Unique Translation English Previously
on "army wives"... Mommy is pregnant.

Your mom's having a baby. Why?

C.J.?

Grace? oh, my god. It is you.

Ohh. If anyone was gonna have
a brilliant career in law,

The smart money was
on your mother.

Michael, I want to finish my law degree.
And I'm all for it.

Yeah? Absolutely.

Boy's going back to the barracks. He's
getting a medical discharge, isn't he?

What for? He almost
killed himself.

Please just let me
have my son back.



I cannot release a soldier who's
been declared fit for duty.

Are you okay?

I mean... Are you really okay?

I need to get back to my unit.
I want to.

I want you to... Quit delta.

Pamela, I have to report to fort carson.
My orders are cut.

I'm gonna need... Your decision.

Holler when you need a refill.

Dessert, anyone? Are you kidding?
After all that catfish?

Now can you take a break?
You said you had news.

Yeah, what's going on?
We are moving.

Mm. what?

Yeah, our housing upgrade came through.
Oh, congratulations.

Yeah, it kind of makes up for the morning
sickness, I think. Where's the new house?



That's the best part. It
is two blocks from you.

We're gonna be neighbors again.
Wow! That's great.

Yeah, it's, uh, three
bedrooms and a laundry room.

It's practically a mansion. mm.

And we sign for it in two weeks.

Well, I can't wait to see it. The
kids are gonna go crazy. Mm-hmm.

On the subject of
kids, actually,

I told the babysitter I'd
be back 20 minutes ago.

Sorry, guys. But it was fun.

And I'll see you later. Thanks.
Bye. Okay. Bye.

♪

When's chase home?

Two days.

Oh, that explains it. Mm.

She's got a lot on her mind.

Yeah. Have they
made any decisions?

No. That's the problem.

She's just been waiting.

Debbie?

Hey.

Chase.

♪

I had the chance to grab an
earlier hop, so I took it.

I wanted to see you.

I missed you, pamela.

I missed you, too.

I thought a lot
about what you said

Before I left.

And?

And... I want this to work.

Me, too.

Good.

So, um... so what does...
That mean?

I love you, pamela.

And you're leaving delta?

Well, it's not that simple.

So... So that's a no?

Why does it have to
be "yes" or "no"?

Because that's the
way we left it.

No. No, that is the
way you left it.

But there are two people
in this marriage.

Can we not talk about it?

We have talked, chase.

Talking hasn't worked,

So I tried to make it... Simple.

But it's not simple.

But it is to me.

Well, I don't think you
throw away 13 years

Without talking first.

You know, it's... it's late.

I'm tired.

Pamela...

No, chase. I'm really
glad you're home,

And I'm glad you're
safe, but I...

I just can't deal
with this right now.

I really... I can't.

Now why is there a spaceship
in the living room?

It's not a spaceship. It's a new sofa.
And put it back.

New sofa? You don't want that ratty
old thing in the new house, do you?

I know, it's a stretch.

But the tip jar's been
janglin' at the hump lately.

I ink we could swing it.
What do you say, babe?

Can we get a new spaceship?

Think about it.

Boys, breakfast.

In a minute!

Lucky, no! Ugh! Ah.

Bad dog! Bad, bad dog!

Babe, he didn't mean it.

I know he didn't mean it.
He never means it.

He didn't mean it when
he chewed the table legs

Or when he scratched the
paint off the front door

Or when he ate my robe.
He didn't eat it.

Well, he ruined it. I swear,
I don't know if I can live

In that new house with that mutt.
Bad dog!

I want waffles.

Eggs have more
proteinkatie, fewer carbs.

It's better for you.
Once I saw this movie

Where a boxer drank raw eg.
"rocky." that's right.

Gross. Hey, it worked.

The gubecame champion
of the world.

Actually, I think he
got beat in that one.

Well, he, uh, went
the distance anyway.

Good morning.

Hey, mom. Dad's making breakfast.
I can see that.

Somebody turned off my alarm or
I would have done it myself.

I thought you could use the sleep.
Yeae carpool without taking a shower.

Dad's taking us to school. What?

They don't expect me to
report till tomorrow.

Wow.

Dad says we can go out
for dinner tonight.

If it's okay with your mother.
We can talk about it.

Okay, who's ready for a plate
full of protein? I am.

Ooh!

Caught it! Yes. Nice.

So?

I think this is great.

