00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:08,259
persuading.

184
00:16:09,260 --> 00:16:11,846
They are unyielding in battle.

185
00:16:14,766 --> 00:16:16,768
(wind blowing)

186
00:16:18,770 --> 00:16:20,814
But every man has a weakness.

187
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:23,942
You take my meaning, then.

188
00:16:27,612 --> 00:16:31,533
There are things the crown
itself must not been seen to do.

189
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:34,743
Show them your worst.

190
00:16:34,744 --> 00:16:36,954
I am your servant, Your Grace.

191
00:16:36,955 --> 00:16:39,958
(tense music playing)

192
00:16:46,631 --> 00:16:48,633
(music intensifies)

193
00:16:58,309 --> 00:17:01,937
Jeyne Arryn: <i>Over the
centuries, many and more armies</i>

194
00:17:01,938 --> 00:17:04,983
have broken themselves
against my bloody gate.

195
00:17:07,068 --> 00:17:09,319
(music fades out)

196
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,156
Are you listening?

197
00:17:12,157 --> 00:17:13,991
My lady.

198
00:17:13,992 --> 00:17:16,661
The Eyrie itself is impregnable.

199
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,333
Unless, of course, we're
descended upon from the sky.

200
00:17:22,334 --> 00:17:25,044
You promised the Queen
Rhaenyra 15,000 swords...

201
00:17:25,045 --> 00:17:28,089
In return for protection.
A dragon.

202
00:17:30,008 --> 00:17:32,551
Then she has
exceeded your terms.

203
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:34,511
She sent two.

204
00:17:34,512 --> 00:17:37,014
Both still wet from the egg.

205
00:17:37,015 --> 00:17:38,016
(scoffs)

206
00:17:38,683 --> 00:17:41,185
I have hunting hounds
that are more fearsome.

207
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:43,521
They are dragons nonetheless.

208
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:45,481
I do not recall you specifying

209
00:17:45,482 --> 00:17:47,191
the size of the beast
in your request.

210
00:17:47,192 --> 00:17:49,027
Will you goad me, child?

211
00:17:49,736 --> 00:17:52,530
When your bread and shelter
now depend on my pleasure?

212
00:17:54,282 --> 00:17:56,117
The dragons will grow...

213
00:17:57,369 --> 00:17:59,371
- in time.
- I don't have time.

214
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,416
I mislike feeling powerless.

215
00:18:04,876 --> 00:18:06,294
So do I.

216
00:18:12,926 --> 00:18:14,927
This will be your chamber.

217
00:18:14,928 --> 00:18:16,888
I'll expect you
at supper this evening?

218
00:18:20,058 --> 00:18:24,062
My sympathies for the death
of your grandmother.

219
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:28,566
(wind blowing)

220
00:18:32,278 --> 00:18:35,364
The way they spoke
at my small council today.

221
00:18:35,365 --> 00:18:38,701
Mysaria: Do they hold you
responsible for Rhaenys and her dragon?

222
00:18:38,702 --> 00:18:40,412
I would rather they had.

223
00:18:40,954 --> 00:18:44,206
They speak around me, not to me.

224
00:18:44,207 --> 00:18:45,416
(sighs) They would
make me queen,

225
00:18:45,417 --> 00:18:47,751
but they wish
to keep me here, confined.

226
00:18:47,752 --> 00:18:50,796
They betray their own smallness.

227
00:18:50,797 --> 00:18:52,256
In truth, I cannot fault them.

228
00:18:52,257 --> 00:18:55,301
I am now the sovereign.
I cannot do as I please.

229
00:18:56,428 --> 00:18:59,263
And war has ever been
for men to make.

230
00:18:59,264 --> 00:19:02,599
You are your father’s
chosen successor.

231
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,935
He did not prepare me to fight.

232
00:19:04,936 --> 00:19:07,104
If I had been a son,

233
00:19:07,105 --> 00:19:10,525
a sword thrust into my hand
the moment I could walk.

234
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:13,278
Instead, I was given
my father's cup...

235
00:19:13,987 --> 00:19:16,488
taught the name
of every lord and castle

236
00:19:16,489 --> 00:19:18,240
between Storm's End
and the Twins,

237
00:19:18,241 --> 00:19:21,119
but not the difference
between hilt and foible.

238
00:19:22,037 --> 00:19:23,663
And they know it.

239
00:19:25,373 --> 00:19:28,751
- And Daemon as well...
- Shall your evening meal be served here, Your Grace?

240
00:19:28,752 --> 00:19:30,378
(sharply)
Not now.

241
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:34,507
(distant dragons grumbling)

242
00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:38,053
Will you send to him?

243
00:19:39,512 --> 00:19:42,348
For too long, I have
looked to him for strength.

