1
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:32,237
There you are.
2
00:02:41,872 --> 00:02:44,875
The Sea Snake is going to die,
isn't he?
3
00:02:47,669 --> 00:02:50,756
- Luke...
- I can't be Lord of the Tides.
4
00:02:50,839 --> 00:02:53,425
Grandsire was the greatest sailor
who ever lived.
5
00:02:53,508 --> 00:02:56,386
I get greensick before the ship
even leaves the harbor.
6
00:02:57,095 --> 00:02:58,388
I'll just ruin everything.
7
00:03:00,057 --> 00:03:01,683
I don't want Driftmark.
8
00:03:02,476 --> 00:03:04,061
It should've passed on to Ser Vaemond.
9
00:03:04,144 --> 00:03:07,314
We don't choose our destiny, Luke.
It chooses us.
10
00:03:07,397 --> 00:03:10,400
Grandsire let you choose
whether you'd be his heir.
11
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,569
You told us so.
12
00:03:17,115 --> 00:03:20,035
And do you want
to know the truth of it?
13
00:03:22,788 --> 00:03:24,081
I was frightened.
14
00:03:25,832 --> 00:03:29,211
I was four-and-ten.
15
00:03:29,294 --> 00:03:30,379
Same as you are now.
16
00:03:31,838 --> 00:03:35,717
I wasn't ready
to be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.
17
00:03:36,051 --> 00:03:39,262
But it was my duty.
18
00:03:39,346 --> 00:03:41,890
And, in time, I came to understand
19
00:03:41,973 --> 00:03:44,267
I had to earn my inheritance.
20
00:03:46,061 --> 00:03:47,646
I'm not like you.
21
00:03:47,729 --> 00:03:50,065
- In what way, sweet boy?
- I'm not so...
22
00:03:52,818 --> 00:03:53,819
perfect.
23
00:04:03,829 --> 00:04:05,455
I am anything but.
24
00:04:07,124 --> 00:04:11,044
My father looked after me
and helped to prepare me for my duties.
25
00:04:11,128 --> 00:04:14,256
Your mother will do the same for you.
26
00:04:15,340 --> 00:04:16,675
Good morrow, Princess.
27
00:04:16,758 --> 00:04:17,926
Good morrow, Ser Lorent.
28
00:04:19,719 --> 00:04:22,264
Princess Rhaenys
has just arrived on dragonback.
29
00:04:22,347 --> 00:04:25,058
She urgently requests an audience
with you and Prince Daemon.
30
00:04:43,326 --> 00:04:45,579
The Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
31
00:04:45,662 --> 00:04:46,746
Thank you, Ser Lorent.
32
00:04:51,126 --> 00:04:52,919
Princess Rhaenys,
33
00:04:53,003 --> 00:04:55,714
might we hope for news
of Lord Corlys's recovery?
34
00:04:55,797 --> 00:04:57,007
Viserys is dead.
35
00:05:03,513 --> 00:05:06,183
I grieve this loss
with you, Rhaenyra.
36
00:05:06,266 --> 00:05:09,144
My cousin, your father...
37
00:05:10,854 --> 00:05:12,314
possessed a kind heart.
38
00:05:23,617 --> 00:05:24,868
There is more.
39
00:05:26,786 --> 00:05:28,872
Aegon has been crowned as his successor.
40
00:05:36,254 --> 00:05:37,631
They crowned him?
41
00:05:39,716 --> 00:05:42,052
How did Viserys die?
42
00:05:42,135 --> 00:05:43,261
I could not say.
43
00:05:44,513 --> 00:05:46,556
- How long ago?
- A day past, perhaps two.
44
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,535
I was made a prisoner in my quarters
while the Queen made her preparations.
45
00:05:49,559 --> 00:05:50,810
Viserys has been slain.
46
00:05:52,687 --> 00:05:56,775
Alicent demanded you declare for Aegon.
47
00:05:58,610 --> 00:05:59,819
She did.
48
00:06:02,447 --> 00:06:04,699
- I refused her.
- And yet you are alive.
49
00:06:08,203 --> 00:06:10,580
The High Septon crowned Aegon...
50
00:06:10,664 --> 00:06:11,849
...in the Dragonpit.
51
00:06:11,873 --> 00:06:14,960
I witnessed it myself
just before I fled on Meleys.
52
00:06:15,043 --> 00:06:18,296
They crowned him before the masses.
53
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:20,775
So that the masses
would see him as their rightful king.
54
00:06:20,799 --> 00:06:24,052
That whore of a Queen murdered
my brother and stole his throne.
55
00:06:24,135 --> 00:06:25,775
And you could have
burned them all for it.
56
00:06:26,721 --> 00:06:29,933
A war is like to be fought
over this treachery, to be sure.
57
00:06:31,142 --> 00:06:32,142
Hmm.
58
00:06:33,895 --> 00:06:36,856
But that war is not mine to begin.
59
00:06:37,524 --> 00:06:38,858
I only rushed this warning to you
60
00:06:38,942 --> 00:06:41,903
out of loyalty to my husband
and to my house.
61
00:06:43,613 --> 00:06:45,657
The Greens are coming for you, Rhaenyra.
62
00:06:46,908 --> 00:06:48,118
And for your children.
63
00:06:50,078 --> 00:06:52,038
You should leave Dragonstone at once.
64
00:07:12,601 --> 00:07:13,643
The babe is coming.
65
00:07:21,818 --> 00:07:23,612
Her term is far from complete.
66
00:07:23,695 --> 00:07:25,381
This should not be happening.
