10	Alice has found herself in a sticky situation. Maybe the {{Mooks}} are closing in, or even worse, the BigBad himself. She's on the wrong end of a RunOrDie battle, and running isn't working out too well. Enter Bob — whom Alice may have never met before — with a speedy getaway at the ready. Bob could be a guy on a horse, in a car, on a motorcycle, a wilderness expert, or even a made-of-iron cyborg StoneWall.

12	This is distinguished from TheCavalry because the unexpected rescuer is:
13	#Mostly introduced in this fashion, having only been [[ChekhovsGunman briefly seen or mentioned]] before;
14	#Helping the hero escape, not reinforcing the hero;
15	#Often introduced in this fashion in order to [[CavalryBetrayal leave it open ended whether he's a good guy, bad guy or something in between]].
16
17	All of these factors mean that it's likely to occur ''much'' earlier in the plot than the arrival of TheCavalry.

24	[[foldercontrol]]
25
26	[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
27	* In ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', Meifa does this to Jet when they get shot at by gangsters in the cemetery.
28	* In ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'', the first thing Takashi does upon witnessing Teshima's zombification is run back to his class and get Rei out of there. He's met with some resistance, but Hisashi, who apparently figured out that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Takashi wouldn't behave the way he just did unless it was a life-or-death situation]], calmly brings her outside so Takashi can explain the situation to her while they're making a run for it.
29	* After ''The Final Problem'' arc of ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'', [[spoiler:Sherlock wakes up to find himself and William on a steamship to America after being rescued by UsefulNotes/BillyTheKid, a stranger who promises all the medical care William and his ConvenientComa need...so long as Sherlock agrees to work with him for the US government]].
30	[[/folder]]
31
32	[[folder:Comic Books]]
33	* ComicBook/BoosterGold and ComicBook/BlueBeetle (Ted Kord) once pull this while rescuing one of their old comrades in a BadPresent; Ted says the line and Booster [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat protests]]: "Hey! You said '''I''' could say it!" Booster later pulls this in order to rescue Ted's successor, Jaime Reyes, from an exploding spaceship.
34	* Saya in ''ComicBook/DeadlyClass'' is introduced this way, arriving on a motorcycle.
35	* ComicBook/UltimateMarvel
36	** Occurs in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates 3'' #4.
37	** Jean Grey says this to Liz Allen in ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'' after the latter's mutant powers awaken. Derek Morgan and Jimmy Hudson lightly mock her for it.
38	** Also done in ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'' during the "Ultimatum" event by Kitty Pryde.
39	** ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'': The daughter of the president has been kidnapped by the Brotherhood. She is terrified. Then, a second group of mutants kidnaps her as well. She's still terrified.
40	** ''ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan'': The Shocker tries to steal money from a security van with his powers. Then Spider-Man (still barely known by the public) defeats and disarms him with his super powers. The guys think that he's also after the money, and try to give it to him before he attacks them. Spider-Man flees.
41	* In the first IDW Comics [[ComicBook/TheTransformersMegaseries Transformers mini-series]], Ratchet introduces himself to the traditional MacGuffin-carrying human sidekick with "If you want to live, come with me."
42	* In ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2008'', ComicBook/KangTheConqueror of all people pulls this on the title characters in issue #19.
43	* After making a ''very'' dramatic entrance in the 2013 run of ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'', Noh-Varr tells the heroes "Come with me if you want to be awesome."
44	* ''ComicBook/ThePunisherMAX'': During "Up Is Down And Black Is White", Frank barely escapes from an ambush when a former CIA agent rushes up to him in an SUV. With a more... succinct version of the phrase.
45	-->'''Kathryn:''' Get in the car, asshole!\
46	'''Frank:''' ''Best offer I'm likely to get all night.''
47	[[/folder]]
48
49	[[folder:Fan Works]]
50	* A variation occurs in ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'', when Kyril offers Olga the opportunity to join him in their GreatEscape so he can complete his mission.
51	-->'''Kyril:''' Your choice, stay here and suffer... or live in uncertainty and come with me.
52	[[/folder]]
53
54	[[folder:Films — Animation]]
55	* ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' has the variant, "Hop inside my mouth if you want to live." (ItMakesSenseInContext.) [[spoiler:Especially when it's [[PelicanPackagePouch a pelican]] rescuing Dory and Nemo's father from greedy seagulls]].
