00:25DUTY
00:26Duty is sacrifice.
00:27price. It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honour must pay its price.
00:41The North owes a great duty to the Seven Kingdoms, one older than any oath. Since the days of
00:48the First Men, we have stood as guardians against the cold and the dark. Through its
00:55long tradition, the Night's Watch cultivated its strength from doomed men who had their
00:59life as their only possession. But my ancestor, Torren Stark, began a tradition by making
01:05an offering at the onset of winter. One in ten men from our household was to be chosen to
01:12fortify the Watch. This is not a sentence, but an honour. A duty embraced by all who serve
01:23the North, even by mine own kin. The North must stand ready. Winter is coming.
01:36Coming? What is this, then, that falls from the skies and shivers my bones?
01:40This is only a late summer snow, my Prince. In winter it will cover all you see, and all
01:45memories of warmth will be forgotten. It pleases me to think that over a century
01:50ago our ancestors treated in this very place. The Conqueror and the King in the North.
01:57You, at least, had the mercy not to threaten me with your dragon.
02:14Surely the great Torren Stark would have sooner died than bent the knee, unless he believed
02:19the Conqueror could bring unity to the Seven Kingdoms.
02:23You are right in that.
02:24That unity is now threatened. The realm will soon tear itself apart, if men do not remember
02:31the oath sworn to King Viserys and to his rightful heir.
02:35The Starks do not forget their oaths, my Prince. But you must know that my gaze is forever torn
02:41between North and South. In winter, my duty to the Wall is even more dire than the one I owe
02:47to King's Landing. I need my men here.
02:50While straw men guard against wildlings and weather, the High Tower is planned to usurp
02:54the throne. If my mother is to defend her claim, to hold the realm united, she needs an army.
03:00War is coming. To the whole of the realm, my lord, we cannot wage it without the support
03:05of the North.
03:13My father brought King Jaehaerys and Queen Alysanne to see the Wall. His grace stood at this
03:19very outlook and watched as their dragons, the greatest power in the world, refused to cross
03:25it. Do you think my ancestors built a 700 foot wall of ice to keep out snow and savages?
03:34What does it keep out? Death.
03:45I have thousands of Greybeards who have already seen too many winters. They are well honed,
03:53so they're old. I can ready them to match at once. If your Greybeards can fight, the Queen
03:59will have them. They will fight hard. Like northerners.
04:05My lord. The raven's arrived. Urgent news from Dragonstone.
04:39The raven's arrived. The raven's arrived. I gave him that he said...
04:43Rush? All back. Take your mount again... we're flying out.
04:54I alone patrol over a hundred miles of open sea, endlessly, to hold the blockade.
05:01Malus must gorge and rest, as must I.
05:05We're going to King's Landing.
05:06To what end?
05:07Killing Vhagar. I cannot face that hoary old bitch alone.
05:11With my dragon and yours together, we can kill Vhagar and her rider.
05:15Make it a son for a son.
05:18Is this the Queen's command?
05:20The Queen remains absent.
05:21I should be at Harrenor, bending knees, but I must instead remain here to wage her war.
05:25Or perhaps more simply, to await her return.
05:28She has been gone for days. Too long she is exposed.
05:31She is grieving.
05:32The Mother grieves as the Queen shirks her duties.
05:36It was a raven that bore me news of Lena's death.
05:40I existed for weeks, in torment, refusing to believe what I'd been told.
05:48It was only when I saw my daughter's mortal remains.
05:51I knew that I could begin to mourn her.
05:55A raven has told Rhaenyra that her son is dead.
05:59She needs to know it for certain.
06:00She was a fool to go alone.
06:03What if Aemond were to happen upon her?
06:05Then I would pity Aemond.
06:08The Queen was wise to recuse herself.
06:11She's not acted on the vengeful impulse that others might have.
06:16If you'd have acted when you had the chance, Aegon's line would be extinguished.
06:23And Luke would be alive.
06:31Fly with me.
06:33It is a command.
06:34And he hoped.
06:35It would that she were the king.
06:44Let's go.
07:21Let's go.
07:40The Lord.
07:43It's a marvel she was able to return from the Stepstones at all.
07:48Barely done, but done.
07:50Seven more ships put out to sea this morning to fortify the blockade.
07:54The gullet is fast, and we are not likely to have the numbers to cover all that open water.
08:00I must have my ship back at sea, to lead the effort.
08:03There will be many weeks yet, I'd word you.
08:07But I'll have a word with my brother, to see what reinforcements the shipwrights can muster.
08:20The smithy delivered this earlier.
08:25The Lord.
08:34I had this commissioned for Prince Luceris.
08:39I was very sorry to hear about your heir's death.
08:42It was the blackest of treacheries.
08:47By the Lord.
08:49It will please you.
