PREVIOUSLY ON "ARMY WIVES"...

YOU'RE IN COMPLETE
KIDNEY FAILURE.

WHEN YOU GET
YOUR STRENGTH BACK,

WE'LL GO OVER THE TRANSPLANT
PROCESS IN DETAIL.

I'M GONNA STAY
WITH GRAMS AND GRANDPA.

FOR HOW LONG?
TILL SHE GETS HER STRENGTH BACK.

WHAT'S THIS?

YOU NEED WORK,
AND I NEED HELP.

NO. I AM NOT LOOKIN'
FOR A HANDOUT.

THIS IS A HAND UP.

BELIEVE ME, I DON'T WANT
TO WORK WITH YOU

ANY MORE THAN YOU WANT
TO WORK WITH ME,

BUT SINCE WE HAVE TO, YOU NEED
TO ACT LIKE A PROFESSIONAL

AND YOU HAVE TO TREAT ME
LIKE ONE, TOO.

DEFINITELY AGAINST
THE RULES OF FRATERNIZATION.

(Denise, lowered voice)
SHE'S OBVIOUSLY HIGH,

BUT THERE'S NO INDICATION
OF OVERDOSE.

I'M GONNA GO
TO THE BANQUET NOW.
UH, NO.

YOU GO OUT THERE LIKE THIS,
YOU'LL EMBARRASS YOURSELF,

YOUR HUSBAND,
THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

(vomits)
OH.

DR. BURTON.

MARCUS WILLIAMS.

DO WE KNOW EACH OTHER?

I'M DAVID'S FATHER.

(Joan) I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
WHAT THE LAB TEST SAYS.

JOAN--

WE LEGALLY ADOPTED DAVID.
HE IS OUR SON.

NO ONE'S SAYING
HE ISN'T.

MARCUS WILLIAMS IS.

WHY ELSE WOULD HE JUST
SHOW UP OUT OF NOWHERE,

DEMANDING A D.N.A. TEST?

HE WANTS TO MEET DAVID.
THAT'S ALL.

THAT MAN HAS NO CLAIM
ON OUR SON.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL ARGUE
IF IT COMES TO THAT.

IF IT COMES TO THAT?

JOAN, I NEED TO COVER
ALL POSSIBILITIES.

IF WILLIAMS REALLY DIDN'T KNOW

HE WAS DAVID'S
BIOLOGICAL FATHER

UNTIL LAST MONTH,
HE COULD ARGUE

HE WAS NEVER GIVEN
THE OPPORTUNITY

TO SIGN AWAY
HIS PARENTAL RIGHTS.

MEANING THAT HE COULD
TAKE DAVID AWAY FROM US?

THAT'S HIGHLY UNLIKELY.

HIGHLY UNLIKELY?
THE MAN IS A FELON.

HONEY, CALM DOWN.
NO!

I CANNOT BELIEVE
THAT A TOTAL STRANGER

CAN JUST WALK INTO OUR LIVES
AND DESTROY OUR FAMILY.

HE CAN'T.
WE WON'T LET HIM.

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

YES. YES.

LIKE I SAID, MY JOB IS TO
CONSIDER WORST-CASE SCENARIOS.

NOW WILLIAMS
ALREADY CONVINCED A JUDGE

TO ORDER THE D.N.A. TEST.

CAN I SAY
WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY

WHAT THE COURT MIGHT RULE
BEYOND THAT?

NO, BUT ALL THE SOUTH CAROLINA
CASE LAW I'VE READ

IS IN YOUR FAVOR.

YOU HEAR THAT?

NOW LET'S NOT GET
AHEAD OF OURSELVES, OKAY?

WILLIAMS HASN'T SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT WANTING CUSTODY.

YET.

HE JUST WANTS
TO MEET DAVID.

WELL, THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.

♪♪♪

(Gloria) CUT OFF THE ENDS.

STAND IT UP.
CUT LENGTHWISE.

MAKE A SLIT
SO IT CAN SIT ON THE GLASS.

CUT INTO SECTIONS.

BAM.

THAT IS IMPRESSIVE.

CHIEF SHOWED ME. I CAN MAKE
A FLOATING SHOT, TOO.

WANNA SEE?

UH, NO. IT'S A LITTLE EARLY
FOR THE FLOATING SHOT.

BUT I LIKE
YOUR ENTHUSIASM.

I WANNA LEARN EVERYTHING.

FINE.
(cell phone ringing)

BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
IN ONE DAY, OKAY?

(beeps)

HELLO.

Roxy, it's Jackie.

Jackie Clarke.

JACKIE, HI.

DID I CATCH YOU
AT A BAD TIME?

UM, NO, NOT AT ALL.
WHAT'S UP?

WELL, I KNOW IT'S SHORT NOTICE,
BUT I WAS HOPING

THAT YOU COULD COME TO MY HOUSE
THIS AFTERNOON FOR TEA.

TEA?

UH, DON'T WORRY.
IT'S STRICTLY CASUAL.

COME AS YOU ARE.

Okay, sure.

WHAT TIME?

I was thinking 4:00.

4:00 WORKS.

GREAT.

UM, DO YOU THINK THAT--THAT
GLORIA CRUZ WOULD LIKE TO COME?

I MEAN, I KNOW SHE'S ON
THE ENLISTED SIDE OF THE HOUSE,

BUT I WOULD REALLY LIKE
TO SEE HER.

Well, would you like me
to ask her?

SHE'S STANDING RIGHT HERE.
SHE WORKS FOR ME NOW.

OH, PERFECT. THAT--
IF YOU DON'T MIND.

NO, NO PROBLEM.

(lowered voice) OKAY, DON'T
LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY,

BUT JACKIE CLARKE WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE US OVER FOR TEA

THIS AFTERNOON.

ME? WHY?

I HAVE NO CLUE.

DON'T I HAVE TO WORK?

WE CAN GET BUY
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS,

AND I DON'T WANT TO GO
BY MYSELF.

I DON'T WANNA GO.

(normal voice)
SHE'D LOVE TO COME.

Wonderful.
I'll see you at 4:00.

BYE.

(beeps)

WHY WOULD I WANT TO SIT DOWN
WITH MARCUS WILLIAMS?

I GOT TWO MORE VOICE MAILS
FROM HIM THIS MORNING.

HE'S NOT GOING AWAY,
JOAN.

