04:28Through its long tradition, the Night's Watch cultivated its strength from doomed men
04:32who had their life as their only possession.
04:34But my ancestor, Torrhen Stark, began a tradition by making an offering at the onset of winter.
04:40One in ten men from our household was to be chosen to fortify the Watch.
04:46This is not a sentence, but an honour.
04:51A duty embraced by all who serve the North, even by mine own kin.
04:58The North must stand ready.
05:03Winter is coming.
05:04Coming? What is this then, that falls from the skies and shivers my bones?
05:08This is only a late summer's snow, my prince.
05:11In winter it will cover all you see, and all memories of warmth will be forgotten.
05:16It pleases me to think that over a century ago our ancestors treated in this very place
05:21the Conqueror and the King in the North.
05:24You at least had the mercy not to threaten me with your dragon.
05:28Surely the great Torrhen Stark would have soon have died than bent the knee,
05:42unless he believed the Conqueror could bring unity to the Seven Kingdoms.
05:46You are right in that.
05:48That unity is now threatened.
05:50The realm will soon tear itself apart if men do not remember the oath sworn to King Viserys
05:55and to his rightful heir.
05:57Starks do not forget their oaths, my prince.
06:00But you must know that my gaze is forever torn between North and South.
06:05In winter, my duty to the Wall is even more dire than the one I owe to King's Landing.
06:09I need my men here.
06:11Whilst your men guard against wildlings and weather,
06:13the Hightower's plan to usurp the throne.
06:16If my mother is to defend her claim to hold the realm united, she needs an army.
06:20War is coming to the whole of the realm, my lord.
06:22We cannot wage it without the support of the North.
06:26My father brought King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne to see the Wall.
06:35His grace stood at this very outlook and watched as their dragons,
06:39the greatest power in the world, refused to cross it.
06:44Do you think my ancestors built a 700-foot wall of ice to keep out snow and savages?
06:49What does it keep out?
06:52Death.
06:57I have thousands of greybeards who have already seen too many winters.
07:04They are well-honed.
07:06So they're old.
07:08I can ready them to march at once.
07:11If your greybeards can fight, the Queen will have them.
07:14They will fight hard, like northerners.
07:19The ravens arrived.
07:20Urgent news from Dragonstone.
07:26So
07:49gave him this.
07:53Go on back.
07:56Take your mounts again.
07:58We're flying out.
08:01I alone patrol over a hundred miles of open sea, endlessly, to hold the blockade.
08:06Malus must gorge and rest.
08:08Others must die.
08:10We're going to King's Landing.
08:12To what end?
08:12Killing Vhagar.
08:14I cannot face that hoary old bitch alone.
08:16With my dragon and yours together, we can kill Vhagar and her rider.
08:19Make it a son for a son.
08:22Was this the Queen's command?
08:23The Queen remains absent.
08:25I should be at Harrenhal bending knees, but I must instead remain here to wait her war.
08:28Or perhaps more simply, to await her return.
08:30She has been gone for days.
08:32Too long.
08:32She is exposed.
08:33She is grieving.
08:34The mother grieves as the Queen shirks her duties.
08:38It was a raven that brought me news of Laena's death.
08:42I existed for weeks in torment, refusing to believe what I'd been told.
08:48It was only when I saw my daughter's mortal remains that I could begin to mourn her.
08:52A raven has told Rhaenyra that her son is dead.
08:56She needs to know it for certain.
08:57She was a fool to go alone.
09:00What if Aemon would happen upon her?
09:01Then I would pity Aemon.
09:05The Queen was wise to recuse herself.
09:07She has not acted on the vengeful impulse that others might have.
09:12If you'd have acted when you had the chance, Aegon's line would be extinguished.
09:17And Luke would be alive.
09:19Fly with me.
09:21It is a command.
09:22What that you were the king.
10:18My lord.
10:31It's a marvel she was able to return from the stepstones at all.
