Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - This Guilty Blood - full transcript

The Institute is in upheaval after Jace departs with Valentine. Clary, Alec and Isabelle are desperate to find Jace. Jocelyn has a lot to catch up on, now that she's awake.

Warlocks, vampires...

All the legends are true.

We protect the human world
from the demon world.

You're a Shadowhunter,
just like the rest of us.

I'm getting married to Lydia.

Maybe you should do
what's in your heart.

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

I need to talk to you. I think
I'm becoming a vampire.

Got a lot of stuff
to work on here.

Like controlling my
murderous tendencies.

The Mortal Cup is the most important
object in the Shadow World.



Valentine has the Cup.

He'll create an army
of Shadowhunters.

He'll kill thousands
just creating the army.

Strike where your
opponent is vulnerable.

He's here.

- Where's your brother?
- Stay away from her!

Simon!

Fight me, and watch
your friends die.

- They make you weak.
- Jace...

Valentine is wrong.

- You're not like him.
- You don't know that, Clary.

You don't know that.

Jace...

Join me... And my son!



Together, we can rid the world
of the demons who plague it.

You are the new breed
of Shadowhunters!

Jace...

Clary?

Clary.

- How did you get here?
- I Portaled in.

Come on, let's go. We
don't have much time.

- I can't.
- What?

Look, we got to get
you out of here.

No, I'm not leaving without you.

My dear Clarissa.

- You are tenacious, aren't you?
- Stay back.

I killed him.

- Jace, come on. Let's go.
- Valentine...

- We have to go, now!
- No! Get 'em!

Miss me, son?

Jace!

What is this place?

Looks like a Downworld prison.

More like a zoo.

Where's the Portal?

Your skills may be
unparalleled...

But your loyalty
is sorely lacking.

String him up.

Any word from the Clave?

Not yet, and we've been trying
for the past four hours.

- Something's up.
- Mmm, the Clave being unhelpful?

Who's shocked? Show of hands?

I'm worried. I can't sense Jace
through our parabatai bond.

We'll find him, Alexander.

When we arrested Hodge, he
said Valentine was on a ship.

They must still be over water.

Pull up the waterways
around New York.

The ship couldn't
have gone too far.

- Anything?
- Sorry.

There's got to be something!

I don't see him.

All right, listen up!

I want 24/7 monitoring of
the Hudson and East Rivers.

If you see anything unusual,
you come to me first.

I've got this, Alec.

Then why haven't you
found Jace yet?

Don't forget who
you're talking to.

I am still the head
of this institute.

And my brother is still missing!

- Why don't you just take a break?
- Not now, Izzy.

Isabelle's right, and
it's not a request.

You're dismissed.

Fine!

Hey...

Everybody, just back off!

Mom.

- My sweet girl!
- I never thought I'd see you again.

I'm so sorry.

I never meant for any
of this to happen.

All I ever wanted to
do was to protect you.

I know, but...

I'm not a kid anymore. You
don't have to protect me.

Yes, I do.

By telling me lies?

Clary...

It's my life. I... I
had a right to know.

I was scared.

Because you married
a psychopath...

My father.

So, you know.

- Mom, how could you?
- Oh, Clary.

Your father, he wasn't
always like this.

- I deserved to know who I really am.
- I know.

And I promise from now
on, no more lies.

Okay.

I have something for you.

Where did you get this?

Under the floorboards.

When I was a little kid and
I couldn't sleep, I...

Used to watch you take it out and
cry over it in your bedroom.

I used to think it was about
my father, but now...

I know it's about my brother.

Jonathan.

His name is Jace.

He's alive.

That's impossible.

I'm sorry for how I reacted before.
It's not personal.

I get it.

I'm a lot to get used to.

I know what you're going
through, Alexander.

No, I...

I don't think you do.

Jace is a part of me.

Through a rune, we are both
physically and emotionally connected.

If he dies, a part
of me dies, too.

And I know he's out there.

And he's in trouble,

and there's not a damn
thing I can do about it.

Tell me what I can do.

Help me track Jace. I
want to use our rune.

I just need your
magic for the pain.

- I can't help you with this.
- Why not?

The last time you used a rune to
track Jace, it almost killed you.

Why can't you just
do this one thing?

After everything
I've done for you.

You don't understand,
I saw them burn.

Sorry, I just wanted to
make sure everything was...

- Okay.
- Luke.

You all right?

Is it true?

Is Jonathan alive?

I couldn't believe
it either at first.

Hey, guys.

- Simon.
- Hey, Mrs. F.

Good to see you on your feet again.
You look great...

Considering the coma situation.

What're you doing here?

Um... It's kind of a long story.

So, um, a lot... A lot
happened while you were away.

- Yeah.
- Like what?

You're a vampire.

We have to get to the
ops center, right now.

We are at war.

