Come in. [Sam enters] Samwell Tarly.
I wasn't sure if you'd remember me.
I remember everything. You helped us get beyond the Wall. You're a good man.
Oh. Well, thank you, but, um, I'm not sure that I am. What happened to you beyond the Wall?
I became the Three-Eyed Raven.
Oh. I don't know what that means.
I can see things that happened in the past. I can see things happening now, all over the world. Why did you come to Winterfell?
Jon's the one to lead the fight against the dead. I know he is. But he can't do it alone. So I've come here to help him.
He's on his way back to Winterfell... with Daenerys Targaryen.
Y-you saw this... in a vision? [Bran holds up a scroll] Oh.
He needs to know the truth.
The truth about what?
About himself. No one knows, no one but me. Jon isn't really my father's son. He's the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and my aunt, Lyanna Stark. He was born in a tower in Dorne. His last name isn't really Snow, it's Sand.
He's not.
Dornish bastards are named "Sand".
At the Citadel, I transcribed a High Septon's diary. He annulled Rhaegar's marriage to Elia. He wed Rhaegar and Lyanna in a secret ceremony!
Are you certain?
It's what the High Septon wrote in his private diary. I don't know why he'd lie. Is there something you can see?
[Bran has a vision of Lyanna and Rhaegar's wedding]
Father, Smith, Warrior. Mother, Maiden, Crone. Stranger. I am hers/his, and she/he is mine, from this day until the end of my days.
Robert's rebellion was built on a lie. Rhaegar didn't kidnap my aunt, or rape her. He loved her. And she loved him. And Jon... Jon's real name...
[to Ned Stark, in flashback] His name...is Aegon Targaryen. You have to protect him. Promise me, Ned.
He's never been a bastard. He's the heir to the Iron Throne. He needs to know. We need to tell him.
