When any character is Being Watched on video surveillance and they look at the camera directly as if they know they are being watched. Usually indicates that the person being watched knows more than the audience has been led to believe, or is a threat to the people watching them. More bonus points if the person doesn't want their observers to know that they can tell they're being watched, and quickly looks away when they accidentally make eye contact with the camera. This trope also applies to the one way windows found in interrogation rooms and other cases where someone being watched behaves in a manner that indicates they know exactly what's going on on the other side. Compare to Poke in the Third Eye, which involves the more metaphysical forms of surveillance or generally making sure whoever's watching stops watching. Contrast Bluff the Eavesdropper. If the character knows he's being watched by the audience, then this falls underneath Breaking the Fourth Wall. See also Two-Way Tapping, when the eavesdropping people reveal themselves. Examples |

Gate: When the group goes to a bathhouse, a team of agents is sent to secretly guard them. One of the agents spies on the bathing girls with binoculars, but Rory Mercury looks in his direction and glares, causing him to get scared and drop the binoculars. His superiors assure that he's over 400 meters away and there's no way he could have been seen, but he decides to stop peeping and do his job. | |

Subverted in an episode of Bones. Investigating the murder of a mentally ill young man who believed himself to be the devil, the team is interrogating one of his fellow inmates at the asylum, a girl who believes herself to be an angel. Looking in on the interview room in the asylum, Bones comments that, while she doesn't believe in supernatural phenomena of any stripe, it is unnerving how the girl's eyes seem to follow her perfectly from the other side of a two-way mirror. The asylum's head doctor quickly points out that their interview room isn't equipped with a two-way mirror—it's a perfectly normal window. | |

The Curse of the Blue Figurine: In the sequel The Trolley to Yesterday, Professor Childermass and Brewster (actually the Egyptian god Horus) are in his house having a talk. Johnny and Fergie are crouched under the kitchen window trying to listen in, where Brewster easily detects them and asks the Professor, "But hadn't you better ask those other two in?" Professor Childermass is... not thrilled to catch the two eavesdroppers, but ends up inviting them in and explaining what's going on anyway. | |

An episode of Fringe sees Olivia explore her subconscious memories of her deceased partner John Scott, including one night at a restaurant. Following Dr. Bishop's guidance that this is all a dreamscape and that she can't be seen by anyone, Olivia sits down at John's table... who immediately looks in Olivia's direction! This, obviously, spooks her, but Dr. Bishop insists that she cannot be seen. Later, when she returns to her home, she checks her e-mail only to find a new message that reads, "I saw you at the restaurant." | |

The framing device of The Strange Case of Starship Iris is a tyrannical interstellar regime listening in on the conversations of a crew of seditious smugglers via ancient alien nanomachines in their blood. In the second season, they figure it out and the captain directly tells the regime's agents that she will bring them down. Later on they start actively trolling the surveillance team with false confessions that the regime has to waste resources investigating, and several hours of drunken singing and narrations of alien soap operas. | |

The Boys (2019) "Proper Preparation And Planning". Furious that Homelander has turned up at her house and is making claims on their son, Rebecca Butcher goes to the guardhouse and demands he be thrown out (given that Homelander has superpowers, no-one is willing to do so). A monitor in the guardhouse shows there are cameras inside her house. Homelander is shown looking directly at one, and later makes it clear that he heard everything she said thanks to his superhearing. Anika and Black Noir spend most of "Nothing Like It In The World" using Facial Recognition Software to track down Billy Butcher. They finally catch him climbing over the wall at a high-security Vought facility, whereupon he turns and defiantly flips the bird at the camera. |

Subverted in The Truman Show. He stares into his bathroom mirror (which has a camera inside), leading two people in the studio to believe that they've been discovered... until he draws a space helmet with soap and acts like an astronaut (in a Call Back to the intro where he pretends to be a mountaineer). Then it gets Double Subverted as he says, "that one's for free", implying that he knows he's being watched. The two men in the studio don't know what to think. | |

Dreamscape. While Alex Gardner is in a room by himself being watched through a one way mirror, he uses a pen to write "Let's get on with it" on the mirror. It isn't clear whether he was using his psychic powers or was just familiar with Dr. Novotny's methods from their past relationship. He effortlessly writes it backwards, to appear the right way around on the other side of the glass. This at least hints he might've gone through this process before. |

Atomic Blonde. When Lorraine is being debriefed by MI6 she wants to know why C (the head of MI6) isn't present, and she's told that he's too busy to attend. Lorraine doesn't believe it for a moment and addresses the two-way mirror several times to address C, who is in fact behind it. When Lorraine wants CIA agent Kurzfeld removed from the debriefing, he volunteers to go behind the mirror "but it could get a little crowded back there." | |

Iron Fist (2017). Danny Rand sneaks into the guarded building where Madame Gao is being held. There's a monitor showing the room she's imprisoned in, and the moment Danny sees it she stands up, walks over to the camera and speaks directly to him. We don't see if there's a similar monitor inside her cell or she's somehow using her powers. | |

