▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ ▌[INTRO IS SHOWN]

Rosaline opens her eyes and flashes her alpha eyes. 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 alpha 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

SEBASTIAN: [chuckles] That's very, very impressive. [circles around Max to the door] Your tracking skills. Isabelle has taught you very well. [closes the door] Perhaps a little too well. 

JONATHAN: I am sorry for what I did. 

MAX: It wasn't you, it was the demon blood. 

[Max grabs the letter opener from the desk and throws it at Sebastian. It's a hit. Sebastian pulls it out of his stomach. Max grabs the poker by the fireplace and they fight. Sebastian slams Max's head against the desk, so he passes out. Sebastian hears Rose's voice in the hallway.] 

CLARY: You attacked him, a child. You are a monster. 

Rose was about to say something but Max spoke before. 

MAX: It wasn't his fault, it was the demon blood who was controlling his mind. And you don't get to question my brother. 

Jonathan was surprised at the way Max defended him. 

ROSE: Next time Elena, you speak a word against my brother, I will make sure you don't return to your world alive. 

ELena was scared and she shut her mouth. This time even, Damon didn't stand for Elena. 

ROSE: Lindsay, hey. Have you seen Alec?

[Cut to hallway.]

LINDSAY: He should be in his office. I just saw him there. Is everything okay?

ROSE: Yeah, Jace, Theo, Clary and I just need to update him on something. Thank you.

[Rose opens the door and finds Sebastian calmly sitting in one of the chairs, holding the letter opener between his fingers.]

ROSE: Sebastian. I was looking for Alec.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, as was I.

[They both get a notification on their phones.]

ROSE: [looking at her phone] And now we found him. Urgent brief in the Ops Center. Perfect timing, huh?

SEBASTIAN: Yeah. Yeah, perfect timing.

[Rose exits the room, so does Sebastian after he glances over one more time at the desk. Under the desk, there lays Max unconscious.]

[TITLE SCREEN]

[STREETS]

[Maia and Simon are coming back from their paddleboat trip. Simon is chuckling.]

MAIA: Okay, but next time I get to control the steering of the paddleboat.

SIMON: Those ducks are gonna be fine, I told you.

MAIA: Only because they narrowly missed you at the last second.

SIMON: Well, you know, I was helping them. Um, I was... I was honing their survival skills. Ducks are getting very lazy these days. 

They chuckled. 

CAROLINE: So, easily you remove your fault. 

MAIA: [chuckling] Okay.

[Simon looks up at the sky.]

MAIA: What?

SIMON: Full moon. Should I be worried?

MAIA: Yes. Very.

[They both lean in and are about to kiss when they hear a man screaming in the distance. They run to an alleyway and see a man (Bat) being attacked by a wolf.] 

BONNIE: Oh, no. 

MAIA: Oh, my God.

[When the wolf sees Simon and Maia, it flees. Maia and Simon run up to the man, panting against a wall.]

BAT: What just happened? What kind of dog was that? Oh, God. I don't wanna die.

SIMON: You're not gonna die, okay?

MAIA: We're here to help you. What's your name?

BAT: Bartholomew Velasquez. People call me Bat. 

KOL: What a name! 

MAIA: Okay, Bat. Can you stand?

[Bat grunts getting up. Maia and Simon help him.]

SIMON: We gotta find the wolf that did this.

MAIA: I already know. 

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Izzy joins Alec, Sebastian, Jace, Theo, Rose and Clary at the meeting table.]

ISABELLE: Sorry, I'm late. I've been looking everywhere for Max. Has anyone seen him?

JACE: Have you tried the armory? He's probably sharpening his blades for his first assignment.

ISABELLE: [sighs] I checked.

ALEC: We have more pressing matters. Thanks to Dot's help, we now have the Mortal Mirror.

SEBASTIAN: And you have it at the Institute. And it's well guarded, I presume?

ALEC: The Elite Guards are the only ones who know its location. It's safest that way.

ROSE: Jonathan went after Elliot and Dot to get the Mirror. Now that he knows we have it, he's going to come back for it.

ALEC: Agreed. Report back with any possible scenarios by which Jonathan and Valentine could attempt a breach.

THEO: Okay.

[Jace, Clary, Rose and Sebastian leave.]

ISABELLE: [to Alec] Is everything okay? You told Magnus about the Soul-Sword, didn't you? [Alec doesn't respond. Izzy and Theo put a hand on his shoulder.] Wow. That bad? 

ISABELLE: It was worse. 

[SEELIE COURT]

[Luke and Magnus have traveled to the Seelie realm to see the Queen.]

NYMPH: Milady, I now present to you Magnus Bane and Lucian Graymark.

[Luke and Magnus bow.]

SEELIE QUEEN: So the Clave lied and Valentine has the Sword. Is anyone surprised?

