House of the Dragon (2022) - Season 1 Edit

A boy, Princess.

A boy. I've just heard.

A certain insolence runs in the family, I'm afraid.

A charming contest,

A comfort and an anguish,

A credit to the work of both Jaehaerys and Viserys,

A dashing knight, and a dragon rider.

A decision I most bitterly regret.

A deviant...

A dragon? How?

A dragon's egg is a handsome gift.

A fair match isn't something anyone should expect.

A few months, maybe...

A fine Prince.

A folly?

A futility?

A garrison of soldiers sent to hold our ground.

A generous offer.

A giant, they say,

A good, honest battle to enliven my blood again.

A king should honor the traditions of his forbears.

A Knight of the Kingsguard in the, in the defense of your

A lapse of morals

A little adventure.

A little bit to your left.

A living challenger invites battle and bloodshed.

A male babe born to me...

A marriage for love,

A matter has arisen that requires your attention.

A moment.

A most judicious proposition.

A mountain stronghold or a fleet of ships.

A murderer...

A new day for our city...

A new day for our realm.

A new king... to lead us.

A privilege he did not grant my son.

A prize to proffer about to the great houses?

A proposal I wish to make

A proposal to which I heartily agree.

A quick death.

A rare bloom.

A regal portent for Prince Aegon's name day.

A sacrifice made for the stability of the realm.

A ship made to look as if it were abandoned.

A simple transaction.

A spider who stings and sucks her prey dry.

A spoiled cunt.

A symbol of our goodwill.

A toast to Aegon the Conqueror, your exalted forebear,

A toast to the young Princes...

A traitor to the crown.

A true queen counts the cost to her people.

A truly great Targaryen King I am.

A what?

A whore.

A word?

Ability does not alter his claim.

Act in the interest of our subjects.

Additionally, if Syrax brings forth another clutch of eggs,

Addled on milk of the poppy

Aegon must be found, and he must be brought to me.

Aegon Targaryen is the true heir to the Iron Throne.

Aegon the Conqueror given the chance.

Aegon the Conqueror united the Seven Kingdoms

Aegon will be king.

Aegon will be king.

Aegon, like his namesake,

Aegon: No! Let me go!

Aegon.

Aegon. (exhales)

Aegon... ordered that the trees should be...

Aegon's Dream.

Aemond called our sons bastards.

Aemond has been damaged, permanently, My King.

Aemond is your brother.

Aemond, we have a surprise for you.

Aemond: Aegon brought me to the Street of Silk

Aemond: He could be in the hands of mercenaries,

Aemond: Here I am, trawling the city, ever the good soldier

Aemond: Hm.

Aemond: Then you should've claimed her!

Aemond.

Aemond's as well.

After all this time, this is just what I need,

After how many times you've been warned,

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

Again.

Again.

Against the cold... and the dark.

Ah, the Kings wood, it's fine hunting ground.

Ah!

Ah!

Ah!

Ah... Viserys.

Ahh, yes. Terrible thing.

Aid is sailing to the Step stones.

Aid Pentos in this, as Aegon once did...

Alicent and Otto... they see to all that business now.

Alicent Hightower.

Alicent, this matter... is finished.

Alicent: Have the decency to look grateful.

Alicent: If the King will not seek justice, the Queen will.

Alicent: The insult was training yard bluster.

Alicent: The serving girl.

Alicent!

Alicent.

Alicent...

All but confessed the truth himself.

All hail His Grace, Aegon,

All know it.

All of you, move forward!

All of you!

All that I have, I owe to you.

All the lords of the kingdom would do well to remember that.

All true.

All you have to do is ask.

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!

All: Long live the King.

Allow your temper to guide your judgment.

Allun Caswell: Let go of me!

Allun: (faintly) Who do you think you are?

Allun: Do you know who I am?

Allun: Let go of me!

Ally ourselves...

Alone and angry.

Along its threads travels news of all our doings.

Along with its farms and lands,

Along with those of the other claimants on the morrow.

Already the word is spreading, the gossip speculating that I've gone mad.

Also bears a marked but entirely coincidental

Am I a bastard?

Am I to understand that members of the small council

Among the natives.

An honest mistake, perhaps,

An oath of chastity. I've broken it.

An obscenity

An offering of flesh to bait the crab.

An outrage.

And 2,000 men to set sail from King's Landing

And a thousand tribulations besides.

And a warrior.

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

And after tonight's small affair...

And again.

And all here accede to this.

