1
00:02:29,649 --> 00:02:31,484
There you are.

2
00:02:41,202 --> 00:02:44,122
The Sea Snake is going to die,
isn't he?

3
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,086
-Luke--
-I can't be Lord of the Tides.

4
00:02:50,169 --> 00:02:52,755
Grandsire was the greatest sailor
who ever lived.

5
00:02:52,839 --> 00:02:55,633
I get greensick before the ship
even leaves the harbor.

6
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:58,344
I'll just ruin everything.

7
00:02:59,387 --> 00:03:00,930
I don't want Driftmark.

8
00:03:01,806 --> 00:03:03,391
It should've passed on to Ser Vaemond.

9
00:03:03,474 --> 00:03:06,644
We don't choose our destiny, Luke.
It chooses us.

10
00:03:06,728 --> 00:03:09,647
Grandsire let you choose
whether you'd be his heir.

11
00:03:10,690 --> 00:03:11,816
You told us so.

12
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:19,991
And do you want to know the truth of it?

13
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:23,661
I was frightened.

14
00:03:25,163 --> 00:03:28,541
I was four-and-ten.

15
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,168
Same as you are now.

16
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:35,298
I wasn't ready
to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

17
00:03:35,381 --> 00:03:38,593
But it was my duty.

18
00:03:38,676 --> 00:03:41,220
And, in time, I came to understand

19
00:03:41,304 --> 00:03:43,514
I had to earn my inheritance.

20
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:46,976
I'm not like you.

21
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:49,979
-In what way, sweet boy?
-I'm not so...

22
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:53,066
perfect.

23
00:04:03,159 --> 00:04:06,371
I am anything but.

24
00:04:06,454 --> 00:04:10,375
My father looked after me
and helped to prepare me for my duties.

25
00:04:10,458 --> 00:04:13,503
Your mother will do the same for you.

26
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,005
Good morrow, Princess.

27
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:17,632
Good morrow, Ser Lorent.

28
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,469
Princess Rhaenys
has just arrived on dragonback.

29
00:04:21,552 --> 00:04:25,098
She urgently requests an audience
with you and Prince Daemon.

30
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:44,909
The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

31
00:04:44,993 --> 00:04:46,494
Thank you, Ser Lorent.

32
00:04:50,456 --> 00:04:52,250
Princess Rhaenys,

33
00:04:52,333 --> 00:04:55,044
might we hope for news
of Lord Corlys's recovery?

34
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:57,005
Viserys is dead.

35
00:05:02,844 --> 00:05:05,513
I grieve this loss with you, Rhaenyra.

36
00:05:05,596 --> 00:05:08,725
My cousin, your father...

37
00:05:10,184 --> 00:05:12,103
possessed a kind heart.

38
00:05:22,947 --> 00:05:24,115
There is more.

39
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:29,037
Aegon has been crowned as his successor.

40
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:37,503
They crowned him?

41
00:05:39,047 --> 00:05:41,424
How did Viserys die?

42
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:43,176
I could not say.

43
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:45,887
-How long ago?
-A day past, perhaps two.

44
00:05:45,970 --> 00:05:48,806
I was made a prisoner in my quarters
while the Queen made her preparations.

45
00:05:48,890 --> 00:05:50,058
Viserys has been slain.

46
00:05:52,018 --> 00:05:56,564
Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon.

47
00:05:57,940 --> 00:05:59,067
She did.

48
00:06:01,778 --> 00:06:04,697
-I refused her.
-And yet you are alive.

49
00:06:07,533 --> 00:06:11,120
The High Septon crowned Aegon
in the Dragonpit.

50
00:06:11,204 --> 00:06:14,290
I witnessed it myself
just before I fled on Meleys.

51
00:06:14,373 --> 00:06:17,710
They crowned him before the masses.

52
00:06:17,794 --> 00:06:20,046
So that the masses would see him
as their rightful king.

53
00:06:20,129 --> 00:06:23,382
That whore of a Queen murdered my brother
and stole his throne.

54
00:06:23,466 --> 00:06:24,967
And you could have burned them all for it.

55
00:06:26,052 --> 00:06:29,180
A war is like to be fought
over this treachery, to be sure.

56
00:06:33,226 --> 00:06:36,187
But that war is not mine to begin.

57
00:06:36,270 --> 00:06:38,064
I only rushed this warning to you

58
00:06:38,147 --> 00:06:40,691
out of loyalty to my husband
and to my house.

59
00:06:42,944 --> 00:06:44,904
The Greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra.

60
00:06:46,197 --> 00:06:48,116
And for your children.

61
00:06:49,408 --> 00:06:51,285
You should leave Dragonstone at once.

62
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:13,432
The babe is coming.

63
00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:22,942
Her term is far from complete.

64
00:07:23,025 --> 00:07:24,652
This should not be happening.

65
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:27,280
It is fucking happening.

66
00:07:28,656 --> 00:07:31,784
Keep your head about you, Princess.
Come.

67
00:07:32,368 --> 00:07:34,954
We've done this five times before.

68
00:07:35,037 --> 00:07:37,456
Keep your spirit,
and the sixth will be no different.