AND IF HE TAKES US TO COURT,
IT COULD BE A NIGHTMARE,

AND NOT JUST FOR US.

THINK ABOUT DAVID.

WILLIAMS JUST GOT OUT
OF PRISON.

HOW CAN HE AFFORD
A LAWYER?

I DON'T KNOW, BABE,
BUT LIKE CLAUDIA JOY SAID,

THE MAN'S NOT STUPID.

WELL, I STILL SAY WE SHOULD
FIGHT HIM EVERY INCH OF THE WAY.

WE COULD DO THAT.

ALL I'M SAYING IS,
IT MIGHT BE BETTER,

IT MIGHT BE SMARTER,

FOR US TO BEND A BIT.

WHY?

BECAUSE IF WE TALK
TO THE MAN OURSELVES,

WE MIGHT BE ABLE
TO SETTLE THIS THING QUICKLY.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO LOOK
AT THIS THROUGH HIS EYES,

YOU KNOW?

WHAT WOULD I DO IF I FOUND OUT
I HAD AN 11-YEAR-OLD SON?

YOU WOULD DO
WHAT'S BEST FOR THE CHILD.

I'D WANT TO MEET HIM,
JOAN.

IT'S HUMAN NATURE.

SO YOU'RE TAKING
HIS SIDE NOW?

OF COURSE NOT.

BUT I'D RATHER TALK
WITH WILLIAMS ON OUR TERMS

THAN ARGUE WITH HIM
IN COURT.

(people speaking indistinctly)

JUST THINK ABOUT IT,
OKAY?

(people continue
speaking indistinctly)

♪♪♪

(indistinct conversations)

HI.
PICK UP FOR TANYA.

RIGHT HERE.

2 GUMBO SPECIALS.
THAT'LL BE $14.75.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

THANKS. (chuckles)

♪♪♪

HERE YOU GO.

♪♪♪

(people speaking indistinctly)

(car engine turns over)

(speaks indistinctly)

ROXY. HEY.

HEY, DENISE,
CLAUDIA JOY.

YOU REMEMBER GLORIA CRUZ.

YEAH, OF COURSE.
HI.

NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.
SAME HERE.

SO YOU GUYS WERE INVITED
TO THIS THING, TOO?

MM-HMM.
YEAH, JACKIE CALLED
THIS MORNING.

ANY IDEA
WHAT IT'S ABOUT?

SHE JUST SAID SHE WANTED
TO GET TOGETHER.

YEAH, BUT WHY ME?

THE ONLY OTHER TIME
I MET MRS. CLARKE,

SHE WAS PUKING IN THOSE BUSHES
OVER THERE.

(chuckles) THAT WAS
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER, HUH?

(Roxy) YEAH.

SO, DENISE, YOU'VE BEEN
HOLDING OUT ON US.

(laughs)
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

TANYA'S NEW FLAME.

OH, YOU DON'T KNOW.

UM, FIRST I'VE HEARD.
YOU--YOU MEET HIM?

NO, I JUST SAW HIM
IN THE HUMP BAR PARKING LOT.

TANYA GOT INTO THE CAR
WITH THIS GUY,

AND LET'S JUST SAY,
THE WINDOWS WERE FOGGING UP.

REALLY?

SHE PROBABLY FEELS AWKWARD
SAYING ANYTHING TO YOU.

YEAH.

I'M SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.

ALTHOUGH, TRUTHFULLY,
NOTHING WOULD MAKE ME HAPPIER

THAN TO SEE HER DATING AGAIN.

WELL, THEN THIS WOULD'VE
MADE YOU VERY HAPPY.

THANK YOU FOR COMING.

I KNOW YOU MUST BE WONDERING
WHY I INVITED YOU HERE.

I-I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR THE OTHER NIGHT.

I-IF YOU HADN'T STEPPED IN,

IT WOULD'VE BEEN
A TOTAL DISASTER FOR ME

AND FOR KEVIN.

OH, WE WERE HAPPY
TO HELP.

STILL, I-I FEEL

LIKE I...
I OWE YOU AN APOLOGY

AND AN EXPLANATION.

JACKIE,
THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.

IT IS FOR ME.

YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS,
DENISE,

BUT I'M A PERFECTIONIST.

(chuckles)
I'VE BEEN THAT WAY FOREVER.

UH, SECOND BEST WAS...

NEVER ACCEPTABLE
FOR MY FAMILY,

AND--AND THEN I MARRIED KEVIN,
AND HE FEELS THE SAME.

AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT
I COULD HANDLE IT,

AND I--AND I DID
FOR A LONG TIME...

UNTIL KEVIN WAS DEPLOYED
TO KOSOVO.

AND THAT'S WHEN THINGS
STARTED TO UNRAVEL.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN,
JACKIE.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK,
CLAUDIA JOY.

I-I KNOW THERE WAS TALK
IN CERTAIN CIRCLES

THAT KEVIN HAD
HAD AN AFFAIR

WITH HIS DRIVER,

AND THAT I HAD MOVED OUT
BECAUSE OF IT.

THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT HAPPENED IS...

I FELL APART.

THAT DEPLOYMENT
WAS REALLY HARD ON ME.

PATRICK WAS STILL IN PRESCHOOL.

SOPHIE WAS IN DIAPERS.

MY MOTHER HAD BEEN
DIAGNOSED WITH PARKINSON'S.

I JUST STARTED DRINKING
TOO MUCH

AND--AND TAKING PILLS.

BY THE TIME KEVIN CAME HOME,

I WAS A COMPLETE MESS.

AND HE--HE INSISTED I...

GET TREATMENT,

AND SO I WENT TO A, UH,
PRIVATE CLINIC

IN MASSACHUSETTS.

I HAD NO IDEA.

NO ONE DID.

I... I LEARNED TO COPE
FOR YEARS.

BUT LATELY,

YOU KNOW,
AFTER THE HURRICANE AND...

COMING TO FORT MARSHALL, I...

I SLOWLY STARTED
WITH THE PILLS AGAIN.

BUT YOU HANDLE IT ALL
SO WELL.

I MEAN, DURING THE DEPLOYMENT,
YOU WERE A ROCK.

I DEPENDED ON YOU.

YEAH, WE ALL DID.

APPEARANCES
CAN BE DECEIVING.

MM. I SHOULD'VE DONE MORE.

