Valar Dohaeris

The screen is black. A White Walker unleashes a horrendous screech. Weapons clash while men grunt and scream in the sounds of battle.

It is dawn. The wind howls as SAMWELL TARLY runs, desperate and exhausted, through blizzard conditions of blinding snow.

SAM comes to a halt. Just ahead, a Night's Watchman kneels in the snow.

SAM approaches the kneeling figure, and realizes that the man is decapitated and holding his own lifeless head in his lap. SAM looks ill and defeated. Behind him, a figure strides towards him, axe drawn. SAM turns and his eyes widen as he sees the undead Free Folk striding towards him. The ghoul raises his axe to strike, and SAM recoils and falls. As the last moment, a direwolf pounces on the undead man, saving Sam's life. As SAM lies stunned, GHOST pulls the his attacker away by the ankle. The ghoul shakes his way free and claws forward to SAM, grabbing at his legs. As SAM scrambles backwards, a torch lights the ghoul on fire. Engulfed in flames, the undead wildling finally collapses. SAM looks up to see LORD COMMANDER JEOR MORMONT and the Night's Watch. He rises.

SAM keeps his eyes on the ground in shame.

The party, including "RATTLESHIRT" LORD OF BONES, JON SNOW, and YGRITTE, return to the bustling wildling camp. A giant walks by, carrying a bundle of huge stakes. JON is awed.

The giant drives a large stake into the ground.

The giant finishes his work and looks at JON, growling. The party continues to walk through the camp, and the wildlings heckle JON has he passes.

Boys throw rocks at JON.

YGRITTE swats a boy with her staff.

RATTLESHIRT, JON, and YGRITTE enter the tent. TORMUND GIANTSBANE eats hungrily by the fire.

TORMUND rises and stares at JON.

JON kneels before TORMUND, mistaking him for MANCE RAYDER, the King-Beyond-the-Wall.

The wildlings laugh

MANCE rises from the back of the tent.

JON rises.

RATTLESHIRT leaves. YGRITTE gives JON a look, and exits as well.

MANCE extends his hand, and JON shakes it. MANCE holds on firmly.

TORMUND glowers.

MANCE's guard rise and close in, menacingly.

Children chatter and play in the water outside of King's Landing

SER BRONN OF THE BLACKWATER and a WHORE lie abed, enjoying themselves.

She rises.

BRONN moves to remove it, and she tsks, putting her finger to her lips.

A door opens, and PODRICK PAYNE enters.

Tyrion looks at his scar in the mirror. There is a knocking at the door.

TYRION puts down the mirror and moves a stool to the door. He opens the door's window looks through the door to see QUEEN CERSEI LANNISTER and Kingsguard members SER MERYN TRANT and SER TARYN MANT.

TYRION considers.

TYRION grabs an axe, and opens the door cautiously. As soon as CERSEI enters, he secures the door closed..

TYRION pours himself some wine.

TARYN MANT and MERYN TRANT stand guard. A door opens and BRONN and PODROCK enter.

BRONN strides forward, and the two guard block him.

They begin to draw their weapons. At that moment, TYRION'S door opens, and CERSEI exits TYRION'S chambers. She walks away with MERYN TRANT and TARYN MANT. BRONN sheaths his dagger.

TYRION, BRONN, and PODRICK walk along the wall.

SER DAVOS SEAWORTH lies on a rocky shore, bruised, battered, and dehydrated. He looks out to the sea and sees a boat in the distance. He climbs atop the rocks and starts waving. He removes his shirt in desperation and waves that as well.

DAVOS starts to lose hope. Then a horn blows from the distant boat. He is relieved.

A ships' boat has made it to DAVOS. He greets them as they row to him.

DAVOS hesitates.

The man smiles slightly and throws a rope to DAVOS.

DAVOS and SALLADHOR sit in the captain's quarters. DAVOS sits and SALLADHOR stands above him.

Salladhor sits.

SALLADHOR stands and pours himself some wine, then sits again.

Horses trot as ROBB STARK's army is on the move.

ROBB's army advances

ROBB's forces have arrived at Harrenhall. ROBB surveys a courtyard that littered with bodies. Flies buzz noisily among the corpses. RICKARD KARSTARK and ROOSE BOLTON enter.

ROBB and CATELYN walk somberly through the courtyard. CATELYN stops at a body propped against a section of wooden spikes, a blade through his heart. ROBB comes up behind her and looks at the sigil on the man's chest.

ROBB looks over at RICKARD KARSTARK and ROOSE BOLTON and the two men exit. He glances around at his soldiers atop the walls and throughout the courtyard and steps back from his mother.

A Stark soldier nods and leaves. CATELYN looks down as she is escorted away from ROBB by a group of soldiers.

TALISA approaches ROBB, watching as CATELYN is lead away.

QYBURN coughs nearby and TALISA moves to tend to him.

ROBB holds a waterskin to QYBURN's mouth and he takes a few gulps.

A bird caws as TALISA sets to treating QYBURN's injuries.

TYWIN LANNISTER works at his desk while TYRION looks on.

TYWIN blows on his paper to dry the ink.

TYWIN seals the letter he has finished.

