MAN: Previously on, Rescue Me

You must be the new probie, eh?

Sean.

He doesn't cook, he doesn't clean.

He doesn't scrub, he doesn't shine.

He doesn't get his balls busted.

-What does he do? -He plays hoops.

Oh! Oh!

Is this Tommy's remote control?

Is this his sunglasses?

| just wanted to, you know,

a little something of his

just wanted a little piece of Tommy for myself.

Hey, Franco, it's Alicia.

Call me, baby.

So what?

So, go see her.

-What? -Go see, Alicia.

You say, your absolutely sure I'm all you want.

So, go see her.

-| want you to give me that, baby. -(Scoofs)

-You're crazy. -No, no, | hate it when you call me crazy

Just listen to me. | love this baby.

And that baby loves me.

I'll tell you what you should be sorry about

Give me that bullshit story about

how | couldn't get it up the night of the fire.

So you can get your hands on the insurance money.

And now you are gonna use that insurance money to try and buy my...

My son, or my brother's son or whatever the hell he is. Uh?

I'm sorry that it sounds so cold.

But Jesus Christ, he doesn't even have a name yet.

Okay, where are the batteries?

| thought we were supposed to be having a break from the sex, okay.

Getting to know each other.

It has taken me 35 years to start having sex.

Thirty five years okay?

Don't make me feel dirty for having an appetite.

Most guys you know they would kill to be in your shoes.

Oh! Ooo!

Gary, are you okay?

Just get out of my house.

Dude, this is a complete misunderstanding.

| understand completely.

You screwed the woman | loved.

Well, | snuck into Mike's mom's house like you told me to.

| found what he was hiding.

Gay parents.

Found these pictures in the back of the closet.

They actually eh...

When | was over there | also

Um, set his mom's house on fire.

[SIRENS BLARING]

We caught a live one.

Two floors involved, third and fourth about to happen.

Saddle up, boys.

All right, probie, | hope you’re ready for this.

You're not supposed to call me probie.

Hey, | call you what you are, asshole, all right?

You jump off the rig,

you get on my ass and you stay there.

Hang on for dear goddamn life.

[TRUCK HORN HONKS]

[SIRENS WAILING]

REILLY: All right, hold on. Hold on.

All right, 62 is here.

Sixty-two. Sixty-two.

Yeah, what do we got?

Seven-one Truck is up there.

What? Big 71 is parking up.

Got it. Nils, get the ladder. Come on, let’s roll.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

What the hell is going on?

LOU: Oh, Jesus Christ! Tom!

Jesus Christ.

Tommy, get the probie, get in the bucket.

Raise the ladder, Nils. Let’s go.

Nils, get that fucking bucket closer.

That’s as close as it'll get.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER OVER RADIO]

Jesus.

| know.

Hey. You all right?

Yeah.

Nice work.

What’s wrong?

Hey, we-- We, uh...

Jesus.

LOU: They’re all burned up, Tom.

Well, we just-- They must have--

They must’ve been dead before you got there.

No, man, we got them in the bucket.

We had to go back and get the mom.

Tommy, we thought we had three, at least.

We did all we can, man.

Seven?

Seven.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, well, where the hell is he right now?

You got it?

| can handle it.

There were seven in there.

Tom, we did everything we could.

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, here’s what I’m gonna say.

You know, a lot of us, me included,

we say that the heroes are the guys

that don’t make it back to the house.

Well, tonight, you're my goddamn heroes.

That was a ball-buster,

and every one of you did what you were supposed to do,

including the new guy.

I’m goddamn proud to be working with a crew like this.

Any minute now, that alarm’s gonna go

and we will have to make a run

because some fat broad got her big ass stuck in a tub,

or some asshole went off the rails on the West Side Highway.

He’s all banged up but he’s still alive

because he’s high as a goddamn kite.

And we are gonna answer those calls

the same way we answered this one tonight.

Balls to the wall, gentlemen.