56	* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' parodies the trope, along with many others, making the line "Come with me if you wanna not-die."
57	* In ''Anime/SpiritedAway'', Haku asks this of Chihiro when she first enters the spirit world.
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
61	* In ''Film/SeventyOne'', a young boy offers to lead Gary back to his barracks.
62	--> "Come on, I'll take you back to your barracks. It's up to you.. what else are you going to do?"
63	* "[[TropeNamer Come with me if you want to live]]", said in this context, is one of the iconic lines from the ''{{Franchise/Terminator}}'' franchise, occurring [[OncePerEpisode once in every movie]] as well as in the pilot of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles''. Kyle Reese says it first to Sarah, after she initially assumes he's the SerialKiller bumping off people with her name until the Terminator tries to shoot her. When the T-800 says the same to Sarah, it's a CallBack to that scene and it may even have been programmed with the phrase as a TrustPassword by a future John Connor. Subverted in ''Film/TerminatorDarkFate''.
64	-->'''Grace:''' Come with me, or you're gonna die in the next thirty seconds!
65	* Happens in many ''Film/JamesBond'' films.
66	** ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' Bond is escaping from the Osato Chemicals building when Aki drives up beside him and tells him to "Get in!"
67	** In ''Film/{{Spectre}}'', Madeleine Swann asks Bond why she should trust him.
68	--->'''Bond:''' "Because right now, Dr. Swann, I'm your best hope of staying alive."
69	* ''Film/TronLegacy'', involving a [[InsideAComputerSystem light-cycl-um, 4-wheel-drive]], fits the trope to a tee when Flynn Jr. is rescued from the game grid [[spoiler:by a masked Quorra]].
70	* Subverted in ''Film/TheMask''. As Stanley Ipkiss is fleeing the police, Peggy Brandt pulls up in her car and tells him to get in... only to get taken to Dorian's hideout.
71	* Saito in ''Film/{{Inception}}'' pulls up in car in Kenya and rescues Dom from the [[DisproportionateRetribution absurdly]] [[YouHaveFailedMe vindictive assassins]] from a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive rival corporation]]. Saito is also a former victim of Dom's mind-hacking who turned the tables on Dom and hired him, so this is a "friend or foe" example.
72	-->'''Dom:''' You had me tracked too?\
73	'''Saito:''' Protecting my investment.
74	* ''Film/{{Knowing}}''. The [[spoiler: children who were chosen by the angelic aliens to relocate to another, [[Literature/TheBible Garden of Eden-like]], planet]] are actually the only ones who survive the [[spoiler:[[ApocalypseHow apocalypse]] in the end]]. Unless some MindControl is at work here, from the way the children [[spoiler: calmly accept their destiny and let themselves be [[BeamMeUpScotty beamed up]]]], it can be assumed that they were told what is about to happen, and offered this choice beforehand.
75	%% * Rath does this to Electra in ''{{Film/Assassins}}''.
76	* Subverted in ''Film/MarathonMan'', in a rescue attempt.
77	%% * Slight variation in ''Film/SnakesOnAPlane'': "Do as I say, and you live."
78	* Aragorn's introduction in ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' is a particularly slow-moving version of this trope (since his method of escape is "be a wilderness expert" rather than something like "drive a fast car"). This is more true in [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing the film]], where they leave Bree right away; although it's heavily implied in the book that the hobbits wouldn't survive the night without him.
79	* Another "wilderness expert" example is the Mohican rescue in ''Film/LastOfTheMohicans'' (1992 film version).
80	-->"We're movin' outta here, fast. Unless you all's'd rather wait for the next Huron war party to come along."
81	* In ''{{Film/Casper}}'' the 1995 movie, Casper puffs out his chest Arnold-style and says this to Kat before he flies her away.
82	* In ''Film/TheSkulls'', as Chloe runs away from the bad guys trying to kill her (members of the nefarious title club), she's intercepted by yet ''another'' of them. He tells her to get into his car and promises to take her to where her boyfriend Luke (the protagonist, placed in an asylum for trying to expose the group) is being held. Realizing she doesn't have much choice, she jumps in. It turns out he was telling the truth.
83	* In ''Film/Halo4ForwardUntoDawn'', after a BigDamnHeroes moment where he effortlessly kills a sadistic Zealot, [[spoiler:Master Chief]] tells the shell-shocked cadets to come with him.
