Opening Scene

24 lines
Everyone meets in King's Landing to discuss the fate of the realm. In Winterfell, Sansa confronts Arya. Sam reaches Winterfell, where he and Bran discover a shocking secret about Jon Snow.EPISODE 7 - THE DRAGON AND THE WOLFEXT. Outside King's Landing
GREY WORM and the Unsullied stand in formation in front of King's Landing. JAIME and the Lannister forces survey them from atop the rampart. BRONN walks the length of the rampart, overseeing the men.
The camera shifts to a courtyard. The soldiers work, boiling pitch, filling barrels and rolling them up to the defensive wall.
Bronn
Oil?
Soldier
Pitch, my lord.
Bronn
How many barrels?
Soldier
500, my lord.
Bronn
Get 500 more.
Soldier
Yes, my lord.
The soldier exits and BRONN walks the wall to JAIME
Bronn
I still enjoy it when they call me "my lord."
Jaime
The thrill will fade.
Bronn
If we live that long. Men without cocks. You wouldn't find me fighting in an army if I had no cock. What's left to fight for?
Jaime
Gold?
Bronn
I spent my life around soldiers. What do you think they spend that gold on?
Jaime
Family.
Bronn
Not without a cock, you don't.
Jaime
Maybe it really is all cocks in the end.
Bronn
Yet your brother chooses to side with the cockless.
Jaime
Yes, he's always been a champion of the downtrodden.
A trumpet blares. Men howl and whoop in the distance, accompanied by thundering hoofbeats. The Dothraki crest the hill behind the disciplined unsullied army. They are savage and shrieking. They ride through and past the Unsullied.
Bronn
I think we're about to be the downtrodden.
Man
Archers, stand tall!
Man #2
Cover that wall!

An Ironborn fleet rests next to the castle. More Ironborn ships approach.
Scene 3

Cut To: Deck of Ironborn Ship.

5 lines
TYRION, THEON and VARYS stand on deck, looking to the distance as their ship sails in. TYRION joins JON, JORAH, MISSANDEI and JORAH on the foredeck.
Jon
How many people live here?
Tyrion
A million, give or take.
Jon
That's more people than the entire North crammed into that. Why would anyone want to live that way?
Tyrion
There's more work in the city. And the brothels are far superior.
Scene 4

Int. Below deck of the Ironborn Ship

1 lines
SANDOR descends a staircase into a dark hold, bearing a lantern. He advances carefully and stops at a crate. He gives one knock, and the WIGHT screeches in a frenzy, shaking his crate prison. Satisfied that the WIGHT lives, SANDOR turns and exits.
Scene 5

Int. King's Landing

10 lines
CERSEI, QYBURN and JAIME stand in a royal chamber.
Cersei
Why isn't she with them?
Qyburn
I'm afraid I don't know, Your Grace. No one has seen her.
Cersei
And the rest of them?
Qyburn
They're on their way to the dragon pit now.
Cersei
Including our brother.
Qyburn
Yes, Your Grace.
CERSEI and JAIME walk into the adjacent room, where the MOUNTAIN stands.
Cersei
If anything goes wrong, kill the silver-haired bitch first, then our brother, then the bastard who calls himself king. The rest of them you can kill in any order you see fit. Come, Ser Gregor, it's time for us to meet our guests.
CERSEI exits, followed by the MOUNTAIN, QYBURN and JAIME
Scene 6

Ext. Outside King's Landing

18 lines
JON, TYRION, JORAH, MISSANDEI and DAVOS walk ahead of their Dothraki guards. VARYS, THEON and SANDOR are further back.
Missandei
Why did they build it?
Jorah
Dragons don't understand the difference between what is theirs and what isn't. Land, livestock, children... Letting them roam free around a city was a problem.
Tyrion
I imagine it was a sad joke at the end. An entire arena for a few sickly creatures smaller than dogs. But in the beginning, when it was home to Balerion the Dread, it must have been the most dangerous place in the world.
Lannister guards approach, led by BRONN and accompanied by BRIENNE and PODRICK.
Davos
Maybe it still is.
Bronn
Welcome, my lords. Your friends arrived before you did.
The Dothraki, led by Qhono, look suspicious. BRIENNE and SANDOR exchange a look.
Bronn
I've been sent to escort you all to the meeting.
The Lannister guards part, clearing the path. TYRION nods to QHONO, who takes the lead. The Dothraki all move forward, followed by the rest. PODRICK meets TYRION.
Tyrion
A pleasant surprise in an unpleasant situation.
Podrick
I never thought I'd see you again, my lord.
Tyrion
Supporting the enemy, no less.
Podrick
Hard to blame you.
Tyrion
Cersei will anyway.
Podrick
I'm glad you're alive.
Bronn
Come on! You can suck his magic cock later.
Tyrion
(Shakes his head.)
Scene 7

Cut To: Further back on the road.

