Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 3, Episode 16 - Shrapnel and Alibis - full transcript

Previously on "Army Wives"...

I got no time for
playing soldier, okay?

I'm talking about your life, Kanessa.

What do you know about my life?
You don't know nothing about me.

I'm looking for prospect Kanessa Jones.

Prospect Jones is onboard, ma'am.

Now you have
a responsibility, Sergeant.

- See her through.
- Yes, ma'am.

We had a sniper on patrol today,
and my buddy got killed.

- Jeremy, I'm so sorry.
- He was my best friend.

- You're still coming home, right?
- One more week.



- What happened?
- Helicopter crash.

The doc says I have
to be home for six weeks.

Come here, you two. Come here.

Oh, my god.
Those are burn marks.

- You were tortured?
- I'm okay,

and that's all you need to know.

I can't believe
you're not gonna tell me.

I did tell you, Pamela.

It was a helicopter crash.

{\pos(192,215)}Hey, babe?

{\pos(192,215)}- You coming down for breakfast?
- Sure.

When are we gonna talk
about what happened?

What?

There's nothing to talk about.



I don't-- I don't want to push, and...

I don't need to know...
everything, but...

I... I'd like us to be able to talk.

You know?

Maybe even help.

I don't need any help.

I told you, it wasn't that bad.

I saw a shrink.

It's required.

- I'm fine.
- That's--

that's good.

But...

Hey, couldn't it help
to talk to someone closer?

You mean you?

Yeah.

I've trained for situations like this.

And Delta has given me
everything I need.

Come on.
The kids are waiting.

- Squared away?
- Yes, Sir.

Battalion set to deploy at 1100.

Flight engineers
predict scattered clouds,

- low wind from the northeast.
- Good.

Nothing worse than saying your good-byes
to find you have to wait another day.

Yes, Sir.

I know this isn't gonna be easy, Joan.

But let me assure you that
as Sara Elizabeth's godparents,

Claudia Joy and I will
do everything we can

to be sure she is properly
spoiled in your absence.

Thank you, Sir.

Watch your six.

Yes, Sir.

~ Willow's Team ~

{\pos(192,215)}- Shouldn't he be here by now?
- Aw, come on. You know the drill.

{\pos(192,215)}They gotta deplane,
process in, check weapons.

{\pos(192,235)}I wonder how he's changed.

{\pos(192,235)}He's grown, D.

{\pos(192,235)}He's a long way from
that confused kid who enlisted.

{\pos(192,235)}You should read his performance reports.
It's nothing but outstanding.

{\pos(192,235)}- That boy's officer material.
- Frank, let's not push him.

- Do you see him?
- There he is.

Oh, honey!

Oh, it's so good to have you back.

Good to be back, mom.

- Soldier.
- Sir.

{\pos(192,215)}Come on. Let's get you home.

{\pos(192,235)}Come on.

{\pos(192,235)}Our boy is back.

{\pos(192,195)}- I blew it, didn't I?
- It's only a practice test.

{\pos(192,215)}Yeah, but if I don't nail
the real thing, I can't enlist.

{\pos(192,215)}Most of these questions you answered are
right, but you just left too many blank.

{\pos(192,215)}'Cause I couldn't get 'em.

{\pos(192,215)}Okay, so in a race,
if someone passes you,

- what, do you just quit?
- No. I turn it up.

{\pos(192,215)}So turn it up.
There's a trick to multiple choice.

You eliminate
the options that don't fit

{\pos(192,215)}and work towards the only answer
that satisfies the question.

Okay, look at question ten.

{\pos(192,185)}"An eclipse of the sun
throws a shadow of the...

{\pos(192,215)}"'a,' moon on the sun,
'b,' moon on the earth,

"'c,' earth on the sun,
or 'd,' earth on the moon?"

{\pos(192,215)}So what's the question asking?

Beats the hell out of me.

That's turning it up?

{\pos(192,215)}- How's a shadow formed?
- I don't know.

{\pos(192,215)}Something blocks a light.

So what's the light here?

Gotta be the sun.

So?

So the shadow can't be falling
on the sun if the sun is causing it.

- All right, so...
- So the answer can't be "a" or "c"...

