Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Delaney, mom, she's my ex for a reason.
00:00:11Actually, you know what?
00:00:14I think I found a date you're really going to like.
00:00:18I got to go.
00:00:30I just want to do it some way.
00:00:33Can't nobody do it just like the end.
00:00:37That's just what I like.
00:00:39Oh, baby, let's kiss, I'm afraid.
00:00:41What you're going to do?
00:00:42Tell me what you like.
00:00:43What you're going to do?
00:00:45Tell me what you like.
00:00:46What you're going to do?
00:00:47Tell me what you like.
00:00:49Just stay with your heart.
00:00:54What you're going to do?
00:00:55Tell me what you like.
00:00:57Looking for something?
00:01:03A date to my sister's wedding.
00:01:07I'll double your best payday, and I'll even let you pick our fake backstory.
00:01:15Lucky for you, I do escort work on the side.
00:01:21Give my agency a call.
00:01:24I'm yours so long as you pay.
00:01:27What you want to do, tell me what you like.
00:01:29What you want to do, tell me what you like.
00:01:48Piper?
00:01:49Hm.
00:01:50That's me.
00:01:51You must be Tate.
00:01:52Thanks for meeting me at the service entrance.
00:01:55The agency filled you in, yes?
00:01:58You need to be at the top of your game tonight.
00:02:00My mother will be watching me like a hawk.
00:02:02Hopefully, with you there, she won't be trying to set me up with anyone.
00:02:05Of course, Mr. Young. You can trust me. I'm a professional.
00:02:09Well, I mean, you're an escort. It doesn't exactly require an MBA.
00:02:14And hiring an escort doesn't exactly require more than a dick and a credit card.
00:02:19Really, just a credit card.
00:02:21That's funny. I thought I paid for a date, not an attitude.
00:02:25Two for the price of one.
00:02:27Lucky you.
00:02:38So, what's the story of how we met?
00:02:41You said you're a professional, right? Make something up.
00:02:45If we want to pull this off, we're going to have to have a story.
00:02:48You said yourself that your mother's going to be watching.
00:02:51Unless you want me to tell her the truth.
00:02:53Look, I realize that some of your other clients may find those kinds of jokes charming, but I need you to take this seriously, okay?
00:03:03My reputation's at stake here.
00:03:04You know, on my way over here, I was wondering, why does Tate Young, the most eligible bachelor in the city, need an escort?
00:03:13And I'm starting to understand why.
00:03:15Tate, you came.
00:03:18It's your rehearsal dinner. What'd you expect?
00:03:20Well, you always seem to find some excuse.
00:03:24And you are?
00:03:25It's nice to meet you, Ariana. I'm Piper.
00:03:33So?
00:03:33How did you two meet?
00:03:35Don't worry, babe. I'll tell her.
00:03:40I hosted a local artist charity auction last month, and the Young Family Foundation bid on a painting for their lobby.
00:03:46I supervised the installation, and Tate was there.
00:03:51The rest is history.
00:03:52Oh.
00:03:53Tate never usually spends time at the foundation.
00:03:56It was our father's passion project, but Tate tends to get his priorities mixed up.
00:04:00Oh.
00:04:02Mom's looking for you. I told her you were over here, so good luck.
00:04:07I'm gonna go make out with Dave.
00:04:14You know, I gotta say, it's a little scary how good of a liar you are.
00:04:18Oh, Tate, we have got to work on your trust issues.
00:04:22That whole story was true.
00:04:24Aside from meeting you, of course.
00:04:26Well, you're about to see where I got those trust issues from.
00:04:30Hello.
00:04:32I don't believe you're on our guest list.
00:04:36Mom, come on.
00:04:37Is that anyone intrigued my date?
00:04:40It's lovely to meet you, Mrs. Young.
00:04:42I was just telling your daughter that you bid on a painting at a local art auction I held last month.
00:04:48You hosted that?
00:04:49That painting spoke to me immediately.
00:04:52And I was especially intrigued with how the artist signed it.
00:04:56No name, just for Elizabeth.
00:04:59A dedication to the artist's mother.
00:05:01Must be nice for a mother to feel appreciated.
00:05:04I tried to find the artist, but if that artist appreciates their anonymity...
00:05:11Oh.
00:05:12And how about you, dear?
00:05:14Do you appreciate your anonymity as well?
00:05:18I'm an open book.
00:05:19Ask me anything.
00:05:21Oh.
00:05:21Where did you grow up?
00:05:24New York.
00:05:25Did you attend college?
00:05:27Princeton.
00:05:28College and graduate school for my MFA.
00:05:31Whoa.
00:05:32Poor dear.
00:05:33You must be drowning in student debt.
00:05:35Actually, my family didn't have to take out any loans, thank goodness.
00:05:39Oh.
00:05:39So you're comfortable.
00:05:41My mother was at the top of her field, so yes, we were comfortable.
00:05:45I see.
00:05:46We'll all have to have lunch together.
00:05:49Um, my mother is, unfortunately, no longer with us.
00:05:54All right.
00:05:55Okay.
00:05:56Enough with the third degree.
00:05:57I think Piper deserves a breather.
00:05:59I'll give her a tour of the house.
00:06:02Nice meeting you.
00:06:04You too.
00:06:05Okay, so we've established that you're an enormous dork, which is probably why you have
00:06:20a hard time with the ladies.
00:06:22I prefer to focus on my work.
00:06:25You know they have support groups for that kind of thing.
