Previously on "Army wives"... (betty) the bar is Half yours now.

As betty's Only living relative,

I inherited Her half of this place. Why don't I buy you out?

I'm gonna pass.

Denise, you can't just go Changin' the terms on me

All of a sudden. Terms? These aren't terms, frank.

A marriage is more than that. It is an organic thing.

You know, It's supposed to change

When the people in it change. Well, I haven't changed!

Oh, I know.

Oh, my god, mac. Look at you!

Well, if your wife wants out, There's not a whole lot

You can do about it. The quicker you get over it,

The better off You're gonna be. You don't know a damn thing About my wife and me.

What was that?

Well, if you don't know, I must be doing it wrong.

I just wanted to thank you For everything you did for mac.

I've known him Nearly all my life.

What is it that you want From me, lee anne?

I am going to win him back.

It's logan. Logan.

Your father's gotten A very prestigious position

With n.A.T.O.

There is one thing.

N.A.T.O. Is in brussels.

Emmalin? Oh, my god.

My daughter emmalin holden--

16, about 5'8", brown hair.

Check with post security, All gates.

Contact me With anything you got.

She was ready to go. She was-- She was happy about brussels.

She told me she was. You know emmalin. She's not Gonna do anything crazy.

Exactly when did you Last see her?

An hour, An hour and a half ago.

Well, you said her boyfriend's On post, right? Oh, that's probably All it is.

She went to say good-bye And just lost track of time. She took her suitcase.

Sir. Yeah.

P.F.C. Atwater was granted A 3-day pass yesterday.

Corporal leblanc just spoke With his barracks mate.

Atwater borrowed a van To go up to dillon, sir. Dillon?

Yes, sir. It's a small town up north.

A lot of soldiers go up there To get married, sir. I'm aware of that, corporal.

Yes, sir. We're going to dillon. I'll have My cell phone if you need me.

Excuse me. General holden.

Yeah. I know p.F.C. Atwater. With all due respect,

The two of us could cover Dillon a lot faster-- Get your car.

Yes, sir.

Give me my fries.

Oh, these fries? Yeah, those fries.

You want 'em? Come get 'em. (chuckles)

You know... Yeah?

That was the last meal

We will ever have As single people.

Really? Corn dogs and french fries?

That's... That's very romantic.

Mm, it is.

We could Make it a tradition.

(clears throat) A tradition?

Every anniversary.

You know what? You are crazy.

Well, you're marrying me. So what does that make you?

That makes me even crazier.

Which means Once we're married,

Your fries are my fries. Oh, these fries?

Yes, those fries. These are mine, actually. So no, you can't have them.

Oh, really? They're yours now? Is that right?

Leblanc? What are you doing here?

We need to talk. How did-- How did you get in here?

I told the manager I'm here on army business.

Yeah, well, this is Personal business, leblanc.

So why don't you just Get the hell out of here?

That's corporal leblanc, Private, and the problem is,

This is also general holden's Personal business.

No, it's not. I am 16! I can do what I want.

Just because Her dad's a general

Doesn't change how we feel About each other, all right?

And we're not doing Anything wrong. Oh, yeah, you are. At 16, She needs parental consent.

What do you think's gonna happen If you manage

To go through with this thing? We're gonna be together. That's what's gonna happen.

So just leave us alone. You're gonna set up house Back at fort marshall?

Drop the wife off At high school every morning?

Weekend family dinners At the in-laws

With brigadier general holden? Logan.

And what a great start to The honeymoon, being a.W.O.L. Wait a minute. I-I have a 3-day pass, right?

I'm all squared away.

Unless your pass Gets misplaced. Whoops.

Now you're facing An article 15--

Post restriction, extra duty, Loss of pay.

Em-- No. Hey, he is just Trying to scare us.

You should be scared, Atwater.

Running off with the general's 16-year-old daughter?

You're gonna be a marked man. Every officer's gonna be waiting

For you to step out of line, And when you do... (whimpering)

(snaps fingers) Dishonorable discharge. Say Good-bye to your college money.

