The queen did not
name you Hand.
179

It is her voice,
and that of
the king consort,
180
00:12:59,237 --> 00:13:02,532
that we need
to raise alliances
and command our vassals.
181
00:13:02,532 --> 00:13:05,744

of this council?

Our enemy
is on the march.

Is there naught to be done
in the absence of the queen,
186
00:13:20,759 --> 00:13:24,095
but to grouse
and claw for power?
187

(Bartimos sighs)
188
00:13:30,185 --> 00:13:32,604
We do not know
the queen's doings.
189

But we must trust
that she seeks the same

as each of us
at this table.

Daemon, of all people,

00:16:28,738 --> 00:16:31,116
It is beyond
his faculties.

on Rhaenyra's council.

After Cole smashes it,
250
00:17:15,326 --> 00:17:17,662
we'll have Dragonstone
effectively cut off by land.
251
00:17:19,372 --> 00:17:22,167
This war will not be won
with dragons alone,

267
00:18:52,424 --> 00:18:54,759
Harrenhal is
a useful morass.
268
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:57,762
It will keep Daemon
well-occupied while
we strengthen our host
269
00:18:57,762 --> 00:19:00,056
and weaken Rhaenyra's
support on the mainland.
270

We will deal with it
in the Riverlands in time.

But right now.
Rook's Rest is
an easy target
272
00:19:07,439 --> 00:19:09,441
and a worthy effort.
273

after your absence
from the small council.
280

(sighs) You're kind
to do so, my lord,
282
00:19:49,481 --> 00:19:52,108
but indulgence
was my sin.

00:19:52,108 --> 00:19:55,320
I... ventured
into the lamprey pie
at last night's supper.
284
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,280
Too far, I fear.
285

(heavy breathing)

Larys Strong:
Mm.
287
00:20:03,703 --> 00:20:06,164
That is a rich indulgence.
288
00:20:06,998 --> 00:20:10,669
But I believe
it is a sin to deny
your appetites.
289
00:20:10,669 --> 00:20:13,880
They are what
make us fully alive
as mortal men.
290
00:20:18,176 --> 00:20:20,637
Was anything of note
discussed at the council?
291
00:20:20,637 --> 00:20:22,555
Daemon having
seized Harrenhal
292
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:25,475
and His Grace's
resulting displeasure.
293
00:20:25,475 --> 00:20:29,354
I would've thought
you would be the most
aggrieved, my lord.
294
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:32,607
I see it as a loss
for our greater good.
295
00:20:34,192 --> 00:20:36,569
Dragonstone's attentions
are greatly divided.
296
00:20:36,569 --> 00:20:40,740
First in the Riverlands
and the Gullet,
and now the Crownlands.
297
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:42,701
Ser Criston wins
every challenge
he faces there.
298

That truth alone
is like to incite
Rhaenyra's fury.
299
00:20:46,913 --> 00:20:49,541
He's covered himself
in glory, to be sure.
300
00:20:50,709 --> 00:20:53,211
And you must
worry for him?
301
00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:55,880
Your sworn sword...

00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:01,886
It is a perilous road.
305

Ser Criston is
the Hand of the King.
306
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,229
We should all pray
for his victory
and safe return.
307
00:21:12,272 --> 00:21:13,481
Indeed.
308
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:17,277

312
00:21:36,588 --> 00:21:38,923
Only weeks ago,
my lord husband
was alive
313
00:21:38,923 --> 00:21:40,967
and the realm
was at peace.
314
00:21:41,426 --> 00:21:45,096
Now, I've...
barely had the hours
to grieve one tragedy
315
00:21:45,096 --> 00:21:46,264
before suffering
the next.
316
00:21:46,264 --> 00:21:49,934
I regret
if I have not
been myself.
317
00:21:51,978 --> 00:21:52,979
Hm.
318
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,107
I did not know you shared
your lord husband's love...

for the histories.
320
00:22:00,445 --> 00:22:04,115

322

He knew that
his wisdom alone
323
00:22:08,912 --> 00:22:10,080
could only
reach so far.
324
00:22:10,455 --> 00:22:12,957
Do you think that is why
he changed his mind...
325
00:22:14,292 --> 00:22:16,920
in the end?
326
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,840
No matter how
suited he thought
Rhaenyra for the crown,
327
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,470
the, uh,
voices of history,
as you say,
328
00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:28,348
would have told him
how the realm would react
329
00:22:28,348 --> 00:22:30,809

362
00:25:06,214 --> 00:25:10,677

Some kind of maester?
- In a manner of speaking.
363
00:25:10,677 --> 00:25:14,347
I inherited the duties
after the last one
fled in the night.
364

Sleep can be...
thin in this place.

