Sometimes you just can't afford to be seen. Everybody needs to believe you're dead. Or they saw you use superpowers, or now they know there are such things as werewolves. Or they'll just testify against you and make you go to jail. Or they want to prevent a Cycle of Revenge from happening in the most direct way.
So you have to kill everyone in the room. Or, possibly, the city.
Similar to Shoot Everything That Moves, but that trope is more about the situation where everything you see is a threat. In this case, people would be more than happy to leave you alone, but that just doesn't seem to be an option anymore (though for some perpetrators, capture might be an option, particularly if the need for secrecy is short-termed).
Oh, by the way, if you're a Mook and you've been ordered to kill all the witnesses, one thing to keep in mind: As far as your boss is concerned, you're a witness, too. Especially if you helped do something top-secret.
A specific case — often invoked by otherwise-heroic characters who need to eliminate individuals who might jeopardize their mission — would be Killed to Uphold the Masquerade. People who are Trigger-Happy may jump to this solution a bit more readily. See also Never One Murder. Contrast with Leave No Survivors, where you're killing everyone just out of general bloody-mindedness (or hatred). Opposed to Spare a Messenger, when you specifically leave someone alive to relate what they've just seen.

Expiration Date starts after the RED Scout, Soldier and Heavy have stolen an intel briefcase from an undisclosed location. If Miss Pauling's dialogue is any indication, the team was supposed to sneak in unseen; instead, things went south and the team killed everyone who got in their way. Or rather, almost everyone: Miss Pauling has to spend her weekend getting rid of the bodies and evidence, along with mopping up the survivors, so that the team doesn't go to jail.

Cowboy Bebop (2021). A Whole Episode Flashback to Spike Spiegel's time as a hitman for The Syndicate shows him letting a female witness leave a crime scene because she has her child with her, and a Syndicate rule is that you don't kill children. After single-handedly wiping out the Neptune cartel (including several female gang members) Spike encounters a female Innocent Bystander as he's leaving the Bad Guy Bar. Spike tells her she didn't see anything and tells her to flee, only to change his mind and kill her as she's running away.

Wonder Woman (1942): A trio of gangsters decide to kill someone who just happened to overhear their insurance fraud plans, as the timing led them to believe the witness knew even more. Unfortunately for them the witness was Etta Candy, and she'd been in a hurry and willing to just ignore them and instead ends up beating them all unconscious and handing them over to the cops.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the White-Maned Lynel's Compendium entry says the reason there are so few eyewitness accounts of them is because White-Maned Lynels won't let even a single passerby escape with their lives. This isn’t actually borne out in-game, where Lynels are the only type of monster that don’t immediately attack when they notice you.

Honor Harrington:
In the short story "A Grand Tour" by David Drake, during the brittle pre-war peace between Manticore and the People's Republic of Haven, a Havenite cruiser manned by the figurative scrapings of the Dolist masses engages and destroys a Manticoran destroyer in a back-world sector of the Solarian League. In order to keep word from getting out of their action they attempt to slaughter the crew that escaped the destroyer's destruction, missing a shuttle of survivors in the debris from the destroyed ship.
In Echoes of Honor, when the combined Grayson-Manticore fleet with the new podnoughts rides to the rescue in the defence of Basilisk, Earl White Haven nearly has a heart attack when he thinks Admiral Yanakov ordered no quarter. Fortunately, the latter only called for no mercy, which is a powerful emotional statement but is thankfully not a massive war crime.note For the uninitiated, "no mercy" means the attacking force will not be picking up survivors. "No quarter" means they will not be allowing any.

The Iceman. After Kuklinski kills a pornographer, he finds a seventeen-year old girl hiding in his closet. He hauls her out onto the street and it's at that point he meets fellow hitman "Mr Freezy" Pronge for the first time, who tries to run her down with his ice cream truck. Kuklinski makes Pronge cease his pursuit at gunpoint, but when the two hitmen team up later on, the first thing Pronge shows him is the girl's body, which he has kept frozen for later disposal.

