Lady Crane
My son. My firstborn son. My child king, hush. Listen to the gods, for you they sing. Fight no more, sweet child. Your wars are won. The wolves are buried and the false stag done. Shut your blue eyes, my love. Let the crown fall. The Father above beckons you into his hall. In Seventh Heaven I'll see you once more. But now I seek vengeance on Sansa the whore and my brother the Imp who killed his own king. Born amongst lions, our curse from within. I will slay him, I swear. With noose or with knife, though it take me a fortnight, a moon, or my life.
The crowd cheers. LADY CRANE and CLARENZO stand and bow. LADY CRANE makes her way backstage. She takes off her wig and sits down at her table in the actors' break room, wiping her eyes. She takes her bottle of rum and begins to pour herself a glass but stops when she hears a rustling from behind a clothing rack. She stands and walks over to the clothing rack, then parts the clothes. ARYA is lying on the ground behind the rack, bleeding from her stomach.
Scene 2

Cut To: Braavos - Lady Crane's Apartment

70 lines
ARYA is lying in bed. LADY CRANE sits beside her, treating her wounds.
Arya
You're good at that. Where did you learn?
Lady Crane
I'm a jealous woman. I've always liked bad men and they've always liked me. They'd come home wherever home was that night stinking of some whore's perfume.
LADY CRANE stands and carries her tray of medical supplies into the abutting room.
Lady Crane
So we'd fight and I'd put a hole in them. And then I'd feel terrible, so I'd patch them up. I got good at patching them up.
Arya
And good at putting holes in them.
LADY CRANE chuckles. ARYA smiles.
Lady Crane
And that.
Arya
What happened to the actress? The one who wanted you dead.
Lady Crane
Bianca.
LADY CRANE spoons soup into a bowl and carries it back to ARYA.
Lady Crane
She'll have a hard time finding work as an actress after what I did to her face.
LADY CRANE hands ARYA the bowl. ARYA takes it and slurps, then scrunches up her face.
Arya
Mmm.
Lady Crane
I never did learn to cook. But eat. Eat. You need it. The company is moving on to Pentos soon. You should come with us.
Arya
I can't.
Lady Crane
Why not? Got a feeling you'd be good at this sort of work. And besides, we need a new actress.
Arya
I don't think I could remember all of the lines.
Lady Crane
Come with us. What's left for you here?
Arya
You wouldn't be safe. Not while she's looking for me.
Lady Crane
Who?
Arya
She doesn't have a name.
Lady Crane
Where will you go?
Arya
Essos is east and Westeros is west. But what's west of Westeros?
Lady Crane
I don't know.
Arya
Nobody does. That's where all the maps stop.
Lady Crane
The edge of the world, maybe.
Arya
I'd like to see that.
ARYA is afflicted with pain from her wound. LADY CRANE stands and pours a milky white liquid into a glass.
Arya
What's that?
Lady Crane
Milk of the poppy.
Arya
I don't want any.
LADY CRANE hands ARYA the glass.
Lady Crane
Sleep is the only way you'll heal. Trust me, if my soup didn't kill you, nothing will.
ARYA takes the glass, stares into it, and then drinks it down. She lays back and LADY CRANE tucks her in. ARYA falls asleep. LADY CRANE touches her hand and dims the candlelight.EXT. RIVERLANDS - WOODSFour men are sitting around a small campfire, two young and two middle-aged. One of the middle-aged men is named GATINS.
Man
Thing about Gatins, right, is he used to be pretty.
Gatins
I was a famous kisser. You lads know how to kiss proper?
The young men look at each other.
Young Man
Course we do.
Gatins
This is for masters, this technique. You're not ready.
Young Man #2
I'm ready.
Man
He says he's ready.
Gatins
All right.
GATINS stands and walks over to YOUNG MAN #2. YOUNG MAN #2 stands.
Gatins
Now, pay attention. You put your left hand on the back of the lady's head.
GATINS puts his left hand on the back of YOUNG MAN #2's head.
Gatins
Your right hand holds the small of the lady's back like so.
GATINS puts his right hand on the small of YOUNG MAN #2's back.
Gatins
Very romantic. Take your middle finger, yeah, and you jam it right up her bunghole.
GATINS shoves his hand down the back of YOUNG MAN #2's pants. YOUNG MAN #2 flails and pulls away. The other middle-aged man bursts out laughing. GATINS smells his finger.
Man
So fucking close!
Gatins
Ah, it smells like pussy to me.
Man
Look at him. You get hard, boy?
Young Man #2
Fuck you! Disgusting old twats.
GATINS sits back down next to the fire. YOUNG MAN #2 remains standing, fixing his pants. SANDOR appears, carrying an ax. He is walking towards YOUNG MAN #2. YOUNG MAN #2 has his back turned to him.
Young Man #2
Got off on that, did you, you old fuck?
The other three men spot SANDOR coming. They stand. YOUNG MAN #2 turns around to see what's coming. SANDOR growls and decapitates him. SANDOR approaches the second young man and drives his ax into his chest. The middle-aged man approaches SANDOR from behind with a sword. SANDOR spins around and slices his throat open. SANDOR lunges at GATINS and drives his axe into his groin, then rips it away. Blood spills out and GATINS falls to his knees, whimpering. SANDOR puts his hand on GATINS' head, forcing him to look up.
Sandor
Where's the other one? The one with the yellow cloak.
Gatins
Fuck you!
Sandor
Those are your last words, fuck you? Come on, you can do better.
Gatins
Cunt!
Sandor
You're shit at dying, you know that?
SANDOR raises the ax above his head, growls, and buries it into GATINS.EXT. MEEREEN - MARKETPLACEThe courtyard is filled with people of all types. People are buying, selling, and renovating. In one area, a red priestess is preaching to a crowd.
Red Priestess (speaking Valyrian)
From the fire she was reborn to remake the world. Daenerys is a gift from the Lord of Light to her children. If we are steadfast in our love for the Queen and her faithful advisors, no man will ever lock us in chains again.
TYRION and VARYS enter, walking together through the courtyard. TYRION smiles.
Tyrion
I'd call that a successful gambit.
Varys
Would you?
Tyrion
Look around. The city has come back to life.
Varys
You made a pact with fanatics.
Tyrion
I did and it worked.
Scene 3

