CHRONOLOGY
ACT ONE
FADE IN:
And yes...
Hes that Lucifer. The son of God. The one who rebelled,
plotted against his father and plummeted from grace. The one
who was banished from Paradise and forced to serve as the
Lord of Hell for all eternity.
OFFICER DIGGS
CAN YOU TURN DOWN THE MUSIC, SIR?!
LUCIFER
You know what they say, Officer...
If its getting too loud, youre
gettin too old.
OFFICER DIGGS
Do you know why I pulled you over?
LUCIFER
Obviously you felt the need to
exercise your limited power and
punish me for ignoring the speed
limit. Its okay. I understand.
(smiles)
I like to punish people too.

LUCIFER (CONT'D)
(a wistful aside)
Or at least I used to...
OFFICER DIGGS
Do you have any idea how fast you
were going?
LUCIFER
Havent a clue. I blame it on the
Stones. They just make a man wanna
drive, ya know what I mean?
And Lucifer has now locked eyes with the officer, A poignant
beat. The cop pauses for a moment, thoughtful.
OFFICER DIGGS
Sometimes... I put my siren on, and
drive really fast for no reason at
all. Just cause I can.
LUCIFER
Right?! And why wouldnt you? Its
fun! Feels good to get away with
something, doesnt it?
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Its okay, Officer. People like to
tell me things. Those deep, dark,
naughty little desires thatre
really on their minds. It's a gift.
Must be something about this face.
OFFICER DIGGS
(all biz now)
License and registration.
LUCIFER
Coming right up...
OFFICER DIGGS
Are you trying to bribe me, sir?
LUCIFER
Yes, of course. Why, is that not
enough? Here, take more, its only
money.
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 3.
2 CONTINUED: (2) 2
OFFICER DIGGS
Its against the law, sir.
LUCIFER
You people are funny about your
laws. You break the law sometimes,
dont you?
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Do tell.
OFFICER DIGGS
Sometimes Ill pull a woman over
for a minor infraction and get her
to flash me a little somethin.
LUCIFER
You dirty dog you...
OFFICER DIGGS
Sometimes I let her off with a
warning. Sometimes I dont.
Sometimes other stuff happens...
LUCIFER
(shakes his head)
LAs finest...
(nods at the cash)
Youre tempted to keep that, arent
you?
(off the cops nod)
So what are you waiting for?
Permission? Keep it! Buy yourself
something pretty. You deserve it.
But if you dont mind, I really
must be on my way...
OFFICER DIGGS
Okay, sir, you have a nice evening.
LUCIFER
You too, Officer.

Lucifer dimes the radio and ROARS off -- leaving one very
dazed cop in his wake. As he goes, we see the Caddys rear
vanity plate, which reads: FALL1N 1. *
SMASH TO BLACK
MAZE
Whereve you been?
LUCIFER
Holed up at the Chateau. Copulating
with a woman named Faith. Ironic,
isnt it?
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Have I ever told you how incredibly
sexy you are when you cant control
your emotions?
MAZE
And what emotions might those be?
LUCIFER
Why, jealousy, of course.
MAZE
Try disappointment.
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 5.

MAZE (CONTD)
Thank you, Patrick. You can go.
MAZE (CONTD)
What? I dropped something.
(off Lucifers grin/shrug)
Now. Lucifer. Im a big fan of sex--
LUCIFER
--obviously--
MAZE
But shouldnt you be spending your
valuable time doing something
more... significant. Youre the
Lord of Hell, for cryin-out-loud.
LUCIFER
Im retired, Maze. Ive got nothing
but time.
MAZE
I think you have a visitor.
LUCIFER
Amenadiel! Hows it hanging, big
guy? Didnt you see the sign? No
angels allowed? No? Ill make an
exception for you -- on the house.
AMENADIEL
(takin in Lux)
Youve become quite ensconced with
this little hobby of yours...
(off Lucifers nod of thanks)

AMENADIEL (CONT'D)
Your return to The Underworld has
been... requested. *
LUCIFER
Oh, okay, let me check my calendar.
Yep, here it is. The seventh of
Never through the fifteenth of
Aint Gonna Happen? Hows that work
for you guys?
LUCIFER (CONT'D)
Im consistently surprised by the
whole no sense of humor thing.
(then)
Look, remind Dad I quit Hell
because I was sick and tired of
playing a part in his play. I
believe in free will, not that
tyranny of all his predestination
hoo-ha.
AMENADIEL
Ill warn you against disrespecting
Our Father.
LUCIFER
Yeah well, Our Fathers been
disrespecting me since the
beginning of time so... pot/kettle.
Dont you think?
AMENADIEL
You are a mockery of everything
divine.
LUCIFER
Thank you! But lately Ive been
doing a fair amount of thinking. Do
you think Im the devil because Im
inherently evil or simply because
dear ol Dad decided I was? Isnt *
this a classic case of labeling? *
AMENADIEL *
What do you think happens when the *
Devil leaves Hell? All those *
demons, those tormented souls... *
where do they go? *
LUCIFER *
Dont know, dont care, not my *
problem. *
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GRAY - 3/19/15 6A.

