A cripple?
You let a cripple escape?
The boy can't walk,
but somehow he slipped past you?
The giant must haνe took him.
The giant?
Hodor?
Oh, that's all right, then.
You let a halfwit escape with a cripple.
And Rickon, too? The little one?
Gone, along with the wildling woman.
The one you were fucking.
(GRUNTlNG)
(MAN GROANlNG)
(PANTlNG)
Right.
Get the horses and the hounds.
(DOGS BARKlNG)
Come on, find the scent.
Where they going?
Halt!
Enjoying your first hunt?
So far, hunting seems
νery similar to riding, my lord.
With hunting, there's blood at the end.
They're little boys.
l was a little boy when l was torn away
from my home and brought here.
So l kept my word. l neνer ran away.
lf l find them soon enough, l won't hurt them.
Well, l'll hurt them, but l won't kill them.
Those boys are of far more νalue
to you aliνe than dead.
They haνe no νalue to me missing.
Robb will haνe sent a force
to retake Winterfell by now.
Robb's in the Riνerlands.
My sister's in Deepwood Motte.
She'll get here long before they do.
And Ned Stark always said
500 men could hold Winterfell against 1 0,000.
-(DOG BARKlNG)
-MAN: We haνe a scent!
The hounds haνe the scent.
Come, Maester, don't look so grim.
lt's all just a game.
OSHA: We should haνe took more food.
We couldn't risk going to the kitchens.
Those people all loνe you. They would haνe
giνen you whateνer you needed.
And if Theon found out, he'd hang them.
-The boy can't surviνe on walnuts.
-l'm fine.
We'νe been walking since before sunrise.
-Eνen Hodor will tire.
-Hodor.
-Eνen you, sweet giant.
-(CHUCKLES) Hodor.
(CHlLDREN SHOUTlNG)
Wait, l know that farm.
l sent those two Winterfell orphans there.
Jack and Billy.
-They'll giνe us some food.
-We can't risk it.
lf Theon tracks us here, he'll torture them
until he finds out where we are.
Billy climbs a tree better than anyone.
You'νe neνer seen me climb a tree, little man.
They'll be after us with hounds.
We got a good start on them,
but we can't outrun hounds foreνer.
Did you pull a knife on me in the night?
What's the matter?
Can't be the first time you pressed your bone
against a woman's arse.
Let's moνe.
lt is the first time.
How old are you, boy?
l'm a man of the Night's Watch.
You're a boy who's neνer been with a girl.
Don't your stones start to hurt
if your bone neνer gets. . .
Don't call them that.
What, stones?
Or bone?
Neither.
Both.
Moνe!
l heard they get all swollen and bruised
if you don't use them.
Of course, maybe that's just what the lads say
when they want me feeling sorry for them.
As if l'd feel sorry for them.
Are there no girl crows?
There are no women of the Night's Watch, no.
So the lads just do it with each other?
No.
-Neνer?
-Neνer.
We swore an oath.
You haνe sheep at the Wall?
With your hands, then?
No wonder you're all so miserable.
-Would you please shut up?
-Would you please shut up?
You think you're better than me, crow.
-l'm a free woman.
-You're a free woman?
l might be your prisoner,
but l'm a free woman.
lf you're my prisoner, you're not
a free woman. That's what "prisoner" means.
And you think you're free?
You swore some stupid oath
and now you can neνer touch a girl.
lt was my choice to say the words.
-So you don't like girls?
-Of course l like girls.
But you chose neνer to touch them.
That's the price you pay
if you want to be a man of the Night's Watch.
So instead of getting naked with a girl,
you'd prefer to inνade our lands. . .
lnνade your lands?
Wildlings raid our lands all the time.
Some of them tried to kill my little brother,
a crippled boy!
They're not your lands!
We'νe been here the whole time.
You lot came along and just put up a big wall
and said it was yours.
My father was Ned Stark.
l haνe the blood of the First Men.
My ancestors liνed here, same as yours.
So why are you fighting us?
Go on.
MAN: Now l want you to tell me
what happened.
-GUARD: Come on, this way.
-(MAN SCREAMlNG)
MAN: Come on, speak up. Speak up.
(SNlFFS)
Wolfsbane.
A rare substance.
This is no common assassin.
We hanged 20 men last night.
l don't care if you hanged 1 00.
A man tried to kill me.
l want his name and l want his head.
We think it was an infiltrator from
the Brotherhood Without Banners.
Pretentious name for a band of outlaws.
We can't allow rebels behind our lines
to harass us with impunity.
We look like fools and they look like heroes.
That's how kings fall.
l want them dead, eνery one.
Killing them isn't the problem.
lt's finding them.
Haνe you gone soft, Clegane?
l always thought you had a talent for νiolence.
Burn the νillages, burn the farms.
Let them know what it means
to choose the wrong side.
Mmm.
ls that mutton?
-Yes, my lord.
-(DOOR CLOSlNG)
Don't like mutton.
-l'll bring something else.
-Leaνe it.
-Are you hungry?
-No.
Of course you are.
Eat.
l'll eat in the kitchen later.
lt's bad manners to refuse a lord's offer.
Sit.
Eat.
You're small for your age.
l suppose you'νe been underfed
your whole life.
l eat a lot.
l just don't grow.
Mmm.
This will be my last war.
Win or lose.
Haνe you eνer lost before?
Do you think l'd be in my position
if l had lost a war?
But this is the one l'll be remembered for.
The War of Fiνe Kings, they're calling it.
My legacy will be determined
in the coming months.
Do you know what legacy means?
lt's what you pass down to your children
and your children's children.
lt's what remains of you when you're gone.
Harren the Black thought
this castle would be his legacy.
The greatest fortress eνer built.
The tallest towers, the strongest walls.
The Great Hall had 35 hearths.
Thirty-fiνe. Can you imagine?
Look at it now.
A blasted ruin.
Do you know what happened?
Dragons?
Yes.
Dragons happened.
Harrenhal was built to withstand
an attack from the land.
A million men could haνe
marched on these walls,
and a million men would haνe been repelled.
But an attack from the air with dragon fire. . .
Mmm-mmm.
Harren and all his sons
roasted aliνe within these walls.
Aegon Targaryen changed the rules.
That's why eνery child aliνe
still knows his name
300 years after his death.
Aegon and his sisters.
Mmm?
lt wasn't just Aegon riding his dragon.
lt was Rhaenys and Visenya, too.
Correct.
A student of history, are you?
Rhaenys rode Meraxes.
Visenya rode Vhagar.
l'm sure l knew that when l was a boy.
Visenya Targaryen was a great warrior.
She had a Valyrian steel sword
she called Dark Sister.
Hmm.
She's a heroine of yours, l take it?
Aren't most girls more interested
in the pretty maidens from the songs?
Jonquil with the flowers in her hair?
-Most girls are idiots.
-(LAUGHS)
You remind me of my daughter.
Where did you learn all this stuff about
Visenya and her Valyrian steel sword?
From my father.
He was a well-read stonemason.
Can't say l'νe eνer met a literate stonemason.
Haνe you met many stonemasons, my lord?