244
00:19:42,349 --> 00:19:44,516
If I must be supplicant
to my own husband,

245
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:46,186
what does that make me?

246
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:52,859
I do not know my part, Mysaria.

247
00:19:55,904 --> 00:19:58,531
The path I walk
has never been trod.

248
00:19:59,866 --> 00:20:03,328
Criston Cole made a mistake.

249
00:20:05,038 --> 00:20:09,208
Parading a dragon's head through
the streets like a prize of war,

250
00:20:09,209 --> 00:20:11,293
but the people see an ill omen.

251
00:20:11,294 --> 00:20:12,878
(scoffs)
Yes, as do I.

252
00:20:12,879 --> 00:20:16,048
They are afraid,
bread is scarce,

253
00:20:16,049 --> 00:20:17,675
the king has fallen,

254
00:20:17,676 --> 00:20:20,177
they whisper to each other
that when Viserys lived,

255
00:20:20,178 --> 00:20:22,471
- there was peace.
- (sighs)

256
00:20:22,472 --> 00:20:25,182
But will whispers
tear down stone...

257
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:26,809
or break shields?

258
00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:30,187
Do not underestimate
your subjects.

259
00:20:30,188 --> 00:20:31,980
They are a thousand-thousand

260
00:20:31,981 --> 00:20:33,649
living in the shadow
of the Red Keep

261
00:20:33,650 --> 00:20:36,860
and forgotten for too long.

262
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:39,196
And you think they
will turn to me.

263
00:20:39,197 --> 00:20:43,451
To the discontented,
rumors are feed.

264
00:20:44,411 --> 00:20:47,622
(light, tense music playing)

265
00:20:48,123 --> 00:20:49,749
Your Grace.

266
00:20:52,210 --> 00:20:56,381
What you cannot do,
let others do for you.

267
00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:01,051
There is more than
one way to fight a war.

268
00:21:01,052 --> 00:21:03,054
(music intensifies)

269
00:21:14,315 --> 00:21:16,317
♪

270
00:21:21,072 --> 00:21:23,282
(music fades out)

271
00:21:23,283 --> 00:21:25,909
Baela: The thought
of her lying in a field,

272
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:28,496
broken amongst her enemies.

273
00:21:39,174 --> 00:21:43,178
Did your grandmother ever tell
you of the night she claimed Meleys?

274
00:21:44,179 --> 00:21:46,222
She snuck into the Dragonpit.

275
00:21:46,931 --> 00:21:49,392
She knew that place
better than any Elder.

276
00:21:49,934 --> 00:21:51,936
They say she could
see in the dark.

277
00:21:53,605 --> 00:21:55,439
My father was furious.

278
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,483
His own mother's dragon,

279
00:21:57,484 --> 00:21:59,068
the fastest beast ever known,

280
00:21:59,069 --> 00:22:00,986
- and she'd have none of him.
- (Rhaenyra chuckles)

281
00:22:00,987 --> 00:22:03,281
But bent her neck to Rhaenys.

282
00:22:04,324 --> 00:22:06,326
She was fierce...

283
00:22:07,660 --> 00:22:09,662
in love and in anger.

284
00:22:12,374 --> 00:22:16,002
She did not always
care for me, but...

285
00:22:17,796 --> 00:22:21,800
for what she gave me
in the end, I'm grateful.

286
00:22:27,806 --> 00:22:30,642
I wished I had known her
when she was young.

287
00:22:36,564 --> 00:22:40,568
- (chuckles) You are very like her in some ways.
- (Baela chuckles)

288
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:48,158
And with her gone... I
must rely on you, I think.

289
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:49,828
Your Grace?
(sniffles)

290
00:22:50,995 --> 00:22:53,415
Would you give this
to your grandsire?

291
00:23:05,176 --> 00:23:07,554
I do not wish to stand alone.

292
00:23:09,222 --> 00:23:11,473
(eerie rumbling)

293
00:23:11,474 --> 00:23:13,101
female voice:
Daemon.

294
00:23:17,856 --> 00:23:20,149
<i>Daemon.</i>

295
00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:22,777
<i>You were always the strong one.</i>

296
00:23:24,779 --> 00:23:27,407
The finest swordsman...

297
00:23:30,201 --> 00:23:32,871
the fearless dragonrider.

298
00:23:34,748 --> 00:23:37,959
{\an8}<i>Your brother had great
love in his heart...</i>

299
00:23:38,585 --> 00:23:40,628
(heavy breathing)

300
00:23:42,714 --> 00:23:44,966
<i>...but he lacked
your constitution.</i>

301
00:23:46,051 --> 00:23:48,553
<i>Viserys was unsuited
for the crown...</i>

302
00:23:51,806 --> 00:23:55,727
<i>but you... Daemon,
you were made to wear it.</i>

303
00:24:04,069 --> 00:24:06,071
(heavy breathing)

304
00:24:16,081 --> 00:24:19,084
<i>If only you'd been born first.</i>

305
00:24:20,335 --> 00:24:22,671
My favorite son.

