Scene 1

Opening Scene

21 lines
A Tent outside of Meereen.
MISSANDEI is teaching GREY WORM how to read by a fire.
Grey Worm
My name is Grey Worm. I come from the Summer "Ills."
Missandei
Isles. Summer Isles.
Grey Worm
Summer Isles. (speaks Valyrian)
Missandei
(speaks Valyrian) I am from an island called Naath.
Grey Worm
(speaks Valyrian) When they took you?
Missandei
"When did they take me?" I was five years old.
Grey Worm
You remember your home?
Missandei
I remember when they rowed us away from shore. How white the beaches were. How tall the trees. And I remember my village burning. Smoke rising into the sky. Do you remember your home?
Grey Worm
(Shakes his head.) Unsullied. Always Unsullied. Before Unsullied, nothing.
Missandei
That's not true. Perhaps one day you will return to the Summer Isles.
Grey Worm
I don't want return. (Speaks Valyrian.)
Missandei
Kill the masters.
Grey Worm
Kill the masters.
DAENERYS and BARRISTAN SELMY enter. They stand
Daenerys
How are the lessons coming?
Missandei
Very well, Your Grace.
Grey Worm
Missandei is teacher good, my queen.
Daenerys
You'll have to continue later. It's time.
DAENERYS and BARRISTAN SELMY exit, followed by GREY WORM.
Scene 2

Ext. Meereen.

1 lines
Overhead, the shadow of a flying dragon soars in the moonlight. On the ground, the Unsullied run through the rocky landscape. They strain to open a gate in the rockface. GREY WORM lights a torch as do the other Unsullied. They travel through the sewer tunnel.
Scene 3

Cut To: Meereen slave's quarters.

18 lines
Many slaves are gathered in the dark chamber, seating and standing.
Mossador
(speaking Valyrian.) You heard her! She said she came to free us.
Elder Meereen Slave
(speaking Valyrian.) You are a fool. The masters are too strong.
Mossador
(speaking Valyrian.) She will protect us. She defeated the masters' champion.
The slaves look at one another.
Mossador
(speaking Valyrian.) She has a great army. You want to live the rest of your days in chains?
Meereen Slave
(speaking Valyrian.) I want to live. You saw what they did to those children. What do you think they'll do to us?
Elder Meereen Slave
(speaking Valyrian.) I've been through two slave revolts, boy. They always end the same way: the Masters in power and the slaves dead.
GREY WORM and the Unsullied enter.
Grey Worm
(speaking Valyrian.) All men must die.
The slaves are surprised to see them. ELDER MEEREEN SLAVE and MOSSADOR stand.
Grey Worm
(speaking Valyrian.) But I promise you, a single day of freedom is worth more than a lifetime in chains.
Elder Meereen Slave
(speaking Valyrian.) Who are you?
Grey Worm
(speaking Valyrian.) This one is called Grey Worm. I was taken as a baby by the Masters of Astapor, raised and trained as Unsullied. Now I fight for Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons and Breaker of Chains.
Elder Meereen Slave
(speaking Valyrian.) You are Unsullied? They taught you how to fight before you could walk. We are not soldiers.
Meereen Slave
(speaking Valyrian.) We have no training, weapons.
GREY WORM and the other Unsullied remove their bundles from around their shoulders. The weapons clank as they hit the ground. The salves gather round, and a few tentatively pick up some swords.
Grey Worm
(speaking Valyrian.) There are three slaves in this city for every Master. No one can give you your freedom, brothers. If you want it, you must take it.
Scene 4

Ext. Meereen streets at night

3 lines
GREAT MASTER #1 and two guards walk the empty streets. They encounter some grafitti reading "Kill the Masters."
Great Master #1
(Curses in Valyrian.)
They look up to a high tower where a Targaryen flag is waving. Suddenly, a mob of slaves comes running at them. The guards run, leaving GREAT MASTER #1 to his own devices. He tries to flee, but more slaves pour around each corner. The slaves shout and set upon him.
Scene 5

