Definitely the one getting choked. Arryk blamed his brother for abandoning’ his oath and leaving him in Kingslanding. Kinda weird tho I was sure that Eryk was the on with the slashed leg
@@romaboo2293 Erryk right leg as well as a scratch on the forehead, and Arryk left leg got cut as soon as the guards went in. So I think Arryk won, realized he fucked up, called Rhaenyra your grace and apologizes before killing himself. Is what I think happened.
@@homefry4102showrunners confirmed that Erryk killed Arryk. The fight was confusing (in a good way) but it was only Arryk who suffered leg wounds. First on the right leg before he fell on the pot then on the left when ser Laurent entered the room.
Erryk steps towards the still wary Queen before proclaiming, "Your grace, forgive me." "The pain Erryk felt when he kills his brother is the most intense feeling he's ever felt," says Elliott. "When he says, 'Forgive me' he's saying it to Rhyneara because he's about to sacrifice himself in front of her. But it's also directed towards his brother."
“Arryk” (who sided with aegon & was sent to kill her) is the one who kills himself in front of Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra’s guard, Erryk who stays loyal to her till death, is the one on the ground dead
@@kieragoins2277 That's not true. Setting aside the fact it's idiotic to spare the reason you just murdered your twin, Arryk is the one who was pushed away toward the sword and that twin was the one stabbed and killed.
No it’s definitely Erryk that kill’s himself. Writer confirmed it. Not only that, but watch it again… Arryk is the one that screams “you parted us…”. Then when he falls back he is in front or Rhaenyra and goes for the overhead slash, Erryk stabs him. Then kill’s himself
@@j.j.freeman2612 Erryk is the one with the slash on the right of his face and the open slash above his right knee. Literally after he takes those blows he jumps up and blocks Arryk from striking Rhaenyra again.
I like to imagine that it was Arryk who killed Erryk and in his sudden realisation of what he had done, he decided to end himself. His "forgive me" was him apologising to Rhaenyra for trying to kill her
@@JohnnyBock Arryk cuts Erryk in the leg, then swings at Rhaenyra. Later on, Arryk shoves his hand into Erryk's leg wound, then Erryk scrambles for his sword and gets stabbed
This is something the audience will never understand but in the book its made clear that the two brothers are leal to their respective leaders regardless of the cause... and that's the point, the tragedy, brothers killing brothers for a war they didn't even started due to the violence inherent in the system.
One of them tried to kill a member of the royal family, which is like the actual mission you have to fulfil to earn that cloak. Dude was between a rock and a hard place, but in the end he’s suppose to be loyal to the royal family (which also includes Rhaenyra) and not one cause. Especially since it wasnt Aegon that ordered it, it was Cole and Arryk followed his orders to save his own ass.
@@SpetalskBKHSBS The twin who serves Aegon had a good point of his own. The knights swore to serve whoever sits on the Iron Throne. Because of this Bristan also served Robert who took the throne from his former king
@@amitkenan3878 yes I get that, but a kingsguard duty is to 1. obey the kings order and 2. protect the royal family. The order came from Criston, not Aegon who didnt know about it until later (and Arryk followed because he was scared of getting the blame for the killing of the prince) and Rhaenyra is a member of the royal family. Thats a double offense.
@@SpetalskBKHSBS Aegon appointed Criston to be Hand of the King shortly after the twin's assignment, so it's safe to assume the King would have happily approved the assignment if he'd known about it earlier
Yes it is, George gets it right how a lot of these twins feel. You are 1 soul, as they say in this episode. You have someone who has shared the exact same experiences with you and someone you can confide in. A twin is much different as I have come to learn with mine
@@WBSlashH Are you a spiritual master to descern if twin borns are one soul? You have only material knowledge but dont understand the nature of things, much less the nature of soul. If you understand the soul that means you understand God and such persons are the most rare to find. Stop joking.
To those wondering why they just didn’t fight, they are supposed to be the antithesis to Sr Crispin and cherish their honor and duty above all. The opposing force of brotherly love while the second most important thing to them was not enough the besmirch their honor. It’s such a heartbreaking scene.
I found this episode to be hit and miss. Every scene was well done, and the Otto or Rhaenyra scenes were spectacular. But I thought it jumped about too much, especially with the unnecessary Aemond and Hugh Hammer scenes. Save that for next episode.
I remember what princess Shireen said about the dance of the dragon. "Their fight divided the kingdom into two brothers fight brothers, dragons fight dragons by the time it's over thousands were dead"
80 years from this moment, Ser Duncan the Tall would wander Westeros. How can a simple hedge knight be more honorable and deserving of the white cloak than the vile creature named Cole?
Because they butchered Cole's character. He's supposed to represent bits of both the best and worst kings guard, as Jaime says in the book. But Ryan hates him like D&D hated Stannis, so will continue to ruin his character until everyone cheers for his death.
Except this is how events actually played out, by Martin’s own words, and are not told through the bias of a maester compiling already biased sources. A maester we KNOW why biased against Rhaenyra from the start
I don't understand why everyone is looking at the wounds to determine who died first, the twin that dies is the one who says "you parted us", meaning he is the one who stayed with the greens (arryk)
Agreed and they both wounded each other in the leg. Erryk wounded first and Arryk wounded shortly after. You can even see the blood on his pants leg where he was cut when he apologies if you look toward the area.
Because words can be (mis)interpreted, while wounds, as long as the show respects continuity, are visual facts. Besides, notice how one gets hurt on the left leg and the other one on the right leg.
