Bad Samaritan	comment	Beware of the kindness of strangers. A Good Samaritan provides help to anyone in need, even a complete stranger. They will come across the wounded hero and take him in, feed him and tend to his injuries without asking for anything in return. Sometimes these people are punished for their goodness because they were a Horrible Judge of Character and chose to help someone who would only repay them with evil. And then there are these guys. The Bad Samaritan is someone who takes in the hero and seems (at first) to be helping, only to do the hero harm in the end.. He doesn't act out of the kindness of his own heart, but by some villainous motivation. He will keep his intention hidden from his victim, gaining their trust, until he has the hero helpless. This is the inverse of the Biblical parable about the Good Samaritan, teaching the audience that relying on the kindness of strangers is not always a good thing. This is when a villain wears a mask of altruism and kindness and pretends that their goal is to help unfortunate, needy characters. They will befriend and offer them their assistance to win them over, secretly using them as pawns in their scheme. The good guys usually don't catch on until it is way, way too late to do anything about it and the villain has just put the final touches on the scheme, revealing that the "help" was merely part of their evil plan all along. This sort of ploy usually comes up when the hero wants something and is desperate enough to do anything to get it, even if it takes a complex scheme and extensive deception. The villain has just what the doctor ordered, and is willing to give it to the hero... for a price. And the price is always exactly what the villain needs to achieve his goals. The hero might have to give up something important to the villain (a valuable MacGuffin), or may have to retrieve a Plot Coupon. Other times, the villain will maintain a cover of respectability and generosity in order to attract good guys who later unwittingly act as mooks for the villain's cause. And sometimes the villain is simply a cruel bastard and likes corrupting the thought of kindness by turning it into villainy. Either way, in the end, it turns out that by accepting their assistance, the protagonist has been unwittingly playing right into the villain's hands. The end result of this flavor of the trope is usually You Have Outlived Your Usefulness, with the villain killing or otherwise betraying their cronies once they've served their purpose. Where this gets confusing is when the Bad Samaritan means no physical or emotional harm, but uses their "kindness" to provoke a "Leave Your Quest" Test to get the hero to leave the Big Bad alone. Related to Beware the Nice Ones, Lending a Backhand and The Farmer and the Viper. Compare with Salvage Pirates, in which the hero expects help from people who turn out to be evil and who don't even pretend to help. See also All Take and No Give. See also Hostile Hitchhiker, specifically the "Harmful to Hitchers" type. Supertrope to Wise Old Folk FaÃ§ade, where an evil elderly acts wise and helpful to others to hide their true nature. As this is a Betrayal Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Bad Samaritan / int_1463a028	comment	Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has quite a few instances of this, but probably the one with the greatest impact was a case which forced detective Brian Cassidy to leave the squad; Captain Cragen had gotten worried about a rape victim he knew from a previous case, and asked Cassidy to find out what was wrong. It turned out she'd been gang-raped again, and afterwards she was found by another man, who acted like a Good Samaritan and then raped her himself. From the way his voice breaks, it seems like the betrayal of the Bad Samaritan hit him even harder than the rest of her appalling story, and makes him decide he lacks the stomach to keep working in the sex crime division.

Bad Samaritan / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Flemeth of the Dragon Age series. Early in the first game, she saves the PC and Alistair from death on the condition they take her daughter with them on their adventures. Morrigan later reveals that Flemeth sent her with them to perform a very shady magic ritual that requires a Grey Warden. The sequel shows that, not long after, Flemeth also helped the Hawke family and Aveline cross a darkspawn-filled wasteland in exchange for a favor - bringing her Soul Jar to the Dalish clan near Kirkwall, just in case Morrigan turned on her. We still have no idea what Flemeth's long-term goals are, but she's not doing it out of the kindness of her heart. Turns out it's revenge. Her partner Solas is a straighter example of the trope: he helps you throughout the game with the intent of restoring the standard of living to the Elven Age, only to reveal in the last DLC that he needed your help to regrow his power base and that the only way to bring back the Elven Age is to lift the fade and kill almost everyone.

He reads the dreams of Naveen's servant Lawrence, sees Lawrence wants to take Naveen's place and become a prince and then tells Lawrence "in your the future, the you I see... / is exactly the man you always wanted to be." He then uses Lawrence as a pawn and physically transforms him into Naveen, enabling his scheme and fulfilling his promise. Lawrence was the man he always wanted to be.

By Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, he's become much more shell-shocked and apathetic, and as a result, his morals slip: he takes in children with the intent of protecting them, but ends up making them into child soldiers inadvertently. The problem is that he doesn't have a problem with that outcome. He also becomes more vehement and driven to create a world for soldiers, by creating a world of perpetual war. The revelation that Venom Snake is not Naked Snake softens this somewhat, but the trauma that Venom Snake suffers is real and definitely contributes to his Faceâ€“Heel Turn.

