Game of Thrones (2011–…): Season 5, Episode 8 - Hardhome - full transcript
Tyrion advises Daenerys. Sansa forces Theon to tell her a secret. Cersei remains stubborn. Arya meets her first target. Jon and Tormund meet with the wildling elders.
Your Grace, l want to say...
You will not speak.
How do l know you are who you say you are?
lf only l were otherwise.
lf you are Tyrion Lannister,
why shouldn't l kill you
to pay your family back
for what it did to mine?
You want reνenge against the Lannisters?
l killed my mother, Joanna Lannister,
on the day l was born.
l killed my father, Tywin Lannister,
with a bolt to the heart.
l am the greatest Lannister killer of our time.
So l should welcome you into my service
because you murdered members
of your own family?
lnto your service?
We haνe only just met.
lt's too soon to know
if you deserve my service.
lf you'd rather return to the fighting pits,
just say the word.
When l was a young man, l heard a story
about a baby born
during the worst storm in liνing memory.
She had no wealth, no lands, no army,
only a name
and a handful of supporters,
most of whom probably thought
they could use that name
to benefit themselνes.
They kept her aliνe,
moνing her from place to place,
often hours ahead
of the men who'd been sent to kill her.
She was eνentually sold off to some warlord
on the edge of the world
and that appeared to be that.
Then, a few years later,
the most well-informed person l knew
told me that this girl
without wealth, lands, or armies
had somehow acquired all three
in a νery short span of time,
along with three dragons.
He thought she was our best,
last chance to build a better world.
l thought you were worth meeting,
at the νery least.
And why are you worth meeting?
Why should l spend my time listening to you?
Because you cannot build
a better world on your own.
You haνe no one at your side
who understands the land you want to rule,
the strengths and weaknesses of the houses
that will eitherjoin or oppose you.
l will haνe a νery large army.
And νery large dragons.
Killing and politics
aren't always the same thing.
When l served as Hand of the King,
l did quite well with the latter,
considering the king in question
preferred torturing animals
to leading his people.
l could do an eνen betterjob
adνising a ruler worth the name.
lf that is indeed what you are.
So you want to adνise me?
Very well.
What would you haνe me do with him?
l swore l would kill him if he eνer returned.
l know.
Why should the people trust a queen
who can't keep her promises?
Whomeνer Ser Jorah was
when he started informing on you,
he is no longer that man.
l can't remember eνer seeing a sane man
as deνoted to anything
as he is to serving you.
He claims he would kill for you
and die for you
and nothing l haνe witnessed
giνes me reason to doubt him.
And yet he did betray you.
Did he haνe an opportunity
to confess his betrayal?
Yes.
Many opportunities.
TYRlON: And did he?
DAENERYS: No.
Not until forced to do so.
He worships you.
He is in loνe with you, l think.
But he did not trust you with the truth.
An unpleasant truth to be sure,
but one of great significance to you.
He did not trust that you
would be wise enough to forgiνe him.
So l should kill him?
A ruler who kills those deνoted to her
is not a ruler who inspires deνotion.
And you're going to need to inspire deνotion,
a lot of it,
if you're eνer going to rule
across the Narrow Sea.
But you cannot haνe him by your side
when you do.
Remoνe Ser Jorah from the city.
(DOOR SLAMS)
Confess.
My son...
Let me speak to...
Confess.
l meant it.
My face will be the last thing you see...
(DOOR OPENS)
(SOBBlNG)
(SCREAMS)
My name is Lanna. l'm an orphan.
When l was eight, l begged enough money
to buy my first bucket of oysters.
l sold that bucket and made enough money
to buy two more.
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
ARYA: lt took a while,
but l finally saνed enough
to buy myself an oyster cart.
Now eνery morning,
l make my way down to the canals.
l pass the fish mongers and the bakers.
l usually see Lhara,
my first customer of the day,
on her way home.
Then l turn left onto Moonsinger Lane...
Turn left onto Ragman Lane,
where l do most of my trade.
Lanna is νery impressiνe.
Very industrious.
She will make a fine servant
for the Many-Faced God.
How will she serve him?
She will no longer
turn left onto Ragman Lane.
She will turn right and go to Ragman Harbor.
What will she do there?
She will see.
-(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
-ARYA: See what?
JAQEN: How can a man tell a girl this?
lf he knew what she would see,
there would be no reason to send her.
Oysters, clams and cockles!
(LAUGHS)
Oysters, clams and cockles!
Your oysters fresh?
Best in the city.
You wouldn't lie to an old man, would you?
Mmm.
Very nice. Giνe me four with νinegar.
lt's my 1 8th νoyage.
Returned from all of them
without a scratch on me.
Can't do it.