MAGNUS: Milady. We agree that it's time to take charge of our destiny. We've come to accept your offer to unite the Downworld to hunt Valentine.

SEELIE QUEEN: Good. But we do it our way. No more playing by the Clave's rules.

LUKE: With all due respect, Your Highness, we didn't come here to start a war with the Shadowhunters.

SEELIE QUEEN: The Shadowhunters want us dead. You think it's an accident they lost Valentine?

LUKE: I don't trust the Clave, but I trust Clary, Theo and Rose. They told me that they and Jace recovered the Mortal Mirror to protect the Downworld from Valentine.

SEELIE QUEEN: Your love for the Shadowhunters weakens you. That's why your pack has lost so many wolves. 

CAROLINE: Again with the manipulation. 

LUKE: My pack's losses are because of Valentine.

SEELIE QUEEN: [to Magnus] After the lies your boyfriend told you surely you're on my side?

[Luke turns to Magnus.]

LUKE: Magnus, we came here to stop Valentine, not make new enemies by breaking the Accords.

SEELIE QUEEN: Don't let your crush get in the way of protecting your people.

MAGNUS: I beg your patience, Your Grace. But breaking our allegiance to the Shadowhunters is a step that requires consideration.

SEELIE QUEEN: Decide quickly. [She plucks a rose from a bush and puts it in Magnus pocket.] Once all the petals on this rose turn black... your time is up. And remember, those who don't come to my side will be on the losing side. 

MAGNUS: She is a great liar. 

LUKE: We should have never listened to her. 

MAGNUS: Milady.

[Magnus and Luke leave.]

[THE INSTITUTE, ALEC'S OFFICE]

[Sebastian enters. He looks under the desk where he left Max, but Max is gone.]

[THE INSTITUTE, HALLS]

[Izzy is leaving a message for Max and Theo is with her.]

ISABELLE: [on phone] Max, where are you? If you're out on mission alone, I'm gonna whip your... 

MAX: Thank you for not completing the sentence. 

THEO: Chill, Izzy. He won't leave on mission alone and unannounced.

[Izzy and Theo notice blood splatter on the floor. She hangs up the phone and they follows the trail. It leads into her bedroom, where Izzy and Theo see Max lying unconscious on the floor, bleeding from his nose.]

ISABELLE: [grabbing his hand] Max, can you hear me?

THEO: Max? [screaming] Someone get a medic!

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY]

[Max is lying in a bed. He has bandages around his head. Doctors are examining him.] 

They felt a very sad at his condition. 

ISABELLE: I tried using an iratze rune to wake him, but nothing's working.

[Alec, Rose and Clary rush in.]

ALEC: What happened?

ISABELLE: We don't know.

THEO: We found him like this in my room.

CLARY: Oh, my God, Max.

ROSE: Oh, God.

ALEC: We should send him to Idris. See what they can do.

THEO: The medic said that in his condition, he won't be able to survive the transfer. 

FREYA: His condition was serious. 

[Jace and Sebastian rush in. Everyone is gathered around the bed now.]

JACE: Max. We checked the Institute's security camera footage. Whoever attacked him is somehow covering their tracks.

SEBASTIAN: Has he been able to talk?

ISABELLE: Not yet. He's unconscious.

CLARY: I don't understand. Who would wanna hurt him?

ALEC: I don't know. But I'm gonna find out.

THEO: And we won't leave him. He laid a hand on my brother.

JACE: Hey. I'll get Robert and Maryse here. The rest of us, we'll find out who did this.

SEBASTIAN: Yeah, I'll stay with Max. If he regains consciousness, perhaps he can ID his attacker.

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus is sitting on the couch, the flower from the Seelie realm between his fingers. His phone beeps. It's Alec calling. Magnus hesitates, but does not pick up. Looking at the flower, a memory pops into Magnus' head.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT, FLASHBACK]

[Alec is sleeping on the couch. Magnus puts down a tray with coffee on the coffee table.] 

ALEC: I remember this. 

MAGNUS: This was the night when we first met. 

MAGNUS: Cream or sugar?

[Alec wakes up and sees the light shining in.]

ALEC: Did I fall asleep?

MAGNUS: We both did.

[Magnus sits down. Alec immediately stands up.]

MAGNUS: On separate couches. Never fear.

ALEC: [grabbing his jacket] I should never have taken you up on your offer for drinks.

MAGNUS: [stands up] In hindsight, liquor might have been a bad idea after being drained of all my magic to heal your friend Luke.

ALEC: [puts on his jacket] Not my friend. He's Clary Fairchild's. I've only known her five days and she's already more trouble than she's worth.

MAGNUS: You're more than just a pretty face, aren't you?

ALEC: What is that supposed to mean?

MAGNUS: You shared your strength with me to help your friend. It's rare to find a Shadowhunter with such a... open heart.

