1
00:03:09,981 --> 00:03:12,650
- Only one.
- That's enough, stand back.

2
00:03:19,616 --> 00:03:21,034
Behold!

3
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:24,871
The traitor dragon Meleys!

4
00:03:26,289 --> 00:03:30,126
Slain at Rook's Rest by your king!

5
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:34,339
To Aegon!

6
00:03:43,098 --> 00:03:44,933
- It can't be...
- They killed a dragon!

7
00:03:46,393 --> 00:03:49,062
Mark my words, this is a black omen.

8
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:08,832
Rhaenyra will answer this.

9
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:11,960
'Tis an abomination.

10
00:04:13,294 --> 00:04:15,422
Don't they realize we won the battle?

11
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,550
Strange victory

12
00:04:19,467 --> 00:04:21,011
if it was one.

13
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:40,864
Behold!

14
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,658
The traitor dragon Meleys!

15
00:04:44,659 --> 00:04:46,452
I thought the dragons was gods.

16
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:49,831
Slain at Rook's Rest by your king!

17
00:04:58,256 --> 00:04:59,883
It's just meat.

18
00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:20,731
Is he alive?

19
00:07:20,732 --> 00:07:21,983
His Grace

20
00:07:22,984 --> 00:07:25,612
remains with us, for the moment.

21
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:23,836
Is my son going to die?

22
00:08:23,837 --> 00:08:25,797
I'm afraid I cannot say.

23
00:08:26,256 --> 00:08:29,216
Now, if you'll excuse me, Your Grace,
these next hours are most critical.

24
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:30,510
Of course.

25
00:08:43,606 --> 00:08:44,983
Easy as you can.

26
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:07,630
Someone will have to rule in his stead.

27
00:09:31,529 --> 00:09:34,114
- What happened?
- We took the castle.

28
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:36,618
At the cost of some 900 men.

29
00:09:38,453 --> 00:09:40,080
So I've heard.

30
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:44,458
I left a meager garrison
behind to protect it

31
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:46,378
and the king's dragon.

32
00:09:46,961 --> 00:09:49,463
Sunfyre was long in the dying.

33
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:51,925
The king, Ser Criston, what befell him?

34
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,806
His Grace fought valiantly.

35
00:10:04,396 --> 00:10:05,689
And Aemond?

36
00:10:12,779 --> 00:10:14,406
What was his part in this?

37
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:20,286
I could not say.

38
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:26,751
Our largest dragon has been killed.

39
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:31,881
Criston Cole marches
about the Crownlands unchallenged.

40
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,844
Duskendale and Rook's Rest are gone.

41
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:38,762
We still have no ground army

42
00:10:38,763 --> 00:10:41,765
but the one we hope
that Daemon will raise.

43
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:46,021
He who has left us,
after some marital spat.

44
00:10:48,356 --> 00:10:49,983
Do you take issue with me, Ser Alfred?

45
00:10:52,736 --> 00:10:54,904
My loyalty to you is proven, my queen.

46
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:57,239
Your loyalty, perhaps,

47
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,034
but your willingness to give me deference
in a time of war.

48
00:11:00,035 --> 00:11:05,290
I could never doubt your capability,
or your quickness of mind.

49
00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:11,545
It is merely that the gentler sex,
heretofore, has not been much privy

50
00:11:11,546 --> 00:11:16,384
to the strategies of battle,
or their execution.

51
00:11:18,094 --> 00:11:19,928
There has been peace in our lifetime.

52
00:11:19,929 --> 00:11:22,307
You've seen no more battles than I have.

53
00:11:42,202 --> 00:11:44,703
Send to Maidenpool and to Crackclaw Point.

54
00:11:44,704 --> 00:11:47,456
Let them man their garrisons
and give them stores or weapons

55
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:48,750
if they find them wanting.

56
00:11:50,168 --> 00:11:52,711
If Cole pursues his campaign,
our allies must be ready.

57
00:11:52,712 --> 00:11:55,130
We must answer Rook's Rest

58
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:57,217
- and Duskendale.
- They are lost already.

59
00:11:57,342 --> 00:12:00,970
But Vhagar is depleted
after such a hard-fought battle.

60
00:12:01,513 --> 00:12:02,596
If Aegon is dead...

61
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:03,764
We will soon know it.

62
00:12:03,765 --> 00:12:05,683
'Twould be a victory in name only.

63
00:12:05,684 --> 00:12:07,643
They will soon prop up another
in his stead.

64
00:12:07,644 --> 00:12:08,977
The time is ripe.

65
00:12:08,978 --> 00:12:11,855
If we can strike King's Landing
before their dragon is recovered...

66
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:13,607
Then I myself must do it.

67
00:12:13,608 --> 00:12:17,152
My queen, you are the crown.
It is out of the question.

68
00:12:17,153 --> 00:12:19,656
What would you have me do?

69
00:12:40,301 --> 00:12:41,678
Jace?

70
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:45,974
Where are you going?

71
00:12:47,642 --> 00:12:48,768
To Harrenhal.

72
00:12:49,894 --> 00:12:51,146
To treat with Daemon.

73
00:12:51,813 --> 00:12:53,188
Rhaenys is fallen.

74
00:12:53,189 --> 00:12:56,985
He must affirm his loyalty to my mother
and report his standing.

75
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:03,866
And you think you will tame him
when the queen herself could not?

76
00:13:03,867 --> 00:13:08,705
My mother gladly sends you away
to scout, to fight,

77
00:13:08,830 --> 00:13:11,915
whilst I'm here being forced to play
the coddled princeling.

78
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,792
It's humiliating, Baela.

79
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:16,086
She only protects you.

80
00:13:16,087 --> 00:13:17,671
You are the succession.

81
00:13:17,672 --> 00:13:21,468
Then I must be seen to act for her claim
and mine.

82
00:13:25,513 --> 00:13:27,849
I can sit still no longer.

83
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:31,978
I must act.

84
00:13:39,944 --> 00:13:40,944
The Freys.

85
00:13:43,198 --> 00:13:45,657
They control the crossing at the Twins.

86
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,452
Cregan Stark's graybeards
are marching south.

87
00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:51,872
If his men had a direct route
into the Riverlands,

88
00:13:51,873 --> 00:13:53,667
we would not have to wait
for Daemon to act.

89
00:13:54,709 --> 00:13:57,294
I will treat with The Freys to secure it.

90
00:13:57,295 --> 00:13:59,005
She will not like it.

91
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:03,301
Then don't tell her. Not until I'm away.

92
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:19,943
{\an8}The hour is late
and my dragon is hungry.

