Previously on Army Wives...

Denise, I'm sorry to tell you Frank was aboard the chopper that went down.

They don't kow yet

if Frank is one of the missing or one of the dead.

Dad isn't dead.

But you'd like that, wouldn't you?

I know you think I hate you,

I just think you're a little lost right now.

All I can tell you is that if they need me, I'm gone.

Sit down.

- Easy. - Right now!

Get your wife on the phone.

He holds me responsible.

One hundred and ten metres.

After everything I did for them.

Confirming one hundred and ten metres.

Is someone gonna tell us what the hell is going on?

I know this guy. He's a good soldier.

You completely violated protocol.

And now that decision could get my wife killed.

Is this what she would've wanted?

Good morning.

Where did you go?

Up by the pond.

I keep seeing his face when he died

replaying it over and over in my head...

I know.

You see people die all the time

I don't know how you do it Michael.

That never gets any easier.

I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

Where're you going?

Michael Holden asked me to report to his office at 9:00 hours.

Can't be good.

Roland...

I am sorry that you had to hear about

what happened over there from Peter Belgrad.

I should have told you myself.

I couldn't save that girl.

As much as Peter wanted me to,

and as much as I wanted to...

it was against Army regulations.

I had no choice.

I saved my men.

You were put in a tough position.

What would you have done?

I would have tried to save her.

I knew you'd say that.

It's been 48 hours.

They must know by now if your father's alive or not.

He's ok, mum, I know it.

Just like Mrs Holden was ok.

I hope so, Jeremy.

I met your father, I was working in a E.R., Fort Bliss.

They brought a man,

he broken his leg and his arm.

Oh he had to be a baby, it was laughing.

He just wanna bet that he could jump off a radio tower and live.

You never told me that.

Yeah, well we didn't want to get you any ideas.

Yeah, your father was pretty wild then.

He had no interest in getting married, he just...

just jumping out of planes.

He said he took one look at me and...

fell like I was handed in back of his heart.

I taped up and bandaged again.

Your hair's getting better.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Trying to make it look war.

They pray five times a day, you know?

Chase...

Chase...

I'm not gonna ask you if you were there yesterday,

with the snipe routine, at the hospital.

I just want you to know that I'm proud of you

and I love you.

You're awake.

I'm just thinking.

Don't worry Rox.

I mean look at you.

Are you gonna be the same man when you get back?

I will be.

- Claudia Joy, hello. - Hi Roland.

I'm sorry, I should have called first.

I don't know I just, uh...

felt compelled to come back here.

I understand, you've been through a lot.

We both did.

How are you feeling?

Still processing.

How about you?

You know me, I'm fine.

Really?

(No.)

Well, I have to keep myself together.

I'm hosting the 4th of July picnic at my house.

75 people are coming. I've centerpieces to arrange.

Why doesn't someone else throw the picnic this year?

That's what I do.

Excuse me... Dr. Burton?

Yes.

I'm Sarah Belgrad. Peter Belgrad's wife.

- Um, uh should I come back later? - No please, come in.

This is Claudia Joy Holden, she was with me yesterday.

So you... you were both in here.

That's right.

Yeah, I just need to see where it happened, if that's ok.

I need to understand what happened to my husband.

I know that sounds crazy.

Crazy it is.

Funny how that word sounds now.

These were his personal effects.

- Do you wanna sit down? - No, no, thank you.

It's my fault.

I'm so sorry that this happened to both of you.

Please, you can't blame yourself.

No, no, I appreciate that, really, but uh...

I should've tried harder.

I've been going over it and over and over in my mind and I...

I knew something was wrong.

That something bad happened over there.

At first he was angry and then he just...

shut down.

He said I wouldn't understand.

So I...

I gave up.

I took the kids and I left.

You know they're calling him a criminal now.

They won't even give him a military funeral.

I've known him since I was 15.

I-I don't know how this could've happened, I...

Yeah, you-you must...

you must think he's some kind of monster.

Thank you, I'm sorry.

He's hurting my face!

- It won't come off! - TJ what did you do?

- I was helping! - How were you helping?

- What is this? - What?

TJ! Modelling glue is for models, not for little brothers.

Not funny!

What do we do? Do we take him to the Emergency Room?

Allright, hold on, hold on.

Let's see.

Ok, ok.

What were you doing? It's two days before July's 4th

why are you even wearing your costume?

Because I needed to rehearse.

