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 date you're really going to like.
00:26I gotta go.
00:30When I'm off the mill, ain't trying to puff me like a nigga in a rica.
00:33Moving through this shit like a TA with a chica.
00:36You claim that he ain't with me, but you're fucking out of free cards.
00:39Like, I just want to dance all night.
00:41Can't nobody do it just like I.
00:44I'm like, that's just what I like.
00:46Come on, baby, let's kiss on fire.
00:49What you want to do?
00:50Tell me what you like.
00:51What you want to do?
00:52Tell me what you like.
00:54What you want to do?
00:55Tell me what you like.
00:56Just stay away, baby.
00:58I'm looking as you were.
00:59What you want to do?
01:00Tell me what you like.
01:01I'm looking for you.
01:02What you want to do?
01:03Tell me what you like.
01:04What you want to do?
01:05Tell me what you like.
01:06What you want to do?
01:07Tell me what you like.
01:07What you want to do?
01:08Like I'm looking at a city, I thought I'm the one that I'm looking for.
01:09Looking for something?
01:11A date to my sister's wedding.
01:13I'll double your best payday and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
01:19Lucky for you, I do escort work on the side.
01:29Give my agency a call.
01:31I'm yours so long as you pay.
01:49Piper?
01:57That's me. You 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. You can trust me. I'm a professional.
02:16Well, I mean, you're an escort.
02:17It 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. I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
02:32Two for the price of one. Lucky you.
02:44So, what's the story of how we met?
02:47You said you're a professional, right?
02:49Make something up.
02:51If 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.
02:59Look, I realize that some of your other clients may find those kinds of jokes charming, but 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, why does Tate Young, the most eligible bachelor in the city, need an escort?
03:18And 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?
03:32It's nice to meet you, Ariana. I'm Piper.
03:39So?
03:40How did you two meet?
03:43Don't worry, babe. I'll tell her.
03:44I hosted a local artist charity auction last month, and 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, but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
04:06Oh.
04:08Mom's looking for you? I told her you were over here, so good luck.
04:10Mm. I'm gonna go make out with Dave.
04:20You 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.
04:30Aside from meeting you, of course.
04:32Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
04:37Hello.
04:38Oh. I don't believe you're on our guest list.
04:41Mom, come on. Is that anyone intrigued 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.
04:58And I was especially intrigued with how the artist signed it.
05:00No name, just for Elizabeth.
05:04A dedication to the artist's mother.
05:06Must be nice for a mother to feel appreciated.
05:11I tried to find the artist, but if that artist appreciates their anonymity...
05:16Oh.
05:18And how about you, dear?
05:19Do 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, thank goodness.
05:43Oh.
05:44So 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.
05:59All 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.
06:15Okay, so we've established that you're an enormous dork, which is probably why you have
06:24a 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.
06:32Stop.
06:33You sound like my mother.
06:35She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
06:38Oh.
06:39What kind of extremes?
06:40Trying to get me back together with my ex.
06:43Speaking of...
06:44Hey, baby, I 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.
07:06Well, T, 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.
07:14Delaney, 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?
07:34I mean, this family is worth millions.
07:36I'm sad that they couldn't throw you a decent wedding.
07:38If your father were alive to see his daughter...
07:40Delaney!
07:41You'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.
07:57You should learn to stay out of my business.
07:59Otherwise, I might start sniffing around yours.
08:02I 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.
08:26I meant what I said earlier.
08:27If we're gonna get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
08:29Your family's not gonna stop crying.
08:34Okay, 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.
08:54Boring.
08:56Oh, success is boring to you?
08:59I can find all that stuff on Google.
09:01I want to know who you really are.
09:04Okay.
09:05Um, I'm good at billiards.
09:08Oh, God.
09:09Just call it pool, like a normal person.
09:12A pool for swimming.
09:13Wow.
09:14Having a life of privilege really did a number on you, huh?
09:18Privilege is subjective.
09:19Well, money's not.
09:21And that makes all of the other problems a whole lot easier.
09:26Oh.
09:28What's this?
09:29Absolutely not.
09:31It does not say no escorts.
09:32A.B. honor roll.
09:47So you're a huge nerd.
09:48Briefly.
09:49I 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.
10:05Introspective.
10:08Mildly suicidal.
10:10Definitely depressing.
10:14Fine.
10:15There was this space camp that I begged my parents to attend.
10:20Finally, they agreed the summer before I went to high school.
10:24But, uh, while I was gone, my, uh, my father passed away.