@@Arthas2523 I guess it's true it's just that in this case it seemed so straightforward with that statement that it didn't even occur to me that it could be misinterpreted
@@Arthas2523They basically hurt them in the exact same spots to deliberately confuse us from telling who was who. But overall, nice and heart-breaking at the same time
the book says that this fight was immortalized in legends as an epic duel between two close brothers, who proclaimed their love for one another with their dying breaths. It then says that this was most likely not how it really happened, and that it was probably actually a bitter tooth and nail fight, where one became fatally wounded but still chose to shank his opponent with his dagger out of spite. I really like how the show rejected the cynicism of the book and went even harder in the "Shakespearean tragedy" direction by having Erryk win, only to choose to fall on his sword.
I mean to be fair, I don't know that they give full Credence to the tooth and nail bloody brawl either, because that account comes from mushroom, who was Rhaneras fool, his accounts are usually mentioned but not given much credence, because he's a horny dwarf who's insane, I do agree with you though, I also find that it's kind of a mix of both interpretations, because it starts as a sword fight where brothers are evenly matched, and devolves into an out-and-out brawl
To the people that are confused as to who died first: the twin who says you parted us was Arryk. Remember, they swore oaths. They were to remain at the castle with Aegon as they swore fealty to the king. The one who commits suicide is Eryk
@@lovablemidnightstar “That is Erryk at the end, who’s the last survivor, who falls,” Condal said, making sure to confirm for us he meant Ser Erryk and not Ser Arryk.
@TheEscMoon no, it's arryk, erryk had his right knee slashed at the beginning and the one that got stuck in the torso had a right knee slash, which make arryk the one at the end who killed himself
Can we all just take a second to praise how badass and amazing Erryk was this ep?? Stepping in to save Rhaenyra twice, not a second thought even though it was his brother trying to kill her? He done his job and then some. He gave everything he had to make sure Rhaenyra was safe, that was his top priority. It was only after he knew she was safe that he ended it due to the guilt, a true Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Hats off to Elliot and Luke Tittensor (Erryk and Arryk) and Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra) for some phenomenal acting during the scene!
The fact that ser Arryk was forcefully sent to guise as his brother, kill Rhaenyra and potentially get into a fight on an empty stomach... Go to hell Criston Cole
Ser Lorent really 'spedrun' through his armour. My man came in with nothing but his sword in hand after what, two minutes after being dismissed from his post?
The Line "Where is duty, where is sacrifice?" comes to mind watching these two. They loved each otehr but their duty and king's guard was stronger they didnt hesitate to defend their belief and it's so so sad cause they died for people that wont even care. I loved how they didnt use an epic score for this scene just the sound of sword clashing and despair from everyone in that room.
Двое отличных рыцарей погибли, а урод Коль продолжает сношать Алисенту. Эта серия заставила меня ненавидеть Коля ещё сильнее, настолько мерзкого и бесчестного рыцаря трудно себе представить
Me and my brother watched this scene together, We gave each other a look after as to say “you die I die”. This scene ran true when it comes to brothers. Made me emotional without any background music or any big emotional aftermath of their deaths. Just left me feeling abit shaken. Well done HotD. ❤😢
I just have to say it: I´d rather eat pork sausages with Ramsay Bolton than be around Criston Cole for more than a second. That guy ... everything about him pisses me off so much
I really don't like how the show adapted Criston Cole. In the book, he was just as vile but he was also a great warrior, a competent military commander and a very seasoned political player. The show stripped those dimensions away from him and he's very one dimensional now as the result.
This is episode is easily close to peak Got. Some fans just didn't wanna admit it. The dialogues & conversations & acting in this episode is some next level thing. And this tragedy to top it off.
He said “your grace” that’s an indicator of which brother was which. Also, one brother(A) has a clean part in his hair and the other(E) one has a slightly thinning hairline. The shots of their faces while they fight are cut off at the hairline.
No if you see closely, the protector was killed. It was the assassin who said "your grace". Makes sense coz earlier in the episode he talked of how his brother and him had one soul- even when the Assassin brother enters he says "believe, I don't wanna do this" or smth. It's the assassin who realised what he's done and kills himself
@@megha9789he told the other guy as he choked him that “YOU PARTED US” which would indicate he stayed with the greens and his brother went to the blacks. Pretty sure the protector won and then killed himself.
@@megha9789 Yeah the assassin slashed the protector's right leg. Later, the assassin is being choked and digs his fingers into the cut to get the protector off. The protector is then stabbed through the torso and so it's the assassin who decides to kill himself instead of finishing the job. Shows that the brothers didn't really care as much about the conflict, only honor and duty. Which they both upheld until the very end. This was the only outcome where both get to keep their honor as Kingsguard.
I like that it's difficult for the audience to distinguish at a glance which is which. It's amazing symbolism for what the Dance is: a family tearing itself apart. It ties in with Viserys' obsession with family cohesion and love.
It is wild to me that there is any debate over which twin killed who when it is clearly demonstrated by a single line of dialogue: “We were born together. You parted us!” This line makes no sense coming from Erryk. It is he who fled King’s Landing to join up with the opposing side. Erryk left, not Arryk. Erryk gets free during the struggle, Arryk moves toward him after recovering and is impaled on Erryk’s sword. Erryk, in his grief, apologises to his Queen before killing himself.
We get banger after banger each episode, talk about fantastic pacing. The "Rat catchers" and the "Twin battle" were absolute highlights in the books, that they include both in the first two episodes surprises me. At this rate they would be aiming for three seasons, maybe four. I love it
The fact everyone’s arguing who killed who is hilarious to me. The whole point was that it was supposed to be ambiguous who was who. Not even the characters knew, and it’s a moot point, they both died.
