[theme music]

[tranquil music]

[pulsations]

[helicopter whirring]

[explosions]

[gunfire]

Come on!

[metal clatters]

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to wake you.

I dropped the chart.

It was really clumsy of me.

I haven't seen
you before, have I?

No, I'm Commander Michaels.

I work in the emergency room.

I was there the day
they brought you in.

I'm just here to check your
progress for Dr. Pierson.

Oh, I see.

Well, it's nice to
meet you, Commander.

I'm David Hastings.

So do those charts
tell you that I'll

be getting out of here soon?

Well, it says it shouldn't
be too much longer,

but Dr. Pierson's gonna have
to be the judge of that.

What's the matter, Commander?

Something crawling on me?

[chuckles] I'm sorry, David.

I didn't realize I was staring.

[telephone rings]

Hello.

Oh, hi, Mom.

No, no, it's OK.

You didn't wake me.

Yeah.

Can you hold on a second, Mom?

It was nice to meet
you, Commander.

It was nice to
meet you too, David.

Hi.

Yeah, they say it looks
like I'll be getting

out of here pretty soon.

[insects humming]

[doorbell chimes]

Matt.

[scoffs] Campbell,
why aren't you ready?

Oh.

Oh, I'm sorry, Matt.

I just-- I completely forgot.

[sighs] Well, can I come in?

Oh, yeah, sure.

What's going on?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Well, it's still early.

Why don't you go get dressed,
and I'll call the restaurant

and change reservations, hmm?

I-- I just--

I really don't feel up to it.

[ice clinking]

Why don't you just
be honest with me?

About what, Matt?

I said I forgot.

[sighs] I don't know
what else to say.

Well, you can start
with what's going on.

You've been avoiding
me like the plague.

I'm just going through
some changes, OK?

Is this part of your changes?

This is none of your business.

I think it is.

There's another man
in your life, Kim.

That's why you're playing
this little game with me.

I think you
better leave, Matt.

Is there somebody else?

Yes, yes, there's somebody
else, and he's right here.

Do you hear me,
Commander Rogers?

I love him.

I love him.

[dramatic music]

[door slams]

[chuckles] That's the
trouble with angels.

They don't operate on real time.

JONATHAN: Hi, Mark.

[groans] Jonathan, will
you not do that to me?

Hey, I'm sorry.
OK?

What's the matter?
You have a bad day?

Yeah.

Tonight's probably
gonna be worse.

Well, what's going on tonight?

[sighs] Colonel
Mahon and I are

going out to dinner together.

Yeah?
Well, that's great.

See, what did I tell you?

You just have to
use a little charm.

No, no, no, no,
you got it all wrong.

She came into my office, almost
ordered me to go with her.

[scoffs] The last thing
in the world I want to do

is spend an entire evening
with Colonel Stiff Britches.

Well, look, there's
nothing I can do about it.

MARK: Yeah, yeah, there is.

You can come with us.

I can just call
her up and tell her

that I asked you to go along.

Oh, no, I'm busy tonight.

MARK: Come on, Jonathan.

You gotta go.

Hey, look, we're
partners, right?

Partners are supposed
to stick together.

Yeah, Mark, I can't.

I've got to take Kimberly
to that first meeting

of the Veterans Outreach.

You're just gonna have to
handle her by yourself.

Well, that's great.

We'll probably have some
delightful conversation.

Oh, come on.

I don't know what
you're so upset about.

I met the Colonel.

She seems like a
real nice person.

Sure, if you like
General Patton in a skirt.

[engine revving]

I'm gonna have dinner
with Ernie Borgnine.

[knocking on door]

[deep sigh]

Hi, Mark.

Mark?

Is there something wrong?

Hmm?

No, no, no.

[chuckles] Everything's
just right.

Never seen you like this.

You know, your uniform
covers all your--

uh-- [clears throat]
you ready to go?

I'll just get my purse.

I'm sure you're going to
like this restaurant, Mark.

It's called The Natural Wonder.

Oh, Colonel Mahon,
you like it, I like it.

Please, call me Fran.

Well, Fran, there's
a nice juicy steak

out there with my name on.

Well, I'm afraid they don't
serve meat where we're going.

This is a health
food restaurant.

Hey, well I'm easy to please.

Shall we go and dine?

Yeah.

What the heck, Gordon?

You can get a nice
piece of meat anytime.

It was my job as chief
nurse to determine which

of the wounded had to be treated
first while the others could

only be comforted.

I was supposed to decide which
of those sons and fathers

was worse off than the other.

