This episode was crazy. You see Carter get stabbed and you are just thinking about him and his life. Then you get the reveal that Lucy was stabbed too. ER was truly must see tv in its prime.
One of the most horrifying moments in television history was when Carter and Lucy see each other. It still gets me all these years later.
One of the few moments on TV that still haunts me.
agreed... also one of the cruelest cliffhangers ever! even worse than breaking bad
Yeah. Terrified me as a kid
that plus the music. the juxtaposition and the surprise. i relive it constantly
Me too
When carter first walks in (around 0:55) you can see the patient’s arm/shoulder slightly in frame in the corner behind carter, waiting. What an amazingly shot and directed scene, bravo to Laura innes for this. Would love to read the screenplay if anyone has it.
It’s so creepy seeing him behind Carter.
They're still a mistake though. In the next episode Weaver looks in the room because she sees a bloody bare footprint on the floor but here you can clearly see that he's wearing socks and shoes
Maby they where trying to get the idea that the crazy patients was barefoot and carter was bleeding a lot and Maby he got blood on the floor and the patient stepped in the hood to escape from the room hence forth creating the bloody footprint
Blood*
@@PlumbPitiful I think your seeing things I didn't see no bare foot print
I can’t imagine how it must’ve been for people when it first came out. They had to wait a whole week to find out what would happen.
When Lucy and Carter lock eyes here it gave me goosebumps all over again. I REALLY miss ER
@Spiritual Mama same here but this scene is soooo sad to me 😭
ER is simply the best hospital programme to have ever existed.

*Edit Note:* Added the prefix.
@@maazkalim no, the fact that many famous actors now begins in this show tells a lot about quality of this show. And many late episodes costs a lot of money and special skills to shooting episodes (in Africa), proves that this show influenced to the culture of TV series in general.
many now-famous thespians got their break from this* And recent episodes costed a lot* There! FTFY, "@@ingada"
Just because multiple A-listers purportedly got "the break" from this show isn't a testament to their acting-chops, nor the project's casting-department - unless.. You meant preemptive stunt-casting is a legit barometre of an audiovisual product's quality.
Moving on.. North American TV projects going on for years, mostly because they have the same cast and the numbers that kept them going for so long.. Naturally incentivise the main-cast to renegotiate their comp and get a better-deal come contract-renewal time, this has absolutely nothing to do with “quality” of that project but sheerly its consumer-base.. And thespians renegotiating for better comp is nothing but sheer laborism in capitalist economies.
Last but not the least.. I, I just can't.. This must be some oh-so-innocent racist assumption on your part that producing( "filming") an audiovisual project in any part out of the whole of Africa, this one-&-only Planet's 2nd largest continent and to be trite a bit, not a country: Has nothing whatsoever to do with some amorphous "sKiLls", "genius". Hollywood has been filming in South Africa and even more prominently, Morocco - for decades-&-decades. Not sure how it is anyhow even relevant, and most-likely the most absurd/ludicrous in all of reasoning. Thanks for engaging, even if you're not a meat/puppet of "the OP" or one of those who "👍" the parent-comment by the time I posted that reply.
As horrifying as it was to see Carter attacked, it got even worse when he looked over and saw Lucy and realized she was hurt even worse.
And can you imagine how horrible it was for HER? She's lying there, praying for someone to come and help her, but when Carter comes in, she can't warn him, and now her only hope of rescue is gone.
yep
And turns out Weaver FOUND THEM
I believe Lucy was stabbed three more times than Carter & she was laying there longer too
And then when Lucy's up in surgery but still awake on the table and you hear all the alarms going off in her monitors and she mouthes pulmonary embolism? And she knows she's going to die...
oh my God
oh my God
More horrifying is the happy music playing and a hospital full of doctors and first responders at the front desk oblivious to what has happened and were unable to prevent the stabbings!
My heart was in my throat when this aired. E.R. was some of the most riveting television I've ever watched.
Mine, too! I thought they were going to lose Carter and it ended up being Lucy. I never got into her character, but it felt like a sucker punch when Romano and Elizabeth stopped the heart compressions and she flatlined.
Mine too.
I remember this whole episode. I was on the edge of my seat.
90s TV was such a great era to be a viewer.
This scene was fantastic and chilling. Now this makes me want to go binge ER! I haven’t seen it since it aired, would be so fun to watch again.