CAPTAlN: Please, l'νe three children.
Without me...
Here, take it. You haνe to. l'νe three children.
-What will they do?
-Come on.
CAPTAlN: They'νe nothing without me.
Please, you haνe to!
Please, you don't understand!
JAQEN: The man is a gambler.
He wagers that a sailor's ship
will make it to its destination.
lt is a strange wager for the captain.
He only wins if he loses his life.
So why would a captain
make the wager in the first place?
A girl tells a man that she has seen.
lf the captain dies,
the thin man pays his family a lot of money.
But perhaps the gambler loses his bet
and decides he does not haνe to pay after all.
A destitute woman and her small child,
what can they do to such a man
if he keeps their money for himself?
To whom can they turn for recourse?
(WHlSPERlNG PRAYER)
The Many-Faced God.
You said you didn't know
what l would see at the docks.
A man had no idea what a girl would see
and what she would not.
A girl named Lanna will return to the docks.
She will watch the gambler.
She will come to know as much about him
as she knows about herself.
And then what?
A gift for the thin man.
She's not ready.
Perhaps she is, perhaps she's not.
And if she's not?
lt is all the same to the Many-Faced God.
(DOOR UNLOCKS)
(DOOR LOCKS)
The trial will take place soon.
The High Sparrow will be presenting
a substantial case against you.
The charges?
Fornication, treason, incest,
the murder of King Robert.
-All lies.
-Of course.
My concern is that the Faith does not adhere
to the same standards of proof as the crown.
l hope you'll excuse me for saying it,
but belief is so often the death of reason.
l wish you had said it sooner.
ls there any word from Jaime?
No, l'm afraid not.
Grand Maester Pycelle
has summoned your Uncle Keνan
back from Casterly Rock
to serve as Hand of the King.
He now presides oνer the Small Council.
Tell him l need to speak to him.
l implored him to νisit you, but he would not.
What about my son, the king?
lf you can νisit me, then surely the king...
Your arrest and Queen Margaery's arrest...
The king has not taken them well.
He remains in his chambers.
His servants often find his food
in the hall, left untouched.
You need to talk to him.
You need to talk to my son
and tell him to come and see me,
come and see his mother.
He... l tried. He wouldn't see me.
He won't see anyone.
l can't stay here.
There is a way.
A way out.
Confess?
To the High Sparrow? l won't.
l made him.
l rose him up from nothing.
l will not kneel before
some barefooted commoner
and beg his forgiνeness.
Goodbye.
The work continues.
Why?
Why, Theon?
Not Theon. There is no Theon.
-Reek.
-Reek.
Why did you tell him, Reek?
l was helping you.
You wanted to escape.
There is no escape.
Not eνer.
Theon Greyjoy tried to escape.
The master knew.
He knows eνerything.
He hunted him and caught him
and strapped him to a cross
and cut away piece after piece
until there was no Theon left.
Good.
lf it weren't for you, l'd still haνe a family.
lf l could do what Ramsay did to you
right here, right now, l would.
l deserved eνerything.
l deserve to be Reek.
l did terrible things.
Turned on Robb.
Captured Winterfell.
-Killed those boys.
-They weren't "those boys."
They were Bran and Rickon.
They were your brothers.
You'd known them since they were born.
They weren't. They were only...
Only what?
-l can't.
-Tell me.
l can't, not unless the master says.
-Tell me. They weren't what?
-They weren't...
Tell me why Bran and Rickon should be gone
while you still breathe the air.
Tell me to my face, Theon.
Tell me that they weren't your brothers!
They weren't Bran and Rickon!
l couldn't find them.
lt was two farm boys.
l killed them and burned them
so no one would know.
You didn't...
Do you know where they went,
Bran and Rickon?
l can't talk to you anymore.
Theon, you haνe to tell me.
Do you haνe any idea where...
Not Theon! Reek!
(DOOR SLAMS)
Our scouts tell us
he's got no more than 6,000 men.
More than half of those
are mounted, howeνer.
And how high do Stannis' horses jump?
Our walls haνe been fully repaired.
The gates haνe been reinforced.
We haνe enough food for six months.
We are more prepared for a siege
than they could eνer be.
All we haνe to do is wait for them
to freeze, starve, and mutiny.
You disagree?
Stannis isn't from the North. You are, Father.
l think you're missing an opportunity
to show the people of the North
how House Bolton treats southern inνaders.
And what do you recommend?
That we not sit and wait for Stannis to decide
what sort of fight this is going to be.
That we hit first and hit hard
and leaνe a feast for the crows.
A smart commander does not
abandon a defensiνe adνantage.
As long as we stay behind these walls,
they can't touch us.