93
00:14:20,735 --> 00:14:23,237
{\an8}You have no choice but to submit.

94
00:14:23,238 --> 00:14:25,072
Our terms are simple, Lord Bracken.

95
00:14:25,073 --> 00:14:30,829
Renounce the false king Aegon as a usurper
and bend the knee to me

96
00:14:31,579 --> 00:14:33,414
or your house burns.

97
00:14:33,415 --> 00:14:36,542
I would sooner be
the Lord of Bones and Cinders

98
00:14:36,543 --> 00:14:40,796
than bend my knee before some heathen
Blackwood cunt

99
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:42,589
and his hired dragon.

100
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:44,133
The Brackens were a people hatched out

101
00:14:44,134 --> 00:14:46,719
of the deepest of the Seven Hells,
Your Grace.

102
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,053
It would be a kindness to oblige them

103
00:14:48,054 --> 00:14:50,056
and send them back whence they came.

104
00:14:50,181 --> 00:14:53,935
Did your brother's head
keep on its way back to you, Willem?

105
00:14:54,352 --> 00:14:56,146
I heard the maggots got to it.

106
00:14:56,271 --> 00:14:59,024
That is quite the impression,
Lord Bracken.

107
00:15:00,150 --> 00:15:02,152
But alas, not an answer.

108
00:15:11,995 --> 00:15:13,288
We choose fire.

109
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:26,801
I did not think they would be
so eager to die.

110
00:15:28,386 --> 00:15:29,846
They made their choice.

111
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:33,557
- You should've indulged them.
- I need them alive.

112
00:15:33,558 --> 00:15:36,478
I came here to raise swords, not corpses.

113
00:15:37,187 --> 00:15:40,147
But now you see what my house
has known for generations.

114
00:15:40,148 --> 00:15:42,149
They are pigheaded, intransigent...

115
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:44,736
They would rather burn than succumb.

116
00:15:48,573 --> 00:15:50,492
Exactly the kind of men I need.

117
00:15:52,786 --> 00:15:56,246
It may yet be possible, I think,
for both of us to achieve our ends.

118
00:15:56,247 --> 00:15:58,916
We have fought them for an age and more.

119
00:15:58,917 --> 00:16:02,796
Then perhaps you could try
less fighting and more

120
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,134
persuading.

121
00:16:09,219 --> 00:16:11,846
They are unyielding in battle.

122
00:16:18,728 --> 00:16:20,730
But every man has a weakness.

123
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:23,900
You take my meaning, then.

124
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:31,533
There are things the crown itself must
not been seen to do.

125
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:34,660
Show them your worst.

126
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,913
I am your servant, Your Grace.

127
00:16:58,268 --> 00:17:01,854
<i>Over the centuries,
many and more armies</i>

128
00:17:01,855 --> 00:17:04,941
have broken themselves
against my bloody gate.

129
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,156
Are you listening?

130
00:17:12,157 --> 00:17:13,283
My lady.

131
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:16,661
The Eyrie itself is impregnable.

132
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,291
Unless, of course,
we're descended upon from the sky.

133
00:17:22,292 --> 00:17:25,002
You promised the Queen Rhaenyra
15,000 swords...

134
00:17:25,003 --> 00:17:28,089
In return for protection. A dragon.

135
00:17:29,966 --> 00:17:33,720
Then she has exceeded your terms.
She sent two.

136
00:17:34,554 --> 00:17:36,931
Both still wet from the egg.

137
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:41,143
I have hunting hounds
that are more fearsome.

138
00:17:41,144 --> 00:17:43,396
They are dragons nonetheless.

139
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:47,107
I do not recall you specifying
the size of the beast in your request.

140
00:17:47,108 --> 00:17:49,027
Will you goad me, child?

141
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:52,405
When your bread and shelter
now depend on my pleasure?

142
00:17:54,282 --> 00:17:56,117
The dragons will grow

143
00:17:57,327 --> 00:17:59,329
- in time.
- I don't have time.

144
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,416
I mislike feeling powerless.

145
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:06,294
So do I.

146
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:16,805
This will be your chamber.
I'll expect you at supper this evening?

147
00:18:20,058 --> 00:18:23,561
My sympathies for the death
of your grandmother.

148
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:35,280
The way they spoke
at my small council today.

149
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:38,659
Do they hold you responsible
for Rhaenys and her dragon?

150
00:18:38,660 --> 00:18:40,370
I would rather they had.

151
00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:43,373
They speak around me, not to me.

152
00:18:44,374 --> 00:18:47,668
They would make me queen,
but they wish to keep me here, confined.

153
00:18:47,669 --> 00:18:50,130
They betray their own smallness.

154
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:52,214
In truth, I cannot fault them.

155
00:18:52,215 --> 00:18:55,301
I am now the sovereign.
I cannot do as I please.

156
00:18:56,386 --> 00:18:59,179
And war has ever been for men to make.

157
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:02,017
You are your father’s chosen successor.

158
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:04,852
He did not prepare me to fight.

159
00:19:04,853 --> 00:19:07,021
If I had been a son,

160
00:19:07,022 --> 00:19:10,525
a sword thrust into my hand
the moment I could walk.

161
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:13,278
Instead, I was given my father's cup,

162
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:18,157
taught the name of every lord and castle
between Storm's End and the Twins,

163
00:19:18,158 --> 00:19:21,119
but not the difference
between hilt and foible.

164
00:19:22,037 --> 00:19:23,663
And they know it.

165
00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:26,540
And Daemon as well...

166
00:19:26,541 --> 00:19:28,667
Shall your evening meal
be served here, Your Grace?

167
00:19:28,668 --> 00:19:30,378
Not now.

168
00:19:36,426 --> 00:19:38,053
Will you send to him?

169
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:42,306
For too long,
I have looked to him for strength.

170
00:19:42,307 --> 00:19:46,186
If I must be supplicant to my own husband,
what does that make me?

171
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:52,859
I do not know my part, Mysaria.

172
00:19:55,904 --> 00:19:58,531
The path I walk has never been trod.

173
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:02,535
Criston Cole made a mistake.

174
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:09,166
Parading a dragon's head
through the streets like a prize of war,

175
00:20:09,167 --> 00:20:11,210
but the people see an ill omen.

176
00:20:11,211 --> 00:20:12,836
Yes, as do I.

177
00:20:12,837 --> 00:20:17,591
They are afraid, bread is scarce,
the king has fallen,

178
00:20:17,592 --> 00:20:20,094
they whisper to each other
that when Viserys lived,

179
00:20:20,095 --> 00:20:22,388
there was peace.

180
00:20:22,389 --> 00:20:26,725
But will whispers tear down stone,
or break shields?

