Tear Jerker / Dark City (1998)

• For all its spoileriffic qualities, the narration at the beginning of the theatrical version does elicit a twinge of sympathy for Dr. Schreber as he makes an anguished confession: "I have betrayed my own kind."
• More sympathy for Dr. Schreber: the flashback to the badly beaten and bleeding doctor being forced to erase all memory of his origins.
• In the director's cut: the hooker May's little girl. She saw everything that happened to her mother, and who did it, and drew a picture of it with her crayons. Emma finds her quivering in terror under the bed.
• Inspector Burmstead's death.
• Shockingly enough, the death of Mr. Hand. Despite being the most unambiguously evil of his kind, his sendoff is rather emotional, especially with the implication that he's the Last of His Kind, and that once John opens the door to let the sunlight in, they will go extinct.
