1
00:00:24,149 --> 00:00:25,734
Hello, ladies.
2
00:00:26,501 --> 00:00:28,751
"Lady," singular.
3
00:00:28,753 --> 00:00:29,669
Where's your mother?
4
00:00:29,671 --> 00:00:31,086
I'm staying at my dad's tonight.
5
00:00:31,089 --> 00:00:32,255
But it's game night.
6
00:00:32,257 --> 00:00:34,455
The detective always
comes to game night.
7
00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:38,887
Came... to game night. Maybe
that's why she never texted me back.
8
00:00:38,889 --> 00:00:40,597
Parents. They're a mystery.
9
00:00:40,599 --> 00:00:42,390
Oh, well, I'll give you that.
10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:45,878
She didn't happen to mention
anything about being a gift,
11
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:47,352
did she? From God?
12
00:00:47,355 --> 00:00:48,897
'Cause if that's the stumbling block,
13
00:00:48,899 --> 00:00:51,107
it's really much less of
an issue than she thinks.
14
00:00:51,109 --> 00:00:52,400
Grown-up problems.
15
00:00:52,402 --> 00:00:53,735
Not interested.
16
00:00:53,737 --> 00:00:55,678
Also, who cares where my mom is?
17
00:00:55,681 --> 00:00:56,821
Well, me, for one.
18
00:00:56,823 --> 00:00:59,616
It's game night, and
Trixie's in the house.
19
00:00:59,618 --> 00:01:02,201
Well, I suppose we could play Monopoly.
20
00:01:02,203 --> 00:01:05,038
Nah. Monopoly's no fun
with just two people.
21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,956
Oh, fine. You've twisted my arm.
22
00:01:06,958 --> 00:01:10,001
Since it very well be
my last night on Earth,
23
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:11,254
let's go to the bar.
24
00:01:12,672 --> 00:01:14,822
My parents wouldn't like that.
25
00:01:14,825 --> 00:01:16,966
Wouldn't they? Sounds like
grown-up problems to me.
26
00:01:18,595 --> 00:01:20,637
You could tell me a story.
27
00:01:20,639 --> 00:01:22,472
Do I look like Mister Rogers?
28
00:01:22,474 --> 00:01:24,307
You don't have to make anything up.
29
00:01:24,309 --> 00:01:26,770
You could just tell me about...
30
00:01:27,979 --> 00:01:29,020
this dagger.
31
00:01:29,022 --> 00:01:30,396
Has it ever killed anyone?
32
00:01:30,398 --> 00:01:31,775
Not yet, no.
33
00:01:35,648 --> 00:01:36,819
Do these work?
34
00:01:36,821 --> 00:01:37,820
Uh...
35
00:01:37,822 --> 00:01:39,864
that depends on who you're asking.
36
00:01:39,866 --> 00:01:41,199
Well, what about this?
37
00:01:41,201 --> 00:01:43,493
What, the manicure? It's
just a simple buff and shine.
38
00:01:43,495 --> 00:01:45,664
Your ring. Tell me
the story of your ring.
39
00:01:46,373 --> 00:01:49,040
Unless you'd rather
talk about the handcuffs.
40
00:01:49,042 --> 00:01:51,305
Quite the negotiator, aren't we?
41
00:01:51,308 --> 00:01:52,837
Very well.
42
00:01:53,546 --> 00:01:54,923
For one night only...
43
00:01:55,882 --> 00:01:58,093
it's story time at the penthouse.
44
00:02:00,595 --> 00:02:01,970
Mm. Uh...
45
00:02:01,972 --> 00:02:04,430
My mom usually starts
with "Once upon a time."
46
00:02:04,432 --> 00:02:05,931
Does she?
47
00:02:05,934 --> 00:02:07,018
Right, well...
48
00:02:09,562 --> 00:02:10,981
Once upon a time,
49
00:02:11,690 --> 00:02:14,609
the Devil went to New York City.
50
00:02:15,777 --> 00:02:17,402
The year...
51
00:02:17,405 --> 00:02:19,696
was 1946.
52
00:02:36,673 --> 00:02:38,297
It was a wonderful time.
53
00:02:38,299 --> 00:02:41,801
Men wore hats, hemlines
were on the rise,
54
00:02:41,803 --> 00:02:43,138
and so was crime.
55
00:02:49,185 --> 00:02:52,562
Rationing was over, the
boys were home from the war,
56
00:02:52,564 --> 00:02:56,151
and the air was full of big
band music and possibility.
57
00:03:00,697 --> 00:03:02,363
An old friend had reached out,
58
00:03:02,365 --> 00:03:05,201
asking me to meet her for
a drink at the Garden Club.
59
00:03:33,188 --> 00:03:36,606
Now, the Garden Club was the
hottest spot on the isle of Manhattan
60
00:03:36,608 --> 00:03:39,859
because it had the best
chanteuse on the marquee.
61
00:03:39,861 --> 00:03:42,179
The whole city knew her voice,
62
00:03:42,180 --> 00:03:44,697
but I was the only one
who knew her real name.
63
00:03:44,699 --> 00:03:45,615
Lilith.
64
00:03:45,617 --> 00:03:47,241
Wait, who's Lilith?
65
00:03:47,243 --> 00:03:48,576
Maze's mother.
66
00:03:48,578 --> 00:03:51,871
Her spitting image, though neither
of them would ever admit it.

What the hell do you
think you're doing, laddie?
99
00:05:57,081 --> 00:05:59,332
I'm just going to speak with my friend.
100
00:05:59,334 --> 00:06:01,500
Shouldn't be eyeballing
Lily Rose like that.
101
00:06:01,502 --> 00:06:02,668
She's Stompanato's girl.
102
00:06:02,670 --> 00:06:04,625
Put it in neutral, boys.
103
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,382
Trust me.
104
00:06:09,385 --> 00:06:11,594
That's a fight you don't want to pick.
105
00:06:11,596 --> 00:06:12,820
Mm-hmm.
106
00:06:13,306 --> 00:06:16,059
Why don't you fellows go
jerk yourselves a soda?
107
00:06:17,018 --> 00:06:18,392
Oh, and...
108
00:06:18,394 --> 00:06:19,562
And tell Tommy,
109
00:06:20,188 --> 00:06:21,773
I'm nobody's girl.
110
00:06:26,486 --> 00:06:29,278
So, how long has it been?
111
00:06:29,280 --> 00:06:31,614
I don't believe I've seen you since...
112
00:06:31,616 --> 00:06:33,773
Marie Antoinette's coming-out party.
113
00:06:34,953 --> 00:06:36,535
And come out she did.
114
00:06:36,537 --> 00:06:38,287
Shame what happened to her.
115
00:06:38,289 --> 00:06:40,875
So what have you been up to
the past few hundred years?
116
00:06:41,833 --> 00:06:44,125
Oh, singing, carousing,
117
00:06:44,128 --> 00:06:46,420
raising hell one gin joint at a time.
118
00:06:47,590 --> 00:06:52,398
Everything was copacetic
until someone stole my ring.
119
00:06:52,401 --> 00:06:54,555
Oh, well, that is unfortunate.
120
00:06:55,515 --> 00:06:58,724
How about we cheer you up with
a healthy distraction, hmm?
121
00:06:58,726 --> 00:07:01,945
We could rent out a brothel, rob a bank.
122
00:07:01,948 --> 00:07:03,062
Oh!
123
00:07:03,064 --> 00:07:05,781
Ernie Hemingway's in town.
He's always good for a laugh.
124
00:07:09,070 --> 00:07:11,028
Well, I'm not sure
you can go out in that.
125
00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:14,532
Lucifer, that ring is the only
thing in the entire universe
126
00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:16,202
that means anything to me.
127
00:07:17,287 --> 00:07:18,906
I'm going to get it back.
128
00:07:19,872 --> 00:07:22,039
And you are going to help me.
129
00:07:22,041 --> 00:07:24,812
Uh-huh. And why would I do that?
130
00:07:27,796 --> 00:07:29,504
Because you owe me.
131
00:07:32,468 --> 00:07:34,262
Right. That.
132
00:07:38,141 --> 00:07:40,391
The Devil, solving crime.
133
00:07:40,393 --> 00:07:42,649
It's the most ridiculous
thing I've ever heard.
134

- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.Addic7ed.com --
135
00:07:51,153 --> 00:07:55,697
Seeing as this was long before my
police consultant days, I needed help.
136
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:57,158
Professional help.
137
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,744
Jack was a tough guy
I knew from back when.
138
00:07:59,746 --> 00:08:01,412
Bit of a hot mess since the war,
139
00:08:01,414 --> 00:08:05,626
but when it came to solving crimes,
he was the best in the business.
