Army Wives s04e14 Episode Script

Previously on Army Wives Professor Chandler.
Um, I'm not sure you know.
I'm married to the Post Commander at Fort Marshall.
Yeah, I'm aware.
This is a tough case, and I want my best team, and that means you.
You used me.
No.
I did what was best for the client.
And that makes it okay? The functional MRI confirms what we suspected, Colonel Burton.
You're suffering from traumatic brain injury.
Joan, you won't be deploying with the brigade.
I feel like I might never see my husband again.
Dear Claudia Joy, it feels like an eternity since we kissed goodbye.
I've been going 24/7 since we put boots on the ground in Kandahar.
Mostly, my days are taken up with shuras.
That's Afghan for meetings, meetings and more meetings.
I swear, I've never had so much tea in my life.
Frank's working with our NA TO counterparts.
Though I think the officers from France would prefer he didn't try to speak French.
You should hear me parlez the français, D.
I sound just like a native.
There are 42 nations in the coalition, and I'm the liaison with all of them.
There's some cultural differences, and it can get confusing, but the assignment has its perks.
The Germans The Germans have beer flown in to their base camp, so I might just have to ask for a tour.
I sure hope that baby Molly is easing up on the jujitsu so you can get some sleep.
I've seen Jeremy.
The boy is settling in just fine.
Try not to worry about him, D, though I know that's easier said than done.
Hey, Mom.
Sweating my butt off here.
Would give anything for a shower longer than three minutes.
No worries, though, Sergeant LeBlanc pushes us hard, but we know he wants to keep us sharp.
Hey, babe, I think of you all the time.
No matter what I'm doing, you and the boys are always with me.
I bet Fort Marshall's a ghost town since deployment.
Hope you're finding things to keep busy.
That's it for now.
Love you.
Miss you tons.
Hugs to the boys for me, and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Trevor.
Mom! Can I say goodbye? Go ahead.
Mommy's gonna come get you real soon, okay? Promise.
I'll see you soon now.
I can't believe you're doing this.
I came back on my own.
Child Protective Services will take good care of your daughter while this gets sorted out.
It's been a long time since I've had to think about breathing technique.
What about me? Lamaze class, again? - You are doing fine.
- That's 'cause I have a great coach.
Hey.
Roxy, what's up? You guys are not gonna believe what I just saw.
- I mean, I don't even believe it.
- What? You know that soldier who went AWOL before deployment? Yeah, Specialist Stiles, the single mom.
Yeah, yeah.
Apparently, she returned to post this morning and the MPs arrested her, and they took away her little girl.
Hi.
I'm Claudia Joy Holden.
General Holden's wife.
Yes.
I'm also head of the FRG.
I was wondering if I could help.
- That'd be great.
- Why don't we sit down, Specialist? - Please, ma'am, call me Amber.
- Sure.
I know what they're saying about me, that I didn't want to deploy, - but that's not true, ma'am.
- No? It's my daughter Maddie.
She's two.
My mother was gonna take care of her in Tallahassee.
That's my hometown.
- But she got sick and had to back out.
- What happened? Kidney disease, on account of her high blood pressure.
She's on dialysis now, three times a week, but she can't come here and leave her job, 'cause she needs her health benefits.
So I tried to find someone in Charleston, neighbors, people from church What about Maddie's father? He's not in the picture anymore.
Okay.
I met him after my first tour.
I thought we were in love, but when I told him I was pregnant, that was it.
And then deployment came, and you had no family care plan.
I understand the Army gave you an extension.
It ran out.
Look, I didn't know what to do.
So on the day before deployment, I went back to Tallahassee, tried to find anyone to take Maddie.
You knew you were AWOL.
I couldn't show up on the tarmac with my daughter in my arms.
When things didn't pan out in Tallahassee, I came back.
Voluntarily.
I mean, I didn't expect them to take Maddie from me.
I didn't expect to end up here.
- What did you expect? - I don't know.
I was just hoping things would work out.
Okay, has the Army assigned you a lawyer? Yes, ma'am, but a Charleston law firm called and said they'd represent me for nothing.
Pro bono? Right.
They said I was better off with an outside lawyer.
