Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 11 - Mea Maxima Culpa - full transcript

The downworlders retaliate after Valentine's attacks. The New York institute deals with the repercussions Valentine caused. New faces immerge from the shadows to help the Shadowhunters.

My name is Clary and
I'm a Shadowhunter,

born to protect
mankind from demons.

A never-ending
battle against evil,

but I know who I can count on.

Simon, my oldest friend.
A vampire.

Magnus, a warlock from Brooklyn.

Luke, a werewolf pack leader
and New York City cop,

and Jace, Izzy and Alec,

three of the bravest
Shadowhunters alive.

Alone, we're strong.

Together, we are unstoppable.



Previously on Shadowhunters...

Valentine wants to
use the soul sword

to decimate the entire
Downworld, and he needs

Clary to activate it.

I'm losing my patience.

- Simon, drink.
- Stop them!

If Jace touches the sword,

his grip would destroy it.

Jace's plan is gonna work.

Let's move!

Jace! It'll kill you!

He activated it.

You didn't inject me with demon
blood, it was angel blood!

You are not my son. Clary
is not your sister.



Jace, don't.

The mortal cup is still

still out there. He's the only
one who knows where it is.

♪ After you ♪

♪ This is the hunt ♪

♪ This is the hunt ♪

You're hurting.

You didn't even touch me.

I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about
the Downworlders.

Jace, you didn't know.

Wasn't your fault.

I never said it was.

Come on, you got another round
in you or Startin' to get tired?

So what does this pure angel
blood do for you anyway?

I don't know, other than
the ability to activate

that sword. Maybe that's
all it's good for.

Clary's got the ability
to draw new runes,

so you must be able to
do something special.

You mean, other
than kick your ass?

♪ Watch this ♪

Wanna go hand-to-hand?

Oh, I thought you'd never ask.

♪ Watch this ♪

So you gonna tell Clary?

Tell her what?

She's not your sister.

Ah! Ah!

- You're the only person I've told.
- You know,

She's lost so much. She's got a
good thing going with Simon.

You know I wouldn't
wanna ruin that.

You think you're so
irresistible she's gonna

dump him as soon as she finds
out you're not related.

I think you should worry a little
less about my love life...

and a little more about
your fighting skills.

I don't think the sun has
ever felt this good.

Yeah.

Hey. Look at us.

On our favourite
bench, in the day.

We're like a normal couple!

It's funny how normal

doesn't even feel
normal anymore.

I'm not even a normal vampire.
I'm a freak of vamp nature.

You are not a freak.

You're unique.

Special. Sexy.

Don't you think there has to
be some sort of downside?

We've already seen
the downside, Simon.

It's... it's time to start
focussing on the upside.

My Bubbie Helen always
says there are no

handouts in life, that
everything comes with a price.

Well, that is not
necessarily true.

What if I'm walking to the
subway and then next thing

I know, I'm a scorch
mark on 9th Avenue...

Well, let's not think
about that, OK?

Look, we've... we've
been through so much.

Lost... so much.

But now... we have each other.

And it's good.

It's really, really good.

Mmhmm.

So... enjoy it.

OK.

I will. Starting right now.

Thank you.

Clary.

Sorry. What are you doing here?

Is... is everything OK?

Inquisitor Herondale just
arrived at the Institute.

She wants to speak with us. Now.

Let me get my stuff.

Jace, there's something
I wanted to tell you.

No matter what, your
secret's safe with me.

What secret?

You know, how your
pure angelic blood

somehow made me
immune to the sun.

You don't know that's
what happened.

What else could it be?

My point is, if any
vampire were to find out,

there'd be a bullseye
on your carotid artery.

You have nothing to worry about.
I got your back.

Get in here.

Stop it.

- I just...
- No.

Never. Clary, you ready?

Yeah.

- I'll call you tonight?
- Yeah.

I could keep going,

or you could tell me where
you hid the Mortal Cup.

Now where's the
fun in that, huh?

You know, this quest
of yours to collect

the three Mortal Instruments
to raise the angel Raziel...

it was a fool's errand.

A fool doesn't demand
this kind of attention,

now would he?

No one's ever seen
the Mortal Mirror.

We have no idea if
it even exists.

The Clave has no idea

about a multitude of things.

Well, this much is certain.

At this point, your only
way to avoid execution

is hand over the Cup.

Actually, it's quite the opposite.
See, knowing

where the Mortal Cup is...

that's the only thing
that's keeping me alive.

Valentine, you and I both know,

the cup can control demons.

In the wrong hands, it
could be catastrophic.

In your hands,

I'm a dead man.