306
00:24:29,135 --> 00:24:32,347
(echoing) Is the duck not
to your liking, Your Grace?

307
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,772
(normal) There's also
goose, if you'd prefer it.

308
00:24:42,607 --> 00:24:44,566
I like the goose, myself.

309
00:24:44,567 --> 00:24:46,778
(dinnerware clattering)

310
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:50,115
(Alys pouring wine)

311
00:24:52,784 --> 00:24:54,451
Uh, I'm not hungry.

312
00:24:54,452 --> 00:24:56,620
Simon Strong: I was saying,
given the rather dire news

313
00:24:56,621 --> 00:24:58,456
from Rook's Rest...

314
00:24:59,457 --> 00:25:03,502
it appears the winds have shifted
and each side has suffered great loss,

315
00:25:03,503 --> 00:25:06,798
and will be unsure
of what is to follow.

316
00:25:08,174 --> 00:25:10,385
A good time, then,
for a show of strength.

317
00:25:11,136 --> 00:25:12,344
I believe Willem Blackwood

318
00:25:12,345 --> 00:25:14,639
is bringing
House Bracken to heel.

319
00:25:16,182 --> 00:25:19,394
We must ready the castle
to receive a great host.

320
00:25:21,688 --> 00:25:23,605
You seem sure of this.

321
00:25:23,606 --> 00:25:26,316
All men may be led, Ser Simon.

322
00:25:26,317 --> 00:25:28,028
Even Rivermen.

323
00:25:29,154 --> 00:25:32,907
'Tis a matter of showing them
whom it behooves them to follow.

324
00:25:34,367 --> 00:25:36,578
How does the work here progress?

325
00:25:36,911 --> 00:25:40,706
Oh, um... we're drawing
water for the kitchens

326
00:25:40,707 --> 00:25:43,292
- and lighting the forges.
- Very well.

327
00:25:43,293 --> 00:25:45,711
That is merely the
beginning, of course.

328
00:25:45,712 --> 00:25:47,504
The roof alone
has needed tending

329
00:25:47,505 --> 00:25:48,505
since the reign of Aenys.

330
00:25:48,506 --> 00:25:49,840
And the storerooms.

331
00:25:49,841 --> 00:25:51,009
And...

332
00:25:51,926 --> 00:25:54,346
and the Wailing Tower.
(chuckles)

333
00:25:55,013 --> 00:25:57,473
The bats have made the
corridors almost impassable

334
00:25:57,474 --> 00:25:59,517
with the quantity of their...

335
00:26:00,602 --> 00:26:02,020
Their shit.

336
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:06,357
{\an8}I venture there are
smiths and armorers

337
00:26:06,358 --> 00:26:08,817
{\an8}to be found near
Nutton and Riverbend.

338
00:26:08,818 --> 00:26:10,861
{\an8}Well, send for them,
and levy the farmers

339
00:26:10,862 --> 00:26:12,906
from Antlers to High Heart.

340
00:26:13,239 --> 00:26:15,909
Task their huntsmen
to bring us meat and wood.

341
00:26:17,118 --> 00:26:19,745
Um, there is, of course,
the matter of payment.

342
00:26:19,746 --> 00:26:21,580
(clattering stops)

343
00:26:21,581 --> 00:26:26,044
After the, the tragedy
that befell his father...

344
00:26:26,419 --> 00:26:30,965
Larys transferred his family's
wealth to King's Landing.

345
00:26:32,217 --> 00:26:34,760
Is there any gold
left in your coffers?

346
00:26:34,761 --> 00:26:39,224
Enough to keep this small
establishment you see fed and warm.

347
00:26:40,225 --> 00:26:41,601
Relatively.

348
00:26:44,312 --> 00:26:47,690
I... I rather thought,
Your Grace, as

349
00:26:47,691 --> 00:26:51,110
emissary to the Queen

350
00:26:51,111 --> 00:26:55,030
that p-perhaps she could
provide the necessary coin

351
00:26:55,031 --> 00:26:57,659
- if you could only write to her.
- No.

352
00:26:58,576 --> 00:27:00,578
Harrenhal is my command.

353
00:27:01,162 --> 00:27:03,790
I shall guarantee
the payment myself.

354
00:27:04,916 --> 00:27:06,584
(mouths)
Up, up.

355
00:27:09,587 --> 00:27:11,589
Very well, Your Grace.

356
00:27:12,090 --> 00:27:15,426
You should
address me as "my king."