Say good-bye to decent work.

A dishonorable Follows you everywhere. Shut--don't listen to him!

You do what you want.

But I know I wouldn't Want to be in your shoes

When the general shows up.

Oh, yeah. He's here In dillon... Right now.

No, logan. Logan.

(crying) We love each other.

Return to post. Admit your mistake.

I'm sure the army Will look a lot kinder

On what's gone down here. Logan. Logan, this is not A mistake! Okay?

We love each other, And--and we planned this.

(whispering) I know. I know. Em...

(crying) please.

I can't. I can't. I can't. I'm sorry, em.

What are you doing?

Logan!

Sir, I've got her.

***

You're being unreasonable, Michael.

There's nothing in the house. We can't stay there. We'll manage.

We can stay At visitors' quarters.

No. I want this contained.

It's one night.

We'll make do.

(claudia joy) Did I leave lights on?

(denise) over here.

Oh, you guys.

I don't believe this.

(door slams)

Trevor called.

Yeah, it's not much, but...

There's some food in the fridge, Breakfast stuff. We just grabbed What we could.

Everybody, I... I think we should go.

I can't believe You did all this.

Yes, thank you, All of you. Thank you. Thanks.

Good night.

Mm. Night. Good night.

Michael?

Emmalin, Unlock this door right now!

Oh, god. Right now!

What you did tonight Was inexcusable.

It was...

What you put Your mother through...

You are gonna stay In this room until we leave

For brussels tomorrow. You understand me?

I am not going, And you can't make me.

Lock this door again, And I will kick it down.

Michael--

She's going. End of story.

(laughing and yelling)

Okay, start wrappin' it up. Time for school!

(t.J.) shotgun! (finn) shotgun! I said it first.

No, you didn't. Did, too! Mom?

Katie, You get to ride shotgun. Yeah!

That is so unfair. Come on.

The shotgun wars.

Right up there With toothbrush wars

And who-gets-what-color- Vitamin wars.

But I guess the upside is, 6-year-old problems

Are a whole lot easier To solve than teenager problems.

Seriously. Emmalin's Starting to remind me

Of me at that age, And that ain't good.

Yeah.

Hey, what's up with collin And the restaurant now?

He still wants to buy me out.

(scoffs) that guy Sounds like a creep.

Oh, he is.

I can't believe He's betty's nephew.

You know, it's funny That she never mentioned him

Before she died.

Well, every family Has its black sheep.

Yeah. I suppose.

All I know is I'm not selling Him my half of the bar.

That's for damn sure. Well, 30 grand is A lot of dough.

"A," collin could sell it For three times that much.

And "B," I don't trust that skunk

Farther than I can throw him, And "C," it's my friggin' bar.

So he can stick his offer Where the sun don't shine.

Okay, got it. (chuckles) Here.

I'm gonna have a lawyer check Out the deed that betty gave me

And make sure it's legit. Well, don't faint When you get that bill.

I know. Trevor's gonna kill me.

(sighs) All right. Seat belts.

(engine turns over)

The light is on. What light?

The red one.

It's usually red, Isn't it?

No, it's never red. What does it mean?

It means we are gonna be late If we don't burn rubber.

Don't take your eyes Off her for a second.

Michael--

I mean it. Our flight Is confirmed for tonight.

Wheels up at 2130.

I know. We're gonna be on it, Claudia joy--all of us.

(door opens)

You should come downstairs, Eat something.

Not hungry.

Emmalin, I know you're angry.

But you have to understand, We're angry, too.

We're very angry.

You lied to us--

Not once, not twice, But over and over for days...

After we trusted you.

We allowed you To keep seeing logan.

I'm looking at you,

And I'm trying To recognize you, and I can't.

What happened to the daughter I thought I was raising--

The one with good judgment, Good values?

Please help me understand.

Sweetheart?

I'm not going to brussels.

(helicopter blades whirring)

(indistinct conversations)

(man) better check your gear.

(man) yeah, I got it.

(man) all right. All set? Jeremy.

My unit's About to move out, sir.