19 Shadowhunters died

in your assault on
this institute,

along with hundreds
of Downworlders

that you massacred
with the Soul Sword.

Justice will be served.

Make it stop!

Stop!

How long can you
keep torturing him?

As long as it takes.

If you want the truth, why
not just use the soul sword?

You're telling me
how to do my job?

No, but you said you
retrieved the sword right

after the attack. I just don't
understand why you wouldn't...

The rune your sister
drew to deactivate

the sword ended up damaging
it in the process.

It's been sent to the Iron
Sisters to be purified.

You're Valentine's children.

Tell me what you know.

Nothing. Haven't we
proven ourselves?

Valentine attacked the Institute.
We captured him.

At what cost? By taking matters

into your own hands, you've
planted the seeds of rebellion

in the Downworld.
The Accords will be

near impossible to maintain now.

Fall in line, or you'll end up

like Aldertree and Idris
facing reprimand.

Evening, gentlemen.

I'll have a scotch.

Neat. And the
Mortal Cup, please.

What did you just say?

Don't.

I know you're part of
Herondale's security detail.

I also know that you've
captured Valentine, which means

you have the Cup, or
you know where it is.

I'd like you to tell me.

Nobody knows. Valentine
won't tell anyone.

Pity.

Hey, are you OK?

What the Hell. Let's
make it a party.

Mm.

See you in Hell.

Ladies.

Izzy, tell me what to
do and I can do it.

Whatever you need.

I'm OK...

I just need to sweat it out.

Izzy. Izzy...

Stop! It burns!

No one knows, right?

No.

Nobody. They all think
you have the flu.

What is it?

There was a demon attack.

They need me.

Alec, you have to call...

No. Izzy, I'm not going to

leave you like this.

Alec, go.

I'm gonna be fine.

I promise.

Your sister...

Your brother and my
friend are family.

We can't replace them. But if we

don't move forward
because of them...

It's getting pretty
heated out there.

They just need to
blow off some steam.

They're losing faith in you, Luke.
They think

you brought us into a battle
you knew we couldn't win.

Is that what you think?

No. They're scared,

and so am I. I mean,

Russell's out there talking
about hunting mundanes.

Saying that's the only way
we can rebuild the pack.

Turning innocent humans?

As a family, then we will
fade out of existence!

I mean, come on, does anybody
else have any better ideas?

Hey! Nobody's turning anybody.

Says the alpha who killed
three quarters of the pack.

Luke didn't kill anybody,

and we can't just go
around hunting mundanes.

Why not? You think they'd
hesitate to attack us

if the tables were turned? Huh?

Alright. That's enough.

That's right. It
is enough, Luke...

because I challenge you.
Right here, right now.

Russell, you need to relax.

He is not fit to be our alpha.
Not anymore.

Come on, let's go!

We've all had a rough time,

so I'm giving you a
chance to reconsider,

because I've seen way
too many wolves die

to stomach seeing another.

Detective Garroway.

Yeah.

Secure the crime scene.
I'll be right there.

What's this sand on the floor?

This looks like a demon attack.

I've never seen a demon cause
this kind of hemorrhaging.

Is there any security footage?

Nothing in the bar. Maybe

CCTV caught something
outside on the street.

We should get them
back to the Institute.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

Detective Garroway?

Who are you talking to?

Just dictating some notes
while they're still fresh.

Something you
should start doing.

That's a great idea! They
didn't mention it in training,

but it makes perfect sense.

Is there some special
app for that?

Uh... can you pull the car up?

- I'll meet you out front.
- OK.

New partner?

She's driving me crazy.

Raphael.

Isabelle...

What are you doing here?

Uh... I w... I
wanted to apologize.

It was a terrible night and
I took my anger out on you.

You were only trying
to save your people.

It's not safe for a Shadowhunter

to be at the DuMort right now.

Especially one looking
for vampire venom.

Raphael, I think...
if I can have

a small bite, over time I
can have less and less.

It doesn't work like that.

Why not?

Well... we can manage it...

together.

You really should go.

Wait. OK.

What... what do
you want from me?

I'll... I'll... I'll... I'll...
I'll give you anything you wa...

I want you... to leave.

I'm just asking for
a little taste.

You know you want it.

I'm not doing this, Isabelle.

Seriously? This is
how you treat me

when I need you the most?
I thought you

cared about me Raphael
but I guess I was wrong.

It's because I care.

I should have never
given you a taste.

Oh, Isabelle.

Just got off the
phone with Luke.

He made it look like
a tragic gas leak.

According to the
autopsy, the victims

died of massive
brain hemorrhaging.

- A demon can do that?
- A Greater Demon can.

