00:16All right, hit me.
00:19Wow, dare.
00:21What's my punishment?
00:24Kiss him.
00:31Wait, him?
00:33But he's a guy.
00:36So, it's a dare.
00:51So, I lost the game, and they dared me to kiss you.
00:58If you're not cool with it, I'll just take the L.
01:02Pretend I chickened out.
01:05So, you're saying you're not into me?
01:08That's not what I...
01:11It's just...
01:12Am I not handsome enough tonight?
01:15You're fine.
01:16I just don't...
01:17I...
01:18I can't.
01:19You can't?
01:19Or you've just never tried?
01:22I...
01:23I...
01:23I don't know.
01:27Oh, my God.
01:28Why does wrong feel this good?
01:31It's so addictive.
01:34I can't let myself fall any deeper.
01:37You like it.
01:38I can tell.
01:39It's just a game.
01:41But...
01:41Thanks.
02:00I love this suit of yours.
02:02Is it vintage or just well-worn?
02:06Oh.
02:08You're insane?
02:09Oops.
02:10Love your coat.
02:11Might need to lose it now.
02:23That's Ethan White, right?
02:25The photographer?
02:26Didn't know he was hot, too.
02:28Hiding a face like that behind a camera feels criminal.
02:35Have we met?
02:38Well, well...
02:39I don't mind reenacting our last encounter.
02:42Oh, Bart.
02:44Didn't expect to see you here.
02:46Quick intro.
02:48I'm Liam.
02:49Been following your work ever since your first shoot for V Magazine.
03:04You don't just take pictures.
03:06You catch what people are feeling deep down, like you see straight through them.
03:11Makes me wonder, what do you see in me?
03:15Uh...
03:15Everyone's got their own story.
03:17I just capture a moment of it through my lens.
03:19So...
03:20What's my story in this moment, then?
03:24I'm...
03:24Not sure I'm the right one for you.
03:26Sorry about that.
03:28Did I misread that?
03:30Or are you just too scared to admit it?
03:35If you'll excuse me.
03:36I need to step out for a minute.
03:58Ethan!
04:00Ethan!
04:01Ethan?
04:02What the hell are you so afraid of?
04:11Don't ask me that.
04:12I just...
04:13I need you to stay away.
04:15I want to forget what happened.
04:18I'm not scared.
04:20I just don't rent headspace to people who don't matter.
04:50There's my runway rock star.
04:52Curtains up, baby.
04:54Time to shine.
05:00New beginnings.
05:03And even bigger backends.
05:10Shit.
05:11The champagne.
05:15Shit.
05:17The champagne.
05:31Fuck.
05:33Hey, the hell man?
05:36That's my face.
05:38Ethan, slow down.
05:40What the hell is going on?
05:46Michael!
05:47Michael!
05:55Huh.
05:57Huh?
06:19Michael? Michael?
06:20Michael? You smell like coconut oil. I love coconuts.
06:41Are my pants mad at me?
06:45Oh, stop!
06:53Why?
07:00What the hell did you do?
07:03You're being dramatic. I didn't do anything.
07:18You saw it?
07:20He spiked the drink.
07:24So, did you come back to save me?
07:36Good morning, Mr. Ethan White.
07:41Liam?
07:44Surprised? Your 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.
08:17Oh, Ethan.
08:24That's it. Perfect.
08:30You won't believe this. Brody. The Brody. He just said yes to our next cover.
08:34But what about Liam?
08:37Come on. It's Brody. You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:42But...
08:51Join us for dinner? My treat.
08:54Thanks, but I've got plans.
09:08Huh.
09:09Well, well, well. Weren't this cover supposed to be you?
09:13What happened? Did 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? Please.
09:41He's just deep in the closet. He's bent like a spiral by now.
09:56We need to talk.
09:57What's going on, Alex?
10:01You guys still think Ethan's straight? Please. He's just deep in the closet.
10:05Is it true Brody wants you as his sugar baby?
10:08Those are just rumors.
10:10Investors don't care if they're rumors. And it's bleeding into your father's business.
10:17Your dad wants you home for dinner. He's getting remarried.
10:21Wants everyone there.
10:23My father's getting remarried?
10:25Okay, I'll be there.
10:28Liam, think this through and calm down. You want to 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. It may hurt your career.
11:00I know. But he shouldn't have come after you. You.
