Villains are evil, and making a Deal with the Devil is always a bad idea, but despite this, they still have a tendency to follow through with their deals. Sure, they will twist the terms to screw over their client, but they won't be outright dishonest and refuse to follow through on their end, because Villains Never Lie. Except when they do. This Stock Phrase is uttered in response to an expression of shock at a broken promise of leniency or forgiveness. For example, the Big Bad has kidnapped the Love Interest and is holding them Hostage for MacGuffin, and the hero arrives, having over the MacGuffin. This line is then spoken by the villain (or a particularly unmerciful and unscrupulous hero) just before making off with/killing the hostage anyway, blowing up the Doomed Hometown, using the Doomsday Device, or some other act of merciless badness that they specifically said they would not do. Sometimes spoken just after, with a smirk and a smoking gun. This action is commonly done by Neutral Evil characters. Generally speaking, anyone who says this is lining up that puppy between the goal posts or even about to perform their defining act of depravity and has, in any case, revealed their cruelest colors. Expect them to rub it in with Evil Gloating, asking the heroes "Did you actually believe me when I said..." For some reason, this often seems to take the heroes by surprise, even when the speaker has an extensive history of villainy. Sometimes used by a former bad guy who's made a Heel–Face Turn - made the offer to rejoin Team Evil, they calmly accept, or perhaps pretend to seriously contemplate the offer, shocking any listening heroes, and about three seconds later proceed to kick ass on the side of good, taking everybody by surprise. The bad guy looks up at them and protests, "You said you're on our side!" The former bad guy says, "Yeah. I lied." Usually said with dripping irony, which tends to fall a little flat if the speaker doesn't at least put a new spin on the phrase. May be accompanied by a Lying Finger Cross. Compare Empty Promise and Blatant Lies, and contrast Villains Never Lie. Also contrast Exact Words, where the liar actually makes it look like he was telling the truth in a different way to get what (s)he wants anyways. Also see Schmuck Bait, where the liar doesn't even have to talk. Moving the Goalposts is a downplayed and (usually) less evil version. As well, an antihero may utter this phrase, particularly if they have promised the bad guy, such as an abductor, they won't harm him if he tells them where the victim is hidden. One the anti-hero is confident they know what they need to know, they may say this, and then throw them off a cliff (or otherwise dispatch them). |

In Sunrider: Mask of Arcadius, the titular villain makes a deal with the king of Ryuvia: marry off the king’s only daughter to Arcadius, and he will spare Ryuvia from a PACT invasion and guarantee the planet some measure of autonomy within his empire. The very instant that the wedding ceremony is complete, Arcadius shoots the king, mocks him for thinking that their agreement was worth a damn, and annexes the planet anyway. | |

The second issue of the four part miniseries that started Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) has Robotnik doing this to Sally when she meets with him to bargain for his father's life. As it turns out, Sally had anticipated this and the real plan was to get an analysis of the roboticizer. This plan was screwed up when Sonic rescued her because Sally didn't bother to tell anyone besides Rotor the plan. | |

In the second episode of K, wandering swordsman Kuroh Yatogami has tracked down Yashiro Isana, the teenager caught on video committing the crime, and is about to kill him, when Shiro asks him for one final request. He wants Kuroh to give a farewell letter to his little sister, who's been in the hospital her whole life and has no one but Shiro, so she'll be completely alone once Kuroh kills him. Her name? Ummm, uhh... Marilyn - no, wait, Mari! Mari Isana! And Kuroh still believes him after that. But when he hands Kuroh the paper, Kuroh opens it to see... a little doodle of Shiro giving a thumbs-up and a wink, with a speech bubble that says, "I lied!". Shiro then sets off a few fireworks he had in his bag and escapes. | |

In the first issue of Miracleman, Miracleman's transformation caused a terrorist guarding him to be deafened and suffer third-degree burns. In the second issue, the sinister Dr. Cream visits the terrorist in the hospital hoping to get clues as to Miracleman's identity. As the man is deaf, Cream has to use a pen and pad to communicate. He promises not to kill him if he cooperates and the terrorist agrees. After telling all, the last thing the man sees is a note reading "I was lying." | |