181
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:30,104
Do not underestimate your subjects.

182
00:20:30,105 --> 00:20:33,565
They are a thousand-thousand
living in the shadow of the Red Keep

183
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:36,069
and forgotten for too long.

184
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:39,154
And you think they will turn to me.

185
00:20:39,155 --> 00:20:43,451
To the discontented, rumors are feed.

186
00:20:48,123 --> 00:20:49,749
Your Grace.

187
00:20:52,168 --> 00:20:56,381
What you cannot do, let others do for you.

188
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:00,969
There is more than one way to fight a war.

189
00:21:23,324 --> 00:21:27,871
The thought of her lying in a field,
broken amongst her enemies.

190
00:21:39,174 --> 00:21:43,178
Did your grandmother ever tell you
of the night she claimed Meleys?

191
00:21:44,179 --> 00:21:46,181
She snuck into the Dragonpit.

192
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:49,351
She knew that place better than any Elder.

193
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:51,936
They say she could see in the dark.

194
00:21:53,563 --> 00:21:55,356
My father was furious.

195
00:21:55,357 --> 00:21:58,984
His own mother's dragon,
the fastest beast ever known

196
00:21:58,985 --> 00:22:00,944
and she'd have none of him.

197
00:22:00,945 --> 00:22:03,239
But bent her neck to Rhaenys.

198
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:06,326
She was fierce

199
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,662
in love and in anger.

200
00:22:12,374 --> 00:22:16,002
She did not always care for me, but

201
00:22:17,796 --> 00:22:21,800
for what she gave me in the end,
I'm grateful.

202
00:22:27,806 --> 00:22:30,642
I wished I had known her
when she was young.

203
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,568
You are very like her in some ways.

204
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:48,075
And with her gone,
I must rely on you, I think.

205
00:22:48,076 --> 00:22:49,786
Your Grace?

206
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:53,415
Would you give this to your grandsire?

207
00:23:05,135 --> 00:23:07,554
I do not wish to stand alone.

208
00:23:11,474 --> 00:23:13,101
Daemon.

209
00:23:17,856 --> 00:23:19,274
<i>Daemon.</i>

210
00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:22,777
<i>You were always the strong one.</i>

211
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:27,407
The finest swordsman.

212
00:23:30,201 --> 00:23:32,829
The fearless dragonrider.

213
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,959
{\an8}<i>Your brother had great love in his heart</i>

214
00:23:42,714 --> 00:23:44,883
<i>but he lacked your constitution.</i>

215
00:23:46,009 --> 00:23:48,511
<i>Viserys was unsuited for the crown</i>

216
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:55,685
<i>but you, Daemon,
you were made to wear it.</i>

217
00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:18,333
<i>If only you'd been born first.</i>

218
00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:22,671
My favorite son.

219
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:32,347
Is the duck not to your liking,
Your Grace?

220
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,772
There's also goose, if you'd prefer it.

221
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:44,484
I like the goose, myself.

222
00:24:52,784 --> 00:24:54,368
I'm not hungry.

223
00:24:54,369 --> 00:24:57,706
I was saying, given the rather dire news
from Rook's Rest

224
00:24:59,457 --> 00:25:03,460
it appears the winds have shifted
and each side has suffered great loss

225
00:25:03,461 --> 00:25:05,839
and will be unsure of what is to follow.

226
00:25:08,174 --> 00:25:10,385
A good time, then, for a show of strength.

227
00:25:11,136 --> 00:25:14,597
I believe Willem Blackwood
is bringing House Bracken to heel.

228
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:19,394
We must ready the castle
to receive a great host.

229
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:23,481
You seem sure of this.

230
00:25:23,606 --> 00:25:25,650
All men may be led, Ser Simon.

231
00:25:26,443 --> 00:25:27,986
Even Rivermen.

232
00:25:29,112 --> 00:25:32,824
'Tis a matter of showing them
whom it behooves them to follow.

233
00:25:34,367 --> 00:25:36,244
How does the work here progress?

234
00:25:36,953 --> 00:25:37,953
Oh...

235
00:25:39,330 --> 00:25:40,664
We're drawing water for the kitchens

236
00:25:40,665 --> 00:25:43,208
- and lighting the forges.
- Very well.

237
00:25:43,209 --> 00:25:45,669
That is merely the beginning, of course.

238
00:25:45,670 --> 00:25:48,464
The roof alone has needed tending
since the reign of Aenys.

239
00:25:48,465 --> 00:25:50,967
And the storerooms. And...

240
00:25:51,926 --> 00:25:54,346
and the Wailing Tower.

241
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:57,389
The bats have made the corridors
almost impassable

242
00:25:57,390 --> 00:25:59,476
with the quantity of their...

243
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,020
Their shit.

244
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:08,734
{\an8}I venture there are smiths and armorers
to be found near Nutton and Riverbend.

245
00:26:08,735 --> 00:26:12,906
{\an8}Well, send for them, and levy the farmers
from Antlers to High Heart.

246
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:15,825
Task their huntsmen
to bring us meat and wood.

247
00:26:17,577 --> 00:26:19,287
There is, of course,
the matter of payment.

248
00:26:21,623 --> 00:26:25,377
After the tragedy that befell his father,

249
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:30,173
Larys transferred his family's wealth
to King's Landing.

250
00:26:32,217 --> 00:26:34,718
Is there any gold left in your coffers?

251
00:26:34,719 --> 00:26:39,182
Enough to keep this small establishment
you see fed and warm.

252
00:26:40,183 --> 00:26:41,601
Relatively.

253
00:26:44,312 --> 00:26:51,027
I rather thought, Your Grace,
as emissary to the Queen

254
00:26:51,152 --> 00:26:54,947
that perhaps she could provide
the necessary coin

255
00:26:54,948 --> 00:26:57,575
- if you could only write to her.
- No.

256
00:26:58,576 --> 00:27:00,578
Harrenhal is my command.

257
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:03,790
I shall guarantee the payment myself.

258
00:27:04,874 --> 00:27:06,459
Up, up.

259
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:11,589
Very well, Your Grace.

260
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:14,884
You should address me as "my king."

261
00:27:15,468 --> 00:27:17,178
But you're the prince.

262
00:27:17,721 --> 00:27:19,888
What would you call
the husband of the queen?

263
00:27:19,889 --> 00:27:21,557
- Well, the king...
- There it is, then.

264
00:27:21,558 --> 00:27:23,059
...consort.

265
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:26,938
That last bit seems unnecessary,
don't you think?