67
00:07:25,405 --> 00:07:27,741
It is fucking happening.
68
00:07:29,326 --> 00:07:31,870
Keep your head about you,
Princess. Come.
69
00:07:33,038 --> 00:07:35,624
We've done this
five times before.
70
00:07:35,707 --> 00:07:38,126
Keep your spirit,
and the sixth will be no different.
71
00:07:38,209 --> 00:07:40,629
Get off, get off,
get off, get off!
72
00:07:40,712 --> 00:07:43,423
Ow, ow, ow.
73
00:07:46,843 --> 00:07:48,696
I want patrols along
the island's perimeter,
74
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,097
looking for any small ships
that might set ashore.
75
00:07:52,265 --> 00:07:55,060
If the Greens attack now,
it will be by stealth...
76
00:07:55,143 --> 00:07:56,579
...not directly.
77
00:07:56,603 --> 00:07:58,483
We don't have enough men
to surround the island,
78
00:07:58,521 --> 00:08:01,107
but we can make ourselves
appear stronger than they are.
79
00:08:04,694 --> 00:08:06,988
Conscript the Dragonkeepers.
They're capable fighters.
80
00:08:07,072 --> 00:08:09,491
- Waste no time.
- It will be done, my prince.
81
00:08:21,586 --> 00:08:25,048
- What was that?
- I'm sorry.
82
00:08:25,715 --> 00:08:27,676
You might go easier
83
00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:29,427
on him, my prince,
84
00:08:29,511 --> 00:08:31,846
so he can learn what
you're trying to teach.
85
00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:34,474
Your lady mother
needs to see you!
86
00:08:36,351 --> 00:08:38,144
Both of you.
87
00:08:39,354 --> 00:08:40,897
Mother?
88
00:08:43,942 --> 00:08:44,943
Fuck.
89
00:08:47,821 --> 00:08:48,822
Princess.
90
00:08:59,290 --> 00:09:02,711
Your grandsire, King Viserys,
has passed.
91
00:09:02,794 --> 00:09:04,170
Viserys?
92
00:09:04,254 --> 00:09:07,132
The Greens have
repudiated the succession
93
00:09:07,215 --> 00:09:08,925
and claimed the Iron Throne.
94
00:09:13,054 --> 00:09:14,764
Aegon has been crowned king.
95
00:09:16,266 --> 00:09:18,977
- What is to be done about it?
- Nothing yet.
96
00:09:19,060 --> 00:09:21,730
- And where is Daemon?
- I don't know.
97
00:09:21,813 --> 00:09:23,356
Gone to madness.
98
00:09:25,483 --> 00:09:26,735
Gone to plot his war.
99
00:09:28,236 --> 00:09:30,864
- Leave Daemon with me.
- Jace.
100
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:32,782
Jacaerys.
101
00:09:38,496 --> 00:09:42,125
Whatever claim remains to me,
you are now its heir.
102
00:09:42,625 --> 00:09:45,128
Naught is to be done but by my command.
103
00:10:00,602 --> 00:10:01,746
A raven flew in this morning.
104
00:10:01,770 --> 00:10:05,023
The Sea Snake's fever has broken,
and he has left Evenfall.
105
00:10:05,106 --> 00:10:08,568
- Where is he sailing?
- That much is unclear, my prince.
106
00:10:08,651 --> 00:10:10,445
We'll send ravens to our nearest allies,
107
00:10:10,528 --> 00:10:13,031
Lords Darklyn, Massey...
108
00:10:13,823 --> 00:10:15,825
- ...and Bar Emmon.
- Daemon!
109
00:10:16,993 --> 00:10:19,412
Do you want to speak
to the maester, my prince?
110
00:10:28,004 --> 00:10:29,482
I'll fly
to the Riverlands myself
111
00:10:29,506 --> 00:10:30,840
and affirm Lord Tully's support.
112
00:10:30,924 --> 00:10:31,966
You will do no such thing.
113
00:10:35,261 --> 00:10:38,306
My mother has decreed no action be taken
while she's abed.
114
00:10:44,646 --> 00:10:46,940
It's good you're here, young Prince.
115
00:10:48,107 --> 00:10:50,193
You're needed to patrol
the skies on Vermax.
116
00:10:50,276 --> 00:10:51,277
Did you hear what I said?
117
00:10:55,865 --> 00:10:57,283
The ravens, Lord Bartimos.
118
00:10:59,619 --> 00:11:00,787
I shall see it done.
119
00:11:00,870 --> 00:11:02,372
Summon Ser Steffon.
120
00:11:02,455 --> 00:11:05,083
Our Kingsguard are needed
on the Dragonmont.
121
00:11:05,708 --> 00:11:08,336
Come with me. I'll show you
the true meaning of loyalty.
122
00:11:16,344 --> 00:11:18,930
You swore an oath
as knights of the Kingsguard.
123
00:11:19,013 --> 00:11:21,182
As do all who wear
the white cloak, my prince.
124
00:11:23,059 --> 00:11:24,269
To whom?
125
00:11:25,478 --> 00:11:29,315
I swore first to King Jaehaerys,
my prince.
126
00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:30,608
And then to His Grace,
127
00:11:30,692 --> 00:11:32,902
King Viserys, when he succeeded him.
128
00:11:32,986 --> 00:11:35,113
Do you acknowledge
the true line of succession?
129
00:11:35,947 --> 00:11:37,740
- Yes.
- Yes, my prince.
