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.

[HUNTER'S MOON]

[Clary and Simon are sitting at a table at the Hunter's Moon. Simon has his eyes closed. Clary slips a pamphlet forward.] 

CLARY: Okay, open.

[Simon opens his eyes and looks at the pamphlet of Rock Solid Panda with Clary's drawing on it in his hands.]

CLARY: I kind of booked a show for you.

SIMON: [chuckles] Okay. Clary, this is amazing, but... Rock Solid Panda's kind of extinct now. There's no rock. There's no solid. I'm just a, a lone panda. 

They chuckled a little at this. 

CLARY: I've heard the music you're writing. It's... it's incredible. You'll be fine. You can rock solid on your own.

SIMON: NO, see, it's one thing to jam in the boat basin. It's another thing to play here. In front of... actual people.

CLARY: What, I'm not an actual person?

SIMON: No, not at all.

CLARY: No?

SIMON: You're, like, on a totally different plane.

CLARY: I'll take that as a compliment.

[Clary leans in and they kiss. Maia and Jace watch from the bar.]

MAIA: It'd be cute if it wasn't so... constant.

JACE: Nope. Not even then.

MAIA: Must especially suck for you.

JACE: Why?

[Maia pulls a face and then chuckles.]

MAIA: So, this rumor about you being Shadowhunter royalty, that true?

JACE: I don't know, can you get me free drinks at the Hunter's Moon? 

They chuckled. 

MAIA: Let's not get crazy.

[They both chuckle.]

JACE: I don't know what I am. I've had three different last names in a summer. Now I'm a Herondale. All I know is I'm the same Jace. 

KOL: You went through a serious personality disorder, mate. 

MAIA: God help us.

[Kaelie walks up to the bar.]

KAELIE: [to Maia] Shot of tequila. Double. 

JACE: [to Maia] Uh, make that two. Her shots are on me. [to Kaelie] Hey, Kaelie, long time.

[Maia puts the shot for Kaelie on the bar.]

KAELIE: [to Maia] Thank you.

[Kaelie takes off the lime and pours the tequila all over Jace's jeans. Kaelie walks away and Maia laughs.] 

They laughed a little at this. 

JONATHAN: This kind of rejection suits you, Jace. 

Jace made a face. 

MAIA: Man, rejection is so much more fun when it's happening to you.

[Maia throws Jace a towel and takes a shot herself.]

JACE: [drying himself off] You don't make up a lot of tips, huh?

MAIA: Word of advice? I'd spare the Downworlder charm for a little bit. That Soul Sword you ignited killed a whole lot of them. 

DAMON: She was right. 

[Jace looks back at Clary and Simon. Jace catches Clary's eye.]

CLARY: [to Simon] Hey, let's get out of here. Yeah?

SIMON: Yeah.

[They walk out. Jace downs his drink.]

[STREETS]

[Clary and Simon exit the bar.]

SIMON: What if they hate my music so bad that they start throwing their pretzel sticks at me? 

CAROLINE: You have such a sweet voice, someone throwing sticks over you would be an idiot. 

CLARY: I'll take them down before they get the chance. You're gonna be fine, Simon. [Suddenly, Simon stops walking.] What's wrong?

SIMON: I smell blood.

[They go into an alley and see blood and flesh lying in a puddle. On the skin, the image of a rune is visible.]

CLARY: Oh, my God. That looks like...

SIMON: Human flesh. 

KLAUS: With a rune. 

CLARY: Simon, that's a rune.

[Clary pulls out her sword, when she and Simon start following the trail of flesh. They turn around a corner and see a man lying there. All his runes are carved out.] 

FINN: With all those marks out. 

[TITLE SCREEN]

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[The elevator doors open. Izzy enters the Institute and approaches Alec and Theo.]

ALEC: Heard from Mom. 

THEO: Max is on his way.

ISABELLE: Feels like just yesterday we were taking knives away from him.

ALEC: He's lucky to have you as a tutor.

ISABELLE: Alec, Theo, maybe it's a mistake putting me in charge of him. 

MAX: Oh, sis you are the best tutor I can ever have. 

THEO: Are you kidding? Izzy, you're the smartest one here and one of our toughest fighters.

ISABELLE: But it's just... I don't totally feel like myself yet.

ALEC: What about those mundane meetings you mentioned?

ISABELLE: They're helping, even though they think I'm talking about heroin. 

They chuckled a bit. 

[Izzy turns around when she hears Jace's words. Jace and Clary approach Alec, Theo and Izzy. Rose also comes there.]

JACE: Shadowhunter down!

CLARY: Milo Keytower.

ISABELLE: What happened?

IMOGEN: [joining in] From what I understand, his runes were carved out. Is that true, Jace?

JACE: Yes, after he was attacked by a wolf.

CLARY: He had multiple bite and claw marks.

ISABELLE: What kind of werewolf randomly attacks a Shadowhunter?

ELIJAH: The one who wants to send message. 

ROSE: One who's trying to send a message.

IMOGEN: And get the attention of the Clave.

CLARY: We need to find them before this happens again.

IMOGEN: Well, I think I have a pretty good idea who it is.

[JADE WOLF, OUTSIDE]

[Simon is walking from his container to the restaurant, when he hears a shadow moving behind him. Simon turns around.]

SIMON: Really, Raphael? Not tonight. Come on. [Other vamps appear from behind a boat.] Oh, you guys. Did Raphael send you with some sort of threat? 

Simon gritted his teeth seeing Quinn. 

QUINN: [circling around Simon] No, this isn't about Raphael. This is about you.