266
00:27:32,902 --> 00:27:35,029
The armor was Valyrian steel

267
00:27:35,030 --> 00:27:39,075
but His Grace suffered grievous burns over
much of his body.

268
00:27:40,243 --> 00:27:42,119
He has many broken bones.

269
00:27:42,120 --> 00:27:47,500
I fear there are more injuries within,
injuries we cannot see.

270
00:27:49,878 --> 00:27:52,297
We are grateful for your works,
Grand Maester.

271
00:27:53,548 --> 00:27:55,967
- Has he woken?
- No.

272
00:27:57,594 --> 00:28:02,181
I must admit,
I'm not sure he will ever wake.

273
00:28:02,182 --> 00:28:05,601
I have plied my crafts
to their fullest extents.

274
00:28:05,602 --> 00:28:09,564
Our king's fate lies with the gods now.

275
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:22,369
A king cannot rule in his sleep.

276
00:28:23,453 --> 00:28:25,663
The realm will have noticed his absence.

277
00:28:26,373 --> 00:28:28,583
Let them hear of his great deeds
at Rook's Rest.

278
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:32,795
But now we must name a regent
to take his place

279
00:28:32,796 --> 00:28:34,506
until he recovers

280
00:28:36,883 --> 00:28:38,093
or does not.

281
00:28:39,761 --> 00:28:42,054
A wise strategy, Your Grace.

282
00:28:42,055 --> 00:28:46,184
A regency will assure the people
of the stability of the crown.

283
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:52,023
Did you have a candidate in mind,
Your Grace?

284
00:28:52,691 --> 00:28:54,400
I myself served in this role
for my husband.

285
00:28:54,401 --> 00:28:55,943
I am well-prepared to do it again.

286
00:28:55,944 --> 00:28:59,071
You played your part admirably
in a time of peace, Your Grace,

287
00:28:59,072 --> 00:29:01,032
but circumstances have changed.

288
00:29:01,783 --> 00:29:03,409
And here I had forgotten.

289
00:29:03,410 --> 00:29:05,703
The king does not lack for heirs.

290
00:29:05,704 --> 00:29:10,541
The obvious choice is
his immediate successor, Prince Aemond.

291
00:29:10,542 --> 00:29:11,959
Agreed.

292
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,670
Aemond is young.

293
00:29:15,088 --> 00:29:17,590
And his lack of restraint
has already cost us dearly.

294
00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:31,228
It is experience that offers
the surest path to security.

295
00:29:31,229 --> 00:29:34,356
Queen Alicent ably
shouldered the duties of the realm

296
00:29:34,357 --> 00:29:35,983
when her husband's health failed him.

297
00:29:35,984 --> 00:29:38,903
Experience is valuable, yes,
but the dowager queen is a woman.

298
00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:42,072
I am no stranger to rule
or to sitting at this council.

299
00:29:42,073 --> 00:29:43,574
Aemond is a fearsome dragonrider.

300
00:29:43,575 --> 00:29:44,950
His skill is best employed in the field

301
00:29:44,951 --> 00:29:47,745
but my experience is needed here,
at this table.

302
00:29:47,746 --> 00:29:50,205
No offense was meant, Your Grace, but

303
00:29:50,206 --> 00:29:54,294
- at a time when we must show strength.
- Lord Larys?

304
00:29:55,545 --> 00:29:57,797
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.

305
00:30:00,091 --> 00:30:02,384
What would it say if,
in response to Rhaenyra's crowning,

306
00:30:02,385 --> 00:30:04,679
we raised up a woman of our own?

307
00:30:07,182 --> 00:30:08,183
But...

308
00:30:10,518 --> 00:30:14,481
but the Hand speaks for the king's voice.
Ser Criston, what say you?

309
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,698
Aemond is the next in line.

310
00:30:25,867 --> 00:30:27,285
It must be him.

311
00:30:31,915 --> 00:30:33,917
It's agreed then.

312
00:30:55,438 --> 00:30:57,691
What is our standing in the Riverlands?

313
00:30:59,567 --> 00:31:04,071
The banners of House Tully
are in disarray, Your Grace.

314
00:31:04,072 --> 00:31:08,451
Prince Daemon has little hope
of fielding an army of any size, for now.

315
00:31:09,703 --> 00:31:11,703
We would do well to send word
to young Oscar Tully.

316
00:31:12,414 --> 00:31:15,874
It's only a matter of time
before he inherits his grandsire's mantle.

317
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:19,586
Tell me, Lord Strong,
how I can trust the counsel of a man

318
00:31:19,587 --> 00:31:22,966
who leaves the jewel of the Riverlands
to be plucked by our enemy?

319
00:31:27,345 --> 00:31:28,721
Your brother's host can meet Daemon.

320
00:31:28,722 --> 00:31:31,223
He should quicken its pace
and check the Rivermen

321
00:31:31,224 --> 00:31:32,850
while their banners are in disarray.

322
00:31:32,851 --> 00:31:35,227
I shall send Lord Jason encouragement.

323
00:31:35,228 --> 00:31:37,938
- What else?
- We might turn our attention

324
00:31:37,939 --> 00:31:40,441
to the smallfolk here in King's Landing.

325
00:31:40,442 --> 00:31:42,943
They have grown weary
of the Sea Snake's blockade.

326
00:31:42,944 --> 00:31:45,154
So have we all.

327
00:31:45,155 --> 00:31:49,701
Many are fleeing the city,
spreading word of their fear and unrest.

328
00:31:50,827 --> 00:31:53,079
Then let the gates be closed.

329
00:31:55,373 --> 00:31:57,833
No one is to leave or enter,
save with our consent.

330
00:31:57,834 --> 00:32:00,754
Merchants, so forth.

331
00:32:05,008 --> 00:32:06,843
Go to your tasks.

332
00:32:07,761 --> 00:32:10,137
We shall meet again at first light.

333
00:32:10,138 --> 00:32:13,933
Oh, and someone cut down
the fucking ratcatchers.

334
00:32:21,107 --> 00:32:23,318
The city's safe no longer.

335
00:32:25,153 --> 00:32:26,571
There is no food.

336
00:32:27,655 --> 00:32:29,448
Our neighbors are stealing
from each other.

337
00:32:29,449 --> 00:32:30,824
We must get out.

338
00:32:30,825 --> 00:32:32,202
{\an8}And where would you have us go?

339
00:32:32,786 --> 00:32:34,996
North, maybe? South?

340
00:32:35,747 --> 00:32:37,850
For all we know, every road leads
into the dragons' teeth.

341
00:32:37,874 --> 00:32:40,085
Like the one they carted
through the streets?

342
00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:45,006
You think Rhaenyra will let
such an affront go unchallenged?

