Wedding Date Secret

Transcript

00:37:29I like you.

00:44:29You can't sleep.

00:45:58Wow.

00:46:28Oh my God.

00:46:58I had to sell it.

00:48:28Well, I mean, you said,

00:48:58get away from my son.

00:49:28Get off my property.

00:49:58How can you say, you said,

00:50:28so much for you.

00:50:58Piper, hey, Piper.

00:51:28I am just an escort.

00:51:58Hey, you're just, you, yeah.

00:52:28Well, not all on my own.

00:52:31How is our little one doing today?

00:52:33Crushing my bladder, as a matter of fact.

00:52:39This is incredible, Piper.

00:52:42You said you were going into business on your own.

00:52:44I had no idea.

00:52:46It was partially thanks to your wedding.

00:52:51Am I your muse?

00:52:53I did feel inspired that weekend.

00:52:55It was the first time I was able to paint in over a year.

00:53:02And Tate introduced me to Sebastian Rothwell.

00:53:05He loved one of my new pieces, wrote an article about it,

00:53:08and then I had requests and commissions just flooding in.

00:53:12So thanks for getting married.

00:53:15Well, thank you for letting me be in your life.

00:53:18Between that and you agreeing to keep this a secret,

00:53:22you have definitely earned your best friend's back.

00:53:25Well, it's not hard to keep a secret when you barely speak to your family.

00:53:31It's okay.

00:53:32It's good, actually.

00:53:34After the way they treated you, I finally drew some boundaries.

00:53:37No more meddling from Mom.

00:53:39No more watching Tate destroy the legacy my father created.

00:53:44How is he?

00:53:44From what I can tell, miserable.

00:53:50And he's making everybody around him miserable, too.

00:53:57He's shutting down Dad's foundation.

00:53:58This gorgeous new property just opened up in the 7th.

00:54:10Overpriced, no doubt.

00:54:12Without the foundation bleeding our firm dry, we can afford it.

00:54:16Our first European office.

00:54:19Our London office is in Europe.

00:54:21We can spend the summers vacationing on the Seine.

00:54:25Ugh, the Seine is filthy.

00:54:28I'll take a tour when I visit next week.

00:54:42What the hell is this?

00:54:43That's the ring you're going to use to propose to me.

00:54:47We'll announce the good news when I'm back.

00:54:50Don't worry.

00:54:52I like a surprise.

00:55:09Hello?

00:55:10Is there anyone here to help me?

00:55:13I'd love to purchase a piece.

00:55:15Be out in a sec.

00:55:16Take your time, dear.

00:55:18I think you're showing an artist that I've been trying to find for the past year.

00:55:24You have no idea how hard it is to track him down.

00:55:28He never signs his paintings.

00:55:32I didn't realize he was being shown in a gallery.

00:55:36I think I saw one of his paintings in your catalog.

00:55:39It resembled the one I purchased last year.

00:55:42What do you think you're doing here?

00:55:45Excuse me?

00:55:46I need to talk to the artist immediately.

00:55:49Does he know the gallery hired a prostitute?

00:55:52I'm the artist that you've been looking for.

00:55:55And this is my gallery.

00:55:57Now get off of my property before I call the police.

00:56:01Wait.

00:56:02Wait.

00:56:04Judging from your appearance, I think I should stay.

00:56:07I don't have to take your insults anymore.

00:56:09If I'm not mistaken, and I've had two pregnancies myself, I think you're as far along as Ariana's wedding.

00:56:17Did you do this to trap him?

00:56:20You're coming after child support, aren't you?

00:56:22Tate doesn't know.

00:56:24And I don't need his support.

00:56:27Why didn't you tell him?

00:56:28Because I want nothing to do with the youngs.

00:56:32As you can see, I'm thriving on my own.

00:56:35Even as an escort, I was fine.

00:56:38And I refused to bring my daughter into a family that views me or her as a shameful mistake.

00:56:45You're having a little girl?

00:56:47Yes.

00:56:48I'm having a girl.

00:56:50And just because I don't have the same resources as you,

00:56:53doesn't mean I can't give her the best damn life possible.

00:56:56She's going to be happy and healthy,

00:56:58and she will never have the misfortune of meeting you.

