00:17All right, hit me.
00:19Wow, dare.
00:22What's my punishment?
00:25Kiss 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.
01:03Pretend I chickened out.
01:05So, you're saying you're not into me?
01:09That's not what I...
01:11It's just...
01:13Am I not handsome enough tonight?
01:15You're fine.
01:17I just don't...
01:18I...
01:18I can't.
01:19You can't?
01:20Or you've just never tried?
01:23I...
01:24I don't know.
01:28God, why does wrong feel this good?
01:31It's so addictive.
01:35I can't let myself fall any deeper.
01:38You like it.
01:39I can tell.
01:40It's just a game.
01:41But thanks.
02:01I love this suit of yours.
02:03Is it vintage or just well-worn?
02:07Oh, you're insane?
02:09Oops.
02:11Love your coat.
02:12Might need to lose it now.
02:24That's Ethan White, right?
02:25The photographer?
02:27Didn'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.
02:43Oh, far.
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.
03:05You 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.
03:13What do you see in me?
03:15Uh, everyone's got their own story.
03:17I just capture a moment of it through my lens.
03:20So, 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.
03:59Ethan!
04:01Ethan!
04:03What the hell are you so afraid of?
04:12Don't ask me that.
04:13I just...
04:14I need you to stay away.
04:16I want to forget what happened.
04:19I'm not scared.
04:21I just don't rent headspace to people who don't matter.
04:51There's my runway rock star.
04:52Curtains up, baby.
04:55Time to shine.
05:01It's a new beginning.
05:03And even bigger backends.
05:11Shit.
05:12The champagne.
05:16Shit.
05:17The champagne.
05:18The champagne.
05:32Fuck.
05:34Hey, the hell man?
05:36That's my face.
05:38Ethan, slow down.
05:40What the hell is going on?
05:45What the hell is going on?
05:46What the hell is going on?
05:50What the hell is going on?
05:51What the hell is going on?
05:53What the hell is going on?
05:53What the hell is going on?
05:54What the hell is going on?
05:54What the hell is going on?
05:55What the hell is going on?
05:56What the hell is going on?
05:56What the hell is going on?
05:57What the hell is going on?
05:58What the hell is going on?
06:04What the hell is going on?
06:19Michael, Michael
06:21You smell like coconut oil
06:31I love coconuts
06:42Are... are my pants mad at me?
06:46Whoa, whoa, stop!
06:53Why?
07:01What the hell did you do?
07:03You're being dramatic, I didn't do anything
07:18You saw it?
07:20He spiked the drink
07:25So, did you come back to save me?
07:38Morning, Mr. Ethan White
07:42Liam?
07:44Surprised?
07:45Your next cover is me
07:52I'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
08:26Perfect
08:30You won't believe this
08:31Brody
08:32The Brody
08:33He just said yes to our next cover
08:35But what about Liam?
08:37Come on, it's Brody
08:39You're about to shoot a global icon
08:42But
08:50Join us for dinner?
08:53My treat
08:54Thanks, but I've got plans
09:09Well, well, well, well
09:11Weren't this cover supposed to be you?
09:14What happened?
09:15Did 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?
09:41Please
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?
10:03Please
10:03He's just deep in the closet
10:05True, Brody wants you as his sugar baby
10:08Those are just rumors
10:09Investors don't care if they're rumors
10:13And it's bleeding into your father's business
10:18Your dad wants you home for dinner
10:20He's getting remarried
10:22Wants 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
10:35Guys 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
10:56Ethan?
10:57You were too impulsive
10:58It may hurt your career
11:00I know
11:01But he shouldn't have come after you
11:04You
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
11:22I don't care if you're putting your internet in the video
11:25I'm not sure if you're putting them on video

15:22Liam?
15:24Ethan? 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...
15:39Your 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.
16:08Yeah, more or less.
16:10Though 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.
16:24People change.
16:26And 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.
16:45Think of how much you'd save on the venue.
16:53Congrats again. Really.
16:55Thank you, Ethan.
16:58I should get going.
17:00Some edits to finish.
17:22I'm not here to make things harder.
17:25I just want to talk.
17:27Call me?
17:36Hey.
17:37I didn't mean to dig.
17:39I just...
17:40care.
17:41A lot.
17:43A lot.
17:56I just wrapped a shoe.
17:58Missed when you were behind the lens.
18:00How's your day looking?
18:01I just wrapped a shoe.
18:12I just wrapped a shoe.
18:15I just wrapped a shoe.
18:17I just wrapped a shoe.
18:18I just wrapped a shoe.
18:19I just wrapped a shoe.
18:20I just wrapped a shoe.
18:22I just wrapped a shoe.
18:22I just wrapped a shoe.
18:23I just wrapped a shoe.
18:24I just wrapped a shoe.
18:24I just wrapped a shoe.
18:25I just wrapped a shoe.
18:29I just wrapped a shoe.
18:45Stop!
18:47Stop!
18:58If anyone's seen my stepbrother photographer, dumb smile, unreal eyes, suspiciously good
19:05kisser, tell him I'm looking.