10:35Barely done, but done.
10:37Seven more ships put out to sea this morn to fortify the blockade.
10:40The gullet is vast, and we're not like to have the numbers to cover all that open water.
10:44I must have my ship back at sea to leave the Abbot.
10:46It'll be many weeks yet, I'd wager.
10:50But I'll have a word with my brother to see what reinforcements the shipwrights can muster.
11:03The smithy delivered this earlier.
11:07My lord.
11:13I had this commissioned for Prince Lucerys.
11:21I was very sorry to hear about your heir's death.
11:23It was the blackest of treacheries.
11:28Pardon, lord.
11:29It'll please you.
11:30Much to do.
11:32They tell me that you're the one that dragged my body out of the sea.
11:38It was only my duty.
11:43I am indebted to you, Alan.
12:13Keep your focus, men.
12:53Where is Jaehaerys?
13:12Attending his lessons.
13:15And those are where?
13:16What do you need of him?
13:17Taking him to the small council.
13:19He'll be king one day.
13:20He must begin his instruction.
13:22But if he does not want to be king...
13:24Where is he?
13:26The library.
13:27You must not interrupt his custom.
13:34I'm afraid...
13:37Don't be.
13:39They'd be fools to come with Vhagar protecting the city.
13:41Not the dragons.
13:43The rats.
13:52The queen is an enduring mystery.
13:54You should help her.
14:21There's a chill in the air.
14:27Summer is well and truly through.
14:30We are expected at small council, you agree?
14:45We cannot.
14:47Again.
14:48Yes, your grace.
14:53If you wouldn't mind.
15:18Good day.
15:35Good morrow, my lords.
15:37Mother.
15:39What news?
15:41Our letters to the Vale and to the North
15:43continue to go unanswered.
15:45Cunts.
15:46The Stormlands should be ours after Prince Aemon's marriage pact
15:50to the Lady Floris Baratheon.
15:52I anticipate their sworn declaration.
15:55My brother is raising the strength of the West
15:57to master the Golden Tooth.
15:58But we...
16:00Thank you, my prince.
16:01That's very helpful.
16:03My nephew, Lord Ormond, musters his forces to sally forth from Oldtown.
16:07They expect to march quickly, meeting little resistance
16:09until they reach the Riverlands.
16:11My letter to Rhaenyra.
16:12Has there been any answer?
16:13An apology for her dead son?
16:15None, your grace.
16:16Between that and their blockade of the gullet,
16:18we must presume that the princess has refused the offered terms
16:21and that war is now inevitable.
16:23Perhaps your grace might lend his voice to our outreach.
16:25Stop! Enough!
16:27In hopes that new terms might be negotiated.
16:29Release it at once.
16:30Would someone please...
16:31Is the heir to the throne bothering you, Tyland?
16:34No.
16:35No, not in the least, your grace.
16:37Because I think he wants a ride.
16:39Your grace?
16:40A ride.
16:40A pony ride.
16:42Wouldn't that be fun, Jaehaerys?
16:43Should the Master of Coin be your royal steed?
16:46Your grace.
16:54There are important matters to discuss.
16:57Despite Sir Tyland's interruptions.
17:00Very well.
17:01No time for amusements, Tyland.
17:04Your grace.
17:06Off you go, Jaehaerys.
17:07Good boy.
17:10Where were we?
17:11Rhaenyra's blockade has placed King's Landing under strain
17:16and those pressures will multiply quickly.
17:18Well, we should have just killed her when we had the chance.
17:20Regrettably, the opportunity for surprise has been lost
17:23and with it the chance to end this conflict quickly.
17:27We must play the board before us.
17:29If we are to break the sea snake's blockade,
17:30we will need to bolster both the Lannister and Hightower navies.
17:33We do have need for a new Master of Ships.
17:35We could offer the title to the young Lord Dalton Greyjoy.
17:37Aemond, what is your business here?
17:39The king summoned me.