Wh... what exactly
is the difference?

Lesser Demons are a dime a dozen

in New York. Greater Demons
are a whole different story.

They have names, personalities.

They're much more powerful
and they're harder to stop.

They're also incredibly rare.

When they do show their
face, there's a reason.

Jace, are you OK?

Yeah, why wouldn't I be?

Well, you've barely spoken about

what happened with
the Soul Sword.

Yeah, well,

there's not much to talk about.

OK, but if you do
feel like talking,

I'm here for you. I'm
your sister, Jace.

I know what you're
going through.

Like I said, there's
nothing to talk about.

Open up!

I know there are vampires here!

Open up! Please.

I can smell your
weakness a realm away.

What do you want from me?

The Mortal Cup, please.

Hey! Let the girl go!

Hey!

You OK?

Who are you?

I'm a Shadowhunter.

My name's Sebastian.

You're not showing up? Come on,
Maureen, I said I was sorry.

Yeah, I... I know I should have called.
I know I should have called.

Just... look, it's been a
really hard time for me lately.

OK, whoa! Whoa, that was blunt.

Uh, can I at least
keep the band name?

Rock Solid Panda? Hello?
Maureen? Hello?

I didn't think I'd see you here.

Yeah. I was um...
meeting someone,

but I should... I should go.

Whoa, hey!

Daylight! I mean, I know

You're upset at me for attacking
Clary, but barbecuing

yourself to avoid me
seems like a bit much.

Come on, I don't
hate you that much.

Just... don't try that again.

How did you get in here anyway?

I drove.

Outside? In the sun?

How? What did
Valentine do to you?

OK, so he slashed
my throat open,

like completely.
And then he used

this nuclearized
sword, like swiped it,

and next thing I know...

the sun doesn't fry me anymore.

That's it? Just like that?

Yeah. Crazy, right?

Simon, that's amazing!

Don't you realize you have
what every Downworlder wants?

A winning personality!
You noticed!

The chance at living
a normal life.

Simon, you hit the jackpot!

I never hit the jackpot!

Um, I would... be careful.

But like, isn't the
whole point of this now

that I don't have to
be careful anymore?

I mean,

yeah. Sure,

but you don't need to flaunt
it in people's faces.

No-one likes a show off.

Especially Downworlders.

If I were you, I would try
and keep a low profile.

To the new you. Gratis.

May I fly forever
under the radar.

♪ 'Cause we are meant to be ♪

Hey!

You must be reading my mind.

I was just about to call you.

There's a Greater
Demon on the loose.

And we need your help. It's been
leaving this on its victims.

Oh, dear. This sand,
it's from Duduael.

Which is a... dimension of Hell?

The worst dimension. Did you
find this on their face?

- Mmhmm.
- How did he get loose?

He's been shackled
for centuries.

- Who, Magnus?
- The demon

who taught man the
weapons of war.

A Greater Demon, Azazel, one
of the princes of Hell.

Right. A real prince.

Why is it so dark in here?

Hello, Alec.

What is he doing here?

Raphael has something
important to tell you.

Nothing he says matters to me.

Your sister's in trouble.

You're damn right she is.

She's suffering withdrawal back
at the Institute because of you!

She just came by the DuMort,
begging for a bite.

What?

I didn't touch her.
You have my word.

But there are plenty of vampires
more than eager to take a bite.

I never should have
left her alone.

It's not your fault.

Don't worry. We'll find her.

Here's the address
to the closest den.

There's a good
chance she's there.

Let's go.

Azazel did this.

Izzy's necklace.

It's broken.

Where is she?

I thought Izzy had the flu! Why
would she leave the institute?

I don't know, but
if he's hurt her...

She could have escaped. We
don't even know if he has her.

She hasn't called, and
she's not answering

her phone. But
she's still alive.

I know it, it's just...

He's got her.

What does he want?

I don't know, but we should
inform the Inquisitor, OK?

But she's in a meeting
with the Alicante Council.

I don't understand.

Why Izzy?

What does a Greater
Demon want with her?

I'm not sure...

I think I know who we could ask.

I have no idea what
you're talking about...

but it's so nice to
see the both of you.

Azazel wouldn't leave
Duduael on his own.

Someone broke him out.

Someone with access
to the Mortal Cup.

Circle Members. They released

the Greater Demon to
break you out of here.

I thought I raised you
to have common sense.

If the Greater Demon wanted
to free me, how would I

still be here having this inane
conversation with you two?

I want to banish demon
filth from our realm.

If that's true, then tell
your followers to give back

the cup. We can force
Azazel to give us Izzy.

I don't know where
the Mortal Cup is.