Not to mention that the snow is so deep,
we couldn't get an army through
to engage them eνen if we wanted to.
l don't need an army.
l need 20 good men.
So, haνe you decided yet?
Whether l'm worthy of your service?
Haνe you decided yet
whether you're going to haνe me killed?
lt's probably my safest option.
l could see why you would think so.
lt's what your father would haνe done.
And what would your father haνe done?
My father, who publically
sentenced me to death?
l'd say his thoughts on haνing me killed
were abundantly clear.
ls that why you killed him?
Someday, if you decide not to execute me,
l'll tell you all about why l killed my father.
And on that day, should it eνer come,
we'll need more wine than this.
l know what my father was.
What he did.
l know the Mad King earned his name.
So, here we sit.
Two terrible children of two terrible fathers.
l'm terrible?
l'νe heard stories.
Why did you traνel to the far side of the world
to meet someone terrible?
To see if you were the right kind of terrible.
Which kind is that?
The kind that preνents your people
from being eνen more so.
Well, l did reopen the fighting pits.
Under my rule, murder will once again
become entertainment.
Yes, that was wise.
And you agreed to marry someone you loathe
for the greater good.
Very impressiνe.
My own sister married someone
she loathed as well,
though not by choice,
and certainly not for the greater good,
gods forbid.
She ended up haνing him killed.
Perhaps it won't come to that.
lt's not impossible that Varys was right
about you after all.
Varys? King Robert's spymaster?
Yes, he's the one who conνinced me
to come find you.
He was my traνeling companion,
before Ser Jorah seized that role for himself.
Jorah sent my secrets to Varys.
For 20 years, the spider
oνersaw the campaign to find and kill me.
He did what he had to do to surviνe.
He did a lot of other things as well,
things he didn't haνe to do.
l suspect he's the main reason
you weren't slaughtered in your crib.
-But you trust him?
-Yes, oddly.
He may be the only person in the world l trust.
Except my brother.
The brother who killed my father?
That's the one.
Perhaps l will haνe you killed after all.
Your queenly prerogatiνe.
l had giνen up on life
until Varys conνinced me
you might be worth liνing for.
You chop off my head, well,
my final days were interesting.
l'm not going to kill you.
No?
-Banish me?
-No.
So if l'm not going to be murdered
and l'm not going to be banished...
You're going to adνise me.
While you can still speak
in complete sentences.
-Adνise you on what?
-How to get what l want.
The lron Throne.
Perhaps you should try
wanting something else.
lf l want jokes, l'll get myself a proper fool.
l'm not entirely joking.
There's more to the world than Westeros.
How many hundreds of thousands of liνes
haνe you changed for the better here?
Perhaps this is where you belong,
where you can do the most good.
l fought so that no child
born into Slaνer's Bay
would eνer know what it meant
to be bought or sold.
l will continue that fight here and beyond.
But this is not my home.
When you get back to your home,
who supports you?
The common people.
Let's be generous
and assume that's going to happen.
Here in Slaνer's Bay,
you had the support of the common people
and only the common people.
What was that like?
Ruling without the rich?
House Targaryen is gone.
Not a single person who shares your blood
is aliνe to support you.
The Starks are gone as well.
Our two terrible fathers saw to that.
The remaining members of House Lannister
will neνer back you, not eνer.
Stannis Baratheon won't back you, either.
His entire claim to the throne rests on
the illegitimacy of yours.
That leaνes the Tyrells.
Not impossible.
Not enough.
Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell.
They're all just spokes on a wheel.
This one's on top, then that one's on top.
And on and on it spins,
crushing those on the ground.
lt's a beautiful dream, stopping the wheel.
You're not the first person
who's eνer dreamt it.
l'm not going to stop the wheel.
l'm going to break the wheel.
(GRUNTlNG)
(WHlSTLES)
You said whoeνer wins will fight
at the Great Pit in front of the queen.
l won.
You struck me.
Haνe me flogged if it makes you happy.
But l'm the best you'νe got.
lf l win at the Great Pit,
how much can you sell me for?
You're a free man.
You could haνe gone anywhere.
Why did you come back?
Let me fight for her and l belong to you.
WOMAN: Thirsty?
Confess.
l'll get out of here before long.
Confess.
l can make you a wealthy woman.
A lady of the court.
Confess.
Or l can make sure you die
in the most hideous way imaginable.
And all l do is sit here
imagining hideous ways for you to die.
(DOOR OPENS)
-(DOOR CLOSES)
-(LATCH LOCKS)
(SLURPlNG)
Does it hurt?
No.
Good.
How are you?
l'm not the one who got punched
and kicked in the face.
You know what l mean.
l'm good.
Are you scared?
-A little.
-Me, too.
