00:01:39,499 --> 00:01:42,434
[tranquil music]

00:02:19,372 --> 00:02:22,716
[pulsations]

00:02:26,305 --> 00:02:30,265
[helicopter whirring]

00:02:30,342 --> 00:02:33,268
[explosions]

00:02:33,345 --> 00:02:36,905
[gunfire]

7
00:02:38,642 --> 00:02:39,491
Come on!

8
00:02:54,115 --> 00:02:55,591
[metal clatters]

9
00:02:56,952 --> 00:02:57,976
I'm sorry.

10
00:02:58,053 --> 00:02:59,002
I didn't mean to wake you.

11
00:02:59,079 --> 00:03:01,588
I dropped the chart.

12
00:03:01,665 --> 00:03:03,715
It was really clumsy of me.

13
00:03:03,792 --> 00:03:06,968
I haven't seen
you before, have I?

14
00:03:07,045 --> 00:03:08,520
No, I'm Commander Michaels.

15
00:03:08,597 --> 00:03:09,979
I work in the emergency room.

16
00:03:10,057 --> 00:03:11,581
I was there the day
they brought you in.

17
00:03:11,658 --> 00:03:14,517
I'm just here to check your
progress for Dr. Pierson.

18
00:03:14,528 --> 00:03:15,794
Oh, I see.

19
00:03:15,871 --> 00:03:16,686
Well, it's nice to
meet you, Commander.

20
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:19,189
I'm David Hastings.

21
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:20,941
So do those charts
tell you that I'll

22
00:03:21,017 --> 00:03:23,360
be getting out of here soon?

23
00:03:23,436 --> 00:03:25,362
Well, it says it shouldn't
be too much longer,

24
00:03:25,438 --> 00:03:27,873
but Dr. Pierson's gonna have
to be the judge of that.

25
00:03:33,113 --> 00:03:34,237
What's the matter, Commander?

26
00:03:34,314 --> 00:03:35,505
Something crawling on me?

27
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:37,707
[chuckles] I'm sorry, David.

28
00:03:37,784 --> 00:03:39,134
I didn't realize I was staring.

29
00:03:41,663 --> 00:03:43,838
[telephone rings]

30
00:03:43,915 --> 00:03:45,632
Hello.

31
00:03:45,709 --> 00:03:47,342
Oh, hi, Mom.

32
00:03:47,419 --> 00:03:48,385
No, no, it's OK.

33
00:03:48,461 --> 00:03:49,269
You didn't wake me.

34
00:03:54,467 --> 00:03:55,434
Yeah.

35
00:03:55,277 --> 00:03:56,601
Can you hold on a second, Mom?

36
00:03:56,678 --> 00:03:57,802
It was nice to meet
you, Commander.

37
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,731
It was nice to
meet you too, David.

38
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:03,166
Hi.

39
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:04,567
Yeah, they say it looks
like I'll be getting

40
00:04:04,644 --> 00:04:05,735
out of here pretty soon.

41
00:04:05,812 --> 00:04:08,914
[insects humming]

42
00:04:11,359 --> 00:04:13,877
[doorbell chimes]

43
00:04:24,205 --> 00:04:25,297
Matt.

44
00:04:25,373 --> 00:04:29,759
[scoffs] Campbell,
why aren't you ready?

45
00:04:29,836 --> 00:04:30,777
Oh.

46
00:04:30,854 --> 00:04:32,104
Oh, I'm sorry, Matt.

47
00:04:32,180 --> 00:04:35,557
I just-- I completely forgot.

48
00:04:35,567 --> 00:04:39,019
[sighs] Well, can I come in?

49
00:04:39,095 --> 00:04:40,279
Oh, yeah, sure.

50
00:04:46,728 --> 00:04:47,577
What's going on?

51
00:04:47,654 --> 00:04:48,820
Are you all right?

52
00:04:48,897 --> 00:04:49,779
I'm fine.

53
00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:50,914
I'm fine.

54
00:04:54,235 --> 00:04:55,811
Well, it's still early.

55
00:04:55,887 --> 00:04:58,288
Why don't you go get dressed,
and I'll call the restaurant

56
00:04:58,365 --> 00:04:59,789
and change reservations, hmm?

57
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:00,790
I-- I just--

58
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:02,625
I really don't feel up to it.

59
00:05:02,702 --> 00:05:05,178
[ice clinking]

60
00:05:09,376 --> 00:05:12,969
Why don't you just
be honest with me?

61
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:13,928
About what, Matt?

62
00:05:14,005 --> 00:05:16,348
I said I forgot.

63
00:05:16,424 --> 00:05:19,476
[sighs] I don't know
what else to say.

64
00:05:19,552 --> 00:05:21,311
Well, you can start
with what's going on.

65
00:05:21,388 --> 00:05:22,988
You've been avoiding
me like the plague.

66
00:05:26,059 --> 00:05:28,076
I'm just going through
some changes, OK?

67
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,746
Is this part of your changes?

68
00:05:39,823 --> 00:05:41,373
This is none of your business.

69
00:05:41,449 --> 00:05:42,532
I think it is.

70
00:05:42,609 --> 00:05:44,251
There's another man
in your life, Kim.

71
00:05:44,327 --> 00:05:45,377
That's why you're playing
this little game with me.

72
00:05:45,453 --> 00:05:46,711
I think you
better leave, Matt.

73
00:05:46,788 --> 00:05:48,246
Is there somebody else?

74
00:05:48,323 --> 00:05:50,423
Yes, yes, there's somebody
else, and he's right here.

75
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:51,800
Do you hear me,
Commander Rogers?

