A crowd of commoners gathers outside the walls of the Red Keep. QUYBURN exits.
QUYBURN: Queen Daenerys and her dragons have vanquished the tyranny of Cersei Lannister. Cheers from the crowd. By order of her royal majesty, she has proclaimed three days of holiday and renamed the city to Dragons' Landing. Reserve stocks of wheat and ale will be released in celebration of this glorious occasion. More cheers. Her honourable army of Unsullied and Dothraki will join the city celebrations and keep the Queen's peace. Any violations of this peace will be punished. On the third day, Queen Daenerys of House Targaryen, Mother of Dragons, Khalessi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Queen of the Seven Kingdoms will wed Jon Snow of Winterfell, the Resurrected, Commander of the Night's Watch, and King of the North. Together, a united Westeros is stronger! Long may she reign!
DROGON and RHAEGAL fly overhead. The crowd cheers.
CROWD: Daenerys! Mother of dragons! Queen!
QUYBURN: Long may she reign!
CROWD: Long may she reign! Long may she reign!
DROGON screams. Camera pans to a tower to MISSANDEI,GREYWORM, KOVARRO, and MALAKHO.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: They love her.
KOVARRO: Like we love her.
MISSANDEI: What was it like, to witness the birth of her dragons?
KOVARRO: We Dothraki only love the strong. When Karl Drogo died, many left us but I stayed.
MISSANDEI: Why did you stay?
KOVARRO: I stayed for Drogo. I confess, at the beginning, I did not love Khaleesi.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: You were jealous.
KOVARRO: Drogo and I were bloodriders. I first met Drogo as a boy and we learned to ride horses together. He was my brother and together, we rode into battle. We Dothraki are powerful, but we have lost. With Drogo as my Karl, we never lost. Villages of sheep men surrendered days after years until the day Daenerys allowed a ram-witch to curse Karl. I blamed Daenerys, yes, and I hated her. At Karl's funeral, I watched Drogo's body burn and hating Khaleesi. But she walked into the fire. I saw Drogo's body burn, but with Khaleesi, her body walked through fire unharmed. She laid beside him. She loved him, I saw, and my hate left me. In the morning, through the ashes, Khaleesi held three dragons in her arms. Three dragons. If Karl Drogo's death gave life to dragons, his soul still rides within Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: I wish she would let one of us ride her dragons. We are like their uncles.
KOVARRO, in Dothraki: We did help raise them.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: But instead Tyrion rides Viserion.
MISSANDEI: I thought you had to be Targaryen to ride.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: Dragons let ride whoever they want to let ride. They're smart fuckers, those beasts.
MISSANDEI: I wouldn't want to ride. I'm afraid of heights.
GREYWORM: Me neither. One fall down is death.
MALAKHO, staring above at DROGON and RHAEGAL: You're right. Horses much safer to fall off.
MISSANDEI: What will you do with your three days and ten golden dragons?
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: Eat. I've heard the city has cows. I've only eaten horses, goat, and fish. I'm curious how cows taste.
KOVARRO: We will eat a nice steak with some nice beer.
MISSANDEI: I've heard the best steak in King's Landing, I mean Dragon's Landing, is at the brothels. Men engage in intercourse then require sustenance.
GREYWORM: How do you know?
MISSANDEI: We women talk. Haven't you talked about the brothels?
KOVARRO: Some of us aren't talkers.
MISSANDEI: You need to talk to the locals. Us brown people look very different and some find us a little scary. Remember when you first saw Daenerys?
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: She and her white haired brother looked like ghosts!
KOVARRO, in Dothraki: In the Free Cities, we saw people like her.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: But they were never so pale!
MISSANDEI: Exactly. We saw them differently like the populace of Westeros sees us differently. But we're not that different. We love good food, good drink, and the companionship of someone we like, if not love. The Dothraki and Unsullied have to serve as ambassadors of her Queen in these three days.
MALAKHO: What means?
GREYWORM: Have fun and make friends.
KOVARRO: What will you do?
MISSANDEI: Our first stop is at the baths of Dragons' Landing. Greyworm and I will lounge in a private chamber with a view of Blackwater Bay. We'll drink wine while staring at the full moon.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: Let's go. I want to fuck, then eat steak.
KOVARRO, in Dothraki: They understand Dothraki, you know.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: I know. That's why I said it. MALAKHO and KOVARRO exit.