I know what you think You saw back there,

But that's not what happened. Yes, sir.

Look, drop the "Sir," okay?

This isn't soldier-to-soldier. This is man-to-man now. She spend the night with you?

Yes, she did, But nothing happened. (scoffs) right.

Do you want the truth,

Or do you want to hold on To that attitude?

Now major davis and I Are colleagues.

I've been going through Some personal stuff, jeremy,

And I shared some of that With her,

And it was inappropriate.

Ah. I can't-- I can't do this. I'm sorry. Frank, There's nothing wrong.

No, there-- There is something wrong.

Separated or not...

I mean, separated or not, It's wrong.

We ended up spending The whole night just talking.

Only talking. That's all there was to it.

Now I've never lied to you, Jeremy.

And I'm not about To start now.

So what "Stuff" Have you been going through?

(sighs) yeah, I suppose I owe you that.

Your mother and I Are separated.

What? Look, it's not official,

Not with lawyers And all that crapola.

We just didn't feel It was fair to you

To tell you just before You shipped out. Why? What happened?

Honestly, I don't know How to answer that question.

I really don't.

(sighs)

Mom wanted this?

(man) saddle up! Comms check's in one minute!

I'm on patrol. You're better off not thinking About things like this out here.

Not on a mission. Hoo-ah? Hoo-ah.

All right. You just worry About yourself, son. All right? Yes, sir.

Get going.

She won't talk, Won't come out of her room,

Just refuses to budge.

Maybe michael will consider Postponing the trip

A few more days Just to let tempers cool?

Denise, in all our years Of marriage,

I've never seen him This angry... Or determined.

Mm. Well, what about roland?

He's got a good relationship With emmalin, right?

Maybe he could talk to her. (cell phone ringing)

Hospital. (beeps)

Denise sherwood.

Uh, I'm not On call today, and...

Oh, I see.

Okay.

No, I'm calling roland. I am. Go. I'll be fine.

Okay. Mwah.

We'll talk later. Okay.

(woman) nurse sherwood, Sit down, please.

What's going on?

It's about your behavior Regarding a certain patient--

Corporal riley mccadden.

We have reports From hospital employees

Suggesting you're involved In an intimate relationship

With corporal mccadden.

Is it true?

Are you involved With this patient?

Yes.

When you were hired at mercer,

You signed A code of conduct agreement

Which holds civilian employees

To the same standards As military personnel.

Is this your signature?

Yes.

Then you acknowledge Your actions

Are grounds for termination.

You're firing me?

No, nurse sherwood. You fired yourself.

You will be escorted To your locker,

Where you are to clear out Your things at once.

Understood? Dismissed.

One more thing.

Your husband and I Served together in kosovo.

He's an exemplary soldier, And I find your behavior

While he's risking his life For this country deplorable.

You open?

Couple of hours.

Oh. Uh, we do make exceptions For good-looking redheads.

Nice. How about a drink?

What's your pleasure?

Surprise me.

I'm gonna make you The house special.

I'm collin, by the way.

I know. Pamela. I'm a friend of roxy's.

(chuckles) let me guess.

Roxy sent you over here To plead her case.

Nope. I'm here on my own.

But I am curious. You seem like a nice guy.

Why be so hard on her?

Hard? (chuckles) I made her a generous offer.

$30,000? Get serious.

(sighs) It's actually $20,000 now.

What?

I've been taking A closer look at the books.

Your friend really overspent Trying to build this place up.

It's bleeding cash. Look, roxy doesn't Want to sell.

This place means Everything to her. What can I do? I mean, this is My late aunt betty's place.

I have an obligation to see That it's managed correctly.

Oh, please. Betty loved roxy Like a daughter,

And we never even Heard her mention you.

She'd be rolling over In her grave if she knew

You were planning To throw roxy out. Sorry you feel that way.

No, you're not. Betty wanted Roxy to run this place

As long as she felt like it. Well, I guess she bet On the wrong horse then,

Didn't she?

And by the way...

Betty's dead.

Enjoy that drink.