69
00:07:37,540 --> 00:07:39,959
Get off, get off, get off, get off!

70
00:07:40,042 --> 00:07:42,753
Ow, ow, ow.

71
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:47,967
I want patrols along
the island's perimeter,

72
00:07:48,050 --> 00:07:50,344
looking for any small ships
that might set ashore.

73
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:53,764
If the Greens attack now,
it will be by stealth...

74
00:07:53,848 --> 00:07:55,850
not directly.

75
00:07:55,933 --> 00:07:57,768
We don't have enough men
to surround the island,

76
00:07:57,852 --> 00:08:00,354
but we can make ourselves
appear stronger than they are.

77
00:08:04,025 --> 00:08:06,319
Conscript the Dragonkeepers.
They're capable fighters.

78
00:08:06,402 --> 00:08:08,738
-Waste no time.
-It will be done, my Prince.

79
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:24,337
-What was that?
- I'm sorry.

80
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:27,006
You might go easier

81
00:08:27,089 --> 00:08:28,758
on him, my Prince,

82
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:31,177
so he can learn what
you're trying to teach.

83
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:33,763
Your lady mother needs to see you!

84
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:37,433
Both of you.

85
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:40,144
Mother?

86
00:08:43,272 --> 00:08:44,815
Fuck.

87
00:08:47,151 --> 00:08:48,694
Princess.

88
00:08:59,747 --> 00:09:02,041
Your grandsire, King Viserys, has passed.

89
00:09:02,124 --> 00:09:03,501
Viserys?

90
00:09:03,584 --> 00:09:06,462
The Greens have
repudiated the succession

91
00:09:06,545 --> 00:09:08,172
and claimed the Iron Throne.

92
00:09:12,385 --> 00:09:14,053
Aegon has been crowned king.

93
00:09:15,596 --> 00:09:18,307
-What is to be done about it?
-Nothing yet.

94
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:21,060
-And where is Daemon?
-I don't know.

95
00:09:21,143 --> 00:09:22,645
Gone to madness.

96
00:09:24,814 --> 00:09:26,065
Gone to plot his war.

97
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:30,111
-Leave Daemon with me.
-Jace.

98
00:09:31,070 --> 00:09:32,071
Jacaerys.

99
00:09:37,827 --> 00:09:41,455
Whatever claim remains to me,
you are now its heir.

100
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:44,542
Naught is to be done but by my command.

101
00:09:59,557 --> 00:10:00,933
A raven flew in this morning.

102
00:10:01,017 --> 00:10:04,353
The Sea Snake's fever has broken,
and he has left Evenfall.

103
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:07,356
-Where is he sailing?
-That much is unclear, my Prince.

104
00:10:07,982 --> 00:10:09,775
We'll send ravens to our nearest allies:

105
00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:12,278
Lords Darklyn, Massey...

106
00:10:13,154 --> 00:10:15,489
-and Bar Emmon.
-Daemon!

107
00:10:16,324 --> 00:10:18,659
Do you want to speak
to the maester, my Prince?

108
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:30,171
I'll fly to the Riverlands myself
and affirm Lord Tully's support.

109
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:31,797
You will do no such thing.

110
00:10:34,592 --> 00:10:37,553
My mother has decreed no action be taken
while she's abed.

111
00:10:43,976 --> 00:10:47,355
It's good you're here, young Prince.

112
00:10:47,438 --> 00:10:49,523
You're needed to patrol
the skies on Vermax.

113
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:50,941
Did you hear what I said?

114
00:10:55,196 --> 00:10:56,530
The ravens, Lord Bartimos.

115
00:10:58,949 --> 00:11:00,117
I shall see it done.

116
00:11:00,201 --> 00:11:01,702
Summon Ser Steffon.

117
00:11:01,786 --> 00:11:04,330
Our Kingsguard are needed
on the Dragonmont.

118
00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,958
Come with me.
I'll show you the true meaning of loyalty.

119
00:11:15,674 --> 00:11:18,260
You swore an oath
as knights of the Kingsguard.

120
00:11:18,344 --> 00:11:20,888
As do all who wear
the white cloak, my Prince.

121
00:11:22,390 --> 00:11:23,516
To whom?

122
00:11:24,809 --> 00:11:28,646
I swore first to King Jaehaerys,
my Prince.

123
00:11:28,729 --> 00:11:29,939
And then to His Grace,

124
00:11:30,022 --> 00:11:32,233
King Viserys, when he succeeded him.

125
00:11:32,316 --> 00:11:34,402
Do you acknowledge
the true line of succession?

126
00:11:35,277 --> 00:11:36,987
-Yes.
-Yes, my Prince.

127
00:11:43,702 --> 00:11:45,746
Do you recall

128
00:11:45,830 --> 00:11:49,333
who King Viserys named
as his heir before his death?

129
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:53,462
Princess Rhaenyra.

130
00:11:57,758 --> 00:12:00,678
I'm grateful for
your long service to the crown.

131
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:04,306
So I'm presenting you with a choice.

132
00:12:27,746 --> 00:12:30,291
Swear anew your oath
to Rhaenyra as your queen...