ANNA: We wanna be in your clan.

SIMON: Uh, I don't... I don't have a clan. I'm a music major at NYU, so...

QUINN: For centuries, we've heard the legend of how one day a great leader would come. A vampire who can walk in the daylight. We always thought it was a myth, folklore.

ANNA: You're proof that the legends are true.

SIMON: Me? Me? Come on, guys.

QUINN: We're here for you. Whatever you need, Daylighter.

ANNA: All you have to do is ask.

SIMON: Well, uh... thank you. I really appreciate it. But, uh, I'm good. So... All right, look, you guys seem really cool, for real. But, uh, I'm not really looking for a posse at the moment. So, you guys should go back and hang with Raphael. He's much more, you know, fit to be the clan leader type, so...

[Simon walks to the Jade Wolf.]

ANNA: You know where to find us.

[Simon enters the Jade Wolf.]

[JADE WOLF]

[Simon and Luke are sitting at a table.]

SIMON: You know me, Luke. I'm no leader and I never have been.

LUKE: Don't sell yourself short. Not everybody can start a band when they're 18.

SIMON: Well, that band totally imploded. You wanna meet my new band? 'Cause you're looking right at it. Look, all I wanna do is go to college and hang out with my girlfriend. Is that too much to ask?

LUKE: About that... I hope you and Clary are, you know, being safe. 

CAROLINE: You meant controling bloodlust. 

SIMON: Yeah, yeah, um, totally. But I figured 'cause of the vampire thing, I... I couldn't, um... I couldn't really get Clary–

LUKE: Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's... I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about the bloodlust.

SIMON: Right, yeah, of course. Well, uh, if things get too heated, I can... I know how to pull back.

LUKE: Uh, just don't get overconfident. I've seen it happen before. You know, temptation and emotion–

SIMON: Can we talk about any other topic but this?

LUKE: Absolutely.

[Alec, Rose, Theo and Jace have entered the restaurant. They approach Luke and Simon's table.]

ALEC: Luke, we need to talk.

JACE: A Shadowhunter's been mutilated and killed by a wolf.

[The other wolves in the restaurant are silent and look at Alec, Rose, Theo and Jace with suspicion.]

LUKE: Watch your tone in here.

SIMON: How do you know a wolf killed him?

ALEC: 'Cause of the claw marks 

THEO: And traces of DNA on the body.

ROSE: Luke, the inquisitor would like you to come in. 

JACE: Just to answer a few questions.

[THE INSTITUTE, IMOGEN'S OFFICE]

[Luke is being questioned by Imogen. Jace, Rose, Theo and Alec are in the room, too.]

LUKE: Are you questioning me or are you accusing me?

IMOGEN: A week ago, you demanded the destruction of the Soul Sword. A demand which, of course, is impossible to even consider. Which leads me to wonder, was this killing an act of revenge on the Clave?

LUKE: You think that I would murder a Shadowhunter?

IMOGEN: We all know about your temper, Lucian.

ALEC: [whispering to Jace, Rose and Theo] Does she really think Luke did this? 

DAVINA: Yeah, at that time she thought that only. 

LUKE: Take my DNA. Test it against your evidence. I'm not your wolf. And if anyone in my pack did it, I'll kill them myself.

IMOGEN: Take him down to the lab.

[Luke stands up and he, Theo, Rose and Alec leave the room. Jace is about to leave to, but Imogen calls him back.]

IMOGEN: A word, Jace?

JACE: Luke didn't do this. I'm sure his DNA will prove it.

IMOGEN: That's the Herondale in you. We trust our gut and act accordingly. You know, when your father died, I thought the Herondale name would end with him. But by the grace of the Angel, I was wrong. I see so much of your father in you. But those eyes... those eyes you got from your mother. 

Jace smiled at this. 

JACE: What was she like? My mom.

IMOGEN: Céline was beautiful. Golden hair like yours. She was so smart, so headstrong. You definitely got your stubbornness from her. If they could see you now, Jace, they would be so proud of you. [Imogen and Jace smile.] I will be heading back to Idris soon, and I will be appointing a new head of this Institute.

JACE: It should be Alec. He's a born leader. There's no better man for the job.

IMOGEN: Yes, mister Lightwood certainly is one of our best and brightest. But I'm appointing you, Jace. 

ELENA: You were the new head. 

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Alec is working on the computer, meanwhile he's talking to Jace.]

ALEC: Congratulations. 

THEO: [joining in] Congratulations. 

ROSE: [joining in] Many many congratulations. 

JACE: It should've been you, Alec. I told her that.

ALEC: The Clave was never gonna hand it to me. I'm dating a guy who's a Downworlder.

JACE: Look, Alec, I didn't want this. I swear.

THEO: You're a Herondale. Get used to the perks.

[The alarm starts blaring. Clary, Lindsay and some other Shadowhunters enter the Ops Center.]

JACE: What happened?

CLARY: We found Rosegreen and Penmount dead in the Bowery. Runes carved out. 

HOPE: There were more bodies like this. 

LINDSAY: Just like Keytower.

[The bodies are wheeled in on stretchers.]

ROSE: [looking at Penmount] Except Penmount's been drained by a vampire.

THEO: [looking at Rosegreen] And Rosegreen was lanced by a Seelie knight.

CLARY: It's not just a lone wolf. It's multiple Downworlders.

JACE: Luke was right all along. These Downworlders want revenge. This could be the start of an uprising.

[HALLWAY]

[A man is tied to a stretcher and wheeled through an industrial hallway by a dark figure. He screams. There's a cut to a dim room. The jacket of the man, now revealed to be a Shadowhunter, is cut open. The figure takes a knife and starts carving out the man's runes.] 

