Got yourself a hot one first time out, kid.

[Horn Blast, Siren]

Oh, yeah, this is gonna taste like sh*t.

- All right, let's go!

- Sh*t!

I hate it when we gotta f***ing go look for it.

Call in a box, Otis. We're gonna need some back-up.

Brian, inch-and-a-half.

Get the high-rise jet.

- These moments do try me.

- Be gentle now, Axe.

[Car Alarm]

Holy sh*t!

Coming through!

Heh, Probie, how about it, huh?

Yo!

- You ready?

- Yeah.

You're doin' it wrong.

Stay beside me. I mean, right beside me.

Come on, man. Kick it in.

Show time!

Got it!

- Let's take it from the side.

- No, let's hit it head-on!

It's gonna flash on us, Bull. We gotta back out!

She'll steam on us a little, but she won't flash.

Here comes your water.

Here it comes!

All right, let's go for the throat!

Hey, Nightengale! Save your f***ing air, man.

Pull down that wall!

I gotta ventilate this heat.

All right, hook us up to a standpipe!

Come on, Brian!

Sh*t!

It's in the walls!

- How about it, Probie?

- Coming!

Come on, Brian. We're going to lose this!

Sh*t!

Charge it!

- Hey, Otis is it--

- [Otis] It's jumpin' floors.

Where's the second-in companies, huh?

Sorry, man, John Wayne time. You're on your own, boss.

- No back-up.

- Sh*t!

Dig in.

- Dig in, goddamn it!

- All right, come on!

What the hell's goin' on? What was that, goddamn it?

Slow down, it's jumpin' floors to us.

Relax, put your mask on. It's gonna be the real deal.

Down!

Cover up, Lieutenant!

Jesus Christ!

I'm burning up!

Put him out!

Bull!

All right, go get it!

Hey!

Sorry, kid. I thought you were dead.

We got it. Let's go!

Oh, sh*t!

Man down!

Look out!

I'm going!

You go, we go!

Come on!

Pull!

Brian, let's go!

Hey, Stephen!

The chief thinks we got one left behind downstairs, a civilian.

Axe!

Take--

[Stephen] Down to two probies, perfect!

- Take Tim and do a search!

- Let's go, kid!

- Stay with him.

- Okay, I will.

Come on. Let's move it, Brian. Stay on this line.

Ow! You son-of-a-b*tch!

More line!

Sh*t!

Help!

Stephen! Over here!

Someone's over here!

Help!

Where's my brother?

I don't know. I ain't seen him, Bull.

Is anybody in here?

My God!

I got one!

I got one!

I got one!

Somebody, give me a hand!

[Coughing]

Is she going to be all right?

I'm afraid you're a little too late with this one.

[Laughter]

Sorry to hear about the mannequin.

I heard you two were close.

You all right?

You didn't get burned, did you?

Look, I'm a little busy right now.

You've got an awful short memory for direct orders.

- I told you to stay beside me.

- I heard somebody call.

What was that bullshit with the standpipe?

The cap was stuck!

I told you to stay right be-f***ing-side me, Brian!