130
00:11:44,372 --> 00:11:46,416
Do you recall
131
00:11:46,499 --> 00:11:49,043
who King Viserys named
as his heir before his death?
132
00:11:52,589 --> 00:11:53,590
Princess Rhaenyra.
133
00:11:56,467 --> 00:11:57,467
Hmm.
134
00:11:58,428 --> 00:12:00,471
I'm grateful for
your long service to the Crown
135
00:12:03,141 --> 00:12:05,059
So I'm presenting you with a choice.
136
00:12:28,416 --> 00:12:31,002
Swear anew your oath
to Rhaenyra as your queen...
137
00:12:32,462 --> 00:12:35,840
to Prince Jacaerys as the heir
to the Iron Throne.
138
00:12:40,845 --> 00:12:41,845
Or...
139
00:12:41,888 --> 00:12:44,265
if you support the usurper,
speak it now...
140
00:12:46,142 --> 00:12:48,662
...and you will have
a clean and honorable death.
141
00:12:49,479 --> 00:12:51,356
But if you choose treachery,
142
00:12:51,898 --> 00:12:55,276
if you swear fealty now
only to later turn your cloaks...
143
00:12:58,154 --> 00:13:02,033
know that you will die... screaming.
144
00:13:08,289 --> 00:13:09,958
Princess, let us help you.
145
00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:14,629
No.
146
00:13:17,006 --> 00:13:19,759
- Get out!
- Princess, please.
147
00:13:19,842 --> 00:13:21,654
- Get out.
- You should not do this alone, Princess.
148
00:13:21,678 --> 00:13:22,804
Let us help you.
149
00:13:36,442 --> 00:13:37,777
Ah!
150
00:13:43,866 --> 00:13:44,866
Ah!
151
00:16:47,967 --> 00:16:49,447
I mean no harm, brothers.
152
00:17:13,075 --> 00:17:14,869
I swear to ward the Queen...
153
00:17:17,747 --> 00:17:18,789
with all my strength...
154
00:17:21,209 --> 00:17:23,336
and give my blood for hers.
155
00:17:28,382 --> 00:17:29,842
I shall take no wife...
156
00:17:32,011 --> 00:17:33,429
hold no lands...
157
00:17:34,847 --> 00:17:37,141
father no children.
158
00:17:37,516 --> 00:17:39,810
I shall guard her secrets...
159
00:17:40,269 --> 00:17:42,063
obey her commands...
160
00:17:43,147 --> 00:17:46,234
ride at her side, and defend her name
and honor.
161
00:18:13,469 --> 00:18:14,553
My queen.
162
00:19:56,739 --> 00:19:58,574
Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen,
163
00:19:58,657 --> 00:20:00,618
First of Her Name,
164
00:20:00,701 --> 00:20:03,162
Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar
and the First Men.
165
00:20:04,789 --> 00:20:07,583
Lady of the Seven Kingdoms
and Protector of the Realm.
166
00:20:12,004 --> 00:20:13,005
Your Grace.
167
00:20:22,098 --> 00:20:23,516
Wine, my queen.
168
00:20:26,852 --> 00:20:27,852
Thank you, Rhaena.
169
00:20:29,230 --> 00:20:30,272
Come.
170
00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:56,817
- What is our standing?
- We have 30 knights,
171
00:20:56,841 --> 00:20:59,385
a hundred crossbowmen,
and 300 men-at-arms.
172
00:20:59,468 --> 00:21:01,345
Dragonstone is relatively
easy to defend,
173
00:21:01,429 --> 00:21:02,749
but as an instrument of conquest,
174
00:21:02,805 --> 00:21:05,057
our army leaves a lot to be desired.
175
00:21:05,141 --> 00:21:07,309
We have sent word to my loyal men
in the City Watch.
176
00:21:07,393 --> 00:21:09,913
I'll have some support there,
but I cannot speak to the numbers.
177
00:21:09,979 --> 00:21:13,482
We already have declarations
from Celtigar and Staunton,
178
00:21:13,566 --> 00:21:15,609
Massey, Darklyn, Bar Emmon.
179
00:21:18,779 --> 00:21:20,865
My lady mother was an Arryn.
180
00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:23,367
The Vale will not turn cloak
against their own kin.
181
00:21:23,451 --> 00:21:26,829
Riverrun was always a close friend
to your father, Your Grace.
182
00:21:26,912 --> 00:21:28,456
With Prince Daemon's acquiescence,
183
00:21:28,539 --> 00:21:31,041
I've already sent ravens to Lord Grover.
184
00:21:34,879 --> 00:21:37,256
Lord Grover is fickle and easily swayed.
185
00:21:37,339 --> 00:21:39,699
He will need to be convinced
of the strength of our position
186
00:21:39,758 --> 00:21:42,470
and that we will support him
should it come to war.
187
00:21:42,553 --> 00:21:44,597
I'm going to treat with him myself.
188
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,390
What of Storm's End
and Winterfell?
189
00:21:46,474 --> 00:21:49,101
There has never
lived a Stark who forgot an oath.
190
00:21:49,185 --> 00:21:51,896
And with House Stark,
the North will follow.
191
00:21:51,979 --> 00:21:55,608
Lord Borros Baratheon will need
to be reminded of his father's promises.
192
00:22:08,704 --> 00:22:10,206
What news from Driftmark?
193
00:22:13,501 --> 00:22:15,377
Lord Corlys sails for Dragonstone.
194
00:22:15,461 --> 00:22:17,087
To declare for his Queen.
195
00:22:19,089 --> 00:22:22,051
The Velaryon fleet
is in my husband's yoke.