Anybody needs me, I’m gonna be in my office.

Call my wife and kids,

and I’m gonna have a nice big mug of Jack Daniels.

Kid. Yeah.

Good job tonight.

Not just the save on that kid, but...

You know.

Pulling me in when | was going off the side.

That was good.

Thanks, bro. Thanks.

[GROANS]

[BEEPS]

I’m sick of macaroni and cheese.

[PHONE RINGS] Well, eat it anyway.

Where’s the phone?

How the hell should | know?

Hey. Watch your mouth, young lady.

Hello?

Hey.

How you doing?

How am | doing?

Hey.

Go back there, sit back there,

and finish your food. | don’t want it!

And keep your voice down.

Get back here.

Oh, goddamn it, Kathleen Marie Gavin,

get your ass back to this table.

What do you want?

I’m just, uh, calling, checking in.

See how, you know,

making sure you guys are okay. Yeah.

We’re all right. What gives?

Nothing, honey, | just...

What, you called to say nothing?

|-- | called because | was just thinking of you guys and...

What?

All right, so Katy’s ina bad mood?

Yeah.

She’s not near the baby, is she?

Oh, Jesus, no.

Thank God, he’s fast asleep.

How?

What do you mean how?

Benadryl.

What?

Well, | didn’t say anything.

Yeah, you didn’t have to.

Look, just remember that Katy and |

are going to that truck show tomorrow night.

Yeah, | got it. Yeah.

Mm-hm. And Colleen called, by the way.

She needs more money.

Okay. Um...

Okay?

That's all that you have to say?

Well, I’ll-- I'll go over there and, you know--

Yeah, you’re gonna call her

and end up forking over another 400 bucks or so

that we can’t afford,

to buy her some jeans or a new chair or whatever

to try to get her to stay in contact with you.

Honey. Hello?

What?

| gotta go.

Hey.

Hate to say | told you so, but told you so.

What?

Hey.

[SIGHS]

MAN [OVER TV]: In other news, it’s been confirmed now

that a total of seven children and one female adult have died

in what has become known

as the baby fire.

Last night... Come on, guys.

Hey. Yo.

The mom died last night.

What? Yeah.

She was fine when we left.

Yeah, her heart gave out at the hospital.

Read them and weep, guys.

Needles won’t be up today.

| sent him back over to his family.

Jesus Christ.

It was a mess, chief.

One of the worst | ever saw.

Papers say it was a space heater.

First floor, the curtains went up

and the mother runs out of the apartment

to warn the neighbors. She leaves the door open.

The fire follows her right up.

Up the stairs like a goddamn chimney.

| talked to Eddie and he’s over there right now.

He says the goddamn staircase is alligatored.

It didn’t stand a chance.

Oh shit, sorry, guys.

[ZIPPER ZIPS]

Sorry.

Hey, guys.

Hey. Hey.

The mom died, Garrity.

You're kidding.

It's a sin.

Shit.

Oh, boy.

Well, all that shit | said to you last night?

About what a kick-ass job | did?

Yeah, you did.

| heard he was as cool as a cucumber.

He was, man. | was.

Except for that part where you disappeared.

Scared the shit out of me.

Yeah, | know, | know.

Scared me too. |-- | couldn’t find her.

But, pretty much it’s everything,

everything you did last night.

The T.O. catch.

It’s that.

Me pulling you back in.

Yeah. And all that mess.

Straight goddamn A’s across the board.

But don’t start believing that that means

I’m not gonna continue to bust your balls around here.

| don’t like your political views,

your religious views,

or your general sort of, you know,

kiss-my-black-ass attitude.

Right back at you. FEINBURG: All right, enough.

Hey.

TROY: Hey.

Whatcha doing?

Taking down the Tommy pictures.

Oh.

The shrine?

The shrine. Yeah.

That’s funny, by the way.

Oh, yeah, well, does, uh--?

Does that mean that you want me to come over?

Because I’m all fresh.

No. No.

Definitely not.

