1
00:02:29,726 --> 00:02:31,476
There you are.
2
00:02:41,071 --> 00:02:44,031
The Sea Snake is
going to die, isn't he?
3
00:02:46,075 --> 00:02:49,155
- Luke...
- I can't be Lord of the Tides.
4
00:02:49,245 --> 00:02:51,825
Grandsire was the greatest sailor
who ever lived.
5
00:02:51,915 --> 00:02:54,455
I get greensick before the ship
6
00:02:54,542 --> 00:02:56,336
even leaves the harbor.
7
00:02:56,419 --> 00:02:58,299
I'll just ruin everything.
8
00:02:59,422 --> 00:03:01,800
I don't want Driftmark.
9
00:03:01,883 --> 00:03:03,343
It should've passed on
to Ser Vaemond.
10
00:03:03,426 --> 00:03:06,636
We don't choose our destiny, Luke.
It chooses us.
11
00:03:06,721 --> 00:03:09,681
Grandsire let you choose
whether you'd be his heir.
12
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:11,890
You told us so.
13
00:03:16,397 --> 00:03:19,107
And do you want
to know the truth of it?
14
00:03:22,070 --> 00:03:23,700
I was frightened.
15
00:03:25,156 --> 00:03:27,616
I was... four-and-ten.
16
00:03:27,700 --> 00:03:30,080
Same as you are now.
17
00:03:30,829 --> 00:03:32,079
I wasn't ready
18
00:03:32,163 --> 00:03:35,333
to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
19
00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:38,626
But... it was my duty.
20
00:03:38,711 --> 00:03:41,171
And, in time, I came to understand
21
00:03:41,256 --> 00:03:43,506
I had to earn my inheritance.
22
00:03:45,301 --> 00:03:46,845
I'm not like you.
23
00:03:46,928 --> 00:03:49,098
- In what way, sweet boy?
- I'm not so...
24
00:03:52,141 --> 00:03:55,191
perfect.
25
00:04:02,235 --> 00:04:06,405
I am anything but.
26
00:04:06,489 --> 00:04:07,239
My father looked after me
27
00:04:07,323 --> 00:04:10,327
and helped to prepare me for my duties.
28
00:04:10,410 --> 00:04:14,247
Your mother will do the same for you.
29
00:04:14,330 --> 00:04:15,916
Good morrow, Princess.
30
00:04:15,999 --> 00:04:18,835
Good morrow, Ser Lorent.
31
00:04:18,918 --> 00:04:20,587
Princess Rhaenys has
just arrived on dragonback.
32
00:04:20,670 --> 00:04:24,220
She urgently requests an audience
with you and Prince Daemon.
33
00:04:42,692 --> 00:04:44,820
The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
34
00:04:44,903 --> 00:04:46,493
Thank you, Ser Lorent.
35
00:04:50,491 --> 00:04:52,118
Princess Rhaenys...
36
00:04:52,201 --> 00:04:54,996
might we hope for news
of Lord Corlys's recovery?
37
00:04:55,079 --> 00:04:56,119
Viserys is dead.
38
00:05:02,879 --> 00:05:05,589
I grieve this loss with you,
Rhaenyra.
39
00:05:05,673 --> 00:05:08,763
My cousin, your father...
40
00:05:10,136 --> 00:05:11,216
possessed a kind heart.
41
00:05:22,899 --> 00:05:25,149
There is more.
42
00:05:25,234 --> 00:05:28,154
Aegon has been crowned
as his successor.
43
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:37,460
They crowned him?
44
00:05:38,957 --> 00:05:41,497
How did Viserys die?
45
00:05:41,584 --> 00:05:43,795
I could not say.
46
00:05:43,878 --> 00:05:45,958
- How long ago?
- A day past, perhaps two.
47
00:05:46,047 --> 00:05:47,007
I was made a prisoner
in my quarters
48
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:47,920
while the Queen
made her preparations.
49
00:05:48,007 --> 00:05:49,177
Viserys has been slain.
50
00:05:52,095 --> 00:05:56,555
Alicent demanded
you declare for Aegon.
51
00:05:57,850 --> 00:06:00,900
She did.
52
00:06:01,771 --> 00:06:04,691
- I refused her.
- And yet you are alive.
53
00:06:07,443 --> 00:06:11,197
The High Septon crowned Aegon
in the Dragonpit.
54
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,200
I witnessed it myself
just before I fled on Meleys.
55
00:06:14,283 --> 00:06:16,786
They crowned him before the masses.
56
00:06:16,869 --> 00:06:19,998
So that the masses
would see him as their rightful king.
57
00:06:20,081 --> 00:06:23,291
That whore of a Queen murdered
my brother and stole his throne.
58
00:06:23,376 --> 00:06:25,956
And you could have
burned them all for it.
59
00:06:26,045 --> 00:06:28,365
A war is like to be fought
over this treachery, to be sure.
60
00:06:29,757 --> 00:06:31,507
Mm.
61
00:06:33,094 --> 00:06:36,056
But that war is
not mine to begin.
62
00:06:36,139 --> 00:06:38,099
I only rushed
this warning to you
63
00:06:38,182 --> 00:06:40,692
out of loyalty to my husband
and to my house.
64
00:06:42,979 --> 00:06:44,939
The Greens are coming
for you, Rhaenyra.
65
00:06:46,149 --> 00:06:47,229
And for your children.
66
00:06:49,318 --> 00:06:51,358
You should leave
Dragonstone at once.
67
00:07:11,049 --> 00:07:13,549
The babe is coming.
68
00:07:21,017 --> 00:07:22,018
Her term is far from complete.
69
00:07:22,101 --> 00:07:24,729
This should not be happening.
70
00:07:24,812 --> 00:07:27,649
It is fucking happening.
