Heat. Heat. [groaning]

I see the fear in your eyes. I feel it,

too.

Beyond that wall waits a beast that

would see our kind wiped [music] from

the earth. every man, every name

forgotten. But we are the last fire in a

darkening world. So let it come. Let

them break upon us like the sea upon

stone. And if we fall, we fall as men,

never as prey.

So it comes to this, the night we were

warned of and hoped would never find us.

10,000 shadows wait in the dark beneath

those trees. And but a thousand souls

stand this wall. They will name it

hopeless. And perhaps in the cold

reckoning of numbers, they speak true.

But a thousand men who will not yield,

who will not break their line, though

the dark comes howling. That too is a

number worth the counting. Let them

come. We hold till dawn or till the last

of us falls.

The [music] path to the north still lies

open. Varic, take it. Live to fight

another day. Their numbers are beyond

counting. I have never run before

by the realm. But one more day, and that

is enough.

They come 10 to our one. Let them come.

Be swift. Be sharp. Waste no blow.

Tonight we do not count them. Tonight we

make them count us.

They are coming.

May the gods watch over us all.

>> To the north tower now and prepare.

Orcs don't fear death,

so we make them regret it.

>> Load them heavy lads. Let the first ones

through taste our welcome. I should we

live [music] to see the sun, I'll buy

the wine myself.

Drink slow, brother. Maybe a long while

pouring.

>> [music]

[music]

>> The enemy comes with the dawn. 10,000

strong, perhaps more. We are a fraction

of that number. Scatter our strength and

we die scattered.

So hear me now and let every man know

his charge before the horns smound. I

will hold the ground and the main gate

myself. That is where they throw their

heaviest, their beasts, their ram, their

finest killers. If the gate breaks, all

breaks. So it will not break. Not while

I draw breath before it. Then give me

the wall above. My archers will crown

the battlements and re death on any who

reach the stone. No ladder will hold

while my men stand. From the height we

bleed them, Varic, long before they ever

touch your gate. And I will be

everywhere you are not. Where the wall

cracks, I will fill it. Where a line

falters, I bring the reserve. Give me

the fastest men and let me roam. I will

patch every breach before the enemy even

learns it is open. Here, the eastern

span. The stone is old, the mort

failing. Then that is where they strike

first. I'll set my reserve behind it.

hidden. Good. Let them think it weak and

let it be their grave.

Mark me. If the gate should fall, do not

rush to save it. Seal the inner yard and

let them choke in the killing ground.

Better to lose the gate and hold the

keep than lose all trying to hold the

gate. Promise me this. I have seen walls

like this one fall. Varic.

Stone means nothing if the men behind it

break. So we do not tell them the

numbers. We tell them the north is

watching and that the dawn belongs to

those who live to see it. There are so

many fires. Then we give them so much to

burn.

Hold the ground. Hold the wall. Hold

each other. Tonight the three of us are

all that stands between them and

everything behind us. Let us be enough.

Bran,

look at me.

>> Yes, Dave.

>> Are those hands any use to you shaking

like that?

>> No.

>> Then give them something to hold. Stone.

Hold the stone. [music] Feel how cold it

is. That is all you have to do tonight.

Hold on to something that isn't going

anywhere. When the [music] horn goes, I

will tell you where to stand, and you

will stand there. And you will not have

to be brave. You will only have to be

next to me.

>> Yes, straight.

>> You're breathing like a man already

running. That's how it takes you, not

the sword. The breath goes first, then

the hands, [music] then the legs. So, we

take it back. Slow

in through the nose. Hold it through

[music] the mouth.

Longer out than in.

Good. [music] Now stand up slow and keep

it.

A thousand years. As the hatred [music]

slept beneath the roots of the world,

and this morning it opened its eyes.

Man and Orc will spill each other into

the earth again, as they did before

there were songs [music] to remember it.

The long dark is coming, [music]

and I am too old, and there are too few

of us left to turn it aside.

So I must go to them all, to the halls

of men [music] and the deep places of

the dwarves and the last woods where the

elves still ling. And I must ask them

[music] to stand together who have not

stood together in a thousand years.

[music]

They will not want to.

But the dark does not care. [music]

But the old bonds are ash.

Men swore,

and men broke it. They [music] sold

their friends for a season's peace.

The dwarves have shut their gates and

will not [music] open them, not for

pity, not for the world's ending. And

the elves have gone behind their doors

and put out the [music] lights and will

not come out of them.

So it falls to me and [music] I ride

alone. And yet I must go and ask and be

refused and [music] ask again.

For divided we are only a slower kind of

dying.

They are not what they were.

