Yeah, I just choked on the stupid blood capsule.

Yeah, it was sick. You killed it.
This sequence is gonna be amazing.
You know, you're gonna win one of those stunt awards for this.
Well, especially after you get the car chase.
Not sure about that.

Well, true, but it is my job as your attorney.

Still a first.
No, no, no. Don't get me wrong, Charlotte, you are stunning.
Well, I know that.
Come on. What's wrong?
I don't know. Maybe I've been in Los Angeles too long.
Perhaps I need to find someplace new.

Well, then, why don't we sign these commencement papers?
Once you do that

Hmm, well, I am feeling better already.

You seem...
frustrated.
Yeah.

I... I should be excited.
I-I'm shooting Weaponizer 5 and everything's going pretty great.
We have this huge car chase coming up,
and I feel... (exhales)
I feel bored.
It is the fifth time you've played this role.
It'd be normal
if you didn't feel a bit... disenchanted.
Yeah, you're right, you know? Maybe I should try

- And I am good at playing a cop. - You are.
- Mm. - You know, maybe it's just a matter
of approaching it with different eyes.
You've always said that
you wanted to be a positive role model for young women.
And you are.
Girls all over the world see you on-screen, fighting crime,

You're right. Thank you.

Stryder Novac, 28.
Stabbed once to the chest.
Found this on the body.
Figured it didn't have anything to do

Hide it. You see all these eyes on us?
Are we smart or are we dumb?
- We're smart. - We're smart. That's right. Okay.
Did you find the murder weapon?
Not yet.
Who found the body?
Well, if it isn't Detective Dildo of the LAPD.
You still out there leaving crimes unsolved?
Come on, man, Delilah's case was open-and-shut,
if that's what you mean.
Agree to disagree.
Just like this appears to be
a pretty cut-and-dried bar fight.
Ah, yes, of course, going for the easy answer.
But I know in my gut that's not the case here.
- Really? - Absolutely. And I need to prove it.
And why's that?
Because just this morning,
my Vegas expansion deal was frozen
due to this unfortunate murder.
I get it.
You got to pin it on somebody else
so that your brand stays clean.
I don't pin things on anyone.
I just want to find the truth
so the right person is punished for their sins,
and since I know your corrupt little organization
won't solve it...
Morningstar, this is police business.
You better stay out of it,

Must we bring my Father into this?
Though, actually, I suppose
you two blowhards might hit it off.
GOD: My son and I...
Well, let's just say,
I don't think I could change anything
that would make our relationship less...
complicated.
But, then, fathers can have a dramatic impact
on their children's lives, can't they?
Take Chloe Decker.
Her dad died 20 years ago of a gunshot wound.
That loss changed her,
inspired her to follow in his footsteps and become a cop.
So what was that one small thing I changed
that changed everything?
All I did was move a bullet a few inches to the right,

Knock, knock.

So, tell me how the big death scene went yesterday.

your mother said to tell you to tell them that...
Oh, to favor my good side.
- Yeah. - Yeah, I got it.
No, Dad, I'm a-actually here about a friend.
Okay, Chlo, if this is about some drug charge
for your co-star, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
No, no, nothing like that.
Actually, a-a friend of mine was killed last night.
The stuntman?
Oh, you knew him. Oh, Monkey, I'm so sorry.
- I-I had no idea. - It's okay. Thanks.
Dad, do you have any clue what happened?
Well, it's early, but it looks like a bar fight.
No, he wasn't looking for a fight.
He was out celebrating.
Well, how do you know?
- Well, I was with him. - You were?
Yeah, a bunch of us. He just got his dream job,
driving for NASCAR, and I just don't think
he would do anything to screw that up.
Okay, but, look,
i-it's very hard to know everything about somebody.
And the detective on the case is pretty solid on his theory.
Okay, so maybe I could talk to the detective.
Look, I'll pass on what you told me,
but that's as close as you're gonna get
to an active murder investigation.

What is it?
It's a T-handled Torx driver.
Right. Of course it is.
Although the end of this one looks like it's been sharpened.
Maybe to poke a hole in something?
Well, I know that much. It was used in my club
last night to poke a hole in a now-dead young man.
It was used in a murder?
What are you, freakin' loco?

why don't you tell me what you know about this stabby thing,
and I won't tell any actual detectives
about your little enterprise here?
Like I said...
it's a Torx driver, okay?
Nine-inch, alloy steel...
This one looks like it came from some sort of pro racer tool kit,
you know, like NASCAR.
- Well, how can you tell that? - Number stamped on it
is the number of the racer's car,
and the red tape wrapped around the handle...
crews color-code stuff they need for specific jobs.
They don't have time to search for crap.
Oh? Clever.
Something else was stamped on it, too.
But it looks like it's been sanded off.

about a year ago... Stryder was a client.
It was my idea to get him to replace me.
Poor kid. Stryder, he... he was so happy

Well, yeah, it was an opportunity of a lifetime.