And you are without question.
- Professor Chandler.
- Claudia Joy.
Specialist Stiles, Grant Chandler.
You all know each other? She's a student of mine in law school.
Specialist, would you mind terribly if Ms.
Holden and I had a word outside? Sure.
Excuse us.
Actually, you were gonna be my next call.
How would you like to assist me again on this case? Because of my knowledge of the Army, not because of my Army connections.
I couldn't have said it better myself.
You did say it, last time we worked together.
You certainly jumped on this case in a hurry.
It's an important issue.
You've heard the expression, "Mission first, people always.
" Here's a case where the Army is separating a mother and her child.
There's more to it than that.
Sure, but isn't that what it comes down to? I mean, isn't that why you're here? As head of the Family Readiness Group, my job is to advocate for families.
So, sounds like we're on the same side.
What do you say? You in? Yeah.
Yeah.
Good.
Let's go talk to our client.
So you did this how? - We were - The game was tied, time running out.
Giron takes off in a post pattern.
Playing football.
Life and death.
It was against the Air Force.
Way to go, soldier.
You dislocated your shoulder.
Happy? I held on to the ball.
Only because I put it right between the numbers.
I can reduce the dislocation right now.
I'll give you something for the pain first.
Nah, just do it.
- You sure? - Yeah, I can take it.
Okay, tough guy, on three.
One Good as new, Giron.
You'll need to wear a sling for a couple of weeks to immobilize your arm.
Nurse Parker will help you with that.
Take ibuprofen for any pain.
Come back in a few days for a follow-up.
Your government thanks you for taking yourself out of action for blatant stupidity.
- She wants me.
- Right.
They want to court-martial me? This country's at war, Amber.
They want to make an example of you by trying you in military court.
Why? Because there are 20,000 other single mothers out there who are on active duty.
They don't want to lose control of the situation.
What Professor What Mr.
Chandler is saying, is that the Army has to be concerned about setting a precedent.
How they handle this case could affect a lot of other single parents in uniform.
Exactly.
So if they want to go to court-martial, I say, let them.
Let the government try to show that it's justified separating an Iraq war veteran from her little girl.
Army service separates soldiers and children all the time.
I think maybe what you mean is that in this case, they didn't give Specialist Stiles adequate time to find care.
The fact is, we've got MPs forcibly taking her little girl out of her arms and putting the child in the custody of the state.
I don't want to lose Maddie.
And you want to stay in the Army, correct? Yes, sir.
The Army is my life.
Exactly.
So what we're gonna do is make sure that you maintain your career, as well as proper custody of your child.
All right? Okay.
So we're done here.
Guard.
We'll come back tomorrow, and we'll discuss how we're gonna go from here.
Any questions? Ms.
Holden? Would you mind going to see Maddie? I just need to know she's okay.
Absolutely.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Bye.
Roland.
Lunchtime special? No time, Rox.
I'm just here to pick up some gumbo.
It'll save me from having to make dinner tonight.
There's not much of a lunch crowd.
With the deployment, this is kind of the new normal around here.
Hey, did you hear about the soldier that got arrested for going AWOL? And they took her kid, too.
Claudia Joy's gonna help her out.
Hello.
Yeah.
What's up? Nothing.
Okay.
I had to take Joan to the doctor, she wasn't ready, which made me late getting back to Piedmont, which put me behind all day, so Hey, Lori, will you tell Chief that this order gets top priority? And add an order of shrimp to it, on the house.
Rox The shrimp is to gulp at your desk.
You gotta eat.
Thanks.
I tell you what, Rox.
I can't remember the last time that I read a book or worked out or even vegged out in front of the TV.
That's not good.
I'll be all right.
Come on.
Next to shrinks, bartenders know best.
Dr.
Roxy is in.
Let's hear it.
It's Joan.
- I thought she was getting better.
- She is.
Slowly.
You ever hear of caregiver burnout? When Joan came back from Iraq, I thought I was gonna get some help with Sara Elizabeth.
Instead, I've been babysitting for two.
Sounds exhausting.
Now my life revolves around their schedules, their needs, their moods Like you don't know.
And I know it's not Joan's fault.
