Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (2016–…): Season 3, Episode 7 - Salt in the Wound - full transcript

With the Owl's identity revealed, Alec, Isabelle, and Clary head to Alicante to try and find a way to stop him. Luke and Simon team up to track Lilith's latest possible victim. Maia reflects on her past.

♪♪

Previously, on Shadowhunters...

CLARY: I can summon Ithuriel?

The Owl has a master.

Its name is...

It is powerful enough
to kill an angel.

I have to let everyone know.

You do that,
and it unravels everything.

OLLIE: Knowing about
the Shadow World

is a huge responsibility.

You need to trust
that I can handle it.



Who else did you tell?
Well, obviously Sam.

She's my partner.

You're playing with fire and
I won't be able to help you.

The blood sacrifice
is almost complete.

There are 32 disciples.

One more and Jonathan
will be ready.

Go find me my last
virtuous mundane.

STOP!

CLARY: It was him... all along.

♪♪♪

Jace!

Jace. This isn't you.

Jace,
I know you're still in there.

I know you won't kill me.



Jace...

I love you.

I don't love you.

Not anymore.

♪♪♪

♪ We're coming

♪ After you

♪ This is the hunt

♪♪♪

♪ This is the hunt ♪

Look... don't beat yourself up

about Heidi. OK?

That's why the Praetor Lupus exists...
to help

problematic
Downworlders like you.

Wait, so I'm problematic?

When you haven't had your
blood in the morning, yeah.

You know I have this
unpredictable mark

of destruction on my
head, right?

You should watch yourself.

Really.

OK. No judgments.

I stress eat.
Besides, the blood's free

when you're dating
the bartender.

Hey. Are you OK?

What happened?
Where did you end up taking Heidi?

Maia... Have you guys met?

What is he doing here?

That's Kyle, my roommate.
He lives here.

That's Jordan Kyle.

He's the werewolf who turned me.

You're Jordan?

Maia, let me explain. Please.

No, no, no.
You stay away from her.

What the hell is going on?

You turned Maia,
and now you're stalking her?

No! No, no.

I had no idea Maia
was your girlfriend

until it was too late. OK?

At that point,
I would've broken the Praetor oath

if I withdrew from
the assignment.

So you lied to me because you
knew she was my girlfriend?

I'm such an idiot.

No, Simon... No, no, no!
I've heard enough!

Just...
stay away from both of us.

Look, Fray, it's a bad time.

[]

[] Simon...

Are you OK.

Where are you?

Near... Crosby and Grand.

I'll be right there.

Ah!

Clary, wha...

It's OK. OK?

It's gonna be OK.

Who did this to you?

Jace is the Owl!?

How is that even possible?

This whole time,
it wasn't his mental health.

He was possessed...
By an extremely powerful.

Greater Demon,
who gave him the ability

to turn mundanes
into demonic killers.

We've defeated
Greater Demons before.

We'll do it again and free Jace.

This is not just
any Greater Demon.

Clary was able to draw
an image of the beast,

and it matches this image
from the Silent City archives.

The demon is Lilith,

Queen of Edom.

Adam's first wife.

Adam as in Garden of Eden, Adam?

The one and only.

So what does that mean?

She's the mother of all demons.

It makes her more powerful

than anything we've
ever encountered.

But of all people, why Jace?

Alec...

What you felt that night

when your parabatai
rune disappeared...

You were right.

Jace did die.

Valentine killed him.

I knew it.

But if he died,
how did he come back?

Because I made a wish to Raziel.

You made the wish?

I had to.

I had to. It was the only
way to bring him back.

But it...

It made him vulnerable,

to Lilith, to this...

this beast that is powerful
enough to murder Ithuriel.

What?!

Because of me.

Because I summoned him.

Because I was
trying to help Jace.

Alec, I am so sorry.

I should not have
kept this from you.

I know what position this
puts you in with the Clave,

so if you want to
send me to the Gard...

I understand.

Clary, no!

♪♪♪

I would've done the same thing.

♪♪♪

Please, pick up the phone...

Sam. It's Detective Garroway.

[I need you to leave your
apartment right now.]