00:06:28Stop.
00:06:29You sound like my mother.
00:06:30She's been going to extremes to try to get me to settle down.
00:06:34Oh.
00:06:35What kind of extremes?
00:06:36I'm trying to get me back together with my ex.
00:06:39Speaking of terrible...
00:06:41Tate, baby, I missed you.
00:06:44Delaney, this is...
00:06:46Piper, his girlfriend.
00:06:48Delaney Hughes.
00:06:50His first love.
00:06:52Is that right?
00:06:54See, you're still trying to replace me, huh?
00:06:56What app did you find this woman?
00:06:58Piper is in the arts.
00:07:00That's where we met.
00:07:01And Delaney here is a lawyer at the firm.
00:07:03Well, T, that's not all I am, and you know it.
00:07:06We dated all throughout high school and college.
00:07:09And then we broke up.
00:07:10Hmm?
00:07:11Delaney, why are you here?
00:07:12Oh, don't be like that.
00:07:13You know Josie and I have always been close.
00:07:16Why, I'm practically family, and who knows?
00:07:19Maybe someday I will be.
00:07:20Delaney, what are you doing here?
00:07:22Thank God I came, right?
00:07:24I mean, it doesn't look like there was much of a turnout.
00:07:26We kept the guest list intimate.
00:07:28We didn't want anything to...
00:07:30Expensive?
00:07:30I mean, this family is worth millions.
00:07:32I am sad that they couldn't bring you a decent wedding.
00:07:35If your father were alive to see his daughter...
00:07:37Delaney!
00:07:38Yes?
00:07:39You're...
00:07:40drunk.
00:07:42I'll call you a car.
00:07:43Don't be silly.
00:07:45Go, Delaney.
00:07:46I didn't invite you here.
00:07:47Your mother did.
00:07:49Well, it's not her wedding, is it?
00:07:50The car's five minutes away.
00:07:52Feel free to wait outside.
00:07:54You should learn to stay out of my business.
00:07:57Otherwise, I might start sniffing around yours.
00:08:06I hope this isn't too forward, but can we be best friends already?
00:08:11Not too forward at all.
00:08:13Sorry about Delaney.
00:08:14It's okay.
00:08:15Or it will be, as long as you keep this girl around.
00:08:20I meant what I said earlier.
00:08:25If we're going to get through tonight, we have to get to know one another.
00:08:28Your family's not going to stop crying.
00:08:33Okay, fine.
00:08:33I graduated from Columbia, summa cum laude.
00:08:38Interned at Goldman Sachs.
00:08:40Became the youngest CEO in the firm's history.
00:08:43Made the Forbes 30 under 30 list.
00:08:45And now, I'm expected to carry on a tradition of excellence.
00:08:51Hmm.
00:08:53Boring.
00:08:53Oh, success is boring to you?
00:08:57I can find all that stuff on Google.
00:09:00I want to know who you really are.
00:09:02Okay.
00:09:03Um, I'm good at billiards.
00:09:06Oh, God.
00:09:07Just call it pool, like a normal person.
00:09:10A poser for swimming.
00:09:11Wow.
00:09:12Having a life of privilege really did a number on you, huh?
00:09:15Privilege is subjective.
00:09:18Well, money's not.
00:09:20And that makes all of the other problems a whole lot easier.
00:09:24Oh.
00:09:26What's this?
00:09:27Absolutely not.
00:09:29It does not say no escorts.
00:09:36Oh.
00:09:36A, B, honor roll.
00:09:46So you're a huge nerd.
00:09:47Briefly.
00:09:50I loved space, anyway.
00:09:52What the hell happened?
00:09:54What do you mean?
00:09:55Based on my research, I couldn't find a single photo where you actually looked happy.
00:10:00And that Forbes 30 under 30 profile?
00:10:03It was thoughtful.
00:10:05Introspective.
00:10:06Mildly suicidal.
00:10:08Definitely depressing.
00:10:13Fine.
00:10:15There was this space camp that I begged my parents to attend.
00:10:19Finally, they agreed the summer before I went to high school.
00:10:24But, uh, while I was gone, my, uh, my father passed away.
00:10:30I'm so sorry for your loss.
00:10:31After that, I guess I stopped looking up at the stars.
00:10:39That's where he was, you know?
00:10:42Instead of down here with us.
00:10:43Are you okay?
00:10:56I should, uh, get back to the party before my mother comes looking.
00:11:05So you're coming to the wedding tomorrow, right?
00:11:15I don't work multi-day job.
00:11:17Plus, I don't think I should.
00:11:18Plus, I don't think I should.
00:11:20Your family is way too involved.
00:11:23It's too complicated.
00:11:24I thought you said you were a professional.
00:11:25You'll have to make up an excuse or give them my apologies.
00:11:33I'm sorry, Tate.
00:11:34Really.
00:11:35I'll double your rate.
00:11:43And I'll do whatever you say.
00:11:45Open up as much as necessary.
00:11:47You don't want to keep lying to your family, Tate.
00:11:50I mean, what's your big plan here?
00:11:53You know, for once, I'm not trying to strategize ten steps ahead.
00:11:56I know what I want right now.
00:11:58I mean, I'll talk to the agency.
00:12:03See if they can make arrangements.
00:12:10Thank you, Piper.
00:12:12Don't thank me yet.
00:12:14Look, I'd better go.
00:12:20Um...
00:12:28Whenever you're awake, I miss you.