25 lines
The WIGHT's crate is drawn by horses, en route to the meeting site.
Soldier
What's in there?
Sandor
Fuck off.
Brienne
I thought you were dead.
Sandor
Not yet. You came pretty close.
Brienne
I was only trying to protect her.
Sandor
You and me both.
Brienne
She's alive. Arya.
Sandor
Where?
Brienne
Winterfell.
Sandor
Who's protecting her if you're here?
Brienne
The only one that needs protecting is the one that gets in her way.
Sandor
It won't be me.
The camera shifts forward as they travel to the meeting.
Tyrion
Here we are the heroes of Blackwater Bay. Strange place for a reunion.
Podrick
It is, my lord.
Tyrion
I don't think I'm anyone's lord anymore, Podrick. Save the titles for Ser Bronn of the Blackwater.
Bronn
I'm sure your new queen will be happy to restore yours if she ends up on the throne.
Tyrion
You've been thinking about our new queen? Perhaps you've been reconsidering your allegiances. Remember my offer – whatever they're paying you, I'll pay double."
Varys
And that would be double what now, exactly?
Bronn
Don't you worry about me. I'm doing all right. Looking after myself.
Tyrion
Are you? Helping me to arrange this meeting wasn't exactly looking after yourself, was it? You put yourself at risk.
Bronn
I put yourself at risk. Important difference. It's your head Queen Cersei's offered a bag of gold for, it's not mine. Now, thanks to me, she's got two traitors' heads coming right through her door. She can lop them both off as soon as she gets tired of the clever words that pour out their pieholes. All thanks to Ser Bronn of the fucking Blackwater. If that's not looking after myself, I don't know what is.
Tyrion
It's good to see you again.
Bronn
Yeah, you, too.
Scene 8

Cut To: Outside the Dragon PIt

2 lines
SANDOR attends to the cart transporting the WIGHT.
Sandor
Anyone touches it, I'll kill you first.
Scene 9

