Hey, can you watch where you're going?
You can see me?
Hi.
I'm Clary Fray.
This landscape is very... decorative.
Well, I wasn't really going
for decorative, exactly.
- What are those?
- Oh, those. Nothing, just, um...
some ideas for a graphic novel
I'm drawing with a friend.
Really, it's just there by mistake.
The Brooklyn Academy of Art
doesn't believe in mistakes.
Give me the professors' names
and I... I will end them.
You know, with... with a
scathing e-mail to the dean.
Don't bother.
- _
- What?
Sad face? Really?
Well played, well played.
Thank you. You know, it's weird.
They kind of liked my assigned work,
but they flipped out over the
drawings for our graphic novel.
- You're welcome.
- This day will go down in history
as the greatest 18th birthday I ever had.
Which is why we are celebrating tonight.
Yes, with Maureen, after our show.
Absolutely.
So... what's the deal with you and Maureen?
What deal? No deal. We sing together.
You seriously don't know she's been
crushing on you this whole time?
What? No. No.
Simon, how can someone as
smart and perceptive as you
not realize that the person sitting
right there is in love with you?
I guarantee you I'm not the only smart,
perceptive person to make that mistake.
That's a latte.
But I could have sworn I had a biscotti.
Maybe you ate it really
fast and didn't even notice.
Happens to me all the time.
When I'm happy... when I'm sad.
But I will replace your mythical biscotti
- with an actual one.
- Thank you.
You know what? Here's to you.
- L'chaim.
- L'chaim.
Same MO as the others?
Yeah, this one's drained of blood.
This makes seven.
Yeah, not good.
Hey, Captain Vargas.
Another body drained of blood?
We're thinking formalin pump.
Alaric and I are chasing
down a bunch of leads.
_
You know she can tell when
you decline a call, right?
Yep.
I need you to do something for me.
What? Catch these guys?
Besides that.
Marry Jocelyn. What are you waiting for?
Me and Jocelyn, we're...
we're different.
It's for Clary's birthday.
You're already acting
like a husband, go be one.
- Hey, Dot.
- Hey!
How's your future looking?
- Not as good as yours.
- Hmm.
The tarot cards tell me you
got into the advanced program.
And by "the tarot cards," you
mean, "Simon's Twitter account"?
- Okay, I follow him.
- Mmm.
Turns out, predicting the future
with tarot cards is very complicated.
But, I do see a birthday
present in your future.
- Dot!
- Okay, open it!
Wow!
Yeah, you might want
to keep that on the DL,
'cause your mom's my boss and
I don't want her to flip out.
Yeah, but that's how I know it's cool.
You know, you're way better at gift-giving
than magically predicting the future.
Nothing magical about it. I
just buy the things I wanna wear.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
I love you, Clary.
I love you, too.
You okay?
Yeah. Yeah, happy birthday.
Go up and see your mom.
_
_
- Mom!
- You did it! Yay!
You also follow Simon?
He only has 92 followers.
He needs the retweets. Congratulations.
Thank you. Hashtag, stalker mom.
Happy birthday.
It's called a stele.
What is it, like, a paperweight?
No, it's much more than that.
It's very ancient.
I want you to have it.
- It's a family heirloom.
- We Frays have heirlooms?
- A few.
- You know, it's weird.
I doodled something that
looked like this this morning.
I must have seen this
around the house somewhere.
Honey, I need to...
Simon. He's on his way over.
- But we need to talk.
- I can't right now. I gotta change.
- I'm going to see Champagne Enema tonight.
- What?
Yeah, I know. It's the new band name.
But Simon and Maureen
are taking me out after.
But it's... It's your
18th birthday, and, uh...
everything's gonna change for you now.
Mom, we've had the talk. I'm good.
We need to have a much different
and more important talk.
And we will.
But can it be over breakfast, all right?
I love you.
Thank you for the heirloom.
I love you.
_
Your daughter looks just like you.
It's the hair.
Come on.
Magnus!
Please, Magnus, only a warlock can do this.
Mom?
It's okay, honey. It's for the best.
You're not protecting
her, you're deceiving her.
For as long as possible.
She won't be a child forever, Jocelyn.
For now, I don't want
her part of our world.
Mom, I don't wanna do this.
Please, take her memories.
Hey, sorry I'm late. Captain's
got me on those demonic murders.
Look at the drawings.
It's already happening.
We both knew this time was
coming. We'll tell her together.
No, it was my choice. I'll do it alone.
All right. Well, do it soon.
And if she's unprepared,
your life is in danger.
And so is Clary's.
- Hey, Luke, what's up?
- Hey!
- Incredible drawings.
- Oh, thanks.
And I got you these.
- Spray paint.
- Oh, they're perfect.