It definitely isn't that but it really was a memorable minor character death like when Yoren died trying to fight off the Lannister soldiers or Luwin stabbed by the Ironborn. I feel people forget how impactful Ned being decapitated was. Killing off your main character in the first season was unheard of and it was one of the major reasons why GoT became the cultural zeitgeist it did.
Ngl I absolutely loathed Criston when I read Fire and Blood,but Fabien has somehow made him even more despicable in HoTD God I want Caraxes to turn him into a chew toy 😂
Would have been a fitting end for him for sure but if I remember rightly spoiler alert, he’s shot full of arrows is he not? Definitely one thing I’d love them to change in the show though
@@Jamesmac95 Spoiler alert You're right,but like you said I feel like they've made him extra dislikable with the whole Alicent hookup / killing a member of the small council / projecting all his failures onto others. Defo seems like he's gonna go out in an extra way,and I am so here for it.
@@Spadzz98 spoiler alert I swear in the book they said he cut the guys throat or threw him out the window so him killing the council member is in line with the book they made it more like an accident if anything, but yeah the whole alicent thing is just for the show but gives both characters more depth and the way they make him project his own self hatred on others is fantastic writing, I hope they do make his death more climactic and I’m here for it too lol who knows how it will pan out in the show that’s what makes the show so interesting from a book readers POV Some things will change and hopefully for the better!
@@Jamesmac95since it’s already happened I won’t say spoiler alert. Yes in the book it wasn’t even an accident like how it was in the show where he was just trying to make Beesbury sit back down. In the book Cole just draws a dagger and cuts his throat
@@Jamesmac95 I actually think that's a fitting ending **SPOILERS** One of Criston's main obsessions (in both show and book) is to be seen as this honorable knight. By refusing him the heroic ending that he so clearly craves (he challenges the leaders of that army to a 1v3 fight) you take that away from him and he dies unremarkable. There's a reason the final quote they say is "No songs will be written about you"
"They belonged to Criston Cole, who served the first Viserys and the second Aegon." Jaime closed the White Book. "They called him Kingmaker." - AFFC - JAIME II
I think it was Erryk who killed Arryk then himself. They both slashed each other on the leg. Ser Erryk wounded first at 1:53 and Ser Arryk wounded at 2:17
Arryk last words of “I still love you brother” is no doubt one of the many factors that played on Ser Erryk taking his own life. Haunting words to remember, and more haunting to live with.
This was so hard to watch. I also love how intense and heavy their swings were vs other fight scene or GOT. To me it really emphasizes how much these two set themselves apart in shear strength and experience.
Monarchs would refer to their people as subjects, but this episode would reveal that they are treated as mere objects - pawns to a chess match played by incompetent masters.
When I tell you I felt emotional when luk died I felt emotional I didn’t cry but this right here broke my heart because neither of them despite the sides they were on were bad. They just felt differently about each side and was loyal to their sides. Unfortunately this was the ending💔💔💔
For those who are confused about who is who: Erryk was the one who said that they were born together while Arryk said that he parted them, Highlighting to Erryk joining the blacks. So Erryk killed Arryk and then himself.
After rewatching multiple times: I think it was Arryk(Greens) who "won" the duel against Erryk(Blacks). Erryk was cut on his right leg, Arryk was cut on his left. Arryk(Greens) dug into Erryk's right leg wound to free himself from the choke hold. Erryk(Blacks) recovered after falling, picked up his sword, went to attack Arryk(Greens), and then was killed by a thrust by Arryk.
And you can see Erryk's last move is to raise his sword, and Arryk stabbed him. Also, Arrick is the one with the back towards the wall from when he dug his hand in Erryk's wound until they get up for the final blow. Anyone can say Erryk won, but what the editing and the filmmaking is showing us is that Arryk was the one who killed his brother. Then sadly took his own life, realizing this pointless war made him kill his own twin. Part of him he couldn't live knowing how far he went and why he's no longer of this world. Anyways, cheers from France! 🍻
What the filmmaking shows us is that Erryk won. After they both collapse on the floor, Erryk stands up facing the table as Arryk circles around having it now behind him. Then they fight and Erryk cuts Arryk and pushes him on the table. Arryk pushes back and then after a short struggle, pushes Erryk towards the wall. Arryk gets pushed back and gets stabbed after standing up. The scene would make no sense if Arryk was the one who lived. Why would he even call Rhaenyra "Your Grace" after just killing his brother out of his loyalty to Aegon? And earlier, why would Erryk accuse Arryk of parting when he was the one to do it?
@@Jericho2488 I'm not (although I'm not sure now which one gets pushed on the table, they do some trick shots there to confuse you). It was officially confirmed by the showrunner and the actors that Erryk was the last one standing. Also, in the BTS for the episode the choreographer explained that wounds are not a clue because they both receive the same ones. He even specifically pointed out Erryk's leg wound and how it won't tell you the truth.
Ser Erryk Cargyll: Took the crown from the usurpers und brought it the rightful heir to the seven kingdoms. Stayd loyal and kept his oath. Died protecting his queen.
It was Arryk who killed Erryk. Him turning to Rhaenyra asking for forgiveness is a reference to the source when he prayed and ask for forgiveness before setting out on his mission. On a more obvious note, Erryk got hit on the leg and punched on the right side of his head. You can see that the brother who got stabbed had a bloody upper right part of his head.
