House of the Dragon - Season 1 Edit

A conqueror's name...

A crabfeeder for a sea snake.

A dashing knight, and a dragon rider.

A decision I most bitterly regret.

A discomforting truth from time to time, Your Grace.

A dragon's saddle is one thing,

A fair play for a man of his position.

A feat I'm not sure Ser Otto could've accomplished alone.

A fine idea, Your Grace.

A fine knight, Princess.

A girl has been named heir to the Iron Throne,

A girl so young and so slight...

A girl, his heir.

A good and honorable lady of the Vale.

A good and kind queen will give comfort to your subjects.

A half measure, Your Grace.

A king or queen,

A lapse of morals

A loyal Hand must tell his king

A man called Craghas Drahar

A marriage for love,

A marriage is a duty... Yes.

A match with their daughter would go a long way towards

A moment.

A navy large enough to span the seas of the world.

A not so common whore then.

A rare bloom.

A regret of mine.

A seat at the King's table does not make you his equal.

A second son who stands to inherit nothing

A Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne.

A tea, Princess.

A technique is taught at the Citadel,

A very kind gesture, Alicent.

A very strong match, Your Grace.

Abandoned me for some whore.

About my ships and my men.

According to some texts.

Accusing my daughter of something.

Across the Narrow Sea on 10,000 ships

Aegon called his dream "The Song of Ice and Fire."

Aegon foresaw the end of the world of men.

Aegon the Conqueror given the chance.

Aegon the Conqueror united the Seven Kingdoms

Aemma... I'm here.

After my niece's wedding, I plan to fly to the Eyrie

After this miserable pregnancy...

Against reavers from the Iron Islands.

Against the cold and the dark.

Ah, yes, apologies. I couldn't recall.

Ah!

Ah... Rhaenyra.

Ahh, yes. Terrible thing.

Aided the Dragon in his war of conquest...

Aiding the Prince in his treason?

Alicent: Did you read it?

Alicent: If you answer with "Lord Something,"

Alicent: Please look after the Hand, Ser Criston.

Alicent: Rhaenyra!

Alicent: What was his name?

Alicent: When Princess Nymeria arrived in Dorne,

All anyone sees when they look at me now is "The Queen."

All attempts to turn the babe have failed.

All focused on the babe.

All have passed fair trials.

All I wanted was for someone to say that they were sorry

All of Westeros must stand against it.

All of you...

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

All: (shout) Hey!

Among the natives.

An honest mistake, perhaps,

An oath of chastity. I've broken it.

And a blind incursion in the Stepstones

And a cock.

And a, uh... good wife to my brother.

And after tonight's small affair...

And all councils past, has been self interested.

And all the dragons roared as one.

And already they tried to marry my father off

And are presently ridding the Step stones

And be done with all this bother.

And before that...

And beg for Laenor's hand.

And beyond.

And burn out this Crabfeeder.

And burned her own fleet off Sun spear

And by marrying again, I may begin to ensure

And called me heir to the throne.

And chances are better than not that one of those will be male.

And demonstrate my reign's strongest days are ahead,

And fiercest ally, House Velaryon.

And fortify it with an army of his gold cloaks.

And free...

And half its dragons.

And has now stolen a dangerous weapon...

And having me tortured...

And he has hastened to the Hall of Nine

And he will have his place at my court.

And he will stop at nothing to see it done.

And heir to the Iron Throne.

And her younger cousin, Prince Viserys Targaryen,

And his lady wife, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

And his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And his will be the Song of Ice and Fire."

And hopefully stop the advance of the rot.

And House Velaryon united,

And I am your King.

And I asked to go home.

And I believe her.

And I believe it, I know she did,

And I believed her.

And I heard the sound of thundering hooves,

And I know that others here agree.

And I placed our son upon the Iron Throne...

And I wanted to assure you how much I value the bond

And I will not have Driftmark beggared while our King

And I will take their eyes.

And I would remedy that...

And I, sadly, was no great warrior.

And I'm sorry if I have failed you in that. I am.

And I've always wished to see where they went.

And if Rhaenyra succeeds him,

And if the world of men is to survive,

And in turn, he's granted me the same.

And it's the only thing I have to my fucking name!

And just as Daenys foresaw the end of Valyria,

And leave Dragonstone by order of His Grace,

And lords vassal of the Seven Kingdoms...

And made to squeeze out heirs.

And Master of Casterly Rock.

And my daughter and heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And my heir will soon put all of this damnable

And nights safe under my protection.

And no one in your court would blink an eye.

And now a child.

And now it comes.

And now you know hers.

And now, a foreign power has established a colony

And other friends of his.

And our line is vulnerable, too easily ended.

And petition Lady Jeyne myself.

And protect it.

And Protector of the Realm,

And provide an assessment of his progress

And provide the plans.

And put them on a path...

And replace me as heir.

And retrieved the egg without bloodshed.

And saw a rich land ripe for the capture.

And Ser Laenor Velaryon, the heir to Driftmark.

And Ser Laenor will make a fine husband.

And several of the servants have now admitted to seeing her,

And shall defend them against all enemies

And shall defend them against all enemies

And she already has a male heir.

And she has Targaryen blood.

And she is the eldest daughter

And so have I.

And so, your first duty is to the realm.

And strengthen his line.

And swore obeisance to her.

And takes it under advisement.

And tell me, Lord Dondarrion,

And that council of leeches knows it.

And that his thoughts and energies are occupied?

And that I was with child.

And that she will enjoy your company, as I have, Your Grace.

And the Age of Dragons.

And the blood of the dragon runs thick.

And the castle is surrounded by a deep, dry moat.

And the day grows ugly.

And the dragonlords, the highest of the nobility,

And the First Men,

And the need for strength and unity across the realm.

And the realm.

And the Sea Snake holds claim to nearly half the realm's ships.

And the Velaryon fleet bound in blood,

And the whole realm will celebrate.

And their secrets,

And their son and heir, Ser Laenor Velaryon,

And then Daemon sank into his cups and, uh...

And they denied it.

And this great day

And this one, as yet, has never led me astray.

And this was the Anogrion.

And though my seat may be lesser in size,

And to be compelled to...

And to secure her claim,

And uniting the two great Valyrian houses

And Voice of Old town,

And we expect them to act with honor and grace.

And we feel that our forecast

And we will return the House of the Dragon to its proper glory.

And wed her in the tradition of our house.

And wed Ser Laenor.

And what do you propose?

And what of you, men of the City Watch?

And what will you do about the vulture

And whatever dwells within

And when it's done...

And when that boy comes of age and your father has passed,

And whose bum it might bear.

And yet it is a dark day for the realm.

And yet not once have you asked me to be your Hand!

And yet, you made it possible.

And you acted without The Crown's leave.

And you are to do so without quarrel

And you will be her king consort.

And you will do so without protest.

And your desires.

And your father is no fool.

And?

And... now the day comes.

Another lord might assure me that I would rise like

Any further performances like last night's

Anyone fool enough to challenge Rhaenyra's claim

Anywhere but by your side.

Apologies for the late hour, my Lord.

Are certainly on their way to King's Landing already. To turn them back now...

Are important allies of The Crown.

Are mere estimations, my King,

Are presently fixed on the Red Keep.

Are right now descending upon King's Landing

Are unscalable vassalstone.

Are you asking for leave?

Are you confessing some guilt, Ser Gerold?

Are you mad?

Are you so desperate for the King's attention

Are you so sick with ambition

Are you?!

As a clement Queen,

As a contender for my hand.

As a, as a knight of, of your Kings guard.

As commander of the Watch.

As did I.

As he was my escort, I had no real choice.

As her husband, whatever she was due now passes to me.

As I already did you and be done with it.

As I know you love her.

As I know... the Princess is to you.

As I said, you were the favorite.

As is yours who took his place.

As King, it is my obligation to avoid war

As King, you have a claim on all things.

As lawless and terrifying.

As long as I can recall, it's all he's wanted.

As long as you are gone from my sight for good.

As Master of Coin, you said he was a spendthrift

As next in line for the throne.

As the bells of the Grand Sept tolled

As we join together in celebration.

As you carry their cups?

As you wish, brother.

As your Hand, I must maintain trusted sources of information.

Assemble a detachment, Otto.

At her instigation, it is true, but that should...

At its height or at its fall.

At least the Princess has a plan.

At such time when their firstborn ascends the Iron Throne,

At the direction of the King, as I understand it.

At the end of it all, a royal wedding...

At the end of it all...

At the moment, The Crown is perceived as being vulnerable.

At the peak of his abilities.

At the Small Council today, Your Grace.

At this dark hour,

Awaiting your best chance to destroy her reputation?

Away from all of this.

Aye, the Black woods truly turned the tide on that one.

Aye...

Bad humors of the mind

Baelon the Brave,

Baelon.

Balerion was the last living creature to have seen Old Valyria before the Doom.

Banish your whore...

Be made Prince of Dragons tone.

Be welcome,

Be welcome, Ser Criston.

Be welcome.

Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel,

Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel,

Because I thought you might try.

Because if those are kept safe...

Because that is the order of things.

Because the realm would not have it so.

Because women would never be ready for the battle in time.

Before Aegon's death, the last of the Valyrian pyromancers

Before I can attempt to discredit it.

Before spring's end.

