they meet in the courtyard, 545 00:56:48,229 --> 00:56:50,312 it's understandable that she would be upset. 546 00:56:51,979 --> 00:56:55,771 We've been with these characters on a pretty regular basis

have shown up 556 00:57:16,521 --> 00:57:18,437 on his own to Winterfell, he would've gotten 557 00:57:18,521 --> 00:57:21,187 a much different reception from Sansa than he did 558 00:57:21,396 --> 00:57:24,938 coming as the Hand of the Queen, Daenerys Targaryen. 559 00:57:25,020 --> 00:57:27,479 There's also the specific thing that happens in that scene, 560 00:57:27,562 --> 00:57:29,312 which is Tyrion has told everybody 561 00:57:29,396 --> 00:57:31,729 that the Lannisters are coming to join the cause, 562 00:57:31,813 --> 00:57:33,771 and it's amazing to her that this person 563 00:57:33,854 --> 00:57:35,479 she thought was so smart would ever 564 00:57:35,562 --> 00:57:38,354 take Cersei at her word on something like that. 565 00:57:38,437 --> 00:57:40,854 I used to think you were the cleverest man alive. 566 00:57:44,354 --> 00:57:46,354 How did you survive a knife through the heart? 567 00:57:46,979 --> 00:57:47,979 I didn't. 568 00:57:48,145 --> 00:57:49,479 Jon Snow and Arya 569 00:57:49,562 --> 00:57:51,979 are two of the most important characters in the story, 570 00:57:52,062 --> 00:57:54,312 and they love each other very deeply. 571 00:57:54,646 --> 00:57:56,145 Arya was the only one who treated Jon 572 00:57:56,229 --> 00:57:58,938 like a real member of the family when he was a child, 573 00:57:59,020 --> 00:58:00,538 and he was the only one who treated her 574 00:58:00,562 --> 00:58:02,896 with the respect that she needed when she was a kid. 575 00:58:03,145 --> 00:58:04,646 Jon has invited this... 576 00:58:05,229 --> 00:58:07,854 huge army of foreigners into their home, 577 00:58:07,938 --> 00:58:11,187 and Arya understands why he did it, 578 00:58:11,270 --> 00:58:12,729 but Arya's on Sansa's side. 579 00:58:12,813 --> 00:58:13,896 You are defending her. 580 00:58:15,145 --> 00:58:16,562 I'm defending our family. 581 00:58:18,479 --> 00:58:19,479 So is she. 582 00:58:19,521 --> 00:58:21,145 I'm her family too. 583 00:58:23,854 --> 00:58:24,854 Don't forget that. 584 00:58:25,104 --> 00:58:26,580 Blood is definitely thicker than water 585 00:58:26,604 --> 00:58:27,813 when it comes to Starks. 586 00:58:29,604 --> 00:58:30,604 Go on. 587 00:58:30,813 --> 00:58:32,771 I don't know how to ride a dragon. 588 00:58:33,479 --> 00:58:35,479 Nobody does until they ride a dragon. 589 00:58:35,938 --> 00:58:37,854 No one's ever ridden a dragon except for Dany. 590 00:58:37,938 --> 00:58:39,604 Only Targaryens can ride dragons, 591 00:58:39,688 --> 00:58:41,604 and that should be a sign for Jon. 592 00:58:41,688 --> 00:58:43,562 Jon's not always the quickest on the uptake, 593 00:58:43,646 --> 00:58:44,854 but eventually gets there. 594 00:58:44,938 --> 00:58:48,854 We wanted to kind of re-anchor their relationship. 595 00:58:48,938 --> 00:58:51,270 It seemed important for it to involve the dragons, 596 00:58:51,354 --> 00:58:53,813 since the dragons play such an important role. 597 00:58:54,145 --> 00:58:55,854 It's a major thing for her when she sees 598 00:58:56,062 --> 00:58:57,813 they have some kind of connection to him, 599 00:58:57,896 --> 00:58:59,562 they allow him to be around them. 600 00:58:59,646 --> 00:59:01,145 And when he flies up with her 601 00:59:01,229 --> 00:59:03,562 and shows her where he used to hunt as a kid, 602 00:59:03,646 --> 00:59:05,979 I think she falls even farther in love with him. 603 00:59:06,270 --> 00:59:08,521 Seeing Jon and Dany on the dragons together, 604 00:59:08,813 --> 00:59:12,062 it's a Jon and Dany moment, but it also seeds in the idea 605 00:59:12,145 --> 00:59:17,312 that these creatures will accept Jon Snow as one of their riders. 606 00:59:17,479 --> 00:59:18,604 Don't be afraid. 607 00:59:23,479 --> 00:59:24,396 One of the challenges, 608 00:59:24,479 --> 00:59:26,562 but also one of the exciting things 609 00:59:26,646 --> 00:59:28,604 about this episode, this whole season, 610 00:59:28,688 --> 00:59:30,688 is bringing together characters who have never met. 611 00:59:30,854 --> 00:59:31,854 Sam has long been 612 00:59:32,020 --> 00:59:33,872 one of the more important characters in the story. 613 00:59:33,896 --> 00:59:35,854 But he's never seen Queen Daenerys, 614 00:59:36,062 --> 00:59:38,187 and yet they're connected by various threads. 