Army Wives s05e07 Episode Script

Previously on Army Wives taking a job with Grant Chandler? With his law firm.
Welcome to Chandler, Arnoff and Drake.
Thank you, Professor.
Grant.
I don't think the timing is right for a baby.
We're not getting any younger.
What's going on with the truck stop? Nothing.
Last time we talked it was full speed ahead.
That was before the bank cut my loan in half.
Maybe it was a blessing in disguise.
Are you saying I made a mistake? How'd you get the contractor's fee so low? I've got a friend.
Well, what are we waiting for? Call him! Hey, Whit, it's me.
Chase and I are She said yes! - You're getting married? - When's the date? Well, we haven't decided on a time yet.
If you ask me, the sooner the better.
Well, in that case, what's everybody doing next Sunday? Okay, new load.
Hey.
You okay? Yeah.
I think I pulled a muscle at yoga yesterday.
And see, that is why I don't exercise.
And Pamela, thank you for coming.
Service above and beyond the call of duty.
Please, I will be an official Army wife again soon.
Yeah, how soon? I still haven't gotten my wedding invitation yet.
That's because they're not having a wedding.
Can you believe it? - What? - Roxy.
Yeah, they're doing it down at the courthouse.
Like they're paying some parking ticket or something.
Chase and I already had a big wedding the first time.
The second time it's just What? A rerun? Real romantic, Moran.
What do you expect? A poofy white dress, big church, the whole nine yards? What's wrong with that? I think we deserve it.
- What? - Roxy, it doesn't matter how they do it.
The point is they're getting married.
- Thank you.
- We should be happy for them.
Yeah, happy that they're doing it like a couple of fugitives down at the courthouse, right down the hall from the murderers and the drug dealers.
Come on, am I alone here? Well, when you put it like that Okay, we're not having this discussion.
Chase and I are doing it the way we want to do it and that's it.
- But - Zip it.
Mom! Mom, look at this! It's the perfect dress! Well, hello to you, too.
I found it online.
It's Vera Wang! Where did you get this? I've been googling wedding stuff all week.
Don't you love it? Well, yeah, it's nice, but Nice? Mom, it's Vera Wang! All the stars are wearing their hair down these days, but yours is kind of messy that way, so I was thinking that you should wear your hair up.
But no veil.
Veils are so lame, right? And this is the tuxedo that I think Dad should wear.
I like the regular tie instead of the bow tie.
- Look, Katie, we're not - This is so awesome! How many kids get to be at their parents' wedding? I was thinking we should do a cupcake tower instead of a regular cake.
What do you think? I think that sounds awesome.
Mmm Oh, no.
I'm coming, sweetheart! Who's ready for some breakfast? We are.
Your daddy is a man of many talents.
Yes, he is.
Eat your food.
Here's your fork.
I got it.
- Hello? - Roland? Denise? You sound terrible.
Yeah, believe me, I feel worse.
What's the matter? Stomach, head.
I would go to my doctor, but I'm spending too much time in the bathroom.
- Well, where's Frank? - D.
C.
Okay, I'll be right over.
Okay.
Oh! Roland, this really isn't necessary.
It's 101.
That's pretty serious, Denise.
You have nausea? Both.
Tips and tails.
That's delightful.
It looks like you've got that stomach bug that's been going around.
Patty had it last week.
It laid her out for 24 hours and then she was fine.
Can you prescribe something? It's viral, Denise.
You know that drugs aren't going to help.
I can't afford to be sick.
Not with Frank out of town.
- I got her.
- Are you sure? I have changed more than my share of diapers.
Hey, Denise, why don't you let Joan and me babysit Molly? - What? - Just until you feel better.
- No.
- We've got day care at Piedmont.
And Joan and I can watch her tonight.
What do you say? - Excuse me.
- Yeah.
- Denise.
- Yes, take her! Okay.
Okay, you win.
We're having a wedding.
Yay! See, I knew you'd come around if I nagged you enough.
Actually, smartass, it was Katie.
She's nuts about a big wedding.
She downloaded all of this stuff.
She's got her heart set on it and I just can't disappoint her.
Wow, Katie has some expensive taste.
No kidding.
So what do you think we can throw together before Sunday? Heading back to the job site.
- Was that - Whit, yeah.
Finn's dad? He's back? He's my contractor for the truck stop.
Wait a minute, I thought you didn't get the loan for the truck stop.
No, I just didn't get as much as I wanted.
That's why I had to hire Whit.
He's giving us a break.
That didn't happen to be his trailer parked outside.
Yep.
So Finn's dad is your contractor, he's living in your parking lot, and Trevor's cool with this? Please tell me you told Trevor.
