Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 12 - Malec - full transcript

The institute is in full swing as everyone prepares for Alec and Lydia's wedding. But not everyone is celebrating as relationships are tested. Clary and Jace struggle to come to terms with their newly revealed past. Alec is confused with his feelings for Magnus especially when Magnus won't give up on him. Magnus, Clary, and Jace search for Ragnor Fell, a warlock that may hold the antidote to wake up Jocelyn .

- We need blood.
- So I've heard.

Human blood.

Everything's out of control.

We were fools to believe
Valentine was dead.

Previously on Shadowhunters...

My sister wants you to
be her defense attorney.

For the right price.

- Name it.
- You.

Clary, if you don't help us,

no one survives. Do you understand?

Mom, please, wake up.



- You're out of order.
- This whole thing is out of order.

I am your father, Clary. And Jace's.

- They're brother and sister.
- That means they can't...

You'll be lonely all your
life. Neither of you deserve it.

And I don't either.

Bring the flowers out to the wedding tent.

Put the lilies up on the dais, and
lay the rose petals at the entrance.

Isabelle, which color do you like better?

It's for the curtains
adorning the wedding tent.

Hmm.

The cobalt blue. It's elegant,
masculine... very Alec.

I'll put the cobalt blue out right away.

How are we supposed to get any
work done with all this going on?

We haven't had a wedding here in years.



- People are allowed to be excited.
- We need to focus.

Have you narrowed down
the list of warlocks

more powerful than Magnus Bane?

I've got it down to 20.

But it's gonna be hard to figure out

which one cast that spell on Jocelyn.

I don't care how tough it
is, we've gotta find him.

Back at Renwick's, I let Valentine go.

I won't make that mistake again.

We gotta wake up Jocelyn, in case
she heard anything about his plan.

Have you spoken to Alec?

He's probably busy, what
with wedding plans and all.

And I don't need to talk to anyone.

Let's just stick to the mission, okay?

She looks so peaceful now.

I just wish I knew how to reach her.

She's gonna be fine.

I'm sorry, Clary.

We should have told you
everything before this got...

Luke, we can hash all that
out when we wake Mom up.

The important thing now
is that we have her back.

I'm looking for Lydia.

Have you seen her?

- I don't mean to interrupt your...
- No, stay for a minute.

I gotta get back to the station.

- Call me if anything changes?
- Yeah.

So, how is she?

The same, I guess.

Alec, I know you and I don't
always see eye to eye on things...

Actually, we never see
eye to eye on anything,

but I do want to thank you

for everything you've
done to get my mom back.

Actually I...

I should thank you.

I don't know what would
have happened to Isabelle

after the trial if you
hadn't returned the Cup.

You saved my sister,
so thank you.

Yeah, my whole world
turned upside down, but, um,

you and I thanking each other...

... that's... that's too much.

Yeah.

Magnus needs to speak with me.

He might have some information about
how to wake your mother up or...

stop Valentine. It's important.

Mmm. Yeah.

Hello... Magnus?

You said you needed to talk to me.

Nice to see you, Alec.

I wasn't sure if you'd come.

You know how I hate to drink alone.

I didn't come here to drink.

Do you have any information...

On the warlock who
cast a spell on Jocelyn?

I'm looking into it. But...

we never really finished our
conversation after Izzy's trial.

About your wedding?

There's no conversation to be had.

I'm getting married.

You and I, we understand
marriage very differently.

I'm a Shadowhunter.

This is about family,
and tradition, honor...

Honor?

Where's the honor in living a lie?

What are you talking about?

What about love?

Even Shadowhunters fall in love, Alec.

Just tell me you're in love with Lydia,

and I'll stop.

I don't know.

Why do you keep pushing?

You're confusing me.

Confusion is part of it.

That's how you find out
if something's there.

Emotions are never black and white.

They're more like symptoms.

You lose your breath every
time they enter a room.

Your heart beats faster when they walk by.

Your skin tingles when they stand

close enough to feel their breath.

I know you feel what I feel, Alec.

You don't have any clue what I feel...

so back off.

This is all just a game to you, isn't it?

You flirt, you laugh,
you use magic,

but at the end of the
day, what do you risk?

Even if I did feel something for you...

you want me to give up my life for you?

I have to do what's right for me.

