Original subtitles

These are our terms.

One hundred of your golden dragons.

Per ship?

Per man.

I could not produce such a coin,

Again, you plead poverty.

It is hollow stuff

Whose very stables and sculleries

And we will need it

Break the blockade

Do you think that we lack for buyers

We sell where we please, blockade or no.

Essos is as rich as it is vast.

It seems you need us

The Stepstones.

What of them?

Give us the Stepstones.

A smattering of rocks.

Hardly a sacrifice

Those rocks have been

Your...

pirates have waylaid ships,

Give them to us outright, if you prevail,

We will impose a simple tax

Recoup the losses we took fighting

- the Velaryon hordes.

You will drive up

It is better than starving, surely.

A fleet of warships, then,

They would break the blockade

Very well.

The prince regent

With the armada we send now,

and sit the Iron Throne yourself.

Of course, there is one more condition.

I was...

rather set on a bath and a flagon of wine.

The commander of our fleet

His name is Lohar.

If he does not lead them,

Very well.

Let us meet this commander then.

Admiral Lohar,

this is Tyland Lannister,

Well met, Lord Tywin.

It's Tyland.

What sort of man are you?

- I beg your pardon?

a philosopher?

I am the master of ships

- You're thin.

I will not sail with a man

At what?

Some rum wouldn't go amiss.

Your Grace.

Just a little.

You're a good man, Orwyle.

A word, Your Grace?

I must ask you, Your Grace,

We must leave King's Landing, quickly,

What?

The Pretender has found three

- That's impossible.

He flew to challenge her and was rebuffed.

Fled in terror, from what I hear.

He deserves no less.

Be that as it may,

and laid waste to the whole of the town.

Fucking mad cunt.

She really did it then?

I fear so.

So what was the fucking point

The gods are cruel, Your Grace,

No, no. I am the king.

Why must I run?

Because the prince regent

You were in danger before,

There is no telling what he will do

- while he is away--

Take me to my throne

and once he returns,

And what then?

When Rhaenyra descends

and you, without Vhagar, what then?

I have, over the years, in anticipation

moved the greater part

to the Iron Bank in Braavos.

We can live well

and remain until what is coming

You want to take me to Essos

It's best to live, I think.

- However you do it.

My dragon is dead.

Iam burnt

and disgusting

and alone.

And I'm a cripple.

You are not alone.

My cock is destroyed,

Yeah. It burst into flames

Do not despair, Your Grace.

Let your brother and the Pretender

destroy themselves

When they are spent, and their armies

and the people will rise up to meet us.

I can't even piss without it

They will be tired of endless deprivation

They will hail the returning king

his father's true heir.

Aegon the Victorious

risen from the ashes.

Aegon the Peacemaker.

Aegon the Rebuilder.

Aegon, the Realm's Delight.

This is more like it,

We're meant to be at the training yards

Yeah, and I will go

but surely they'd not deny me

I may never eat fish again.

What are you doing here?

Remove your feet from the table.

- I'd rather not.

It's not up to you, UIf.

Who's it up to then, boy?

He is the prince, UIf.

Prince Jacaerys Velaryon. Right here.

Who'd have thought it?

He lives here.

I'll have an apology from you.

The young prince!

And look at that hair.

As dark as they say.

Let them tell us we don't have

- My mother is the queen and--

You and I, cut from the same cloth.

It is a sacred inheritance of which

Forgive him, my prince.

He is not much used to the manners

Or any manners at all, I'd say.

Do you know what has happened

The so-called prince regent

Thousands of its folk dead or lost.

Will you prepare to face such an enemy?

Or will you stay here

If you hinder our efforts

I will see you hanged

and your body fed to the dogs

I meant no disrespect, my prince.

The new riders are a boon to us,

I cannot erase my doubts.

We know little of who they are

and what is the strength

Addam of Hull, at least, is known to you.

He's a shipwright in my employ

and it is reported to me

I've had little to do with him,

But the beasts have been claimed.

You now have a great advantage.

You must strike, quickly,

while the prince regent

I had hoped my advantage may be

Vhagar has ever been our foremost threat,

Vhagar is not his only dragon.

