I am stressed out of my mind, so there is nothing like a little swashbuckling in some medieval times. epicness with Tara humming music will not do to cure my stressful mood. How are you, Tara?

Starting point is 00:01:56 Let's get this going. That sounds like a plan. Three, two, one, click They're all like we ride at dawn Summon to court to answer for the crimes for your bannerman, Gregor Clegane, the mount. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Tara. Of the crown.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Forrest, Doc. Oh, he was an alien three, Tara. Brave man, terrible judgment. Attacking him was stupid. I got his last him, Charles, something. I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it. Great practical effects. I don't want it, though. Nope.
Starting point is 00:02:42 You're going to say something clever? Catlin Stark took my brother. Why is he still alive? Terry? Let's Stark. One of our men interfered. Oh, this is the dad? The leg before I could finish him.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Yeah. Why is he still alive? It wouldn't have been clean. Clean. You spend too much time worrying about what other people think of you. Including me. I could care less what anyone thinks of me. You know, that's what you want people to think.
Starting point is 00:03:11 It's the truth. Mm-hmm. When you hear them whispering Kingslayer behind your back, doesn't it bother you? You can tell he definitely thinks what his father thinks about him. Of course, it bothers me. Lion doesn't concern himself with the opinions of a sheep. Ooh. Wow, this is an amazing crop.
Starting point is 00:03:29 I'm starting to think it's real. I was going to say, are we sure this is a prop? I think it might be real, and he knows how to skin it. I'm giving you half of our forces. We'll bring them to Catalin Stark's girlhood home. Didn't realize you play such a high value in my brother's life. He's a Lannister. Pay a value on the last name.
Starting point is 00:03:47 And every day that he remains a prisoner, the less our name commands respect. Exactly. So the lion does concern himself with the opinions of us. A fact. Uh-oh. If another house can seize one of our own, unhoping captive, with impunity, we are no longer a house to be feared.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Hmm. It's what this all is. It's all a chess game. Your mother's dead. Before long, I'll be dead. And you. And your brother. God.
Starting point is 00:04:14 This is great dialogue. All of us dead. All of us rotting in the ground. I know I have a weak stomach for this kind of crap, but I'm sorry, guys. I don't want to see it. It's the family name that lives. on. It's all that lives
Starting point is 00:04:28 on. Not your personal glory, not your honor, but family. You understand? Amazing that they did that, all of that dialogue during this and the continuity was... Yeah. Like, that's disgusting, but honestly, like,
Starting point is 00:04:43 you only get, like, one take for that. I mean, yeah, because if he messes up in it is real, you get to get another one in there? And you're still blessed with youth. And what have you done with these blessings? Huh? You've served as a glorified body. God for two kings wants him to be more ambitious one of madmen the other are drunk you should hear
Starting point is 00:05:02 what he's doing with your daughter that's in a weird story the future of our family will be determined in these next few months we could establish a dynasty that will last a thousand years or we could collapse into nothing as the targaryans did oh that's denarish right she's a targaryan yes i need you to become the man you were always meant to be not next year not tomorrow terror where's your No, sorry, I was just reading the subtitles. Now you're good. DeNaris is a Targaryen, yes. She's with the Duthraki.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I didn't see in my peripherals, your notebooks. I was like, uh-oh. I was kidding. I have never seen Jamie so phased like he was in that same. I mean, yeah, the one interaction with Ned for sure, you know, but that one especially, I never seen him so phased like that with his father. How do you know? Dad rules.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Also, he really cares what he thinks. You're in pain. I've had worse, my lady. Perhaps it's time to go home. He was trying. South doesn't seem to agree with you. I know the truth John Aaron died for. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Do you, Lord Stark? Is that why you called me here to pose me riddles? As he's done this before? Robert. Ooh. My brother's worth a thousand of your friend. Your brother? Your lover.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Oh, that's so disgusting. There we go. It's out in the open. Targaryen's wed brothers and sisters for 300 years to keep bloodlines pure. Jamie and I am four than brother and sister. We shared a wound.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Okay. Came into this world together. We belong together. They're twins. I didn't realize they were twins. My son saw you with him. And you killed him for it. Well, you tried to kill him.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Brain is still alive. Do you love your children? With all my heart. No more than I love mine. And they're all James. Thank the gods. In the rare event that Rob believes his whores for long enough to stumble drunk into my bed,
Starting point is 00:06:50 I finish him off in other ways. In the morning, he doesn't remember. You've always hated him. I worshipped him. Every girl in the Seven Kingdoms dreamed of him, but he was mine by oath. And when I finally saw him on our wedding day in the sect of Baylor, lean and fierce and black-bearded, it was the happiest moment of my life. But it was the saddest for his.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And that night he crawled on top of me, stinking of wine, and did what he did what little he could do. And whispered in my ear, Leana. Oh, is that his sister's name? Mm-hmm. Your sister was a corpse, and I was a living girl, and he loved her more than me. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, doomed relationship.
Starting point is 00:07:26 When the king returns from his hunt, I'll tell him the truth. You must be gone by then. You and your children, I will not have their blood on my hands. Go as far away as you can with as many men as you can. Because wherever you go, Robert's Roth will follow you. You should have taken the realm for yourself. Jamie told me about the day King's Landing fell. He was sitting in the Iron Throne and you made him give it up.
Starting point is 00:07:47 All you needed to do was climb the steps yourself. Such a sad mistake. Hmm. I've made many mistakes in my life. Haven't we all? But that wasn't one of them. Oh, but it was. He doesn't crave power.
Starting point is 00:08:00 When you play the Game of Thrones, you win, or you die. There is no middle ground. But is there a middle earth? No. Is that what they teach you up in the north? Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? Let's start over. You be the man and you be the woman.
