Army Wives (2007–2013): Season 6, Episode 20 - The War at Home - full transcript

Previously on Army Wives...

I can't respect a man who won't
take responsibility for himself.

Come on, what are you doing?

Gloria!

Gloria!

- It's a boy.
- Oh, my God.

A boy?

What about the other one?

Uh, nothing yet.

Baby is floppy and blue.

- What's wrong with the baby?
- We have a great team,



and they're doing
everything they can.

Drew's gonna stay here
for a little bit longer.

- You're just gonna leave him here?
- Afraid so.

For how long?

Until the doctors
say he's ready.

Michael, look out!

Get down! Get down!

Shots fired!

Shots fired!

General Holden!

Mrs. Sherwood!

Frank!

- Frank?
- Sir, please stay down.

I'm fine. Help him.



Ready? One, two, three.

Airway's clear. He's breathing.

Come on. Move it. Move.

Gunshot wounds to
abdomen and shoulder.

Let's get some tape.

One, two, three.

Frank!

Coming through!
Straight to the OR.

Sorry, sir. Medical
personnel only.

Let's go, people.

Saline's open.

where is he?

- He's in the OR.
- Is he okay?

He was shot in the
shoulder and the torso.

Oh, my God.

Stat ex-lap for gunshot wound,

left thoracoabdominal region.

No exit.

- I'll need a vascular tray.
- Yes, doctor.

Let's be alert for
some massive bleeding.

Here's what we know
at this hour...

An unidentified gunman
fired several shots

at General Michael Holden

as he exited the stage here

at the 100th anniversary
celebration at Fort Marshall.

General Holden was
pushed to safety

by a fellow officer...

Who was taken to the hospital
with gunshot wounds.

Hi, Gloria.

- I'm watching the news. It's awful.
- I know.

I-I'm at the hospital now.

You are? Is General Holden okay?

He is, but, uh...

But Frank Sherwood was shot.

Oh, my God. How is he?

He's, uh, being
operated on right now.

I'll... I'll let you know
as soon as I hear anything.

Please.

And let Denise know
I'm praying for her.

I will.

There it is.

Let's keep on that.

All right, removing
packing, left quadrant.

All right. Clamp.

Scissors.

He's out.

Here.

Ohh.

Got him?

We're back.

Shh! The baby's sleeping.

Oh.

We're back.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Thank you.

Any word on Frank?

Can we see the baby?

Yeah, just keep it down.

Shh.

- They seem okay.
- They're great.

Like I said, we were
already at the car

when the shots were fired.

Thank God.

And Finn's teacher called.
They're all safe.

Good.

Now we just need Frank
to pull through.

Yeah.

How is he?

He's still in surgery.

Oh.

The gunman was identified
as Ryan Kellner,

33-year-old day laborer.

Did odd jobs

as well as bleacher
construction for the ceremony.

We think that's how he
smuggled in the gun.

That makes sense.

Jackie Clarke bumped into him
yesterday at the bleachers.

That's why she recognized him.

Yeah, the police found a
video on his home computer.

Planned to die a martyr.

Wanted to start a revolution.

- A crackpot.
- Yes, sir.

He had 2 extra magazines,
13 rounds each.

Could've lost a lot
of lives today.

Let's hope we don't lose any.

- Scissors.
- Scissors.

Okay.

Electrocautery.

Okay.

He's out of surgery.
He's stable.

Now the gunshot wound
to the shoulder

was superficial.

The abdominal wound was
a bit more serious.

Uh, we got the bullet,

but we had to take
out Frank's spleen.

Is that bad?

- Well, medically, he doesn't need it.
- No, that's correct,

and as long as Frank
takes care of himself,

there really shouldn't
be any problems.

- He can remain on active duty?
- Absolutely, sir.

Can I see him?

Once he's out of recovery.

Okay, thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Major.

Of course. We got lucky today.

Oh, my God.

Colonel Sherwood is
in stable condition

and expected to make
a full recovery.

- Excuse me, sir.
- General Holden,

considering what happened, do
you think that Fort Marshall

took the proper precautions?

Absolutely.

We did everything within
reason to protect our guests.

Unfortunately, it's difficult
to stop an assassin

who is willing to
sacrifice his own life

to take another's, as
was the case today.