I KNEW SOMETHING
WAS GOING ON.

I KNOW YOU DID.

THE NIGHT OF THE BANQUET,

KEVIN AND I
HAD A HUGE FIGHT.

YOU KNOW, HE WAS UNDER
EXTREME PRESSURE,

BUT I-I COULDN'T HANDLE IT.

AND YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED.

I KNOW I'M NOT THE EASIEST...

PERSON TO GET ALONG WITH.

BUT YOU HELPED ME ANYWAY.

ESPECIALLY YOU TWO.

IN MY FATHER'S ARMY,
THE RANKS NEVER MIXED,

AND THAT'S HOW I ALWAYS
LOOKED AT THINGS.

BUT YOU BAILED ME OUT WITHOUT
GIVING IT A SECOND THOUGHT.

ALL WE SAW WAS
AN ARMY WIFE IN TROUBLE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

(Denise sighs) MM.

SEE YOU LATER.

(Claudia Joy, Gloria,
and Denise) BYE.

(car doors close)

(engine turns over)

WOW.

YEAH.
I HAD NO IDEA.

GOD, I WISH SHE WOULD'VE
SAID SOMETHING TO ME.

IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE COULDN'T
OPEN UP TO ANYONE.

YEAH.

THANK GOD
WE HAVE EACH OTHER.

YEAH. CLAUDIA JOY,
WE'RE A MATCH.

YES, WE ARE. (laughs)

(laughs) NO.

NO, WHAT I MEAN IS THAT
WE ARE A MEDICAL MATCH.

WHEN YOU WERE DIAGNOSED...

(voice breaking)
I GOT TESTED

TO SEE IF I COULD GIVE YOU
ONE OF MY KIDNEYS.

NO--

I JUST GOT WORD THIS WEEK.
I CAN.

DENISE...

PLEASE JUST SAY YES.

OH, GOD.

(laughs)

(Michael)
I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

DENISE IS GIVING ME
MY LIFE BACK.

OHH.

(sighs)

(Frank) I CAN'T BELIEVE
YOU DID THAT.

IT WAS THE RIGHT THING
TO DO.

NO, WE AGREED TO TALK
ABOUT IT FIRST, D.

I SAID I'M SORRY. I GOT
CAUGHT UP IN THE MOMENT.

YEAH. (sighs)

AND WHEN DID YOU FIND OUT
EXACTLY THAT YOU WERE A MATCH?

(sighs) TUESDAY.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU
SAY SOMETHING THEN?

THE 15-6 INVESTIGATION
WAS GOING ON.

I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE
YOU WOULD DO THIS

WITHOUT TELLING ME.

I KNOW WE SHOULD'VE
TALKED ABOUT IT,

BUT... WHEN YOU HAVE
A CHANCE TO THINK IT OVER,

YOU'LL SEE
THAT IT'S GONNA BE FINE.

I DOUBT IT.

I GOTTA GET TO WORK.

OH, RIGHT. JUST LOB
A GRENADE AND GO.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, FRANK.

HOW MANY TIMES
DO I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE?

IT'S NOT ABOUT APOLOGIZING, D.

WHAT CHOICE
DO I HAVE NOW, HMM?

IF I OBJECT, THAT MAKES ME
THE BAD GUY, DOESN'T IT?

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY

NO ROOM TO MANEUVER,
NONE.

(sighs)

JUST GO. YOU DON'T
WANT TO BE LATE.

(door opens)

(door closes)

THIS IS MY WIFE--
COLONEL JOAN BURTON.

JOAN, MARCUS WILLIAMS.

HOW YOU DOING?

UH, PLEASE SIT DOWN.

SO WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

WE JUST WANT TO TALK.
THAT'S ALL.

CLEARLY, WE GOT OFF
ON THE WRONG FOOT.

I DIDN'T TRUST YOU,

AND TO BE FRANK, YOU WEREN'T
TOTALLY HONEST WITH ME.

WHAT YOU TALKIN' 'BOUT?

WE KNOW YOU WERE IN PRISON.

I NEVER SAID I WASN'T.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE ME A CHANCE
TO SAY MUCH OF ANYTHING.

WELL, WE'RE LISTENING NOW.

WHAT MY WIFE MEANS IS,

WE'D LIKE TO KNOW
MORE ABOUT YOU.

WELL, I'M NOT GONNA SIT HERE
AND SAY I WASN'T GUILTY,

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT
TO HEAR.

I WAS. I HAD A HABIT.

AND I STOLE TO FEED IT.

BUT THAT WAS THEN.

I TURNED THINGS AROUND
IN PRISON.

I DID.

I'M FROM CHICAGO, MARCUS.

SOUTH SIDE. BRONZEVILLE.

I KNOW
PLENTY OF BROTHERS WHO...

TURNED THINGS AROUND

AND ENDED UP
RIGHT BACK IN THE GAME.

WELL, THAT AIN'T ME.

I PASSED MY G.E.D.,
I LEARNED CONSTRUCTION,

AND I GOT MY MIND RIGHT.

AND YOU CAN CALL
MY PAROLE OFFICER

AND FIND OUT
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

TRUST ME, I WILL.

I'M NOT TRYING
TO START ANY TROUBLE.

I JUST WANT TO MEET
MY BOY.

DON'T CALL HIM THAT.

LOOK, I DIDN'T COME OVER
HERE TO ARGUE, OKAY?

I GOT BETTER THINGS
TO DO.

LIKE WHAT, MARCUS?
LIKE WHAT?

HEY, RELAX. CAN WE ALL
JUST RELAX, PLEASE?

LOOK, THIS ISN'T EASY
FOR ANY OF US.

SIT DOWN, PLEASE.

NOW BEFORE WE GO
ANY FURTHER,

THERE'S SOMETHING YOU NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT DAVID.

HE'S H.I.V. POSITIVE.

I'M SORRY TO HEAR THAT.

YOU DIDN'T KNOW?

HOW WOULD I KNOW?

WELL, DAVID GOT IT
FROM HIS MOTHER.

WE THOUGHT MAYBE
YOU GAVE IT TO HER.

NO, I DIDN'T.

OKAY, SO... LET'S JUST
GET TO WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO SEE DAVID?

WHAT YOU MEAN,
WHY I WANT TO SEE HIM?

A MAN WANT TO MEET
HIS SON,

HIS BIOLOGICAL SON.

