Elizabeth: The Golden Age2007

Sir Francis Walsingham:
Forgive me, Your Majesty, I have failed you.

Queen Elizabeth I:
How have you failed me? What am I to forgive you for?

Sir Francis Walsingham:
Phillip of Spain is a God-fearing man who cannot declare war without a just cause. I intercepted every letter Mary Stuart secretly dispatched, but failed to see Spain knew I was reading them. They waited for her to write the words that in my eyes would confirm her treason.

Sir Francis Walsingham:
[ashamed] Forgive me. I am trapped in my own web.

Queen Elizabeth I:
And I ordered Mary's execution. I murdered God's anointed Queen. And now God's most dutiful son makes Holy War to punish me.