71
00:07:27,732 --> 00:07:31,361
Keep your head
about you, Princess. Come.
72
00:07:31,444 --> 00:07:34,906
We've done this five times before.
73
00:07:34,989 --> 00:07:37,367
Keep your spirit,
and the sixth will be no different.
74
00:07:37,450 --> 00:07:39,828
Get off, get off,
get off, get off!
75
00:07:39,911 --> 00:07:42,751
Ow, ow, ow.
76
00:07:46,209 --> 00:07:47,959
I want patrols along
the island's perimeter,
77
00:07:48,044 --> 00:07:51,423
looking for any small ships
that might set ashore.
78
00:07:51,506 --> 00:07:53,756
If the Greens attack now,
it will be by stealth...
79
00:07:53,841 --> 00:07:55,841
Not directly.
80
00:07:55,927 --> 00:07:57,679
We don't have enough men
to surround the island,
81
00:07:57,762 --> 00:08:00,432
but we can make ourselves
appear stronger than they are.
82
00:08:03,976 --> 00:08:05,395
Conscript the Dragonkeepers.
They're capable fighters.
83
00:08:05,478 --> 00:08:07,897
- Waste no time.
- It will be done, my Prince.
84
00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:24,830
- What was that?
- I'm sorry.
85
00:08:24,914 --> 00:08:26,874
You might go easier
86
00:08:26,958 --> 00:08:28,708
on him, my Prince,
87
00:08:28,793 --> 00:08:30,211
so he can learn what
you're trying to teach.
88
00:08:30,294 --> 00:08:33,764
Your lady mother needs to see you!
89
00:08:35,758 --> 00:08:37,427
Both of you.
90
00:08:37,510 --> 00:08:40,180
Mother?
91
00:08:43,224 --> 00:08:44,814
Fuck.
92
00:08:46,269 --> 00:08:48,649
Princess.
93
00:08:59,657 --> 00:09:01,947
Your grandsire,
King Viserys, has passed.
94
00:09:02,034 --> 00:09:03,370
V-Viserys?
95
00:09:03,453 --> 00:09:06,413
The Greens have
repudiated the succession
96
00:09:06,497 --> 00:09:08,247
and claimed the Iron Throne.
97
00:09:12,295 --> 00:09:14,085
Aegon has been crowned king.
98
00:09:15,464 --> 00:09:17,384
- What is to be done about it?
- Nothing yet.
99
00:09:17,467 --> 00:09:20,927
- And where is Daemon?
- I don't know.
100
00:09:21,012 --> 00:09:22,602
Gone to madness.
101
00:09:24,807 --> 00:09:26,097
Gone to plot his war.
102
00:09:27,310 --> 00:09:30,190
- Leave Daemon with me.
- Jace.
103
00:09:30,980 --> 00:09:32,110
Jacaerys.
104
00:09:37,695 --> 00:09:41,365
Whatever claim remains to me,
you are now its heir.
105
00:09:41,449 --> 00:09:44,449
Naught is to be done
but by my command.
106
00:09:58,674 --> 00:10:00,927
A raven flew in this morning.
107
00:10:01,010 --> 00:10:02,510
The Sea Snake's fever has broken,
108
00:10:02,595 --> 00:10:04,385
and he has left Evenfall.
109
00:10:04,472 --> 00:10:07,892
- Where is he sailing?
- That much is unclear, my Prince.
110
00:10:07,975 --> 00:10:09,765
We'll send ravens
to our nearest allies:
111
00:10:09,852 --> 00:10:13,062
Lords Darklyn, Massey...
112
00:10:13,147 --> 00:10:16,276
- And Bar Emmon.
- Daemon!
113
00:10:16,359 --> 00:10:18,609
Do you want to speak
to the maester, my Prince?
114
00:10:26,410 --> 00:10:28,660
I'll fly to
the Riverlands myself
115
00:10:28,746 --> 00:10:30,076
and affirm Lord Tully's support.
116
00:10:30,164 --> 00:10:31,754
You will do no such thing.
117
00:10:34,669 --> 00:10:37,459
My mother has decreed no action
be taken while she's abed.
118
00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:46,470
It's good you're here,
young Prince.
119
00:10:46,555 --> 00:10:49,475
You're needed to patrol
the skies on Vermax.
120
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:50,559
Did you hear what I said?
121
00:10:54,272 --> 00:10:55,692
The ravens, Lord Bartimos.
122
00:10:59,026 --> 00:10:59,986
I shall see it done.
123
00:11:00,069 --> 00:11:01,649
Summon Ser Steffon.
124
00:11:01,737 --> 00:11:04,817
Our Kingsguard are needed
on the Dragonmont.
125
00:11:04,907 --> 00:11:07,947
Come with me. I'll show you
the true meaning of loyalty.
126
00:11:14,750 --> 00:11:18,338
You swore an oath
as knights of the Kingsguard.
127
00:11:18,421 --> 00:11:20,881
As do all who wear
the white cloak, my Prince.
128
00:11:22,341 --> 00:11:24,636
To whom?
129
00:11:24,719 --> 00:11:28,639
I swore first
to King Jaehaerys, my Prince.
130
00:11:28,723 --> 00:11:29,933
And then to His Grace,
131
00:11:30,016 --> 00:11:32,266
King Viserys,
when he succeeded him.
132
00:11:32,351 --> 00:11:34,191
Do you acknowledge
the true line of succession?
133
00:11:35,146 --> 00:11:36,976
- Yes.
- Yes, my Prince.
134
00:11:43,738 --> 00:11:45,608
Do you recall...
135
00:11:45,698 --> 00:11:49,408
who King Viserys named
as his heir before his death?
136
00:11:51,954 --> 00:11:54,874
Princess Rhaenyra.
