Sarah Mason (Jericho character)

Sarah Mason was a character on the American post-apocalyptic drama Jericho. She was played by Siena Goines.

Sarah Mason is a character first introduced on the Jericho website as a cop from St. Louis.

On the show Mason is revealed to be a former coworker and ex girlfriend of Robert Hawkins. The two were part of a secret group based in Washington D.C. who may have been involved in coordinating the nuclear attacks. Before leaving Washington, Hawkins goes to pick her up at her apartment only to find it ransacked. He takes her laptop with him as he and his family move to Jericho. He uses the laptop to communicate with Mason who is shown being held hostage by masked men who order him to deliver the bomb or they will kill her. The message is sent just minutes before the nuclear attacks begin.

Months later, Mason joins a group of refugees (which included Emily's fiancê, Roger Hammond) and they enter Jericho. Mason confronts Hawkins and informs him that there is a traitor in their group. Hawkins has Mason stay with his family's house, much to Darcy's dislike (she even suggests that Mason be killed). Hawkins and Mason are due to confront their boss ("the Old Man") who may be the traitor. However Mason is secretly communicating with someone who has assigned her to find the "package" (a 20-kiloton nuclear device) that Hawkins has hidden in his house. Mason kills one of the people that she has been communicating with in order to keep the nuclear drum for herself.

Mason takes Samuel Hawkins hostage to force Robert into turning over the "package". She and Robert fight, but Sarah gains the upper hand. Allison Hawkins, having been trained to shoot by her father, apparently kills Sarah by shooting her in the back.

According to the CBS website, Sarah was a former Department of Homeland Security Agent until November 14 2004, then she went off the grid on February 10, 2004.