Cut To: The Dragon Pit

70 lines
The party enters the ruin of the dragon pit. Lannister banners decorate the walls, and the stage has been furnished with open tents for the summit. Everyone files in, Lannisters to the right, Northerns to the left.
Bronn
Come on, Pod. Let's you and me go have a drink while the fancy folks talk, eh?
BRIENNE gives her permission to PODRICK, who exits with BRONN. JON watches them go.
JORAH and TYRION look around. SANDOR paces.
Sandor
I left this shit city because I didn't want to die in it. Am I going to die in this shit city?
Tyrion
You might.
Sandor
And this is all your idea. Seems every bad idea has some Lannister cunt behind it.
Tyrion
And some Clegane cunt to help them see it through.
CERSEI enters with the MOUNTAIN, QYBURN, EURON and JAIME. JON and CERSEI exchange glances. So do BRIENNE and JAIME, CERSEI and TYRION, EURON and THEON. The royal party seats themselves, and SANDOR and the MOUNTAIN exchange looks. The Cleganes walk to confront one another before the dais.
Sandor
Remember me? Yeah, you do. You're even fucking uglier than I am now. What did they do to you? Doesn't matter. That's not how it ends for you, brother. You know who's coming for you. You've always known.
SANDOR walks away. The MOUNTAIN watches him go, then takes his place behind Cersei.
Cersei
Where is she?
Tyrion
She'll be here soon.
Cersei
Didn't travel with you?
Tyrion
No.
Everyone waits. Then, dragons screech. JAIME and EURON stand to watch the dragons arrive. Drogon lands powerfully next to the stage and roars. TYRION turns to look at CERSEI. JON and DAVOS look on as Drogon roars again, lowering his head to reveal DAENERYS on his back. Drogon climbs down to the dragon pit, and DAENERYS dismounts. She walks to the dais as Drogon flies away. DAENERYS and CERSEI eye one another as she takes her seat next to TYRION.
Cersei
We've been here for some time.
Daenerys
My apologies.
DAENERYS looks to TYRION, who stands in response.
Tyrion
We are all facing a unique--
Euron
Theon! I have your sister. If you don't submit to me here, now… I'll kill her.
TYRION and JAIME exchange confused glances. JAIME shakes TYRION off.
Tyrion
I think we ought to begin with larger concerns.
Euron
Then why are you talking? You're the smallest concern here.
EURON walks towards TYRION.
Tyrion
Do you remember when we discussed dwarf jokes?
Theon
His wasn't even good.
Tyrion
He explained it at the end. Never explain. It always ruins it.
Euron
We don't even let your kind live in the Iron Islands, you know? We kill you at birth. An act of mercy for the parents.
Jaime
Perhaps you ought to sit down.
Euron
Why?
Cersei
Sit down or leave.
The MOUNTAIN moves forward, threatening to enforce CERSEI's will. EURON laughs and returns to his seat. THEON watches silently.
Tyrion
We are a group of people who do not like one another, as this recent demonstration has shown. We have suffered at each other's hands. We have lost people we love at each other's hands. If all we wanted was more of the same, there would be no need for this gathering. We are entirely capable of waging war against each other without meeting face-to-face.
Cersei
So instead, we should settle our differences and live together in harmony for the rest of our days?
Tyrion
We all know that will never happen.
Cersei
Then why are we here?
JON rises and walks forward to make his case.
Jon
This isn't about living in harmony. It's just about living. The same thing is coming for all of us. A general you can't negotiate with. An army that doesn't leave corpses behind on the battlefield. Lord Tyrion tells me a million people live in this city. They're about to become a million more soldiers in the Army of the Dead.
Cersei
I imagine for most of them it would be an improvement.
Jon
This is serious. I wouldn't be here if it weren't.
Cersei
I don't think it's serious at all. I think it's another bad joke. If my brother Jaime has informed me correctly, you're asking me for a truce.
Daenerys
Yes. That's all.
Cersei
That's all? Pull back my armies and stand down while you go on your monster hunt. Or while you solidify and expand your position. Hard for me to know which it is with my armies pulled back until you return and march on my capital with four times the men.
Daenerys
Your capital will be safe until the northern threat is dealt with. You have my word.
Cersei
The word of a would-be usurper.
Tyrion
There is no conversation that will erase the last 50 years. We have something to show you.
SANDOR returns, bearing the crate on his back. He puts it down, removes the chains and bars that lock it. He removes the lid, and stands back in caution, grasping the hilt of his sword. Nothing happens. He kicks over the crate to reveal the WIGHT, who charges towards CERSEI, screeching horribly. SANDOR follows, while the WIGHT reaches for the frozen CERSEI. At the last minute, SANDOR pulls the chain that binds him, yanking the WIGHT off of its feet. JAIME and the MOUNTAIN stand to protect CERSEI. The WIGHT turns its attention to SANDOR. He draws his sword, and slices the WIGHT in half as it attacks him. Both halves of the WIGHT continue to move. The upper half crawls towards SANDOR, who slices away a forearm. QYBURN picks up the undead arm to examine it. JON takes it, and with Davos's help, lights a torch.
Jon
We can destroy them by burning them.
JON sets the hand aflame, and it writhes. The WIGHT screeches helplessly. JON drops the arm.
Jon
And we can destroy them with dragonglass. If we don't win this fight, then that is the fate of every person in the world.
JON stabs the WIGHT in the heart with his dragonglass knife, and the WIGHT falls lifeless after a final screech. CERSEI stares in disbelief, and DAENERYS watches. JON approaches CERSEI.
Jon
There is only one war that matters the Great War. And it is here.
CERSEI looks to JAIME.
Daenerys
I didn't believe it until I saw them. I saw them all.
Jaime
How many?
Daenerys
A hundred thousand, at least.
EURON rises to investigate the lifeless WIGHT.
Euron
Can they swim?
Jon
No.
Euron
Good. I'm taking the Iron Fleet back to the Iron Islands.
Cersei
What are you talking about?
Euron
I've been around the world. I've seen everything, things you couldn't imagine, and this this is the only thing I've ever seen that terrifies me.
EURON walks over to DAENERYS.
Euron
I'm going back to my island. You should go back to yours. When winter's over, we'll be the only ones left alive.
EURON exits.
Cersei
He's right to be afraid. And a coward to run. If those things come for us, there will be no kingdoms to rule. Everything we suffered will have been for nothing. Everything we lost will have been for nothing. The crown accepts your truce. Until the dead are defeated, they are the true enemy.
Jon
(SIGHS)
Cersei
In return, the King
Daenerys
Just the King

