YOUNG NED and YOUNG BENJEN are sparring with wooden swords in the commons. BRAN and THREE-EYED RAVEN are standing on a balcony above the courtyard, watching. YOUNG NED knocks YOUNG BENJEN to the ground.
Young Rodrik
Give him another go, Ned.
YOUNG NED helps YOUNG BENJEN to his feet.

That's my father. And my Uncle Benjen.

Keep your shield up or I'll ring your head like a bell.
YOUNG NED and YOUNG BENJEN begin sparring again. BRAN looks around the commons at the citizens of Winterfell going about their business.

They were all so happy.

So were you once.

Stop showing off.

Young Benjen
Would you get out of here? We're sparring.
Young Lyanna
Who are you gonna spar with when Ned goes off to the Eyrie?
Young Benjen
I don't know.
YOUNG LYANNA turns and looks at YOUNG HODOR.
Young Lyanna
What about him?
Young Ned
Wylis, come here.
BRAN turns to look at YOUNG HODOR. THREE-EYED RAVEN reaches BRAN's side.
Bran
Hodor?
YOUNG LYANNA walks over to YOUNG HODOR with a wooden sword and shield.
Young Benjen
But he's got giant's blood.
Young Ned
And you've got training. Sounds like a fair match to me.
Young Lyanna
Benjen always lifts his chin when he's about to charge.
YOUNG HODOR takes the sword and shield.
Young Hodor
And lowers it when he's going to dodge, my lady.
Bran
Hodor talks?
YOUNG HODOR walks over to YOUNG BENJEN. They both ready to commence sparring, but stop when NAN appears.
Nan
You leave the fighting to the little lords, Wylis. Come along, now. It's no place for you.
NAN takes YOUNG HODOR by the ear and leads him away.
Young Ned
Oh, Nan, look at the size of him. If he ever learned to fight, he'd be unstoppable.
Nan
Well, he's never going to learn to fight because he's a stable boy. So leave him be.
Three-eyed Raven (to Bran)
It is time to go.
Bran
Please, a little longer.
THREE-EYED RAVEN touches BRAN on the shoulder.
Scene 3