137
00:11:54,957 --> 00:11:56,787
Hm.
138
00:11:56,876 --> 00:12:00,586
I'm grateful for your long
service to the crown.
139
00:12:01,547 --> 00:12:04,297
So I'm presenting you
with a choice.
140
00:12:26,864 --> 00:12:31,744
Swear anew your oath
to Rhaenyra as your queen...
141
00:12:31,827 --> 00:12:34,247
to Prince Jacaerys as
the heir to the Iron Throne.
142
00:12:38,876 --> 00:12:41,126
Or...
143
00:12:41,212 --> 00:12:42,892
if you support the usurper,
speak it now...
144
00:12:45,257 --> 00:12:47,057
and you will have a clean
and honorable death.
145
00:12:48,761 --> 00:12:51,097
But if you choose treachery,
146
00:12:51,180 --> 00:12:54,640
if you swear fealty now only
to later turn your cloaks...
147
00:12:57,353 --> 00:13:00,313
know that you will die...
148
00:13:00,398 --> 00:13:01,398
screaming.
149
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:08,660
Princess, let us help you.
150
00:13:12,034 --> 00:13:13,914
No.
151
00:13:16,330 --> 00:13:19,000
- Get out!
- Princess, please.
152
00:13:19,083 --> 00:13:20,960
- Get out.
- You should not do this alone, Princess.
153
00:13:21,043 --> 00:13:22,043
Let us help you.
154
00:16:47,249 --> 00:16:48,959
I mean no harm, brothers.
155
00:17:12,441 --> 00:17:14,111
I swear to ward the Queen...
156
00:17:16,945 --> 00:17:18,565
with all my strength...
157
00:17:19,865 --> 00:17:22,695
and give my blood for hers.
158
00:17:27,623 --> 00:17:29,713
I shall take no wife...
159
00:17:30,459 --> 00:17:32,799
hold no lands...
160
00:17:34,213 --> 00:17:35,548
father no children.
161
00:17:35,631 --> 00:17:38,801
I shall guard her secrets...
162
00:17:39,468 --> 00:17:42,346
obey her commands...
163
00:17:42,429 --> 00:17:45,929
ride at her side, and
defend her name and honor.
164
00:18:11,542 --> 00:18:12,962
My Queen.
165
00:19:56,104 --> 00:19:59,984
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen,
First of Her Name,
166
00:20:00,067 --> 00:20:04,067
Queen of the Andals and
the Rhoynar and the First Men.
167
00:20:04,154 --> 00:20:07,704
Lady of the Seven Kingdoms
and Protector of the Realm.
168
00:20:11,411 --> 00:20:12,911
Your Grace.
169
00:20:21,463 --> 00:20:23,303
Wine, my Queen.
170
00:20:26,176 --> 00:20:27,506
Thank you, Rhaena.
171
00:20:28,470 --> 00:20:29,680
Come.
172
00:20:54,162 --> 00:20:55,122
- What is our standing?
- We have 30 knights,
173
00:20:55,205 --> 00:20:58,745
a hundred crossbowmen,
and 300 men-at-arms.
174
00:20:58,834 --> 00:21:00,586
Dragonstone is
relatively easy to defend,
175
00:21:00,669 --> 00:21:01,921
but as an instrument of conquest,
176
00:21:02,004 --> 00:21:04,256
our army leaves
a lot to be desired.
177
00:21:04,339 --> 00:21:06,717
We have sent word to my loyal men
in the City Watch.
178
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:07,718
I'll have some support there,
179
00:21:07,801 --> 00:21:08,928
but I cannot speak to the numbers.
180
00:21:09,011 --> 00:21:11,931
We already have declarations
from Celtigar and Staunton,
181
00:21:12,014 --> 00:21:15,394
Massey, Darklyn, Bar Emmon.
182
00:21:18,020 --> 00:21:19,270
My lady mother was an Arryn.
183
00:21:19,354 --> 00:21:22,566
The Vale will not turn
cloak against their own kin.
184
00:21:22,649 --> 00:21:24,149
Riverrun was always a close friend
185
00:21:24,234 --> 00:21:26,070
to your father, Your Grace.
186
00:21:26,153 --> 00:21:27,822
With Prince Daemon's acquiescence,
187
00:21:27,905 --> 00:21:30,195
I've already sent ravens
to Lord Grover.
188
00:21:33,327 --> 00:21:36,327
Lord Grover is fickle
and easily swayed.
189
00:21:36,413 --> 00:21:38,958
He will need to be convinced
of the strength of our position
190
00:21:39,041 --> 00:21:41,836
and that we will support him
should it come to war.
191
00:21:41,919 --> 00:21:43,919
I'm going to treat with him myself.
192
00:21:44,004 --> 00:21:45,631
What of Storm's End and Winterfell?
193
00:21:45,714 --> 00:21:48,300
There has never lived
a Stark who forgot an oath.
194
00:21:48,383 --> 00:21:51,220
And with House Stark,
the North will follow.
195
00:21:51,303 --> 00:21:54,973
Lord Borros Baratheon will need to be
reminded of his father's promises.
196
00:22:07,903 --> 00:22:10,033
What news from Driftmark?
197
00:22:12,741 --> 00:22:13,826
Lord Corlys sails for Dragonstone.
198
00:22:13,909 --> 00:22:16,199
To declare for his Queen.
199
00:22:18,288 --> 00:22:21,375
The Velaryon fleet is
in my husband's yoke.
200
00:22:21,458 --> 00:22:23,335
He decides where they sail.
201
00:22:23,418 --> 00:22:26,588
We shall pray for both
you and your husband's support.
202
00:22:26,672 --> 00:22:29,842
Just as we prayed nightly for the
Sea Snake's return to good health.