76
00:05:51,876 --> 00:05:52,926
I love him.

77
00:05:53,002 --> 00:05:54,677
I love him.

78
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:57,689
[dramatic music]

79
00:06:01,678 --> 00:06:03,612
[door slams]

80
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,997
[chuckles] That's the
trouble with angels.

81
00:06:23,074 --> 00:06:24,541
They don't operate on real time.

82
00:06:24,617 --> 00:06:25,825
JONATHAN: Hi, Mark.

83
00:06:25,903 --> 00:06:29,254
[groans] Jonathan, will
you not do that to me?

84
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:30,638
Hey, I'm sorry.
OK?

85
00:06:30,716 --> 00:06:31,965
What's the matter?
You have a bad day?

86
00:06:32,041 --> 00:06:33,091
Yeah.

87
00:06:33,168 --> 00:06:35,093
Tonight's probably
gonna be worse.

88
00:06:35,170 --> 00:06:36,377
Well, what's going on tonight?

89
00:06:36,454 --> 00:06:38,221
[sighs] Colonel
Mahon and I are

90
00:06:38,298 --> 00:06:39,639
going out to dinner together.

91
00:06:39,716 --> 00:06:41,015
Yeah?
Well, that's great.

92
00:06:41,092 --> 00:06:42,150
See, what did I tell you?

93
00:06:42,227 --> 00:06:43,360
You just have to
use a little charm.

94
00:06:43,437 --> 00:06:45,654
No, no, no, no,
you got it all wrong.

95
00:06:45,730 --> 00:06:48,398
She came into my office, almost
ordered me to go with her.

96
00:06:48,475 --> 00:06:51,276
[scoffs] The last thing
in the world I want to do

97
00:06:51,352 --> 00:06:54,279
is spend an entire evening
with Colonel Stiff Britches.

98
00:06:54,355 --> 00:06:56,823
Well, look, there's
nothing I can do about it.

99
00:06:56,834 --> 00:06:58,116
MARK: Yeah, yeah, there is.

100
00:06:58,193 --> 00:06:59,284
You can come with us.

101
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:00,910
I can just call
her up and tell her

102
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:01,911
that I asked you to go along.

103
00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:04,247
Oh, no, I'm busy tonight.

104
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:05,165
MARK: Come on, Jonathan.

105
00:07:05,241 --> 00:07:06,458
You gotta go.

106
00:07:06,534 --> 00:07:08,251
Hey, look, we're
partners, right?

107
00:07:08,328 --> 00:07:11,546
Partners are supposed
to stick together.

108
00:07:11,623 --> 00:07:12,848
Yeah, Mark, I can't.

109
00:07:12,924 --> 00:07:14,090
I've got to take Kimberly
to that first meeting

110
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:16,217
of the Veterans Outreach.

111
00:07:16,228 --> 00:07:18,595
You're just gonna have to
handle her by yourself.

112
00:07:18,671 --> 00:07:20,263
Well, that's great.

113
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:23,650
We'll probably have some
delightful conversation.

114
00:07:23,727 --> 00:07:25,101
Oh, come on.

115
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:25,894
I don't know what
you're so upset about.

116
00:07:25,970 --> 00:07:27,153
I met the Colonel.

117
00:07:27,230 --> 00:07:28,354
She seems like a
real nice person.

118
00:07:28,365 --> 00:07:30,240
Sure, if you like
General Patton in a skirt.

119
00:07:33,019 --> 00:07:35,078
[engine revving]

120
00:07:41,569 --> 00:07:45,172
I'm gonna have dinner
with Ernie Borgnine.

121
00:07:45,248 --> 00:07:47,757
[knocking on door]

122
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:49,759
[deep sigh]

123
00:07:50,787 --> 00:07:54,005
Hi, Mark.

124
00:07:54,082 --> 00:07:55,131
Mark?

125
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,050
Is there something wrong?

126
00:07:57,126 --> 00:07:58,435
Hmm?

127
00:07:58,512 --> 00:08:00,103
No, no, no.

128
00:08:00,180 --> 00:08:04,098
[chuckles] Everything's
just right.

129
00:08:04,175 --> 00:08:05,650
Never seen you like this.

130
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,143
You know, your uniform
covers all your--

131
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:10,104
uh-- [clears throat]
you ready to go?

132
00:08:10,181 --> 00:08:11,323
I'll just get my purse.

133
00:08:15,287 --> 00:08:17,028
I'm sure you're going to
like this restaurant, Mark.

134
00:08:17,105 --> 00:08:18,655
It's called The Natural Wonder.

135
00:08:18,731 --> 00:08:23,117
Oh, Colonel Mahon,
you like it, I like it.

136
00:08:23,194 --> 00:08:26,162
Please, call me Fran.

137
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:28,289
Well, Fran, there's
a nice juicy steak

138
00:08:28,366 --> 00:08:30,583
out there with my name on.

139
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:33,169
Well, I'm afraid they don't
serve meat where we're going.

140
00:08:33,246 --> 00:08:35,004
This is a health
food restaurant.

141
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:37,173
Hey, well I'm easy to please.

142
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:38,341
Shall we go and dine?

143
00:08:38,418 --> 00:08:39,309
Yeah.

144
00:08:42,088 --> 00:08:43,496
What the heck, Gordon?

145
00:08:43,273 --> 00:08:45,482
You can get a nice
piece of meat anytime.

146
00:08:49,220 --> 00:08:54,732
It was my job as chief
nurse to determine which

147
00:08:54,809 --> 00:08:59,988
of the wounded had to be treated
first while the others could

148
00:09:00,064 --> 00:09:01,122
only be comforted.

