Tyland can't sing. 1023 01:13:15,854 --> 01:13:17,731 RYAN: She's a bonkers character 1024 01:13:17,856 --> 01:13:20,025 that feels like one of these very colorful characters 1025 01:13:20,066 -->

looking at her the way Tyland does, 1028 01:13:26,197 --> 01:13:28,366 which is, "What's going on?" and "Is this real?" 1029 01:13:28,533 --> 01:13:32,370 SARA: One of our season highlights was bringing in Sharako Lohar. 1030 01:13:32,412 --> 01:13:34,164 And it can be a rough show. 1031 01:13:34,205 --> 01:13:37,083 It's grim, it's a war, a lot of people die. 1032 01:13:37,208 --> 01:13:41,046 So having that moment of levity and just sort of off-kilterness 1033 01:13:41,087 --> 01:13:42,714 was really important to us 1034 01:13:42,756 --> 01:13:45,592 and a really welcome

life 1043 01:14:05,737 --> 01:14:07,113 was about him and his own glory. 1044 01:14:07,197 --> 01:14:09,240 I mean, he named his ship after himself. 1045 01:14:09,574 --> 01:14:11,951 GEETA VASANT PATEL: Corlys always went out to sea, 1046 01:14:12,077 --> 01:14:14,913 so Rhaenys never felt like his priority. 1047 01:14:15,038 --> 01:14:19,250 And when she died, it finally came to Corlys 1048 01:14:19,292 --> 01:14:21,211 that he always thought about himself. 1049 01:14:21,294 --> 01:14:23,922 And so he did the one thing he could do. 1050 01:14:23,963 --> 01:14:27,258 Take his namesake, his ship, and make it hers. 1051 01:14:27,967 --> 01:14:30,136 SARA: He's lost all the people he loves. 1052 01:14:30,303 --> 01:14:33,640 He's sort of come to this place of acceptance 1053 01:14:33,765 --> 01:14:36,976 and understanding that his great exploits 1054 01:14:37,102 --> 01:14:40,814 are less important than just having his family around him. 1055 01:14:41,147 --> 01:14:43,066 Do you know what hunger does to a boy? 1056 01:14:44,651 --> 01:14:45,652 What grief does? 1057 01:14:46,111 --> 01:14:49,322 Rhaenys always had the conversation with Corlys 1058 01:14:49,406 --> 01:14:50,490 about his heir. 1059 01:14:50,657 --> 01:14:54,327 And none of them really feel like they're the right person. 1060 01:14:54,452 --> 01:14:57,831 For the first time, Corlys considers Addam and Alyn. 1061 01:14:58,123 --> 01:15:00,834 Yes, they are bastards, but they are more qualified. 1062 01:15:01,167 --> 01:15:02,961 STEVE TOUSSAINT: One of the things that we talked about, 1063 01:15:03,003 --> 01:15:04,963 myself, Abu, and Geeta, 1064 01:15:05,088 --> 01:15:08,133 was that nobody speaks to Corlys that way. 1065 01:15:08,174 --> 01:15:09,467 Not if they've got any sense. 1066 01:15:09,801 --> 01:15:11,678 The only person who does is Rhaenys. 1067 01:15:12,012 --> 01:15:14,973 When it came to the tirade, this emotional speech, 1068 01:15:15,015 --> 01:15:16,683 it came down to the words 1069 01:15:16,808 --> 01:15:18,435 and playing off Steve and his reactions. 1070 01:15:18,518 --> 01:15:21,312 Alyn doesn't expect it coming out of him. 1071 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,189 I wasn't expecting it coming out of me either. 1072 01:15:23,314 --> 01:15:24,983 Like, it was one of those moments 1073 01:15:25,025 --> 01:15:27,694 where I generally felt like I could really let go. 1074 01:15:27,986 --> 01:15:29,863 I am trying to help you. 1075 01:15:30,155 --> 01:15:32,323 Now you remember I live. 1076 01:15:33,366 --> 01:15:35,201 STEVE: He watched me with my other son, 1077 01:15:35,326 --> 01:15:37,871 picking up wonderful gifts and walking into the castle. 1078 01:15:37,996 --> 01:15:40,206 And he, who knew I was his father, 1079 01:15:40,540 --> 01:15:41,833 had to grow up in poverty. 1080 01:15:41,958 --> 01:15:43,668 For me then to come into his life and sort of go, 1081 01:15:43,710 --> 01:15:44,794 "I'm trying to help you," 1082 01:15:44,878 --> 01:15:46,171 well, of course, he's gonna be resentful. 1083 01:15:46,379 --> 01:15:48,548 You understand the hurt and everything that he's carried 1084 01:15:48,673 --> 01:15:49,841 for all of these years. 1085 01:15:50,175 --> 01:15:52,010 You see the way it lands on the Seasnake. 1086 01:15:52,177 --> 01:15:53,970 And I think he knows that he hasn't been 1087 01:15:54,346 --> 01:15:55,722 the patriarchal figure that he needed to be 1088 01:15:55,847 --> 01:15:56,723 to these guys, 1089 01:15:57,057 --> 01:15:58,725 but I don't think he realizes until this moment 1090 01:15:58,808 --> 01:16:01,519 the cost that it had on this human being. 1091 01:16:01,728 --> 01:16:03,355 If it is all the same, 1092 01:16:03,855 --> 01:16:07,901 I will decline any offers of help.