Well now, you've got a beard.

Allright.

- What is that? Nail polish remover? - Don't ask.

God, I've got like five hundred errands to do, I'm gonna be so late for work.

Hey, I got it. Go!

- Are you sure? - Go!

G.O.!

Allright, come here.

- How does it feel? - Good.

- You sure? - I'm sure.

Ok.

One, two, three.

Lieutenant Colonel Burton reporting as ordered.

Lieutenant Colonel Burton will you tell us why we're here.

I made a mistake.

I failed to follow procedure, Sir.

We're here because a United State soldier's dead.

I understand, Sir.

Lieutenant Colonel Joan W. Burton,

you failed to report to medical personnel

the serious, and life threatening actions

of your subordinate, Sergeant Peter Belgrad.

This failure resulted in later putting medical personnel

a civilian, and yourself at great risk,

and may have contributed to your subordinate's untimely death.

As your commanding officer I'm duty bound to inform you

that I intend to take article 15 action against you.

You have three days to respond at these charges.

If you so choose to fight the article 15 action you may write a statement,

but anything you say can be used against you

and in the outcome of these charges...

I'm relieving you of your command.

Have I made myself clear Lieutenant Colonel Burton?

Very clear, Sir.

Dismissed.

- Who is it? - It's Amanda, mom.

Is your mum allright?

I was gonna ask you the same thing, uh...

but yeah, my mom's ok,

I think...

Kinda hard to tell...

she keeps all inside.

How about yours?

She won't eat anything.

Do you guys talk?

Is everything allright?

Well, there've been problems.

It's my fault.

I keep try to make things right, but... I don't know how.

I thought of saying I'm sorry but it just doesn't seem enough.

Well, have you tried?

Michael?

What is it? What's wrong?

You're saying Peter Belgrad didn't die in the line of duty!

He didn't, Claudia Joy.

The man is a criminal, plain and simple.

This is why you called me home to talk about Belgrad?

I just met his widow.

Her name is Sarah.

They have two children, she's gonna lose all her benefits

their medical insurance, college tuition for their children,

living expenses...

All because you Michael Holden have decided

her husband doesn't deserve a military funeral.

He insulted a military policeman, he stole a gun,

and took two hostages. He could have killed you!

He would've killed you if we had not intervened.

He wasn't going to kill us, Michael!

You weren't there, I was.

Regardless, my course of action is clear.

The man had a breakdown. His wife left him.

Don't penalize her and the kids for what he may have done wrong!

There is a code.

It's called the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

I didn't make it up, but I believe in it.

That's why I swored uphold its principles.

Do you know him?

Did you ever meet Peter Belgrad?

You heard what happened to him over there, with Joan Burton.

He was not going to kill us, Michael.

He just wanted to hear Joan say she was sorry.

Please, give Peter Belgrad a military funeral.

Give his family that closure.

I made a decision, I will not go back on it.

- Michael he's... - Claudia Joy!

For 18 years, I've listened to everything you've said.

I've trusted your judgement.

But when it concerns the fundamental truth of my professional life

there is a line that divides me as a soldier

from you, as the soldier's wife.

And you've never crossed that line...

until right now.

What are you doing?

Michael Holden is taking article 15 action against me.

I could be fined,

confined in my quarters, or arrested, but...

regardless of what the final judgement is

I am no longer promotable.

My carrier is essentially over.

And is there nothing you can do?

I could fight it. I could write a statement defending my actions,

- to see if they consider it. - And if they do?

Maybe they can drop the article 15,

just give me a letter of reprimand instead

to go on my record but...

- I can return to duty. - Good.

Then write the statement.

I can't do that.

I can't defend my actions.

They are indefensible.

You made a judgement call about Peter Belgrad.

You were trying to protect him.

So are you just gonna give up?

That's not like you Joan.

You never give up.

I've been drinking,

leaving bottle around the house.

Just like my father.

I swore I would never be like him.

That's why I join the army in the first place.

You know where I come from.

You know how hard it was for me to get here.

Now look at me.

I am a failure.

Build as a soldier, and now failed as your wife.

Hey...

you haven't failed me, Joan.

Look, Marilyn...

I know a lot of people do this kind of thing,

but not me.

I feel guilty all the time.

But I'm so happy.

I haven't been happy in a long time.

I got you this.

To the world, you may be one person

but to one person, you may be the world.

- Yeah, it's pretty corny. - No.