Varys
If you shaved your beard with a straight razor, you'd say the razor worked. That doesn't mean it won't cut your throat.
Tyrion
Spoken like a man who has never had to shave.
TYRION and VARYS stop walking and stare out through an archway at the harbor.
Tyrion
I'm going to miss you.
Varys
I know.
Tyrion
I hope you're right about this expedition of yours.
Varys
If I don't return, you'll know I was wrong.
TYRION broods. VARYS looks at him.
Varys
We need friends in Westeros. And we need ships.
Tyrion
Most of all, we need our queen.
Varys
She'll come back. She has to. My heart's been broken too many times already.
VARYS pats TYRION on the shoulder.
Varys
I'll walk the rest of the way myself. I can't go off on a secret mission in the company of the most famous dwarf in the city.
TYRION smiles. VARYS walks on.
Tyrion
Varys.
VARYS turns back and looks at TYRION.
Tyrion
The most famous dwarf in the world.
VARYS smiles and nods, then walks out into the harbor. TYRION walks back through the courtyard.INT. RED KEEP - CERSEI'S CHAMBERCERSEI is sitting at a table, drinking. There is a knock on the door. QYBURN enters. GREGOR is standing out in the hall.
Qyburn
Your Grace, several members of the Faith Militant have been permitted entry to the Red Keep.
Cersei
Have been permitted? That's rather a tortured way of putting it.
Qyburn
They demand to see you, Your Grace.
Cersei
Who permitted them inside the Red Keep?
QYBURN says nothing.
Cersei
The king is aware of their presence?
Qyburn
He is, Your Grace. He's currently in his chambers at prayer.
CERSEI stands and walks past QYBURN out into the hall. QYBURN bows to her as she passes, then follows her out with GREGOR in tow. At the bottom of the steps, LANCEL and a group of Faith Militant are waiting. CERSEI, QYBURN, and GREGOR approach them. One of the Faith Militant stares up at GREGOR.
Lancel
Your Grace, His Holiness the High Septon wishes to speak with you at the Great Sept of Baelor.
Cersei
His Holiness the High Septon is welcome to see me here in the Red Keep.
Lancel
Your Grace, this is not a request.
Cersei
It is a request, Cousin Lancel. You are asking me for something, I'm refusing.
Lancel
The High Septon commands you. Are you sure you want to refuse him?
Cersei
He promised me I could stay in the Red Keep until my trial.
Lancel
He made no such promises. If you refuse to come of your own free will- -
Cersei
Get out.
LANCEL nods at the Faith Militant. Two of them advance with spikes clubs. GREGOR steps in front of CERSEI.
Lancel (to Gregor)
Move aside, ser.
GREGOR silently stares out from behind his helmet.
Lancel (to Cersei)
Order your man to step aside or there will be violence.
Cersei
I choose violence.
One of the Faith Militant swings his club into GREGOR's chestplate. GREGOR is unaffected. The club is stuck in the metal of the armor and the Faith Militant man struggles to wrench it free. He pulls it loose and reels back for another swing, but GREGOR takes him by the throat with one hand and lifts him up off the ground. LANCEL and the other Faith Militant regroup in the courtyard. The man in GREGOR's grasp gasps and drops his club. GREGOR tosses him out into the courtyard, then follows him out. GREGOR kneels over the man, grabs him by the jaw, and rips his head off. LANCEL looks around at the other Faith Militant. CERSEI smiles.
Cersei
Please tell His High Holiness he's always welcome to visit.
CERSEI, QYBURN, and GREGOR turn to walk back up the steps.EXT. RIVERRUNBRIENNE and PODRICK arrive on horseback. They stare out at the Lannister/Frey encampment from an overlooking hill.
Podrick
Looks like a siege, my lady.
Brienne
You have a keen military mind, Pod.
BRIENNE spots JAIME riding a white horse among his men.
Podrick
My lady. My lady.
Several Lannister soldiers ride towards BRIENNE and PODRICK, and then encircle them.
Man
Who goes there? State your business!
Brienne
My name is Brienne of Tarth. Please inform Ser Jaime Lannister I've come to speak with him. Tell him I have his sword.
Scene 4

