Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 4, Episode 1 - Collateral Damage - full transcript

Unique Translation English

Have anyone in mind?

You'll do.

After my wife died,

I was sure I'd never
get married again.

Then along came lenny.
She sounds wonderful.

I think you're gonna like her.
There she is. Honey, over here.

Lenore? Lenore?

We're having a baby?

Yes! Yes! Yes.

This is me happy.



Because you said it's not
the right time. This

is the greatest thing
you've ever said to me

Since "I do."

Come here.

Come here, come here, come
here, come here, come here.

Sir, I am requesting the
privilege to deploy.

This was an opportunity
for us to stay together.

I know, but giving up
this battlefield command

Would mean turning my back on
the soldiers that I've trained

And the officers
who depend on me.

You're always in my
heart, little angel.

Take care of daddy.

Come back to us.

Take cover!



Chase, I can't keep doing this.

Doing what?

Raising this family alone.

I'll do better.

Whatever it takes.

You missed my dance.

I know. I'm sorry.

I really am.

Delta is your family,
and we're your job.

You're overreacting. If
you take that course,

Do not expect us to be
here when you get back.

I already told 'em I'm in.

Pamela!

Mark was my best friend.

How did my son die?

Jeremy?

Jeremy?

Jeremy.

All right, now let's
just put the gun down.

Jeremy.

Give me the weapon, son.

Jeremy, please... Give
your father the gun.

That's it.

Ohh.

Let's go. Get him up on the gurney.
Well, bring him in.

Wounds to the head. Gotta
get a line in now.

Check his airway.

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Lines are in. 10
milligrams, stat.

You're gonna be all right.

jeremy, what were you
doing with this gun?

Just tell us, honey, please.

What were you thinking?

Military police.

Sir, we have reports of
shots fired inside the

residence. Yes. Yes, we had
a negligent discharge.

No one was hurt. We need
to see for ourselves, sir.

Of... of course. Of course. This is m-my...
my wife denise,

My son, private jeremy sherwood.

Is that the weapon? Yes, it is.
It's mine. Fully registered.

Who fired it? It just went off.

It was an accident?

I think my son needs help.

Mom, I'm... I'm okay.

Look... We came in
after the shot,

So I'm not sure what happened.

If you'll come with us, private.
What? I-I'm okay.

Turn around. Put your hands behind
your head. You're arresting him?

Ma'am, we're taking him to the p.
M.O. I told you he needed help.

The provost marshal will
make that determination

With his c.O., ma'am.

Standard procedure. You can
follow him if you'd like.

We're almost there.

Claudia joy.

Denise.

How is he?

Whatever you need, frank.

Thank you. Thank you.

I worried about him every
minute he was in iraq.

I didn't think I'd have
to worry about him here.

I talked to him
just the other day.

Thought he was doing better.

Colonel and mrs. Sherwood?

General. Doctor.

Um... claudia joy.

I'm dr. West. I was assigned
to evaluate your son.

Why don't you have a seat?

Okay.

All right.

How is he?

Resting.

I gave him a sedative
to settle him down,

And I put him on a
72-hour suicide watch.

For three days, he'll be
under constant supervision

While he's further evaluated
by a staff psychiatrist.

May we see him?

No, that's not advisable.

He's my son. Well, under the
circumstances, I can't allow it.

I have a right to see him. D.

No, I'm not... I'm not leaving
here until I see my son.

Hello?

I'll be right there.

Hey. Here, let me take her.

Thanks for coming. Sure.

Come here, baby. There you go.

Gotcha. Thank you.

I've got her.

Hey, guys.

I'vehey. Her.

I'm so sorry.

Have a seat.

I spoke with dr.
West on the way in.

He brought me up-to-date.

He won't let me see him. I know.

Can you take me to him?

Denise, we all want to do
what's best for jeremy.

It's dr. West's
opinion- and I agree...

That seeing you right now

Could aggravate feelings
of shame, humiliation,

And we can't risk
making things worse.

So when can I see him?

I'm not sure yet.

I-I just want to
talk to his doctor.

You are. I'm taking
jeremy's case.

I still have some
privileges at mercer.

With their caseload,

Dr. West was happy to
make me the attending...

