Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 15 - To the Night Children - full transcript

As news of the vampires' attack on the Jade Wolf spreads, the Shadowhunters spring into action to stop the culprit. When Heidi concocts a plea deal, Maia considers taking justice into her own hands.

Previously,
on "Shadowhunters"...

Will you help me
get my magic back?

You're, of course,
aware that there are risks.

I can take care of myself.

I thought we were enjoying
our time together.

Now!

I had to draw
a stupid rune and...

I couldn't.

I had a breakthrough
with my sister.

I have a feeling
the real Clary

will be joining me
much sooner than expected.



Wolves... They hate us.

They always have.
It's in their blood.

- Oh, no.
- It's a massacre.

Is anybody out there?
Hello?

- Simon.
- Who did this?

We're pretty sure
Heidi's behind the attack.

Excuse me,
I'd like to make a toast.

Everyone... in this room
should be proud.

Proud to call yourself
a vampire.

If that makes people afraid,

then let them be afraid.

We should never, ever
be ashamed of who we are.

The days of being locked out
are over.

If they don't let us in,
then we break down the door.



Anyone who stands in our way

will face the consequences.

- Is that silver?
- Looks like it.

The Downworld
is ours for the taking.

The Shadowhunters have had their day
in the sun,

but our night
has come.

It's our time to rule.

To the Night Children!

To the Night Children!

Heidi.

Griffin.

We've got a problem.

The Praetor and his girlfriend
have gone missing.

Okay, so?

So, there are witnesses now.

We broke the Accords.

The Shadowhunters will
be gunning for us.

Sweetheart,
those Accords,

they are in place
to keep vampires in the shadows.

Things are going to be different now.

It's a new world.

*SHADOW HUNTERS*
The Mortal Instruments

Season 03 Episode 15
Title: "To the Night Children"

Sleep okay?

Like a rock.

Oh. Freshly squeezed orange juice.
And a full glass.

One of the perks of living
at the Institute.

But, come on, get out of bed.

Breakfast stops serving at 9:00 a.m.

Alexander, I appreciate the hospitality,

but... doesn't the Clave have rules
against Downworlders living here?

Oh, they're not rules.
They're suggestions.

What?
You're not living at the Institute.

You're just visiting
for an extended period of time.

What would your fellow
Shadowhunters think of

a warlock wandering the halls?

They'd be fine with it.

Let's go.

Clary.

What happened with Jonathan
wasn't your fault.

He's still in New York, Jace.
I can feel it.

We have patrols canvassing
the entire city.

If he's still here, we'll find him.
I promise.

- Izzy, hey.
- Ugh, I'm so hungry.

Where have you been all morning?

So, I found a data chip
inside Greenlaw's stomach.

But it's highly encrypted.

It's going to take
me some time to crack.

Let us know.

Hands off my bacon.

Guess you need
to guard your food better.

You know it's not too late
to go out for breakfast, right?

And miss pancake day? No way.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Magnus, what are you doing here?

Uh, where do I start?
I just moved out of my apartment,

but unfortunately, my real estate agent
died a few hundred years ago,

so finding a new place has been
a bit of a struggle.

In the meantime, he's going to be living
with us for a little while.

- That's great.
- Absolutely.

- Welcome to the Institute, Magnus.
- Glad to be here.

It's not you. It's just,
they don't see a lot of warlocks in here.

I can see why.

- Hello?
- Clary.

- Luke. Whose number is this?
- It's the precinct's.

- They give you your badge back?
- Not exactly.

The vampires attacked the Jade Wolf.
And they killed most of the pack.

- Oh, my God.
- And the police think that I did it.

- Luke...
- There's no time to explain.

I need you to tell the Shadowhunters
what happened.

I gotta go. Don't worry about me, kiddo.
I love you.

But, Luke, what about Maia?

What is it? What happened?

I hope that was your lawyer.

I told you, I don't need a lawyer.
I'm pleading guilty.

Luke...

I know you're not a murderer,

but I can't help you
if you won't talk to me.

Come on. Give me something,
anything.

I don't know what to tell you.

Normally, I can't get you
to shut up.

Remember when those damn squirrels
got in the wall?

The captain was gonna call
pest control to deal with them,

and you reached in there
and you pulled 'em out, one by one.

