00:15:40,441 --> 00:15:42,776
They control the
crossing at the Twins.
184
00:15:42,777 --> 00:15:45,612
Cregan Stark's graybeards
are marching south.
185
00:15:45,613 --> 00:15:48,949
If his men had a direct
route into the Riverlands,
186
00:15:48,950 --> 00:15:51,077
we would not have to wait
for Daemon to act.
187
00:15:51,786 --> 00:15:54,455
I will treat with The
Freys to secure it.
188
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:56,290
She will not like it.
189
00:15:56,791 --> 00:16:00,670
Then don't tell her.
Not until I'm away.
190
00:16:10,138 --> 00:16:12,306
(Caraxes calls)
191
00:16:13,850 --> 00:16:16,978
Daemon Targaryen: The hour
is late and my dragon is hungry.
192
00:16:17,103 --> 00:16:20,439
- (horses neighing)
- You have no choice but to submit.
193
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,315
Our terms are simple,
Lord Bracken.
194
00:16:22,316 --> 00:16:26,028
Renounce the false king
Aegon as a usurper
195
00:16:26,154 --> 00:16:28,823
and bend the knee to me
196
00:16:28,948 --> 00:16:30,615
or your house burns.
197
00:16:30,616 --> 00:16:33,661
I would sooner be the
Lord of Bones and Cinders
198
00:16:33,786 --> 00:16:38,123
than bend my knee before
some heathen Blackwood cunt...
199
00:16:38,124 --> 00:16:39,709
and his hired dragon.
200
00:16:39,834 --> 00:16:41,335
The Brackens were
a people hatched out
201
00:16:41,461 --> 00:16:43,795
of the deepest of the
Seven Hells, Your Grace.
202
00:16:43,796 --> 00:16:45,338
It would be a kindness
to oblige them
203
00:16:45,339 --> 00:16:47,340
and send them back
whence they came.
204
00:16:47,341 --> 00:16:48,633
Did your brother's head
205
00:16:48,634 --> 00:16:51,179
keep on its way
back to you, Willem?
206
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:53,389
I heard the maggots got to it.
207
00:16:53,514 --> 00:16:56,517
That is quite the
impression, Lord Bracken.
208
00:16:57,351 --> 00:16:59,562
But alas, not an answer.
209
00:17:01,064 --> 00:17:03,066
(horses grunting)
210
00:17:05,026 --> 00:17:07,028
(horse neighs)
211
00:17:09,238 --> 00:17:11,574
We choose fire.
212
00:17:11,699 --> 00:17:14,869
- (horse neighs)
- (Caraxes grumbling)
213
00:17:21,417 --> 00:17:24,837
I did not think they
would be so eager to die.
214
00:17:25,546 --> 00:17:27,423
They made their choice.
215
00:17:27,715 --> 00:17:30,717
- You should've indulged them.
- I need them alive.
216
00:17:30,718 --> 00:17:33,679
I came here to raise
swords, not corpses.
217
00:17:34,222 --> 00:17:37,391
But now you see what my
house has known for generations.
218
00:17:37,392 --> 00:17:39,394
They are pigheaded,
intransigent...
219
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:42,063
They would rather
burn than succumb.
220
00:17:45,733 --> 00:17:47,902
Exactly the kind of men I need.
221
00:17:49,904 --> 00:17:51,405
It may yet be possible, I think,
222
00:17:51,406 --> 00:17:53,449
for both of us
to achieve our ends.
223
00:17:53,574 --> 00:17:56,243
We have fought them
for an age and more.
224
00:17:56,244 --> 00:17:57,702
Then perhaps you could try
225
00:17:57,703 --> 00:18:00,081
less fighting and more...
226
00:18:03,876 --> 00:18:05,628
persuading.
227
00:18:06,421 --> 00:18:09,132
They are unyielding in battle.
228
00:18:12,093 --> 00:18:14,095
(wind blowing)
229
00:18:15,888 --> 00:18:18,724
But every man has a weakness.
230
00:18:18,725 --> 00:18:21,227
You take my meaning, then.
231
00:18:24,772 --> 00:18:28,943
There are things the crown
itself must not been seen to do.
232
00:18:30,278 --> 00:18:31,779
Show them your worst.
233
00:18:31,904 --> 00:18:34,239
I am your servant, Your Grace.
234
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,285
(tense music playing)
235
00:18:43,958 --> 00:18:45,960
(music intensifies)
236
00:18:55,303 --> 00:18:58,972
Jeyne Arryn: Over the
centuries, many and more armies
237
00:18:58,973 --> 00:19:02,268
have broken themselves
against my bloody gate.
238
00:19:04,312 --> 00:19:06,480
(music fades out)
239
00:19:06,481 --> 00:19:08,649
Are you listening?
240
00:19:09,442 --> 00:19:10,818
My lady.
241
00:19:11,319 --> 00:19:13,988
The Eyrie itself is impregnable.
242
00:19:16,157 --> 00:19:19,494
Unless, of course, we're
descended upon from the sky.
243
00:19:19,619 --> 00:19:22,287
You promised the Queen
Rhaenyra 15,000 swords...
244
00:19:22,288 --> 00:19:25,541
In return for protection.
A dragon.
245
00:19:27,043 --> 00:19:29,879
Then she has
exceeded your terms.
246
00:19:30,004 --> 00:19:31,172
She sent two.
247
00:19:31,714 --> 00:19:34,217
Both still wet from the egg.
248
00:19:34,342 --> 00:19:35,343
(scoffs)
249
00:19:35,843 --> 00:19:38,388
I have hunting hounds
that are more fearsome.
250
00:19:38,513 --> 00:19:40,848
They are dragons nonetheless.
251
00:19:41,349 --> 00:19:42,641
I do not recall you specifying
252
00:19:42,642 --> 00:19:44,352
the size of the beast
in your request.
253
00:19:44,477 --> 00:19:46,354
Will you goad me, child?
254
00:19:46,854 --> 00:19:49,857
When your bread and shelter
now depend on my pleasure?
255
00:19:51,526 --> 00:19:53,569
The dragons will grow...
256
00:19:54,529 --> 00:19:56,739
- in time.
- I don't have time.
257
00:19:58,491 --> 00:20:00,868
I mislike feeling powerless.
258
00:20:02,203 --> 00:20:03,704
So do I.
259
00:20:10,211 --> 00:20:12,003
This will be your chamber.
260
00:20:12,004 --> 00:20:14,215
I'll expect you
at supper this evening?
261
00:20:17,176 --> 00:20:21,389
My sympathies for the death
of your grandmother.
262
00:20:23,725 --> 00:20:25,893
(wind blowing)
263
00:20:29,564 --> 00:20:32,357
The way they spoke
at my small council today.
264
00:20:32,358 --> 00:20:35,861
Mysaria: Do they hold you
responsible for Rhaenys and her dragon?
265
00:20:35,862 --> 00:20:37,572
I would rather they had.
266
00:20:38,072 --> 00:20:40,783
They speak around me, not to me.
267
00:20:41,451 --> 00:20:42,577
(sighs) They would
make me queen,
268
00:20:42,702 --> 00:20:44,870
but they wish
to keep me here, confined.
