1
00:01:56,411 --> 00:01:59,456
Aeron Bracken, worst horseman among us.
2
00:02:01,958 --> 00:02:03,752
Must be my swordsmanship.
3
00:02:04,961 --> 00:02:06,201
Can you even get that thing up?
4
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,673
Well enough for killing Blackwoods.
5
00:02:09,049 --> 00:02:10,175
Bracken!
6
00:02:16,056 --> 00:02:19,017
Put the boundary stones back.
7
00:02:20,185 --> 00:02:21,644
We didn't move them.
8
00:02:21,645 --> 00:02:23,646
Did they move themselves, then?
9
00:02:23,647 --> 00:02:26,482
Just rolled their way over
so Bracken cows can fill their bellies
10
00:02:26,483 --> 00:02:28,359
- on Blackwood grass?
- The assize at Riverrun...
11
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,903
Fuck the assize
12
00:02:30,946 --> 00:02:32,280
and fuck you.
13
00:02:33,031 --> 00:02:34,282
This is our land.
14
00:02:40,747 --> 00:02:42,582
It's Bracken land.
15
00:02:46,461 --> 00:02:49,089
- Babe-killer.
- What did you say?
16
00:02:53,969 --> 00:02:57,514
Your false queen,
Rhaenyra, is a kinslayer.
17
00:02:58,598 --> 00:03:02,018
Your uncle declared for Aegon, did he?
18
00:03:04,896 --> 00:03:08,816
Well then, let me tell you
19
00:03:08,817 --> 00:03:13,321
Aegon Targaryen is no true king
20
00:03:14,281 --> 00:03:18,201
just as you are no true knight.
21
00:03:18,869 --> 00:03:22,914
You're both craven, little cunts!
22
00:03:32,716 --> 00:03:34,259
You wouldn't dare.
23
00:04:16,927 --> 00:04:19,346
He is the basest of villains.
24
00:04:19,888 --> 00:04:22,099
He sullies the grave of his brother.
25
00:04:23,975 --> 00:04:26,937
I cannot fault him for keeping his oath.
26
00:04:29,564 --> 00:04:32,275
And what of those who sent him?
27
00:04:53,588 --> 00:04:56,591
Otto Hightower
would never have allowed this.
28
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,388
Hotter blood has prevailed, I think.
29
00:05:02,431 --> 00:05:04,265
The young men have taken the bit
in their teeth.
30
00:05:04,266 --> 00:05:06,351
They wish to punish, to avenge.
31
00:05:08,562 --> 00:05:10,479
Soon they will not even remember
what it was
32
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,731
that began the war in the first place.
33
00:05:12,732 --> 00:05:15,151
That is easy enough.
They usurped my throne.
34
00:05:15,152 --> 00:05:17,154
That is one answer.
35
00:05:21,283 --> 00:05:23,910
Or was it when the child was beheaded?
36
00:05:26,121 --> 00:05:28,749
Or when Aemond killed Luke
37
00:05:32,002 --> 00:05:35,005
or when Luke took Aemond's eye?
38
00:05:35,964 --> 00:05:38,759
We teeter now at the point
where none of it will matter.
39
00:05:40,218 --> 00:05:42,595
And the desire to kill and burn takes hold
40
00:05:42,596 --> 00:05:44,681
and reason is forgotten.
41
00:05:46,683 --> 00:05:48,852
There may be another way.
42
00:05:52,397 --> 00:05:54,316
Alicent Hightower.
43
00:05:58,653 --> 00:06:02,282
When last we met,
Alicent said I would make a fine queen.
44
00:06:02,908 --> 00:06:04,450
You've seen what has happened since then.
45
00:06:04,451 --> 00:06:06,869
She came to me in the hours
after your lord father's death.
46
00:06:06,870 --> 00:06:08,037
She knows war is coming
47
00:06:08,038 --> 00:06:11,124
and that it'll be savage
beyond all compare.
48
00:06:12,334 --> 00:06:17,297
There is no war so hateful to the gods
as a war between kin.
49
00:06:21,343 --> 00:06:24,054
And no war so bloody
as a war between dragons.
50
00:06:25,388 --> 00:06:29,017
- I do not believe she wants it.
- She sent a raven.
51
00:06:30,602 --> 00:06:32,145
I do not care to read her message.
52
00:06:33,063 --> 00:06:33,980
What she did...
53
00:06:33,981 --> 00:06:36,023
It is not her but the men around her
who seek bloodshed.
54
00:06:36,024 --> 00:06:37,943
She permitted it.
55
00:06:39,611 --> 00:06:42,447
As you permitted the murder
of a little boy in his bed.
56
00:06:50,872 --> 00:06:55,710
Alicent is in King's Landing.
Her son sits my throne.
57
00:06:57,712 --> 00:07:00,132
There is nothing more to be said.
58
00:07:15,063 --> 00:07:16,565
Is all well, lord Hand?
59
00:07:20,110 --> 00:07:22,529
Only they'll be waiting.
60
00:08:03,612 --> 00:08:04,892
...there have been tidings in...
61
00:08:13,914 --> 00:08:16,917
Good morrow, Your Grace. My lords.
62
00:08:24,925 --> 00:08:28,469
- Forgive my lateness.
- Important business, no doubt.
63
00:08:28,470 --> 00:08:30,971
You've appointed new knights
to the Kingsguard, Your Grace.
64
00:08:30,972 --> 00:08:33,182
To replace those we lost.
65
00:08:33,183 --> 00:08:35,519
The last one needlessly, some might say.
66
00:08:37,938 --> 00:08:41,065
Ser Arryk was awarded the great duty
of ending Rhaenyra's challenge.
67
00:08:41,066 --> 00:08:42,650
He failed to discharge it.
68
00:08:42,651 --> 00:08:44,276
He failed because the scheme was rash.
69
00:08:44,277 --> 00:08:46,612
Perhaps, Your Grace,
but we cannot all hide in our castles
70
00:08:46,613 --> 00:08:47,780
waiting for war to come to us.
71
00:08:47,781 --> 00:08:49,448
As now it surely will.
72
00:08:49,449 --> 00:08:51,701
As, now, it already has.
73
00:08:52,702 --> 00:08:55,788
House Bracken took it upon themselves
to attack the Blackwoods,
74
00:08:55,789 --> 00:08:58,040
who declared for the pretender.
75
00:08:58,041 --> 00:09:00,126
Lord Samwell Blackwood himself is slain.
76
00:09:00,127 --> 00:09:02,796
Good. First blood in our name.
77
00:09:03,380 --> 00:09:05,965
Both sides took heavy losses, Your Grace.
78
00:09:05,966 --> 00:09:09,677
I'm not entirely certain
we can declare this a victory.
79
00:09:09,678 --> 00:09:12,054
The Blackwoods and the Brackens
have feuded for centuries.
80
00:09:12,055 --> 00:09:14,598
This is nothing more
than an excuse for them to indulge
81
00:09:14,599 --> 00:09:16,518
their ancient grudge. It's no true war.
82
00:09:18,270 --> 00:09:20,062
Call it what you will.
83
00:09:20,063 --> 00:09:22,107
I call it war.
84
00:09:23,150 --> 00:09:24,276
And so will Dragonstone.