357
00:27:15,427 --> 00:27:17,303
But you're the prince.

358
00:27:17,762 --> 00:27:19,930
What would you call
the husband of the queen?

359
00:27:19,931 --> 00:27:21,598
- Well, the king...
- Daemon: There it is, then.

360
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:23,101
...consort.

361
00:27:24,310 --> 00:27:26,938
That last bit seems
unnecessary, don't you think?

362
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:30,942
(sighing)

363
00:27:32,944 --> 00:27:35,112
Orwyle:
The armor was Valyrian steel,

364
00:27:35,113 --> 00:27:39,117
but His Grace suffered grievous
burns over much of his body.

365
00:27:40,243 --> 00:27:42,161
He has many broken bones.

366
00:27:42,162 --> 00:27:45,497
I fear there are
more injuries within,

367
00:27:45,498 --> 00:27:47,500
injuries we cannot see.

368
00:27:49,127 --> 00:27:51,337
(inhales) We are
grateful for your works,

369
00:27:51,338 --> 00:27:52,380
Grand Maester.

370
00:27:53,548 --> 00:27:55,967
- Has he woken?
- No.

371
00:27:57,635 --> 00:28:02,264
I must admit, I'm not
sure he will ever wake.

372
00:28:02,265 --> 00:28:05,642
I have plied my crafts
to their fullest extents.

373
00:28:05,643 --> 00:28:09,647
Our king's fate
lies with the gods now.

374
00:28:20,367 --> 00:28:22,369
A king cannot rule in his sleep.

375
00:28:23,495 --> 00:28:25,663
The realm will have
noticed his absence.

376
00:28:26,373 --> 00:28:28,583
Let them hear of his
great deeds at Rook's Rest.

377
00:28:30,085 --> 00:28:32,836
But now we must name
a regent to take his place

378
00:28:32,837 --> 00:28:34,506
until he recovers...

379
00:28:36,883 --> 00:28:38,093
or does not.

380
00:28:39,761 --> 00:28:42,137
A wise strategy, Your Grace.

381
00:28:42,138 --> 00:28:43,847
A regency will assure the people

382
00:28:43,848 --> 00:28:46,267
of the stability of the crown.

383
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:52,148
Did you have a candidate
in mind, Your Grace?

384
00:28:52,691 --> 00:28:54,483
I myself served in this
role for my husband.

385
00:28:54,484 --> 00:28:56,026
I am well-prepared
to do it again.

386
00:28:56,027 --> 00:28:57,528
You played your part admirably

387
00:28:57,529 --> 00:28:59,154
in a time of peace, Your Grace,

388
00:28:59,155 --> 00:29:01,740
but circumstances have changed.

389
00:29:01,741 --> 00:29:03,492
(sarcastically) And
here I had forgotten.

390
00:29:03,493 --> 00:29:05,744
Ironrod: The king
does not lack for heirs.

391
00:29:05,745 --> 00:29:10,582
The obvious choice is his
immediate successor, Prince Aemond.

392
00:29:10,583 --> 00:29:12,042
Tyland Lannister:
Agreed.

393
00:29:12,043 --> 00:29:13,712
Aemond is young.

394
00:29:15,088 --> 00:29:17,716
And his lack of restraint
has already cost us dearly.

395
00:29:27,267 --> 00:29:31,270
Orwyle: It is experience that
offers the surest path to security.

396
00:29:31,271 --> 00:29:34,398
Queen Alicent ably shouldered
the duties of the realm

397
00:29:34,399 --> 00:29:36,066
when her husband's
health failed him.

398
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:37,443
Experience is valuable, yes,

399
00:29:37,444 --> 00:29:39,028
but the dowager queen
is a woman.

400
00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:42,114
I am no stranger to rule
or to sitting at this council.

401
00:29:42,115 --> 00:29:43,532
Aemond is
a fearsome dragonrider.

402
00:29:43,533 --> 00:29:45,034
His skill is best
employed in the field,

403
00:29:45,035 --> 00:29:47,786
but my experience is
needed here, at this table.

404
00:29:47,787 --> 00:29:50,247
No offense was meant,
Your Grace, but...

405
00:29:50,248 --> 00:29:54,419
- at a time when we must show strength.
- Lord Larys?

406
00:29:55,587 --> 00:29:57,922
I agree, Your Grace.
It must be Prince Aemond.

407
00:30:00,091 --> 00:30:02,426
What would it say if, in
response to Rhaenyra's crowning,

408
00:30:02,427 --> 00:30:04,679
we raised up a woman of our own?

409
00:30:07,432 --> 00:30:08,808
But, um...

410
00:30:10,518 --> 00:30:12,436
but the Hand speaks
for the king's voice.

411
00:30:12,437 --> 00:30:14,481
Ser Criston, what say you?

