Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:36,333
Episode five should
just be called "Holy Shit,"
2
00:00:36,583 --> 00:00:39,417
because we started reading
the outline
3
00:00:39,875 --> 00:00:41,375
and just went, "Holy shit!"
4
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:47,000
Doing lots of
dragon strafe runs,
5
00:00:47,083 --> 00:00:48,750
burning most of the set.
6
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,792
We set fire to 22 people.
7
00:00:50,875 --> 00:00:52,542
Twice.
8
00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:56,875
We've been doing many burns,
amputees, mutilated bodies.
9
00:00:57,291 --> 00:01:00,834
We had three motion control
rigs going, a spider cam.
10
00:01:01,125 --> 00:01:03,500
Our King's Landing set
is round about 650 extras.
11
00:01:03,583 --> 00:01:06,750
We had three
units going, and now, at the end, four.
12
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,917
We've been just slammed
since day one.
13
00:01:10,166 --> 00:01:13,041
Big telescopic cranes,
up to nine cameras.
14
00:01:13,291 --> 00:01:15,792
It was off the scale, really,
in every way.
15
00:01:15,875 --> 00:01:17,395
And then we saw the set
16
00:01:17,458 --> 00:01:19,875
and what Deb Riley and her team
was building,
17
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,559
and we just said,
"Wow, this is amazing."
18
00:01:21,583 --> 00:01:23,976
King's Landing,
traditionally, has been Dubrovnik.
19
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,309
The thing about Dubrovnik is,
it's a really beautiful city,
20
00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:28,041
and they love it,
and they don't want us
21
00:01:28,291 --> 00:01:30,291
to, you know, burn it down.
22
00:01:30,375 --> 00:01:32,142
We've had this area
out the back of the office.
23
00:01:32,166 --> 00:01:35,458
It's been there for, you know,
since we ever started here.
24
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:40,583
It's so close and so easy,
and Belfast needs a backlot.
25
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:44,041
Why don't we just call this a
backlot and build the set for real?
26
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:52,208
There's no such thing as a set
you can just walk onto and shoot
27
00:01:52,291 --> 00:01:54,125
when you're planning
on destroying it.
28
00:01:54,333 --> 00:01:57,709
There was so much thought that
went into every single section
29
00:01:57,792 --> 00:02:00,000
because it had
so many requirements.
30
00:02:01,125 --> 00:02:02,605
While we were designing
the buildings,
31
00:02:02,667 --> 00:02:05,000
we were designing the
destruction at the same time.
32
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:09,500
So, for every lovely drawing of plans
and elevations of the building,
33
00:02:10,041 --> 00:02:14,208
we had lovely plans and elevations
of the buildings destroyed.
34
00:02:16,458 --> 00:02:19,709
It's not just a set that stands
there and people walk in and out.
35
00:02:19,875 --> 00:02:21,417
It goes through
all these changes.
36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,458
We're gonna see the plaza
on Main Street all on fire.
37
00:02:25,542 --> 00:02:27,959
In order to supply
all the flames,
38
00:02:28,375 --> 00:02:30,041
each building has its own
manifold system
39
00:02:30,125 --> 00:02:32,375
that gets broken up
into many, many different pipes
40
00:02:32,792 --> 00:02:34,709
to each window or doorway
or roof.
41
00:02:34,917 --> 00:02:37,583
- Stand there, mate.
- Yep, we're on now.
42
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:41,750
It's all kind of
steel and hoses
43
00:02:41,834 --> 00:02:45,166
and cryogenic hoses
and valves, and normal valves,
44
00:02:45,417 --> 00:02:48,000
and two-ton gas tanks,
three-ton gas tanks,
45
00:02:48,083 --> 00:02:49,375
five-ton gas trucks.
46
00:02:50,041 --> 00:02:52,667
It makes for a heavily
propane-filled set.
47
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:54,792
There wasn't a lot of time
up our sleeve
48
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
that we could take weeks to change
the set over into a destructed stage.
49
00:02:59,208 --> 00:03:02,750
So, Tom Martin, our construction manager,
came up with the genius idea
50
00:03:02,834 --> 00:03:07,041
of building the set
in its destroyed stage first
51
00:03:07,125 --> 00:03:11,750
and then cladding it so that
it was perfect to begin with.
52
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,583
No crew member that wasn't there
during the build process
53
00:03:15,834 --> 00:03:17,750
had any idea
that the destroyed version
54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,125
was sitting underneath,
waiting to be revealed.
55
00:03:22,583 --> 00:03:25,000
I took a little video
for myself on my phone
56
00:03:25,083 --> 00:03:27,375
of the backstreets,
not even the main drag.
57
00:03:27,959 --> 00:03:31,875
The lanes, the offshoots,
and the aged doors,
58
00:03:31,959 --> 00:03:33,639
with tear stains of rust
running down them.
59
00:03:33,792 --> 00:03:36,752
It absolutely looks like it's been there
for hundreds and hundreds of years.
60
00:03:36,959 --> 00:03:40,959
So, it's loads of detail,
loads of cornices and pillars and friezes,
61
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:42,750
corbels, all over the set.
62
00:03:45,250 --> 00:03:48,125
It's been
a lot of scenic sculpture.
63
00:03:48,208 --> 00:03:51,667
We did a quite large
relief plaque
64
00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:54,542
with the letter "D"
quite prominently.
65
00:03:54,625 --> 00:03:55,792
Both Dan and David.
66
00:03:56,125 --> 00:03:57,959
So we had two of them,
obviously.
67
00:03:58,709 --> 00:04:00,583
From a set dec perspective,
68
00:04:00,875 --> 00:04:02,959
Deb wanted an authentic
sort of place,
69
00:04:03,208 --> 00:04:05,959
with the shopfronts, you know,
and the color palette,
70
00:04:06,041 --> 00:04:07,875
all the doors, all the studs,
you know,
71
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:09,810
all that sort of detail
we wanted as real as possible.
72
00:04:09,834 --> 00:04:13,250
It's shocking when you go behind one of
these doors and you see scaffolding,
73
00:04:13,333 --> 00:04:15,834
'cause you really think
you're in these places.
74
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:17,709
Nikolaj and I
said the other day,
75
00:04:17,792 --> 00:04:21,542
"We'll never be on anything
that is this vast ever again.
76
00:04:21,625 --> 00:04:22,917
They've built Croatia.
77
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,083
And not, like, a street,
78
00:04:24,166 --> 00:04:26,000
they've built, like,
17 streets and alleys.
79
00:04:27,333 --> 00:04:28,333
It has its drawbacks,
80
00:04:28,417 --> 00:04:29,601
because it's right in the middle
of the city.
81
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:31,025
The King's Landing set
82
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:34,250
was sprawling within Belfast within
view of a number of raised buildings.
83
00:04:34,583 --> 00:04:38,291
We had an unprecedented number
of drones, paparazzi attention,
84
00:04:38,375 --> 00:04:41,583
people just following the show around
and trying to get a sneak peek.