I could lose my family,
my career, everything!

You just don't get it.

You have a choice to make.

I will not ask again.

Hey, Clary. What's goin' on?

I just, uh, needed to hear your voice.

Are you okay? You sound upset.

Yeah, I'm fine. Just...

things are kind of weird
with Jace right now, but

- we'll work it out.
- So how's your mom?

I mean, I can't believe
you actually rescued her.

We still have to wake her up, but

at least she's away from Valentine.

When can I see her?

How about tomorrow night?
She's here at the infirmary.

Plus, it's Alec's wedding, so...

I'd love if you'd come as my date.

Really?

I... See, I just assumed
you'd want to go with Jace.

That's, uh... not really
in the cards right now.

Besides, you are the person
I'm closest to in the world.

- Please come.
- I'd love to.

Um... But I might be
a little bit late,

you know, with the sun and all.

You are the best.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Yeah.

Morning.

Morning.

You just come from training?

Yeah. I'm, uh, workin' on my right hook.

Good. That's a good punch.

Yeah. I'm, uh, I'm workin' on it.

While this conversation
is no doubt scintillating,

remind me why we couldn't
do this at my place?

- At least there we'd have cocktails.
- It's 9:00 in the morning.

Oh, it's happy hour somewhere, my dear.

We invited you here, Magnus,

because Hodge can't leave the Institute.

He's an important part of this mission.

Well, then, where is
our tardy little tutor?

There are certain individuals
that I'd like to avoid,

- so let's make this quick.
- Pardon the delay, Magnus.

I was following up on a lead.

Now, we've narrowed
down our list of warlocks

to these three.

Why is Ragnor Fell up there?
He's not more powerful than I am.

Well, some would disagree.
He is older than you.

- Certainly not wiser.
- Who is Ragnor Fell?

The former High Warlock of London.

And one of my oldest friends.

Very prickly, likes to keep to himself.

Okay, look. We just need to figure
out which one of these warlocks

had enough access to Jocelyn

that they could create the potion for her

without anyone discovering
what they'd done.

By the early '90s, Ragnor was a professor

at the Shadowhunter Academy in Idris.

Isn't that when my mother lived there?

Could he have made the potion for her?

The little bugger!

That's why he hasn't
responded to my fire message.

Ever since Valentine
began hunting warlocks,

Ragnor's been holed up in
his secret country house

just outside of London.

For all I know, Ragnor
suspected my fire message

was a ploy by Valentine
to lure him out of hiding.

We'll have to confront him face-to-face.

- You're going on this mission?
- Of course!

I'm the only one Ragnor trusts.

Besides, I've played my last hand here.

Even I know when to fold.

Magnus, I didn't know you were here.

That was the point.

We're just on our way to greet

a few representatives of the Clave

who arrived early for tomorrow's wedding.

How long are you staying?

What's going on here? Nobody
told me about a meeting.

Magnus figured out that Ragnor Fell

is the warlock who can wake my mom.

We're just bringing him
back to the Institute.

How can I help?

We're just recovering a warlock,
Alec. We got this covered.

Besides, you have emissaries
from the Clave to meet.

You don't want to tarnish your family's

perfectly-crafted image now, do you?

Again, lovely seeing you, Magnus.

Get ready. We leave in an hour.

Jace.

Jace, slow down. We
need to talk about this.

Talk about what? We're good, okay?

No, we're not. At least... I'm not.

We need to talk about what
Valentine said about us.

Look, I don't want to talk about it.

It happened. I feel weird right now.

I get it. I feel the
same way, okay? But...

Look, we didn't know, all
right? It's not our fault.

I can't do this right now. I'm sorry.

Now that the Clave has
control of the Mortal Cup,

thanks to your lovely bride to be,

Mom and Dad can come home
now. They arrive tonight.

I heard.

Max is staying with his tutors
in Idris. It's safer there.

Now with all the dignitaries
arriving for the wedding,

Mom must be beside herself.

This wedding is becoming more
of a headache than I had planned.

Alec, you don't have to go through
with this if you don't want to.

It's what I want.

- Okay.
- Okay?

No big argument from you?

You stood by me through my trial,

and now I'm standing by you, big brother.

And... I'm throwing you a bachelor party.

- A what?
- A bachelor party.

I don't need a bachelor party.