Tell Father, Im not. Going. Back.

LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 7.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
Consider the position officially
open. So you, my feathered friend,
can go to hell.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Go for it. You think Father's upset
now...
AMENADIEL
He has been patient five years. He
will not be merciful much longer.
DELILAH
Remember me...?
LUCIFER
Yes... youre famous. Delilah,
isnt it? Can I have your
autograph?
DELILAH
If I can have a drink.
LUCIFER
Whyd you come back?
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 8.
6 CONTINUED: 6
DELILAH
Feel safe here, I guess. Reminds me *
of how it was before everything got *
so big and messy. And you...
sometimes I feel like you were the
only one who was ever really honest
with me. But... I need to know
something.
LUCIFER
Whats that?
DELILAH
Did I sell my soul to the Devil?
LUCIFER
That would imply the Devil is
actually interested in your soul.
Thats the stuff of movies and TV.
They always get it wrong.
DELILAH
Come on, you took me in off the
street, let me sing up there
anytime I wanted. I told you I
wanted to be a star and thats when
things started happening for me.
And you do call yourself Lucifer.
LUCIFER
Call me whatever you want, but Im
really just a patron of the arts.
(softens)
Honestly, I introduced you to a few
key people who owed me favors. Thats
all.
She leans in, serious and vulnerable now... like a lost kid. *
DELILAH
Do you think Im talented?
LUCIFER
Of course. You have one of the most
beautiful voices Ive ever heard.
Its sweet, dirty, sexy, soulful...
I knew you were a star, I just
helped the world catch up.
DELILAH
Well, it certainly feels very
Faustian at times. Because along
with the good came a hell of a lot
of bad.
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 9.
6 CONTINUED: (2) 6
LUCIFER
Oh, so the Devil made you do it?
The alcohol, the drugs, the topless
selfies? Your choices are on you,
my dear.
DELILAH
Youre right. Youre absolutely
right. But the toxic relationships
were my biggest screw-up. God, I
really do have the worst taste in
men...
LUCIFER
You really do, darling. Jimmy
Barnes? I cant believe you almost
married that sweaty little imp...
DELILAH
He produced my album! You
introduced us!
LUCIFER
I suggested you work with him --
not sleep with him.
DELILAH
I got confused!
LUCIFER
And then you left him at the altar.
DELILAH
Yeah, that was pretty rude of me.
He trapped me in the bathroom at
the Grammys a month ago. Cried.
Said he wanted to get back
together. Then I hear hes marrying
some supermodel this weekend.
(laughs/almost crying) *
God, Im such a mess.
LUCIFER
God has nothing to do with your
mess anymore than I do.
(a beat)
You didnt sell your soul, Delilah,
but you do owe me a favor. Looks
like its time to settle up.
DELILAH
(kidding but not)
Im scared...
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 10.
6 CONTINUED: (3) 6
LUCIFER
You should be. Because what Im
about to ask is going to be quite
difficult for you.
(then)
Pull yourself together. Thats it.
Thats all Im asking. Get it
together before its too late.
Youre wasting your talent. Your
life.
DELILAH
(fighting tears)
I let you down.
LUCIFER
Then fix it.
7 OMIT 7
DELILAH
Im gonna do what you asked. Im
gonna get it together, Lucifer. I
promise.
LUCIFER
Its not about me. All these terrible
things that werent supposed to happen?
They happened. What happens next is up
to you.
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - CHERRY - 3/18/15 11.
8 CONTINUED: 8
The SHOOTERS body has been thrown from the crumpled car.
Laid out in a pile of broken glass. Twisted and BLOODY, but
still alive. Its all Lucifer can do to control his emotion.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
What did you do?
SHOOTER
I- Im sorry...
LUCIFER
Sorry? Tell me why. Why did you
end her life?
(seething, leans closer)
I can smell death coming for you --
shall I speed it along?
SHOOTER
Why else? Money...
LUCIFER
Times like these I wish I was back
in Hell. What I would do to you...
SHOOTER
Hey, I just pulled the trigger...
LUCIFER
What do you mean by that?
She strides over to the wrecked car where THE SHOOTER still
lies in a bed of broken glass and blood. Bends over to get a
closer look... when she hears some snickering and whispering.
Turns to see a couple ROOKIE UNIFORMS staring at her.
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GRAY - 3/19/15 12.

