The Tudors/Tear Jerker

Tear Jerkers in  include:


 * In late season two when a desperate Anne Boleyn begins to understand what will happen to her, and how it will affect her daughter, and she chases after Henry in the gardens, begging him for mercy, holding Elizabeth in her arms.
 * The entire season two finale is really one long tear jerker, but the strongest moment happens when the execution of has been postponed and Cromwell goes to church. James Frain's acting is superb in this scene, when he attempts to beg for forgiveness for his sins. He doesn't speak a word, yet it's clear that he is overcome with the feeling that he doesn't deserve forgiveness, and just sinks down on the floor.
 * The execution of in season two. What especially brought it home was that the cry of anguish doesn't come from the person being executed, but from the person who was responsible for it.
 * At the end of the episode "Lady in Waiting", you hear Anne's blood chilling scream, and her ladies run into her room, to an utterly devastated Anne screaming, "No! No, no, no, NO!" and futiley trying to stop the bleeding as she miscarries her fourth child. Then Henry, likewise devastated but also furious, charges into her room and tells her in this horribly quiet voice, "You've lost my boy... She cuts him off with, "It is not all my fault. You have no one but yourself to blame for this!"
 * The death of, and how her lady in waiting, handles it.
 * She hallucinates her daughter beforehand.
 * Anne watching in episode nine of season two. Her pain and horror is truly heartbreaking, and the fact that her father hears her but doesn't seem to care at all makes it even worse.
 * Just put all of Anne's scenes from the season 2 finale on the list. What makes it even more of a tearjerker is that a great portion of her dialogue from this episode comes from what the real Anne Boleyn supposedly said when it all actually happened.
 * More of a bittersweet one, but there's two scenes in season three with Mary and Elizabeth, one where after Elizabeth is presented to Henry at Christmas, she ends up sitting on her older sister's lap, and another where they're about to go to sleep and are talking to each other. You can see how close they are, despite it all - it would be wonderful, except that anyone who knows their history knows how bad their relationship is going to go.
 * Cromwell's death was heartbreaking - and disturbing.
 * execution. Yes, she brought it on herself with continual possession of the Idiot Ball, but when you watch her practicing with the block the night before in her cell, and her last words - "Life is so beautiful" - it's hard not to feel choked up.
 * When Mary is crying in the hallway after Philip of Bavaria is sent away. That poor girl had been through hell and back already, and had just started to fall in love with this guy, and suddenly he's gone. Even worse is how she stays strong until she's in the corridor, and then the mask just... falls away.
 * There was something very sad about Henry's attempt to 'cure' Brandon in the series finale. It's this desperate attempt by a man who's losing it completely to keep the one friend who's been there since the beginning.
 * And speaking of Brandon, after his, we see his mistress left with no place to go, completely unacknowledged by Brandon's wife - understandable until you remember that Catherine left him and he tried to win her back; she's more like the ex-wife and Brigitte was the new wife, practically speaking. The heartbroken look on Brigitte's face when she realizes she's got nothing left is terrible.
 * Anne Askew's torture and death was wrenching.
 * Mary getting the news of death.
