  • I remember taping this episode and watching it the day after. My mom had gone to work and people told her that it was a tear-jerker. We both said it wasn't that bad (it was sad, but neither one of us cried) until Rachel stopped and let that balloon. Then I bawled. I love ER. I miss ER.

  • One of the saddest moments in television history. I always loved ER but something was missing after Mark died. Grey's Anatomy will never be anything like ER.

  • @theenforcer1977 Never ever will GA ever come close to these amazing stories of ER!

    Things get wild in GA but never as personal as ER!

    Great stories by great characters!

  • this should have been the last season

  • from all the things that tv has gotten to our heads past all this years....it comes down to this special moments.when you can feel raw feelings and smell the sadness in a tv show and it feels like something you yourself expirienced.amazing.

  • listening to Somewhere over the rainbow still brings tears to my eyes

  • 9 donkeys do not like the emotions

  • One of the best TV episodes ever written for any show.

  • River Song

  • Has to be one of tv saddest moments ,I cryed watching it and I am a bloke, funny how tv can mix your emotions!

  • ive been watching ER from the start on Sky Atlantic (its odd when I was younger I used to hate it when my parents watched it! ) and ive put off watching Greenes death for a while and I finally plucked up the courage, been crying for about 20 mins, only one word for him HERO

  • Somebody knows the name of this fantastic instrumental music (not Somewhere over the Rainbow!)? In my opinion this not sound like Karl Jenkins "Benedictus". In some comment I read, that this maybe write Christopher Neal Nelson (at imdb.com "Original Music by Christopher Neal Nelson"). I search this a long time and unfortunately no one knows real name this song.

  • Nope -certainly not me. It's the late, very talented Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. My Wife told me about this comment, and I had to set the record straight here. (Christopher Neal Nelson)

  • This is when er died. greene was the heart of the show

  • @lopido I agree, I am watching it now on SKY Alantic and its not the same without Mark, Benton,Hattaway, Clooney I think it just went downhill after that!

  • I cry every time I see this clip!

  • @TheArtlover87 same

  • I still cry hearing this song and watching this clip.

  • I was so PISSED that they killed him! Not to mention that I cried my eyes out. It really doesn't get any sadder than this.

  • when it first aired i felt like he really passed away and fell apart crying. as did my family, who are not emotional people. same now.

  • Muy triste, verdaderamente muy triste :(......

  • I haven't seen this since it 1st aired. I cried really hard that day, and seeing it again here has started up the waterworks all over again. ER was without peer. It was one of TV's greatest creations and I miss it dearly, and wonder when/if another series could ever replace it. With all the "reality" crap, etc that dominates the networks these days it seems Hollywood has lost its way - let's hope it's not forever...

  • so sad how much I've been crying because of that :-) best TV death ever

  • Talk to me Goose!

  • This was THE most elegant and lovely death scene of any major character in the history of broadcast television...

  • @mnpopeye I totally agree! Every time I hear this song, I still shed a tear because of Mark.

  • That was a good episode no disrespect meant but I loved it when Mark Green's daughter tells the driver to pull over and she gets a balloon and lets it go these last few scenes of Dr.Green's death are really sad but when his daughter grabs the balloon and unties it and lets it go it reminds me of the times I got up in the early morning hours and sat with my grandpa and we drank coffee together may he rest in peace he died last year.

  • so sad :(

  • Does anyone knows the name of the melody played at Mark's funeral..? It also appears in the first episode of season 10.

  • this episode is so beautful and yet heartbreaking, this is what TV shows are meant to be like.

  • i never watched ER until recently. I started buying the seasons one by one, but I bought them all up to season 9 but I stopped after that. the show just didn't feel right without Dr. Greene. he gave a great taste for the show and after he was gone, that enjoyable taste went away with him. I cry every time i see this video. so sad

  • The car without a tank is what? Get up Mark, don't be a baby.

