ACT ONE

FADE IN:

1 EXT. CITY OF ANGELS - SUNSET BLVD - NIGHT (NIGHT ONE) 1 *

A jet-black vintage sports car sails down Sunset, cruising


through the adult Disneyland that is nighttime Los Angeles.
Neon and billboards reflected on the windshield. The Stones
Gimme Shelter blasting from the radio.

2 INT. LUCIFERS CAR - CONTINUOUS 2 *

The Devil himself. Say hello to LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR.

Hes good-looking, a man of considerable wealth and taste,


but thats not what makes him jump off the screen. Its his
vibe. Pure lusty mischief. Sardonic smile. Timeless style.

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.

But right now, Lucifers getting pulled over for speeding. A


motorcycle cop. Lucifer adjusts his mirror to see OFFICER
DIGGS approaching the car, he yells over the MUSIC.

OFFICER DIGGS
CAN YOU TURN DOWN THE MUSIC, SIR?!

Lucifer TURNS DOWN THE VOLUME.

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 - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 2.
2 CONTINUED: 2
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?

Diggs smiles. Chuckles. Yes...it...does. But then he catches


himself -- not sure why he just shared his secret desires
with a complete stranger.

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...

Lucifer fishes a hundred out of his wallet, proffers it...

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?

The officer nods. Its almost involuntary.

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...

The officer takes the money and puts it in his pocket.

OFFICER DIGGS
Okay, sir, you have a nice evening.

LUCIFER
You too, Officer.

Officer Diggs walks away. Lucifer readjusts his mirror, but


this time we see a flash of something strange; a glimpse of
Lucifer's true reflection; almost too fast to even
comprehend, but enough to unsettle us as --

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 4.
2 CONTINUED: (3) 2

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

TITLE CARD: LUCIFER

3 EXT. LUX - STREET - NIGHT 3

Lucifer pulls up in front of his bar, Lux. It doesnt look


like much from the outside, but theres a long line of
HOLLYWOOD HIPSTERS dying to get in.

4 INT. LUX - CONTINUOUS 4

A little bit of Hell on earth. A living, breathing tribute to


Lucifers favorite things -- wine, women and song. Lucifer
glides through... soaking up the sights and sounds of elegant
debauchery like a proud, modern-day Gatsby.

His eyes land on the exotic, dark-haired beauty tending bar


over yonder. MAZIKEEN. But shes always been just MAZE to
Lucifer. She leans seductively with her back against the bar,
doesnt turn around as Lucifer approaches... speaks to him
via a mirror...

MAZE
Whereve you been?

LUCIFER
Holed up at the Chateau. Copulating
with a woman named Faith. Ironic,
isnt it?

Maze shakes her head, disgusted. As she does, we catch an


unclear glimpse of her reflection in the bar mirror. A blur
of almost serpentine deformity. But it would be weird if Maze
was just your garden variety gal, wouldnt 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.
4 CONTINUED: 4

A young man suddenly rises from where hed been kneeling in


front of Maze. Lucifers eyebrows go up: didnt see that
comin. Maze grins at him:

MAZE (CONTD)
Thank you, Patrick. You can go.

She finally turns to face Lucifer, smiles and shrugs.

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 stares at him for a beat. Then senses something. As does


Lucifer. A ripple in the drink she just poured. Time slows.
Music and laughter become warped and haunted as everyone in
the club slows... except Lucifer and Maze, who share a look.

MAZE
I think you have a visitor.

Through the SLOW-MOTION crowd, Lucifer sees AMENADIEL. The


man is a study in grim intensity. Hes Lucifers brother AND
AN ANGEL. Yep, majestic wings and everything. But Amenadiels
also a badass. Last thing he radiates is angelic goodness.

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.

Lucifer slides over a drink, which Amenadiel ignores.

AMENADIEL
(takin in Lux)
Youve become quite ensconced with
this little hobby of yours...
(off Lucifers nod of thanks)
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GRAY - 3/19/15 6.
4 CONTINUED: (2) 4
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?

Amenadiel just stares at him... grim, not amused.

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.
4 CONTINUED: (3) 4

More staring from Amenadiel. Lucifer downs his brothers


drink, then locks eyes with Amenadiel... cold as ice now... *

LUCIFER (CONTD)
(pointed)
Tell Father, Im not. Going. Back.
(a slight smile)
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 7.
4 CONTINUED: (3) 4
LUCIFER (CONTD)
Consider the position officially
open. So you, my feathered friend,
can go to hell.

In a blink, Amenadiel's wing-tip is at Lucifer's throat.


Ancient steel fused at its tips. Lucifers glass falls,
shatters... but he doesn't flinch.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
Go for it. You think Father's upset
now...

Amenadiel wants to kill him. Badly. But Lucifer knows his


Father won't let him die, at least he's willing to test it.

AMENADIEL
He has been patient five years. He
will not be merciful much longer.

Threat planted, Amenadiel withdraws, and exits... and the


club now slips back into regular motion. Lucifer only now
deflates. Amenadiel clearly rattles him.

