00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,259
persuading.
184
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:11,846
They are unyielding in battle.
185
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:16,768
(wind blowing)
186
00:16:18,770 --> 00:16:20,814
But every man has a weakness.
187
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:23,942
You take my meaning, then.
188
00:16:27,612 --> 00:16:31,533
There are things
the crown itself must not been seen to do.
189
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:34,743
Show them your worst.
190
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:36,955
I am your servant, Your Grace.
191
00:16:36,956 --> 00:16:39,958
(tense music playing)
192
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:48,633
(music intensifies)
193
00:16:58,309 --> 00:17:01,938
Jeyne Arryn: Over the centuries,
many and more armies
194
00:17:01,939 --> 00:17:04,983
have broken themselves
against my bloody gate.
195
00:17:07,068 --> 00:17:09,111
(music fades out)
196
00:17:09,112 --> 00:17:11,156
Are you listening?
197
00:17:12,157 --> 00:17:13,991
My lady.
198
00:17:13,992 --> 00:17:16,661
The Eyrie itself is impregnable.
199
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,334
Unless, of course,
we're descended upon from the sky.
200
00:17:22,335 --> 00:17:25,045
You promised
the Queen Rhaenyra 15,000 swords...
201
00:17:25,046 --> 00:17:28,089
In return for protection.
A dragon.
202
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:32,552
Then she has exceeded
your terms.
203
00:17:32,553 --> 00:17:34,511
She sent two.
204
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:37,015
Both still wet from the egg.
205
00:17:37,016 --> 00:17:38,016
(scoffs)
206
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:41,186
I have hunting hounds
that are more fearsome.
207
00:17:41,187 --> 00:17:43,521
They are dragons nonetheless.
208
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:45,481
I do not recall you specifying
209
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:47,192
the size of the beast
in your request.
210
00:17:47,193 --> 00:17:49,027
Will you goad me, child?
211
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:52,530
When your bread and shelter
now depend on my pleasure?
212
00:17:54,282 --> 00:17:56,117
The dragons will grow...
213
00:17:57,369 --> 00:17:59,371
- in time.
- I don't have time.
214
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,416
I mislike feeling powerless.
215
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:06,294
So do I.
216
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:14,927
This will be your chamber.
217
00:18:14,928 --> 00:18:16,888
I'll expect you
at supper this evening?
218
00:18:20,058 --> 00:18:24,062
My sympathies for the death
of your grandmother.
219
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:28,566
(wind blowing)
220
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:35,364
The way they spoke
at my small council today.
221
00:18:35,365 --> 00:18:38,702
Mysaria: Do they hold you responsible
for Rhaenys and her dragon?
222
00:18:38,703 --> 00:18:40,412
I would rather they had.
223
00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:43,185
They speak around me, not to me.
224
00:18:43,186 --> 00:18:45,416
(sighs)
They would make me queen,
225
00:18:45,417 --> 00:18:47,752
but they wish
to keep me here, confined.
226
00:18:47,753 --> 00:18:50,004
They betray their own smallness.
227
00:18:50,005 --> 00:18:52,256
In truth, I cannot fault them.
228
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:55,301
I am now the sovereign.
I cannot do as I please.
229
00:18:56,428 --> 00:18:59,513
And war has ever been
for men to make.
230
00:18:59,514 --> 00:19:02,600
You are your father's
chosen successor.
231
00:19:02,601 --> 00:19:04,936
He did not prepare me to fight.
232
00:19:04,937 --> 00:19:07,104
If I had been a son,
233
00:19:07,105 --> 00:19:10,525
a sword thrust into my hand
the moment I could walk.
234
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:13,278
Instead, I was given
my father's cup...
235
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:16,489
taught the name
of every lord and castle
236
00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:18,240
between Storm's End
and the Twins,
237
00:19:18,241 --> 00:19:21,119
but not the difference
between hilt and foible.
238
00:19:22,037 --> 00:19:23,663
And they know it.
239
00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:28,752
- And Daemon as well...
- Shall your evening meal be served here, Your Grace?
240
00:19:28,753 --> 00:19:30,378
(sharply)
Not now.
241
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:34,507
(distant dragons grumbling)
242
00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:38,053
Will you send to him?
243
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:42,349
For too long,
I have looked to him for strength.
244
00:19:42,350 --> 00:19:44,517
If I must be supplicant
to my own husband,
245
00:19:44,518 --> 00:19:46,186
what does that make me?
246
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:52,859
I do not know my part, Mysaria.
247
00:19:55,904 --> 00:19:58,531
The path I walk
has never been trod.
