00:15:27,761 --> 00:15:29,387
I must act.
182
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:38,396
The Freys.
183
00:15:40,398 --> 00:15:42,734
They control
the crossing
at the Twins.
184
00:15:42,734 --> 00:15:45,570
Cregan Stark's
graybeards are
marching south.
185
00:15:45,570 --> 00:15:48,907
If his men
had a direct route
into the Riverlands,
186
00:15:48,907 --> 00:15:51,034
we would not have to wait
for Daemon to act.
187
00:15:51,743 --> 00:15:54,412
I will treat
with The Freys
to secure it.
188
00:15:54,537 --> 00:15:56,247
She will not like it.
189
00:15:56,748 --> 00:16:00,627
Then don't tell her.
Not until I'm away.
190
00:16:10,095 --> 00:16:12,263
(Caraxes calls)
191
00:16:13,807 --> 00:16:16,935
Daemon Targaryen:
The hour is late
and my dragon is hungry.
192
00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:20,397
- (horses neighing)
- You have no choice
but to submit.
193
00:16:20,397 --> 00:16:22,273
Our terms are simple,
Lord Bracken.
194
00:16:22,273 --> 00:16:25,985
Renounce the false king
Aegon as a usurper
195
00:16:26,111 --> 00:16:28,780
and bend the knee to me
196
00:16:28,905 --> 00:16:30,573
or your house burns.
197
00:16:30,573 --> 00:16:33,618
I would sooner be
the Lord of Bones
and Cinders
198
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:38,081
than bend my knee
before some heathen
Blackwood cunt...
199
00:16:38,081 --> 00:16:39,666
and his hired dragon.
200
00:16:39,791 --> 00:16:41,292
The Brackens were
a people hatched out
201
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:43,753
of the deepest
of the Seven Hells,
Your Grace.
202
00:16:43,753 --> 00:16:45,296
It would be a kindness
to oblige them
203
00:16:45,296 --> 00:16:47,298
and send them back
whence they came.
204
00:16:47,298 --> 00:16:48,591
Did your brother's head
205
00:16:48,591 --> 00:16:51,136
keep on its way
back to you, Willem?
206
00:16:51,469 --> 00:16:53,346
I heard the maggots
got to it.
207
00:16:53,471 --> 00:16:56,474
That is quite
the impression,
Lord Bracken.
208
00:16:57,308 --> 00:16:59,519
But alas,
not an answer.
209
00:17:01,021 --> 00:17:03,023
(horses grunting)
210
00:17:04,983 --> 00:17:06,985
(horse neighs)
211
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:11,531
We choose fire.
212
00:17:11,656 --> 00:17:14,826
- (horse neighs)
- (Caraxes grumbling)
213
00:17:21,374 --> 00:17:24,794
I did not think
they would be
so eager to die.
214
00:17:25,503 --> 00:17:27,380
They made
their choice.
215
00:17:27,672 --> 00:17:30,675
- You should've indulged them.
- I need them alive.
216
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:33,636
I came here
to raise swords,
not corpses.
217
00:17:34,179 --> 00:17:37,349
But now you see what
my house has known
for generations.
218
00:17:37,349 --> 00:17:39,351
They are pigheaded,
intransigent--
219
00:17:39,476 --> 00:17:42,020
They would rather
burn than succumb.
220
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:47,859
Exactly the kind
of men I need.
221
00:17:49,861 --> 00:17:51,363
It may yet
be possible, I think,
222
00:17:51,363 --> 00:17:53,406
for both of us
to achieve our ends.
223
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:56,201
We have fought them
for an age and more.
224
00:17:56,201 --> 00:17:57,660
Then perhaps
you could try
225
00:17:57,660 --> 00:18:00,038
less fighting
and more...
226
00:18:03,833 --> 00:18:05,585
persuading.
227
00:18:06,378 --> 00:18:09,089
They are
unyielding in battle.
228
00:18:12,050 --> 00:18:14,052
(wind blowing)
229
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:18,682
But every man
has a weakness.
230
00:18:18,682 --> 00:18:21,184
You take
my meaning, then.
231
00:18:24,729 --> 00:18:28,900
There are things
the crown itself must
not been seen to do.
232
00:18:30,235 --> 00:18:31,736
Show them
your worst.
233
00:18:31,861 --> 00:18:34,197
I am your servant,
Your Grace.
234
00:18:34,197 --> 00:18:37,242
(tense music playing)
235
00:18:43,915 --> 00:18:45,917
(music intensifies)
236
00:18:55,260 --> 00:18:58,930
Jeyne Arryn:
Over the centuries,
many and more armies
237
00:18:58,930 --> 00:19:02,225
have broken themselves
against my bloody gate.
238
00:19:04,269 --> 00:19:06,438
(music fades out)
239
00:19:06,438 --> 00:19:08,606
Are you listening?
240
00:19:09,399 --> 00:19:10,775
My lady.
241
00:19:11,276 --> 00:19:13,945
The Eyrie itself
is impregnable.
242
00:19:16,114 --> 00:19:19,451
Unless, of course,
we're descended upon
from the sky.
243
00:19:19,576 --> 00:19:22,245
You promised
the Queen Rhaenyra
15,000 swords--
244
00:19:22,245 --> 00:19:25,498
In return for protection.
A dragon.
245
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,836
Then she
has exceeded
your terms.
246
00:19:29,961 --> 00:19:31,129
She sent two.
247
00:19:31,671 --> 00:19:34,174
Both still wet
from the egg.
248
00:19:34,299 --> 00:19:35,300
(scoffs)
249
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,345
I have hunting hounds
that are more fearsome.
250
00:19:38,470 --> 00:19:40,805
They are dragons
nonetheless.
251
00:19:41,306 --> 00:19:42,599
I do not recall
you specifying
252
00:19:42,599 --> 00:19:44,309
the size of the beast
in your request.
253
00:19:44,434 --> 00:19:46,311
Will you goad me, child?
254
00:19:46,811 --> 00:19:49,814
When your bread and shelter
now depend on my pleasure?
255
00:19:51,483 --> 00:19:53,526
The dragons will grow...
256
00:19:54,486 --> 00:19:56,696
- in time.
- I don't have time.
257
00:19:58,448 --> 00:20:00,825
I mislike
feeling powerless.
258
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,661
So do I.
259
00:20:10,168 --> 00:20:11,961
This will be
your chamber.
260
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:14,172
I'll expect you
at supper this evening?
261
00:20:17,133 --> 00:20:21,346
My sympathies for the death
of your grandmother.
262
00:20:23,682 --> 00:20:25,850
(wind blowing)
263
00:20:29,521 --> 00:20:32,315
The way they spoke
at my small council today.
264
00:20:32,315 --> 00:20:35,819
Mysaria:
Do they hold you responsible
for Rhaenys and her dragon?