203
00:22:31,093 --> 00:22:33,053
There's no port on the
Narrow Sea would dare to make
204
00:22:33,136 --> 00:22:34,376
an enemy of the Velaryon fleet.
205
00:22:37,349 --> 00:22:40,519
- And our enemies?
- We have no friends among the Lannisters.
206
00:22:40,602 --> 00:22:43,689
Tyland has served the Hand
too long to turn against him.
207
00:22:43,772 --> 00:22:46,022
And Otto Hightower
needs the Lannister fleet.
208
00:22:46,108 --> 00:22:47,401
Without the Lannisters,
we are not like to find
209
00:22:47,484 --> 00:22:49,904
- Any allies west of the Golden Tooth.
- No.
210
00:22:53,156 --> 00:22:54,756
The Riverlands are essential,
Your Grace.
211
00:22:56,368 --> 00:22:58,118
Pray forgive my bluntness,
Your Grace,
212
00:22:58,203 --> 00:22:59,705
but talk of men is moot.
213
00:22:59,788 --> 00:23:02,498
Your cause owns a power
214
00:23:02,582 --> 00:23:04,332
that has not been
seen in this world
215
00:23:04,418 --> 00:23:06,918
since the days of Old Valyria.
216
00:23:07,004 --> 00:23:08,304
Dragons.
217
00:23:11,383 --> 00:23:12,883
The Greens have dragons as well.
218
00:23:12,968 --> 00:23:14,053
They have three adults,
by my count.
219
00:23:14,136 --> 00:23:17,886
We have Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys.
220
00:23:17,973 --> 00:23:19,975
Your sons have Vermax,
Arrax, and Tyraxes.
221
00:23:20,058 --> 00:23:22,638
Baela has Moondancer.
222
00:23:22,728 --> 00:23:24,647
Daemon, none of our dragons
have been to war.
223
00:23:24,730 --> 00:23:26,690
There are also unclaimed dragons.
224
00:23:26,773 --> 00:23:28,817
Seasmoke still resides on Driftmark.
225
00:23:28,900 --> 00:23:31,779
Vermithor and Silverwing
dwell on the Dragonmont,
226
00:23:31,862 --> 00:23:34,072
still riderless.
227
00:23:34,156 --> 00:23:36,408
Then there are the three wild dragons,
all of whom nest here.
228
00:23:36,491 --> 00:23:37,910
And who is to ride them?
229
00:23:37,993 --> 00:23:41,372
Dragonstone has 13 to their 4.
230
00:23:41,455 --> 00:23:44,495
I also have a score of eggs
incubating in the Dragonmont.
231
00:23:44,583 --> 00:23:48,128
Now... we need a place to gather,
232
00:23:48,211 --> 00:23:51,757
a toehold large enough
to house a sizable host.
233
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,630
Here, at Harrenhal.
We cut off the west,
234
00:23:53,717 --> 00:23:54,843
surround King's Landing
with the dragons.
235
00:23:54,926 --> 00:23:57,256
And we could have every
Green head mounted on spikes
236
00:23:57,345 --> 00:23:59,345
before the fucking moon turns.
237
00:23:59,431 --> 00:24:00,099
Your Grace...
238
00:24:00,182 --> 00:24:02,932
a ship has been
sighted offshore:
239
00:24:03,018 --> 00:24:03,978
a lone galleon, flying a banner
240
00:24:04,061 --> 00:24:05,437
of a three-headed green dragon.
241
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,650
Alert the watchtowers.
Sight the skies.
242
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,309
I come at the behest
of the Dowager Queen Alicent,
243
00:24:48,396 --> 00:24:50,606
mother of King Aegon,
Second of His Name,
244
00:24:50,690 --> 00:24:53,360
Lord and Protector
of the Seven Kingdoms.
245
00:24:53,443 --> 00:24:56,030
I've been directed
to deliver her message
246
00:24:56,113 --> 00:24:58,913
only to Princess Rhaenyra.
247
00:24:59,741 --> 00:25:01,991
Where is the Princess?
248
00:25:55,922 --> 00:25:58,092
Princess Rhaenyra.
249
00:25:58,758 --> 00:26:01,845
I'm Queen Rhaenyra now.
250
00:26:01,928 --> 00:26:04,508
And you all are
traitors to the realm.
251
00:26:04,598 --> 00:26:08,558
King Aegon Targaryen,
Second of His Name...
252
00:26:10,270 --> 00:26:13,690
in his wisdom and desire for peace,
253
00:26:13,773 --> 00:26:15,233
is offering terms.
254
00:26:17,611 --> 00:26:18,445
Acknowledge Aegon as king
255
00:26:18,528 --> 00:26:21,318
and swear obeisance
before the Iron Throne.
256
00:26:21,406 --> 00:26:23,236
In exchange,
His Grace will confirm
257
00:26:23,325 --> 00:26:26,785
your possession of Dragonstone.
258
00:26:26,870 --> 00:26:28,497
It will pass to your trueborn son,
259
00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:30,457
Jacaerys, upon your death.
260
00:26:30,540 --> 00:26:31,830
Lucerys will be confirmed
261
00:26:31,917 --> 00:26:33,836
as the legitimate
heir to Driftmark
262
00:26:33,919 --> 00:26:36,755
and all the lands and
holdings of House Velaryon.
263
00:26:36,838 --> 00:26:38,628
Your sons by Prince Daemon
264
00:26:38,715 --> 00:26:41,715
will also be given places
of high honor at court:
265
00:26:41,801 --> 00:26:44,261
Aegon the Younger
as the King's squire,
266
00:26:44,346 --> 00:26:45,426
Viserys as his cupbearer.
267
00:26:45,513 --> 00:26:48,433
Finally, the King,
in his good grace,
268
00:26:48,516 --> 00:26:50,846
will pardon any knight or lord
269
00:26:50,936 --> 00:26:53,605
who conspired against his ascent.