17:40You do not have a seat at this council.
17:42Aemond is my closest blood and our best sword.
17:44I welcome him.
17:46The path to King's Landing is through the Riverlands.
17:48We must establish a toehold there.
17:50At Harrenhal, the river lords will either declare for me
17:53or they will meet Rhaegar and Sunfyre together.
17:56And we can burn the blockade while we're at it.
17:57Rhaenyra has dragons as well.
17:58Mine are bigger.
17:59If we loose the dragons to war, there'll be no calling them back.
18:01We must proceed cautiously.
18:02Fat old Lord Tully will either raise my banner or see his burn.
18:06We should fly to Riverrun.
18:07You are the king.
18:08Your grace, you must not put yourself at risk.
18:10And Rhaegar is needed here to deter Rhaenyra from attacking.
18:12In retribution for the death of her son.
18:15Errors were made in the hours following King Viserys's death.
18:19We mustn't compound them.
18:22You've already demonstrated your might, your grace.
18:24We must now favour patience and restraint.
18:27I send ravens by the hour.
18:29Many and more houses will declare for you in time.
18:32History and precedent will come to your side.
18:41Good morning, your grace.
18:42Good morning, Lord Laerys.
18:44I had come earlier to have a word before the small council convened,
18:46but your handmaiden said that you were indisposed.
18:52What is it you wish to discuss?
18:56I have completed questioning the whole of the castle staff.
18:59They produced rather interesting details,
19:01but I am satisfied I have exposed all who betrayed our trust.
19:06And what of them?
19:08They no longer breathe our air.
19:11I have chosen your new staff personally.
19:30Give me that.
19:31Your grace?
19:33Just leave me.
19:36Just leave me.
19:40Just leave me.
20:10It's a dragon wing!
20:11That's it! Take good point, sir!
20:13It's a wing!
20:15DRAGON!
20:40Go!
21:10Hail King Aegon!
21:30Aegon the Magnanimous, second of his name,
21:34king of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men,
21:36lord of the Seven Kingdoms and protector of the realm.
21:39Hail King Aegon!
21:41The Magnanimous.
21:45Your grace.
21:47Let's have the first petition, my good lord hand.
21:53Good morrow, your grace.
21:55It's all right. There's no reason to be nervous.
21:57What's your name?
21:59Gerard, your grace.
22:00Good morrow, Gerard.
22:01And how might your king be of service?
22:04Tis my flock.
22:06A tenth of them taken by the crown on the cusp of winter.
22:14If I'd had the time to plan...
22:15We should return them.
22:19Your grace?
22:20You need your goats for the winter, don't you?
22:22Sheep, your grace.
22:23Sheep, even better.
22:24I shall make your flock of sheep whole.
22:27We already made a promise to all the crown lords that a tithing of livestock
22:31would be necessary to sustain the dragons for their increased activity
22:34and, pray not, eventual fighting.
22:37Right.
22:38I'd...
22:39Perhaps we could just return his sheep.
22:41He came all this way.
22:41If you return one herd of sheep, your grace,
22:44you'll soon find them all at the foot of your throne expecting the same.
22:47They won't know.
22:49When the king speaks, your grace, all hear it.
22:53After further thought, I have decided that I cannot restore your sheep.
22:58If war were to break out, my dragons will require feed.
23:00Bring the next.
23:03Salts always run scarce on the road to winter, your grace.
23:07We rely on ships from Essos for our supply.
23:09And now, with a blockade in place and war threatening...
23:12That treasonous blockade won't last long.
23:14I plan to send Vhagar to burn it to ash.
23:15Bring the next.
23:16I have decided that I cannot restore your sheep.
23:19If war were to break out, my dragons will require feed.
23:21Bring the next.
23:23Hugh, your grace.
23:31The smiths are all proud to support your grace against Rhaenyra.
23:37But...
23:38But?
23:40Iron costs have grown.
23:42A lone scorpion takes weeks to build.
