The men start walking towards the base of the mountain.
The motley brotherhood struggles through a harsh snow storm, lead by a wildling SCOUT ahead. TORMUND catches JON SNOW's attention.
In the distance, a shadowy shape is barely visible.
The bear charges towards the party, and they draw their swords. The SCOUT runs back to the party in panic, but the bear intercepts him and tackles him to the ground. JON SNOW and the brotherhood runs to where the scout has fallen, only to find a bloody patch of snow. The bear grunts nearby, and they ready themselves for battle, searching with their eyes. They form a tight circle.
The bear leaps from the snow, roaring and holding the SCOUT in his jaws. The SCOUT screams in pain as the bear mauls him. TORMUND attacks, but the. bear throws him aside. The hound checks on TORMUND while BERIC and THOROS ignite their swords and advance towards the bear. The bear savages a watchman with his jaws and throws him through the air. BERIC hews into the bear, who catches fire. The bear sets its eyes on SANDOR, who hestitates. The bear lunches, but THOROS throws himself in front of SANDOR, bracing his flaming sword in the bear's mouth, while falling to the ground. They struggle, and TORMUND comes in wildly, swinging his axe. The bear kicks him aside and returns to his battle with THOROS. SANDOR watches, while the bear wrestles the sword from his grasp, and bites viscously into THOROS's chest, and thrashes him against the ground. THOROS screams in agony and the burning bear tears into him. SANDOR begins to rise, but JORAH runs past, plunging a dagger into the bear's neck. The bear collapses.

The weather has improved, and the party moves through mountainous terrain.
JORAH closes the empty flask and wedges it back in THOROS's belt.
TORMUND leads the party, followed by JON SNOW. They hear metal clanking. The two of them peer over the edge of the cliff to see a line of undead soldiers walking slowly.
The camera shifts to the undead army.
The undead come upon a burning fire. The WHITE WALKER considers the situation. The bortherhood rises to ambush them, and a battle ensues. JORAH is choked by an undead soldier. JON SNOW slays the WHITE WALKER, and the band of undead crumbles and falls to the ground. A single WIGHT remains, snarling and confused. The brotherhood surrounds him. TORMUND throws down his axe as the WIGHT charges, and he punches the WIGHT on the chin. The WIGHT falls, and SANDOR tackles him. The WIGHT screeches horribly as the brotherhood continues to subdue him. SANDOR tries to silence him, but the WIGHT bites through his gloves. The hound yelps and shakes his hand in pain. They get the WIGHT under control, but JON SNOW hears a distant rumbling, both footfalls and thunder. The party ties up the WIGHT.
GENDRY turns to leave, but TORMUND grabs his weapon.
GENDRY runs off while the others hustle together, looking for a better position.
The landscape opens up, but the ice cracks under JORAH's feet.
The brotherhood stops, and the ice continues to crack. They turn to see a horde of undead pouring down the valley that the came from.
The brotherhood runs to a rocky island in the middle of the frozen lake, while the horde surrounds the frozen shore. The undead that pursue them onto the ice catch up with a wildling, but when they tackle him, the frozen lake gives way under their weight and they begin to topple into the frigid water. The undead army circles in tighter, many of them continuing to fall through the ice. They form an impassable perimeter around the brotherhood.
The brotherhood sits in a circle, exhausted, the captive wright still screeching and struggling. SANDOR gets up and kicks him. The others stand as well. They are still surrounded by the undead.
THOROS lies with his eyes open and empty of life.
BERIC covers the dead THOROS with a cloak. SANDOR kneels beside him.

SANDOR looks out to the undead army. He picks up a stone and hurls it into the crowd. It knocks the jawbone off of one of the soldiers.
SANDOR picks up another rock to throw. This one slides to the feet of the jawless soldier, who takes measure of it.
The jawless soldier starts to walk across the lake. The brotherhood rises and draws their weapons. More undead soldiers start to advance. BERIC lights his sword, and TORMUND, JON SNOW, JORAH and SANDOR stand ready.
SANDOR strides to meet the undead soldier, and smashes it with his hammer. The battle begins quickly. JON SNOW and JORAH fight as a team, while the others fight independently, TORMUND hewing, BERIC slashing and burning the undead soldiers. The jawless soldier rises once again and charges SANDOR, who swings his war hammer down on the ice. The jawless soldier falls into the icy water exposed, and disappears beneath the ice. All of the undead soldiers pour towards the island.
The captured WIGHT continues to struggle. SANDOR grunts and tossed down his hammer. He draws a dagger and engages is closer battle, with TORMUND unleashing beside him. JON SNOW and JORAH continue to battle as a pair. TORMUND wrestles a soldier from his back, while BERIC sets one ablaze. JON SNOW moves to finish the flaming soldier with his sword. He falls onto the captured WIGHT, and defends against a pair of soldiers.
