Short filmTranscript
00:00That I'm focused on work, that I don't need to parade around a stranger.
00:11Delaney? Mom, she's my ex for a reason.
00:19Actually, you know what?
00:22I think I found a day you're really gonna like.
00:27I gotta go.
00:30But when I'm out of the middle, it ain't tryna be like a nigga in the right corner.
00:35Moving through the shit like a TA with a cheer card.
00:37You claim that he loved me, but they fucking all her free cards.
00:40I just wanna dance all night. Can't nobody do it just like I.
00:45Like, that's just what I like. Come on baby let's kiss on fire.
00:50What you gonna do? Tell me what you like.
00:52What you gonna do? Tell me what you like.
00:55What you gonna do? Tell me what you like.
00:57Just stay aware, baby, I'm looking for you.
00:59What you wanna do, tell me what you like.
01:02What you wanna do, tell me what you like.
01:04What you wanna do, tell me what you like.
01:07I can't get to stay, I'm the one under the...
01:09Looking for something?
01:11A date to my sister's wedding.
01:15I'll double your best payday,
01:17and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
01:23Lucky for you.
01:24Well, I do escort work on the side.
01:29Give my agency a call.
01:31I'm yours, so long as you pay.
01:54Piper?
01:57That's me.
01:58You must be Tate.
01:59Thanks for meeting me at the service entrance.
02:02The agency filled you in, yes?
02:05You need to be at the top of your game tonight.
02:07My mother will be watching me like a hawk.
02:10Hopefully, with you there, she won't be trying to set me up with anyone.
02:12Of course, Mr. Young.
02:14You can trust me, I'm a professional.
02:16Well, I mean, you're an escort.
02:18It doesn't exactly require an MBA.
02:20And hiring an escort doesn't exactly require more than a dick and a credit card.
02:27Really just a credit card.
02:28That's funny.
02:29I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
02:32Two for the price to one.
02:34Lucky you.
02:34Two for the price to one.
03:04I find those kinds of jokes charming.
03:06But I need you to take this seriously, okay?
03:09My reputation's at stake here.
03:12You 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!
03:23You came!
03:24It's your rehearsal dinner.
03:26What'd you expect?
03:27Well, you always seem to find some excuse.
03:31And you are?
03:34It's nice to meet you, Ariana.
03:37I'm Piper.
03:39So?
03:40How did you two meet?
03:43Don't worry, babe.
03:44I'll tell her.
03:44I hosted a local artist charity auction last month,
03:49and 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.
03:58Wow.
03:59Tate never usually spends time at the foundation.
04:02It was our father's passion project,
04:04but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
04:06Oh, mom's looking for you.
04:09I told her you were over here, so good luck.
04:13I'm gonna go make out with Dave.
04:20You know, I gotta say,
04:21it's a little scary how good of a liar you are.
04:24Oh, Tate,
04:25we have got to work on your trust issues.
04:27That whole story was true.
04:30Aside from meeting you, of course.
04:32Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
04:37Hello.
04:38I don't believe you're on our guest list.
04:41Mom, come on.
04:42Is that anyone who treat my date?
04:45It's lovely to meet you, Mrs. Young.
04:47I was just telling your daughter
04:49that you bid on a painting
04:51at a local art auction I held last month.
04:53You hosted that?
04:54That painting spoke to me immediately.
04:58And I was especially intrigued
04:59with how the artist signed it.
05:00No name,
05:02just for Elizabeth.
05:05A dedication to the artist's mother.
05:06Must be nice
05:07for a mother to feel appreciated.
05:11I tried to find the artist,
05:13but if that artist appreciates their anonymity...
05:17Oh.
05:18And how about you, dear?
05:20Do you appreciate your anonymity as well?
05:23I'm an open book.
05:25Ask me anything.
05:26Oh.
05:26Where did you grow up?
05:29New York.
05:30Did you attend college?
05:31Princeton.
05:32College and graduate school for my MFA.
05:35Whoa.
05:37Poor dear.
05:37You must be drowning in student debt.
05:40Actually, my family didn't have to take out any loans.