1096 01:16:19,037 --> 01:16:20,205 is the seat of House Massey 1097 01:16:20,246 --> 01:16:21,539 who serves on Rhaenyra's council. 1098 01:16:21,664 --> 01:16:24,668 It's a punishment to them for siding with the pretender. 1099 01:16:24,918 --> 01:16:26,419 Aemond is showing that he's not running. 1100 01:16:26,544 --> 01:16:29,422 He's burning cities filled with innocent people instead. 1101 01:16:30,215 --> 01:16:32,926 SARA: Aemond is now, for the first time this season, 1102 01:16:33,051 --> 01:16:34,094 I think, scared. 1103 01:16:34,427 --> 01:16:37,764 From the time in season one when he got Vhagar as a boy, 1104 01:16:37,847 --> 01:16:39,516 that's changed his entire outlook. 1105 01:16:39,557 --> 01:16:42,185 And now that he's been challenged by these new dragons, 1106 01:16:42,227 --> 01:16:43,395 it's the first time that, like, 1107 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:45,605 "Oh, no, I don't have the upper hand 1108 01:16:45,689 --> 01:16:47,607 in any situation I go into." 1109 01:16:47,941 --> 01:16:49,109 GEETA: The stakes are so high 1110 01:16:49,275 --> 01:16:52,112 that if he doesn't get another rider, 1111 01:16:52,237 --> 01:16:54,698 he will have no chance against the Blacks. 1112 01:16:54,906 --> 01:16:59,119 And they will lose the throne is Aegon continues to be king. 1113 01:16:59,452 --> 01:17:01,913 In his mind, he's doing what's right 1114 01:17:01,955 --> 01:17:02,956 for his house. 1115 01:17:03,081 --> 01:17:04,207 Why must I run? 1116 01:17:04,457 --> 01:17:06,418 Because the Prince Regent is going to kill you. 1117 01:17:06,793 --> 01:17:10,213 I think from Larys' experience, those who look through you, 1118 01:17:10,255 --> 01:17:11,548 they never see you coming. 1119 01:17:11,631 --> 01:17:13,925 That's what he's trying to say to Aegon is, 1120 01:17:13,967 --> 01:17:16,469 as long as Aegon is not a threat, 1121 01:17:16,636 --> 01:17:18,138 he's relatively safe. 1122 01:17:18,430 --> 01:17:20,807 TOM GLYNN-CARNEY: Larys sees the light at the end of the tunnel. 1123 01:17:20,974 --> 01:17:22,767 Or at least he's made Aegon think he knows 1124 01:17:22,809 --> 01:17:23,977 what that could be. 1125 01:17:24,102 --> 01:17:26,896 After his encounter with Aemond in episode six, 1126 01:17:26,980 --> 01:17:28,773 Aegon knows that Larys is correct. 1127 01:17:29,149 --> 01:17:31,109 In that moment, Aemond gets desperate 1128 01:17:31,151 --> 01:17:32,736 with the newfound potential threat. 1129 01:17:32,777 --> 01:17:36,114 And he overextends and gets forceful with Helaena. 1130 01:17:36,489 --> 01:17:40,118 PHIA SABAN: I think it's desperation that reeks off him in that scene 1131 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,495 when Alicent and Helaena are both like, 1132 01:17:42,579 --> 01:17:44,289 "Bro, calm down. 1133 01:17:44,414 --> 01:17:48,168 This is not how somebody who feels really sure about 1134 01:17:48,251 --> 01:17:49,794 what they're doing behaves." 1135 01:17:50,295 --> 01:17:53,340 EWAN MITCHELL: Helaena admits she saw how I burned Aegon 1136 01:17:53,506 --> 01:17:57,177 and it's hard-hitting for Aemond to hear he's gonna go down. 1137 01:17:57,344 --> 01:18:00,096 He kind of envisioned after the war had finished 1138 01:18:00,180 --> 01:18:01,848 he'd be seen as this war hero. 1139 01:18:02,140 --> 01:18:04,517 But Helaena's prophecy puts a stop to that. 1140 01:18:04,851 --> 01:18:07,812 Helaena's probably put herself in more danger with Aemond 1141 01:18:07,854 --> 01:18:09,189 than she ever has been before. 