140
00:08:07,337 --> 00:08:08,344
Hang on.
141
00:08:08,962 --> 00:08:11,464
Why does the investigator
have to be a boy?
142
00:08:11,466 --> 00:08:13,751
My mom solves crimes all the time.
143
00:08:13,754 --> 00:08:14,886
Fine.
144
00:08:15,845 --> 00:08:17,305
As I was saying...
145
00:08:26,189 --> 00:08:28,608
Well, if it ain't Lucifer Morningstar.
146
00:08:29,484 --> 00:08:30,983
What can I do you for?
147
00:08:30,985 --> 00:08:36,074
I need to locate a rare and extremely
valuable piece of stolen jewelry.
148
00:08:39,577 --> 00:08:40,578
This ring...
149
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:42,828
to be precise.
150
00:08:42,830 --> 00:08:44,955
Wait, stop the story.
151
00:08:44,957 --> 00:08:47,083
You're supposed to be
telling me about your ring.
152
00:08:47,085 --> 00:08:48,376
Your ring is black.
153
00:08:48,378 --> 00:08:49,710
Do you want to hear the story?
154
00:08:49,712 --> 00:08:51,392
Because I'll be perfectly
happy at the bar.
155
00:08:52,048 --> 00:08:54,715
Okay, okay. Please continue.
156
00:08:54,717 --> 00:08:56,029
Oh, thank you.
157
00:08:56,032 --> 00:08:57,553
So...
158
00:08:58,179 --> 00:09:00,123
And why would I stick my nose in?
159
00:09:10,441 --> 00:09:11,692
All right, I'm listening.
160
00:09:13,569 --> 00:09:15,089
Where'd you last see the ring?
161
00:09:21,536 --> 00:09:24,703
All right, listen, this
is a pretty rough joint.
162
00:09:24,705 --> 00:09:26,914
Trouble comes a-knocking,
best stay behind me.
163
00:09:26,916 --> 00:09:29,583
Don't worry, I've seen
my fair share of trouble.
164
00:09:29,585 --> 00:09:31,168
Yeah?
165
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:33,172
How many Nazis you take out lately?
166
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:35,758
At ease, soldier.
167
00:09:36,801 --> 00:09:39,971
If fisticuffs ensue, I promise
to let you have all the fun.
168
00:09:42,265 --> 00:09:43,433
So...
169
00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:47,019
Which one of these ne'er-do-wells
shall we interview first?
170
00:09:48,771 --> 00:09:50,731
Same person everyone talks to.
171
00:09:57,196 --> 00:09:59,031
Be with you in two shakes.
172
00:10:02,285 --> 00:10:03,576
What's your poison?
173
00:10:03,578 --> 00:10:05,369
Gin? Tequila?
174
00:10:05,371 --> 00:10:08,831
We're, uh, looking for
information on Lily Rose's ring.
175
00:10:08,833 --> 00:10:10,042
You know who nabbed it?
176
00:10:13,129 --> 00:10:14,130
Word on the street...
177
00:10:14,922 --> 00:10:18,507
is folks say a newcomer was seen
lurking around Lily's dressing room
178
00:10:18,509 --> 00:10:20,011
the night the ring disappeared.
179
00:10:20,803 --> 00:10:23,474
Sticky-fingered gent by
the name of Lucky Larry.
180
00:10:23,477 --> 00:10:24,597
- Oh.
- Oh.
181
00:10:24,599 --> 00:10:25,892
You get a description?
182
00:10:32,190 --> 00:10:33,856
Sure, sure. Handsome.
183
00:10:33,858 --> 00:10:35,399
Kind of beefy.
184
00:10:35,401 --> 00:10:37,028
Short-haired, strong jaw.
185
00:10:37,904 --> 00:10:40,196
Usually wears a plain blue suit.
186
00:10:40,198 --> 00:10:42,074
Oh, and an eye patch.
187
00:10:42,742 --> 00:10:44,142
Well, you might have led with that.
188
00:10:45,495 --> 00:10:46,496
All right.
189
00:10:50,166 --> 00:10:51,373
Hey.
190
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:52,543
See that fella?
191
00:10:53,377 --> 00:10:56,462
That's the face of a
rat just dying to squeal.
192
00:10:56,464 --> 00:10:57,465
You sit tight.
193
00:10:58,466 --> 00:10:59,967
I'm going to go lend him an ear.
194
00:11:02,011 --> 00:11:03,844
Oh! Lovely.
195
00:11:03,846 --> 00:11:05,306
Just what the doctor ordered.
196
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:08,768
Jack Monroe, PI.
197
00:11:16,234 --> 00:11:18,528
You got any information
on a Lucky Larry?
198
00:11:20,112 --> 00:11:21,778
Seen him around.
199
00:11:21,781 --> 00:11:24,448
Handsome, beefy, strong jaw.
200
00:11:24,450 --> 00:11:26,452
- Eye patch?
- That's the guy!
201
00:11:27,630 --> 00:11:28,871
Listen.
202
00:11:29,580 --> 00:11:33,082
I don't want any trouble, but
if you meet me out back in five,
203
00:11:33,084 --> 00:11:35,251
I might be able to get you the skinny.
204
00:11:35,254 --> 00:11:36,557
All right.
205
00:11:47,014 --> 00:11:48,389
Well...
206
00:11:48,391 --> 00:11:50,768
it appears our rat turned tail and ran.
207
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:53,729
Yeah, he'll show.
208
00:11:57,275 --> 00:11:59,108
So, what'd you want to tell me?
209
00:11:59,110 --> 00:12:01,110
Hey, you should watch your back.
210
00:12:04,865 --> 00:12:06,824
- Ow!
- You again?
211
00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:09,868
Oh, dear! Are... Are you certain
you don't want me to get involved?
212
00:12:09,870 --> 00:12:11,998
It feels a little unsporting
just standing here.
213
00:12:12,832 --> 00:12:14,250
I take it back.
214
00:12:38,608 --> 00:12:40,693
Warmed them up for you, Mr. Stompanato.
215
00:12:44,614 --> 00:12:45,948
Thanks, boys.
216
00:12:47,575 --> 00:12:49,158
Wait, hold it!
217
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,618
Oh, for crying out loud.
218
00:12:50,620 --> 00:12:53,412
I thought you said Mr. Stompanato.
219
00:12:53,414 --> 00:12:54,913
"Mr." is a man.
220
00:12:54,915 --> 00:12:58,125
Did you or did you not request
a gender-balanced narrative?
221
00:12:58,127 --> 00:13:00,212
I'm simply following your instructions.
222
00:13:03,090 --> 00:13:06,427
Perhaps you're wondering why I
gathered you here this fine evening.
223
00:13:07,136 --> 00:13:08,495
Thing is...
224
00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:12,767
I don't like folks asking
questions in my club.
225
00:13:13,670 --> 00:13:16,328
Sticking noses where they don't belong.
226
00:13:16,331 --> 00:13:17,647
So...
227
00:13:18,989 --> 00:13:20,407
if you could refrain...
228
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,932
oh, I would deeply appreciate it.
229
00:13:24,945 --> 00:13:26,238
Because next time...
230
00:13:28,699 --> 00:13:30,493
I won't be so nice.
231
00:13:32,203 --> 00:13:33,746
That means you're gonna die.
232
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,674
And you...
233
00:13:46,884 --> 00:13:48,886
You're lucky you're a friend of Lily's.
234
00:13:51,305 --> 00:13:52,723
But don't get too friendly.
235
00:13:57,103 --> 00:13:58,479
Enjoy your evening.
236
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:02,483
Let's go, boys.
237
00:14:10,658 --> 00:14:12,741
Yeah, thanks for having
my six back there.
238
00:14:12,743 --> 00:14:15,744
But you told me to stay behind you,
239
00:14:15,746 --> 00:14:18,666
which wasn't easy, considering you
spent so much time on the pavement.
240
00:14:20,167 --> 00:14:21,669
So, what now?
241
00:14:23,879 --> 00:14:26,630
Well, we'll check out Lucky
Larry's usual haunts in the morning.
242
00:14:26,632 --> 00:14:28,757
You know, petty thieves
are like bad pennies.
243
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,135
Sooner or later, they always turn up.
244
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:32,302
Well, then.
245
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:36,265
I am off to trip the light fantastic
with your city's best and brightest.
246
00:14:37,643 --> 00:14:39,645
I assume you have plans of your own.
247
00:14:40,604 --> 00:14:42,104
What can I say?
248
00:14:42,106 --> 00:14:43,983
Life's one big party.
