I have always loved this powerful scene. Tommy Gavin was and amazing character and at times we all thought that he was a Superhero. I miss the show, the characters and their lives. It was an an amazing escape every week.
I was going to ask a fire fighter I know if that was possible and you just told me it was and makes me cry and happy at the same time I’m just so glad they can save her
@@Biffo1262 he still saved her. He didn’t give up on her. I feel some people give up after being on the job so long, and seems so much death. I guess he wanted to be the one that didn’t give up the character I know it’s fiction. But it is based on real human experiences.
Hey boss low key you nailed it on the head. Lou literally dissecting this situation made the whole scene. One of my davorite characters/actors on the show.
@@Weegee766 if i remember correctly,on this episode,everyone was trying to quit smoking.And so if anybody smoked they han to Pay a penalty and that money was going to be given to the man who lasted the most without smoking.i believe that the fee for getting caught smoking was like 100 dólars,so in fact he is in a very notorioulsy way telling the guys that he hay won the right to smoke in their face without consequences.
Seeing this for the first time had me crying and smiling.. I hid from an awful break up inside rescue me. The show seemed to follow people around and write the heartache they suffer.. I know things like this have happend in real life.. The real version of events pales all fiction before it.. Everything in rescue me was perfect at that moment. As soon as the little girl is resuscitated the first thing she says is "MOMMY". FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS.. Directing, writing, acting, music, etc.. LOU'S LOOK. "Hes the Mick" Lou talking about Tommy. Dennis Leary impressed me.. He carried the show . The Rick Grimes of the FDNY. Rage Tommys brother felt during Bonnie Brae.. Tommy was Cursed and alone with it like Jax Teller and Tony Soprano. However Tommy Gavin created more life than death. His heroic acts redeemed his soul.. Tommy's choice to give his son Connor a toy shotgun turns into a beautiful scence.... The death of Tommys son Connor was heartbreaking.. His brother and dad to.. we believe Tommy is being robbed at a bar by a young guy pointing a shotgun.. The guy is actually Tommy's son connor grown up.. Tommy is imagining the whole thing.. Hes relapsed... Drunk.. In his mind he wrestles away the shotgun. when he's actually grabbed the shotgun from behind the bar.. Tommy racks and fires at the robber... Who disappeared for they where never there... while Tommy is arguing with the ghosts of his deceased loved ones. Lous voice becoming a thunder clap that woke Tommy to Reality.. After Tommy's brother mayham had intercourse with Tommy's wife it became official.. Tommy's wife had sex with new york.. Doing it shortly after Jada Pickit Smith did it. Joining Jessica Parker and the thots..
I love this show and this scene. Tommy's life is a f*%#ing train wreck but he is the best fire fighter out there. I love the expression on everyone's face after he saves the little girl. Plus the song rocks.
The first three seasons of this show were pure genius and as good as the first three seasons of any other show in the Golden Age of TV. The characters were so good that the show remained watchable, but man those first three seasons were amazing.
@@mkultra8729 I hear that! One and two are def amazing. I say season three too because I really like the first half and one of my favorite scenes in the series is when Tommy discovers Johnny is banging Janet and subsequently brutally beats him. But I think the show jumped the shark with the Tommy / Janet rape scenes in that season. Season four was terrible and def agree five was better than 6,7 and 4 but it was hard for me to really love the show after the awfulness of season 4, particularly when Jerry killed himself after getting in shape and rekindling his relationship with his son. I hated that. It was done for shock value. The actor who played Jerry was even pissed about that.
@@mkultra8729 Agree. outside of 4 I wouldnt say any were bad. It just never returned to the greatness of seasons 1 and 2. Even four had some good moments.
35 years in the fire service this happened to me one time the medics gave up and I continued and brought a person back....not a hero just a human.....I did the job I was paid to do
Amazing episode! This was when they all agreed to quit smoking and whoevet did would have to put money in the piggy bank, in the end Gavin lights one right after a brief but successful battle of saving the girls life, he lights up and nobody said a word, Tommy was such a badass sometimes.
What an incredible moment I love and miss the show Rescue Me lot of Truth in it to snowflakes don't like these days what we're missing in this country a long with these bumbling idiots are in charge what a shame
Tommy, a hell raiser, raising the dead. This girl would have gone to heaven, tommy brings her back to life. Tommy does not understand God and death, as shown by his thoughts on 9/11. He saves the girl, but does he really? He saves her from a terrible death. But after death her soul is free. Tommy brings her back to the world of pain. A heroic effort, for himself mostly, because he didn't want to let go, regardless if he wanted to save her. He didn't do a bad thing but he meddled directly with God and performed a miracle, like Jesus, but tommy is an antichrist, he's a devil, his redeeming factors his loyalty and selflessness. Right after he strikes up, burning his life force away to cope with stress of his job. Rejecting life and his health, fighting to keep the innocent alive. In the chaos, finds harmony. Tommy is tommy, but the work needed to be done is completed, the fire is fought, the saves are made, and the booze is the drank.