85
00:09:25,277 --> 00:09:29,114
The question is,
what are we going to do about it?
86
00:09:34,745 --> 00:09:37,663
We send a raven to Lord Tully.
87
00:09:37,664 --> 00:09:39,915
These houses are his vassals,
are they not?
88
00:09:39,916 --> 00:09:41,792
He must control them.
89
00:09:41,793 --> 00:09:43,753
Lord Grover Tully is a flaccid, old fool
90
00:09:43,754 --> 00:09:45,964
who couldn't control his cock in a cunny.
91
00:09:47,048 --> 00:09:48,048
Begging your pardon, Your Grace.
92
00:09:48,049 --> 00:09:50,050
Do you have any better
suggestions, Lord Jasper?
93
00:09:50,051 --> 00:09:51,886
Your lord uncle Ormund
marches from Oldtown
94
00:09:51,887 --> 00:09:54,263
at the head of a great host, Your Grace.
95
00:09:54,264 --> 00:09:56,807
And your brother Daeron's dragon
nears fighting age.
96
00:09:56,808 --> 00:09:58,184
Call on them to suppress the Riverlands.
97
00:09:58,185 --> 00:09:59,727
Alas, they are months away.
98
00:09:59,728 --> 00:10:03,105
My lord brother Jason
is raising a great army at Casterly Rock.
99
00:10:03,106 --> 00:10:06,776
In a matter of weeks, he will be able
to harass the Blackwoods from the west.
100
00:10:06,777 --> 00:10:10,279
Should we not aim to unite these armies
and then strike as one?
101
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,948
The great military mind of the Citadel.
102
00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:14,742
- I served the realm...
- Do remind me,
103
00:10:14,743 --> 00:10:16,619
which link in your chain
denotes the art of war?
104
00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:18,746
This council must rediscover
the discipline it lately had
105
00:10:18,747 --> 00:10:20,289
if it's to be of any use.
106
00:10:20,290 --> 00:10:22,167
The Riverlands are the key to the war.
107
00:10:23,251 --> 00:10:25,795
Harrenhal is the key to the Riverlands.
108
00:10:25,796 --> 00:10:27,523
I will ride out with those
I can muster here.
109
00:10:27,547 --> 00:10:29,507
Men I know, men I've trained.
110
00:10:29,508 --> 00:10:32,426
You need time to raise
the numbers to challenge the Rivermen.
111
00:10:32,427 --> 00:10:33,844
Speed is my ally.
112
00:10:33,845 --> 00:10:37,056
I will turn the Crownland houses
who declared for Rhaenyra to our cause.
113
00:10:37,057 --> 00:10:40,309
We will add their numbers to our own
and then turn west.
114
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:45,649
Where I will enlist the Brackens,
subdue the Riverlands, and take Harrenhal.
115
00:10:46,483 --> 00:10:48,652
So impatient to ride with so few men.
116
00:10:49,194 --> 00:10:52,071
So like to be destroyed
by the first stronghold you meet.
117
00:10:52,072 --> 00:10:54,573
- A bold scheme indeed.
- Well, the gods favor the bold.
118
00:10:54,574 --> 00:10:56,034
They did not favor Ser Arryk.
119
00:10:58,286 --> 00:11:00,080
What say you, my king?
120
00:11:02,124 --> 00:11:04,458
And you'll take Aemond and Vhagar?
121
00:11:04,459 --> 00:11:07,087
Vhagar will remain here
122
00:11:08,171 --> 00:11:09,172
to defend the city.
123
00:11:10,465 --> 00:11:13,009
Good. To war, then.
124
00:11:14,761 --> 00:11:16,762
- I'll come, too, with Sunfyre.
- Aegon.
125
00:11:16,763 --> 00:11:17,972
- Your Grace.
- You'll need a dragon.
126
00:11:17,973 --> 00:11:19,516
My plan is not to draw attention.
127
00:11:19,641 --> 00:11:22,560
And what will you do
if you encounter one or more
128
00:11:22,561 --> 00:11:23,811
of Rhaenyra's dragons?
129
00:11:23,812 --> 00:11:25,229
She'll want to answer for Ser Arryk.
130
00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:28,023
We will be more like to encounter one
if we field one of our own.
131
00:11:28,024 --> 00:11:31,193
That is precisely why
you must remain, brother.
132
00:11:31,194 --> 00:11:34,906
It's a brave thought,
but we cannot risk your loss.
133
00:11:39,119 --> 00:11:41,747
I'm as fearsome as any of them.
134
00:12:07,856 --> 00:12:10,858
{\an8}I was told you turned back
from your ship to bring warning.
135
00:12:10,859 --> 00:12:13,736
I was not believed at first.
136
00:12:13,737 --> 00:12:15,447
You saved my life.
137
00:12:15,822 --> 00:12:18,325
What is the life of a queen worth
these days?
138
00:12:19,701 --> 00:12:21,577
You wish to be rewarded.
139
00:12:21,578 --> 00:12:24,247
As, I would think,
you would wish to reward me.
140
00:12:27,417 --> 00:12:29,043
What price would you set?
141
00:12:29,044 --> 00:12:31,379
A place at your court.
142
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:37,843
You said your earnest desire
was to flee Westeros.
143
00:12:37,844 --> 00:12:39,678
And you let me go.
144
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,517
You showed me grace
when you could have withheld it.
145
00:12:44,768 --> 00:12:46,770
I'm not often surprised.
146
00:12:50,649 --> 00:12:52,818
One turn for another, then.
147
00:12:53,485 --> 00:12:55,778
I know the workings of the Red Keep
148
00:12:55,779 --> 00:12:58,948
and the movements
of those who serve there.
149
00:12:58,949 --> 00:13:01,868
That is worth more than gold to you now.
150
00:13:02,452 --> 00:13:03,995
And what is my worth to you?
151
00:13:08,125 --> 00:13:11,460
I would punish the Hightowers
for what they have done.
152
00:13:11,461 --> 00:13:14,881
To me, to those who served me.
153
00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:20,469
But more than that, I know the struggles
of the smallfolk of King's Landing.
154
00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:24,433
They will be ruled either by you
or by the usurper.
155
00:13:25,392 --> 00:13:28,311
And only one of you has shown yourself
to be merciful.
156
00:13:29,479 --> 00:13:31,982
Well, I hope you do not confuse
mercy with pliancy.
157
00:13:35,986 --> 00:13:37,946
Are they always like this?
158
00:13:38,864 --> 00:13:41,408
Seasmoke, my late lord husband's dragon.
159
00:13:42,617 --> 00:13:44,577
He's grown restless of late.
160
00:13:44,578 --> 00:13:47,664
- We cannot know why.
- Maybe he's lonely.
161
00:13:56,673 --> 00:13:58,300
Rhaena.
162
00:13:59,468 --> 00:14:00,886
Your Grace.
163
00:14:03,388 --> 00:14:08,601
I've decided to send Joffrey to ward
with my cousin, Lady Jeyne Arryn.
164
00:14:08,602 --> 00:14:11,145
She has pledged an army
in return for a dragon
165
00:14:11,146 --> 00:14:12,147
so she will have one.
166
00:14:12,272 --> 00:14:16,567
Aegon and Viserys will accompany him until
a place of greater safety can be found.