If you're lying,
so help the Angel.

If you were smart, Jace,
you'd use me as bait.

The only way to control a Greater
Demon is with the Mortal Cup.

Azazel would do
anything to destroy it.

So summon him with
your warlock friend

and tell him I have the Cup.

Offer him a trade.
Me for Isabelle.

That could work.

Once we have Izzy,
I can take him out

with my sunlight rune.

This is a trap.
What could possibly

make you think that
we could trust him?

I'm not sure I would trust
me either if I were you, but

the longer Azazel has Isabelle,

the greater the chance she dies.

We don't have a choice, Jace.

This better not be a trap.
Your life is on the line too.

Clarissa...

I would never do anything to hurt you.
You're my daughter.

Why would that stop you?

Jace is your son,
you've hurt him plenty.

You didn't tell her.

Tell me what?

You must still have
feelings for her, huh?

And now isn't that a pickle?

Not another word.

What is he talking about?

You wanna do the
honours or shall I?

I said shut up!

It's rude to keep a
girl waiting, Jace.

Jace, what is going on?

Valentine's not my father.

I'm not your brother, Clary.

- Clary - How long
have you known?

- Just a few days.
- Why didn't you

say something?

You have a good thing

going on with Simon.
You're happy.

I wouldn't wanna ruin that.

Why would that ruin anything?

Jace, what else are
you hiding from me?

Nothing.

I swear.

Look, we need to be able
to trust each other.

And that means being
completely honest,

even if the truth hurts.

I get it.

Emotions serve a purpose.

You don't go through what
you just went through,

witnessing all that death and
not feel something, Jace!

It's not good for you!

Just feel something.

Whether you think it clouds
your judgment or not.

You know, jonesing for
venom isn't exactly

conducive to success
when battling demons.

- How did you know?
- The darting eyes.

The Grey complexion. That bloody
wrist tremor, that's the worst.

I've never seen you
at the Institute.

That's 'cause I'm not
from around here.

I'm from the London Institute.

Here.

One drop and you'll
feel like a new person.

What is it?

It's medicine.

See. It's from an extract

of a root found in L'Isle Adam.

It's a quaint little town.

Look, it'll help with the
pain of your venom addiction.

Speed up your recovery.

Come on.

Mmhmm.

Yeah, it's not a miracle drug.

It'll wear off soon
and you'll feel

like crap again,
but it does help.

So, why aren't you in London

with... your Institute?

I had to kick my
Yin Fen addiction,

and let's just say that
London wasn't the best place

to do that. So, I um...

I took matters
into my own hands.

I left.

And I found my way to New York.

You went AWOL?

- I - like to think of it more

like a walk about, but um...

the good news is,
I was successful.

You can be, too.

Thank you so much.

I should probably get going.

You walk out that door
and within an hour

you'll be back in a vampire
den, begging for a bite.

You need at least a day
to get enough venom

out of your system to be
able to handle yourself.

If you want to leave,
I won't stop you.

Well, I'll swing by the
pho place on my way home.

I know, I know. Not too spicy.

Will you stop? Stop! I'm at work.
Bye. Sorry.

My girlfriend Samantha. She was
supposed to grab dinner, but...

She... pho-got?

Oh my God. A joke.

So you are human after all.

Well, what about you?
You have someone?

Wife? Girlfriend? Boyfriend?

First rule of being my partner:
no personal questions.

You say that now, but I don't
think it's normal to sit

in a car with someone all day and not chat.
I mean, if we're

gonna be partners, we have
to get to know each other.

- We need to talk.
- Is that your girlfriend?

Cute. Young.

Hi! I'm Ollie. Luke's
pretty private

about his personal life,
but I'm glad he has one.

She's not my girlfriend.

Russell's gone. He
took all his stuff.

Good riddance. He was
bad for the pack.

He also took Reid,
Greg, and Segan.

They don't trust you. They're
headed down to Philly

to start their own pack. They
asked me to go with them.

Look, if you wanna
leave, by all means.

I'm not going anywhere, Luke.
But there's only a few

of us left. How's the
pack going to survive?

Look, I don't care if
it's just you and me,

we'll figure out a way.

But I won't let it come to that.

I've been out recruiting other
members from other packs.

Trust me.

Plenty of wolves want to
eat at the Jade Wolf.

No, they don't.

Yeah, right.

There you are.

Magnus is downstairs and the
Inquisitor's Council meeting

will be over in an hour.

We don't have much time.

Jace, you OK?

Mm! Oh my God, I haven't eaten
in days and this is amazing.

I ate at this café
in Paris, once.

And I watched this chef
make his Bouillabaisse.

