[STREETS]
[It's nighttime. A woman, Morgan, is walking on the street, she's calling with someone.]
MORGAN: Look, it's for a good cause and 100% of the cover goes to charity. Just tell your friends it's open bar. Cool. I'll send you an invite now.
[Morgan hangs up and starts sending the invite. Then she hears growling. She sees a dark figure a few feet away from her, Lilith's Owl. Nervously, she turns around and starts walking. When she looks back, the Owl is gone. Then he's suddenly in front of her. She screams. She tries to fight him but he pushes her onto the ground. The Owl starts sucking out her soul, but then she grabs pepper spray from her purse and sprays it into the Owl's eyes. She manages to escape. A police officer drives up to the sidewalk.]
CAROLINE: That was a close escape.
OFFICER: What's going on ma'am?
MORGAN: I was attacked by this beast!
[The Owl watches Morgan and the police from a roof.]
[THE INSTITUTE]
[Jace is still investigating the footage. He's sleepy. In the reflection of the screen he sees Valentine.]
VALENTINE: Who are you looking for, Jace?
[Jace turns around and Valentine quickly comes closer. He puts a knife against Jace's throat.]
VALENTINE: I'm right here. Right under your little angelic nose.
JACE: It's you.
VALENTINE: In the flesh. It's exhausting, isn't it? Always being one step behind.
[Jace grabs Valentine's arm, gets up and tries to punch him, but Valentine disappears into thin air.]
BONNIE: Your hallucinations were just getting worse.
CLARY: Jace? Are you okay?
[Clary walks down the steps of the Ops center.]
JACE: Yeah, I'm good.
CLARY: It's 4:00 in the morning. I just got back from patrol, but what are you still doing up?
[Jace has sat down again. Clary approaches him.]
JACE: I have to go through this surveillance footage.
[Jace activates a rune on his upper arm.]
CLARY: By using your Stamina rune? Jace, at some point you've–
JACE: I can sleep when I find him.
CLARY: You also have to take care of yourself.
[Clary puts her hand on his shoulder.]
JACE: Seven mundanes have been murdered in the last 48 hours. I think I know who's responsible.
Jace looked down in guilt. Clary comforted him.
CLARY: You ID'ed the Owl?
JACE: The Clave has no record of an owl-faced demon or a demon that possesses people that way. That face has to be a glamour.
CLARY: Who? Who'd wanna hide themselves?
JACE: I think the Owl is Valentine.
KOL: I can bet hundred dollars that the owl wasn't Valentine.
JACE: You are right, the owl wasn't him.
KEELIN: Then, who was the owl?
CLARY: You will see.
MAGNUS: I have no idea.
[INTRO IS SHOWN]
Rosaline opens her eyes and flashes her alpha eyes who had golden hue. She swings her katanas and fearless rune is showed. Theodore's magical bow appears and he stretches its string forming the strength rune. Jonathan is shown showing his demon eyes and his seraph blade appears. He cuts the air and flexibility rune is show. Clary is seen blowing the candles on her birthday cake forming the angelic rune. Jace is seen jumping from a building with eagles surrounding him. He jumps on the ground splashing the water which forms heightened speed rune. Alec is seen a room with healing rune drawn on one of the walls. He aims his arrow. Isabelle is now shown swinging her blade forming the parabatai rune. Simon is seen wiping the blood on his lips in hotel de mort. The whole background turns black and white. Luke is seen with a wall behind him covered with runes and wolves. Magnus is drinking his cocktail. Scene splits and shows Theo and Rose using their magic and flashing their golden red eyes. Then all the runes are shown burning and Rosaline, Theo, Clary, Jace, Jonathan, Alec and Isabelle are shown walking and the title Shadowhunter appears with The Mortal Instruments written below. And the screen turns black.
[TITLE SCREEN]
[HUNTER'S MOON]
[The bar is empty. Luke, Simon, and Maia are there. Luke is on the phone.]
LUKE: All right. Just give me a call if anything changes.
[Luke hangs up the phone.]
SIMON: Please tell me he's okay.
LUKE: He's pretty banged up. You broke his hip and shattered his knee.
REBEKAH: You beat the shit out of him.
SIMON: Oh, no.
MAIA: At least wolves heal fast.
LUKE: Not in this case. He's not healing the way he should.
SIMON: Great. They wanted me dead before this happened.
LUKE: Just lay low and steer clear of the Jade Wolf. I'm gonna go smooth things over with the pack.
[Luke exits.]
SIMON: I don't understand. I didn't even touch him.
MAIA: You didn't have to. It was your forehead. It was glowing with, like, a mark or something. It looked like this.