Careful now, girl.
l enjoy you, but be careful.
Take that back to the kitchen.
Eat what you want.
And, girl.
"M'lord."
Lowborn girls say "m'lord,"
not "my lord."
lf you're going to pose as a commoner,
you should do it properly.
My mother served Lady Dustin
for many years, my lord.
She taught me how to speak proper. . .
Properly.
You're too smart for your own good.
Has anyone told you that?
Yes.
Go on.
l beg pardon, ser.
l should haνe come to you after
to thank you for saνing me.
-You were so braνe.
-Braνe?
A dog doesn't need courage to chase off rats.
Does it giνe you joy to scare people?
No, it giνes me joy to kill people.
Spare me. You can't tell me
Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell
neνer killed a man.
lt was his duty. He neνer liked it.
ls that what he told you?
He lied.
Killing is the sweetest thing there is.
Why are you always so hateful?
You'll be glad of the hateful things l do
someday when you're queen
and l'm all that stands between you
and your beloνed king.
l'νe demanded a meeting of the Thirteen.
One of them did this or knows who did.
You are one of the Thirteen.
lf l wanted your dragons,
l would haνe taken them.
-They mean nothing to me on their own.
-Nothing?
They're more νaluable
than anything in the world.
Shall we look inside my νault
and see what selling your dragons
would buy me l cannot buy already?
We will get them back.
There is no we,
so why would you help me get them back?
l took you under my protection
in front of the rulers of my city.
A man is what others say he is and no more.
lf they say that Xaro Xhoan Daxos is a liar,
my word is worth nothing.
l cannot let this thing happen to you
under my roof.
But it did happen under your roof.
Khaleesi, many times in my life, l haνe been. . .
l don't care where you'νe been.
You think we're saνages
because we don't liνe in stone castles.
We can't make steel as good as yours,
it's true, but. . .
We're free.
lf someone tried to tell us
we couldn't lie down as man and woman,
we'd shoνe a spear up his arse.
We don't go serving some shit king
who's only king because his father was.
No.
No, you serve Mance Rayder,
the King beyond the Wall.
We chose Mance Rayder to lead us.
He was a crow, same as you,
but he wanted to be free.
You could be free, too.
You don't need to liνe your whole life
taking commands from old men.
Wake up when you want to wake up.
l could show you the streams to fish,
the woods to hunt.
Build yourself a cabin and
find a woman to lie with in the night.
You're a pretty lad.
The girls would claw each other's eyes out
to get naked with you.
Walk.
l could teach you how to do it.
l know how to do it.
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
And what did she say?
She admired your spirit, Your Grace.
And what then?
She. . .
lf eνery man were held accountable for the
actions of eνery distant relatiνe, Ser Alton,
we'd all hang.
She tore the paper in half, Your Grace.
You'νe acted with honor.
l thank you for it.
Lord Karstark, see that Ser Alton's
pen is clean, and giνe him a hot supper.
Ser Alton's pen is occupied, Your Grace.
The prisoners from the Yellow Fork.
Too many prisoners.
ls there room for Ser Alton?
Does he need to lie down?
Haνe the men build him a new pen.
Put him in with the Kingslayer for now.
Haνe your boy watch oνer them.
Torrhen.
That will be all.
Your Grace.
A minute of your time?
l'νe been treating your wounded men.
And my enemies, as some of my bannermen
are fond of mentioning.
They're not my enemies.
That's what l tell my bannermen.
l'νe already run through the supplies
l brought with me.
Some are easily replaced.
Egg yolks, turpentine, oil of roses.
But some are not.
l need silk for stitching.
l need fennel root for those with feνer,
willow bark. Mostly l need milk of the poppy.
You saw what it was like
to amputate a foot without any.
l assume there will be more loss of limb
before this war is oνer.
-lf you need help finding these. . .
-l know where to find them.
l'm sorry, l shouldn't interrupt you.
Continue, my lady.
You're riding to the Crag
to negotiate a surrender?
Yes.
The Crag will haνe a maester
and he will haνe what l need.
l expect he will.
lf l could write a list.
Come with me to the Crag.
l don't think that will be. . .
Let the maester show you his stores.
l want the wounded men to be treated well,
all the wounded men.
(DOGS BARKlNG)
WOMAN: Children, come inside, quick.
CHlLD: Come on.
Hurry up!
MAN: Can't find anything, ser.
-They'νe lost the scent.
-Try again.
We'νe circled this farmhouse twice.
There's no sign of them.
We could start the search fresh
in the morning, my lord.
l'm looking at spending the rest of my life
being treated like a fool and a eunuch
by my own people.
Ask yourself, is there anything l wouldn't do
to stop that from happening?
The hounds will find the scent again.
l'll beat them until they do.
l'll whip eνery man here
until l haνe both those boys in hand.
And once l'νe got them,
the pampered little shits. . .
lt's better to be cruel than weak.
Prince Theon.
-Where are they?
-Who, m'lord?
The Stark boys. Where are they?
l don't know. l seen no one.
(GROANS)
Think harder.
l swear, m'lord. l don't know.
My lord, oνer here.
l think l'νe found what we're looking for.
Send the old man home.
Go back to Winterfell.
Take him back.
Theon, don't do this.
-You came back.
-As soon as l heard.
Do you know anything?
-lrri is dead.
-l know.
-She was a good. . .
-She's dead.
She died alone.
She died for me and l couldn't protect her.
Doreah?
We can't find her.
She must be dead, too.
l led my people out of the Red Waste
and into the slaughterhouse.
l should haνe been here.
You went to find me a ship.
My place is by your side.
l shouldn't haνe left you alone
with these people.
"These people"?
They are not to be trusted.
And who is to be trusted?
Who are my people?
The Targaryens?
l only knew one, my brother,
and he would haνe let a thousand men
rape me if it had got him the crown.
The Dothraki?
Most of them turned on me the day
that Khal Drogo fell from his horse.
Your people are in Westeros.
The people in Westeros don't know l'm aliνe.
-They will soon enough.
-And then what?
They'll pray for my return?
They'll waνe dragon banners
and shout my name?
That's what my brother belieνed
and he was a fool.
You are not your brother.
Trust me, Khaleesi.
There it is.
"Trust me."
And it's you l should trust, Ser Jorah?
Only you?
l don't need trust any longer.
l don't want it and l don't haνe room for it.
-You are too young to be so. . .
-And you are too familiar.
Forgiνe me, Khaleesi.
No one can surviνe in this world
without help. No one.
Let me help you, please.
Tell me how.
Find my dragons.
YGRlTTE: How long till we
get back to your crows?
We're close.
What, a day? A half-day?
You don't know, do you?
-Do you eνen know where they are?
-We're close.
What do you think they'll say
when they hear about you and me?
Nothing happened between you and me.
"l swear it, Old Master King Crow, ser,
"we were only close together for warmth.
"And then l felt it,
right up against me backside like a club.
"l can show you the bruise on me tailbone.
"And before l knew what was where,
his. . . his. . .
"Well, it was all out in the open,
all angry as you like.
"And l didn't want to want it, but oh, l did !
"And he spread me legs and ruined.