CHLOE
Can I help you?
UNIFORM #1
Nah... just talkin about some of
our favorite movies.
DAN
(nods at the uniforms)
Hey. Go secure the perimeter.
CHLOE *
You here to babysit me? Lieutenant *
said this is my case -- and I need *
it to be. *
DAN
Well, hi. Nice to see you, too. *
(no reaction)
Yes, its your case, Chloe. Wanna *
hear what I got so far though?
CHLOE
No.
DAN
Its an easy one. This is our bad
guy. Eddie Deacon. Low-level drug
dealer. Found these in his pocket--
DAN (CONTD)
--And this in Delilahs purse.
DAN (CONTD)
So, obviously drug related. Maybe
she owed him a buncha cash or
something. She wasnt exactly
selling out stadiums these days.
CHLOE
Howd you know hes low-level?
DAN
Look at his car?
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 13.
10 CONTINUED: (2) 10
CHLOE
Yeah, but look at his watch -- that
aint cheap.
DAN
Probably a fake.
(off Chloe, staring at it)
Wouldnt pick too hard at this one,
Chloe. Not after Palmetto Street.
CHLOE
I begged for this case because of
Palmetto, Dan. I need a big win or
Ill never get out of the penalty
box... So... any witnesses?
CHLOE
Lucifer Morningstar...? Is that
like, a stage name or something?
LUCIFER
God-given, Im afraid.
(studies her)
You look familiar. Have we met?
CHLOE
(uh-oh, but remains casual)
Five minutes ago. And Im asking
the questions... Talk to me about
your relationship with the victim. *
LUCIFER
She used to work here. A few years
back. I would occasionally
accompany her while she sang. Then
she became a big star and someone
decided to end her life.
CHLOE
Did you know the shooter?
LUCIFER
No. But we did have a nice little
chat before he kicked off. I asked *
him why he did it.
CHLOE
I see. Like to play cop, do you?
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 14.
11 CONTINUED: 11
LUCIFER
I like to play in general. What
about you, Detective? *
CHLOE
So you spoke to a dead guy?
LUCIFER
He wasnt quite dead. His soul was
still crossing the threshold. *
CHLOE
(indulges him) *
Okay then... whyd he do it? *
LUCIFER
Money, of course. You humans love
your money.
CHLOE
Yes. Yes, we do. And what planet
are you from? London?
LUCIFER
(smiles, cute)
He also said... I just pulled the
trigger. Interesting, no?
CHLOE
Delilah was shot to death by a drug
dealer. And looks like Delilah
herself kept the guy pretty busy.
Its sad. Its ugly. But its not
rocket science. Something obviously *
went south between them, she gets
riddled with bullets, and a nice
little act of God takes him out.
LUCIFER *
It doesnt work like that!
(then realizing)
Its quite a neatly wrapped present
for the LAPD, dont you think?
CHLOE
Okay. How does she end up dying in *
a hailstorm of bullets and you get
away without a scratch? Thats *
suspicious, dont you think? *
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 15.
11 CONTINUED: (2) 11
LUCIFER
The benefits of immortality.
CHLOE
Immortality... of course.
(writing it down)
Do you spell that with one m or
two, I always forget.
LUCIFER
What will your corrupt little
organization do about this?
CHLOE
Excuse me?
LUCIFER
Will you find the one responsible?
Will he be punished? Will this be a
priority for you?
CHLOE
Youve got some balls on you, pal.
LUCIFER
Thank you, but theyre really quite
average.
(studies her)
Are you sure we havent met? I
could swear Ive seen you naked.
Did we have sex?
CHLOE
What? Go to hell.
LUCIFER
No thank you. Much more fun here.
(as she gets up to leave)
Wait. Detective. Were not finished.
CHLOE
Yeah. We are.
ACT TWO
LUCIFER
Out with it, Maze!
MAZE
Im curious.
LUCIFER
About?
MAZE
Why this upsets you so much.
LUCIFER
There is someone out there that
deserves punishment. And its not.
Going. To. Happen.
MAZE
Who cares? Mortals die every day.
LUCIFER
Yes, insignificant ones! Human
nothings who never add anything to
this world. They only take and
consume and die cowardly pathetic
deaths. But this was different! She
was different.
MAZE
You care about her...
LUCIFER
Please. I care about punishing the
coward responsible.
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - CHERRY - 3/18/15 17.
12 CONTINUED: 12
MAZE
Who are you right now?
LUCIFER
I dont mind the occasional
smartass remarks, Maze. They can be
amusing, but dont disrespect me.
MAZE
The opposite is true. Youre the
Prince of frickin Darkness. Its
all well and good to take a
vacation, have fun in paradise with
the low-hanging fruit. But you're
losing sight of who you actually
are, Lucifer. You exist to punish
and torture for a universal reason.
Certainly not for a petty human
emotion such as love.
LUCIFER
I am not human. Take that back.
(sighs, playing it off)
The world was robbed of a great
talent. That makes me angry. Makes
me want to punish someone. In very
unholy ways. Thats all.
MAZE
Does that mean were going home?
Hes silent. Her smile fades but she kisses him sensually on
the cheek and slinks off. ON LUCIFER, Mazes words echoing...

