Wedding Date Secret
Transcript
00:00That I'm focused on work, that I don't need to parade around a stranger.
00:07Delaney? Mom, she's my ex for a reason.
00:14Actually, you know what?
00:21I think I found a day you're really gonna like.
00:24I gotta go.
00:28I'm invested.
00:30I'm a shitty fan.
00:32You wanna go from the middle?
00:34Ain't tryna fuck me like a nigga in a rica.
00:36Moving through this shit.
00:38Like a TA with a cheer card.
00:40You claim they hate me, but they fucking out a freak.
00:42I was like, I just wanna dance all night.
00:44Can't nobody do it just like I?
00:46I got just what I like.
00:48Come on, baby, let's kiss on fire.
00:50What you wanna do? Tell me what you like.
00:52What you wanna do? Tell me what you like.
00:54What you wanna do? Tell me what you like.
00:56What you wanna do? Tell me what you like.
01:00What you wanna do? Tell me what you like.
01:02What you wanna do, tell me what you're looking for.
01:04What you wanna do, tell me what you're looking for.
01:06Looking for something?
01:11A date to my sister's wedding.
01:15I'll double your best payday, and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
01:23Lucky for you, I do escort work on the side.
01:29Give my agency a call.
01:32I'm yours, so long as you pay.
01:55Piper?
01:57That's me.
01:58You must be Tate.
01:59Thanks for meeting me at the service entrance.
02:01The agency filled you in, yes?
02:04You need to be at the top of your game tonight.
02:06My mother will be watching me like a hawk.
02:09Hopefully, with you there, she won't be trying to set me up with anyone.
02:12Of course, Mr. Young.
02:13You can trust me, I'm a professional.
02:15Well, I mean, you're an escort.
02:18It doesn't exactly require an MBA.
02:21And hiring an escort doesn't exactly require more than a dick and a credit card.
02:26Really just a credit card.
02:28That's funny.
02:29I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
02:32Two for the price of one.
02:33Lucky you.
02:34Lucky you.
02:44So, what's the story of how we met?
02:47You said you're a professional, right?
02:49Make something up.
02:50If we want to pull this off, we're going to have to have a story.
02:54You said yourself that your mother's going to be watching.
02:57Unless you want me to tell her the truth.
03:01Look, I realize that some of your other clients may find those kinds of jokes charming,
03:06but I need you to take this seriously, okay?
03:09My reputation's at stake here.
03:11You know, on my way over here, I was wondering,
03:14why does Tate Young, the most eligible bachelor in the city, need an escort?
03:20And I'm starting to understand why.
03:22Tate! You came!
03:24It's your rehearsal dinner. What'd you expect?
03:27Well, you always seem to find some excuse.
03:31And you are?
03:36It's nice to meet you, Ariana. I'm Piper.
03:39So?
03:40How did you two meet?
03:41Don't worry, babe. I'll tell her.
03:45I hosted a local artist charity auction last month,
03:48and the Young Family Foundation bid on a painting for their lobby.
03:52I supervised the installation, and Tate was there.
03:56The rest is history.
03:58Oh.
03:59Tate never usually spends time at the foundation.
04:02It was our father's passion project, but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
04:06Oh. Mom's looking for you? I told her you were over here, so good luck.
04:11Mm. I'm gonna go make out with Dave.
04:19You know, I gotta say, it's a little scary how good of a liar you are.
04:24Oh, Tate, we've got to work on your trust issues.
04:27That whole story was true.
04:29Aside from meeting you, of course.
04:32Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
04:37Hello. I don't believe you're on our guest list.
04:41Mom, come on. Is that anyone to treat my date?
04:45It's lovely to meet you, Mrs. Young.
04:47I was just telling your daughter that you bid on a painting at a local art auction I held last month.
04:53You hosted that?
04:54That painting spoke to me immediately.
04:57And I was especially intrigued with how the artist signed it.
05:01No name, just for Elizabeth.
05:04A dedication to the artist's mother.
05:07Must be nice for a mother to feel appreciated.
05:11I tried to find the artist, but if that artist appreciates their anonymity.
