Alice knows something that Bob doesn't want anyone else to know. So Bob has to do something for Alice so that she doesn't tell anyone. In a teen comedy, a character is blackmailed by someone outside the main cast, and the others find out and stick up for their friend. In a Government Procedural, a respected politician is confronted with pictures of them in a strip club or with a girl twenty years too young for them, and is asked for hush money. In a Super Hero story, the hero is blackmailed when someone discovers their Secret Identity. In a Sitcom, a child blackmails their sibling when they break a rare, expensive heirloom or when they have an Embarrassing Old Photo (or even knowledge of something personal, such as their diary). In a more explicit story, an attractive character is blackmailed with information that could incriminate their significant other into performing sexual deeds for the blackmailer (that last variant is really popular in Hentai, especially of the Netorare genre). The possibilities are endless. To list all the variations and permutations of this trope here would be a lesson in madness. Blackmail is such a key plot device, so intrinsic to the art of storytelling and human nature, that it is used by almost every series at one point or another. Sadly, it's very seldom these days that a blackmail resister (themself a rare animal) does so with the traditional response, and in real life usually effective, "Publish and be damned!" One of the many ways of making someone An Offer He Can't Refuse. When coupled with Sinister Surveillance, this can become Paranoia Fuel, hence the potency of Big Brother Is Watching. Of course, it's rarely stated as such, because "Blackmail" Is Such an Ugly Word. While the words 'blackmail' and 'extortion' are used interchangeably, this is not strictly true. "Extortion" is the broader category in legal terms, consisting of "obtaining money, property, or services from another person through coercion." "Blackmail" is a specific type of Extortion where the threat is "to reveal information that is potentially embarrassing, socially damaging, or incriminating about the victim or their family member(s) unless a demand for property, money or services is met." For example "I Have Your Wife hostage, give me the MacGuffin or she is done for" would be extortion, however, "I have pictures of you/your loved one committing a crime, give me the MacGuffin or your/their reputation is toast" would be blackmail. One side note is that the word originally did in fact mean simply extortion; rent or taxes was called "mail" in Scotland therefore taking it illegally (by threatening to burn down a neighboring clan's huts for example) was blackmail. The modern meaning shows how language evolves. Also note that blackmail is an inherently dangerous activity. Informing someone that you know too much is quite rarely the best course of action, especially if Agatha Christie is holding the pen or you haven't told anyone else (but don't tell too many people, as that would, of course, defeat the purpose of blackmail). The danger (along with the potential stupidity) is compounded if the intended victim of the blackmail is already a murderer. After all, if they've already had sufficient reason to kill at least one person, is it very likely that they'll baulk at murdering another — especially if that other person is trying to squeeze them for money? Supertrope to Revenge Porn Blackmail, which involves blackmailing someone with indecent material of them. Compare Blackmail Backfire when the blackmailing fails for some reason. Not to be confused with film of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock. |

Tsubasa Kowase uses compromising photos and recordings of girls who don't look like they'll fight back to blackmail them into doing whatever he wants, such as giving him money or allowing themselves to be used for sexual favors. Yashima, who serves as his latest victim, was recorded shoplifting by Kowase once, and has been tormented by him ever since. Maria gives him A Taste Of His Own Medicine by confiscating and hacking into his smartphone before anonymously sending him a video of himself masturbating and another video deleted two years go where he and his friends were bullying Kiritaka, demanding 3 million yen in exchange for not posting them on the internet (not that she expects him to pay up, since at this point she's just trying to fuel his paranoia). | |