10:30I'm so sorry for your loss.
10:32After 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.
10:58Are you okay?
11:02I 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.
11:18Your family is way too involved.
11:21It's too complicated.
11:22I 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.
11:42Open up as much as necessary.
11:44You don't want to keep lying to your 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.
11:57I'll talk to the agency.
12:00See if they can make arrangements.
12:02Thank you, Piper.
12:08Don't thank me yet.
12:11Look, I'd better go.
12:16Um.
12:16Oh, oh.
12:27Oh, oh.
12:29Oh, oh.
12:34Oh, oh.
12:37Oh, oh.
12:38Whenever you're away, I miss you.
12:58Yeah, the next two nights?
13:00Is Renee available?
13:03She's just so good with all the medications.
13:07Oh, good.
13:09Please tell her that I'll have my room ready for her.
13:11Oh, good.
13:14Oh, good.
13:16Oh, good.
13:18Oh, good.
13:20Oh, good.
13:24Oh, good.
13:26Oh, good.
13:28Oh, good.
13:30Oh, good.
13:33Oh, good.
13:35Oh, good.
13:37Oh, good.
13:39Oh, good.
13:42Oh, good.
13:45Oh, good.
13:47Oh, good.
13:49Oh, good.
13:51Oh, good.
13:53Oh, good.
13:54Oh, good.
13:56Oh, good.
13:58Oh, good.
14:00Oh, good.
14:02Oh, good.
14:03Oh, good.
14:04Oh, good.
14:05Oh, good.
14:06Oh, good.
14:07Oh, good.
14:08Oh, good.
14:09Oh, good.
14:10Oh, good.
14:11Oh, good.
14:12Oh, good.
14:13Oh, good.
14:14Oh, good.
14:15It's changing me
14:19Shit
14:39Fuck
14:45Text date.
14:55I can't make it to the wedding today.
14:57I'm sorry.
14:58I'll return your money now.
15:00Send.
15:07Not an option.
15:09Contract is signed with the agency.
15:12See you at 11 a.m.
15:13Fuck.
15:15Oh.
15:22Hello?
15:24There you are.
15:26Sorry, I couldn't hear the gate.
15:28It was open, but I'm here and having a colossally bad hair day.
15:35Okay, well, you can't wear a hat to the wedding.
15:39It can't be that bad.
15:40Let me see it.
15:42It's that bad.
15:43No one can see.
15:44Show me.
15:45I'm sorry, uh...
15:56Wow.
16:00What are you doing?
16:02Just trust me, okay?
16:04I grew up with a sister.
16:05So how did this happen, anyway?
16:10I fell asleep painting, which I haven't done since I was a kid.
16:15I'm surprised you had the energy to paint after everything yesterday.
16:18I was inspired.
16:19I know what you mean.
16:23You know we have staff for that sort of thing.
16:32Yes, and I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this.
16:37You're in a good mood.
16:39It's a good day.
16:40It's Piper, isn't it?
16:42I was skeptical, but 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.
17:00Hey, what are you doing with those flowers?
17:02Of course.
17:22Ready?
17:22Dave, when we first met, we agreed we felt like teenagers again.
17:35Energized.
17:36Invincible.
17:38But as we fell in love, I felt more like a little kid again.
17:42Full of wonder.
17:45And hope.
17:46I had absolute faith in you because I felt absolutely cherished.
17:50Just like I did when I was small.
17:54My father taught me that unconditional love was possible.
17:59And I know you're the only man he'd trust his little girl to.
18:05Because you love all versions of me.
18:09Unconditionally.
18:12And I vow to love you just the same.
18:16Young or old.
18:17Richer, poorer.
18:21In sickness and in health.
18:24Forever.
18:28Oh, shit.
18:29You were absolutely crying.
18:31I was not.
18:32Okay, I may have shed a tear, but 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, Viper, I swear...
18:40No, no, no.
18:41Not that.
18:42Is that Sebastian Rockwell?
18:45The art critic?
18:46I'm kind of obsessed with him.
18:47Hey, Bash!
18:48Tate, no.
18:51Tate.
18:53Beautiful ceremony.
18:54Thank you so much, my friend.
18:55Sebastian, I want you to meet someone.
18:57This is Piper Manning.
18:59It'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 made me cry.
19:11You're too kind.
19:12Are you an artist yourself?
19:14I'm a painter.
19:16Send me some photos of your work.
19:18I'd love to know more about the woman who stole Tate Young's heart.
19:23Excuse me, I have to take this.
19:26Connect us.