248
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:03,328
Criston Cole made a mistake.
249
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:09,209
Parading a dragon's head
through the streets like a prize of war,
250
00:20:09,210 --> 00:20:11,294
but the people see an ill omen.
251
00:20:11,295 --> 00:20:12,878
(scoffs)
Yes, as do I.
252
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:16,049
They are afraid,
bread is scarce,
253
00:20:16,050 --> 00:20:17,675
the king has fallen,
254
00:20:17,676 --> 00:20:20,178
they whisper to each other
that when Viserys lived,
255
00:20:20,179 --> 00:20:22,471
- there was peace.
- (sighs)
256
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:25,183
But will whispers
tear down stone...
257
00:20:25,184 --> 00:20:26,809
or break shields?
258
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:30,188
Do not underestimate
your subjects.
259
00:20:30,189 --> 00:20:31,980
They are a thousand-thousand
260
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:33,650
living in the shadow
of the Red Keep
261
00:20:33,651 --> 00:20:36,860
and forgotten for too long.
262
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:40,155
And you think they
will turn to me.
263
00:20:40,156 --> 00:20:43,451
To the discontented,
rumors are feed.
264
00:20:44,411 --> 00:20:47,622
(light, tense music playing)
265
00:20:48,123 --> 00:20:49,749
Your Grace.
266
00:20:52,210 --> 00:20:56,381
What you cannot do,
let others do for you.
267
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:01,052
There is more than one way
to fight a war.
268
00:21:01,053 --> 00:21:03,054
(music intensifies)
269
00:21:14,315 --> 00:21:16,317
♪
270
00:21:21,072 --> 00:21:23,282
(music fades out)
271
00:21:23,283 --> 00:21:25,910
Baela: The thought of her
lying in a field,
272
00:21:25,911 --> 00:21:28,496
broken amongst her enemies.
273
00:21:39,174 --> 00:21:43,178
Did your grandmother ever tell you
of the night she claimed Meleys?
274
00:21:44,179 --> 00:21:46,222
She snuck into the Dragonpit.
275
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:49,392
She knew that place
better than any Elder.
276
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:51,936
They say she could
see in the dark.
277
00:21:53,605 --> 00:21:55,544
My father was furious.
278
00:21:55,545 --> 00:21:57,483
His own mother's dragon,
279
00:21:57,484 --> 00:21:59,068
the fastest beast ever known,
280
00:21:59,069 --> 00:22:00,987
- and she'd have none of him.
- (Rhaenyra chuckles)
281
00:22:00,988 --> 00:22:03,281
But bent her neck to Rhaenys.
282
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:06,326
She was fierce...
283
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,662
in love and in anger.
284
00:22:12,374 --> 00:22:16,002
She did not always
care for me, but...
285
00:22:17,796 --> 00:22:21,800
for what she gave me in the end,
I'm grateful.
286
00:22:27,806 --> 00:22:30,642
I wished I had known her
when she was young.
287
00:22:36,564 --> 00:22:40,568
- (chuckles) You are very like her in some ways.
- (Baela chuckles)
288
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:48,159
And with her gone...
I must rely on you, I think.
289
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,828
Your Grace?
(sniffles)
290
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:53,415
Would you give this
to your grandsire?
291
00:23:05,176 --> 00:23:07,554
I do not wish to stand alone.
292
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:11,473
(eerie rumbling)
293
00:23:11,474 --> 00:23:13,101
female voice:
Daemon.
294
00:23:17,856 --> 00:23:20,149
Daemon.
295
00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:22,777
You were always the strong one.
296
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:27,407
The finest swordsman...
297
00:23:30,201 --> 00:23:32,871
the fearless dragonrider.
298
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,959
{\an8}Your brother had great
love in his heart...
299
00:23:38,585 --> 00:23:40,628
(heavy breathing)
300
00:23:42,714 --> 00:23:44,966
...but he lacked
your constitution.
301
00:23:46,051 --> 00:23:48,553
Viserys was unsuited
for the crown...
302
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:55,727
but you... Daemon,
you were made to wear it.
303
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:06,071
(heavy breathing)
304
00:24:16,081 --> 00:24:19,084
If only you'd been born first.
305
00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:22,671
My favorite son.
306
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:32,347
(echoing) Is the duck not to your liking,
Your Grace?
307
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,772
(normal) There's also goose,
if you'd prefer it.
308
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:44,692
I like the goose, myself.
309
00:24:44,693 --> 00:24:46,778
(dinnerware clattering)
310
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:50,115
(Alys pouring wine)
311
00:24:52,784 --> 00:24:54,451
Uh, I'm not hungry.
