00:00:00That I'm focused on work, that I don't need to parade
00:00:03around a stranger.
00:00:08Delaney, mom, she's my ex for a reason.
00:00:16Actually, you know what?
00:00:19I think I found a date you're really going to like.
00:00:23I got to go.
00:00:30I think I'm going to be in a rick, moving through this shit.
00:00:31Like, the T.A. with a cheer card.
00:00:33You claim they hate me, but they're fucking out of fear.
00:00:35Cause I was like, I just want to dance all night.
00:00:38Can't nobody do it just like I.
00:00:41You got just what I like.
00:00:44Come on baby, let's kiss on fire.
00:00:46What you want to do?
00:00:47Tell me what you like.
00:00:48What you want to do?
00:00:50Tell me what you like.
00:00:51What you want to do?
00:00:52Tell me what you like.
00:00:54Just say the word, baby, I'ma get you here.
00:00:56What you want to do?
00:00:57Tell me what you like.
00:00:59What you want to do, tell me what you're looking for.
00:01:03What you want to do, tell me what you're looking for.
00:01:05Looking for something?
00:01:07A date to my sister's wedding.
00:01:10I'll double your best payday,
00:01:13and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
00:01:17Lucky for you, I do escort work on the side.
00:01:24Give my agency a call.
00:01:28I'm yours so long as you pay.
00:01:52Piper?
00:01:54That's me. You must be Tate.
00:01:57Thanks for meeting me at the service entrance.
00:02:00The agency filled you in, yes?
00:02:02You need to be at the top of your game tonight.
00:02:04My mother will be watching me like a hawk.
00:02:07Hopefully, with you there, she won't be trying to set me up with anyone.
00:02:10Of course, Mr. Young. You can trust me. I'm a professional.
00:02:13Well, I mean, you're an escort. It doesn't exactly require an MBA.
00:02:18And hiring an escort doesn't exactly require more than a dick and a credit card.
00:02:23Really just a credit card.
00:02:26That's funny. I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
00:02:29Two for the price of one. Lucky you.
00:02:42So, what's the story of how we met?
00:02:45You said you're a professional, right? Make something up.
00:02:49If we want to pull this off, we're going to have to have a story.
00:02:52You said yourself that your mother's going to be watching.
00:02:55Unless you want me to tell her the truth.
00:02:57Look, I realize that some of your other clients may find those kinds of jokes charming.
00:03:04But I need you to take this seriously, okay?
00:03:07My reputation's at stake here.
00:03:09You know, on my way over here, I was wondering,
00:03:12why does Tate Young, the most eligible bachelor in the city, need an escort?
00:03:16And I'm starting to understand why.
00:03:19Tate! You came!
00:03:22It's your rehearsal dinner. What'd you expect?
00:03:24Well, you always seem to find some excuse.
00:03:29And you are?
00:03:34It's nice to meet you, Ariana. I'm Piper.
00:03:37So?
00:03:38How did you two meet?
00:03:41Don't worry, babe. I'll tell her.
00:03:44I hosted a local artist charity auction last month,
00:03:47and the Young Family Foundation bid on a painting for their lobby.
00:03:51I supervised the installation, and Tate was there.
00:03:55The rest is history.
00:03:57Oh.
00:03:58Tate never usually spends time at the foundation.
00:04:01It was our father's passion project, but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
00:04:05Oh.
00:04:06Mom's looking for you? I told her you were over here, so good luck.
00:04:10Mmm.
00:04:11I'm gonna go make out with Dave.
00:04:18You know, I gotta say.
00:04:20It's a little scary how good of a liar you are.
00:04:22Oh, Tate.
00:04:23We have got to work on your trust issues.
00:04:26That whole story was true.
00:04:28Aside from meeting you, of course.
00:04:30Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
00:04:34Hello.
00:04:37I don't believe you're on our guest list.
00:04:40Mom, come on.
00:04:41Is that anyone who treat my date?
00:04:44It's lovely to meet you, Mrs. Young.
00:04:46I was just telling your daughter that you bid on a painting at a local art auction I held last month.