And we can thank
the quick actions

of Colonel Sherwood
and other soldiers

for preventing fatalities.

But let's not let the
actions of a lunatic

overshadow the significance of
this anniversary celebration,

which was meant to honor our
men and women in uniform

and the families
who support them.

It is their sacrifice
and their courage

that we should be talking about.

That's the real story,

today and every day, as
far as I'm concerned.

Thank you.

Frank.

Hey, baby.

Frank.

Drew continues to show
steady improvement.

His respiratory
function is normal.

Blood work looks good.

He has been feeding properly
and gaining weight.

That's fantastic.

He's our little fighter.

He certainly is.

What about, um..

Brain activity?

We haven't been able to detect

any evidence of brain damage.

Really?

So you think he's gonna be fine?

I think he is fine.

Whew.

You can take him home.

Now?

Now.

Hello.

I'll have a nurse get
the paperwork together.

Thank you.

Hi, Drew.

Hi. Yes.

Hello. Yeah.

What do you say, buddy? You
want to get outta here?

Want some company?

Please.

How you doin'?

I'm good, sir.

I just wish everybody would
stop worrying about me.

I assume they explained to you

that you were shot... twice.

Yes, sir.

They mentioned
something about it.

But hell, sir.

That was... That was hours ago.

They got the guy, right?

Yeah, yeah, they got him.

Listen, Frank, I...

- Hey.
- Hey.

Look who's here?

- Aww.
- Come here, princess.

Have you heard from Claudia Joy?

Just a few minutes ago.

She was thinking
about flying back.

I told her, we're all okay,

she should stay with
the First Lady.

Oh, of course.

Yeah, but she does send
her love to you both.

I'm gonna get going.

Oh, I didn't mean to interrupt.

No, no, family first.

I'll catch up with you later.

Yeah. Roger that, sir.

Say "hi, dada."

Say "hi."

Hey, sweet pea.

You being a good girl?

Say "hi, dada."

He's adorable, Roxy.

He takes after his father.

Naturally.

Whew.

Wyatt was an angel.

He just went to sleep.

- Thanks, Jackie.
- Are you kidding?

I love hanging out with
children who don't talk back.

Shh.

Shh.

And so it begins.

It's a clean break, which
is actually a good thing.

That means the wrist
will heal faster.

You hear that?

You feel all right, Aisha?

Fortunately, the fracture
doesn't affect the joint,

so there's no need
to reset the bone.

Oh, that's a relief.

So you play soccer, huh?

Yes, ma'am.

This girl from the other team

knocked her down
going for the ball.

Oh. It happens.

Well, your team's gonna
have to go without you

for a few games,

but your wrist should be good
to go in about six weeks.

Six weeks?

I know it sounds
like a long time,

but it'll go by fast.

And in the meantime, you get
to pick out a cool cast.

Pick out any color you want.

I'll send the cast
technician in.

Thank you.

Good luck, Aisha.

Thank you.

Well done.

You got a minute?

I didn't want to say
nothin' in there.

Between Colonel
Sherwood getting shot,

and Roxy's baby having trouble,

and your husband being
deployed and all,

what's going on with me
isn't such a big deal.

But?

But Hector and I are
getting a divorce.

Ohh.

Yeah, there's just no
going back for me.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But I have to say, it
doesn't surprise me.

He's just so immature.

This whole thing's
so embarrassing.

Oh, relax.

I've been through this before
with other army wives.

Yeah?

Yeah, unfortunately.

Well, that's kinda
good, actually,

'cause I could use your help.

Okay. How?

I don't know how
to get divorced.

What I mean is...
Where do you start?

Well, that depends if it's
contested or uncontested.

Do you think that Hector
will agree to a divorce?

Ugh. I don't know.

Hell, no!

We're not getting a divorce.

Be reasonable, Hector.
Our marriage is over.

No, it isn't. I love you.
You love me.

I don't love you anymore.

Yes, you do.

- No, I don't.
- You think you don't.

You're just mad. You're upset.

I'm not upset. We're
finished, through.

Hey, I'm giving Penny
money for the baby.

What else do you
want from me, huh?

You want me to go
back to counseling?