269
00:20:44,871 --> 00:20:47,415
They betray their own smallness.
270
00:20:47,957 --> 00:20:49,250
In truth, I cannot fault them.
271
00:20:49,375 --> 00:20:53,545
I am now the sovereign.
I cannot do as I please.
272
00:20:53,546 --> 00:20:56,256
And war has ever been
for men to make.
273
00:20:56,257 --> 00:20:59,760
You are your father's
chosen successor.
274
00:20:59,761 --> 00:21:02,220
He did not prepare me to fight.
275
00:21:02,221 --> 00:21:04,098
If I had been a son,
276
00:21:04,223 --> 00:21:07,769
a sword thrust into my hand
the moment I could walk.
277
00:21:08,269 --> 00:21:10,563
Instead, I was given
my father's cup...
278
00:21:11,105 --> 00:21:13,649
taught the name
of every lord and castle
279
00:21:13,775 --> 00:21:15,233
between Storm's End
and the Twins,
280
00:21:15,234 --> 00:21:18,446
but not the difference
between hilt and foible.
281
00:21:19,322 --> 00:21:21,115
And they know it.
282
00:21:22,450 --> 00:21:26,078
- And Daemon as well... - Shall your evening
meal be served here, Your Grace?
283
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:27,789
(sharply)
Not now.
284
00:21:28,748 --> 00:21:31,959
(distant dragons grumbling)
285
00:21:33,628 --> 00:21:35,338
Will you send to him?
286
00:21:36,756 --> 00:21:39,591
For too long, I have
looked to him for strength.
287
00:21:39,592 --> 00:21:41,677
If I must be supplicant
to my own husband,
288
00:21:41,803 --> 00:21:43,638
what does that make me?
289
00:21:46,974 --> 00:21:50,186
I do not know my part, Mysaria.
290
00:21:53,022 --> 00:21:55,983
The path I walk
has never been trod.
291
00:21:56,984 --> 00:22:00,780
Criston Cole made a mistake.
292
00:22:02,156 --> 00:22:06,451
Parading a dragon's head through
the streets like a prize of war,
293
00:22:06,452 --> 00:22:08,495
but the people see an ill omen.
294
00:22:08,496 --> 00:22:09,996
(scoffs)
Yes, as do I.
295
00:22:09,997 --> 00:22:13,333
They are afraid,
bread is scarce,
296
00:22:13,334 --> 00:22:14,793
the king has fallen,
297
00:22:14,794 --> 00:22:17,380
they whisper to each other
that when Viserys lived,
298
00:22:17,505 --> 00:22:19,631
- there was peace.
- (sighs)
299
00:22:19,632 --> 00:22:22,385
But will whispers
tear down stone...
300
00:22:22,510 --> 00:22:23,886
or break shields?
301
00:22:24,011 --> 00:22:27,390
Do not underestimate
your subjects.
302
00:22:27,515 --> 00:22:29,016
They are a thousand-thousand
303
00:22:29,142 --> 00:22:30,809
living in the shadow
of the Red Keep
304
00:22:30,810 --> 00:22:33,354
and forgotten for too long.
305
00:22:34,021 --> 00:22:36,232
And you think they
will turn to me.
306
00:22:36,357 --> 00:22:40,862
To the discontented,
rumors are feed.
307
00:22:41,696 --> 00:22:45,365
(light, tense music playing)
308
00:22:45,366 --> 00:22:47,160
Your Grace.
309
00:22:49,245 --> 00:22:53,875
What you cannot do,
let others do for you.
310
00:22:55,001 --> 00:22:58,336
There is more than
one way to fight a war.
311
00:22:58,337 --> 00:23:00,381
(music intensifies)
312
00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:13,770
♪
313
00:23:18,399 --> 00:23:20,358
(music fades out)
314
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,028
Baela: The thought
of her lying in a field,
315
00:23:23,029 --> 00:23:25,907
broken amongst her enemies.
316
00:23:36,250 --> 00:23:40,463
Did your grandmother ever tell
you of the night she claimed Meleys?
317
00:23:41,464 --> 00:23:43,466
She snuck into the Dragonpit.
318
00:23:44,092 --> 00:23:46,594
She knew that place
better than any Elder.
319
00:23:47,095 --> 00:23:49,263
They say she could
see in the dark.
320
00:23:50,765 --> 00:23:52,600
My father was furious.
321
00:23:52,725 --> 00:23:54,726
His own mother's dragon,
322
00:23:54,727 --> 00:23:56,104
the fastest beast ever known,
323
00:23:56,229 --> 00:23:58,063
- and she'd have none of him.
- (Rhaenyra chuckles)
324
00:23:58,064 --> 00:24:00,566
But bent her neck to Rhaenys.
325
00:24:01,609 --> 00:24:03,778
She was fierce...
326
00:24:04,904 --> 00:24:07,115
in love and in anger.
327
00:24:09,617 --> 00:24:13,329
She did not always
care for me, but...
328
00:24:14,956 --> 00:24:19,168
for what she gave me
in the end, I'm grateful.
329
00:24:24,966 --> 00:24:28,094
I wished I had known her
when she was young.
330
00:24:33,641 --> 00:24:37,979
- (chuckles) You are very like her
in some ways. - (Baela chuckles)
331
00:24:40,481 --> 00:24:45,444
And with her gone... I
must rely on you, I think.
332
00:24:45,445 --> 00:24:48,113
Your Grace?
(sniffles)
333
00:24:48,114 --> 00:24:50,867
Would you give this
to your grandsire?
334
00:25:02,295 --> 00:25:05,006
I do not wish to stand alone.
335
00:25:06,507 --> 00:25:08,675
(eerie rumbling)
336
00:25:08,676 --> 00:25:10,470
female voice:
Daemon.
337
00:25:15,224 --> 00:25:16,559
Daemon.
338
00:25:17,310 --> 00:25:20,188
You were always the strong one.
339
00:25:22,023 --> 00:25:24,859
The finest swordsman...
340
00:25:27,528 --> 00:25:30,198
the fearless dragonrider.
341
00:25:31,991 --> 00:25:35,745
Your brother had great
love in his heart...
342
00:25:35,870 --> 00:25:38,039
(heavy breathing)
343
00:25:39,916 --> 00:25:42,377
...but he lacked
your constitution.
344
00:25:43,211 --> 00:25:46,005
Viserys was unsuited
for the crown...
345
00:25:49,050 --> 00:25:53,096
but you... Daemon,
you were made to wear it.
346
00:26:01,396 --> 00:26:03,398
(heavy breathing)
347
00:26:13,241 --> 00:26:16,411
If only you'd been born first.
348
00:26:17,620 --> 00:26:20,081
My favorite son.
349
00:26:26,254 --> 00:26:29,632
(echoing) Is the duck not
to your liking, Your Grace?
350
00:26:34,595 --> 00:26:38,224
(normal) There's also
goose, if you'd prefer it.
351
00:26:39,892 --> 00:26:41,768
I like the goose, myself.
352
00:26:41,769 --> 00:26:44,230
(dinnerware clattering)
353
00:26:45,106 --> 00:26:47,442
(Alys pouring wine)
354
00:26:49,986 --> 00:26:51,446
Uh, I'm not hungry.