00:04:52You hosted that?
00:04:54That painting spoke to me immediately.
00:04:57And I was especially intrigued with how the artist signed it.
00:05:00No name, just for Elizabeth.
00:05:04A dedication to the artist's mother.
00:05:06Must be nice for a mother to feel appreciated.
00:05:11I tried to find the artist, but if that artist appreciates their anonymity.
00:05:16Oh.
00:05:17And how about you, dear?
00:05:19Do you appreciate your anonymity as well?
00:05:22I'm an open book.
00:05:24Ask me anything.
00:05:26Oh.
00:05:27Where did you grow up?
00:05:29New York.
00:05:30Did you attend college?
00:05:31Princeton.
00:05:32College and graduate school for my MFA.
00:05:36Whoa.
00:05:37Poor dear.
00:05:38You must be drowning in student debt.
00:05:40Actually, my family didn't have to take out any loans, thank goodness.
00:05:43Oh.
00:05:44So you're comfortable.
00:05:45My mother was at the top of her field, so yes, we were comfortable.
00:05:50I see.
00:05:51We'll all have to have lunch together.
00:05:53Um, my mother is unfortunately no longer with us.
00:05:59All right.
00:06:00Okay.
00:06:01Enough with the third degree.
00:06:02I think Piper deserves a breather.
00:06:04I'll give her a tour of the house.
00:06:06Nice meeting you.
00:06:08You too.
00:06:09Okay.
00:06:10So, we've established that you're an enormous dork, which is probably why you have a hard time with the ladies.
00:06:27I prefer to focus on my work.
00:06:29Hmm.
00:06:30You know they have support groups for that kind of thing.
00:06:33Stop.
00:06:34You sound like my mother.
00:06:35She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
00:06:39Oh.
00:06:40What kind of extremes?
00:06:41Trying to get me back together with my ex.
00:06:44Speaking of the-
00:06:45Tank, baby.
00:06:46I missed you.
00:06:49Delaney?
00:06:50This is-
00:06:51Piper.
00:06:52His girlfriend.
00:06:53Delaney Hughes.
00:06:55His first love.
00:06:56Is that right?
00:06:57See, you're still trying to replace me, huh?
00:07:00What app did you find this one on?
00:07:03Piper is in the arts.
00:07:05That's where we met.
00:07:06And Delaney here is a lawyer at the firm.
00:07:08Well, T, that's not all I am, and you know it.
00:07:11We dated all throughout high school and college.
00:07:13And then we broke up.
00:07:15Hmm?
00:07:16Delaney, why are you here?
00:07:17Oh, don't be like that.
00:07:18You know Josie and I have always been close.
00:07:20Why, I'm practically family.
00:07:22And who knows, maybe someday I will be.
00:07:24Delaney, when I'm here, I'm here.
00:07:25Delaney, what are you doing here?
00:07:27Thank God I came, right?
00:07:28I mean, it doesn't look like there was much of a turnout.
00:07:31We kept the guest list intimate.
00:07:33We didn't want anything to-
00:07:34Expensive?
00:07:35I mean, this family is worth millions.
00:07:37I'm sad that they couldn't bring you a decent wedding.
00:07:39If your father were alive to see his daughter-
00:07:41Delaney!
00:07:43Yes?
00:07:44You're drunk.
00:07:46I'll call you a car.
00:07:48Don't be silly.
00:07:50Go, Delaney.
00:07:51I didn't invite you here.
00:07:52Your mother did.
00:07:53Well, it's not her wedding, is it?
00:07:55The car's five minutes away.
00:07:56Feel free to wait outside.
00:07:58You should learn to stay out of my business.
00:08:01Otherwise, I might start sniffing around yours.
00:08:11I hope this isn't too forward, but can we be best friends already?
00:08:14Not too forward at all.
00:08:15Sorry about Delaney.
00:08:16It's okay.
00:08:17Or it will be.
00:08:18As long as you keep this girl around.
00:08:22I meant what I said earlier.
00:08:25If we're gonna get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
00:08:28Your family's not gonna stop crying.
00:08:29Okay, fine.