Really?

I-I'veeen advising emmalin

On her college
applications for months.

With my own, I've
lost all perspectiv

Any law school would be
lucky to have you. Thank u.

Well, it's true. I am
so excited for you...

Going back to get your degree.
Mm. Michael's

concerned I might be
taking on too much.

I can understand that.

You have a pretty full plate, claudia joy.
I always have.

Yeah.

Hmm. I really want to do this.

Well, then you should.

You have to take good
care of your health,

But I've always said that
you could do anything

You set your mind to.

Okay.

So you're sure there isn't
anything you would change here?

Positive.

Because once I hit send,
The deed is done.

Send away.

Okay.

I'm so confused.

You know, I give him a
yes-or-no question,

And chase is a yes-or-no guy...

And I wait... I
wait all this time,

And he comes back
with, "let's talk."

Mean, what the hell am I
supposed to do with that?

Well, how did you leave it? I went to bed
last night, and I didn't say anything,

And then this morning...

He made breakfast,
drove carpool,

Made me give him my grocery list

So he could do my
shopping for me.

I don't know. It sounds
like he's trying.

We've been here before, roxy,

And it never lasts, so
I don't believe it.

Are you sure?

No.

That's why I'm here.

Right.

He comes home, and
all of a sudden,

He's super-loving husband...
And my...

And my heart... Melts,

And my bin says,
"careful, honey.

You know, you're
smarter than this."

Keep talking. I'm listening.

We, the thing is, I
drew a line in the sand

Because I needed to.

I need things to change.
I really do.

But, you know,
it's like he said.

How dwithout... ow away without
even talking about it?

But then what the hell
is there to talk about?

Because I say, "ian't
live like this,"

And he says, "I'm sorry."

So what do you do?

Ohh. I think I'm going crazy.

Hey.

Roxy, you there? You fall in?

Can you take me to the hospital?

I'm bleeding.

Hey. Where is she?

Um, the doctor's still with her,

But they said u could go in.

Okay. Take it easy,
a couple days.

I'll give you two a minute.

I lost the baby.

I'm okay.

Yeah?

There wasn't any heartbeat.

They don't know what went wrong.

It was the first trimester,

So it could have been
a number of things.

Well, these things
happen, right?

But it never happened to me.

It's okay.

Listen, I'll pick up
the kids at school,

And they can stay at
our house tonight.

Oh, god, the boys. We
have to tell the boys.

Babe, don't worry about that. yeah, I'll
just say that it's a special sleepover.

You guys are both working late,

And I'll stop by and grab
some clothes for 'em. Okay.

And if you want me to, I could
maybe make a few calls...

Call our friends
and let 'em know.

That would be great. Thank you.

Hey there. Frank.

I'm glad I caught you before your shift.
Why, what's up?

Well, I may be talking a
little out of turn here,

But I ran into captain
thompson today,

And he tells me that
jeremy is getting bumped

up to specialist. Frank,
that is great news.

Yeah. Yeah, it is.

Our boy's come through the
other side better and

stronger. We should call
to congratulate him.

No, we can't. He's on maneuvers.
Oh.

Besides, he's gonna want
to tell us himself.

So when he does, act surprised. Got it.
Hey, I had some time before work.

I was gonna run some errands.
You want to grab lunch?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah?

Oh. it's pamela.

Hey. What's up?

It's time.

Here.

Did you call the hump?

Chief's got it covered.

Hey. These okay?

T.J., finn? Good.

And I'll go get toothbrush
and toothpaste.

The boys are particular
about their toothpaste.

Thank you.

How you feeling? Tired?

Mm-hmm.

Hey, hon. I put some
food in the fridge.

Don't forget to eat, especially
with that medication.

I've got a shift, but keep
my cell number close.

And stay on the schedule
with those pills.

Don't wait till you're in pain.

They... they take a while to kick in.
Got it.

All right, we're gonna get
out of your hair, okay?

Okay. Get some rest. Love you.

Thanks.

She's resting. Good.
She needs it.

Dishes are put away. Can I help?

Uh, this is the
last of it, thanks.

All right, everything's in here.
Perfect.

I, uh, put some books
in there for finn, too.

He likes to read
with a flashlight.

Yeah, I know the drill.

Right, of course.

Hey, don't worry about
the boys, okay?

Yeah, and you let us know
if you need anything.

Thank you.