355
00:26:51,571 --> 00:26:53,781
Simon Strong: I was saying,
given the rather dire news
356
00:26:53,906 --> 00:26:55,742
from Rook's Rest...
357
00:26:56,576 --> 00:27:00,579
it appears the winds have shifted
and each side has suffered great loss,
358
00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:04,167
and will be unsure
of what is to follow.
359
00:27:05,293 --> 00:27:08,253
A good time, then,
for a show of strength.
360
00:27:08,254 --> 00:27:09,421
I believe Willem Blackwood
361
00:27:09,422 --> 00:27:12,091
is bringing
House Bracken to heel.
362
00:27:13,301 --> 00:27:16,679
We must ready the castle
to receive a great host.
363
00:27:18,973 --> 00:27:20,807
You seem sure of this.
364
00:27:20,808 --> 00:27:23,602
All men may be led, Ser Simon.
365
00:27:23,603 --> 00:27:25,354
Even Rivermen.
366
00:27:26,314 --> 00:27:30,318
'Tis a matter of showing them
whom it behooves them to follow.
367
00:27:31,486 --> 00:27:33,821
How does the work here progress?
368
00:27:34,155 --> 00:27:37,949
Oh, um... we're drawing
water for the kitchens
369
00:27:37,950 --> 00:27:40,328
- and lighting the forges.
- Very well.
370
00:27:40,453 --> 00:27:42,954
That is merely the
beginning, of course.
371
00:27:42,955 --> 00:27:44,707
The roof alone
has needed tending
372
00:27:44,832 --> 00:27:45,792
since the reign of Aenys.
373
00:27:45,793 --> 00:27:47,000
And the storerooms.
374
00:27:47,001 --> 00:27:49,045
And...
375
00:27:49,170 --> 00:27:51,672
and the Wailing Tower.
(chuckles)
376
00:27:52,173 --> 00:27:54,675
The bats have made the
corridors almost impassable
377
00:27:54,801 --> 00:27:56,803
with the quantity of their...
378
00:27:57,845 --> 00:27:59,389
Their shit.
379
00:28:01,516 --> 00:28:03,393
I venture there are
smiths and armorers
380
00:28:03,518 --> 00:28:05,977
to be found near
Nutton and Riverbend.
381
00:28:05,978 --> 00:28:08,022
Well, send for them,
and levy the farmers
382
00:28:08,147 --> 00:28:10,149
from Antlers to High Heart.
383
00:28:10,358 --> 00:28:14,195
Task their huntsmen
to bring us meat and wood.
384
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,988
Um, there is, of course,
the matter of payment.
385
00:28:16,989 --> 00:28:18,657
(clattering stops)
386
00:28:18,658 --> 00:28:23,204
After the, the tragedy
that befell his father...
387
00:28:23,538 --> 00:28:29,334
Larys transferred his family's
wealth to King's Landing.
388
00:28:29,335 --> 00:28:31,754
Is there any gold
left in your coffers?
389
00:28:31,879 --> 00:28:36,551
Enough to keep this small
establishment you see fed and warm.
390
00:28:37,552 --> 00:28:39,053
Relatively.
391
00:28:41,431 --> 00:28:44,891
I... I rather thought,
Your Grace, as
392
00:28:44,892 --> 00:28:48,229
emissary to the Queen
393
00:28:48,354 --> 00:28:52,190
that p-perhaps she could
provide the necessary coin
394
00:28:52,191 --> 00:28:55,778
- if you could only write to her.
- No.
395
00:28:55,903 --> 00:28:57,905
Harrenhal is my command.
396
00:28:58,364 --> 00:29:01,242
I shall guarantee
the payment myself.
397
00:29:02,076 --> 00:29:03,870
(mouths)
Up, up.
398
00:29:06,914 --> 00:29:08,916
Very well, Your Grace.
399
00:29:09,250 --> 00:29:12,420
You should
address me as "my king."
400
00:29:12,754 --> 00:29:14,422
But you're the prince.
401
00:29:14,756 --> 00:29:17,091
What would you call
the husband of the queen?
402
00:29:17,216 --> 00:29:18,884
- Well, the king...
- Daemon: There it is, then.
403
00:29:18,885 --> 00:29:20,428
...consort.
404
00:29:21,429 --> 00:29:24,390
That last bit seems
unnecessary, don't you think?
405
00:29:26,768 --> 00:29:28,311
(sighing)
406
00:29:30,104 --> 00:29:32,064
Orwyle:
The armor was Valyrian steel,
407
00:29:32,065 --> 00:29:36,444
but His Grace suffered grievous
burns over much of his body.
408
00:29:37,403 --> 00:29:39,280
He has many broken bones.
409
00:29:39,405 --> 00:29:42,783
I fear there are
more injuries within,
410
00:29:42,784 --> 00:29:44,786
injuries we cannot see.
411
00:29:46,287 --> 00:29:48,623
(inhales) We are
grateful for your works,
412
00:29:48,748 --> 00:29:49,749
Grand Maester.
413
00:29:50,833 --> 00:29:53,419
- Has he woken?
- No.
414
00:29:54,670 --> 00:29:59,342
I must admit, I'm not
sure he will ever wake.
415
00:29:59,467 --> 00:30:02,678
I have plied my crafts
to their fullest extents.
416
00:30:02,804 --> 00:30:06,974
Our king's fate
lies with the gods now.
417
00:30:17,485 --> 00:30:20,488
A king cannot rule in his sleep.
418
00:30:20,613 --> 00:30:22,990
The realm will have
noticed his absence.
419
00:30:23,491 --> 00:30:27,203
Let them hear of his
great deeds at Rook's Rest.
420
00:30:27,328 --> 00:30:30,039
But now we must name
a regent to take his place
421
00:30:30,164 --> 00:30:31,833
until he recovers...
422
00:30:34,168 --> 00:30:35,503
or does not.
423
00:30:37,004 --> 00:30:39,297
A wise strategy, Your Grace.
424
00:30:39,298 --> 00:30:41,008
A regency will assure the people
425
00:30:41,134 --> 00:30:43,678
of the stability of the crown.
426
00:30:46,222 --> 00:30:49,350
Did you have a candidate
in mind, Your Grace?
427
00:30:49,809 --> 00:30:51,519
I myself served in this
role for my husband.
428
00:30:51,644 --> 00:30:53,186
I am well-prepared
to do it again.
429
00:30:53,187 --> 00:30:54,646
You played your part admirably
430
00:30:54,647 --> 00:30:56,314
in a time of peace, Your Grace,
431
00:30:56,315 --> 00:30:58,817
but circumstances have changed.
432
00:30:58,818 --> 00:31:00,528
(sarcastically) And
here I had forgotten.
433
00:31:00,653 --> 00:31:02,821
Ironrod: The king
does not lack for heirs.
434
00:31:02,822 --> 00:31:07,868
The obvious choice is his
immediate successor, Prince Aemond.
435
00:31:07,869 --> 00:31:09,202
Tyland Lannister:
Agreed.
436
00:31:09,203 --> 00:31:12,038
Aemond is young.
437
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:15,001
And his lack of restraint
has already cost us dearly.
438
00:31:24,218 --> 00:31:28,389
Orwyle: It is experience that
offers the surest path to security.
