Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 3 - What Lies Beneath - full transcript

Previously on Shadowhunters...

We're here to help you move out.

Simon, watch out!

What just happened?!

Alec told me that Robert
proposed to you in Barcelona.

How sweet that Alec feels comfortable

sharing our personal
family stories with you.

Hello... father.

Together, we will usher in a new dawn.

There are 33 others waiting for you.

Bring me my virtuous disciples.



Look, it's for a good cause

and 100% of the cover goes to charity.

Just tell your friends it's open bar.

Cool. I'll send you an invite now.

HELP! SOMEBODY HELP! I NEED HELP!

SOMEBODY HELP!

What's going on, ma'am?

I was attacked by some... beast!

He threw me to the ground...

Who are you looking for, Jace?

I'm right here.

Right under your little angelic nose

- It's you.
- In the flesh.

It's exhausting, isn't it?



Always being one step behind...

Jace?

Are you OK?

Yeah. I'm... I'm good.

It's four in the morning.

I just got back from patrol, but
what are you still doing up?

I have to go through the rest
of this surveillance footage.

By using your Stamina Rune?

Jace, at some point,
you've got to get...

I can sleep when I find him.

You also have to take care of yourself.

Seven mundanes have been
murdered in the last 48 hours.

I think I know who's responsible.

You ID'd the Owl?

The Clave has no record
of an owl-faced demon.

Or a demon that possesses
people that way.

That face has to be a glamour.

For who? Who'd want to hide themselves?

I think the Owl...

is Jonathan.

All right. Well, Just give me
a call if anything changes.

Please tell me he's OK.

He's pretty banged up. You broke
his hip and shattered his knee.

Oh, no.

Well, at least wolves heal fast.

Not in this case. He's not
healing the way he should.

Great.

They wanted me dead
before this happened.

Just lay low, and steer
clear of the Jade Wolf.

I'm gonna go smooth things
over with the pack.

I don't understand.

I didn't even touch him.

You didn't have to.

It was your forehead.

It was glowing...

with like a... mark or something.

It looked like this.

"Though you walk in the daylight,
darkness will follow."

Huh?

The Seelie Queen, she said it to me

before she tattooed this on my face.

Where are you going?

To pay her majesty a little visit.

Simon, wait.

She gave you that mark
before she let you go.

You going back could be...

Exactly what her messed-up
little Seelie brain wants.

She could trap you there forever!

I can't just crawl in
some hole and hide.

Maybe Clary's seen this before.

Look, I have to find out what this is.

Whatever that vampire did,

Glenn may never walk again.

Well, he shouldn't have come
after Simon in the first place.

You're defending him?

No. I'm just saying that
the wolf was out of line.

You all were.

What the hell do you expect?
You put a filthy vampire

under our noses, allowed
him to sleep with

our women, what's next?!

Maia is not anyone's woman.

And drop the bass in your
voice when you talk to me.

We're werewolves, Luke.

Having a vampire here
is asking for trouble,

let alone one with that kind of power.

Look, Simon said he didn't
mean to hurt anybody.

I believe him. He's a
good kid, all right?

I get it. He's like a son to you.

But you get this:

We're your pack.

We're the ones you're
supposed to protect.

And I will.

I just don't wanna act until I
know exactly what's going on.

Sooner or later, you're
gonna have to pick a side.

There you are!

Good news: the Core is
off the ley line grid

and free of demonic corruption.

That's good news. Thank you.

All righty then...

I'll make myself scarce.

We just got a fire message from Mom,

saying she's "dropping by"

for an impromptu "family dinner."

Those are a lot of air quotes.

Mom doesn't just drop by for anything.

Yeah. We're thinking it has
to do with her and Dad.

They're finally making
their divorce official.

My condolences.

It's for the best. Problem is,
instead of just being sad

like a normal person, she starts trying

to fix everyone around her.