Cut To: Great Weirwood Tree - Cave

50 lines
BRAN is released from the vision. He gasps, then lets go of the root. The white fades from his eyes. A CHILD OF THE FOREST is sitting nearby, staring at him. He props himself up on his wrists and looks at THREE-EYED RAVEN.
Bran
You finally show me something I care about and then you drag me away.
Three-eyed Raven
It is beautiful beneath the sea, but if you stay too long, you'll drown.
Bran
I wasn't drowning. I was home.
CHILD OF THE FOREST and THREE-EYED RAVEN exchange a glance. BRAN turns to HODOR, who is sitting with his back against a wall.
Bran
Wylis.
Hodor
Hodor.
Bran
I saw you as a boy. You could talk. What happened?
Hodor
Hodor.
Bran
Where's Meera?
Hodor
Hodor.
HODOR carries BRAN outside and sets him down in the snow. MEERA is sitting in the snow at the base of the great weirwood, staring out at the tundra.
Bran
You shouldn't be here. It's not safe outside the cave.
Meera
It's not safe anywhere.
Bran
I saw that Hodor wasn't always Hodor.
Hodor
Hodor.
Bran
His real name is Wylis. And he could talk and fight and -- and then --
MEERA turns and looks at BRAN.
Bran
What's wrong?
MEERA casts her eyes down and looks away.
Bran
The Three-Eyed Raven says there's a war coming.
Meera
And we're going to fight it in there.
MEERA scoffs and turns away. HODOR picks BRAN up and carries him back inside. A side view of MEERA reveals the same CHILD OF THE FOREST who was watching BRAN, sitting among some stones and frozen shrubbery..
Child Of The Forest
Brandon Stark needs you.
Meera
For what? I sit in there and I watch him have his visions and nothing ever happens.
Child Of The Forest
He isn't going to stay there forever. And out there he needs you.EXT. CASTLE BLACK COURTYARD - NIGHTThe Night's Watch members allied to ALLISER THORNE are poised with crossbows pointed at the room DAVOS and the other Night's Watch members faithful to JON SNOW are in. ALLISER THORNE is outside the door to the room, accompanied by several others who are loyal to him. Inside the room, JON SNOW's body remains on the table. DAVOS, the faithfuls, and GHOST are all standing.
Alliser Thorne
It's time, Ser Davos. Open the door and the men inside can rejoin their brothers in peace. We'll even set the wolf free north of the Wall where it belongs. Nobody needs to die tonight.
DAVOS turns to address the Night's Watch faithfuls.
Davos
I've never been much of a fighter.
DAVOS walks over to Longclaw, JON SNOW's sword, and picks it up.
Davos
Apologies for what you're about to see.
DAVOS unsheathes Longclaw. The faithfuls follow suit, drawing their own blades.ALLISER THORNE turns to address a Night's Watchman.
Alliser Thorne
Come on.
The Night's Watchman lifts and large hammer and walks over to the door. He begins slamming the hammer against the door repeatedly. GHOST begins to growl and bark. DAVOS and company ready themselves for battle. After a number of swings, the Night's Watchman with the hammer breaks a hole in the door. A loud thudding can be heard somewhere behind ALLISER THORNE and company. They turn to see what the noise is. The thudding is coming from one of the courtyard's main gates. WUN WUN breaks down the gate and the Wildlings led by TORMUND and DOLOROUS EDD rush into the courtyard. The Night's Watch loyal to ALLISER THORNE have bows drawn at the Wildlings but do not fire. They back up slowly.
Alliser Thorne
Attack!
ALLISER THORNE draws his sword. A Night's Watchman charged TORMUND. TORMUND cuts him down. The other Night's Watch members do not retaliate.
Alliser Thorne
Fight, you cowards!
A Night's Watchman on a balcony shoots WUN WUN in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt. WUN WUN turns to face the man, then grabs him by the legs, slams him against a wall, and tosses his body to the ground in front of ALLISER THORNE. The Night's Watch members allied to ALLISER THORNE begin dropping their weaponry. TORMUND and DOLOROUS EDD approach ALLISER THORNE, swords drawn.
Alliser Thorne (to Dolorous Edd)
You fucking traitor.
Dolorous Edd
The only traitors here are the ones who shoved their knives into their Lord Commander's heart.
Alliser Thorne
For thousands of years the Night's Watch has held Castle Black against the Wildlings.
Tormund
Until you.
OLLY shouts and charges at TORMUND with his sword. TORMUND grabs OLLY and disarms him, then tosses him to another man who restrains him. Two men take ALLISER THORNE by the arms.
Dolorous Edd
Throw them into the cells where they belong.
The men drag ALLISER THORNE, OLLY, and the Night's Watch betrayers away. TORMUND, DOLOROUS EDD, and DAVOS enter the room where JON SNOW's body is. They stare down at him and his wounds.
Tormund
Took a lot of knives. I'll have my men get the wood for a fire. Bodies to burn.EXT. KING'S LANDING COMMONS - DAYMany male commoners are gathered together at a place for eating. They are all watching one commoner man tell a story.
Storyteller
Right, so there she is, high and mighty Queen Cersei, tits and ass jiggling in the breeze.
The commoners laugh.
Storyteller
All of a sudden she looks my way. Gives me a little smile like, "Well?" So, all right, you know, I've never been shy and I'm blessed down south, so I put it right out. She's never seen anything like it. I mean, she's used to her brother, and from what I hear, Jaime Lannister's half an inch shy of an inch. She sees it and I swear to the gods she licks her lips. Well, you all know me. You know I wouldn't lie about this.
The STORYTELLER walks into a dark alleyway to relieve himself. He is drunk. GREGOR walks up behind him. The STORYTELLER looks up at GREGOR. GREGOR bounces his head off the wall, killing him, then walks away.

King's Soldier
King's orders, Your Grace.
Cersei
What are the king's orders?
King's Soldier
He would like you to remain in the Red Keep, Your Grace, for your own protection.
Cersei
You're barring me from attending my own daughter's funeral?
King's Soldier
Forgive me, Your Grace, by the king's command, I cannot let you pass.
Cersei
I would like to speak to my son.
King's Soldier
He has left the Red Keep, Your Grace.