343
00:32:48,093 --> 00:32:50,803
We should make for Tumbleton.

344
00:32:50,804 --> 00:32:52,846
My brother will have room.

345
00:32:52,847 --> 00:32:54,766
You would have me turn beggar?

346
00:33:00,814 --> 00:33:02,816
Are we not beggars already?

347
00:33:03,817 --> 00:33:06,402
Have you been paid for those machines
you were forced to build?

348
00:33:06,403 --> 00:33:08,070
The king has promised payment.

349
00:33:08,071 --> 00:33:10,990
The king has lied!

350
00:33:22,585 --> 00:33:24,421
By all means,

351
00:33:25,255 --> 00:33:28,675
stay and wait
for his empty promises, husband.

352
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,596
With them, you can feed
the mouths of ghosts.

353
00:34:12,969 --> 00:34:14,637
Presumed you'd be here.

354
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:17,974
Seeing faithfully
to the Prince Regent's commands.

355
00:34:18,767 --> 00:34:20,809
Aemond is the next in line.

356
00:34:20,810 --> 00:34:22,061
It is the order of things.

357
00:34:22,062 --> 00:34:23,812
You know what he is,

358
00:34:23,813 --> 00:34:25,899
what he has somehow become.

359
00:34:29,110 --> 00:34:31,987
Has your loyalty faded?
Or does it flourish only at night

360
00:34:31,988 --> 00:34:34,741
and flee the sunrise like a moth?

361
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:40,037
What I saw at Rook's Rest...

362
00:34:40,038 --> 00:34:43,333
What? What did you see?

363
00:34:47,504 --> 00:34:49,506
Their armor melted.

364
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:53,885
There were men walking. They were on fire.

365
00:34:57,305 --> 00:34:59,516
We have given the war to the dragons.

366
00:35:01,101 --> 00:35:02,644
A dragonrider should lead us.

367
00:35:07,107 --> 00:35:11,903
And what of justice, of temperance?
Or is strength now to be our only god?

368
00:35:17,909 --> 00:35:19,911
So you cast me aside.

369
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,081
Have I not spared you?

370
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,628
What we must do now is terrible.

371
00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:32,590
Will you preside over it?

372
00:35:33,216 --> 00:35:36,136
- Is this who you are, Alicent?
- I did not ask to be spared.

373
00:35:40,306 --> 00:35:42,308
And I did not give you leave
to speak my name.

374
00:35:55,697 --> 00:35:56,781
Halt!

375
00:36:02,787 --> 00:36:03,913
Stay back!

376
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:07,417
We've got to get out!

377
00:36:08,293 --> 00:36:09,794
Somebody get him!

378
00:36:10,545 --> 00:36:12,629
Stay back! No!

379
00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:15,050
Holdfast, holdfast!

380
00:36:15,508 --> 00:36:17,344
Stay back! Hold!

381
00:36:22,474 --> 00:36:23,474
Back!

382
00:36:24,351 --> 00:36:27,187
Disperse, disperse!

383
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,814
By order of Aemond Targaryen,

384
00:36:30,815 --> 00:36:33,692
Prince Regent
and Protector of the Realm...

385
00:36:33,693 --> 00:36:36,195
- Aemond?
- Does he mean the king?

386
00:36:36,196 --> 00:36:38,572
- I don't know.
- You cannot keep us here!

387
00:36:38,573 --> 00:36:41,533
- You are ordered to return to your homes!
- We want meat!

388
00:36:41,534 --> 00:36:43,119
- Meat!
- Meat!

389
00:36:53,421 --> 00:36:54,839
Stay back!

390
00:37:02,847 --> 00:37:06,059
Our Lord Grover Tully
has not declared for Rhaenyra.

391
00:37:07,268 --> 00:37:09,353
It means death to bare steel
against your liege,

392
00:37:09,354 --> 00:37:11,648
as I'm sure my prince is aware.

393
00:37:13,191 --> 00:37:15,151
And against your queen?

394
00:37:23,827 --> 00:37:26,162
Jason Lannister is marshaling to the west.

395
00:37:27,205 --> 00:37:29,207
We need to check him
before he reaches Riverrun.

396
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:32,126
That requires passage.

397
00:37:32,127 --> 00:37:36,380
And if Stark's army is too slow?
The wind's rising.

398
00:37:36,381 --> 00:37:38,048
Winter is nigh upon us.

399
00:37:38,049 --> 00:37:41,802
Our hesitance does not lie
in Rhaenyra as Queen,

400
00:37:41,803 --> 00:37:45,306
nor in the ruminations
of Lord Tully, the oaf.

401
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:49,018
Our fear lies in Vhagar.

402
00:37:49,019 --> 00:37:54,691
You fear a dragon leagues away
when mine own sits outside your walls?

403
00:37:59,029 --> 00:38:02,282
- Do you offer us your protection?
- I do.

404
00:38:08,997 --> 00:38:10,915
And the protection of my uncle.

405
00:38:12,208 --> 00:38:16,378
And Daemon, I'm sure,
has consented to this?

406
00:38:16,379 --> 00:38:18,464
He will do as his queen commands.

407
00:38:18,465 --> 00:38:20,424
That does lend us some comfort.

408
00:38:20,425 --> 00:38:23,594
Though it occurs to me that dragons
cannot be in two places at once.

409
00:38:23,595 --> 00:38:25,221
Or three.

410
00:38:28,183 --> 00:38:29,934
What do you want?

411
00:38:32,312 --> 00:38:36,231
Larys Strong has been
relieved of his castle.

412
00:38:36,232 --> 00:38:39,277
Does the queen intend
to raise up a new lord?

413
00:38:43,823 --> 00:38:45,158
You want Harrenhal.

414
00:39:04,177 --> 00:39:08,014
For that, my mother will want
more than your crossing.

415
00:39:10,892 --> 00:39:12,894
What does Her Grace desire?

416
00:39:15,522 --> 00:39:17,732
Bent knees.

417
00:40:11,578 --> 00:40:12,787
Up.

418
00:40:13,997 --> 00:40:17,834
You were born to wield a sword,
but not so much an axe, perhaps.

419
00:40:19,461 --> 00:40:21,211
There are others who would sit idle

420
00:40:21,212 --> 00:40:23,255
and wait for their claims
to be brought to them.

421
00:40:23,256 --> 00:40:24,298
That is not my way.

422
00:40:24,299 --> 00:40:26,592
Does splitting firewood justify
what's followed you here?

423
00:40:26,593 --> 00:40:31,013
Let it not be said that Daemon Targaryen
failed to dirty his hands in this war.