5 EXT. LUX - STREET - NIGHT 5

Lucifer stands outside, spinning A COIN in his hand, still


thinking about his conversation with Amenadiel... when A TAXI *
slows to a stop in front of Lux. The rear window rolls down.
A beautiful, hot mess appears. This is DELILAH.

Delilah is a fallen-from-grace pop star. The crowd waiting in


line reacts like crowds do when confronted with a super
famous person, tragic or not. Oohs and ahhs and iPhones
galore. But Delilah only has eyes for Lucifer.

DELILAH
Remember me...?

Lucifer smiles... of course he does, but teases...

LUCIFER
Yes... youre famous. Delilah,
isnt it? Can I have your
autograph?

DELILAH
If I can have a drink.

6 INT. LUX - NIGHT 6

Lucifer and Delilah sit at a booth. Maze hovers in the BG.

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.

Off Delilah, a glimmer of hope in her eyes...

7 OMIT 7

8 EXT. LUX - STREET - NIGHT 8

Lucifer and Delilah walk out... saying goodbye...

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.

She nods. Smiles. Pulls him into an intense hug. Theyre


still hugging when a piece-a-shit car slows to a stop in
front of Lux...

SHOTS rings out -- Lucifer and Delilah are RIDDLED WITH


BULLETS. As they both go down in a heap, the car SCREECHES
off. But without warning the shooters car is VICIOUSLY
BROADSIDED by a CITY BUS. A beat as everything settles. Then--

AN UNHOLY GROAN from Lucifer as he rises to a sitting


position. His clothes are torn with SMOKING holes. He rips
his shirt open. No blood. No entry wounds. Just pain. A lot
of fucking pain. He slowly climbs to his feet. Goes over to
Delilah, beautiful in peaceful repose. And very much dead.

Lucifers face tightens with pain. He looks down the street. *


Zeroes in on the wreckage and stalks over to it.

(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?

The shooter coughs up a final geyser of BLOOD and dies.


Lucifer walks back over to Delilah. He stands there, staring
down at her... with something in his eyes. Is it loss? Which
is when we realize that were watching Lucifer from SOMEONE
ELSES POV...

9 EXT. LUX - STREET - CONTINUOUS 9 *

FIND Amenadiel in the shadows, a SLOW-MOTION ballet of


ONLOOKERS around him. As he glares at Lucifer ominously, we
wonder: is he observing this moment? Or did he cause it?

10 EXT. LUX - STREET - LATER - SAME NIGHT 10

Now a full-blown crime scene. Cherry tops spin. Police swarm.


CORONERs put Delilahs body in a bag and into the back of
their van as an UNMARKED COP CAR pulls up. Out hops LAPD
homicide detective CHLOE DANCER (30s). Beautiful, but
downplays it on purpose. Shes smart, cold and direct.

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.
10 CONTINUED: 10

CHLOE
Can I help you?

UNIFORM #1
Nah... just talkin about some of
our favorite movies.

Another plain-clothed detective walks up from the other


direction. Hes DANIEL ESPINOZA (40ish) gruff, alpha dog.

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--

Holds up an evidence bag with little packets of HEROIN


stamped with BOOM and a picture of a bomb.

DAN (CONTD)
--And this in Delilahs purse.

Holds up another evidence bag with ONE packet -- same stamp.

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?

11 INT. LUX - NIGHT 11

...where Chloe is now questioning Lucifer. Lucifers


distracted. His swirling emotions over Delilahs death are
disorienting him. Maze hovers nearby.

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? *

Chloes almost amused -- got a real live one here. *

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 takes that in. Shes heard enough. Shuts it down.

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 studies him. Not sure if hes a prick... a lunatic or *


something more... *

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?

Nope. Just a prick. *

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.

And shes out. OFF LUCIFER, frustrated.

END OF ACT ONE


LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 16.

ACT TWO

12 INT. LUX - LATER THAT NIGHT 12

Lucifer plays piano, fingers flying, an intense version of


Bowies Lady Stardust. Suddenly he SMASHES the keys in a
burst of atonal fury, his gaze fixed on something ahead...
It's his reflection in the mirrored fireplace. That
disturbing face again. We catch just a hint of it before --

He gets up and HURLS a lamp at the mirror, SMASHING it to *


pieces. Maze enters. Surveys the damage. Says nothing. Which
only serves to infuriate Lucifer even more.

Throughout this scene, the hint of Lucifer's darker side


will be reflected in the shattered mirror behind Maze. We
will never fully see it. But it's enough to make us uneasy.

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 studies him, a mix of concern, disdain and astonishment.

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 steps in closer -- as does his reflection in the


shattered mirror behind her.

LUCIFER
I dont mind the occasional
smartass remarks, Maze. They can be
amusing, but dont disrespect me.

But instead of retreating, Maze steps closer too... slides


her hands around Lucifers neck seductively.

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 cracks a smile, playing it off now with sarcasm.

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 smiles, leans in... her lips inches from his.

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...

