7th Heaven s02e01 Episode Script

Reverend? - How are you? Come in, come in.
Oh, thank you.
I didn't see your car out front.
Oh, it's in the shop.
My son dropped me off.
Uh, please.
How can I help you, Nora? My wedding anniversary is coming up.
Mine too.
Yeah, this Saturday.
Annie and I have been married 19 years.
That's nice.
We would've been married 25 years.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
I I did I completely forgot.
Forgive me.
It's okay.
It's been three years since James was murdered.
The boy who killed my husband is in a juvenile detention facility.
He's a juvenile, and he plead guilty, so I never got to see him in court.
I want to see him.
I want to talk with him.
I I've written him a letter every week for three years now.
He's never responded, and he doesn't wanna see me.
Okay, so? I've tried everyone, from his social worker all the way up to the governor, and And no one can convince him.
- And do you think I can? I don't know.
But I don't know where else to turn.
What's his name? I've written it all down for you.
- I'll do my best.
- Thank you, Reverend.
I'll be in touch.
Oh, Reverend? I hope you and your wife have a very nice anniversary.
Thank you.
I really mean that.
Upstairs.
Hello.
Hey, I'm glad you're home.
Don't go anywhere.
- Hmm.
- What's up? I'm not sure.
That was your dad.
- What'd he say? - He told me not to go anywhere.
Hmm.
Here, put these away and then go down to the kitchen.
- Something's up with Dad.
- What? I don't know, but he's on his way home right now.
Hurry.
- Get off.
- Um, could you hold on one second? Get out.
I'm talking to Heather's mom.
Dad's on his way home, and something's up, something big.
Um, okay, so just, uh, tell Heather I'll see her around 7.
What's going on? I don't know, something big.
Annie! Oh, good.
Will you marry me? I don't know how to put together a wedding over a couple of days.
We spent months planning the first one.
Yeah, and the first one fell apart.
Hey, don't worry.
I'm gonna take care of it all.
I'll call and invite anybody you want, and I'll get flowers from the church florist, and I'll get a cake, and, hey, I got the church.
All you have to do is be there.
Mm.
And get dresses for the girls.
They can wear whatever they wore at the last wedding they were in.
Okay.
Oh, and tuxes for the boys.
I've given Ted Shields so much business, I'm sure he'll let us have them for nothing.
And, hey, you can wear that kind of hippie-dippy wedding dress you wore the first time.
- I love that dress.
- Well, I still have it.
But I doubt that I can still get in it.
Sure you can.
What? I wanted to wear my mother's wedding dress the first time we got married.
Oh, right, and my mom wanted you to wear her dress.
That was round one of the Camdens vs.
the Jacksons.
You think your dad still has your mom's dress? Well, it might still be in his attic, but, ah, he's leaving tomorrow.
He won't have the time.
Besides, that "hippie-dippy" dress will do.
Hey, Mom? - Mom? - Can't you see she's busy? What is it, Simon? I was just wondering, with this whole wedding thing and all, you still gonna have time to finish the attic? Would it hurt if you moved into your new bedroom a week later? Dad, school starts next week.
Junior high.
I can't go to junior high and still be sharing the same room with my little sister.
Word would get around.
It's okay, Simon.
I assure you, I will finish on schedule.
I don't know, Mom.
I'm afraid either my room or your wedding will suffer.
Mm.
I need to talk to Mom and Dad alone, please.
What do you think I was doing? Please, tell me the wait is almost over.
Go.
I just want you to know, I may not make it to the wedding.
- Oh.
- Why not? Because no one else wants to go, so I may not have a ride.
Why don't your brothers and sisters wanna go? Because it's the last weekend of the summer, and they've kind of got a lot of stuff to do.
Besides, you're already married.
Well, I hope they'll all change their minds, because since none of you were there for the first wedding, we'd really like you to be there for this one.
- So we have to go? - Yes, you all have to go.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
Are we just being crazy here? Are we just doing this because Nora stopped in to see you today? Yes, we're crazy.
And yes, I decided to do this after seeing Nora.
It was kind of a reminder that life is short and we shouldn't put things off we've always wanted to do.
