Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - Erchomai - full transcript

Simon makes a heartbreaking choice to protect his family. Magnus asks his father for help. The Shadowhunters prepare for a showdown with Lilith.

[Isabelle] Previously on Shadowhunters...

Jace is trapped in his own personal hell,
and I can't get him out.

I need you to kill me.

There's still a way for me
to obtain enough power to cure him.

-What is it?
-My father.

Asmodeus.

[Heidi] Any vampire will feed
if they're hungry enough,

and your son is starving.

-No, Simon!
-Simon!

Get away from her
or I swear to God I will kill you.

[Clary] Please, you have to destroy
Valentine's body.



What are you doing?

My Queen needs Valentine's flesh
and your heart.

For thousands of years,
I was unable to bear a child.

But then Valentine asked for my blood
for his unborn son.

He sent him to me.

Make it stop!

You made me this way!

Dad!

[screaming]

[panting]

My precious boy.

-[young Jonathan] Stay away from me.
-[Lilith] It's all right.

There's nothing to be afraid of. See?

I'm just like you.



Who are you?

I am your mother.

I'm so happy
your father finally sent you to me.

My mother hates me.
That's why she left us.

That woman who abandoned you,
Jocelyn Fairchild,

is not your true mother.

My blood is what made you so special,

so powerful.

And your father punished you for it,
but I won't.

Because I know what a gift you are
to this world.

I love you more than anything.

And I will never let
anything bad happen to you.

[screaming]

[shushes]

Mother loves you.

[screaming]

The heart is on its way, my child.

It is finally time.

Three-second head start
and you didn't try to run.

-I'm disappointed.
-What's the point?

-You'll just catch me again anyway, right?
-Let's go.

Did you kill Alec and Izzy? Did you?

Answer me.

[scoffs]

I don't take orders from you.

But you do from Lilith?

She is my Queen.

-Keep moving.
-[grunts]

You can run all you want.

It's only a matter of time before
the guards from the Clave get to us.

That's why I activated
your anti-tracking rune.

Let me talk to him, please.

Give him back to me. I...

I can't lose him again.

There is no version of this
where your Jace wakes up and comes home.

Jace, if you can hear me in there,
I will never give up on you.

[sighs] Never.

[gasps]

The life you knew is gone.

You belong to Lilith now.

[officer] Forgive me, ma'am,
if I misheard you,

but did you say that your daughter
was attacked by a vampire?

Yes, I did, and I know how that sounds.

But it's the truth.

Then these friends of his showed up
and helped him escape and--

Let's go find a coffee.

No, I need to stay with my daughter.

She's in good hands,
and fresh air will do you some good.

People are going to think she's insane.

-This isn't your fault.
-How is it not my fault?

I've ruined her life.

I'm sorry.

Can you, uh, ask your doctor boyfriend
to check in on Becky?

Uh, he never quite made it to boyfriend.

Oh.

I got tired of lying.

Mundanes and the Shadow World don't mix.

You're preaching to the choir.

Excuse me, miss.

Paramedics came in with Rebecca Lewis.
Where is she?

-Are you family?
-Yeah, she's my sister.

Thank you.

[Dwyer] Give me something.

Anything that makes sense
of why you were found on the street

with a crossbow and rappelling gear.

Last time I checked,
having a hobby wasn't a crime.

-No, but obstruction of justice is.
-Obstruction? How?

Hopefully, you're just covering
for your partner,

who may or may not have skipped town
after murdering her own mother.

Ollie is innocent.

If she's innocent, why are her prints
on the murder weapon?

Maybe you should ask yourself

why somebody would want
to frame her instead.

According to Internal Affairs,

that answer's staring me
in the face right now.

They're looking at you
for what happened to Wilson's mom

-and a few other deaths, too.
-Based on what evidence?

Other than what we just went over?

How about the disappearance
of your last partner?

Huh? Or my predecessor,
who died on the job

while you were investigating
the demonic murders.

I put that suspect in the morgue.

Then where's the body?

Or did your perp get up and walk away?

Take that up with the coroner.

Lieutenant, I'm sorry,
but my daughter needs me

-I gotta go.
-Oh, your daughter?

You mean the one
that vanished from existence?

[Alec] It's been hundreds of years
since you banished your father.

What makes you think
he'll even listen to your request?