Thundercats 1985: The Sword of Omens' Sight Beyond Sight ability allows Lion-O to see anything happening in the present, usually who needs his help and where. Unsurprisingly, there are multiple instances where his Arch-Enemy Mumm-Ra, knowing Lion-O will be using the sword to look for the friends that have just been captured, speak directly to him when he does so, taunting Lion-O to come and get him. Since the other Thundercats know Lion-O can see them when they're in danger, it's unsurprising that Lion-O sees Tygra calling out "Lion-O... Lion-O..." when the latter's locked in a Death Trap in "The Fireballs of Plun-darr." |

Golgo 13: In "Telepath", Duke Togo has a Not So Stoic moment when he fires at a target...and misses for the first time in his life because a woman pushed the target out of the way. She then turns and looks directly at where Togo is looking through the sniper scope. Turns out the woman has Psychic Powers. A moviemaker decides to make a movie about Duke Togo carrying out an assassination. He has an Oh, Crap! moment when Togo pauses while getting into a taxi to look directly at them, but his DOP assures him that at the distance they are filming, their camera will be too small to make out. Whether or not Togo did see them is unclear, but he picks up enough clues to work out what's going on anyway. The manga story "Eye Of God" has Duke do this with a spy satellite. An ambitious CIA photo analyst hatched a scheme to photograph Golgo during an assassination to turn him into a Boxed Crook; unfortunately, Golgo realizes what's going on from the times and places he's asked to meet with the analyst and to perform the assassination. |

Red Dead Redemption had a cutscene during the Dutch Van der Linde arc, initially from the perspective from a pair of binoculars from an overlooking cliff, where Dutch drags a prisoner into the open and executes him. The camera cuts to John being the viewer, and then cuts back to Dutch looking back up at John aiming his pistol up at him. A single improbable shot at range from a pistol hits the binoculars in John's hands, knocking him to the ground. Dutch simply smiles and continues on his way. | |

NCIS: A subversion appears when Gibbs has Abby's latest stalker in the interrogation room. The obsessed young man starts talking to the one-way glass, pleading for Abby to admit she loves him and can't take her eyes off him. Gibbs gets up to leave, and flips on the lights in the next room as he goes. This negates the glass's one-way properties, revealing that the room behind it is completely vacant. In Swan Song, Mike Franks steps outside for a minute, and when it starts raining, reveals he knows full well he's not alone out there... and that he knows exactly who's watching him: Jonas Cobb, the Port-to-Port Killer. Mike subsequently becomes Cobb's next-to-last victim, but not without wounding him first. In Devil's Trifecta, Gibbs' and Fornell's ex-wife Diane is being interrogated by DiNozzo. She knows her exes are on the other side of the mirror and yells at them. |

Superman: In Supergirl (2005): Girl Power, the Calculator is monitoring Supergirl under Lex Luthor's orders. At one point, she glares straight in the direction of the camera the Calculator is using to watch her, which is enough for him to freak out in a Spit Take. The Killers of Krypton: After defeating her clones, Kara stares upwards, right at Harry Hokum's flagship hovering out of the atmosphere and snarls his name. Hokum, who was watching the battle, realizes she has somehow seen him, and starts sweating. In a comic, Clark Kent is in a police interrogation room, staring straight ahead with a smile on his face. (He, of course, is looking through the two-way mirror with his X-ray vision and listening to the conversation with his super-hearing...) |

Star Trek: The Original Series In "Where No Man Has Gone Before", a crewman developing godlike ESP powers has this moment while Kirk and Spock are watching him on a monitor from the bridge. In "The Corbomite Maneuver", Spock thinks he can get a peek inside the vast alien vessel that's threatening to destroy them. They do so and are shocked to see a hideous alien who then replies, "Having permitted your primitive efforts to see my form, I trust it has pleased your curiosity." Turns out the alien actually resembles a small humanoid child, and it was letting them see a mock-up in the hope of frightening them. |

At the beginning of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, going through some vents you can eavesdrop on Roxanne Wolf psyching herself up after her performance. Linger too long, and she'll mention that she knows you're there. Luckily, she's too anxious at the moment to go after you. It's justified - she has X-Ray Vision. |

The interrogation room glass version happens in Dracula 2000. As the detectives behind the glass have just been smirking over Solina's "delusion" that she's a vampire, they're noticeably freaked out when she shouts, "Look at me when I'm talking to you!" She then continues to screw around with their minds, making them more freaked out. | |

Dredd: An Invoked Trope when the Chief Judge wants Cassandra Anderson to demonstrate her Psychic Powers by stating how many people are watching her from the other side of the two way mirror. When Kay is arrested by Dredd and Anderson, he's show glancing upwards as he's led off. We then cut to Clan Techie who notices the trashed state of the drug den on his monitors and replays the video to show what happened to Kay, including a shot of Kay looking directly at the camera because he knows Techie is watching and will inform Ma-Ma. |

At the beginning of Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach, going through some vents you can eavesdrop on Roxanne Wolf psyching herself up after her performance. Linger too long, and she'll mention that she knows you're there. Luckily, she's too anxious at the moment to go after you. It's justified - she has X-Ray Vision. | |

