* The way Poe got completely boned by the judge ([[StrawCivilian just for being a vet]]) thanks to his own lawyer's bad advice.
* "If this thing goes bad, Larkin, I don't think my daughter will... understand. If you speak to my wife again, you tell her that I love her. She's my hummin'bird. But, I couldn't leave a fallen man behind. You'll do that for me, won't you, Larkin?"
* Poe's reaction after seeing his only friend from prison [[TakingTheBullet cover for him and get shot]].
* Malloy's reaction to the kidnapping. He goes very quiet and contemplative and is clearly shattered. Then he flies into a rage.
* The ending scene. Poe reunites with his family and finally gets to meet his little daughter. As Poe embraces his family, the Trisha Yearwood cover of Music/LeAnnRimes's "How Do I Live" starts playing over this emotional reunion as Larkin watches on, which is sure enough able to make even the manliest of men start crying.