Starting point is 00:08:20 And what do you want? Oh, everything. Everything there is. Where I come from, we don't show mercy to criminals Or I come from if someone like you attacked a little lord But low tide we'd lay you on your back On the beach, your hands and feet chained to four stakes Yikes
Starting point is 00:08:37 Sea would come in closer and closer You'd see death creeping towards you a few inches at a time If your father's lord, how can you be Lord too? I will be Lord after my father So you're not Lord now? Are you having a go at me? Is that it? It's just trying, isn't it? Just don't understand how you southerners do things.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I'm not a southerner. You're from south of the wall. That makes you a southerner to me. You're an impudent little wench, aren't you? Couldn't say, my lord? I don't know what impudent means. Impudent. It means rude. You want to lose that chain.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Leon Greyjoy. The lady is our guest. Thought she was our prisoner. Are the two mutually exclusive? Chances are I won't be nearby the next time that happened. I'm used to worse than him. I'm used to men could chew that boy up and pick their teeth with his bones.
Starting point is 00:09:31 What are you afraid of? There's things that sleep in the day and hunt at night. Not white walkers, right? Owls and shadow cats. I'm not talking about owls and shadow cats. The things you speak of. We literally have not seen those white walkers since the first five minutes.
Starting point is 00:09:46 They've been gone for thousands of years. There wasn't gone, old man. They were sleeping, and they ain't sleeping no more. hibernation i miss girls not even talking to them i never talk to them just looking at them hearing them giggle it's easier if you don't talk them you avoid rejection look at myself i'm a real reject don't you miss girls damn riders the horn we have to blow the horn why is he alone is there anybody on the horse or is it a dead person on yours i can't tell two for wildlings there's no rider yeah don't blow the horn
Starting point is 00:10:23 That's my uncle Benjans horse. No, I was worried it was Uncle Benjans. Oh, God dang it. Where's my uncle? Hmm. Ned. Robert. We were hunting.
Starting point is 00:10:38 What? A bull. Oh my god, what? What? He got attacked by a boar? I guess. I should have spent more time with you. Showing how to be a man.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Damn, you can see blood in his mouth to look like that. that for a moment. I was never meant to be a father. I mean, boars are very dangerous animals. I could do some serious damage. Go on. You don't want to see this. My fault.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Too much wine. Missed my thrust. Yikes. Holy. Oh, boy, that doesn't look good at all. Stinks. Really bad. It stinks like death.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Mm-hmm. I want the funeral. feast to be the biggest the kingdoms ever saw. Um... I don't want everyone to taste the bore that got me. Is this the time to tell this? I mean, it's very important information. I'll leave us a lot of you.
Starting point is 00:11:36 I need to talk to Ned. Robert, my sweet. Out, to all of you. I mean, I guess you better tell them now, otherwise, not going to have a chance to, later. Hereby command, Edard, of House Stark titles, to serve as Lord Regent. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:51 protector of the realm you know what that reminds me of gladiator to rule in my stead until my son joffrey comes of age where he wanted to leave it with uh russell crow in the charge this because he didn't trust wakene phoenix we need to protect this note at all costs or this letter rather whatever this is give it to the council yeah it's weird that they wouldn't have a witness a witness At least they'll say I did this right, this... Yeah, but the problem with... One thing, you'll rule now. You'll hate it worse than I did, but you'll do it well.

Starting point is 00:13:19 give him milk of the puppy milk of the I'm assuming that's, like, something to put him out? Yeah. To permanently. He was reading from the wine. He commanded us to stab aside, but I failed him. No man could have protected him from himself. I wonder, Sir Barriston, who gave the king this wine?
Starting point is 00:13:39 His squire. Oh, are they trying to say it was a conspiracy? From the king's own skin. Well, honest, boy. Such a dutiful boy to make sure his grace did not lack refreshment. I do hope the poor lad does not blame himself. Oh, trying to make it a conspiracy. Ugh.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Mm-hmm. His grace has had a change of heart concerning DeNaris Targaryen. Whatever arrangements you made, un-make them at once. Yeah. I'm afraid that the kids have flown. The girl is likely dead already. Oh, shit. It.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Mm-hmm Yeah, So she is thinking about it. She is thinking about it. Oh, for sure. Throne. Mm-hmm. I love
Starting point is 00:14:25 Navassoe. She is thinking about it. Oh, for sure. Oh, for sure. Queen to welcome him at home. She's like, nope. She's like, nope, I want the throne.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Let's go. My brother was a fool, I know, but he was the rightful heir to the seven kingdoms. But your ancestor, Agon, the conqueror, didn't see six of the kingdoms because they were his right. He had no right to them. He sees them because he could. Oh. And because he had dragons. All right, we need dragons, Tara.
Starting point is 00:15:00 You don't believe it. Have you ever seen a dragon, Pallisi? I believe what my eyes and ears report. As for the rest, it was 300 years ago. Well, who knows what really happened. A long time. Now, if you'll pardon me, I'll seek out the merchant captain. See if he has any letters from you.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Well, I'll come with you. No, no, don't trouble yourself. Enjoy the market. I'll rejoin you soon enough. I really like their chemistry together. They're very good. Agreed. The spider sends his greetings and his congratulations.
Starting point is 00:15:29 This isn't part of that thing he said. The birds have flown, is it? You can go home now. A royal pardon. You have the honor of addressing Daeneres of the house Targaryen. Calisi of the ridingman and princess of the seven kingdoms. Princess. Rise.
Starting point is 00:15:48 What's in that? Still like to taste that wine. That, dawn is swill. Not worthy of a princess. Oh. I have a dry red from the arbor. Oh. We give you a cask.
Starting point is 00:15:59 A gift. You honor me, sir. The honor, the honor is all mine. What is in that drink? Or wine. You know, there are many in your homeland. pray for your return, princess. I hope to repay your kindness someday.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Recaro, pass oh, he has home. Yeah, like that's what I'm saying. Feels like this poison or something. Something wrong? I have a thirst. Open it. The wine is for the calise. It's not for the likes of you.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Open it. Let us see. You first. Yeah, lead by example. I'm afraid I am not worthy of the vintage. Besides, it is a poor wine merchant who would drink up his own wares. You will drink. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Oh! No! Alright, so he was by the... Whoa! Nice! He's gonna whip him into shape. So he was from the kingdom, sent a killer. Some of you bear the names of proud houses.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Others only bastard names and no names at all. Here, on the wall, we are all. We are all one house. It's going to be a ranger. Isn't that what you always wanted? I want to find my uncle. No, he's alive out there. No he is.