Cut To: Riverrun - Lannister-Frey Encampment

29 lines
PODRICK watches Lannister soldiers riding through the encampment. His is choked from behind by an unknown man who reveals himself to be BRONN.
Bronn
Getting a bit old to be a squire, aren't we?
BRONN releases PODRICK. PODRICK coughs. BRONN laughs and slaps PODRICK on the shoulder.
Bronn
Podrick fucking Payne. I thought you'd be dead by now.
Podrick
Not yet.
BRONN laughs and motions to a nearby tent.
Bronn
Are they in there?
Podrick
Mm-hmm.
Bronn
You think they're fucking?
Podrick
What? No.
Bronn
Why not? I'd fuck her. You'd fuck her, wouldn't you?
Podrick
I'm her squire.
Bronn
Oh. Well, he'd fuck her, that's for sure. And she's fuck him, don't you think? The way she looks at him. The way all women look at him is frankly irritating. I preferred working with the little brother on that account. Come on, you're the one with the magic cock.
BRONN grabs PODRICK's crotch.
Bronn
You must have shown it to her by now.
Podrick
She's training me to fight.
Bronn
Is she? Oh.
Podrick
An hour in the morning, and hour at night. Every day.
Bronn
Then how come an old cunt like me can still sneak up and murder you?
Podrick
Well, that's a different sort of fighting.
Bronn
Now, that's the truth, isn't it? You want to learn that sort of fighting?
PODRICK smiles and nods.
Bronn
All right, let's start with your footwork.
BRONN stands across from PODRICK.
Bronn
Show me your stance.
PODRICK postures up.
Bronn
Now, listen to me, Pod. See how your feet are about a yard apart?
PODRICK looks down at his feet. BRONN slaps him across the face.
Bronn
Lesson number one, assume everyone wants to hit you. 'Cause they do, Pod. Everyone wants to hit a fucking squire. Do it again. Come on, don't sulk.
Scene 5

Cut To: Jaime's Tent

45 lines
BRIENNE and JAIME stand across from each other.
Jaime
I never thought you'd find her. I just assumed Sansa was dead.
Brienne
Why would you assume that?
Jaime
In my experience, girls like her don't live very long.
Brienne
I don't think you know many girls like her.
Jaime
Well, I'm proud of you. I am. You fulfilled your oath to Catelyn Stark against all odds.
JAIME walks around the room and comes to a stop on BRIENNE's other side. BRIENNE turns to face him.
Jaime
Of course my sister wants Sansa dead. The girl is still a suspect in Joffrey's murder, so there is that complication. What the hell are you doing here?
Brienne
I've come for the Blackfish.
Jaime
You're welcome to have him.
Brienne
Lady Sansa desires to take her ancestral seat back from the Boltons and assume her rightful position as Lady of Winterfell.
Jaime
With what army does she plan on taking Winterfell?
Brienne
The Tully army.
Jaime
They're a bit occupied at the moment. I was sent here to reclaim Riverrun currently defended by the Tully rebels, so you can see the conundrum.
Brienne
The Tullys are rebels because they're fighting for their home?
Jaime
Riverrun was granted to the Freys by royal decree.
Brienne
As a reward for betraying Robb Stark and slaughtering his family.
Jaime
Exactly.
JAIME and BRIENNE stare at each other.
Jaime
We shouldn't argue about politics.
Brienne
You're a knight, Ser Jaime. I know there is honor in you. I've seen it myself.
Jaime
I'm a Lannister. Don't ask me to betray my own house.
Brienne
I do no such thing. Take Riverrun without bloodshed. Ride south with your mission complete and your army intact.
Jaime
What do you propose?
Brienne
Allow me to enter Riverrun under a flag of truce. Let me try to persuade the Blackfish to give up the castle.
Jaime
Why would he abandon his ancestral home?
Brienne
Because you'll allow him to lead the Tully forces safely north.
Jaime
Have you ever met the Blackfish?
Brienne
No.
Jaime
He's even more stubborn than you are.
BRIENNE looks down. JAIME walks back around the table to BRIENNE's other side.
Jaime
All right. Try to talk some sense into the old goat. He won't listen, but his men might. Not everybody wants to die for someone else's home.
Brienne
I need your word. If I persuade him to abandon the castle, you'll grant us safe passage north.
Jaime
You have my word. You have until nightfall.
BRIENNE nods and undoes her sword belt. She hands Oathkeeper to JAIME. JAIME sighs.
Brienne
You gave it to me for a purpose. I've achieved that purpose.
Jaime
It's yours. It will always be yours.
BRIENNE stares into JAIME's eyes, then ties Oathkeeper back on her waist and begins to walk out. JAIME follows her to the entrance of the tent. BRIENNE turns back.
Brienne
one last thing, Ser Jaime.
Jaime
Yes, Lady Brienne?
Brienne
Should I fail to persuade the Blackfish to surrender, and if you attack the castle, honor compels me to fight for Sansa's kin.
Jaime
Of course it does.
Brienne
To fight you.
Jaime
Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
BRIENNE and JAIME stare into each other's eyes. BRIENNE exits. JAIME watches her go.
Scene 6