Was it the boy who--

whose legs were blown
off when he stepped

on a landmine or the
chopper pilot who

was burned when he was
blown out of the sky

trying to pick up the wounded?

When Linda asked if any
of us had a sense of guilt

as a result of
Vietnam, well, I do.

[sobbing]

Because for 12 months I
was supposed to play God.

And to this day, I still see
those faces, sons who'd never

again see their parents and
husbands who'd never again

see their wives and children.

I was, uh--

[deep sigh] I was working in
special services in the Mekong

Delta, and it was my job to--

[deep sigh] to set up
service clubs, you know,

places where the men could relax
during their off-duty hours.

It was a relatively
safe area, so it

was pretty common to travel
the roads without incident.

We were running late this
one Friday afternoon,

and we got a late
start back to the base,

and I was the only woman
on the back of the truck.

Sergeant Wagner needed
to relieve himself.

He was-- he was just a kid, and
he didn't want to embarrass me,

so he jumped off the
truck, and he ran--

[crying] he went
into the bushes.

Well, that was when
I heard an explosion.

He stepped on a mine, and
he was killed all because he

didn't want to embarrass me.

[sobbing]

Honey?

Honey, you didn't
cause that boy's death.

It was the war.

[sobs] I know.

But if I hadn't--

if I hadn't been on that truck,
then maybe he'd still be alive.

And maybe he wouldn't.

Things happen, and
you can't change that.

It's how we deal with them
after they happen that counts.

Honey, I know what
I'm talking about.

Hmm?

[sighs] I'm old enough to be
a mother to any one of you.

[chuckles] Maybe even
your grandmother.

But I'm no different
than you are.

My pain's the same.

I just lived with it
longer, that's all.

It was the end of World War II.

I was on Guam working as--

as a nurse and I met him.

His name was Frank.

He was a pilot with
the Army Air Force

and flew his
missions out of Guam.

Well, it didn't take long for
us to fall in love, you know?

I mean, we were just two
kids in the middle of a war

I mean, we were just two
kids in the middle of a war

thousands of miles from home.

[taps cigarette]

They wouldn't let us
get married, hmph,

but that didn't stop us.

I mean, we found a local
judge to perform the ceremony,

and we spent our honeymoon
night out on the beach.

[chuckles]

Well, Frank's plane was
shot down the next day.

And I was on duty when
they brought him in.

He was hurt very bad, and we all
worked desperately to save him,

but my husband died.

He died right in front of me.

[somber music]

I never got to tell
him that I loved him.

I never got to tell him goodbye.

[crying]

[dramatic music]

You doing all right?

Yes.

You know, I was really
hesitant about going tonight,

and I'm really glad I did.

I'm glad you did too.

You know you're
not alone anymore.

Knowing that's very important.

Oh, I know Jonathan.

But I also know those
feelings they were talking

about because I've
had them and the pain

that goes along with them.

Well, that's what the group
is for, talking about the hurt

and getting past it.

Maybe sometime you'll share
some of your pain with them.

[melancholy music]

[romantic music]

Mark, you really ought
to finish your tofu burger.

It's very good for you.

I'll bet.

Anything that tastes that bad
has got to be good for you.

I think it's delicious.

You do?

[chuckles] Well, I guess I'm
more of a salami, jalapeno man.

Do you know what salami does
to your cholesterol count?

No.

I just know I like it.

I've been eating it all my life.

When was the last time you had
your cholesterol level checked?

The last time I
had my car serviced.

Mark, I'm serious.

I don't know.

I don't think I've
ever had it checked.

That's like
committing slow suicide.

Tomorrow, you're going in
for a complete physical.

Oh, come on, Fran.

That's an order, Gordon.

Yes, ma'am.

Here you go, Fran.

Thanks, Willie.

What's this?

Well, I thought you might
enjoy an after dinner drink.

Hey, that's a little
more down my alley.

[chuckles] To friendship.

And your physical.

Hmph.

Ooh.

What is that?

That's not creme de menthe.

Wheatgrass.

Wish they'd have
raked the lawn first.

Pooey.

Believe me.

Once you're used to natural
foods, you're gonna be hooked.

It gives you so much energy.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Oh, my purse.

Oh, I'll get it.

No, you won't.

I left it in the women's room.

You're right, I won't.

Be right back.

Oh, boy.

[chuckles]

[upbeat country music]

How ya' doing?

Hey, will you
release that for me?

I don't have a whole lot of--

what are you doing?