And all other matters.

And as men, I hope we may yet be friends and allies.

And at my end, I want to die a dragonrider's death.

And Baela...

And beg for Laenor's hand.

And burned a fleet of enemy ships, thus turning the tide.

And by extension Jace,

And by extension my own claim to the throne.

And carry Blackfyre, his sword.

And centuries of tradition

And certainly no nephew of mine.

And clear out the Triarchy for good.

And describe him.

And disinherit our son?

And does this not please you?

And draw support to her claim.

And duty, Rhaenyra!

And ensured my husband's favor will forever rest on her.

And escort him back to the family seat at Harrenhal.

And even he has abandoned you:

And every fishwife in King's Landing will soon be telling the tale.

And feel herself well compensated

And Fi

And fiercest ally, House Velaryon.

And fills me with sorrow

And for any offense given by mine, I apologize.

And for me to marry my only daughter to one of her...

And for that, she has my gratitude...

And forced to defend themselves.

And free...

And gods be damned...

And half its dragons.

And has sent out the hounds.

And having me tortured...

And he denied her.

And he has hastened to the Hall of Nine

And he is the heir to the wealthiest house in the realm.

And he sees a big, scary dragon!

And he's welcome to them.

And her royal consort, Prince Daemon Targaryen.

And her sons will be heirs to the throne.

And his lady wife, Princess Rhaenys Targaryen.

And honestly can't recall much of that either.

And House Velaryon united,

And how have you served the realm of late,

And I believed her.

And I have played my part here, faithfully...

And I have tried often

And I must stand alone.

And I promise you, in time, you and I together will prevail.

And I put it on his table, and when I turned

And I so wanted it to be true,

And I trusted him.

And I try so...

And I will not believe that he said this

And I would remedy that...

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

And if Rhaenyra succeeds him,

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

And it grows ever darker.

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

And Jason Lannister is an excellent match.

And Joffrey.

And landed knights swore fealty to the Princess.

And let it be known:

And let us betroth Laena's children to mine.

And light his way to wisdom.

And long before that,

And look at what my life became without you.

And lured it to the Dragonpit?

And made a spectacle. They whisper about me in the corridors.

And make me a proud grand sire.

And Master of Casterly Rock.

And more than you would believe.

And my apology.

And my children.

And my daughter and heir, the Princess Rhaenyra.

And my father

And my gratitude will fill your cup and overflow it.

And my obsession killed Rhaenyra's mother.

And naming her heir would begin to set things right.

And no one else saw what happened between the two of you.

And now he's dead.

And now I ride Vhagar, the largest in the world.

And now it comes.

And now it is the good of the family that we both desire.

And now she expects us to ignore her transgressions

And now the debt comes due.

And now you know hers.

And now you take my son's eye,

And now, for the first time,

And on this day of all days.

And one we will certainly entertain.

And our enemies won't.

And petition Lady Jeyne myself.

And Protector of the Realm.

And push.

And put their horses to graze in his field.

And put them on a path...

And remove your white cloaks.

And see to it the cook

And Ser Laenor Velaryon, the heir to Driftmark.

And Ser Laenor will make a fine husband.

And serve her as king consort.

And she...

And surely by the end of this hunt,

And swore obeisance to her.

And the Age of Dragons.

And the extent to which we exploit those

And the First Men,

And the foal, when it was born,

And the heir to the Driftwood Throne.

And the installation in its stead of various statues and stars?

And the match you battled so hard to make for her.

And the neighboring stallion sired a foal on her.

And the realm will whisper that I was somehow responsible.

And the Triarchy's new alliance with Dorne.

And the Velaryon line.

And their secrets,

And their son and heir, Ser Laenor Velaryon,

And their true father will not abandon them now

And then he evades me, my Lord.

And then there is Daemon to consider.

And there is a p There is a petition to decide upon the succession of Driftmark

And this weaver watches me?

And this... is Viserys.

And though I believe you are not to blame,

And to even that, you feel entitled.

And to secure her claim,

And to strengthening our house as we prepare you for your ascension.

And to Vaemond Velaryon, may the gods give him rest.

And to your loyalty.

And two pairs of legs on each.

And until there is one...

And we can't find him, Cole.

And we felt badly about it,

And we love our children.

And we now have his trail.

And we will say that is how we will honor Laena's memory.

And what do you propose?

And what is that, pray tell.

And what they know, what everyone in the realm knows

And what treachery is that?

And when it's done...

And when would I be doing that?