05:42Thank goodness.
05:43Oh.
05:44So you're comfortable.
05:45My mother was at the top of her field,
05:47so yes, we were comfortable.
05:50I see.
05:50We'll all have to have lunch together.
05:53Um, my mother is, unfortunately, no longer with us.
05:59All right.
06:00Okay.
06:00Enough 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.
06:09Okay, so we've established that you're an enormous dork,
06:22which is probably why you have a hard time with the ladies.
06:26I prefer to focus on my work.
06:29Hmm.
06:30You know they have support groups for that kind of thing.
06:32Stop.
06:33You sound like my mother.
06:34She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
06:37Oh, what kind of extremes?
06:40Trying to get me back together with my ex?
06:43Speaking of...
06:45Tate, baby.
06:46I missed you.
06:47Delaney, this is...
06:49Piper, his 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.
07:07T, that's not all I am, and you know it.
07:09We dated all throughout high school and college.
07:12And then we broke up.
07:13Hmm?
07:14Delaney, why are you here?
07:15Oh, don't be like that.
07:17You know Josie and I have always been close.
07:19Why, I'm practically family, and who knows?
07:22Maybe 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?
07:33I mean, this family is worth millions.
07:36I am sad that they couldn't bring you a decent wedding.
07:38If your father were alive to see his daughter...
07:40Delaney!
07:42You're drunk.
07:44I'll call you a car.
07:46Don't be silly.
07:48Go, Delaney.
07:49I didn't invite you here.
07:50Your mother did.
07:51Well, it's not her wedding, is it?
07:53Car's five minutes away.
07:55Feel free to wait outside.
07:56You 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.
08:21I meant what I said earlier.
08:27If we're going to get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
08:30Your family's not going to stop crying.
08:35Okay, fine.
08:35I 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.
08:53Hmm.
08:55Boring.
08:57Oh, success is boring to you?
08:59I can find all that stuff on Google.
09:02I want to know who you really are.
09:03Okay, um, I'm good at billiards.
09:08Oh, God.
09:09Just call it pool, like a normal person.
09:12A poser 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.
09:33Oh.
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.
10:07Mildly suicidal.
10:08Mildly suicidal.
10:09Mildly suicidal.
10:09Mildly suicidal.
10:09Mildly suicidal.
10:09Mildly suicidal.
10:09Mildly suicidal.
10:09Mildly suicidal.
10:10Definitely depressing.
10:14Fine.
10:15There was this space camp that I begged my parents to attend.
10:19And finally, they agreed the summer before I went to high school.
10:24But, uh, while I was gone, my, uh, my father passed away.
10:30But I'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?
11:03I should, uh, get back to the party before my mother comes looking.
11:12So you're coming to the wedding tomorrow, right?
11:14I don't work multi-day jobs.
11:17Plus, I don't think I should.
11:19Your family is way too involved.
11:21It's too complicated.
11:23I thought you said you were a professional.
11:26You'll have to make up an excuse.
11:29Or give them my apologies.
11:32I'm sorry, Tate.
11:33Really.
11:36I'll double your rate.
11:39And I'll do whatever you say.
11:41Open up as much as necessary.
11:44You don't want to keep lying near family, Tate.
11:47I mean, what's your big plan here?
11:49You know, for once, I'm not trying to strategize ten steps ahead.
11:53I know what I want right now.
11:55I mean, I'll talk to the agency.
12:00See if they can make arrangements.
12:06Thank you, Piper.
12:09Don't thank me yet.
12:09Look, I'd better go.
12:16Um.
12:16Oh, oh.
12:22Oh.
12:27Oh.
12:30Oh.
12:31Yeah, the next two nights
13:00Is Renee available?