45 lines
TOMMEN and JAIME are standing beside the body of MYRCELLA. She has funeral stones over her eyes, with painted eyes on them.
Tommen
She grew up.
Jaime
Almost.
Tommen
Have we caught Prince Trystane's killers? I expect it was Mother.
Jaime
Your mother wouldn't do that.
Tommen
Yes, she would.
Jaime
Are you angry with her?
Tommen
Of course not.
Jaime
Then why didn't you let her come? She has every right to be here.
Tommen
They told me she wouldn't be allowed in the sept. If she had tried --
Jaime
They're not putting your mother in a cell ever again. Not while I'm here. Why haven't you gone to see her? Everything she endured, she did it for you.
Tommen
Don't you think I know that? I'm sorry. But I can't.
Jaime
Why not?
Tommen
When the Faith Militant seized her and Margaery, what did I do? When they paraded her through the streets like a whore, what did I do?
Jaime
We all fail sometimes.
Tommen
The king is supposed to be the Protector of the Realm. If I can't even protect my own wife or my own mother, what good am I?
The HIGH SPARROW enters the sept. JAIME takes TOMMEN by the shoulder.
Jaime
Go and see your mother and ask her to forgive you.
JAIME and TOMMEN to address the HIGH SPARROW.
High Sparrow
Your Grace. Lord Commander.
Tommen
I want to see my wife.
High Sparrow
The gods wait for Queen Margaery to confess her crimes and seek their mercy. The king must wait as well.
Jaime
Go and see your mother, Tommen.
TOMMEN exits.
Jaime
You're a bold man.
High Sparrow
On the contrary. I fear a great deal. The Father, the Mother, the Warrior.
The HIGH SPARROW approaches MYRCELLA's body.
High Sparrow
Do you know why we use these stones? To remind us not to fear death. We close our eyes on this world and open them on the next.
Jaime
You must long for the next life.
High Sparrow
In truth, I fear that, too.
Jaime
You imprisoned and humiliated my sister.
High Sparrow
Your sister sought the gods' mercy and atoned for her sin.
Jaime
What about my sins?
JAIME approaches the HIGH SPARROW.
Jaime
I broke a sacred oath and stabbed my king in the back. I killed my own cousin. When the gods judged my brother guilty, I helped him escape their justice. What atonement do I deserve?
JAIME grips the hilt of his dagger and partially draws it.
High Sparrow
You would spill blood in this holy place?
Jaime
Oh, the gods won't mind. They've spilled more blood than the rest of us combined.
High Sparrow
Go on, then. I deserve it. We all do. We are weak, vain creatures. We live only by the Mother's mercy.
A great number of the Faith Militant encircle JAIME and the HIGH SPARROW on the steps of the sept.
Jaime
They should be closer if you mean for them to save you.
High Sparrow
I don't. They'd never reach me before you struck.
Jaime
I've fought against worse odds.
High Sparrow
No doubt many of us would fall. But who are we, hmm? We have no names, no family. Every one of us is poor and powerless. And yet together, we can overthrow an empire.
The HIGH SPARROW walks slowly away from JAIME.

Tommen
Mother.
CERSEI walks in from the balcony.
Cersei
Did they put her in the red gown or the gold?
Tommen
Gold.
Cersei
Good. It was always her color.
CERSEI walks over to a side table and drinks a sip of wine. Her back is facing TOMMEN.
Tommen
I'm sorry for keeping you here. I shouldn't have, but I was -- I didn't want to lose you again.
Cersei
I understand. I'm glad to see you.
Tommen
I know I should have come sooner. I wanted to. I was wrong.
Cersei
It's all right.
Tommen
No, it isn't.
CERSEI turns to face TOMMEN.
Tommen
I should have executed all of them. I should have pulled down the sept onto the High Sparrow's head before I let them do that to you, as you would have for me. You raised me to be strong...and I wasn't. But I want to be. Help me.
Cersei
Always.
CERSEI and TOMMEN embrace.EXT. MEEREEN GREAT PYRAMID - NIGHTThe golden statue previously knocked from the top of the pyramid lies in the sand at the foot of the pyramid.