Spriggan. In "The Crystal Skull", Yu Ominae takes down several goons from a neo-Nazi organization. It's shown that a camera drone is recording all of this, and we cut to the neo-Nazi leader reviewing the footage with his Co-Dragons. They're not impressed...until the footage shows Yu suddenly turn and throw his pistol to knock the drone out of the sky. The manga version has Yu take out a high-tech camera with specialized camera lenses that can zoom at long distances. | |

Chernobyl: After an imported West German drone breaks down in four seconds due to government higher-ups again prioritizing ass-covering over actually containing the disasternote They told the West Germans the radiation level was at a withstandable 2,000 roentgen (the "propaganda number") rather than the breaks-everything-more-complex-than-a-lightswitch 12,000 roentgen, Shcherbina tears them a new one over the phone: | |

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Bruce Wayne has stolen some files on metahumans from Lex Luthor, including one on a woman he's just met called Diana Prince. They include a surveillance photo taken from across the street, except Diana is looking directly at the camera, and a CCTV shot where she looks up at the camera. However it's the one posed photograph that freaks out Bruce Wayne, because it was taken during World War One and Diana hasn't aged a day. | |

Person of Interest A Justified Trope because the Machine is ALWAYS watching, as it's an AI capable of hacking into every CCTV camera in the country. One of the villains does this at the end of "Risk". Our heroes have just thwarted a massive financial scam, and Detective Carter is told that the corrupt SEC investigator involved has committed suicide. Puzzled because she saw him being arrested, Carter checks CCTV footage of the arrest. It shows a police officer putting the SEC man into his squad car, turning to look directly at the camera, then leaving a mobile phone in a garbage can for her to find. When they dial the only number in the phone's memory, they're connected with Diabolical Mastermind Elias, who it's now revealed is behind the entire scam. |

The Wire: Avon Barksdale and Stringer Bell are very Properly Paranoid about being listened to, so they prefer Spy Speak when talking business. When Omar meets with Stringer to supposedly bury the hatchet on their ongoing war while wearing a wire, Bell carefully avoids ever using any language that suggests crime, and when Omar asks him if "Barksdale agrees with this", Bell just says "I don't know anybody named Barksdale". Later, when Bodie goes to talk with Bell about the police telling them about the new Free Zone, Bell's first instinct is to turn 90 degrees to the side and tell Bodie "you shouldn't be selling drugs" to which the frustrated Bodie responds by lifting his shirt and starts to undo his pants before Bell relents. Marlo Stanfield becomes aware that he is being watched, so he takes a phonecall in plain view, saying he's going to "pick up the skinny girl from New York" to see if the police take the bait, which they do, detaining him and an innocent random woman Marlo offers to carry the bags for at the train station. |

Tributes usually refrain from doing this in The Hunger Games (don't want to interrupt the in-universe audience's fun by ruining the Willing Suspension of Disbelief, after all), but there are exceptions. In the first book, Katniss thanks the people of District 11 for their gift of bread. In the second, while suffering the painful after-effects of the Capital's last trap, she yells, "Hey, Haymitch, if you're not too drunk, we could really use something for our skin!" Johanna's the one who really breaks the rules, though, when she loudly taunts the Capital about uprisings. Katniss knows they would have edited that out and no one in the audience saw it, but the Gamemakers and President sure did... | |

Highlander has a lower-tech version. While Brenda is out of the room looking for her earrings, Connor discovers a hidden gun ("I like your place!"), a cop sitting in a car outside on surveillance ("Interesting view!"), and a hidden tape recorder ("What was that?" *directly into mic* "I said interesting view!"). | |

I'm On Observation Duty: The Intruder anomalies you can spot from the security cameras will ominously begin facing the camera after you've reported them in order to remove them from the scene. They sometimes don't take it well. A few of them will do this automatically over time, and if those Intruder anomalies are left active for too long, they'll end the game by force. | |

Number 6 has done this more than a few times on The Prisoner (1967), but in the episode Hammer Into Anvil, he managed to convince the Number 2 of the week of a non-existent conspiracy against him by doing basically nothing but variations on this trope, such as leaving envelopes containing blank pieces of paper in remote locations, knowing they'd be found and mistaken for coded messages, and engaging in meaningless small talk with people in hushed tones, knowing that it would be seen and mistaken for Spy Speak. Every time Number 2's underlings failed to find any hidden message, Number 2 became convinced that they were hiding it from him on account of being part of the conspiracy. | |

The Murderbot Diaries In "Rogue Protocol", Murderbot has hacked into a security drone to spy on a human expedition and their 'pet robot' Miki whom it's not impressed with...until Miki looks in the drone's direction, then tries to ping whoever it is that's observing them. In "Network Effect", Dr. Mensah is arguing for Murderbot to be brought along as security, conceding that the SecUnit does have its faults...such as how it's listening in on them right now. Murderbot denies doing so and quickly stops hacking her feed. Given that Murderbot is always doing this, Mensah was just playing the odds on that one. |