Which usually includes
grilling her children

on everything she thinks is
going wrong in their lives.

So... where are you holding
this suspenseful dinner?

Definitely not here.

The Institute tends to bring
out her inner Inquisitor.

How about my place?

Magnus, you don't have to...

I insist. You can have the
place all to yourselves.

Wait. You should be there.

Hm-mm...

Think about it: if Magnus is there

being his usual charming self...

Mom won't have time to interrogate us.

I am charming.

You don't think it's too much?

"Too much" is my middle name.

Look, clearly this is important to you.

Ergo... it's important to me.

Hmm?

Of all the workers in the nursing home,

you are my favorite one.

I don't work at the nursing home, Rosa.

I'm just a friend.

Oh, whoever you are, I'm having a ball.

Me too.

You know...

there's someone you remind me of.

My big brother!

Oh...

What was his name?

Raphael.

You know him?

Yeah. He's told me stories before.

When you were a little girl,

your family moved here from Mexico City,

and you were terribly homesick.

Nobody seemed to notice...

Except Raphael.

And whenever you were feeling down...

he'd sneak you up to the roof

and... point at all the stars.

And he said...

They're the same stars in Mexico.

Yeah!

Oh...

But then he ran away.

He never said goodbye.

No, no! He did!

Remember?

The night he left he, um...

snuck into your room, and...

gave you one last hug.

I don't remember.

Oh, no. He... he did!

He did.

He couldn't say why.

And it broke his heart to leave.

And he promised you

if you ever felt lonely,

all you had to do is look
up at those stars...

and know that your big brother

was out there, thinking of you.

Oh...

Is she downstairs?

I have never seen her like this.

I know it's bad to play with your food.

I was bored.

Being cooped up against my will and all.

Heidi...

You need your rest.

You're still adjusting.

Trust me, I'm adjusted.

Thank you for bringing me
back from the grave...

but now, it's time to meet my sire.

We talked about this.

You can meet him when it's time.

It is time!

Ugh!

I've been going to bleeder
dens since I was 16.

I know more than you think.

And keeping me here and...

burning me... that's not normal.

Either you can let me go.

Or I can make you.

OK.

If you want to go...

I can't stop you.

Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?

I'm just gonna take this
little guy for the road.

I'm sorry.

You sure this is what is looks like

I mean, I know I'm no Picasso, but...

Actually, Picasso was an abstract...

Never mind.

This is what I saw on his forehead.

Well, it's not in the Gray Book,

which means it's not
a Shadowhunter rune.

And Magnus has never
seen anything like it.

And the Seelie Queen said only
a Daylighter can withstand it.

Does this library have
a Daylighter section?

I'll see what I can find,

but...

this may be more of a vampire question.

Remember back in fourth grade

when Tommy Weismann kept picking on me?

Until you knocked him out.

What?

True story. I was king
of the nerds for a day.

What I never told you

was that that knock out
was actually an accident.

I ducked to shield my new glasses,

and my elbow caught him in the face.

I had a similar showdown
with Cindy McCallahan...

but my knock out was intentional.

I guess I miss the days
when our biggest problems

were 90-pound bullies and the
threat of being suspended.

Hey. I need to talk to Clary.

I'm a grown vampire, Fray.
I can handle this.

Thanks.

Did you get any sleep?

This is Morgan Young, the
Owl's latest victim,

except she escaped
before he possessed her.

How'd she manage that?

She got him in the face
with pepper spray.

That wouldn't affect a demon.

No, it wouldn't.

It means the Owl is part human,

the same as Jonathan.

Jace...

Look, we've tried how many times?

There's been no activity
on the Connection Rune.

They never found his body.

Because he's probably in the
middle of the ocean somewhere!

Jace, you saw him in that river.

Jonathan was dead.

So was I...

until you brought me back.

Do you think this is
because of the wish?

Ever since Lake Lyn,

I've been having dreams about Jonathan.