23:46To put it simply, we are struggling.
23:48If we could but have the crown's coin before we started work,
23:52it would bring great relief.
23:53Not just to me, but to all the smiths serving your cause.
24:00You shall be paid, and paid well.
24:02My army cannot win a war without your weapons.
24:04You should continue their making.
24:06Our victory depends on the efforts of the small folk.
24:11You have my most sincere gratitude, your grace.
24:14I'll hear the next petition.
24:15Your grace, it filled my heart to see you on the Iron Throne.
24:19I was only a boy when Jaehaerys last graced the seat,
24:21but you brought forth memories of him,
24:22and he was such a deft touch with the small folk,
24:24just as your father did.
24:25Thank you, my lord.
24:26I wonder, do you have a moment for a quiet row?
24:33It is the hand's want to keep a firm grip on things.
24:37You controlled your father at the same rate.
24:40I did.
24:41I did.
24:43You controlled your father at the same rate.
24:46Jaehaerys had a certain reputation as being pliable.
24:48I am aware.
24:51I would think,
24:52as we find ourselves standing within a hair's breadth of war,
24:54that you would wish to be viewed differently.
24:59How?
25:01Otto Hightower
25:03was your father's, and your grace.
25:13Daughter.
25:20I requested an audience hours ago.
25:24There were many petitions.
25:29I find myself wondering,
25:31do we pursue the same end?
25:34I must admit, there are days where I myself can't be sure.
25:38I should tell you mine.
25:39For me,
25:41it's victory.
25:43And how would you define victory?
25:45Rhaenyra bending the knee,
25:46and Aegon sitting now in the throne in peace,
25:49as Viserys wished.
25:50Well, if that's how you describe it, then we are aligned.
25:53Then be my ally.
25:55I am.
25:55An ally would not repeatedly cut my legs from beneath me at that table of men.
25:58I sit there and I feel your anger.
26:00Frustration.
26:01These critical days since Viserys' passing haven't gone to plan.
26:04That's not my fault.
26:06My sons both see you as the great example.
26:09The hand to three kings.
26:11Aegon is ever eager to prove himself, and Aemond...
26:15Aemond is angry.
26:18Rhaenyra's son took his eye and was never punished for it.
26:20What he did, however vicious...
26:22With the priests of youth.
26:27I can only hope.
26:28Aemond, heard.
26:31But he is fiercely loyal.
26:32He wishes to please.
26:34And Aegon still heeds me.
26:35In private, at least.
26:37But if you undermine my voice, both those boys will grow deaf to it.
26:46I hadn't seen it that way.
26:48We only need to mind Aegon until the novelty of rule is spent.
26:52Once he tires of it, you and I can steer our cause to victory.
26:54A fine strategy, daughter.
26:57But you must accept that the path to victory now is one of violence.
27:03I know it.
27:07But that does not mean it must be wanton.
27:11No.
27:32Search the hall for stowaways!
27:37Search the hall for stowaways!
27:56You.
27:59When last we met, there were two of you.
28:03The White Whelm.
28:05Did you think I would wither in your absence?
28:07I did not think you would flower a traitor.
28:08You speak of highborn, Games.
28:10I am commonborn.
28:11How long have you been selling secrets to Otto Hightower?
28:13As long as he had gold to pay for that.
28:17Who sent you fleeing from King's Landing with such disrepair?
28:21You put Aegon on the throne.
28:23That was the Hightower's conspiracy.
28:25I merely profited from knowing Aegon's movements.
28:27But you delivered him.
28:28He would have returned home eventually for gold and for respite, as he always does.
28:31I simply...
28:32Simply split the business along.
28:34Business that ended with the theft of the Queen's throne and the murder of her son.
28:36You only blame me because your true enemies are out of reach.
28:40My arrangement with the Hand was purely transactional.
28:43I held no loyalty to him.
28:45Certainly do not now.