1142 01:18:09,647 --> 01:18:11,441 -Would you not have us prevail? -Not like this. 1143 01:18:11,858 --> 01:18:14,319 SARA: Aemond is gonna be an interesting loose cannon 1144 01:18:14,361 --> 01:18:17,489 in season three because when Aemond is scared, 1145 01:18:17,530 --> 01:18:20,200 laughed at, or feels small, he lashes out. 1146 01:18:20,533 --> 01:18:22,869 You're either with him or you're against him. 1147 01:18:23,036 --> 01:18:24,788 You get in his way, you're in for a show. 1148 01:18:29,542 --> 01:18:32,796 ALYS RIVERS: All your life, you've sought to command your own fate. 1149 01:18:34,214 --> 01:18:35,840 But today, you are ready. 1150

bit of a guide for Daemon 1153 01:18:43,515 --> 01:18:46,309 and has made him ready for this thing 1154 01:18:46,351 --> 01:18:48,395 that Alys is going to show him that he was not ready for 1155 01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,647 in episode three when he showed up at the castle. 1156 01:18:51,189 --> 01:18:54,067 He's evolved in some way, and he's ready 1157 01:18:54,693 --> 01:18:57,737 to see the future. 1158 01:18:58,405 --> 01:19:00,657 RYAN: We wanted Daemon to have this final experience 1159 01:19:00,699 --> 01:19:01,700 that was undeniable to him. 1160 01:19:01,783 --> 01:19:03,660 He's somebody that has rejected the supernatural 1161 01:19:03,702 --> 01:19:04,536 his entire life. 1162 01:19:04,869 --> 01:19:07,706 SARA: We definitely wanted to tie what Daemon sees 1163 01:19:07,747 --> 01:19:10,250 to Game of Thrones because where it picks up, 1164 01:19:10,333 --> 01:19:13,086 it's Daenerys Targaryen finding those eggs. 1165 01:19:13,211 --> 01:19:16,256 She is a descendent of Daemon and Rhaenyra 1166 01:19:16,381 --> 01:19:18,425 and so what he ends up seeing is that 1167 01:19:18,508 --> 01:19:21,177 he's just this tiny piece of this massive story 1168 01:19:21,219 --> 01:19:22,887 and once you start to see that, 1169 01:19:23,221 --> 01:19:25,390 you gain an entirely different perspective. 1170 01:19:25,890 --> 01:19:30,770 This vision brings Daemon into the story of Fire and Ice 1171 01:19:30,895 --> 01:19:32,731 and takes him to his death. 1172 01:19:32,939 --> 01:19:35,567 And after his death, it shows him 1173 01:19:35,608 --> 01:19:38,737 that if he continues to only think of himself, 1174 01:19:38,778 --> 01:19:40,530 great loss will be had. 1175 01:19:40,905 --> 01:19:42,741 And then he sees a hope. 1176 01:19:42,866 --> 01:19:45,702 We know it's Daenerys, but he doesn't know who it is. 1177 01:19:46,244 --> 01:19:48,121 And he sees a White Walker, which is cool. 1178 01:19:48,246 --> 01:19:49,456 I was like, "Come on, that's cool." 1179 01:19:49,622 --> 01:19:50,790 RYAN: Even though Rhaenyra and Daemon 1180 01:19:51,041 --> 01:19:53,752 are not going to save the realm from the White Walkers, 1181 01:19:53,793

