05:45Michael
05:46Michael
05:55I don't know.
06:18Michael?
06:20Michael?
06:23You smell like coconut oil.
06:32I love coconuts.
06:40Are my pants mad at me?
06:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop!
06:53Why?
07:01What the hell did you do?
07:02You're being dramatic.
07:05I didn't do anything.
07:18You saw it?
07:20He spiked the drink.
07:24So, did you come back to save me?
07:27I didn't do anything.
07:37Morning, Mr. Ethan White.
07:41Liam?
07:44Surprised?
07:45Your next cover is me.
07:51I've wanted this longer than I'd ever dare admit.
07:57But what I really wanted was for you to finally see me.
08:04Let's get started.
08:19Ethan.
08:25That's it.
08:26Perfect.
08:30You won't believe this.
08:31Brody.
08:32The Brody.
08:32He just said yes to our next cover.
08:34But what about Liam?
08:37Come on.
08:38It's Brody.
08:39You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:42But...
08:51Join us for dinner?
08:53My treat.
08:54Thanks, but I've got plans.
09:09Well, well, well.
09:10Weren't this cover supposed to be you?
09:13What happened?
09:15Did Brody steal your spotlight?
09:17Guess playing Ethan's little lapdog didn't pay off.
09:20Huh.
09:25Pathetic.
09:34Ryan's running his mouth on livestream again.
09:39You guys still think Ethan's straight?
09:40Please.
09:41He's just deep in the closet.
09:42He's bent like a spiral by now.
10:05Brody wants you as his sugar baby.
10:08Those are just rumors.
10:10Investors don't care if they're rumors.
10:12And it's bleeding into your father's business.
10:17Your dad wants you home for dinner.
10:20He's getting remarried.
10:21He wants everyone there.
10:23My father's getting remarried?
10:25Okay.
10:26I'll be there.
10:28Liam!
10:29Think this through and calm down.
10:31You won't be righteous or employed.
10:33If I stay quiet, guys like him keep getting away with it.
10:40You need to see this.
10:43Ryan, I don't care if you talk shit about me, but you shouldn't do this to Ethan.
10:55Ethan?
10:56You were too impulsive.
10:57It may hurt your career.
11:00I know.
11:01But he shouldn't have come after you.
11:03You.
11:08So, everyone's seen that clip of Model Ryan at the V Magazine Gala, right?
11:12Caught sneaking around?
11:13Filming people like a creep?
11:16Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover.
11:18Didn't think he turned out to be that sleazy.
11:20Anyway, let's take a look at the video.
11:55You're dropping me over gossip?
12:00It's not gossip anymore.
12:01Our advertisers want clean air.
12:12You're joking.
12:14He's getting the supplement cover?
12:18What can I say?
12:20Timing.
12:25Doors that way.
12:27Try not to chip the paint.
12:33So, where do we begin?
12:50Ethan, you have an insane eye.
12:53Working with you, it changed something for me.
12:55You pull the best out of people.
12:59Thanks.
13:00And you?
13:01You made the work easy.
13:03I wasn't just talking about work.
13:04Liam.
13:05You make me feel seen.
13:06Like, really seen.
13:10Like, really seen.
13:12I need some air.
13:24Hey, I'm sorry.
13:26I didn't mean to push.
13:27I just couldn't hold it in anymore.
13:32I know what it's like to want something so much, it scares you.
13:44I'm sorry.
13:47I shouldn't.
13:48Sorry.
14:07You're welcome.
14:08I need some air.
14:09I don't know.
14:09I don't know what that means.
14:09I don't know what that means.
14:11I just can't.
14:11I'm sorry.
14:12I don't see any air.
14:14I just can't.
14:14I'm sorry.
14:16I can't.
14:16I just can't.
14:19I can't.
14:19You can't.
14:19paints. She listens. Honestly, probably too good for him. Speaking of your love life,
14:26spill. Any mysterious figures I should vet? It's complicated. Ooh, that's a yes. Tell
14:34me hot, rich, emotionally unavailable, royal blood. Bye, Mia.
14:56Bye, Mia.
15:19Hey, uh... Liam? Ethan? What are you doing here? I live here. Wait, this is Charles' house?
15:32Yeah, he's my dad. So that means my mom is... Your mom is marrying my dad?