00:57:02Now please leave.

00:57:11Thanks for coming by.

00:57:14I needed access to all of Dad's files on the foundation.

00:57:17That's the only reason I'm here.

00:57:18I don't want to argue with you.

00:57:20Is that all you think I do?

00:57:21Either that, or you guilt trip me about shutting down Dad's foundation.

00:57:25I don't want to argue with you either.

00:57:28I just want to ask,

00:57:31have you ever heard from Piper again?

00:57:34What?

00:57:35No.

00:57:37Why?

00:57:38I heard she opened her own gallery.

00:57:41Good for her.

00:57:41I thought maybe we could stop by sometime.

00:57:47Or just you?

00:57:49Reconnect?

00:57:50You know, I just don't understand you.

00:57:52First you throw her out of the house,

00:57:54and now you're trying to set us up?

00:57:56That's not what I'm trying to do.

00:57:58I thought that you would be happy that I'm back with Delaney.

00:58:00You know, someone from our world?

00:58:02I just can't win with you.

00:58:04Tate, stop.

00:58:05There's something that I have to tell you about Piper.

00:58:08This song is one of your favorites, Mama.

00:58:37What are you doing here?

00:59:01My mother told me.

00:59:04How did you find me?

00:59:06We have a PI on retainer.

00:59:08Of course you do.

00:59:10Do you people respect anything?

00:59:12You want to talk about respect?

00:59:14How could you not tell me we're about to have a kid?

00:59:16We're not about to do anything.

00:59:19Keep your voice down.

00:59:20Is that your mom?

00:59:24Is she okay?

00:59:26No.

00:59:27She's not okay.

00:59:28Why did you lie about her?

00:59:30I wasn't lying when I said that she's no longer with us.

00:59:34She's gone.

00:59:37Alzheimer's.

00:59:38Her care nearly drove me to bankruptcy.

00:59:40But that's in the past now.

00:59:45I'm fully capable of supporting my family all on my own.

00:59:51You should have told me that.

00:59:54It's too painful to talk about.

00:59:58And you should have told me about this, too.

01:00:01You didn't defend me, Tate.

01:00:03And you never reached out.

01:00:05You wanted nothing to do with me after that day.

01:00:08Piper.

01:00:08Look, I get it.

01:00:10I'm a black mark on your precious reputation.

01:00:16Delaney's better for you.

01:00:18How do you know about that?

01:00:20The press fall was your every move.

01:00:22And I'm sure they'd have a field day about this.

01:00:31Please, just leave us alone.

01:00:35I want my daughter to know real love.

01:00:38And I don't think you're capable of it.

01:00:50You haven't taken your telescope out since you were a kid.

01:00:54Yeah, well, I try not to think about Dad too much these days.

01:00:58Yeah.

01:00:59Did you see Piper?

01:01:01What did she say?

01:01:03How much does she want?

01:01:05She didn't want anything.

01:01:06We'll need to draft an NDA.

01:01:08Good God.

01:01:09A pregnant escort.

01:01:11The media circus around that.

01:01:13Is that all you can think about?

01:01:14I'm thinking about our family.

01:01:16Yeah, so am I.

01:01:18I'm about to have a daughter out there in the world who I'll never meet thanks to you.

01:01:22Hey, don't blame this on me.

01:01:25You were the one that brought her in this house in the first place.

01:01:28You're right.

01:01:28And I'm ashamed of us.

01:01:32For how we treated her.

01:01:35You want to know why she was escorting?

01:01:38It's because her mother is sick.

01:01:40Not dead.

01:01:41I mean really sick.

01:01:42But I guess Delaney's email didn't include that, huh?

01:01:45You know what?

01:01:46It doesn't even matter who's to blame.

01:01:50I understand why she didn't tell me.

01:01:53I make a terrible father.

01:01:55I'm nothing like Dad.

01:02:07Hey Drew, have you seen my key to the supply closet anywhere?

01:02:11It's exquisite.

01:02:12It changed my life.

01:02:20It's what made all this possible.

01:02:23When did you paint it?

01:02:25The night I met him.

01:02:27Before everything else.

01:02:31I was thinking about Vermeer's portraits.

