WINTERFELL - DINING HALL
ROOSE, RAMSAY, and LORD KARSTARK are gathered at the dining table, talking. RAMSAY and Lord Harold KARSTARK are standing, while ROOSE remains seated at the head of the table.
LORD KARSTARK: He came upon the bodies on our way here.
ROOSE: Half a dozen men? Your best hunters?
RAMSAY: They obviously had help.
ROOSE: I didn't think lady Sansa killed them all by herself. Thank you for this report, Lord Kastark.
RAMSAY: We know where she's going. Her brother's at Castle Black.
LORD KARSTARK: Ned Stark's last surviving son?
ROOSE: Jon Snow is a bastard, not a Stark.
RAMSAY: So was I, Father.
LORD KARSTARK: Your hold on the North will never be secure as long as a Stark can walk through that door.
RAMSAY: Castle Black isn't defended on the southern side. And the few men left are barely men at all. Farm boys and thieves. With a small force we could storm the castle, kill Jon Snow --
ROOSE: Murder the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch? You'd unite every house in the North against us.
RAMSAY: We don't need every house in the North. The Umbers, the Manderlys, and the Karstarks. command more soldiers than all the other houses combined. With their support, none could challenge us.
"I don't know about the rest but it will be highly impossible for them to get the Manderlys" Robb said
"True they still remember what the Stark's did for them" Aemon Targaryen said
"The Umbers are loyal to the Stark's as well" Lyaana said
"They are but they also hate the free folk the most and when they find out it was Jon Snow who let them through the wall who knows what they will do." Aemon said
"Yo aren't wrong even in my time as the lord, the Umbers hated the Wildlings with passion I don't think that had changed" Rickard Stark said then he turned towards Ned who nodded his head as if to prove that Rickard wasn't wrong.
LORD KARSTARK: The Starks lost my house the day King Rob cut off my father's head. It's time for new blood in the North.
Robb winced as he heard Harold Karstark's words.
"You went to war because your father was captured and then beheaded, why did you think that the Karstark's would remain loyal after what you beheaded his father" Aemon asked
Robb didn't have anything to retort back as it really was his fault and now Sansa was paying for it.
ROOSE looks at both his son and lord Karstark. He gets up and stands in front of them.
ROOSE: If you acquire a reputation as a mad dog, you'll be treated as a mad dog. Taken out back and slaughtered for pig feed.
MAESTER WOLKAN enters and interrupts them.
MAESTER WOLKAN: My lords. Lady Walda has given birth. A boy. Red-cheeked and healthy.
LORD KARSTARK: My congratulations, Lord Bolton.
RAMSAY steps towards his father. They hug.
RAMSEY: Congratulations, Father. I look forward to meeting my new brother.
ROOSE puts his hand on RAMSAY's shoulder.
ROOSE: You'll always be my firstborn.
RAMSAY: Thank you for saying that. It means a great deal to me.
RAMSAY stabs ROOSE in the gut with a knife. ROOSE falls to the ground. ROOSE dies. RAMSAY steps away from ROOSE and cleans his knife.
"Wow! I didn't see that coming!?" Tyrion said sarcastically
"We all saw it coming except Roose Bolton, maybe he thought Ramsay wouldn't dare but he was wrong." Margaery stated
RAMSAY: Maester Wolkan, send ravens to all the Northern houses. Roose Bolton is dead. Poisoned by our enemies.
MAESTER WOLKAN does not respond.
RAMSAY: How did he die?
MAESTER WOLKAN: Poisoned by his enemies.
LORD KARSTARK: You're talking to your lord. Use respect.
MAESTER WOLKAN: Forgive me, my lord.
RAMSAY: Send for Lady Walda and the baby.
MAESTER WOLKAN: She's resting, my lord.
RAMSAY glares at MAESTER WOLKAN.
MAESTER WOLKAN: At once, my lord.
RAMSAY looks down at ROOSE's body.
"He is going to kill the baby and Lady Walda isn't he!" Arya asked
"Yes, he can't have someone who will threaten his position after all he did to get it." Tyrion stated and as if to prove him right Ramsay did exactly that.
In his position as the new Lord Bolton, Ramsay orders the maester to announce that Roose was poisoned by their enemies, then personally feeds Walda and his half-brother to the hounds.
"God this bastard is a psychopath!" Robb said
"Yeah, the moment I get back I will kill him. It doesn't matter if he hasn't done anything yet, I will still kill him" Aemon said
NORTHERN WILDERNESS - DAY
THEON is gathering wood. He glances at SANSA and BRIENNE, who are in conversation. PODRICK is making a fire.
BRIENNE: I saw her with a man. I don't think he hurt her. She didn't want to leave him, he didn't want to leave her.
SANSA: You don't know which way she went?
"Looks like she told Sansa about Arya" Bran spoke
"Yeah, it's to let her know that she isn't the only one alive" Lyaana explained
BRIENNE: I spent three days looking for her. She disappeared.
SANSA: How did she look?
BRIENNE: She looked good. She wasn't exactly dressed like a lady.
SANSA smiles.
SANSA: No, she wouldn't be.
BRIENNE: What happened at Winterfell?
SANSA pauses and tears up.
SANSA: I should've gone with you while I had the chance.
BRIENNE: It was a difficult choice, my lady.
"It didn't help that she was carrying a valyrian sword gifted to her by Jamie" Tyrion said
"Shut up!"
BRIENNE looks at THEON.
BRIENNE: We've all had to make difficult choices.
THEON stands up and walks away from PODRICK. SANSA stands and walks to THEON.
THEON: We shouldn't be lighting fires. It's not safe. He won't stop hunting us.
SANSA: We just have to make it to Castle Black. Once we're with Jon, Ramsay won't be able to touch us.
"I don't know how Sansa will take when she finds out that Jon is already dead" Catelyn said in a low voice
"She will break down for sure, because that's the only place she could think of where she could have felt safe." Ned whispered back
THEON: Jon will have me killed the moment I step through the gate.
SANSA: I won't let him. I'll tell him the truth about Bran and Rickon.
THEON: And the truth about the farm boys I killed in their place? The truth about Ser Rodrik, who I beheaded?
SANSA looks to the ground.
"Even Sansa can't defend that" Robb said
"That's why he doesn't want to face me as he knows what will happen if he does" Aemon said
THEON: And the truth about Robb, who I betrayed?
SANSA: When you take the black, all your crimes are forgiven.
THEON: I don't want to be forgiven. I can never make amends to your family for all the things that I've done. They'll keep you safer than I ever could.
SANSA: You're not coming with us?
THEON: I would have taken you all the way to the Wall. I would have died to get you there.
SANSA hugs THEON. They both cry.
THEON: May I take one of the horses?
SANSA: Where will you go?
THEON: Home.
"Home!? Seriously you still think that place as your home?" Robb asked
"I don't but after all I did, that's the only place left for me"