249
00:14:47,445 --> 00:14:48,819
Little did I know,
250
00:14:48,821 --> 00:14:51,905
Jack and his wife, Shirley,
were going through a rough patch.
251
00:14:51,907 --> 00:14:53,323
How are the potatoes?
252
00:14:58,372 --> 00:15:01,000
I made them with cream,
just like you like.
253
00:15:06,505 --> 00:15:07,796
Um...
254
00:15:07,798 --> 00:15:09,175
What happened with your eye?
255
00:15:12,198 --> 00:15:13,387
Nothing.
256
00:15:14,513 --> 00:15:16,096
Jack, I know you're still sore with me,
257
00:15:16,098 --> 00:15:17,931
- but you can't just...
- Excuse me.
258
00:15:17,933 --> 00:15:19,226
Lost my appetite.
259
00:15:22,646 --> 00:15:25,858
God forbid a man gets a
moment's peace around here.
260
00:15:35,201 --> 00:15:36,366
Lucky Larry?
261
00:15:52,468 --> 00:15:53,761
Give me that name again.
262
00:15:57,056 --> 00:16:00,309
I have to say, that dress
is a lovely color on you.
263
00:16:00,935 --> 00:16:04,269
What say we leave the dishes and
take it for a spin at the Copacabana?
264
00:16:04,271 --> 00:16:06,690
Well, that's sweet of you,
Mr. Morningstar, but...
265
00:16:07,316 --> 00:16:09,066
I already have my dance partner.
266
00:16:09,068 --> 00:16:10,110
Oh.
267
00:16:11,028 --> 00:16:12,154
At least, I thought I did.
268
00:16:13,155 --> 00:16:14,156
All right, thanks.
269
00:16:18,828 --> 00:16:23,121
If you know what's good for you,
you stay the hell away from my wife.
270
00:16:23,123 --> 00:16:24,456
Well, I didn't think you'd mind,
271
00:16:24,458 --> 00:16:27,000
considering you haven't said
two words to her since I arrived.
272
00:16:27,002 --> 00:16:28,919
I just got off the
horn with my informant.
273
00:16:28,921 --> 00:16:30,864
Apparently, Lucky Larry got into it
274
00:16:30,867 --> 00:16:33,131
with someone down at
the docks yesterday.
275
00:16:33,133 --> 00:16:37,678
A, uh, bratwurst heir by the
name of William Kincannon.
276
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,431
Folks call him "Willy
the Sausage Prince."
277
00:16:40,224 --> 00:16:41,723
Sounds like an upstanding fellow.
278
00:16:41,725 --> 00:16:44,270
Yeah, well, we'll bust
his chops in the morning.
279
00:16:47,064 --> 00:16:49,029
Jack, where are you going?
280
00:16:49,032 --> 00:16:50,148
I, um...
281
00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:52,985
I think it's gonna be an
early morning and, uh...
282
00:16:52,987 --> 00:16:54,115
I'll just...
283
00:16:55,072 --> 00:16:56,522
sleep at the office.
284
00:17:00,035 --> 00:17:04,246
So, what did the missus do to
get your trousers in such a twist?
285
00:17:04,248 --> 00:17:05,789
Cheat on you?
286
00:17:05,791 --> 00:17:08,667
Kick your dog? Ruin your favorite shirt?
287
00:17:08,669 --> 00:17:09,918
None of the above.
288
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,505
Couple weeks back, I...
289
00:17:12,882 --> 00:17:16,051
went out with some of
my army pals, and...
290
00:17:18,178 --> 00:17:20,431
a few drinks in, the
captain says to me...
291
00:17:22,266 --> 00:17:25,311
"You and Shirley were the
best 20 bucks I ever spent."
292
00:17:28,105 --> 00:17:31,064
Well, I thought it was fate that
brought Shirley and I together
293
00:17:31,066 --> 00:17:32,985
in the public library that day.
294
00:17:33,777 --> 00:17:35,237
All along, it was...
295
00:17:35,863 --> 00:17:36,947
just about money.
296
00:17:37,573 --> 00:17:40,008
- Shirley was a call girl?
- Yeah.
297
00:17:40,011 --> 00:17:41,491
That's right.
298
00:17:41,493 --> 00:17:44,703
And rousting me out of my
shell shock was her final trick.
299
00:17:44,705 --> 00:17:45,996
Well.
300
00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:47,831
Aren't you lucky
301
00:17:47,833 --> 00:17:50,876
to benefit from the
experience your wife has gained
302
00:17:50,878 --> 00:17:53,380
with dozens, maybe hundreds of men?
303
00:17:54,048 --> 00:17:57,132
Firemen, barbers, sailors,
carnival barkers...
304
00:17:57,134 --> 00:17:58,260
Yeah, I get it.
305
00:17:59,887 --> 00:18:02,804
Well, if it bothers you so much,
why not just up stakes and leave?
306
00:18:02,806 --> 00:18:06,621
Well, because I love her,
and, uh, she says she loves me.
307
00:18:08,228 --> 00:18:09,833
So when you find out the best thing that
308
00:18:09,836 --> 00:18:11,438
ever happened to you started with a lie,
309
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,609
well, it's like building
a house on quicksand.
310
00:18:14,276 --> 00:18:16,278
Sooner or later, it all falls apart.
311
00:18:18,572 --> 00:18:20,781
Sorry, got lost in a daydream,
312
00:18:20,783 --> 00:18:24,328
on account of your problem
being so extraordinarily boring.
313
00:18:25,204 --> 00:18:27,623
Have you considered forgetting about it?
314
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:31,877
Have I considered forgetting about it?
315
00:18:32,586 --> 00:18:33,919
Is that your advice?
316
00:18:33,921 --> 00:18:35,754
Well, in my experience...
317
00:18:35,756 --> 00:18:39,466
...problems are like
Bible salesmen, or...
318
00:18:39,468 --> 00:18:41,051
genital warts.
319
00:18:41,053 --> 00:18:43,931
If you pretend they're not there,
sooner or later, they disappear.
320
00:18:52,564 --> 00:18:54,481
Can you not paint the sword first?
321
00:18:54,483 --> 00:18:56,108
It's ridiculously heavy.
322
00:18:56,110 --> 00:18:57,943
Perhaps you'd like a break, sir.
323
00:18:59,029 --> 00:19:00,239
Yeah.
324
00:19:02,491 --> 00:19:05,659
Why don't you take a load off, Willy?
325
00:19:05,661 --> 00:19:07,244
Who the hell are you?
326
00:19:07,246 --> 00:19:08,954
Jack Monroe, PI.
327
00:19:08,956 --> 00:19:10,958
Lucifer Morningstar, Devil.
328
00:19:11,792 --> 00:19:13,221
Carmina!
329
00:19:13,224 --> 00:19:14,420
Tea!
330
00:19:20,175 --> 00:19:23,104
My dear friend Sigmund would
have had a field day with you.
331
00:19:23,887 --> 00:19:25,324
Where's the ring?
332
00:19:25,327 --> 00:19:26,596
The what?
333
00:19:26,598 --> 00:19:28,183
Never mind, I'll find it myself.
334
00:19:29,184 --> 00:19:30,559
What are you doing?
335
00:19:30,561 --> 00:19:32,227
What is he doing? What is he doing?
336
00:19:32,229 --> 00:19:34,187
Can you please tell me what he's doing?
337
00:19:34,189 --> 00:19:36,690
Hey, I wouldn't worry about that.
338
00:19:36,692 --> 00:19:38,066
What I would worry about is,
339
00:19:38,068 --> 00:19:42,571
we heard you had a pretty heated
exchange down at the docks yesterday.
340
00:19:42,573 --> 00:19:44,074
Guy named Lucky Larry.
341
00:19:44,867 --> 00:19:46,365
So?
342
00:19:46,368 --> 00:19:49,703
So Lucky Larry stole my friend's
ring and then wound up dead.
343
00:19:49,705 --> 00:19:52,160
Stabbed in the back,
some sort of fancy knife.
344
00:19:53,082 --> 00:19:55,835
Wait, you think I killed him?
345
00:19:56,295 --> 00:19:57,379
I would never.
346
00:19:58,338 --> 00:20:01,173
I mean, I could if I
had to, but I didn't.
347
00:20:01,175 --> 00:20:02,966
And I don't know anything about a ring.
348
00:20:02,968 --> 00:20:05,052
Does anyone know about
your whereabouts last night?
349
00:20:05,054 --> 00:20:06,386
Yes.
350
00:20:06,388 --> 00:20:07,596
My portraitist.
