Sam’s First Kill For Lenny Was His Own Father

Lenny gave Sam a brutally hard first assignment

The most scandalous death inBlack Dovesis also Sam ’s very first kill , which is revealed in one of the series ' extended flashback sequences . As revealed in a flashback picture , Lenny gave Sam the unthinkable first hit on his own founding father , Frank . When Sam was a boy , he would watch his ill and predominate father closely and listen to his indirect advice about how to be an bravo . His dad used to tell him that he " never perpetrate a initiation that did n’t make the world a better place " , an political orientation that Sam also embrace when he initially approached Reed and Lenny to become a gunman himself .

By giving Sam this brutal first duty assignment , Lenny was able to grasp just how serious Sam was about becoming an bravo . It demonstrate to Lenny that Sam could be one of her most reliable assassins since every other putting to death after that would theoretically be easier , so to speak . This is why Lenny was surprised that " reliable Sam " as she calls him did n’t take out Hector Newman even though he was just a boy . In that moment , Sam developed his own code that grant him to kill his own founder – which he must have deserved in some way – but not take the sprightliness of young Hector .

Why Lenny Made Sam Kill His Father

Frank has crossed a line and lost his honor in Lenny’s eyes

ThroughoutBlack Dovesseason 1 , Lenny is remorseless and seemingly cold - hearted , which is how she gets Sam to cooperate and go after his own Fatherhood – and later Hector Newman – in the first position . Despite his profession , Sam has a good spirit , which is why he wanted to see whether Lenny also has any good indoors of her at theend ofBlack Dovesseason 1 . Sam was first introduced to Lenny by Mrs. Reed , who he used to work out for as an " remaining - job " type of fixer back when he also met Helen Webb . After telling Reed thathe wanted a more serious crease of work , Reed referred him to the infamous Lenny Liles , who pay Sam an improbable first appointment .

Lenny engage Sam to kill his own father after Frank had " crossed a line " which is n’t elaborated on specifically in Black Doves time of year 1 . As an assassin himself , Frank had crossed many moral boundaries in his line of piece of work but , apparently , he had go past and done something unforgivable in Lenny ’s eye . Whatever Frank had done to disavow his own code , Sam seems to have come to terms with his decision to take his father ’s life and at the same time carry the touch of his family concern . Sam does n’t appear contrite about his founding father ’s expiry , suggest that he knew he would make the world a better placeby killing him .

How Sam Killing His Father Connects To The Triggerman Code He Taught Him

Sam killed his dad to make the world a better place

There is a fundamental connexion between the example that Frank taught Sam and the tragical conclusion of their relationship . WhileBlack Dovesseason 1 does not reveal whatever atrocious thing Frank must have done to have Lenny put the hit on him , it does make it clear that Sam would cleave to the moral that Frank had taught him . Sam must have bring in thatFrank failed to practice what he preachedwhen he say that all of his kills made the earth a adept shoes .

Lenny likely believed that Frank " had to go " for one of two reasons . One , Frank disobey her and refused to pour down a target because of his own moral code , deeming that it would not " make the Earth well . " or else , Frank broke his own codification and perhaps kill an devoid person , leaving Lenny to call upon Sam to compensate his forefather ’s wrong . Hopefully , Sam or Lenny will reveal what Frank in reality did inBlack Dovesseason 2 .
