** Also veering into TearJerker territory, we find out that Leo Crow actually ''wants'' to die due to being promised financial compensation for his family and that the evidence of him kidnapping Anderton's is staged. Dr. Iris Hineman's earlier speech about creatures prioritizing their own survival above all is subverted as Crow starting struggling with Anderton to [[SuicideByCop make him shoot that fatal bullet]]. There is a HopeSpot like Anderton may be able to just walk away and change the future, but then Crow lunges for Anderton, the pistol goes off, hits the windows instead and Crow is sent reeling backwards to break the weakened window and fall almost like the vision predicted, only the event is more accidental with Anderton [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone left in shock and disbelief]] instead of appearing more willing like in the vision. Seeing the ultimate context of how Crow ends up going out the window makes for a potentially haunting scene as though the same outcome happened with different circumstances.

Made even worse by the fact that [[spoiler: some of those detained in Precrime's containment unit were actually innocent with an alternate future where they weren't going to murder anyone.]]

* Anderton's scuffle with Witwer in the factory with both men wrestling each other inside a car ''as it's being assembled''. Witwer manages to get away, but Anderton nearly gets impaled with reinforced bolts and almost gets crushed by what looks to be a seat.

* Agatha foretelling of an hypothetical happy life for Sean turns into pure horror as she retells his kidnapping from his point of view.

* Lara showing to Gideon how did she got access to the prison. She slowly drops a bloody bag containing John's former eye on the organ's keyboard, all this with a very fitting ScareChord.

* Agatha foretelling of an hypothetical happy life for Sean turns into pure AdultFear as she retells his kidnapping from his point of view.

* The very existence of the Precogs. Imagine being perpetually kept in a drug-induced dream-like state where all you see is people being horrifically killed in all kinds of ways. Now imagine doing that every second of every day...''for 6 years''.

** The majority, if not the entirety, of the most recent Precrime cases being "red balls". Fletcher mentions they rarely get premeditated cases anymore indicating D.C. citizens have become aware any thought toward murder will be picked up by the Precogs. A "red ball" means the murder is going to happen within '''minutes''' and the Precrime team has to rapidly solve, locate and prevent the murder each time within that timeframe not being sure the next case will be as successful. Hell, the Marks case was only stopped at the very last second after they learned the location was different mid-investigation. The fact that they've maintained a perfect record for 6 years is a goddamn miracle and an Awesome in itself.
