CASTLE BLACK – JON SNOW'S CHAMBER

JON SNOW is sitting by the fireplace. He is looking to the ground. Someone knocks on the door. DOLOROUS EDD walks in.

DOLOROUS EDD: It's time.

JON SNOW gets up, drops his vest with the stab holes in it on the table, and grabs his sword Longclaw.

"So it's the execution time?" Bran asked

"Yes, since I came back alive they need to gather all the brothers of the watch on castle black to watch the execution." Aemon explained

"They will be having a hard time to beleive how you return back from the dead" Arya said with an excited smile.

CASTLE BLACK – COURTYARD

MELISANDRE is standing on a balcony overlooking the courtyard. TORMUND, DAVOS, the wildlings, and the Night's Watch are all in attendance. JON SNOW walks past them, going up the stairs towards the gallows. DOLOROUS EDD accompanies him. BOWEN MARSH, OTHELL YARWICK, ALLISER THORNE, and OLLY are standing on a platform with their hands tied and ropes around their necks. JON SNOW looks up at them.

JON SNOW: If you have any last words, now is the time.

BOWEN MARSH: You shouldn't be alive. It's not right.

JON SNOW: Neither was killing me.

OTHELL YARWICK: My mother's still living at White Harbor. Could you write her? Tell her I died fighting the wildings.

"Why should he do that? He died betraying the nights watch and now he wants his mother to think he died fighting for the watch" Arya said

"That's because he believed what he was doing was for the watch. Of course what he did was betrayel and he will die for it but what version of truth his mother needs to know depends on Jon" Rickard Stark said

"Who knows what that Jon will do" Aemon said with a shrug when Arya turned towards him.

"What would you have done?" Arya asked

"I don't lie for the one who betrayed me" Aemon stated

ALLISER THRONE: I had a choice, Lord Commander. Betray you or betray the Night's Watch. You brought an army of wildlings into our lands. An army of muderers and raiders. If I had to do it all over knowing where I'd end up, I pray I'd make the right choice again.

JON SNOW: I'm sure you would, Ser Alliser.

ALLISER THRONE: I fought, I lost. Now I rest. But you, Lord Snow, you'll be fighting their battles forever.

"Even now he is such a stubborn guy that he won't even think that what he did was wrong." Lyanna said with venom in her voice.

"Maybe he would feel something of he knew I was a Targaryen rather than a Stark bastard" Aemon said to his mother who replied back with a smirk.

JON SNOW looks at OLLY. OLLY stares back at him, unwavering. JON SNOW turns his back and unsheathes Longclaw. He breathes heavily. JON SNOW cuts the rope. The platform is pulled out from under the traitors' feet. They are hung. They choke and die. JON SNOW looks at OLLY again. OLLY's face is blue and swollen. JON SNOW sheathes his sword, then walks up to DOLOROUS EDD.

DOLOROUS EDD: We should burn the bodies.

JON SNOW: You should.

JON SNOW takes off his cape and hands it to DOLOROUS EDD.

DOLOROUS EDD: What do you want me to do with this?

JON SNOW: Wear it. Burn it. Whatever you want. You have Castle Black.

JON SNOW walks down the stairs.

JON SNOW: My watch is ended.

Everyone in attendance watches JON SNOW walk away.

"What did he mean that his watch has ended, isn't it for your whole life?" Tonmen asked

"It is until your death, and I already died so I am free from my Oaths" Aemon explained

"No, isn't this just playing with words. They never thought that there would be someone who would die and than revive like you" Gendry said

"The one who created the oath knew about reviving from the dead but didn't include it as most of those who revived from the dead are white" Aemon explained

"It's like the gods were helping Jon, as he needed to be free from his Oaths of the Wall to free the North from Boltons." Brandon the Elder said.

CASTLE BLACK - JON SNOW'S ROOM

Longclaw is lying on a table. DOLOROUS EDD lifts and admires it, then turns to JON SNOW who is putting some items in a bag.

DOLOROUS EDD: Where you gonna go?

JON SNOW: South.

DOLOROUS EDD: What are you gonna do?

JON SNOW: Get warm.

"Haa! Like you would feel comfortable in somewhere warm" Robb said

"Anywhere is warm after you went North of the Wall" Aemon said

"That's true" Robb nodded

JON SNOW smiles. DOLOROUS EDD places Longclaw on the table.

DOLOROUS EDD: I was with you at Hardhome. We saw what's out there. We know it's coming here. How can you leave us now?

JON SNOW: I did everything I could. You know that.

DOLOROUS EDD: You swore a vow.

JON SNOW: Aye, I pledged my life to the Night's Watch. I gave my life.

