▁ ▂ ▃ ▄ ▅ ▆ ▇ ▌[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

[APARTMENT BUILDING, ROOF TOP]

[Sebastian is screaming again and again. He punches the wall over and over. All out of anger.]

ACHATIUS: You Morgensterns vent out anger the same way. 

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[Valentine is going through some papers, when Sebastian enters.]

SEBASTIAN: We need to leave.

VALENTINE: What happened?

SEBASTIAN: [grabbing stuff] My position within the Institute was... compromised.

VALENTINE: Where's the Mirror?

[Sebastian takes the Soul-Sword and doesn't answer Valentine. Sebastian walks past Valentine, but Valentine grabs his wrist.] 

VALENTINE: I said, where is it?

SEBASTIAN: Clary, uh, took it from me.

VALENTINE: You know, in all honesty, I would have figured Jace, Rose and Theo to be the only Shadowhunters capable of giving you a run for your money. [Sebastian pulls himself loose, leaving the Sword with Valentine.] It's only a matter of time before the Institute comes breaking down that door. [putting the Sword over his shoulder with a strap] See, I wonder... I wonder how they learned where you live, huh?

SEBASTIAN: [turning to Valentine angrily] Okay, being discovered wasn't part of my plan! But killing you, it was.

[Valentine grabs Sebastian by his shirt.]

VALENTINE: Then it would seem you have some issues with follow-through. Doesn't it?

[Sebastian pulls away.]

[STREETS]

[Izzy, Jace, Rose, Theo and Clary are heading for Sebastian's apartment.]

ISABELLE: Clary, don't.

CLARY: No, I know that I might sound insane but Izzy he is my brother and whatever he did was because of demon blood. And I know nothing can justify it but he is not completely at fault. 

REBEKAH: You love your brother very much. 

JACE: We are beyond wrong and right. The only thing that matters now is taking Jonathan and Valentine out.

THEO: No one is touching Jonathan and it's final. 

Jonathan smiled. 

[SEBASTIAN'S APARTMENT]

[Izzy kicks open the door. They all go in, blades ready.]

ISABELLE: Jonathan!

[They see a figure sitting in a chair, his back to them.]

JACE: Turn around and face us.

ISABELLE: Where's Valentine?

[When the figure doesn't answer, Izzy puts her spear forward and turns the chair. It's Sebastian, with black eyes and black lips, dead.] 

BONNIE: That was the real one. 

CLARY: What, did Valentine kill him?

ISABELLE: He's been dead for days.

JACE: Tortured first. This was the real Sebastian Verlac.

[Jace closes the real Sebastian's eyes.]

ROSE: Ave atque vale.

ALL: Hail and farewell.

[The real Sebastian starts to shake.] 

KOL: What the bloody hell? 

CLARY: Jace!

[The real Sebastian growls. He's turned into a demon. He jumps high up on the wall. Izzy, Jace, Rose, Theo and Clary get ready with their weapons.] 

ACHATIUS: A possessing demon. 

THEO: It's a possessing demon.

CLARY: The same kind that murdered my mom.

ISABELLE: Then we know how to kill it.

[Izzy uses her whip to pull the demon down. When he's on the ground, Rose pierces it with her blade. The real Sebastian shakes and then, after a fire blast, stays still.] 

ISABELLE: We'll make 'em pay for what they did to you.

CLARY: We're going to make Valentine pay for everything.

[TITLE SCREEN]

[IDRIS, IMOGEN'S OFFICE]

[Imogen is video chatting from Idris with Alec, Jace, Rose and Theo and Clary in the Institute in Alec's office.]

IMOGEN: Have you notified the Verlac family yet?

ALEC: The Penhallow daughter, Aline, will deliver the message in person, Madam Inquisitor.

IMOGEN: Defiling the body of a fallen soldier and turning it into a booby trap is sadly par for the course for Valentine, isn't it? 

CAROLINE: It is. 

[Cut to the Institute.]

ALEC: A possessing demon wouldn't have done this on its own.

ROSE: The trap could only have been set using the Mortal Cup to command it. 

ELIJAH: He had it all along. 

IMOGEN: So he had it all along.

ALEC: And our intel shows he's also in possession of the Mortal Sword.

IMOGEN: Do you have any good news for me today, Mr. Lightwood?

ALEC: Valentine and Jonathan believe that the New York Institute is in possession of the Mortal Mirror. They won't leave the city without it.

IMOGEN: Thank the Angel that at least he wasn't able to find that.

ALEC: We were. Clary? Rose?

CLARY: My connection with the Angel led us to it.

ROSE: It's in Idris. The Mirror is Lake Lyn.

IMOGEN: That's the very same water that Raziel first rose from. Who else knows about this?

JACE: Unfortunately, the number of people we can trust is getting smaller by the day. We thought it'd be best to tell you first. And we'd like to officially request soldiers from the Gard to be placed in the surrounding woods around the lake. It may only be a matter of time before Valentine realizes he's been had. 

IMOGEN: I'll speak to Consul Malachi about deployment at once. Good hunting. 

