Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 21 - Alliance - full transcript

[JACE] Previously on Shadowhunters...

[SEELIE QUEEN] When you
first came to my court,

I thought you nothing more
than an impetuous child.

But you're a man now, aren't you?

In what world is Magnus
Bane my better? [GASPS]

Well, as far as roommates
go, he'll be quiet.

We've been monitoring one
of our former Praetor.

He has something that can change the
nature of the entire Downworld.

Maia, I stole this for you,
so you can be human again.

- Are you gonna use it?
- No.

[LUKE] I'll get rid of it.



Simon, get down!

- [SIMON] Izzy?
- [ISABELLE GROANING]

When Glorious exploded,
you saved my life.

How could I not?

Jonathan! Please, stop this.

[JONATHAN] There is no stopping this.

You'll never love me back!

[JACE] They're just gonna keep coming

until everything we love is gone.

[MAGNUS] My father told me about
a way to increase my power.

Enough to close the rift?

The strength I would need can
only come from one place.

Edom?

You always come back.



[SEELIE QUEEN] Not feeling yourself?

I can't taste anything anymore.

It is beginning.

- What is?
- Your transformation.

Your truer nature

is finally starting to burn
away all that is left of your...

My humanity.

Those wings you birthed

once your sister was
taken away from you...

You're very much becoming who
you were always meant to be,

and it's quite beautiful.

You're not here to flirt with me.

I'm here to help you.

Although, I'll flirt with
you as well, if you'd like.

My predecessor, she saw
this with her own eyes,

when Lucifer was torn free from Michael

with the very same blade that
cleaved you from your sister.

And that allowed him to become what?

The devil?

A demon to end all demons.

But not before he went through

what I gather was a very
painful metamorphosis.

While I appreciate the history lesson,

I struggle to understand why it
is you felt the need to share.

I'm a bit of a preservationist.

And you are the most unique
thing in the entire world.

I can help you adjust...

Don't touch me.

Where are you going?

[JONATHAN] Away from you.

[BREATH TREMBLING]

♪ After you ♪

♪ This is the hunt ♪

♪ This is the hunt ♪

Any word on Magnus?

No.

Alec must be devastated.

Alec's strong.

He's determined to get
him back and we will.

I know we will.

I got you back, didn't I?

Did you?

You're the same Clary
you've always been.

No, I'm not.

How do I come back after
everything I've done?

The same way I did.

And I'll be here to help
you, no matter what.

Have you eaten yet?

[SIGHS] No.

Sweetheart, it's okay to
take some time to mourn.

Magnus' bravery saved Alicante.

His sacrifice is the only
thing that allowed the Clave

to successfully banish
those remaining wraiths.

Magnus is not dead.

He is in Edom.

We both know that he can't
ever come back home.

The rift would reopen and all of
Edom would come back with him.

I'm going to find a way.

And I'm going to get him back.

[SIGHS]

I have a wedding to plan.

[LILITH] Someone had a busy night.

I'd say you were rude for
neglecting to knock,

but Dad didn't really seem to
care much for doors. [CHUCKLES]

Or ceilings, for that matter.

Well, with weather
like this, why bother?

While I do enjoy the
chitchat, I do wonder,

are you here to finish off what
you started in my apartment?

Oh, no.

Let bygones be bygones, Mr. Bane.

And why would I believe a word you say

after you came into my home
and showered me with lies?

I admit,

the lengths a mother will go
for her sick child can be...

extreme.

That's in the past. I'm here
to talk about the future.

[MAGNUS] Mmm.

A future in which

things between you and
me are less complicated

than they were between me and Asmodeus.

After all, I'd still be
your father's prisoner

had you not trapped him in limbo.

So, a cup of sugar, then,
and you'll be on your way?

I had something a little
bit sweeter in mind.

Just a tiny opening in the rift
that you're holding closed,

just large enough for me to fly through.

[MAGNUS] Mmm.

And why would I ever do that?

So I can murder that matricidal
nightmare I call a son.

You of all people should understand
family dysfunction, Magnus.

[MAGNUS] Mmm.

And what's to stop your
thirst for vengeance

from extending past Jonathan
to my friends, hmm?

To the rest of humanity?

My word.

Your word.

[BOTH CHUCKLING]

Right.

That's enough to jeopardize
everyone I love and cherish.