And when your father named me to his Kings guard,

And where were you going then with such urgency?

And where, I wonder, is our Prince Daemon?

And while I should like your support,

And who will take the Driftwood Throne?

And why have you paid it?

And why is that so, do you think?

And will be lord of Harren's castle one day.

And yet it is a dark day for the realm.

And yet today, you publicly assaulted

And yet you toil still in service to men.

And yet you treat it as one.

And yet, I have seen blood fever overcome men half his age.

And yet, with his final breath,

And yet, you made it possible.

And you almost took your own head off.

And you are usurping the throne.

And you forbade me to speak of it, so I held my tongue.

And you have duties.

And you have my nose, don't you?

And you install your grandson on the throne,

And you know it.

And you know what happens to girls like that.

And you still wouldn't recognize it.

And you thought you could swing Criston's morningstar.

And you will be her king consort.

And you, boy?

And you...

And your grandsire.

And?

And... now the day comes.

Another boy, I heard.

Another lord might assure me that I would rise like

Anyone fool enough to challenge Rhaenyra's claim

Anyone whose tongue dares to question the birth

Archers hold the high positions,

Are gathered at the Red Keep.

Are no more

Are you asking for leave?

Are you confessing some guilt, Ser Gerold?

Are you in very much pain?

Are you mad?

Are you sure it wasn't our Aegon who put them up to it?

Aren't you gonna help me?

Arms!

As a clement Queen,

As a matter of fact, the Princess Rhaenyra has just informed me of her desire

As a monument to his own greatness.

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

As befits your royal station.

As Hand, I speak with the King's voice on this

As heir to Driftmark,

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

As I did.

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

As I think do you.

As I well remember.

As I'm often reminded.

As if they will keep you from the dust.

As is my lord husband's desire.

As is yours who took his place.

As it does in my sons, the offspring of Laenor Velaryon.

As it was after the Conquest.

As our maesters.

As Prince Aegon has with Sunfyre.

As things stand...

As to your match...

As vivid as these flames, I saw it.

As we join together in celebration.

As we've previously discussed.

As will Driftmark...

As you instructed, Lord Hand.

As your Princess and the heir to the throne,

As your protector, my Queen.

Assaulted the Princess.

At any moment, they may turn their sights north.

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

At least in principle?

At least that's what I understood him to mean.

At once, Your Grace.

At one time.

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...

Away from all of this.

Away from violence and sure destruction

Back Luke's claim,

Back to the Dragonpit for you two.

Badly, by all accounts.

Baela said you might be here.

Baela will be Queen of the Seven Kingdoms

Baela: (whispers) Jace, Jace.

Baela's dragon was born to her.

Bastards.

Be careful, good brother.

Be good to your mother, lads.

Be quick and be clean.

Be seated.

Be sure to mount her carefully.

Be welcome,

Be welcome.

Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel,

Because he didn't like me.

Because I laid my hands on that insufferable Cole,

Because I no longer believed...

Because if those are kept safe...

Because it is a war started by two malcontents,

Because it was my sworn duty, Arryk.

Because the realm would not have it so.

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

Because you are my daughter...

Before he

Before I spoke my vows as a knight of the Kings guard,

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

Before they know you've gone.

Begging your pardon for the turn of phrase, Your Grace.

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

Believe what to be true, my King?

Believed what, my love?

Best to make your way through life unencumbered...

Between my daughter,

Between our families of late, my Queen.

Beyond these dunes.

Black like a raven.

Blades up.

Blood mixed into the mortar.

Blood or no, Vaemond,

Bought the finest horses,

Bring him to me, and me alone, Ser Erryk.

Bring him.

Bring me the eye of Lucerys Velaryon.

Bring milk of the poppy.

Bring my granddaughter with you to soften my resolve.

Brother! Ahh!

Brother?

Brother.

Brother.

Burn the fucking Triarchy cunts alive!

But a sacrifice we must make to secure Aegon's succession.

But alas, common born.

But be assured, the Father is just and commands me

But do you think I would choose infamy

But for them, you surrender what you should not.

But he has four daughters, all of them unmarried.

But he has left us a gift.

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

But he's a big lad.

But he's been expelled from the City Watch.

But his king does not mean to allow that.

But I am toothless.

But I at least make the effort to maintain appearances.

But I cannot restore his eye.

But I cannot say for a surety whether it lives.

But I could not defend my dear sister

But I gained a dragon.

But I have fond memories of our shared youth.