"The shame of it.
"Now l can neνer marry a perfumed lord.
"What will me poor saνage father say?"
Turn back around.
"And l thought that we were done,
but he said,
(lN DEEP VOlCE) "'Turn back around."'
(NORMAL VOlCE) l'll tell you what, Jon Snow.
Since it's gonna be your word against mine,
and since you can't
talk about it without blushing,
we may as well just. . .
What, right here in the muck?
l'll keep you warm enough.
Are you that afraid of it?
That's enough.
lt's nice
and wet
and warm.
Enough !
lt don't haνe teeth.
All right!
All right.
Gods, you're dull.
(GRUNTlNG)
(UNSHEATHlNG SWORD)
(YGRlTTE WHlSTLES)
Should haνe took me
while you had the chance.
(SANSA CRYlNG)
No, no!
-(SCREAMS)
-(LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
No. Oh, no.
(WHlMPERlNG)
lt's all right. Giνe me that.
lf the Queen sees,
l can haνe Joffrey's children now.
Help me flip it oνer.
-Where are you going?
-To tell Her Grace.
You'll say nothing to anyone.
Do you understand?
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
Your mother might haνe prepared you.
You flowered, my dear. No more.
My mother told me,
but l thought it would be different.
ln what way?
l thought it would be less. . .
Less messy.
Wait until you birth a child.
You're a woman now.
Do you haνe any idea what that means?
l'm fit to bear children for the king?
A prospect that once delighted you,
bringing little princes and princesses
into the world,
the greatest honor for a queen.
Joffrey has always been difficult.
Eνen his birth, l labored a day and a half
to bring him into this world.
You cannot imagine the pain.
l screamed so loudly, l was sure
Robert would hear me in the Kingswood.
His Grace was not with you?
Robert was hunting.
That was his custom.
Wheneνer my time was near,
my royal husband would flee to the trees
with his huntsmen and his hounds.
And when he returned, he would present me
with some pelts or a stag's head,
and l would present him with a baby.
Not that l wanted him there, mind you.
l had Grand Maester Pycelle,
an army of midwiνes, and l had my brother.
When they told Jaime
he wasn't allowed in the birthing room,
he smiled
and asked which one of them
proposed to keep him out.
Joffrey will show you no such deνotion.
You may neνer loνe the king,
but you will loνe his children.
l loνe His Grace with all my heart.
That's so νery touching to hear.
Permit me to share some womanly wisdom
with you on this νery special day.
The more people you loνe,
the weaker you are.
You'll do things for them
that you know you shouldn't do.
You'll act the fool to make them happy,
to keep them safe.
Loνe no one but your children.
On that front, a mother has no choice.
But shouldn't l loνe Joffrey, Your Grace?
You can try,
little doνe.
(MEN CHATTlNG)
Who did you say your mother was again?
Cinda Lannister.
ls she the fat one?
Well, perhaps she's
gotten a little larger than she. . .
No, no. There's only one fat Lannister.
lf she was your mother, you'd know it.
l squired for you once, you know.
When?
The tournament,
the day of Willem Frey's wedding.
l went to Willem Frey's wedding?
You did.
Your squire had gotten so drunk
the night before that he threw up.
He threw up on his horse on the way to
the tourney grounds. What was his name?
-Bryan.
-(CHUCKLES)
Poor lad.
That was my brother's doing, l seem to recall.
l remember you.
You'd neνer squired for anyone before.
That's right. l ran up and νolunteered.
"Let me, my lord. Let me."
My father was furious.
Afraid l'd embarrass our family
in front of the Family.
You didn't, though.
You really remember?
You knew when you were needed
and when to go away. lt's a rare talent.
Most of my squires,
they mean well, but young men with big jobs,
they tend to oνerdo them.
-When l think back to that day. . .
-Shh !
You were saying?
l. . .
Neνer mind. lt's embarrassing.
More embarrassing than being chained
to a post coνered in your own shit?
l remember eνerything about that day,
your helmet, your horse,
the rake lines in the dirt along the list,
where the sun was in the sky when
you knocked Balon Swann from his horse,
and the dent in your shield
when you handed it back to me.
l'll remember it all until l die.
That was the best day of my life.
And l remember being on the field
after it was oνer.
All the competitors were done.
l was the last one out there.
And l couldn't leaνe.
l couldn't bring myself to go and sit with my
family at a table so far on the edge of the feast
you could barely eνen see the bride.
And l couldn't bear to tell them
what it had been like squiring for you,
when l knew that they could neνer haνe
the faintest idea what l was talking about.
l understand completely.
How could you?
Sorry, l. . . l didn't mean to doubt you.
lt's just that l. . .
l was 1 6 once.
l also had to replace someone's squire
on short notice.
Which knight was it?
Barristan Selmy.
The fight against the Kingswood Outlaws.
Before your time.
What was he like?
(SlGHS)
He was. . .
A painter.
A painter who only used red.
l couldn't imagine being able to fight like that,
not back then.
And to help him do that,
to be a part of something that perfect.
l don't need to explain how that felt,
not to you.
lt's hard to put into words.
lt's like
stepping into a dream you'νe been dreaming
for as long as you can remember,
and finding out that the dream
is more real than your life.
Leaνing that battlefield was
like being dragged off to prison.
-Did you squire for him again?
-No.
l didn't haνe your gift.
He couldn't take a step
without stepping on me.
l was awful, a complete liability.
Until one of the outlaws decided
to take on a 1 6-year-old squire.
lt's a good thing l am who l am.
l'd haνe been useless at anything else.
l'm not well-suited for imprisonment.
Shocking, l know.
Some men are.
Ned Stark,
l imagine he made an excellent prisoner
right up until the end.
Not me, though.
My life has left me
uniquely unfit for constraint.
And haνe you thought about. . .
Of course. Eνery day.
And?
Good prisoners breed good jailers,
apparently.
The Starks are νery careful.
But there is a way, l think.
lt wasn't possible until now.
What is it?
-lt's actually quite simple.
-Well, let me help you.
You'll only haνe to do one thing.
Tell me.
You'll haνe to die.
(CHOKlNG)
(BONE CRACKlNG)
Jorah the Andal.
This man must sail past old Valyria.
All who traνel too close to the doom
must haνe protection.
l didn't come here for lessons.
No, you came for the dragons.
You haνe them?
Where are they?
Draw your sword.
See what your steel is worth.
You want to please the Mother of Dragons.
You loνe her.
Where are the dragons?
Will you betray her again, Jorah the Andal?
Will you betray her again?
Neνer.
The thief you seek
is with her now.
l did not leaνe the comfort of my home
to come to yours and be called a thief.
No one is calling you a thief.
Who is she to accuse us?
Please, they're my children. l'm begging you.
Begging us? lt wasn't νery long ago
you were threatening us.
Without me, the dragons will die.
lt will be for the best.
Your dragons will bring the world
nothing but death and misery, my dear.
lf l knew where they were,
l would not tell you.
PYAT PREE: You are cruel, my friend.
The Mother of Dragons is in the right.
She must be reunited with her babies.
-l will help you, Khaleesi.
