You Just Told Me	comment	Ben has a secret. Stan, typically a rival or enemy, indicates, in some fashion, that he knows it—either by stating so directly or by implying it with his words or actions. Ben reacts in a way that confirms Stan's suspicions—sometimes, though not always, by outright asking "how did you know?", in which case the answer, of course, is this trope's name. The ploy used to force The Reveal can be an outright declaration that they know, a specific word/phrase, or (if the character is hiding their identity) a name or something spoken in the other character's native language. It can even be a non-verbal prompt, such as a familiar face, location, scent, etc. The point of the trope is that the mark is hiding something, and the deceiver tricks them into revealing it by acting as if he already knows the truth. One of The Oldest Tricks in the Book. Subtrope of Reflexive Response and Batman Gambit. See also Pull the Thread, Out-of-Character Alert, Bluffing the Murderer. If one deliberately makes a mistake to goad another into correcting them when they otherwise wouldn't, see Correction Bait. If the deceiver wasn't suspicious until the infiltrator responded the way they did, it's Something Only They Would Say. If the deceived says something that only an impostor wouldn't be suspicious of, it's Bluff the Impostor. I Never Said It Was Poison may occur if the infiltrator mentions some facts about the case that the deceiver hadn't revealed. Suspiciously Specific Denial is totally not a related way of letting information slip. This also gives Ben a case of Implausible Deniability. Not to be confused with How Did You Know? I Didn't, where someone appears to act on certain information that another person knows is secret, then reveals at the end that they didn't know it after all. The inverted trope is I Never Told You My Name, when it's the infiltrator's cover that's blown by revealing that they know too much about the deceived. Compare Freudian Slip, I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You! and Cold Reading. Sister trope to Thought They Knew Already.

You Just Told Me / int_109f7814	comment	Sherlock: Holmes does this on numerous occasions, notably to get Irene Adler to reflexively glance at the cabinet where the compromising photos she took are in "A Scandal in Belgravia". In another episode, the great detective questions a woman by making deliberately incorrect guesses. The woman is eager to humiliate Sherlock and smugly corrects him each time, after which he thanks her for volunteering the information he was looking for.

Vimes keeps a totally straight face, only to realize that that gave him away more thoroughly than anything he could have said. Although in that case Coates didn't even need the confirmation, as he did actually know for a fact that Vimes wasn't the real Keel because Keel had been Coates' own mentor in the past. Also done at the end of the book, when Vetinari calls Commander Samuel Vimes Sergeant, and Vimes replies instantly. Vimes accuses Vetinari of having known all along, and is told "Not until, oh, one second ago."

You Just Told Me / int_1463a028	comment	Shows up in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Which is completely ridiculous, because that's the answer any psychiatrist with half a brain would give regardless of whether or not they even recognized the person. They cannot confirm or deny. A neutral answer is the only thing that a psychiatrist—or any physician—should ever give. Law & Order: UK: The detectives have arrived at a junkyard to look for a murder suspect. The supervisor denies that he's there. Suspecting otherwise, DS Devlin very casually calls out, "Oi, Freddy!" Sure enough, the "Freddy" in question looks up, then further confirms his identity by bolting when he sees the cops. In one episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Goren and Eames are trying to find the missing daughter of a family annihilator. They suspect that he hadn't actually killed her yet (because she had apparently been tied up and transported elsewhere, while this killer tended to kill his victims wherever they happened to be), but they can't be sure, so Goren asks the killer why he spared his daughter's life. The killer actually recognizes the trap and tries to avoid it by giving an ambiguous response, but Goren knows that if he had killed her, he would have just said outright that she was dead; the fact that he's hedging could only mean that the daughter is in fact still alive.

Sirius tries to deny that Regulus is in his house, but Lucretia claims that Remus has told her about Regulus. Sirius demands why Remus told her the secret (he actually hasn't), which immediately confirms to Lucretia that Regulus really is in the house.

