*** The Dominion also outfits all Vorta with a [[CyanidePill termination implant]] that leads to almost immediate death for a Vorta who activates it. Vorta are expected to activate it if they are captured. Also if a superior officer or Founder demands it they would activate it. Late in the Dominion War the Female Changeling states that she would order Weyoun to activate it if the Dominion Alpha Quadrant cloning facilities were operational. This was after she ordered en entire team of Vorta researchers trying to find a cure for a new disease attacking the Founders because she felt they were [[YouHaveFailedMe not]] working hard enough to find a cure.

* In the movie ''Film/TheCastleOfFuManchu'' (as seen on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''), this happens twice. When the bad guys capture the titular castle, Fu Manchu graciously thanks the mercenaries he's hired to help him overthrow it -- just before ordering their execution. Later on, a messenger delivers some news to the leader of the mercenaries. His "reward" is to get [[OffScreenVillainy murdered off-camera]]. Given how stoned the mercenary leader looked while he was receiving the news, one can only hope he didn't immediately forget it.



* ''Film/PerfectAssassins'': The assassins are programmed to kill themselves after getting their targets.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': In the Season 1 episode "Mission Creep", Sam Latimer runs a ring of ex-soldiers turned criminals who conduct high-end robberies and noted for their discipline and efficiency (they can conduct a BankRobbery in no more than a minute). Later on we learn why they're so effective: whenever the gang gets erratic or becomes a liability, Latimer kills the gang and hires a new crew. At the end of the episode, [[spoiler:[[LaserGuidedKarma Latimer himself is killed by a client]] to tie up loose ends]].

* In ''Series/PowerRangersJungleFury'', Dai Shi, the BigBad, and his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Camille, gleefully allows his overlords to be destroyed, two of them by the rangers and one by the Phantom Beast Generals, when they are no longer useful in his plans now that he has learned enough about his techniques from them.
-->'''Camille''': They've destroyed Carnisoar.\\
'''Dai Shi''': They did me a favor. One less overlord and a lot more power.
** It had a lot to do with the fact that [[BearsAreBadNews Grizzaka]], the leader of the Overlords, laid claim to Dai Shi's position. The honeymoon was over.