I'm going to tell him.
Tonight.
Let's not talk about the truck stop anymore.
We've got a wedding to plan.
Oh, catching up? Uh, slowly.
Grant, thanks again for being understanding about my time off.
Of course, of course.
Here.
The Riverside case.
Take a look, we'll talk.
Ma'am, please slow down, I can't understand you.
Mr.
Chandler, a woman for you.
Elena something.
I can't make out what she's saying, but she's very upset.
Ma'am.
Ma'am, you need to unlock this door now.
- Stay back, please.
- I'm an attorney.
My name is Grant Chandler.
This is my associate and Elena Cabrera is my client.
What, she called you from the bathroom? Yes, she did.
And I'd like to speak with her, if you don't mind.
Yeah, I do mind.
How does a waitress happen to have a lawyer on speed dial? Now that's really none of your business, but Elena Cabrera happens to be my friend.
She serves me breakfast here every morning.
Maybe you can tell us what's going on.
Simple.
We've got a standing order to deport.
- There must be some mistake.
- No mistake.
When we showed her the warrant, she ran into the bathroom and locked herself in.
Well, can we talk to her? It's easier than breaking the door down.
- Five minutes.
- Thank you.
Elena, it's Grant Chandler.
Let me in so we can talk.
Elena, unlock the door.
I promise, no immigration agents are going to come in with me.
Elena, this is Claudia Joy.
She works with me.
She's a friend.
Are you okay? - No, no, no, no, no.
- All right, all right.
Just tell us what's going on.
They want to send me back to El Salvador.
I have my green card, Mr.
Chandler! I'm legal.
I can prove it.
I know, I know.
Obviously, there's been some screw-up somewhere.
If Antonio was here, he would know how to fix this.
- Is Antonio your husband? - Yes.
Where is he? Maybe we can get in touch with him.
No.
No, you can't because he's in Afghanistan.
He's in the Army.
Yeah.
Look, we're going to take care of this, Elena, but for right now, I need you to come outside.
No.
They'll arrest me, put me in jail.
Yes, but there's nothing we can do about that right now.
Mr.
Chandler, they'll send me back! No, they won't.
The Army would never let that happen, not with your husband in uniform.
Look, I know how scared you are, but we'll be with you every step of the way.
Promise.
You ready? Okay.
Put your hands behind your back.
This way.
Am I getting out of here? Elena, your green card is a forgery.
No, no.
That's impossible.
My mother, she paid for it in El Salvador.
She used her life savings.
We filled out forms, we went to the We're sorry.
Whoever your mother paid was a crook.
A clever crook.
The documents aren't genuine.
I don't understand.
I've been in this country for six years, paid my taxes.
Why? Why do they come after me now? - Because you applied for citizenship.
- Yes.
Antonio became a citizen after he joined the Army and now it's my turn.
Unfortunately, the background check revealed the problem.
What am I going to do, Mr.
Chandler? What's going to happen to the baby? The baby? I'm pregnant.
So now what do we do? Well, we hope for a sympathetic judge.
Who wouldn't be sympathetic in this case? Well, she is here illegally, Claudia Joy.
She didn't know that.
Well, it's immaterial.
Got to do better, Counselor.
Now we can work on a stay, but we need to contact her husband.
He can petition on Elena's behalf.
And we may need to pull some strings with the Army.
Okay.
I'll try.
Good.
No, don't worry about it.
You may call whenever.
All right.
Good night.
Hmm.
Let me guess.
Yep.
That's three calls in two hours.
Your mommy misses you very, very much.
Of course, who can blame her? Look at her, Roland.
She's so tiny.
Hey.
Is this baby tiny? Yeah? All right, come on.
You want to play patty cake? Okay? Cake, patty cake, baker's man, bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it, and pat it, and mark it with a B, and put it in the oven for baby and me.
Give it up.
What do you think? Pretty straightforward.
Going to sub the pumps, though.
Don't have much experience with gas.
If the place ever goes up in a fireball, I don't want you blaming me.
Okay.
Thank you for putting that picture in my head.
Don't worry, Rox.
I won't let you down.
I know you won't.
All right, I got to get home.
Trevor's calling.
- That'll be nice.
- Yeah.
Hey, Karen, can I get a refill over here? - Have a good one.
- You, too.
Thanks.
It is so unfair, Michael.
She's in custody just because she wants to become a citizen.
Have you tried JAG? My first call.
My first three calls, actually.
I got different answers from three different people, none of them helpful.
Really? That's not acceptable.
What can I do? Put us in touch with Specialist Cabrera.
He could apply for an immediate Relative Visa.