Before the council convenes.

Before the games are over, my son will be born,

Before the Princess Rhaenys and I could accept this most...

Begging your pardon, Your Grace, I may be mistaken.

Beginning in a homeland I can no longer recall.

Beginning tonight, King's Landing will learn

Being King.

Beric Dondarrion: ...the wall Blackhaven

Better her first experience be with me than some whore.

Bettered the City Watch to your exacting standards.

Between my brother and my daughter.

Between my daughter,

Between our houses.

Beyond capturing poachers.

Beyond the walls of the Keep...

Birth is unpleasant enough as it is.

Bit too large for the Dragonpit.

Boo!

Boremund Baratheon: The Black woods are an ancient house

Born wearing a crown?

Both of the Baratheon lads,

Both owe you a debt that can never be repaid.

Bracken!

Brings you back unspoiled,

But Alicent...

But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest.

But Daemon wished to continue.

But do you think I would choose infamy

But dream and pray as they all might,

But Driftmark makes for a better ally

But he was ill for some time.

But he'll not live to be an old man.

But he's denied me.

But houses such as Crakehall and Mallister

But how can that be accomplished

But I am glad you are home.

But I believe that you were.

But I can no longer trust your judgment.

But I cannot.

But I consider the matter urgent.

But I do not envy you.

But I know that there is only one true king, Your Grace.

But I know...

But I promise, you will not be disappointed.

But I understand the order of things.

But I've mourned all the dead children I can.

But if the gods should visit

But if...

But in questioning them,

But instead of being by my side, or Rhaenyra's,

But it is mine to hold the realm together,

But it may not be enough.

But many of the smallfolk are like to believe

But much of King's Landing is seen by the smallfolk

But my, um...

But no one can doubt his ambition.

But only two were truly considered:

But other than that, and the fact that he's just unhorsed

But over the past few days, it seems we have traded

But that doesn't stop us from doing what we want.

But the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm.

But the men of the realm already had their opportunity

But then to him, a babe is born.

But there is a part of me wishes I'd been tested.

But they bent the knee to me

But they say that because of our dragons.

But tragedy had claimed both his sons,

But unlike the Targaryens,

But Vhagar still lives...

But we are both deeply invested in this union.

But we have all been

But what would they do with the common whore

But would she make a powerful queen,

But you are my only heir

But you must first do yours as king.

But you must hear it.

But you must never await its coming.

But you must understand,

But you said he was a tyrant.

But you stood tall.

But you, you did not choose him.

But your heart is even blacker than I thought.

But, I I, I did, however, wonder if...

By all rights,

By all rights,

By order of your King.

By precedent and by law.

By reducing you.

By the news...

By the Silent Sisters.

Came to a close,

Can adversely affect the body.

Can be another Valyria, Your Grace?

Can I presume that,

Captain Barret: Thief!

Captain Randyll Barret: Commander on the floor!

Care for some company?

Carry on. You were saying something about my impunity.

Cast you aside in favor of a little girl.

Cauterization would be a wise

Celebrate the birth of our future king.

Certainly, he cannot still be wroth?

City Watchman: Get up!

Closest to the source of their magic and power.

Come, cousin.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Come.

Congratulations are in order.

Congratulations on your victory.

Congratulations, stepdaughter.

Congratulations, Your Grace.

Corlys Velaryon: I congratulate you, Lord Lyonel.

Corlys Velaryon: Your Grace.

Corlys: A most surprising end.

Corlys: I have been petitioning the King to send my navy

Corlys: The Crabfeeder is backed by powerful entities

Corlys: To elude a storm,

Corlys: You flatter me, Your Grace.

Could only take me so far in this life.

Coupling.

Course of treatment, Your Grace.

Coursed with the blood of the First Men,

Cousin!

Craven!

Creeping through the gates from King's Landing,

Crime of every breed has been allowed to thrive.

Crone...

D...

Daemon and Rhaenyra share the blood of the dragon.

Daemon and Rhaenyra were seen together...

Daemon has ambition, yes,

Daemon has squatted there for over half a year

Daemon is my brother.

Daemon is without limit.

Daemon is your heir.

Daemon never touched me.

Daemon Targaryen.

Daemon would be a second Maegor, or worse.

Daemon, he would venture off, abroad,

Daemon: Am I your prisoner?

Daemon: I need to understand the charge

Daemon: It's where people come to take what they want.

Daemon: Mysar...

Daemon: Oh, what does it matter, brother?

Daemon: Some Myrish Prince

Daemon: Wait, I'll find him.

Daemon?

Dare I say it is a matter of taste?

Dead of a burst belly.

Dear me.

Despite spending most of my days amidst the grandeur of the Red Keep,

Did she not?

Did sleep flee you as well this morning?

Did you call me to Driftmark

Did you say it?

Did you think my great grandmother as beautiful as they say?

Died the last memory of Valyria of Old.

Disagreeable.

Disband your army,

Discomforting news.

Disguised as a page

Do any of these knights have combat experience?

Do hereby name...

Do they seem... familiar?

Do you also call yourself "King"?

Do you believe that Westeros

Do you have a specific course of action to propose,

Do you know what color it glows

Do you know what it is?

Do you know where Vhagar is now?

Do you remind your father's men of that

Do you speak of how you rejected every suitor

Do you think Daemon is distracted by his present tasks?

Do you want them mugged, ****d, murdered?

Do you wish to have your blood on the Iron Throne so badly

Do you wish to know your death, child?

Does it bother you?

Does my father know he's here?

Does not have to be the end.

Does the Small Council have a particular lady in mind?

Don't be scared. They're going to bring the babe out.

Don't look, Princess.

Dornish marches, Princess.

Dragon keeper Elder: (speaking High Valyrian) Dohaeras.

Dragons will rule the Seven Kingdoms

Dragonstone is quite secure.

Dragonstone?

Due to his inventive methods of punishing his enemies.

During a difficult birth,

During the hour of the owl.

Each of us dines as we see fit.

Either you prepare Aegon to rule,

Eldest son of the Hand of the King.

Ended well before their term.

Enforce my laws, but understand...

Enjoyed that, did you?

Even if I'm not.

Even if it ends in the death

Even old bronze cunts like you.

Even Targaryens.

Even those you don't want.

Ever since my name was read by the archmaesters at the Great Council,

Every lord and lady that calls for an audience with me,

Every man on my small council,

Every time that golden beast

Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men,

Familiarity is not at issue.

Father...

Fear.

Fine.

Five days later my... my father lay dead.

Five days.

Five dragons on Daemon.

Five hundred.

For a lie?

For centuries, my house had to scratch out an existence from the sea

For custom or tradition, rules.

For he knew the cold truth.

For her, her husband, and for their heirs.

For my brother's tourney.

For one night, I wish to be free

For the King to name a successor.

For the next hundred years,

For the stability of the realm.

For the woman as it is the man.

For what happened to me.

For your ship and crew, and make an offering

Four coppers, street rat.

Four ships have now been lost.

Fourteen succession claims were heard

Free of conditions, are they now?

Free to go where we like, to love as we like.

From across the Blackwater.

From fucking who we want.

From the burdens and indignities of your inheritance.

From the King.

From what?

Fucking is a pleasure, you see.

Generous proposal.

Gently in his sleep.

Gerold: In the Vale,

Give me Rhaenyra to take to wife

Give me your hand.

Go back to the Vale, Daemon,

Go on.

Gods be good.

Gods be good.

Gods spare me...

Gods. He's Dornish.

Good fortune to you, cousin.

Good fortune to you.

Good luck, my Prince.

Good morrow, my lords.

Good. Children can be such irritating creatures.

Grand Maester Mellos: Prepare the crucible.

Grand Maester Mellos: We have no way of predicting

Grand Maester Mellos: Yes, Your Grace.

Green.

Gusting out of the distant north.

Had two stillbirths, and two pregnancies

Had you and the Queen chosen a name?

Half of my city to achieve this.

Hand wringing to rest himself.

Hard lessons are not welcomed but suffered.

Harrold: Get Mellos! Get back!

Harrold: It is with great pleasure

Harrold: Lord Corlys of House Velaryon.

Harrold: Ser Criston Cole.

Harrold: Ser Desmond Caron,

Harrold: Ser Rymun Mallister.

Harrold: The Hand, Your Grace.

Has anybody ever told you you're nearly as pretty as your brother?

Has been made more auspicious

Has claimed the Targaryen seat on Dragonstone

Has she been harmed?

Has styled himself the prince admiral of this Triarchy.

Has surrounded himself with an army of gold cloaks,

Has taken to styling itself "the Triarchy."

Has there been any word from your dear brother?

Have allowed him to accumulate strength.

Have this rumormonger brought before me at once.

Have you spoken to her?

Having your favor would all but assure it.

He called me boy.

He chose you for his heir.

He claims he's taken to wife and made with child?

He could never stay away from the lists.

He could not have witnessed such a thing.

He didn't choose me. He spurns Daemon.

He doesn't seize for himself.

He has no interest in such things.

He has two things Rhaenyra cannot:

He hasn't yet seen the new tapestries

He is impulsive and violent.

He is... frustrated.

He lacks the patience for it.

He or she will do so bearing the name Targaryen.

He passed in peace, I hope.

He passed through the Red Keep's gates at first light.

