It's over there.
Can you see me?
Stay down! Stay down! We're comin' to get you!
- I got this. - I'll try not to drop you.
You're not afraid of heights, are you, Jack?
All right, let's gear up.
Number ten this side, hold your position.
Hold your position. Do not attempt.
Here, grab this.
All right. Check your rigs.
Put that around your leg.
Take your time. Do your buckles.
All right, tighten that.
- You got it? - Hey, Lenny, grab the rope.
It's comin'. Here's your end.
Thanks.
Help!
All right, I got it goin' through. You're cinched.
- Make sure that's tight. - You cool with this?
Yeah.
Stay down!
You ready?
All right, hold on, Jack.
Ladder 49 to Command. We got a man comin' over the top.
All right, Tommy, nice and easy.
Oh, God, it's hot!
Try not to look down, Jack.
Thanks, Lenny.
You got it, man.
Lenny! All right, give me a foot.
Nice and easy, guys. No race.
All right, Tommy, let it down.
All right, hold on, Jack.
- How much further? - About 25 feet.
25 feet, Tommy.
Oh, God! Oh!
We got you, Jack. You're good.
Come on. Down!
Keep it comin'.
Uh, yeah, Bob, we're on the scene in chopper seven.
Hey! Hey! I'm here!
Down! Down!
You almost there?
About 15 feet!
Hey! Hey, I'm here!
I'm coming for you. Just wait!
Down!
All right, keep it comin'!
Almost!
We've got a burning building
in downtown on Calvert Street.
A lot of flames, a lot of smoke.
I'm right here!
Down! Down a few more feet!
No, wait! Wait!
You stay there, all right? Wait. Wait till I'm set!
Just wait till I'm set.
OK, stop! Stop!
All right, ho, ho, ho, ho!
Your eyes start to burn and the heat from the flames...
Get over!
Just wait! Just wait!
Hold it, Tommy! Hold it!
Oh, there they go!
Calm down! Calm down!
- Calm down or you'll kill us! - Oh, God.
I swear to God I'll drop you.
- Oh, God. Oh, God. - Close your eyes.
Close your eyes. Put your head against me.
- OK, OK. - All right?
I'm gonna push off this window.
It's gonna be OK. You just stay calm, OK?
- I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - Stay calm.
Agh, jeez! Jeez! Oh, God.
Oh, he shatters the glass!
They're inside now. We're gonna try and get this guy's name.
Let's go, come on!
- Oh, God. - You got him?
Is he in?
Give him some slack.
He's in.
Let's get in closer, Jerry.
See if we can get in closer for a look.
He's off-line.
Hon?
Whoa, hey.
Hello.
- Hey, baby. - How was your shift?
Hi, baby. It was great.
Been drinking?
Yes, I had a few drinks with the boys.
What's the matter?
I saw you on the news, Jack.
Linda, what is wrong?
I saw you on the news, Jack. Dangling from a rope!
How could you tell me that it's not dangerous?
- I didn't say it wasn't dangerous. - When we talked about it,
I asked you, and you said it wasn't dangerous.
I said it wasn't any more dangerous than being on the engine.
I never said it wasn't dangerous.
Do you see me right now? Do you?
Cos this isn't just about us.
Have you thought about that?
Don't.
- I'm sorry. - I'm scared.
I can't sleep. I keep having that dream
about the red car turning up in front of the house when you don't come home.
- I'm sorry. - Don't.
I saved that man today.
- Did I miss it? - They just took her to the delivery room.
- Is she OK? - She's fine.
Aah! Aah!
Hey, Chief.
Yeah, Jack, go ahead.
Chief, it's getting pretty unstable in here.
I got all sorts of shit falling down around me.
I understand. Now, Jack, listen up.
OK.
Can you identify anything around you?
There's a sliding access door to my left.
But I can't get to it. There's too much debris.
Chief, the problem is every floor eight through eleven are identical.
Well, look, if the collapse happened here, and he's anywhere near this control room,
if we can get him in here, it could buy us some time.
My best guess is that he's right about here in this area.
And if he can break through this wall and get into the control room...
Right, right. And if my guys can get through the debris,
they can meet here, and go down the back stairwell.
Might work, Chief.
OK, now, look, Jack, this is very important.
Right behind you there's a wall. Behind that wall is a control room. OK?
If we can break through that wall, we can buy some time.
Can you do that?
I'll give it a shot.
Where do you need us, Chief?
I need two men up there on eight, helping Ladder 17.
