In season 3 the last episode does anyone know why Jack was crying right at the end?

He cut his buddies arm off with an axe. I'd cry too (although I think I'd cry more if it was my arm). He also had to shoot his boss/'kinda-friend' (the only thing I can think of when I remember that, is Homer from the Simpsons when he said "Kill my boss? Do I dare love out the American dream?") He was addicted to smack, his daughter almost got killed (what else is new?) He was tired, hungry, cracky, etc. Frankly, I would have just curled up in the fetal position behind some rock long before all that.

The whole events of the day must have taken a toll on him, and then to cap it off, he probably knew that Kim was gone. Tears of joy were streaming down my face though.

I've got to admit I never really understood why he was crying either. Yes, he's just had a hellish day, and yes he just cut some guys arm off, and yes he did kill Chapelle, but he's been through so much worse before and we've never seen a tear from him.

I think it was just a convinient way to end the series than thinking up some awful twist like there normally is. For example, being kidnapped by the Chinese, or setting an awful example to children by walking on train tracks. Tut tut.