I WANT HIM TO KNOW
HE WASN'T ABANDONED.

HE WAS ABANDONED.

WELL, NOT BY ME, OKAY?

I AIN'T KNOW.

THAT'S THE TRUTH.

WHEN I FOUND OUT, I DID
EVERYTHING I COULD TO FIND HIM.

MAYBE HE DOESN'T WANT
TO BE FOUND.

WELL, HAVE YOU ASKED HIM?

WHAT?

LOOK, I KNOW Y'ALL
DON'T LIKE ME, OKAY?

BUT HOW'S HE FEEL ABOUT IT?

WE HAVEN'T TOLD HIM
ABOUT YOU.

WHY NOT?
HE'S TOO YOUNG.

HE 11.

WHEN I WAS 11, I WAS TAKING CARE
OF MYSELF AND MY MOM.

HE'S NOT YOU.

I THINK 11
IS PLENTY OLD ENOUGH

FOR HIM TO KNOW IF HE WANT
TO MEET ME OR NOT.

OR DON'T Y'ALL
TRUST HIM EITHER?

UGH. FINN'S ASLEEP
AT LAST.

HE KEPT ON INSISTING,

"ONE MORE CHAPTER,
ONE MORE CHAPTER."

YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY
A KID HIS AGE

STILL WANTS HIS MOM
TO READ TO HIM.

WELL, HE NEEDS TO GIVE IT
A REST EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

I'M JUST TIRED.
I'M GONNA TAKE A BATH.

DO YOU WANT SOME COMPANY?

SOMEONE'S CHEERY TONIGHT.

COLONEL SHERWOOD REVIEWED
MY O.E.R.

OFFICER EVALUATION REPORT.

AND?

TOP BLOCK
ACROSS THE BOARD.

THAT'S GREAT, BABE.

AND I DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB
IN AFRICA,

AND HE SAYS
I SHOULD PUT IN A PACKET

FOR A RANGER BATTALION.

WAIT A MINUTE. I THOUGHT
YOU WERE ALREADY A RANGER.

I MEAN,
YOU WENT TO RANGER SCHOOL

AND YOU GOT YOUR RANGER PATCH
AND EVERYTHING.

TAB.

RANGER TAB.

PATCH, TAB, WHATEVER.

AND THAT JUST MEANS
I'M RANGER QUALIFIED.

IT'S NOT THE SAME THING AS BEING
PART OF A RANGER BATTALION.

WHAT'S A RANGER BATTALION?

IT'S AN ELITE FIGHTING UNIT.

RAPID RESPONSE,
THAT SORT OF THING.

OH, GREAT.

SO LIKE CHASE, YOU'RE JUST
GONNA BE RUNNING OFF

AT ANY HINT OF TROUBLE
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD?

NOT EXACTLY.

WELL, IS THERE ONE OF THESE
RANGER BATTALIONS

AT FORT MARSHALL?

NO, BENNING...

LEWIS--

TREVOR, NO WAY.
WE JUST MOVED IN.

I JUST ORDERED A NEW COUCH.

IT WOULDN'T BE
FOR A WHILE.

I DON'T CARE WHEN IT IS.
WE'RE NOT GOING.

ROX--

NO, WHEN YOU APPLIED
TO O.C.S., YOU SAID

THAT OFFICERS SPEND AT LEAST
THREE YEARS IN ONE PLACE.

THAT WAS BEFORE ALL THE TALK
OF TROOP REDUCTIONS.

I DON'T CARE.

BABE...

A POSTING LIKE THIS,
IT'S A GOOD THING.

FOR YOU, MAYBE,

BUT NOT FOR ME
OR FOR THE KIDS.

ROXY--

I'M TAKING A BATH.
END OF DISCUSSION.

(shower curtain rings clang,
faucet squeaks)

WOW.
WHAT DISCUSSION?

(indistinct conversations)

(both speak indistinctly)

(indistinct conversations
continue)

(woman speaks indistinctly
over p.a.)

(sighs) TANYA.

DENISE, HEY.

HEY. CAN WE TALK?

SURE.

WHAT'S UP?

HOW LONG YOU BEEN SEEING
DR. HANSON?

(scoffs)

(woman speaks indistinctly
over p.a.)

(sighs) TANYA.

HOW DID YOU KNOW?
YOU WERE SEEN.

WHAT?

ROXY SAW YOU KISSING
DR. HANSON

IN THE PARKING LOT
OF THE HUMP BAR.

OF COURSE, SHE DIDN'T KNOW
WHO HE WAS,

BUT I JUST HAPPENED
TO SEE YOU WITH HIM NOW.

IT'S THAT OBVIOUS?

I DIDN'T MEAN
FOR IT TO HAPPEN.

I-I... DIDN'T EVEN
LIKE HIM AT FIRST.

LOOK, I UNDERSTAND HOW
ATTRACTIONS LIKE THIS HAPPEN.

BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
YOU KNOW THAT.

FRATERNIZATION BETWEEN RANKS
ISN'T JUST INAPPROPRIATE,

IT'S ILLEGAL.

YOU WON'T TELL,
WILL YOU?

OF COURSE NOT,
BUT OTHERS WOULD.

THEY'D BE PUTTING
THEIR OWN CAREERS AT RISK

IF THEY SAW SOMETHING
AND DIDN'T REPORT IT.

I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT.

TANYA, I LOVE YOU
LIKE A DAUGHTER.

YOU KNOW THAT.

AND I WANT YOU TO BE HAPPY
AGAIN WITH SOMEONE.

(sighs)
BUT NOT HIM. NOT LIKE THIS.

I-I CAN'T STAND BY
AND WATCH YOU RUIN YOUR CAREER.

YOU GOTTA END IT.
I'M SORRY.

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.

(woman speaks indistinctly
over p.a.)

(Blake) SHE'S RIGHT.

I MEAN, WE'VE BOTH KNOWN

THIS CAN ONLY END
IN DISASTER.

WE CAN'T KEEP OUR HANDS
OFF EACH OTHER.

(laughs) THAT'S NOT
A BAD THING, BLAKE.

(sighs)
IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, MAYBE.

LOOK, IF WE WERE CAUGHT,

THEY MIGHT JUST
SLAP YOU ON THE WRIST,

BUT I COULD END UP IN JAIL

OWING A SMALL FORTUNE
IN MED SCHOOL LOANS.

