Game of Thrones · Season 1, Episode 15

Jaqen H'ghar, The Waif and others in “Unfinished Business”

[As Arya returns the face she stole from the Hall of Faces, she is confronted by Jaqen and the Waif.]

A girl has taken a life. The wrong life.

WThe Waif

I was right about her.

You were.

WThe Waif

You're not ready. Not at all.

That man's life was not yours to take. A girl stole from the Many-Faced God. Now a debt is owed. [holds up a vial of poison from the Pool and removes the cork; horrified, Arya struggles as the Waif forces her closer] Only death can pay for life.

[Jaqen lifts the vial and drinks it himself. The Waif releases Arya, who stares up at Jaqen in horror as he collapses to the ground.]

No! No! No, you... don't die! Don't die!

WThe Waif

Why are you crying?

He was my friend.

WThe Waif

No, he wasn't. Didn't you listen to him? [her voice changes to that of Jaqen] He was no one. [Arya spins around in shock to discover Jaqen, who had been using the Waif's face]

But if you're... who's this?

No one at all. Just as a girl should have been before she took a face from the Hall. The faces are for no one. You are still someone. And to someone, the faces are as good as poison.

[Arya removes several faces from the dead man, eventually discovering her own face. Her vision starts to blur.]

I can't see. What's happening? What's happening?!