BONNIE: The runes were carved out of this body. 

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Imogen is speaking to all the Shadowhunters.]

IMOGEN: Another Shadowhunter was found dead last night in Williamsburg. This time, murdered by a warlock. In this time of crisis, it is essential that we maintain strong leadership. That is why I am naming Jace Herondale head of the Institute, effective upon my departure to Idris. Dismissed.

[The crowd dissolves. Alec, Izzy, and Clary come up to Jace.]

JACE: Let's not make a big deal about this. She's still in charge until she leaves.

ISABELLE: Still! Being appointed head of the Institute and finding out you're a Herondale? Don't let it get to your head.

CLARY: So Herondales are what, like, the Kennedys of the Shadow World?

ROSE: It's an old Shadowhunter family, like the Lightwoods and Morgensterns. Though, our father did every possible thing to ruin our family name's reputation. 

ALEC: Yeah. 

ISABELLE: But we're the Kennedys.

[They've walked to a conference table.]

JACE: Let's focus on what matters. The inquisitor would like us to reach out to our allies to see what they know. At this point, she considers all Downworlders suspects.

ALEC: That's casting a pretty broad net.

CLARY: She can't possibly think any of our friends did this.  

TYLER: Luke was already cleared of this. 

JACE: And well, we'll prove that to her. Since Luke's DNA cleared him, we should collect samples from all of our friends to clear them as well. I'll make an Institute-wide announcement.

CLARY: I'll go talk to Simon.

ROSE: Great.

ISABELLE: I'll go see Raphael.

ALEC and THEO: No.

JACE: Why not? [Alec, Theo and Izzy sigh.] 

ROSE: Are we missing something here? 

ISABELLE: Jace, Rose, I'm a yin fen addict.

JACE: Excuse me? 

ROSE: What? 

ISABELLE: It's a long story, but I'm better now. Not perfect, but better. Definitely good enough to hunt down whoever's murdering our people.

JACE: Okay. We'll take all the help we can get. Just report back with any leads, okay?

[Jace nods and walks away with Rose.]

ALEC: [to Izzy] We're going with you.

ISABELLE: No. I'll have more traction with Raphael if it's just me. I'll leave as soon as Max is settled. Alec, Theo, I can handle this. You two just have to trust me. 

THEO: We do, okay. 

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus opens the door for Alec.]

MAGNUS: Alexander.

ALEC: Wow. You look very...

MAGNUS: I was bored, needed a change.

[Alec enters, and Magnus closes the door. They kiss.] 

ALEC: Is everything okay?

MAGNUS: Yeah, I've been worried sick. With all these attacks, you shouldn't be out on your own.

ALEC: Well, I'm not on my own. I'm here with you. High Warlock of Brooklyn. [Alec walks towards the living room.] A body was found in Williamsburg. Have you heard anything?

MAGNUS: No, but warlocks don't report their misdeeds to me. If they did, my phone would never stop ringing. 

THEO: True. 

[Alec turns back to Magnus.]

ALEC: Magnus, I need your hair. It's just a strand for a DNA test to clear you.

MAGNUS: I didn't realize there was anything I needed to be cleared of. Do you not trust my word? 

CAROLINE: You were hurt. 

ALEC: Of course I trust you. I know you had nothing to do with this. It's just this is... It's Clave orders.

MAGNUS: I see. So, again, you're just blindly carrying out orders? What happened to following your gut?

ALEC: Magnus, Shadowhunters are being slaughtered. I'm just asking for a strand of hair. Let's not be overdramatic.

MAGNUS: Well, I wouldn't want to be overdramatic.

[With a hurt look on his face, Magnus pulls out a hair. Alec holds out a little envelope, Magnus puts the hair in it.]

ALEC: Thank you.

MAGNUS: Get out.

BONNIE: Pretty angry.

ALEC: What? Magnus, come on.

[Magnus snaps his fingers and the front door opens. Alec sighs and leaves.]

[SIMON'S CONTAINER]

[Clary is sitting on the bed. Simon is cleaning some of his music stuff.]

CLARY: Luke did it. He gave a DNA sample. It was his idea. He knew it would clear him.

SIMON: You know my Bubbie Helen?

CLARY: Yeah, of course.

SIMON: When she was little, her family owned a bakery in Poland. One day, these soldiers came in and asked to put a star in the window. They wanted to know which shops were Jewish-run. You know, no big deal, for the records. Then they had to wear white armbands, and they couldn't ride the train. Then they were forced to ride the train. My Bubbie Helen was the only one in her family to survive.

HAYLEY: That's why you didn't want to do it.

SIMON: Yes.

[Simon has come closer to Clary. Clary stands up from the bed.]

CLARY: Simon. I'm so sorry. I didn't realize–

SIMON: That's why I can't do what you're asking. For her.

[Clary nods.]

[STREETS]

[Clary is walking. Her phone rings, she picks it up. Cut to who's talking (Simon in container).]

CLARY: Hi, Simon.

SIMON: Where are you?

CLARY: Two blocks away from where I was when you called me 20 seconds ago.

SIMON: You see, this is stupid. I shouldn't have let you convince me you were okay to walk home alone.

CLARY: I'm fine. I'll be home in like...

[A figure hits Clary from behind, she falls on the ground.]

THEY GASPED A LITTLE.

SIMON: Clary? Hello? Hello?

[Clary tries to hit her attacker.]

SIMON: Clary? Clary, are you okay?