312
00:24:54,452 --> 00:24:56,621
Simon Strong: I was saying,
given the rather dire news
313
00:24:56,622 --> 00:24:58,456
from Rook's Rest...
314
00:24:59,457 --> 00:25:03,503
it appears the winds have shifted
and each side has suffered great loss,
315
00:25:03,504 --> 00:25:06,798
and will be unsure
of what is to follow.
316
00:25:08,174 --> 00:25:10,385
A good time, then,
for a show of strength.
317
00:25:11,136 --> 00:25:12,344
I believe Willem Blackwood
318
00:25:12,345 --> 00:25:14,639
is bringing
House Bracken to heel.
319
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:19,394
We must ready the castle
to receive a great host.
320
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:23,605
You seem sure of this.
321
00:25:23,606 --> 00:25:26,317
All men may be led, Ser Simon.
322
00:25:26,318 --> 00:25:28,028
Even Rivermen.
323
00:25:29,154 --> 00:25:32,907
'Tis a matter of showing them
whom it behooves them to follow.
324
00:25:34,367 --> 00:25:36,578
How does the work here progress?
325
00:25:36,911 --> 00:25:40,707
Oh, um... we're drawing water
for the kitchens
326
00:25:40,708 --> 00:25:43,209
- and lighting the forges.
- Very well.
327
00:25:43,210 --> 00:25:45,712
That is merely the beginning,
of course.
328
00:25:45,713 --> 00:25:47,505
The roof alone
has needed tending
329
00:25:47,506 --> 00:25:48,506
since the reign of Aenys.
330
00:25:48,507 --> 00:25:49,841
And the storerooms.
331
00:25:49,842 --> 00:25:51,009
And...
332
00:25:51,926 --> 00:25:54,346
and the Wailing Tower.
(chuckles)
333
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:57,474
The bats have
made the corridors almost impassable
334
00:25:57,475 --> 00:25:59,517
with the quantity of their...
335
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,020
Their shit.
336
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:06,607
{\an8}I venture there are
smiths and armorers
337
00:26:06,608 --> 00:26:08,734
{\an8}to be found near Nutton
and Riverbend.
338
00:26:08,735 --> 00:26:10,862
{\an8}Well, send for them,
and levy the farmers
339
00:26:10,863 --> 00:26:12,906
from Antlers to High Heart.
340
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:15,909
Task their huntsmen
to bring us meat and wood.
341
00:26:17,118 --> 00:26:19,746
Um, there is, of course,
the matter of payment.
342
00:26:19,747 --> 00:26:21,580
(clattering stops)
343
00:26:21,581 --> 00:26:26,044
After the,
the tragedy that befell his father...
344
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:30,965
Larys transferred his family's wealth
to King's Landing.
345
00:26:32,217 --> 00:26:34,760
Is there any gold
left in your coffers?
346
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:39,224
Enough to keep this small establishment
you see fed and warm.
347
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:41,601
Relatively.
348
00:26:44,312 --> 00:26:47,691
I... I rather thought,
Your Grace, as
349
00:26:47,692 --> 00:26:51,110
emissary to the Queen
350
00:26:51,111 --> 00:26:55,031
that p-perhaps she could provide
the necessary coin
351
00:26:55,032 --> 00:26:57,659
- if you could only write to her.
- No.
352
00:26:58,576 --> 00:27:00,578
Harrenhal is my command.
353
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:03,790
I shall guarantee
the payment myself.
354
00:27:04,916 --> 00:27:06,584
(mouths)
Up, up.
355
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:11,589
Very well, Your Grace.
356
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:15,427
You should
address me as "my king."
357
00:27:15,428 --> 00:27:17,303
But you're the prince.
358
00:27:17,762 --> 00:27:19,680
What would you call
the husband of the queen?
359
00:27:19,681 --> 00:27:21,599
- Well, the king...
- Daemon: There it is, then.
360
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,101
...consort.
361
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:26,938
That last bit seems unnecessary,
don't you think?
362
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:30,942
(sighing)
363
00:27:32,944 --> 00:27:35,112
Orwyle:
The armor was Valyrian steel,
364
00:27:35,113 --> 00:27:39,117
but His Grace suffered
grievous burns over much of his body.
365
00:27:40,243 --> 00:27:42,161
He has many broken bones.
366
00:27:42,162 --> 00:27:45,498
I fear there are
more injuries within,
367
00:27:45,499 --> 00:27:47,500
injuries we cannot see.