Something [music] has been at work in

the dark places patient and unhairy and

it has made them stronger. [music]

I can feel it in the ground.

has been waiting for us to forget.

>> Brothers, look upon us. Look upon what

we have become. For a thousand winters,

they penned us in the cold and the dark

and named us beasts. Tonight, tonight

the beasts have come to their gate. They

think their wall will save them. Stone

and torch light and frighten little men.

But stone does not bleed, brothers, and

stone does not remember. We remember

every chain, every lash, every one of

ours they buried in the snow.

Brothers of the Fang, the walls of the

weak tremble before us.

RAISE YOUR FIRES. RAISE YOUR STEEL.

Let them hear us in their keep and know

the cold truth that no wall was ever

built high enough to keep the dark

outside forever. You are not soldiers.

You are the storm they told their

children of. You are the night they

feared would come. And it has come. So

do not march to that wall, my brothers.

Become the thing that swallows it whole.

One wall, one night, one last cold

breath between us and everything they

love. When it falls, and it will fall,

leave nothing standing that once looked

down upon us. For the ones they chained,

for the ones they burned, for every

winter we endured in silence. Tonight we

take back the dawn. [screaming]

RISE AND FOLLOW YOUR KING INTO THEIR

NIGHTMARE. BROTHERS OF THE BLADE, sons

of the abyss, tonight we carve our names

into their bones. Their walls will

crumble. Their blood will water our

fields. Tonight we feast on their fear.

[music]

>> [music]

>> Mother, father, forgive me. Forgive the

boy who never came home. If the gods are

listening, let me be brave enough.

Just this once, let me [music] not run.

Look at me, every one of you. When the

horn sound, you do not look to the gate.

You do not look to the sky. You look to

me. Where I go, you go. When I hold, you

hold. If I fall, [music] step over me

and you keep the line. Follow me. No

matter what comes through that dark. And

I swear to you, some of us see the dawn.

Now stand.

>> Listen to me, Vic, [music] for I will

say this once. If the battle turns, if

the wall is lost and the gate [music]

gives way, you do not die here. You go

to the southern wall and you slip out

before the whole of it comes down. The

kingdom does [music] not need a hero

buried in the rubble. It needs its

commander alive. Every soul behind these

stones, every child in the Vangana and

me. If your fall for the north where you

so swear it. When [music] all is lost,

you live. You carry us out. That is your

last order for

>> You always did give the hardest orders,

old friend.

READY YOURSELVES. THE ENEMY IS UPON US.

HOLD THE LINE.

>> READY YOURSELVES. THE ENEMY IS UPON US.

Hold the line.

>> We can still go through the pass

Tonight, raise an army and fight another

day. Staying here is not courage. It is

death. This is suicide. Varic.

Brother,

my king, you must leave. Now, there are

too many. The wall will not hold. The

kingdom needs you alive, not buried

here. I beg you, go while there is still

a road left to take.

>> I will not abandon these men, Orin. They

bleed for me tonight, then I bleed

beside them. A king who runs is no king

at all. We stay. We fight. And if death

is our fate, then we meet its standing.

But my king, no, brother. [music]

A coward's crown is no throne of mine.

May the gods guide our blades. [music]

[music]

>> [music]

>> We need to move. They're coming. I can

feel it in the ground. [music]

>> Then I'll stand where I've always stood,

my king. At your side, till the end.

>> [music]

>> The wall will not hold. Stone is only

stone and it has been asked to do too

much for too long.

I [music] must raise what home I can and

take it north before the Thor.

The one man [music]

sits in chains

[music] and the crown that put him there

sits on Corin's head

and there is nothing in that man that I

would call a king.

The realm is broken in the [music] hand

like bread.

My brothers took ship across the black

water and did not look back. [music]

And I do not think they are coming. The

elves have grown quiet. Whatever ran in

them [music] is running out, and they

know it, and they will not say so aloud.

And so it comes [music] to this. One

man, one name. Somebody has to be

enough. And I do not yet know who.

Let the dwarves be reasonable. Let them

look up from their gold for one hour and

see the smoke on their own doorstep.

Whatever they think of [music] men and

they think little enough, the fire does

not stop at their gate because [music]

the stone is thick. It is coming for

them too. They may hate us and still

march with us.

Behind this one, there is another amen.

Behind that, a city that has ever shut

in. Behind that, all of them. You have

240 hands that could hold an axe. My

There was a rider at the overgate four

days back. [music]

A man sent from the human court with a

letter and I turned him [music] back

down the mountain as you have standing

It is what they do instead of paying

debts.

Three bridges, the north gate came

and I said, "Yes." 800 of mine went down

that valley. 800. And when the line

broke, the men of the north took their