Starting point is 00:17:19 We can't abandon the wall. You all learnt the words in your vowel. Think carefully before you say them. The penalty for desert is death. So is John going to desert to find his uncle? Because that's the way they're framing it, I don't know. I was named in the light of the seven, as my father was, and his father before him.
Starting point is 00:17:37 Why would you forsake the gods of your father and your house? Are they forsaken, for, for, so could say him or whatever to hear? The knight's watch is my house now. The seven have never answered my prayers. Perhaps the old gods will. As you wish. Lovely. Ballion to the Rangers, Rust to the Rangers, John to the stewards,
Starting point is 00:17:57 Rancet to the builder. What? Not the Rangers? What? Rangers Escan. What? He's like the best one there. He was just doing that as punishment for all his insubordination the entire time he's been there.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Sir Alistair is such a prick. Yeah, it's not because he's not worthy of being a ranger. Samuel, you will assist me in the rookery and library. Darian, we are sending you to Eastwatch. Make no comment about his nose. Huh. John Snow, the Lord Commander Mormont has requested you for his personal steward. Oh.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Well, I serve the Lord Commander's meals and fetch hot water for his buck. Certainly. And keep a fire burning in his chambers. Sweet. I would stand right near that fire. And do everything else the Lord Commander requires of you. Oh, boy. Do you take me for a servant?
Starting point is 00:18:50 We took you for a man of the night's watch. But perhaps we were wrong in that. Hmm. May I go? As you wish. What is this? The Princess Bride? You're not Wesley.
Starting point is 00:19:01 You can't say as you wish. You'll be within day and night. Yes, she'll clean his clothes. You'll also take his letters, attend him at meetings, squire for him in battle. Hmm. You'll know everything, be part of everything. It's a good point. I like a man who thinks with the glass half full.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I always wanted to be a ranger. Still can be. I always wanted to be a wizard. What? Oh, I'm serious. Now I really want them to cast this actor in the new Harry Potter series. He named you protector of the realm. Give me an hour, and I can put a hundred swords at your command.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Hmm. We must get Joffrey away from his mother and into our custody. Protector of the realm or no, he who holds the king holds the kingdom. Ugh. Huh. I just don't know who to trust. By the time Robert dies, it would be too late for the both of us. What about Stanis?
Starting point is 00:19:52 I feel like he wants to, he's leading him into a trap, and he wants to... Stanis is your older brother. This isn't about the bloody line of succession. That didn't matter when you rebelled against the Mad King. It shouldn't matter now. Hmm. We all know what Stan is. He inspires no love or loyalty.
Starting point is 00:20:06 He's not a king. I am. I will not dishonor Robert's last hours by shedding blood in his halls. Mm. Dragging frightened children from their beds. He's such a good man. You will sail to Dragonstone tonight. You will place this in the hand of Stanis Barathin, not his steward, not his wife.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Whoa, that's cool. Is Stanis himself. Yes, my lord. Little finger. finger. The king has no true-born sons. Geoffrey and Tomon
Starting point is 00:20:37 and Jeremy Lannister's bastards. Let me guess. He already know. When the king dies. The throne passes to his brother, Lord Stennis.
Starting point is 00:20:47 He is the rightful heir. Nothing can change that. And he cannot take the throne without your help. You would be wise to deny it to him and to make sure Geoffrey succeeds. Why?
Starting point is 00:20:57 Geoffrey is the worst. You are now hand of the king and protector of the realm. All of the power is yours. you need only reach out, make peace with the Lannisters, release the imp, wedge your daughter to Joffrey. You'll need someone to share these burdens, I assure you. My price would be modest. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Make peace with the Lannisters, you say, with the people who try to murder my boy. We only make peace with our enemies, my lord. That's why it's called making peace. You promised Catalan you'd help me. The queen has a dozen knights and a hundred men at arms, Enough to overwhelm what remains of my household guard. I need the gold cloaks. When the queen proclaims one king and the hand proclaims another,
Starting point is 00:21:41 whose peace do the gold cloaks protect? Who do they follow? This is such a whack-a-doo situation. Man who pays them. It's true. Hear my words and bear witness to my vow. Night gathers. We still believe in the old gods.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Tara. It shall not end until my death. The blood, that's so... I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword
Starting point is 00:22:11 in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. Wow, they were really in sync on this as actors. What's he got there? To me, ghost. Bring it here.
Starting point is 00:22:20 God be good. Oh, boy. I'm really hoping that's not Benjian's hand. King Robert still wants me dead. Poisoner was the first. He won't be the last. I thought he'd leave me a land.
Starting point is 00:22:31 No, now that my brother is gone. He will never leave you alone. They just mentioned Robert Barathean, right? Okay, if the thing went, I wasn't sure. You're a Targaryen, the last Targaryen. Your son will have Targaryen blood with 40,000 riders behind it. He will not have my son. He will not have you either, Carlysee.