368
00:27:49,127 --> 00:27:51,338
(inhales) We are grateful
for your works,
369
00:27:51,339 --> 00:27:52,380
Grand Maester.
370
00:27:53,548 --> 00:27:55,967
- Has he woken?
- No.
371
00:27:57,635 --> 00:28:01,638
I must admit,
I'm not sure he will ever wake.
372
00:28:01,639 --> 00:28:05,643
I have plied my crafts
to their fullest extents.
373
00:28:05,644 --> 00:28:09,647
Our king's fate
lies with the gods now.
374
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:22,369
A king cannot rule in his sleep.
375
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:25,663
The realm will have
noticed his absence.
376
00:28:26,373 --> 00:28:28,583
Let them hear of his great deeds
at Rook's Rest.
377
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:32,837
But now we must name a regent
to take his place
378
00:28:32,838 --> 00:28:34,506
until he recovers...
379
00:28:36,883 --> 00:28:38,093
or does not.
380
00:28:39,761 --> 00:28:41,804
A wise strategy, Your Grace.
381
00:28:41,805 --> 00:28:44,035
A regency will assure the people
382
00:28:44,036 --> 00:28:46,267
of the stability of the crown.
383
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:52,148
Did you have a candidate in mind,
Your Grace?
384
00:28:52,691 --> 00:28:54,484
I myself served in this role
for my husband.
385
00:28:54,485 --> 00:28:56,006
I am well-prepared
to do it again.
386
00:28:56,007 --> 00:28:57,580
You played your part admirably
387
00:28:57,581 --> 00:28:59,660
in a time of peace, Your Grace,
388
00:28:59,661 --> 00:29:01,740
but circumstances have changed.
389
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:03,742
(sarcastically)
And here I had forgotten.
390
00:29:03,743 --> 00:29:05,744
Ironrod: The king does not
lack for heirs.
391
00:29:05,745 --> 00:29:10,583
The obvious choice is his immediate successor,
Prince Aemond.
392
00:29:10,584 --> 00:29:12,043
Tyland Lannister:
Agreed.
393
00:29:12,044 --> 00:29:13,712
Aemond is young.
394
00:29:15,088 --> 00:29:17,716
And his lack of restraint
has already cost us dearly.
395
00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:31,271
Orwyle: It is experience that offers
the surest path to security.
396
00:29:31,272 --> 00:29:34,399
Queen Alicent ably shouldered
the duties of the realm
397
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,067
when her husband's
health failed him.
398
00:29:36,068 --> 00:29:37,443
Experience is valuable, yes,
399
00:29:37,444 --> 00:29:39,028
but the dowager queen
is a woman.
400
00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:42,115
I am no stranger to rule or to sitting
at this council.
401
00:29:42,116 --> 00:29:43,532
Aemond is
a fearsome dragonrider.
402
00:29:43,533 --> 00:29:45,034
His skill is best
employed in the field,
403
00:29:45,035 --> 00:29:47,787
but my experience is needed here,
at this table.
404
00:29:47,788 --> 00:29:50,247
No offense was meant,
Your Grace, but...
405
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:54,419
- at a time when we must show strength.
- Lord Larys?
406
00:29:55,587 --> 00:29:57,922
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.
407
00:30:00,091 --> 00:30:02,427
What would it say if,
in response to Rhaenyra's crowning,
408
00:30:02,428 --> 00:30:04,679
we raised up a woman of our own?
409
00:30:07,432 --> 00:30:08,808
But, um...
410
00:30:10,518 --> 00:30:12,437
but the Hand speaks
for the king's voice.
411
00:30:12,438 --> 00:30:14,481
Ser Criston, what say you?
412
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,698
Aemond is the next in line.
413
00:30:25,867 --> 00:30:27,285
It must be him.
414
00:30:31,956 --> 00:30:33,958
Aemond Targaryen:
It's agreed then.
415
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,691
What is our standing
in the Riverlands?
416
00:30:59,234 --> 00:31:01,861
Tyland:
Uh, the banners of House Tully
417
00:31:01,862 --> 00:31:03,654
are in disarray, Your Grace.
418
00:31:03,655 --> 00:31:05,447
Prince Daemon has little hope
419
00:31:05,448 --> 00:31:07,951
of fielding an army
of any size, for now.
420
00:31:07,952 --> 00:31:09,660
(voices fading)
421
00:31:09,661 --> 00:31:11,705
Larys Strong: We would do well to send
word to young Oscar Tully.
422
00:31:11,706 --> 00:31:13,623
- (Alicent breathing heavily)
- It's only a matter of time
423
00:31:13,624 --> 00:31:15,959
before he inherits
his grandsire's mantle.