Ext. Meereen streets at day

14 lines
DAENERYS walks among the cheering slaves, flanked by children.
Slaves
Mhysa! Mhysa! Mhysa!
DAENERYS, JORAH and BARRISTAN SELMY walk down the steps on the cliff, surrounded by cheering slaves.
Slaves
Mhysa! Mhysa! Mhysa! Mhysa!
They ascend to the overlook, joining GREY WORM and the Unsullied.
Slaves
Mhysa! Mhysa!
Daenerys
Remind me, Ser Jorah, how many children did the Great Masters nail to mileposts?
Jorah
163, Khaleesi.
Daenerys
Yes, that was it.
DAENERYS looks to GREY WORM, who gives a nod to UNSULLIED #1.
Unsullied #1
(shouts in Valyrian.)
The Unsullied march forth, pressing the citizens of Meereen.
Barristan Selmy
Your Grace, may I have a word? The city is yours. All these people,they're your subjects now. Sometimes it is better to answer injustice with mercy.
Daenerys
I will answer injustice with justice.
Scene 6

Cut To: The shores of Meeeen.

1 lines
An Unsullied nails a Meereen citizen to a cross. Others scream. They line the path up the mountainside, each with one hand nailed to the post, pointing the way. The citizens watch. DAENERYS stands on a platform above, surveying the city, under the Targaryen flag. The screams echo.
Scene 7

Ext. King's Landing.

19 lines
BRONN and JAIME spar by the sea. JAIME attacks and BRONN parries. JAIME pauses, panting and spins his sword. His skills have improved. They exchange attacks. BRONN presses JAIME, and they deadlock. BRONN grabs JAIME's golden hand and swats him across the face. JAIME falls to the ground.
Jaime
What the hell was that?
Bronn
That was me knocking your ass to the dirt with your own hand.
BRONN tosses JAIME back his hand.
Jaime
You're a rare talent. When you're fighting cripples, anyway.
Bronn
You learned to fight like a good little boy. I'll bet that thrust through the MadKing's back was pretty as a picture. You want to fight pretty or you want to win?
Jaime
You talk to my brother this way?
Bronn
All the time. He got used to it.
They sit together on a low wall. JAIME drinks.
Jaime
Do you think he did it?
Bronn
No. Oh, he hated the little twat, sure. But who didn't? And poison's not his style. Or murder, for that matter. You want to know for sure, why don't you ask him?
JAIME doesn't answer.
Bronn
You haven't been to see him yet, eh?
Jaime
We're done for today.
He tosses the water skin to BRONN and starts to walk way
Bronn
Your brother ever tell you how I came into his service?
Jaime
You stood for him in his trial by combat at the Eyrie.
Bronn
Aye. But only when Lady Arryn demanded the trial take place that day. You were his first choice. He named you for his champion because he knew you would ride day and night to come fight for him. You gonna fight for him now?
JAIME exits.
Scene 8

Int. Tyrion's cell

25 lines
JAIME and TYRION sit in the cell.
Jaime
To tell you the truth, this isn't so bad. Four walls. A pot to piss in. I was chained to a wooden post covered in my own shit for months.
Tyrion
Is that supposed to make me feel better?
Jaime
Maybe a bit. I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.
Tyrion
It's complicated, yes. So how is our sister?
Jaime
How do you think? Her son died in her arms.
Tyrion
Her son?
Jaime
Don't. You know what's coming?
Tyrion
My trial for regicide.Yes, I know. I know the whole bloody country thinks I'm guilty. I know that one of my three judges has wished me dead more times than I can count. And that judge is my father. As for Cersei, well, she's probably working on a way to avoid a trial altogether by having me killed.
Jaime
Now that you mention it, she did ask.
Tyrion
So, should I turn around and close my eyes?
Jaime
Depends. Did you do it?
Tyrion
The Kingslayer brothers. You like it? I like it. You're really asking if I killed your son?
Jaime
Are you really asking if I'd kill my brother? How can I help you?
Tyrion
Well, you could set me free.
Jaime
You know I can't.
Tyrion
Then there's really nothing else to say.
Jaime
What do you want me to do? Kill the guards? Sneak you out of the city in the back of a cart? I'm the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.
Tyrion
Sorry, I'd forgotten. I'd hate for you to do something inappropriate.
Jaime
Inappropriate? You're accused of killing the king.Freeing you is treason.
Tyrion
Except I didn't do it.
Jaime
Which is why we're having a trial. A trial. If the killer threw himself before the Iron Throne, confessed to his crimes, and gave irrefutable evidence of his guilt, it wouldn't matter to Cersei. She won't rest until my head's on a spike.
Jaime
Not just yours. She's offering a knighthood to whomever finds Sansa Stark.
Tyrion
Sansa couldn't have done this. She had more reason than anyone in the Seven Kingdoms. Do you think it's a coincidence she disappeared the same night Joffrey died?
Tyrion
No, but... Sansa's not a killer. Not yet, anyway.
Scene 9