Bleach: In chapter 414, we found out that the ever Affably Evil Gin Ichimaru lied about his Bankai in his amazingly simple watch-and-wait ploy to kill Big Bad Aizen. Did we mention that he has probably been plotting this for over a CENTURY and broke the Explaining Your Power to the Enemy rule, as well as being in complete violation of the Big Bad's Complexity Addiction? Aizen spent at least as long telling the rest of the soul society that his Zanpakuto just dazzled opponents with pretty reflections. At one point, Ichigo points out that one of Aizen's claims directly contradicts something he said before, which means he's lying. Aizen's response is to ask Ichigo why he assumes that Aizen wasn't lying back then. |

Gollum/Sméagol does this in the film version of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The variation here is the Split Personality. Frodo always knew that "Gollum" couldn't be trusted, but he thought that "Sméagol" would keep his word to obey him.note Peter Jackson said in the DVD Commentary that they put that line in so it would be clear to the audience that neither side of the split personality could be trusted (since Sméagol had snapped and gone as crazy as Gollum) and thus make Sméagol/Gollum's Karmic Death acceptable. When Sméagol turns on Frodo near the end, they have this exchange: | |

While not outright said, an example does happen in The Mummy (1999), the heroes get cornered by a mob of Imhotep's followers. Imhotep offers (through Beni translating for him) that if Evey comes with him (to be sacrificed), he will spare her friends. They accept the offer, believing that Rick, Johnathan and Ardeth Bay, will live to fight the day after so that they can rescue her later. Unfortunately, once she's in hand, Imhotep orders in ancient Egyptian to his followers to kill the rest of them. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Riza Hawkeye says this to Envy as she shoots him — after she rooted him out by claiming that she and Colonel Roy Mustang, the latter of whom Envy disguised himself as, were on a First-Name Basis. In the last chapter, Greed is about to be absorbed into Father, and wants to cut Ling Yao's soul loose so that Ling, at least, isn't sucked up into it as well. Ling argues that they should fight Father's pull together, and Greed appears to agree, before sucker punching Ling and setting him loose. Ling protests that Greed said he never lies, to which Greed responds: "That was my first, and last, lie. If you're going to be Emperor one day, you have to stop being so gullible." |

In 8-Bit Theater: When confronted with Chaos, Red Mage asks to have some time to prepare for their battle, in order to stall. He tells them to take as much time as they need. Then he adds, "As long as it only takes 24 hours." When Red Mage questions this, he responds "I'm Chaos!" Not long before this, Black Mage gets his own moment. Shocking nobody except Black Mage, Muffin was lying about its invisible castle. |

Dr. Insano gets his own variation of Darth Vader's classic example in Kickassia. He's a Card-Carrying Villain with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder, so nobody's too surprised. After seemingly defeating N. Bison, he tries to turn Kickassia into Insania. While he's distracted by all his double-crossing, his opponent turns out to be Not Quite Dead. | |

Mortal Kombat 11 has a heroic example in the end of the Aftermath storyline. Fire God Liu Kang seemingly stays behind so Shang Tsung can defeat Kronika and take her crown to reshape time itself. Right before he does, Liu Kang shows up to confront him, and that's when Shang Tsung realizes he's been played all this time. Another person like this is Sindel, who also was revived as an Edenian and reunited with her daughter Kitana, only to reveal later that she was [1]. She not only lied to Shokan about Sheeva's defeat, but she lied to Kitana about her husband Jerrod's murder caused by Sindel herself as well as her backstory. |

As Badger drones on, Rat sardonically comments to Mole that it's pointless, because Toad will say anything, and sure enough, as soon as the duo comes back with Toad having promised to change, Toad announces he was lying and will gleefully go off in the first motorcar he lays eyes on.

Deverry: A rare completely heroic example occurs late in the cycle. Nevyn, in pursuit of the Big Bad, makes a deal with a pack of Elite Mooks, who make a big play of how they always keep their word, no matter what. Having bargained with them to get his hands on an artefact linked to the Big Bad, he then catches a Brick thrown four books earlier, (he's one of the few Light Sorcerers who didn't swear an oath always to tell the truth) and so he can set them all on fire. | |

Quixote stops him and orders him to promise to never do that again and to pay the boy a fair wage. As soon as Quixote leaves, Haduldo angrily says he has no obligation to obey a promise made to some old coot and resumes flogging the boy and not paying him. When Andrés meets Quixote again, he calls him out on not keeping tabs on them or even contacting the authorities to enforce the promise. Quixote had assumed that all men would never break a promise. | |

