[ROBB looks on smiling and clapping. TALISA looks at ROBB with a worried look. ROOSE and CATELYN look at ROSLIN and EDMURE being carried out of the halll]
"Poor girl."
"Every bride suffers the same. I'm sure you endured yours with grace."
"Oh, Ned forbade it. He said it wouldn't be right if he broke a man's jaw on our wedding night."
Brandon eyed his brother with a degree of surprise.
Ned shrugged.
"Only I can do that to my wife" he explained.
Catelyn blushed.
Brandon snorted.
The children cringed.
Lyanna choked on a laugh.
Rickard was stoic, yet his eyes were amused.
[ROBB and TALISA watch as the bedding procession is almost Finished]
"That is a very strange custom."
"I suppose it does seem strange from a foreigner's perspective."
"It seems normal to you?"
"It's tradition. Without the bedding ceremony, there's no real proof the lord and lady consummated their marriage."
[TALISA puts her hand on ROBB'S shoulder, and runs it down his arm, before grabbing his hand and placing it on her stomach]
"No, but there are other ways of providing proof."
Robb choked.
Ned and Catelyn eyed the vision with surprise.
"She's with child" Catelyn said with a degree of awe.
Jon clapped his brother on the shoulder with a grin. But seeing the nervousness it dimmed slightly.
"You'll be a good father" Jon assured him though he knew wha was coming, he could only say this "You had a great father, you know what to do."
If I can manage to survive this war, Robb thought. He hadn't forgotten his suicidal plan of attacking Casterly Rock. If he died, what would happen to the Babe or Talisa?
"But if it's a boy, I know what we should name him."
"Oh, do you? It seems to me the father should have some say in his son's naming."
"Eddard."
Ned choked on air and Catelyn rubbed his back soothingly.
"She wishes to name the child after me" he whispered to his wife.
"Are you surprised? Robb practically worships the ground you walk on. No doubt he's told Talisa of who you were, stories and everything. Who wouldn't want to name their child after a man like you?"
Ned did not trust his voice to not break. So he lowered his head and leaned on his wife instead.
[The scene then changes again to the main gate of The Twins, where the tents are set up and men are still celebrating. THE HOUND and ARYA approach the gate, riding the pig farmer's cart. Three Frey guards stop THE HOUND and ARYA From entering The Twins. After some back and forth, THE HOUND gives up. As he looks back, he notices that ARYA is not in the cart. The scene then switches back to the hall inside of The Twins. WALDER signals for everybody to be quiet. WALDER stands up with a cup in his hand and addresses ROBB.]
"Your Grace. I feel I've been remiss in my duties."
[The band starts playing "The Rains of Castamere."]
Catelyn's eyes widened a fraction at the music. No, surely not.
Ned's emotions turned to ice, eyes widened in horror.
"That's not very cheerful music for a wedding" Bran whispered to Arya.
Arya shrugged. Neither of them had heard this song before.
[The band's expression is very serious and the song isn't as cheerful as their previous songs. CATELYN looks scared. ROOSE slowly turns his head to look at CATELYN. He's smiling as he looks down at his arm, inviting CATELYN to take a look]
"I've given you meat and wine and music but I haven't shown you the hospitality you deserve. My king has married and I owe my new queen a wedding gift.'
[CATELYN pulls back ROOSE'S sleeve, she sees that he's wearing chainmail.]
"Traitor!" Brandon spat so viciously and venomously that the entire hall jumped, too caught up with what was going on to pay attention to anything else.
"No" Joanna whispered weakly. Tywin wouldn't... her Tywin would not.
[She starts gasping as ROOSE stares at her. She suddenly gets up from her seat and slaps ROOSE across the face, prompting him to run to the other side of the hall. LOTHAR pulls a knife out of his sleeve and repeatedly stabs TALISA in the stomach from behind.]
"NO!" Robb jumped to his feet, eyes widened in horror. His wife... his child! This couldn't be happening. They were under the protection of the Freys!
[She starts screaming as ROBB looks on in horror. As ROBB starts to approach her, the band now have crossbows and they shoot arrows at Robb, hitting him.]
"Robb!" Catelyn choked out, tears pooling in her eyes at the horror before her. Her son, her handsome Robb. Her boy!