I mean, nobody wants to get better faster than she does, but there are times when I just want to Scream.
Throw things against the wall.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
And then I get angry with myself for getting angry at her, and then I just resent the whole thing, Joan, the Army, all of it.
It sounds to me like you need a break.
- Blow off some steam.
- When? Here you go, Roxy.
Thank you.
It's okay.
I'll get over it.
Hey, wait.
Your change.
No, ma'am.
That's for the session.
Thanks, Doc.
Mrs.
Gunderson, so nice to see you.
Come on in.
Excuse me.
Are you Katie Moran's mother? - Your name tag.
- Oh! Right.
Bob Wilson.
Katie's friends with my daughter Emma.
Of course.
Emma's such a sweet girl.
Pamela.
Being here brings back memories.
Most of them bad.
Most of them involving gym class.
See, all I can think about is sitting outside Sister Karen Marie's office, waiting to get detention.
A raiser, huh? Glad to see you were able to turn your life around.
Right.
Your Emma was so nice to Katie when she started at Garfield.
You know, it's hard to be the new kid mid-year.
Yeah, Emma went through all that.
Divorce.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Mrs.
Moran? We're ready for you.
It's nice to talk to you Bob.
- Bob.
Nice to talk to you, Bob.
- You, too, Pamela.
So you're working with Chandler again? Total coincidence.
I was visiting Specialist Stiles, and he'd already contacted her.
Michael.
I'll be honest, Claudia Joy.
I don't like the guy.
I know.
He's a glory hound, after headlines.
He has a long record of supporting good causes pro bono.
Environmental groups, the homeless, senior citizens.
He's not in it for the money.
No.
He's in it for the ego.
- Oh, Michael - Look, he may be a fine teacher and an upstanding citizen, but he would love to make a bigger name for himself by bashing the Army.
Then it's a good thing I'm there.
Make sure that doesn't happen, right? I guess you're right.
Hey, I got another meeting.
- Send my love to Emmalin.
- I will.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Hey, I'm telling you, man.
It's the Tigers' year.
Dream on, Riggs.
The Yankees already have the series in their back pocket.
- You wanna bet? - Yes, I would love to.
Let's do it.
Later.
Careful engaging the enemy, Sherwood.
Specialist Gabriel.
- It's Gabriel.
- Gabriel.
Could I buy you a cup of terrible coffee? - No, thanks.
- Lukewarm soda pop? - Forget it.
- Come on.
You gotta let me do something.
You fixed my buddy's shoulder.
That's my job, to treat soldiers.
Even irresponsible idiots.
Ouch.
Now that's kind of harsh, isn't it? You don't even know me.
Works for me.
Way to go, Sherwood.
Told you.
- Thanks for coming.
- No problem.
- I work the late shift tonight.
- Yeah? Michael isn't thrilled I'm involved with this.
I assured him I just want to see Amber is treated fairly.
- Like all of us.
- No.
No, not like all of us.
- I'm getting e-mails.
- From soldiers? And their wives.
They're saying, "Amber deserves whatever she has coming to her.
"This is wartime.
She should've been ready for deployment.
" A few are even questioning why she had a baby if she couldn't take care of her.
I guess you can't blame them.
It's hard to be understanding when a soldier tries to get out of deployment.
Amber doesn't want out of it, she just wants her daughter cared for.
- Mrs.
Holden? - Yes.
Hi.
- Hi.
- Mrs.
Sherwood.
- Hi.
- We're ready for you.
This way, please.
Okay.
As I explained, it's rather unorthodox to have non-family members check on a foster child's welfare, but under the circumstances, I thought it was warranted.
- Thank you.
- We do appreciate it.
There's Maddie.
How's she doing? Cries a little at night for her mother, but she's a bright and loving child.
How long will she stay here? - This is only temporary, correct? - Yes.
The goal is to find a suitable relative or friend to take Maddie.
And at the same time, we'll also try to identify a family who will care for her on a lifelong basis, if necessary, either as legal guardians or through adoption.
- Adoption? - Specialist Stiles is Maddie's mother.
Granted, but in situations like this, the court will decide Maddie's future.
I don't understand why you're so eager to take this to trial.