133
00:12:31,792 --> 00:12:35,087
<i>to Prince Jacaerys as the heir</i>
<i>to the Iron Throne.</i>

134
00:12:40,134 --> 00:12:41,135
<i>Or...</i>

135
00:12:41,218 --> 00:12:43,596
if you support the usurper,
speak it now...

136
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:47,600
and you will have a clean
and honorable death.

137
00:12:48,809 --> 00:12:51,145
<i>But if you choose treachery,</i>

138
00:12:51,228 --> 00:12:54,732
<i>if you swear fealty now</i>
<i>only to later turn your cloaks...</i>

139
00:12:57,485 --> 00:13:00,362
know that you will die

140
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:01,322
screaming.

141
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,538
Princess, let us help you.

142
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:13,959
No.

143
00:13:16,337 --> 00:13:19,089
- Get out!
-Princess, please.

144
00:13:19,173 --> 00:13:20,925
-Get out.
-You should not do this alone, Princess.

145
00:13:21,008 --> 00:13:22,051
Let us help you.

146
00:16:47,297 --> 00:16:49,842
I mean no harm, brothers.

147
00:17:12,406 --> 00:17:14,158
I swear to ward the Queen...

148
00:17:16,994 --> 00:17:18,537
with all my strength...

149
00:17:19,955 --> 00:17:22,624
and give my blood for hers.

150
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:29,631
I shall take no wife...

151
00:17:31,341 --> 00:17:32,718
hold no lands...

152
00:17:34,178 --> 00:17:36,472
father no children.

153
00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:38,724
I shall guard her secrets...

154
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,351
obey her commands...

155
00:17:42,478 --> 00:17:46,023
ride at her side, and defend her name
and honor.

156
00:18:12,424 --> 00:18:13,842
My Queen.

157
00:19:56,069 --> 00:19:59,948
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen,
First of Her Name,

158
00:20:00,032 --> 00:20:02,951
Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar
and the First Men.

159
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,664
Lady of the Seven Kingdoms
and Protector of the Realm.

160
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:12,836
Your Grace.

161
00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:23,347
Wine, my Queen.

162
00:20:26,183 --> 00:20:27,517
Thank you, Rhaena.

163
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,645
Come.

164
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:56,046
-What is our standing?
-We have 30 knights,

165
00:20:56,129 --> 00:20:58,715
a hundred crossbowmen,
and 300 men-at-arms.

166
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:02,052
Dragonstone is relatively easy to defend,
but as an instrument of conquest,

167
00:21:02,135 --> 00:21:04,388
our army leaves a lot to be desired.

168
00:21:04,471 --> 00:21:06,640
We have sent word to my loyal men
in the City Watch.

169
00:21:06,723 --> 00:21:09,226
I'll have some support there,
but I cannot speak to the numbers.

170
00:21:09,309 --> 00:21:12,813
We already have declarations
from Celtigar and Staunton,

171
00:21:12,896 --> 00:21:15,440
Massey, Darklyn, Bar Emmon.

172
00:21:18,110 --> 00:21:20,195
My lady mother was an Arryn.

173
00:21:20,278 --> 00:21:22,572
The Vale will not turn cloak
against their own kin.

174
00:21:22,656 --> 00:21:26,159
Riverrun was always a close friend
to your father, Your Grace.

175
00:21:26,243 --> 00:21:27,786
With Prince Daemon's acquiescence,

176
00:21:27,869 --> 00:21:30,288
I've already sent ravens to Lord Grover.

177
00:21:34,209 --> 00:21:36,461
Lord Grover is fickle and easily swayed.

178
00:21:36,545 --> 00:21:38,922
He will need to be convinced
of the strength of our position

179
00:21:39,006 --> 00:21:41,800
and that we will support him
should it come to war.

180
00:21:41,883 --> 00:21:43,927
I'm going to treat with him myself.

181
00:21:44,011 --> 00:21:45,721
What of Storm's End and Winterfell?

182
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:48,390
There has never
lived a Stark who forgot an oath.

183
00:21:48,473 --> 00:21:51,226
And with House Stark,
the North will follow.

184
00:21:51,309 --> 00:21:54,896
Lord Borros Baratheon will need
to be reminded of his father's promises.

185
00:22:08,035 --> 00:22:09,953
What news from Driftmark?

186
00:22:12,748 --> 00:22:14,708
Lord Corlys sails for Dragonstone.

187
00:22:14,791 --> 00:22:17,085
To declare for his Queen.

188
00:22:18,420 --> 00:22:21,381
The Velaryon fleet
is in my husband's yoke.

189
00:22:21,465 --> 00:22:23,341
He decides where they sail.

190
00:22:23,425 --> 00:22:26,720
We shall pray for both you
and your husband's support.

191
00:22:26,803 --> 00:22:29,806
Just as we prayed nightly
for the Sea Snake's return to good health.

192
00:22:31,516 --> 00:22:33,185
There's no port on the Narrow Sea
would dare to make

193
00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,145
an enemy of the Velaryon fleet.

194
00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:39,858
-And our enemies?
-We have no friends among the Lannisters.

