03x15 - To the Night Children

Post by bunniefuu »

[SIMON] Previously on Shadowhunters...

Will you help me get my magic back?

You're, of course, aware that there are risks.

I can take care of myself.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

I thought we were enjoying our time together.

Now!

[CLARY] I had to draw a stupid rune and...

I couldn't.

[JONATHAN] I had a breakthrough with my sister.

And I have a feeling the real Clary will be joining me much sooner than expected.

[YELPS]

[HEIDI] Wolves... They hate us.

They always have. It's in their blood.

- [SIMON] Oh, no.
- It's a m*ssacre.

Is anybody out there? Hello?

- Simon.
- Who did this?

We're pretty sure Heidi's behind the att*ck.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Excuse me, I'd like to make a toast.

Everyone in this room should be proud.

Proud to call yourself a vampire.

If that makes people afraid, then let them be afraid.

We should never, ever be ashamed of who we are.

The days of being locked out are over.

If they don't let us in, then we break down the door.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[HEIDI] Anyone who stands in our way will face the consequences.

- Is that silver?
- Looks like it.

[HEIDI] The Downworld is ours for the taking.

The Shadowhunters have had their day in the sun, but our night has come.

It's our time to rule.

To the Night Children!

[ALL] To the Night Children!

Heidi.

Griffin.

We've got a problem.

The Praetor and his girlfriend have gone missing.

Okay, so?

So, there are witnesses now.

We broke the Accords.

The Shadowhunters will be gunning for us.

[SIGHS] Sweetheart, those Accords, they are in place to keep vampires in the shadows.

Things are going to be different now.

It's a new world.

[INHALES AND GROANS]

[ALEC] Sleep okay?

Like a rock.

Oh. Freshly squeezed orange juice.
And a full glass.

One of the perks of living at the Institute.

- But, come on, get out of bed.
- [GROANS]

Breakfast stops serving at : a.m.

Alexander, I appreciate the hospitality, but doesn't the Clave have rules against Downworlders living here?

Oh, they're not rules.
They're suggestions.

[SIGHS]

What? You're not living at the Institute.

You're just visiting for an extended period of time.

What would your fellow Shadowhunters think of a warlock wandering the halls?

They'd be fine with it.

Let's go.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[JACE] Clary.

What happened with Jonathan wasn't your fault.

He's still in New York, Jace.
I can feel it.

We have patrols canvassing the entire city.

If he's still here, we'll find him.

I promise.

- [CLARY] Izzy, hey.
- Ugh, I'm so hungry.

Where have you been all morning?

So, I found a data chip inside Greenlaw's stomach.

But it's highly encrypted.

It's going to take me some time to cr*ck.

[CLARY] Let us know.

[JACE] Hands off my bacon.

[ISABELLE] Guess you need to guard your food better.

You know it's not too late to go out for breakfast, right?

And miss pancake day? No way.

- [JACE] Hey.
- [ALEC] Hey.

Magnus, what are you doing here?

Uh, where do I start? I just moved out of my apartment, but unfortunately, my real estate agent d*ed a few hundred years ago, so finding a new place has been a bit of a struggle.

In the meantime, he's going to be living with us for a little while.

- That's great.
- [JACE] Absolutely.

- Welcome to the Institute, Magnus.
- Glad to be here.

It's not you. It's just, they don't see a lot of warlocks in here.

I can see why.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

- Hello?
- Clary.

- Luke. Whose number is this?
- It's the precinct's.

- They give you your badge back?
- Not exactly.

The vampires att*cked the Jade Wolf.

And they k*lled most of the pack.

- Oh, my God.
- And the police think that I did it.

- Luke...
- There's no time to explain.

I need you to tell the Shadowhunters what happened.

I gotta go. Don't worry about me, kiddo.
I love you.

But, Luke, what about Maia?

What is it? What happened?

[DWYER] I hope that was your lawyer.

I told you, I don't need a lawyer.
I'm pleading guilty.

Luke...

I know you're not a m*rder*r, but I can't help you if you won't talk to me.

Come on. Give me something, anything.

I don't know what to tell you.

Normally, I can't get you to shut up.

Remember when those damn squirrels got in the wall?

The captain was gonna call pest control to deal with them, and you reached in there and you pulled 'em out, one by one.

Those squirrels. They scratched the hell out of me.

[CHUCKLES]

But you saved 'em anyway.

Who are you trying to protect?

Nobody. I need to face the consequences of my actions.

