The opening sequence ended with the Prince of Lust sitting down at a garden bench, leaving enough space for someone else.
The episode continued with Policeman Butler putting down the receiver of a payphone.
Watching the rain from the shade of the booth, he puffed out a plume of smoke and tossed the cigarette in the storm.
He had just informed Lucifer about the death of Asmodeus, and his distraught façade had worked perfectly.
Mammon had instructed him to steal Toni Altobelli's ring from the evidence room and place it in Asmodeus's mouth to make it seem like the Altobelli family had ordered the hit.
It was a gold ring with inscriptions signifying the crime family. With such a thing present, there would not have been any second-guessing about the killers and their motives.
Revenge was a strong motivator, after all.
He had only two tasks:
Alter the crime scene.
And delay the news from reaching his brothers.
But the corrupt policeman had done the exact opposite.