Cut To: Riverrun - Outer Wall

70 lines
BRIENNE and PODRICK follow BRYNDEN holding a piece of parchment as he walks along the walls of Riverrun.
Brynden
I've said no three times already.
Brienne
I have a signed letter from your niece Sansa Stark.
Brynden
I haven't seen her since she was a child. I don't know her signature. I don't know you. And I will not surrender.
BRYNDEN turns to one of his soldiers.
Brynden
Double the guards tonight.
BRYNDEN looks out at the Lannister/Frey encampment.
BRYNDEL The Kingslayer wants to try us. I can feel it.
BRYNDEN turns on his heel and walks inside. BRIENNE and PODRICK follow him.
Brienne
As I have said, my name is- -
Brynden
Yes, Brienne of Tarth. I know your father. A good man.
Brienne
He always spoke highly of you.
Brynden
And if he were here now, I'd tell him the same I'm telling you.
BRYNDEN makes his way down a set of steps.
Brynden
If you think I'm abandoning my family's seat on the Kingslayer's word of honor, you're a bloody fool.
Brienne
Riverrun cannot stand against the Lannisters and the Freys.
Brynden
We can stand longer than your one-handed friend thinks we can.
BRYNDEN, BRIENNE, and PODRICK emerge into Riverrun's main courtyard.
Brienne
He's not my friend.
Brynden
No?
BRYNDEN stops and turns back to face BRIENNE.
Brynden
Who gave you permission to cross the siege line and enter the castle? Who gave you that sword with the gold lion on the pommel?
Brienne
Ser Jaime kept his word to your niece Catelyn Stark. He sent me to find Sansa, to help her as Catelyn wanted. He gave me this sword to protect her. That is what I have done and I will continue to do until the day I die.
BRIENNE holds out the piece of parchment to BRYNDEN. BRYNDEN takes it, unfolds it, and reads its contents. He smiles and chuckles under his breath.
Brynden
She's exactly like her mother.
BRIENNE smiles. BRYNDEN turns back to face her.
Brynden
I don't have enough men to help her take Winterfell.
Brienne
You have more than she does.
Brynden
She wants her home back. I understand that. But this is my home. And if Jaime Lannister wants it, he can bloody well take it the way everyone else does.
BRYNDEN hands the letter back to BRIENNE. She takes it. BRYNDEN walks away.
Brienne (to Podrick)
Find the maester. We need to get a raven north to Sansa.
Podrick
What should I write?
Brienne
Tell her I failed.INT. RED KEEP - THRONE ROOMA crowd of nobles fills the throne room. CERSEI enters, followed by QYBURN and GREGOR. The crowd stares at them and parts to let them pass. They approach the throne. TOMMEN, KEVAN, and MAESTER PYCELLE stand atop the steps to the throne. KEVAN walks down the steps and confronts CERSEI.
Cersei
There's to be a royal announcement?
Kevan
There is.
Cersei
Why wasn't I informed?
Kevan
There is to be a royal announcement in the throne room at this very moment.
CERSEi starts up the steps but KEVAN blocks her with his arm.
Kevan
Where are you going?
Cersei
To stand by my son.
Kevan
Your place is in the gallery with the other ladies of the court.
CERSEI stares at TOMMEN. TOMMEN looks away. MAESTER PYCELLE whispers to him. CERSEI, QYBURN, and GREGOR move to one of the nearby balconies. TOMMEN sits on the Iron Throne and addresses the crowd.
Tommen
Lords and ladies, the Faith and the Crown are the two pillars that hold up this world. One collapses, so does the other. The Father judges us all. If you break his laws...you will be punished. After conferring with His Holiness the High Septon, we have determined that Loras Tyrell and Cersei lannister's trial will be held in the Great Sept of Baelor on the first day of the Festival of the Mother.
Members of the crowd murmur to one another.
Tommen
Furthermore, after much prayer and reflection, the Crown has decided that from this day forward, trial by combat will be forbidden throughout the Seven Kingdoms. The tradition is a brutish one, a scheme devised by corrupt rulers in order to avoid true judgment from the gods. Cersei Lannister and Loras Tyrell will stand trial before seven septons as it was in the earliest days of the Faith. Seven blessings to all.
Crowd
Seven blessings.
TOMMEN stands and makes his way out of the hall, accompanied by the goldcloaks. CERSEI watches him leave. QYBURN walks up beside CERSEi and whispers to her.
Qyburn
Your Grace...that old rumor you told me about. My little birds investigated.
Cersei
And? Was it just a rumor or something more?
Qyburn
More. Much more.INT. MEEREEN - GREAT PYRAMID CONFERENCE ROOMTYRION pours himself a glass of wine. GREY WORM and MISSANDEI sit across from him.
Missandei
You seem happy.
Tyrion
I am happy. You should both be as well. Not so long ago, this city was ready to devour itself.
TYRION puts down his glass of wine on a table and pours another glass of wine.
Tyrion
Now it's like a man reborn.
Missandei
I will be happy when our queen returns.
Tyrion
Why don't you drink? Why don't either of you ever drink?
TYRION pours a third glass of wine.
Grey Worm
Unsullied never drink.
Tyrion
Why not?
Grey Worm
Rules.
Tyrion
And who made these rules? Your former masters?
GREY WORM and MISSANDEI look at each other.
Tyrion
Those miserable old shits didn't want you to be human. Have a drink with me.
TYRION hands GREY WORM one of the glasses of wine. GREY WORM takes it.
Tyrion (to Missandei)
And you? What's your excuse?
GREY WORM sniffs his glass of wine and scrunches up his face. TYRION hands MISSANDEI the second glass of wine. She takes it.
Missandei
I have tried wine before. It made me feel funny.
Tyrion
That's how you know it's working.
TYRION returns to his glass of wine and raises it up.
Tyrion
Here's to our queen. Anyone not drinking is disrespecting our queen.
Scene 7