@@Tgodson69 that's horrible blocking if that's the case. Do you have a link to that article about the show runners confirming it? Because I've only read one article so far and the reasoning was simple because he called the queen "your grace."
You got it backwards bud. Believe me lol, I couldn’t keep up either. But if you read what the script writers say it was Erryk that killed Arryk, then took his own life
Imagine he says "your grace, forgive me!" and stabs himself with a spring loaded dagger and falls. Rhaenyra runs towards him shouting "NOOOoooOOo!!!" and he stands up and beheads her, revealing he was indeed the Imposter and not the Crewmate.
The one with a wound on his right thigh is Erryk (Rhaenyra King's Guard) Arryk (Aegon's King's Guard) killed himself after being overcome by grief after killing his brother. "Forgive me" is directed to his brother, and for attempting to assassinate her.
Well for one thing, the showrunners said that arryk (the assassin) was the one that died and for two, the wounds are more than likely a continuity error, because the words "we were born together, you parted us"only really make sense coming from arryk, because Eric is the one who chose to leave King's landing, therefore he would be the one who parted them, even if the wounds are inconsistent (which can happen sometimes, I think it was intentionally confusing so that the audience could sit there and wonder who won, but the showrunners confirmed that the brother who was trying to protect his Queen was the one who won the fight)
Ser Erryk was a man of strength and honor killing your twin brother to save the rightful Queen and he ask forgiveness before ending his life cause he couldn't live knowing what he had done
You know when I frist watch these I was hoping lord commander Westerling would appear to save her, and know that isn't what happened in the books but come on it would have been awesome.
I genuinely don’t understand why people are complaining about this season being “slow”. Why? Because dragons aren’t fighting in big cgi battles? The past two episodes have been nuts.
These last two episodes have been the best thing in tv right now maybe followed by the boys, fuck the acolyte though man, we get hour and a half episodes on max but Disney can't be bothered to have an episode past 25 minutes? Gross 🤮
No one will probably read this comment but i think those who say arryk won are right, asides of the injury on erryks leg there is the fact despite them being twins erryk (Elliot tittensor) has fuller sideburna than his brother arryk ( Luke tittensor) and if you've seen pictures of them luke is a bit shorter than his Elliot, so can see it in the end when he looks at rhaenyra he's sideburns aren't as full as erryks, also i think i might have misspelled the actors last name, (never mind I've corrected😅)
I think it's sir arryk who got killed just the way he said the dialogue "We were both together you parted us" Remember in the episode were they try to recover aegon in the sept but when erryk abandoned him?
rhaneyra twin gets sliced in the right thigh at the beginning. so he actually is the one that gets stabbed and dies at the by the brother at the end. The one coming to assisinate rhaenyra kills himself, perhaps he switched allegiance, perhaps he wanted to take the easy way out having been caught out, perhaps he was apologizing for the assasination or maybe any combination of the three, we will never know. Brilliant writing IMO
I won't refute that the wounds are the way that they are, but the wounds are not what we should be looking at, because in TV shows continuity errors are bound to happen, end of the murdered twin says something that would only make sense for aryk to say "you parted us" eryk left King's landing with viserys' crown, therefore he willingly made the choice to separate himself from his brother by going against aegon, and I don't think it makes sense for the survivor to refer to Rhaenyras as " your grace"because if he was the surviving twin he would likely be cursing her name because ( from his point of view) she caused the schism that made this fight happen, even if he decided not to kill her, he wouldn't call her your grace
Arryk killed erryk. Erryk has a right leg wound, arryk has left leg. When Arryk digs into Erryk's wound, Erryk falls towards Rhaenyra. Erryk then crawls and picks up a sword and swings at arryk but gets stabbed.
Please stop paying attention to the leg wounds and pay attention to the dialogue, who gets wounded in what scene can be inconsistent, but considering this fight started with aryk ( green supporter) proclaiming that his brother was the traitor, and ends with the murdered twin making the statement that "you parted us"it only makes sense that the one trying to protect his Queen was the one who survived, the wounds may be inconsistent but the dialogue makes it clear, that arryk died first ( because eryk was the one who left King's landing and therefore would be doing The parting)
The behind the scenes directors said that they will not say who won, both received identical wounds intentionally so the audience also couldn't tell who wins. One thing is true, whoever won couldn't live with the thought that they killed their twin brother.
Both Arryk and Erryk were more honorable than the false knight, “Ser” Criston Cole, could ever be.
To be fair Rhaenyra chose him personally. I despised him even then.
@@Blaz_-te2ku Sorry I hope this doesn't sound rude(not my intent) but what does Rhaenyra personally choosing Cole have to do with his own honor?

Both of the them deserve their cloak, each loyal to their own cause
This is something the audience will never understand but in the book its made clear that the two brothers are leal to their respective leaders regardless of the cause... and that's the point, the tragedy, brothers killing brothers for a war they didn't even started due to the violence inherent in the system.

The order came from Criston, not Aegon who didnt know about it until later (and Arryk followed because he was scared of getting the blame for the killing of the prince) and Rhaenyra is a member of the royal family. Thats a double offense.
@@SpetalskBKHSBS Aegon appointed Criston to be Hand of the King shortly after the twin's assignment, so it's safe to assume the King would have happily approved the assignment if he'd known about it earlier
A twin is more special than a regular sibling
like Cersei and Jaime.
not really, brother is brother
Yes it is, George gets it right how a lot of these twins feel. You are 1 soul, as they say in this episode. You have someone who has shared the exact same experiences with you and someone you can confide in. A twin is much different as I have come to learn with mine
@@WBSlashH Are you a spiritual master to descern if twin borns are one soul? You have only material knowledge but dont understand the nature of things, much less the nature of soul. If you understand the soul that means you understand God and such persons are the most rare to find. Stop joking.