19:52No.
19:53Ariana said everyone had to dance, and that includes you and me.
19:57You don't want to piss off the bride, do you?

22:51Uh, of course.
22:59It was a gift from my dad.
23:01Oh.
23:02Are you sure you want me to wear it?
23:05Don't be silly.
23:07It looks good on you.
23:15Okay, who's being silly now?
23:17Just trying to be respectful.
23:19I feel respected.
23:21Now, can we sleep in the bed?
23:24Like adults?
23:29Hardwood floor, huh?
23:31Honestly, you're stiff enough as it is.
23:33T?
23:46T?
23:48Yeah?
23:50I was just seeing if you were awake.
23:54You can't sleep?
24:06Not really.
24:10You?
24:10No.
24:16Everything is...
24:19racing.
24:26Is this okay?
24:33Everything's racing for me, too.
24:34Is this okay?
24:47Is this okay?
25:17Wow, your dad was a babe.
25:47What happened to you?
25:50Okay, okay. I'm kidding. You're a babe, too.
25:53All right, come on. Let me see a picture of your mom.
25:55Oh, my God. She was stunning.
26:06Okay. You 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.
26:22Anytime I heard that music, I knew that she was happy.
26:24I had to sell it, the piano, when she got sick.
26:32Look, I haven't forgiven myself since that.
26:40I see some of your paintings sometime.
26:42You really don't spend enough time at your family's foundation.
26:48You've been talking to my mother, haven't you?
26:50The painting she bought for Elizabeth, it's mine.
26:55It was for my mom.
26:56You're incredible.
27:10Okay.
27:11So, is it like this with all your other clients?
27:19Not usually.
27:21This feels personal.
27:25Yeah, for me, too.
27:28Then me working for you creates a problematic power dynamic.
27:35Now, there's a word every man wants to hear in the bedroom.
27:38Not just for me, for both of us.
27:42You know?
27:43How do I know that you don't just want sex?
27:45And how do you know that I don't just want a paycheck?
27:51Looks like I'm not the only one with trust issues.
27:54Am I wrong?
27:56Well, I mean, you said after this weekend you might not be an escort anymore.
28:04So then what?
28:05So then I will take you out on a date.
28:12I don't know if I fit in here.
28:15You know, with your family.
28:17And your world.
28:19Hey.
28:22Then I will make space for you.
28:24Get 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.
28:46It's not like that.
28:46I trusted you.
28:48And you lied to my face about using my son.
28:51I'm sorry I had to lie to you, but I was never using him.
28:54You're trespassing.
28:56Get off my property before I call the police.
28:58All right.
28:59Listen.
28:59There is no need to be so dramatic.
29:01All right?
29:02I wanted a professional, so I hired one.
29:04Okay?
29:05End of story.
29:06Professional?
29:07You knew?
29:08Tate.
29:09I see the way you look at her.
29:12This woman has you eating out of the palm of her hand.
29:15And she lied to you, Tate.
29:17What do you mean she lied to me?
29:19Josie, please.
29:20Her mother's alive.
29:21Not 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?
29:34It is, but...
29:35So much for really getting to know each other, huh?
29:36Can we please just talk about this privately?
29:40Why?
29:40So you can spin more lies, get off my property, or I'll call the police.
29:46Tate.
29:48Just leave.
29:51Before it gets any worse.
29:57So 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?
30:13Enough.
30:14Now we have to spin damage control.
30:17Delaney promised not to leak it to the press if you meet with her for a chat.
30:21Piper.
30:27Hey, Piper.
30:28What the hell do you want?
30:30How could you lie to me?
30:31I don't owe you an explanation.
30:33How could you let your mother say those things to me?
30:35Yeah, well, maybe she was right.
30:37You never cared about me.
30:38You only cared about using me for my money and my connections.
30:41But what else should I have expected from an escort?
30:44You sell your body for money.
30:45Piper, I didn't mean that.
30:51I'm sorry I went too far.
30:52No.
30:54You know what?
30:54You're right.
30:55I 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.
31:06Hey, Renee.
31:34Is everything okay with my mom?
31:37Oh, good.
31:39Sure.
31:40I'll stop by the pharmacy on the way home.
31:43No problem.
31:44Bye.
31:47Congratulations, Michelangela.
31:48Oh, my gosh.
31:49You're so sweet.
31:50You did not have to do that.
31:52Of course I did.
31:53We have to celebrate you coming all this way all on your own.
31:56Well, not all on my own.
31:58How is our little one doing today?