13:03She's just so good with all the medications
13:05Oh good
13:08Please tell her that I'll have my room ready for her
13:11I'm gonna have my room ready for her
13:17I'm gonna have my room ready for her
13:21I am waiting
13:25So tell me what you need
13:30Cause I can't take it
13:35The way this is changing me
13:41I am writing
13:45So tell me what you need
13:50Cause I can't take it
13:55The way this is changing me
14:00I am writing
14:04So tell me what you need
14:08Cause I can't take it
14:14The way this is changing me
14:20Shit
14:39Fuck
14:44Text date
14:54I can't make it to the wedding today
14:57I'm sorry
14:58I'll return your money now
15:00Send
15:01Not an option
15:08Contract is signed with the agency
15:11See you at 11am
15:13Fuck
15:15Hello
15:23There you are
15:25Sorry I couldn't hear the gate
15:28It was open
15:29But I'm here
15:30And having a colossally bad hair day
15:34Okay well you can't wear a hat to the wedding
15:37It can't be that bad
15:40Let me see it
15:41It's that bad
15:43No one can see
15:44Show me
15:45I'm sorry
15:54Wow
15:56Wow
15:56What are you doing
16:02Just trust me okay
16:03I grew up with a sister
16:05So how did this happen anyway
16:08I fell asleep painting
16:11Which I 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
16:33And I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this
16:36You're in a good mood
16:38It's a good day
16:40It's Piper isn't it
16:42I was skeptical
16:44But I see how happy she makes you
16:48Mom please don't make a big deal out of this okay
16:51Your father would have liked her
16:53I like her too
16:57Hey what are you doing with those flowers
17:14Ready
17:23Dave
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
17:42Full 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
18:24Oh shit
18:29You were absolutely crying
18:31I was not
18:32Okay I may have shed a tear
18:34But she's my baby sister and she was getting married
18:36I think I'm entitled to
18:38Oh my god
18:38Okay if you make this a big deal Piper
18:40I swear
18:41No no no not that
18:42Is that Sebastian Rockwell
18:44The art critic
18:45I'm kind of obsessed with him
18:47Hey Bash
18:48Tate
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
19:09Make 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 I 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
19:59Do you?
20:14How'd you get so good at this?
20:16I've attended way too many of these formal events
20:18To have not picked up a thing or two
20:19Oh
20:21Oh
20:23Is that your fun?
20:23How 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
20:41And I didn't mind escaping my reality from time to time
20:45Turns out
20:48Turns out
20:48When you're not born into a multi-million dollar family
20:51Life'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
21:11But 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 Tate
21:28Give her a kiss
21:28Your plan
21:32Okay
21:51Have a good evening little birds
21:53Stay with me tonight
22:03I thought that kind of has squared
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
22:51Uh, of course
22:53It was a gift from my dad
23:00Oh
23:01Are you sure you want me to wear it?
23:05Don't be silly
23:06Looks good on you
23:12Okay
23:15Okay, who's being silly now?
23:18Just trying to be respectful
23:19I feel respected
23:20Now
23:21Can we
23:22Sleep in the bed?
23:24Like adults?
23:29Hardwood floor, huh?
23:31Honestly
23:31You're stiff enough as it is
23:45Tea?
23:46Tea?
23:48Yeah
23:49I was just
23:51Seeing if you were awake
23:54You can't sleep?
23:58Not really
24:07You?
24:11No
24:14Everything is
24:17Racing
24:19Is this okay?
24:27Okay
24:27Everything is racing for me too
24:34Is this okay?
24:47Is this okay?
24:48Okay
24:48Is this okay?
24:52I don't feel as if you were
25:00That's okay
25:01I don't know
25:02I don't know
25:02But I feel like
25:03I don't know
25:04That's okay
25:05I don't know
25:06I don't know
25:06I don't know
25:09I don't know
25:09Mm-hmm.
25:13Feel better.
25:20Mm-hmm.
25:22Okay.
25:39Wow, your dad was a babe.
25:46What happened to you?
25:48Okay, okay.
25:50I'm kidding.
25:51You're a babe, too.
25:52All right, come on.
25:53Let me see a picture of your mom.
26:02Oh, my God.
26:04She was stunning.
26:06You really miss her, don't you?
26:09I know it sounds weird, but I really miss her playing the piano.
26:15I used to come home from school, and I could hear it all the way from our building hallway.
26:21Anytime I heard that music, I knew that she was happy.