Power Rangers in Space: Stated word-for-word during the Psycho Rangers' arc by Psycho Yellow, after she betrays Psycho Pink: For the Power Rangers series overall, it's honestly easier to list all the times where a villain hasn't pulled this trope on the titular heroes. The first well-known instance is in the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers when the heroes' parents and friends are abducted and Goldar demands that they hand over their Power Coins in exchange for their lives. The Rangers comply, only for Goldar to smugly tell them that they were fools to trust his word and saying that since he intends to destroy the world, there's no reason to give back their parents. If it hadn't been for his forgetting about Tommy's Dragon Power Coin, the Rangers would've been done for. In the Turbo movie, the space pirate Divatox gives the ultimatum "trade Larigot for your friends (Jason and Kimberly) or I'll destroy them". The result goes about as well as the above with Goldar; Divatox shoots torpedos at the rangers and takes Larigot without giving anyone back. |

He tortures her, bargains for information, then sends her back to burn in hell with this trope. Abaddon, a demon in one of the later seasons, is really fond of using this trope. On several occasions she forces someone into a bargain by taking their friends captive, but will decide to kill everyone anyway after getting what she wants. |

Khun does this twice to Edin Dan, always using his new catch phrase: "You should trust trustworthy people."note and Khun can only be trusted to be awesome Basically, it's "I lied, but I also lied about the details when I told you I lied," leading to a Kansas City Shuffle. On the Hidden Floor, Chungnote who's a kind of all-powerful administrator in the virtual world had locked Batis away for defying him but given him some bullets that could supposedly even kill Chung himself, to offer Batis a cruel hope for doing what he'd never be able to do. When Batis finally gets out and eventually lands a hit on Chung, Chung reveals he'd even lied about that — the bullet going right through his head has no effect. |

One case where this Trope actually saved a man's life: In The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #318-319, the Scorpion was hired by Justin Hammer to kidnap General Musgrave, an Army Intelligence Officer at a ceremony. Spidey intervened, but it looked like Scorpion would get away with his hostage, until he found out Lance Bannon was taking some great photos of the fight, meaning the fight was helping J. Jonah Jameson (a guy the Scorpion absolutely hated). He changed his mind and said he would kill Musgrave unless Jameson surrendered to him in an hour. Jameson refused to cooperate (mostly because he had been kidnapped and replaced by the Chameleon during this time) but when the hour was up, the Scorpion changed his mind again, and bolted, taking Debevick with him, leading to this: | |

Another (mostly) heroic version; Brenda Johnson of The Closer often lies to her suspects about all the crimes they're being charged with until after she's gotten their confession, but in a Season 6 episode she actually says the trope title. She tells the perp that his drive-by shooting didn't hurt anyone, but if he confessed to the crime and explained why he tried to have the target killed, the LAPD wouldn't arrest him for the property damage caused by the shooting. He confesses, she reveals that three US Army soldiers were killed, and that he'd be getting the death penalty. Her "I lied" when he shouted that she said nobody was injured was positively gloating. | |

When they parodied Supergirl (2015), an attempt to kill the protagonist by driving into her with a Jeep made of kryptonite fails when it falls apart before even reaching her. Following this, Livewire, who was tasked with the backup plan of giving Supergirl a kryptonite vibrator as a present so she'd kill herself using it, gives her what Livewire claims is just a regular vibrator with glow-in-the-dark paint. After being coerced into accepting it, she uses it one night and dies because Livewire lied and it really was kryptonite. | |

Spoiler says tells Secret she lied after suggesting that Spoiler's boyfriend Robin had talked about Secret a lot. Secret, having a crush on Robin, had found the idea pleasing but Steph is irritated by Secret's behavior towards herself and Tim and picked a petty way to get back at her. | |

When O-Chul guesses correctly and Lien asks if that means they can go, she replies "Ha ha, no. Good to know that no matter how old you get, you never really forget how to lie to a paladin!" When Redcloak admits what the ritual to be used on the Snarl does. Right before murdering Tsukiko. |

While it's not the exact phrase, similar things are naturally said countless times in Liar Game, both when the villains reveal that they were just manipulating the good guys, and when the good guys pull a fast one over the villains.