13 EXT. MALIBU COASTLINE - DAY (DAY 2) 13 *

Gliding over the beautiful Oceanside, we pick up Lucifers


car as it speeds down the ribbon of highway that is the PCH.

14 EXT. MALIBU - WEDDING SITE - DAY 14

Wedding in progress. A short, sweaty music mogul named JIMMY


BARNES is about to wed a stunning, statuesque SUPERMODEL
BRIDE.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 18.
14 CONTINUED: 14

Surrounded by FAMILY and FRENEMIES, its a whole big ta-do.


The PRIEST has just arrived at the part where he says:

PRIEST
Speak now or forever hold your
peace...

A VOICE BOOMS:

LUCIFER
Excuse me!

And Lucifer comes strolling down the aisle...

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?

Reactions from the GUESTS as Lucifer arrives at the altar.


The Priest crosses himself, starts mumbling some prayers.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
(chuckles)
Good luck with that, padre. While
youre at it, tell him I say hey --
its been awhile.

He turns his attention to the groom, whos sweating yet


desperately clinging to some semblance of cool.

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.

Jimmy looks around for help, but no ones stepping up.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
Do you remember me?

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 19.
14 CONTINUED: (2) 14

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 averts his eyes.

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.

He gestures at his beautiful BRIDE-TO-BE. Lucifer gives her


an appreciative glance.

LUCIFER
Clearly. Respect.

JIMMY BARNES
You should go play your games with
2Vile.

LUCIFER
The rapper?

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 20.
14 CONTINUED: (3) 14

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.

The information satisfies Lucifer, but his thirst for


taunting not quite met... Turns his attention to the bride.

LUCIFER
Im sorry, how rude of me. Allow me *
to introduce myself...

He extends a hand. She takes it, oddly charmed. Stares at him


for a beat, feels a sudden, overwhelming urge to confess her
inner desires... or lack there of...

SUPERMODEL BRIDE
I really dont want to have sex
with him tonight.
(to Jimmy)
Im sorry, I didnt mean that!

Jimmy is dumbstruck. So is she.

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 turns and walks off down the aisle... a figurative


mushroom cloud in his wake.

15 EXT. 2VILES PLACE - HOLLYWOOD HILLS - DAY 15

Lucifer cruises up the drive of a pimped-out palace that


could easily have its own very special episode of MTV Cribs.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 21.
15 CONTINUED: 15

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.

16 INT. 2VILES PLACE - DAY - MOMENTS LATER 16

Lucifer follows the Butler into the den. Furniture from MOMA.
Killer city views. The ultimate in tacky Hollywood living.

2VILES CREWs scattered all over the place. Hip-hop


thumping. Theres tons of weed, weapons -- its a real scene.
An immensely expensive PLASMA TV in the background plays NEWS
on Delilahs death. The hot headline.

LUCIFER
Can someone please turn down this
godawful music?!

Tattooed hip-hop thug 2VILE appears through a thick haze of


POT SMOKE.

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.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 22.
16 CONTINUED: 16

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. *

That ignites Lucifer. He violently SHOVES 2VILE, sending him


SHATTERING THROUGH A GLASS DOOR, toppling over the balcony to
certain death just as Lucifer grabs him by his blinged-out
chains. Suspending him high above the hillside.

2VILE'S CREW react. One FIRES on impulse, bullet PINGING off


the balcony.

2VILE (CONTD)
DONT SHOOT HIM, YOU IDIOT!

Crew freezes. Nothing they can do. If Lucifer goes down.


2Vile goes down further. 2Vile looks up at the face of death.

2VILE (CONTD)
I didn't kill her!

LUCIFER
Why should I believe you?

2VILE
Because I loved the bitch!

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 23.
16 CONTINUED: (2) 16

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!

And there it is... another piece to the puzzle. Lucifer lifts


2Vile back onto the balcony. He's a mess.

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 just stares at Lucifer. Confused. Lost. Then...

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.

2Vile breaks down in tears. His CREW IS HORRIFIED.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 24.
16 CONTINUED: (3) 16

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.

Lucifer starts to make his exit. But someone else is making


an entrance...

CHLOE (O.S.)
Guns down! On the floor! Down! *

Lucifer turns to see Chloe coming through the door with an


ashamed butler in tow. Her gun out. Crew lays their guns on *
the floor. Lucifer grins. Amused... and curious... *

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. *

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 25.
16 CONTINUED: (4) 16

She throws a shut-the-fuck-up look to Lucifer, plows on...

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.

Point noted, but Chloe reaches for her cuffs... Meanwhile, *


the celebrity comment has triggered ONE OF 2VILE'S CREW to
suddenly recognize Chloe... and completely break the
moment...

CREW 1
Wait. Arent you that chick from
that film?

LUCIFER
(perks up)
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?

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 26.
16 CONTINUED: (5) 16

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.

She swaps her gun for handcuffs, turns back to 2Vile...

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.

Chloe slaps the cuffs on Lucifer instead.

LUCIFER
Ooh. With pleasure.

A smug smile doesnt leave his lips as Chloe yanks him out. *

17 EXT. 2VILES PLACE - MINUTES LATER - DAY 17

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.

LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 27.

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.

Lucifer does some Houdini-esque wriggling behind his back and


hands her the cuffs. Chloe examines the cuffs, confused. *

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!

Ouch. Lucifer blinks. Hes been played. His powers useless on


her. She motions for him to get in. Lucifer studies her.
Both disturbed and fascinated by her.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 29.
17 CONTINUED: (3) 17

LUCIFER
Youre not like a Jedi or
something, are you?

CHLOE *
Get in. The 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. *

Lucifer cracks a smile, nods. She gets in the car and he *


follows. BOTH OF THEM growing more and more intrigued with *
the other... *

ACT THREE

18 INT. CHLOES POLICE CAR - DRIVING - DAY 18

Lucifers in the backseat. Chloe drives, on the phone.

CHLOE (ON PHONE)


Yeah, therapist in Beverly Hills
with first name Linda. See if
Delilah was a client--

LUCIFER
Actually, she had a pseudonym.
Which I happen to know. Penny Lane.

CHLOE (ON PHONE)


Delilah couldve gone by Penny
Lane... Okay, thanks.

She hangs up. A beat of silence as he stares at her,


grinning... making her uncomfortable.

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.

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.

Right. Attractive female cop
struggling to be taken seriously in

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. *

This man continues to surprise her... which also annoys her. *


Her cell goes off... saved by the ring... *

CHLOE (ON PHONE)


Detective Dancer... Really? Okay, *
text it to me. Thanks. *

She hangs up. Huh.

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. *

Chloe shakes her head. Although, something about this madness *


makes sense. Another call interrupts, thank God.

Yeah... What? Youre kidding me. Is *
she okay?... Her father was *

CHLOE

She got into a fight.

LUCIFER
Cant she get herself home?

CHLOE
Shes seven.

LUCIFER
Im not here to help you run

Chloe just hits the gas, pinning him to the back seat.

19 EXT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - STREET - DAY 19

Chloe pulls up in front.

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.

20 INT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - DAY 20

Lucifer looks around, but the Milfy Woman has disappeared.


Lucifer frowns, sits down in the lobby -- LIT CIGARETTE STILL
IN HAND -- next to a precocious little thing named BEATRICE.

TRIXIE
I dont think youre allowed to
smoke in here.

Oh dear, what will become of me?

I think I might know your mother.
Were working together. On a case.
Top secret.

TRIXIE
You know my mother?

LUCIFER
Unfortunately.

TRIXIE
Whats your name?

LUCIFER
Lucifer.

TRIXIE
(wide-eyed; hushed)
Like the devil?!

LUCIFER

Exactly.

TRIXIE
My name is Beatrice. But everyone
calls me Trixie.

LUCIFER
Thats a hookers name.

TRIXIE
Whats a hooker?

LUCIFER

Why are you in trouble?

TRIXIE

She nods at a MEAN GIRL sitting across the way.

LUCIFER
The ugly one?

TRIXIE
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 pauses. Trixie points to his crotch. Lucifer nods.

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!

Lucifer's eyes peel open, revealing a flash of horrid ones


beneath. Mean Girl bursts into tears. And as she does, she
suddenly slows. In fact everything around her slows...

Lucifers grin fades. We now know what this means. Amenadiel


is near. Lucifer stands, looks down to the far end of the
hallway. Children pass in SURREAL MOTION, a shadow looming
beyond them, when suddenly...

A distorted voice calls out to Lucifer from behind. He turns.


IT'S CHLOE.

CHLOE
Hello?! What'd you do?

Everything has slipped back to NORMAL SPEED. The kids in the


hall, Trixie and crying Mean Girl. Lucifer recovers quickly.

LUCIFER
I think someones feeling a little
guilty. Isnt that right, child?

More tears from Meanie. A smile from Trixie. Off Chloe: WTF? *

21 EXT. ELEMENTARY SCHOOL - STREET - DAY 21

Lucifer, Chloe and Trixie walk out as DAN ESPINOZA arrives.

Wow. Shocker. Youre late.

DAN
Gimme a break, Im putting a case

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?

Off Chloes silence -- clearly, thats a no. *

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 clocks Trixie sticking her fingers in her ears.

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.

A moment. Dan looks at Chloe.

DAN
Whos this idiot? New boyfriend? I
thought we agreed not to--

Lucifer grabs Dan in a firm handshake. Gets up close, says:

LUCIFER
Allow me to introduce myself. Im a
man who could make you see things
that would drive you blind. Or pull
your spine out through your mouth.

Gimme a kiss, Trixella! Mommy loves

standing up to the mean girl!

TRIXIE
Thanks, Mommy!

Whats a hooker?

CHLOE
Daddyll tell you.

Dan nods his thanks, takes Trixie by the hand and walks off.
Trixie turns back.

TRIXIE
Bye, Lucifer! Nice to meet you!

Lucifer says nothing. Just frowns. But its yet another


surprise for Chloe.

CHLOE
I think she likes you.