00:12:57Yeah, the next two nights?
00:13:08Is Renee available?
00:13:10She's just so good with all the medications.
00:13:14Oh, good.
00:13:16Please tell her that I'll have my room ready for her.
00:13:18No, no, no, no.
00:13:27I'm waiting.
00:13:33So tell me what you need.
00:13:37I can't take it
00:13:48The way this
00:13:50Is changing me
00:13:54I am listening
00:13:59So tell me
00:14:01What you need
00:14:05Cause I can't take it
00:14:09The way this
00:14:11Is changing me
00:14:14I can't take it
00:14:15I can't take it
00:14:19So tell me
00:14:21What you need
00:14:24Cause I can't take it
00:14:28The way this
00:14:30Is changing me
00:14:34That I can't take it
00:14:45I can't take it
00:14:58Shit
00:15:01Fuck.
00:15:13Text date.
00:15:15I can't make it to the wedding today.
00:15:17I'm sorry. I'll return your money now.
00:15:19Send.
00:15:27Not an option.
00:15:29Contract is signed with the agency.
00:15:31See you at 11am.
00:15:33Fuck.
00:15:43Hello?
00:15:45There you are.
00:15:47Sorry, I couldn't hear the gate.
00:15:49It was open.
00:15:51But I'm here.
00:15:53And having a colossally bad hair day.
00:15:55Okay, well you can't wear a hat to the wedding.
00:15:59It can't be that bad.
00:16:01Let me see it.
00:16:03It's that bad. No one can see.
00:16:05Show me.
00:16:07I'm sorry.
00:16:09Uh...
00:16:11Wow.
00:16:13What are you doing?
00:16:15Trust me, okay?
00:16:17I grew up with a sister.
00:16:19So how did this happen anyway?
00:16:21I fell asleep painting.
00:16:23Which I haven't done since I was a kid.
00:16:25I'm surprised you had the energy to paint after everything yesterday.
00:16:27I was inspired.
00:16:29I know what you mean.
00:16:31You know we have staff for that sort of thing.
00:16:33Yes.
00:16:34And I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this.
00:16:37You're in a good mood.
00:16:39Yeah.
00:16:40Yeah.
00:16:41And I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this.
00:16:43You're in a good mood.
00:16:44It's a good day.
00:16:45It's Piper, isn't it?
00:16:46I was skeptical.
00:16:47But I see how happy she makes you.
00:16:48Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this, okay?
00:16:50I know what you mean.
00:16:51I know what you mean.
00:16:52You know we have staff for that sort of thing.
00:16:54Yes.
00:16:55And I've seen children set up a tea party neater than this.
00:16:57You're in a good mood.
00:16:58It's a good day.
00:16:59It's Piper, isn't it?
00:17:01I was skeptical.
00:17:04But I see how happy she makes you.
00:17:07Mom, please don't make a big deal out of this, okay?
00:17:12Your father would have liked her.
00:17:15I like her, too.
00:17:19Hey, what are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:22Hey, what are you doing with those flowers?
00:17:44Ready?
00:17:52Dave, when we first met, we agreed we felt like teenagers again. Energized. Invincible.
00:18:00But as we fell in love, I felt more like a little kid again. Full of wonder and hope.
00:18:08I had absolute faith in you because I felt absolutely cherished. Just like I did when I was small.
00:18:16My father taught me that unconditional love was possible.
00:18:22And I know you're the only man he'd trust his little girl to.
00:18:28Because you love all versions of me. Unconditionally.
00:18:34And I vow to love you just the same. Young or old. Richer, poorer. In sickness and in health. Forever.
00:18:52Bullshit! You were absolutely crying.
00:18:54I was not. Okay, I may have shed a tear. But she's my baby sister and she was getting married.
00:19:00I think I'm entitled to- Oh my God.
00:19:02Okay, if you make this a big deal, Piper, I swear.
00:19:04No, no, no. Not that.
00:19:06Is that Sebastian Rockwell? The art critic? I'm kind of obsessed with him.
00:19:11Hey Bash!
00:19:12Tate, no.
00:19:14Beautiful ceremony.
00:19:24Thank you so much, my friend. Sebastian, I want you to meet someone. This is Piper Manning.
00:19:29It's so nice to meet you, Mr. Rothwell. I've been reading your writing for years.
00:19:34That piece you wrote on the Edward Hopper retrospective at the Whitney made me cry.
00:19:40You're too kind. Are you an artist yourself?
00:19:44I'm a painter.
00:19:46Send me some photos of your work. I'd love to know more about the woman who stole Tate Young's heart.
00:19:54Excuse me, I have to take this. Connect us.
00:20:10So? Did you save a dance for me?
00:20:20I don't dance.
00:20:22What? No. Ariana said everyone had to dance, and that includes you and me.
00:20:28You don't want to piss off the bride, do you?
00:20:31How'd you get so good at this?
00:20:47I've attended way too many of these formal events, so I've not picked up a thing or two.
00:20:51Oh! Oh! Is that your foot?
00:20:55How are you so bad at this?
00:20:59Dancing is not one of my skills.
00:21:03So how did you get into it? Escorted?
00:21:07I needed help with my mom's medical bills, and the pay was great, and I didn't mind escaping my reality from time to time.
00:21:19Turns out, when you're not born into a multi-million dollar family, life's kind of hard.
00:21:25So having a concierge doctor isn't the norm?
00:21:30I was kind of hoping that this would be my last gig.