IT'S SO UNFAIR.

YEAH.

WELL, IT'S THE ARMY.

(exhales)

SO WHAT DO WE DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

END IT, I GUESS.

WE'VE TRIED.

I MEAN REALLY END IT.

IS THAT ALL I MEAN TO YOU?

TANYA--
IT'S JUST THAT EASY?

STOP IT.

NO, I WANT TO KNOW.

HOW DO YOU REALLY FEEL
ABOUT ME?

I GUESS THAT SAYS EVERYTHING.

TANYA, WAIT.

(sighs)

LOOK, I GOTTA GET BACK
TO WORK.

MY REAL DID
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME?

HE'S NOT YOUR REAL DAD.

HE'S YOUR, UH...
HE'S YOUR BIOLOGICAL FATHER.

RIGHT.

BUT, YES, THAT'S WHAT
MR. WILLIAMS SAYS.

HE MOVED TO CHICAGO BEFORE
HE KNEW YOUR MOM WAS PREGNANT.

AND MY MOM NEVER TOLD HIM
ABOUT ME?

I GUESS NOT.

WE DON'T KNOW THAT
FOR SURE.

WHY NOT?

BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY
TO CHECK OUT HIS STORY.

YOU THINK HE'S LYING, MOM?

YOUR MOTHER'S
NOT SAYING THAT.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT HIM. THAT'S ALL.

BUT HE REALLY IS MY FATHER?

MY BIOLOGICAL FATHER.

YES.

DO YOU LIKE HIM?

WE DON'T KNOW HIM
VERY WELL.

BUT WE WOULDN'T HAVE
TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM

IF WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS
OKAY FOR YOU TO MEET HIM.

DO I HAVE TO?

NO.

DO YOU WANT ME TO?

THAT'S ENTIRELY UP TO YOU.

(sighs)

IT'S A BIG DECISION,
BUT WE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS FAIR

FOR US TO MAKE IT FOR YOU.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO DECIDE
ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

THAT'S RIGHT, DUDE.

YOU TAKE AS MUCH TIME
AS YOU NEED.

(sighs)

I DON'T HAVE TO.

I DON'T WANT TO MEET HIM.

ARE YOU SURE?

I ALREADY HAVE
A MOM AND DAD.

OKAY, THEN.

THAT'S SETTLED.

WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, NO.
YOU HAVE TO SMELL IT FIRST.

SMELL IT? IT'S BEER.

NO, GO ON.
PUT YOUR SNOUT IN THERE.

GO ON.

WHAT DO YOU GET?
BURNT HAZELNUT?

MM-HMM.

MAYBE HINTS OF CARAMEL?

THAT'S AMAZING.
YEAH?

NOW LET'S CONSIDER APPEARANCE.

AS YOU'LL SEE,
ALL THE DIFFERENT SHADES.

THIS WOULD BE YOUR DARK BEER.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

CHIEF'S TEACHING ME
ABOUT BEER.

OH, YEAH?

WELL, WHAT ABOUT GETTING
THIS PLACE READY FOR BUSINESS?

ALL DONE.

DON'T BE MAD, ROX.

CHIEF'S AN EXPERT
ON MICROBREWS.

WELL, GOOD FOR CHIEF.

BUT AT THE HUMP, ALL YOU NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT BEER

IS THAT YOU PULL IT FROM A TAP
OR POUR IT FROM A BOTTLE.

SO CAN YOU GET THESE THINGS
OFF THE TABLE?

AND WHAT IS
THAT GOD-AWFUL SMELL?

WHAT SMELL? (sniffs)

UGH. WHAT DID YOU PUT
IN THE GUMBO THIS MORNING,

ROAD KILL?

SAME AS ALWAYS, BOSS.

WELL, WE CAN'T SERVE THAT,
SO THROW IT OUT.

START OVER.

WHO PULLED THE PIN
ON HER GRENADE?

YOU TOLD CLAUDIA JOY
THAT YOU'D BE HER DONOR

BEFORE DISCUSSING IT
WITH FRANK?

IT JUST HAPPENED.

NO, I-I UNDERSTAND,

AND I THINK IT'S AMAZING,
DENISE.

(chuckles) WELL,
I'M GLAD YOU DO,

BECAUSE FRANK
IS NOT TALKING TO ME.

AT ALL?

WHEN I GOT HOME
FROM WORK LAST NIGHT,

HE WAS ASLEEP,

AND HE MADE SURE HE WAS
UP AND OUT THIS MORNING

BEFORE WE COULD SAY A WORD.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY,

HE'S GOT A RIGHT TO BE ANGRY.

REMEMBER, FRANK SAT BY
WHILE YOU WERE IN A COMA

AFTER THE HURRICANE.

YOU KNOW, HE ALMOST LOST YOU
ONCE BY ACCIDENT.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO
FACE THAT AGAIN BY CHOICE.

I HADN'T THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT.

DO YOU WANT MY ADVICE?

THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.

(sighs deeply)

THE ONLY WAY THAT
I CAN SEE THROUGH THIS

IS TO GIVE FRANK
THE TRUTH.

I'D ARRANGE A MEETING
WITH YOUR SURGEON,

HAVE THE DOCTOR LAY OUT
ALL THE RISKS TO FRANK

AND TELL HIM HE CAN ASK
ANY QUESTIONS HE WANTS.

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.

FRANK MAY NOT BELIEVE ME,
BUT HE'D BELIEVE DR. DAVIES.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

RIGHT.

HE DON'T WANNA MEET ME?

HE SAID HE ALREADY HAS
A MOTHER AND FATHER.

MAYBE IT'S THE WAY
YOU ASKED.

WE PUT IT TO HIM
AS CLEANLY AS WE COULD.

YEAH, "HOW'D YOU LIKE TO MEET
YOUR THIEVIN' FATHER?"

IT WASN'T LIKE THAT.

WE DIDN'T EVEN BRING UP
YOUR PAST.

DAVID MADE THE CALL
ON HIS OWN.

HEY, TRY TO SEE IT
FROM HIS SIDE.

DAVID WAS BOUNCED AROUND
SO MUCH BEFORE WE MET,

THE IDEA OF MEETING YOU
HAS GOTTA BE CONFUSING,

TO SAY THE LEAST.