[Simon leaves the container. Clary tries to activate her healing rune, but she's too weak. She passes out.]

STEFAN: You passed out.

[Shot of Clary being dragged by a mysterious figure. Simon, looking for her, sees her and calls out. The figure runs away. Simon's voice wakes Clary up. They're in the streets again.]

SIMON: Clary! Clary, you okay? Clary, can you hear me? Clary?

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Izzy and Max enter Max' bedroom.]

ISABELLE: You'll have four training sessions a day: demon strategy, weapons, combat, and endurance. Breakfast starts at 5:00. If you're late, all you'll have is a cold bran muffin.

MAX: I don't need breakfast. When do we start training? Now?

KOL: You were so eager to kill demons.

ISABELLE: First thing tomorrow. Right now, I have a mission.

MAX: Great, let's go.

ISABELLE: [holding Max back] Whoa, slow down, okay? You don't get to go in the field until you complete your training.

MAX: But I have more medals than anyone in my class. I did so well in the simulator, they had to write new code for it.

THEO: You hacked it down, didn't you little brother?

Max nodded.

ISABELLE: That's because you hacked it. [Max chuckles. Izzy kneels down.] This is real, Max. Dangerous.

MAX: I can handle it. Please, I'll follow orders.

[Izzy rises and puts a hand on Max' shoulder.]

ISABELLE: Patience, young Shadowhunter. You'll be out there soon enough.

ROSE: I know the feeling Izzy.

[Max sighs. Izzy exits.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus is sitting in the living room. There's a knock on the front door, and with a snap of his magic, Magnus opens the door. Dot enters.]

DOT: How'd you know it was me?

MAGNUS: My powers are wild and beyond understanding. And I saw you crossing the street outside. [He pours another drink.] So, have you come to talk me into spitting into a cup for the Clave?

They chuckled a bit.

ACHATIUS: Your sense of humour doesn't goes even when you are angry.

DOT: You kidding me? Look, I'm all for stopping those murders, but when the DNA brigade came knocking, I Portaled out. I had that shop in Salem. This isn't my first witch hunt.

MAGNUS: [taking a sip] I'll drink to that. Oops. I suppose I already am.

DOT: So, I came by to bring you these.

[Magnus stands up. Dot gives him a little bottle.]

MAGNUS: Dragonfly wings?

DOT: I thought it might help. From when you lost your powers after being blasted by that Greater Demon.

MAGNUS: [nods] A disturbing ordeal.

[Magnus walks to the window and throws the bottle on the couch. Dot looks at the drink in his hand.]

DOT: Whiskey rocks. Your heartache drink.

MAGNUS: Not always.

DOT: It's me, Mag. I've known you for centuries. Pour me one. [Magnus puts down his own drink.] Talk. Or not. Either way, you should never drink alone.

CLARY: Dot never drank with me. She even gave me those I shouldn't drink lectures.

[THE INSTITUTE]

[Clary is laying in her bed unconscious. A medic is tending to her wounds. Jace, Rose and Simon are standing by the bed.]

JACE: So you didn't see the attacker at all? 

ROSE: No description? Nothing?

SIMON: It was hard to see and I had to choose. Either go after them or help Clary. Would you two have done it differently?

DAMON: He has a point.

JACE: You better get going.

SIMON: No. I'm not going anywhere until she wakes up.

JACE: Under the circumstances, there's a lockout order on all Downworlders. 

ROSE: Jace is right Simon, circumstances aren't good right now and if you stay you will make it worse.

SIMON: What else is new? Jace, Rose, I saved her, I brought her here, and when she wakes up, I'm gonna be there for her. 

JACE: I wish that were possible, but the Institute is on high alert. There are new rules–

SIMON: I don't care about your rules. I care about Clary. I'm not leaving.

[Imogen Herondale enters.]

IMOGEN: It's not a request, Mr. Lewis.

SIMON: Look, I'm not a criminal, I'm her boyfriend–

JACE: Simon. Please don't make this worse. 

ROSE: I know you care about her. We'll let you know as soon as we hear anything about her.

IMOGEN: You will leave this Institute or I'll have you escorted to a cell. I will not ask again.

SIMON: You don't have to. I'm not leaving.

DAVINA: They are gonna lock you up.

[The guards behind Imogen grab Simon to take him away.]

SIMON: Jace, Rose, tell Clary I'm here. Tell Clary I'm here!

[Simon is taken away.]

JACE: [to Imogen] Simon has been helpful in the past. He's an ally. Don't you think throwing him in jail is a little excessive?

IMOGEN: A Downworlder cannot challenge our authority. Not in times like these.

[All their cell phones chime. When they look, it's the big Shadowhunter angelic rune on the screen.]

ROSE: Another body.

[OPS CENTER]

[A gurney is rolled in. One of the Shadowhunters opens the body bag.]

THEO: It's Hillwater. Looks like a vampire attack.

JACE: We need a new plan.

[Imogen takes an open tin with 5 syringes from one of her guards.]

IMOGEN: These are from the R&D team in Alicante. We've always been able to track Shadowhunters through their runes. Now we can track Downworlders through GPS chips.

JEREMY: She wanted to chip them, without their consent.

ALEC: What are you saying? That we round up the Downworlders and involuntarily chip them?

IMOGEN: Mr. Lightwood, perhaps you personal relationships are clouding your objectivity.

ALEC: My personal relationships have nothing to do with it. [Imogen raises her eyebrows.] You know what? Maybe they have everything to do with it. Because it was a warlock who told me to always follow my gut, and that is just plain wrong.

