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

00:55:38that's not what scares me the most though
00:55:46I'm scared of how much I love you
00:55:52I love you too we hardly know each other it sounds crazy but I feel like you know me better than anyone else
00:56:05the real me but ask me anything I'm an open book
00:56:13what do you want I want us to be a family Piper that's it first and foremost
00:56:23I want to give Lizzie the kind of childhood that you and I never got to have
00:56:28Lizzie yeah short for Elizabeth
00:56:34I thought it sounded great
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
00:57:06she does seem more comfortable here
00:57:09I um I have a confession to make
00:57:12after the family doctor gave you the all clear
00:57:16I asked her to reach out to some Alzheimer's specialists
00:57:19you did that? of course I talked to them and we came up with an action plan that should give Elizabeth more good days
00:57:28what kind of action plan? well a full-time in-house specialist for one
00:57:32and an environment where she's surrounded by people who care for her
00:57:36plus something else that should help bring back some memories
00:57:41is that a piano?
00:57:46she's happy
00:58:00Tate I can tell she's happy
00:58:04music came right back to her
00:58:07the 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 in her muscles, her blood, her DNA
00:58:20everything
00:58:22do you want to try talking to her?
00:58:25not yet
00:58:28I want her to have this
00:58:31thank you
00:58:37my mom took Lizzy on a walk to show her off to the neighborhood
00:58:56oh she's gonna have the whole street wrapped around her finger
00:58:59you know you're not gonna be able to teach her how to use that for a few years
00:59:05yes but in the meantime you'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 ear job
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 small and gold
00:59:22Tate, what's this?
00:59:25Piper Manning, you made me want to look up at the stars again