84	* In ''Film/DoraAndTheLostCityOfGold'', the live-action movie version of ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'', the line is quoted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW6Q8M77-NE the trailer]].
85	* This is the tagline for the movie-within-a-movie in ''Film/AmericasSweethearts''.
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Literature]]
89	* Tallow does this in ''Literature/{{Dragoncharm}}'' when he finds Fortune, who has been ejected from the mountain in a land he would have been unfamiliar with even if it ''wasn't'' covered in snow. Tallow is an expert pathfinder, so although he doesn't use this line, Fortune understands that he really does need to go with Tallow if he wants to live.
90	* Achmed does this to Rhapsody in the book ''[[Literature/SymphonyOfAges Rhapsody]]''. It should be noted that in one of the later books, he says that it would have been more accurate for him to say "Come with me or I'll kill you."
91	* ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1'' is a {{Downplayed}} example, since [[UnfazedEveryman Arthur Dent]] knows Ford Prefect quite well, but doesn't know he's an alien with the only means of [[ApocalypseWow escaping earth]] until he shows up [[TakeThis with a towel]] and a signaling device.
92	* ''Literature/ParanoidMage'': A couple running from the Wild Hunt is rather understandably freaked out to hear a hoarse disembodied voice tell them, "I can save you, but you’ll need to follow my directions." [[spoiler:Callum makes good on his promise, though, using them to lure the Hunt into an ambush that none survive, and getting the couple to safety afterward.]]
93	* ''Wizard's First Rule'', the first book of the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series, has a variation. It's the main protagonist who introduces himself to the newly-introduced character in this manner rather than the other way around. ''And'' he's also a wilderness expert.
94	* In ''Literature/Twilight2005'', Edward rescuing Bella from the [[AttemptedRape would-be-rapists]] in Port Angeles:
95	-->Headlights suddenly flew around the corner, the car almost hitting the stocky one, forcing him to jump back toward the sidewalk. I dove into the road -- ''this'' car was going to stop, or have to hit me. But the silver car unexpectedly fishtailed around, skidding to a stop with the passenger door open just a few feet from me.\
96	"Get in," a furious voice commanded.
97	* Early in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', [[NonActionGuy Jerin]] sees a [[GoodScarsEvilScars scarred woman]] with WhatBeautifulEyes who kisses him before vanishing into the crowd. Later he is kidnapped, and the scarred woman is among the kidnappers, assuring him that she'll help. When he gets free and escapes on horseback, she catches up and pulls him on to ''her'' horse, much to his dismay. But she does help, telling him he'll get back to his wives with his honor intact. [[spoiler:He does, since his rescuer turns out to ''be'' one of his wives, but he hasn't yet met this one.]]
98	* In ''Literature/{{Murderess}}'', Déaspor and the Wizard warn the Caurns to come with them immediately because they were no longer safe where they were. This doesn’t work very well: the mother dies and Aucasis, the daughter is captured by the Dark Ones.
99	* Invoked by name in the conspiracy noir ''Literature/GetBlank'', though the [[TheMenInBlack Man in Black]] rescuer uses the rather more bizarre phrasing, "Enter my conveyance if you wish to retain molecular consistency!"
100	* Used almost word-for-word in the ''Literature/{{Relativity}}'' story "Master Blankard's Pawn". (It's phrased more as an invitation, though: "We're leaving. You can come with if you want to live.")
101	* Used self-consciously and humorously, and immediately lampshaded, in ''Literature/Aeon14'' ''Return To Sol: Star Rise'':
102	-->'''Misha:''' Come with me if you want to live!\
103	'''Nance:''' Lame, You can't use that line!
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
107	* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'':
108	** In the episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse A Hen in the Wolf House]]", [[Comicbook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]], introduced earlier as the head of Comicbook/{{HYDRA}} security, reveals herself as a ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} [[TheMole Mole]] by saving Simmons (who's also a reverse mole, but just had her cover blown) from HYDRA {{Mooks}} and helping her escape.
109	** The episode "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS7E05ATroutInTheMilk A Trout in the Milk]]" is even more blatant with Enoch rescuing part of the team with the variation, "Come with me if you want to continue to exist."