It's not gonna be a slap on the wrist.

They're gonna put you away for a long time.

And we both know ex-cops don't fare too well in prison.

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

I'll take my chances.

When was the last time you slept?

I don't know.

Now that we know that Jordan's gonna be okay, you should get some rest.

I'll wake you back up when we get to Queens.

Every time I close my eyes, I'm back at the Jade Wolf.

The floor's soaked in blood and my friends butchered right in front of me.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

I can't even believe that it's real.

I keep hoping that I'll wake up from this nightmare, but it's not going to happen.

They're gone.

Maia.

They were the only family I ever had and that bloodsucking bitch took them from me.

- Heidi has to pay.
- She will. I promise.

I'll k*ll her myself if I have to.

It won't come to that.

I'm sure the Shadowhunters are already bringing her in.

Then get off here. Take the Queensboro into Manhattan.

Into the city? I thought we were going back home.

I don't have a home, not anymore.

I want to be there when they take Heidi into the Institute.

Let's do it.

[INDICATOR TICKING]

Hey.

Any survivors?

I searched the entire area around the Jade Wolf.

I couldn't find anyone.

What about Maia?

She's not among the dead.
There's no sign of her.

Vampires k*lling werewolves.
This is how wars start, Izzy.

What the hell is she doing here?

- She said she had information.
- I'm listening.

I know who massacred those werewolves.

Why are you so willing to turn on your own clan?

Well, they're not my clan, not really.

I heard them talking about an att*ck on the wolves, and I never thought they would actually do it.

And now, I couldn't live with myself if I didn't say something.

How do you live with yourself, knowing you m*rder*d that tech at the blood truck?

[STUTTERS] I couldn't. That's why I brought him back to life.

Because I felt terrible.

- I...
- What about Praetor Nick?

You don't understand what it's like to be drained of blood, m*rder*d, and then to wake up days later and you have no idea where you are.

[CHUCKLES]

You feel like an animal.

Alone, and so thirsty.

And I just couldn't control myself.

Oh, tell me you don't believe her.

She held Simon's family hostage.

I know. I still feel so terrible about that.

Lilith is the one who talked me into that.

I was actually getting better at the Praetor until your blond friend kidnapped me.

Jace...

[HEIDI] Can I please get another chance?

Look, I am not saying that I'm a Girl Scout.

I just thought that...

I hoped that you could forgive me.

Never gonna happen.

Why? You forgave Raphael.

What?

She didn't tell you? Raphael is the one that brought me back.

He kept me locked in the DuMort to run experiments on me.

He tortured me for days and then your sister just let him go.

Is this true?

[SIGHS] Alec, it's not that simple.

Sorry, I didn't come here to start a fight. I just want to help.

If we give you a clean slate, will you ID the vampires who att*cked the Jade Wolf?

It would be my honor.

[SIGHS]

Your transport's on its way here.

- You want something to drink?
- I'm good.

- I thought I told you not to come here.
- And let you end up in prison?

If I take the fall for this, this investigation ends with me.

If the police keep looking around, there's no telling how many lives could be in danger.

There is another way, Luke.

We're gonna have Simon encanto the lieutenant. Call it all off.

Simon can't encanto the entire NYPD.

You saw what happened with Ollie.

I told her about the Shadow World and people d*ed because of it.

I'm not going to let that happen again.

So, you're just gonna take the punishment for someone else's crime?

- Luke, you don't deserve that.
- Actually, I do. I left my pack.

- You had no choice.
- No, you always have choices, Clary.

If I'd been at the Jade Wolf when the vampires att*cked, maybe things would've ended differently.

Yeah, maybe we would have lost you, too.

Luke, you cannot blame yourself for what happened to the pack.

They trusted me and I abandoned them.

So now you're just gonna abandon me?

Clary, you know that I will always love you.

Then don't leave me.

[CRYING] Please, Luke.
Please, not now. Not...

I need my dad.

I'm sorry, kiddo.

[ALEC] All right.

This whole situation started because the last time somebody tried to raid the DuMort, a vampire was assaulted.

We cannot afford to let that happen again.

So I want this done by the book.

Great, now he wants things done by the book.

[ISABELLE] You've been equipped with special tech, holy water.

I've diluted it to be non-lethal, but it still packs a punch.

[ALEC] Any questions?

Good. May the Angel be with you.

Hold up.

- You're not going.
- What?

You should have told me about Raphael.

I know. Look, Alec, Raphael is not a bad person. He just made a horrible mistake.