19:21Heard you were looking for someone who kisses pretty well.
19:30Ethan, thank god.
19:32I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vanished like that.
19:39It just...
19:44Everything 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.
19:59But 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?
20:07Or play stepbrothers now?
20:09We're not just some label.
20:11Friend.
20:13Partner.
20:14Brother.
20:15Call or whatever.
20:16It still feels like us.
20:21I have no clue where this is going.
20:24But I know one thing.
20:27I don't want to not be around you.
20:38Hmm.
20:43Too bad.
20:43You're stuck with me.
20:45Family, 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 taken a liking to your golden boy.
21:04Brody.
21:05Hunter?
21:08This Wednesday, 8pm, at Brody's office.
21:12Good luck.
21:13Oh, 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.
21:38Evening, Mr. Hunter.
21:40Let'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.
22:03What the hell?
22:04I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:06Sorry.
22:07I sent the wrong info.
22:08I stayed up too late last night.
22:10Shoot started an hour ago.
22:12What's the damage?
22:12They pulled your solo.
22:15Ryan stepped in.
22:16But they'll still use you in the group layout.
22:21Seriously?
22:22Him?
22:30Seriously?
22:32Him?
22:48Nice.
22:49Liam, that energy.
22:50Lock it in.
22:52Who's that one?
22:53Back row.
22:53Left.
22:54Liam Carter.
22:55We're 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.
23:08Haha.
23:08Look who made it.
23:09Pretty boys are like apps.
23:11Always a new one coming.
23:12You?
23:13You're already glitching.
23:15Then lucky for you.
23:16The 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.
23:35Come meet someone important.
23:38This is Ms. Grace Blake from Valori's PR Team.
23:43Ms. Blake.
23:44Pleasure to meet you.
23:45Likewise.
23:46You handled today well.
23:48Considering the circumstances.
23:52Ms. Blake.
23:53I didn't realize you were on site.
23:55About earlier.
23:57I 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.
24:14We value Grace under pressure.
24:16I saw that in you today.
24:25You didn't tell me you could cook.
24:27Should I be impressed?
24:29Or concerned?
24:31I contain multitudes.
24:46I 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.
24:58Mmm.
24:58Smells amazing.
25:00You guys cooking?
25:03I'm so happy you two became good friends so fast.
25:06I love you both.
25:10Love you too, Mom.
25:11Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:23You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:26Shut up.
25:37Thanks for the ride.
25:39I should...
25:40Go.
25:41Okay.
25:43You could at least pretend to be bummed.
25:45But I'm not.
25:50You keep looking at me like that.
25:52And I'm never getting out of this car.
26:01You keep looking at me like that.
26:03And I'm never getting out of this car.
26:28Seriously?
26:30Michael now?
26:31Really?
26:41We're thrilled to have Valerie on board.
26:45We've put together a proposal we really believe in.
26:48And we're equally excited to have Liam joining 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.
27:10As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:13We're open to suggestions.
27:16As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:20We're open to suggestions.
27:22If we're talking about the shoot, I'd love to recommend Ethan White.
27:29He's incredible, smart, fast.
27:32His work is beautiful.
27:33I think he'd be perfect for this.
27:35That won't be happening.
27:36Wait.
27:36I don't get it.
27:39Ethan's one of the best.
27:41What's the issue?
27:43It's not up for discussion.
27:45Valori has certain standards.
27:48Ethan White doesn't need them.
28:00Let's move on.
28:05What was that?
28:06Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:08Did something happen?
28:10No one knows for sure.
28:12But the Laurie's avoided Ethan for years.
28:16Some kind of fallout.
28:17No one talks about it.
28:19Trust me.
28:21Don't tush it.
28:25Don't tush it.
28:26What was that?
28:26Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:28Did something happen?
28:31No one knows for sure, but the Lori's avoided Ethan for years.
28:36Some kind of fallout, no one talks about it.
28:40Trust me, don't tush it.
29:01You lost, or just dramatically loitering?
29:15You gonna tell me what happened in there, or am I supposed to guess?
29:20Nothing major, just a weird day.
29:27Having a brother like you could be worse.
29:49So, you gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:51You are on someone else's schedule lately, not yours.
29:57Ahem.
29:58Alright, I've been working with Brody.
30:00Kind of accidentally, at first.
30:03Heh, you 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?
30:15Because I didn't want it to feel weird.
30:17I wasn't hiding it.
30:19Also, he's planning something.
30:21For you.
30:22Okay, next time tell me earlier.
30:25We're supposed to be friends, remember?
30:27Always.
30:29You'll know everything next time.
30:31Promise.
30:49Can we get a photo?
30:51Only if my very handsome stepbrother joins too.
30:54You two could model together.
30:57Seriously.
31:00We're just here for the cake.
31:08Bye.
31:11Bye.
31:35Can't take it anymore, wanna duck out for a bit?
31:42Do you dare leave?
31:45With you here, what's there to fear?
31:51Do you dare leave?
32:16I swear, posing for that many group shots is more exhausting
32:22than any campaign shoot I've done, but I'm glad you were in the frame with me.