(ECHOING) 1184 01:20:02,969 --> 01:20:04,095 RYAN: To evolve from the character 1185 01:20:04,262 --> 01:20:05,972 that stormed out of Dragonstone in episode two, 1186 01:20:06,056 --> 01:20:08,475 we had to see Daemon go through all of his... (CHUCKLES) 1187 01:20:08,892 --> 01:20:09,934 ...trials and tribulations. 1188 01:20:10,101 --> 01:20:12,645 And Rhaenyra, not knowing what Daemon is going to do. 1189 01:20:12,771 --> 01:20:14,397 And then you believe he is changed, 1190 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,316 and he sees that he is not the player, 1191 01:20:16,441 --> 01:20:18,443 but a piece on the board, as Alys tells him. 1192 01:20:18,610 --> 01:20:20,779 MATT SMITH: He sees Rhaenyra on the throne, 1193 01:20:20,820 --> 01:20:24,324 and I think it gives him the confidence in himself to go, 1194 01:20:24,449 --> 01:20:25,909 "I serve you and I'm yours." 1195 01:20:26,284 --> 01:20:28,328 SARA: And it's not that everything's been resolved, 1196 01:20:28,453 --> 01:20:31,831 but Daemon realizes that his job is to facilitate 1197 01:20:31,915 --> 01:20:34,334 Rhaenyra getting to the throne, and that he... 1198 01:20:34,918 --> 01:20:39,798 understands now that Viserys wasn't trying to punish him. 1199 01:20:39,923 --> 01:20:42,926 And so he's able to let go of his anger at Rhaenyra. 1200 01:20:43,009 --> 01:20:44,344 To sort of let everything go and, 1201 01:20:44,469 --> 01:20:46,638 "Let's go do this together. I'm on your team." 1202 01:20:46,763 --> 01:20:48,598 She wasn't sure throughout the entire season 1203 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:51,142 if he was going to try to set himself up as king, 1204 01:20:51,184 --> 01:20:52,352 and it's this moment of validation 1205 01:20:52,477 --> 01:20:53,353 that she gets from him 1206 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,146 that I think is incredibly meaningful. 1207 01:20:55,438 --> 01:20:57,649 We fight for our Queen! 1208 01:20:57,691 --> 01:21:00,860 (SOLDIERS CHEER) 1209 01:21:03,822 --> 01:21:07,367 RHAENYRA: Will you see it through and make your sacrifice? 1210 01:21:08,034 --> 01:21:09,369 A son for a son? 1211 01:21:11,287 --> 01:21:13,206 You've seen the massive ways that things have changed 1212 01:21:13,331 --> 01:21:15,041 between meeting number one and meeting number two. 1213 01:21:15,166 --> 01:21:17,877 And I think both of them have been through further trauma, 1214 01:21:18,169 --> 01:21:20,463 and it's brought them back around to a place 1215 01:21:20,505 --> 01:21:22,007 where they're wondering what the cost 1216 01:21:22,132 --> 01:21:23,216 of all this is for. 1217 01:21:23,675 --> 01:21:26,219 It's massive that Alicent travels to Rhaenyra. 1218 01:21:26,344 --> 01:21:27,512 It's treason. 1219 01:21:27,637 --> 01:21:30,056 If Aemond found out, head on a spike. 1220 01:21:30,181 --> 01:21:32,017 But it's also to look Rhaenyra in the eye 1221 01:21:32,392 --> 01:21:34,352 as my, like, rawest self. 1222 01:21:34,394 --> 01:21:37,022 "This is me shedding whatever power 1223 01:21:37,063 --> 01:21:38,815 or Queenly status I had. 1224 01:21:38,898 --> 01:21:39,983 I was wrong. Take it. 1225 01:21:40,025 --> 01:21:42,068 I don't want anything to do with it. I'm done." 1226 01:21:42,527 --> 01:21:45,196 She's had this journey of self-actualization, 1227 01:21:45,238 --> 01:21:46,740 and she's got a lot of power within her. 1228 01:21:46,865 --> 01:21:50,243 And I think she feels much more capable. 1229 01:21:50,702 --> 01:21:53,538 It's funny to be offered a huge gift 1230 01:21:53,747 --> 01:21:56,249 at the point where you think you already have what you need. 1231 01:21:56,750 --> 01:21:59,377 SARA: The climax of that scene is Rhaenyra, 1232 01:21:59,419 --> 01:22:00,920 "I'm going to have to kill your son," 1233 01:22:01,046 --> 01:22:02,714 and Alicent acceding to it. 1234 01:22:02,756 --> 01:22:05,342 Which is huge for Rhaenyra because that is not something 1235 01:22:05,425 --> 01:22:07,552 that Alicent would ever have done before. 