Well, then, why are you taking down the pictures?

Because he sucks.

Did you see the paper this morning?

No.

Seven kids died in a fire

that Tommy and his crew were at last night.

Seven.

Not one kid made it out alive.

And here | am thinking he’s a hero.

Asshole.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

Listen-- You know what?

Just don’t call me any more.

[DIAL TONE]

Come on. Come on.

That's it. That's it.

That's it.

Yeah. Whoo!

Come on, Franco, that’s it. Let’s go.

Yes! [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]

Come on over here.

Come on, move it.

Come on, yeah.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

Hey, you. Mike. Eyes front.

Come on, put it up there. Put it up there.

Yeah.

BOTH: Yeah.

Yes.

Time out. [WHISTLE BLOWS]

Come on.

All right, bring it around, boys, bring it around.

Jesus, kid, you're a goddamn gold mine.

Yeah. Way to go.

Amazing, man. Keep it up.

All right, you guys get some drinks and stuff, okay?

Told you to guard their man. What are you doing?

You guys aren’t doing anything right, | mean...

Maybe we should, uh...

Maybe we should have a, uh--

Huddle.

Yeah, a huddle. A huddle.

Definitely we need a huddle.

We need that.

Our uniforms are great.

They’re awesome. They’re awesome.

Good. Okay, guys, let’s huddle up.

All right, uh--

Uh, | got nothing to say because you guys are playing

like the goddamn Celtics out there.

It’s just amazing.

| mean-- The Larry Bird 1980s championship Celtics, okay?

| mean, | got no notes, you know?

So, what | think we should do,

just to make things look better

is I’m gonna draw a giant vagina on this little board here.

While I’m doing that, you guys make it look like I’m drawing,

like, some strategy thing, okay?

Instead of the giant kind of vagina that I’m drawing.

Yeah, which really is the point of all this.

| mean, the reason why, you know, you play sports

is to-- Is to meet girls. So, what | want you to do

is look at this giant black-and-white vagina

that I’m drawing here. But | want you to go out

and | want score another 55 points

and we can all get laid

and we can all make more money, okay?

So on 3, vagina.

One, two, three.

ALL: Vagina!

Yes. Let’s go.

[INAUDIBLE]

Excuse me, guys. Sure.

Hey.

Great game.

Yeah. Yeah. The new kid’s a charm.

So did you see me up there? You know...

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, | did and, um, | can’t.

| can’t do this any more.

Yeah, | Know, me neither. It’s so drafty up there.

No, not that. | mean that, you know, | can--

| can do all day or most of the day, actually.

At some point I’d probably have to climb up

and take a closer look.

Um, I’m talking about us.

You know, I-- |, um,

| just think that we're, you know, done.

Uh, unless--

Listen, I’m sorry, you know, about what happened.

But | can’t really apologize more than that.

| made a mistake.

You know, now I’m ready to move forward.

Quickly.

You know, very forward, very fast.

Yeah, look, Theresa, okay?

It’s just that, you know,

l’ve come to this realization

after four and half decades

on this godforsaken, chocolate-filled planet

that, you know, | want a kid.

You know? Kids.

A couple, maybe.

Oh.

Now, was that kind of a, "Oh, me too, | want kids"

kind of an "Oh"?

No. No. | taught kids for 10 years.

Ten long, loud, B.O.-filled years.

And | just-- | don’t really like kids.

| hate kids.

They’re just giant germ factories, really.

Oh.

That was sort of a death knell type of "Oh"--

Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, that’s what that was. [CLEARS THROAT]

That was-- Yeah.

Alrighty, then. Okay, so, uh,

I'll see you.

Yeah. Great.

Oh, wait, you know what, there’s just one more thing.

I’m gonna need to get my handcuffs, and my whip,

and my leather lingerie back.

Also the box of edible panties would be great.

I, um...

| ate all the edible panties.

You ate the panties.

Chocolate flavored?

Yeah, and, um, vanilla and strawberry.

