00:17All right, hit me.
00:19Wow, dare.
00:21What's my punishment?
00:24Kiss him.
00:31Wait, him?
00:33But he's a guy.
00:37So, it's a dare.
00:51So, I lost the game and they dared me to kiss you.
00:59If 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?
01:20Or you've just never tried?
01:23I...
01:23I don't know.
01:27God, why does wrong feel this good?
01:31It's so addictive.
01:34I can't let myself fall any deeper.
01:38You like it.
01:39I can tell.
01:39It's just a game.
01:41But thanks.
01:43Thanks.
02:01I love this suit of yours.
02:03Is 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.
02:24That's Ethan White, right?
02:25The photographer?
02:26Didn't know he was hot, too.
02:29Hiding a face like that behind the camera feels criminal.
02:36Have 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.
02:47Quick 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.
03:07You catch what people are feeling deep down.
03:09Like you see straight through them.
03:11Makes me wonder.
03:12What do you see in me?
03:14Uh, everyone's got their own story.
03:17I just capture a moment of it through my lens.
03:19So, what's my story in this moment, then?
03:24I'm not sure I'm the right one for you.
03:27Sorry about that.
03:29Did I misread that?
03:30Or are you just too scared to admit it?
03:35If you'll excuse me, I need to step out for a minute.
03:58Ethan!
04:00Ethan!
04:03What the hell are you so afraid of?
04:06I don't know.
04:11Don't ask me that.
04:13I just...
04:14I need you to stay away.
04:15I want to forget what happened.
04:19I'm not scared.
04:21I just don't rent headspace to people who don't matter.
04:25I don't know.
04:26I don't know.
04:51There's my runway rock star.
04:53Curtains up, baby.
04:55Time to shine.
05:00To new beginnings.
05:03And even bigger backends.
05:11Shit.
05:12The champagne.
05:16Shit.
05:17The champagne.
05:39What the hell is going on?
05:46It'sdepartists me.
05:48Michael!
05:56Huh.
05:58Huh.
05:59Huh.
06:01Huh.
06:02Huh.
06:02Ugh.
06:05Huh.
06:06Huh.
06:07Huh.
06:07Huh.
06:07Huh.
06:08Huh.
06:09Huh.
06:10Huh.
06:10What the hell?
06:18Michael? Michael?
06:23You smell like coconut oil.
06:31I love coconuts.
06:41Are... are my pants mad at me?
06:45Whoa, whoa, whoa, stop!
06:53Why?
07:01What the hell did you do?
07:04You're being dramatic. I didn't do anything.
07:19You saw it?
07:21He spiked the drink.
07:24So, did you come back to save me?
07:38Morning, 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.
08:05Let's... get started.
08:17Oh, Ethan.
08:25That's it. Perfect.
08:30You won't believe this. Brody. The Brody. He just said yes to our next cover.
08:35But... what about Liam?
08:37Come on! It's Brody! You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:41But...
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?
09:15What happened? Did Brody steal your spotlight?
09:17Guess playing Ethan's little lapdog didn't pay off.
09:20Huh.
09:25Pathetic.
09:35Ryan's running his mouth on livestream again.
09:39You guys still think Ethan's straight? Please.
09:41He's just deep in the closet.
09:42He's bent like a spiral by now.
09:56We need to talk.
09:58What's going on, Alex?
10:01You guys still think Ethan's straight? Please.
10:03He'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.
10:12And it's bleeding into your father's business.
10:18Your dad wants you home for dinner.
10:20He's getting remarried.
10:21Wants everyone there.
10:24My father's getting remarried?
10:26Okay. I'll be there.
10:29Liam! Think this through and calm down.
10:31You 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.
10:44I don't care if you talk shit about me.
10:46But you shouldn't do this to Ethan.
10:55Ethan?
10:56You were too impulsive.
10:58It 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?
11:14Filming 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.
11:21Anyway, let's take a look at the video.
11:51Shit.
11:52Shit.
11:56You're dropping me over gossip?
12:00It's not gossip anymore.
12:02Our advertisers want clean air.
12:12You're joking.
12:14He's getting the supplement cover?
12:18What can I say?
12:21Timing.
12:26Doors that way.
12:28Try not to chip the paint.
12:34So, where do we begin?
12:50Ethan.
12:51Ethan.
12:51You.
12:51Have an insane eye.
12:53Working with you.
12:54It changed something for me.
12:56You pull the best out of people.
13:00Nice.
13:00And you?
13:01You made the work easy.
13:03I wasn't just talking about work.
13:05Liam.
13:05You make me feel seen.
13:07Like.
13:08Really seen.
13:12I need some air.
13:25Hey.
13:26I'm sorry.
13:26I didn't mean to push.
13:28I just.
13:28Couldn't hold it in anymore.
13:32I know what it's like.
13:33To want something so much.
13:35It scares you.
13:45Sorry.
13:47I shouldn't.
13:49Sorry.
13:50I shouldn't.
13:54Sorry.
13:59I shouldn't.
14:03Wait.
14:05Yes.
14:07I shouldn't.
14:07Jesus, Mia.
14:08Time zones?
14:09Ever heard of them?
14:11Boring.
14:11So?

14:14Monster or mildly insufferable?
14:16She's actually great.
14:19She paints.
14:20She listens.