195
00:22:40,692 --> 00:22:43,695
Tyland has served the Hand
too long to turn against him.

196
00:22:43,779 --> 00:22:45,947
And Otto Hightower
needs the Lannister fleet.

197
00:22:46,031 --> 00:22:47,532
Without the Lannisters,
we are not like to find

198
00:22:47,616 --> 00:22:49,868
-any allies west of the Golden Tooth.
-No.

199
00:22:53,121 --> 00:22:55,248
The Riverlands are essential,
Your Grace.

200
00:22:56,458 --> 00:23:00,003
Pray forgive my bluntness, Your Grace,
but talk of men is moot.

201
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:04,382
Your cause owns a power
that has not been seen in this world

202
00:23:04,466 --> 00:23:06,968
since the days of Old Valyria.

203
00:23:07,052 --> 00:23:08,386
Dragons.

204
00:23:11,431 --> 00:23:12,849
The Greens have dragons as well.

205
00:23:12,933 --> 00:23:14,935
They have three adults, by my count.

206
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:17,854
We have Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys.

207
00:23:17,938 --> 00:23:20,857
Your sons have Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes.

208
00:23:20,941 --> 00:23:22,692
Baela has Moondancer.

209
00:23:22,776 --> 00:23:24,653
Daemon, none of our dragons
have been to war.

210
00:23:24,736 --> 00:23:26,696
There are also unclaimed dragons.

211
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:28,824
Seasmoke still resides on Driftmark.

212
00:23:28,907 --> 00:23:31,910
Vermithor and Silverwing
dwell on the Dragonmont,

213
00:23:31,993 --> 00:23:33,078
still riderless.

214
00:23:34,162 --> 00:23:36,456
Then there are the three wild dragons,
all of whom nest here.

215
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:37,874
And who is to ride them?

216
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:41,294
Dragonstone has 13 to their 4.

217
00:23:41,378 --> 00:23:44,548
I also have a score of eggs
incubating in the Dragonmont.

218
00:23:44,631 --> 00:23:48,093
Now... we need a place to gather,

219
00:23:48,176 --> 00:23:51,763
a toehold large enough
to house a sizable host.

220
00:23:51,847 --> 00:23:53,181
Here, at Harrenhal.

221
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,475
We cut off the west,
surround King's Landing with the dragons.

222
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,310
And we could have every Green head
mounted on spikes

223
00:23:57,394 --> 00:23:59,312
before the fucking moon turns.

224
00:23:59,396 --> 00:24:00,981
Your Grace...

225
00:24:01,064 --> 00:24:02,858
a ship has been sighted offshore:

226
00:24:02,941 --> 00:24:05,485
a lone galleon, flying a banner
of a three-headed green dragon.

227
00:24:05,569 --> 00:24:07,654
Alert the watchtowers. Sight the skies.

228
00:24:45,442 --> 00:24:48,403
I come at the behest
of the Dowager Queen Alicent,

229
00:24:48,486 --> 00:24:50,655
mother of King Aegon, Second of His Name,

230
00:24:50,739 --> 00:24:53,491
Lord and Protector of the Seven Kingdoms.

231
00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:58,872
I've been directed to deliver her message
only to Princess Rhaenyra.

232
00:24:59,706 --> 00:25:01,625
Where is the Princess?

233
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:58,056
Princess Rhaenyra.

234
00:25:58,974 --> 00:26:00,892
I'm Queen Rhaenyra now.

235
00:26:01,935 --> 00:26:04,104
And you all are traitors to the realm.

236
00:26:04,688 --> 00:26:08,608
King Aegon Targaryen,
Second of His Name...

237
00:26:10,193 --> 00:26:13,655
in his wisdom and desire for peace,

238
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:15,156
is offering terms.

239
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:19,327
Acknowledge Aegon as king

240
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:22,247
and swear obeisance
before the Iron Throne.

241
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:26,167
In exchange, His Grace will confirm
your possession of Dragonstone.

242
00:26:26,876 --> 00:26:30,505
It will pass to your trueborn son,
Jacaerys, upon your death.

243
00:26:30,588 --> 00:26:33,925
Lucerys will be confirmed
as the legitimate heir to Driftmark

244
00:26:34,009 --> 00:26:36,761
and all the lands and holdings
of House Velaryon.

245
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:38,763
Your sons by Prince Daemon

246
00:26:38,847 --> 00:26:41,766
will also be given places
of high honor at court:

247
00:26:41,850 --> 00:26:44,311
Aegon the Younger as the King's squire,

248
00:26:44,394 --> 00:26:46,313
Viserys as his cupbearer.

249
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:48,481
Finally, the King, in his good grace,

250
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:52,986
will pardon any knight or lord
who conspired against his ascent.

251
00:26:53,737 --> 00:26:56,406
I would rather feed my sons to the dragons

252
00:26:56,489 --> 00:26:59,534
than have them carry shields and cups

253
00:26:59,617 --> 00:27:03,413
for your drunken, usurper cunt of a king.

254
00:27:03,913 --> 00:27:07,250
Aegon Targaryen sits the Iron Throne.