[Maia draws the mark on a napkin and gives it to Simon.]
SIMON: "You walk in the daylight, darkness will follow."
MAIA: Hmm?
SIMON: The Seelie Queen said it to me before she tattooed this on my face.
[Simon goes to the door.]
MAIA: Where are you going?
SIMON: To pay Her Majesty a little visit.
MAIA: Simon, wait. She gave you that mark before she let you go. You going back could be exactly what her messed-up, little Seelie brain wants. She could trap you there forever.
SIMON: I can't just crawl in some hole and hide. Maybe Clary's seen this before. I have to find out what this is.
[JADE WOLF, OUTSIDE]
[Luke is meeting up with Russell.]
RUSSELL: Whatever that vampire did, Glenn may never walk again.
HAYLEY: They, shouldn't have attacked him at the first time.
LUKE: Well, he shouldn't have come after Simon in the first place.
RUSSELL: You're defending him?
LUKE: No, I'm just saying the wolf was out of line. You all were.
ENZO: You were right.
RUSSELL: What the hell do you expect? You put a filthy vampire under our noses, allowed him to sleep with our women. What's next?
LUKE: Maia is not anyone's woman. And drop the bass in your voice when you talk to me.
RUSSELL: We're werewolves, Luke. Having a vampire here is asking for trouble, let alone one with that kind of power.
LUKE: Look, Simon said he didn't mean to hurt anybody. I believe him. He's a good kid, all right?
RUSSELL: I get it. He's like a son to you. But you get this. We're your pack. We're the ones you're supposed to protect.
LUKE: And I will. I just don't wanna act until I know exactly what's going on.
RUSSELL: Sooner or later, you're gonna have to pick a side.
[Russell enters the Jade Wolf.]
[THE INSTITUTE, ARMORY]
[Magnus enters the armory where Alec, Jonathan, Theo, Rose and Izzy are.]
MAGNUS: There you are. Good news, the core is off the ley line grid and free of demonic corruption.
ALEC: [flat] That's good news. Thank you.
[Alec sighs.]
MAGNUS: All righty, then. I'll make myself scarce.
ISABELLE: We just got a fire message from Mom.
THEO: Saying she's "dropping by" for an impromptu "family dinner".
DAMON: There are so much air quotes.
MAGNUS: Those are a lot of air quotes.
ALEC: Mom doesn't just drop by for anything.
ISABELLE: Yeah, we're thinking it has to do with her and Dad.
ROSE: They're finally making their divorce official.
MARYSE: Should have done it before.
MAGNUS: My condolences.
THEO: It's for the best. Problem is, instead of just being sad like a normal person, she starts trying to fix everyone around her.
ALEC: Which usually includes grilling her children on everything she thinks is going wrong in their lives.
MARYSE: I am not that bad.
ROSE: No, you are not.
MAGNUS: So, where are you holding this suspenseful dinner?
ISABELLE: Defintely not here.
ALEC: The Institute tends to bring out her inner Inquisitor.
MAGNUS: How about my place?
ALEC: Magnus, you don't have to–
MAGNUS: I insist. You can have the place all to yourselves.
ISABELLE: Wait, you should be there. Even Jonathan should be there.
ROSE: She is right.
[Magnus smile fades and he shakes his head. Jonathan also does the same.]
JONATHAN: I can't say about Magnus but me being there, isn't a good option.
THEO: You should be there.
ISABELLE: Think about it. If Magnus is there, being his usual charming self, Mom won't have time to interrogate us.
MAGNUS: I am charming.
ALEC: You don't think it's too much?
MAGNUS: 'Too much' is my middle name.
MAGNUS: "Too much" is my middle name. [Alec smiles.] Look, clearly this is important to you. Ergo, it's important to me. Hmm?
JONATHAN: Well, I am also all in.
[NURSING HOME GARDEN]
[It's nighttime. Rosa is holding on to Raphael's arm. They're walking towards a bench.]
ROSA: Of all the workers in the nursing home, you are my favorite one.
RAPHAEL: I don't work at the nursing home, Rosa. I'm just a friend.
ROSA: Oh, whoever you are, I'm having a ball.
RAPHAEL: Me, too.
[They sit down.]
ROSA: You know, there's someone you remind me of. [gasps] My big brother. [Raphael smiles.] What was his name?
RAPHAEL: Raphael.
ROSA: You know him?
RAPHAEL: Yeah, he's told me stories before. When you were a little girl, your family moved here from Mexico City, and you were terribly homesick. Nobody seemed to notice.
ROSA: Except Raphael.
All of them smiled at this scene.
RAPHAEL: And whenever you were feeling down, he'd sneak you up to the roof and point at all the stars. And he said...