A court-martial is actually to our advantage.
See, we want Amber up on the stand telling her story.
It's emotional.
It's heartbreaking.
The Army's not gonna want that kind of publicity.
But will that get Amber what she wants? If we apply enough pressure, it should give Amber enough time to find proper child care and then deploy.
Hmm, well - You don't know the Army.
- What do you mean? They don't respond well to being embarrassed in the press.
Too bad.
I haven't found a single precedent to support your strategy, either.
- We'll be creating precedent.
- If we win.
There's always that risk.
But we're talking about a mother and child here being separated, possibly forever, if she were to go to prison.
Claudia Joy, the history of social justice shows us that there's always someone who's gotta stand up first to be counted.
Yes, but are we sure Amber wants to be that someone? Are you suggesting that I don't have my client's best interests at heart? No.
No, no, no.
I'm suggesting that maybe there's another way to deal with this.
Like what? A settlement? We could try to negotiate something.
We don't have to negotiate.
We've got a strong case.
Exposing the draconian policy of an overstressed military, forcing mothers to abandon their children just to put boots on the ground? The Army has a strong case, too.
Absent without leave, missing movement, dereliction of duty, insubordination.
All the other single parents seemed to handle this deployment without a problem.
Claudia Joy, I know what we're dealing with.
I know.
I don't know if you're seeing it through Amber's eyes.
You don't have a family, do you? You know what? I think we're done here tonight.
Okay.
- All I meant was - Hey, Mom, I Hi, honey.
This is my daughter Emmalin.
Mr.
Chandler.
- Hi.
- Hello.
We're working on that case I told you about.
Oh.
I think it's really great what you're doing for that soldier and her daughter.
- Thank you.
- Yeah.
So you're the hockey player who's going to Woodsen.
Hopefully, yes.
You know, they've got a great pre-law program there.
Any interest? I'm thinking about it.
My firm, it needs interns every summer.
So, if you want, you can give me a call.
Really? - Sure.
- Thanks.
I got you broccoli and noodles.
Great.
I'm gonna take it up to my room because I have homework, but it was nice to meet you.
Same here.
Look.
We'll present both sides tomorrow to Amber, but I think, in the light of day, you will see that court-martial is the way to go.
Anyway, thanks for dinner.
See you tomorrow.
Okay.
Good night.
What's this? Ice cream and trashy magazines for taking care of Katie and Lucas.
- What kind of ice cream? - Double fudge.
Let's hit it before they find out.
Totally.
Hey, what do you hear from Trevor? He is still training with his men.
They haven't gone out on patrol yet.
Don't worry.
He'll be safe.
Yeah.
Hello.
Hi, Bob.
Yeah, I remember.
Tomorrow night? Actually, I am on the night shift tomorrow, so But thank you.
All right.
Take care.
Okay.
Bye.
You are not on the night shift tomorrow.
And who is Bob? He's the father of one of Katie's friends.
I met him at the parent-teacher conference.
- Jerk? - No.
He's nice, divorced, kind of sweet.
- And the problem is? - We've been over this.
Yes, but what is the harm in having a good time? Don't you deserve it? Besides, what's the worst that can happen? You're a cop.
If something goes bad, you can Taser him.
Can I just have my ice cream, please? So she's okay? She's eating all right? Yes.
She looked healthy, well taken care of.
She made this for you.
God.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
- Of course.
- Okay.
We still need the magistrate to review your pretrial confinement.
We hope to have you released with limitations on liberty within the week.
What does that mean? You'll have to stay on post, and your pass privileges will be revoked.
And if I don't get that? You'll be moved to a longer-term facility, the women's prison in North Charleston.
But you shouldn't worry about that.
That's only if the Army considers you a flight risk.
I came back on my own.
I want to do my job.
I want to deploy.
And we know that.
That's what we're gonna argue at trial.
When will that be? Considering the court's full docket and how long it'll take to prepare for court-martial, it could be, I don't know, three, four months.
Four months? A short-term sacrifice for a long-term gain.
If you're willing to stay the course.
Are you willing to do that? I've always followed through on my missions, sir.
Excellent.
Unless you're released to post, you do understand, you'll be separated from Maddie during that time? And what about visitation rights? Foster care won't allow her to come here or to a prison.