Which leaves two choices.

It makes more sense that the
moon would be blocking the sun.

Final answer?

"b."

Money.

For real?

That's tight, Le-Blank.

Okay, question 14.

{\pos(192,215)}Something's different.

{\pos(192,215)}Yeah. I made some changes.

- Nice.
- You'll be happy to know

{\pos(192,185)}that your mother's cooking
is still the same, though.

{\pos(192,185)}She's making pot roast for dinner.

{\pos(192,215)}Yep, and we're having a big barbecue
tomorrow. People want to say hi.

{\pos(192,215)}That sounds great.

Listen, I was wondering if
I could borrow the car on sunday.

Sure. No problem.
What's up?

I thought I'd go see Rison's folks.
They're in Fayetteville.

That's a long drive.
You want some company?

- Thanks. I'll be fine.
- That's a nice gesture.

I'm sure they'll appreciate the visit.

You want a beer?

- Absolutely.
- Frank, he's underage.

Aw, hell.

Man's old enough to go to war...

he's old enough to have
a beer in his own damn house.

Welcome home, son.

You all set?

Hey, how about a picture of
mommy and daughter before you go?

I don't think we need
another one right now.

Well, I'll take it along.

We'll get somebody to snap a shot
of all three of us at the airfield.

No.

No? What, you don't want a picture?

I don't want you to go.

- What?
- It's too hard, Roland.

I'd like to say good-bye here,
away from my troops.

I have to be strong and in control.

I get it.

You know, maybe it's better this way.

Beside, the baby's
still getting over her cold.

Thank you.

You're always in my heart,
little angel.

Take care of daddy.

It's finally here.

I love you.

I love you.

Come back to us.

{\pos(192,215)}Jeremy, come over here.

{\pos(192,215)}- Here he is-- the man of the hour.
- Jeremy, it's so good to see you.

{\pos(192,215)}Good to see you, too, Mrs. Holden.

- General Holden.
- Welcome home.

{\pos(192,215)}- Thank you, Sir.
- Emmalin says hello.

{\pos(192,215)}She's at hockey camp this weekend,

{\pos(192,215)}but she'll want to catch
up as soon as she gets home.

Me, too.

I'm gonna give your mom a hand.

I was sorry to hear about P.F.C. Rison.
I understand he was a good friend.

Rest assured, he will not be forgotten.

No, Sir, he won't.

Yo, Sherwood!

Go. Be with your friends.

That's what you're supposed to be doing
at one of these, not talking to a 1-star.

- Good to see you, Jeremy.
- Thank you, Sir.

How's he doing?

He's doing all right, I think.

He took that boy's death pretty
hard, but he's squared away.

Well, he's a soldier now.

He seems fine, but how do you know?

I can't imagine losing a friend
during a deployment.

Michael says it's something
you never get over, not really.

It's hard watching
your husband go through it.

- It's harder watching your son.
- I'll bet.

- I don't know how they do it.
- No, me neither. One day...

you're in a combat zone, the next day
you're having burgers in your backyard.

Hey, buddy.

- Welcome back.
- Thanks, Trevor.

So back in the world, huh?

No more shaving in that little 4-inch
mirror, getting to sleep in a real bed.

It's gonna take
a little getting used to.

I thought you were deploying
with the 23rd sustainment.

I was, but--

He decided to command a desk instead.
How you doing, high-speed?

Sergeant Moran.
What happened to you?

He got tripped up over his own ego.
It's kinda hard to avoid.

Had a little helicopter mishap.
We all walked away.

Well, that's always good.

- So... working at a desk.
- I'm a recruiter.

Got my stripes, decided
to stay stateside for a while,

encourage more studs
like you to sign up.

That makes sense.

Don't even think about heading
down that road.

You want to be where the action is,
not pushing paper like this slacker.

Watch it, before I take
one of your crutches.

You can try, buddy.

I gotta take this.
We'll compare scars later, gimp.

Seriously, man, you ought
to consider special ops.

It's the greatest show
on earth, best of the best.

Roland, you made it.

I almost didn't.

Sara Elizabeth's still
getting over her cold.

She's been a little cranky today.

I bet she misses her mama.

Did Joan get off okay?