  • Does anyone know where i can watch these episodes in full online?

    Alex why you so pretty and such a good actress?

  • the patch was because he couldnt close his eye while sleeping..... hence the fake tears to keep his eye moistured

  • Mark did spend his last time taking care of patients and being painful because of the trouble with Elizabeth and Rachael. It was very impressive to see how he got through his life knowing he's gonna die. I just started watching season 9 and until now this episode was the most affecting one. Although it's just a fiction, I thought about my life I'm spending and death to come and how I should fill my limited time not to feel regretful when I die.

  • that balloon flyed over the rainbow

  • i cry every time i watch this

  • SO SAD! Totally bittersweet, and I agree with @SoapOperaSpectacular !

  • Can anyone tell me why Mark has that thing over his eye? It's been so long, I can't remember what it was for

  • @gclover916 the cancer affected his vision, i believe

  • @gclover916 towards the end he couldnt close his eye so he wore a patch to cover it

  • @gclover916 yeah he couldnt keep his eye closed because of the brain tumor so he had to put that over so he could sleep i believe

  • my mother played Iz's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at my grandfathers funeral one year ago and then we played it again at my fathers funeral three months ago ... its a beautiful song and reminds of my grandfather, my father and one of my favourite characters on my favourite series ...

  • @westernforcechick007 you are a amazing person

  • I weep uncontrollably when I watch this episode.

  • I know this is not the song that people are asking for in the end, but it sounds alike and is very good, so give it a try: Eppure Sentire (Un senso di te)

  • what is up with the hiccups

  • This reminds me of when I lost my Dad a couple of years ago. Heartbreaking.

  • Every single time I see this I cry. There has never been a time where I don't cry! It's the greatness of ER that makes it that way of course! There is no show that even comes close!

  • This still have me boohoo crying 4 years later

  • when ever i see this i have to cry, i cant stop

  • CRY CRY CRY!!!!!!! SAD

  • I love this scene so much. Its so real <3

  • mark was the best character in er serie, i dont know how can kill him like that, it's just so sad, i remember i cry like a baby when he died

  • does anyone know the name of the song that starts as soon as corday kisses greens hand at like 2:31...it is soooooooooooo beautiful

  • wow Alex kingston is really good actor she made me feel what she felt thats powerful

  • I still think of this scene once in a while....cried like a baby.

  • Mark was a character I looked up to and was glad to see his daughter become a doctor too. Mark went as dignified as he could...Pratt was the shocker along with Gallant but Gallant was in Iraq doing his duty as any good soldier does. Hurrah!

  • Such a terrific (sad ofcurse) well directed and written storyline. Best show ever! <3 ER

  • @SoapOperaSpectacular even to til this day this scene moves me

  • watching video again need a good cry :(

  • MARK DIES?! :'( </3

  • Every time...every single time I see this episode I cry my eyes out. Such a fantastic character, great doctor and to top it all off, I think he was the only character on the show who seem genuine...I can't explain it very well, but I was not impressed by any of the others as I have been by this one. I sort of stopped watching the show after he left. I just couldn't watch it anymore, because it wasn't the same

  • @Patricia1912 ..my too i saw every episode to the end

  • @689321546 I lost interest in E.R. after Dr. Green died too. I love Israel Kamakawiwo Ole's version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow". Every time I hear that song, it reminds me of his passing in Hawaii. 

  • @Patricia1912 ok im not bein mean, i know some ppl that stopped watchin it after he died but it was still a great show till the very end..dr green was awesome and i loved him but er was the only show in my opinion that was perfect from the first episode to the last...no other show will ever come close to bein as good as er EVER...and im really not tryin to start anything ok

  • Saddest moment of TV ever. Except when ER ended too

  • For those saying "Doug & Carol" should've been at the funeral, you're not wrong, but the show was kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place in that regard. Even if Clooney and Margulies would've been willing to come back for this little bit, their presence would've been such a shock, you wouldn't have been thinking about anything else. Since they WEREN'T seen, people ask why they weren't there. (Maybe they just couldn't make it).