ACHATIUS: You should not have trusted Malachi. 

[They end the call.]

JACE: So what do we do now?

CLARY: There's only nine million people in the metro area. How hard could it be to find two?

ALEC: The job is too big to go alone. We need to ask for help.

JACE: From who, Alec? 

KLAUS: Everyone.  

[Alec rises from his chair.]

ALEC: From everyone.

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus, Luke, and Raphael are having a meeting at Magnus'.]

MAGNUS: After the night is through you're gonna wish you had these.

[Magnus hands Luke and Raphael their drinks. Luke and Raphael put them down on the coffeetable. Magnus sits down.]

LUKE: Look, just because you're not willing to face Alec sober, doesn't mean the rest of us shouldn't walk into this emergency council meeting levelheaded.

MAGNUS: No need to be hurtful.

LUKE: You're right. I'm sorry. It was a long night with the cubs.

RAPHAEL: Where's Meliorn?

[Magnus holds up his hand for a second.]

MAGNUS: The Queen will be attending this very special meeting in his place.

LUKE: And exactly how do you know that?

MAGNUS: She told me. And I'd suggest you both cozy up to her, sooner rather than later.

LUKE: She's a fanatic. 

ISABALLE: Thank you Luke. She is a fanatic. 

MAGNUS: Valentine is a fanatic. The Clave is filled to the gills with fanatics. The Queen is simply a woman with a strong point of view.

LUKE: Does that strong point of view differ from breaking the Accords? Because last time I checked, war with the Clave is the order of the day.

RAPHAEL: Unless Valentine succeeds in raising Raziel. Kills everyone with demon blood first.

MAGNUS: In which case, she'd like to offer the entire Downworld protection in the Seelie Realm. She insists the Court has been beyond the reach of the Angels and their power for quite some time.

LUKE: So we live in safety as, what, her subjects? 

THEO: Nah, she prefers the term loyal guests. 

MAGNUS: "Loyal guests" is how she worded it when I brought up the same concern.

LUKE: Oh. Hmm-mmm.

RAPHAEL: [scoffs] And you believed her?

MAGNUS: I believe that Seelies cannot lie. [sighs] Look... [rising up] No pressure, but I have already accepted her offer on behalf of the warlock community in Brooklyn.

[Luke and Raphael look at each other. Then back at Magnus.] 

HOPE: There is a catch. 

LUKE: What's the catch?

MAGNUS: You're gonna want that drink now.

[THE INSTITUTE, MEETING]

[The Queen is sitting at the head of the table. Raphael is sitting next to her. Magnus and Luke are standing behind her. Izzy, Jace, Clary, Rose, Theo and Alec enter.]

SEELIE QUEEN: Where, oh, where is Simon?

CLARY: Your Highness, what an unpleasant surprise.

ALEC: Well, I'm sure she didn't mean to-

JACE: No offense, Alec, but I agree with Clary. Your Majesty, is this another one of your little games?

SEELIE QUEEN: The Institute called an emergency meeting of the Downworld Council. I speak on behalf of the Downworld.

ALEC: Magnus, is this true?

SEELIE QUEEN: Henceforth, when you need anything from the Downworld, you shall address me, Mr. Lightwood. Such is the nature of our new agreement.

ALEC: Your Highness, Valentine believes that the Institute has the Mortal Mirror and he's not going to leave the city without it. I would like the Downworld's help in locating him.

SEELIE QUEEN: In order to capture him, so that he might escape once again?

ALEC: In order to execute him, so this threat may finally end.

SEELIE QUEEN: Why should we believe you?

ALEC: I understand why you might doubt my intentions after what happened with the Soul-Sword. And for that, I am sorry. But I founded this council to make things more transparent between the Downworld and the Clave.

SEELIE QUEEN: And how has that been going?

ALEC: It's been a bit of a work in progress.

[The Seelie Queen rises.]

SEELIE QUEEN: For far too long, the Downworld has depended on the Clave and your Institute to protect us from men like Valentine. It's time we learned our lesson and started fighting for ourselves.

ALEC: We can't do this alone. Valentine is a threat to all of us.

SEELIE QUEEN: The answer, Shadowhunters, is no. [to the Downworld leaders] Come along. [She gives an apologetic look to Theo and Rose. They nod in response.] 

CAROLINE: She is a real bitch. 

REBEKAH: Agreed. 

[The Seelie Queen leaves.]

[Alec, Jace, Rose, Theo and Luke walk out of the meeting together.]

JACE: I'd say, "Let us know what you find out", but you're not allowed to do that anymore, are you?

LUKE: Sorry it had to be like this.

ALEC: Well, as long as one side catches them, that's all that matters, right?

[Luke shakes Alec's hand and is about to leave when Clary runs into the hall.]

CLARY: Luke, wait! [Luke goes back to Clary.] Why are you doing this? You and I both know the Seelie Queen doesn't have your best interests at heart. 

DAVINA: She doesn't have a heart. 