Of course she does. Whats not to *

CHLOE *
Excuse me? *

Planned. Sort of. *

LUCIFER *
Hmm. Explain to me the human desire *

Children are hideous little *
creatures. Terrible, taxing burdens. *

Oh, your kids fine. I mean, nothing *

Chloe just stares at him for a beat, dumbfounded. *

Id like to ask you a few questions
about Delilah...

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
(trying to snap out of it)
I dont know what youre talking
about.

LUCIFER
(turns to Chloe)
Its interesting because you dont
look at me that way.

CHLOE
What way?

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GRAY - 3/19/15 38A.
22 CONTINUED: 22

LUCIFER
With carnal fascination.

CHLOE
Thats because it doesnt exist.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 39.
22 CONTINUED: 22

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!

LUCIFER
Correct. Now... tell me, Dr.
Martin. I know you want to...

LINDA
(really struggling)
Oh, darn... its really juicy, too.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 40.
22 CONTINUED: (2) 22

CHLOE
(flummoxed) *
Did you ruffie her? This is *
unbelievable.

LUCIFER
Its not her fault. Shes just
reacting to me. Watch and learn.
(back to Linda)
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 *
having sex with her?? Now? *

Lucifer looks at Chloe. Shes right. This can wait. He looks


at Linda, who smiles languidly, shifts in her seat...

LINDA
I do a lot of yoga. I am freakishly
flexible... wanna see?
(then)
Wow, really tried to keep that in.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 41.
22 CONTINUED: (4) 22

LUCIFER
(gets up)
You tried. Thats what matters.
(then)
I do apologize, but Im going to
have to take a rain check. I will
be back.

LINDA
I certainly hope so.

LUCIFER
My word is my bond.

Chloe shakes her head, beyond stymied, following Lucifer out.

23 EXT. DOWNTOWN - INDUSTRIAL AREA - DAY 23

Lucifer walks with purpose down a dingy street, pushing his


way past a GROUP OF ONLOOKERS crowded behind a barrier. As he
starts to pass, a feeble TRAFFIC COP tries to stop him.

TRAFFIC COP
Sir. Uh. You have to stay behind
the barricade--

Lucifer ignores him, stepping casually past the barricade


when suddenly, a MUSCLE CAR comes SPEEDING around the corner.
Pursued by TWO COP CARS. Lights. Sirens. And GUNFIRE!

Muscle cars tire BLOWS. Car FLIPS. And CRASH-SLIDES right


towards Lucifer, who doesn't move as it skids to a halt
inches from him. When we HEAR...

24 EXT. DOWNTOWN - INDUSTRIAL AREA - CONTINUOUS 24

A.D.(O.S)
WHO THE FU(air-horn) IS THIS GUY?!

TRANSITION TO: this same moment over A VIDEO MONITOR... where


a pissed-off A.D. storms out from behind it. Were on a film
set. And Lucifer has just fucked up the big shot. Chloe
hurries in behind him, couple UNIFORMS in her wake. She
flashes her badge.

CHLOE
He's with me! Sorry.

Lucifer eyes the STUNT ACTOR being helped out of the *


overturned car. He's square-jawed, handsome, and vanilla.
But...

LUCIFER
You're not Grey Cooper.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 42.
24 CONTINUED: 24

A.D.
No! Of course not! What the hell is
this?

CHLOE
We need to speak with Grey Cooper.

25 EXT. DOWNTOWN STREET - DIFFERENT AREA - MOMENTS LATER 25

Lucifer and Chloe now with the real GREY COOPER... same cuts *
and bruises as the stunt guy. The uniforms stand by. *

GREY COOPER *
God, Delilah, yeah... heard about *
that this morning. Cant believe *
it. We did a movie together last *
year. Got pretty close. *

LUCIFER
Lovers?

GREY COOPER
Friends.

LUCIFER
Friends who were lovers?

Grey frowns. Who is this asshole? Chloe gives Lucifer a look. *

CHLOE *
Settle down. Ill handle the
questions, thank you.
(to Grey) *
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
close your eyes what do you see?

Chloe rolls her eyes. Here we go.

GREY COOPER
I'm the President of the United
States.

LUCIFER
Ha! Whos the devil now?

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 43.
25 CONTINUED: 25

Grey frowns -- confused by his bold admission. Lucifer looks *


to Chloe: Impressed? She is. Slightly. Chloe takes the baton. *

CHLOE
Those are some pretty big
aspirations there, Mr. Cooper.

GREY COOPER
(embarrassed/plays casual) *
Well. After the acting and, stuff--

CHLOE
Oh, dont be embarrassed. Hell, if *
Arnold can do it, right? But ya *
know, you wouldnt want any nasty *
secrets screwin that up, would you? *

GREY COOPER
No... I wouldnt. *

CHLOE
Better to pull the skeletons out
now... publics very forgetful. *

LUCIFER
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. *

A BLACK SUV rolls up behind them... *

GREY COOPER *
Is there a point to this? *

CHLOE *
Mr. Cooper, were you having an *
affair with Delilah? *

His mouth drops open... at a loss... when: *

AMANDA *
Honey, have you been getting my *
texts? I thought you were breaking *
for lunch like a half-hour ago-- *

AMANDA BELLO, a famous actress in her own right, walks up


behind Grey. Clocks Lucifer, Chloe and the weird vibe.