We had a, you know, Neapolitan thing going.

FRANCO: Amen.

Yeah.

Ah.

[SPEAKS SPANISH] Daddy.

Oh, my God, look at you.

You're so big.

| grew. You sure did.

| mean, my gosh, you-- You're all grown up.

Are you married? You got kids or what?

Mommy says | shouldn’t get married until I’m 30.

She says | have to figure out my own life and my own power

before | can be with somebody else.

Your own power, huh?

Well, Mommy’s very smart.

Honey, why don’t you change into your, uh,

other clothes, your play clothes,

and Daddy’s gonna take you for some ice cream.

Okay. And ask Donald

where the puppy’s leash is and then you can

her with you too, okay? Don’t leave without me.

No, I’m not gonna do that, baby.

My God, she’s grown a foot. | know!

| know, well, not quite, but give her another few weeks.

You should see how much she eats, it’s staggering.

Yeah.

Well, you’re looking good.

So do you. You look good too.

Thanks.

So you’re-- You're back.

Yep.

Well, how long do you plan on staying?

Uh, permanently, possibly.

|-- | thought you liked Europe.

| love Europe.

And, | mean, it was even more wonderful

seeing it through her eyes.

She’s so smart and joyful

and, uh, curious. Yeah, we had a blast.

| made some, uh, scrapbooks with her

of all the different cities we've been in.

Mm-hm.

This one is, uh, from Venice.

Venice? | think that was one of our

favorite places.

Uh, yep, see.

Wow. Here we are, you know?

Cool, huh? Yeah.

| still feel so bad. Her cheating on you...

with me.

That bitch.

Well, you know, it’s not the first time

she cheated on anyone.

So she’s done it before?

She was a nun when | met her, so technically, you know,

she was married to Jesus.

| guess that makes you the other man, huh?

That’s a mighty impressive takeaway on your part.

Yeah, well, real proud about that,

even if it means I’m taking the express train to hell.

Well, look, it was worth it, right?

No, not really.

But you know...

| mean, you’re family, Mike.

That’s what’s important. Family, you know.

That-- That unbreakable bond.

And I’m willing to forgive and forget.

Bros before hoes, right?

Bros before hoes.

Great. Now let’s get shitfaced and make it official.

One night we couldn’t sleep and, um, so we got up

and we started wandering around all the canals

and all the little, kind of, twisty back alleys

and, gosh, it was so quiet.

It was magical, really, and, uh,

as the sun was coming up and the fog burned away,

she turned to me and she said,

"You know, we should bring Daddy here sometime."

[LAUGHS] Oh.

[LAUGHS] It really pissed me off.

[SIGHS] Yeah.

She wants you in her life.

She needs you.

We need you.

So | was thinking maybe we should give it another go.

Um, |, um...

Alicia, I-- I-- | kinda-- | met someone.

A girl.

You met a girl?

No, you’re kidding. Not you. [BOTH LAUGH]

It’s, uh-- It’s serious.

What does that mean? Like, a week or something?

| gave her a ring.

So this is love.

| guess so.

| mean, yeah, um, totally. Yeah. It’s love.

So when’s the big day?

Well, we haven't gotten that far yet, but--

Well, she knows about Keela and-- And us?

Yeah. Yeah.

And you're happy.

Yeah.

So | guess you won’t be moving in here any time soon.

Uh, no. Just checking. Okay.

Wow. Um...

Well, I’m happy for you.

I’m really happy for you.

Thank you.

| guess we'll work something out.

Like, maybe on the-- Every other weekend or--

Except, of course, you’ve got a schedule problem sometimes.

But we could think about--

We don’t have to figure it out right now.

We've got, uh, time.

Yeah. We've got time.

Hey.

Hi. That was fast. [CHUCKLES]

Hi, I’m ready for ice cream. Let’s go.

Yeah, ice cream. Sounds good.

Right, all right.

| want Mommy to come.

| want you and Mommy and me to all be together.