He plans to wed his daughter Laena to the Sealord's son.

He proposed a marriage.

He reported it to the King.

He sailed home to Driftmark.

He took me into the city for some fun.

He took me to a show. I...

He wants Aegon to be named heir.

He was found to have passed

He was the last mounted of three and twenty knights.

He will outgrow it.

He would not be like to take it well.

He would not dare withhold them in the face of the realm's need.

He'll be glad of a visitor.

He'll make a fine knight of the Kingsguard.

He's failed as a servant.

He's still young.

Hear now their vows.

Heir to the Iron Throne...

Her condition must be something very serious.

Her father must propagate the royal line.

Her kind... is not soon to be seen again.

Her mother has passed.

Her neck and skull both crushed in the fall.

Here in the quiet of the Sept...

Here is the hard truth,

Here it is.

Hey!

Hid his song in the steel.

High Septon: Here, in the presence of gods and men,

High Septon: The love of the Seven is holy and eternal.

His Grace has honored me with the post.

His Grace put before you, or how you abruptly ended the tour

His Grace would never lower himself to entertain such a mummer's farce.

His men might not put the Prince's head on a spike,

His new wife will produce new heirs,

His remains are being prepared

Hm, I shall hope for a different outcome.

Hm?

House High tower

House Lannister with their lord, Jason Lannister.

House Velaryon's origins reach back to Old Valyria.

How angry is he?

How are they...

How do you think he will take it?

How does confessing to such things serve him?

How I wish that could be, Rhaenyra.

How long did it take you to choose yourself over your King?

How often does he speak the pure truth?

How romantic it must be to get imprisoned in a castle

How you loathe the lot of your position,

How's Rhaenyra?

However,

Husband.

I admit, I cannot imagine what you might have planned for the wedding.

I agree.

I always welcome the unfettered thoughts of my council.

I am cousin to your late lady wife.

I am making an accusation.

I am not prepared to start a war with the Free Cities.

I am not so common.

I am the crown, Ser Criston.

I am the Princess. To...

I am your servant as always, my Queen.

I am.

I apologize for the early hour, Your Grace.

I asked the stonemasons to mend it.

I asked whether this bothers you.

I believe I'm quite content as a spectator, thank you.

I believe Ser Criston has bloodied that white cloak of his

I bought you something.

I brought a book.

I brought you something.

I can assure you, the sheep are prettier.

I can find comfort these days.

I can say that I built my house's high seat

I can think of no man more suited to be the Hand of the King.

I cannot say the same for your brother.

I cannot say why.

I choose Ser Criston Cole.

I confess I had a similar desire.

I corroborated this report

I could bring in another.

I could even arrange one with silver hair.

I could father a dozen bastards,

I could learn to like that one.

I could never replace your mother.

I could think of no better man than Ser Laenor.

I deserve no consideration.

I did not ask for a lesson in politics.

I did wonder if she could be relied upon

I didn't come into your service wanting gold or power

I discovered that Ser Criston was the only man among them

I do fear what Rhaenyra might think.

I do hope she's not unwell.

I do know how passionate you are for the histories.

I do not wish to make us estranged.

I do not wish to see you go.

I do.

I don't know what you mean.

I don't need mothering, Rhaenyra.

I don't need protection from a common whore.

I don't wish to cause you further distress,

I endured it for as long as I could.

I ensured long ago that I would never be

I fear I must question you on a,

I fear Lord Corlys's pride is the least of our worries.

I fear nothing short of a direct line

I fear that she wouldn't understand them.

I fear that the eyes of our enemies

I feel close to her.

I feel it important

I feel, forgive me,

I find I have... few friends lately.

I find it a bit greasy for my taste.

I find this is a way to be with my mother.

I fought for a year as a foot solider against the Dornish incursions.

I found myself thinking of your own mother today.

I had considered saying nothing, but...

I had hoped to pay my respects.

I had not thought you particularly comfortable in this home.

I have a report I feel compelled to share.

I have acted, Corlys.

I have been sold as property

I have come looking for an unencumbered opinion.

I have committed it.

I have decided to name a new heir.

I have decided to take a new wife.

I have deep knowledge of the port at Sun spear

I have dishonored myself.

I have felt Corlys Velaryon's envious gaze staring at me

I have neither fought nor conquered,

I have no such intent, Your Grace.

I have only ever defended you!

I have several.

I have spent a lifetime defending you.

I have wasted the years since you were born...

I have, um...

I haven't given marriage much thought.

I haven't seen him in years.

I heard that Lady Elinor is hiding a swollen belly beneath her dress.

I held an audience earlier today

I hold nothing against you, cousin.

I hope for my father that he gets a son.

I hope to herald in a second Age of Dragons

I hope you can forgive the late hour, Princess.

I imagine even dragons get lonely.

I intend to marry...

I just hope you don't have to maim

I just...

I knew what I wanted.

I knew you couldn't finish.

I know it is my duty to provide you an heir,

I know it.

I know many of you have traveled long leagues

I know tempers ran hot today,

I know that I must make the effort.

I know that whatever agreement being struck up there

I know this union is not what you would choose.

I know those men and how they plot

I learned that skin trade

I left the Princess just minutes ago.

I like this position. It's quite comfortable.

I like to believe I'm still the Lady Alicent, but...

I love you.

I loved your mother... very much.

I may chafe at my duties,

I may have been forged a different man.

I must admit, I, I don't know Laena very well.

I must admit...

I must say, I was most distressed

I must've been in error.

I myself have put the business behind me, Corlys.

I named Daemon Master of Laws,

I needed to see you, Princess.

I never asked to remarry.

I never wore the crown

I often think that in the crucible,

I only now realize how well calculated it was.

I only pore over the histories

I only seek clarity, Your Grace.

I only want to help you, Rhaenyra.

I only wish that were true, Your Grace.

I only worry for my mother.

I overheard.

I pledge fealty to them

I pledge fealty to them

I prefer roast duck to goose.

I proclaim...

I really couldn't say.

I regret it.

I see a group without equal in our histories.

I see Otto High tower for what he is.

I shall enjoy them alone.

I should disinherit her

I should've known better.

I sometimes forget how alike you both were.

I struggled to realize that my daughter had so quickly become a woman grown.

I surmise the tour did not go well.

I swear this by the old gods and the new.

I swear this by the old gods and the new.

I think it best you hear it directly.

I think it's rather romantic.

I think my bronze bitch is happier for my absence.

I think she might find it difficult...

I think she would open herself to you if invited.

I thought I might come and look in on you, Your Grace.

I thought it best shared discreetly

I thought you might go to him...

I thought you might urge your brother

I took an oath.

I took great care in its preparation.

I took the liberty of preparing a fresh set

I trust your ride was pleasant.

I understand the Queen is still readying herself for the celebrations.

I want him to see me as more than his little girl.

I want Rhaenyra. I'll take her as she is,

I want to fly with you on dragon back,

I want to know what is to be done

I want to seize the Stepstones by force

I want us to continue as we began,

I wanted this to be a wedding for the histories.

I was a knight in the Storm lands.

I was hoping to ask for the Princess's favor.

I was only a spectator. I didn't do anything.

I wasn't aware you had a king for a brother.

I will do my duty as heir

I will go to Dragonstone and drag Daemon back

I will never recover from Aemma's death.

I will not be made to choose

I will not revisit this debate.

I will not sit here and suffer crows that come to feast on their corpses!

I will speak of my brother as I wish.

I wish I had known better

I wish she would approach me.

I wish to apologize for the tenor

I wish to propose a marriage between your son, Ser Laenor...

I wish to speak to you about my inheritance.

I wish you luck, Ser Criston.

I wonder if this is how we should

I wonder who it is.

I wonder...

I worried that given leave of your father's shadow,

I would ask only this...

I would be delighted.

I would give you many children

I would gladly take it if I thought I needed it.

I would happily row myself back to King's Landing

I would humbly ask for the favor

I would never.

I would urge that you not allow

I would.

I wouldn't be surprised if I hatched an actual dragon.

I wouldn't know what to say.

I, Boremund Baratheon...

I, Corlys Velaryon,

I, I thought if we were married, I might be able to restore it.

I, Lord Hobert High tower,

I, Rick on Stark,

I, uh, dearly loved my own lady wife.

I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name...

I...

I'd like to see them.

I'd rather ride alone.

I'd rather serve as a knight and ride to battle and glory.

I'll caution you, Lord Corlys,

I'm afraid it concerns the Princess, my King.

I'm asking you to come with me...

I'm certain of it.

I'm dressed, An nor a. Come.

I'm glad it is you.

I'm here. It's all right.

I'm not sure you do.

I'm not unaware that in flush of youth...

I'm on watch. What's your business?

I'm positively bereft. Such a tragic accident.

I'm right here, Uncle...

I'm sorry, Rhaenyra.

I'm sorry, what is that?

I'm sorry, Your Grace, but that is the truth as I see it,

I'm sorry, Your Grace?

I'm sorry.

I'm sure he will reemerge for the tourney.

I'm sure Lord Corlys appreciated the spirit of it.

I'm sure that she is good and kind,

I'm the Queen.

I'm told they needed a two horse cart

I'm very sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry, Your Grace.

I'm your protector, lucky for you.

I've always thought of you and I as having been

I've assembled 20 of your best household guards, my Lord Hand.