LUKE: To be honest, I don't think she has a heart. Look, I gotta think of my pack. Her court can protect us from anything that Valentine and his son can throw at us. The Institute can't.

[Clary gives Luke a hug.]

CLARY: No matter what, don't let either of them leave the city.

LUKE: Me and my wolves will die trying.

CLARY: Please, don't.

[Luke exits.]

[Cut to meeting area. Izzy approaches Raphael.]

ISABELLE: Shouldn't you be waking up every vamp in the city to start hunting?

RAPHAEL: I texted Eloise to start spreading the word. We'll search every tunnel, sewer, and darkened corner that we can. Until the sun sets. That's the best we can do. [They look at the window where light is shining through.] I'd be more than happy to join them, but Magnus was kinda my ride.

ISABELLE: Yeah, I was surprised he'd leave you behind like that.

RAPHAEL: He's got bigger things on his mind right now. He's been through a lot lately. We all have. [pause] I'm truly sorry... for everything. Our worlds turned against each other. It's... it's not quite how I pictured our paths would cross again.

ISABELLE: How did you picture it?

RAPHAEL: I made a mistake, Isabelle. And whatever there is between us, it's not just about craving each other's blood. 

Isabelle smiled. 

ISABELLE: I know. I know.

RAPHAEL: Well... if there's any good that comes out of being at the brink of war... it's being able to stand here in front of you.

ISABELLE: Do you really think it's gonna come down to war?

RAPHAEL: If the Downworld stays the course, and refuses to work with the Clave, it can be a violation of the Accords. 

ROSE: It's a good thing it never came to that. 

[JADE WOLF]

[In the back of the restaurant, the wolves have gathered to hear Maia's orders. Simon is there, too.]

MAIA: You may not like to hear it, but orders are orders. Luke said to start spreading the word, pack to pack, about Valentine and his son. It's imperative that they be found.

RUSSELL: Look, all due respect... Luke was overwhelmingly clear when we last spoke. I am only to listen to my Alpha, all right? So why should I listen to you?

MAIA: Because.

[Russell gives her a look.]

RUSSELL: That's your answer?

SIMON: Because she's the Beta wolf. And everyone knows when the Alpha's not around, the Beta's in charge. Come on, everyone knows this, man. I mean, how long have you been a werewolf? 

MATT: Nice save. 

[Russell looks back at Bat.]

BAT: Don't look at me like I'm supposed to know what he's talking about.

SIMON: [to Russell] You turned him and you don't even know the rules?

[Russell steps forward, Simon backs out immediately.]

MAIA: I think what Simon means to say is that you should probably just go. Pretty please.

[Russell and the wolves exit to the restaurant. Simon and Maia stay behind.]

MAIA: Greek alphabet, huh? Who knew dating a college boy would come in handy? 

CAROLINE: She said dating. 

SIMON: Oh, no.

MAIA: What? Was it the word "dating"?

SIMON: No, no, it was the word "college". I mean, I haven't been to school in forever. Classes started, like, a week ago, and my mom already paid the meal plans. I don't even eat anymore so she's out, like, three grand. And then... Wait. Are we dating? 

They laughed at this. 

MAIA: Would that be a bad thing?

[Simon smiles.]

SIMON: No. I... No, I just... Things like going to class and boyfriend-girlfriend, they feel very... 

FREYA: Human. 

MAIA: Mundane.

SIMON: Yeah.

MAIA: Considering how insane everything's been.

SIMON: We should just stick with... I like you, and you like me.

MAIA: But what if I like-like you?

[Clary sticks her head around the door.]

CLARY: Sorry to interrupt.

MAIA: Clary, hey. Long time.

CLARY: Hey, Maia. Um... Simon, we need to talk.

SIMON: Yeah.

[Simon goes out into the restaurant. Maia stays behind in the kitchen.]

[JADE WOLF, OUTSIDE]

[Clary and Simon exit the restaurant.]

CLARY: So, you and Maia, huh?

SIMON: Yeah. I guess it kinda just, uh... happened.

CLARY: If it makes you happy, then that's totally okay. [They stop walking] Hey. I miss you.

SIMON: I miss you, too. But take it from someone who knows all of your looks. This is not "just checking in with my best friend". What's wrong?

CLARY: Okay, look. Given everything that you and I have been through, I know that asking you for a favor right now might be a little awkward.

SIMON: Derek Russel's seventh birthday party. You sat in chocolate ice cream, and you were afraid people might-

CLARY: Yeah, you switched pants with me so that nobody would notice.

SIMON: And I was never invited to another one of his birthday parties ever again. That's awkward. This is us. You know I always have your back, Fray. And there's no job that's too big. 

Clary and Simon smiled at this. 

[Clary nods.]

CLARY: I need you to talk to the Seelie Queen.

SIMON: That job's too big.

CLARY: Hey... [grabbing his arm for a moment] Luke talked to you about what happened at the Downworld Council meeting, right? Look, if the Clave goes to war with the Downworld, everything that we know and love will be destroyed. And... you, Simon Lewis, are the one person on the planet that even has a chance of getting the Seelie Queen to change her mind and work with us. 