@@Azubjourni okay
the way he cried forgive me is the saddest scene of the episode
Yup, apologizing that he can't protect her anymore cause he can't go on living after he killed his brother.
The little whimpers from Rhaenyra at the end really solidified the scene imo
She knew them all her life. They joined at the age of ten. It was personal for her.

No, Raenyera`s mom death was terrible! and the funeral! Christ...I still cry watching the scenes...
@taniagomes5210 i disagree. In universe, its sad. But we as viewers didnt really see anything from them, whilst we knew who the twins were
To those wondering why they just didn’t fight, they are supposed to be the antithesis to Sr Crispin and cherish their honor and duty above all. The opposing force of brotherly love while the second most important thing to them was not enough the besmirch their honor. It’s such a heartbreaking scene.
This fucking season will make me cryiiing every chapter 😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
excellent show. 9.5/10
Considering how it will all end...
The series will reveal things that aren't stated in the "history book"
I found this episode to be hit and miss. Every scene was well done, and the Otto or Rhaenyra scenes were spectacular. But I thought it jumped about too much, especially with the unnecessary Aemond and Hugh Hammer scenes. Save that for next episode.
@@Wallace43266 Yeah the pacing is uneven and the editing is jagged
Ohh god .... I was crying when he said "forgive me, your grace" !
It doesn't matter who was who, they both lost, torn apart by the ambitions of their "betters."

Arryk came to Erryk with a Sword, he got the right to defend himself
80 years from this moment, Ser Duncan the Tall would wander Westeros. How can a simple hedge knight be more honorable and deserving of the white cloak than the vile creature named Cole?
Because Duncan always remembers his vows: defend the innocent.
if it's any consolation cole will earn his just reward in the butchers ball
Kinda the whole point of asoiaf, innit? Blood doesn't mean too much in the end, less it's black magic shit
Because they butchered Cole's character. He's supposed to represent bits of both the best and worst kings guard, as Jaime says in the book. But Ryan hates him like D&D hated Stannis, so will continue to ruin his character until everyone cheers for his death.
Except this is how events actually played out, by Martin’s own words, and are not told through the bias of a maester compiling already biased sources. A maester we KNOW why biased against Rhaenyra from the start
I don't understand why everyone is looking at the wounds to determine who died first, the twin that dies is the one who says "you parted us", meaning he is the one who stayed with the greens (arryk)
Agreed and they both wounded each other in the leg. Erryk wounded first and Arryk wounded shortly after. You can even see the blood on his pants leg where he was cut when he apologies if you look toward the area.
Because words can be (mis)interpreted, while wounds, as long as the show respects continuity, are visual facts. Besides, notice how one gets hurt on the left leg and the other one on the right leg.
They actually said in the behind the scenes that looking at their wounds is pointless because they gave each other the same wounds.
@@Arthas2523 I guess it's true it's just that in this case it seemed so straightforward with that statement that it didn't even occur to me that it could be misinterpreted
@@Arthas2523They basically hurt them in the exact same spots to deliberately confuse us from telling who was who. But overall, nice and heart-breaking at the same time
the book says that this fight was immortalized in legends as an epic duel between two close brothers, who proclaimed their love for one another with their dying breaths. It then says that this was most likely not how it really happened, and that it was probably actually a bitter tooth and nail fight, where one became fatally wounded but still chose to shank his opponent with his dagger out of spite. I really like how the show rejected the cynicism of the book and went even harder in the "Shakespearean tragedy" direction by having Erryk win, only to choose to fall on his sword.
I mean to be fair, I don't know that they give full Credence to the tooth and nail bloody brawl either, because that account comes from mushroom, who was Rhaneras fool, his accounts are usually mentioned but not given much credence, because he's a horny dwarf who's insane, I do agree with you though, I also find that it's kind of a mix of both interpretations, because it starts as a sword fight where brothers are evenly matched, and devolves into an out-and-out brawl
One of the best scenes so far.. This made me feel like I was watching GoT for the 1st time again, bravo
To the people that are confused as to who died first: the twin who says you parted us was Arryk. Remember, they swore oaths. They were to remain at the castle with Aegon as they swore fealty to the king. The one who commits suicide is Eryk
No ,it arryk who killed himself, so back and watch the knee wound
@@lovablemidnightstar “That is Erryk at the end, who’s the last survivor, who falls,” Condal said, making sure to confirm for us he meant Ser Erryk and not Ser Arryk.

@@lovablemidnightstar i thougth the same, and im team black. But condal says that Erryk killed himself
Can we all just take a second to praise how badass and amazing Erryk was this ep?? Stepping in to save Rhaenyra twice, not a second thought even though it was his brother trying to kill her? He done his job and then some. He gave everything he had to make sure Rhaenyra was safe, that was his top priority. It was only after he knew she was safe that he ended it due to the guilt, a true Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Hats off to Elliot and Luke Tittensor (Erryk and Arryk) and Emma D'Arcy (Rhaenyra) for some phenomenal acting during the scene!
The fact that ser Arryk was forcefully sent to guise as his brother, kill Rhaenyra and potentially get into a fight on an empty stomach... Go to hell Criston Cole
😂🤣😂🤣 true, he didn't even have the courtesy of letting him finish his fucking meal 🤦🏻
The way he ended his life, I just love it powerful scene can't wait for next episodes.