01:02:34His use of light and contrast to create a whole world and essence of a person.

01:02:39What appears at first glance simple becomes increasingly intimate and exposes who the person is emotionally.

01:02:54I owe you an apology, Piper.

01:02:57And an explanation.

01:03:00The way I accused you of only going after Tate for his money.

01:03:04I only feared that because that's how I married my husband.

01:03:10I grew up with so little.

01:03:12Practically nothing, really.

01:03:13I vowed my children would not have the same fate.

01:03:17So you accused me of what you did?

01:03:20You went digging for gold?

01:03:21Only at first.

01:03:23But yes.

01:03:25I sought out Harrison for the security.

01:03:28So what happened after you got married?

01:03:30Did you tell him the truth or did you just live out a lie?

01:03:33After a few months, I was head over heels.

01:03:37Harrison was the love of my life.

01:03:39The best husband and father I could have ever asked for.

01:03:42Well, I'm sorry Tate didn't turn out more like Harrison then.

01:03:45But I appreciate your honesty.

01:03:48Tate, Piper, I know that if given the chance, Tate would follow in his father's footsteps.

01:03:58You don't have to forgive me.

01:04:01But please, please let Tate be a part of his child's life.

01:04:08I'll think about it.

01:04:09Josie brought me.

01:04:26She must have really groveled.

01:04:28She did change my mind about something.

01:04:32I never grew up knowing my father.

01:04:34And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel that absence.

01:04:41So I'm willing to let you be in her life.

01:04:45On my terms.

01:04:51See you in a month.

01:04:52Wait.

01:04:53What?

01:04:54Well, the baby's not here yet.

01:04:57Yeah, but I want to be a good father now.

01:05:03What do you mean?

01:05:04Being a good father means taking care of the mother.

01:05:11Even if the child's not here yet.

01:05:15You can come over tonight.

01:05:18I need help building a crib.

01:05:21I'll be there.

01:05:21You're on the wrong page.

01:05:41I am not.

01:05:43If you would just let me help.

01:05:44No, Piper.

01:05:45Absolutely not.

01:05:46And don't make me send you to bed early.

01:05:48So how's your mom doing?

01:05:54Is there any chance for improvement?

01:05:57Not really.

01:05:59You know, she has good days, but...

01:06:01It's mainly about managing the bad ones.

01:06:04Always worried that she's miserable.

01:06:07She's nonverbal, so...

01:06:09I have no way of knowing.

01:06:15Speaking of your mother...

01:06:17We, uh...

01:06:18We moved your for Elizabeth piece into the estate now that the foundation is shutting down.

01:06:22I heard.

01:06:26Why are you trying to shut down your father's work?

01:06:29The foundation was draining us.

01:06:31The family firm needs to expand.

01:06:33The word family comes first in that sentence for a reason.

01:06:36My dad would have loved you.

01:06:40He always put it in that order, too.

01:06:43Family, foundation, firm.

01:06:46So, if foundation comes before a firm, don't you think he'd want you to keep it open?

01:06:51Yeah, well...

01:06:52Add it to the list of ways I'm letting him down.

01:06:56What else is on the list?

01:06:58Well, all he ever wanted was for me to be happy.

01:07:01And I'm not.

01:07:02Not since...

01:07:03Oh.

01:07:03What's wrong?

01:07:07Contractions.

01:07:08Are you going into labor?

01:07:10No, it's just...

01:07:12Ooh, Braxton Hicks.

01:07:16It's like a sharp pain across my stomach and my lower back.

01:07:21Yeah.

01:07:25Ooh.

01:07:29Better?

01:07:32Better.

01:07:33She's kicking.

01:07:38Can you feel it?

01:07:41Yeah, I can.

01:07:43She loves dancing around in there.

01:07:47Hopefully she's a better dancer than her mama.

01:07:53I have an idea.

01:07:53Yeah.

01:07:54What are you doing?

01:08:05I am eight months pregnant, you psycho.

01:08:08Yes, and I heard that you're supposed to get 30 minutes of exercise a day.

01:08:11I am eight months pregnant, you're not stepping on my feet.

01:08:25Hey, you're not stepping on my feet.

01:08:28Well, there's a big belly in between us.

