A situation where a defeated character, in a battle to death, requests to be killed by the victor. The reasons for this scenario vary depending on the story. Maybe the defeated character is gravely wounded; they have no reinforcements and can expect no rescue; perhaps they face an overwhelming force they have no hope of triumph over. Either way, the defeated character is waiting for their final moments. But the victor is taking an unreasonably long time. Defiant to the End, cue the scream from the defeated character: "JUST GET THIS OVER WITH!". Bonus points if the defeated character asks the victor why they're taking so long to finish them. This scenario has two outcomes, either the character is promptly executed, or spared. If spared, it turns out that the defeated character's life was never in danger to begin with. Perhaps their enemy is honorable and/or impressed by their courage, the defeated character passed a Secret Test of Character, or perhaps it's because they need the defeated character. Or maybe they were mistaken about who was their enemy, because of the way they were lied to about this character. Or perhaps they know that they'd rather die than suffer the humiliation of having to live with the loss. Can be a form of Shut Up, Hannibal! or Shut Up, Kirk! In which case, it may give the hero or villain an opening to turn the tables — partly because it's commonly the most egotistical villains or sanctimonious heroes that inspire it. Compare Sword over Head. Contrast You Will Be Spared and Villains Want Mercy. It might serve to Wring Every Last Drop Out of the Villain. May overlap with Kill Me Now, or Forever Stay Your Hand. If someone else asks, it's Kill Him Already!; if someone else orders, Finish Him!; If someone asks to be killed because they can't kill themselves, it's I Cannot Self-Terminate. See also Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?. Contrast Face Death with Dignity, Scheherezade Gambit, Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred!. Compare Bolivian Army Ending, where the characters are defeated, but refuse to die without a fight. As a Death Trope, all spoilers are off, so proceed with caution. You Have Been Warned. |

The Walking Dead: Andy St. John tells Lee this after the rest of his family has either been killed or incapacitated, depending on your choices, and it's up to you whether or not you finish your fistfight with him by ending his life. At the end of Season 2, if you let Kenny kill Jane, immediately after he stabs her, the reality of what he's done sets in, and he seems to think that, if you were to decide to kill him too, it would be justified; your gun is trained on him, and he tells you do "just do it." It's your call as to whether or not to pull the trigger. |

In Twig, Sylvester, Jamie, and Lillian are trapped in the wartorn city of Lugh, and Sylvester, having given up hope of getting himself out, asks their enemy Reverend Mauer to Please Kill Me if It Satisfies You, even going to the point of trying to pull the trigger on Mauer's rifle himself in the hope that his death will spare Jamie and Lillian. He's then astonished when Mauer refuses him, instead opting to recruit the three into his forces. | |

In Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team, Capt. Packard manages to fry Shiro's cameras, blinding him in the middle of combat. As Shiro fumbles around for a spare circuit to repair the camera, his Gundam shakes violently. When nothing actually happens, he screams "Just finish me already!", believing that Packard is playing with him before killing him. He's not, he's actually using Shiro's Gundam as a shield against the rest of the 08th Team, who have just arrived to help. | |

In the first season episode of Angel "Eternity", actress Rebecca Lowell tries to persuade Angel to turn her into a vampiress so that she won't have to worry about aging; needless to say he refuses. In an effort to change his mind, she drugs him, thinking just to render him more pliable, not realizing that this will turn him evil instead. He stalks her through his office complex, toying with his prey, deliberately putting off the murder so as to enjoy her fear; she is clearly terrified, but finally gets fed up with this, stops running, and turns to face him, saying "Whatever you're going to do, do it." Of course, that's when Wesley and Cordelia show up to save the day. | |

Arrow: The Huntress holds a crossbow on Frank Bertinelli, her mafia boss father who ordered her fiancé's death. Roy Harper, when asked by a murderous vigilante at gunpoint why he should be allowed to live, can't think of anything, and gives this trope. He's visibly shocked when the Hood intervenes to save him. When Thea discovers her father, supervillain Malcolm Merlyn, is still alive, she shoots him and then drops the pistol in shock. Malcolm however is wearing a Bulletproof Vest. Thea thinks she will be killed and tells him to just get it over with, but Malcolm expresses his approval that his daughter had the emotional fortitude to shoot him. |