Speak now or forever hold your
peace...
A VOICE BOOMS:
LUCIFER
Excuse me!
LUCIFER (CONTD)
I have a problem. Has anyone else
noticed how incredibly, jaw-
droppingly, loin-stirringly
beautiful this young woman is? And
how short, sweaty and altogether
fugly this homunculus is? What is
this? A wedding or a kidnapping?
LUCIFER (CONTD)
(chuckles)
Good luck with that, padre. While
youre at it, tell him I say hey --
its been awhile.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Jimmy Barnes! Do you remember me?
JIMMY BARNES
Hey, man, this is a private event.
Howd you get in here?
LUCIFER
Yes, and quite a lavish, be it
tacky one for a record producer on
the outs.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Do you remember me?

JIMMY BARNES
(hushed)
Of course I remember you! What do
you want?! Im a little busy!
LUCIFER
I cant believe youre getting
married the day after your ex-lover
and once brightest star is murdered
in cold blood.
JIMMY BARNES
Yeah, its sad, but Delilah ruined
my wedding once before. I wasnt
about to let her do it again.
LUCIFER
(locks eyes with him)
Yes. Its hard to be rejected,
isnt it Jimmy? Twice.
JIMMY BARNES
What?!
LUCIFER
She said you tried to get her back
recently. Id kill someone if they
denied me once... not that thats
possible. Come on, tell me, Jim-bo,
did you want her dead? You know I
love a juicy story.
JIMMY BARNES
Im not playing that mind game with
you. Of course not! I was furious
and humiliated when she dumped me,
but I think I rebounded pretty well.
LUCIFER
Clearly. Respect.
JIMMY BARNES
You should go play your games with
2Vile.
LUCIFER
The rapper?

LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 20.

JIMMY BARNES
Yeah, Delilah dumped me for that
lunatic. They were always fighting.
I think he slapped her around a
bunch. Hes the real deal, man, and
hes surrounded by a bunch of gun-
toting morons 24-7.
LUCIFER
Im sorry, how rude of me. Allow me *
to introduce myself...
SUPERMODEL BRIDE
I really dont want to have sex
with him tonight.
(to Jimmy)
Im sorry, I didnt mean that!
LUCIFER
Of course you dont! Lets be
honest here. Youre not marrying
this human stain because youre
actually in love with him, right?
SUPERMODEL BRIDE
No, I guess its more about
lifestyle.
LUCIFER
Good luck with that. Hes broke.
(she starts to cry)
Dry your tears, darling. At least
youll have this magical day.
(then)
Well, I should be going. Best of
luck to you crazy kids.

Lucifer exits his car, rings the bell. A massive GONG sounds.
Doors opened by a WHITE ENGLISH BUTLER.
BUTLER
Good afternoon, sir.
LUCIFER
Im here to see the man sadly known
as 2Vile. Is he in?
BUTLER
Im sorry, sir. Hes unavailable.
Im afraid hes in mourning.
LUCIFER
I have narcotics for him.
A moment.
BUTLER
Right this way, sir.
Lucifer follows the Butler into the den. Furniture from MOMA.
Killer city views. The ultimate in tacky Hollywood living.
LUCIFER
Can someone please turn down this
godawful music?!
2VILE
Whos this clown?
BUTLER
He has narcotics for you, sir.
LUCIFER
My name is Lucifer Morningstar.
2VILE
Lucifer Morningstar... thats a
good hip-hop name.
LUCIFER
That offends me.

2VILE
What, you dont like hip-hop?
LUCIFER
No, I most certainly do not.
2VILE
That offends me. You have a problem
with black people?
LUCIFER
Not in the slightest. I just hate
your music. And when I say your
music, I mean your music -- not
music made by other black people.
Without the blues, there would be no
devils music whatsoever. There are,
of course, many giants in the field.
Just not you. Am I being clear?
2VILE
Youre being clear all right -- if
youre looking to get yourself
killed.
LUCIFER
Dont waste your munitions. Im
immortal. Tell me about Delilah.
2VILE
Whats to tell? Shes dead. *
2VILE (CONTD)
DONT SHOOT HIM, YOU IDIOT!
2VILE (CONTD)
I didn't kill her!
LUCIFER
Why should I believe you?
2VILE
Because I loved the bitch!