In Persona 4, during Yumi's version of the Sun Social Link, at one session of drama club, a fellow student runs in and tells Yumi that her mother collapsed. When Yumi gets to the hospital, she learns that her mother is fine, but that her father was hospitalized, and her mother admits that she lied in order to get Yumi to see her father before she dies. Yumi is furious with her mother, but mainly because she's bitter about her mother looking after the man who abandoned her and Yumi for another woman, who then abandoned him while he was dying. | |

On Night of Champions 2010, Chris Jericho participated in a Six-man elimination match for the WWE Championship with a personal promise that, should he fail to win, he will leave WWE for good. Naturally, when he quickly lost during the match, the 'net was in an uproar since that was not the way for someone as popular as Jericho to go... then he appeared on the next episode on WWE Raw with this little message on his Twitter account. Only to actually leave two weeks later via Randy Orton's patented punt to the head. |

She covers her eyes and loudly recites all 47 prefectures of Japan to avoid looking at or hearing the TV. Yokoe soothingly reassures her that the commercial is over. It isn't. As Kei yells with fright at a stringy-haired ghost girl, an overly pleased-with-herself Yokoe clenches her fist triumphantly and declares "I lied." | |

Tony himself got one in during the climax of the Armor Wars storyline. After beating down Firepower in their rematch, Iron Man has to disable Firepower's nuclear missile, which is trapped in his damaged backpack. Firepower begs Iron Man to free him from his armor first, but Tony tells him he can't. After shutting down the nuke, Firepower gets one last taunt in, prompting Tony to tear Firepower's helmet off. When the pilot questions why he told him he couldn't get him out before, Tony simply told him, "I lied." Cue Oh, Crap! face from Firepower. |

A later book has the computer SIM. When everything went wrong, it kept telling Zak to get to its main computer room and input some codes to remove its Restraining Bolt, and that it could help him then. Zak kept not doing it, and his sister ended up locked in a room with the air being slowly vented out. SIM told Zak it would only be able to open that door when he input those codes. Guess what happened when he did. | |

Tales of Symphonia: Zelos ends up uttering a variant of the line when he takes a Face–Heel Turn and betrays the party to Yggdrassil during the climax. In all but one of the endings, the line gets a reprise when it turned out he was a Fake Defector and betrays Yggdrassil to the party's benefit. Earlier in the game, Lloyd invokes this trope in conversation with Colette for a different reason. He brings her a cup of coffee, which she notes to be pleasantly hot. Lloyd chides her, informing Colette that the coffee is iced. Flustered, she comments on the "cool" drink, only for Lloyd to reveal the coffee was always hot: "I lied...". This exchange confirms Lloyd's suspicion that Colette has lost her sense of touch. |

At the climax, he singlehandedly stops two hitmen with a proficient display of marksmanship.

The Thrawn Trilogy: In Dark Force Rising, Grand Admiral Thrawn speaks to ex-Imperial-agent Mara Jade about the location of the long-lost Katana fleet; she doesn't know it, but her current boss does. Thrawn tells her that she has a few days to go get the coordinates and lets her get back to her ship and rendezvous with her boss, but he plants a tracking device on her, shows up just after she does, and captures him. Mara is furious; Thrawn is coldly practical, and calmly states that he changed his mind on their deal. This ultimately works very much against Thrawn, as it this incident is what turns Mara against the Empire for good, making this one of the few times he succumbs to the Villain Ball. | |

A New Hope: The scene where Leia bluffs about the location of the rebel base and Tarkin immediately orders the destruction of her home planet, telling her she is "far too trusting". On the other hand, Tarkin said he would blow up Alderaan if she did not tell him the base's location. He never said that he would not blow up Alderaan if Leia did tell him the location. Reversed a few minutes later when Tarkin is absolutely shocked to learn Leia lied about that location. Vader responds with "I told you she would never consciously betray the rebellion, unless she thought she could destroy us in the process." Given what he had done earlier, he should've known that was coming. (Well, there was a Rebel base there. Just not an active one.) |

In an example of an actual good guy doing this, WWE's Eddie Guerrero (RIP) would do this all the time as part of his "lie, cheat, steal" gimmick. Usually he would enter into a match with a heel, promising not to cheat during the match. Then, when he won as a result of cheating and was called out on it, he would shout to his opponent, "I lied, homes!" causing the audience to roar with approval. | |

