1
00:02:23,730 --> 00:02:26,733
Duty is sacrifice.
2
00:02:27,859 --> 00:02:31,947
It eclipses all things, even blood.
3
00:02:33,615 --> 00:02:36,827
All men of honor must pay its price.
4
00:02:41,415 --> 00:02:45,043
The North owes a great duty
to the Seven Kingdoms.
5
00:02:45,043 --> 00:02:48,296
One older than any oath.
6
00:02:48,296 --> 00:02:52,134
Since the days of the First Men,
we have stood as guardians
7
00:02:52,134 --> 00:02:54,010
against the cold and the dark.
8
00:02:55,554 --> 00:02:57,264
Through its long tradition,
9
00:02:57,264 --> 00:03:01,101
the Night's Watch cultivated
its strength from doomed men
10
00:03:01,101 --> 00:03:03,770
who had their life
as their only possession.
11
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:06,565
But my ancestor, Torrhen Stark,
12
00:03:06,565 --> 00:03:11,111
began a tradition by making
an offering at the onset of winter:
13
00:03:11,111 --> 00:03:16,450
one in 10 men from our household
was to be chosen to fortify the Watch.
14
00:03:19,327 --> 00:03:23,498
This is not a sentence but an honor.
15
00:03:24,708 --> 00:03:28,754
A duty embraced by all
who serve the North.
16
00:03:28,754 --> 00:03:31,047
Even by mine own kin.
17
00:03:36,219 --> 00:03:38,638
The North must stand ready.
18
00:03:40,015 --> 00:03:41,600
Winter is coming.
19
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,852
Coming? What is this, then,
20
00:03:43,852 --> 00:03:45,854
that falls from the skies
and shivers my bones?
21
00:03:45,854 --> 00:03:49,608
This is only a late summer snow,
my prince.
22
00:03:49,608 --> 00:03:52,110
In winter, it will cover all you see,
23
00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:54,571
and all memories of warmth
will be forgotten.
24
00:03:55,697 --> 00:03:57,866
It pleases me to think
that over a century ago
25
00:03:57,866 --> 00:04:00,577
our ancestors treated in this very place.
26
00:04:01,953 --> 00:04:03,914
The Conqueror and the King in the North.
27
00:04:05,665 --> 00:04:09,795
You, at least, had the mercy
not to threaten me with your dragon.
28
00:04:18,011 --> 00:04:19,137
My prince.
29
00:04:19,930 --> 00:04:21,890
- My lord.
- My lord.
30
00:04:22,766 --> 00:04:24,017
M'lord.
31
00:04:24,017 --> 00:04:29,314
Surely the great Torrhen Stark
would've sooner died than bent the knee.
32
00:04:29,314 --> 00:04:32,943
Unless he believed the Conqueror
could bring unity to the Seven Kingdoms.
33
00:04:34,236 --> 00:04:35,946
You are right in that.
34
00:04:35,946 --> 00:04:38,240
That unity is now threatened.
35
00:04:39,157 --> 00:04:41,743
The realm will soon tear itself apart
36
00:04:41,743 --> 00:04:44,496
if men do not remember
the oath sworn to King Viserys
37
00:04:44,955 --> 00:04:47,124
and to his rightful heir.
38
00:04:47,124 --> 00:04:50,669
Starks do not forget their oaths,
my prince.
39
00:04:51,211 --> 00:04:55,966
But you must know that my gaze is
forever torn between north and south.
40
00:04:57,134 --> 00:05:00,429
In winter, my duty to the Wall
is even more dire
41
00:05:00,429 --> 00:05:02,180
than the one I owe to King's Landing.
42
00:05:02,305 --> 00:05:04,474
I need my men here.
43
00:05:04,474 --> 00:05:07,477
Whilst your men guard against
wildlings and weather,
44
00:05:07,477 --> 00:05:10,147
the Hightowers plan to usurp the throne.
45
00:05:11,064 --> 00:05:14,526
If my mother is to defend her claim
to hold the realm united,
46
00:05:14,526 --> 00:05:15,902
she needs an army.
47
00:05:15,902 --> 00:05:16,945
War is coming
48
00:05:16,945 --> 00:05:19,030
to the whole of the realm, my lord.
49
00:05:19,030 --> 00:05:21,950
We cannot wage it without the support
of the North.
50
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,254
My father brought King Jaehaerys
and Queen Alysanne to see the Wall.
51
00:05:34,963 --> 00:05:39,676
His Grace stood at this very outlook
and watched as their dragons,
52
00:05:39,676 --> 00:05:43,764
the greatest power in the world,
refused to cross it.
53
00:05:45,932 --> 00:05:49,770
Do you think my ancestors built
a 700-foot wall of ice
54
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:52,272
to keep out snow and savages?
55
00:05:52,939 --> 00:05:54,691
What does it keep out?
56
00:05:56,818 --> 00:05:58,153
Death.
57
00:06:06,161 --> 00:06:10,791
I have thousands of graybeards
who've already seen too many winters.
58
00:06:10,791 --> 00:06:14,169
They are well-honed.
59
00:06:14,169 --> 00:06:15,879
So they're old?
60
00:06:16,755 --> 00:06:19,549
I can ready them to march at once.
61
00:06:19,549 --> 00:06:23,220
If your graybeards can fight,
the queen will have them.
62
00:06:23,220 --> 00:06:25,097
They will fight hard.
63
00:06:25,097 --> 00:06:26,890
Like Northerners.
64
00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:28,058
My lord?
65
00:06:29,768 --> 00:06:31,269
A raven's arrived.
66
00:06:31,269 --> 00:06:33,188
Urgent news from Dragonstone.
67
00:07:15,772 --> 00:07:19,151
Take your mount again.
We're flying out.
68
00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:25,365
I alone patrol over
a hundred miles of open sea,
69
00:07:25,365 --> 00:07:28,285
endlessly, to hold the blockade.
70
00:07:29,202 --> 00:07:32,706
Meleys must gorge and rest, as must I.
71
00:07:34,207 --> 00:07:36,668
- We're going to King's Landing.
- To what end?
72
00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:41,298
Killing Vhagar.
I cannot face that hoary old bitch alone.
73
00:07:41,298 --> 00:07:45,469
With my dragon and yours together,
we can kill Vhagar and her rider.