I've come to meet my fate and you make a jape of it?

I've granted him leave to pursue his own interests...

I've heard you say so many times

I've invited a number of fine candidates to court.

I've left that life behind.

I've lost one babe in the cradle,

I've missed you, too.

I've never been more certain of anything.

I've never heard of House Cole.

I've only ever spoken the truth.

I've sent envoys to Pentos and Volantis

Idles himself with feasts and balls and tourneys.

If chosen as your match, Princess...

If Daemon were to remain the uncontested heir,

If he doesn't...

If House Velaryon entered into an alliance

If it brought an end to this ridiculous pageant.

If it does not already possess one?

If not brewed properly, it can either prove ineffective

If not for me, then, perhaps for them.

If only the Prince would show the same devotion

If order and stability so concerns this council,

If that lord were to think that you had been...

If there is anything the crown might do to aid House Royce...

If there were another path...

If those shipping lanes fall,

If those shipping lanes should fall,

If we cannot agree on an heir, then how can we expect...

If we don't mind our own histories, it will do the same to us.

If you expect to rule them one day.

If you had not been so relentless in advancing Aegon as heir!

If you mean to elicit some anger from me,

If you truly want my unencumbered opinion...

If you wish it.

If you wish to be restored as heir,

If you would.

In a brothel?

In a pleasure house.

In all of its history, my lord,

In both the tourney lists and without.

In Essos...

In exchange for a bushel of oranges or a ship to Asshai?

In good faith and without deceit.

In good faith and without deceit.

In his chambers?

In keeping with our traditions.

In keeping with Westerosi tradition...

In King's Landing, we pay for our pleasures.

In our most critical shipping lane.

In the bowels of a pleasure den.

In the custom of House Targaryen."

In the re training and re equipping of his City Watch.

In the River lands, they once ruled as kings.

In the Seven Kingdoms fawning over you...

In the Step stones, Your Grace.

In the Vale, men are said to fuck sheep instead of women.

In their secret councils when I've been sent away.

In those days, House Targaryen

In Westeros.

Including spying on me to bring about my ruin.

Indeed, but the wounds made by the Great Council

Indigenous to Braavos.

Into the territory,

Is a chance for you to prove your worth

Is a wound that will never heal.

Is an illusion.

Is as accurate as it can be.

Is feeding Westerosi sailors to the crabs.

Is hardly in line with our laws.

Is it healing?

Is it not better to live in peace

Is it?

Is promised to that young Tarly squire.

Is that what your father told you to say?

Is the only way to demonstrate that we are not?

Is the realm's prime defense

Is this how House Velaryon greets its King?

Is young, Your Grace.

It bothers you, does it not?

It concerns our dear Princess Rhaenyra.

It could destabilize the realm.

It did when I lost mine own mother.

It feels something of an injustice.

It hardly makes a good song, does it?

It hasn't even been half a year since Aemma passed.

It is an honest one, cousin.

It is his duty to take a new wife

It is larger than the throne, the king.

It is larger than you

It is my duty

It is no easy thing

It is no excuse.

It is not in Rhaenyra's nature to be deceitful.

It is perhaps best not to know.

It is rare for girls in this realm to get a choice between two suitors,

It is situated most pleasingly.

It is the duty of this council

It is truly wondrous what you've built.

It is well fortified against any future Dornish incursions.

It is, of course, unthinkable for me

It isn't that simple, Rhaenyra.

It may be months or years,

It might be difficult for you to understand,

It must be made.

It pleases me to hear you say this.

It saves my head from a spike.

It seems I'm not so easily replaced.

It seems the realm wants for a new queen.

It shouldn't be thriving here.

It sometimes becomes necessary for the father...

It was a dream.

It was a duty.

It was a good day for you.

It was a grim day.

It was Aenar's before that.

It was clearer than a memory.

It was foolish of you to place yourself in a position

It was getting late...

It was not my intent to make offense.

It was undignified of the King to drag himself here

It will beggar our ports.

It will rid you of any unwanted consequences.

It will take time.

It would be a great honor

It would be a show of force.

It would not be an aberration

It's a favorite of mine.

It's a marvel that war didn't break out at first blood.

It's a small cut from sitting the throne.

It's a wound that refuses to heal, Grand Maester.

It's all right, ser.

It's as warm as the maesters will allow.

It's been passed from king to heir since Aegon's time.

It's important.

It's just that on the very same night your father was dismissed,

It's long past time our houses were united in blood.

It's my throne.

It's not much different to combat.

It's not my daughter you lust for, is it?

It's nothing.

It's only been half a year since my mother died,

It's only for you and the gods to know.

It's tepid.

It's the rest I could do without.

It's too dangerous.

It's unseemly for him to put himself forward

It's Valyrian steel.

It's, it's not for a lack of trying.

Its greatness and its flaws.

Jaehaerys called the Great Council

Jaehaerys named a great royal hunt

Jaehaerys named you Hand in Baelon's stead.

Jaehaerys Targaryen: It is declared by all lords paramount

Jaehaerys would've disinherited you.

Jaehaerys, was failing.

Jest if you will,

Join our families.

Just as I do.

Just as they did the last.

Just five days...

Just get out.

Just moments ago, you announced your support for Daemon!

Kill him!

King and Council have long rued my position

King Jaehaerys reigned over nearly 60 years

King of the Andals, and the Rhoynar,

King Viserys: (sighs) Gods be good.

King Viserys: Aegon saw absolute darkness

King Viserys: Aemma.

King Viserys: And are we meant to weep for dead pirates?

King Viserys: Be welcome!

King Viserys: Daemon was not made to wear the crown.

King Viserys: Good.

King Viserys: I'm glad we could meet.

King Viserys: More wine.

King Viserys: Of course.

King Viserys: Rhaenyra.

King Viserys: Ser Ryam was a strong Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

King Viserys: Still, you say nothing.

King Viserys: That dagger

King Viserys: The Small Council is urging me to remarry.

King Viserys: The tourney will take the better part of a week.

King Viserys: The Valyrian capital was built into a volcano,

King Viserys: There's something else that I need to tell you.

King Viserys: This council has, at great expense,

King Viserys: This is no trivial gesture, Rhaenyra.

King Viserys: Though it was some time ago.

King Viserys: Well, that sounds suspiciously

King Viserys: What is it, Alicent?

King Viserys: What would you have me do?

King Viserys: Why don't you take the Princess to see about the new

King Viserys: You disobeyed me.

King's cupbearer must not be late.

King's Landing has been in decline since my grandmother passed.

Kingsguard posting, Lord Commander?

Kneel with me.

Knives will come out

Know that Old town stands with you.

Lacks the patience for absolute power, Your Grace.

Lady Mysaria is to be my wife.

Lady Mysaria: You announced that we were to be wed?

Lady Rhea was a fine woman

Lady Rhea's skill as both

Laena is your daughter, Princess.

Laena Velaryon.

Laena: A Targaryen prince,

Laenor of House Velaryon...

Larger than anyone in my family.

Larys Strong: An outsider...

Last night...

Laughing with your whores and your lickspittles!

Leave me... at once.

Leave us, all of you.

Leaving his succession in doubt.

Left the castle after dark?

Let me go to Dragonstone.

Let me take that.

Let them wag.

Let us discover what might be had for breakfast.

Let us leave it all behind and see the world together...

Let's just get on with it.

Let's not be too hasty, Princess.

Lies, slander!

Like Dark Sister.

Like good news, Lord Corlys.

Like what?

Listen to me, daughter.

Lived here, at the volcanic face,

Look at what he did with the gold cloaks.

Look, Rhaenyra will be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms

Lord Boremund Baratheon: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen!

Lord Corlys has overreached, Your Grace.

Lord Corlys is said to have engaged in negotiations

Lord Corlys is your Master of Ships

Lord Corlys Velaryon has offered the hand of his daughter,

Lord Corlys: You wouldn't have to, Your Grace.

Lord High tower, if you're in want

Lord Larys.

Lord of the Seven Kingdoms,

Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark,

Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark.

Lord of the Tides, Master of Driftmark.

Lord of Winter fell...

Lord Paramount of the West,

Lord Stokeworth's daughter

Loved by all of her people,

Lyman Beesbury: Hey, Your Grace, at Prince Daemon's urging,

Lyman: The cost of the tournament is not negligible.

Lyonel Strong: The succession is already set...

Lyonel: Rhaenyra? A girl?

Lyonel: You have carried King Jaehaerys's legacy.

Made from the same cloth.

Maester Orwyle: If I may, Grand Maester,

Maiden...

Malvales.

Many that are tested,

Marriage is not an obligation you can put off for long.

Master of Revels: Prince Daemon of House Targaryen,

Master of Revels: Prince Daemon Targaryen

May I sit?

May the luck of the Seven shine upon all combatants!

Mayhaps we can turn toward happier pursuits.

Mellos: A new heir, Your Grace.

Mellos: Congratulations, Your Grace.

Mellos: Corlys of House Velaryon,

Mellos: It has grown slightly, Your Grace.

Mellos: Let him keep his place at court, Your Grace,

Mellos: Rest now, Your Grace. I will bring the leeches.

Mellos: That will not be necessary, Orwyle.

Mellos: This is our best chance to save the digit, Your Grace.