Magnus smiled at this.

IMOGEN: No. Downworlders preying on Shadowhunters, that is what's wrong.

ALEC: You sound like Valentine.

IMOGEN: Valentine wants those people dead. I am trying to help them.

ALEC: "Those people"? [to Jace] Jace, you can't do this. 

THEO: He is right. 

JACE: Alec, Theo, look at this. Too many Shadowhunters are dying.

CAROLINE: Wait, were you just taking her side?

JACE: I know I was wrong.

[Imogen gives Jace a look and walks away. Alec, Rose and Theo are disappointed in Jace.]

[HUNTER'S MOON]

[Maia is cleaning tables. She walks back to the bar when Jace and another Shadowhunter enter.]

MAIA: I'm sorry, gentlemen. This isn't a leather bar.

JACE: Hmm. I'm here on Clave business.

MAIA: Clave business? Do I curtsy?

JACE: If you really want to. Are there any mundanes in here?

MAIA: No.

JACE: There's a new mandate for everyone's safety. GPS implants.

[The other Shadowhunter takes a syringe out of his pocket.]

MAIA: You've gotta be kidding me.

JACE: The Clave has always been able to track Shadowhunters through their runes. This is no different.

DAVINA: This is different.

MAIA: This is very different. [calling to all] Hey, everybody! The Clave wants to implant tracking chips in all of us. Like pets. Who's in?

JACE: It isn't like that. This is just temporary until we catch the killer. [Maia's eyes light up.] Again?

MAIA: I thought you would've learned the first time, but apparently Shadowhunters aren't the brightest bulbs.

JACE: Alright, hey, we can get this done without any violence.

MAIA: Where's the fun in that?

KOL: I like her.

Davina poked into Kol's chest. And the rest of them laughed.

[Maia punches both Jace and the other Shadowhunter in the stomach.]

JACE: [before Maia punches him in the face] No.

THEO: Oh, no!

He bursted into laughter. And Jace frowned.

[With Maia's punch, the screen goes black.]

[Maia gets in another punch. Maia is still attacking Jace when Luke runs in.]

LUKE: Maia! Maia, stop!

GUY: The Clave's gone too far, Lucian. Let them fight.

[Luke is being held back by the other customers. When Maia is facing Jace, the other Shadowhunter has taken the syringe.]

JACE: Wait!

[But the Shadowhunter gets Maia in her shoulder, chipping her.]

MAIA: Son of a bitch!

[Maia gets another punch in.]

LUKE: I said stop!

[Luke leaps forward, Maia feels her shoulder, Jace stands up.]

LUKE: You want a Downworld revolt? This is how it starts.

JACE: They came after Clary.

LUKE: What?

JACE: Look, she's okay, Luke, but–

LUKE: It's not about Clary! And it's not about those dead Shadowhunters. It's about starting a war. Do you want that blood on your hands? Get out of here.

[THE INSTITUTE, CLARY'S BEDROOM]

[Clary opens her eyes. Alec, Rose and Theo are sitting by her bedside.]

ROSE: How are you feeling? Are you okay? 

CLARY: Yes, I am. What happened?

ALEC: You were drugged. 

THEO: Fortunately, Simon got to you before it was too late.

CLARY: They tried to kill me?

[Clary sits up weakly.]

CLARY: Where's Simon?

ALEC: [standing up] Hey, take it easy.

CLARY: Where is he? Is he okay?

THEO: He refused to leave the premises. 

ROSE: Inquisitor Herondale had him taken down to the detention level.

CLARY: [stunned] She locked up Simon?

[THE INSTITUTE, CELLS]

[Still weak, Clary has gone down to the cells. A guard, Duncan is standing in front of the cell block door.]

ENZO: You went there.

DUNCAN: You can't be down here.

CLARY: I have clearance.

DUNCAN: Not anymore. Inquisitor's orders.

CLARY: Duncan, please. I need to see Simon.

[When she wants to go past Duncan, Clary is held back by him.]

CLARY: Simon!

[Cut to Simon in a cell.]

SIMON: Clary?

CLARY: Simon!

SIMON: Clary!

[Cut back to Clary.]

CLARY: Simon, if you can hear me, I will get you out of here! Simon!

[Clary is escorted out by Duncan and another guard.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus and Dot are sitting on the couch, with both a glass of alcohol in their hand.]

DOT: Alec Lightwood? No wonder you're a mess. Mortals are always trouble, you know that.

MAGNUS: Says the warlock who had a fling with Mark Twain.

CLARY: Dot hid so much.

DOT: What can I say? I'm a sucker for a man with a mustache.

MAGNUS: Me, too, but only if it belongs to Freddie Mercury.

DOT: [gasps] So that's why you dragged me to all those Queen concerts. "We will Rock You", indeed.

Theo raised an eyebrow at this.

MAGNUS: Oh, don't be crude. I fall in love with the soul before the sex.

DOT: Was it my soul you fell in love with?

SIMON: Wait, Dot is one of your seventeen thousand exes?

Magnus sighs and Alec scrunches.

MAGNUS: What we had was wonderful. That was... Wow. That was almost a century ago. But that's not what I mean.

DOT: So, find a warlock soul to fall in love with. Then, when the Clave declares war on the Downworld, your boyfriend's not trying to hit you up for a cheek swab.

MAGNUS: Okay. So, if warlocks are so divine... why haven't you hooked up with any handsome magic-maker in the past six decades? Not that anyone's counting.

DOT: Touché. What can I say? It's hard to find a warlock who's super hot and lives in this realm. [winks] And who's also a good dancer.