32:31I came prepared.
32:44God, we're so bad at this formal thing.
32:49Today was nice though, seeing them like that, vows and all.
32:55Kinda wild how normal we looked out there.
32:58Like a real family.
33:00Real brothers.
33:08I don't wanna just be your brother, Liam.
33:20Had enough of looking?
33:22I don't know.
33:33I don't know.
33:40I don't know.
33:43I don't know.
33:47I don't know.
33:50I don't know.
33:54Oh, my God.
34:49Oh, my God.
34:56I know you're in there.
34:58Door, now.
35:00Oh, my God.
35:01Mia?
35:02Who the hell is Mia?
35:04My sister.
35:06She must have come back early.
35:13Oops.
35:22Well, well.
35:24My dear little brother.
35:26You've been hiding this deep?
35:29Sneaking around in my room?
35:32You've got some nerve.
35:35Yeah, um...
35:36Awkward.
35:37Hi, Mia.
35:41We didn't know this was your room.
35:43We were just...
35:44I don't need the details.
35:46I can imagine enough.
35:47Mia, please.
35:48Don't tell Mom and Dad.
35:50It's their big day.
35:52Don't ruin it.
35:53Please, we...
35:54We aren't ready for them to know yet.
35:59Relax.
36:00I'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.
36:10Stop messing up my bed.
36:15Hurry up and fix yourselves up.
36:17The guests are looking for you outside.
36:20Don't get caught, my two dear brothers.
36:28Thanks.
36:40Mia!
36:42Helen, this is my daughter, Mia.
36:45She finally made it.
36:46Mia!
36:47I've heard so much about you.
36:50It'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?
37:11About time.
37:12Who's the lucky girl?
37:13Maybe it's not a girl.
37:20Maybe it's not a girl.
37:24Heard you've been sniffing around my business, Uncle Alex.
37:28Looking to cash in?
37:30No thanks.
37:31I plan to spend my 60s with a clean record and both kidneys.
37:35Just enjoying the night, Uncle Alex.
37:37Nothing more.
37:59Still thinking about what Alex said at the wedding?
38:02Screw it.
38:23Oh, God.
38:29Hey, Emily.
38:31Great 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.
38:56Looks like besides keeping secrets, we have something else worth celebrating.
39:04Lock the door first.
39:05Then 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?
39:44Guess I should be scared then.
39:46Bye.
39:48Bye.
39:57Bye.
40:05Bye.
40:06Bye.
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.
41:00Forget 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.
41:39We're excited to confirm full sponsorship for your World Tour costumes.
41:43Digital. 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.
42:52The contract was clear.
42:55If Velary replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages.
43:00That'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-fiancé.
43:32We 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.
43:59Second, 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.
44:20This isn't over.
44:22I'm sorry.
44:25Thanks.
44:37I'm sorry.
44:42Jealous?
44:44Relax.
44:45It's just work.
44:46No, I am not.
44:49Oh?
44:52Then why haven't you let go of that camera since we started?
44:56Babe, if you're jealous, just say it.
44:58Don't be stubborn.
45:13Admitting you're jealous now?
45:16I hope you kill it.
45:18I really do.
45:20I know, babe.
45:25Next week.
45:27Yes.
45:27Liam's tight, but I'll move a few things around.
45:30Absolutely.
45:35Nope, he'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 the year's most daring visual statements.
46:02Son of a bitch!
46:11We did it!
46:12You're everywhere.
46:13The video's blowing up.
46:15It's crazy.
46:17Two months ago, I was just another name on a list.
46:35For Liam Carter, from Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:49I was just like, I don't know if I'm going to be kidding me, but I don't know if I'm
46:50going to be kidding me.
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.
47:47You've got real presents.
47:48Thanks.
47:49That's...
47:50Wow.
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.
48:06Let's grab dinner.
48:07I'd love to talk projects.
48:10Absolutely.
48:11I'm in.
48:23Babe!
48:23You will not believe what just happened.
48:26Okay.
48:27Okay.
48:28What happened?
48:29Dinner with Keffer Pictures.
48:31They want me in their next movie.
48:32Me!
48:33Lead role!
48:34That's incredible.
48:39I'm so proud of you.
48:40I couldn't have done it without you.
49:02I couldn't have done it without you.
49:10Struggles and dance.
49:12I don't know.
49:13I'm so proud of you.
49:14I'll never go away.
49:15I never thought that you would be the one.
49:19I'm telling you what I meant.
49:20And we knew I found a place to call our own.
49:23Oh, it's just amazing what you've been facing
49:27It's like I know I don't like it
49:31Every time I know I need to tell you I'm sorry
49:35Oh, it's just amazing what you've been facing
49:43God, 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, I want to wake up and see you every single day.
50:10Yeah, yeah, I'd love that.
50:16Oh, my God.
50:18Oh, my God.
50:20Oh, my God.
50:23Oh, my God.
50:23Oh, my God.
50:24Oh, my God.
50:26Oh, my God.
50:26Oh, my God.
50:26Oh, my God.
50:26Oh, my God.