Mellos: Under such circumstances,

Mellos: What does it matter, Your Grace?

Mellos.

Men are made to answer for their crimes.

Men are made to answer for their slanders.

Men would sooner put the realm to the torch

Meting out the summary judgments himself.

Might be a good thing.

Might I speak plainly, Your Grace?

Might I suggest cauterization?

Might long for a claim,

Might we drink to our future?

Milk of the poppy as we can

Mine own father does not know the language of girls either.

Mm.

Mm. Their wants are of no consequence.

Mm...

More ancient even than House Targaryen...

More mature, perhaps.

More times than I care to count,

Most important assets, Lord Corlys.

Most of my years have been spent living in terror.

Mother would've understood this.

Mother...

Mother's funeral,

Much like Dragonstone.

Murderer!

Must I truly refute that?

Must you indulge him?

My apologies, Your Grace, but I cannot allow it.

My apologies, Your Grace.

My blood.

My brother wishes to provoke me.

My brother would murder me, take my crown?

My brother's city has fallen into squalor.

My cousin chose to sail into this tempest, husband.

My crown and the Step stones... are yours.

My darling.

My daughter.

My family has just been destroyed.

My father has but just returned from his long journey

My father has made some worrying allegations about you.

My father is a king.

My father is no gossip.

My father seems content to sell me off

My father should be defended by a man who's known real combat.

My father was a hale and healthy warrior and dragon rider

My father.

My heir...

My house is Valyrian,

My house will be crippled.

My lady was never very kind to me.

My Lady.

My lord?

My lords.

My marriage...

My oath has been broken.

My Princess...

Mysar...

Mysaria: What troubles you, my Prince?

Mysaria: You can pay for the room on your way out.

Naejot!

Named Aegon Targaryen.

Names his daughter,

Narrator: As the first century of the Targaryen dynasty

Narrator: Rhaenys, a woman,

Nature... such mystery.

Next time, you might not be so lucky.

Next!

No less two score of them.

No longer.

No more than I intend to replace you as heir.

No one here can know what Daemon would do were he king,

No one will harm you.

No one would dare to stand against us.

No power in the world could stand against it.

No queen has ever sat the Iron Throne.

No, a Cole, of the Storm lands.

No, I...

No, it's no great mystery.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, you were. You were. I insist.

No, Your Grace.

No! (screaming)

No! No! No! No! No!

No.

No. I do not require a chair.

No... what is happening?

Nobles from every corner of the realm

None among us desire open war.

None have known real war.

Nor suffered any great defeat.

Nor will it change mine.

Not behind.

Not behind.

Not for bastards fathered on a common whore.

Not for the crown.

Not since I named him Commander of the City Watch.

Not sow it with further division.

Not the Princess, ser.

Not you.

Nothing will cause the babe to grow a cock

Now and forever.

Now speak it... plainly.

Now take a bath.

Now that she is... unwell.

Now we must both suffer the consequences.

Now you must promise to carry it...

Now, I'm fairly certain I can win these games, Lady Alicent.

Now, if there's nothing further.

Now...

Now...

Of "The Queen Who Never Was."

Of a Princess.

Of a woman to warm your bed.

Of course, it does.

Of course, no maester's capable

Of course, Princess.

Of her own free will to continue partaking of.

Of herbal poultices that might be more... effective.

Of its pirate infestation.

Of Jaehaerys' eldest son.

Of peace and prosperity.

Of pure Valyrian blood

Of rendering an opinion

Of the burdens of my inheritance.

Of the royal wedding celebrations.

Of the wealthiest house in the realm.

Of your unborn child and its mother?

Offer him comfort.

Oh no.

Oh, a relief.

Oh, I... (chuckles)

Oh, I'm sure Laenor was already taken with her.

Oh, well, then you should not deprive yourself.

Oh?

Oh... (chuckles)

Okay, I swear this to you

On a delicate matter, Ser Criston.

On the morrow.

On the precipice of war in the Stepstones.

On the Street of Silk.

On the Street of Silk...

Once belonged to Aegon the Conqueror.

Once we smashed the Triarchy,

One flesh...

One heart...

One learns instead to, um... observe.

One soul...

One that brought Valyria its doom.

One that led to freedom...

Only because Daemon tried to corrupt her.

Only for a short time before he died.

Only perception.

Only the comforts of home.

Only wish to have been spared it.

Ooh.

Open war with the Free Cities.

Or around it.

Or at Runestone for quite some time.

Or don't. Matters not to me.

Or else bear

Or have you at last come to consummate our marriage?

Or I will be.

Or I will have my Kings guard cut out your tongue.

Or perhaps your brother has at last had his fill of your company.

Or Queen.

Or rather, my father received an accounting of...

Or station.

Or the Knight of Kisses, they call me,

Or the little princeling of three?

Or to lose them both.

Or was there some other reason?

Or you cleave to Rhaenyra and pray for her mercy.

Or?

Otto High tower has served two kings loyally and faithfully.

Otto High tower is a more honorable man

Otto High tower: Can you say yet what it is?

Otto: Before we begin, Your Grace,

Otto: Daemon has seized Dragonstone,

Otto: Despite how difficult this time is, Your Grace,

Otto: He toasted Prince Baelon.

Otto: It was an unprecedented

Otto: Lady Rhea is your wife,

Otto: Styling him...

Otto: The Lady Laena...

Otto: This is a truly pathetic show, Daemon.

Otto: This is an abomination.

Otto: Your occupation of this island is at an end.

Otto.

Our city should be safe for all its people.

Our good King...

Our histories...

Our history is deeply rooted in this land,

Our house controls the realm's navy

Our love does not know titles and traditions.

Our mother, she had no regard

Our own way through the world.

Our sheep are prettier, after all.

Our son was born wearing Aegon's iron crown.

Our worth is not given.

Ours is a bond that has long endured,

Over a thousand dragons,

Over a thousand lords made the journey to Harrenhal.

Over the years of our acquaintance.

Overextended myself?

Pardon me, Your Grace.

People only ever spoke to me in riddles.

Perhaps a maiden.

Perhaps I could put his head on a spike.

Perhaps I...

Perhaps I'll see you there, Ser Gerold.

Perhaps my Prince recalls when I knocked him off his horse.

Perhaps Prince Daemon would care for a tour of the gallery?

Perhaps we can salve the wound?

Perhaps we might delay until the child is in hand?

Perhaps you aren't ready to move on just yet.

Perhaps.

Pity about Ser Otto.

Player: And now we come to the matter of the great Iron Chair...

Player: Though Aegon, the babe Prince,

Please be seated.

Please.

Please.

Poring over the moon charts,

Preparing for the birth.

Prince Daemon bought out one of the pleasure houses

Prince Daemon Targaryen chooses

Prince Daemon Targaryen: Did they?

Prince Daemon: Sword!

Prince Daemon: The King made me their commander.

Prince Daemon: You cut the image of the conqueror, brother.

Prince of the City,

Princess Nymeria led her Rhoynar

Princess of Dragons tone

Princess Rhaenyra, for example.

Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the King's eldest descendant,

Princess Rhaenys: It's been 70 years since King Maegor's end.

Princess, are you, are you hurt?

Princess, I I have a message from the Queen.

Princess, we're due in Bitter bridge in three days' time.

Princess!

Princess?

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

Princess.

Princess... Your Grace.

Promise me this, Rhaenyra.

Promise me.

Promise to be faithful to King Viserys

Promise to be faithful to King Viserys

Promise to be faithful to King Viserys...

Proud men don't like having to look up.

Pushed him too close to the edge?

Putting Daemon in command of the City Watch

Queen Aemma has begun her labors!

Queen Aemma: No! (grunting)

Queen Alicent: Ser Criston.

Queen Alicent: That will be all.

Queen Alicent: What happened last night?

Quite the opposite.

****r!

Rather...

Reaching back to the days of Old Valyria

Really?

Regardless of gender,

Replace her for duty's sake.

Rhaenyra has already declared that she is to have a sister.

Rhaenyra is my heir.

Rhaenyra of House Targaryen,

Rhaenyra sailed with the King to Driftmark

Rhaenyra Targaryen

Rhaenyra, before I came here,

Rhaenyra: "From my blood...

Rhaenyra: A man.

Rhaenyra: A mystery knight?

Rhaenyra: Did you sleep?

Rhaenyra: Father.

Rhaenyra: I am yours and you are mine.

Rhaenyra: I was never much of a dancer.

Rhaenyra: In truth, if it had to be someone,

Rhaenyra: Lord Something.

Rhaenyra: Of course, I read it.

Rhaenyra: Put me down!

Rhaenyra: What is this place?

Rhaenyra: Where are we going?

Rhaenyra... the Realm's Delight,

Rhaenyra's succession will be challenged.

Rhaenys is my favorite cousin after all.

Rhaenys: A hunting mishap.

Rhaenys: Viserys has taken to bed

Rider and hunter were well known.

Rider of Caraxes. Wielder of Dark Sister.

Rider of Vhagar,

Riding on those winds.

Right in the midst of his speech.

Rise, Lord Corlys. (coughs)

Rise.

Roundup of criminals of every ilk.

Rybas!

Sad thing that she and Daemon have no heirs to succeed her.