412
00:30:21,488 --> 00:30:23,698
Aemond is the next in line.

413
00:30:25,867 --> 00:30:27,285
It must be him.

414
00:30:31,956 --> 00:30:33,958
Aemond Targaryen:
It's agreed then.

415
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,691
What is our standing
in the Riverlands?

416
00:30:59,234 --> 00:31:01,860
Tyland:
Uh, the banners of House Tully

417
00:31:01,861 --> 00:31:04,154
are in disarray, Your Grace.

418
00:31:04,155 --> 00:31:05,447
Prince Daemon has little hope

419
00:31:05,448 --> 00:31:07,950
of fielding an army
of any size, for now.

420
00:31:07,951 --> 00:31:09,660
(voices fading)

421
00:31:09,661 --> 00:31:11,704
Larys Strong: We would do well
to send word to young Oscar Tully.

422
00:31:11,705 --> 00:31:13,622
- (Alicent breathing heavily)
- It's only a matter of time

423
00:31:13,623 --> 00:31:15,958
before he inherits
his grandsire's mantle.

424
00:31:15,959 --> 00:31:18,002
Aemond:
Tell me, Lord Strong,

425
00:31:18,003 --> 00:31:19,670
how I can trust
the counsel of a man

426
00:31:19,671 --> 00:31:21,213
who leaves the jewel
of the Riverlands

427
00:31:21,214 --> 00:31:23,675
to be plucked by our enemy?

428
00:31:27,345 --> 00:31:28,804
Your brother's host
can meet Daemon.

429
00:31:28,805 --> 00:31:30,180
He should quicken its pace

430
00:31:30,181 --> 00:31:31,306
and check the Rivermen

431
00:31:31,307 --> 00:31:32,891
while their banners
are in disarray.

432
00:31:32,892 --> 00:31:35,310
Tyland: I shall send
Lord Jason encouragement.

433
00:31:35,311 --> 00:31:38,022
- Aemond: What else?
- Orwyle: We might turn our attention

434
00:31:38,023 --> 00:31:40,524
to the smallfolk here
in King's Landing.

435
00:31:40,525 --> 00:31:43,027
They have grown weary
of the Sea Snake's blockade.

436
00:31:43,028 --> 00:31:45,195
Aemond:
So have we all.

437
00:31:45,196 --> 00:31:46,488
Orwyle:
Many are fleeing the city,

438
00:31:46,489 --> 00:31:49,701
spreading word of
their fear and unrest.

439
00:31:50,118 --> 00:31:53,162
Aemond: Mm, then let
the gates be closed.

440
00:31:53,163 --> 00:31:55,372
♪

441
00:31:55,373 --> 00:31:57,875
No one is to leave or
enter, save with our consent.

442
00:31:57,876 --> 00:32:00,754
Merchants, so forth.

443
00:32:02,547 --> 00:32:05,007
(heavy breathing)

444
00:32:05,008 --> 00:32:07,718
(clearly)
Go to your tasks.

445
00:32:07,719 --> 00:32:10,220
We shall meet again
at first light.

446
00:32:10,221 --> 00:32:14,059
Oh, and someone cut
down the fucking ratcatchers.

447
00:32:16,644 --> 00:32:18,062
(coughs)

448
00:32:18,063 --> 00:32:21,065
- (outside street chatter)
- (baby crying)

449
00:32:21,066 --> 00:32:23,318
Kat:
The city's safe no longer.

450
00:32:25,153 --> 00:32:27,613
There is no food.

451
00:32:27,614 --> 00:32:29,531
Our neighbors are
stealing from each other.

452
00:32:29,532 --> 00:32:30,908
We must get out.

453
00:32:30,909 --> 00:32:32,743
{\an8}And where would you have us go?

454
00:32:32,744 --> 00:32:35,038
North, maybe? South?

455
00:32:35,747 --> 00:32:37,873
For all we know, every road
leads into the dragons' teeth.

456
00:32:37,874 --> 00:32:40,168
Like the one they carted
through the streets?

457
00:32:41,002 --> 00:32:45,006
You think Rhaenyra will let
such an affront go unchallenged?

458
00:32:48,093 --> 00:32:50,886
We should make for Tumbleton.

459
00:32:50,887 --> 00:32:52,930
My brother will have room.

460
00:32:52,931 --> 00:32:54,766
You would have me turn beggar?

461
00:32:56,309 --> 00:32:57,936
(daughter groans)

462
00:33:00,814 --> 00:33:02,816
Are we not beggars already?

463
00:33:03,817 --> 00:33:05,484
Have you been paid
for those machines

464
00:33:05,485 --> 00:33:06,444
you were forced to build?

465
00:33:06,445 --> 00:33:08,112
The king has promised payment.