They did this scene great, the twins definitely one of my favorite parts of the episode.
this was the realest sword fight i ever seen great job by director
Ser Lorent really 'spedrun' through his armour. My man came in with nothing but his sword in hand after what, two minutes after being dismissed from his post?
He was tired 😅

"That was fucked up." Exact words I just used to describe this scene, holy.
The Line "Where is duty, where is sacrifice?" comes to mind watching these two. They loved each otehr but their duty and king's guard was stronger they didnt hesitate to defend their belief and it's so so sad cause they died for people that wont even care.
I loved how they didnt use an epic score for this scene just the sound of sword clashing and despair from everyone in that room.

Cole is a false knight. Erryk and Arryk's beards have more honor than Criston Cole. Cant wait for him to be unalive.
Me and my brother watched this scene together, We gave each other a look after as to say “you die I die”. This scene ran true when it comes to brothers. Made me emotional without any background music or any big emotional aftermath of their deaths. Just left me feeling abit shaken. Well done HotD. ❤😢
I just have to say it: I´d rather eat pork sausages with Ramsay Bolton than be around Criston Cole for more than a second.
That guy ... everything about him pisses me off so much
I wouldn’t go that far, Ramsay was a different breed unlike Krispin he would do it himself that’s the only thing I can say about Ramsay
I really don't like how the show adapted Criston Cole. In the book, he was just as vile but he was also a great warrior, a competent military commander and a very seasoned political player. The show stripped those dimensions away from him and he's very one dimensional now as the result.
My god they’re absolutely cooking with this new season, I don’t understand any of the criticism so far 😭
I can get why some book readers didn't like Blood and Cheese but the Cargyll duel (as was this whole episode) was pure art.
It would be very hard to mess this one up. It’s so simple but elegant at the same time. Two brothers fighting

This is what happens to good and honourable men in the world of GOT.
He said “your grace” that’s an indicator of which brother was which. Also, one brother(A) has a clean part in his hair and the other(E) one has a slightly thinning hairline. The shots of their faces while they fight are cut off at the hairline.
Actually it blurs the lines. Maybe green bro had second thoughts when he realized what he has done.
No if you see closely, the protector was killed. It was the assassin who said "your grace". Makes sense coz earlier in the episode he talked of how his brother and him had one soul- even when the Assassin brother enters he says "believe, I don't wanna do this" or smth. It's the assassin who realised what he's done and kills himself
@@megha9789he told the other guy as he choked him that “YOU PARTED US” which would indicate he stayed with the greens and his brother went to the blacks. Pretty sure the protector won and then killed himself.
@@megha9789 Yeah the assassin slashed the protector's right leg. Later, the assassin is being choked and digs his fingers into the cut to get the protector off. The protector is then stabbed through the torso and so it's the assassin who decides to kill himself instead of finishing the job. Shows that the brothers didn't really care as much about the conflict, only honor and duty. Which they both upheld until the very end. This was the only outcome where both get to keep their honor as Kingsguard.
Arryk , the assassin brother won but he regretted killing his brother and siding with the Greens so he killed himself . Arryk killed Erryk
I like that it's difficult for the audience to distinguish at a glance which is which. It's amazing symbolism for what the Dance is: a family tearing itself apart. It ties in with Viserys' obsession with family cohesion and love.
It is wild to me that there is any debate over which twin killed who when it is clearly demonstrated by a single line of dialogue:
“We were born together. You parted us!”
This line makes no sense coming from Erryk. It is he who fled King’s Landing to join up with the opposing side. Erryk left, not Arryk.
Erryk gets free during the struggle, Arryk moves toward him after recovering and is impaled on Erryk’s sword. Erryk, in his grief, apologises to his Queen before killing himself.
We get banger after banger each episode, talk about fantastic pacing.
The "Rat catchers" and the "Twin battle" were absolute highlights in the books, that they include both in the first two episodes surprises me.
At this rate they would be aiming for three seasons, maybe four.
I love it
The fact everyone’s arguing who killed who is hilarious to me. The whole point was that it was supposed to be ambiguous who was who. Not even the characters knew, and it’s a moot point, they both died.
Ah! I loved these guys.
This felt like the first blow that they gave us in Game of thrones when NED was decapitated
It definitely isn't that but it really was a memorable minor character death like when Yoren died trying to fight off the Lannister soldiers or Luwin stabbed by the Ironborn.
I feel people forget how impactful Ned being decapitated was. Killing off your main character in the first season was unheard of and it was one of the major reasons why GoT became the cultural zeitgeist it did.
@@unc54 yeah you're right in that one
Not only another incredible scene, but the lighting, the choreography and the acting is really peak.

Defo seems like he's gonna go out in an extra way,and I am so here for it.
@@Spadzz98 spoiler alert
I swear in the book they said he cut the guys throat or threw him out the window so him killing the council member is in line with the book they made it more like an accident if anything, but yeah the whole alicent thing is just for the show but gives both characters more depth and the way they make him project his own self hatred on others is fantastic writing, I hope they do make his death more climactic and I’m here for it too lol who knows how it will pan out in the show that’s what makes the show so interesting from a book readers POV Some things will change and hopefully for the better!