167
00:14:16,568 --> 00:14:18,278
Tyraxes is but a hatchling.
168
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:21,114
- And Stormcloud...
- I want you to go with them.
169
00:14:23,575 --> 00:14:25,576
The Red Keep is in disarray.
170
00:14:25,577 --> 00:14:27,078
They have sent one assassin in the night
171
00:14:27,079 --> 00:14:29,331
and their dragons
are ever a short flight away.
172
00:14:29,831 --> 00:14:33,000
You must take the little ones further.
To Pentos, I think.
173
00:14:33,001 --> 00:14:34,251
Where my mother died.
174
00:14:34,252 --> 00:14:36,880
It is safer than anywhere in Westeros.
175
00:14:37,964 --> 00:14:41,384
Write to Prince Reggio.
If he will have you, then go to him.
176
00:14:42,469 --> 00:14:44,512
I am sorry to put this upon you.
177
00:14:44,513 --> 00:14:48,599
It breaks my heart to send my boys away,
not knowing when I will see them again.
178
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,936
But you have seen
what may befall them here.
179
00:14:51,937 --> 00:14:53,230
Rhaena,
180
00:14:55,148 --> 00:14:58,151
I need you to be the mother
to them that I cannot.
181
00:14:59,486 --> 00:15:03,364
Teach them, train them,
guard them as a dragon guards her eggs.
182
00:15:03,365 --> 00:15:04,574
And my sister?
183
00:15:06,451 --> 00:15:08,411
- I need Baela here.
- Because she has a dragon.
184
00:15:08,412 --> 00:15:10,163
I cannot promise to make you happy.
185
00:15:10,288 --> 00:15:16,044
But I ask you: make this sacrifice
willingly, for all of us.
186
00:15:18,046 --> 00:15:19,256
Your Grace.
187
00:15:57,043 --> 00:15:58,503
Dragon!
188
00:18:32,699 --> 00:18:33,909
Halt!
189
00:18:47,881 --> 00:18:49,549
I'm claiming Harrenhal.
190
00:18:52,385 --> 00:18:54,012
Apparently so.
191
00:19:15,409 --> 00:19:18,619
I, Ser Simon Strong,
Castellan of Harrenhal,
192
00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:21,497
pledge fealty to Rhaenyra
of House Targaryen,
193
00:19:21,498 --> 00:19:23,457
First of Her Name.
194
00:19:23,458 --> 00:19:26,169
I swear this by the old gods and the new.
195
00:19:28,004 --> 00:19:31,007
Supper is venison
with black cabbage and peas.
196
00:19:31,925 --> 00:19:35,554
No redcurrant. Sorry about that.
197
00:19:43,979 --> 00:19:45,647
That venison is well aged.
198
00:19:47,441 --> 00:19:48,817
Shame to let it waste.
199
00:19:52,821 --> 00:19:54,155
I've survived many a battle.
200
00:19:54,156 --> 00:19:56,908
I do not mean to be felled
by poisoned peas.
201
00:19:58,285 --> 00:20:03,205
I'll admit that my cook's peas aren't
exactly the stuff of legend, but poison?
202
00:20:03,206 --> 00:20:05,500
Well, it's an easy way
to kill a dragonrider.
203
00:20:07,961 --> 00:20:11,173
If you've not yet surmised,
you are welcome here.
204
00:20:11,631 --> 00:20:14,384
And what of your lord, Larys Strong.
205
00:20:16,636 --> 00:20:18,804
He who sits at the false court of Aegon?
206
00:20:18,805 --> 00:20:22,100
Larys Clubfoot is no lord of mine.
207
00:20:23,226 --> 00:20:25,687
He is a scourge upon this castle
and this family.
208
00:20:27,689 --> 00:20:30,692
Do you not think it's strange
that his father,
209
00:20:32,819 --> 00:20:36,572
my nephew, Lord Lyonel, perished by fire?
210
00:20:36,573 --> 00:20:40,452
And his son, too, here in this damp place?
211
00:20:42,746 --> 00:20:45,999
It was the first fire here since Balerion
ended the line of Harren the Black.
212
00:20:46,875 --> 00:20:48,918
Even in the summer,
we struggle to light the hearths.
213
00:20:48,919 --> 00:20:52,379
So, no, you will find no loyalty
to Larys Strong here, my prince.
214
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:53,507
"Your Grace."
215
00:20:59,012 --> 00:21:00,847
Forgive me. I...
216
00:21:02,724 --> 00:21:05,684
I'd only assumed that as consort...
217
00:21:05,685 --> 00:21:08,188
Then we are reminded of the perilousness
of assumption.
218
00:21:09,898 --> 00:21:11,108
Indeed.
219
00:21:13,985 --> 00:21:15,404
Your Grace.
220
00:21:20,450 --> 00:21:23,744
What then brings you to our corner
of the Riverlands?
221
00:21:23,745 --> 00:21:26,832
Harrenhal is the largest castle
in the Seven Kingdoms.
222
00:21:27,874 --> 00:21:29,834
Or perhaps that has
escaped your attention.
223
00:21:29,835 --> 00:21:33,838
But it is also, not to be argumentative,
in something of a state of disrepair
224
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:37,383
since your forbear incinerated much of it
with his dragon.
225
00:21:37,384 --> 00:21:40,595
Well, that is precisely why we must
bring it into a state of repair.
226
00:21:41,721 --> 00:21:44,724
Even if we possessed the coin, my prin...
227
00:21:46,268 --> 00:21:48,477
Your Grace, to what possible end?
228
00:21:48,478 --> 00:21:52,565
There are 40,000 swords in the Riverlands,
the largest undeclared host in the realm.
229
00:21:52,566 --> 00:21:55,276
Only Harrenhal is of a size enough
to garrison them.
230
00:21:55,277 --> 00:21:58,571
You should know that a substantial number
of those swords have now declared
231
00:21:58,572 --> 00:22:00,364
and are presently at war.
232
00:22:00,365 --> 00:22:03,659
Houses Bracken and Blackwood
have long detested one another.
233
00:22:03,660 --> 00:22:05,662
- Why?
- Oh, well...
234
00:22:07,622 --> 00:22:12,043
the answer to that is lost in time.
235
00:22:13,086 --> 00:22:16,715
Sin begets sin begets sin.
236
00:22:19,593 --> 00:22:22,386
Summon your lord paramount
so that I may treat with him myself
237
00:22:22,387 --> 00:22:24,054
and turn them to our cause.
238
00:22:24,055 --> 00:22:27,516
That would be Lord Grover Tully,
but he grows frail.
239
00:22:27,517 --> 00:22:29,519
It's said that he can no longer speak
240
00:22:31,188 --> 00:22:32,647
nor seal his bowels.
241
00:22:33,607 --> 00:22:35,316
Begging your pardon for the impression.
242
00:22:35,317 --> 00:22:38,235
His grip on his bannermen is weak.
They feel they can do as they please.
243
00:22:38,236 --> 00:22:40,029
I will speak with him nonetheless.
244
00:22:40,030 --> 00:22:42,282
People should obey their liege lord
245
00:22:43,241 --> 00:22:45,077
whatever his condition.
246
00:22:46,036 --> 00:22:48,038
Perhaps the presence of the crown
247
00:22:49,164 --> 00:22:50,791
and a dragon
248
00:22:51,333 --> 00:22:53,960
will sharpen minds around these parts.
