History TearJerker / BreakingBad

* Walt breaking down after strangling Krazy-8.

** One in-story, too. [[spoiler: Jesse breaks over this.]]

* [[spoiler:Todd murdering the kid]] at the beginning of "Dead Freight". Read the spoiler if you want, the scene's heartbreaking even if you know it's coming.

* When [[spoiler: the lab camper]] needs to be euthanized. [[spoiler: It had become quiet the pop culture icon after all.]]

* The kid in "Peekaboo". He still maintains his blissful ignorance despite having two deadbeat parents that barely clothe and feed him to keep up their drug habits. It really gets to Jesse since he's been ordered to set an example by Walt because Jesse was robbed of his meth by the mother in a previous episode.

* [[spoiler:'''Gale:''' You don't have to do this.]]
[[/folder]]

* Practically anything that involves a child in this show.
* During I.F.T. , [[spoiler: Jesse repeatedly calls Jane's voice mail just so he could listen to her voice. The Tear Jerking moment happens when the voice mail is finally disconnected. The look on Jesse's face, knowing that he will never hear her voice again...]] *cries*

* The entirety of "ABQ" is pretty depressing. But two things in particular stand out. [[spoiler: The first is the scene where Walt finds Jesse in the drug den and Jesse breaks down in tears over Jane's death. The second is the utterly devastated look on Donald Margolis's face when he see's his daughter's corpse, along with the [[DespairEventHorizon rest of his scenes in the episode]].]]

--> '''Jesse:''' [[spoiler: Ever since I met you, everything I ever cared about is gone! Ruined, turned to shit, dead, ever since I hooked up with the great Heisenberg! I have never been more alone! I HAVE NOTHING! NO ONE! ALRIGHT, IT'S ALL GONE, GET IT? No, no, no, why...why would you get it? What do you even care, as long as you get what you want, right? You don't give a shit about me! You said I was no good. I'm nothing! Why would you want me, huh? You said my meth is inferior, right? Right? Hey! You said my cook was GARBAGE! Hey, screw you, man! Screw you!]]

* [[spoiler: "You don't have to do this."]]

* "Buyout" has a nasty cold opening regarding the group [[spoiler: disposing of the dead kid and his dirtbike.]]

** The scene at the park itself definitely qualifies as well. [[spoiler: Walter calls Mike to warn him about the cops coming for him, and Mike sees them coming and gets ready to escape. While there's the initial panic and fear from the authorities, Mike also hesitates. Given that he's about to have to flee for good and has to abandon his granddaughter at the park without even saying goodbye to her, the look on his face is appropriately heartbreaking.]]

** A meta example related to this episode, but [[spoiler: [[http://twitter.com/KayleeEhrms this fan made version of Kaylee's twitter is just heartbreaking]]]] read it for yourself.
* The Walt we see in the cold open FlashForward ''Live Free or Die'' is clearly a humbled, broken man with very little left to live for.
* "Grey Matter." Any interaction between Walt and Skyler, Elliot, Elliot's wife...ESPECIALLY Elliot's wife. Oh God.
* At the beginning of Season 4, when Jesse, trying to cope with his murder of [[spoiler:Gale]] invites dozens of people over and keeps a nonstop party going for days. When his increasingly insane attempts to keep people from leaving finally fail, he's left all alone with the sound system that he was bragging about in the opening scene of the episode, so he sits with his back to the speaker and blasts music as loudly as he can, desperately trying to drown out what's going on in his head.

* During I.F.T. , [[spoiler: Jesse repeatedly calls Jane's voice mail just so he could listen to her voice. The Tear Jerking moment happens when the voice mail is finally disconnected. The look on Jesse's face, knowing that he will never hear her voice again...]]*cries*

-->''Walt:'' I don’t want you to think of me the way I was last night. I don’t want that to be the memory you have of me when I’m gone.
-->''Walt Jr:'' Remembering you that way…wouldn’t be so bad. The bad way to remember you would be the way – the way you’ve been this whole last year. At least last night, you were – you were real…you know?

* The end of "Say My Name" with [[spoiler: the ultimately unnecessary death of Mike. Especially after watching him with his grandaughter at the park after seemingly retiring for good.]]

* The Walt we see in the cold open FlashForward ''Live Free or Die'' is clearly a humbled, broken man with very little left to live for.

* Jesse crying to Walt, going "What's wrong with me, Mr. White?"

* Jesse's [[spoiler: diatribe against Walt in "One Minute" during which Jesse tells Walt how bad his life has gotten and chews him out for his selfishness defiantly qualifies.]]

* Jesse's [[spoiler: diatribe against Walt in "One Minute" during which Jesse tells Walt how bad his life has gotten and chews him out for his selfishness defiantly qualifies. ]]

** Let's not forget that when the credits start to roll, you can hear [[spoiler: Kaylee on the swing.]]

** [[spoiler:Even ''Walt'', who has opposed Mike ever since the Gus situation crumbled, reacted to shooting him with [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone shock and horror]] which is something we haven't seen from Walt regarding anyone he killed since he killed Crazy 8 way back in Season 1. During his final talk with Mike he almost seems to feel remorse for it ending the way it did. This from the guy who was coldly indifferent to the murder and disposal of an innocent child.]]

* [[spoiler:Mikes Death.]]