Why Where's Ollie?

I'm not sure.

[I need you to go
someplace secure.]

Which beloved did you sacrifice?

My mother.

I am your mother now.

♪♪♪

Because of your 33 sacrifices,

Jonathan is now nourished,

and ready to rise again.

Once he is with us,

our family will
finally be complete.

Soon, my son...

you will be home.

♪♪♪

So you've been carrying this
secret around the whole time.

Yeah.

Why didn't you tell me?

Jace convinced me
not to tell anyone.

Clary...

I'm your best friend.

You don't have to go
through this alone.

Simon...

I have to go check on Maia.

Maia.

It's complicated.

Go.

Yeah.

Last night... Ollie's mother

was found in her apartment...

stabbed to death.

Luke... there is nothing

you could've done.

Wait. Jace was able to reverse.

Morgan's possession, remember?

If we can find Jace,

maybe he can save Ollie.

No. We tried that.
He must be using his anti-tracking rune.

The Owl wasn't
exactly shy before.

If we were to somehow
contain him the next time

he makes an appearance, I might

be able to relieve him
of Lilith's influence.

How the hell are we
gonna contain him?

When I took over
as weapons master,

I read about a piece
of Clave technology

that never made
it into the field.

It was called the
Malachi Configuration.

Malachi the traitor?

He invented a type of
cage for Greater Demons.

Now, it's just sitting
in the Alicante Armory.

So we go there and we get it.

What, do you expect the
Clave to just hand it over?

No...

but Imogen might.

She's Jace's grandmother.
We can trust her.

Izzy and I will go with you.

And I will go try and
find a cure for Jace.

Before the Owl got
a hold of Ollie,

she had a location lead.

If I can find Lilith...

I can find Jace.

Magnus!

Hey!

Magnus...

What a fool I am.

If I hadn't given
her that elixir...

Jace would still be Jace.
Magnus...

Lilith would have gotten
to him with or without you.

You can't put this
all on yourself.

I will fix it.

I will use the last
drop of my power

if it's the death of me.

Thank you.

About our fight...

Alexander, I... No.

I was wrong.

I said things I shouldn't have.

As did I.

But that's not
important right now.

What's important is that
we save your parabatai.

There you are.

I've been calling you all night.

I'm OK.

I am...

I am so sorry about Kyle.

I mean, Jordan.

If I had known,
I would've had nothing to do with him.

I know.

Maia...

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah. Well, I'm here

if you need to talk.
You can talk and I

could just listen,
believe it or not.

Whatever you need.

I just need to be
alone right now.

Yeah.

♪♪♪

A day like today,
I thought for sure

I'd have the beach
all to myself.

You're going in the water?

I was planning on it.

I don't know where you're from,

but that water is freezing.

I think I'll be OK.
That's what the suit's for.

You don't surf, do you?

Never.

Well, that's too bad.

Why not?

Come on. It's, uh...

It's just you and
me and the seagulls.

I promise your secret is safe.

I'm terrified of the ocean.

There is no need to be.

Shark attacks are a lot
more rare than you think.

It's not just sharks.
It's everything.

I can swim in a pool
all day long no problem

but the ocean?
I mean, you don't know what's out there.

There could be...

fish... stingrays...

giant mutant octopuses
that'll swallow you whole.

You mean octopi?

Octopuses.

Really?

Look it up.

You know an awful
lot about the ocean

for someone who's
never been in it.

Occasionally,
I put my feet in the water.

Maybe even an ankle if
I'm feeling adventurous.

But I just prefer to
sit and watch the waves.

It helps take my mind
off the bad things

happening on dry land.

You know, I get it.

I'm Jordan, by the way.

Ahem.

- OK.
- Yeah.

Maia.

OK, Maia.
It is now my duty in life

to get you to surf just once.

Never gonna happen.

You sure?

OK.

Well, suit yourself.

♪♪♪

I need you to go to Alicante.

As a Nephilim,
you can enter without being detected.

I'll provide you a
warlock to portal you.

Then you will go to the
Cemetery of the Disgraced.

That's a highly
secured area now.