Nothing out there like it now.
Give it a watch it's on Hulu
I can't even imagine having to wait a week between the episodes after this cliffhanger. Now you can stream it but imagine that was a week of hell for a lot of people. I looked it up and 38.39 million people watched the next episode and it did a 48 share. Numbers that wouldn't happen now.
Two of the best episodes they made.
It was tough. And there no spoilers back then - it came out of the blue, so we’re all sitting there, stunned, and the credits roll. I remember going “noooooooo!” and thinking there was no way I’d make it a whole week to find out what happened next.
@@maryavatar I feel ya. I was crying "Bubbie" (which was my pet name for Carter) and whimpering...shift to Lucy and I went into scream mode. the moment the screen was black, I started cursing to the point my grandmother was like "what the hell is going on?" sadly, she never watched ER and my mom was over a thousand miles due west and I couldn't call her.
It was brutal having to wait. I will never forget this episode, how shocking it was, and how it felt to watch it play out. Brilliant freaking television writing.
Yes.
"I think we have a bigger knife in the lounge!"
"Couldn't find it."
Horrifying when you realise why.
I will never, ever forget watching this for the first time. It was visceral, and real, and heartbreaking. One of the finest pieces of television ever made, and it's stayed with me ever since I saw it.
Same here, the first time I saw this was back in 2000 I was 17 at the time, I teared up.
I still can’t hear that song without seeing her face
Still the most powerful and shocking scripted TV moment ever. All these later and it’s still unforgettable. It literally shook me to my core.
It still makes me mad decades later that they were playing the music so loud and partying in the ER. Such negligence.
I know..never happens in the ED I worked at. Totally wrong
Well in reality parties at that scale at any hospital are probably prohibited. Sick people want to sleep, somewhere loved ones say goodbye and people are dying. Would be pretty shitty hearing funky music playing in situations like that.
I agree but they had to figure out a way for them both to get attacked at the same time and Carter to get an addiction.
It's called a show toots.
@@duranduran6415 What? You mean it's not a documentary? Wow! I had no idea I couldn't comment on a scene from a fictional TV show because it's not real life. Thanks, toots.
Laura Innes did such an incredible job directing this episode. Both the reveals in this scene are so powerful.
I didn’t know she directed this one. Incredible.
No way?!! Kerry directed it?! Cool 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️
Amazing episode.
Did you know that dr romanio is also a directer of this series
@@nandhanakrishnanr4990 and did it until the final season (Romano lose his battle against helicopter in season 10
That song still makes me physically uncomfortable. God, what an incredible show.
I have Battleflag, by Lo Fidelity Allstars featuring Pigeonhead on my MP3 player.
@@CofyjunkyPNW It's a jam, but it IS pretty damn creepy.
I remember screaming at the tv for Carter to get to the hallway. As soon as he realized he was bleeding, he took a couple of steps towards the bed, instead of trying for the door. I realize he was in shock and was trying to stay upright by grabbing something, but I so badly wanted him to get help for them both
Yes but he knew the attacker had been behind him so he would have walked right in his direction
"I think we have a bigger knife in the lounge." "Couldn't find it!" damn, I missed that the first time I saw this and the dozen times I've watched this again.
Yeah - don't forget, Lucy finds Paul in the lounge earlier in the episode too and takes him back to his room. So that was when he swiped the knife.
Ditto.
@lunabelletheinsane yup and stabbed her
I can never hear that song without thinking of this episode. It was so incredibly shocking. Right up there with Dr. Greene getting attacked and Dr. Gant’s suicide. Just gut wrenching.
Wait mark was attacked
@@abigaildavis9720 Yeah, in season 3 he got attacked in the bathroom during the episode, “Random Acts.” The first time I saw that, it felt like it went on forever.
Just saw it in the show Black Bird and I had to come watch this clip.
@@mattcuellar8334 my entire body took a screenshot when they played this song on Blackbird
This is an incredible song!!
Its incredible even 25 years how well this is scored to “Battleflag”.
All other sounds cutting out and it’s just that sinister bass line right as the figure appears from the darkness and the horror begins.
This show was as good as it’s Emmy count
That scene scared me to the core, I froze to my couch but couldn't stop watching.
Me too..
I remember the ending came out of nowhere. My mom and I gasped/screamed when the shot went to Lucy.
