Game Of Thrones - S02 - 15 - power lives where people believe it lives
Transcript
00:00You'll be pleased to know our mutual friend is doing quite well in Lady Sansa's service.
00:06Good. One of my better ideas.
00:09And it seems the Grand Maester has found his way into a black cell.
00:16Well played, my Lord Hand.
00:19But should I be worried?
00:22Janus, Slynt, Pycelle, the small council grows smaller every day.
00:27The council has a reputation for serving past hands poorly.
00:30I don't mean to follow Ned Stark to the grave.
00:34Power is a curious thing, my Lord.
00:38Are you fond of riddles?
00:40Why? Am I about to hear one?
00:42Three great men sit in a room.
00:44A king, a priest, and a rich man.
00:47Between them stands a common sellsword.
00:50Each great man bids the sellsword kill the other two.
00:54Who lives, who dies.
00:57Depends on the sellsword.
00:59Does it?
01:00He has neither crown, nor gold, nor favour with the gods.
01:03He has a sword, the power of life and death.
01:06But if it swordsmen who rule, why do we pretend kings hold all the power?
01:11When Ned Stark lost his head, who was truly responsible?
01:16Joffrey, the executioner, or something else?
01:20I've decided I don't like riddles.
01:25Power resides where men believe it resides.
01:30It's a trick, a shadow on the wall.
01:34And a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
01:41You can use a hammer.
01:42Take it, I've Peel, a mother.
01:43Make a knife.
01:44Enjoy the��.
01:45Feel.
01:46Okay.
01:47We'll do it.
01:48Here's to your hand.
01:49We'll do it.
01:50We'll do it.
01:52That's great.