Valentine now has
the Mortal Cup,

with which he is, no
doubt, raising a new army,

and one of our own
has joined him.

Looks like the queen's
taking back her kingdom.

As a result, the
Clave has declared

a state of emergency
at the Institute.

Their first priority
is to replace

the current leadership, who they
have deemed wholly ineffectual.

It is an honor to introduce

the newly appointed head
of the New York Institute,

Clave representative,
Victor Aldertree.

- Did you know about this?
- No.

But maybe this is why
Dad went back to Idris.

Maryse went behind my back.

My fellow Shadowhunters.

It's an honor to be
here with you all.

We have to find Jace Wayland.

He's a Shadowhunter, and we
don't leave our people behind.

The answer to his location may
very well lie in this room.

So, I wanna speak with everyone

who went on a mission
where Jace disappeared.

One last thing.

Effective immediately, the
Institute is on lockdown.

But it's only temporary. Let's
turn this institute around.

Wait, if we're on lockdown, who's
out there looking for Jace?

We'll think of something.
Don't worry.

Jace is tough.

Valentine will never break him.

Enough!

I killed you twice today.

You want to go for
another round, huh?

You're a born fighter.

I like it.

Get dressed.

We have a lot to talk about.

You wanted to see me?

Yes, Clary.

Take a seat.

Sorry about the camera.

Like I told your friends
when they came in,

this is official business, so...

I have to be official.

Now...

Let's talk about Jace.

Okay.

You had the impression
he was saving your lives

by leaving with Valentine?

It's more than an impression.
It's what actually happened.

If he had tried anything, the rest
of us would have been killed.

Was he within striking
distance of Valentine?

I told you, it... It...

Could he have taken the man out?

It was an impossible
situation, okay?

Jace tried to warn us.

He told us Valentine
was on the way.

So... Jace knew ahead of time that
Valentine was setting a trap.

- How do you suppose he knew that?
- I don't know.

He told us to get out of there.

Next thing I knew, I had a
seraph blade to my throat.

Oh.

Got it.

Look, Jace saved our lives.
We have to find him.

That's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

Mmm. Needs pecorino, hmm?

Do you remember your fifth birthday?
And I made you spaghetti?

Your absolute favorite.

Michael Wayland used
to make me spaghetti.

Just try some.

You really think I want
to have a meal with you?

Didn't I teach you not
to play with knives?

Look, I know that head of
yours is full of questions.

So, go ahead. Don't be shy.

Why did you fake your death and
pretend to be Michael Wayland?

To protect you from my enemies.

As Michael Wayland, I
knew you'd be safe.

- Safe?
- Mmm-hmm.

You made me an orphan.

I spent my entire life
mourning a father

I thought died in
front of my eyes.

Well, it made you
stronger, didn't it?

No, the Lightwoods
made me strong.

They took me in,
they trained me.

If anyone's my
parents, they are.

I had no choice, Jonathan.
My enemies were closing in.

I sent you to a place where I
knew you would be cared for.

Father of the year.

Look, we had ten years
together, and sure...

I may have been
hard on you, but...

It's because I loved you, son.

No.

All you've ever
done is lie to me.

You told me I never
had a mother.

What did you want me to say?

That I saved you and that
your mother deserted you?

- She left you to die in Idris.
- What?

Why would she do that?

Because you're different.

You're special.

Look, I know that you have
always felt more powerful

than everyone else around you.

That's because you are.

You experimented on me?

I made you stronger,

faster...

More lethal than any
other Shadowhunter.

Why?

To create the perfect weapon,

the ideal marriage
of good and evil.

A Shadowhunter with
pure demon blood.

Hey! Hey!

Are you goin' home?

Where else would I be going?

My interview's over,
and I'm exhausted.

Besides, at my house,
there's steak and vodka.

I'd rather be there.

Wait, you're just...
You're not gonna help?

You really don't get it, do you?

You didn't risk anything for
me, you did it for you.

What?

Are you seriously doing this right now?
Right now?

You know damn well I want to find
Jace just as much as you do,

but that's no excuse
to treat me like...

Well, then, what do
you want from me?

At the moment...

Nothing.

Who sounded the alarm?

- What's going on?
- Oh, no.

Jace.

Aldertree said he
wanted to rescue Jace.

Actually, Clary, I said
I wanted to find him.

And you gave me the clue I
needed to do just that.

- What did you tell him?
- Alec, it...

Is this everyone?

Fantastic.

First up, all Downworlders
are forbidden

from entering the Institute
without my prior approval.

For those still present, good day.
Mr. Graymark...

I'm not leaving Jocelyn.

Besides, my badge gives access to
resources that you don't have.

I can help you find Jace.

That's generous of you, but
I'm going to have to insist.

- Call me when you can.
- Yeah.

You, too... Simon.

Simon, right?

It's almost dawn.

I don't have anywhere to go.