It's beautiful.

Well, now I am hallucinating.

You work here?

Well the tip jar's full so, some is working.

Can I get you two something of refill?

No, no I was just leaving.

Yeah...

me too...

I think I got everything.

Have you been sitting here all day?

Not all day.

You're not gonna find him there, mom.

If something happen they will come tell us.

Rice goes in there.

Oh, ok.

It's nice having you help.

So I was sitting there this afternoon.

I thought for the first time...

I'm happy you're not going to West Point.

- Why? - Cause I don't want you to go through this.

No one should.

Mom I know you've been going through a lot lately and...

I just wanna say I really admire you.

Thank you, Jeremy.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything I've done I've never should had hit you.

It was wrong.

Have you called about Frank?

I did, no word yet.

Please keep trying. This is so unfair to Denise.

We need to discuss this.

What is there to discuss Michael?

You've made up your mind.

No military funeral for Peter Belgrad.

I understand.

I have to pay the caters, there's a lot to do today.

So how many times have you been deployed all the season?

3 times.

One lasted a year and a half, it was in Kuwait.

It was the hardest.

So when are you off?

3 days, Iraq.

Marilyn was at the Hump bar last night.

My condolences.

Girl nearly stripped her clutch when she saw me.

She had no idea I work there.

She was with a man.

The kind of man who wasn't her husband.

- Marilyn is having an affair? - Shht!

And you are waiting till now to tell me?

Well excuse me but I worked until midnight last night.

Yeah and my phone works 24 hours a day and so does my front door!

Ok, Marilyn Polarski is having an affair.

Hypocrit, you should have known!

I'd like nothing more than to find a stage with a microphone right now.

So, do you have any advice for me or...

My first deployment...

I didn't know what to expect.

There was a Major in my unit...

a married guy who'd been on a lot of tours,

and he told me not to contact my family.

Said the less I talk to them, the less I would miss them,

and it would make it easier for me to get through.

I called home, only 4... 5 times in 6 months.

My son was 2 weeks old when I learnt he was born.

The Major was right. It did make it easier...

for me.

4 or 5 times in 6 months?

Man, I don't think I could do that to Roxy.

We can't tell anyone.

Wait, why not?

I was gonna tell Trevor, I mean... He knows her husband.

No you can do that.

I mean maybe in civilian life you could have, when someone's cheating.

But not here.

We have to protect each other, and even if it is Marilyn.

You still have to protect another soldier's wife.

It's our code.

- You're asking my advice, right? - Yeah.

Well here it is:

You call her every minute you can.

I hurt Pam a lot.

Don't hurt your girl.

Thank you, Pat.

- Colonel. - Roland.

Thank you for seeing me.

It not a face we see around here very often, sit please.

Joan is expecting the worst.

I don't know what to say to her.

That's between the two of you.

No, Sir, I don't think so.

Not after what happened yesterday.

I'm sorry Roland I can't discuss internal military affairs with a civilian.

Joan's experiencing post-traumatic stress.

Similar to what caused Peter Balgrad to take us hostage.

And we both know the Army puts a great deal of emphasis

on educating people about PTST.

But a major problem I am seeing is the shame, suffer as feel.

Especially those in positions of leadership

and their own inability to raise their hands, and ask for help.

I should have identified her problem sooner,

but maybe others should have as well.

You served with Joan.

You know the level of commitment she's brought to 20 years of service.

The Army is her life.

And she's giving up... She's just gonna walk away.

I can't let that happen!

Joan has been a remarkable officer.

But she made a failure.

There's nothing that I can do for her.

- Thank you for your time. - You're welcome.

If it was your wife, I'm sure you would fight for her integrity too...

How many is there?

About 40 small plates, 20 large ones.

Ok.

How many people are coming?

About 75 but you always count on more so...

make that 90.

I've done so many of these events, I could do it in my sleep.

Don't you ever tired of it?

Sometimes, but in the end, it's always worth it.

Think about all the places we've lived all the different people we've met.

I'm very fortunate.

I would never marry a soldier.

Amanda, you don't choose who you love, it just happens.

Roxy?

Hi there.

Twice in one week, uh? People are gonna start to talk!

Look...

this is really awkward.

And I know I've given you and Pamela a hard time,

but I need you to do something for me.

I need you to please keep what you saw between us.

Ok, well let me first be clear about something.

You haven't given Pamela hard time,

you've been a bitch to her.