05:16Oh.
05:17And how about you, dear?
05:19Do you appreciate your anonymity as well?
05:22I'm an open book.
05:24Ask me anything.
05:26Oh.
05:28Where did you grow up?
05:29New York.
05:30Did you attend college?
05:31Princeton.
05:33College and graduate school for my MFA.
05:35Whoa.
05:37Poor dear. You must be drowning in student debt.
05:39Actually, my family didn't have to take out any loans, thank goodness.
05:43Oh, so you're comfortable.
05:45My mother was at the top of her field, so yes, we were comfortable.
05:49I see.
05:51We'll all have to have lunch together.
05:53Um, my mother is, unfortunately, no longer with us.
05:58All right, okay, enough with the third degree.
06:02I think Piper deserves a breather.
06:04I'll give her a tour of the house.
06:07Nice meeting you.
06:09You, too.
06:18Okay, so we've established that you're an enormous dork, which is probably why you have a hard time with the ladies.
06:26I prefer to focus on my work.
06:29You know they have support groups for that kind of thing.
06:33Stop. You sound like my mother.
06:35She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
06:38Oh, what kind of extremes?
06:40Trying to get me back together with my ex?
06:43Speaking of...
06:45Tate, baby, I missed you.
06:47Delaney, this is...
06:49Piper!
06:50His girlfriend.
06:52Delaney Hughes.
06:54His first love.
06:56Is that right?
06:57See, you're still trying to replace me, huh?
06:59What app did you find this one on?
07:01Piper is in the arts.
07:03That's where we met.
07:05And Delaney here is a lawyer at the firm.
07:06T, that's not all I am, and you know it.
07:09We dated all throughout high school and college.
07:11And then we broke up.
07:13Hmm?
07:14Delaney, why are you here?
07:15Oh, don't be like that.
07:16You know Josie and I have always been close.
07:19Why, I'm practically family, and who knows, maybe someday I will be.
07:23Delaney, what are you doing here?
07:25Thank God I came, right?
07:27I mean, it doesn't look like there was much of a turnout.
07:30We kept the guest list intimate.
07:32We didn't want anything to...
07:33Expensive?
07:34I mean, this family is worth millions.
07:36I'm sad that they couldn't offer you a decent wedding.
07:38If your father were alive to see his daughter...
07:40Delaney!
07:42Yes?
07:43You're drunk.
07:45I'll call you a car.
07:46Don't be silly.
07:48Go, Delaney, I didn't invite you here.
07:50Your mother did.
07:52Well, it's not her wedding, is it?
07:53The car's five minutes away.
07:54Feel free to wait outside.
07:57You should learn to stay out of my business.
07:59Otherwise, I might start sniffing around yours.
08:09I hope this isn't too forward, but can we be best friends already?
08:14Not too forward at all.
08:15Sorry about Delaney.
08:16It's okay.
08:17Or it will be, as long as you keep this girl around.
08:25I meant what I said earlier.
08:27If we're gonna get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
08:30Your family's not gonna stop crying.
08:35Okay, fine.
08:37I graduated from Columbia, Summa Cum Laude.
08:40Interned at Goldman Sachs.
08:42Became the youngest CEO in the firm's history.
08:45Made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
08:47And now, I'm expected to carry on a tradition of excellence.
08:51Mmm.
08:54Boring.
08:56Oh, success is boring to you?
08:59I can find all that stuff on Google.
09:02I wanna know who you really are.
09:04Okay, um...
09:06I'm good at billiards.
09:08Oh, God.
09:09Just call it pool, like a normal person.
09:12Pools are for swimming.
09:13Wow.
09:14Having a life of privilege really did a number on you, huh?
09:18Privilege is subjective.
09:20Well, money's not.
09:22And that makes all of the other problems a whole lot easier.
09:27Oh.
09:28What's this?
09:30Absolutely not.
09:31It does not say no escorts.
09:37Oh.
09:44A-B honor roll.
09:47So you're a huge nerd.
09:48Briefly.
09:51I loved space, anyway.
09:54What the hell happened?
09:55What do you mean?
