Samantha Walker is one of the major characters in the final Dirty Harry movie The Dead Pool. She was not the greatest damsel in distress but she was far from being a bad love interest for Harry Callahan.

She is a journalist and she gets dangerously close to the serial killer Harlan Rook. You have to give her credit for her commitment to journalism though.

But she becomes his final attempted victim outside of Harry Callaghan himself.

And she fortunately does not get murdered by the psychopath.

And she and Harry reunite after he kills him. Which presumably would be Harry’s happy ending, but like James Bond and Austin Powers, who knows if she was his forever after or just a short term girlfriend.