351
00:20:07,598 --> 00:20:10,849
I was posing as Hannibal crossing
the Alps until almost midnight.
352
00:20:10,851 --> 00:20:14,478
The overtime fees for a rental
elephant are unconscionable.
353
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,563
How do you know Lucky Larry exactly?
354
00:20:26,950 --> 00:20:28,784
From time to time,
355
00:20:28,786 --> 00:20:32,537
I purchase a trinket
or two from Laurence.
356
00:20:32,539 --> 00:20:36,083
How they come into his
possession, I do not ask.
357
00:20:36,085 --> 00:20:38,504
I collect objets de guerre.
358
00:20:39,505 --> 00:20:42,049
If he has something that
I enjoy, he calls me.
359
00:20:43,175 --> 00:20:45,302
I just love war, don't you?
360
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:48,889
Sure.
361
00:20:49,848 --> 00:20:51,139
Fifth Infantry.
362
00:20:51,141 --> 00:20:52,561
Battle of the Bulge.
363
00:20:53,060 --> 00:20:56,228
And now, where exactly did you serve?
364
00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:57,314
I would have, but...
365
00:20:58,232 --> 00:20:59,689
asthma.
366
00:20:59,691 --> 00:21:02,150
That's why I was so
upset when Lucky Larry
367
00:21:02,152 --> 00:21:04,778
insisted that we have our
meeting up on the docks.
368
00:21:04,780 --> 00:21:06,780
There was dirt everywhere.
369
00:21:06,782 --> 00:21:09,241
I'm almost certain I stepped in feces.
370
00:21:09,243 --> 00:21:11,952
I'm beginning to think that
Willy here doesn't have the brains
371
00:21:11,954 --> 00:21:13,078
to have nicked Lily's ring.
372
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,704
No kidding.
373
00:21:14,706 --> 00:21:16,498
Where do you and Larry meet normally?
374
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:17,666
At his apartment.
375
00:21:17,668 --> 00:21:19,584
It's not much cleaner than the docks.
376
00:21:19,586 --> 00:21:22,297
And yes, I will have Carmina
write down the address for you.
377
00:21:23,556 --> 00:21:24,624
Thanks.
378
00:21:26,301 --> 00:21:28,406
- Quite a unique fellow, aren't you?
- Mm.
379
00:21:29,346 --> 00:21:32,859
There's a word to describe you, but
I can't quite put my finger on it.
380
00:21:34,184 --> 00:21:36,768
It's like a shower, but French.
381
00:21:36,770 --> 00:21:38,895
Oh, I'm sure it'll come to me.
382
00:21:38,897 --> 00:21:39,940
Hmm.
383
00:21:43,360 --> 00:21:45,735
Private dick track
down that ring of yours?
384
00:21:45,737 --> 00:21:46,778
Hardly.
385
00:21:46,780 --> 00:21:49,281
Our best lead just turned up dead.
386
00:21:50,715 --> 00:21:53,236
Sounds like that ring
meant a lot to you.
387
00:21:57,749 --> 00:22:00,669
I was married, a long time ago.
388
00:22:01,795 --> 00:22:03,046
Guy named Adam.
389
00:22:04,506 --> 00:22:07,591
Things weren't great between us.
390
00:22:07,593 --> 00:22:10,093
Even worse between me and his father.
391
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:11,471
- Sorry.
- Don't be.
392
00:22:12,389 --> 00:22:15,058
By the time they sent me
away, it was almost a relief.
393
00:22:16,685 --> 00:22:20,606
I took one little piece of
that garden on the way out.
394
00:22:21,773 --> 00:22:23,609
The stone that was in my ring.
395
00:22:26,069 --> 00:22:28,780
I didn't like much of anything
about my life back then.
396
00:22:30,282 --> 00:22:32,576
But I sure did love that garden.
397
00:22:36,319 --> 00:22:37,631
Anyway.
398
00:22:38,498 --> 00:22:42,303
The ring reminds me that I
don't need Adam or his family,
399
00:22:42,306 --> 00:22:43,712
that I don't need anybody.
400
00:22:44,587 --> 00:22:45,878
Oh, Lily.
401
00:22:45,881 --> 00:22:47,007
You're married, right?
402
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,051
Yeah.
403
00:22:50,510 --> 00:22:52,179
To my high school sweetheart, Bill.
404
00:22:53,513 --> 00:22:55,474
We got hitched just before he enlisted.
405
00:22:56,350 --> 00:22:57,851
Wrote each other every day...
406
00:22:59,686 --> 00:23:01,855
until he got wounded in Guadalcanal.
407
00:23:04,066 --> 00:23:05,273
But he made it out,
408
00:23:05,275 --> 00:23:07,069
all the way to the VA upstate.
409
00:23:09,404 --> 00:23:10,948
But the doctors, they can't...
410
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,035
We've known each other all our lives.
411
00:23:16,787 --> 00:23:17,955
I just can't believe...
412
00:23:18,789 --> 00:23:19,831
I might lose him.
413
00:23:21,375 --> 00:23:24,251
Guess I'm lucky I never got
attached to anybody that way.
414
00:23:24,253 --> 00:23:25,295
Don't you say that!
415
00:23:26,630 --> 00:23:28,924
Every day with my Bill is a gift.
416
00:23:31,677 --> 00:23:33,804
Knowing we may not
have much time left...
417
00:23:36,056 --> 00:23:37,683
only makes it that much sweeter.
418
00:23:46,233 --> 00:23:47,401
Ugh!
419
00:23:48,568 --> 00:23:50,904
Well, I don't know why
they called him Lucky Larry.
420
00:23:52,155 --> 00:23:56,700
This apartment is literally the
most depressing hovel I've ever seen,
421
00:23:56,702 --> 00:23:58,537
and I've seen Kafka's Hell loop.
422
00:24:05,794 --> 00:24:07,419
Your friend's ring might not be here,
423
00:24:07,421 --> 00:24:10,255
but there is plenty
of useful information.
424
00:24:10,257 --> 00:24:12,090
- You see this rug, crumpled up?
- Mm.
425
00:24:12,092 --> 00:24:15,470
I think this is where our killer
bopped Larry right in the kisser.
426
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:18,305
Larry falls backwards, here,
427
00:24:18,307 --> 00:24:19,556
hits his head
428
00:24:19,558 --> 00:24:22,100
right here on the table,
where you see these wood chips.
429
00:24:22,102 --> 00:24:23,487
Mm-hmm.
430
00:24:23,490 --> 00:24:24,855
But then...
431
00:24:25,772 --> 00:24:26,855
he shakes it off.
432
00:24:26,857 --> 00:24:32,485
He gets up and he charges at
our killer. You, like this.
433
00:24:32,487 --> 00:24:34,362
- Oh!
- He knocks the wind out of him.
434
00:24:34,364 --> 00:24:36,454
- Sorry, pal.
- That's all right, I love role play.
435
00:24:36,457 --> 00:24:38,366
Things are looking up for our pal Larry,
436
00:24:38,369 --> 00:24:40,045
until the killer pulls out a knife.
437
00:24:40,787 --> 00:24:42,331
- Ah-ha!
- Larry...
438
00:24:42,956 --> 00:24:46,291
heads to the window, but
the window was painted shut.
439
00:24:46,293 --> 00:24:49,546
He tried, he wrenched it open.
440
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,217
He got halfway out when the killer...
441
00:24:55,719 --> 00:24:57,512
comes over, stabs him in the back...
442
00:24:58,722 --> 00:25:00,263
creating that
443
00:25:00,265 --> 00:25:01,764
blood spatter.
444
00:25:01,767 --> 00:25:03,099
Oh!
445
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:04,811
And then...
446
00:25:05,771 --> 00:25:08,732
Larry escapes into the evening.
447
00:25:09,483 --> 00:25:11,735
Only to expire on your doorstep.
448
00:25:12,944 --> 00:25:15,111
I just wish we had some more evidence
449
00:25:15,113 --> 00:25:17,532
pointing us to whoever
dusted poor old Larry.
450
00:25:19,201 --> 00:25:20,285
Well, actually,
451
00:25:20,994 --> 00:25:22,537
I might have something.
452
00:25:24,998 --> 00:25:27,040
A very expensive cigar.
453
00:25:27,042 --> 00:25:28,583
Well, just the tip.
454
00:25:28,585 --> 00:25:31,711
Romeo y Julieta, a favorite
of Winston Churchill and...
455
00:25:31,713 --> 00:25:32,796
Our old pal...
456
00:25:32,798 --> 00:25:34,774
- Tony Stompanato.
- Tony Stompanato.
457
00:25:40,258 --> 00:25:41,444
Huh.