Int. Littlefinger's ship.

23 lines
SANSA looks out on the ocean. Littlefinger enters.
Sansa
Where are you taking me?
Littlefinger
I'm getting married to your Aunt Lysa. She's waiting for us at the Eyrie. You'll be safe there.
Sansa
Did you kill Joffrey?
Littlefinger
Did I kill Joffrey? I've been in the Vale for weeks.
Sansa
I know it was you.
Littlefinger
And who helped me with this conspiracy?
Sansa
Well, there was Ser Dontos. You used him to get me out of King's Landing, but you would never trust him to kill the king.
Littlefinger
Why not?
Sansa
Because you're too smart to trust a drunk.
Littlefinger
Then perhaps it was your husband.
Sansa
No.
Littlefinger
How do you know?
Sansa
I just do.
Littlefinger
You're right. He wasn't involvedi n Joffrey's death. But you were. Do you remember that lovely necklace Dontos gave you? I don't suppose you noticed that a stone was missing after the feast.
Sansa
The poison. I don't understand. The Lannisters gave you wealth, power. Joffrey made you the Lord of Harrenhal.
Littlefinger
A man with no motive is a man no one suspects. Always keep your foes confused. If they don't know who you are or what you want, they can't know what you plan to do next.
Sansa
I don't believe you. If they catch you, they'll put your head on a spike just like my father's. You'd risk that just to confuse them?
Littlefinger
So many men they risk so little. They spend their lives avoiding danger. And then they die. I'd risk everything to get what I want.
Sansa
And what do you want?
Littlefinger
Everything. My friendship with the Lannisters was productive. But Joffrey, a vicious boy with a crown on his head, is not a reliable ally. And who could trust a friend like that?
Sansa
Who could trust you?
Littlefinger
I don't want friends like me. My new friends are predictable. Very reasonable people. As for what happened to Joffrey, well, that was something my new friends wanted very badly. Nothing like a thoughtful gift to make a new friendship grow strong.
Scene 10

Ext. King's Landing garden

19 lines
OLENNA and MARGAERY stroll arm-in-arm in the garden.
Margaery
I can't believe you're going. Leaving me alone here with these people.
Olenna
The time has come, my dear. There's nothing more tedious than a trial. Except perhaps these gardens. If I have to take one more leisurely stroll through these gardens, I'll fling myself from the cliffs.
Margaery
(laughs)
Olenna
Have you been to see Tommen yet?
Margaery
No. Have they even agreed to the match? No one tells me anything.
Olenna
I wasn't originally meant to marry your grandfather Luthor, you know. He was engaged to my sister, your great-aunt Viola. I was to be given to some Targaryen or other. Marrying a Targaryen was all the rage back then. But the momentI saw my intended, with his twitchy little ferret's face and ludicrous silver hair, I knew he wouldn't do. So the evening before Luthor was to propose to my sister, I got lost on my way back from my embroidery lesson and happened upon his chamber.
Margaery
(laughs)
Olenna
How absentminded of me.
Margaery
Mm-hmm.
Olenna
The following morning, Luthor never made it down the stairs to propose to my sister 'cause the boy couldn't bloody walk.
Margaery
(laughs)
Olenna
And once he could, the only thing he wanted was what I'd given him the night before. I was good. I was very, very good. You are even better. But you need to act quickly. Cersei may be vicious, but she's not stupid. She'll turn the boy against you as soon as she can. And by the time you're married, it'll be too late. Luckily for you ,the Queen Regent is rather distracted at the moment, mourning her dear departed boy. Accusing her brother of his murder, which he didn't commit.
Margaery
Well, he could have done.
Olenna
He could have done,but he didn't.
Margaery
You don't know, Grandmother.
Olenna
But I do know. You don't think I'd let you marry that beast, do you?
Margaery
What? I don't understand.
Olenna
Shh. Don't you worry yourself about all that. You just do what needs to be done.
Scene 11