Do you think you can get in to see that kid who killed her husband? Please, me? I can do anything.
Found out from his social worker that the thing he misses most from the outside is a real fast-food burger, fries and shake, so He might not see Nora for that, but I have a feeling he'll give me a shot.
You have no qualms about bribing him? The kid killed someone, it's not like I'm gonna corrupt him.
Okay, it's a small sin for a good cause.
Thanks.
Um, you know I wanna be with you every minute before you leave for school on Sunday.
Well, my parents have kind of screwed that up for us.
You see, they've decided to get, um, married this weekend.
They're not married? Oh, no, no, no, they're They're married.
They, uh They're getting married again.
See, uh, they never got to have a big wedding, so they're gonna have one on their anniversary this Saturday and I've gotta be the best man.
So our last date together before I leave will be a wedding? - Cool.
- If you say so.
- So, what do you wanna do tonight? - Stare at your face.
You wanna tell me why you're in such a bad mood? I'm not in a bad mood.
Look, I know what's bothering you, so why can't we just talk about it? You don't know anything.
I gotta go inside.
You know, if you won't talk to me, you need to talk to somebody.
You've gotta stop acting so mature.
Don't I get a kiss? Good night.
Careful.
Good night.
I'm not home right now.
You can leave a message or try me at Ashley's.
Excuse me, I'm sleeping here.
It's 10:00.
You're not sleeping.
You're crying.
All you've done all summer long is cry.
So? I haven't had anything else to do.
Not one single guy has called me since I broke up with Jimmy.
And why are you in such a bad mood anyway? I'm not.
It's just that Jimmy broke up with you three months ago, so get over it.
I can't get over it.
And once school starts, it's gonna be even worse because I'm gonna have to see him and Ashley together.
It's gonna be a nightmare.
It'll only be a nightmare because you're making it a nightmare.
Things like this happen.
That is what life is all about, disappointment and failure, so get used to it.
And you're not in a bad mood? You know, I think I'm gonna put the bed over here once we take down the bunk beds.
- Fine.
I want the top bunk.
Guys, come on.
It's time for you two to go to bed.
It's late.
Yeah, that's one of the advantages of getting this place.
I won't have the same bedtime as a 6-year-old.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, Simon, tomorrow I want you to go with Matt to get a tux.
Mom, why do I have to wear a tuxedo? Because I've always dreamed of having a wedding like this, and seeing my two sons waiting for me with my husband at the end of the aisle.
Mom, do you hear how weird that sounds? - Do I get a tuxedo too? Oh.
Ha-ha.
No, honey, I'm going to make you a beautiful dress, and you can be the flower girl and throw rose petals down the aisle.
Why can't I throw flowers in a tuxedo? Well, I'll think about it.
Off to bed.
What does a tuxedo look like anyway? Grandpa? It's Eric.
Eric Camden.
Your son-in-law.
Did I wake you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Well, I tried to call you earlier, but then I thought you might be at Ginger's, and I didn't wanna leave a message because I'm trying to surprise Annie.
Yes, that Eric.
Hold on a sec.
Yeah.
Who's that you're talking to? I just wanna get started on some of the wedding plans.
- Well, isn't it a little late? - Well, yeah, but I wanna stay on top of things.
- Hey, Annie? Honey? - Yeah? You know you put two paintbrushes in the freezer? You can freeze brushes instead of cleaning them when you're gonna be painting again the next day.
It's an old painter's trick.
Grandpa, you still there? I don't want you to go back to school.
- Hi.
- Hey, Luce.
What's up? Nothing.
Just this stupid wedding.
What are you doing here? Well, I thought we were going to the pool to work out the knee a little.
- What wedding? - It's nothing.
My parents are getting married again.
It's their anniversary or something this Saturday.
I didn't say I was going to the pool.
You know, school is starting next week, and you made it your goal to be off crutches by then.
I didn't.
- Yeah, so what? - So I think you're ready.
- You can do it.
- You don't know that.
You don't know anything, and you don't know how I feel.
So tell me how you feel.
I'm right here, I'm listening.
Can we please talk about something else? Okay.
Uh, tell me about this wedding.