265
00:20:35,819 --> 00:20:37,529
I would rather
they had.
266
00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:40,740
They speak around me,
not to me.
267
00:20:41,408 --> 00:20:42,534
(sighs)
They would make
me queen,
268
00:20:42,659 --> 00:20:44,828
but they wish
to keep me here, confined.
269
00:20:44,828 --> 00:20:47,372
They betray their
own smallness.
270
00:20:47,914 --> 00:20:49,207
In truth,
I cannot fault them.
271
00:20:49,332 --> 00:20:53,503
I am now the sovereign.
I cannot do as I please.
272
00:20:53,503 --> 00:20:56,214
And war has ever been
for men to make.
273
00:20:56,214 --> 00:20:59,718
You are your father's
chosen successor.
274
00:20:59,718 --> 00:21:02,178
He did not prepare
me to fight.
275
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:04,055
If I had been a son,
276
00:21:04,180 --> 00:21:07,726
a sword thrust into my hand
the moment I could walk.
277
00:21:08,226 --> 00:21:10,520
Instead, I was given
my father's cup...
278
00:21:11,062 --> 00:21:13,606
taught the name
of every lord and castle
279
00:21:13,732 --> 00:21:15,191
between Storm's End
and the Twins,
280
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:18,403
but not the difference
between hilt and foible.
281
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:21,072
And they know it.
282
00:21:22,407 --> 00:21:26,036
- And Daemon as well--
- Shall your evening meal
be served here, Your Grace?
283
00:21:26,036 --> 00:21:27,746
(sharply)
Not now.
284
00:21:28,705 --> 00:21:31,916
(distant dragons grumbling)
285
00:21:33,585 --> 00:21:35,295
Will you send to him?
286
00:21:36,713 --> 00:21:39,549
For too long,
I have looked to him
for strength.
287
00:21:39,549 --> 00:21:41,634
If I must be supplicant
to my own husband,
288
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,595
what does
that make me?
289
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:50,143
I do not know
my part, Mysaria.
290
00:21:52,979 --> 00:21:55,940
The path I walk
has never been trod.
291
00:21:56,941 --> 00:22:00,737
Criston Cole
made a mistake.
292
00:22:02,113 --> 00:22:06,409
Parading a dragon's head
through the streets
like a prize of war,
293
00:22:06,409 --> 00:22:08,453
but the people
see an ill omen.
294
00:22:08,453 --> 00:22:09,954
(scoffs)
Yes, as do I.
295
00:22:09,954 --> 00:22:13,291
They are afraid,
bread is scarce,
296
00:22:13,291 --> 00:22:14,751
the king has fallen,
297
00:22:14,751 --> 00:22:17,337
they whisper to each other
that when Viserys lived,
298
00:22:17,462 --> 00:22:19,589
- there was peace.
- (sighs)
299
00:22:19,589 --> 00:22:22,342
But will whispers
tear down stone...
300
00:22:22,467 --> 00:22:23,843
or break shields?
301
00:22:23,968 --> 00:22:27,347
Do not underestimate
your subjects.
302
00:22:27,472 --> 00:22:28,973
They are
a thousand-thousand
303
00:22:29,099 --> 00:22:30,767
living in the shadow
of the Red Keep
304
00:22:30,767 --> 00:22:33,311
and forgotten
for too long.
305
00:22:33,978 --> 00:22:36,189
And you think they
will turn to me.
306
00:22:36,314 --> 00:22:40,819
To the discontented,
rumors are feed.
307
00:22:41,653 --> 00:22:45,323
(light, tense music playing)
308
00:22:45,323 --> 00:22:47,117
Your Grace.
309
00:22:49,202 --> 00:22:53,832
What you cannot do,
let others do for you.
310
00:22:54,958 --> 00:22:58,294
There is more
than one way
to fight a war.
311
00:22:58,294 --> 00:23:00,338
(music intensifies)
312
00:23:11,516 --> 00:23:13,727
♪
313
00:23:18,356 --> 00:23:20,316
(music fades out)
314
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:22,986
Baela:
The thought of her
lying in a field,
315
00:23:22,986 --> 00:23:25,864
broken amongst
her enemies.
316
00:23:36,207 --> 00:23:40,420
Did your grandmother
ever tell you of the night
she claimed Meleys?
317
00:23:41,421 --> 00:23:43,423
She snuck into
the Dragonpit.
318
00:23:44,049 --> 00:23:46,551
She knew that place
better than any Elder.
319
00:23:47,052 --> 00:23:49,220
They say she could
see in the dark.
320
00:23:50,722 --> 00:23:52,557
My father was furious.
321
00:23:52,682 --> 00:23:54,684
His own mother's dragon,
322
00:23:54,684 --> 00:23:56,061
the fastest beast
ever known,
323
00:23:56,186 --> 00:23:58,021
- and she'd have none of him.
- (Rhaenyra chuckles)
324
00:23:58,021 --> 00:24:00,523
But bent her neck
to Rhaenys.
325
00:24:01,566 --> 00:24:03,735
She was fierce...
326
00:24:04,861 --> 00:24:07,072
in love and in anger.
327
00:24:09,574 --> 00:24:13,286
She did not always
care for me, but...
328
00:24:14,913 --> 00:24:19,125
for what she gave
me in the end,
I'm grateful.
329
00:24:24,923 --> 00:24:28,051
I wished I had known her
when she was young.
330
00:24:33,598 --> 00:24:37,936
- (chuckles) You are
very like her in some ways.
- (Baela chuckles)
331
00:24:40,438 --> 00:24:45,402
And with her gone...
I must rely on you,
I think.
332
00:24:45,402 --> 00:24:48,071
Your Grace?
(sniffles)
333
00:24:48,071 --> 00:24:50,824
Would you give this
to your grandsire?
334
00:25:02,252 --> 00:25:04,963
I do not wish to stand alone.
335
00:25:06,464 --> 00:25:08,633
(eerie rumbling)
336
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,427
female voice:
Daemon.
337
00:25:15,181 --> 00:25:16,516
Daemon.
338
00:25:17,267 --> 00:25:20,145
You were always
the strong one.
339
00:25:21,980 --> 00:25:24,816
The finest swordsman...
340
00:25:27,485 --> 00:25:30,155
the fearless dragonrider.
341
00:25:31,948 --> 00:25:35,702
Your brother had great
love in his heart...
342
00:25:35,827 --> 00:25:37,996
(heavy breathing)
343
00:25:39,873 --> 00:25:42,334
...but he lacked
your constitution.
344
00:25:43,168 --> 00:25:45,962
Viserys was unsuited
for the crown...
345
00:25:49,007 --> 00:25:53,053
but you... Daemon,
you were made to wear it.