00:21:34I want to spend more time at home. Get a remote job or something.
00:21:39A job is a job. There's nothing wrong with doing what it takes to survive.
00:21:43But, for what it's worth, I hope I'm your last assignment too.
00:21:51How about a photo of the happy couple?
00:21:57Get cozy.
00:22:00Come on Tate, give her a kiss.
00:22:04Your plan.
00:22:13Okay. Have a good evening, little birds.
00:22:32Hey, what's that for?
00:22:36Stay with me tonight.
00:22:40I thought that kind of had squirt.
00:22:43We don't have to.
00:22:46I just want to spend more time with you.
00:22:49Please.
00:23:08Is it me?
00:23:09Uh, sure.
00:23:12Do you have a shirt for me to wear?
00:23:25Right. Uh, of course.
00:23:33It was a gift from my dad.
00:23:35Oh. Are you sure you want me to wear it?
00:23:38All right.
00:23:39Don't be silly.
00:23:45It looks good on you.
00:23:49Okay, who's being silly now?
00:23:51Just trying to be respectful.
00:23:52I feel respected.
00:23:53Now, can we sleep in the bed? Like adults?
00:24:03Hardwood floor, huh?
00:24:05Honestly, you're stiff enough as it is.
00:24:07T?
00:24:21T?
00:24:23Yeah?
00:24:25I was just...
00:24:27seeing if you were awake.
00:24:28you were awake.
00:24:32You can't sleep?
00:24:41Not really.
00:24:45You?
00:24:47No.
00:24:49Everything is...
00:24:52racing.
00:25:01Is this okay?
00:25:03I don't know.
00:25:06No.
00:25:07No.
00:25:09No.
00:25:10It's not.
00:25:11I don't know.
00:25:12I don't know if you're alive.
00:25:13I don't know if you're alive.
00:25:14Is this okay?
00:25:44Is this okay?
00:26:14Is this okay?
00:26:21Wow, your dad was a babe.
00:26:24What happened to you?
00:26:26Okay, okay.
00:26:28I'm kidding.
00:26:29You're a babe too.
00:26:30Alright, come on.
00:26:31Let me see a picture of your mom.
00:26:36Oh my god.
00:26:41She was stunning.
00:26:45You really miss her, don't you?
00:26:47I know it sounds weird, but I really miss her playing the piano.
00:26:53I used to come home from school and I could hear it all the way from our building hallway.
00:26:59Anytime I heard that music, I knew that she was happy.
00:27:03I had to sell it, the piano, when she got sick.
00:27:11I haven't forgiven myself since that.
00:27:17I see some of your paintings sometime.
00:27:20You really don't spend enough time at your family's foundation.
00:27:24You've been talking to my mother, haven't you?
00:27:26Yeah.
00:27:27The painting she bought for Elizabeth?
00:27:29It's mine.
00:27:31It was for my mom.
00:27:33You're incredible.
00:27:48Okay.
00:27:52So is it like this with all your other clients?
00:27:58Not usually.
00:27:59This feels personal.
00:28:03Yeah, for me too.
00:28:06Then me working for you creates a problematic power dynamic.
00:28:13Now there's a word every man wants to hear in the bedroom.
00:28:17Not just for me, for both of us.
00:28:20You know?
00:28:21How do I know that you don't just want sex?
00:28:24And how do you know that I don't just want a paycheck?
00:28:28Looks like I'm not the only one with trust issues.
00:28:32Am I wrong?
00:28:34Well, I mean, you said after this weekend you might not be an escort anymore.
00:28:39So then what?
00:28:44So then I will take you out on a date.
00:28:48I don't know if I fit in here.
00:28:53You know, with your family.
00:28:55And your world.
00:28:58Hey.
00:29:01Then I will make space for you.
00:29:03Get away from my son.
00:29:16What are you talking about, Mom?
00:29:18I just received a disturbing email from Delaney with attachments from an escort service.
00:29:23Did you know about this?
00:29:25About this gold digger?
00:29:27Calm down.
00:29:28It's not like that.
00:29:29I trusted you.
00:29:30And you lied to my face about using my son.
00:29:33I'm sorry I had to lie to you, but I was never using him.
00:29:36You're trespassing.
00:29:38Get off my property before I call the police.
00:29:40All right.
00:29:41Listen.
00:29:42There is no need to be so dramatic.
00:29:43All right?
00:29:44I wanted a professional, so I hired one.
00:29:46Okay?
00:29:47End of story.
00:29:48Professional?
00:29:49You knew?
00:29:50Tate.
00:29:51I see the way you look at her.
00:29:54This woman has you eating out of the palm of her hand.
00:29:57And she lied to you, Tate.
00:29:59What do you mean she lied to me?
00:30:01Josie, please.
00:30:05Her mother's alive.
00:30:06Not dead, as she led us to believe.
00:30:09She lied about something like this?
00:30:11How can we believe anything she has to say?
00:30:14Is that true?
00:30:19It is, but...
00:30:20So much for really getting to know each other, huh?
00:30:22Can we please just talk about this privately?
00:30:25Why?
00:30:26So you can spin more lies, get off my property, or I'll call the police.
00:30:32Tate...
00:30:34Just leave.
00:30:36Before it gets any worse.
00:30:38So much for making space for me.
00:30:49Think about our family's future.
00:30:52What would your father think of this?
00:30:54A prostitute for a daughter-in-law?
00:30:57Enough.