ROSA: They're the same stars in Mexico.
RAPHAEL: Yeah.
ROSA: But then he ran away. He never said goodbye.
RAPHAEL: No, no, he did. Remember? [Rosa shakes her head.] The night he left, he, um, came to your room, and gave you one last hug.
ROSA: I don't remember.
RAPHAEL: No, no, he did. He did. He couldn't say why, but it broke his heart to leave. And he promised you, if you ever felt lonely, all you had to do is look up at those stars... [they both look up] and know that your big brother was out there thinking of you.
All of them had tears in their eyes at this moment.
[Raphael gathers himself and sighs. Then his phone buzzes.]
[HOTEL DUMORT]
[Raphael is rushing through the hallways. He encounters a vamp.]
RAPHAEL: Is she downstairs?
MAN: I've never seen her like this.
[HOTEL DUMORT, BASEMENT]
[Heidi is sitting on the floor, playing in a pool of blood. She has blood all over her body and face.]
KOL: She is a messy eater.
HEIDI: I know it's bad to play with your food.
[She bites into the blood bag and chuckles.]
HEIDI: I was bored, being cooped up against my will and all.
RAPHAEL: Heidi, you need your rest. You're still adjusting.
[Heidi stands up and in a flash she stands before Raphael.]
HEIDI: Trust me, I'm adjusted. Thank you for bringing me back from the grave, but now it's time to meet my sire.
DAMON: Simon's blood turned him, right?
SIMON: Right. And she became completely obsessed with me.
RAPHAEL: We talked about this. You can meet him when it's time.
HEIDI: It is time! [groans] I've been going to bleeder dens since I was 16. I know more than you think. And keeping me here and burning me, that's not normal. Either you can let me go, or I can make you.
RAPHAEL: Okay. If you wanna go, I can't stop you.
HEIDI: Well, that wasn't so bad, was it? [turns her back to Raphael and picks up the blood bag] I'm just gonna take this little guy for the road.
[Raphael swoops in, turns Heidi around before she can attack and tranquillizes her with serum. He puts her down on the ground.]
STEFAN: He again tranquilised her.
RAPHAEL: I'm sorry.
[THE INSTITUTE, LIBRARY]
[Clary is sitting at a desk flipping through a book. Maia and Simon are with her.]
CLARY: You sure this is what it looked like?
MAIA: I know I'm no Picasso, but...
SIMON: Actually, Picasso was an abstract... [looks at Maia, she looks back] Never mind.
MAIA: [pointing at the napkin] This is what I saw on his forehead.
CLARY: Well, it's not in the Gray Book, which means it's not a Shadowhunter rune. And Magnus has never seen anything like it. I think I will ask Rose about it.
[Simon sits down. Maia turns to the bookcases.]
SIMON: And the Seelie Queen said only a Daylighter can withstand it.
MAIA: Does this library have a Daylighter section?
CLARY: I'll see what I can find, but this may be more of a vampire question.
SIMON: [sighs] Remember back in fourth grade when Tommy Weismann kept picking on me?
CLARY: Until you knocked him out.
MAIA: [chuckles] What?
SIMON: True story. I was king of the nerds for a day. What I never told you was that that knockout was actually an accident. I ducked to shield my new glasses, and my elbow caught him in the face.
CAROLINE: You were quite a hero in your school time.
[Clary and Maia chuckle.]
MAIA: I had a similar showdown with Cindy McCallahan. But my knockout was intentional.
SIMON: I guess I just miss the days when our biggest problems were 90-pound bullies and the threat of being suspended.
[They all think about that, then Jace enters.]
JACE: Hey, I need to talk to Clary.
[Clary looks at Simon.]
SIMON: I'm a grown vampire, Fray. I can handle this.
CLARY: Thanks.
[Clary sees Jace rubbing his eyes.]
[THE INSTITUTE, STUDY]
[Clary closes the door behind her.]
CLARY: Did you get any sleep?
[Jace ignores the question, takes a tablet and gives it to Clary.]
JACE: This is Morgan Young, the Owl's latest victim. Except she escaped before he possessed her.
[Clary swipes through pictures of Morgan.]
CLARY: How'd she manage that?
JACE: She got him in the face with pepper spray.
CLARY: That wouldn't affect a demon.
JACE: No, it wouldn't. It means the Owl is part human. Same as Valentine.
CLARY: Jace... Look, we've tried how many times? There's been no activity on the Connection rune.
JACE: I know we have his body but maybe, it's all just a glamour.
[Jace takes the tablet and walks to the desk. His back is to Clary.]
CLARY: Jace, I killed him. We all saw him getting buried. Valentine was dead.
