Game of Thrones

I'll find you later.

It's not safe.

Let me send some men with you.

I'm going alone.

In the name of the one true queen, Daenerys Targaryen,

I sentence you to die.

Grey Worm!

It's over.

These men are prisoners.

It is not over until the queen's enemies are defeated.

How much more defeated do you want them to be?

- They're on their knees. - They are breathing.

Look around you, friend. We won.

I obey my queen's commands, not yours.

And what are the queen's commands?

"Kill all who follow Cersei Lannister."

These are free men.

They chose to fight for her.

Easy, men. Easy! Easy.

Jon.

We should speak with the queen.

Blood of my blood.

You kept all your promises to me.

You killed my enemies in their iron suits.

You tore down their stone houses.

You gave me the Seven Kingdoms!

Torgo Nudho.

You have walked beside me since the Plaza of Pride.

You are the bravest of men, the most loyal of soldiers.

I name you commander of all my forces,

the Queen's Master of War.

Unsullied.

All of you were torn from your mothers' arms and raised as slaves.

Now...

you are liberators!

You have freed the people of King's Landing from the grip of a tyrant!

But the war is not over.

We will not lay down our spears until we have liberated

all the people of the world!

From Winterfell to Dorne,

from Lannisport to Qarth,

from the Summer Isles to the Jade Sea!

Women, men and children

have suffered too long beneath the wheel.

Will you break the wheel with me?

You freed your brother.

You committed treason.

I freed my brother.

And you slaughtered a city.

Take him.

What are you doing here?

Hey, what happened?

I came to kill Cersei.

Your queen got there first.

She's everyone's queen now.

Try telling Sansa.

Wait for me outside the city gates. I'll come find you.

Jon.

She knows who you are.

Who you really are.

You'll always be a threat to her.

And I know a killer when I see one.

Did you bring any wine?

No.

Ah...

Well...

thank you for coming to see me.

Our queen doesn't keep prisoners for long.

I suppose there's a crude kind of justice.

I betrayed my closest friend and watched him burn.

Now Varys's ashes can tell my ashes:

"See, I told you."

It just occurred to me.

I'm talking to the only man alive who knows where I'm going.

So is there life after death?

Not that I've seen.

I should be thankful.

Oblivion is the best I could hope for.

I strangled my lover.

I shot my own father with a crossbow. I betrayed my queen.

- You didn't. - I did.

And I'd do it again, now that I've seen what I've seen.

I chose my fate.

The people of King's Landing did not.

I can't justify what happened.

I won't try.

- But the war is over now. - Is it?

When you heard her talking to her soldiers,

did she sound like someone who's done fighting?

She liberated the people of Slaver's Bay.

She liberated the people of King's Landing.

And she'll go on liberating

until the people of the world are free...

and she rules them all.

And you've been by her side, counseling her.

Until today.

Until today.

Varys was right.

I was wrong.

It was vanity to think I could guide her.

Our queen's nature is fire and blood.

You think our house words are stamped on our bodies

when we're born and that's who we are?

Ah, then I'd be fire and blood too.

She's not her father, no more than you're Tywin Lannister.

My father was an evil man. My sister was an evil woman.

Pile up all the bodies of all the people they ever killed,

there still won't be half as many as our beautiful queen slaughtered

in a single day.

Cersei left her no choice.

The moment the gates fell, the battle was over.

She saw her friend beheaded.

She saw her dragon shot out of the sky.

And she burned down a city for it.

Ah, it's easy to judge when you're standing far from the battlefield.

Would you have done it?

What?

You've been up there, on a dragon's back.

You've had that power. Would you have burned the city down?

I don't know.

Yes, you do.

You won't say because you don't want to betray her...

but you know.

What's it matter what I'd do?

It matters more than anything.

When she murdered the slavers of Astapor,

I'm sure no one but the slavers complained.

After all, they were evil men.

When she crucified hundreds of Meereenese nobles, who could argue?

They were evil men.

The Dothraki khals she burned alive?

They would have done worse to her.

Everywhere she goes, evil men die

and we cheer her for it.

And she grows more powerful

and more sure that she is good and right.

She believes her destiny is to build a better world for everyone.

If you believed that...

if you truly believed it,

wouldn't you kill whoever stood between you and paradise?

I know you love her.

I love her too.

Not as successfully as you.

But I believed in her with all my heart.

Love is more powerful than reason.

We all know that.

Look at my brother.

"Love is the death of duty."

You just came up with that?

Maester Aemon said it a long time ago.

Sometimes duty is the death of love.

You are the shield that guards the realms of men.

You've always tried to do the right thing.

No matter the cost,

you've tried to protect people.

Who is the greatest threat to the people now?

It's a terrible thing I'm asking.

It's also the right thing.

Do you think I'm the last man she'll execute?

Who is more dangerous than the rightful heir to the Iron Throne?

That's her decision. She is the queen.

I'm sorry it came to this.

And your sisters?

Do you see them bending the knee?

My sisters will be loyal to the throne.

Why do you think Sansa told me the truth about you?

Because she doesn't want Dany to be queen.

- She doesn't get to choose. - No.

But you do.

And you have to choose now.

When I was a girl, my brother told me it was made

with 1,000 swords from Aegon's fallen enemies.

What do 1,000 swords look like

in the mind of a little girl who can't count to 20?

I imagined a mountain of swords too high to climb.

So many fallen enemies,

you could only see the soles of Aegon's feet.

I saw them executing Lannister prisoners in the street.

They said they were acting on your orders.

- It was necessary. - Necessary?

Have you been down there?

Have you seen?

Children, little children, burned!

I tried to make peace with Cersei.

She used their innocence as a weapon against me.

- She thought it would cripple me. - And Tyrion?

He conspired behind my back with my enemies.

How have you treated people who've done the same to you,

even when it broke your heart?

Forgive him.

- I can't. - You can.

You can forgive all of them, make them see they made a mistake.

Make them understand.

Please, Dany.

We can't hide behind small mercies.

The world we need

won't be built by men loyal to the world we have.

The world we need is a world of mercy. It has to be.

And it will be.

It's not easy to see something that's never been before.