He committed a gross violation of the Accords.

- He's trying to turn his life around.
- It doesn't change what he did.

You're right.

Get me a Portal to Detroit. I'll bring Raphael in myself.

I already have a team standing by to back you up.

No backup. I need to do this on my own.

Yo, Herondale.

Aline, hey.

It's good to see you. What are you doing in New York?

Hunting Jonathan.

Yeah, aren't we all?

According to the field reports, you almost captured him yesterday.

Yeah, almost.

If it wasn't for the no-k*ll order, you would have stopped him once and for all.

Well, it's not just an order, you know.

Until we get that rune off of Clary, we can't hurt one without hurting the other.

I understand, but we have no hope of defeating the bastard if we have to keep treating him with kid gloves.

We don't have a choice.

That's not true.

After what he did to my cousin...

Believe me, no one wants to rip Jonathan's throat out more than me.

But I'm not going to let anyone hurt Clary.

Then what do you suggest we do?

How many more Shadowhunters have to die trying to capture him?

Exactly how many lives is Clary worth?

To me, she's worth everything.

And I'm pretty sure Jia would agree. If it wasn't for Clary, Valentine would have m*rder*d your mother at the Gard.

You both owe her.

We know you led the att*ck on the Jade Wolf.

- Says who?
- You can't prove anything.

[MAIA] I can.

You're alive.

No thanks to him. I saw him cut Russell's throat myself.

Take them with the others.

Maia, I'm sorry for your loss.

Where's Heidi?

She wasn't one of the K*llers, was she?

No.

She's the one who brought them in.

We're talking about the same Heidi, right?

[MAIA] She would never do that.

Not unless she was getting something out of it.

I did agree to exonerate her for her past crimes.

You're kidding me, right?

Look, tensions between the vampires and the werewolves are higher than they've ever been.

I had to bring the K*llers into custody

in order to prevent an all-out w*r.

That doesn't mean you needed to let Heidi off the hook.

I could have ID'd them myself.

For all I knew, you were dead. You should've called me.

I was busy making sure that Jordan wasn't gonna die.

Luke told us that he was gonna handle it.

So, you're just letting Heidi go, then? That's your plan?

Look, I know how you guys must feel.

No, I don't think that you do. It's my pack that got slaughtered.

Heidi wasn't there. Those vampires were.
You said that yourself.

But they were carrying out Heidi's plans.

Jordan said that she planned the whole thing.

Can you prove that?

I think I know someone who can.

[UNDERHILL] That'll do it.

- [MAGNUS] I'm finished?
- Yeah.

Those are your keys.

I'd explain what doors they open, but to be honest, I'm not totally sure.

Most of the Shadowhunters just use the Unlock rune. So, good luck.

Hmm.

I'm sorry, have I done something to offend you?

No, of course not.

I guess I'm not sure having you move in here is such a great idea.

- Hmm. Because I'm a warlock?
- No. No, no, no.

Personally, I don't mind, but we've got protocols against this sort of thing.

Don't worry. I don't plan on living here longer than I have to.

I love Alec, but these screens are giving me migraines.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was a temporary thing.

And hey, for what it's worth, I'm glad that you and Alec managed to work everything out.

Excuse me?

Yeah, he, uh, told me you were having some differences.

- Oh, he did, did he?
- Yeah.

Excuse me.

Heidi?

We thought the Shadowhunters had taken you.

What?

Well, they came in here. They took Josh, Griffin, El, all of them.

But how did they know who to arrest?

I don't know.

Well, you know what this means.

That one of us here is a traitor.

Whoever did this will be sorry.

- Thank you, Raphael.
- You're welcome, Irma.

You can stop hiding now.

- Isabelle.
- Raphael.

By the authority of the Clave, I'm placing you under arrest.

I figured someone would come for me eventually, but I never thought it'd be you.

I should've never let you go in the first place.

It was God's will, as it is you coming here now.

If I must atone for my sins, so be it.

But it is great to see you again.

You, too.

I just wish it was under different circumstances.

No. It's okay.

I understand.

You have your duty.

Would you mind if I finish mine before we go?

[CLARY GRUNTING]

[ALINE] Need a sparring partner?

Sure.

- You're Consul Penhallow's daughter?
- Aline.

- You're Valentine's daughter?
- Unfortunately.

It's nice to finally meet you.

[BOTH GRUNT]

I'm guessing you didn't come all the way from Alicante just to train.

I heard your brother was in New York.