31 lines
Cersei
(CHUCKLES) I would never ask it of you. You would never agree to it. And if you did, I would trust you even less than I do now. I ask it only of Ned Stark's son. I know Ned Stark's son.
JON looks to DAVOS and DAENERYS.
Jon
I am true to my word. Or I try to be. That is why I cannot give you what you ask. I cannot serve two queens. And I have already pledged myself to Queen Daenerys of House Targaryen.
Cersei
Then there is nothing left to discuss. The dead will come north first. Enjoy dealing with them. We will deal with whatever is left of you.
CERSEI, JAIME, QYBURN and the MOUNTAIN move to leave. BRIENNE follows.
Brienne
Ser Jaime.
Jaime
It's been good to see you. I imagine the next time will be across a battlefield.
Brienne
We both saw what just happened. We both saw that thing.
Jaime
Yes, and I'm not looking forward to seeing more of them. But I'm loyal to the queen and you're loyal to Sansa and her dolt brother.
BRIENNE hits JAIME on the arm
Brienne
Oh, fuck loyalty!
Jaime
Fuck loyalty?
Brienne
This goes beyond houses and honor and oaths. Talk to the queen.
JAIME looks to CERSEI, who turns and walks away with QYBURN.
Jaime
And tell her what?
JAIME exits.
Those that remain contemplate what has happened.
Davos
I wish you hadn't done that.
Daenerys
I'm grateful for your loyalty, but my dragon died so that we could be here. If it's all for nothing, then he died for nothing.
Jon
I know!
Tyrion
I'm pleased you bent the knee to our queen I would have advised it, had you asked. But have you ever considered learning how to lie every now and then? Just a bit?
Jon
I'm not going to swear an oath I can't uphold. Talk about my father if you want, tell me that's the attitude that got him killed. But when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. Then there are no more answers, only better and better lies, and lies won't help us in this fight.
Tyrion
That is indeed a problem. The more immediate problem is that we're fucked.
Davos
Any ideas as to how we might change that state of affairs?
Tyrion
Only one. Everyone stays here, and I go and talk to my sister.
Daenerys
I didn't come all this way to have my Hand murdered.
Tyrion
I don't want Cersei to murder me either. I could have stayed in my cell and saved a great deal of trouble.
Jon
I did this. I should go.
Tyrion
She'll definitely murder you. I go see my sister alone. Or we all go home and we're right back where we started.
Daenerys
(Nods)
Tyrion exits.
Scene 11

Cut To: King's Landing portico

6 lines
Tyrion walks the halls of the castle, followed by the MOUNTAIN. He meets with JAIME.
Tyrion
You spoke with her?
Jaime
At her until she kicked me out. She thinks I was an idiot to trust you. A lot of people seem to think that, actually.
Tyrion
I'm about to step into a room with the most murderous woman in the world who's already tried to kill me twice, that I know of. Who's an idiot?
Jaime
I suppose we should say goodbye, one idiot to another.
TYRION advances, and the MOUNTAIN leads him inside
Scene 12

Cut To: Council Chamber.

41 lines
The MOUNTAIN accompanies TYRION into the chamber to meet CERSEI.
Cersei
I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose. She's your kind of woman a foreign whore who doesn't know her place.
Tyrion
A foreign whore you can't abduct, beat, or intimidate. That must be difficult for you.
Cersei
So you bring her here with her pet Northerner, whom you've convinced to bow down before her.
Tyrion
I didn't know about that.
Cersei
And now you've got them both working towards the same goal, the goal you've worked towards your entire life.
Tyrion
Cersei, I didn't know.
Cersei
the destruction of this family.
Tyrion
I am the one preventing that from happening. Daenerys didn't want to debate and negotiate. She didn't want to bring you words. She wanted to bring you fire and blood until I advised her otherwise. I don't want to destroy our family. I never have.
Cersei
You killed our father
Tyrion
After he sentenced me to death for a crime I didn't commit, yes, I killed him. Hate me for it if you want. I hate myself for it in spite of what he was, in spite of what he did to me.
Cersei
Oh, poor little man. Your papa was mean to you. Do you have any idea what you did when you fired that crossbow? You left us open. You laid us bare for the vultures, and the vultures came and tore us apart. You may not have killed Joffrey, but you killed Myrcella, you killed Tommen. No one would've touched them if Father was here, no one would have dared-
Tyrion
I have never been more sorry about anything.
Cersei
I will not hear it, not from you.
Tyrion
(starts)
Cersei
I will not hear it!
Tyrion
All right. You love your family, and I have destroyed it. I will always be a threat. So put an end to me.
CERSEI pauses.
Tyrion
If it weren't for me, you'd have a mother. If it weren't for me, you'd have a father. If it weren't for me, you'd have two beautiful children. I've thought about killing you more times than I can count. (turns to the MOUNTAIN) Do it! (turns back to Cersei) Say the word.
The MOUNTAIN readies to draw his sword. CERSEI sighs and sits back, eyes closed. The MOUNTAIN stands back. TYRION pours himself some wine and drinks it down. He pours another glass, and walks back to CERSEI, placing his cup on her desk. He takes another glass..
Tyrion
I am more sorry about the children than you could ever know.
Cersei
I will not
Tyrion
I don't care. I loved them. You know I did. You know it in your heart if there's anything left of it.
TYRION pours himself wine and takes a drink.
Cersei
It doesn't matter. Your love doesn't matter. Your feelings don't matter. I don't care why you did what you did. I only care what it cost us. It cost us our future.
Tyrion
If there's no future, then why are we here? Why did you allow me to come?
Cersei
Not to help my enemies collaborate in my destruction.
Tyrion
Yes, no, not what you hoped for, but you must have hoped for something.
Cersei
What did you hope for? To make Jon Snow submit to your queen.
Tyrion
Mm, not like this.
Cersei
But eventually, you want everyone to bend the knee to her.
Tyrion
Yes.
Cersei
Why?
Tyrion
Because I think she will make the world a better place.
Cersei
You said she'd destroy King's Landing.
Tyrion
She knows herself. She chose an advisor who would check her worst impulses instead of feeding them.
Cersei
That's the difference between you. I don't care about checking my worst impulses. I don't care about making the world a better place. Hang the world.
CERSEI cradles her belly and TYRION notices. She takes a deep breath.
Cersei
That thing you dragged here, I know what it is, I know what it means. And when it came at me, I didn't think about the world. Not at all. As soon as it opened its mouth, the world disappeared for me, right down its black throat. All I could think about was keeping those gnashing teeth away from the ones who matter most, away from my family. Maybe Euron Greyjoy had the right idea. Get on a boat, take those who matter.
Tyrion
You're pregnant.
CERSEI does not answer.
Scene 13