MAYBE WHEN HE'S
A LITTLE OLDER.

WHEN HE'S A LITTLE OLDER,
WHO KNOWS WHERE I'LL BE.

LOOK, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU.

WE AGREED
TO LEAVE IT UP TO DAVID,

AND WE DID.

LOOK, MAN...

I BARELY KNEW
MY OWN FATHER.

WE NEVER HAD WHAT
YOU MIGHT CALL QUALITY TIME.

I DON'T WANT THE SAME THING
HAPPENING WITH MY SON.

I WANT HIM TO KNOW,

I WOULD'VE BEEN THERE FOR HIM
IF I COULDA BEEN.

I GET IT.

WELL, A LOT OF GOOD
THAT DOES ME.

I'M SORRY, MAN.

OH, IT AIN'T OVER.

WE'LL BE GOING IN
LAPAROSCOPICALLY,

WHICH MEANS
A QUICKER RECOVERY,

LESS PAIN,
AND A SMALLER SCAR.

WELL, HOW LONG DOES
THE OPERATION TAKE?

WELL, FROM PRE-OP TO RECOVERY,
TWO TO THREE HOURS.

THEN 48 HOURS IN THE HOSPITAL
FOR OBSERVATION,

AND YOU CAN
TAKE YOUR WIFE HOME.

IF EVERYTHING
GOES SMOOTHLY.

WHICH IT SHOULD.

BUT THERE ARE RISKS?

WELL, ANYTIME A PERSON
UNDERGOES GENERAL ANESTHESIA,

THERE'S A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF AN UNANTICIPATED REACTION.

UNANTICIPATED
AS IN DYING.

WELL, WITH SOMEONE
IN EXCELLENT HEALTH

LIKE DENISE,
THAT'S EXTREMELY RARE.

BUT IT'S POSSIBLE?

YES.

AND THERE ARE OTHER
POTENTIAL RISKS AS WELL--

INFECTION, BLOOD CLOTS,
TO NAME TWO--

WHICH IS WHY WE KEEP DONORS
UNDER OBSERVATION

BEFORE BEING RELEASED.

UH, WHAT'S BEEN YOUR
DIRECT EXPERIENCE, DR. DAVIES?

I'VE BEEN DOING
KIDNEY TRANSPLANTS FOR 15 YEARS

AND I'VE NEVER HAD
A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH A DONOR.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT IT COULDN'T HAPPEN?

NO, NO ONE CAN EVER
GUARANTEE THAT.

WHAT ARE THE STATISTICS?

I MEAN, HOW MANY PEOPLE DIE
DONATING KIDNEYS EACH YEAR?

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ASK
THAT QUESTION,

AND I LOOKED IT UP
BEFORE YOU GOT HERE.

THE ANSWER IS 2 TO 3 DEATHS
IN EVERY 10,000 DONATIONS.

TWO TO THREE?

BUT WHAT THE RAW DATA
DOESN'T PROVIDE

ARE THE--THE MEDICAL HISTORIES

OF THE DONORS
PRIOR TO SURGERY.

I CAN ASSURE YOU,
FOR SOMEONE LIKE DENISE,

THE RISKS ARE EVEN SMALLER
THAN THAT.

I SEE.

WELL, UH,
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

IF I MAY,
COLONEL SHERWOOD,

WHAT YOUR WIFE IS DOING
IS A BEAUTIFUL THING.

IT WILL ALLOW MRS. HOLDEN
TO LEAD A NORMAL LIFE AGAIN

WITH MINIMAL IMPACT
TO DENISE.

YOUR WIFE WILL BE ABLE
TO ENJOY ALL THE ACTIVITIES

SHE DID BEFORE.

DENISE.

THANK YOU.

(door opens)

SO I-I THINK DR. DAVIES
MADE EVERYTHING CLEAR.

DON'T YOU?

OH, CRYSTAL.

(sighs) FRANK.

(sighs) THE RISK
IS TOO HIGH, D.

BUT--
D., IT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

YOU'RE MY WIFE
AND THE MOTHER OF OUR DAUGHTER.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
NO.

YOU HEARD THE DOCTOR.
NO ONE CAN MAKE THAT PROMISE.

FRANK--
I DON'T WANT YOU DOING IT,

AND NOTHING'S
GONNA CHANGE MY MIND.

(Joan)
HOW'D HE TAKE IT?

NOT WELL.

WHAT A SURPRISE.

(sighs) HE SAYS
IT'S NOT OVER.

WHAT?
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

HE'S GONNA TAKE US
TO COURT?

I DON'T KNOW, JOAN.

HE'S BLUFFING.

MAYBE.

TELL THE TRUTH,
I FELT FOR THE GUY.

TURNS OUT, HE'S GOT SOME
ABANDONMENT ISSUES HIMSELF.

TOO BAD FOR HIM.

I DON'T WANT DAVID HAVING
ANYTHING TO DO WITH THAT MAN.

HE HAD NO RIGHT BARGING IN
ON OUR LIVES LIKE THAT.

JOAN,
HE'S THE BOY'S FATHER.

NO, NO, HE'S NOT.

YOU ARE HIS FATHER.

LOOK, WHAT I MEAN IS,

IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE THAT
HE WANTS TO SEE HIS CHILD.

ROLAND,
WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS.

WE HANDLED IT IN THE RIGHT WAY,
AND NOW IT'S SETTLED.

SO PLEASE...

LET'S NOT
TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

DINNER IN TEN.

(utensils clattering)

ORDER OF SCALLOPS.

CHIEF, WHERE ARE
THOSE HAMBURGERS?

THEY WERE UP
A MINUTE AGO.

I ALREADY TOOK 'EM,
ROXY.

WELL, WHY DIDN'T YOU
SAY SO?

SORRY.

YOU OKAY, BOSS?

I'M FINE.
JUST A LITTLE HEADACHE.

I'LL DO THAT.
YOU DO THE REGISTER.

OKAY.

(groans)

ROXY.

I NEED TO SIT DOWN.

OKAY, COME ON.

HEY, LIEUTENANT.

THANKS FOR CALLING.

SURE. SHE'S IN THE OFFICE.

WHAT HAPPENED?

I DON'T KNOW.
SHE JUST KINDA FAINTED.

I THOUGHT
SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH HER.

SHE'S BEEN IN A BAD MOOD
ALL DAY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ME.