466
00:33:08,113 --> 00:33:10,990
(hushed)
The king has lied!

467
00:33:14,786 --> 00:33:15,954
(coughs)

468
00:33:22,627 --> 00:33:24,462
By all means...

469
00:33:25,296 --> 00:33:28,675
stay and wait for his
empty promises, husband.

470
00:33:30,802 --> 00:33:33,638
With them, you can feed
the mouths of ghosts.

471
00:33:45,316 --> 00:33:47,318
(dog whimpering)

472
00:33:49,863 --> 00:33:51,865
(indistinct chatter)

473
00:33:58,830 --> 00:34:00,415
(body thuds)

474
00:34:13,011 --> 00:34:15,013
Presumed you'd be here.

475
00:34:15,430 --> 00:34:18,724
Seeing faithfully to the
Prince Regent's commands.

476
00:34:18,725 --> 00:34:20,851
Aemond is the next in line.

477
00:34:20,852 --> 00:34:23,854
- It is the order of things.
- You know what he is...

478
00:34:23,855 --> 00:34:25,899
what he has somehow become.

479
00:34:28,693 --> 00:34:30,069
Has your loyalty faded?

480
00:34:30,070 --> 00:34:32,029
Or does it flourish
only at night

481
00:34:32,030 --> 00:34:34,866
and flee the sunrise
like a moth?

482
00:34:38,620 --> 00:34:40,162
What I saw at Rook's Rest...

483
00:34:40,163 --> 00:34:43,375
What?
What did you see?

484
00:34:47,545 --> 00:34:49,547
Their armor melted.

485
00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:53,885
There were men walking.
They were on fire.

486
00:34:57,305 --> 00:34:59,557
We have given the war
to the dragons.

487
00:35:01,101 --> 00:35:02,727
A dragonrider should lead us.

488
00:35:07,107 --> 00:35:09,441
And what of justice,
of temperance?

489
00:35:09,442 --> 00:35:12,487
Or is strength now
to be our only god?

490
00:35:17,909 --> 00:35:19,911
So you cast me aside.

491
00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:23,081
Have I not spared you?

492
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,628
What we must do
now is... terrible.

493
00:35:30,588 --> 00:35:32,632
Will you preside over it?

494
00:35:33,258 --> 00:35:36,845
- Is this who you are, Alicent?
- I did not ask to be spared.

495
00:35:40,306 --> 00:35:42,434
And I did not give you
leave to speak my name.

496
00:35:48,356 --> 00:35:50,358
(loud chattering)

497
00:35:55,447 --> 00:35:56,781
gold cloak:
Halt!

498
00:35:57,449 --> 00:35:59,451
(crowd shouting)

499
00:36:02,787 --> 00:36:03,997
Stay back!

500
00:36:05,790 --> 00:36:07,459
Townsperson:
We've got to get out!

501
00:36:08,293 --> 00:36:09,794
Gold cloak:
Somebody get him!

502
00:36:10,545 --> 00:36:12,671
Stay back! No!

503
00:36:12,672 --> 00:36:15,132
Holdfast, holdfast!

504
00:36:15,133 --> 00:36:17,344
- (shouting, fighting)
- Stay back! Hold!

505
00:36:22,140 --> 00:36:23,308
Back!

506
00:36:24,351 --> 00:36:27,312
Disperse, disperse!

507
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,939
By order of Aemond Targaryen,

508
00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:33,776
Prince Regent and
Protector of the Realm...

509
00:36:33,777 --> 00:36:36,278
- Aemond?
- Does he mean the king?

510
00:36:36,279 --> 00:36:38,655
- I don't know.
- You cannot keep us here!

511
00:36:38,656 --> 00:36:41,617
- You are ordered to return to your homes!
- We want meat!

512
00:36:41,618 --> 00:36:43,202
- Meat!
- Meat!

513
00:36:43,203 --> 00:36:44,913
(shouting)

514
00:36:51,211 --> 00:36:53,379
(crowd, gold cloaks clamoring)

515
00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:54,839
gold cloak: Stay back!

516
00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:58,677
(grumbles)

517
00:37:02,847 --> 00:37:06,059
Forrest Frey: Our Lord Grover
Tully has not declared for Rhaenyra.

518
00:37:07,268 --> 00:37:09,395
It means death to bare steel
against your liege,

519
00:37:09,396 --> 00:37:11,690
as I'm sure my prince is aware.

520
00:37:13,191 --> 00:37:15,402
And against your queen?

521
00:37:17,612 --> 00:37:18,613
Hm?

522
00:37:22,450 --> 00:37:27,204
(sighs) Jason Lannister
is marshaling to the west.

523
00:37:27,205 --> 00:37:29,290
We need to check him
before he reaches Riverrun.