08:50Much to do.
08:52They tell me that you're the one that dragged my body out of the sea.
08:59It was only my duty.
09:05I am indebted to you.
09:06Alan.
09:08I am indebted to you.
09:11Alan.
09:11Alan.
09:13Let's go.
09:43Line your posts. Keep your focus, men.
09:53Dragon!
09:55Arm the scorpion!
10:01Bring it around!
10:03Let us elevation!
10:07Scorpion Renee!
10:09Hold!
10:13Stand down! He's my guard!
10:15Stand down!
10:16Stand down!
10:17Let's go!
10:42Where is Scheheraz?
10:45Attending his lessons.
10:48And those are where?
10:49What do you need of him?
10:51Taking him to the small council.
10:53He'll be king one day, he must begin his instruction.
10:56What if he does not want to be king?
10:59Where is he?
11:00The library.
11:01You must not interrupt his custom.
11:10I'm afraid.
11:13Don't be.
11:15They'd be fools to come with Vhagar protecting the city.
11:17Not the dragons.
11:20The rats.
11:29The queen is an enduring mystery.
11:32Is she not?
11:44People are going to come, you, well, not the other one.
11:45Oh, no, no!
11:53Come.
11:55How are you?
11:56Come.
12:01Come.
12:04There's a chill in the air.
12:09Summer is well and truly through.
12:13We are expected at the small council, your grace.
12:29We cannot. Again.
12:35Yes, your grace.
12:41If you wouldn't mind.
12:42I don't know.
12:42I don't know.
12:57I don't know.
13:05I don't know.
13:12Good day.
13:13Good day.
13:18I hope Ares must learn the ways to court if he is to rule one day.
13:25Good morrow, my lords.
13:27Mother.
13:30What news?
13:32Our letters to the Vale and to the North continue to go unanswered.
13:37Counts.
13:40The Stormlands should be ours after Prince Eamon's marriage pact to the Lady Floris Baratheon.
13:45I anticipate their sworn declaration.
13:48My brother is raising the strength of the West to master the Golden Tooth, but we...
13:54Thank you, my prince.
13:55That's very helpful.
13:57My nephew Lord Ormond musters his forces to sully forth from Oldtown.
14:01They expect to march quickly, meeting little resistance, until they reach the Riverlands.
14:06My letters to Rhaenyra.
14:07Has there been any answer?
14:08An apology for her dead son?
14:10None, your grace.
14:12Between that and their blockade of the Gullet, we must presume that the princess has refused the offered terms.
14:17And that war is now inevitable.
14:20Perhaps your grace might lend his voice to our outreach.
14:22Enough!
14:24In hopes that new terms might be negotiated.
14:26Release it at once.
14:28Would someone please...
14:29Is the heir to the throne bothering you, Tyland?
14:33No.
14:34No, not in the least, your grace.
14:36Because I think he wants a ride.
14:38Your grace?
14:39A ride.
14:39A pony ride.
14:41Wouldn't that be fun, Jaehaerys?
14:42Should the master of coin be your royal steed?
14:52Your grace.
14:55There are important matters to discuss.
14:58Despite Sir Tyland's interruptions.
15:01Very well.
15:03No time for amusements, Tyland.
15:06Oh, Chris.
15:08Off you go, Jaehaerys.
15:10Good boy.
15:13Where were we?
15:16Rhaenyra's blockade has placed King's Landing under strain, and those pressures will multiply quickly.
15:22Well, we should have just killed her when we had the chance.
15:24Regrettably, the opportunity for surprise has been lost, and with it the chance to end this conflict quickly.
15:31We must play the board before us.
15:34If we are to break the Sea Snake's blockade, we will need to bolster both the Lannister and Hightower Navius.
15:39We do have need for a new master of ships.
15:41We could offer the title to the young Lord Dalton Greyjoy.
15:44Aemond.
15:44What is your business here?
15:46The King summoned me.
15:47You do not have a seat at this council.
15:49Aemond is my closest blood and our best sword. I welcome him.
15:53The path to King's Landing is through the Riverlands. We must establish a toehold there. At Harrenhal.
15:59The Riverlords will either declare for me, or they will meet Vhagar and Sunfire together.
16:04And we can burn the blockade while we're at it.
16:06Rhaenyra has dragons as well.
16:07Mine are bigger.
16:08If we loose the dragons to war, there'll be no calling them back. We must proceed cautiously.
16:11No. Fat old Lord Tully will either raise my banner or see his burn.
16:15We should fly to Riverrun.
16:17You are the King, Your Grace. You must not put yourself at risk.
16:20And Vhagar is needed here to deter Rhaenyra from attacking, in retribution for the death of her son.
16:26Errors were made in the hours following King Viserys' death. We mustn't compound them.
