Line 118:
* An episode of ''[[Foyle's War]]'' has Foyle confront a businessman who'd been dealing with the Nazis with the fact that, as a result of his dirty dealings, his business empire is crumbling, his son's been arrested for murder, his wife has left him, and his reputation is ruined. He then leaves the businessman and walks outside—and we hear a shot. Foyle's lack of reaction indicates that he expected this.
** In another episode, he offers a gay airman implicated in a murder the chance to fly one last mission in The Battle Of Britain. His plane is shot down. He does not bail out.
** In yet another episode, the guilty party is allowed to accompany his father in their small boat to the Dunkirk evacuation. As is par for the course he conveniently dies in heroic fashion rather than returning to face charges.
* Several episodes of ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'' ended this way.
* In ''[[Star Trek]] : Balance of Terror'' , Captain Kirk doesn't interfere—not that there was any way he could've—when the [[Worthy Opponent]] Romulan captain commits suicide. He simply watches and his reaction is [[What a Senseless Waste of Human Life|What a senseless waste of Romulan life.]]