Bad Samaritan / int_4d9653ef	comment	A whole city of Bad Samaritans is Grenepoli, the City of Diplomacy, first mentioned in the Planescape setting, but also in other settings where the Outer Planes are used. The fact that this city is on Maladomini, in the Seventh Layer of Hell and is openly ruled by devils should make people suspicious of it, but the place seems to be a Truce Zone where violence is not allowed (anyone who commits violence against anyone is executed by the city watch, and devils are not exempt from this law) and everything is given away for free by merchants. The "catch" is subtle; Grenepoli is a haven of pure politics and have classes that provides instruction on ways to destroy an enemy in the cruelest way possible without resorting to violence. Mortal visitors are encouraged to attend, those who show a knack for it and graduate being admitted to Offalon, a far more advanced Academy of Evil run by Baalzebul, the Lord of Maladomini. The plan, long term as it is, is that hopefully more and more Corrupt Politicians will be unleashed onto the mortal world to corrupt entire kingdoms and strengthen the power of Hell.

He rescues Selvaria from a life of experimentation at the hands of an abusive research facility, takes her into his estate, and gives her a high-class education with a life of luxury. She, of course, believed he did it out of the goodness of his heart and fell in love with him as a result. However in reality, he did so to use her powers as a Valkyria to conquer Europa and always saw her as nothing but a tool for his conquests. And once he figured out that she developed feelings for him, he proceeded to pretend to love her in return and commit casual acts of emotional manipulation and Domestic Abuse to keep her loyal. To make matters worse, he himself was the biggest sponsor of the research facility she hailed from - making him directly responsible for her abusive upbringing in the first place.

Bad Samaritan / int_59151283	comment	In the Metal Gear series, Big Boss is in the process of this in Outer Heaven (where there is loads of war orphans around to take in and shape to his whim). He also already did this with Gray Fox. Metal Gear Solid implies that he is actually sincere when it comes to caring about his recruits. Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and beyond confirm that he's A Father to His Men, but he won't pull any punches when it comes to recruiting Child Soldiers and he won't hesitate to order his soldiers into a meat grinder if it's worth the effort. By Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, he's become much more shell-shocked and apathetic, and as a result, his morals slip: he takes in children with the intent of protecting them, but ends up making them into child soldiers inadvertently. The problem is that he doesn't have a problem with that outcome. He also becomes more vehement and driven to create a world for soldiers, by creating a world of perpetual war. The revelation that Venom Snake is not Naked Snake softens this somewhat, but the trauma that Venom Snake suffers is real and definitely contributes to his Faceâ€“Heel Turn.

Alternative Character Interpretation aplenty about Kreia, but the gist of it is that she was a Jedi, and confesses early on that she was a Sith, but throughout the entire game, her morality meter is set right in the middle. She helps the Player Character regain their connection to the force and of course will fight with you should you take her in your party, but after you find all of the lost Jedi masters, she will take off with all of the stuff you may have equipped her with, turn the former Jedi historian to the dark side, then go on to become the game's final boss, with a plan that basically amounts to her desiring to kill the Force. Yeah.

She takes him back to her apartment, gives him a bath and some food, and promises to help him get home. Except something doesn't feel quite right, and he realizes she's trying to pass him off to a creepy older man. (He's too young to understand why, but it's very clear to the audience that she's involved in sex trafficking.) Fortunately, he's able to flee the apartment, and spends a couple more months on the streets before meeting a genuine Good Samaritan, who brings him to a police station.

Yeah... Father Cornello uses a partial Philosophers Stone to fake miracles to earn the town's trust. What they don't realize is that he intends to incite an uprising that will get most of them killed. Played very straight by most Homunculi in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003): they're sent to towns to find alchemists, drive them to desperation, give them fake stones and fake reassurances, wait until the stones' power dissipates, make things worse, then make them think the only way to save everyone is by making Philosopher Stones, whatever the cost.

She pretends to be a "social worker" who helps convicts by giving them a chance to turn their lives around. Her real reason for collecting these kinds of people is less noble.

He's upfront about wanting a price, but what he doesn't say is that he's actually manipulating the other side of the bargain for his own ends (to create a situation where the Evil Queen will use the Storybrooke curse, and thereby send him to the same world as his son). He got his powers through a strange combination of this and The Farmer and the Viper, as he helps a character who goes on to offer him help that really isn't. Basically, he takes in a beggar, who has "advice" for him about stealing the Dark One's dagger to save his son from being taken to war. Except the beggar was the Dark One all along and wanted Rumplestiltskin to kill him, because being the Dark One is pretty awful. The Wicked Witch of the West, aka Zelena, fills the role of a Bad Samaritan in Storybrooke. Posing as a friendly midwife, she gets close to pregnant Snow and offers help and assistance with her pregnancy. Turns out, she just wants Snow's baby to use in her planned time travel spell.
