If the audience has been unaware of Bob's alignment up to that point, this can be the way the ReverseMole is revealed. It's also highly likely that Bob/Bridget has been putting in place TheInfiltration or acted as the FakeDefector.

Therefore, he makes the guards believe that he wants a few minutes ''alone'' with the prisoner, perhaps she needs to be "[[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique interrogated]]." The guards let him into Alice's cell and leave them to it, chortling at the evilness of their buddy's intentions.

* UsefulNotes/GeorgeWashington pulled this on a double spy. He had the guards leave him and John Honeyman. Washington then used this opportunity to have Honeyman give false information to Col. Rall and give Honeyman a key so that he could escape from the Guardhouse. Honeyman went to Rall, gave him the false information and that was a major contribution to how George Washington won the Battle of Trenton in 1776.[[note]]Rall failed pathetically in a list of other ways, as well, starting with "ego".[[/note]]

* ''Series/Daredevil2015'': Karen tries one in season 3 to visit Fisk and provoke him into attacking her so he'll violate his parole and be sent back to prison. At first trying to do so by revealing she's visited his mother, she gets him to snap by revealing that she killed James Wesley. The attempt fails, and Fisk retaliates by ordering a hit on her, carried out by Dex.

* ''Comicbook/{{Empowered}}'': Spooky invoked this trope at the start of her suicide run to save Mindf██k from Hell, spoofing the security systems at the [=HomeyCrib=] into recording her magically seizing Empowered by force when she was alone on monitor duty and making her hack the portal network when in reality she was begging for help. That plan went south when Emp insisted on coming along.[[/folder]]
