{{quote|''"When the cold heart of a villain softens and he turns into a good guy, the plot will quickly require him to be killed, usually after maudlin final words."''|[[Roger Ebert]], '''''Deadly Change-of-Heart''', Ebert's Glossary of Movie Terms''}}
The much more vindictive brother of [[Redemption Equals Death]], where you have a villainous character who is beginning to realize that the way of evil is not the way, and is attempting or planning to [[Heel Face Turn|redeem themselves]], but is killed or otherwise brutally rebuffed, either by karma, [[Reformed but Rejected|the heroes]], or even [[You Have Failed Me...|their boss]] (the latter who most often crosses the [[Moral Event Horizon]] in doing so) before they can carry out their plans.
As a result, the character doesn't even get redemption, and they will never throw off the darkness of their past.