255
00:27:08,376 --> 00:27:10,170
He wears the Conqueror's crown,

256
00:27:10,253 --> 00:27:12,005
wields the Conqueror's sword,

257
00:27:12,088 --> 00:27:13,506
has the Conqueror's name.

258
00:27:13,590 --> 00:27:16,384
He was anointed by a septon of the Faith

259
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:18,345
before the eyes of thousands.

260
00:27:18,428 --> 00:27:22,766
Every symbol of legitimacy belongs to him.

261
00:27:24,893 --> 00:27:28,188
And then there is Stark, Tully, Baratheon.

262
00:27:28,271 --> 00:27:32,317
Houses that have also received,
and are at present,

263
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,570
considering generous terms
from their king.

264
00:27:37,238 --> 00:27:41,451
Stark, Tully, and Baratheon
all swore to me

265
00:27:41,534 --> 00:27:44,162
when King Viserys named me his heir.

266
00:27:44,579 --> 00:27:48,708
Stale oaths will not put you
on the Iron Throne, Princess.

267
00:27:49,417 --> 00:27:53,338
The succession changed the day
your father sired a son.

268
00:27:53,922 --> 00:27:57,759
I only regret that you and he
were the last to see the truth of it.

269
00:27:58,843 --> 00:28:01,137
You are no more Hand than Aegon is king.

270
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:02,806
Fucking traitor.

271
00:28:14,609 --> 00:28:16,194
Grand Maester.

272
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:22,659
What the fuck is this?

273
00:28:38,258 --> 00:28:42,720
Queen Alicent has not forgotten the love
you once had for each other.

274
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:48,852
No blood need be spilled,
so the realm can carry on in peace.

275
00:28:52,397 --> 00:28:54,691
Queen Alicent eagerly awaits your answer.

276
00:28:54,774 --> 00:28:57,026
She can have her answer now,
stuffed in her father's mouth

277
00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:58,278
along with his withered cock.

278
00:28:58,361 --> 00:29:00,280
Let's end this mummer's farce.

279
00:29:01,865 --> 00:29:05,076
Ser Erryk, bring me Lord Hightower
so I may take the pleasure myself.

280
00:29:10,165 --> 00:29:11,124
No.

281
00:29:22,969 --> 00:29:25,513
King's Landing will have
my answer on the morrow.

282
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:51,581
It's no easy thing for a man
to be a dragonslayer.

283
00:29:51,664 --> 00:29:54,584
But dragons can kill dragons. And have.

284
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:58,963
The simple truth is this:
we have more dragons than Aegon.

285
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:01,382
Viserys spoke often
of the Valyrian histories.

286
00:30:01,466 --> 00:30:03,009
I know them well.

287
00:30:03,801 --> 00:30:05,929
When dragons flew to war...

288
00:30:06,846 --> 00:30:08,223
everything burned.

289
00:30:10,433 --> 00:30:13,520
I do not wish to rule
over a kingdom of ash and bone.

290
00:30:13,603 --> 00:30:16,356
Are you considering the Hightowers' terms,
Your Grace?

291
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:20,568
As Queen, what is my true duty
to the realm, Lord Bartimos?

292
00:30:21,152 --> 00:30:22,612
Ensuring peace and unity?

293
00:30:22,695 --> 00:30:25,657
Or that I sit the Iron Throne,
no matter the cost?

294
00:30:25,740 --> 00:30:28,284
-That's your father talking.
-My father's dead.

295
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:32,247
And he chose me as his successor...

296
00:30:34,707 --> 00:30:37,252
to defend the realm,
not cast it headlong into war.

297
00:30:37,335 --> 00:30:38,795
Well, the enemy have declared war.

298
00:30:39,587 --> 00:30:41,172
What are you gonna do about it?

299
00:30:44,717 --> 00:30:45,843
Clear the room.

300
00:31:16,416 --> 00:31:18,001
Does the promise of war excite you?

301
00:31:18,084 --> 00:31:19,877
You cannot bend the knee
to the Hightowers.

302
00:31:19,961 --> 00:31:21,504
They stole your birthright.

303
00:31:21,588 --> 00:31:23,214
If you could take the Iron Throne

304
00:31:23,298 --> 00:31:25,383
without putting Otto Hightower's
head on a spike,

305
00:31:25,466 --> 00:31:26,926
-would you?
-Are you not angry?

306
00:31:27,010 --> 00:31:29,345
-I should declare war because I'm angry?
-No.

307
00:31:29,429 --> 00:31:31,472
Because it's your duty
as Queen to crush rebellion.

308
00:31:31,556 --> 00:31:35,435
You know my oath
reaches beyond our personal ambitions.

309
00:31:38,563 --> 00:31:40,481
A Song of Ice and Fire.

310
00:31:43,192 --> 00:31:44,319
What?

311
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:47,405
The coming war against
the darkness in the North,

312
00:31:47,488 --> 00:31:49,532
The Conqueror's Dream.

313
00:31:49,616 --> 00:31:51,701
Viserys shared it with me
when he named me heir.

314
00:31:56,623 --> 00:32:00,960
My brother... was a slave to his
omens and portents.

