You said you wanted to know something, Brian. What did you learn today? What do you say, Brian, huh? Time to move on?
Look, you are sorta making yourself fair game.
Thanks for the insight.
Brian, look
Just leave me alone, okay?
...Not now, Brian.
Had to take on another fire bare handed, huh? Had to be fucking myth man in there instead of looking out for your probie. Is that what happened? Is it, Stephen?
I had that fire. He didn't listen!
He didn't listen? He was a fucking candidate! He was your responsibility. He shouldn't have been there in the first place, Stephen. You burned him.
Fuck you.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Just... Just wanted to say hello...
So hello.
Well, long as you're here you can help clean up a little. I've got a guy coming to look at this in a few minutes.
You're selling dad's boat?
Yeah, it's just another memory in my life right now. And I got way too many of them...
I really should get back. There's... there's something I'm supposed to do.
Yeah? What have you got to do? Look at you. Look at your face. All the things you must be thinking. Man, you must really hate my guts. Well, you know what? It's okay.
Look, Stephen, maybe we can talk about this some other
Okay, so you don't like me. You don't like everything I've done. What, because I wasn't such a genius the way I raised you? Jesus Christ, dad was gone, what was I supposed to do? You tell me, what the fuck was I supposed to do?!
It's okay, Stephen, I
I tried, y'know? Helen's right. I don't have all the answers, but goddamn it, I've got some. Look, you're gonna do what you have to, and maybe I shouldn't have gotten in the way. I'm your brother, not your father. Go on. You gotta go somewhere? Go...
I saw it.
Saw what?
When dad died, I saw another fire...
Everybody did.
I saw it before it got them. I tried to yell, but... He asked me to look out for him. And I didn't do it. I let him die.
...Jesus, you been carrying that around for twenty years? For christ's sake, you were seven years old! You think he could have heard you in there?
I hate him so much sometimes, Stephen. You don't know how hard it was for me to put that uniform on...
Maybe I do. ...What a fuckin' mess, huh? People can change Brian.
Sometimes right when you're looking at them.
Oh God, Stephen, what's going on with you?
I don't know, Brian... I don't know...
Stephen, wait a minute. I gotta talk to you. It's Adcox, he's
What are you doing here?
I saw Adcox's back! I saw the burn! I put it there! Jesus Christ, Stephen, he's been killing people!
I know.
How do you know?
I knew when you came looking for the chemicals. Looking for me.
What were they doing there?
They were for the fucking boat, Brian.
Anything else?
What are we going to do about this?
I'll handle it.
We gotta go to Rimgale, Stephen.
I'm his Lt. He's my responsibility. I'll handle it. Me.
You're his Lt., Stephen... Are you gonna handle it? Are you Stephen?
Shut up!
You crazy son of a bitch, why couldn't you stay behind a desk where you belong?
"You never know till the fire stares you down if you're gonna be "
Oh shut up, huh? I think I broke my goddamn arm...
Don't tell them about Adcox... Don't let 'em...
I'm sorry... I'm sorry I thought... I won't.
Hey, baby McCaffrey. First one's the clincher. You did okay.
My Lt. might have something to say about that.
Ah, everybody screws up some, Brian. You're working for the toughest Lt. on the job. Saw him once pick up a probie he thought was moving too slow and throw him into a burning building. It's just bad luck you're family.
John, when you're in there... in the fire... do you ever see...
Is he...
He's alive.
Did you do it for Tim?
That was an accident! Jesus Christ, why did you have to go in there so fucking early? Why didn't you listen to me!
You gotta let me finish
Just come down, John. Just
Shut up! Your dad would fucking puke if he saw how you've shit on his department!
He killed people
You know what Swayzak would do to the department if this got out?
Stephen, this is bullshit
What he would do to your dad's department? You gotta let me finish it
Oh these moments do try me...
Be gentle.
Wash it to the windows?
No, we'll hit the son of a bitch head on.
It's gonna flash, Stevie. We gotta get behind it.
Nah, listen to it. It's a pussy. It'll just steam on us. It won't flash. Go high in the ceiling.
That's Franny. She likes firemen.
Tim, fill out the alarm card. Clean the pipe poles, wipe down the ladders and hang some hose.
Goddamn it, Stephen, lay off! You stupid dumbshit, you never know when to fucking quit, do you? You ever wonder why your career's in the fucking toilet? Why you're gonna be stuck a Lt. for life?
No. I need a drink.
You know Knowlton pretty well?
Yeah...
Kind of an asshole, wasn't he?
Biggest in two battalions.
We're gonna be okay, man...
Adcox, go with Pengelly and check the other side.
It isn't safe, man. Don't go splittin' us up. Not with this one.
What the hell's the matter with you? You always check the other side. I haven't got time for bullshit right now, okay? We got a job here.
Let me take the lead, Stephen...
Goddamn it Adcox! Just do your fucking job!
Aw man, Stephen, listen to me...
What the fuck were you thinking, huh? Burning people? You're a fireman.
They were killing firemen, man. When Sally showed me what was in Swayzak's files... They were my friends, I had to do it. I had to do it for the department.
Knock it off!
You can't let him turn you against your friends, man
...What do you want me to do, Stephen? Talk to me. What am I supposed to do?
There's a fire. We've got a job here. Let's get on with it.
You stupid son of a bitch! What the fuck are you doing!
Stevie... I...
How the hell are we supposed to get this donkey inside?
I don't know.
What? I thought you told me you had it all figured out.