28:47Otto Hightower was to me as I am to your noble ilk fodder to be cast off.
28:51What else do you know of him, his plans?
28:52Little and less.
28:56I possess nothing of value to you, Daemon.
29:04Have her moved to the cells.
29:18She is to be treated as a traitor to the Crown.
29:22Forgive me, my Prince, but the Lady speaks the truth.
29:25She was no agent of Hightower's.
29:27What is it to you?
29:28A matter of honour.
29:29Was it honour that made you stand by and watch as the Hightowers usurp the throne?
29:33You and your traitorous twin.
29:35No, my Prince.
29:37I'm shamed by it.
29:39It's why I abandoned the Kingsguard and my brother and came here.
29:43I don't care.
29:44Aegon was in your grasp.
29:45You should have killed him yourself.
29:47I reckon I were named to the Kingsguard at just eight and ten.
29:50And we swore the same oath to defend the whole of the royal family.
29:54So what were we to do when they turned against one another?
30:02The Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men.
30:27Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.
30:33Did you find what you needed?
30:43The Council stands at the ready, Your Grace.
30:49I will fly to Harrenhal at your command and set our toehold in the Riverlands.
30:53Your Grace, my Lord Husband's blockade of the Gullet moves into place.
30:56All seaborne travel and trade to King's Landing will soon be cut off.
31:03I want him.
31:05Aemond Targaryen.
31:32In your years as merchant of gossip, you surely accumulated spies within the Red Keep.
31:49Servants who knew the comings and goings.
31:51I came with someone else, Daemon.
31:53I was once in your thrall, but no longer.
31:56A transaction then?
31:58Your knowledge in exchange for your freedom?
32:02Your Grace.
32:27Lady Jeyne Arryn has pledged her support in exchange for a dragon to guard the Vale.
32:32And Lord Cregan Stark has promised 2,000 men.
33:02Halloway Florence.
33:32Seras Targaryen.
34:02Seras Targaryen.
34:31Seras Targaryen.
35:01A tribute.
35:24To Mordor.
35:25Never gone for long.
35:28I'm told you bear a mislike for the Hightowers.
35:32Fuck the Hightowers.
35:50The White Worm said you're one of Aegon's rat catchers.
35:53He must be busy.
35:54That castle positively crawls with them now.
35:57I heard the White Worm was dead.
35:59Her ghost told me you were a betting man, fighting pits.
36:01Dogs and bones.
36:05How deep your debts?
36:12I was also given to understand that you possess a unique knowledge of the Red Keep.
36:15My ghost tunnels.
36:17Redwood rat's nest it is.
36:19I know them better than the shape of my own cock.
36:24This is my friend.
36:26Tonight he's going to be your friend.
36:28You're to find and slay the Prince Aemon Targaryen.
36:32He has silver hair and one eye.
36:34Should be easy enough to find.
36:37But I understand he's quite good in a fight.
36:38You'll want to take caution.
36:41One half.
36:42We'll get the other when it's done.
36:54All right.
36:54What if we can't find him?
37:00We've wasted precious days in this war of quills and ravens.
37:02Words are wind.
37:05You should be leading the van.
37:07And I should be flying cover on Vhagar.
37:09No castle would dare to raise Rhaenyra's banner against us.
37:11We would bring the whole of the crown lands to heel in weeks.
37:14Or mayhaps we could petition the king.
37:16Privately.
37:17To send us out.
37:20Rosby and Stokeworth.
37:22Small business.
37:22Rosby and Stokeworth.
37:24Small castles right in the shadow of King's Landing.
37:26They would not want us for enemies.
37:28We could add their lovies to our own.
37:30Have a host growing as we advance.
37:34That is a canny scheme.
37:37But Moot.
37:38My brother is hostage to my grandsire and mother.
37:40And they tell him that a war of dragons can yet be avoided.
37:43It is inevitable.
37:44They must see that.
37:46What if there's too upset the order of things?
37:48And Alicent is simply...
