Lt. Steven McCaffrey: Jesus Christ, Axe! John 'Axe' Adcox: You don't understand. My cousin, Sally used to work at Swayzak's office. She saw the files, Stephen. She saw what he did. Lt. Steven McCaffrey: You set me up with those chemicals on the boat for what? Jesus! Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Stephen! John 'Axe' Adcox: [to Brian] You back off! [turns back to Stephen] Lt. Steven McCaffrey: Axe! John 'Axe' Adcox: Somebody had to stop these pricks, Stephen. Would you please listen to me? Lt. Steven McCaffrey: Look at me, Axe! What were you thinking? You don't burn people! You're a fireman! John 'Axe' Adcox: Well, when Sally showed me what was in Swayzak's files... Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: You saw Swayzak's files? John 'Axe' Adcox: I should've told you. I should've let you in on it, Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Let him in on what, John? Murder? John 'Axe' Adcox: Let you in on it before Swayzak and those assholes were closing firehouses. They were getting our friends killed for money. I had to, Stephen. I had to do it for the department and the family. Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Did you it for Tim, John? John 'Axe' Adcox: That was an accident! Lt. Steven McCaffrey: [when John admits that he was responsible for the fire that burned Tim] Did you start that fire? John 'Axe' Adcox: Jesus Christ! Why'd you have to go in there so fuckin' early? Lt. Steven McCaffrey: That's why you wanted me to wait! John 'Axe' Adcox: Let me finish! Swayzak... Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: No, John! It's over. John 'Axe' Adcox: You shut up! Your Dad would fuckin' puke if he saw how you shit on his department! Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: What would he say about you were doing, John? John 'Axe' Adcox: Your dad died saving my life, died saving my life and these people were killing firemen for money. Lt. Steven McCaffrey: Swayzak! John 'Axe' Adcox: He killed our friends for money. What the fuck would you do? Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Look! You're his lieutenant, Stephen. You gotta handle this!