26:26I had to sell it, the piano, when she got sick.
26:32I haven't forgiven myself since that.
26:40I see some of your paintings sometime.
26:44You really don't spend enough time at your family's foundation.
26:47You've been talking to my mother, haven't you?
26:49The painting she bought for Elizabeth?
26:53It's mine.
26:54It was for my mom.
26:56You're incredible.
27:10Okay.
27:15So, is it like this with all your other clients?
27:17Not usually.
27:18This feels personal.
27:23Yeah, for me, too.
27:27Then me working for you creates a problematic power dynamic.
27:33Now, there's a word every man wants to hear in the bedroom.
27:38Not just for me, for both of us.
27:41You know?
27:42How do I know that you don't just want sex, and how do you know that I don't just want a paycheck?
27:50Looks like I'm not the only one with trust issues.
27:53Am I wrong?
27:54Well, I mean, you said after this weekend you might not be an escort anymore.
28:03So then what?
28:06So then I will take you out on a date.
28:11I don't know if I fit in here.
28:14You know, with your family and your world.
28:18Hey.
28:22Then I will make space for you.
28:30Get away from my son.
28:34What are you talking about, Mom?
28:36I just received a disturbing email from Delaney with attachments from an escort service.
28:41Did you know about this?
28:43About this gold digger?
28:45Calm down. It's not like that.
28:46I trusted you.
28:47And you lied to my face about using my son.
28:50I'm sorry I had to lie to you, but I was never using him.
28:54You're trespassing.
28:55Get off my property before I call the police.
28:58Alright, listen. There is no need to be so dramatic.
29:01Alright? I wanted a professional, so I hired one.
29:04Okay? End of story.
29:06Professional? You knew?
29:08Tate.
29:09I see the way you look at her.
29:11This woman has you eating out of the palm of her hand.
29:14And she lied to you, Tate.
29:17What do you mean she lied to me?
29:18Josie, please.
29:20Her mother's alive. Not dead, as she led us to believe.
29:24She lied about something like this?
29:26How can we believe anything she has to say?
29:30Is that true?
29:31It is, but...
29:34So much for really getting to know each other, huh?
29:37Can we please just talk about this privately?
29:39Why?
29:41So you can spin more lies, get off my property, or I'll call the police.
29:46Tate.
29:47Just leave.
29:50Before it gets any worse.
29:54So much for making space for me.
30:04Think about our family's future.
30:07What would your father think of this?
30:09A prostitute for a daughter-in-law?
30:12Enough.
30:14Now we have to spin damage control.
30:16Delaney promised not to leak it to the press if you meet with her for a chat.
30:21Piper.
30:22Hey, Piper.
30:23What the hell do you want?
30:25How could you lie to me?
30:27I don't owe you an explanation.
30:29How could you let your mother say those things to me?
30:31Yeah, well, maybe she was right.
30:33You never cared about me.
30:35You only cared about using me for my money and my connections.
30:37But what else should I have expected from an escort?
30:39You sell your body for money.
30:41Piper, I didn't mean that.
30:43I'm sorry.
30:44I'm sorry.
30:45I'm sorry.
30:46I'm sorry.
30:47I'm sorry.
30:48I'm sorry.
30:49I'm sorry.
30:50I'm sorry.
30:51I went too far.
30:52No.
30:53You know what?
30:54You're right.
30:56I am just an escort.
30:58And you're just another client.
31:01This was just business.
31:03And we are done here.
31:05Piper, wait.
31:21Hey, Renee.
31:22Is everything okay with my mom?
31:36Oh.
31:37Good.
31:39Sure.
31:40I'll stop by the pharmacy on the way home.
31:42No problem.
31:44Bye.
31:46Congratulations, Michelangela.
31:48Oh my gosh.
31:49You're so sweet.
31:50You did not have to do that.
31:51Of course I did.
31:52We have to celebrate you coming all this way all on your own.
31:55Well, not all on my own.
31:58How is our little one doing today?
32:00Crushing my bladder, as a matter of fact.
32:03This is incredible, Piper.
32:08And you said you were going into business on your own.