Am I invited? You can come if you want.
Yeah, I wanna come, but I wanna be invited.
- You don't want me to go? - I don't even wanna go, and I'm in it.
Tell you what.
You seem like you need a little space, so I think I'm gonna spend the day with Billy.
- You still wanna go out tonight? - Not really.
You know, I say we leave her here, have Dad pick her up later.
He can't.
He's on his way to see that murderer.
Hey, Ruthie.
- Hurry up, we don't have all day.
- So where's Heather? Oh, uh, a friend of hers from school's staying at her house.
- They're riding back together.
- A guy friend or a girl friend? - What difference does it make? - It's a guy, huh? - Yeah.
- So, what's the story? You know, I just assumed it was a girl friend, that's all.
- Oh, yeah.
He kind of took me by surprise.
You know, he's from Canada, so he drove down.
He's staying with Heather and her mom until they take off for school.
I hate to say it, but this is trouble.
You know that, don't you? Oh, Ruthie, that is stunning.
Much better than the gold one.
Oh, yeah, yeah, stunning.
Can we go already? What do you think? Oh, it's, uh It's great.
I think this one's it.
How about something in white? White.
Uh You know, the only thing that's keeping me sane here is that I'm getting my own room.
Ruthie, can I come in? May I.
May I.
Okay.
This isn't about the tux, is it? Why are you taking so long? - Because.
- Because why? Because Simon's moving out because he doesn't like me, and I'll never see him anymore either.
Hey, Curly, just because Simon's moving out, doesn't mean he doesn't like you.
It just means he's growing up and he wants to be on his own.
I have a room of my own.
Yeah, well, since you're alone and I'm going to be alone, maybe we could move in together.
Come on, give it a shot.
You might like a room by yourself.
No, I won't.
I love living with Simon.
Okay, I'll make you a deal.
If you take any of the tuxes you've tried on and we can leave now, I'll fix it so Simon doesn't leave.
At least, not in the near future.
- How? - Don't worry.
I know how to get to him.
- Mom, do you have a second? - Yeah, I might have a couple.
Okay, here it goes.
I know how important this wedding is to you and Dad.
But to me, it's the universe's way of pointing a big fat finger and saying: "Lucy Camden, you're alone and have no one.
" Honey, tell me why the universe can't be pointing a finger at you, saying: "Lucy Camden, someday you're gonna fall in love with a wonderful man and have a wedding all your own.
" I'm thinking about calling Jimmy and asking him to come to the wedding.
For old times' sake.
You know, like friends.
Is that what you really want? Just to be Jimmy's friend? It's better than nothing.
If you need me, Reverend, nothing would give me more pleasure than dragging this guy out of here for you.
Thanks.
Well, I'm Eric Camden.
Thanks for meeting with me.
- Well, I take it you're Martin.
- You were expecting someone else? I take it you're here to talk to me about my junk mail.
My friend would like to talk to you.
She needs some closure in her life.
I gave her the ultimate closure, man.
I killed her husband.
And I suppose you're gonna try to tell me that doesn't bother you? You don't feel you owe her five minutes of your time? Hey.
I don't owe her or anybody else anything.
I'm paying my debt to society right here.
But, um, maybe I'll, uh, pay her a visit when I get out.
Disappointed? Well, I'm a big disappointment to everyone.
But what can I say? I had a bad life.
I had a bad mother, no father, and only a TV to raise me.
And all I learned from the TV was how to kill people.
I'm sorry you had a bad life.
And I am sorry you had a mother that wasn't good enough for you, and I'm sorry you didn't have a father.
But regardless of what you saw on TV or in the movies, don't you try to tell me that you don't know the difference between right and wrong and life and death, because I know you do.
You never even opened them? - Just the first one.
- And you won't see her? Yeah, fine.
Look, we have to try on these stupid dresses.
- Who you calling? - No one.
No, don't! - Hello.
- Hello, Mary? Jimmy Moon.
Did Lucy just call me? I have call return.
Uh, no, I was calling my boyfriend, Wilson, and I dialled your number by mistake.
- I know it was her.
Is she there? - Do you wanna talk to him? I told you not to pick up.