Ext. Castle Black courtyard

31 lines
Swords clang as the recruits train.
Jon
Bring it through! And again.
JON and GRENN spar
Jon
Very nice. Good.
JON and GRENN take a break. JON speaks to the recruits.
Jon
A lot of wildlings fight with a weapon in each hand. First thing you want to do is disarm them to try and even the odds.
JON hands GRENN a second sword. They engage, and JON quickly knocks away one of GRENN's swords. GRENN takes a wide swing, JON ducks, then blocks his forearm and puts his blade to GRENN's throat. OLLY smiles in the crowd and GRENN nods, admitting defeat.
Jon
Let's see what you can do.
OLLY steps forward, ready.
Jon
Olly, you just watch for now.
Olly
I can fight.
Jon
Have you ever held a sword before? OLLY I was the best archer in our hamlet.
The recruits laugh.
Olly
I was!
Grenn
I believe you. We'll go hunting for rabbits one day. Right now, watch and learn.
Jon
You two. Take it slow, try and disarm each other.
LOCKE and another ranger arm themselves. LOCKE bests the bald one.
Jon
You know how to fight. You could have gone easier on him.
Locke
He wouldn't have learned anything that way.
ALLISER THORNE and JANOS SLYNT enter.
Alliser Thorne
Lord Snow. What do you think you're doing?
Jon
Grenn and I were helping them.
Alliser Thorn
Grenn's a ranger.You're a steward. Maybe you forgot that while you were off with your wildling bitch, but I didn't.
Jon
Someone has to train them.
Alliser Thorne
And that someone isn't you. Go find a chamber pot to empty. Go on. Do it. You traitor's bastard. Give me an excuse. Mormont's not hereto protect you now.
JON exits.
Alliser Thorne
Get back to work. Now! I said now!
Janos Slynt
The bastard's well-liked.You're not.
Alliser Thorne
You think I care if they like me? We're at war.
Janos Slynt
For now. But you can't be acting commander forever. There will be a choosing. The old maester will insist on it. You might reconsider his request to marchon Craster's. Let the mutineer stake care of Snow. Or you might be taking orders from him the rest of your life.
ALLISER THORNE exits.
Scene 12

Cut To: the yard armory

10 lines
JON returns his sword. RECRUIT joins him.
Locke
A bastard, eh? Took you for highborn.
Jon
My father was highborn. My mother wasn't.
Locke
Name's Locke.
Jon
Jon Snow.
They shake.
Jon
You fight well.
Locke
What brought you up here? A sense of duty. I wanted to do my part for the safety of the realm. I was a game warden in the Stormlands. Fed a prized partridge to my hungry kids. I was stupid enough to get caught. Chose the Wall over losing my hand. Figured I wouldn't have to suck up to any highborn cunts here.
Alliser Thorne
Come on, get on with it. What are you waiting for? Summer?
Locke
Guess I was wrong.
Scene 13

Int. King's Landing, Cersei's chamber.