In the Tales of the Bounty Hunters anthology, there's a story about how Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc. The Sarlacc, as the story reveals, is more or less sentient, sort of having the mind of its first victim, and preserves its victims for millennia, getting it to tell them their life stories and forcing them to relive the memories of others while being kept immobile and dissolving; it keeps them even after death. Fett, hearing this, demands to know why it doesn't just kill these people, is told/shown an old joke. It's about a farmer with a meat animal that has one leg missing, that apparently can sing and speak and take care of the farmer's children. Asked why it has a missing leg, the farmer says "A barve like that, you don't eat it all at once." Much later, after escaping and healing, Fett hovers in his ship with the weapons pointed at the Sarlacc, and it tells him You liberate me from the long Cycle. But he doesn't shoot it, and when it wants to know why, he repeats that joke's punchline. | |

Supernatural In season 4, Dean is given an ultimatum: hand another character over to die, or go back to Hell. He initially doesn't think they'll do it, but once he's convinced that they will still tells them to go ahead. They switch to threatening Sam instead, and he complies exactly as Sam had planned. In the season 5 episode "Dark Side of the Moon", Dean is sitting in his hotel room at gunpoint as Roy and Walt argue over whether or not to kill him. He finally growls, "Go ahead, Roy, do it. But I'm gonna warn ya—when I come back, I'm gonna be pissed." This can be viewed as a variation on the trope because Dean knew Zachariah would just resurrect him anyway. In "The End", Dean travels into the future where the Apocalypse has happened and Lucifer is winning. After a final desperate attempt to kill Lucifer leads to the death of his friends, Dean witnesses Lucifer-in-Sam's body casually snap future Dean's neck. Realizing all is lost, Dean tells Lucifer to go ahead and kill him. Lucifer quips, "Don't you think that would be a little... redundant?" In "Two Minutes to Midnight", Dean discovers The Problem with Fighting Death is not only that you can't kill an immortal Eldritch Abomination, you're so insignificant he can't even be bothered indulging this trope. |

During the introduction to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a captured Stormcloak soldier says this trope word for word, interrupting the priestess giving him and the other prisoners their last rites before being sent to the executioner's block. He quickly gets his head cut off, insulting the Imperials on the way, but if he had waited then he would have likely survived thanks to Alduin. | |

In the Ultramarines novel The Killing Ground, in their third ordeal, Leodegarius defeats Uriel and Pasanius, knocking Pasanius unconscious and leaving Uriel unable to rise. Uriel, angry that this man, who should have fought beside them, is going to kill them, tells him to get it over with. Whereupon Leodegarius tells him that the ordeal is to lose, because the only way they could have defeated him was the use of warp-based powers. Failure has shown that they don't have them. | |

Mortal Kombat: In Mortal Kombat X, Mileena makes this demand to Kotal Kahn after being captured, refusing to beg. He obliges but says she isn't worthy of his hands, telling D'Vora to do it. (What happens next is rather disturbing; Cassie Cage, who witnesses, says "Thank you, I know I'll never eat again.) In Mortal Kombat 1, Reptile (Syzoth) is introduced as Shang Tsung's jailer, having imprisoned the Earthrealm party sent by Lord Liu Kang, as well as Baraka. Then, Tsung orders Syzoth to plunge them into experimentation chambers. After Baraka fights against other Tarkatans (including a beefy Super Tarkatan), he fights and defeats Syzoth, who puts himself at Baraka's mercy in the hopes that Tsung may spare his family. It's eventually revealed that Tsung actually murdered Syzoth's family, with the latter immediately joining the Earthrealm party on their quest after learning the Awful Truth. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Zhao towards Zuko in the third episode. Zuko does not comply. A variation occurs in the second season with Zuko. He isn't looking to be killed directly, just for some lightning to strike him (so he can try to redirect it), but the tone is very much in line with this trope as he rails at the heavens not to hold back. |