DOLOROUS EDD: For all nights to come.

JON SNOW: They killed me, Edd! My own brothers. You want me to stay here after that?

"Yes, it's hard to trust others when you have been stabbed in the chest like that" Jon Arryn said

"He hasn't even thought of what to really do right now, I think it would be Sansa Stark and Ramsay Bolton who would push him to war" Renly Baratheon said

A single horn sounds outside. JON SNOW and DOLOROUS EDD look to the doorway.

MAN (O.S.): Riders approaching!

MAN #2 (O.S.): Open the gate!

CASTLE BLACK - COURTYARD

The southern gates open. SANSA, BRIENNE, and PODRICK enter the courtyard on horseback. The Night's Watch and the Wildlings all watfch them. TORMUND stares intently at BRIENNE. The trio dismount from their horses. JON SNOW and DOLOROUS EDD emerge onto a balcony overlooking the courtyard. SANSA slowly spins around until she and JON SNOW lock eyes. JON SNOW descends from the balcony and walks to SANSA. They stare at each other and then embrace.

"Finally I thought that Sansa would only reach Castle Black after Jon left" Arya said

"I felt the same way" Sansa added

CASTLE BLACK - JON SNOW'S ROOM

JON SNOW and SANSA are sitting by the fire. SANSA lifts a bowl to her lips and drinks from it.

SANSA: This is good soup. Do you remember those kidney pies Old Nan used to make?

JON SNOW: With the peas and onions?

SANSA: Mmm.

JON SNOW: We never should have left Winterfell.

SANSA: Don't you wish we could go back to the day we left? I want to scream at myself, "Don't go, you idiot."

JON SNOW: How could we know?

SANSA: I spent a lot of time thinking about what as ass I was to you. I wish I could change everything.

JON SNOW: We were children.

SANSA: I was awful, just admit it.

JON SNOW chuckles.

JON SNOW: You were occasionally awful. I'm sure I can't have been great fun. Always sulking in the corner while the rest of you played.

SANSA: Can you forgive me?

JON SNOW: There's nothing to forgive.

SANSA: Forgive me.

JON SNOW: All right. All right, I forgive you.

"Jon! no, Aemon cam you forgive me" Sansa asked

Jon smiled towards Sansa and said, "Unlike her you didn't have much chance to be awful with me Sansa so there is nothing to forgive."

"But I called you Bastard just to please mother even though you didn't deserve it." Sansa said

"Ok, I forgive you happy" Aemon said only then Sansa smiled and nodded his head.

SANSA laughs, then holds out her hand for JON SNOW's horn of ale. JON SNOW gives it to her. She sips, then coughs. JON SNOW laughs.

JON SNOW: You'd think after thousands of years, the Night's Watch would have learned how to make a good ale.

SANSA: Where will you go?

JON SNOW: Where will we go? If I don't watch over you, Father's ghost will come back and murder me.

SANSA: Where will we go?

JON SNOW: I can't stay here, not after what happened.

SANSA: There's only one place we can go. Home.

JON SNOW: Should we tell the Boltons to pack up and leave?

SANSA: We'll take it back from them.

JON SNOW: I don't have an army.

SANSA: How many wildlings did you save?

JON SNOW: They didn't come here to serve me.

SANSA: They owe you their lives.

"Jon didn't save them so that he could use them for his fight against the Bolton" Ned Stark said

"But the don't have a choice Ramsay Bolton and Smalljon Umber will hunt them down if they don't kill them first" Lyaana stated

SANSA stands and walks to a table. She places her bowl down on it.

SANSA: You think they'll be safe here if Roose Bolton remains Warden of the North?

JON SNOW: Sansa.

SANSA: Winterfell is our home. It's ours and Arya's and Bran's and Rickon's. Wherever they are, it belongs to our family. We have to fight for it.

JON SNOW: I'm tired of fighting.

JON SNOW stands and turns to face SANSA.

JON SNOW: It's all I've done since I left home. I've killed brothers of the Night's Watch. I've killed wildlings. I've killed men that I admire. I hanged a boy younger than Bran. I fought and I lost.

"He really didn't have any breather did he, fighting against one enemy after another even death didn't give him end as he was revived and now he has to fight again" Rhaegar said with worry.

"Hard times brings Hard Kings, Hard Kings brings peaceful time, Peaceful Times brings Weak Kings and Weak Kings brings Hard Times" Aemon said

Everyone in room heard him and felt that these words really were insightful just look at the history of Westeros and you will find it to be true.

SANSA: If we don't take back the North, we'll never be safe. I want you to help me. But I'll do it myself if I have to.