32:11I had no idea.
32:13It was partially thanks to your wedding.
32:17Am I your muse?
32:20I did feel inspired that weekend.
32:23It was the first time I was able to paint in over a year.
32:28And Tate introduced me to Sebastian Rothwell.
32:31He loved one of my new pieces, wrote an article about it.
32:35And then I had requests and commissions just flooding in.
32:39So, thanks for getting married.
32:42Well, thank you for letting me be in your life.
32:44Between that and you agreeing to keep this a secret,
32:49you have definitely earned your best friend's lap.
32:52Well, it's not hard to keep a secret when you barely speak to your family.
32:58It's okay.
32:59It's good, actually.
33:00After the way they treated you, I finally drew some boundaries.
33:04No more meddling from mom.
33:05No more watching Tate destroy the legacy my father created.
33:10How is he?
33:11From what I can tell.
33:15Miserable.
33:17And he's making everybody around him miserable, too.
33:23He's shutting down Dad's foundation.
33:25This gorgeous new property just opened up in the 7th.
33:37Overpriced, no doubt.
33:39Without the foundation bleeding our firm dry, we can afford it.
33:42Our first European office.
33:45Our London office is in Europe.
33:48We can spend the summers vacationing on the Seine.
33:51Ugh, the Seine is filthy.
33:54I'll take a tour when I visit next week.
33:56What the hell is this?
34:11That's the ring you're going to use to propose to me.
34:14We'll announce the good news when I'm back.
34:16Don't worry.
34:17I like a surprise.
34:18Hello?
34:19Is there anyone here to help me?
34:23I'd love to purchase a piece.
34:24Be out in a sec.
34:25Take your time, dear.
34:26I think you're showing an artist that I've been trying to find for the past year.
34:29You have no idea how hard it is to track him down.
34:41He never signs his paintings.
34:44I think you're showing an artist that I've been trying to find for the past year.
34:49You have no idea how hard it is to track him down.
34:56He never signs his paintings.
34:57I didn't realize he was being shown in a gallery.
35:03I think I saw one of his paintings in your catalog.
35:07It resembled the one I purchased last year.
35:10What do you think you're doing here?
35:12Excuse me?
35:13I need to talk to the artist immediately.
35:16Does he know the gallery hired a prostitute?
35:19I'm the artist that you've been looking for.
35:22And this is my gallery.
35:23Now get off of my property before I call the police.
35:28Wait. Wait.
35:31Judging from your appearance, I think I should stay.
35:35I don't have to take your insults anymore.
35:37If I'm not mistaken, and I've had two pregnancies myself,
35:41I think you're as far along as Ariana's wedding.
35:45Did you do this to trap him?
35:47You're coming after child support, aren't you?
35:50Tate doesn't know.
35:51And I don't need his support.
35:54Why didn't you tell him?
35:55Because I want nothing to do with the youngs.
35:59As you can see, I'm thriving on my own.
36:03Even as an escort, I was fine.
36:05And I refused to bring my daughter into a family that views me or her as a shameful mistake.
36:12You're having a little girl?
36:14Yes.
36:15I'm having a girl.
36:16And just because I don't have the same resources as you, doesn't mean I can't give her the best damn life possible.
36:23She's going to be happy and healthy, and she will never have the misfortune of meeting you.
36:29Now, please leave.
36:38Thanks for coming by.
36:39I needed access to all of Dad's files on the foundation.
36:44That's the only reason I'm here.
36:45I don't want to argue with you.
36:47Is that all you think I do?
36:49Either that, or you guilt-shirt me about shutting down Dad's foundation.
36:52I don't want to argue with you either.
36:55I just want to ask, have you ever heard from Piper again?
37:01What?
37:03No.
37:04Why?
37:05I heard she opened her own gallery.
37:08Good for her.
37:10I thought maybe we could stop by sometime.
37:14Or just you.
37:16Reconnect.
37:17You know, I just don't understand you.
37:19First, you throw her out of the house, and now you're trying to set us up?
37:23That's not what I'm trying to do.
37:25I thought that you would be happy that I'm back with Delaney.