85
00:04:41,667 --> 00:04:43,166
What we didn't want them to see
86
00:04:43,333 --> 00:04:46,083
was get the view looking down
the King's Landing street,
87
00:04:46,417 --> 00:04:49,875
so we stuck up a five-high
container wall
88
00:04:50,125 --> 00:04:53,041
and that problem died down
pretty quick after that.
89
00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:57,917
One of the great things about going to
Dubrovnik was there was a reality there
90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,041
that it was impossible
to recapture with a set.
91
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:03,583
And this year, Deb recaptured
that reality with the set.
92
00:05:04,208 --> 00:05:05,976
It felt like you were
wandering through Dubrovnik,
93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,417
but we were in Belfast.
We were in a parking lot
94
00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:10,667
across from
the Harland and Wolff cranes.
95
00:05:10,750 --> 00:05:13,709
It was just, you know,
her crowning achievement.
96
00:05:20,208 --> 00:05:22,291
Three, two, one,
action.
97
00:05:22,375 --> 00:05:24,750
There's
something you need to know.
98
00:05:26,458 --> 00:05:28,098
Someone's betrayed me.
99
00:05:28,166 --> 00:05:29,208
Yes.
100
00:05:29,542 --> 00:05:31,917
We enter into five...
101
00:05:32,709 --> 00:05:34,083
with a broken Dany.
102
00:05:39,667 --> 00:05:40,750
Jon Snow.
103
00:05:41,125 --> 00:05:42,125
Varys.
104
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:44,667
He knows the truth about Jon.
105
00:05:44,917 --> 00:05:46,250
He does.
106
00:05:46,333 --> 00:05:47,573
Because you told him.
107
00:05:47,625 --> 00:05:49,792
If Jon
hadn't told her the truth,
108
00:05:49,875 --> 00:05:51,792
if Cersei hadn't betrayed her,
109
00:05:51,875 --> 00:05:53,275
if Cersei hadn't
executed Missandei,
110
00:05:53,417 --> 00:05:55,834
if all these things had happened
in any different way,
111
00:05:55,917 --> 00:05:57,583
then I don't think
we'd be seeing
112
00:05:57,667 --> 00:05:59,000
this side of
Daenerys Targaryen.
113
00:05:59,083 --> 00:06:01,583
I, Daenerys
of House Targaryen,
114
00:06:01,875 --> 00:06:02,959
sentence you to die.
115
00:06:04,250 --> 00:06:05,667
What?
If Tyrion betrayed Varys,
116
00:06:05,875 --> 00:06:08,750
Tyrion is responsible
for Varys's execution?
117
00:06:09,250 --> 00:06:10,917
They're best of friends.
118
00:06:11,208 --> 00:06:12,208
Not really.
119
00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:13,959
There's other things
at play here.
120
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:15,750
It was me.
121
00:06:15,834 --> 00:06:17,434
He has to betray
somebody, right?
122
00:06:17,458 --> 00:06:19,685
It's a choice between betraying
your best friend or your queen,
123
00:06:19,709 --> 00:06:22,375
and he chooses to remain loyal
to his queen.
124
00:06:27,417 --> 00:06:33,125
♪ We all
need somebody To lean on ♪
125
00:06:34,333 --> 00:06:37,208
No, just...
chillin' with the harmony, babe.
126
00:06:37,291 --> 00:06:40,250
- That was really nice, That was good.
- Yeah, with the harmonizing.
127
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:42,125
Here we go, guys.
Shooting.
128
00:06:43,875 --> 00:06:45,959
C marker.
Action!
129
00:06:46,625 --> 00:06:50,792
It was scripted that he
puts his hand up to touch Varys.
130
00:06:51,208 --> 00:06:54,375
What Conleth did
that I really, really liked
131
00:06:54,625 --> 00:06:56,792
was his reaction,
which was shock.
132
00:06:56,875 --> 00:06:59,709
He did that this one time,
and I said to him, "Why'd you do that?"
133
00:06:59,792 --> 00:07:01,632
He said, "Well,
he's never been touched before.
134
00:07:02,542 --> 00:07:05,417
And it was cool, and it was
just something like, "Wow.
135
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,834
Okay. That... I mean,
it made lots of sense."
136
00:07:07,917 --> 00:07:09,667
It was like, suddenly
he was being touched,
137
00:07:09,750 --> 00:07:12,208
and he... this is not a man
who's ever been touched.
138
00:07:13,125 --> 00:07:14,851
Well, it was one of
the first scenes we shot.
139
00:07:14,875 --> 00:07:17,083
We got to a certain point,
and then it started raining,
140
00:07:17,166 --> 00:07:18,886
and it started pouring,
and then, basically,
141
00:07:19,291 --> 00:07:23,125
the only time I've ever been on Thrones when we
got shut down because it was torrential rain.
142
00:07:24,125 --> 00:07:27,041
Then we went back and we re-shot
the wides of that scene.
143
00:07:27,125 --> 00:07:29,500
And then we realized
that we owed all the parts
144
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:32,333
from one side, where you have
the dragon behind.
145
00:07:32,583 --> 00:07:35,333
So, basically, it was shot
over seven months,
146
00:07:36,041 --> 00:07:39,875
and each time, you know,
poor Conleth had to kind of show up again,
147
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:41,875
Varys had to just stand there
going,
148
00:07:42,208 --> 00:07:43,917
"Okay, I guess I'm dying again."
149
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:48,417
Dracarys.
150
00:07:52,875 --> 00:07:54,315
We thought
it was important,
151
00:07:54,375 --> 00:07:55,959
in the siege of King's Landing,
152
00:07:56,041 --> 00:07:59,750
that the good guys
not be good guys anymore,
153
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,625
and that the lines
between good and bad
154
00:08:02,834 --> 00:08:04,542
and right and wrong
get erased.
155
00:08:05,208 --> 00:08:08,458
We mirrored a lot
of the Battle of Bastards shots,
156
00:08:08,917 --> 00:08:12,667
but instead of having the
Boltons be the invading army,
157
00:08:12,750 --> 00:08:14,542
we had the allied troops.
158
00:08:14,709 --> 00:08:17,291
There's a shot that pulls up
behind Jon
159
00:08:17,375 --> 00:08:19,935
and reveals the Bolton army for the
first time in "Battle of the Bastards,"
160
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:21,834
and we do the same thing
but from behind
161
00:08:21,917 --> 00:08:23,834
the leader
of the mercenary group.
162
00:08:23,917 --> 00:08:26,333
What we need to understand,
as an audience,
163
00:08:26,542 --> 00:08:29,291
is that these people
have come here for blood.
164
00:08:40,083 --> 00:08:42,959
The hardest series of shots
is the moment that
165
00:08:43,041 --> 00:08:47,083
the King's Landing gate
is obliterated by dragonfire.
166
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,458
It's covered by eight cameras,
167
00:08:50,375 --> 00:08:52,917
one explosion over all
of these camera views,
168
00:08:53,792 --> 00:08:56,750
each camera view is carrying
the explosion further.
169
00:08:57,375 --> 00:08:59,333
The complexity of breaking
not only the gate,
170
00:08:59,417 --> 00:09:02,917
but destroying the wall,
wiping out the people,
171
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:05,500
getting the fire element,
you know,
172
00:09:05,583 --> 00:09:08,041
big enough to travel
as we needed it to...