196
00:22:22,134 --> 00:22:24,011
He decides where they sail.
197
00:22:24,094 --> 00:22:27,389
We shall pray for both you
and your husband's support.
198
00:22:27,473 --> 00:22:30,559
Just as we prayed nightly for
the Sea Snake's return to good health.
199
00:22:32,186 --> 00:22:33,914
There's no port on the Narrow Sea
would dare to make
200
00:22:33,938 --> 00:22:35,898
an enemy of the Velaryon fleet.
201
00:22:37,983 --> 00:22:38,983
And our enemies?
202
00:22:39,026 --> 00:22:40,626
We have no friends among the Lannisters.
203
00:22:41,362 --> 00:22:44,365
Tyland has served the Hand
too long to turn against him.
204
00:22:44,448 --> 00:22:46,617
And Otto Hightower
needs the Lannister fleet.
205
00:22:46,700 --> 00:22:48,261
Without the Lannisters,
we are not like to find
206
00:22:48,285 --> 00:22:50,645
- any allies west of the Golden Tooth.
- No.
207
00:22:53,791 --> 00:22:55,709
The Riverlands are essential,
Your Grace.
208
00:22:57,378 --> 00:23:00,756
Pray forgive my bluntness, Your Grace,
but talk of men is moot.
209
00:23:01,423 --> 00:23:05,052
Your cause owns a power
that has not been seen in this world
210
00:23:05,135 --> 00:23:07,638
since the days of Old Valyria.
211
00:23:07,721 --> 00:23:08,847
Dragons.
212
00:23:12,101 --> 00:23:13,519
The Greens have dragons as well.
213
00:23:13,602 --> 00:23:15,604
They have three adults, by my count.
214
00:23:15,688 --> 00:23:18,524
We have Syrax, Caraxes, and Meleys.
215
00:23:18,607 --> 00:23:21,527
Your sons have
Vermax, Arrax, and Tyraxes.
216
00:23:21,610 --> 00:23:23,529
Baela has Moondancer.
217
00:23:23,612 --> 00:23:25,372
Daemon, none of our dragons
have been to war.
218
00:23:25,406 --> 00:23:27,908
There are also unclaimed dragons.
219
00:23:27,992 --> 00:23:29,618
Seasmoke still resides on Driftmark.
220
00:23:29,702 --> 00:23:32,580
Vermithor and Silverwing
dwell on the Dragonmont,
221
00:23:32,663 --> 00:23:33,831
still riderless.
222
00:23:34,832 --> 00:23:37,251
Then there are the three wild dragons,
all of whom nest here.
223
00:23:37,334 --> 00:23:38,603
And who is to ride them?
224
00:23:38,627 --> 00:23:41,005
Dragonstone
has 13 to their 4.
225
00:23:42,047 --> 00:23:45,217
I also have a score of eggs
incubating in the Dragonmont.
226
00:23:45,301 --> 00:23:48,762
Now... we need a place to gather,
227
00:23:48,846 --> 00:23:52,433
a toehold large enough
to house a sizable host.
228
00:23:52,516 --> 00:23:53,517
Here, at Harrenhal.
229
00:23:53,601 --> 00:23:54,601
We cut off the west,
230
00:23:54,602 --> 00:23:56,202
surround King's Landing
with the dragons.
231
00:23:56,228 --> 00:23:58,081
And we could have every Green head
mounted on spikes
232
00:23:58,105 --> 00:23:59,982
before the fucking moon turns.
233
00:24:00,065 --> 00:24:01,650
Your Grace...
234
00:24:01,734 --> 00:24:03,527
a ship has been sighted offshore,
235
00:24:03,611 --> 00:24:06,155
a lone galleon, flying a banner
of a three-headed Green dragon.
236
00:24:06,238 --> 00:24:08,558
Alert the watchtowers. Sight the skies.
237
00:24:46,111 --> 00:24:49,073
I come at the behest
of the Dowager Queen Alicent,
238
00:24:49,156 --> 00:24:51,325
mother of King Aegon,
Second of His Name,
239
00:24:51,408 --> 00:24:54,203
Lord and Protector
of the Seven Kingdoms.
240
00:24:55,037 --> 00:24:58,582
I've been directed to deliver
her message only to Princess Rhaenyra.
241
00:25:00,376 --> 00:25:02,294
Where is the Princess?
242
00:25:56,724 --> 00:25:58,767
Princess Rhaenyra.
243
00:25:59,727 --> 00:26:01,019
I'm Queen Rhaenyra now.
244
00:26:02,604 --> 00:26:04,857
And you all are traitors to the realm.
245
00:26:05,357 --> 00:26:09,153
King Aegon Targaryen,
Second of His Name...
246
00:26:10,863 --> 00:26:14,324
in his wisdom and desire for peace,
247
00:26:14,408 --> 00:26:15,909
is offering terms.
248
00:26:18,287 --> 00:26:19,997
Acknowledge Aegon as king
249
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,916
and swear obeisance
before the Iron Throne.
250
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,712
In exchange, His Grace will confirm
your possession of Dragonstone.
251
00:26:27,546 --> 00:26:31,175
It will pass to your trueborn son,
Jacaerys, upon your death.
252
00:26:31,258 --> 00:26:34,595
Lucerys will be confirmed
as the legitimate heir to Driftmark
253
00:26:34,678 --> 00:26:37,556
and all the lands and holdings
of House Velaryon.