It's like it, and you don't have to worry about anything,

cause I'm keeping my mouth shut.

Thank you.

You must really love seeing me like this.

No, actually I don't Marilyn.

You see, I've seen my fair share of pain for one lifetime.

So I don't really get any pleasure out of seeing others carry around

with them in their suitcase.

You're the only person who knows about Eddie and me.

It was never supposed to get this far.

We were friends, just friends.

My husband was deployed and... it just happened.

I don't know what to do.

After you saw us, you scared him.

He called me and told me that was over.

We both have kids, we've been trying to end it.

But last night he really meant it.

It really is over.

And you see... the thing is...

I'm in love with him.

I'm so in love with him.

What is that?

It's an application for voluntary separation from the Army.

The first step to my retirement.

And it's certain that's what you want?

Yes.

I've also requested entry

into a VA treatment center in Vermont for PTST.

I'm gonna start with a 30 day inpatient program.

Then I'm gonna take it from there.

Mom, come here, hurry!

He's alive.

Yes!

- Yeah! - Yes, I knew it!

He's on his way back as we speak.

Oh my God!

My God, my husband is coming home!

Oh my God, my husband is coming home!

- Need any help? - No thanks.

- I got it. - Ok.

I'm so happy about your dad.

Thanks.

I always knew he'd come home if he could.

He loves my mom way too much to leave her.

That's such a romantic thing to say.

Well it's true.

You know Amanda, I talked to my mom.

I told her I'm sorry, like you said.

How did it go?

Good.

Feels like things were finally getting better.

It's all so amazing, isn't it?

How this is all working out.

Hey Sergeant Polarski!

- LeBlanc! - You finally get to meet my girl.

This is my wife Roxy. Roxy, Sergeant Polarski.

One of the eyes I'm deploying with.

Hi there Sergeant.

You have to promise to keep an eye on my man, here.

- Is... Is this your wife? - Yeah, sorry.

This is the wife, Marilyn.

- Hi. - Hi, I'm Trevor LeBlanc.

Yeah, I know Marilyn, we're friends.

The pageant is about to start, you want to sit to our table?

Thanks.

I received your application for voluntary separation from the army.

Yes, sir.

I'll consider it, I'll give you an answer tomorrow.

Thank you sir.

Wanna grab a seat?

Can I please have your attention?

The kids have prepared a special song.

O beautiful

for spacious skies,

for amber waves of grain.

For purple mountain majesties,

above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee,

and crown thy good

with brotherhood

from sea to shining sea!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee

and crown thy good

with brotherhood

from sea to shining sea!

Mummy, I gotta go pee, real bad.

That's my boy.

- He's gone. - What?

Chase, he's gone.

They deployed Delta Force.

Chase is gone!

Welcome.

Welcome everyone to another Independence day picnic.

Today, we commemorate the courage of our four Fathers,

who in 1776 through acts of bravery and self-sacrifice

guaranteed us the freedoms that we now see...

as our basic human rights.

Those rights are still being protected,

every hour, every day by the United States military.

I've spent weeks planning this party.

The decorations, the food, the flowers...

cause I want it to be perfect.

Perfect for all of us.

That's what I do.

That's what I love to do.

This has been one of the most extraordinary weeks of my life.

I feel both devastated,

and deleted.

Today, I also feel shaken.

I feel shaken by what has happened, wondering...

if I did enough, if I said enough...

could've changed the outcome...

I married a commited military man,

and I have loved this military life.

I have also had to put my personal opinions aside,

to truly understand

that our defenders of freedom are fighting a bigger battle.

Not a political one.

Their battle goes beyond politics,

beyond religion, race or gender.

They're the defenders for us all.

They're the defenders of our differences.

As one soldier is taken away from us,

another returns to us.

There is balance in the universe, and natural system of order.

Look beside each soldier and you will find the people who fight with them.

The spouses, the sons,

the daughters, the families, we serve too...

Their victories are our victories, their defeats are our defeats.

Together we fight for our freedom.

For 18 years, I have tried to be the perfect wife and mother.

Each day, I disappoint myself.

Human life isn't about perfection.

It is about accepting the flawed.

The misguided parts of ourselves.

We keep trying, we keep loving,

we keep believing.

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

I am proud of the role we play in maintaining peace

in our country and in the world.

I am proud to stand beside a man whose integrity

shines like a diamond in the dust.

And I am proud to call myself an army wife.
