Line 9:
If the trust is justified, then it's probably directed to the [[Secret Keeper]], [[The Consigliere]], [[The Lancer]] (or [[The Dragon]]) or the [[Only Sane Man]]. When the person you thought you can trust betrays you, it slips into [[Et Tu, Brute?]]. See also [[The Power of Trust]].
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]]
* ''[[Nabari no Ou]]'': Yoite and Miharu have no one else to turn to but each other after betraying Kairoushuu.
{{quote|'''Yoite''': I can only rely on Miharu-}}
** Same with Raikou and Gau, to the point that the two camp out in total isolation for ''two months'' after running away before accidentally being discovered by Raimei. If she hadn't found them, there's no telling how long they would have stayed there.
== [[Film]] ==
* "Help me, Obi-Wan. You're my only hope." Princess Leia's message to Obi-Wan Kenobi, sent via R2-D2 in ''[[Star Wars]]'' ''Episode IV: A New Hope''.
* [[Peter Lorre|Ugarte]]: "You know, [[Humphrey Bogart|Rick]], I have many a friend in [[Casablanca]], but somehow, just because you despise me, you are the only one I trust."
Line 25:
* In the ''Banlieue13'' sequel, when Damien discovers he's been framed for drug dealing by the police department he works for, he promptly grabs a phone and calls Leito for help.
== [[Literature]] ==▼
▲== Literature ==
* Typical in the [[Pony Tale]] genre is that the heroine is The Only One The Horse Can Trust.
* Subverted in ''[[Artemis Fowl]] and the Opal Deception'', when Artemis tells Holly that he'll only be able to break through the mind-wipe by hearing of fairies and the like from the one person he can trust. That person is ''himself''. Luckily, he prepared a recording at the [[Sequel Hook|end of the previous book]].
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** Turns out there IS one person he trusts as much as Harry in book 7: {{spoiler|Severus Snape, as revealed after his death}}.
▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[The X-Files]]'', this is turned [[Up to Eleven]]. One of the taglines for the show is "Trustno1." Mulder and Scully make it clear often that they only trust each other and unfailingly.
* Played straight and subverted numerous times in ''[[24]]'':
Line 43 ⟶ 41:
* When [[Inspector Lynley]]'s wife Helen is {{spoiler|critically injured in a car accident}}, Lynley asks his partner Barbara Havers to stand watch outside her hospital door - and though he takes his anger out on her when she has to, of all things, use the loo, he tells her later that he's terribly sorry, and that she is the only one he trusts to do the job properly.
* In ''[[Due South]]'', Ray Kowalski spends an episode accused of murder. Worse, a concussion clouds his memory, leaving him [[What Have I Done|doubting his own innocence]]. His partner [[The Cape (trope)|Fraser]] refuses to doubt him. Meaning that when Ray can't even trust ''himself'', there's always Fraser.
== [[Video Games]] ==
* Wheatley was always there for Chell in ''[[Portal 2]]''. {{spoiler|Until his [[Face Heel Turn]].}}
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', Organization XIII member [[Genius Bruiser|Lex]][[The Quiet One|aeus]] says this about [[Badass Bookworm|Zex]][[Teen Genius|ion]], as detailed in his secret Journal entry in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days|Days]]''. The two, through their interactions, would seem to be [[Heterosexual Life Partner
* In ''[[Soul Calibur]] V'', we see Pyrrha Alexandria say almost this exact phrase to someone after her recently rediscovered brother Patroklos {{spoiler|threatened her with his sword and fled ''after she saves his life from [[Big Bad|Nightmare]]''.<ref>Okay, she did mutate into something vaguely monstrous at the beginning of said fight, but it is the principle of the thing</ref>
