A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2026) s01e05 Episode Script

In the Name of the Mother

1
[HORSES HUFFING, NEIGHING]
Do not panic.
Remain in formation.
Keep your mounts as long as you can.
These men mean to see you dead.
They will fight savagely.
[HUMFREY HARDYNG] As will we, my lord.
[RAYMUN RETCHING]
[LAUGHING]
Green fucking boys!
[DUNK AND RAYMUN COUGHING]
What of the Kingsguard?
Take heart, Beesbury.
I will handle the Kingsguard.
Their oath forbids them
to harm a prince of the blood.
Is that honorable, Your Grace?
The gods will let us know.
Mother loved you best, huh?
Shame.
No man fights so fierce
as one neglected by his mother.
Be vigilant. Don't die.
Ser.
My lance, squire.
You best be here when I get back.
Rob me, and I'll hunt you down
with dogs.
Woof!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
[ASHFORD SEPTON] May
the Seven bear witness
to our solemn and bloody offering.
May they peer inside our
mortal hearts and find the truth.
May the Warrior grant victory
to the innocent
and reveal the guilty
in their falseness.
May death sustain life.

[GASPING]
[STIFLED GRUNTING]
- Don't!
- Ah!
What the fuck are you doing?
He's got a seal.
[YOUNG DUNK] He's dying.
If we can get him off the hill,
might someone pay us for his ransom.
Quick!
[WHEEZING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[LABORED GASPING]
[RAFE] Fuck!
Do you know any words?
What's that mean?
You see, when these
bloody highborn spoil,
you got you gotta say words for them.
[DUNK] Oh.
Why?
So they don't end up in
no hell with the rest of us.
I don't know any words.
[SIGHS]
Right. Check his mouth.
I know a witch who pays
copper for teeth.
I am your queen!
Wipe my arse, liege.
What?
You never seen a man die before?
Yeah.
But not like that.
He was crying for his mother.
Yeah, what's she gonna do?
- Lift the fucking horse off his legs?
- [HORSE NEIGHING]
Shit, come on.
Right, come on.
- Come on.
- [GRUNTING SOFTLY]
I just don't know why we're in
such a rush to leave anymore.
The war is over.
The Black Dragon is dead.
Ferret said we're all
to get free bread now.
Are you stupid?
Nothing's over.
Don't you remember when
Pudding killed Cedric's little brother?
- That was an accident.
- Aye.
And we all figured
that'd be the end to it,
only for Cedric
to come back a year later
and near burn down half of
Flea Bottom trying to kill Pudding.
No one forgets shit.
You hurt someone, they hurt you back.
If you want to stay, fine.
But Flea Bottom
is full up on people hurting.
It's tinder waiting to catch.
[SOLDIERS GROANING, SCREAMING]
[TOWNSPERSON] Stay calm now.
You'll be alright.
[CHILDREN CHATTERING]
[TOWNSPERSON COUGHING]
[CHATTERING CONTINUES]
Rafe.
Dunk.
What's in the bag?
Rats.
Oh!
Rats!
Let's see 'em, then.
[LOUD CLAMORING]
[BABY CRYING]
Fucking cunt!
[CHICKENS CLUCKING]
You shouldn't have done that.
You know what Alester's like.
Aye, and the evil bastard
was about to steal our shit,
- so I stole his.
- That's not what I meant.
Oh, is that not what you meant?
I'm doing him a favor.
This ale tastes as sour
as the queen's own brew.
Come on.
[ITEMS CLATTERING]
We'll all be plundering
that tomb for a dragon's age.
Hey!
Daemon's rebellion is over.
Take your Blackfyre leather elsewhere.
[DUNK SIGHS]
- [COINS JINGLING]
- [DUNK] Is it enough?
It's enough.
[MUFFLED MUSIC PLAYING FAINTLY]
Hey, don't lose your nerve now.
The shit part's done.
I know.
We'll be sailing off
into all kinds of adventures.
- Don't you want that?
- I do.
I just
What?
What if the Free Cities
are no better than here?
What if they're worse?
Then we'll go someplace else.
What if it's all shit?
Every place?
What if this is the best there is?
That would be quite sad.
And what if my mother
comes back for me?
I'm not stupid. I know she's dead.
But what if she's just
trying to get away
from wherever she is? Like we are?
If I leave, then how will she find me?
You are fucking stupid sometimes.
If your mother was alive,
she's not coming back for you.
You don't know that.
I know I never got nothin'
by waiting around.
You want a family?
Go out there, get a family.
I just want to be with you.
'Cause you love me.
Yeah.
Well
I love you too, don't I?
And I'm going.
So, you best be coming with me.
This city is too small for us, Dunk.
Let's show her our arse.
[BABY CRYING]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Right, come on, Dunk.
[GOATS BLEATING]
Dunk, get a move on.
[RAFE] Two fares to the Free Cities.
What? Our silver don't spend?
Price is double.
You're not the only ones who
mean to get the fuck out of here.
- Right. Move!
- Wait, get off me!
Rafe.
Fuck!
- I suppose you're happy.
- What?
You've got plenty of time to wait
around for your dead mother now.
[DISTANT BELL RINGING]
I'm sorry.
We'll find a way.
[RESIDENTS COUGHING, GROANING]
You got quick hands, girl.
I used to have quick hands.
[PIGS GRUNTING]
[PIGS CONTINUE GRUNTING]
I'll have me ale-skin back.
I, uh, sold it.
[ALESTER CHUCKLES]
No! [GRUNTING] No, no.
We can get it back.
- [GRUNTING]
- [FABRIC TEARING]
[THUD]
Oh, what's that?
- [COINS JINGLING]
- [GRUNTING]
Fuck off! Give it back.
Give it back.
[COINS JINGLING]
Holding out on us.
[RAFE] That's ours.
Little gutter rats don't have silver.
Only little thieves.
We didn't thieve nothing.
We earned that.
Stealing from dead nobles
is still stealing.
- And what's stealing from us?
- [GRUNTING]
- That's life.
- Yeah.
[SIGHS]
Huh.
[DUNK] Come on.
Rafe, let's go.
Rafe!
Go on.
Rafe.
[GRUNTING]
[CHUCKLES]

I'll have to cut that mail off you.
- [GRUNTING]
- [DUNK] The others.
Has anyone died?
Beesbury and Hardyng,
in the first charge.
- [GRUNTING]
- Gods be good.
The lance point drove the rings
deep into his flesh.
One moment, I felt drunk.
The next, like I'm dying.
[GROANING]
We'll get drunk, then we'll pour,
uh, boiling oil on it.
That's how the maesters do it.
[BAELOR TARGARYEN] Wine. Not oil.
Oil will kill him.
I'll send Maester Yormwell
to have a look at him
when he's done tending to my brother.
Your Grace. [GRUNTING]
I am your man.
Please. Your man.
I need good men, Ser Duncan.
The realm.
[DUNK GROANING]
[GROANING]
Ser Raymun, my helm,
if you would be so kind.
- At once, Your Grace.

- You're alright. You're alright.
- Visor's visor's cracked.
- [DUNK GROANING]
My fingers feel
fingers feel like wood.
[RAYMUN] Goodman Pate.
A hand.
The helm, it's crushed down the back,
Your Grace.
It's smashed into the gorget.
My brother's mace, most like.
- He's strong.