23 lines
There is a knocking at CERSEI's door. She drinks, ignoring it. JAIME enters.
Jaime
You sent for me, Your Grace?
Cersei
Your Grace. How formal of you. How many Kingsguards are posted outside Tommen's door?
Jaime
Ser Boros is on duty tonight. Tomorrow I believe...
Cersei
So one? You have one man guarding the future king?
Jaime
I promise you Tommen's safe. We're protecting him.
Cersei
The way you protected Joffrey? Why did Catelyn Stark set you free?
Jaime
What?
Cersei
I've been wondering for months. Ever since that great cow brought you back to the capital. Why did she set you free?
Jaime
You know why. She'd hoped I'd send her daughters back to her.
Cersei
She hoped or did you promise?
Jaime
I swore by all the gods that if her daughters were alive, I'd return them to her.
Cersei
So you made a sacred vow to the enemy.
Jaime
I wanted to get back to you. Should I have told hert o fuck off?
Cersei
You didn't mean it, then? You have no loyalty to Catelyn Stark?
Jaime
Catelyn Stark's dead. So if I told you to leave the capital right now and find Sansa, if I told you to find that murderous little bitch and bring me her head, would you do it?
JAIME doesn't answer.
Cersei
I know you went to see Tyrion. That creature who murdered our son.
Jaime
I had to see him. I had to know for myself.
Cersei
And?
Jaime
He didn't do it, Cersei.
Cersei
You've always pitied him. Our poor little brother. Abused by the world. Despised by his father and sister. He'd kill us all if he could. I want four men at Tommen's door day and night. That will be all, Lord Commander.
JAIME exits.
Scene 14

Int. Tommen's bedroom.

25 lines
TOMMEN lies in his bed. He cannot sleep. He hears a door creaking
Tommen
Ser Pounce?
MARGAERY enters.
Tommen
How did you get past the Kingsguard?
Margaery
Kingsguard.
Tommen
I don't think you're supposed to be here. Mother doesn't allow me to have visitors at night.
Margaery
I'm not a visitor, Your Grace. Word has itI'm to be your bride.
MARGAERY sits on his bed.
Margaery
Did you know that people in arranged marriages often never meet until their wedding day? Before we decide to spend our lives together, we ought to get to know one another. Don't you think?
Tommen
Yes. But if my mother found out...
Margaery
It can be our secret. Hmm? If we're going to be man and wife, we'll have a few secrets from her, I hope. So, Your Grace...
Tommen
Yes? Tell me a secret.
Sir Pounce jumps onto the bed. MARGAERY pets him
Margaery
Hello. Aren't you a proper fellow?
Tommen
That's Ser Pounce.
Margaery
Very handsome.
Tommen
Joffrey didn't like him. He threatened to skin him alive and mix his innards up in my food so I wouldn't know I was eating him.
Margaery
That's very cruel. You don't strike me as cruel.
Tommen
No. I don't think I am.
Margaery
That's a relief. Because you know what happens when we marry?
Tommen
We say our vows in front of the High Septon. And after the ceremony, there's a feast.
Margaery
When we marry, I become yours. Forever. It's getting late. I should go. May I come and visit you again? All right, then.
MARGAERY leans in close.
Margaery
Remember, our little secret.
She kisses TOMMEN on the forehead, and exits.
Scene 15

Int. King's Landing

12 lines
BRIENNE and JAIME are looking at the history of the Kingsguard.
Brienne
"Ser Jaime Lannister. Knighted and named to the Kingsguard in his 16th year. At the sack of King's Landing, murdered his king Aerys II. Pardoned by Robert Baratheon. Thereafter known as the Kingslayer."
Jaime
It's the duty of the Lord Commander to fill those pages. And there's still room left on mine.
JAIME picks up a displayed sword, weighs it, and then hands it to BRIENNE. She takes it and admires it.
Brienne
Valyrian steel.
Jaime
Mmm. It's yours.
Brienne
I can't accept this.
Jaime
It was reforged from Ned Stark's sword. You'll use it to defend Ned Stark's daughter. You swore an oath to return the Stark girls to their mother. Lady Stark's dead. Arya's probably dead, too, but there's still a chance to find Sansa and get her somewhere safe. I've got something else for you.
JAIME reveals a suit of armor made for BRIENNE.
Jaime
I hope I got your measurements right.
Brienne
I'll find her. For Lady Catelyn. And for you.
Jaime
I almost forgot. I have one more gift.
Scene 16