The undead army overwhelms a Night's Watchman wielding a staff. He is wrestled to the ground, while BERIC dispatches soldiers with his flaming sword. The Brotherhood is losing ground.
The brotherhood tries to form a line, but the soldiers are coming too fast. TORMUND wrestles with one soldier, and throws him to the ground. He turns, and is jumped by another. He is quickly overwhelmed by a group of soldiers, his face bloodied. JORAH and SANDOR want to help, but have their hands full. TORMUND wrestles free from many of the undead, but two more surface from the icy water and grab his legs, pulling him into the lake.
TORMUND screams and gags, as his legs are pulled into the water, while other soldiers continue to wrestle with him atop the ice. One gets its blade around TORMUND's throat, and pins him down, desperate. SANDOR comes to his rescue, and pulls him away from the icy water. They shuffle backwards to the line of the brotherhood.
JON SNOW pulls the captive WIGHT further back, while SANDOR, TORMUND, JORAH and BERIC hold the line. The soldiers are coming faster and faster. JON SNOW continues to retreat, dragging the WIGHT, but he is attacked by a soldier that has made it through the line. JON SNOW dispatches him with a stab to the gut. The brotherhood fights, losing a wildling, who falls from the rocks into the hoard below, where he disappears, screaming. He is torn to shreds while JON SNOW watches from above.
JON SNOW, TORMUND, BERIC, JORAH and SANDOR are cornered, fighting in a frenzy. TORMUND and JON SNOW knock into one another, and exchange a glance of desperation. Time slows for JON SNOW as they prepare to make their last stand.
Drogon screeches has he blasts the army before JON SNOW in a ball of fire, with DAENERYS riding astride him. Raegon and Viserion also blast the undead, melting the ice and sending the soldiers sinking slowly into the icy depths. JON SNOW, TORMUND, BERIC, JORAH and SANDOR stand exhausted, watching the dragons destroy the army in swaths. Daernerys looks down at JON SNOW, and Drogon lands on the ice. DAENERYS invites JON SNOW to climb onto Drogon, but wights set upon them before he can. The battle continues.
Above the frozen lake, a white walker unsheathes an ice spear from his mount, and hands it to the NIGHT KING, who strides forward. The brotherhood continues to fight, while trying to climb onto Drogon.
Only JON SNOW remains on the ground, holding back the undead as they advance. Meanwhile, the NIGHT KING approaches Drogon. SANDOR gores the WIGHT on one of Drogon's spikes. SANDOR, BERIC and TORMUND take their seats. DAENERYS watches JON SNOW continuing to battle on the ground. The NIGHT KING comes closer and readies his spear. He chooses to launch it at the flying Viserion, and it hits its mark, the dragon erupting in flame where the spear has entered. Viserion dives towards the ground, his scream answered by Drogon. Blood pours from Viserion as he crashes into the frozen lake. The ice crumbles, and the dragon's body comes to rest in the icy water while Raegon fies overhead. With a last gasp, Viserion's head slips back into the water, pulled by the weight of his sinking body.
SANDOR, BERIC, TORMUND and JORAH watch in horror as the dragon sinks. DAENERYS is heart broken. On the ground, JON SNOW resumes his melee, and locks eyes with the NIGHT KING. A white walker retrieves another spear.
JON SNOW runs back toward Drogon while DAENERYS watches. However, he is tackled by some undead, and they disappear into the waters. DAENERYS hesitates, hoping JON SNOW will surface, but he continues to struggle and lose breath underwater. The NIGHT KING strides forward and readies his spear. DAENERYS signals Drogon to take flight. The dragon launches awkwardly because of his passengers. The NIGHT KING takes aim at the encumbered dragon and hurls the spear. Drogon's evasive twist dodges the spear, unseating JORAH, who falls away, but is caught by SANDOR. DAENERYS looks back on the battlefield below as they fly away. There is no sign of JON SNOW, and DAENERYS is distraught.
The NIGHT KING mounts his horse. The undead army begins to march away from the frozen lake.
The hilt of Long Claw lays on the ice by the water. Suddenly, JON SNOW emerges, and pulls himself heavily from the icy water. He rests for a moment to gather his strength, and then begins to walk away. However, the undead notice his labored retreat. He falls to his knees, and uses his sword to stand and face the army that runs towards him. Unexpectedly, a dark, mounted rider plows through the advancing horde, spinning a flaming blazier that fells the soldiers as he passes. He rides through to JON SNOW and dismounts. He drops his hood to reveal BENJEN Stark.
BENJEN takes hold of JON SNOW, leads him to the horse and helps him to mount.
BENJEN slaps the horse, sending it galloping. He ignites his blazier again. The undead army overwhelms him, the blazier goes out, and JON SNOW rides away.
