Rescue Me "Bravery".avi

[@damarcomusik639]

Leary was robbed of an emmy for at least one year of this series...one of the best shows ever

[@V-max97]

Too many jokes about Hollywood elites. He definitely got railroaded.

[@speedyspooley]

The Cold Storage Fire that Tommy talks about in this scene is the Worcester Cold Storage Fire that happened in 1999 in Worcester MA. 6 men from the Worcester FD died that night...one of them was Denis Leary's cousin...Jerry Lucey.

[@ironeagle22a]

Many of the sons are now on the job in Worcester. Including Jerry Lucey 3rd

[@jeffculbertson2077]

Your goddam right

[@GregFeeney392]

Jack Mcgee who played the chief. Was born in the Bronx

[@SharksRule86]

Leary is at his best when he's pissed.

[@kingbrenty]

the only time this series paid the appropriate respect to Jerry

[@Firefighter2539]

Leary nailed it in this scene. Even in ways far beyond the series…

[@mattromeo2487]

Fun fact for those who don’t know. The actor that plays jerry real name is Jack Mcgee. And he was a real fireman on in the Bronx in the 60’s and 70’s

[@blackhawks81H]

He was also the engineer in the movie backdraft.

For me one of the best shows ever.. especially first couple of seasons.. greetings from Croatia

[@Ruckel2008]

im not all the way through the series yet, but this is the most powerful scene i've ever watched on any movie or tv show.

[@oneprizeonegoal]

Brilliant scene. I love Leary he's so intense

[@woodyburns]

Essentially calls Jerry a coward when he agrees with Franco, goes on to defend Jerry, fiercely.....

[@mikeyscott3378]

Tommy knew him way better then Garrity

[@MetalHeadGrace]

I think Tommy felt that suicide was cowardly but Sean didn’t fully understand why someone would do that and was essentially calling Jerry a straight up coward in general. Even though Tommy felt suicide was cowardly he knew Jerry was anything but a coward and it pissed him off that anyone on the crew would think of Jerry as such

[@jdmifsud14]

its interesting how a lot of what goes on in the show actually happened to the actual actors. Tommy's Dad: that actor was a soldier in the US Army with the 3rd Army. The Actor who portrays Jerry: he was a fire fighter with the FDNY in the late 70s.

[@specialk9424]

Charles Durning was Tommy's dad. And not only was he with the 3rd Army, under Patton, no less, but he was also in D-Day.

[@woodyburns]

You’d be surprised where some actors and actresses come from sometimes. Gal Gadot was in a branch of the Israeli services, Adam Driver was a Marine, Morgan Freeman was in the Air Force, etc

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Jack McGee was a firefighter?

[@pontiacGXPfan]

@@woodyburns i know huh. Scott Glenn from the movie Backdraft was a Marine. Mark Harmon from NCIS was a football player at UCLA.

Dennis Franz from NYPD Blue, "He served eleven months with the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam." Al Matthews as Sgt. Apone in Aliens, was a Vietnam Vet too.

[@pevvyndrake]

This show deserves so much

[@tacobell10688]

Only comment? wow...best show ever... one of the best scenes.

[@Phil-wn7zz]

Before this show jumped the shark it was amazing absolutely brilliant

[@kamsandwich6990]

When I was growing up with my dad in firehouses, they weren’t called jobs, they’re called calls. A job is a burden, they’re called to help.

[@thisissparta789789]

In quite a few larger Northeast cities, the term “job” was/is used for working fires, e.g. “jobtown”

[@tonyweaver2353]

Leary is right he was afraid of that fucking desk. Excuse? No sir let me tell you why, view above.

[@FoulWeatherFriend385]

“Man Alive: The Bronx is Burning” is an incredible documentary from the early 70s that follows Engine 82 as they do what Tommy talks about here. He’s not exaggerating when he says they’d catch over 10 jobs a shift.

[@13thCharacter]

yep. That's the clip I was looking for.

[@Balboni25]

Well said

[@Onigirli]

I hope people who dropped the show when it dragged in the middle came back for the last season. It was excellent

[@johnochiltree1170]

Was that cold storage fire a reference to the Worcester fire? I mean, being from Worcester I’m sure he’s aware of that tragedy.

[@pcgentile]

I should say so...one of the firefighters who died that day was Leary's cousin.

[@johnochiltree1170]

[@dougpowers2]

His brother was killed in the fire. I'd say he was very aware of it.

[@mo58487]

they don't make ensemble dramas like this anymore. Closest might be "The Bear" right now. Denis Leary is v. full of himself and this show was flawed/a little goofy...but man, I loved this cast. John Scurti really did deserve a supporting actor Emmy too.

[@listrahtes]

yeah sadly Learys ego not only brought quality to the show but was also its downfall . He was the one kicking "Jerry" of the show for envy and made more and more about his character and just overloaded him with drama to the point it just got dumb and stupid.

[@mrgone19871]

what does leary say at 2:44?

[@pcgentile]

"Maybe, working up in the Bronx, he used up all the goddamn brave he had."