16:33You've already demonstrated your might, Your Grace. We must now favour patience and restraint.
16:40I send ravens by the hour. Many and more houses will declare for you in time.
16:46History and precedence will come to your side.
16:55Good-morrow you, Chris.
16:56Good-morrow, Lord Larys.
16:58I have come earlier to have a word before the small council convened, but your handmaiden said that you were
17:03indisposed.
17:08What is it you wish to discuss?
17:12I have completed questioning the whole of the castle staff.
17:16They produced rather interesting details, but I am satisfied I have exposed all who betrayed our trust.
17:23And what of them?
17:26They no longer breathe our air.
17:30I have chosen your new staff, personally.
17:32That's fair away.
17:50Give, give me that.
17:52Your Grace?
17:53Just leave me.
17:57Just leave, just leave, just leave me.
18:36It's a dragon wing.
18:39It's a wing.
18:43Dragon!
18:58Dragon!
19:00Dragon!
19:38Dragon!
19:44Dragon!
19:45Dragon!
19:48Dragon!
19:51Dragon!
20:03Hail King Aegon, Aegon the Magnanimous, second of his name, king of the Andals, and the
20:11Rhoynar, and the First Men, lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and protector of the realm, hail
20:16King Aegon. The Magnanimous, your grace. Let's have the first petition, my good lord hand.
20:31Good morrow, your grace. It's all right. There's no reason to be nervous.
20:36What's your name? Gerard, your grace. Good morrow, Gerard. And how might your
20:42king be of service? Tis my flock. A tenth of them taken by the crown on the cusp of winter,
20:55if I'd had the time to plan back. We should return them.
21:01Your grace? You need your goats for the winter, don't you?
21:04Sheep, your grace. Sheep, even better. I shall make your flock of sheep whole.
21:10We already made a promise to all the crownlands that a tithing of livestock would be necessary
21:15to sustain the dragons for their increased activity and, pray not, eventual fighting.
21:21Right. Right. Perhaps we could just return his sheep. He came all this way.
21:26If you return one herd of sheep, your grace, you'll soon find them all at the foot of your
21:30throne expecting the same. They won't know.
21:33When the king speaks your grace, all hear it.
21:47After further thought, I have decided that I cannot restore your sheep. If war were to break out, my dragons
21:54will require feed. Bring the nets.
21:58Salts always run scarce on the road to winter, your grace. We rely on ships from Essos for our supply.
22:05By now, with a blockade in place and war-threatening...
22:08That treasonous blockade won't last long. I plan to send Vhagar to burn it to ash. Bring the next.
22:17Hugh, your grace.
22:21The smiths are all proud to support your grace against Rhaenyra.
22:28But, but, iron costs have grown. A lone scorpion takes weeks to build. To put it simply, we are struggling.
22:41If we could, what, have the crown's coin before we started work, it would bring great relief. Not just to
22:47me, but to all the smiths serving your cause.
22:54You shall be paid, and paid well. My army cannot win a war without your weapons. You should continue their
23:00making.
23:01Our victory depends on the efforts of the small folk.
23:07You have my my sincere gratitude, your grace.
23:10I'll hear the next petition.
23:18Your grace, it filled my heart to see you on the Iron Throne.
23:21I was only a boy when Jhaerys last graced the seat, but you brought forth memories of him, and you
23:26have such a deft touch with the small folk, just as your father did.
23:29Thank you, my lord.
23:31I wonder, do you have a moment for quiet work?
23:38Yes.
23:38Do you have a moment for me?
23:41Yes.
23:42You controlled your father at the same time.
23:46Jhaerys had a certain reputation as being pliable.
23:49I am aware.
23:51I would think, as we find ourselves standing within our hair's breadth, the wall that you would wish to be
23:57viewed differently.
24:01How?
24:03Our so high tower was your father's and your great.
24:23Daughter.
24:25I requested an audience hours ago.
24:29There were many petitions.
24:34I find myself wondering, do we pursue the same end?
24:40I must admit there are days where I myself can't be sure.
24:45I should tell you mine.
24:48It's victory.
24:50And how would you define victory?
24:53Rhaenyra bending the knee and Aegon sitting there on the throne in peace.
24:57As Viserys wished.
24:59Well, if that's how you describe it, then we are aligned.
25:02Then be my ally.
25:03I am.
25:04An ally would not repeatedly cut my legs from beneath me at that table of men.
25:07I sit there and I feel your anger.
25:10Frustration.
25:11These critical days since Viserys is passing haven't gone to plan.
25:14It's not my fault.
25:17My sons both see you as the great example.
25:20Their hand to three kings.
25:22Aegon is ever eager to prove himself and Aemond...
25:27Aemond is angry.
25:30Rhaenyra's son took his eye and was never punished for it.
25:32What he did, however vicious...
25:34a priest of youth.
