06:19Michael, Michael?
06:23You smell like coconut oil.
06:31I love coconuts.
06:41Are my pants mad at me?
06:45Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop!
06:53Why?
07:01What the hell did you do?
07:04You're being dramatic.
07:05I didn't do anything.
07:19You saw it?
07:21He spiked the drink.
07:25So, did you come back to save me?
07:27What the hell did you do?
07:37Morning, Mr. Ethan White.
07:42Liam?
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.
08:06Let's get started.
08:17Oh, Ethan.
08:26That's it.
08:27Perfect.
08:30You won't believe this.
08:32Brody.
08:32The Brody.
08:33He just said yes to our next cover.
08:35But what about Liam?
08:38Come on.
08:38It's Brody.
08:40You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:42But.
08:52Join us for dinner?
08:53My treat.
08:55Thanks, but I've got plans.
09:09Well, well, well.
09:11Weren't this cover supposed to be you?
09:14What happened?
09:15Did Brody steal your spotlight?
09:18Guess playing Ethan's little lapdog didn't pay off.
09:21Huh.
09:26Pathetic.
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.
09:43He'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.
10:04He'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.
10:18Your dad wants you home for dinner.
10:20He's getting remarried.
10:22He wants everyone there.
10:24My father's getting remarried?
10:26Okay.
10:27I'll be there.
10:29Liam, think this through and calm down.
10:32You want to be righteous or employed.
10:34If 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.
10:47But 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?
11:13Caught sneaking around?
11:14Filming people like a creep?
11:17Guess you really can't judge a book by its cover.
11:19Didn't think he'd turn out to be that sleazy.
11:21Anyway, let's take a look at the video.
11:50Oh, shit.
11:56You're dropping me over gossip?
12:00It's not gossip anymore.
12:03Our advertisers want clean air.
12:13You're joking.
12:14He's getting the supplement cover?
12:19What can I say?
12:21Timing.
12:26Doors that way.
12:28Try not to chip the paint.
12:34So, where do we begin?
12:50Ethan, you have an insane eye.
12:54Working with you, it changed something for me.
12:56You pull the best out of people.
13:00Thanks.
13:01And you?
13:02You made the work easy.
13:03I wasn't just talking about work.
13:05Liam.
13:06You make me feel seen.
13:08Like, really seen.
13:13I need some air.
13:25Hey, I'm sorry.
13:27I didn't mean to push.
13:28I just couldn't hold it in anymore.
13:32I know what it's like to want something so much, it scares you.
13:47Sorry.
13:48I shouldn't.
13:50Sorry.
13:52I shouldn't.
14:07Jesus, Mia. Time zones?
14:10Ever heard of them?
14:11Boring. So, what's the verdict?
14:14Dad's fiancé. Monster or mildly insufferable?
14:17She's actually great.
14:19She paints. She listens.
14:22Honestly, probably too good for him.
14:25Speaking of your love life, Spill.
14:28Any mysterious figures I should vet?
14:30It's complicated.
14:32Ooh, that's a yes.
14:35Tell me hot, rich, emotionally unavailable, royal blood.
14:41Bye, Mia.
15:03Hey.
15:14Bye.
15:21Hey, uh...
15:23Liam?
15:24Ethan? What are you doing here?
15:28I live here.
15:30Wait, this is Charles' house?
15:33Yeah, he's my dad.
15:36So that means my mom is...
15:39Your mom is marrying my dad?
15:49It's great you two already know each other.
15:51That makes things easier.
15:55Absolutely. It almost feels... meant to be.
15:58Been too long since we had a proper family dinner.
16:01Feels good, huh?
16:03Your father says you've always been the independent one.
16:06Always off chasing something new.
16:09Yeah, more or less.
16:10Though I heard there was a time you almost settled down.
16:16Oh, he was committed.
16:19Guest list, caterers, the whole circus.
16:22Let's not.
16:24People change.
16:26And some things are better left where they belong.
16:30You 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?
16:42What? What's wrong with that?
16:44Two brothers, one wedding.
16:46Think of how much you'd save on the venue.
16:54Congrats again. Really.
16:56Thank you, Ethan.
16:59I should get going.
17:00Some edits to finish.
17:23I'm not here to make things harder.
