Army Wives s02e07 Episode Script
Uncharted Territory
ROXY: Previously on Army Wives I'm going to rebuild the Hump Bar.
I've got the money.
Even if we memorize everything here, we could still turn out to be terrible parents.
Until you trust you can't move forward.
You're not the only one who's sad.
No, ma'am.
I don't think I'm a hero.
I just wish he were happier to be home.
You've been avoiding me all day.
People saw me on the back of your bike.
It's going to be in good hands.
I'm going to be one of those silent partners.
And I want to go back to my unit just as soon as they'll let me.
Thank you.
I am driving to California.
I'm not coming back, Rox.
I love you.
Yes, sir.
ROXY: (SIGHS) I don't have a week.
I open in two damn days.
TREVOR: Yes, sir.
They've already inspected the place 10 times.
And I fixed everything they asked me to.
Sir, that was never my intention.
I Fine.
I will pay the extra fee.
But it better be today.
- Yes, sir.
- God.
I'll be there.
(ROXY SIGHS) If I fail that inspection again, I don't get my certificate of occupancy and then I can't open.
And then what? TREVOR: Well, I don't know.
Postpone the opening.
The Hump's been closed this long, what's another couple of weeks? I already took out an ad in the local paper, Trevor.
And I've got a lot of people putting posters up all over the place.
I can't change the date now.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I was just trying to help.
Right.
I'm sorry.
You are a huge help.
I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here to help with the boys.
Except for I can't take them today.
That was my platoon sergeant on the phone.
General Holden wants to see me about walking out on that TV interview.
So I don't know.
You got to get Pamela to do it or something because I can't.
I can't call Pamela.
Chase just got in late last night.
I can't ask them to watch two more kids.
And I didn't reserve a spot in daycare.
Well, Rox, what do you want me to do? Stand up the General? Well, what do they want to ask you about anyway? I mean, the guy baited you.
You know, what are you supposed to do, let him kick you where it hurts and then smile back? According to the Army, yeah.
I was in uniform.
It was inappropriate behavior.
(GROANS) What am I going to do with the boys? We can help at the bar.
Mmm! - Right there.
Solution.
- Please.
Two boys loose in a bar? I've got a million things to do.
I can't watch them.
Well, I can't take them with me, Roxy.
I've got to get changed.
Are you and Daddy fighting? - Trevor.
- What? (ROXY SIGHS) - Does it look like we're fighting? - No.
Good.
Okay.
Run to the car.
They should have bulldozed that damn place.
It wouldn't make the memory go away.
It's just a building, Michael.
Walls, floors, tables and chairs.
Roxy's completely remodeled it.
- You're not really going, are you? - Yeah, I am.
I have to.
For Roxy.
Opening Betty's is everything to her.
We're all going to support her.
Uh Bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.
Hang on a second.
Back in here.
- What's up? I'm late.
- Aren't you forgetting something? Permission slip? You should eat something.
Bye.
(CHUCKLES) MICHAEL: You're welcome.
Has she said anything? - About the opening? - Yeah.
She wants to go.
Well, you can count me out.
- Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! - Daddy! Daddy! Whoa! Whoa! - Daddy! Daddy! - Hey! Daddy! You're home! Did you see the new picture I drew for you? No, no, no.
I have not.
You promised you'd teach me how to punt.
You got it, buddy.
Guys, let's give Daddy a minute to wake up, okay? - Go get yourselves some cereal.
- No! We want Daddy to make pancakes! Pancakes! See, this is what you get for showing off in the kitchen.
Okay.
Give me five minutes.
- Yay! Yes! - Okay, go get some plates.
(SIGHS) - LUCAS: Come on, Katie.
- They're always asking me when you're coming home, but I really think they like the surprise.
You're like this random Santa.
How about you? Well, I love surprises.
And right now, I'm really grateful to Delta because I don't have to lose you for these long stretches anymore.
By the way, one of the guys on the team is throwing a barbecue.
Kids and everything.
- Yeah? When? - This afternoon.
And you're just now telling me? Well, it wasn't exactly the first thing on my mind last night.
Come on.
It's not a big deal.
It's just a barbecue.
Yeah, but it's a Delta barbecue.
It's not like I actually hang out with these people.
You're not going to be all annoying and do these secret handshakes and this decoder conversation, are you? No.
They're like any other Army family, you know that.
Yeah, except they never talk about their work.
Which I like.
Well, I sort of promised you would make potato salad.
(LAUGHS) But what you really meant was, I'll buy potato salad.
Absolutely.
Do you think I want to wipe out my entire squadron? You.
EMMALIN: Jeremy? I'll catch up.
What are you doing here? My unit got stationed here for advanced training.
And you haven't called? Why? We just got in last night.
I haven't even seen my mom yet.
Okay.
That's cool.
(EXHALES) Wow.
I've got to go.
Um Do you want to hang out tonight? Tonight? I should see my mom tonight.
But I'll call you, okay? Yeah.
It's really great you're back.
Don't tell me you're selling your motorcycle.
- Good morning, Doctor.
- Good morning, Nurse.
A friend of mine is opening a new restaurant and bar this Saturday.
"The Hump Bar is back as Betty's.
" Catchy name.
Wait.
Isn't that the place that blew up? Yes, it is.
My friend rebuilt it.
It's important.
I'll stop by then.
But you don't want me to.
- No.
I didn't say that.
- Your face did.
No, no, no.
It would be good for you to come.
Roxy could use all the support she can get.
Actually, I hate big events, to be honest.
Parties drive me nuts.
What, you? Yeah.
I know I've been pretty loud and obnoxious around you, but I guess that's just because you make me nervous.
I'd rather just be alone.
Just do my work.
(PAGER BEEPS) See? Work.
But I'll come by if it means that much to you.
No, that's okay.
I'll be fine.
I mean, Roxy will be fine.
(SIGHS) These go in the cooler in the back.
Guys, please be careful.
- Can we play pool? - Yeah.
Just roll the balls around.
I don't want to know what happens with a cue stick in your hand.
FINN: Okay.
Did I pass? Please say I passed.
Everything looks good.
Except for the dishwasher.
No, no, no.
The dishwasher is brand new.
The water's not hot enough.
Sorry.
No C of O until it's right.
No Wait.
Wait.
Hey, Roxy, that keg they delivered? The CO2 is down and there's no extra tank.
- T.
J: (SCREAMS) Mom! - Oh, my God! - T.
J: You did it! - A stain? You guys, a stain? Can I get some seltzer and some salt, right now! Please? It's going to be okay, Mommy.
(ROXY CHUCKLES) (PHONE BEEPS) And I thought I got a lot of messages.
- Sorry.
Occupational hazard.
- Is it always like this? Let's just say we don't need an alarm clock.
Well, for 24 weeks, you and the baby are progressing just fine.
She's putting off wearing her maternity clothes as long as possible.
That's quite a challenge, given you're carrying extra water.
(PHONE BEEPS) Perfectly normal.
But I see a maternity uniform in your very near future.
- Would you like to know the sex? - We already know.
Yeah.