Defied in Best Seller (1987). James Woods' character goes to a policeman-turned-novelist (Brian Dennehy), asking him to write his story as a professional hitman for a Corrupt Corporate Executive. To prove his claim, he brings the writer to the maid who let him into the house where he killed a senator. When Dennehy's character asks why this witness is still alive, the hitman replies, "Because I knew I'd need her some day."

The Boys (2019):
The series starts with Hughie seeing his girlfriend being killed by A-Train, a member of The Seven. The Vought Corporation, who funds The Seven, spins the death as a tragic accident, but Billy Butcher, who is plotting to take down The Seven, tells Hughie that Supes actually kill a lot more people as Collateral Damage with only a few cases, like Hughies' girlfriend, going public. The reason no one knows about this is because the Vought Corporation is very good at covering up their misdeeds, and generously compensates relatives of their victims so they'll keep quiet.
In episode four, following the botched rescue attempt of a hijacked plane over the Atlantic Ocean, Maeve begs Homelander to rescue at least a woman and her daughter, but Homelander say they'll just tell the world how they left everyone else to die. She reluctantly puts them down, and as they float thousands of feet over the ocean, they see the plane going down in the distance.
As part of Rewatch Bonus, this was very likely what Black Noir and the rest of Payback actually did against their Contras allies, instead of gross incompetence as Mallory initially assumed, as they betray Soldier Boy to the Russians and Sandinistas.

Killshot: Blackbird has a policy of killing anyone who sees his face during his kills. This is because of a prior hit that went wrong when his brother let a nurse who witnessed them go freely, who then sounded an alarm. When he is hired by the mafia to kill an old criminal, he goes off-plan by also killing the woman who let him in as she could identify him. The pissed off mob boss who hired him puts a prize on Blackbird's head because the woman was his mistress.

A story from the third user submission episode of What the Fuck Is Wrong with You? provides an utterly idiotic example of this trope. A trio of burglars broke into an Arlington Heights apartment and make off with numerous items, and one of them poisoned the goldfish by pouring ketchup, mustard and hot sauce into the tank. Needless to say, Nash doesn't even try to restrain his bewilderment.

If an NPC sees you committing murder in Yandere Simulator, they will either run off the school grounds to contact the police or to their favorite teacher to bring them to the body. If you manage to cover up for your crime, they'll spread rumors about your being a murderer, causing continuous damage to your reputation until they are dealt with.
Students with the "Heroic" personality must be disposed of: if they see you commit a murder, they will attempt to restrain you. If you fail the struggling minigame or are caught when you're not holding a weapon, they'll pin you to the ground, thus resulting in a Game Over.

In RoboCop 2, the Corrupt Corporate Executives who are trying to bankrupt the city discover the Mayor is going to cut a deal with a drug lord to get the necessary funding. They send their cyborg killing machine to kill the Mayor and the criminals, specifically stating that there must be no witnesses. Ironically the Mayor is the only one to escape the subsequent massacre, but can't afford to admit what he was up to anyway.

Discussed Trope earlier on. While planning the same train heist, Mike notes that they will be forced to kill the crew if they go in guns blazing, remarking that "I've been in this business long enough to know there are two types of heists: those where they get away with it, and those that leave witnesses". Jesse initially solved the problem by suggesting a diversion so as not to alarm the engineers and replacing the stolen methylamine with waternote The company would notice the difference when offloading, but 1000 stolen gallons out of 24,000 total would only account for around 4% dilution, which is small enough that they would blame the production facility in China., they just weren't expecting a random kid to show up in the middle of the desert.

Jack, the hit man said mob boss enlisted to eliminate Sara's father, went to Sara's residence and carried out the murder of her father, before killing her mother, too (since she was right next to her husband). On the way out, Jack encountered Sara and, not wishing to run the risk of having Sara incriminating him as a witness, murdered her as well before fleeing the scene. Sara is understandably angry once the truth is made clear.

