** One moment of being nice from Sam is about as rare as every single "[[CueTheFlyingPigs extremely rare event]]" situation in pop culture happening at the exact same time. It’s not as reassuring as Sam thinks.
-->'''[[OnlySaneMan Bill Smith]]''': How is it that the dudes [[Series/DoctorWho of the BBC]] wrote it? Yeah, right: "You let one of them go, but that’s nothing new. Every now and then, a little victim’s spared because she smiled, because he’s got freckles, because they begged. And that’s how you live with yourself. That’s how you slaughter millions. Because once in a while, on a whim, if the wind’s in the right direction, you happen to be kind".

* '''Double Subverted''': Ultimately, it turns out that Sam was a FakeDefector and a mole who infiltrated Nick's crime ring to bring it down from the inside.

** The fact that Sam Sadist is only a "sociopath" in the hyperbolic sense of the word is not really that reassuring to the general audience, considering how monstrously insensitive he is when he is ''not'' trying to kill you.