439
00:31:28,514 --> 00:31:31,516
Queen Alicent ably shouldered
the duties of the realm
440
00:31:31,517 --> 00:31:33,226
when her husband's
health failed him.
441
00:31:33,227 --> 00:31:34,561
Experience is valuable, yes,
442
00:31:34,562 --> 00:31:36,021
but the dowager queen
is a woman.
443
00:31:36,022 --> 00:31:39,275
I am no stranger to rule
or to sitting at this council.
444
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,568
Aemond is
a fearsome dragonrider.
445
00:31:40,693 --> 00:31:42,027
His skill is best
employed in the field,
446
00:31:42,028 --> 00:31:45,030
but my experience is
needed here, at this table.
447
00:31:45,031 --> 00:31:47,407
No offense was meant,
Your Grace, but...
448
00:31:47,408 --> 00:31:52,580
- at a time when we must
show strength. - Lord Larys?
449
00:31:52,705 --> 00:31:55,374
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.
450
00:31:57,085 --> 00:31:59,544
What would it say if, in
response to Rhaenyra's crowning,
451
00:31:59,545 --> 00:32:01,964
we raised up a woman of our own?
452
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:06,260
But, um...
453
00:32:07,637 --> 00:32:09,554
but the Hand speaks
for the king's voice.
454
00:32:09,555 --> 00:32:11,808
Ser Criston, what say you?
455
00:32:18,606 --> 00:32:20,983
Aemond is the next in line.
456
00:32:23,111 --> 00:32:24,654
It must be him.
457
00:32:29,158 --> 00:32:31,411
Aemond Targaryen:
It's agreed then.
458
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,976
What is our standing
in the Riverlands?
459
00:32:56,477 --> 00:32:59,104
Tyland:
Uh, the banners of House Tully
460
00:32:59,105 --> 00:33:01,314
are in disarray, Your Grace.
461
00:33:01,315 --> 00:33:02,525
Prince Daemon has little hope
462
00:33:02,650 --> 00:33:05,152
of fielding an army
of any size, for now.
463
00:33:05,153 --> 00:33:06,778
(voices fading)
464
00:33:06,779 --> 00:33:08,780
Larys Strong: We would do well
to send word to young Oscar Tully.
465
00:33:08,781 --> 00:33:10,658
- (Alicent breathing heavily)
- It's only a matter of time
466
00:33:10,783 --> 00:33:13,160
before he inherits
his grandsire's mantle.
467
00:33:13,161 --> 00:33:15,163
Aemond:
Tell me, Lord Strong,
468
00:33:15,288 --> 00:33:16,706
how I can trust
the counsel of a man
469
00:33:16,831 --> 00:33:18,374
who leaves the jewel
of the Riverlands
470
00:33:18,499 --> 00:33:21,002
to be plucked by our enemy?
471
00:33:24,505 --> 00:33:26,007
Your brother's host
can meet Daemon.
472
00:33:26,132 --> 00:33:27,341
He should quicken its pace
473
00:33:27,467 --> 00:33:28,467
and check the Rivermen
474
00:33:28,468 --> 00:33:29,968
while their banners
are in disarray.
475
00:33:29,969 --> 00:33:32,221
Tyland: I shall send
Lord Jason encouragement.
476
00:33:32,346 --> 00:33:35,183
- Aemond: What else?
- Orwyle: We might turn our attention
477
00:33:35,308 --> 00:33:37,642
to the smallfolk here
in King's Landing.
478
00:33:37,643 --> 00:33:40,188
They have grown weary
of the Sea Snake's blockade.
479
00:33:40,313 --> 00:33:42,356
Aemond:
So have we all.
480
00:33:42,482 --> 00:33:43,566
Orwyle:
Many are fleeing the city,
481
00:33:43,691 --> 00:33:47,028
spreading word of
their fear and unrest.
482
00:33:47,361 --> 00:33:50,322
Aemond: Mm, then let
the gates be closed.
483
00:33:50,323 --> 00:33:52,491
♪
484
00:33:52,492 --> 00:33:55,160
No one is to leave or
enter, save with our consent.
485
00:33:55,161 --> 00:33:58,039
Merchants, so forth.
486
00:33:59,874 --> 00:34:02,209
(heavy breathing)
487
00:34:02,210 --> 00:34:04,170
(clearly)
Go to your tasks.
488
00:34:04,879 --> 00:34:07,381
We shall meet again
at first light.
489
00:34:07,382 --> 00:34:11,511
Oh, and someone cut
down the fucking ratcatchers.
490
00:34:14,013 --> 00:34:15,264
(coughs)
491
00:34:15,390 --> 00:34:18,267
- (outside street chatter)
- (baby crying)
492
00:34:18,393 --> 00:34:20,728
Kat:
The city's safe no longer.
493
00:34:22,397 --> 00:34:23,898
There is no food.
494
00:34:24,774 --> 00:34:26,858
Our neighbors are
stealing from each other.
495
00:34:26,859 --> 00:34:28,111
We must get out.
496
00:34:28,236 --> 00:34:30,028
And where would you have us go?
497
00:34:30,029 --> 00:34:32,240
North, maybe? South?
498
00:34:32,907 --> 00:34:34,908
For all we know, every road
leads into the dragons' teeth.
499
00:34:34,909 --> 00:34:37,412
Like the one they carted
through the streets?
500
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:42,458
You think Rhaenyra will let
such an affront go unchallenged?
501
00:34:45,378 --> 00:34:48,089
We should make for Tumbleton.
502
00:34:48,214 --> 00:34:50,133
My brother will have room.
503
00:34:50,258 --> 00:34:52,093
You would have me turn beggar?
504
00:34:53,553 --> 00:34:55,263
(daughter groans)
505
00:34:58,099 --> 00:35:00,892
Are we not beggars already?
506
00:35:00,893 --> 00:35:02,603
Have you been paid
for those machines
507
00:35:02,729 --> 00:35:03,604
you were forced to build?
508
00:35:03,605 --> 00:35:05,314
The king has promised payment.
509
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,443
(hushed)
The king has lied!
510
00:35:12,113 --> 00:35:13,281
(coughs)
511
00:35:19,954 --> 00:35:21,789
By all means...
512
00:35:22,457 --> 00:35:26,002
stay and wait for his
empty promises, husband.
513
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,965
With them, you can feed
the mouths of ghosts.
514
00:35:42,477 --> 00:35:44,687
(dog whimpering)
515
00:35:47,148 --> 00:35:49,150
(indistinct chatter)
516
00:35:56,157 --> 00:35:57,825
(body thuds)
517
00:36:10,296 --> 00:36:12,298
Presumed you'd be here.
518
00:36:12,673 --> 00:36:15,343
Seeing faithfully to the
Prince Regent's commands.
519
00:36:15,885 --> 00:36:17,969
Aemond is the next in line.
520
00:36:17,970 --> 00:36:21,139
- It is the order of things.
- You know what he is...
521
00:36:21,140 --> 00:36:23,184
what he has somehow become.
522
00:36:25,853 --> 00:36:27,312
Has your loyalty faded?
523
00:36:27,313 --> 00:36:29,314
Or does it flourish
only at night
524
00:36:29,315 --> 00:36:32,193
and flee the sunrise
like a moth?