458
00:25:43,892 --> 00:25:47,354
So Stompanato finds out Lucky
Larry stole his girl's ring...
459
00:25:48,397 --> 00:25:49,993
poses as a buyer...
460
00:25:49,996 --> 00:25:51,356
gets the ring back.
461
00:25:51,358 --> 00:25:53,316
Then kills the thief to avenge the girl.
462
00:25:53,318 --> 00:25:56,069
But if Stompanato did all
this to impress Lily Rose...
463
00:25:56,071 --> 00:25:57,362
Why not give her the ring?
464
00:25:57,364 --> 00:25:58,684
Yeah.
465
00:26:27,352 --> 00:26:29,187
Rise and shine, Stompanato.
466
00:26:47,122 --> 00:26:49,624
That certainly explains why
he never gave Lily's ring back.
467
00:26:50,584 --> 00:26:54,004
Looks like Mr. Stompanato's
bark was worse than his bite.
468
00:27:03,180 --> 00:27:04,826
They took his heart.
469
00:27:04,829 --> 00:27:06,347
What do you think they did with it?
470
00:27:06,349 --> 00:27:08,600
Well, he didn't seem the
type to wear it on his sleeve.
471
00:27:08,602 --> 00:27:09,809
I'll check the floor.
472
00:27:09,811 --> 00:27:11,029
Ugh.
473
00:27:15,525 --> 00:27:17,107
Huh.
474
00:27:17,110 --> 00:27:20,363
Looks like we were right about
Stompanato rubbing out Lucky Larry.
475
00:27:21,014 --> 00:27:23,907
Same insignia as the knife
in Lucky Larry's back.
476
00:27:23,909 --> 00:27:26,784
But who rubbed out Stompanato?
477
00:27:26,786 --> 00:27:29,204
I think I know the answer to that.
478
00:27:29,206 --> 00:27:31,372
A man after his own heart,
479
00:27:31,374 --> 00:27:33,126
and Lily Rose's ring.
480
00:27:34,628 --> 00:27:37,672
But it appears we're
too late on both counts.
481
00:27:38,757 --> 00:27:41,007
Who would have the stones
to carve up Stompanato,
482
00:27:41,009 --> 00:27:43,593
and what's that wackadoo
symbol on his face?
483
00:27:43,595 --> 00:27:44,804
They're hieroglyphics.
484
00:27:47,224 --> 00:27:48,806
I believe it's the Eye of Horus,
485
00:27:48,808 --> 00:27:51,476
a sacred symbol in
ancient Egyptian culture.
486
00:27:51,478 --> 00:27:52,521
Sacred eye.
487
00:27:53,897 --> 00:27:55,647
I've heard that before.
488
00:27:55,649 --> 00:27:57,734
I think I know where to
find our graffiti artist.
489
00:28:09,037 --> 00:28:10,121
Hmm.
490
00:28:14,584 --> 00:28:16,086
- Salutations.
- Bloody hell!
491
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:20,173
Have you come seeking...
492
00:28:21,132 --> 00:28:22,590
books?
493
00:28:22,592 --> 00:28:25,554
Yeah, we have come...
494
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,930
seeking books.
495
00:28:28,940 --> 00:28:30,141
Oh.
496
00:28:30,976 --> 00:28:33,893
Thought you were here for
the secret cult ceremony.
497
00:28:33,895 --> 00:28:35,562
Sorry, my friend is new.
498
00:28:35,564 --> 00:28:38,982
We are absolutely here for
the secret cult ceremony.
499
00:28:38,984 --> 00:28:41,442
If you wouldn't mind pointing
us in the right direction.
500
00:28:41,444 --> 00:28:43,194
Right through that door.
501
00:28:43,196 --> 00:28:45,446
And if you haven't
mail-ordered your robes yet,
502
00:28:45,448 --> 00:28:48,074
there's a few extra
hanging on the coat rack.
503
00:28:48,076 --> 00:28:49,286
Mm. Mm-hmm.
504
00:28:50,203 --> 00:28:51,369
Lovely.
505
00:28:51,371 --> 00:28:52,738
Thank you.
506
00:29:15,895 --> 00:29:18,605
Melvin the Magnificent, at your service!
507
00:29:18,607 --> 00:29:20,356
What is it with this place?
508
00:29:20,358 --> 00:29:22,442
Board-certified priest, oracle,
509
00:29:22,444 --> 00:29:24,736
shaman, and justice of the peace.
510
00:29:24,738 --> 00:29:26,571
How may I assist you?
511
00:29:26,573 --> 00:29:28,281
Lift a curse? Cure a nasty rash?
512
00:29:28,283 --> 00:29:31,784
I got a love spell guaranteed
to reel in a dame at 50 paces.
513
00:29:31,786 --> 00:29:34,704
We're looking for something
much stronger than that.
514
00:29:34,706 --> 00:29:38,501
Preferably Egyptian, possibly
involving the removal of a heart.
515
00:29:39,961 --> 00:29:41,046
Ah...
516
00:29:42,172 --> 00:29:45,800
You seek the ceremony of Anubis.
517
00:29:46,468 --> 00:29:49,802
Yes, we do. We'll take
one of those, please.
518
00:29:49,804 --> 00:29:51,491
Very well.
519
00:29:51,494 --> 00:29:52,974
Look over there!
520
00:29:57,687 --> 00:29:59,854
For just 12 dollars, 12 dollars,
521
00:29:59,856 --> 00:30:02,690
our deluxe ceremony of Anubis includes
522
00:30:02,692 --> 00:30:05,693
this ceremonial mask, two acolytes,
523
00:30:05,695 --> 00:30:07,987
and a drum made from the
skin of a Vestal Virgin,
524
00:30:07,989 --> 00:30:09,864
a gilded sacrificial dagger,
525
00:30:09,866 --> 00:30:12,533
and one live...
526
00:30:12,535 --> 00:30:14,326
chicken!
527
00:30:14,329 --> 00:30:16,537
It never ends well for the chicken.
528
00:30:16,539 --> 00:30:19,832
Or you might prefer
529
00:30:19,834 --> 00:30:21,086
our economy package.
530
00:30:22,045 --> 00:30:23,127
Uh...
531
00:30:23,129 --> 00:30:25,004
only six dollars!
532
00:30:25,006 --> 00:30:27,715
And the chicken heart comes
pre-sacrificed for your convenience.
533
00:30:27,717 --> 00:30:29,967
Not accurate, historically speaking,
534
00:30:29,969 --> 00:30:31,636
but quite, uh, bloody.
535
00:30:31,638 --> 00:30:33,971
My old friend Tutankhamen
would've loved it.
536
00:30:33,973 --> 00:30:37,767
In the modern age, we
are taught to fear death.
537
00:30:37,769 --> 00:30:40,063
But the ancients
understood that death...
538
00:30:40,706 --> 00:30:41,979
is power.
539
00:30:45,485 --> 00:30:47,567
Did you feel powerful
540
00:30:47,570 --> 00:30:49,459
when you were holding Tommy Stompanato's
541
00:30:49,462 --> 00:30:51,396
heart in your hands
after you killed him?
542
00:30:53,118 --> 00:30:55,161
Somebody killed Tommy Stompanato?
543
00:30:57,038 --> 00:31:00,206
You... You can't possibly believe
that I had anything to do with that.
544
00:31:00,208 --> 00:31:01,999
Oh, yeah. We absolutely do.
545
00:31:02,001 --> 00:31:05,461
Yes, tell us, Melvin the Magnificent.
546
00:31:05,463 --> 00:31:07,257
What is it you desire?
547
00:31:09,592 --> 00:31:11,300
- I...
- Yeah...
548
00:31:11,302 --> 00:31:12,926
...want...
549
00:31:12,929 --> 00:31:14,262
Yeah.
550
00:31:14,264 --> 00:31:16,489
...a 1941 Pontiac Torpedo.
551
00:31:19,394 --> 00:31:22,019
Eight-cylinder engine, 103 horsepower,
552
00:31:22,021 --> 00:31:25,400
zero to forty in under
three minutes, and...
553
00:31:26,276 --> 00:31:28,067
surprisingly affordable.
554
00:31:28,069 --> 00:31:30,778
A few of these deluxe ceremonies a week,
555
00:31:30,780 --> 00:31:33,531
a couple of sacred
objects here and there,
556
00:31:33,533 --> 00:31:35,658
and I'm cruising the
open road by summer.
557
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:37,759
You killed Stompanato and then you stole
558
00:31:37,762 --> 00:31:40,246
my friend Lilith's very special ring,
559
00:31:40,248 --> 00:31:43,666
so forget the open road. The only
place you're going is downtown.