254
00:26:37,639 --> 00:26:39,433
Your sons by Prince Daemon
255
00:26:39,516 --> 00:26:42,436
will also be given places
of high honor at court,
256
00:26:42,978 --> 00:26:44,980
Aegon the Younger as the King's squire,
257
00:26:45,063 --> 00:26:47,107
Viserys as his cupbearer.
258
00:26:47,191 --> 00:26:49,151
Finally, the King, in his good grace,
259
00:26:49,234 --> 00:26:53,697
will pardon any knight or lord
who conspired against his ascent.
260
00:26:54,406 --> 00:26:57,159
I would rather feed my sons
to the dragons
261
00:26:57,242 --> 00:27:00,370
than have them carry shields and cups
262
00:27:00,454 --> 00:27:04,124
for your drunken,
usurper cunt of a king.
263
00:27:04,583 --> 00:27:07,795
Aegon Targaryen sits the Iron Throne.
264
00:27:09,046 --> 00:27:10,839
He wears the Conqueror's crown,
265
00:27:10,923 --> 00:27:12,674
wields the Conqueror's sword,
266
00:27:12,758 --> 00:27:14,176
has the Conqueror's name.
267
00:27:14,635 --> 00:27:17,054
He was anointed by a septon of the Faith
268
00:27:17,137 --> 00:27:19,014
before the eyes of thousands.
269
00:27:19,097 --> 00:27:23,018
Every symbol of legitimacy
belongs to him.
270
00:27:25,562 --> 00:27:28,857
And then there is Stark,
Tully, Baratheon.
271
00:27:28,941 --> 00:27:32,986
Houses that have also received,
and are at present,
272
00:27:33,070 --> 00:27:36,281
considering generous terms
from their king.
273
00:27:38,075 --> 00:27:40,953
Stark, Tully, and Baratheon
all swore to me
274
00:27:42,204 --> 00:27:44,873
when King Viserys named me his heir.
275
00:27:45,582 --> 00:27:49,419
Stale oaths will not put you
on the Iron Throne, Princess.
276
00:27:50,087 --> 00:27:54,091
The succession changed the day
your father sired a son.
277
00:27:54,591 --> 00:27:58,512
I only regret that you and he
were the last to see the truth of it.
278
00:27:59,513 --> 00:28:01,807
You are no more Hand than Aegon is king.
279
00:28:01,890 --> 00:28:03,517
Fucking traitor.
280
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:16,905
Grand Maester.
281
00:28:22,202 --> 00:28:23,370
What the fuck is this?
282
00:28:38,927 --> 00:28:42,514
Queen Alicent has not forgotten
the love you once had for each other.
283
00:28:44,057 --> 00:28:49,563
No blood need be spilled.
The realm can carry on in peace.
284
00:28:53,066 --> 00:28:55,360
Queen Alicent eagerly
awaits your answer.
285
00:28:55,444 --> 00:28:57,725
She can have her answer now,
stuffed in her father's mouth
286
00:28:57,779 --> 00:28:58,989
along with his withered cock.
287
00:28:59,072 --> 00:29:00,782
Let's end this mummer's farce.
288
00:29:02,534 --> 00:29:05,871
Ser Erryk, bring me Lord Hightower
so I may take the pleasure myself.
289
00:29:10,834 --> 00:29:11,835
No.
290
00:29:23,639 --> 00:29:25,807
King's Landing will have
my answer on the morrow.
291
00:29:48,288 --> 00:29:51,249
It's no easy thing
for a man to be a dragonslayer.
292
00:29:52,334 --> 00:29:54,753
But dragons can kill dragons. And have.
293
00:29:56,296 --> 00:29:59,466
The simple truth is this,
we have more dragons than Aegon.
294
00:29:59,716 --> 00:30:02,135
Viserys spoke often
of the Valyrian histories.
295
00:30:02,219 --> 00:30:03,220
I know them well.
296
00:30:04,471 --> 00:30:06,181
When dragons flew to war...
297
00:30:07,516 --> 00:30:08,684
everything burned.
298
00:30:11,103 --> 00:30:14,189
I do not wish to rule
over a kingdom of ash and bone.
299
00:30:14,272 --> 00:30:16,692
Are you considering
the Hightowers' terms, Your Grace?
300
00:30:17,609 --> 00:30:21,321
As Queen, what is my true duty
to the realm, Lord Bartimos?
301
00:30:21,822 --> 00:30:23,365
Ensuring peace and unity?
302
00:30:23,448 --> 00:30:26,326
Or that I sit the Iron Throne,
no matter the cost?
303
00:30:26,410 --> 00:30:28,704
- That's your father talking.
- My father's dead.
304
00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:33,000
And he chose me as his successor...
305
00:30:35,377 --> 00:30:37,921
to defend the realm,
not cast it headlong into war.
306
00:30:38,005 --> 00:30:39,381
Well, the enemy have declared war.
307
00:30:40,257 --> 00:30:41,800
What are you gonna do about it?
308
00:30:45,387 --> 00:30:46,596
Clear the room.
309
00:31:17,085 --> 00:31:18,670
Does the promise of war excite you?
310
00:31:18,754 --> 00:31:20,547
You cannot bend the knee
to the Hightowers.
311
00:31:20,630 --> 00:31:22,174
They stole your birthright.
312
00:31:22,257 --> 00:31:23,943
If you could
take the Iron Throne
313
00:31:23,967 --> 00:31:26,053
without putting Otto Hightower's
head on a spike,
314
00:31:26,136 --> 00:31:27,655
- would you?
- Are you not angry?
315
00:31:27,679 --> 00:31:30,074
- I should declare war because I'm angry?