I know this might sound kind of strange coming from a doctor, but we did the completely reliable dangle the wedding ring from a string test.
Mother says it's proof positive.
Plus, I'm craving salty foods, so it's definitely a boy swimming around in there.
You might want to talk to your daughter about that.
At ease, soldier.
I understand you're not happy with your current assignment.
Sir, just Not comfortable talking to the press, sir.
Not about myself.
There are different ways to serve.
Right now you're helping morale, recruiting, bolstering public opinion.
Those are all valuable, too.
Yes, sir.
Whatever's asked of me, sir.
We're very proud of what you did in Iraq.
But that does not excuse your actions during that interview.
Part of what it means to wear that uniform is a commitment to discipline.
You can never lose control in a hostile environment, whether that's a television studio or a battlefield.
Understood? Yes, sir.
It won't happen again, sir.
No, it won't.
There won't be any more interviews.
If the doctor clears you to return to duty, you'll fly back with the 85th scheduled to deploy two weeks from Friday.
Yes, sir.
As for that reporter, if it had been me, I would've punched him.
Dismissed.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Thank For everything.
I can't wait to see this remodel.
The only flowers at the old Hump Bar were the weeds that pushed through the parking lot.
She's really excited you're coming.
I wish Michael would come, too.
I think it would be good for him.
This is nice.
We haven't had a chance to do this in a while.
I know.
God, the hospital's been keeping me pretty busy, but since Jeremy moved out I've needed that, you know? Mmm-hmm.
I do.
I know what it's like having a husband away.
Yeah.
It gets pretty lonely around here.
I'm doing a second shift.
I have to get back to the hospital.
- Go.
Go, go.
I'll take these to Roxy.
- Okay.
I'll see you at the opening.
Hey, wait a minute! Don't put that there.
Set that a little lower and this shelf more to the right.
- Mind if I join you? - Sure.
What are you reading? - Promise not to tell? - (CHUCKLES) I promise.
It's poetry.
James Dickey.
He was from around this area.
I figured I'd get a better feel for the place, seeing it through a poet's eyes.
I loved poetry in high school.
I haven't read much since.
- Take it.
- Seriously? Sure.
I've got plenty of others.
Tell you what, pick out your favorite poem and we'll talk about it like we're smart or something.
Jeremy! Honey! Oh, honey! (EXCLAIMING) Mom, come on.
Well, I thought you weren't coming until next month.
They stationed us early.
Thought I'd surprise you.
I've missed you! Hey.
What are you doing? I got to tell you, it's so great finally meeting the person behind the voice.
We love the show.
We never miss it.
Yeah, it's just me and my big mouth.
You are the closest thing to celebrity that we have got around here.
Okay, how sad is that? I love your house.
We could never afford a place like this.
- We rent.
We got a great deal.
- Yeah, I'll say.
And that ring has to be one of the prettiest rings I've ever seen.
- Yeah.
- It's emerald, right? - Yep.
Too bad it's not real.
- Really? - Well, you could have fooled me.
- Yeah, me too.
Actually, Steve gave it to me for our anniversary and I loved it, but I kept going on about how he shouldn't have spent so much, so he finally had to admit it was fake so I wouldn't make him return it.
Well, you ask me, he bought the real thing - from the dumbest jeweler in history.
- Yeah.
Don't I wish.
You can go there after what happened? The only way to cure the fear of flying is to fly.
You'll never catch me there.
Yeah, you're probably not the only one who feels that way.
I saw Emmalin today.
She was, like, almost happy.
It was It was weird.
You don't want her to be happy? Her sister is dead.
Is she supposed to be sad for the rest of her life? I mean, she has finally found a way through this.
Yeah, well, good for her, because I can't.
I loved Amanda, Mom.
And I'm still in love with her.
Seeing Emmalin like that, I don't know, it hurts.
She wants to get together.
But what do I do, Mom? I can't.
I don't want to hurt her feelings.
Well, if you avoid her it will hurt more.
So just talk to her.
And say what? What you feel.
- Dishwasher? - Nope.
Stove.
The stove? You didn't tell me the stove was broke! You had enough on your plate, sweetie.
- FINN: No! - Hey! Knock it off before I lock you in the walk-in - with the French fries.
- French fries? - Race you! - No! Do not go in there! No! Don't go.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! No! (SIGHS) How's it going? I feel like I'm pulling a doublewide with a scooter.
How about you? No more interviews.
- Are you in trouble? - No.
Not at all.
Listen, Rox (SIGHS) That is such a relief, because I don't think I could take any more bad news.
I mean, my beer's down, the pool table has a birthmark on it, and all that might not mean anything because I still haven't passed my inspection.
Hey.
Everything is going to be okay.
I promise.
- Mom! - I got it.
I got it.
Hey! Stop! Both of you! Stop.
All right.
Go.
What time are you coming home? - Soon as I can.
- Okay.
Hey, Joan.
I didn't expect to see you here.
I still have work to do.
(PHONE BEEPS) That's mine.
God, it never ends, does it? No, it doesn't.
You know, it's after 4:00.
- I know.
I've got two clocks here.
- But you came in at 8:00 this morning.
Yeah, I got a late start, I'm normally here by 6:00.
Yeah, well, never mind.
I just thought you may be unaware you were into your ninth hour.
Are you citing the pregnancy limits to me? The Army's pretty strict about it.
Well, that's ridiculous.
I'm not tired at all.
Not everybody has your stamina.
You know, a woman of your rank sets an example to every woman on this post.
You wouldn't want to send mixed signals.
(PHONE BEEPS) It's mine again.
In fact, I informed chain of command to stop all contact with you as of an hour ago.
To make sure that you had ample time to finish up before your day's over.
Yeah, I got to take this.
I'll see you.
These are really going to class up the place.
You and Denise did a fantastic job.
Thank you.
Hold on.
It's a mess.
No problem.
I know how busy you are right now, Roxy.
I wanted to deliver them for you.
- I couldn't.
- You did enough.
Besides, I needed to get out of that insane asylum for a little while.
(SIGHS) You don't understand, I I drove them to the Hump Bar, I just couldn't bring them in.
I couldn't get out of the car.
I'm so sorry.
You know, I I can't come to the opening, Roxy.
I kept telling myself that I could because I wanted to for you.
But I It's still too hard.
If I'd known it was going to hurt you so much, I never would have done it.
I know a lot of people probably think I shouldn't have anyway, but your friendship means so much more to me than any stupid bar ever will.
I'm upset, but not with you, sweetheart.
What happened, it's It's not your fault or Betty's or the Hump Bar's.
It should It should reopen.
I just can't be there.
Okay? I have never seen them this exhausted.
They had a ball.
How about you? I had fun.
- Everybody loved you.
- Yeah.
I liked them, too.
- And that house? - Yeah.
- It was beautiful.
- Yeah.
I'm hoping that I'll get a promotion soon and then we'll get a housing upgrade.
- Would you like that? - Yeah.
(GRUNTS) But I'm okay here.
I just can't figure out how they can afford a place like that.
Who knows? And I got this really weird vibe from Carla.