00:30:59Now we have to spin damage control.
00:31:02Delaney promised not to leak it to the press if you meet with her for a chat.
00:31:16Hey, Piper.
00:31:17What the hell do you want?
00:31:19How could you lie to me?
00:31:20I don't owe you an explanation.
00:31:22How could you let your mother say those things to me?
00:31:24Yeah, well, maybe she was right.
00:31:26You never cared about me.
00:31:27You only cared about using me for my money and my connections.
00:31:30But what else should I have expected from an escort?
00:31:33You sell your body for money.
00:31:35I didn't mean that.
00:31:36I'm sorry I went too far.
00:31:37No.
00:31:38You know what?
00:31:39You're right.
00:31:40I am just an escort.
00:31:41And you're just another client.
00:31:42This was just business.
00:31:43And we are done here.
00:31:44Piper, wait.
00:31:45Wait.
00:31:46No.
00:31:47Wait.
00:31:48Girl.
00:31:49Please!
00:31:50But...
00:31:51I am just an escort.
00:31:52And you're just another client.
00:31:53This was just business.
00:31:54And we are done here.
00:31:55Piper, wait.
00:31:56Stay there.
00:31:57Oh!
00:31:59Come on.
00:32:01Nice.
00:32:12Hey, Renee. Is everything okay with my mom?
00:32:26Oh, good.
00:32:28Sure. I'll stop by the pharmacy on the way home.
00:32:32No problem. Bye.
00:32:36Congratulations, Michelangela.
00:32:38Oh, my gosh. You're so sweet. You did not have to do that.
00:32:41Of course I did.
00:32:42We have to celebrate you coming all this way, all on your own.
00:32:45Well, not all on my own.
00:32:47How is our little one doing today?
00:32:50Crushing my bladder, as a matter of fact.
00:32:56This is incredible, Piper.
00:32:59You said you were going into business on your own. I had no idea.
00:33:03It was partially thanks to your wedding.
00:33:07Am I your muse?
00:33:09I did feel inspired that weekend.
00:33:13It was the first time I was able to paint in over a year.
00:33:19And Tate introduced me to Sebastian Rothwell.
00:33:21He loved one of my new pieces, wrote an article about it, and then I had requests and commissions just flooding in.
00:33:29And so, thanks for getting married.
00:33:32Well, thank you for letting me be in your life.
00:33:35Between that and you agreeing to keep this a secret, you have definitely earned your best friend's path.
00:33:42Well, it's not hard to keep a secret when you barely speak to your family.
00:33:48It's okay. It's good, actually.
00:33:51After the way they treated you, I finally drew some boundaries.
00:33:54No more meddling from Mom.
00:33:56No more watching Tate destroy the legacy my father created.
00:33:59How is he?
00:34:02From what I can tell, miserable.
00:34:07And he's making everybody around him miserable, too.
00:34:14He's shutting down Dad's foundation.
00:34:15This gorgeous new property just opened up in the 7th.
00:34:28Overpriced, no doubt.
00:34:29Without the foundation bleeding our firm dry, we can afford it.
00:34:34Our first European office.
00:34:36Our London office is in Europe.
00:34:39We can spend the summers vacationing on the Seine.
00:34:43Ugh, the Seine is filthy.
00:34:45I'll take a tour when I visit next week.
00:34:59What the hell is this?
00:35:02That's the ring you're going to use to propose to me.
00:35:05We'll announce the good news when I'm back.
00:35:08Don't worry. I like a surprise.
00:35:15Hello?
00:35:28Is there anyone here to help me?
00:35:31I'd love to purchase a piece.
00:35:33Be out in a sec.
00:35:34Take your time, dear.
00:35:37I think you're showing an artist that I've been trying to find for the past year.
00:35:42You have no idea how hard it is to track him down.
00:35:46He never signs his paintings.
00:35:50I didn't realize he was being shown in a gallery.
00:35:54I think I saw one of his paintings in your catalog.
00:35:57It resembled the one I purchased last year.
00:36:00What do you think you're doing here?
00:36:03Excuse me?
00:36:04I need to talk to the artist immediately.
00:36:07Does he know the gallery hired a prostitute?
00:36:10I'm the artist that you've been looking for.
00:36:13And this is my gallery.
00:36:15Now get off of my property before I call the police.
00:36:19Wait.
00:36:21Wait.
00:36:22Judging from your appearance, I think I should stay.
00:36:26I don't have to take your insults anymore.
00:36:28If I'm not mistaken, and I've had two pregnancies myself,
00:36:32I think you're as far along as Ariana's wedding.
00:36:36Did you do this to trap him?
00:36:38You're coming after child support, aren't you?
00:36:41Tate doesn't know.
00:36:43And I don't need his support.
00:36:44Why didn't you tell him?
00:36:47Because I want nothing to do with the Youngs.
00:36:51As you can see, I'm thriving on my own.
00:36:54Even as an escort, I was fine.
00:36:55And I refuse to bring my daughter into a family that views me, or her, as a shameful mistake.
00:37:03You're having a little girl?
00:37:06Yes.
00:37:06I'm having a girl.
00:37:07And just because I don't have the same resources as you,
00:37:11doesn't mean I can't give her the best damn life possible.
00:37:15She's going to be happy and healthy,
00:37:17and she will never have the misfortune of meeting you.
00:37:21Now please leave.
00:37:22Thanks for coming by.
00:37:33I needed access to all of Dad's files on the foundation.