Clooney kills the assassin — to the shock of the woman, who's surprised that he even carries a gun — but he just yells at her to go and call the police. As she turns to leave, he shoots her in the back of the head. The kill weighs on his mind and fuels his eventual desire to make this One Last Job.

She cautions Mizu to Make It Look Like an Accident and Leave No Witnesses, or Hamata will come with his army of gangsters and kill them all. Mizu infiltrates and necksnaps Kinuyo, then arranges the bodies so that it looks like he attacked Kinuyo and she managed to stab him while he strangled her. But when leaving the building she's spotted by a child; already shocked after killing one innocent, Mizu just tells him to run and get the night watchman as two people have just died. The child goes directly to Hamata instead.

It was at this point that Spoony, as the game master, finally had enough of them, went in full Killer Game Master mode, and unleashed the Night City Police's "Psycho Squad" on the team.

Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men kills pretty much anybody who he thinks can compromise him, regardless of whether or not they’re on the same side. The book contains some scenes that didn’t make it into the movie which suggest that while this “kill ‘em all� approach to crime works to an extent ("I have no enemies. I don't permit such a thing."), Chigurh still can’t control for everything and is fortunate that nobody can give a more detailed description than Suspect Is Hatless.

The Order of the Stick:
Redcloak, when destroying the Resistance and retrieving back Xykon's phylactery, uses monsters he summoned, allowing him to simply send them back to their planes. He also doesn't resurrect the hobgoblin spy he used, and is thankful that he died in the battle, or he would have had to kill him himself. Then he buries the location with an earthquake.
A few strips later, after Tsukiko discovers too much about Redcloak's manipulations, he takes control of her wights and has them kill and eat her. He then orders them to eat each other, and for the last one remaining after that to set himself on fire. Right after this, he disintegrates the body of the hobgoblin who made a perfect copy of the phylactery and was killed by Tsukiko because he was in her way.
Vaarsuvius' use of the Familicide spell, given that it was cast to ensure that nobody related to the target in question would ever come seeking revenge. It would come back to bite them in a practical manner much later. The creator of the spell, being a Neutral Evil (with a strong emphasis on "evil") necromancer, apparently never even considered that people other than relatives might seek revenge.

Metal Gear:
In the prologue of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Sergei and his men install Semtex throughout the Discovery, intending to sink it with all hands onboard once they've boosted RAY. Ocelot beats Sergei to the punch and activates the bombs before he can get away.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
Naked Snake gets told this early on. Actually doing so is ill-advised, as it makes a later boss fight harder. (It's actually more of a directive to remain unseen, rather than kill everyone)
The actual Snake Eater mission goes out of its way to subvert this: if you leave no witness or evidence of US involvement in the mission, then Russia won't be able to prove that the US cleaned up the mess it created. So you have to leave some people alive (though nothing really comes of it if you ''do'' kill everyone, mostly because of the way the story is ultimately framed).
Later in the series we learn that Operation Snake Eater had a cleaner following Snake, who dealt with any loose ends after Snake infiltrated and compromised the area. From what we know about Skull Face, he didn't leave much to chance. Or anything, for that matter.

Done inadvertently in Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse. On the Anarchy route, Nanashi sets out to destroy the world so he can create a new one in its place. Before he can do that, Skins and Fujiwara rally the strongest fighters in Tokyo and Mikado to kill him. Fujiawara mentions the plot to kill him is secret because news of Nanashi's betrayal would devastate Tokyo. So when Nanashi kills them all, nobody knows of his plans—which means he can still visit Hunter Association bars and Ashura-Kai shops, even though he just murdered their bosses.

