The wolf pup has gone south
with the entirety of the Northern army at his back.
While he's tangling with the lion in the Westerlands,
the North is ripe for the taking.
The ironborn will reave and pillage, as it was in the old days,
all along the northern coast.
We'll spread our dominion across the green lands,
securing the Neck and everything above.
Every stronghold will yield to us, one by one.
Winterfell may defy us for a year, but what of it?
The rest shall be ours,
forest, field, and hall.
Yara, my daughter, you'll take 30 longships
to attack Deepwood Motte.
l've always wanted a castle.
And what's my role in all this?
You'll take a ship to raid the fishing villages on the Stoney Shore.
A ship?
You give her 30 and l get one?
The Sea ***. We thought she'd be perfect for you.
l'm to fight fishermen?
Be careful of their nets.
Father, l fought with Robb Stark. l know his men.
-He won't give up the North so easily. -They won't even know we're there
-until it's too late. -What do you know of it, woman?
l'm a proven warrior.
Your brothers were warriors, both of them dead
at the hands of those you seem so eager to protect.
l'm not protecting anyone.
l just wonder if it's not wiser to wait.
Why risk going against the North if they would be our allies?
Rise up against them and they could destroy us.
But if we pledge fealty to them,
they'll give us Casterly Rock.
What are our words?
Our words?
-We do not sow. -We do not sow.
We are ironborn.
We're not subjects. We're not slaves.
We do not plow the fields or toil in the mine.
We take what is ours.
Your time with the wolves has made you weak.
You act as if l volunteered to go.
You gave me away, if you remember.
The day you bent the knee to Robert Baratheon.
After he crushed you.
Did you take what was yours then?
You gave me away!
Your boy!
Your last boy!
You gave me away like l was some dog you didn't want anymore.
And now you curse me because l've come home.
You'd have our father bow down to your other family?
l have no other family.
Don't you?
Make your choice, Theon, and do it quickly.
Our ships sail with or without you.
