MAESTER AEMON: A Targaryen alone in the world.
It's a terrible thing.
CERSEI LANNISTER: Half the Targaryens went mad, didn't they?
What's the saying?
"Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods flip a coin."
TYWIN LANNISTER: The skulls of all the Targaryen dragons
were kept in this room.
The skull of the last of them was right here.
RENLY BARATHEON: The Mad King slaughtered women and babies
because the voices in his head told him they deserved it.
Or way before that,
when dragons burned whole cities to the ground.
TYRION LANNISTER: House Targaryen is gone.
ROBERT BARATHEON: Not all of them.
May I present my honored guests.
Viserys of House Targaryen,
and his sister, Daenerys.
VARYS: The Seven Kingdoms needs a monarch
who can intimidate the high lords
and inspire the people.
I'm the last hope of a dynasty.
The greatest dynasty this world has ever seen
on my shoulders since I was five years old.
VARYS: A ruler loved by millions
with the right family name.
VISERYS TARGARYEN: I want what I came for.
I want the crown he promised me.
-(BONE CRACKING) -(SCREAMS) No!
TYRION: Good luck finding him.
A crown for a king.
-(MOLTEN METAL BUBBLING) -(SCREAMING)
VARYS: Who said anything about him?
(THUDS)
DAENERYS: He was no dragon.
Fire cannot kill a dragon.
TYWIN: Do you know what legacy means?
It's what you pass down to your children,
and your children's children.
(DRAGON SHRIEKS)
Aegon Targaryen changed the rules,
that's why every child alive still knows his name.
Aegon and his sisters.
It wasn't just Aegon riding his dragon.
It was Rhaenys and Visenya, too.
Rhaenys rode Meraxes, Visenya rode Vhagar.
(DRAGON SCREECHING)
She was a great warrior.
(SPEAKING VALYRIAN)
Dracarys.
(SCREAMING)

TYRION: You're in the great game now.
And the great game's terrifying.
They're all just spokes on a wheel.
This one's on top, then that one's on top,
and on and on, it spins, crushing those on the ground.
It's a beautiful dream, stopping the wheel.
DAENERYS: I'm not going to stop the wheel.
I'm going to break the wheel.
♪ (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) ♪
You'll be a good queen, for all of us.
DAENERYS: I'm here to free the world from tyrants.
That is my destiny.
Dracarys.
And I will serve it no matter the cost.
What if there's someone else? Someone better?
He needs to know the truth.
He's the son of Rhaegar Targaryen
and my aunt, Lyanna Stark.
JON SNOW: My name is Aegon Targaryen.
If it were true,
you'd have claim to the Iron Throne.
CERSEI: If the Mad King's daughter takes the Iron Throne,
she'll destroy the Realm as we know it.
You all remember the Mad King.
You remember the horrors he inflicted upon his people.
His daughter is no different.
In Essos, her brutality is already legendary.
She crucified hundreds of noblemen in Slaver's Bay.
And when she grew bored of that...
she fed them to her dragons.
-(SCREAMS) -DAENERYS: I know what my father was.
What he did.
I know the Mad King earned his name.
(WHISPERS) Burn them all. Burn them all!
(SPEAKING IN DOTHRAKI)
(ALL YELLING, SCREAMING)
SER BARRISTAN SELMY: When the people rose in revolt against him,
your father set their towns and castles aflame.
He murdered sons in front of their fathers.
(SCREAMING)
BARRISTAN: He burned men alive with wildfire
and laughed as they screamed.
I'm not my father.
No, Your Grace.
Thank the gods.
The Mad King gave his enemies
the justice he thought they deserved,
and each time, it made him feel powerful.
Right... until the very end.
DAENERYS: I'm not here to murder.
And all I want to destroy is the wheel
that has rolled over rich and poor.
I offer you a choice. Bend the knee and join me.
Together, we will leave the world a better place
than we found it.
Or refuse...
(ROARS)
...and die.