No one needs a bachelor party,
but I'm throwing you one anyways.

Actually, Jace should
be the one throwing it,

but considering everything he
must be going through with Clary...

I don't wanna ask him to do anything.

- You know what I mean?
- I do.

Sisters can really
drive you nuts sometimes.

Ragnor's house is just
across these fields.

Let's make this quick.

We'll talk to Ragnor, then
Portal him back to the Institute

before anyone knows we're gone.

So... brother and sister, huh?

I don't wanna talk about it.

What, so we're just
gonna be work buddies now?

All about the mission, and totally ignore

- the huge bomb that just dropped on us.
- Yeah, sounds like a plan.

What do you want me to say, Clary?

That I was attracted to my sister?

Point of fact,

brother and sisters are
often attracted to each other.

I once knew this one
couple in ancient Egypt...

Magnus, not helping.

Maybe this will all make
sense when we wake up Jocelyn.

Since she is Jace's
mother as well, perhaps...

Don't say that again.

Maryse is my mother.

At best, Jocelyn is the
woman who abandoned me.

Hey, that is not true.

My mother would never abandon her
son. She thought you were dead.

Or maybe she just didn't want me.

- You don't know her, Jace.
- That's right, Clary, I don't.

Do you?

I'm sorry I asked!

I came with you to escape
my relationship drama,

not get a front row seat to yours.

- What was that?
- Nice try, Jace.

You're not getting out of
this conversation that easily.

Look out!

Ragnor put up wards to protect his lair.

Why is the fire green?

It's a wall of fire that only the pure

of heart and intention can pass through.

Are you ready?

Jace?

Magnus?

Where are you?

Ragnor Fell.

Ragnor?

Ragnor?

Hello?

Is anybody home?

I need your help.

Ragnor, I know you're here.

I just need to find my friends.

Nice try, Ragnor.

Well done... Clary Fairchild.

I've been expecting you. You
have Jocelyn's talent, I see.

Only a true artist would notice
the subtle changes in my eyes.

Yes, I know.

I need to work on not moving my
eyes, you don't need to remind me.

You knew my mom?

So you made the potion
that put her to sleep?

At her request, yes.

And I knew it was only a matter of time

before you came to me
looking for the antidote.

Please, sit.

My friends, Jace Wayland and Magnus Bane.

They were with me, but
I lost them in the fire.

Let me do this my way!
Your friends, are they true?

Magnus said he's known you for centuries.

He sent you a fire message.

This is not an act. It is
not an act! It is essential.

Okay, what is your deal?

My friends are missing
and if you can't help me,

- I'll find someone who can.
- What is it worth to you?

You find my friends and wake my mother...

- I'll give you anything.
- That's what I wanted to hear.

Honestly, Ragnor,

was that nonsense necessary?

Of course. She offered me anything.

You were only up to a
timeshare of your flat in Paris.

Yawn.

All right, enough with the warlock games.

Can you really wake my mother?

Not without the Book of the White.

What is the Book of the White?

It's an ancient book of warlock magic

containing spells more powerful than...

most warlocks could ever imagine.

I possessed the book when
your mother came to me,

and I used its contents
to create the potion.

Regrettably, I no longer have the book.

I asked Jocelyn to hide it that
Valentine might never find it.

Ragnor, please, I have to get my mom back.

Is there any way to get
the Book of the White?

Possibly. I may have
something that can help us.

Won't be but a moment.

What do we do if he can't find the book?

We'll cross that bridge
when we come to it.

It's a bit drab, isn't it?

Ragnor!

Shax demon.

Creature took me... by surprise.

How could a Shax demon
get past Ragnor's wards?

It must have followed us.

Jumped through when the fire wall reset.

Be still, my little dear cabbage.

Your wounds are deep.

Hold on, please.

No, no, no.

For centuries, this man
knew me better than anyone.

Magnus, I'm so sorry.

We have to leave, now.

We can't. Not until we find
whatever it is Ragnor said

could help us locate
the Book of the White.

It's too dangerous.

If one Shax demon found us,

- you can bet there are more on the way.
- We have to try!

We don't have time

to scour through mountains
of Ragnor's stuff.

Get back to the Institute.

I'll transport everything back to
my place, and find what you need.

Now, leave me to take care of my friend.

