"Walk of Punishment" is the third episode of the third season of HBO's fantasy television series Game of Thrones, and the 23rd episode of the series. Written by David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Benioff, it aired on April 14, 2013.

The title of the episode alludes to a place called "The Walk of Punishment" in the series, a road where slaves are crucified and displayed as examples to the slaves who thought of disobeying their masters.

The episode received a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Costumes for a Series at the 65th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

Tywin Lannister (Charles Dance) calls a meeting of the Small Council. He demands knowledge of Jaime's location, which the spymaster, Lord Varys (Conleth Hill), is unable to provide. Tywin then announces plans to have Lord Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen) wed Lysa Arryn to deprive Robb Stark of more allies in the war. Tywin names his son Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) as Baelish's replacement as Master of Coin (treasurer), despite Tyrion's pointing out his lack of expertise. Later, while retrieving the ledgers for his new appointment, Lord Baelish advises Tyrion on the job. Tyrion then rewards his squire Podrick Payne (Daniel Portman) with the services of three prostitutes for saving his life in the Battle of the Blackwater; Tyrion is later surprised to discover that all three prostitutes refuse payment due to Podrick's skill in lovemaking. While going over the books, Tyrion discovers that as treasurer Baelish has borrowed millions in gold from Tywin, as well as tens of millions from the Iron Bank of Braavos. A debt to Tywin is a problem since, regardless of his familial relationship with the king, Tyrion fears he will not forgive the debt despite the crown's dire straits. However, he is more worried about the Iron Bank, since if they are not paid back in due time they may very well begin funding the Crown's enemies.