Scene 7

42 lines
GREY WORM and MISSANDEI raise their glasses.
Tyrion
To Daenerys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, long may she reign.
Grey Worm & Missandei
Long may she reign.
GREY WORM and MISSANDEI sip from their glasses. TYRION drinks all of his.
Tyrion
Do you like it?
Grey Worm
Tastes like it has turned.
TYRION walks to another decanter on the opposite side of the room and pours himself another glass of wine.
Tyrion
Yes, yes. Fermentation. One day, after our queen has taken the Seven Kingdoms...I'd like to have my own vineyard. Make my own wine. The Imp's Delight. Only my close friends could drink it.
TYRION sips his wine.
Tyrion
Tell me a joke, Missandei of Naath.
TYRION walks back in front of GREY WORM and MISSANDEI.
Missandei
I do not know any jokes.
Tyrion
Grey worm?
GREY WORM stares and says nothing.
Tyrion
Right. Three lords walk into a tavern- - a Stark, a Martell, and a Lannister. They order ale...
MISSANDEI sips her wine.
Tyrion
...but when the barkeep brings them over, each of them finds a fly in his cup. The Lannister, outraged, shoves the cup aside and demands another. The Martell plucks the fly out and swallows it whole. The Stark reaches into his cup, pulls out the fly and shouts, "Spit it out, you see shit. Spit it out."
GREY WORM and MISSANDEI do not laugh.
Tyrion
It's funnier in Westeros.
Grey Worm
The Starks and the lannisters, i thought these were enemies.
Tyrion
Yes.
Missandei
A joke is like a story, Torgo Nudho. Not a true story, necessarily.
Tyrion
A story that's supposed to make you laugh, ideally. Not at the moment, perhaps.
MISSANDEI sips her wine again.
Tyrion
Missandei, do you like the wine?
Missandei
I do.
Tyrion
Tell a joke.
Missandei
Two translators are on a sinking ship.
TYRION smiles.
Missandei
The first says, "Do you know how to swim?" The second says, "No, but I can shout for help in 19 languages."
There is a pause.
TYRION Ah!
TYRION begins to laugh. MISSANDEI smiles and sips her wine.
Grey Worm
That is the worst joke I ever heard.
Missandei
You don't even know what a joke is.
Grey Worm
I am soldier all my life. You think I never hear joke?
Tyrion
You lied to us.
Grey Worm
I make joke.
MISSANDEI and TYRION laugh. GREY WORM smiles.
Missandei
More jokes.
Tyrion
I once walked into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass. The madam says- -
Bells begin to ring. GREY WORM stands and runs out of the room, shouting in Valyrian.
Scene 8

Cut To: Meereen - Great Pyramid Shoreline

A fleet of white-sailed ships approaches Meereen. TYRION and MISSANDEI stare at at the ships.
Missandei
The Masters have come for their property.EXT. RIVERRUN - LANNISTER/FREY ENCAMPMENTJAIME rides horseback through the encampment, approaches a tent, dismounts, and enters.
Jaime
Lord Edmure.
EDMURE's hands are behind his back, his wrists bound around a vertical pole in the center of the tent. He is kneeling.
Jaime
I apologize for the way the Freys treated you. A man of your birth deserved better. You have my word you'll be properly fed and clothes from now on.
EDMURE stands.
Edmure
I have your word?
EDMURE scoffs.
Edmure
Oh, good. Good, that's- - that's a fine thing. My uncle will never surrender the castle, ser. Whatever game you're playing.
Jaime
The Blackfish is an old man. A good death is all he can hope for. But you, you have a child now, I've heard. A son you sired on your wedding night. You're a potent man.
Edmure
A son I've never met born of a wife that I haven't seen since our first night together.
Jaime
You should be with them both. I can arrange that, you realize? Comfortable rooms for you at Casterly Rock. A tutor for your boy, knights to train him to fight and to ride. And when he comes of age, he'll have a keep of his own.
Edmure
Do you imagine yourself a decent person? Is that it? After you've massacred my family. Kept me in a cell for years. Stolen our lands.
Jaime
I'll remind you that our houses are at war. I'm sorry if this conflict has inconvenienced you, but rebelling against the Crown does have consequences.
Edmure
Says the man who shoved his sword through his king's back.
Jaime
Did I give you the impression that this was a negotiation? It's not.
JAIME sits on a barrel in the corner of the room.
Edmure
You understand. On some level you understand that you're an evil man.
Jaime
I'll leave the judgments to the gods.
Edmure
Well, that is convenient for you. You're a fine-looking fellow, aren't you?
EDMURE chuckles.
Edmure
Your square jaw, your golden armor. Tell me, I want to know. I truly do. How do you live with yourself? All of us have to believe that we're decent, don't we? You have to sleep at night. How do you tell yourself that you're decent after everything that you've done?
Jaime
I was your sister's prisoner once. She hit me on the head with a rock if I remember correctly.
EDMURE laughs.
Edmure
Yeah. She should have killed you.
Jaime
Perhaps, but she didn't. Catelyn Stark hated me just like you hate me. But I didn't hate her. I admired her. Far more than her husband or her son.
Edmure
Do you think I care whom you admire and whom you don't?
Jaime
No, I don't, but I'm telling you anyway because you're my prisoner. You don't have a choice. The love she had for her children, I was a little awed by it. Reminded me of my sister.
Edmure
Oh. Oh, I see. You're a madman.
Jaime
I'm not here to trade insults. Your sister was a strong- -
Edmure
Don't talk about Cat!
Jaime
I'll talk about whomever I want.
EDMURE grunts and struggles against his bindings.
Jaime
She loved her children. I suppose all mothers do, but Catelyn and Cersei, there's a fierceness you don't often see.
JAIME stands and walks closer to EDMURE.
Jaime
They'd do anything to protect their babies.
JAIME gets in EDMURE's face.
Jaime
Start a war. Burn cities to ash. Free their worst enemies. The things we do for love.
Edmure
You didn't come here to talk about our sisters.
Jaime
That's exactly why I came here. I love Cersei. You can laugh at that if you want. You can sneer. It doesn't matter. She needs me. And to get back to her, I have to take Riverrun. I'll send for your baby boy.
EDMURE struggles against his bindings, pushing himself towards JAIME.
Jaime
And I'll launch him into Riverrun with a catapult. Because you don't matter to me, Lord Edmure. Your son doesn't matter to me. The people in the castle don't matter to me. Only Cersei. And if I have to slaughter every Tully who ever lived to get back to her, that's what I'll do.
Scene 9