00:08:30I graduated from Columbia.
00:08:31Summa cum laude.
00:08:32Interned at Goldman Sachs.
00:08:33Became the youngest CEO in the firm's history.
00:08:34Made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
00:08:35And now, I'm expected to carry on a tradition of excellence.
00:08:37Mmm.
00:08:38Boring.
00:08:39Oh, success is boring to you?
00:08:42I can find all that stuff on Google.
00:08:43I wanna know who you really are.
00:08:44Okay, fine.
00:08:45Okay, fine.
00:08:46I graduated from Columbia.
00:08:47Summa cum laude.
00:08:48Interned at Goldman Sachs.
00:08:49Became the youngest CEO in the firm's history.
00:08:52Made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
00:08:54And now, I'm expected to carry on a tradition of excellence.
00:08:59Oh, success is boring to you?
00:09:02I can find all that stuff on Google.
00:09:05I want to know who you really are.
00:09:07Okay, um, I'm good at billiards.
00:09:11Oh, God.
00:09:12Just call it pool, like a normal person.
00:09:15A pool for swimming.
00:09:16Wow.
00:09:17Having a life of privilege really did a number on you, huh?
00:09:21Privilege is subjective.
00:09:23Well, money's not, and that makes all of the other problems a whole lot easier.
00:09:29Oh, what's this?
00:09:32Absolutely not.
00:09:34It does not say no escorts.
00:09:40Oh.
00:09:48A.B. Honor roll.
00:09:50So you're a huge nerd.
00:09:52Briefly.
00:09:54I loved space, anyway.
00:09:57What the hell happened?
00:09:59What do you mean?
00:10:00Based on my research, I couldn't find a single photo where you actually looked happy.
00:10:05And that Forbes 30 under 30 profile.
00:10:08It was thoughtful.
00:10:10Introspective.
00:10:11Mildly suicidal.
00:10:13Definitely depressing.
00:10:14Fine.
00:10:44Yes, you know.
00:10:47That set it down here with us.
00:11:04Are you okay?
00:11:05I should get back to the party before my mother comes looking.
00:11:10So you're coming to the wedding tomorrow, right?
00:11:20I don't work multi-day job.
00:11:23Plus, I don't think I should.
00:11:25Your family is way too involved.
00:11:28It's too complicated.
00:11:29I thought you said you were a professional.
00:11:32You'll have to make up an excuse.
00:11:35Or give them my apologies.
00:11:38I'm sorry, Tate.
00:11:39Really.
00:11:42I'll double your rate.
00:11:48And I'll do whatever you say.
00:11:50Open up as much as necessary.
00:11:52You don't want to keep lying to your family, Tate.
00:11:55I mean, what's your big plan here?
00:11:57You know, for once, I'm not trying to strategize ten steps ahead.
00:12:01I know what I want right now.
00:12:05I'll talk to the agency.
00:12:08See if they can make arrangements.
00:12:15Thank you, Piper.
00:12:17Don't thank me yet.
00:12:19Look, I gotta go.
00:12:24Um.
00:12:27I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:12:57Whenever you're awake, I miss you.
00:13:10Yeah, the next two nights?
00:13:12Is Renee available?
00:13:15She's just so good with all the medications.
00:13:19Oh, good.
00:13:21Please tell her that I'll have my room ready for her.
00:13:58Wow oh oh
00:13:59Was Robbie
00:14:00High and lighten
00:14:04So tell me
00:14:05What you need
00:14:09Cause I
00:14:11Can't take it
00:14:13The algumas
00:14:15Essays
00:14:17Are
00:14:18Oh, I am right in, so tell me what you need
00:14:29Cause I can't take it, the way this is changing me
00:14:48Shit
00:15:04Fuck
00:15:18Text Tate, I can't make it to the wedding today, I'm sorry, I'll return your money now, send
00:15:26Not an option, contract is signed with the agency, see you at 11am
00:15:38Fuck
00:15:40Hello
00:15:49There you are, sorry I couldn't hear the gate
00:15:54It was open, but I'm here, and having a colossally bad hair day
00:16:00Okay, well you can't wear a hat to the wedding, it can't be that bad, let me see it
00:16:07It's that bad, no one can see
00:16:10Show me
00:16:11I'm sorry, uh, wow
00:16:22What are you doing?