At first, one assumes that, given how he's looking at the mark on Yvonne's hand — which allows her to turn someone the mark touches into a puppet — he wants her to transform him into a puppet (for whatever reason). Actually, he's requesting that Yvonne kill him to get him ready to be the Dark Signer of Wiraqocha Rasca which she does after their duel finishes. | |

Rome: Titus Pullo and Octavian interrogate a man they suspect of sleeping with Vorenus' wife. He readily confesses once they start to torture him and gives this trope. Pullo is entirely willing to oblige, but Octavian stops him, realising that he's willing to die to cover up something. He's fathered a child by her, who would be killed if the truth got out. When Pullo is sentenced to death in the arena, he refuses to pick up a sword; he just sits on the ground and tells the gladiators to kill him. They're rather flummoxed by this, until (unfortunately for them) they succeed in goading him to fight via his Berserk Button. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: In A Clash of Kings, the rangers want captive wildling warrior Ygritte executed, to which Jon Snow objects and wants to spare Ygritte's life because she yielded, but Qhorin Halfhand gives this task to Jon. Jon Snow tries to ready himself to execute her, which he is reluctant to do both on account of her gender and because she had surrendered. Ygritte, who faces death with equanimity although it's plain she'd rather not die, finally tells him to hurry up and get it over with because she "can't stay brave forever." Jon can't bring himself to kill Ygritte and saves her life by letting her go. Tyrion is in his cell waiting for execution. When someone opens the door, he says, "Come on you son of a whore, are you afraid of a dwarf?" However, it's his brother come to rescue him, so Jaime just says that's no way to talk about their mother. After Brienne cuts off the hand of a Dornish sellsword, he cries "Finish it. Send me back to Dorne, you bloody bitch!" She obliges. |

One Piece: Big Bad Captain Morgan is revealed to have been a part of Captain Kuro's backstory, when Kuro massacred an entire ship that Morgan had been part of the crew of, leaving only Morgan alive. Morgan then pulls this, only for Kuro to reveal that he needs Morgan alive as part of his plan to fake his own death. Thanks to hypnosis, Morgan doesn't remain aware of this long. Daddy Masterson also does this after losing a duel with Yassop, a member of Shank's pirate crew and Usopp's father. Yassop spares him upon realizing that Masterson had a daughter; having abandoned his own family to be a pirate, Yassop reasons that "One useless father like me in the world is more than enough", and further justifies it by pointing out that pirates don't have to kill unless they feel like it. |

In Small Favor, when Harry defeats the gruff at Union Station, it tells him to finish it. Twice. Whereupon Harry says he does not kill unless necessary, much to the shock of the gruff, who had assumed he was actually in Winter Court. | |

In A Clash of Kings, the rangers want captive wildling warrior Ygritte executed, to which Jon Snow objects and wants to spare Ygritte's life because she yielded, but Qhorin Halfhand gives this task to Jon. Jon Snow tries to ready himself to execute her, which he is reluctant to do both on account of her gender and because she had surrendered. Ygritte, who faces death with equanimity although it's plain she'd rather not die, finally tells him to hurry up and get it over with because she "can't stay brave forever." Jon can't bring himself to kill Ygritte and saves her life by letting her go. | |

In The Dark Elf Trilogy, when Dinin is surrounded by enemy soldiers, he fully expects to be killed and, being an Always Chaotic Evil drow himself, isn't even angry about it. However, he asks to be killed quickly and without pain. When the answer is "No," he is ready to fight to the death. Then he learns it's "No, I won't kill you at all." Despite his unrepentant evil, this calm, absolutely sober way he faces his death as a consequence of his lifestyle for Dinin. | |

Jesus Christ Superstar, in the midst of Judas and Jesus's row, Jesus asks Judas "Why don't you go do it?", that is, go on and turn me in: Later, Jesus urges God to get his arrest and execution over with quickly. Depending on the production, the delivery of the latter may translate to "I trust you and I'm as ready as I'm going to get, so let's do it", or to "I can't stop you, so for the moment I'm not bothering to resist." |

