Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 4, Episode 6 - Evasive Maneuvers - full transcript

It seems unfair that the men on camp in Iraq see their OSU concert canceled due to a storm while the base gets one. Trough Pamela's radio past contacts, with backstage motivation, ...

Unique Translation English

Previously on "army wives"...

I understand your
recovery is going well.

Yes, sir. Looking forward
to rejoining my unit.

Joan, general
Ormond just called.

He needs an o-5 for
an important tasking

At camp endeavor, Iraq.

Sir? They're rebuilding schools,

And it hasn't been going well.

So he wants to send the
best available leader.

I recommended you. Yes, sir.



I won't let you down.

We're going with a princess
theme for her party,

And my wife's got her heart set
on a castle cake. We can do that.

I'm sorry to make such a
big deal out of this,

But my wife's gonna join
the party by video chat,

And I want everything to be perfect
for her. Well, I'm glad you told me.

Before it was gonna be good.
Now it's gonna be perfect.

Check out this cake.

Special order from
the commissary.

A friend of ours bought a custom cake here
the other day and... and he dropped it.

Yeah. It was a total disaster.
So we need another one.

She's out of luck. Don't get
your panties in a bunch, Irma.

There's gotta be something we could do.
You're an angel, Marisol.

Hey, we army wives gotta stick
together, right? You bet!



Medic 29, we're 10-97.

Copy that, medic 29.
Keep us up to date.

I've been to this
address before.

10 bucks says

Husband's gonna say his
wife slipped again.

What do you mean?

What do you think?

Come in.

Sir, did someone call 9-1-1?

Yeah, I did. My wife fell.

Marisol.

well, we're still assessing.

Hi. Hey.

Just finished my shift. I
thought I'd come check on you.

How you doing? Good, thanks.

Embarrassed. mm-hmm.

Gotta learn to watch where I'm going.
How's your head?

Oh, a few stitches. Yeah.

Yeah, my hair will
cover it, thank God.

Hey, listen. Um...

If you're having
problems at home,

There are people on post that
you can talk to. I can...

Thanks. But the only problem I
have at home is closet space.

Too many shoes.

I told you, I-I just
fell down, that's all.

Hey, baby.

Pete.

Mmm.

You remember the paramedic
that took care of me. Sure.

She came to check in on me.
Isn't that nice? Yeah.

I told her I was fine... Hey.

And I'm just a klutz.

You ready? I pulled the car up.
Uh-huh.

Uh, you sure you don't want a wheelchair?
No, no, no. I've got her. I've got her.

Oh, whoop... easy does it.

Easy does it.

Take care.

I'll make sure she does.

Good morning, Charleston.

This is Johnny b. With
your wake-up call.

Hey, don't forget to come out

To our big u.S.O.
Show this week,

Featuring five for
fighting and Wynonna Judd.

Here's a little something
to get your heart started.

♪ Give me a sign, all right ♪

♪ hey, little baby,
give me a sign ♪

♪ give me a sign tonight ♪

♪ you may not find anything ♪

♪ about me that you like ♪

♪ hey, little, baby, if
you give me a sign ♪

Oh, my God.

♪ On and on ♪

Please stop, seriously.

Oh, honey. Married people are
allowed to have fun, too.

Yeah, you're not married people.
You're my parents.

Hey, we're just trying to get
in the spirit of things.

Your mother spent a lot of
time planning this concert

For Winona and those
five for fighting guys.

Dad, it's Wynonna.

And five for fighting is really one guy...
john Ondrasik.

I knew that.

Yeah.

Please promise you're not going
to embarrass me tomorrow night.

Embarrass? Me?

It's gonna be off the hook!

Let's see what you got.
Dad. Uh...

Mom, save me!

Oh! One, two, three,
one, two, three.

This is so not happening.

Mmm, is that coffee I smell?

Good morning. Good morning.

Ahh.

You worked late.

Mm-hmm.

Mmm.

Hey, can I ask you
a hypothetical?

Yeah. Fire away.

What would you do

If you thought a soldier
was abusing his wife?

What's this about?

It's just a hypothetical.

You're okay?

No, I'm fine. I-I promise.

Just looking for information.

All right.

First off, why do
I suspect abuse?

The wife has injuries
consistent with assault.

But she hasn't made a complaint?
Mnh-mnh.

Why not?

Fear, shame, guilt, uh...

These things are complicated, Frank.
You know that.

I do.

And presently... I
mean, officially...

I don't see how much
the army can do.

Oh, I know it's
frustrating, but it's a...

It's a he said/she
said kind of thing.

She wants help, she's gotta talk
to someone, file a complaint,

Get her injuries documented.