Of course, we could try for a settlement.
Considering the Army would offer one.
I mean, they've indicated no leniency in this case.
They want a court-martial.
What would a settlement mean? We'd ask for administrative discharge.
I don't want a discharge.
Being a soldier is all I ever wanted to do since I was a little kid.
Besides, in the Army, my daughter gets housing, medical benefits, security.
Yeah, yeah.
You're right.
It's a lot to give up.
But we'd argue at court-martial that you simply weren't given adequate time to come up with a proper family care plan.
Look, it's up to you.
Going to trial, you risk losing.
But a settlement would mean that I'm out of the Army? Any settlement? Yes.
Okay.
I want a court-martial.
There you go.
Okay, folks.
Let's settle.
So we ended our last session talking about what it means to own your feelings.
Wonder if anyone has further thoughts on that to get us started today.
- Sorry I'm late, sir.
- Not a problem.
- Want to introduce yourself? - Sure.
Specialist Jeremy Sherwood from the 23rd.
Welcome to the group, Specialist.
So we talked about how your feelings come from your thinking.
Now that doesn't mean that you should give yourself happy thoughts and think everything is gonna be okay.
It doesn't work that way.
It'd be great if it did, though, right? So how do we control those emotions? - Any thoughts on that? - I have something.
Sure.
Um About a year ago, I was deployed to Iraq and lost my best friend.
At the time, I thought that it was my fault, that if I had done something different, that he would still be alive.
Hey, Sherwood.
- Hey.
- Hey.
I appreciated what you had to say in there.
- Takes guts to be that honest.
- Thank you.
Yeah, if my story can help someone, I'm glad to share it.
So that offer for bad coffee still stands.
Stop by the aid station.
1900? Roger that.
Dr.
Burton, your 2:00 is here.
Thank you.
It's a new patient, right? I can't seem to find her intake folder.
I don't need an intake folder.
Rox? It's time for your therapy, Doc.
For the next hour, you are all mine.
Grab your sneaks.
The hidden talents of Roxanne Marie LeBlanc! - You been holding out on me? - Yeah.
This chick's got game.
I guess so.
I like Of course, the doctor's got game, too.
You ready for this? - I don't know.
Let's see what you got.
- You ready? - You ready for this? - Ready.
You're not ready.
You're not ready.
Come on! Hey, thanks, Rox.
- I needed this.
- Yeah, you did.
Hey.
We're looking for a third for a little three-on-three.
You interested? Yeah, but only if my friend here can play, too.
All right.
Deal.
All right.
I got you.
Let's go.
You and me, all day.
All day.
That's plenty.
Thanks.
- Glad you got out of your shift.
- Yeah.
Me, too.
Just read the schedule wrong.
- Still getting used to the job.
- I bet.
It must be an adjustment, divorce, new job.
Yeah.
- Tell me about it.
- Nah.
It's not that interesting.
It is to me.
I don't know many women that could've done what you did.
Come back to a job that you left years ago, and not an easy job, either.
True enough.
What's it been like? I'm sorry.
I don't want to put you on the spot.
I've been out here a little longer than you have.
I remember what it was like, just getting back on your feet.
Thanks.
So, go ahead and ask.
Ask what? What I was doing in that therapy session.
I'm guessing you had your share of trauma over here.
You lost people, just like I have.
I knew it would happen.
I mean, you don't go into medical training not knowing, you just You can't imagine it.
You think you can save people.
- And you can, just not always.
- No.
Take guys like you.
You mean idiots like me and Giron? Uh-huh.
You're goofing off playing football one day, and you're on my table the next.
Yeah.
Your legs blown off, faces burnt, bleeding out.
You do what you can.
That's all any of us can do.
So you found them in bed together? Mmm-hmm.
Instead of doing my taxes, my accountant was doing my wife.
Wow.
I'm so sorry.
My accountant, total geek.
April 15th is still a pretty dark day for me.
- And how long has it been? - Three years.
Maybe you just need a little more time.
No.
I don't care what she did.
I want her back.
Bob? Are you crying? No.
I'll be okay.
Check, please.