74
00:07:45,469 --> 00:07:46,845
Make it a son for a son.
75
00:07:49,181 --> 00:07:51,808
- Was this the queen's command?
- The queen remains absent.
76
00:07:51,808 --> 00:07:53,852
I should be at Harrenhal bending knees,
77
00:07:53,852 --> 00:07:56,563
but I must instead remain here
to wage her war.
78
00:07:56,563 --> 00:07:59,232
Or perhaps, more simply,
to await her return.
79
00:07:59,232 --> 00:08:02,611
She has been gone for days.
Too long. She is exposed.
80
00:08:02,611 --> 00:08:04,905
- She is grieving.
- The mother grieves
81
00:08:04,905 --> 00:08:07,365
as the queen shirks her duties.
82
00:08:09,284 --> 00:08:12,579
It was a raven that brought me news
of Laena's death.
83
00:08:13,580 --> 00:08:15,749
I existed for weeks in torment
84
00:08:16,833 --> 00:08:19,753
refusing to believe what I'd been told.
85
00:08:21,755 --> 00:08:24,466
It was only when I saw my daughter's
mortal remains
86
00:08:24,466 --> 00:08:26,968
that I could begin to mourn her.
87
00:08:29,304 --> 00:08:32,933
A raven has told Rhaenyra
that her son is dead.
88
00:08:34,101 --> 00:08:35,560
She needs to know it for certain.
89
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:37,646
She was a fool to go alone.
90
00:08:38,438 --> 00:08:40,023
What if Aemond were to happen upon her?
91
00:08:40,023 --> 00:08:41,900
Then I would pity Aemond.
92
00:08:44,528 --> 00:08:46,696
The queen was wise to recuse herself.
93
00:08:47,823 --> 00:08:51,868
She has not acted on the vengeful impulse
that others might have.
94
00:08:53,245 --> 00:08:56,373
If you'd have acted when you
had the chance,
95
00:08:56,373 --> 00:08:58,500
Aegon's line would be extinguished.
96
00:09:00,419 --> 00:09:02,254
And Luke would be alive.
97
00:09:09,845 --> 00:09:11,471
Fly with me.
98
00:09:12,264 --> 00:09:15,809
- It is a command.
- Would that you were the king.
99
00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:26,797
M'lord.
100
00:10:29,591 --> 00:10:32,844
It's a marvel she was able to return
from the Stepstones at all.
101
00:10:35,222 --> 00:10:37,015
Barely done, but done.
102
00:10:37,474 --> 00:10:41,186
Seven more ships put out to sea this morn'
to fortify the blockade.
103
00:10:41,186 --> 00:10:43,605
The Gullet is vast,
and we're not like to have the numbers
104
00:10:43,605 --> 00:10:45,899
to cover all that open water.
105
00:10:48,610 --> 00:10:51,780
{\an8}I must have my ship back at sea
to lead the effort.
106
00:10:51,780 --> 00:10:54,408
{\an8}It'll be many weeks yet, I'd wager.
107
00:10:56,326 --> 00:10:57,786
But I'll have a word with my brother
108
00:10:58,829 --> 00:11:02,040
to see what reinforcements
the shipwrights can muster.
109
00:11:11,967 --> 00:11:14,553
The smithy delivered this earlier.
110
00:11:16,805 --> 00:11:18,014
M'lord?
111
00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:29,693
I had this commissioned
for Prince Lucerys.
112
00:11:31,987 --> 00:11:34,948
I was very sorry to hear
about your heir's death.
113
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:37,492
'Twas the blackest of treacheries.
114
00:11:40,787 --> 00:11:44,833
Pardon, m'lord,
if it'll please you, much to do.
115
00:11:45,667 --> 00:11:49,004
They tell me that you are the one
that dragged my body out of the sea.
116
00:11:54,384 --> 00:11:56,011
It was only my duty.
117
00:12:00,557 --> 00:12:03,685
I am indebted to you, Alyn.
118
00:12:43,266 --> 00:12:44,893
Mind your posts!
119
00:12:47,813 --> 00:12:49,815
Keep your focus, men!
120
00:12:53,402 --> 00:12:55,862
- Dragon!
- Dragon!
121
00:12:55,862 --> 00:12:57,280
Arm the scorpion!
122
00:12:57,572 --> 00:12:59,783
Arm the scorpion!
123
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:03,995
Approaching from the southeast!
124
00:13:03,995 --> 00:13:05,288
Get around!
125
00:13:09,793 --> 00:13:11,378
Scorpion ready!
126
00:13:11,378 --> 00:13:13,755
- Halt!
- Halt!
127
00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:17,926
Stand down, it's Vhagar!
128
00:13:18,635 --> 00:13:19,845
Stand down!
129
00:13:19,845 --> 00:13:21,763
Standing down!
130
00:13:48,665 --> 00:13:50,417
Where is Jaehaerys?
131
00:13:51,835 --> 00:13:53,837
Attending his lessons.
132
00:13:54,629 --> 00:13:56,339
And those are where?
133
00:13:56,339 --> 00:13:57,841
What do you need of him?
134
00:13:57,841 --> 00:14:00,010
Taking him to the small council.
135
00:14:00,010 --> 00:14:03,013
He'll be king one day.
He must begin his instruction.
136
00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:05,640
What if he does not want to be king?
137
00:14:06,808 --> 00:14:08,101
Where is he?
138
00:14:08,101 --> 00:14:09,269
The library.
139
00:14:09,644 --> 00:14:12,105
You must not interrupt his custom.
140
00:14:18,862 --> 00:14:20,530
I'm afraid.
141
00:14:22,991 --> 00:14:24,201
Don't be.
142
00:14:24,910 --> 00:14:27,245
They'd be fools to come with Vhagar
protecting the city.
143
00:14:27,704 --> 00:14:29,706
Not the dragons.
144
00:14:30,582 --> 00:14:31,792
The rats.
145
00:14:40,801 --> 00:14:43,220
The queen is an enduring mystery,
146
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:45,388
is she not?
147
00:15:19,256 --> 00:15:20,924
There's a chill in the air.
148
00:15:25,303 --> 00:15:27,514
Summer is well and truly through.
149
00:15:29,015 --> 00:15:31,852
We are expected at the small council,
Your Grace.
