LUCIFER Revised Network Draft (011615) Written by Tom Kapinos LUCIFER Revised Network Draft (011615) Written by Tom Kapinos LUCIFER Pilot by Tom Kapinos 1/16/15 © 2015 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

FADE IN: EXT. CITY OF ANGELS - NIGHT A ‘63 Cadillac convertible, black on black, sails down Sunset, cruising through the adult Disneyland that is nighttime Los Angeles. Neon and billboards reflected on the windshield. The Neptunes’ remix of the Stones’ “Sympathy For The Devil” on the radio. BEHIND THE WHEEL The Devil himself. Say hello to LUCIFER MORNINGSTAR. He’s good-looking, a man of considerable wealth and taste, but that’s not what makes him jump off the screen. It’s his vibe. Pure lusty mischief. Sardonic smile. Timeless style. And yes... He’s 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. So what’s he doing up north? More on that later. Because right now, Lucifer is getting pulled over for speeding. A MOTORCYCLE COP approaches the car. Yells over the music. COP CAN YOU TURN DOWN THE MUSIC, SIR?! Lucifer turns down the volume. LUCIFER You know what they say, officer... (off his look) If it’s getting too loud, you’re getting too old. COP 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. It’s okay. I understand. (smiles) I like to punish people too. (MORE) 2. LUCIFER (CONT'D) (a wistful aside) Or at least I used to... COP Do you have any idea how fast you were going? LUCIFER Haven’t a clue. I blame it on the Stones. They just make a man wanna drive, ya know what I mean? The cop pauses for a moment, thoughtful. COP Sometimes I put my siren on and I drive really fast for no reason at all. Just ‘cause I can. LUCIFER Right?! And why wouldn’t you? It’s fun! It feels good to get away with things, doesn’t it? The cop smiles. Chuckles. It does feel good. But then he catches himself. He doesn’t know why he just shared a guilty pleasure with a complete stranger. LUCIFER (CONT’D) It’s okay, officer. People like to tell me things. Secrets, desires, their deepest, darkest thoughts. Must be something about this face. COP (all biz now) License and registration. LUCIFER Coming right up... Lucifer fishes a hundred out of his wallet, proffers it... COP Are you trying to bribe me, sir? LUCIFER Yes, of course. Why, is that not enough? Here, take more, it’s only money. COP It’s against the law, sir. 3. LUCIFER You people are funny about your laws. You break the law sometimes, don’t you? The cop nods. It’s almost involuntary. LUCIFER (CONT’D) Do tell. COP Sometimes I’ll pull a woman over for a minor infraction and get her to flash me a little something. LUCIFER You dirty dog you... COP Sometimes I let her off with a warning. Sometimes I don’t. Sometimes other stuff happens... LUCIFER (shakes his head) LA’s finest... (nods at the cash) You’re tempted to keep that, aren’t you? (off the cop’s nod) So what are you waiting for? Permission? Keep it! Buy yourself something pretty. You deserve it. But if you don’t mind, I really must be on my way... The cop takes the money and puts it in his pocket. COP Okay, sir, you have a nice day. LUCIFER You too, officer. Lucifer dimes the radio and ROARS off -- leaving one very dazed and confused cop in his wake. As he goes, we see the Caddy’s rear vanity plate, which reads, HAILS8N.” SMASH to BLACK -- followed by a TITLE CARD: LUCIFER 4. EXT. LUX - NIGHT Lucifer pulls up in front of his bar, Lux. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but there’s a long line of HOLLYWOOD HIPSTERS dying to get in. Lucifer parks in front. Gets out and backslaps a MAMMOTH BOUNCER. Handpicks a trio of BEAUTIFUL WOMEN off the line. Bouncer waves them in. The BOYFRIENDS start to follow, but the Bouncer stops them. ONE OF THE GIRLS Hey, what about our boyfriends? Lucifer looks at the girls for a moment, smiles. LUCIFER Where you’re going, there are no boyfriends... The girls look at each other, shrug and laugh. They bounce into the bar, leaving their boyfriends behind without a look. We follow Lucifer... INT. LUX - CONTINUOUS ...into Lux, a little bit of Hell on earth. A living, breathing tribute to Lucifer’s favorite things -- wine, women and song. Lucifer glides through his dark, shadowy establishment, 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. A vision in black leather. But she’s always been just MAZE to Lucifer. She looks up, sees him, blows the hair out of her eyes, annoyed. MAZE Where’ve you been? LUCIFER Holed up at the Chateau. Copulating with a young woman who wears clothes for a living. Maze shakes her head, disgusted. Her eyes flash a demonic shade of red. Which would be weird if Maze was just your garden variety gal. But she’s far from it. Maze is actually a fierce demon in the form of a beautiful young woman. 5. LUCIFER (CONT’D) (smiles) Have I ever told you how incredibly sexy you are when you can’t control your emotions? MAZE And what emotions might those be? LUCIFER Why, jealousy, of course. MAZE Try anger. LUCIFER How could you possibly be angry with your master? MAZE Because my master wastes his precious time carrying on with all these insignificant little twits. You’re the Lord of Hell, for chrisssake. You might conduct yourself with a shred more dignity. LUCIFER I’m retired, Maze. I’ve got nothing but time. And if it makes you feel any better, I wasn’t that into it. I ended up servicing the poor girl solely out of a sense of duty. Perhaps there’s such a thing as too much hedonism. Maze just stares at him for a beat. MAZE What is going on with you, Lucifer? This is not my master speaking. I’m disturbed. LUCIFER Look, I quit Hell because I was sick and tired of playing a part in His plan. I believe in free will, not the tyranny of his predestination hoo-ha. But lately I keep wondering if I’m the devil because I’m inherently evil or simply because my father decided I was? Is this a classic case of labeling? What do you think? 6. MAZE I think you have some serious Daddy issues. LUCIFER Maybe I should see a therapist. Like the rest of Los Angeles. MAZE Speaking of dear ol’ Dad, looks like you have a visitor... Maze nods out an oddly intense man with long white hair sitting at the end of the bar. This is AMENADIEL. Lucifer walks over, slaps him on the back, sits down next to him. LUCIFER Amenadude! How’s it hanging, big guy? Didn’t you see the sign? “No angels allowed”? No? Hmm, maybe we should be using a bigger font... AMENADIEL He sent me. LUCIFER Yes, I know. Just like the last time. And the time before that. AMENADIEL Your return has been requested. LUCIFER Oh, okay, let me check my calendar. Yep, here it is. The seventh of Never? Through the fifteenth of Ain’t Gonna Happen? How’s that work for you guys? Amenadiel just stares at him -- grim, unamused. LUCIFER (CONT'D) I’m consistently surprised by the whole no sense of humor thing. AMENADIEL He will not be pleased. LUCIFER Yeah, what’s new and different? The old man has never been particularly pleased with me. 7. AMENADIEL Do not disrespect the Heavenly Father in my presence. LUCIFER Hey, he’s my father, not yours. I can say whatever the hell I want. AMENADIEL You are a mockery of everything divine. LUCIFER Thank you! Amenadiel looks at Lucifer. He’s disappointed. AMENADIEL Is there nothing you care about, Lucifer? Nothing you hold sacred? Nothing at all? That said, Amenadiel gets up and walks out, leaving Lucifer to consider his words. EXT. LUX - NIGHT Lucifer stands outside, smoking, still thinking about what Amenadiel said to him. That’s when A BLACK ESCALADE slows to a stop in front of Lux. The rear window rolls down. A beautiful face appears. This is DELILAH. She’s a hot mess tabloid sensation of a rock star. Just about the biggest thing in the universe right now. DELILAH Remember me...? Lucifer smiles, pleased. LUCIFER Delilah! You’re a big star now. Can I have your autograph? INT. LUX - NIGHT Lucifer and Delilah at the bar. 8. LUCIFER Why’d you come back? DELILAH Lux has always been this touchstone for me. Reminds me of who I was and who I wanted to be before everything got so big and messy. (then) How did you do it...? LUCIFER What do you mean? DELILAH Come on -- you took me in off the street, you gave me a job, you let me sing up there anytime I wanted.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

