Previously on "Men in Trees" The wedding is off.
Eric, you can't.
It's against your vows.
This is my brother danny.
You're drunk.
Is this an intervention? Maybe we're just too different.
I was falling in love with you.
I got this job offer.
I know.
I took it.
You want me to stay,just say so.
I'm not gonna be the girl that asks you to stay.
chapter seven-- feeling alone.
there will come a time in your life when you feel utterly and completely alone, with no prospects of rescue from the lonelinesS.
hey,this is jack.
Leave a message.
get out of here! help! move it! Get goin'! Go on! Move it!Get out of here! you're okay.
I was so scared.
I'm sorry.
I'm crying.
Oh,I'm sorry.
You're all right.
You're okay.
You're back.
Yeah,I've got some things to take care of-- damsels to rescue.
I'm not a damsel.
Yeah,but you were almost dinner.
I really owe you.
Good,'cause I pitched my tent around back again.
patrick? You got my note.
I'm not changing my mind about canceling the wedding.
Here's the deal.
I'm gonna marry you,annie,and spend the rest of my life with you.
- But the curse- - curse?Bah,humbug.
We can believe in a silly curse,or we can believe in us.
I believe in us.
But what if even more goes wrong? So what if it does? As long as we say "I do" at the end,who cares? I'm scared.
So am I.
That's why you're gonna jump off this rock with me.
What? It's totally safe.
I-I-I promise.
Look,marriage is scary and a leap of faith,right? But if we jump in together,we'll be okay.
So what do you say? Will you marry me on saturday? Oh,patrick.
Yes!***** Good,right? morning.
I'm sorry,sara.
I should go.
they locked us out of the chieftain? What am I gonna do? This is my home.
There's a liquor store right up the street,jerome.
The bum's rush has started already.
They'll be high and dry by the time I get there.
Here's an idea.
Sober up.
I came to the chieftain for the pleasant company until now.
This wasn't jerome's fault.
How was I supposed to know that the liquor board guy was gonna pop in? How could you know anything lately? You've had your head buried in husky butt ever since you bought that stupid hockey team.
Hey,take it easy.
What about patrick and annie's reception? All of their wedding wine is locked up in there.
You really messed up,ben.
Attacking me isn't gonna do anything except make you feel better.
You think this feels good? I think you can't stand it that I have a hockey team that's pulling my attention away from this bar and from you.
Call me when my husband shows back up.
Marin! come on in.
You okay? I got your message.
It's okay.
I'm fine now.
I thought you left town.
I'm back.
I feel awful,marin.
It's not your fault.
Well,I just-- I didn't pick up the phone.
I was there.
I just didn't pick it up,and if I had,I would've-- dudeshe's fine.
You take care,princess.
Cash? Thank you.
are you hurt? I'm a little O.
D.
'D on adrenaline,but on the plus side, it will help me power through my wedding duties.
I should've been here to help you.
No,no "should.
" Besides,you're going very far away for nine months.
Gotta get used to you being gone,right? Yeah,well,I'm not gone yet.
I'm not leaving for three days.
Only 72 hours of slattery left.
It's not good when you can count down the hours.
Hey,come with me to the wedding.
- Spend your last day with me.
- Yeah? okay.
But I don't dance.
Well,you've never danced with me,my friend.
proudly presents sync:ßÇÈâÈâ Trees Season02 Episode06 I am so glad you came! Of course I did.
You know I love a good wedding.
I thought you might not want to run into sam there.
Oh,will he be at the wedding? Okay,maybe I wanna see him a little.
We're not getting together.
Got it.
I am completely and totally over him.
Done.
Finito.
Okay,then.
And I have you,my good friend,as my date for moral support.
What? I invited jack to go to the wedding with me.
We are not getting together.
Got it.
that sounds like a lose-lose situation.
Oh,what a sight I must be.
Long-suffering wife reads a story she knows by heart.
- Jerome.
- Mary alice.
I'm annie's mother.
Oh,I am a great fan of your daughter.
May I read you something? "The greatest hazard of all-- "losing one's self-- " can occur very quietly in the world, "as if it were nothing at all.
No other loss can occur so quietly.
" that is so sad and true kierkegaard.
- And dark.
- Yeah.
could you read me a little more? well,I just can't remember the last time I stayed up all night.
Not even with your husband? Bob? No.
We fought once till 2:00 A.
M.
,But that's about as close as we ever got.