Cut To: Side Area of the Dragon Pit

18 lines
JON picks up some bleached bones from the dirt floor. DAENERYS approaches him.
Jon
No one is less happy about this than I am.
Daenerys
I know. I respect what you did. Wish you hadn't done it, but I respect it.
DAENERYS takes the bone from JON.
Daenerys
This place was the beginning of the end for my family. (Speaks Valerian.) A dragon is not a slave. They were terrifying. Extraordinary. They filled people with wonder and awe, and we locked them in here. They wasted away. They grew small. And we grew small as well. We weren't extraordinary without them. We were just like everyone else.
She hands the bone back to JON.
Jon
You're not like everyone else. And your family hasn't seen its end. You're still here.
Daenerys
I can't have children.
Jon
Who told you that?
Daenerys
The witch who murdered my husband.
Jon
Has it occurred to you she might not have been a reliable source of information?
Daenerys
You were right from the beginning. If I had trusted you, everything would be different.
Jon
So, what now?
Daenerys
I can't forget what I saw north of the Wall. And I can't pretend that Cersei won't take back half the country the moment I march north.
Jon
It appears Tyrion's assessment was correct. We're fucked.
Daenerys
(Laughs)
They hear footsteps, and they walk back to the others. The camera shifts to the main area of the Dragon Pit. TYRION walks in alone. He is followed by CERSEI, the MOUNTAIN, QYBURN, JAIME and the Lannister guards. The northern delegation watches as they approach the dais.
Cersei
My armies will not stand down. I will not pull them back to the capital. I will march them north to fight alongside you in the Great War. The darkness is coming for us all. We'll face it together. And when the Great War is over, perhaps you'll remember I chose to help with no promises or assurances from any of you. I expect not. Call our banners. All of them.

Littlefinger
It's not easy for ravens to fly in these storms. Perhaps Jon tried to send word earlier.
Sansa
No, this is the way he is, the way he's always been. He never asked for my opinion. Why would he start now?
Littlefinger
I can't believe he'd surrender the Northern crown without consulting you.
Sansa
This is his writing, his signature. He pledged to fight for Daenerys Targaryen. He's bent the knee.
Littlefinger
I've heard gossip that the Dragon Queen is quite beautiful.
Sansa
What does that have to do with anything?
Littlefinger
Jon is young and unmarried. Daenerys is young and unmarried.
Sansa
You think he wants to marry her?
Littlefinger
An alliance makes sense. Together, they'd be difficult to defeat. He was named King.
Sansa
Even if I wanted to, Arya would never go along. She always loved Jon far more than she ever loved me, and she'd kill anyone who betrayed her family.
Littlefinger
You are family, too. Would Arya really murder her own sister?
Sansa
Do you know what she is now? Do you know what the Faceless Men are?
Littlefinger
Only by reputation. They worship the God of Death, I believe. I never trust godly men.
Sansa
They're killers. And Arya was one of them. What do you think she's after?
Littlefinger
She's your sister. You know her far better than I ever could.
Sansa
She could want me dead because she thinks I wronged my family.
Littlefinger
Why did she come to Winterfell?
Sansa
To kill me for marrying our enemies and betraying my family.
Littlefinger
Why did she unearth the letter Cersei made you write?
Sansa
To provide proof of my betrayals. To provide justification after she murders me.
Littlefinger
And after she murders you, what does she become?
Sansa
Lady of Winterfell.
SANSA contemplates.

JON, DAENERYS, DAVOS, JORAH, THEON, VARYS, MISSANDEI, GREY WORM and TYRION strategize.
Jon
If we have the Dothraki ride hard on the kingsroad, they'll arrive at Winterfell within the fortnight.
Daenerys
And the Unsullied? We can sail with them to White Harbor, meet the Dothraki here on the kingsroad, then ride together to Winterfell.
Jorah
Perhaps you should fly to Winterfell, Your Grace. You have many enemies in the North. Thousands fell fighting your fatherAll it takes is one angry man with a crossbow. He'll see your silver hair on the kingsroad and know that one well-placed bolt will make him a hero. The man who killed the conqueror.
Jon
It's your decision, Your Grace. But if we're going to be allies in this war, it's important for the Northerners to see us as allies. If we sail to White Harbor together, I think it sends a better message.
Daenerys
I've not come to conquer the North. I'm coming to save the North. We sail together.