346
00:26:01,353 --> 00:26:03,355
(heavy breathing)
347
00:26:13,198 --> 00:26:16,368
If only you'd
been born first.
348
00:26:17,577 --> 00:26:20,038
My favorite son.
349
00:26:26,211 --> 00:26:29,589
(echoing) Is the duck
not to your liking,
Your Grace?
350
00:26:34,552 --> 00:26:38,181
(normal)
There's also goose,
if you'd prefer it.
351
00:26:39,849 --> 00:26:41,726
I like the goose, myself.
352
00:26:41,726 --> 00:26:44,187
(dinnerware clattering)
353
00:26:45,063 --> 00:26:47,399
(Alys pouring wine)
354
00:26:49,943 --> 00:26:51,403
Uh, I'm not hungry.
355
00:26:51,528 --> 00:26:53,738
Simon Strong:
I was saying, given
the rather dire news
356
00:26:53,863 --> 00:26:55,699
from Rook's Rest...
357
00:26:56,533 --> 00:27:00,537
it appears the winds
have shifted and each side
has suffered great loss,
358
00:27:00,537 --> 00:27:04,124
and will be unsure
of what is to follow.
359
00:27:05,250 --> 00:27:08,211
A good time, then,
for a show of strength.
360
00:27:08,211 --> 00:27:09,379
I believe
Willem Blackwood
361
00:27:09,379 --> 00:27:12,048
is bringing
House Bracken to heel.
362
00:27:13,258 --> 00:27:16,636
We must ready the castle
to receive a great host.
363
00:27:18,930 --> 00:27:20,765
You seem sure of this.
364
00:27:20,765 --> 00:27:23,560
All men may be led,
Ser Simon.
365
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,311
Even Rivermen.
366
00:27:26,271 --> 00:27:30,275
'Tis a matter of showing them
whom it behooves them to follow.
367
00:27:31,443 --> 00:27:33,778
How does the work
here progress?
368
00:27:34,112 --> 00:27:37,907
Oh, um...
we're drawing water
for the kitchens
369
00:27:37,907 --> 00:27:40,285
- and lighting the forges.
- Very well.
370
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:42,912
That is merely
the beginning,
of course.
371
00:27:42,912 --> 00:27:44,664
The roof alone
has needed tending
372
00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:45,749
since the reign
of Aenys.
373
00:27:45,749 --> 00:27:46,958
And the storerooms.
374
00:27:46,958 --> 00:27:49,002
And...
375
00:27:49,127 --> 00:27:51,629
and the Wailing Tower.
(chuckles)
376
00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:54,632
The bats have
made the corridors
almost impassable
377
00:27:54,758 --> 00:27:56,760
with the quantity
of their...
378
00:27:57,802 --> 00:27:59,346
Their shit.
379
00:28:01,473 --> 00:28:03,350
I venture there are
smiths and armorers
380
00:28:03,475 --> 00:28:05,935
to be found
near Nutton
and Riverbend.
381
00:28:05,935 --> 00:28:07,979
Well, send for them,
and levy the farmers
382
00:28:08,104 --> 00:28:10,106
from Antlers
to High Heart.
383
00:28:10,315 --> 00:28:14,152
Task their huntsmen
to bring us meat and wood.
384
00:28:14,277 --> 00:28:16,946
Um, there is, of course,
the matter of payment.
385
00:28:16,946 --> 00:28:18,615
(clattering stops)
386
00:28:18,615 --> 00:28:23,161
After the,
the tragedy that
befell his father...
387
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:29,292
Larys transferred
his family's wealth
to King's Landing.
388
00:28:29,292 --> 00:28:31,711
Is there any gold
left in your coffers?
389
00:28:31,836 --> 00:28:36,508
Enough to keep this
small establishment
you see fed and warm.
390
00:28:37,509 --> 00:28:39,010
Relatively.
391
00:28:41,388 --> 00:28:44,849
I... I rather thought,
Your Grace, as
392
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:48,186
emissary to the Queen
393
00:28:48,311 --> 00:28:52,148
that p-perhaps
she could provide
the necessary coin
394
00:28:52,148 --> 00:28:55,735
- if you could
only write to her.
- No.
395
00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:57,862
Harrenhal is
my command.
396
00:28:58,321 --> 00:29:01,199
I shall guarantee
the payment myself.
397
00:29:02,033 --> 00:29:03,827
(mouths)
Up, up.
398
00:29:06,871 --> 00:29:08,873
Very well,
Your Grace.
399
00:29:09,207 --> 00:29:12,377
You should
address me as "my king."
400
00:29:12,711 --> 00:29:14,379
But you're the prince.
401
00:29:14,713 --> 00:29:17,048
What would you call
the husband of the queen?
402
00:29:17,173 --> 00:29:18,842
- Well, the king...
- Daemon: There it is, then.
403
00:29:18,842 --> 00:29:20,385
...consort.
404
00:29:21,386 --> 00:29:24,347
That last bit
seems unnecessary,
don't you think?
405
00:29:26,725 --> 00:29:28,268
(sighing)
406
00:29:30,061 --> 00:29:32,022
Orwyle:
The armor was Valyrian steel,
407
00:29:32,022 --> 00:29:36,401
but His Grace suffered
grievous burns over
much of his body.
408
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,237
He has many
broken bones.
409
00:29:39,362 --> 00:29:42,741
I fear there are
more injuries within,
410
00:29:42,741 --> 00:29:44,743
injuries we cannot see.
411
00:29:46,244 --> 00:29:48,580
(inhales)
We are grateful
for your works,
412
00:29:48,705 --> 00:29:49,706
Grand Maester.
413
00:29:50,790 --> 00:29:53,376
- Has he woken?
- No.
414
00:29:54,627 --> 00:29:59,299
I must admit,
I'm not sure he
will ever wake.
415
00:29:59,424 --> 00:30:02,635
I have plied my crafts
to their fullest extents.
416
00:30:02,761 --> 00:30:06,931
Our king's fate
lies with the gods now.
417
00:30:17,442 --> 00:30:20,445
A king cannot rule
in his sleep.
418
00:30:20,570 --> 00:30:22,947
The realm will have
noticed his absence.
419
00:30:23,448 --> 00:30:27,160
Let them hear
of his great deeds
at Rook's Rest.
420
00:30:27,285 --> 00:30:29,996
But now we must
name a regent
to take his place
421
00:30:30,121 --> 00:30:31,790
until he recovers...
422
00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:35,460
or does not.
423
00:30:36,961 --> 00:30:39,255
A wise strategy,
Your Grace.
424
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:40,965
A regency will
assure the people
425
00:30:41,091 --> 00:30:43,635
of the stability
of the crown.
426
00:30:46,179 --> 00:30:49,307
Did you have
a candidate in mind,
Your Grace?
427
00:30:49,766 --> 00:30:51,476
I myself served
in this role
for my husband.
