trick sb to tell you a secret

Hi,
Is there any idiom for this in English?:
" To coax someone into telling you a secret which he/she is not allowed to, but finally tells you since you've employed subterfuge to beguile him/her."

Thank you in advance,

Iman

Hi Rover,

Thank you very much. The first one suits my purpose better, I think.
How about this one?: "get it out of sb's mouth"

Regards,