150
00:15:47,534 --> 00:15:48,952
We cannot.
151
00:15:49,661 --> 00:15:50,871
Again.
152
00:15:53,874 --> 00:15:55,500
Yes, Your Grace.
153
00:16:00,213 --> 00:16:02,215
If you wouldn't mind?
154
00:16:35,248 --> 00:16:37,042
- Your Grace.
- Good day.
155
00:16:42,047 --> 00:16:44,341
Hello! Jaehaerys must learn
the ways of the court
156
00:16:44,341 --> 00:16:46,384
if he is to rule one day.
157
00:16:46,384 --> 00:16:47,677
Up we go.
158
00:16:49,638 --> 00:16:52,015
Good morrow, my lords.
159
00:16:52,015 --> 00:16:53,100
Mother.
160
00:16:55,268 --> 00:16:57,062
What news?
161
00:16:57,062 --> 00:17:01,775
Our letters to the Vale and to the North
continue to go unanswered.
162
00:17:02,442 --> 00:17:03,443
Cunts.
163
00:17:05,112 --> 00:17:09,116
The Stormlands should be ours
after Prince Aemond's marriage pact
164
00:17:09,241 --> 00:17:11,410
to the Lady Floris Baratheon.
165
00:17:11,410 --> 00:17:13,620
I anticipate their sworn declaration.
166
00:17:14,579 --> 00:17:17,707
My brother is raising
the strength of the West
167
00:17:17,707 --> 00:17:20,836
to mass at the Golden Tooth, but we--
168
00:17:20,836 --> 00:17:24,923
Yeah, thank you, my prince.
That's very helpful.
169
00:17:24,923 --> 00:17:26,466
My nephew, Lord Ormund,
170
00:17:26,466 --> 00:17:29,719
musters his forces
to sally forth from Oldtown.
171
00:17:29,719 --> 00:17:31,263
They expect to march quickly,
172
00:17:31,263 --> 00:17:34,766
meeting little resistance,
until they reach the Riverlands.
173
00:17:34,766 --> 00:17:36,685
My letters to Rhaenyra.
Has there been any answer?
174
00:17:36,810 --> 00:17:39,438
An apology for her dead son?
175
00:17:39,438 --> 00:17:40,981
None, Your Grace.
176
00:17:40,981 --> 00:17:43,233
Between that and their blockade
of the Gullet,
177
00:17:43,233 --> 00:17:45,277
we must presume
that the princess has refused
178
00:17:45,277 --> 00:17:46,778
the offered terms
179
00:17:46,903 --> 00:17:49,406
and that war is now inevitable.
180
00:17:49,406 --> 00:17:51,408
Perhaps Your Grace might lend
181
00:17:51,408 --> 00:17:53,744
- his voice to our outreach...
- Stop! Enough!
182
00:17:54,494 --> 00:17:56,830
...in hopes that new terms
might be negotiated.
183
00:17:56,955 --> 00:17:59,750
Release it at once!
Would someone please?
184
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:02,669
Is the heir to the throne
bothering you, Tyland?
185
00:18:04,254 --> 00:18:07,841
No. No, no, not in the least, Your Grace.
186
00:18:07,841 --> 00:18:10,302
Because I think he wants a ride.
187
00:18:10,302 --> 00:18:11,553
- Your Grace.
- A ride?
188
00:18:11,553 --> 00:18:13,054
A pony ride.
189
00:18:13,180 --> 00:18:14,723
Wouldn't that be fun, Jaehaerys?
190
00:18:14,723 --> 00:18:17,225
Should the Master of Coin
be your royal steed?
191
00:18:26,401 --> 00:18:27,819
Your Grace!
192
00:18:28,737 --> 00:18:30,864
There are important matters to discuss
193
00:18:32,365 --> 00:18:34,117
despite Sir Tyland's interruptions.
194
00:18:35,744 --> 00:18:37,079
Very well.
195
00:18:37,913 --> 00:18:40,332
No time for amusements, Tyland.
196
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:42,959
Your Grace.
197
00:18:44,044 --> 00:18:46,463
Off you go, Jaehaerys. Good boy.
198
00:18:48,965 --> 00:18:50,509
Where were we?
199
00:18:52,094 --> 00:18:56,264
Rhaenyra's blockade has placed
King's Landing under strain.
200
00:18:56,264 --> 00:18:58,642
And those pressures will multiply quickly.
201
00:18:58,642 --> 00:19:00,685
Well, we should've just killed her
when we had the chance.
202
00:19:00,685 --> 00:19:04,397
Regrettably, the opportunity
for surprise has been lost
203
00:19:04,397 --> 00:19:08,151
and, with it, the chance to end
this conflict quickly.
204
00:19:09,528 --> 00:19:11,571
We must play the board before us.
205
00:19:11,571 --> 00:19:14,241
If we are to break
the Sea Snake's blockade,
206
00:19:14,241 --> 00:19:16,910
we will need to bolster both the Lannister
and Hightower navies.
207
00:19:17,035 --> 00:19:19,663
We do have need for a new Master of Ships.
208
00:19:20,372 --> 00:19:22,999
We could offer the title
to the young Lord Dalton Greyjoy.
209
00:19:22,999 --> 00:19:25,210
Aemond. What is your business here?
210
00:19:25,210 --> 00:19:26,461
The king summoned me.
211
00:19:26,461 --> 00:19:28,255
You do not have a seat at this council.
212
00:19:28,255 --> 00:19:31,550
Aemond is my closest blood
and our best sword.
213
00:19:31,550 --> 00:19:33,051
I welcome him.
214
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,721
Path to King's Landing
is through the Riverlands.
215
00:19:36,721 --> 00:19:40,392
We must establish a toehold there,
at Harrenhal.
216
00:19:40,392 --> 00:19:42,394
The Riverlords will either declare for me
217
00:19:42,394 --> 00:19:45,439
or they will meet Vhagar
and Sunfyre together.
218
00:19:45,439 --> 00:19:47,774
And we can burn the blockade
while we're at it.
219
00:19:47,774 --> 00:19:49,735
- Rhaenyra has dragons as well.
- Mine are bigger.
220
00:19:49,735 --> 00:19:52,195
If we lose the dragons to war,
there'll be no calling them back.
221
00:19:52,195 --> 00:19:53,822
- We must proceed cautiously.