[The rest of the Frey men in the hall start slaughtering the Stark men. ROBB is repeatedly shot with arrows and falls to the ground. TALISA falls to the ground in agony. CATELYN in shock over ROBB, gets hit in the shoulder by an arrow, making her fall down. As the massacre continues, WALDER smiles and sips from his cup. The scene then switches to ARYA sneaking into The Twins. She hides behind a barrel and watches some Stark men eating with Frey men in front of the kennel that Grey Wind is in. The Frey men kill the Stark men. They flip over the table and march off as ARYA hides in the shadows of the barrels. ARYA can hear Grey Wind whimpering as he tries to break out of the locked kennel. She goes behind the flipped-over table and sees Grey Wind jumping up and down. Suddenly, Frey men appear with crossbows. Grey Wind growls at them before they shoot him to death.]
"Gr-Greywind" Robb muttered weakly, falling back and almost missing the chair. His eyes were wide, tears falling freely from them.
[ARYA is horrified. She watches as Grey Wind takes his last breath and dies. She then notices more Frey men emerging from a doorway. She starts walking towards the doorway until THE HOUND puts his hand on her shoulder and turns her around. THE HOUND hits ARYA on the back of the head, knocking her out. He carries her over his shoulder and starts exiting The Twins.]
"No" Arya muttered with angry eyes. She needed to be there with her mother. She needed to save her!
But she was one girl against an army. How could she alone win against them?
[The scene then changes to CATELYN crawling underneath the table in the hall with the arrow still lodged in her shoulder. She notices JOYEUSE hiding underneath the main table. ROBB gazes at TALISA laying on the ground with her hand on her bloodied stomach. He starts crawling towards her. WALDER notices and signals for everybody to stop.]
"The King in the North arises, heh heh."
"Fucking bastard" Elia spat, anger in her eyes and her tone. As someone who'd seen her children die before her, she knew the pain Catelyn was going through. It was not a pain she'd wish on anyone.
Not even those Lannisters that killed her children.
[ROBB places one hand on TALISA'S stomach and lifts her head up with his other hand. She has already died. CATELYN grabs a dagger and emerges from under the table. She grabs JOYEUSE by the hair and drags her out from under the main table. CATELYN presses the dagger against JOYEUSE'S throat as WALDER looks on. The archers fix their sights on CATELYN]
"Lord Walder! Lord Walder, enough! Let it end! Please! He is my son!"
[ROBB is still cradling TALISA on the floor]
"My first son! Let him go and I swear that we will forget this! I swear it by the Old Gods and New! We will take no vengeance."
"Not the right words" Doran mumbled softly. Vengeance... oaths... those mean nothing to a man who's already been scorned once. A man that holds little value for the laws of man and gods.
"You already swore me one oath right here in my castle. You swore by all the Gods, your son would marry my daughter!"
[ROBB lays TALISA'S head on the ground]
"Take me for a hostage but let Robb go! Robb, get up! Get up and walk out! Please! Please!"
"Please!" Catelyn begged weakly. Gods let her son live this, please!
"And why I would let him do that?"
[CATELYN straightens up and presses the dagger harder against JOYEUSE'S neck]
"On my honour as a Tully, on my honour as a Stark, let him go or I will cut your wife's throat!"
[ROBB starts to stand up]
"I'll find another."
[ROBB turns to CATELYN]
"Mother."
[CATELYN turns to ROBB with tears in her eyes as ROOSE suddenly reappears in front of ROBB. He faces ROBB and grabs him by the shoulder]
"The Lannisters send their regards."
[ROOSE thrusts a dagger into ROBB'S heart. While still staring at CATELYN, ROBB dies and collapses to the floor next to TALISA.
[CATELYN wails loudly while WALDER takes a sip from his cup. She slits JOYEUSE'S throat with the dagger, killing her. JOYEUSE Falls to the ground with blood spraying from her neck and CATELYN drops the e dagger. She looks on hopelessly, in a dreary daze. After a long pause, BLACK WALDER finally emerges behind CATELYN and slits her throat, killing her. She falls to the floor with blood spraying from her neck.]
The Wall turns black.