TYWIN stands and takes a goblet of wine.

TYWIN sits.

TYRION gets up, dejected, and starts to leave.

TYRION exits briskly in anger.

SANSA STARK and SHAE sit on a dock, looking at ships.

LORD PETYR "LITTLEFINGER" BAELISH and ROS walk onto the dock.

LITTLEFINGER approaches SANSA and SHAE.

SHAE looks to SANSA, then stands and walks back to ROS.

Further back on the dock, ROS approaches SHAE.

LITTLEFINGER leaves SANSA and walks towards ROS and SHAE.

The dragons screech as they fly next to a boat at sea. On the deck are DAENERYS TARGARYEN and SER JORAH MORMONT watch them. DROGON dives and catches a fish. He cooks it with his fire breath and swallows it. He lands next to DAENERYS for affection.

DROGON screeches again and takes flight.

A Dothraki man vomits on the deck below.

The ship's boat has dropped DAVOS off below Dragonstone, and started back to sea. DAVOS begins to walk to the castle.

STANNIS BARATHEON sits, looking out to the sea, with MELISANDRE standing beside him. DAVOS enters.

DAVOS approaches to address STANNIS.

MELISANDRE touches DAVOS 's cheek, and he recoils.

She whispers in his ear

Enraged, DAVOS draws his dagger and raises it to stab her. The guard hold him back.

The guards pull him backwards out of the room.

The guards remove him from the chamber.

KING JOFFREY BARATHEON and LADY MARGAERY TYRELL are being transported through King's Landing in their royal palanquin borne by the Kingsguard.

The palaquin is set down and JOFFREY is confused and irritated.

JOFFREYlooks out of his palquin, and sees MARGAERY stepping into the streets.

MARGAERY walks with purpose, and her maid tries to keep up.

MARGAERY is blocked by a disfigured commoner, who looks at her with disdain. She smiles at him.

A woman empties a bucket of feces just in front of MARGAERY's path. She continues, optimistic and undeterred.

She steps across the puddle of filth and her handmaid follows.

MARGAERY sits surrounded by children. One, a young boy, is speaking to her.

MARGAERY hands him a toy knight carved from wood.

She turns to another child.

The child nods

Women begin hand out food to the children.

MARGAERY holds hands with two children as she walks. Children laugh and play. She speaks to their caretaker.

The doors open. JOFFREY and CERSEI join MARGAERY and SER LORAS TYRELL for dinner.

They rise and bow.

They all sit at the table, and servants begin to pour the wine.

There is an awkward pause as the main course is brought to the table.

DAENERYS stands on deck, watching their approach to the city.

KRAZNYS MO NAKLOZ leads DAENERYS, JORAH, and MISSANDEI. MISSANDEI translates for KRAZNYS.

They approach the gate.

The foursome walks though a battalion of Unsullied warriors, standing at attention, who have made an aisle for them to pass through.

Once they are through, the Unsullied reform at attention. The four ascend a platform at the end of the yard, the sea behind them, to survey the soldiers.

KRAZNYS steps forward and descents to the yard.

KRAZNYS calls an Unsullied forward. He pushes the man's shield and spear aside. He takes the Unsullied's knife and cuts away part of his leather chest armor

KRAZNYS grabs hold of the man's exposed nipple.

KRAZNYS slices off the man's nipple, throwing it to the ground. The solder does not flinch.

KRAZNYS replaces the armor strap, and returns the soldier's arms to the ready.

KRAZNYS turns around to face DAENERYS. The Unsullied soldier steps back into formation.

KRAZNYS holds up eight fingers.

KRAZNYS sheaths the knife. The Unsullied make way for KRAZNYS and MISSANDEI as the exit, then return to formation.

DAENERYS and JORAH walk along the shore.

They come upon a busy yard where people work and some children play. One CHILD in particular looks at them as she tosses a wooded ball to herself. JORAH and DAENERYS continue into the yard.

The CHILD remains just ahead of them. Meanwhile, a dark hooded figure follows behind.

The CHILD rolls her wooden ball to DAENERYS, who picks it up. The CHILD motions for her to open it. Behind her, the hooded figure draws a knife. He knocks the ball out of her hand before she can twist it open. JORAH grabs the man and wrestles him to the ground, revealing SER BARRISTAN SELMY. DAENERYS has been knocked to the ground, and the ball sits inches from her face. It opens, and a chittering, shiny scorpion crawls out and unfolds itself into display. It launches itself at DAENERYS, but is skewered by BARRISTAN's knife before it reaches her. He studies the pierced arachnid

BARRISTAN flicks the scorpion off his knife. The CHILD, whose mouth is now a corrupt shade of green, flees and jumps off the dock to the water. But when BARRISTAN reaches the edge, the CHILD is nowhere to be seen. He sheaths his knife, confused. DAENERYS and JORAH spot the CHILD on the overlook above them before she walks away.

She walks towards BARRISTAN.

He lowers his hood.

BARRISTAN approaches.

BARRISTAN kneels before her.

I am Barristan Selmy, Kingsguard to your father. Allow me to join your Queensguard and I will not fail you again.

BARRISTAN lowers his head in deference. DAENERYS considers his offer.