I was hoping you might be able to help me track him down.

If I knew where my brother was, I'd be out hunting him myself.

I already told the Clave everything I know.

You wrote in your report that you're looking for a sword called the Morning Star.

[CLARY GRUNTS AND GASPS]

Yeah, he calls it a family relic.

He somehow got it in that twisted head of his that I'm gonna help him find it.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

- Are you?
- Am I what?

Gonna help him?

No.

But you did let him buy you a bottle of water.

Is it really that hard to recognize your own brother?

I was stalling for backup.

Except when they got there, you let him go.

I didn't.

[BREATHING HEAVILY] That hurt?

Good. I want Jonathan to feel it.

[GRUNTING]

[JACE] Clary!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

[CLARY BREATHING HEAVILY]

What are you doing?

[PANTING]

- Aline, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Hey!

I am so sorry.

[JACE] You all right?

Do I look all right?

I just... I need some air.

- I'm coming with you.
- No.

I need to be alone.

Are you sure this is gonna work?

Nora Kendall's the one who gave Jordan the tip about Heidi being at the DuMort.

- But wasn't she encantoed?
- She was.

But if she could prove that Heidi coordinated all of this, I think that's the evidence Alec needs.

But what good is our witness when Heidi wiped her memory?

I'm gonna un-encanto her.

Can you really do that?

We'll find out.

She's at the hospital as we speak.

- Hi, Nora.
- No, Heidi, please, no.


[SHUSHING]

I need you to do something for me.

I need you to hold your breath.

[EKG BEEPING RAPIDLY]

Um, we're looking for Nora Kendall.

Are you family?

I'm the one who brought her in.

Oh, I see. Um, right this way.

Thank you.

She seemed to be on the mend and then she suddenly stopped breathing.

Poor thing.

I'm just glad her friend got to see her before it happened.

Her friend?

Yeah, a blonde girl, about your age.
She was very nice.

Heidi.

Hey, how was your first day?
You all set up?

[MAGNUS] Hmm.

Good to go. Your handsome friend took care of everything.

- Underhill?
- You think he's handsome?

I guess?

Hmm.

- Is that a problem?
- No.

Yes.

I don't know if I feel comfortable with you airing out our dirty laundry to the entire Institute.

What are you talking about?

[SIGHS]

You told him we were having relationship issues.

So I'm not allowed to talk to people about my problems?

Well, sure. But him? You barely even know him.

You're right. I'm... I'm sorry.

I just didn't think it was a big deal.

[SIGHS]

- I know. I just feel... Sometimes, I...
- Wait.

- You're jealous.
- I don't get jealous.

You're jealous. You're actually jealous.

I've never gotten jealous. This is not...

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Answer it.

- Hello?
- Alec, it's Simon. The Daylighter.

I know who you are.

Maia and I found a witness.

She can prove that Heidi set this whole thing up.

Is Magnus there with you?

- Where is she?
- That's sort of the thing.

She's in the hospital. Heidi got to her first.

The doctors say she's in some kind of irreversible coma, but I thought maybe Magnus could heal her.

I'll be right there.

Awesome. Magnus is on the way. Maia?

[JACE] Hey, you sure you're okay?

[ALINE] Nothing an iratze couldn't fix.

Although, I just got this shirt.

Look, I'll send it downstairs. I'll get it cleaned.

Or better yet, I'll buy you a new one.

If you're being nice to me so I won't report this, it's not gonna work.

Aline, come on, please. She's been through a lot.

Jace, what she did out there, it wasn't normal.

There's something seriously wrong with her.

She's under an enormous amount of stress.

The last thing she needs right now is for word to get out that she b*at up the Consul's daughter.

She didn't b*at me up. I was mostly winning until the end.

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

If she didn't save my mom's life, I'd have her arrested.

But I swear to the Angel, if she does anything like that again...

She won't. I promise.

All she needs is a little time to get her head straight.

I hope you're right.

Beautiful night, isn't it?

What the hell are you doing here?

Funny, I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Is this some kind of trap?

I don't know. You tell me.

I find it hard to believe that our meeting here is a pure coincidence.

I had no intention of stopping here tonight.

I have my own business to take care of, and yet, as I was walking by, I felt a sudden urge to stop.

And here you are.

You must've felt it, too.

It seems that our rune has brought us together.

I was worried about you earlier.

- You stay back.
- Whoever you were fighting, they must've gotten in a few good sh*ts, didn't they?

You come any closer, I will call the Institute.