JON and DAVOS walk through the room, away from the meeting. THEON trails behind.
Theon
Jon.
JON and DAVOS stop and turn.
Theon
Can I speak with you?
Jon
All right.
DAVOS exits.
Theon
What you did in King's Landing, what you said... You could've lied to Cersei about bending the knee to Daenerys. You risked everything to tell an enemy the truth.
Jon
We went down there to make peace. And it seems to me we need to be honest with each other if we're going to fight together.
Theon
You've always known what was right. Even when we were all young and stupid, you always knew. Every step you take it's always the right step.
Jon
It's not. It may seem that way from the outside, but I promise you, it's not true. I've done plenty of things that I regret.
Theon
Not compared to me, you haven't.
Jon
No. Not compared to you.
Theon
I always wanted to do the right thing. Be the right kind of person. But I never knew what that meant. It always seemed like there's like there was an impossible choice I had to make. Stark or Greyjoy.
Jon
Our father was more of a father to you than yours ever was.
Theon
He was.
Jon
And you betrayed him. Betrayed his memory.
Theon
I did.
Jon
(SIGHS) But you never lost him. He's a part of you. Just like he's a part of me.
Theon
But the things I've done.
Jon
It's not my place to forgive you for all of it. But what I can forgive, I do. You don't need to choose. You're a Greyjoy and you're a Stark.
Theon
When I was Ramsay's prisoner, Yara tried to save me. She's the only one who tried to save me. (SNIFFLES) She needs me now.
Jon
So, why are you still talking to me?
JON exits.

Your sister's dead.
Theon
She's not dead.
Harrag
She's dead. Even if Euron hasn't cut her throat yet, she's dead.
Theon
She's our queen
Harrag
She's your sister and you left her to die.
Theon
I did. I ran from my uncle. I was a coward.
Harrag
So, why in fuck's name should we listen to you? They say the dead can't swim. We're going to sail east, find a nice, quiet island, kill all the men, and take their wives for ourselves.
Theon
We're done with all that.
Harrag
Who says we are?
Theon
Yara did. She made a pledge. We're going to find her, and we're going to set her free.
HARRAG spits in THEON's face. The men laugh.
Harrag
Run away, little Theon. It's what you do best.
Man
He needs to shut his mouth.
HARRAG swings a strong blow to THEON's chin. THEON reels, but recovers to throw a counter-punch. HARRAG evades the blow, they grapple and THEON is thrown to the ground.
Man
Hey!
The ironborn are enjoying the fight. THEON gets up and the grapple, before HARRAG lands a head butt. Followed by a leveling punch to the face.
Man #2
Oh, yes!
Man #3
That's more like it.
THEON charges, grabbing HARRAG around the waist. But HARRAG gets the better of him, and THEON ends up back on the sand, bloodied.
Harrag
Stay down or I'll kill you!
THEON gets up, woozy. HARRAG punches him again, and he crumbles to the sand, groaning.
Harrag
(panting) I said stay down or I'll kill you!
THEON gets up again, and they set on one another. HARRAG knees THEON in the groin, but there is no reaction. He does it again. THEON is emboldened. He head butts HARRAG, then tackles him. He sits astride HARRAG and delivers repeated, punishing blows to his bloodied face. HARRAG is defeated.
Theon
Not for me. For Yara!
Men
Yara!
THEON staggers to the water, and he cleanses his face.

