TEXT: (Camera pans down to to show Ned Stark, sleeping. He opens his eyes. He's lying on a bed. He turns his head to see Cersei and Robert in front of him) Eddard Stark: Your pardon, your Grace. I would rise, but... Cersei Baratheon: Do you know what your wife has done? Eddard Stark: She did nothing I did not command. Robert Baratheon: Who'd have thought she had it in her? Cersei Baratheon: By what right dare you lay hands on my blood? Eddard Stark: I am the King's Hand, charged with keeping the peace... Cersei Baratheon: You were the King's Hand. You shall now be held accountable. Robert Baratheon: Will both of you shut your mouths?! Catelyn will release Tyrion and you'll make your peace with Jaime. Eddard Stark: He butchered my men... Cersei Baratheon: Lord Stark was returning drunk from a brothel when his men attacked Jaime. Robert Baratheon: Quiet, woman. Eddard Stark: Jaime has fled the city. Give me leave to bring him back to justice. (Robert stares at Ned) Cersei Baratheon: I took you for a King. Robert Baratheon: Hold your tongue. Cersei Baratheon: He's attacked one of my brothers and abducted the other. I should wear the armor and you the gown. (Robert slaps her) Cercei: I shall wear this like a badge of honor. Robert Baratheon: Wear it in silence or I'll honor you again. (Cersei looks at Ned, back at Robert, then leaves the room) Robert Baratheon: See what she does to me? (pours wine from a goblet into a cup) My loving wife. I should not have hit her.(sits down on the bed, facing away from Ned). That was not... That was not Kingly. (drinks the wine) Eddard Stark
SUMMARY:
King Robert reappoints Ned as Hand and tasks him with running affairs until Robert returns from hunting. Villagers from Riverrun arrive with news of atrocities committed by raiders, who Ned deduces were led by Ser Gregor Clegane , a Lannister retainer. Ned sentences Ser Gregor to death and summons Tywin Lannister to a trial. Ned decides to send Sansa (now reconciled with Joffrey) and Arya back to Winterfell. Ned has discovered that Joffrey and his two siblings are not Robert's biological children, and were fathered by Jaime Lannister. Bran, while testing his new saddle, is attacked by rogue Wildings. Robb , Ned's oldest son, and Theon , Ned's captive ward, whose father, King Balon, was a fallen rebel, rescue him, and the woman Wilding, Osha, is enslaved. In the Vale, Tyrion demands a trial by combat . Lysa chooses Ser Vardis as her champion. The sellsword Bronn volunteers as Tyrion's champion. He defeats Vardis and obtains Tyrion's release. Meanwhile, Viserys grows impatient and angry waiting for Drogo to fulfill his promise, and he threatens to kill Daenerys' unborn child. Drogo kills Viserys by pouring molten gold on his head.