249
00:22:55,378 --> 00:22:57,589
Might I ask, Your Grace,
250
00:22:58,632 --> 00:23:02,176
if you are successful,
well, when you are successful,
251
00:23:02,177 --> 00:23:03,470
what then?
252
00:23:04,763 --> 00:23:07,390
We march on King's Landing
and take the throne.
253
00:23:09,476 --> 00:23:11,019
The throne.
254
00:23:14,272 --> 00:23:18,110
It's a big chair made of swords.
255
00:23:19,653 --> 00:23:22,780
Standard-bearers to the front!
256
00:23:22,781 --> 00:23:25,283
Packhorses to the rear!
257
00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:28,495
Clear way for the mounted knights...
258
00:23:39,673 --> 00:23:43,467
Lord Commander.
Your host is mustered and ready to march.
259
00:23:43,468 --> 00:23:44,970
He enjoys battle.
260
00:23:50,225 --> 00:23:52,184
I'm glad we're together, even briefly.
261
00:23:52,185 --> 00:23:53,562
Ser Criston.
262
00:23:55,063 --> 00:23:57,940
May I present my brother,
Ser Gwayne Hightower,
263
00:23:57,941 --> 00:23:59,942
arrived last night from Oldtown.
264
00:23:59,943 --> 00:24:01,236
Ser Criston.
265
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,866
Or mayhaps I should say, my lord Hand?
266
00:24:06,491 --> 00:24:08,410
Ser Gwayne, welcome to King's Landing.
267
00:24:09,161 --> 00:24:14,039
How exhilarating to arrive at court
after three long months on the road
268
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,669
to find my lord father,
who served three kings faithfully,
269
00:24:18,670 --> 00:24:20,172
unseated as Hand of the King.
270
00:24:22,507 --> 00:24:25,844
And by a man from such modest beginnings.
271
00:24:27,512 --> 00:24:30,515
What a giddying ascent
the gods have bestowed on you.
272
00:24:32,100 --> 00:24:34,978
Ser Gwayne has volunteered
to accompany you into battle.
273
00:24:39,149 --> 00:24:41,025
We have a full complement, Your Grace.
274
00:24:41,026 --> 00:24:43,070
Then you shall have a fuller one.
275
00:24:44,988 --> 00:24:46,531
The march will be hard, Ser.
276
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,078
No one is more delighted than I
to march out to war with a Dornishman.
277
00:24:52,829 --> 00:24:53,830
Sister.
278
00:25:01,963 --> 00:25:07,594
May the Seven guide you, good knight,
and lead you not into shadow and death.
279
00:25:09,721 --> 00:25:11,389
I thank Your Grace for her prayers.
280
00:25:15,352 --> 00:25:17,771
And request that she grant her favor
281
00:25:19,106 --> 00:25:21,650
that her Lord Commander may go into battle
with her blessings
282
00:25:23,235 --> 00:25:24,778
in his heart.
283
00:25:36,748 --> 00:25:37,958
Your Grace.
284
00:26:28,175 --> 00:26:30,177
Still no sightings.
285
00:26:31,136 --> 00:26:35,766
No men, no horses, no ships.
286
00:26:37,851 --> 00:26:39,810
- No dragons.
- Good.
287
00:26:39,811 --> 00:26:44,356
Then we must seize the hour and act
before our enemy does.
288
00:26:44,357 --> 00:26:47,151
They have penetrated our castle walls
and now the Riverlands are aflame
289
00:26:47,152 --> 00:26:49,362
after the Battle at the Burning Mill.
290
00:26:49,946 --> 00:26:52,532
How fares Prince Daemon with our army?
291
00:26:53,784 --> 00:26:56,952
There has been no word from Prince Daemon,
Your Grace.
292
00:26:56,953 --> 00:26:59,747
Then we must press what advantage
we do have.
293
00:26:59,748 --> 00:27:03,084
- And what is that?
- Dragons. Send them all out.
294
00:27:03,085 --> 00:27:06,962
Start turning Green strongholds
to our cause
295
00:27:06,963 --> 00:27:09,382
- and burn those who resist.
- No.
296
00:27:10,175 --> 00:27:13,762
If dragons begin fighting dragons,
we invite our own destruction.
297
00:27:14,888 --> 00:27:17,099
Fear of it is in itself a weapon.
298
00:27:17,808 --> 00:27:19,488
The Greens will make the same calculation.
299
00:27:22,437 --> 00:27:26,066
The value of a sword
is not within its scabbard.
300
00:27:26,650 --> 00:27:31,321
We will secure victory with armies,
not with dragons alone.
301
00:27:32,614 --> 00:27:33,990
The Greens understand that.
302
00:27:34,574 --> 00:27:36,743
The Vale and the North will send men.
303
00:27:38,203 --> 00:27:40,372
We must give Daemon time.
304
00:27:41,456 --> 00:27:44,542
Your Grace, you have witnessed
firsthand just how
305
00:27:44,543 --> 00:27:46,335
vulnerable you are.
306
00:27:46,336 --> 00:27:48,421
Prince Daemon is abroad
307
00:27:48,422 --> 00:27:51,465
and Aegon's factions
are enraged at the death of his son.
308
00:27:51,466 --> 00:27:53,634
You have never been so exposed.
309
00:27:53,635 --> 00:27:57,848
Perhaps it is time for you to think about
secreting yourself somewhere safe
310
00:27:58,348 --> 00:28:03,644
while we remain here
as a source of distraction for the enemy.
311
00:28:03,645 --> 00:28:05,604
You propose to conduct
the war in my absence.
312
00:28:05,605 --> 00:28:08,942
- It would merely be a precaution...
- It would be treason.
313
00:28:12,404 --> 00:28:14,573
You are fortunate you took it no further.
314
00:28:22,539 --> 00:28:24,165
This council would do well to remember
315
00:28:24,166 --> 00:28:26,792
that their queen wears
the crown of my grandsire,
316
00:28:26,793 --> 00:28:29,212
Jaehaerys the Conciliator.
317
00:28:29,713 --> 00:28:32,840
A prudent ruler,
the wisest of Targaryen kings,
318
00:28:32,841 --> 00:28:35,343
whose reign outlasted every other
319
00:28:37,596 --> 00:28:39,806
even Aegon the Conqueror's.
320
00:28:45,604 --> 00:28:47,480
So, how do they fare?
321
00:28:47,481 --> 00:28:49,565
The ditherers of Dragonstone?
322
00:28:49,566 --> 00:28:53,611
Rhaenyra's council is wayward.
She has a hard task.
323
00:28:53,612 --> 00:28:55,988
I must hope she will rise to it
324
00:28:55,989 --> 00:28:59,408
but I fear she'll need you by her side
sooner than late.
325
00:28:59,409 --> 00:29:01,495
This bread, still warm.
326
00:29:02,287 --> 00:29:04,289
There's broth too. I made sure of it.
327
00:29:05,749 --> 00:29:07,751
I am no longer an invalid.
328
00:29:14,633 --> 00:29:17,636
I bade farewell to Rhaena
before I returned.
329
00:29:21,098 --> 00:29:22,724
I wish her well.