GREYWORM, holding MISSANDEI's hand: I love you.
MISSANDEI: I love you too.
CUT TO: Fireplace and camera sees white hair in a bed with legs parted open. Female moans until she giggles. Then male laughter. JON emerges from legs with a grin on his face and lays beside DAENERYS.
JON: My queen.
DAENERYS, grabbing him to hold him: My king.
JON: I love you.
DAENERYS: I love you.
JON: On our wedding night, I'll make love to you so we can raise a child together.
DAENERYS: I don't know if I can.
JON: Meaning?
DAENERYS: When I was pregnant with Karl Drogo's child, something happened. I had a miscarriage, but the baby, the unborn baby, it – it was an it – it had dragon wings. It wasn't a baby of this world, Jon, and I'm not certain whether it was because I was cursed by a witch or whether something's wrong with me and I just can't have normal children.
JON: I still love you no matter what.
DAENERYS: But if you're half Targaryen, maybe we can have a child together. I don't know. Does it matter to you if we can't have children?
JON: All that matters is loving you.
DAENERYS: Wait, I just had an idea.
JON: What is that, your grace?
DAENERYS, punches JON: Maybe you're immune to fire.
JON: As a Targaryen?
DAENERYS: Maybe. Look. My brother was full-blooded Targaryen and he didn't have this immunity. But I do, and the only way I found out was I took hot baths. Imagine all my life I've taken hot baths and not realizing they were scalding hot until I was wedded and had handmaidens to look after me. They were always surprised at how hot the water was for my baths. So I tested myself. I touched hot pots until I dared to touch hot fire and nothing happened.
JON: Do you want me to touch the fire there?
DAENERYS: No, not yet. First, let's see if you can handle scalding tea over your hands. DAENERYS scoops tea from the pot in the fire, and pours it over JON's hands.
DAENERYS: Do you feel anything?
JON: No.
DAENERYS: Good. Now, slowly move your hand into the flames. JON's hands reaches towards the fire. JON's face is scared but he continues to reach until his entire hand is in the flames. JON retracts his hand.
JON: That hurt. JON blows his hand but no damage is visible.
DAENERYS: Really? I feel nothing when I walk through fire.
JON: No, I definitely felt something. JON's face grimaces, but his hand shows no sign of damage. Maybe half Targaryen makes a difference.
DAENERYS: But you're not hurt.
JON: No.
DAENERYS: Then, could you do something for me?
JON: Everything.
DAENERYS: For our wedding ceremony, I was thinking the arena.
JON: The place where dragons used to fight and it's been disused for hundreds of years? The ruins of the arena?
DAENERYS: Yes, those ruins. I want my dragons there and the only place they'd fit are those dragon pits.
JON: That makes sense.
DAENERYS: I'd like flowers leading to steps leading to you waiting for me on top of those steps.
JON: With a bouquet in my hands.
DAENERYS: Lilies, a bouquet of lilies. The crowd is just people we care about because the pageantry wedding was done at the ruins of the Sept, after we had spoken our vows during our fire matrimony. But here, with my dragons, it's only you, me, Missandei, Greyworm, Kovarro, Malakho, Varys – family, those who have been with us since the beginning. Well, Tyrion if he hadn't disappeared with Viserion. But us and our immediate families.
JON: Fire matrimony?
DAENERYS: We need to let Dragons' Landing know why we are their rulers. Whenever I emerge from fire, people bow down in awe. It's just what happens when I emerge unscathed through flames, as if I'm like a god.
JON: Or the mother of dragons.
DAENERYS: Or the great Khaleesi.
JON: Were you naked afterward?
DAENERYS: Yes, obviously my clothes burnt off.
JON: Standing naked in front of the entire populace of Dragon's Landing seems like a bad idea.
DAENERYS: Yes, you've a point there.
JON: What if we wore armour?
DAENERYS: Armour? Would I look queen-like in armour?
JON: You were golden armour and I wear silver.
DAENERYS: That would be beautiful.
JON looks off into the distance.
DAENERYS: You want your family at our wedding, don't you?
JON: Yes. A raven from Winterfell. Arya and Bran are back. My family is back together in Winterfell.
DAENERYS: We could fly to Winterfell tomorrow.
JON: Really? It takes a month of hard riding on the King's Road.