TYRION, VARYS, MISSANDEI, and GREY WORM are gathered together in council. TYRION pours himself a glass of wine. VARYS tsks at him.
Tyrion
If I lost my cock, I'd drink all the time.
TYRION looks at GREY WORM.
Tyrion
Meaning no offense. He makes dwarf jokes, I make eunuch jokes.
Varys
I do not make dwarf jokes.
Tyrion
You think them.
VARYS sighs.
Varys
So, the fleet. It's been burned.
Grey Worm
We are searching for the men who burned the ships, but nobody saw anything.
Tyrion
Surely there's some good news lurking somewhere.
Varys
Astapor and Yunkai have stopped asking us for aid.
Tyrion
Perhaps they can tell us their secret.
Varys
The Masters have retaken both cities. Outside of Meereen, the whole of Slaver's Bay has returned to the slavers.
Tyrion
What about the dragons? We have two of them here beneath the pyramid.
Missandei
They are not eating. They haven't touched any food since Queen Daenerys left.
Tyrion
Daenerys is the dragon queen. Can't very well let the dragons starve, that's obvious.
Grey Worm
If a dragon does not want to eat, how do you force him to eat?
Tyrion
Dragons do not do well in captivity.
Missandei
How do you know this?
Tyrion
That's what I do. I drink and I know things.
TYRION finishes his glass of wine and walks over to the pitcher to pour himself another glass.
Tyrion
The dragons Aegon used to conquer Westeros ranged over hundreds of miles. Then Daenerys's ancestors started chaining them up in pens. A few generations later, the last dragons were no larger than cats. They must be unchained or they'll waste away. Missandei, how many times were you in the company of these dragons?
Missandei
Many times.
Tyrion
And did they ever harm you?
Missandei
Never.
Tyrion
Dragons are intelligent. More intelligent than men according to some maesters. They have affection for their friends and fury for their enemies. I am their friend.
Varys
Do they know that?
Tyrion
They will. It's time they had their supper.

VISERION lights a fire in his mouth and roars at TYRION. RHAEGAL approaches with a small roar.
Tyrion (to Rhaegal)
I'm friends with your mother. I'm here to help. Don't eat the help.
TYRION chuckles nervously. RHAEGAL growls at TYRION. TYRION approaches cautiously.
Tyrion
When I was a child an uncle asked what gift I wanted for my name day. I begged him for one of you. "It wouldn't even have to be a big dragon," I told him. "It could be little, like me."
TYRION sets down his torch and gets closer to RHAEGAL.
Tyrion
Everyone laughed like it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. Then my father told me the last dragon had died a century ago. I cried myself to sleep that night.
TYRION touches RHAEGAL on the neck.
Tyrion
But here you are.
TYRION takes hold of the piston keeping RHAEGAL's shackle closed and pulls it free. The shackle falls the ground. TYRION turns around to see VISERION growling at him. VISERION exposes his neck to TYRION. TYRION approaches and releases the piston from VISERION's shackle. RHAEGAL and VISERION return to the shadows. TYRION picks up his torch and hurries up the steps.
Tyrion
Next time I have an idea like that, punch me in the face.

Waif
What's your name?
ARYA grabs her staff and rushes to her feet. The WAIF smacks ARYA in the face, drawing blood. ARYA approaches the sound of the WAIF's voice, but the WAIF has already moved to the side.
Waif
What's your name?
Arya
No one.
Waif
I don't believe that.

Jaqen
Who are you?
Arya
No one.
Jaqen
If a girl says her name, a man will let her sleep under a roof tonight.
Arya
A girl has no name.
Jaqen
If a girl says her name, a man will feed her tonight.
Arya
A girl has no name.
Jaqen
If a girl says her name, a man will give her eyes back.

Leave it. A girl is not a beggar anymore.

ROOSE, RAMSAY, and LORD KARSTARK are gathered at the dining table, talking. RAMSAY and LORD KARSTARK are standing, while ROOSE remains seated at the head of the table.
Lord Karstark
He came upon the bodies on our way here.
Roose
Half a dozen men? Your best hunters?
Ramsay
They obviously had help.
Roose
I didn't think lady Sansa killed them all by herself. Thank you for this report, Lord Kastark.
Ramsay
We know where she's going. Her brother's at Castle Black.
Lord Karstark
Ned Stark's last surviving son?
Roose
Jon Snow is a bastard, not a Stark.
Ramsay
So was I, Father.
Lord Karstark
Your hold on the North will never be secure as long as a Stark can walk through that door.
Ramsay
Castle Black isn't defended on the southern side. And the few men left are barely men at all. Farm boys and thieves. With a small force we could storm the castle, kill Jon Snow --
Roose
Murder the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch? You'd unite every house in the North against us.
Ramsay
We don't need every house in the North. The Umbers, the Manderlys, and the Karstarks. command more soldiers than all the other houses combined. With their support, none could challenge us.
Lord Karstark
The Starks lost my house the day King Rob cut off my father's head. It's time for new blood in the North.
ROOSE looks at both his son and lord Karstark. He gets up and stands in front of them.
Roose
If you acquire a reputation as a mad dog, you'll be treated as a mad dog. Taken out back and slaughtered for pig feed.
MAESTER WOLKAN enters and interrupts them.
Maester Wolkan
My lords. Lady Walda has given birth. A boy. Red-cheeked and healthy.
Lord Karstark
My congratulations, Lord Bolton.
RAMSAY steps towards his father. They hug.
Ramsey
Congratulations, Father. I look forward to meeting my new brother.
ROOSE puts his hand on RAMSAY's shoulder.
Roose
You'll always be my firstborn.
Ramsay
Thank you for saying that. It means a great deal to me.
RAMSAY stabs ROOSE in the gut with a knife. ROOSE falls to the ground. ROOSE dies. RAMSAY steps away from ROOSE and cleans his knife.
Ramsay
Maester Wolkan, send ravens to all the Northern houses. Roose Bolton is dead. Poisoned by our enemies.
MAESTER WOLKAN does not respond.
Ramsay
How did he die?
Maester Wolkan
Poisoned by his enemies.
Lord Karstark
You're talking to your lord. Use respect.
Maester Wolkan
Forgive me, my lord.
Ramsay
Send for Lady Walda and the baby.
Maester Wolkan
She's resting, my lord.
RAMSAY glares at MAESTER WOLKAN.
Maester Wolkan
At once, my lord.

