Where are you taking me?
I'm getting married to your aunt, Lysa. She's waiting for us at the Eyrie. You'll be safe there.
Did you kill Joffrey?
[smiles] Did I kill Joffrey? I've been in the Vale, for weeks.
I know it was you.
[gives her a mocking smile] And who helped me with this conspiracy?
Well, there was Ser Dontos...You used him to get me out of King's Landing, but you would never trust him to kill the King.
Why not?
Because you're too smart to trust a drunk.
Then, perhaps it was your husband.
No.
How do you know?
I just do.
You're right. He wasn't involved in Joffrey's death. But you were. [Sansa stares at him] Do you remember that lovely necklace Dontos gave you? I don't suppose you noticed that a stone was missing, after the feast...
The poison. [he smiles] I don't understand! The Lannisters gave you wealth, power. Joffrey made you the Lord of Harrenhal!
[shrugs] A man with no motive is a man no one suspects. Always keep your foes confused. If they don't know who you are, or what you want they can't know what you plan to do next.
I don't believe you. If they catch you, they'll put your head on a spike, just like my father's. You'd risk that, just to confuse them?
So many men, they risk so little. They spend their lives avoiding danger. And then they die. I'd risk everything to get what I want.
And what do you want?
Everything. My friendship with the Lannisters was productive... but Joffrey? A vicious boy with a crown on his head. He's not a reliable ally. Who could trust a friend like that?
Who could trust you?
I don't want friends like me. My new friends are predictable, very reasonable people. As for what happened to Joffrey, well... that was something my new friends wanted, very badly. Nothing like a thoughtful gift to make a new friendship grow strong.