    Would've been nice to see Morgenstern, Jeannie, & Chuny too

  • Whenever I hear this song I think of this scene and I just start bawling,

  • I also thought it was weird that Carol and Doug werent there, they shoulda had them there too D:

  • I bawl my eyes out everytime I see this or just even think about it. Mark was a fantastic doctor, it was so weird not seeing him on the show after he died. He and Lucy were two of my favorite people on ER and I hate how they both had to die, and Pratt too. This show was and still is amazing.<3

  • Este Foi o melhor episodio de todos os seriados que eu ja assisti em minha vida!!

    Incomparavel!!!

  • mark greene was the best character nextto carter and weaver. the show went downhill when he left.

  • I've just watched this episode for the first time - it was the most beautiful thing ER has ever done.

  • i couldn't stop crying watching this episode! so sad!

  • One of the most beautiful chapters of this series

  • Comment removed

  • es dibertido.....!! con sol!!!

  • El mejor capitulo de ER.

  • Hey, does anyone know the name of the song played at Mark's funeral? Not when he's dying, but at the funeral? Please REPLY don't just type a comment above my post (that way I'll get your answer directly).

  • @Dragnforce555 It is an instrumental piece that was composed for the show. I really wish they would release another soundtrack with that piece of music. It is absolutely beautiful.

  • @SummerCohenOC if you would like to listen to the song, it is called "What A Wonderful World/Over The Rainbow" by Israel Kamakowiwo Ole

  • @thevulgurvlogger

    Actually, this particular version is just "Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. The one you mention has been used in other movies.

  • @msjuniejane1 my mistake

  • Comment removed

  • I normally never cry at TV or movies but I bawled my eyes out at this scene.

  • Over the Rainbow is amazing. My mother died of brain cancer and their portrayal of his experience is so accurate. I've been watching this since I discovered it a couple years ago.

  • I cried so hard when I saw this. I used to love this show and Mark was one of my favorite doctors.

  • @jetsfan4life dont worry your not alone i bawl my eyes out everytime i watch this episode which isnt very often because i dont like torturing myself lol ER had some the greatest writing i mean i could go months or even years without watching it and then when i finally watch it i really get into it and the emotion of it all comes back and brings me right back into it , its one of the reasons i love the show so much

  • This show wasn't the same after Dr.Greene dies- and from season 12 until Carter came back in Season 15 was just garbage

  • fuckin,,,,finest drama ever made.

  • i actually cried when i saw him die...

  • @111188y me too T.T

  • *somewhere

  • What is the name of the artist on soberhete over the rainbow?

  • @minXffs

    It's a beautiful version isn't it?  It's by the late Israel (Izzy) Kamakawiwo'ole. There are some vids here on YouTube of him singing.

  • Comment removed

  • this is so touching like the actor will die in reality. How much did I cry because of this how much this is the best scene ever

  • After 15 seasons of ER, I still find this one of THE moments of ER: Mark Greene was ER and even though he did not have a happy ending, it made a big impression. The way writers made this story line was very real and one of theire best.

  • Does anyone know the name of song that comes after "somewhere over the rainbow"? It's my favourite song ever and i'd love to be able to find the music sheet so i could learn it.

  • :(

  • Ele era considerado o coração da série...a sua perda foi sem dúvida das mais tristes e os espectadores mais sentiram falta...

  • Why was he wearing an eye patch?

  • @niuchemist

    His eyes were being affected because of the brain tumor. He had no moisture in his eye, and had to wear the patch to protect it..( I think I am remembering that all correctly)

  • I always think about this scene when i hear the song and i say to myelf, that it's just a serie but...then i realize, that it is much more for me...maybe it's my life

  • best song ever,,, and best show ever,,, I still tear up every moment I hear this song,,, and know my hero ,,,is gone,,, Dr. Greene best doctor ever behind Hawkeye,,, Dr. Pierc

  • Very <3 breaking. Dr. Greene will never be forgotten.