Greyjoy Alla Breve: Joffrey has this reaction when Ramsay Bolton visits him in his cell, after sending him tons of threatening letters and photos. Instead, after some time, Ramsay leaves... not, as Joffrey thinks, because he's planning to do something horrific, but because he was beginning to pity Joffrey, and knew that actually torturing him would not be worth the effort. | |

Aribeth in Neverwinter Nights insist you kill her, as she has come too far to turn back to the good side if you persist in trying. However, she relents and comes back if you previously completed her Romance Sidequest. And even if you convince her to surrender, later events establish she didn't live long after anyway. | |

Game of Thrones: In "The Old Gods and the New", Qhorin Halfhand leaves the task of executing wildling warrior Ygritte with Jon but Jon has trouble finding it in himself to go through with it. Jon is reluctant to execute her so Ygritte urges Jon to hurry up with killing her because she's having trouble keeping her composure, but Jon can't bring himself to do it and he spares her life instead. The black cells seem to have this effect: Knowing a fair trial is out of the question, when Ned Stark learns a prisoner exchange is also out, he tells Varys to slit his throat and be done with it. Tyrion curses the person opening his cell with this trope in "The Children" when he is falsely accused of killing Joffrey and imprisoned for it. When Brienne sentences Stannis to death, he clearly doesn't give a darn about it. He says this in so many words to her, simply telling her to do her duty. Understandable, as his crusade has failed, he'll never be king now, he's lost his family and as such, has nothing left to live for. In "The Dragon and the Wolf", Tyrion goes alone to negotiate with his sister Queen Cersei, who's wanted him dead since the day he was born. When Tyrion gives his sister a blatant invitation to do so, Cersei gives a Psychotic Smirk and her eyes move irresistibly to the Mountain. Tyrion responds by walking right up to the undead killing machine and goading her to give the order. |

Dracula in A Day in Dracula's Life quits trying to do anything to Richter Belmont, who had been made invincible by Maria's Big Damn Heroes moment on top of all the Whoring, and decides to lay down and tell Richter to kill him. When Richter doesn't comply with killing him right then and there, Dracula realizes that the fight is supposed to look convincing because it's Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Or Castlevania: Rondo of Blood or whatever). Dracula, wanting to be put out of his misery already, sighs that he has to do this and tries to attack Richter, who throws another Hydro Storm. Dracula dies, sarcastically saying This Cannot Be!, but manages to call Richter a "fucking ass" one last time after he stops screaming. | |

Firing Range is about a telepathic tank that attacks on sensing the enemy's hostility or fear, using the things he's most afraid of to identify fatal weaknesses. One soldier becomes so exhausted trying to stay alive that he collapses in front of the tank and tells it to just go ahead and kill him. The tank doesn't move and he bursts into laughter, realising it won't attack because it doesn't sense his fear. Until he remembers his earlier fear of being crushed under its tracks... | |

Warhammer 40,000: In the Ultramarines novel The Killing Ground, in their third ordeal, Leodegarius defeats Uriel and Pasanius, knocking Pasanius unconscious and leaving Uriel unable to rise. Uriel, angry that this man, who should have fought beside them, is going to kill them, tells him to get it over with. Whereupon Leodegarius tells him that the ordeal is to lose, because the only way they could have defeated him was the use of warp-based powers. Failure has shown that they don't have them. In Titanicus, when cornered by a skitarii, one of Cally Samstag's soldiers says this. The skitarii, startled, says it had just sent for help — and then asks whether they took it for an enemy. In the Gaunt's Ghosts novel First & Only, Flense threatens to shoot Dorden, whom he is holding hostage, if Gaunt mocks him. Dorden tells Gaunt to mock on, so he can be shot rather than listen to Flense's "garbage." In the White Scars novel Hunt for Voldorius, when Voldorius reveals he knows that Malya sent information to his foes, she tells him to kill her. He reveals worse plans. In the Night Lords novel Lord of the Night, when the Inquisitor summons Mita — for execution or mind-wipe, she assumes — she tells him during the meeting to do it and get it over with. |

