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
Philip 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. Forgive me. I am trapped in my own web.

Queen Elizabeth I
Are you here to tell me I must murder a Queen?
Sir Walter Raleigh

Queen Elizabeth I
Was it my father's duty to murder my mother? She was a Queen, for a time. Oh, I would be loath to die so bloody a death.