ACHATIUS: Convincing Amara is next to impossible, even Theo can't change her mind. 

SIMON: And how do you know this for sure?

CLARY: She asked about you.

SIMON: Me?

CLARY: Hmm-mm.

SIMON: Meeting for the fate of the whole world?

CLARY: Yeah.

SIMON: Oh, boy.

CLARY: She'll at least hear you out.

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus enters the apartment. He slowly walks to a frame on the wall, where there is a strip of pictures of him and Alec displayed. Magnus takes the strip and looks at the pictures.]

MADZIE: Magnus. 

KEELIN: Madzie. 

[Magnus throws the pictures on the desk and kneels down while Madzie runs into his arms.]

MAGNUS: Sweet Pea!

[Magnus lifts her up and turns Madzie around. Then he sets her down. It is shown that the living room is filled with other warlocks.]

MAGNUS: It's so good to see you.

MADZIE: So many warlocks all in one place.

[Madzie runs back to the balcony. She passes Catarina, who's relaxing on the couch in a nurse uniform.]

CATARINA: Don't get comfortable, kiddo.

MAGNUS: My dearest Catarina.

[Magnus leans on the couch behind her and feels her shoulders.]

MAGNUS: Hmm. Why so tense?

CATARINA: I just pulled a double in the ER. Mundanes. Can't seem to get out of their own way, can they?

MAGNUS: Hmm. You would know more than most. Thank you so much for coming, by the way.

CATARINA: Hmm. Our kind only rallies for birthdays and funerals. You're not in a suit and there's nary a cake in sight, so what's the special occasion? 

ROSE: Capturing two Morgensterns. 

MAGNUS: Remember when we bottled Malta during that god-awful demon attack?

CATARINA: What are you trying to keep out of New York?

MAGNUS: It's not "out", it's "in". It's not "what", but "who". Two very bad Shadowhunters who cannot leave.

CATARINA: Did the Clave okay this?

MAGNUS: Suffice to sya, the common ground between the Downworld and Alicante is... shifting.

CATARINA: Then it's a good thing I wear comfortable shoes. 

They laughed at this. 

[PLAYGROUND]

[Sebastian is sitting on a bench, watching a father and son play in the sand. Valentine puts a hand on his shoulder.]

VALENTINE: The others have gathered.

[Sebastian gets up and they get moving.]

SEBASTIAN: So what's our plan of attack to infiltrate the Institute?

VALENTINE: Why waste our time on that when the Mirror is actually in Idris? See, my operative in Alicante just sent me a fire message. The true Mirror is in Lake Lyn. 

KOL: There is always a betrayer. 

[Sebastian stops walking.]

SEBASTIAN: Wait, why didn't you tell me you had a spy in place?

VALENTINE: Compartmentalized information is the only way movements like the Circle can be sustained.

SEBASTIAN: Right. Right.

VALENTINE: See, the true path to victory is found by being in control of every aspect of your situation. You understand?

[Valentine turns to his people and a tied up and beat up warlock, Rufus.]

VALENTINE: Warlock, let's be on our way.

[One of Valentine's men cuts the Rufus' ropes and with disgust in his eyes, Rufus tries to make a Portal for Valentine. He grunts, tries it two times, but fails.] 

FREYA: Why wasn't he able to make portal? 

THEO: Because the portal wards around the city were erected. 

VALENTINE: Make me a Portal.

RUFUS: I can't. Someone must have erected Portal wards around the city. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't bring 'em down.

VALENTINE: Fine. We'll fly to the nearest airport, hike across the mountains to Brocelind Forest.

[Rufus looks up at the sky.]

RUFUS: I've seen this type of ward before, but they're rare. They're wired to keep Nephilim blood from passing through. You're trapped.

[Valentine pulls Rufus by his shirt, then throws him on the ground. Everyone then hears wolves howling.]

VALENTINE: Hold them at bay as long as you can. Jonathan. You and I have to keep moving. Are you with me?

SEBASTIAN: Until the bitter end. 

CAROLINE: You shouldn't be with him. 

JONATHAN: Don't worry, eventually, I fight against him. 

VALENTINE: Good.

[A large pack of wolves comes running at Valentine's people. The people get ready to attack.]

[PARK, BRIDGE]

[Simon is standing on the bridge, looking down at the water. The water is the Portal to the Seelie Realm.]

SIMON: [calling out to the water] I have an open invitation with the Queen herself. I just need a minute... [looks at a passenger walking by who looks at him strangely] I just need a minute of her time and-

SEELIE QUEEN: And so you show up unannounced? 

TYLER: Who is that? 

JACE: Seelie Queen as a teenager. 

[A young lady has approached him. Simon does not realize it is the Seelie Queen in an older form.]

SIMON: No, this is a game I play. With my, uh... [pointing at the woman that just passed him] my neighbor and her kid. Walking away pretending not to know me is part of the game. The kid made it up. We pretend there are fairies in the water and I'm the only one that can talk to them.