House puts an X-ray on the lightboard, and says he can tell the person is about 15. The kid confesses to lying about his age. After a brief conversation, House reveals that it wasn't even the kid's X-ray. In the same episode, House temporarily shrinks the patient's tumor in order to make it small enough to be operated on. Soon after, Cuddy tells him that she knows about something he did that he shouldn't have. House tries to cover by saying that he didn't want anyone to know it's his birthday and he figured Cameron told Cuddy. Cuddy really was talking about his birthday, but she can tell by his reaction that he thought she was talking about his case and goes to find out what he did, which doesn't take long.

You Just Told Me / int_248a0d14	comment	Frequently done by Cal Lightman in Lie to Me to get the criminal-of-the-week to reveal themselves. One case involved a woman in the US Army claiming to have been repeatedly raped by her commanding officer. While Cal quickly figures out that she's lying, she actually did that for her friend whom that same officer was raping. He would threaten to put her in the front vehicle of a convoy, which is often the first to be hit in an ambush or by a mine. When questioning him in front of the base commander, Cal pushes the point until the officer unintentionally yells out that he never puts her in the first vehicle. The base commander realizes the implications of this: he doesn't put her in the first vehicle, even though he's supposed to as part of the normal rotation, because she's sleeping with him. The base commander calls the MPs to take the officer away.

Also done at the end of the book, when Vetinari calls Commander Samuel Vimes Sergeant, and Vimes replies instantly. Vimes accuses Vetinari of having known all along, and is told "Not until, oh, one second ago."

It sorta works, with Cam showing relief and even outright telling her that Zac should have told her in the first place, which at least confirms that Zac has a secret to hide. However, Evie legitimately has no idea whatsoever what Zac's secret is, and accidentally gives the bluff away by saying it's something everyone has to go through. Since Cam knows full well that the secret in question is suddenly gaining merman powers, he doesn't buy it past that.

In Quantum of Solace, M calls CIA to ask about a member of Quantum they're investigating. She gets transferred to Gregg Beam, who denies any operations. M then tells her subordinate that this proves the opposite, as there would be no need for the CIA Section Chief for South America to personally get this call otherwise.

The killer actually recognizes the trap and tries to avoid it by giving an ambiguous response, but Goren knows that if he had killed her, he would have just said outright that she was dead; the fact that he's hedging could only mean that the daughter is in fact still alive.

You Just Told Me / int_73d7930f	comment	In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Dr Bashir is up for a major medical award. He insists that there is no chance of victory for him, and so he does not wish to discuss it. Another occurrence appears in "The Ascent", in which Odo is delighted to receive orders to arrest Quark and bring him to a Federation court, but isn't told why. He drops several clues to Quark that he does know, such as "Oh, I think you KNOW why I'm arresting you," trying to invoke this trope. It works, but not in time to prevent the Orion Syndicate from trying to blow up their ship, leaving them stranded on an uninhabitable planet. It turns out Quark wasn't even being charged with a crime, but rather subpoenaed as a reluctant/unwilling witness against the Syndicate, which is why they're after him. Quark and Odo are both incensed at each other when they discover the bomb which was planted on the shuttlecraft. Quark is mad at Odo for trying to invoke this trope on him, while Odo defensively lashes out that if Quark had just spilled the beans they'd have had a lot more security in place for their trip.

She confirms her suspicions by bluffing to him about the bullet he left behind, exaggerating its effectiveness as an identification tool until he confesses to her. She then advises him to allow himself to trust good people like Sara and Elena, as a hunter needs friends to survive.

When the scientist refuses to name the source who brought the rumors to him, the politician asks if they can just assume it's his political rival and move on. He keeps on using the rival's name for the name of the source in their conversation, until the scientist forgets that he's supposed to be keeping it a secret and uses it himself. The politician, who used to be a lawyer, calls this a "shyster trick".

In the original series, when watching Kira fight, Andrew Waltfeld quickly deduces that the Strike Gundam's pilot is a Coordinator. He later figures out that Kira is the pilot, most likely by watching his actions during a Blue Cosmos terrorist attack both are caught in. Realizing Kira is a both a Coordinator and not a native, and puts two and two together. He then confronts Kira in a scene which is played like he flat out knows what he is saying is true. In the novel, he suspects it (bases on his observations), but isn't quite sure, and uses one of these to confirm it.

