Falling Skies/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Rick's breakdown. After he's given up all the information he has to the harnessed girl, she leaves him in the dirt, utterly breaking his spirit: he only wanted to belong with someone.

Rick: [sobbing] "I... I miss my dad..."
Tom: "Hey, hey, its all right. It's all right now."