    Lucifer (DC Comics) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lucifer Morningstar is a DC Comics character appearing Lucifer primarily as a supporting character in the comic book series The Sandman and as the title character of a spin-off, both published under the Vertigo imprint. Though various depictions of Lucifer – the Biblical fallen angel and Devil of the Abrahamic religions – have been presented by DC Comics in their run, this interpretation by Neil Gaiman debuted in The Sandman in 1989. Like many modern interpretations of Satan, DC's Lucifer owes much to the character's portrayal in John Milton's epic poem Paradise Lost, though Gaiman adapts the character to fit the fictional DC The title character from the cover of Lucifer Universe where their comics are #16, artist Christopher Moeller. set, where the character exists Publication information alongside superheroes and deities from multiple religions.

His first novel, Neverwhere, was his attempt to fill in the blanks left by the television series with the same name, by writing down, everything that he could not fit into the restrictive television format. This paper analyses the novel through the lens of structuralism and poststructuralism, in order to reveal inherent social critique, artfully concealed in a game of complex urban imagery, chronotopic structures and intertextual references. KEY WORDS: urban fantasy, urban hell, intertextuality, chronotope, Neverwhere, Neil Gaiman RESumEN Neil Gaiman es un aclamado autor británico de novelas, relatos breves, guiones cine- matográficos, novelas gráficas y obras para la radio. Su primera novela, Neverwhere, fue su intento de rellenar los espacios en blanco de la serie de televisión con el mismo nombre, añadiendo todo lo que no podía encajar en el restrictivo formato televisivo. Este artículo analiza la novela a través de la óptica del estructuralismo y el postestruc- turalismo, con el fin de revelar la crítica social inherente, oculta artísticamente bajo un un juego de imágenes urbanas complejas, estructuras cronotópicas y referencias inter- textuales.

