THE ANGRY LITTLE PIG ▶ SAMUEL MASON ( THIEF ● 38 ● JOEL KINNAMAN ● TAKEN )

Even though he and Luke are twins, Sam has always considered himself as being the oldest an therefore felt a responsibility towards his siblings. Tried to shelter them as much as he could, especially his brother who was smaller and sensitive. Or at least that is how Sam saw him. Sam was always the problem child.

He was burning ants with a magnifying glass when the dry grass caught fire and spread across the yard all the way inside the house. Before he knew it, the place had gone down in flames with both of his parents trapped inside. Sam and Luke tried to save them but it was impossible. To this day, no one knows how the fire started. 

The guilt consumed him and he used drugs to numb his pain. This led to a life of crime that started with robbing liquor stores and breaking in to people’s houses and ended with the bank robbery that would send Samuel away for 2 years. He made a deal, pleaded guilty in exchange for a shorter sentence and for his siblings freedom.

He learned a lot in prison, like how to make a shiv out of a toothbrush. He also learned that some people were doomed to lead a life of crime and violence and that he was never going to change. That he did not want to change. He was surprised when he found out that his brother was trying to better himself and he is trying to get him back on the job. 

CONNECTIONS ▶

Luke Mason: He loves his brother, he does. What better way to show his love than to take the fall for him and his sister after the bank robbery went awry? Does he get any appreciation for it? It seems like his brother still resents him for dragging him along this job and “ruining his life.” Sam wants them to get back to work but it seems that Luke is trying to turn in a new leaf by befriending the town sheriff? Seriously?

Danielle Mason: He is not lying when he says that he’d take a bullet for his siblings, his sister most of all. He loves Danielle and unlike his brother he supports her in whatever she chooses to do with her life. Stripping is not ideal but at least she is doing what she can to survive and he respects that. He does visit the strip joint at times though to make sure no one gets too grabby. 

Archibald Crock: The guy who arrested him and his siblings? No, Sam does not like him and he especially does not like the fact that he is always checking up on him to make sure he doesn’t violate his parole. Also what is that interest he has with his sister all of the sudden? 

Joseph Maddox: He used to think of Joseph as a brother from another mother. They have known each other for a long time, even before they both got involved with the Snow family. They don’t talk much these days after he decided to drive off and leave him and his siblings at the mercy of police officers. Worst get away driver ever. Sam could have thrown him under the bus and yet he decided to keep that information to himself. If anyone’s coming after Joseph, it’s Sam.