Do You Want to Haggle? | |

While picking up an arms shipment from the Church of Violence, Rock observes Sister Eda directing workers to store cleaned linens in a shed. When Sister Yolanda tries to bargain up the price, Rock puts this information together with Balalaika's earlier mention of somebody dealing drugs outside the various organized crime syndicates' established channels, deduces that the Church of Violence is responsible, and blackmails Yolanda into filling their order at the original price. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
| Blackmail / int_28a5213a | comment |
In Trials And Tribulations, the motive for the second case is blackmail. Luke Atmey, a self-proclaimed ace detective, had investigated a recent theft by Mask* De Masque, aka Ron DeLite. He quickly figures out who Mask* DeMasque is, and blackmails him (the threat being ratting him out)... into stealing more stuff and giving it to him through a safe-deposit box to hide his identity. In return, he gives a small fraction of the revenue to the thief. The head of a large security company, Kane Bullard, finds out about this through the guards he dispatched to the various heists, and sends a blackmail note of his own to Mr. Atmey, calling him to his office and telling him to bring $50,000, or else his dirty crime will be revealed. Upon reading this, Atmey forwards the letter to DeMasque. The vague contents of the letter make Ron think he's being blackmailed, so he goes to Kane Bullard's office. Luke then kills Kane and hatches an elaborate plot to pin it on Ron/DeMasque. | |

In the New World, Trafalgar Law and Luffy blackmail Doflamingo into stepping down as a member of the Seven Warlords via holding Caesar Clown hostage, thus preventing Doflamingo from making an item he had been supplying to one of the Four Emperors, thus risking his wrath. However, Doflamingo sent out a fake news report saying that he quit and took advantage of the group's guard being down as a result of it. | |

One Last Job | |

This is part of the origin story of heroine Helena Wayne, Huntress of Earth-Two and daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. Selina is conned by a former lackey of hers into doing One Last Job by revealing that he had photos of her killing a police officer. Sadly, the job goes balls up when Batman gets involved, ending up with Selina getting killed. Before Helena discovers him, the lackey admits that the photos were doctored and she hadn't killed anyone. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Blackmail / int_6d332aea | comment |
This is essentially Redd White and Bluecorp's method of doing business in the first game. When Marvin Grossberg gave information on Misty Fey to White, the police suspected someone leaked it, and White blackmailed him into paying him money, later using his influence over him to prevent him from defending Maya when she was charged with killing Mia Fey, something White himself had done. The revelation that many of White's victims had been Driven to Suicide easily puts him over the Moral Event Horizon. In a karmic twist, Mia, her spirit channeled by Maya, tells him that she will release a list of his victims to the press if he does not confess to killing her. | |

The Fighters Guild and Thieves' Guild have a clandestine war going on between them. This is because the leader of the Fighters Guild and a couple of his top lieutenants are in the pocket of the Camonna Tong, Morrowind's native mafia who are rivals to the Thieves Guild. In both the Fighters and Thieves Guild quest lines, Hrundi, the former Number Two to the previous Guild Master, needs to be convinced to support the Player Character. In both cases, you can learn that he has a Dunmer lover, and use this information to blackmail him into supporting you. | |

A lesser instance from the same book relates to the protagonist secretly being female. The actress/prostitute Fiona, hired briefly to act the part of the maid Violet doesn't really have, uses her knowledge of Violet's dual identity to extract information on one of Violet's friends, whom she wants to seduce and settle down with. Since Fiona and said friend both end up genuinely happy together, Violet doesn't particularly resent this. | |

After Oscar destroys the Monstra Grimm and Salem temporarily, Neo steals the Relic of Knowledge in the confusion. She then messages Cinder to tell her she has the Relic and the password to use it. Unless Cinder finally helps Neo kill Ruby, she'll never get it back and Salem will kill Cinder for losing the Relic. | |

After having been trapped in Impel Down's level 6, Sir Crocodile volunteers to help get Luffy and the prisoners. Luffy initially flat out refuses, still remembering the Alabasta incident, but Ivankov assures him that Crocodile will behave because he knows a certain weakness for Crocodile. We don't know what that weakness is yet, but if the fact that Ivankov knows it is an indication, then it'll assuredly be hilarious. | |