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.
19:51And?
19:52Feel any clearer?
19:55A little, Liam.
19:57I 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 stepbrothers 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.
20:42Too bad.
20:43You're stuck with me.
20:44Family, right?
20:46We'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?
21:29Mr. Hunter, your guest is here.
21:31Send him in.
21:34Welcome, Michael.
21:35Uh, nice outfit.
21:37Evening, Mr. Hunter.
21:39Let's keep this simple.
21:41I've been watching Liam Carter's Rise.
21:43He'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.
21:51Now, tell me everything about him.
22:03Michael, what the hell?
22:04I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:06Sorry, I sent the wrong info.
22:08I 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!
22:49Liam, that energy, lock it in.
22:52Who's that one?
22:53Back row, left.
22:53Liam Carter was supposed to lead today.
22:56But he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:00Hmm.
23:01Wrong choice.
23:04Running fashionably late.
23:06Or just late late.
23:07Haha, look who made it.
23:09Pretty boys are like abs.
23:11Always a new one coming.
23:12You?
23:13You're already glitching.
23:15Then lucky for you, the queue's for pretty boys only.
23:19Might 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.
23:38This is Ms. Grace Blake from Valori's PR Team.
23:42Ms. Blake, pleasure to meet you.
23:45Likewise.
23:46You handled today well, considering the circumstances.
23:52Ms. Blake, I didn't realize you were on site about earlier.
23:56I truly didn't mean...
23:59Just make sure you return the watch to wardrobe.
24:02It's borrowed and 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.
24:27Should I be impressed?
24:28Or concerned?
24:31I contain multitudes.
24:46I don't cook.
24:47I don't cook.
24:48But I'm an excellent assistant.
24:50Give me something to do?
24:51You're making it very hard to focus right now.
25:02I'm like, sweetie.
25:04I'm so happy you two became good friends so fast.
25:06I love you both.
25:10Love you, too, Mum.
25:11Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:22You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:26Shut up.
25:37Thanks for the ride.
25:39I should go.
25:41Okay.
25:43You 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.
26:28Seriously?
26:29Michael, now?
26:31Really?
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.
26:54This is exactly the kind of visibility we're looking for.
26:59And 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.
27:21If we're talking about the shoot, I'd love to recommend Ethan White.
27:26Ethan White.
27:29He's incredible.
27:30Smart.
27:31Fast.
27:32His work is beautiful.
27:33I think he'd be perfect for this.
27:34That 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 need them.
27:59Let's move on.
28:04What was that?
28:06Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:07Did something happen?
28:10No one knows for sure.
28:12But Valori has avoided Ethan for years.
28:16Some kind of fallout.
28:17No one talks about it.
28:19Trust me.
28:21Don't push it.
28:25What was that?
28:26Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:28Did something happen?
28:31No one knows for sure.
28:32No one knows for sure.
28:33But Valori has avoided Ethan for years.
28:36Some kind of fallout.
28:38No one talks about it.
28:40Trust me.
28:41Don't push it.
29:01You lost?
29:02Or just dramatically loitering?
29:15You gonna tell me what happened in there?
29:17Or am I supposed to guess?
29:19Nothing major.
29:20After just...
29:22A weird day.
29:27Having a brother like you...
29:30Could be worse.
29:49You gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:52You are on someone else's schedule lately.
29:55Not yours.
29:57Ahem.
29:58Alright.
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.
30:12He 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...
30:19He'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.
31:23We're just here for the cake.
31:27We're just here for the cake.
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?
32:02There's no need to explain.
32:05My heart don't need a reason.
32:09It's all here.
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.
32:33I came prepared.
32:47I do.

38:20mom
38:21a
38:23Oh, God.
38:29Hey, Emily. Great timing.
38:31Seriously? Making out in your office?
38:38Emily, this, it's not...
38:40Relax. You think I didn't already guess?
38:45Brody'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?
39:29Just 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?
39:44I guess I should be scared, then.
39:46Huh?
39:52Yeah.
40:03Oh, God.
40:12Oh, God.
40:15I don't know.
40:45Damn it! I don't care if it's Velary or V 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.
42:54If Velary replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages.
42:59That's non-negotiable.
43:09Ethan? What are you...
43:12Velary dropped you?
43:14Things shift fast.
43:16There's something there, right?
43:17It's because of me.
43:21What do you mean?
43:26Grace is my ex-fiancée.
43:31We were engaged.
43:34I 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.
43:53First, this isn't your fault.
43:56Grace is just petty.
43:58Second, don'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 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.
44:19This isn't over.
44:22I'm sorry.
44:25Thanks.
44:42Jealous?
44:43Relax.
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.
45:01Don'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, he's booked.
45:36Try 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!
46:10We did it.
46:12You're everywhere.
46:13The video's blowing up.
46:15It's crazy.
46:16Two months ago, I was just another name on a list.
46:24Ah!
46:30Ah!
46:31Ah!
46:31Ah!
46:33Ah!
46:34For Liam Carter, from Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:48Okay.
46:50What the hell is this?
46:54You've got to be kidding me.
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?
47:16That'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...
47:49Wow.
47:50Appreciate it.
47:51Jason Keller.
47:53Jason Keller.
47:54I produce films.
47:56Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
47:59I mean...
48:00Yeah.
48:01I've been hoping to.
48:05Let's grab dinner.
48:07I'd love to talk projects.
48:09Absolutely.
48:10I'm in.
48:22Babe.
48:24You will not believe what just happened.
48:26Okay.
48:27Okay.
48:27What happened?
48:28Dinner with Kefir 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.
49:05I was leaving.
49:07To go back to see.
49:08All my life's long, struggles and pain
49:11But we'll never go away
49:15I never thought that you would be the one
49:18And 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 don't mind, it's like you're trying to go
49:32I need to tell you how to
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, yeah I'd love that
50:16Oh, man
50:18Oh, man
50:19Oh, man
50:20Oh, man
50:20Oh, man
50:25Oh, man