Cut To: Riverrun - Outer Wall

33 lines
EDMURE crosses the bridge over Riverrun's moat, carrying a torch. Several guards point crossbows down at him. He stops at the end of the bridge.
Guard Captain
Who goes there?
Edmure
Edmure Tully, son of Hoster Tully, and the rightful Lord of Riverrun. I demand entry.
BRYNDEN appears on the wall with the guards.
Brynden
Don't let him in.
Guard Captain
He's the Lord of Riverrun. I have to obey his commands.
Brynden
He's been their captive ever since they murdered his king at the Red Wedding. Why do you think the people who murdered his king at the Red Wedding would decide to let him come home? Because it's a trap, you idiot. Don't let him in.
BRYNDEN turns to walk away.
Guard Captain
He's my lord, my lord. I've sworn to serve the Lord of Riverrun and obey his commands.
BRYNDEN turns back.
Brynden
You're not obeying Edmure's commands. You're obeying the fucking Kinglsayer's commands.
Edmure (o.s.)
I demand entry.
Guard Captain
My lord has given an order.
Brynden
WIth a knife to his throat. That is not a valid order.
The guard captain turns to his fellow guards.
Guard Captain
Lower the drawbridge and open the gate for Lord Ed- -
BRYNDEN unsheathes his sword halfway. The guard captain and the other guards show their steel.
Brynden
I'll have your head before I surrender Riverrun.
Guard Captain
You are not lord of this castle, my lord.
BRYNDEN looks around at the other guards, sheathes his sword, and walks away.
Guard Captain
Lower the drawbridge!
Guard
Aye, ser!
The drawbridge begins to open. EDMURE stares back across the Lannister/Frey encampment. JAIME waits on his horse. BLACK WALDER rides up beside JAIME. The drawbridge fully extends. EDMURE walks inside.
Black Walder (to Jaime)
If you're wrong, we're just surrendered our most valuable prisoner.
The drawbridge closes behind EDMURE. Riverrun soldiers are gathered to meet him. BRYNDEN appears in the rear of their ranks. EDMURE spots BRYNDEN, hands his torch to one of the soldiers, and walks up the stairs to the top of the outer wall.
Guard Captain
Welcome home, my lord.
Edmure
Command all the forces within the castle to lay down their arms. Open the gates.
Guard Captain
My lord- -
Edmure
Your lord has given a command.
The drawbridge opens. JAIME glances at BLACK WALDER and rides towards Riverrun. The Lannister and Frey forces follow him into Riverrun.
Edmure
Find the Blackfish. Put him in irons and hand him over to the Freys.
Guard Captain (to A Guard)
Find him.
The Riverrun soldiers lay down their arms in a pile as the Lannister forces enter the castle.

BRYNDEN, PODRICK, and BRIENNE emerge from a doorway. BRYNDEN places the torch in a sconce and stands in the doorway. PODRICK gets onto a small rowboat floating on the surface of the river. BRIENNE kneels to steady the rowboat for PODRICK, then turns back to look at BRYNDEN.
Brynden
Go on.
BRYNDEN stands and faces him.
Brienne
Come with us.
Brynden
I've run before from the Red Wedding. I'm not running again. This is my family home.
Brienne
Your family is in the North. Come with us. Don't die for pride when you can fight for your blood.
Brynden
You'll serve Sansa far better than I ever could.
Some guards begin shouting in the background.
Brynden
Go on, now.
BRYNDEN unsheathes his sword.
Brynden
I haven't had a proper sword fight in years. I expect I'll make a damn fool of myself.
BRYNDEN heads through the doorway and back up the steps. BRIENNE watches him leave and then gets on the rowboat.