I just don't feel right about it.
You think Chandler's wrong to want a court-martial? Uh, I think it's bold, and it would certainly focus attention on the struggles of single parents in the military, but - But is it right for Amber? - Exactly.
You and I have been around the Army too long to think she can walk away scot-free.
I sympathize with her.
I do.
I don't want to see her unfairly punished, but she did seriously violate procedure in a time of war.
- You don't think you can win in court.
- No, I don't.
She could lose everything.
Can you talk to the Army and find out what they're willing to do? I thought about talking to Colonel Reddick.
You should.
- I'm on Chandler's team.
- You're also head of the FRG.
Doesn't that give you the right to intercede in personal matters like this? Maybe you're right.
I appreciate you seeing me, Colonel Reddick.
Of course.
Of course.
So you're here about the Stiles matter.
Yes, as part of my law studies, I'm assisting the lead lawyer for the defense.
I've been informed that Specialist Stiles wants to proceed to court-martial.
- Yes, presently, that's true, sir.
- Presently? Being head of the FRG, I want to be sure Specialist Stiles is fully aware of all the options available to her.
- I see.
Please take a seat.
- Thank you.
Well, look.
If Specialist Stiles wants to play hardball, the Army is happy to oblige.
She took the oath.
She knew the rules.
She can't change them simply because they don't fit with her present lifestyle.
She has an obligation to the Army.
I understand.
She also has an obligation to her child.
Does she have to choose between the two? If this goes to court-martial, the defense plans to recall soldiers from Afghanistan to testify.
We have videoconferencing for that.
I know, but I believe the defense can compel witnesses to appear in person.
- I see.
- Then there's the media.
If they get a hold of this story, and you know they will, that could be a huge distraction to the 23rd.
All right.
You know my position, Mrs.
Holden.
What are you proposing? Colonel, I guess my question is, what is the Army willing to propose? Hi.
Mr.
Chandler will be here soon.
- He's just running a little late.
- I don't know what to do.
I'm thinking maybe I don't want a court-martial after all.
We should wait for Mr.
Chandler to discuss that.
What do you think, ma'am? I think it would depend on what you could get from a settlement.
What do you think I could get? We really should wait.
You know something, don't you? I spoke to Colonel Reddick.
He says you could be reunited with Maddie and not face jail time.
That's great.
What about staying in the Army? That's impossible.
I'm sorry.
You'd be given an other than honorable discharge.
That means I'd lose my VA benefits, the GI Bill.
Yes, but it's not a dishonorable discharge, and that's important for your future employment.
All I want is to be a good soldier and a good mother.
Why can't I do both? I know.
I'm sorry.
What do you think I should do? I can't tell you what to do.
I do believe, if this goes to court-martial, the Army will do everything in its power to make an example out of you.
In that case, it might be impossible to get Maddie back.
What's going on here? - We were discussing - The Army's settlement offer.
I think I want to take it.
- What the was that? - What? You make a settlement offer without my presence? We were waiting for you.
Amber was asking me what I thought and And so you decided to make an end run around me.
How dare you go to Reddick without my authorization? I was trying to help, and I don't need your authorization to speak with Reddick.
I'm head of the FRG.
Spare me.
You just compromised our case.
What? You deliberately prejudiced the client to favor the Army's point of view.
You are way out of line.
I did no such thing.
But somebody has to care more about Amber than making headlines.
All right.
All right, Claudia Joy.
You are off this case.
I apologize about the disruption.
It must be confusing.
I'm sorry, sir.
I can't.
- Can't what? - Go to trial.
The only way I'm sure of keeping Maddie is to take the Army's offer.
That may be true, but, you see, there's more to it than that.
I don't know how much Mrs.
Holden told you, but She didn't have to tell me anything.
I love being in the Army, but I love my daughter more.
Mom, you have a visitor.
Thanks, Emmalin.
- Hi.
- I just wanted to let you know that Amber's settlement papers are being drawn up.
- Good.
- Yeah, I thought you'd be happy.
She gets her child back, but has to give up her Army career.
I can't really be happy about that.
For the record, I think she made the wrong choice.
I know.
I came down kind of hard on you today, Claudia Joy.