Let's just say he owes me one.

For what happened with your mother?

That, and for everything
in the years that followed.

I was living on the streets.

I didn't know who or what I was.

Asmodeus took me in,

nurtured my darker impulses,

and taught me the proper way
to be a warlock.

And why'd you listen to him?

Because he was the only one in the world
with eyes like me.

He was my father.

At least give me the time
to call in backup from the Institute.

We don't even have Lilith under control.

If another Greater Demon gets loose,
it could put the whole city at risk.

Fortunately, for the good people
of New York,

my father won't be traveling topside.

-What aren't you telling me?
-[Magnus sighs]

This pentagram isn't
for summoning Asmodeus to Earth.

It's for sending someone to Edom.

In this case, me.

Absolutely not.

We need my father's help,
and cell service down there is terrible.

This isn't funny.

Would you prefer I act as terrified
as I feel right now?

This is insane.

Tell me Jace isn't worth it.

Let's get this over with.

You're gonna make it back.
You hear me?

Why wouldn't I?

Look what I have waiting for me.

[grunting]

I love you, Alexander.

I love you, too.

[grunting]

[screaming]

[screaming]

[panting]

[Jace] Come on.
It's not much farther now.

That's what you said ten blocks ago.

Get up.

Just give me a minute.

I haven't stopped moving
since Valentine's interrogation.

[grunts]

Stop moving.
You're going to need your stamina.

Let's go.

[gasps]

Becky. Hey, I'm here.

You okay?

Simon. [chuckles]

It's a hell of a hangover.

What happened?

[shuddering]

Did you do this to Mom, too?

No.

It didn't come to that.

I am so sorry.

I've read enough YA to know what happens.
So how long is it until I turn?

You won't. I promise.

You'd have to die with my blood in
your system, get buried and then,

um... feed as soon as you crawl out
of your own grave.

Oh, Simon.

You went through all of that alone?

You died?

Medically speaking, yeah.

[chuckles]

Well, I guess all of your sketchy behavior
makes more sense now.

How did I not know about this sooner?

You and Mom both did.

I had a vampire friend
hypnotize both of you to forget.

Oh.

Can you do that, too?

Yeah.

And I will totally do that for you, too.

No. [coughs]

No.

Simon, I wasn't there for you once.

And I will never not be there
for you again.

I'm your big sister,

and I'm always gonna love you.

Warts, fangs and all.

[sniffles]

[chuckles]

Oh.

Oh.

How did Mom take this?

She tried to kill me.

And now she's telling everybody
about what I really am.

What do we do about that?

[Asmodeus] Who dares enter the lair
of Asmodeus unannounced?

Be still, my beating heart.

Is that my beautiful boy?

Or do my eyes deceive me?

Hello, Father.

My son.

Magnus Bane,

High Warlock of Greenwich,

here in Edom.

Not that it matters anymore,
but I was the High Warlock of Brooklyn,

not Greenwich.

[chuckles] Well, you'll have to forgive me
for being out of touch.

It's not like you write or call,
or perform the occasional blood sacrifice.

Well, you'll have to forgive me,
considering how we left things.

I can only assume that your presence here
means you've finally come to your senses.

About what?

Banishing the only person
who ever truly cared for you.

You think I came here to apologize?

A demon can hope, can't he?

I plucked you from obscurity and poverty
and turned you into the man you are today.

I'm the man I am today because
I finally saw you for what you really are:

a Prince of Hell.

You didn't seem to mind at the time.

I didn't know any better.

There isn't a single thing from our years
together that doesn't make my skin crawl.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble,
but you'll get no apology from me.

Then why have you come here?

Why reopen this wound?

I came here to ask you
for your assistance.

[yelling] A favor?

Coming into my home
and insulting me like this?

What kind of fool do you take me for?

The kind whose love for his chosen son
might outweigh his pride.

You can stall all you want,

but you're gonna have to give
a statement sooner or later.

Look, Lieutenant,
I don't have time for this.

If you have evidence,
I'm happy to call my union rep.

-Don't do this.
-Otherwise, I'm out the door.

Don't push me.

I'm sorry, but I gotta go.

Then you're suspended,
pending further investigation.

I've been calling you for an hour.
What was that all about?

Problem for another day. What's up?

Lilith just used Jace
to break Clary out of the Gard.

What? Why?

