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.
01:27God, why 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 thanks.
01:47Thanks.
02:01I love this suit of yours.
02:03Is it vintage or just well-worn?
02:06Ugh.
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.
02:36Have 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.
03:06You 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?
03:15Uh, 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.
03:26Sorry about that.
03:29Did 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!
04:01Ethan!
04:02What the hell are you so afraid of?
04:11Don't ask me that.
04:13Don't ask me that.
04:13I just...
04:13I need you to stay away.
04:15I want to forget what happened.
04:18I'm not scared.
04:19I just don't rent headspace to people who don't matter.
04:47I just don't rent headspace to people who don't matter.
04:50There's my runway rock star.
04:53Curtains up, baby.
04:54Time to shine.
05:01It's a new beginning.
05:03And even bigger backends.
05:10Shit.
05:12The champagne.
05:16Shit.
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?
05:45Michael!
05:55Huh.
05:58Huh.
05:59Huh.
06:00Huh.
06:12Huh.
06:16Huh.
06:17Huh.
06:18Huh.
06:18Huh.
06:18Huh.
06:19Huh.
06:20Michael?
06:23You...
06:24You...
06:25smell like...
06:27coconut oil.
06:29Hmm.
06:30Mmm, I love coconuts!
06:42Are... are my pants mad at me?
06:45Oh, oh, oh, stop!
06:52Why?
07:01What the hell did you do?
07:03You're being dramatic. I didn't do anything.
07:19You saw it?
07:20He spiked the drink.
07:24So, did you come back to save me?
07:30I 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.
08:04Ahem.
08:06Let's...
08:06Get started.
08:18Oh...
08:19Ethan.
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.
08:43But...
08:44The Brody.
08:44The Brody.
08:46The Brody.
08:48The Brody.
08:50The Brody.
08:51Join us for dinner?
08:53My treat.
08:54Thanks, but... I've got plans.
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. He's just deep in the closet. He'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. He's just deep in the closet.
10:05True. 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.
10:17Your dad wants you home for dinner.
10:20He's getting remarried.
10:21Wants everyone there.
10:23My 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, I 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.
11:07So, 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.
11:21Anyway, let's take a look at the video.
11:45Okay.
11:50Shit.
11:55You're dropping me over gossip?
12:00It's not gossip anymore.
12:02Our advertisers want clean air.

15:22Liam?
15:23Ethan?
15:24What are you doing here?
15:27I live here.
15:29Wait, this is Charles's 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.
15:51That makes things easier.
15:54Absolutely.
15:55It almost feels...
15:57Meant to be.
15:58Been too long since we had a proper family dinner.
16:00Feels good, huh?
16:02Your father says you've always been the independent one.
16:05Always off chasing something new.
16:08Yeah, more or less.
16:09Though 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.
16:24People 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?
16:41What's wrong with that?
16:43Two brothers, one wedding.
16:46Think of how much you'd save on the venue.
16:53Congrats again.
16:54Really.
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.
17:28Call me.
17:36Hey, I didn't mean to dig.
17:38I just care.
17:41A lot.
17:57Just wrap the shoot.
17:58Missed when you were behind the lens.
18:00How's your day looking?
18:03How's your day looking?
18:45Stop!
18:57If anyone's seen my stepbrother photographer,
19:00dumb smile, unreal eyes, suspiciously good kisser, tell him I'm looking.
19:20I heard you were looking for someone who kisses pretty well.
19:30Ethan, thank God.
19:33I'm sorry.
19:34I 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.
19:58But with this family thing,
20:00I'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.
20:36But 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?
20:46We'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.
21:11Good 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.
21:34Uh, 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.
21:50Now, tell me everything about him.
22:02Michael.
22:03What the hell?
22:04I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:06Sorry.
22:06I 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?
22:29Him?
22:30Seriously?
22:31Him?
22:33Him?
22:48Nice.
22:48Liam, that energy, lock it in.
22:51Who's that one?
22:53Back row, left.
22:54Liam Carter was supposed to lead today, but he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:00Hmm.
23:01Wrong choice.
23:04Running fashionably late.
23:05Or just late, late.
23:07Look 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, 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.
23:45You 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.
24:08I'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 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.
24:57Mmm.
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.
25:22You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:26Shut up.
25:37Thanks for the ride.
25:39I should...
25:39Go.
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?
26:30Michael, now?
26:31Really?
26:33Seriously?
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.
27:10As for the shoot, any preferred photographers, we're open to suggestions.
27:16As for the shoot, any preferred photographers, we'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.
27:34No, that won't be happening.
27:36Wait, I don't get it.
27:38Ethan's one of the best.
27:41What's the issue?
27:43It's not up for discussion.
27:45Valerie has certain standards.
27:47Ethan White doesn't meet 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, but the Lori's avoided Ethan for years.
28:16Some kind of fallout.
28:17No one talks about it.
28:19Trust me.
28:21Don't tush it.
28:25What was that?
28:26Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:30No one knows for sure, but the Lori's avoided Ethan for years.
28:36Some kind of fallout.
28:38No one talks about it.
28:40Trust me.
28:41Don'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?
29:19Nothing 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?
29:52You are on someone else's schedule lately.
29:55Not yours.
29:57Ahem.
29:58Alright.
29:58I've been working with Brody.
30:00Kind of accidentally, at first.
30:03Heh.
30:04You 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.
30:18Also, 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.
30:28You'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.
30:57Seriously.
31:00We're just here for the cake.
31:10Say hi-
31:10Google are a hard thing to show.
31:12Oh?