I mean, she was super nice, but she had an emerald ring that had to cost more than our car.
And yet she said it was a fake.
- Mystery solved.
It was a fake.
- No.
And that furniture? That is not the kind of furniture that you buy at a yard sale.
And I know for a fact that she was wearing $400 shoes.
- How do you know that? - (SCOFFS) I'm a woman.
I know.
So what? You think she's a drug dealer or something? - (CHUCKLES) I did not say that.
- Then what? - I don't know.
It's just weird, is all.
- Look, just forget about it, okay? These guys are a part of me.
They're like my brothers.
I'd die for any one of them.
And they'd do the same for me.
Okay.
Sorry.
Let it go.
Once a cop, always a cop.
- I'm not being a cop.
- You sure sound like a cop to me.
- I'm not being a cop.
- I'm going to bed.
Ta-da.
Is that adorable or what? I stopped by the baby store and I couldn't help myself.
You bought a dress? Honey, you bought a dress.
It's not like I bought it for me.
This I bought for me.
With you as her mother, I figure we'll have a very well-rounded young lady.
I like the idea of a boy.
I can deal with a boy.
The only doll I ever wanted to play with was G.
I.
Joe.
What if our daughter wants a Barbie? (CHUCKLES) How am I going to deal with that? You know, a girl who used to play with Barbies is probably CEO of the company that makes them.
Well, you know, my mom and I never had a great relationship.
So, that's what this is all about? It's going to be easy for you, all little girls love their daddies.
Joan.
You are not your mother.
Our daughter is going to be crazy about you.
It's nature and nurture, baby.
And look at all this beautiful nature.
And with our nurturing, we're going to be all over that.
Our daughter is going to be pure love.
Mmm.
- This is adorable.
- Yeah.
But This isn't.
You know why I've been avoiding wearing the maternity ACUs? Evan.
He's going to love knowing that I'm wearing one.
I don't know why I let this guy get to me.
I mean, he's so obvious.
I'm smarter than that.
He's just playing on your biggest fear, which is lack of control.
So what you have to do, is turn back on him what he's doing to you.
Then you'll be in control.
How? It's like Tai Chi.
When someone pushes, you take their weight and move with it to throw them off balance.
- I like it.
- Yeah.
You're pretty good at this nurture stuff.
These (SIGHS) Are going to look beautiful on you.
EMMALIN: Oh, hey.
You're where? What a nice surprise.
I was going to call you but I figured you're busy and everything.
So, what do you want to do? I know you don't like malls.
I can't hang out with you.
- But I thought - I wanted to tell you in person.
I'm sorry.
But why? I can't go to places that we went with Amanda.
It's too depressing, you know.
- Are you mad at me? - No.
You seem happy, that's all.
Just because I don't walk around in a cloud all the time doesn't mean that I didn't love my sister.
I just can't be sad anymore.
And I still am.
I thought we were friends, Jeremy.
Good friends.
And I'm still here.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
See you.
Don't go feeling all down about it.
Well, I already am.
And the whole reason I did this was so that people could get past what happened.
Move on.
Especially Claudia Joy.
Yeah, I know.
- You Roxy LeBlanc? - Yeah.
Any chance you're the dishwasher guy? Drink guy.
I got 2-liter cranberry and sour mix, five cases.
You sure you're not over-ordering maybe? Why? Too much? For the number of people who are going to show up? Yeah.
This bar's seen a lot of bad memories.
Hey, you know how you get rid of bad memories? You replace them with good ones.
And that's what we're going to do.
So why don't you just stick to delivering and keep your commentary to yourself? Sorry.
Ignore that guy.
A lot of people are going to show up.
What have I gotten myself into? (SIREN WAILS) - Hey.
- Hey, coffee? Yeah.
Did you get any reading done? I'm halfway through the book.
It's going to be tough to pick a favorite.
Don't worry.
There's always one that will speak to you.
Listen, I'm I shouldn't have just walked off the way I did.
No.
It's all right.
I finished your lunch for you, though.
You didn't miss much.
I should have introduced you to my son.
- It's no big deal.
- No, it was rude.
Denise.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I'm fine if you're fine.
(PAGER BEEPING) Better pick your favorite poem out by tomorrow, though.
There's going to be a quiz.
(CHUCKLES) Hey.
That was the FRG.
One of our locals lost his son in Iraq yesterday.
Private First Class Roger Michaels.
Roadside bomb.
He was 18.
The FRG sent people over but he refuses to talk to anyone.
- Well, maybe he's better off left alone.
- Maybe.
Hey, are you okay? I can't go to the opening.
I really wanted to but I can't.
You were right.
That place brings back the whole night.
It's okay, Claudia Joy.
There's no real need for either one of us to be there.
(SIGHS) ROXY: When? As soon as my shoulder checks out.
Probably in the next couple of weeks.
Come on, Rox.
You knew this day was going to come.
Do you want to go back? Well, my tour isn't over.
It's my duty to finish what I started, you know? I get duty just fine.
But it seems like the Army gets all your best effort.
I mean, what about me and the boys? You know, we need you, too.
With the restaurant just getting going.
Roxy, you have always been my priority when I'm here.
Now you're standing there acting like I'm choosing work over family and I am not.
And what about you? The Hump's been your priority lately.
What happens when I get transferred? What happens to us then? You know, it is bad enough that people think I'm crazy for opening it to begin with.
And I don't even have a dishwasher.
But I don't need you making me feel guilty on top of everything else.
Excuse me.
I'm not just doing this for me.
I'm doing it for Betty.
I'm doing it for us, for our future.
You know, you're not going to be in the Army forever.
Baby.
I'm going back because that's what I signed up to do.
To fight for my country.
Now, I was in the Army when you married me.
Do you remember that? Meaning what? Meaning nothing.
Good night.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Evan.
Hey, listen, I want to thank you for reminding me about the pregnancy limits yesterday.
Glad I could help.
Yeah, I had a discussion with General Holden and we agreed that I need to restrict myself to eight hours a day until my maternity leave.
Well, every regulation has its purpose.
Yeah.
Hey, Evan.
Check it out.
Nice.
It feels good to be loose.
Is there anything else I can help you with? I just wanted you to know that I told the General that I'm happy that you're here.
And there's no one more competent to pick up the slack.
- You said that to him? - I did.
And while I'm home resting, I'm going to feel a lot more at ease knowing that you're here filling in for me.
Corporal.
Just put them on the Lieutenant Colonel's desk.
- What's this? - It's the bids for all outside vendors who supply goods to the post.
They need to be checked for any irregularities, and then altered if noted.
Oh! And, General Holden wants them on his desk at 0800 tomorrow.
- But this could take all night.
- Yeah, I wish I could help.
Later, Evan.
Mr.
Michaels.
Hi, I'm Claudia Joy Holden.
I'm from the FRG.
Look, I told you people I want to be left alone.
I respect that, I do.
But people mean well, don't they? They tell you they're sorry for your loss and they understand your pain.
But they can't.
Not really.
Not unless they've been through it.
You're General Holden's wife, right? That's right.
I saw on the news, a little while ago Amanda.
She was only 18 too.