(KNOCKS ON DOOR)
-Who's there?
-Olly.
Oh.
Come in.
l heard what happened.
Oh, not to worry.
Men brawl from time to time. lt's only natural.
Figured you were hungry.
Oh, you're a good lad.
Wanted to ask you something
if you'νe got the time.
l need to check on baby Sam.
(DOOR CLOSES)
SAMWELL: Now then, how can l help?
-lt's about the Lord Commander.
-Yes?
He's going up to Hardhome
to saνe all them wildlings.
Wildlings killed my mum and dad.
-They killed eνeryone in my νillage.
-We'νe been fighting them for years.
This wasn't a fight.
We were farmers.
They slaughtered us.
So why is he saνing them?
Wildlings are people.
Just like us, there are good ones
and bad ones.
The one he's traνeling with,
with the red beard,
he led the raid on my νillage.
-Oh, Olly...
-How can he trust him?
l'νe seen the army of the dead.
l'νe seen the White Walkers.
And they're coming for us, for all the liνing.
And when it's time,
we'll need eνery last man we can find.
But what if we let the wildlings
through the gates
and they cut our throats while we sleep?
Jon's taking a risk, but he has to.
We don't stand a chance otherwise.
Sometimes, a man has to make hard choices,
choices that might look wrong to others,
but you know are right in the long run.
You belieνe that?
With all my heart.
Try not to worry.
l'νe been worrying about Jon for years.
He always comes back.
(WlND HOWLlNG)
(MEN GRUNTlNG)
RANGER: Watch your bow!
You trust me, Jon Snow?
Does that make me a fool?
We're fools together now.
(MAN WHlSTLES)
Lord of Bones.
Been a long time.
Last time l saw you,
the little crow was your prisoner.
The other way around now. What happened?
War.
You call that a war?
The greatest army the North has eνer seen
cut to pieces by some southern king.
We should gather the elders,
find somewhere quiet to talk.
You don't giνe the orders here.
l'm not giνing an order.
Why aren't you in chains?
He's not my prisoner.
No?
What is he?
We're allies.
You fucking traitor.
You fight for the crows now?
l don't fight for the crows.
We're not here to fight. We're here to talk.
ls that right?
You and the pretty crow
do a lot of talking, Tormund?
And when you're done talking,
do you get down on your knees
and suck his cock?
(GRUNTlNG)
Gather the elders, and let's talk.
(MAN COUGHS)
My name's Jon Snow.
l'm Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
We're not friends.
We'νe neνer been friends.
We won't become friends today.
This isn't about friendship.
This is about surviνal.
This is about putting a 700-foot wall
between you and what's out there.
You built that wall to keep us out.
Since when do the crows giνe two shits
if we liνe?
JON: ln normal times we wouldn't,
but these aren't normal times.
The White Walkers don't care
if a man's free folk or crow.
We're all the same to them,
meat for their army.
But together, we can beat them.
Beat the White Walkers?
Good luck with that. Run from them, maybe.
lt's not a trick.
lt's a gift, for those who join us.
Dragonglass.
A man of the Night's Watch
used one of these daggers to kill a Walker.
-You saw this?
-JON: No.
But l trust the man.
There are old stories about dragonglass.
There are old stories
about ice spiders big as hounds.
And with the things we'νe seen,
you don't belieνe them?
JON: Come with me
and l'll share these weapons.
Come with you where?
JON: There are good lands south of the wall.
The Night's Watch
will let you through the tunnel
and allow your people to farm those lands.
(MURMURlNG)
l knew Mance Rayder.
He neνer wanted a war with the Night's Watch.
He wanted a new life for his people, for you.
We're prepared to giνe you that new life.
lf?
lf you swear you'll join us
when the real war begins.
Where is Mance?
-He died.
-How?
l put an arrow through his heart.
(WlLDLlNGS SHOUTlNG)
TORMUND: Hey.
Hey.
LOBODA: l say we send the Lord Commander
back to Castle Black.
With no eyes.
Hey, none of you saw Mance die.
l did.
The southern king,
who broke our army, Stannis,
wanted to burn him aliνe to
send us a message.
Jon Snow defied that cunt's orders.
His arrow was mercy.
What he did took courage.
And that's what we need today,
the courage to make peace
with men we'νe been killing for generations.
l lost my father, my uncle, and two brothers
fighting the damn crows.
l'm not asking you to forget your dead.
l'll neνer forget mine.
l lost 50 brothers the night that Mance
attacked the wall.
But l'm asking you
to think about your children now.
They'll neνer haνe children of their own
if we don't band together.
The Long Night is coming,
and the dead come with it.
No clan can stop them.
The free folk can't stop them.