REALLY?
I THOUGHT IT WAS ME.

♪♪♪

HEY, BABE.

I TOLD 'EM NOT TO CALL YOU.
I'M FINE.

YOU FAINTED.

I DIDN'T FAINT.
I JUST GOT A LITTLE DIZZY.

IT'S A WASTED TRIP.

AND WHO'S WATCHING
THE BOYS?

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE BOYS.

CAN I GET UP NOW,
WARDEN, PLEASE?

THANK YOU.

WHOA.

OH, OKAY. OKAY,
WE'RE GOING HOME.

UGH.
RIGHT NOW.

WAIT. I NEED MY PURSE.

OHH.

(Trevor) I THINK YOU SHOULD
SEE A DOCTOR TOMORROW.

(Roxy) WHAT FOR?

WHAT FOR?

UH, YOU FAINTED,
YOU'VE BEEN HAVING HEADACHES,

AND YOU'VE BEEN
IN A TERRIBLE MOOD.

SAYS WHO?

SAYS EVERYONE.

I WANT TO TAKE YOU
TO A DOCTOR.

NO.

ROX.

(muffled voice)
OH, GOD.

(vomits)

(sighs)

YOU OKAY IN THERE,
BABE?

(normal voice) I'M FINE!
(toilet flushes)

(sighs)

I WASN'T SURE
YOU'D COME.

I WASN'T EITHER.

SO WHAT AM I DOING HERE?

I DIDN'T LIKE THE WAY

OUR CONVERSATION ENDED
LAST NIGHT.

OH, YOU MEAN,
RUNNING AWAY INTO THE NIGHT?

THE HOSPITAL PARKING LOT
ISN'T THE IDEAL PLACE

TO HAVE A... AN INTIMATE
CONVERSATION.

(sighs) BLAKE,

WE HAVEN'T DONE MUCH TALKING
SINCE WE MET,

REGARDLESS OF THE LOCATION.

WELL, I DIDN'T THINK
YOU MINDED THAT.

I DIDN'T TILL NOW.

I MEAN, WHAT DO WE REALLY
KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER?

WELL, I THINK
WE KNOW PLENTY.

OH.

(sighs)

WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TELL ME?

I WAS ENGAGED
A YEAR AGO.

I USED TO BE MARRIED.

REALLY?

TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR FIANCE.

UM...

HE WAS A SOLDIER...

I MET IN AFGHANISTAN.

THE CUP OF COFFEE?

YOU TOLD ME IN AFRICA
THAT THERE WAS A SOLDIER

WHO OFFERED TO BUY YOU A CUP
OF COFFEE IN A COMBAT ZONE.

THAT WAS HIM?

SO WHAT HAPPENED?

HE WAS KILLED IN ACTION.

I'M SORRY.

YOU'RE THE FIRST MAN
I'VE KISSED SINCE THEN.

(inhales)

(exhales deeply)

YOUR TURN.

WELL, I MET MEREDITH

WHEN WE WERE AT U.C.L.A.

UH, WE GOT MARRIED RIGHT AFTER
I GOT INTO MED SCHOOL.

SHE WAS A SPEECH THERAPIST.

WHAT HAPPENED?

SHE FOUND SOMEONE ELSE.

SAID I WASN'T GIVING HER
ENOUGH ATTENTION,

WAS TOO WRAPPED UP
IN MY WORK.

NOW I'M SORRY.

NO.

SHE WAS RIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO SAY

YOU'RE THE FIRST WOMAN I'VE
KISSED SINCE THEN, BUT...

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

BUT YOU ARE THE FIRST ONE
I COULD SEE A FUTURE WITH

SINCE MEREDITH.

(gasps)

HEY, DUDE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

I CAN'T SLEEP.

COME ON IN.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

I'VE BEEN THINKING.

THINKING ABOUT WHAT?

(sighs)

YOU CAN TELL US.

WHEN I WAS LITTLE,

I USED TO WONDER
WHO MY DAD WAS, YOU KNOW?

GRANDMA DIDN'T KNOW.

SHE TOLD ME
I WAS HER LITTLE GIFT.

WHEN SHE DIED,
I WENT INTO FOSTER CARE.

(sighs)

I USED TO DREAM
ABOUT HIM SOMETIMES.

REALLY?

YEAH.

HE LOOKED JUST LIKE
WILL SMITH.

(sighs)

WE DID ALL SORTS
OF FUN THINGS TOGETHER.

I USED TO DREAM...

THAT HE'D SHOW UP ONE DAY
AND TAKE ME AWAY.

YOU WANT TO MEET HIM,
DON'T YOU?

ARE YOU MAD?

NOT AT ALL, HONEY.

I KNOW
YOU DON'T LIKE HIM, MOM.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

I HEARD YOU AND DAD
TALKING ABOUT HIM

BEFORE DINNER.

I WAS ON THE STAIRS.

I DIDN'T MEAN--

IT'S OKAY. IT'S A COMPLICATED
SITUATION FOR ALL OF US.

WE JUST DON'T KNOW
THAT MAN.

AND WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

(voice breaks)
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

DON'T CRY, MOM.

I DON'T HAVE TO MEET HIM.
I'M SORRY.

IT'S OKAY, DAVID.

YOUR MOM'S GONNA BE FINE.

RIGHT?

(sniffles)

WE'RE ALL GONNA BE
JUST FINE.

AND I THINK
IT'S THE RIGHT CHOICE.

YOU DO?

KNOWING WHO BROUGHT YOU
INTO THIS WORLD,

THAT'S A QUESTION
WORTH ANSWERING.

BUT I GOTTA
TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT?

MM.

WILL SMITH...

THAT'S SETTING THE BAR
PRETTY HIGH.

(all laugh)

COMING TO BED?

LATER.

FRANK, ARE WE GONNA
TALK ABOUT THIS?

NOTHIN' TO TALK ABOUT, D.

(sighs)

I TOLD YOU HOW I FEEL.

WE HAVE THE TEST RESULTS,
MRS. LEBLANC.

THAT WAS FAST.

SO YOU KNOW
WHY SHE'S BEEN FAINTING?

WE DO.
AND WITH THE HEADACHES

AND THE--

WILL YOU LET HER SPEAK?

SORRY.

NO PROBLEM,
LIEUTENANT.

MRS. LEBLANC,
YOU'RE PREGNANT.