Which are probably just that: dreams.

Like your dreams about
the Mortal Mirror?

They all ended up being true.

Maryse wants to have dinner

with Alec, Izzy and I later on tonight,

but I think this is more important.

Morgan is throwing a fundraiser
for disaster relief.

If I know anything about Jonathan,

he will be there to
finish what he started.

Then we should tell the others.

No. He had spies in
the Institute before.

I don't want anything to tip him off.

When he attacks again, we'll
be there to stop him.

Rosa?

Oh, yes.

What happened?

I just called to give you the news.

You didn't have to come.

No way I was gonna let you
go through this alone.

All my life...

I had to watch at a distance

as each member of my
family grew old and died.

But Rosa...

she was everything to me.

When's the funeral?

During the day.

Tell me when it is.

I'll be there.

Rosa was a beautiful soul.

Someone should be there to honour her.

Thank you.

You're a good brother, Raphael.

Rosa was lucky to have you.

Raphael...

I think it's best if you go.

It's OK.

Just...

promise me you'll ask for
help if you need it.

Another attack by the
guy with the owl face.

This time, the victim got away.

I was thinking,

could this be a warlock?

I told you. Don't mention stuff

while we're here.

Nobody's listening.

But they might start if we
keep whispering like this.

Relax. I won't mention it to anybody

who doesn't absolutely need to know.

What do you mean "need to know"?

Whom else did you tell?

Well, obviously Sam.

She's my partner.

And emergency contact
in case I get mauled

by a vampire or something.

Kidding.

Sort of.

I don't think you appreciate

how much danger this puts her in.

Now...

you want to show me that file?

Wow. Look at you.

It's not easy finding something cute

that can accommodate a weapon.

Izzy...

have you...

have noticed anything...

different about Jace?

No...

Well, you do see him a
lot more than I do.

What's wrong?

He thinks the Owl is Jonathan.

What? Why?

He keeps having these dreams about him.

He thinks they're prophetic.

What do you think?

I don't know.

He hasn't been sleeping.

He's been using his Stamina
Rune to stay on mission.

When you don't sleep, your
mind can play tricks on you.

- Yeah.
- Has he told Alec?

He's afraid that once word gets out,

it'll tip off Jonathan.

I'm coming with you.

What about your family dinner?

If the Owl is Jonathan,

we've way got bigger problems

than missing dinner with Mom.

There's no way I'm letting you guys

go out there alone.

Are you sure this is exactly half a cup?

Cooking is an art, not a science.

If that were true, then there
wouldn't be instructions.

Hmm.

Now, this is an old family recipe.

Izzy and I found it right
after my grandmother died.

My mother was inconsolable

until the day we made her this stew.

That was the first time
that I saw her smile.

Well, you're a sweet man, Alexander.

And so adorable with
radish in your hair.

Here.

Oh! Whoa.

Yeah.

OK.

How is that? Good?

- Mm! Mm-hmm!
- Yeah?

OK!

Oh, God!

Izzy... texted.

Out, out, out, out.

She's going on mission
with Clary and Jace...

which means that it's just me tonight.

Just us.

OK?

OK. Remember, my mother is on edge

and that means avoiding
any sensitive subjects,

like my dad, or like that I turned down

- that job at the Clave.
- Or the fact

that you're dating a dastardly warlock?

Hmm?

I'm sorry. Am I being terrible?

No, no, no. You're just tense.

Here.

Drink this.

I'm OK.

- You're OK?
- Oh, I'm OK.

OK.

You're OK.

My boys!

Oh!

Oh, oh, oh...

I'm far from being a boy, but...

I appreciate the sentiment.

My apologies.

I should respect my elders.

Can I get you a drink?

How about a round of
Magnus' famous cocktails?

This is your mother on edge?

Hmm...

Beautiful night.

Or not.

Raphael, I need to talk to you.

Not now.

I wouldn't be here if I
didn't need your help.