428
00:30:51,601 --> 00:30:53,144
I am well-prepared
to do it again.
429
00:30:53,144 --> 00:30:54,604
You played
your part admirably
430
00:30:54,604 --> 00:30:56,272
in a time of peace,
Your Grace,
431
00:30:56,272 --> 00:30:58,775
but circumstances
have changed.
432
00:30:58,775 --> 00:31:00,485
(sarcastically)
And here I had
forgotten.
433
00:31:00,610 --> 00:31:02,779
Ironrod:
The king does not
lack for heirs.
434
00:31:02,779 --> 00:31:07,826
The obvious choice is
his immediate successor,
Prince Aemond.
435
00:31:07,826 --> 00:31:09,160
Tyland Lannister:
Agreed.
436
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,996
Aemond is young.
437
00:31:11,996 --> 00:31:14,958
And his lack of restraint
has already cost us dearly.
438
00:31:24,175 --> 00:31:28,346
Orwyle:
It is experience that offers
the surest path to security.
439
00:31:28,471 --> 00:31:31,474
Queen Alicent ably
shouldered the duties
of the realm
440
00:31:31,474 --> 00:31:33,184
when her husband's
health failed him.
441
00:31:33,184 --> 00:31:34,519
Experience is
valuable, yes,
442
00:31:34,519 --> 00:31:35,979
but the dowager queen
is a woman.
443
00:31:35,979 --> 00:31:39,232
I am no stranger
to rule or to sitting
at this council.
444
00:31:39,357 --> 00:31:40,525
Aemond is
a fearsome dragonrider.
445
00:31:40,650 --> 00:31:41,985
His skill is best
employed in the field,
446
00:31:41,985 --> 00:31:44,988
but my experience
is needed here,
at this table.
447
00:31:44,988 --> 00:31:47,365
No offense was meant,
Your Grace, but...
448
00:31:47,365 --> 00:31:52,537
- at a time when we
must show strength.
- Lord Larys?
449
00:31:52,662 --> 00:31:55,331
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.
450
00:31:57,042 --> 00:31:59,502
What would it say if,
in response to Rhaenyra's
crowning,
451
00:31:59,502 --> 00:32:01,921
we raised up
a woman of our own?
452
00:32:04,716 --> 00:32:06,217
But, um...
453
00:32:07,594 --> 00:32:09,512
but the Hand speaks
for the king's voice.
454
00:32:09,512 --> 00:32:11,765
Ser Criston,
what say you?
455
00:32:18,563 --> 00:32:20,940
Aemond is
the next in line.
456
00:32:23,068 --> 00:32:24,611
It must be him.
457
00:32:29,115 --> 00:32:31,368
Aemond Targaryen:
It's agreed then.
458
00:32:52,597 --> 00:32:54,933
What is our standing
in the Riverlands?
459
00:32:56,434 --> 00:32:59,062
Tyland:
Uh, the banners of House Tully
460
00:32:59,062 --> 00:33:01,272
are in disarray,
Your Grace.
461
00:33:01,272 --> 00:33:02,482
Prince Daemon
has little hope
462
00:33:02,607 --> 00:33:05,110
of fielding an army
of any size, for now.
463
00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:06,736
(voices fading)
464
00:33:06,736 --> 00:33:08,738
Larys Strong:
We would do well to send
word to young Oscar Tully.
465
00:33:08,738 --> 00:33:10,615
- (Alicent breathing heavily)
- It's only a matter of time
466
00:33:10,740 --> 00:33:13,118
before he inherits
his grandsire's mantle.
467
00:33:13,118 --> 00:33:15,120
Aemond:
Tell me, Lord Strong,
468
00:33:15,245 --> 00:33:16,663
how I can trust
the counsel of a man
469
00:33:16,788 --> 00:33:18,331
who leaves the jewel
of the Riverlands
470
00:33:18,456 --> 00:33:20,959
to be plucked
by our enemy?
471
00:33:24,462 --> 00:33:25,964
Your brother's host
can meet Daemon.
472
00:33:26,089 --> 00:33:27,298
He should
quicken its pace
473
00:33:27,424 --> 00:33:28,425
and check
the Rivermen
474
00:33:28,425 --> 00:33:29,926
while their banners
are in disarray.
475
00:33:29,926 --> 00:33:32,178
Tyland: I shall send
Lord Jason encouragement.
476
00:33:32,303 --> 00:33:35,140
- Aemond: What else?
- Orwyle: We might
turn our attention
477
00:33:35,265 --> 00:33:37,600
to the smallfolk here
in King's Landing.
478
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,145
They have grown weary
of the Sea Snake's blockade.
479
00:33:40,270 --> 00:33:42,313
Aemond:
So have we all.
480
00:33:42,439 --> 00:33:43,523
Orwyle:
Many are fleeing the city,
481
00:33:43,648 --> 00:33:46,985
spreading word
of their fear
and unrest.
482
00:33:47,318 --> 00:33:50,280
Aemond: Mm, then let
the gates be closed.
483
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,449
♪
484
00:33:52,449 --> 00:33:55,118
No one is to leave
or enter, save with
our consent.
485
00:33:55,118 --> 00:33:57,996
Merchants,
so forth.
486
00:33:59,831 --> 00:34:02,167
(heavy breathing)
487
00:34:02,167 --> 00:34:04,127
(clearly)
Go to your tasks.
488
00:34:04,836 --> 00:34:07,339
We shall meet again
at first light.
489
00:34:07,339 --> 00:34:11,468
Oh, and someone
cut down the fucking
ratcatchers.
490
00:34:13,970 --> 00:34:15,221
(coughs)
491
00:34:15,347 --> 00:34:18,224
- (outside street chatter)
- (baby crying)
492
00:34:18,350 --> 00:34:20,685
Kat:
The city's safe no longer.
493
00:34:22,354 --> 00:34:23,855
There is no food.
494
00:34:24,731 --> 00:34:26,816
Our neighbors
are stealing
from each other.
495
00:34:26,816 --> 00:34:28,068
We must get out.
496
00:34:28,193 --> 00:34:29,986
And where would
you have us go?
497
00:34:29,986 --> 00:34:32,197
North, maybe? South?
498
00:34:32,864 --> 00:34:34,866
For all we know,
every road leads
into the dragons' teeth.
499
00:34:34,866 --> 00:34:37,369
Like the one they carted
through the streets?
500
00:34:38,036 --> 00:34:42,415
You think Rhaenyra
will let such an affront
go unchallenged?
501
00:34:45,335 --> 00:34:48,046
We should make
for Tumbleton.
502
00:34:48,171 --> 00:34:50,090
My brother
will have room.
503
00:34:50,215 --> 00:34:52,050
You would have me
turn beggar?