JAIME stands atop the outer wall. A Lannister guard enters and approaches him.
Guard
We found the Blackfish, my lord.
Jaime
Good. Bring him to me.
Guard
He died fighting, my lord.
JAIME nods to the guard. The guard exits. JAIME stares out at the river and sees BRIENNE and PODRICK rowing away from Riverrun. He looks around to see if anyone else is watching. BRIENNE looks over her shoulder and sees JAIME standing atop the wall. JAIME waves to her. BRIENNE waves back.EXT.

Cut To: Meereen - Great Pyramid Conference Room

54 lines
TYRION and MISSANDEI enter. GREY WORM is waiting for them. Many Unsullied stand guard around the room.
Tyrion
I was wrong. I admit it.
Missandei
That changes nothing.
Tyrion
The Unsullied could mount a defense off the beachhead. If the slavers' forces- -
Grey Worm
No more talking from you. Your talking gave us this.
Tyrion
And I have acknowledged that. I'm trying- -
Grey Worm
You're trying to tell me what the army should do. You do not know what the army should do.
Tyrion
All right, what should the army do?
Grey Worm
We'll not go to the beach. If we go to the beach, the Masters will take the pyramid. The pyramid is the only place in the city we can defend. We stay here.
Tyrion
And then?
Grey Worm
We wait for them to come to us. Then we fight them.
Something thuds and rattles the roof of the pyramid. Footsteps can be heard. Everyone looks up. MISSANDEI grabs a knife from a table and stands beside TYRION. GREY WORM and the Unsullied form up in front of the door to the balcony. One Unsullied opens the door. Another inches out through it, shield and spear in hand. The Unsullied man looks side to side and sees nothing, but then sees something and kneels. The rest of the Unsullied follow suit. DAENERYS enters. A dragon screeches and flies away in the background.EXT. RIVERLANDS - WOODSSANDOR walks along the center of a path through the woods, carrying an ax and a satchel. He hears horses whinnying and the voices of men. He follows the sounds and happens upon BERIC DONDARRION, THOROS OF MYR, and other members of the Brotherhood Without Banners. They are preparing to hang LEM and two of his accomplices, who stand on blocks ith nooses tied around their necks. BERIC turns to see SANDOR. Some of the Brotherhood members brandish weapons.
Beric
Clegane.
Thoros
What the fuck you doing here?
Sandor
Chasing them. You?
Thoros
Hanging them.
Sandor
Any particular reason?
Beric
They're our men. Or they were. They attacked a nearby sept and murdered the villagers. Why do you want them?
Sandor
Same reason. I was helping build it. They killed a friend of mine.
Thoros
You've got friends?
Sandor
Not anymore. They're mine.
SANDOR advances. BERIC and another member of the Brotherhood block his path.
Beric
It's the Brotherhood's good name they've dragged through the dirt.
Sandor
Fuck your name. They're mine. I killed you once before, Dondarrion. Happy to do it again.
One of the Brotherhood members notches an arrow and points his bow at SANDOR.
Sandor
Drop that arrow, you bloody girl.
SANDOR points his ax at the man but keeps his eyes locked on BERIC.
Sandor
Tougher girls than you have tried to kill me.
SANDOR walks towards the bowman.
Beric
You can have one of them.
SANDOR turns back to face BERIC, glances at the men about to be hanged, then looks back at BERIC.
Sandor
Two.
BERIC looks at THOROS. THOROS nods. BERIC nods to SANDOR. SANDOR approaches one of the men and raises his ax above his head to swing. THOROS catches the ax's handle from behind.
Thoros
No, no, no.
SANDOR turns to face THOROS and tries to wrench his ax free.
Thoros
We're not butchers. We hang them.
THOROS releases SANDOR's ax.
Sandor
hanging? All over in an instant. Where's the punishment in that?
Thoros
They die.
Sandor
We all bloody die.
SANDOR gestures to BERIC.
Sandor
Except this one here. I'll only gut one of them.
Beric
No.
Sandor
I'll chop off one hand.
Beric
We gave you two of the three out of respect for your loss. That's generous.
Sandor
Bunch of nancies.
SANDOR throws down his ax.
Sandor
There was a time I would have killed all seven of you just to gut these three.
Thoros
You're getting old, Clegane.
Sandor
He's not.
SANDOR kicks the box out from underneath one of the men, hanging him. He moves in front of LEM.
Lem
Please don't. I'll give you anything.
SANDOR kicks the box out from underneath LEM, hanging him. LEM gasps for air. BERIC hangs the third man. SANDOR pulls the boot off of LEM's foot. BERIC and THOROS begin to walk away, but turn back to look at SANDOR. SANDOR takes off his own boot and sizes up LEM's boot to his own foot. He shoves his foot into LEM's boot and looks up at BERIC and THOROS.
Sandor
Got anything to eat?
Scene 14