- Magnus, I am...
- Go!

Jace, you're coming to
Alec's bachelor party, right?

No. He doesn't want me
there, and I'm swamped.

You two seriously haven't
worked things out yet?

There's nothing to work out.
If he wants to talk, we'll talk.

He's your parabatai.

We have more important things
going on than a bachelor party.

Come with me.

We have a mole in the Institute.

We were attacked by a Shax demon

when we went to see Ragnor Fell.

The attack couldn't have been coincidence.

Valentine must have been tracking us.

You don't think someone from the Institute

told Valentine where you were going.

There's no other explanation.

No one here would betray us like that.

This is our family.

Magnus figured out that Ragnor Fell

is the warlock who can wake my mom.

We're bringing him back to the Institute.

Not everyone's family yet.

I swear, if Lydia is
the leak, I'm gonna...

Slow down.

We don't know if she did anything yet.

And wrongfully accusing
someone of a crime is dangerous.

Trust me, I've been through it.

Lydia was right there when we
were talking about Ragnor Fell.

If she's not gonna admit what she
did, I'm gonna make her admit it.

Jace, stop. You are too worked
up to talk to anyone right now.

Especially not an important
envoy from the Clave.

Let me talk to Lydia. If you
accuse Alec's fianc?e of treason,

you will ruin whatever
relationship you have left with him.

Clary's right, Jace. If Lydia did this,

she might not be so defensive with Clary.

She might let her guard down.

- Slip up.
- Fine.

But I wanna know everything she says.

It's perfect. I love it.

I'm so glad. Let me know
if you need anything else.

- Your dress is stunning.
- Thank you.

I feel more nervous wearing that dress

than I ever have on the battlefield.

I think that's pretty normal.

Lydia, I need to talk
to you about something.

What is it?

Valentine sent a Shax demon to
track us on our mission today.

It killed Ragnor Fell.

By the Angel...

Only a few people here at the Institute

even knew we were going on the mission.

You overheard us this
morning. Then we were attacked.

If I was working for Valentine,

don't you think I would have
already given him the Mortal Cup?

I don't believe this.

Fellow Shadowhunters
accusing me of high treason.

- Lydia, I'm not accusing you of anything.
- Of course you are.

Unless you have hard
evidence to back your claims,

I believe this conversation is over.

Fine, but know this.

These people have become
like family to me...

and I protect my family.

I care about them too.

Why else would I be marrying Alec?

How well do you actually know him?

You're talking about
Alec's feelings for Magnus?

- I'm not blind.
- If... if you're not in love with Alec,

then why are you going
through with this marriage?

Alec's love for his family

and his desire to
restore the Lightwood name

has touched me in ways that I
haven't felt in a very long time.

Alec is a man of honor...

and I truly care about him.

But what about Alec's happiness?

Shadowhunters know that
our duty to our family

supersedes our personal desires.

Look, I know that you're
still new to this world

and our traditions may
seem foreign to you,

- but I...
- Yeah, more like ice cold.

Alec should not have to give up who he is,

or at least the chance to figure
it out, just to please his family.

But Alec proposed to me.

This is what he wants.

How do I trust you?

You're Valentine's daughter...

and I learned to trust you.

Nice.

Trim fit.

- It'll make it look like you work out.
- Isabelle.

Is... is Clary okay?

She's fine.

I just need your advice on something.

First time for everything, huh?

You can go now, Stan. What's up?

It's about Alec's bachelor party.

When you were a mundane,
you went to one, right?

Well, I'm only 18, and
I'm a vampire now, so...

But... I know a thing or two.

Simon...

what makes a bachelor party...

a bachelor party?

Well, there is a certain
bridge and tunnel crowd

that would say the answer
to that is strippers.

But, you know, there's no one
right way to throw a bachelor party.

It... depends on who's there.

Like... they're really about

best friends coming together
and assuring each other that

they're always gonna be best friends.

Even if one of them gets married.

So it's about solidifying the bonds

with the people that are closest to you?

That, and a ton of drinking.

You have both of those,

and your bachelor party will be a success.

How I loathe that photograph.

I must remember, chin down, eyes up.

Otherwise, I look like a squinty toad.

You're here.

You didn't think you'd be rid
of me that easily, did you?

Oh, my dear friend,

I will always be here for you.