Scene 20

Cut To: The Great Hall of Winterfell

43 lines
SANSA and BRAN sit at the great table, with WOLKAN standing to the side. The room is filled with northmen. The guards escort ARYA into the hall, and leave her standing alone in front of the table. ARYA looks around and spies YOHN ROYCE, then LITTLEFINGER.
Arya
Are you sure you want to do this?
Sansa
It's not what I want. It's what honor demands.
Arya
And what does honor demand?
Sansa
That I defend my family from those who would harm us. That I defend the North from those who would betray us.
Arya
All right, then. Get on with it.
Sansa
You stand accused of murder. You stand accused of treason. How do you answer these charges Lord Baelish?
SANSA and ARYA turn their heads towards LITTLEFINGER, as do the others in the room. LITTLEFINGER is dumbfounded.
Arya
My sister asked you a question.
Littlefinger
Lady Sansa, forgive me I'm a bit confused.
Sansa
Which charges confuse you? Let's start with the simplest one you murdered our aunt, Lysa Arryn. You pushed her through the Moon Door and watched her fall. Do you deny it?
Littlefinger
I did it to protect you.
Sansa
You did it to take power in the Vale. Earlier, you conspired to murder Jon Arryn. You gave Lysa Tears of Lys to poison him. Do you deny it?
Littlefinger
Whatever your aunt might have told you, she was a troubled woman. She imagined enemies everywhere.
Sansa
You had Aunt Lysa send a letter to our parents telling them it was the Lannisters who murdered Jon Arryn when, really, it was you. The conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters, it was you who started it. Do you deny it?
Littlefinger
I know of no such letter.
Sansa
You conspired with Cersei Lannister and Joffrey Baratheon to betray our father, Ned Stark. Thanks to your treachery, he was imprisoned and later executed on false charges of treason. Do you deny it?
Littlefinger
I deny it! None of you were there to see what happened. None of you knows the truth.
Bran
You held a knife to his throat.
LITTLEFINGER turns to face BRAN, surprised at this knowledge he has.
Bran
You said, "I did warn you not the trust me."
Arya
You told our mother this knife belonged to Tyrion Lannister, but that was another one of your lies. It was yours.
ARYA draws the knife.
Littlefinger
Lady Sansa, I have known you since you were a girl. I've protected you.
Sansa
Protected me? By selling me to the Boltons?
Littlefinger
If we could speak alone, I can explain everything.
Sansa
Sometimes when I'm trying to understand a person's motives, I play a little game. I assume the worst. What's the worst reason you have for turning me against my sisterThat's what you do, isn't it? That's what you've always done turn family against family, turn sister against sister. That's what you did to our mother and Aunt Lysa and that's what you tried to do to us.
Littlefinger
Sansa, please.
Sansa
I'm a slow learner, it's true. But I learn.
Littlefinger
Give me a chance to defend myself. I deserve that.
Sansa
(Nods.)
Littlefinger
(to Yohn Royce) I am Lord Protector of the Vale and I command you to escort me safely back to the Eyrie.
Yohn Royce
I think not.
LITTLEFINGER kneels before SANSA.
Littlefinger
Sansa, I beg you! I loved your mother since the time I was a boy.
Sansa
And yet, you betrayed her.
Littlefinger
I loved you. More than anyone.
Sansa
And yet, you betrayed me.
SANSA rises.
Sansa
When you brought me back to Winterfell, you told me there's no justice in the world, not unless we make it. Thank you for all your many lessons, Lord Baelish. I will never forget them.
ARYA steps briskly towards LITTLEFINGER and
Littlefinger
Sansa! (GASPS) I--
ARYA slashes his throat with his own knife, swiftly. She returns tableside, and everyone watches as LITTLEFINGER dies.

Jaime paces into the yard. CERSEI watches from the upper level.
Jaime
Our men in King's Landing will march north in three days' time.
Man
It'll take us a fortnight just to gather supplies for the train.
Jaime
We don't have a fortnight. If the North falls, we fall. Three days. The remaining forces in the Westerlands will take the river road east. We'll meet at Lord Harroway's Town and march together to Winterfell.
Cersei
Ser Jaime.
Jaime
Your Grace.
The lords bow in union to CERSEI
Cersei
My lords, I need a moment with my brother.
Men
Your Grace.
JAIME dismisses them and the lords exit. CERSEI walks down to ground level to join him.
Cersei
What are you doing?
Jaime
Preparing the expedition north.
Cersei
Expedition north? I always knew you were the stupidest Lannister. The Starks and Targaryens have united against us, and you want to fight alongside them? Are you a traitor or an idiot?
Jaime
You pledged our forces to fight our common enemy.
Cersei
I'll say whatever I need to say to ensure the survival of our house. You expect me to trust the man who murdered our father? ? You expect me to command our troops to fight beside foreign scum, to fight for the Dragon Queen?
Jaime
You saw it with your own eyes. You saw a dead man trying to kill us.
Cersei
And I saw it burn. If dragons can't stop them, if Dothraki and Unsullied and Northmen can't stop them, how will our armies make a difference?
Jaime
This isn't about noble houses, this is about the living and the dead!
Cersei
And I intend to stay amongst the living. Let the Stark boy and his new queen defend the North. We stay here where we've always been.
Jaime
I made a promise.
Cersei
Our child will rule Westeros.
Jaime
Our child will never be born if the dead come south.
Cersei
The monsters are real. The white walkers, the dragons, the Dothraki screamers all the frightening stories we heard when we were young, they're all real. So be it. Let the monsters kill each other. And while they battle in the North, we take back the lands that belong to us.
Jaime
And then what?
Cersei
And then we rule.
Jaime
When the fighting in the North is over, someone wins. You understand that, don't you? If the dead win, they march south and kill us all. If the living win, and we've betrayed them, they march south and kill us all!
Cersei
The Targaryens and the Starks already want to kill us all. Most of them will die in the North.
Jaime
I faced them in the field. We can't beat them. We can't beat their dragons.
Cersei
How many dragons did you see at the pit?
Jaime
Two.
Cersei
What happened to the third?
Jaime
For all we know, it's guarding her fleet!
Cersei
She came here with her dragons and her Dothraki and her Unsullied. She came here to show us all her power. No, something happened.The dragons are vulnerable.
Jaime
We can't beat the Dothraki. We don't have the numbers. We don't have the support of the other houses!
Cersei
No, we have something better. We have the Iron Bank. You should've listened more when Father spoke about the importance of gold. Oh, I know it's boring for you. You just wanted to hunt and ride and fight. But I listened, I learned. Highgarden bought us the most powerful army in Essos, the Golden Company. Twenty thousand men, horses, elephants, I believe.
Jaime
The Golden Company is not here. They're in Essos. How is a mercenary company in Essos going to help us?
Cersei
Do you really think Euron Greyjoy turned tail and sailed back to the Iron Islands? Do you think he abandoned the chance to marry the queen? No one walks away from me. He's sailing with his fleet to Essos, he's going to ferry the Golden Company back here to help us win the war for Westeros.
Jaime
You plotted with Euron Greyjoy without telling me, the commander of your armies?
Cersei
And you conspired with Tyrion, the man who murdered our father without telling me, your queen.
Jaime
I didn't conspire with him.
Cersei
You met with him in secret without my consent. You planned to promote my enemies' interests. That is the definition of conspiracy.
Jaime
I pledged to ride north. I intend to honor that pledge.
Cersei
And that will be treason.
Jaime
Treason?
Cersei
Disobeying your queen's command, fighting with her enemies, what would you call it?
Jaime
Doesn't matter what I'd call it.
JAIME starts to exit, but he is blocked by the MOUNTAIN.
Cersei
I told you no one walks away from me.
Jaime
Are you going to order him to kill me? I'm the only one you have left. Our children are gone, our father is gone. It's just me and you now.
Cersei
There's one more yet to come.
Jaime
Give the order, then.
CERSEI hesitates, and JAIME thinks that he has called her bluff. Then CERSEI nods to the MOUNTAIN, who unsheathes his sword. JAIME looks nervous, then makes up his mind.
Jaime
I don't believe you.
JAIME moves past the MOUNTAIN, who lets him go. CERSEI starts after him, but lets him go.

