Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments (Shadowhunters)

Previously on Shadowhunters...

The vampire with the mark. You gave it to him

because it's the only thing that can banish me.

I want it gone!

Find Jace. Bring him out with you.

Lilith's torturing me.

She's gonna find me. She's gonna make me do worse.

- She's gonna kill me. - You're coming with us.

We have to go. Now.

She took Jace.

Bring in the accused.

If Jace was dead, how is he alive now?

After my father killed Jace,

I used the wish to bring Jace back.

Clarissa Fairchild... you are hereby sentenced

to death.

Every month,

the Gard holds a culling of its death row inmates.

Today, you all have been chosen.

Charles Freeman.

Ascend.

You are guilty of colluding against the Clave

with former Consul Malachi Dieudonne,

and of killing 12 Clave soldiers.

Do you have any last words?

Long live the Circle.

Turn and meet your fate.

May the Angel have mercy.

Any word from Maia?

Nothing.

Mate, I'm... I'm so sorry.

I'm not your mate.

Mates don't lie to each other.

And they definitely don't move in on your girlfriend.

So you heard what I said to her?

Every word. You know...

It was selfish for you to tell Maia how you felt.

You made her question everything.

- Including me. - That's not what I was...

No! Look, just...

save it.

From this moment on,

we are strictly Praetor-Praetee.

Fine. Well, in that case, here.

The Praetor finally determined what the symbol on your head is.

"The Mark of Cain"?

As in Cain and Abel?

Yeah. The salt at Lilith's hideout was the final piece

of the puzzle. It led our archivists

to biblical sources, where they found this.

"Whosoever slayeth Cain

shall have revenge taken upon him sevenfold."

Whenever someone tries to hurt you,

they get hurt seven times as bad.

Lilith's disciples came at you with death blows.

- Hence... - Death, sevenfold.

You know, we learned about the Mark of Cain

in Hebrew school. God cursed Cain

for killing his brother, so Cain would have

to wander the world in misery.

Well, actually, our sources show

that ancient Seelies gave Cain his Mark.

That explains why it's so twisted.

Why would the Seelie Queen want to curse me?

Maybe she wanted the ultimate bodyguard.

What if we use the Mark to break Clary out of prison?

No one can stop me. I'm basically invincible.

I know, but let's just think this through.

Any soldier that came at you would be blown to bits.

You really want that blood on your hands?

Blood. Right.

How long since you've eaten?

I don't remember.

You know, I've been so worried about Maia,

and now Clary, that I...

haven't really thought about it.

It's empty.

- I can run and grab something... - No.

- I can get my own bag. - No, no. Hey, hey.

Simon, let me do this.

Hey, if not as your mate, then...

then as your roommate.

OK?

You're the head of the Institute.

Can't you demand to know what happened with Clary?

I've tried. The Council is freezing me out.

Sorry to interrupt.

Magnus.

Looks like someone needs a coffee.

Oh, no thank you.

I already had six.

So, I was up all night

researching the dark magic that Lilith has been using on Jace.

I may have found a way to free him.

What? How?

Based on your descriptions,

it seems Lilith has Jace locked in some kind of a mental cage,

and the only solution is breaking that cage

by blasting Jace with enough magic

to eviscerate her presence.

Do you have the power to do that?

No, but I will.

In the Book of the White, I found a synthesis spell

that'll allow me to temporarily channel

- the magic of other warlocks. - How many warlocks?

I'll need at least about a dozen to match Lilith's strength.

I'll have to call in some favors, but...

this should work.

There's just one tiny catch.

We'll need the High Warlock's permission

to organize something on this scale.

Trevor Hayes.

You are guilty of violent assault

- on 13 mundanes. - Red?

Red?

Is that you?

Relax.

The cuffs suppress warlock abilities.

I couldn't hurt you if I wanted to,

not that I would.

I heard what you did,

stopping Valentine's wish.

You don't deserve this.

No one does.

This is barbaric.

Even the barbarians weren't this cruel.

After everything I've done,

this is how it ends...

burned at the stake for not doing magic.

What are you talking about?

The Consul moved up my execution

because I refused to perform a spell for her.

The Clave hires warlocks all the time.

Why ask you?

Because necromancy is my specialty.

But even I know no good would come

from resurrecting Valentine Morgenstern.

Jia asked you to resurrect Valentine?

Why?

She wanted to question him about a demon.

Lilith.

She tried to dig him up.

But I said I don't care

if Lilith is the devil incarnate.

Anyone is better than that Circle bastard.

He took my Madzie away from me.

Let him rot.

The weapon you requested.

This should keep Simon busy for a few days.

And keep the Mark of Cain far from Jonathan's rebirth.

Wake up.

Where the hell am I?!

Somewhere safe. You're OK now.

I'm not OK. I was walking with the Praetors,

and that guy killed them and then stuffed me

into a duffel bag!

He saved your life.

You're welcome.

My apologies for the rough mode of transport,

but we know you didn't inherit

your Sire's immunity to sunlight.

My sire?

You know Simon?

The Daylighter recently killed two of my progeny.

Oh, that doesn't sound like my Simon.

I know that you loved Simon.

That you devoted yourself to him.

And he promised he to protect you, only to send you away.

How do you know about that?

I know a great many things.

Well, he thought that, um...

He thought that I was out of control.

As opposed to under his?

My ex once told me the same thing.

And I wanted to change to please him.

Just like you.

But then I realized

that no woman should

ever... kneel to a man.

Yeah. Well, damn right.

He just doesn't appreciate

the bond that you have.

But you can change that.

I can?

Oh, yes.

Do as I say,

and Simon will kneel to you.

Clarissa Fairchild.

Ascend.

You are guilty of using the Angel Raziel's one wish

for personal gain...

and of knowingly deceiving the Clave on the matter.

Do you have any last words?

I know what Iris Rouse refused to do for you.

I can do it.

What are you saying?

I've created runes that can open portals,

take down wards, and deactivate Mortal Instruments.

I can bring Valentine back to life.

We inspected Valentine's body and grave.