Now, please, put away
that horrid photograph.

It commemorates a night I'd rather forget.

Oh, how I had to comfort you.

How I loved her.

I prayed she would love me
the same, but she just laughed.

To Camille, immortals aren't
supposed to feel true love.

She was so cynical.

Camille broke my heart.

You let her break your heart, my friend.

You're immortal...
but she killed you.

Ready? A couple more steps.

We're almost there!

All right, Izzy... You
trust me, don't you?

No, not really.

And I told you, I don't
need a bachelor party.

You need this one.

Now, count to five,

and take your blindfold off.

Really, Izzy?

Seriously?

Izzy said you wanted to talk.

I don't know what she
thought I wanted to say.

Great. I guess I'll go.

I've got work to do anyway.

Damn it, Izzy.

You know what? She's right.

We do need to talk.

Okay. Well, it's my bachelor party, so

you go first.

I don't know how things
got so messed up between us.

But I do know my life has been a
lot harder not having you to talk to.

Mine, too.

I know it seems like I've been
making a lot of crazy choices lately.

And I know you think

that I was only thinking
about myself... and Clary,

and I wasn't thinking about
the consequences to anyone else.

All I can say is, I've
been going through a lot.

But I only ever did what
I thought was right, Alec.

But I never wanted to hurt you.

I'm sorry.

I know.

You know, we just...

- got caught in all this drama.
- Yeah.

I mean... you're getting married tomorrow.

And Clary's your sister.

You know, what's up with that?

Hell. Yeah, uh, don't even
get me started on that.

I kissed her. Mmm.

It's worse, I wanted her.

I was falling in love.

I must be sick or something. I don't know.

No.

Nah.

You're not sick.

Situation's just...

It's confusing.

And trust me, I know.

You know, it's like,

you have this plan for your life...

right, and you know what you need to do

and what your responsibilities are.

And you think, you know,

"If you follow the rules,
everything's gonna be fine."

Then somebody comes along, and...

pushes you off that path.

You just...

Hey...

I get it.

The point is, we're Shadowhunters.

Emotions get in the way.

And if you get knocked off the path,

you have to focus...

and find your way back.

I mean, you still have
to be true to yourself.

I am.

I'm fulfilling my duty.

Look, would you be my suggenes
and give me away tomorrow?

Alec,

if this is what you really want...

I'd be honored.

I'm always gonna be here for you.

Me, too.

I wouldn't describe that
as an instrument of music.

An instrument of torture, perhaps.

- Oh, you never liked the charango.
- No, I did not.

And I pray you don't play it.

Death has already given
me enough of a headache.

Do you remember Imasu? He
played this so beautifully.

I'm surprised that
lasted as long as it did.

He was always so much
better looking than you.

I don't understand why you
didn't go after the boy.

I'm certain, with very little
effort, you could have won him back.

No. Imasu wanted more than I can give.

Maybe Camille was right. I am immortal.

I can party and have
fun to my heart's content

without the anchors
of love around my feet.

You are not Camille.

And though I know you won't believe me,

someday someone will come along

who will tear down those walls
you've built around your heart.

And when that love comes back to you,

you must do everything in
your power to fight for it.

Going somewhere?

Even in death...

you give the best advice.

Be nice if you took it more
than once every 300 years.

I...

When you first proposed to
Lydia, I'll admit, I was wary.

But now...

you've made me so proud.

All right, you're ready for this?

- As ready as I'll ever be.
- Good.

I'm glad you're here with me.

Wouldn't be anywhere else.

- Sorry I'm late.
- Hey.

Did I miss anything? I
left right at sunset.

No, you're right on time.

- Cool.
- Simon, you look incredible.

Thanks. I borrowed one of Raphael's suits.

Embracing the new me.

- So, how's your mom?
- She's good.

Uh, Luke's with her right
now, watching over her.

Attention.

The ceremony is about to commence.

Wow.

It is time for Alec
Lightwood and Lydia Branwell

to mark each other with
the Wedded Union rune.

A rune on the hand, a
rune on the heart,

a union is born.

What's that warlock doing here?

Izzy... - did Alec invite Magnus?
- I did.

But I didn't think he'd show.

Magnus, leave this wedding now.

Maryse, this is between me and your son.

I'll leave if he asks me to.