330
00:29:24,601 --> 00:29:26,936
I would fight a hundred battles
before I went into exile
331
00:29:26,937 --> 00:29:28,980
with none but prattling babes.
332
00:29:30,482 --> 00:29:32,776
One of those babes is your heir.
333
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,694
Joffrey.
334
00:29:35,362 --> 00:29:40,450
A boy of six who knows nothing of the sea
and yet somehow...
335
00:29:41,034 --> 00:29:44,954
It would displease neither Rhaenyra
nor the gods
336
00:29:44,955 --> 00:29:47,707
if Rhaena were named heir to Driftmark.
337
00:29:50,085 --> 00:29:53,088
Rhaena? Lord of the Tides?
338
00:29:53,713 --> 00:29:56,507
The girl knows nothing of ships,
nor even of dragons.
339
00:29:56,508 --> 00:29:59,010
There is Rhaena or there is Joffrey.
340
00:29:59,719 --> 00:30:03,723
Both soon to be far from
the creak of ships and the ocean's roar.
341
00:30:05,225 --> 00:30:08,395
Then we must hope to
342
00:30:09,855 --> 00:30:12,148
see our way forward, in time.
343
00:30:12,149 --> 00:30:14,443
And if there is no time?
344
00:30:16,987 --> 00:30:19,197
We are at war, Corlys.
345
00:30:21,074 --> 00:30:25,911
- If something were to befall you...
- Then it is well
346
00:30:25,912 --> 00:30:27,748
that I am a good sailor.
347
00:30:41,636 --> 00:30:43,429
I have much to attend to.
348
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:45,098
Corlys, Corl...
349
00:31:08,663 --> 00:31:12,249
I cannot spare a fighting dragon,
but I send what I can.
350
00:31:12,250 --> 00:31:15,128
Stormcloud and Tyraxes are small,
but they will grow.
351
00:31:17,380 --> 00:31:20,216
It is for you to remind Lady Jeyne
of her pledge
352
00:31:20,217 --> 00:31:23,929
and persuade her of the urgency
of our need.
353
00:31:30,435 --> 00:31:32,646
Go safely, sister.
354
00:31:34,106 --> 00:31:35,732
I will be safe enough.
355
00:31:36,441 --> 00:31:39,944
Far away from any danger,
with only babes to nursemaid.
356
00:31:39,945 --> 00:31:42,238
You do a great service
357
00:31:42,239 --> 00:31:44,573
and may yet find yourself glad to be
out of harm's way.
358
00:31:44,574 --> 00:31:46,367
Do not coddle me, Baela.
359
00:31:46,368 --> 00:31:48,994
- Grant me at least that dignity.
- I meant no insult.
360
00:31:48,995 --> 00:31:50,580
We each do what we can.
361
00:31:51,331 --> 00:31:54,084
And here, I think, is some consolation.
362
00:31:56,837 --> 00:31:59,756
Tyraxes and Stormcloud
are young and vulnerable.
363
00:32:00,966 --> 00:32:03,969
These eggs are even more fragile.
364
00:32:05,345 --> 00:32:08,348
But should all come to ruin here
365
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:11,518
you will bear our hope for the future.
366
00:32:14,146 --> 00:32:15,147
Your Grace.
367
00:32:16,565 --> 00:32:17,858
Mommy.
368
00:33:53,495 --> 00:33:54,913
My Queen.
369
00:33:57,290 --> 00:33:59,209
I feel sad about Jaehaerys.
370
00:34:00,544 --> 00:34:03,171
But I ought not to, I think.
371
00:34:04,131 --> 00:34:07,759
People die all the time, especially babes.
372
00:34:09,010 --> 00:34:12,764
They're so little,
so they're taken so easily.
373
00:34:16,309 --> 00:34:18,562
Sadness is a condition of motherhood.
374
00:34:19,271 --> 00:34:21,481
There's naught to be gained from it.
375
00:34:26,236 --> 00:34:29,697
That horrid procession where the smallfolk
all stared at me.
376
00:34:29,698 --> 00:34:33,785
I warrant they thought I had no more right
to grief than they do.
377
00:34:36,329 --> 00:34:39,291
Surely they lose their babes
more than highborn ladies.
378
00:34:43,962 --> 00:34:45,964
The Stranger comes for us all,
379
00:34:47,132 --> 00:34:48,759
queen and commoner.
380
00:34:50,802 --> 00:34:53,221
You have as much claim to grief as anyone.
381
00:34:55,515 --> 00:34:56,725
And you?
382
00:35:01,354 --> 00:35:03,147
I loved Jaehaerys, but my concern has been
383
00:35:03,148 --> 00:35:05,650
more for you and what you have endured.
384
00:35:08,361 --> 00:35:10,906
- Helaena, I...
- I forgive you.
385
00:35:12,741 --> 00:35:13,909
What?
386
00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:21,041
I said that I forgive you.
387
00:35:27,130 --> 00:35:29,091
Suits you, Your Grace.
388
00:35:29,633 --> 00:35:32,843
Valyrian steel.
Worth more than a castle.
389
00:35:32,844 --> 00:35:35,097
A sight to stir the passions.
390
00:35:35,764 --> 00:35:37,765
Aegon the Conqueror reborn.
391
00:35:37,766 --> 00:35:39,141
Just get on with it.
392
00:35:39,142 --> 00:35:40,601
At once, Your Grace.
393
00:35:40,602 --> 00:35:42,394
What is your business?
394
00:35:42,395 --> 00:35:45,440
There are rumors that the King
readies himself to fly to war.
395
00:35:46,108 --> 00:35:47,776
And what is it to you?
396
00:35:48,485 --> 00:35:50,069
Only that I think
it would benefit all of us
397
00:35:50,070 --> 00:35:53,447
to prevent our king from being
brutally slain by our enemies
398
00:35:53,448 --> 00:35:57,034
and his body parts scattered to beasts
and his court come to ruin.
399
00:35:57,035 --> 00:35:58,537
Would you not agree?
400
00:36:01,498 --> 00:36:03,250
What exquisite armor.
401
00:36:06,378 --> 00:36:09,338
I was given the Conqueror's name
and his crown
402
00:36:09,339 --> 00:36:11,632
so I shall wear his armor to war.
403
00:36:11,633 --> 00:36:13,718
I fly to meet Ser Criston.
404
00:36:15,178 --> 00:36:18,014
Small imposition before you depart then,
Your Grace.
405
00:36:29,025 --> 00:36:32,611
There are diverse rumors
whispered on the streets of your city.
406
00:36:32,612 --> 00:36:35,990
One such is that Your Grace sends
his forces to battle
407
00:36:35,991 --> 00:36:39,161
and, in his courage and wisdom,
flies with them.
408
00:36:41,538 --> 00:36:45,040
Another is that His Grace
was outwitted by his counselors
409
00:36:45,041 --> 00:36:48,002
and persuaded to fly to war
with Ser Criston
410
00:36:48,003 --> 00:36:52,340
so that Queen Alicent
may reign in his absence
411
00:36:53,133 --> 00:36:55,594
with Prince Aemond at her side.
412
00:36:57,179 --> 00:36:58,805
Absurd, of course.
413
00:37:01,892 --> 00:37:03,560
Who spreads these lies?
414
00:37:04,478 --> 00:37:06,104
It matters little.