JACE: [sighs] So was I and Jonathan... [turns to Clary] until Rose brought us back.
[Jace approaches Clary.]
CLARY: Do you think this is because of the wish?
JACE: Ever since Lake Lyn, I've been having dreams about Valentine.
ELENA: Which are just dreams.
CLARY: Which are probably just that, dreams.
JACE: Like your dreams about the Mortal Mirror? They all ended up being true. [grabbing tickets from his pocket] Maryse wants to have dinner with Alec, Izzy, Theo, Rose and I later on tonight. I think this is more important. Morgan is throwing a fundraiser for disaster relief. If I know anything about Valentine, he will be there to finish what he started.
CLARY: Then we should tell the others.
JACE: No, he had spies in the Institute before. I don't want anything to tip him off. When he attacks again, we'll be there to stop him.
[HOTEL DUMORT, RAPHAEL'S BEDROOM]
[Raphael is sleeping. He wakes up when his phone rings. He picks it up.]
RAPHAEL: Rosa? [he sits up] Oh, yes. What happened?
[Raphael gazes into the distance, he slowly lowers his phone.]
HOPE: She is dead.
[HOTEL DUMORT]
[Raphael is sitting in the living room. Izzy and a vampire enter. Raphael gets up and hugs Izzy.]
RAPHAEL: I just called to give you the news. You didn't have to come.
ISABELLE: No way I was going to let you go through this alone.
[Izzy hugs him again. In the next scene, they're sitting on the couch, looking at pictures of Raphael and Rosa together.]
RAPHAEL: All my life, I had to watch at a distance as each member of my family grew old and died. But Rosa... she was everything for me.
[Raphael puts the pictures on the coffee table.]
ISABELLE: When's the funeral?
RAPHAEL: During the day.
CAROLINE: Oh no, he won't be able to attend her sister's funeral.
[Izzy puts her hand on Raphael's arm.]
ISABELLE: Tell me when it is. I'll be there. Rosa was a beautiful soul. Someone should be there to honor her.
RAPHAEL: Thank you.
[Izzy strokes Raphael's cheek.]
ISABELLE: You're a good brother, Raphael. Rosa was lucky to have you.
[Raphael gives her a soft smile. He looks down at Izzy's wrist. He sees the veins through her skin.]
ISABELLE: Raphael...
LOUIS: He was loosing control.
[Raphael gets up.]
RAPHAEL: I think it's best if you go.
ISABELLE: It's okay.
[Izzy gets up and walks a few steps. Then she turns back to Raphael.]
ISABELLE: Just promise me you'll ask for help if you need it.
[Then Izzy exits.]
[NYPD]
[Ollie and Luke are sitting by a desk discussing the Owl attacks.]
OLLIE: Another attack by the guy with the Owl face. This time, the victim got away. I was thinking. Could this be a warlock?
LUKE: [whispering] I told you. Don't mention stuff while we're here.
OLLIE: [whispering] Nobody's listening. But they might start if we keep whispering like this. Relax. I won't mention it to anybody who doesn't absolutely need to know.
KLAUS: Means she told someone else.
LUKE: What do you mean "need to know?" Who else did you tell?
OLLIE: Well, obviously Sam. She's my partner. And emergency contact, in case I get mauled by a vampire or something. Kidding. Sort of.
LUKE: I don't think you appreciate how much danger this puts her in. Now, you wanna show me that file?
[THE INSTITUTE, IZZY'S BEDROOM]
[Izzy is getting ready doing her make-up for the dinner with her Mom. Clary knocks on the open door and enters.]
ISABELLE: Wow. Look at you.
CLARY: It's not easy finding something cute that can accommodate a weapon. Izzy, have you... Have you noticed anything different about Jace?
ISABELLE: No. Well, you do see him a lot more than I do. [Clary pulls a face.] What's wrong?
[Rose also comes there.]
ROSE: Hope, I am not interrupting your talks.
ISABELLE: Clary was just telling about what is wrong with Jace.
ROSE: Yeah, he seems a bit off these days.
CLARY: He thinks the Owl is Valentine.
ISABELLE: What?
ROSE: Why?
CLARY: He keeps having these dreams about him. He thinks they're prophetic.
ISABELLE: What do you think?
CLARY: I don't know. He hasn't been sleeping. He's been using his Stamina rune to stay on mission.
ROSE: When you don't sleep, your mind can play tricks on you.
CLARY: Yeah.
ISABELLE: Has he told Alec?
CLARY: He's afraid that once word gets out, it'll tip off Valentine.
[Pause.]
ISABELLE: I'm coming with you.
ROSE: I am also.
CLARY: What about your family dinner?