If you're okay with it.

Of course. Thank you.
Absolutely.

Sure.

You know, I just...

I just don't know what's
going on with him,

You know?

He probably doesn't
know either, frank.

That's what we gotta work on.

All right. Time for your meds.

Back to check on you in 30.

Shh! Shh, shh!

Shh! You, shh!

Shh. Give me my sheet.

Ohh. Ohh.

So what we just did...

Do you think that hurt the baby?
Mmm.

I think the baby's fine.

It's really you that
I'm worried about.

Me? Yeah.

I've never felt better
in my whole life.

Mm.

Mm. Which reminds me,

I gotta buy cigars for everyone
at the recruiting station.

What? Mm-hmm.

Whoa, there, cowboy.

You cannot tell anyone
until I tell my friends.

Why not?

Well, because I don't want
them to hear it secondhand,

That's why not.
Okay, so call 'em.

Well, I can't call 'em now. It's too early.
Babe, it's an army post. They're up.

No. Call 'em. got it.

Okay, who do you
want to call first?

Mm.

Sorry to bother you. It's
not a problem. Come in.

Chase.

Do you know where pamela is? No.

She didn't say anything to you?
About what?

She's gone. What... what- - what
do-what do you mean, "gone"?

Last night when I got home,

The house was empty-
no katie, no lucas.

She took the kids.
She didn't tell you?

The last time I saw pamela was
at the promotion ceremony.

What happened?

We had a fight.

Could you call her please, rox?

Sure.

Hi, you've reached pamela. Please leave
a message. Straight to voice mail.

Hey, it's me.

Uh, will you give me a
call when you get this?

It's important. Thanks.

Did you try her family? I need to talk
to her. I need to know what's going on.

Sorry.

Look, uh, you'll let me
know when she calls, right?

You got my number? Yeah.

Okay. Good.

All right. Sorry. Thanks.

Hey, baby. What's going on?

Hey, roland.

Joan, you okay?

I'm good.

I'm in the hospital,
but I'm good.

Wait. The hospital?

What happened?

Convoy came under fire.

I took some shrapnel.

Got a few stitches
in my shoulder.

I wanted you to hear it
from me before the army.

How's sara elizabeth?

Uh, she's fine, but I
want to talk about you.

Oh, I can't stay on the
phone, roland. No...

There's soldiers waiting, but... Hey, no...
joan, don't hang up.

I'll call you in a day or two.

I-I gotta go.

I don't want you to worry, okay?

I'll call.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Come on, lucky.

Hey, watch it, dog.

We're taking him for a walk.

Who's taking who for a walk? I
told you, you're too little.

Am not! Mom!

Just give him a chance.

Pamela?

You did it yesterday. Hey,
um, uh, wait a minute, okay?

Hey, uh, just go outside.
Take the dog. Ugh!

Pamela, where are you?
Are you okay?

Wow.

So he volunteered
to go to colorado

After promising the
kids a vacation?

I couldn't even see straight,

So I just threw a bunch
of stuff in the car,

And I got the hell out of there.

I really think it's over, roxy.

Don't say that.

I can't keep doing this...
Lying to my kids

And making excuses for a man

Who puts his family second...
Always.

Well, maybe he'll
get it this time.

Yeah, maybe.

Until the next time.

I know, he's been a total jerk,

But I just can't imagine

That he would throw
all this away.

♪

Well, I don't know
what else to do,

'cause he's not exactly the
marriage counseling type.

We always fought
it out ourselves.

Look... You're upset,

And you have every right to be,

But it's not really
the best time

To make a big decision.

And we both know that army
life is this big cycle...

No, roxy, it is not the army.

It's him.

Your husband's in the army,
and he made a choice.

Trevor chose you.

I can't tell you How
amazing that is to me.

♪

I'm just... Tired of it.

♪ We lived in a pensive world ♪

♪ we have it all ♪

according to my information,

Joan's convoy was
ambushed outside tarbala.

Will you sit?

Yeah.

She exposed herself
to enemy fire

To drag a wounded
soldier to safety.

An r.P.G. Round caused injuries
to her right side and face.

Wait. Her face?

She didn't say anything
about her face.

I thought it was her shoulder.

Well, initial report said...