I could e-mail you all that as soon as we hang Hang up.
You okay? Yeah.
I'm trying this new yoga class.
Uh Pulled a muscle.
Well, take it easy.
It's a great stress reliever.
You really should keep up with it.
It's not really the same without you next to me in those sexy outfits with the music.
- Honey - A man can dream, can't he? I'm glad you do.
Minister, check.
Cupcake tower, check.
Tuxedos, check.
Vera Wang knockoff, check.
Oh, Roxy's working on a band and we are gonna see a venue tomorrow.
You are really getting into this.
Please, if it were up to me, we'd be in line to see a judge right behind Glenda, the Ax Murderer.
Who? Never mind.
What do you think about all this? I think it's great.
The kids are excited, all our friends are going to be there.
And this time, I will be sober.
- Chase.
- I'm kidding.
Look, all that matters to me is that I get to wake up next to you for the rest of my life.
And I mean that.
What's pink and fuzzy? I don't know, buddy.
What? Pink fuzz.
What's blue and fuzzy? - Blue fuzz? - No.
Pink fuzz holding its breath.
Okay.
You got me there.
Hey, can I speak to your mom, please? Sure.
Mom, Dad wants to talk to you.
Okay.
Go brush your teeth.
Hey.
Brush your teeth.
Tell your brother to get in the shower.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, babe! How are you? - I'm good.
You? - Fantastic.
Do you believe T.
J.
's report card? Yeah, he seemed really proud.
Yeah.
I've actually got some news, too.
We are breaking ground on the truck stop tomorrow.
Okay, I thought you said the bank turned you down.
Yeah, not entirely.
See, I found ways to cut costs, lower the amount that we need.
Like there's this contractor You told me this thing was dead.
Yeah, but there's a contractor I don't give a damn about your contractor, Roxy! You should have talked to me about this first.
I have tried talking to you, but every time I do you tell me what a bad idea it is.
Maybe because it is.
Well, I am doing what I think is right for the boys! We're going in circles here, babe.
We agreed not to do anything - until I got home - No.
No, we did not agree on that.
Yeah, we did, but once you get something in your head, there's no turning back, is there? You're just going to do it, no matter what.
That is not true! Look Okay, look, I have to tell you about this contractor.
Forget it, Roxy.
Go ahead and build your damn truck stop.
Just don't talk to me about it.
Trevor? Trevor.
I didn't hear you get up.
Well, you fed her at 2:00.
I thought I'd let you sleep.
I can take her if you want to go back to bed.
No, I'm good.
We haven't lost our touch, have we? No.
We still got it.
Hmm.
Think we could keep her? Pretty sure Denise and Frank would notice.
- Probably right.
- Yeah.
Hi.
Hi, Molly.
So he hung up on you? Wouldn't even let me tell him about Whit.
And I tried, believe me.
Well, try me.
Why did you hire Whit? I told you.
He's saving us a lot of money.
What? What do you think is going to happen? Seriously.
It's how it looks, Rox.
I said to Whit, he's not allowed on post, no one will ever see him.
And the work will be done before Trevor gets back.
Heck, Trevor doesn't even have to know he was ever here.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
So what do you think of the grounds? - It's fantastic.
- Yeah, it's beautiful.
What if it rains? We have a tent for inclement weather, naturally.
It really is kismet, your calling like this.
We're booked solid for six months, but the couple who reserved this Sunday suddenly got cold feet.
Great! I mean, for us.
Not for them.
Our price card.
Let me walk you through the options.
Well, as you can imagine, it's extremely difficult dealing with the authorities in El Salvador.
And Mrs.
Cabrera's mother, who obtained the green card, died two years ago.
I see.
And the record shows that Mrs.
Cabrera has never committed a crime.
Other than entering the United States illegally and working here with false documents.
Mrs.
Cabrera is also three months pregnant, Your Honor.
Her husband was home on medical leave earlier this year after he was wounded in action and Congratulations to the happy couple, but what does that have to do with anything? She'd like to have her child here.
You mean her anchor baby.
Of course she would like to have the child here.
The baby would automatically become a citizen.
All right, I've heard enough.
I'm sure we're grateful to Specialist Cabrera for his military service.
However, based on the evidence, the court denies the request for a stay of deportation.
Well, we request more time, Your Honor.
You have seven days before deportation, Mr.
Chandler.
Bail is denied.
Seven days? We're sorry, Elena.
The judge is running for public office next year.
He doesn't want to appear soft on immigration.
Have you talked to Antonio? Not yet.
We're doing everything we can to reach him.
He was so proud to enlist.
The Army would provide for our family, would give us all a better life.
Much better.
Fresh diaper, happy baby.