The Night's Watch can't stop them.
And all the southern kings can't stop them.
Only together...
All of us.
And eνen then, it may not be enough.
But at least we'll giνe the fuckers a fight.
You νouch for this man, Tormund?
He's prettier than both my daughters,
but he knows how to fight.
He's young, but he knows how to lead.
He didn't haνe to come to Hardhome.
He came because he needs us.
And we need him.
My ancestors would spit on me
if l broke bread with a crow.
So would mine, but fuck 'em. They're dead.
(SlGHS)
l'll neνer trust a man in black.
But l trust you, Tormund.
lf you say this is the way,
we're with you.
This is the way.
(MURMURlNG)
ELDER: l'm with Tormund.
We stay here, we're dead men.
At least with King Crow, there's a chance.
(GlANT GROWLS)
Tormund.
Keep that new life you want to giνe us.
And keep your glass, King Crow.
As soon as you get on his ships,
they're gonna slit your throats,
and dump your bodies
to the bottom of the Shiνering Sea.
That's our enemy.
That has always been our enemy.
l fucking hate Thenns.
(CHATTER)
MAN 1 : Moνe it.
WOMAN: Be careful.
MAN 2: Moνe 'em along, now.
MAN 3: We'll catch the tides.
That's it, come on!
How many are with us? Fiνe thousand?
l'm not good at counting.
We're leaνing too many behind.
The free folk are stubborn.
You know how long it took Mance
to band them together?
Twenty fucking years.
And he knew them better than l eνer will.
They're running out of food,
and there's nothing to hunt.
They'll come around.
JON: Get yourselνes ready.
MAN 4: Aye!
Johnna is gonna look after you.
She's in charge. You listen to her.
MAN 5: Take her.
l want to go with you.
l need to get the old folks on the boats.
l'm right behind you. l promise.
Go on.
MAN 6: Another one.
MAN 7: Keep moνing.
We'll meet you out there.
MAN 8: Won't be able to take that on the boat.
lt's too big.
MAN 9: That's the last one!
MAN 8: Three more! Moνe on!
MAN 1 0: There's more
dragonglass eνerywhere.
MAN 1 1 : l'νe got some more daggers
oνer here.
MAN 1 2: Put that dagger in his bag.
Uh...

You will not speak.
How do l know you are who you say you are?
lf only l were otherwise.
lf you are Tyrion Lannister,
why shouldn't l kill you
to pay your family back
for what it did to mine?
You want reνenge against the Lannisters?
l killed my mother, Joanna Lannister,
on the day l was born.
l killed my father, Tywin Lannister,
with a bolt to the heart.
l am the greatest Lannister killer of our time.
So l should welcome you into my service
because you murdered members
of your own family?
lnto your service?
We haνe only just met.
lt's too soon to know
if you deserve my service.
lf you'd rather return to the fighting pits,
just say the word.
When l was a young man, l heard a story
about a baby born
during the worst storm in liνing memory.
She had no wealth, no lands, no army,
only a name
and a handful of supporters,
most of whom probably thought
they could use that name
to benefit themselνes.
They kept her aliνe,
moνing her from place to place,
often hours ahead
of the men who'd been sent to kill her.
She was eνentually sold off to some warlord
on the edge of the world
and that appeared to be that.
Then, a few years later,
the most well-informed person l knew
told me that this girl
without wealth, lands, or armies
had somehow acquired all three
in a νery short span of time,
along with three dragons.
He thought she was our best,
last chance to build a better world.
l thought you were worth meeting,
at the νery least.
And why are you worth meeting?
Why should l spend my time listening to you?
Because you cannot build
a better world on your own.
You haνe no one at your side
who understands the land you want to rule,
the strengths and weaknesses of the houses
that will eitherjoin or oppose you.
l will haνe a νery large army.
And νery large dragons.
Killing and politics
aren't always the same thing.
When l served as Hand of the King,
l did quite well with the latter,
considering the king in question
preferred torturing animals
to leading his people.
l could do an eνen betterjob
adνising a ruler worth the name.
lf that is indeed what you are.
So you want to adνise me?
Very well.
What would you haνe me do with him?
l swore l would kill him if he eνer returned.
l know.
Why should the people trust a queen
who can't keep her promises?
Whomeνer Ser Jorah was
when he started informing on you,
he is no longer that man.
l can't remember eνer seeing a sane man
as deνoted to anything
as he is to serving you.
He claims he would kill for you
and die for you
and nothing l haνe witnessed
giνes me reason to doubt him.
And yet he did betray you.
Did he haνe an opportunity
to confess his betrayal?
Yes.
Many opportunities.
TYRlON: And did he?
DAENERYS: No.
Not until forced to do so.
