KING'S LANDING COMMONS - DAY

Many male commoners are gathered together at a place for eating. They are all watching one commoner man tell a story.

STORYTELLER: Right, so there she is, high and mighty Queen Cersei, tits and ass jiggling in the breeze.

The commoners laugh.

STORYTELLER: All of a sudden she looks my way. Gives me a little smile like, "Well?" So, all right, you know, I've never been shy and I'm blessed down south, so I put it right out. She's never seen anything like it. I mean, she's used to her brother, and from what I hear, Jaime Lannister's half an inch shy of an inch. She sees it and I swear to the gods she licks her lips. Well, you all know me. You know I wouldn't lie about this.

"Wow this guy is asking for it? Just be because Cersei can't do anything to High Sparrow does he think she won't have him killed" Tyrion said

The STORYTELLER walks into a dark alleyway to relieve himself. He is drunk. GREGOR walks up behind him. The STORYTELLER looks up at GREGOR. GREGOR bounces his head off the wall, killing him, then walks away.

"See!" Tyrion added

"Oh, great he really didn't die and now he is already standing and killing people" Oberyn said

Elia chided "See don't do anything stupid anymore or you may end up dead again"

"Come on, I have sand magic i can choke him from distance" Oberyn replied

RED KEEP - CERSEI'S CHAMBER

CERSEI is standing in the center of the room,. She pulls a loose thread from the sleeve of her dress and examines it. GREGOR enters. CERSEI walks past him and exits her chamber. GREGOR follows. When they reach the bottom of the steps, they are confronted by a group of the king's soldiers.

CERSEI: Get out of my way.

KING'S SOLDIER: King's orders, Your Grace.

CERSEI: What are the king's orders?

KING'S SOLDIER: He would like you to remain in the Red Keep, Your Grace, for your own protection.

"I know you may hate her but not allowing to let her see her daughter for one last time is too cruel Tonmen" Joanna Lannister said to her grandson

Tonmen nodded his head in acceptance

CERSEI: You're barring me from attending my own daughter's funeral?

KING'S SOLDIER: Forgive me, Your Grace, by the king's command, I cannot let you pass.

CERSEI: I would like to speak to my son.

KING'S SOLDIER: He has left the Red Keep, Your Grace.

GREGOR grabs the hilt of his sword. The king's soldiers also take hold of their weapons. GREGOR looks at CERSEI. CERSEI turns and walks back up the stairs. GREGOR follows.

"It looks like Gregor became a much better dog than before he doesn't bite until ordered" Tyrion mused

"But what were you thinking barring your mother from attending her daughters funeral" Jamie asked Tonmen who could only shrink in his seat.

"I don't know why I did that" Tonmen said

"Maybe if you wait and watch we will have our anwers" Joanna Lannister said

KING'S LANDING - GREAT SEPT OF BAELOR

TOMMEN and JAIME are standing beside the body of MYRCELLA. She has funeral stones over her eyes, with painted eyes on them.

TOMMEN: She grew up.

JAIME: Almost.

TOMMEN: Have we caught Prince Trystane's killers? I expect it was Mother.

JAIME: Your mother wouldn't do that.

TOMMEN: Yes, she would.

JAIME: Are you angry with her?

TOMMEN: Of course not.

JAIME: Then why didn't you let her come? She has every right to be here.

TOMMEN: They told me she wouldn't be allowed in the sept. If she had tried --

"See Jamie you need to have patience, giving guidance is different from just asking questions" Joanna Lannister said to her son.

JAIME: They're not putting your mother in a cell ever again. Not while I'm here. Why haven't you gone to see her? Everything she endured, she did it for you.

TOMMEN: Don't you think I know that? I'm sorry. But I can't.

JAIME: Why not?

TOMMEN: When the Faith Militant seized her and Margaery, what did I do? When they paraded her through the streets like a whore, what did I do?

JAIME: We all fail sometimes.