  • i remember watching this with my mom and just silently weeping with our hands over our faces, definitely an unforgettable moment!

  • my favorite characters have always been John Carter and Mark Greene, Carter because he came from been a medical student to pretty much running the er while Greene was always caring and cool even when he was doing stupid stuff like buying a gun

  • the song played during the funeral is

    "Karl Jenkins & Adiemus-Benedictus"

    but this is not the piano version

  • @belgiumrain

    thank you been looking for this song name .:)

  • I got the 8th season of ER for Christmas this year, and my hubby had never seen this episode, but I had. So I put it on for him, since he wanted to watch it. By the end, we were both almost in tears, him being more so than me. He was so heartbroken by this episode, he says he can't watch it again. Too upsetting for him. : (

  • @babygiraffe123 I have been collecting the DVD's also I found this ep very painful to watch I was sobbing I voted up because i am glad not to be tthe only one

  • Comment removed

  • Brilliant! The show was never the same after Dr. Greene died!

    Does anyone know how to get the instrumental music playing at funeral scene? I know that the music was composed specifically for the show and I can't seem to find it anywhere...

  • it`s the sadest moment for me (German) ive ever see in an TV Serie. I Cry . mark Green was the best part of the Show. This is the best episode of the complete Show

  • how did he die

  • I agree, or at least some mention made of them. "Doug and Carol were sorry they couldn't be here" or something.

  • jak się nazywa ta piosenka??

  • Mark was one of the best on the show. I think he should have gotten a happier ending too. But I didn't write for this show. And sadly this show would have been boring without rough times. It is what made this show so great. You watched not knowing what would happen.

  • saddest moment ever...

    everytime i watch it i can't stop crying. hours later i am still crying...

  • Does anyone know the song playing from 2:30 onwards?

  • I think Clooney should get his best friend for burial

    its really sad..in this episode i cry for long time

  • Crying

  • Clooney and Juliana should have been at the funeral...

  • @Rock7132 They were asking too much money for it but Clooney has said he does regret not returning for this

  • @Rock7132 i agree , i mean cloony was his best friend , he should'v been at funeral

  • @Rock7132

    Yes, they should have been. I read yesterday, that George Clooney didn't want to do it, because he was afraid of "overshadowing" the death of a major character, and didn't want to take attention away from that. Don't know why Julianna Margulies didn't appear.

  • @babygiraffe123

    Juliana probably didn't appear, because why would Carol come and not Doug..Would have been weird and unbelievable in my opinion to just have one of them come,.

  • @babygiraffe123 For Pratt's death, the writers had a cleverer solution: instead of showing the funeral, they showed the cast returning from it. That was a great way to have characters like Dr Kovac or Pratt's father attending the funeral without having to get the actors to actually be filmed. The way they mentioned Carter, Lewis and Weaver was also top notch. Another example is Mrs Taylor on 90210. For Mark, 'twas a very hard task either way.

  • @Rock7132 I agree.

  • @Rock7132 Even Dr. Swift's here.

  • @Rock7132 George Clooney was reportedly asked to return briefly in season 8, to make an appearance during late in the season, in Anthony Edwards last episode (he'd be featured in Dr. Mark Greene's funeral), but Clooney declined because he did not want his cameo appearance to overshadow the departure of a beloved character on the show.

  • @Rock7132

    Actually, Clooney declined to come back because he didn't want his presence on the show to overshadow Mark Greene's death.

  • Every time i see this i come close to crying and sometimes end up crying this is a very emotional scene it made seeing the doctor greene's flashback in season 15 harder knowing what would happen to the character RIP Mark Greene.