@@Jamesmac95since it’s already happened I won’t say spoiler alert. Yes in the book it wasn’t even an accident like how it was in the show where he was just trying to make Beesbury sit back down. In the book Cole just draws a dagger and cuts his throat
@@Jamesmac95 I actually think that's a fitting ending
**SPOILERS**
One of Criston's main obsessions (in both show and book) is to be seen as this honorable knight. By refusing him the heroic ending that he so clearly craves (he challenges the leaders of that army to a 1v3 fight) you take that away from him and he dies unremarkable. There's a reason the final quote they say is "No songs will be written about you"
Rhaenyra suffers so much loss in a very short span of time. 😢😢😢
This will eclipse whatever the hell the acolyte’s twin shit is gonna give us and is giving us right now.
I would've said yes before that fifth episode, but DAMN, that fifth episode FUCKING ROCKED!!!!
I will never forgive that scumbag Criston Cole for this. This just broke my heart. Rest well Cargyll Brothers Erryk & Arryk💚🖤
scene had me feeling very emotional
"They belonged to Criston Cole, who served the first Viserys and the second Aegon."
Jaime closed the White Book. "They called him Kingmaker." - AFFC - JAIME II
One word for this scene "sentimental". 🥺😭
The twin that died first was Rhaenyra’s protector. The slash on the leg that the assassin grabs is what gives it away.
Wrong read the script homie. But it looks shot that way the show runners have confirmed Erryk(protector) lived and killed Arryk (assassin)
@@Tgodson69 okay, if you have to read the script and ask the showrunners in order to understand, you need to reshoot it.
I think it was Erryk who killed Arryk then himself. They both slashed each other on the leg. Ser Erryk wounded first at 1:53 and Ser Arryk wounded at 2:17
In the book it was Arryk who dies first too. Erryk doesn't kill himself in the book though, he dies from his wounds days later.
@@malekithsilverheart2357
Bro it’s obvious who got killed, don’t blame the screenwriters cause your eyes don’t work.
Arryk last words of “I still love you brother” is no doubt one of the many factors that played on Ser Erryk taking his own life. Haunting words to remember, and more haunting to live with.
This was epic asf the first time I saw it. Brutal.
This was so hard to watch. I also love how intense and heavy their swings were vs other fight scene or GOT. To me it really emphasizes how much these two set themselves apart in shear strength and experience.
The clanging of the swords and the sounds are amazing
The entire episode was amazing with the acting.
Monarchs would refer to their people as subjects, but this episode would reveal that they are treated as mere objects - pawns to a chess match played by incompetent masters.
When I tell you I felt emotional when luk died I felt emotional I didn’t cry but this right here broke my heart because neither of them despite the sides they were on were bad. They just felt differently about each side and was loyal to their sides. Unfortunately this was the ending💔💔💔
For those who are confused about who is who: Erryk was the one who said that they were born together while Arryk said that he parted them, Highlighting to Erryk joining the blacks. So Erryk killed Arryk and then himself.
After rewatching multiple times: I think it was Arryk(Greens) who "won" the duel against Erryk(Blacks). Erryk was cut on his right leg, Arryk was cut on his left. Arryk(Greens) dug into Erryk's right leg wound to free himself from the choke hold. Erryk(Blacks) recovered after falling, picked up his sword, went to attack Arryk(Greens), and then was killed by a thrust by Arryk.
And you can see Erryk's last move is to raise his sword, and Arryk stabbed him.
Also, Arrick is the one with the back towards the wall from when he dug his hand in Erryk's wound until they get up for the final blow.
Anyone can say Erryk won, but what the editing and the filmmaking is showing us is that Arryk was the one who killed his brother. Then sadly took his own life, realizing this pointless war made him kill his own twin. Part of him he couldn't live knowing how far he went and why he's no longer of this world.
Anyways, cheers from France! 🍻
@@DarthWinterMadnessexactly how I interpreted! Bonjour!🫡
What the filmmaking shows us is that Erryk won. After they both collapse on the floor, Erryk stands up facing the table as Arryk circles around having it now behind him. Then they fight and Erryk cuts Arryk and pushes him on the table. Arryk pushes back and then after a short struggle, pushes Erryk towards the wall. Arryk gets pushed back and gets stabbed after standing up. The scene would make no sense if Arryk was the one who lived. Why would he even call Rhaenyra "Your Grace" after just killing his brother out of his loyalty to Aegon? And earlier, why would Erryk accuse Arryk of parting when he was the one to do it?
@@MatiZ815 sorry but you’re wrong.
@@Jericho2488 I'm not (although I'm not sure now which one gets pushed on the table, they do some trick shots there to confuse you). It was officially confirmed by the showrunner and the actors that Erryk was the last one standing. Also, in the BTS for the episode the choreographer explained that wounds are not a clue because they both receive the same ones. He even specifically pointed out Erryk's leg wound and how it won't tell you the truth.
Ser Erryk Cargyll: Took the crown from the usurpers und brought it the rightful heir to the seven kingdoms. Stayd loyal and kept his oath. Died protecting his queen.
It was Arryk who killed Erryk. Him turning to Rhaenyra asking for forgiveness is a reference to the source when he prayed and ask for forgiveness before setting out on his mission.
On a more obvious note, Erryk got hit on the leg and punched on the right side of his head. You can see that the brother who got stabbed had a bloody upper right part of his head.
Wrong read the script homie. But it looks shot that way the show runners have confirmed Erryk(protector) lived and killed Arryk (assassin)
@@Tgodson69 that's horrible blocking if that's the case. Do you have a link to that article about the show runners confirming it? Because I've only read one article so far and the reasoning was simple because he called the queen "your grace."
