Game of Thrones: Jaime takes Riverrun

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 08 No One

Edmure orders his men to surrender Riverrun, and also orders the Blackfish’s capture. The Blackfish helps Brienne and Podrick escape, but stays behind to fight to the last. Jaime is informed about the death of the Blackfish, and sees Brienne and Pod escaping on the river. Both Jaime and Brienne mournfully wave each other farewell.

BLACKFISH: Go on.
BRIENNE: Come with us.
BLACKFISH: I’ve run before from the Red Wedding. I’m not running again. This is my family home.
BRIENNE: Your family is in the North. Come with us. Don’t die for pride when you can fight for your blood.
BLACKFISH: You’ll serve Sansa far better than I ever could.
GUARD: All the way down!
GUARD: Check that out!
BLACKFISH: Go on, now. I haven’t had a proper sword fight in years. I expect I’ll make a damn fool of myself.

Game of Thrones: Edmure is allowed to enter Riverrun

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 08 No One

Jaime talks with Edmure, trying to win his cooperation by tempting him with seeing his newborn son; who he has never seen; and offering to send him and his family to Casterly Rock, away from the Freys. Jaime then says he wants to take Riverrun to be back with Cersei, and he is willing to do anything to achieve it, even if it means killing every Tully he finds, including Edmure and his son. Jaime then sends Edmure to parley with the Blackfish. Despite the Blackfish’s protests, the Tully soldiers allow Edmure entry into the castle.

EDMURE: You didn’t come here to talk about our sisters.
JAIME: That’s exactly why I came here. I love Cersei. You can laugh at that if you want. You can sneer. Doesn’t matter. She needs me. And to get back to her, I have to take Riverrun. I’ll send for your baby boy. And I’ll launch him into Riverrun with a catapult. Because you don’t matter to me, Lord Edmure. Your son doesn’t matter to me. The people in the castle don’t matter to me. Only Cersei. And if I have to slaughter every Tully who ever lived to get back to her, that’s what I’ll do.

GUARD: Who goes there?
EDMURE: Edmure Tully, son of Hoster Tully and the rightful Lord of Riverrun. I demand entry.
BLACKFISH: Don’t let him in.
GUARD: He’s the Lord of Riverrun. I have to obey his commands.
BLACKFISH: He’s been their captive ever since they murdered his king at the Red Wedding. Why do you think the people who murdered his king at the Red Wedding would decide to let him come home? Because it’s a trap, you idiot. Don’t let him in.
GUARD: He’s my lord, my lord. I’ve sworn to serve the Lord of Riverrun and obey his commands.
BLACKFISH: You’re not obeying Edmure’s commands. You’re obeying the fucking Kingslayer’s commands.
EDMURE: I demand entry.
GUARD: My lord has given an order.
BLACKFISH: With a knife to his throat. That is not a valid order.
GUARD: Lower the drawbridge and open the gate for Lord Ed–
GUARD: Aye, ser.
BLACKFISH: I’ll have your head before I surrender Riverrun.
GUARD: You are not lord of this castle, my lord. Lower the drawbridge.
GUARD: Aye, ser!

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 08 No One

Brienne remembers Jaime that, in case of her fail to convince Blackfish to surrender, the honor will force her to fight him for Sansa’s kin. Jaime then says he hopes that doesn’t happen.

BRIENNE: One last thing, Ser Jaime.
JAIME: Yes, Lady Brienne?
BRIENNE: Should I fail to persuade the Blackfish to surrender and if you attack the castle, honor compels me to fight for Sansa’s kin.
JAIME: Of course it does.
BRIENNE: To fight you.
JAIME: Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Game of Thrones: Brienne and Jaime Part 1

Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 08 No One

Brienne explains to Jaime that she has come to recruit the Blackfish and the Tully army for Sansa, but Jaime points out that he is currently besieged in Riverrun and refuses to surrender the castle. Brienne proposes that if she can convince the Blackfish to surrender the castle, then Jaime will allow him and the Tully army safe passage to the North. Jaime agrees to the plan, but gives Brienne until nightfall. She then returns Oathkeeper to Jaime, stating that she has completed her mission. Jaime, however, tells her that she can keep it, as Oathkeeper is hers and hers alone.

JAIME: What the hell are you doing here?
BRIENNE: I’ve come for the Blackfish.
JAIME: You’re welcome to have him.
BRIENNE: Lady Sansa desires to take her ancestral seat back from the Boltons and assume her rightful position as Lady of Winterfell.
JAIME: With what army does she plan on taking Winterfell?
BRIENNE: The Tully army.
JAIME: They’re a bit occupied at the moment.
BRIENNE: I was sent here to reclaim Riverrun currently defended by the Tully rebels, so you can see the conundrum.
BRIENNE: The Tullys are rebels because they’re fighting for their home?
JAIME: Riverrun was granted to the Freys by royal decree.
BRIENNE: As a reward for betraying Robb Stark and slaughtering his family.
JAIME: Exactly. We shouldn’t argue about politics.
BRIENNE: You’re a knight, Ser Jaime. I know there is honor in you. I’ve seen it myself.
JAIME: I’m a Lannister. Don’t ask me to betray my own house.
BRIENNE: I do no such thing. Take Riverrun without bloodshed. Ride south again with your mission complete and your army intact.
JAIME: What do you propose?
BRIENNE: Allow me to enter Riverrun under a flag of truce. Let me try to persuade the Blackfish to give up the castle.
JAIME: Why would he abandon his ancestral home?
BRIENNE: Because you’ll allow him to lead the Tully forces safely north.
JAIME: Have you ever met the Blackfish?
BRIENNE: No.
JAIME: He’s even more stubborn than you are. All right. Try to talk some sense into the old goat. He won’t listen, but his men might. Not everybody wants to die for someone else’s home.
BRIENNE: I need your word. If I persuade him to abandon the castle, you’ll grant a safe passage north.
JAIME: You have my word. You have until nightfall.