415
00:37:06,646 --> 00:37:08,857
Tales take on a life of their own
416
00:37:09,691 --> 00:37:10,817
like weeds.
417
00:37:11,443 --> 00:37:13,445
Unless they are tended.
418
00:37:14,571 --> 00:37:16,239
Well, tend to them then.
419
00:37:24,790 --> 00:37:25,957
Lord Larys.
420
00:37:28,168 --> 00:37:32,422
My father always said he had no use
for a master of whisperers.
421
00:37:34,007 --> 00:37:38,220
And yet I find myself wanting for one.
422
00:37:39,888 --> 00:37:42,265
I should be glad of your talents.
423
00:37:46,561 --> 00:37:48,563
You honor me, Your Grace.
424
00:37:54,986 --> 00:37:57,989
Shall we escort you to the Dragonpit,
Your Grace?
425
00:38:04,788 --> 00:38:07,207
I think, mayhaps, I shall fly another day.
426
00:38:07,791 --> 00:38:10,584
Yeah, it does seem wise on reflection.
427
00:38:10,585 --> 00:38:12,795
You could come out with us, my king.
428
00:38:12,796 --> 00:38:15,132
Ser Martyn has a new squire
that wants bedding in.
429
00:38:15,757 --> 00:38:18,176
He's never fucked a woman.
430
00:38:18,677 --> 00:38:20,262
But you are sworn to chastity now.
431
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,434
Of course, Your Grace.
432
00:38:31,606 --> 00:38:32,941
Yes, Your Grace.
433
00:39:10,228 --> 00:39:12,396
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't tell me you're going.
434
00:39:12,397 --> 00:39:14,649
- I'm not going yet.
- I've only just got here.
435
00:39:18,528 --> 00:39:19,654
There he is!
436
00:39:21,573 --> 00:39:24,201
Ulf, Ulf, come on, son!
437
00:39:26,036 --> 00:39:30,248
It turns out, it was her sister.
Probably should've told me.
438
00:39:31,208 --> 00:39:33,125
I know, I know, I know!
439
00:39:33,126 --> 00:39:35,252
Take that one. You'll get your pound
of flesh, don't worry.
440
00:39:35,253 --> 00:39:37,046
Sit yourself down, mate.
441
00:39:37,047 --> 00:39:38,006
Hello.
442
00:39:38,007 --> 00:39:39,090
I've been tellin' this fella
all about you.
443
00:39:39,091 --> 00:39:41,050
Oh, lads.
444
00:39:41,051 --> 00:39:43,219
- I've had quite a day of it.
- Yeah?
445
00:39:43,220 --> 00:39:45,180
Not sure I'm much for talkin'.
446
00:39:46,181 --> 00:39:49,601
Although, you know,
a wet whistle works wonders.
447
00:39:54,606 --> 00:39:57,400
Come on, Ulf, give us a
flagon over there, yeah?
448
00:39:57,401 --> 00:40:00,569
Here, my darling, one for the flagon,
one for yourself.
449
00:40:00,570 --> 00:40:02,489
There's a good girl, eh?
450
00:40:06,827 --> 00:40:08,536
No sense of fun, some of 'em.
451
00:40:08,537 --> 00:40:12,124
- For you, man of Dorne.
- Dornish, are ya?
452
00:40:13,208 --> 00:40:14,375
Yes, I am.
453
00:40:14,376 --> 00:40:16,961
The part of Westeros
my house never settled.
454
00:40:16,962 --> 00:40:18,379
Although, it's said even Dorne
455
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:20,966
mourned the passing of my grandsire.
Is that so?
456
00:40:21,550 --> 00:40:23,176
Who was your grandsire?
457
00:40:26,847 --> 00:40:29,599
They call him the Conciliator.
458
00:40:30,350 --> 00:40:31,435
King Jaehaerys?
459
00:40:34,146 --> 00:40:37,481
Thousand apologies. Please, continue.
460
00:40:37,482 --> 00:40:40,193
Look, I really shouldn't be
telling you this.
461
00:40:41,111 --> 00:40:42,570
You'll cost me my head.
462
00:40:42,571 --> 00:40:44,239
You are saying you're a Targaryen?
463
00:40:50,203 --> 00:40:53,415
I'm the son of Baelon the Brave.
464
00:40:54,207 --> 00:40:59,086
Bastard brother to Prince Daemon
and the late King Viserys.
465
00:40:59,087 --> 00:41:04,384
Uncle to the one true queen,
Rhaenyra Targaryen.
466
00:41:05,385 --> 00:41:08,095
The blood of the dragon
runs through these veins.
467
00:41:08,096 --> 00:41:11,558
And, yes, men would take my head for it.
468
00:41:14,352 --> 00:41:16,520
A Dragonseed must watch his own neck
469
00:41:16,521 --> 00:41:20,233
when he has no white-cloaked guardsmen
to do it for him.
470
00:41:22,152 --> 00:41:24,446
You do not look very
much like King Viserys
471
00:41:25,489 --> 00:41:26,990
or Prince Daemon.
472
00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:31,077
How do you know what they look like?
473
00:41:31,078 --> 00:41:36,624
He speaks truth, right enough.
Look, you can tell by his hair.
474
00:41:36,625 --> 00:41:39,960
Yeah, 'cause I'm their
half-brother, you fuckwit.
475
00:41:39,961 --> 00:41:42,463
Yeah, I'll tell you who else
doesn't have silver hair.
476
00:41:42,464 --> 00:41:47,052
The rightful heir to the Iron Throne,
my nephew, Prince Jacaerys Velaryon.
477
00:41:51,181 --> 00:41:52,808
Here's your other nephew.
478
00:42:00,065 --> 00:42:03,193
- All hail the King!
- All hail the King!
479
00:42:04,986 --> 00:42:08,573
Drinks for all!
At the pleasure of the crown!
480
00:42:13,412 --> 00:42:15,539
At the pleasure of the crown!
481
00:42:16,873 --> 00:42:18,874
Sit down. Sit yourself down.
482
00:42:18,875 --> 00:42:21,085
- Sit!
- Drink the wine, boy.
483
00:42:21,086 --> 00:42:23,255
- Come on, then!
- Drink up, little piggy!
484
00:42:24,589 --> 00:42:26,383
This night is for you.
485
00:42:27,175 --> 00:42:28,176
You!
486
00:42:36,852 --> 00:42:39,770
Did I tell you I came here as a lad?
487
00:42:39,771 --> 00:42:45,318
It's a little tame,
but a good a place as any to get it wet.
488
00:42:46,862 --> 00:42:48,989
I know just the tutor for you, my boy.
489
00:42:52,492 --> 00:42:53,576
No.
490
00:42:53,577 --> 00:42:55,537
She's worth three times the price.
491
00:42:58,331 --> 00:43:00,041
Oh, gods be good.
492
00:43:01,501 --> 00:43:02,501
That's you!
493
00:43:02,502 --> 00:43:08,258
Her name is Sylvi, or Selyse or,
I don't know, something like that.
494
00:43:17,350 --> 00:43:18,935
Aemond, the fierce!
495
00:43:20,145 --> 00:43:22,271
You have come so far
496
00:43:22,272 --> 00:43:25,525
and yet you still
lie with your very first.
