"You set me up to kill that vampire." Jace says after they all stood up from falling through the Portal.
"You killed her because it was the right thing to do. The world's a safer place without that thing wreaking havoc. Welcome Cataleya to your new home. Would you rather turned over to the clave to stand trial?" Valentine says as he looks between Jace and Leya as he removes the arrow.
"That is my job! The law is hard, but it is...the law." Jace says as they all finish the saying.
"Yet the clave does nothing, nothing to enforce that. Downworlders multiply with a bite or a scratch, while our numbers dwindle year after year. If we don't do something, a den like that one is gonna be on every corner on every street in the world. This is the only way." Valentine tells his children as he runs his stele over his rune.
"You're wrong." Jace tells him and then walks past him.
"This is crazy!" Leya exclaims as she throws her hands up.
"Like I was wrong about your mother? Look, I know you even better than you know yourself." Valentine tells Jace.
"You...you don't know me at all." Jace tells him as he walks closer to him.
"You saved my life. You grabbed Cataleya. You could've Portaled us anywhere, handed me over to the clave in Idris, but did you? No, because deep down inside, you know that I'm right." Valentine tells him.

"Here I brought you some new clothes." Jace tells Leya as he hands her the clothes for her to change into."Thank you." Leya tells him and Jace turns around so she can change.

" Who are all those people?" Leya asks Jace as she walks next to him dressed in the new clothes.
"Valentine's next batch of people. Come on." Jace tells her and they walk over to a guy and stand behind him.
"If you're thinking of trying to escape, don't. The wards around this ship would fry you like an egg." Jace tells him.
"I want to be here. I can't wait to get out and start killing Downworlders." he tells Jace.