I can stay longer.

That would be great.

Uh, I'll walk you guys out.

Hey, roland?

Look, I know you're busy,

But, uh... no. It's okay.

I don't know what to do...
About rox.

I mean, do I try
and cheer her up?

Do I... Do I let her cry?

Do we... Do we try to get
pregnant again right away?

I'd let roxy bring that
up when she's ready.

As for her feelings,

You can't force things.

She needs to deal with her
sadness in her own way.

So do you.

I'm okay.

It's a loss... For both of you.

You know, one minute,
everything's fine,

And the next, you
get a phone call.

I was just really looking
forward to meeting our kid.

Claudia joy?

Sorry. I-I didn't
mean to disturb you.

No, I was awake.

You should sleep.

Don't go.

Okay.

I feel so bad...

especially for trevor.

He really wanted this baby.

He wanted this baby so much.

He had picked out names...

Girl names, mostly.

He really wanted a little girl.

Honey, don't forget your bike.

Good shot, son.

It was so cool, mom.

We got to build our own tacos for dinner.
I want to talk.

Could we do that,
too, some time?

If you want to build
tacos, we can build tacos.

Yes! I want to talk.

Okay. Give your
brother a turn now.

Okay. Hi, mom.

Hey. Did you get a
good night's sleep?

Yes, and they have
better cereal here.

Bye! oh.

Hey, everybody, I
want you upstairs,

Teeth brushed, backpacks packed

And your homework
in your folders.

And hurry up! Hey.

Hey. Sounds like they
had a great time.

Yeah, actually, we all did.

Thank you so much.

Oh, please. Forget it.
How you feeling?

Uh... Still a little
crampy, but I'm okay.

You need anything?

No. I have enough food here t.

Okay. Well, um,
I'll drop by later,

Um, and just let me know
if anything changes, okay?

Bye.

How's roxy doing?

She's better.

Hey, thanks for being

Such a big help with
the kids last night.

Oh, of course.

I know we need to talk,

But 's been crazy with
roxy and everything.

Take care of what you need to.

Then we'll talk. I won!

It wasn't a race.

I'll see you after work.

Hey, babe, we'rback.

Lucky shouldn't need another
walk till I get home.

Are you sure you don't
want me to stay today?

Positive.

You've missed enough
work already.

And what would you do anyway,

Just watch me sleep all day?

Sounds good to me.

I'm fine, trevor. Really.

Okay.

But I'm 15 minutes away.
Don't forget that.

Go.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay.

What?

You've been walked.
You've been fed.

Go do whatever it
is you do all day.

Go on. Get.

Go, dog!

Mom?

What are you doing home?
Hey, I don't know.

Heard they had some pretty
good food at this joint.

Banana bread and sweet tea?
Yes, ma'am.

You got it. How were maneuvers?

Well, good.

Yeah?

Guess what, mom.

Tell me.

You are now talking to
specialist sherwood.

Jeremy, that is wonderful.
Congratulations!

Thank you. Did you tell dad?

Uh, nope. You're
the first to know.

Oh! Well, in that case, I'm
cutting you an extra big slice.

Actually, mom, there
is something else.

What?

Um... I'm gonna reenlist.

What?

W-what I mean is, I'd
like to reenlist.

Jeremy...

My contract's up
in a few months...

Just when I'm starting to
get more responsibility.

I can do more. It's like I finally know my
job. Have you been talking to your father?

No. He has no idea about this.

Look, I know

I may have signed up for
the wrong reasons...

But I'm older now, and
I've learned a lot.

What about college? I still
want to go to college.

When? You're already
falling behind.

Mom, I have plenty
of time for college.

You'll redeploy.

You'll go to afghanistan.

You know that.

I know.

But, mom, I won't do this
if you don't want me to.

That's why I came here.

I know what I've put you through
these last few years...

And there is so much that
I wish that I could undo.

But you always stood by me.

And I don't want
to hurt you again.

So if this is gonna be too much,

You say so... And I won't do it.

What are you doing, dog?

Okay, okay. I get it.

And I appreciate the
"man's best friend" bit.

But I'm fine. Jeez.

Jeremy said it was up to you?

He said he didn't want
to hurt menymore.

What did you tell him?

Everything in me wanted to
shout" no, don't do it."

But for some reason, I didn't.

I just told him I-I couldn't
give him an answer right away.

It's really remarkable,
denise, what he did.

