhere
to celebrate solving the case?

No, not yet.

Tommy was humiliated.
Makes sense why he'd want to kill Nick.

But something just doesn't sit right.

Detective, you of all people should know

how good it feels
to punish someone who's wronged you.

-How so?
-Come now.

You may not be roasting
Dan's chestnuts yet.

But a shoulder shrug here,
a dismissive look there,

could be just as effective.

Okay, fine. Maybe I've been a little hard
on Dan lately, but he deserves it.

And I'm sure you found it very satisfying.

But have you considered
for just one moment

how your fighting affects
those caught in the middle?

You mean Trixie?

No, I mean me.

Think of how terribly bored
I am by it all.

Ah, look, there he is.

Now's your chance to stop with your
"will they, won't they" nonsense.

It's not that simple.
I'm avoiding a difficult conversation.

-Well, I--
-[shushes]

Hi.

There's something you gotta see.

Another apology video dropped
along with another body.

I know it was wrong.
I shouldn't have posted that video.

She didn't deserve
to be humiliated like that.

I'm sorry.

[Chloe sighs] Two murders. The same M.O.

But Tommy was already in custody
when this guy was killed.

There's no way he did this.

[Lucifer] Tommy wanted his dignity back.

Whoever did this clearly had
a much grander objective in mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like
we're tracking a serial killer.

[camera shutter clicking]

Victim's Adam Wiser, 29,
worked as an assistant at a local bank.

Time of death was two hours ago,

but apparently he's been missing
for almost two days.

Ooh, that's a long time on a sex rack.

Not a record, but quite impressive.

Ella, we know the cause of death?

Well, he's got broken ribs,
a ruptured spleen

and possible cranial bleeding,
which would all totally suck.

And yet, this dude asphyxiated.

He was choked with an apple?

No, more like an orchard.

We're gonna have to cut him open
to get the rest.

That's messed up.

Certainly brings new meaning
to the term "deep throat."

Why not just kill the guy?
Why all the pomp and circumstance?

Our punisher's clearly sending a message.

Perhaps if we find the video
the apple boy's apologizing for,

we'll know what that message is.

-Hold this.
-What are you doing?

The original video was filmed
on Nick's phone, right?

What if Adam's doing the same thing?

[cell phone ringing]

Careful, Detective.
It might be a booby trap.

[sighs]

[ringing stops]

The video's already cued up.

Look at this.

Notice anything familiar?

The ball gag's amaranth.

Just like the apple.

So our killer's paying homage
to a bloody sex tape?

He's recreating the crimes
he's punishing for.

First lighting Nick's groin on fire,
now this.

He's upping his game.

Okay, but what's with the outfit?

I mean, other than giving me super creepy
flashbacks to Catholic school,

it doesn't add up.

And the woman
is not wearing one in the video.

She certainly looks too old
to be in school.

Unless she teaches at one.

Her name's Sarah Aiken, 27.
A third grade teacher.

Cute. Not hot.
But extra points for proclivities.

[sighs] When she broke things off
with Adam,

he uploaded his revenge porn to Wobble.

Some teachers caught wind of it,
and she was fired.

Well, maybe she took out
both Nick and our loathsome ex.

You know, no harm, no foul.

And no dice.
Because she had no connection to Nick.

And shortly after she lost her job,
she killed herself.

What, so our poor sexy teacher is dead,

and our apple-chomping
schoolboy's responsible?

And the only other connection
we were able to find

is that both victims posted
their illicit videos to Wobble.

So, maybe some sicko saw both videos
and decided to take action.

Sicko? Sounds to me
like someone's doing our job for us.

We don't exact vengeance, Lucifer.

Well, maybe we should.

As far as I'm concerned,

these little wankers
got exactly what they deserved.

-See you later.
-Hey!

Where are you going?
We have to find out who did this.

Well, I thought someone out there
was stealing my job.

But far be it from me to stand in the way
of excellent work.

I'm off for a drink.

[Linda] Honestly, I'm impressed.

It's hard going out on your own.

Changing old habits.

I admire the steps you're taking.

Well, don't admire too much.

I'm still coming to Lux.

Yes. Baby steps are fine.

Plus the view here is nice.

[giggles]

The real key is to avoid setbacks.

Setbacks that are tall, blonde,
and have a special place in Hell?

Hi, Maze.

Hi, human.

[chuckles]

I need to get rid of that bitch.

Now I know why you're still here.

Why?

You and Lucifer are very close.

It's normal that you be jealous
of a new girlfriend.

[laughs]

I'm not jealous.

And she's not his girlfriend.
She's just toxic.

Lucifer doesn't see it, but I do.

Oh, so you want to protect him?

I want her to get what she deserves.

Which, at the very least, is a head butt.
I'll be right back.