Shouldn't you have done that already?

Or are you enjoying this conversation as much as I am?

God, you make me sick, you know that?

And yet, we're destined to be together.

Our meeting here tonight proves it.

[SCOFFS]

This isn't destiny, Jonathan.
It's a damn rune.

You love me, Clary. I can feel it.

It's why you let me go yesterday and why you won't turn me in now.

Come with me.

I know a part of you wants to.

No part of me wants anything to do with you.

For now.

I've got that appointment to keep.

[AIR WHOOSHING]

[NORA GASPS]

- [GASPS]
- Hey.

- You brought me here.
- [SIMON] It's okay. You're safe now.

[MAIA OVER VOICEMAIL] This is Maia. If you're hearing this, it's because my phone's battery sucks. Leave a message.

Maia, it's me. Magnus was able to heal Nora.

And we were right.

Heidi was behind everything and Nora can prove it.

Call me back.

[HEIDI] Oh, look who it is. The big, bad wolf.

The Shadowhunters forgave you, but I haven't.

I know you gave that order to k*ll my pack.

I don't know what you're talking about.
That was Griffin's idea.

- And that poor girl in the hospital?
- Nora?

Her dad's an orthodontist, so, she's not poor.

- Cut the crap.
- [CHUCKLES]

This is your last chance. Turn yourself in.

Or what?

You die. Right here, right now.

[LAUGHS]

You're serious? You actually think that you can k*ll me?

If I were you, I would've brought a w*apon.

- I'll manage.
- You really don't get it, do you?

You can't stop me. Nobody can.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY] You k*lled my pack, my family.

They did nothing to you!

[HISSES] You're right. I k*lled them, just like I'm gonna k*ll you.

[MAIA GROANING]

[HEIDI] What's happening?

[GASPING]

I injected myself with holy water.

It does nothing to werewolves, but vampires?

I bet it feels a lot like silver poisoning.

You bitch! [CHOKING]

[ENERGY PULSATING]

I'll see you in Hell.

[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]

[WHISPERING CONTINUES]

[GRUNTS]

[JACE] Clary! Hey!

[CLARY GASPS AND GROANS]

What were you thinking?

I... I don't know.

The rune...

We need to get you to the Silent Brothers. Right now.

[GUARD] Move it. Behind the others.

Careful.

Every day I worked in that soup kitchen, I dreamed about you walking through that front door.

I tried to think of what I'd say.

You don't have to say anything.

And yet, this is my last chance.

Never being able to see your face again...

That's the price I must pay.

- Raphael...
- Just...

I just want you to know...

that I will always care about you.

I'll always care about you, too.

Goodbye, Raphael.

[GUARD] The Portal's engaged. Let's move.

Goodbye.

[MAIA] Come on, I already told you.

I made it clear to Heidi that she should turn herself in, and then she att*cked me. I mean, you saw the rest.

You baited Heidi into attacking you, knowing full well the holy water would k*ll her.

She k*lled herself.

I didn't technically break any laws.

You're free to go.

That's it?

Said so yourself. You didn't break any laws.

It's over. Finally.

Hey, I know you sired her. I guess it must be tough.

Yeah, I hated her.

She wrecked my family. But we could've done it the right way.

- She would've gotten out eventually.
- You don't know that.

At least now we know she'll never hurt anyone ever again.

I get it. But k*lling her?
That's not right.

Simon, the world is a better place without her.

But that doesn't make this okay, Maia.

There's a system for a reason.

And if we keep breaking the rules, what makes us better than her?

- You were looking for me?
- Yeah.

Alexander, if this is about what we were talking about earlier, I was wrong.

You have every right to talk out your problems with your friends, no matter how good-looking they are.

This isn't about that. This is about you living at the Institute.

Oh.

Believe me, I want to live with you, but you were right.

Having an outsider live at the Institute, that is against protocol.

And how can I expect everyone else to follow the rules, if I don't follow them myself?

I understand. I'll move out first thing in the morning.

However, there is no protocol that says the head of the Institute has to actually live at the Institute.

So, when you find a place, I was hoping that we could... both move in... together.

Only if I get my own walk-in closet.

You mean that?

Of course. I love you.

[GRUNTS]

- Magnus?
- I'm fine. [COUGHING]

Magnus?

Magnus?

Magnus?

[SPEAKING INDONESIAN]

Medic! Somebody get help!

Magnus!

[MAGNUS GROANING]

[ALEC] Someone get help!
