CASTLE BLACK

Sam: I should have never left her there

Jon: You couldn't have known

Alden: He's right. Don't blame yourself.

Sam: Of course I could've known. They were raiding the villages close by.

Grenn: And we just cower in here while they slaughter our brothers?

Edd: Our brothers had orders to stay at Castle Black.

Grenn: Oh, so it's alright then?! Black Jack and Kegs and Mully chopped to pieces 'cause they broke the rules?!

Edd: I didn't say it was alright! I'm sayin' they shouldn't have been there.

Grenn: We pledged to guard the realms of men.

Sam: She's dead because of me.

Grenn: We can't even guard Mole's Town.

Jon: We can't go after them, you know that. That's what they want.

Sam: Little Sam. As if I'd cut their throats myself.

Pyp: Maybe she managed to hide herself. I thought one of you was dead, you went North with Mormont and no one came back. Not for ages. But then you did.

Edd: She survived Craster and he was the worst shit I've ever met. She survived the long march to the wall. She survived a white walker for fuck's sake. She might've got out.

Sam: She might have.

Alden: If they hit Mole's Town, then we're next. Mance's army must be close.

Edd: A hundred thousand.

Grenn: And there's what, 5 of us left.

Edd: If you're counting Black Jack, Kegs, and Mully. A hundred and two.

Pyp: How do a hundred and two men stop a thousand?

Edd: Whoever dies last, be a good lad and burn the rest of us. Once I'm done with this world, I don't want to come back.

Everyone lifts their goblets and takes a drink.

Alden: We're next so we do what we've always done. We hold the line

Jon: We hold the line

Grenn: Aye we hold the line

Edd: We hold the line

Pyp: Hold the line.

MEEREEN

Elizabeth holds a letter and looks up at Barristan

Elizabeth: Explain

Barristan grabs the letter and lets his eyes scans over it

Barristan: Where did you get this?

Elizabeth: Doesn't matter. Why is he being pardoned?

Barristan: He was sending information to King Robert about Daenerys.

Elizabeth: Robert's dead so he's been sending information to the Lannisters. Is he still spying on her?

Barristan: He stopped. Long before we got here.

Elizabeth: Jorah prided himself on being at Daenerys's side and yet he's the one who betrayed her.

Barristan: Elizabeth, he has to be the one who tells her.

Elizabeth: He does it soon or I will.

She storms away.