315
00:32:01,878 --> 00:32:05,381
Anything to make his feckless reign
appear to have purpose.

316
00:32:09,135 --> 00:32:11,054
Dreams didn't make us kings.

317
00:32:12,180 --> 00:32:13,723
Dragons did.

318
00:32:31,658 --> 00:32:33,159
He never told you...

319
00:32:37,121 --> 00:32:38,247
did he?

320
00:33:15,618 --> 00:33:19,956
I've had men whipped for falling asleep
on their watch.

321
00:33:26,003 --> 00:33:27,547
You are no man.

322
00:33:32,343 --> 00:33:34,262
You abandoned me...

323
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:37,682
when I most needed you.

324
00:33:38,850 --> 00:33:41,018
Both our children stolen from us.

325
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,730
I needed you.

326
00:33:44,397 --> 00:33:45,815
Baela and Rhaena needed you,

327
00:33:45,898 --> 00:33:48,985
and you abandoned us
for more adventure at sea.

328
00:33:49,068 --> 00:33:51,028
As has always been your way.

329
00:33:52,822 --> 00:33:55,366
I had no other place to turn.

330
00:33:56,701 --> 00:34:00,037
-I lost everything.
-We lost, Corlys.

331
00:34:01,956 --> 00:34:02,874
We.

332
00:34:15,928 --> 00:34:18,306
I understand we have a new king.

333
00:34:18,389 --> 00:34:21,726
The Stranger casts a long shadow
over this family.

334
00:34:28,191 --> 00:34:29,942
Your brother is also dead.

335
00:34:35,031 --> 00:34:37,992
In his haste to bury you
and claim your seat,

336
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:39,577
he stood before the King

337
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:42,455
and denounced
Laenor's sons as illegitimate.

338
00:34:47,627 --> 00:34:50,171
Daemon took his head for it.

339
00:34:54,801 --> 00:34:59,347
Heedless ambition has always been
a Velaryon weakness.

340
00:35:03,643 --> 00:35:05,561
You were right, Rhaenys.

341
00:35:07,396 --> 00:35:10,942
I reached too far. And for nothing.

342
00:35:13,277 --> 00:35:18,199
Our pursuit of the Iron Throne...
is at an end.

343
00:35:22,578 --> 00:35:25,498
We shall declare for no one.

344
00:35:26,999 --> 00:35:29,168
We will retire to High Tide

345
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:30,795
to be content...

346
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:33,798
with our grandchildren and--

347
00:35:33,881 --> 00:35:37,009
Jace, Luke, and Joff
are claimants to the throne.

348
00:35:38,761 --> 00:35:41,681
Those boys'll not be safe
so long as Aegon is king.

349
00:35:44,141 --> 00:35:48,271
Rhaenyra was complicit in our son's death.

350
00:35:49,772 --> 00:35:52,400
That girl destroys everything she touches.

351
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:54,443
That "girl"...

352
00:35:54,527 --> 00:35:56,821
is holding the realm together at present.

353
00:35:57,780 --> 00:35:59,574
Every man standing
'round the Painted Table

354
00:35:59,657 --> 00:36:01,784
urges her to plunge the realm into war.

355
00:36:04,203 --> 00:36:07,415
<i>Rhaenyra's the only one</i>
<i>who's demonstrated restraint.</i>

356
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:10,835
The purpose of war is to fill graveyards,
my dear Lord Staunton.

357
00:36:10,918 --> 00:36:14,005
The trick is to put more of their men
in the ground than your own.

358
00:36:14,088 --> 00:36:15,631
Easy words for a lord who commands

359
00:36:15,715 --> 00:36:17,341
-from the safety of his castle.
-Doesn't make it any less true.

360
00:36:17,425 --> 00:36:19,176
The Lord of the Tides!

361
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,637
Lord Corlys Velaryon...

362
00:36:22,597 --> 00:36:26,142
and his wife,
the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

363
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:39,113
My lords.

364
00:36:39,196 --> 00:36:40,740
Lord Corlys.

365
00:36:41,657 --> 00:36:44,285
It brings much relief to see you hale
and healthy again.

366
00:36:46,787 --> 00:36:49,540
I'm very sorry about your father,
Princess.

367
00:36:50,166 --> 00:36:51,709
He was a good man.

368
00:37:03,429 --> 00:37:04,555
Where is Daemon?

369
00:37:05,765 --> 00:37:08,684
There were other concerns which
demanded the Prince's attention.

370
00:37:20,112 --> 00:37:21,447
Your declared allies?

371
00:37:23,074 --> 00:37:26,702
-Yes.
-Too few to win a war for the throne.

372
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:30,998
Well, we would also
hope to have the support

373
00:37:31,082 --> 00:37:34,043
-of Houses Arryn, Baratheon, and Stark.
-Hope...

374
00:37:34,961 --> 00:37:36,504
is the fool's ally.

375
00:37:38,130 --> 00:37:41,342
Both Arryn and Baratheon
share blood with my house.

376
00:37:41,425 --> 00:37:43,469
But all of them swore oaths to me.

377
00:37:43,552 --> 00:37:45,388
As did House Hightower...