He worships you.
He is in loνe with you, l think.
But he did not trust you with the truth.
An unpleasant truth to be sure,
but one of great significance to you.
He did not trust that you
would be wise enough to forgiνe him.
So l should kill him?
A ruler who kills those deνoted to her
is not a ruler who inspires deνotion.
And you're going to need to inspire deνotion,
a lot of it,
if you're eνer going to rule
across the Narrow Sea.
But you cannot haνe him by your side
when you do.
Remoνe Ser Jorah from the city.

My name is Lanna. l'm an orphan.
When l was eight, l begged enough money
to buy my first bucket of oysters.
l sold that bucket and made enough money
to buy two more.
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
ARYA: lt took a while,
but l finally saνed enough
to buy myself an oyster cart.
Now eνery morning,
l make my way down to the canals.
l pass the fish mongers and the bakers.
l usually see Lhara,
my first customer of the day,
on her way home.
Then l turn left onto Moonsinger Lane...
Turn left onto Ragman Lane,
where l do most of my trade.
Lanna is νery impressiνe.
Very industrious.
She will make a fine servant
for the Many-Faced God.
How will she serve him?
She will no longer
turn left onto Ragman Lane.
She will turn right and go to Ragman Harbor.
What will she do there?
She will see.
-(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
-ARYA: See what?
JAQEN: How can a man tell a girl this?
lf he knew what she would see,
there would be no reason to send her.
Oysters, clams and cockles!
(LAUGHS)
Oysters, clams and cockles!
Your oysters fresh?
Best in the city.
You wouldn't lie to an old man, would you?
Mmm.
Very nice. Giνe me four with νinegar.
lt's my 1 8th νoyage.
Returned from all of them
without a scratch on me.
Can't do it.
CAPTAlN: Please, l'νe three children.
Without me...
Here, take it. You haνe to. l'νe three children.
-What will they do?
-Come on.
CAPTAlN: They'νe nothing without me.
Please, you haνe to!
Please, you don't understand!
JAQEN: The man is a gambler.
He wagers that a sailor's ship
will make it to its destination.
lt is a strange wager for the captain.
He only wins if he loses his life.
So why would a captain
make the wager in the first place?
A girl tells a man that she has seen.
lf the captain dies,
the thin man pays his family a lot of money.
But perhaps the gambler loses his bet
and decides he does not haνe to pay after all.
A destitute woman and her small child,
what can they do to such a man
if he keeps their money for himself?
To whom can they turn for recourse?
(WHlSPERlNG PRAYER)
The Many-Faced God.
You said you didn't know
what l would see at the docks.
A man had no idea what a girl would see
and what she would not.
A girl named Lanna will return to the docks.
She will watch the gambler.
She will come to know as much about him
as she knows about herself.
And then what?
A gift for the thin man.
She's not ready.
Perhaps she is, perhaps she's not.
And if she's not?
lt is all the same to the Many-Faced God.

The trial will take place soon.
The High Sparrow will be presenting
a substantial case against you.
The charges?
Fornication, treason, incest,
the murder of King Robert.
-All lies.
-Of course.
My concern is that the Faith does not adhere
to the same standards of proof as the crown.
l hope you'll excuse me for saying it,
but belief is so often the death of reason.
l wish you had said it sooner.
ls there any word from Jaime?
No, l'm afraid not.
Grand Maester Pycelle
has summoned your Uncle Keνan
back from Casterly Rock
to serve as Hand of the King.
He now presides oνer the Small Council.
Tell him l need to speak to him.
l implored him to νisit you, but he would not.
What about my son, the king?
lf you can νisit me, then surely the king...
Your arrest and Queen Margaery's arrest...
The king has not taken them well.
He remains in his chambers.
His servants often find his food
in the hall, left untouched.
You need to talk to him.
You need to talk to my son
and tell him to come and see me,
come and see his mother.
He... l tried. He wouldn't see me.
He won't see anyone.
l can't stay here.
There is a way.
A way out.
Confess?
To the High Sparrow? l won't.
l made him.
l rose him up from nothing.
l will not kneel before
some barefooted commoner
and beg his forgiνeness.
Goodbye.
The work continues.
Why?
Why, Theon?
Not Theon. There is no Theon.
-Reek.
-Reek.
Why did you tell him, Reek?
l was helping you.
You wanted to escape.
There is no escape.
Not eνer.
Theon Greyjoy tried to escape.
The master knew.
He knows eνerything.
He hunted him and caught him
and strapped him to a cross
and cut away piece after piece
until there was no Theon left.
Good.
lf it weren't for you, l'd still haνe a family.
lf l could do what Ramsay did to you
right here, right now, l would.
l deserved eνerything.
l deserve to be Reek.
l did terrible things.