00:16:29Just trust me, okay, I grew up with a sister
00:16:31So how did this happen anyway?
00:16:35I fell asleep painting, which I haven't done since I was a kid
00:16:41I'm surprised you had the energy to paint after everything yesterday
00:16:44I was inspired
00:16:46I know what you mean
00:16:49You know we have staff for that sort of thing
00:16:59Yes, and I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this
00:17:03You're in a good mood
00:17:05It's a good day
00:17:07It's Piper, isn't it?
00:17:10I was skeptical
00:17:11But I see how happy she makes you
00:17:15Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this, okay?
00:17:19Your father would have liked her
00:17:20I like her too
00:17:24Hey, what are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:29Hey, what are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:33Ready?
00:17:50Dave
00:17:57When we first met, we agreed we felt like teenagers again
00:18:01Energized
00:18:03Convincible
00:18:05But as we fell in love, I felt more like a little kid again
00:18:09Full of wonder
00:18:11And hope
00:18:13I had absolute faith in you because I felt absolutely cherished
00:18:18Just like I did when I was small
00:18:20My father taught me that unconditional love was possible
00:18:25And I know you're the only man he'd trust his little girl to
00:18:31Because you love all versions of me
00:18:35Unconditionally
00:18:38And I vow to love you just the same
00:18:42Young or old
00:18:45Richer, poorer
00:18:47In sickness and in health
00:18:50Forever
00:18:53Bullshit
00:18:58You were absolutely crying
00:19:00I was not
00:19:01Okay, I may have shed a tear
00:19:03But she's my baby sister and she was getting married
00:19:05I think I'm entitled to
00:19:06Oh my god
00:19:07Okay, if you make this a big deal, Piper
00:19:09I swear
00:19:10No, no, no, not that
00:19:10Is that?
00:19:12Sebastian Rockwell
00:19:13The art critic
00:19:14I'm kind of obsessed with him
00:19:16Hey, Bash
00:19:17Tate, no
00:19:18Tate, beautiful ceremony
00:19:29Thank you so much, my friend
00:19:31Sebastian, I want you to meet someone
00:19:32This is Piper Manning
00:19:34It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Rothwell
00:19:36I've been reading your writing for years
00:19:39That piece you wrote on the Edward Hopper retrospective at the Whitney made me cry
00:19:45You're too kind
00:19:46You're too kind
00:19:47Are you an artist yourself?
00:19:49I'm a painter
00:19:50Send me some photos of your work
00:19:53I'd love to know more about the woman who stole Tate Young's heart
00:19:56Excuse me, I have to take this
00:20:01Connect us
00:20:02So, did you save a dance for me?
00:20:25I don't dance
00:20:27What?
00:20:29No
00:20:29Ariana said everyone had to dance
00:20:31And that includes you and me
00:20:33You don't want to piss off the bride, do you?
00:20:36How'd you get so good at this?
00:20:53I've attended way too many of these formal events
00:20:55So I've not picked up a thing or two
00:20:56Oh
00:20:58Oh
00:20:59Is that your foot?
00:21:02How are you so bad at this?
00:21:04Dancing is not one of my skills
00:21:06So how did you get into escorted?
00:21:13I needed help with my mom's medical bills
00:21:16And the pay was great
00:21:18And I didn't mind escaping my reality from time to time
00:21:23Turns out
00:21:25When you're not born into a multi-million dollar family, life's kind of hard
00:21:30So having a concierge doctor isn't the norm?
00:21:34I was kind of hoping that this would be my last gig
00:21:38I want to spend more time at home
00:21:41Get a remote job or something
00:21:44Job is a job
00:21:45There's nothing wrong with doing what it takes to survive
00:21:48But for what it's worth
00:21:51I hope I'm your last assignment too
00:21:54How about a photo of the happy couple
00:21:58Get cozy
00:22:03Come on Tate, give her a kiss
00:22:07You have a plan
00:22:08You have a plan
00:22:10Okay, have a good evening, little Burbs.