But I have not, mayhaps...

But I must admit that no one has stood...

But I recommit myself to you.

But I swear to you now, on your mother's memory,

But I will speak the truth we both know.

But if the gods did wish to show their favor.

But if you ever wish to know what it is to be well satisfied,

But if you wish to be a rider,

But if...

But in the world, we must defend our own.

But it is also the most joyous of days...

But it needn't be.

But it never came again.

But it was a pig.

But it's not a king who sits the Iron Throne these days, good sister.

But Laena's are.

But let them pass with the years.

But Lord of the Tides rules the sea.

But love stays the hand.

But my station was never high enough

But my, um...

But now, he will be useless.

But set aside your grievances.

But she must believe it is her choice to do so.

But tell me, for the King's suffering,

But that may be some time.

But the best spot is to be found at Casterly Rock,

But the burden is a heavy one.

But the crown is not at war.

But the eye is lost, Your Grace.

But the greater concern is the fever that followed.

But the Hand is compromised by the acts of his son.

But the threat of war looms and may arrive on our shores.

But their sell swords have been

But then, I realized...

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

But there is a shadow over my house

But they just retreat within the caves.

But they will be weeks away.

But this morning he insisted on eating

But to make a window in the wall of your prison.

But to no avail.

But tomorrow, the Hightowers land their first blow.

But tonight you know, and I do not.

But tonight...

But we are both deeply invested in this union.

But we are one house.

But we have been lax and the old monster now lifts its head.

But we may guide the men that do.

But we must be honest with ourselves.

But what I worry about...

But what of the Velaryon line?

But you are more than this, Daemon.

But you stood tall.

But you will not decide the future of mine.

But you, you did not choose him.

But you're sworn to protect him.

But you've refused me at every turn.

But your devotion has not gone unnoticed.

But your father.

But your subjects must fear you.

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

But...

But... here we are.

By all accounts.

By all rights,

By all rights,

By naming me heir, you divided the realm.

By way of the blade.

Call Vermax to heel, Prince Jacaerys.

Can I presume that,

Can I say it?

Can someone tell me

Care for some company?

Cast down your sword.

Cast you aside in favor of a little girl.

Casterly Rock is a splendid seat.

Ceira Lannister: Lady Johanna was reported to have been abducted

Ceira: She's to be sold to a pillow house

Chestnut.

Close with him.

Come at me again and I'll feed you to my dragon!

Come on, come on.

Come on!

Come out and face me, Drahar!

Come out, Drahar!

Come, cousin.

Come, eat.

Come, sweet Prince.

Commander: Guards!

Commander: Halt!

Commander: Present...

Compared to the abuse your brother suffered

Congratulations are in order.

Congratulations, stepdaughter.

Congratulations, Your Grace.

Content to hunt and study his histories,

Continue.

Corlys Velaryon: Both my seat and High Tide

Corlys Velaryon: I congratulate you, Lord Lyonel.

Corlys Velaryon: We have 16, perhaps 18, seaworthy ships.

Corlys: A most surprising end.

Corlys: Who?

Corlys: You flatter me, Your Grace.

Cousin!

Craven!

Criston Cole will be named Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

Criston Cole: It seems you were mistaken as to Aegon's habits.

Criston Cole: Princess, wait!

Criston Cole: Young prince was attacked by his own cousins, Your Grace.

Criston: The crown of the Conqueror,

Crone...

Crowd: Aegon the King! Long live Aegon!

Cruelty...

Daemon and The Sea Snake started their war

Daemon did what he thought best.

Daemon has driven the men hard.

Daemon is thorn enough in my flesh.

Daemon made his choices, Lady Ceira.

Daemon only ever does what is best for Daemon.

Daemon: A tyrant rules only through terror.

Daemon: And how exactly is that wisdom expressed...

Daemon: If the King isn't feared, he is powerless.

Daemon: Let them whisper.

Daemon: Then grant him this kindness.

Daemon: Wait, wait!

Daemon: We will know the truth of it

Daemon?

Daemon.

Dare I say it is a matter of taste?

Darilaros nuhys

Dark rumors are hunting us, Laenor.

Declare it now, while all are gathered here,

Deeply.

Defiled.

Deliver him, and we'll consider your price.

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

Devoted to you.

Did I say to stop?

Did sleep flee you as well this morning?

Did the maesters also prescribe

Did you enjoy the hunt, Your Grace?

Did you love her?

Did you not?

Did you witness the act itself?