And I need a two-and-a-half-inch supply line right now up on eight.
- Go. - Copy that, Chief.
Ladder 49, I need a situation report.
The progress is that we're working on it, Chief.
I need another blade!
Sir, there's no way to tell. It's tough.
All hands are working. Just keep at it.
Copy. Go.
- Just give me another saw. - We need a saw!
Get me a saw!
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Katie
Happy birthday to you
Gotta make a wish first.
I wish for a Barbie car.
No, you're not supposed to say it out loud.
But won't I get it now?
Blow out the candles, baby. We'll open your presents in a minute.
Yay, Katie!
Happy birthday.
Sorry I'm late.
This is for the birthday girl. This is for Nicky.
You shouldn't have.
- I didn't want him to be jealous, you know. - Thank you.
Hey, happy birthday.
What? You want a hot dog?
You want a burger, no?
Dog-pile on Daddy.
Cute.
- Very cute. - Cute?
You know what I love about this place?
Sitting here at night, watching the romantic lights of the oil refineries.
Beauty and the Beast is a hell of a book.
It's good. I haven't read it before. Put the kids to sleep.
- Good night. - You ever consider baby-sitting full time?
What do you think I do at the firehouse?
- Good night. - Good night.
- Night, Mike. Thanks. - You're welcome.
I think we're alone now.
- You all right with that? - Yep.
Hon, shouldn't you have left by now?
Yeah, I can't find my keys. You seen 'em?
Yeah, they're by the door, where you left them.
Where I left them? I left them there?
- Oh, hey, Dad? - Yeah.
Can we take PJ to the game on Saturday?
Game on Saturday? Yeah, definitely.
If it's OK with his parents, yeah.
Did you forget?
No, the guys planned a fishing trip.
- I completely forgot. - I'll take him.
No, no, I want to. It's fine.
- What is it? - It's a tree.
Yeah, it is a tree, isn't it? It's pretty.
You want to put it up on the fridge?
Show it to your mama. Love you guys.
- See ya tomorrow. - Bye, hon.
- All right, buddy, I'm off. - OK.
- What's the matter? Need tightening? - Yeah, I think so.
All right, well, I'll take a look at it when I get back from work.
Engine 33, Engine 13,
Truck 49, Truck 16, Battalion Chief six,
respond to box alarm 33-4 for alarm bell sounding
at the BG & E Power Plant on Broening Highway.
Units on box alarm 33-4, alarm system is active,
with possible steam leaks and pipe ruptures.
Units are to exercise extreme caution.
They say the parents got to dress up. I'm not gonna do it like last year,
where I go looking like a fool, cos you got nothin' on.
- Are you dressin' up? - What do you think?
Yeah, you better.
That can't be good.
Tommy, check out downstairs.
All right.
OK, let's go. Come on. Come on, let's go!
Cap, let's find Tommy and get the hell outta here.
Hey! Over here! I'm coming!
- Tommy! - Hey, Jack.
- Did you find anyone? - No, nobody.
Let's get the hell outta here.
Tommy!
Come on, let's go! Let's go!
You're going in the chopper, Tommy. Taking you to Gilford.
We got you, partner. You're gonna be all right.
Tommy, we're puttin' you on the chopper and taking you to Gilford!
Oh, shit.
OK, let's go!
OK, back off, guys.
- How were they? - Angels.
What's wrong?
I hurt myself at work.
You OK?
Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go to bed.
We'll be up in a second.
Come on, Nicky. Head upstairs and brush your teeth.
Hey, Nick, did you brush your teeth?
What's going on? You OK?
No fever. You got a little tummy ache?
- Hey, Dad? - Yeah.
Does steam really melt your face away?
- Who told you that? - Joey Costo.
He said that Alex's dad's face melted away cos of steam.
Uh, yeah, well, steam can burn your skin.
But new skin grows back in its place.
Tommy's face got burned, but his skin will grow back.
Does it hurt?
Yeah, when it happens.
I don't want you getting hurt any more, Dad.
Well, we're trained not to get hurt, Nick.
And long before you were even born, I was trainin'.
But, uh, you know, sometimes things do go wrong,
Iike with me and Alex's dad.
But, you know, we're not afraid, because we do it to save people.
You know, it's worth it to save people, isn't it?
- Yeah. - And you know, if things do go wrong,
I got your uncle Mike and all my friends at the firehouse.
You know they'd never let anything happen to me.
Yeah.
- Can you do me a favour? - Mm-hmm.
You tell Joey Costo that Alex's dad got burned trying to save people
and that he's gonna be OK.