15:48It's great you two already know each other. That makes things easier.
15:54Absolutely. It almost feels... meant to be.
15:58Been too long since we had a proper family dinner. Feels good, huh?
16:01Your father says you've always been the independent one. Always off chasing something new.
16:08Yeah, more or less. Though I heard there was a time you almost settled down.
16:16Oh, he was committed. Guest list, caterers, the whole circus. Let's not.
16:24People change. And some things are better left where they belong. You know, I just had a thought.
16:32Maybe Ethan and Liam can have a joint wedding someday. So hurry up and find girlfriends.
16:39Mom, what are you talking about? What? What's wrong with that?
16:43Two brothers, one wedding. Think of how much you'd save on the venue.
16:53Congrats again. Really.
16:55Thank you, Ethan.
16:58I should get going. Some edits to finish.
17:22I'm not here to make things harder.
17:24I just want to talk.
17:26Call me.
17:27Call me.
17:36Hey. I didn't mean to dig. I just... care. A lot.
17:42Call me. I just wrapped a shoot. Missed when you were behind the lens. How's your day looking?
18:10Just wrapped a shoot. Missed when you were behind the lens. How's your day looking?
18:12I just wrap a shoot. Missed when you were behind the lens.
18:16I just got to look at my eyes.
18:23Just a moment of silence.
18:26Oh, my God.
18:36Oh, my God.
18:38Oh, my God.
18:39Oh, my God.
18:41Oh, my God.
18:41Oh, my God.
18:57If anyone's seen my stepbrother photographer, dumb smile, unreal eyes, suspiciously good
19:05kisser, tell him I'm looking.
19:20Heard you were looking for someone who kisses pretty well.
19:30Ethan, thank god.
19:33I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vanished like that.
19:39It just... everything got messy.
19:46I needed space to think.
19:50And?
19:52Feel any clearer?
19:54A little, Liam.
19:56I never meant to hurt you.
19:58But with this family thing, I've been trying to be rational.
20:03Maybe we should...
20:04Go back to pretending we're just co-workers?
20:06Or...
20:07Play stepbrothers now.
20:09We're not just some label.
20:11Friend.
20:12Partner.
20:13Brother.
20:14Call or whatever.
20:16It still feels like us.
20:20I have no clue where this is going.
20:24But I know one thing.
20:27I don't want to not be around you.
20:32I have no clue where this is going.
20:41Too bad.
20:43You're stuck with me.
20:44Family, right?
20:45We'll figure it out.
20:47One awkward step at a time.
20:58Michael Green.
20:59You're in luck.
21:01Brody's taking a liking to your golden boy.
21:04Brody.
21:05Hunter?
21:08This Wednesday, 8pm, at Brody's office.
21:11Good luck.
21:12Oh my god!
21:14Brody!
21:15What should I wear?
21:28Mr. Hunter?
21:29Your guest is here.
21:31Send him in.
21:33Welcome, Michael.
21:35Uh...
21:36Nice outfit.
21:37Evening, Mr. Hunter.
21:39Let's keep this simple.
21:40I've been watching Liam Carter's Rise.
21:42He's electric.
21:44I want him to be in my music video.
21:46That's great to hear.
21:47He's earned it.
21:49No one works harder.
21:50Good.
21:50Now, tell me everything about him.
22:02Michael, what the hell?
22:04I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:05Sorry, I sent the wrong info.
22:07I stayed up too late last night.
22:09Shoot started an hour ago.
22:11What's the damage?
22:13They pulled your solo.
22:14Ryan stepped in.
22:16But they'll still use you in the group layout.
22:20Seriously?
22:21Him?
22:30Seriously?
22:31Him?
22:45he's running a copy.
22:46He's running around.
22:48Nice!

22:51Who's that one?
22:53Back row, left.
22:54Liam Carter.

31:35Can't take it anymore.
31:37Want to duck out for a bit?
31:42Do you dare leave?
31:45With you here, what's there to fear?
31:51Do you dare leave?
31:54With you here, what's there to fear?
32:17I swear, posing for that many group shots is more exhausting than any campaign shoot I've done.
32:24But I'm glad you were in the frame with me.
32:30Ha ha, I came prepared.