270
00:26:53,688 --> 00:26:56,268
I would rather feed
my sons to the dragons
271
00:26:56,358 --> 00:26:59,438
than have them
carry shields and cups
272
00:26:59,527 --> 00:27:03,817
for your drunken,
usurper cunt of a king.
273
00:27:03,907 --> 00:27:07,327
Aegon Targaryen
sits the Iron Throne.
274
00:27:08,203 --> 00:27:09,288
He wears the Conqueror's crown,
275
00:27:09,371 --> 00:27:11,121
wields the Conqueror's sword,
276
00:27:11,206 --> 00:27:13,416
has the Conqueror's name.
277
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:16,290
He was anointed
by a septon of the Faith
278
00:27:16,378 --> 00:27:17,462
before the eyes of thousands.
279
00:27:17,545 --> 00:27:22,715
Every symbol of legitimacy
belongs to him.
280
00:27:24,844 --> 00:27:27,306
And then there is Stark,
Tully, Baratheon.
281
00:27:27,389 --> 00:27:30,139
Houses that have also received,
282
00:27:30,225 --> 00:27:32,345
and are at present,
283
00:27:32,435 --> 00:27:35,475
considering generous terms
from their king.
284
00:27:37,232 --> 00:27:41,320
Stark, Tully, and Baratheon
all swore to me
285
00:27:41,403 --> 00:27:44,531
when King Viserys named me his heir.
286
00:27:44,614 --> 00:27:49,328
Stale oaths will not put you
on the Iron Throne, Princess.
287
00:27:49,411 --> 00:27:52,911
The succession changed the day
your father sired a son.
288
00:27:52,998 --> 00:27:58,668
I only regret that you and he
were the last to see the truth of it.
289
00:27:58,753 --> 00:28:01,006
You are no more Hand
than Aegon is king.
290
00:28:01,089 --> 00:28:02,759
Fucking traitor.
291
00:28:14,602 --> 00:28:16,232
Grand Maester.
292
00:28:21,484 --> 00:28:22,574
What the fuck is this?
293
00:28:38,168 --> 00:28:40,378
Queen Alicent has
not forgotten the love
294
00:28:40,462 --> 00:28:43,212
you once had for each other.
295
00:28:43,298 --> 00:28:45,258
No blood need be spilled,
296
00:28:45,342 --> 00:28:48,802
so the realm can carry on in peace.
297
00:28:52,474 --> 00:28:53,767
Queen Alicent eagerly
awaits your answer.
298
00:28:53,850 --> 00:28:57,060
She can have her answer now,
stuffed in her father's mouth
299
00:28:57,145 --> 00:28:57,725
along with his withered cock.
300
00:28:57,812 --> 00:29:00,362
Let's end this mummer's farce.
301
00:29:01,816 --> 00:29:02,566
Ser Erryk, bring me Lord Hightower
302
00:29:02,650 --> 00:29:05,070
so I may take the pleasure myself.
303
00:29:10,033 --> 00:29:11,163
No.
304
00:29:22,879 --> 00:29:24,799
King's Landing will have
my answer on the morrow.
305
00:29:47,612 --> 00:29:50,657
It's no easy thing
for a man to be a dragonslayer.
306
00:29:50,740 --> 00:29:55,579
But dragons can kill dragons.
And have.
307
00:29:55,662 --> 00:29:58,872
The simple truth is this:
we have more dragons than Aegon.
308
00:29:58,957 --> 00:30:01,287
Viserys spoke often
of the Valyrian histories.
309
00:30:01,376 --> 00:30:03,666
I know them well.
310
00:30:03,753 --> 00:30:05,883
When dragons flew to war...
311
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,260
everything burned.
312
00:30:10,385 --> 00:30:13,555
I do not wish to rule over
a kingdom of ash and bone.
313
00:30:13,638 --> 00:30:16,808
Are you considering the
Hightowers' terms, Your Grace?
314
00:30:16,891 --> 00:30:18,435
As Queen, what is my true duty
315
00:30:18,518 --> 00:30:21,146
to the realm, Lord Bartimos?
316
00:30:21,229 --> 00:30:22,647
Ensuring peace and unity?
317
00:30:22,730 --> 00:30:24,730
Or that I sit the Iron Throne,
no matter the cost?
318
00:30:24,816 --> 00:30:28,316
- That's your father talking.
- My father's dead.
319
00:30:30,113 --> 00:30:32,283
And he chose me as his successor...
320
00:30:34,742 --> 00:30:37,287
to defend the realm,
not cast it headlong into war.
321
00:30:37,370 --> 00:30:38,622
Well, the enemy have declared war.
322
00:30:38,705 --> 00:30:41,165
What are you gonna do about it?
323
00:30:44,711 --> 00:30:45,751
Clear the room.
324
00:31:16,451 --> 00:31:17,951
Does the promise of war excite you?
325
00:31:18,036 --> 00:31:19,826
You cannot bend the knee
to the Hightowers.
326
00:31:19,913 --> 00:31:20,663
They stole your birthright.
327
00:31:20,747 --> 00:31:23,166
If you could take the Iron Throne
328
00:31:23,249 --> 00:31:25,419
without putting Otto Hightower's
head on a spike,
329
00:31:25,502 --> 00:31:26,837
- Would you?
- Are you not angry?
330
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,339
- I should declare war because I'm angry?
- No.
331
00:31:29,422 --> 00:31:31,383
Because it's your duty
as Queen to crush rebellion.
332
00:31:31,466 --> 00:31:32,796
You know my oath
333
00:31:32,884 --> 00:31:35,514
reaches beyond our
personal ambitions.