00:37:36That's the only reason I'm here.
00:37:37I don't want to argue with you.
00:37:39Is that all you think I do?
00:37:41Either that, or you guilt-tripped me about shutting down Dad's foundation.
00:37:44I don't want to argue with you either.
00:37:47I just want to ask, have you ever heard from Piper again?
00:37:53What?
00:37:55No.
00:37:56Why?
00:37:57I heard she opened her own gallery.
00:38:00Good for her.
00:38:02I thought maybe we could stop by sometime.
00:38:06Or just you.
00:38:08Reconnect.
00:38:09You know, I just don't understand you.
00:38:11First, you throw her out of the house,
00:38:13and now you're trying to set us up?
00:38:15That's not what I'm trying to do.
00:38:17I thought that you would be happy that I'm back with Delaney.
00:38:20You know, someone from our world?
00:38:22I just can't win with you.
00:38:23Tate, stop.
00:38:25There's something that I have to tell you about Piper.
00:38:43This song is one of your favorites, Mama.
00:38:57What are you doing here?
00:39:23My mother told me.
00:39:24How did you find me?
00:39:27We have a PI on retainer.
00:39:29Of course you do.
00:39:31Do you people respect anything?
00:39:32You want to talk about respect?
00:39:35How could you not tell me we're about to have a kid?
00:39:37We're not about to do anything.
00:39:39You can keep your voice down.
00:39:40Is that your mom?
00:39:45Is she okay?
00:39:47No.
00:39:48She's not okay.
00:39:49Why did you lie about her?
00:39:50I wasn't lying when I said that she's no longer with us.
00:39:55She's gone.
00:39:58Alzheimer's.
00:39:59Her care nearly drove me to bankruptcy.
00:40:02But that's in the past now.
00:40:05I'm fully capable of supporting my family all on my own.
00:40:12You should have told me that.
00:40:15It's too painful to talk about.
00:40:19And you should have told me about this, too.
00:40:21You didn't defend me, Tate.
00:40:24And you never reached out.
00:40:26You wanted nothing to do with me after that day.
00:40:28Piper.
00:40:29Look, I get it.
00:40:31I'm a black mark on your precious reputation.
00:40:36Delaney's better for you.
00:40:39How do you know about that?
00:40:40The press fall was your every move.
00:40:43And I'm sure they'd have a field day about this.
00:40:52Please, just leave us alone.
00:40:56I want my daughter to know real love.
00:40:59And I don't think you're capable of it.
00:41:11You haven't taken your telescope out since you were a kid.
00:41:15Yeah, well, I try not to think about Dad too much these days.
00:41:19Yeah.
00:41:21Did you see Piper?
00:41:22What did she say?
00:41:24How much does she want?
00:41:26She didn't want anything.
00:41:27We'll need to draft an NDA.
00:41:30Good God.
00:41:31A pregnant escort.
00:41:32The media circus around that.
00:41:34Is that all you can think about?
00:41:36I'm thinking about our family.
00:41:38Yeah, so am I.
00:41:40I'm about to have a daughter out there in the world who I'll never meet thanks to you.
00:41:44Hey, don't blame this on me.
00:41:46You were the one that brought her in this house in the first place.
00:41:49You're right.
00:41:50And I'm ashamed of us.
00:41:53For how we treated her.
00:41:57You want to know why she was escorting?
00:41:59It's because her mother is sick.
00:42:01Not dead.
00:42:02I mean really sick.
00:42:04But I guess Delaney's email didn't include that, huh?
00:42:07You know what?
00:42:08It doesn't even matter who's to blame.
00:42:09I mean, I understand why she didn't tell me.
00:42:15I make a terrible father.
00:42:20I'm nothing like Dad.
00:42:29Hey Drew, have you seen my key to the supply closet anywhere?
00:42:33It's exquisite.
00:42:34It changed my life.
00:42:42It's what made all this possible.
00:42:45When did you paint it?
00:42:47The night I met him.
00:42:49Before everything else.
00:42:53I was thinking about Vermeer's portraits.
00:42:56His use of light and contrast to create a whole world and essence of a person.
00:43:01What appears at first glance simple becomes increasingly intimate and exposes who the person is emotionally.
00:43:16I owe you an apology, Piper.
00:43:19And an explanation.
00:43:22The way I accused you of only going after Tate for his money.
00:43:26I only feared that because that's how I married my husband.
00:43:32I grew up with so little.
00:43:34Practically nothing, really.
00:43:36I vowed my children would not have the same fate.
00:43:39So you accused me of what you did?
00:43:42You went digging for gold?
00:43:43Only at first.
00:43:45But yes.
00:43:47I sought out Harrison for the security.
00:43:50So what happened after you got married?
00:43:52Did you tell him the truth or did you just live out a lie?
00:43:56After a few months, I was head over heels.
00:43:59Harrison was the love of my life.
00:44:01The best husband and father I could have ever asked for.
00:44:04Well, I'm sorry Tate didn't turn out more like Harrison then.
00:44:07But I appreciate your honesty.
00:44:12Piper.
00:44:12I know that if given the chance, Tate would follow in his father's footsteps.
00:44:20You don't have to forgive me.
00:44:23But please.
00:44:24Please let Tate be a part of his child's life.
00:44:30I'll think about it.
00:44:31Josie brought me.
00:44:48She must have really groveled.
00:44:50She did change my mind about something.
00:44:54I never grew up knowing my father.