424
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,002
Aemond:
Tell me, Lord Strong,
425
00:31:18,003 --> 00:31:19,608
how I can trust
the counsel of a man
426
00:31:19,609 --> 00:31:21,214
who leaves the jewel
of the Riverlands
427
00:31:21,215 --> 00:31:23,675
to be plucked by our enemy?
428
00:31:27,345 --> 00:31:28,805
Your brother's host
can meet Daemon.
429
00:31:28,806 --> 00:31:30,056
He should quicken its pace
430
00:31:30,057 --> 00:31:31,306
and check the Rivermen
431
00:31:31,307 --> 00:31:32,891
while their banners
are in disarray.
432
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:35,310
Tyland: I shall send
Lord Jason encouragement.
433
00:31:35,311 --> 00:31:38,023
- Aemond: What else?
- Orwyle: We might turn our attention
434
00:31:38,024 --> 00:31:40,524
to the smallfolk here
in King's Landing.
435
00:31:40,525 --> 00:31:43,028
They have grown weary
of the Sea Snake's blockade.
436
00:31:43,029 --> 00:31:45,195
Aemond:
So have we all.
437
00:31:45,196 --> 00:31:46,488
Orwyle:
Many are fleeing the city,
438
00:31:46,489 --> 00:31:49,701
spreading word
of their fear and unrest.
439
00:31:50,118 --> 00:31:53,163
Aemond: Mm, then let
the gates be closed.
440
00:31:53,164 --> 00:31:55,372
♪
441
00:31:55,373 --> 00:31:57,876
No one is to leave or enter,
save with our consent.
442
00:31:57,877 --> 00:32:00,754
Merchants, so forth.
443
00:32:02,547 --> 00:32:05,007
(heavy breathing)
444
00:32:05,008 --> 00:32:07,718
(clearly)
Go to your tasks.
445
00:32:07,719 --> 00:32:10,220
We shall meet again
at first light.
446
00:32:10,221 --> 00:32:14,059
Oh, and someone
cut down the fucking ratcatchers.
447
00:32:16,644 --> 00:32:18,062
(coughs)
448
00:32:18,063 --> 00:32:21,066
- (outside street chatter)
- (baby crying)
449
00:32:21,067 --> 00:32:23,318
Kat:
The city's safe no longer.
450
00:32:25,153 --> 00:32:27,613
There is no food.
451
00:32:27,614 --> 00:32:29,532
Our neighbors
are stealing from each other.
452
00:32:29,533 --> 00:32:30,908
We must get out.
453
00:32:30,909 --> 00:32:32,744
{\an8}And where would you have us go?
454
00:32:32,745 --> 00:32:35,038
North, maybe? South?
455
00:32:35,747 --> 00:32:37,874
For all we know, every road leads
into the dragons' teeth.
456
00:32:37,875 --> 00:32:40,168
Like the one they carted
through the streets?
457
00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:45,006
You think Rhaenyra
will let such an affront go unchallenged?
458
00:32:48,093 --> 00:32:50,511
We should make for Tumbleton.
459
00:32:50,512 --> 00:32:52,638
My brother will have room.
460
00:32:52,639 --> 00:32:54,766
You would have me turn beggar?
461
00:32:56,309 --> 00:32:57,936
(daughter groans)
462
00:33:00,814 --> 00:33:02,816
Are we not beggars already?
463
00:33:03,817 --> 00:33:05,485
Have you been paid
for those machines
464
00:33:05,486 --> 00:33:06,443
you were forced to build?
465
00:33:06,444 --> 00:33:08,716
The king has promised payment.
466
00:33:08,717 --> 00:33:10,990
(hushed)
The king has lied!
467
00:33:14,786 --> 00:33:15,954
(coughs)
468
00:33:22,627 --> 00:33:24,462
By all means...
469
00:33:25,296 --> 00:33:28,675
stay and wait for his
empty promises, husband.
470
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:33,638
With them, you can feed
the mouths of ghosts.
471
00:33:45,316 --> 00:33:47,318
(dog whimpering)
472
00:33:49,863 --> 00:33:51,865
(indistinct chatter)
473
00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:00,415
(body thuds)
474
00:34:13,011 --> 00:34:15,013
Presumed you'd be here.
475
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:18,725
Seeing faithfully
to the Prince Regent's commands.
476
00:34:18,726 --> 00:34:20,851
Aemond is the next in line.
477
00:34:20,852 --> 00:34:23,855
- It is the order of things.
- You know what he is...
478
00:34:23,856 --> 00:34:25,899
what he has somehow become.