Yeah, well, you shouldn't have called him and then hung up.
Hello? - Hello.
I know you called.
That boyfriend story Mary made up was lame.
Well, she happens to have a boyfriend.
- Okay, I called.
- What do you want? Um, well, my parents are getting married on their anniversary this Saturday, and I thought that maybe you'd like to come.
You know, since you used to practically be part of the family.
- But I'm with Ashley now.
- Yeah, I know.
So you mean you want both of us to come? Yeah, of course.
That's incredibly mature of you.
Yeah, well, I matured a lot over the summer.
Okay, well, I'll ask Ashley if she wants to go.
Thanks.
- Hmm, hmm.
- What did you just do? I don't know, but it's all your fault and I hate you.
Well, fine, I hate you too, but we still have to try on these dresses.
Hi.
Do you, uh, read lips, Zack? How do you know to? When someone rings the bell? Right.
- Come in.
- Well, I I thought we were going out.
I don't wanna leave Zack alone.
Well, we've got tonight and tomorrow night, and that's it.
I don't wanna be with Zack.
I wanna be with you.
Okay.
All right.
So, what I'm thinking is, I'm gonna hang all my superhero posters all over the walls.
And then I'm gonna string my entire superhero collection of action figures across the ceiling.
What do you think? Good idea.
Superheroes everywhere.
- You'll probably need them.
- What do you mean need? Everybody knows ghosts hang out in the attic, especially in this house.
Why in this house? Because the lady who died and left the house to the church - Yeah? - She died in this attic.
- Where'd you hear that? - Matt told me.
That's why no one ever slept up here before.
These will be just fine once I let them out a little bit here and there.
Besides, you're both so pretty, it doesn't matter what you wear.
Hey, sorry I'm late.
I stopped by the flower shop.
They're gonna deliver Sunday's flowers a day early, plus throw in a bouquet and some rose petals for Ruthie.
Mrs.
Bink can't come.
She's gonna make a gift of the wedding cake.
And the ladies' circle is gonna arrange a potluck dinner.
Is that okay? Oh, it's more than okay.
Oh.
How are you? How was your day? How was your meeting? Uh Didn't go all that well, actually, but, uh, I'm not gonna let this kid get to me.
- I'll tell you about it later.
- Okay.
So, Mary, is Wilson coming to the wedding? No.
He's crazy about her, but what does she care? - Shut up.
Mary.
Why isn't Wilson coming to the wedding? I don't want him there, okay? But yet you forced me into asking Jimmy and Ashley.
- How did she do that? - I didn't.
- If you weren't on those crutches - You'd what? Hey.
What's going on? This is a wedding.
It's supposed to be fun.
Well, I hope you two are having fun, because nobody else is.
Did we fare any better with the tuxedo team? Oh, yes, they are fitted, pressed and quite handsome.
See, it's Matt's new look.
The short hair, much better for a tux.
- I don't know, I liked it better longer.
- Yeah? Do me a favour? - Hmm? - Don't tell him.
Oh, hi, Wilson, come on in.
- Mary? I don't wanna see him.
- Come on in, I'll see what I can do.
- No, I should've called.
I was just on my way home from a friend's house.
She's just in a bad mood.
It's okay, really.
Good night.
I still think I'll see what I can do.
- You've had a hard day, I'll get this.
- What's with those two? They're in a self-pity contest.
And I'm about to declare them both losers.
That's what's going on with them.
- So it's not just the ugly dresses? - No.
You don't know how lucky you are to have a boyfriend.
Yeah, you don't know how lucky you are you can walk.
Uh, sorry about that.
I'll pay for it.
Yes, you will.
Uh, Mary will be right down.
- Don't go anywhere.
- Okay.
Go.
If you don't want Wilson around anymore, then you tell him.
But don't just ignore him or be rude to him when all he's done all summer is try to be supportive and helpful.
It's about time someone said something to her.
It's about time I said something to you too.
You have got to stop feeling so sorry for yourself and start thinking about getting over Jimmy Moon.
How am I supposed to do that when he and Ashley are coming to the wedding? Uninvite them.