Those squirrels.
They scratched the hell out of me.

But you saved 'em anyway.

Who are you trying to protect?

Nobody. I need to face
the consequences of my actions.

It's not gonna be
a slap on the wrist.

They're gonna put you away
for a long time.

And we both know
ex-cops don't fare too well in prison.

I'll take my chances.

When was the last time you slept?

I don't know.

Now that we know that Jordan's
gonna be okay, you should get some rest.

I'll wake you back up
when we get to Queens.

Every time I close my eyes,
I'm back at the Jade Wolf.

The floor's soaked in blood and my friends
butchered right in front of me.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that.

I can't even believe that it's real.

I keep hoping that I'll wake up
from this nightmare,

but it's not going to happen.

They're gone.

Maia.

They were the only family I ever had

and that... bloodsucking bitch
took them from me.

- Heidi has to pay.
- She will. I promise.

I'll kill her myself if I have to.

It won't come to that.

I'm sure the Shadowhunters
are already bringing her in.

Then get off here.
Take the Queensboro into Manhattan.

Into the city?
I thought we were going back home.

I don't have a home,
not anymore.

I want to be there
when they take Heidi into the Institute.

Let's do it.

Hey.

Any survivors?

I searched the entire area around
the Jade Wolf. I couldn't find anyone.

What about Maia?

She's not among the dead.
There's no sign of her.

Vampires killing werewolves.
This is how wars start, Izzy.

What the hell is she doing here?

- She said she had information.
- I'm listening.

I know who massacred those werewolves.

Why are you so willing
to turn on your own clan?

Well, they're not my clan, not really.

I heard them talking
about an attack on the wolves,

and I never thought
they would actually do it.

And now, I couldn't live with myself
if I didn't say something.

How do you live with yourself, knowing
you murdered that tech at the blood truck?

I couldn't.
That's why I brought him back to life.

Because I felt terrible.

- I--
- What about Praetor Nick?

You don't understand what it's like
to be drained of blood,

murdered, and then to wake up days later
and you have no idea where you are.

You feel like an animal.

Alone, and so thirsty.

And I just couldn't control myself.

Oh, tell me you don't believe her.
She held Simon's family hostage.

I know.
I still feel so terrible about that.

Lilith is the one
who talked me into that.

I was... actually getting better
at the Praetor

until your blond friend kidnapped me.

- Jace...
- Can I please get another chance?

Look, I am not saying
that I'm a Girl Scout.

I just thought that...
I hoped that you could forgive me.

Never gonna happen.

Why? You forgave Raphael.

What?

She didn't tell you?
Raphael is the one that brought me back.

He kept me locked in the DuMort
to run experiments on me.

He tortured me for days
and then your sister just let him go.

Is this true?

Alec, it's not that simple.

Sorry, I didn't come here
to start a fight. I just want to help.

If we give you a clean slate, will you ID
the vampires who attacked the Jade Wolf?

It would be my honor.

Your transport's on its way here.

- You want something to drink?
- I'm good.

- I thought I told you not to come here.
- And let you end up in prison?

If I take the fall for this,
this investigation ends with me.

If the police keep looking around,

there's no telling how many lives
could be in danger.

There is another way, Luke.

We're gonna have Simon encanto
the lieutenant. Call it all off.

Simon can't encanto the entire NYPD.

You saw what happened with Ollie.

I told her about the Shadow World
and people died because of it.

I'm not going to let that happen again.

So, you're just gonna take the punishment
for someone else's crime?

- Luke, you don't deserve that.
- Actually, I do. I left my pack.

- You had no choice.
- No, you always have choices, Clary.

If I'd been at the Jade Wolf
when the vampires attacked,

maybe things would've ended
differently.

Yeah, maybe
we would have lost you, too.

Luke, you cannot blame yourself
for what happened to the pack.

- They trusted me and I abandoned them.
- So now you're just gonna abandon me?

Clary, you know that
I will always love you.

Then don't leave me.

Please, Luke.
Please, not now. Not...

I need my dad.

I'm sorry, kiddo.

All right.

This whole situation started because

the last time somebody tried to raid
the DuMort, a vampire was assaulted.

We cannot afford to let that happen again.
So I want this done by the book.

Great, now he wants things done
by the book.

You've been equipped
with special tech, holy water.