525
00:36:35,822 --> 00:36:37,364
What I saw at Rook's Rest...
526
00:36:37,365 --> 00:36:40,827
What?
What did you see?
527
00:36:44,705 --> 00:36:46,874
Their armor melted.
528
00:36:48,543 --> 00:36:51,212
There were men walking.
They were on fire.
529
00:36:54,549 --> 00:36:56,884
We have given the war
to the dragons.
530
00:36:58,386 --> 00:37:00,054
A dragonrider should lead us.
531
00:37:04,392 --> 00:37:06,602
And what of justice,
of temperance?
532
00:37:06,728 --> 00:37:09,897
Or is strength now
to be our only god?
533
00:37:15,236 --> 00:37:17,238
So you cast me aside.
534
00:37:18,406 --> 00:37:20,408
Have I not spared you?
535
00:37:22,076 --> 00:37:26,038
What we must do
now is... terrible.
536
00:37:27,749 --> 00:37:29,751
Will you preside over it?
537
00:37:30,251 --> 00:37:34,213
- Is this who you are, Alicent?
- I did not ask to be spared.
538
00:37:37,592 --> 00:37:39,802
And I did not give you
leave to speak my name.
539
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,769
(loud chattering)
540
00:37:52,648 --> 00:37:54,566
gold cloak:
Halt!
541
00:37:54,567 --> 00:37:56,819
(crowd shouting)
542
00:38:00,114 --> 00:38:01,282
Stay back!
543
00:38:02,950 --> 00:38:04,911
townsperson:
We've got to get out!
544
00:38:05,578 --> 00:38:07,121
gold cloak:
Somebody get him!
545
00:38:07,789 --> 00:38:09,791
Stay back! No!
546
00:38:09,916 --> 00:38:12,126
Holdfast, holdfast!
547
00:38:12,251 --> 00:38:14,796
- (shouting, fighting)
- Stay back! Hold!
548
00:38:19,467 --> 00:38:20,802
Back!
549
00:38:21,636 --> 00:38:24,764
Disperse, disperse!
550
00:38:25,681 --> 00:38:27,975
By order of Aemond Targaryen,
551
00:38:28,101 --> 00:38:30,853
Prince Regent and
Protector of the Realm...
552
00:38:30,978 --> 00:38:33,271
- Aemond?
- Does he mean the king?
553
00:38:33,272 --> 00:38:35,816
- I don't know.
- You cannot keep us here!
554
00:38:35,817 --> 00:38:38,777
- You are ordered to return to your homes!
- We want meat!
555
00:38:38,778 --> 00:38:40,445
- Meat!
- Meat!
556
00:38:40,446 --> 00:38:42,281
(shouting)
557
00:38:48,496 --> 00:38:50,622
(crowd, gold cloaks clamoring)
558
00:38:50,623 --> 00:38:52,166
gold cloak: Stay back!
559
00:38:54,335 --> 00:38:56,045
(grumbles)
560
00:38:59,841 --> 00:39:04,302
Forrest Frey: Our Lord Grover
Tully has not declared for Rhaenyra.
561
00:39:04,303 --> 00:39:06,638
It means death to bare steel
against your liege,
562
00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:09,016
as I'm sure my prince is aware.
563
00:39:10,518 --> 00:39:12,854
And against your queen?
564
00:39:15,022 --> 00:39:16,023
Hm?
565
00:39:19,527 --> 00:39:23,489
(sighs) Jason Lannister
is marshaling to the west.
566
00:39:24,323 --> 00:39:26,743
We need to check him
before he reaches Riverrun.
567
00:39:27,535 --> 00:39:29,494
That requires passage.
568
00:39:29,495 --> 00:39:31,830
And if Stark's army is too slow?
569
00:39:31,831 --> 00:39:33,665
The wind's rising.
570
00:39:33,666 --> 00:39:35,375
Winter is nigh upon us.
571
00:39:35,376 --> 00:39:36,878
Our hesitance does not lie
572
00:39:37,003 --> 00:39:39,004
in Rhaenyra as Queen,
573
00:39:39,005 --> 00:39:43,383
nor in the ruminations
of Lord Tully, the oaf.
574
00:39:43,384 --> 00:39:46,178
Our fear lies in Vhagar.
575
00:39:46,179 --> 00:39:49,181
You fear a dragon leagues away
576
00:39:49,182 --> 00:39:52,101
when mine own sits
outside your walls?
577
00:39:52,226 --> 00:39:54,228
(wind blowing)
578
00:39:56,189 --> 00:39:59,859
- Do you offer us your protection?
- I do.
579
00:40:06,115 --> 00:40:09,242
And the protection of my uncle.
580
00:40:09,243 --> 00:40:13,623
And Daemon, I'm sure,
has consented to this?
581
00:40:13,748 --> 00:40:15,707
He will do as
his queen commands.
582
00:40:15,708 --> 00:40:17,709
That does lend us some comfort.
583
00:40:17,710 --> 00:40:19,044
Though it occurs
to me that dragons
584
00:40:19,045 --> 00:40:22,548
- cannot be in two places at once.
- Or three.
585
00:40:25,468 --> 00:40:27,387
What do you want?
586
00:40:29,389 --> 00:40:33,308
Larys Strong has been
relieved of his castle.
587
00:40:33,309 --> 00:40:36,813
Does the queen intend
to raise up a new lord?
588
00:40:40,983 --> 00:40:42,568
You want Harrenhal.
589
00:40:53,830 --> 00:40:57,834
(light, tense music playing)
590
00:41:01,295 --> 00:41:06,467
For that... my mother will
want more than your crossing.
591
00:41:08,094 --> 00:41:10,304
What does Her Grace desire?
592
00:41:12,807 --> 00:41:15,143
Bent knees.
593
00:41:16,978 --> 00:41:19,188
(music intensifies)
594
00:41:40,043 --> 00:41:42,378
(music fades out)
595
00:41:42,503 --> 00:41:45,214
(indistinct chatter)
596
00:41:45,882 --> 00:41:48,301
(screams echoing)
597
00:41:54,015 --> 00:41:56,976
(screaming subsides)
598
00:41:57,894 --> 00:42:00,188
(indistinct chatter)
599
00:42:08,863 --> 00:42:10,031
Daemon:
Up.
600
00:42:10,531 --> 00:42:12,324
Alys Rivers:
You were born to wield a sword,
601
00:42:12,325 --> 00:42:16,495
but not so much an axe, perhaps.
602
00:42:16,496 --> 00:42:18,205
Daemon: There are
others who would sit idle
603
00:42:18,206 --> 00:42:20,373
and wait for their claims
to be brought to them.
604
00:42:20,374 --> 00:42:23,835
- That is not my way. - Does splitting
firewood justify what's followed you here?
605
00:42:23,836 --> 00:42:25,879
Let it not be said
that Daemon Targaryen
606
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,173
failed to dirty
his hands in this war.
607
00:42:28,174 --> 00:42:30,343
Oh, let me see them.
608
00:42:31,219 --> 00:42:33,262
- Sit.
- Daemon: Ah.
609
00:42:33,388 --> 00:42:34,555
Sit!