173
00:09:08,709 --> 00:09:12,166
Then there was this whole series
of live action components,
174
00:09:12,583 --> 00:09:15,834
Harry Strickland's horse
that gets annihilated.
175
00:09:16,291 --> 00:09:17,875
Three, two, one.
176
00:09:17,959 --> 00:09:19,458
Action!
177
00:09:21,125 --> 00:09:23,917
A real Gold Company
and digital Gold Company.
178
00:09:24,500 --> 00:09:27,542
Jump straight in,
make your arm into a shield, and that's it.
179
00:09:27,625 --> 00:09:29,125
Do you wanna close down,
mate.
180
00:09:29,208 --> 00:09:31,685
We trained them the
same as we trained the Unsullied,
181
00:09:31,709 --> 00:09:34,291
but just changed a few
of their drill movements
182
00:09:34,375 --> 00:09:36,792
to define them
from being Unsullied.
183
00:09:36,875 --> 00:09:39,250
Rolling!
184
00:09:39,917 --> 00:09:41,797
Forty-four bigger, take five,
eight camera mark.
185
00:09:42,041 --> 00:09:45,000
Then there was a half-scale gate
built by Sam Conway.
186
00:09:46,041 --> 00:09:48,041
The half-scale
gate explosion.
187
00:09:48,250 --> 00:09:50,750
We've been building it out of,
like, basically,
188
00:09:51,083 --> 00:09:52,375
biscuit foam and balsa.
189
00:09:52,458 --> 00:09:55,417
We're gonna be blasting it
out of the way with, uh,
190
00:09:55,500 --> 00:09:57,125
with many air mortars.
191
00:09:57,667 --> 00:10:00,875
Three, two, one.
192
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,476
So, basically,
what the idea is
193
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,125
to achieve
this 60-foot explosion
194
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:07,959
coming out of the center
of the gates,
195
00:10:08,291 --> 00:10:10,500
and also some flame bangs too.
196
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:17,875
You know, it was a lot of planning for
production and a lot of work for Sam,
197
00:10:17,959 --> 00:10:19,834
and now it's a lot of work
for us.
198
00:10:25,792 --> 00:10:26,834
Don't fall on him.
199
00:10:27,542 --> 00:10:31,208
Don't drop your fire extinguisher
on his head.
200
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,166
Three, two, one, action.
201
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,959
As the dragons
have gotten bigger,
202
00:10:52,041 --> 00:10:54,625
they've been lighting
more and more people on fire,
203
00:10:54,709 --> 00:10:56,333
and I believe...
I believe this year,
204
00:10:56,417 --> 00:10:57,976
one of the things
that Rowley brought to the table
205
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,917
was the most people
that have ever been burned
206
00:11:01,333 --> 00:11:03,375
onscreen for a production.
207
00:11:05,041 --> 00:11:08,417
Yeah, that's fine.
208
00:11:08,583 --> 00:11:09,976
...if you haven't
done this before.
209
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,208
That's the director
just locking my head off.
210
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,792
I just know what he's doing.
211
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:16,000
I wish he wouldn't touch it.
212
00:11:17,083 --> 00:11:20,917
The 22 burns is actually 44 burns.
Um... It's two halves.
213
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,917
And five of the 22 were
full burns, but with no masks.
214
00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:27,458
When the time comes
and the call's given,
215
00:11:27,542 --> 00:11:29,375
there's a process
of getting them ready.
216
00:11:29,458 --> 00:11:31,375
They're all wearing
two-mil wetsuits
217
00:11:31,458 --> 00:11:34,625
covered with three layers
of Nomex race underwear
218
00:11:34,917 --> 00:11:37,166
soaked in Zel-Jel.
219
00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:39,583
On top of that is a race suit
covered with a boiler-suit
220
00:11:39,667 --> 00:11:41,583
and then a costume.
And then they have
221
00:11:41,792 --> 00:11:44,166
silicon masks on
and gloves on.
222
00:11:44,417 --> 00:11:48,000
What we essentially did was
we lit the five guys manually,
223
00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:51,750
and then we detonated
17 Taymars,
224
00:11:51,834 --> 00:11:54,667
which are basically, um,
gas camping canisters
225
00:11:54,750 --> 00:11:58,333
inside metal cages.
And they create a 15-foot fireball.
226
00:11:58,667 --> 00:12:02,375
"Three, two, one, action!"
17 poppers go off
227
00:12:02,458 --> 00:12:04,583
amongst all the full fire jobs,
yeah?
228
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:08,959
Then "Three, two, one, action!"
everybody reacts forward.
229
00:12:09,166 --> 00:12:11,041
The full burns go
on the "A" of "action,"
230
00:12:11,125 --> 00:12:13,417
the partials go on "- tion,"
these guys go
231
00:12:13,500 --> 00:12:15,375
after I've finished saying
the word "action."
232
00:12:15,458 --> 00:12:17,166
Okay? So we get
a tiny ripple effect.
233
00:12:17,250 --> 00:12:18,417
We'll do a rehearsal.
234
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:20,709
When he first lit me up,
my trousers were quite baggy,
235
00:12:20,792 --> 00:12:22,583
so they had to spritz me
with IPH,
236
00:12:22,667 --> 00:12:24,208
so there was some fumes
in there.
237
00:12:24,291 --> 00:12:27,000
And I'm bending over,
and they lit me,
238
00:12:27,083 --> 00:12:28,375
and it just went, boom!
239
00:12:28,458 --> 00:12:29,792
I thought, "God, that's hot.
240
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,142
I'm hot already,
and we've not even started to countdown yet."
241
00:12:32,166 --> 00:12:34,000
We're rolling, guys,
rolling, rolling.
242
00:12:35,667 --> 00:12:36,834
Have a good one, boys.
243
00:12:37,166 --> 00:12:40,125
Three, two, one, action!
244
00:12:41,834 --> 00:12:44,583
Three, two, one, action!
245
00:12:45,667 --> 00:12:48,875
We had up to nine
cameras covering that scene.
246
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:50,976
It was an extraordinary
sensation, as well, filming it.
247
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,125
You know it's fiction,
but to see that many men on fire,
248
00:12:55,208 --> 00:12:56,750
I found quite distressing
at times.
249
00:12:56,834 --> 00:12:58,667
I remember the smell.
250
00:12:58,875 --> 00:12:59,750
It's horrifying.
251
00:12:59,834 --> 00:13:03,125
Go, go, go, go, go!
252
00:13:05,625 --> 00:13:07,025
And then we put them all out.
253
00:13:07,291 --> 00:13:11,125
So, for 22 people, we had 22 other
people with fire extinguishers
254
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,583
plus another six people
with fire extinguishers
255
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:15,625
backing all of that up.
So, it's a big deal.
256
00:13:15,834 --> 00:13:18,542
Three, two, one.
257
00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:22,583
We have our initial destruction,
which is
258
00:13:22,667 --> 00:13:24,792
the dragon comes in,
blows shit up,
259
00:13:25,041 --> 00:13:28,041
says, very clearly, "This isn't
going to end well for you."