AMANDA (CONTD)
Whats going on?

GREY COOPER
These people are detectives.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 44.
25 CONTINUED: (2) 25

AMANDA *
(confused)
Real ones?

CHLOE
Yes, maam. Well, I am.

LUCIFER
(takes in Amanda)
Youre really quite striking in
person. Luminous, actually.

AMANDA
Thank you!

LUCIFER
Interesting... Ive never been very
fond of you on the big screen.

AMANDA
Thank you...?

LUCIFER *
Im sorry, Lucifer... Morningstar. *

They shake hands. Lock eyes. The LUCIFER EFFECT gearing up...

AMANDA
Wow. Great name. Whats this about?

CHLOE
We had some questions. About Delilah.

Amanda lets go of Lucifer, nods to Chloe in that heartfelt way.

AMANDA
Oh. Yes. Thats so sad.

GREY COOPER
Yeah... very... sad... *

Grey wipes his brow... sweating nervously. As he does, Chloe *


zeroes in on a watch on his wrist -- IDENTICAL TO EDDIES. *

CHLOE *
Your watch. Whered you get it? *

GREY COOPER *
Oh... um, its a prop... *

AMANDA *
(casual but knows something) *
No, thats the one Delilah gave you, *
isnt it? For Time Will Tell. *

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 45.
25 CONTINUED: (3) 25

GREY COOPER *
(chuckles uncomfortably) *
Oh, right. Thats the movie we did. *
It was a... wrap gift. *

CHLOE *
She give a ten thousand dollar *
watch to the whole crew? *

GREY COOPER *
Oh, no. Just me. Far as I know. *
Cause we were... ya know, co-stars *
and everything. *

LUCIFER *
(locks eyes with Grey again) *
Gonna have to lie better than that *
if you wanna be president. *

GREY COOPER *
(devilish aside) *
I know, right? *

LUCIFER *
So you were sleeping with her then? *

GREY COOPER *
Oh, yeah. *

AMANDA *
Uh, I can hear you, Grey. *

CHLOE *
So can I. *

GREY COOPER *
(still whispers to Lucifer) *
Crap. I just said that out loud, *
didnt I? In front of people. *
Police people. And my wife. *

AMANDA *
Whatever. Not like I didnt know, *
Grey. Youre a terrible liar. And *
actor, by the way. *

GREY COOPER *
You knew? *

AMANDA *
Of course. Why do you think Ive *
been sleeping with Bobby? *

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 46.
25 CONTINUED: (4) 25

Grey throws a shocked look over to his bodyguard, BOBBY, who *


about chokes on his own tongue. *

AMANDA (CONTD) *
And lemme tell you, its gooood. I *
climb that man like a tree. *

GREY COOPER *
Are you serious?! My bodyguard?! *
What a clich! *

AMANDA *
Oh, Im a clich?! Well, youre a *
dick. *

Greys not sure where to direct his anger. So he attacks


Bobby. Amanda tries separate them. Lucifer and Chloe watch
the clusterfuck for a sec, then Chloe nods at the uniforms.

CHLOE
Arrest them.
(turns to Lucifer)
One of ems gotta be guilty.

LUCIFER
Now that was fun.

Chloe cant help but crack the slightest smug smile. As this
time... they watch the chaos they BOTH created. *

END OF ACT FOUR


LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 47.

ACT FIVE

26 EXT. LUX - STREET - NIGHT (NIGHT 2) 26

A VIGIL honoring Delilah on the sidewalk. Candles and letters


around a small TV playing one of Delilahs performances.

27 INT. LUX - NIGHT 27

Chloes got a beer in one hand, cell in the other -- smug *


smile gone. Lucifer sips a scotch, spinning THAT COIN. Maze *
stands a few yards away, watching disapprovingly.

CHLOE (ON PHONE) *


I know. Check again. What about *
their assistants phones, *
nannies?... Fan pages? Twitter? *
(sighs, listens) *
Okay... Call if anything changes. *
(hangs up, slugs her beer) *
Grey and Amanda have zero *
connection to the shooter or the *
driver. Maybe the shooter wasnt *
working for anyone. Maybe this *
thing does start and end with him. *

LUCIFER
No. I dont believe it.

CHLOE
He did have the same watch as Grey.
Cant be a coincidence. Maybe *
Delilah gave it to him, too? Kind *
of her go-to gift. *

LUCIFER
But that would imply she was
sleeping with that maggot.

CHLOE
Let's see, Jimmy, 2VILE, Grey
Cooper... She was sleeping with
three other maggots. Not like she
had tremendous discretion.
(another gulp of beer) *
God... why am I here?

LUCIFER
Wrong deity, but that is the
eternal question, isnt it?