GETTI: Heart, perfect.
Head, empty.
Stomach, noisy.
Feet, smelly.
And ticklish? What are you doing here kid? You're perfect.
Get out of here.
LISA: Place the patient in Bed 5.
- Monitor for 15 minutes.
- He's all yours.
- I need to do an ultrasound on her.
- All right, Doctor.
- Good.
Good.
- Hey.
- About 1:30.
- Okay.
Hi.
I hate to break the news to you and I know you hate parties, - but tonight - That Betty's Hump place, right? Yeah.
Roxy needs the place jam-packed.
So you're so desperate you're coming to me? - What if I bring some patients? - Yeah.
Great.
The psych ward really knows how to party.
His mom died when he was 2 years old.
Car crash.
From then on it was just me and Roger.
You must have been very close.
Yes, ma'am.
(CLEARS THROAT) He was my boy.
When my wife died, he saved my life.
He was what I lived for.
I didn't let him know that, though.
I didn't want to put that kind of weight on him.
I feel like I just want to wrap myself up in a blanket and just hide under it.
- You know? - I do.
If for one moment I don't feel bad, I feel like I didn't love him enough.
It's like pain is the only way to express our love.
Pain isn't love, is it? It's (SIGHS) It's just pain.
Baghdad.
I just wish I could go there.
See where it happened.
Why? It was the last place that Roger was Roger.
- Hurry up! Hurry up! - Kids.
- Hey.
Oh, hey! - Slow down! I'm glad the kids have hit it off.
Gives us an excuse to have our own little play date.
This is beautiful.
Now, where was this? We rented a house in Cape Cod for a month last summer.
And we had Steve's sister's family up as well.
It was really nice.
Okay, if Chase and I ever take a vacation, it's usually at the Motel 6 in Myrtle Beach.
I know.
Same here.
And Brian and I both have incomes.
Yeah, you got an oil well in your bedroom or what? Hey! Take it easy.
If you break something in this house, I'll die.
No, no.
No worries.
They're just things.
Yeah.
They're really, really nice things, though.
I already told you almost everything is fake.
Yeah, they're just the most amazing fakes I've ever seen.
Do you think I'm lying? No.
I just thought you were being modest.
Look, a woman does not say things are fake unless they are.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just being nosey.
I apologize.
(CLEARS THROAT) Wow.
Look at the time.
I'm going to have to call it a day.
ROXY: Thank you so much for helping, Roland.
Of all the days for my bartender to get sick.
Anything I can do to help, Rox.
I put myself through college doing this.
Actually, it's kind of fun being behind the bar again.
Well, I hope you have somebody to serve.
I still don't have my C of O.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, this guy here is from our motor pool.
He can fix anything.
Right, Charlie? - Haven't been licked yet.
- Thank you.
It's right through those doors.
Yeah.
I'm here to make sure he works on it until it passes.
Got your C of O right here.
How did you do that? It's the Army, babe.
We take care of our own.
Yeah, but the inspector? Former paratrooper.
(EXHALES) Thank you, Army.
I will never doubt you again.
I'm sorry about the other night.
- I'm sorry, too.
I was way worse.
- I know.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
You've got to get ready.
Is the babysitter here yet? What did you do at Steve and Carla's? Nothing, really.
It was all about the kids.
Well, I just saw Steve and he doesn't want you to be around Carla anymore.
- He said that? - Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah, he wasn't happy.
Well (EXHALES) I might have asked one too many questions.
I told you to let it go, didn't I? Yeah.
You did.
And you're right.
It's just that I couldn't get my mind away from Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
When I go on a mission with these guys, I need them to have my back.
- Do you understand that? - Yeah.
I can't afford to have somebody on my team pissed off at me because my wife can't keep her nose out of other people's business.
Okay.
You're to stay away from her.
Okay.
What? Okay.
All right.
I'm going to send the sitter home.
I don't feel much like going out anymore.
That's all right.
I'll just go by myself.
You look nice.
- For Roxy's opening.
- Hmm.
- I've been waiting for you.
- Honey, I told you I can't.
I know, but I can't go alone.
I need you to come with me.
Honey, I just came from talking with a man who lost his son in Iraq.
He told me he wished he could go there.
Stand where his son last stood.
And when I see myself standing in the Hump Bar But I want to go.
I want to be happy and Jeremy doesn't understand that.
- Is there something wrong with me? - Of course not, honey.
No.
Mom, I miss her so much.
But I have a good life, you know, and I don't want to miss that.
- What is so wrong with that? - Nothing.
Nothing.
You have a good life, too.
Don't you, Mom? Sweetheart.
I lost Amanda.
Now, I'm even more scared.
You're the only child I have left.
Not wanting to go to the Hump Bar isn't only about Amanda.
I I'm afraid.
I'm I'm just afraid of losing you.
But how can we live like that? ROXY: Can you all come to the other room for a second? ROLAND: Real quick.
PAMELA: Gather around.
- Can you all come forward? - Come on.
It's been a long road getting here.
And a mighty bumpy one for sure.
But, we did it, I think.
(WHOOPS) - Yes! - MAN: Yes! I wasn't sure I should've done it because I was afraid of opening old wounds.
But you all helped me through that.
And I was a little crazy there for a little bit, so thank you.
- You're welcome.
- CROWD: Yeah.
I was hoping that this place could be used to remember the ones we've loved and lost here.
- Betty felt very strongly about that.
- I'm sorry, baby.
She wanted the Hump Bar I'm sorry, too.
to be remembered for not just what happened that night, but she wanted it to also be a place where people could come and enjoy life.
So, no matter how far she travels, Betty will never ever leave.
(CROWD EXCLAIMING) So eat, drink, and be completely inappropriate! I brought reinforcements.
Well, it's about time.
I'm glad you came.
It's good to see you.
- You too.
- Thanks.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Betty's Bar and Grill.
What the hell kind of name is that for a classy establishment? It's Betty.
- Betty! - Hey.
I made it.
I'm here in California.
How are you feeling? Not bad, you know, considering.
Okay.
Well, wait.
Listen to this.
Hey, you guys? Say hi to Betty.
- Hi, Betty! - Hey, Betty! MAN: Hi, Betty! ROXY: I don't know if you can hear that, but we are a hit! Yeah, I heard it.
BETTY: Well, I knew you could do it, girl.
I just can't believe I was smart enough to put you in charge.
So go.
Enjoy it with your friends while you can.
Because you know what? Tomorrow you got to get up and do it all over again.
And I still think it's a stupid name for a bar.
(ROXY SIGHS) Hey, babe.
- I am so proud of you.
- Thank you.
I have never been so tired in my whole entire life.
(ALL LAUGHING) Thank you guys so much for coming.
- It was a blast, Rox.
- Can't wait to do it again.
Well, I know it wasn't easy for you guys to be here.
But you were.
And it means a lot to me.
Well, it was a great night.
Almost perfect.
(SIGHS) This is it? Hi.
The last place Amanda was Amanda.
(EXHALES) Emmalin.
Baby.
I think maybe she's here, too.
Maybe she is.
I've got the money.