Look, no woman should
ever have to go through

Something like that.

So you let me know if there's
anything I can do, okay?

I will, yeah. All right.

Have a good day.

You, too.

Marisol? The girl
from the commissary?

You sure he hit her?

She had a split lip and a cut
on the back of her head.

How do you get
that falling down?

You don't.

Yeah, and my coworker made a
call to her house last month.

Same situation. Ugh. Well,
what more do you need?

I'm just trying to figure
out what to do about

it. Well, it's not about you.
It's about her.

She needs to make up
her mind to walk away.

It's what I did with my ex.

One punch to the gut
when I was pregnant...

That's all it took.
I was outta there.

You know, if you hadn't walked
in on Jeremy hitting me,

I don't know that I
ever would've admitted

I had a problem. It's
a lot to face up to.

Well, you're a real friend.

Maybe that's what Marisol needs.

Does she have any friends
on post, any family nearby?

No. She and her husband were p.
C.S.'ed here three months ago.

I don't know if she knows a soul.
Well, that's not exactly true.

It's worth a shot.

You're right.

Hi.

They told me you were out here.

How's the lip?

What do you want?

I'm worried about you.

There's nothing to
be worried about.

I don't think that's true. I
can see that it's not true.

I put together some
information for you.

Um... The army has classes.

My husband's a good man.

I'm not questioning that.

Yes, you are. You want to get him in
trouble. No, I want him to get help.

But right now, I'm more
concerned about you

'cause you're the
victim here, Marisol.

You are the one being hurt. You don't
know what you're talking about.

Yes, I do.

My son... Used to hit me.

And he's a good person, too.

He was angry and confused.

God, he needed help, and I
didn't know what to do.

So I just... I just let it
keep happening over and over

Till a friend found out, and
she made me face the truth.

He's better now,

But I could've saved
us both so much

If I had just spoken up sooner.

You're new here. I thought
maybe you could use a friend.

Just take it, please?

The army can help, but
you have to ask for it.

The army cannot help.

What do you mean? I have work.

Look, Marisol, I don't
know what experience

You've had on other posts... look, you
don't know Pete. You don't know me.

You don't know anything.

I know what a
beating looks like.

Stay away from me!

Afternoon, sergeant.

At ease. Mind if I join you?

Have a seat, ma'am.

So I understand
congratulations are in order.

Yes, ma'am. Uh, my wife had
our second child last week...

A little girl.

That is wonderful.
What's her name?

Margaret. It was- it
was my mother's name.

Hard to be away at
times like this.

Gotta embrace the suck, ma'am.

I notice you eating
alone lately,

Staying in quarters
more than usual.

Is there something I
should be concerned about?

No, ma'am. Mind on the mission.

You know, I have a
daughter myself.

Sara Elizabeth. She
just turned 1.

My biggest fear is that,

When I get home, she
won't remember who I am.

Ma'am... My biggest fear is,

I don't remember them now.

I mean, I have photos.
I have video.

But when I'm on
patrol, In my head,

I can't see them.

I can't remember what
they sound like.

I understand, but I don't want
you going off by yourself.

It's not good to
bottle things up.

I'm a sergeant, ma'am. I
lead by example. I c...

Exactly. That doesn't mean
shutting down emotionally.

You've got to keep
your head in the game,

And you can't do that

If you're not dealing
with your own problems.

Trust me, sergeant.

You're not fooling
your soldiers.

Look, You're one of my
best young leaders.

If you've got a problem,

Talk to sergeant
Larson, talk to me.

That's why we're here.

We gotta stick together.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, ma'am.

Carry on.

Oh, and, uh...

How come I didn't get
one of those cigars

You were passing out last week?

I'll make a note of it, ma'am.

You do that.

I came on too strong,
and she shut me down.

Look, it's hard to help someone

Who doesn't want to be helped. What was
I thinking? Why would she listen to me?

Denise, you saw a
woman in trouble,

And you tried to help. It
was the right thing to do.

Yeah, maybe, but now I won't be
able to get anywhere near her.

Okay, so what do we do? Well, she
still has to take the first step

And admit that she has a problem.
Maybe I could talk to Michael,

See if he can open an investigation.
Based on what evidence?

Yeah, that was Frank's point. It's
a delicate situation, Claudia joy.

I mean, if this guy
is on a hair trigger,

And we act prematurely,

We could actually make
things a lot worse.

And she doesn't trust the army.

I got the impression she
tried that route before

And something went wrong. Well,
I wish I could talk to her.

It's hard to stand by while a
wife here at fort Marshall

Is being beaten. Maybe you could use f.
R.G. To contact her.