TOMMEN: The king is supposed to be the Protector of the Realm. If I can't even protect my own wife or my own mother, what good am I?

"It's okay to fail Tonmen, you can always learn from your mistakes but you need to be firm when you make a decision" Tyrion explained to his nephew who nodded his head.

The HIGH SPARROW enters the sept. JAIME takes TOMMEN by the shoulder.

JAIME: Go and see your mother and ask her to forgive you.

JAIME and TOMMEN to address the HIGH SPARROW.

HIGH SPARROW: Your Grace. Lord Commander.

TOMMEN: I want to see my wife.

HIGH SPARROW: The gods wait for Queen Margaery to confess her crimes and seek their mercy. The king must wait as well.

JAIME: Go and see your mother, Tommen.

TOMMEN exits.

"This bastard is really a bold man" Jamie said

"More than bold he is a fanatic who doesn't care about anything" Tyrion added.

JAIME: You're a bold man.

HIGH SPARROW: On the contrary. I fear a great deal. The Father, the Mother, the Warrior.

The HIGH SPARROW approaches MYRCELLA's body.

HIGH SPARROW: Do you know why we use these stones? To remind us not to fear death. We close our eyes on this world and open them on the next.

"Is that true did you live in the afterlife" Myrcella asked

"It's more like eternal rest than another life" Joanna Lannister said

"Exactly though if we want to talk with our ancestors we can do that as well but it's mostly a blissful sleep" Rickard added.

JAIME: You must long for the next life.

HIGH SPARROW: In truth, I fear that, too.

JAIME: You imprisoned and humiliated my sister.

HIGH SPARROW: Your sister sought the gods' mercy and atoned for her sin.

JAIME: What about my sins?

JAIME approaches the HIGH SPARROW.

JAIME: I broke a sacred oath and stabbed my king in the back. I killed my own cousin. When the gods judged my brother guilty, I helped him escape their justice. What atonement do I deserve?

JAIME grips the hilt of his dagger and partially draws it.

HIGH SPARROW: You would spill blood in this holy place?

JAIME: Oh, the gods won't mind. They've spilled more blood than the rest of us combined.

HIGH SPARROW: Go on, then. I deserve it. We all do. We are weak, vain creatures. We live only by the Mother's mercy.

A great number of the Faith Militant encircle JAIME and the HIGH SPARROW on the steps of the sept.

JAIME: They should be closer if you mean for them to save you.

HIGH SPARROW: I don't. They'd never reach me before you struck.

JAIME: I've fought against worse odds.

HIGH SPARROW: No doubt many of us would fall. But who are we, hmm? We have no names, no family. Every one of us is poor and powerless. And yet together, we can overthrow an empire.

The HIGH SPARROW walks slowly away from JAIME.

"Okay, he is not just a fanatic but a power hungry man as well"

Tyrion smiled as he heard his brother, "Well ofcourse everyman is hungry for power brother it may by martial like you or political like me"

RED KEEP - CERSEI'S CHAMBER

CERSEI is looking over the balcony at King's Landing. TOMMEN enters her chamber.

TOMMEN: Mother.

CERSEI walks in from the balcony.

CERSEI: Did they put her in the red gown or the gold?

TOMMEN: Gold.

CERSEI: Good. It was always her color.

CERSEI walks over to a side table and drinks a sip of wine. Her back is facing TOMMEN.

TOMMEN: I'm sorry for keeping you here. I shouldn't have, but I was -- I didn't want to lose you again.

CERSEI: I understand. I'm glad to see you.

TOMMEN: I know I should have come sooner. I wanted to. I was wrong.

CERSEI: It's all right.

TOMMEN: No, it isn't.

CERSEI turns to face TOMMEN.

TOMMEN: I should have executed all of them. I should have pulled down the sept onto the High Sparrow's head before I let them do that to you, as you would have for me. You raised me to be strong...and I wasn't. But I want to be. Help me.

CERSEI: Always.

CERSEI and TOMMEN embrace.
