At its simplest form, a character reveals himself to be an undercover police officer, FBI agent, what have you. Often, he's acting as The Mole, trying to get enough evidence on the villain to arrest him for Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking. It's entirely possible that we, the viewers, won't find out until the rest of the characters do as well. Depending on what side of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, this may or may not end badly for the cop. Subtrope of The Reveal. Closely related to The Infiltration, which involves a law enforcement officer pretending to be a criminal in order to join/infiltrate the bad guys' organization. Compare Booked Full of Mooks. Contrast Can Always Spot a Cop, where police officers are too obvious to ever get very far in their efforts to go undercover. Compare and contrast Must State If You're a Cop where a police officer is forced to do this by someone else. |

In Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Amanda has a gambling problem and racks up a sizable debt with a local casino. When she's identified as a cop, a couple of guys take her to the back room and check her for a wire. They, and their boss, immediately assume she's a dirty cop and start blackmailing her in order to do things for them that only a cop can do. Throughout all this, she has to deal with an overbearing Irishman named Declan, who appears to be the casino owner's Number Two and her chief enforcer. At one point, she fails in a task and they threaten to expose her. In desperation, she offers herself to Declan, who sends his underling out of the room and turns on a camera, before seemingly pushing her down to his crotch level. At the episode's climax, he reveals that he's actually Lieutenant Declan Murphy of NYPD. We then see the recording, where he actually stops short of anything indecent and tells Rollins (without an Irish accent) that he's in Vice and working undercover, and that since she's unwittingly worked her way into a position where she can help him, he's bringing her in officially as another undercover rather than busting her. In an earlier episode, the leader of a neo-Nazi group was on trial for setting up a shooting that killed a little boy. In the middle of the trial, his son and another of his followers shoot up the courtroom. The son injures Elliot and stands over him, preparing to finish him off, when he is shot by "Star Morrison" a woman who was supposedly a close friend of the defendant. In the following scene, she introduces herself properly to Munch as FBI Agent Dana Lewis. In another, Stabler is arresting the dealer who's been supplying his daughter with drugs when she mutters to him that she's a narcotics detectives. They go through the motions of an arrest so as not to blow her cover. In yet another episode, Olivia goes undercover as a homeless woman to catch a social worker who's been abusing his position to sexually harass women. Sure enough, he starts feeling her up while "helping" her fill out the form. Then they get to the part about most recent employer. Munch gets one in an early season episode where they're trying to catch a travel agent setting up sex tours for pedophiles. He pretends to be a prospective client, and the agent begins arranging a "special" trip for him. During the infamous "Monkey in the basketball" episode, the bad guy is arrested by Elliott but then he says to check his belt buckle. Inside is a listening device. He was an undercover cop all along and getting arrested is part of his plan to bust the animal smuggling operation being ran out of prison. One episode had a undercover Secret Service agent get caught up in a search for a murderer of a college student with a gambling problem. The Secret Service agent had moved the body to ensure it was found, a mislead he apologizes for when he's off the clock. |

During an episode of Adam-12, Reed and Malloy pull a car over for a traffic violation. The passenger starts getting argumentative with the cops, causing Malloy to run him and arrest him for an outstanding warrant. As they're transporting him to the station, he thanks them for not blowing his cover — he's a Narcotics detective and the driver of the car is suspected of being a supplier. He also says that Malloy "arresting" him will make it easier for him to get close to the suspect. | |

House had a patient brought in who was part of a drug-smuggling gang, who refuses to tell House where the hideout is as it might cause the upcoming raid to fail, despite House needing to know what he got sick from. His buddy (who doesn't know he's a cop) eventually lets them in, but the cop's disease is fatal, and he dies without having blown his cover. | |

A mild version in Lie to Me where Foster starts dating a high school guidance councilor, only to get strange vibes from him. She then finds passports with different identities and evidence of drugs. After she confronts the guy about it, he admits that he's DEA, sent to uncover a school trafficking ring. He later reveals it to Cal as well, given that Cal can't help but stick his nose in other people's business. | |

This trope has been used at least once on Castle, and probably several times. The protagonists are investigating a murder and an early suspect turns out to be an agent of the FBI or ATF who was investigating the victim (or employing the victim somehow, or investigating or another suspect) for their own reasons. The murder of a dog show judge leads the cops (and Castle) all over the place. Eventually, they find a warehouse, where the victim's assistant claims that the guy was trying to cross-breed dogs. After digging around, they start to suspect that the victim was involved in bringing drugs from South America. They confront the "assistant", who immediately tells them that they will, in fact, find drugs hidden in the warehouse. He's a US Customs agent. The victim was employed to train drug-sniffing dogs (hence the drugs and the $10,000/month money transfers). Ryan does this in-universe in "The Wild Rover". If the audience didn't already know, that ending would've been pretty impressive. |