DAENERYS: Queen's Road from now on, but yes. A couple of hours. I flew on Drogon from Vas Dothrak to Mereen in two days. We could fly to Winterfell in the morning so we have lunch with your family.
JON: Really?
DAENERYS: Really.
JON: Dragons are fucking wonderful, just like you.
DAENERYS: Did you ever think being king would make you happy?
JON: Never. It was duty and honour to be king.
DAENERYS: Me neither. But I am happy, Jon. I'm happy and in love with my king from the north.
JON: I am happy and in love with the woman who births dragons. I love you Daenerys.
They kiss then DAENERYS moans.
DAENERYS: Our wedding night.
JON: Fuck that. I want to fuck you now.
DAENERYS: Yes, Jon. Yes.
CUTTO: Exterior of Paetyr Bhaellish's brothel. KOVARRO and MALAKHO arrive.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: They better let us in. If I'm denied here like the two other places, I'm going to grow angry. Just because I'm brown doesn't mean I should be swept aside like no one important.
KOVARRO, in Dothraki: Malakho, we are important. We were by Queen Daenerys from the beginning.
MALAKHO, in Dothraki: We were, and we deserve a voice in all of this.
KOVARRO, in Dothraki: We do.
A big guard protects the entry of PETYR BHAELISH's brothel. He blocks MALAKHO and KOVARRO's entry.
GUARD: Do you know this place?
MALAKHO, annoyed, looks at KOVARRO. In Dothraki: This is so racist! Just because we're brown he won't let us in.
KOVARRO: Do you know who we are?
GUARD: No, that's why I ask.
KOVARRO: A friend of ours, you may know. Ellaria Sand. She told us about this place.
GUARD: Your names are?
MALAKHO: Malakho Boroje, bloodrider of her great Khalisaar.
KOVARRO: Kovarro Ko, bloodrider to her great Khalisaar.
GUARD: Please come in.
GUARD steps aside for MALAKHO and KOVARRO to enter. KOVARRO stares at GUARD, and MALAKHO notices.
HOSTESS greets them. She is scantily but tastefully clad. She resembles [DEAD WOMAN from SEASON2] but with darker hair.
HOSTESS: Welcome, welcome emissaries of her royal majesty. Your friend waits for you.
MALAKHO: Ellaria?
HOSTESS: Yes, she is enjoying a cocktail in our garden. Would you like to join her?
They nod.
CUTTO: Garden.
ELLARIA, in Dothraki: I wondered when you two would arrive.
[Following conversation is in Dothraki.]
MALAKHO: You speak Dothraki! Looking at KOVARRO. Did you know she spoke Dothraki?
KOVARRO shakes his head. To ELLARIA: May I ask you how you know Dothraki?
ELLARIA: My mother was Dothraki. Please, sit with me and enjoy a drink.
MALAKHO and KOVARRO sit and are served drinks.
KOVARRO: What was your mother's name?
ELLARIA: I only knew her as mother.
KOVARRO: Then you are true daughter of Dothraki. My mother was also only mother.
ELLARIA: Mother, daughter, or sister – these are the only roles for women in Dothraki.
MALAKHO: A woman can also be a whore in Vas Dothrak.
ELLARIA: A woman cannot hope to be much in Dothraki society yet you followed a woman from the Great Grass Sea over the Red Wastes to Qarth and eventually here. May I ask why?
KOVARRO: To follow the mother of dragons. Have you seen Queen Daenerys walk through fire to birth dragons?
ELLARIA: I can't say that I have.
MALAKHO: Fuck! It is the most awe-inspiring moment of life! Even if she was just a girl at the time, she was the mother of fucking dragons! She also had pretty tits.
KOVARRO: Can you be a gentleman for a moment? We're chatting with a Westerosi woman from Dorne.
MALAKHO: Fine, you chat. I need to piss. Then I need to fuck. MALAKHO rises and exits.
ELLARIA: Is he always this honest?
KOVARRO: He is, except most of the time, no one understands his Dothraki. After spending some time in the capital, I sense most Westerosi aren't so honest.
ELLARIA: In King's Landing, or Dragons' Landing, or whatever name this wretched city is called, few dare to speak honestly. The last man who spoke honestly was Eddard Stark and he died as Hand of the King.
KOVARRO: Are you speaking honestly?
ELLARIA: I am a woman who has had her vengeance. Cersei Lannister is dead. I have the liberty to speak honestly.