In Justice For All, Matt Engarde secretly tapes Shelly De Killer, the Professional Killer he paid to kill his rival Juan Corrida, as he commits the murder, with the intent of blackmailing De Killer in case he ever betrayed him. In addition, Engarde also has him kidnap Maya to extort Phoenix into defending him in court. Unfortunately for Engarde, this backfires, as De Killer actually places a high value on trust between him and his clients, so Phoenix proving the existence of this tape to him is all he needed to break the contract and put Matt on his kill list. | |

Haruhi blackmails the Computer Club President into giving her the most modern computer of their club with pictures of him grabbing Mikuru's boobs. An event Haruhi forcefully orchestrates. And when the president points out that his club witnessed the incident and would stand up on his behalf, Haruhi cheerfully exclaims "I'll just say that the whole class was planning on f***ing her!" | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" | |
| Blackmail / int_d7b34c31 | comment |
At the end of Week 5, a character only known as the Blackmailer reveals to you that you are actually one of the three missing employees who are wanted by AVAC after the fire at CARI. He gives you the whole week to decide whether to keep your identity a secret from the organization and/or your old friend who has been looking for you since the fire, but the payments for both are steep. | |

The Mole | |
| Blackmail / int_e70127 | comment |
In the second season, Jasper was being blackmailed by Rufus himself at the same time. He was forced into helping him and Vera as The Mole, or else Fabian, his godson, could be harmed. Then Jerome found out he stole the gem Jerome had spent all season finding, and sure enough, also ended up blackmailing Jasper to force him to help get the gem back. | |

Emotion Suppression | |
| Blackmail / int_e87dcc7d | comment |
If you let Prof. Choi stay at your store overnight for several days to develop the cure for Fixer, some of your customers become suspicious of the two of you and threaten to report you, the store manager, to AVAC. You can pay them a hefty sum of money to keep them quiet. | |

Evil Old Folks | |
| Blackmail / int_eb9afb9d | comment |
In the episode where Grandma Ida and Grandpa Victor are introduced, they agree to loan Hal and Lois money for a new refrigerator, and Hal and Lois buy a fancy new one with their own money. When they ask Ida and Victor to help with the costs, they say that they never loan money to family. Later, Victor gives Reese a live hand grenade, and when he pulls the pin, Malcolm in a panic throws it into the fridge and they run out of the house. Lois chastises her parents for giving her son such a dangerous weapon to play with, but Ida guilts Lois into apologizing for raising her voice. Hal asks Lois to take the boys into another room while he handles the situation and tells Ida and Victor that he won't get into the issues Lois has as a result of being raised by them, but he asks for a sum of money much higher than originally discussed to the pay for a new refrigerator and fix the damages caused by grenade blast. He also tells them that he knows they don't loan money to family, but what he's asking for is not a loan, but a blackmail payment, insisting that if they don't give him the money, then he'll have them arrested and jailed for child endangerment. | |

A case of this in Chapter 5 of the first game. Embarrassing photos of Laharl that were provided by Etna have arrived in Maderas' hands, and he uses this to lure him into a gigantic trap (involving busty babes and optimistic sayings) under threat of spreading the photos and compromising the young heir's reputation. In reality, Maderas didn't have as much control over the situation as he wanted... | |

Blackmail Backfire | |
| Blackmail / int_f70710ae | comment |
Shauna is cheating on her husband Jeff, believing that he is also cheating. When her daughter Callie finds this out, she makes certain demands of her, including not having a curfew and any Uber rides she wants to take into the city being no-questions-asked, or else she'll tell Jeff. Shauna pulls an epic Blackmail Backfire by telling her just what the consequences of this would be: her college fund lost to fund divorce attorney expenses and her living with Jeff, eating cold pizza and being asked by him for dating advice. | |

You can do this to a Blood War veteran in Planescape: Torment — threaten to spread the word of how he sold out his comrades to save his own skin. "This is blackmail, old man..." He'll tell you that you're disgusting but capitulate. | |
