History
Prelude
Oberyn Martell is killed during the Trial by combat of Tyrion Lannister, and Tyrion is sentenced to death by his father Tywin. In the middle of the night, while Tyrion is waiting to be executed, his brother Jaime Lannister suddenly enters his cell and frees him. Jaime instructs Tyrion that Varys will help him escape the city, and the two brothers hug and say goodbye. Instead, Tyrion decides to confront his father in the Tower of the Hand before leaving the city.
Kinslayer
Tyrion enters the tower through a secret passage in the floor, and finds Shae in his father's bed. Shae grabs a dagger, but Tyrion disarms her and strangles her to death with her father's necklace around her neck. He immediately feels regret and apologizes after Shae is dead. He then takes a crossbow off the wall with additional bolts, and finds his father sitting on the privy. Tywin assumes that Jaime is the one who released Tyrion, and tells Tyrion to put the crossbow down so they can talk. Tywin refers to Shae as just a whore, and Tyrion warns him that he will kill Tywin if he calls her a whore again. Tywin says "whore" a second time, and Tyrion shoots him in the stomach with the crossbow. Tyrion reloads the crossbow and shoots Tywin in the heart, killing him.
Aftermath
Tyrion goes to Varys' chambers, and Varys knows he has done something horrible. Varys loads him into a crate, and the crate is loaded onto a ship for the Free Cities. Varys walks away from the ship, then hears the bells tolling from the Red Keep, announcing Tywin's death. Varys turns around and boards the ship with Tyrion.