Sate Lord Corlys and fix him at your side,

Seagard, for instance,

Sealing the breach

See the great wonders across the Narrow Sea, and eat only cake.

See, I thought for Mellos himself, well...

Send a raven to Old town. Straight away.

Send him to the Wall?

Send us.

Send word to the harbor and have Captain Oswin ready the ship.

Septa Marlow will be furious.

Ser Arlan Dondarrion knighted me after we razed

Ser Crispin, wasn't it?

Ser Criston Cole will now tilt against

Ser Criston Cole: If you have something to say, Ser Joffrey, speak it.

Ser Criston Cole: Ser Criston Cole, my Prince.

Ser Criston Cole: Yield.

Ser Criston Cole.

Ser Criston, Laenor and I have an understanding.

Ser Criston, please escort the Princess to safety.

Ser Criston, Your Grace.

Ser Criston.

Ser Criston...

Ser Daemon Targaryen, Prince of the City!

Ser Desmond has proved strong and steady

Ser Desmond recently brought a would be poacher

Ser Gerold Royce of Runestone.

Ser Gerold Royce: Lady Rhea was a unique character.

Ser Gwayne High tower of Old town,

Ser Harrold provided a fine field of tourney knights.

Ser Harrold We sterling: Welcome back, Princess.

Ser Harrold Westerling: Your Grace. My lords.

Ser Harrold: I'm told Ser Criston is common born,

Ser Harwin Strong: (shouts) Princess?

Ser Harwin.

Ser Joffrey Lonmouth,

Ser Joffrey Lonmouth: I've always feared the day you'd have to marry a woman.

Ser Laenor and Rhaenyra's children

Ser Laenor is a good and, and decent man,

Ser Laenor is quite dear to me.

Ser Otto Hightower: If you've something to discuss, Lord Corlys...

Ser Ryam's replacement on the Kingsguard.

Ser Rymun was knighted at eight and ten.

Ser Steffon Darklyn: Your Grace,

Seven days of tournament and feasting.

Several... taverns.

Shall take their father's name, Velaryon...

Shall we discuss the Heir's Tournament, Your Grace?

Shall we say his name?

She and Ser Laenor's firstborn child,

She chose a dragon's egg for the cradle

She comes from unimpeachable Velaryon stock

She doesn't say more than a few words to me.

She had a strong claim at the Great Council,

She has a paramour of her own.

She is just a girl.

She lost her mother.

She stood to inherit all of Runestone... Did she not?

She stood to inherit Runestone.

She swore her innocence,

She swore to me that she remains a maiden.

She took Lord Mors Martell of Dorne to husband

She took me through the worst of my grief.

She understands what is now expected of me.

She was a calculated distraction.

She was carrying on with her uncle.

She was thrown from her horse.

She will mature.

She'll have no choice.

She'll have to put your children to the sword.

She'll soon be as large as Caraxes.

She's fighting with all her might,

She's funny when she's furious.

She's rather protective of me.

Sheathe the fucking steel.

Ships and men are at the ready.

Should he not?

Silence!

Simply because she is a woman?

Since Lucas Black wood, the grand sire of my grand sire,

Since.

Sir Harrold will also join us.

Small minded error by any means necessar...

Smith...

So I can be a remedy for your political headaches.

So I went out and seized it.

So said Queen Alysanne herself

So that we might strengthen the royal line

So we may go to supper.

So you are accusing me of slanders...

So you did not?

So you want me to be your whore?

So you'll strip me of my titles and name Aegon in my stead.

So, do it.

So, I said to him, "Well, I believe you might be looking up the wrong end."

So, in the year 101,

So...

So... what is your advice, dear Otto.

Some further tragedy on you,

Some might call that good fortune.

Some would say too large for our world.

Someone has to attend to you.

Somewhere on the coast of the Narrow Sea.

Son of Lord Dondarrion's steward.

Son of Lord Lymond Mallister of Seagard.

Son of Ser Royce Caron,

Son of the steward of the Lord of Blackhaven.

Soon or late, Your Grace,

Spied upon?

Splintering shields, and ringing swords,

Staked to the sand to warn those who might follow.

Starving and undisciplined.

State your purpose, my lord.

Step forward, Ser Desmond.

Still linger, my King.

Stood at the height of its strength

Stop that.

Stop.

Stranger.

Strive to restore whatever scrap of honor remains in you.

Strong enough to unite the realm

Such a lonely prospect.

Such is the King's decision.

Such matters must be discussed with the Small Council.

Sullied...

Surely, Lord Corlys,

Syrax is growing quickly.

Take care not to startle Syrax, my lords.

Take your fucking hands off me.

Targaryen must understand this to be King...

Tell me the whole of it, Rhaenyra.

Tell me, how is Rhaenyra?

Ten years you've been king,

Than it does an enemy.

Than mine own daughter of 15.

Than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne.

Than to have songs sung after you are dead?

Thank you for your honesty, Ser Criston.

Thank you for your support, Lord Corlys.

Thank you, husband.

Thank you, Lord Jason.

Thank you, Princess.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That depends,

That didn't stop Aegon the Conqueror from taking a second wife.

That His Grace, King Viserys, announces the start

That I am happy to share:

That I dare say it will never recover.

That I drank wine?

That I wouldn't have to bed you until I turned 14.

That I, I know you... a bit.

That is an absurdity.

That is only by tradition and precedent, Lord Strong.

That is very kind of you to say, Lord Corlys.

That is what I'm doing, presently.

That may have occurred between...

That of your succession.

That pride has been injured.

That Prince Viserys Targaryen

That rather than gelding me

That she is otherwise occupied, Your Grace.

That she said reminded her of Vhagar.

That The Crown's strongest days are ahead...

That the Grand Maester himself brought?

That they would be born Velaryons?

That was before there was a true born prince

That was most charitable of you, Your Grace.

That was unseemly, Princess.

That we perform our duty to our fathers and to the realm

That we presently do not have.

That would beggar the realm.

That you are to be married off at your father's whim

That you are willing to destroy mine own?

That you could be a great ruling queen.

That you fucked Daemon in a pleasure house.

That you would have my daughter stalked?

That you've resorted to skulking about

That, as a male, Aegon should be the heir.

That's all I would ever give, Your Grace.

That's almost large enough to saddle two.

That's five... in twice as many years.

That's hardly how I viewed it, Your Grace.

That's only because you don't know me yet.

That's very kind, thank you.

The attention I can endure.

The beacon on the High tower,

The Black Dread himself

The Blackwater from Dragons tone,

The blood of the First Men still flows in their veins.

The brother? The daughter?

The burden of this knowledge...

The child bed is our battlefield.

The City Watch is fiercely loyal to him.

The City Watch is not a sword

The crabs, and 2,000 dead Triarchy corsairs,

The criminal element should fear the City Watch.

The crown and the realm

The crown has heard your report, Lord Corlys,

The crown has invested significant capital

The Crown will compensate you

The details... they fade in memory.

The dream.

The evening was, by all accounts a... celebration.

The feast, the battles at sea.

The first in its history.

The future king consort.

The glory of Old Valyria will never be seen again.

The gods give just as the gods take away.

The gods have a dark wit.

The gods have yet to make a man who

The Grand Maester delivered a tea to the Princess's chambers.

The Grand Maester's reasoning is sound.

The greatest power in the realm.

The growing alliance among the Free Cities

The halls of High Tide never fail to impress.

The handsome paramour.

The health of the Old King,

The hour is quite late.

The House of the Dragon

The House of the Dragon...

The idea that we control the dragons...

The Iron Throne looms larger than me,

The joining of the two houses, Your Grace.

The King cannot replace you.

The King has an heir, my Lord Hand.

The King has been under heavy stresses

The King has requested your presence.

The King has strived to find you a good match.

The King must take a new wife.

The King went through great effort to arrange your tour.

The King will die.

The King will not be happy.

The King's brother, so disinherited,

The King's eldest male descendant.

The King's firstborn child.

The King's own brother has been allowed to seize Dragonstone

The King's sole heir once again.

The Kingsguard must soon be restored to its full complement of seven.

The Lady Alicent High tower, Your Grace.

The Lady Alicent Hightower

The Lady Laena.

The Lady Laena.

The Lady Rhea Royce, has passed.

The last one was flying my banner.

The last pillars of Old Valyria.

The leechings have always brought His Grace relief.

The lords instead chose Viserys...

The lords of the realm bent the knee to Rhaenyra

The losses would be incalculable.

The maggots will remove the dead flesh

The man is older than my father.

The manner of your father's departure...

The men of the realm will expect him to be heir,

The night of Daemon's return...

The object of your ire...

The Old King called a Great Council

The only thing that could tear down

The pain of her passing still haunts me.

The Prince cannot be allowed to act

The Prince has invited you to his wedding, Your Grace.

The Princess has returned from Dragonstone.

The Princess was spied last evening...

The Princess...

The Queen has passed.

The Queen loves you...

The Queen was well loved by all.

The Queen.

The realm expects you to take a new wife

The realm is watching, Your Grace.

The realm owes you a great debt, brother.

The realm will not accept her.

The realm? Or this council?

The reason that you were disinherited.

The Red Keep has lost a warmth

The responsibility I have handed to you,

The same as my brother did for his heir.

The Sea Snake has made a calculated reach,

The Sea Snake is an over proud man, to be sure, Your Grace.