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In Carl Barks story "The Horseradish Story", Scrooge McDuck's ancestor failed to deliver a case of horseradish to Jamaica. Chisel McSue, as the last heir of the person who hired Scrooge's ancestor to make the delivery, takes advantage of this fact to claim Scrooge's fortune. To keep his money, Scrooge must recover the horseradish from the bottom of the ocean and deliver it to Jamaica within 30 days. When it seems Scrooge will triumph where his ancestor failed, Chisel and a thug named Joe assault his ship.

The Rourke family in Sin City usually ensure this when covering up the trail of bodies left by the two different Serial Killers connected to them; even going so far as to try to kill children or lowlifes like Marv. Both of these targets end up being their own undoing, however.

A creepy exchange in Monsters, Inc.: When Waternoose orders Randall to go after Mike and Sulley, Randall's response pretty heavily implies that he intends to backstab Waternoose once the entire mess is all over.

In Berserk, Guts instinctively did this when he heard a witness after he assassinated Duke Julius on Griffith's orders. He realized too late that it was the Duke's young son, whom Guts empathized with earlier. It's implied that Griffith hoped this would happen, since the boy was being groomed to marry Princess Charlotte, who Griffith had designs on.

In the Chowder episode "Chowder's Catering Company", after Schnitzel walks in on Chowder disobeying one of Mung's orders, Chowder knocks him out with a shovel and hides him in a pickle barrel. When Mung sees Chowder with the pickle barrel (Note: Mung doesn't know that Schnitzel is in the barrel.), he knocks him out as well. Then Truffles comes in, he knocks her out as well. Fortunately, Chowder lets them all out just as he's about to throw them down a pit.

The Cassandra Crossing is about an express train that is de-routed from its way from Geneva to Stockholm because there is a terrorist on the train who is infected with a virus. The passengers shall instead be quarantined in a former Nazi concentration camp. The way there leads over the namesake bridge which has been closed since 1948 and is absolutely unsafe to cross. Even though the virus can easily be healed with oxygen, a U.S. military intelligence Colonel insists in sending the train into its doom. The reason is because the virus was an American bio-weapon illegally parked outside the NATO, and he has to kill everyone who may know about it.

During the Noveria mission in Mass Effect, Saren tries to cover up what he's been doing there by having everyone who was involved with the project killed. You arrive just in time to save the last surviving scientist, who asks if he'll get a "you know too much" speech. Indeed this is Saren's modus operandi, as your teammate Wrex can tell you — he was once hired by Saren, along with a bunch of other mercenaries, to help raid a ship. Something about Saren gave him a bad feeling, so he left without waiting to be paid. In the following months, every other mercenary involved wound up dead.

It's mentioned a few times that Golgo 13 will kill any witnesses to an assassination as a general rule. (Usually, though, there aren't any.)
In an anime episode Togo has Identity Amnesia, and only remembers who he is just before the assassination. The beautiful woman who saved his life and stuck with him this far without knowing he's a Professional Killer realises this trope will now apply. She's prepared to Face Death with Dignity, but is then killed by a stray bullet from one of the bad guys before we discover if Togo will spare her.
However in another episode a woman who's become a Death Seeker follows Togo to a job, perhaps with this trope in mind. Togo obliges despite having slept with her earlier.

A New Hope:
This is why the Stormtroopers slaughter the Jawas and kill Luke's aunt and uncle, seeing as they are trying to leave evidence that Tusken Raiders did it.
After Darth Vader attacks Leia's ship (a ship containing an emissary of the Galactic Senate), he orders a subordinate, "Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed." Presumably he wants to make it look like the ship was destroyed by random piracy, and left nobody alive who could contradict that story.

JT Music's "Now Hiring at Freddy's", as a parody of Fazbear Entertainment's shady business practices, brings up the rampant child deaths at the establishment. Fazbear Entertainment's solution to make sure word doesn't get out? Kill everyone inside the restaurant and destroy evidence of any wrongdoings. Clearly, another mass missing persons report is going to help with the restaurant's reputation.