Uh...

| think that maybe this is a time

for you to have a special time

with Daddy all to yourself.

Yeah. And, um-- Okay.

--l’m gonna stay here and have some Mommy time all to myself.

All right? Okay.

Okay. All right, let’s go.

And no ice cream for Penny.

Okay. Okay.

You guys have fun.

KEELA: Okay. All right, we’ll be back soon.

Yeah.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

So listen, bro. | got kind of a confession to make.

| Know why you're gay.

I’m not gay, dude.

Yes, you are.

Come on. And here’s why.

Your parents were gay.

What? Yeah, your parents are gay.

They’re homos, Mike. Come on.

How do you know about that? Well, ahem,

that’s the other part of the confession | was getting to.

Remember that big fire at your mom’s house

that burned the house down?

| broke in that night

and | rooted around in the closets

and | found all the pictures.

Well, never mind the pictures.

Did you see who burned my mom’s house down?

I’m sorry, dude, I’m really sorry.

You can hit me if you want.

Ow.

Ow! Asshole!

You said | could hit you.

I’m sorry. It was a reflex. |I--

Jesus, | feel terrible about your mom’s house, | do.

It was an accident, Mike. | swear to God.

So that’s why the guys are calling you Zippo.

Yeah. Yeah.

How pissed are you?

| don’t know.

You mean about the slap?

No, about the fire, asshole.

Oh I-- I’m not really that pissed, | guess, you know.

| mean, to be honest, | was-- That place was kind of like--

It had a lot of bad memories, you know?

And-- And-- And I’m kind of happy to be rid of it, | guess.

Wow.

Yeah. Okay.

But you know what? Yeah?

You're wrong about a few things.

I’m not gay, and having gay parents doesn’t make you gay.

Right, okay. Well, it’s gotta increase the chances

a little bit, don’t you think?

| don’t know. Maybe.

Bro, can-- Can you just do me a favor?

Of course, dude. Anything. You name it.

Promise? | promise.

Can you not tell the guys about my parents?

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, | wouldn't. | would never.

Thanks. That’s, yeah...

| mean, I-- | kind of already did.

You dick!

Ow! Sorry, | was--

What are you doing? | was anticipating.

| didn’t-- | can’t believe |--

You all right? Don’t touch me, asshole.

Come on, hey.

[PHONE RINGS]

Shit.

Yeah?

Hey, Dad.

Hey, what’s wrong?

Nothing.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Need some money?

| can’t believe that you would think

that | would be calling you-- Okay, you know what, sweetheart?

| raised you from when you were a zygote, okay?

You got my DNA, all right?

| can read you like a book.

| Know you're calling me about money

and | know you’re not calling me about, like, little money.

It must be the rent money, right?

Nobody calls about a goddamn blender at this time of night.

Yes.

Um, is your, uh, ring-nosed loser boyfriend,

kind of sitting there talking you through this call?

No. Uh-huh. All right.

[WHISPERS] What's he saying?

Tell you what, I'll drop the money by,

uh, later tonight, all right?

And tell your boyfriend he can stop.

Stop.

Thanks, Dad.

Okay, | love you.

Me too.

Yeah. Do you really love me

or is it just about the money?

What?

[PHONE BEEPS OFF]

MAN [OVER TV]: The letter tells all about you.

So you'd be foolish to fire that gun.

[DIALING]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Isn’t she wonderful?

Isn't she extravagant? [PHONE RINGS]

What?

How are you doing?

I’m having a personal trauma.

Ahem. What?

Me and Troy broke up for good.

Troy?

My valley.

Oh.

Because of the fire.

The fire?

The baby fire.

Jesus Christ, they’re calling it the baby fire?

Yeah, he even took down the Tommy Gavin shrine, so--

Oh. Wait a minute. Oh, that guy.

Yeah, | think that he was sleeping with me

to hang out with you.

And then he said you’re not even a hero anymore

because you let seven babies die in the fire

and then | just...