ALEC: I trust you. I don't know why, but I do. [pause] What time is it? I have to get back to the Institute.

MAGNUS: Stay for breakfast. I conjure up a mean Belgian waffle.

ALEC: No. If you let anyone know that I slept here last night...

MAGNUS: Relax. My reputation's on the line just as much as yours. I'd lose all my credibility if my people found out that I let a Shadowhunter spend the night.

ALEC: Then why'd you let me sleep here?

MAGNUS: [pause] Trust makes you do strange things. [sniffs] Must be something in the air.

[Alec gives him one last look and then leaves.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT, PRESENT]

[Magnus looks at the flower again. The petals have started to turn black.]

[JADE WOLF, KITCHEN]

[Luke is in the kitchen. He looks through the window of the doors into the restaurant.]

LUKE: Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

[Luke exits the kitchen and goes into the restaurant. Ollie and her girlfriend Samantha are sitting in a booth.] 

KOL: They were so determine to find out. 

OLLIE: Definitely the steamed dumplings. Ooh, and some fried wontons.

SAMANTHA: No. Two orders because you always say you don't want any and then you eat all of mine.

OLLIE: What?

SAMANTHA: You do.

[Luke has walked over to their table.]

LUKE: I see she drives you crazy, too.

OLLIE: Luke. Guess we're both in the mood for Chinese.

LUKE: What a coincidence.

OLLIE: This is Sam. My other partner.

SAMANTHA: Nice to finally meet the famed Luke Garroway.

LUKE: [they shake hands] Hi.

SAMANTHA: Ollie's constantly gushing about how she hit the jackpot on getting you as her mentor.

[Ollie and Samantha chuckle. Maia approaches Luke.]

MAIA: Hey, uh, we need to talk.

[Maia goes to the back of the restaurant.]

OLLIE: Oh, I remember her. The girl who's not your girlfriend? 

JEREMY: 'The girl who's not your girlfriend' is a nice way to remember someone. 

LUKE: Enjoy your wontons.

[Luke joins Maia in the back.]

LUKE: What's up?

MAIA: It's Russell. When he left for Philly, I thought he'd be gone for good. But he's back and he scratched a mundane.

[SIMON'S CONTAINER]

[Bat is laying in a chair. Maia is tending to his wounds. Simon is there as well. Luke has just come in.]

LUKE: How you feeling?

BAT: Not so good. Look, I appreciate you guys helping me, but I think I need stitches and definitely a rabies shot. Shouldn't I go to an ER?

LUKE: I just called the paramedics. They should be here soon.

[Bat nods. Luke gives Simon a heads up and they go talk in the corner.]

SIMON: What are we gonna do when the paramedics don't show?

BAT: Well, we'll know soon enough if we even need 'em.

[Maia joins Luke and Simon in the corner.]

SIMON: Okay. Not to sound judgy, but is this really how you guys normally do this? You, you know, hold a scratched mundane hostage until they turn? 

LUKE: No. 

MAIA: I mean, normally we just secretly follow them to see if they turn at the next full moon. We can't exactly pull someone out of their lives and be like "Hey, you might be a werewolf".

LUKE: Bat's an exception. Luckily, with the full moon, we won't have to wait for long. You sure you're up for this? Maia?

MAIA: Uh, I'm good. Yeah.

LUKE: All right. You and Simon wait here with him. I'll take care of Russell.

[THE INSTITUTE, ISABELLE'S ROOM]

[Jace, Rose and Clary are investigating Izzy's room.]

JACE: From the traces of blood outside the door, it seems Max was attacked somewhere else and then he came here.

CLARY: He was probably looking for help.

[Jace kneels down by the bed. Clary and Rose kneel down next to him. Jace is having a hard time, he sighs. Then he notices something.]

JACE: Clary. Rose.

[From under the bed, Jace pulls out the J.C. box.] 

HAYLEY: The box. 

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Clary, Rose and Jace have called a meeting. Alec, Theo and Sebastian are there as well.]

SEBASTIAN: What did you find?

CLARY: The box my mom used to keep Jonathan's things in.

JACE: It was right where Izzy and Theo found Max.

ALEC: I remember Max had his eyes on it. He was so determined to prove himself.

JACE: It's possible he found a way to use the box to track Jonathan.

SEBASTIAN: Wait, all of this would mean that Jonathan found a way to get inside the Institute without us even knowing.

JACE: Well, he's Valentine's son. We were trained to do the impossible.

CLARY: If Jonathan attacked Max and came for the Mirror...

[Theo looked at Sebastian. His eyes showed he was hurt. Rose puts a hand on his shoulder.] 

Jonathan felt guilty and sad because he hurt Theo. 

JACE: He wouldn't have left here without it. Alec, he could still be in the building.

ALEC: Listen, we have to confirm he's still inside.