- No.
222
00:19:53,822 --> 00:19:57,909
Fat, old Lord Tully will either
raise my banner or see his burn.
223
00:19:58,034 --> 00:19:59,995
We should fly to Riverrun.
224
00:20:00,537 --> 00:20:03,623
You are the king, Your Grace.
You must not put yourself at risk.
225
00:20:03,623 --> 00:20:06,376
And Vhagar is needed here
to deter Rhaenyra from attacking
226
00:20:06,376 --> 00:20:09,004
in retribution for the death of her son.
227
00:20:10,130 --> 00:20:14,426
Errors were made in the hours
following King Viserys's death.
228
00:20:14,426 --> 00:20:16,052
We mustn't compound them.
229
00:20:18,305 --> 00:20:20,891
You've already demonstrated
your might, Your Grace.
230
00:20:20,891 --> 00:20:25,187
We must now favor patience and restraint.
231
00:20:25,187 --> 00:20:27,022
I send ravens by the hour.
232
00:20:27,022 --> 00:20:31,401
Many and more houses
will declare for you in time.
233
00:20:31,401 --> 00:20:34,613
History and precedent
will come to your side.
234
00:20:42,412 --> 00:20:43,580
Good morrow, Your Grace.
235
00:20:43,580 --> 00:20:45,248
Good morrow, Lord Larys.
236
00:20:45,874 --> 00:20:49,002
I had come earlier to have a word
before the small council convened,
237
00:20:49,002 --> 00:20:53,590
but your handmaiden said
that you were indisposed.
238
00:20:56,843 --> 00:20:58,887
What is it you wish to discuss?
239
00:21:00,931 --> 00:21:04,351
I have completed questioning
the whole of the castle staff.
240
00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:07,312
They produced rather interesting details
241
00:21:07,312 --> 00:21:10,774
but I am satisfied I have exposed
all who betrayed our trust.
242
00:21:13,860 --> 00:21:14,986
And what of them?
243
00:21:16,530 --> 00:21:18,740
They no longer breathe our air.
244
00:21:20,909 --> 00:21:23,745
I have chosen your new staff personally.
245
00:21:42,931 --> 00:21:45,225
Give me that.
246
00:21:45,225 --> 00:21:46,560
Your Grace?
247
00:21:47,227 --> 00:21:49,229
Just leave me.
248
00:21:50,897 --> 00:21:52,941
Just leave me.
249
00:22:35,776 --> 00:22:37,944
- It's a dragon wing!
- Let's have a look!
250
00:22:39,571 --> 00:22:41,573
- It's a wing.
- Who cares what it is.
251
00:22:42,491 --> 00:22:44,117
Dragon!
252
00:24:10,829 --> 00:24:13,999
All hail King Aegon!
253
00:24:13,999 --> 00:24:16,460
"Aegon the Magnanimous,"
254
00:24:16,460 --> 00:24:21,548
Second of His Name, King of the Andals,
and the Rhoynar, and the First Men,
255
00:24:21,548 --> 00:24:24,801
Lord of the Seven Kingdoms,
and Protector of the Realm.
256
00:24:24,801 --> 00:24:26,887
Hail King Aegon!
257
00:24:27,596 --> 00:24:29,222
"The Magnanimous"?
258
00:24:32,934 --> 00:24:34,144
Your Grace.
259
00:24:34,770 --> 00:24:37,814
Let's have the first petition,
my good Lord Hand.
260
00:24:42,235 --> 00:24:44,029
Good morrow, my-- Your Grace.
261
00:24:44,029 --> 00:24:47,491
It's alright.
There's no reason to be nervous.
262
00:24:47,491 --> 00:24:48,658
What's your name?
263
00:24:48,658 --> 00:24:50,911
Gr-- Jerard, Your Grace.
264
00:24:50,911 --> 00:24:55,207
Good morrow, Jerard.
And how might your king be of service?
265
00:24:55,707 --> 00:24:57,375
'Tis my flock.
266
00:24:58,376 --> 00:25:02,005
A tenth of them taken by
267
00:25:04,007 --> 00:25:09,137
the Crown on, on the cusp of winter.
268
00:25:09,137 --> 00:25:12,182
- If I'd had the time to plan--
- We should return them.
269
00:25:15,268 --> 00:25:16,728
Your Grace?
270
00:25:16,728 --> 00:25:18,355
Well, you need your goats
for the winter, don't you?
271
00:25:18,355 --> 00:25:21,191
- Sheep, Your Grace.
- Sheep, even better.
272
00:25:21,191 --> 00:25:23,610
I shall make your flock of sheep whole.
273
00:25:25,445 --> 00:25:27,864
We already made a promise
to all the Crownlands
274
00:25:27,864 --> 00:25:32,536
that a tithing of livestock
would be necessary to sustain the dragons
275
00:25:32,536 --> 00:25:37,082
for their increased activity
and, pray not, eventual fighting.
276
00:25:37,749 --> 00:25:39,793
Right. Right.
277
00:25:39,793 --> 00:25:42,838
Perhaps we could just return his sheep.
He came all this way.
278
00:25:42,838 --> 00:25:45,507
If you return one herder's sheep,
Your Grace,
279
00:25:45,507 --> 00:25:47,926
you will soon find them all
at the foot of your throne
280
00:25:47,926 --> 00:25:49,845
expecting the same.
281
00:25:50,387 --> 00:25:51,847
They won't know.
282
00:25:51,847 --> 00:25:58,145
When the king speaks,
Your Grace, all hear it.
283
00:26:06,737 --> 00:26:12,117
After further thought, I have decided that
I cannot restore your sheep.
284
00:26:12,117 --> 00:26:15,328
If war were to break out,
my dragons will require feed.
285
00:26:15,328 --> 00:26:16,830
Bring the next.
286
00:26:18,248 --> 00:26:21,835
Salts always run scarce
on the road to winter,
287
00:26:21,835 --> 00:26:22,878
Your Grace.
288
00:26:22,878 --> 00:26:26,298
We rely on ships from Essos
for our supply.
289
00:26:26,298 --> 00:26:29,551
But now, with a blockade in place
and war threatening--
290
00:26:29,551 --> 00:26:31,595
Yeah, that treasonous
blockade won't last long.
