TEXT: ( Cawing ) There was a raven from King's Landing. Jon Arryn is dead. The King rides for Winterfell with the Queen and all the rest of them. The Queen has two brothers? There's the pretty one, and there's the clever one. I would name you the Hand of the King. We were meant to rule together. I have a son, you have a daughter. We'll join our houses. The boy I beheaded... he was talking madness. Said the others slaughtered his friends. Ned: A Wildling ambush. Maybe. You're Tyrion Lannister. You... you're Ned Stark's b*st*rd, aren't you? Let me give you some advice, b*st*rd. Never forget what you are and it can never be used to hurt you. It's a direwolf. There are no direwolves south of the wall. Now there are five, one for each of the Stark children. What about you? I'm not a Stark. That one's yours, Snow. May I present Viserys of House Targaryen, the rightful King of the Andals, and his sister Daenerys? I don't want to be his queen. I want to go home. We go home with an army... with Khal Drogo's army. From your sister. She says Jon Arryn was murdered by the Lannisters. She says the King is in danger. What if Jon Arryn told someone? Whatever Jon Arryn knew died with him. The things I do for love. <unk> Game of Thrones 1x02 <unk> The Kingsroad Original Air Date on April 24, 2011 [SCENE_BREAK] Jorah Mormont : You need to drink, child. And eat.

SUMMARY:
Ned, the new Hand of the King, travels to King's Landing accompanied by his daughters, Sansa and Arya . Catelyn remains at Winterfell to care for the still unconscious Bran. An assassin attacks Bran, but Catelyn fends him off and Bran's direwolf , Summer, kills him. Catelyn suspects the Lannisters were behind the attack. Ned's illegitimate son, Jon , heads north with his uncle, Benjen Stark, to join the Night's Watch, the protectors of the Wall, a massive ice structure that keeps the Wildling tribes and the mythical White Walkers from civilized Westeros. Before departing, Jon gave tomboy Arya a thin sword she names, "Needle". Queen Cersei's younger brother, Tyrion Lannister , a dwarf also known as "The Imp," accompanies Jon to the Wall. In King's Landing, Prince Joffrey threatens Arya's young commoner friend, later having him killed. Nymeria, Arya's direwolf, defends her, biting Joffrey. Cersei demands that Robert have the wolf killed, but Arya releases Nymeria to the wild. Sansa's direwolf, Lady, is killed instead. In Winterfell, Brandon awakens, remembering nothing about his fall. He will live, but his legs are permanently paralyzed. Meanwhile, Daenerys is befriended by Ser Jorah Mormont , a disgraced knight, while she focuses on learning how to please Drogo.