JACE: We saw what the real Jonathan looks like. He will be glamoured as one of our own.

JACE: That was true. 

CLARY: Hiding in plain sight.

ALEC: Okay. Hey, Sebastian, I want you and any other personnel on supplemental guard duty. Effective immediately, the Institute's on lockdown.

[Everyone's about to walk away, but Sebastian calls Alec back.]

SEBASTIAN: Wait, wait. We'll need to fortify security outside as well. I can spearhead that team. 

ALEC: No, I have it covered. If Jonathan's still in the building, he's not getting out alive. 

KLAUS: Your attempts to esacpe were going in vain. 

[SIMON'S CONTAINER]

[Bat is shaking. He groans.]

BAT: Where are the paramedics?

SIMON: They're coming. They're coming. But don't worry, man. You look a lot... You're looking better.

[Maia enters and puts a box on the table.]

SIMON: Where'd you go? He's getting worse.

MAIA: I know.

[Maia takes handcuffs out of the box and cuffs Bat to one of the metal bars.]

BAT: What are you doing?

MAIA: Okay, I'm really sorry. But what's happening to you happened to me, too, okay? This is for your own good.

SIMON: Is restraining him like this necessary?

MAIA: He's turning, Simon. Can you kill the lights? It's, like, sensory overload for wolves.

BAT: Did you say "wolf"? What do you mean, wolf? What's happening? 

HOPE: He was panicking. 

MAIA: [to Simon] Just do it.

[Simon turns off the lights.]

MAIA: [to herself] Where's the damn mouth guard?

SIMON: What are you doing? What do you need?

[Maia grabs a wooden paddle.]

MAIA: So he doesn't bite his tongue off.

MATT: Does it happen? 

SIMON: Does that seriously happen

[Maia tries to put the paddle in Bat's mouth but he bites it in half and snarls.]

SIMON: That was a good idea.

[Bat starts turning.]

SIMON: Poor guy. Is there anything we can do? 

FINN: Get out of that place. 

[Bat continues turning, and breaks loose from the handcuff. His bones crack.]

MAIA: I'll tell you what we can do. We can get the hell outta here.

[Maia and Simon run.]

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY]

[Izzy is sitting by Max's bedside. She's holding her hand. Her eyes are filled with tears.]

ISABELLE: They say that maybe you can hear me. I want you to wake up, okay? Open your eyes and wake up, Max.

SEBASTIAN: Sorry to interrupt.

[Sebastian enters.]

ISABELLE: It's okay.

SEBASTIAN: How's the little fighter doing? Is there any progress?

ISABELLE: I'm still waiting to hear back from Brother Enoch. But Max already defied the odds in surviving Jonathan's attack. If anyone could make it, he can.

[Sebastian looks at Max and back at Izzy.]

SEBASTIAN: Look, Izzy, you need to take care of yourself as well. You should take a break.

ISABELLE: Uh, thanks, but I... I can't leave him.

SEBASTIAN: Look, just a few minutes will do you a world of good. And I'll watch Max while you're gone.

ISABELLE: [pause] I could use a break. Thank you.

[Sebastian smiles. At that moment, the door opens and Maryse and Robert enter.]

MARYSE: Oh, Max.

ISABELLE: Mom, Dad.

[Izzy hugs her parents.]

MARYSE: Your father and I spoke with Brother Enoch. He says warlock magic can't heal Max.

ROBERT: Our only hope is to allow the Silent Brothers to attempt a procedure that they only use in rare emergencies.

MARYSE: Kind of like a rebooting of the brain.

ISABELLE: Does it involve any risks? 

ACHATIUS: It's far too risky. You are very strong Max, you survived it. 

ROBERT: I'm afraid so. Very few Shadowhunters have survived it.

ISABELLE: You still think we should do it?

MARYSE: If we don't, Max will never wake up.

SEBASTIAN: I'll be praying for your son.

[Sebastian has a confused look on his face when he leaves the room.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus is staring out the window. It's raining. Another memory comes up.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT, FLASHBACK]

[Alec and Magnus stumble into the bedroom. Kissing and chuckling. Alec pulls off his boots. Then he takes his shirt of with Magnus' help. Magnus takes of his jacket, still kissing Alec. They smile and land on the bed, Magnus on top.] 

JACE: Oh, I definitely don't wanna see this. 

MAGNUS: That was graceful.

ALEC: Shadowhunter.

MAGNUS: Oh.

[They continue kissing. Alec pulls Magnus' shirt forward. Then Magnus flinches and covers his eyes. He sits up with his back to Alec.]

ALEC: What? Am I doing something wrong?

MAGNUS: No such thing.

ALEC: Well... [sits up] What, do you not want to?

MAGNUS: No. I mean, yes. Of course I do.

ALEC: Magnus, what is it?

MAGNUS: It's just, sometimes... I lose control.