260
00:13:28,709 --> 00:13:30,959
In come the allied forces,
261
00:13:31,208 --> 00:13:33,166
and they take out
the Lannisters.
262
00:13:33,417 --> 00:13:36,542
And the audience go, "Yeah!"
263
00:13:38,583 --> 00:13:42,291
Once the Lannisters surrender and
the gates have been blown open,
264
00:13:42,375 --> 00:13:44,250
and the Golden Company
has been dispersed,
265
00:13:44,333 --> 00:13:45,333
the battle's over,
266
00:13:45,417 --> 00:13:47,667
and Jon feels like
that's quite clear.
267
00:13:51,959 --> 00:13:55,500
They did it, they did the impossible.
This is a bloodless coup.
268
00:13:55,583 --> 00:13:56,917
It's out of Cersei's hands.
269
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,250
You cut to Cersei, see her.
270
00:13:58,333 --> 00:14:00,333
You cut to Tyrion realizing
this is an opportunity,
271
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:02,667
this is the moment
where the bells could ring
272
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:04,875
and we could call all this off.
273
00:14:07,792 --> 00:14:09,250
And then you go to Dany.
274
00:14:09,542 --> 00:14:14,166
She feels empty. It wasn't what she
thought it was. It's not enough.
275
00:14:14,250 --> 00:14:17,583
Every single thing
that's led her to this point,
276
00:14:17,834 --> 00:14:19,583
and there she is, alone.
277
00:14:19,667 --> 00:14:22,667
We've all got this part of us,
that part that goes,
278
00:14:22,750 --> 00:14:24,017
"I'm gonna put
that chocolate cake down."
279
00:14:24,041 --> 00:14:25,500
"I'm gonna walk away."
280
00:14:25,583 --> 00:14:28,000
We can't be getting into these
moral conundrums all the time.
281
00:14:28,083 --> 00:14:29,726
I'm not saying chocolate cake
is a moral conundrum,
282
00:14:29,750 --> 00:14:31,226
eat as much fucking cake
as you want...
283
00:14:31,250 --> 00:14:33,417
but those things that
you wrestle with in yourself.
284
00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:37,333
She knows that
she has won this war.
285
00:14:37,875 --> 00:14:42,291
It's in that moment when she makes
the decision to make this personal.
286
00:14:42,542 --> 00:14:46,000
It's one of my favorite
Emilia performance moments,
287
00:14:46,250 --> 00:14:47,875
because it took place
on the back
288
00:14:47,959 --> 00:14:51,375
of, like, a giant green
dragon buck
289
00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:53,333
without a real thing
anywhere in sight.
290
00:14:54,583 --> 00:14:57,500
Emilia's really nice.
And she cares.
291
00:14:57,583 --> 00:14:59,709
She's a whole bunch of things
that Dany isn't.
292
00:14:59,792 --> 00:15:01,875
So reaching this part of Dany
293
00:15:01,959 --> 00:15:04,625
is a...
was a tough call for her.
294
00:15:04,959 --> 00:15:08,291
Ultimately, she is who she is,
and that's a Targaryen.
295
00:15:08,375 --> 00:15:10,542
You know, she has said
repeatedly throughout the show,
296
00:15:10,625 --> 00:15:12,542
"I will take what is mine
with fire and blood."
297
00:15:12,625 --> 00:15:14,583
And in this episode,
she does it.
298
00:15:15,625 --> 00:15:16,834
For the audience...
299
00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:19,417
Oh, you wanted a battle?
Well, here you go.
300
00:15:24,792 --> 00:15:27,667
Drogon's fire-blasting
does a lot of damage.
301
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:30,834
I mean, he's not Godzilla,
but we're heading in that direction.
302
00:15:31,208 --> 00:15:33,709
Cameras on, all set, and...
303
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:36,083
Three, two, one, blast it.
304
00:15:37,125 --> 00:15:40,125
Uh... We create a lot
of, um, interactive light
305
00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:43,417
for dragonfire.
So that can either be
306
00:15:43,500 --> 00:15:45,291
a series of large flamethrowers
307
00:15:45,375 --> 00:15:48,583
or it can be a pyrotechnic
charge that we'll light up.
308
00:15:50,333 --> 00:15:53,208
And of course, then, what happens is,
we take... we go back to the studio
309
00:15:53,291 --> 00:15:57,333
and then we do it
with the VFX mo-co cameras.
310
00:15:58,208 --> 00:16:02,041
We had the big flamethrower
on the Spidercam onstage
311
00:16:02,125 --> 00:16:04,583
that was shooting, you know,
40 feet of fire.
312
00:16:09,750 --> 00:16:12,375
And then we do, also,
the impact scene on the ground.
313
00:16:12,583 --> 00:16:16,750
We do that as a half-scale model shoot,
pyrotechnic charge goes along.
314
00:16:17,333 --> 00:16:18,875
Three. Two. One. Action!
315
00:16:22,417 --> 00:16:23,935
And all these things
get tied in together,
316
00:16:23,959 --> 00:16:26,458
so you'll see the dragonfire
chasing those flames,
317
00:16:26,542 --> 00:16:27,893
and then where
the dragonfire lands,
318
00:16:27,917 --> 00:16:30,041
you'll see all the pyrotechnic
charges going off.
319
00:16:40,917 --> 00:16:43,125
The place, when she takes off...
320
00:16:44,041 --> 00:16:46,166
and starts burning the city,
321
00:16:46,250 --> 00:16:47,750
and when the Unsullied
on the ground
322
00:16:48,041 --> 00:16:51,667
and the Northmen on the ground take
that as their cue that anything goes...
323
00:16:52,083 --> 00:16:54,267
That should
be enough, guys, but it's not.
324
00:16:54,291 --> 00:16:56,250
Just up ahead,
everyone looking up,
325
00:16:56,333 --> 00:16:59,917
you can see the dragon coming down.
It fires on the city.
326
00:17:01,208 --> 00:17:02,250
And... go, Gray Worm.
327
00:17:06,125 --> 00:17:07,559
There's a moment when we see Gray Worm
328
00:17:07,583 --> 00:17:09,875
taking out his enemies
when there's no need to do that.
329
00:17:11,250 --> 00:17:13,250
The way we
described it in the screenplay
330
00:17:13,333 --> 00:17:14,893
was that he's become
almost an angel of death.
331
00:17:18,083 --> 00:17:21,917
He's just gone back to being like,
this kind of traumatized robot.
332
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:25,375
There are a lot of people
lurking in the background.
333
00:17:25,458 --> 00:17:27,291
See if you can find
Aaron Rodgers.
334
00:17:28,041 --> 00:17:30,625
I was helping a woman
who was injured,
335
00:17:31,041 --> 00:17:35,667
uh, set her down, and then,
the hell with her, I'm getting outta there.
336
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,792
So, struggle, struggle,
and then, I struggle and die
337
00:17:39,875 --> 00:17:41,142
- forcing me to the ground.
- Yeah.
338
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:42,834
Uh... Guys, room, please.