It's very loving.

I don't want him to
reenlist, claudia joy.

We almost lost him once.

And the idea that
he'd do this again...

I just couldn't bear it if...
I know.

But how can I stand in his way?

But if I say yes and he
doesn't come back...

I would never forgive
myself, never.

Hey.

I figured out why the lightbulb
keeps burning out in this lamp.

What I did was... Chase...

We both know that
we need to talk,

So let's talk, okay?

Okay.

I asked you for a yes or a no...

And you said it's complicated.

Yes or no isn't
complicated to me.

So why don't you talk?

I've got a proposal.

We meet each other halfway.

How do you halfway leave delta?

Hear me out. I will leave
delta, just n right away.

So you're not leaving?

Are you gonna listen to me?
I'talking about a compromise.

I stay in delta four more years.

That's your compromise?

Chase, four years
is a long time.

This family needs you now.

And what's gonna be
different in four years?

I make it to sergeant major,

Help train the next
group of operators,

Then I quit... done deal.

I've worked my whole life to
get to this point, pamela.

Don't make me choose.

Four years?

And that'd be it.
I'm out of delta...

No questions asked.

Chase, I understand that you
have to go out on missio.

I understand that
you get called away

At a moment's notice.

But... Your heart
is there, not here.

From now on, it wot be.

You go to their games,

Their dance recitals,
parent/teacher conferences,

Whenever you possibly can.

You help with their
science projects,

Their book reports
whenever you can.

I will do all that, I swear.

This family has to be
the priority, chase.

It has to be for this to work.

So are you saying yes?

I'm not saying anything.

I'm... Still thinking about it.

What's there to think abt?

Do you still love me?

That is not what this is about.

It is what it's about,
Because I ve you.

Mm.

Good morning.

Mm. Morning.

You sleep good?

Yeah. You?

So you had sex?

Yeah.

I thought you were
just gonna talk.

Yeah, we talked, and
then we had sex.

Okay.

I know. I'm so tough, right?

He says, "baby, I love you.
Let's compromise."

And all my lines in the
sand, all my big talk,

It's right out the window.
Next thing I know,

I'm all over him
like some teenager.

So how was it?

Amazing...

Clothes ripping, nothing
else matters...

That kind of moment.

Hey.

You sure you're okay with
me talking about this?

I really don't have to... I'm fine.
I'm fine. Really.

So you had great sex with your husband.
That happens.

Yeah...

Just not usually
when you're talking

About getting a divorce.

Everything was so clear
before he came home.

So what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

Any ideas?

That's unfair.

You're my best friend in
the whole world, pamela.

The idea of us being
neighbors again,

The kids underfoot every
day driving us crazy...

What do you expect me to say?

You have to do what's
right for you,

What makes you happy.

Yeah...

If I even kn what
that was anymore.

It was all black and white.

Now everything's gray.

I hate gray.

"claudia joy holden."

Yes.

Nigel miller, dean of admissions.
Hello.

This way.

Thank you for coming by.

Of course.

It's not every day
we have an applicant

Who dropped out of
harvard 20 years ago.

Uh, no, sir. I suppose not.

You say you withdrew
in your third year

For... "personal reasons."

Can you elaborate?

Ahem. Sure.

It was a, um...

It was a fatal car accident
involving a pedestrian.

I was the driver, and, uh,

It was unavoidable. No
charges were filed.

And I needed to take some time.

I see. But you never
returned to law school.

I was planning to.

My life took a different turn.

I met my husband, and he
was assigned overseas.

And the, uh, occasion
to resume my studies

Never presented itself.

Until now.

Yes. With my daughter about
to graduate high school,

I finally have the opportunity.
Better late than never?

Not exactly.

That was a rhetorical question, ms.
Holden.

Nevertheless, carolina law has
a limited number of spaces

For transfer applicants.

We don't want to be the cure-all
for empty nest syndrome.

Of course not.

Do you actually intend to sit
for the bar in south carolina?

That would depend how long my
husband remains posted here.

I do intend to sit for
the bar somewhere.

I've, uh, I've already
demonstrated my commitment

To advocacy within
the military system.

I've initiated change
in a variety of areas.

Uh... Educational counseling,

Um, domestic violence,

Adult education for spouses...

Yes, I noticed all that on
your application. Impressive.

Thank you.

I'm simply wondering, with your
current level of involvement,

Why you need a law degree.