Even if we memorize everything here, we could still turn out to be terrible parents.
Until you trust you can't move forward.
You're not the only one who's sad.
No, ma'am.
I don't think I'm a hero.
I just wish he were happier to be home.
You've been avoiding me all day.
People saw me on the back of your bike.
It's going to be in good hands.
I'm going to be one of those silent partners.
And I want to go back to my unit just as soon as they'll let me.
Thank you.
I am driving to California.
I'm not coming back, Rox.
I love you.
Yes, sir.
ROXY: (SIGHS) I don't have a week.
I open in two damn days.
TREVOR: Yes, sir.
They've already inspected the place 10 times.
And I fixed everything they asked me to.
Sir, that was never my intention.
I Fine.
I will pay the extra fee.
But it better be today.
- Yes, sir.
- God.
I'll be there.
(ROXY SIGHS) If I fail that inspection again, I don't get my certificate of occupancy and then I can't open.
And then what? TREVOR: Well, I don't know.
Postpone the opening.
The Hump's been closed this long, what's another couple of weeks? I already took out an ad in the local paper, Trevor.
And I've got a lot of people putting posters up all over the place.
I can't change the date now.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I was just trying to help.
Right.
I'm sorry.
You are a huge help.
I don't know what I'd do if you weren't here to help with the boys.
Except for I can't take them today.
That was my platoon sergeant on the phone.
General Holden wants to see me about walking out on that TV interview.
So I don't know.
You got to get Pamela to do it or something because I can't.
I can't call Pamela.
Chase just got in late last night.
I can't ask them to watch two more kids.
And I didn't reserve a spot in daycare.
Well, Rox, what do you want me to do? Stand up the General? Well, what do they want to ask you about anyway? I mean, the guy baited you.
You know, what are you supposed to do, let him kick you where it hurts and then smile back? According to the Army, yeah.
I was in uniform.
It was inappropriate behavior.
(GROANS) What am I going to do with the boys? We can help at the bar.
Mmm! - Right there.
Solution.
- Please.
Two boys loose in a bar? I've got a million things to do.
I can't watch them.
Well, I can't take them with me, Roxy.
I've got to get changed.
Are you and Daddy fighting? - Trevor.
- What? (ROXY SIGHS) - Does it look like we're fighting? - No.
Good.
Okay.
Run to the car.
They should have bulldozed that damn place.
It wouldn't make the memory go away.
It's just a building, Michael.
Walls, floors, tables and chairs.
Roxy's completely remodeled it.
- You're not really going, are you? - Yeah, I am.
I have to.
For Roxy.
Opening Betty's is everything to her.
We're all going to support her.
Uh Bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.
Hang on a second.
Back in here.
- What's up? I'm late.
- Aren't you forgetting something? Permission slip? You should eat something.
Bye.
(CHUCKLES) MICHAEL: You're welcome.
Has she said anything? - About the opening? - Yeah.
She wants to go.
Well, you can count me out.
- Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! - Daddy! Daddy! Whoa! Whoa! - Daddy! Daddy! - Hey! Daddy! You're home! Did you see the new picture I drew for you? No, no, no.
I have not.
You promised you'd teach me how to punt.
You got it, buddy.
Guys, let's give Daddy a minute to wake up, okay? - Go get yourselves some cereal.
- No! We want Daddy to make pancakes! Pancakes! See, this is what you get for showing off in the kitchen.
Okay.
Give me five minutes.
- Yay! Yes! - Okay, go get some plates.
(SIGHS) - LUCAS: Come on, Katie.
- They're always asking me when you're coming home, but I really think they like the surprise.
You're like this random Santa.
How about you? Well, I love surprises.
And right now, I'm really grateful to Delta because I don't have to lose you for these long stretches anymore.
By the way, one of the guys on the team is throwing a barbecue.
Kids and everything.
- Yeah? When? - This afternoon.
And you're just now telling me? Well, it wasn't exactly the first thing on my mind last night.
Come on.
It's not a big deal.
It's just a barbecue.
Yeah, but it's a Delta barbecue.
It's not like I actually hang out with these people.
You're not going to be all annoying and do these secret handshakes and this decoder conversation, are you? No.
They're like any other Army family, you know that.
Yeah, except they never talk about their work.
Which I like.
Well, I sort of promised you would make potato salad.
(LAUGHS) But what you really meant was, I'll buy potato salad.
Absolutely.
Do you think I want to wipe out my entire squadron? You.
EMMALIN: Jeremy? I'll catch up.
What are you doing here? My unit got stationed here for advanced training.
And you haven't called? Why? We just got in last night.
I haven't even seen my mom yet.
Okay.
That's cool.
(EXHALES) Wow.
I've got to go.
Um Do you want to hang out tonight? Tonight? I should see my mom tonight.
But I'll call you, okay? Yeah.
It's really great you're back.
Don't tell me you're selling your motorcycle.
- Good morning, Doctor.
- Good morning, Nurse.
A friend of mine is opening a new restaurant and bar this Saturday.
"The Hump Bar is back as Betty's.
" Catchy name.
Wait.
Isn't that the place that blew up? Yes, it is.
My friend rebuilt it.
It's important.
I'll stop by then.
But you don't want me to.
- No.
I didn't say that.
- Your face did.
No, no, no.
It would be good for you to come.
Roxy could use all the support she can get.
Actually, I hate big events, to be honest.
Parties drive me nuts.
What, you? Yeah.
I know I've been pretty loud and obnoxious around you, but I guess that's just because you make me nervous.
I'd rather just be alone.
Just do my work.
(PAGER BEEPS) See? Work.
But I'll come by if it means that much to you.
No, that's okay.
I'll be fine.
I mean, Roxy will be fine.
(SIGHS) These go in the cooler in the back.
Guys, please be careful.
- Can we play pool? - Yeah.
Just roll the balls around.
I don't want to know what happens with a cue stick in your hand.
FINN: Okay.
Did I pass? Please say I passed.
Everything looks good.
Except for the dishwasher.
No, no, no.
The dishwasher is brand new.
The water's not hot enough.
Sorry.
No C of O until it's right.
No Wait.
Wait.
Hey, Roxy, that keg they delivered? The CO2 is down and there's no extra tank.
- T.
J: (SCREAMS) Mom! - Oh, my God! - T.
J: You did it! - A stain? You guys, a stain? Can I get some seltzer and some salt, right now! Please? It's going to be okay, Mommy.
(ROXY CHUCKLES) (PHONE BEEPS) And I thought I got a lot of messages.
- Sorry.
Occupational hazard.
- Is it always like this? Let's just say we don't need an alarm clock.
Well, for 24 weeks, you and the baby are progressing just fine.
She's putting off wearing her maternity clothes as long as possible.
That's quite a challenge, given you're carrying extra water.
(PHONE BEEPS) Perfectly normal.
But I see a maternity uniform in your very near future.
- Would you like to know the sex? - We already know.
Yeah.
I know this might sound kind of strange coming from a doctor, but we did the completely reliable dangle the wedding ring from a string test.
Mother says it's proof positive.
