The hero is about to undertake something that he must do on his own, leaving his Sidekick or support team behind. He plans to return in a certain period of time, but the contingency instructions are given to those left behind in case the unthinkable happens and he cannot come back to them. Usually he'll tell them to go on without him, or go for help. Occasionally, the hero will say "Tell my Love Interest I love them" and the Sidekick will reply "Tell them yourself." Phrasing may vary along the lines of "If I do not return," or "If I don't make it back", of course. In comedic situations, the hero will say "keep waiting" or "come rescue me" instead of "go on without me". In another semi-comedic variant, the hero's instructions may be something frivolous - willing a personal possession which is usually somehow comical to the other character, or telling them not to mess with the hero's stuff. If the hero doesn't say this, it may lead to If You Die, I Call Your Stuff anyway. May also lead to a Video Will firing off if the hero does not return. See also Wait Here and Dead Man Writing. Occasionally this line follows or leads into More Hero than Thou or More Expendable Than You (particularly if the sidekick or anti-villain ally feels the call of Redemption Equals Death). Contrast Planning for the Future Before the End and If We Get Through This…. Examples |

In The One Ring, this overlaps with Death as Game Mechanic: a Player Character can use a downtime phase to write a Letter of Farewell. If they die on the next adventure, the recipient gets a starting XP boost to Take Up the Sword. | |

Bones: Brennan wants to have a baby, and has asked Booth to donate the sperm for artificial insemination. He's ambivalent about it, and eventually says he doesn't want to donate if he won't be involved in raising the child; but when he goes in for Serious Brain Surgery he tells her "If I don't make it, I want you to have my stuff." | |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while placing the Master Sword back in its pedestal, Zelda is about to convey something she wants to tell the slumbering Link to the Great Deku Tree. However, the Deku Tree notes that something she wants to tell Link would sound better coming from her own lips, in a variant of the "tell him yourself" response. After Link sees this memory upon retrieving the Master Sword, the Deku Tree says Link must now go rescue Zelda to find out what exactly she wanted to say. It's implied to have been an Aborted Declaration of Love, given later revelations from the conclusion of Kass's quests that Princess Zelda "only had eyes for her appointed knight". | |

The Simpsons: In "Homer vs. the Eighteenth Ammendment", Homer starts telling Marge, "If we're not back, avenge our deaths" when he and Bart go out to deliver their brew. Marge agrees to do so. In "Homer Simpson: Kidney Trouble", Homer's father needed a kidney and Homer agreed to donate one. Out of fear he wouldn't survive the operation, Homer asked Marge to destroy the hospital if he didn't survive. Parodied in the "Treehouse of Horror XXVI" segment "Wanted: Dead, then Alive": After Bart is Impaled with Extreme Prejudice by Sideshow Bob's Harpoon Gun and gets his heart yanked out of his chest, he knows that he's dying and won't come back home, so he tells his Arch-Enemy his Last Request: "Tell my father... he's... fat..." |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Roy Mustang is entering Central Command to confide in a high-ranking general about what he's learned regarding the plot. He tells his right-hand woman/bodyguard Riza Hawkeye to wait for him, but that if anything goes wrong, she should get herself out. (She refuses, of course.) Not only does she refuse to get herself out, but she refuses to even let him go until he promises that he will come back alive. He does. When Buccaneer and a squad of Briggs soldiers are investigating the tunnel built by Sloth, they arrange for the tunnel to be sealed off after a set time, whether they come back or not (if they don't come back by then, they most likely got killed). They do manage to return to the tunnel entrance after an encounter with Pride, but after the agreed time, and are certain that Olivier has sealed off the tunnel. To their surprise, the entrance is still open. When they question the guard at the entrance after exiting, he tells them that their time hasn't expired, and shows them the broken watch Olivier gave him to prove it. It's worth noting that every single one of them understands exactly what she did, and why - they don't call her their "queen" for nothing. |

The Legend of Zelda: Zelda: The Wand Of Gamelon: "If you don't hear from me in a month, send Link!" In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, while placing the Master Sword back in its pedestal, Zelda is about to convey something she wants to tell the slumbering Link to the Great Deku Tree. However, the Deku Tree notes that something she wants to tell Link would sound better coming from her own lips, in a variant of the "tell him yourself" response. After Link sees this memory upon retrieving the Master Sword, the Deku Tree says Link must now go rescue Zelda to find out what exactly she wanted to say. It's implied to have been an Aborted Declaration of Love, given later revelations from the conclusion of Kass's quests that Princess Zelda "only had eyes for her appointed knight". |

In one episode of the original ThunderCats, Mumm-Ra tricks Lion-O and Tygra into fighting each other, triggering a curse which causes the Sword of Omens to break in half and lose its powers. Lion-O embarks on a dangerous mission to get the Sword reforged and says that, if he doesn't return, Tygra will be the next Lord of the Thundercats. | |

In the Defenders of the Earth episode "Audie and Tweak", Flash, Mandrake, the Phantom and Lothar attempt to infiltrate the underground base from which rogue computer Tycos (designed by Ming's eight-legged robot, Octon) is operating. But there's only one way into the base and that's protected by a powerful nerve gas which paralyses any human who attempts to enter. After the Phantom and Mandrake have both fallen victim to the gas, Flash tries (unsuccessfully) to evade it by wearing an oxygen helmet. Before entering the base, Flash tells Lothar to, should his attempt to avoid getting gassed fail, go back to Monitor for explosives and blow up the base. When Lothar attempts to object, Flash tells him that Tycos has to be stopped, implying that this must happen even if it means sacrificing three lives. | |

