Arya successfully secures passage back to Westeros by bribing a Westerosi trader, while walking the streets of Braavos. However, she is subsequently attacked on a nearby bridge and repeatedly stabbed in the abdomen by the Waif, who uses the disguise of an elderly woman. Arya pushes the Waif away, and barely escapes by jumping off the bridge and swimming away underwater. Surfacing, she feels her wounded stomach with her hands as blood covers them. She is then left stumbling through the streets, critically wounded, as many of the Braavosi merchants stare.

Back in the dressing room, Arya stops Lady Crane from drinking her rum, and warns her that her rival Bianca wants her dead. The scene is witnessed by the Waif, who returns to tell Jaqen H’ghar of Arya’s failure.

ARYA: You’re very good.
LADY CRANE: My final speech is shit. But to be fair to myself, which I always like to be, the writing’s no good.
ARYA: So change it. It would all just be farting, belching, and slapping without you.
HLADY CRANE: ow would you change it?
ARYA: The queen loves her son more than anything. And he was taken from her before she could say good-bye. She wouldn’t just cry. She would be angry. She would want to kill the person who did this to her.
LADY CRANE: What’s your name?
ARYA: Mercy.
LADY CRANE: You have very expressive eyes, Mercy. Wonderful eyebrows. Do you like pretending to be other people?
ARYA: I have to go. My father’s waiting for me.