Plus, I'm craving salty foods, so it's definitely a boy swimming around in there.
You might want to talk to your daughter about that.
At ease, soldier.
I understand you're not happy with your current assignment.
Sir, just Not comfortable talking to the press, sir.
Not about myself.
There are different ways to serve.
Right now you're helping morale, recruiting, bolstering public opinion.
Those are all valuable, too.
Yes, sir.
Whatever's asked of me, sir.
We're very proud of what you did in Iraq.
But that does not excuse your actions during that interview.
Part of what it means to wear that uniform is a commitment to discipline.
You can never lose control in a hostile environment, whether that's a television studio or a battlefield.
Understood? Yes, sir.
It won't happen again, sir.
No, it won't.
There won't be any more interviews.
If the doctor clears you to return to duty, you'll fly back with the 85th scheduled to deploy two weeks from Friday.
Yes, sir.
As for that reporter, if it had been me, I would've punched him.
Dismissed.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir.
Thank For everything.
I can't wait to see this remodel.
The only flowers at the old Hump Bar were the weeds that pushed through the parking lot.
She's really excited you're coming.
I wish Michael would come, too.
I think it would be good for him.
This is nice.
We haven't had a chance to do this in a while.
I know.
God, the hospital's been keeping me pretty busy, but since Jeremy moved out I've needed that, you know? Mmm-hmm.
I do.
I know what it's like having a husband away.
Yeah.
It gets pretty lonely around here.
I'm doing a second shift.
I have to get back to the hospital.
- Go.
Go, go.
I'll take these to Roxy.
- Okay.
I'll see you at the opening.
Hey, wait a minute! Don't put that there.
Set that a little lower and this shelf more to the right.
- Mind if I join you? - Sure.
What are you reading? - Promise not to tell? - (CHUCKLES) I promise.
It's poetry.
James Dickey.
He was from around this area.
I figured I'd get a better feel for the place, seeing it through a poet's eyes.
I loved poetry in high school.
I haven't read much since.
- Take it.
- Seriously? Sure.
I've got plenty of others.
Tell you what, pick out your favorite poem and we'll talk about it like we're smart or something.
Jeremy! Honey! Oh, honey! (EXCLAIMING) Mom, come on.
Well, I thought you weren't coming until next month.
They stationed us early.
Thought I'd surprise you.
I've missed you! Hey.
What are you doing? I got to tell you, it's so great finally meeting the person behind the voice.
We love the show.
We never miss it.
Yeah, it's just me and my big mouth.
You are the closest thing to celebrity that we have got around here.
Okay, how sad is that? I love your house.
We could never afford a place like this.
- We rent.
We got a great deal.
- Yeah, I'll say.
And that ring has to be one of the prettiest rings I've ever seen.
- Yeah.
- It's emerald, right? - Yep.
Too bad it's not real.
- Really? - Well, you could have fooled me.
- Yeah, me too.
Actually, Steve gave it to me for our anniversary and I loved it, but I kept going on about how he shouldn't have spent so much, so he finally had to admit it was fake so I wouldn't make him return it.
Well, you ask me, he bought the real thing - from the dumbest jeweler in history.
- Yeah.
Don't I wish.
You can go there after what happened? The only way to cure the fear of flying is to fly.
You'll never catch me there.
Yeah, you're probably not the only one who feels that way.
I saw Emmalin today.
She was, like, almost happy.
It was It was weird.
You don't want her to be happy? Her sister is dead.
Is she supposed to be sad for the rest of her life? I mean, she has finally found a way through this.
Yeah, well, good for her, because I can't.
I loved Amanda, Mom.
And I'm still in love with her.
Seeing Emmalin like that, I don't know, it hurts.
She wants to get together.
But what do I do, Mom? I can't.
I don't want to hurt her feelings.
Well, if you avoid her it will hurt more.
So just talk to her.
And say what? What you feel.
- Dishwasher? - Nope.
Stove.
The stove? You didn't tell me the stove was broke! You had enough on your plate, sweetie.
- FINN: No! - Hey! Knock it off before I lock you in the walk-in - with the French fries.
- French fries? - Race you! - No! Do not go in there! No! Don't go.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! No! (SIGHS) How's it going? I feel like I'm pulling a doublewide with a scooter.
How about you? No more interviews.
- Are you in trouble? - No.
Not at all.
Listen, Rox (SIGHS) That is such a relief, because I don't think I could take any more bad news.
I mean, my beer's down, the pool table has a birthmark on it, and all that might not mean anything because I still haven't passed my inspection.
Hey.
Everything is going to be okay.
I promise.
- Mom! - I got it.
I got it.
Hey! Stop! Both of you! Stop.
All right.
Go.
What time are you coming home? - Soon as I can.
- Okay.
Hey, Joan.
I didn't expect to see you here.
I still have work to do.
(PHONE BEEPS) That's mine.
God, it never ends, does it? No, it doesn't.
You know, it's after 4:00.
- I know.
I've got two clocks here.
- But you came in at 8:00 this morning.
Yeah, I got a late start, I'm normally here by 6:00.
Yeah, well, never mind.
I just thought you may be unaware you were into your ninth hour.
Are you citing the pregnancy limits to me? The Army's pretty strict about it.
Well, that's ridiculous.
I'm not tired at all.
Not everybody has your stamina.
You know, a woman of your rank sets an example to every woman on this post.
You wouldn't want to send mixed signals.
(PHONE BEEPS) It's mine again.
In fact, I informed chain of command to stop all contact with you as of an hour ago.
To make sure that you had ample time to finish up before your day's over.
Yeah, I got to take this.
I'll see you.
These are really going to class up the place.
You and Denise did a fantastic job.
Thank you.
Hold on.
It's a mess.
No problem.
I know how busy you are right now, Roxy.
I wanted to deliver them for you.
- I couldn't.
- You did enough.
Besides, I needed to get out of that insane asylum for a little while.
(SIGHS) You don't understand, I I drove them to the Hump Bar, I just couldn't bring them in.
I couldn't get out of the car.
I'm so sorry.
You know, I I can't come to the opening, Roxy.
I kept telling myself that I could because I wanted to for you.
But I It's still too hard.
If I'd known it was going to hurt you so much, I never would have done it.
I know a lot of people probably think I shouldn't have anyway, but your friendship means so much more to me than any stupid bar ever will.
I'm upset, but not with you, sweetheart.
What happened, it's It's not your fault or Betty's or the Hump Bar's.
It should It should reopen.
I just can't be there.
Okay? I have never seen them this exhausted.
They had a ball.
How about you? I had fun.
- Everybody loved you.
- Yeah.
I liked them, too.
- And that house? - Yeah.
- It was beautiful.
- Yeah.
I'm hoping that I'll get a promotion soon and then we'll get a housing upgrade.
- Would you like that? - Yeah.
(GRUNTS) But I'm okay here.
I just can't figure out how they can afford a place like that.
Who knows? And I got this really weird vibe from Carla.
I mean, she was super nice, but she had an emerald ring that had to cost more than our car.
And yet she said it was a fake.
- Mystery solved.
It was a fake.
- No.