So when do I meet this bob? well,the wedding's at 4:00.
He's supposed to be here at 1:00,but knowing him,he'll probably miss the whole thing.
Well,I would be more than happy to escort you to the festivities, should you be in need of a date.
Oh,jerome.
Where have you been all my life? At the chieftain.
oh,that's the wedding bell.
I gotta get a move on.
Yeah,I gotta head over to the barbershop for a trim.
What time's the shoot? We're shooting someone There is a wedding today,is there not? And they usually take photographs at weddings,don't they? There is,and they do.
And the mother of the groom is usually included in said photos,is she not? She is.
Therefore,it is safe to assume that the boyfriend of the mother of the groom would also be in the photos.
Why would you want to be in the photos? I mean,you have to stand still for so long.
Right? "Turn this way.
Turn that way.
" Reminds me of a perp walk.
Am I right? You don't want me in the wedding photos.
Well,they're photos.
You know,if you're in them today I'm in them forever.
I'm not ready for forever,dick.
Dick,I told you,those are only for nighttime.
I am just making a point.
What is so scary about being attached to me? Because whether you want to admit it or not,you already are, and I enjoy being attached to you.
All right.
You made your point.
Okay,just,uh Chief.
Dick.
hello,dick.
Oh,come on.
You two still aren't speaking? She disrespected me.
She said the wedding was cursed.
Dick.
What do you mean? Daddy isn't here yet? I guess a little bit of a storm is coming in,so his flight's been delayed.
A storm? Holy crap! But--but--but he won't be in any of the photos.
Darling,the show must go on.
You look beautiful.
happy now? Uh,not if you're not.
is that jerome? oh,I like you in a suit.
thanks.
I'm not sure it goes with the,uh,hiking boots.
really? These are my nice ones.
That's one way to get out of dancing.
there she is.
- Oh,danny.
- My lighthouse.
Your what house? I,uh,I thought about you all through rehab.
Helped keep me straight.
Oh,that's sweet.
Here you are at my sister's wedding,all shiny.
- I'm,uh - sober? More or less.
You can be more or less sober? you know,uh,back in queens,I really thought we were headed somewhere.
Oh,you were headed to a-a facility,and I danny,the only thing I'm interested in right now is being single.
I'm sorry.
Oh,please,I get it.
Totally.
excuse me.
Is this seat taken-- - Sam.
- Jane.
How are you? I'm good.
Great.
Good.
Oh,uh,laurie,this is sam.
You're sam.
Th--I mean,this is jane.
This is laurie.
- Good to meet you.
- Likewise.
Oh,wait.
This is the groom's side,isn't it? I should be on the bride's side.
Really? It matters? Uh,annie and I have become close--incredibly close.
I was at her,uh,brother's intervention.
You know all right.
niceo meet you,laurie.
I do.
I wanted us to have a moment alone before all the craziness.
How you doing? Just pretend I'm not here.
Okay.
Okay.
Door.
patrick.
Patrick patrick,I'm so proud of you.
You've grown into a man that any woman would be lucky to marry.
I've been tough on annie,and that's because I love you, but I'vegrown to love her,too.
And I know that she's the one for you.
Don't ever forget that,now matter how angry you might get at her some days.
That's good advice for all of us.
Thanks,ma.
Dick.
Oh,give me a hug.
it's going to rain all over my weddin but,darling,that's good luck.
Yeah,tell that to the guy who has to control the frizz.
excuse me.
I'm looking for someone to walk down the aisle.
Daddy! You made it! A whole 20 minutes before the wedding.
It's practically a record.
Could I see you outside,bob? you almost missed your only daughter's wedding! Don't get all emotional on me,woman.
I'm here.
it's just like our own wedding.
You just left me waiting in that chapel for an hour! I made it,didn't I? Huh? I made it in time to sign up for 36 years of wedded bliss to a crazy woman.
Bliss.
I'm losing myself,bob.
What? It's kierkegaard.
Kirk who? Someone who understands me a lot better than you do.
Oh,come on,old gal.
You can't do better than bob o'donnell,huh? That's not true.
Excuse me? I have been having an emotional affair with a man who who makes me feel special.
I've had an emotional dalliance as well.
You have? With maybe some massage thrown in.
You've been having a real affair? - Do you blame me? - Yes! I have spent 36 years taking care of you and the kids, forgetting every need I ever had.
I can't do that anymore,bob.