504
00:34:53,510 --> 00:34:55,220
(daughter groans)
505
00:34:58,056 --> 00:35:00,850
Are we not
beggars already?
506
00:35:00,850 --> 00:35:02,560
Have you been paid
for those machines
507
00:35:02,686 --> 00:35:03,561
you were forced
to build?
508
00:35:03,561 --> 00:35:05,271
The king has
promised payment.
509
00:35:05,397 --> 00:35:08,400
(hushed)
The king has lied!
510
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:13,238
(coughs)
511
00:35:19,911 --> 00:35:21,746
By all means...
512
00:35:22,414 --> 00:35:25,959
stay and wait for his
empty promises, husband.
513
00:35:27,877 --> 00:35:30,922
With them, you can feed
the mouths of ghosts.
514
00:35:42,434 --> 00:35:44,644
(dog whimpering)
515
00:35:47,105 --> 00:35:49,107
(indistinct chatter)
516
00:35:56,114 --> 00:35:57,782
(body thuds)
517
00:36:10,253 --> 00:36:12,255
Presumed you'd be here.
518
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:15,300
Seeing faithfully
to the Prince Regent's
commands.
519
00:36:15,842 --> 00:36:17,927
Aemond is
the next in line.
520
00:36:17,927 --> 00:36:21,097
- It is the order of things.
- You know what he is...
521
00:36:21,097 --> 00:36:23,141
what he has
somehow become.
522
00:36:25,810 --> 00:36:27,270
Has your loyalty faded?
523
00:36:27,270 --> 00:36:29,272
Or does it flourish
only at night
524
00:36:29,272 --> 00:36:32,150
and flee the sunrise
like a moth?
525
00:36:35,779 --> 00:36:37,322
What I saw
at Rook's Rest--
526
00:36:37,322 --> 00:36:40,784
What?
What did you see?
527
00:36:44,662 --> 00:36:46,831
Their armor melted.
528
00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:51,169
There were men walking.
They were on fire.
529
00:36:54,506 --> 00:36:56,841
We have given the war
to the dragons.
530
00:36:58,343 --> 00:37:00,011
A dragonrider
should lead us.
531
00:37:04,349 --> 00:37:06,559
And what of justice,
of temperance?
532
00:37:06,685 --> 00:37:09,854
Or is strength now
to be our only god?
533
00:37:15,193 --> 00:37:17,195
So you cast me aside.
534
00:37:18,363 --> 00:37:20,365
Have I not spared you?
535
00:37:22,033 --> 00:37:25,995
What we must do
now is... terrible.
536
00:37:27,706 --> 00:37:29,708
Will you preside
over it?
537
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:34,170
- Is this who you are, Alicent?
- I did not ask to be spared.
538
00:37:37,549 --> 00:37:39,759
And I did not give you
leave to speak my name.
539
00:37:45,557 --> 00:37:47,726
(loud chattering)
540
00:37:52,605 --> 00:37:54,524
gold cloak:
Halt!
541
00:37:54,524 --> 00:37:56,776
(crowd shouting)
542
00:38:00,071 --> 00:38:01,239
Stay back!
543
00:38:02,907 --> 00:38:04,868
townsperson:
We've got to get out!
544
00:38:05,535 --> 00:38:07,078
gold cloak:
Somebody get him!
545
00:38:07,746 --> 00:38:09,748
Stay back! No!
546
00:38:09,873 --> 00:38:12,083
Holdfast, holdfast!
547
00:38:12,208 --> 00:38:14,753
- (shouting, fighting)
- Stay back! Hold!
548
00:38:19,424 --> 00:38:20,759
Back!
549
00:38:21,593 --> 00:38:24,721
Disperse, disperse!
550
00:38:25,638 --> 00:38:27,932
By order
of Aemond Targaryen,
551
00:38:28,058 --> 00:38:30,810
Prince Regent
and Protector
of the Realm...
552
00:38:30,935 --> 00:38:33,229
- Aemond?
- Does he mean the king?
553
00:38:33,229 --> 00:38:35,774
- I don't know.
- You cannot keep us here!
554
00:38:35,774 --> 00:38:38,735
- You are ordered
to return to your homes!
- We want meat!
555
00:38:38,735 --> 00:38:40,403
- Meat!
- Meat!
556
00:38:40,403 --> 00:38:42,238
(shouting)
557
00:38:48,453 --> 00:38:50,580
(crowd, gold cloaks clamoring)
558
00:38:50,580 --> 00:38:52,123
gold cloak: Stay back!
559
00:38:54,292 --> 00:38:56,002
(grumbles)
560
00:38:59,798 --> 00:39:04,260
Forrest Frey:
Our Lord Grover Tully
has not declared for Rhaenyra.
561
00:39:04,260 --> 00:39:06,596
It means death to bare steel
against your liege,
562
00:39:06,596 --> 00:39:08,973
as I'm sure
my prince is aware.
563
00:39:10,475 --> 00:39:12,811
And against
your queen?
564
00:39:14,979 --> 00:39:15,980
Hm?
565
00:39:19,484 --> 00:39:23,446
(sighs)
Jason Lannister is
marshaling to the west.
566
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,700
We need to check him
before he reaches Riverrun.
567
00:39:27,492 --> 00:39:29,452
That requires passage.
568
00:39:29,452 --> 00:39:31,788
And if Stark's
army is too slow?
569
00:39:31,788 --> 00:39:33,623
The wind's rising.
570
00:39:33,623 --> 00:39:35,333
Winter is
nigh upon us.
571
00:39:35,333 --> 00:39:36,835
Our hesitance
does not lie
572
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,962
in Rhaenyra
as Queen,
573
00:39:38,962 --> 00:39:43,341
nor in the ruminations
of Lord Tully, the oaf.
574
00:39:43,341 --> 00:39:46,136
Our fear lies
in Vhagar.
575
00:39:46,136 --> 00:39:49,139
You fear a dragon
leagues away
576
00:39:49,139 --> 00:39:52,058
when mine own sits
outside your walls?
577
00:39:52,183 --> 00:39:54,185
(wind blowing)
578
00:39:56,146 --> 00:39:59,816
- Do you offer us
your protection?
- I do.
579
00:40:06,072 --> 00:40:09,200
And the protection
of my uncle.
580
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:13,580
And Daemon, I'm sure,
has consented to this?
581
00:40:13,705 --> 00:40:15,665
He will do as
his queen commands.
582
00:40:15,665 --> 00:40:17,667
That does lend us
some comfort.
583
00:40:17,667 --> 00:40:19,002
Though it
occurs to me
that dragons
584
00:40:19,002 --> 00:40:22,505
- cannot be
in two places at once.
- Or three.
585
00:40:25,425 --> 00:40:27,344
What do you want?
586
00:40:29,346 --> 00:40:33,266
Larys Strong has been
relieved of his castle.
