Your Grace, allow me to present the Captains of the Second Sons: Mero of Braavos, Prendahl Na Ghezn, and...
DNDaario Naharis
Daario Naharis.
MMero
You're the mother of Dragons? I swear I fucked you once, in a pleasure house in Lys.
MMero
Why? I didn't mind hers. She licked my ass like she was born to do it. [grins at her, then gestures to Missandei] You, slave girl. Bring wine.
MMero
You'll all be slaves after the battle, unless I save you. Take your clothes off, and come and sit on Mero's lap, and I may give you my Second Sons.
Give me your Second Sons, and I may not have you gelded. Ser Barristan, how many men fight for the Second Sons?
Under two thousand, Your Grace.
I'm only a young girl, new to the ways of war, but perhaps a seasoned Captain like yourself can explain to me how you propose to defeat us?
DNDaario Naharis
I hope the old man is better with a sword than he is with a lie. You have eight thousand Unsullied.
You're very young, to be a Captain.
PNPrendahl Na Ghezn
He isn't a Captain; he's a lieutenant.
Even if your numbers are right, you must admit the odds don't favor your side.
MMero
The Second Sons have faced worse odds and won.
The Second Sons have faced worse odds and run.
Or, you could fight for me.
MMero
We've taken the slavers' gold. We fight for Yunkai.
I would pay you as much, and more.
PNPrendahl Na Ghezn
Our contract is our bond. If we break our bond, no one will hire the Second Sons again.
Ride with me, and you'll never need another contract. You'll have gold and castles and lordships of your choosing, when I take back the Seven Kingdoms.
DNDaario Naharis
You have no ships, you have no siege weapons. You have no cavalry.
A fortnight ago, I had no army. A year ago, I had no dragons. You have two days to decide.
MMerot
Show me your cunt. I want to see if it's worth fighting for.
Grey Worm[in Valyrian] My Queen, shall I slice out his tongue for you?
[smiles, replies in Valyrian] These men are our guests. [to Mero] You seem to be enjoying my wine. Perhaps you'd like a flagon to help you think it over?
MMero
Only a flagon? And what are my brothers-in-arms to drink?
MMero
Good! The Titan's Bastard does not drink alone. In the Second Sons, we share everything. Maybe after the battle, we'll all share you. I'll come looking for you after this is over.
Ser Barristan, if it comes to battle, kill that one first.
RMRazdahl mo Eraz
Once before, I offered you peace. If you had not been so arrogant, you could have returned to your homeland with a fleet of ships. Instead, you will flee Slaver's Bay on foot, like the Beggar Queen you are.
We are here to discuss terms of surrender, not to trade insults.
YZYezzan zo Qaggaz
The terms are simple. You, and your foreign friends will abandon the Great Pyramid, and the City of Meereen. The Unsullied you stole from Kraznys mo Nakloz will remain, to be sold again to the highest bidder. The translator you stole from Kraznys mo Nakloz will remain, to be sold again to the highest bidder. The dragons beneath the Great Pyramid will be slaughtered.
We obviously didn't communicate clearly. We are here to discuss your surrender, not mine.
RMRazdahl mo Eraz
I imagine it's difficult. Adjusting to the new reality. Your reign is over!
[Suddenly, Drogon flies over them, roaring. Dany climbs onto his back and they take off. Rhaegal and Viseryon join him flying over the attacking fleet]
[The three dragons attack a warship.]
Grey Worm
[addressing the Master's slave-guards, in Valyrian] You men have a choice: fight and die for the Masters, who would never fight and die for you, or go home to your families.
[after a brief pause, the guards drop their weapons and run away, leaving the shocked Masters surrounded by the Unsullied]
Thank you for the armada! Our Queen does love ships. Now... Last time we spoke, we made a pact. You violated that pact. You declared war upon us. And, though our Queen does have a forgiving nature, this... cannot be forgiven.
Our Queen insists that one of you must die, as punishment for your crimes.
It always seems a bit abstract, doesn't it? Other people dying.
[After a pause, Razdahl pushes Yezzan forward]
RMRazdahl mo Eraz
Him. He should die.
RMRazdahl mo Eraz
He's not one of us, He's an outsider, low-born! He does not speak for us.
YZYezzan zo Qaggaz
Please. [falls to his knees] Please.
[Grey Worm cuts the throats of the other two Masters, leaving Yezzan alive.]
Tell your people what happened here. Tell them you live by the grace of Her Majesty. When they come forward with notions of retribution, or ideas about returning the slave-cities to their former glory...remind them what happened, when Daenerys Stormborn and her dragons came to Meereen.
Grey Worm
[on the Unsullied] Half are gone.
And the Golden Company has arrived in King's Landing, courtesy of the Greyjoy Fleet. The balance has become... distressingly even.
When the people find out what we have done for them, how we saved them-
Cersei will make sure they don't believe it. We will hit her hard. We will rip her out, root and stem.
The objective here is to remove Cersei, without destroying King's Landing.
Thankfully, she's losing allies by the day. Yara Greyjoy has retaken the Iron Islands in her Queen's name. The new Prince of Dorne pledges his support.
No matter how many Lords turn against her, as long as she sits on the Iron Throne, she can call herself Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. We need the capital.
I watched the people of King's Landing rebel against their King when they were hungry, and that was before winter began. Give them the opportunity, and they will cast Cersei aside.
We'll surround the city. If the Iron Fleet tries to ferry in more food, the dragons will destroy them. If the Lannisters and the Golden Company attack, we'll defeat them in the field.
Once the people see that Cersei is our only enemy, her reign is over.
The men we have left are exhausted. Many of them are wounded. They'll fight better if they have time to rest and recuperate.
I can't say for certain, not without talking to the officers.
I came north to fight alongside you, at great cost to my armies and myself. Now that the time has come to reciprocate, you want to postpone.
It's not just our people, it's yours! You want to throw them into a war they're not ready to fight?
The longer I leave my enemies alone, the stronger they become.
[firmly] The Northern forces will honor their promises, and their allegiance to the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. What you command, we will obey.
So. If all are in agreement... Jon and Ser Davos will ride down the Kingsroad with the Northern troops and the bulk of the remaining Dothraki and Unsullied. A smaller group of us will ride to White Harbor, and sail from there to Dragonstone, with our Queen and her dragons accompanying us from above. Ser Jaime has chosen to remain here, as a quest of the Lady of Winterfell.
[locking eyes with Sansa] We have won the Great War. Now, we will win the last war. In all Seven Kingdoms, men will live without fear and cruelty... under their rightful Queen.