Yeah. I know exactly
how she feels.

I didn't want Jeremy to
get in trouble, either.

It's so hard when you're
hurt by someone you love.

I even kept it from you.

We'll find a way to help her.
Promise.

Tell me something good.

Why? What's going on?

Oh, the usual.

Today, I had to buck up
one of my best sergeants.

His wife had a baby this week.

Hard to handle from
6, 000 miles away.

I really get that. Well,
how's the school coming?

Slowly.

The work you're doing-
it's important, Joan.

You're gonna change the lives of a lot
of children. Well, that's the plan.

So what's going on there?
Uh, well, Sara Elizabeth's

Really enjoying her
Spanish lessons.

She's got her
multiplication tables down,

But her long division
Could use some work.

Roland. I was just kidding.

Everything's good. Uh,
big buzz on post is

A u.S.O. Show.

Aw! I'm jealous.

You know, we were supposed
to get a show last week,

But a sandstorm
grounded all flights.

My guys could really use the lift.
Well, if I could,

I would send Wynonna and
five for fighting over

To play just for you, my dear.

Maybe you can.

What are you talking
about, Joan?

So you wanna broadcast the u.
S.O. Show to your unit?

What do you think? It's brilliant. I
only wish we thought of it earlier.

The concert's tomorrow night.

I can make it
happen on this end.

Can you make it on yours?
Well...

I know a few of the a/v guys
from the radio station,

But I don't know how much
pull I have anymore.

Don't forget, I got fired for
being a little opinionated.

That's exactly what
I need, Pamela...

Someone strong enough
to push this through.

You are the perfect person to
get this done. Will you try?

Well, when you put it like that...
Attagirl.

I'll check in tomorrow.
Night, Joan.

Whew, she's good.

Yeah. She is.

Something smells good.

Chicken and rice.

Mmm.

Mmm, my favorite.

For you.

Pete.

I'm sorry about the
other night, baby.

You know how much
I love you, yeah?

I love you, too. Mmm.

The flowers don't
make it all okay.

I know. I know. I messed up.

Mm.

I was thinking...

Uh, I heard about these classes
on post for people like us.

I mean, maybe we could change.

Maybe... maybe we can be better.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where the hell did
this come from?

You been talking to someone?
No, Pete.

Someone sees us taking a class,
what are they gonna think?

You know how rumors fly. Crap
like that can destroy a career,

But you didn't think
about that, did you?

Did you think about that?
Look at me!

You didn't think
about that, did you?

I get kicked out of the army,
where does that leave you, huh?

I pay for this house! I pay for this food!
Come here. Come here. No, no, no! No!

No! Aah!

Oh!

No! No, Pete!

Pete, Pete, no!

Oh, my God. Marisol.

Help me.

I just wanted him to get help.

Do you have any idea how
brave you are, Marisol,

Coming to my house?

Took real courage.

I had to wait until he was gone.

It's okay.

Sergeant Evans is

In Charlie company,
second battalion.

That's right.

All right. Keep me updated.
Thanks, Frank.

Frank's gonna talk
to Evans' C.O.

Will he get a military
protection order?

From what I've seen, I don't
think that'll be a problem.

Good. I don't want him anywhere near her.
If sergeant Evans did this,

I want that man behind
bars and out of the army.

Have you talked to Mrs. Evans
about pressing charges? Not yet.

Uh, she's too
overwhelmed right now.

It took everything she
had just to leave him.

We need to give her a little time.
Not too much time.

I can't hold sergeant Evans
indefinitely. I know.

As many times as we've seen
this, it doesn't get easier.

No.

Love you.

Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry, Pamela. You
know I would if I could.

I'm short the manpower.

I got a crew on their
way to fort Jackson

Covering a change of command,

Another at Stewart
recording field exercises.

I got another at Bragg, en route...
well, it's just for one night.

I know. But it's tonight. We
wouldn't ask if it wasn't important.

Yeah, I'm sorry. It's
just not possible.

I got a question, George. You
mind if I call you "George"?

You going to the concert?
Me and the wife.

So you like Wynonna? "like"
doesn't even cover it.

How'd you like to meet her?

Left. Left.

(manall chutes ready to go by 2300.
(manall chutes ready to go by 2300.

That means today.

Staff sergeant Cole?

Detail, attention!

As you were. Can I get a minute?

Yes, sir.

So you're sergeant Evans' squad leader.
Yes, sir.

What can you tell me about him?
Pete's a stud, sir.

Honor graduate of the
warrior leader course,

N.C.O. Of the month.
The men love him.