560
00:31:43,668 --> 00:31:44,919
Hold the line there, pal.
561
00:31:45,587 --> 00:31:47,545
Are you talking about
the ring of Lilith?
562
00:31:47,547 --> 00:31:48,921
Because my clients...
563
00:31:48,923 --> 00:31:54,051
uh, parishioners, would pay top dollar
for even a slightly passable fake.
564
00:31:54,053 --> 00:31:55,344
We could split the profits.
565
00:31:55,346 --> 00:31:58,264
Objects of immortality
are my bestsellers.
566
00:31:58,266 --> 00:32:01,893
Right. Can any of your "parishioners"
account for your whereabouts
567
00:32:01,895 --> 00:32:03,269
from noon to 6:00 today?
568
00:32:03,271 --> 00:32:04,687
Well, sure, I was here.
569
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:07,106
I did four tarot card readings...
570
00:32:07,108 --> 00:32:08,359
uh, an exorcism...
571
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,486
and a bar mitzvah.
572
00:32:11,488 --> 00:32:13,905
- Oh...
- Tony Stompanato's heart was ripped out
573
00:32:13,907 --> 00:32:16,032
in an identical manner to
your little chicken scam,
574
00:32:16,034 --> 00:32:17,992
so if it wasn't you that killed him,
575
00:32:17,994 --> 00:32:19,577
it had to be one of your customers.
576
00:32:19,579 --> 00:32:22,121
Did you tell any of them
about the ring of Lilith?
577
00:32:22,123 --> 00:32:26,167
Well, sure. I've been selling maps
to Lilith's tomb for years, but...
578
00:32:26,169 --> 00:32:29,212
I couldn't tell you who bought
them on account of all the robes.
579
00:32:29,214 --> 00:32:33,092
Well, that was a clucking waste of time.
580
00:32:36,095 --> 00:32:39,180
I'm afraid we've hit a dead end.
581
00:32:39,182 --> 00:32:41,810
Found a few heart puns,
had a few laughs, but...
582
00:32:42,685 --> 00:32:45,146
it seems you'll have to
live without your ring.
583
00:32:46,606 --> 00:32:50,443
So, why don't I repay
my debt some other way?
584
00:32:52,028 --> 00:32:56,447
A castle, a private
island, a mountain of gold?
585
00:32:56,449 --> 00:32:59,577
The world is your oyster,
and I, your concierge.
586
00:33:01,663 --> 00:33:03,581
Thousands of years, Lucifer,
587
00:33:04,290 --> 00:33:06,793
and that ring has always been with me.
588
00:33:07,710 --> 00:33:09,879
It reminds me of who I am,
589
00:33:10,588 --> 00:33:13,174
why I have done the things I've done.
590
00:33:14,300 --> 00:33:16,636
You mean, why you sent
your children to Hell?
591
00:33:17,470 --> 00:33:19,303
I gave you an army!
592
00:33:19,305 --> 00:33:21,516
An army I never asked for.
593
00:33:22,183 --> 00:33:23,474
And...
594
00:33:23,476 --> 00:33:25,687
one I didn't know I needed at the time.
595
00:33:27,897 --> 00:33:31,818
But... without them I would
have spent eternity alone, and...
596
00:33:32,569 --> 00:33:35,154
for that, I shall be
forever in your debt.
597
00:33:36,698 --> 00:33:40,410
Which is why I'm truly sorry
I couldn't get your ring back.
598
00:33:44,873 --> 00:33:46,040
So am I.
599
00:33:49,294 --> 00:33:51,001
So...
600
00:33:51,004 --> 00:33:54,005
How exactly did everyone get the idea
601
00:33:54,007 --> 00:33:56,593
it's the ring that makes
you immortal, anyway?
602
00:33:56,596 --> 00:33:57,802
Hmm?
603
00:33:59,721 --> 00:34:00,722
Uh...
604
00:34:01,389 --> 00:34:05,224
So I hitch a ride through the
Americas with this explorer,
605
00:34:05,226 --> 00:34:06,684
Hernán Cortés,
606
00:34:06,686 --> 00:34:10,813
obsessed with gold, rains bloodshed
and terror wherever he goes.
607
00:34:10,815 --> 00:34:11,816
A real wet blanket.
608
00:34:12,859 --> 00:34:16,262
I split the second we hit
land and hook up with this
609
00:34:16,263 --> 00:34:20,155
strapping Aztec warrior.
610
00:34:20,158 --> 00:34:21,542
Montezuma.
611
00:34:23,369 --> 00:34:27,288
We have a few drinks,
he asks if I'm a virgin.
612
00:34:27,290 --> 00:34:31,709
I say yes because that always
got the folks in Spain going.
613
00:34:31,711 --> 00:34:33,419
- Mm-hmm.
- Next thing I know,
614
00:34:33,421 --> 00:34:36,505
some priest fellas are
throwing me in a volcano.
615
00:34:36,507 --> 00:34:37,800
I survive, and...
616
00:34:38,425 --> 00:34:40,369
somebody writes it on a stone tablet.
617
00:34:40,370 --> 00:34:41,969
You know how these things start.
618
00:34:41,971 --> 00:34:44,597
I do.
619
00:34:44,599 --> 00:34:45,975
Mortals.
620
00:34:46,684 --> 00:34:49,310
Wouldn't mind seeing the
look on that thief's face
621
00:34:49,312 --> 00:34:52,563
when they realize that that
ring doesn't do a damn thing.
622
00:34:52,565 --> 00:34:54,648
Hold on.
623
00:34:54,651 --> 00:34:57,229
The ring doesn't work,
624
00:34:57,232 --> 00:35:00,531
which means the thief will be
looking for a way to make it work.
625
00:35:03,076 --> 00:35:07,285
Lilith, I believe I've found
a way to get your ring back.
626
00:35:07,288 --> 00:35:11,143
All we need is a high priest,
a jeweler, and a distraction.
627
00:35:17,674 --> 00:35:20,925
Thanks to a certain high priest-
cum-magic school freshman I know,
628
00:35:20,927 --> 00:35:22,843
the word is out that
your ring only works
629
00:35:22,845 --> 00:35:25,346
when it's attached to
this rather gaudy bangle.
630
00:35:25,348 --> 00:35:28,557
So whoever stole the ring
will come back for this...
631
00:35:28,559 --> 00:35:29,850
bracelet.
632
00:35:29,852 --> 00:35:31,435
The thief waits till you're on stage
633
00:35:31,437 --> 00:35:33,646
and sneaks into your
dressing room just as before,
634
00:35:33,648 --> 00:35:36,273
except this time, our
pal Jack will be watching.
635
00:35:36,275 --> 00:35:38,943
Jack catches thief, thief gives up ring,
636
00:35:38,945 --> 00:35:41,988
and before you know it, that little
piece of Eden will be back on your finger
637
00:35:41,990 --> 00:35:43,700
where it belongs.
638
00:35:49,455 --> 00:35:50,822
Hey...
639
00:35:55,378 --> 00:35:56,919
I appreciate you doing this.
640
00:35:56,921 --> 00:35:59,090
Well, your friend Lucifer
said you needed me.
641
00:35:59,757 --> 00:36:02,174
But when this is over, I'm
taking the bus to Des Moines.
642
00:36:02,176 --> 00:36:04,095
I'm gonna move back in with my mother.
643
00:36:08,182 --> 00:36:09,475
Okay, so...
644
00:36:10,768 --> 00:36:13,144
When Lily gives the cue,
you take the bracelet.
645
00:36:13,146 --> 00:36:15,563
- Okay?
- And then I parade it around the club,
646
00:36:15,565 --> 00:36:18,359
take it back to the dressing
room, put it in the safe.
647
00:36:19,211 --> 00:36:20,445
Wait.
648
00:36:23,557 --> 00:36:24,899
Just, uh...
649
00:36:26,367 --> 00:36:27,781
Be careful, okay?
650
00:36:30,038 --> 00:36:32,832
I'm gonna need more than that, Jack.
651
00:36:36,627 --> 00:36:39,255
All this time you've spent on Earth...
652
00:36:40,381 --> 00:36:43,009
have you ever connected with a human?
653
00:36:43,885 --> 00:36:46,218
I've connected with thousands of humans.
654
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:48,888
Once, Caligula and I made a human train
655
00:36:48,890 --> 00:36:52,268
- of 37...
- I'm not talking about sex, Lucifer.
656
00:36:54,187 --> 00:36:55,647
I'm talking...
657
00:36:55,650 --> 00:36:57,851
about an emotional connection.