[Magnus turns to Alec, revealing his snake eyes. Alec smiles.]

ALEC: Magnus... [stroking Magnus' cheek] They're beautiful. You're beautiful. 

Magnus and Alec smiled at the memory. 

[Magnus smiles and holds Alec's hand.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT, PRESENT]

[Magnus is staring out the window when there's a knock on the door.]

ALEC: Magnus?

[Magnus debates it, then puts the flower in his pocket and goes to the door. He opens it.]

ALEC: I know I have no right to ask for favors, but I need you. [Magnus is about to close the door.] It's Max.

[THE INSTITUTE, COURTYARD]

[A guard, Wintergold, is on the phone with his partner.]

WINTERGOLD: [on the phone] I don't know when I'm getting home. Hopefully soon. I love you, too.

[The security camera swings off to the right. Wintergold grunts off screen. When the camera turns back, Wintergold is gone.] 

HOPE: You took him. 

[THE INSTITUTE, HALLS]

[Sebastian is lifting up the guard, choking him.]

SEBASTIAN: Where is the Mortal Mirror? [no answer from the guard] As you wish. But your wife and son will be next.

[The guard tries to talk.]

GUARD: It's in the sub-cells. Look for Stillwater.

[Sebastian still chokes him, the guard falls to the ground. Sebastian takes the guard's blade and he's off.]

[WOLF LAIR]

[People are watching cartoons, talking and drinking. Luke enters.]

RUSSELL: Luke.

MAN: Hey, man. Get up. It's going down.

[The people get up and gather around.]

RUSSELL: Welcome. Would you like a beer?

LUKE: You should have stayed in Philly.

RUSSELL: I'd appreciate it if you handed over the new guy, if he turns.

LUKE: We don't recruit by turning mundanes.

RUSSELL: Not if we do things your way.

LUKE: When times turn dark, rules are what bind us to our humanity.

RUSSELL: Right, well, from what I hear, the pack is starting to realize that humanity won't keep us alive. What they want is a leader who's willing to fight.

[Russell jumps down from the platform.]

LUKE: Don't do this, Russell.

RUSSELL: No. Let's do this, Alpha. But since you're all about the rules, let's do it by the book, huh? To the death, for pack leader. 

TYELR: He challenged you. 

[Russell charges forward. He and Luke fight. Russell gets a lot of punches in and throws Luke onto a pile of planks. The people cheer. Luke gets up and they continue fighting. Now Luke throws Russell onto a table. Luke pulls Russell up and throws him onto the platform.]

MAN: [to Russell] Come on, man, get up.

[Luke pushes the people aside and puts his boot on Russell's throat.]

MAN: It's really going down. He's gonna kill him.

[Russell struggles. Luke then decides to let go. He steps away from Russell, who gasps for air.] 

ELIJAH: You let it go. 

RUSSELL: The rule is to the death.

LUKE: Time for new rules.

[The people growl and kneel down for Luke.]

[JADE WOLF]

[Maia and Simon are standing by the counter, ordering food.]

MAIA: And four orders of moo shu. Actually, you know what? Just make it six.

SIMON: Wow, that's more than my mom orders for our entire family on Christmas Day.

[They go into the storage room in the back. Maia grabs some supplies.]

MAIA: Well, when you first turn you are hungrier than you've ever been in your entire life.

[Simon stares at the scars on Maia's neck. ]

SIMON: Is that from the wolf that turned you? [Maia doesn't answer] I'm sorry. Bet that's not your favorite subject.

MAIA: You know, I knew the person who turned me. That boyfriend I was telling you about, his name was Jordan. He was the first boy who made me feel beautiful. And, for a while, life was beautiful. Then he started getting weird and possessive, so I broke up with him. Then I started dating someone else. Nothing serious. But I was on my way home from a date and it was raining. And so I tilted my head back, and next thing I knew, I was face down in the mud. At first, I thought it was a rabid dog. It was clawing and ripping at my skin. I was screaming and just begging him to get off of me. And that's when the wolf started to change and it was Jordan. He just backed up and... ran off and left me there alone. [pause] And I... I can't help but think that... every time I turn... this is what love got me. 

CAROLINE: Her boyfriend is a jerk. 

REBEKAH: Agreed. 

SIMON: Maia, I'm so sorry.

[Maia wipes a tear from her eye.]

MAIA: Um, I'm gonna go check on the food.

[Maia leaves.]

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Clary and Rose approach Izzy.]

CLARY: Hey, Izzy.

ROSE: How's Max?

ISABELLE: Brother Enoch said if we don't move fast, it could be too late. I need to get back to the infirmary, but I got your message about Jonathan. What do you need?

CLARY: Your whip.

[THE INSTITUTE, ELEVATORS]

[Jace pushes the button so the elevator comes down. Sebastian approaches him.]