Hey, you're a smart guy.

I'm sure you'll
figure something out.

Simon, come on.

I'll be okay.

Now... Let's get to it.

I've reviewed your statements,

along with the reports of
your unsanctioned missions.

And I can come to
no other conclusion

that Jace Wayland is a
traitor to the Clave.

Jace is not a traitor.

Point of fact. Clary
said Jace called

to warn you about
Valentine's trap,

which got me thinking...

Jace had multiple chances
to kill Valentine,

but chose to let him leave.

Now, Valentine, Jace, and
the Cup are missing.

Do the math.

There is no way we're going
to help you hunt Jace.

And I'd never ask you to.

You and your friends are prohibited
from any further involvement

for the hunt for Jace Wayland.

What?

The rest of you, back to work.

I'm lifting the lockdown on the
Institute, except for Clary and Jocelyn.

Given your relationship
to Valentine and Jace,

I want to keep a
close eye on you.

This is ridiculous!

- Clary...
- No!

We cannot just sit around.

Okay, they're going to kill Jace.
He's your son.

I know you think you understand
this world, but you don't.

Dismissed!

You can't do this.

See, that's the thing
about being the boss.

I can and I did.

Then revoke the
dead-or-alive order.

Jace is one of us.

Challenging the authority of
the head of the Institute

is grounds for
severe punishment,

including de-runing.

Thanks for letting
me crash here.

- You're a lifesaver.
- You can stay as long as you like.

I'll be at the station
when you wake up tonight.

So, um, this... This
Aldertree guy...

He's got issues, right?

Aldertree's not the
problem, the Clave is.

They're scared, so
they're clamping down.

So, do you think it's true...

What they're saying about Jace?

That he's working
with Valentine?

- I don't think so.
- I mean...

He could come for Clary next.

He's totally hung up on her.

So, are you worried about Jace?

Or maybe telling
Clary how you feel?

Be bold, Simon.

I'm bold...

Adjacent.

I gotta take this. "Adjacent."

Garroway.

Bold.

I can totally be bold.

What's up, guys?

We know Luke said you
could crash here...

But not here.

You don't want to touch me.

Encanto.

What the hell are you doing?

Encanto.

Um... Encanto.

It's supposed to make you
do whatever I tell you to.

You're the worst vampire ever.

Okay.

Welcome to your new home.

Left! Right! Left! Right!

Impressive, aren't they?

But they still don't have the
inherent gifts that you have.

You took to a seraph blade the
way a baby takes to a bottle.

What kind of a father experiments
on his son with pure demon blood?

A father with perspective.

We both want the same thing.

To save this world from demons.

The Clave fights demons.

The Clave has grown soft...

Protecting Downworlders
with the Accords.

All Downworlders, one day,

will give in to their
violent tendencies.

It's unavoidable.

Even a single drop of demon
blood running in your veins,

makes you a threat to humanity.

I... I know plenty
of Downworlders

who play by the rules.

They control their urges.

You're thinking of
Lucian Graymark,

warlocks like Magnus
Bane, and even...

Clarissa's little
vampire friend Simon?

No matter how good
they try to be,

Downworlders cannot control
their demonic blood forever.

If that blood is so evil,

why did you put it in me?

To fight fire with fire.

I wouldn't jump if I were you.

Why? Because I'm your
ultimate weapon?

This warlock is infamous for
crimes against mundanes.

There's something else
I want you to see.

- Come on, let's do this.
- Do what?

You seriously want
to train right now?

We have to find Jace before
Victor gets him killed.

Training's important.

So, pay attention to what
I'm about to show you.

You need to watch your footwork.

Aldertree threatened to de-rune
me if I tried to find Jace.

So, how do we get to him?

Let's go again.

Have you studied The Art of War?

That was not on the reading
list at art school.

You should learn it. Sun Tzu
gives excellent advice.

Like what?

"Move swift as the Wind and
closely-formed as the Wood.

"Attack like Fire."

But my favorite...

"To know your enemy, you
must become your enemy."

I'm a quick study.

Alec.

Alec, slow down.

Where are you going?

Magnus'.

I couldn't just sit in
there and not do anything.

He'll help me find my brother.

Jace is not your brother.
He's not your blood.

He's closer than blood.
He's my parabatai.

Alec, we looked like fools
taking in Valentine's son,

caring for him like our own.

It was the right thing to do.

It was a mistake.

It put our family in danger.

You need to forget Jace.

He made his choice.

Do you even hear
what you're saying?

If you kill him, you
kill a part of me.

When you have a cancer, you cut
it out before it destroys you.

Son...

Life is full of hard choices.

Don't kid yourself.

You're not making a hard choice.

You're saving your own ass.

And unlike you, I don't
push someone away

just 'cause they're
a hard choice.

Luke!

I need your help.

What, we on a first name basis now?
Man, get off my docks.