00:44:58And I'd be lying if I said that I didn't feel that absence.
00:45:04So I'm willing to let you be in her life.
00:45:08On my terms.
00:45:13See you in a month.
00:45:14Wait.
00:45:15What?
00:45:17Well, the baby's not here yet.
00:45:19Yeah, but I want to be a good father now.
00:45:25What do you mean?
00:45:31Being a good father means taking care of the mother.
00:45:33Even if the child's not here yet.
00:45:38You can come over tonight.
00:45:40I need help building a crib.
00:45:43I'll be there.
00:45:44You're on the wrong page.
00:46:04I am not.
00:46:06If you would just let me help.
00:46:08No, Piper.
00:46:08Absolutely not.
00:46:10And don't make me send you to bed early.
00:46:11So how's your mom doing?
00:46:17Is there any chance for improvement?
00:46:20Not really.
00:46:22You know, she has good days, but it's mainly about managing the bad ones.
00:46:28Always worried that she's miserable.
00:46:31She's nonverbal, so I have no way of knowing.
00:46:39Speaking of your mother.
00:46:40We, uh, we moved your for Elizabeth piece into the estate now that the foundation is shutting down.
00:46:47I heard.
00:46:49Why are you trying to shut down your father's work?
00:46:53The foundation was draining us.
00:46:55The family firm needs to expand.
00:46:56The word family comes first in that sentence for a reason.
00:47:01My dad would have loved you.
00:47:03He always put it in that order, too.
00:47:06Family, foundation, firm.
00:47:08So, if foundation comes before a firm, don't you think he'd want you to keep it open?
00:47:14Yeah, well, add it to the list of ways I'm letting him down.
00:47:17What else is on the list?
00:47:22Well, all he ever wanted was for me to be happy, and I'm not.
00:47:25Not since.
00:47:26Oh.
00:47:29What's wrong?
00:47:31Contractions.
00:47:32Are you going into labor?
00:47:33Um, no, it's just, ooh, Braxton Hicks.
00:47:41It's like a sharp pain across my stomach and my lower back.
00:47:46Yeah.
00:47:54Better?
00:47:56Better.
00:47:57She's kicking.
00:48:02Can you feel it?
00:48:05Yeah, I can.
00:48:08She loves dancing around in there.
00:48:11Hopefully she's a better dancer than her mom.
00:48:17I have an idea.
00:48:18What are you doing?
00:48:30I am eight months pregnant, you psycho.
00:48:33Yes, and I heard that you're supposed to get 30 minutes of exercise a day.
00:48:42Ugh.
00:48:43Hey, you're not stepping on my feet.
00:48:53Well, there's a big belly in between us.
00:49:01God, Piper.
00:49:03What?
00:49:05If I thought you were sexy before.
00:49:08I'm a beached whale.
00:49:10You were perfect.
00:49:23Wait, no.
00:49:24I'm sorry.
00:49:24Piper.
00:49:25It's fine.
00:49:27You have nothing to be sorry for.
00:49:30It's co-parents.
00:49:31We're not dating.
00:49:33Things with Delaney, they're complicated.
00:49:37They shouldn't be.
00:49:38She's perfect for you.
00:49:42We shouldn't have.
00:49:45You should go.
00:49:47Come to my mother's birthday dinner tomorrow.
00:49:50Please, Piper.
00:49:54I'll come.
00:49:55I want a good relationship with your mom.
00:49:57And what about a relationship with me?
00:50:01Who knows?
00:50:03You might make a good dad.
00:50:04But you're no good for me.
00:50:08Oh, interesting.
00:50:38It's from me.
00:50:40It's to help you relax.
00:50:50I know who this one's from.
00:50:56Oh, my God.
00:50:59From a mom to a mom.
00:51:03I love it.
00:51:06Wow.
00:51:08Well, that'll go great with what I got you.
00:51:17Mom, everyone.
00:51:19I've decided to keep Dad's foundation going.
00:51:26We're going to work with local artists in the community.
00:51:33Ones that have never had their own space.
00:51:36It's going to be for them.
00:51:37And that's not all.
00:51:42I've been thinking about a lot these past few days.
00:51:45Especially what makes me happy.
00:51:49It all comes down to family.
00:51:51I want to follow in Dad's footsteps.
00:51:55Do good.
00:51:57Be good.
00:51:57And that is why I'm starting the Harrison Young Explorers program in his name.
00:52:05So that more kids can go to space camp or art camp or whatever it is they dream of going.
00:52:12I don't know how you did it, Piper.
00:52:14You gave me my brother back.
00:52:17Happy birthday, Josie!
00:52:19Delaney, what are you doing here?
00:52:20I changed my flight so I could be here for your mother's birthday.
00:52:30What the hell is she doing here?
00:52:33And what is that?
00:52:35That's mine, Delaney.
00:52:37We're having a baby.
00:52:39Oh, this family is full of secrets, aren't they?
00:52:42Did you tell them the other news, Tate?
00:52:44Did you tell them that we're engaged?
00:52:46I don't know.
00:52:46I don't know.
00:52:50Tate, what is she talking about?
00:52:55I didn't think she was going to do this.
00:52:57Delaney.
00:52:57What?
00:52:58You'd rather have that whore for a daughter-in-law?
00:53:00You watch your language when talking about the mother of my grandchild.
00:53:04Josie, it's fine.
00:53:06Thank you for defending me, but Tate can make his own decisions and clearly he has decided
00:53:12who he wants to be with, so...