Starting point is 00:22:51 He's so protective over her. I love it. Amclad, he's yelia, Zivin, I have a shop. That I'm glad he's giving him credit. Seriously, I love when people give others credit, when they deserve it. Okay. So appreciative. Man an avaroshak ash, aka.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Man an ha, a d'o-dor-chikate, fina-neve-a-we-mey-sima. Hmm, now he wants the throne. Yeah, after that, that's a good enough reason to want, and I think it might fit it. All is accomplished, the city watch is yours. Good. Is Lord Renley joining us? I fear Lord Renley has left the city.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Oh, God. Okay. I command the council to make all necessary arrangements for my coronation. I wish to be crowned within the fortnight. Today I shall accept odes of fealty from my loyal counsellors. Oh, God. This guy. King Robert's seal, unbroken. Lord Edard Stark is here. Herein named Protector of the Realm, to rule as regents until the heir come of age.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Hmm. May I see that letter, Sir Barriston? What is she going to do, the letter? Just rip it up? I don't know. Or be like, it's not his writing. It's forgery. Or who knows? It's Circe. Protector of the realm. Is this meant to be your shield, Lord Stark? Oh, yep. Piece of paper.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Oh, yeah, I mean, you should have known that, Ned. Yeah. She doesn't have. They don't honor things like you guys do. Bend the knee and swear loyalty to my son. And we shall allow you to live out your days in the gray waste you call home. Oh, God. Your son has no claim to the throne. Seize this traitor.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Sabarison is a good man, a loyal man. Do him no harm. You think he stands alone? Oh, God. Take the queen and her children into custody. Escort the backs of the royal apartments and keep them there under guard. Men of the watch. Oh snap here we go here we go and the watch tell your men to lay down their swords no one needs to die
Starting point is 00:25:08 No what wait oh no they've been betrayed oh my god who I did warn you not to trust I told you oh I was eight oh my god Oh, amazing episode, though. Friends, family, I wasn't raised what you would call financially literate. At the young age, we did lose her house. I have what you might call money trauma, I guess.

Starting point is 00:27:53 Only because you lied. My tongue lied. My eyes shouted the truth. You were not seen. I watched for you. Watching is not seeing. The seeing, the true sea. That is the heart of sword play.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Arias Dark, come with us. Your father wants to see you. Why is it that Lord Edard is sending Lannister men? Mm-hmm. Smart.

Starting point is 00:29:07 Let me guess Jopry request your presence. I'll tell the queen. Who do you think sent me? Uh-oh. That was creepy. My father's a lord. He'll reward you. She'll reward me.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Queen. Oh my god, fine needle girl. Whoa! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shit! Had to do it. Get out of there, are you? Lord Stark, you must be thirsty.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Such a treacherous man. I promise you, it isn't poison. Why is it no one ever trusts the unit? Let me drink first to prove it. What are my daughters? The younger one seems to have escaped the castle. Even my little birds cannot find her. And censor?
Starting point is 00:29:47 Still engaged to Joffrey. Ooh. The rest of your heart. Houseville, though, all dead. Ah. Ah. Agreed me to say, I do so hate the sight of blood. You watch my men being slaughtered and did nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:57 Uh. And what again, my lord? Wow. I was unarmed, unarmored, and surrounded by Lannister swords. Yeah. I mean, I do get his point of view. What madness led you to tell the queen you had learned the truth about Joffrey's birth. The madness of mercy.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Yeah. I trust you know you're a dead man, Lord Edd. Mm. Queen can't kill me. Cowl's a brother. The wrong brother, sadly. lost to her. Your wife has let the imp slip through her fingers.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Now you have no Liebredge. Oh, do you truly serve? Myself. The realm, my lord. Someone must. Fair enough. The other one's Jaffa flowers, my lord. That's the hand the wolf tore off. God. So it's not
Starting point is 00:30:40 Benjian. That's... still might be out there. What smell? There is none. It's like every... The blood's been sucked out. If they'd been dead for a long time, wouldn't they be rot? Mm-hmm. You may be a coward, Tarley. You're not stupid.
Starting point is 00:30:55 A raven from King's Landing. Come on, move him out. All right. The King is dead. Is there any word of my father? He's imprisoned. Lord Stark has been charged with treason. They say conspired with Robert's brothers to deny the throne to Prince Geoffrey.
Starting point is 00:31:13 I hope you're not thinking of doing anything stupid. Your duty lies here now. My sisters were in King's Landing too. This is literally stuck between a rock in a hard place Oh, God Ooh The king was his friend Salsa Sweetling, you were innocent of any wrong
Starting point is 00:31:32 We know that Yet you are the daughter of a traitor Oh God How can I allow you to marry my son She is a sweet thing now, your grace But in ten years Who knows what treason she may hatch Oh God
Starting point is 00:31:45 A girl is innocent Your Grace She should be given a chance To put him for loyalty Well of her because he loves her mom You must write to Lady Catlin And your brother, the eldest, what's his name? Rob.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Word of your father's arrest will reach him soon, no doubt. Hmm. Tell him to come to King's Landing and swear his fealty to Joffrey. Oh, God. If I could see my father talked to him about... You disappoint me, child.
Starting point is 00:32:09 We've told you of your father's treason. Why would you want to speak to a traitor? It's like her father. I only meant that what will happen to him. Really emotionally manipulating her. That depends. On what, on your brother? And on you.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Oh, God. She is such a cruel and wicked woman. Treason. Sonsor all this. It is your sister's hand, but the queen's words. Exactly. If you should refuse to obey. I won't refuse.
Starting point is 00:32:36 His grace summons me to King's Landing. I'll go to King's Landing. Let's get the dad out of prison. They're not alone. Let's bring an army of whatever men we have. All of them were old. They've also wanted to defend my father, have they not. They have.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Now we see where the words are worth. Wow. All right, here we go. We ride at dawn. You should go to him, teach him patience. Ned rocks in a dungeon, and you speak of patience. All right. And I will not risk Robin's life to get caught up in another of your husband's wars.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I'm hungry. Oh. But if you're asking me to send men from the veil to fight, that is what I ask. She won't do it. Are you an idiot? I mean, they killed her husband. My husband. Really, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:33:21 You say they shoved your boy from a window. I get the... People will do anything. And that is why we have to stop them. The knights of the veil will stay in the veil where they belong. Ah. What do you want, Bron? Gold, women, golden women?
Starting point is 00:33:36 Hey. Stick with me and you'll have them all. Hmm. Well, as long as I'm around and not a moment longer. If I really did live in this universe, I would definitely hang with Tyrion the most. That is why you so valiantly took up arms to defend my honor. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Yeah, he knew what he was doing. But don't go looking for me to bend the knee and reward you every time you take a shit. And if the day ever comes when you're tempted to sell me out, remember this. Whatever their price, I'll beat it. That's a great line.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Tyrion. Oh, God. Oh. Who do we got here? They are surrounded. I am Tyrion, son of Tywin, of Clan Lanister. like to die tyrian son of tywin i would like to make you rich those the best weapons you could steal good enough for killing sheep if the sheep don't fight back lannister smith's shit better steal oh oh

No, there's a sight. Not only a bastard, but a traitor's bust. God, Sir Alastor, it's such a pain in my ass. Ignore it. You got to just ignore it, man.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Oh! Or we can try to slice his throat. I love that. Blood will always tell you'll hang for this bastard. Oh, damn. I told you not to do anything stupid. Well, that's out the window. You can find a quote.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Waters, go. You can tell he really cares for John. Do you have red eyes? It does. That is awesome. There's someone out there. Oh. Nothing better happen to ghost.