378
00:37:45,471 --> 00:37:46,639
if I remember.

379
00:37:46,722 --> 00:37:49,684
As did you, Lord Corlys.

380
00:38:03,531 --> 00:38:04,865
Your father's realm...

381
00:38:06,075 --> 00:38:08,911
was one of justice and honor.

382
00:38:10,037 --> 00:38:14,417
Our houses are bound by common blood
and common cause.

383
00:38:16,043 --> 00:38:18,963
This Hightower treason cannot stand.

384
00:38:24,677 --> 00:38:28,222
You have the full support
of our fleet and house.

385
00:38:29,849 --> 00:38:31,100
Your Grace.

386
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:41,652
You honor me, Lord Corlys.

387
00:38:47,867 --> 00:38:49,827
Princess Rhaenys.

388
00:38:53,914 --> 00:38:57,585
But, as I said to my bannermen,

389
00:38:57,668 --> 00:39:01,547
I made a promise to my father
to hold the realm strong and united.

390
00:39:03,215 --> 00:39:06,260
If war's first stroke is to fall,
it will not be by my hand.

391
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:09,138
You do not mean to act?

392
00:39:09,221 --> 00:39:12,725
Taking caution
does not mean standing fast.

393
00:39:12,808 --> 00:39:17,730
I wish to know who my allies are
before I send them to war.

394
00:39:25,529 --> 00:39:27,448
The consequence of my...

395
00:39:28,074 --> 00:39:30,993
near-demise in the Stepstones...

396
00:39:32,328 --> 00:39:34,080
is that we now control them.

397
00:39:34,830 --> 00:39:37,416
I took care to fully garrison
the territory this time.

398
00:39:37,500 --> 00:39:41,879
A total blockade of the shipping lanes
will be in place in days, if not already.

399
00:39:42,546 --> 00:39:44,965
The Triarchy have been routed.

400
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:46,967
The Narrow Sea is ours.

401
00:39:49,804 --> 00:39:52,598
If we further seal the Gullet,

402
00:39:52,681 --> 00:39:55,684
we can cut off
all seaborne travel and trade

403
00:39:55,768 --> 00:39:57,061
to King's Landing.

404
00:39:58,020 --> 00:40:00,606
I shall take Meleys
and patrol the Gullet myself.

405
00:40:05,736 --> 00:40:08,531
When we drain the Narrow Sea,

406
00:40:08,614 --> 00:40:10,616
we can surround King's Landing,

407
00:40:10,699 --> 00:40:12,952
lay siege to the Red Keep,

408
00:40:13,035 --> 00:40:15,496
and force the Greens' surrender.

409
00:40:15,579 --> 00:40:19,291
If we are to have enough swords
to surround King's Landing,

410
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:23,003
we must first secure the support
of Winterfell, the Eyrie, and Storm's End.

411
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:25,047
I'll prepare the ravens, Your Grace.

412
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:28,509
We should bear those messages.

413
00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:32,471
Dragons can fly faster than ravens

414
00:40:32,555 --> 00:40:34,098
and they're more convincing.

415
00:40:37,726 --> 00:40:38,853
Send us.

416
00:40:40,855 --> 00:40:42,773
The Prince is right, Your Grace.

417
00:40:51,949 --> 00:40:52,950
Very well.

418
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:56,495
Prince Jacaerys will fly north.

419
00:40:57,163 --> 00:41:00,332
First to the Eyrie to see
my mother's cousin, the Lady Jeyne Arryn,

420
00:41:00,416 --> 00:41:03,252
and then to Winterfell
to treat with Lord Cregan Stark

421
00:41:03,335 --> 00:41:05,254
for the support of the North.

422
00:41:06,463 --> 00:41:09,258
Prince Lucerys will fly
south to Storm's End

423
00:41:09,341 --> 00:41:12,136
and treat with Lord Borros Baratheon.

424
00:41:12,219 --> 00:41:16,265
We must remind these lords
of the oaths they swore.

425
00:41:17,975 --> 00:41:20,895
And... the cost of breaking them.

426
00:41:44,919 --> 00:41:50,090
It's been said that as Targaryens,
we are closer to gods than to men.

427
00:41:52,176 --> 00:41:55,095
And the Iron Throne
puts us a touch closer, perhaps.

428
00:41:56,889 --> 00:42:00,809
But, if we are to serve
the Seven Kingdoms...

429
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:03,771
we must answer to their gods.

430
00:42:04,855 --> 00:42:09,318
If you take this errand,
you go as messengers... not as warriors.

431
00:42:10,027 --> 00:42:12,571
You must take no part in any fighting.

432
00:42:13,822 --> 00:42:17,993
Swear it to me now
under the eyes of the Seven.

433
00:42:22,873 --> 00:42:23,999
I swear it.

434
00:42:28,921 --> 00:42:30,047
I swear it.

435
00:42:31,340 --> 00:42:32,258
Thank you.

436
00:42:36,011 --> 00:42:37,930
Cregan Stark is...

437
00:42:38,889 --> 00:42:40,975
close to your age than is mine.

