- John Gavin, played by Denis Leary, is the only one in the fire bregade to have the guts to wrap up the remains of a child killed in a traffic accident.
He can cope with it, as he lost his only son child some years ago, also when little and also in a traffic accident.
The way the scene is handled, is touching and the only way how to do such a delicate thing on TV!
Most impressive.
Dennis Leary should have won an Emmy for one of these seasons.
I'm surprised he didnt, this is brilliant stuff....
Yes. And it's an absolute travesty that he didn't.

For every season
His reactions are so subtle but silently, he was trying very hard not to throw up. Denis should’ve gotten an Emmy for this.
As a retired ff, he was trying to not cry, not throw up. Child calls were always the worst. Those calls haunt you forever. I still dream of those
I always thought that this scene, was Tommy's final acceptance, and a way to deal with his own sons death when he got run over. He saw his own kid dying, but couldn't help him. Janet always blamed Tommy for that. And Tommy volunteering to pick up those little kid remains, was his way to deal with it, like it was a closure to him. And if you've seen the rest of this clip, others say something like, "How could he do that.." or something like that...
This show captures it. The internal struggle.
This scene was so powerful because it happens about everyday somewhere in this world. I salute any man or woman who could do this job.
For real.
Sometimes MVAs are the worst.
I'm late to the party, but thank you.
Unless their daddies get it for them
Exactly! Not just showing up and putting water here and there. First responders who have to deal with such trauma.
This focus of the show is shed light on what firefighters face on a daily basis, and how it impacts them. Personally, i think not showing the body and showing the face of Gavin instead (with the rest of the guys standing well away from the kid) is much more effective. Sometimes, it's not what you see, but what you don't see that can make a scene more dramatic.
Biggest balls in the history of the FDNY if Tommy Gavin was real. I salute them and their fallen brothers before and after 9/11!
The point in the scene was that the child was in several pieces so not only was he covering the baby, he was gathering the baby as well.
Not to mention kid was barbecued (some firefighters use that word to describe bodies burned beyond all recognition)
NO REALLY WOW LIKE WE COULDN'T ASCERTAIN THAT FROM THE SCENE NUMB NUTS
Great scene....as a firefighter of over thirty years I went on dozens not more of similar incidents....the regular public has no idea how quietly these calls stack up on your mental health over the years
Here is ex firefighter with drinking problem from Croatia , loved this show went through it most
Stuff like this would drive anyone to take drugs to forget. Ethanol or otherwise. Thank you for your service 🫡
You and me both brother. I've been on a million MVI's and DOS calls. But none of them hit quite as hard as when a child is involved. Especially when you're a father yourself.
Amen to that brother
I was a firefighter for 18 years. Once I had kids I had to quit. Couldn’t imagine going to anymore incidents involving kids.
Was an EMT when I was younger. Served on a volunteer squad. ANYTHING, car accident, killing, accidental death, overdose, etc. was terrible, but when it involved a kid, it was triple worse. You do what you do at the scene, then decompress back at the house. Different people did it different ways, but it is always hard. Hug a First Responder whenever you can. The average person knows precious little what these folks see on a daily basis.
I've worked as a nurse in an ER. Calls about a kid, or worse a baby, is a gut puncher. Given and gotten many a hug from the First Responders. If I knew they had kids I'd ask to give them a hug from me.
It was scenes like this that truely touched a nerve of anyone who ever was a firefighter! Miss real grit shows like this!
Why are comedians always such solid drama actors?
For comedy and drama you need a good sense of timing, also it’s more impetuous see a comedian do drama than a dramatic actor do drama.
Because many comedians are a little fucked up to begin with (they'll be the first to tell you that) and it somehow lends itself well to this sort of thing. Robin Williams was another good example. Him and Leary were among the best.
Wanting to make people laugh sometimes comes from awful awful places
Outstanding show,and sadly missed now. This scene in particular was fantastic,leading up to this they were all laughing and busting balls,until they see the baby/child off screen and then Tommy goes ahead and cleans it up.....Thats why this show was soo good,you would be pissing yourself laughing 1 second and then brought back toreality in an instant with what that job entails.
Leary and Tolan,were just mesmerising at writing this.
Dennis Leary's best. Wonderful, understated but heartbreaking performance.
This show came out when I was in high school and I gave me perspective on life. It’s one of those hidden gems that no longer exist because of how sensitive our culture is now. Every once and a while I watch an episode here and there to remind me of what normal used to be like.
Same here! This was playing at around the same time The Shield was, and I instantly fell in love with both.