I've diluted it to be non-lethal,
but it still packs a punch.

Any questions?

Good.
May the Angel be with you.

Hold up.

- You're not going.
- What?

You should have told me
about Raphael.

I know. Look, Alec,

Raphael is not a bad person.
He just made a horrible mistake.

He committed a gross violation
of the Accords.

- He's trying to turn his life around.
- It doesn't change what he did.

You're right.

Get me a Portal to Detroit.
I'll bring Raphael in myself.

I already have a team standing by
to back you up.

No backup.
I need to do this on my own.

Yo, Herondale.

Aline, hey.

It's good to see you.
What are you doing in New York?

Hunting Jonathan.

Yeah, aren't we all?

According to the field reports,
you almost captured him yesterday.

Yeah, almost.

If it wasn't for the no-kill order,

you would have stopped him
once and for all.

Well, it's not just an order,
you know.

Until we get that rune off of Clary,

we can't hurt one
without hurting the other.

I understand, but we have no hope
of defeating the bastard

if we have to keep treating him
with kid gloves.

We don't have a choice.

That's not true.

After what he did to my cousin--

Believe me, no one wants to rip
Jonathan's throat out more than me.

But I'm not going to let
anyone hurt Clary.

Then what do you suggest we do?

How many more Shadowhunters
have to die trying to capture him?

Exactly how many lives is Clary worth?

To me, she's worth everything.

And I'm pretty sure Jia would agree.
If it wasn't for Clary,

Valentine would have murdered your mother
at the Gard.

You both owe her.

We know you led the attack
on the Jade Wolf.

- Says who?
- You can't prove anything.

I can.

You're alive.

No thanks to him.
I saw him cut Russell's throat myself.

Take them with the others.

Maia, I'm sorry for your loss.

- Where's Heidi?
- She wasn't one of the killers, was she?

- No.
- She's the one who brought them in.

We're talking about the same Heidi, right?

She would never do that.

Not unless she was getting
something out of it.

I did agree to exonerate her
for her past crimes.

You're kidding me, right?

Look, tensions between the vampires
and the werewolves

are higher than they've ever been.

I had to bring the killers into custody
in order to prevent an all-out war.

That doesn't mean you needed
to let Heidi off the hook.

I could have ID'd them myself.

For all I knew, you were dead.
You should've called me.

I was busy making sure
that Jordan wasn't gonna die.

Luke told us that
he was gonna handle it.

So, you're just letting Heidi go, then?
That's your plan?

Look, I know
how you guys must feel.

No, I don't think that you do.
It's my pack that got slaughtered.

Heidi wasn't there. Those vampires were.
You said that yourself.

But they were carrying out Heidi's plans.

Jordan said that
she planned the whole thing.

Can you prove that?

I think I know someone who can.

That'll do it.

- I'm finished?
- Yeah.

Those are your keys.

I'd explain what doors they open,
but to be honest, I'm not totally sure.

Most of the Shadowhunters
just use the Unlock rune. So, good luck.

Hmm.

I'm sorry, have I done something
to offend you?

No, of course not.

I-I guess... I'm not sure having you
move in here is such a great idea.

- Hmm. Because I'm a warlock?
- No. No, no, no.

Personally, I don't mind,

but we've got protocols
against this sort of thing.

Don't worry. I don't plan on living here
longer than I have to.

I love Alec, but these screens
are giving me migraines.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize
this was a temporary thing.

And hey, for what it's worth,

I'm glad that you and Alec managed
to work everything out.

Excuse me?

Yeah, he, uh, told me you were having
some differences.

- Oh, he did, did he?
- Yeah.

Excuse me.

Heidi?

We thought the Shadowhunters
had taken you.

What?

Well, they came in here.
They took Josh, Griffin, El, all of them.

But how did they know who to arrest?

I don't know.

Well, you know what this means.

That one of us here is a traitor.

Whoever did this will be sorry.

- Thank you, Raphael.
- You're welcome, Irma.

You can stop hiding now.

- Isabelle.
- Raphael.

By the authority of the Clave,
I'm placing you under arrest.

I figured someone would
come for me eventually,

but I never thought it'd be you.

I should've never let you go
in the first place.

It was God's will,
as it is you coming here now.

If I must atone for my sins, so be it.

But it is great to see you again.