Couldn’t have said it better…
I was a Fireman for 32 years … you can’t beat the feeling of the rescue 🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️😎especially a child ❤️
I was going to ask a fire fighter I know if that was possible and you just told me it was and makes me cry and happy at the same time I’m just so glad they can save her
@@oneunicorn904 Nope. Just not possible and if it were brain damage would be catastrophic.
Thank you ❤️

@@oneunicorn904Why Do Some People Give Up On The Job?
Tommy Gavin was without exception the single greatest character ever created.
Next To Cody Jarrett
I love this scene. I loved Lou's facial expression when he pulls out the cigarette lol.
If there ever was a scene that makes me want a cigarette, it’s this
Hey boss low key you nailed it on the head. Lou literally dissecting this situation made the whole scene. One of my davorite characters/actors on the show.
Tommy’s rubbing it in their faces that he saved her when no one else did

That was when they had the kitty going for quitting smoking.
I accidentally came upon this show one night and I was hooked ever since.
Just got the full set on DVD
This is what I like about Tommy even though he’s messed up. He is courageous and he doesn’t give up. He’s not like the other guys
This was the best walk of swag ever depicted. Ever.
So many great moments from this series. This is fucking legend.
One of the best scenes in the entire show 🔥
*In television history
I miss this show. Moments like this. I used to smoke Marlboro light 100s back in high school.
This show. Is back on Starz
@@sandraevans3932 Yup watch it every night at 10 PM, love watching the full series in a loop.
this shows soundtrack was godly

My favorite seasons are 1, 3, and 5. The worst was season 4. And Leary and Tolan agree.

@@ConcertSeason23 I remember 6 and 7 as being good. Been a long time. My favorite time in the series is when Tommy drank.
@@mkultra8729 Agree. outside of 4 I wouldnt say any were bad. It just never returned to the greatness of seasons 1 and 2. Even four had some good moments.
My opinion season 1, 2, 3 were GREAT TV. Seasons 5, 6, 7 were just ok, Season 4 stunk.
OMG STEREOPHONICS STARTED PLAYING AHHHHH
35 years in the fire service this happened to me one time the medics gave up and I continued and brought a person back....not a hero just a human.....I did the job I was paid to do
Tommy the Legend
One of the best series ever
Great fucking scene!
This scene makes me want to have a cigarette so bad lol
Specifically a parliament lol
I was so uncomfortable at first watching this.
I watch this clip once a week..
To this day this is still my favorite TV show and with todays political climate it can never be recreated.
Dennis Leary was the best actor as the the best character in the best show ever
I miss this show
such a powerful show
Amazing episode! This was when they all agreed to quit smoking and whoevet did would have to put money in the piggy bank, in the end Gavin lights one right after a brief but successful battle of saving the girls life, he lights up and nobody said a word, Tommy was such a badass sometimes.
I love this show. FX at it's best
Gavin was the baddest ass on TV
Tommy Gavin, you're the best! 🤗👍
This guy's a God love thus show talk about emotional Rollercoaster from comedy to action to intense and just fuckking sad
The show was inconsistent let's be fair but this scene is so powerful and overlooked
Awesome series !
Never give up, never give up.
Nunca te rindas, nunca te des por vencido. 🤗👍🙋♂️
Love you Dennis❤️
No shows like this nowadays
God they need a reboot of this show.
Does anyone know the name of the song
Stereophonics - "Devil"
Great scene. Great series.
In reality,, medics would have not stopped resuscitation with a kid on the stretcher but I get it, it's tv.
All that equipment and expertise but no epinephrine or defibrillator. A BS sequence.
Lol!!
great show. i have the soundtrack too
What an incredible moment I love and miss the show Rescue Me lot of Truth in it to snowflakes don't like these days what we're missing in this country a long with these bumbling idiots are in charge what a shame
Best tv show ever tied with OZARK! Denis Leary highly under rated.💖
Ozark last season destroyed most of the good buildup. Both shows had a huge downfall in quality interesting enough both after 3 seasons.
I bought a season of this just to see this scene
I Called in sick To watch 1 Season, Did the same with Sons Of Anarchy and Breaking Bad 😁
I cry every time. And I'm a guy.
Yes never give up!
NYFD..✨✨✨🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐⚡⚡❤️🩹💔🥀🥀🌹🌹🌹the best!!!!!

Am i the only person who thought this scene was completely ridiculous. The girl was clearly dead