479
00:34:28,693 --> 00:34:30,069
Has your loyalty faded?
480
00:34:30,070 --> 00:34:32,467
Or does it flourish
only at night
481
00:34:32,468 --> 00:34:34,866
and flee the sunrise
like a moth?
482
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:40,163
What I saw at Rook's Rest...
483
00:34:40,164 --> 00:34:43,375
What?
What did you see?
484
00:34:47,545 --> 00:34:49,547
Their armor melted.
485
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:53,885
There were men walking.
They were on fire.
486
00:34:57,305 --> 00:34:59,557
We have given the war
to the dragons.
487
00:35:01,101 --> 00:35:02,727
A dragonrider should lead us.
488
00:35:07,107 --> 00:35:09,796
And what of justice,
of temperance?
489
00:35:09,797 --> 00:35:12,487
Or is strength now
to be our only god?
490
00:35:17,909 --> 00:35:19,911
So you cast me aside.
491
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,081
Have I not spared you?
492
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,628
What we must do
now is... terrible.
493
00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:32,632
Will you preside over it?
494
00:35:33,258 --> 00:35:36,845
- Is this who you are, Alicent?
- I did not ask to be spared.
495
00:35:40,306 --> 00:35:42,434
And I did not give you
leave to speak my name.
496
00:35:48,356 --> 00:35:50,358
(loud chattering)
497
00:35:55,447 --> 00:35:56,781
gold cloak:
Halt!
498
00:35:57,449 --> 00:35:59,451
(crowd shouting)
499
00:36:02,787 --> 00:36:03,997
Stay back!
500
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:07,459
townsperson:
We've got to get out!
501
00:36:08,293 --> 00:36:09,794
gold cloak:
Somebody get him!
502
00:36:10,545 --> 00:36:12,671
Stay back! No!
503
00:36:12,672 --> 00:36:15,132
Holdfast, holdfast!
504
00:36:15,133 --> 00:36:17,344
- (shouting, fighting)
- Stay back! Hold!
505
00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:23,308
Back!
506
00:36:24,351 --> 00:36:27,312
Disperse, disperse!
507
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,939
By order of Aemond Targaryen,
508
00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:33,777
Prince Regent
and Protector of the Realm...
509
00:36:33,778 --> 00:36:36,278
- Aemond?
- Does he mean the king?
510
00:36:36,279 --> 00:36:38,655
- I don't know.
- You cannot keep us here!
511
00:36:38,656 --> 00:36:41,618
- You are ordered to return to your homes!
- We want meat!
512
00:36:41,619 --> 00:36:43,203
- Meat!
- Meat!
513
00:36:43,204 --> 00:36:44,913
(shouting)
514
00:36:51,211 --> 00:36:53,380
(crowd, gold cloaks clamoring)
515
00:36:53,381 --> 00:36:54,839
gold cloak: Stay back!
516
00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:58,677
(grumbles)
517
00:37:02,847 --> 00:37:06,059
Forrest Frey: Our Lord Grover Tully
has not declared for Rhaenyra.
518
00:37:07,268 --> 00:37:09,396
It means death to bare steel
against your liege,
519
00:37:09,397 --> 00:37:11,690
as I'm sure my prince is aware.
520
00:37:13,191 --> 00:37:15,402
And against your queen?
521
00:37:17,612 --> 00:37:18,613
Hm?
522
00:37:22,450 --> 00:37:25,869
(sighs) Jason Lannister is
marshaling to the west.
523
00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:29,290
We need to check him
before he reaches Riverrun.
524
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:32,209
That requires passage.
525
00:37:32,210 --> 00:37:34,671
And if Stark's army is too slow?
526
00:37:34,672 --> 00:37:36,422
The wind's rising.
527
00:37:36,423 --> 00:37:38,090
Winter is nigh upon us.
528
00:37:38,091 --> 00:37:39,759
Our hesitance does not lie
529
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,885
in Rhaenyra as Queen,
530
00:37:41,886 --> 00:37:45,306
nor in the ruminations
of Lord Tully, the oaf.
531
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:49,059
Our fear lies in Vhagar.
532
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:52,104
You fear a dragon leagues away
533
00:37:52,105 --> 00:37:54,774
when mine own sits
outside your walls?
534
00:37:54,775 --> 00:37:56,818
(wind blowing)
535
00:37:59,070 --> 00:38:02,407
- Do you offer us your protection?
- I do.
536
00:38:08,997 --> 00:38:10,999
And the protection of my uncle.
537
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:16,421
And Daemon, I'm sure,
has consented to this?