658
00:36:57,854 --> 00:36:59,190
Oh!
659
00:36:59,192 --> 00:37:02,068
Absolutely not.
660
00:37:02,070 --> 00:37:04,737
It would take a literal miracle
for me to want something like that,
661
00:37:04,739 --> 00:37:07,740
and I'm fairly certain my father's
not handing those out anymore.
662
00:37:07,742 --> 00:37:09,726
Why?
663
00:37:09,729 --> 00:37:11,163
Just wondering.
664
00:37:15,875 --> 00:37:18,501
Take my wife. Please!
665
00:37:22,131 --> 00:37:25,883
Abe Gantz, the funniest
man in Manhattan!
666
00:37:30,556 --> 00:37:31,806
By special request,
667
00:37:31,808 --> 00:37:35,810
I'm going to sing a song that's
been a favorite of mine for a while.
668
00:37:35,812 --> 00:37:36,854
Ah!
669
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:38,839
Truth is, I'm...
670
00:37:39,972 --> 00:37:41,107
Just one dollar.
671
00:37:41,109 --> 00:37:45,446
...not sure I ever really understood
what it meant until just now.
672
00:37:47,115 --> 00:37:48,783
Oh!
673
00:37:49,659 --> 00:37:51,784
Sorry about that, folks.
674
00:37:51,794 --> 00:37:55,495
Had this old thing for forever,
and it always gets in the way.
675
00:37:55,498 --> 00:37:58,668
How about a little costume
change before we get started?
676
00:38:02,588 --> 00:38:04,966
Be a doll and put this
in my safe, will you?

Thank God you're okay.
700
00:40:34,198 --> 00:40:36,824
There's a man in Lily's dressing room.
701
00:40:36,826 --> 00:40:39,745
I made sure he saw me put the bracelet
in the safe, just like you said.
702
00:40:40,454 --> 00:40:42,413
Go, before he gets away!
703
00:40:42,415 --> 00:40:44,123
You're an angel, Shirl.
704
00:40:44,125 --> 00:40:45,418
- Go.
- Okay.
705
00:40:56,387 --> 00:40:57,785
Hands in the air.
706
00:41:00,245 --> 00:41:01,449
Back up.
707
00:41:02,143 --> 00:41:03,597
Back up slowly.
708
00:41:05,813 --> 00:41:07,273
Turn around.
709
00:41:13,778 --> 00:41:16,029
You killed Tommy Stompanato?
710
00:41:16,032 --> 00:41:17,491
And I took the ring.
711
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:24,749
And I performed the ceremony of
Anubis to unlock its ancient power.
712
00:41:25,583 --> 00:41:26,792
And now...
713
00:41:27,752 --> 00:41:29,417
I...
714
00:41:29,420 --> 00:41:31,461
am...
715
00:41:31,464 --> 00:41:32,715
immortal!
716
00:41:34,467 --> 00:41:37,885
Well, the wackadoo that
killed Tommy Stompanato.
717
00:41:37,887 --> 00:41:39,803
Willy? I didn't think you had it in you.
718
00:41:39,805 --> 00:41:43,182
Larry should have never
sold Stompanato that ring.
719
00:41:43,184 --> 00:41:45,061
Neither of them even knew what they had.
720
00:41:48,647 --> 00:41:50,773
I knew all about the ring.
721
00:41:50,775 --> 00:41:53,319
I'm the one who hired
Lucky Larry to steal it.
722
00:41:54,070 --> 00:41:56,030
Now put the gun down and hand it over.
723
00:42:03,204 --> 00:42:04,286
Gertie.
724
00:42:04,288 --> 00:42:05,287
How could you?
725
00:42:05,289 --> 00:42:07,124
Because it was my plan.
726
00:42:08,167 --> 00:42:09,583
I tracked down the ring.
727
00:42:09,585 --> 00:42:13,420
I told Lucky Larry how
and when to steal it.
728
00:42:13,422 --> 00:42:15,091
I even told him he could have everything
729
00:42:15,094 --> 00:42:16,761
in the safe if he just gave me the ring.
730
00:42:17,676 --> 00:42:19,258
And what'd he do?
731
00:42:19,261 --> 00:42:22,721
Sold it to some lovesick
wiseguy who wound up killing him.
732
00:42:22,723 --> 00:42:23,806
Time out!
733
00:42:23,808 --> 00:42:26,266
So both Gertie and Willy
learned about the ring
734
00:42:26,268 --> 00:42:28,060
from Melvin the Magnificent?
735
00:42:28,062 --> 00:42:29,188
Correct. Mm.
736
00:42:30,356 --> 00:42:33,023
Gertie hired Lucky
Larry to steal the ring,
737
00:42:33,025 --> 00:42:35,360
but instead he betrayed her and sold
738
00:42:35,363 --> 00:42:37,694
it to Stompanato for a higher price.
739
00:42:37,696 --> 00:42:40,197
But then Stompanato
killed Larry out of revenge
740
00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:42,199
for stealing his girl's
ring in the first place?
741
00:42:42,201 --> 00:42:43,867
Indeed. But...
742
00:42:43,869 --> 00:42:45,619
unfortunately for Stompanato,
743
00:42:45,621 --> 00:42:48,330
Willy the Sausage Prince
also wanted the ring,
744
00:42:48,332 --> 00:42:50,290
and rips the mobster's heart out
745
00:42:50,292 --> 00:42:54,086
in an all-too-real version of Melvin
the Magnificent's fake cult ceremony
746
00:42:54,088 --> 00:42:55,462
in order to make it work.
747
00:42:55,464 --> 00:42:56,507
Huh?
748
00:42:57,967 --> 00:43:00,717
Forget it, Trix. It's Chinatown.
749
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,136
It's what?
750
00:43:02,138 --> 00:43:05,224
Never mind. Would you like to
hear the rest of the story or not?
751
00:43:06,057 --> 00:43:08,224
Now, I don't want to hurt anyone.
752
00:43:08,227 --> 00:43:09,685
But I need to save Bill.
753
00:43:09,687 --> 00:43:12,312
Jewelry isn't going to
save your husband, Gertie.
754
00:43:12,314 --> 00:43:13,888
You're lying!
755
00:43:13,891 --> 00:43:15,607
You're lying.
756
00:43:15,609 --> 00:43:17,776
I saw you that night in the alley.
757
00:43:17,778 --> 00:43:19,069
You got caught in the crossfire
758
00:43:19,071 --> 00:43:22,156
between the Stompanato Boys
and the Brooklyn Bridge Gang.
759
00:43:22,158 --> 00:43:26,535
You got shot half a dozen
times and walked away.
760
00:43:26,537 --> 00:43:27,453
I see.
761
00:43:27,455 --> 00:43:30,706
But that had nothing
to do with a magic ring.
762
00:43:30,708 --> 00:43:32,458
There's no such thing.
763
00:43:32,460 --> 00:43:33,584
That can't be true.
764
00:43:33,586 --> 00:43:36,920
Let's just settle this rigamarole
once and for all, shall we?
765
00:43:36,922 --> 00:43:38,075
What?
766
00:43:42,261 --> 00:43:43,427
You shot me!
767
00:43:43,429 --> 00:43:44,553
Yes, I did.
768
00:43:44,555 --> 00:43:45,890
I'm bleeding out.
769
00:43:46,807 --> 00:43:48,306
Bleeding out.
770
00:43:48,309 --> 00:43:52,646
Well, that's a lot of bellyaching
for a guy who loves war.
771
00:43:58,819 --> 00:43:59,862
It's not real.
772
00:44:03,657 --> 00:44:04,781
I can't save him.
773
00:44:04,783 --> 00:44:06,535
Of course you can't.
774
00:44:07,286 --> 00:44:11,872
So why risk everything trying?
775
00:44:11,874 --> 00:44:13,542
Gertie, you could have died.
776
00:44:16,921 --> 00:44:18,003
My stomach...
777
00:44:18,005 --> 00:44:19,215
We all die, Lily.
778
00:44:21,258 --> 00:44:22,301
And that's okay.
779
00:44:25,221 --> 00:44:26,525
Truth is...
780
00:44:27,598 --> 00:44:30,851
I'd rather die today trying
to save the man I love...
781
00:44:33,395 --> 00:44:35,064
than live forever without him.
782
00:44:44,448 --> 00:44:45,783
Oh, Gertie.
783
00:44:49,703 --> 00:44:52,079
I am too rich to go to jail!
784
00:44:52,081 --> 00:44:53,413
No!
785
00:44:53,415 --> 00:44:55,709
You call my father! Call my father!
786
00:44:57,503 --> 00:44:59,588
Call my father!