I am Lord Bolton.

THEON is gathering wood. He glances at SANSA and BRIENNE, who are in conversation. PODRICK is making a fire.
Brienne
I saw her with a man. I don't think he hurt her. She didn't want to leave him, he didn't want to leave her.
Sansa
You don't know which way she went?
Brienne
I spent three days looking for her. She disappeared.
Sansa
How did she look?
Brienne
She looked good. She wasn't exactly dressed like a lady.
SANSA smiles.
Sansa
No, she wouldn't be.
Brienne
What happened at Winterfell?
SANSA pauses and tears up.
Sansa
I should've gone with you while I had the chance.
Brienne
It was a difficult choice, my lady.
BRIENNE looks at THEON.
Brienne
We've all had to make difficult choices.
THEON stands up and walks away from PODRICK. SANSA stands and walks to THEON.
Theon
We shouldn't be lighting fires. It's not safe. He won't stop hunting us.
Sansa
We just have to make it to Castle Black. Once we're with Jon, Ramsay won't be able to touch us.
Theon
Jon will have me killed the moment I step through the gate.
Sansa
I won't let him. I'll tell him the truth about Bran and Rickon.
Theon
And the truth about the farm boys I killed in their place? The truth about Ser Rodrik, who I beheaded?
SANSA looks to the ground.
Theon
And the truth about Rob, who I betrayed?
Sansa
When you take the black, all your crimes are forgiven.
Theon
I don't want to be forgiven. I can never make amends to your family for all the things that I've done. They'll keep you safer than I ever could.
Sansa
You're not coming with us?
Theon
I would have taken you all the way to the Wall. I would have died to get you there.
SANSA hugs THEON. They both cry.
Theon
May I take one of the horses?
Sansa
Where will you go?
Theon
Home.

YARA and BALON are standing and speaking. BALON stands at the fireplace with his back to YARA.
Yara
The Glovers have retaken Deepwood Motte.
Balon
And the Ironborn who held it?
Yara
They died fighting to a man.
Balon
What is dead may never die.
Yara
What is dead may never die.
YARA places the piece of paper she was reading from on a table.
Yara
But they did and our invasion died with them. Deepwood Motte was our last stronghold on the mainland.
Balon
They we will take more.
Yara
Why? For more pinecones and rocks?
BALON turns around to face YARA.
Balon
Because I order it.
Yara
We can defeat anyone at sea, but we'll never hold lands and castles against mainland armies.
BALON walks to YARA.
Balon
Not if our captains defy my orders, abandon their posts, and sacrifice our men on foolish mission.
Yara
I won't apologize for trying to rescue Theon.
Balon
Then where is he?
Yara
Where is your kingdom? We took those castles because the northerners marched off to war. That war is over. The last time we provoked them too far, I watched from that window as they breached our walls and knocked down our towers. I lost two brothers that day.
Balon
And I lost three sons. The War of the Five Kings, they call it. Well, the other four are dead. When you rule the Iron Islands, you can wage all the peace you wan. But for now, shut your mouth and obey or I will make another heir who will.
BALON exits the hall.