339
00:17:43,458 --> 00:17:46,625
The beheading came from the idea
to take the audience
340
00:17:46,709 --> 00:17:51,208
to a place where they felt that they
shared the bloodlust of the Starks,
341
00:17:51,291 --> 00:17:53,542
so they wanted to see
these people get creamed,
342
00:17:53,792 --> 00:17:55,500
and then to give them
what they wanted,
343
00:17:55,875 --> 00:18:00,750
and show them with no mercy the horrors of war.
344
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,208
At that face-off in that moment,
you're with Jon more than anybody else.
345
00:18:12,750 --> 00:18:14,270
Interestingly,
when we were editing it,
346
00:18:14,417 --> 00:18:17,375
there was a mistake made at the
moment that it goes to slow motion.
347
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:21,350
Our sound cut, and I was like...
348
00:18:22,041 --> 00:18:23,625
...and suddenly, I was riveted.
349
00:18:26,834 --> 00:18:29,417
Nothing letting me
off the hook
350
00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:32,834
from seeing what he's seeing and
experiencing what he's experiencing.
351
00:18:33,291 --> 00:18:35,250
There's a great shot
that Miguel got.
352
00:18:35,333 --> 00:18:36,917
You just have
the Lannister soldier,
353
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,375
who's guiding the civilians
of King's Landing to safety,
354
00:18:40,458 --> 00:18:44,166
and the good guy in this shot
is a shot in bad guy armor,
355
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:45,750
and the bad guys in this shot
356
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:49,041
are the ones who are doing all these horrific things.
357
00:18:51,250 --> 00:18:54,875
If three was the final
battle between good and evil,
358
00:18:54,959 --> 00:18:57,291
five is "What have we become?"
359
00:18:57,625 --> 00:18:59,083
It's all got a bit bleak,
hasn't it?
360
00:18:59,166 --> 00:19:03,208
It's quite bleak.
This season's really bleak.
361
00:19:10,041 --> 00:19:11,208
If I win...
362
00:19:12,333 --> 00:19:15,125
I'll bring your head to Cersei
so you can kiss her.
363
00:19:15,667 --> 00:19:18,041
One last time.
364
00:19:22,375 --> 00:19:25,667
Finally, after
15 years of being colleagues,
365
00:19:25,750 --> 00:19:28,291
I'm given two days
to kick his ass.
366
00:19:31,583 --> 00:19:34,375
The time for gentleman-like
fights are over.
367
00:19:34,458 --> 00:19:37,250
The idea was
it was a slugfest.
368
00:19:38,458 --> 00:19:40,375
It's gonna be very funny
for Denmark,
369
00:19:40,458 --> 00:19:43,667
because two of their actors
are gonna fight it off.
370
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:44,834
The Dane Bowl.
371
00:19:51,750 --> 00:19:53,017
It's a little bit disconcerting
372
00:19:53,041 --> 00:19:54,768
when they start talking Danish
to each other,
373
00:19:54,792 --> 00:19:57,083
'cause I'm not sure whether
they're changing a move,
374
00:19:57,166 --> 00:20:00,375
or conspiring to do something
that we don't want them to do.
375
00:20:01,750 --> 00:20:05,166
Where we did it, it was
a very unfriendly environment,
376
00:20:05,250 --> 00:20:08,750
which was big rocks and stones
and a tide... it was very...
377
00:20:08,834 --> 00:20:12,291
you know, very small cove
where the tide came in and out,
378
00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:13,917
and it was wet and sandy.
379
00:20:14,291 --> 00:20:17,542
Those guys being soaking wet,
and having sand everywhere,
380
00:20:17,625 --> 00:20:19,917
they're probably still finding
sand in the bath now.
381
00:20:20,125 --> 00:20:22,125
Three, two, one, action.
382
00:20:23,542 --> 00:20:25,083
Euron is a psychopath.
383
00:20:25,166 --> 00:20:28,959
A normal person would not swim
to shore
384
00:20:29,291 --> 00:20:31,959
just so he could murder
one other person.
385
00:20:32,125 --> 00:20:34,417
He wants to know what new things
are like.
386
00:20:34,500 --> 00:20:37,458
As he says with Cersei,
"Life can be boring."
387
00:20:40,792 --> 00:20:44,000
The ultimate new interesting
experience he's never had before
388
00:20:44,083 --> 00:20:48,250
is death, and I think
he's strangely excited
389
00:20:48,333 --> 00:20:50,208
about having that experience
as well.
390
00:20:50,291 --> 00:20:52,375
I mean, he dies with a smile
on his face.
391
00:20:53,709 --> 00:20:56,375
That was the first thing
I asked Dan and David is,
392
00:20:56,834 --> 00:21:02,041
"Am I dead?" They go like, "No!
Maybe. A little."
393
00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:04,834
And I go like,
"No, I don't think so."
394
00:21:06,458 --> 00:21:09,250
It struck us that it would be
apocalyptically beautiful
395
00:21:09,333 --> 00:21:11,834
to see them fighting
on this stairway to nowhere
396
00:21:11,917 --> 00:21:14,792
with the sky in the background
and the dragon flying by,
397
00:21:14,875 --> 00:21:17,583
and the flames everywhere,
and it's just pretty epic
398
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:18,707
and that's what we wanted.
399
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Hello, big brother.
400
00:21:22,542 --> 00:21:24,000
One more and this time, guys...
401
00:21:24,083 --> 00:21:26,375
We shot this thing
for days and days and days,
402
00:21:26,458 --> 00:21:29,083
and it was so hard to shoot,
and it was a massive set.
403
00:21:29,166 --> 00:21:30,750
There was a 72 steps.
404
00:21:31,208 --> 00:21:32,750
The really important thing for me
405
00:21:33,166 --> 00:21:35,750
in designing the staircase
was that it felt grand.
406
00:21:35,959 --> 00:21:39,959
We've always seen these
computer generated illustrations
407
00:21:40,041 --> 00:21:42,625
of King's Landing,
and there is a big tower
408
00:21:42,709 --> 00:21:44,625
down the side of the big keep.
409
00:21:44,834 --> 00:21:47,959
The problem with the
staircase is it will want to go up,
410
00:21:48,208 --> 00:21:50,792
so I think the first time
in our kind of history
411
00:21:50,875 --> 00:21:55,417
of building things here,
we've actually hit the grid of the stages.
412
00:21:56,208 --> 00:21:57,583
There's a lot of crew,
413
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,333
and there's
just the one staircase, so...
414
00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:03,750
trying to get cameras
into positions...
415
00:22:04,125 --> 00:22:07,333
right up against the staircase,
it's been quite difficult.
416
00:22:07,709 --> 00:22:10,500
The same time,
the building is being ruined
417
00:22:10,583 --> 00:22:13,542
by the dragon fire, so there's
crumbling walls everywhere.
418
00:22:14,041 --> 00:22:17,542
Special effects will be dropping
rocks and sand and debris,
419
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:20,208
and so there's all these kind
of interesting challenges
420
00:22:20,291 --> 00:22:24,750
as well as... running in and fighting,
and falling down the stairs.
421
00:22:25,667 --> 00:22:27,750
So, when you attack,
it's better that you're slower,
422
00:22:27,834 --> 00:22:30,583
but on target...