There may have been some
damage to her eyes.

Oh, god.

Uh, how bad? Does it say how bad?
No.

They're taking her to germany for further
treatment. I need to go see her.

She didn't say anything
about this? No.

Then I would wait, roland.

First reports from the field
can be notoriously unreliable.

This could be relatively minor.
Then why take her to germany?

We have specialists there.

The army stabilizes
injuries in t

And then evacs to
landstuhl if necessary.

Sometimes soldiers turn
right around from germany

And rejoin their units.

I know this is tough,
But my advice...

Sit tight.

As a soldier, I think that's
what joan would want, too.

Where do you want these? Oh,
you can just leave them.

Protocol will take
care of everything.

Where's emmalin today?
Hockey clinic.

Ohh. She's such a great girl.

Denise, Jeremy will be fine.

We were finally together
again as a family,

Talking about a trip to ohio.

I know.

You think a family's
forever, and, uh...

Well, it can all be taken
from you in a heartbeat.

Claudia joy, I'm so sorry. I
didn't mean to bring that up.

No, it's okay.

I miss her... Every day.

Be grateful jeremy's here.

Ohh, uh, we're gonna be a
lot of fun tonight, huh?

Oh.

Whoa. Who's getting married?

Uh... No one's getting married.

Uh, it's a command dinner.
Oh. Whatever that means.

Oh. Hey, denise, I just heard.
I'm so sorry.

If there's anything I can do...

Thank you. Tell us about pamela.

Why don't we go sit
in the other room?

I could use a break.

Okay. Yeah. Hmm.

Have a good one.

Thanks. You, too.

Man, this is so cool.

I wish we could be
on vacation forever.

It's not a vacation, stupid.

Mom and dad are fighting. That's why
he's not here. Nuh-unh. Dad had to work.

Oh, yeah? Well, then why did we leave without
saying good-bye? 'cause he was busy.

I heard mom crying in the
bathroom last night.

Okay, burger time.

Mom, were you crying last night?

Yeah. I watched a
really sad movie

After you went to sleep.

Well, katie said you and
dad are fighting. Shut up.

Well, I could see why
she would say that,

Because I was upset

That daddy couldn't come
with us on our trip,

But that's the army.

Plans change, and we gotta
roll with it. Right?

I wonder who had the
double chili cheese. Me.

♪

One shrimp, one gumbo,

And I'll be right
back with your draft.

♪

Chase. Did you talk to her?

Yeah. I thought you
were gonna call me.

Look, don't put me in the
middle of this, okay?

Pamela's mad, and I
don't blame her.

Is she coming home? Is she gonna
call at least? I don't know.

Look, this is about
my kids, roxy.

Hey. Look, hey.

You don't want to get involved.
I understand.

Just tell me where she is.
I'll go talk to her myself.

This isn't fair, okay?

She can't just run
off with my family

And decide when I get to see 'em.
No, you know what is not fair

Is the way that you've
been treating her.

I mean, we're all
army wives, chase.

We all get the mission,

But sometimes you have to meet
us halfway, and you don't.

I know what goes on. Look,
you don't know what goes on.

You only hear one side of it.
Tell me where she is!

♪

Sorry.

Uh, I'm sorry.

Chase...

This was a mistake. I
shouldn't have come here.

It was nothing.

I was...

I was just fooling around.
That's all.

With a loaded weapon?

I was drunk.

What?

I'm listening.

Well, what do you
want me to say?

Whatever's on your mind.

Go to hell.

How about that?

That's a start.

Drinks and hors d'oeuvres

Till 8:00, then let's get
everyone to the table.

Hey.

Michael, you shouldn't have.

I didn't.

They were delivered to
my office by mistake,

But it gave me an excuse
to check in on you.

That was a pretty rough
night last night. I'm okay.

Honestly, michael, uh, this
dinner is about the last thing

I want to be doing tonight.

I know, I know.

Come on. Let's see who
these flowers are from.

Mm.

"congratulations,

"you are one of the six
nominees for the spenser award,

"given to the military
spouse who best exemplifies

The highest traditions of
service to our country."

Wow! The spenser award.
That's fantastic.

You didn't have anything
to do with this, did you?