32:44God, we're so bad at this formal thing.
32:49Today was nice though, seeing them like that, vows and all.
32:54Kind of wild how normal we looked out there, like a real family.
33:00Real brothers.
33:07I don't want to just be your brother, Liam.
33:20Had enough of looking?
33:21I don't know.
33:24I don't know.
34:02I don't know.
34:30I don't know.
34:56I know you're in there!
34:58Door, now!
34:59Oh my god.
35:00Mia?
35:02Who the hell is Mia?
35:04My sister.
35:05She must have come back early.
35:13Oops.
35:22Well, well.
35:24My dear little brother.
35:26You've been hiding this deep?
35:28Sneaking around in my room?
35:31You've got some nerve.
35:35Yeah, um...
35:36Awkward.
35:37Hi, Mia.
35:40We didn't know this was your room.
35:42We were just...
35:43I don't need the details.
35:45I can imagine enough.
35:47Mia, please.
35:48Don't tell Mom and Dad.
35:50It's their big day.
35:51Don't ruin it.
35:52Please, we...
35:54We aren't ready for them to know yet.
35:59Relax.
35:59I'm not that bored.
36:01I wouldn't ruin Mom and Dad's wedding.
36:04But you two, next time you sneak around, remember to lock the door.
36:08And pick an empty room.
36:09Stop messing up my bed.
36:15Hurry up and fix yourselves up.
36:17The guests are looking for you outside.
36:19Don't get caught, my two dear brothers.
36:28Thanks.
36:40Mia!
36:42Mia!
36:43Helen, this is my daughter.
36:44Mia.
36:44She finally made it.
36:46Mia!
36:47I've heard so much about you.
36:49It's so lovely to meet you.
36:52All good things, I hope.
37:06Ethan's looking...
37:07Distracted tonight.
37:08Guess someone's caught his eye.
37:10Really?
37:10About time.
37:12Who's the lucky girl?
37:13Maybe it's not a girl.
37:20Maybe it's not a girl.
37:23Heard you've been sniffing around my business, Uncle Alex.
37:27Looking to cash in?
37:29No thanks.
37:31I plan to spend my 60s with a clean record and both kidneys.
37:34Just enjoying the night, Uncle Alex.
37:36Nothing more.
37:58Still thinking about what Alex said at the wedding?
38:01Screw it.
38:22Oh, God.
38:29Hey, Emily.
38:30Great timing.
38:31Seriously?
38:32Making out in your office?
38:38Emily, this...
38:39It's not...
38:40Relax.
38:41You think I didn't already guess?
38:45Brody's contract is here.
38:48And please...
38:49Lock the door next time.
38:51If you break the camera, you're both paying for it.
38:55Looks like besides keeping secrets, we have something else worth celebrating.
39:03Lock the door first.
39:05Then we celebrate.
39:26What's stalking me now?
39:28Just making sure my brother gets home safe.
39:32Didn't know I had such a clingy brother.
39:35You also didn't know your brother had bad intentions.
39:39Huh?
39:44Guess I should be scared then.
39:49Guess I should be scared then.
39:52Guess I should be scared then.
39:56Guess I should be scared then.
39:57Guess I should be scared then.
40:01Guess I should be scared then.
40:03Guess I should be scared then.
40:05Guess I should be scared then.
40:06Guess I should be scared then.
40:06Guess I should be scared then.
40:08Guess I should be scared then.
40:08Guess I should be scared then.
40:09Guess I should be scared then.
40:10Guess I should be scared then.
40:45Damn it! I don't care if it's Velary or Vee Magazine. We're getting that breach fee.
40:52You know, even Ethan got turned down by them. At this point, rejection might actually be a badge of honor.
40:59Forget just modeling. I've been sitting on something bigger.
41:07Film. A real shot. You, on screen.
41:12Film? You serious?
41:15Never been more.
41:38We're excited to confirm full sponsorship for your World Tour costumes, digital, after parties, full spread.
41:49Who's the face?
41:51We pivoted to Ryan.
41:54Liam was the original pick, but the team felt...
41:59it wasn't the right look this season.
42:10Not dropped, just redirected. A fresher aesthetic.
42:17Now that's funny. I just confirmed Liam as the lead for my next music video.