If I catch any of that paint on
city walls, I will arrest you.
The paint is for Simon's van.
- I'm insisting they rename the band.
- Oh, yes, please.
- Yeah.
- Did your mom talk to you about that?
The heirloom. Yeah, it's beautiful.
- Clary, you're 18 now, and...
- What is with you guys?
I'm turning 18, it's not like I'm
headed off on some epic journey.
But you are!
See, we are going to Lombardi's
to celebrate your birthday after our gig.
You should come back here after.
The city's not that safe right now.
Ah, thanks, Mom, but we're set.
Yeah, we will take a rain check.
Wait. Do I smell chicken cacciatore?
Simon, your gig.
- Oh, you're singing?
- Yes, big gig.
And by big, I mean not so.
Losing circulation here.
Breakfast, you and me, tomorrow.
- Promise?
- Yep.
Mom... uh, Mom?
Mom, you have to let me go. I'm
biologically and legally an adult.
Yeah.
That's what I'm afraid of.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
Just let her be a kid for one last day.
Okay.
My mom is so overprotective lately.
So, do you remember in Aliens,
when the alien queen was
defending her eggs from Ripley?
In this scenario, is my mom
Ripley or the alien queen?
- Both.
- What?
A mother defending her young.
Defending me from what?
I spend all day in an art studio.
My life couldn't be more mundane.
Besides, I really don't know
much about when she was young.
Oh, just do what I do and get
all the dirt from your relatives.
Well, I would if I could,
but she doesn't have any.
And my... my dad died before I was born.
So, you have no one?
No uncles, no aunts, no
third cousins, twice removed?
No, just me and my mom.
It's why the Lewis clan has
added three chairs to every seder
- since pre-school.
- Mmm.
One for Clary, one for
Jocelyn, and one for Elijah.
- Of course. Obviously.
- Yes, obviously.
You guys don't think that's
a little bit suspicious?
You not knowing anything about your family?
Your mom could be hiding
some deep, dark secret.
Maureen, it's not possible.
- No, no, think about it.
- No, seriously.
My mother is incapable of
concealing anything from me.
Isabelle, let's go.
Hey, there, big bro.
Really?
What can I say? Demons dig blondes.
Of course they do, but that's white.
Platinum.
And they don't exactly like
Shakespeare, okay, Alec?
You're plenty distracting on your own.
So, be yourself. Is that
what you're trying to say?
Never mind. Looking good, let's go.
We're ready, Jace.
- Nice choice, Izzy. Demons dig blondes.
- Told you.
It's platinum.
All right, guys, for some reason
our demon friends are killing mundanes
and draining their blood.
Why do they want blood?
Isn't that vampire territory?
I don't know, Alec.
Lazy vampires, maybe?
There must be something
special about their blood.
What could be special about mundane blood?
You get me a sample and I'll tell
you exactly what they're looking for.
We'll have more answers
when we figure out exactly
who the demons are working for.
So, you don't think
they're acting on their own?
No.
They're not exactly creative
thinkers, they're shapeshifters.
This is what our target looks like.
For now.
Great. I'll get approval for the mission.
Come on, Alec.
By the time you've sent that message,
we'll have killed six demons.
Besides, it's more fun to break
the rules than to follow them.

Whoo!
Thanks for being our roadie.
Yeah, and thank you for
being our artist in residence.
Of course.
So, you went on stage
tonight as Champagne Enema.
What were we thinking, right?
But now...
we're Rock Solid Panda.
Yeah, we are.
Rock Solid Panda, coming
up. I'm feeling inspired.
- Paint.
- Paint.
What's that tag?
Weird, I didn't even mean to draw that.
Second time today.
You know they have confirmed cases
of people waking up in the
morning speaking French,
and they never even studied the language.
Do you think that's some kind of language?
Sanskrit maybe.
Hey, can you watch where you're going?
You can see me?
Yeah, that's kind of the point,
but you obviously didn't see me.
You have the Sight.
Wait, the what?
How can I not know who you are?
Has that line seriously
ever worked for you?
Even once?
Jace!
Can you guys believe that blonde dude?
You mean the imaginary
dude you were talking to?
No, the guy right there,
running into the club.
Clary, there's nobody there.
The guy covered in tats, like...
What guy are you talking about?
You guys seriously don't see him?
No.
Okay, could you stop making me feel insane?
Could you stop acting that way?
Clary, what was in your latte?
Where you going?
To get some answers.
Remember, your fake ID sucks.

And then these creepy tentacles
seemed to come out of
the body builder's face,
and... and then the guy just... vaporized.
I mean, I was drugged, right?
What did the markings look like
on the blonde boy you were talking about?
Who cares, Mom, okay? Are
you even listening to me?