SEELIE QUEEN: Silly boy. The Fair Folk hide beyond the water, not in it.

SIMON: You're a Seelie. Great. Uh, I need a minute with your Queen.

SEELIE QUEEN: Your Queen stands before you.

SIMON: [confused] You were a child, and now you're... confusing.

SEELIE QUEEN: Different outfits for different occasions.

[The Seelie Queen walks forward, Simon steps back a bit.]

SIMON: Hmm.

SEELIE QUEEN: You're wary of me, aren't you? Is it because of the little game I played with you and your friends in my Court?

SIMON: No, no, not at all. That's all water under the... [Simon looks at his surroundings, shakes his head] Your Highness, I'm here on business. That whole "moving out against the Clave" thing, that could lead to war. I ask that you please reconsider. I mean, you have to know this won't end well, regardless of who stops Valentine.

SEELIE QUEEN: So long as you're at my side when the wind changes, [stroking his hair] not a single hair on that perfect head of yours will be tousled. 

KLAUS: She doesn't wants thing to end well, she wants war. 

ACHATIUS: Late but right realisation. 

SIMON: You don't want things to end well, do you? You want war.

SEELIE QUEEN: I want change. And you, Daylighter. Join me in my Court. Give me what I ask, and I shall grant you whatever your heart desires.

SIMON: Thanks, but no thanks, Your Highness.

[Simon walks away. The Queen calls after him.]

SEELIE QUEEN: You've refused me twice now. [Simon faces the Queen.] No one, in my very long life, has ever dared do such a thing.

SIMON: Well... considering you're trying to get vampires, werewolves, and warlocks to play nice... might wanna get used to some rejection. 

JEREMY: That was hard. You insulted her on her face. 

[Simon smiles and walks away.]

[STREETS]

[Maia and Luke get in Luke's car. Cut to the Institute where Clary's phone rings. Luke's calling her.]

CLARY: I thought you weren't supposed to be helping us.

[Clary, Rose, Theo and Jace are listening to Luke on speaker.]

LUKE: [on speaker phone] Consider this an anonymous tip. We ran down his Circle members, but we lost Valentine when Jonathan grabbed him and pinballed up three fire escapes and leapt out of sight.

MAIA: Yeah, blondie moves like a demon. 

JONATHAN: Because I have demon blood. 

CLARY: That's because he has demon blood.

[Jace and Rose pull up a holographic map of the city. Cut to Maia and Luke.]

MAIA: On the plus side, he won't get very far.

LUKE: Yeah. By order of the queen. Warlocks have put up wards all around the city. No Portals or travel in or out for anyone with Nephilim blood. A Shadowhunter crosses that threshold, they get vaporized. So be careful. We'll continue the hunt on our end.

[They hang up. Luke turns on his siren and starts driving. Cut back to the Institute. Jace, Rose and Theo turn to some other Shadowhunters.]

JACE: Hey, spread the word. Shadowhunter movement into and out of the city stops immediately.

MAN: Okay.

WOMAN: We're on it.

THEO: [to Clary] No more Shadowhunters die today.

ALEC: Hey.

[Alec walks up to the table.]

ALEC: Isabelle is on her way back with Rufus. Guess who just tried to Portal to Idris? Valentine must know that we don't have the Mirror. And, presumably, where the real one is.

JACE: Look, let's stay focused on what we can control, not what we can't. We will figure this out.

ALEC: So, we're stuck inside the city alone with that man?

[Jace and Alec's voices fade as Clary gets images of memories in her head, all about her creating new runes.] 

KOL: A new rune. 

CLARY: [in her head] Who's JC?

ALEC: ... Anti-tracking runes...

CLARY: I might be able to speed things up. But I'm gonna need Jace's help to do it. [Rose and Theo nodded.]

[CEMETERY]

[Sebastian and Valentine are walking through the cemetery.]

SEBASTIAN: A cemetery? 

CLARY: Shadowhunters favourite place to hide weapons. 

VALENTINE: As you may recall, Shadowhunters keep a secret stash of weapons on holy ground.

SEBASTIAN: Enough to hold off the entire Downworld?

VALENTINE: And then some, my boy. And then some.

[THE INSTITUTE, COURTYARD]

[Jace and Clary enter the courtyard. It is lit up by lots of candles.]

JACE: So you wanna use your blood to track your untrackable brother through the angelic connection that you and I share? Totally. That sounds great. Doable. 

ACHATIUS: You should stop underestimating her. 

CLARY: [throwing her jacket on a bench] Yeah. I wanna try. Jonathan, Rose and I have Morgenstern blood in our veins. I had this flash of a rune when I was thinking about the four of us. Maybe I can use our shared connections to figure out where Jonathan is. [starts drawing a rune on her arm] Which I realize, thinking back, is a bit far-fetched, but hey, this from the girl who can shoot sunlight out of her hand and make Portals out of thin air.

JACE: Well, sometimes.

CLARY: Well...