  • Modern Myth in Neil Gaiman's American Gods (2001)
    UNIVERSITY OF JYVÄSKYLÄ IMAGINARY THINGS: MODERN MYTH IN NEIL GAIMAN'S AMERICAN GODS (2001) A Pro Gradu Thesis by Matti Delahay Department of Languages 2009 HUMANISTINEN TIEDEKUNTA KIELTEN LAITOS Matti Delahay IMAGINARY THINGS: MODERN MYTH IN NEIL GAIMAN'S AMERICAN GODS (2001) Pro-Gradu tutkielma Englannin kieli Elokuu 2009 101 sivua Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, voiko Neil Gaimanin romaani Unohdetut Jumalat – alkup. American Gods (2001) – täyttää Joseph Campbellin määritelmän mukaiset myytin kriteerit (1949, 1968). Kaunokirjallisuutta on aikaisemminkin verrattu Campbellin teorioihin mytologioista, mutta yleensä formalistisemmin, kiinnittämättä huomiota myyttien funktioihin. Campbell (2001a-f) esittää, että myytit ovat tarjonneet yksilön henkiselle kehitykselle tärkeää tukea, jota tuhansia vuosia sitten kirjoitetut pyhät kirjoitukset eivät nykyaikana enää pysty toisintamaan. Mikäli Unohdetut Jumalat täyttää myytin (funktionaaliset) kriteerit, osoittaa se, että moderni populaarikulttuuri kykenee osaltaan täyttämään vanhentuneiden myyttien jättämää tyhjiötä. Tutkielman teoriaosassa esitellään ensin pohjatiedot Joseph Campbellin teorioista sankarin matka (1949) ja myytin neljä funktiota (1968). Sen jälkeen annetaan tarpeelliset taustatiedot Neil Gaimanista ja romaanista Unohdetut Jumalat (2001) juonitiivistelmineen. Tutkimuksen varsinainen analyysiosa on jaettu kahteen osioon. Ensimmäisessä osiossa erittelen romaanin juonikaarta Campbellin sankarin matka -teorian vaiheiden avulla. Toisessa osiossa vertaan romaanin keskeisiä teemoja

  • Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere and The
    Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the Hermeneutical Inquiry Timothy Andrew John Peoples Thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of Houston in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts In English Margot Backus, Ph.D., Director Maria Gonzalez, Ph.D., English Department Reader Dan Price, Ph.D., Honors College Reader Defended May 2004 Houston, Texas Keywords: British literature, English literature, postmodernism, hermeneutics, contemporary literature, Neil Gaiman, religious studies, time Copyright 2004 Timothy Andrew John Peoples i Minding the Gap: Time in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere and the Hermeneutical Inquiry Tim Peoples ABSTRACT I begin this thesis with a discussion of Neil Gaiman’s career and my interaction with his first novel, Neverwhere . I define time in the novel as the succession and interrelatedness of events and divide this definition into two perceptions: immediacy and graduality. I apply the former to the novel’s separate worlds, which are called London Above and London Below. London Above, in the perception of Richard Mayhew, the main character, favors immediacy and rejects graduality. Though his perception is incomplete, the nature of London Above makes him unsuitable for life there. London Below, on the other hand, exhibits both perceptions. Graduality’s influence on the two worlds shows a departure from Western conceptions of time that makes London Above and London Below a symbiotic that cannot be unified. This symbiosis can be allegorized as the hermeneutical gap. After examining similar concepts in Gaiman’s Stardust and American Gods , I conclude that Gaiman’s writing states that the permanently separated hermeneutical gap allows humanity to reflect upon itself.

Having absorbed the Living Tarot Deck inside of her, wannabe magician Jill Presto has begun manifesting truly magical powers. If he does, this could be right up there with Batman and Wonder Woman as one of the best series of the New The concepts are great, managing to maintain the themes of Snyder's run, all the while standing out as unique stories. The story is not trash. The whole concept of the green is so strange and interesting. I would recommend this volume of Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing is not into the killing humans bit. He's a long-time comic book fan, and can be seen most evenings in Batman pajama pants. I look forward to see where he goes with the character. Alec or Jason view spoiler [aka Seeder hide spoiler ].. He's given the character a set of adversaries and goals that actually feel equal to him, while thoroughly deconstructing the concept of "The Green" that has been present in Swamp Thing ever since Alan Moore's iconic run.