Okay, okay, maybe

we should start with our words.

Perhaps as Lucifer's friend,
you can talk to him.

Express how you feel.

He won't listen.

But maybe someone else will.

-Where are you going?
-Taking your advice.

Hey, Man Bun.

Take care of my friend.

[sighs]

Why do I even try?

Because you're an incredible woman.

Oh.

So, I reached out to Wobble

to cross reference who saw
both Nick and Adam's videos.

-And?
-They lawyered up.

Hid behind privacy laws,
and without a warrant,

Wobble won't let us anywhere near
their viewership data.

Okay. Pull the warrant
and I'm on my way there.

No problem.

Dan.

Um, so, I've been thinking about the trip,

and, um...

I don't think it's fair to put Trixie
in the middle of our problems, you know?

So you want to skip it.

You know, I wanna spare us
all the heartache and...

I just feel like if we go on the trip
and, you know,

we pretend everything's fine,

and then we're just lying to her.

Yeah.

All right.

[song continues indistinctly]

Excuse me, excuse me.

-Oh!
-What do you think you're doing?

I'm taking your lead, son.
Learning about your beloved humanity.

By dancing at my club?

I saw the people on the tables smiling

and I wanted to discover
what they were so happy about.

Is it possible
it's the money that I pay them?

It's possible.

But I have to admit,

when I started dancing,
rubbing up against the other humans,

-I got a tingling sensation--
-Okay! That's enough.

Excuse me, excuse me, thank you.

I don't understand.
I thought you'd be pleased by my effort.

Disturbed is more like it.

Are you actually trying to systematically
disrupt every part of my life?

No. I'm trying to learn
about every part of your life.

Oh, right, how's that
going for you so far?

Quite illuminating, actually.

I understand now
why you have this provocative club.

I understand why you amused yourself
with that curvaceous savage.

-But what I don't understand--
-Is my human job.

Yes, I know. It's very simple.
I'm a civilian consultant.

But why do you still punish people?

It's what I've always done.

That's not true.

That's who your father wanted you to be.

Are you still trying to win him over?

-Careful, Mother.
-Why?

Are you going to punish me?

I'm sorry, Detective.
I looked into the two videos in question

and unfortunately, there was no overlap.

Doesn't make any sense.

I'll need a list of everyone
who saw the videos.

Sadly, we don't track people.
Just IP addresses.

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way.

Can you take me through
how your video process works?

Well, our users can upload
anything they want.

And if we find that
the content's inappropriate,

anything from animal cruelty
to beheadings, it gets taken down.

By who?

Our content moderators.

Most of 'em only last a few months.

Frankly, most people can't stomach
something so dark or upsetting.

Right.

[Lucifer laughing]

God, that has got to smart.

Can I see that again?

Lucifer.

Oh, detective, you're here.

Did you know that this room collects
all the best parts of the Internet?

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, yeah, but you gotta see this.

A naked man thinks he can jump
on the back of a rhino.

And you'll never guess what he lands on.

Actually, you probably will.

What? You've seen it already?

[sighs]

-What are you doing here?
-Trying to catch our killer, duh.

I thought you didn't care whether
this sicko was brought to justice.

Oh, I don't.
But then I realized that our killer

may have the answer to a question
that I'm, you know, struggling with.

-Mmm.
-Why does he punish?

That's it?

First you want to teach this vigilante
a lesson,

-and now you wanna have a talk with him?
-Yes.

And lucky for me
I found out where you were headed.

[laughs] And these videos are enthralling.

[Chloe] No, I... I can't watch these.

[Lucifer] Oh, I've seen worse.

But never so many
collected in one single room.

You know, if I ever go back to Hell,
I am getting me one of these.

-Selfish bastards get to see everything.
-[man yelling on video]

[dog barking]

[splashing]

Yeah.

They do.

I know where the overlap is.

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

[Maze] Amenadiel, I know you're in there.

[whirring]

Open up.

[sighs]

Hey.

What are you hiding?

Nothing. [chuckles nervously]

[laughs]

I see what's going on with you.

-You do?
-Sure.

Humans say that rebound sex is important
after a breakup.

You don't have to hide
that you're getting some.

[chuckles]

I'm not.

Right.

Of course,
I didn't want you to feel awkward.

Silly me.

[sighs]

So what're you doing here?

I have a problem. I need your help.

There's a new woman in Lucifer's life.

I want her gone,
but he won't listen to me.

And why do you care?

I thought you were stepping away
from both of us.

I am.

-But before I do, I--
-I'll talk to him.

Yeah.

Well, that was easy.

I'm his big brother, Maze.

I really should start looking out for him
more often.

Okay.

Thank you.

All right. Thanks.

Dan's working with Wobble to trace
what moderator may've pulled both videos.

Hopefully we'll have an answer soon.