Oh, you'll find a way in.

And once you do,

you will bring me the
flesh of his father.

Valentine.

Smart boy.

Luke. You wanted to see me?

I haven't been here since
take your kid to work day.

I need you for a
reconnaissance mission.

Me.

You broke the bones of a wolf
and nearly killed a vampire

with that... thing on your head.

You're added protection.
So I'm like a body guard?

I'm Kevin Costner,
you're Whitney Houston!

No. It's nothing like that.

Well, it's actually
kind of like that...

All right. Ollie's contact has
been seeing an influx of people

loitering around
this intersection.

Everyday people with the same
vacant look in their eyes.

So you think that's
where Lilith is hiding?

Yeah.

Don't tell me this is police
business you can't discuss.

Where's Ollie? Sam...

She would never disappear
this long without calling.

OK? Even for her job.

All right, look. I...
Does this have to do

with your damn Shadow World?!
I can't talk about this here.

Just follow me.

♪♪♪

It's wonderful to see you all,

but based on this
unscheduled visit,

it seems that something

must be amiss. What's happened?

Jace has been compromised

by the Greater Demon Lilith.

She's controlling
his every move.

Oh, by the Angel...

How did this happen?

We don't know.

If this is true...

you know it will be

grounds for a kill order.

We believe we can cure Jace

without having to
alert the Clave.

That's why we came to you.

If you can give us the
Malachi Configuration,

we can contain Jace.

We can cure him.

And what do I tell
Consul Penhallow?

Who says she has to know?

♪♪♪

♪♪♪

JORDAN: Thank you.

Did you see me out there?

Did you see how long

I rode that wave?

You were amazing.

And insanely beautiful

riding that 1 foot wave.

You know, I wish I could
show you real swells.

Well, anytime you want
to take me to Australia,

I'm game. You know, I was...

I was thinking more Fiji.

Even better.

No, I'm serious.

You know,
what's keeping us here?

We should move to Fiji.

Yeah, OK.

You know, when I was a kid,

I cut out this picture
of Namotu Island.

And, ah...

I always wanted to go, but...

we could never afford it.

Now, it just feels so far away.

Well, I wouldn't mind getting
out of the Jersey cold.

You know, it's warm every
single day of the year.

We could live on the beach,

give surf lessons to tourists.

No more shoveling snow
or sitting in traffic.

I bet my parents
wouldn't even miss me.

Oh, of course they would.

♪ It's a sign, stars align

But they'd understand.

You can't live under the cloud

of your brother's death
forever, Maia.

♪ We are one,
and we are twinkling

I love you, Jordan Kyle.

I love you too.

This is Praetor Kyle.

I want to be taken off the case.

[You know that's
against the oath.]

Yeah. I don't care.

I'm willing to suffer
the consequences.

I can't be here anymore.

My security clearance
must be used in person

via thumbprint.

Well, that's a new development.

When the Circle
members got ousted,

we increased security protocol

in certain high-risk
areas in the city.

The Armory is one of them.

I didn't realize
we had visitors.

Consul Penhallow.

What brings the crown jewels

of the New York
Institute to Alicante?

Inquisitor Herondale was just

giving us a tour...
Of the Armory, so I can improve

the operations in New York.

What a wonderful idea.

I have a few moments to
spare, do you mind if I join?

Actually, Consul Penhallow,

I was hoping to speak
with you privately.

Of course.

Consul.

Is this about your mother?

No.

I wanted to talk to you
about that delegate position

you had offered me.

I'm having second thoughts

about turning down
the promotion.

I'm glad to hear you're
a willing candidate.

Unfortunately,
I've already offered the position

to Michael Rayhorn,
of the Brussels Institute.

Hmm. That is...

unfortunate.

What about a variation
on a healing spell?

It's not that simple.

My elixir has already
taken a hold of him.

Magnus,
you can't blame yourself.

Of course I can!

I knew there was something
off about that warlock...

I should have followed my gut.

The past is the past,

but you and I both know you're
powerful enough to reverse this.

Well, that's the problem.

I'm too powerful
for my own good.

I'm too powerful
for anyone's good.