09:56Based on my research, I couldn't find a single photo where you actually looked happy.
10:01And that Forbes 30 under 30 profile.
10:04It was thoughtful.
10:06Introspective.
10:08Mildly suicidal.
10:10Definitely depressing.
10:14Fine.
10:16There was this space camp that I begged my parents to attend.
10:20Finally, they agreed the summer before I went to high school.
10:23But, uh, while I was gone, my, uh, my father passed away.
10:30I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:34After that, I guess I stopped looking up at the stars.
10:39That's where he was, you know?
10:42Instead of down here with us.
10:43Are you okay?
10:44I should, uh, get back to the party before my mother comes looking.
11:00So you're coming to the wedding tomorrow, right?
11:01I don't work multi-day jobs.
11:02Plus, I don't think I should.
11:03Your family is way too involved.
11:04It's too complicated.
11:05I thought you said you were a professional.
11:06You'll have to make up an excuse.
11:08You'll have to make up an excuse.
11:09Or give them my apologies.
11:10I'm sorry, Tate.
11:11Really.
11:12I'll double your rate.
11:13And I'll do whatever you say.
11:14Open up as much as

16:02Just trust me okay
16:03I grew up with a sister
16:05So how did this happen anyway?
16:09I fell asleep painting
16:11Which
16:12I haven't done since I was a kid
16:14I'm surprised you had the energy to paint after everything yesterday
16:18I was inspired
16:20I know what you mean
16:23You know we have staff for that sort of thing
16:32Yes
16:32And I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this
16:35You're in a good mood
16:38It's a good day
16:40It's Piper isn't it?
16:43I was skeptical
16:44But I see how happy she makes you
16:47Mom
16:48Please don't make a big deal out of this
16:50Okay
16:50Your father would have liked her
16:53I like her too
16:57Hey
17:01What are you doing with those flowers?
17:20Ready?
17:29Dave
17:30When we first met we agreed we felt like teenagers again
17:33Energized
17:35Invincible
17:37But as we fell in love I felt more like a little kid again
17:41Full of wonder
17:43And hope
17:45I had absolute faith in you because I felt absolutely cherished
17:50Just like I did when I was small
17:53My father taught me that unconditional love was possible
17:57And I know you're the only man he'd trust his little girl to
18:03Because you love all versions of me
18:08Unconditionally
18:10And I vow to love you just the same
18:14Young or old
18:17Richer or poorer
18:20In sickness and in health
18:23Forever
18:25Full shit
18:29You were absolutely crying
18:31I was not
18:32Okay
18:33I may have shed a tear
18:34But she's my baby sister
18:35And she was getting married
18:36I think I'm entitled to
18:38Oh my god
18:38Okay
18:39If you make this a big deal Piper
18:40I swear
18:41No no no
18:41Not that
18:42Is that
18:43Sebastian Rockwell
18:44The art critic
18:45I'm kind of obsessed with him
18:47Hey Bash
18:48Tate
18:49No
18:49Beautiful ceremony
18:54Thank you so much my friend
18:55Sebastian I want you to meet someone
18:57This is Piper Manning
18:58It's so nice to meet you Mr. Rothwell
19:01I've been reading your writing for years
19:03That piece you wrote on the Edward Hopper retrospective at the Whitney
19:08Made me cry
19:10You're too kind
19:12Are you an artist yourself?
19:14I'm a painter
19:15Send me some photos of your work
19:17I'd love to know more about the woman who stole Tate Young's heart
19:20Excuse me
19:24I have to take this
19:25Connect us
19:26So
19:46Did you save a dance for me?
19:49I don't dance
19:50What?
19:52No
19:53Ariana said everyone had to dance
19:55And that includes you and me
19:56You don't want to piss off the bride, do you?
19:59How'd you get so good at this?
20:16I've attended way too many of these formal events to have not picked up a thing or two
20:19Oh
20:21Oh
20:22Is that your foot?
20:25How are you so bad at this?
20:27Dancing is not one of my skills
20:29So how did you get into escorted?