424
00:40:31,014 --> 00:40:32,932
Let me see them.

425
00:40:34,434 --> 00:40:35,434
Sit.

426
00:40:36,102 --> 00:40:37,312
Sit!

427
00:40:42,192 --> 00:40:47,322
I hear strange things from Bracken land,
from Stone Hedge and Lambswold and Mory.

428
00:40:48,406 --> 00:40:50,449
There's news, then?

429
00:40:50,450 --> 00:40:51,618
News?

430
00:40:52,911 --> 00:40:53,912
No.

431
00:40:56,081 --> 00:40:58,792
What I hear, I hear in the wind.

432
00:41:00,043 --> 00:41:01,878
Cries of anguish.

433
00:41:03,838 --> 00:41:05,881
Children being taken from their mothers,

434
00:41:05,882 --> 00:41:09,802
men coming home
to find their doors unlatched,

435
00:41:09,803 --> 00:41:12,055
their wives carried away.

436
00:41:14,265 --> 00:41:16,476
War is a terrible thing.

437
00:41:17,018 --> 00:41:18,853
This is not war.

438
00:41:19,646 --> 00:41:24,483
These are crimes against the innocent,
that any upright man would repudiate.

439
00:41:24,484 --> 00:41:27,028
Surely you haven't mistaken me
for an upright man.

440
00:41:29,155 --> 00:41:31,908
The Brackens had their chance
to do as I required.

441
00:41:32,826 --> 00:41:34,785
They will perhaps think better
of their decision

442
00:41:34,786 --> 00:41:38,123
if their children's lives
are staked on it.

443
00:41:39,416 --> 00:41:41,835
Is that the kind of army you would raise?

444
00:41:42,836 --> 00:41:44,838
Men who hate you,

445
00:41:45,547 --> 00:41:47,256
who serve you under duress?

446
00:41:47,257 --> 00:41:50,342
Well, once they agree to serve me,
I'll treat them fairly.

447
00:41:50,343 --> 00:41:53,762
Set an example for the rest
of the Riverlands to follow.

448
00:41:53,763 --> 00:41:56,223
And once again, in the name of power,

449
00:41:56,224 --> 00:41:59,060
it's the weak and the women
who must endure.

450
00:42:01,938 --> 00:42:04,774
That fool, Aegon, is unlike to survive.

451
00:42:06,901 --> 00:42:09,112
The realm will suffer
if Aemond One-Eye rules.

452
00:42:10,739 --> 00:42:12,198
You should pray you never meet him.

453
00:42:12,907 --> 00:42:15,200
He will cut you down
soon as wish you good-day.

454
00:42:15,201 --> 00:42:17,911
I'd heard the same thing about you.
But I'll cross you no further.

455
00:42:17,912 --> 00:42:21,249
I'm sure your tactics are, after all,
approved by the queen.

456
00:42:26,838 --> 00:42:28,673
She cannot succeed, Alys.

457
00:42:29,716 --> 00:42:31,884
Even if I willed it to be so.

458
00:42:31,885 --> 00:42:34,011
The people who support her
will not be led by her.

459
00:42:34,012 --> 00:42:36,138
They look to a man for strength.

460
00:42:36,139 --> 00:42:39,725
Who's better suited to it?
The Hightowers with their scheming?

461
00:42:39,726 --> 00:42:42,020
Or Viserys's first true heir?

462
00:42:43,188 --> 00:42:45,564
When I take King's Landing,

463
00:42:45,565 --> 00:42:49,610
Rhaenyra is welcome to join me there
and take her place by my side.

464
00:42:49,611 --> 00:42:53,698
King and queen, ruling together.

465
00:42:54,324 --> 00:42:56,992
- And if you lose?
- Then I'll be dead,

466
00:42:56,993 --> 00:42:59,328
and none of this will be my problem.

467
00:42:59,329 --> 00:43:02,582
It's a pity, don't you think,
that you never knew your mother?

468
00:43:06,252 --> 00:43:08,338
A message, Your Grace.

469
00:43:13,718 --> 00:43:16,303
Fresh news from Stone Hedge.

470
00:43:16,304 --> 00:43:18,597
The Blackwoods have overwhelmed
the Brackens

471
00:43:18,598 --> 00:43:21,935
and Lord Amos has pledged
his banner to you.

472
00:43:22,435 --> 00:43:24,646
House Bracken is yours.

473
00:43:26,064 --> 00:43:28,650
Call Ser Willem here
so that I might congratulate him.

474
00:43:29,150 --> 00:43:31,778
The Blackwoods will be
feted in these halls.

475
00:43:43,206 --> 00:43:45,208
I sought you at High Tide.

476
00:43:45,959 --> 00:43:48,253
I was surprised when they said
you were here.

477
00:43:49,379 --> 00:43:51,381
My castle is a tomb.

478
00:43:52,716 --> 00:43:54,926
Empty. Haunted.

479
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,680
I am sad to have missed its highest days.

480
00:43:59,681 --> 00:44:03,392
I imagine your Hall of Nine
filled with lords and kings,

481
00:44:03,393 --> 00:44:06,521
all eager to treat with the legendary
Lord of the Tides.

482
00:44:08,398 --> 00:44:11,066
The wealth you brought back
from Yi Ti and Asshai,

483
00:44:11,067 --> 00:44:14,070
inspiring awe and envy.

484
00:44:16,531 --> 00:44:18,533
I wonder if any of them knew
it was all for her.

485
00:44:27,667 --> 00:44:29,961
Queen Rhaenyra wishes to name you Hand.

486
00:44:33,381 --> 00:44:36,801
Even the death of my wife
does not content her.

487
00:44:39,554 --> 00:44:41,765
Has she not asked enough of my house?

488
00:44:42,265 --> 00:44:44,893
It is a sign of her great esteem.

489
00:44:46,019 --> 00:44:49,272
Or does she think the position
will compensate me for my loss?

490
00:44:50,523 --> 00:44:52,203
Pledge your peace to King's Landing, then.

491
00:44:52,859 --> 00:44:55,153
They will accept it most gleefully.

492
00:44:57,781 --> 00:45:00,408
Rather I would sail
into the West and be lost.

493
00:45:01,576 --> 00:45:03,577
You have done so before,

494
00:45:03,578 --> 00:45:06,373
at great cost to yourself
and those who loved you.

495
00:45:08,917 --> 00:45:14,631
Rhaenys was not only your wife,
not a thing to be taken from you.

496
00:45:15,465 --> 00:45:18,093
She was a Targaryen princess.

497
00:45:18,843 --> 00:45:20,302
The Queen Who Never Was.