The display box arrived yesterday.
It's nice, Denise.
It's really nice.
Thanks.
We could always keep her a second night, no problem.
Thanks, but the fever's gone, I'm feeling human again.
Don't look so disappointed.
Well, I have to admit, it wouldn't have broken our hearts if it had been a 48-hour bug.
Yeah, easy for you to say.
Thanks, again.
It was our pleasure, believe me.
- I'll see you, Molly, girl.
- Yeah.
You come see us again real soon, okay? - Bye.
Thank you.
- Yeah.
Say bye-bye.
Say bye-bye.
Bye-bye, Roland.
So what does the best man do? Lots of things.
First, you got to stand next to me up front, have my back, make sure my fly's not open or anything.
Then you have to keep the rings in your pocket and give them to the minister when he asks.
Think you can do that? Easy.
Something smells good.
It's spaghetti.
Yum! Hey, guys, I need to talk to Dad for a minute, okay? So could you - Okay.
- Okay.
What's up? Well, we found the perfect place.
Beautiful gardens, historical building.
- Sounds great.
- Yeah, well, it should be.
Take a look at these prices.
Wow.
This is the only place available on Sunday? Apparently, Charleston is the number two wedding destination in this country.
Who knew? Wow.
That's what I thought.
And add that to the food and the band and I really think we've got to face facts.
Let's do it.
Chase, it's ridiculous.
It's not ridiculous, Pamela.
Look, this is something the kids are going to remember their whole lives.
And we will, too.
I want to do it.
Really? Hey, you only get married twice, right? Book it.
You know I love you.
What? We lost the venue? Well, Chase said yes, so I called back again and it was too late.
The couple with cold feet warmed up again.
Ugh! I hate those two.
It's probably a blessing in disguise.
It was so much money, Rox.
- Okay, so what now? - Back to the courthouse.
Uh-uh.
No way.
Every other place is booked.
- We'll have it here.
- What? We'll close the place down, it'll be so great.
We'll do tablecloths, flowers, a little mood lighting.
Do not make me play the Katie card.
Think of your poor, little disappointed daughter, disgraced in front of all of her friends Okay, okay.
Stop.
Katie will be really happy.
- Thanks, Rox.
- Are you kidding? I don't know why I didn't think of having it here in the first place.
Okay, I do, but it'll be really great.
- Okay.
I'll let everyone know.
- Okay.
- See you.
- Bye.
- Trailer boy's dinner.
- Got it.
Hey, boss.
Time for my shift.
Right.
Morning.
Kitchen's closed.
We're having a wedding and you are not invited.
All right.
Karen, why aren't the tablecloths down? You told me to set up the chairs.
After the tablecloths.
Sorry.
Okay, the wedding is off.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What happened? I have no dress.
What do you mean you have no dress? Well, not in South Carolina, anyway.
Why not? Where is it? The shop made a mistake.
They shipped my dress to Charleston, West Virginia.
What? So I'm done.
- No, you're not - Roxy We can deal with this.
Yeah? How? I don't know.
Give me a minute.
I came as soon as I could.
How's it going? We think the top part of this one might work, but we need something less fitted on the bottom.
Okay.
Are you thinking A-line or ball skirt? - Ball? - Yeah? Guys, I appreciate your help, but I'm never going to fit in your clothes.
What about this one? - Ooh, pretty.
Pamela, come here.
- Yeah.
- What do you think? - Yeah, that could work.
Can we take these off? Yeah.
Piece of cake.
You are insane! You are not cutting up these beautiful dresses! You're right.
We're going to gently rip out the seams.
I'm going to get my tape measure and some pins.
I'm sorry I can't stay.
I have an appointment.
But take whatever you need.
I will see you at the wedding.
Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
All right, Pamela, take your clothes off.
- What? I'm - Moran, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Claudia Joy.
- Hi, Dr.
Robbins.
I appreciate your seeing me on the weekend.
Not a problem.
I was on call, anyway.
So, what brings you in today? I saw you, what, six months ago? I've been having this pain on my right side.
Where exactly? In here.
Is it a sharp pain? Constant? It's sharp, but, no, not all the time.
Well, why don't you lie back and let's take a look? Hello? Hey.
I got an update for you on Specialist Cabrera.
Oh, did you reach him? Can we get him an emergency leave? Not that easy.
His unit's at a remote outpost.
Talked to his chain of command.
They should be getting word to him today.
Good.
Michael, I am so worried.
The judge denied a stay.
We've got a week, and I promised this woman the Army would not let her get deported.
Doing our best.
I don't want this happening any more than you do, believe me.
I got to cut this short.
You okay otherwise? Yeah.