Ext. The forrest outside King's Landing

18 lines
PODRICK beams next to JAIME. BRIENNE paces. BRONN stands in the background.
Brienne
I don't need a squire.
Jaime
Of course you do.
Brienne
He'll slow me down.
Jaime
My brother owes him a debt. He's not safe here. You're keeping him from harm. It's chivalry.
Podrick
I won't slow you down, ser... my lady. I promise I'll serve you well.
Jaime
See? He's a good lad.You'll get along.
BRONN approaches and clasps PODRICK's shoulder. He unwraps a bundle.
Bronn
Compliments of Lord Tyrion. His axe from the Blackwater.
He pushed the axe onto PODRICK's chest.
Bronn
What are you waiting for, a kiss? Ready the lady's horse.
PODRICK exits
Jaime
They say the best swords have names. Any ideas?
Brienne
Oathkeeper.
Jaime
Good-bye, Brienne.
BRIENNE nods and exits. JAIME watches her and PODRICK ride off.
Podrick
Come on, move.
BRIENNE looks back at JAIME, and rides on.
Scene 17

Int. Castle black library at night.

17 lines
SAM and JON converse in the library
Sam
I should neverhave taken her away.
Jon
She wasn't safe here.
Sam
She's not safe out there. I should have known. You told us there were wildlings south of the Wall. If they're raiding the smaller villages, Mole's Town could be next.
Jon
Castle Black could be next.
Sam
I should go back for Gilly.
Jon
We have orders. No one's to leave the castle.
Sam
I remember when you disobeyed orders and rode south to help Robb.
Jon
And I remember who came after me and brought me home. I know how hard it is, Sam, believe me. When you told me about Bran going beyond the Wall, all I could think about was getting my strength back so I could go and find him.
Sam
I wish I could have convinced him to come back with me. I tried. Really, I did.
Jon
How fast could they travel? A crippled boy being pulled on a sledge by a simpleton?
Sam
I don't know. They'd pass wildling villages. They could try to find shelter at one of them.
Jon
The wildlings have joined up with Mance. Every village or sheltered place will be deserted. Except...
LOCKE enters
Sam
Craster's? You think Bra nmight have found...
Locke
Snow. I don't mean to interrupt. Thorne wants to see you.
LOCKE exits
Scene 18

Int. Castle Black dining hall

12 lines
ALLISER THORNE and JANOS SLINT sit at the main table.
Alliser Thorne
Your foray to Craster's Keep, I'll sanction it. But I won't order anyone to go with you. Volunteers only.
Jon
Thank you, Ser Alliser.
JON moves down to the main floor of the hall.
Jon
Ahem, brothers.
GRENN knocks against the table to get their attention. The hall quiets.
Jon
I'm going beyond the Wallto Craster's Keep. I'm going to capture the mutineers holed up there or kill them. I'm asking for volunteers to come with me. There's 60 miles of wilderness between here and Craster's and Mance Rayder has an army bearing down on us, but we have to do this. Our survival may depend on us getting to these mutineers before Mance does. They know the Wall. They know our defenses. If Mance learns what they know, we're lost. But if that's not enough, then consider this. If the Night's Watch are truly brothers, then Lord Commander Mormont was our father. He lived and died for the Watch and he was betrayed by his own men. Stabbed in the back by cowards. He deserved far better. All we can give him now is justice. Who will join me?
GRENN stands. JON Nods. DOLOROUS EDD stands. Three more join, and then LOCKE does.
Jon
I can't let a recruit come north of the Wall.
Locke
Then let me say my vows. If it's a fight you're heading for, then you need men who know how.
Alliser Thorne
(nods)
Jon
Thank you, brothers.