No, it's all done by committee
back in washington.

The presentation is being
held here this year, michael.

Purely coincidence.

It rotates from post
to post every year.

Come on. Show a little pride.

We're talking national
recognition here,

And you deserve it.

Oh, my god.

You won't believe who
else has been nominated.

No. what?

Claudia joy holden
is also a nominee?

I suppose it makes
perfect sense.

After all, fort marshall is
hosting the award this year.

Home field advantage, darlin'.

Exactly.

Well, whatever happens,

It's a tremendous honor
to be nominated,

And I'm very proud of you.

Well, thank you, sweetie.

I was just thinking, a win
would be so good for the team.

Well, you're the odds-on
favorite in my book...

But nothing like a little
healthy competition

To bring out the
best in everyone.

Right? I couldn't have
said it better myself.

Hmm.

Pamela, where are you?

I'm not coming home

Just to do the same thing
over and over again, chase.

We gotta make some decisions.

Okay. Okay, just come home. We'll talk
about it. Well, I promised the kids

I'd take 'em to the
water park tomorrow,

And I'm gonna do that,
because they've had

Too many broken promises lately.

And then you'll come home?

I'm going nuts here
without you, pamela.

We're a family.

Yeah, I know.

Okay, I gotta go.

There you go. See? Perfect.
Look at that.

What you gotta do... I got it.

Hey, finn.

Whoa! That's some plane
you got going there.

Yeah, we're building
it together.

Wanted to, uh, get
some work done

On the kitchen before
pam comes home.

You got a 12-inch pipe wrench?
Yeah, sure.

Okay, now keep holding that
till it sets, all right? Okay.

So pamela's coming home?

Yeah, tomorrow.

Here... here you go.

Thanks.

Your wife gave me quite an
earful about me and pam.

She tell you?

No, but I'm not surprised.
They're best friends, so...

Yeah. I just don't know
what she wants anymore.

I mean, we used to be together
on this stuff, you know?

So what do you think?

About what?

Am I wrong to go to fort carson?

Opportunities come,
you take 'em, right?

I mean, I was
handpicked for this.

Look, I get it.

Coming back from that injury
couldn't have been easy.

No, it wasn't.

What about you, man?

I mean, silver star recipient-
you could be leading a squad,

Fast-tracking your
way to a butter bar,

But you didn't go that way.

It's not the same situation. Maybe not.
But what's that like,

Being here instead
of over there?

It's good being
around the family.

That wasn't my question.

Honestly, after I got wounde

All I could think about was
getting back to my unit.

That's what drove me every day,

To the gym, to the track.

I had to get back to my guys.

You still want to.

Don't get me wrong, I would
make the same decision again.

It's. You just can't
get these years back.

Ever since I joined up,

All I wanted was to be
the best of the best.

And I got there...
And I love it.

Have you told your wife that?

Yeah.

I just don't think she's
listening much anymore.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Damn.

I am all thumbs tonight.

Can you help me, please?

Sure.

I can't do this.

What?

Go to the party and
make small talk.

I know, I know. I
feel the same way.

But we don't have to
stay long after dinner.

I mean it, frank.

The polite stares, the...
the silent questions...

I st don't think I can take it.

Of course you can.

We can't hide from it, d.

Could you go without me?

I could.

That'd just raise
more questions,

Don't you think?

Look, we have to do
what's best for jeremy.

Anybody asks, we just say that
he- - he had a hard night,

And he's gonna be okay.

I can't.

Look, I know it's hard,
but I need you to try.

I have to be there.

Look, we'll just soldier
through together like always.

Our son tried to kill himself.

I know.

But for the next couple hours,

We just gotta put that in a box
and try and forget about it.

Okay?

Oh, sweetheart.

It's all right, baby.

Okay.

Ay.

I'll give 'em a call, tell
'em you're not feeling well.

There she is- the
woman of the hour.

Wonderful party, dear.

Thank you, lenore. Well,
aren't we the lucky guys?

I understand that one
of us could be married

To the nextspen. that's right.

I think it's safe to say,
general, that our wives

Bring honor not only to us, but
to the entire army. Hear, hear.

How about I buy you another drink?
Sounds good.

Excuse us.