Blame it on me.
Hi, I'm not home right now.
You can leave a message or try me at Ashley's.
Um, hi.
It's me, Lucy.
I just wanted to tell you that, actually, I'm not that mature and I changed my mind about you and Ashley coming to the wedding.
So I guess I'm sort of uninviting you.
Unless, of course, you wanna come by yourself.
Listen, I got ten minutes to get home, so I'm gonna make this quick.
I'm crazy about you.
And if I've been too pushy about the sticks, I apologise.
And I wanna go to your parents' wedding with you.
- No, don't.
- Why not? You're crying.
Help me out.
I'm a little lost here.
What is it? Is it the wedding? I'm just tired of using crutches, but I'm afraid if I don't, I might fall.
Yeah, you might.
But if you do, you'll get right back up, and that's the worst that can happen.
You know, you really are no help at all.
Yeah, but I'm trying.
- How's it going? - Eh, not so good.
How about you? - Not so good.
- Heather? - Yeah.
Mary? - Yeah.
- Good night.
- Yeah.
Hey, what's up? Oh, uh, I'm confused about Heather.
You know, uh, I thought we had everything planned, you know? How we'd handle being apart.
She'd come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Then I could fly out for Valentine's weekend, and then she'd come back spring break.
Sounds like there's a lot of holes in that plan.
Like, uh, who are you gonna take to the homecoming game? Or, uh, senior prom? Or graduation? All that great stuff that's reserved for seniors.
Well, I just figured I wouldn't go.
I mean, except for graduation.
I don't have to have a date for that.
What about Heather? She has a friend, Zack, that I didn't even know about, that she does all that stuff with.
Ah.
And Heather having someone to, uh, do things with that she would otherwise miss out on is a problem for you? Well, yeah.
I don't have some girl I'm hanging out with - who's just a friend.
- Well, all I can say is, son, uh, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't let any man in the world change the way I feel about the woman I love.
I wouldn't wanna let someone else have that kind of control over me.
Uh, I think I'm a little too late for that.
Well, think again, will you? Yeah.
It's not so bad.
Just a little bit more light and it'll be fine, huh? Oh.
- Mom, you scared me.
- You scared me.
I heard a noise.
I didn't know you were up here.
- Are you okay, honey? - Yeah, I'm fine.
What are you doing up here so late? Well, I was just checking to see if the ghost of the lady who lived in this house was lurking around.
She died up here, you know.
- Who told you that? - Ruthie.
- And who told Ruthie? - Matt.
Well, Matt's wrong.
The lady who left this house to the church died in Florida.
That's where she moved when she retired.
Look I hate to say it, Simon, but I think maybe your sister and brother have a little conspiracy going to keep you in the room.
You may be ready to leave, but I don't think Ruthie's anxious to have you go.
You're right.
And as her older brother, I'd be willing to stay in the room a little longer.
But to tell you the truth, now that you've done all this work, I feel a little obligated to move in.
Well, don't.
Doing something for your sister out of love is far more important than doing something for me out of guilt.
If you ever wanna take that back, I'll understand.
Hello.
Yeah, this is Reverend Camden.
Oh, right, sure, you're Martin's social worker.
Tomorrow? My wife and I are getting married tomorrow.
Well, it's a long story, but Yeah.
Well, if he's willing to see Nora, I'll be there.
Okay.
Uh-huh.
Great, thanks.
- Yes.
- How are you, Reverend? Sign right here.
You don't know how happy this makes me.
Well, if you're happy, I'm happy.
- Have a nice day.
- You too.
What is this? - Oh.
Uh, it's a wedding present.
I thought the wedding was the present.
You shouldn't have done this, Eric.
I didn't get anything for you.
It's not from me, it's from your dad.
"Annie, I should never have let apologising for everything we did to make you call off the first wedding.
Congratulations on your anniversary.
Love, Dad.
" I'm sorry I let you stay up fixing the other one, but I didn't know if this would come or if it would fit or - I gotta go.
I gotta pick up Nora.
- We won't start without you, okay? No matter if everybody gets tired.
- I'll be there.
- Okay.
I'll wait for you at the altar with the rest of the family.