Starting point is 00:36:39 Jesus. Oh, look, I like. Jason. his presence and his intensity but yeah, his character's a little off the rockers. Gold to hire ships Princess. Oh. Ships to sail to West Ros.

The great shepherd sent me to earth to heal his... Oh, my God! His wound must be washed and sewn, or it will feel. Fester.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Asafman, I have a facade to check me to Rakhryan. Is he the animal a cute? Listen to your wife. You know what they say? Happy wife, happy life. I'm the man. You want leading the vanguard. Galbert Glover will lead the van.

Starting point is 00:39:58 I must always be a stark and winterville Until I return, that will be you Yeah But if you don't hear from me, don't be scared Hmm How long have you been hiding out there? Rob will be looking for you Say goodbye, they've all gone away
Starting point is 00:40:10 Aw So I'll be back soon. Rob will free father and I'll come back with mother. No, they won't. The old gods are answering you. What are you doing here? Yeah, it is, sir. They're my gods too. Beyond the wall, they're the only gods.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Even slaves are allowed to pray. You're not a slave. Hmm. When your friend did put a knife to my throat. True. It's got a pint. It's only the wind. Who do you think sends the wind if not the gods?
Starting point is 00:40:36 They see you, boy. Hmm. They hear you. All right, that's just like at that tree with the blood in the eyes when they were praying to the old gods The old gods have no power in the south the wayward's there were all cut down a long time ago How can they watch when they have no eyes? Hmm Are they really giants beyond the rock?
Starting point is 00:40:53 Giants Yellow as his skin was I almost would have mistaken him for a white walker Yeah I tried telling your brother he's marching the wrong way All these swords they should be going north boy To the white walkers No not south You don't even know the true threat that's out there
Starting point is 00:41:08 cold winds of glassing. They were touched by white walkers. That's why they came back. That's why their eyes turned blue. Only fire will stop them. How'd you know that? I read about it in a book. A very old book in Master Amers' library.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Tara, I say they build flamethrowers. The white walkers sleep beneath the ice for thousands of years. Wow. And when they wake up... And when they wake up. Oh, God, it's bad. Yeah, it's pretty high up, but... The river lords are falling back with Jamie Lannister at their heels.
Starting point is 00:41:45 And Lord Tywin is bringing around a second Lannister army from the south. Hmm. Lady Catlin, you're a welcome sight in these troubled times. We had thought not to meet you, Amy, Lady. She should be like, Tim. Give me a high-five. I would speak with my son alone. I know you will forgive me, my lords. Uh.
Starting point is 00:42:02 You heard her. Move your asses! Come on, out. Nothing like losing a couple fingers to humble a man. I remember the day you came into this world Red-faced and scorn And now I find you leading a host to war I taught you well son If you think you can send me back to Winterfeld
Starting point is 00:42:24 Would but I could There was a letter from Sansa From the Queen you mean Yeah Sansa's writing the Queen's words There's no mention of Arya No She's in hiding.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Yeah, but they don't know that. How many men do you have? 18,000. Jesus. How many they have at the Capitol. Our best hope, our only hope, is that you can defeat them in the field. And if I lose. And all hope is lost.
Starting point is 00:42:54 What happened to the Tigarian children when the Mad King fell? They were butchered in the sleep. Yikes. On the orders of Tywin Lannister. Oh, God. And the years have not made him kinder. Right, only made him worse. If you lose, your father.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Hmm. Your sisters die. We die. Well, I guess we can't lose. Well, that makes it simple then. I suppose it does. Win at all costs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:19 All right, I assume they're going to where the Lannister camp is. That makes more sense. Okay. It's just a little off on my camps. From here, it might be best if Ron and I continue alone. Best for Tyrion's son of Tywin. Not best. for me.
Starting point is 00:43:39 If the half man betrays us, Shaga, son of Dolph, will cut off his manhood. And feed it to the goats, yes. Said it many times. Time to meet my father. Here we go. That's going to say,
Starting point is 00:43:54 even if he decides to betray you, you're outnumbered by thousands. I think and Tyrion's going to want his ring back, though. It's a very nice ring. The rumors of your demise were unfounded.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Sorry to disappoint you. And who were these companions? This is Shaga, son of Dolph, chieftain of the stone crows. Timit, son of timet. You could just tell he just looks completely down on them. And here we have bronze, son of... You wouldn't know it. May I present my lord father.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Tywin. Tywin, son of Taitos of House Lannister, Lord of Castile Rock, warden of the West. Hmm. Kind of you to go to war for me. Oh, it's just for you. Your brother would never have submitted to capture so meekly.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Diffranes, Jamie and I. He's braver. I'm better looking. Jamie smashed the river lords of the golden tooth, and now lay siege to Riveron. Catalin Stark's homeland And Stark's Lord Eddard Is our hostage He will lead no armies
Starting point is 00:45:11 From his dungeon cell Did my sweet sister persuade the king to imprison His dear friend Ned Robert Barathean is dead Geoffrey rules in Kings Landing Ooh look at the horror To realizing that
Starting point is 00:45:25 My sister rules you mean Yeah Stark's son has called his banners He moves south with a strong host Green boy One taste to battle And he'll run back to winter with his tail between his legs.
Starting point is 00:45:38 I made promises to my friends here. The Lancaster always pays his debts. That's right. Sir Adam Bidsmey report that the Northmen have crossed the neck. The wolf rushes into the lion's jaws, so be it. Command, the driver's beat assembly. Send word to Jamie that I'm moving against Robstock. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:45:56 A mountain clans are great warriors. Ride with me against my enemies, and you'll have all my son promised you and more. Only if the half man fights with us.