I said...

"not... now"... Daylighter.

Funny you should mention that!

Some really strange stuff has gone down

and I was wondering if it
might be because of that...

Daylighter legend you talked about.

Your little "lost boy" act
doesn't work with me, Lewis.

If you knew me better, you might
find I'm actually pretty lost.

Twice I offered to help you...

if you told me how you
became a Daylighter.

And twice you refused.

Which, from your perspective, I get.

Super frustrating, right?

But the thing is I really don't know.

And it might help if you tell me

a little bit about this
Daylighter legend...

I SAID "NOT NOW"!

Oh! Oh!

Raphael! Are you OK?

Stay away from me.

I'm serious.

Truman Capote was a
total closet warlock.

And he never knew when to leave.

"I'd like to stay here the
entire night drinking cognac

and regaling you all
with all my stories."

Well, you do know how to host.

Oh, please. Tonight was all Alec.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

That stew was incredible.
Who knew you could cook?

Well, I've made that for you before.

Ah, how could I forget?

Alec and Isabelle made this for
me when they were little kids.

To see the looks on their faces

when they brought it to me...

It still warms my heart.

But that stew!

I still have nightmares!

I.. I thought you loved that stew.

Well, I do now!

Whatever you've done to the
recipe, it's unrecognizable.

Would anyone care for a digestif?

Mm... no, thank you.

I'm probably embarrassing Alec as it is.

Oh, we're just happy to see
you in such good spirits.

We thought you might be upset...

what, with the...

divorce and everything.

I've made my peace with that.

But your instincts are right.

I do have some unpleasant news.

I wanted Isabelle and Jace

to be here, but...

you need to know.

In light of Malachi's coup,

the Clave has reopened its investigation

of former Circle members.

You had nothing to do with Malachi.

Still...

based on a review of my
actions in the Circle,

the Clave has reclassified me a traitor.

- What?
- They're stripping me

of my runes. In a few days,

it'll be announced that I have
been exiled from Alicante.

This is completely unjust. You've given

your life to the Clave!

I'll go and check on the desserts.

This is total hypocrisy.
What about the Pangborns?

The Blackwells?

Do they keep their positions?

What about-what about Dad?

He was assigned to the LA Institute

- as part of a deal.
- That is exactly my point!

He gets a slap on the wrist, not exiled!

Please, don't make this
harder than it already is.

My punishment is more severe

because my crimes were too.

Back in the days of the
Circle, I was convinced

Valentine had all the answers.

I recruited many good people...

including your father.

And together with Valentine,

I orchestrated all the bloody
details of the Uprising.

But you got out.

Only after I knew we were doomed.

Once I saw Valentine
for who he really was,

I couldn't believe what I had done.

I vowed to devote the rest of my life

to the Clave.

But the charges against me are just.

That's very noble of you, Mom.

But if you're not going to
fight this thing, I will.

Even if that means stepping
down from the Institute.

No. Seeing what you have accomplished

as Head of the Institute...

nothing has made me prouder.

The Clave's always had its faults.

My generation nearly
destroyed everything

in our passion to fix it.

Yours will have to be wiser.

The Owl could be anyone.

Remember, he might not look
like Sebastian Verlac.

Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

All right.

Let's split up.

Yeah. Don't let Morgan
out of your sight.

I can't wait to meet the Shadowhunters.

Do you think they'll be glamoured?

I don't know.

You really don't understand how
dangerous this is, do you?

This all started with me getting
scratched by a werewolf.

So... yeah, I think I get it.

No, you don't.

Back then you were just a mundane

who had a freak accident.

Now, you're playing with fire.

And if you're not careful,

you'll get caught between forces

you can't even begin to understand.

And I won't be able to help you.

Sounds like you're
speaking from experience.

His name's Simon.

A little awkward. Happy.

But mundane...

until he got caught up in the Downworld.

What happened to him?

Did he die?