When you think we’re seeing an already awful scene and Carter’s eyes are beginning to take on that dull stare - and the horror ramps up and we see what he sees. Lucy in an even worse state.
Unbelievable.
Gripping, raw, and brutal!! This one started with me a long time.
I’ve never gotten over this or the death of Lucy
That was very rough to see Lucy agonizing, suffering and dying for an entire episode after. Probably one of the most hard character's death on the show with Mark Greene.
It’s really quite unfair people can watch the next episode right away these days. Those of us that lived through it live HAD TO WAIT A WHOLE WEEK TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT!
Wasn't that the season finale, so we had to wait a WHOLE SUMMER?
This was so gut wrenching.Seeing Lucy and Carter so violently attacked. It still gives me the chills.
As I recall Kellie Martin had lost her sister around the time this season aired and felt she could no longer star in a medical drama which led to her getting written off.
Is that right ?? XD
MrCraigblaze No. She was unhappy with her storyline and lack of character development so she quit.
@@therealmistahjay Depending in who you ask ? I hear something different someone else xd
@@MrCraigblaze I've heard both those stories, not sure which is true.
@@DLRX Me too..Well the end result is still the same..XD. Ever watch her movies on the hallmark channel. ?? XD
I had the biggest crush on Kellie Martin... seeing her on the floor at the end just broke me. "No... no... no! Not her! Not Lucy!" It was an eternity waiting for the next week's episode. The preview had shots of Lucy in it and I totally thought she was going to pull through.
I was going to ask if she made it because I don’t remember this episode… Apparently she didn’t
The acting in this show was beyond everything. I get SO TENSE watching these two episodes even now, 20 years later as if I have never seen them before, even though I have watched them countless times.
0:58 maybe it's me but I think you can hear Lucy make a noise after Carter picks up the card :( if that's what that sound is, it makes the directing of the episode even more realistic and amazing, such a subtle touch
I heard it.
You meant that "Ughhhh!" welp from non-visual source at 0:59, to be clear?
“i think there’s a bigger knife in the lounge” right off the bat OUCH
“Couldn’t find it”
Was watching ER tonight where Lucy was upset that her heart L.VAD patient had a stroke and died and Luka was consoling her outside and he said maybe you'll make a difference in the next patients life. Then an ambulance pulled up and it was Paul the stabber. Such a shame.
I just got into this show and was so upset carter was stabbed, but when he saw lucy i gasped so loud. Omg!! Broke my heart.
this episode, and the one where Dr. Greene died makes me cry every time
I’ll never ever forget this episode. I was only a teenager when it aired & I had a pit in my stomach the whole time watching but wow what an episode. Utterly riveting TV.
This was my first introduction to proper american tv amd my first true "oh my god i wasn't expecting that!!!" This moment made me realise how amazingly written it was. Such a pivotal moment in carters storyline and was so shocking when we saw lucy laying on the floor 😢
This clip kind of ruins the effect by having the scene go to black; when originally aired the song continued to play while the normal end credit slide came up, letting you know this was it until next week.
This was the first episode of e.r I ever watched. I remember the trailer for the episode kept hyping it up. " A episode so shocking" I had to wstch. After this episode I was hooked.
“Hyping” anything and everything is literally in the job-description.
Outside Merica, even so-called public service broadcasters do this.
The OG in medical drama 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️😍🥰
I remember watching this episode in live time and back then that was it watch ER must see Thursday’s..but this episode was extremely powerful one of the best I’ve seen..the cast supporting cast nailed this two part series
Carter knew that Lucy's injuries were way worst. Her neck, chest and belly were injured. She would have never survived that. Carter was lucky to be alive. And all because a patient wasn't put in restraints. He thought that his organs would be stolen.
I watched these episodes when they came out and to this day I still remember them. This was such a great show. I liked Lucy and was sad to see her go
Alfred Hitchcock and John Carpenter vibes all through this scene. I remember watching this episode in health class my Senior year of high school and the whole room gasped when Lucy was revealed on the floor. The scene is still chilling 22 years later.
Incredible writing....being a nurse most realistic medical show on TV back then...nothing will replace it!
Is your Mr Carpenter related to Mr Stephen Carpenter one?
why were you watching this in health class? just curious
@@lorencappelson6475 Yes, ER was still fairly new at that time.