498
00:45:20,303 --> 00:45:22,846
And she flew to Rook's Rest
of her own will.

499
00:45:22,847 --> 00:45:25,307
- In defense of her kin.
- And she died.

500
00:45:25,308 --> 00:45:27,435
She died as she would have
wished to die,

501
00:45:28,103 --> 00:45:31,106
with honor, in dragonfire.

502
00:45:31,690 --> 00:45:33,024
The way my mother chose

503
00:45:35,318 --> 00:45:38,154
and the way I myself wish to meet my end.

504
00:45:45,328 --> 00:45:50,792
I grieve my grandmother who loved me
but I carry her on with me.

505
00:45:52,085 --> 00:45:56,297
I will see Rhaenyra ascend
the Iron Throne, as Rhaenys wished.

506
00:45:56,923 --> 00:45:58,925
As Rhaenys herself should have.

507
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:04,347
You yourself may do as you see fit.

508
00:46:07,934 --> 00:46:09,519
Granddaughter.

509
00:46:17,027 --> 00:46:20,113
I would make you my heir.

510
00:46:21,698 --> 00:46:23,700
I am blood and fire.

511
00:46:24,284 --> 00:46:27,287
Driftmark must pass to salt and sea.

512
00:46:46,056 --> 00:46:47,265
Your Grace.

513
00:46:50,935 --> 00:46:52,270
You were correct

514
00:46:53,897 --> 00:46:56,524
in saying our best hope of an army
is with Daemon.

515
00:46:59,194 --> 00:47:04,616
And I have, perhaps,
erred in waiting for him to prove himself.

516
00:47:06,659 --> 00:47:08,661
I wish you to go to Harrenhal.

517
00:47:10,413 --> 00:47:12,832
Are you removing me from your council?

518
00:47:14,376 --> 00:47:15,794
Ser Alfred,

519
00:47:16,753 --> 00:47:20,255
I will not deny you have tried
my patience of late,

520
00:47:20,256 --> 00:47:24,093
or that I would prefer a council
more inclined to champion their queen

521
00:47:24,094 --> 00:47:25,637
but...

522
00:47:26,888 --> 00:47:30,182
you and your house served my father well

523
00:47:30,183 --> 00:47:33,311
and I know you will never
accept the Hightower claim.

524
00:47:34,938 --> 00:47:37,565
Not while I live, Your Grace.

525
00:47:40,402 --> 00:47:44,238
We cannot challenge King's Landing
without the Riverlands

526
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,951
but I will not send a message by raven
for Daemon to disregard.

527
00:47:50,328 --> 00:47:55,166
I ask you to reason with him.

528
00:47:56,459 --> 00:48:00,755
Find out his state of mind
and his intentions.

529
00:48:02,966 --> 00:48:04,384
Intentions?

530
00:48:05,552 --> 00:48:08,972
Whether he means to raise a host for me
or for himself.

531
00:48:12,017 --> 00:48:13,351
He would not dare.

532
00:48:13,977 --> 00:48:16,104
Have you known Daemon to lack in daring?

533
00:48:17,689 --> 00:48:22,110
Go now with haste.
I'll send good men to see to your safety.

534
00:48:29,701 --> 00:48:32,328
Have you any message for him?

535
00:48:36,291 --> 00:48:39,502
Tell him I would much like to finish
our last conversation.

536
00:48:42,005 --> 00:48:43,214
Your Grace.

537
00:49:19,584 --> 00:49:21,002
Your Grace.

538
00:49:24,798 --> 00:49:29,010
What is it, Ser Simon?
Is the pudding now served?

539
00:49:29,678 --> 00:49:32,054
The Riverlords have come, Your Grace.

540
00:49:32,055 --> 00:49:34,974
- They wish an audience.
- Now?

541
00:49:35,558 --> 00:49:37,977
- What godless hour is it?
- The wolf.

542
00:49:38,728 --> 00:49:40,563
They are demanding to speak presently.

543
00:50:11,594 --> 00:50:14,888
I see I must begin here
with a lesson in etiquette.

544
00:50:14,889 --> 00:50:18,226
Or failing that, in proper fear
of your Targaryen master.

545
00:50:20,020 --> 00:50:24,232
Is there some reason you feel free
to wake a king in his bed?

546
00:50:25,108 --> 00:50:27,568
Or shall I now begin your education?

547
00:50:27,569 --> 00:50:32,948
House Bracken have been brought to heel
at the hands of Willem Blackwood.

548
00:50:32,949 --> 00:50:36,243
- That news is stale.
- Yes.

549
00:50:36,244 --> 00:50:38,203
There have been complications.

550
00:50:38,204 --> 00:50:42,416
The sacred septs on Bracken lands
were looted and burned.

551
00:50:42,417 --> 00:50:44,126
As were the fields and farms.

552
00:50:44,127 --> 00:50:47,588
The livestock was stolen
and our peasants put to the sword.

553
00:50:47,589 --> 00:50:49,882
They pursued the women and the children.

554
00:50:49,883 --> 00:50:51,425
There were works of barbarity.

555
00:50:51,426 --> 00:50:55,387
Punishing Bracken for his own treasons
is one thing, aye.

556
00:50:55,388 --> 00:50:58,140
- But these other acts.
- The Brackens were given their chance.

557
00:50:58,141 --> 00:51:00,601
- They would not see reason.
- The Blackwoods have exploited

558
00:51:00,602 --> 00:51:02,644
the war for the crown to visit atrocities

559
00:51:02,645 --> 00:51:04,313
- upon their old rivals.
- I have seen my fair share of

560
00:51:04,314 --> 00:51:06,565
their quarrels, and I tell you,
there is no honor in a fight

561
00:51:06,566 --> 00:51:08,609
- such as this.
- Honor? What of common decency?

562
00:51:08,610 --> 00:51:12,738
These beasts proudly carried
the banner of House Targaryen.

563
00:51:12,739 --> 00:51:14,699
Red dragon on black.

564
00:51:21,289 --> 00:51:24,501
A terrible war
is being fought in these lands.

565
00:51:28,004 --> 00:51:30,006
Have you looked after our girls?

566
00:51:37,555 --> 00:51:39,556
We should've expected
nothing more from a man

567
00:51:39,557 --> 00:51:43,144
who ordered the slaughter of a child
in his mother's arms.

568
00:51:45,397 --> 00:51:48,607
That is a lie. And I will have the man
who told it brought before me.

569
00:51:48,608 --> 00:51:53,321
Well, your man is half the kingdom,
my prince.