Of course.
Just late getting ready for Pamela's wedding.
That's right! Hey, give them my best, will you? I will.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Bye.
You ready? - Almost.
Wow.
Yeah? Oh, yeah.
- Can you help? I can't get the clasp.
- Yeah.
Done.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Somebody is going to want this back.
This is going to sound funny, but I miss the baby.
I do, too.
- Roland? - Hmm? - I've been thinking - Mmm-hmm? Maybe we shouldn't wait.
Haven't we had this conversation before? Look, I know what I said about it not being the right time and all, but with my career, there's never going to be a "right time.
" You're preaching to the choir, woman.
We both want to have another child.
And the way Sara Elizabeth took to Molly - That was something, wasn't it? - Mmm-hmm.
Of course, it would mean more "Mr.
Mom" work for you.
Hey, I've never been afraid of a little hard work.
And a real roll of the dice career-wise for me.
I like your odds, Colonel.
So do I.
No, don't worry about it.
Okay.
Thanks anyway.
- That was the minister.
- Is he on his way? The bridge is closed because of the storm.
- Oh, no.
- He can't make it.
- It's unbelievable.
- I swear, Pamela's head's going to explode when I tell her.
Excuse me, but maybe I could help.
Yeah? How? I'd be happy to officiate.
- What, you're a minister? - Yes, sir.
A real minister? Ordained on the Internet so I could perform my sister's service.
Welcome aboard, padre.
I'll go brush up.
Uh What do you say we keep this between us for now? - Good idea.
- Yeah.
What did I tell you? Everything's turning out perfectly.
You have a strange definition of the word "perfect.
" Somebody order a wedding dress? Oh, let's see it.
Should we ask how it went? I'm not going to win Project Runway any time soon, but I got to admit, it's pretty amazing.
Oh, I knew it! See? Perfect.
Much better than any Vera Wang knockoff.
Pamela Moran, do not start crying.
I spent 20 minutes on those eyes.
Thank you, guys.
- Come on, let's do this! - Yes! Stop crying.
You have got to be kidding me! Whit! Open up! Some storm, huh? Power went out.
Yeah, I know.
You got a generator? Yep.
Well, will you get it? - Now? - Yeah, now! We got a wedding! All right.
- What's going on? - The darn thing wouldn't start.
I guess the gas had been in there a while, gummed up the fuel line, so I had to clean out the valve.
Well, is it working now? Yeah.
Purring like a kitten.
Okay.
Plug it in.
All right.
Yeah.
Best wedding ever? Well, hardest to forget, anyway.
Shall we? We shall.
Guess I'll be going.
Oh! For Pete's sake, just sit down.
The minister got stuck.
- Yeah, but - Completely legal.
I'm thinking we do the short version.
Absolutely.
Friends, the Bible tells us that love always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Today, we gather here to honor a family that proves those words are true.
Pamela Cathleen Moran, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward as long as you both shall live? I do.
Chase Roderick Moran, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live? I do.
May I have the rings? These rings are an outward symbol of an inward bond.
Please place the ring on her finger and repeat after me.
"With this ring, I thee wed.
" With this ring, I thee wed.
Pamela.
With this ring, I thee wed.
By the grace of all that is holy and the power vested in me by universal-marriage-license-dot-com, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
You may kiss the bride.
Um Listen, you all know that I'm not one to give speeches.
Except at home.
Right.
Well, first we want to thank our kids.
Lucas, you are the best best man ever.
And Katie, you are the most beautiful maid of honor.
This was all really Katie's idea.
Even though you wouldn't listen to her at first.
May I make my speech, please? Sorry.
Uh I literally forgot what I was going to say.
Here.
Let me.
Uh A big thanks to Roxy and her staff for making this happen.
Mostly, we just want to thank you all for being here.
And for sticking with us while we found our way back to each other.
I guess, the most important thing that I've learned in the last year is that there is nothing more important than family.
And we are never gonna be apart again.
Right now, I feel like the luckiest guy on the face of the earth.
How about it, Rox? Want to dance? Uh, no.
Come on, I remember how much you like to two-step.
Okay.
Just one dance.
You got it.
But remember, I lead.
- You okay? - Fine.
Yeah.
Why? You've just been quiet tonight.
I'm tired.
Big case at work.
Okay.
Oh, all this happiness makes me think of Jeremy and Tanya.
I know.
May I have the honor of escorting one of you fine ladies around the floor? - Claudia Joy? - No, you go.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I would be honored, sir.
We've been through all the precedents, Claudia Joy.
I don't think they're going to help.
What's wrong? I was having some pain and I went to my doctor.
She found a mass.