I think I killed a guy.
Clary... did they look like this?
Mom, what the...
Everything you saw tonight has
a meaning and an explanation,
and I've dreaded having
this conversation with you
since the day you were born.
What is going on?
Am I going insane?
No, you're not.
But the protections are wearing off.
You're 18 now, and you
need to know the truth.
Protections? What does that even mean?
Mom, you... Mom, you're
scaring the hell out of me.
I know, and that's why I've put this off
until the last possible minute.
Jocelyn, look out the window.
Magnus called to warn us. They found you.
Dot, it's time.
Okay, listen to me. You cannot be near me.
- What's happening?
- I got a very powerful person angry.
What did you do?
I hid something from him and his followers.
Followers? Why can't
we just call the police?
The policeman you need to call is Luke.
Keep this with you and
think of me when you wear it.
Mom, this is not the time
for more birthday gifts.
What the hell is happening?
Only if you need it.
Trust your instincts. You're
more powerful than you know.
Take Jocelyn alive.
Find the Mortal Cup.
- Mom, I need to understand what's...
- Dot, open it.
Everything I've done,
every mistake I've made was
because I love you more than words.
- What are you doing?
- Luke will explain everything.
- He'll hide you.
- Hide me?
From the Circle. He's the
only one you can trust.
Trust no one else.
- Mom, I don't...
- Where's Luke now?
- At the police station!
- Remember, I love you.
Mom! Mom!
- Clary!
- Mom!
Ow.
Clary?
Captain Vargas.
It's 2:00 in the morning. What
are you doing here so late?
Uh, um...
Luke said he'd, uh, drive
me home if he was still here.
Still doesn't trust those cabbies, huh?
Well, he's in the middle of an
interview. It could take a while.
Cool, I'll wait in the cafeteria.
Hey, uh... is there some sort of problem?
Guy trouble?
Yeah, sure.
Guy trouble, it's, uh...
something like that.
I won't let them find you.
This could all be over if you
just turn over the Mortal Cup.
That's not gonna happen.
After all these years,
you're still after it?
It's not for us.
It's for him.
Valentine's still alive.
He'll be pretty surprised
to see that you are, too.
I won't let Valentine create an army.
You once believed in him.
I believed in protecting humankind.
You'll never get the Cup.
No!
_
The minute we found out
Jocelyn Fairchild was alive,
- you were easy to track.
- Fairchild?
Turns out you and Jocelyn
were never that far apart.
The Circle has her now.
It's just a matter of time
until we catch the daughter.
You can have them both if
you give up the Mortal Cup.
I don't care about either of
them. They mean nothing to me.
Kill them both if you like.
My people want the Cup.
Why do you think I've been hanging
around here all these years?
Now, when I find the Cup...
I'm gonna keep it.
And you can tell Valentine
and the Circle that.
No one mentioned Valentine.
You didn't have to.
- Listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.
Get out of my office.
Mom... Mom...
_
You've returned.
I'm so sorry it had to
be this way, Jocelyn.
I told you to bring her back unharmed.
What happened?
A potion.
She must have been under
the protection of a warlock.
She was in league with the
Downworlder, hiding amongst the mundane.
Coward.
Jocelyn Fairchild was able to
hide from the Circle for 18 years.
Do you think a coward is
capable of something like that?
The only thing she's capable
of is smelling like a mundane.
I'm sorry?
She betrayed the Circle.
She doesn't deserve our respect.
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Mom...
Mom!
Dot.
They took Jocelyn.
Who took her?
Rogue Shadowhunters
searching for the Mortal Cup.
What the hell are you talking about?
Think, Clary.
Did your mother ever
talk to you about a cup?
A very important cup.
It's gold, almost like a chalice.
No! No, I don't know
anything about a cup, Dot.
One of the antiquities downstairs?
No, no, not those.
Think, Clary. This could save Jocelyn.
I can't think! Someone kidnapped my mother!
You know more than you
think you do, Clary Fray.
What, no "thank you" for saving your life?
Careful. That demon got a piece of you.
- Demons?
- Yeah.
What do you think that
miserable, disgusting thing was?
I, uh... I thought it was Dot.
No, Ravener demon, shapeshifter.
You're just saying words now.
Why... why is the room swirling?
Demon venom.
It's that bad?
I got you.
Jocelyn, you're back with me.
Ow.
- Wait, I don't know who you...
- I'm Isabelle.
I've never seen Jace so
curious about a mundane...
or distracted.
Like you saw earlier, distractions
are dangerous in our line of work.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Who's Jace?
You really don't know much, do you?
All I know is some psychos took my
mother, and now you people have taken me.
And by "taken" I assume
you mean "saved your life"?
A mundane shouldn't even be here.