20:35I needed help with my mom's medical bills
20:38And the pay was great
20:40And I didn't mind escaping my reality from time to time
20:45Turns out
20:48When you're not born into a multi-million dollar family, life's kind of hard
20:52So having a concierge doctor isn't the norm?
20:58I was kind of hoping that this would be my last gig
21:01I want to spend more time at home
21:03Get a remote job or something
21:06Job is a job
21:08There's nothing wrong with doing what it takes to survive
21:10But for what it's worth
21:13I hope I'm your last assignment too
21:17How about a photo of the happy couple?
21:24Get cozy
21:25Come on, tape, give her a kiss
21:28You're fine
21:32Okay
21:51Have a good evening, little birds
21:53Stay with me tonight
22:03I thought that can ask for you
22:08We don't have to
22:10I just want to spend more time with you
22:14Please
22:16Is it me?
22:34Uh, sure
22:46Do you have a shirt for me to wear?
22:51Right, uh, of course
22:53It was a gift from my dad
23:00Oh, are you sure you want me to wear it?
23:05Don't be silly
23:05Looks good on you
23:12Okay, who's being silly now?
23:17Just trying to be respectful
23:19I feel respected
23:20Now, can we sleep in the bed?
23:24Like adults?
23:28Hardwood floor, huh?
23:31Honestly
23:31You're stiff enough as it is
23:33Tea?
23:48Yeah

33:20he's shutting down dad's foundation
33:26this gorgeous new property just opened up in the seventh
33:37overpriced no doubt

34:55he never signs his paintings
34:57i didn't realize he was being shown in a gallery
35:02i think i saw one of his paintings in your catalog
35:06resembled the one i purchased last year

35:49tate doesn't know
35:50and i don't need his support
35:53why didn't you tell him
35:55because i want nothing to do with the youngs
35:58as you can see i'm thriving on my own
36:02even as an escort i was fine
36:04and i refuse to bring my daughter into a family that views me
36:08or her as a shameful mistake
36:11you're having a little girl
36:13yes i'm having a girl
36:16and just because i don't have the same resources as you
36:19doesn't mean i can't give her the best damn life possible

37:21and now you're trying to set us up

39:07but
39:09that's in the past now
39:11i'm fully capable of supporting my family
39:14all on my own
39:16you should have told me that
39:20it's too painful to talk about
39:23and you should have told me about this too
39:27you didn't defend me tate
39:29and you never reached out
39:31you wanted nothing to do with me after that day
39:34piper

40:00i want my daughter to know real love
40:04and
40:05i don't think you're capable of it

40:47who i'll never meet
40:48thanks to you
40:49hey
40:50don't blame this on me
40:52you were the one that brought her in this house in the first place
40:55you're right
40:55and i'm ashamed of us
40:59for how we treated her
41:01you want to know why she was escorting
41:04it's because her mother is sick
41:07not dead
41:07i mean really sick
41:09but i guess delaney's email didn't include that huh
41:12you know what
41:13it doesn't even matter who's to blame
41:15i understand why she didn't tell me
41:19i make a terrible father
41:22i'm nothing like dad
41:27hey drew have you seen my key to the supply closet anywhere
41:37it's exquisite
41:39changed my life
41:46it's what
41:47made all this possible
41:49when did you paint it
41:51the night i met him
41:53before
41:54everything else
41:56i was thinking about vermeer's portraits
42:00his use of light and contrast to create a whole world and essence of a person
42:06what appears at first glance
42:09simple
42:10becomes increasingly
42:12intimate
42:14and exposes who the person is emotionally
42:18i owe you an apology piper
42:23and an explanation
42:25the way i accused you of only going after tate for his money
42:31i only feared that because
42:33that's how i married my husband
42:36i grew up with so little
42:38practically nothing really
42:40i vowed my children would not have the same fate
42:44so you accused me of what you did
42:46you went digging for gold
42:48only at first
42:49but yes
42:51i sought out harrison for the security
42:54so what happened after you got married
42:56did you tell him the truth
42:59or did you just live out a lie
43:00after a few months
43:02i was head over heels