If your friends really
cared about you,

they wouldn't have let you leave.

Are you sure they're really
worth all that trouble?

You want me to open the rift for you?

The answer is

no.

[LILITH GRUNTING]

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

If I wasn't still recovering from
that Daylighter's infernal mark...

But you are.

Get the hell out of my house.

[MAIA] People think that we all
come into this world a certain way,

but everyone in this room
knows that that's not true.

With Jordan, he did change.

[CRYING] Not for the
worse, but for the better.

Uh... [SNIFFLES]

So, let him be an inspiration to us all.

To Jordan.

[ALL] To Jordan.

- Actually, may I?
- Uh, yeah.

Given how everything happened,

I know the last thing you want
to do is listen to a vampire,

but Jordan was my friend.

Even if sometimes he did
things that infuriated me,

they always were done from caring.

Except that one time he kicked
my ass at Street Fighter.

[CHUCKLES] You and me both.

[CHUCKLES]

But the thing I'll
remember most about him...

Things mattered to Jordan.

People, their troubles, their pain.

Cheers to you, mate. You mattered to us.

- [ALL] Cheers.
- [WOMAN] So sad.

Thank you for coming. You
really meant so much to him.

So did you.

- How are you holding up?
- I'll be okay.

In fact, I gotta get out of here.
I've got a train to catch.

A train? Where are you going?

Ocean City. To find my parents.

Maia, that's huge.

It's something I should
have done a long time ago.

Reconnecting with Jordan and making
amends before it was too late

made me realize that life is short.

You can't be afraid to

open your heart to the
people that you care about.

You just have to let 'em know.

[CHUCKLES]

What?

You really sounded like
an alpha just now.

Luke would be proud.

And where is Luke, anyhow?

[SIREN WAILING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[PRAETOR SCOTT] Go ahead.

[LUKE GROANING]

[SEARING]

[LUKE SCREAMING]

[GROWLING]

[SIMON] Izzy?

I was just gonna call you.

What are you doing here?

I was thinking...

Life is too precious to waste
any more time on stupid things,

like pinky swears.

What are you trying to say?

♪ Maybe the end is
just the start of us ♪

♪ Two stars in a cosmic bust ♪

♪ We've fallen But still
we trust the sky ♪

♪ To pull us back into line ♪

♪ Line ♪

♪ I'm feeling fine ♪

[SIMON] Whoa.

- What? What's wrong?
- You're hot.

- And?
- No, like, you're burning.

Izzy...

- Izzy? Izzy!
- [ISABELLE PANTING]

[GRUNTS]

[SCRATCHING]

[SCRATCHING CONTINUES]

[LINE RINGING]

- [CATARINA OVER CELL PHONE] Hey, Alec.
- Hey, Catarina.

This is gonna sound a little bit crazy,

but I think you should come over
to Magnus' and check on his...

lizard.

Lizard? Magnus has a lizard?

Yeah, I didn't know he had one either.

I thought he hated reptiles.

You have to come over here quickly.
I have to go.

Something happened to Isabelle.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

- Hell of a first kiss, huh?
- [CHUCKLES]

Thank you for coming, Helen.

Well, with Aldertree in the Gard,

I suppose I'm the closest thing

to an expert in
heavenly fire there is.

That's definitely what that was?

The sword that you made to
free Clary from Jonathan...

When the shrapnel hit you,

it infused your cells
with heavenly fire.

There must be a way to remove it.

Chelation therapy, maybe? What
they use for silver poisoning?

If only it were that simple.

I was just on fire. No
need to be delicate.

When I started working with Aldertree,

one of our lead scientists
was struck with the debris

of an unstable canister of

highly concentrated heavenly
fire that exploded.

His condition was exactly
like what's happening to you.

The heavenly fire within him flared up

every time he came in contact
with anything demonic.

What happened to him?

Each time he came in contact
with a Downworlder,

he became increasingly unstable,

until the fire within him
raged out of control,

and just like that sword exploded,

he was blown into pieces.

There was nothing that
we could do to save him.

I'm a Shadowhunter.

If I keep hunting demons,

I'll die?

It's not just demons, Isabelle.

Coming in contact with anything demonic,

including those with demon
blood, could set you off.

Potentially killing them, too.

Look, I know that this
is a lot to process.

If you want, I could explain
it to Alec and the others.