1236 01:22:07,594 --> 01:22:10,055 So I think that causes her to really believe 1237 01:22:10,096 --> 01:22:11,389 what Alicent is saying. 1238 01:22:11,598 --> 01:22:13,725 Rhaenyra has these new dragon riders, 1239 01:22:13,933 --> 01:22:17,020 she's just gotten Daemon back, she has this big army. 1240 01:22:17,103 --> 01:22:18,271 If she wanted to, 1241 01:22:18,355 --> 01:22:20,940 she could probably win this war herself. 1242 01:22:21,441 --> 01:22:24,194 But at the cost of thousands and thousands of lives. 1243 01:22:24,444 --> 01:22:27,113 And then she's sort of given this backdoor by Alicent. 1244 01:22:27,238 --> 01:22:28,948 And so I think we leave season two 1245 01:22:29,032 --> 01:22:33,703 with Rhaenyra in this place of, "What am I going to do?" 1246 01:22:34,746 --> 01:22:36,122 RYAN: It's such a beautiful scene, 1247 01:22:36,247 --> 01:22:37,624 and so wonderfully written by Sara, 1248 01:22:37,791 --> 01:22:39,584 wonderfully performed by Emma and Olivia, 1249 01:22:39,709 --> 01:22:41,461 and Geeta beautifully directed it. 1250 01:22:41,586 --> 01:22:43,546 And the way it launches us into the third season 1251 01:22:43,630 --> 01:22:45,298 and the unknown of what's to come, 1252 01:22:45,423 --> 01:22:46,716 it's a tour de force. 1253 01:22:47,300 --> 01:22:49,719 ♪ (DELICATE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS) 1254 01:22:49,803 --> 01:22:52,263 SARA:

of the day, 1257 01:22:58,603 --> 01:23:01,564 it comes down to these two women trying to figure it out. 1258 01:23:02,065 --> 01:23:03,817 RYAN: The Lannisters are arriving in the Riverlands. 1259

Triarchy's sailing. 1262 01:23:09,614 --> 01:23:11,741 We see the Seasnake going back out to sea. 1263 01:23:11,908 --> 01:23:13,618 Daemon has his army in the Riverlands. 1264 01:23:13,827 --> 01:23:15,745 Alicent's fourth son on his dragon. 1265 01:23:15,829 --> 01:23:17,997 The Blue Queen is now flying in support 1266 01:23:18,123 --> 01:23:20,250 of this massive Hightower army. 1267 01:23:20,333 --> 01:23:22,127 We find Otto in this cell somewhere, 1268 01:23:22,168 --> 01:23:23,420 and we don't know quite where he is 1269 01:23:23,461 --> 01:23:24,963 or what happened to him. 1270 01:23:25,255 --> 01:23:27,298 GEETA: Rhaena discovers a dragon. 1271 01:23:27,340 --> 01:23:29,926 And we see a forest outside of King's Landing. 1272 01:23:29,968 --> 01:23:31,344 And there is Aegon. 1273 01:23:31,511 --> 01:23:33,596 Larys and Aegon basically escape King's Landing 1274 01:23:33,638 --> 01:23:35,181 as shit's about to hit the fan. 1275 01:23:35,765 --> 01:23:38,518 It's just a reminder of things have been put in motion 1276 01:23:38,601 --> 01:23:40,020 which they can't pull back. 1277 01:23:40,145 --> 01:23:43,189 And similar to Daemon's vision, where you're seeing the things 1278 01:23:43,273 --> 01:23:44,983 that are all going to come to play a part 1279 01:23:45,025 --> 01:23:46,026 in the whole story. 1280 01:23:46,526 --> 01:23:49,154 While this season was very much about the fits and starts 1281 01:23:49,195 --> 01:23:50,530 of an early medieval war, 1282 01:23:50,613 --> 01:23:53,324 season three is clearly going to be about total war. 1283
