[OUTSIDE OF THE INSTITUTE]

SIMON: Clary. Clary, come on. We gotta go.

CLARY: Simon, I think Jace can help us.

SIMON: What?

CLARY: Come on.

SIMON: How do we know this Mick Jagger-looking guy is even gonna try-

"Mick Jagger" said Laina "Really"

Who's Mick Jagger" asked Fred.

Laina just waved him of.

JACE: Mundane, we do not have the time.

CLARY: Come on, Simon. Let's go.

[Jace, Clary and Simon go into the church. It looks dark and abandoned. Jace draws a rune. Simon looks frightened.]

CLARY: I know. Trust me.

SIMON: He's, like, burning himself.

[Jace takes Simon's hand.]

SIMON: Buddy, what's going on, man? I'm not your type, man. I don't even...

Everyone laughed.

[Suddenly, Simon is able to see the Institute.]

"That's so cool" said Fred in awe.

SIMON: Where are we? What the hell? Clary, is there a war going on that I don't know about?

JACE: There is now.

CLARY: I think my mother's at the center of it.

JACE: [to Simon] You coming?

SIMON: Yeah. What is this place? There's a lot of gear in here. What'd they do, rob a tech shop? So this cold-blooded killer is gonna help us?

CLARY: He's not a killer. He's protecting us.

JACE: Specifically, you. It's sort of our thing.

SIMON: Your thing? You guys have a thing?

CLARY: He means a Shadowhunter thing. That's what they do, protecting humans from demons.

"Because that's definitely going to help him believe that your have not lost your mind" said Sirius sarcastically.

SIMON: Demons, right. That makes perfect sense, 'cause there are demons running all around New York.

"Well that's the first correct thing you've said all day" said Alec.

JACE: That is the first correct thing you've said all day.

Everyone chuckles.

[Jace does some things on the computer touch screen. A camera shows policemen in front of the church.]

OFFICER: [on camera] NYPD.

CLARY: Won't they find us?

JACE: No. Our wards will deter them.

OFFICER: [on camera] Police.

JACE: And the NYPD will do their typical mundie thing for a few hours and then the area will be clear.

ADELAINE: What is going on? 

ALEC: Why is there a mundane in the Institute?

JACE: A Circle member followed him to get to Clary.

CLARY: A Circle rune, just like the guys that took my mother.

SIMON: What exactly is a Circle member and why are they trying to kill us?
