* ''Film/ToBeOrNotToBe''" When the Resistance fighters and actors disguised as Nazis prepare to kill a traitor, they subtly inquire about whether he's made a copy of the list of underground agents and families of Polish fighter pilots he's preparing to turn over. Unfortunately, he has, leading to a scramble to retrieve ''that.''

* ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''. After Mr. Waternoose hears the full story of the incident from Mike, he asks, "Does anyone else know about this?" It is a terrific moment due to the business headaches Mr. Waternoose has been dealing with since the opening of the film. The line seems innocuous enough and appears to be genuine concern on Mr. Waternoose's part right up until the Banishment Door shows up and he shoves Sulley and Mike through.

* In the Film/MissMarple film "Murder at the Gallop" (starring Margaret Rutherford), frightened Miss Gilcrest gives Miss Marple information regarding the murder of Mr. Enderby, and Miss Marple asks her if she's told anyone else the information. This is a subversion because Miss Marple is the detective investigating the murder and [[spoiler:Miss Gilcrest is the murderer trying to throw Miss Marple off track]].

* A case of this happens both ways in ''Series/Daredevil2015'', after Karen Page and Ben Urich interview Wilson Fisk's mother.
** The hero to villain variant happens first: Marlene calls James Wesley and informs him of Karen and Ben's visit. Wesley goes out, kidnaps Karen, takes her to an abandoned warehouse, and tries to blackmail her into backing down. She asks him if he's told Fisk about her involvement in visiting Fisk's mother. Wesley says he hasn't. Then Wesley's phone rings, as Fisk is trying to call him from the hospital. [[TheDogBitesBack Having been victimized by Fisk one time too many]], Karen grabs the gun [[TooDumbToLive Wesley had placed on the table]] and shoots him to death, guaranteeing that this doesn't happen.
** The villain to hero variant happens in the next episode, when Fisk learns about Karen and Ben's visit from his mole at the ''Bulletin''. Fisk breaks in to Ben's apartment, and asks Ben if there was anyone else there when he talked to Fisk's mother. Ben realizes that Fisk is eliminating loose ends, and will go after Karen if he mentions her. So he lies and says he was alone. Fisk then gets up, wrestles Ben to the floor, and chokes him to death with his bare hands. As a result, Karen is still alive, aware that Fisk killed his father, and blames herself for getting Ben killed.

* ''Film/TheDeep'': When salty treasure hunter Treece finds out that David and Gail have found a wreck he's heavily interested in, he asks who else knows about it. After a moment's pause, they truthfully reply that a local man named Bondurant has approached them about the wreck. However, it quickly becomes clear that Treece is a hero (or at least an AntiHero) and Bondurant is a ruthless crime lord.

* Creator/VernorVinge's ''Literature/ZonesOfThought'': In ''Literature/AFireUponTheDeep'', Scriber, a somewhat flaky inventor and self-proclaimed spy, comes up with a method of locating enemy spies in Woodcarver's city. He tells it to spymaster Vendacious, not realizing he's a double-agent and that Scriber's method would expose him. Vendacious congratulates Scriber and asks who else knows about this because "we'll need to swear them to secrecy also". Needless to say, after Scriber's earnest assurance that no-one else knows, death follows rapidly.

* In ''Film/MissionImpossibleDeadReckoningPartOne'', Denlinger, the Director of National Intelligence, meets with Gabriel, TheDragon of powerful artificial intelligence and BigBad the Entity, to inform Gabriel that he has made sure nobody but him knows the location of the ''Sevastopol'', a submarine that was attacked by an early version of the Entity’s program and thus may give its enemies an opportunity to find a weakness. Denlinger thinks that this intelligence makes him useful to Gabriel, but since Gabriel is fine with the submarine’s location staying secret due to his twisted loyalty to the Entity, he simply confirms that nobody else knows where the submarine is and then kills Denlinger.

** ''Literature/{{Allegiance}}'': Ominous StateSec official Vak Somoril asks Captain Ozzel who else knows about a secret that could sink their careers in one scene as part of a plot to commit murder. Unusually, Somoril isn't planning to kill Ozzel except in a worst case scenario, but plans to kill anyone else who knows the secret and is below a certain rank. Ironically, Ozzel asks Somoril if ''he's'' told anyone else while listing eveyone in the loop, but asks that question innocently and lacks the backbone to ever dream of trying to get the better of Somoril.