CAROLINE: She was flirting with you.

MAGNUS: Why, Miss Dorothea, is that a challenge?

[Dot clicks her tongue and smiles.]

[THE INSTITUTE, OPS CENTER]

[Jace is on the phone.]

JACE: Okay, I'm on my way.

[Jace hangs up. He's walking to the elevator. When the doors open, a furious Clary walks out, Rose is also with her.]

CLARY: So, Imogen says to lock up Simon and you just let it happen?

JACE: Clary, I tried to help Simon. You know I wouldn't have done any of this if he hadn't broken Clave rules.

CLARY: Suddenly you're into rules? You know, Jace Herondale might have some kind of family name to live up to, but the Jace I know would break any rule for the people he cares about.

JACE: People are dying. People I've known my entire life, people I trained with. There are no easy choices right now. A team just found Lockheart dead.

[Imogen enters, with two guards... and Maia.]

MATT: Why is she there?

IMOGEN: And we've just caught his killer.

MAIA: Maia, what's going on?

IMOGEN: Lockheart was mauled by a wolf. Ms. Roberts was found a block away, minutes after the kill. 

CAROLINE: She can't be real. A lot of people are a block away.

MAIA: I was walking home from work. What, is that a crime now, too?

IMOGEN: Did anyone see you walking home from work?

CLARY: It's New York City. A lot of people were a block away.

IMOGEN: An hour ago, this wolf viciously attacked Jace for carrying out a Clave mandate.

MAIA: To put a tracking chip in my neck!

CLARY: [looking at Jace] Wait, what? 

ROSE: So, you did it, great. 

MAIA: You know, I've been stopped by cops for no other reason than being black, but I thought the Shadowhunters were more evolved than that. Jace, I didn't do this.

[Imogen meets Jace's eyes.]

IMOGEN: Six Shadowhunters are dead. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment.

CLARY: Isn't fear an emotion? Because that's all this is. 

ROSE: Tracking people because of the kind of blood they have. Locking them up without recourse? Is that what the Clave stands for?

IMOGEN: Your idealism is charming, but when they wheel in the next dead Shadowhunter with their runes carved out, what will you tell their family? What will your ideals have done for any of them? [to the guards with a nod to Maia] Put her downstairs with the vampire.

[Imogen phone rings.]

IMOGEN: Excuse me.

[Imogen walks away.]

CLARY: Jace, tell her to stop. You know this is wrong. 

ROSE: I can't believe this. 

[Imogen comes back.]

IMOGEN: [to Jace] I'm needed in Idris. The Institute is in your hands now, Jace. Make me proud.

[Imogen leaves.]

JACE: Clary, there's no perfect way to do this. I'm doing my best.

CLARY: You know, not too long ago, everyone thought you had demon blood. If you weren't a Herondale, she'd be locking you up, too.

ACHATIUS: She was right.

[Clary leaves. Rose looks at him and leaves. Jace sighs.]

[STREETS]

[Raphael and Izzy meet in front of the DuMort.]

RAPHAEL: You shouldn't be out alone.

ISABELLE: Raphael, thank you for coming. Just so you know, Simon and I would have never done anything to hurt your sister.

RAPHAEL: I didn't come here for apologies. I came to reason with you. For my clan. They're not gonna sit around and let the Clave put trackers in them.

ISABELLE: I don't want that either. I want to stop all of this. So if there's anything you know about these murders–

RAPHAEL: I can tell you it's not a vampire. We would never remove runes from a Shadowhunter.

ISABELLE: Why is that?

RAPHAEL: [takes a deep breath] From a time before the Accords... the Downworlders were hunted by Shadowhunters for sport. They took our fangs, werewolf claws, and warlock marks as trophies. The vampires swore we would never let that happen again. To anyone.

BONNIE: That's horrible.

ISABELLE: That's horrible. But if there are no vampires involved, what about Keytower? His blood was drained.

[A dark figure is watching Raphael and Izzy from a distance.]

KEELIN: Someone was watching.

RAPHAEL: My guess? A diversion. Throw the investigation off track.

ISABELLE: What else do you know?

[Raphael turns around, walks a few steps.]

ISABELLE: Raphael, I respect your loyalty to the Downworld, but please, we're desperate. [Raphael turns back to her.] Innocent people are dying.

RAPHAEL: Back in the 80's, the Downworld came together to make some demands the Clave wouldn't agree to. And it got pretty ugly. I overheard a Seelie Knight tell Camille that the only way to gain the Shadowhunters' respect was to show them how dangerous we are. Beyond killing them, he suggested an extra step. Taking their runes.

ISABELLE: Which Seelie?

ACHATIUS: Meliorn.

[Shot of Meliorn walking the streets.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus and Dot are dancing to some jazzy music. They have a whole routine. They jump out onto the balcony, almost over the edge.]

DOT: Magnus!

[Magnus pushes against the wards and they jump back onto the balcony. The music ends.]

DOT: My life would be a boring tragedy without you.

MAGNUS: It would, indeed.

[Dot leans in for a kiss. Magnus flinches.]

MAGNUS: I'm sorry.

Alec smiled.

DOT: Don't be.

MAGNUS: I'm in love with Alec.

DOT: I know.

MAGNUS: I just–

DOT: Had a moment.

MAGNUS: And a bottle of whiskey. You're incredibly beautiful, Dot. And soulful. Generous. But I'm afraid I've always been a... one-soul-at-a-time kind of guy.

CAROLINE: You are a loyal boyfriend.

DOT: Alec's lucky to have you.

ALEC: Indeed, I am.