ISABELLE: If the Owl is Valentine, we've got way bigger problems than missing dinner with Mom.
ROSE: There's no way I'm letting you guys go out there alone.
[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]
[Alec and Magnus are preparing the dinner. Theo and Jonathan are also helping them. Alec is measuring something in a cup.]
ALEC: Are you sure this is exactly half a cup?
MAGNUS: Cooking is an art, not a science.
STEFAN: I agree.
THEO: Agreed.
ALEC: Well, if that were true, then there wouldn't be instructions. [He holds up a card.] Now, this is an old family recipe. Izzy and I found it right after my grandmother died. [stirring the stew] My mother was inconsolable till the day we made her this stew. That was the first time that I saw her smile.
Maryse smiled at this.
CAROLINE: That is very sweet.
JONATHAN: That's very sweet of you.
MAGNUS: Well, you're a sweet man, Alexander. [plucking something out of Alec's hair] And so adorable with radish in your hair.
[Alec feeds Magnus a spoonful of stew. And then gives one spoonful of stew to Theo and Jonathan.]
ALEC: Here.
MAGNUS: Oh, wow.
ALEC: Okay. How is that? Good?
[Magnus nods and chews. Theo and Jonathan also do the same.]
ALEC: Yeah. Good.
[Then Alec's phone rings. As soon as he walks off Magnus, Theo and Jonathan pull a face and spit the rest of the stew out in a cup.]
They laughed at this. Kol was about to fall from his seat.
MAGNUS: Oh, God.
JONATHAN: That's horrible.
THEO: I think I am going to remember this taste my whole life time.
ALEC: It wasn't that bad.
THEO: You should have tasted it, Alec, and then, you wouldn't have dared to try cooking again.
[Magnus and Theo use their magic, and improve the stew with a snap. When Alec comes back Magnus quickly starts stirring.]
ALEC: Izzy texted. [moving Magnus away from the stew] Out, out, out. She's going on mission with Clary, Rose and Jace. Which means it's just me, Theo and Jonathan tonight.
MAGNUS: Just us.
THEO: Okay?
[There's knocking on the front door.]
THEO: Okay, remember, my mother is on edge.
ALEC: That means avoid any sensitive subjects, like my dad or that I turned down that job at the Clave.
JEREMY: You screwed right there.
THEO: Wait, what?
ALEC: Oh no, I promise I am going to explain this later but don't tell mom.
THEO: Fine. But you aren't getting away with this.
MAGNUS: Or the fact that you're dating a dastardly warlock? Hmm?
JONATHAN: [pointing towards Theo] And you are dating a demon blooded Shadowhunter.
ALEC: I'm sorry.
THEO: Are we being terrible?
MAGNUS: No, no, no.
JONATHAN: You both're just tense.
MAGNUS: [grabbing two glasses] Here, drink this.
[Alec and Theo down the drink. Magnus and Jonathan look a bit in shock.]
HOPE: That was quick.
ALEC: We're okay. You both're okay? Okay.
MAGNUS: Oh, we're okay. [Alec and Theo go to the door.] You're okay.
[Magnus puts down the glass and joins Alec and Theo at the door with Jonathan.]
MARYSE: My boys!
[Maryse chuckles and gives Magnus and Jonathan a hug and a bottle of wine to Alec and one to Theo. Then she gives them a hug as well.]
MAGNUS: I'm far from being a boy, but I appreciate the sentiment.
They chuckled a little at this.
MARYSE: My apologies. I should respect my elders.
THEO: Can I get you a drink?
MARYSE: How about a round of Magnus' famous cocktails?
[Maryse goes to the living room.]
KEELIN: That doesn't seem like a person on edge.
MAGNUS: This is your mother on edge?
JONATHAN: I have the same question.
[Magnus takes the wine from Theo and follows Maryse.]
[ALLEY]
[Simon approaches Raphael who's leaning against a car.]
SIMON: Beautiful night. [Raphael looks deadly at Simon.] Or not. Raphael, I need to talk to you.
RAPHAEL: Not now.
SIMON: I wouldn't be here if I didn't need your help.
[Raphael stands up straight.]
RAPHAEL: I said not now, Daylighter.
SIMON: I should have not talked to him at that time.
REBEKAH: It was the bad time.
SIMON: Funny you should mention that. Some strange stuff has gone down, and I was wondering if it might be because of that Daylighter legend you talked about.
RAPHAEL: Your little lost-boy act doesn't work with me, Lewis.
SIMON: If you knew me better, you might find I'm actually pretty lost.
RAPHAEL: [pointing angrily] Twice I offered to help you if you told me how you became a Daylighter and twice you refused.
