Line 16:
* ''[[Death Note]]'' has a variation, where L imprisons and interrogates Misa on completely accurate suspicions that she is the second Kira... unaware that, through a trick of the Note, all of her pertinent memories have been erased. This goes on for a ''month'' before the team convinces him to try something else.
* ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'': This happens to Shu during the first few episodes. Worse, {{spoiler|Abelia is quite aware from the begining that he doesn't know anything but is forced to keep torturing him, on King Hamdo's orders.}}
* Near the end of ''[[Last Exile]]'', [[spoiler:Alex Rowe is given a [[Truth Serum]] by Delphine in order to obtain the information that she needs. It turns out that Alex never entrusted himself with the last piece of the poem, [[Xanatos Gambit|predicting the possiblity of being captured and interrogated.]]
* In ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', Urd, while in Lord of Terror mode, briefly tries to torture Keichii for information about the Ultimate Destruction Program. She quickly learns that all he knows about it is the fact that it exists.
Line 51:
* ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'': Picard refuses to give up the Minos Korva defense plans under truth serum. How? Because he has no idea what they are. His captor, Gul Madred, works it out eventually...and keeps going, switching his focus to simply breaking Picard for its own sake, via "[[Two Plus Torture Makes Five|How many lights do you see]]?"
* ''[[24]]'' had at least two victims, a CTU analyst and the Secretary of Defence's son, who the good guys torture to no avail.
* ''[[Lost]]'': Sayid tortures Sawyer because he and Jack think he stole Shannon's inhalers. Only after shoving sticks of bamboo up under his finger nails for a few agonizing minutes does Sayid learn that {{spoiler|Sawyer never had the inhalers in the first place, and was being so stubborn just so he could get a kiss from Kate.}}
* On ''[[Rookie Blue]]'' Sam is tortured by a criminal who wants to know who killed the criminal's family and why the cops covered it up. Sam knew the guy's family was dead but had no knowledge of the rest. The criminal realizes that Sam probably knows nothing but decides to continue just to make sure.

* Arcee's backstory in ''[[Transformers Prime]]'' involved her being captured by Airachnid, who brutally tortured her in order to gain attack coordinates. When that failed, Airachnid threatened to kill Arcee's partner Tailgate unless Arcee gave her the coordinates. Unfortunately for Arcee, she genuinely didn't know the coordinates, leading to the loss of her partner when Airachnid refused to believe her.
* In ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Party Of One", Spike honestly has no idea what Pinkie wants to know during his interrogation, so simply tells her what she wants to hear. Ironically, he might have known or guessed about the surprise party Pinkie's friends are holding, so if she'd merely asked him what her friends were doing that afternoon, he might have been able to tell her, and avoid all of the [[Enhanced Interrogation Techniques|unpleasantness]].