Oh, God, sorry.

In order to know my enemy,
I had to become my enemy.

I had to get out
of the Institute.

- Aldertree forbid me to leave.
What's with that guy?

I took one of Jace's gloves

to try and track him,
but it's not working.

Can you see if the
police know anything?

Yeah, I'll contact the Coast Guard.
See what they know.

By the way, Simon's
in the supply room.

- Simon's here?
- Yeah.

- I'll let you know what I find.
- Thank you.

Yeah. Clary's safe.
She's with me.

I don't know how to do this.

I don't even know
where to start.

You think there'd be some sort of
handbook for the Shadow World, like...

Shadowhunting for Dummies.

Clary!

- Thank God I found you.
- Let me guess.

Luke called you.

And what are you
even doing here?

You're not supposed
to leave either.

I went to Aldertree and asked
him to let me bring you back.

You told him? I'm
not going back...

I know. I just said that
so he would let me out.

I want to help you.

I'm here for you.

We need to find Jace, right?

Let's find him together.

I tried tracking him
with the glove, but...

Let me show you something.

Give me your phone and stele.

Here are some basics
of Shadowhunting.

Mom!

Mom! Mom, open the door!

First rule of Shadowhunting, don't
give anyone your phone or stele.

Thanks.

Magnus.

I'm not good at apologies...

But I'm...

I'm sorry.

Continue.

I'm...

Really sorry.

For?

Look, can you just cut
that out for a second?

You were right.

When I called off my
wedding, that was for me.

But this is all just...

It's very new.

This may surprise you, but
you're new for me, too.

Look, with Jace missing,
it's just like...

The ground has shifted, and I
can't keep my balance. Just...

I didn't mean to
take it out on you.

I'm sorry.

You're forgiven.

Also...

You're great at apologies.

Thanks.

I've been working on it.

Here's the thing...

We're always going
to face challenges.

So, when things get crazy,

don't push me away.

Simon, your phone gets no
cell service down here.

That's okay. I think
I'm making progress.

Simon, just stop. Okay?

It's no use.

We're stuck down here.

I'm enjoying our together time.

Reminds me of 10th grade

when we snuck into my
mom's liquor cabinet.

Oh, God.

Oh, it was my first
wicked hangover.

This is worse.

Mmm...

- It... No, it's not.
- No...

- It's ridiculous.
- Oh...

How crazy our lives have
gotten in the last few weeks.

Yeah.

You kill demons now.

Yeah.

I drink blood now.

And it used to be that...

The biggest problem
we had was that...

I was secretly and totally...

- Here. Track my mom with your phone.
- Yeah.

We don't have much time.

Hey.

You did it.

Yay for me.

All right, Alec, ready
to track your parabatai?

I got them.

What just happened?

Did it start?

I don't need to.

I sense him. He's on land.

We're stopping for pizza?

Reggie served the best
pie in all of Brooklyn.

Note the past tense.

When Reggie's wife, Maria,
turned into a vampire,

she slaughtered Reggie and
created a den inside.

What does this have
to do with me?

You really think
love will keep you

from hurting your
family and friends?

No matter how hard you fight it,

demon blood will make you kill.

It starts in a small way.

Urges.

See, that's why you want Clary,

and that is why

you always will.

Everyone run.

Get out. Out, now.

Hey, out!

Hey!

Which one of you is Maria?

Who's asking?

Jace is back. Call off your men.

Izzy and I will bring
him back alive.

One step ahead of you.

We got a hit on the map.
We're mobilizing now.

You're not listening. Go
ahead and de-rune me.

We won't let you do this.

Hold them here
until we get back.

I'm sorry. I'll do what
I can to help Jace.

Pretty strong, even
for a Shadowhunter.

You're feeding on
innocent mundanes.

A girl's gotta eat.

- Your mom's close.
- Then run faster!

I'm a vampire. I'm
running slow for you.

You're done. You're done.

- You can't kill me.
- Watch me.

I surrender to the
authority of the Clave.

Aw, look at you.

You got your stick all ready to
go and now you can't use it.

No, you broke the Accords.

You killed innocent mundanes.
And now, you're gonna die

just like your friends.

But unlike them,

I'm no longer a threat.

I know my rights.

- Your rights?
- Yeah, my rights.

I might have broken the
Accords, but I know you won't.

You don't know
anything about me.

I know you're weak.

Mmm.

I can smell it.

And you'll do whatever the
Clave tells you to do.

- Now, get off of me.
- Jonathan.

Are you going to let her
mock you after what she did?

This thing in front of you...

She was once Reggie the pizza
guy's sweet and loving wife.

You leave my husband
out of this!

Whoa. You mean the
man you murdered?

You mean the man you devoured?

That's what you mean.

Ah, that's my boy.

No!

Run, Jonathan. They
want you dead.

Mom, stop!

What have you done?