Like he's told!

You better too.

Oh, good god.

Oh, yeah, that's a good boy.

Now, don't move.

Put the rest of the
money in the bag.

Come on.

Hurry up!

Come on, the money!

Look, you shouldn't--

Shut up.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Hurry up!

Come on!

Give me your money!

Don't move.

Don't move.

Don't move!

Yeah, that's a
good boy, good boy.

Yes, be still now.

Don't move or I'll
blow your head off!

Stay still.

Yeah, that-- that's it.

Don't move.

Yeah, that's a
good boy, good boy.

Don't move.

[thwack]

[shrieks]

You want some more, turkey?

See what a little
health food will do?

Give me a bottle
of wheatgrass.

[humming]

Huh, what's all this stuff?

This is breakfast.

You want some?

No, thank you.

How'd it go last night?

Oh, Fran and I
had a fine time.

Fran?

What happened to Old
Colonel Stiff Britches?

Well, last night, I
just happened to see

her in a different light.

Oh, sure.

And this-- this new diet,
does it have something

to do with Fran, does it?

That's right.

She's gonna help
me get into shape.

And from now on, buddy,
this is the only kind

of stuff I'm eating--

healthy.

[laughs] So how'd
it go with Kimberly

and her outreach group?

Oh, I think it's
going to help her.

It's just going to take time.

She's carrying
around a lot of pain.

She's gonna have to get it out.

Well, I got to get to work.

You, uh, enjoy breakfast.

I will, kimosabe.

[chuckles]

[blender whirring]

[sighs] My friend said
you are what you eat.

[groans] I'm a cesspool.

REPORTER (ON TV): And a
spokesman for the White House

said the president
would sign the bill

as soon as it reached his desk.

The Department of
Defense announced today

that a fact finding delegation
led by New Mexico Senator

Albert Zuniga had concluded
its trip to North Vietnam

and had brought back
the remains of five

American servicemen
who had been identified

by the forensics lab in Hawaii.

The five had previously been
listed as missing in action

by the Defense Department,
but today's announcement

officially changes their
status from missing

to killed in action.

The announcement
finally ends the years

of heartache for those families
who have waited anxiously

for word of their loved ones.

To the families and relatives
of those five servicemen,

we extend our deepest sympathy.

They have been identified as Air
Force Colonel Robert Loeffler,

Gardner, Colorado;
Marine Captain Gerald

Taylor of Coronado, California;
Navy Commander Marvin Coyle,

New Haven, Connecticut;
Army Warrant Officer Joseph

Johnston, Billings, Montana;
and Navy Lieutenant William

Campbell of Beeville, Texas.

We salute all of
these servicemen

who have given their lives
for the cause of freedom.

[dramatic music]

[somber music]

I heard the newscast,
Kim, I'm sorry.

[sighs] For over 17 years,
I've been waiting for this

day to arrive, Jonathan.

Dreading it,
preparing for it like

it was some terrible
monster that was going

to come and tear out my heart.

Oh, well, that monster
finally arrived.

The pain I feel today hurts
as much as a day to day Bill

was shot down.

Well, I know how much
this is hurting you, Kim.

But as painful as that
is, Bill's death will

finally allow you to be free--

free of the pain,
free of the heartache,

maybe even free of the guilt.

What guilt?

You had Bill's baby and
then put him up for adoption,

didn't you?

How did you find that out?

Well, I am your doctor.

I had your file.

I saw where you left the
service to have the baby

and then came back in again when
you put him up for adoption.

[sighs] You know, after
Bill was shot down, my whole

world was turned inside out.

Here I was all alone and
pregnant by the man I knew

in my heart was still alive.

Nowadays, I could have
kept my baby and my career,

but back then it was impossible.

But I was determined
to get back to Vietnam.

So after the baby was born,
I put it up for adoption

and went back into active duty.

[sniffles] Bill was
still over there.

I wanted to be the--

I wanted to be there
when he was found.

I wanted to be the one
to treat his wounds,

and I wanted to be the
one to make it all better.

[sighs] But it didn't turn out
the way you expected, did it?

You lost your son, and
now you've lost Bill.

Don't you think I
know that, Jonathan?

I have been living with
that guilt for 17 years.

I have lost--

I have lost two big pieces of
my heart, two pieces I will

never be able to have again.

Kim, you were unable to
treat Bill when he was hurt,

but you are able
to treat his son.

What are you talking about?

The boy in the motorcycle
accident, David Hastings.

He's the child you
and Bill created.