43:03harrison was the love of my life
43:06the best husband and father i could have ever asked for
43:09well i'm sorry tate didn't turn out more like harrison then
43:12but
43:13i appreciate your honesty
43:15piper
43:17i know that if given the chance
43:20tate would follow in his father's footsteps
43:22you don't have to forgive me
43:27but please
43:28please let tate be a part of his child's life
43:32i'll think about it
43:50josie brought me
43:51she must have really groveled
43:54she did change my mind about something
43:57i
43:59never grew up knowing my father
44:01and
44:02i'd be lying if i said that i didn't feel that absence
44:07so i'm
44:09willing to let you be in her life
44:11on my terms
44:13see you in a month
44:19wait what
44:21well
44:22the baby's not here yet
44:23yeah but i want to be a good father now
44:25what do you mean
44:30being a good father means taking care of the mother
44:37even if the child's not here yet
44:40you can come over tonight
44:44i need help building a crib
44:47i'll be there
44:49you're on the wrong page

45:11no piper absolutely not
45:13and don't make me send you to bed early
45:15so how's your mom doing
45:20is there any chance for improvement
45:22not really
45:25you know she has good days but
45:28it's mainly about
45:29managing the bad ones
45:31always worried that she's miserable
45:33she's
45:35non-verbal so
45:37i have no way of knowing
45:38speaking of your mother
45:44we uh
45:45we moved her for elizabeth peace
45:47into the estate
45:48now that the foundation is shutting down
45:50i heard
45:51why are you
45:54trying to shut down your father's work
45:56the foundation was draining us
45:58the family firm needs to expand
46:00the word family comes first
46:02in that sentence for a reason
46:03my dad would have loved you
46:06he always put it in that order too
46:08family foundation firm
46:12so if foundation comes before a firm
46:16don't you think he'd want you to keep it open
46:18yeah well
46:18add it to the list of ways i'm letting him down
46:21what else is on the list
46:24well all he ever wanted was for me to be happy

49:50I know who this one's from.
49:57Oh my God.
49:59From a mom to a mom.
50:04I love it.
50:06Wow.
50:10Well.
50:14That'll go great with what I got you.
50:17Mom.
50:19Everyone.
50:22I've decided to keep Dad's foundation going.
50:27We're going to work with local artists in the community.
50:31Ones that have never had their own space.
50:34It's going to be for them.
50:38And that's not all.
50:40I've been thinking about a lot these past few days.
50:43Especially what makes me happy.
50:47It all comes down to family.
50:49I want to follow in Dad's footsteps.
50:52Do good.
50:54Be good.
50:55Be good.
50:58And that is why I am starting the Harrison Young Explorers program in his name.
51:03So that more kids can go to space camp or art camp or whatever it is they dream of going.
51:09I don't know how you did it Piper.
51:12You gave me my brother back.
51:15Happy birthday Josie!
51:17Delaney what are you doing here?
51:19I changed my flight so I could be here for your mother's birthday.
51:23What the hell is she doing here?
51:26And what is that?
51:29That's mine Delaney.
51:31We're having a baby.
51:33Oh this family is full of secrets aren't they?
51:37Did you tell them the other news Tate?
51:39Did you tell them that we're engaged?
51:40Tate, what is she talking about?
51:41I didn't think she was going to do this.
51:43Delaney.
51:44What?
51:45You'd rather have that whore for a daughter-in-law?
51:47You watch your language when talking about the mother of my grandchild.
51:51Josie, it's fine.
51:53Thank you for defending me but Tate can make his own decisions and clearly he has decided who he wants to be with.
52:04The press is going to love this.
52:07I mean, what about the stock prices?
52:10What happens when they find out that their CEO is having a bastard child with a prostitute?
52:16Tell the press whatever you want.
52:17Piper!
52:18Tate!
52:19Baby, I love you!
52:20You love my name Delaney.
52:22Piper.
52:23Hey, Piper.
52:24I swear to you.
52:25This was a mistake.
52:27I should have never called her.
52:28I never proposed, okay?
52:29I was going to end things when she got back.
52:31This world that you live in is toxic.
52:34I agree.