587
00:40:33,266 --> 00:40:36,770
Does the queen intend
to raise up a new lord?
588
00:40:40,940 --> 00:40:42,525
You want Harrenhal.
589
00:40:53,787 --> 00:40:57,791
(light, tense music playing)
590
00:41:01,252 --> 00:41:06,424
For that...
my mother will want
more than your crossing.
591
00:41:08,051 --> 00:41:10,261
What does
Her Grace desire?
592
00:41:12,764 --> 00:41:15,100
Bent knees.
593
00:41:16,935 --> 00:41:19,145
(music intensifies)
594
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,335
(music fades out)
595
00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:45,171
(indistinct chatter)
596
00:41:45,839 --> 00:41:48,258
(screams echoing)
597
00:41:53,972 --> 00:41:56,933
(screaming subsides)
598
00:41:57,851 --> 00:42:00,145
(indistinct chatter)
599
00:42:08,820 --> 00:42:09,988
Daemon:
Up.
600
00:42:10,488 --> 00:42:12,282
Alys Rivers:
You were born to wield a sword,
601
00:42:12,282 --> 00:42:16,453
but not so much
an axe, perhaps.
602
00:42:16,453 --> 00:42:18,163
Daemon:
There are others
who would sit idle
603
00:42:18,163 --> 00:42:20,331
and wait for their claims
to be brought to them.
604
00:42:20,331 --> 00:42:23,793
- That is not my way.
- Does splitting firewood justify
what's followed you here?
605
00:42:23,793 --> 00:42:25,837
Let it not be said
that Daemon Targaryen
606
00:42:25,837 --> 00:42:28,131
failed to dirty
his hands in this war.
607
00:42:28,131 --> 00:42:30,300
Oh, let me
see them.
608
00:42:31,176 --> 00:42:33,219
- Sit.
- Daemon: Ah.
609
00:42:33,345 --> 00:42:34,512
Sit!
610
00:42:38,016 --> 00:42:41,311
(sighs)
I hear strange things
from Bracken land,
611
00:42:41,311 --> 00:42:44,689
from Stone Hedge
and Lambswold and Mory.
612
00:42:45,690 --> 00:42:47,692
There's news, then?
613
00:42:47,692 --> 00:42:49,069
News?
614
00:42:50,236 --> 00:42:51,237
No.
615
00:42:53,198 --> 00:42:55,992
What I hear,
I hear in the wind.
616
00:42:55,992 --> 00:42:59,204
- (screams echoing)
- Cries of anguish.
617
00:43:01,039 --> 00:43:03,041
Children being taken
from their mothers,
618
00:43:03,041 --> 00:43:07,003
men coming home
to find their doors
unlatched...
619
00:43:07,003 --> 00:43:09,381
their wives
carried away.
620
00:43:09,381 --> 00:43:11,508
(screaming subsides)
621
00:43:11,508 --> 00:43:14,260
War is a terrible thing.
622
00:43:14,386 --> 00:43:16,221
This is not war.
623
00:43:16,888 --> 00:43:19,349
These are crimes
against the innocent,
624
00:43:19,349 --> 00:43:21,518
that any upright man
would repudiate.
625
00:43:21,518 --> 00:43:24,354
Surely you haven't
mistaken me
for an upright man.
626
00:43:24,354 --> 00:43:26,189
(Alys chuckles)
627
00:43:26,189 --> 00:43:29,734
The Brackens had
their chance to do
as I required.
628
00:43:29,734 --> 00:43:32,028
They will perhaps
think better
of their decision
629
00:43:32,028 --> 00:43:35,407
if their
children's lives
are staked on it.
630
00:43:36,449 --> 00:43:39,244
Is that
the kind of army
you would raise?
631
00:43:40,036 --> 00:43:42,247
Men who hate you...
632
00:43:42,747 --> 00:43:44,374
who serve you
under duress?
633
00:43:44,374 --> 00:43:47,585
Well, once they
agree to serve me,
I'll treat them fairly.
634
00:43:47,711 --> 00:43:48,878
Set an example
for the rest
635
00:43:48,878 --> 00:43:50,922
of the Riverlands
to follow.
636
00:43:51,047 --> 00:43:53,299
And once again,
in the name of power,
637
00:43:53,425 --> 00:43:56,428
it's the weak
and the women
who must endure.
638
00:43:59,097 --> 00:44:02,142
That fool, Aegon,
is unlike to survive.
639
00:44:04,102 --> 00:44:06,479
The realm will suffer
if Aemond One-Eye rules.
640
00:44:07,939 --> 00:44:09,607
You should pray
you never meet him.
641
00:44:10,108 --> 00:44:12,277
He will cut you down
soon as wish you good-day.
642
00:44:12,402 --> 00:44:13,945
I'd heard the same
thing about you.
643
00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:15,071
But I'll cross you
no further.
644
00:44:15,071 --> 00:44:16,614
I'm sure your tactics
are, after all,
645
00:44:16,740 --> 00:44:18,575
approved by
the queen.
646
00:44:18,575 --> 00:44:21,619
(tense music playing)
647
00:44:23,997 --> 00:44:26,416
She cannot succeed,
Alys.
648
00:44:26,958 --> 00:44:29,085
Even if I willed it
to be so.
649
00:44:29,085 --> 00:44:31,129
The people who support her
will not be led by her.
650
00:44:31,254 --> 00:44:33,256
They look to a man
for strength.
651
00:44:33,256 --> 00:44:34,341
Who's better
suited to it?
652
00:44:34,466 --> 00:44:36,926
The Hightowers
with their scheming?
653
00:44:36,926 --> 00:44:39,346
Or Viserys's
first true heir?
654
00:44:40,305 --> 00:44:42,807
When I take
King's Landing...
655
00:44:42,807 --> 00:44:44,267
Rhaenyra is welcome
to join me there
656
00:44:44,267 --> 00:44:46,811
and take her place
by my side.
657
00:44:46,936 --> 00:44:50,940
King and queen...
ruling together.
658
00:44:51,441 --> 00:44:54,152
- And if you lose?
- Then I'll be dead,
659
00:44:54,152 --> 00:44:56,446
and none of this
will be my problem.
660
00:44:56,446 --> 00:44:59,824
It's a pity, don't you think,
that you never knew your mother?
661
00:44:59,949 --> 00:45:02,160
♪
662
00:45:03,328 --> 00:45:05,663
Simon:
A message, Your Grace.
663
00:45:07,457 --> 00:45:08,458
Uh...
664
00:45:10,543 --> 00:45:13,380
uh, fresh news
from Stone Hedge.
665
00:45:13,505 --> 00:45:15,632
The Blackwoods
have overwhelmed
the Brackens,
666
00:45:15,632 --> 00:45:19,344
and, uh, Lord Amos
has pledged his banner
to you.