110	* In the pilot of ''{{Series/Alias}}'', Sydney gets rescued in this way by her father. She already knew him (naturally), but this is the first time she learns that he too is a spy...
111	* ''Series/BadEducation'': the line appears in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uCL83aeC1E the season 5 trailer]].
112	* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'': Chuck's mom says this line to him, fittingly, since [[ActorAllusion she is played]] by Creator/LindaHamilton, who originally played Sarah Connor in the ''{{Franchise/Terminator}}'' films.
113	* Spoofed on ''{{Series/Community}}'', during the paintball war episode. "Come with me if you don't want paint on your clothes."
114	* ''Series/{{CSINY}}:'' In "[[Recap/CSINYS06E19 Redemptio]]," Sheldon visits a prison to witness an execution and gets trapped among the inmates when a riot breaks out. One of them decides to help him and convinces Sheldon to follow his lead by saying, "Come with me if you want to live."
115	* Creator/LindaHamilton also portrays Pilar in ''{{Series/Defiance}}'', where she says this to Nolan in the season 3 episode "Broken Bough".
116	* ''Series/DoctorWho'': The Doctor tends to do this a lot.
117	** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose Rose]]": The Ninth Doctor meets Rose this way, saying only "Run!" before dragging her off through a series of basement corridors and an elevator that can be conveniently sealed via sonic screwdriver.
118	** He gives this speech to a minor character in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E12BadWolf Bad Wolf]]", after escaping from a DeadlyGame of ''Series/BigBrother'', promising that if she came with him he'd protect her. [[spoiler:He fails in the next episode.]]
119	** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E2TheFiresOfPompeii The Fires of Pompeii]]": He saves a family from Pompeii's destruction by landing in their living room as the eruption occurs, holding out his hand as ethereal light streams from behind him, saying "Come with me."
120	* In the ''Series/DueSouth'' episode "Spy vs. Spy", one-off character Pike does this twice, rescuing both Fraser and Kowalski on separate occasions.
121	* ''Series/{{Eureka}}'''s Fargo uses the line as a ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' ShoutOut in the episode "Momstrosity".
122	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
123	** Ser Dontos tells Sansa, "If you want to live, we have to leave now," when chaos breaks out in "The Lion and the Rose".
124	** Benjen says this to Bran when he rescues him and Meera.
125	* Harriet showing up to rescue KT, Eddie, and Willow in ''Series/HouseOfAnubis'' while the trio were surrounded by sinners.
126	* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'''s Barney Stinson turns this into a pick-up line while naked: "Come with me if you want to bang."
127	* In the Season 4 opener of ''{{Series/Lost}}'', Locke almost says this trope word for word when trying to convince the survivors to take shelter in The Barracks because the people from the freighter intend to harm them.
128	-->If you wanna live, you need to come with me.
129	* ''Series/TheMiddleman'' has an example complete with ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' ShoutOut in its MirrorUniverse episode -- mirror-[[{{Jerkass}} Pip]] makes his first appearance rescuing Wendy from the mirrored version of her apartment in his car, saying the iconic line.
130	* ''Series/MsMarvel2022'': In episode #4, after Kamala tussles with Kareem, aka Red Dagger, some police start running toward them.
131	-->'''Kareem''': Come with me if you want to live!\
132	'''Kamala''': [[FlatWhat What?]]\
133	'''Kareem''': Just kidding, IAlwaysWantedToSayThat. But really, we should go, there's someone you need to meet.
134	* ''{{Series/Nikita}}'' uses this a fair bit when foiling assassinations. Her [[TheMole mole]] in Division is not able to find out about these operations until the last minute so Nikita gets there just barely ahead of the assassins (sometimes she is late).
135	* Inverted in the ''Series/StargateSG1'' season 5 episode "Desperate Measures", with a completely villainous variant. Colonel Frank Simmons says this basically word-for-word to the Goa'uld possessing Adrian Conrad -- after having put a couple of bullets from behind into the protagonist, Colonel O'Neill.
136	* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'': In "[[Recap/StarTrekPicardS1E06TheImpossibleBox The Impossible Box]]", having just been betrayed to her death by her lover, Soji is understandably reluctant when Picard shows up claiming to be a friend of her father and urges her to come with him. She goes along more because she has no other choice if she wants to get off the Artifact alive.