Didn't know I was being so minutely observed.

Do it.

Do keep trying, Ser Laenor.

Do my senses lead me astray?

Do not forget yourself, Vaemond.

Do not mourn me, Mother.

Do not speak of this again.

Do Ser Vaemond the courtesy of allowing his to be heard.

Do they seem... familiar?

Do you expect the King to doom his dear daughter to exile,

Do you have dragons to offer?

Do you know what color it glows

Do you know what has been done to give you this day?

Do you know what's happened...

Do you know...

Do you never long for home?

Do you not think my decision correct?

Do you not think yourself Strong?

Do you see now what he is?

Do you think Rhaenyra's sons will be your playthings forever?

Do you think that House Targaryen wants for strength?

Do you think the realm will ever accept me as their Queen?

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Do you want me to kill him?

Do you wish to hear my opinion on the matter?

Does not have to be the end.

Does the babe have a name yet?

Does your brother mention if this one

Dohaeras, Vhagar! Lykiri!

Dohaeras, Vhagar! Soves!

Don't let him get up.

Don't play the fool with me, boy.

Don't stand too upright, my Prince. You'll get knocked down.

Don't you?

Dracarys, Vermax!

Dracarys!

Dracarys!

Dracarys!

Dracarys!

Dracarys!

Dracarys.

Dracarys.

Dragons can circle Bloodstone until they fall out of the sky.

Dragons of flesh

Dragons will rule the Seven Kingdoms

Dranot vilinio viartis.

Dranot.

Dranot. At the end?

Dranot. Come on, Jace.

Dranot. Dranot.

Draw.

Driftmark is mine by all rights.

Drunk the rarest of wines,

Dyana. What a pretty name.

Each of them handsome, wise...

Each of us dines as we see fit.

Each of us is capable of depravity.

Either tolerated or ignored by the crown.

Either you prepare Aegon to rule,

Eldest son against eldest son.

Engage.

Enough!

Entertaining his young squires, I would venture.

Erryk Cargyll: About 10 years, I should say.

Erryk: Out of my way! (grunting)

Erryk: Out of the way!

Erryk: She sold you for a price.

Especially on a day like today?

Even I do not know their number.

Even if I'm not.

Even now, at the cost of our children.

Even old bronze cunts like you.

Even Targaryens.

Even the mercenaries can see that it is a losing effort.

Every woman is an image of the Mother,

Everyone knows.

Everything that House Targaryen possesses is owed to it.

Everything you feel for me... as your Queen.

Exalted though they may be.

Except sometimes when he's drunk.

Excuse me, Your Grace.

Excuse me.

Exhausting, wasn't it?

Extends beyond the Seven Kingdoms

Familiarity is not at issue.

Far from home and in agony.

Father ignores me.

Father, please may I hold Joffrey?

Father.

Father...

Father...

Feed the weaver.

Feet light.

Final tribute.

Find one that pleases you,

Fire is a prison.

Fire is such strange power.

Fire! I will burn!

First flight's always rough.

First of his name, King of the Andals,

Five hundred.

Flung from every corner of the realm.

Foot soldiers hold the ground.

For 10 years, you have indulged yourself at court,

For 10 years.

For a formal betrothal.

For all her faults, she is your sister,

For an act of the gods.

For as his spirit left us...

For as long as House Targaryen has ruled the skies,

For her loss in station.

For her, her husband, and for their heirs.

For his grandson Lucerys

For our insatiable pride.

For the murder of his daughter!

For the next hundred years,

For the, the Festival of the Mother,

For you and your granddaughters to pass on as you see fit.

For you, for her, for the children!

For your crimes, you've been sentenced to death by hanging.

For your husband to wish to win it back?

For your son, Lucerys Velaryon.

For your troubles.

Forever upholding the kingdom, the family, the law.

Forgive me, Lord Hand. I do not know.

Forgive me, Your Grace, it is not.

Fortify yourselves for the journey.

Found Aegon first?

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

Frightfully dull, gods love him.

From the beginning.

From the burdens and indignities of your inheritance.

From this chamber and sent to the Wall!

From Vaemond Velaryon.

Fuck you, Prince Drahar!

Fuck your whore mother and bastard father!

Fuck.

Fucked the lustiest boys.

Further strengthening the bond between our houses.

Generous proposal.

Gently...

Gerold: In the Vale,

Get away!

Get back!

Get dressed.

Get Helaena.

Get to bed.

Give your enemies no quarter.