11:08So, everyone's seen that clip of Model Ryan at the V Magazine Gala, right? Caught sneaking around? Filming people like
11:14a creep?
11:16Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover.
11:18Didn't think he turned out to be that sleazy. Anyway, let's take a look at the video.
11:49Let's go.
11:51Shit.
11:55You're dropping me over gossip?
12:00It's not gossip anymore. Our advertisers want clean air.
12:12You're joking. He's getting the supplement cover?
12:18What can I say? Timing.
12:26Doors that way. Try not to chip the paint.
12:33So, where do we begin?
12:50Ethan, you have an insane eye. Working with you, it changed something for me. You pull the best out of
12:57people.
12:59Thanks. And you? You made the work easy. I wasn't just talking about work. Liam.
13:05You make me feel seen. Like, really seen.
13:12I need some air.
13:24Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push. I just couldn't hold it in anymore.
13:31I know what it's like. I know what it's like to want something so much, it scares you.
13:44I'm sorry. I shouldn't.
13:48It's just a wait.
13:49I'm sorry. There's no way what it is.
14:18Great. She paints. She listens. Honestly, probably too good for him.
14:24Speaking of your love life, Spill, any mysterious figures I should vet?
14:29It's complicated.
14:32Ooh, that's a yes.
14:34Tell me hot, rich, emotionally unavailable, royal blood.
14:40Bye, Mia.
14:56Bye, Mia.
15:20Hey, uh...
15:22Liam?
15:23Ethan? What are you doing here?
15:27I live here.
15:29Wait, this is Charles' house?
15:32Yeah, he's my dad.
15:35So that means my mom is...
15:38Your 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?
16:02Your father says you've always been the independent one.
16:05Always off chasing something new.
16:07Yeah, more or less.
16:09Though I heard there was a time you almost settled down.
16:16Oh, he was committed.
16:18Guest list, caterers, the whole circus.
16:21Let's not.
16:23People change.
16:25And some things are better left where they belong.
16:29You know, I just had a thought.
16:32Maybe Ethan and Liam can have a joint wedding someday.
16:36So hurry up and find girlfriends.
16:39Mom, what are you talking about?
16:41What? What's wrong with that?
16:43Two brothers, one wedding.
16:46Think of how much you'd save on the venue.
16:53Congrats again. Really.
16:55Thank you, Ethan.
16:58I should get going.
16:59Some edits to finish.
17:22I'm not here to make things harder.
17:24I just want to talk.
17:26Call me.
17:36Hey, I didn't mean to dig.
17:38I just care.
17:41A lot.
17:56Just wrapped a shoot.
17:58Missed when you were behind the lens.
18:00How's your day looking?
18:02Don't forget.
18:04Who's your day looking?
18:13This is what michael has to fare.
18:13To get to know, this is it.
18:15I'm cinricket salesman!
18:16Here...
18:19I'm not gonna give advice.
18:27Oh grundsy did about music.
18:28How Sam made that dinner?
18:44Stop!
18:58If anyone's seen my step-brother photographer, dumb smile, unreal eyes, suspiciously good kisser, 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...
19:43Everything got messy.
19:46I needed space to think.
19:50And? Feel 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 play step-brothers now?
20:09We're not just some label.
20:11Friend.
20:12Partner.
20:13Brother.
20:15Call 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.
20:36But I know one thing.
20:39I don't want to not be around you.
20:42Too 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 taken a liking to your golden boy.
21:04Brody.
21:05Hunter.
21:07This Wednesday, 8pm, at Brody's office.
21:11Good luck.
21:12Oh my god!
21:14Brody!
21:15What should I wear?
21:28Mr. Hunter, your guest is here.
21:31Send him in.
21:33Welcome, Michael.
21:35Uh, nice outfit.
21:37Evening, Mr. Hunter.
21:39Let's keep this simple.
21:41I'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.
22:06Sorry, 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?
22:48Nice.
22:48Liam, that energy lock it in.
22:51Who's that one?
22:52Back row, left.
22:54Liam Carter.
22:55We're supposed to lead today, but he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:01Wrong choice.
23:04Running fashionably late.
23:05Or just late, late.
23:07Look who made it.
23:09Pretty boys are like apps.
23:10Always a new one coming.
23:12You?
23:13You're already glitching.