615 00:59:38,437 --> 00:59:39,580 The obvious one, which we know 616 00:59:39,604 --> 00:59:41,354 from the beginning of the scene, is Jorah. 617 00:59:41,437 --> 00:59:44,521 Sam saved him, and so Jorah owes him this great debt. 618 00:59:44,771 --> 00:59:47,437 What none of them realize until midway through this scene 619 00:59:47,521 --> 00:59:49,813 is that they have another, horrible connection. 620 00:59:49,896 --> 00:59:51,979 There are all these things that you know 621 00:59:52,062 --> 00:59:53,354 about those characters 622 00:59:53,688 --> 00:59:55,187 that the other characters don't know. 623 00:59:55,270 --> 00:59:57,396 And some of them are very important. 624 00:59:57,479 --> 01:00:00,688 Dany murdered Samwell's father and brother. 625 01:00:00,979 --> 01:00:02,604 That's a really complicated thing for Sam 626 01:00:02,688 --> 01:00:05,729 because he had a really fraught relationship with his father. 627 01:00:05,813 --> 01:00:08,187 Yet Sam's older brother was not a bad person, 628 01:00:08,270 --> 01:00:11,312 and died, really, quite bravely, standing by his father's side. 629 01:00:11,688 --> 01:00:13,979 John Bradley did an excellent job. 630 01:00:14,270 --> 01:00:17,145 The difference between the way he takes the news 631 01:00:17,229 --> 01:00:19,145 of his father's death 632 01:00:19,354 --> 01:00:21,479 and the way he takes the news of his brother's death, 633 01:00:21,562 --> 01:00:23,437 it was a subtle thing that he does 634 01:00:23,521 --> 01:00:24,896 with very few words. 635 01:00:26,521 --> 01:00:28,896 It's the kind of thing that he could find out 636 01:00:29,062 --> 01:00:30,354 in a number of different ways, 637 01:00:30,437 --> 01:00:33,396 but it seemed like a very ineffective preamble 638 01:00:33,479 --> 01:00:35,354 and way into that later moment. 639 01:00:36,729 --> 01:00:37,854 Daenerys... 640 01:00:38,979 --> 01:00:40,896 She executed my father and brother. 641 01:00:41,562 --> 01:00:43,312 I've executed men who disobeyed me. 642 01:00:43,396 --> 01:00:44,813 You've also spared men. 643 01:00:45,562 --> 01:00:47,604 Thousands of wildlings when they refused to kneel. 644 01:00:47,979 --> 01:00:50,145 - I wasn't a king. - But you were. 645 01:00:50,437 --> 01:00:53,729 The fact that Jon's real parents were who Jon's real parents were 646 01:00:53,813 --> 01:00:56,229 is not news to us at this point, but what we don't know 647 01:00:56,312 --> 01:00:59,354 is the way that Jon is going to take this. 648 01:00:59,437 --> 01:01:01,020 How's the explosion gonna look? 649 01:01:01,312 --> 01:01:02,830 Sam, as a brother of the Night's Watch, 650 01:01:02,854 --> 01:01:06,229 and Jon are more brothers than Bran and Jon ever really were. 651 01:01:06,312 --> 01:01:07,437 He knows it's gonna hurt Jon 652 01:01:07,521 --> 01:01:10,020 and it's going to shatter his whole worldview. 653 01:01:10,104 --> 01:01:11,497 For all they know, the Army of the Dead 654 01:01:11,521 --> 01:01:12,561 could attack the next day, 655 01:01:12,604 --> 01:01:15,104 and someone has to tell Jon before that. 656 01:01:15,896 --> 01:01:17,246 He's being told something 657 01:01:17,270 --> 01:01:21,270 that he both knows is true and can't handle. 658 01:01:21,646 --> 01:01:24,270 So he tries to throw things in front of it 659 01:01:24,354 --> 01:01:26,145 to prevent him from having to deal with 660 01:01:26,229 --> 01:01:27,938 the... the truth of what he's being told. 661 01:01:28,020 --> 01:01:29,413 The thing he throws in front of it here 662 01:01:29,437 --> 01:01:33,062 is the fact that it means his father was lying to him 663 01:01:33,437 --> 01:01:34,813 his whole life. 664 01:01:35,270 --> 01:01:37,062 You've never been a bastard. 665 01:01:37,145 --> 01:01:38,688 You're a true heir to the Iron Throne. 666 01:01:38,771 --> 01:01:40,979 The truth that Samwell tells Jon 667 01:01:41,062 --> 01:01:43,521 is probably the most incendiary fact 668 01:01:43,604 --> 01:01:46,062 in the entire world of the show. 669 01:01:46,354 --> 01:01:49,604 We chose to play the whole thing on Jon's face 670 01:01:49,688 --> 01:01:52,145 because, as great a job as John Bradley is doing 671 01:01:52,229 --> 01:01:53,349 presenting this information, 672 01:01:53,604 --> 01:01:55,804 he's really just presenting information we know already. 673 01:01:55,979 --> 01:01:58,104 - Daenerys is our queen. - She shouldn't be. 674 01:02:00,813 --> 01:02:02,646 - That's treason. - It's the truth.
