Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 14 - The Fair Folk - full transcript

Alec has big plans to mend fences with the Downworlders; Jace and Clary are summoned by the Seelie Queen.

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...

My parabatai.

Alec Lightwood,

You are now the new head
of the New York Institute.

A Shadowhunter has been
mutilated and killed.

It's not just a lone wolf,

it's multiple Downworlders.

This could be the
start of an uprising.

Don't think this means anything.

Kaelie did this.

She had everything.
Werewolf claws,

vampire fangs...

She used it to make it look
like a Downworld uprising.

The question is, why?



♪ We're coming ♪

♪ After you ♪

♪ This is the hunt ♪



♪ This is the hunt ♪





Bravo.

I had no idea I was in the
company of a virtuoso.

Yeah, right.

No, seriously, it's...

extraordinary.

I mean, I wish I could
play like that.

Where did you learn?
Who taught you?

Valentine,

if you can believe that.

Huh.

I guess even an evil mastermind
can appreciate fine music.

Yeah...

maybe a little too much.

Whenever I would make a mistake,

he'd break the offending finger,

then Iratze my hand and
have me start again.

Well, I, uh...

I'm surprised you still play.

Only when the mood strikes.

Is that why you're up so early?

Or, wait, did you
never go to sleep?

I just got back from
the Hunter's Moon.

Ah, I'm guessing you weren't
there for a pint, were you?

It's that bartender, isn't it?

The beautiful one.

It's nothing serious.

So, I thought you had
a thing for Clary.

Clary? Why would you say that?

Well, I mean, you know...

now that she's not your
sister, and she's...

she's beautiful and fiery and...

What is holding you back?

Well, she has a boyfriend.

She's moved on.

I've moved on.

It's ancient history.

Sorry to interrupt.

Alec is about to make
an announcement.

We've lost seven of our own,

but we can't allow a
single, radical Seelie

to define the entire Downworld,
any more than we can allow

Valentine to define
all Shadowhunters.

So, to restore unity
with our allies,

I will be hosting regular
Cabinet meetings here

with the Downworld
leaders of New York.

I'm all for unity. But does
he have to bring them here?

What do you expect?

He's dating a warlock.

Still can't believe Alec
Lightwood is in charge.

Just wait.

In a week, it'll
be someone else.

Hey. Show some respect.

Please, let's make the
Downworlders feel welcome.

Look at you.

In charge for a week, you're
already shaking things up.

I think this Cabinet
thing is a good idea.

Yeah, I'm not sure
everyone agrees.

All the more reason to do it.

How can I help?

Actually, I need you and
Jace for a mission.

You're going to
the Seelie Court.

Where is that?

The nearest entrance
is in Central Park.

But it's in another realm.

Where the Seelie Queen lives.

I requested an audience with her
to discuss Kaelie's crimes.

But she said she'll only meet
with Valentine's experiments.

Wow. Charming nickname.

So, you think the Seelie Queen

is responsible for
Kaelie's attacks?

That's what I want
you to find out.

It would make sense.

Those murders weren't
exactly Kaelie's style.

How did you know Kaelie?

Book Club.

You read?

Yeah. Why does everyone find
that so hard to believe?

Look. Focus.

We need to find out
if she's complicit,

An entire faction could
be turning against us.

That shouldn't be
too hard, right?

Seelies can't lie.

Technically yes, but...

after hundreds of
years of practice,

they can expertly
manipulate the truth,

and the Queen is the master.

She's very dangerous.

The entire realm is.

More than one Shadowhunter
hasn't made it back.

What could go wrong?

But we're, uh... Valentine's
experiments, right?

Don't mess with us.

You're the only one
who hasn't agreed

to join the Cabinet.

Why should I?

Well, you're the most respected
pack leader in New York.

And as a former Shadowhunter,

you understand what's at
stake for both sides.

Yeah,

that's exactly why I can
see this for what it is...

an empty gesture.

Look, after all the Downworld
has been through, Alec,

we need change.

Real change.

I couldn't agree more.

