* The Drazens in ''[[24]]'' agree to spare Kim Bauer's life in exchange for Jack surrendering himself to them after originally planning to kill them both.
* In ''[[Bull]]'' : ''The Good One'' there is a subversion. One of the son's (Brendon) of a family of Irish mobsters, murders a judge who was about to try his father and than forces (as in with a pistol) his brother, Conor to be his getaway driver.Jason Bull's legal team tries to convince to testify the truth, which was that Conor had never taken part in the family business, planned to be a doctor and was guilty of no more than learning the only good thing about his kin. That is he never was [[Honor Before Reason|willing to testify them even when on trial for his life]].

Of course this is doubly subverted because Brendon pays the [[Laser-Guided Karma|traditional price]] and gets stabbed by a hitter who by chance was in the same prison. Bull in an interesting twist actually suspects the mother, who had given up on Brendon and just wanted Conor free of the life and might have been willing to [[Knight Templar Parent|go to extremes.]]
* In [[Drrt|D!rt]], main character Lucy Spiller has a reputation of being evil incarnate. However, she holds journalistic integrity above all else; she's only interested in the truth, not gossip (no matter how big it may be), and she always protects her sources.
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'' deconstructs this trope in the episode "Boom Town", which features the return of the Slitheen, aliens who had previously appeared in "Aliens of London" and "World War III." This time the only surviving character from those episodes has had herself installed as mayor of Cardiff and is planning to destroy the city to get herself home. However, when she is about to kill a reporter who is getting too close to the truth, she stops when she learns that the intended victim is pregnant. It leads to this exchange between her and the Doctor:
