Tear Jerker / Republic of Doyle

Go To

  • Leslie breaking down after she ends things with Callum.
  • Jake and Rose racing to get Malachy (who's been shot) to the hospital. Even the weather is grim and dismal. The moment after Malachy gasps that he loves Rose (and always will) is just heartbreaking. Rose looks absolutely terrified and begs Jake to hurry. Thank God Malachy got better.
  • The end of season five has the entire Doyle family broke thanks to Sloan robbing them, and Jake digging possibly dead Leslie out of a grave, and subsequently being arrested for killing one of her exes. All while "Say Something" one of the most heartbreaking songs of the year, plays in the background.
  • The scene between Jake and Sloan in the GTO after Jake rescues Sloan from Saul. Say what you will about Sloan, but Hawco totally sells how worried Jake was about her, even though he's angry.
  • In season six, Sloan admitting that she's been conning the Doyles and that she isn't actually Jake's daughter, and Jake's reaction to this.
  • Jake's reaction to having to leave the wounded, pregnant Leslie in "Last Call," as well as his breakdown in the car with Mal afterwards. Allan Hawco's expression is devastating.
