Background

Samantha "Sam" O'Dwyer is a doctor in the town of Bright Hope. She is married to Arthur.


During the events of Bone Tomahawk (2015) played by Lili Simmons

Samantha gets upset with Arthur for sulking about his broken leg and reminds him she advised him not to go on the roof when it was raining. She treats Arthur's leg and she asks him to read a letter he wrote her when he was on the range. They hear a knock on the door and Brooder tells Samantha she is needed to treat Purvis. Deputy Nick and Chicory are finishing playing checkers when Samantha arrives. Sheriff Hunt tells Nick to stay with Samantha and help her with anything she needs and then escort her home. During the night she is kidnapped along with Nick and Purvis by Troglodytes. Days later, Hunt and Chicory are brought into the cave and they see Samantha and Nick and Samantha tells Hunt the Troglodytes ate Purvis. Boar Tusks walks in and screeches. Nick is brought out of his cage and stripped naked. Hunt and Chicory try to break out, but a Troglodyte hits Hunt in the hand with a jaw bone. Nick tells Hunt that Purvis admitted to killing lots of people and robbing them and of desecrating the Troglodyte burial ground. Nick asks Hunt to send his stuff back to his brothers. He is then scalped and cut in half longways down the middle by Boar Tusks. Samantha asks about Arthur and Hunt and Chicory tell her they left a trail for him. They come up with a plan to try and kill some Troglodytes by having them overdose on opium. A Troglodyte takes away the bottle of opium and drinks it and hands it to two others. Samantha tells Hunt and Chicory that Wolf Skull will survive along with another of the Troglodytes, but the third one will die from overdosing on the opium. Chicory tells a story about a flea circus he saw run by the Sanderson brothers and he wondered if the whole thing was a trick and Samantha tells him it wasn't a trick. Boar Tusks and a Troglodyte enter the room and when the Troglodyte opens Hunt's cage, he lunges at the Troglodyte. Boar Tusks knocks Hunt unconscious and his feet are tied. The Troglodyte cuts open Hunt's chest and the flask with opium is stuffed inside of him. Boar Tusks uses a rifle to shoot Hunt in the arm and attempts to shoot him in the crotch, but initially doesn't know how to chamber another round. Suddenly shots ring out and Hunt yells to Arthur that there is a Troglodyte with a rifle. Boar Tusks shoots Hunt in the chest and as Boar Tusks is walking away, Hunt grabs a jaw club and cuts off Boar Tusks' toes. Arthur shoots Boar Tusks and Hunt uses the club to cut off Boar Tusks' head. Hunt tells Chicory that he is going to stay to kill the remaining three male Troglodytes and he wants Chicory to escort Arthur and Samantha home. As they are leaving, Arthur, Samantha and Chicory come across Pregnant Troglodyte A and Pregnant Troglodyte B, who are limbless and have stakes shoved into their eyes. They hear three shots in the distance and realize Hunt has killed the remaining Troglodyte males. At night Chicory tells Arthur that he and Hunt discussed him becoming sheriff and Arthur agrees to it so he can protect Samantha.
