Ladder 49 Page #2

Uh... So, the captain...

He's a great guy.

Uh, right down here.

You can use this one.

- This one?

- Yeah.

- You Catholic?

- Yeah.

Most of the guys are.

Uh, we have a thing here.

A priest comes around twice a year.

We all go to confession.

In this job, you need it.

I mean, you get enough fires, you find God.

Yeah.

A good confession now, son.

"Bless me, Father... "

Uh, bless me, Father, for I have sinned.

It's been, uh...

...seven years since my last confession.

- Seven years is a long time.

- Yes, Father.

All right, where do we start?

Theft? Robbery?

Fraud? Taxes?

Well, you know.

Taxes? Always taxes.

How 'bout sex?

Impure thoughts?

Well, yes, quite a bit.

Try to cut back.

- Are you married?

- No.

- Are you a virgin?

- No, Father.

Oh, you think it's funny to

fornicate with loose women?

What? Wait a minute.

No, you wait a minute.

You come across any more loose women,

you let me know.

- Tommy Drake.

- Jack Morrison.

- Hey, man. Don Miller.

- Good to meet you.

- Dennis Gauquin.

- Hey.

My older and, as you

can see, uglier brother.

- Frank McKinney.

- Father.

Lenny Richter. Father Lenny Richter.

- Pleasure to meet you.

- Good sport.

Cap.

You think we'll get

something today or what?

I don't know, kid.

I think you put a hex on us.

Uh, did you report a fire, ma'am?

I burned some bread

in the oven, that's all.

Oh, well,

can we come in and check, please?

You put one foot in here,

this dog'll tear your ass off.

Get in there, probie.

Come here.

Yeah?

What the hell's this?

- What?

- Are you stupid?

- There's no paper.

- Yeah, it's right there.

It's not on the holder.

Why don't you use your hand?

You're used to it.

Hey, who asked your opinion?

Get outta the bathroom.

Oh, God...! Goddamn it.

All right, who's the wise guy?

All right.

Interrupting my sh...

Goddamn it!

All right, somebody's gonna pay for this!

We got one, rook!

Come on, come on!

About three more blocks.

Right after North Avenue.

All right, Cap.

Move out of the way, a**hole!

How you feelin', kid?

It's your first fire.

Are you ready to break your cherry?

- That one. Grab that plug!

- Got you, Cap.

Three-storey brick building.

Flames showing second and third floor.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go, go, go!

Your helmet!

Slow down. Slow down.

You're getting tangled up.

Let it go, let it go.

Single line, single line.

Come on. Let it go.

All right, there you go.

Go in low.

All right, stop here.

Stop, stop.

Charge the line!

Charge it!

All right.

Go! Go!

Over the side!

Slow down!

Slow... Slow down!

Whoa. Whoa.

- Huh?

- Go!

Keep goin'!

- Jesus Christ!

- They're just rats.

- Come on, let's go.