No. I'll tell them myself.

I didn't set her on fire. We
were just kissing, and then...

You were kissing my sister?

I mean, she was kissing me, too...

Easy, big brother.

Izzy, I was so worried.
Is everything all right?

Just some temporary side
effects, but I'm gonna be fine.

[SIGHS] Thank the Angel.

What, am I not allowed to say that?

No, uh...

- Izzy, hey, are you okay?
- [ISABELLE] Hey.

We came as soon as we heard.

Great. Hugs for everybody else.

Simon, it...

The heavenly fire, from
when the sword exploded,

until it leaves my system,

I can't touch anyone
with demon blood.

For how long? Are we talking
days, weeks, months?

I don't know. I don't know.
But I'm gonna be fine, okay?

It's manageable.

What is going on here?

Isabelle and Simon were
kissing when this happened.

What?

[ISABELLE] Please tell me you
have a lead on Jonathan.

Yeah, we tracked down a mid-level demon

known for associating with
the Clave on Wall Street.

He didn't have any
information on Jonathan.

- But he did have news on Lilith.
- What kind of news?

She's gathering an army
to take down Magnus.

- She'll kill him.
- And if she does, the rift will reopen.

He sacrificed everything to save us.

If he's going up against Lilith,
I have to be there with him.

Alec, you know that if any of us
went to Edom, we'd die instantly.

The atmosphere is demonic,
but maybe I can go.

My heavenly fire might protect me.

No, no. Only someone with demon
blood can survive there.

Simon...

I don't have my mark anymore,

but I'm sure if you
give me enough swords,

- maybe I can...
- No.

I need you to turn me into
a vampire so I can go.

What? Alec, are you out of your mind?

What else am I supposed to do?

Please, just let me try this.

- Absolutely not.
- Izzy's right. I'm a terrible sire.

- We'll find another way.
- What other way?

Huh? Tell me. Tell me something.
Any of you?

Okay, we've gotta figure something out.

Let's look in the
archives under anything

that even mentions the word Edom.

[SIMON] Okay.

I'll meet you there.

[JONATHAN WHEEZING AND COUGHING]

You poor thing.

Go away.

[SEELIE QUEEN] Volatile as you may be,

you will be completely vulnerable
during your transformation.

[JONATHAN] Leave me alone.

Tell me, what if a
Shadowhunter happens upon you

- as you lay cocooned and defenseless?
- [COUGHING]

They'll murder me in my sleep.

So, let me help you, dear.

[GROANING]

You will feel worse
before you feel better.

If you dare betray me...

Now, why would I ever do that?

- [MELIORN] Isabelle.
- [ISABELLE GASPS]

Meliorn. Thank you for coming.

When the most beautiful
Shadowhunter, inside and out,

says she needs to see
you, who can refuse?

What is it?

Seelies have access to
dimensional doorways, right?

Why do you ask?

I need you to get me into Edom.

She said the heavenly fire in her veins

would shield her against
Edom's demonic atmosphere.

Why would she take that on herself?

[MELIORN] She didn't want all of
you putting your lives at risk.

And you didn't try to
stop her from going?

I did. But she convinced me it
was the only way to save Magnus.

- She begged me not to tell you.
- Yet here you are.

I wanted to honor my word,

but the thought of Isabelle
in danger, all alone...

I had to tell you.

Thank you, but what can we do?

I have an idea. Hear me out.

Can you get all of us into
Edom through the Seelie Realm?

I'm afraid not.

My queen just sealed our borders.
I know not why.

Even if we could, we'd die.
We've been over that.

What if I could create a rune

that binds Downworlders
to Shadowhunters?

We could share skills,
powers and immunities.

Kind of like a temporary parabatai rune.

Look, bonding one Shadowhunter
to another, that's one thing.

This is different. It's dangerous.

Remember what happened when you
runed Valentine back to life?

I can make this work, Jace.

We don't have any choice.
We're running out of time.

If it's the only way to
save Izzyand Magnus,

I think it's worth a try.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[DEMONS SCREECHING]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

[PANTING]

Magnus, where are you?

[JONATHAN GASPS]

It is time.

There is nothing more beautiful
than the birth of a god.

[JONATHAN BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SEELIE QUEEN] And you, my dear,

are absolute perfection.

[EXHALES]

Lorenzo, thank you for
coming on such short notice.