Mm. Well, I-I do hope we can
be friendly competitors.

Oh, honestly, lenore, that award

Is about the last thing
on my mind right now.

Oh. You don't have to pretend
with me, claudia joy.

It's natural to have ambition.
I'm not pretending.

Of course not...

Any more than you
were pretending

When you drove me off post.

Had nothing to do with that.

You know... It would
be so much easier

If you could just come off
that high horse for one moment

And admit that you're no
better than the rest of us.

But then that would spoil
the image, wouldn't it?

Excuse me, won't you?

You know, I haven't
seen denise anywhere.

I hope everything's okay.
Where is your lovely wife?

Denise sends her regrets.

She's, uh, feeling a little under
the weather. Sorry to hear that.

Oh, what a shame. Well,
I certainly hope

That recent events didn't contribute
to her discomfort. Recent events?

Remember, I told you, honey...

Colonel sherwood's son was
hospitalized last night.

Oh, that's right. What happened? Oh,
it was just a little mishap, general.

Oh. Well, there she is.

Hi, everyone. Forgive
me for being late.

Hi, denise. Hi.

Glad you could make it. How are you
feeling? Much better. Thank you, general.

And your son? Everything okay?

Yes, he's doing fine.
Thank you for asking.

Well, it seems dinr's ready.

Why don't we head into the dining room?
See you in a minute.

We'll be right in. okay.

I'm glad you came. You look beautiful.
thank you.

I just couldn't stand to be in
that house anymore. Mm-hmm.

I kept seeing...

You're gonna have to help
me get through this.

Don't worry. I put you
next to me tonight.

Okay. Okay?

Yeah.

What are you doing here?

Bed change.

I don't need that.

Come on now. Rules are rules.

Dude... hit the panic button.

Get away from me!

Let me outta here, man! it's okay.
It's okay. Just keep cool.

Let me outta here! Keep cool, all right?
Look, just take it easy, man.

Just take it easy. I'm dr.
Burton. I'm on call.

Private sherwood's my patient.
I'll take it from here.

He's been cheekin' his meds. If
you'll wait outside, please.

You can put the chair down.

It's just us.

Why didn't you take your meds?
I don't want to be here.

Why?

Because...

Don't think. Just talk.
I can't talk about it.

Sure you can. no, I can't.
Not about...

About what?

About what, jeremy?

Rison.

Who? I like to see
justice prevail.

P.F.C. Mark rison. He
was my best friend.

Hey.

It... it hurts.

Where are you? You in iraq?

I gave him my place.

He had a bad ankle.
He was walking.

So you switched places?

Sniper, 5:00!

And then he got killed!

Okay? I mean, don't you get it?

It should've been me, not him.
No, you were doing him a favor.

That doesn't matter, man.
He is dead, and I'm not!

Is that why you want
to kill yourself?

Just leave me alone, please.

What aren't you telling me?

Look, whatever it is,

You'll feel better
if you tell me.

No, I won't.

I'm messed up, man.

I'm sick.

I'm a terrible person, and
I don't deserve to live.

Why are you a terrible person?

Because I'm glad!

Okay?

I'm glad that it was
him and not me.

Listen to me.

You didn't do anything wrong.

And what you're feeling...

That's only human.

Wanting to live is the most
basic instinct we have,

And it doesn't mean you
didn't love rison.

You did.

I know you did.

And we're gonna talk about it...

And you're gonna feel better.

You're gonna feel better.

Dad, we're home!

Well, look who's back.

Yes, you should've seen it!

They had the biggest water slides!
Yeah? How was it, katie?

Good. okay. You guys...
bath. Both of you.

Me first! hey, you
were first last time!

Nuh-unh. Yes, you were.

So...

I'm sorry.

I should've told you I was up

For this fort carson
thing sooner.

Fact is, I just didn't think

I'd heal fast enough to qualify.

I need you around more, chase.

If you want to be part
of this family...

You're gonna have to earn it.

I'm not gonna cover
for you anymore.

I won't.

I want you to... Quit delta.

I've really thought about it.

Delta's the problem.

Pamela, I have to
report to fort carson.

My orders are cut.

Okay.

Great. I'm just, um...
I'm gonna need...

Your decision when you get back.