The third brother is untested,

and his dragon is younger than Vermax.

But a dragon nonetheless.

And you forget another.

Helaena?

She does not ride.

She may yet be compelled.

- And her dragon--

hatched when the Conqueror was king.

She is formidable.

Still, Helaena is no warrior.

Aemond thought himself invincible.

He has now discovered he is not.

He'll be angry, desperate.

He will not stop at burning Sharp Point,

You speak truly

though I wish it was not so.

How goes the Sea Snake?

Better than new.

We'll rejoin the blockade on the morrow.

Let our foes beware,

But my ship is no longer the Sea Snake.

She was a testament to my own glory.

I've given her a new name.

The Queen Who Never Was.

Corlys.

I thank you.

What I do now, I do for her.

Your Grace, you are ready.

You have six dragons under your banner.

My ships sail at your command,

But the Lannisters are marching,

You must crush this beast at its head

There is, of course,

another player that has yet

Ah. Your Grace, a word.

It seems the sheep on our land

My vassals have sent a drove

Dragons do eat pigs, I assume?

Caraxes prefers them.

We'll be ready to march in two days' time.

- See to those pigs.

Your Grace, Ser Alfred Broome

Interesting.

I am sent as an emissary from the queen

to ascertain your movements

You've arrived just in time

What do you think of it?

It's very large.

Lannister hesitates.

I aim to march on King's Landing

May I have a word in private, Your Grace?

I would speak honestly with you.

I'd expect nothing less.

I was faithful to the king, your brother.

I pledged my banners

I will never serve the usurpers

but there are battles to be fought...

- Traitor.

Did you hear something?

This place will have you barking

While you have mustered an army,

turning aside from our judgment

and taking a course,

Rhaenyra will chart her own course,

But you are a leader of men.

If you declare yourself,

your lords will follow you.

I never took you for a turncloak,

Ser Alfred.

Rhaenyra's intentions are good.

But what we need, in this moment,

is a king.

It appears that the Pretender

sent boats to collect

who believed they had any drop

Deception and subterfuge.

Cowards, all of them.

Let no vessel come or go from our harbor

This will hinder the work

The people depend on them for sustenance.

They will need no sustenance

We must all make our sacrifices.

Why does everybody hate us?

They're unhappy

and unhappy people

We didn't order the blockade.

No, but we are the crown

Drink this.

I was happier before I was queen.

What would you think

Where would I go?

The prince regent, Your Grace.

Helaena. Here you are. Mother.

- I was just going to bed.

- Now?

against us, and we must answer in kind.

I need you to fly

- Aemond.

Our wishes must take second place now

to what is necessary

I won't burn anyone.

It isn't a question.

- Aemond.

made commoners into dragonlords!

- Aemond! Aemond!

May I remind you your sister

As you were once! And you see now

We are in peril today more than yesterday!

Was it peril that moved you to burn

Peril or basest fury

You wish to rule the Seven Kingdoms,

but you rain ruin and death upon

because it makes you feel strong

of all our line,

- of your protection.

if she cannot protect herself?

And who will she be

‘Tis no longer our rule

Our very lives.

- Would you not have us prevail?

Not like this!

Your Grace.

Grand Maester.

I must again request your assistance.

I need passage.

And your discretion.

Do you think nothing of your oath,

Lord Commander?

I think of nothing else, my lord.

Steward's son from Dorne

Former queen.

She has broken no oath,

- I could send you to the Wall.

Stain the Hightower name for a generation.

- King's mother and his Hand.

She saved my life.

Twice.

Once from the headsman's axe

Since then, she has been

Do not think I have no shame in me, ser.

Desire for women has brought me

Then resist it.

Oh, would that it were so simple.

Your brothers in the Kingsguard

Do they?

Perhaps they do.

Or perhaps all men are corrupt

and true honor is a mist

that melts in the morning.

That is a bleak philosophy.

I have no philosophy.

Or rather, my philosophy was this.

To protect the righteous

But now,

you saw what I saw.

The dragons dance,

And all our fine thoughts,

are as nothing.

We march now toward our annihilation.

To die will be a kind of relief.

Don't you think?

You have impressed me, Lord Tyman.