149
00:09:05,445 --> 00:09:13,042
I was supposed to decide which
of those sons and fathers

150
00:09:13,119 --> 00:09:14,594
was worse off than the other.

151
00:09:19,167 --> 00:09:21,050
Was it the boy who--

152
00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:23,094
whose legs were blown
off when he stepped

153
00:09:23,171 --> 00:09:29,309
on a landmine or the
chopper pilot who

154
00:09:29,319 --> 00:09:31,519
was burned when he was
blown out of the sky

155
00:09:31,596 --> 00:09:32,995
trying to pick up the wounded?

156
00:09:35,433 --> 00:09:40,570
When Linda asked if any
of us had a sense of guilt

157
00:09:40,647 --> 00:09:48,536
as a result of
Vietnam, well, I do.

158
00:09:48,613 --> 00:09:51,506
[sobbing]

159
00:09:54,786 --> 00:10:02,183
Because for 12 months I
was supposed to play God.

160
00:10:07,006 --> 00:10:18,608
And to this day, I still see
those faces, sons who'd never

161
00:10:18,685 --> 00:10:26,449
again see their parents and
husbands who'd never again

162
00:10:26,526 --> 00:10:28,335
see their wives and children.

163
00:11:17,118 --> 00:11:19,836
I was, uh--

164
00:11:19,912 --> 00:11:28,469
[deep sigh] I was working in
special services in the Mekong

165
00:11:28,546 --> 00:11:33,692
Delta, and it was my job to--

166
00:11:36,471 --> 00:11:41,691
[deep sigh] to set up
service clubs, you know,

167
00:11:41,768 --> 00:11:48,197
places where the men could relax
during their off-duty hours.

168
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:50,867
It was a relatively
safe area, so it

169
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:53,962
was pretty common to travel
the roads without incident.

170
00:11:58,785 --> 00:12:03,880
We were running late this
one Friday afternoon,

171
00:12:03,956 --> 00:12:05,798
and we got a late
start back to the base,

172
00:12:05,875 --> 00:12:12,272
and I was the only woman
on the back of the truck.

173
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:18,820
Sergeant Wagner needed
to relieve himself.

174
00:12:21,390 --> 00:12:26,986
He was-- he was just a kid, and
he didn't want to embarrass me,

175
00:12:27,063 --> 00:12:33,284
so he jumped off the
truck, and he ran--

176
00:12:33,361 --> 00:12:36,963
[crying] he went
into the bushes.

177
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,434
Well, that was when
I heard an explosion.

178
00:12:52,547 --> 00:13:03,531
He stepped on a mine, and
he was killed all because he

179
00:13:03,608 --> 00:13:05,942
didn't want to embarrass me.

180
00:13:06,018 --> 00:13:08,953
[sobbing]

181
00:13:18,364 --> 00:13:19,380
Honey?

182
00:13:29,917 --> 00:13:32,811
Honey, you didn't
cause that boy's death.

183
00:13:35,464 --> 00:13:37,807
It was the war.

184
00:13:37,884 --> 00:13:39,475
[sobs] I know.

185
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:41,160
But if I hadn't--

186
00:13:41,237 --> 00:13:46,232
if I hadn't been on that truck,
then maybe he'd still be alive.

187
00:13:46,309 --> 00:13:47,826
And maybe he wouldn't.

188
00:13:50,688 --> 00:13:55,083
Things happen, and
you can't change that.

189
00:14:02,208 --> 00:14:06,010
It's how we deal with them
after they happen that counts.

190
00:14:11,459 --> 00:14:13,101
Honey, I know what
I'm talking about.

191
00:14:18,224 --> 00:14:19,107
Hmm?

192
00:14:48,913 --> 00:14:55,843
[sighs] I'm old enough to be
a mother to any one of you.

193
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:00,990
[chuckles] Maybe even
your grandmother.

194
00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:05,862
But I'm no different
than you are.

195
00:15:11,102 --> 00:15:12,702
My pain's the same.

196
00:15:15,564 --> 00:15:17,749
I just lived with it
longer, that's all.

197
00:15:25,950 --> 00:15:29,377
It was the end of World War II.

198
00:15:29,453 --> 00:15:35,975
I was on Guam working as--

199
00:15:38,587 --> 00:15:40,480
as a nurse and I met him.

200
00:15:45,386 --> 00:15:46,669
His name was Frank.

201
00:15:49,932 --> 00:15:53,818
He was a pilot with
the Army Air Force

202
00:15:53,894 --> 00:15:59,824
and flew his
missions out of Guam.

203
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:07,090
Well, it didn't take long for
us to fall in love, you know?

204
00:16:13,748 --> 00:16:23,723
I mean, we were just two
kids in the middle of a war

205
00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:32,648
I mean, we were just two
kids in the middle of a war

206
00:16:32,725 --> 00:16:34,283
thousands of miles from home.

207
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:49,716
[taps cigarette]

208
00:16:54,580 --> 00:17:01,260
They wouldn't let us
get married, hmph,

209
00:17:01,337 --> 00:17:02,953
but that didn't stop us.

210
00:17:03,031 --> 00:17:15,858
I mean, we found a local
judge to perform the ceremony,

211
00:17:15,935 --> 00:17:25,835
and we spent our honeymoon
night out on the beach.

212
00:17:30,032 --> 00:17:32,708
[chuckles]

213
00:17:32,785 --> 00:17:40,883
Well, Frank's plane was
shot down the next day.

214
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,105
And I was on duty when
they brought him in.

215
00:17:49,510 --> 00:18:00,319
He was hurt very bad, and we all
worked desperately to save him,

216
00:18:00,396 --> 00:18:06,375
but my husband died.