I'll go back to counseling.

I want a divorce.

Look, we can do this the
easy way or the hard way,

but we're definitely doing it.

What, easy way, hard way...
What are you talkin' about?

If you contest the divorce,
we gotta get lawyers.

It takes time, money, and
ends up changing nothin'.

It's stupid.

If it's uncontested,
we get a mediator.

The whole thing's over in weeks.

What are you, some
type of expert now?

I talked to Mrs. Clarke.

Oh, your good buddy Mrs. Clarke.

She knows what she's
talkin' about.

You think you're so smart,

hanging out with the
General's wife.

Would you listen to me?

You could keep everything...
The TV, the weights,

your stupid video games.

I don't care.

I just want this thing to be
over quickly and cheaply.

Well, I'm not doin' it.

Damn it, Hector!

Where are you gonna live?
What are you gonna live on?

Don't worry about me. Just
think about what I said.

You want lawyers?

Well, we'll get lawyers,

but we're definitely
getting a divorce.

Hey, Trevor.

And it's afternoon.

Right. Sorry we're late.

Get this man a cheeseburger.

I think caffeine's
a better call.

How about a nap?

Sorry.

Hey, you knew the job was
dangerous when you took it.

Yeah, but nobody told
me how dangerous.

Welcome to the club, dad.

You guys need me? I
gotta hit up the PX.

We're out of diapers and...

Uh, a few million other things.

You are relieved of
duty, Lieutenant.

Thanks.

I will bring the boys
home when this is over.

- Really?
- Go.

- Whew.
- Go.

Been there.

Hey, I'm still there.

Oh, right.

- Yes.
- Hi.

Back to work, Roland.

- We've got a hungry mob.
- Yes, ma'am.

How's Frank?

Oh, he's great. He'll
be home in two days.

That's fast, isn't it?

Yeah, well, you know Frank.

He wanted to walk out of the OR.

Mm.

Yeah.

Hey, I know that girl.

Aisha?

Yeah, I treated her yesterday.
Broken wrist.

She a friend of David's?

Oh, she's more than
David's friend.

Yes. That is David's girlfriend.

What?

A girlfriend?

From what we can determine,

that means they eat lunch
together at school.

Okay.

Hey, when are we having cake?

Who says we're having cake?

- Mom.
- Slow down, bruh.

I'm still flipping
burgers over here.

Okay.

Hi, Aisha. Remember me?

How's your wrist?

Good.

How do you know Aisha?

Oh, I treated her yesterday

after she got hurt
playing soccer.

She wasn't playing soccer,
she fell off her bike.

I thought you were
playing soccer.

No. She didn't have
any games this week.

None of us did.

Your mom said that you got
knocked down by a girl

going for a ball.

I wasn't supposed to
be riding my bike.

Oh.

So you told your
mom it was soccer?

Okay. Let's go.

Uh, call us for cake?

Call us for cake what?

Please.

Problems?

Well, her injuries
weren't consistent

with a bike accident.

No scrapes or abrasions.

Well, maybe she
fell on the grass.

Maybe.

Why don't you talk
to her parents

when they come to pick her up?

Yeah, I think I will.

All right, men.

Bring it in around me.

Fall in.

Great job. Get cleaned up.

I'll see you back here in 60 mikes.
Dismissed.

Oo-ahh.

Okay. All right, let's go.

Can I talk to you, Sergeant?

What's on your mind, Cruz?

Divorce.

So this other woman's really
carrying your kid, huh?

Yeah.

You shouldn't have been
screwing around, Cruz.

I know that, Sergeant.

I wish to God I hadn't.

So now what?

Well, I found out the army
will help pay for the kid

once he's born.

Until then, I just give
the woman what I can

for health care.

That's the right thing to do.

Yeah, well, it was
Gloria's idea.

But she's still mad at me.

I'm gonna level with you, Cruz.

Sometimes, when
things get broke,

they can't be fixed.

I think this is one
of those times.

But I love her, Sergeant.

Yeah,

but she doesn't love you.

At least not anymore.

It sucks, but you gotta let go.

Yeah, I don't want to.

I know.

I'm gonna tell you something

that no one else in
the platoon knows.

