[Davos storms into the great hall of Winterfell and throws Shireen's burnt stag figurine to Melisandre]
What is that?
Tell him! Tell him who it belonged to.
The Princess Shireen.
Tell him what you did to her! TELL HIM!
We burnt her at the stake.
[Jon looks horrified]
[tearfully] Why?
The army was trapped, the horses were dying! It was the only way.
You burned a little girl alive!
I only do what my Lord commands me!
If he commands you to burn children, your Lord is evil!
We are standing here because of him. Jon Snow is alive because the Lord willed it.
I loved that girl! Like she was my own! She was good, she was kind and you killed her!
So did her father. So did her mother. Her own blood knew it was the only way!
The only way for what?! They all died anyway! You told everyone Stannis was the one, you had him believing it, all of them fooled, and you lied!
I didn't lie! I was wrong.
Aye. You were wrong. How many died because you were wrong? [to Jon] I ask your leave to execute this woman for murder. She admits to the crime.
Do you have anything to say for yourself?
I've been ready to die for many years. If the Lord was done with me, so be it, but he's not. You've seen the Night King, Jon Snow. You know the great war is still to come. You know the army of the dead will be upon us soon. And you know I can help you win that war.
[stares at Melisandre for a moment] Ride south today. If you return to the North, I'll have you hanged as a murderer.
If you ever come back this way, I'll execute you myself!