Why are you so sure
the killer's one of these misanthropes?

Well, serial killers usually start
with someone they know.

If the killer worked here, they knew Nick,
saw how much the prank hurt Tommy.

So you think seeing someone
they recognized

in one of these twisted videos
finally made them snap?

Maybe it awakened something in them.

Something that was always there
just fighting to get out.

[chuckles] But they were
just trying to do a job.

A job no one else wanted.

Well, maybe they chose that for a reason.

No one chooses
to be a sin-eater, Detective.

No one wants to be
custodian of the world's filth.

Why would they?

Absorbing the worst humanity has to offer,
day in and day out,

it changes you.

So you think it's the job's fault
that they started to punish?

People don't arrive broken.

They start with passion and yearning

until something comes along
that disabuses them of those notions.

Hmm.

Which means
that none of these people did it.

Okay. I'm not following.

Well, look at Tim there,

with the photos of his ugly children.

Ivan and his flowerpots.

Poor Andrea's still hoping
Destiny's Child get back together.

Don't you see?

These people still have hope.

-[Chloe] Excuse me.
-Yeah?

Who's had this job the longest?

Um, maybe me.
I've been at it two whole months.

-Anyone else?
-No.

Other than Leila, of course.

-Leila, your boss?
-Yeah.

She started as a moderator
before the company blew up.

-She was the first of us.
-Thanks.

Leila knew Nick.
She had access to the videos.

If she's behind this--

She's known what we've been doing
every step of the way.

Dan, I need you to see if you can trace
the videos

to one person in particular now.

[sighs] We're looking at Leila Simms.

I can't believe we had the killer
right under our nose.

And she's gone.

Touché, Leila. Touché.

Lucy?

Lucy, you home?

[Charlotte] He's not here.

He left in quite the hurry before.

I think it was something I said.

I'm sorry, are you his latest--

Trust me, I'm not his latest anything.

All right.

So, what are you doing here then?

I'm having a bit of an existential crisis,
I suppose.

I've been known to be a good listener.

Okay.

I'm having some trouble with my kids.

Needed to get away from them
for a little bit?

No, the opposite, actually.

I'm trying to get closer to them,
but I'm not having much luck.

Tell me. Are you a good son?

I try to be.

Well, then perhaps you can explain.

Would a good son blindly
take his father's side in a divorce?

Would a good son

send his mother to Hell?

And would a good son

stand here right before me,

without a care in the world,
plotting to send me back?

Mom?

I thought I've come to Earth
to be with my sons.

Instead, Lucifer is obsessed
with his human job,

and you're still
your father's loyal soldier.

I'm tired of fighting for things
that I'm never gonna have.

So just take me back, Amenadiel.
I'm ready.

No matter what happens,

I will always love you.

Always.

[sighs]

Leila took down both videos,
killed Nick and Adam,

and then led us by the nose
until she had time to escape.

Why didn't I realize it was her?

Because as a punisher, she's quite adept
at avoiding her own medicine.

Quite impressed, really.

[computer beeps]

[Chloe] Hey, Dan.

Yeah, I just saw it.
I'm already working on a trace.

[Lucifer] Judgment day?

Those people should really be careful
how they use that phrase.

It isn't actually due
for another couple of years.

She's gonna kill herself live on the air.

What? Well, that won't do at all.

How am I supposed to talk to her
if she's dead?

Glad you have your priorities in order.

We're dealing with someone
smart and clever,

who tortured with a brutal sense of irony,

but killing herself
whilst humiliating her company...

It doesn't fit the pattern.

Hey, Sharon, can you pull up
the video of Leila driving again?

Yeah, sure.

Pause it there.

What are you looking for, Detective?

Zoom in to the edge of the seat.

Can you go in tighter?

I know images can be deceiving,

but that looks an awful lot like a gun,
doesn't it?

[Chloe] Leila is not our killer.

She's in danger.

You understand this sicko pretty well.
Where do you think he's going?

Somewhere linked to her sins, I suppose.

We barely know Leila. Who knows
what the killer thinks she's done.

Well, she runs the company
that hosts humanity's worst depravities.

But we know she's not there.

Hey, Dan, how's the trace coming?

The IP just keeps pinging back
to Wobble's main server.

It's gotta be a mistake.

Unless it's not a mistake at all.

You know, if you take away
the blinky lights and add some lost souls,

this place bears
a striking resemblance to Hell.

-Shh.
-[indistinct chatter]

Listen.

[Leila] My name is Leila Simms.

I'm one of the co-founders of Wobble.

I wanted to apologize
to anybody who's watching for...

For creating a forum

where evil and hate sought a refuge.

And there's Queen Wobble herself.

Yeah, but where's the killer?

And tonight I go down with the ship,

right alongside all those awful sins
that I helped give a voice to.