[Clary steps closer and pulls Jace's shirt up.]

CLARY: Help me find a blank spot? [Clary found a blank spot on his pec] Um, could you...

[Jace takes off his shirt. Clary starts drawing the rune. It is an intense and intimate moment. When they look in each other's eyes, all their runes start to light up. Jace strokes Clary's hair. He holds her. Suddenly, there is a burst of energy, their runes go back to normal, and Jace lets go.] 

CAROLINE: So, intinmate. Like love in the air. 

[CEMETERY]

[A funeral is going on in the distance. Sebastian and Valentine are still walking, when Sebastian suddenly stops because he feels a rune burning. He grunts.]

VALENTINE: What's wrong?

SEBASTIAN: I think we've been located.

[Sebastian pulls his sleeve up. His anti-tracking rune is lighting up.]

SEBASTIAN: Despite my Anti-tracking rune.

VALENTINE: I won't say that I'm not impressed, but... this certainly complicates things.

[They continue walking.]

SEBASTIAN: How long will it take your remaining soldiers to locate the source of the wards?

VALENTINE: Time is a luxury that we no longer have. There's an avenue of escape which I'm hesitant to explore. I'll need you to hold the Institute at bay while I do what needs to be done. 

HOPE: He was leaving you there. 

SEBASTIAN: I see. I'm a dead weight, am I? I know when I'm being played.

VALENTINE: Believe me, where I need to go, it's too dangerous for you to follow. You, Jonathan Morgenstern, are brilliant. And as cunning and vicious as I have ever hoped for. Listen to me. I will come back for you. I promise. 

DAVINA: He was lying. 

SEBASTIAN: I will kill them all. [in mind] You are betraying me and you think I am a fool. No, I am not, father. 

ACHATIUS: Morgensterns are no fool, a decade is enough to learn that. 

VALENTINE: Then let's stack the deck in your favor.

[Valentine turns to the funeral man standing by the tree with a shovel, who's ready to bury the coffin.]

VALENTINE: Excuse me. I couldn't help but notice your tattoo there.

[The guy looks down the tattoo on his wrist of an anchor.]

MAN: Yeah.

VALENTINE: You ever thought about getting a second one? 

HOPE: He was going to rune him. 

ROSE: Making him a forsaken and loyal to daddy dearest. 

[At that moment, Sebastian pulls the man back. Holding him in position while Valentine draws the angelic rune above the anchor on the man's arm.]

VALENTINE: Feel the angelic power coursing through your body? See, it empowers my kind, but... it drives yours to a certain kind of madness.

[Sebastian lets the man go. He falls to the ground and black veins start spreading over his face. He lets out a demonic scream.]

VALENTINE: Take care of my son, will you? And do as he says. [to Sebastian] I'll go find some more.

[Valentine walks to the other side of the tree, where the funeral is. He approaches a grieving woman.]

VALENTINE: I'm sorry for your loss.

WOMAN: Thank you.

[CEMETERY]

[The night has fallen. A Portal opens and Clary, Izzy, Jace, Rose, Theo and Alec exit.]

CLARY: Why would they hide in a graveyard?

ISABELLE: They probably raided an old weapons cache.

JACE: It doesn't explain what happened to everybody else here.

[Alec notices something of the funeral.] 

ELIJAH: They didn't left. 

ALEC: I don't think they left.

ISABELLE: Another demon trap.

ALEC: Let's split up. Teams of two.

[Clary and Jace at the same time:] 

CLARY: I'll go with Izzy and Rose.

JACE: I'll go with Alec and Theo. 

They chuckled at this sentence. 

[Everyone shares some looks.]

ALEC: Okay.

ROSE: As promised, no one is killing him. [All of them nod.]

[They split up and start running to different tombs. Cut to Clary, Rose and Isabelle, they're sneaking past the graves.]

ISABELLE: Wanna talk about whatever happened between you and Jace at the Institute?

CLARY: There's no point in talking about any of that till we figure this out.

Rose: Hmm.

[Cut to Alec, Theo and Jace.]

JACE: Thank you for not asking any questions about Clary.

ALEC: I figure you'll talk when you're ready.

JACE: I knew there was a reason you were my parabatai.

THEO: True. But it's not like you won't talk about this.

[Cut to Clary, Rose and Izzy. Clary goes in front.]

ISABELLE: Stop.

[Cut to Jace, Theo and Alec. They hear growling coming from behind a wooden door. Cut back to Clary, Rose and Izzy. They have found one of the funeral women lying by a tomb.] 

HAYLEY: She is one of the mad woman turned by your father. 

CLARY: Is she hurt?

ISABELLE: No.

ROSE: She's Forsaken.

[At that moment, the woman sits up and growls. Her face is grey and her mouth and teeth are black. Cut back to Jace, Rose and Alec. The door opens and a bunch of Forsaken funeral people get out. Alec, Theo and Jace start fighting them. Behind Alec, two Forsakens crashes through the wood, grabbing Alec and Theo pulling them through the wall.] 

ELENA: This is bad. 