If you blab to anyone,

I'll rip your head off and
feed it to the gators.

Understand?

Gisela's my second wife.

Got married the first
time when I was 18.

Dumbass private, just like you.

Longest 234 days of my life.

You got the makings of
a good soldier, Cruz.

Let the army be your
family for a while.

You'll meet another
girl someday.

And when you do, next
time, you'll do better.

Just think about it.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Thank you so much.

Well, hello, Staff Sergeant.

Afternoon, ma'am.

This is my husband Roland.

Roland, this is Aisha's father,
Staff Sergeant Brad Oakley.

Oh, pleasure. You've
got a lovely daughter.

Thank you.

Yeah.

And this is our friend
Denise Sherwood.

She's a nurse at
Mercer hospital.

Hi.

Denise treated Aisha yesterday,

and she wanted to talk
to you for a minute.

About what?

Well, I'll let her explain.

Uh, this is an
awkward situation,

Sergeant, but, um,

I'm confused about the
nature of Aisha's injury.

Confused?

Your wife said it happened
during a soccer game,

and Aisha's been
telling her friends

that it was a bike accident.

So?

So why would Aisha say that?

I don't know.

Kids say crazy things
all the time, right?

Mm-hmm.

So was it a soccer injury?

If my wife says it was
soccer, it was soccer.

I'm just trying to understand
how Aisha got injured.

You already know.
It was an accident.

Right, but what kind
of an accident?

Are you accusing my
family of lying?

No, of course not.

Look, I'm... I'm...

Come on, honey. We're going.

I resent your tone.

That didn't go well.

Not so much.

Aisha's mom is lying
about soccer,

and Aisha is lying about
the bike accident.

So how did she break her wrist?

You're thinking abuse?

Well, you saw the dad,
how belligerent he was.

Joan says he just got back
from his fifth deployment.

Could be seeing the signs
of residual stress.

Mm-hmm. So could Aisha.

I'm calling a case worker.

Thanks.

Okay.

Okay, what?

I won't contest it.

Oh.

Just tell me what to do
about the legal stuff.

Right.

I moved into the barracks.

You can have the apartment.

I paid the rent
through the month.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey!

What did you do?!

You can't be in here.

They could take Aisha away.

- You need to step back.
- Why are you doing this?

Please leave.

I'm not leaving until you tell
me why you're coming after me.

What did you tell them?

You have to calm down.

Don't tell me to calm down!

A social worker asked me
if I hit my daughter.

How could you say that?

I didn't say that.

I never hit her! I could
never hit my little girl!

Step back, Sergeant.

She's trying to ruin my family.

Get away from her now, Sergeant.

She's spreading lies about
me and my daughter.

We have a problem here?

This man assaulted a nurse.

I didn't touch her.

He refused to leave
a restricted area.

Is that what happened, ma'am?

Yes.

Hands behind your back.

Oh, come on.

Now, Sergeant.

I'll be back for a statement.

Thank you.

Did he hurt you?

No. I'm okay.

Here are three
reliable mediators.

I suggest you meet
with all of them

and see which one's
the best fit.

Gloria.

Sorry.

And here's some army information

on how to handle the
transfer of paperwork.

What am I doing?

What?

What am I staying
here for, Jackie?

I mean, Hector paid for the
apartment through the month,

which is really nice, but
once that money's gone,

I can't afford to
live here by myself.

Well, maybe you can move
in to a cheaper place.

Yeah.

But why stay in
Charleston at all?

I can't answer that.

I can't either.

I just realized that.
Stupid, right?

No.

No, you have been through a lot.

All my family's
back in the Bronx.

I mean, I could live
with my sister rent-free

while I figure out
what to do next.

That makes sense.

But what about Roxy?

How can I leave her

when she really needs
me at the hump?

I can't just run out on her
when she's been so good to me.

I don't think she'd
see it that way.

She's had friends
come and go before,

and one day, she'll
be moving on herself.

It's the army.

Nothing stays the same forever.

I hadn't thought about that.

I just got off the phone

with the Provost
Marshal's Office.

They asked if you
want to press charges

against Oakley for assault.

I don't know.

I think you should.

I pulled his daughter's
medical history.

This should've been
caught a while ago.

What do you mean?