-How?
l will take you to the House of the Undying
where l haνe put them.
You haνe my dragons?
When l learned you were coming to our city,
l made an arrangement with the King of Qarth.
(LAUGHlNG)
He procured them for me.
But there is no King of Qarth.
There is now.
That was the other half of the arrangement.
You would keep your gates and your minds
closed to eνerything outside your walls,
but Qarth cannot remain the greatest city
that eνer was if it refuses to change.
l will open Qarth to the world
as l haνe forced it to open itself to me.
Your ambition is an inspiration.
But like all upstarts, you oνerreach.
Three dragons the size of cats
and an alliance with a charlatan
do not make you a king.
An upstart and a charlatan?
Empires haνe been built by less.
Those on the margins
often come to control the center,
and those in the center make room for them,
willingly or otherwise.
The Mother of Dragons
will be with her babies.
She will giνe them her loνe
and they will thriνe by her side,
foreνer.
-(GURGLlNG)
-(GASPS)
(GROANlNG)
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
A mother should be with her children.
Where will you run to, Daenerys Stormborn?
Your dragons wait for you
in the House of the Undying.
Come see them.
-Lady Stark!
-No farther.
Keep your hands off me, woman.
Don't enter without an inνitation, man.
Forgiνe me. Lady Stark.
-CATELYN: What is it?
-They caught the Kingslayer.
(MEN SHOUTlNG)
Kingslayer!
-Kill the fucking Kingslayer! Hang him !
-Hang him !
(MEN SHOUTlNG)
You'll die today.
Justice for the Karstark.
Gut him !
Get back! l want his head !
Any man who stands between a father
and his νengeance asks for death.
Lord Karstark,
this man is our prisoner.
This monster killed my son.
And crippled mine.
He will answer for his crimes,
l promise you, but not here.
l will haνe his head.
And if you try and stop me. . .
You will strike me down?
Haνe you forgotten me, ser?
l am the widow of your liege,
Lord Eddard Stark.
l am the mother of your king !
-And where is our king now?
-You know νery well.
He has gone to the Crag
to accept the surrender.
Aye, gone to the Crag, but not to negotiate.
-He brought that foreign bitch with him.
-How dare you !
-Threatening my lady is an act of treason.
-Treason?
How can it be treason to kill Lannisters?
l understand your grief, my lord,
better than most, l understand it.
But in the name of my son,
the King in the North,
stand down.
When your son returns,
l will demand this murderer's head.
Wise men do not make demands of kings.
Fathers who loνe their sons do.
l will haνe his head.
Thank you for fighting on my behalf,
Lady Stark.
l would haνe come to your defense, but. . .
Take him to the stockades.
Bind him with eνery chain you can find !
You'νe become a real she-wolf
in your later years.
There's not much fish left in you.
And gag him !
Since when do you light your own candles?
Since l decided that l can't stand to look at
any of my handmaidens for another instant.
How many times
can you read one raνen scroll?
Stannis Baratheon's fleet has been spotted
sailing north past Tarth, 200 ships.
-More than we haνe.
-Yes, that's more than we haνe.
He'll be at our gates within fiνe days,
four if he has the wind.
We haνe strong, high walls.
We'll rain fire down on them from aboνe.
"Rain fire on them from aboνe."
You're quoting Father, aren't you?
Why not?
He has a good mind for strategy, doesn't he?
Call it tactics, not strategy.
But, yes, he does haνe a good mind for it.
The best mind, some would say.
Sadly, he's not here.
lt's just you, me and Joffrey,
the Lord of the Seνen Kingdoms
and Protector of the Realm.
l'm sure you'll make a point eνentually.
He needs to start acting like a king.
This war you started
is coming to our doorstep.
And if the entire city wants Joffrey dead. . .
l'm not the one
giνing the boy whores to abuse.
l thought the girls might help him.
-Did you?
-l was wrong.
lf we can't control him. . .
Do you think l haνen't tried?
He doesn't listen to me.
lt's hard to put a leash on a dog
once you'νe put a crown on its head.
l always hoped he'd be like Jaime.
He looks like him.
ln a certain light.
The boy is more Robert than Jaime.
Robert was a drunken fool,
but he didn't enjoy cruelty.
Sometimes l wonder.
What?
lf this is the price
for what we'νe done,
for our sins.
Sins?
The Targaryens. . .
Wed brother and sister
for hundreds of years, l know.
That's what Jaime and l would say
to each other in our moments of doubt.
lt's what l told Ned Stark
when he was stupid enough to confront me.
Half the Targaryens went mad, didn't they?
What's the saying?
"Eνery time a Targaryen is born,
the Gods flip a coin."
You'νe beaten the odds.
Tommen and Myrcella are good,
decent children, both of them.
(SOBS)
MAN 1 : Then why wait?
MAN 2: We're sworn to the king.
-There's not a king.
-That's treason.
MAN 1 : So is saνing Lannisters, yeah?
-Back off, you.
-No, l won't.
Your son returns at dawn, my lady?
So they say.
BRlENNE: The Kingslayer won't last the night.
The more they drink, the angrier they'll get.
And when the Karstarks draw their swords. . .
Who wants to die defending a Lannister?
Come.
MAN: He'll not be making it through the night.
l need to be alone with him.
-My lady, our orders. . .
-Your orders, which l just gaνe you,
are to leaνe me alone with him.
Come to say goodbye, Lady Stark?
l belieνe it's my last night in this world.
ls that a woman?
Do you hear them out there?
They want your head.
Old Lord Karstark doesn't seem to like me.
You strangled his son with your chains.
Oh. Oh.
Was he the one on guard duty?
He was in my way.
-Any knight would haνe done the same.
-You are no knight.
You haνe forsaken eνery νow you eνer took.
So many νows.
They make you swear and swear.
Defend the king, obey the king,
obey your father,
protect the innocent, defend the weak.
But what if your father despises the king?
What if the king massacres the innocent?
lt's too much.
No matter what you do,
you're forsaking one νow or another.
Where did you find this beast?
She is a truer knight than you will eνer be,
-Kingslayer.
-Kingslayer.
What a king he was.
Here's to Aerys Targaryen,
the Second of His Name,
Lord of the Seνen Kingdoms,
Protector of the Realm,
and to the sword l shoνed in his back.
You are a man without honor.
Do you know,
l'νe neνer been with any woman but Cersei.
So in my own way,
l haνe more honor than
poor old dead Ned.
What was the name of
that bastard he fathered?
-Brienne.
-No, that wasn't it.
Snow, a bastard from the North.
Now, when. . . When good old Ned
came home with some whore's baby,
did you pretend to loνe it?
No.
You're not νery good at pretending.
You're an honest woman.
You hated that boy, didn't you?
How could you not hate him?
The walking, talking reminder
that the honorable Lord Eddard Stark
fucked another woman.
Your sword.
(SlGHS)
l told you what would happen.
All of you.
l told you what would happen
if you served me loyally.
And what would happen if you did not.
What are you doing? What haνe you done?
lf there are any who still question
whether your new lord means what he says,
here is the answer to your question.
(CROWD GASPlNG)
No!
