A trope often seen in schools, and occasionally in workplaces and hostage situations. One person has done something wrong, but the authority figure does not know who is responsible. Because this is too grave to ignore, an entire group is interrogated, and often made to wait in silence until somebody confesses to the crime, or reveals who did it, with a threat that if nobody owns up by a certain time, the whole group will suffer. Expect to hear phrases such as "Who did this?", "You know who you are", or "I invite the culprit to step forward". A less reasonable authority figure will demand that the suspect owns up in front of everybody else, there and then; somebody more reasonable will invite them to confess in private. The Stool Pigeon will often be desperate to identify the culprit and may be seen being nudged or threatened. This situation can form a Sadistic Choice or Prisoner's Dilemma for the culprit or witnesses. This situation can be a test of solidarity within the group and can lead to one person Taking the Heat to protect the others. There is some Truth in Television to this, although in schools, this practice is frowned upon nowadays (Thus, its use will typically be seen in an Unintentional Period Piece). The reality is more often a downplayed version of the trope: a group is gathered together for an appeal for a confession, often with the threat of punishment for the culprit, but no consequences are threatened for the whole group. In Spanish media, this phenomenon is known as Fuenteovejuna due to associations with the eponymous comedic play by Lope de Vega — its most iconic scene is when the villagers refuse to reveal the murderer's identity to the royal magistrate out of solidarity. Compare I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure, which is when the authority figure knows who the guilty party is, but also knows punishing them directly will not be as effective as forcing them to watch innocent people suffer for their actions. See also Shared Fate Ultimatum. Compare and contrast I Am Spartacus, in which everybody confesses to hide the culprit's identity. Note: Real Life examples should be limited to historical examples only, and not examples of existing conflicts or situations. |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: In part 2, Snape does this as a pre-emptive move, after Harry has been sighted in Hogsmeade. He warns the assembled students of punishments if anyone attempts to aid Harry, or if anyone fails to declare any knowledge of this. This is Played for Laughs, as Harry himself then appears in the school. | |

The Talmud refers at one place to "the slain of Lod", which is actually Laodicea on the Lycus. Rashi gives the backstory to these people: a non-Jewish girl was killed, and the leaders suspected the Jews. They threatened to kill off all the Jews in the city if no one admitted the crime. Two innocent people, brothers named Lulianos and Paphos, claimed responsibility for the crime, thereby saving the rest of the Jewish community. | |

Angela Anaconda: In one episode, a tray is thrown in the trash by mistake - so the entire class is held in the lunch detention until the culprit comes forth. Angela takes the fall specifically because nobody else will come forth since she can handle the punishment. However, Nanette Manoir (who actually did it - albeit out of carlessness) doesn't like that Angela receives such positive attention from the class and decides to try and ensure that No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. | |

Brides of Christ: The girls receive a lesson about sex, and a box is provided for them to ask questions anonymously. Soon after this, Sister Agnes storms in, demanding to know who left these "disgusting" questions. She tells the class that if nobody owns up, the science trip will be cancelled, and she will question the girls one by one. Rosemary confesses privately and is banned from going on the trip. | |

Grange Hill: There are many scenes like this when a teacher demands a confession from a class, or the whole school. One such scene in series 2 comes after a fire in the school, and the headmaster invites anyone who knows anything to step forward. He then performs a similar exercise with the first-year boys only, with the lesser charge of being behind the stage during lessons, again inviting them to step forward, or being subjected to a Police Lineup by the caretaker who caught them. | |

Initially inverted in Spartacus. When the slave revolt is put down, the Romans offer to spare all the captives except the leader Spartacus, who they will kill to Make an Example of Them. All they need is for someone to point out which one is Spartacus. The slaves, out of loyalty to their leader, refuse to give him up, and they all start proclaiming that they're Spartacus. At this point, all Roman patience runs out and they follow through on this trope, killing everyone. | |

Rogue One: After a message about a vulnerability in the Death Star gets leaked, the Director of the project, Orson Krennic, gathers all the engineers and demands to know which of them sent that message. Meanwhile, the head engineer Galen Erso is kept to the side, as if Krennic thinks he's above suspicion. When no one confesses, Krennic declares, "Very well, I'll consider it a group effort," and orders his retinue of Death Troopers to take aim. At that point, Galen steps into the line of fire and admits he was the one who leaked the message and asks that the others be spared. Krennic puts his hand on Galen's shoulder, pulls him away from the rest of the group—and tells his troopers to open fire on the rest of the engineers anyway. | |

Scootertrix the Abridged: In the episode "Snowdrop the Abridged", someone pranks Princess Celestia by dyeing her mane and tail pink. So Celestia gathers all her suspects (who are all children, bizarrely) and threatens to punish them all if the culprit doesn't confess. Then the blind filly Snowdrop has the misfortune of arriving late and asking what she missed, so Celestia immediately fixates on her as the prime suspect. Fortunately, the more level-headed Princess Luna recognizes how stupid all this is, and convinces Celestia not to punish anyone. | |

Adrian Mole: A downplayed example in Growing Pains. The headmaster Mr Scruton summons the entire school and demands to know who defaced the portrait of Margaret Thatcher in his office, with Mustache Vandalism, and writing "three million unemployed" on her. He rants that defacing the greatest leader the country has ever known is a terrible crime, and when the culprit is found, they will immediately be expelled. His eyes bulge out so far that some of the first-years start to cry, and then the whole school is made to have handwriting tests. Soon after this, the teacher Miss Elf resigns, implying that she is the culprit. | |