- I'm not sure.
- Come on.

She didn't want me at the airfield.

Afraid it would interfere
with her command presence.

Oh, Michael's the same way.

I say my good-byes at the car
and let him face the troops by himself.

I get it.

The truth is, it's hard to say
good-bye no matter how you do it.

Amen to that.

We are not gonna let this baby have
a moment's rest while Joan's away.

- She's got four more mamas now.
- Damn right, Roland.

You need anything, you call us,
or we're coming after you.

I got it.

- Babe, I gotta go.
- What?

I told you.
Kanessa's taking her test today.

- I thought that was later.
- It is, but she just called.

She's lost her ride.
I gotta go pick her up.

- Can't she call a cab?
- She can't afford a cab.

Besides, she could use
a little reassurance right now.

Can you just get
a ride from the Morans?

We're supposed to go swimming together
after this. I thought you would join us.

You know, it is the weekend.

It's my job. I'm sorry.

I'll try to meet up
with you at the pool, okay?

Fine. Go. But I'm not happy.

Where are the kids?

Playing at Roxy's.
I'm surprised you noticed.

What?

Nothing. It's nice to see you
enjoying a weekend with your family.

You're mad 'cause I didn't go
with you to the pool?

Pamela, I can't get this wet.

Right. You can jump out of airplanes
and run through the jungle,

but sitting in a deck chair and
watching your kids play Marco Polo--

- that's unbearable.
- Okay, what's eating you?

What's eating me?

How about the way you jumped on Trevor
at the barbecue for being a recruiter?

- I didn't jump on Trevor.
- Yeah, you did. I heard you.

We were talking smack. That's all.

Yeah, well, it sucks, okay,
because Trevor's a guy

who actually chose
to be near his family.

Everybody knows I was kidding, Pamela.

Right. Were you kidding when you told
Jeremy to go into special ops

or when you mentioned
your friggin' helicopter crash?

Okay. Here we go.

Oh, no. I loved hearing that.

I noticed you left out the part

about being captured and tortured.

- Yeah, Delta's great.
- Exactly what is your problem?

I don't know, Chase.
What is my problem?

You come home.

Something terrible happens to you,

and you lie to me about it,
and then you act like it's nothing.

And I...
I don't know what to do with that.

And then you're going on about
Delta being "the best of the best"

- and all of that ridiculous crap.
- Come on.

No, Chase. You know what?
It's freaking me out.

Because I...

I think you... like it like that.

You can't tell the little woman anything
because she's not in the big boys' club.

I'm your wife, Chase.

And you actually think...

that I wouldn't understand?

Hey. The kids out back?

With Katie and Lucas.

The pool didn't wear 'em out, huh?

Apparently not.

- Excuse me.
- Sorry.

So Kanessa passed.

When she swears in tomorrow,
I will officially have my first recruit.

Congratulations.

Look, Trevor, I thought the
whole point of this recruiter thing

was for you to spend more
time at home, not less.

Tell me it won't always be this way.

It won't. I promise.

I just gotta work
out a few kinks, okay?

I got an idea.
Why don't we all go out tonight?

Bowling, burgers--
What do you say?

- I think we're free.
- Yeah?

Good.

I'll go tell the kids.

Oh, Claudia Joy, come in.

Nothing fancy. Just chicken
with broccoli and cauliflower.

- You didn't need to.
- I'm guessing I did.

I doubt you're doing
much cooking right now.

You're right.

It's not the same, cooking for one.

It's quiet in here. Baby sleeping?

She's been napping since the barbecue.

I should wake her so she
won't keep me up all night.

I'll get her.

Okay. If you're really nice,
I'll let you change her diaper.

She's burning up.

She was fine when I put her down.

She's not fine now.

She's a fireball.

Come here, sweetheart.

Hey, honey.

Oh, lord. It's 105.

We're going to the hospital.

Grab my keys.

I gave her acetaminophen,

tried to cool her off with
a damp cloth on the way over.

Well, her fever's still high.
Had she had any kind of, uh,

digestive problems,
vomiting. Diarrhea?

{\pos(192,215)}We need to do a CBC,
an electrolyte panel,

{\pos(192,215)}urinalysis, and...
let's get a chest x-ray.

