[Robb, Catelyn, Talisa and Edmure discuss what to do with Rickard Karstark]
Edmure Tully : Word of this can't leave Riverrun. They were Tywin Lannister's nephews. The Lannisters pay their debts. They never stop talking about it.
Robb Stark : Would you make me a liar as well as a murderer?
Edmure Tully : It wouldn't be lying. We will bury them and remain silent until the war is done.
Robb Stark : I'm not fighting for justice if I don't serve justice to murderers in my ranks, no matter how highborn. He has to die.
Catelyn Stark : The Karstarks are Northmen. They won't forgive the killing of their lord.
Talisa Maegyr : Your mother's right. If you do this, the Karstarks will abandon you.
Robb Stark : You tended to their wounds. You brought them supper. Now they're dead.
Talisa Maegyr : And more boys will keep dying until this war is over. You need Karstark men to end it.
Catelyn Stark : Spare his life. Keep him as a hostage.
Edmure Tully : [nods] A hostage. Tell the Karstarks that as long as they remain loyal, he will not be harmed.
[everyone watches Robb, waiting for his decree. At last he decides to execute Rickard. Rickard is brought out to the courtyard of Riverrun to be executed during a heavy rainstorm. He looks at Robb defiantly]
Rickard Karstark : The blood of the First Men flows through my veins as much as yours, boy. I fought the Mad King for your father. I fought Joffrey for you. We are kin - Stark and Karstark.
Robb Stark : That didn't stop you from betraying me. And it won't save you now.
Rickard Karstark : I don't want it to save me. I want it to haunt you to the end of your days.
Robb Stark : Kneel, my lord.
[Rickard lies on the block]
Robb Stark : Rickard Karstark, Lord of Karhold, here in sight of gods and men, I sentence you to die. Would you speak a final word?
Rickard Karstark : Kill me, and be cursed. You are no king of mine!
[Robb beheads Rickard. Then he drops his sword and walks away]