  • What's sad is when you look at the whole series, Mark seems to be the character that is always abused or beat down. Jen leaves him, he's beat up, his mom dies, his dad dies right after, his career takes hits, his daughter is addicted to drugs, he gets a brain tumor, and then he dies from it. No other character besides Carter suffers that much abuse during the series. He's the writers' whipping boy, and when he leaves the show he doesn't get to live in the peace he's earned over the last 7 years

  • @bozo50bball i agree with u 100% mark green was the writers whipping boy

  • @bozo50bball Whipping boy? Main characters on ANY show goes through rough times. That's what makes it kind of real. And Anthony Edwards wanted his character killed off, hense why they brought back his tumor........wow smart one

  • @wolves1109 I'm the "smart one." At least I know how to use the English language correctly. Main characters on any show GO through rough times. Kind of does not help you sound more real, it makes you sound like you can't emphasize a point. And it's hence, not hense, smart ass.

  • @bozo50bball Whatever, if a main character didnt GO through the rough times, then the show would be boring as hell!

  • @bozo50bball At least he wasn't crushed a helicopter

  • mark greene and carter are er...

    mark greene and carter are the best characters on er..

  • ughh :((

  • this makes me cry all the time when i watch it. i never even used to watch it as i was too young. :'(

  • i cried when Mark died. He's the type of father we all wished we had, and all he wanted to do was save Rachel from making mistakes without her father their to fix it. This was a sad episode and one of my favorites minus the Lucy's death episode too.

    I wish they would of brought back Carol and Doug, because Doug was Mark's best friend and its not believable that he wouldnt have been their to support Elizabeth, Ella, Rachel and Jen. I know that they couldnt at the time bring them on but still.

  • good way to make a person cry!!!

  • wtf 7 dislikes?!

  • @cullenxxlover

    7 poor people, just don't get it.

  • clooney must have been doing a movie, i can't believe he wouldn't have come back to be in the funeral scene, like so many others

  • ER really special but Mark most outstanding . Doug.. Carter ... Suzie... carol ... really great ... miss them ..

  • How did he die? Wat did he die offf?

  • @CsiMiamiLover09

    Was it cancer?

  • @kwulfe Yes, it was a brain tumor. :'(

  • 4:47

    Look at that face and tell me you don't see a bit of Mark in her.

  • You know that you've watched great television when you are able to see a major character from a show you've barely watched die and still feel strong emotion towards their death.

  • Wow it's been a while since I've seen this but man does it still pack a punch.

  • Oh my God....did I cry when I watched this...and again now, rewatching it...season 8 has its share of heartbreaking moments!!!!!!!

  • for the music just type in IZ

  • The fact that my uncle passed away from the same exact tumor "Greene" had exactly a week later, made this episode even more emotional for me on a different level, bc I knew my uncle was going to be gone very soon.

  • Seriously one of the saddest times in the history of ER... this is so very touching.

    I don't think there can ever be another series that gets to me as much as this one.

  • Anyone know if the piano music is avaliable anywhere else than on the ER soundtrack...seems to be piano part played through ER "sad" parts...Greenes funeral, Luka back from Africa, The spreading of ashes of Joshua and the return of Gallant. Done some checking and it is not any of the melodies suggested so far

  • Why they had to take him away?! Why?

    For me E.R. was never the same without him...

    I couldn't avoid crying in this scene...

  • マーク・・素敵な思い出をありがとう

    あなたの意思は、ERに残った人たちに受け継がれてるよ

    Thank you

    

  • what is the second part of the music? it's beautiful.

  • was Elisabeth angry at Rachel or what ? There was no emotion when she said her that she is her sister...

  • @wmartin94

    in season eight ella took two of rachael's ecstasy tablets on accident and ella almost died. elizabeth refused to be around rachael until she found out mark had a tumor.

  • I was crying so hard.

    mark new happy life on the sky.

  • ¡¡¡COMO LLORÉ :'( CON ESTE CAPÍTULO (MÁS QUE EN OTROS :P !!!).