Then prove it.

Destroy the Soul Sword.

You know that the Clave

will never destroy a
Mortal Instrument.

Then Valentine needs to die.

You're right.

I promise I will do
everything I can

to push for Valentine's
execution with the Clave.

But this isn't just
about Valentine.

It's about improving
Shadow World relations,

and that's what this
Cabinet can do...

but not without you.

Just be prepared,

'cause Jace is not going
to be happy you're here.

When is he ever happy to see me?

Well, that's true, but...

What is he doing here?

Well hello to you.

I'm joining the mission.

No, you're not.

You weren't invited.

I already told him that.

But then I pointed out that you
can never have too much backup.

You've seen my fighting
skills firsthand.

There will be no fighting.

If you hurt anyone in
the Queen's realm,

she has every right to hurt you.

This is a sensitive
political mission.

It takes a certain charm.

Well, I'll have you know,

I was voted vice president
in eighth grade.

And you do not win an
election without charm.

So...

Simon, this isn't middle school.

This is life or death.

Have you been to middle school?

Look,

Seelies have the
beauty of angels,

and the viciousness of demons,

and those opposing qualities
makes them unpredictable.

A vampire or a werewolf, they
prefer to attack you head on,

but Seelies, they
want to trick you

into your own self-destruction.

I mean, that's a little
dramatic, don't you think?

I mean, aren't Seelies like...

woodland hippies who
eat berries and ants?

I thought the same about Kaelie.

And who saved Clary from her?

Jace, you're not gonna get
him to change his mind.

We have to go. Where
is the entrance?

There.

The Seelie Court is in a creek?

Not in it...

through it.

Last chance to turn back.

Wherever you go I go, Fray.

Whoa...

After you, Mr. Vice President.



So it's important that these
meetings might go smooth.

It will.

I'll be by your side
the whole time.

Actually, I'd...

rather you not.

Have I done something wrong?

No, not at all.

It's just, I don't
want to be accused

of any kind of...

warlock favoritism.

I see.

Perhaps another warlock
should go instead.

No, I... I need you
there, Magnus,

but as a warlock representative,

not as my boyfriend.

Is that OK?

Of course.

It's best that we keep

our personal and
professional lives separate.

Thank you.

Mom. What are you doing here?

I wanted to congratulate
you on the promotion.

I'm so pleased to see the
Lightwoods back in command.

I always knew this
was your destiny.

When you were little,

I'd find you in here,

sitting behind your
father's desk,

writing out your own
memos in crayon.

Well...

here you are.

Your father and I
couldn't be prouder.

Speaking of Dad...

what's the latest?

Are you leaving him?

It's complicated, Alec.

It's not.

He cheated on you.

And it's over between us.

But...

we can't let our
marital problems

undermine our political careers.

The last thing we want is to
tarnish the Lightwood name.

It's been through a lot worse.

Look, I haven't told Izzy yet...

but you know how
fast gossip spreads.

She shouldn't hear
about it second-hand.

You know, for a
dangerous mission,

the Seelie Court's...
pretty romantic.

It's like being dropped
inside a fairy tale.

Which makes sense.

Faeries do live here.

Is that blood?

Simon, get away from the tree!

Get away from the tree!

What the hell are you doing?

Saving you. As usual.

From a tree?

That is called a kill tree.

It would have wrapped
its vines around you

and torn you limb from limb.

Jace, what the hell are
you talking about?

That tree almost tore
Simon's pretty face off.

You think I'm pretty?

Look, in the Seelie realm,

it's not just the creatures that
are deadly. It's everything.

If you want to survive,

don't touch, eat,
or smell anything.

No matter how small.

♪ Is this hope, laying low ♪

♪ Don't let the pain show ♪

♪ It's the faraway light ♪

♪ In the quiet of the night ♪

Blowing off some steam?

My mom's in town.

Is that really such a bad thing?

She doesn't know
about the yin fen.

I don't know how she'll react.

You know, it's... possible
that she might understand.

You don't know my mom.

She expects nothing
less than perfection.