Apollo Justice:
Kristoph Gavin's motive for killing Drew Misham, Zak Gramarye and attempting to kill Vera Misham, is that all three had information about him requesting forged trial evidence.
In episode three, the real killer tries to kill Lamiroir to silence her from revealing important information about their crime.
The Judge mentions that it was brave of Wesley Stickler to shout out at the killer whom he saw pointing a gun at the victim, because killers normally don't want to leave witnesses behind. Stickler himself obviously didn't consider this when trying to stop the murder and gets rather distraught over this fact.

When Jarl Arnvid of Varmland sends out his henchmen to ambush Egil and his companions bringing the taxes from Varmland to King Hakon, he explicitly orders them to let no one escape and to kill them all. The plot fails, as it turns out the jarl's goons are no match for Egil.
Living out his life in the house of Grim, the aged Egil rides out at evening, accompanied by two slaves and carrying his two chests of silver with him. He does not return for a whole night, and in the morning returns without the silver and without the slaves, revealing that he has hidden the treasure and that he has killed the slaves to keep the secret.

The Professionals.
In "Heroes", several citizens foil the robbery of an armored car (actually a disguised political assassination). Because one of the criminals was partially unmasked during the raid, Cowley decides to tell the press that the man can now be identified, in the hope of flushing out the criminals who have gone to ground. Unfortunately a newspaper has published the names and addresses of these heroic citizens, so CI5 has to scramble to protect them when the criminals start murdering them.
In "Everest Was Also Conquered", a former intelligence officer makes a Deathbed Confession that he murdered a witness to a corruption inquiry in the 1950's. As Bodie and Doyle investigate, they find they're in a race against a hitman who's killing off the other conspirators in the murder.

In One Piece, the World Government attempted to kill anyone with knowledge of the Void Century or the ability to read the dominant language used during that time (as indestructible tablets exist in that language that tell what happened). While they couldn't kill everybody with such knowledge, they've killed most of them, and the remaining ones would rather keep quiet to stay alive. This is because horrific weapons capable of destroying the entire planet were made during that century, and the World Government considers it better to kill off anyone with even the slightest chance of harnessing them than global annihilation. It's implied that there's also information from the Void Century that would undermine the World Government's political power, giving them perhaps an even greater motivation.
During the Dressrosa arc, once the spell that's turned most of Dressrosa's citizens turned into toys is undone, exposing Donquixoite Doflamingo as the villain he is, Doflamingo's Plan B is to KILL EVERYONE, so that they won't be able to tell the rest of the world.
Cipher Pol 9, one of the World Government's assassination squads, cannot allow their existence to be known to the public. Their approach is to kill everyone who finds out about it or their missions. In the series, this begins with the people within the Galley-La Company they infiltrated to obtain the blueprints to one of the aforementioned horrific weapons, the Pluton. Unfortunately for them, they dragged the Straw Hat Pirates into this, who turn the situation around by not only causing enough trouble to interrupt CP9 from killing anybody in Galley-La, they follow CP9 to their headquarters and nonlethally defeat them all there and thus disgracing the squad. This results in their boss, Spandam, disbanding the entire squad and putting them on the run, at least until they get revenge on Spandam.
After the Straw Hats defeat Gecko Moria on Thriller Bark, the World Government decide that they can't allow word of another Warlord being defeated to spread, so they order Bartholomew Kuma to kill everyone on the island. Fortunately, Zoro is able to talk him down in exchange for Zoro being made to suffer all of Luffy's pain instead.

In The Bible, Jacob's daughter Dinah is raped by a Schechemite prince, and her brothers kill him for it. They also kill all the other men of the city, and take the women and children as plunder. Some would see this as Disproportionate Retribution, others would see it as Combat Pragmatism; killing the other Schechemites leaves no men to avenge the prince (and in this time and place, apparently no women willing or able to take vengeance either.) Either way, Jacob worried that someone would take revenge on him and/or his sons for their action.