217
00:18:18,539 --> 00:18:20,589
He died right in front of me.

218
00:18:20,666 --> 00:18:24,185
[somber music]

219
00:18:33,012 --> 00:18:37,323
I never got to tell
him that I loved him.

220
00:18:47,484 --> 00:18:49,669
I never got to tell him goodbye.

221
00:18:56,702 --> 00:18:59,178
[crying]

222
00:19:14,887 --> 00:19:17,989
[dramatic music]

223
00:19:35,741 --> 00:19:38,467
You doing all right?

224
00:19:38,544 --> 00:19:40,252
Yes.

225
00:19:40,329 --> 00:19:42,671
You know, I was really
hesitant about going tonight,

226
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:45,466
and I'm really glad I did.

227
00:19:45,542 --> 00:19:47,977
I'm glad you did too.

228
00:19:48,054 --> 00:19:50,054
You know you're
not alone anymore.

229
00:19:50,130 --> 00:19:53,849
Knowing that's very important.

230
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:55,726
Oh, I know Jonathan.

231
00:19:55,236 --> 00:19:57,186
But I also know those
feelings they were talking

232
00:19:57,263 --> 00:20:01,065
about because I've
had them and the pain

233
00:20:01,141 --> 00:20:02,766
that goes along with them.

234
00:20:02,844 --> 00:20:07,246
Well, that's what the group
is for, talking about the hurt

235
00:20:07,323 --> 00:20:08,206
and getting past it.

236
00:20:11,235 --> 00:20:14,420
Maybe sometime you'll share
some of your pain with them.

237
00:20:14,497 --> 00:20:17,423
[melancholy music]

238
00:20:39,522 --> 00:20:41,864
[romantic music]

239
00:20:44,518 --> 00:20:46,610
Mark, you really ought
to finish your tofu burger.

240
00:20:46,687 --> 00:20:47,695
It's very good for you.

241
00:20:47,771 --> 00:20:49,647
I'll bet.

242
00:20:49,723 --> 00:20:51,782
Anything that tastes that bad
has got to be good for you.

243
00:20:51,859 --> 00:20:52,783
I think it's delicious.

244
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:54,601
You do?

245
00:20:54,679 --> 00:20:58,714
[chuckles] Well, I guess I'm
more of a salami, jalapeno man.

246
00:20:58,791 --> 00:21:01,208
Do you know what salami does
to your cholesterol count?

247
00:21:01,285 --> 00:21:02,001
No.

248
00:21:02,077 --> 00:21:03,110
I just know I like it.

249
00:21:03,187 --> 00:21:05,095
I've been eating it all my life.

250
00:21:05,172 --> 00:21:07,298
When was the last time you had
your cholesterol level checked?

251
00:21:07,374 --> 00:21:09,883
The last time I
had my car serviced.

252
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,386
Mark, I'm serious.

253
00:21:12,463 --> 00:21:13,512
I don't know.

254
00:21:13,589 --> 00:21:15,764
I don't think I've
ever had it checked.

255
00:21:15,841 --> 00:21:17,666
That's like
committing slow suicide.

256
00:21:17,443 --> 00:21:21,020
Tomorrow, you're going in
for a complete physical.

257
00:21:21,096 --> 00:21:23,981
Oh, come on, Fran.

258
00:21:23,992 --> 00:21:26,942
That's an order, Gordon.

259
00:21:27,019 --> 00:21:28,152
Yes, ma'am.

260
00:21:28,228 --> 00:21:29,778
Here you go, Fran.

261
00:21:29,855 --> 00:21:30,821
Thanks, Willie.

262
00:21:30,665 --> 00:21:32,356
What's this?

263
00:21:32,433 --> 00:21:34,867
Well, I thought you might
enjoy an after dinner drink.

264
00:21:34,943 --> 00:21:37,128
Hey, that's a little
more down my alley.

265
00:21:37,204 --> 00:21:39,496
[chuckles] To friendship.

266
00:21:39,507 --> 00:21:40,789
And your physical.

267
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:41,882
Hmph.

268
00:21:44,661 --> 00:21:46,837
Ooh.

269
00:21:46,914 --> 00:21:47,838
What is that?

270
00:21:47,915 --> 00:21:50,549
That's not creme de menthe.

271
00:21:50,626 --> 00:21:52,551
Wheatgrass.

272
00:21:52,628 --> 00:21:55,262
Wish they'd have
raked the lawn first.

273
00:21:55,339 --> 00:21:56,188
Pooey.

274
00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:00,400
Believe me.

275
00:22:00,478 --> 00:22:01,602
Once you're used to natural
foods, you're gonna be hooked.

276
00:22:01,678 --> 00:22:02,911
It gives you so much energy.

277
00:22:02,988 --> 00:22:04,355
Yeah, you're probably right.

278
00:22:04,431 --> 00:22:05,197
Oh, my purse.

279
00:22:05,274 --> 00:22:06,032
Oh, I'll get it.

280
00:22:06,108 --> 00:22:07,174
No, you won't.

281
00:22:07,251 --> 00:22:08,192
I left it in the women's room.

282
00:22:08,268 --> 00:22:09,360
You're right, I won't.

283
00:22:09,436 --> 00:22:10,328
Be right back.

284
00:22:13,607 --> 00:22:14,540
Oh, boy.

285
00:22:23,867 --> 00:22:26,752
[chuckles]

286
00:22:26,829 --> 00:22:28,504
[upbeat country music]

287
00:22:28,580 --> 00:22:29,388
How ya' doing?

288
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:39,264
Hey, will you
release that for me?