{\pos(192,215)}- Chest x-ray?
- Rapid heartbeat,

labored breathing--
could be pneumonia.

Pneumonia?
She hasn't been coughing.

It can set in rapidly, and
it's dangerous in a child this age.

Do whatever you need to do.

Go ahead and get that blood sample.
Start her on fluids. I'll order the x-ray.

I should have seen this coming.

You heard the doctor.
It comes on suddenly.

No, I should have seen it.

Chase, about earlier...

I'm sorry.

You've been through an ordeal,
and I'm trying to understand.

It's just...

You know, it's upsetting that
you won't talk to me about it.

I can't, Pamela.

I would if I could.
You should know that by now.

The thing is,

my training sergeant from Boston--

this real old-school guy
from Dorchester--

My first day on the job, he pulls
the cruiser over and tells me,

"they are only two people
I trust in this world--

"my partner... and my wife.

"And I'm not too sure about my wife."

That's not us.

Really?

I promise.

Roxy and Trevor invited us
to go bowling with the kids.

You want to come?

- You can keep score.
- Damn. I wish I'd known.

- Why? What's up?
- Charlie's on his way to get me.

We're supposed to go visit
one of our guys at the med clinic.

I don't have to go.

No. No, go.

I'll take the kids. It's fine.

I'll make it up to you.

Her fever still hasn't broken.

No, no. Don't come.

You don't have to come, Michael.

Yes, I've been eating.
My levels are fine.

Don't worry about me.

I'll call you as soon as
we find out anything.

Okay. Bye.

Any word?

It's Marissa Lynn Groves.

Who's that?

It was during my pediatric
rotation as an intern.

This young family
came in with their baby--

Marissa Lynn Groves.

She was 3 months old.

She was a pretty little thing.

She was burning up
like Sara Elizabeth.

And a few hours later,
she was gone.

Sara Elizabeth is going
to be all right.

She will.

It's international.

Hello?

Hey, husband.

Hey, wife.

- You in Iraq?
- I wish.

Still stuck in Germany while
they build a new plane or something.

- Miss me yet?
- You bet I do.

- How's Sara Elizabeth?
- She's keeping me busy.

Hold the phone up
to her ear so I can talk to her.

She's sleeping.

- Is everything all right?
- Of course.

Yeah? You don't sound so good.

I'm just tired. I miss having
my tag team partner around.

Lightweight.

You've only been
a single dad for a day.

I'll call you again when I can.

Lots of kisses.

Back at you.

What could I say?

Come on, Finn.

Keep going.

Go, go, go, go, go. go.

I got eight, dad. I win.

Not yet, buddy.
You got nine frames left.

- But that was awesome.
- All right, T.J. You're up.

Buddy, throw me a bullet.
I know you can do it.

Go, T.J.!

It's me, Kanessa.

- Kanessa, what's up?
- Watch me, dad.

- I can't make it tomorrow.
- You've got to make it.

You miss the swearing in,
you can't go to basic.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I'm not enlisting.

What?

Where are you?

County General. I gotta go.

Yeah! Did you see?
I got my first strike.

That was fantastic. Rox.

Katie, why don't you take my turn?

- Trevor, don't even.
- It's an emergency.

It's a saturday night, and
you're with your family. It can wait.

Kanessa is at the hospital, all right?

- What's wrong?
- I don't know.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Guys, I gotta go.
Something has come up with work.

Again?

I'll make it up to you.
I promise. I'm sorry.

That should be part of every
marriage vow in the army.

What?

"For richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,

"and I'll make it up to you."

- What are you doing here?
- I was worried. Are you okay?

- It's my sister.
- What happened?

{\pos(192,215)}She o.d.'ed.

Well, is she all right?

Yeah. They say she can go
home tonight, but it's a mess.

You need to look after her.
I get it.

The army can wait until
Taisha gets back on her feet.

- No, I ain't going, period.
- Whoa, slow down.

I'm sorry your sister has a problem,

but you have to think
about what's best for you.

- It's not about me.
- Aunt Kanessa, we're thirsty.

Yeah, in a minute.

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Other than Taisha,
I'm the only family they got.

Come on. Let's get a soda.