You know his wife?

We've met.

You aware of any
problems at home?

Simple question, sergeant.

Well, she came to see me once,

Back at fort Riley.

Said that Pete was having a...
Little anger problem.

That's how she put it?
"little anger problem"?

She said he hit her, sir. I didn't
see that in his file, sergeant.

No, sir. I spoke to
Pete right away.

He was real busted up about it.
Said it was a onetime thing.

We'd just finished our tour,

And a lot of the men were having a
hard time readjusting. I see, I see.

So you thought you'd
handle it man-to-man?

Did you contact your
platoon leader?

No, sir. And you didn't
conduct a home visit

To ensure Mrs. Evans' safety?
No, sir.

You think it's okay to hit
women, staff sergeant? No, sir!

'cause it sure looks like it to me. Mrs.
Evans never came back to see me, sir.

Why would she?

You didn't do a damn
thing to help her!

Where is sergeant
Evans right now?

Live fire exercise.

Well, I am placing
him under an m.P.O.

You go find him, immediately
escort him to barracks.

He does not go home, he
does not leave this post.

Do you understand? Yes, sir.

And when that's done, report
to my office. Yes, sir.

You're dismissed.

Your husband's being confined
to barracks for 72 hours.

It's, uh, it's called a
military protective order.

What does that mean?

It's like a restraining order.
He can't come near you.

My husband talked to
Pete's squad leader.

Apparently, you went to see him

When you were stationed at fort Riley?
Staff sergeant Cole.

But... He didn't do anything. The army
let you down, Marisol. I'm sorry.

But that's over now.

You will get all the
support you need here.

I was 16 When I met Pete.

My cousin Emilio had
basic with him,

Brought him home on leave.

Pete was... Handsome...
And... funny and...

Loving.

He made me feel like I
was his whole world.

He always had a temper.

But he never laid a hand on me
until after his first tour.

The wives I knew
at fort Riley...

They told me it was the
war that changed him.

I had to be patient...
Understanding.

But it just... Kept
getting worse.

The war is no excuse

For what your husband's
been doing to you.

I tried to be a good wife.

I tried to understand.

None of this is your
fault, Marisol.

I still love him.

That doesn't mean you
should let him hurt you.

What happens next?

That's up to you.

They can only hold
him for three days

Without a formal investigation.

I want to press charges.

Hey, Pamela. We've
got a problem.

Come on. That tiny wire

Is what's holding
up the video link?

This tiny piece of
wire is an antique.

We're talking commodore 64 era.
You know what I'm saying?

No. But we do have a unit
in Iraq expecting to see

A u.S.O. Concert in
just a few hours.

Roger that. But to
make this happen,

I have to pull all this
aluminum line, secure 2 t1s,

Drop 5 ports and
run cat 6 cabling.

Hey, tell me
something, specialist.

You like Wynonna?

I love her.

Ahh. How'd you like to meet her?

Go back there and see
what it looks like.

Look, what you're asking for,

I-it's impossible.

I-I'd need two more techs,

And I'm only budgeted
for a one-man job.

Look... We're talking
about soldiers

Doing their third or
fourth tour here.

You know what that's like.

They deserve a friggin' break.

And right now,
you're the only guy

That can make that happen.

Let me make a few calls.

That's what I'm talking about.

Thank you, specialist.

Please contact the
sergeant major's office.

Thank you.

I hate hospitals.

Just try to relax. Uh-huh. Mm.

The doctor will give
you a complete exam

So we can document

The full extent
of your injuries.

And then, um, you'll
meet with a member

Of the family
advocacy program...

Who'll take a statement. You're gonna
do great. You'll stay with me?

Of course.

Pete! How'd you get
out of the barracks?

Baby, when I heard what was
going on, I had to see you.

I love you so much.
You know that, right?

You know how sorry I am, Ba...

Baby, I never meant to hurt you.

You really need to leave.

Look, I love this woman.
She's my life.

And this is none
of your business.

I don't know what people
have been telling you, baby,

But you can't listen to them.
You can't.

They don't know you the way I do.
They don't know us,

What we've been
through together.

Baby, you're my whole world. We
can make this right together.

Marisol, don't listen to him.
I told you to stay out of it!

Excuse me. I wonder
if you could help me.

I'm looking for a patient... Marisol Evans.
Yes, ma'am. Room 218.

Wow. You memorize every
patient's room number?

No, ma'am. I only remember

Because her husband asked for it
five minutes ago. Her husband?

What do you say?

Let me take you home.
We can start over.

No.

You'll ruin everything.

You stupid bitch! Aah!

Okay, we really need to calm-no!