289
00:22:39,341 --> 00:22:41,475
I don't have a whole lot of--

290
00:22:41,552 --> 00:22:42,393
what are you doing?

291
00:22:42,469 --> 00:22:43,977
Like he's told!

292
00:22:44,054 --> 00:22:44,895
You better too.

293
00:22:44,972 --> 00:22:46,096
Oh, good god.

294
00:22:46,173 --> 00:22:47,907
Oh, yeah, that's a good boy.

295
00:22:47,983 --> 00:22:49,366
Now, don't move.

296
00:22:49,443 --> 00:22:51,485
Put the rest of the
money in the bag.

297
00:22:51,562 --> 00:22:52,403
Come on.

298
00:22:52,479 --> 00:22:53,286
Hurry up!

299
00:22:53,364 --> 00:22:54,613
Come on, the money!

300
00:22:54,690 --> 00:22:55,572
Look, you shouldn't--

301
00:22:55,649 --> 00:22:56,824
Shut up.

302
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:57,741
Come on.

303
00:22:57,818 --> 00:22:58,742
Hurry up.

304
00:22:58,753 --> 00:23:00,369
Hurry up!

305
00:23:00,446 --> 00:23:01,662
Come on!

306
00:23:01,738 --> 00:23:03,038
Give me your money!

307
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:03,956
Don't move.

308
00:23:04,032 --> 00:23:06,092
Don't move.

309
00:23:06,168 --> 00:23:09,086
Don't move!

310
00:23:09,163 --> 00:23:13,549
Yeah, that's a
good boy, good boy.

311
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:15,134
Yes, be still now.

312
00:23:15,210 --> 00:23:18,562
Don't move or I'll
blow your head off!

313
00:23:18,639 --> 00:23:19,930
Stay still.

314
00:23:20,007 --> 00:23:22,483
Yeah, that-- that's it.

315
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,068
Don't move.

316
00:23:24,145 --> 00:23:29,565
Yeah, that's a
good boy, good boy.

317
00:23:29,641 --> 00:23:30,441
Don't move.

00:23:39,526 --> 00:23:41,502
You want some more, turkey?

321
00:23:47,242 --> 00:23:49,093
See what a little
health food will do?

322
00:23:52,122 --> 00:23:53,681
Give me a bottle
of wheatgrass.

323

[humming]

324
00:24:24,321 --> 00:24:26,830
Huh, what's all this stuff?

325
00:24:26,907 --> 00:24:27,789
This is breakfast.

326
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:28,732
You want some?

327
00:24:28,676 --> 00:24:30,334
No, thank you.

328
00:24:30,410 --> 00:24:31,551
How'd it go last night?

329
00:24:31,629 --> 00:24:35,589
Oh, Fran and I
had a fine time.

330
00:24:35,666 --> 00:24:37,232
Fran?

331
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:38,300
What happened to Old
Colonel Stiff Britches?

332
00:24:38,377 --> 00:24:41,720
Well, last night, I
just happened to see

333
00:24:41,797 --> 00:24:42,679
her in a different light.

334
00:24:42,756 --> 00:24:44,314
Oh, sure.

335
00:24:44,392 --> 00:24:46,058
And this-- this new diet,
does it have something

336
00:24:46,134 --> 00:24:47,226
to do with Fran, does it?

337
00:24:47,302 --> 00:24:48,352
That's right.

338
00:24:48,428 --> 00:24:49,686
She's gonna help
me get into shape.

339
00:24:49,763 --> 00:24:51,855
And from now on, buddy,
this is the only kind

340
00:24:51,932 --> 00:24:52,856
of stuff I'm eating--

341
00:24:52,933 --> 00:24:54,307
healthy.

342
00:24:54,384 --> 00:24:55,901
[laughs] So how'd
it go with Kimberly

343
00:24:55,978 --> 00:24:58,070
and her outreach group?

344
00:24:58,146 --> 00:24:59,279
Oh, I think it's
going to help her.

345
00:24:59,290 --> 00:25:01,240
It's just going to take time.

346
00:25:01,316 --> 00:25:02,491
She's carrying
around a lot of pain.

347
00:25:02,568 --> 00:25:05,786
She's gonna have to get it out.

348
00:25:05,862 --> 00:25:06,828
Well, I got to get to work.

349
00:25:06,905 --> 00:25:08,205
You, uh, enjoy breakfast.

350
00:25:08,216 --> 00:25:09,164
I will, kimosabe.

00:25:48,530 --> 00:25:51,623
Albert Zuniga had concluded
its trip to North Vietnam

361
00:25:51,700 --> 00:25:53,417
and had brought back
the remains of five

362
00:25:53,493 --> 00:25:55,836
American servicemen
who had been identified

363
00:25:55,912 --> 00:25:57,671
by the forensics lab in Hawaii.

364
00:25:57,682 --> 00:26:00,591
The five had previously been
listed as missing in action

365
00:26:00,667 --> 00:26:02,884
by the Defense Department,
but today's announcement

366
00:26:02,961 --> 00:26:05,262
officially changes their
status from missing

367
00:26:05,339 --> 00:26:07,022
to killed in action.

368
00:26:07,099 --> 00:26:08,807
The announcement
finally ends the years

369
00:26:08,884 --> 00:26:11,226
of heartache for those families
who have waited anxiously

370
00:26:11,303 --> 00:26:12,936
for word of their loved ones.

371
00:26:13,013 --> 00:26:16,064
To the families and relatives
of those five servicemen,

372
00:26:16,075 --> 00:26:17,899
we extend our deepest sympathy.