LUCIFER
People sometimes kill people with
whom theyre in love. The heart is
mysterious. Or so Im told.
2VILE
Girl made me crazy!
LUCIFER
(drops him a bit more)
Women can do that. Doesnt mean you
should beat them up.
2VILE
Hey, hey! Come on, we worked that
out a long time ago. I hit her ONCE
cause she was cheating on me!
LUCIFER
With whom?
2VILE
I dont know! She wouldnt tell me!
Said it was a big secret. Some rich
married guy.
LUCIFER
Did she have a friend she mightve
confided in?
2VILE
Didnt trust no one. Her therapist *
is probably the only one who knows.
Some Dr. Linda in Beverly Hills. *
Saw her like five times a week on *
the dl. Used a fake name and *
everything. *
LUCIFER
Thank you for your time.
2VILE
Man, sometimes I get tired of *
frontin, ya know. I really just *
wanted to put a ring on that finger
and a baby up in there. She was the
one. And now shes dead.

LUCIFER
I like this side of you. You might
consider putting this kind of
emotion into your music. And change
your name. What does your mother
call you?
2VILE
Percy. Percy Wallace.
LUCIFER
(pause)
Never mind. Good luck with whats
left of your short-lived career.
CHLOE (O.S.)
Guns down! On the floor! Down! *
LUCIFER
You sly dog. You did listen to me.
CHLOE
Ran the dead guys cellphone.
2Vile was the last person he
called.
2VILE
Oh, come on, man!
CHLOE
(to Lucifer)
What I find highly interesting is
how you made the connection on your
own.
LUCIFER
Well, Ive been busy, my dear.
She clocks that... but first things first. She kicks the guns *
clear, confiscates them then turns to 2Vile.
CHLOE
Talk to me about Delilah--
LUCIFER
Yes, yes. Weve been over that one,
Detective. *

CHLOE
--And why you called the shooter
two days before she was murdered.
2VILE
Fine. Yeh, I called Eddie cause he *
hooks me up sometimes. He met
Delilah through me. When we were
together. Whatever. Dont make me a
killer, do it? *
CHLOE
No. But it does make you a suspect. *
2VILE
(scoffs)
What? So, everyone on Eddie's
phones a suspect? You joking?! *
Welcome to Celebrity Name Game. You
gonna drag half a Hollywood
downtown? Be like the Oscars.
CREW 1
Wait. Arent you that chick from
that film?
LUCIFER

Whats this? What film?
CREW 1
You used to be an actress or
something, right? That teen
movie... I forget what its
called...
Chloe tries to hide it, but shes literally dying right now.
And Lucifer sees it.
LUCIFER
Of course! Hot Tub High School!
Thats where I know you from!
CHLOE
(dodging, back to 2Vile)
Lets stick to my questions, shall
we?

LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 26.

LUCIFER
The one with that famous nude
scene! Coming out of the hot tub.
It was a complete Fast Times rip-
off, but you were like, the new *
Phoebe Cates. That was quite a nude
scene--
CHLOE
(gun in hand)
Ive got way too many bullets in
here for you to still be talking.
CHLOE (CONTD)
Come on. Youre under arrest.
LUCIFER
Thats a waste of time, Detective.
Ive just threatened his life, hes
not our guy -- he wouldve said.
Trust me.
CHLOE
You did what?
2VILE
Yeah, isnt that illegal?
CHLOE
Uh, little bit, yes. Okay then, *
you. Come with me.
LUCIFER
Ooh. With pleasure.
A smug smile doesnt leave his lips as Chloe yanks him out. *
Chloe leads Lucifer out in cuffs... opens the back car door.
LUCIFER
At least perhaps now youll listen *
to me. Although not sure I *
understand why Im being arrested. *
CHLOE
Because youre interfering with a
police investigation.

