he knows the north is watching if the other houses sends weakness on his part they'll stop fearing him he can't have that fear it says power it's his weakness too these men don't want to fight for him they're forced to fight for him if they feel the tide turning it's crucial that we let them charge at us they've got the numbers we need the patience i want him coming as full tilt we should all get some sleep so you've met the enemy drawn up your battle plans i for what there was you've known him for the space of a single conversation you and your trusted advisors and you sit around making your plans on how to defeat a man you don't know i lived with him i know the way his mind works i know how he likes to hurt people one day i'll be lord of winterfell and warden of the north you will be my lady who order ness but isn't your stepmother pregnant what of it what happens if she has a boy then i'll have a baby brother but he'll be the heir i'm lord bolton's eldest son but you're a bastard the true born will always have the stronger claim i've been naturalized by a royal decree from tommen baratheon another bastard bastards can rise high in the world like your half brother jon snow born the bastard of winterfell now the lord commander of the night's watch did it ever once occur to you that i might have some insight you're right you think he's going to fall into your trap he won't he's the one who lays traps he's overconfident he plays with people he's far better at it than you he's been doing it all his life what have i been doing all my life playing with broomsticks i've fought beyond the wall against worse than ramsey bolton i've defended the wall from worse than ramsey bull you don't know him all right tell me what should we do how do we get rickon back a monster has taken our home and our brother we have to go back to winterfell and save them both we'll never get him back rickon is ned stark's true-born son which makes him a greater threat to ramsay than you a bastard or me a girl as long as he lives ramsay's claim to winterfell will be contested which means he won't live long we can't give up on our brother listen to me please he wants you to make a mistake of course he does what should i do differently i don't know i don't know anything about battles just john is john he's my brother he'll keep me safe i trust him then why did you lie to him when he asked you how you learned about river run just don't do what he wants you to do that's good advice you think that's obvious well it is a bit obvious you had asked for my advice earlier i would have told you not to attack winterfell until we had a larger force or is that obvious when will we have a larger force the time may come when you need an army loyal to you i have an army your brother's army half brother we've pleaded with every house that'll have us the blackfish can't help us we're lucky to have this many men it's not enough no it's not enough it's what we have battles have been won against greater odds let stannis and ruse battle let the enemies of the throne slaughter each other and when they're done seize winterfell from whichever thief survives if ramsay wins i'm not going back there alive do you understand me as it happens i am a betting man and if you're right stannis takes winterfell he rescues you from the most despised family in the north grateful for your late father's courageous support of his claim he names you wardness of the north but i'd i wouldn't ordiness of the north you are the last surviving stark he needs you and what if you're wrong i won't ever let him touch you again i'll protect you i promise no one can protect me no one can protect anyone [Music] don't trust anybody life is safer that way it's not enough we need more men there's no time if we went down to castle kerwin i know that lord we fight with the army we have [Music] [Music] so perhaps i can help the knights of the vale are some of the best fighters in westeros trained to battle in the ice and the snow forgive me no baelish your reputation as a money lender and a profit keeper not a millionaire you wouldn't risk a single lannister soldier or a single coin from the royal treasury but you have to lose a brothel keeper and if you succeed name me warden of the north i'm having the lord's chamber prepared for you mother and father's room you should take it these are mother and father's chambers and you always liked nice things made you feel better than everyone i'm not a stark you are to me you're the lady of winterfell you deserve it we're standing here because of you news of this battle will spread quickly through the seven kingdoms i've declared for house stark for all to hear you've declared for other houses before lord baelish it's never stopped you from serving yourself the past has gone for good you can sit here mourning its departure or you'll prepare for the future you my love are the future of house dark who should the north rally behind true born daughter of ned and catelyn stark born here at winterfell or a motherless bastard born in the south the north remembers we know no king but the king in the north whose name is stark [Music] i don't care if he's a bastard ned stark's blood runs through his veins he's my king from this day until his last day the battle was lost until the nights of the vale rolled in they came because of you [Music] you told me lord bailey sold you to the boltons he did and you trust him only a fool would trust littlefinger i should have told you about him about the knights of the vale i'm sorry [Music] we need to trust each other we can't fight war amongst ourselves we have so many enemies now you are my sister but i am king now can you start wearing a crown when you question my decisions in front of the other lords and ladies you undermine me so we can't question your decisions though of course you can but george never let anyone question his authority you think he was a good king do you think i'm joffrey you're here to answer for your brother's latest treasons your grace whatever my traitor brother has done i had no part you know that i beg you you're as far from joffrey as anyone i've ever met thank you you're good at this you know but what a ruling no you are you are they respect you they really do but you have to why are you laughing viewers first ranger you know my brother once told me that nothing someone says before the word but really counts but what did father used to say everything before the word bought this horseshit never said that to me no no he never cursed in front of his girls because he was trying to protect us we could sheepshift lord desmond's bed you cut a little hole in his mattress and you stuff she'd done inside then you sew up the hole and make his bed again his room will stink but he won't know where it's coming from lady sansa my sister used to do that when she was angry with me