787
00:45:04,468 --> 00:45:06,095
There's two ways this can go.
788
00:45:07,805 --> 00:45:10,347
Either the Sausage Prince
gets what's coming to him
789
00:45:10,349 --> 00:45:12,849
and we pin Stompanato for the rest,
790
00:45:12,851 --> 00:45:14,562
or we get the lady bartender involved.
791
00:45:15,771 --> 00:45:17,690
Your call if you want to press charges.
792
00:45:25,698 --> 00:45:28,367
Let her enjoy whatever
time Bill has left.
793
00:45:34,790 --> 00:45:37,793
Well, you're an odd
duck, but it's been...
794
00:45:38,586 --> 00:45:40,002
It's been real interesting.
795
00:45:40,004 --> 00:45:41,378
Mm.
796
00:45:41,380 --> 00:45:42,923
You take care of yourself, kid.
797
00:45:45,175 --> 00:45:46,592
You too, old man.
798
00:45:54,018 --> 00:45:55,476
Hey, Shirl.
799
00:45:55,479 --> 00:45:56,812
Um...
800
00:45:57,563 --> 00:45:59,064
So what time's your bus?
801
00:46:00,399 --> 00:46:01,742
Midnight.
802
00:46:04,554 --> 00:46:05,738
Oh, yeah.
803
00:46:06,989 --> 00:46:09,867
So if you hurry, um,
you can still make it.
804
00:46:12,461 --> 00:46:13,621
Yeah.
805
00:46:20,148 --> 00:46:21,378
Shirl!
806
00:46:26,258 --> 00:46:27,758
Um...
807
00:46:27,761 --> 00:46:28,969
I, uh...
808
00:46:30,387 --> 00:46:31,847
I was thinking if...
809
00:46:33,849 --> 00:46:35,687
If it's all right with you...
810
00:46:38,479 --> 00:46:40,125
maybe I could come with you.
811
00:46:42,024 --> 00:46:43,692
It's a long ride to Des Moines, Jack.
812
00:46:45,851 --> 00:46:47,002
Good.
813
00:46:49,198 --> 00:46:50,532
Give us a chance to talk.
814
00:46:53,077 --> 00:46:54,523
Come here.
815
00:47:04,338 --> 00:47:07,547
So, ring returned, favor repaid.
816
00:47:07,549 --> 00:47:09,009
See you in a few hundred years.
817
00:47:12,687 --> 00:47:13,929
No.
818
00:47:13,931 --> 00:47:18,225
Well, you drive a hard bargain, but
fine, I'll throw in a castle as well.
819
00:47:18,227 --> 00:47:21,563
I have a lovely 22-bedroom in
Austria, hardly got bombed at all.
820
00:47:22,481 --> 00:47:24,189
I don't want a castle.
821
00:47:24,191 --> 00:47:26,276
Well, now you're just being difficult.
822
00:47:27,111 --> 00:47:28,517
Cortés.
823
00:47:29,863 --> 00:47:31,196
Montezuma.
824
00:47:31,198 --> 00:47:33,075
Willy the Sausage Prince.
825
00:47:33,992 --> 00:47:36,078
They all think they
want to live forever.
826
00:47:37,871 --> 00:47:40,874
But they already have
something so much more precious.
827
00:47:42,584 --> 00:47:44,002
Gertie was right.
828
00:47:45,796 --> 00:47:47,339
It's knowing there's an end.
829
00:47:49,299 --> 00:47:51,343
That's what makes the rest of it count.
830
00:47:52,469 --> 00:47:55,008
That's what connects
them to one another.
831
00:47:55,806 --> 00:47:59,226
What makes them brave, even
when they have no reason to be.
832
00:48:01,234 --> 00:48:03,522
I think I've been immortal long enough.
833
00:48:19,872 --> 00:48:22,341
I want you to have it.
834
00:48:25,002 --> 00:48:27,755
Once you do this, there's no going back.
835
00:48:28,881 --> 00:48:30,215
Are you sure?
836
00:48:32,225 --> 00:48:33,425
Just one thing.
837
00:48:33,427 --> 00:48:35,679
And it never ends with you, does it?
838
00:48:36,430 --> 00:48:38,514
Although I suppose it will now.
839
00:48:41,769 --> 00:48:44,688
Would you like me to bring
your children up to say goodbye?
840
00:48:46,398 --> 00:48:48,400
And undo everything
they've learned in Hell?
841
00:48:48,903 --> 00:48:50,152
Never.
842
00:48:51,195 --> 00:48:52,654
My children are perfect.
843
00:48:53,798 --> 00:48:54,958
They can't be...
844
00:48:55,616 --> 00:48:57,743
banished, because they have no home.
845
00:48:58,494 --> 00:49:01,787
Can't be abandoned,
because they have no family.
846
00:49:01,789 --> 00:49:04,623
They'll never be cast out
of the proverbial garden.
847
00:49:04,625 --> 00:49:06,960
You can never tell them what
I've done today, Lucifer.
848
00:49:09,379 --> 00:49:11,465
Not if they are going to be unbreakable.
849
00:49:12,508 --> 00:49:13,801
Well, you have my word.
850
00:49:15,677 --> 00:49:17,093
Well...
851
00:49:17,095 --> 00:49:18,972
I never thought I'd say this, but...
852
00:49:20,057 --> 00:49:22,015
enjoy the rest of your life.
853
00:49:28,690 --> 00:49:29,856
Right back at you.
854
00:49:58,220 --> 00:50:00,848
That ring has Lilith's
immortality inside it?
855
00:50:03,058 --> 00:50:04,432
Yes.
856
00:50:04,434 --> 00:50:05,686
I suppose it does.
857
00:50:07,104 --> 00:50:11,191
Though, as far as I'm concerned,
the only thing special about it is...
858
00:50:13,235 --> 00:50:14,945
it reminds me of an old friend.
859
00:50:17,573 --> 00:50:20,031
So, what happened to Jack and Shirley?
860
00:50:20,033 --> 00:50:21,908
Did they live happily ever after?
861
00:50:21,910 --> 00:50:25,120
Well, they moved to Des Moines, so...
862
00:50:25,123 --> 00:50:26,197
probably not.
863
00:50:27,791 --> 00:50:29,863
My mom says dealing with your problems
864
00:50:29,866 --> 00:50:31,672
is the only way to get past them.
865
00:50:32,921 --> 00:50:36,133
I bet Jack and Shirley talked the
whole bus ride and fixed everything.
866
00:50:37,801 --> 00:50:39,050
Yes.
867
00:50:39,052 --> 00:50:40,345
Yes, perhaps they did.
868
00:50:42,014 --> 00:50:43,305
Right.
869
00:50:43,307 --> 00:50:44,516
Story time's over.
870
00:50:53,942 --> 00:50:56,860
Thanks, Lucifer. This was fun.
871
00:50:56,862 --> 00:50:58,530
Don't exaggerate.
872
00:51:07,205 --> 00:51:08,582
You got the story?
873
00:51:16,798 --> 00:51:18,425
I taught you well, kid.
874
00:51:22,846 --> 00:51:25,724
Once upon a time, the
Devil went to New York City.
875
00:51:26,391 --> 00:51:28,518
The year was 1946.
876
00:52:11,979 --> 00:52:13,480
Are you Lily Rose?
877
00:52:17,275 --> 00:52:18,485
Who wants to know?
878
00:52:20,570 --> 00:52:21,821
It's me.
879
00:52:21,824 --> 00:52:23,470
Mazikeen.
880
00:52:26,375 --> 00:52:30,548
Lucifer told you that
I was here, didn't he?
881
00:52:31,872 --> 00:52:35,708
You'd think the Devil would be
better at keeping his trap shut.
882
00:52:35,711 --> 00:52:38,211
No, I found you all on my own.
883
00:52:38,213 --> 00:52:39,860
Have you...
884
00:52:39,863 --> 00:52:42,215
been here all this time?
885
00:52:42,217 --> 00:52:44,761
I gave something a
shot. It didn't work out.
886
00:52:45,846 --> 00:52:47,262
That's it?
887
00:52:47,264 --> 00:52:48,932
That's all you have to say to me?
888
00:52:50,183 --> 00:52:51,435
What do you want from me?
889
00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:55,022
I wanted to come and see you.
890
00:52:59,841 --> 00:53:02,135
I wanted to know why you abandoned us.
891
00:53:04,072 --> 00:53:05,490
Why you abandoned me.
892
00:53:07,265 --> 00:53:10,143
I did it to make you
strong, and it worked.
893
00:53:11,496 --> 00:53:12,956