- No.
316
00:31:30,098 --> 00:31:32,142
Because it's your duty
as Queen to crush rebellion.
317
00:31:32,225 --> 00:31:35,937
You know my oath
reaches beyond our personal ambitions.
318
00:31:39,232 --> 00:31:40,734
A Song of Ice and Fire.
319
00:31:43,862 --> 00:31:44,863
What?
320
00:31:46,364 --> 00:31:48,134
The coming war against
the darkness in the North.
321
00:31:48,158 --> 00:31:49,242
The Conqueror's Dream.
322
00:31:50,285 --> 00:31:52,245
Viserys shared it with me
when he named me heir.
323
00:31:57,292 --> 00:32:01,296
My brother... was a slave to his
omens and portents.
324
00:32:02,547 --> 00:32:05,801
Anything to make his feckless reign
appear to have purpose.
325
00:32:09,805 --> 00:32:11,348
Dreams didn't make us kings.
326
00:32:12,849 --> 00:32:13,934
Dragons did.
327
00:32:32,410 --> 00:32:33,745
He never told you...
328
00:32:37,791 --> 00:32:39,000
did he?
329
00:33:16,288 --> 00:33:20,125
I've had men whipped for falling asleep
on their watch.
330
00:33:26,673 --> 00:33:27,757
You are no man.
331
00:33:33,013 --> 00:33:34,222
You abandoned me...
332
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:37,809
when I most needed you.
333
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:41,313
Both our children stolen from us.
334
00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:44,357
I needed you.
335
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:46,484
Baela and Rhaena needed you,
336
00:33:46,568 --> 00:33:49,654
and you abandoned us
for more adventure at sea.
337
00:33:49,738 --> 00:33:51,781
As has always been your way.
338
00:33:53,491 --> 00:33:55,577
I had no other place to turn.
339
00:33:57,370 --> 00:34:00,248
- I lost everything.
- We lost, Corlys.
340
00:34:02,626 --> 00:34:03,627
We.
341
00:34:16,723 --> 00:34:18,266
I understand we have a new king.
342
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:21,895
The Stranger casts a long shadow
over this family.
343
00:34:28,860 --> 00:34:30,445
Your brother is also dead.
344
00:34:35,700 --> 00:34:38,662
In his haste to bury you
and claim your seat,
345
00:34:38,745 --> 00:34:40,247
he stood before the King
346
00:34:40,330 --> 00:34:43,208
and denounced
Laenor's sons as illegitimate.
347
00:34:48,296 --> 00:34:49,756
Daemon took his head for it.
348
00:34:55,470 --> 00:34:59,182
Heedless ambition has always been
a Velaryon weakness.
349
00:35:04,312 --> 00:35:05,939
You were right, Rhaenys.
350
00:35:08,066 --> 00:35:11,319
I reached too far. And for nothing.
351
00:35:13,947 --> 00:35:18,535
Our pursuit of the Iron Throne...
is at an end.
352
00:35:23,248 --> 00:35:25,667
We shall declare for no one.
353
00:35:27,669 --> 00:35:29,296
We will retire to High Tide
354
00:35:29,921 --> 00:35:31,047
to be content...
355
00:35:32,090 --> 00:35:34,467
with our grandchildren and...
356
00:35:34,551 --> 00:35:37,262
Jace, Luke, and Joff
are claimants to the throne.
357
00:35:39,431 --> 00:35:41,975
Those boys'll not be safe
so long as Aegon is king.
358
00:35:44,811 --> 00:35:48,606
Rhaenyra was complicit
in our son's death.
359
00:35:50,442 --> 00:35:53,069
That girl destroys
everything she touches.
360
00:35:53,153 --> 00:35:55,113
That "girl"...
361
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:57,198
is holding the realm together
at present.
362
00:35:58,450 --> 00:36:00,243
Every man standing
'round the Painted Table
363
00:36:00,327 --> 00:36:02,162
urges her to plunge the realm into war.
364
00:36:04,873 --> 00:36:08,084
Rhaenyra's the only
one who's demonstrated restraint.
365
00:36:08,168 --> 00:36:10,337
The purpose of war
is to fill graveyards,
366
00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:11,504
my dear Lord Staunton.
367
00:36:11,588 --> 00:36:14,758
The trick is to put more of their men
in the ground than your own.
368
00:36:14,841 --> 00:36:16,444
Easy words
for a lord who commands
369
00:36:16,468 --> 00:36:18,070
- from the safety of his castle.
- Doesn't make it any less true.
370
00:36:18,094 --> 00:36:19,454
The Lord of the Tides!
371
00:36:20,388 --> 00:36:21,806
Lord Corlys Velaryon...
372
00:36:23,266 --> 00:36:26,436
and his wife,
the Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.
373
00:36:38,198 --> 00:36:39,783
My lords.
374
00:36:39,866 --> 00:36:41,493
Lord Corlys.
375
00:36:42,327 --> 00:36:45,038
It brings much relief to see you hale
and healthy again.
376
00:36:47,457 --> 00:36:50,293
I'm very sorry about your father,
Princess.
377
00:36:50,835 --> 00:36:52,837
He was a good man.
378
00:37:04,099 --> 00:37:05,308
Where is Daemon?
379
00:37:06,434 --> 00:37:09,437
There were other concerns which
demanded the Prince's attention.
380
00:37:10,980 --> 00:37:11,980
Mmm.
381
00:37:20,782 --> 00:37:22,200
Your declared allies?