JACE: Alec! Theo!

THEO: Jace!

ALEC: Jace!

[Before Jace can help Alec or Theo, Jace is grabbed by Sebastian. Sebastian has put a chain around Jace's neck.] 

JACE: That did hurt. 

JONATHAN: I would be lying if I say I didn't enjoy that. 

ROSE: Stop it right there. 

SEBASTIAN: Hello, brother. Mind if I take you outside for a moment?

[Sebastian pulls Jace up the stairs with the chain. Jace is struggling. Cut back to Izzy, Rose and Clary, who are now also fighting an army of the Forsaken. They kill them all and think they're done when two more are coming for them from the other side of the tomb. Then, two arrows is shot through both of their heads from behind them. It's Alec and Theo.] 

ELENA: Nice shot. 

ALEC: [approaching Clary, Theo and Izzy] I think that's the last of them.

ISABELLE: Alec, Theo, are you okay?

ALEC: We're okay.

CLARY: Where's Jace?

ALEC: Sebastian.

THEO: We gotta find him.

CLARY: Guys!

[From where Alec was just standing, an army of Forsaken is heading for them. Izzy, Clary, Rose, Theo and Alec get ready.] 

MATT: It was a whole army. 

CLARY: Izzy, Rose, Alec and I got this. Go get Sebastian. You've got the whip. The electrum. We know it can hurt him. And you have more power. Go!

[Izzy and Rose run out as the Forsaken charge for Alec, Theo and Clary. Alec shoots an arrow.]

[BRIDGE]

[Sebastian is still pulling Jace by the chains. Jace is choking. They're crossing a bridge.]

SEBASTIAN: You'll make an excellent trophy to present Father with.

[Sebastian throws the chain over one of the metal beams and pulls Jace up. Jace is now hanging a little above the bridge ground. He laughs a little.]

SEBASTIAN: Lack of oxygen getting to your brain, is it?

JACE: He left you. He's probably not coming back.

SEBASTIAN: My father is a man of his word.

JACE: He made you spaghetti, too.

SEBASTIAN: He'll be back for me.

JACE: No.

SEBASTIAN: He will.

JACE: He abandoned you. Again. He came back for me, though. It kinda makes me the favorite son, doesn't it? 

FREYA: You were provoking him. 

[Sebastian pulls harder on the chain.]

SEBASTIAN: If you are trying to goad me into a fight... [Sebastian lets go of the chain. Jace falls to the ground, still having trouble breathing] ...it is working!

[Sebastian pulls out a sword and gives it to Jace. He then takes another blade for himself. Jace gets the chains off of him and gets up.] 

JACE: Care to find out who's the best JC once and for all? 

CAROLINE: You two were going to kill each other. 

[They get ready.]

SEBASTIAN: It would be my absolute delight.

[They start fighting. They charge again and continue fighting.] 

SEBASTIAN: You know, my father taught me about a certain spot on a man's back where you can stab him through his spine and the heart at the same time. Would you mind awfully if I showed you?

JACE: You know, for a split second, when I found those journals, I actually felt sorry for you. 

ACHATIUS: The last thing a Morgenstern needs is pity. 

SEBASTIAN: I don't need your pity. I need your life.

[They continue fighting. Sebastian stabs Jace in his lung. Blood comes from his mouth. Sebastian pulls the blade out and pushes Jace to the ground. Sebastian stands on Jace's arm.] 

ROSE: You know after this stunt you two pulled, it proved that my brothers are idiots. 

CLARY: Something I totally agree. 

SEBASTIAN: I wonder... have you stopped blathering on because I just [puts his foot on the wound] punctured your lung? Or maybe you've realized, here at the end... that I have always been better than you?

[Sebastian wants to go in for one last blow, but then, his sword is pulled back by Izzy's whip. Rose also comes.]

ISABELLE: Stay away from him, you son of a bitch.

[Izzy comes at Sebastian, her whip whipping against the metal of the bridge.]

SEBASTIAN: Well, I suppose this won't be a fair fight, then, will it?

ISABELLE: You didn't seem to have a problem when you took a run at my baby brother.

[Izzy whips her whip and causes a wound below Sebastian's eye.]

ISABELLE: I trusted you when I was at my weakest, at my lowest. I brought you into my life, into my family, and you betrayed me.

[Izzy whips again, Sebastian grabs onto the ends of the whip, burning his hands but pulling Izzy in.]

SEBASTIAN: I saved your life. That should be worth something.

ISABELLE: That's why I'm giving you a more honorable death than you deserve.

[Izzy lets go of the whip, Sebastian stumbles back, right into Jace's sword. Jace has had the time to get up and get ready. The blade was about to pierce through Sebastian's heart.] 

BONNIE: You were about to kill him. 

JACE: That spot on a man's back... Father taught me, too.

[Rose holds the sword in mid air with magic. She blasts Jace with magic.]

ROSE: Stop! For God's sake stop. Just stop! [She yells.]

JONATHAN: Why did you save me?

