Cut to the road outside the cottage. A group of commoners watches as Dunk and Arlan prepare to leave.
Dunk watches Arlan hand one of the commoners a coin.
Further down the road, Arlan sings.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho
I'll make her my love
and we'll rest in the shade
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho
Come on, Dunk!
Later in the evening, the duo sits under a tree as it rains.
Dunk cuts off a chunk of some food and hands it to Arlan.
They both laugh and eat. Cut to the roadside during the day as the duo spars.
As Dunk hits at Arlan with a hammer, the latter falls backwards into the grass.
Dunk helps Arlan up.
They resume sparring.
Some time later, they continue to ride through the wilderness. Arlan slumps a bit in the saddle as he sings.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho
He pants and comes to a stop. Dunk rides up besides him.
Arlan nods to Dunk before he continues.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho
Dunk watches Arlan ride off.
Cut to a medium shot of Dunk standing in the tournament grounds.

He leaves.
Dunk sees a man next to him leading a horse.
He moves out of the way and overhears some of the castle's servants.
Dunk sees the girl enter the castle through a side door. He looks around for a moment before following inside. He walks through the dingy servant tunnels for a minute before emerging into a larger hallway. He overhears conversation from a hall nearby.
In the hall, a group approaches a large table including Lord Ashford, Plummer, Baelor, and Maekar.
Dunk skulks through the hallway outside to eavesdrop, looking through some carved holes in the wall to see the group inside.
Baelor washes his hands in a bowl held by a servant girl.
Someone behind Dunk shushes him. He turns to see Gwin Ashford.
He nods. She appraises him for a moment.
She puts her hands in his face suddenly, startling him, before she runs off.
Maekar sits down at the table. Dunk inches closer to the entrance.
Maekar catches the edge of Dunk's cloak in the doorway and gets up.
Dunk walks out.
Dunk walks further into the room. Maekar sits back down.
He smiles and glances at Maekar, who makes no response. His smile drops and he turns back to Dunk.
Ser Arlan of Pennytree. He never won a tourney that I know. But he never shamed himself, either.
Dunk says nothing for a moment. Plummer looks at him expectantly.
Baelor goes to sit down.
Maekar laughs. Plummer looks at Dunk, nervous.
Dunk throws himself into a kneeling position before the table.
Dunk rises.
Plummer nods curtly at Dunk.

Cut to the tug of war about to start.

Dunk slides forward in the mud.

He grabs the rope just behind Egg.
The front man on the other team falls into the mud as Dunk, Egg, and Lyonel's team pulls them over the line. They cheer as the crowd swarms around them.
Cut to the tourney grounds later than night. Dunk walks past a torch whirler and finds an armorer's station. He looks at a set of armor before approaching the armorer, Steely Pate.
Pate turns his head. His eyes slowly rise up to Dunk's.

Knights ride around as the crowd gathers. Dunk sees a group of nobles in a viewing gallery opposite the onlookers, including the Targaryens. Baelor, Maekar, Aerion, and Lord Ashford sit in the front row. Medgar Tyrell knight rides up in front of the crowd, holding a fish.
He bites the head off of the fish. Egg cheers along with the crowd. Medgar tosses the fish into the crowd. The starting knights prepare to joust, many shouting over each other for their lances and armor.
Everyone quiets down as the knights take their starting positions.
Lord Ashford grimaces. A man blows a horn. The jousting begins. The crowd cheers as the jousters crash together. Dunk watches nervously. The jousters frantically prepare for their second charges. Egg stops cheering, watching the squires lift lances. He looks down at his own hands.
Dunk lets Egg down. Egg walks to the edge of the fence. As they resume watching, Valarr knocks another knight off his horse. A chaotic chain reaction leads to another knight getting knocked down and frantically hopping onto another passing horse. Images flash in Dunk's mind. He carries Arlan to his grave and watches the rain drench his body.
Egg plays with a sharp stick as a campfire burns.
He stops when he sees Dunk sitting nearby unenthusiastically.
Dunk makes no response.
Do great knights live in the hedges and die by the side of a muddy road? (He scoffs.) I think not. Ser Arlan wasn't gifted with sword or lance, and he drank, and he whored, and he was a hard man to know. He made no friends, either. He lived nigh on sixty years and never was a champion. What chance do I have, truly? But he was good to me. I wasn't his family, but he kept me like we were. He raised me to be an honorable man. And all these noble lords can't even remember his name. His name was Ser Arlan of Pennytree, and I am his legacy. On the morrow, we will show them what his hand has wrought.