Always.

Sometimes I wonder if I
could ever live up to it.

You know, maybe
that's the attitude

that got you hooked
in the first place?

I don't want to disappoint her.

Izzy, it's...

it's OK to struggle.

Life is a struggle.

The point is that you are

in recovery,

and you are succeeding.

Quite well, I might add.

I'm not so sure.

I am.



I hear you want Valentine dead.

I can get you in and out of
his cell undetected, tonight.

Who is this?

My anonymity is for your
protection as well as mine.

If you have access to Valentine,

why not kill him yourself?

I'm no match against Valentine.

But as his former
parabatai, you are.

Luke?

Ollie!

What are you doing here?

I needed your help with
something for work.

What is this place?

A drug den?

It's a Chinese restaurant.

Looks like a drug den.

Ollie, is this an emergency?

Not exactly.

I'm having trouble with
some of my paperwork.

Look, I can't help you tonight.
I'm busy.

Busy eating alone?

I... have a date!

A date?

Yeah. Fantastic!

Good for you. Are you...
taking her here?

Uh...

No. Not anymore.

She's allergic to M.S.G.

Look, first thing tomorrow,
I'll help you out.

I gotta go. OK?

OK. Use protection!

And I don't mean your gun.





It's so beautiful.

Don't let it blind you.

Let's go.



Welcome.

Welcome.

Jace, my stele. Our weapons.

Yeah.

You'll get them back when
you leave the Court.

Your majesty.

What a rare honour.

Wait, that's the Queen?

Why is the vampire here?

He was not invited.

He's with me.

My lady, Simon has
proven himself

a worthy warrior and
a loyal friend.

We insisted he be here with us.

Anything you have to say
to us, you can say to him.

Very well.

The vampire can stay.

You are as generous
as you are lovely.



Set an extra place at the table

for our third guest.

This is going to be fun.

We're OK...

Right this way, please.

I must say,

when I received your
invitation I was skeptical.

I still am.

Though your sister's presence
is always heartening.

As is yours, Meliorn.

Well, tonight,

I hope to erase that skepticism.

Raphael...

I wasn't sure I'd see you here.

Alec is the new head
of the Institute,

and he wanted me here to make
the Downworlders feel welcome.

Seems like such a
waste of my skills.

No, I disagree.

I feel very welcome.

I'm glad you're here.

Me too.

Lovely to see you, Mr.
Lightwood.

And you, Mr. Bane.

Thank you for taking the time.

I wouldn't miss it.

I have tremendous respect for
the new Head of the Institute.

You won't regret this.

I hope not.

Lucian.

I just wanted to say, I am
so sorry about Jocelyn.

I feel terrible that I couldn't
be at her Rite of Mourning.

I couldn't either.

The Clave banned all
Downworlders from attending.

It's nice to see you, Maryse.

You look great.

How's Max?

Alive, thanks to us.

And more eager to
train than ever.

That's putting it lightly.

The little devil judo-flipped
me to the floor.

And you are?

Sebastian Verlac.

I'm working security tonight
at the Cabinet meeting.

Sebastian's a transfer
from the London Institute.

He's been helping me tutor Max.

And how do you know Isabelle?

Raphael is the leader

of the Brooklyn clan.

Our paths cross occasionally.

For work.

Speaking of work,

I should probably
join the group.

It's nice to meet
you, Sebastian.

Pleasure.



I thought you said
she was ancient.

She hasn't even hit puberty.

She is ancient.

She uses Seelie magic
to manipulate her age.

Genius!

She tries to seem all innocent
and cute, but really she's...

Hungry?

That's very kind, but we really
should discuss business.

Business is boring.

That's why I sent a proxy

to your Downworlder
Cabinet Meeting.

I'd like to know more about
Valentine's children.

Child, actually.
I'm the only one.

Are you sure?

I'm not Valentine's son.

Yet, the same blood runs
through both your veins.

The blood of the angel.

Please, show me what it can do.

Don't be shy.

We're still learning
how it works.

Are you?

