10 Greatest 'I'm Dead And I Know It' Moments In TV History
3. Olenna Tyrell - Game Of Thrones
“Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.”
Not only did Olenna Tyrell know that she was about to die, she went out like a complete and utter badass when meeting her maker in Game of Thrones' The Queen's Justice episode.
As part of Cersei's unrelenting power play during Thrones' seventh season, the House of Tyrell is brought to its knees and it's down to Jaime Lannister to personally off the Queen of Thorns, Olenna Tyrell.
With him not all that enthusiastic about killing the old, frail Olenna, Jaime compromises by offering Tyrell a quick, pain-free death by poison. After getting reassurances that the poison is both effective and as painless as possible, Dame Diana Rigg's character promptly drinks the sinister potion then reveals that it was she who ordered the death of Joffrey, Jaime's born-out-of-incest son.
Not just does Olenna reveal this to the Kingslayer, she gleefully goes into the specifics of Joffrey's death - having already called him a c**t minutes earlier - while Jaime Lannister has to helplessly watch on. And in one final kicker, Tyrell smugly makes it known how she wants Cersei to be made well aware who was pulling the strings that led to Joffrey's death.