524
00:37:30,208 --> 00:37:32,209
That requires passage.

525
00:37:32,210 --> 00:37:34,670
And if Stark's army is too slow?

526
00:37:34,671 --> 00:37:36,422
The wind's rising.

527
00:37:36,423 --> 00:37:38,090
Winter is nigh upon us.

528
00:37:38,091 --> 00:37:39,758
Our hesitance does not lie

529
00:37:39,759 --> 00:37:41,885
in Rhaenyra as Queen,

530
00:37:41,886 --> 00:37:45,306
nor in the ruminations
of Lord Tully, the oaf.

531
00:37:46,141 --> 00:37:49,059
Our fear lies in Vhagar.

532
00:37:49,060 --> 00:37:52,104
You fear a dragon leagues away

533
00:37:52,105 --> 00:37:54,773
when mine own sits
outside your walls?

534
00:37:54,774 --> 00:37:56,818
(wind blowing)

535
00:37:59,070 --> 00:38:02,407
- Do you offer us your protection?
- I do.

536
00:38:08,997 --> 00:38:10,999
And the protection of my uncle.

537
00:38:12,250 --> 00:38:16,420
And Daemon, I'm sure,
has consented to this?

538
00:38:16,421 --> 00:38:18,547
He will do as
his queen commands.

539
00:38:18,548 --> 00:38:20,466
That does lend us some comfort.

540
00:38:20,467 --> 00:38:21,925
Though it occurs
to me that dragons

541
00:38:21,926 --> 00:38:25,263
- cannot be in two places at once.
- Or three.

542
00:38:28,183 --> 00:38:30,018
What do you want?

543
00:38:32,312 --> 00:38:36,273
Larys Strong has been
relieved of his castle.

544
00:38:36,274 --> 00:38:39,361
Does the queen intend
to raise up a new lord?

545
00:38:43,823 --> 00:38:45,283
You want Harrenhal.

546
00:38:56,628 --> 00:39:00,382
(light, tense music playing)

547
00:39:04,177 --> 00:39:09,140
For that... my mother will
want more than your crossing.

548
00:39:10,892 --> 00:39:12,894
What does Her Grace desire?

549
00:39:15,522 --> 00:39:17,732
Bent knees.

550
00:39:19,818 --> 00:39:21,820
(music intensifies)

551
00:39:42,882 --> 00:39:45,134
(music fades out)

552
00:39:45,135 --> 00:39:47,846
(indistinct chatter)

553
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,890
(screams echoing)

554
00:39:56,855 --> 00:39:59,524
(screaming subsides)

555
00:40:00,692 --> 00:40:02,736
(indistinct chatter)

556
00:40:11,578 --> 00:40:12,787
Daemon:
Up.

557
00:40:13,455 --> 00:40:15,205
Alys Rivers:
You were born to wield a sword,

558
00:40:15,206 --> 00:40:18,251
but not so much an axe, perhaps.

559
00:40:19,461 --> 00:40:21,086
Daemon: There are
others who would sit idle

560
00:40:21,087 --> 00:40:23,339
and wait for their claims
to be brought to them.

561
00:40:23,340 --> 00:40:26,675
- That is not my way.
- Does splitting firewood justify what's followed you here?

562
00:40:26,676 --> 00:40:28,719
Let it not be said
that Daemon Targaryen

563
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:31,055
failed to dirty
his hands in this war.

564
00:40:31,056 --> 00:40:32,932
Oh, let me see them.

565
00:40:34,059 --> 00:40:35,934
- Sit.
- Daemon: Ah.

566
00:40:35,935 --> 00:40:37,228
Sit!

567
00:40:40,899 --> 00:40:44,360
(sighs) I hear strange
things from Bracken land,

568
00:40:44,361 --> 00:40:47,405
from Stone Hedge
and Lambswold and Mory.

569
00:40:48,406 --> 00:40:50,532
There's news, then?

570
00:40:50,533 --> 00:40:51,743
News?

571
00:40:52,911 --> 00:40:53,912
No.

572
00:40:56,081 --> 00:40:58,874
What I hear, I hear in the wind.

573
00:40:58,875 --> 00:41:01,920
- (screams echoing)
- Cries of anguish.

574
00:41:03,838 --> 00:41:05,923
Children being taken
from their mothers,

575
00:41:05,924 --> 00:41:09,885
men coming home to
find their doors unlatched...

576
00:41:09,886 --> 00:41:12,096
their wives carried away.

577
00:41:12,097 --> 00:41:14,264
(screaming subsides)

578
00:41:14,265 --> 00:41:16,476
War is a terrible thing.

579
00:41:17,018 --> 00:41:19,603
This is not war.

580
00:41:19,604 --> 00:41:22,272
These are crimes
against the innocent,

581
00:41:22,273 --> 00:41:24,566
that any upright man
would repudiate.