CHLOE (CONT'D)
Youve broken, I cant even count
how many laws. And you piss me off.
LUCIFER
I can get out of these, you know.
CHLOE
Funny.
CHLOE (CONTD) *
Howd you do that? You a magician *
or something? *
LUCIFER
Youre still wasting time. We
should be out there solving a
homicide and punishing those
responsible!
CHLOE
We? Are you insane? Get in the car.
Im taking you in.
LUCIFER
But thats boring! Not to mention *
pointless. Come on, Ill help you,
itll be fun!
CHLOE
How could you possibly help me?
LUCIFER
Youd be surprised. I have a
certain skill set. I can be very
persuasive with people. Tend to see
things others cannot. *
CHLOE
So you're a psychic? *
LUCIFER
No. I cant read peoples minds --
Im not a Jedi. People tell me
things.
CHLOE
Really? Just... confess their sins?
Just like that?
(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GRAY - 3/19/15 28.
17 CONTINUED: (2) 17
LUCIFER
No, not their sins. I have no power
over peoples sins. I actually get
a bad rap for that. But their *
desires, different thing entirely.
(off her skeptical look)
I have the ability to draw out
peoples forbidden desires. Tempt
them. Taunt them. The more simple
the human, the easier it is. The
more complex? The more challenging -
- and exciting, really. But your
actual sins? The sins are on you
people.
CHLOE
(sarcastically indulging) *
I get it. The name. The whole
Lucifer thing... and desires like,
your super power.
LUCIFER
More like a gift from God.
(off Chloes deadpan look)
Look, Im just a people person.
They feel compelled to share things
with me. And why wouldnt they,
really? Im pretty awesome.
CHLOE
Yeah? Prove it.
LUCIFER
That Im awesome? Isnt it obvious?
(fine, looks deeply at her)
Tell me, Detective. What do you
desire more than anything in this
life?
Chloe sighs. But then her eyes suddenly lock with his and she
is mesmerized...
CHLOE
I guess, when I was a little girl,
I always wanted to be a cop like my
daddy, so that one day, I could
help people...
(dropping an act)
...and make them shut up and get in
the damn car!

LUCIFER *
Wait. I know something you dont *
know. *
CHLOE *
Yeah? Whats that? *
LUCIFER *
Wont say. Unless you take me with *
you on this. Please? Come on, I got *
to 2VILE, didnt I? *
CHLOE *
Youre unbelievable. *
(squints at him) *
Huh. You dont strike me as a *
celebrity stalker. You arent *
related to her. You werent *
sleeping with her, were you--? *
LUCIFER *
Surprisingly, no. *
CHLOE *
Then why do you care about this so *
much? About Delilah? *
LUCIFER *
(rattled/tries to hide it) *
I... just do. *
CHLOE *
(this is a new side...) *
Fine. But if your little clue *
doesnt pan out-- *
(holds up the cuffs) *
Im puttin these back on, and *
theyre gonna stay on. *
ACT THREE
LUCIFER
Actually, she had a pseudonym.
Which I happen to know. Penny Lane.
CHLOE (CONTD)
What? Dont be so smug -- hasnt
panned out yet.
LUCIFER
No, thats not it... I knew I
recognized you.
CHLOE
Right. So you saw my boobs. Never heard
that one before.
LUCIFER
And your ass, dont forget. A thing
of beauty--
CHLOE
I will pull this car over and shoot
you.
LUCIFER
I told you. Im immortal.
(off her eye roll) *
Is the movie why you have such a
chip on your shoulder?
CHLOE
Trust me, thats low on the list of
things I have to live down.

CHLOE
Something like that.
LUCIFER
Who cares what the other pigs say?
Youre a kickass detective -- *
should listen to me a bit more
maybe but -- you know who you are. *
CHLOE
I know who I am. Theres just a lot
of people out there who have a
problem with it. Other cops mostly.
LUCIFER
Theyre threatened. Youre clearly *
smart and have notable instincts. *
Ignore them. Trust yourself. *
LUCIFER
What?
CHLOE
(reluctant, but...)
Looks like what you said stands up. *
Theres a Penny Lane who sees a Dr. *
Linda Martin. Address in Beverly *
Hills. *
LUCIFER
Excellent. Ill clear my schedule. *
LUCIFER
No. Absolutely not.
CHLOE
I have to get my kid from school.
She got into a fight.
LUCIFER
Cant she get herself home?
CHLOE
Shes seven.
LUCIFER
Im not here to help you run
errands. Im here to help you solve
a homicide.
Chloe just hits the gas, pinning him to the back seat.
CHLOE
Wait here.
LUCIFER
With pleasure. I despise children.
Chloe frowns, gets out, locks the car doors and heads into
the school. Lucifer stares at the car lock, it pops up and he
gets out to stretch, lights a cigarette when... A MILFY MOM
crosses his path and disappears into the school. Lucifer
likes what he sees. Decides to follow her in.
TRIXIE
I dont think youre allowed to
smoke in here.

Top secret.
TRIXIE
You know my mother?
LUCIFER
Unfortunately.
TRIXIE
Whats your name?
LUCIFER
Lucifer.
TRIXIE
(wide-eyed; hushed)

LUCIFER
(grins, pleased)
Exactly.
TRIXIE
My name is Beatrice. But everyone
calls me Trixie.
LUCIFER
Thats a hookers name.