@@Tgodson69 source: trust me bro
Yeah Arryk won but he could have killed Erryk at 1:56 too
You got it backwards bud. Believe me lol, I couldn’t keep up either. But if you read what the script writers say it was Erryk that killed Arryk, then took his own life
The saddest part of this for me was what looked like the "embrace" between the two. Even in the midst of everything.
Imagine he says "your grace, forgive me!" and stabs himself with a spring loaded dagger and falls. Rhaenyra runs towards him shouting "NOOOoooOOo!!!" and he stands up and beheads her, revealing he was indeed the Imposter and not the Crewmate.
I was finding this "twins on different sides of a war very engaging". Well, so much for that, i think.
When a war causes 2 loving twins to take up arms against each other and cut each other down, you know that no matter how it ends, it wasn't worth it.
The one with a wound on his right thigh is Erryk (Rhaenyra King's Guard)
Arryk (Aegon's King's Guard) killed himself after being overcome by grief after killing his brother.
"Forgive me" is directed to his brother, and for attempting to assassinate her.
Well for one thing, the showrunners said that arryk (the assassin) was the one that died and for two, the wounds are more than likely a continuity error, because the words "we were born together, you parted us"only really make sense coming from arryk, because Eric is the one who chose to leave King's landing, therefore he would be the one who parted them, even if the wounds are inconsistent (which can happen sometimes, I think it was intentionally confusing so that the audience could sit there and wonder who won, but the showrunners confirmed that the brother who was trying to protect his Queen was the one who won the fight)
Ser Erryk was a man of strength and honor killing your twin brother to save the rightful Queen and he ask forgiveness before ending his life cause he couldn't live knowing what he had done
I know the two had a huge fight but can we imagine Daemon's reaction to learning that someone tried to kill Rhaenyra
You know when I frist watch these I was hoping lord commander Westerling would appear to save her, and know that isn't what happened in the books but come on it would have been awesome.
What an amazing show
This episode was one of the best episode in the entire series
2 brothers. In a van. And then a meteor hits! And then they ran as fast as they could. From giant cat monsters.
It was so sad men.... 2 brothers... the pain, i don t even have a borther and was so sad... 2 man of honor
The acting is phenomenal 😢❤
I genuinely don’t understand why people are complaining about this season being “slow”. Why? Because dragons aren’t fighting in big cgi battles? The past two episodes have been nuts.
These last two episodes have been the best thing in tv right now maybe followed by the boys, fuck the acolyte though man, we get hour and a half episodes on max but Disney can't be bothered to have an episode past 25 minutes? Gross 🤮
No one will probably read this comment but i think those who say arryk won are right, asides of the injury on erryks leg there is the fact despite them being twins erryk (Elliot tittensor) has fuller sideburna than his brother arryk ( Luke tittensor) and if you've seen pictures of them luke is a bit shorter than his Elliot, so can see it in the end when he looks at rhaenyra he's sideburns aren't as full as erryks, also i think i might have misspelled the actors last name, (never mind I've corrected😅)
its cannon that Erryk won hey say it in the behind the scenes, they made it confusing on purpose
We had the house hound, brothers fight now this lol😂😂😂. Glegane
“I love you, brother”, “And I you, brother”, and both Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk, drew their swords.
I think it's sir arryk who got killed just the way he said the dialogue
"We were both together you parted us"
Remember in the episode were they try to recover aegon in the sept but when erryk abandoned him?
It's Carl from Shameless
the best CGI, I've ever seen. 😂
I was expecting some kickass music for this scene but I think no music is perfect for this moment.
rhaneyra twin gets sliced in the right thigh at the beginning. so he actually is the one that gets stabbed and dies at the by the brother at the end. The one coming to assisinate rhaenyra kills himself, perhaps he switched allegiance, perhaps he wanted to take the easy way out having been caught out, perhaps he was apologizing for the assasination or maybe any combination of the three, we will never know. Brilliant writing IMO
I won't refute that the wounds are the way that they are, but the wounds are not what we should be looking at, because in TV shows continuity errors are bound to happen, end of the murdered twin says something that would only make sense for aryk to say "you parted us" eryk left King's landing with viserys' crown, therefore he willingly made the choice to separate himself from his brother by going against aegon, and I don't think it makes sense for the survivor to refer to Rhaenyras as " your grace"because if he was the surviving twin he would likely be cursing her name because ( from his point of view) she caused the schism that made this fight happen, even if he decided not to kill her, he wouldn't call her your grace
Joffrey Baratheon: Vicious and idiotic.
Crispin Cole: Vicious, idiotic, greedy, lewd, irresponsible, and hypocritic.
This feels like something that should have been in a season finale.
Duty is sacrifice. It eclipses all things, even blood. All men of honor must pay its price.
Arryk killed erryk. Erryk has a right leg wound, arryk has left leg. When Arryk digs into Erryk's wound, Erryk falls towards Rhaenyra. Erryk then crawls and picks up a sword and swings at arryk but gets stabbed.
Please stop paying attention to the leg wounds and pay attention to the dialogue, who gets wounded in what scene can be inconsistent, but considering this fight started with aryk ( green supporter) proclaiming that his brother was the traitor, and ends with the murdered twin making the statement that "you parted us"it only makes sense that the one trying to protect his Queen was the one who survived, the wounds may be inconsistent but the dialogue makes it clear, that arryk died first ( because eryk was the one who left King's landing and therefore would be doing The parting)
Rhaenerya running like a mouse 😅
The behind the scenes directors said that they will not say who won, both received identical wounds intentionally so the audience also couldn't tell who wins.
One thing is true, whoever won couldn't live with the thought that they killed their twin brother.