Remember the image Simon sent you?

The ritual markings from Lilith's church.
What about them?

Whatever the ritual is,
Clary's a part of it.

-How?
-I don't know.

Alec just got a tracking hit on her.

It's faint,
but she's definitely back in the city.

All right. Let's go find her.

[elevator bell dings]

The prodigal sister has arrived.

The family resemblance is striking.

To tell the truth, I just don't see it.

You're a sassy one, aren't you?

Sorry for the delay, my Queen.

Valentine's rib.

All that matters is we have
everything necessary to begin.

My Owl is going to need his energy.

Thank you, my Queen.

Leave.

Oh, anger isn't a good look on you.

Neither are those clothes.

Get her cleaned up and into a change
of clothes for her brother's rebirth.

Perhaps something blue.

That's what your kind wears
when the lost return, isn't it?

Mom?

-[gasps]
-No, it's okay.

Please don't kill me.
I'm all your sister has left.

[softly] It's okay.

I know...

I know how hard it was for you
to lose Dad,

but what I'm about to do,
it has to happen.

It has to happen for your own good.

-Please, no.
-Please don't panic. [shushes]

And just relax.

Just listen.

Your son, Simon, he isn't a vampire.

That's just how you're dealing
with your grief.

There was an accident.

But your son felt no pain.

In his last moments...

In his last moments, he thought about
how much he's gonna miss you.

[crying]

And no matter where he ends up
in his next life...

he will never stop thinking about you.

And he...

He will always love you.

Raising Jonathan from the dead.
Is he really worth all the murder?

The things we do for our children.

Besides,
the mundanes killed by my disciples

will do far more for this world in death

than they'd ever do in life.

And yet, you need me alive.

How does that work exactly?
You can't really just borrow my heart.

Oh, I'm afraid
that's exactly what it's like.

But the heart isn't what you think.

Jonathan needs to share your life force
in order to breathe again.

So I might hold him once more.

Losing Jonathan,

hearing him call for me
with his final breath,

was the single most painful moment
of my very long life.

You say that like you loved him.

Why wouldn't I?

Demons aren't capable of love.

A failing of frail human imagination.

Demons live.

We die. We feed. We lay.
Why wouldn't we love like you?

I need to care for Jonathan like you
and your father never would.

[scoffs]

If there's one thing
Valentine and I can agree on,

it's the fact that
the world is a much better place

with a monster like Jonathan
dead and buried.

[grunting]

My son is not a monster.

Just a little demonic power to help
free my friend. It's all I'm asking for.

Why would I ever give you the means

by which Lilith could be banished
back here to lord over us all?

Edom may not be Marseille,

but it's a hell of a lot less miserable
with her gone.

[sighs] Name your price.

There is a time when we all must return
to live in the houses of our fathers.

Rule beside me.

I never should have come.

Say what you will
about the time we spent together,

but you have to admit,
you enjoyed every minute of it.

I was a child.

Father, I have never once come here
to ask you for anything.

There must be something else
I can give you.

Actually, my son, there is.

[Luke] Maryse, you deserved to know
the situation with Jace.

-Sorry I didn't tell you.
-A problem for another day.

You think Clary was actually here?

-Yes.
-Jace's or Clary's?

Clary's. It probably set off
Alec's tracking.

Look.

Do you think Jace did this to her?

[Luke] Clary might have done this
to herself.

She's leaving us bread crumbs.

-Lilith's hiding in a mundane building?
-[Maryse] Yes.

The trail led us here.

[Luke] She's trying to put
as many bodies as possible

between her and anyone
with a mind to stop her.

Any word from Magnus?

We might be on our own.

I'm sure Magnus is waiting
to make some sort of dramatic entrance.

Yeah, let's hope so.

Thanks for the intel. I'll call Izzy.
She and Simon will meet me there.

-Bring me a blade.
-Mom...

I'm gonna ask you to sit this one out.

Against the Queen of Hell?
You need all the help you can get.

Please, Mom, for me.

For Izzy. For Max.

Let us do the heavy lifting.

We pull this off, Jace is gonna need you.

[sighs]

[Simon sniffles]

I know the timing sucks, but we need you.

Lilith has Clary.

-No.
-And the one thing,

aside from Clary's sunlight rune,

that has proven to work
against Lilith's disciples--

My mark. Which Heidi somehow knew about.