You, too.

I just wish it was
under different circumstances.

No. It's okay.

I understand.

You have your duty.

Would you mind if I finish mine
before we go?

Need a sparring partner?

Sure.

- You're Consul Penhallow's daughter?
- Aline.

- You're Valentine's daughter?
- Unfortunately.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I'm guessing you didn't come all the way
from Alicante just to train.

I heard your brother was in New York.

I was hoping you might be able
to help me track him down.

If I knew where my brother was,
I'd be out hunting him myself.

I already told the Clave
everything I know.

You wrote in your report
that you're looking for a sword

called the Morning Star.

Yeah, he calls it a family relic.

He somehow got it
in that twisted head of his

that I'm gonna help him find it.

- Are you?
- Am I what?

Gonna help him?

No.

But you did let him
buy you a bottle of water.

Is it really that hard to recognize
your own brother?

I was stalling for backup.

Except when they got there,
you let him go.

I didn't.

That hurt?

Good. I want Jonathan
to feel it.

Clary!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?

- Aline, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Hey!

I am so sorry.

You all right?

Do I look all right?

I just... I need some air.

- I'm coming with you.
- No.

I need to be alone.

Are you sure this is gonna work?

Nora Kendall's the one who gave Jordan
the tip about Heidi being at the DuMort.

- But wasn't she encantoed?
- She was.

But if she could prove
that Heidi coordinated all of this,

I think that's the evidence
Alec needs.

But what good is our witness
when Heidi wiped her memory?

I'm gonna un-encanto her.

Can you really do that?

We'll find out.

She's at the hospital as we speak.

- Hi, Nora.
- No, Heidi, please, no.

I need you to do something for me.

I need you to hold your breath.

- Um, we're looking for Nora Kendall.
- Are you family?

I'm the one who brought her in.

Oh, I see. Um, right this way.

Thank you.

She seemed to be on the mend
and then she suddenly stopped breathing.

Poor thing.

I'm just glad her friend got to see her
before it happened.

Her friend?

Yeah, a blonde girl, about your age.
She was very nice.

Heidi.

Hey, how was your first day?
You all set up?

Hmm.

Good to go. Your handsome friend
took care of everything.

- Underhill?
- You think he's handsome?

I guess?

Hmm.

- Is that a problem?
- No.

Yes.

I don't know if I feel comfortable
with you airing out our dirty laundry

to the entire Institute.

What are you talking about?

You told him we were having
relationship issues.

So I'm not allowed to talk to people
about my problems?

Well, sure. But him?
You barely even know him.

You're right. I'm... I'm sorry.

I just didn't think it was a big deal.

- I know. I just feel... Sometimes, I--
- Wait.

- You're jealous.
- I don't get jealous.

You're jealous. You're actually jealous.

I've never gotten jealous. This is not--

Answer it.

- Hello?
- Alec, it's Simon. The Daylighter.

I know who you are.

Maia and I found a witness.

She can prove
that Heidi set this whole thing up.

Is Magnus there with you?

- Where is she?
- That's sort of the thing.

She's in the hospital.
Heidi got to her first.

The doctors say she's in
some kind of irreversible coma,

but I thought maybe
Magnus could heal her.

I'll be right there.

Awesome. Magnus is on the way. Maia?

Hey, you sure you're okay?

Nothing an iratze couldn't fix.

Although, I just got this shirt.

Look, I'll send it downstairs.
I'll get it cleaned.

Or better yet, I'll buy you a new one.

If you're being nice to me
so I won't report this,

it's not gonna work.

Aline, come on, please.
She's been through a lot.

Jace, what she did out there,
it wasn't normal.

There's something seriously wrong
with her.

She's under an enormous
amount of stress.

The last thing she needs right now
is for word to get out

that she beat up
the Consul's daughter.

She didn't beat me up.
I was mostly winning until the end.

Yeah.

If she didn't save my mom's life,
I'd have her arrested.

But I swear to the Angel,
if she does anything like that again...

She won't. I promise.

All she needs is a little time
to get her head straight.

I hope you're right.

Beautiful night, isn't it?

What the hell are you doing here?

Funny, I was gonna ask you
the same thing.

Is this some kind of trap?

I don't know. You tell me.

I find it hard to believe that our meeting
here is a pure coincidence.