The Seven Kingdoms have never entered

The sex of the child.

The sin you allude to.

The son of the Sea Snake.

The source of life and love.

The Stepstones have now grown into a conflagration,

The Stepstones will be settled... in time.

The stonemasons built the structures.

The succeeding Lord Commander, Ser Harrold,

The succession be firmly in place

The time is coming, Alicent.

The tourney...

The truth does not matter, Rhaenyra.

The truth is, Daemon should be far away from this court.

The truth is, I'm glad you've come.

The Vale's sheep might be willing,

The view across the Marches is inspiring,

The Voice of Old town...

The Watch was enforcing the crown's laws.

The workers at Spicetown report hearing her song at times.

Their children would take their father's name?

Their lords sent them to the tourney field

Then let us all consider your gold well invested, Lord Beesbury.

Then perhaps we shouldn't break 100 years of it by naming a girl heir.

Then so are we all.

Then why do you cut me so deeply?

Then...

There are certain details I would wish clarified

There are others who would have a claim.

There are those who like goose very well.

There are times when I would rather face

There are worse things to be sold for.

There is a chance that we can save the child.

There is no pleasure in the world like...

There may be errors made...

There's a boy in the Queen's belly.

There's been a rumor...

There's no doubt Ser Criston is a fine warrior,

There's some better use for the Princess's talents, Your Grace.

These knights are as green as summer grass.

These pirates are not the Free Cities.

These recent tragedies have left you without an obvious heir.

They all prey on you for their own ends.

They are loyal to me.

They are restless and chaotic.

They are searching the texts for similar cases.

They call him "The Crabfeeder"

They denied you, Princess Rhaenys.

They grew up together.

They have massed on Bloodstone

They make a handsome match, don't they?

They named me "King of the Narrow Sea."

They only want my name and my Valyrian blood for their offspring.

They tell us that Aegon looked across

They were engaged in behaviors

They're a power man should never have trifled with.

They're an extension of the crown.

They're going to bring the babe out now.

They're going to bring the babe out.

They're of great consequence

They're to be married as soon as he wins his knighthood.

This discomfort is how we serve the realm.

This family already has its Visenya.

This is a good thing. She knows your secret...

This is a lie.

This is a vile accusation.

This is an absurdity.

This is an equitable compromise.

This is clearly a rebuke for passing over Lady Laena for Queen Alicent.

This is our chance...

This is the last thing any of us wish to discuss

This is the last time,

This is why men wage war...

This is, um,

This knight will protect you as well.

This new City Watch

This secret...

This Triarchy much latitude

This was half a century ago, Princess.

This will cut the fog.

Those men and boys don't fawn over me.

Those men are tourney knights.

Those traditions are for the trueborn children of royalty,

Though I do suppose you seem changed by your adventures.

Though I do wish we could meet under happier pretenses.

Though I don't know why.

Threatened by childbirth.

Time will tell.

To an emergency session.

To answer is to give him what he wants.

To any who might yet doubt it.

To appoint a ruling queen at the Great Council

To await Your Grace's arrival.

To be at these games.

To be man and wife.

To be sung at feasts in a hundred years...

To be wielded at your whim.

To celebrate him being named the Hand of the King.

To celebrate the firstborn son

To choose an heir.

To choose violence, here, is to declare war against your King.

To combine the strength of our houses,

To discuss personal matters.

To entertain officers of the City Watch

To fear the color gold.

To fill his seat on the council

To flee their Valyrian pursuers.

To free the infant.

To haul away the resulting dismemberments

To have every young knight and lord

To hear of the Lady Rhea's tragic passing.

To his lady wife as he does his work, Your Grace.

To honor your wife in marriage.

To join our houses as they were in Old Valyria.

To join two souls as one.

To justice.

To know that I'm not alone in my grief.

To make an impossible choice.

To marry a nobleman from a great house

To prevent a war being fought over his succession.

To protect the King and the realm from him.

To question my virtue is an act of treason.

To question the virtue of the Princess,

To remind me of my low standing, Lord Corlys,

To sacrifice one...

To see if we might find common cause.

To show her people that they were finished running.

To strengthen your line and produce more heirs.

To tell a father of his daughter's exploits.

To the Iron Throne would satisfy him.

To the King's son.

To the second most powerful man in the realm.

To the Vale, to the City Watch,

To whichever lord has the biggest castle.

To whom, Your Grace?

To your lawful wife.

Tongues will not change the succession.

Tonight is only its beginning.

Tourneys last longer.

Try not to look too relieved, ser.

Turn around.

Two of the watchtowers along the Boneway.

Tyland Lannister: The Step stones were meant to be won for the realm,

Ugh, let us have the next

Ugh, most of the lords and knights

Uh...

Uh...

Um, the Dragonkeepers believe she made home

Um...

Umbas.

Unbecoming of a maiden...

Understood, Your Grace.

Unite the two great surviving Valyrian houses.

Unlike every other lord of the realm,

Until such time it is unavoidable.

Until the King decides to reclaim his ancestral seat.

Unwell? I haven't heard anything.

Upon my death, my throne and my titles will pass to her.

Upon the memory of my mother.

Upon their birth,

Very well.

Viserys, no! Please!

Viserys: You enter my bedchamber,

Viserys.

Waiting in the Stepstones

Wanting for a son.

War will follow, do you understand?

Warrior...

Was I the duck or the goose?

Was itself.

Was your solution!

We are the realm's second sons, Daemon.

We are very honored to have you as a guest, Ser Gerold.

We fucked our way through most of the brothels

We have royal wombs, you and I.

We haven't spoken much...

We honor the crown's oldest

We installed Prince Daemon as commander to promote law and order.

We must all mourn in our own way, Your Grace.

We must either act now or leave it with the gods.

We must learn to face it with a stiff lip.

We should be free to speak our minds to one another.

We should leech it again, maester.

We should make landfall inside the hour, Princess.

We should swear to each other to guard them,

We stand here tonight in thanks and praise

We sterling: I am relieved.

We thank you for your loyal service to The Crown, ser.

We were no dragonlords.

We were young men.

We would have to seek our own marriage pact.

We would like to know how the succession... will be handled.

We'll need leeches.

We're both men who have had to cut

We're leaving.

We've been passed over... too often.

We've sent enquiries to the Citadel.

Wed her to me.

Wed our daughter, Laena.

Welcome to Dragonstone, Otto.

Welcome to High Tide, Your Grace.

Well, certainly he's been misled.

Well, here you are, surrounded by attendants,

Well, I'd gladly give Lady Rhea to you,

Well, it is difficult to know.

Well, let us plan Ser Criston's investiture then.

Well, must I say it, Your Grace?

Well, my daughter is the future queen.

Well, one would hope so, considering the associated costs.

Well, perhaps when we are wed, we can make that true.

Well, speak it.

Well, the Princess and Ser Laenor.

Well, this is better than we could've hoped for.

Well, where is Lord Corlys?

Well, who else would have a claim?

Well, you flatter me, my Prince.

Were I born a man, I could bed whomever I wanted.

Were that to happen,

Were you with your uncle?

What a blessing this is for you.

What are you saying?

What behaviors?

What brings you to the Vale?

What details?

What did your mother tell you?

What do I say?

What do you know about this Ser Criston Cole, Ser Harrold?

What do you know of the matter of his leaving?

What do you mean?

What do you see?

What do you want?

What happiness it is to have been wrong.

What has she done?

What if I was to reject Lord Corlys's proposal?

What if you went to her?

What if your father were to remarry?

What in the Seven Hells is going on?

What is it?

What is the meaning of this, Lady Laena?

What lord will wed her now? In this condition?

What matter?

What misery.

What of it?

What reason does the Crabfeeder have to fear us?

What to say to you in the aftermath.

What vulture?

What was it like flying the Black Dread?

What will they say of me when the histories are written?

What will you do now?

What?

What?

What's today's quarry? Rabbit?

Whatever it is, it needs to be kept quiet.

Whatever may come.

Whatever may come.

Whatever transpired, Rhaenyra is not innocent.

Whatever you wish.

When I ascended the Driftwood Throne...

When I look at the fine knights in these lists,

When I offered up my crown, you said I could have anything.

When I took command of the Watch, you were stray mongrels...

When I wish to talk with him...

When I'm Queen, I will create a new order.

When it was done.

When my mother died...

When Old town calls its banners to war?

When one is never invited to speak,

When she honored my father and I...

When this Great Winter comes, Rhaenyra...

When we were Rhaenyra's age,

When you look at the dragons, what do you see?

Where I've seen the ships of Essos setting sail

Where is Laenor?

Where is Lord Corlys? He should be here to receive the King.

Where is the Queen?

Where the bloodmages worked their craft.

Where we'll be nameless,

Where your virtue could even come into question.

Where's the Queen?

Whether it's to my daughter or to someone else's,

Whether you speak of the Freehold

Which I believe might explain.

Which involves cutting directly into the womb

Which is why I sent for you.

Which no one else has the heart to tell you.

Which your house has made its home.

While his ship is readied.

While I'm in this condition.

While traveling through the Kingswood on his way to King's Landing,

Who are you?

Who did she take to husband?

Who do you think provides them with their ships and tender?

Who gives a fuck what some lord thinks?