Where is "here" exactly?
- She's not a mundane, Alec.
- How do you know that?
Because the seraph blade
lit up when she touched it.
Look, Isabelle, can you...
I'm Jace Wayland.
- I'm, uh...
- Clary Fray, we know who you are.
Am I the only one who finds this unusual?
You find everything unusual, Alec.
I have to report this to the Clave.
You know what? Dial it down a notch.
My brother doesn't have a dial.
I love you, Alec, but you
have a switch that's always on.
I love you, too. But this...
Hey, you know what? Give me a minute.
Here's a word you never
hear me say. Please?
What is with you?
Really, no, what is with him?
Walk with me, big brother.
I'll explain it to you.
We don't know this girl.
There's no such thing as new Shadowhunters.
- There is now.
- You don't find that strange?
What I find strange is
that you're so upset.
Maybe you're upset by the
way Jace is looking at her.
You know, you should be happy
that Jace is interested in someone
other than himself.
Maybe I'm pissed that
she's ruined the mission.
We never found out who's buying the blood.
That was our one job.
Your wound, it's healed.
How is that even possible?
So, what, I'm miraculously
healed, and all of you...
stunning people have magical powers?
No. No, don't confuse me with a warlock.
- A what?
- A warlock.
It's one of the Downworlders.
Okay, you're not making any sense.
Warlocks, vampires, Seelies...
Literally my brain is about to explode.
Jeez, all right. Well,
I'll keep it simple for you.
All the legends are true.
We're Shadowhunters.
We protect the human
world from the demon world.
So those people you saw
murdered at the Pandemonium,
they weren't people at all,
they were shapeshifting demons.
I'm not interested in being a part
of your supernatural fight club.
I just wanna find my mom.
The rest of it, whatever it is,
all I care about
is finding my mother.
Please.
Please help me find her.
I'm the best chance you've got.
I don't even know you.
Simon.
How come you haven't answered
your phone in two days?
Things are... all ripped apart.
Where are you?
Find My Friends says your phone is
in an abandoned church on Deighton.
I'm outside.
I see you.
I don't see you.
Give me five minutes.
I have to get dressed.
Dressed? What are you doing
undressed in an abandoned church?
Clary, is there... Is there a
meth problem we have to talk about?
Simon, just give me five minutes, okay?
Um, what, uh... What
happened to my clothes?
Demon venom.
Remember?
Isabelle left you these.
You're kidding, right?
She's very comfortable with her body.
Okay.
How did that get there?
I drew that.
Okay, listen.
I still don't get everything
that's going on here,
but you do not tattoo my neck.
That's creepy.
Duly noted. I guess next
time I'll just let you die.
And it's not a tattoo.
It's a rune.
They have enormous power.
Good for Shadowhunters.
Lethal for humans.
But you, you already know
all about runes, don't you?
Maybe you don't.
Which is what makes you so interesting...
Clary Fray.
I saw something... behind your friend.
You're not gonna kill Simon, are you?
Protect the humans, kill the
demons. You'll get it eventually.
So, why can't Simon see you?
This is a glamour, a rune that
makes me invisible to mundanes.
It's a shame, really, 'cause...
well, denying them all this.
What do you have on, Clary?
Let me take you home.
I don't think I have one anymore.
Why? What do you mean?
Well...
Clary Fairchild!
Clary, what's going on?
What are you looking at?
If you give us the girl, I'll let you live.
You're in no position to be making rules.
Clary...
- We'll never stop hunting her.
- This is for my father.
- Jace!
- Excuse me?
- Is he dead?
- Is who dead?
What the...
Could you deglamourize, or whatever,
so my best friend doesn't
think I'm losing my mind?
Um... what is happening?
Yeah, we don't have the luxury
right now, kid. Everyone back inside.
Clary, who is this? Your meth dealer?
I've seen him before.
At the police station.
He's a member of the Circle.
Clary, he's here for you.
He's with the people who took my mother.
Right, your little best friend
here led him right to you.
He's here to capture or kill you.
There's a dead body there,
we have to call Luke.
We can't trust Luke, Simon. We can't.
Clary, I need to keep you safe.
I promise you, I promise I am
gonna help you find your mother.
But you're one of us.
You're a Shadowhunter.
What are you talking about?
Clary... you don't know
this guy, all right?
Come with me. I can get us help.
Clary, please.
Clary, come on.
I don't see the Mortal Cup!
We searched.
It's not in the loft.
Just because you couldn't find
it doesn't mean it isn't there.
There's a daughter.
It looks just like Jocelyn.
There's no sign of the father.
Could be a mundane.
Jocelyn has a daughter?
Well, in that case, I'd like
to speak to Jocelyn's daughter.