Please. Please.

Please. Please...

Don't make me do this. Please.

There's Ray, the HR rep.

Goodness me, I should have known.

He had halitosis. First sign of evil.

He had all the access he needed
to find his targets and frame Leila.

[crying]

What are you waiting for? Shoot him.

If he drops that lighter, he'll kill her.
I don't have a shot.

Okay, Detective. This next part
will be much easier if you're not here,

so I'm going to politely ask you
to leave, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm gonna figure this out.
Just give me a second.

All right. No rush.

Whilst you're pondering, I'm gonna go
and have a word with our killer.

That's a great idea.

Sorry, say that again?

I never meant to cause anybody any pain.

I'm sorry.

-I'm so sorry.
-Yeah.

[Lucifer] Hello, Raymond.

Hate to, uh, blow up your spot,
but I have a question to ask you

before you complete this
twisted little mise en scène.

Stay back.
I swear, I will drop this and she's dead!

Of course, there's the halitosis.
It travels, doesn't it?

You should really get that looked at.
But first,

indulge me this one simple query.

Why?

What?

Well, why are you a punisher?

'Cause I understand
the longing for justice

or the joy of sweet revenge.

But no one's forcing you to do this.
So why would you take it upon yourself?

Because I couldn't take it anymore.

All that evil was constantly spreading.
I had to do something.

I had to punish them.

You're wrong.

You didn't have to do anything.
You wanted to punish them.

No, that's not true.

Yes, it started with Nick,
that was impulsive,

but then you got a taste for blood
and it felt good, didn't it?

-I was doing my part.
-You had big plans

to go on a vengeance quest,
until we came nipping at your heels.

At which point, poor Leila took the fall.
An innocent.

-No! You're wrong.
-And then what?

You'd stop? Get away scot free?

[laughs]

We both know you can't stop.

Because you love it...

Just like the people you punished.

I don't! I...

I do.

I like seeing them beg for forgiveness.

You see the difference between us

is that you became
part of the problem, Ray.

Someone deserving punishment.

You're right.

I do.

We all do.

No, wait!

[fire alarm blaring]

Man, you really don't shut up.

Congratulations, Detective!

I suppose you could say
I look quite extinguished.

Right. Should get you untied.

[Chloe] Burning the midnight oil?

[laughs] What can I say?

Being everybody's bitch really sucks.

Yeah, well, it won't last forever.

So, I've had some time to think,

and, um,

I realize that I've been
really harsh lately.

-It's okay--
-No, let me finish, please.

I've been really hard on you
for a while now,

and I've been so upset and so angry and...

I did. I felt really betrayed.

I know.

But I realize you've...

You've been working so hard
to make it right.

And I feel like for the sake of Trixie
that we should go on the trip.

You know, we should go
like we always have.

I can't do that.

What do you mean?

You were right before.

We shouldn't lie to our daughter.

Okay.

Look, I'm always going to be Trixie's dad,

and I'm always going to be
a part of your lives.

But we've been living in the past
for too long.

We're no good for Trixie
if we're no good for each other.

But I think we both know the truth.

It's time we get a divorce.

[elevator bell dings]

[Amenadiel] Hello, Lucy.

Tell me you didn't do it.

-Do what?
-Don't play stupid with me.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Easy, Lucifer.

Your brother didn't send me to Hell,
if that's what you're worried about.

But you were so adamant.

I told you, Lucifer.

A mother's love counts
for more than you think.

My time on Earth has helped me to realize

that Father has a tendency to overreact.

So, you're going against Dad?

Things change, brother.

Do they?

Well, I for one, am grateful

that we're all just
in the same room. Together.

As a family again.

Yes, not so fast, Mother.

You see, I did make a promise,
and I am a man of my word.

I told you that you could stay here
until I figured out

how to reconcile my deal with Dad.

And now I have.

So you're going to punish me anyway?

I am indeed. And not because
I've been brainwashed by Dad

or I'm trying to prove anything.

I punish because I'm good at it.

I like giving people their due.

It makes me happy.

Well, I suppose I can't ask
for a better reason.

[scoffs]

Which brings me to your sentence.

Mother,

you shall remain right here on Earth,

amongst the creatures you so despise...

As one of them.

Wait.

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

Mmm-hmm.

-Well, how is that supposed to work?
-Not my problem.

And what if I refuse?

[Lucifer] You can't fight this.
You're human now.

But that husband,
and there's children, right?

-They're going to need things.
-Oh, I'm counting on it.

But if you truly want to be with your sons
then that's the price you have to pay.

So be it.

-[grunting]
-[shrieks]

Your money or your life, bitch!

[stutters] I choose money.

Does anyone choose life?

-That doesn't very--
-Give me that.

I'll give you what you want.
Just hold on. I said, hold on!