(cell phone rings)

(ring)

(beep)

Hello?

(jeremy) mom?

Jeremy. Are you okay?

Dad told me that...

He told me you're separated.

Well, we didn't want to tell you While you were deployed, and...

Did something happen?

It's complicated.

(voice breaking) So that's it?

You and dad are through?

I don't know.

Just know that Whatever happens,

We are fine,

And we'll always be here For you.

I gotta go, mom.

I love you.

I love you, too.

(exhales deeply)

She wouldn't talk to me.

At all? Nothing?

Only that she's Not going to brussels.

Claudia joy, this situation...

It's potentially serious.

Emmalin ran off to marry A guy she barely knows.

I get that it's serious, Roland.

No, that's--that's not What I'm talkin' about.

Did emmalin ever really Grieve for her sister? Of course.

No, what I mean is,

Did she talk about it Within the family?

Did she talk to you?

Yeah.

Did we talk enough? Did we talk too much?

I don't know. I-I know that I think about it all the time.

I know my door Was always open--

I'm not judging, claudia joy.

I can't imagine the depths Of your suffering...

And emmalin, too.

I...

I-I thought She was doing okay.

I know.

I know.

Emmalin's done a good job Covering up her feelings,

Possibly too good a job.

Unresolved grief is cumulative. It builds up.

You put a lid on it, sooner Or later, it's gonna blow.

Running off to marry That soldier--

She was just trying to get Some control

Back over her life.

She wanted to write A happy ending

To a very sad story.

Nobody knows your daughter Better than you, claudia joy.

Hmm.

Trust that.

(sniffles)

(whispers) yeah. Mm.

(normal voice) Thanks, roland.

Yeah.

(exhales) okay.

Hmm. How's, uh, how's that Little goddaughter of mine?

Oh, she pees, She poops, she eats.

Mm. She's good.

I remember. (cell phone rings)

Oh. It's pamela. (ring)

(beep) Hey, pamela.

What?

No, I hadn't heard.

Uh, sure. I can meet you Over there in, say 15 minutes.

Right.

(beep) What is it?

Denise.

(engine knocking)

(engine clanks And turns off)

You really should Get that looked at.

Ya think?

I've been a little busy, guys. Why don't you give it a rest?

Hey. What's going on? What are you guys doing here?

We didn't know If you'd heard,

But there's a really stupid Rumor going around. We don't believe it For a minute.

A rumor? Yeah, it's really stupid.

(roland) people are saying You got fired from mercer. For having sex with a patient.

You need to attack This thing head-on, denise. Damn straight. Best defense Is a kick-ass offense.

First you gotta find out Who started it. (roxy) yeah, and duct tape Their piehole.

Yeah, and then you Gotta be proactive.

Go to the next f.R.G. Meeting. Remember last year with lenore And claudia joy? Same thing.

Yeah, and that got handled. We gotta do the same thing now. (roxy) mm-hmm.

It's true.

What? I said it's true. I'm late. I can't talk right now.

What the hell just happened?

Hey. There you are.

Hey, denise.

I know lee anne went To see you yesterday,

And I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Is she still here?

Me and her had A long talk and I...

We...

Decided to get back together.

(voice breaking) Look, telling you this...

Believe me, It's like the hardest thing

I've ever had to do In my entire life.

Lee anne was my first love-- Before you, my only love.

Now when I got back From iraq, I...

You know the story.

Look, I don't expect you To understand.

I mean, I-I don't even Understand it myself. I...

Hell, I mean, I'm looking at you, denise,

And I love you.

And I'm standing here,

And I don't know If I'm doing the right thing

Or if I'm making

The biggest mistake Of my life.

Look, I hate how this sounds,

But I will always be grateful For our time together.

There's not a day that's Gonna go by that I won't--

You don't need To say anymore, okay?

You take care Of yourself, okay?

All fixed?

No, roxy. It's not all fixed.

The cylinder head's cracked.

Is that bad?

Yeah. That's bad.

Well, if it's just a crack,

Can't you, like, I don't know, Glue it or somethin'?