And you, vampire.

Are you still learning
to walk in the sun?

Wow, word travels
fast down here.

It does.

I hear whispers from the
birds, the bees and the bugs.

They're all in my service.

So was Kaelie.

Were you surprised to hear

one of your knights was
killing Shadowhunters?

Were you?

Kaelie was your lover.

Book club, huh?

I was surprised.

Kaelie didn't seem capable
of such brutality.

Precisely why she made
an effective killer.

The sweeter the honey,
the deadlier the trap.

Did Kaelie kill on her own,

or was she working
with someone else?

Another knight helped.

But I took care of him.

By "took care of," you mean...

Dead, dead, dead.

I'd like a moment alone
with the Daylighter.

- Alone?
- With Simon?

My lady, perhaps you
could discuss here.

We prefer not to be separated.

Don't worry.

I'll bring him back with
all his limbs attached.

OK.

It's OK, Clary. I'll be fine.

So, what does this Downworld
Cabinet even mean?

It means creating
total transparency

about all Shadowhunter decisions

that involve the Downworld.

The goal is to have
weekly meetings here

to discuss any updates,
questions, concerns.

Well, I applaud Mr. Lightwood

for his progressive thinking.

Because you're totally unbiased.

Alec, you're not the first

to attempt something like this,

but it never works out

because the Clave is not
willing to compromise.

But I am.

In time, we will be able
to reason with the Clave.

I'm sure of it.

And what about Valentine?

Can this cabinet appeal
for his execution?

If this is going to work,

we can't start with
the impossible.

Well that's kind
of hard to believe

considering the man that
massacred our people

is sitting in a cell
beneath our feet.

Luke, I know you're upset,

but we have to be
diplomatic about this.

Diplomacy gets us nowhere.

Nothing has changed in 20 years.

The werewolves aren't the only
ones with their vendetta.

Everyone has a reason
to want Valentine dead.

I more than anyone.

And why is that?

You said total transparency.

You remember Azazel?

Before we sent him back to Hell,

he used... demonic magic

to put Valentine's
mind in my body.

So Valentine was walking freely,

wearing your face?

Yes, but not for long.

He's now back in his cell,

for good.

This is what I'm talking about.

The Clave has to
know about this.

If Valentine was able to escape,

they have to execute him.

The Clave already knows.

It won't change their minds.

What other options do we have?

I need to talk to my pack.

Excuse me while I
make a phone call.

Let's take a recess.

So, have you
reconsidered my offer?

I'm in.

I've never met anyone like you.

And I've been alive for
a very, very long time.

So you're not mad that I'm here?

On the contrary.

I was hoping your friends would
invite you along tonight.

The Daylighter rock star.

It certainly is a niche.

I've mentored some of the
greatest Seelie musicians.

Ever heard of Sia? Or... Bjork?

Huh.

I can help you too.

You can visit my Court any time.

Play your music as my nymphs
tend to your every need.

Why would you do that for me?

Because I want to be friends.

Allies.

I feel darker times
are coming, Simon,

and my feelings
are rarely wrong.

Oh, can I call you Simon?

Uh, yeah. Yeah. Go for it.

You and I may need
each other, Simon.

We cannot trust the
Shadowhunters.

You mean the Circle.

You're still so young.

Shadowhunters are all alike.

Their mortality makes them
fickle, selfish, weak.

In the end, they always
choose their own kind.

And so must we.

I can't speak for
all Shadowhunters,

but I know Clary's
nothing like that.

She would never turn on me.

This is about more than Clary.

This is about the fate
of the Downworld.

There's a reason why

my people have survived longer

than any other creature
on this Earth.

We know when to choose
the winning side.

Well, I'm sorry.

You've got the wrong guy.

No I don't.

I want to be friends, Simon.

And I'm willing to wait.

I'm a very patient woman.

If we can look at it
tomorrow, and um...

I don't like that guy.

Who, Jace?

That's not Jace.

All Shadowhunters
look the same to me.

Except Isabelle, of course.

You still care for
her, don't you?