137	* Parodied in the ''{{Series/Supernatural}}'' episode "Party On, Garth", nerdy hunter Garth yells this while trying to rescue a VictimOfTheWeek, however said victim can't see the invisible Shojo that's coming after him and just thinks Garth is crazy.
138	* Darkly subverted in season 4 of ''Series/TeenWolf'', in an episode's ColdOpening in which [[spoiler: Garrett drives by a female werewolf who's being hunted by Violet and yells at her this trope; seeing no other option to escape, she gets in Garrett's car. He then comments he couldn't believe she fell for that before stabbing her to death with wolfsbane.]]
139	* In the first episode of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'' Cameron, a normal teenage girl, says this to John Connor as he's being attacked by a Terminator. [[FirstEpisodeTwist It turns out she's a Terminator herself, but a good one sent by his older self from the future to protect him.]]
140	* Glenn's introduction in ''Series/TheWalkingDead'' is this. It's the same way in the comic, too.
141	[[/folder]]
142
143	[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
144	* ''{{TabletopGame/Shadowrun}}'' adventure ''Harlequin''. The {{PC}}s are on a mission when things go haywire, with corporate police closing in from all directions. A van pulls up beside them and the driver says "So, are you guys going my way or would you rather stick around and wait for your new friends to catch up with us?"
145	* ''TabletopGame/HollowEarthExpedition'' supplement ''Secrets of the Surface World''. Used by Erich Reinhardt in the adventure "Prisoner of the Reich" to get the {{PC}}s to go with him when they're attacked by Nazis.
146	* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'': Due to the way [[BackFromTheDead Abyssal Exaltation]] works, this is the standard operating procedure of recruiting new Death Knights. Technically though, you're no longer "alive" in the normal sense after you take the Black Exaltation.
147	* In ''TabletopGame/PsionicsTheNextStageInHumanEvolution'' this is, verbatim, the first line in ''Broken Things''. Justified, as the speaker is saving an esper from a government research/indoctrination facility.
148	[[/folder]]
149
150	[[folder:Video Games]]
151	* ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': Lin Yühsia says this verbatim to the captured dignitaries and contestants she's trying to rescue in "Dossoles Holiday".
152	-->'''Lin Yühsia''': Come with me if you want to live.
153	* Your introduction to [[StalkerWithACrush Elanee]] in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2''.
154	* Lampshaded in the beginning of the second stage in ''VideoGame/JonathanKaneTheProtector'', once Jonathan rescued his OldFlame, Jennifer. "I'm your only option if you want to live. Now let's go!"
155	* Every ending of the various Origin chapter versions in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''. The player character is rescued by Duncan out of a threatening situation and more or less reluctantly joins the Grey Wardens. With the possible exception of the Mage origin (if the player [[spoiler: sides with Irving and betrays Jowan]]), all of them will result in the death of the player character without agreeing to join Duncan.
156	* ''VideoGame/PerfectDark'' spins a dark twist on the ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' mythos when [[spoiler:the primary agent of the [[BigBad Skedar]] "Mr. Blonde" infiltrates the dataDyne headquarters, planting a bomb and killing everyone except the CEO [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Cassandra De Vries]]. Blonde disarms her gun and informs her "Go to the helipad, if you want to live". The subversion is that its not for her own safety, but ultimately to be brought to "[[KangarooCourt Skedar Justice]]" aboard the mothership]]. The overall effect is heightened by some remarkably Terminator-esque music, sans the hopeful tone in the original piece.
157	* Inverted in ''{{VideoGame/Borderlands}}''. One of the taunts for the Bandit-Traps is "Come with me if you want to die."
158	* Also appears in ''VideoGame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'' when Loader Bot shows up to save Fiona and Sasha from an attacking Athena.
159	-->'''Loader Bot''': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQJrRAN9_BQ Come with me if you want to leave.]]
160	* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''
161	** Hadvar, a legionnaire and born-and-raised Nord is the hand-holder through the starter dungeon. Helps compensate for the fact that the Legion just (mistakenly) almost executed you, as he tried (although failed) to convince the others to let you go... before all hell breaks loose when a dragon shows up on the scene.
162	** You get two characters that fit this trope in the opening quest; Hadvar and Ralof, a Stormcloak rebel who you shared a wagon with on the way to your execution. When the dragon attacks, you first run off with Ralof, then with Hadvar after you get separated, and moments later you and Hadvar run into Ralof again, and you have the choice of following either one. Interestingly enough, both credit you with saving their lives during the starter dungeon; while they're this trope up until you're freed of your binds, once you're free to fight you're more than pulling your weight.