...and he gets out of the way,
423
00:22:30,667 --> 00:22:32,208
rather than try to be
really fast
424
00:22:32,291 --> 00:22:35,041
and deliberately missing, 'cause
we'll see a deliberate miss.
425
00:22:35,125 --> 00:22:36,625
- Does that make sense?
- Yeah.
426
00:22:36,959 --> 00:22:38,417
Just slow and deliberate.
427
00:22:40,792 --> 00:22:45,041
Everyone, ready?
And... rehearse stage. And...
428
00:22:46,083 --> 00:22:48,667
three, two, one, action.
429
00:22:49,083 --> 00:22:52,083
Ooh! Help. Sorry.
430
00:22:53,208 --> 00:22:56,500
The way we tackled
it was we put one very big crane
431
00:22:56,583 --> 00:22:59,625
on the inside of the circle,
on the inside of the staircase,
432
00:22:59,792 --> 00:23:02,125
which could reach any point
on that staircase,
433
00:23:02,208 --> 00:23:04,625
and then where the staircases
had been destroyed at the back,
434
00:23:04,709 --> 00:23:08,583
we've got another crane on a large rostrum,
so we've could shoot both ways.
435
00:23:09,417 --> 00:23:10,542
When we're on the staircase,
436
00:23:10,625 --> 00:23:13,125
we shoot a whole combination
of handheld,
437
00:23:13,333 --> 00:23:15,792
and then we deploy
our Artemis Maxima,
438
00:23:15,875 --> 00:23:18,000
which is this handheld
stabilized rig.
439
00:23:22,125 --> 00:23:23,458
We learn the choreography.
440
00:23:23,542 --> 00:23:26,458
We get trust of the actors
and vice versa,
441
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,875
and if you learn it well enough,
you can step inside that zone
442
00:23:29,959 --> 00:23:32,667
with the swords going over
the camera or under the camera.
443
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:34,834
Before you know it,
it gets pretty exciting.
444
00:23:40,375 --> 00:23:41,250
Cut!
445
00:23:41,333 --> 00:23:42,709
You know, that fight was brutal.
446
00:23:43,166 --> 00:23:45,417
It's brutal to watch, but it was
brutal to shoot as well,
447
00:23:45,500 --> 00:23:47,208
because... for Hafpór,
448
00:23:47,291 --> 00:23:49,166
he's wearing
so many prosthetics.
449
00:23:49,417 --> 00:23:50,917
Hafpór had to wake up
at midnight
450
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:52,500
to get ready
for a 8:00 a.m. call.
451
00:23:52,583 --> 00:23:54,750
Seven-and-a-half
hours of makeup, um,
452
00:23:54,834 --> 00:23:56,333
and then he had to do
a ten hour day.
453
00:23:56,750 --> 00:23:58,685
They were... They were hard.
They were hard, hard work.
454
00:23:58,709 --> 00:23:59,750
When we read the scripts,
455
00:23:59,834 --> 00:24:01,959
we realized
that there's this big reveal.
456
00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:05,000
And another step.
Ah, fuck it. Just pull it off.
457
00:24:07,750 --> 00:24:10,583
So the last time
we'd really seen the Mountain
458
00:24:10,667 --> 00:24:12,583
from the hands of our work
was season four.
459
00:24:12,667 --> 00:24:15,959
He was like on the slab,
and he had this whole rotted,
460
00:24:16,041 --> 00:24:18,875
kind of ulcerated area
on the side of his torso.
461
00:24:19,208 --> 00:24:20,208
So, that was really
462
00:24:20,375 --> 00:24:23,250
the only springboard we had
to the design.
463
00:24:23,333 --> 00:24:25,625
They kept referring to him
as Franken-Mountain.
464
00:24:26,083 --> 00:24:28,583
And we just came up
with this kind of putrid,
465
00:24:28,667 --> 00:24:31,375
almost porcelain looking...
466
00:24:32,333 --> 00:24:35,375
It was this Frankensteinian
looking figure.
467
00:24:35,792 --> 00:24:36,792
Cut.
468
00:24:38,041 --> 00:24:40,417
Hafpór won
World's Strongest Man this year.
469
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:42,417
We got him really late
because of that as well,
470
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,083
so we basically used
his strength
471
00:24:44,166 --> 00:24:48,125
to throw Rory's character around
and he had a really big day
472
00:24:48,208 --> 00:24:51,458
where literally, he spent the
whole day being thrown into walls.
473
00:24:55,208 --> 00:24:56,726
This isn't a trained stuntman.
474
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:58,583
This is the guy
that smashes stuff up.
475
00:25:00,792 --> 00:25:03,917
And three, two, one,
smack him against the wall.
476
00:25:06,417 --> 00:25:07,417
Cut.
477
00:25:07,458 --> 00:25:09,250
Rory was like...
I mean...
478
00:25:10,083 --> 00:25:12,458
sometimes, we thought
he was dying on the stairs
479
00:25:12,542 --> 00:25:14,542
in between takes, literally.
480
00:25:18,291 --> 00:25:19,417
Everyone okay?
481
00:25:20,583 --> 00:25:22,583
For a big man,
you're very gentle.
482
00:25:23,083 --> 00:25:24,792
Thank you.
483
00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:32,625
I, after a couple days, decided to have a...
I brought Hafpór in,
484
00:25:32,709 --> 00:25:35,875
and I gave him this... a box
with a sandbag on top of it,
485
00:25:35,959 --> 00:25:37,601
and I put the camera underneath
and we didn't...
486
00:25:37,625 --> 00:25:39,834
there's no reason to shoot it,
and I was like,
487
00:25:39,917 --> 00:25:42,166
"I just want you to just...
When I saw action,
488
00:25:42,250 --> 00:25:45,125
just fucking smash that
as hard as you possibly can.
489
00:25:45,375 --> 00:25:46,583
Pretend it's Rory's head.
490
00:25:46,667 --> 00:25:48,417
And looking right
at the camera...
491
00:25:48,667 --> 00:25:51,208
- And he was just like going...
- ...like that,
492
00:25:51,291 --> 00:25:52,476
and we're shooting it
in slow motion.
493
00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:54,417
Three, two, one, and action.
494
00:25:55,834 --> 00:26:00,125
And one more time.
And three, two one, and action.
495
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:02,417
Great, and now this time, just...
496
00:26:02,500 --> 00:26:04,250
And I just wanted to get
all his anger out,
497
00:26:04,333 --> 00:26:05,333
so that it was all done
498
00:26:05,417 --> 00:26:06,333
and then we went off
and did the scene.
499
00:26:06,417 --> 00:26:07,417
Set!
500
00:26:10,417 --> 00:26:13,709
We're gonna do a 30 foot fall
where Gyula takes off Mike,
501
00:26:13,792 --> 00:26:15,208
the stunt double
for the Mountain,
502
00:26:15,291 --> 00:26:18,041
into a box rig.
For two really big guys,
503
00:26:18,125 --> 00:26:20,667
and one of them going off
backwards in full prosthetics,
504
00:26:20,750 --> 00:26:22,917
it's getting the wall right
that's the difficult bit
505
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,291
because, you know, it's meant
to be like four-foot thick.