Hey, can you watch where you're going?
You can see me?
Hi.
I'm Clary Fray.
This landscape is very... decorative.
Well, I wasn't really going
for decorative, exactly.
- What are those?
- Oh, those. Nothing, just, um...
some ideas for a graphic novel
I'm drawing with a friend.
Really, it's just there by mistake.
The Brooklyn Academy of Art
doesn't believe in mistakes.
Give me the professors' names
and I... I will end them.
You know, with... with a
scathing e-mail to the dean.
Don't bother.
- _
- What?
Sad face? Really?
Well played, well played.
Thank you. You know, it's weird.
They kind of liked my assigned work,
but they flipped out over the
drawings for our graphic novel.
- You're welcome.
- This day will go down in history
as the greatest 18th birthday I ever had.
Which is why we are celebrating tonight.
Yes, with Maureen, after our show.
Absolutely.
So... what's the deal with you and Maureen?
What deal? No deal. We sing together.
You seriously don't know she's been
crushing on you this whole time?
What? No. No.
Simon, how can someone as
smart and perceptive as you
not realize that the person sitting
right there is in love with you?
I guarantee you I'm not the only smart,
perceptive person to make that mistake.
That's a latte.
But I could have sworn I had a biscotti.
Maybe you ate it really
fast and didn't even notice.
Happens to me all the time.
When I'm happy... when I'm sad.
But I will replace your mythical biscotti
- with an actual one.
- Thank you.
You know what? Here's to you.
- L'chaim.
- L'chaim.
Same MO as the others?
Yeah, this one's drained of blood.
This makes seven.
Yeah, not good.
Hey, Captain Vargas.
Another body drained of blood?
We're thinking formalin pump.
Alaric and I are chasing
down a bunch of leads.
_
You know she can tell when
you decline a call, right?
Yep.
I need you to do something for me.
What? Catch these guys?
Besides that.
Marry Jocelyn. What are you waiting for?
Me and Jocelyn, we're...
we're different.
It's for Clary's birthday.
You're already acting
like a husband, go be one.
- Hey, Dot.
- Hey!
How's your future looking?
- Not as good as yours.
- Hmm.
The tarot cards tell me you
got into the advanced program.
And by "the tarot cards," you
mean, "Simon's Twitter account"?
- Okay, I follow him.
- Mmm.
Turns out, predicting the future
with tarot cards is very complicated.
But, I do see a birthday
present in your future.
- Dot!
- Okay, open it!
Wow!
Yeah, you might want
to keep that on the DL,
'cause your mom's my boss and
I don't want her to flip out.
Yeah, but that's how I know it's cool.
You know, you're way better at gift-giving
than magically predicting the future.
Nothing magical about it. I
just buy the things I wanna wear.
- Happy birthday.
- Thank you.
I love you, Clary.
I love you, too.
You okay?
Yeah. Yeah, happy birthday.
Go up and see your mom.
_
_
- Mom!
- You did it! Yay!
You also follow Simon?
He only has 92 followers.
He needs the retweets. Congratulations.
Thank you. Hashtag, stalker mom.
Happy birthday.
It's called a stele.
What is it, like, a paperweight?
No, it's much more than that.
It's very ancient.
I want you to have it.
- It's a family heirloom.
- We Frays have heirlooms?
- A few.
- You know, it's weird.
I doodled something that
looked like this this morning.
I must have seen this
around the house somewhere.
Honey, I need to...
Simon. He's on his way over.
- But we need to talk.
- I can't right now. I gotta change.
- I'm going to see Champagne Enema tonight.
- What?
Yeah, I know. It's the new band name.
But Simon and Maureen
are taking me out after.
But it's... It's your
18th birthday, and, uh...
everything's gonna change for you now.
Mom, we've had the talk. I'm good.
We need to have a much different
and more important talk.
And we will.
But can it be over breakfast, all right?
I love you.
Thank you for the heirloom.
I love you.
_
Your daughter looks just like you.
It's the hair.
Come on.
Magnus!
Please, Magnus, only a warlock can do this.
Mom?
It's okay, honey. It's for the best.
You're not protecting
her, you're deceiving her.
For as long as possible.
She won't be a child forever, Jocelyn.
For now, I don't want
her part of our world.
Mom, I don't wanna do this.
Please, take her memories.
Hey, sorry I'm late. Captain's
got me on those demonic murders.
Look at the drawings.
It's already happening.
We both knew this time was
coming. We'll tell her together.
No, it was my choice. I'll do it alone.
All right. Well, do it soon.
And if she's unprepared,
your life is in danger.
And so is Clary's.
- Hey, Luke, what's up?
- Hey!
- Incredible drawings.
- Oh, thanks.
And I got you these.
- Spray paint.