The elixir is irreversible.

Jace was already compromised

before your elixir
ever touched his lips.

It's not gonna be easy,

but don't act like
you're some helpless

40-year-old warlock.

You're Magnus Bane.

I've gotta get home to Madzie.

The babysitter
must be exhausted.

But don't give up.

Do what you do best.

Think outside the box.

LUKE: I'm picking up on Ollie's scent.
We're close.

I should have never told
her about the Shadow World.

SIMON: You did everything you
could to keep her out of this.

Hell, you even encantoed her
and it still didn't stop her.

Yeah, but she's my partner.

I'm responsible if she doesn't
come home at the end of the day.

Are you gonna be able to
control your condition?

"Condition"?

'Cause if we do find Ollie,

there's no telling
what she'll do.

She's still human...

and so are the others.

I never thought of that.

As far as I know,
all I have to do

is avoid any type of attack.

I had a guy helping
me figure it out.

He was like my
supernatural life coach.

He says he works for this...

top secret organization
called the Praetor Lupus.

Have you heard of it?

I'm the one that called
them in the first place.

So you knew about
this this whole time?!

They were a great resource
to me when I first turned.

I thought they
could help you too.

"Help"?
All they've done is drop a bomb

on the best thing I have
going for me right now.

What happened?

They sent Maia's scumbag ex.

Jordan.

The one and only.

How is Maia?

Is that thing still infected?

It's been weeks.

It's just a scratch.

Oh, that is not just a scratch.

Stray dogs have diseases.
You need to see a doctor.

I don't need to see a doctor.

It'll be fine.

You said you wanted to meet.
What's up?

I have amazing news.

I got into Rutgers...

on a full scholarship
in Marine Sciences.

Isn't that amazing?!

Wow.

"Wow"?

I thought you'd be proud of me.

No, I am. It's...

It's just...

What about Fiji?

I mean, Fiji was
just, like, a fantasy.

You know? Something to...
daydream about.

It wasn't real.

Yeah, well, it was real to me!

I have to get out of
Jersey, Maia.

And so do you.

We can make this work.

I will work my ass off

to get us there.
I'll make plans for the surf school.

OK? It... it... Jordan...

I want to make a life
for us too but here,

where I can go to school.

No.

You are not
abandoning our dream.

FOR SOME SCHOLARSHIP!

I'm so sorry.

What's going on with you?

Nothing. I'm fine.

It's not nothing.
Tell me what's going on.

I gotta go.

Maia?

Maia?

Maia.

Yeah.

Really?
'Cause you kind of seem bummed.

No. I'm just...

I'm just thinking.

Thinking's good.

Are you gonna eat
those spring rolls?

No.

Help yourself.
Where are you headed?

To do something I should've
done a long time ago.

What kind of cage
fits in a duffle bag?

I'll explain later.

I made sure it wouldn't
be detected as missing.

That should keep the
Clave off our backs.

Hmm. All we have
to do is find Jace.

You know, sometimes I...

think it would've been better

if Jace had never met me.

Are you kidding?

I've known Jace a lot
longer than you have.

Before,
all he cared about was the hunt.

Yeah.

Then he met you,

and it was like he woke
up from a deep sleep.

From that day on...

he became a different Jace.

A happier Jace.

Hey. Did you get it?

Some assembly required, but yes.

Let's go.

Jace.

Sorry to startle you.

I probably should've
warned you I was coming.

It's always
wonderful to see you.

What brings you to Alicante?

I need you to escort me

to the Cemetery
of the Disgraced.

That's an odd place
to go at this hour.

Why?

I'd like the opportunity

to properly mourn my parents.

Unfortunately...

bereavement visits need
to be pre-approved.

Can't you make an exception?

Stephen would be so
disappointed in you.

I was his only son...

just like he was your only son.

Well, of course I can
make an exception.

Come.

I'll take you to
the cemetery now.

Ah!

Oh...

Oh!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah...

Oh...

Change of plans. Jace is here.

He's in the cemetery.

What? What is he doing?

I don't know.
We have to get him. Now.

SIMON: This place is like a
devil worshipper's paradise.

