His Name Is...	comment	The informer, about to give The Hero a key piece of information, is killed before they can tell who th- Frequently, the scene is stretched out by the informer being excessively verbose before being killed without getting to the important information. Sometimes this is because they insist on some reward from The Hero (such as protection from whomever they're informing on) or they don't want to be too helpful. A comedy variant is to have them go on at length about not having the strength to say anything. In many cases where the informant is killed by an unknown assassin, the hero is just as easy a target, prompting viewers to wonder why the assassin doesn't just kill the hero instead and end the story right there. A well-made story will arrange the scene so that the hero isn't a viable target (behind an obstacle, on the other end of a phone call, etc.), and in rare cases, the Big Bad has a reason to let the hero live... for now. Compare the Almost Dead Guy, who gets hurt and then gives the information, and He Knows Too Much, when a character is killed just for discovering important information. Sister Trope of Conveniently Interrupted Document. Subtrope of Lost in Transmission. See also Dying Clue. Absolutely no relation to My Nayme Is, nor a certain professional wrestler. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

In "From Bad To Worse", Princess Bubblegum gets caught and turned into a zombie as she's explaining how to make the zombie-curing formula. Her last words are "Just let Science do the work! Science is maaaaaaa raaaaaaaa..." It isn't until the end of the episode that Finn figures out she was trying to say "my rat"; she has a lab rat named Science that knows how to make the formula.

While the agents are sitting down to eat in a restaurant, the waitress is shot while reciting the daily specials. One of the FBI agents dramatically demands to know what she was going to say, but she dies right before she can finish. Another time, it momentarily appears that this happens to Bun-bun's informant, but then it's revealed to have been a cut to where the bad guys who were supposed to kill that informant are killing the wrong guy who was just about to reveal someone the location of a rave.

He instead rambles nervously for a bit about coffee and Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol, this giving the sinister conspiracy he's on the verge of exposing enough time to ensure that he never, ever tells anyone anything again just as he's about to spit it out. Happens again in "Dial M for Mayor". The suspect, who is working for the Big Bad of the entire series, is pressed for a name. And then cracks. After an agonizing series of pauses and false starts and more pauses and significant looks, the suspect says, "His... name... is...", and suddenly a mysterious lawyer shows up, declares that he's been retained to represent the suspect and that he's advising his client to exercise his right to remain silent.

At the time this seemed like just a ridiculous way of hiding the face from the readers (with it being beside the point that Aoba also didn't get to see it), but later it's revealed that Aoba had known Tobi for years before he assumed that identity and thus most certainly would have recognized the face as Obito Uchiha and thus prematurely exposed one of the biggest plot twists in the entire story.

His Name Is... / int_46f0352c	comment	Common in many mystery shows of the time, but The Shadow had it particularly bad. One particular episode (the Laughing Corpse) had a man start to answer the Shadow's question about the name and location of an ex-partner of his who had threatened to kill him, only to get distracted by a small box. It then happened a second time, once he realized he'd been poisoned by opening the box, by going on and on about how "I must tell you his name before he is able to complete his evil mission of revenge! His name is—" and that was it.

So Mary was raised by a rich lady named — Aaaahh!note Bromfield. The broken charm could be a mizpah coin as Bromfield is often a Jewish name.

Played with in "The Lost One". Anakin and Obi-Wan meet with Master Sifo-Dyas' former attachÃ©, hoping to find out who Tyranus is and why he paid the Pyke Syndicate to assassinate Sifo-Dyas. The attachÃ© (who's been help captive by the Pykes for a decade as insurance) is no longer sane enough to just come right out and explain everything, and while he manages to get the "why" part out, he's Force-choked to death before he can get to the "who". Subverted when Anakin and Obi-Wan turn around, see Count Dooku standing behind them, and start to put two and two together. In "The Phantom Apprentice", a captured Prime Minister Almec reveals that Maul's trap had been intended for two Jedi, not just one. The heroes already know Obi-Wan was one of them, but Almec taunts them by pretending to forget the other Jedi's name. After Bo-Katan threatens him, he caves in and is about to name them when one of Maul's Co-Dragons shoots him through the chest. Subverted in that he lives long enough to get the name out: "Skywalker".