So, What are your
intentions with Isabelle?

I'm sorry. Are you serious?

When it comes to her, always.

My only intention is
to be her friend.

I don't believe you.

I see the way you look at her.

The way you follow
at a distance...

like a predator.

That is rich, coming from the
guy who used to feed on her.

See, I always knew she was
going to a vampire for venom,

but it doesn't take a genius

to see that you are
still addicted to her.

I care about her.

Oh, you care about her. OK.

If that is true,

then you need to stay
the hell away from her.

You are a reminder

of the darkest
moments of her life.

A constant temptation.

You are bad for her, Raphael.



Inside the bottom drawer,

you'll find a dagger

and the code to
Valentine's cell.

How much time will I have
once I'm down there?

Three minutes.

Then the cameras turn back
on and the guard returns.

I'm gonna need five, not three.

And turning off the cameras
is too suspicious.

The feeds need to be looped.

Those are my
conditions or I walk.

Your five minutes start now.

Lucian?

Where are you going?

Just needed to clear my head.

I know you have your doubts,

but I'm so glad you've decided

to go ahead with it all.

For Clary, your pack...

and Jocelyn.

What are you talking about?

The Downworld Cabinet.
Alec would hate

that I'm saying
anything about it.

He doesn't want me involved,

but it is a wonderful idea

and I... just hope
you won't hold

his last name against him.

I won't. Now if that's all...

Um, Lucian...

lately, I have been
trying to reconnect

with the people I've hurt,

and you are one of those people.

We were good friends,
back in Idris,

and then... I
turned against you,

like everyone else,

and I am so sorry.

Maryse, I can't do
this right now.

We should never have
let Simon come.

He didn't exactly
give us a choice.

And you know, you can't
really blame him.

If I were him, I'd never
leave your side either.

Is everything OK?

Great! We need to go right now.

Hey! Hey! Wait!

Your majesty,

with your permission,
we should get going.

But you've only just arrived.

It's futile to struggle.

Vitis veritas.

Enchanted vines
that only obey me.

What are you doing? Let them go!

But they killed
several of my kind.

What? We didn't kill anyone!

She can't lie.

Your majesty, you
must be mistaken.

I told you,

the birds, bees, bugs,
they're all in my service.

The gnats at the kill tree.

What, that... that bug I killed?

But that can't seriously mean...

Their deaths require justice.

Unless, of course, you'd
rather play a game.

- What kind of game?
- A game sounds better.

It's simple, really.

All I ask is a kiss.

You want one of us to kiss you?

The game isn't for me.

It's for you, Clary.

The kiss that will set them free

is the kiss you most desire.

I suggest you move quickly.

Once the vines
reach their necks,

the boys will be
dead, dead, dead.

Jace was wrong.

This is exactly
like middle school.

Clary, just kiss me
so we can go home.

Why are the vines still here?

Why do you think?

I did what you asked.

♪ I don't wanna leave ♪

Clary?

You can fool yourself, but
not the vitis veritas.

I told you, Daylighter.

They always choose
their own kind.

Why the hell would you do that?

It's our lives, not some game!

Best to be completely honest,

don't you think?

There's nothing
honest about that.

Your highness,

are we free to go?

Oh yes.

It seems one of you already has.

Simon...

How's the meeting going?

Having its ups and downs.

Are you OK?

Isabelle, you need
to know something.

Robert had an affair.

So he finally told you.

I overheard one of his
phone conversations.

I wanted to tell you badly,

but I figured it wasn't
my secret to tell.

I didn't even tell Alec.

Oh Isabelle. You poor thing.

Leave him.

Max is with us now.

Mom, you deserve to be happy.

So do you.

Despite this,
despite everything,

I hope you don't
give up on love.

I hope you fight for it,

like your brother.

I'm so relieved this is all out.

From now on, no more secrets.

After that demon attack
in the Institute,

the pain in my
shoulder was so bad.

Healing runes weren't enough.

I wasn't able to fight the same.

So I started using yin fen.

By the Angel...