497
00:43:26,777 --> 00:43:29,738
What a fine, sweet thing.
498
00:43:31,448 --> 00:43:33,492
Did you fuck her like a hound?
499
00:43:37,579 --> 00:43:39,705
You see, I do not exaggerate.
500
00:43:39,706 --> 00:43:41,874
Such is the madam's prowess,
501
00:43:41,875 --> 00:43:45,545
that even now my brother
will not sample another.
502
00:43:48,340 --> 00:43:50,049
Hard luck for your squire, though.
503
00:43:50,050 --> 00:43:54,012
As you can see, she...
she's now very much occupied.
504
00:44:03,188 --> 00:44:05,148
Your squire is welcome to her.
505
00:44:06,858 --> 00:44:08,652
One whore is as good as another.
506
00:45:25,979 --> 00:45:28,482
{\an8}Ser Gwayne! Halt!
507
00:45:34,362 --> 00:45:37,491
Ser Gwayne,
our company is camped back yonder.
508
00:45:38,075 --> 00:45:40,326
On the cold, hard ground.
509
00:45:40,327 --> 00:45:44,413
Which is why we make for the Bull,
a tavern with an excellent reputation
510
00:45:44,414 --> 00:45:46,123
on the Rosby Road, not two miles away
511
00:45:46,124 --> 00:45:48,250
- if memory serves.
- We march to make the first strike
512
00:45:48,251 --> 00:45:49,419
in the name of His Grace.
513
00:45:50,420 --> 00:45:54,424
I assure you, my nephew
will not begrudge me a night of comfort.
514
00:46:00,055 --> 00:46:05,268
If it soothes your brow, Cole, we will
rendezvous with your army at first light.
515
00:46:05,769 --> 00:46:08,939
Or, if their wine is good,
perhaps a little after first light.
516
00:46:11,525 --> 00:46:13,527
- We're exposed.
- What?
517
00:46:15,487 --> 00:46:18,198
- Cole?
- Get to the trees!
518
00:48:16,775 --> 00:48:18,777
A good showing, Ser Criston.
519
00:48:22,030 --> 00:48:23,322
I am in your debt.
520
00:48:23,323 --> 00:48:25,741
They know we're abroad.
They'll be hunting.
521
00:48:25,742 --> 00:48:29,287
And we must move under the trees
and by cover of dark, starting tonight.
522
00:48:30,372 --> 00:48:32,582
And no fucking inns.
523
00:48:35,794 --> 00:48:37,295
Ser Criston Cole
524
00:48:38,380 --> 00:48:41,173
with some half-dozen other knights,
I'm sure of it.
525
00:48:41,174 --> 00:48:43,300
Perhaps a scout party for a greater army.
526
00:48:43,301 --> 00:48:45,428
The ravens confirm it, Your Grace.
527
00:48:45,429 --> 00:48:51,809
Lord Farring has reported a larger force
moving northeast towards Rosby.
528
00:48:51,810 --> 00:48:54,562
Could you be certain it was Cole
from such a great height?
529
00:48:54,563 --> 00:48:57,065
It was not such a great height,
Your Grace.
530
00:48:59,443 --> 00:49:02,820
You said not to engage,
so I didn't, exactly.
531
00:49:02,821 --> 00:49:06,949
Your Grace, we commend the Lady Baela
for her sharp eyes
532
00:49:06,950 --> 00:49:08,492
but we can tarry no longer.
533
00:49:08,493 --> 00:49:10,745
The time for action is surely now.
534
00:49:10,746 --> 00:49:13,581
Your Grace, I must agree
and request your permission
535
00:49:13,582 --> 00:49:16,250
to return to Rook's Rest
and fortify my lands.
536
00:49:16,251 --> 00:49:19,628
I shouldn't fret, Lord Simon.
They'll be making for Harrenhal.
537
00:49:19,629 --> 00:49:21,589
'Tis Prince Daemon who ought to worry.
538
00:49:21,590 --> 00:49:23,174
Prince Daemon has Caraxes.
539
00:49:23,175 --> 00:49:27,303
Cole will look to increase his numbers
and he may call upon a dragon of his own.
540
00:49:27,304 --> 00:49:31,140
This is why you must act now, Your Grace.
541
00:49:31,141 --> 00:49:33,810
Loose the dragons.
Root Cole out and burn him.
542
00:49:49,868 --> 00:49:51,870
I have heard your arguments.
543
00:49:53,497 --> 00:49:55,499
And will consider them.
544
00:51:54,409 --> 00:51:57,120
Always coming and going, aren't you?
545
00:52:03,585 --> 00:52:05,921
And I have to clean up afterwards.
546
00:52:47,337 --> 00:52:49,256
You will die in this place.
547
00:53:08,525 --> 00:53:11,402
...my youngest brother,
Emmon, would stand at guard
548
00:53:11,403 --> 00:53:13,404
with the soldiers when
he was three years old.
549
00:53:13,405 --> 00:53:14,822
Father has sent him to the Citadel.
550
00:53:14,823 --> 00:53:17,325
- Now, if you ask me...
- Thank you, Elinda.
551
00:53:17,951 --> 00:53:19,161
Your Grace.
552
00:53:26,585 --> 00:53:29,588
What do you know of the movements
of Alicent Hightower?
553
00:53:33,049 --> 00:53:35,886
Would you take her hostage?
554
00:53:36,386 --> 00:53:38,471
Or kill her outright?
555
00:53:38,472 --> 00:53:41,558
I would speak with her, myself.
556
00:53:42,392 --> 00:53:44,728
Killing her would be easier.
557
00:53:46,146 --> 00:53:49,357
If war can be averted,
it is my duty to avert it.
558
00:53:50,108 --> 00:53:52,736
I have reason to believe she may be
of the same opinion.
559
00:53:53,612 --> 00:53:56,781
She sent a raven.
She has expressed her remorse.
560
00:53:56,782 --> 00:53:59,366
I can have a message brought to her,
in secret.
561
00:53:59,367 --> 00:54:01,160
She would not agree to it.
562
00:54:01,161 --> 00:54:07,041
She would suspect some subterfuge,
as would I, if I received such a message.
563
00:54:07,042 --> 00:54:10,378
I must see her face to face.
564
00:54:13,757 --> 00:54:15,633
She is the queen dowager.
565
00:54:15,634 --> 00:54:18,720
She goes nowhere without many eyes
watching her.
566
00:54:22,891 --> 00:54:23,934
Unless...
567
00:54:27,938 --> 00:54:30,148
- 'Tis fraught.
- Speak it.
568
00:54:31,316 --> 00:54:34,945
There are fishing boats
aplenty in the bay.
569
00:54:35,779 --> 00:54:37,363
The city depends on them.
570
00:54:37,364 --> 00:54:39,907
Daemon made the journey unhindered.
571
00:54:39,908 --> 00:54:43,077
- But if I'm recognized...
- You may be surprised to learn it,
572
00:54:43,078 --> 00:54:46,956
but most folk pay no mind
to a woman who has not dressed as a queen
573
00:54:46,957 --> 00:54:50,043
or allured herself for the eyes of men.
574
00:54:53,296 --> 00:54:56,799
So, I make my way to the Red Keep,
I presume,
575
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,844
and ring the bell.