00:22:36What was that for?
00:22:40Stay with me, Ty.
00:22:44Okay, I thought that kind of has squared.
00:22:47We don't have to.
00:22:51I just want to spend more time with you.
00:22:54Please.
00:22:55Is it me?
00:23:14Sure.
00:23:14Sure.
00:23:14Do you have a shirt for me to wear?
00:23:30Right.
00:23:31Uh, of course.
00:23:32It was a gift from my dad.
00:23:40Oh.
00:23:41Are you sure you want me to wear it?
00:23:44Don't be silly.
00:23:51Looks good on you.
00:23:52Okay, who's being silly now?
00:23:57Just trying to be respectful.
00:23:58I feel respected.
00:24:00Now, can we sleep in the bed?
00:24:03Like adults?
00:24:08Hardwood floor, huh?
00:24:10Honestly, you're stiff enough as it is.
00:24:12T?
00:24:26T?
00:24:28Yeah?
00:24:30I was just...
00:24:32seeing if you were awake.
00:24:37You can't sleep?
00:24:38Not really.

00:24:59racing.
00:25:06Is this okay?
00:25:08Everything is racing for me, too.
00:25:27Is this okay?
00:25:28Everything is racing for me, too.
00:25:33I'm sorry.
00:25:35Let me sit there.
00:25:36I'm sorry.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:39I'm sorry?
00:25:43What am I not going to do?
00:25:49I want to be finished
00:25:49on theè¶³.
00:25:51I want to 먹고 to go out my online.
00:25:55We can come back.
00:25:56Hmm.
00:25:58Hmm.
00:26:00Hmm.
00:26:02Hmm.
00:26:04Got it.
00:26:20Hmm.
00:26:22Hmm.
00:26:26Wow.
00:26:28Your dad was a babe.
00:26:30What happened to you?
00:26:32Okay, okay. I'm kidding.
00:26:34You're a babe, too.
00:26:36Alright, come on. Let me see a picture of your mom.
00:26:46Oh my god.
00:26:48She was stunning.
00:26:50You really miss her, don't you?
00:26:52I know it sounds weird, but I really miss her playing the piano.
00:26:58I used to come home from school and I could hear it all the way from our building hallway.
00:27:04Anytime I heard that music, I knew that she was happy.
00:27:08I had to sell it, the piano, when she got sick.
00:27:16I haven't forgiven myself since then.
00:27:22I see some of your paintings sometime.
00:27:24You really don't spend enough time at your family's foundation.
00:27:28You've been talking to my mother, haven't you?
00:27:30The painting she bought?
00:27:32For Elizabeth?
00:27:34It's mine.
00:27:36It was for my mom.
00:27:38You're incredible.
00:27:42You're incredible.
00:27:52Okay.
00:27:56So is it like this with all your other clients?
00:28:00What?
00:28:04Not usually.
00:28:06This feels... personal.
00:28:10Yeah, for me too.
00:28:12Then me...
00:28:14working for you creates a problematic power dynamic.
00:28:18Now there's a word every man wants to hear in the bedroom.
00:28:22Not just for me.
00:28:24For both of us.
00:28:26You know?
00:28:28How do I know that you don't just want sex?
00:28:30And how do you know that I don't just want a paycheck?
00:28:34Looks like I'm not the only one with trust issues.
00:28:38Am I wrong?
00:28:40Well, I mean, you said after this weekend you might not be an escort anymore.
00:28:48So then what?
00:28:51So then I will take you out on a date.
00:28:56I don't know if I fit in here.
00:28:59You know, with your family.
00:29:01And your... world.
00:29:04Hey.
00:29:06Then I will make space for you.
00:29:10Get away from my son.
00:29:21What are you talking about, Mom?
00:29:23I just received a disturbing email from Delaney with attachments from an escort service.
00:29:29Did you know about this?
00:29:31About this gold digger?
00:29:32Calm down.
00:29:33It's not like that.
00:29:34I trusted you.