[Dot gives him one last glance and goes back inside.]

[THE INSTITUTE, CELL]

[Simon and Maia are together in a cell, sitting on one of the beds.]

MAIA: Why didn't you just leave? There was nothing you could do for her.

SIMON: I just... couldn't. And I kind of thought Jace would stand up for me. And the helpless look on Rose's face was making me feel horrible. 

MAIA: Yeah, Jace looks lost. Like a deer caught in headlights. I guess I get it.

Jace frowned.

SIMON: Get what? That he's under the inquisitor's spell?

MAIA: I know what it's like, to want so badly to have a real family. The things you'll do.

SIMON: Yeah. Even for the world's most terrifying grandma?

MAIA: Totally. I mean, you should have seen her face when Clary and Rose went off on her. That woman was legit scared. They were on fire.

SIMON: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you like Clary and Rose now. 

MAIA: They're growing on me. Don't screw it up, Simon.

SIMON: I don't plan to. If I ever get out of here.

MAIA: And you're a Daylighter now. Does that come with any other new tricks that could break us out of here?

SIMON: [holding up his finger, thinking] No. But I've realized that being a Daylighter is, like, totally overrated. Like, I should have got something cool. Heat vision or invisibility–

[The door opens. Jace, Rose and Clary enter.]

JACE: If only you were invisible.

SIMON: Clary!

[Simon and Maia get up. Simon and Clary immediately hug tightly.]

SIMON: You okay? I tried to stay put. They wouldn't let me–

CLARY: It's all right.

MAIA: [to Jace] You know damn well I didn't kill anyone.

JACE: Even so, I should probably let you cool out down here for that right hook you landed.

MAIA: You deserved it.

[Jace looks over at Clary and Simon.]

JACE: Yeah, I did. I was wrong. I'm sorry. 

MAIA: An apology from you. Wow. There's a first time for everything. 

ROSE: That's my brother. 

Jace smiled.

[DOCKS]

[Izzy and Raphael are tracking Meliorn with an old shirt of his.]

RAPHAEL: So, you wore his shirt home and kept it for how long?

REBEKAH: He is clearly jealous.

ISABELLE: You should be glad I kept it. It's the only thing helping us track him. I can't believe Meliorn would do something like this.

RAPHAEL: Fair Folk work in strange ways.

[Suddenly, Raphael stands still and holds Izzy back.]

RAPHAEL: We got company.

[Izzy draws her spear. They approach a smaller container and when they're about to attack who's behind there...]

RAPHAEL: Wait!

[Raphael holds back Izzy in time. It's Max.]

MARYSE: What the hell were you doing there Max?

ISABELLE: By the Angel! Max, what are you doing here?

MAX: I tracked you here. [holding up a hair elastic]Told you I was best in my class.

ISABELLE: You could've gotten yourself killed.

RAPHAEL: I smell Shadowhunter blood.

ISABELLE: [to Max] Wanna prove you're the best in your class? Stay here and stay hidden. Do you understand?

[Max nods and pulls back into the shadows. Izzy and Raphael zigzag through the containers and find a dark figure kneeled by an unconscious and attacked Shadowhunter. It's Meliorn. He puts his hands up in the air.]

MELIORN: This is not my doing. I was tracking the killer, but I'm afraid I arrived too late.

RAPHAEL: Don't believe anything he says.

ISABELLE: Seelies can't lie.

RAPHAEL: Yeah, but they'll spin the truth until you're dizzy.

[Izzy transforms her spear into her snake bracelet again.]

MELIORN: I can help you find the killer. It's a Seelie, I can tell you that. And I can track them.

ISABELLE: Let's go.

RAPHAEL: Isabelle, it could be a trap.

ISABELLE: I believe him, okay? [to Raphael] I need you to take Max back to the Institute, where he'll be safe.

[Izzy goes back to Max's hiding spot.]

ISABELLE: Max!

[Max is gone.]

FREYA: The killer kidnapped him.

ISABELLE: Oh, no. [Raphael and Meliorn come running.] Max! Max!

[DARK ROOM]

[Max is laying on a table. He opens his eyes and looks at all the equipment around him. In his blurry vision, he sees a figure taking their hood off. It's a woman. The vision sharpens.]

SEELIE: Awake already?

MAX: Come near me and I'll kill you.

SEELIE: You don't deserve this. But Shadowhunters need to feel what it's like to lose the ones that they love. My brother Samuel was all I had in this world and now he's gone. [slamming a knife on the table] Thanks to your brother Jace.

JACE: The soul sword, massacre.

ROSE: But it wasn't your fault.

[The Seelie, Kaelie, grabs Max's wrist and turns it, so his angelic rune becomes visible. Max gasps. Kaelie is about to carve the rune out when she is hit by Izzy's whip. From a higher platform, Izzy, Raphael and Meliorn look down into the room.]

ISABELLE: One more move and you're dead.

[Kaelie grabs a sword.]

MELIORN: It's over, Kaelie.

[Izzy unties the bands Max is tied to the table with.]

KAELIE: The Shadowhunters led us into a massacre. Why are you on their side?

MELIORN: It is not a matter of sides, Kaelie. It is a matter of what is right.

[Raphael hisses and steps forward. Kaelie attacks him, but Raphael dodges every move. Kaelie throws the sword at Meliorn, who can catch it before it hits his face. Izzy has untied Max and they embrace in a hug.]

MAX: I'm sorry.

[Raphael pins Kaelie to a pillar, but she throws a liquid over him that burns. Kaelie grabs a saw and charges for Meliorn. Just before she can attack him, she is stabbed in the back and killed by Izzy.]

