Ramsay Bolton, Harald Karstark and others in “Unfinished Business”

The Umbers are a famously loyal house.

Famously loyal to the Starks.

And you, Lord Karstark, your people share blood with the Starks, don't they? But here we are. Times change.

When my father became Warden of the North, your house refused to pledge their banners.

Your father was a cunt.

My beloved father, the Warden.

Your father was a cunt and that's why you killed him. I might've done the same to my father have he hadn't done me the favor of dying on his own.

My father was poisoned by our enemies.

Hmm.

Why have you come to Winterfell, Lord Umber?

The bastard Jon Snow let an army of wildlings past the Wall. We're farther North than any of you fuckers. Wildlings come down, we always have to fight them first. I like fighting wildlings, been doing it all me life. But there are too many of them for us to beat back alone.

So now you've come seeking help.

We need to help each other. The colder it gets, the farther south those goat fuckers will roam. Won't take 'em long to get here.

You think a horde of wildlings can take Winterfell?

If they got Jon Snow leading them, maybe. He knows this place better than we ever will.

Pledge your banners to House Bolton. Swear loyalty to me as Warden of the North, and we will fight together to destroy the bastard and all his wildling friends.

I'm not kissing your fucking hand.

Traditionally a bannerman kneels before his lord.

I'm not doing that either.

Why would I trust a man who won't honor tradition?

Your father honored tradition. Knelt for Robb Stark, called him King of the North. Was Robb Stark right to trust your father?

Then it appears we're at a bit of an impasse.

Fuck kneeling and fuck oaths. I've got a gift for you.

A girl, I hope. I prefer redheads.

A girl, aye. A wild one.

I like them wild.

And the boy. Nice and young. The way Karstark likes them.

Who is this?

Rickon Stark.

How do I know that's Rickon Stark?

Welcome home, Lord Stark.
