One of the best scenes ever in Greys history. We weren't meant to hear the conversation between Mer and Christina in the car. It illustrates that they have a connection that no one else understands- they get each other. It was a turning point for Derek; instead of fighting the relationship between Mer and Christina, he embraced it. Truly touching scene- excellent acting. Great guest arc from Eric Stoltz. It's not easy to feel sympathy for the devil but he brought a human element to the character. Excellently written.
I love how Derek knows that Cristina is the person Meredith needs to see. This show is so incredibly brilliant. The writing, directing, producing, acting are just all so tremendous.
I love Meredith's character. She keeps doing crazy things, she doesn't even understand why, but in a brave and self-sacrificing way. I respect her for doing this for this man.
Props to Ellen for making Meredith such a complex emotional character. Meredith is by far the most challenging character in the series. Even in her impulsive and self destructive choices, the audience feels for her and understands where she is coming from.
To be a doctor and watch that must be incredibly painful. You fight so hard to save lives everyday, and then to watch a life be taken away just like that is heart-wrenching, even if the person dying is a criminal.
Derek is soo sweet..he understands meredith even if he hated that serial-killer and he takes her to christina's place to make her feel better. What a man *_*
On Grey's there are moments that as soon as i see them, i know that they are making history and this was one of them. When i watched this when it came out i knew it would be one of my favorite moments on the show ever and it's been 6 years and it still affects me.
I love this scene. So powerful, how beyond what he did, she can see him as a human. He was scared and she was there to be there for him “ show compassion” .. when he turn and saw her sitting there.. oh God my heart.
This show really has some of the best crying scenes ever. Many other crying scenes from other shows or just not as good actors in the same show, just get tears in their eyes and that's it. Not really acted emotionally or anything. But Grey's always makes sure it's emotional.
There are no words to desribe this scene. It is absolute perfection and truly sums up the power of this series. The acting is incredible and the music gives me goosebumps all the time. My favourite scene in Grey's anatomy, Shonda Rhimes is truly a genius!
When I first saw this scene, I was shaking so much because of my crying! Then, my sister walked in on me crying and all she said was, “You watched William’s execution, didn’t you?” I said yes and she started crying too. 😭💔
I remember the first time I saw this scene I was on my couch I couldn't stop crying (and i'm really not a crying baby) this is really a touching scene :( I love grey's anatomy so much!
@nancydrewgirl911 The dialogue of the lemons is a key piece to understand that. When William says that before he dies, you know that he wasn't playing her. And deep down Mer did know that, that he only was scared.
Can't forget this scene which made me cry. I feel the same way towards the prisoner just like what she did. Very touching that you'll feel sympathy to those people whom you don't expect to feel emotional. Meredith's brave on this one.
@@lauramr2923 WHAT??? If anything it’s TOO humane! They just sent that psycho over the rainbow bridge with your stupid childhood dog! All violent offenders and should be drawn and quartered.
@@lauramr2923???? That is such a humane way to die compared to his victims?? It isn't the electrician chair? What's an acceptable way to kill? We treat innocent animals worse than that. Gimme a break.
@@enzomartinez8083 it didn’t really start going downhill until season 11. Season 1-10 are fantastic. 11-14 are great. 15-16 is horrible. 17 is okay and 18 is bad(so far)
Let's pretend that he isn't a serial killer who murdered 5 women for fun and only stopped because he got caught. Criminals especially serial killers don't deserve compassion. Victims would feel allot safer if society doesn't make excuses for Criminals. Cristina and Derek were right and Meredith was wrong. She's the worst character on the show.
@@ehimenjuniorakhimien6132 You don’t decide who deserves compassion & who not. Death Penalty is wrong hence why you can feel sorry for them. If you hate the main character don’t watch it
@@ehimenjuniorakhimien6132 I‘ve never said I care more about criminals than the victims. That’s only your assumption. Meredith is the best Grey’s character. Show is about her
I started watching Greys in season 3 and related to her a lot and and especially in season 4 when she started to go to therapy, but this is the moment I fell in love with her. The level of compassion here is superb. Meredith is #goals. And she's pretty and gorgeous and a fighter. I want to be just like her when I grow up. Props to Shonda.
She felt sympathy for the devil, I did too. This is top three saddest moment in Greys imo. I love how the episode is named after The Rolling Stones song ”Sympathy for the devil”😢
Julietta Grey I'm sure it was improvised. The script probably said that they say something to each other which the audience can't hear. I think that was just to show their connection to each other and how what they said was unimportant but that they are such good friends.
I know this is a sad episode but I can’t get over when Derek took her to Christina’s and she said to him “did you propose?” I was hysterical and sobbing at the same time.
Heartbroken! This was hard to watch, the execution part almost killed me. I understand wanting to show compassion and I understand making a mistake that could cost you your life. I have no words, only tears right now. Heaven on earth...wow!
i have never cried so much over an episode and its this scene (and the one where the mother is saying goodbye to her dying son) that gets me everytime. I cry so so hard haah
Amongst the strongest of episodes in grey's I respect Shonda for this because its not easy to do DR in a correct way even the guys who did the game prison architect admitted its really hard to do it correctly
the best thing about those two episodes this criminal and all what got to me was just few scenes that got me first whenever that guy used to say to that whatever helps you sleep at night doctor grey and when he offered his organs to that kid it was awesome!
I don't mind what it touched me the most... The violence of the execution scene or the acting of Ellen crying of a deep compation. What's sure is that scene still makes me reflecting two day after seeing it on TV...
So this video played automatically (thanks youtube autoplay) at the end of another. Ive never watched/follwed Grey's anatomy, and i didnt watch this video, but i did read the comments and now i want to watch the series just to experience this scene (which i still not spoiled for me!!) because it seemingly hit a lot of you pretty deeply :P
this is one of the scenes from greys anatomy that has forever stuck with me. what mer says always wrenches my heart, and how derek knew she needed cristina. ugh my heart.
I used to see things in black and white when I was a kid, and I hated it when people doing the cruel things. But the more I grow up, the more I don’t know what is right or wrong anymore. And at some point in my life, I realized I even had compassion for evil people, and that shocked me to the core. I even think of myself as a hypocrite and some kind of evil just like them. This scene touched me when I watched it 5 years ago, and I had cried for days. It never gets old for me.
I know this guy was a killer but I cry hard every time I see this episode. You can tell he was severely mentally ill which is no excuse by any means, but that’s still a human being that had only one person at his execution that was there *for him.* Bless Meredith’s heart, she truly is a good person. The way she said “it was horrible” is heartbreaking.
I’m understand what you’re saying but I don’t believe in the death penalty because of the innocent women and men that are executed by mistake. You have to believe in the death penalty or not. Years ago I did but I’ve seen too many stories about people that were innocent dying. Besides what’s makes us able to put someone to death. That’s gods decision to make.
bruh..? He didn;t have any compassion for the women he murdered? Duh if everyone was compassionate and good the world would be a better place.. dumb comment.
I didn't cry in this scene, but I did feel overwhelmed. The murderer did deserve it, he deserved to die in the end. It's the simple Karma, nothing can stop this natural phenomenon. But it was overwhelming to see how it affected Meredith and Derek in two different ways. I'm glad they didn't use this event to break up the relationship though, that would've been awful. I was so happy to see that these two had matured above that. It was definitely a sad scene though.
I relate so well with Meredith...in a way i'm very detached to people but when i do care about something it is odd to some people...and when yo have someone , just one person like Christina who gets that version of you, it's great!
And while you're going on and on about how the death penalty is a sin, killing people and taking a life is a sin, what do you have to say to people killing INNOCENT people? When a mother is killed, when a pretty innocent young girl is raped and killed, i wonder if you have ever taken that into perspective for once.. A LIFE IS A LIFE after all, like you said. That is WAY WORSE than a (quick and relatively painless) CRIMINAL execution.
Thank you! You're like one of maybe two people that actually make sense in this ridiculous comment section. It's like screw the innocent, they're already dead, let's have compassion for a serial killer because then we can feel better about ourselves.
Gosh, I miss this Grey's Antomy ❤💚🔥 I Hope I find someone in my life that's like Derek, Christina and Alex that they where for Meredith! Great show but stopped watching a while ago