When the Germans tell them in English to lower the sails, Captain Mallory is terrified that the captain of their fishing boat and youngest member of the group, Lieutenant Andy Stevens, will fall for it and reply, because the fishermen they are poising at would not know English. Not only does Stevens stare at the German in utter incomprehension, when the man continues to give orders in English, the Lieutenant has the cheek to tell him (in Greek) that he doesnâ€™t understand German and asks him to speak in his language.

You Just Told Me / int_8d814070	comment	In the MAS*H episode "Out of sight, out of mind", Hawkeye gets temporarily blinded by an exploding camp stove; and goes to sit in a nurses' tent for a while as he's at loose ends. One of them is cautious about undressing with a man in the tent, even thought he can't see her. At the end, after he is cured, he wraps his head back up again and goes back into the same tent, tells them he has had a relapse, and suggests that they would be perfectly safe undressing. One of them promptly tosses a mug at him, which he catches perfectly; and they throw him out of the tent with some alacrity. An earlier episode had a rash of thefts occur in the 4077th, with the stolen articles found in Hawkeye's footlocker. To catch the real thief, Hawkeye stages a conversation with Henry to be broadcast over the PA, saying the equipment to get fingerprints off the stolen items is en route. The items are subsequently stolen from Henry's desk. Hawkeye then gathers all the "suspects" (everyone who had something stolen, or simply held a grudge against Hawkeye) to the mess hall, where he says he treated the stolen goods with chemical that would turn the thief's fingernails blue. The culprit turns out to be Ho-jon, who was going to sell the stolen goods on the black market to get money to smuggle his family out of Korea. He gives himself away by hiding his hands under the table when Hawkeye makes the "reveal".

He shouldn't have known about the bombings because he had been in a coma when they took place. (If you're curious about how he managed to set off the bombings while in a coma, watch the episode in full). In another episode, Monk cleared Willie Nelson's name by proving that the other suspect wasn't blind (or at least, not completely blind)—he had a streaker run past her, and she reacted. In yet another episode, the murderer had to make sure that his wife's corpse was found without revealing that he had killed her, so he staged it to look like a psychic had found the body. Monk trapped him by getting the psychic to accuse him of murder, thus forcing him to discredit her—and he helpfully though inadvertently confessed in the process.

The agent (and the film) treat this moment as incontrovertible proof, even though the two are alone (so, no matter what name he utters, he can't possibly be talking to anyone else) and her confused reaction is a completely natural one. note She does irrevocably out herself a minute later by attacking him, but his mind was already made up; further, he had (off screen) checked a sporting competition she was registered in — under her real name rather than her alias.

All of Jotaro's comrades instinctively move to touch their nose — as does the supposedly Muggle ship captain, exposing him as the Stand user and The Mole. Anne, the stowaway who had been briefly suspected as being the enemy stand user, just looks on, confused, as she doesn't know what a Stand is. In Diamond is Unbreakable, Josuke and Okuyasu head to a shoe store where Koichi and Jotaro got injured fighting Yoshikage Kira, the latter (who's injured himself) attempting to crawl away, and pretending to be a victim of an explosion in the store when that fails. When Josuke tells Kira he can heal him, Kira confirms Josuke's suspicions by telling him to hurry up and do so, whereas a normal person would have doubted him, due to the nature of Stands. Steel Ball Run: When Gyro manages to briefly break past Love Train and cut off Funny Valentine's ear, he grows suspicious that Gyro's horse may be influencing his Steel Ball's rotation. Johnny discovers the same thing and goes to tell Gyro that Valentine already knows about the rotation effects due to the detached ear, but Valentine overhears his yelling, causing his suspicions to be confirmed.