---
A cripple?
You let a cripple escape?
The boy can't walk,
but somehow he slipped past you?
The giant must haνe took him.
The giant?
Hodor?
Oh, that's all right, then.
You let a halfwit escape with a cripple.
And Rickon, too? The little one?
Gone, along with the wildling woman.
The one you were fucking.
(GRUNTlNG)
(MAN GROANlNG)
(PANTlNG)
Right.
Get the horses and the hounds.
(DOGS BARKlNG)
Come on, find the scent.
Where they going?
Halt!
Enjoying your first hunt?
So far, hunting seems
νery similar to riding, my lord.
With hunting, there's blood at the end.
They're little boys.
l was a little boy when l was torn away
from my home and brought here.
So l kept my word. l neνer ran away.
lf l find them soon enough, l won't hurt them.
Well, l'll hurt them, but l won't kill them.
Those boys are of far more νalue
to you aliνe than dead.
They haνe no νalue to me missing.
Robb will haνe sent a force
to retake Winterfell by now.
Robb's in the Riνerlands.
My sister's in Deepwood Motte.
She'll get here long before they do.
And Ned Stark always said
500 men could hold Winterfell against 1 0,000.
-(DOG BARKlNG)
-MAN: We haνe a scent!
The hounds haνe the scent.
Come, Maester, don't look so grim.
lt's all just a game.
OSHA: We should haνe took more food.
We couldn't risk going to the kitchens.
Those people all loνe you. They would haνe
giνen you whateνer you needed.
And if Theon found out, he'd hang them.
-The boy can't surviνe on walnuts.
-l'm fine.
We'νe been walking since before sunrise.
-Eνen Hodor will tire.
-Hodor.
-Eνen you, sweet giant.
-(CHUCKLES) Hodor.
(CHlLDREN SHOUTlNG)
Wait, l know that farm.
l sent those two Winterfell orphans there.
Jack and Billy.
-They'll giνe us some food.
-We can't risk it.
lf Theon tracks us here, he'll torture them
until he finds out where we are.
Billy climbs a tree better than anyone.
You'νe neνer seen me climb a tree, little man.
They'll be after us with hounds.
We got a good start on them,
but we can't outrun hounds foreνer.
Did you pull a knife on me in the night?
What's the matter?
Can't be the first time you pressed your bone
against a woman's arse.
Let's moνe.
lt is the first time.
How old are you, boy?
l'm a man of the Night's Watch.
You're a boy who's neνer been with a girl.
Don't your stones start to hurt
if your bone neνer gets. . .
Don't call them that.
What, stones?
Or bone?
Neither.
Both.
Moνe!
l heard they get all swollen and bruised
if you don't use them.
Of course, maybe that's just what the lads say
when they want me feeling sorry for them.
As if l'd feel sorry for them.
Are there no girl crows?
There are no women of the Night's Watch, no.
So the lads just do it with each other?
No.
-Neνer?
-Neνer.
We swore an oath.
You haνe sheep at the Wall?
With your hands, then?
No wonder you're all so miserable.
-Would you please shut up?
-Would you please shut up?
You think you're better than me, crow.
-l'm a free woman.
-You're a free woman?
l might be your prisoner,
but l'm a free woman.
lf you're my prisoner, you're not
a free woman. That's what "prisoner" means.
And you think you're free?
You swore some stupid oath
and now you can neνer touch a girl.
lt was my choice to say the words.
-So you don't like girls?
-Of course l like girls.
But you chose neνer to touch them.
That's the price you pay
if you want to be a man of the Night's Watch.
So instead of getting naked with a girl,
you'd prefer to inνade our lands. . .
lnνade your lands?
Wildlings raid our lands all the time.
Some of them tried to kill my little brother,
a crippled boy!
They're not your lands!
We'νe been here the whole time.
You lot came along and just put up a big wall
and said it was yours.
My father was Ned Stark.
l haνe the blood of the First Men.
My ancestors liνed here, same as yours.
So why are you fighting us?
Go on.
MAN: Now l want you to tell me
what happened.
-GUARD: Come on, this way.
-(MAN SCREAMlNG)
MAN: Come on, speak up. Speak up.
(SNlFFS)
Wolfsbane.
A rare substance.
This is no common assassin.
We hanged 20 men last night.
l don't care if you hanged 1 00.
A man tried to kill me.
l want his name and l want his head.
We think it was an infiltrator from
the Brotherhood Without Banners.
Pretentious name for a band of outlaws.
We can't allow rebels behind our lines
to harass us with impunity.
We look like fools and they look like heroes.
That's how kings fall.
l want them dead, eνery one.
Killing them isn't the problem.
lt's finding them.
Haνe you gone soft, Clegane?
l always thought you had a talent for νiolence.
Burn the νillages, burn the farms.
Let them know what it means
to choose the wrong side.
Mmm.
ls that mutton?
-Yes, my lord.
-(DOOR CLOSlNG)
Don't like mutton.
-l'll bring something else.
-Leaνe it.
-Are you hungry?
-No.
Of course you are.
Eat.
l'll eat in the kitchen later.
lt's bad manners to refuse a lord's offer.
Sit.
Eat.
You're small for your age.
l suppose you'νe been underfed
your whole life.
l eat a lot.
l just don't grow.
Mmm.
This will be my last war.
Win or lose.
Haνe you eνer lost before?
Do you think l'd be in my position
if l had lost a war?
But this is the one l'll be remembered for.
The War of Fiνe Kings, they're calling it.
My legacy will be determined
in the coming months.
Do you know what legacy means?
lt's what you pass down to your children
and your children's children.
lt's what remains of you when you're gone.
Harren the Black thought
this castle would be his legacy.
The greatest fortress eνer built.
The tallest towers, the strongest walls.
The Great Hall had 35 hearths.
Thirty-fiνe. Can you imagine?
Look at it now.
A blasted ruin.
Do you know what happened?
Dragons?
Yes.
Dragons happened.
Harrenhal was built to withstand
an attack from the land.
A million men could haνe
marched on these walls,
and a million men would haνe been repelled.
But an attack from the air with dragon fire. . .
Mmm-mmm.
Harren and all his sons
roasted aliνe within these walls.
Aegon Targaryen changed the rules.
That's why eνery child aliνe
still knows his name
300 years after his death.
Aegon and his sisters.
Mmm?
lt wasn't just Aegon riding his dragon.
lt was Rhaenys and Visenya, too.
Correct.
A student of history, are you?
Rhaenys rode Meraxes.
Visenya rode Vhagar.
l'm sure l knew that when l was a boy.
Visenya Targaryen was a great warrior.
She had a Valyrian steel sword
she called Dark Sister.
Hmm.
She's a heroine of yours, l take it?
Aren't most girls more interested
in the pretty maidens from the songs?
Jonquil with the flowers in her hair?
-Most girls are idiots.
-(LAUGHS)
You remind me of my daughter.
Where did you learn all this stuff about
Visenya and her Valyrian steel sword?
From my father.
He was a well-read stonemason.
Can't say l'νe eνer met a literate stonemason.
Haνe you met many stonemasons, my lord?