I thought the Seelie Queen told her,
but what if Lilith freed Heidi?

Simon, if you can't do this,
everyone will understand.

No, no.

I just lost my mom.
I'm not losing Clary, too.

[Alec] Simon's been in there forever.
What's taking him so long?

[Isabelle] Alec, it's a high-rise.

I tried to get as close as I could
without anyone noticing but...

my vamp ears couldn't hear
Clary inside anywhere.

Lilith must be concealing her location
with some kind of glamour.

[Isabelle] Let's find out.

-What's that one do?
-[Alec] Spiritum.

It allows us to see currents
of supernatural energy.

So, if we can't see the shark
in the ocean...

You can still see the waves it makes.

Lilith has Portal wards on the perimeter.

And she's redirected ley lines
to the top floor.

I've never seen magic that strong.

With or without Magnus,
we have to get Clary out of there.

Lilith's gonna throw everything she has
at us, including Jace.

For the record, I'd rather not
vaporize Jace if he tries to kill me,

but I can't control how this thing works

or that he'll probably try
to kill me during the fight.

[Alec] That's a good point.

I have another way you could be helpful.

-What am I gonna do with a stele?
-"Stele."

Heard it both ways.

The fire alarm went off downstairs.
The mundanes are evacuating the building.

There's no fire.

Luke Garroway is leading a strike team
from the Institute.

Is the Daylighter with them?

Why do you care if Simon's here?

Keep them away from my boy.
Avoid the vampire. Kill the rest.

[Luke] Remember, if you see any disciples,
stay non-lethal.

We might be able
to restore them eventually.

Zero body count is gonna be a lot easier
without any mundanes in the way.

Looks like the plan's working so far.

Building's been emptied out on our end.

All clear back here.
Heading to meet the fire department.

Looks like security's the last one out.

Which means we got about five minutes
before emergency response gets in the way.

Here's to hoping Lilith has a short fuse.

How do we know if she takes the bait?

[glass shattering]

Call it a hunch.

[grunts]

Careful. He's still in here.

He's prepared to die for it.

I won't hesitate to fulfill that wish.

I could kill you with my magic right now.

But I'd rather make Jace watch
as I tear you apart with his hands.

Hey, there, partner.

You really think that can hurt me?

Only one way to find out.

[both grunting]

[grunting]

[panting]

-[bone cracking]
-[screaming]

Your boy is crying, you know.

[coughing]

He's begging me,
begging me not to do this.

Jace, I know you're in there.

It's okay. I forgive you.

It wasn't you.

I'm sorry we couldn't save you.

[grunting]

They say the worst pain a Shadowhunter
can feel is the loss of his parabatai.

Come here.
It's time for Jace to finally feel it.

[Magnus] Alec!

No!

[screaming]

[breathing heavily]

[screaming]

Stay with me.

[breathing heavily]

[panting]

[pants and coughs]

Mom said you'd make a dramatic entrance.

Wise woman.

[Jace] Alec. Alec.

Magnus, please, you gotta fix him.

I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

My magic...

it's gone.

I traded it to break Lilith's hold on you.

[grunts]

Jace, it wasn't you.

[breathes deeply]

I'll take care of him.

I'm going to get Clary.

[Clary] Jace is coming for you.

They all are.

Let them.

[grunting]

I bet Jonathan can't wait
to see them again.

[screaming]

[screaming continues]

As you live, so shall my son.

[all grunting]

[screams]

Rise!

How we gonna take care of those guys?

We just have to buy Simon some time.

-Hey, miss me?
-Hey.

[Simon grunts]

-Let's get out of here.
-No, wait.

We can't let her bring my brother
back to life.

-Sebastian?
-Jonathan.

-Two brothers?
-Same guy.

Oh, cool. So, what's the play?

Lilith is afraid
of that mark on your head.

That's defensive, not offensive.

She'd have to make a run at me,
but she's smarter than that.

-Not when it comes to her son.
-Okay.

But I'd need a stele.

Uh, Alec thought you might say that.

Clary's on the top floor!

[Clary] Get away from Jonathan!

Why would I do that?

As I live, so shall your son.

You wouldn't.

[Lilith grunting]

-Foolish child!
-Simon, now!

Do it, Simon. End this.

[grunts]

No!

No!

Simon!