291
00:26:31,595 --> 00:26:34,139
I plan to send Vhagar to burn it to ash.
292
00:26:34,139 --> 00:26:35,474
Bring the next.
293
00:26:39,519 --> 00:26:41,146
Hugh, Your Grace.
294
00:26:44,608 --> 00:26:48,361
The smiths are all proud
to support Your Grace against Rhaenyra.
295
00:26:52,115 --> 00:26:53,075
But?
296
00:26:53,075 --> 00:26:54,367
But...
297
00:26:56,078 --> 00:26:58,080
iron costs have grown.
298
00:26:58,997 --> 00:27:02,417
A lone scorpion takes weeks to build.
299
00:27:03,210 --> 00:27:04,878
To put it simply, we are struggling.
300
00:27:06,254 --> 00:27:10,675
If we could but have
the Crown's coin before we started work,
301
00:27:10,675 --> 00:27:12,677
it would bring great relief.
302
00:27:12,677 --> 00:27:16,056
Not just to me, but to all the smiths
serving your cause.
303
00:27:20,644 --> 00:27:23,188
You shall be paid and paid well.
304
00:27:24,106 --> 00:27:26,316
My army cannot win a war
without your weapons.
305
00:27:26,316 --> 00:27:28,360
You should continue their making.
306
00:27:28,777 --> 00:27:32,572
Our victory depends on the efforts
of the smallfolk.
307
00:27:34,991 --> 00:27:37,244
You have my most sincere gratitude,
Your Grace.
308
00:27:38,161 --> 00:27:40,163
I'll hear the next petition.
309
00:27:47,754 --> 00:27:50,590
Your Grace, it filled my heart
to see you on the Iron Throne.
310
00:27:51,299 --> 00:27:53,802
I was only a boy when Jaehaerys
last graced the seat,
311
00:27:53,802 --> 00:27:55,262
but you brought forth memories of him,
312
00:27:55,262 --> 00:27:57,389
and you have such a deft touch
with the smallfolk,
313
00:27:57,389 --> 00:27:59,224
just as your father did.
314
00:27:59,224 --> 00:28:00,725
Thank you, my lord.
315
00:28:01,226 --> 00:28:03,437
I wonder, do you have a moment
for a quiet word?
316
00:28:09,526 --> 00:28:12,863
It is the Hand's wont to keep
a firm grip on things.
317
00:28:15,157 --> 00:28:17,075
He controlled your father the same way.
318
00:28:18,827 --> 00:28:21,413
Viserys had a certain reputation
as being pliable.
319
00:28:21,413 --> 00:28:22,914
I am aware.
320
00:28:24,583 --> 00:28:26,877
I would think, as we find ourselves
321
00:28:26,877 --> 00:28:29,129
standing within a hair's breadth of war,
322
00:28:29,129 --> 00:28:32,007
that you would wish
to be viewed differently.
323
00:28:35,343 --> 00:28:36,678
How?
324
00:28:36,678 --> 00:28:38,430
Otto Hightower
325
00:28:39,848 --> 00:28:42,768
was your father's Hand, Your Grace.
326
00:28:59,409 --> 00:29:00,619
Daughter.
327
00:29:01,828 --> 00:29:04,456
I requested an audience hours ago.
328
00:29:05,749 --> 00:29:09,586
There were many petitions.
329
00:29:12,255 --> 00:29:14,091
I find myself wondering,
330
00:29:15,258 --> 00:29:17,052
do we pursue the same end?
331
00:29:19,137 --> 00:29:22,557
I must admit, there are days where
I myself can't be sure.
332
00:29:24,309 --> 00:29:26,311
I shall tell you mine.
333
00:29:27,938 --> 00:29:29,397
It's victory.
334
00:29:29,397 --> 00:29:32,234
And how would you define "victory"?
335
00:29:32,234 --> 00:29:34,194
Rhaenyra bending the knee
336
00:29:34,194 --> 00:29:36,863
and Aegon sitting
the Iron Throne, in peace.
337
00:29:37,656 --> 00:29:39,116
As Viserys wished.
338
00:29:39,116 --> 00:29:42,786
Well, if that's how you describe it,
then we are aligned.
339
00:29:42,786 --> 00:29:44,913
- Then be my ally.
- I am.
340
00:29:44,913 --> 00:29:48,750
An ally would not repeatedly cut my legs
from beneath me at that table of men!
341
00:29:48,750 --> 00:29:52,421
- I sit there and I feel your anger.
- Frustration.
342
00:29:52,421 --> 00:29:54,881
These critical days
since Viserys's passing
343
00:29:54,881 --> 00:29:57,801
- haven't gone to plan.
- That's not my fault.
344
00:29:59,344 --> 00:30:01,847
My sons both see you as the great example.
345
00:30:02,389 --> 00:30:03,557
The Hand to three kings.
346
00:30:05,308 --> 00:30:08,603
Aegon is ever-eager to prove himself
and Aemond...
347
00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:11,857
Aemond is angry.
348
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,986
Rhaenyra's son took his eye
and was never punished for it.
349
00:30:15,986 --> 00:30:20,115
- What he did, however vicious--
- The caprice of youth.
350
00:30:24,745 --> 00:30:26,538
I could only hope.
351
00:30:26,538 --> 00:30:28,707
Aemond erred.
352
00:30:29,791 --> 00:30:33,211
But he is fiercely loyal.
He wishes to please.
353
00:30:33,211 --> 00:30:36,548
And Aegon still heeds me.
In private, at least.
354
00:30:38,091 --> 00:30:41,344
But if you undermine my voice,
both those boys will grow deaf to it.
355
00:30:49,770 --> 00:30:51,646
I hadn't seen it that way.
356
00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:56,485
We only need to mind Aegon
until the novelty of rule is spent.
357
00:30:57,402 --> 00:31:00,489
Once he tires of it, you and I can steer
our cause to victory.
358
00:31:00,489 --> 00:31:03,200
A fine strategy, daughter.
359
00:31:03,867 --> 00:31:09,498
But you must accept that the path
to victory now is one of violence.
360
00:31:10,499 --> 00:31:12,125
I know it.
361
00:31:15,879 --> 00:31:18,090
But that does not mean it must be wanton.
362
00:31:20,425 --> 00:31:21,426
No.