37:28You know, someone from our world.
37:30I just can't win with you.
37:31Tate, stop.
37:32There's something that I have to tell you about Piper.
37:36This song is one of your favorites, Mama.
38:04What are you doing here?
38:29My mother told me.
38:31How did you find me?
38:34We have a P.I. on retainer.
38:36Of course you do.
38:37Do you people respect anything?
38:39You want to talk about respect?
38:41How could you not tell me we're about to have a kid?
38:44We're not about to do anything.
38:46You can keep your voice down.
38:49Is that your mom?
38:52Is she okay?
38:53No.
38:54She's not okay.
38:55Why did you lie about her?
38:57I wasn't lying when I said that she's no longer with us.
39:01She's gone.
39:04Alzheimer's.
39:06Her care nearly drove me to bankruptcy.
39:08But that's in the past now.
39:11I'm fully capable of supporting my family all on my own.
39:18You should have told me that.
39:22It's too painful to talk about.
39:25And you should have told me about this, too.
39:28You didn't defend me, Tate.
39:30And you never reached out.
39:32You wanted nothing to do with me after that day.
39:35Piper.
39:35Look, I get it.
39:37I'm a black mark on your precious reputation.
39:43Delaney's better for you.
39:45How do you know about that?
39:47The press fall was your every move.
39:49And I'm sure they'd have a field day about this.
39:58Please, just leave us alone.
40:03I want my daughter to know real love.
40:05And I don't think you're capable of it.
40:17You haven't taken your telescope out since you were a kid.
40:21Yeah, well, I try not to think about Dad too much these days.
40:25Yeah.
40:26Did you see Piper?
40:28What did she say?
40:30How much does she want?
40:32She didn't want anything.
40:33We'll need to draft an NDA.
40:36Good God.
40:36A pregnant escort.
40:38The media circus around that.
40:40Is that all you can think about?
40:41I'm thinking about our family.
40:44Yeah, so am I.
40:45I'm about to have a daughter out there in the world who I'll never meet thanks to you.
40:50Hey, don'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.
41:03You want to know why she was escorting?
41:05It's because her mother is sick.
41:07Not dead.
41:08I mean really sick.
41:10But I guess Delaney's email didn't include that, huh?
41:13You know what?
41:13It doesn't even matter who's to blame.
41:15I understand why she didn't tell me.
41:20I make a terrible father.
41:26I'm nothing like dad.
41:27Hey Drew, have you seen my key to the supply closet anywhere?
41:38It's exquisite.
41:39It changed my life.
41:47It's what made all this possible.
41:50When did you paint it?
41:52The night I met him.
41:54Before everything else.
41:58I was thinking about Vermeer's portraits.
42:01His use of light and contrast to create a whole world and essence of a person.
42:06What appears at first glance simple becomes increasingly intimate and exposes who the person is emotionally.
42:21I owe you an apology, Piper.
42:24And an explanation.
42:27The way I accused you of only going after Tate for his money.
42:32I only feared that because that's how I married my husband.
42:37I grew up with so little.
42:39Practically nothing, really.
42:41I vowed my children would not have the same fate.
42:44So you accused me of what you did?
42:47You went digging for gold?
42:48Only at first.
42:50But yes.
42:52I sought out Harrison for the security.
42:55So what happened after you got married?
42:58Did you tell him the truth or did you just live out a lie?
43:00After a few months, I was head over heels.
43:04Harrison 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.
43:13But I appreciate your honesty.
43:15Piper, I know that if given the chance, Tate would follow in his father's footsteps.
43:25You don't have to forgive me.
43:28But please, please let Tate be a part of his child's life.
43:35I'll think about it.
43:36Josie brought me.
43:53She must have really groveled.
43:55She did change my mind about something.
43:58I never grew up knowing my father.
44:01And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel that absence.
44:08So I'm willing to let you be in her life.
44:12On my terms.
44:18See you in a month.
44:19Wait.
44:20What?
44:22Well, the baby's not here yet.
44:24Yeah, but I want to be a good father now.
44:30What do you mean?