- Oh, they're perfect.
If I catch any of that paint on
city walls, I will arrest you.
The paint is for Simon's van.
- I'm insisting they rename the band.
- Oh, yes, please.
- Yeah.
- Did your mom talk to you about that?
The heirloom. Yeah, it's beautiful.
- Clary, you're 18 now, and...
- What is with you guys?
I'm turning 18, it's not like I'm
headed off on some epic journey.
But you are!
See, we are going to Lombardi's
to celebrate your birthday after our gig.
You should come back here after.
The city's not that safe right now.
Ah, thanks, Mom, but we're set.
Yeah, we will take a rain check.
Wait. Do I smell chicken cacciatore?
Simon, your gig.
- Oh, you're singing?
- Yes, big gig.
And by big, I mean not so.
Losing circulation here.
Breakfast, you and me, tomorrow.
- Promise?
- Yep.
Mom... uh, Mom?
Mom, you have to let me go. I'm
biologically and legally an adult.
Yeah.
That's what I'm afraid of.
- Shall we?
- Yes.
Just let her be a kid for one last day.
Okay.
My mom is so overprotective lately.
So, do you remember in Aliens,
when the alien queen was
defending her eggs from Ripley?
In this scenario, is my mom
Ripley or the alien queen?
- Both.
- What?
A mother defending her young.
Defending me from what?
I spend all day in an art studio.
My life couldn't be more mundane.
Besides, I really don't know
much about when she was young.
Oh, just do what I do and get
all the dirt from your relatives.
Well, I would if I could,
but she doesn't have any.
And my... my dad died before I was born.
So, you have no one?
No uncles, no aunts, no
third cousins, twice removed?
No, just me and my mom.
It's why the Lewis clan has
added three chairs to every seder
- since pre-school.
- Mmm.
One for Clary, one for
Jocelyn, and one for Elijah.
- Of course. Obviously.
- Yes, obviously.
You guys don't think that's
a little bit suspicious?
You not knowing anything about your family?
Your mom could be hiding
some deep, dark secret.
Maureen, it's not possible.
- No, no, think about it.
- No, seriously.
My mother is incapable of
concealing anything from me.
Isabelle, let's go.
Hey, there, big bro.
Really?
What can I say? Demons dig blondes.
Of course they do, but that's white.
Platinum.
And they don't exactly like
Shakespeare, okay, Alec?
You're plenty distracting on your own.
So, be yourself. Is that
what you're trying to say?
Never mind. Looking good, let's go.
We're ready, Jace.
- Nice choice, Izzy. Demons dig blondes.
- Told you.
It's platinum.
All right, guys, for some reason
our demon friends are killing mundanes
and draining their blood.
Why do they want blood?
Isn't that vampire territory?
I don't know, Alec.
Lazy vampires, maybe?
There must be something
special about their blood.
What could be special about mundane blood?
You get me a sample and I'll tell
you exactly what they're looking for.
We'll have more answers
when we figure out exactly
who the demons are working for.
So, you don't think
they're acting on their own?
No.
They're not exactly creative
thinkers, they're shapeshifters.
This is what our target looks like.
For now.
Great. I'll get approval for the mission.
Come on, Alec.
By the time you've sent that message,
we'll have killed six demons.
Besides, it's more fun to break
the rules than to follow them.

So, you went on stage
tonight as Champagne Enema.
What were we thinking, right?
But now...
we're Rock Solid Panda.
Yeah, we are.
Rock Solid Panda, coming
up. I'm feeling inspired.
- Paint.
- Paint.
What's that tag?
Weird, I didn't even mean to draw that.
Second time today.
You know they have confirmed cases
of people waking up in the
morning speaking French,
and they never even studied the language.
Do you think that's some kind of language?
Sanskrit maybe.
Hey, can you watch where you're going?
You can see me?
Yeah, that's kind of the point,
but you obviously didn't see me.
You have the Sight.
Wait, the what?
How can I not know who you are?
Has that line seriously
ever worked for you?
Even once?
Jace!
Can you guys believe that blonde dude?
You mean the imaginary
dude you were talking to?
No, the guy right there,
running into the club.
Clary, there's nobody there.
The guy covered in tats, like...
What guy are you talking about?
You guys seriously don't see him?
No.
Okay, could you stop making me feel insane?
Could you stop acting that way?
Clary, what was in your latte?
Where you going?
To get some answers.
Remember, your fake ID sucks.

And then these creepy tentacles
seemed to come out of
the body builder's face,
and... and then the guy just... vaporized.
I mean, I was drugged, right?
What did the markings look like
on the blonde boy you were talking about?
Who cares, Mom, okay? Are
you even listening to me?
I think I killed a guy.