52:35Hey, Piper, I agree with you.
52:36I would give all this up just to be with you and our daughter.
52:41You brought me back to life the night of my sister's wedding.
52:44But I was just too stupid to see it.
52:46Hi.
52:47Hey, you okay?
52:48What's wrong?
52:49I don't...
52:50You okay?
52:51I don't feel good.
52:52Hey, Piper.
52:53Hey, Piper.
52:54Hey, Piper.
52:55I got you.
52:56Hey, someone help!
52:57Hey.
52:58You're awake.
52:59You really scared me back there.
53:14What happened?
53:16I guess you got up so fast, your blood pressure dropped and you fainted.
53:21But the family doctor said you and the baby are both fine.
53:26I have to go.
53:27My mom...
53:28I called your nurse.
53:29Renee is with her.
53:31Please.
53:32Please.
53:33Stay.
53:34Piper.
53:37Delaney is not gonna bother us anymore.
53:39I promise you that.
53:40I heard what you said out there.
53:45I meant every word of it.
53:46It's...
53:47Not that I don't believe you.
53:48It's just...
53:49I'm really scared, Tate.
53:50Tell me what you're scared of.
53:51Messing up our kid?
53:52Spoiling her too much?
53:53Or...
53:54Not enough?
53:55Or...
53:56What if we're bad parents?
53:57We don't know what we're doing.
53:58We'll get through it together.
53:59That's not what scares me the most.
54:00I'm really scared.
54:01I'm really scared, Tate.
54:02Tell me what you're scared of.
54:03Tell me what you're scared of.
54:04Messing up our kid?
54:05Spoiling her too much?
54:06Or...
54:07Not enough?
54:08Or...
54:09What if we're bad parents?
54:10We don't know what we're doing.
54:11We'll get through it together.
54:12That's not what scares me the most.
54:25That's not what scares me the most, though.
54:30I'm scared of how much I love you.
54:36I love you too.
54:39We hardly know each other.
54:41That sounds crazy, but...
54:44I feel like you know me better than anyone else.
54:47The real me.
54:50But ask me anything.
54:52I'm an open book.
54:54What do you want?
54:59I want us to be a family, Piper.
55:01That's it.
55:02First and foremost.
55:04I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood that you and I never got to have.
55:09Lizzie?
55:11Yeah.
55:12Short for Elizabeth.
55:13I thought it sounded right.
55:14It sounds perfect.
55:18My mom is so excited we're moving into the estate.
55:31It's not exactly giving normal childhood.
55:34Well, normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights of stairs, Piper.
55:42And besides, there's more than enough room here for me, you, Lizzie, and your mom.
55:46She does seem more comfortable here.
55:49I, um, I have a confession to make.
55:53After the family doctor gave you the all clear, I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists.
55:59You did that?
56:01Of course.
56:02I talked to them and we came up with an action plan that should give Elizabeth more good days.
56:08What kind of action plan?
56:09Well, a full-time in-house specialist for one.
56:12And an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her.
56:17Plus, something else that should help bring back some memories.
56:26Is that a piano?
56:40She's happy.
56:42Tate, I can tell she's happy.
56:45Music came right back to her.
56:48The doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what, but they think it's a good sign.
56:54I'm not surprised.
56:56You know, it's in her muscles, her blood, her DNA, everything.
57:02Do you want to try talking to her?
57:07Not yet.
57:09I want her to have this.
57:33My mom took Lizzie on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood.
57:36Oh, she's going to have the whole street wrapped around her finger.
57:40You know, you're not going to be able to teach her how to use that for a few years.
57:45Yes, but in the meantime, he'll teach her how to paint.
57:49And who knows, maybe we'll have the next starry night on our hands.
57:53Hopefully without the botched eardrop.
57:54There's a piece I can't find.
57:57Do you mind looking in that box for me?
57:59It's, uh, small and gold.
58:01Tate, what's this?
58:04Tate, what's this?
58:17Piper Manning, you made me want to look up at the stars again.
58:22Will you marry me?
58:24I will.
58:26What?
58:50Oh!
58:51I will.