44:31Being a good father means taking care of the mother.
44:38Even if the child's not here yet.
44:42You can come over tonight.
44:45I need help building a crib.
44:48I'll be there.
44:49You're on the wrong page.
45:08I am not.
45:10If you would just let me help.
45:12No, Piper.
45:12Absolutely not.
45:14And don't make me send you to bed early.
45:15So how's your mom doing?
45:21Is there any chance for improvement?
45:24Not really.
45:26You know, she has good days, but it's mainly about managing the bad ones.
45:32Always worried that she's miserable.
45:33Well, she's nonverbal, so I have no way of knowing.
45:39Speaking of your mother, we, uh, we moved your for Elizabeth piece into the estate now that the foundation is shutting down.
45:50I heard.
45:51Why are you trying to shut down your father's work?
45:57The foundation was draining us.
45:58The family firm needs to expand.
46:00The word family comes first in that sentence for a reason.
46:03My dad would have loved you.
46:07He always put it in that order, too.
46:10Family, foundation, firm.
46:13So, if foundation comes before a firm, don't you think he'd want you to keep it open?
46:18Yeah, well, add it to the list of ways I'm letting him down.
46:23What else is on the list?
46:25Well, all he ever wanted was for me to be happy, and I'm not.
46:29Not since.
46:30What's wrong?
46:34Contractions.
46:35Are you going into labor?
46:38No, it's just, ooh, Braxton Hicks.
46:44It's like a sharp pain across my stomach and my lower back.
46:49Okay.
46:52Ooh.
46:57Better?
46:59Better.
47:00She's kicking.
47:05Can you feel it?
47:08Yeah, I can.
47:11She loves dancing around in there.
47:14Hopefully she's a better dancer than her mama.
47:20I have an idea.
47:28What are you doing?
47:29I am eight months pregnant, you psycho.
47:35Yes, and I heard that you're supposed to get 30 minutes of exercise a day.
47:39Hey, you're not stepping on my feet.
47:53Hey, you're not stepping on my feet.
47:56Well, there's a big belly in between us.
47:58God, Piper.
47:58I'm a beached whale.
47:59I'm a beached whale.
48:01I'm a beached whale.
48:02I'm a beached whale.
48:03God, Piper.
48:06What?
48:07If I thought you were sexy before.
48:09I'm a beached whale.
48:10I'm a beached whale.
48:11I'm a beached whale.
48:14You're perfect.
48:24Wait.
48:25No, I'm sorry.
48:26Piper.
48:26it's fine you have nothing to be sorry for co-parents we're not dating things with Delaney
48:36they're complicated they shouldn't be she's perfect for you we shouldn't have
48:45you should go come to my mother's birthday dinner tomorrow please Piper

50:24we're going to work with local artists in the community
50:29ones that have never had their own space
50:33it's going to be for them
50:35and that's not all
50:39I've been thinking about a lot these past few days
50:42especially what makes me happy
50:45it all comes down to family
50:48I want to follow in dad's footsteps
50:51do good
50:53be good

53:55I'm really scared

54:27I'm scared of how much I love you
54:33I love you too
54:38we hardly know each other
54:41it sounds crazy but
54:43I feel like you know me better than anyone else
54:47the real me

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
55:08that you and I never got to have
55:09Lizzie?
55:12yeah
55:13short for Elizabeth
55:15I thought it sounded right
55:18it sounds perfect
55:23my mom is so excited we're moving into the estate
55:35it's not exactly giving normal childhood
55:38well normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights of stairs Piper
55:42and besides
55:43there's more than enough room here for me
55:45you Lizzie and your mom
55:46she does seem more comfortable here
55:49I um
55:51I have a confession to make
55:53after the family doctor gave you the all clear
55:56I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists
56:00you did that?
56:02of course
56:03I talked to them
56:04and we came up with an action plan
56:06that should give Elizabeth more good days
56:08what kind of action plan?
56:10well a full-time in-house specialist for one
56:12and an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her
56:17plus
56:18something else that should help bring back some memories
56:22is that a piano?
56:40she's happy