One Piece: 25 years ago, Kaido and Orochi made a deal with Oden that if he danced naked in the streets once a week for five years, they would not kidnap and sell the citizens of Wano into slavery and would leave once the five years were up. Only, they never intended to fulfill this promise, something made clear once the five years were up. As Kaido explained, they didn't have the manpower to take on Oden and his followers head-on at the time, so they tricked Oden into a deal that would allow them to accumulate their forces before attacking him. Oden being made to degrade himself and drag his name through the mud was an added bonus. | |

Sisterhood Series by Fern Michaels: Believe it or not, the heroes (anti-heroes may be a better term) use this a number of times on the villains! The Vigilantes used this on the bad guys in Final Justice. Jack Emery, and Harry Wong at least pull this on a pedophile polygamist sheriff and his two deputies in Under The Radar. Jack made an offer that the first one who told them what they needed to know would be set free. Deputy Clyde took the offer and told them everything he knew. When he was done, he said that he told them everything he knew and now they have to keep their word. Jack does not release him, and states that he will be set free, but Jack didn't say where! Clearly, the intention is to put them in prison where they belong! Deputy Clyde was unhappy, and he mouthed off some racist remarks at Harry Wong, resulting in him being knocked out. | |

Fate/Zero: Lord Kayneth is given a geas, in which it states that he and his wife shall not be harmed by Kiritsugu in any way should he accept the conditions, which is to have his Servant commit suicide. Lord Kayneth, who was dealt a grievous wound in a former battle, accepts. After the death of his Servant, Lord Kayneth and his wife are shot dead by Maiya, a henchman of Kiritsugu, who is not covered by his geas. | |

Trick or... Trapped!: At one point, you can end up in a fight with a crazed pirate who wants to kill you for getting too friendly with his pet ghost. He says that he will spare your life if you give him an apple, which is his favorite food. If you do have the apple with you, you can give it to him like he says. It doesn't matter though, because he goes back on his word and kills you anyway. Prick. | |

In Baroque, the Coffin Man pulls a decidedly non-villainous one of these on the protagonist (and the player). In one of his Tutorial Dungeons, after teaching you the basics of combat, he announces that there are a whole lot of tough Meta-Beings on the next floor, so you'd better be prepared! Once you descend to the next floor, you find it empty, and the Coffin Man laughingly says, "I'm a liar." | |

Done humorously on the Father Ted episode "A Christmassy Ted". An award hungry priest decides to pose as another priest named Father Todd Unctious (even stealing Todd's clothes which Ted notes was pointless since he was already a priest) to get close to Ted to steal his recently won Golden Cleric award. Once caught he asks the police officer present to if everything he says is off the record. The officer agrees so he delivers a full confession. The officer after reveals that it was a lie and it was all in fact on the record, much to the thief's disappointment. | |

Game of Thrones: Littlefinger says "I did warn you not to trust me," when he proves why. This is actually a Double Subversion as Littlefinger was being perfectly honest when he warned Ned not to trust him. Still, he was relying on Ned falling for a Sarcastic Confession. Reek delivers the promise of safe conduct to the Ironborn garrison at Moat Cailin if they surrender. Unfortunately, Ramsay is a man of tradition and has a bad habit of flaying people he promised to spare. Polliver tells the injured Lommy that he'll carry him, then sinks a sword in Lommy's throat. |

He tricks the villainess Deathbird trying to take the Shi'ar throne from her sister Lilandra by promising to kill said sister, but instead captures one of Lilandra's bodyguards, Oracle, for her psychic abilities. Later in the same four-partner, after Apocalypse unveils the full omnicidal extent of his evil plan, he admits he was pulling Magneto's leg with empty promises to get him on his side temporarily. |

Spider-Man: One case where this Trope actually saved a man's life: In The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #318-319, the Scorpion was hired by Justin Hammer to kidnap General Musgrave, an Army Intelligence Officer at a ceremony. Spidey intervened, but it looked like Scorpion would get away with his hostage, until he found out Lance Bannon was taking some great photos of the fight, meaning the fight was helping J. Jonah Jameson (a guy the Scorpion absolutely hated). He changed his mind and said he would kill Musgrave unless Jameson surrendered to him in an hour. Jameson refused to cooperate (mostly because he had been kidnapped and replaced by the Chameleon during this time) but when the hour was up, the Scorpion changed his mind again, and bolted, taking Debevick with him, leading to this: In part one of The Death of Jean DeWolff, Peter witnesses a group of thugs assault and rob an old man who also happens to be one of his aunt's neighbors. He confronts them as Spider-Man and it is quite clear they are more terrified of him than the helpless elderly person they'd just beat up. Spider-Man offers them a free shot at him which they take only for him to dodge and knock them out while stating this trope word for word. |