334
00:31:38,473 --> 00:31:40,563
A Song of Ice and Fire.
335
00:31:43,061 --> 00:31:44,351
What?
336
00:31:45,813 --> 00:31:47,274
The coming war against
the darkness in the North,
337
00:31:47,357 --> 00:31:49,567
The Conqueror's Dream.
338
00:31:49,651 --> 00:31:51,778
Viserys shared it with me
when he named me heir.
339
00:31:56,616 --> 00:32:01,696
My brother... was a slave
to his omens and portents.
340
00:32:01,788 --> 00:32:03,707
Anything to make his feckless reign
341
00:32:03,790 --> 00:32:05,420
appear to have purpose.
342
00:32:09,170 --> 00:32:11,010
Dreams didn't make us kings.
343
00:32:11,506 --> 00:32:12,836
Dragons did.
344
00:32:31,568 --> 00:32:33,108
He never told you...
345
00:32:36,197 --> 00:32:38,237
did he?
346
00:33:15,570 --> 00:33:19,870
I've had men whipped for
falling asleep on their watch.
347
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:27,619
You are no man.
348
00:33:31,419 --> 00:33:34,259
You abandoned me...
349
00:33:35,882 --> 00:33:37,762
when I most needed you.
350
00:33:38,718 --> 00:33:40,928
Both our children stolen from us.
351
00:33:42,430 --> 00:33:44,349
I needed you.
352
00:33:44,432 --> 00:33:45,392
Baela and Rhaena needed you,
353
00:33:45,475 --> 00:33:48,935
and you abandoned us
for more adventure at sea.
354
00:33:49,020 --> 00:33:50,940
As has always been your way.
355
00:33:52,899 --> 00:33:55,359
I had no other place to turn.
356
00:33:56,778 --> 00:33:59,948
- I lost everything.
- We lost, Corlys.
357
00:34:01,949 --> 00:34:04,989
We.
358
00:34:15,797 --> 00:34:18,216
I understand we have a new king.
359
00:34:18,299 --> 00:34:21,799
The Stranger casts a long shadow
over this family.
360
00:34:28,184 --> 00:34:30,437
Your brother is also dead.
361
00:34:34,941 --> 00:34:37,986
In his haste to bury you
and claim your seat,
362
00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:39,569
he stood before the King
363
00:34:39,654 --> 00:34:42,494
and denounced Laenor's
sons as illegitimate.
364
00:34:47,662 --> 00:34:50,122
Daemon took his head for it.
365
00:34:54,794 --> 00:34:59,344
Heedless ambition has always
been a Velaryon weakness.
366
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,600
You were right, Rhaenys.
367
00:35:07,390 --> 00:35:10,060
I reached too far.
And for nothing.
368
00:35:13,187 --> 00:35:18,147
Our pursuit of the Iron Throne...
is at an end.
369
00:35:21,654 --> 00:35:25,534
We shall declare for no one.
370
00:35:26,909 --> 00:35:29,245
We will retire to High Tide
371
00:35:29,328 --> 00:35:31,368
to be content...
372
00:35:31,456 --> 00:35:33,826
with our grandchildren and...
373
00:35:33,916 --> 00:35:36,166
Jace, Luke, and Joff are
claimants to the throne.
374
00:35:38,755 --> 00:35:41,755
Those boys'll not be safe
so long as Aegon is king.
375
00:35:44,051 --> 00:35:48,221
Rhaenyra was complicit
in our son's death.
376
00:35:49,849 --> 00:35:51,476
That girl destroys
everything she touches.
377
00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:54,437
That "girl..."
378
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,770
is holding the realm
together at present.
379
00:35:57,857 --> 00:35:59,607
Every man standing
'round the Painted Table
380
00:35:59,692 --> 00:36:01,862
urges her to plunge
the realm into war.
381
00:36:03,237 --> 00:36:07,325
Rhaenyra's the only one
who's demonstrated restraint.
382
00:36:07,408 --> 00:36:08,660
The purpose of war
is to fill graveyards,
383
00:36:08,743 --> 00:36:09,911
my dear Lord Staunton.
384
00:36:09,994 --> 00:36:12,664
The trick is to put
more of their men
385
00:36:12,747 --> 00:36:13,867
in the ground than your own.
386
00:36:13,956 --> 00:36:15,536
Easy words for a lord
who commands
387
00:36:15,625 --> 00:36:17,335
- From the safety of his castle.
- Doesn't make it any less true.
388
00:36:17,418 --> 00:36:18,748
The Lord of the Tides!
389
00:36:18,836 --> 00:36:22,506
Lord Corlys Velaryon...
390
00:36:22,590 --> 00:36:26,050
and his wife,
the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
391
00:36:36,646 --> 00:36:39,106
My lords.
392
00:36:39,190 --> 00:36:41,526
Lord Corlys.
393
00:36:41,609 --> 00:36:44,239
It brings much relief to see
you hale and healthy again.
394
00:36:46,781 --> 00:36:50,076
I'm very sorry about
your father, Princess.
395
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:51,739
He was a good man.
396
00:37:03,464 --> 00:37:05,592
Where is Daemon?
397
00:37:05,675 --> 00:37:08,715
There were other concerns which
demanded the Prince's attention.
398
00:37:09,387 --> 00:37:11,137
Mm.
399
00:37:20,064 --> 00:37:21,444
Your declared allies?
400
00:37:23,150 --> 00:37:26,740
- Yes.
- Too few to win a war for the throne.
401
00:37:28,155 --> 00:37:31,025
Well, we would also
hope to have the support
402
00:37:31,117 --> 00:37:33,398
- Of Houses Arryn, Baratheon, and Stark.
- Hope...
403
00:37:34,871 --> 00:37:36,501
is the fool's ally.