It is pneumonia.

However, it appears
to be a dense infiltrate

confined to the right lower lobe.

She has an elevated
white count with a left shift.

- So it's bacterial.
- Yeah.

I've started her on
a broad-spectrum antibiotic

and the fever finally
seems to be responding

to the acetaminophen and the fluids.

Her o-2 sats are
consistently greater than 97%,

so assuming that
her temperature stays down

and her chest retractions abate,

I don't see any reason you can't
take her home tomorrow morning.

With continued medication at home,

Sara Elizabeth should be
fully recovered within a week.

However, I do want you to be sure to--

To schedule a follow-up with
her pediatrician. Consider it done.

- Thank you.
- It's my pleasure.

- Glad I could help. Good-bye.
- Thank you.

Thank god, huh?

You coming to bed, babe?

Yeah, in a minute.

I'm sorry you lost your first recruit.

She can make something
of her life, Rox.

I know it.

I feel like I not
only failed the army...

I feel like I failed her.

You did everything you could, right?

Yeah.

Okay. Don't be too long.

- Annette.
- Pamela, hi.

That was nice of Charlie
to pick up Chase last night.

Oh, are you kidding?
Charlie was so happy to go,

he was out the door 30 seconds
after your husband called.

I just wish he would have
come home in as good a mood.

What?

Well, apparently Chase's broken
leg doesn't affect his aim.

He shot circles around Charlie.

At the firing range.

- The firing range?
- You know our Delta boys.

They just can't get
enough target practice.

Why?

Where did you think they were going?

I don't know. I guess I just
wasn't paying that much attention.

You know us Delta wives.

All right. I'll see ya. Bye.

Y'all go play on the porch.

I said everything
I had to say last night.

I just came by
to see how you're doing.

Is Taisha home?

Yeah, she home.

Social services been by.

She promised she'd be going
into a rehab program.

That's good.

We'll see.

The thing is, I go into the army,

Taisha messes up again, those
kids'll wind up in foster care.

You know what that's like?

Yeah, I do.

I was a foster kid till I was 7.

You're full of surprises, ain't you?

So you know why I gotta stay.

I know you got a tough
decision on your hands.

What choice do I have?

You just gotta think this through,
Kanessa. It's like a test.

Let's say worst case scenario
happens-- Taisha blows it.

You take in your niece and your nephew.

Then what? How are
you gonna pay for everything?

- Food, clothing, shelter?
- We get by.

If one of you gets sick,
where's the money for the doctor?

- I am not turning my back on my family.
- And I am not asking you to.

Family is the most important.

I'm asking you to think about
what's best for them, long-term.

You enlist now,

and after training, you can claim
them as dependents, if you have to.

You'll have a housing allowance,
health care, schooling.

What if I deploy?

It will complicate things,
I'm not gonna lie to you.

It's not like you'd be
the first single parent to serve.

Of course there still could
be some foster care involved,

but the army has programs
to help you deal with it.

Right now there are two people
showing those kids the way to grow up--

Your sister and you.

Just think about it.

Okay?

I'll see you around.

Here you go, Jeremy.

I hope it's not too sweet.

Mr. Rison likes it this way.
Mark did, too.

It's perfect, Mrs. Rison.
Thank you, ma'am.

Well, thank you for coming.

We received a lovely letter
from a Captain Reynolds.

That's our company commander, ma'am.

But it's so nice to have someone visit
who actually served with Mark.

He talked about you quite a bit
in his e-mails and phone calls.

And he went on and on
about that dog you two found.

- Didn't he, Tom?
- Yes, he did.

Mark was my best friend.

As tough as things got, we could
always find something to laugh about.

He was like that, even as a boy.

Thought you might like to have this.

Maybe you already have a copy, but...

No, we don't.

Thank you.

- How did my son die?
- Tom.

I'd like to know.

Yes, Sir.

We were on the outskirts of Rusafa.

Presence patrol.

Just passing through like
we had done 20 times before.

It was hot.

And Mark was limping.

He had...

He had twisted his ankle
playing basketball.

So Mark-- he, uh...

he hitched a ride with the humvee.

That's why he was in the turret

with the ma deuce--

The .50 caliber, the... the m-2.