KOVARRO: Then can I be honest with you, if you're honest with me?
ELLARIA: This is why I met you here, and this is why I speak Dothraki with you.
KOVARRO: I'm in a foreign land. Things are different here. People behave differently here. People fear me here, I see their stares, but it's different than in Essos. In Essos, I was feared because I was strong. In Westeros, I am feared because I'm different.
ELLARIA: Some fear the strange, whereas others desire the exotic. In Dorne, we desire the exotic. In the north, they fear the strange. Here in the capital, you will need to discover who fears and who desires, and sometimes, those who fear learn to desire.
KOVARRO: Do you fear anything, Ellaria Sand of House Dorne?
ELLARIA: Not anymore.
KOVARRO: I fear. I fear dying here in this foreign land and no one mourns my passing.
ELLARIA: Then you need to find love. ELLARIA grabs KOVARRO's hand. Whatever love you desire, find it, cherish it, and be prepared to die for love. Then you will not fear dying, I promise.
MALAKHO returns and sees them holding hands.
MALAKHO: You know he isn't into women.
ELLARIA laughs.
ELLARIA: I know.
KOVARRO: How do you know?
ELLARIA: My former lover Oberyn also desired the company of men.
KOVARRO: It is common here?
ELLARIA: Not common, but known and you need not be afraid to love another man.
KOVARRO, looking at MALAKHO: And how did you know?
MALAKHO: It was pretty obvious you were in love with Karl Drogo. I was wondering when you'd tell me. So, are we going to fuck or what?
KOVARRO: Yes.
ELLARIA: Find love, if only for the night.
CUTTO: Brothel chamber [like in Season 1]. MALAKHO and KOVARRO sit while HOSTESS introduces women of various shapes, sizes, and colours. With names, of course.
MALAKHO, in accented Westerosi: Can I have all?
HOSTESS: For a bloodrider of Queen Daenerys, yes.
MALAKHO jumps from his seat. The women surround him and his hands cup a few breasts. MALAKHO, in Dothraki: This is what heaven must feel like. Kovarro, I wish you fun tonight. They exit.
HOSTESS: What do you desire?
KOVARRO: Men.
HOSTESS introduces men of various shapes, sizes, and colours. With names, of course. KOVARRO shakes his head.
HOSTESS: I had a feeling. The man you desire is in this room. She points to a door.
KOVARRO rises and opens the door. He sees the backside of a very large muscular man. The door closes and they are alone. The man turns around. It is the GUARD.
KOVARRO: I am Kovarro.
GUARD: I am Thor.
KOVARRO: You are the second biggest man I've met.
THOR: The other man must have been very big.
KOVARRO: He was. He was Karl Drogo. But you have yellow hair and blue eyes. KOVARRO strokes Thor's cheek. THOR wraps his hand around KOVARRO's waist.
THOR: You can kiss me.
KOVARRO gets on tippy toes to kiss THOR, and then they tumble to the bed with THOR on top.
THOR: I have never seen eyes so dark and skin so brown.
KOVARRO: Do you find me handsome?
THOR: Oh yes. They kiss.
KOVARRO: I have not made love to a man before.
THOR: Do you want me to be gentle?
KOVARRO: No. They kiss more.
CUTTO: Sunrise at Dragons' Landing. Over a field by a cliff on the seaside, DROGON and RHAEGAL sleep. DAENERYS enters.
DAENERYS, in Valerian: My children, good morning.
DROGON and RHAEGAL purr.
DAENERYS: Did you sleep well?
DROGON and RHAEGAL purr more.
DAENERYS: I slept well, if not long. DAENERYS smiles. Mother has breakfast. Cattle, butchered this morning. Nervous SERVANTS with carts bring two butchered cows, and SERVANTS stare in awe of the dragons. DROGON and RHAEGAL purr even louder.
DAENERYS, to DROGON and RHAEGAL: Beef tastes better than goat, if not even tastier than horse. DAENERYS, to SERVANTS: You should leave. When my children feast, it isn't pretty. SERVANTS exit and DROGON and RHAEGAL feast on the cattle. Dragon teeth crunch through cattle muscle and bone. DROGON roasts his cattle whereas RHAEGAL devours the cattle in bloody chunks.
After the carnage:
DAENERYS: This evening, we will feast on something even tastier than cattle. DROGON and RHAEGAL stare into DAENERYS.