00:53:14The press is going to love this.
00:53:17I mean, what about the stock prices?
00:53:19What happens when they find out that their CEO is having a bastard child with a prostitute?
00:53:25Tell the press whatever you want.
00:53:27Piper!
00:53:27Tate!
00:53:28Baby, I love you!
00:53:29You love my name, Delaney.
00:53:31Piper.
00:53:35Hey, Piper.
00:53:36I swear to you.
00:53:37This was a mistake.
00:53:39You should have never come.
00:53:40I never proposed, okay?
00:53:41I was going to end things when she got back.
00:53:43This world that you live in is toxic.
00:53:46I agree.
00:53:47Hey, hey, Piper.
00:53:48I agree with you.
00:53:49I would give all this up just to be with you and our daughter.
00:53:54You brought me back to life the night of my sister's wedding, but I was just too stupid
00:53:58to see it.
00:53:59Hi.
00:53:59Hey.
00:54:00You okay?
00:54:01What's wrong?
00:54:02I don't...
00:54:03You okay?
00:54:03I don't feel good.
00:54:04Hey, Piper.
00:54:05Hey, Piper.
00:54:06Hey, Piper.
00:54:07I got you.
00:54:08Hey.
00:54:08Hey.
00:54:09Someone help!
00:54:09Hey.
00:54:21You're awake.
00:54:25You really scared me back there.
00:54:28What happened?
00:54:29I guess you got up so fast.
00:54:32Your blood pressure dropped and you fainted.
00:54:35But the family doctor said you and the baby are both fine.
00:54:39I have to go.
00:54:40My mom...
00:54:41I called your nurse.
00:54:43Renee is with her.
00:54:45Please.
00:54:46Stay.
00:54:47Piper.
00:54:50Delaney is not going to bother us anymore.
00:54:52I promise you that.
00:54:56I heard what you said out there.
00:55:02I meant every word of it.
00:55:05It's not that I don't believe you.
00:55:07It's just...
00:55:09I'm really scared, Dave.
00:55:16Tell me what you're scared of.
00:55:19Messing up our kid.
00:55:21Spoiling her too much or...
00:55:24Not enough or...
00:55:26What if we're bad parents?
00:55:29We don't know what we're doing.
00:55:32We'll get through it together.
00:55:39That's not what scares me the most, though.
00:55:45I'm scared of how much I love you.
00:55:51I love you too.
00:55:53We hardly know each other.
00:55:56It sounds crazy, but...
00:55:58I feel like you know me better than anyone else.
00:56:01The real me.
00:56:04But ask me anything.
00:56:07I'm an open book.
00:56:12What do you want?
00:56:13I want us to be a family, Piper.
00:56:15That's it.
00:56:16First and foremost.
00:56:20I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood that you and I never got to have.
00:56:24Lizzie?
00:56:26Yeah.
00:56:28Short for Elizabeth.
00:56:30I thought it sounded right.
00:56:32It sounds perfect.
00:56:47My mom is so excited we're moving into the estate.
00:56:50It's not exactly giving normal childhood.
00:56:53Well, normal doesn't have to mean lugging a stroller up four flights of stairs, Piper.
00:56:56And besides, there's more than enough room here for me, you, Lizzie, and your mom.
00:57:01She does seem more comfortable here.
00:57:05I, um...
00:57:06I have a confession to make.
00:57:08After the family doctor gave you the all-clear,
00:57:11I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists.
00:57:15You did that?
00:57:16Of course.
00:57:18I talked to them, and we came up with an action plan that should give Elizabeth more good days.
00:57:23What kind of action plan?
00:57:24Well, a full-time in-house specialist, for one.
00:57:28And an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her.
00:57:32Plus, something else that should help bring back some memories.
00:57:40Is that a piano?
00:57:41No.
00:57:41No.
00:57:41No.
00:57:41No.
00:57:41No.
00:57:42No.
00:57:42No.
00:57:42No.
00:57:42No.
00:57:43No.
00:57:43No.
00:57:43No.
00:57:44No.
00:57:44No.
00:57:45No.
00:57:45No.
00:57:46No.
00:57:46No.
00:57:47No.
00:57:47No.
00:57:48No.
00:57:49No.
00:57:50No.
00:57:51No.
00:57:52No.
00:57:54She's happy.
00:57:57Tate, I can tell she's happy.
00:58:00Music came right back to her.
00:58:03The doctors don't know if it was muscle memory or what, but they think it's a good sign.
00:58:09I'm not surprised.
00:58:10You know, it's in her muscles, her blood, her DNA, everything.
00:58:18Do you want to try talking to her?
00:58:21Not yet.
00:58:23I want her to have this.
00:58:40My mom took Lizzie on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood.
00:58:52Oh, she's going to have the whole street wrapped around her finger.
00:58:56You know, you're not going to be able to teach her how to use that for a few years.
00:59:01Yes, but in the meantime, you'll teach her how to paint.
00:59:05And who knows, maybe we'll have the next story night on our hands.
00:59:08Hopefully without the botched eardrop.
00:59:12There's a piece I can't find.
00:59:14Do you mind looking in that box for me?
00:59:15It's small and gold.
00:59:19Tate, what's this?
00:59:32Piper Manning, you made me want to look up at the stars again.
00:59:38Will you marry me?
00:59:41I will.
00:59:42I will.
00:59:43He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he.
00:59:51I will.