Thank you for restoring me.

Not that it changes anything between us.

I'm here for my fellow
warlocks, not you.

Ah, Meliorn, envoy of the queen.

Good evening, Mr. Rey.

[LORENZO] And Mr. Lewis,
"Royal Blue" himself.

I can appreciate a good
melody when I hear one.

Thank you. [CLEARS THROAT]

I see the representative for
the wolves has yet to arrive.

As my first act on the
Downworld Council,

I move that we start the
proceedings without them.

Give a dog too much leash, and
they never learn to heel.

This isn't actually a council meeting.

I brought you here to help us
save Magnus and my sister.

Help you save the warlock
who stood by and watched

while his father turned
me into a reptile,

left to dine on dead flies?

May your precious boyfriend
spend eternity in Edom.

Goodbye and good riddance.

If it weren't for me, you'd
still be eating dead flies.

- This isn't just about Magnus.
- It's about Isabelle, too.

And the fate of every other
living creature on the planet.

Help us, and you'll forever be known as

Lorenzo Rey, the warlock
who helped save the world.

You ready?

Bubbie Helen would kill me if she
knew I was getting a tattoo.

You sure one of you guys
doesn't want to go first?

- Absolutely not.
- No, thank you.

Simon, it's gonna work. I promise.

I've never doubted you before, Fray.

Go.

- [CLARY GRUNTS]
- [SIMON GROANS]

Clary, this is a lot of resistance.

I got it. The angels wouldn't
have given me this power

if they didn't want me to use it.

[GRUNTS]

- Are you okay?
- It stings a little.

[CLARY] Whoa.

[CHUCKLES]

So, I guess it worked?

Who's next?

[LORENZO] Almost there.

- You really sure this will work?
- It has to.

This is incredible.

Okay, so, Alec gets magic,
Clary gets vamp speed,

and what do I get? Pointy ears?

You'll learn my true powers next
time you take your lover to bed.

[LORENZO] Impressive,
if I do say so myself.

And you're positive this
can get us into Edom?

Not just in. Out, too.

Although, it feels like a waste
to ignite such craftsmanship.

I suppose thus is the
ephemeral nature of my art.

[JACE] Let's do this.

Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll find
Izzy and Magnus in the same keep.

Right, where's the keep?

We'll use the ring that Magnus gave
Alec to track him once we arrive.

Okay, everyone ready?

What could go wrong? It's just Hell.

This might burn a little.

[ALL WINCING]

[PANTING]

Simon?

Jace?

[DEMONS SCREECHING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

- Whoa! Whoa! Easy.
- Sorry.

[SIMON] This place is scary enough
without you trying to stab me.

Where is everyone else?

I thought you could tell me.

I think we're on our own.

Great.

My Tracking rune isn't working.
None of them are.

Then it appears you're more of a
warlock than you bargained for.

Our connection must be strong
enough to fool your stele.

You drew the pentagram. Why
didn't you keep us together?

Likely a side effect of your
friend's Alliance rune.

I can't even send a fire message
to tell them where we are.

Isabelle and Magnus are counting on us.

Mr. Lightwood, there's more than
one way to send a fire message.

Look at the rocks surrounding you.

You have to calm down.

- I can't.
- You can.

The same magic that confounds
your stele is at your disposal.

Magic I can't even control.

Nobody ever said this
was going to be easy.

But luckily, you have me.

[JACE] According to Alec and Lorenzo,

Magnus shouldn't be far from that rift.

Then beneath that rift is
where we shall strive to be.

Bringing a leather jacket to
Hell, that was a great idea.

You're not hot?

Are you sweating from
the heat or from fear?

From fear. I'm terrified.

I can't lie, can I?

No. Perfect. Let's go find the others.

[CHUCKLES]

- [SIMON] Whoa!
- [CLARY EXCLAIMS]

[SIMON] Almost there.

Yeah, Edom is definitely not
the Brooklyn Academy of Art.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Given the chance, would you go back?

To school?

I wouldn't trade the
Shadow World for anything.

[CHUCKLES] Before, I always felt
like there was something missing.

And then I met Jace outside Pandemonium

and my life finally made sense.

Besides, if none of this
would have happened,

you would have never met Izzy.

[SIMON CHUCKLES]

Look, for me, becoming
a Shadowhunter, it's

who I was always meant to be.