No, you can't "Glue it or somethin'."

The engine's shot, babe. How the hell could you

Drive around With the engine light on? Well, it wasn't Really that long.

When the gas light goes on,

You don't have to put gas In the tank that minute.

You know, There's a grace period. A new engine's Gonna cost 1,500 bucks,

And that's money We don't have right now, babe.

(clears throat)

Is this gonna be Something I want to hear?

Because if it's more About major sherwood's wife,

You've already Told me everything--

No, it's not about that. I talked to a lawyer today.

A lawyer? What for?

You know--collin, the bar.

This guy says that The deed's a little sketchy,

But if collin were To take us to court,

That we'd probably win.

So all we need right now is A little, itty-bitty retainer.

And how much is a "Little, Itty-bitty retainer"?

It's $2,000.

(laughs)

That's it. It's time to cut our losses.

You go back there, You take collin's 30 grand,

And you walk away. No!

(groans) Why should I walk away When I'm the one

Who worked my butt off In the first place?

And by the way, The offer's $20,000 now.

(exhales)

This is the last credit card We got,

And a rebuilt engine should Just about max that out.

After that, we got nada.

You understand?

That's no wiggle room, Rox, at all.

(shelby lynne's "If I were smart" playing)

(sighs)

Yeah. I need you to push something Through for me.

(claudia joy) Michael, we need to talk.

If this involves Anything other than us

Getting on a plane tonight, I don't want to hear about it.

You can't just dig in like this. You can't shut me out. Claudia joy, you have no idea

The hoops I had to jump through Today because of that girl. Yes, I do.

You do? I do, and I have a proposal.

What is that? I stay here with emmalin.

(chuckles) no. Just so she can finish The school year in charleston.

Are you out of your mind? Absolutely not! Michael, michael, Hear me out, please.

I've heard all I need to hear. The answer is no.

We are going To brussels together.

Why are you Fighting me on this? Keep your voice down!

My voice is fine Just as it is.

Emmalin is in A really bad place right now.

She needs stability. What she needs is to do Exactly what we say.

This discussion is over. And what exactly Do you intend to do

When the driver comes tonight, Drag her out by her hair? If I have to, yes.

Perfect. And if she runs away In brussels, then what?

Emmalin is not Gonna be rewarded

For holding This family hostage! I'm not talking About a reward.

I'm talking about What makes sense. And what makes sense

Is to remember What we always said--

That we would never, No matter what,

Break this family up. Things have changed, Michael.

Being apart Might be the only way

To keep the family together.

What's happened here Is my fault.

What are you talking about?

After amanda, you know,

I thought I'd try and soften My approach with emmalin,

Give her more freedom, More... Space.

I went against my instincts, And now we're all paying for it.

But I am not gonna make The same mistake twice.

Where are you going?

I'm going out, And when I come back,

I expect everybody To be ready to go.

Our source says the target Is on the move.

We believe he's holed up Here, outside balad. How confident are we In the source, sir?

Not what we'd like. Marginally actionable,

But the target Is top priority. Gonna be hard to get at him In that location.

High risk, high reward. What if we came in From the north?

That leaves the target An escape route. No, we insert a blocking force Behind the compound

While the task force Implements the assault.

Hammer and anvil. Yes, sir.

Hmm. Permission to lead The task force, sir?

Granted. But watch yourself, frank.

If things go south, Extraction could be a problem.

In that terrain, You could be cut off. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.

Dismissed.

Maybe we can Still work this out.

I'll manage the restaurant side. You manage the bar side.

I don't think so. Why? That's what you said At first,

That we'd run it together.

Yeah, and you said no. So that offer's off the table. Why?

Because I don't want you As a partner.

Now are we gonna settle, or do You want to just drag this out?

Fine. Just give me the damn 20 thou. I'm done with this.

It's 15 now.

Gonna cost you more to fight In court. Take it or leave it.

(scoffs) you really are A son of a bitch, aren't you?

I'll take that as a yes.

You know what, though? You Really should be thanking me.