Harrenhal's
been cursed since its
first stone was laid.

373
00:25:43,168 --> 00:25:45,378
Heart trees, imbued
with the spirits of those
374
00:25:45,378 --> 00:25:47,505
who lived long
before he came.
375
00:25:47,505 --> 00:25:51,217
- It's said their whispers
can still be heard sometimes.
- A midwife's tale.
376
00:25:51,217 --> 00:25:54,888
Mm, the very bed
you sleep in was made
from such a heart tree.

anything... of note?

yourself to her.

my lord bent the knee
to King Viserys

Your Grace.
525
00:34:42,749 --> 00:34:46,002
Cole's host has grown
since riding abroad.
526
00:34:46,002 --> 00:34:48,213
He raised
the levies of both
Rosby and Stokeworth
527
00:34:48,213 --> 00:34:51,091
and, with their
combined strength,
sacked Duskendale.
528
00:34:51,091 --> 00:34:52,717
Duskendale?
529
00:34:52,717 --> 00:34:54,761
The city has fallen.
530
00:34:54,761 --> 00:34:56,680
Many Darklyn men
declared for Aegon.
531
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,682

were put to the sword.
532

533

He kept his oath.
534
00:35:02,394 --> 00:35:04,270
Cole took
his head for it.
535
00:35:06,481 --> 00:35:09,234
Where have you been,
these last days?
536
00:35:09,234 --> 00:35:11,903
You vanished without
so much as a word.
537
00:35:12,612 --> 00:35:15,740
Well, I apologize
for my absence
and the secrecy,
538
00:35:15,740 --> 00:35:17,742
but such
was necessary.
539
00:35:18,576 --> 00:35:20,578
I went
to King's Landing.
540
00:35:21,579 --> 00:35:23,248
To what possible end?
541
00:35:23,248 --> 00:35:25,583
To meet Queen Alicent
and sue for peace.
542
00:35:25,583 --> 00:35:28,378
- You saw Alicent?
- Rhaenyra: Yes, I did.
543
00:35:28,378 --> 00:35:30,755
You could've been taken
or slain!
544
00:35:30,755 --> 00:35:34,634
I inherited
80 years of peace
from my father.
545
00:35:34,634 --> 00:35:36,302
Before I was
to end it,
546
00:35:36,302 --> 00:35:39,347
I needed to know
that there was
no other path.
547
00:35:41,933 --> 00:35:43,518
And now I do.
548
00:35:47,105 --> 00:35:49,107
Only one choice
remains to me:
549
00:35:49,107 --> 00:35:53,361
either I win my claim
or die.
550
00:35:54,988 --> 00:35:57,282
We stand
at the ready.
551
00:35:58,158 --> 00:36:00,452

Cole's victories have
only emboldened him.
552
00:36:00,452 --> 00:36:02,579
He marches
on Rook's Rest.
553
00:36:02,579 --> 00:36:04,164
His host was
just hours away
554
00:36:04,164 --> 00:36:07,292
- when Lord Staunton's
ravens took wing.
- Why Rook's Rest?
555
00:36:07,292 --> 00:36:08,668
After Duskendale?
556
00:36:08,668 --> 00:36:10,837
It is but a small
coastal keep.
557
00:36:10,837 --> 00:36:14,632
Alfred:
'Cause Lord Staunton is
a member of this council.
558
00:36:14,632 --> 00:36:18,595
And because his castle
is small and vulnerable
and there for the taking.
559
00:36:18,595 --> 00:36:21,014

we have no army
on the mainland.