LUKE: More like demon worship.

Why don't you go check
out the other room?

I'll see what I
can find in here.

I'm your bodyguard.

I can't let you out of my sight.

I think I got it covered.

Right.

Blood.

Hey, look...

Look, you guys don't
wanna mess with me, OK?

For your sake.

Trust me. LUKE!

Little help here?!

Mother doesn't want you here.

Ollie... I'm not gonna hurt you.

This is infernal ground
and I must protect it.

Ollie... I can help you.

Come with me,

we'll get Lilith
out of your head.

Sam wants you to come home.

She loves you.

I killed my mother,
and now I'm going to kill you.

And then I'll go home to Sam

and stab her until there's
no one left to love.

Stop it.
You gotta fight against this.

Fight against what?

This is who I am.

I know you don't believe me,
but I'm telling the truth.

If you attack me,
you're gonna get very hurt.

What the hell happened in here?

I don't know.

♪♪♪

Jace!

NOW!

What have you done?!

It worked.

What do we do now?

I can buy you some time.

How?

I'll cover for you.
Now, go fix him!

Clary, what are you doing?!

NO!

WOMAN: Move, move, move!

Well,
this is certainly a surprise.

Drop your stele!

MAN: Let's see your hands!

WOMAN: Hands on your head!

What are you doing?!

What?

I'm not blind.
I saw you outside the restaurant.

What, are you stalking me now?

Who is he?

That's none of your business.

Of course it is!
We've been broken up

for weeks, Jordan.
You don't own me.

I'm not your possession.

Of course not.

Look, Maia...

I have to tell you something.

I've been going
through some changes.

If you'll just let me explain...
No. It's too late.

I'm trying to make
things right here.

You can go to Rutgers

if it means we can be
back together again.

OK?

I don't need your permission.

I need for you to stay
the hell out of my life.

♪♪♪

What are you?

Maia...

I'm...

I'm a...

Don't worry, I'm leaving.

This will explain everything.

So you're still a coward.

I deserve that.

You deserve a lot worse.

I want you to know
what happened.

It started the weekend
I went camping...

when I got scratched.

Why didn't you tell me
what was really happening?

How do you tell
the girl you love

that you're an animal?
A werewolf?

You should've trusted me.

I would've been there for you.

I know that now.

But when I first turned,

I wasn't thinking straight.

I wanted everything
to go back to normal,

but I knew that
wasn't gonna happen.

I lost it...

when I saw you with that guy.

That night you attacked me...

to get revenge?

Revenge.

It wasn't revenge.

I was jealous,

and I couldn't control my turn.

But I never meant to scratch
you, Maia.

I swear to God.

It's not just about the scratch.

I know what it's
like to lose control.

I attacked a girl
when I first turned.

So, yeah, I get it.

But thankfully I had Luke,

who brought me into his pack.

He even helped me
check up on the girl

after it happened.

But you?

You just left me there

and never came back.

That's why I'm angry.

Yeah.

I understand.

But after I did what I did,

I couldn't face you.

I'm so... I'm so sorry, Maia,

for everything.

Not a day goes by where I
don't regret what I did.

That's why I joined the Praetor.

To help others.

To right my wrong.

It's great...

that you found

a version of redemption for you.

But if you're here to
ask for my forgiveness...

that's not something I can do.

I asked the Praetor to be
taken off Simon's case.

I will be out of your life as
soon as the new Praetor arrives.

No. You're not abandoning Simon

like you abandoned me.

You're staying on his case.

Just don't expect
us to be friends.

My disciples...

I felt them...

disintegrate. How?

It was a vampire.

A Daylighter.

You really think that this...

thing... can contain me?

You're even stupider
than I thought.

We're gonna save you, Jace.

Good luck.

It's only a matter of time
before Lilith finds me,

finds you.

You'll all be dead by sunrise.

I don't think so.

We will battle her with
everything we've got.

We won't let her take you again.

When your...

delusional confidence
gets you killed,

I'll be sure to tell
your mundane boyfriend

that you died in a tragic
jewelry-making accident.

At least he's safe
from the Clave.

For the time being.