42:22Guess I'm not on trend either.
42:36Maybe you should go ahead and drop me too.
42:39Wouldn't want to ruin your fresher aesthetic.
42:51The contract was clear.
42:55The contract was clear. If Velary replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages. That's non-negotiable.
43:10Ethan, what are you...
43:12Velary dropped you?
43:14Things shift fast.
43:16There's something there, right?
43:18It's because of me.
43:21What do you mean?
43:26Grace is my ex-fiancée.
43:31We were engaged.
43:33I messed it up.
43:36That was when I started to truly understand myself.
43:39This time, her replacing you isn't about some style adjustment.
43:44It's targeted at me.
43:46I dragged you into this.
43:52First,
43:53this isn't your fault.
43:56Grace is just petty.
43:58Second,
43:59don't talk about dragging me down.
44:02Those words don't exist between us.
44:04The fact that you're willing to tell me this
44:06is enough.
44:10Besides,
44:11Brody already stood up for me.
44:13Grace can't turn the tide.
44:15And hey,
44:16I'm not some pushover who just takes things lying down.
44:19This
44:20isn't
44:21over.
44:22I'm sorry.
44:25Thanks.
44:37Meow.
44:42Jealous?
44:44Jealous?
44:45It's just work.
44:47No,
44:47I am not.
44:49Oh?
44:51Then why haven't you let go of that camera since we started?
44:55Babe,
44:56if you're jealous,
44:57just say it.
44:58Don't be stubborn.
45:13it's just work.
45:13Admitting you're jealous now?
45:16I hope you kill it.
45:17I really do.
45:20I know, babe.
45:25Next week. Yes, Liam's tight, but I'll move a few things around.
45:30Absolutely.
45:35Nope, he's booked. Try me in three weeks. Maybe.
45:49Yeah, this is Liam's agent. Who's calling?
45:52Liam Carter's breakout music video is being hailed as provocative, intimate, and one of the year's most daring visual statements.
46:02Son of a bitch!
46:10We did it! You're everywhere. The video's blowing up.
46:15It's crazy. Two months ago, I was just another name on a list.
46:34For Liam Carter, from Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:48Okay? What the hell is this?
46:54You've gotta be kidding me.
47:01You planning on keeping it?
47:04Hell no. I don't want to feel like I owe anyone.
47:07Even if it's someone who loves you?
47:10Screw you.
47:12Besides, having you is enough. Who needs a car?
47:16That's so like you.
47:31Cut!
47:43Hey, that last scene? You nailed it. You've got real presents.
47:48Thanks. That's... wow. Appreciate it.
47:52Jason Keller.
47:54I produce films. Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
47:59I mean, yeah. I've been hoping to.
48:05Let's grab dinner. I'd love to talk projects.
48:09Absolutely. I'm in.
48:11I'm in.
48:22Babe! You will not believe what just happened.
48:26Okay. Okay. What happened?
48:28Dinner with Keffer Pictures.
48:30They want me in their next movie.
48:32Me! Lead role!
48:35That's incredible.
48:38I'm so proud of you.
48:40I couldn't have done it without you.
48:44I couldn't have done it without you.
48:57Oh, man.
49:06I was leaving.
49:07I was leaving.
49:07To the fantasy.
49:09All my life's long.
49:10Struggles and pain.
49:12And I thought,
49:13We'll never go away.
49:15I never thought that you would be the one.
49:18You can't have what I play.
49:20And with you I found a place to call our own.
49:24It's just amazing when you've been facing me.
49:27It's like I know I don't mind.
49:30I need to tell you I'm sorry.
49:34Oh, man.
49:39Oh, man.
49:40Oh, man.
49:43Oh, man.
49:44God.
49:45If every day felt like this, I'd never leave.
49:49Then don't.
49:52What?
49:56Move in with me.
49:59What did you say?
50:00I said for all the days to come.
50:04I want to wake up and see you every single day.
50:10Yeah.
50:11Yeah, I'd love that.
50:16Oh, man.
50:18Oh, man.
50:20Oh, man.
50:20Oh, man.
50:22Oh, man.
50:22Oh, man.
50:23Oh, man.
50:24Oh, man.
50:25Oh, man.
50:25Oh, man.
50:26Oh, man.