DAENERYS: Tonight we feast on the north. Tonight we feast at Winterfell, and tonight, you will taste bear. Bears are supposedly twice the size of a horse.
DROGON and RHAEGAL purr.
DAENERYS: You know I love him. Mother loves her king from the north.
DROGON and RHAEGAL purr, and allow DAENERYS to pet them.
DAENERYS: Mother loves her dragons. I love you Drogon, I love you Rhaegal, and I'd say that to Viserion if she wasn't off somewhere with Tyrion. Your sister, she always felt left out, didn't she? Doesn't matter. Whereever she took him, I hope he comes back in one peace.
JON enters.
JON, bowing to each: My queen. Drogon. Rhaegal. JON walks to DAENERYS, and takes her hand to kiss it. My Daenerys.
DAENERYS: How is Ghost?
JON: I said goodbye to him in the garden. He knows it is only for two days, but he still wasn't happy about being left behind.
DAENERYS: But you'll see your family.
JON: But I'll see my family with you.
DAENERYS: Anything I should know about your family?
JON: Sansa is now a woman, and although she has been through much, she is fit to be the lady of Winterfell. She may be too protective, and if I'd wager, she won't like you because you're the queen, not because you're you. For Sansa, it's all about politics. Then there's Bran. He was the second youngest and the last I saw him, he was climbing towers in Winterfell. I have not seen him in seven years. I can't imagine what kind of man he's become. Then, there's Arya. Arya. She's the youngest and I miss her the most. I can't wait to see her again. She'd just love and adore you. I wonder if she still has Needle.
DAENERYS: Needle?
JON: I gave her a sword and she named it Needle. I hope she still has it.
DAENERYS: And the others we can't meet?
JON: Theon? I didn't like the pisswad growing up, and I still don't like the pisswad now. He can drown in the Narrow Sea for all I care.
DAENERYS: I didn't mean him. Ned, Caitlyn, Robb, and Rickon.
JON: Well, Rickon, he was the youngest boy and maybe too protected growing up. He was murdered by Ramsay Bolton and I avenged his death. Robb and my stepmother were murdered by the Freys, and I have not yet avenged them. Ned was murdered by that Joffrey. Now knowing all that I know, Joffrey was the real bastard of Westeros.
DAENERYS: You're right. He was literally a bastard.
JON: Bastard and king. Slicing Cersei's throat felt like I avenged for my father though.
DAENERYS: And if they were alive?
JON: Robb would have been a good king, a just king. If he were alive and met you, he'd be so happy to welcome you to the family. Caitlyn and Ned – if Ned had only told the truth, that I wasn't his bastard, maybe Caitlyn would not have felt betrayed and their marriage would have been happier. Maybe she would have been happy to see me marry you. And father, Ned, he'd be happy to see you. [EDITOR'S note: Eddard Stark resigned as Hand of King Robert Baratheon because he did not support Robert's plan to assassinate Daenerys, way back in Season 1. No longer protected as Hand of the King, Jaime Lannister attacked Eddard, eventually leading to his execution. So if Eddard Stark were still alive, he wouldn't only be happy, he'd be ecstatic – the girl he tried to save was not only still alive, but will be marrying his son.]
DAENERYS: Are you ready to see your family? Are you ready to fly to Winterfell?
JON: Aye my love.
DAENERYS mounts DROGON. JON mounts RHAEGAL. Dragon and rider jump from the cliff and get pushed up by the wind. They soar over Dragon's Landing and start flapping their wings to change course north.
End of Season 7.
ROLL CREDITS.
Then, teaser for Season 8.
TYRION rides VISERION to KING'S LANDING, but the city is eerily quiet. TYRION enters the empty throne room. VARYS stares at the iron throne then turns around.
VARYS: You're alive! VARYS runs to hug TYRION. You're alive! I'm so happy to see you!
TYRION: Dear friend, I'm happy to see you as well.
VARYS: What happened? Your beard.
TYRION: Eight weeks without a razer and my beard keeps growing. What happened to King's Landing?
VARYS: The city is now known as Dragons' Landing.
TYRION: So Daenerys was successful in conquering the city?
VARYS: Yes, very much successful. Where did you fly to?
TYRION: Valeria. I learned something. TYRION opens his hand, and a pulse of blue light glows from his palm.
[Ready for a better Season 8? The Night King awaits true death.]