The Commando example (see Films, above) is also parodied in Robot Chicken: In a Peter Pan sketch, specifically featuring the peanut butter brand named after him, Captain Hook claims that he has a peanut allergy to get Pan's guard down, then stabs him with his hook and says that he lied. When they parodied Supergirl (2015), an attempt to kill the protagonist by driving into her with a Jeep made of kryptonite fails when it falls apart before even reaching her. Following this, Livewire, who was tasked with the backup plan of giving Supergirl a kryptonite vibrator as a present so she'd kill herself using it, gives her what Livewire claims is just a regular vibrator with glow-in-the-dark paint. After being coerced into accepting it, she uses it one night and dies because Livewire lied and it really was kryptonite. |

A rare heroic version in Final Fantasy Adventure. Robot Buddy Marcie is with the hero on a collapsing tower, but the way to the final dungeon is before them. She offers to throw the hero and jump after him, which the hero agrees to. However, once the hero across safely and asks Marcie to jump, Marcie admits to its lie - it chose to lie because the hero would have wasted too much time trying to save Marcie if he knew the truth, and both would have died in the tower collapse. | |

A rare heroic example: in Ninjago, Lessons For a Master, Wu had - at swordpoint and to spare the ninja - been going along with the Iron Baron's belief that wearing the Dragon Armor would let him control the dragon Firstbourne, when the armor had no such power. As Wu puts it, he learned "the power of a lie" from the Iron Baron, shortly before Firstbourne - a friend of Wu's father, who extends that friendship to Wu - roasts the Iron Baron. | |

In Masters of the Universe, Skeletor won. He got He-Man to surrender, give up his sword, let himself be tortured, because he left He-Man's friends back on Earth. Said friends found their way back to Eternia and attacked Skeletor's forces, and when they attacked back He-Man shouts that Skeletor promised not to hurt them. The weird thing here is that technically, Skeletor did honor his part and his forces are actually defending themselves. However, Skeletor is drunk with power at this point so fulfilled this trope just to fulfill it. (He's evil). Which galvanizes He-Man to kill him. Whups! | |

In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, at the end of Nagito Komaeda's Free Time Events, he claims to have Stage 3 malignant lymphoma, along with frontotemporal dementia. After telling his story, he claims to have read it all in a book in order to gain sympathy from Hajime. It's unclear whether this is a lie or he abruptly changed his mind and backed off of the story. | |

Doctor Who: "The Runaway Bride": The Doctor, to Donna, regarding the TARDIS and its status as a time machine. "The Next Doctor": "Planet of the Dead": Christina, right before kissing the Doctor: Practically River Song's catch phrase. The Eleventh Doctor gets in on the action a lot, too. Basically, any time River and Eleven are on screen together, they're lying to each other, to the companions, and to you. Rule #1: The Doctor Lies. "The Time of Angels": Rory and his dad in "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship", in an almost exact mirror of the River-Amy scene. Which shows where River got it from. Again by the Doctor to Clara in "The Name of the Doctor". |

After Hardrock has left, Limburger orders the group killed and we get this exchange: | |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: In the Virtual Nightmare Arc, after the Big Five have stolen Tristan's body, they duel Yugi and Joey, wagering it against theirs. After the heroes are victorious and Yugi demands they return it, Lector (who's directing it at the moment) tells them, "You must have mistaken me for someone who keeps his word." (All five of them try to attack the heroes physically then, but Noah stops them.) In the dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Leo convinces Luna, Tanner, and Yanagi to seek help from Akiza and the Arcadia Movement. Sayer, the movement's leader, invites them in under the pretense of helping them face the Dark Signer threat. In reality, he only wanted to see if Leo had any potential as a Psychic Duelist like he believed her sister did. When Leo wakes up, leg chained to the ground in preparation for a psychic duel test, he questions why Sayer isn't going about what he promised to do. Sayer's response? |