SIMON: Which, from your perspective, I get. Super frustrating, right? But the thing is, I really don't know. And it might help if you tell me a little bit about this Daylighter legend.
RAPHAEL: [screaming] I said not now!
[Raphael charges for Simon and is about to punch him in the face when Simon's mark sends Raphael flying through the air. He groans when he hits a wall and falls to the ground. Simon runs to Raphael.]
TYLER: Your mark blasted up again.
SIMON: Raphael, are you okay?
RAPHAEL: Stay away from me.
[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]
[Magnus, Jonathan and Maryse are laughing at the dinner table. Alec and Theo are surprised with how well the dinner is going.]
MAGNUS: I'm serious. Truman Capote was a total closet warlock, and he never knew when to leave. [imitanting Truman] "I'd like to stay here the entire night drinking cognac and regaling you all with all my stories."
MARYSE: Well, you do know how to host.
JONATHAN: I second that.
MAGNUS: Oh, please. Tonight was all Alec.
MARYSE: Really? That stew was incredible. Who knew you could cook?
ALEC: I've made that for you before.
MARYSE: Oh, how could I forget? Alec and Isabelle made this for me when they were little kids. To see the looks on their faces when they brought it to me. It still warms my heart. But that stew, I still have nightmares.
THEO: [murmured] I will also have from now, onwards.
They laughed at this.
ALEC: I thought you loved that stew.
MARYSE: Oh, I do now. Whatever you've done to the recipe, it's unrecognizable.
[Alec looks at Magnus and Theo. Magnus and Theo look at the table.]
MAGNUS: Would anyone care for a digestif?
BONNIE: You were trying to change the topic.
MARYSE: No, thank you. I'm probably embarrassing Alec as it is.
JONATHAN: Oh, we're just happy to see you in such good spirits.
ALEC: We thought you might be upset.
THEO: What with the divorce and everything.
MARYSE: I've made my peace with that. But your instincts are right. I do have some unpleasant news. I wanted Isabelle, Rose and Jace to be here, but you need to know. In light of Malachi's coup, the Clave has reopened its investigation of former Circle members.
Maryse sighed.
CAROLINE: You had nothing to do with it.
ALEC: You had nothing to do with Malachi.
THEO: He is right.
MARYSE: Still. Based on a review of my actions in the Circle, the Clave has reclassified me a traitor.
CAROLINE: What?
ROSE: Clave just being Clave.
ALEC: What?
THEO: What?
MARYSE: They're stripping me of my runes. In a few days, it'll be announced that I have been exiled from Alicante.
ALEC: This is completely unjust. You've given your life to the Clave.
[Magnus feels Maryse, Theo and Alec need to discuss this in private. Jonathan also understands the look on his face and nods.]
MAGNUS: I'll go check on the desserts.
JONATHAN: I am coming with you.
[Magnus and Jonathan leave the table.]
ALEC: This is a total hypocrisy. What about the Pangborns, the Blackwells? Do they keep their positions?
THEO: What about Dad?
MARYSE: He was assigned to the LA Institute as part of a deal.
CAROLINE: That's injustice.
ALEC: That is exactly my point.
THEO: He gets a slap on the wrist, not exile.
MARYSE: Please, don't make this harder than it already is.
[Alec and Theo sigh. Maryse stands up from her chair across Theo and sits down next to him.]
MARYSE: My punishment is more severe because my crimes were, too. Back in the days of the Circle, I was convinced Valentine had all the answers. I recruited many good people, including your father and then, Theo also joined because of me. And together with Valentine, I orchestrated all the bloody details of the Uprising.
THEO: Well, I was not a Circle Member, technically. But the thing is you got out.
MARYSE: Only after I knew we were doomed. Once I saw Valentine for who he really was, I couldn't believe what I had done. I vowed to devote the rest of my life to the Clave. But the charges against me are just.
THEO: That's very noble of you, Mom. But if you're not going to fight this thing, we will.
ALEC: Even if that means stepping down from the Institute.
MARYSE: No. Seeing what you Alec have accomplished as Head of the Institute, nothing has made me prouder. The Clave has always had its faults. My generation nearly destroyed everything in our passion to fix it. Yours will have to be wiser.
[FUNDRAISER]
[Clary, Jace, Rose and Izzy enter the party. There are hundreds of people there.]
CLARY: The Owl could be anyone.
JACE: Remember, he might not look like Valentine. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
ROSE: All right, let's split up.
[They see Morgan walking by.]
JACE: Yeah, don't let Morgan out of your sight.
[OUTSIDE FUNDRAISER]
[Luke and Ollie are sitting, waiting, in Luke's car.]
OLLIE: I can't wait to meet the Shadowhunters. Do you think they'll be glamoured?