Yes! She was bullying me. She created
a fake Snapchat account and used it
to make fun of me! So I kicked her in
the no-no-touch zone!
LUCIFER
I see. Well-played.
He gets up, walks over to MEAN GIRL and sits beside her.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Hello, Mean Girl. Did you know that
you will never amount to anything
in this life, and that theres a
special section of Hell reserved
for bullies. So, have fun!
CHLOE
Hello?! What'd you do?

CHLOE
Right, like Im not working a case

tried to steal from me?
DAN
You mean the open and shut one. You
did open and shut it, right?
LUCIFER *
Have you been going rogue, dear? *
Exciting. *
CHLOE
Im not going rogue. Im just being *
diligent. I need to get this right, *
Dan. Its a high profile case. *
DAN
Exactly. Which is why you need to
be smart about it-- *
LUCIFER
She is smart. Youre a dimwit. But
perhaps you should refrain from
arguing in front of the child. Its
unbecoming. Not to mention another
waste of my time. Which is far more
important. To me.
DAN
Whos this idiot? New boyfriend? I
thought we agreed not to--

Allow me to introduce myself. Im a
man who could make you see things

TRIXIE
Thanks, Mommy!

Daddyll tell you.
Dan nods his thanks, takes Trixie by the hand and walks off.

ACT FOUR *
LUCIFER *
Was your offspring planned or a *
mistake? *
CHLOE *
Excuse me? *
(off his you-heard-me look) *
Planned. Sort of. *
LUCIFER *
Hmm. Explain to me the human desire *
to procreate? Never understood it. *
Children are hideous little *
creatures. Terrible, taxing burdens. *
(off her look) *
Oh, your kids fine. I mean, nothing *
to crow about... but nothing to be *
too embarrassed about, either. *
CHLOE *
Are you at all aware of how dickish *
you sound? *
Lucifer locks eyes with her... trying to work his mojo again. *
LUCIFER *
Speaking of dicks -- why was that *
dumdum you were married to *
pressuring you to close the case? *
CHLOE *
No reason. *
LUCIFER *
(frowns, not used to this) *
Strange. *

Linda nods, but she cant take her eyes off Lucifer. He nods
and smiles, very understanding.
LUCIFER
Youre thinking about it, arent
you?
LINDA
What?
LUCIFER
Its not a good idea. Im like
walking heroin. Very habit-forming.
Never ends well.
CHLOE
Im sorry, do you two know each
other?
LUCIFER
No, but I know that look.
LINDA

LUCIFER
No, you see, thats just it... with
most women it does. I tend to
appeal to the dark, mischievous
heart within all of you. But you,
Detective -- you seem oddly immune
to my charms.
CHLOE
Referring to them as charms is a
stretch. Truth be told, I find you
repulsive. Like on a chemical
level. Seriously, youre gross. I
mean, you flat out give me the
heebie-jeebies.
LUCIFER
Fascinating.
LINDA
You say its fascinating. But I can *
see it disturbs you, doesnt it? *
Deeply.
Lucifer now turns to Linda. Huh. She just read him pretty
damn well. What-the-F is going on lately? Chloe plows on... *
CHLOE
Dr. Martin, we know Delilah was
having a clandestine affair with a
wealthy married man. Just tell us
his name and well be on our way.
LINDA
Im sorry, I cant do that.
LUCIFER
(aside to Chloe) *
Shes one of the complex ones.
(then leans in to Linda)
Linda... darling... tell me. *
LINDA
I cant. I want to!! But I cant!
Youre the devil!

The answer is yes. We can take a *
trip to pound town if we must. But *
you have to tell us, Linda. *
LINDA
(bursting)
Mmmmmmokay, its Grey Cooper.
CHLOE
Grey Cooper? Seriously? That is
pretty juicy.
LUCIFER
(disgusted)
The actor? The one married to Amanda
Whats-her-face? Oh, hes horrible.
So square-jawed and handsome. So
vanilla. Im really quite *
disappointed in Delilah. Truly
terrible taste in the opposite sex.
CHLOE
Thank you doctor, well be in touch.
(to Lucifer)
Lets go.
LUCIFER
Of course, but I made a deal. I need
to hold up my end of the bargain.
CHLOE
(incredulous) *
Youre not actually talking about *

GREY COOPER *
God, Delilah, yeah... heard about *

it. We did a movie together last *
year. Got pretty close. *

Lovers?
GREY COOPER
Friends.
LUCIFER
Friends who were lovers?
CHLOE *
Settle down. Ill handle the
questions, thank you.