Okay, you-- It was a goddamn inferno, Sheila.

| know. It was unbelievable.

| Know. I’m just telling you what he said.

Are you there?

Yeah, I’m here. | mean, I’m telling you,

they were dropping kids out the windows

as we pulled up. | know.

You know? | know. | read about it.

[TOMMY SIGHS] Are you okay?

No.

Let me ask you something.

That, uh, plan that you offered up

about, you know, my kid.

Yeah?

That, uh, still stand?

Yes.

By all means, yes.

[SIGHS]

Tommy? What?

Are we gonna--? Are we gonna do this?

Nah. No. No, | can’t do it. |-- I'll talk to you later.

Shit.

Come on, pal.

Come on. Oh, yeah. All right.

[SIGHS]

We all set?

Here we go.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

MICK: Hey, it’s Mick.

Hey, what’s going on?

| got a call from Maggie.

| got a feeling her drinking’s

completely out of control.

She said she’s in Montreal.

Canada?

Yeah. She thought she was in Paris at first.

Then | get a call from Uncle Teddy’s wife

saying he needs help.

Listen, | got an idea how to help them,

but | want to run it by you.

Maybe | drop by in the next couple of days.

Yeah.

So, um, how you been doing, drinkingwise?

You making any meetings?

No, I’ve been busy with the baby

and |’m mostly going off the little black book.

The 24-hours-a-day book.

Yeah, well, the black book only goes so far.

Well, it's working for me, pal.

Well, you’re sure you're good, huh?

So you saw the, uh-- The baby fire in the news.

Jesus Christ.

The baby fire. You know what--

They’re still calling it the baby fire, | guess.

Why don’t they call it the, you know,

16-appliances- plugged-into- one-wall-socket fire?

How about that, hun?

Yeah, | know, Tom. I’m just saying what they're saying.

Or how about the God-doesn’t-really-give-a-shit-

about-poor-black-kids fire? How about that name?

Tom. It’s unbelievable to me, man.

It really is. What was God thinking here, Mick?

What did he have in mind?

We don’t know, you know?

Maybe he was showing his mercy.

Maybe he was saving these kids

from a fate far worse down the line somewhere.

Either way, it’s out of our hands.

Let me tell you something, okay?

We carried those goddamn kids out in our goddamn hands, okay?

Because their moron parents plugged in faulty space heaters

because they were trying to keep warm

because their shit-ass landlords were too cheap

to keep the goddamn heat on.

God had nothing to do with it.

God doesn’t even enter into the equation, okay?

According to your theory, | guess God had Connor run over

by a drunk driver. Why?

To spare him the fate of maybe having cancer of the ass

when he was 42 years old? Is that what’s going on Mick? Huh?

Or maybe because of his DNA he becomes a raging alcoholic,

gets behind the wheel with a load on

and runs over somebody else’s innocent kid

15 years from now.

Maybe that’s what’s happening.

Did you ever think of that?

Huh? Tom?

Yeah.

Tommy.

Nobody knows nothing, Mick.

Not until it happens.

You're wrong.

Everything happens for a reason.

Yeah?

Yeah.

All right.

[CAR DOOR SLAMS]

You got no choice here, Tommy.

Janet, she don’t want him.

You give him to Sheila,

and Janet’s just gonna take him back out of spite,

and then what do you got?

You got a mother raising a kid

day by day, little by little,

inch by inch filling that kid up with a lack of love.

Adoption? No way.

| don’t want my kid being raised by no stranger.

You know what I’m saying?

And me, I’m not gonna be around.

And you sure as shit ain’t gonna be able

to get over your hatred for me

for what | done enough to be a-- A go-to type of dad, you know?

I’m telling you, this kid, you and | both know

that he’s got a life of misery coming at him.

Full of lawyers and self-loathing,

absentee dads.

Put him out of his misery, Tommy.

Drop him in the river.

It’s the right thing to do.

Do it.

Do it for me.