382
00:37:23,743 --> 00:37:26,746
- Yes.
- Too few to win a war for the throne.
383
00:37:28,998 --> 00:37:31,668
Well, we would also
hope to have the support
384
00:37:31,751 --> 00:37:34,754
- of Houses Arryn, Baratheon, and Stark.
- Hope...
385
00:37:35,630 --> 00:37:37,173
is the fool's ally.
386
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,011
Both Arryn and Baratheon
share blood with my house.
387
00:37:42,095 --> 00:37:44,139
But all of them swore oaths to me.
388
00:37:44,222 --> 00:37:46,057
As did House Hightower...
389
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:47,308
if I remember.
390
00:37:47,392 --> 00:37:50,437
As did you, Lord Corlys.
391
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:05,618
Your father's realm...
392
00:38:06,744 --> 00:38:09,664
was one of justice and honor.
393
00:38:10,707 --> 00:38:14,794
Our houses are bound by common blood
and common cause.
394
00:38:16,713 --> 00:38:19,716
This Hightower treason cannot stand.
395
00:38:25,346 --> 00:38:28,558
You have the full support
of our fleet and house.
396
00:38:30,518 --> 00:38:31,519
Your Grace.
397
00:38:40,570 --> 00:38:42,363
You honor me, Lord Corlys.
398
00:38:48,536 --> 00:38:50,580
Princess Rhaenys.
399
00:38:54,584 --> 00:38:58,254
But, as I said to my bannermen,
400
00:38:58,338 --> 00:39:01,966
I made a promise to my father
to hold the realm strong and united.
401
00:39:03,885 --> 00:39:06,971
If war's first stroke is to fall,
it will not be by my hand.
402
00:39:08,431 --> 00:39:09,807
You do not mean to act?
403
00:39:09,891 --> 00:39:13,394
Taking caution
does not mean standing fast.
404
00:39:13,478 --> 00:39:18,483
I wish to know who my allies are
before I send them to war.
405
00:39:26,199 --> 00:39:27,534
The consequence of my...
406
00:39:28,743 --> 00:39:31,746
near-demise in the Stepstones...
407
00:39:32,997 --> 00:39:34,832
is that we now control them.
408
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,086
I took care to fully garrison
the territory this time.
409
00:39:38,169 --> 00:39:40,004
A total blockade of the shipping lanes
410
00:39:40,088 --> 00:39:43,132
will be in place in days,
if not already.
411
00:39:43,216 --> 00:39:45,635
The Triarchy have been routed.
412
00:39:45,718 --> 00:39:47,679
The Narrow Sea is ours.
413
00:39:50,473 --> 00:39:53,268
If we further seal
the Gullet,
414
00:39:53,351 --> 00:39:56,354
we can cut off
all seaborne travel and trade
415
00:39:56,437 --> 00:39:57,689
to King's Landing.
416
00:39:58,690 --> 00:40:01,192
I shall take Meleys
and patrol the Gullet myself.
417
00:40:06,406 --> 00:40:08,116
When we drain the Narrow Sea,
418
00:40:09,284 --> 00:40:11,286
we can surround King's Landing,
419
00:40:11,369 --> 00:40:13,621
lay siege to the Red Keep,
420
00:40:13,705 --> 00:40:16,165
and force the Greens' surrender.
421
00:40:16,249 --> 00:40:19,961
If we are to have enough swords
to surround King's Landing,
422
00:40:20,044 --> 00:40:23,673
we must first secure the support of
Winterfell, the Eyrie, and Storm's End.
423
00:40:23,756 --> 00:40:25,800
I'll prepare the ravens, Your Grace.
424
00:40:26,634 --> 00:40:28,234
We should bear
those messages.
425
00:40:30,179 --> 00:40:32,265
Dragons can fly faster than ravens
426
00:40:33,224 --> 00:40:34,350
and they're more convincing.
427
00:40:38,396 --> 00:40:39,606
Send us.
428
00:40:41,524 --> 00:40:42,984
The Prince is right, Your Grace.
429
00:40:52,619 --> 00:40:53,661
Very well.
430
00:40:54,662 --> 00:40:56,790
Prince Jacaerys will fly north.
431
00:40:57,832 --> 00:41:01,002
First to the Eyrie to see my mother's
cousin, the Lady Jeyne Arryn,
432
00:41:01,085 --> 00:41:04,005
and then to Winterfell
to treat with Lord Cregan Stark
433
00:41:04,088 --> 00:41:06,007
for the support of the North.
434
00:41:07,133 --> 00:41:09,927
Prince Lucerys will fly
south to Storm's End
435
00:41:10,011 --> 00:41:12,805
and treat with Lord Borros Baratheon.
436
00:41:12,889 --> 00:41:17,018
We must remind these lords
of the oaths they swore.
437
00:41:18,645 --> 00:41:21,105
And... the cost of breaking them.
438
00:41:45,755 --> 00:41:50,301
It's been said that as Targaryens,
we are closer to gods than to men.
439
00:41:52,845 --> 00:41:55,348
And the Iron Throne
puts us a touch closer, perhaps.
440
00:41:57,558 --> 00:42:01,187
But, if we are to serve
the Seven Kingdoms...
441
00:42:02,522 --> 00:42:04,982
we must answer to their gods.
442
00:42:05,525 --> 00:42:10,071
If you take this errand,
you go as messengers... not as warriors.
443
00:42:10,697 --> 00:42:12,865
You must take no part in any fighting.
444
00:42:14,701 --> 00:42:18,037
Swear it to me now
under the eyes of the Seven.