538
00:38:16,422 --> 00:38:18,444
He will do as
his queen commands.
539
00:38:18,445 --> 00:38:20,185
That does lend us some comfort.
540
00:38:20,186 --> 00:38:21,925
Though it
occurs to me that dragons
541
00:38:21,926 --> 00:38:25,263
- cannot be in two places at once.
- Or three.
542
00:38:28,183 --> 00:38:30,018
What do you want?
543
00:38:32,312 --> 00:38:35,836
Larys Strong has been
relieved of his castle.
544
00:38:35,837 --> 00:38:39,361
Does the queen intend
to raise up a new lord?
545
00:38:43,823 --> 00:38:45,283
You want Harrenhal.
546
00:38:56,628 --> 00:39:00,382
(light, tense music playing)
547
00:39:04,177 --> 00:39:09,140
For that... my mother will want
more than your crossing.
548
00:39:10,892 --> 00:39:12,894
What does Her Grace desire?
549
00:39:15,522 --> 00:39:17,732
Bent knees.
550
00:39:19,818 --> 00:39:21,820
(music intensifies)
551
00:39:42,882 --> 00:39:45,363
(music fades out)
552
00:39:45,364 --> 00:39:47,846
(indistinct chatter)
553
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,890
(screams echoing)
554
00:39:56,855 --> 00:39:59,524
(screaming subsides)
555
00:40:00,692 --> 00:40:02,736
(indistinct chatter)
556
00:40:11,578 --> 00:40:12,787
Daemon:
Up.
557
00:40:13,455 --> 00:40:15,206
Alys Rivers:
You were born to wield a sword,
558
00:40:15,207 --> 00:40:18,251
but not so much an axe, perhaps.
559
00:40:19,461 --> 00:40:21,086
Daemon: There are others
who would sit idle
560
00:40:21,087 --> 00:40:23,339
and wait for their claims
to be brought to them.
561
00:40:23,340 --> 00:40:26,676
- That is not my way.
- Does splitting firewood justify what's followed you here?
562
00:40:26,677 --> 00:40:28,866
Let it not be said
that Daemon Targaryen
563
00:40:28,867 --> 00:40:31,056
failed to dirty
his hands in this war.
564
00:40:31,057 --> 00:40:32,932
Oh, let me see them.
565
00:40:34,059 --> 00:40:35,935
- Sit.
- Daemon: Ah.
566
00:40:35,936 --> 00:40:37,228
Sit!
567
00:40:40,899 --> 00:40:44,361
(sighs) I hear strange things
from Bracken land,
568
00:40:44,362 --> 00:40:47,405
from Stone Hedge
and Lambswold and Mory.
569
00:40:48,406 --> 00:40:50,533
There's news, then?
570
00:40:50,534 --> 00:40:51,743
News?
571
00:40:52,911 --> 00:40:53,912
No.
572
00:40:56,081 --> 00:40:58,874
What I hear, I hear in the wind.
573
00:40:58,875 --> 00:41:01,920
- (screams echoing)
- Cries of anguish.
574
00:41:03,838 --> 00:41:05,923
Children being taken
from their mothers,
575
00:41:05,924 --> 00:41:09,886
men coming home
to find their doors unlatched...
576
00:41:09,887 --> 00:41:12,097
their wives carried away.
577
00:41:12,098 --> 00:41:14,286
(screaming subsides)
578
00:41:14,287 --> 00:41:16,476
War is a terrible thing.
579
00:41:17,018 --> 00:41:19,603
This is not war.
580
00:41:19,604 --> 00:41:22,085
These are crimes
against the innocent,
581
00:41:22,086 --> 00:41:24,566
that any upright man
would repudiate.
582
00:41:24,567 --> 00:41:27,112
Surely you haven't mistaken me
for an upright man.
583
00:41:27,113 --> 00:41:29,113
(Alys chuckles)
584
00:41:29,114 --> 00:41:32,012
The Brackens had
their chance to do as I required.
585
00:41:32,013 --> 00:41:34,911
They will perhaps
think better of their decision
586
00:41:34,912 --> 00:41:38,123
if their children's lives
are staked on it.
587
00:41:39,457 --> 00:41:41,835
Is that the kind of army
you would raise?
588
00:41:42,836 --> 00:41:45,504
Men who hate you...
589
00:41:45,505 --> 00:41:47,297
who serve you under duress?
590
00:41:47,298 --> 00:41:50,427
Well, once they agree to serve me,
I'll treat them fairly.
591
00:41:50,428 --> 00:41:52,116
Set an example for the rest
592
00:41:52,117 --> 00:41:53,804
of the Riverlands to follow.