SEBASTIAN: You look like a man on a mission.

JACE: Wintergold is missing. My guess is Jonathan's closing in on the Mirror. I'm gonna go and guard it myself.

SEBASTIAN: That's, uh, brave.

[The elevator doors open.]

JACE: Jonathan and I were both trained by Valentine. If anyone can take him down, it's me.

[Jace goes onto the elevator.]

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY OUTSIDE]

[Izzy has gone back to the infirmary. Outside, her parents, Theo and Alec are sitting on some chairs, waiting.]

ISABELLE: Anything?

[At that moment, the door to Max's room opens and Magnus and Brother Enoch walk out.]

MAGNUS: His injuries are too severe. Max's only hope for recovery now lies with Brother Enoch.

ALEC: There's gotta be something, anything.

MARYSE: Brother Enoch.

THEO: No.

MARYSE: Alec, Theo, I know you're scared. We all are. But if Max is going to have any chance, we need to let Brother Enoch do this. Now.

[Brother Enoch goes back in again and closes the door. Everyone sits down again, except Magnus and Alec. Magnus takes Alec's hand. He thinks of another memory.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT, FLASHBACK]

[There are clothes on the bedroom floor. Magnus and Alec are lying in bed.]

ALEC: Good morning.

MAGNUS: Morning.

ALEC: Oh, man. What time is it? I have to get to the Institute.

MAGNUS: Oh.

ALEC: No. I'm just kidding. I was just kidding.

[They both chuckle. Now they're lying facing each other.]

ALEC: Were you really afraid I was gonna go?

MAGNUS: No.

ALEC: What are you afraid of?

MAGNUS: Acid wash jeans. 

They chuckled at this. 

ALEC: Oh, come on, Magnus. [Magnus chuckles.] I'm serious. [looking up at the ceiling] You're an all-powerful warlock. You can summon demons. You've lived through centuries of war. And you're immortal. [looking at Magnus] What scares you?

MAGNUS: [pause] Hmm. The key to having no fear is having nothing to lose. [both facing the ceiling] I don't know. I guess that's why I haven't opened my heart up for almost a 100 years. [Alec looks at Magnus.] Then I met you.

[Alec smiles a little and puts his hand by Magnus. Magnus takes it, and their fingers intertwine.] 

HOPE: Cute. 

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY OUTSIDE, PRESENT]

[Alec lets go of Magnus' hand. He sits down by his family.]

[THE INSTITUTE, BASEMENT]

[Jace and other guards are guarding the Mortal Mirror. Jace's phone chimes. Jace looks and sees it's a message from Alec that says: "We've lost Max". Jace hurries to the elevators.] 

FREYA: You did that to get him away from security. 

JACE: [to the guards] Take command.

[The elevator stops on the ground floor. When Jace rushes out the elevator, Sebastian quickly gets in after Jace is gone.] 

[THE INSTITUTE, BASEMENT]

[Sebastian walks into the basement. He has a blade in each hand. Guards are coming from him, but Sebastian pierces both of them with a sword. He fights all the other guards, most of them. One guard gets up and drops his weapon to surrender, but Sebastian still kills him. Sebastian looks at the wall behind the statue. He's looking for the right grave.]

SEBASTIAN: Stillwater. Stillwater. Stillwater. Still... [finding the right grave] Ah!

[With his demonic powers, he opens the grave. There lies the Mortal Mirror. He takes it with him.]

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Sebastian gets off the elevator. He sees that Clary is monitoring the people who are leaving.]

CLARY: If you need to leave the Institute, please step forward. Thank you. You're free to go.

GUARD: Please step forward.

[Sebastian approaches Clary.]

SEBASTIAN: Has the lockdown been called off?

CLARY: If you can prove you're not Jonathan.

SEBASTIAN: [chuckles] Sorry, what?

CLARY: We figured out a way to blow his cover. Jace remembered reading in Valentine's journals... Jonathan can't tolerate electrum.

SEBASTIAN: Right, because of the demon blood.

CLARY: [nods] Hmm. Valentine wrote that he'd scream in pain the second it touched his skin. It'd burn straight through to the bone. So I extracted some electrum from Izzy's whip, and we're having everyone hold it to see if they react. 

ENZO: And you will straight away identify him. 

SEBASTIAN: Well, I'm very impressed. Seems Jonathan's finally met his match.

CLARY: Don't take it personally.

[Clary goes to another guard, he gives her the electrum.] [Rose sees them.]

CLARY: [to Sebastian] If you have to leave, just hold this for a few seconds.

[Sebastian holds his hand up, but rethinks it.]

SEBASTIAN: I was just wondering, actually, um... if you caught Jonathan, you wouldn't kill him, would you?

CLARY: I know he attacked Max and Eliot but still I can't kill him. He is my family and I know whatever he did was wrong and he was responsible for it but so is the man because of whom my brother has demon blood and which caused him to do this. 