25:40I can only hope.
25:42Aemond heard.
25:44But he is fiercely loyal.
25:46He wishes to please.
25:48And Aegon still heeds me.
25:49In private, at least.
25:52But if you undermine my voice, both those boys will grow deaf to it.
26:02I hadn't seen it that way.
26:04We only need to mind Aegon until the novelty of Brul is spent.
26:09Once he tires of it, you and I can steer our cause to victory.
26:12A fine strategy, daughter.
26:15But you must accept that the path to victory now is one of violence.
26:21I know it.
26:25But that does not mean it must be wanton.
26:30No.
26:31No.
26:43Left one!
26:44He's broken, my soul!
26:46Prepare to be boarded!
26:48But he can't be ready!
26:49Hold your hand down!
26:51By the order of all colleagues, Valaria!
26:53Search the home for stowaways!
27:02Come on!
27:04Come on!
27:07Come on!
27:08Come on!
27:20You!
27:23When last we met, there were two of you.
27:28The White Worm.
27:30Did you think I would wither in your absence?
27:32I did not think you would flower a traitor.
27:34You speak of Highborn games.
27:36I am Commenborn.
27:37How long have you been selling secrets to Otto Hightower?
27:40As long as he had gold to pay for that.
27:43Who sent you fleeing from King's Landing with such disrepair?
27:49You put Aegon on the throne.
27:50That was the Hightower's conspiracy.
27:53I merely profited from knowing Aegon's movements.
27:55But you delivered him.
27:56He would have returned home eventually for gold, then for respite, as he always does.
28:00I simply...
28:01I simply spent the business alone.
28:03Business that ended with the theft of the Queen's throne and the murder of her son.
28:06You only blame me because your true enemies are out of reach.
28:10My arrangement with the Hand was purely transactional.
28:13I held no loyalty to him.
28:15Certainly do not now.
28:18Otto Hightower was to me as I am to your noble ilk, fodder to be cast off.
28:22What else do you know of him? His plans?
28:23Little and less.
28:25Little and less.
28:28I possess nothing of value to you, Daemon.
28:51I have her moved to the cells. She is to be treated as a traitor to the Crown.
28:58Forgive me, my Prince.
28:59But the lady is here.
29:00The lady speaks the truth. She was no agent of the Hightowers.
29:02What is it to you?
29:04A matter of honour.
29:05Was it honour that made you stand by and watch as the Hightowers usurped the throne?
29:09You and your traitorous twin?
29:12No, my Prince.
29:14I am ashamed by it.
29:16That's why I abandoned the King's Guard and my brother and came here.
29:20I don't care.
29:23Aegon was in your grasp. You should have killed him yourself.
29:25Harry and I were named to the King's Guard at just eight and ten.
29:28And we swore the same oath.
29:30To defend the whole of the royal family.
29:33So what were we to do when they turn against one another?
30:04The Queen of the Andals and the Roidar and the First Men.
30:10Lady of the Seven Kingdoms and protector of the realm.
30:19Did you find what you needed?
30:29The Council stands at the ready, Your Grace.
30:35I will fly to Harrenhal at your command and set our toehold in the Riverlands.
30:40Your Grace, my Lord Husband's blockade of the Gullet moves into place.
30:43All Seaborne travel and trade to King's Landing will soon be cut off.
30:51I want him.
30:53Aemond Targaryen.
31:35Aemond Targaryen.
31:38In your years as merchant of gossip, you surely accumulated spies within the Red Keep.
31:43Servants who knew the comings and goings.
31:45She came with someone else, Daemon.
31:47I was once in your thrall, but no longer.
31:50A transaction then.
31:53Your knowledge in exchange for freedom.
32:20Your Grace.
32:25Lady Jane Arryn has pledged her support in exchange for a dragon to guard the Vale.
32:33And Lord Crick and Stark has promised 2,000 men.
32:58And Lord Crick and Stark has promised 2,000 men.

42:35Ceres Targaryen.
42:37Aegon the Generous, then. That would charm the small folk.
42:40I like that.
42:40Is there more that strong one?
42:41Aegon the Dragonheart.
42:43That's better.
42:44Aegon the Dragoncock.
42:46Yes! Yes! The untamable beast!
43:10How do we get upstairs?
43:13The royals live up there.
43:15Right.
43:17Well, it's off-limits, it is.
43:18Different group of ratcatchers were at the upstairs.
43:21If we're to kill a royal fucking prince, where do you think we're gonna find him?
43:25I got you in the castle. I thought the rest was your bed.
43:31I could end you right here. Take the rest of the gold myself.
43:37And no way upstairs. I just don't-
43:39No, my way around!
43:43Show me.
43:47Far cross!
43:54This way!
44:14The royals live on this level.
44:33No one's here.