667
00:45:19,678 --> 00:45:21,846
House Bracken
is yours.
668
00:45:23,014 --> 00:45:25,975
Call Ser Willem here
so that I might
congratulate him.
669
00:45:26,309 --> 00:45:29,187
The Blackwoods will be
feted in these halls.
670
00:45:30,063 --> 00:45:33,316
- (bird cawing)
- (dog barking)
671
00:45:35,860 --> 00:45:38,071
(waves crashing)
672
00:45:40,365 --> 00:45:42,534
I sought you
at High Tide.
673
00:45:43,159 --> 00:45:45,537
I was surprised
when they said
you were here.
674
00:45:46,705 --> 00:45:48,707
My castle is a tomb.
675
00:45:49,916 --> 00:45:52,085
Empty.
Haunted.
676
00:45:52,752 --> 00:45:56,089
I am sad
to have missed
its highest days.
677
00:45:56,881 --> 00:45:58,174
I imagine your
Hall of Nine
678
00:45:58,174 --> 00:46:00,510
filled with lords
and kings,
679
00:46:00,510 --> 00:46:03,763
all eager to treat
with the legendary
Lord of the Tides.
680
00:46:05,515 --> 00:46:06,683
The wealth you
brought back
681
00:46:06,683 --> 00:46:08,018
from Yi Ti
and Asshai,
682
00:46:08,018 --> 00:46:11,396
inspiring awe
and envy.
683
00:46:13,565 --> 00:46:15,775
I wonder if
any of them knew
it was all for her.
684
00:46:24,743 --> 00:46:27,120
Queen Rhaenyra wishes
to name you Hand.
685
00:46:27,245 --> 00:46:29,080
(Corlys sighs)
686
00:46:30,457 --> 00:46:34,586
Even the death
of my wife does
not content her.
687
00:46:36,588 --> 00:46:38,965
Has she not asked
enough of my house?
688
00:46:39,424 --> 00:46:42,260
It is a sign
of her great esteem.
689
00:46:43,219 --> 00:46:45,138
Or does she think
the position will
compensate me
690
00:46:45,263 --> 00:46:47,557
for my loss?
691
00:46:47,557 --> 00:46:50,060
Pledge your peace
to King's Landing, then.
692
00:46:50,060 --> 00:46:52,479
They will accept it
most gleefully.
693
00:46:54,773 --> 00:46:57,734
Rather I would sail
into the West and be lost.
694
00:46:58,818 --> 00:47:00,612
You have done so before,
695
00:47:00,737 --> 00:47:03,656
at great cost to yourself
and those who loved you.
696
00:47:06,117 --> 00:47:09,329
Rhaenys was not
only your wife...
697
00:47:09,454 --> 00:47:11,915
not a thing to be
taken from you.
698
00:47:12,582 --> 00:47:15,960

Yes, and if only
they had riders,

The next best thing,
next to having Daemon back,
970
01:07:27,172 --> 01:07:29,466
is one of the most respected men
in Westeros,
971
01:07:29,466 --> 01:07:30,675
and that's the Sea Snake.
972
01:07:30,967 --> 01:07:33,511
And she doesn't exploit
Rhaenys' death to do it.
973
01:07:33,511 --> 01:07:35,847
She knows that the man is there,
looking for purpose,
974
01:07:35,847 --> 01:07:37,223
probably looking
for a bit of vengeance,
975
01:07:37,349 --> 01:07:39,184
and she probably takes
advantage of that in the moment
976
01:07:39,184 --> 01:07:40,685

to fight a war.
980
01:07:52,238 --> 01:07:55,241
I think Mysaria's power
increases in Rhaenys' absence
981
01:07:55,241 --> 01:07:56,701
because I think Rhaenyra
is desperate
982
01:07:56,701 --> 01:07:59,746
and looking for that sympathetic
female voice in her life.
983
01:08:00,246 --> 01:08:02,040
Mysaria's offering another way,
which is,
984
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:03,917
"I understand the will
of the people,
985
01:08:04,084 --> 01:08:05,877
and we can manipulate that
986
01:08:05,877 --> 01:08:07,337
and play that
to your advantage."
987
01:08:07,337 --> 01:08:09,422
An element
of what we're watching
988
01:08:09,547 --> 01:08:10,715
is propaganda war.
989
01:08:10,715 --> 01:08:12,384
How to win the hearts
of the people.
990
01:08:12,509 --> 01:08:15,220

that she receives from Mysaria.

RYAN CONDAL: I don't think this
is something that Rhaenyra
992
01:08:17,681 --> 01:08:18,765
had thought of or considered
993
01:08:18,890 --> 01:08:20,725
until Mysaria brought it
to the fore.
994
01:08:21,017 --> 01:08:22,602
And it's a bit of
a modern concept,
995
01:08:22,727 --> 01:08:25,397
this idea of the, quote-unquote,
"power of the people."

1006
01:08:49,087 --> 01:08:51,798
His expectations are for people
to honor him
1007
01:08:51,923 --> 01:08:53,758
and put him up on a pedestal.
1008
01:08:53,925 --> 01:08:55,260
If you look like you've won
1009
01:08:55,260 --> 01:08:57,262
and you carry yourselves
like you've won,
1010
01:08:57,262 --> 01:08:59,222
and the public don't know
what's really happened,
1011
01:08:59,222 --> 01:09:00,765
then that's what everyone's
going to believe.
1012
01:09:01,099 --> 01:09:02,976
But what happens
is so different.
1013

Don't they realize we won
the battle?
1014
01:09:05,437 --> 01:09:07,647
Strange victory,
if it was one.
1015
01:09:07,647 --> 01:09:09,441
RYAN: The calculation
that he doesn't make
1016
01:09:09,441 --> 01:09:11,151
is how it will land
on the small folk.
1017
01:09:11,151 --> 01:09:13,153
I mean, Meleys is
a beloved dragon
1018
01:09:13,278 --> 01:09:15,280
that probably flew over
that city hundreds of times
1019
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,073
and is seen
as one of these symbols
1020
01:09:17,073 --> 01:09:18,491
of the unshakableness,
1021
01:09:18,491 --> 01:09:20,994
of the invincibility
of the Targaryens.
1022
01:09:21,119 --> 01:09:22,454
I thought the dragons was gods.
1023
01:09:22,454 --> 01:09:23,788
FREDDIE FOX: You know,
as soon as people can see
1024
01:09:23,788 --> 01:09:26,332
you can kill dragons,
well, then anybody can do it.
1025
01:09:26,458 --> 01:09:28,960
And that-- does that mean
that these people that have--
1026
01:09:29,085 --> 01:09:30,587
we've always thought of
as being gods
1027
01:09:30,587 --> 01:09:32,672
because of their ability
to ride dragons
1028
01:09:33,131 --> 01:09:35,592
is actually all
a bit of a mirage?