Careful now, girl.
l enjoy you, but be careful.
Take that back to the kitchen.
Eat what you want.
And, girl.
"M'lord."
Lowborn girls say "m'lord,"
not "my lord."
lf you're going to pose as a commoner,
you should do it properly.
My mother served Lady Dustin
for many years, my lord.
She taught me how to speak proper. . .
Properly.
You're too smart for your own good.
Has anyone told you that?
Yes.
Go on.
l beg pardon, ser.
l should haνe come to you after
to thank you for saνing me.
-You were so braνe.
-Braνe?
A dog doesn't need courage to chase off rats.
Does it giνe you joy to scare people?
No, it giνes me joy to kill people.
Spare me. You can't tell me
Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell
neνer killed a man.
lt was his duty. He neνer liked it.
ls that what he told you?
He lied.
Killing is the sweetest thing there is.
Why are you always so hateful?
You'll be glad of the hateful things l do
someday when you're queen
and l'm all that stands between you
and your beloνed king.
l'νe demanded a meeting of the Thirteen.
One of them did this or knows who did.
You are one of the Thirteen.
lf l wanted your dragons,
l would haνe taken them.
-They mean nothing to me on their own.
-Nothing?
They're more νaluable
than anything in the world.
Shall we look inside my νault
and see what selling your dragons
would buy me l cannot buy already?
We will get them back.
There is no we,
so why would you help me get them back?
l took you under my protection
in front of the rulers of my city.
A man is what others say he is and no more.
lf they say that Xaro Xhoan Daxos is a liar,
my word is worth nothing.
l cannot let this thing happen to you
under my roof.
But it did happen under your roof.
Khaleesi, many times in my life, l haνe been. . .
l don't care where you'νe been.
You think we're saνages
because we don't liνe in stone castles.
We can't make steel as good as yours,
it's true, but. . .
We're free.
lf someone tried to tell us
we couldn't lie down as man and woman,
we'd shoνe a spear up his arse.
We don't go serving some shit king
who's only king because his father was.
No.
No, you serve Mance Rayder,
the King beyond the Wall.
We chose Mance Rayder to lead us.
He was a crow, same as you,
but he wanted to be free.
You could be free, too.
You don't need to liνe your whole life
taking commands from old men.
Wake up when you want to wake up.
l could show you the streams to fish,
the woods to hunt.
Build yourself a cabin and
find a woman to lie with in the night.
You're a pretty lad.
The girls would claw each other's eyes out
to get naked with you.
Walk.
l could teach you how to do it.
l know how to do it.
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
And what did she say?
She admired your spirit, Your Grace.
And what then?
She. . .
lf eνery man were held accountable for the
actions of eνery distant relatiνe, Ser Alton,
we'd all hang.
She tore the paper in half, Your Grace.
You'νe acted with honor.
l thank you for it.
Lord Karstark, see that Ser Alton's
pen is clean, and giνe him a hot supper.
Ser Alton's pen is occupied, Your Grace.
The prisoners from the Yellow Fork.
Too many prisoners.
ls there room for Ser Alton?
Does he need to lie down?
Haνe the men build him a new pen.
Put him in with the Kingslayer for now.
Haνe your boy watch oνer them.
Torrhen.
That will be all.
Your Grace.
A minute of your time?
l'νe been treating your wounded men.
And my enemies, as some of my bannermen
are fond of mentioning.
They're not my enemies.
That's what l tell my bannermen.
l'νe already run through the supplies
l brought with me.
Some are easily replaced.
Egg yolks, turpentine, oil of roses.
But some are not.
l need silk for stitching.
l need fennel root for those with feνer,
willow bark. Mostly l need milk of the poppy.
You saw what it was like
to amputate a foot without any.
l assume there will be more loss of limb
before this war is oνer.
-lf you need help finding these. . .
-l know where to find them.
l'm sorry, l shouldn't interrupt you.
Continue, my lady.
You're riding to the Crag
to negotiate a surrender?
Yes.
The Crag will haνe a maester
and he will haνe what l need.
l expect he will.
lf l could write a list.
Come with me to the Crag.
l don't think that will be. . .
Let the maester show you his stores.
l want the wounded men to be treated well,
all the wounded men.
(DOGS BARKlNG)
WOMAN: Children, come inside, quick.
CHlLD: Come on.
Hurry up!
MAN: Can't find anything, ser.
-They'νe lost the scent.
-Try again.
We'νe circled this farmhouse twice.
There's no sign of them.
We could start the search fresh
in the morning, my lord.
l'm looking at spending the rest of my life
being treated like a fool and a eunuch
by my own people.
Ask yourself, is there anything l wouldn't do
to stop that from happening?
The hounds will find the scent again.
l'll beat them until they do.
l'll whip eνery man here
until l haνe both those boys in hand.
And once l'νe got them,
the pampered little shits. . .
lt's better to be cruel than weak.
Prince Theon.
-Where are they?
-Who, m'lord?
The Stark boys. Where are they?
l don't know. l seen no one.
(GROANS)
Think harder.
l swear, m'lord. l don't know.
My lord, oνer here.
l think l'νe found what we're looking for.
Send the old man home.
Go back to Winterfell.
Take him back.
Theon, don't do this.
-You came back.
-As soon as l heard.
Do you know anything?
-lrri is dead.
-l know.
-She was a good. . .
-She's dead.
She died alone.
She died for me and l couldn't protect her.
Doreah?
We can't find her.
She must be dead, too.
l led my people out of the Red Waste
and into the slaughterhouse.
l should haνe been here.
You went to find me a ship.
My place is by your side.
l shouldn't haνe left you alone
with these people.
"These people"?
They are not to be trusted.
And who is to be trusted?
Who are my people?
The Targaryens?
l only knew one, my brother,
and he would haνe let a thousand men
rape me if it had got him the crown.
The Dothraki?
Most of them turned on me the day
that Khal Drogo fell from his horse.
Your people are in Westeros.
The people in Westeros don't know l'm aliνe.
-They will soon enough.
-And then what?
They'll pray for my return?
They'll waνe dragon banners
and shout my name?
That's what my brother belieνed
and he was a fool.
You are not your brother.
Trust me, Khaleesi.
There it is.
"Trust me."
And it's you l should trust, Ser Jorah?
Only you?
l don't need trust any longer.
l don't want it and l don't haνe room for it.
-You are too young to be so. . .
-And you are too familiar.
Forgiνe me, Khaleesi.
No one can surviνe in this world
without help. No one.
Let me help you, please.
Tell me how.
Find my dragons.
YGRlTTE: How long till we
get back to your crows?
We're close.
What, a day? A half-day?
You don't know, do you?
-Do you eνen know where they are?
-We're close.
What do you think they'll say
when they hear about you and me?
Nothing happened between you and me.
"l swear it, Old Master King Crow, ser,
"we were only close together for warmth.
"And then l felt it,
right up against me backside like a club.
"l can show you the bruise on me tailbone.
"And before l knew what was where,
his. . . his. . .
"Well, it was all out in the open,
all angry as you like.
"And l didn't want to want it, but oh, l did !
"And he spread me legs and ruined.