610
00:42:38,059 --> 00:42:41,353
(sighs) I hear strange
things from Bracken land,
611
00:42:41,354 --> 00:42:44,732
from Stone Hedge
and Lambswold and Mory.
612
00:42:45,733 --> 00:42:47,734
There's news, then?
613
00:42:47,735 --> 00:42:49,112
News?
614
00:42:50,279 --> 00:42:51,280
No.
615
00:42:53,241 --> 00:42:56,034
What I hear, I hear in the wind.
616
00:42:56,035 --> 00:42:59,247
- (screams echoing)
- Cries of anguish.
617
00:43:01,082 --> 00:43:03,083
Children being taken
from their mothers,
618
00:43:03,084 --> 00:43:07,045
men coming home to
find their doors unlatched...
619
00:43:07,046 --> 00:43:09,423
their wives carried away.
620
00:43:09,424 --> 00:43:11,550
(screaming subsides)
621
00:43:11,551 --> 00:43:14,303
War is a terrible thing.
622
00:43:14,429 --> 00:43:16,264
This is not war.
623
00:43:16,931 --> 00:43:19,391
These are crimes
against the innocent,
624
00:43:19,392 --> 00:43:21,560
that any upright man
would repudiate.
625
00:43:21,561 --> 00:43:24,396
Surely you haven't mistaken
me for an upright man.
626
00:43:24,397 --> 00:43:26,231
(Alys chuckles)
627
00:43:26,232 --> 00:43:29,776
The Brackens had their
chance to do as I required.
628
00:43:29,777 --> 00:43:32,070
They will perhaps think
better of their decision
629
00:43:32,071 --> 00:43:35,450
if their children's
lives are staked on it.
630
00:43:36,492 --> 00:43:39,287
Is that the kind of
army you would raise?
631
00:43:40,079 --> 00:43:42,290
Men who hate you...
632
00:43:42,790 --> 00:43:44,416
who serve you under duress?
633
00:43:44,417 --> 00:43:47,628
Well, once they agree to
serve me, I'll treat them fairly.
634
00:43:47,754 --> 00:43:48,920
Set an example for the rest
635
00:43:48,921 --> 00:43:50,965
of the Riverlands to follow.
636
00:43:51,090 --> 00:43:53,342
And once again,
in the name of power,
637
00:43:53,468 --> 00:43:56,471
it's the weak and the
women who must endure.
638
00:43:59,140 --> 00:44:02,185
That fool, Aegon,
is unlike to survive.
639
00:44:04,145 --> 00:44:06,522
The realm will suffer
if Aemond One-Eye rules.
640
00:44:07,982 --> 00:44:09,650
You should pray
you never meet him.
641
00:44:10,151 --> 00:44:12,320
He will cut you down
soon as wish you good-day.
642
00:44:12,445 --> 00:44:13,988
I'd heard the same
thing about you.
643
00:44:14,113 --> 00:44:15,113
But I'll cross you no further.
644
00:44:15,114 --> 00:44:16,657
I'm sure your tactics
are, after all,
645
00:44:16,783 --> 00:44:18,617
approved by the queen.
646
00:44:18,618 --> 00:44:21,662
(tense music playing)
647
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,459
She cannot succeed, Alys.
648
00:44:27,001 --> 00:44:29,127
Even if I willed it to be so.
649
00:44:29,128 --> 00:44:31,172
The people who support her
will not be led by her.
650
00:44:31,297 --> 00:44:33,298
They look to a man for strength.
651
00:44:33,299 --> 00:44:34,384
Who's better suited to it?
652
00:44:34,509 --> 00:44:36,968
The Hightowers
with their scheming?
653
00:44:36,969 --> 00:44:39,389
Or Viserys's first true heir?
654
00:44:40,348 --> 00:44:42,849
When I take King's Landing...
655
00:44:42,850 --> 00:44:44,309
Rhaenyra is welcome
to join me there
656
00:44:44,310 --> 00:44:46,854
and take her place by my side.
657
00:44:46,979 --> 00:44:50,983
King and queen...
ruling together.
658
00:44:51,484 --> 00:44:54,194
- And if you lose?
- Then I'll be dead,
659
00:44:54,195 --> 00:44:56,488
and none of this
will be my problem.
660
00:44:56,489 --> 00:44:59,867
It's a pity, don't you think,
that you never knew your mother?
661
00:44:59,992 --> 00:45:02,203
♪
662
00:45:03,371 --> 00:45:05,706
Simon:
A message, Your Grace.
663
00:45:07,500 --> 00:45:08,501
Uh...
664
00:45:10,586 --> 00:45:13,423
uh, fresh news from Stone Hedge.
665
00:45:13,548 --> 00:45:15,674
The Blackwoods have
overwhelmed the Brackens,
666
00:45:15,675 --> 00:45:19,387
and, uh, Lord Amos has
pledged his banner to you.
667
00:45:19,721 --> 00:45:21,889
House Bracken is yours.
668
00:45:23,057 --> 00:45:26,018
Call Ser Willem here so
that I might congratulate him.
669
00:45:26,352 --> 00:45:29,230
The Blackwoods will be
feted in these halls.
670
00:45:30,106 --> 00:45:33,359
- (bird cawing)
- (dog barking)
671
00:45:35,903 --> 00:45:38,114
(waves crashing)
672
00:45:40,408 --> 00:45:42,577
I sought you at High Tide.
673
00:45:43,202 --> 00:45:45,580
I was surprised when
they said you were here.
674
00:45:46,748 --> 00:45:48,750
My castle is a tomb.
675
00:45:49,959 --> 00:45:52,128
Empty.
Haunted.
676
00:45:52,795 --> 00:45:56,132
I am sad to have
missed its highest days.
677
00:45:56,924 --> 00:45:58,216
I imagine your Hall of Nine
678
00:45:58,217 --> 00:46:00,552
filled with lords and kings,
679
00:46:00,553 --> 00:46:03,806
all eager to treat with the
legendary Lord of the Tides.
680
00:46:05,558 --> 00:46:06,725
The wealth you brought back
681
00:46:06,726 --> 00:46:08,060
from Yi Ti and Asshai,
682
00:46:08,061 --> 00:46:11,439
inspiring awe and envy.
683
00:46:13,608 --> 00:46:15,818
I wonder if any of them
knew it was all for her.
684
00:46:24,786 --> 00:46:27,163
Queen Rhaenyra wishes
to name you Hand.
685
00:46:27,288 --> 00:46:29,123
(Corlys sighs)
686
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:34,629
Even the death of my
wife does not content her.
687
00:46:36,631 --> 00:46:39,008
Has she not asked
enough of my house?
688
00:46:39,467 --> 00:46:42,303
It is a sign
of her great esteem.
689
00:46:43,262 --> 00:46:45,181
Or does she think the
position will compensate me
690
00:46:45,306 --> 00:46:47,599
for my loss?
691
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,102
Pledge your peace
to King's Landing, then.
692
00:46:50,103 --> 00:46:52,522
They will accept it
most gleefully.
693
00:46:54,816 --> 00:46:57,777
Rather I would sail
into the West and be lost.
694
00:46:58,861 --> 00:47:00,655
You have done so before,
695
00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:03,699
at great cost to yourself
and those who loved you.