I've seen something better.
Annie's starting a new life,and so am I.
I want a divorce! Well,hey,all of this clean air is making you crazy! keep your voice down! I don't want annieo find this out on her special day.
find out what? ********** It's what your mother wants.
What do you want,to stay married and keep having an affair? You cheated on mom? look,marriage is a marathon,honey.
Sometimes a man needs a little break.
Oh,please.
Pumpkin,this is your day.
In a moment,I'll be walking you down that aisle, and you'll forget all about this foolishness.
Let a cheater walk me into my married life? There is no way I am walking down that aisle with you! Where's ben? I don't know.
We had a fight a few days ago and,uh,sort of stopped talking.
I thought we'd work it out,but this morning,he was gone.
I'm sorry.
yeah,I-I don't know what's with him.
He's like a whole different person.
Sam's here with a date.
I slept with eric,and now i don't think he's talking to me.
You slept with the pastor? Isn't that,like,illegal or something? No,just stupid.
we'll be starting in a minute,folks.
all right,let's hear it for the let's hear it for the comedy stylings of pastor eric! Everyone,give it up! Oh,god.
He's drunk.
You know him? I made out with him at his intervention.
How about those two crazy-in-love kids? Let's give it up for them,too! Danny.
Let's go have some coffee.
What? Who do you think you are,huh? Blowing into my life,your skin all--all milky-like, trying to--get off-- trying to make--trying to make flirty with the dan man.
Just take a seat,okay? "Oh,just take a seat,okay?" Who talks like that? This ain't the '30s,sister.
We ain't in black and white.
This this is living color, and,you,my dear,are a red-hot beeyotch.
That's enough of that.
What's the matter,buddy? I was talking about jane's-- you're talking about the woman I love,all right? I'm sorry,laurie.
It's true.
Oh,sam.
I made such a huge mistake,letting you leave.
I've missed you so much.
If you love it so much why don't you marry it-uh? marry me,sam.
You bet.
Oh,my god! Jane hijacked my wedding! Oh,annie! Annie!Annie! jane Hey,where have you been? Damage control.
Could you please find annie's brother dan for me? Why? Uh,long story.
Sorry.
And thanks.
Two minutes! Two minutes! Jerome? What happened to you? A fine lady and a little thing called love.
yes! Uh,he's here,but-- see,your brother danny can walk you down the aisle.
- Look,marin,I don't think- - what's up,sis? You look hot! - he's drunk? - Yeah.
Hold that thought.
I gotta go.
Now what? Uh,I'll do it.
- You will? - Sure.
I'd be honored to walk you if you want me to.
Oh,jack that would be great.
Yes! Thank you! I gotta go tell my mom.

She--she deserves a great day.

- Come on! We have to beat the storm.

Hold on there,mop top.
This wind is killing me.

Now go! Go!Go,young man! Go and get married for all of us who can't! dick,watch it! I'm trying.
Sorry.
yes,I'll spend the night with you.
we just have to say "I do.
mr.
O'bacherlorton is unconscious.
It's a common neurological effect associated with victims of a lightning strike.
How could this have happened? Uh,apparently,the bobby pin in his hair conducted the electricity.
It's all my fault? I can't take cowlicks.
Now he's in a coma? These hands were only supposed to be used for good.
Can the dramatics,sweetheart.
your husband is not in a coma.
He's not my husband yet.
We never got to that part.
We still need to run some tests-- look for contusions,hemorrhaging.
Is there anything we can do? I know it's frustrating,but all you folks can do now is wait.
Oh,sweetie,do you need anything? You wanna go for a walk? Get some fresh air? I wanna be the first thing patrick sees when he wakes up.
He'll pull through.
Our patrick's a fighter.
he is.
We should go to the hospital.
I think I've done enough already.
- Eric - this is my fault.
They had to get married outside 'cause I quit my church.
I let 'em down like I let you down.
Like I let god down.
And look,the lightning should've been for me.
You really think that? That god would strike you down because you followed your heart? What are you doing? You told me when we met that god forgives! Does he forgive me? - Sara - what about what I've done to betray him? My past? My present with you? Does he forgive me for being human,or should he just strike me down right now? Is that really what you believe? Let's go,god! Give it to me! We're still here.
Jane! Hey,jane! Hi,sam.
Hey,you! Come here.
Did you get engaged today? I didn't mean to.
It just came out.
You know how I get at weddings.