363
00:31:38,235 --> 00:31:40,487
Prepare to be boarded!
364
00:31:43,115 --> 00:31:46,243
By the order of Lord Corlys Velaryon!
365
00:31:46,243 --> 00:31:48,954
Search the hold for stowaways!
366
00:32:16,523 --> 00:32:17,524
You.
367
00:32:20,068 --> 00:32:23,280
When last we met, there were two of you.
368
00:32:25,532 --> 00:32:26,992
"The White Worm."
369
00:32:26,992 --> 00:32:29,578
Did you think I would
wither in your absence?
370
00:32:29,578 --> 00:32:31,621
I did not think you
would flower a traitor.
371
00:32:31,621 --> 00:32:34,958
You speak of highborn games.
I am common-born.
372
00:32:34,958 --> 00:32:37,461
How long have you been selling secrets
to Otto Hightower?
373
00:32:37,461 --> 00:32:39,296
As long as he had gold to pay for them.
374
00:32:41,923 --> 00:32:46,136
Who sent you fleeing from King's Landing
in such disrepair, hm?
375
00:32:47,679 --> 00:32:49,639
You put Aegon on the throne.
376
00:32:49,639 --> 00:32:51,767
That was the Hightowers' conspiracy.
377
00:32:51,767 --> 00:32:54,311
I merely profited from knowing
Aegon's movements.
378
00:32:54,311 --> 00:32:55,896
But you delivered him.
379
00:32:55,896 --> 00:32:58,815
He would've returned home eventually
for gold and for respite,
380
00:32:58,815 --> 00:32:59,983
as he always does.
381
00:32:59,983 --> 00:33:03,111
I simply, simply sped the business along.
382
00:33:03,111 --> 00:33:05,155
"Business" that ended with the theft
of the queen's throne
383
00:33:05,155 --> 00:33:06,406
and the murder of her son.
384
00:33:06,406 --> 00:33:08,366
You only blame me
because your true enemies
385
00:33:08,366 --> 00:33:10,077
are out of reach.
386
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:14,581
My arrangement with the Hand
was purely transactional.
387
00:33:14,581 --> 00:33:16,583
I held no loyalty to him.
388
00:33:17,292 --> 00:33:19,211
Certainly do not now.
389
00:33:19,795 --> 00:33:22,923
Otto Hightower was to me
as I am to your noble ilk,
390
00:33:22,923 --> 00:33:24,508
fodder to be cast off.
391
00:33:24,508 --> 00:33:26,176
What else do you know of him? His plans?
392
00:33:26,176 --> 00:33:27,886
Little and less.
393
00:33:31,098 --> 00:33:34,309
I possess nothing of value to you, Daemon.
394
00:33:57,332 --> 00:33:58,792
Have her moved to the cells.
395
00:33:58,792 --> 00:34:01,503
She is to be treated
as a traitor to the crown.
396
00:34:04,256 --> 00:34:07,843
Forgive me, my prince,
but the lady speaks the truth.
397
00:34:07,843 --> 00:34:10,637
- She was no agent of the Hightowers.
- What is it to you?
398
00:34:11,721 --> 00:34:14,182
- A matter of honor.
- Was it honor that made you stand by
399
00:34:14,182 --> 00:34:17,144
and watch as the Hightowers
usurped the throne?
400
00:34:17,144 --> 00:34:19,062
You and your traitorous twin.
401
00:34:19,771 --> 00:34:21,773
No, my prince.
402
00:34:23,150 --> 00:34:24,568
I'm shamed by it.
403
00:34:25,193 --> 00:34:29,322
That's why I abandoned the Kingsguard,
and my brother, and came here.
404
00:34:29,322 --> 00:34:31,032
I don't care.
405
00:34:31,908 --> 00:34:34,786
Aegon was in your grasp.
You should've killed him yourself.
406
00:34:34,786 --> 00:34:37,456
Arryk and I were named
to the Kingsguard at just 8 and 10.
407
00:34:38,415 --> 00:34:42,419
And we swore the same oath:
to defend the whole of the royal family.
408
00:34:44,129 --> 00:34:47,132
So what were we to do
when they turned against one another?
409
00:35:16,036 --> 00:35:20,332
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen,
the First of Her Name,
410
00:35:20,332 --> 00:35:24,711
Queen of the Andals, and the Rhoynar,
and the First Men,
411
00:35:24,711 --> 00:35:28,799
Lady of the Seven Kingdoms,
and Protector of the Realm.
412
00:35:34,846 --> 00:35:37,057
Did you find what you needed?
413
00:35:45,649 --> 00:35:48,276
Your council stands
at the ready, Your Grace.
414
00:35:52,447 --> 00:35:56,910
I will fly to Harrenhal at your command
and set our toehold in the Riverlands.
415
00:35:57,911 --> 00:36:00,080
Your Grace, my lord husband's
blockade of the Gullet
416
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,123
moves into place.
417
00:36:01,123 --> 00:36:04,668
All seaborne travel and trade
to King's Landing will soon be cut off.
418
00:36:10,715 --> 00:36:13,927
I want Aemond Targaryen.
419
00:37:02,350 --> 00:37:05,061
In your years as a merchant of gossip,
420
00:37:05,061 --> 00:37:07,647
you surely accumulated spies
within the Red Keep.
421
00:37:07,647 --> 00:37:09,900
Servants who knew the comings and goings.
422
00:37:09,900 --> 00:37:12,069
Scheme with someone else, Daemon.
423
00:37:12,069 --> 00:37:15,363
I was once in your thrall, but no longer.
424
00:37:16,406 --> 00:37:18,241
A transaction, then.
425
00:37:18,992 --> 00:37:22,204
Your knowledge in exchange
for your freedom.
426
00:37:49,523 --> 00:37:50,732
Your Grace.
427
00:37:54,486 --> 00:37:58,073
Lady Jeyne Arryn has pledged her support
428
00:37:58,073 --> 00:38:01,076
in exchange for a dragon
to guard the Vale.
429
00:38:03,829 --> 00:38:06,832
And Lord Cregan Stark
430
00:38:09,709 --> 00:38:12,546
has promised 2,000 men--
431
00:38:57,924 --> 00:38:59,551
Alyrie Florent.
432
00:39:29,623 --> 00:39:31,625
Viserys Targaryen.