And that furniture? That is not the kind of furniture that you buy at a yard sale.
And I know for a fact that she was wearing $400 shoes.
- How do you know that? - (SCOFFS) I'm a woman.
I know.
So what? You think she's a drug dealer or something? - (CHUCKLES) I did not say that.
- Then what? - I don't know.
It's just weird, is all.
- Look, just forget about it, okay? These guys are a part of me.
They're like my brothers.
I'd die for any one of them.
And they'd do the same for me.
Okay.
Sorry.
Let it go.
Once a cop, always a cop.
- I'm not being a cop.
- You sure sound like a cop to me.
- I'm not being a cop.
- I'm going to bed.
Ta-da.
Is that adorable or what? I stopped by the baby store and I couldn't help myself.
You bought a dress? Honey, you bought a dress.
It's not like I bought it for me.
This I bought for me.
With you as her mother, I figure we'll have a very well-rounded young lady.
I like the idea of a boy.
I can deal with a boy.
The only doll I ever wanted to play with was G.
I.
Joe.
What if our daughter wants a Barbie? (CHUCKLES) How am I going to deal with that? You know, a girl who used to play with Barbies is probably CEO of the company that makes them.
Well, you know, my mom and I never had a great relationship.
So, that's what this is all about? It's going to be easy for you, all little girls love their daddies.
Joan.
You are not your mother.
Our daughter is going to be crazy about you.
It's nature and nurture, baby.
And look at all this beautiful nature.
And with our nurturing, we're going to be all over that.
Our daughter is going to be pure love.
Mmm.
- This is adorable.
- Yeah.
But This isn't.
You know why I've been avoiding wearing the maternity ACUs? Evan.
He's going to love knowing that I'm wearing one.
I don't know why I let this guy get to me.
I mean, he's so obvious.
I'm smarter than that.
He's just playing on your biggest fear, which is lack of control.
So what you have to do, is turn back on him what he's doing to you.
Then you'll be in control.
How? It's like Tai Chi.
When someone pushes, you take their weight and move with it to throw them off balance.
- I like it.
- Yeah.
You're pretty good at this nurture stuff.
These (SIGHS) Are going to look beautiful on you.
EMMALIN: Oh, hey.
You're where? What a nice surprise.
I was going to call you but I figured you're busy and everything.
So, what do you want to do? I know you don't like malls.
I can't hang out with you.
- But I thought - I wanted to tell you in person.
I'm sorry.
But why? I can't go to places that we went with Amanda.
It's too depressing, you know.
- Are you mad at me? - No.
You seem happy, that's all.
Just because I don't walk around in a cloud all the time doesn't mean that I didn't love my sister.
I just can't be sad anymore.
And I still am.
I thought we were friends, Jeremy.
Good friends.
And I'm still here.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
See you.
Don't go feeling all down about it.
Well, I already am.
And the whole reason I did this was so that people could get past what happened.
Move on.
Especially Claudia Joy.
Yeah, I know.
- You Roxy LeBlanc? - Yeah.
Any chance you're the dishwasher guy? Drink guy.
I got 2-liter cranberry and sour mix, five cases.
You sure you're not over-ordering maybe? Why? Too much? For the number of people who are going to show up? Yeah.
This bar's seen a lot of bad memories.
Hey, you know how you get rid of bad memories? You replace them with good ones.
And that's what we're going to do.
So why don't you just stick to delivering and keep your commentary to yourself? Sorry.
Ignore that guy.
A lot of people are going to show up.
What have I gotten myself into? (SIREN WAILS) - Hey.
- Hey, coffee? Yeah.
Did you get any reading done? I'm halfway through the book.
It's going to be tough to pick a favorite.
Don't worry.
There's always one that will speak to you.
Listen, I'm I shouldn't have just walked off the way I did.
No.
It's all right.
I finished your lunch for you, though.
You didn't miss much.
I should have introduced you to my son.
- It's no big deal.
- No, it was rude.
Denise.
It's okay.
Don't worry about it.
I'm fine if you're fine.
(PAGER BEEPING) Better pick your favorite poem out by tomorrow, though.
There's going to be a quiz.
(CHUCKLES) Hey.
That was the FRG.
One of our locals lost his son in Iraq yesterday.
Private First Class Roger Michaels.
Roadside bomb.
He was 18.
The FRG sent people over but he refuses to talk to anyone.
- Well, maybe he's better off left alone.
- Maybe.
Hey, are you okay? I can't go to the opening.
I really wanted to but I can't.
You were right.
That place brings back the whole night.
It's okay, Claudia Joy.
There's no real need for either one of us to be there.
(SIGHS) ROXY: When? As soon as my shoulder checks out.
Probably in the next couple of weeks.
Come on, Rox.
You knew this day was going to come.
Do you want to go back? Well, my tour isn't over.
It's my duty to finish what I started, you know? I get duty just fine.
But it seems like the Army gets all your best effort.
I mean, what about me and the boys? You know, we need you, too.
With the restaurant just getting going.
Roxy, you have always been my priority when I'm here.
Now you're standing there acting like I'm choosing work over family and I am not.
And what about you? The Hump's been your priority lately.
What happens when I get transferred? What happens to us then? You know, it is bad enough that people think I'm crazy for opening it to begin with.
And I don't even have a dishwasher.
But I don't need you making me feel guilty on top of everything else.
Excuse me.
I'm not just doing this for me.
I'm doing it for Betty.
I'm doing it for us, for our future.
You know, you're not going to be in the Army forever.
Baby.
I'm going back because that's what I signed up to do.
To fight for my country.
Now, I was in the Army when you married me.
Do you remember that? Meaning what? Meaning nothing.
Good night.
(KNOCK ON DOOR) Evan.
Hey, listen, I want to thank you for reminding me about the pregnancy limits yesterday.
Glad I could help.
Yeah, I had a discussion with General Holden and we agreed that I need to restrict myself to eight hours a day until my maternity leave.
Well, every regulation has its purpose.
Yeah.
Hey, Evan.
Check it out.
Nice.
It feels good to be loose.
Is there anything else I can help you with? I just wanted you to know that I told the General that I'm happy that you're here.
And there's no one more competent to pick up the slack.
- You said that to him? - I did.
And while I'm home resting, I'm going to feel a lot more at ease knowing that you're here filling in for me.
Corporal.
Just put them on the Lieutenant Colonel's desk.
- What's this? - It's the bids for all outside vendors who supply goods to the post.
They need to be checked for any irregularities, and then altered if noted.
Oh! And, General Holden wants them on his desk at 0800 tomorrow.
- But this could take all night.
- Yeah, I wish I could help.
Later, Evan.
Mr.
Michaels.
Hi, I'm Claudia Joy Holden.
I'm from the FRG.
Look, I told you people I want to be left alone.
I respect that, I do.
But people mean well, don't they? They tell you they're sorry for your loss and they understand your pain.
But they can't.
Not really.
Not unless they've been through it.
You're General Holden's wife, right? That's right.
I saw on the news, a little while ago Amanda.
She was only 18 too.
GETTI: Heart, perfect.