163	* In ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'', Soldier gets a new line with his robot costume: "Come with me if you want to live... with me... in my apartment... I need a roommate."
164	* In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'', Leon tries persuading Ben, who is in jail, with, "Look, if you wanna live, then you're gonna have to leave with me," when Ben thinks he's safe from monsters, unaware that Leon is "[[SoleSurvivor the only cop left alive]]" in the police department. Ben refuses Leon's offer and stays in his cell, thinking he would be safer behind bars. Later on, he opens his cell and gets attacked by a monster, dying moments later after giving Leon big info about the corrupted Chief of Police.
165	* ''VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh'': Like the ''Film/TronLegacy'' example above (and probably inspired it, despite being AlternateContinuity), Jet is able to escape the Game Grid when his opponent Mercury blasts her way out and orders him to follow.
166	* ''Franchise/MassEffect'':
167	** Commander Shepard is often fond of this form of rescue, though his/her introductions to Liara, Tali, and Jack are the best examples.
168	** Miranda's appearance at the end of the tutorial level in the second game resembles this.
169	* Australian Special Agent Alura [=McCall=] gives James Bond such a rescue in ''VideoGame/{{Nightfire}}''.
170	* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': Illidan says something very similar to this to the players in the Well of Eternity time-travel dungeon:
171	--> '''Illidan''': Come with me if you'd like to live long enough to see me save this world!
172	* Season two episode 3 of ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' has Sarah who is completely catatonic after [[spoiler: seeing her father get shot in the neck and dies right before her eyes]]. Clementine and Jane find her and Luke trapped in a trailer home surrounded by walkers. As the walkers close in on the group, you can have Clementine [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan slap Sarah in the face to snap her out of it]] and tell her that she will die if she doesn't escape with them.
173	* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'': Twice in the prologue level. First, Ishmael rescues Snake from an assassin and leads him out of the hospital; then, after they get out but are separated, Ocelot shows up on horseback to help Snake escape the Man on Fire.
174	* ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' contains two instances as character voice lines that can be applied : Ana received "Follow me if you want to live" in an Anniversary Update. Baptiste later had the line added verbatim.
175	* ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiV'': Soon after the main character is suddenly transported into [[EldritchLocation the Netherworld (later known as "Da'at")]], he is attacked by a swarm of flying Daemons. With no means of defending himself, it seems like he will be easy prey; enter Aogami, who [[DynamicEntry destroys one of the Daemons as he arrives from the sky]], and then essentially says this trope as he reaches his hand out to the main character. Upon taking his hand, the two fuse into [[HalfHumanHybrid the Nahobino]], which gives the main character the ability to fight back against the Daemons and the many, many other demons in Da'at.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Visual Novels]]
179	* Jeremy in ''VisualNovel/FatalHearts'' shows up in his car to provide a convenient escape from certain sticky situations the protagonist gets into. It's the player's choice whether to take it or not.
180	[[/folder]]
181
182	[[folder:Webcomics]]
183	* In ''Webcomic/{{Skyvein}}'', when Emi and Feng break Taisce out of jail, this is essentially their appeal to them.
184	* ''Webcomic/WildeLife'': Oscar, a diehard ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' fan, [[https://www.wildelifecomic.com/comic/598 quotes]] the line verbatim when he arrives just in time to beat a monster away from Cliff with a baseball bat.
185	[[/folder]]
186
187	[[folder:Web Original]]
188
189	* ''ItWebOriginal/DinaMarino'': Gideon does this to help [[spoiler: Siria escape from korean police]].
190	* [[https://soranews24.com/2016/05/27/scotto-senseis-easy-cheesy-five-minute-japanese-y-learn-the-first-five-hiragana%e3%80%90manga-1%e3%80%91/ In this [=SoraNews24=] article,]] the first image shown is a man with a "Rocket News Launcher" saying "Come with me if you want to learn Japanese!", spoofing its' use in the ''Terminator'' franchise.
191	[[/folder]]
192
193	[[folder:Web Videos]]

200	* Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai''. Mizu does this twice; once to a SexSlave and the next to runaway princess Akemi in the following episode.