FINN: You Morgensterns love your siblings. 

[Sebastian smiles but hides it.]

SEBASTIAN: Well, then. Shall we?

[Clary puts the electrum in Sebastian's hand. He closes it immediately. He smiles at Clary, then, Rose. He makes an eye contact with Theo, who just came, his eyes were showing guilt but then, he immediately looks back at Clary.] 

HOPE: It didn't hurt you. 

JONATHAN: Years of tolerance of pain makes it possible. 

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY OUTSIDE]

[Jace comes running into the hall.]

JACE: Where is he? What happened?

ALEC: What are you talking about?

JACE: Max. I... I got your text.

ALEC: What text?

JACE: [realizing] Jonathan. Sound the alarm.

[Jace runs back, while Alec pushes the alarm button on his phone. It says there is a System Failure.]

ALEC: Son of a bitch. 

Clary and Rose acted like they were offended at this sentence. 

[Magnus and Robert go into Max's room, Alec goes after Jace.]

[THE INSTITUTE, ENTRY HALL]

[Sebastian is still holding the electrum. He then puts it back in Clary's hand.]

SEBASTIAN: There you are. I guess I passed your test. [walking to the doors] See you later.

[Sebastian is almost at the doors, when Clary looks at the electrum in her hand. She then runs after Sebastian.]

CLARY: Sebastian. Hey.

[Sebastian stops and turns to Clary.]

CLARY: Hey, you forgot something. 

HAYLEY: You realized. 

[Clary takes Sebastian's wrist and turns it. A big red burn on the palm of Sebastian's hand becomes visible. With his other hand, Sebastian pushes a red button on the wall. The electricity crackles. Clary takes her dagger and pierces Sebastian. The security doors close between part of the hall and the entry doors.]

GUARD: Doors!

GUARD 2: Go, go, go!

[Sebastian and Clary are alone between that part now. Sebastian grabs Clary by her wrist.]

GUARD: Open up!

[Sebastian pulls Clary's dagger out of himself. The guards keep banging on the door.]

GUARD: Let's go around to the front. The door's jammed.

[The guards rush to the other side.]

SEBASTIAN: After ten years of torture in Edom, I learned to endure pain. In fact, I rather enjoy it.

[Clary drops her dagger.]

SEBASTIAN: I wanted Theo, my sisters... and the Mirror. But if I can't have all...

CLARY: Brother, please.

SEBASTIAN: I am sorry.

CLARY: So am I.

[Clary grabs her other blade and pierces it in Sebastian's shoulder. The Mirror drops out of his pocket. Clary quickly takes it and draws a rune on the doors that lead to the hall. The glass explodes. Clary jumps through it. Guards immediately go to her. Sebastian pulls Clary's blade out of his shoulder.] 

JONATHAN: You gave a fight, Clary. 

GUARD: There she is! In here, right in here!

[Jace, Rose, Theo and Alec are there too.]

JACE: Clary! Are you okay?

[Jonathan stumbles through the entry doors. Next thing he's gone.]

ALEC: [to the guards] Go after him.

[Clary is helped up by Alec, Theo, Rose and Jace.]

ALEC: Where's Jonathan?

CLARY: I don't know. He got away somehow.

ROSE: Are you okay?

CLARY: Yeah.

JACE: Did he get the Mirror?

CLARY: No. And no one is ever going to use it to destroy the Downworld.

[Clary grabs her stele and holds Rose's hand and starts drawing a rune on the Mirror.]

ALEC: What are you doing?

CLARY: Nullifying its powers, like I and Rose did with the Soul-Sword. 

KEELIN: But it won't as it wasn't the real one. 

[When the rune is drawn, it stays there for a second, then the Mirror turns to dust.]

CLARY: What just happened? [Rose sighed.]

[SIMON'S CONTAINER, OUTSIDE]

[Maia and Simon approach his container, bags with Chinese food in hand.]

MAIA: You know, if you have stuff to do, that's okay. I can take over with Bat.

SIMON: No, I wanna be here.

MAIA: I'm not good at the whole trust thing... letting people in.

SIMON: I'm not good at the whole giving-up thing. Plus, someone has to improve my paddleboat skills and protect all of those ducks. 

They chuckled at this one. 

[They both chuckle. Then Maia steps forward, and they kiss. They smile. Then Simon picks up both bags of Chinese food. Maia looks at the lock on the door and back to Simon.]

SIMON: I have the key.

[Maia chuckles as Simon sets down the bags and unlocks the door. They go in. There is a lot of destruction inside.]

BAT: Help...

[Maia sets down the bags and runs to the bed, where Bat is sitting on the floor, covering himself with a blanket. Maia kneels down by him.]

BAT: This can't be happening.