LUKE: I don't know. [pause] You really don't understand how dangerous this is, do you?
KOL: She seems rather excited about it.
OLLIE: This all started with me getting scratched by a werewolf, so, yeah, I think I get it.
LUKE: No, you don't. Back then, you were just a mundane who had a freak accident. Now, you're playing with fire. And if you're not careful, you'll get caught between forces you can't even begin to understand. I won't be able to help you.
Luke looked sadly at the screen.
OLLIE: Sounds like you're speaking from experience.
HOPE: You were.
[Pause.]
LUKE: His name's Simon. A little awkward. Happy, but mundane. Until he got caught up with the Downworld.
OLLIE: What happened to him? Did he die?
LUKE: You could say that.
OLLIE: I understand that knowing about the Shadow World is a huge responsibility. You need to trust that I can handle it.
[FUNDRAISER]
[Jace is looking at the dancing crowd. He sees a back that's very similar to Valentine's. He goes down to the dancefloor and grabs the man's shoulder. When he turns around, it's not Valentine. Cut to Izzy, who's standing by the bar, keeping an eye on Morgan. Someone approaches Izzy.]
CHARLIE: Isabelle? We met at the hospital. You were assaulting a vending machine...
THEO: I love the word 'assaulting a vending machine'.
ISABELLE: Right.
[Izzy looks at Morgan being hugged by another woman. Charlie follows her gaze.]
CHARLIE: Friends with Morgan?
ISABELLE: No. Why?
CHARLIE: You seem to be staring at her.
ISABELLE: Oh, just, you know, people-watching.
CHARLIE: Well, I'll leave you to it. [he rethinks it] Actually, before I do, I have to ask for your number. Sometimes I don't take a hint. So, "No, go away, please", is a perfectly acceptable answer.
DAVINA: He wasn't going away so easily.
ISABELLE: Look, you're a nice guy, I'm just not–
CHARLIE: But, "No, go away, please"?
[Izzy looks at Morgan, then back at Charlie.]
ISABELLE: Just give me your phone.
[PARK]
[Maia and Simon are looking over the bridge at the water that hides the entrace to the Seelie Realm.]
MAIA: Simon, it's not worth the risk.
SIMON: I have to get this thing off me before I kill someone.
MAIA: The only people you're hurting are people who are trying to hurt you. Is that such a bad thing?
SIMON: It's terrifying.
MAIA: Fine.
[Maia starts taking off her jacket.]
SIMON: What are you doing?
MAIA: Coming with you.
SIMON: You can't. What if she tries to keep you captive again? Maia, this is my problem. I have to do this alone.
MAIA: You better come back to me, you hear me?
SIMON: That's the plan. [walks back a couple feet] All right, my lady. Your favorite Daylighter is coming.
[Simon jumps off the bridge.]
[Maia is wringing Simon's jacket out. Simon is sitting next to her, soaking wet.]
KOL: The Seelie Queen did not granted you entrance.
CAROLINE: Poor you.
MAIA: You know, there are worse things than being locket out of the Seelie Realm and getting drenched. We're going to figure this out.
SIMON: You've already done so much.
MAIA: Simon, I care about you. So until you tell me to back off, I'm going to be right here, wringing out your jacket. Got it?
SIMON: [smiles] Okay.
MAIA: Let's get you some dry clothes, warm blood and a shower.
SIMON: What about the mark?
MAIA: [putting a hand on his shoulder] Try not to piss anyone off and we'll deal with it in the morning.
[FUNDRAISER]
[Jace spots Valentine in the crowd. He follows him to the back room full of mirrors. Jace takes out his blade. Jace sees Valentine standing behind him in the mirror's reflection.]
VALENTINE: Awfully confident, aren't you, my boy? Coming after me, all alone.
[Jace turns around and they clash their blades. Valentine disarms Jace.]
JACE: Why Morgan? What are you doing with these mundanes?
VALENTINE: You never could beat me in a fight, could you? After all I taught you everything.
JACE: Looks like we're about to find out.
VALENTINE: Ah, there it is. The famous Morgenstern swagger. Or is it Wayland? Herondale? Lightwood? It's hard to keep track of exactly who you are, isn't it? [punches Jace in the stomach] We are much more alike than you think, you and I.
REBEKAH: I like this quote.
JACE: I'm nothing like you.
VALENTINE: You are exactly like me. Except, of course, I'm stronger. Spend enough time in practicing, it has a way of toughening you up.
JACE: I look forward to sending you back to dead where you belong.
VALENTINE: Says the unarmed man. [Valentine pulls his sword back and turns it around, almost handing it to Jace.] Go on then, do it. Come on, now. Don't waste my time. There're rather talented daughters I'm dying to speak to.
