Sometimes, the worst thing about being The Mole is not the dangerous lifestyle, the risk of getting caught by the enemy, being outed as a spy, and being executed before you can complete your mission. No, sometimes, the worst part is the chance of coming under fire from your own allies. That one loose cannon who wasn't informed of your mission, believes you've turned traitor, feels there's only one way to deal with scum like you, and in an impulsive act of what they think is patriotism, shoots you on the spot. In other words, the ultimate case of Poor Communication Kills and one of the reasons why being Locked Out of the Loop is a bad thing. Unlike Heel–Face Door-Slam, the character was Good All Along, and ends up getting attacked for a misunderstanding. The attacker is likely to undergo My God, What Have I Done? after learning that the guy was a Fake Defector. For extra irony, the mole was probably bringing in big enemy secrets and the attacker got to him before he could give the intel. If there is Dramatic Irony involved and the audience knows that the victim is a mole, it can make the misguided patriot look unreasonable and monstrous. To make the situation worse, the mole might try to explain the situation, only for the attacker to refuse to listen/believe him until it is too late. If the rest of the mole's allies arrive in time to save him, that leads to He's a Friend. The attacker is likely to get You Fool! and What the Hell, Hero? for his actions, or inversely the attacker will dish it out to the people who didn't tell him the guy was a mole. Even worse still if the mole does their mole thing on their own without telling any of their allies, causing all of them to believe that you've turned traitor and thus will hardly trust your words — but sometimes this is intentional on their part, and they may even expect to get attacked by their own (real) allies. Please note that the attack doesn't have to be fatal. The mole can be put into a coma, badly incapacitated, or even end up having his cover being blown because of the attacker, anything that puts a serious crimp in his mission, perhaps even render it All for Nothing. A subtrope of Nice Job Breaking It, Hero and Right Hand Versus Left Hand. Similar to Acquitted Too Late where an innocent person dies in prison before their exoneration. Compare and contrast Flock of Wolves and Friend or Foe? where one didn't know that the mole was on their side in the first place. Can go hand in hand with Vigilante Execution, especially if the executioner isn't popular with the rest of your side. If the mole went undercover by orchestrating his own death, see Mistaken for Own Murderer. See also Tragic Mistake and A Tragedy of Impulsiveness. Compare Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves when the mole is deliberately killed by their own side. |

In the climax of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Professor McGonagall and the rest of the teachers are done putting up with Snape and join forces to drive him out of the castle. Shortly after he dies, Harry learns Snape had long been Dumbledore's inside man, with even Snape's murder of Dumbledore having been arranged between the two, and that he had actually used his position as Hogwarts' headmaster to protect everyone from the Death Eaters. As such, by driving him out, there is no one to shield them from Voldemort, who decides to launch an all-out war against the castle. | |

Blake and Mortimer: A young Henry Blake unknowingly participates in the removal of his childhood hero Colonel Lawrence (better known as Lawrence Of Arabia) after he's seen talking with known fascists. It's made to look like an accidental crash under the guidance of the senior MI6 agent Lawless who decided Murder Is the Best Solution for dealing with traitors (and with considerable relish, because he'd always resented Lawrence). It turns out Lawrence was infiltrating them on orders from MI6. Oops. | |

Fallout: Equestria: During the war, Zecora becomes a spy for Equestria to infiltrate the Zebra forces. Part of the plan she forms with Applejack involves her deliberately (temporarily) paralyzing Applejack so as to sell the image that she's stealing from Equestria. Unfortunately, Steelhooves isn't let in on this; When he comes in at the wrong moment and sees this occurring, he thinks Zecora has genuinely betrayed them, and kills her in front of Applejack, who can only watch. | |

At one point in Papers, Please, you're informed that there's an Antegrian spy impersonating an Arstotzkan official who is trying to nab the information about the Arstotzkan spies in Antegria you're supposed to hand over to your authorities. You're given two identically-packaged documents and told not to mix them up since one is a fake. If you give the Antegrian spy the fake documents as instructed, Antegria accidentally kills their own spies. If you give them the real papers, Antegria kills the actual Arstotzkan spies. | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: In season 4's "Deception" arc, Anakin becomes obsessed with finding and killing a bounty hunter who supposedly killed Obi-Wan, unaware that the incident was staged and Obi-Wan has now gone undercover as his alleged killer among a group of bounty hunters involved in a plan to assassinate the Chancellor. Afterwards, Palpatine uses the fact that Anakin wasn't informed of the plan as an opportunity to sow more distrust between him and the Jedi. | |