570
00:51:56,282 --> 00:51:58,284
Know this, interloper:

571
00:51:58,993 --> 00:52:01,787
the Riverlands are an ancient place,

572
00:52:01,788 --> 00:52:05,291
watched closely by the eyes
of old gods and new.

573
00:52:05,792 --> 00:52:07,626
And dragon or no,

574
00:52:07,627 --> 00:52:10,922
we shall not raise
our banners for a tyrant.

575
00:53:18,948 --> 00:53:22,786
- Move along, lass.
- I have an errand for the lady Mysaria.

576
00:53:24,037 --> 00:53:25,246
I thought she was dead.

577
00:53:26,164 --> 00:53:28,375
Would she die without collecting her due?

578
00:53:30,043 --> 00:53:31,878
I must see an old friend.

579
00:53:33,630 --> 00:53:35,632
Most people want out these days.

580
00:54:20,927 --> 00:54:21,927
Elinda.

581
00:55:13,772 --> 00:55:15,774
Was it worth the price?

582
00:56:06,825 --> 00:56:08,451
{\an8}Mummy.

583
00:56:25,635 --> 00:56:27,053
Prince Jacaerys, Your Grace.

584
00:56:51,828 --> 00:56:53,246
Visenya.

585
00:56:54,247 --> 00:56:59,085
Vhagar's first rider,
and the first wielder of Dark Sister.

586
00:57:01,463 --> 00:57:03,756
I hope you do not mean to use her
as an example.

587
00:57:03,757 --> 00:57:05,424
Why shouldn't I?

588
00:57:05,425 --> 00:57:07,677
It was a long time ago.

589
00:57:17,979 --> 00:57:20,190
What is the mood at the Twins?

590
00:57:21,816 --> 00:57:24,027
Did his lordship quibble?

591
00:57:26,529 --> 00:57:30,158
He wishes for the Freys
to be granted Harrenhal.

592
00:57:31,659 --> 00:57:33,870
At war's end. Assuming.

593
00:57:36,664 --> 00:57:40,669
I'm proud of you, Jace.
You have done our cause a great service.

594
00:57:43,171 --> 00:57:45,924
Then, why do you look angry?

595
00:57:54,349 --> 00:57:57,267
You chafed at being prevented from action.

596
00:57:57,268 --> 00:58:02,899
Imagine my lot. I'm a dragonrider as well,
with a war being fought over my ascension.

597
00:58:04,109 --> 00:58:06,111
And yet, I must wait here,

598
00:58:07,070 --> 00:58:08,905
always prudent,

599
00:58:09,531 --> 00:58:13,201
sending others to fight
and be felled in my name.

600
00:58:13,743 --> 00:58:15,954
Even you have managed to do your part.

601
00:58:16,621 --> 00:58:18,248
You are the queen,

602
00:58:18,790 --> 00:58:20,082
the tie that binds us.

603
00:58:20,083 --> 00:58:21,750
- No harm can come to you.
- And you are my son,

604
00:58:21,751 --> 00:58:23,837
and I did not give you leave to go.

605
00:58:25,964 --> 00:58:28,591
You do not give me
leave to go to anything.

606
00:58:29,009 --> 00:58:32,136
But who else is there? Rhaenys is dead,
and Baela cannot bear the burden alone.

607
00:58:32,137 --> 00:58:34,264
And when Aemond comes hunting for you?

608
00:58:34,889 --> 00:58:37,141
Your dragon is young.

609
00:58:37,142 --> 00:58:39,227
Will you fly before Vhagar as Luke did?

610
00:58:46,192 --> 00:58:48,028
Perhaps Daemon could...

611
00:58:51,531 --> 00:58:53,366
Daemon is not here.

612
00:58:54,242 --> 00:58:56,453
And Aemond now rules in King's Landing.

613
00:58:58,038 --> 00:58:59,371
Is Aegon dead?

614
00:58:59,372 --> 00:59:02,082
Dead or alive,
we have no answer for Vhagar.

615
00:59:02,083 --> 00:59:05,378
Aemond will not wait long
to press his advantage. And then what?

616
00:59:07,881 --> 00:59:11,718
I have done all I can from here,
sent my messages, invoked my alliances.

617
00:59:12,677 --> 00:59:14,846
But if all else fails,
it is I who must fight.

618
00:59:16,765 --> 00:59:19,725
Vhagar is big, but Syrax is quicker.

619
00:59:19,726 --> 00:59:20,893
So was Meleys.

620
00:59:20,894 --> 00:59:24,230
Meleys fought two dragons
and one of them is slain.

621
00:59:26,149 --> 00:59:27,232
Shall I fight for my birthright?

622
00:59:27,233 --> 00:59:29,944
Or shall I wait here
until we are all destroyed?

623
00:59:35,784 --> 00:59:37,702
I need dragons.

624
00:59:41,206 --> 00:59:44,125
We have no dearth of dragons.

625
00:59:45,001 --> 00:59:48,003
We have two large enough
to stand against Vhagar.

626
00:59:48,004 --> 00:59:52,841
They are called Vermithor and Silverwing
and they sleep just beneath our feet.

627
00:59:52,842 --> 00:59:56,179
Yes, and if only they had riders,
none could stand against me.

628
00:59:56,930 --> 01:00:00,141
I would go forth in strength
and not from necessity.

629
01:00:01,518 --> 01:00:02,894
There is Rhaena.

630
01:00:03,603 --> 01:00:05,980
Who nearly lost
her life in her last attempt.

631
01:00:07,482 --> 01:00:09,484
I would not risk it again.

632
01:00:15,407 --> 01:00:18,410
There are those of our line
who never ruled.

633
01:00:19,285 --> 01:00:25,582
Those who married into other noble houses,
their children born with other names.

634
01:00:25,583 --> 01:00:29,169
A generation ago, or more.
Their blood would be thin.

635
01:00:29,170 --> 01:00:30,672
And yet...

636
01:00:32,048 --> 01:00:36,176
A dragon will only accept
a dragonlord to ride it.

637
01:00:36,177 --> 01:00:40,222
- Or so say the histories.
- Valyrian histories.

638
01:00:40,223 --> 01:00:42,142
Written to gild us in glory.

639
01:00:45,145 --> 01:00:47,772
Are you suggesting we put
a Mallister on a dragon?

640
01:00:48,356 --> 01:00:51,776
- A Tarly?
- It's better than death and defeat.

641
01:00:57,782 --> 01:01:01,243
There are records here,
surely, of our line

642
01:01:01,244 --> 01:01:03,496
and of those who fell out of it.

643
01:01:11,004 --> 01:01:12,630
There could be scores of them.

644
01:01:20,305 --> 01:01:22,140
It's a mad thought.