Are you gonna be okay, buddy?

Alec?

Hey.

I...

I can't breathe.

I know.

It's okay.

I can't do this.

I thought we were doing
the right thing, but...

this isn't it.

You don't have to explain.

- Lydia, I'm sorry.
- Hey...

you deserve to be happy.

Okay?

I'll be fine.

- Alec, what are you doing?
- Enough.

d 'Cause I'm overcome
in this war of hearts d

- You never cease to amaze me, Alec.
- Yeah...

What did I just do?

Alec, I am so proud of you.

Guys, that was incredible.

It was like watching the
live version of The Graduate.

You know, the Dustin Hoffman
movie? The amazing one?

You were Ben.

Elaine! And you were Elaine.

I mean, a... a taller,

masculine, handsome version of her.

But at the altar, though, you were like...

Ben!

And then... and then now,

you're both sitting on the
bus at the end of the movie,

both totally stoked,
but wondering, like...

"What're we gonna do now?"

You know?

Who invited the vampire?

Seriously?

Hey.

What you just did for Alec...

- I, um...
- It was the right thing to do.

So what are you gonna do now?

Head back to Idris.

Dive into work.

There's no place for me here.

There's always gonna
be a place for you here.

Give Alec and Magnus my best.

Is Lydia gonna be okay?

She'll be all right.

Look, Clary...

Listen, I just need to
say that... you were right.

Seeing what Alec just did,

I realized I can't shut you out.

I just don't know what
to do with all this.

Much as this will shock Alec,

my visit tonight wasn't all for him.

We need to speak privately.

I pulled every item of magical importance

from Ragnor's belongings.

But I can't determine which will
lead to the Book of the White.

Wait, this bookmark. I've seen it before.

In the alternate dimension
you showed me a book of spells,

and this was in it. It must
have been the Book of the White.

If that's the case,

we can use the bookmark to
track the owner of the book.

Okay.

Warlock tracking is stronger.

Let me out of here!

Well, there's good news and bad news.

The good news is I
know the owner. The bad?

- It's Camille.
- Camille?

Looks like Raphael has her locked up

in the basement of the Hotel DuMort.

Well, after I punched her,
there's no way she'll help me.

She won't have a choice.

Trust me.

Why'd you ask me up here, Clary?

I needed you to see this.

What is all that?

Luke told me that my mother had a son.

Jonathan Christopher.

- What's that?
- It's my name.

"JC."

Jace.

Short for Jonathan Christopher.

Jace, I know all of this is
impossible to believe, but...

our mother never abandoned you.

She thought you were dead.

This is all she had left, and she...

she carried you with her every single day.

Is all this really mine?

I don't know who I am anymore.

There's darkness in me.

It's always been there.

And now I...

When we rescued Jocelyn...

and I let Valentine go...

I was tempted to go with him.

He's my father.

Maybe that's where I belong.

Jace...

I know you're a good man.

I don't know how, but we are
going to make sense of all this.

I promise.

I'm so glad we got away

from that crowd and all those people.

So intense.

I have to hand it to you, Alexander...

you certainly know how
to make a statement.

What have you done, Alec?

To us, this family?

- This isn't about you.
- Of course it is.

You are either being selfish or naive.

This wedding was your plan from the start.

And now you have humiliated us in front of

the most respected members of the Clave.

I don't even recognize you anymore.

I'm the same person I've always been.

Now everything's just out in the open.

And all for a Downworlder.

Just give her time.

And you?

I don't really understand this.

But I suppose our world is changing.

How long has this been going on?

Are you two in love?

Love? What? No.

No, it's... it's, uh, it's sort
of a different... It's not...

It's all very new.

Right.

I better go check on Mom.

You know what I just realized?

We still haven't gone on our date yet.

Yeah, you're right.

You wanna...

I don't know, get a drink sometime?

I would love that.

Great.

Looks like we missed
the wedding of the year.

It's all right.

You and I will be able to
share our love openly one day.

How is she?

She's asleep... but she's home.

You okay, Hodge?

Yeah. You should get some rest.

You've been so vigilant.

Why don't you let me watch over her.

Thank you, my friend.

Of course.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- Yeah.

You have the Cup.

Help me break my Punishment rune...

and I will bring it to you.

A deal is a deal.