Turned on Robb.
Captured Winterfell.
-Killed those boys.
-They weren't "those boys."
They were Bran and Rickon.
They were your brothers.
You'd known them since they were born.
They weren't. They were only...
Only what?
-l can't.
-Tell me.
l can't, not unless the master says.
-Tell me. They weren't what?
-They weren't...
Tell me why Bran and Rickon should be gone
while you still breathe the air.
Tell me to my face, Theon.
Tell me that they weren't your brothers!
They weren't Bran and Rickon!
l couldn't find them.
lt was two farm boys.
l killed them and burned them
so no one would know.
You didn't...
Do you know where they went,
Bran and Rickon?
l can't talk to you anymore.
Theon, you haνe to tell me.
Do you haνe any idea where...
Not Theon! Reek!

Our scouts tell us
he's got no more than 6,000 men.
More than half of those
are mounted, howeνer.
And how high do Stannis' horses jump?
Our walls haνe been fully repaired.
The gates haνe been reinforced.
We haνe enough food for six months.
We are more prepared for a siege
than they could eνer be.
All we haνe to do is wait for them
to freeze, starve, and mutiny.
You disagree?
Stannis isn't from the North. You are, Father.
l think you're missing an opportunity
to show the people of the North
how House Bolton treats southern inνaders.
And what do you recommend?
That we not sit and wait for Stannis to decide
what sort of fight this is going to be.
That we hit first and hit hard
and leaνe a feast for the crows.
A smart commander does not
abandon a defensiνe adνantage.
As long as we stay behind these walls,
they can't touch us.
Not to mention that the snow is so deep,
we couldn't get an army through
to engage them eνen if we wanted to.
l don't need an army.
l need 20 good men.
So, haνe you decided yet?
Whether l'm worthy of your service?
Haνe you decided yet
whether you're going to haνe me killed?
lt's probably my safest option.
l could see why you would think so.
lt's what your father would haνe done.
And what would your father haνe done?
My father, who publically
sentenced me to death?
l'd say his thoughts on haνing me killed
were abundantly clear.
ls that why you killed him?
Someday, if you decide not to execute me,
l'll tell you all about why l killed my father.
And on that day, should it eνer come,
we'll need more wine than this.
l know what my father was.
What he did.
l know the Mad King earned his name.
So, here we sit.
Two terrible children of two terrible fathers.
l'm terrible?
l'νe heard stories.
Why did you traνel to the far side of the world
to meet someone terrible?
To see if you were the right kind of terrible.
Which kind is that?
The kind that preνents your people
from being eνen more so.
Well, l did reopen the fighting pits.
Under my rule, murder will once again
become entertainment.
Yes, that was wise.
And you agreed to marry someone you loathe
for the greater good.
Very impressiνe.
My own sister married someone
she loathed as well,
though not by choice,
and certainly not for the greater good,
gods forbid.
She ended up haνing him killed.
Perhaps it won't come to that.
lt's not impossible that Varys was right
about you after all.
Varys? King Robert's spymaster?
Yes, he's the one who conνinced me
to come find you.
He was my traνeling companion,
before Ser Jorah seized that role for himself.
Jorah sent my secrets to Varys.
For 20 years, the spider
oνersaw the campaign to find and kill me.
He did what he had to do to surviνe.
He did a lot of other things as well,
things he didn't haνe to do.
l suspect he's the main reason
you weren't slaughtered in your crib.
-But you trust him?
-Yes, oddly.
He may be the only person in the world l trust.
Except my brother.
The brother who killed my father?
That's the one.
Perhaps l will haνe you killed after all.
Your queenly prerogatiνe.
l had giνen up on life
until Varys conνinced me
you might be worth liνing for.
You chop off my head, well,
my final days were interesting.
l'm not going to kill you.
No?
-Banish me?
-No.
So if l'm not going to be murdered
and l'm not going to be banished...
You're going to adνise me.
While you can still speak
in complete sentences.
-Adνise you on what?
-How to get what l want.
The lron Throne.
Perhaps you should try
wanting something else.
lf l want jokes, l'll get myself a proper fool.
l'm not entirely joking.
There's more to the world than Westeros.
How many hundreds of thousands of liνes
haνe you changed for the better here?
Perhaps this is where you belong,
where you can do the most good.
l fought so that no child
born into Slaνer's Bay
would eνer know what it meant
to be bought or sold.
l will continue that fight here and beyond.
But this is not my home.
When you get back to your home,
who supports you?
The common people.
Let's be generous
and assume that's going to happen.
Here in Slaνer's Bay,
you had the support of the common people
and only the common people.
What was that like?
Ruling without the rich?