438
00:42:41,058 --> 00:42:45,479
I would hope, that as men,
you can find some common interest.

439
00:42:45,938 --> 00:42:47,273
Yes, Your Grace.

440
00:42:55,698 --> 00:42:57,825
Storm's End is a short flight from here.

441
00:42:59,535 --> 00:43:03,205
You have Baratheon blood
from your grandmother, Rhaenys.

442
00:43:03,289 --> 00:43:04,623
And...

443
00:43:04,707 --> 00:43:07,418
Lord Borros is an eternally proud man.

444
00:43:08,085 --> 00:43:12,089
He will be honored
to host a prince of the realm...

445
00:43:12,172 --> 00:43:13,507
and his dragon.

446
00:43:22,516 --> 00:43:25,436
I expect you will receive
a very warm welcome.

447
00:43:27,104 --> 00:43:28,856
Yes, Mother. Your Grace.

448
00:43:38,365 --> 00:43:40,034
Go to it then.

449
00:47:21,296 --> 00:47:23,215
I am Prince Lucerys Velaryon.

450
00:47:24,049 --> 00:47:26,051
I bring a message to Lord Borros
from the Queen.

451
00:47:43,193 --> 00:47:45,320
Prince Lucerys Velaryon.

452
00:47:51,702 --> 00:47:55,247
Son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.

453
00:47:59,293 --> 00:48:00,627
Lord Borros...

454
00:48:02,504 --> 00:48:05,048
I brought you a message from my mother...

455
00:48:05,632 --> 00:48:06,758
the Queen.

456
00:48:07,884 --> 00:48:11,263
Yet earlier this day,
I received an envoy from the King.

457
00:48:12,472 --> 00:48:14,141
Which is it?

458
00:48:14,224 --> 00:48:16,935
King or Queen?

459
00:48:17,019 --> 00:48:19,730
The House of the Dragon
does not seem to know who rules it.

460
00:48:22,524 --> 00:48:25,068
What's your mother's message?

461
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:42,878
Where's the bloody maester?

462
00:49:17,788 --> 00:49:20,957
"Remind" me of my father's oath.

463
00:49:22,876 --> 00:49:24,836
King Aegon at least came with an offer:

464
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,839
my swords and banners for a marriage pact.

465
00:49:29,007 --> 00:49:31,134
If I do as your mother bids...

466
00:49:32,302 --> 00:49:34,846
which one of my daughters will you wed...

467
00:49:36,348 --> 00:49:37,724
boy?

468
00:49:38,517 --> 00:49:41,853
My lord... I am not free to marry.

469
00:49:43,021 --> 00:49:44,439
I'm already betrothed.

470
00:49:46,692 --> 00:49:49,111
So you come with empty hands.

471
00:49:51,196 --> 00:49:52,739
Go home, pup.

472
00:49:53,448 --> 00:49:55,617
And tell your mother
that the Lord of Storm's End

473
00:49:55,701 --> 00:50:00,205
is not some dog that she can whistle up
at need to set against her foes.

474
00:50:02,457 --> 00:50:06,294
I shall take your answer
to the Queen, my lord.

475
00:50:12,551 --> 00:50:14,094
Wait...

476
00:50:15,929 --> 00:50:17,472
my Lord Strong.

477
00:50:22,394 --> 00:50:26,732
Did you really think
that you could just fly about the realm

478
00:50:26,815 --> 00:50:29,359
trying to steal my brother's throne
at no cost?

479
00:50:31,194 --> 00:50:32,738
I will not fight you.

480
00:50:33,947 --> 00:50:36,825
I came as a messenger, not a warrior.

481
00:50:36,908 --> 00:50:38,452
A fight would be little challenge.

482
00:50:41,621 --> 00:50:42,748
No.

483
00:50:43,707 --> 00:50:45,625
I want you to put out your eye.

484
00:50:48,545 --> 00:50:49,880
As payment for mine.

485
00:50:52,382 --> 00:50:53,717
One will serve.

486
00:50:57,721 --> 00:50:59,097
I would not blind you.

487
00:51:01,349 --> 00:51:04,394
Plan to make a gift of it to my mother.

488
00:51:08,774 --> 00:51:09,691
No.

489
00:51:11,026 --> 00:51:12,986
Then you are craven as well as a traitor.

490
00:51:13,069 --> 00:51:15,030
-Not here.
-Give me your eye

491
00:51:15,697 --> 00:51:17,908
or I will take it, bastard!

492
00:51:17,991 --> 00:51:19,910
Not in my hall!

493
00:51:20,911 --> 00:51:22,704
The boy came as an envoy.

494
00:51:22,788 --> 00:51:24,790
I'll not have bloodshed beneath my roof.

495
00:51:25,415 --> 00:51:27,584
Take Prince Lucerys back to his dragon.

496
00:51:27,667 --> 00:51:29,419
Now.

497
00:55:08,471 --> 00:55:12,809
No, no, no, no, no! No, Vhagar! No!

498
00:55:13,685 --> 00:55:15,311
Serve me, Vhagar! No!

499
00:55:38,752 --> 00:55:41,671
Vhagar! No! No.