00:29:35And you lied to my face about using my son.
00:29:38I'm sorry I had to lie to you, but I was never using him.
00:29:41You're trespassing.
00:29:43Get off my property before I call the police.
00:29:45All right.
00:29:46Listen.
00:29:47There is no need to be so dramatic.
00:29:48All right?
00:29:49I wanted a professional, so I hired one.
00:29:51Okay?
00:29:52End of story.
00:29:54Professional?
00:29:55You knew?
00:29:56Tate.
00:29:57I see the way you look at her.
00:29:59This woman has you eating out of the palm of her hand.
00:30:02And she lied to you, Tate.
00:30:04What do you mean she lied to me?
00:30:06Josie, please.
00:30:09Josie, please.
00:30:10Her mother's alive.
00:30:11Not dead, if she led us to believe.
00:30:14She lied about something like this?
00:30:16How can we believe anything she has to say?
00:30:20Is that true?
00:30:24It is, but...
00:30:25So much for really getting to know each other, huh?
00:30:27Can we please just talk about this privately?
00:30:30Why?
00:30:31So you can spin more lies, get off my property, or I'll call the police.
00:30:37Tate.
00:30:39Just leave.
00:30:41Before it gets any worse.
00:30:48So much for making space for me.
00:30:50Think about our family's future.
00:30:57What would your father think of this?
00:30:59A prostitute for a daughter-in-law?
00:31:02Enough.
00:31:04Now we have to spin damage control.
00:31:07Delaney promised not to leak it to the press if you meet with her for a chat.
00:31:21Piper.
00:31:22Hey, Piper.
00:31:23What the hell do you want?
00:31:25How could you lie to me?
00:31:26I don't owe you an explanation.
00:31:28How could you let your mother say those things to me?
00:31:30Yeah, well, maybe she was right.
00:31:31You never cared about me.
00:31:32You only cared about using me for my money and my connections.
00:31:36But what else should I have expected from an escort?
00:31:39You sell your body for money.
00:31:43Piper, I didn't mean that.
00:31:45I'm sorry I went too far.
00:31:46No.
00:31:48You know what?
00:31:49Well, you're right.
00:31:51I am just an escort.
00:31:53And you're just another client.
00:31:56This was just business.
00:31:58And we are done here.
00:32:00Piper, wait.
00:32:19Hey, Renee, is everything okay with my mom?
00:32:31Oh, good.
00:32:33Sure.
00:32:34I'll stop by the pharmacy on the way home.
00:32:37No problem.
00:32:38Bye.
00:32:40Congratulations, Michelangela.
00:32:42Oh, my gosh.
00:32:43You're so sweet.
00:32:44You did not have to do that.
00:32:45Of course I did.
00:32:47We have to celebrate you coming all this way all on your own.
00:32:50Well, not all on my own.
00:32:53How is our little one doing today?
00:32:55Crushing my bladder, as a matter of fact.
00:32:57This is incredible, Piper.
00:33:03You said you were going into business on your own.
00:33:06I had no idea.
00:33:08It was partially thanks to your wedding.
00:33:12Am I your muse?
00:33:15I did feel inspired that weekend.
00:33:18It was the first time I was able to paint in over a year.
00:33:23And Tate introduced me to Sebastian Rothwell.
00:33:26He loved one of my new pieces, wrote an article about it,
00:33:30and then I had requests and commissions just flooding in.
00:33:34So, thanks for getting married.
00:33:37Well, thank you for letting me be in your life.
00:33:39Between that and you agreeing to keep this a secret,
00:33:45you have definitely earned your best friend's spot.
00:33:48Well, it's not hard to keep a secret when you barely speak to your family.
00:33:53It's okay.
00:33:54It's good, actually.
00:33:56After the way they treated you, I finally drew some boundaries.
00:34:00No more meddling from Mom.
00:34:01No more watching Tate destroy the legacy my father created.
00:34:06How is he?
00:34:07From what I can tell.
00:34:10Miserable.
00:34:12And he's making everybody around him miserable, too.
00:34:18He's shutting down Dad's foundation.