A particularly bad case of the Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? variant, as Deadshot had a clear line of sight and we're explicitly told later in the sidequest that Batman was one of his targets, and the game even has you to stand around investigating the crime scene for a while before leaving. This is handwaved by the fact that Deadshot follows his own, extremely strict code - he has a list of people to kill in a specific order and at a specific time, Batman's time has not come yet and refuses to do it beforehand.

Kirtan Loor, aware that Isard will have him killed soon, goes to the New Republic and offers to trade information about Isard's machinations in exchange for his life. They accept, Loor takes a speeder with a New Republic agent, and when they arrive, that agent's husband, who had unwittingly been one of Isard's Manchurian Agents, shoots Loor, tries to shoot his wife while babbling apologies, and is shot by her. Loor dies alone while the agent weeps over her dying husband. Ultimately somewhat subverted, since Loor had a datacard on his person with some of the information he was prepared to tell them. Loor had thought they would be unable to access the data without him (thus guaranteeing protection and a large payout of cash), but there was one other person who knew the pattern Loor always used for his passwords. A person who Loor thought was already dead.note Utilizing his Photographic Memory, Loor had memorized all of the stock prices on the Imperial Stock Exchange for a single day, and he always used one of those prices for his passwords. His nemesis Corran Horn was aware of this tendency and knew what day he had used, so the NRI was able to look it up and eventually figure out that the key was the listing for Xucphra, the corporation Isard had just seized control of.

As the heroes fly back to their ship, he opens the briefcase and starts reading through it, discovering the enemy plans are much more far-reaching than anyone imagined. Just as he is about to tell his colleagues what he's discovered, his mecha explodes. Amply foreshadowed by how the show constantly cut to the damaged components in the second half of the episode, and the Retirony in the first half.

Unfortunately, once they reach the end of the book they find out that the last page is missing, and it inconveniently cuts out right as the detective is about to announce who the killer is.

Played straight with "I need you to go there and find my mother. Her name is..." before Daniel travels through time.

However, Maxwell Smart forgets the name and asks the informant to repeat it. The informant isn't so lucky the second time. Also lampshaded in Get Smart Again, where Smart tackles the informant to the ground when he is about to reveal the name, stating that "this is the part where they always get shot before telling us" (paraphrased, sorry). The informant still gets shot, and then before dying says that he didn't know who the traitor was because all contact with him was done through dead drops. Played for Laughs in "Aboard the Orient Express." Agent Ernst is stabbed in the back while talking to Max. Max asks him the identity of his killer, and he responds painfully slowly "Don't think I'll live long enough to say... pity!", and dies. Max is on the receiving end in "Where-What-How-Who Am I?".

Except for one episode, when Rocky has a rare moment of insight and suddenly realizes everything — not only the arc's plot but who's behind it. He gets as far as saying, "The villain of this whole show is named —" before he's incapacitated by the spies' goof gas and forgets everything.

Happens earlier that same arc when Jotaro and Koichi try to get the killer's name out of his tailor. Said tailor speaks and moves very slowly, claims that he remembers every single customer's name (but can't give it off the top of his head), and when he goes to read a tag in the killer's coat he struggles with reading the kanji on it. Before he can even get a single syllable out, the killer (who's hiding in the back room) kills the poor bastard. In fact, Yoshikage Kira developed his third bomb, Bites The Dust to invoke this trope. In the Golden Wind part, Diavolo kills Abbacchio to prevent his Stand from materializing into his face from 1986, only to be a tad little late as Abbacchio used his dying moments to leave Bucciarati's Team a very important clue.

Eventually, Niles gets fed up and goes off-script, in which his character kills off the whole cast save Frasier's character. Before his character dies he mentions "And a final bullet so the secret (of the Manor, the setting the play takes place) dies with me. ("shoots" self) Ha". Played for Drama in another episode involving Martin agonising over a decades old murder he never managed to solve. The victim scrawled the word 'HELP' in the dirt as she lay dying, which made no sense as anyone who could see the word would also have seen her on the ground. It turns out she was writing the killer's name, 'SHELBY', the vice cop who 'found' the body, but she died before finishing it and the first part got erased. Somehow, Frasier manages to conclude that the killer was a chimpanzee with a gun dressed as George Washington.