593
00:41:53,805 --> 00:41:56,306
And once again,
in the name of power,
594
00:41:56,307 --> 00:41:59,144
it's the weak and the women
who must endure.
595
00:42:01,980 --> 00:42:04,816
That fool, Aegon,
is unlike to survive.
596
00:42:06,901 --> 00:42:09,195
The realm will suffer
if Aemond One-Eye rules.
597
00:42:10,739 --> 00:42:12,323
You should pray
you never meet him.
598
00:42:12,907 --> 00:42:15,285
He will cut you down
soon as wish you good-day.
599
00:42:15,286 --> 00:42:16,828
I'd heard the same
thing about you.
600
00:42:16,829 --> 00:42:17,995
But I'll cross you no further.
601
00:42:17,996 --> 00:42:19,456
I'm sure your tactics
are, after all,
602
00:42:19,457 --> 00:42:21,896
approved by the queen.
603
00:42:21,897 --> 00:42:24,336
(tense music playing)
604
00:42:26,838 --> 00:42:29,049
She cannot succeed, Alys.
605
00:42:29,716 --> 00:42:31,967
Even if I willed it to be so.
606
00:42:31,968 --> 00:42:34,054
The people who support her
will not be led by her.
607
00:42:34,055 --> 00:42:36,181
They look to a man for strength.
608
00:42:36,182 --> 00:42:37,348
Who's better suited to it?
609
00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:39,809
The Hightowers
with their scheming?
610
00:42:39,810 --> 00:42:42,020
Or Viserys's first true heir?
611
00:42:43,188 --> 00:42:45,647
When I take King's Landing...
612
00:42:45,648 --> 00:42:47,192
Rhaenyra is welcome
to join me there
613
00:42:47,193 --> 00:42:50,466
and take her place by my side.
614
00:42:50,467 --> 00:42:53,740
King and queen...
ruling together.
615
00:42:54,366 --> 00:42:56,888
- And if you lose?
- Then I'll be dead,
616
00:42:56,889 --> 00:42:59,411
and none of this
will be my problem.
617
00:42:59,412 --> 00:43:02,707
It's a pity, don't you think,
that you never knew your mother?

The Blackwoods

has pledged his banner to you.

House Bracken is yours.

Call Ser Willem here
so that I might congratulate him.
626
00:43:29,150 --> 00:43:31,778
The Blackwoods will be
feted in these halls.

I sought you at High Tide.
630
00:43:45,959 --> 00:43:48,253
I was surprised
when they said you were here.
631
00:43:49,421 --> 00:43:51,423
My castle is a tomb.
632
00:43:52,757 --> 00:43:54,926
Empty.
Haunted.
633
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,680
I am sad to have missed
its highest days.
634
00:43:59,681 --> 00:44:01,557
I imagine your Hall of Nine
635
00:44:01,558 --> 00:44:03,434
filled with lords and kings,
636
00:44:03,435 --> 00:44:06,521
all eager to treat
with the legendary Lord of the Tides.
637
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,441
The wealth you brought back
638
00:44:09,442 --> 00:44:11,776
from Yi Ti and Asshai,
639
00:44:11,777 --> 00:44:14,112
inspiring awe and envy.
640
00:44:16,531 --> 00:44:18,533
I wonder if any of them knew
it was all for her.
641
00:44:27,667 --> 00:44:30,003
Queen Rhaenyra wishes
to name you Hand.

643
00:44:33,381 --> 00:44:37,218
Even the death
of my wife does not content her.
644
00:44:39,554 --> 00:44:41,806
Has she not asked
enough of my house?
645
00:44:42,307 --> 00:44:45,976
It is a sign
of her great esteem.
646
00:44:45,977 --> 00:44:48,021
Or does she think
the position will compensate me
647
00:44:48,022 --> 00:44:49,314
for my loss?
648
00:44:50,523 --> 00:44:52,859
Pledge your peace
to King's Landing, then.
649
00:44:52,860 --> 00:44:55,153
They will accept it
most gleefully.
650
00:44:57,822 --> 00:45:00,408
Rather I would sail
into the West and be lost.
651

You have done so before,
652
00:45:03,620 --> 00:45:06,373
at great cost to yourself
and those who loved you.
653
00:45:08,917 --> 00:45:12,190
Rhaenys was not
only your wife...
654
00:45:12,191 --> 00:45:15,141
not a thing to be
taken from you.
655

And she flew
to Rook's Rest of her own will.

- In defense of her kin.
- And she died.

She died
as she would have wished to die...