King's Landing has sent a most

I hope you will testify to the worth

by agreeing to his most humble request.

I will most certainly consider it.

After dinner.

Have you ever eaten

What?

I have not and I would not.

So you reject the hospitality of my house.

A jest, my lord.

What do you take me for?

A jest!

Come.

It does not befit a prince to pout.

I'm not pouting.

What would you call it, then?

- I'm reading.

You're angry.

Aren't you?

I don't see what good it would do.

They are an insult to us.

To what makes us Targaryens.

If any common lout can ride a dragon,

- then--

- You know what I am.

You are the crown prince,

and here you are sulking

because you believe that

or the trappings of your station,

Do you believe that you

who was not sired by his noble father?

Such is the way of the world, Jace,

and in resenting it,

Easy enough to say.

I've heard the whispers

Then prove to them that you are worthy.

Get up and take your place

Well done, Lord Tyrod!

Good song, well delivered.

It's Tyland.

You have proven yourself

And more accomplished

Well...

I will be pleased to sail at your side.

And my captains with me.

To the Gullet on the morrow!

And let the Sea Snake

Ya! My king will be well pleased.

It is late.

Before you go,

Lord Tyland.

You are a handsome man,

and you have proven

I wish to have children by you.

You-- You want me to--

Indeed.

I want you to fuck my wives.

How many wives do you have?

More wine here!

Taming a dragon is thirsty work.

Oh, and some more of these little birds.

A toast.

To our new riders.

The three of you are not of noble birth

but you have done a thing

I have entrusted you with a power

And I charge you to take it up

Serve me well, and I will make you

What do you think of that, boys?

We'll be knights, just like that.

We will not fail you, my queen.

What must we do?

I had thought the mere

But Lord Corlys is right.

We must strike while we have the advantage

and end this war.

Learn your beasts and your commands.

You will fly in two days' time.

The strongholds of the usurper,

and their armies, all must be subdued.

Alone, without allies,

You wish for us to kill innocents.

- And so many.

but it cannot be helped.

We must break the will of our enemy

or more will die in a struggle

What about Vhagar?

She is fearsome, but she is one dragon.

The prince regent cannot

I'll take him on myself.

We're afraid of nothing.

- Even if you are.

to see which one of us is a coward.

I said more of these little birds!

A knight will comport himself

Best make me a knight, then.

You forget yourself,

friend.

A sense of humor would do you all good.

There is a message from Harrenhal,

Daemon?

The castellan, Ser Simon Strong.

Daemon has raised his army

but Ser Simon fears treachery.

I will not allow it.

Addam,

come with me.

Thank you.

Birds.

Do you never sleep, witch?

I'm goin' to the godswood.

When you came here,

You wished to bend the world to your will.

But you've discovered, I think,

There are omens here

You do not scoff?

I'm no longer inclined to.

I'm pleased to hear it.

Do you wish, then,

All your life, you have sought

But today you are ready.

It's all a story

and you are but one part in it.

You know your part.

You know what you must do.

Sister.

We share the same blood, you and I.

I know you wish no harm to anyone.

But in a time like this,

when the good of the realm

Our mother is not a dragonrider.

She cannot understand

that you and I have a truer call to heed.

Come with me...

to Harrenhal?

We will lay waste to Daemon and his army.

Let our enemy see that we will answer

And if I refuse?

Will you burn me as you did Aegon?

- That is a lie.

You burned him and you let him fall.

What you Say is treason.

Aegon will be king again.

He's yet to see victory.

He sits on a wooden throne.

And you...

you'll be dead.

You were swallowed up in the God's Eye,

I could have you killed.

It wouldn't change anything.

I am the castellan, Ser Simon Strong,

Well met.

Welcome to Harrenhal, my queen.

Your message gave me much concern.

Yes, I must admit I had reason to fear.

But come, see for yourself.

I wasn't expecting you.

That seems rather a lapse in foresight.

- I see you have done well here.

And not a moment too soon.

And to whom are you sworn?

The realm's only hope

is a leader who can unite it

yOu.

You are the true queen, Rhaenyra.

First of Her Name.

Protector of the Realm.