00:34:20This gorgeous new property just opened up in the 7th.
00:34:32Overpriced, no doubt.
00:34:34Without the foundation bleeding our firm dry, we can afford it.
00:34:37Our first European office.
00:34:41Our London office is in Europe.
00:34:44We can spend the summers vacationing on the Seine.
00:34:48Ugh, the Seine is filthy.
00:34:50I'll take a tour when I visit next week.
00:34:52What the hell is this?
00:35:06That's the ring you're going to use to propose to me.
00:35:10We'll announce the good news when I'm back.
00:35:11Don't worry.
00:35:12I like to surprise.
00:35:13Hello.

00:35:21I think you're showing an artist that I've been trying to find for the past year.
00:35:23You have no idea how hard it is to track him down.
00:35:26He never is.
00:35:28But I think the time would be something that I have been trying to build.
00:35:30hello is there anyone here to help me I'd love to purchase a piece take your time dear I think

00:36:41you do this to trap him you're coming after child support aren't you Tate doesn't know and I don't
00:36:48need his support why didn't you tell him because I want nothing to do with the youngs as you can see
00:36:57I'm thriving on my own even as an escort I was fine and I refused to bring my daughter into a family that
00:37:04views me or her as a shameful mistake you're having a little girl yes I'm having a girl and just because
00:37:14I don't have the same resources as you doesn't mean I can't give her the best damn life possible
00:37:19she's gonna be happy and healthy and she will never have the misfortune of meeting you now please leave
00:37:34thanks for coming by I needed access to all of dad's files on the foundation that's the only
00:37:41reason I'm here I don't want to argue with you is that all you think I do either that or you guilt
00:37:47trip me about shutting down dad's foundation I don't want to argue with you either I just want to ask
00:37:54have you ever heard from Piper again what no why I heard she opened her own gallery

00:38:15don't understand you first you throw her out of the house and now you're trying to set us up

00:40:00Alzheimer's her care nearly drove me to bankruptcy but that's in the past now I'm fully capable of
00:40:12supporting my family all on my own
00:40:14you should have told me that it's too painful to talk about and you should have told me about this too
00:40:26you didn't defend me Tate and you never reached out you wanted nothing to do with me after that day
00:40:33Piper look I get it I'm a black mark on your precious reputation
00:40:39Delaney's better for you
00:40:42how do you know about that
00:40:45the press fall was your every move
00:40:47and I'm sure they'd have a field day about this
00:40:51please just leave us alone
00:40:59I want my daughter to know real love
00:41:03and I don't think you're capable of it
00:41:07you haven't taken your telescope out since you were a kid
00:41:20yeah well I uh try not to think about dad too much these days
00:41:23yeah

00:41:32we'll need to draft an NDA
00:41:34good god a pregnant escort
00:41:37the media circus around that
00:41:39is that all you can think about?
00:41:41I'm thinking about our family

00:41:44I'm about to have a daughter out there in the world
00:41:46who I'll never meet thanks to you
00:41:49hey don't blame this on me
00:41:51you were the one that brought her in this house in the first place
00:41:54you're right
00:41:54and I'm ashamed of us
00:41:58for how we treated her
00:42:00you want to know why she was escorting?
00:42:04it's because her mother is sick
00:42:06not dead
00:42:07I mean really sick
00:42:08but I guess Delaney's email didn't include that huh
00:42:11you know what
00:42:12it doesn't even matter who's to blame
00:42:14I understand why she didn't tell me
00:42:18I make a terrible father
00:42:21I'm nothing like dad
00:42:26hey Drew
00:42:35have you seen my key to the supply closet anywhere?
00:42:38it's exquisite
00:42:39changed my life
00:42:46it's what made all this possible
00:42:49when did you paint it?