Head, empty.
Stomach, noisy.
Feet, smelly.
And ticklish? What are you doing here kid? You're perfect.
Get out of here.
LISA: Place the patient in Bed 5.
- Monitor for 15 minutes.
- He's all yours.
- I need to do an ultrasound on her.
- All right, Doctor.
- Good.
Good.
- Hey.
- About 1:30.
- Okay.
Hi.
I hate to break the news to you and I know you hate parties, - but tonight - That Betty's Hump place, right? Yeah.
Roxy needs the place jam-packed.
So you're so desperate you're coming to me? - What if I bring some patients? - Yeah.
Great.
The psych ward really knows how to party.
His mom died when he was 2 years old.
Car crash.
From then on it was just me and Roger.
You must have been very close.
Yes, ma'am.
(CLEARS THROAT) He was my boy.
When my wife died, he saved my life.
He was what I lived for.
I didn't let him know that, though.
I didn't want to put that kind of weight on him.
I feel like I just want to wrap myself up in a blanket and just hide under it.
- You know? - I do.
If for one moment I don't feel bad, I feel like I didn't love him enough.
It's like pain is the only way to express our love.
Pain isn't love, is it? It's (SIGHS) It's just pain.
Baghdad.
I just wish I could go there.
See where it happened.
Why? It was the last place that Roger was Roger.
- Hurry up! Hurry up! - Kids.
- Hey.
Oh, hey! - Slow down! I'm glad the kids have hit it off.
Gives us an excuse to have our own little play date.
This is beautiful.
Now, where was this? We rented a house in Cape Cod for a month last summer.
And we had Steve's sister's family up as well.
It was really nice.
Okay, if Chase and I ever take a vacation, it's usually at the Motel 6 in Myrtle Beach.
I know.
Same here.
And Brian and I both have incomes.
Yeah, you got an oil well in your bedroom or what? Hey! Take it easy.
If you break something in this house, I'll die.
No, no.
No worries.
They're just things.
Yeah.
They're really, really nice things, though.
I already told you almost everything is fake.
Yeah, they're just the most amazing fakes I've ever seen.
Do you think I'm lying? No.
I just thought you were being modest.
Look, a woman does not say things are fake unless they are.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just being nosey.
I apologize.
(CLEARS THROAT) Wow.
Look at the time.
I'm going to have to call it a day.
ROXY: Thank you so much for helping, Roland.
Of all the days for my bartender to get sick.
Anything I can do to help, Rox.
I put myself through college doing this.
Actually, it's kind of fun being behind the bar again.
Well, I hope you have somebody to serve.
I still don't have my C of O.
- Hey.
- Hey.
So, this guy here is from our motor pool.
He can fix anything.
Right, Charlie? - Haven't been licked yet.
- Thank you.
It's right through those doors.
Yeah.
I'm here to make sure he works on it until it passes.
Got your C of O right here.
How did you do that? It's the Army, babe.
We take care of our own.
Yeah, but the inspector? Former paratrooper.
(EXHALES) Thank you, Army.
I will never doubt you again.
I'm sorry about the other night.
- I'm sorry, too.
I was way worse.
- I know.
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
You've got to get ready.
Is the babysitter here yet? What did you do at Steve and Carla's? Nothing, really.
It was all about the kids.
Well, I just saw Steve and he doesn't want you to be around Carla anymore.
- He said that? - Yeah.
- Really? - Yeah, he wasn't happy.
Well (EXHALES) I might have asked one too many questions.
I told you to let it go, didn't I? Yeah.
You did.
And you're right.
It's just that I couldn't get my mind away from Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
When I go on a mission with these guys, I need them to have my back.
- Do you understand that? - Yeah.
I can't afford to have somebody on my team pissed off at me because my wife can't keep her nose out of other people's business.
Okay.
You're to stay away from her.
Okay.
What? Okay.
All right.
I'm going to send the sitter home.
I don't feel much like going out anymore.
That's all right.
I'll just go by myself.
You look nice.
- For Roxy's opening.
- Hmm.
- I've been waiting for you.
- Honey, I told you I can't.
I know, but I can't go alone.
I need you to come with me.
Honey, I just came from talking with a man who lost his son in Iraq.
He told me he wished he could go there.
Stand where his son last stood.
And when I see myself standing in the Hump Bar But I want to go.
I want to be happy and Jeremy doesn't understand that.
- Is there something wrong with me? - Of course not, honey.
No.
Mom, I miss her so much.
But I have a good life, you know, and I don't want to miss that.
- What is so wrong with that? - Nothing.
Nothing.
You have a good life, too.
Don't you, Mom? Sweetheart.
I lost Amanda.
Now, I'm even more scared.
You're the only child I have left.
Not wanting to go to the Hump Bar isn't only about Amanda.
I I'm afraid.
I'm I'm just afraid of losing you.
But how can we live like that? ROXY: Can you all come to the other room for a second? ROLAND: Real quick.
PAMELA: Gather around.
- Can you all come forward? - Come on.
It's been a long road getting here.
And a mighty bumpy one for sure.
But, we did it, I think.
(WHOOPS) - Yes! - MAN: Yes! I wasn't sure I should've done it because I was afraid of opening old wounds.
But you all helped me through that.
And I was a little crazy there for a little bit, so thank you.
- You're welcome.
- CROWD: Yeah.
I was hoping that this place could be used to remember the ones we've loved and lost here.
- Betty felt very strongly about that.
- I'm sorry, baby.
She wanted the Hump Bar I'm sorry, too.
to be remembered for not just what happened that night, but she wanted it to also be a place where people could come and enjoy life.
So, no matter how far she travels, Betty will never ever leave.
(CROWD EXCLAIMING) So eat, drink, and be completely inappropriate! I brought reinforcements.
Well, it's about time.
I'm glad you came.
It's good to see you.
- You too.
- Thanks.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Betty's Bar and Grill.
What the hell kind of name is that for a classy establishment? It's Betty.
- Betty! - Hey.
I made it.
I'm here in California.
How are you feeling? Not bad, you know, considering.
Okay.
Well, wait.
Listen to this.
Hey, you guys? Say hi to Betty.
- Hi, Betty! - Hey, Betty! MAN: Hi, Betty! ROXY: I don't know if you can hear that, but we are a hit! Yeah, I heard it.
BETTY: Well, I knew you could do it, girl.
I just can't believe I was smart enough to put you in charge.
So go.
Enjoy it with your friends while you can.
Because you know what? Tomorrow you got to get up and do it all over again.
And I still think it's a stupid name for a bar.
(ROXY SIGHS) Hey, babe.
- I am so proud of you.
- Thank you.
I have never been so tired in my whole entire life.
(ALL LAUGHING) Thank you guys so much for coming.
- It was a blast, Rox.
- Can't wait to do it again.
Well, I know it wasn't easy for you guys to be here.
But you were.
And it means a lot to me.
Well, it was a great night.
Almost perfect.
(SIGHS) This is it? Hi.
The last place Amanda was Amanda.
(EXHALES) Emmalin.
Baby.
I think maybe she's here, too.
Maybe she is.