I am meant to serve you,

until death

or the end of our story.

My queen.

For every one of us who falls,

a hundred of them!

There will be no mercy!

We fight for our queen!

You sent for me, Lord Hand.

Gulls are flying low today.

The weather will change.

Not until late, I think, but

- I will ready the storm sails.

and are like to find ourselves in peril,

I wish to set out on good terms

Have I been remiss in my duties?

You've done what is asked of you,

But you are curt, silent,

You cannot lead if you do not inspire.

Well, I never asked to lead,

You have been given a position

Forgive me, my lord.

I am trying to help you.

You want to help me?

Is this the help you offer after

A reminder to be grateful?

I mean no offense.

You may go.

Do you know what it was like for us?

To grow up fatherless,

to be sneered upon as bastards,

Do you know what hunger does to a boy?

What grief does?

- Or shame?

I sold fish in the market

putting by coppers

and I watched the man

with his son and heir

Choosing sweetmeats to eat

And now that boy is dead.

And his sister before him.

And the heir that took his place.

And now, now, now you remember I live.

Now you wish to--

suddenly to scatter

I am an honorable man

But if it is all the same,

If I survive this war,

I will continue as I began,

alone.

You have done what no one

and you have been rewarded.

The gods favor you.

They put the means to victory

And yet, to claim it, I must strike

and in striking,

I do not believe my father

He left you with no choice.

Be strong. You know you are just.

You must not let the Realm fall to those

You must prevail.

And who pays the price?

Come.

Begging your pardon, Your Grace.

I had to see you.

- Who knows?

He laid down his sword at your gate.

I've been, I think mistaken.

In what?

I was raised to believe

that there was security

I resented you, I think,

for knowing what you wanted.

I did not know what I wanted.

I knew only what was expected of me.

- Why have you come here?

Or rather, it was taken from me.

All those I put my faith in, my husband,

The incorruptible queen

Do not judge me

Your father died.

I too have desires.

Yes, but you alone

And I clung to it, in defiance of you,

I have been alone, of late.

I walked outside the walls of the city

- How lovely for you.

what I would choose,

if not for the duty I put before all else.

Shall you cast your son down

No, I do not wish to rule, I wish to live.

To be free of all this endless

The crown will pursue war

But as for me,

I would take my daughter

It's too late, Alicent.

You said it yourself.

Blood has been shed,

and you wish to wash your hands

The arrogance of blaming me,

as if you would not have been

Did not your hand bring it forth

I did only what I thought

Oh, go then.

Leave us behind, as you say.

Rhaenyra.

Wander in the wilderness.

What has it got to do with me?

Did you come here thinking

He never stopped loving your mother,

He was very fond of me, and I of him, but

she was the vision that sustained him

even after she herself

his love for her that kept him resolute

And yet, you believe

Why have you come here?

Aemond will soon fly to join Cole

When he's gone,

Helaena as queen will be

If you come then to King's Landing,

that our guards throw down their arms,

we will open the gates,

You will enter as a conqueror.

Already you have the stronger hand.

Once you take the throne

this senseless war must end.

Right.

What of Aegon?

He's broken beyond recognition.

He lies in the dark, in pain and terror.

He has many faults, but

he still heeds his mother.

- to bend the knee, if indeed--

you defend him.

Still you imagine you

without paying too high a price,

- a price I had no choice but to pay.

is to set things right.

If I am to take the throne,

I must take Aegon's head.

And I have to do it for all to see.

However you may try to evade it,

Choose.

Will you shrink from what

Or will you see it through

and make your sacrifice?

A son for a son.

You are much changed.

Let us be done with this, please.

And what do I do with you now?

You let me go, to do what I promised.

And you fly to the Red Keep

and you take your throne.

Or you take me for a liar.

I have neither weapon nor armor.

I cast myself on the mercy of a friend

History will paint you a villain.

A cold queen,

grasping for power, and then defeated.

Let them think what they must.

I am at last myself

with no ambition greater than to walk

where I please

To die unremarked and unnoticed

and be free.

You speak as if from a distant dream.

Come with me.

My part is here, whether I will or no.

It was decided for me long ago.

Go.