Also from the Bible: In 1st Samuel, when David and his men temporarily sold their services to a Philistine lord, they would make raids upon the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. They would make a point to leave no survivors in those raids because they didn't want any witnesses testifying in Gath to what David had done to those people, to maintain the illusion of being a true defector.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:
Stardust Crusaders: Pet Shop's entire modus operandi. If anyone, regardless of age, species or intention — be they intentionally trespassing or simply stumbling in — comes within range of DIO's mansion, he'll immediately pursue and mercilessly kill them to keep its location a secret for his master.
Diamond is Unbreakable: Kira Yoshikage will use his Killer Queen to kill anyone who could potentially contribute to exposing his crimes, down to the owner of the store where he'd left a jacket to be repaired.
Golden Wind: The Don; Diavolo, manages to take it even further; he's so paranoid about anyone knowing anything about him that he not only kills everyone he's ever met in-person, but also spends the bulk of the story trying to assassinate his estranged daughter over the miniscule chance that someone could discover his identity through her.
Stone Ocean: Ermes' sister, Gloria, was murdered by Sports Maxx after she tried to call the police for witnessing him killing someone.

The first episode of Game of Thrones concludes with 10-year-old Bran Stark climbing a tower where he witnesses Queen Cersei having sex with her own brother (this is not only incest but treason, as the true parentage of the future king is an important plot point). When he's spotted, Cersei just keeps saying, "He saw us!" until her brother shoves Bran out the window. Bran survives this fall, but loses the use of his legs and his memory of the event, which is not discovered by the Starks until much later.

Heat. In the opening robbery, a psychopathic member of the gang kills a security guard for not following his instructions. Another guard draws a pistol and is also shot. The last guard doesn't resist, but the gang exchange a Meaningful Look and kill him too. As they've already committed multiple homicide, there's no incentive to leave a potential witness alive.

Inverted in Loki, where it's discovered that Sylvie is hiding her activities across time by doing them in times and locations where cataclysmic disasters killed everyone in the area(Pompeii, a Walmart about to be destroyed by a hurricane, a planet doomed by a Colony Drop, etc...), With no survivors to be affected by her activities, changes to the timeline don't occur to be picked up by the TVA.

In Fate/stay night, the magi try to hide their abilities from normal people in order to avoid persecution. It's generally accepted as a fact of life among magi that any non-magus who sees them using their powers must die to maintain The Masquerade. Even a battle to the death between magi and their Servants can be interrupted by the need to eliminate a witness.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater:
Naked Snake gets told this early on. Actually doing so is ill-advised, as it makes a later boss fight harder. (It's actually more of a directive to remain unseen, rather than kill everyone)
The actual Snake Eater mission goes out of its way to subvert this: if you leave no witness or evidence of US involvement in the mission, then Russia won't be able to prove that the US cleaned up the mess it created. So you have to leave some people alive (though nothing really comes of it if you ''do'' kill everyone, mostly because of the way the story is ultimately framed).
Later in the series we learn that Operation Snake Eater had a cleaner following Snake, who dealt with any loose ends after Snake infiltrated and compromised the area. From what we know about Skull Face, he didn't leave much to chance. Or anything, for that matter.

In the Springhole article about writing believable cover-ups and masquerades, Syera points out that this would be a bad idea for a secret organization to do, as this trope often fails to address that the witnesses in question have families and friends that will do anything to bring their killers/kidnappers to justice, and that mysterious disappearances out of nowhere will not be ignored in real life (at least if the victim is from a privileged majority).

Gunslinger Girl. Cyborg girl Rico befriends a boy working as a bellhop while scoping out her target. Her handler Jean orders Rico to kill anyone who sees her committing an assassination. While leaving the hotel room after the hit, she runs into the boy and in one of the more memorable scenes of the series kills him while smiling cheerfully because she remembered the right words to use in a situation like this; "I am sorry." However this is the only example of this trope in GSG and is used more to highlight her handler's ruthless nature; other handlers just use the Move Along, Nothing to See Here approach.