No, don't. Don't, please.

Please don't. Ow! You're hurting me.
RAST pours himself some wine. He is drunk.

He spills wine from the skull into his mouth, greedily.
Tanner
Any command for us, Lord Commander? What's that? Fuck 'em till they're dead?
A man rough arms one of Craster's wives into sexual submission. She wails.
Tanner
Did you hear that, boys? Fuck 'em till they're dead.
TANNER pushes down another of Craster's wives. RAST admires the back of another.
Tanner
Rast.
RAST kisses her shoulder. TANNER grabs some meat and throws it at him.
Tanner
Go outside and feed the beast.
Rast
We should kill that thing.
Tanner
You should shuty our fucking hole, ugly little cunt. You look likea fucking ballsack. Ugly. Look at your stupid cunt face. I could piss in any gutte rand soak five of you. Know how much they paid me to kill a man in King's Landing? Seven silvers. They told me a man's name and that man never saw daylight again. None of them cocksuckers got away from me.
He stands.
Tanner
Haven't lost a fight since I was nine. Maybe it's time. What do you think, eh?
He kicks RAST gently
Tanner
Maybe you're the man. Eh, cunt?
He slaps RAST, goading him. RAST; I wouldn't stand a chance. None of us would.
Tanner
I was a fucking legend in Gin Alley. A fucking legend! I would take any knight... any knight, any time. Fucking cunts in steel plate. Fucking cowards.
SISSY enters with CRASTER'S BABY.
Women
A gift for the gods.- A gift for the gods. A gift for the gods.
Tanner
What the fuck is that?
Sissy
Craster's last child. A boy.
Tanner
What am I supposed to do with him? What did Craster do with 'em? Kill 'em before they could grow up and do the same to him? All right.
TANNER pulls a knife.
Tanner
Don't need another mouth to feed. Hand him over.
Sissy
He didn't kill them. He offered them.
Tanner
To who?
Sissy
To the gods. The white walkers.
Women
A gift for the gods.A gift for the gods. A gift for the gods.A gift for the gods. A gift for the gods.A gift for the gods.
Tanner
Shut up!
TANNER sheaths his knife and takes CRASTER'S BABY from SISSY.
Tanner
So... if it worked for him... Let's give the walkers what they want.
He brings CRASTER'S BABY to RAST.
Tanner
Rast is headed that way.

Bran
They're Night's Watch. Look. Jon might be here.
Meera
If Jon was here, why would they put his wolf in a cage?
The rangers handle one of Craster's wives roughly.
Meera
They might have been Night'sWatch once, not anymore. We're not safe here.We need to go.
Bran
No.
Meera
Bran, we need to go now.
Bran

BRAN, MEERA and JOJEN are brought into the keep. BRAN falls to the ground when released.
Tanner
Help him up.
A traitor sits him up. TANNER comes over to BRAN, and fondles his furs.
Tanner
This is nice. Fine leather. You're no wildling. Important. Highborn. Who are you?
BRAN does not answer. TANNER rises and slaps him.
Tanner
You see, where I come from, a commoner like me slaps a little lord like you, I'd lose my right hand. But we're a long way from home, aren't we? And the two of you, fancy-looking folks north of the Wall creeping through the woods. Isn't that a bit odd?
TANNER strokes MEERA's hair and face.
Tanner
I like your curly hair. My mom had curls like that. Beautiful brown curls. Why'd you drag a crippled boy all the way up here?
TANNER releases MEERA.
Tanner
See you haven't played this game before. A highborn hostage, that's valuable. But three of them, that's a lot of mouths to feed.
JOJEN starts to spasm. He falls to the ground
Rast
What the fuck's wrong with him?
Tanner
Come here.
TANNER grabs MEERA by the hair and pulls her away from JOJEN. He puts a knife to her throat.

(screams) No, please. Please.Please, let me help him.
Tanner
Who are you?
Meera
Please.
Tanner
Who are you?
Bran
I'm Brandon Stark! I'm Brandon Stark of Winterfell.
