What Did Sam Do to His Father in Black Doves?

by

As a dedicated fan of Black Doves, I must confess that the revelation of Sam’s past has left me both intrigued and heartbroken. The series masterfully weaves a tale of loyalty, friendship, and the haunting weight of one’s past actions.

Intrigue surrounds the fate of Sam’s father, Frank, in the gripping British spy thriller series “Black Doves.” The narrative revolves around Helen Webb, played by Keira Knightley, whose covert identity is jeopardized as her lover meets a tragic end at the hands of London’s criminal underworld. To safeguard her, her employer enlists Sam, an old friend, for protection. However, as events unfold, Sam finds himself grappling with his past and resolving lingering issues related to his father, all while tackling unfinished business.

Here are the details of what happened to Sam’s father.

Did Sam kill his father in Black Doves?

Yes, Sam kills his father in Black Doves.

In “The Coming Night” episode (episode 3), there’s an intriguing flashback that reveals my favorite character, Sam Young, played by Ben Whishaw, had a dark past as an assassin. Raised in a brutal environment with a father who was a ruthless killer, I guess it was inevitable that the assassin’s life would seep into his veins. As he matured, he found himself working for Lenny as a contract killer, fueling his passion for this deadly profession.

As a cunning gamer, I intentionally set up a mission where Sam would have to confront his dad – a test of his assassin skills and courage. I knew this task, if accomplished, would underscore his loyalty and commitment to me and our enterprise.

Sam isn’t a cold-blooded killer who follows Lenny’s orders blindly. Instead, he acts based on morality and only takes lives when he perceives the individuals as having committed wrongdoings. However, Lenny manages to persuade him to kill his father, though she doesn’t reveal many details about his father’s misdeeds. She simply states that he transgressed a boundary or crossed a line.

In the heat of the moment, those words ignited a primal urge within me – the instinct to avenge. I found myself standing before Frank, our eyes locked, and with a heavy heart, I took the fateful step. As the story unfolded, I struggled to justify my actions, reminding myself that my father had taken an innocent life, a life he should never have touched.