373
00:26:17,976 --> 00:26:22,112
They have been identified as Air
Force Colonel Robert Loeffler,

374
00:26:22,123 --> 00:26:24,948
Gardner, Colorado;
Marine Captain Gerald

375
00:26:25,025 --> 00:26:29,494
Taylor of Coronado, California;
Navy Commander Marvin Coyle,

376
00:26:29,571 --> 00:26:32,539
New Haven, Connecticut;
Army Warrant Officer Joseph

377
00:26:32,616 --> 00:26:36,877
Johnston, Billings, Montana;
and Navy Lieutenant William

378
00:26:36,953 --> 00:26:39,338
Campbell of Beeville, Texas.

379
00:26:39,414 --> 00:26:41,097
We salute all of
these servicemen

380
00:26:41,175 --> 00:26:44,009
who have given their lives
for the cause of freedom.

381
00:26:44,086 --> 00:26:47,605
[dramatic music]

382
00:27:00,653 --> 00:27:02,953
[somber music]

383
00:27:16,785 --> 00:27:18,844
I heard the newscast,
Kim, I'm sorry.

384
00:27:24,084 --> 00:27:28,512
[sighs] For over 17 years,
I've been waiting for this

385
00:27:28,588 --> 00:27:29,897
day to arrive, Jonathan.

386
00:27:37,514 --> 00:27:42,993
Dreading it,
preparing for it like

387
00:27:43,070 --> 00:27:46,530
it was some terrible
monster that was going

388
00:27:46,606 --> 00:27:48,666
to come and tear out my heart.

389
00:27:53,697 --> 00:27:59,718
Oh, well, that monster
finally arrived.

390
00:28:08,837 --> 00:28:13,849
The pain I feel today hurts
as much as a day to day Bill

391
00:28:13,925 --> 00:28:14,775
was shot down.

392
00:28:24,186 --> 00:28:26,412
Well, I know how much
this is hurting you, Kim.

393
00:28:29,024 --> 00:28:30,741
But as painful as that
is, Bill's death will

394
00:28:30,817 --> 00:28:35,954
finally allow you to be free--

395
00:28:36,031 --> 00:28:40,250
free of the pain,
free of the heartache,

396
00:28:40,327 --> 00:28:45,338
maybe even free of the guilt.

397
00:28:45,415 --> 00:28:46,473
What guilt?

398
00:28:49,628 --> 00:28:51,845
You had Bill's baby and
then put him up for adoption,

399
00:28:51,922 --> 00:28:54,306
didn't you?

400
00:28:54,316 --> 00:28:57,017
How did you find that out?

401
00:28:57,093 --> 00:28:58,393
Well, I am your doctor.

402
00:28:58,470 --> 00:29:00,437
I had your file.

403
00:29:00,514 --> 00:29:02,322
I saw where you left the
service to have the baby

404
00:29:02,399 --> 00:29:04,616
and then came back in again when
you put him up for adoption.

405
00:29:14,611 --> 00:29:23,168
[sighs] You know, after
Bill was shot down, my whole

406
00:29:23,245 --> 00:29:24,828
world was turned inside out.

407
00:29:27,249 --> 00:29:37,641
Here I was all alone and
pregnant by the man I knew

408
00:29:37,651 --> 00:29:39,851
in my heart was still alive.

409
00:29:43,265 --> 00:29:48,777
Nowadays, I could have
kept my baby and my career,

410
00:29:48,854 --> 00:29:50,871
but back then it was impossible.

411
00:29:55,110 --> 00:29:58,703
But I was determined
to get back to Vietnam.

412
00:29:58,780 --> 00:30:08,463
So after the baby was born,
I put it up for adoption

413
00:30:08,540 --> 00:30:10,140
and went back into active duty.

414
00:30:14,471 --> 00:30:19,024
[sniffles] Bill was
still over there.

415
00:30:21,761 --> 00:30:23,728
I wanted to be the--

416
00:30:23,805 --> 00:30:26,731
I wanted to be there
when he was found.

417
00:30:26,808 --> 00:30:29,276
I wanted to be the one
to treat his wounds,

418
00:30:29,352 --> 00:30:35,707
and I wanted to be the
one to make it all better.

419
00:30:44,034 --> 00:30:46,593
[sighs] But it didn't turn out
the way you expected, did it?

420
00:30:49,890 --> 00:30:52,591
You lost your son, and
now you've lost Bill.

421
00:30:52,667 --> 00:30:54,885
Don't you think I
know that, Jonathan?

422
00:30:54,961 --> 00:30:58,430
I have been living with
that guilt for 17 years.

423
00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:59,565
I have lost--

424
00:31:05,847 --> 00:31:12,611
I have lost two big pieces of
my heart, two pieces I will

425
00:31:12,687 --> 00:31:14,538
never be able to have again.

426
00:31:22,322 --> 00:31:28,335
Kim, you were unable to
treat Bill when he was hurt,

427
00:31:28,411 --> 00:31:29,970
but you are able
to treat his son.

428
00:31:33,541 --> 00:31:34,933
What are you talking about?

429
00:31:37,337 --> 00:31:39,855
The boy in the motorcycle
accident, David Hastings.

430
00:31:43,134 --> 00:31:45,101
He's the child you
and Bill created.

431
00:31:45,178 --> 00:31:48,071
[dramatic music]

432
00:32:07,367 --> 00:32:10,168
David finally fell asleep.

433
00:32:10,245 --> 00:32:15,223
[sighs] He's been pretty nervous
ever since Jonathan called.

434
00:32:19,963 --> 00:32:23,014
Travis, talk to me, OK?

435
00:32:23,091 --> 00:32:25,809
Tell me what you're thinking.

