[[Tyrion Lannister|Tyrion]], locked in the black cells beneath the [[Red Keep]], is rescued by [[Jaime Lannister|Jaime]]. His brother tells him that he is to be beheaded on the morrow, and informs him that he coerced [[Varys]] into helping him charter a ship to take Tyrion from [[King's Landing]]. When Jaime tells him that the rescue was a debt he owed him, Tyrion presses his brother, and learns that [[Tysha]] was not a whore, but a crofter’s daughter, just as she appeared. Lord [[Tywin Lannister|Tywin]] had forced Jaime all those years ago to lie about Tysha so as to teach Tyrion a lesson. Tyrion is infuriated that his brother never told him the truth, and punches Jaime in the face. Tyrion warns him that he will exact revenge against him, [[Tywin Lannister|their father]], and [[Cersei Lannister|Cersei]], as a [[House Lannister|Lannister]] always pays his debts. Jaime then asks if Tyrion poisoned [[Joffrey Baratheon|Joffrey]] and, lying in his anger, Tyrion admits to doing so.  He also tells Jaime that Cersei is sleeping with [[Lancel Lannister|Lancel]] and Ser [[Osmund Kettleblack|Osmund]] and perhaps others, and that Joffrey would have been a monster worse than [[Aerys II Targaryen|Aerys]] if he remained king.

Synopsis

Tyrion, locked in the black cells beneath the Red Keep, is rescued by Jaime. His brother tells him that he is to be beheaded on the morrow, and informs him that he coerced Varys into helping him charter a ship to take Tyrion from King's Landing. When Jaime tells him that the rescue was a debt he owed him, Tyrion presses his brother, and learns that Tysha was not a whore, but a crofter’s daughter, just as she appeared. Lord Tywin had forced Jaime all those years ago to lie about Tysha so as to teach Tyrion a lesson. Tyrion is infuriated that his brother never told him the truth, and punches Jaime in the face. Tyrion warns him that he will exact revenge against him, their father, and Cersei, as a Lannister always pays his debts. Jaime then asks if Tyrion poisoned Joffrey and, lying in his anger, Tyrion admits to doing so. He also tells Jaime that Cersei is sleeping with Lancel and Ser Osmund and perhaps others, and that Joffrey would have been a monster worse than Aerys if he remained king.

Tyrion stalks off without a further word, and confronts Varys for his betrayal. The eunuch concedes that he cannot find a trace of Sansa, then leads him deeper down, to the fourth level where Maegor had built torture chambers. When they come to a circular tower chamber with a ladder leading up, Tyrion realizes it leads up to the Tower of the Hand. Commanding Varys to wait for him, Tyrion ascends the wickedly high ladder.

The whore pleads that the Queen made her say all those things against him in court, but Tyrion strangles her with the chain he once wore. Grabbing a crossbow off the wall, he finds his father in the privy.