In Erika's case, she deals by taking it out
- on my entire stunt team. - Lovely.
Nothing we can't handle.
- Sorry. - Yeah.
All right, when you're finished having a catch-up...
- What? - What was the bigger beef?
Uh, well, Erika got hurt during a stunt
and she was looking forward
to a hefty settlement, but her eyewitness, Stryder,
refused to testify on her behalf
and it-it didn't go over well with Erika.
Oh, so you think she killed him out of revenge?
Or knowing that without an eyewitness,
she'd have a better chance at winning the case.
And reap the windfall.
Right. You know, I'd go talk to Erika,

No, no, he's right.
He's right. I'm not a cop.
I'm an actress.
I mean... who really thought that I could solve a murder?
Well, I did.
And I still do.
There's no evidence, not of anything.
That's not necessarily true,
'cause I just learned that that Erika woman
can put her ankles around my neck.
Okay, that's really not helping right now.
Thank you.
Wait, if she was really injured,
she wouldn't be able to do that.
Precisely. She was faking her injury.
(laughs) And she was very generous with information
after I was very generous with the ol...
Okay, I don't want to know.
Okay. Well, she said that she needed money
and that Stryder refused to lie on her behalf.
But then he said he was coming into a windfall
and could help her out.
Apparently he and a partner were planning on stealing
something very valuable from set.
So maybe Stryder was backing out of this heist
to have a shot at NASCAR.
Well, his partner wouldn't take kindly
to being left high and dry, now, would he?
No. He wouldn't.
So, does that mean you're still in, Detective?
How do we figure out who Stryder was working with on set?
Perhaps the murder weapon will help narrow it down.
Come on.
Okay.
Ah! Ms. Lopez.
Any joy tracing the mark on that murder weapon?
Sort of, yeah, but not really.
This idiot upgraded this poor girl's engine.
(grunts)
Amateurs, am I right?
This is who you gave the murder weapon to?
(sighs) - ELLA: You brought someone
in here with you?
Without asking?
What did I tell you about...
Oh, my God.
It's you.
Bonnie Gennaro? I mean,
I-I know you're not her her, but-but you're her.
I had no idea you were a fan.
My God, are-are you kidding?
Ever since I saw her
shimmy that 1970 Oldsmobile 442's lock
and speed off in The Weaponizer,
she has been my inspiration.
Wait, wait. (chuckles)
I inspired you to steal cars?
Living fast and free, just like Bonnie.
- Just like Bonnie. - I mean, I was thinking
of taking a very different career path,
but the way you brought Bonnie to life,
it-it really spoke to me.
Thank you, but you do know by the end of the movie,
Bonnie did join the police force.
Huh, well, no, I never really watched it to the end.
LUCIFER: Tell me.
What did you find on the murder weapon, or didn't find?
Well, I'm so glad you asked.
(clears throat)
Follow me, please.
It did have something filed off of the handle.
But as far as I can tell, it doesn't really mean anything.
I mean, "Last Lappers"?
Not exactly
a smoking gun.
Wait, I've heard that somewhere before.
LUCIFER: Well, that's the name of the racing team
in the seminal '80s movie Razor's Edge.
Kip Strong's struggle between the love
of a woman and love of a race.
Fantastic movie, with some ve...
Wait, more importantly, our stunt coordinator,
Rogers, he always bragged about working on that.
So if Stryder and Rogers were stealing something together,
and Stryder backed out...
Maybe Rogers killed Stryder to tie up loose ends.
- Let's go talk to him. - Right.
I'll drive.
Thank you, Ms. Lopez.
So great meeting you!
♪♪
- Sir. Excuse me. - (muffled): I can't stop.
Do you know where we can find Ben Rogers?
(muttering) - (stammers) Very helpful, thank you.
Well, look, even if we find him,
how do you plan on confronting him?
It's not like we have proof of his theft.
Unless we wait and catch him in the act.
Okay, so what are the most valuable items on set?
Uh, well, camera equipment
is worth a ton, uh,
wardrobe has a huge resale value.
What about a six-million-dollar car?
What? That's specific. What makes you say that?
Seeing it drive off.
- Right. - I got this.
- What the hell are you doing? - I'm trained for this.
(engine starts)
(tires screeching)