23:15Then lucky for you, the queues for pretty boys only.
23:18Might be your last shot.
23:20Oh, please.
23:22At least I didn't sleep my way to a maybe.
23:25No wonder they dropped you.
23:33Liam, great.
23:34You're here.
23:34Come meet someone important.
23:37This is Ms. Grace Blake from Valori's PR team.
23:42Ms. Blake.
23:43Pleasure to meet you.
23:45Likewise.
23:46You handled today well, considering the circumstances.
23:52Ms. Blake, I didn't realize you were on site.
23:55About earlier.
23:56I truly didn't mean.
23:59Just make sure you return the watch to wardrobe.
24:02It's borrowed.
24:03And not cheap.
24:04Right.
24:06Of course.
24:09I'm sorry.
24:13We value grace under pressure.
24:16I saw that in you today.
24:24You didn't tell me you could cook.
24:26Should I be impressed or concerned?
24:31I contain multitudes.
24:46I don't cook.
24:47But I'm an excellent assistant.
24:49Give me something to do?
24:51You're making it very hard to focus right now.
25:02I'm so happy you two became good friends so fast.
25:06I love you both.
25:09Love you too, Mom.
25:11Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:22You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:25Shut up.
25:37Thanks for the ride.
25:38I should go.
25:41Okay.
25:42You could at least pretend to be bummed.
25:45But I'm not.
25:49You keep looking at me like that, and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:00You keep looking at me like that, and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:04You keep looking at me like that, and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:41We're thrilled to have Valerie on board.
26:44We've put together a proposal we really believe in, and we're equally excited to have Liam
26:49joining us for this feature.
26:52Thank you, Harper.
26:53This is exactly the kind of visibility we're looking for.
26:58And this is our creative director.
27:01She will oversee design coordination and campaign tone.
27:09As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:13We're open to suggestions.
27:16As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:19We're open to suggestions.
27:21If we're talking about the shoot, I'd love to recommend Ethan White.
27:29He's incredible.
27:30Smart.
27:31Fast.
27:31His work is beautiful.
27:33I think he'd be perfect for this.
27:34No, that won't be happening.
27:35Wait.
27:36I don't get it.
27:38Ethan's one of the best.
27:41What's the issue?
27:43It's not up for discussion.
27:45Valori has certain standards.
27:47Ethan White doesn't meet them.
27:59Let's move on.
28:04What was that?
28:05Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:07Did something happen?
28:10No one knows for sure, but the lorries avoided Ethan for years.
28:15Some kind of fallout.
28:17No one talks about it.
28:19Trust me.
28:21Don't tush it.
28:25What was that?
28:26Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:28Did something happen?
28:30No one knows for sure, but the lorries avoided Ethan for years.
28:36Some kind of fallout.
28:37No one talks about it.
28:39Trust me.
28:41Don't tush it.
29:01You lost?
29:02Or just dramatically loitering?
29:15You gonna tell me what happened in there, or am I supposed to guess?
29:19Nothing major.
29:21Just...
29:22A weird day.
29:27Having a brother like you could be worse.
29:49You gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:52You are on someone else's schedule lately.
29:55Brody.
29:55Not yours.
29:57All right.
29:58I've been working with Brody.
30:00Kind of...
30:01Accidentally, at first.
30:03You don't accidentally work with Brody Hunter.
30:06He asked about you.
30:08Wanted to know what you were like, off camera.
30:10I gave him some thoughts.
30:12I gave him some thoughts.
30:12He pulled me in.
30:13Why didn't you just say that?
30:14Because I didn't want it to feel weird.
30:17I wasn't hiding it.
30:18Also, he's planning something.
30:21For you.
30:22Okay.
30:23Next time, tell me earlier.
30:25We're supposed to be friends, remember?
30:28Always.
30:29You'll know everything next time.
30:31Promise.
30:49Can we get a photo?
30:51Only if my very handsome stepbrother joins too.
30:55You two could model together.
30:56Seriously.
31:00We're just here for the cake.
31:35Can't take it anymore.
31:36Want 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.
32:30I came prepared.
32:44God, we're so bad at this formal thing.
32:49Today was nice, though.
32:51Seeing them like that.
32:52Vows and all.
32:54Kind of wild how normal we looked out there.
32:58Like a real family.
33:00Real brothers.