Oh,what have I done,marin? I can't marry sam.
What am I gonna do? You talk to him.
Tell him how you're feeling.
I can't.
I'm avoiding him.
That's another way to go.
Oh,annie! How are you holding up? Is there anything I can do? No,thank you.
Listen what I did at your wedding-- so wrong.
No,no,it's okay.
At least someone's love got celebrated today.
How's my pumpkin holding up? Uh,can you give us a minute? When I was in 'nam,I saw a guy get blown 50 feet by a grenade.
The next day he woke up.
He could sing like pavarotti.
This isn't 'nam.
This is my wedding.
Well,it's a feel-good story,nonetheless.
No,dad,a feel-good story would've been you staying faithful to mom, so that I would've walked down the aisle on time, and the lightning would not have hit patrick so that now we would be happily married, instead of sitting in a hospital wondering if the man who is now not my husband is going to live.
I'm sorry,anne elizabeth.
I need you to go.
Now.
I'm still your dad.
I still love you.
pastor eric,you're here.
I'm so sorry I'm late.
He's still unconscious.
Let's pray.
dear god,please be here with us with patrick,with annie.
Help us to feel strong.
Help him to wake up and give all of us another chance.
Patrick you're okay! Who's patrick? My name is celia.
I'm your mother.
I'm dick.
You'll see me in the wedding photos.
And I'm your mommai.
What does that mean? It's "mom" and "mai" put together.
You came up with it.
I'm smart.
You are very smart.
You call her that because,uh,she's married to me.
I'm your dad.
Yeah,right! cash? What are you doing here? Patrick was in an accident.
Wait,what are you doing here? Marin? It's,uh 5:00 A.
M.
I feel terrible leaving in the middle of all this, but I have to go,or I'm gonna miss the flight to the boat.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean for our last night together to include all of elmo.
It wasn't exactly what I had in mind,but patrick needs you.
I am the best woman.
Yeah.
You are.
been a long night? yeah.
How you holding up? Not so good,I think.
bob and I are splitting up.
You mind if I ask what happened? Well I told him that I had spent a wonderful evening talking to a very intriguing man,and he told me that he had spent a wonderful few years boffing an O.
T.
B.
Official.
listen to me,talking about myself when I should be comforting my daughter.
Moms need comfort,too.
How'd I get anyone so beautiful to agree to marry me? - Do you remember what these are? - Yeah.
- Forget-me-nots.
- Yes! They're our favorite flower.
Do you remember that? No.
But it sure was nice.
here.
Eat your pudding.
vanilla used to be your favorite.
Do you like it? I do.
Hello.
Hello.
Sam I'm sorry I've been avoiding you.
It's just-- uh,what happened at the wedding-- that was crazy and impulsive and wrong a big mistake,and I'm sorry.
Heat of the moment and all that.
Yeah,I totally agree.
- Y-you do? - Yeah.
Proposals should be thought out,meaningful.
They're meant to last you the rest of your life,right? Right.
And you deserve one of those proposals where I tell you how much I love the way you curl up when you sleep how you make me feel smart and strong and funny-- sam don't interrupt me.
I'm on a roll.
I love your glasses.
I love that you came up here for a wedding,and it's dawn, and you're here drinking crappy coffee because you carebout people.
you are it for me,jane.
Jane burns will you marry me? you bet.
Everything 10-4? Yes,thank you.
I got you something.
They're for cutting plaster,but they work on metal,too.
A nice doctor slipped em to me.
Just,um - You all right? - Yeah.
Okay.
- Okay? - Yeah,all right.
Yeah.
There.
Not attached anymore.
Come on.
Let's get you something to eat.
I saw you down here and made him come around.
Is everything okay? don't forget me.
I won't.
Definitely not after that.
You know,uh when knights used to go into battle, the women would give their handkerchiefs.
Something to remember me by.
I'm not going into battle.
- Just be careful.
- Yeah.
You,too.
I'm gonna worry about you.
You know you don't always have to rescue me,jack.
Maybe someday I can rescue you.
I should go.
they say that instinctively,animals remember their way back home.
Maybit's a sense of smell or place or memory.
we are more fragile.
in an instant,our memories can become shadows.
the distance between ourselves and the ones we love can begin to seem insurmountable.
All some of us can do is to stay close to home and hope that we will not be forgotten.
but in the end, remembering is not entirely up to us.
Neither is coming home.