ROSE: Because you are my brother. Just, listen to me, once. [She walks towards him.] Jonathan, you are my family, my blood. For world you might be a demon blooded monster but for me you are just a boy who craves for love. You got a father, who injects you demon blood, when you didn't even came in this world. You were just a mere experiment for him. A mother, who despised you and saw you as an abomination, a filthy monster. [All of them were in tears.] 

People in the hall were also in tears. 

ROSE: You never asked for any of this. You don't deserve this. Our family is the greatest cause of our sorrow, Jonathan. But I love you, Clary loves you and most importantly, Theo loves you. I know I can't go back in the past and take the time back which you spend in Edom. The torture you went through. The least I can do this is take away that pain when you look at those memories. [She puts hands on his temples.] Do you trust me? 

KLAUS: What were you doing? 

ROSE: Taking the pain away. 

JONATHAN: I do. [She closed her eyes and her hands glowed, tears escape from her eyes as she takes all those pain and she feels it to. She takes her hand back.] 

REBEKAH: You felt it too, didn't you? 

Rose nodded. 

ROSE: Brother, I won't force you two join us. But you have two options, either join Valentine or help us defeat him and you avenge him for all the pain he caused you.

JONATHAN: I am sorry, for what I did. And I want to make things right. I will help you defeat Valentine. [They smiled. Rose took a deep breath and their bodies started to rise in air. A white light from Rose's chest connects Jonathan's body. His whole body glows and a very bright light was emitting. Jace and Isabelle also covered their eyes.] 

Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. 

KOL: What the hell is this? 

ACHATIUS: She was returning Jonathan his original body. 

[Alec, Theo and Clary come running up the bridge.]

ALEC: What's happening?

JACE: We don't know.

[Jonathan and Rose land on the bridge again. He gets his Original body back. He touches his hand and gets surprised.]

JONATHAN: What did you do?

ROSE: Gave back your Original body. Plus, now the demon blood won't be able to control you.

[They hugged. Theo walks towards him and they kiss. Everybody smiles.] 

HAYLEY: Things ended well, here. 

[THE INSTITUTE, INFIRMARY]

[Clary is standing by Jace, who's laying on a table that's half-up.]

JACE: You know, you don't have to heal them all at once.

[Clary is going over Jace's runes with her stele.]

CLARY: Valentine is still out there.

JACE: [sighs] Yeah, well, at least we got Jonathan, who will help us right?

CLARY: If we would've been one second later, he would've died or you have...

JACE: People die in war, Clary.

CLARY: [shaking her head] My mom, and Dot and... I can't lose you, too.

JACE: You're not the only person afraid of losing someone.

CLARY: I am tired of being afraid.

[Jace leans in and kisses Clary. Clary kisses him back.]

REBEKAH: You two love birds finally reconcile. 

[STREETS, CHINA TOWN]

[Luke is on the phone with Alec.]

LUKE: Thanks, Alec. Yeah, I'll inform the council. And by council, I mean the Queen. Yeah. Give Maryse my best.

[Simon sees Luke and runs towards him.]

SIMON: Luke! [Luke hangs up the phone.] Oh. There you are. We need to talk. Have you seen Maia?

LUKE: No, she's supposed to meet me here. We're gonna tell the wolves that Jonathan's with us and his demon blood under control but Valentine's still out there.

SIMON: Oh, no.

LUKE: What?

SIMON: I went back to the boat basin, and I found this outside of the Jade Wolf. It's Maia's.

[Simon hands Luke a phone with a cracked screen.]

SIMON: What happened to her? 

DAVINA: The Seelie bitch took her. 

LUKE: I don't know.

[SEELIE REALM]

[Maia wakes up on the ground and feels her head. She looks at her surroundings and slowly gets up.]

MAIA: Someone drugged me.

[Maia gasps as suddenly Seelies have surrounded her completely.]

MAIA: Where's the Queen?

MELIORN: Her Majesty will be along shortly, just as soon as she's dealt with a more pressing matter.

[PARK, BRIDGE]

[Valentine is standing on the bridge, the Soul-Sword still on his back. He meets the Queen there.]

SEELIE QUEEN: It's been a long time.

VALENTINE: [bows] Your Majesty. So good to see you once again.

SEELIE QUEEN: You've kept the Downworld quite busy today. How pleased they'll be when I deliver your head on a pike.

VALENTINE: I haven't asked you here to fight, nor come here to be captured. I've come to make you a deal. 

ELIJAH: She will agree. 

SEELIE QUEEN: [scoffs] What could you have that I could possibly want?

[Valentine leans in and whispers something in her ear. Immediately, the Queen's army sets a step forward. Valentine finishes whispering and stands back. The Queen smiles.] 

KOL: She will help her escape. 

SEELIE QUEEN: Walk with me, won't you? It's such a lovely night.

VALENTINE: Though not so beautiful as what tomorrow may bring to the both of us.

SEELIE QUEEN: Hmm.

[The Queen holds out her arm and Valentine takes it. They walk off the bridge into the park as the Seelie army stays behind.]