Clary... did they look like this?
Mom, what the...
Everything you saw tonight has
a meaning and an explanation,
and I've dreaded having
this conversation with you
since the day you were born.
What is going on?
Am I going insane?
No, you're not.
But the protections are wearing off.
You're 18 now, and you
need to know the truth.
Protections? What does that even mean?
Mom, you... Mom, you're
scaring the hell out of me.
I know, and that's why I've put this off
until the last possible minute.
Jocelyn, look out the window.
Magnus called to warn us. They found you.
Dot, it's time.
Okay, listen to me. You cannot be near me.
- What's happening?
- I got a very powerful person angry.
What did you do?
I hid something from him and his followers.
Followers? Why can't
we just call the police?
The policeman you need to call is Luke.
Keep this with you and
think of me when you wear it.
Mom, this is not the time
for more birthday gifts.
What the hell is happening?
Only if you need it.
Trust your instincts. You're
more powerful than you know.
Take Jocelyn alive.
Find the Mortal Cup.
- Mom, I need to understand what's...
- Dot, open it.
Everything I've done,
every mistake I've made was
because I love you more than words.
- What are you doing?
- Luke will explain everything.
- He'll hide you.
- Hide me?
From the Circle. He's the
only one you can trust.
Trust no one else.
- Mom, I don't...
- Where's Luke now?
- At the police station!
- Remember, I love you.
Mom! Mom!
- Clary!
- Mom!
Ow.
Clary?
Captain Vargas.
It's 2:00 in the morning. What
are you doing here so late?
Uh, um...
Luke said he'd, uh, drive
me home if he was still here.
Still doesn't trust those cabbies, huh?
Well, he's in the middle of an
interview. It could take a while.
Cool, I'll wait in the cafeteria.
Hey, uh... is there some sort of problem?
Guy trouble?
Yeah, sure.
Guy trouble, it's, uh...
something like that.
I won't let them find you.
This could all be over if you
just turn over the Mortal Cup.
That's not gonna happen.
After all these years,
you're still after it?
It's not for us.
It's for him.
Valentine's still alive.
He'll be pretty surprised
to see that you are, too.
I won't let Valentine create an army.
You once believed in him.
I believed in protecting humankind.
You'll never get the Cup.
No!
_
The minute we found out
Jocelyn Fairchild was alive,
- you were easy to track.
- Fairchild?
Turns out you and Jocelyn
were never that far apart.
The Circle has her now.
It's just a matter of time
until we catch the daughter.
You can have them both if
you give up the Mortal Cup.
I don't care about either of
them. They mean nothing to me.
Kill them both if you like.
My people want the Cup.
Why do you think I've been hanging
around here all these years?
Now, when I find the Cup...
I'm gonna keep it.
And you can tell Valentine
and the Circle that.
No one mentioned Valentine.
You didn't have to.
- Listen to me.
- No, you listen to me.
Get out of my office.
Mom... Mom...
_
You've returned.
I'm so sorry it had to
be this way, Jocelyn.
I told you to bring her back unharmed.
What happened?
A potion.
She must have been under
the protection of a warlock.
She was in league with the
Downworlder, hiding amongst the mundane.
Coward.
Jocelyn Fairchild was able to
hide from the Circle for 18 years.
Do you think a coward is
capable of something like that?
The only thing she's capable
of is smelling like a mundane.
I'm sorry?
She betrayed the Circle.
She doesn't deserve our respect.
Mom! Mom!
Mom!
Mom...
Mom!
Dot.
They took Jocelyn.
Who took her?
Rogue Shadowhunters
searching for the Mortal Cup.
What the hell are you talking about?
Think, Clary.
Did your mother ever
talk to you about a cup?
A very important cup.
It's gold, almost like a chalice.
No! No, I don't know
anything about a cup, Dot.
One of the antiquities downstairs?
No, no, not those.
Think, Clary. This could save Jocelyn.
I can't think! Someone kidnapped my mother!
You know more than you
think you do, Clary Fray.
What, no "thank you" for saving your life?
Careful. That demon got a piece of you.
- Demons?
- Yeah.
What do you think that
miserable, disgusting thing was?
I, uh... I thought it was Dot.
No, Ravener demon, shapeshifter.
You're just saying words now.
Why... why is the room swirling?
Demon venom.
It's that bad?
I got you.
Jocelyn, you're back with me.
Ow.
- Wait, I don't know who you...
- I'm Isabelle.
I've never seen Jace so
curious about a mundane...
or distracted.
Like you saw earlier, distractions
are dangerous in our line of work.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Who's Jace?
You really don't know much, do you?
All I know is some psychos took my
mother, and now you people have taken me.
And by "taken" I assume
you mean "saved your life"?