You owe me.

I give you everything, and
this is how you repay me?!

You are nothing without me!
Nothing!

You need me, Marisol.
Now come on!

I am not nothing!

What'd you say?

What?

Military police.

Sergeant Peter Evans,
you're under arrest

For violating a military protective order.
Look what you're doing to us.

Look what you're doing to us!
You're nothing! Move it!

You're worthless, you hear me?!
You're worthless!

He walked right out
of the barracks.

Just signed himself out.

Who knows what damage he could've done?
Thank God he didn't.

Only because you were
at the hospital. Hmm.

It's inexcusable. I'm gonna
find out who's responsible,

And heads are gonna roll. Michael,
calm down. It's over now.

No, the procedures and the
policies are in place.

This should've never happened.
And I know you'll

take steps to make
sure it doesn't again.

You know, we need to find

A better way to reach
the victims, too,

Make them feel safer
about coming forward.

I think I'll talk to family
advocacy in the morning.

I'd like to go with you.

Yeah? Thank you.

Emmalin, let's go.

Coming!

I think that's everything.

Well, whatever you don't
have you can borrow from me.

I really appreciate you
putting me up tonight.

Of course.

Hey, it's gonna be all right.

Everything's just...
Changing so fast.

My husband's in jail.

My marriage is over.

Oh, my God. Where do I go?
What do I do? Shh.

You can't think about
all that at once.

Yeah. You gotta take
it one step at a time.

When I left my husband, I
was six months pregnant,

$32 to my name, No
job, no place to live.

I spent the first night in
the backseat of my car,

Just crying my eyes out.
What did you do?

Well, I had a friend who
let me stay with her,

And, uh, I spent the next
week curled up on her couch,

Just wondering how the hell
I'd let it get that far.

And then I realized that

That wasn't gonna make
anything any better.

So I got my butt up,
And I found a job

And got a place to live.

And I moved on.

That's what you have
to look forward to.

I'm scared.

Yeah. I get that.

But being scared for the future

Is a hell of a lot better than
being scared for your life.

You okay?

I don't want to be alone.

You're not alone.

In fact, we were thinkin'...

There's this u.S.O.
Concert tonight...

Maybe you could come with us.
I don't think so.

If you don't, you're just
gonna think about everything,

And that will make you nuts.

So just come for a little
while, see how you feel.

We'll leave the minute
you want to go.

Uh... I look terrible. I mean...

I can help with that.

She can. So what do you think?

Come on, let's do it. Yes.

Okay.

Here.

Okay, so I just got off
the phone with Kowicki.

We are good to go on this end.
Outstanding!

My team's expecting a
mandatory training video,

Which they hate. Perfect.

I owe you big-time, Pamela.

Listen, you just come home safe.

Looking after your kid is easy,

But looking after your
husband is a full-time job.

I'll keep that in mind.

Good luck tonight.
Yeah, to both of us.

Whew.

It's an honor to meet you both.
Thank you.

It is a privilege to be here.
Oh!

You know, every army
command has its own coin,

And the 23rd is no exception.

And it is a tradition
to hand it out

For service above and
beyond the call of duty.

I want to thank you
both for coming.

Thank you. It's an honor, sir.

Now if you'd excuse me, I need
to go warm up with the boys.

Don't want to disappoint our troops.
Well, you knock 'em dead.

Thank you, sir. Ma'am. Okay.

Wynonna, our daughter emmalin

Is a huge fan of yours... dad!

Sorry.

Hi, emmalin. It's a pleasure to meet you.
it's amazing that you're here.

Thank you. We have a visitor.

Oh, uh, Wynonna, I
have a huge favor.

It's been a team effort putting
this concert together,

And, uh, I know there
are a few volunteers

Who would love the
chance to meet you.

Oh, absolutely. Bring 'em in.

I have the greatest fans in the world.
Okay. Pamela.

Hi, Ms. Judd.

Uh, may I introduce
Captain George Randolph?

Captain. It's a privilege.
Nice to meet you.

Thank you. Uh, this
is my wife Kelly...

Hey, Kelly. Uh,
her cousin Joe...

Hi, cousin Joe. And, uh,
this is our neighbor Carly.

Hey, neighbor Carly.

It's a pleasure.

And this is specialist
Brian Kowicki.

Hello, Brian. Appreciate you.
Oh! It's really you!

These are my buddies... p.
F.C. Matthews... Hello.

Branch... branch.

And Ortiz.

Appreciate you guys. Hmm.

They're very cute.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The u.S.O. Is proud to
present five for fighting.

Fort Marshall, how are ya?

Hey, b-before we start,