404
00:37:38,165 --> 00:37:41,285
Both Arryn and Baratheon
share blood with my house.
405
00:37:41,377 --> 00:37:43,497
But all of them swore oaths to me.
406
00:37:43,588 --> 00:37:45,418
As did House Hightower...
407
00:37:45,506 --> 00:37:46,006
if I remember.
408
00:37:46,090 --> 00:37:49,720
As did you, Lord Corlys.
409
00:38:03,524 --> 00:38:04,944
Your father's realm...
410
00:38:05,985 --> 00:38:08,985
was one of justice and honor.
411
00:38:09,947 --> 00:38:12,657
Our houses are bound
by common blood
412
00:38:12,742 --> 00:38:14,372
and common cause.
413
00:38:15,328 --> 00:38:19,038
This Hightower treason
cannot stand.
414
00:38:24,587 --> 00:38:28,127
You have the full support
of our fleet and house.
415
00:38:29,759 --> 00:38:32,799
Your Grace.
416
00:38:39,018 --> 00:38:41,648
You honor me, Lord Corlys.
417
00:38:47,735 --> 00:38:49,855
Princess Rhaenys.
418
00:38:52,990 --> 00:38:57,620
But, as I said to my bannermen,
419
00:38:57,703 --> 00:38:58,496
I made a promise to my father
420
00:38:58,579 --> 00:39:01,539
to hold the realm
strong and united.
421
00:39:03,084 --> 00:39:04,752
If war's first stroke is to fall,
422
00:39:04,835 --> 00:39:06,165
it will not be by my hand.
423
00:39:06,837 --> 00:39:08,207
You do not mean to act?
424
00:39:08,297 --> 00:39:12,757
Taking caution does not
mean standing fast.
425
00:39:12,843 --> 00:39:14,888
I wish to know who my allies are
426
00:39:14,971 --> 00:39:17,721
before I send them to war.
427
00:39:25,564 --> 00:39:27,066
The consequence of my...
428
00:39:27,149 --> 00:39:31,069
near-demise in the Stepstones...
429
00:39:32,279 --> 00:39:34,699
is that we now control them.
430
00:39:34,782 --> 00:39:37,368
I took care to fully garrison
the territory this time.
431
00:39:37,451 --> 00:39:39,161
A total blockade
of the shipping lanes
432
00:39:39,245 --> 00:39:42,415
will be in place in days,
if not already.
433
00:39:42,498 --> 00:39:44,876
The Triarchy have been routed.
434
00:39:44,959 --> 00:39:47,039
The Narrow Sea is ours.
435
00:39:49,797 --> 00:39:52,547
If we...
further seal the Gullet,
436
00:39:52,633 --> 00:39:54,761
we can cut off all
seaborne travel and trade
437
00:39:54,844 --> 00:39:57,931
to King's Landing.
438
00:39:58,014 --> 00:40:00,604
I shall take Meleys
and patrol the Gullet myself.
439
00:40:05,688 --> 00:40:08,518
When we drain the Narrow Sea,
440
00:40:08,607 --> 00:40:10,647
we can surround King's Landing,
441
00:40:10,735 --> 00:40:12,065
lay siege to the Red Keep,
442
00:40:12,153 --> 00:40:14,613
and force the Greens' surrender.
443
00:40:14,697 --> 00:40:19,237
If we are to have enough swords
to surround King's Landing,
444
00:40:19,326 --> 00:40:20,906
we must first secure the support
445
00:40:20,995 --> 00:40:22,080
of Winterfell, the Eyrie,
and Storm's End.
446
00:40:22,163 --> 00:40:25,917
I'll prepare the ravens, Your Grace.
447
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,337
We should bear those messages.
448
00:40:29,420 --> 00:40:32,465
Dragons can fly faster than ravens
449
00:40:32,548 --> 00:40:34,178
and they're more convincing.
450
00:40:37,595 --> 00:40:38,885
Send us.
451
00:40:40,848 --> 00:40:42,768
The Prince is right, Your Grace.
452
00:40:51,859 --> 00:40:52,989
Very well.
453
00:40:54,028 --> 00:40:57,028
Prince Jacaerys will fly north.
454
00:40:57,114 --> 00:40:59,450
First to the Eyrie to see my
mother's cousin, the Lady Jeyne Arryn,
455
00:40:59,533 --> 00:41:03,162
and then to Winterfell
to treat with Lord Cregan Stark
456
00:41:03,245 --> 00:41:04,405
for the support of the North.
457
00:41:06,373 --> 00:41:09,127
Prince Lucerys will fly
south to Storm's End
458
00:41:09,210 --> 00:41:12,130
and treat with Lord Borros Baratheon.
459
00:41:12,213 --> 00:41:15,383
We must remind these lords
of the oaths they swore.
460
00:41:18,010 --> 00:41:20,930
And... the cost of breaking them.
461
00:41:44,912 --> 00:41:46,164
It's been said that as Targaryens,
462
00:41:46,247 --> 00:41:50,167
we are closer to gods than to men.
463
00:41:52,211 --> 00:41:55,171
And the Iron Throne puts us
a touch closer, perhaps.
464
00:41:56,882 --> 00:42:00,802
But, if we are to serve
the Seven Kingdoms...
465
00:42:01,887 --> 00:42:04,677
we must answer to their gods.
466
00:42:04,765 --> 00:42:09,975
If you take this errand,
you go as messengers... not as warriors.
467
00:42:10,062 --> 00:42:12,522
You must take no part
in any fighting.
468
00:42:13,107 --> 00:42:15,067
Swear it to me now
469
00:42:15,151 --> 00:42:18,031
under the eyes of the Seven.
470
00:42:21,991 --> 00:42:24,031
I swear it.
471
00:42:28,038 --> 00:42:30,078
I swear it.