and she was always angry with me why sheep shift that's the vault word for dumb my lady well you asked me you never wanted to see how dirty the world really is but father couldn't protect me neither can you stop trying all right i'll stop trying to protect you when you stop trying to undermine i'm not trying to undermine you you have to be smarter than father you need to be smarter than rob i loved them i missed them but they made stupid mistakes and they both lost their heads for it and how should i be smarter by listening to you would that be so terrible did it ever once occur to you that i might have some insight the umbers and the karstarks have fought beside the starks for centuries they've kept faith for generation after generation and then they broke faith i'm not going to strip these families of their ancestral homes because of the crimes of a few reckless sons so there's no punishment for treason and no reward for loyalty you want to be handed the king you want to rule this is what ruling is lying on a bed of weeds ripping them out by the root one by one before they strangle you in your sleep i'm no king but i think there's more to ruling than that i don't care what you think you've never taken it seriously you haven't jamie hasn't the punishment for treason is death small john umber died on the field of battle harold karstark died on the field of battle they died fighting for ramsay give the castles to the families of the men who died fighting for you [Music] when i was lord commander of the night's watch i executed men who betrayed me i executed men who refused to follow orders my father always said the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword and i have tried to live by those words but have you ever considered learning how to lie every now and then just a bit i'm not going to swear enough i can't uphold talk about my father if you want tell me that's the attitude that got him killed but when enough people make false promises words stop meaning anything then there are no more answers only better and better lies and lies won't help us in this fight that is indeed a problem but i will not punish a son for his father's sins and i will not take a family home away from a family it has belonged to for centuries that is my decision and my decision is fine it could be someone trying to lure you into a trap read the last bit all dwarves are bastards in their father's eyes what does that mean it's something he said to me the first night we met let me give you some advice bastard never forget what you are the rest of the world will not wear it like armor and it can never be used to hurt you what the hell do you know about being a bastard all dwarves are bastards in their father's eyes you know him better than any of us what do you think tyrion's not like the other lannisters who's always kind to me but i promise you one thing my lady i won't ever hurt you [Music] i apologize for my nephew's behavior tell me the truth do you want an end to this engagement i am loyal to king joffrey my one true love lady stark you may survive us yet but it's too great to risk i know it's a risk but i have to take it then send an emissary don't go yourself daenerys is a queen only a king can convince her to help us it has to be me you're abandoning your people you're abandoning your home i'm leaving both in good hands who's yours you are my sister you're the only stark in winterfell until i return the north is yours [Music] cersei of house lannister first of her name queen of the andals and the first men protector of the seven kingdoms what does she want come to king's landing bend the knee or suffer the fate of all traitors winter is here the lannisters are a southern army they've never ranged this far north you're the military man but i know her people you love if you're her enemy she'll never stop until she's destroyed you everyone who's ever crossed her she's found a way to murder you almost sounds if you admire i learned a great deal from her the princess just spoke to you pardon your grace i'm sure your dress will be beautiful masala i'm counting the days until the fighting's done and i can pledge my love to the king in sight of the gods [Music] you'll be queen for a time and comes another younger more beautiful to cast you down and take all you old dear i haven't had the opportunity to tell you how sorry i was to hear about your brother war is war but killing a man at a wedding horrid what sort of monster would do such a thing my father always told the truth yes he had that reputation and they named him traitor and took his head joffrey joffrey did that he promised he would be merciful and he cut my father's head off and he said that was mercy and he took me up on the walls and made me look at it go on i i can't i never meant my father was a traitor my brother as well i have traitor's blood please don't make me say anymore she's terrified grandmother just look at her speak freely child we would never betray your confidence i swear it he's a monster cold there shrouds [Music] we have to go sassy permit me to share some womanly wisdom with you on this very special day the more people you love the weaker you are you'll do things for them that you know you shouldn't do you'll act the fool to make them happy to keep them safe love no one but your children on that front a mother has no choice but shouldn't i love joffrey of grace you can try little dove my father was a traitor my mother and brother are traitors too i am loyal to my beloved joffrey [Music] of course you are [Music] [Applause] [Music] the only way to keep the small folk loyal is to make certain they fear you more than they do the enemy remember that if you ever hope to become a queen so [Music] [Music] so [Music] this is good soup we never should have left winterville don't you wish we could go back to the day we left not to scream at myself don't go you idiot how could we know i spent a lot of time thinking about what an ass i was to you i wish i could change everything we were children i was awful just admit it you were occasionally awful i'm sure i can't have been grateful and always sulking in the corner while the rest of you played can you forgive me there's nothing to forgive forgive me right all right i forgive you you think after thousands of years the night's watch we've learned how to make a good ale where will you go where will we go if i don't watch over your father's ghost will come back and murder me [Music] where will we go can't stay here not after what happened there's only one place we can go home [Music] you all ground me your king i never wanted it i never asked for it but i accepted it because the north is my hope you'd have to leave home you'd have to leave me [Music] and so would you you left your home to come here and i'd be queen someday it's the only thing i ever wanted [Music] you