Starting point is 00:46:29 I just want to drink wine And sleep with the women Broken ground put his knights at a disadvantage. No, we need to get around him and break Jamie Lannister's siege of River Run. Mm-hmm. And the River Lords will join us. To do we, though, we need to cross the river. The only crossing is at the Twins.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Hmm. The late Lord Frey, my father calls him. At the Trident, he didn't appear until the battle was done. Some men take their oaths more seriously than others. Hmm. We need that bridge. So what's it going to be? Do we move against Jamie or Lord Tywin?
Starting point is 00:47:05 Hmm. We've captured a Lannister scout. Ah. Where did you find him? In the brush above the encampment. He looked to be counting. Uh. Wanted to see how many people, how many soldiers there were.
Starting point is 00:47:17 That's a lot. 18,000 to count. Would have lost count after about 200. My assumption he was estimating, but I agree with you. Yeah. How high did you get 20,000, maybe more? You don't have to do this yourself. Your father would understand if I...
Starting point is 00:47:30 My father understands mercy when there is room for it. Hmm. Let him go. Go. Tell Lord Tywin, winter is coming for him. 20,000 northern is marching south to find out if he really does shit go. Yes, my lord. Thank you, my lord.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Winter is coming. Usually in movies and shows, the person kills the messenger, so I wonder if Tywin's going to kill that guy when he delivers that message. Touched boy, letting him go. You call me, boy again. He's still got other fingers. Go on. Oh, I like my other fingers. You're good.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Where's the wolf? I understand, though, the element of surprise is a very formidable attack, so I get why they would be frustrated over that. It is the view of counsel that the life and safety of King Geoffrey be of paramount importance. Okay. Sir Barristan Selmy. You may remove your helm. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:37 You have served the realm long and faithfully. Every man and woman in the seven kingdoms owes you thanks. But it is time to put aside your armor and your sword. It is time to rest and look back with pride on your many years of service. What? Your grace, the king's guard, is a sworn brotherhood. Only death relieves us of our secretary trust. Are they about to kill him?
Starting point is 00:48:57 Whose death, Sir Barristan, yours or are your kings? You let my father die. You're too old to protect anyone. Oh The council has determined That Sir Jamie Lannister Would take your place Ah
Starting point is 00:49:10 Wow We have nothing but gratitude For your long service Good sir You shall be given A stout keep Beside the Sea With servants to look after

Do you have some business for the? the king and the council's answer i do ask for mercy for your father as it please your grace i ask mercy for my father lord edard stark who is hand of the king hmm treason is a noxious we oh god this is not going to go over well to you deny your father's crime no my lords i know he must be punished all i ask is mercy i know my lord father must regret what he did he was king robert's friend and he loved him you all know he loved him you all know he loved him. They must have lied to him, Lord Renley or Lord Stanis or somebody. They must have lied.
Starting point is 00:50:41 He said I wasn't the king. Why did he say that? He was badly hurt. Mr. Paisel was giving him milk of the poppy. He wasn't himself. Otherwise, he never would have said it. Treason is treason. Anything else? Uh, if you still have any affection in your heart for me, please do me this kindness your grace your sweet words have moved me but your father has to confess he has to confess and say that I'm the king wow nice panning or there'll be no mercy for him oh god he's not gonna want to do that he will
Starting point is 00:51:22 not the truth oh boy I don't think he will all right guys if you're listening to us on app or Spotify please give is a five-star rating um if you're on youtube like comment subscribe when you do ring the bell ring the bell so you're notified of the videos it'll be dropping also if you haven't followed the rage pod go follow it i don't know doing you have to do it i'm following it exactly um now i want to pot on the rage also thank you to prepper for helping edit down these highlights be here without the old prepper i can imagine these ones are very easy to edit game of thrones oh yeah especially all the prop uh uh blood and no i was going to say the prop below
Starting point is 00:52:15 the waist things but we see from the gentlemen's so i'm sure those are really the ding don't yeah those things i was going to say the twinkies but ding dong's works too i think it does yeah all right guys i'm just um making sure all right Let's start off with questions here from jay rushed in like who is your favorite new character introduced so far so favorite new character in the last two episodes or we just favorite new character in the last couple episodes if we're going in the last two yeah i don't know if there was any super new characters yeah because if we're just going new characters in the last like three four five episodes or whatnot i would say sam i just like yeah i think that's probably good yeah i think because he's a character who has literally been thrusted into a situation that he had no control over he's a character that is looked down upon I love an underdog story so much yeah I feel like my whole life is an underdog story as well so it's something I can resonate with and I think there's something inspiring and motivational about seeing someone who you would never expect to come out on top and I'm hoping that for Sam because he's so endearing he's so compassionate he's such a wonderful human being yeah and to see him being picked on which also I can resonate because I was physically and mentally abused and bullied when I was in middle school. So also seeing that, and like, I really want him to do well. And so, like, I would say favorite new character is Sam.
Starting point is 00:53:42 He's definitely one of my favorites. But my favorite character is still by far, Tyrion. Yeah, yeah. Tyrion is a good one, a good one. I would say, I guess if you're just saying for now, like he was, we at least just get to meet him, Tywin, which was a great scene of him like, carving the moose or whatever during that whole scene.
