The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
Talk to the Alik'r prisoner or Inform the Alik'r of Saadia's location.
1 of 5: Now you need to make a decision on whether or not to help Saadia. If you want to, skip to the next hint. Otherwise, go to Rorikstead (see the Morthal section of the World Map Exploration Guide) and talk to the Alik'r in the inn to get the "Lead Saadia to the Whiterun Stables" objective.
2 of 5: Enter Dragonsreach, then look for the door to the dungeon down some steps a ways to the left of the Jarl's throne.
3 of 5: Go up to the door of the last cell on the dungeon's left side, then wait if necessary for the Alik'r prisoner to walk up to where you can talk to him.
4 of 5: He'll say that he'll help you in exchange for you paying his fine, which is 100 gold.
5 of 5: Talk to any nearby guard to pay the fine, then talk to the prisoner again to get the next objective.