CHLOE
No. I mean, here. In a bar. With
you.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GREEN DRAFT - 3/13/15 48.
27 CONTINUED: 27

They look at each other. Lucifer serious now... *

LUCIFER
I dont know, Detective. Despite *
your proclaimed revulsion, you *
cant deny theres a connection *
between us. Tell me... what do you *
really want? *

CHLOE
(half-smiles, mocking him)
You mean, WHAT do I desire more
than anything in this life?

LUCIFER *
Yes. No tricks -- not that they
work with you, you freak. Tell me.
Im curious.

Lucifer finally seems genuine here. She loosens up. Maybe


its the beer... maybe not.

CHLOE
I suppose what I was saying before
wasnt all a lie... I do want to
help people... I dunno...

Lucifer frowns, more teasing than judging.

LUCIFER
Your purity repulses me. *

CHLOE
Well, your lack of it isnt wildly
attractive either.

A moment shared. They tip their drinks to each other. Touch. *

CHLOE (CONTD)
My father was a cop. A pretty great
one. My mother was an actress.
Pretty cheesy one. I tried the *
acting thing. Took my top off, not
exactly contributing to the
betterment of society.

LUCIFER
--disagree--

CHLOE
Anyway. Didnt like how it made me
feel about myself. So I quit.
Became a cop like my old man.
(MORE)

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 49.
27 CONTINUED: (2) 27
CHLOE (CONT'D)
Endured the staring and teasing
from the entire department. Til I *
became a detective and found a
whole new way to ostracize myself.

LUCIFER
Ah. The reason your ex-maggot was *
pressuring you to close this. *

CHLOE
Yeah. Few months ago, I saw a case *
differently than a lot of people in
the department -- including my ex.
Stuck my neck out ...backfired. Now
most of em hate me. And nobodyll
work with me.

LUCIFER
Im available. *

Chloe shakes her head, but cant help but smile. Maze *
interrupts to grab glasses, when a familiar MUSIC CUE plays -- *
a SONG CALLED TIME WILL TELL. ON THE BAR TV: NEWS COVERAGE *
showing the outpouring of support from Delilahs fans. A
REPORTER commenting on the recent rise of her album sales.

MAZE
(to Lucifer, bit spiteful)
Too bad your little protegs not
around to cash the check.

Chloes face goes slack -- light bulb moment.

CHLOE *
Oh wow. Delilah gave Grey a watch for *
the movie Time Will Tell. Get it? *

LUCIFER *
Very poetic. *

CHLOE *
She gave one to someone else, too. *
But not to the drug dealer... *

28 INT. RECORDING STUDIO - LATER THAT NIGHT 28

Late night session. A YOUNG BOY BAND recording. Tired mixers


at work. And... JIMMY, harping on a Justin Bieber-y kid. Door *
booms open. TECHS and MIXERS curse as Lucifer and Chloe
interrupt the session, making a bee-line for Jimmy.

JIMMY BARNES
Really?! Wasnt enough to destroy
my wedding, huh--

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 50.
28 CONTINUED: 28

CHLOE
Howre the album sales doing?

Jimmy winces at that one. Hides his fear. But not well.

JIMMY BARNES *
What album? *

CHLOE *
The soundtrack for Time Will Tell. *
That YOU produced... Whitney *
Houston reached the top 10 for
album sales after her death.
Michael Jackson hit the
stratosphere! Im not sure youll
achieve the same heights by having
Delilah killed, but thats still a *
buttload of royalty checks comin *
your way. Not a bad year for you.
Guess you need that cash, huh?
Which is why you had to pay the *
shooter with your watch. *

LUCIFER
The watch Delilah gave you. Now *
thats just sick, but then you are,
so...

Jimmys sweaty face turns red. Then. He does something


unexpected -- he GRABS one of the BAND BOYS as a shield and
whips out a fucking GUN! Chloes gun is out in a blink.

CHLOE
WHOA! Hey! Jimmy?!

The room freezes.

JIMMY BARNES
I made her! And she ruined me! She
humiliated me! She owes me!

Lucifer doesn't seem threatened by this escalation. Because


he isn't. He advances on Jimmy.

LUCIFER
Youre not God, Jimmy. You didnt
make her. But you did destroy her.
So Im going to punish you.

JIMMY BARNES *
Back off, you freak! I mean it! Im *
not going to prison for that bitch. *
NO chance. *

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 50A.

But Lucifer keeps approaching. Now Chloe has to jump in. *

CHLOE
Listen to him! Back off!

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - LAVENDER - 3/21/15 51.
28 CONTINUED: (3) 28

LUCIFER
Its fine. I told you. Im immortal.

Jimmys twitchy. Lucifer gets way too close and Jimmy SWINGS
his gun up to fire on Lucifer when BOOM, BOOM! Chloe gets off
two shots first. One hits a lamp. The other nails Jimmy. He *
drops to the ground. Dead. And here's the fun part... LUCIFER
IS PISSED.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!

CHLOE
(what?!)
He was going to kill you!

LUCIFER
No-no-no you just let him off too
easy! He needs to suffer! He needs
to pay! He needs to feel the pain,
not escape it!

