Gabriel, your eyes.
The Darkness is inside you.
If there is even a chance that Lucifer is alive,
best I go to this town you speak of and find out for myself.
But I won't be going alone.
A dyad shares control of the body with the human soul.
Symbiosis.
And who are you?
Duma, a soldier of Gabriel.
Aah!

Julian's army.

Alex, Alex. Are you okay?

I've seen this before.
Did we hold the tunnel?

You can't do that again.
We need to get out of here,

We're in the dark down here.
Wait, hold your fire.

He'd never do this.

The child's death will break Michael's fever over the humans

Lucifer had such good intentions.
But he created this modern world,
all this ugliness,
gave the humans fire,
knowledge, war.
He went against Father's wishes and changed everything.
[struggling to breathe]
He, more than anyone,
is responsible for driving Father away.
Can you imagine what it would mean if he came back?
But I was there.
We destroyed him using Father's wrath.
There's no coming back from that.
What did you do?
I didn't destroy his body.
I took it out to sea.
Why?
He was our older brother, the greatest of us,
the only one touched like Father with the power of creation.
I couldn't see his like leave this world in ashes.
He deserved better, a burial with honor.
A burial at sea doesn't resurrect.
You don't add water and, bingo,
get another Lucifer.
That's what I thought till I came to this place.
[laughs]
Wait, wait, wait.
[laughs]
I think you're right.
I think I hear...
absolutely nothing!
I tire of this game.
Lucifer is dead!
Still!
Time to die, Michael.
And afterwards,
I'm going to burn the house of this false god to the ground.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.

If he's a dyad, yes.
Claire, he was dying.
Now he's driving to Vega at the head of Delphi's army.
Julian changed him.
That means the angel knows what Riesen knows,

Okay, so if he's still in there,

In the tunnel under the Luxor.

No, you wanted her dead. I wanted Vega.

I have to make amends, get her to safety.

Claire, did you miss the part
about him killing every single human in the city?
The angel is not looking to negotiate.
He's not your father.
The angel is in control.
We have to get you out of Vega.
No, you're too important.

You have as good a reason as any.
Just do it.

You deserve to suffer, alone and scared.
It won't be anything new, son.
[grunts] Get out of my sight!
Last time we spoke, you said this city wasn't yours.
- Why'd you come back? - For you.
I have a helicopter by Whele Tower

Hopefully, my pilot's still alive, but the longer we talk,
the less likely that becomes.
I can take us all to Helena.

Take it now for both of us.
Get to safety, so I can do what needs to be done.
You need to live, Claire... if not for you, for me,

This is good-bye, isn't it?
No.
Don't you dare let him kill you.

Okay.
Claire, come, come.
Citizens, you are to deliver your Chosen One,

You should keep that out.

It was so strong.
You will be judged but not yet.

Oh, the plot thickens, Michael.

Lucifer had many talents, one of them healing.
Does he still?
Oh, please, I beg you.
If you can, save him!
- I'm sorry, Michael. - Ask him!
Lucifer believed in a balance, in the scales of all things,

That is a debt owed, and I expect it to be paid.