At the beginning of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, the Inquisitorius learns about a Jedi presence on Brakka but doesn't know who it is, only where they were. To compensate, they line up the group of scrappers Cal happens to be with, inform them of the Jedi in their ranks, and says they will start executing them one by one unless someone exposes the Jedi to them, or the Jedi reveals themself. This trope is then immediately downplayed when Prauf starts giving a speech against the inquisitors, getting himself killed as the first victim and prompting Cal to retaliate, exposing himself. | |

Schindler's List: In one scene, Concentration Camp Commandant Amon Goeth demands to know who among the Jewish Prisoners stole and killed a chicken belonging to the guards. When no one confesses, he shoots one of them dead, with the obvious implication that he will continue to shoot prisoners one-by-one until someone confesses to the theft. A young boy in the group then steps forward crying, to which Goeth accuses him of being responsible. The boy denies it, and Goeth then infers he knows who did it, and asks him who killed the chicken. The boy then points to the man who Goeth just killed, shouting "HIM!" Apparently it worked, and Schindler then has the boy work in his factory under him, safe from Goeth and the Nazis. note Goeth's body language suggests he actually knew the boy was putting one over on him, but was either amused or impressed enough he gave his approval for the boy to work for Schindler. | |

The other students, however, suspect that no one was talking, and she just wanted an excuse to target him for not being human. | |

Each Ghostbuster confesses something, which Dib says is not the secret, until... | |

Surprisingly, Gus (who knew Randall started it) is the only one who didn't say who did it - because he was afraid of being seen as a tattler. So he only told one kid to get it off his chest... and proceeded to tell everyone else. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series: Downplayed in "The Trouble With Tribbles". Kirk has ordered that there be no hostilities between his crew and the Klingons at Deep Space Station K-7, as they do not want an incident that would give the Klingons claim to Sherman's Planet. However, a fight broke out in a bar on the station, and Kirk has assembled all of the crew, asking various people, like Chekov, who threw the first punch. When no one answers him, he tells them they're confined to quarters until he gets the answer. But he stops Scotty from leaving. As the commanding officer charged with keeping the peace at the time, Scotty will have no choice but to answer when Kirk asks him which of the crew threw the first punch. Scotty sheepishly reveals that it was him, as the Klingons had called the Enterprise a "Garbage Scow". Kirk confines Scotty to quarters, which the Engineer is delighted to hear, as he can catch up on his technical journals. | |

In the last issue of Dan Slott's Spider-Man / Human Torch mini-series, a crime boss named Carmine Villanova made hostages out of a high-school assembly where Johnny Storm was addressing the students(and Peter Parker happened to be a teacher), in order to kill one student, the son of a district attorney, for revenge against his own son dying in prison after the DA convicted him . He threatened to have all the students in the hall killed if the Torch so much as twitched. Fortunately the Torch was able to give Peter a distraction so he could take out the main gunman with a web-shot, and the two heroes were able to make short work out of the rest. | |

Scarlet Lady: In one episode, Chloe gets upset that the father of her nemesis Marinette is teaching a lesson to their home economics class about baking, so she calls the fire department. Even though she's the obvious guilty party, the principal Damocles won't blame anyone unless someone 'fesses up. When Chloe stays silent, he punishes everyone...except Chloe, who threatens to call her father. | |

Judge John Deed: In the episode about a reality TV show similar to Big Brother, a journalist in court takes a photo of an expert witness. When this photo is on the front pages the following morning, John makes all the journalists hand in their camera phones, demands a confession, and when none is forthcoming, jails them all for contempt. The third time he asks them, the culprit does confess. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: "The Hearthswarming Club" has the Young 6 held over after a prank causes a huge mess at the school, and told to clean the common areas where the mess is. Twilight says they'll be held until someone confesses, and she, Spike, and Rainbow Dash call each one individually to ask them about their involvement and/or knowledge of the prank. The students begin to describe their various Hearth's Warming celebrations, but they also begin to fight among themselves, fearful they'll miss their families and celebrations if the guilty party doesn't come forward. Upset at how the fighting doesn't go along with the spirit of the holiday, Gallus, the gryphon, explains that it was him because he has no family to return to and just wanted to spend a bit of time with his friends before they left. Twilight overhears this and thanks him for his confession, then tells him he'll still need to stay over the holiday. The others offer to stay as well so that Gallus won't be alone during the holiday season. | |

Magic Shop: In Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Jeremy's art teacher Mr. Kravitz is a generally nasty person, to the point where when he's talking about the rules for the spring art contest and what he doesn't want to see, like anything fantasy-like. Jeremy ends up feeling nothing but pure anger towards him, which his dragon Tiamat picks up on, resulting in her breathing fire on Mr. Kravitz's shoe, felt by him but unseen by anyone but Jeremy and one of his other classmates. Afterwards, when Mr. Kravitz demands to know who gave him the hotfoot and nobody responds, he retaliates by banning the entire class from participating in the art contest until one of them does confess. When Jeremy eventually does, though without saying how, Mr. Kravitz lifts the ban for everyone but Jeremy. | |

In Who Wet My Pants, Ruben doesn't notice that he has wet his pants (from taking a nap with his hand in a fish tank) and thinks that one of his friends did it. Since he was about to give everyone donuts, and doesn't believe the friends when they say they didn't do it, he decides that "nobody gets donuts until I get answers". | |
