Interrogation

Interrogtaion was the process of obtaining information, typically by questioning a person who is suspected to have some kind of connection to an important matter that needed resolved. At times, interrogation would involve torture, under the belief that pain would make someone talkative. However, this can also backfire as if the interrogator doesn't believe the truth, they will instead believe lies that the person being questioned tells them if it fits with their views better.

History
Upon arriving in a parallel earth, the Third Doctor was mistaken for a spy and interrogated. (TV: Inferno)

As the Twelfth Doctor would go on to say "The first rule of being interrogated: YOU are the only irreplaceable person in the room. Make it work for you. If they threaten you with death, show 'em who's boss: die faster." (TV: Heaven Sent)