506
00:26:25,375 --> 00:26:27,041
It will be a couple of feet
thick,
507
00:26:27,125 --> 00:26:29,250
but it's trying to get that
to look right.
508
00:26:33,333 --> 00:26:35,834
There are many times
when we're planning a season,
509
00:26:35,917 --> 00:26:37,437
and you know, you kind of
have to avoid
510
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:39,017
giving the audience
exactly what they want
511
00:26:39,041 --> 00:26:40,851
because then things start
to become predictable.
512
00:26:40,875 --> 00:26:43,000
This is the case where we wanted
the same thing.
513
00:26:44,709 --> 00:26:48,166
We've always wanted to see these
two face off, and they finally did.
514
00:26:51,417 --> 00:26:53,583
Ready, ladies
and gentlemen. Here we go.
515
00:26:53,667 --> 00:26:55,917
Yep. Here we go.
516
00:26:56,375 --> 00:26:57,875
You needed a perspective
517
00:26:58,250 --> 00:27:01,083
to carry you
through this horror,
518
00:27:01,166 --> 00:27:04,792
and we thought Arya was the best
person to use for that purpose.
519
00:27:05,583 --> 00:27:08,458
I got a call from Miguel,
basically was like,
520
00:27:08,542 --> 00:27:10,685
"I can't tell anything, but
you know what we did in BOB?"
521
00:27:10,709 --> 00:27:11,935
I was like, "Yeah." He was like,
522
00:27:11,959 --> 00:27:13,184
"We're gonna do that
but with you,"
523
00:27:13,208 --> 00:27:14,542
and I was like, "Okay."
524
00:27:14,875 --> 00:27:16,583
It was meant to be, ultimately,
come across
525
00:27:16,667 --> 00:27:19,125
as a seven-and-a-half minute,
non-stop shot,
526
00:27:19,208 --> 00:27:21,083
where you follow her on the run.
527
00:27:21,834 --> 00:27:23,750
We practiced this
many, many times.
528
00:27:23,834 --> 00:27:26,959
We've spent a whole day, two days,
practicing the shot already
529
00:27:27,041 --> 00:27:31,083
with Arya and with all the stunt
team and all the extras we require.
530
00:27:31,458 --> 00:27:35,041
Little boy, back down
the stairs, round...
531
00:27:35,583 --> 00:27:38,375
Gonna really throw away
the girl coming out the window.
532
00:27:39,250 --> 00:27:42,583
- Cam speed.
- 69 apple, take six. 38 frames.
533
00:27:45,625 --> 00:27:48,500
Three, two, one, action.
534
00:27:48,583 --> 00:27:51,125
From a camera perspective,
it took us an hour...
535
00:27:51,625 --> 00:27:53,792
to figure out
how we're gonna move the camera.
536
00:27:53,875 --> 00:27:56,059
It's all the other stuff
that goes on in the background,
537
00:27:56,083 --> 00:27:57,893
you know, and you've got
a great special effects crew,
538
00:27:57,917 --> 00:28:02,000
who, you know, put in smoke and flame bars,
and lots of extras.
539
00:28:05,917 --> 00:28:09,333
Every single extra you look at
will have each of their stories,
540
00:28:09,417 --> 00:28:13,417
so... you know, I think that's what
makes those one-ers so intense.
541
00:28:13,500 --> 00:28:15,226
So, I think definitely,
when you came in here,
542
00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:16,726
that thing that first time
you're on the ground,
543
00:28:16,750 --> 00:28:17,959
it's like, "Fuck! I'm fucked.
544
00:28:18,041 --> 00:28:19,226
I'm fucked
unless I get out of here.
545
00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:20,559
How do I get out of here?
Go this way."
546
00:28:20,583 --> 00:28:22,625
We've got all sorts
of air mortars going off.
547
00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:27,559
And she gets
picked up by the crowd.
548
00:28:31,083 --> 00:28:34,792
And she is just cannon fodder,
because Dany is bombing the city.
549
00:28:37,250 --> 00:28:40,083
I've decided on this journey
to a new life,
550
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:42,208
and I might not even make it out
of the gates.
551
00:28:42,291 --> 00:28:44,625
I think we want the audience
to think that's she's dead,
552
00:28:44,709 --> 00:28:48,125
for like a second, but audiences
are too smart for that.
553
00:28:57,041 --> 00:28:59,059
There's an element
of luck in these things as well,
554
00:28:59,083 --> 00:29:00,250
you know, we need everybody
555
00:29:00,333 --> 00:29:02,250
to get a little bit lucky
at the same time.
556
00:29:02,667 --> 00:29:04,667
We're setting people on fire
during it,
557
00:29:04,750 --> 00:29:05,990
and putting them out during it.
558
00:29:06,125 --> 00:29:09,959
If I miscue it or not cue it
quick enough, it doesn't work.
559
00:29:12,083 --> 00:29:15,083
There's any number of things
that can just make the take
560
00:29:15,166 --> 00:29:17,333
not as good
as you would hope it to be,
561
00:29:17,625 --> 00:29:19,417
and they typically take
ten takes to get.
562
00:29:19,667 --> 00:29:22,458
Delta mark, 48 frames.
Bravo, 69.
563
00:29:22,542 --> 00:29:24,000
Delta take one on the end.
564
00:29:24,834 --> 00:29:25,834
Um...
565
00:29:44,208 --> 00:29:47,583
The journey that Arya's taking,
566
00:29:47,667 --> 00:29:51,333
heavily inspired
by the firebombing of Dresden
567
00:29:51,583 --> 00:29:53,792
because what it needs
to look like
568
00:29:53,875 --> 00:29:56,583
is the firebombing
of King's Landing.
569
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,768
It was interesting to us
that we could...
570
00:29:58,792 --> 00:30:00,250
we could take a modern reference
571
00:30:00,542 --> 00:30:04,458
and map it
onto a pre-modern situation,
572
00:30:04,542 --> 00:30:09,166
because we have air firepower
in the form of the dragons.
573
00:30:12,750 --> 00:30:14,434
If you see some
of the photographs,
574
00:30:14,458 --> 00:30:16,810
they're terrifying photographs of
not just the level of destruction,
575
00:30:16,834 --> 00:30:18,851
but you know, there's people
walking to work the next day
576
00:30:18,875 --> 00:30:20,625
with decapitated heads
lying on the ground.
577
00:30:20,709 --> 00:30:23,417
It's like... it's a terrifying,
terrifying thing.
578
00:30:24,291 --> 00:30:25,643
She's seen some awful things,
579
00:30:25,667 --> 00:30:27,834
but this is like
mass destruction and...
580
00:30:28,542 --> 00:30:32,583
it's pretty sickening, even for
the strongest of people.
581
00:30:33,959 --> 00:30:36,166
We'd been doing
many full body burns,
582
00:30:36,417 --> 00:30:39,041
some with negative space,
some crushed,
583
00:30:39,125 --> 00:30:40,542
sort of mutilated bodies.