1029
01:09:36,634 --> 01:09:39,012
RYAN: This is, at best,
a terrible omen
1030
01:09:39,137 --> 01:09:41,639
and at worst, a harbinger
of the things to come.
1031
01:09:45,977 --> 01:09:48,772

what befell him?
1032

1033
01:09:51,024 --> 01:09:53,651
And Aemond?
What was his part in this?
1034
01:09:53,777 --> 01:09:54,986
I could not say.
1035
01:09:55,362 --> 01:09:58,698
RYAN: The dramatic tension
that looms over the episode is,
1036
01:09:58,823 --> 01:10:00,367
what is the state of Aegon?
1037
01:10:00,367 --> 01:10:03,995
And did he survive the end
of episode four?
1038
01:10:04,496 --> 01:10:06,289
And will he survive
through the end of this episode?
1039
01:10:06,623 --> 01:10:08,124
And I think that's
what's kind of looming
1040
01:10:08,124 --> 01:10:10,043
over all these characters,
that big question,
1041
01:10:10,335 --> 01:10:13,129
to show the cost
of letting your sovereign
1042
01:10:13,296 --> 01:10:15,048

and ride into battle.
1043
01:10:15,215 --> 01:10:17,217
Someone will have to rule
in his stead.
1044
01:10:17,217 --> 01:10:19,010
EWAN MITCHELL: I mean,
it's everything he ever wanted.
1045
01:10:19,010 --> 01:10:21,137
With great power
comes great responsibility,
1046
01:10:21,137 --> 01:10:22,889
and he's got to be seen
as someone
1047
01:10:23,014 --> 01:10:24,182
who knows how to wield it.
1048
01:10:24,391 --> 01:10:26,685
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.
1049
01:10:26,685 --> 01:10:28,353
RYAN: I mean,
this is a massive power shift,
1050
01:10:28,353 --> 01:10:29,854
all of a sudden,
at the Green Council.
1051
01:10:29,854 --> 01:10:33,024
It was dramatized by the meeting
where Aemond takes power
1052
01:10:33,024 --> 01:10:34,234
in this very kind of banal way,
1053
01:10:34,401 --> 01:10:36,403
where he just stands up
from the foot of the table,
1054
01:10:36,403 --> 01:10:38,154
takes his ball, and moves over
to the King's seat,
1055
01:10:38,154 --> 01:10:39,531
and puts it down,
and sits,
1056
01:10:39,656 --> 01:10:41,199
and then starts
doling out orders
1057
01:10:41,199 --> 01:10:42,867
while everybody,
including Alicent,
1058
01:10:42,867 --> 01:10:43,910
especially Alicent,
1059
01:10:43,910 --> 01:10:45,870
are reeling from the decision.
1060
01:10:45,995 --> 01:10:47,372
And you feel the shift
in that way
1061
01:10:47,372 --> 01:10:49,749
and how different the Red Keep
is going to be
1062
01:10:49,749 --> 01:10:52,168
with Aemond in charge versus
the way it was with Aegon.
1063
01:10:52,544 --> 01:10:54,921
Someone cut down
the fucking ratcatchers.
1064
01:10:55,046 --> 01:10:56,047
(HORSE WHINNIES)
1065
01:10:56,506 --> 01:10:58,008
DAEMON TARGARYEN:
Our terms are simple,
Lord Bracken.
1066
01:10:58,008 --> 01:11:00,760
Renounce the false King Aegon
as a usurper.
1067
01:11:01,845 --> 01:11:03,179
Bend the knee to me,
1068
01:11:04,597 --> 01:11:05,890
or your house burns.
1069
01:11:06,391 --> 01:11:09,060
Daemon approaches life
always trying to hammer
1070
01:11:09,060 --> 01:11:11,229
that square peg
into the round hole,
1071
01:11:11,229 --> 01:11:14,858
and he's just trying to force
his will upon this place.
1072
01:11:15,567 --> 01:11:18,903
I love the image of him
in his full dragon battle armor,
1073
01:11:18,903 --> 01:11:19,946
sitting on the rock,
1074
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,741
and not understanding
what's happened, and saying...
1075
01:11:22,741 --> 01:11:25,368
I did not think they would be
so eager to die.
1076
01:11:25,368 --> 01:11:28,288
And the Riverlands is just
this unwrangleable place to him.
1077
01:11:28,413 --> 01:11:30,081
He's brought his values
1078
01:11:30,081 --> 01:11:32,792
and sort of
Targaryen dragon lord values
1079
01:11:32,917 --> 01:11:34,127
into a place that is rich
1080
01:11:34,127 --> 01:11:35,754
with the old gods
and these old ways.
1081
01:11:35,754 --> 01:11:38,381
These people just don't respect
the dragon lords
1082
01:11:38,381 --> 01:11:40,592
the way Daemon is hoping
or used to.
1083
01:11:40,717 --> 01:11:43,261
I see I must begin here
with a lesson in etiquette.
1084
01:11:43,428 --> 01:11:46,890
On the page, I thought, "Yeah,
this is the right territory.
1085
01:11:46,890 --> 01:11:49,225
This is where we should be.
This is where his head's at."
1086
01:11:49,225 --> 01:11:51,561
It's how mental
his kind of state is.
1087
01:11:51,561 --> 01:11:54,481
CLARE: Is Daemon trying
to usurp Rhaenyra?
1088
01:11:54,481 --> 01:11:57,650
It's, like, unfair
that he wasn't given the crown,
1089
01:11:57,776 --> 01:12:00,111
that he isn't listened to,
1090
01:12:00,111 --> 01:12:01,988
that he doesn't have
that power.
1091
01:12:02,155 --> 01:12:03,948
We just don't know
what he's going to do
1092
01:12:03,948 --> 01:12:06,326
or, ultimately,
how he's going to turn.
1093
01:12:06,326 --> 01:12:08,787
And while I don't think that
anybody could ever be asked
1094
01:12:08,787 --> 01:12:11,289
to believe that he would turn
against Rhaenyra
1095
01:12:11,289 --> 01:12:12,791
and, like, go to war
against her,
1096
01:12:12,957 --> 01:12:15,168
I think we could all believe
that maybe Daemon would just go
1097
01:12:15,293 --> 01:12:17,128
and claim the throne
for himself
1098
01:12:17,128 --> 01:12:18,254
and then see what happens.
1099
01:12:18,463 --> 01:12:20,340
What would you call the husband
of the Queen?
1100
01:12:20,507 --> 01:12:22,592
- Well, the King--
- DAEMON: There it is, then.
1101
01:12:22,592 --> 01:12:23,635
...consort.
1102
01:12:25,178 --> 01:12:27,514
That last bit seems unnecessary,
don't you think?