Professor Layton and the Unwound Future features Dimitri Allen's picross map. He gave it to Layton, telling him that the map, when marked, showed the location of the infrared sensors he rigged the building with. However, after solving the picross map, turning the map 180 degrees reveals that all you did was spell LIE upside down. Layton isn't entirely surprised, as he concludes that while Dmitri has done some less-than-moral things in pursuit of his (well-intentioned) goal, he isn't willing to kill people.The European version (...and the Lost Future) has a slightly different puzzle, but the effect is the same. Dimitri claims to have set bombs in the Thames Arms, and gives you the map and challenges you to find them before they go off. The locations of the alleged "bombs" spell out exactly how much time you have left: infinity. | |

Star Wars Legends: The Thrawn Trilogy: In Dark Force Rising, Grand Admiral Thrawn speaks to ex-Imperial-agent Mara Jade about the location of the long-lost Katana fleet; she doesn't know it, but her current boss does. Thrawn tells her that she has a few days to go get the coordinates and lets her get back to her ship and rendezvous with her boss, but he plants a tracking device on her, shows up just after she does, and captures him. Mara is furious; Thrawn is coldly practical, and calmly states that he changed his mind on their deal. This ultimately works very much against Thrawn, as it this incident is what turns Mara against the Empire for good, making this one of the few times he succumbs to the Villain Ball. Galaxy of Fear: Planet Plague has the villain give Tash an injection of The Virus while in the guise of a doctor. Later, as she starts to succumb, she says he said it was a vaccine! Well, he lied. A later book has the computer SIM. When everything went wrong, it kept telling Zak to get to its main computer room and input some codes to remove its Restraining Bolt, and that it could help him then. Zak kept not doing it, and his sister ended up locked in a room with the air being slowly vented out. SIM told Zak it would only be able to open that door when he input those codes. Guess what happened when he did. New Jedi Order: Vergere. "When will you learn that everything I tell you is a lie?" She's more of a Trickster Mentor than anything else (at least, until Legacy of the Force retconned her into a Sith.) |

Mitsuki remarks that Hime told her classmates that she couldn't play. Hime replies with "Oh! so you were listening. That was a lie," before explaining that she kept it secret so that her classmates wouldn't try to have Hime replace Mitsuki for the piano accompaniment. Some time later, Hime offers to hang out with her classmates, but instead ditches them to spend time with Mitsuki. While in the room with Mitsuki, Hime then calls her classmates to let them know that has to look after the house, then tells Mitsuki that she lied to her classmates earlier. |

The catchphrase of the main character of Itsuwaribito, it's basically the whole point of the manga. | |

Dragonriders of Pern: In Weyr Search, the first novella, Lessa, the heiress to Ruatha Hold, schemes against evil Lord Fax who took the place by force when she was a child. Over the years she psychically maneuvers Ruatha to ruins, leading him to vow he'll renounce it in favor of his son, if any. Seeing Fax's wife Gemma die before giving birth, she announces a living son, leading dragonrider F'lar to kill Fax in a gruesome knife fight. When she reveals herself as the true heir, F'lar reminds her that Fax's son is now the heir. She says scornfully "Gemma died, the babe unborn. I lied!" (But she didn't. After she left Gemma dead, the midwife did a C-section and brought out a healthy boy.) | |

Tony himself got one in during the climax of the Armor Wars storyline. After beating down Firepower in their rematch, Iron Man has to disable Firepower's nuclear missile, which is trapped in his damaged backpack. Firepower begs Iron Man to free him from his armor first, but Tony tells him he can't. After shutting down the nuke, Firepower gets one last taunt in, prompting Tony to tear Firepower's helmet off. When the pilot questions why he told him he couldn't get him out before, Tony simply told him, "I lied." Cue Oh, Crap! face from Firepower. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Skin of Evil," Armus, the titular skin of evil, tells Troi that the Enterprise crew won't be coming back. Later... "Captain's Holiday": Beverly is trying to convince Captain Picard to take a vacation. Picard is adamant, and she tells him that it's going on a vacation that he hates, but once he gets there, he has a great time. She reminds him of him telling her about how he had a great time during his four days on Zytchin III, to which he replies "I lied." Given that he's trying to wheedle desperately out of the vacation, this itself is likely a lie. |