MAIA: You're not alone. I promise.

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY]

[Izzy, Magnus, Robert, and Maryse are standing by Max's bedside. Maryse is stroking Max's hair. Alec and Theo enter.]

ALEC: How'd it go?

THEO: Is he okay?

ISABELLE: He's okay, Theo and Alec.

[Alec takes Magnus' place by the bed. Max grunts and opens his eyes.]

MAX: Did you catch Sebastian? 

CAROLINE: You almost died and you were concerned to catch him. 

[Everyone laughs a little.]

MARYSE: You almost died, and that's what you're concerned about?

MAGNUS: I should go. Max, you take care of yourself.

[Magnus exits. Izzy and Theo give Alec a look, which makes Alec go after Magnus. Outside the infirmary, Magnus is looking at the flower. When he sees Alec closing the door, he puts the flower away. Alec goes after Magnus.]

ALEC: Magnus. Thank you so much for being here.

MAGNUS: I'm glad Max is okay.

[Magnus turns is back to Alec, and is about to walk away.]

ALEC: I'm sorry. I should have told you about the Soul-Sword. [Magnus turns back.] I made a mistake. But you and me... we always seem to find our way back to each other. Magnus, I love you.

[Magnus strokes Alec's cheek.]

MAGNUS: I love you, too. [takes his hand back] But as a leader, there are difficult decisions I have to make to ensure the survival of my people. And the only thing holding me back from doing that... is you.

ALEC: No, no.

MAGNUS: I can't have both.

ALEC: Yes, you can. We can. We... Magnus, we can figure this out.

MAGNUS: You once asked me what I was afraid of. It's this. 

CAROLINE: This is sad. 

[Magnus turns around and walks away. They share one last look as Magnus gets onto the elevator.]

[JADE WOLF]

[Maia puts down some shots on a table for some werewolves. She goes to Luke next.]

LUKE: I see you busting out the baijiu for the new pack members.

[Luke and Maia take the last shots from the tray.]

MAIA: I will never be okay with Russell turning mundanes, but you can't knock tradition. Besides, this is one of the few things that got me through my first couple of days here. That and you.

LUKE: How's Bat doing?

[They watch him from a distance. He's sitting in a booth alone.]

MAIA: About as well as can be expected.

LUKE: Mmm.

MAIA: But I got him.

[Maia walks away from Luke, she takes a beer from a wolf and ticks it on the edge of a booth.]

MAIA: All right, everybody. Listen up.

[Everyone looks at Luke.]

LUKE: For those of you returning, welcome back. To those of you who are new, I know you're feeling afraid. [Maia sits down next to Bat.] And you won't have to go through this alone. [raising his shot, so does everyone else] Welcome, werewolves, to the New York pack.

[The werewolves cheer and smile. Everyone takes their shot. Zoom in on a little bug on the edge of Maia's booth. Cut to a camera image of the Jade Wolf.] 

KOL: That was your partner. 

LUKE: [on camera] To those of you who are new, I know you're feeling afraid. And you won't have to go through this alone. Welcome, werewolves, to the New York pack.

[Shot of Ollie and Samantha in bed watching what's happening in the Jade Wolf in shock.]

OLLIE: Now do you believe me?

[THE INSTITUTE, ALEC'S OFFICE]

[Jace, Clary, Izzy and Alec are talking about Jonathan.]

ISABELLE: Saving me from Azazel, it must have all been part of Jonathan's plan. [pause] I was the one to bring him to the Institute.

[Alec puts a hand on Izzy's shoulder.]

ALEC: Don't. We're all responsible for this.

CLARY: At least now we know Valentine can never get the Mirror and raise the Angel.

JACE: I'm not so sure. Look, even with our pure angel blood, doesn't it seem strange that Clary's runes would be powerful enough to destroy a Mortal Instrument? And why didn't it destroy the Sword?

CLARY: What if the mirror I destroyed isn't the Mortal Mirror?

JACE: Then why would your mom give it to the warlocks to protect?

CLARY: Maybe she thought it was. We all did. Maybe whoever made it wanted it that way.

[Clary has walked over to the other side of the room. She's staring at a painting of Lake Lyn.]

ISABELLE: To distract people from finding the real one.

JACE: Uh, well, the legend says that the Mirror's meant to not be easily found. That the Angels hold the key...

[Clary gets a vision in her head. It's her in Lake Lyn again, only now she sees her own reflection in the water. Again two blades are coming at her. In present time, Clary realizes something.] 

KLAUS: That lake is the mirror. 

CLARY: [turning to the group] The water. It's a reflection.

JACE: What water? What are you talking about?

CLARY: I didn't destroy the Mirror. These visions I've been having, they're a message from the Angel. [Rose and Theo join.]

ROSE: The Mirror is Lake Lyn.

[Cut to a shot of Lake Lyn.]