01:08:30can you feel it?

01:08:32You're watching me?

01:08:32You're having to be a big belly in bed?

01:08:33I know.

01:08:34I can do it.

01:08:34I know.

01:08:35I know.

01:08:36I know.

01:08:36God, Piper.

01:08:38What?

01:08:40If I thought you were sexy before.

01:08:43I'm a beached whale.

01:08:45You're perfect

01:08:48Wait, no, I'm sorry, Piper

01:08:59It's fine

01:09:00You have nothing to be sorry for

01:09:03Co-parents, we're not dating

01:09:06Things with Delaney

01:09:08They're complicated

01:09:11They shouldn't be

01:09:12She's perfect for you

01:09:15We shouldn't have

01:09:17You should go

01:09:20Come to my mother's birthday dinner tomorrow

01:09:23Please, Piper

01:09:27I'll come

01:09:29I want a good relationship with your mom

01:09:31And what about a relationship with me?

01:09:35Who knows

01:09:36You might make a good dad

01:09:38But you're no good for me

01:09:45Oh, interesting

01:10:11It's from me. It's to help you relax.

01:10:23I know who this one's from.

01:10:27Oh my god.

01:10:31From a mom to a mom.

01:10:35I love it.

01:10:39Well, that'll go great with what I got you.

01:10:49Mom. Everyone.

01:10:55I've decided to keep Dad's foundation going.

01:10:59We're going to work with local artists in the community.

01:11:03Ones that have never had their own space.

01:11:07It's going to be for them.

01:11:11And that's not all.

01:11:13I've been thinking about a lot these past few days.

01:11:15Especially what makes me happy.

01:11:19It all comes down to family.

01:11:21I want to follow in Dad's footsteps.

01:11:25Do good.

01:11:27Be good.

01:11:29And that is why I'm starting the Harrison Young Explorers program in his name.

01:11:35So that more kids can go to space camp or art camp or whatever it is they dream of going.

01:11:43I don't know how you did it, Piper.

01:11:45You gave me my brother back.

01:11:47Happy birthday, Josie!

01:11:49Delaney, what are you doing here?

01:11:51I changed my flight so I could be here for your mother's birthday.

01:11:55What the hell is she doing here?

01:11:59And what is that?

01:12:01That's mine, Delaney.

01:12:03We're having a baby.

01:12:05This family is full of secrets, aren't they?

01:12:09Did you tell them the other news, Tate?

01:12:11Did you tell them that we're engaged?

01:12:13Tate, what is she talking about?

01:12:18I didn't think she was going to do this.

01:12:20Delaney.

01:12:21What?

01:12:22You'd rather have that whore for a daughter-in-law?

01:12:24You watch your language when talking about the mother of my grandchild.

01:12:28Josie, it's fine.

01:12:30Thank you for defending me, but...

01:12:32Tate can make his own decisions and clearly he has decided who he wants to be with, so...

01:12:38The press is going to love this.

01:12:41I mean, what about the stock prices?

01:12:43What happens when they find out that their CEO is having a bastard child with a prostitute?

01:12:48Tell the press whatever you want.

01:12:50Piper!

01:12:51Tate!

01:12:52Baby!

01:12:53I love you!

01:12:54You love my name, Delaney.

01:12:55Piper.

01:12:56Hey, Piper.

01:12:57I swear to you.

01:12:58This was a mistake.

01:12:59We should have never called her.

01:13:00I never proposed, okay?

01:13:01I was going to end things when she got back.

01:13:03This world that you live in is toxic.

01:13:06I agree.

01:13:07Hey, hey, Piper.

01:13:08I agree with you.

01:13:09I would give all this up just to be with you and our daughter.

01:13:14You brought me back to life the night of my sister's wedding.

01:13:17But I was just too stupid to see it.

01:13:19Hi.

01:13:20Hey.

01:13:21You okay?

01:13:22What's wrong?

01:13:23I don't...

01:13:24You okay?

01:13:25I don't feel good.

01:13:26Hey, Piper.

01:13:27Hey, Piper.

01:13:28Hey, Piper.

01:13:29I got you.

01:13:30Hey.

01:13:31You're awake.

01:13:32You really scared me back there.

01:13:47What happened?