Will you do that for me?
- Hi. Can I help you? - Yeah, Tommy Drake's room.
Room five, right down there.
You're not gonna go in?
There was a nurse inside, and I thought maybe I oughta come back another time.
No, it's fine. You can go in now. She's almost done with his dressing.
Oh, excuse me.
How's he doing?
We have him on medication to control the pain.
- He's over the worst. - OK.
- We'll leave you alone for a few minutes. - Thank you.
Jack, how are you, man?
I'm doing fine, buddy. How are you doin'?
- Doctor says I'm gonna make it. - Yeah.
You know what I have? They put dead men's skin on me.
Marlene wants to bring the kids by,
but I don't want her to.
Hey. Of course she wants to bring the kids. They wanna see you.
I'm scared, Jack.
I was their hero, you know? I was their hero.
Kids, they don't forget things like this.
I don't know, man. Maybe it would've been best if I just didn't make it. You know, l...
Hey. Don't say that. Don't say that.
Hey, Tommy, you know, this is one of the best burn centres in the country.
You know?
I don't think your kids loved you cos of your looks.
They miss their dad.
I don't know.
How did he look?
Good.
Is he in a lot of pain?
They're medicating him, Linda, so, you know...
I'd like to go see him.
Why?
Because he's our friend.
Do what you want.
Are you telling me you don't want me to go?
- No, I don't want you to go. - Why?
Cos you're gonna see him, and you're gonna get freaked out.
It's gonna be more for you to worry about.
More for me to worry about or more for you to worry about, Jack?
Linda, don't tell me you don't worry.
You're always talkin' about being honest. Be honest.
- Are you trying to pick a fight? - I'm not trying to pick a damn fight.
I'll tell you the job, good ones.
A big office, secretary.
Too much paperwork, though.
Oh, you have got to cheer up.
Hey, Jack, stop your pouting. Everybody's got to work Christmas.
Ho-ho-ho!
- Ah, here's trouble. - Ho-ho-ho!
Ho! Ho-ho!
77 and a Sea Breeze, dear?
Get it? "Deer."
What's eating you?
Hey, Santa, who is this? That's not Mrs Claus.
Cos I met Mrs Claus, and that is definitely not her.
Yeah, well, maybe I have to come slide down your chimney tonight.
I saw Linda kissing Santa...
What the hell are you doin'?
I'm OK. I'm OK.
What the hell's wrong with you?
He had it comin'. I'm gonna kick his ass!
This isn't about Lenny. What's wrong with you?
- Huh? - Nothing.
We gotta talk. Come on, let's get some coffee.
- I kicked his ass, didn't l? - Yeah, you did.
- You want anything else? - No, thank you.
Did we calm down?
So, you still love the job like you used to?
Look, you've been through a lot.
What can I say? I mean, you lost your best friend,
you've been through some bad fires.
You seen a lot of buddies hurt.
It festers. It does.
How are Linda and the kids?
You know, it's tough.
Yeah, it is tough. See, I never had that problem
because when I was married,
my wife hated me being a firefighter.
We were divorced nine months later.
But you're different. You're a good father.
You worry. But you should worry.
You know, maybe it's time for a change of scenery.
Yeah, what does that mean?
Well, I was thinking,
there's this, uh, job down at headquarters.
There's this aide's position that I can put your name in for.
Are you saying I need to get out of the firehouse?
Well, I'm saying that you should ask yourself that question.
Maybe go home, talk to Linda.
You know, be honest with yourself.
There's nothing wrong with moving on.
I did it.
So, what did he say?
Mike offered to take me with him as an aide.
What does that mean for us?
Well, I'll be home nights, unless they call me in.
And, uh, 70 cents an hour increase in pay.
No fighting fire.
Is that what you want?
I don't know. Um, you know?
Things have been so crazy lately and...
You know, the kids are scared, and I see you upset,
and, uh, you know, it's my fault.
So this is about me and the kids again, is it?
Look, we've been married ten years.
And what you do is hard for me sometimes.
And I do get scared.
But I deal with it.
Cos I'm proud of you, baby.
You know, Mike asked me tonight
if I still love the job the way I did.
And, for the first time in my life, I didn't know what to say.
..from midnight through the current hour,
how this has been progressing on into our area.
And you can see just at the midnight hour,
in and around the immediate Baltimore metro area,
we already have winter storm warnings...
- Man, we're gonna get six calls tonight. - Doubt it.
They're gonna bullshit all night, you're gonna tell me.