433
00:40:29,766 --> 00:40:31,268
Lucerys Velaryon.
434
00:41:26,031 --> 00:41:27,240
A tribute.
435
00:41:36,041 --> 00:41:37,626
Commander?
436
00:41:37,626 --> 00:41:39,711
Never gone for long.
437
00:41:41,505 --> 00:41:44,591
I'm told you bear a mislike
for the Hightowers.
438
00:41:46,009 --> 00:41:47,886
Fuck the Hightowers.
439
00:41:53,558 --> 00:41:55,185
Keep walking.
440
00:41:58,980 --> 00:42:00,982
Don't make trouble.
441
00:42:08,865 --> 00:42:12,327
{\an8}The White Worm said
you're one of Aegon's ratcatchers.
442
00:42:12,327 --> 00:42:13,829
{\an8}You must be busy.
443
00:42:13,829 --> 00:42:16,081
{\an8}That castle positively
crawls with them now.
444
00:42:17,457 --> 00:42:19,418
I heard the White Worm were dead.
445
00:42:19,418 --> 00:42:21,586
Her ghost told me you were a betting man.
446
00:42:21,586 --> 00:42:22,754
Fighting pits?
447
00:42:22,754 --> 00:42:26,299
Dogs, and bones.
448
00:42:27,050 --> 00:42:28,802
How deep are your debts?
449
00:42:36,268 --> 00:42:38,061
I was also given to understand
that you possess
450
00:42:38,061 --> 00:42:40,147
a unique knowledge of the Red Keep.
451
00:42:40,147 --> 00:42:42,274
Maegor's tunnels.
452
00:42:42,274 --> 00:42:44,276
Great big rat's nest, it is.
453
00:42:45,402 --> 00:42:48,530
I know them better than the shape
of my own cock.
454
00:42:51,074 --> 00:42:52,284
This is my friend.
455
00:42:53,618 --> 00:42:56,037
Tonight, he's going to be your friend.
456
00:42:56,830 --> 00:42:59,833
You're to find and slay
the Prince Aemond Targaryen.
457
00:43:01,126 --> 00:43:03,628
He has silver hair and one eye.
458
00:43:03,628 --> 00:43:05,464
Should be easy enough to find.
459
00:43:07,799 --> 00:43:09,384
But I understand
he's quite good in a fight.
460
00:43:09,384 --> 00:43:11,303
You'll want to take caution.
461
00:43:12,929 --> 00:43:16,057
That's one half.
You'll get the other when it's done.
462
00:43:28,445 --> 00:43:29,654
Alright.
463
00:43:31,823 --> 00:43:33,575
What if we can't find him?
464
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,625
We've wasted precious days in this war
of quills and ravens.
465
00:43:41,625 --> 00:43:43,710
Words are wind.
466
00:43:44,586 --> 00:43:46,880
You should be leading the van
467
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,466
and I should be flying cover on Vhagar.
468
00:43:49,466 --> 00:43:52,928
No castle would dare to raise
Rhaenyra's banner against us.
469
00:43:52,928 --> 00:43:55,972
We would bring the whole of the Crownlands
to heel in weeks.
470
00:43:55,972 --> 00:43:58,850
Well, mayhaps we could petition the king,
471
00:43:58,850 --> 00:44:01,937
privately, to send us out.
472
00:44:03,730 --> 00:44:05,649
Rosby and Stokeworth,
473
00:44:05,649 --> 00:44:09,027
small castles right in the shadow
of King's Landing.
474
00:44:09,027 --> 00:44:10,612
They would not want us for enemies.
475
00:44:10,612 --> 00:44:12,823
We could add their levies to our own.
476
00:44:14,157 --> 00:44:16,618
Our host growing as we advance.
477
00:44:19,162 --> 00:44:21,164
It is a canny scheme.
478
00:44:21,790 --> 00:44:23,375
But moot.
479
00:44:23,375 --> 00:44:26,420
My brother is hostage
to my grandsire and mother
480
00:44:26,420 --> 00:44:29,965
and they tell him that a war of dragons
can yet be avoided.
481
00:44:29,965 --> 00:44:33,176
'Tis inevitable. They must see that.
482
00:44:33,176 --> 00:44:35,429
Otto fears to upset the order of things.
483
00:44:36,721 --> 00:44:38,723
And Alicent is simply...
484
00:44:39,933 --> 00:44:41,184
angry.
485
00:44:42,227 --> 00:44:45,689
- Angry?
- She blames me for starting this war
486
00:44:45,689 --> 00:44:49,776
after she plotted with my father's council
to usurp his throne.
487
00:44:51,570 --> 00:44:54,781
"Her Grace" speaks with two tongues.
488
00:44:58,618 --> 00:45:00,871
She has a gentle heart.
489
00:45:01,496 --> 00:45:04,124
And Rhaenyra is a cunning spider.
490
00:45:04,583 --> 00:45:08,545
Long ago, she drew Alicent into her web,
491
00:45:08,545 --> 00:45:10,464
intoxicated her.
492
00:45:12,007 --> 00:45:13,300
It is not your mother's fault.
493
00:45:15,427 --> 00:45:17,637
She holds love for our enemy.
494
00:45:19,514 --> 00:45:21,516
That makes her a fool.
495
00:45:38,116 --> 00:45:39,326
Lord Hand.
496
00:45:49,169 --> 00:45:51,338
Return to your post, Lord Commander.
497
00:45:51,338 --> 00:45:53,423
I must have a word with the prince.
498
00:46:07,354 --> 00:46:09,064
It would concern me, grandson,
499
00:46:09,064 --> 00:46:14,277
if plans were being considered
beyond the ears of your king and his Hand.
500
00:46:14,945 --> 00:46:17,030
You have a zeal to act. I understand.
501
00:46:17,030 --> 00:46:18,490
I was young once myself--
502
00:46:18,490 --> 00:46:21,576
I only wish to serve my king and my house.
503
00:46:27,749 --> 00:46:29,334
You and Vhagar
504
00:46:29,334 --> 00:46:32,421
are the greatest single
power in the realm.
505
00:46:34,631 --> 00:46:38,135
If it wasn't obvious before,
it certainly is now.
506
00:46:43,098 --> 00:46:46,101
But there are many pieces at play here
507
00:46:47,227 --> 00:46:50,063
some of which you can't yet see.