01:13:49I guess you got up so fast.

01:13:52Your blood pressure dropped and you fainted.

01:13:54But the family doctor said you and the baby are both fine.

01:13:58I have to go.

01:14:00My mom...

01:14:01I called your nurse.

01:14:02Renee is with her.

01:14:04Please.

01:14:05Stay.

01:14:06Piper.

01:14:10Delaney is not going to bother us anymore.

01:14:12I promise you that.

01:14:16I heard what you said out there.

01:14:21I meant every word of it.

01:14:24It's...

01:14:25Not that I don't believe you.

01:14:27It's just...

01:14:30I'm really scared, Tate.

01:14:35Tell me what you're scared of.

01:14:38Messing up our kid.

01:14:40Spoiling her too much.

01:14:42Or...

01:14:43Not enough.

01:14:44Or...

01:14:45What if we're bad parents?

01:14:48We don't know what we're doing.

01:14:51We'll get through it together.

01:14:58That's not what scares me the most, though.

01:15:04I'm scared of how much I love you.

01:15:06I love you too.

01:15:09We hardly know each other.

01:15:11It sounds crazy, but...

01:15:13I feel like you know me better than anyone else.

01:15:16The real me.

01:15:18But ask me anything.

01:15:20I'm an open book.

01:15:22What do you want?

01:15:23I want us to be a family, Piper.

01:15:24That's it.

01:15:25First and foremost.

01:15:27I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood that you and I never got to have.

01:15:30Lizzie?

01:15:31Yeah.

01:15:32Short for Elizabeth.

01:15:33I thought it sounded right.

01:15:35It sounds perfect.

01:15:37It sounds perfect.

01:15:39My mom is so excited we're moving into the estate.

01:15:41It's not exactly giving normal child care.

01:15:42It's not exactly giving normal child care.

01:15:43You and I never got to have.

01:15:44You and I never got to have.

01:15:46Lizzie?

01:15:48Yeah.

01:15:49Short for Elizabeth.

01:15:51I thought it sounded right.

01:15:53It sounds perfect.

01:15:55My mom is so excited we're moving into the estate.

01:16:09It's not exactly giving normal childhood.

01:16:11Well, normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights stairs, Piper.

01:16:16And besides, there's more than enough room here for me, you, Lizzie, and your mom.

01:16:20She does seem more comfortable here.

01:16:22I, um, I have a confession to make.

01:16:27After the family doctor gave you the all clear,

01:16:30I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists.

01:16:34You did that?

01:16:35Of course.

01:16:37I talked to them and we came up with an action plan that should give Elizabeth more good days.

01:16:42What kind of action plan?

01:16:43Well, a full-time in-house specialist for one.

01:16:46And an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her.

01:16:50Plus, something else that should help bring back some memories.

01:16:58Is that a piano?

01:16:59Is that a piano?

01:17:12She's happy.

01:17:15Tate, I can tell she's happy.

01:17:18Music came right back to her.

01:17:19The doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what, but they think it's a good sign.

01:17:26I'm not surprised.

01:17:28You know, it's in her muscles, her blood, her DNA, everything.

01:17:33Everything.

01:17:35Do you want to try talking to her?

01:17:39Not yet.

01:17:41I want her to have this.

01:18:06My mom took Lizzy on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood.

01:18:08Oh, she's going to have the whole street wrapped around her finger.

01:18:13You know, you're not going to be able to teach her how to use that for a few years.

01:18:18Yes, but in the meantime, you'll teach her how to paint.

01:18:22And who knows, maybe we'll have the next starry night on our hands.

01:18:26Hopefully without the botched eardrop.

01:18:27There's a piece I can't find.

01:18:30Do you mind looking in that box for me?

01:18:32It's, uh, small and gold.

01:18:36Tate, what's this?

01:18:50Piper Manning, you made me want to look up at the stars again.

01:18:55Will you marry me?

01:18:58I will.

01:18:59I will.

01:19:07I will.

01:19:27I will.

01:19:40Will you marry me?

01:19:41And now?

01:19:42I will.

01:19:43They will.

01:19:45Here we go from the book.

01:19:47Your Book.

01:19:48Welcome Mark
