TV show quote: name the show game

"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I'd look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this. Can you and your associates arrange it for me?"

I cut the original quote short to maintain the mystery. I added back in what I could without completely spilling it..

"I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I'd look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this. Can you and your associates arrange it for me, Mr. _ _ _ _ _ _?"

Hint: The speaker eventually got what they wanted.