I love the fact that Derek knew that she need Christina in that moment
Something that Owen would never understand
I love that Derek knew where she'd be
Me and my person are beside Meredith and Cristina
Derek knows what Meredith needs and… he did
@TheBible_I mean he has traumas too- he witnessed the muder of his father next to his baby sister
"Did you propose?" I was crying, but I burst out laughing when Cristina said that XD

mer said: you dont have to say anything.
and christina said: ok.
ahh finally!

I don’t think it’s that. Mer's lips don’t match that phrase. Cristina does say "ok" tho.
That song, that ending speech, oh my god one of the greatest grey's episodes ever.

Absolutely true.
That was a humane and dignified death? WTF. Nothing he gave those innocent women. Youre stupid.

I was happy that the little boy survived.
By the way, the lethal injection process that is taking place, usually lasts much longer in reality.

And while you're going on and on about how the death penalty is a sin, killing people and taking a life is a sin, what do you have to say to people killing INNOCENT people? When a mother is killed, when a pretty innocent young girl is raped and killed, i wonder if you have ever taken that into perspective for once.. A LIFE IS A LIFE after all, like you said. That is WAY WORSE than a (quick and relatively painless) CRIMINAL execution.

My three favorite characters, Mer Cristina and Derek. Loved this episode.
I half though he was going to break free and hurt Meredith and Christina watching those episodes
I love this scene but I hate how everyone is giving Shonda all the credit when it was written by a man named Mark Wilding
Damn this episode. Was so great. So emotional. Been watching greys anatomy since 2012 again and again and again ❤️
This scene solidified my love for Meridith Grey
" eu só queria mostrar um pouco de compaixão pra ele" 😪👏👏