You could say that.

I understand that knowing
about the Shadow World

is a huge responsibility.

You need to trust that I can handle it.

Isabelle?

We met at the hospital.

You were assaulting a vending machine...

Right.

Hey! How're you doing?

Are you friends with Morgan?

No. Why?

Well, you seem to be staring at her.

Oh, just... you know, people watching.

Well, I'll leave you to it.

Actually... before I do,

I have to ask for your number.

Sometimes I don't take a hint,

so "no, go away, please"

is a perfectly acceptable answer.

Look, you're a nice guy, I'm just not...

But "no, go away, please"?

Just give me your phone.

Simon, it's not worth the risk.

I have to get this thing off
me before I kill someone.

The only people you're hurting

are people who are trying to hurt you.

Is that such a bad thing?

It's terrifying.

- Fine.
- What are you doing?

Coming with you.

You can't. What if she tries
to keep you captive again?

Maia, this is my problem.
I have to do this alone.

You better come back to me. You hear me?

That's the plan.

All right. My Lady...

your favorite Daylighter's coming.

You know, there are worse things

than being locked out
of the Seelie Realm

and getting drenched.

We're going to figure this out.

You've already done so much.

Simon, I care about you!

So until you tell me to back off,

I'm going to be right here,

wringing out your jacket. Got it?

OK.

Let's get you some dry clothes,
warm blood and a shower.

What about the mark?

Just try not to piss anyone off

and we'll deal with it in the morning.

Awfully confident, aren't you?

Coming after me, all alone.

Why Morgan? What are you
doing with these mundanes?

You never could beat me in
a fair fight, could you?

Looks like we're about to find out.

Ah, there it is...

the famous Morgenstern swagger.

Or is it... Wayland?

Herondale?

Lightwood?

It's hard to keep track of
exactly who you are, isn't it?

We are much more alike
than you think, you and I.

I am nothing like you.

You are exactly like me.

Except, of course, I'm stronger.

Spend enough time in Edom,

it has a way of...

toughening you up.

I look forward to sending you back.

Says the unarmed man.

Go on, then.

Do it.

Come on, now.

Don't waste my time.

There's a rather attractive redhead

I'm dying to speak to.

Did you see where Morgan went?

No. I hope Jace has her.

Isn't that Morgan's phone?

Oh, no...

GET AWAY FROM ME!

Morgan!

Izzy, watch out!

Is it you?

Coward!

Show me your face, Jonathan!

Thank you again.

Tonight couldn't have been nicer.

You're welcome anytime.

And, um...

I'd appreciate if you could
keep our conversation

between us. I'd like to tell
Isabelle and Jace myself.

Of course.

I suppose we'll be seeing more of you?

I'd like that.

I may have had my
prejudices in the past...

but seeing you stand by Alec?

It's what every mother
wants for her children.

Thank you for loving my boy.

Hello?

Anybody there?

Luke... what are you doing here?

Simon...

I, uh...

It's OK.

I understand.

I'll come by tomorrow and, uh...

pack up my stuff.

Look, if you need a
place to stay, I can...

No. You've done enough.

I don't want to cause
you any more trouble.

I'll see you around, I guess.

Yeah.

Simon?

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it.

I'll be all right.

Ah...

What happened?

She's gone.

Poor Morgan.

She's the last person who
deserves to be locked up.

It's for her own safety.

Where is Jace?!

Still no word?

I'm starting to get really worried.

He should've been back by now.

Maybe he went to look for the Owl.

Without checking in?

Well, one thing is for sure,

The Owl is definitely not Jonathan.

Wait. How do you know?

I got him with my whip.

The electrum didn't react.

Well, if the Owl's not Jonathan, then...

who could it be?

There you are, my owl.

Yes, my loyal disciples,

let your demonic life-blood

flow into this sacred tomb...

so it may nourish my precious boy...

and prepare him for his rebirth.