You Just Told Me / int_d4fe0152	comment	The second season of Oz begins in the aftermath of a prison riot, with an investigator trying to find out who shot and wounded McManus, a high-ranking prison administrator, and how a prisoner named Scott Ross was shot multiple times and killed by a weapon that was reported missing from the prison's equivalent of a SWAT team, a weapon which later reappeared in the prison armory without explanation. Near the end of the episode, the investigator confronts McManus and explains a crucial fact McManus had left out of his prior account, which would lead to revealing the identity of the person who killed Ross. After a long period of silence, McManus grudgingly asks "Who told you that?" Three guesses what the response is.

They knew there were at least two others and wanted the captured member to identify their pictures. The gang member had no intention of helping them but when her eyes lingered a little longer on one of her friends, Parker picked up the picture and she immediately blurted out "But I didn't say anything!" In the series finale, the team believed the bomber placed ten bombs, based on the list of complaints they've been receiving and some hints from his manifesto. After five bombs were defused/detonated, Jules talked with the bomber and asked him "Where are the other five bombs?", to which he was surprised that they knew there were five left, confirming their theory.

Interestingly, after leaving the academy, "Keiran", going by yet another name, is questioned about Luke. He goes on to display an appalling lack of knowledge about one of the single most famous and important people in the galaxy in order to keep up the ruse. In Dark Force Rising, when Mara Jade, a former assassin for Emperor Palpatine, meets with Grand Admiral Thrawn, he says, "Come closer, Mara Jade." (The two had met several years before and she was under an assumed name.) She begins instinctively walking forward, catches herself and comments that Thrawn shouldn't have to rely on such cheap tricks to verify who she was. He agrees, and then asks her questions that only she would know the answer to. Used again in the same book. No one in the New Republic knows the name of the new Grand Admiral on the scene. Han Solo meets with a ship thief who does know, and is offering to show Han the location of a lost fleet before the Empire finds it. In Zahn's Outbound Flight, Thrawn is able to get an awful lot of information out of a Corellian guest/prisoner who really doesn't want to tell him these things by working this method into conversation, though he makes it look effortless and never actually says the trope name.

He only has hunches, but by story's end she's told him enough to prosecute (if he wished). Earlier in the same story, he has the following exchange with a servant he suspects of working with the gang, when he asks her who she was seen talking to: Another strategy of his is, rather than just ask someone for a description, to make up a description and check if it's accurate. In a variant of the above, in "The Blue Carbuncle", when he sees the witness has a copy of the Sporting Times, he says something he knows is wrong, and claims to have a bet with Watson on it. The man, who would have refused to answer questions, is only too pleased to settle a bet.

(He does.) Truth in Television, as intelligence agencies often consider the questions their opposite numbers have as being just as informative as actual information: it tells them what the other side does or doesn't know. One of the reasons double agents are rarely just given "shopping lists" for specific pieces of intelligence, instead of vague areas of interest.

You Just Told Me / int_f53fe2fa	comment	The bad guys tried this quite frequently on Mission: Impossible, but one notable case had a gangster see Rollin (playing a deaf waiter) react slightly when a large amount of money was mentioned. In order to test the him, the gangster fires off a revolver next to his ear. Rollin fakes not hearing it, passes the test, and reacts in agony at the pain when he gets out of sight. (It's worth noting that the pain experienced from loud noises is because of the concussive force striking your ear drum, so while a deaf person may not be able to hear the sound, they are certainly capable of feeling it, and the associated pain.) Another episode had the team infiltrating a camp where foreign agents were being trained to pass as Americans. Rollin intentionally blows one such test to prove he's a "genuine" newbie who wouldn't know how Americans would act. And in yet another, he catches a glass vase abruptly tossed at him by a foreign spy, who knows the spy Rollin is impersonating is left handed.

Kimble involuntarily looks up, giving himself away. In the original script, Kimble doesn't look up when Gerard calls to him, even though other people in the stairway do. However, he does freeze in place for a moment (no doubt stopping himself from reacting to the sound of his name), before continuing down the stairs at a visibly faster pace than before. The misstep and deliberate lack of response tips Gerard off just the same.