33:07I don't want to just be your brother, Liam.
33:10I don't want to just be your brother, Liam.
33:20Had enough of looking?
33:21Why not leave?
33:27How one's
33:28They're so close.
33:30Yeah.
33:40So long.
33:46I love you.
33:47What's out there?
33:48Oh yes?
33:50I love you.
33:51I love you.
33:51I love you.
33:51What's in my life?
33:51Oh, my God.
34:27Oh, my God.
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.
35:23My 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!
36:43This 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, great timing.
38:31Seriously?
38:32Making out in your office?
38:38Emily, this, it's not...
38:40Relax.
38:41You think I didn't already guess?
38:44Brody's contract is here.
38:47And please, lock 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, then 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.
39:38Huh?
39:44Guess I should be scared, then.
39:45ะฑัะปะฐ going.
40:15Goodbye, aren't you?
40:15I don't know.
40:45Damn it! I don't care if it's Velary or Vee Magazine. We're getting that breach fee.
40:51You 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.
42:55If the lorry replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages.
42:59Ethan, what are you...
43:00That's non-negotiable.
43:09Ethan, what are you...
43:12Valori dropped you?
43:14Things shift fast.
43:15There's something there, right?
43:17It's because of me.
43:21What do you mean?
43:26Grace is my ex-fiancรฉe.
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.
43:43It's targeted at me.
43:46I dragged you into this.
43:53First, this isn't your fault.
43:56Grace is just petty.
43:58Second, don't talk about dragging me down.
44:01Those words don't exist between us.
44:04Grace, the fact that you're willing to tell me this is enough.
44:10Besides, Brody already stood up for me.
44:13Grace can't turn the tide.
44:15And hey, I'm not some pushover who just takes things lying down.
44:20This isn't over.
44:22I'm sorry.
44:25Thanks.
44:42Jealous?
44:43Jealous?
44:45It's just work.
44:46No, I am not.
44:49Oh?
44:51Then why haven't you let go of that camera since we started?
44:55Babe, if you're jealous, just say it.
44:58Don't be stubborn.
45:13Admitting you're jealous now?
45:16I hope you kill it.
45:17I really do.
45:20I know, babe.
45:25Next week.
45:26Yes.
45:27Liam's tight, but I'll move a few things around.
45:30Absolutely.
45:35Nope.
45:36He's booked.
45:37Try me in three weeks.
45:38Maybe.
45:49Yeah, this is Liam's agent.
45:51Who's calling?
45:52Liam Carter's breakout music video is being hailed as provocative, intimate, and one of
45:57the year's most daring visual statements.
46:02Son of a bitch!
46:34For Liam Carter, from Mr. Brody Hunter.
47:01You planning on keeping it?
47:04Hell no.
47:05I 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.
47:14Who needs a car?
47:15That's so like you.
47:32Cut!
47:43Hey, that last scene?
47:45You nailed it.
47:46You've got real presents.
47:48Thanks.
47:49That's...wow.
47:50Appreciate it.
47:52Jason Keller.
47:54I produce films.
47:56Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
47:59I mean, yeah.
48:01I've been hoping to.
48:05Let's grab dinner.
48:07I'd love to talk projects.
48:09Absolutely.
48:11I'm in.
48:22I'm in.
48:24You will not believe what just happened.
48:26Okay.
48:27Okay.
48:27What happened?
48:28Dinner with Keffer Pictures.
48:30They want me in their next movie.
48:32Me!
48:33Lead role!
48:34That's incredible.
48:38I'm so proud of you.
48:40I couldn't have done it without you.
48:52Let's go on!
48:53I think go on.
48:53Oh man.
49:02No!
49:03This is my turn!
49:03Better?
49:06Better!
49:08Oh man!
49:09Life's long, struggles and pain
49:11But I thought we'll never go away
49:15I never thought that you would be the one
49:18And tell you what I meant
49:20And with you I found a place to call our own
49:23Oh, it's just amazing when you've been facing me
49:27It's like I know I'm in the time
49:31I need to tell you the truth
49:44God, if every day felt like this, I'd never leave
49:49Then don't
49:52What?
49:57Move in with me
49:59What did you say?
50:01I said, for all the days to come
50:03I want to wake up and see you every single day
50:10Yeah
50:11Yeah, I'd love that
50:16Oh
50:16Oh