I remember when I was in elementary school, before I got into ER myself, I had a classmate who was really keyed up because she had just seen the episode where they got stabbed, and she had heard that Kellie Martin was planning on leaving the show. She knew, before the age of social media, that Lucy was probably going to die. And she was right! She called it. I didn't get into ER myself until a couple of years after. I can't imagine what it must have been like for people seeing this as it was happening, not knowing for sure what was going to happen until it did. It was probably one hell of a white-knuckled ride.
it was announced she was going to die before the episode
I have always loved the fact that they kept the background music from the party playing bc for them that’s what they were hearing too and it was probably so frustrating to hear that music knowing how inappropriate it was for what was happening to them and that nobody could hear them over the music even if they COULD manage to yell.
Others have postulated it was enhanced not in-camera perspective but beyond the 4th wall, for us - the audiences.
And we hear the same thing agai when the attacker returns later in the series 🥺
Love the song, and it just fit so perfectly into the scene. The build, the anxiousness, the dread.
Me too
It's almost a little unfortunate that the song is such a banger. It's now made it into my normal music rotation, but I always think about this scene when it comes on, which is...a time.
Dam it this show was so good! I remember this scene, it was so shocking!
That moment where they see each other - the chills 😱
The song - Lo Fidelity All Stars+Pigeonhed "Battleflag". I love it, but it still kinda creeps me out.
I remember first watching this ep during lockdown in 2020. I went into it not knowing what happened and what a great twist it was!
Happy birthday kellie as lucy from italian boy live in rome and I m fan of er
I didn't remember, but Pop just showed Lucy's first episode yesterday ("Day for Knight"), and on the first day of her ER rotation, it's Jerry's birthday (though, after the day she'd had, Lucy didn't want any cake, or feel like celebrating), and they have cake & a party for him...I didn't see the knife (or its size) they used to cut that cake, or where they kept it, but they were preparing for the party in the lounge....so, either someone on the writing staff remembered that, and wanted to make a nice 'full circle' moment to Lucy's time in the ER, or it's quite a coincidence
Day for Knight just aired again this morning, and at the beginning of the episode, when Lucy arrives in the ER with the man she tried to help outside, Mark ends up kind of shooing her out of the trauma room, and Carol tells her how to get to chairs or the desk, and all I could think, was, 'just keep going out the door, sweetie, please, don't stay here!'...also, she's shown several times, being emotionally overwhelmed at the deaths of patients, and the severe injury to the firefighter - she clearly doesn't have what it takes, to be an ER doctor, maybe even a doctor at all (and I'm not even talking about how she couldn't start an IV)...it's too bad that had to be her first rotation, instead of further down the line, when she had a little more mileage on her, more experience under her belt, things might've worked out better for her (not to mention, she may not have been there, the day Paul Sobreki was brought in)....lastly, anyone else notice the pretty insurance saleswoman patient, and how she's trying to sell Lucy insurance - disability, though, not life, because, 'statistically, she's much more likely to be maimed or disabled, than she is, to be killed' um....
okay, I did have one more thought....the Sobriki storyline was kind of done before on ER...remember season 3, episode 11, "Night Shift" Mark has a patient, Shelly, who came in disoriented ("Dr. Greene with a head like a bean"), and she didn't want an LP, either, actively resisted, frankly, refused consent, but they did it to her, anyway, and it turns out, she was 'only' sick, not mentally ill, like Sobriki, but there but, right?
(you might remember this episode better, as the one where Dr. Grant....um...his last episode)
Music that loud is completely put of line in a hospital
The only thing worse than thinking that you’re dying is to think that this music is the last thing you will ever hear.
Right, I love this song. You think a slow song or some intense music would have been playing. Instead it's party music.
Esa escena la vi cuando se estrenó y hoy en el 2023 me sigue doliendo como la primera vez, aunque he visto muchas series, si duda esté capítulo fue el más impactante que he visto.
I remember watching this episode for the first time I wasn’t paying attention to this scene until he crashed into the furniture and was so damn confused about what happened. The music was such a loud contrast it’s unforgettable
Carter was the one character on this show who suffered the most tragedy. Not only personally but professionally as well. He lost 3 of his medical students. Knight to stabbing, and both Pratt and Gallant in two separate explosions.
Best episode of ER ever. Second is the one after this
Still the best episode of ER
Who came here after The Good Doctor ripped it off last night?