Existence Is the Most Exciting Thing of All: just before Henriette goes off to commit a Heroic Sacrifice, she gives Carlos a hug, tells her to tell her student and son that she's sorry, and that he's the best project leader she's ever had. Carlos, who's pretty heavily drugged at the time, doesn't realize what's going on, and cheerfully tells her she can tell them herself. | |

Subtly alluded to in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. When Gibbs asks Jack Sparrow what they should do if Sparrow and Will Turner don't return, Jack's only reply is "Keep to the Code", meaning "if we don't come back, go on without us". Or thereabouts, they're more like guidelines anyway. | |

Steel Rain. Kwak suspects that a North Korean agent is holding his ex-wife (a doctor) hostage and forcing her to treat the leader of North Korea, who's had to flee his country after a coup. He walks into her clinic pretending he's just come to see her, but beforehand tells a friend to call him in exactly one hour and if he doesn't answer or his phone is dead, call the police...or On Second Thought special forces. Fortunately this happens without a hitch and the North Korean agent is smart enough to surrender when he sees a dozen laser dots on his chest. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In the series finale, Twilight confides in her older brother Shining Armor that the mission she and her friends are about to embark on is essentially a suicide mission and if they die, all their hopes will be pinned on Flurry Heart, his infant daughter. This also serves as a goodbye from Twilight to her BBBFF (Big Brother Best Friend Forever) and as Twilight leaves, Shining turns away to cry while Flurry innocently waves goodbye to her aunt. | |

Doctor Who: "The Green Death" has the Doctor begin explaining what to do if he doesn't return. The Brigadier assumes that means to come in and rescue him, but the Doctor clarifies that no, he'll be dead by then—they are to go in and destroy the BOSS before it takes over the world. In "The Satan Pit", the Doctor — while hanging from a wire in a possibly fathomless chasm and planning to cut himself loose — asks Ida to tell Rose... "...Oh, she knows." |

Blake's 7: Played for drama when the Ragtag Bunch of Misfits first team up. Blake has to do a high-risk teleport (it's the first time they've used the technology) down to a prison planet, and tells the others they can leave with the Liberator if he's not back in four hours. Avon and Jenna then discover there's a fortune in jewelry stashed on the Liberator, and Avon seriously tries to convince Jenna to abandon Blake without waiting. In "Moloch", President Servalan is searching for a missing legion only to find they've killed their officers and gone rogue. She tries the "if I don't return something bad will happen" routine but they're not impressed, pointing out that if her military strength was as powerful as she claimed, she wouldn't be gallivanting around the galaxy looking for a single legion to add to it. In "Terminal", Avon insists on teleporting down to a planet alone (ironically in the hope of finding Blake). If Avon is not back in twelve hours, the Master Computer is programmed to take the Liberator to another planet before handing over control. And from the audio play "Drones": |

The Unit has a more cold depiction. Searching for his daughter, a US soldier kidnapped in Iraq, Jonas Blane walks into a mosque, explosives strapped to his chest, and calmly informs the occupants that he will count to three. If they do not help him, he will kill himself and everyone inside. He then tells his comrades to leave, and find his daughter for him. | |

Beethoven has this kind of quote when George goes and checks inside the lab for the whereabouts of the eponymous dog, he tells his wife and kids to call the police if he doesn't come back in 15 minutes. Subverted later by his wife Alice when she does go to call the police; she starts to say it, but then backtracks and tells the kids that she'll be back. | |

The Wild Geese. The night before they go on the mission, Janders asks Colonel Faulkner to become a Parental Substitute for his son if anything happens to him. Faulkner says the idea is mad, because when not killing people for money he's an unemployed drunkard. Janders blithely replies that some responsibility might help him then. Janders not only gets killed; it's Faulkner who has to kill him, to stop him from being captured and tortured to death. | |

Sure enough, Hiroshi disappeared and was presumed dead afterwards due to his plane disappearing in a storm over Alaska and running afoul of the Frost Vark. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: While her crew sometimes take this trope with a grain of salt, in "The Omega Directive", Captain Janeway has to go on a solo mission to destroy the Omega molecule which could create a No Warping Zone if detonated. So when she orders Chakotay to do an immediate Hyperspeed Escape if her plan doesn't work, she really means it because he'll only have ten seconds before Voyager is stranded in space for the rest of their lives. | |

Such a request is what launches the plot of the fourth Detectives United game. Before leaving on a personal secret investigation, Agent Brown entrusts Agent Shade (the team's Mission Control) with the knowledge of his destination and plans, and asks that she share the information with his partners if he doesn't return in a reasonable amount of time. After two months with no contact, she decides it's time to bring them into the loop, and send them to find out what happened. Unlike other examples, however, Brown isn't dead, nor do his partners expect him to be. He just knew that if the investigation dragged long enough, it would mean he wasn't going to be able to resolve it without their help. | |

Mission to Mars did it straight, although obviously the guy disobeyed the order or we'd get a Downer Ending where they're stuck on Mars with no way out. In retrospect, it seems like they should have been asking the alien to hurry up the holographic history lesson since they gave the guy such a short time limit. | |

Babylon 5: In the episode "Messages From Earth", Captain Sheridan and Delenn have to take the White Star to the Jovian moon Ganymede in order to destroy the Shadow vessel Preident Clark's forces found buried on the moon. Before leaving Sheridan informs the senior staff that he's leaving his uniform, link, and ID behind so if something goes wrong there will be nothing left to tie the White Star back to Babylon 5. He further instructs the crew if he doesn't return to put some organic material in his Starfury, send it out, and have it self destruct so the crew has a plausible story as to what happened to Sheridan. | |