I had no intention
of stopping here tonight.

I have my own business to take care of,

and yet, as I was walking by,
I felt a sudden urge to stop.

And here you are.

You must've felt it, too.

It seems that our rune
has brought us together.

I was worried about you earlier.

- You stay back.
- Whoever you were fighting,

they must've gotten in a few good shots,
didn't they?

You come any closer,
I will call the Institute.

Shouldn't you have done that already?

Or are you enjoying this conversation
as much as I am?

God, you make me sick, you know that?

And yet, we're destined to be together.

Our meeting here tonight proves it.

This isn't destiny, Jonathan.
It's a damn rune.

You love me, Clary. I can feel it.

It's why you let me go yesterday
and why you won't turn me in now.

Come with me.

I know a part of you wants to.

No part of me wants anything
to do with you.

For now.

I've got that appointment
to keep.

Hey.

- You brought me here.
- It's okay. You're safe now.

This is Maia.
If you're hearing this,

it's because my phone's battery sucks.
Leave a message.

Maia, it's me.
Magnus was able to heal Nora.

And we were right.

Heidi was behind everything
and Nora can prove it.

Call me back.

Oh, look who it is.
The big, bad wolf.

The Shadowhunters forgave you,
but I haven't.

I know you gave that order
to kill my pack.

I don't know what you're talking about.
That was Griffin's idea.

- And that poor girl in the hospital?
- Nora?

Her dad's an orthodontist,
so, she's not poor.

Cut the crap.

This is your last chance.
Turn yourself in.

Or what?

You die.
Right here, right now.

You're serious?
You actually think that you can kill me?

If I were you,
I would've brought a weapon.

- I'll manage.
- You really don't get it, do you?

You can't stop me. Nobody can.

You killed my pack,
my family.

They did nothing to you!

You're right. I killed them,
just like I'm gonna kill you.

What's happening?

I injected myself with holy water.

It does nothing to werewolves,
but vampires?

I bet it feels a lot like
silver poisoning.

You bitch!

I'll see you in Hell.

Clary! Hey!

What were you thinking?

I... I don't know.

The rune...

We need to get you to the Silent Brothers.
Right now.

Move it. Behind the others.

Careful.

Every day I worked
in that soup kitchen,

I dreamed about you walking through
that front door.

I tried to think of what I'd say.

You don't have to say
anything.

And yet,
this is my last chance.

Never being able to see
your face again...

That's the price I must pay.

- Raphael--
- Just...

I just want you to know...

that I will always care about you.

I'll always care about you, too.

Goodbye, Raphael.

The Portal's engaged.
Let's move.

Goodbye.

Come on, I already told you.

I made it clear to Heidi
that she should turn herself in,

and then she attacked me.
I mean, you saw the rest.

You baited Heidi into
attacking you,

knowing full well
the holy water would kill her.

She killed herself.

I didn't technically break any laws.

You're free to go.

That's it?

Said so yourself.
You didn't break any laws.

It's over. Finally.

Hey, I know you sired her.
I guess it must be tough.

Yeah, I hated her.

She wrecked my family.
But we could've done it the right way.

- She would've gotten out eventually.
- You don't know that.

At least now we know
she'll never hurt anyone ever again.

I get it. But killing her?
That's not right.

Simon, the world is a better place
without her.

But that doesn't make this okay,
Maia.

There's a system for a reason.

And if we keep breaking the rules,
what makes us better than her?

- You were looking for me?
- Yeah.

Alexander, if this is about

what we were talking about earlier,
I was wrong.

You have every right to talk out
your problems with your friends,

no matter
how good-looking

- they are.
- This isn't about that.

This is about you
living at the Institute.

Oh.

Believe me, I want to live with you,
but you were right.

Having an outsider live at the Institute,
that is against protocol.

And how can I expect everyone else
to follow the rules,

if I don't follow them myself?

I understand.
I'll move out first thing in the morning.

However,
there is no protocol that says

the head of the Institute
has to actually live at the Institute.

So, when you find a place,
I was hoping that we could...

both move in... together.

Only if I get my own walk-in closet.

You mean that?

Of course.
I love you.

- Magnus?
- I'm fine.

Magnus?

Magnus?

Magnus?

Medic! Somebody get help!

Magnus!

Someone get help!