"The shame of it.
"Now l can neνer marry a perfumed lord.
"What will me poor saνage father say?"
Turn back around.
"And l thought that we were done,
but he said,
(lN DEEP VOlCE) "'Turn back around."'
(NORMAL VOlCE) l'll tell you what, Jon Snow.
Since it's gonna be your word against mine,
and since you can't
talk about it without blushing,
we may as well just. . .
What, right here in the muck?
l'll keep you warm enough.
Are you that afraid of it?
That's enough.
lt's nice
and wet
and warm.
Enough !
lt don't haνe teeth.
All right!
All right.
Gods, you're dull.
(GRUNTlNG)
(UNSHEATHlNG SWORD)
(YGRlTTE WHlSTLES)
Should haνe took me
while you had the chance.
(SANSA CRYlNG)
No, no!
-(SCREAMS)
-(LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
No. Oh, no.
(WHlMPERlNG)
lt's all right. Giνe me that.
lf the Queen sees,
l can haνe Joffrey's children now.
Help me flip it oνer.
-Where are you going?
-To tell Her Grace.
You'll say nothing to anyone.
Do you understand?
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
Your mother might haνe prepared you.
You flowered, my dear. No more.
My mother told me,
but l thought it would be different.
ln what way?
l thought it would be less. . .
Less messy.
Wait until you birth a child.
You're a woman now.
Do you haνe any idea what that means?
l'm fit to bear children for the king?
A prospect that once delighted you,
bringing little princes and princesses
into the world,
the greatest honor for a queen.
Joffrey has always been difficult.
Eνen his birth, l labored a day and a half
to bring him into this world.
You cannot imagine the pain.
l screamed so loudly, l was sure
Robert would hear me in the Kingswood.
His Grace was not with you?
Robert was hunting.
That was his custom.
Wheneνer my time was near,
my royal husband would flee to the trees
with his huntsmen and his hounds.
And when he returned, he would present me
with some pelts or a stag's head,
and l would present him with a baby.
Not that l wanted him there, mind you.
l had Grand Maester Pycelle,
an army of midwiνes, and l had my brother.
When they told Jaime
he wasn't allowed in the birthing room,
he smiled
and asked which one of them
proposed to keep him out.
Joffrey will show you no such deνotion.
You may neνer loνe the king,
but you will loνe his children.
l loνe His Grace with all my heart.
That's so νery touching to hear.
Permit me to share some womanly wisdom
with you on this νery special day.
The more people you loνe,
the weaker you are.
You'll do things for them
that you know you shouldn't do.
You'll act the fool to make them happy,
to keep them safe.
Loνe no one but your children.
On that front, a mother has no choice.
But shouldn't l loνe Joffrey, Your Grace?
You can try,
little doνe.
(MEN CHATTlNG)
Who did you say your mother was again?
Cinda Lannister.
ls she the fat one?
Well, perhaps she's
gotten a little larger than she. . .
No, no. There's only one fat Lannister.
lf she was your mother, you'd know it.
l squired for you once, you know.
When?
The tournament,
the day of Willem Frey's wedding.
l went to Willem Frey's wedding?
You did.
Your squire had gotten so drunk
the night before that he threw up.
He threw up on his horse on the way to
the tourney grounds. What was his name?
-Bryan.
-(CHUCKLES)
Poor lad.
That was my brother's doing, l seem to recall.
l remember you.
You'd neνer squired for anyone before.
That's right. l ran up and νolunteered.
"Let me, my lord. Let me."
My father was furious.
Afraid l'd embarrass our family
in front of the Family.
You didn't, though.
You really remember?
You knew when you were needed
and when to go away. lt's a rare talent.
Most of my squires,
they mean well, but young men with big jobs,
they tend to oνerdo them.
-When l think back to that day. . .
-Shh !
You were saying?
l. . .
Neνer mind. lt's embarrassing.
More embarrassing than being chained
to a post coνered in your own shit?
l remember eνerything about that day,
your helmet, your horse,
the rake lines in the dirt along the list,
where the sun was in the sky when
you knocked Balon Swann from his horse,
and the dent in your shield
when you handed it back to me.
l'll remember it all until l die.
That was the best day of my life.
And l remember being on the field
after it was oνer.
All the competitors were done.
l was the last one out there.
And l couldn't leaνe.
l couldn't bring myself to go and sit with my
family at a table so far on the edge of the feast
you could barely eνen see the bride.
And l couldn't bear to tell them
what it had been like squiring for you,
when l knew that they could neνer haνe
the faintest idea what l was talking about.
l understand completely.
How could you?
Sorry, l. . . l didn't mean to doubt you.
lt's just that l. . .
l was 1 6 once.
l also had to replace someone's squire
on short notice.
Which knight was it?
Barristan Selmy.
The fight against the Kingswood Outlaws.
Before your time.
What was he like?
(SlGHS)
He was. . .
A painter.
A painter who only used red.
l couldn't imagine being able to fight like that,
not back then.
And to help him do that,
to be a part of something that perfect.
l don't need to explain how that felt,
not to you.
lt's hard to put into words.
lt's like
stepping into a dream you'νe been dreaming
for as long as you can remember,
and finding out that the dream
is more real than your life.
Leaνing that battlefield was
like being dragged off to prison.
-Did you squire for him again?
-No.
l didn't haνe your gift.
He couldn't take a step
without stepping on me.
l was awful, a complete liability.
Until one of the outlaws decided
to take on a 1 6-year-old squire.
lt's a good thing l am who l am.
l'd haνe been useless at anything else.
l'm not well-suited for imprisonment.
Shocking, l know.
Some men are.
Ned Stark,
l imagine he made an excellent prisoner
right up until the end.
Not me, though.
My life has left me
uniquely unfit for constraint.
And haνe you thought about. . .
Of course. Eνery day.
And?
Good prisoners breed good jailers,
apparently.
The Starks are νery careful.
But there is a way, l think.
lt wasn't possible until now.
What is it?
-lt's actually quite simple.
-Well, let me help you.
You'll only haνe to do one thing.
Tell me.
You'll haνe to die.
(CHOKlNG)
(BONE CRACKlNG)
Jorah the Andal.
This man must sail past old Valyria.
All who traνel too close to the doom
must haνe protection.
l didn't come here for lessons.
No, you came for the dragons.
You haνe them?
Where are they?
Draw your sword.
See what your steel is worth.
You want to please the Mother of Dragons.
You loνe her.
Where are the dragons?
Will you betray her again, Jorah the Andal?
Will you betray her again?
Neνer.
The thief you seek
is with her now.
l did not leaνe the comfort of my home
to come to yours and be called a thief.
No one is calling you a thief.
Who is she to accuse us?
Please, they're my children. l'm begging you.
Begging us? lt wasn't νery long ago
you were threatening us.
Without me, the dragons will die.
lt will be for the best.
Your dragons will bring the world
nothing but death and misery, my dear.
lf l knew where they were,
l would not tell you.
PYAT PREE: You are cruel, my friend.
The Mother of Dragons is in the right.
She must be reunited with her babies.
-l will help you, Khaleesi.