508
00:46:50,939 --> 00:46:54,651
I promise you, Aemond, you will have
all the vengeance that you seek
509
00:46:54,651 --> 00:46:58,155
but you must keep a grip on your impulses.
510
00:47:00,866 --> 00:47:03,493
We both know that your brother cannot.
511
00:47:21,386 --> 00:47:22,345
Alright.
512
00:47:55,754 --> 00:47:56,963
Take that.
513
00:48:02,594 --> 00:48:04,221
Bring the dog.
514
00:48:31,081 --> 00:48:33,375
I need to be a symbol for the smallfolk,
515
00:48:33,375 --> 00:48:35,836
- as well as the nobility.
- Wait.
516
00:48:35,836 --> 00:48:38,588
You could always be "Aegon the Strong."
517
00:48:38,588 --> 00:48:40,382
My nephew's already taken that one.
518
00:48:40,382 --> 00:48:42,175
Well, which would Your Grace prefer?
519
00:48:42,175 --> 00:48:44,052
- It's the king.
- To be loved or feared?
520
00:48:44,052 --> 00:48:45,512
I need to be both.
521
00:48:45,512 --> 00:48:50,475
My mother and grandsire
mind me like some helpless duckling.
522
00:48:50,475 --> 00:48:53,645
Oh, well, you're the king.
Who gives a shit what they say?
523
00:48:53,645 --> 00:48:56,398
My brother, at least, knows his place.
524
00:48:56,398 --> 00:48:58,525
He's as loyal as a hound.
525
00:48:58,525 --> 00:49:01,987
I can set him and his dragon
on my foes at will.
526
00:49:03,822 --> 00:49:05,866
- Keep your eyes down.
- I need a style that
527
00:49:05,866 --> 00:49:09,244
demonstrates power and commands respect.
528
00:49:09,244 --> 00:49:12,497
No one knows what "magnanimous" means.
529
00:49:12,497 --> 00:49:15,000
You could be "Aegon the Generous" then.
530
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,252
- That would charm the smallfolk.
- I like that.
531
00:49:17,252 --> 00:49:18,712
Is there more strong wine?
532
00:49:18,712 --> 00:49:21,089
-"Aegon the Dragonheart."
- Better.
533
00:49:21,882 --> 00:49:23,258
"Aegon the Dragoncock!"
534
00:49:23,258 --> 00:49:27,429
Yes, yes! Yeah, the untamable beast!
535
00:49:50,660 --> 00:49:52,454
How do we get upstairs?
536
00:49:53,455 --> 00:49:54,873
The royals live up there.
537
00:49:56,458 --> 00:49:57,626
Right.
538
00:49:57,626 --> 00:49:59,044
Well, it's off limits, it is.
539
00:49:59,628 --> 00:50:01,922
Different group of ratcatchers
work the upstairs.
540
00:50:01,922 --> 00:50:05,926
If we're to kill a royal fucking prince,
where do you think we're gonna find him?
541
00:50:07,052 --> 00:50:08,929
I got you in the castle.
542
00:50:08,929 --> 00:50:10,722
I thought the rest was your bit.
543
00:50:13,433 --> 00:50:17,229
I could end you right here,
take the rest of the gold meself.
544
00:50:20,148 --> 00:50:24,569
I know a way upstairs.
I just don't know my way 'round.
545
00:50:27,406 --> 00:50:29,032
Show me.
546
00:50:30,826 --> 00:50:32,244
Fuck off.
547
00:50:39,501 --> 00:50:40,710
This way.
548
00:51:01,606 --> 00:51:03,608
The royals live on this level.
549
00:51:22,419 --> 00:51:24,045
No one's here.
550
00:51:24,671 --> 00:51:26,381
We need to keep looking.
551
00:51:26,381 --> 00:51:28,925
I've told ya,
I'm not supposed to be up here.
552
00:51:28,925 --> 00:51:31,011
Did you not hear the prince?
553
00:51:31,970 --> 00:51:34,973
No head, no gold.
554
00:51:41,521 --> 00:51:43,106
Set a trap.
555
00:51:44,524 --> 00:51:45,692
For appearances.
556
00:51:46,902 --> 00:51:48,737
I'll search the next room.
557
00:52:21,978 --> 00:52:23,271
For the rats.
558
00:52:55,345 --> 00:52:56,430
Quiet.
559
00:52:58,557 --> 00:53:00,183
Quiet.
560
00:53:03,353 --> 00:53:05,355
Stay still.
561
00:53:09,735 --> 00:53:11,445
Who the fuck is she?
562
00:53:12,779 --> 00:53:14,781
She's the queen, she is.
563
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:18,034
"A son for a son," he said.
564
00:53:18,034 --> 00:53:20,495
Well, does she look like
a fucking son to you?
565
00:53:22,330 --> 00:53:23,790
Over there.
566
00:53:33,258 --> 00:53:35,218
We need to get our head and get out.
567
00:53:42,976 --> 00:53:46,062
They both look the same.
Which one's the boy?
568
00:53:46,062 --> 00:53:49,566
- Maybe that one.
- Well, look for a cock.
569
00:53:53,862 --> 00:53:55,197
The mother knows.
570
00:53:57,449 --> 00:54:02,704
Do anything but what I ask,
and I'll bleed the whole lot of ya.
571
00:54:09,336 --> 00:54:10,545
Which?
572
00:54:13,548 --> 00:54:15,258
I have a necklace.
573
00:54:17,385 --> 00:54:19,096
It's of great value.
574
00:54:22,766 --> 00:54:24,518
That's not a son.
575
00:54:48,041 --> 00:54:49,334
Wait.
576
00:54:50,377 --> 00:54:51,378
It's the other one.
577
00:54:51,378 --> 00:54:53,839
She's not gonna
give up the king's heir that easy.
578
00:55:03,974 --> 00:55:04,975
No.
579
00:55:06,643 --> 00:55:08,270
She's telling true.
580
00:55:11,982 --> 00:55:12,983
Hold him down.
581
00:55:17,028 --> 00:55:18,029
No.
582
00:56:21,635 --> 00:56:23,261
Helaena!
583
00:56:28,016 --> 00:56:29,643
What's happened?
584
00:56:33,897 --> 00:56:35,899
They killed the boy.
