The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Page #5

I'm the one who's always

been there for you, not him!

I'm in love with you.

And it's clear that you don't

feel the same way.

- It's...

- Don't.

There's nothing to say.

And, Clary, he's just using you

to get the Cup.

Simon...

Your mother was the only other person

who could do that.

But I've never been able

to do this before.

Apparently, the block wasn't just

repressing your memories...

but your abilities as well.

- Jace, I...

- Don't tell me.

You have a drawing emergency

and you need a nude model.

- I'm not in the mood.

- Listen!

I know where my mom hid the Cup.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Clary, wow.

You look different.

Yeah, it's just something I borrowed.

I mean, nice outfit.

It's good.

Yeah... I can't talk now. Sorry.

Clary.

I came for the Tarot cards.

- Why?

- I need them.

You know, the ones my mom painted.

I just need to look at them really

quickly and I'll give them back.

Those weapons can't come in here.

This is a peaceful house.

Put them in there.

How are you feeling today?

Fine. Just fine.

Young man, that piano's out of tune.

Please don't.

Young man...

Stop.

That song...

not one of my favorites.

Stop!

Let's have a look!

Clary, get out!

Hi, Madame Dorothea.

Have you seen Clary? I just got

a text that said she was here.

No.

Okay. Well, I'll just...

Simon!

Simon!

Simon! It's not really her!

I'll take care of him.

Simon!

She's got the Cup!

Simon!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Jace!

The runes aren't working.

Simon, you follow me.

You cut these up.

- Don't, you've done enough.

- Don't talk to her like that.

- This isn't her fault.

- You're right. This is your fault.

- Isabelle!

- Alec kept telling you...

that you were going to get hurt.

You were going to get us all hurt.

Now he's the one dying.

Well, we needed to get the Mortal Cup.

But there are other ways to do it

than getting your best friend killed.

Why don't you go get Hodge?

I never wanted anything

to happen to Alec. I'm sorry.

We agreed to do this together.

We're a team.

Since Clary got here we haven't

been a team.

Hodge!

Hodge!

Alec's getting worse.

I know.

I've already sent for someone.

Did you get the Cup?

What now?

Hodge.

You've no idea what it's

like living with the Clave's curse...

unable to set so much

as a foot outside.

Afraid to even open a window.

Try not to judge me

too harshly, Clary.

Hodge, what have you done?

I always knew you would

bring me the Cup.

It was only a matter of time.

Where is she?

She's fine.

You got what you want,

now let her go.

I have to make sure you

gave me the real one.

Everybody wants the Cup

for the wrong reason.

And you don't?

With this Cup

I can cleanse our bloodlines...

save OUI' race.

You might not know much

about mundane history...

but I can tell you when people start

talking about preserving a race...

it never goes well.

That's why my mom spent her

whole life hiding it from you.

No. She wasn't hiding the Cup.

She was hiding you.

- Drink.

- I'm not going to drink that.

Why are you so afraid?

You've been drinking this

since before you were born.

I fed it to your mother while

you were in her womb.

Come on, Clary.

You must have guessed by now.

These amazing talents that your mother

so desperately tried to suppress.

Where do you think they came from?

You're my daughter.

My blood runs in your veins.

Now... drink.

Drink!

Take it out!

No!

Someone just went through the portal.

I'll go check.

Sorry. I got a bit carried away.

- Luke, you're a...

- Clary, listen to me.

- Listen. Don't be afraid. Listen.

- Don't touch me!

Hey. There's no need for that.

That thing will be back.

We are not safe out here.

I jumped through the portal

to get away from Valentine.

I thought I'd

wind up with my mom.

Instead, I end up in the last place

I wanted to be.

Listen...

The portal brought you here because

you must have been thinking of me.

Deep inside you know

you can trust me.

You said you couldn't care less

what happened to either of us.

You just want the Cup

like everyone else.

I said that to protect you.

What else could I do?

Been keeping an eye

on you this whole time.

That was you at the hotel.

Good throw, by the way.

What about me?

- What about you?

- We had a deal.

Well, I still don't have my Cup, do I?

I held up my end of the bargain.

- No, you didn't.

- I gave you the Cup.

You handed it to Clary.

That's not my fault. Now lift it.

Listen, it's all in your head.

No. No.

- There's a spell.

- Really? A spell?

That's just an excuse

for a real problem...

in there.

Do you really think I can fix that?

I give you the Cup,

you take away the fear.

Without the Cup

I'm as stuck as you are.

Except my fear is real.

Every Downworlder,

every member of the Clave...

every Shadowhunter...

on both sides of the portal

is looking for me right now.

I'm going to need

all the help I can get.

You don't have to go

through with this, Valentine.

A demon has never set foot

in the Institute.

Well, maybe it's time they did.

I've been waiting

all these years to do this.

Clary's given me no choice.

She'll come back.

Really?

And what makes you so sure?

There's someone here she wants

as much as her mother.

If you lie and tell them they're

both your children...

you'll break their hearts.

What can I say?

The broken make the best followers.

Look at you.

To love is to destroy.

Where the hell is Hodge?

We don't have much time.

Does this look right to you?

No.

Hey, look.

Magnus?

I'm going to need all of this.

Lots of it.

Take this.

Lock this place down.

Don't do that!

Valentine.

Jonathan.

How do you know my real name?

Nobody calls me that.

Is it true?

Is Valentine my father?

You know, he was a great man...

until his conflict with the Clave.

But when your mother

ran away with the Cup...

he was just so afraid

of retribution from the Clave...

he burnt their house to the ground.

He wanted the world

to believe he was dead.

In the ashes we found the remains

of a man and a child.

Wait a second, there was a child?

Valentine was so enraged...

he wanted her to believe he killed

himself and their son...

your brother.

I have a brother?

Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern.

You're lying.

My name is Jace Wayland.

And my family are the Wayland.

You think Clary is the only one

with a block in her mind?

Let me show you the truth.

You didn't tame him.

You broke him.

No!

You are not my father.

I came back to help you understand

who you really are.

I know you're unhappy here.

Plagued by rules.

Your place is next to me.

You're a Morgenstern.

And you're my son.

My name is Jace Wayland.

I'm a Wayland.

Sorry to break this to you,

but it's time you heard the truth.

Don't.

It's all a matter of perception.

You see? Morgenstern.

- Take this.

- Okay.

Isabelle...

Clary?

We found your mom.

They found her.

She's at the Institute.

Alaric.

It's Luke, can you see it?

Yeah, I see it.

Guys, we have to go.