582
00:41:24,567 --> 00:41:27,111
Surely you haven't mistaken
me for an upright man.

583
00:41:27,112 --> 00:41:29,113
(Alys chuckles)

584
00:41:29,114 --> 00:41:32,783
The Brackens had their
chance to do as I required.

585
00:41:32,784 --> 00:41:34,910
They will perhaps think
better of their decision

586
00:41:34,911 --> 00:41:38,123
if their children's
lives are staked on it.

587
00:41:39,457 --> 00:41:41,835
Is that the kind of
army you would raise?

588
00:41:42,836 --> 00:41:45,504
Men who hate you...

589
00:41:45,505 --> 00:41:47,297
who serve you under duress?

590
00:41:47,298 --> 00:41:50,426
Well, once they agree to
serve me, I'll treat them fairly.

591
00:41:50,427 --> 00:41:51,677
Set an example for the rest

592
00:41:51,678 --> 00:41:53,804
of the Riverlands to follow.

593
00:41:53,805 --> 00:41:56,306
And once again,
in the name of power,

594
00:41:56,307 --> 00:41:59,144
it's the weak and the
women who must endure.

595
00:42:01,980 --> 00:42:04,816
That fool, Aegon,
is unlike to survive.

596
00:42:06,901 --> 00:42:09,195
The realm will suffer
if Aemond One-Eye rules.

597
00:42:10,739 --> 00:42:12,323
You should pray
you never meet him.

598
00:42:12,907 --> 00:42:15,284
He will cut you down
soon as wish you good-day.

599
00:42:15,285 --> 00:42:16,827
I'd heard the same
thing about you.

600
00:42:16,828 --> 00:42:17,995
But I'll cross you no further.

601
00:42:17,996 --> 00:42:19,455
I'm sure your tactics
are, after all,

602
00:42:19,456 --> 00:42:21,331
approved by the queen.

603
00:42:21,332 --> 00:42:24,336
(tense music playing)

604
00:42:26,838 --> 00:42:29,049
She cannot succeed, Alys.

605
00:42:29,716 --> 00:42:31,967
Even if I willed it to be so.

606
00:42:31,968 --> 00:42:34,053
The people who support her
will not be led by her.

607
00:42:34,054 --> 00:42:36,180
They look to a man for strength.

608
00:42:36,181 --> 00:42:37,348
Who's better suited to it?

609
00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:39,808
The Hightowers
with their scheming?

610
00:42:39,809 --> 00:42:42,020
Or Viserys's first true heir?

611
00:42:43,188 --> 00:42:45,647
When I take King's Landing...

612
00:42:45,648 --> 00:42:47,191
Rhaenyra is welcome
to join me there

613
00:42:47,192 --> 00:42:49,693
and take her place by my side.

614
00:42:49,694 --> 00:42:53,740
King and queen...
ruling together.

615
00:42:54,366 --> 00:42:57,034
- And if you lose?
- Then I'll be dead,

616
00:42:57,035 --> 00:42:59,411
and none of this
will be my problem.

617
00:42:59,412 --> 00:43:02,706

that you never knew your mother?

The Blackwoods have

pledged his banner to you.

House Bracken is yours.

Call Ser Willem here so

I was surprised when
they said you were here.

631
00:43:49,421 --> 00:43:51,423
My castle is a tomb.

Empty.
Haunted.

missed its highest days.

634

I imagine your Hall of Nine

635
00:44:01,057 --> 00:44:03,434
filled with lords and kings,

636
00:44:03,435 --> 00:44:06,521
all eager to treat with the
legendary Lord of the Tides.

637
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,440
The wealth you brought back

638
00:44:09,441 --> 00:44:10,816
from Yi Ti and Asshai,

639
00:44:10,817 --> 00:44:14,112
inspiring awe and envy.

640
00:44:16,531 --> 00:44:18,533
I wonder if any of them
knew it was all for her.

Queen Rhaenyra wishes

Even the death of my
wife does not content her.

Has she not asked
enough of my house?

645
00:44:42,307 --> 00:44:45,976
It is a sign
of her great esteem.

646
00:44:45,977 --> 00:44:48,020
Or does she think the
position will compensate me

647
00:44:48,021 --> 00:44:49,314
for my loss?

648
00:44:50,523 --> 00:44:52,858
Pledge your peace
to King's Landing, then.

649
00:44:52,859 --> 00:44:55,153

most gleefully.

into the West and be lost.

You have done so before,

at great cost to yourself
and those who loved you.

653
00:45:08,917 --> 00:45:12,294
Rhaenys was not
only your wife...

654
00:45:12,295 --> 00:45:15,464
not a thing to be
taken from you.