I THOUGHT WE AGREED
NOT TO DO THIS ANYMORE.

EXACTLY,

WHICH IS WHY I CALLED
A FRIEND AT FORT LEE.

THEY HAVE AN OPENING
FOR, UH, AN E.R. DOCTOR.

YOU'RE LEAVING?

NEXT WEEK.

BUT WHAT ABOUT US?

WHAT ABOUT US?

IT'S OVER?

(laughs) NO.

NO, YOU DOPE.

THIS MEANS,
I WANT THIS TO WORK.

LOOK, IF I GO TO FORT LEE,

THROW MYSELF INTO THE JOB
IN MY USUAL OBSESSIVE MANNER,

I CAN HANDLE THE FOUR MONTHS
WHEN WE'RE APART

UNTIL YOUR CONTRACT COMES UP.

BUT IF I STAY HERE

AND I... SEE YOU EVERYDAY,

I'LL END UP
A CONVICTED FELON.

(chuckles)

WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE,
ADMITTEDLY, BUT STILL--

WHOA. NOT RIGHT NOW.
(laughs)

LOOK,
FORT LEE'S IN VIRGINIA.

WE CAN STILL SEE EACH OTHER--
DAYS OFF OCCASIONALLY, MAYBE.

MAYBE?

THERE'S STILL A RISK.

I'LL WEAR SUNGLASSES.

ANYTHING ELSE?

JUST SUNGLASSES.

(laughs) PERFECT.

(laughs)

(sighs)

SO I GUESS THIS MEANS
WE'RE GOING STEADY NOW.

GUESS SO.

I GOTTA GO.

I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

(door opens)

COME ON IN.

DAVID, THIS IS, UH,
MARCUS WILLIAMS.

HOW YOU DOIN', DAVID?

GOOD.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO CALL YOU.

HOW ABOUT WE JUST
MAKE IT MARCUS?

PLEASED TO MEET YOU, MARCUS.

SAME HERE, LITTLE MAN.

SAME HERE.

(Denise) MM.

I PUT MYSELF
IN AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.

IF I GO THROUGH WITH
THE OPERATION,

I ALIENATE MY HUSBAND,

AND IF I CANCEL IT,
I LOSE MY BEST FRIEND.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

HOW WOULD YOU FEEL
IF YOU WERE CLAUDIA JOY?

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING, SHE
WOULD NEVER TURN HER BACK ON ME.

SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE,
JACKIE.

I CAN'T JEOPARDIZE MY MARRIAGE

AFTER EVERYTHING FRANK AND I
HAVE BEEN THROUGH TOGETHER.

(sighs)

I KNOW IT'S TOUGH,

BUT I THINK YOU'RE MAKING
THE RIGHT CALL.

AND I THINK YOU'RE WRONG

ABOUT LOSING CLAUDIA JOY
AS A FRIEND.

FROM WHAT I KNOW OF HER,
SHE'D BE THE FIRST PERSON

TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED.

THAT ONLY MAKES IT WORSE.

WHAT YOU DID
YOU DID OUT OF LOVE, DENISE.

DON'T FORGET THAT.

(sighs)

FRANK, HOLD UP.

SIR?

I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE
TO THANK YOU.

THANK ME, SIR?

CLAUDIA JOY
DOES HER BEST TO HIDE IT,

BUT I KNOW THIS DIALYSIS
HAS BEEN HELL ON HER.

NOT JUST PHYSICALLY.

HER WHOLE OUTLOOK
HAS BEEN AFFECTED.

MM.

SHE ALWAYS USED TO
GET UP IN THE MORNING,

LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY,
NO MATTER WHAT WAS GOING ON.

THAT'S THE WOMAN I MARRIED.

AND THAT WOMAN
HASN'T BEEN AROUND LATELY.

IT'S THE DIALYSIS.

I UNDERSTAND, SIR.

AND IT COULD'VE GONE ON
LIKE THIS FOR YEARS...

(clears throat)

IF DENISE
HADN'T STEPPED FORWARD.

I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS
TO TELL YOU HOW GRATEFUL I AM.

YOU KNOW, AS SOLDIERS,

WE'RE USED TO PUTTING OUR LIVES
ON THE LINE FOR EACH OTHER.

WHAT'S AMAZING IS TO SEE
OUR WIVES FEEL THE SAME WAY.

YES, SIR.

IT IS REMARKABLE.

SIR, WILL YOU EXCUSE ME?

CERTAINLY.

(beeps)

(keypad beeps)

(cell phone rings)

(beeps)

DENISE.

Hey, Claudia Joy.

I'D LIKE TO COME BY
IF THAT'S OKAY.

SURE. WHAT'S UP?

UM, YOU KNOW, I'D RATHER
TALK ABOUT IT IN PERSON.

SURE.
IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

UH, NOT EXACTLY.

COME ON OVER.

OKAY, GREAT.
I'LL--I'LL SEE YOU IN TEN.

I'LL BE HERE.

(beep)

(door opens)

FRANK,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME?

WELL, I WANTED TO TALK.

WELL, WE DON'T NEED TO TALK.
I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.

I'M ON MY WAY TO CLAUDIA JOY'S
TO TELL HER...

NO.
THAT I CAN'T GO--

LOOK, I WON'T LIE, D.

THE THOUGHT OF LOSING YOU...

THAT SCARES ME MORE THAN
ANYTHING IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

I THINK I COULD HANDLE
ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT.

AND IT JUST GETS ME...

UH, I DON'T--ALL TANGLED UP
INSIDE, YOU KNOW?

SO IT TOOK ME A WHILE
TO REMEMBER THAT

WELL, THAT LOVE IS STRONGER
THAN FEAR.

AND WHEN LIVES ARE ON THE LINE,

THAT'S WHEN LOVE SHOULD BE
ITS STRONGEST, NOT ITS WEAKEST.

SO I'M SORRY.

YOU KNOW, I'M SORRY THAT I--
I DIDN'T REMEMBER THAT.

IT'S OKAY.

NO, CLAUDIA JOY
IS FAMILY TO YOU,

AND TO ME, TOO.

SO...

D., I'M ON BOARD.

ARE YOU SURE?

WHATEVER IT TAKES.

WE'LL GET THROUGH IT
TOGETHER.

ALL RIGHT?

OH, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
(chuckles)

(sniffles and laughs)
