Quotes 

• [the cell door opens] 

  Tyrion Lannister : Oh, get on with it, you son of a whore!

  Jaime Lannister : Is that any way to speak about our mother?

• [after killing Shae, Tyrion takes a crossbow, then heads down the hall to the privy, opening the door to find his father seated upon the toilet. Tywin seems surprised to see Tyrion, but quickly regains his composure] 

  Tywin Lannister : Tyrion. Put down the crossbow.

  [Tyrion does not comply] 

  Tywin Lannister : Who released you? Your brother, I expect. He always had a soft spot for you. Come, we'll go and talk in my chambers.

  [Tywin starts to stand, but Tyrion steadies the crossbow, stopping Tywin] 

  Tywin Lannister : This is how you want to speak to me, hmm? Shaming your father has always given you pleasure.

  Tyrion Lannister : All my life you've wanted me dead.

  Tywin Lannister : Yes. But you refused to die. I respect that. Even admire it. You fight for what's yours. I'd never let them execute you. Is that what you fear? I'll never let Ilyn Payne take your head. You're a Lannister. You're my son.

  [Tyrion does not believe his father] 

  Tyrion Lannister : I loved her.

  Tywin Lannister : Who?

  Tyrion Lannister : Shae.

  Tywin Lannister : Oh, Tyrion. Put down that crossbow.

  Tyrion Lannister : I murdered her. With my own hands.

  Tywin Lannister : It doesn't matter.

  Tyrion Lannister : Doesn't matter?

  Tywin Lannister : She was a whore.

  Tyrion Lannister : [raises the crossbow]  Say that word again...

  Tywin Lannister : And what? You'll kill your own father in the privy? No. You're my son. Now, enough of this nonsense.

  Tyrion Lannister : I am your son and you sentenced me to die. You knew I didn't poison Joffrey, but you sentenced me all the same. Why?

  Tywin Lannister : Enough. We'll go back to my chambers and speak with some dignity.

  Tyrion Lannister : I can't go back there. She's in there.

  Tywin Lannister : You're afraid of a dead whore?

  [Tyrion shoots Tywin in the belly, knocking him backwards. Tywin groans in pain. Tyrion reloads the crossbow] 

  Tywin Lannister : You shot me.

  [Tywin becomes angry] 

  Tywin Lannister : Ohh... you're no son of mine.

  Tyrion Lannister : I am your son. I have always been your son.

  [Tyrion shoots again, killing his father. Tyrion discards the crossbow as he leaves. The door opens, Varys stands there. He is shocked to see Tywin dead] 

  Lord Varys : What have you done?

  [Tyrion does not answer] 

  Lord Varys : Quickly.

  [Varys pulls Tyrion away, bolting the door behind them. He leads Tyrion to a room where is a large crate] 

  Lord Varys : Trust me, my friend. I brought you this far.

  [Varys helps Tyrion to enter the crate, then shuts it. Moments later, the crate is stowed aboard a ship. Varys begins walking back towards the Red Keep, but stops when he hears the bells tolling, signaling that Tywin's body has been discovered. Realizing that returning to the castle is unsafe, Varys turns around and heads back for the ship, sitting next to Tyrion's crate in silence as the ship sails for Essos] 

• [after being released from jail by Jaime, Tyrion sneaks into his father's chambers. He finds Shae in Tywin's bed, wearing the golden chain he gave her once] 

  Shae : [mumbles]  Tywin? My lion.

  [Shae raises her head. As her vision becomes clear, she sees Tyrion, looking hurt and betrayed. She grabs a knife. Tyrion charges at her. They fight, and Tyrion forces her to drop the knife. They continue to struggle violently. Tyrion grabs the chain around her neck, the necklace he had given her, and strangles her with it until she is dead. He sinks to the floor and sits next to Shae's lifeless body, weeping] 

  Tyrion Lannister : I'm sorry... I'm sorry.

  [Tyrion stares at the wall across the room and sees several weapons on display, among them a crossbow, and his expression quickly darkens. He takes the crossbow, then heads down the hall to the privy, opening the door to find his father seated upon the toilet]