And so the next time I
wanted soup, I copied him.

What do you mean,
you copied him?

I memorized everything he did.

And then I did it
myself and voilà!

Yeah.

Sometimes just...

knowing that someone else can do
something remarkable makes it

possible for you to do it too.

You need to call your Institute.

Let them know you're OK.

I know, but...

I've just let so
many people down,

especially my brother,

that I don't know if he's
gonna be able to forgive me.

Look, it might take some time,
but my guess is he will.

You don't know Alec. He's...
he's just like my mom.

Stubborn and strong-willed.

Yeah, I know all about stubborn

strong-willed mothers.

- Yeah?
- Mmhmm.

Is she in London?

No.

No, she, uh...

Well, she's gone now, so.

Oh. I'm sorry.

Oh, don't be. She was miserable.

Yeah.

In the end, I forgave her, but,

she loved me.

She just had a...

strange way of showing it.

Look, don't let
your brother worry.

Hey, Clary, it's me. Are
we still on for tonight?

'Cause I can't wait to tell you
about the day I had. Headlines...

I'm going back to NYU, majoring in...
wait for it...

Music!

Minoring in accounting for mom.
Everyone's happy.

Call me back. Bye.

Oh, G...!

You ever tried not
sneaking up on people?

I'm sorry, I didn't
want to interrupt.

You said you were having a...
day?

Yeah, you know... inside.

Really?

Because I heard a funny
rumor that you were

at the Hunter's Moon
this afternoon.

What?

Pfft. That's weird.
Who told you that?

Why are people talking about me?

Why are you panicking?

I'm not panicking.

It's true, isn't it?

You're a daylighter?

There's a name for it?

Yeah, in the legends.

I just never believed
that they could be real.

OK. Yes, I can walk in the sun,

but you don't need
to advertise that.

Not everyone needs to know.

How'd it happen?

Not sure, really. You know,

there's a lot of
carcinogens in here

that I could have been
exposed to, bugs...

Simon, I've been a
vampire for 60 years.

You've been one for
what, two weeks?

This isn't the sort of information
you should be hoarding for yourself.

Well, I swear Raphael.

Told you everything I know.

Yeah.

I hope so.

Is the courtyard glamoured?

No one can see us.

I don't know.

Still seems like a risk.

We have no choice.

This is the only
space big enough.

Security cameras in
the cell are down.

We've got a half hour until the
Inquisitor's done with her meeting.

Is Clary ready?

Let's do this.

I call upon the power
of the Pentagram.

Azazel, I summon thee.

From within our realm, into
this mystical confinement,

I summon thee.

You seek the Mortal Cup. We
seek the return of our friend.

For this exchange,

I summon thee.

Well...

if it isn't Magnus Bane.

Brave move.

Return Isabelle Lightwood...

and we'll hand over Valentine.

He can lead you to
the Mortal Cup.

Valentine Morgenstern.

The man who dares to dream big.

It is a tempting offer, but I
don't have your friend Isabelle.

He's lying.

I'm not so sure.

There's no time for debate.
The barrier's weakening.

We can still find Isabelle, but
we can't let Azazel get away.

Clary, now!

It's...

It's not working!

What are you talking about?

Nothing's happening!

You thought you
could contain me?!

Jace!

Ahh! Magnus! Stop him! Stop him.

Stupid warlock.

Now a present for you,
my dear Valentine.

Jace!

How did you do that?

I have no idea.

Doesn't matter. He got away.

Hey, are you OK?

Are you alright?

I... I think so.

OK.

Help me. Help me!

I'm fine.

Just a little tired.

Nothing a good night's
sleep won't fix.

I can come back home with
you, if you'd like...

No!

No.

It's OK.

I'll... call you tomorrow.

Izzy!

I'm OK.

Look...

I know I shouldn't
have snuck out.

It doesn't matter, you're...
You're alive.

Of course I'm alive.

No, there was a... a
greater demon attack.

- And I just...
- I'm so sorry.

I should have called you, but...

I figured you'd be so
angry with me, and...

Izzy, I'm not angry. I just...

I want you back home. Safe.

I'm safe. I promise.

And, um... in a good place.

I'm getting better but
I can't come home.

Not now.

If... it was something I said, I
just want you to know, just...

No. No,

it's not you.

You've been great.

This is just a battle I
need to fight on my own.

I love you, Alec.

I love you, too.

I'll be home soon.

Bye.

Uh...

I think the tea's ready.

Yeah, it is.

Do you want milk?

Honey?

You headed out?

Yeah, to Simon's.

I, uh... gotta get out
of here for a while.

OK. I'll catch you later.