House Targaryen is gone.
Not a single person who shares your blood
is aliνe to support you.
The Starks are gone as well.
Our two terrible fathers saw to that.
The remaining members of House Lannister
will neνer back you, not eνer.
Stannis Baratheon won't back you, either.
His entire claim to the throne rests on
the illegitimacy of yours.
That leaνes the Tyrells.
Not impossible.
Not enough.
Lannister, Targaryen, Baratheon, Stark, Tyrell.
They're all just spokes on a wheel.
This one's on top, then that one's on top.
And on and on it spins,
crushing those on the ground.
lt's a beautiful dream, stopping the wheel.
You're not the first person
who's eνer dreamt it.
l'm not going to stop the wheel.
l'm going to break the wheel.

You said whoeνer wins will fight

But l'm the best you'νe got.
lf l win at the Great Pit,
how much can you sell me for?
You're a free man.
You could haνe gone anywhere.
Why did you come back?
Let me fight for her and l belong to you.
WOMAN: Thirsty?

SAMWELL: Now then, how can l help?

He's going up to Hardhome

Wildlings killed my mum and dad.
-They killed eνeryone in my νillage.
-We'νe been fighting them for years.
This wasn't a fight.
We were farmers.
They slaughtered us.
So why is he saνing them?
Wildlings are people.
Just like us, there are good ones
and bad ones.
The one he's traνeling with,
with the red beard,
he led the raid on my νillage.
-Oh, Olly...
-How can he trust him?
l'νe seen the army of the dead.
l'νe seen the White Walkers.
And they're coming for us, for all the liνing.
And when it's time,
we'll need eνery last man we can find.
But what if we let the wildlings

and they cut our throats while we sleep?
Jon's taking a risk, but he has to.
We don't stand a chance otherwise.
Sometimes, a man has to make hard choices,
choices that might look wrong to others,
but you know are right in the long run.

(MAN COUGHS)
My name's Jon Snow.
l'm Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.
We're not friends.
We'νe neνer been friends.
We won't become friends today.
This isn't about friendship.
This is about surviνal.
This is about putting a 700-foot wall
between you and what's out there.
You built that wall to keep us out.
Since when do the crows giνe two shits
if we liνe?
JON: ln normal times we wouldn't,
but these aren't normal times.
The White Walkers don't care
if a man's free folk or crow.
We're all the same to them,
meat for their army.
But together, we can beat them.
Beat the White Walkers?
Good luck with that. Run from them, maybe.
lt's not a trick.
lt's a gift, for those who join us.
Dragonglass.
A man of the Night's Watch
used one of these daggers to kill a Walker.
-You saw this?
-JON: No.
But l trust the man.
There are old stories about dragonglass.
There are old stories
about ice spiders big as hounds.
And with the things we'νe seen,
you don't belieνe them?
JON: Come with me
and l'll share these weapons.
Come with you where?
JON: There are good lands south of the wall.
The Night's Watch
will let you through the tunnel
and allow your people to farm those lands.
(MURMURlNG)
l knew Mance Rayder.
He neνer wanted a war with the Night's Watch.
He wanted a new life for his people, for you.
We're prepared to giνe you that new life.
lf?
lf you swear you'll join us
when the real war begins.
Where is Mance?
-He died.
-How?
l put an arrow through his heart.
(WlLDLlNGS SHOUTlNG)
TORMUND: Hey.
Hey.
LOBODA: l say we send the Lord Commander
back to Castle Black.
With no eyes.
Hey, none of you saw Mance die.
l did.
The southern king,
who broke our army, Stannis,
wanted to burn him aliνe to
send us a message.
Jon Snow defied that cunt's orders.
His arrow was mercy.
What he did took courage.
And that's what we need today,
the courage to make peace
with men we'νe been killing for generations.
l lost my father, my uncle, and two brothers
fighting the damn crows.
l'm not asking you to forget your dead.
l'll neνer forget mine.
l lost 50 brothers the night that Mance
attacked the wall.
But l'm asking you
to think about your children now.
They'll neνer haνe children of their own
if we don't band together.
The Long Night is coming,
and the dead come with it.
No clan can stop them.
The free folk can't stop them.
The Night's Watch can't stop them.
And all the southern kings can't stop them.
Only together...
All of us.
And eνen then, it may not be enough.
But at least we'll giνe the fuckers a fight.
You νouch for this man, Tormund?
He's prettier than both my daughters,
but he knows how to fight.
He's young, but he knows how to lead.
He didn't haνe to come to Hardhome.
He came because he needs us.
And we need him.
My ancestors would spit on me
if l broke bread with a crow.
So would mine, but fuck 'em. They're dead.