[THE INSTITUTE, OFFICE]

[Jace, Izzy, Rose, Theo and Alec are all gathered in the office.]

ISABELLE: She had everything. Werewolf claws, vampire fangs, Seelie blades. She used it to make it look like a Downworld uprising.

JACE: The question is, why? 

ALEC: We're not sure. But it has to go beyond covering her tracks.

ISABELLE: I agree. 

THEO: Me too. 

ROSE: This is great work, Iz. I hear Max is back up on his feet, ready to take over the world. 

JACE: How are you doing? Are you okay?

ISABELLE: Getting better one day at a time.

JACE: Good. We'll keep investigating Kaelie. But in the meantime, my first official act as Head of the Institute is gonna be somewhat controversial so I'm gonna need your help. [to Alec] You're taking over.

ALEC: The Seelie investigation?

JACE: [smiling] No. I mean, you, Alec Lightwood, are now the Head of the New York Institute.

JEREMY: You made him the head.

[Izzy, Theo and Rose stand up, smiling. Alec also shows off a smile.]

ALEC: Can you do that?

JACE: Yeah. I mean, like you said, being a Herondale comes with certain perks. Naming a successor is one of them. You were right. Downworlders and Shadowhunters, we're all a mix of human, angel, and demon. If we let the Clave forget that... we deserve a revolt. I'll always be a soldier. But you're a leader, Alec.

ALEC: I have your first assignment.

ROSE: Bring it.

[HUNTER'S MOON, OUTSIDE]

[Simon and Clary are walking up to the bar.]

SIMON: This is gonna be humiliating. What if there's only, like, two or three people? And I'm not even ready to perform in front of two or three people yet. Unless they're really drunk.

CLARY: Simon, have I ever lied to you?

SIMON: Not that I know of.

CLARY: Then believe me when I tell you, you are going to crush it. Okay?

SIMON: Okay.

CLARY: Go get them, tiger.

[Simon and Clary go in. There is a big crowd of people.]

SIMON: [to Maia] Hey, what's going on? Are you giving away free alcohol?

MAIA: [holding up Simon's pamphlet] Turns out some vampires got wind of a singer they're really into.

CLARY: See? Your vampire friends know a good thing when they see it.

SIMON: Something tells me it's not all about the music.

CLARY: Go. I'm not letting you out of this.

[Simon goes to the stage, Clary is about to follow him, when Maia stops her.]

MAIA: [grabbing a beer for Clary] Oh, hey, um, this is on me.

CLARY: Thanks, Maia.

[Clary sits down on a bar stool. Simon has grabbed the microphone.]

SIMON: Hi, we're Rock Sol– [meeting Clary's eyes] I'm Simon Lewis. Thank you all for coming. Um... This is for the Downworld.

[Simon presses play on his computer and starts playing the keyboard himself.]

SIMON: [singing] Got a drop in my throat, Chill in my bones, When no one's around, See a light and a flare, Nobody's there, They don't hear a sound, Oh, the burden that I face, Inside every night, I'm a stranger when I wake, Wake up in your eyes. When the world I've come to know, Is a replica, [shot of Izzy looking back at Raphael] Oh, oh, oh, oh, [Clary enjoying] Forever alone.

KOL: You sing well, mate.

[Maia walks out to bring some boxes to the garbage. Jace is about to enter the Hunter's Moon.]

JACE: Hey, hey, let me help you.

MAIA: I appreciate you springing me, but there's still a bar full of Downworlders who might wanna gut you.

JACE: Yeah, I know. But I had to come.

[Jace pulls a syringe from his back pocket.]

JACE: It's to remove the chip. Direct orders from my new boss. No more tracking.

[Maia nods and turns her neck to Jace. Jace removes the chip. When Maia turns around, Jace raises his eyebrows.]

MAIA: I'm not saying thank you.

[Jace chuckles.]

[MAGNUS' APARTMENT]

[Magnus is looking over the city. Alec comes standing next to him.]

ALEC: Magnus, you were right. [they face each other] You never have to prove yourself to me. I love you.

MAGNUS: I love you, too.

[They kiss.]

[HUNTER'S MOON, BACK ALLEY]

[Jace calls Maia back before she can go back inside.]

JACE: Maia. Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you.

[Maia walks back to him.]

MAIA: If? You were willing to let the entire Downworld go to hell, because you're still in love with Clary.

JACE: I'm not in love with Clary.

MAIA: Please.

JACE: I'm not.

MAIA: Prove it.

[Jace leans in and kisses Maia. Maia pushes him away roughly. Then she smiles and kisses him against the wall. She pushes him back.]

THEO: Now, this is a surprise.

MAIA: Don't think this means anything.

[They continue kissing while Jace undresses.]

[INSTITUTE] 

[THEODORE'S ROOM] 

[ Theo is standing in his room with Sebastian. ] 

JONATHAN: You know you have a beautiful smile. 

[Theo was surprised.] 

JONATHAN: What? No one has ever told you that? 

THEO: A lot of people compliment me but genuine are only few. 

JONATHAN: Hmm. 

[They both heard a piano music.] 

JONATHAN: The tune, it's soothing. 

THEO: It's Rosaline, she is playing. 

[Rosaline is playing a tune on piano.]

REBEKAH: You play very well.

ROSE: Thanks, Rebekah.

JONATHAN: Indeed, she has a great talent. 

THEO: She has many talents but this one, she got from Valentine. 

JONATHAN: You mean Valentine taught her. 

THEO: Yes.