There wasn't anything
unusual in her file.

Not at Mercer,

but the Oakleys transferred
here from Fort Hope.

I got Aisha's records
from the post hospital.

Three visits to the
emergency room

in the last two years.

Nothing stands out
in particular...

A sprained ankle, cut
cheek, broken finger...

But then I called
Cumberland County General,

which serves the
Fort Hope community.

Aisha's been there twice
in the last year.

Once for a broken arm,

once for stitches to
the back of the head.

What?

Abusive parents will do that.

They'll take their kids
to different hospitals

in order to avoid suspicion.

My God.

You did good, Denise.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Denise.

Hey, Joan.

I have a favor.

Sure. What do you need?

It's about Staff
Sergeant Oakley.

I was hoping it would work out.

But you two are so young,

and you barely knew each
other when you got married.

Yeah, but neither
did you and Trevor.

Well... we were older,

more experienced anyway.

I already had one
marriage and two kids,

and Trevor had been in
the army for a while.

True.

Hey, you make a mistake,
you learn from it,

then you move on.

In the meantime,
you've got your work

and you've got your friends.

Look, about that,

I know you've been
counting on me

to look after the
hump and all, but...

Trevor?

I got it.

Thanks, babe.

Please don't hate me, Roxy.

Hate you for what?

I want to go back to New York.

Oh.

For how long?

I don't know. Forever maybe.

I really miss my family.

Don't even think about it.

Really?

I totally get it.

What about you and the
bar and the babies?

You know what? We'll...
We'll figure it out.

You have to do
what's best for you.

I owe you so much, Roxy.

I don't want to leave
you in a bad way.

We're friends, right?

You're my best friend.

And that is why I want
to see you happy.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Hey, you're not gone yet.

I can't help it. I'm emotional.

Oh, I know that.

Come.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

Interrupting what, sir?

Claudia Joy suggested
I bring you a book,

but you got plenty
of books, so...

I thought I'd bring
you this instead.

Ooh. What is it?

A cheeseburger...

Oh, yes.

Fries...

Oo-ahh.

And a chocolate shake.

Oh, my God.

That's not bad for
your stomach, is it?

Oh, who cares, sir?

Don't report me.

Oh, sir, this is above
and beyond the call.

Well...

Between Denise's kidney
and your spleen,

I figure the Holdens owe you

at least a few empty calories.

Well, the debt is paid.

Not exactly.

But it's a start.

By the way, the chief
of staff called.

You're being put up for
the Soldier's Medal.

Oh, now... I don't think
that's necessary.

Yeah, I tried to
talk him out of it,

but the incident was televised.

There's too much evidence.

You deserve it, Frank.

You showed everyone what
the army's all about.

It's just what we do
for each other, sir.

But you did it for me.

Gladly.

We've walked a long road
together, haven't we?

That we have, sir,

good times and bad.

Yeah.

Hey.

Don't let that get cold, huh?

No, sir.

Ohh.

Aisha, you remember Mrs.
Sherwood?

Hi, honey.

I just wanted to talk to you

before your mom came
to pick you up.

Is there anything that you want
to tell me about your wrist

that you didn't already say?

Are you sure?

Aisha,

you're safe here.

You can say anything you want.
You won't get in trouble.

We promise.

I won't tell. I won't.

Aisha.

I'll calm her down.

Okay, I'll get the door.

Mm.

Hi, Mrs. Oakley. Come on in.

What are you doing here?

Where's Aisha?

She's upstairs with
David and Roland.

She'll be down in a minute.

Please, um, sit down.

I'm in a hurry. Aisha?

Mrs. Oakley...

I don't want to talk to you.

You put my husband in jail.

I did not.

I asked a social worker
to call on your family,

that's all.

Your husband created a
disturbance at the hospital.

Well, he was upset

and he had every right to be.

He didn't hurt my daughter.

I know.

You know?

We have Aisha's medical records

from here and Fort Hope

and Cumberland County
General Hospital.

There's a pattern, Mrs. Oakley.

Someone at home has been
hurting Aisha for years.

But I checked the dates
of her first injury.

Your husband was deployed.

I checked the second date.
He was deployed then, too.

In fact, he's been deployed
during all of her injuries

except the most recent one.