Mm, tell you...
Firebox 13-1 3. Please respond, 0-1-Charlie-1.
Engine 13, Engine 52, Engine 8 and 6...
Lenny! Lenny!
You'll ladder up to the third floor.
I got it! I got it! Go!
Over here!
- What's going on? - It's frozen!
Our pipe's running low.
Don! Don!
We got a frozen plug. We gotta pump it to 'em.
Comin' at ya.
- You OK? - Yes.
- How old are you, son? - Nine.
- Hey, buddy, where's your mom and dad? - Shopping.
They leave you alone?
I... I was with Jenny.
Who's Jenny?
My cousin. She was baby-sitting.
Where do you live? Which apartment? Show me.
Top one?
Hello? Fire Department!
Hello!
Fire Department!
Anybody hear me? Fire Department!
Hello!
Anybody there? Hello!
Hello? Hello!
Help!
Help! Can anybody hear me?
- Jack! - Help!
Hey!
- Right here! - Jack!
Hey, we're over here!
- Jack! - Right here, right here!
Grab her legs! Let's go!
Got her?
All the way down, all the way down.
All the way down. Go, go, go, go.
One, two, three, four, five.
Go. One, two, three, four, five.
Come on, breathe.
One, two, three, four, five.
Go. One, two, three, four, five.
Go.
I got somethin'!
- Good job. - Thank you.
Nice work, guys.
- Jack, you're bleeding. - Huh?
You're bleeding. Get it treated.
Your shift's over. Merry Christmas.
Lenny!
O come, all ye faithful
Joyful and triumphant
O come ye, O come ye
To Bethlehem
Come and behold Him
Born the King of angels;
O come...
On the night of Christmas Eve, Baltimore firefighters
Jack Morrison and Leonard Richter
entered a blazing apartment block,
despite enormous danger to themselves,
and saved a young girl's life.
Now, normally I'd present the medals,
but today we have someone more important
and certainly better looking: Jenny Buckley.
Firefighter Jack Morrison.
- Congratulations, Jack. - Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Firefighter Leonard Richter.
Come on. Come on!
Aah!
- We're through! - Come on, let's go!
Give me your hand.
Come on, this way! Let's go!
We got a rebar! Come on!
Come on! We need equipment up here!
All units report to the 11th floor now.
Jack. It's me, Jack.
Chief, I'm through the wall.
Coming down!
- Oh, God! - Get down!
- Is everybody all right? - Ladder 49 to Command.
We're through the debris.
And conditions deteriorating rapidly!
Ladder 49, there's a control room straight ahead.
Jack's in there. You keep going. Just keep going.
Jack, they're on their way.
Command, stand by. I see a door.
I see a door!
Jack, they're getting close.
You just hang on there, Jack. Just hang on.
- Come on, guys! - There's the door.
Jack, hold on! We're right here!
- Open it up! - Hold on, Jack!
- Open the door! - Come on, let's go!
Close it! Close it!
Ladder 49 to Command!
The room is blast over. We can't get in!
It's fully engulfed, Chief!
We're attempting to find another way to get to Jack!
We have a lot of falling debris here.
We have falling debris! We need help.
Jack, talk to me.
Mike, it's too late.
Listen to me. It's no good.
Pull 'em out.
Mike...
Tell Linda I love her,
that I loved her from the second I saw her.
Do you hear me?
Yeah, I hear you.
Promise to take care of my kids.
Tell them that I'm always with them.
You tell... you tell them that.
You hear me?
I will.
Command to all units. Evacuate the building immediately.
Truck 16 checking in here, Chief.
Uh, all units reporting clear.
The building's clear. We're all out.
Copy that.
It's never an easy thing,
saying goodbye to a brother firefighter.
It's not.
And this time particularly is difficult for me
because I watched Jack grow into a...
well, into one of the finest firefighters I've ever known.
He joined this department because he wanted to help people.
Who knows how many homes are still standing because Jack was there,
or how many lives were spared?
He gave his life for that cause.
We'll never forget you, Jack.
And we're better for having known you.
But I make you this one promise:
tomorrow, when that bell rings,
we will be back on the truck
because you were the bravest of the brave.
People are always asking me,
how is it that firefighters run into a burning building
when everyone else is running out?
Well, Jack, you answered that question
by saving another man's life.
Your courage is the answer.
And today we will be as brave as you...
by not mourning you, but by celebrating your life.
So I'd like everyone to stand up and celebrate the life
of Jack Morrison.
Thank you.