[dramatic music]

David finally fell asleep.

[sighs] He's been pretty nervous
ever since Jonathan called.

Travis, talk to me, OK?

Tell me what you're thinking.

All right, Annie,
I'll tell you.

When David first told
me about all of this,

I was kind of worried about
him meeting his birth parents.

Well, insecure is more like
it, but Mark convinced me

that David's love for me and you
was gonna outweigh everything.

Well, that was before I
found out that David's father

was a Navy fighter pilot.

[scoffs] I'm in competition
with a dead hero.

What are you
talking about, Travis?

You're not in
competition with anyone.

Ah, come on,
Annie, look at me.

I'm no pilot.

I'm just a lousy
grunt whose feet

have never left the ground.

I don't want her to see him,
to talk to him-- no contact.

We have to let David meet her.

[sighs]

Travis, I
understand your fear.

But this competition,
if there is any,

is with a memory, nothing more.

Yeah, well maybe
that's enough.

Why can't she just
leave us alone?

Travis, have you forgotten
there's two of us here?

I'm involved in this
thing too, remember?

I know that, Annie.

Well give some thought
to how I might feel.

Here you are worried about
losing David to some memory.

What about me?

Kimberly Michaels is
someone alive and real,

someone David can talk to,
someone David can touch.

If anyone should be worried
about competition here,

it should be--
- Annie, I'm sorry.

--wait.

You don't understand.

I'm not afraid of her.

I've given David my
unconditional love

for 18 years.

And in my heart--

in my heart I know I have
nothing to worry about.

David will be fine.

Honey, this woman may
have given David birth,

but we've given him life.

Yeah.

You're right.

Yeah.

Everything's gonna
be all right, huh?

Hey, it's got to be.

[doorbell chimes]

[door opening]

TRAVIS: Hey, Mark, Jonathan.

Hello, ma'am.

MARK: Hello, Travis.

TRAVIS: Uh, come on in, folks.

[door closing]

Annie, Travis, this
is Kimberly Michaels.

Kim, this is Travis
Hastings and his wife Annie.

Ms. Michaels.

Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Where's David?

He's waiting outside
in the backyard.

I know this is very
uncomfortable for both of you,

and I--

I really appreciate this.

Has he said anything about
how he feels towards me?

ANNIE: No, just that he
wants to talk to you.

Maybe it would be better
if we all went together.

I think it would be better
if you had this time with him

alone.

ANNIE: You go on ahead.

He's waiting for you.

Thank you.

TRAVIS: Uh, Ms. Michaels?

Yeah?

I, uh--

I just want to thank
you for giving us David.

He's a-- he's a fine son.

Thank you for being
his mother and father.

[wistful music]

[deep sigh]

JOYCE: I was hurting inside, and
I needed something to help it.

Well, the pills
weren't doing the job,

so I thought a little bourbon
might get me right into limbo.

What it got me was
wrapped around a tree.

I just thank god I
didn't hurt anybody.

When I came to, I was in
the trauma care center.

And for the first time,
I felt good about Vietnam

because the treatment
we learned over

there is now being used
in shock trauma units

all over this country.

It feels great to know that what
we went through wasn't in vain.

Doctors and nurses are saving
lives because of all of us.

As for the booze, well,
I'm working on it.

And I think this time
I'm going to win.

[chuckling]

Oh.

Thank you, Joyce, for
sharing that with all of us.

Well, we're just
about out of time.

So unless there's--

I-- I'd like to
say something if I--

I mean, if it's OK,
if it's all right.

Of course, Kim.

Go right ahead.

OK.

Well, when I first
joined this group,

I was concerned about
how much good it

was really going to do for me.

[sighs] Well, a lot of
time has passed now,

and I've learned a lot
about pain and suffering,

both yours and mine.

[weeping]

[sighs] You know,
post-traumatic stress disorder,

it's altered all of us.

I'll never be the same
person I was before.

Neither will any of you.

Nor will any of the thousands
of men and women just like us.

But we're doing it,
you know, like this.

By giving each other
pieces of ourselves,

maybe we can go out
and help someone else.

You know, for over
18 years, I have kept

my personal pains a secret.

I lost the man that I loved,
and I gave away the child

that he gave inside of me.

[sighs] And in these
past two weeks,

those two pains have
finally stopped hurting.

I know now that, um,
the man I loved is dead.

But my child is very much alive.

And, um, my old life
has finally ended.

And tomorrow my new life begins.

[applause]

[tranquil music]

Goodbye, Bill.
