Game of Thrones, Season 5
Cersei Lannister:
I have sinned. I see that now. How could I have been so blind for so long? I want to be clean again. I want absolution. The Crone came to me with her lamp raised high and by its holy light...
High Sparrow:
Do you wish to make a confession?
Cersei Lannister:
Once I've confessed, will I be free?
High Sparrow:
Your Grace will be dealt with according to her sins.
Cersei Lannister:
The Mother have mercy then. I lay with a man outside the bonds of marriage. I confess.
High Sparrow:
Name him.
Cersei Lannister:
Lancel Lannister.
High Sparrow:
Your cousin? And the King's squire?
Cersei Lannister:
I was lonely and afraid.
High Sparrow:
You had a husband.
Cersei Lannister:
A husband off whoring every chance he...
High Sparrow:
His sins do not pardon your own.
Cersei Lannister:
May the Gods forgive me.
High Sparrow:
Other men?
Cersei Lannister:
No.
High Sparrow:
No others.
Cersei Lannister:
No
High Sparrow:
Speaking falsehoods before the Gods is a great crime. You understand this?
Cersei Lannister:
I do.
High Sparrow:
There are those that say your children were not fathered by King Robert. That they are bastards born of incest and adultery.
Cersei Lannister:
A lie. A lie from the lips of Stannis Baratheon. He wants the throne but his brother's children stand in his way, so he claims they are not his brother's. How filth! There is not one shred of truth to it. I deny it.
High Sparrow:
Good. But these are terrible charges, and the Realm must know the truth of them. If your Grace has given honest testimony, your trial will prove your innocence.
Cersei Lannister:
Trial? I have confessed.
High Sparrow:
To a single sin. Others you have denied. Your trial will separate the truths from the falsehoods.
Cersei Lannister:
I bowed to the wisdom of your High Holiness. But if I might beg for just one drop of the Mother's Mercy. I haven't seen my son...I don't know how long it's been. I need to see him please.
High Sparrow:
You have taken the first step on the path back to righteousness. In light of this, I will permit you to return to the Red Keep.
Cersei Lannister:
[Tearfully] Thank you. Thank you.
High Sparrow:
The Mother is merciful. It is her you should thank.
Cersei Lannister:
I will, I will. I swear it day or night.
High Sparrow:
Good.
Cersei Lannister:
Am I free to go?
High Sparrow:
After your atonement.
Cersei Lannister:
My atonement?