32:01Crushing my bladder, as a matter of fact.
32:03This is incredible, Piper.
32:08And you said you were going into business on your own.
32:12I had no idea.
32:13It was partially thanks to your wedding.
32:18Am I your muse?
32:19I 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.
32:31Well, he 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.
32:46Between that and you agreeing to keep this a secret, you have definitely earned your best
32:52friend's back.
32:53Well, it's not hard to keep a secret when you barely speak to your family.
32:56It's okay.
32:59It's good, actually.
33:01After the way they treated you, I finally drew some boundaries.
33:05No more meddling from mom.
33:06No more watching Tate destroy the legacy my father created.
33:11How is he?
33:13From what I can tell, miserable.
33:16And he's making everybody around him miserable, too.
33:24He's shutting down Dad's foundation.
33:34This 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.
33:43Our first European office.
33:45Our London office is in Europe.
33:49We can spend the summers vacationing on the Seine.
33:53Ugh, the Seine is filthy.
33:55I'll take a tour when I visit next week.
34:09What the hell is this?
34:12That's the ring you're going to use to propose to me.
34:14We'll announce the good news when I'm back.
34:18Don't worry.
34:19I like a surprise.
34:20Hello.
34:38Is there anyone here to help me?
34:40I'd love to purchase a piece.
34:42Be out in a sec.
34:44Take your time, dear.
34:46I think you're showing an artist that I've been trying to find for the past year.
34:51You have no idea how hard it is to track him down.
34:55He never signs his paintings.
34:59I didn't realize he was being shown in a gallery.
35:03I think I saw one of his paintings in your catalog.
35:06It resembled the one I purchased last year.
35:09What 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.
35:24Now get off of my property before I call the police.
35:28Wait.
35:29Wait.
35:31Judging from your appearance, I think I should stay.
35:34I don't have to take your insults anymore.
35:36If 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.
36:17And just because I don't have the same resources as you,
36:20doesn't mean I can't give her the best damn life possible.
36:23She's going to be happy and healthy,
36:26and she will never have the misfortune of meeting you.
36:30Now please leave.
36:31Leave.
36:38Thanks for coming by.
36:41I 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-tripped me about shutting down Dad's foundation.
36:52I don't want to argue with you either.
36:55I just want to ask,
36:58have you ever heard from Piper again?
37:01What?
37:03No.
37:04Why?
37:05I heard she opened her own gallery.
37:08Good for her.
37:09I 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,
37:21and 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?
38:28My mother told me.
38:31How did you find me?
38:34We have a PI 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.
38:47Is 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.
43:15I, Piper, 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, what?
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, absolutely not.
45:13And 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...
45:28It's mainly about managing the bad ones.
45:32Always worried that she's miserable.
45:34She's nonverbal, so...
45:36I have no way of knowing.
45:42Speaking of your mother...
45:44We, uh...
45:45We 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 firm, don't you think he'd want you to keep it open?
46:18Yeah, well...
46:19Add 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.
46:28And I'm not.
46:29Not since...
46:30Oh.
46:30What's wrong?
46:34Contractions.
46:35Are you going into labor?
46:38No, it's just...
46:40Ooh, Braxton Hicks.
46:44It's like a sharp pain across my stomach and my lower back.
46:48Yeah.
46:52Ooh.
46:56Better?
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.
47:21What are you doing?
47:33I am eight months pregnant, you psycho.
47:35Yes, and I heard that you're supposed to get 30 minutes of exercise a day.
47:39Yeah.
47:51You're not stepping on my feet.
47:54You're not stepping on my feet.
47:55Well, there's a big belly in between us.
47:57God, Piper
48:04What?
48:07If I thought you were sexy before
48:09I'm a beached whale
48:12You were perfect
48:16Wait, no, I'm sorry, Piper
48:26It's fine
48:27You have nothing to be sorry for
48:30Co-parents, we're not dating
48:33Things with Delaney
48:36They're complicated
48:38They shouldn't be
48:39She's perfect for you
48:42We shouldn't have
48:45You should go
48:47Come to my mother's birthday dinner tomorrow
48:50Please, Piper
48:54I'll come
48:56I want a good relationship with your mom
48:58And what about a relationship with me?

55:56I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists
56:00you did that?
56:02of course
56:03I talked to them

56:08what kind of action plan?
56:10well
56:10a full-time in-house specialist for one
56:12and an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her

56:40Tate I can tell she's happy
56:44we usually came right back to her
56:46the doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what