445
00:42:23,543 --> 00:42:24,711
I swear it.
446
00:42:29,590 --> 00:42:30,758
I swear it.
447
00:42:31,968 --> 00:42:32,969
Thank you.
448
00:42:36,681 --> 00:42:38,683
Cregan Stark is...
449
00:42:39,559 --> 00:42:41,102
closer to your age than to mine.
450
00:42:41,728 --> 00:42:45,398
I would hope, that as men,
you can find some common interest.
451
00:42:46,607 --> 00:42:47,692
Yes, Your Grace.
452
00:42:56,367 --> 00:42:58,578
Storm's End is a short flight from here.
453
00:43:00,371 --> 00:43:03,875
You have Baratheon blood
from your grandmother, Rhaenys.
454
00:43:03,958 --> 00:43:05,293
And...
455
00:43:05,376 --> 00:43:07,795
Lord Borros is an eternally proud man.
456
00:43:08,755 --> 00:43:11,632
He will be honored
to host a prince of the realm...
457
00:43:12,884 --> 00:43:14,218
and his dragon.
458
00:43:23,186 --> 00:43:25,730
I expect you will receive
a very warm welcome.
459
00:43:27,774 --> 00:43:29,525
Yes, Mother. Your Grace.
460
00:43:39,035 --> 00:43:40,787
Go to it then.
461
00:47:21,966 --> 00:47:23,718
I am Prince Lucerys Velaryon.
462
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,804
I bring a message to Lord Borros
from the Queen.
463
00:47:43,863 --> 00:47:45,489
Prince Lucerys Velaryon.
464
00:47:52,371 --> 00:47:55,374
Son
of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.
465
00:47:59,962 --> 00:48:01,380
Lord Borros...
466
00:48:03,174 --> 00:48:04,884
I brought you a message
from my mother...
467
00:48:06,302 --> 00:48:07,511
the Queen.
468
00:48:08,554 --> 00:48:11,515
Yet earlier this day,
I received an envoy from the King.
469
00:48:13,142 --> 00:48:14,185
Which is it?
470
00:48:14,894 --> 00:48:17,605
King or Queen?
471
00:48:17,688 --> 00:48:20,191
The House of the Dragon
does not seem to know who rules it.
472
00:48:23,194 --> 00:48:24,987
What's your mother's message?
473
00:48:41,921 --> 00:48:43,631
Where's the bloody maester?
474
00:49:18,457 --> 00:49:21,710
"Remind" me of my father's oath?
475
00:49:23,546 --> 00:49:25,506
King Aegon at least came with an offer,
476
00:49:25,589 --> 00:49:28,384
my swords and banners
for a marriage pact.
477
00:49:29,677 --> 00:49:31,637
If I do as your mother bids...
478
00:49:32,972 --> 00:49:35,307
which one of my daughters
will you wed...
479
00:49:37,017 --> 00:49:38,018
boy?
480
00:49:39,186 --> 00:49:42,273
My lord... I am not free to marry.
481
00:49:43,691 --> 00:49:45,025
I'm already betrothed.
482
00:49:47,361 --> 00:49:49,655
So you come with empty hands.
483
00:49:51,866 --> 00:49:54,034
Go home, pup.
484
00:49:54,118 --> 00:49:56,287
And tell your mother
that the Lord of Storm's End
485
00:49:56,370 --> 00:50:00,958
is not some dog that she can whistle up
at need to set against her foes.
486
00:50:03,127 --> 00:50:06,463
I shall take your answer
to the Queen, my lord.
487
00:50:13,220 --> 00:50:14,305
Wait...
488
00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:18,017
my lord Strong.
489
00:50:23,063 --> 00:50:27,401
Did you really think
that you could just fly about the realm
490
00:50:27,484 --> 00:50:30,112
trying to steal my brother's throne
at no cost?
491
00:50:31,864 --> 00:50:33,073
I will not fight you.
492
00:50:34,617 --> 00:50:37,494
I came as a messenger, not a warrior.
493
00:50:37,578 --> 00:50:39,205
A fight would be little challenge.
494
00:50:42,291 --> 00:50:43,500
No.
495
00:50:44,376 --> 00:50:46,378
I want you to put out your eye.
496
00:50:49,298 --> 00:50:50,633
As payment for mine.
497
00:50:53,052 --> 00:50:54,136
One will serve.
498
00:50:58,390 --> 00:50:59,600
I would not blind you.
499
00:51:02,937 --> 00:51:05,147
Plan to make
a gift of it to my mother.
500
00:51:09,443 --> 00:51:10,444
No.
501
00:51:11,695 --> 00:51:13,656
Then you are craven
as well as a traitor.
502
00:51:13,739 --> 00:51:15,783
- Not here.
- Give me your eye,
503
00:51:16,367 --> 00:51:17,993
or I will take it, bastard!
504
00:51:18,994 --> 00:51:20,412
Not in my hall!
505
00:51:21,580 --> 00:51:23,374
The boy came as an envoy.
506
00:51:23,457 --> 00:51:25,417
I'll not have bloodshed beneath my roof.
507
00:51:26,085 --> 00:51:28,254
Take Prince Lucerys back to his dragon.
508
00:51:29,088 --> 00:51:30,089
Now.
509
00:55:09,141 --> 00:55:13,562
No, no, no, no, no!
No, Vhagar! No!
510
00:55:14,564 --> 00:55:15,916
Serve me, Vhagar! No!
511
00:55:39,421 --> 00:55:42,549
Vhagar! No! No.