At first, she tries to argue that showing her mercy would just unnecessarily prolong the war, before changing tracks and asking only that they be the one to take her life. When Byleth finally raises their sword, Edelgard visibly relaxes and mutters how she had wished for the two of them to walk the same path together. Then the blade swings down. | |

Sienkiewicz Trilogy: In The Deluge, as Andrzej Kmicic (who's not a hero yet) duels the deceptively short Master Swordsman Michał Wołodyjowski, he gets a Curb-Stomp Battle and is reduced to begging to be spared the humiliation. Wołodyjowski obliges (and then leaves before Kmicic is quite dead, allowing the rest of the plot to happen). In the opening duel of Potop, Kmicic eventually just tells Wołodyjowski (his opponent, who has spent three minutes utterly humiliating him in swordplay without even hitting him once) to just finish it and save him further shame. Two seconds later, Kmicic is downed. |

Stargate Atlantis: In the third-season episode "Common Ground", the Wraith Todd is first introduced. After repeatedly feeding on Sheppard to the point that he's almost become a desiccated corpse, Sheppard intones him to do this. Then Todd gives back all the life-energy he took from him because Sheppard helped him escape from a Genii prison. | |

Star Wars Legends: In the Tales of the Bounty Hunters anthology, there's a story about how Boba Fett escaped the Sarlacc. The Sarlacc, as the story reveals, is more or less sentient, sort of having the mind of its first victim, and preserves its victims for millennia, getting it to tell them their life stories and forcing them to relive the memories of others while being kept immobile and dissolving; it keeps them even after death. Fett, hearing this, demands to know why it doesn't just kill these people, is told/shown an old joke. It's about a farmer with a meat animal that has one leg missing, that apparently can sing and speak and take care of the farmer's children. Asked why it has a missing leg, the farmer says "A barve like that, you don't eat it all at once." Much later, after escaping and healing, Fett hovers in his ship with the weapons pointed at the Sarlacc, and it tells him You liberate me from the long Cycle. But he doesn't shoot it, and when it wants to know why, he repeats that joke's punchline. When Bevel Lemelisk, the designer of the Death Star — who Emperor Palpatine had painfully killed and cloned back to life again and again for missing the flaw that got the Death Star destroyed — is finally executed by the New Republic, his last words are "Do it right this time." |

Firefly: A variation from the episode "Safe". Saffron in the episode "Our Mrs. Reynolds". By asking for this she is also reacting to the hero's equivalent of a "The Reason You Suck" Speech with the villain's form of a Shut Up, Hannibal!. Of course, Mal Wouldn't Shoot a Girl, or at least not an unarmed one. |

The page quote comes from the season 1 finale of Watchmen (2019), where Jane Crawford tells Lady Trieu to stop reading Will Reeves's speech to the leaders of Cyclops and just kill them already. As evident by her response, Trieu happily obliges. | |

The final scene of The Departed features a low-key version as Sullivan returns to his luxury apartment to find Dignam wearing hospital slippers over his shoes to disguise his footprints and holding a loaded gun, ready to avenge his dead comrades (even the ones he never liked). Having known his crimes would catch up with him eventually, Sullivan, in a tone of almost disgusted resignation, sighs, "Okay." Dignam promptly shoots him in the head and makes a quick getaway. | |

Subtle double subversion in the first season finale of Terriers. After Hank is framed for murder and hauled off to jail along with the actual murderers who almost certainly mean to do away with him as soon as they're alone, he starts yelling at them to get it over with and kill him right there in the police car. Doubly subverted in that a) he's partly doing it to get the cops to take him seriously and help him, and b) the cops were already secretly on his side and were planning to let him go anyway. | |

In the miniseries Merlin (1998): after Mab kills Morgan, Frik rages at her in his grief, calling her an "evil old crone." In revenge, Mab strips him of magic. When Mordred asks why she didn't just kill him, she says "Because that's what he wanted me to do." | |

Done by the villains in The Cabin in the Woods. The two surviving protagonists are creeping through the Elaborate Underground Base when the voice of the as-yet-unseen Director comes over the speakers, explaining how their deaths are Necessarily Evil. Meanwhile on Ominous Multiple Screens, we see Faceless Goons racing to kill them. | |