What do you think you're doing, Decker?
Confronting a murderer.
We know you killed Stryder, Ben.
And all because he wouldn't
steal one little car.
I mean, it is lovely, but...
What? I'm not stealing the car,
I'm getting it ready for your stunt tomorrow, Decker.
You know, to keep you safe?
So you're welcome.
We found your prints all over that murder weapon.
- You did? - We did?
We didn't, but now I know
you killed him.
(laughing): Ah.
Nice bit of improvisation there, Ms. Decker.
I don't care what the critics say.
You do have range.
Let's split up. We can't let him get away.
There's nowhere to hide.
(gun clicks)
(laughing): Oh, ho, ho.
Hello, murderer.
I didn't want this, I didn't want any of this.
Well, then, perhaps, you shouldn't have
killed an innocent man.
Stryder's the one who backed out of the deal.
I begged him not to.
He forced my hand.
Just like you, right now.
(gunshot)
(groans)
Now, someone is buying me a new shirt.
What the hell?
Now you're catching on.
(grunts)
Nice takedown, partner.
I heard gunshots, I was worried.
Lucky for you, Rogers must've grabbed a prop gun.
Lucky for me.
Mm-hmm.
LUCIFER:...never rendered anyone unconscious before.
I mean, in real life.
JOHN: Thank God you're all right.
Dad.
- Hey. - Hi.
Confronting a murderer?
What were you thinking,
- being so... - LUCIFER: Foolish?
Rash? Reckless?
(laughing): I've heard this tirade before.
Well, let me educate you, sir.
You underestimate your daughter.
She is...
JOHN: Brave.
I was gonna say "brave."
Right.
(clears throat)
I...
I know I've made mistakes, Chlo.
Lots of them.
But honey, I've never
underestimated you.
Then how come any time
I've ever shown any interest in your job,
you-you either change the subject, or you push me away?
Because you're way smarter than me,
you're more headstrong than your mother
and it scared me.
I mean, what if you wanted to become a cop?
What if I did?
Oh, Monkey.
I've been shot at, beat up,
chased by a naked guy with a harpoon, once.
And...
none of those things scare me as much
as thinking of you in those situations.
It was never about whether you could handle it.
It was whether I could.
And I'm sorry.
But a parent just wants what's best for their child.
It's okay.
I love you so much.
I love you, too, Monkey.
So, I, uh, got a crime scene to clean up now, thanks to you.
(chuckles)
(sighs)
(exhales)
Perhaps our dads aren't so similar after all.
Ah, well, my dad surprised me.
Maybe yours will, too.
(scoffs)
I'm not holding my breath.
GOD: Choice is a funny thing.
Give someone different options, different circumstances,
will they themselves end up different?
Sure, they might end up with a different job,
find inspiration from different people.
But will thez still be the same person at their core?
♪ Like the dolphins ♪
♪ Like dolphins can swim ♪
♪ Though nothing... ♪
Some might continue down a darker path,
never knowing there was a different way.
The potential buried deep down, but still there.
♪ Forever and ever... ♪
Some make immoral choices instead of moral ones.
But they'll still have the same conscience.
The question is,
will they ever make the choice to listen to it?
And sometimes, it isn't the right moment in someone's life
to make a certain choice.
And no matter how badly zou want
to nudge them in the right direction...

And some people find love in the strangest of situations,

♪ Just for one day... ♪
Well, that was quite fun, wasn't it?
Hmm?
Not bad for a half-in-the-bag club owner and an actress.
Well, I...
I don't know if "fun" is the word I would use.
No?
Yeah, but it certainly was fulfilling.
You know, it makes me think
maybe I'm tired
of playing a cop in the movies, you know?
Maybe...
Maybe I'd like to play detective for real.
(laughing): What?
Hang up the glitz and the glamour for a badge
and a naked man with a harpoon?
Yeah.
Oh.
Maybe I'll tag along.
It's never gonna happen.
Care to wager?
GOD: And some, no matter how you shake things up,
end up making the same choices, are drawn to the same people,
the same passions.
So all seems to have ended well.
Does that mean I never should've
manipulated things to begin with?
I have a better question.
Wouldn't you do the same in my shoes?
After all, a parent just wants what's best for their child.