A Line to Kill: Maissa Lamar the poet turns out to not be a poet at all. She and the mysterious blond-haired man who followed her to the literary festival are French undercover cops who were on Alderney to investigate the corrupt business dealings of Charles le Masurier, who is then murdered. This trope is played out differently than how it usually goes, when master detective Hawthorne unmasks them both as bumbling dopes who found le Mesurier's body but didn't tell anybody, thus letting the scene go cold, and also left bloody footprints and a smear of blood in le Mesurier's office, further confusing the murder investigation. | |

On NCIS: Los Angeles Eric Christian Olsen's first appearance is as an MMA fighter and murder suspect called Jason Wyler. It's not until halfway through the episode that Hetty reveals that he is LAPD Detective Marty Deeks, undercover. All the team members are highly trained and experiences in undercover work so this happens in-universe fairly often. Since they hate burning a cover identity, they will try to delay the reveal as long as possible. One of Callan's old girlfriends spent years believing that he was her brother's criminal friend who had to leave town after the cops got too close. |

Tricky Business, a rare non-humor book by Dave Barry (although it does have its moments), is about an illegal casino ship that is also a base for drug dealers, things go wrong, etc. On of the POV characters is a pretty young lady who works as a cocktail waitress, hates her job, and her mother always tells her to quit because it's so dangerous... Makes perfect sense, until the very last part of the book when it's revealed that "cocktail waitress" was just a disguise: she is actually a badass undercover cop, and now everything suddenly sounds a lot smarter. | |

In The Fast and the Furious (2001): Brian O'Conner reveals to Mia that he is a cop at the end of the movie. The viewer has known this all along but it allows some drama between O'Conner and the girl he has been sleeping with and eventually persuades her to help him track down the truck thieves. Several scenes later, it's repeated when O'Conner calls for police back-up and an ambulance after rescuing Vince. Dom, who had considered Brian his brother up to this point, has to seriously restrain himself from not beating the living shit of him. Instead, he takes off. |

Of course, we don't see him undercover- just working out of an office while addressing his thug-like subordinates. The siblings' butler Mario, however, is first shown telephoning intel, so Jamal's true occupation also reveals him. | |

He becomes suspicious of her current boyfriend, who has a criminal record, suspicions which seem to be born out when he and Fawkes catch the guy scheming with others to steal military tech and sell it on the black market. After they capture him, it turns out that he's an undercover FBI agent (and thus his criminal record is fake) and was involved in a sting operation which they nearly ruined. | |

Happens twice in the Chick Tracts. In "Bad Bob", Bob and his cousin deal drugs, and find out their buyer is a cop when he reads them their rights. In "Trust Me", the kid, to fund his drug habit, sells drugs to an undercover cop with a briefcase full of money, resulting in the cop pulling out a pistol and a badge, which is less surprising than most examples of the trope because he gets down on his knees and says "Trust me!". |

The Wire: In season 1, Orlando (the Barksdale gang's frontman) decides to sell dope too. He meets with a guy who is willing to supply him. The guy shows Orlando something (probably his badge) which causes his face to go Oh, Crap!. Orlando sets up a meet with undercover Kima along for the ride. They are instead both shot at. Wee-Bey also goes Oh, Crap! and get out of town when he finds out that Orlando's girl was a cop. Hilariously subverted in the fourth season. Prez, formerly a cop until he accidentally shot another cop, becomes a school teacher, but Bubbles (formerly a police informant) sees him at the school, and not knowing Prez is no longer police, assumes Prez is setting himself up for this, and promises not to spill the beans. Prez, of course, has no idea what Bubbles is talking about. |

In one episode of Criminal Minds Morgan and Reid spot that the friend of a kidnapped girl's father is carrying a concealed gun; he's a Federal Marshal and the family are in the Witness Protection Program while waiting to testify against the Mob. Taken to an extreme in another episode. The BAU team is watching an apartment they believe belongs to the unsub. When they get confirmation, they cross the street to his building. Every person they pass pulls out a gun and joins the assault. The mail carrier, the trucker having engine problems, the couple with a stroller, the random guy with a Rasta hat, everyone. No word on how they cleared the area of civilians without tipping off the unsub, but it makes for a cool shot. |

The Standoff At Sparrow Creek: When Gannon questions the other militia members one-by-one early on, it is revealed that Noah is an undercover cop keeping tabs on the militia (with Gannon being his Secret-Keeper). Noah says his handler died during the shooting, so he will be unable to prove this and can’t use his status to help himself or the group during the investigation. It turns out he is lying and faked the series of shootings as a False Flag Operation to wipe the militia out. | |

Grand Theft Auto IV: Niko's girlfriend Michelle confesses to him that she's a government agent (working with the IAA, specifically, as revealed in Grand Theft Auto V) at the end of the mission "The Snow Storm". She only started dating him to keep an eye on him and his criminal associates. A more minor example in the appropriately named mission "Blow Your Cover": The contact that Niko and Johnny are meant to do a drug deal with is a very thinly disguised undercover cop who gives up the act almost immediately, resulting in a large shootout. |

When Chip and Dale wish that the events of the episode never happened, the scene cuts back to the dock, but this time the lamp doesn't get snatched and the payment doesn't get scattered.