576
00:54:59,177 --> 00:55:01,720
Or do I scale the wall
and enter at her window?
577
00:55:01,721 --> 00:55:06,560
There is one place Alicent goes
outside the castle walls
578
00:55:08,437 --> 00:55:10,522
where you may yet find her alone.
579
00:55:31,668 --> 00:55:33,962
Stop. Search the carts.
580
00:55:38,467 --> 00:55:40,176
What's your business here?
581
00:55:40,177 --> 00:55:43,472
Move 'em on through, move 'em on through.
582
00:58:06,031 --> 00:58:07,615
No, no.
583
00:58:07,616 --> 00:58:08,950
What...
584
00:58:10,952 --> 00:58:13,580
- What...
- I must speak with you.
585
00:58:18,126 --> 00:58:19,586
If I cry out?
586
00:58:20,587 --> 00:58:21,546
Your knights would find me.
587
00:58:21,547 --> 00:58:25,467
I would be taken or slain,
though not before I killed you.
588
00:58:27,385 --> 00:58:28,386
And then what?
589
00:58:32,599 --> 00:58:33,975
I have begun badly.
590
00:58:47,739 --> 00:58:50,533
We watched the tourney
together, you and I,
591
00:58:50,534 --> 00:58:53,245
the day my brother was born.
592
00:58:54,913 --> 00:58:57,623
We knew, even then,
that men trained up for battle
593
00:58:57,624 --> 00:59:01,711
are eager to fight,
to seek blood and glory.
594
00:59:02,170 --> 00:59:04,005
But you are...
595
00:59:05,882 --> 00:59:09,094
I know you do not have
that desire within you.
596
00:59:15,350 --> 00:59:17,768
Rhaenys has counseled me.
597
00:59:17,769 --> 00:59:22,149
She said she saw in you a wish to avert
the worst of what may now come.
598
00:59:25,152 --> 00:59:27,112
So you've come to surrender then?
599
00:59:28,822 --> 00:59:33,452
I have come to see if we may uncover
some path towards peace.
600
00:59:34,828 --> 00:59:37,621
My dragons are restless.
They smell battle.
601
00:59:37,622 --> 00:59:39,916
But if you and I may come to terms...
602
00:59:40,041 --> 00:59:42,043
There are no terms now.
603
00:59:43,587 --> 00:59:45,171
You have no army,
604
00:59:45,172 --> 00:59:47,214
your allies turn from you
when they hear of your depravity,
605
00:59:47,215 --> 00:59:49,008
your hands are bloodied in a crime
I could never have
606
00:59:49,009 --> 00:59:51,720
- imagined you...
- The trespass was not mine.
607
00:59:52,637 --> 00:59:54,264
Think what you will.
608
00:59:54,973 --> 00:59:57,493
I am a mother too and you have yet
to answer for the murder of my son.
609
00:59:57,517 --> 01:00:00,854
- I repudiate that act with all my heart.
- Of course, you do.
610
01:00:01,563 --> 01:00:03,774
And the usurping of
my rightful inheritance?
611
01:00:21,708 --> 01:00:23,042
Have you now stooped so low
612
01:00:23,043 --> 01:00:26,295
that you will countenance the suffering
and death of thousands
613
01:00:26,296 --> 01:00:27,838
in order that your feckless son...
614
01:00:27,839 --> 01:00:29,549
Your father changed his mind.
615
01:00:30,050 --> 01:00:31,509
Oh, so you say.
616
01:00:31,510 --> 01:00:34,303
And so your father
has proclaimed to the realm.
617
01:00:34,304 --> 01:00:37,015
I saw the king that night.
618
01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:41,227
Mere hours before I left him,
he had affirmed my right to the throne,
619
01:00:41,228 --> 01:00:44,146
a right he upheld steadfastly,
620
01:00:44,147 --> 01:00:46,858
every day of his life
after my mother died.
621
01:00:48,443 --> 01:00:50,444
And yet, you will maintain that
his mind was changed
622
01:00:50,445 --> 01:00:52,406
- in an instant?
- I will.
623
01:00:53,907 --> 01:00:55,492
You lie.
624
01:00:56,451 --> 01:00:58,078
No, Rhaenyra.
625
01:01:01,039 --> 01:01:03,041
My father loved me, Alicent.
626
01:01:03,625 --> 01:01:05,836
And I believe he loved you, too.
627
01:01:07,546 --> 01:01:09,548
Did you betray him at the very last?
628
01:01:11,133 --> 01:01:13,217
When was your plan first laid?
629
01:01:13,218 --> 01:01:17,012
- Was your ambition so keen...
- He changed his mind, Rhaenyra.
630
01:01:17,013 --> 01:01:18,723
He changed his mind.
631
01:01:23,061 --> 01:01:26,356
I swear this to you
on the memory of my mother.
632
01:01:30,485 --> 01:01:33,405
I have been at times unkind
but never untrue.
633
01:01:33,864 --> 01:01:35,448
I pronounced before all
gathered in that room
634
01:01:35,449 --> 01:01:37,951
that you would make a fine queen.
635
01:01:38,910 --> 01:01:40,787
Do you think me capable
of such naked deceit?
636
01:02:01,683 --> 01:02:03,894
What did he say, at the end?
637
01:02:07,147 --> 01:02:09,316
Did he speak my name?
638
01:02:29,461 --> 01:02:31,088
He was weary.
639
01:02:33,548 --> 01:02:36,176
It was hard, at times, to understand.
640
01:02:38,303 --> 01:02:39,846
But he spoke Aegon's name.
641
01:02:48,313 --> 01:02:51,400
He said he was the prince
that was promised to unite the realm.
642
01:02:52,526 --> 01:02:55,069
- What?
- I desire peace as you do but if...
643
01:02:55,070 --> 01:02:57,405
Did my father use those words?
644
01:02:57,406 --> 01:02:58,657
The Prince That Was Promised?
645
01:03:01,118 --> 01:03:02,493
Did he?
646
01:03:02,494 --> 01:03:04,246
Yes, he did.
647
01:03:07,499 --> 01:03:11,253
He spoke to you
of the Song of Ice and Fire?
648
01:03:18,427 --> 01:03:20,929
It's a story he once told
649
01:03:22,264 --> 01:03:24,683
about Aegon the Conqueror.
650
01:03:30,188 --> 01:03:32,190
The Conqueror.
651
01:03:49,791 --> 01:03:51,625
You must go before you are discovered.
652
01:03:51,626 --> 01:03:53,586
- There's been a mistake.
- There's been no mistake.
653
01:03:53,587 --> 01:03:54,671
Please.
654
01:03:56,548 --> 01:03:58,550
You can prevent this, Alicent.
655
01:04:00,135 --> 01:04:02,178
A terrible war is looming
656
01:04:02,179 --> 01:04:05,181
and even victory may be so bloody
as to be counted a loss.
657
01:04:05,182 --> 01:04:08,852
- Do not let your pride blind...
- There's been no mistake.
658
01:04:12,939 --> 01:04:15,067
My father is gone from court.
659
01:04:16,485 --> 01:04:18,487
Cole is on the march, Aemond...
660
01:04:20,947 --> 01:04:22,783
you know what Aemond is.
661
01:04:29,372 --> 01:04:31,792
- It's too late, Rhaenyra.
- Alicent.