Mr. Cooper, when did you last have *
contact with Delilah? *
LUCIFER
Sorry, I just have one more
question before you proceed with
the boring ones--
(turns to a confused Grey)
What do you want more than
anything, Mr. Cooper? What is your
deepest, darkest desire? When you

GREY COOPER
I'm the President of the United

GREY COOPER
No... I wouldnt. *
CHLOE
Better to pull the skeletons out
now... publics very forgetful. *

More importantly, why would you
want to be a politician? I mean you
get to make movies? Isnt that more *
fun? Not that I like yours much. *
GREY COOPER *
Is there a point to this? *
CHLOE *
Mr. Cooper, were you having an *

LUCIFER (CONTD)
Wait here a second...
JIMMY BARNES
Please. Dont kill me.
LUCIFER
Youre going to wish that was all I
did to you.
LUCIFER
Well, look whos back.
CHLOE
(groggy)
How long have I been out?
LUCIFER
Three years.
CHLOE
What?!
CHLOE (CONTD)
Youre such an ass.
(then, remembering)
He was firing at you. Why are you
not more... dead?

LUCIFER
You're having a very hard time with
the immortal thing, aren't you?
CHLOE *
(struggling to make sense) *
Mustve been delirious from the *
blood loss. *
LUCIFER *
Whatever helps you sleep, my dear. *
CHLOE *
What happened to Jimmy?
LUCIFER
He got what he deserved.
CHLOE
Well, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead
if you hadnt helped me. So, thank
you.
LUCIFER
I'm sorry. I missed that last part.
CHLOE
(slightly annoyed smile)
Thank you. *
LUCIFER *
You're welcome.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Besides, you're far too interesting
to let die.
CHLOE
You saved my life because you find
me... interesting?
LUCIFER
Wildly irritating as well, but yes. *
CHLOE *
So now what? *

LUCIFER
Well, obviously Ive proven myself
as an invaluable crime-fighting
tool. Youre a pariah in the
department. I think this is the
beginning of a beautiful friendship,
dont you?
CHLOE
Who the hell are you?
LUCIFER
I told you. Im --
TRIXIE (O.S.)
Lucifer!
LUCIFER
Now, now. Thats enough, child.
Save some of this unpleasantness
for your mother.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
I think shes one hell of a
homicide detective, dont you?
DAN
Yes. She is.
(to Chloe)
Im happy for you.
CHLOE
Not sure you are, or just relieved
I didnt cause problems again.
DAN
Im trying to compliment you.
CHLOE
Okay... Ill take it... thanks. And *
how bout the department... They *
happy for me? *
DAN
Gettin there. *
(not)
You need to be more careful. You
shouldve had backup.

LUCIFER
She had back up.
DAN
Thank you. For helping her.
LUCIFER
Thats hard for you, isnt it? Not
to be a douche.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Id stay for the family reunion,
but its giving me IBS. Look
forward to seeing you soon, Chloe--
CHLOE
--I dont--
LUCIFER
--Bye now. Glad youre not dead.
Lucifer pulls up. Gets out, handing his keys to the VALET who
greets him with a smile and says... Nothing. Because he has
just slipped into SLOW MOTION. Lucifer sighs.
LUCIFER
Damnit.
LUCIFER (CONTD)
What do you want from me?
AMENADIEL
Ive been watching you, Lucifer.
LUCIFER
Perv.

AMENADIEL
And Im not sure I like what I see.
Youre showing restraint. Mercy.
LUCIFER
Scared Im turning away from the
Dark Side, bro? Gonna give you a
little competition for Dads fav?
Dont worry, Im not.
AMENADIEL
I dont believe you. The human *
world can be even more painful than *
hell, Lucifer. Stay here, and *
prepare to feel things you have *
never felt before. *
LUCIFER
(stone cold serious now)
Do not threaten me, Amenadiel. You *
wont win.
AMENADIEL
(flash of anger) *
Then go BACK!! *
LUCIFER
(realizing... pleased) *
Youre the one whos threatened. *
AMENADIEL
My hatred of you grows stronger
with each visit.
LUCIFER
Wouldnt have it any other way,
pal. Look forward to eating your
heart one day. Peace.
LUCIFER
I sense your disapproval, Maze.
What is it?

would save a human life.

LUCIFER
Theres something different about
her. Something I cant figure out.
And it vexes me.
MAZE
Maybe its not her thats
different.
LUCIFER
Is this where I ask: whatever do
you mean?
MAZE
Stop caring! Youre The Devil!
LUCIFER
Yes. I am...
Dr. Linda Martin sits when she notices a little red light
BLINKING above her door. Shes confused -- doesnt have an
appointment right now. She gets up, opens the door...
LUCIFER
Heres the deal. We can have as
much naked cuddle time as you
desire. But I need you to listen to
me too. I have a few things Id
like to discuss with you. An
existential dilemma or two. Deal?
Linda smiles. Deal. And as the door shuts behind them WE SMASH
TO BLACK and Van Halens Runnin with the Devil kicks in.