- I won't be late, I promise.
- Okay.
Oh.
Oh.
- You look beautiful.
- Thanks.
You too.
- It's for your mom and dad.
- Oh.
Thanks.
Oh, um Don't you wanna come to the wedding? Come on, I'd really like you to come.
I have to do my, uh, best-man gig, and you can keep Heather company.
Are you sure? It's our last night together.
Yeah, yeah.
And after the wedding, we can, uh, drop Zack off and we can have some time together alone.
I promise.
Do you have five minutes? Five minutes.
Oh, uh, I actually got that one.
I'm sorry I've been such a jerk.
I just don't wanna lose you.
I was going to wait until after the wedding, but I might as well tell you now.
- Tell me what? - Well, I've decided not to move.
I'm gonna give it another six months, to give you some time to get more used to the idea.
Oh.
So do I still get the top bunk? No.
As long as it's the top bunk, it's all mine.
When is six months gonna be up? - Are you sure you wanna do this? - I have to do this.
Here you go, Reverend.
Good luck, ma'am.
Nora, this is Martin.
Hello, Martin.
Thank you for seeing me.
I was hoping that I could find out something about my husband's death.
How James died.
Maybe why he died.
Look, I had a knife.
The guy got in my way.
He shouldn't have.
I see.
Was he in your way when he was running out of the store? No, he got in between me and the manager guy.
You intended to kill the store manager? I didn't intend to kill nobody, but like I said, your husband got in my way.
His choice.
Well At least I know he was protecting someone when he died.
That's something.
Do you have any idea how you've changed my life? My husband meant everything to me.
Because of him, everything had meaning.
I still have the same job, but now there's no one to buy things for, no one to help pay the rent or save with for holidays or vacations.
There's no one when I come home at night.
There's no one in the morning when I make breakfast.
And it's been like that now for three years.
But now it's time to move on.
But I just couldn't until I saw you.
Thank you.
This has all been very helpful.
And it's somewhat comforting to know that my husband died a hero.
I never knew that.
And just one more thing.
I want you to know, Martin that I forgive you.
Hey.
I didn't ask you to forgive me.
Who needs your forgiveness? You hear me? She didn't forgive you for you, she did it for herself.
Otherwise she'd go on being your victim, and I think she's been your victim long enough.
- Wait.
- I can't.
I'm getting married this afternoon.
Before you go, just tell me one thing, Reverend.
Do you, uh? - Do you think God will forgive me? - You'd better pray he does.
But I gotta tell you I'm not sure I ever will.
I shouldn't have told Jimmy that he couldn't bring Ashley.
Next time I see them, I'm gonna feel really stupid.
Yeah, well, it's too late now, isn't it? Look, Miss Pathetic, you're feeling sorry for yourself.
Doesn't mean you need to take it out on me.
Me? If anyone's feeling sorry for themselves, it's you.
Yeah, well, I think I have good reason to feel sorry for myself.
I just lost the man of my dreams.
Oh, please.
Jimmy Moon is the man of your dreams? What's wrong with Jimmy Moon? He's just as good-looking as Wilson and a lot smarter.
First of all, it's not nice to judge guys by the way they look.
And secondly, if I remember correctly, and I do, I had to tutor Jimmy because he was failing science, so how smart can he be? Smart enough not to become a teen father.
Okay, that does it.
Oh, right, I am really worried.
I could take you in like two seconds.
Oh, yeah? You want a piece of me? Come on, I'm calling your bluff.
- Throw your crutches, Crutches Girl.
- I'm not gonna throw them down.
I can knock the stuffing out of you just like this.
Come on.
Come on, huh? Let go of those things.
You let go.
Let go.
Ow! Let go of me.
Off.
Get off! Ow! Ow! Help.
Hey.
Wait.
- No.
Uh All right, Dad just got here.
Let's go.
Listen, um, go get your rose petals, okay? Okay.
Feel better now? I guess Jimmy decided not to come.
- He has no idea what he lost.
- Thanks.
Are you gonna be okay without the crutches? Yeah, just don't let go of me.
You missed a great chick fight.
Beautiful.
I love you.