37:51...angry.
37:53Angry?
37:53She blames me for starting this war.
37:56After she plotted with my father's council to usurp his throne.
38:00Her grace speaks with two tongues.
38:06She has a gentle heart.
38:08And Rhaenyra is a cunning spider.
38:11Long ago she drew Alicent into her web.
38:14Intoxicated her.
38:17It is not your mother's fault.
38:19She holds love for our enemy.
38:23That makes her a fool.
38:37Lord Hand.
38:46Return to your post, Lord Commander.
38:48I must have a word with the prince.
38:53It would concern me, grandson,
38:55if plans were being considered beyond the ears of your king and his hand.
38:59You have a zeal to act.
39:00I understand.
39:01I was young once, myself...
39:02I only wish to serve my king in my house.
39:09You and Vhagar are the greatest single power in the realm.
39:15And you are the only one who can do that.
39:17I am the only one who can do that.
39:19I am the only one who can do that.
39:21I am the only one who can do that.
39:23If it wasn't obvious before, it certainly is now.
39:29But there are many pieces at play here.
39:33Some of which you can't yet see.
39:36I promise you, Aemond,
39:37you will have all the vengeance that you seek,
39:39but you must keep a grip on your impulses.
39:44We both know that your brother cannot.
40:22Take that!
40:33Bring the dog!
40:52I need to be a symbol for the small folk, as well as an ability.
40:59You could always be Aegon the Strong.
41:02My nephew's already taken that.
41:05He's the king.
41:05Loved or feared.
41:06I need to be both.
41:08My mother and grandsire mind me like some helpless duckling.
41:11Oh, but you're the king!
41:13Who gives a shit what they say?
41:14My brother at least knows his place.
41:16He's as loyal as a hound.
41:18I can set him and his dragon on my foes at will.
41:22Keep your eyes down.
41:23I need a style that demonstrates power and commands respect.
41:27No one knows what magnanimous means.
41:29Be Aegon the Generous, then.
41:31That would charm the small folk.
41:32I like that.
41:33Is there more strong ones?
41:34Aegon the Dragonheart.
41:35That's it.
41:36Aegon the Dragoncock.
41:38Yes, yes, the untameable beast.
41:52How do we get upstairs?
42:02The royals live up there.
42:04Right.
42:05Well, it's off-limits, it is.
42:07Different group of ratcatchers work the upstairs.
42:09If we're to kill a royal fucking prince, where do you think we're gonna find him?
42:13I got you in the castle.
42:14I thought the rest was your bed.
42:18I could end you right here.
42:19Take the rest to go myself.
42:22I know a way upstairs.
42:25I just don't know my way around.
42:29Show me.
42:39This way.
42:52The royals live on this level.
43:13No one's here.
43:15We need to keep looking.
43:16I told you I'm not supposed to be up here.
43:18Did you know he's a prince?
43:21No head.
43:22No gold.
43:28Set a trap.
43:30Huh?
43:31For appearances.
43:33I'll search the next room.
43:52For the rats.
44:22Taste you.
44:39Who the fuck is she?
44:41She's the queen, she is.
44:43A son for a son, he said.
44:45Or does she look like a fucking son to you?
44:49Over there.
44:53We need to get out of it and get out.
44:59Shh.
45:05They both look the same.
45:07Which one's a boy?
45:08Maybe that one.
45:09But look for a cock.
45:14The mother knows.
45:17Do anything but what I ask and I'll bleed the hell out of you.
45:23Shh.
45:27Witch.
45:30I have a necklace.
45:33It's of great value.
45:37That's not a son.
45:53Shh.
45:57Wait.
45:59It's the other one.
46:00She's not gonna give up the king's heir that easy.
46:10No.
46:12She's telling true.
46:17Hold him down.
46:22Right here.
46:52Oh.
47:12Helena.
47:17What's happened?
47:22They killed the boy.
56:52So
58:22you