CHLOE
(trying to understand him)
Well, dont worry. Im sure where
hes going the pain and
punishments coming...

LUCIFER
(sighs, irritated)
Actually, no. Its not. And why?
Because I am here, and--

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. All eyes were off Jimmy who is still
ticking and FIRES off three shots at Chloe. One LANDS. Chloe
goes down.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
No!

Chloe staggers. BLOOD coming up fast. Lucifer hurries to her


side. She looks up at him through clouded, murky eyes.

CHLOE
I dont want to die...

LUCIFER
I wont let you... My father will
just have to wait for you.

The moment is interrupted by more SHOTS from Jimmy. Lucifer


protects Chloe now -- using his own body as a shield. He
cringes. Fuck that hurts. WE see it, SHE doesnt.

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - CHERRY - 3/18/15 52.
28 CONTINUED: (3) 28

LUCIFER (CONTD)
Wait here a second...

Lucifer turns and WE STAY IN CHLOES POV -- her vision


blurred. Distorted. Shes catching only glimpses... but sees
Lucifer walk over... grab Jimmy by the neck and SLAM him up
against a nearby glass booth.

The glass cracks in a spiderweb... AND WE SEE Lucifers


broken, demonic face in the shattered glass behind Jimmy.

JIMMY BARNES
Please. Dont kill me.

Lucifer flips Jimmy around to see THAT HORRID, NIGHTMARISH


REFLECTION.

LUCIFER
Youre going to wish that was all I
did to you.

And then CHLOES VISION is lost to BLACK and we HEAR Jimmys


blood-curdling SCREAM over a moment in DARKNESS...

Which then gives way to a BRIGHT TUNNEL OF LIGHT... Oh, wait.


Its just a regular light. A HOSPITAL BED LIGHT...

29 INT. HOSPITAL - ROOM - DAY (DAY 3) 29 *

Chloe is coming to. She finds Lucifer hovering over her.


Looking more like an angel than a devil. Good lighting.

LUCIFER
Well, look whos back.

CHLOE
(groggy)
How long have I been out?

LUCIFER
Three years.

CHLOE
What?!

Lucifer smiles. The bastard just cant help himself.

CHLOE (CONTD)
Youre such an ass.
(then, remembering)
He was firing at you. Why are you
not more... dead?

You're having a very hard time with

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.

That hangs there. Another mystery Chloe will have to deal *


with later. She changes gears.

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, suddenly uncomfortable with the warm exchange:

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. *

Lucifer grins, but cant hide that theres more to it than *


that. Chloe studies him, frowns... either can she... *

CHLOE *
So now what? *

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - GRAY - 3/19/15 54.
29 CONTINUED: (2) 29

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!

Its Chloes daughter, Trixie. Ex-husband Dan in tow. Trixie


hugs Lucifer, which makes him hugely uncomfortable.

LUCIFER
Now, now. Thats enough, child.
Save some of this unpleasantness
for your mother.

Chloe glows at the sight of her daughter, tears up as Trixie


hugs her. Lucifer and Dan eye each other for a tense beat.

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. *

You need to be more careful. You

Lucifer jumps, defending himself...

LUCIFER
She had back up.

Dan looks at him. Right. As much as that challenges him, he


decides to keep it polite.

DAN
Thank you. For helping her.

Lucifer, on the other hand, doesnt keep it polite:

LUCIFER
Thats hard for you, isnt it? Not
to be a douche.

Dans mouth drops open, wants to slug him, but Lucifers


already halfway to the door.

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 leaves but looks back for a moment, curious as to why


he gives a good goddamn about any them. He frowns, troubled.

30 EXT. LUX - STREET - NIGHT (NIGHT 3) 30 *

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.

Close enough. Lucifer turns. Amenadiel watches from across


the street. They meet in the middle of slow-flowing traffic.

LUCIFER (CONTD)
What do you want from me?

AMENADIEL
Ive been watching you, Lucifer.

LUCIFER
Perv.

LUCIFER - Pilot - CHERRY - 3/18/15 56.

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.

Something flashes in Lucifers eyes -- something evil.

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.

Amenadiel turns and walks off. Lucifer watches him go...

31 INT. LUX - MOMENTS LATER 31

Lucifer drops down at the piano. Maze watches from a short


distance. What looks like A DAGGER spins on its point in the
palm of her hand. But before we get a good look, she stops
it... walks over to Lucifer... quiet.

LUCIFER
I sense your disapproval, Maze.
What is it?

(CONTINUED)
LUCIFER - Pilot - CHERRY - 3/18/15 56A.

Lucifer weighs this. Not sure himself. But plays it light...

LUCIFER
Theres something different about
her. Something I cant figure out.
And it vexes me.

Maze eyes him, her own concern brewing.

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...

But theres doubt in his eyes as he launches into an eerie


rendition of Gimme Shelter which continues over...

32 INT. THERAPISTS OFFICE/WAITING ROOM - DAY (DAY 4) 32 *

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...

Linda startles. Because Lucifer is standing right there.

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.