Starting point is 00:54:02 i thought that that was great direction um it was it was definitely gross but um it was awesome because i always think any scene you need there's something has to be happening not just two people standing there talking right um and tai when he's a great actor so i really liked seeing him meeting him even though i don't like the lannisters at all yeah but i do like seeing tyrian with his dad and giving him like witty banter back and forth because he knows that his dad thinks he's the lowest of the lowest of the lannisters um except tyrian really has more of the brain cells right i think too yeah sorry sorry go ahead continue i'm good go ahead i was just going to say i think you just from the little bits we've seen already from tywin which
Starting point is 00:54:53 of so far masterful performance i love that actor i forgot his last name Charles something I think but anyways point being I think from the little bits of interaction we've seen from him in the little perspective we've gotten into his brain yeah we can see why the Lannisters are the way they are and why they're so up you know what I mean because they get a lot of that it comes from the environment that they grew up in and seeing this man who is so ambitious and wants to like have so much in power in the Lannister name I'm like okay I see why the children or now adults are the way they are but you know it it definitely some of it rubbed off on tyrian but again he is
Starting point is 00:55:33 a lot more of a soft-hearted individual than jamie and circe and joffrey and all that so but i think also too because he gained this sort of resentment that his dad looked down upon him so much and didn't uh view him in such high esteem per se as as jamie or sir and surcy rather you know what i mean so that's why all that uh lannister juice of ambition and greed and being a piece of shit didn't fully rub all the way off on tyrian yeah we'll have to see if um if he does have to go fight i i am going to fully assume that his dad does not care and will make tyrian ride into war not caring whether he lives or dies we'll have to see i'm agreed it's just it's not it's spooky stuff over there i could do all right
Starting point is 00:56:27 The next one is from Tara. Great name. This is the same name. What a great name. All right. From Tara. Hi, Tara and Andrew. Hello, Tara.
Starting point is 00:56:36 In order to survive the political landscape of King's landing, people need to be strategic, deceitful, willing to lie and betray. Ned Stark is an honorable man. If you were his advisor, what would you have advised him to do once he learned about Circe, Jamie, and that Jamie was the father of her children? Do you think he was naive to confront Circe with the truth? By the way, you both have questioned in previous Q&As, how I pronounce my name. It's pronounced Tara, after the East Indian goddess.
Starting point is 00:57:09 But people always pronounce it like yours. Terra. I don't mind at all because I'm in great company. You are, this is the best company everywhere. Hello, Tara. You have posed some great things here. And also, like, what would we have advised to Ned Stark, when he found out this crazy-ass bit of news.
Starting point is 00:57:31 I would have posted it on social media because then they would have no plausible deniability. I think that would have been the smart choice, but since we are in medieval times here and we don't have social media, I don't know. This is so hard because, again, the problem is, as you mentioned here,
Starting point is 00:57:46 everyone has to be strategic, deceitful, willing to lie and betray. And it's like a chess piece game. Got to be 20 moves ahead of everyone else. And it seems like Ned is one of the very few honorable people, people who does not crave power and wish like he actually cares about the people doesn't crave his own intentions to rule and that sort of thing so and he also cares about his friend Robert Barathean very much so as well as the people so I don't know what I would have advised
Starting point is 00:58:13 because I would have first said this we have to be very careful with our move here because whatever we say or do next could cost us our lives so let's think of a plan that puts us in a place where we figure out who we know to trust so it does not cost us their lives i still don't know what that move is because we can't trust anyone really other than ourselves so i don't know what to do yeah um i think that even though joffrey is just we can't stand him what i think i might have done is said to keep the book invite joffrey over see if you can like break up the lannister family by showing Joffrey that his mom and who he thinks is his uncle is actually his dad. Maybe that would piss him off enough to be like, mom, you lied to me and cause this big rift
Starting point is 00:59:13 inside the Lannisters. I guess we would see. It would definitely get also Jamie Lannister possibly back home and off of the battlefield. send word to him that the word is out that he's been juicing his sister which i guess once it's out it's out but um i think that's my one that's my one little plan because i feel like he'd go he might go running back to be like this is a lie i don't know we'll see i mean i don't think that's going to happen at all but that's my that is what i would do that's the only thing i could think of to be like how do you break up the lannisters show joffrey and maybe he'll get mad at mom and everything will blow up i mean yeah it's not a bad plan it's a risky one but it's not a
Starting point is 01:00:04 bad one all right jaden roads the writing is amazing on the show the line when you play the game of thrones you win or you die always stuck with me since i heard it i'm curious if there's a line that you all have heard yet that's stuck um with us so far if there's a debt to lannister always pays it back lannister always pays his debts that one definitely there was a line here i i just um i just reiterated and i'm already forgetting i'm pulling a terror i'm just i'm just kidding um god what was the line i just reiterated it too like about 10 15 20 minutes it was such a great line that tierian it just said in the woods and i loved it i can't remember that he just said in the woods just said it in the woods i loved it so much too oh i'm gonna have to
Starting point is 01:00:49 oh he said if someone else takes me captive don't worry i'll pay more i like living that's the one i love that line that's one of my favorite lines in the show yeah that was great it was good um it was it was great like tyrian has really all of the best lines he does he really does yeah he has all the best ones because really like all of all of the main quotes besides that one like in the game of thrones you win or you or you die which is great but that's that's seriously so nobody else really has any lines that i think really stick with you at least not in these last two episodes that i can think of besides like he's saying which i like that where he's like well if you're thinking about betraying me and they want money he's like don't worry i'll
Starting point is 01:01:39 beat it because i like living you're like yeah i get it i get that's the great one i like you know who's again i can't think of any lines like off the top of my head i really like serio the the dance teacher you know oh yes he's great yeah he's very noble he's honorable yeah he's awesome and the fact that he was fighting him with a wooden sword and kicking ass that was freaking awesome yeah and he had no fear with a wooden freaking sword that was cool i mean that's another cool quote of like what do we say to the death lord and it's like not today not today right right um was a good one which was a nice thing that you know aria she's running away saying not today not today and we still don't know our assumption is he's dead i you know like he's no more he had
Starting point is 01:02:27 yeah a little piece of wood but who knows man he's a good fighter i'm hoping he survived it's yeah they've left it definitely ambiguous the last episode and a half since what it when that happened so one can be so hopeful but uh i did not look good for sure and then we still got to catch up with with aria at some point but yeah no this is definitely again what this show does such and i'm just going to continue to keep mentioning it until the show gives me a reason not to it's truly an ensemble piece obviously you got your main plot you got your all these subplots characters you know finding ways to you know level up and get up on the chest piece or whatnot but or just build up a character growth wise whatever this show just does such a good job of