472
00:42:31,333 --> 00:42:34,383
Thank you.
473
00:42:35,129 --> 00:42:38,799
Cregan Stark is...
474
00:42:38,883 --> 00:42:40,051
close to your age than is mine.
475
00:42:40,134 --> 00:42:42,845
I would hope, that as men,
476
00:42:42,928 --> 00:42:44,928
you can find some common interest.
477
00:42:45,014 --> 00:42:46,394
Yes, Your Grace.
478
00:42:55,649 --> 00:42:57,819
Storm's End is a short
flight from here.
479
00:42:59,486 --> 00:43:00,236
You have Baratheon blood
480
00:43:00,321 --> 00:43:03,199
from your grandmother, Rhaenys.
481
00:43:03,282 --> 00:43:04,575
And...
482
00:43:04,658 --> 00:43:07,868
Lord Borros is an
eternally proud man.
483
00:43:07,953 --> 00:43:09,080
He will be honored
484
00:43:09,163 --> 00:43:11,958
to host a prince of the realm...
485
00:43:12,041 --> 00:43:13,421
and his dragon.
486
00:43:21,592 --> 00:43:24,552
I expect you will receive
a very warm welcome.
487
00:43:26,180 --> 00:43:28,850
Yes, Mother. Y-Your Grace.
488
00:43:38,317 --> 00:43:40,067
Go to it then.
489
00:47:21,373 --> 00:47:23,833
I am Prince Lucerys Velaryon.
490
00:47:23,917 --> 00:47:26,037
I bring a message to Lord Borros
from the Queen.
491
00:47:43,187 --> 00:47:45,357
Prince Lucerys Velaryon.
492
00:47:50,819 --> 00:47:55,279
Son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
493
00:47:58,410 --> 00:47:59,750
Lord Borros...
494
00:48:02,581 --> 00:48:05,501
I brought you a message
from my mother...
495
00:48:05,584 --> 00:48:07,878
the Queen.
496
00:48:07,961 --> 00:48:11,301
Yet earlier this day,
I received an envoy from the King.
497
00:48:12,382 --> 00:48:13,217
Which is it?
498
00:48:13,300 --> 00:48:16,050
King or Queen?
499
00:48:16,136 --> 00:48:19,886
The House of the Dragon does
not seem to know who rules it.
500
00:48:21,934 --> 00:48:25,024
What's your mother's message?
501
00:48:41,286 --> 00:48:42,786
Where's the bloody maester?
502
00:49:17,698 --> 00:49:20,868
"Remind" me of my father's oath.
503
00:49:21,994 --> 00:49:24,705
King Aegon at least
came with an offer:
504
00:49:24,788 --> 00:49:26,998
my swords and banners
for a marriage pact.
505
00:49:28,959 --> 00:49:32,169
If I do as your mother bids...
506
00:49:32,254 --> 00:49:34,014
which one of my daughters
will you wed...
507
00:49:36,216 --> 00:49:38,466
boy?
508
00:49:38,552 --> 00:49:41,012
My lord...
I am not free to marry.
509
00:49:43,015 --> 00:49:44,465
I'm already betrothed.
510
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,060
So you come with empty hands.
511
00:49:51,231 --> 00:49:53,317
Go home, pup.
512
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:54,693
And tell your mother
that the Lord of Storm's End
513
00:49:54,776 --> 00:49:56,695
is not some dog
that she can whistle up
514
00:49:56,778 --> 00:50:00,198
at need to set against her foes.
515
00:50:02,451 --> 00:50:06,291
I shall take your answer
to the Queen, my lord.
516
00:50:11,668 --> 00:50:14,048
Wait...
517
00:50:15,922 --> 00:50:17,512
my Lord Strong.
518
00:50:21,470 --> 00:50:23,847
Did you really think
519
00:50:23,930 --> 00:50:26,767
that you could just
fly about the realm
520
00:50:26,850 --> 00:50:29,350
trying to steal my brother's
throne at no cost?
521
00:50:31,229 --> 00:50:33,729
I will not fight you.
522
00:50:33,815 --> 00:50:36,685
I came as a messenger,
not a warrior.
523
00:50:36,777 --> 00:50:38,487
A fight would be little challenge.
524
00:50:41,573 --> 00:50:42,741
No.
525
00:50:42,824 --> 00:50:45,704
I want you to put out your eye.
526
00:50:47,663 --> 00:50:49,003
As payment for mine.
527
00:50:51,458 --> 00:50:53,788
One will serve.
528
00:50:57,631 --> 00:50:59,051
I would not blind you.
529
00:51:01,301 --> 00:51:04,391
Mm, plan to make a gift
of it to my mother.
530
00:51:08,767 --> 00:51:10,807
No.
531
00:51:10,894 --> 00:51:13,022
Then you are craven
as well as a traitor.
532
00:51:13,105 --> 00:51:13,855
Not here.
533
00:51:13,939 --> 00:51:14,729
Give me your eye
534
00:51:14,815 --> 00:51:17,895
or I will take it, bastard!
535
00:51:17,984 --> 00:51:19,034
Not in my hall!
536
00:51:20,821 --> 00:51:21,780
The boy came as an envoy.
537
00:51:21,863 --> 00:51:25,283
I'll not have bloodshed
beneath my roof.
538
00:51:25,367 --> 00:51:26,702
Take Prince Lucerys
back to his dragon.
539
00:51:26,785 --> 00:51:29,405
Now.
540
00:54:23,962 --> 00:54:25,672
Ugh!
541
00:55:08,381 --> 00:55:12,301
No, no, no, no, no! No, Vhagar! No!
542
00:55:13,637 --> 00:55:16,597
Serve me, Vhagar! No!
543
00:55:38,787 --> 00:55:41,665
Vhagar! No! No...