696
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,372
Rhaenys was not
only your wife...
697
00:47:09,497 --> 00:47:11,958
not a thing to be
taken from you.
698
00:47:12,625 --> 00:47:16,003
She was a Targaryen princess.
699
00:47:16,129 --> 00:47:17,337
The Queen Who Never Was.
700
00:47:17,338 --> 00:47:20,132
And she flew to Rook's
Rest of her own will.
701
00:47:20,133 --> 00:47:22,467
- In defense of her kin.
- And she died.
702
00:47:22,468 --> 00:47:24,804
She died as she would
have wished to die...
703
00:47:25,346 --> 00:47:28,516
with honor, in dragonfire.
704
00:47:29,016 --> 00:47:30,476
The way my mother chose...
705
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,523
and the way I myself
wish to meet my end.
706
00:47:39,485 --> 00:47:42,405
(solemn music playing)
707
00:47:42,530 --> 00:47:45,824
I grieve my grandmother
who loved me
708
00:47:45,825 --> 00:47:48,035
but I carry her on with me.

line who never ruled.

And yet...

A dragon will only accept a
dragonlord to ride it. (sighs)

- A Tarly?
- It's better than death and defeat.

I think everybody's reeling.
956
01:06:54,307 --> 01:06:55,725
I mean, Rhaenyra,
not the least of which.
957

And you hear a lot
of this backbiting
958
01:06:58,352 --> 01:06:59,729
and bickering going on
at the table
959
01:06:59,854 --> 01:07:02,564
because everybody is under
a tremendous amount of stress.
960
01:07:02,565 --> 01:07:03,900
They don't know how to react.
961
01:07:04,484 --> 01:07:06,194
But Rhaenyra finds herself
at sea.
962
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:09,906
I mean, that was her last
great female advisor.
963
01:07:10,239 --> 01:07:13,033
Clare: And that's also
when Rhaenyra sees
964
01:07:13,034 --> 01:07:15,077
this huge power vacuum
965
01:07:15,078 --> 01:07:16,579
and knows
she's got to do something.
966
01:07:17,246 --> 01:07:19,248
Queen Rhaenyra wishes
to name you Hand.
967
01:07:19,707 --> 01:07:22,752
Even the death of my wife
does not content her.
968
01:07:23,086 --> 01:07:25,003
She's playing the role
of the great politician here.
969
01:07:25,004 --> 01:07:27,090
The next best thing,
next to having Daemon back,
970
01:07:27,215 --> 01:07:29,508
is one of the most respected men
in Westeros,
971
01:07:29,509 --> 01:07:30,718
and that's the Sea Snake.
972
01:07:31,010 --> 01:07:33,553
And she doesn't exploit
Rhaenys' death to do it.
973
01:07:33,554 --> 01:07:35,889
She knows that the man is there,
looking for purpose,
974
01:07:35,890 --> 01:07:37,266
probably looking
for a bit of vengeance,
975
01:07:37,392 --> 01:07:39,226
and she probably takes
advantage of that in the moment
976
01:07:39,227 --> 01:07:40,728
to try to get him back on side.
977
01:07:42,855 --> 01:07:44,440
The path I walk
has never been trod.
978
01:07:44,607 --> 01:07:48,569
What you cannot do,
let others do for you.
979
01:07:49,112 --> 01:07:51,739
There is more than one way
to fight a war.
980
01:07:52,281 --> 01:07:55,283
I think Mysaria's power
increases in Rhaenys' absence
981
01:07:55,284 --> 01:07:56,743
because I think Rhaenyra
is desperate
982
01:07:56,744 --> 01:07:59,789
and looking for that sympathetic
female voice in her life.
983
01:08:00,289 --> 01:08:02,082
Mysaria's offering another way,
which is,
984
01:08:02,083 --> 01:08:03,960
"I understand the will
of the people,
985
01:08:04,127 --> 01:08:05,919
and we can manipulate that
986
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,379
and play that
to your advantage."
987
01:08:07,380 --> 01:08:09,465
An element
of what we're watching
988
01:08:09,590 --> 01:08:10,757
is propaganda war.
989
01:08:10,758 --> 01:08:12,427
How to win the hearts
of the people.
990
01:08:12,552 --> 01:08:15,262
And that's all learning
that she receives from Mysaria.
991
01:08:15,263 --> 01:08:17,723
Ryan Condal: I don't think this
is something that Rhaenyra
992
01:08:17,724 --> 01:08:18,808
had thought of or considered
993
01:08:18,933 --> 01:08:20,768
until Mysaria brought it
to the fore.
994
01:08:21,060 --> 01:08:22,645
And it's a bit of
a modern concept,
995
01:08:22,770 --> 01:08:25,439
this idea of the, quote-unquote,
"power of the people."
996
01:08:25,440 --> 01:08:27,984
I have an errand
for the Lady Mysaria.
997
01:08:28,151 --> 01:08:30,277
Ryan: In real history,
smart and sometimes cunning
998
01:08:30,278 --> 01:08:34,239
and ruthless medieval sovereigns
did use people and their will
999
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:35,490
to their advantage.
1000
01:08:35,491 --> 01:08:36,743

1001
01:08:37,243 --> 01:08:39,996
The traitor dragon, Meleys!
1002
01:08:40,496 --> 01:08:42,457
townsperson: It is. Look,
they've killed a dragon.
1003
01:08:42,665 --> 01:08:45,126
townsperson 2: Mark my words,
this is a black omen.
1004
01:08:45,251 --> 01:08:47,252
I think this is very...
this is very Cole.
1005
01:08:47,253 --> 01:08:49,129
Clare: His expectations
are so high.
1006
01:08:49,130 --> 01:08:51,841
His expectations are for people
to honor him
1007
01:08:51,966 --> 01:08:53,801
and put him up on a pedestal.
1008
01:08:53,968 --> 01:08:55,302
If you look like you've won
1009
01:08:55,303 --> 01:08:57,304
and you carry yourselves
like you've won,
1010
01:08:57,305 --> 01:08:59,264
and the public don't know
what's really happened,
1011
01:08:59,265 --> 01:09:00,808
then that's what everyone's
going to believe.
1012
01:09:01,142 --> 01:09:03,019
But what happens
is so different.
1013
01:09:03,144 --> 01:09:04,937
Don't they realize we won
the battle?
1014
01:09:05,480 --> 01:09:07,689
Strange victory, if it was one.
1015
01:09:07,690 --> 01:09:09,483
Ryan: The calculation
that he doesn't make
1016
01:09:09,484 --> 01:09:11,193
is how it will land
on the small folk.
1017
01:09:11,194 --> 01:09:13,196
I mean, Meleys is
a beloved dragon
1018
01:09:13,321 --> 01:09:15,322
that probably flew over
that city hundreds of times
1019
01:09:15,323 --> 01:09:17,115
and is seen
as one of these symbols
1020
01:09:17,116 --> 01:09:18,533
of the unshakableness,
1021
01:09:18,534 --> 01:09:21,037
of the invincibility
of the Targaryens.
1022
01:09:21,162 --> 01:09:22,496
I thought the dragons was gods.