Starting point is 01:03:12 giving every character, you know, their time to shine in the light and, you know, to really build them up as well, to get to know them, you know, and also explore that character. And at the same point, not lose a narrative focus and still, like, keep you invested in these characters and invested in the storyline while also getting frustrated because you are so invested. So I think what I'm basically trying to articulate is I so far at least through are we 10 episodes or how many are you in right 10 this is eight oh eight sorry I'm so I was like because I'm so invited I didn't even know what number we were on but the point being is the show just does such a good job of at least for me so far through eight episodes I am personally for the most part I'm not lost
Starting point is 01:04:01 I'm so like it's so easy to follow with all the characters the storylines and I just think they do such a great job because again with a show of this many characters this many subplots going on simultaneously for them to be able to circumvent and have everything you know meet in the middle it's really tough to do and it's impressive that they're able to do it so seamlessly so beautifully so organically and the dialogue is so damn smooth and sharp the acting is so amazing the direction the sets everything is so good and also you the best part about this even with characters you hate and don't agree with the main thing is you understand perspective
Starting point is 01:04:43 you don't have to agree with everything but you need to understand perspective that is my main thing with characters I don't like or don't agree with if I can understand perspective it's like okay I get why this character is doing what they're doing even if I'm not on board with it I think that's great writing to me
Starting point is 01:05:00 and yeah I'm just so impressed like even for instance when it comes to I'm so about obsessed right now with the storyline too. I'm obsessed with all the storylines, to be honest, but like even with DeNaris and Drogo, like that is really fascinating. Like just to see like how their relationship has really evolved
Starting point is 01:05:22 and also how she's like seeing the side of him. Like even though she's really grown a fondness for him and but she's also seeing a different side to him. Like yeah, she wants to rule the kingdom and all, especially after they tried to take her out. But even before that she wanted to rule the kingdom, but also too, seeing win he is doing now to children and to women like she's definitely seeing a darker side to him and i know
Starting point is 01:05:44 he was already doing this in the past but now that she is more evolved herself you know she i'm i'm sure she has a more of a sinister take possibly on what this means for their relationship in the future so we'll see what happens but i i'm just digging this show on so there's so many things about this show that i'm obsessed with i love jor just so many different things about this show i'm so obsessed with yeah i was going to say thank god she's pregnant because um for a calisi she's obviously going to be a fiery queen i i i think now that she stepped into yes i am a calisi we've seen her grow and grow and grow but um you know it's funny to hear him go yeah that's my son growing inside of her giving her that fire and you're like well she was always that fiery you have no
Starting point is 01:06:35 idea how she grew up with faceres um and she's looking at these women being basically tortured as she was even from her freaking brother yeah and i'm glad she she saves them um i can see her getting like fiercer and fiercer day by day which is exciting to see especially because she does have called drogo like he he's got her back but he's also very powerful and thankfully we're really learning now that because she's pregnant along with her standing up to him he's gonna go with kind of what she wants which is a plus so um we'll kind of see how much she's able to sway the story or sway him into what they want i mean he's already very much on her side about wanting to get the throne now after hearing you know how she was almost murdered um so he's all
Starting point is 01:07:33 fired up but um also so is she so we'll see i think that's an interesting storyline i'm also i really want to see where it goes with tyrian if he does send him into battle or if he's like no um and i also i i know that at the end there um it wasn't sir alister it's the other guy who i'm forgetting his name um at the at the wall tells him he's like i'm sure there'll be treated gently to john snow in regards to his sisters um and we just end on that like look with that scene and it's like i don't know if that's going to be enough to keep john snow here at the wall but i also know that he's so honorable that he wouldn't break his word he already has sworn his oath to the wall so at this point i i don't know because he's lost his uncle and now he's like well my
Starting point is 01:08:32 family's there they might all be dying like we have no idea we don't know um and now that like catlin has shown up with rob it's just there's gonna be there's a lot that's going on especially with santa asking for mercy about her dad and i don't trust joffrey or surce to actually give him mercy and or will they be angry at her request right right and is it beneficial that benjjj i mean i know he's missing right but they haven't found a body yet which i don't know we'll see what happens i hope he's okay but i doubt he is but yeah i don't know we we shall see what happens with that but yeah i mean we know what the penalty is for desertion when it comes to john snow and i get it it's probably very hard but you know right now he did make an oath and this is his current family uh you know inside
Starting point is 01:09:21 of this wall and what he has to protect and stick to the oath so i get it's got to be extremely difficult knowing that he knows this is not true when it comes to his father being a traitor and also that his sisters are at risk right now being at the capital and also too that the rest of his family is in peril as well so i can only imagine the anxiety he is feeling by just staying put but he again made a note so but i'm just so fascinated too just to see as i mentioned one time i think during the reaction what everyone is going to do when they realize all these white walkers are out there at some point so that's going to be an interesting thing that unfolds whenever it does unfold yeah because like we're all battling within each other like to get a certain place you know uh you know
Starting point is 01:10:08 in terms of the game of thrones in terms of getting power but it's like there's something that could just take wipe you out entirely so we got to put her differences aside once we figure that out and beat the truth right here yeah once once we do because as of now it's the wall that's they're the only ones that actually know because they've had evidence of it showing up. I'm glad that the main guy was there with John Snow so that he could see what the F was happening and that John Snow saved the day.
Starting point is 01:10:38 So hopefully he won't be hung like Sir Alistair wants him to be. Hopefully he'll be saved, we'll see. Credible episodes though. I'm obsessed with the show like so much. I know I was like so sad when we finished strange things but like this was a nice thing to just jump right into like and get me obsessed with something different and it's totally different of course than stranger things but i've just i'm loving every second of this and i know it's only going to get crazier and more whack ado and i'm here for
Starting point is 01:11:11 it i'm so happy to be watching this finally yeah it's good stuff i'm i'm excited too i'm just still glad that i don't remember anything so it's like a fresh brand new watch for me so make sure guys that you're leaving a like comment obviously subscribe do all the right things tell us how cool we are no spoils in the comment section we love you a bunches see on the next one
