Line 2:
* The Drazens in ''[[Twenty Four]]'' agree to spare Kim Bauer's life in exchange for Jack surrendering himself to them after originally planning to kill them both.
* 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.
* ''[[
{{quote| '''Margaret:''' "I promise you I've changed since we last met, Doctor. There was this girl, just today, a young thing, something of a danger. She was getting too close. I felt the bloodlust rising, just as the family had taught me, I was going to kill her without a thought...and then, I stopped. She's alive somewhere right now, she's walking around this city because I ''can'' change, I '''did''' change. I know I can't prove it--"<br />
'''The Doctor:''' "I believe you."<br />
Line 10:
'''The Doctor:''' "You let one of them go, but that's nothing new. Every now and then a little victim is spared because she smiled, 'cause he's got freckles, 'cause they begged...and that's how you live with yourself. That's how you slaughter millions, because once in a while, on a whim, if the wind's in the right direction, you ''happen'' to be kind." }}
** Played straight in "Journey's End", where {{spoiler|a ''Dalek''}} actually pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]]. {{spoiler|Said Dalek, Dalek Caan, had been exposed to the time vortex and was witness to literally every act the Daleks have and ever would commit. This perspective made him decide that it was time for ''all'' Daleks to die. Note that Caan was actually one of the more "conservative" (read: stubbornly genocidal) members of the Skaro Cult and initially had no hesitation in destroying an entire species}}.
** In the novelisation of "[[Doctor Who
* [[Double the Fist]]. "Eating babies is Unaustralian!"
* In ''[[Dexter]]'', [[Serial Killer]] for Justice Dexter Morgan has a strict code he adheres to driving him to kill only people who have somehow escaped justice. When he confronts a [[Serial Killer]] of children, Dexter states his revulsion for his crimes with the claim, "I have standards."
Line 70:
** Later in the series, his mother Pearl compliments the then-recently-deceased [[Raul Julia]] despite the fact that he was the star of [[Overdrawn At the Memory Bank|the terrible movie]] she was about to inflict upon Mike and the Bots.
* In a two-part episode of the ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The A-Team]]'', the titular team go on a mission to rescue someone from some pirates who were hired by a gangster. Later, the pirates end up teaming up with the A-Team when the gangster turns out to be a Nazi.
* [[The Empire|Terran Federation]] officers in ''[[Blake's Seven
* A ''[[CSI: NY]]'' hitman turns himself in and spills the beans on his client when said client switched targets from a man to a woman. This hitman doesn't do women.
* Omar on ''[[The Wire]]'' is a badass shotgun-wielding terror of the streets, preying on drug dealers and stealing their money. He's very careful, though, to make sure that nobody who's not in the game gets hurt... in other words, civilians and citizens who don't deal drugs. He also brings his grannie to church once a month. Also, when two hitmen try to kill Omar on a Sunday, the Baltimore underworld reacts in uproar. Business is business, but Sundays are sacred.