He hadn't been riding for more
than a minute when the sniper fired.

If I...

If I hadn't...

- If I hadn't--
- It's all right, son.

We know it was hard
for you to come here.

Thank you.

Thank you for being such
a good friend to our boy.

That's Charlie.

- Where you going now?
- Gonna hit the gym.

Gotta exercise my shoulder.

{\pos(192,215)}I forgot to ask.

{\pos(192,215)}How was your friend
at the clinic last night?

{\pos(192,215)}Oh, he's doing great.
We snuck in some beer.

{\pos(192,215)}The nurse almost caught us.

A little high school, don't you think?

{\pos(192,215)}Well, that's what made it fun.

{\pos(192,215)}I'm sure he was glad to see you.

{\pos(192,215)}- Who was it again?
- Ed Holmes.

{\pos(192,215)}You don't know him.
He came in last month.

- New guy.
- God, it is so easy for you.

What?

Lying.

You didn't go to the clinic last night.

You went shooting.

I ran into Annette.

I can explain, Pamela.

Yeah, so can I, Chase.
You go to Delta over your family.

- No, that is not true.
- Chase, don't talk to me

- about what's true or not.
- Calm down, okay?

It's not like I went to
a strip club.

Yeah, Chase,
and that makes it all better.

You want to tell me what else
you've been lying to me about?

I'm serious.
What else have you been lying--

Get off my back! Can I have one
moment of peace and quiet to myself?

Yes, you can, Chase!
But you don't get it.

Okay, you know what? J-- go.

Hit the gym or wherever
it is you're really going.

- I mean it. Get out!
- I will. Fine.

- I can't hold this any longer.
- Understood, Sir.

Maybe next time.

Fall in.

- Has it already started?
- Just in time.

I wanted them to see.
I brought a neighbor to help.

- That's great.
- Sergeant Leblanc, are we ready?

Yes, Sir. Now get up there. Go.

Attention!

Are you ready to take
the oath of enlistment?

- Yes, Sir.
- Very well.

Hands down. Stand at ease.

And congratulations.

Mrs. Saunders will be right
next door if y'all need her.

Y'all are gonna
have to stay strong

and look out for each other
like we talked about, right?

And remember to help
your mama around the house.

And pray for her to stay well,
and I'll be praying, too. Okay?

If there's a problem,
you gotta look in on 'em.

- Promise me.
- Count on it.

No, you gotta promise me.
I'm serious.

I promise.

Thank you, Le-Blank.

Hey, private.

It's Sergeant Le-Blank.

- Hello?
- Hey, handsome.

Where are you?

I'm smack in middle of
the kitty litter. I'm in theater.

Just so you arrived safely.

I'm fine.
How's our little one?

She's not complaing.

How about you? Get some rest?

Yeah.

It's all good now.

I miss you.

Miss you, too.

What can I do?

Slice the bread.

The one thing I can't ruin, right?

No guarantees.

- How is Sara Elizabeth?
- Much better.

Roland said
the antibiotic is doing its job.

- Joan must be relieved.
- Roland never told her.

What was the point?

The point was their
child was seriously ill.

And now she's not.

Claudia Joy, when you're out there,

you want to know
what's going on back home.

There was nothing
she could do but worry.

But she has a right to know.

And we have a right to protect
our spouses from distractions.

Isn't that what the army wants?

- Keep our soldiers focused, ready?
- Still...

You don't know how hard it is

to manage things
when your partner's gone.

- I suppose.
- Believe me, you don't.

So what didn't you tell
me when I was gone?

- Not important.
- Claudia Joy.

Slice the bread.

You were gone a long time.

Yeah, overseas video conference.

What you reading?

I got my writtens for paramedic
certification next month.

The boy back from Fayetteville?

Yeah. Yeah, he's out with friends.

That's good for him.
How'd it go with the Risons?

He didn't say much.
I think it was hard on him.

Well, I'm sure it was.

It's a good thing to do, though.

Give those folks some closure.

- I am so proud of him.
- Me, too.

Frank, do you think he's okay?

- Yeah. Why?
- I just worry.

Every mother worries.

All in all, I'd say
he's handling things just fine.