Samwell Tarly.
Sam
I wasn't sure if you'd remember me.
Bran
I remember everything.
Sam closes the door.
Bran
You helped us get beyond the Wall. You're a good man.
Sam
Oh, well, thank you, but, um, I'm not sure that I am. What happened to you beyond the Wall?
Bran
I became the Three-Eyed Raven.
Sam
Oh! I don't know what that means.
Bran
I can see things that happened in the past. I can see things happening now all over the world. Why did you come to Winterfell?
Sam
Um, Jon's the one to lead the fight against the dead. I know he is. But he can't do it alone, so I've come here to help him.
Bran
He's on his way back to Winterfell with Daenerys Targaryen.
Sam
You, you saw this in a vision?
BRAN holds up a scroll delivered by a raven.
Sam
Oh.
Bran
He needs to know the truth.
Sam
The truth about what?
Bran
About himself. No one knows. No one but me. Jon isn't really my father's son He's the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and my aunt, Lyanna Stark. He was born in a tower in Dorne. His last name isn't really Snow. It's Sand.
Sam
It's not.
Bran
Dornish bastards are named Sand.
Sam
At the Citadel, I transcribed a High Septon's diary. He annulled Rhaegar's marriage to Elia. He wed Rhaegar and Lyanna in a secret ceremony.
Bran
Are you certain?
Sam
It's what the High Septon wrote in his private diary. I don't know why he'd lie. Is this something you can see?

Arya
I'm just the executioner. You passed the sentence. You're the Lady of Winterfell.
Sansa
Does that bother you?
Arya
I was never going to be as good a lady as you. So I had to be something else. I never could have survived what you survived.
Sansa
You would have. You're the strongest person I know.
Arya
I believe that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me.
Sansa
Well, don't get used to it. You're still very strange and annoying.

Figures start to emerge from the forrest.

What is it?
A huge undead army emerges from the trees. The white walkers are mounted, holding a spear. Dark clouds swirl. A horn blares as the undead army gets closer to the wall. The undead army stops, and all is still.
Atop the wall, TORMUND and BERIC look out nervously. A dragon's screech comes from the darkness. The undead Viserion flies in, and spits out blue flame at the wall as he passes. TORMUND and BERIC stare in disbelief. The Night King rides astride the undead dragon. TORMUND and BERIC hurry down from the watchtower.
Tormund
Come on! Run! Run!
The Night's Watchmen flee as the undead dragon attacks the wall will blue flame. The wall begins to buckle and fall. The stairways shake and destruct. Many fall to their deaths. The undead army watches, motionless. TORMUND and BERIC barely escape from the collapsing section of the wall. Once it has come to the ground, the undead army starts to advance. The army seems endless, and includes undead giants. The Night King leads from above, riding Viserion. The undead march south of the wall.