436
00:32:25,885 --> 00:32:27,110
All right, Annie,
I'll tell you.

437
00:32:31,224 --> 00:32:35,110
When David first told
me about all of this,

438
00:32:35,186 --> 00:32:38,238
I was kind of worried about
him meeting his birth parents.

439
00:32:38,314 --> 00:32:42,584
Well, insecure is more like
it, but Mark convinced me

440
00:32:42,661 --> 00:32:46,788
that David's love for me and you
was gonna outweigh everything.

441
00:32:46,799 --> 00:32:48,957
Well, that was before I
found out that David's father

442
00:32:49,034 --> 00:32:52,043
was a Navy fighter pilot.

443
00:32:52,054 --> 00:32:56,214
[scoffs] I'm in competition
with a dead hero.

444
00:32:56,291 --> 00:32:57,799
What are you
talking about, Travis?

445
00:32:57,876 --> 00:33:00,635
You're not in
competition with anyone.

446
00:33:00,712 --> 00:33:04,264
Ah, come on,
Annie, look at me.

447
00:33:04,340 --> 00:33:06,975
I'm no pilot.

448
00:33:07,052 --> 00:33:08,893
I'm just a lousy
grunt whose feet

449
00:33:08,970 --> 00:33:10,070
have never left the ground.

450
00:33:13,641 --> 00:33:19,070
I don't want her to see him,
to talk to him-- no contact.

451
00:33:19,147 --> 00:33:23,500
We have to let David meet her.

452
00:33:23,577 --> 00:33:25,752
[sighs]

453
00:33:28,948 --> 00:33:31,916
Travis, I
understand your fear.

454
00:33:31,993 --> 00:33:34,961
But this competition,
if there is any,

455
00:33:35,038 --> 00:33:37,464
is with a memory, nothing more.

456
00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:40,967
Yeah, well maybe
that's enough.

457
00:33:41,044 --> 00:33:44,054
Why can't she just
leave us alone?

458
00:33:44,130 --> 00:33:45,972
Travis, have you forgotten
there's two of us here?

459
00:33:46,049 --> 00:33:47,807
I'm involved in this
thing too, remember?

460
00:33:47,884 --> 00:33:49,167
I know that, Annie.

461
00:33:49,244 --> 00:33:51,561
Well give some thought
to how I might feel.

462
00:33:51,572 --> 00:33:56,116
Here you are worried about
losing David to some memory.

463
00:33:56,193 --> 00:33:57,901
What about me?

464
00:33:57,977 --> 00:34:01,071
Kimberly Michaels is
someone alive and real,

465
00:34:01,147 --> 00:34:05,158
someone David can talk to,
someone David can touch.

466
00:34:05,235 --> 00:34:06,993
If anyone should be worried
about competition here,

467
00:34:07,070 --> 00:34:08,078
it should be--
- Annie, I'm sorry.

468
00:34:08,154 --> 00:34:09,295
--wait.

469
00:34:09,372 --> 00:34:10,955
You don't understand.

470
00:34:11,032 --> 00:34:13,875
I'm not afraid of her.

471
00:34:13,952 --> 00:34:16,294
I've given David my
unconditional love

472
00:34:16,371 --> 00:34:18,546
for 18 years.

473
00:34:18,623 --> 00:34:21,508
And in my heart--

474
00:34:21,584 --> 00:34:26,471
in my heart I know I have
nothing to worry about.

475
00:34:26,548 --> 00:34:27,355
David will be fine.

476
00:34:30,468 --> 00:34:34,020
Honey, this woman may
have given David birth,

477
00:34:34,097 --> 00:34:36,823
but we've given him life.

478
00:34:41,771 --> 00:34:42,829
Yeah.

479
00:34:47,902 --> 00:34:49,828
You're right.

480
00:34:49,904 --> 00:34:51,004
Yeah.

481
00:34:51,081 --> 00:34:53,748
Everything's gonna
be all right, huh?

482
00:34:53,825 --> 00:34:56,510
Hey, it's got to be.

483
00:35:02,917 --> 00:35:05,393
[doorbell chimes]

484
00:35:17,348 --> 00:35:19,065
[door opening]

485
00:35:19,142 --> 00:35:22,485
TRAVIS: Hey, Mark, Jonathan.

486
00:35:22,562 --> 00:35:23,903
Hello, ma'am.

487
00:35:23,914 --> 00:35:25,905
MARK: Hello, Travis.

488
00:35:25,982 --> 00:35:28,408
TRAVIS: Uh, come on in, folks.

489
00:35:28,484 --> 00:35:30,919
[door closing]

490
00:35:37,368 --> 00:35:41,171
Annie, Travis, this
is Kimberly Michaels.

491
00:35:41,247 --> 00:35:43,798
Kim, this is Travis
Hastings and his wife Annie.

492
00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:46,885
Ms. Michaels.

493
00:35:46,961 --> 00:35:49,596
Hello.

494
00:35:49,606 --> 00:35:50,564
Nice to meet you.

495
00:35:53,676 --> 00:35:55,268
Where's David?

496
00:35:55,279 --> 00:35:56,903
He's waiting outside
in the backyard.

497
00:36:01,517 --> 00:36:04,152
I know this is very
uncomfortable for both of you,

498
00:36:04,229 --> 00:36:05,177
and I--

499
00:36:05,255 --> 00:36:06,496
I really appreciate this.

500
00:36:37,738 --> 00:36:42,190
Has he said anything about
how he feels towards me?

501
00:36:42,267 --> 00:36:45,035
ANNIE: No, just that he
wants to talk to you.