I, Jedi: Corran Horn infiltrates a Space Pirate alliance looking for his wife. While on a mission, they collide with a New Republic task force, putting Corran in the unenviable position of being on the opposite side from his usual comrades in Rogue Squadron. He tries to use the Force to warn his C.O. Tycho Celchu that he's on the other side, and orders the pirates to use their ion cannons on the New Republic fighters, ostensibly forcing ships to be diverted from pursuit to rescue the pilots, and manages to accomplish an orderly retreat without having to kill anyone from his own side. This gets him noticed and promoted by pirate queen Leonia Tavira, as well as leading him to the realization that whomever is warning her off of New Republic ambushes can't pick up ones that aren't aimed at her (the task force was at the target system on unrelated business). | |

Designated Survivor: Invoked. After the attack on the capitol, the governor of Michigan starts rounding up and imprisoning Muslims. The newly minted President Kirkman can't allow such disgraceful actions to continue, but trying to force the governor to stop could cause a constitutional crisis or even a civil war. Kirkman decides to bluff, and tells the governor that undercover agents were caught in the sweep, and he had to release the detainees so the operation could continue. | |

In one of the SOC loop missions in Freespace 2, you are flying undercover as an NTF pilot, when you are attacked by an overzealous Vasudan battlegroup that wasn't supposed to be in the area. SOC gives you 'limited authorization to engage', so you can fight back to defend yourself (and so your NTF buddies don't get suspicious) but you're not supposed to go out of your way to kill the Vasudans. Although some players do that anyway, since this is the only opportunity in the main campaign of the game to get Vasudan ship kills. | |

In Buzz Lightyear of Star Command episode "Shiv Katall", when one of Zurg's brain pods defects, he sends for the titular assassin to eliminate the brain pod. Hearing this, Buzz goes off on the mission alone. Feeling Buzz needs help, Mira drags Booster and a reluctant XR on a search for Shiv. While chasing Shiv's ship into Zurg's territory, Mira rams it with their star cruiser, at the cost of destroying its power source. It's only then when they're stranded on a planet with Shiv does Mira find out that Shiv was actually Buzz, who used the persona to secretly save those who defect from Zurg's empire. As a result of Mira blowing his cover, they need to come up with a new way to ferry dissidents. | |

In Episode 10 of Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, the cast is shown to have been captured by the villains, with one of the characters having performed a Face–Heel Turn. Most of the cast believed the betrayal was genuine, due to his previous status as the Aloof Ally. So when the prisoners finally retaliate, the "traitor" is also attacked. It's up to the main character to intervene and explain that the "traitor" had spent the entire time passing him information about the villain's lair. | |

In Face/Off, Sean Archer undergoes plastic surgery to assume the appearance and identity of Castor Troy. Due to some security lapses, Castor ends up forcing the surgeons to give him Archer's face and identity. Because Castor destroyed all the evidence of the switch, Archer's own FBI colleagues have no idea that he's now impersonating Castor. Castor is able to use this to his advantage as he leads an all-out raid on his former girlfriend and her brother while Archer is holed up with them and trying to get their help. | |

In Sharpe's Tiger, Sharpe is on a secret mission inside the enemy fortress, and has earned their trust. When the British make a preliminary attack at night, he's sent out to try and confuse them, but tries to take the opportunity to return to his own side and give them the information he was sent for. Unfortunately, he runs into his old platoon sergeant, who hates him, and since only the regimental commander knows he's on a secret mission, everyone else thinks he's a deserter. Instead of escorting Sharpe back to the British camp, or agreeing to take a message to Colonel Wellesley, Sergeant Hakeswill tries to kill Sharpe, making so much noise that the enemy's troops home in on them, capturing Hakeswill and heavily contributing to the defeat of the British attack. | |