Like you, I'll always watch an episode of each, to remidn me of what normal and what SOLID television drama looked like.
miss shows like these
needles absolutely kills me in this scene, because he knows this is who he needs to be as a leader, but he just doesnt have it in him, hes still young and bright and positive. And he just sits in the backgroudn, the only one with the balls to look as tommy does it, seeing his future.
this scene is so fucking rough. :(
Especially when their high up in a building. Respect
Firefighters and cops .... my 3 older brothers serve 30 years each in Miami PD... I asked them if any faces haunt them and how they deal with it ... they try to ignore it and forget ... take into consideration all 3 have had heart attacks at the age of 50's and al are going on 3 marriages ... yeah... they've handled it well
WTF they didn't learn the first two times?
But yeah this kind of shit can eat at you. It is one of the reasons police and fire have such fucked up senses of humor. You just can't un-see some things, but kids really bother you.
And EMS.
No one cares. Rescue me isn’t a real ahow
I started watching this show again after like 6 years. I also smoked weed for the first time since I had my son....and this scene was on immediately afterwards. I was so fucking uneasy. Such a powerful scene.
Amazing show.
Oh man.. and when he lost his son too. This show doesn’t hold back
well said...from someone who has been there
I wanted to be a fireman worse than anything growing up like my father. I wanted to ride in the truck with the lights and sirens going,I wanted to spray water on the fire, and I wasn’t Afraid of going into a burning building. I thought,I’m set.Then as I got of age and my father knew my intentions, he sat me down and told me about the other part of the job. The part he didn’t bring home. Needless to say the job wasn’t gonna be for me. It takes a special kind of person, almost a robot.
Above it said Child not Baby. I was shoked when he picked it up and it looked like he just folded the blanket back up then it hit me that it was a baby.
Not showing the child and instead focusing on the responders……thank you. People don’t realise that this happens a lot and can mess folk up. Happened on my shift back in the late 90s….parents driving home from hospital to their home in our rural area of Scotland. Mum is in the back and the newborn baby was in her arms and not in a car seat. Their vehicle had a head-on collision with another vehicle and it was dark at the time. Mum wasn’t strapped in either. She and the baby were thrown from the car….mum died on impact with the road. Nobody knew there was a baby until a young woman from another car caught up behind the immediate crash walked to find a house with a phone, (to call 999). She found the baby as she walked along the road….dead, again straight away from the trauma of being ejected through the windscreen onto the road. The dad was seriously injured and was unconscious - he didn’t find out about his wife and child until he was well enough to be brought out of his induced coma. The driver of the other car was not too badly injured but was fucked-up mentally for a good while. The young lady who found the baby was a mess for a long time….,she moved out of the area as it was too much for her.
Wow! I can’t even imagine the real life trauma with such a devastating incident.
Completely expected from trauma like that.
Frak.... The poor dad... Go from happiness to losing everything. Kinda been there and yes it it does mess you big and long.
ive never seen this show before. is this worth the blowin. cash on all the season DVDs lol?
Dino 55 Hell yeah it is
Yes
Definitely! I own every season.
It's on Hulu now too
Dino 55 best show I've ever seen. Saw all seasons. Excellent and worth the money.
Leary and this show got hosed by the Emmy selection committee. He never kissed the ring of the powers that be.
his name is tommy, johnny was his cousin till he got in an accident (on film/fake of course) and was killed GREAT SHOW BTW! :D
Johnny was one of his brothers who was a cop that got killed in the line of duty. Jimmy was his cousin killed in the line of duty on 9/11
Those bangs make him look like an older Leon S Kennedy or Dante.
Omg wow
This is actually episode 14
Its tommy or tom Gavin john was his brother who got shot
short bus at 1:12
Not showing us the body!
Classic FCC-era television
Do you really want to see a dismembered baby? Not showing it but showing how John's actions and the responses from the guys tell you all that you need to know.
I’m so confused
i wonder how badly mangled that poor kid was. obviously bad enough to where there is just pieces of the kid laying there
These days they might have actually showed the corpse.
I hope they wouldn't. Not showing it and the way the presented was much powerful.
you completely missed the fucking point
Dude.....
Leary owes his career to Hicks.
Got smoked by Giraldo too.
He sucks
It was only a show it wasn't real why didn't they show what happen to the kid? If it was for real then I could understand not showing it,but it's not for real.
Liz Davis There was no need to show it...
The few times this show has shown some graphic crap, it got it pretty realistic. Trust me, I’m are Firefighter/EMT myself, just be glad you don’t have images like that basically burned into your memories. Some things just shouldn’t be shown to the public
You not seeing it is the point. That's a very real situation, the really bad stuff you try to minimize.
Sometimes the theater of the mind is more effective
How long does it take to cover a child with a blanket? Denis Leary over-acting again.
Lou was the best actor on the show.
recogio pedasos de un bebé no el cuerpo de un bebe...
.....
😒😔🚶🚶
The kid was in pieces dummy.
Youre fucking stupid.