And even now, despite everything
that we've been through, I feel...

- I feel...
- Hungry?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Is that what I think it is?

This is good stuff. Medical
grade, totally organic. Trust me.

- [GRUNTS]
- Yeah, I know.

Still wouldn't trade the
Shadow World for anything?

Not even for a second.

Isn't it beautiful?

Nature never ceases to amaze me.

I have no interest in taking a
stroll through the woods with you.

Patience, dear.

[MAN GRUNTING]

- What is this?
- A gift.

Sacrificial lambs, so that you
might hone the art of slaughter.

Stolen while they slept
from an island at sea.

Take your wrath, Jonathan, and focus it.

Away from nature and toward those
who would stand against you.

Stop. The flowers and the trees
cause you no harm, Jonathan.

The Shadowhunters, they are the enemy.
Focus on them.

[MUFFLED SPEAKING]

[GRUNTS]

If you're going to kill
anyone, let it be me. Please.

Let the rest of them go.
Take your wrath out on me.

As you wish.

[GASPING]

Imagine what you could do, what
we could do, with this power.

The Shadow World will
be ours to command.

- Okay.
- Stop.

- One more question.
- No.

- A serious question.
- Please, stop.

On a scale of one to ten, how
handsome do you think I am?

- Like a nine.
- Nine.

Jace, thank you. That's
very kind of you.

I hate to burst your bubble,

but we've got bigger things to worry
about right now than your vanity.

[GROWLING]

[BOTH GRUNT]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[JACE] My runes aren't working.

If you've got any secret fairy
spells, now might be the time.

I'm afraid that Seelie magic has
little dominion in this realm.

What the hell does that mean?

That means that there's very few plants.

[DEMONS SCREECHING]

Isabelle.

[ISABELLE PANTING]

You shouldn't have come.

- Are you okay?
- [ISABELLE] I'm fine.

We need to get to Magnus.

Son of a...

[SCOFFS] Well, I'll be damned.

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

It was quite a thing to see,

those runes of yours bubbling back
up right after you passed out.

- Incredible.
- Where the hell am I?

At the Praetor compound. Safe
and very well taken care of.

Here, give one a whirl.

Don't worry, the adamas
won't burn you anymore.

Seems like Lucian Graymark
has indeed returned.

Wolf or not, he never left.

But he would like to know

why the Praetor needs a
Shadowhunter at his beck and call.

The clandestine project
that created the serum

that returned you to your old self?

It's proof enough that the Clave has
gone unchecked by the Downworld

for long enough.

You want a Praetor spy?
Not gonna happen.

You might wanna rethink that.

Praetors could make life
quite difficult for you.

Well, last time I checked,

the good guys didn't use
blackmail to get what they want.

[CHUCKLES]

It's exceedingly rare that
I don't get what I want.

If you're looking
for an errand boy

with Nephilim blood
and a seraph blade,

then you're barking up the wrong tree.

I'm not anyone's pawn.

But if you need someone
looking after the Downworld?

Well, that's something I
would've done, no matter what.

[ALEC] Magnus!

Magnus!

[MAGNUS EXCLAIMS]

Alexander.

I thought I'd never see you again.

I told you, it's only Edom.

And we weren't going to let
you fight Lilith alone.

"We"?

I'm simply doing what any
High Warlock would do.

If we succeed, then what?

Then I stay here with you.
I'm never leaving you again.

Magnus.

- Biscuit.
- [CLARY] You're okay.

Jace and Meliorn are on the way.
But where's Isabelle? Is she here?

Isabelle? Should she be?

You don't look so good, Iz.

I told you, as long as I stay away
from anyone with demon blood,

- I'll be fine.
- Including Simon?

It's okay. I get it. He's a good guy.

He's been through so much already.

It's lucky he's tougher than he looks.

I actually always kind of
admired that about him.

You have?

You're bonded with Meliorn.
You can't lie, can you?

Shadowhunters, over here.

Is that the keep?

No, that looks like a
castle fit for a queen.

[ISABELLE] Lilith.

If those wraiths are piling
inside, she must be in there.

Hey, hey. What are you doing?

Now's our chance.

She won't be expecting an attack.
We'll bring the fight to her.

Izzy, you can't use your
heavenly fire against Lilith.

It could kill you.

Listen to your brother.