So...

It couldn't be your husband

who's been hurting your daughter, Mrs.
Oakley.

It's been you.

You don't understand.

You beat her.

I didn't.

I never meant to hurt her.

It was just a-a push, a-a slap.

Stitches and broken bones.

You don't know what it's like,

with Brad being
away all the time,

and I'm working, and I'm
raising Aisha by myself.

She won't listen.

She's a child.

Don't take her away
from me, please.

Oh, Brad doesn't know.
He can't know.

I'm afraid he has to.

No! I love my daughter.

I'll never... I'll never do it again.
I-I-I swear.

I never meant for it to happen.

But you didn't stop, Mrs.
Oakley,

not even after Brad came home.

You have a problem, ma'am.

But we can help you.

But you can't be with
your daughter right now.

I'm not a bad mother.

I'm not.

Dad, what's gonna
happen to Aisha's mom?

She's gonna be kept
away from Aisha

while she gets help.

What kind of help?

Counseling.

Why didn't she tell me?

She was scared, honey.

I would've helped her.

We know you would have.

But Aisha didn't want to
see her mom get punished,

even after all the awful things

she did to her.

I feel so bad.

We all do.

It's gonna get better
now, for all of them.

That's right.

You okay?

All right.

Mm.

Night.

Night.

We'll see you in
the morning, dude.

You think David understands
what we're talking about?

Not entirely.

It's a hard thing to
wrap your mind around...

Why any parent would
hurt their child.

It's the war, Roland.

I mean, I'm... I'm
not making excuses.

There's no excuse for what
that woman did, but...

These endless deployments,

they take any little
problem at home,

and they make it a
thousand times worse.

I see it every day.

I know.

Mm. I got it.

I got it.

Shh.

Babe.

Shh. Hmm?

What are you doing?

Shh. I'm shushing the baby.

What baby?

Shh.

Okay, soldier, back to base.

Let's go.

Come on.

You've gotta get up
for work tomorrow.

I don't want you sleepwalking
with your platoon.

Hey, come here. Come here. Okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Daddy's asleep.

Welcome back, sir.

It's good to be back, Sergeant.

You look like hell, sir.

I feel like hell, Sergeant.

Those babies are
kicking your ass, huh?

Big-time.

Hope you got enough
gas left in the tank

for the platoon.

We're bivouacking at Range
28 tomorrow afternoon.

Outstanding. Four hours
of uninterrupted sleep

on the cold hard ground

sounds awfully good
to me right now.

Roger that, sir.

Mrs. Sherwood.

I want to apologize, ma'am.

I was totally out of line,
barging in on you like that.

Yes, you were.

I also want to... Thank you

for not pressing
charges against me.

Well, I figure, Aisha's
been through enough.

Her mother's being
kept from her,

and I understand you just
got back from deployment.

It takes a while to acclimate.

Yeah, it does, but
that's no excuse, ma'am.

I hold my men to a
higher standard.

Besides, you were just lookin'
out for my little girl,

and I get that now.

I just never imagined

that my wife could do
something like that.

Well, it's a
difficult situation.

Laura was... was never
like this before.

I just don't understand why
she didn't say something

while I was deployed.

Army wives are taught

not to upset their
soldiers in the field.

I suppose, but something
like this is just...

How's Aisha?

She thinks this
is all her fault.

It's not right.

It's not fair to Aisha.

No, none of it is, but...

You know, with
family counseling,

maybe things will get better.

Yes, ma'am.

Good luck.

All set?

Yeah. I really appreciate the
lift to the bus station.

No problem. Here, I got it.

Thanks.

What'd you do with the
rest of your stuff?

I shipped a few things
back to New York

gave the rest to the
post thrift shop.

That was generous.

It wasn't that much
stuff, believe me.

Oh, excuse me.

Hello.

Yes, this is Mrs. Clarke.

What?

What happened?

How is he?

Okay. Um... thank you.

Yes, um, of course.

I'll... I'll... I'll call right a...
right away.

Yeah. Okay, good-bye.

What happened?

Kevin's...

Humvee flipped in...
In Afghanistan, and...

He's in critical con-condition,

and they're taking
him to Germany.

Oh, my God.