A mundane shouldn't even be here.
Where is "here" exactly?
- She's not a mundane, Alec.
- How do you know that?
Because the seraph blade
lit up when she touched it.
Look, Isabelle, can you...
I'm Jace Wayland.
- I'm, uh...
- Clary Fray, we know who you are.
Am I the only one who finds this unusual?
You find everything unusual, Alec.
I have to report this to the Clave.
You know what? Dial it down a notch.
My brother doesn't have a dial.
I love you, Alec, but you
have a switch that's always on.
I love you, too. But this...
Hey, you know what? Give me a minute.
Here's a word you never
hear me say. Please?
What is with you?
Really, no, what is with him?
Walk with me, big brother.
I'll explain it to you.
We don't know this girl.
There's no such thing as new Shadowhunters.
- There is now.
- You don't find that strange?
What I find strange is
that you're so upset.
Maybe you're upset by the
way Jace is looking at her.
You know, you should be happy
that Jace is interested in someone
other than himself.
Maybe I'm pissed that
she's ruined the mission.
We never found out who's buying the blood.
That was our one job.
Your wound, it's healed.
How is that even possible?
So, what, I'm miraculously
healed, and all of you...
stunning people have magical powers?
No. No, don't confuse me with a warlock.
- A what?
- A warlock.
It's one of the Downworlders.
Okay, you're not making any sense.
Warlocks, vampires, Seelies...
Literally my brain is about to explode.
Jeez, all right. Well,
I'll keep it simple for you.
All the legends are true.
We're Shadowhunters.
We protect the human
world from the demon world.
So those people you saw
murdered at the Pandemonium,
they weren't people at all,
they were shapeshifting demons.
I'm not interested in being a part
of your supernatural fight club.
I just wanna find my mom.
The rest of it, whatever it is,
all I care about
is finding my mother.
Please.
Please help me find her.
I'm the best chance you've got.
I don't even know you.
Simon.
How come you haven't answered
your phone in two days?
Things are... all ripped apart.
Where are you?
Find My Friends says your phone is
in an abandoned church on Deighton.
I'm outside.
I see you.
I don't see you.
Give me five minutes.
I have to get dressed.
Dressed? What are you doing
undressed in an abandoned church?
Clary, is there... Is there a
meth problem we have to talk about?
Simon, just give me five minutes, okay?
Um, what, uh... What
happened to my clothes?
Demon venom.
Remember?
Isabelle left you these.
You're kidding, right?
She's very comfortable with her body.
Okay.
How did that get there?
I drew that.
Okay, listen.
I still don't get everything
that's going on here,
but you do not tattoo my neck.
That's creepy.
Duly noted. I guess next
time I'll just let you die.
And it's not a tattoo.
It's a rune.
They have enormous power.
Good for Shadowhunters.
Lethal for humans.
But you, you already know
all about runes, don't you?
Maybe you don't.
Which is what makes you so interesting...
Clary Fray.
I saw something... behind your friend.
You're not gonna kill Simon, are you?
Protect the humans, kill the
demons. You'll get it eventually.
So, why can't Simon see you?
This is a glamour, a rune that
makes me invisible to mundanes.
It's a shame, really, 'cause...
well, denying them all this.
What do you have on, Clary?
Let me take you home.
I don't think I have one anymore.
Why? What do you mean?
Well...
Clary Fairchild!
Clary, what's going on?
What are you looking at?
If you give us the girl, I'll let you live.
You're in no position to be making rules.
Clary...
- We'll never stop hunting her.
- This is for my father.
- Jace!
- Excuse me?
- Is he dead?
- Is who dead?
What the...
Could you deglamourize, or whatever,
so my best friend doesn't
think I'm losing my mind?
Um... what is happening?
Yeah, we don't have the luxury
right now, kid. Everyone back inside.
Clary, who is this? Your meth dealer?
I've seen him before.
At the police station.
He's a member of the Circle.
Clary, he's here for you.
He's with the people who took my mother.
Right, your little best friend
here led him right to you.
He's here to capture or kill you.
There's a dead body there,
we have to call Luke.
We can't trust Luke, Simon. We can't.
Clary, I need to keep you safe.
I promise you, I promise I am
gonna help you find your mother.
But you're one of us.
You're a Shadowhunter.
What are you talking about?
Clary... you don't know
this guy, all right?
Come with me. I can get us help.
Clary, please.
Clary, come on.
I don't see the Mortal Cup!
We searched.
It's not in the loft.
Just because you couldn't find
it doesn't mean it isn't there.
There's a daughter.
It looks just like Jocelyn.
There's no sign of the father.
Could be a mundane.
Jocelyn has a daughter?
Well, in that case, I'd like
to speak to Jocelyn's daughter.