Cut To: Riverlands - Brotherhood Without Banners' Encampment

32 lines
Several members of the Brotherhood are sitting around small campfires. SANDOR, BERIC, and some other Brothers are sitting at one such campfire. SANDOR is eating a piece of meat. THOROS approaches and sits beside them.
Thoros (to Sandor)
Enjoying yourself?
Sandor
I prefer chicken.
THOROS hands SANDOR a water skin. SANDOR drinks from it.
Beric
You ought to join us. We could use you.
Sandor
I tried joining. Didn't work out for me.
Thoros
Clegane, we're here for a reason. The Lord of Light is keeping Beric alive for a reason. He gave a failed, drunk priest the power to bring him back for a reason. We are part of something larger than ourselves.
Sandor
Lots of horrible shit in this world gets done for something larger than ourselves.
SANDOR returns the water skin to THOROS, stands, walks to the river, and urinates into it.
Beric
Cold winds are rising in the North.
Sandor
And you're going to go stop them?
Beric
We need good men to help us.
Sandor
Last time you saw me, you wanted to execute me.
Beric
True enough. But the Lord of Light gave you the power to defeat me. Why?
SANDOR laughs.
Sandor
I beat you because I'm better than you, Beric. I was better than you before you started yammering on about the Lord and I'm better than you now.
SANDOR returns to his spot by the campfire and sits.
Beric
Aye, you're probably right. You're a fighter. You were born a fighter. You walked away from the fight. How did that go? Good and bad, young and old, the things we're fighting will destroy them all alike. You can still help a lot more than you've harmed Clegane, it's not too late for you.INT. BRAAVOS - LADY CRANE'S APARTMENTARYA is sleeping. LADY CRANE enters the bedroom, sits down beside ARYA, and strokes her face. ARYA stirs and groans. LADY CRANE stands and walks back into the abutting room. She retrieves a stool and stands atop it, reaching for a bottle on top of a bureau. She turns around and sees a young man with blonde hair. Cut to ARYA's perspective. There is a thud. ARYA awakens with a gasp and looks around. She sees a shadow moving in the abutting room.
Arya
Lady Crane?
ARYA gets out of bed and winces. She walks towards the abutting room.
Arya
Lady Crane?
ARYA enters the abutting room and sees LADY CRANE lying crumpled on top of the stool, dead. Blood is pooled on the ground beneath her.
Waif
If you'd have done your job, she would have died painlessly.
ARYA turns to see the WAIF standing in the doorway with a knife. The WAIF approaches ARYA slowly and ARYA backs away, matching her pace.
Waif
Instead…
The WAIF holds out her arms.
Waif
The Many-Faced God was promised a name. He must always receive what is his. You can't change that. I can't change that. No one can. And now he's been promised another name.
ARYA turns around, runs out onto the balcony, and jumps off. She grunts as her hands and feet connect with the ground. The sprints off through the streets, pushing people out of the way. The WAIF emerges from the door to LADY CRANE's apartment, spies ARYA, and chases after her. ARYA runs through an alleyway. A man pushes a cart in her way. She slides underneath it and continues running. The WAIF jumps clean over the cart. ARYA turns a corner and runs down a set of stairs. A woman dumps a barrel of water on the ground outside the door to a room at the bottom of the steps. ARYA sees her and darts into the room. The WAIF turns the corner to the steps but stops when she does not see ARYA. The room ARYA has entered is a sauna. She moves through it. A number of men in towels are relaxing in the heat. ARYA emerges from the door on the opposite side of the sauna and looks around. She enters the crowd, walking through it. The WAIF appears on a high wall behind her, then jumps down into the crowd. ARYA turns back to see her and runs away. The WAIF pursues her. ARYA reaches the end of the marketplace and jumps off a high wall. She lands on a large set of steps where many fruit merchants have laid their baskets. She tumbles down the steps, knocking over the baskets as she goes and grunting with pain. The crowd clamors. ARYA comes to a stop at the bottom of the steps. She puts her hand to her stomach. Her hand comes away bloody. The WAIF appears at the top of the steps. ARYA sees her, stands, and throws herself over a small wall into an alleyway. The WAIF follows her. ARYA whimpers as she moves through the alleyway. She leaves blood stains on everything she touches. She enters a small, dark room, lit by a single candle. The WAIF follows her inside, knife in hand. ARYA kneels in the small living space she has made for herself. The WAIF enters and shuts the door behind her.
Waif
It will all be over soon. On your knees or on your feet?
ARYA retrieves Needle from beneath a blanket and stands.
Waif
Haven't we been through this already? That won't help you.
The WAIF advances. ARYA holds Needle up in front of her face, closes her eyes, and cuts the candle in half. The room goes dark.

JAQEN enters the main hall. He notices a blood trail on the floor leading to the Hall of Faces. He follows the trail and enters the Hall. The trail leads to one of the columns bearing the faces. The WAIF's bloody face rests in one of the sconces.
Arya
You told her to kill me.
ARYA appears behind JAQEN, pointing Needle at him. JAQEN turns to face her.
Jaqen
Yes. But here you are. And there she is.
JAQEN pushes his chest against Needle's point.
Jaqen
Finally a girl is no one.
Arya
A girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell and I'm going home.
JAQEN smiles. ARYA turns and exits.CREDITS