1023
01:09:22,497 --> 01:09:23,830
Freddie Fox: You know,
as soon as people can see
1024
01:09:23,831 --> 01:09:26,375
you can kill dragons,
well, then anybody can do it.
1025
01:09:26,501 --> 01:09:29,003
And that... does that mean
that these people that have...
1026
01:09:29,128 --> 01:09:30,629
we've always thought of
as being gods
1027
01:09:30,630 --> 01:09:32,715
because of their ability
to ride dragons
1028
01:09:33,174 --> 01:09:35,635
is actually all
a bit of a mirage?
1029
01:09:36,677 --> 01:09:39,055
Ryan: This is, at best,
a terrible omen
1030
01:09:39,180 --> 01:09:41,682
and at worst, a harbinger
of the things to come.
1031
01:09:46,020 --> 01:09:48,814
The King. Ser Criston,
what befell him?
1032
01:09:48,815 --> 01:09:50,400
His Grace fought valiantly.
1033
01:09:51,067 --> 01:09:53,694
And Aemond?
What was his part in this?
1034
01:09:53,820 --> 01:09:55,029
I could not say.
1035
01:09:55,405 --> 01:09:58,741
Ryan: The dramatic tension
that looms over the episode is,
1036
01:09:58,866 --> 01:10:00,409
what is the state of Aegon?
1037
01:10:00,410 --> 01:10:04,038
And did he survive the end
of episode four?
1038
01:10:04,539 --> 01:10:06,332
And will he survive
through the end of this episode?
1039
01:10:06,666 --> 01:10:08,166
And I think that's
what's kind of looming
1040
01:10:08,167 --> 01:10:10,086
over all these characters,
that big question,
1041
01:10:10,378 --> 01:10:13,172
to show the cost
of letting your sovereign
1042
01:10:13,339 --> 01:10:15,091
get on his dragon
and ride into battle.
1043
01:10:15,258 --> 01:10:17,259
Someone will have to rule
in his stead.
1044
01:10:17,260 --> 01:10:19,052
Ewan Mitchell: I mean,
it's everything he ever wanted.
1045
01:10:19,053 --> 01:10:21,179
With great power
comes great responsibility,
1046
01:10:21,180 --> 01:10:22,932
and he's got to be seen
as someone
1047
01:10:23,057 --> 01:10:24,225
who knows how to wield it.
1048
01:10:24,434 --> 01:10:26,727
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.
1049
01:10:26,728 --> 01:10:28,395
Ryan: I mean,
this is a massive power shift,
1050
01:10:28,396 --> 01:10:29,896
all of a sudden,
at the Green Council.
1051
01:10:29,897 --> 01:10:33,066
It was dramatized by the meeting
where Aemond takes power
1052
01:10:33,067 --> 01:10:34,277
in this very kind of banal way,
1053
01:10:34,444 --> 01:10:36,445
where he just stands up
from the foot of the table,
1054
01:10:36,446 --> 01:10:38,196
takes his ball, and moves over
to the King's seat,
1055
01:10:38,197 --> 01:10:39,574
and puts it down, and sits,
1056
01:10:39,699 --> 01:10:41,241
and then starts
doling out orders
1057
01:10:41,242 --> 01:10:42,909
while everybody,
including Alicent,
1058
01:10:42,910 --> 01:10:43,952
especially Alicent,
1059
01:10:43,953 --> 01:10:45,913
are reeling from the decision.
1060
01:10:46,038 --> 01:10:47,414
And you feel the shift
in that way
1061
01:10:47,415 --> 01:10:49,791
and how different the Red Keep
is going to be
1062
01:10:49,792 --> 01:10:52,211
with Aemond in charge versus
the way it was with Aegon.
1063
01:10:52,587 --> 01:10:54,964
Someone cut down
the fucking ratcatchers.
1064
01:10:55,089 --> 01:10:56,090
(horse whinnies)
1065
01:10:56,549 --> 01:10:58,050
Daemon Targaryen: Our
terms are simple, Lord Bracken.
1066
01:10:58,051 --> 01:11:00,803
Renounce the false King Aegon
as a usurper.
1067
01:11:01,888 --> 01:11:03,222
Bend the knee to me,
1068
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:05,933
or your house burns.
1069
01:11:06,434 --> 01:11:09,102
Daemon approaches life
always trying to hammer
1070
01:11:09,103 --> 01:11:11,271
that square peg
into the round hole,
1071
01:11:11,272 --> 01:11:14,901
and he's just trying to force
his will upon this place.
1072
01:11:15,610 --> 01:11:18,945
I love the image of him
in his full dragon battle armor,
1073
01:11:18,946 --> 01:11:19,989
sitting on the rock,
1074
01:11:20,323 --> 01:11:22,783
and not understanding
what's happened, and saying...
1075
01:11:22,784 --> 01:11:25,410
I did not think they would be
so eager to die.
1076
01:11:25,411 --> 01:11:28,331
And the Riverlands is just
this unwrangleable place to him.
1077
01:11:28,456 --> 01:11:30,123
He's brought his values
1078
01:11:30,124 --> 01:11:32,835
and sort of
Targaryen dragon lord values
1079
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:34,169
into a place that is rich
1080
01:11:34,170 --> 01:11:35,796
with the old gods
and these old ways.
1081
01:11:35,797 --> 01:11:38,423
These people just don't respect
the dragon lords
1082
01:11:38,424 --> 01:11:40,635
the way Daemon is hoping
or used to.
1083
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,304
I see I must begin here
with a lesson in etiquette.
1084
01:11:43,471 --> 01:11:46,932
On the page, I thought, "Yeah,
this is the right territory.
1085
01:11:46,933 --> 01:11:49,267
This is where we should be.
This is where his head's at."
1086
01:11:49,268 --> 01:11:51,603
It's how mental
his kind of state is.
1087
01:11:51,604 --> 01:11:54,523
Clare: Is Daemon trying
to usurp Rhaenyra?
1088
01:11:54,524 --> 01:11:57,693
It's, like, unfair
that he wasn't given the crown,
1089
01:11:57,819 --> 01:12:00,153
that he isn't listened to,
1090
01:12:00,154 --> 01:12:02,031
that he doesn't have that power.
1091
01:12:02,198 --> 01:12:03,990
We just don't know
what he's going to do
1092
01:12:03,991 --> 01:12:06,368
or, ultimately,
how he's going to turn.
1093
01:12:06,369 --> 01:12:08,829
And while I don't think that
anybody could ever be asked
1094
01:12:08,830 --> 01:12:11,331
to believe that he would turn
against Rhaenyra
1095
01:12:11,332 --> 01:12:12,834
and, like, go to war
against her,
1096
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,211
I think we could all believe
that maybe Daemon would just go
1097
01:12:15,336 --> 01:12:17,170
and claim the throne for himself
1098
01:12:17,171 --> 01:12:18,297
and then see what happens.
1099
01:12:18,506 --> 01:12:20,383
What would you call the husband
of the Queen?
1100
01:12:20,550 --> 01:12:22,634
- Well, the King...
- Daemon: There it is, then.
1101
01:12:22,635 --> 01:12:23,678
...consort.
1102
01:12:25,221 --> 01:12:27,557
That last bit seems unnecessary,
don't you think?