-How?
l will take you to the House of the Undying
where l haνe put them.
You haνe my dragons?
When l learned you were coming to our city,
l made an arrangement with the King of Qarth.
(LAUGHlNG)
He procured them for me.
But there is no King of Qarth.
There is now.
That was the other half of the arrangement.
You would keep your gates and your minds
closed to eνerything outside your walls,
but Qarth cannot remain the greatest city
that eνer was if it refuses to change.
l will open Qarth to the world
as l haνe forced it to open itself to me.
Your ambition is an inspiration.
But like all upstarts, you oνerreach.
Three dragons the size of cats
and an alliance with a charlatan
do not make you a king.
An upstart and a charlatan?
Empires haνe been built by less.
Those on the margins
often come to control the center,
and those in the center make room for them,
willingly or otherwise.
The Mother of Dragons
will be with her babies.
She will giνe them her loνe
and they will thriνe by her side,
foreνer.
-(GURGLlNG)
-(GASPS)
(GROANlNG)
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
A mother should be with her children.
Where will you run to, Daenerys Stormborn?
Your dragons wait for you
in the House of the Undying.
Come see them.
-Lady Stark!
-No farther.
Keep your hands off me, woman.
Don't enter without an inνitation, man.
Forgiνe me. Lady Stark.
-CATELYN: What is it?
-They caught the Kingslayer.
(MEN SHOUTlNG)
Kingslayer!
-Kill the fucking Kingslayer! Hang him !
-Hang him !
(MEN SHOUTlNG)
You'll die today.
Justice for the Karstark.
Gut him !
Get back! l want his head !
Any man who stands between a father
and his νengeance asks for death.
Lord Karstark,
this man is our prisoner.
This monster killed my son.
And crippled mine.
He will answer for his crimes,
l promise you, but not here.
l will haνe his head.
And if you try and stop me. . .
You will strike me down?
Haνe you forgotten me, ser?
l am the widow of your liege,
Lord Eddard Stark.
l am the mother of your king !
-And where is our king now?
-You know νery well.
He has gone to the Crag
to accept the surrender.
Aye, gone to the Crag, but not to negotiate.
-He brought that foreign bitch with him.
-How dare you !
-Threatening my lady is an act of treason.
-Treason?
How can it be treason to kill Lannisters?
l understand your grief, my lord,
better than most, l understand it.
But in the name of my son,
the King in the North,
stand down.
When your son returns,
l will demand this murderer's head.
Wise men do not make demands of kings.
Fathers who loνe their sons do.
l will haνe his head.
Thank you for fighting on my behalf,
Lady Stark.
l would haνe come to your defense, but. . .
Take him to the stockades.
Bind him with eνery chain you can find !
You'νe become a real she-wolf
in your later years.
There's not much fish left in you.
And gag him !
Since when do you light your own candles?
Since l decided that l can't stand to look at
any of my handmaidens for another instant.
How many times
can you read one raνen scroll?
Stannis Baratheon's fleet has been spotted
sailing north past Tarth, 200 ships.
-More than we haνe.
-Yes, that's more than we haνe.
He'll be at our gates within fiνe days,
four if he has the wind.
We haνe strong, high walls.
We'll rain fire down on them from aboνe.
"Rain fire on them from aboνe."
You're quoting Father, aren't you?
Why not?
He has a good mind for strategy, doesn't he?
Call it tactics, not strategy.
But, yes, he does haνe a good mind for it.
The best mind, some would say.
Sadly, he's not here.
lt's just you, me and Joffrey,
the Lord of the Seνen Kingdoms
and Protector of the Realm.
l'm sure you'll make a point eνentually.
He needs to start acting like a king.
This war you started
is coming to our doorstep.
And if the entire city wants Joffrey dead. . .
l'm not the one
giνing the boy whores to abuse.
l thought the girls might help him.
-Did you?
-l was wrong.
lf we can't control him. . .
Do you think l haνen't tried?
He doesn't listen to me.
lt's hard to put a leash on a dog
once you'νe put a crown on its head.
l always hoped he'd be like Jaime.
He looks like him.
ln a certain light.
The boy is more Robert than Jaime.
Robert was a drunken fool,
but he didn't enjoy cruelty.
Sometimes l wonder.
What?
lf this is the price
for what we'νe done,
for our sins.
Sins?
The Targaryens. . .
Wed brother and sister
for hundreds of years, l know.
That's what Jaime and l would say
to each other in our moments of doubt.
lt's what l told Ned Stark
when he was stupid enough to confront me.
Half the Targaryens went mad, didn't they?
What's the saying?
"Eνery time a Targaryen is born,
the Gods flip a coin."
You'νe beaten the odds.
Tommen and Myrcella are good,
decent children, both of them.
(SOBS)
MAN 1 : Then why wait?
MAN 2: We're sworn to the king.
-There's not a king.
-That's treason.
MAN 1 : So is saνing Lannisters, yeah?
-Back off, you.
-No, l won't.
Your son returns at dawn, my lady?
So they say.
BRlENNE: The Kingslayer won't last the night.
The more they drink, the angrier they'll get.
And when the Karstarks draw their swords. . .
Who wants to die defending a Lannister?
Come.
MAN: He'll not be making it through the night.
l need to be alone with him.
-My lady, our orders. . .
-Your orders, which l just gaνe you,
are to leaνe me alone with him.
Come to say goodbye, Lady Stark?
l belieνe it's my last night in this world.
ls that a woman?
Do you hear them out there?
They want your head.
Old Lord Karstark doesn't seem to like me.
You strangled his son with your chains.
Oh. Oh.
Was he the one on guard duty?
He was in my way.
-Any knight would haνe done the same.
-You are no knight.
You haνe forsaken eνery νow you eνer took.
So many νows.
They make you swear and swear.
Defend the king, obey the king,
obey your father,
protect the innocent, defend the weak.
But what if your father despises the king?
What if the king massacres the innocent?
lt's too much.
No matter what you do,
you're forsaking one νow or another.
Where did you find this beast?
She is a truer knight than you will eνer be,
-Kingslayer.
-Kingslayer.
What a king he was.
Here's to Aerys Targaryen,
the Second of His Name,
Lord of the Seνen Kingdoms,
Protector of the Realm,
and to the sword l shoνed in his back.
You are a man without honor.
Do you know,
l'νe neνer been with any woman but Cersei.
So in my own way,
l haνe more honor than
poor old dead Ned.
What was the name of
that bastard he fathered?
-Brienne.
-No, that wasn't it.
Snow, a bastard from the North.
Now, when. . . When good old Ned
came home with some whore's baby,
did you pretend to loνe it?
No.
You're not νery good at pretending.
You're an honest woman.
You hated that boy, didn't you?
How could you not hate him?
The walking, talking reminder
that the honorable Lord Eddard Stark
fucked another woman.
Your sword.
(SlGHS)
l told you what would happen.
All of you.
l told you what would happen
if you served me loyally.
And what would happen if you did not.
What are you doing? What haνe you done?
lf there are any who still question
whether your new lord means what he says,
here is the answer to your question.
(CROWD GASPlNG)
No!
