* In an episode of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine,'' O'Brien's wife Keiko is possessed by a Pah Wraith that threatens to kill her unless O'Brien helps it with some bizarre scheme. O'Brien reluctantly goes along with it until he figures out exactly what the Wraith's plan is. [[spoiler: It wanted to use the station's equipment to kill the Prophets. O'Brien changes things so the energy zap intended for the wormhole instead hits their runabout, killing the Wraith and freeing Keiko.]]

* [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2 Olga Gurlukovitch]] turns out to be working for the Patriots because they kidnapped her newborn daughter, Sunny. This serves as a KickTheDog moment for TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness. Especially with TheReveal that [[spoiler:she has a bomb implanted in her which is set to go off if Raiden dies]]. Who needs a "I have faith in you" motivational speech when you got "Screw up and an innocent child will die with you"?

Added DiffLines:

* Shortly before the climax of Volume 7 of ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'', [[BigBad Agrona]] reveals to Alduin and Merial Eralith that thanks to the Beast Will Arthur gave their daughter Tessia years ago (which was extracted from a failed experiment of his), he now has control over whether or not she lives or dies. He offers them a truly SadisticChoice: Either they can let in one of his Scythes into the Council Castle to kill Virion (Alduin's father and the supreme commander of the Dicathians) or he will let Tessia wither away and die. They choose the former, and in the process the Dicathians are forced to evacuate the castle and go into hiding. In the aftermath, while Arthur, Tessia, and Virion escape the attack, Alduin and Merial aren't so lucky as they along with Blaine and Priscilla Glayder are executed by Agrona's servants to mark the end of his conquest.

* ''Film/TheDarkKnight'': Detective Ramirez is blackmailed into helping the Joker abduct Harvey Dent thanks to her mother's hospital bills. When she tries regretfully saying this to Dent, he's not remotely sympathetic.
-->'''Ramirez:''' They got to me early, my mother's hospital bills-\\
'''Dent:''' DON'T.

She however has a GetOutOfJailFreeCard. Her love interest, family member, child, [[PlotTwist woman's equivalent of a mistress]], or cat has been arrested by the SecretPolice in CommieLand and unless she helps them, they'll be finding a very familiar severed head in their mail. Maybe it's Martians that want a human to do their probing for them, or it's a crack dealer who wants his arrest records off the books, or maybe it's a needlessly complicated plot for love.

This may lead to AlwaysSaveTheGirl when this person ends up committing a misdeed, or helping the villain doing it, that leads to mass amounts of casualties in the name of saving one (or a few).