502
00:36:48,856 --> 00:36:52,951
Maybe it would be better
if we all went together.

503
00:36:53,027 --> 00:36:55,203
I think it would be better
if you had this time with him

504
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,287
alone.

505
00:36:59,659 --> 00:37:02,252
ANNIE: You go on ahead.

506
00:37:02,328 --> 00:37:03,220
He's waiting for you.

507
00:37:06,207 --> 00:37:08,508
Thank you.

508
00:37:08,584 --> 00:37:09,717
TRAVIS: Uh, Ms. Michaels?

509
00:37:09,794 --> 00:37:10,852
Yeah?

510
00:37:15,675 --> 00:37:18,184
I, uh--

511
00:37:18,261 --> 00:37:24,774
I just want to thank
you for giving us David.

512
00:37:24,851 --> 00:37:32,306
He's a-- he's a fine son.

513
00:37:35,796 --> 00:37:39,756
Thank you for being
his mother and father.

514
00:37:39,833 --> 00:37:42,968
[wistful music]

515
00:37:44,829 --> 00:37:46,930
[deep sigh]

516
00:38:18,780 --> 00:38:25,260
JOYCE: I was hurting inside, and
I needed something to help it.

517
00:38:27,848 --> 00:38:30,673
Well, the pills
weren't doing the job,

518
00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:34,677
so I thought a little bourbon
might get me right into limbo.

519
00:38:34,754 --> 00:38:37,272
What it got me was
wrapped around a tree.

520
00:38:40,802 --> 00:38:43,862
I just thank god I
didn't hurt anybody.

521
00:38:47,392 --> 00:38:52,037
When I came to, I was in
the trauma care center.

522
00:38:55,167 --> 00:39:03,039
And for the first time,
I felt good about Vietnam

523
00:39:03,116 --> 00:39:04,749
because the treatment
we learned over

524
00:39:04,826 --> 00:39:08,345
there is now being used
in shock trauma units

525
00:39:08,421 --> 00:39:09,262
all over this country.

526
00:39:13,251 --> 00:39:19,305
It feels great to know that what
we went through wasn't in vain.

527
00:39:19,382 --> 00:39:23,818
Doctors and nurses are saving
lives because of all of us.

528
00:39:27,014 --> 00:39:32,452
As for the booze, well,
I'm working on it.

529
00:39:35,281 --> 00:39:37,490
And I think this time
I'm going to win.

530
00:39:37,567 --> 00:39:39,242
[chuckling]

531
00:39:39,318 --> 00:39:40,685
Oh.

532
00:39:40,762 --> 00:39:45,248
Thank you, Joyce, for
sharing that with all of us.

533
00:39:45,324 --> 00:39:47,333
Well, we're just
about out of time.

534
00:39:47,410 --> 00:39:48,710
So unless there's--

535
00:39:48,787 --> 00:39:51,421
I-- I'd like to
say something if I--

536
00:39:51,497 --> 00:39:54,882
I mean, if it's OK,
if it's all right.

537
00:39:54,959 --> 00:39:56,008
Of course, Kim.

538
00:39:56,085 --> 00:39:59,512
Go right ahead.

539
00:39:59,589 --> 00:40:02,265
OK.

540
00:40:02,341 --> 00:40:06,853
Well, when I first
joined this group,

541
00:40:06,929 --> 00:40:09,605
I was concerned about
how much good it

542
00:40:09,682 --> 00:40:11,074
was really going to do for me.

543
00:40:15,104 --> 00:40:18,656
[sighs] Well, a lot of
time has passed now,

544
00:40:18,733 --> 00:40:27,665
and I've learned a lot
about pain and suffering,

545
00:40:27,742 --> 00:40:30,626
both yours and mine.

546
00:40:30,703 --> 00:40:33,596
[weeping]

547
00:40:44,717 --> 00:40:53,816
[sighs] You know,
post-traumatic stress disorder,

548
00:40:53,893 --> 00:40:57,111
it's altered all of us.

549
00:40:57,188 --> 00:41:00,114
I'll never be the same
person I was before.

550
00:41:00,191 --> 00:41:01,908
Neither will any of you.

551
00:41:01,984 --> 00:41:06,379
Nor will any of the thousands
of men and women just like us.

552
00:41:12,086 --> 00:41:14,629
But we're doing it,
you know, like this.

553
00:41:18,501 --> 00:41:26,557
By giving each other
pieces of ourselves,

554
00:41:26,568 --> 00:41:31,279
maybe we can go out
and help someone else.

555
00:41:39,689 --> 00:41:46,744
You know, for over
18 years, I have kept

556
00:41:46,821 --> 00:41:51,582
my personal pains a secret.

557
00:41:51,659 --> 00:41:58,798
I lost the man that I loved,
and I gave away the child

558
00:41:58,874 --> 00:42:03,894
that he gave inside of me.

559
00:42:07,433 --> 00:42:15,356
[sighs] And in these
past two weeks,

560
00:42:15,367 --> 00:42:21,246
those two pains have
finally stopped hurting.

561
00:42:24,233 --> 00:42:29,629
I know now that, um,
the man I loved is dead.

562
00:42:32,783 --> 00:42:35,385
But my child is very much alive.

563
00:42:37,663 --> 00:42:44,435
And, um, my old life
has finally ended.

564
00:42:53,479 --> 00:42:55,405
And tomorrow my new life begins.

565
00:42:59,101 --> 00:43:01,986
[applause]

566
00:43:02,063 --> 00:43:05,623
[tranquil music]

567
00:44:09,630 --> 00:44:10,480
Goodbye, Bill.

568
00:44:47,710 --> 00:44:51,145
[theme music]