Who is Lady Mysaria?

Who is responsible for this gossip?

Who made these claims to your father?

Who perches upon your throne?

Who will it be?

Who?

Whoa!

Whom I hold in highest regard,

Whomever may dare to challenge us.

Why do you destroy yourself?

Why?

Will be answered.

Will destroy the world of the living.

Will I be remembered as a good king, Lyonel?

Will inherit the Iron Throne from her.

Will not change your appetites,

Will now choose his first opponent!

Will stand as one for a further generation.

Will the maesters' name day prediction hold, Mellos?

Will unite the two most powerful houses in the realm.

Will you see the King tonight?

Will you strike the child down?

Winner of the melee at Cider Hall.

Winning tournaments...

Wishes to continue in a contest of arms!

With 10 adult dragons under its yoke.

With a formidable army.

With a son.

With Balerion

With every breath you soil your name,

With fists full of steel and balls full of seed,

With grit and luck.

With House Targaryen

With House Targaryen and H...

With Lord Corlys and Princess Rhaenys.

With no thought given to the yearning of your own heart,

With the combined strength of our shared dragons and naval fleets,

With the Free Cities...

With the help of the Hand,

With the Sea lord of Braavos.

With the strength of mine own back.

With the Targaryen dragons

With the traditions of my house,

With their hulls full of oranges and cinnamon

With their lord, Hobert High tower.

With this kind of unchecked impunity.

With three separate witnesses.

With two months remaining?

With you as my sworn protector, my white knight.

With your most trusted adviser so self interested?

Within the Free Cities who wish to see Westeros weakened.

Without challenge.

Without even a protest from The Crown.

Without her...

Without risking the child.

Without them, we're just like everyone else.

Woman: (whispers) It's Daemon.

Wonderful.

Would certainly signal unity throughout the realm

Would like to make haste in finding

Would not inherit the Iron Throne.

Would you like to see the tapestries? (laughs)

Would you tread it?

Wouldn't you agree, Lord Strong?

Yeah. (clears throat)

Years have passed since the business with his daughter.

Yes, it was.

Yes, well...

Yes, Your Grace.

Yes.

Yes... I am.

Yet everything I've given you, you've thrown back in my face.

Yet still,

Yet you sit here and dither about court business.

Yield.

You all right? Are you?

You and I both own a small piece of our ancestry.

You appear to be every young maiden's dream.

You are a plague... sent to destroy me.

You are Daemon Targaryen.

You are her sworn protector and rightly loyal to her.

You are inclined to pity...

You are my only heir.

You are my political headache!

You are no conqueror.

You are not proposing the Targaryen dynasty end with my daughter

You are right... but you were born a woman.

You are Targaryen.

You are the dragon. Your word is truth and law.

You are the King.

You are the King.

You are the King...

You are the man that taught me how to be King.

You are the very best of your mother.

You are to explain your doings with the City Watch.

You are to return to Runestone and your lady wife at once,

You aren't worried about your position?

You believe he lied?

You can afford to play

You can either sail into it

You can save the child?

You can say whatever you'd like.

You can show the realm

You cannot believe such gossip.

You cannot worry at the matters of lords and kings, Rhaenyra.

You chose Rhaenyra.

You could have Baratheon's tongue for that.

You could marry me.

You could not ask for a stronger match than Laena.

You could've been killed.

You defiled her.

You do have such an easy way about you, Your Grace.

You do not mention our talks to Rhaenyra, do you?

You do understand

You don't know me, Ser Criston.

You don't like me to go flying while you're in any condition.

You finished?

You fled King's Landing without a word

You fucking...

You have a far kinder touch than they do.

You have a son.

You have been lied to.

You have confided in me now and then

You have dragonriders, father.

You have exposed yourself.

You have made a fine match for the Princess.

You have no allies at court but me!

You have ruined her!

You haven't spoken a word to me since

You honor both me and my house, Your Grace.

You know better than anyone, it was no accident.

You know how my brother makes sport of provoking you.

You know I don't like you to go flying

You know it.

You know more than a bit.

You know, in King's Landing,

You made a vow before the Seven

You may go.

You might thank him for his leal service, Princess.

You might wear one of your mother's dresses.

You might wither in King's Landing's sun.

You mightn't know this unless you left the safety of the Red Keep,

You must understand that these things

You never were one to stay idle.

You overheard?

You paint such an aspirant portrait of my reign, Lord Corlys.

You saw combat in the Stormlands.

You served my grand sire nobly in his final days.

You should also consider that we find ourselves

You should be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

You should choose.

You should know that you're failing, Princess.

You should wed Laena Velaryon, Your Grace.

You sit upon the highest seat in the realm, Your Grace.

You speak of The Conqueror's vision

You spend more time in that bath than I do on the throne.

You stink of dragon.

You swore to protect me, Daemon.

You take care, boy.

You Targaryens do have queer customs.

You think yourself a cunning man.

You want him to have a son?

You wanted to believe her, as did her father.

You wear a crown.

You went from being another man in Jaehaerys's court,

You went to Dragonstone.

You were a faithful servant, Otto.

You were always mother's favorite.

You were Balerion's last rider.

You were robbed of the crown by...

You were.

You will address me as "Your Grace,"

You will learn.

You will lie in this bed soon enough, Rhaenyra.

You will not.

You will wed Ser Laenor Velaryon,

You would sentence me mercifully to death.

You'll get used to the attention.

You'll need to kill me.

You're a fool.

You're a pack of hounds.

You're always like this when you're worried.

You're going to be all right.

You're no fool, and yet you choose not to see it.

You're perhaps in need of an ally?

You're right... as always.

You're safe with me, I swear it.

You're sated and honed for the hunt.

You're the most comely girl at court.

You're to relinquish the dragon's egg,

You're weak... Viserys.

You're worried your father is about to overshadow you

You've been summoned.

You've come for the egg.

You've heard of the troubles in the Stepstones?

You've matured yourself these last four years, Princess.

You've not been seen in the Vale

You've only ever tried to send me away.

You've yet to ask me for the truth of what happened.

Your betrothed gives you leave

Your brother made a public show of it,

Your child.

Your courtship is at an end.

Your days shall be easy

Your designs are obvious.

Your father accused me of something.

Your father loves you.

Your father was a good man.

Your father will remarry sooner than late.

Your fleet is one of the realm's

Your future Queen...

Your Grace, but my brother has sent disturbing word from Old town.

Your Grace, I've called the Small Council

Your Grace, Princess Rhaenyra,

Your Grace, sister, you must know I would,

Your Grace?

Your Grace?

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace.

Your Grace...

Your Hand.

Your house, and your brother's reign.

Your informant was wrong.

Your interests no longer align with those of the realm.

Your judgment has been compromised.

Your mother's absence

Your new "gold cloaks" made quite the impression last night, didn't they?

Your own lady wife passed recently.

Your presence is always such a pleasure, Lord Jason.

Your Prince will speak!

Your Queen is a strong woman.

Your stupid games with the King,

Your wedding to Ser Laenor Velaryon

Yourself.

"The Queen Who Never Was"? Rhaenys was the only child

An army 2,000 strong. An army you gave him, Otto.

An unwavering and loyal Hand? A cunt.

And Daemon certainly knows no limit. Alicent...

And kept the realm strong. (King Viserys sighs)

and now you send your Kings guard down... Answer me.

Are you well? Very.

As I was once yours? (Daemon chuckles)

bedding a woman. We are placing our son in danger.

Best get on with it. (horse neighs)

breaches, or rather lapses... It happened, Your Grace.

Brother. Daemon.

but I did not foresee this! You should have.

but not for the throne. (soft chuckle)

But the resulting blood loss... Seven Hells, Mellos.

Come. (door opens)

Come. (door opens)

Corlys: (shouts) Stop this! Where's Rhaenyra?

Craven. Crowd: Ooh!

Daemon: Hey! Stop! Boy!

Daemon. The Prince left a missive,

Deer. Oh. Fine challenge.

Do something for her! We've given her as much

Do you know where she nests? I'm sorry?

Don't they know dragons prefer heat? Hm.

Drunkard: Fuck off, boy. (Rhaenyra gasps)

either by design or by accident... "Design"?

Fetch the maester! I'm fine.

gifted to you by Norvos and Qohor. Oh, oh.

Good day, Ser Criston. My Lady.

Good morrow, Lady Rhea. Cousin.

Good night, Ser Criston. Sleep well, Princess.

Harrold We sterling: Fetch the Maester! Lyonel Strong: Get back.

He and Rhaenyra are walking the coast. Good.

He was chosen for you. That's true.

He was told that you... Told?

Hm. With wanton violence.

How is His Grace? Very low.

How so? Daemon's wife,

I came to you to be liberated. Liberated.

I do not know specifically... What, your father did not tell you?

I don't. Good...

I have no shortage of allies. Naturally.

I I should alert the Lord Commander. No.

I know it sounds foolish. I don't think it's foolish.

I know who it is. Hm?

I only meant that we should at least Otto: Perhaps, uh...

I recall it all too well. Yeah...

I slept. How long?

I suppose I see us. Tell me.

Pride? Justice.

Queen Aemma: Oh no. It's all right.

Rhaenys: The gods are cruel. King Viserys: Indeed.

Where are you going? Home. The hour has grown late.