00:42:52the night I met him
00:42:53before everything else
00:42:56I was thinking about Vermeer's portraits
00:43:00his use of light and contrast
00:43:03to create a whole world and essence of a person
00:43:06what appears at first glance simple
00:43:10becomes increasingly
00:43:12intimate
00:43:14and exposes who the person is emotionally
00:43:18I owe you an apology Piper
00:43:23and an explanation
00:43:25the way I accused you of only going after Tate for his money
00:43:31I only feared that because
00:43:33that's how I married my husband
00:43:36I grew up with so little
00:43:38practically nothing really
00:43:40I vowed my children would not have the same fate
00:43:44so you accused me of what you did
00:43:46you went digging for gold?
00:43:48only at first
00:43:49but yes
00:43:51I sought out Harrison for the security
00:43:54so what happened after you got married?
00:43:57did you tell him the truth
00:43:59or did you just live out a lie?
00:44:01after a few months
00:44:02I was head over heels
00:44:03Harrison was the love of my life
00:44:06the best husband and father
00:44:07I could have ever asked for
00:44:08well I'm sorry Tate didn't turn out more like Harrison then
00:44:12but
00:44:13I appreciate your honesty
00:44:15Piper
00:44:17I know that if given the chance
00:44:20Tate would follow in his father's footsteps
00:44:22you don't have to forgive me
00:44:27but please
00:44:28please let Tate be a part of his child's life
00:44:31I'll think about it
00:44:36Josie brought me
00:44:51she must have really groveled
00:44:55she did change my mind about something
00:44:57I
00:44:59never grew up knowing my father
00:45:01and
00:45:03I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel that absence
00:45:08so I'm
00:45:09willing to let you be in our life
00:45:11on my terms
00:45:14see you in a month

00:51:36ones that have never had their own space
00:51:40it's going to be for them

00:55:46I'm scared of how much I love you
00:55:52I love you too
00:55:56we hardly know each other
00:56:00it sounds crazy but
00:56:02I feel like you know me better than anyone else
00:56:05the real me
00:56:07but ask me anything
00:56:10I'm an open book
00:56:13what do you want
00:56:17I want us to be a family Piper
00:56:19that's it
00:56:21first and foremost
00:56:22I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood
00:56:26that you and I never got to have
00:56:28Lizzie?
00:56:31yeah
00:56:32short for Elizabeth
00:56:34I thought it sounded right
00:56:37it sounds perfect
00:56:42my mom is so excited we're moving into the estate
00:56:54it's not exactly giving normal childhood
00:56:57well normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights stairs Piper
00:57:01and besides there's more than enough room here for me you Lizzie and your mom
00:57:05she does seem more comfortable here
00:57:08I um
00:57:10I have a confession to make
00:57:12after the family doctor gave you the all clear
00:57:15I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists
00:57:19you did that?
00:57:21of course
00:57:22I talked to them
00:57:24and we came up with an action plan
00:57:25that should give Elizabeth more good days
00:57:27what kind of action plan?
00:57:29well
00:57:29a full-time in-house specialist for one
00:57:32and an environment where she's surrounded by people
00:57:35who care for her
00:57:36plus
00:57:37something else that should help bring back some memories
00:57:41is that a piano?
00:57:46oh
00:57:46she's happy
00:58:00Tate, I can tell she's happy
00:58:04music came right back to her
00:58:06the doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what
00:58:10but they think it's a good sign
00:58:12I'm not surprised
00:58:15you know, it's
00:58:16in her muscles
00:58:18her blood
00:58:19her DNA
00:58:19everything
00:58:21do you want to try talking to her?
00:58:24not yet
00:58:27I want her to have this
00:58:30thank you
00:58:35my mom took Lizzie on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood
00:58:56oh, she's gonna have the whole street wrapped around her finger
00:59:00you know, you're
00:59:02you're not gonna be able to teach her how to use that for a few years
00:59:05yes, but
00:59:06in the meantime
00:59:08you'll teach her how to paint
00:59:09and who knows
00:59:10maybe we'll have the next story night on our hands
00:59:13hopefully without the botched eardrop
00:59:15there's a piece I can't find
00:59:18do you mind looking in that box for me?
00:59:20it's, uh, small and gold
00:59:22Tate, what's this?
00:59:26Piper Manning
00:59:38you made me want to look up at the stars again
00:59:41will you marry me?