[Jace sees in the mirror that Valentine is holding another blade behind his back. Jace leaps in, takes the blade, and tries to attack. But suddenly, he's alone.]
FREYA: Oh, my god.
[Cut to Clary and Isabelle on the dancefloor. Izzy approaches Rose and Clary.]
ISABELLE: Did you see where Morgan went?
CLARY: No.
ROSE: I hope Jace has her.
[Izzy notices a phone laying on the ground by some steps.]
ISABELLE: Isn't that Morgan's phone?
ROSE: Oh, no.
[They go to the phone, Izzy picks it up. Then they hear screaming coming from the alley. Clary and Rose open the door and they rush into the alley.]
MORGAN: Get away from me!
[Izzy, Rose and Clary follow the screaming and see the Owl on top of Morgan. Izzy takes out her whip and pulls the Owl away from Morgan. Morgan gets up, possessed.]
CAROLINE: She got possessed.
CLARY: Izzy, watch out!
[Morgan attacks Izzy. Izzy flips her over, then Morgan growls and gets away. Izzy goes after her while Clary and Rose stay with the Owl. They fight him, but he's stronger. The Owl pins them against a wall.]
CLARY: Is it you? Coward! Show me your face, Valentine!
[Suddenly, the Owl releases her. He jumps up on the roof and is gone.]
[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]
[Alec, Jonathan and Theo and Magnus are seeing Maryse out.]
MARYSE: Thank you, again. Tonight couldn't have been nicer.
MAGNUS: You're welcome anytime.
MARYSE: [to Alec and Theo] And, um, I'd appreciate it if you could keep our conversation between us. I'd like to tell Isabelle, Rose and Jace myself.
THEO: Of course.
[Maryse hugs Alec and Theo.]
THEO: I suppose we'll be seeing more of you.
MARYSE: I'd like that. [pause] I may have had my prejudices in the past. But seeing you, Magnus stand by Alec, and you, Jonathan by Theo, it's what every mother wants for her children. Thank you both of you for loving my boys.
They smiled at this scene.
[Maryse hugs Magnus, then, Jonathan. Alec and Theo smile. Then Maryse leaves. Magnus and Alec smile at each other. Same with Jonathan and Theo.]
[SIMON'S CONTAINER]
[Simon slides open the door and peaks inside.]
SIMON: Hello? Anybody there?
[When Luke steps forward, Simon knows it's safe to go in and he does so.]
SIMON: Luke, what are you doing here?
LUKE: Simon, I, um...
SIMON: It's okay. I understand. I'll come by tomorrow and pack up my stuff.
LUKE: If you need a place to stay, I can–
SIMON: No. You've done enough. I don't wanna cause you any more trouble. I'll see you around, I guess.
LUKE: Yeah. Simon, I'm sorry.
SIMON: Don't worry about it. I'll be all right.
[HOTEL DUMORT]
[Raphael stumbles into the living room, he's wincing and in pain, because of Simon's powers. He looks and sees another vampire, laying on the floor. He's beaten up.]
RAPHAEL: What happened?
MAN: She's gone.
DAMON: She's gonna cause some serious trouble.
[THE INSTITUTE, CELLS]
[Morgan is in a cell, sitting against the wall. Izzy, Rose and Clary are watching Morgan from behind the glass.]
KLAUS: You locked her up.
ISABELLE: Poor Morgan. She's the last person who deserves to be locked up.
CLARY: It's for her own safety.
ROSE: Where is Jace?
ISABELLE: Still no word?
CLARY: I'm starting to get really worried.
ROSE: He should have been back by now.
ISABELLE: Maybe he went to look for the Owl.
CLARY: Without checking in?
ROSE: Well, one thing is for sure, the Owl is definitely not Valentine.
HAYLEY: How do you know?
CLARY: How do you know?
ROSE: When we fought with him, I had a special herb with me which Valentine is allergic to. The herb didn't react.
CLARY: Well, if the Owl is not Valentine, then... who could it be?
KOL: Yeah, that's the million dollar question.
[OLD CHURCH]
[The Owl enters Lilith's church.]
LILITH: There you are, my Owl.
[The Owl kneels before Lilith. He starts transforming into a person. Jace. Lilith drains more blood from one of her victims.]
KOL: You were that Owl.
JACE: Yes, I was.
LILITH: Yes, my loyal disciples, let your demonic lifeblood flow into the sacred tomb, so it may nourish my precious boy, and prepare him for his rebirth.
Achatius rolled his eyes at this.
[The blood flows down into the tomb, and drips onto a body.]