I didn't do it for long.

Just long enough to
know I had to stop.

With some help, I got
through withdrawal

and I'm in recovery now.

I'm gonna be OK.

I am so sorry.

This is all my fault.

No, Mama. It's mine.

I've been so hard on you.

Put so much pressure.

Of course you
needed a release...

Sometimes our angelic duty

seems to... overshadow
everything else.

We forget we're human, too.

Let me guess.

You wanna know where the Cup is.

I don't give a damn
about the Cup.

You took my sister,

and you killed Jocelyn.

I understand your concerns.

When Luke gets back,

we can discuss

a neutral location for meetings.

Might I speak to
you for a moment?

Excuse me.

What's going on?

I saw Lucian Graymark

heading to the Annex

a few minutes ago.

Now I know there's
a secondary door

to the sub-cells through there,

so I checked the security feeds.

Luke disappears
between the cameras.

Someone's looping the footage?

Yeah.

You're going to kill me like
the feral animal that you are?

No.

I'm gonna kill you like a man.

I'm gonna start a little fight.

Ah!



You don't get to die today.

Do I know you?

Why would you try
and kill Valentine?

Well, he escaped once.
He can do it again.

And if your plan failed,

it would have endangered
everyone in this Institute.

The security logs have
been wiped clean.

There's no data on whose
clearance was used

to unlock the Annex door.

You really have no idea

who this mystery accomplice was?

No.

They used a burner phone

and a voice modulator.

No discernible speech pattern.

Hell, I can't even
give you a gender.

But they had to be
inside the Institute

in order to loop the
cameras, right?

Everyone in this Institute has
been affected by Valentine.

It could be anyone.

We have nothing.

Well, you got me.

The Clave would love
to put me behind bars.

And they'd be right to.

What you did tonight
was reckless.

Innocent personnel
could've been hurt.

You deserve to be in prison.

But...

Consider this your get
out of jail free card.

Why is that?

Because I'm trying to
prove to the Downworld

that we don't see
them as an enemy...

and arresting you would
prove the opposite.

Look, so what do we
do about the mole?

We track him down.

One thing's for sure...

Valentine's not safe here.

Raphael!

The meeting's over. I
have to talk to my clan.

I just need to say
something first.

We've been through a lot
together, haven't we?

And we keep coming
back to each other,

Because of this amazing
connection we have.

I want to fight for it.

♪ Take it in ♪



I can't, Isabelle.



Why not?

If this is about sex,

I don't care about that.

I care about you.

It's not about that.



Our whole relationship was
built on our addiction.

What if that's what's
drawing us together?

And what if it isn't?

my fangs in your arm?



All it takes is one
moment of weakness,

and we'll be back there.



I'm bad for you, Isabelle.



♪ I feel it coming ♪



♪ Hold your breath ♪



♪ Don't let go ♪



♪ I feel it coming ♪

Simon, let me in!

♪ Hold your breath ♪

What happened, it was...
it was a trick.

It meant nothing.

♪ Don't let go ♪



I want to be with you.

♪ I feel it coming ♪

Hey!

We need to talk about this, OK?
Please! I...



♪ I feel it coming ♪

I'm so sorry.

So the Seelie Queen
didn't help Kaelie,

it was actually a Seelie Knight,

who is now dead.

Yeah. The Queen's hands

are technically
clean in this one.

I think there's more to it.

Well, what makes you say that?

I don't know.

Call it a gut feeling.

OK.

Well, I'll have the Clave

keep a closer eye
on the Seelies.

Right.

Are you alright?

You seem... distracted.

No. I'm, uh... I'm fine.

Clary.

Hey.

Look, we should talk.

About what just happened.

I can't.







Clary, I just had the worst...

Oh...



- Hi.
- Latte for the lady.

- Hi.
- Hey.

What're you looking at?

Uh, there.

In the shadow.

Am I crazy, Sam, or is that...

A wolf?

Yeah!













Look at all this
mess you've made.

Keep quiet...

or I will have to
punish you again.

And you wouldn't like that.