I remember this scene so clearly and it being so hard to watch - I don't remember the music being so loud and intrusive on the episode though...
I watch this the night they aired it. I was bopping along to the music, this is one of my favorite songs, and then all of a sudden the attack happens and the popcorn was flying off my lap and I was screaming NOOOOO!!! All these years later it's still a gut punch.
Even after many years, I still remember this episode very well. Was heartbreaking.
This had to be one of the two best episodes of ER ever!!!
...and also it was the birth of my love for low Fidelity all stars of Battle flag
this scene..... GAH!!!! shivers, and goosebumps, and the most terrified I have been watching a show!!!
love abby,de.kovacs,de greene,carter.one of the best shows.they don't do it like this anymore
Chicago Med is great, but nothing compares to ER.
Even that jerk Romano took it personally when he was unable to save her in the operating room...
This scene managed to put a pet in the bottom of your stomach and make you so angry that nobody was doing anything just wanted to throw your remote
'I think we have a bigger knife in the lounge.' 'Couldn't FIND IT!' That's creepy knowing that's how the pt attacked the Dr's.
2 people get stabbed
Meanwhile Er: 🕺 💃🏽 🎶 🎂
Which makes it even creepier. No one is safe...even in an ER
Best tv show ever and I am the first to comment
A lot of People also put The Sopranos as the Best TV Show ever. But I would include this on the list. Personally, I thought that Hill Street Blues or the VArious Star Trek Series were the best shows ever.
I bawled my eyes out when I watched this for the first time. Still really gets me.
The uptone and more frantic theme they used during the actual trauma with the building and pulsing orchestra was what made the tension in the following scenes when they try and save their lives...
I still have nightmares with this song because of this episode.
One of the best TV shows ever made,just below Sopranos and Breaking bad for me.....Outstanding show still 2021
Where do you think this ranks out of the most shocking conclusions to a TV episode of all time? Gotta be top 5.
This episode had me very shaken. I had never had a tv show do that to me before. Possibly not since.
This scene gave me nightmares as a kid
Overall this was an excellent show with a good run but it went off the rails at some point... guess you have to keep topping the previous season.
Still shocks me to this day, and I like the song playing, but I'll forever associate with this moment
This partying doesnt happen.
I was going to say.... I used to work in a hospital and the craziest thing that the ER staff ever did was sing Happy Birthday to one of the nurses.
It's ridiculous.
The fact that Kerry didn't walk in and immediately shut everything down is ridiculous.
Remember seeing this and then not seeing the followup and being told "Lucy Died". I Was so pissed.
Was so happy to finally get to watch it when I was a sophomore in college on TNT reruns. I skipped class for it. WORTH IT. The episode following this (All in the Family) is by far the best episode of the series in my opinion.
I saw this episode when it aired in every time I hear this song I get chills
The best episode ever!! Omg i still remember how i was impressed when i watch this episode and the song epic!
John e Lucy sono i miei personaggi preferiti, lei mi ricorda molto me,sto finendo un tirocinio pure io e avrei tanto voluto al mio fianco un mentore come Carter .
Im pissed just listening to the ER become a discotheque! Ugh. Take that crap softly to the employee lounge
The music wasn't really that loud at the front desk. The volume was increased for the TV audience to add a powerful dramatic effect..
Anyone know the episode where Carter gets attacked by a woman, and then he trows her against a window?
The Longer You Stay
Anyone else watching on Valentine's Day? No? Just me? 😂
Scariest moment of TV ever.
Peter running down the stairs yelling “is he conscious”
Full body goosebumps every time I watch!
I was in total shock...
That's what I say when I say Grey's Anatomy is unrealistic. No need to make half the hospital colapse every season, just use a very realistic person going ballistic and attacking others. ER will always be better than Grey's.
It’s been decades and I still think about Lucy’s death.
This is the most powerful scene in TV history 😢
Some what if's...
What if Carter died instead of Lucy?
What if they both died?
What if they both made it?
The party is not realistic. Too big & too loud. 40 years in ER.
Their attacker who went off the rails also played another crazy-type character 8 yrs later on L&O SVU
This scene was absolutely riveting, and I love this song so much. Perfection.
And the piece of shit that did it ended up walking free. Smh
He was on a conditional release. He was undiagnosed schizophrenic.