584
00:30:40,625 --> 00:30:44,041
Extras, which are amputees,
and we've created severed limbs,
585
00:30:44,125 --> 00:30:47,917
so we've had team of about five,
six people on a day to day basis
586
00:30:48,250 --> 00:30:49,610
and on some days,
Miguel would say,
587
00:30:49,667 --> 00:30:51,834
"Right, I need these guys
to have some head injuries.
588
00:30:51,917 --> 00:30:53,709
This guy's
got his throat slashed.
589
00:30:53,792 --> 00:30:55,875
This guy's gonna be
really badly burned.
590
00:30:56,333 --> 00:30:58,083
So, suddenly,
our guys just pile in,
591
00:30:58,166 --> 00:31:00,959
and we've got
this big jigsaw puzzle of pieces
592
00:31:01,041 --> 00:31:03,250
that we've got in our arsenal,
and fortunately,
593
00:31:03,333 --> 00:31:04,625
it seems to have worked out.
594
00:31:05,417 --> 00:31:07,017
Now, I've got
one of my girls walking along,
595
00:31:07,041 --> 00:31:09,041
and she's got handful
of intestines,
596
00:31:09,125 --> 00:31:11,750
and we've got amputees.
Bless 'em. And then you make
597
00:31:11,834 --> 00:31:14,375
the ends of the limbs
that they have look horrible,
598
00:31:14,458 --> 00:31:17,542
and you make trails of blood
where they've been.
599
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:19,709
And then,
they're screaming horribly.
600
00:31:22,875 --> 00:31:23,917
Cut, cut, cut.
601
00:31:24,166 --> 00:31:25,375
But when they cut,
602
00:31:25,458 --> 00:31:27,418
someone's walking around
with a box of ice-lollies
603
00:31:27,458 --> 00:31:29,041
and going,
"You want an ice lolly?"
604
00:31:29,125 --> 00:31:30,125
"No, I'm all right."
605
00:31:30,458 --> 00:31:33,917
What we do for a living is a bit
surreal at times, you know.
606
00:31:39,458 --> 00:31:41,309
It was originally shot
to be this really long one-er,
607
00:31:41,333 --> 00:31:44,625
and it was actually a decision
that Miguel and his editor,
608
00:31:44,709 --> 00:31:46,709
Tim Porter, made
as they were cutting it
609
00:31:46,792 --> 00:31:48,792
that intercutting
the Clegane Bowl
610
00:31:48,875 --> 00:31:51,709
and Arya's escape was actually
much more emotional
611
00:31:51,792 --> 00:31:54,875
and effective than having
this 12 minute long one-er
612
00:31:54,959 --> 00:31:57,166
and then the fight
as two separate pieces.
613
00:32:01,166 --> 00:32:04,667
All she's left with
is the sound of burning people
614
00:32:04,750 --> 00:32:07,083
and the smell of burning flesh.
615
00:32:07,583 --> 00:32:10,417
And she sees a white horse
'cause it's symbolic...
616
00:32:11,166 --> 00:32:15,875
and beautiful. And then,
she hops on and gallops off
617
00:32:16,291 --> 00:32:17,875
and makes it out of the city.
618
00:32:30,709 --> 00:32:33,041
68 echo, take one.
619
00:32:33,959 --> 00:32:35,500
A, B, and C, come on boards,
620
00:32:37,542 --> 00:32:38,862
D marker.
621
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,291
It's a kind of genuine
discovery as she goes along,
622
00:32:41,375 --> 00:32:44,959
each step she takes, something
crumbles, something falls.
623
00:32:45,041 --> 00:32:46,959
The destruction is unavoidable.
624
00:32:47,166 --> 00:32:50,709
She loses people
and finds herself totally alone.
625
00:32:50,792 --> 00:32:53,583
Dragon. Track.
626
00:32:53,959 --> 00:33:01,333
The thing that he has with his sister,
which is absolutely unconditional love.
627
00:33:09,834 --> 00:33:12,792
- You came back for me.
- Of course, I did.
628
00:33:12,875 --> 00:33:16,417
He goes back to her,
even though he knows that she's gonna die.
629
00:33:16,500 --> 00:33:20,291
He goes back to her even though he
knows that she'll never surrender.
630
00:33:20,583 --> 00:33:23,250
He goes back to her
just to be there for her.
631
00:33:23,333 --> 00:33:25,208
He almost goes back to her,
I would say,
632
00:33:25,291 --> 00:33:28,041
to prove that
he was never going to leave.
633
00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:33,834
The skull room, unfortunately,
had to be recreated
634
00:33:33,917 --> 00:33:37,166
because in order to destroy
the space, we had to build it.
635
00:33:37,458 --> 00:33:40,375
And then, a lot of bricks
were brought in for it,
636
00:33:40,458 --> 00:33:43,917
and we had some big architectural
pieces made as well.
637
00:33:44,375 --> 00:33:46,583
The great thing was I had
all of the information
638
00:33:46,667 --> 00:33:50,250
about the space. We had already,
um, measured it and drawn it.
639
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:52,083
I had all of the photographs
of it.
640
00:33:52,500 --> 00:33:54,417
One of the lessons
that I learned very quickly
641
00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:57,250
was a pile of rubble
isn't very interesting...
642
00:33:57,959 --> 00:34:01,333
unless you have identifiable
architectural pieces
643
00:34:01,417 --> 00:34:04,709
that... that can sit in it,
and an audience can identify
644
00:34:04,792 --> 00:34:06,272
with having fallen
from that building.
645
00:34:06,417 --> 00:34:08,875
The escape route is blocked,
646
00:34:08,959 --> 00:34:10,041
and there is no way out.
647
00:34:10,458 --> 00:34:14,959
And now we're talking seconds,
and... and she's panicking.
648
00:34:15,458 --> 00:34:16,291
Action.
649
00:34:16,375 --> 00:34:17,601
Please don't let me die.
650
00:34:17,625 --> 00:34:19,709
Please don't let me die.
I don't want to die.
651
00:34:19,792 --> 00:34:20,792
Jaime, please.
652
00:34:20,834 --> 00:34:22,476
Look... Look me in the eyes.
Don't look away.
653
00:34:22,500 --> 00:34:24,458
Please don't let me die,
not like this.
654
00:34:24,667 --> 00:34:25,667
Look at me!
655
00:34:26,250 --> 00:34:30,458
There's a helplessness from both of
them and a sense of loss that...
656
00:34:30,959 --> 00:34:34,500
is the strangest feeling to
experience with them, because...
657
00:34:35,041 --> 00:34:39,083
you know, Cersei is one of
the most horrendous characters
658
00:34:39,166 --> 00:34:41,875
committed to film, and yet,
somehow, at the end,
659
00:34:41,959 --> 00:34:43,875
she's just a girl,
and she's just scared.
660
00:34:43,959 --> 00:34:46,166
And... and he's there
to comfort her.
661
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:47,500
Just look at me.
662
00:34:49,667 --> 00:34:51,583
- I don't want to die...
- Shh...
663
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,500
Nothing else matters. Just us.
664
00:34:57,667 --> 00:34:58,667
Only us.