Asterix: In Asterix and the Secret Weapon, Caesar demands that no witnesses be left of the titular secret weapon (since it would not only be seen in Rome as dishonorable but also ridiculous). When pirates threaten the secret ship, the leader announces "Caesar said no witnesses, so No Quarter!" and just charges through the pirate ship, ripping it in half (which conveniently allows the pirates to survive in their rowboat since they didn't see anyone).

Happens multiple times in Ace Attorney, and is also often brought.
Joe Darke was a spree killer in the first game. He accidentally hit and killed a woman with his car, which was seen by a witness. He panicked and killed the witness, only for some unlucky sap to come along and witness that, and so on, and so on...
Apollo Justice:
Kristoph Gavin's motive for killing Drew Misham, Zak Gramarye and attempting to kill Vera Misham, is that all three had information about him requesting forged trial evidence.
In episode three, the real killer tries to kill Lamiroir to silence her from revealing important information about their crime.
The Judge mentions that it was brave of Wesley Stickler to shout out at the killer whom he saw pointing a gun at the victim, because killers normally don't want to leave witnesses behind. Stickler himself obviously didn't consider this when trying to stop the murder and gets rather distraught over this fact.
In Ace Attorney Investigations 2, it's revealed that the Big Bad was chased by Blaise Debeste's men for 12 years because he was a witness to the SS-5 Incident.

Ciaphas Cainnote HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!, despite being (more or less) a good guy, orders this done to what he himself calls "a virtually defenseless ally" in For the Emperor. To his credit, he's very disturbed by the need for such Dirty Business, and they would have revealed his position and endangered a very important mission if he'd let any escape. (And from the vantage of hindsight, it's probable the specific people in his way weren't allies and that the decisiveness and thoroughness of the slaughter did represent the bare minimum of needed force.)

In Spec Ops: The Line CIA agent Riggs believes that if word got out of how the Damned 33rd, a U.S. Army Battalion, went rogue and set up a military dictatorship after their rescue mission in Dubai ended in failure, the rest of the Middle-East would declare war on the U.S., a war the U.S. would lose. To prevent that from happening, Riggs decides to recruit the protagonist into stealing and destroying the city's remaining water supply to ensure that anyone still in Dubai will have died of thirst long before any other rescue attempts into the city would be made.

Breaking Bad:
"Dead Freight" has Walter, Jesse, and the new Nice Guy Todd robbing a train with methylamine. The entire thing goes off without a hitch and ends with the three celebrating the success... until they look behind them and see a 14-year old kid on a dirt bike watching them. After a wave from the kid and a few seconds of staring, cue Todd pulling out his gun and casually shooting the kid. End of episode.
Discussed Trope earlier on. While planning the same train heist, Mike notes that they will be forced to kill the crew if they go in guns blazing, remarking that "I've been in this business long enough to know there are two types of heists: those where they get away with it, and those that leave witnesses". Jesse initially solved the problem by suggesting a diversion so as not to alarm the engineers and replacing the stolen methylamine with waternote The company would notice the difference when offloading, but 1000 stolen gallons out of 24,000 total would only account for around 4% dilution, which is small enough that they would blame the production facility in China., they just weren't expecting a random kid to show up in the middle of the desert.

The Bourne Series:
The Bourne Identity: Jason Bourne pieces together that in his last assignment in Treadstone, he was supposed to assassinate deposed dictator Nykwana Wombosi aboard his yacht, but he wasn't willing to also kill his children who were with him, so he tried to escape before being shot, causing his amnesia.
The Bourne Supremacy: Bourne learns that his first Treadstone mission involved assassinating Russian politician Vladimir Neski. He assumed he was alone in his Berlin hotel room but discovered his wife was with him, so he shot them both and made it look like a Murder-Suicide by Neski's wife.