Rain is pouring down. BALON begins to cross the unsteady bridge. He leans on the ropes and looks down at the ocean, then sees a cloaked figure on the other side of the bridge.
Balon
Let me pass. You fool, move aside for your king.
Hooded Figure
Haven't I always, brother?
The hooded figure takes off his hood, revealing his identity. He is EURON GREYJOY. BALON walks a few steps closer.
Balon
I thought you'd be rotting under some foreign sea by now.
Euron
What is dead may never die.
BALON does not respond.
Euron
Has the custom changed since I've been gone? Aren't you supposed to repeat the words?
Balon
You can mock our god without my help.
Euron
I don't mock the Drowned God. I am the Drowned God. From Oldtown to Qarth, when men see my sails, they pray.
The wind buffets the bridge back and forth. BALON tries to hold his balance. EURON chuckles.
Euron
You're old, brother. You've had your time. Now let another rule.
BALON walks towards his brother.
Balon
I heard you lost your mind during the storm on the Jade Sea. They tied you to the mast to keep you from jumping overboard.
Euron
They did.
Balon
And when the storm passed, you cut out their tongues.
Euron
I needed silence.
Balon
What kind of an Ironborn loses his senses during a storm?
Euron
I am the storm, brother. The first storm and the last. And you're in my way.
BALON draws a knife and slashes EURON across the face. EURON throws BALON off the bridge. BALON falls to his death.

Many Ironborn are in attendance for BALON's funeral. AERON GREYJOY and several Drowned Men are gathered around BALON's body. They are performing funeral rites, covering it with rocks, seaweed, and wood. YARA approaches. YARA and the Drowned Men walk BALON's body through the shallows.
Aeron
Lord, take your servant Balon back beneath the waves. Feed the creatures of your kingdom on his flesh. Pull his bones down to your depths to rest beside his ancestors and his children.
All
What is dead may never die.
Yara
I'm going to find out who did this. I'm going to feed them to the sharks while they live. I swear it by the Salt Throne.
Aeron
The Salt Throne is not yours to swear upon, not unless the kingsmoot chooses you.
Yara
My father would've wanted me to rule.
Aeron
Your father does not get to choose. The law is clear. Perhaps you'll win. Perhaps you'll be the first woman in history to rule the Ironborn. And perhaps not.INT. CASTLE BLACK - MELISANDRE'S CHAMBERMELISANDRE is sitting at the fireplace. Someone knocks on the door.
Melisandre
Come in.
DAVOS enters.
Davos
I'm sorry, my lady. I didn't mean to interrupt.
Melisandre
You interrupt nothing.
DAVOS looks at the fireplace and then at MELISANDRE.
Davos
I assume you know why I'm here.
Melisandre
I will after you tell me.
Davos
It's about the Lord Commander.
Melisandre
The former Lord Commander.
Davos
Does he have to be?
MELISANDRE looks at DAVOS.
Melisandre
What are you asking?
Davos
Do you know of any magic...that could help him? Bring him back?
Melisandre
If you want to help him, leave him be.
Davos
Can it be done?
Melisandre
There are some with his power.
Davos
How?
Melisandre
I don't know.
Davos
Have you seen it done?
Melisandre
I met a man who came back from the dead, but the priest who did it -- It shouldn't have been possible.
Davos
But it was. It could be now.
Melisandre
Not for me.
MELISANDRE stands and walks away from her chair. DAVOS walks towards her.
Davos
Not for you? I saw you drink poison that should've killed you. I saw you give birth to a demon made of shadows.
Melisandre
Everything I believed, the great victory I saw in the flames, all of it was a lie.
MELISANDRE looks at DAVOS.
Melisandre
You were right all along. The Lord never spoke to me.
Davos
Fuck him, then. Fuck all of them. I'm not a devout man, obviously. Seven Gods, drowned gods, tree gods, it's all the same.
DAVOS comes a step closer to MELISANDRE
Davos
I'm not asking the Lord of Light for help.I'm asking the woman who showed me that miracles exist.
Melisandre
I never had this gift.
Davos
Have you ever tried?

DAVOS, TORMUND, DOLOROUS EDD, and MELISANDRE are gathered around JON SNOW's body. GHOST is sleeping on the floor. MELISANDRE is performing a ritual on JON SNOW's body. She wrings out a wet cloth with which she cleans out the wounds of JON SNOW. She cuts his hair and beard and throws the hairs in a firepit. Then she places her hands on JON SNOW's chest and utters an incantation in Valyrian. She sighs.
Melisandre
Please.
MELISANDRE lets her hands down slowly. She has tears in her eyes and looks to DAVOS. TORMUND scoffs and exits, followed by MELISANDRE and DOLOROUS EDD. DAVOS lingers and stares at JON SNOW's body, but eventually exits. GHOST suddenly wakes up and looks at JON SNOW. JON SNOW's eyes snap open and he gasps for breath.CREDITS