Dean miller, my husband won't
be in the military forever,

And a degree would allow me to
practice in the civilian world.

While we're both still
in the public sector,

I'd like the knowledge to be
able to do the best job I can

For military families, and
I am determined to be

The best prepared
student in my class.

And I believe that my life
experience and perspective

Would be a significant
asset here at carolina.

Mm-hmm. Well, thank
you for coming by.

We'll be in touch.

Thank you for your time.

Mm.

Hey, babe. Everything all right?

Yeah, everything's fine.

Uh, I'm just calling
because there's an ad here

For sofas, half off.

I thought maybe you could
stop by the furniture store

After work and get a good one.

Okay, rox,

Uh, we really don't
need a new couch.

Yes, we really do.

We've got this great big house
and nothing to put in it.

Can we talk about
this later, please?

Well, the furniture
sale's only today.

Come on, trevor.

It's a housewarming
gift to us from us.

I wanted to tell you
when I got home.

Tell me what?

Babe, we didn't get the house.

What? But they told
us it was ours.

It's... w-we qualified because
we were having three...

Three kids, but...

But now we're not.

I'm sorry.

Babe?

Um, it's fine.

You should get back to work.

I will see you when
you get home, okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

Excuse me. Okay.

Sweet.

Excuse me, sir. We're
ready when you are.

Thank you. Excuse me. Okay.

Group, attention.

Hey.

You guys. Someone must've
made some calls.

I didn't think you'd mind.

Thank you. Yeah.

Good afternoon, ladies
and gentlemen...

Soldiers... Families...
And friends.

It is an honor to witness
these brave warriors

Reaffirming their commitment
to serve our country.

Knowing the hardships of battle,

They have chosen once again

To stand with their
units and each other.

That's why I want to thank
you for renewing your oath.

But I also want to
thank your families,

Who take an unspoken
oath of their own.

Whenever the army
enlists a soldier,

It signs up a family as
well, and because of you,

We are the strongest
fighting force in the world.

Please raise your right
hand and repeat after me.

I... state your name-
do solemnly affirm...

I, jeremy sherwood,
do solemnly affirm...

To support and defend

The constitution of
the United States

Against all enemies,
foreign and domestic...

that I will support and defend

The constitution of
the United States

Against all enemies,
foreign and domestic...

To bear true faith and
allegiance to the same...

That I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same...

And that I will obey the orders

Of the president of
the United States

And those officers
appointed over me...

That I will obey the orders

Of the president of
the United States

And the officers
appointed over me...

According to regulations

And the uniform code
of military justice...

According to regulations

And the uniform code
of military justice...

So help me god.

So help me god.

Congratulations. All the way!

Airborne, sir!

When I call the soldier's name,

Will the family of that soldier
please join us up here?

Thank you.

Specialist jeremy sherwood.

Good to have you
onboard, specialist.

Yes, sir.

I'm proud of you, son.
Thank you, sir.

Thanks, mom.

All right.

Corporal holly h. Lowell.

You know, jeremy told me...
What you did.

Hmm. About how he asked
for your permission

To re-up the other day,
and you gave it to him.

Yeah. It wasn't easy.

No. Why didn't you
tell me, sweetheart?

I don't know.

I was planning on
it, eventually.

You know, you're the one
with the real courage

In this family.

Hey, you guys.

We need to have a family
talk for a minute.

Okay.

So it turns out

That we're not gonna have a
little brother or sister,

The way we'd planned. Why not?

Um...

Because mommy got
sick the other day,

And I went to the doctor,

And she said that it's
not our time after all.

Oh.

Now just because it didn't
work out this time,

It doesn't mean it's not gonna
work out sometime in the future.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Yes, I am.

You coming to bed any time soon?

Yeah. Yeah, in a minute.

Okay.

Michael? Yeah.

I love what you said today.

Okay. Okay.

What? Guess.

Um...

I'm in! Carolina law.

You're kidding. They told you already?
Yeah. E-mail.

That's fantastic.

I know. Mmm.

Mmm. Mmm.

Where were you?

"the ceiling was blackened..."

All right. What
page are we on now?

67.

I thought you were asleep.

Okay.

Okay, what?

Your compromise?

The halfway thing?

Okay.

Pamela...

But if you tack on a couple
of years at the end,

I swear to god, chase...

We are gonna make this work.