17:25I just want to talk.
17:27Call me.
17:37Hey, I didn't mean to dig.
17:39I just...
17:40care.
17:42A lot.
17:46Are you serious?
17:57Just wrapped a chute.
17:59Missed when you were behind the lens.
18:01How's your day looking?
18:04Now, I'll be honest.
18:23Uh...
18:23...
18:46Stop!
18:58If anyone's seen my stepbrother photographer, dumb smile, unreal eyes, suspiciously good
19:06kisser, tell him I'm looking.
19:21Heard you were looking for someone who kisses pretty well.
19:31Ethan, thank god.
19:34I'm sorry, I shouldn't have vanished like that.
19:40It just, everything got messy.
19:47I needed space to think.
19:52And?
19:53Feel any clearer?
19:56A little, Liam.
19:57I never meant to hurt you, but with this family thing, I've been trying to be rational.
20:03Maybe we should-
20:05Go back to pretending we're just co-workers, or play stepbrothers now.
20:10We're not just some label, friend, partner, brother.
20:15Call it whatever, it still feels like us.
20:21I have no clue where this is going.
20:25But I know one thing, I don't want to not be around you.
20:33I have no clue where this is going, but I know one thing, I don't want to not be around
20:41you.
20:43Hmm, too bad.
20:44Too bad.
20:44You're stuck with me.
20:46Family, right?
20:46We'll figure it out.
20:48One awkward step at a time.
20:59Michael Green.
21:00You're in luck.
21:02Brody's taken a liking to your golden boy.
21:05Brody.
21:06Hunter?
21:09This Wednesday, 8pm, at Brody's office.
21:12Good luck.
21:13Oh my god!
21:15Brody!
21:16What should I wear?
21:30Mr. Hunter, your guest is here.
21:32Send him in.
21:35Welcome, Michael.
21:36Uh, nice outfit.
21:38Evening, Mr. Hunter.
21:40Let's keep this simple.
21:42I've been watching Liam Carter's Rise.
21:44He's electric.
21:44I want him to be in my music video.
21:47That's great to hear.
21:48He's earned it.
21:50No one works harder.
21:51Good.
21:52Now, tell me everything about him.
22:04Michael, what the hell?
22:05I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:07Sorry, I sent the wrong info.
22:09I stayed up too late last night.
22:10Shoot started an hour ago.
22:12What's the damage?
22:14They pulled your solo.
22:15Ryan stepped in.
22:17But they'll still use you in the group layout.
22:21Seriously, him?
22:31Seriously, him?
22:49Nice, Liam, that energy locket in.
22:52Who's that one?
22:54Back row, left.
22:55Liam Carter was supposed to lead today, but he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:02Wrong choice.
23:05Running fashionably late.
23:06Or just late, late.
23:08Look who made it.
23:10Pretty boys are like apps.
23:12Always a new one coming.
23:13You?
23:14You're already glitching.
23:16Then lucky for you, the queue's for pretty boys only.
23:20Might be your last shot.
23:21Oh, please.
23:23At least I didn't sleep my way to a maybe.
23:26No wonder they dropped you.
23:34Liam, great.
23:35You're here.
23:36Come meet someone important.
23:39This is Ms. Grace Blake from Valori's PR team.
23:43Ms. Blake, pleasure to meet you.
23:46Likewise.
23:47You handled today well, considering the circumstances.
23:53Ms. Blake, I didn't realize you were on site about earlier.
23:58I truly didn't mean-
24:00Just make sure you return the watch to wardrobe.
24:03It's borrowed and not cheap.
24:05Right.
24:07Of course.
24:10I'm sorry.
24:15We value grace under pressure.
24:17I saw that in you today.
24:26You didn't tell me you could cook.
24:28Should I be impressed or concerned?
24:32I contain multitudes.
24:47I don't cook.
24:48But I'm an excellent assistant.
24:51Give me something to do?
24:52You're making it very hard to focus right now.
25:04I'm so happy you two became good friends so fast.
25:07I love you both.
25:11I love you too, Mom.
25:12I love you too, Mom.
25:13Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:24You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:27Shut up.
25:39Thanks for the ride.
25:40I should go.
25:42Okay.
25:44You could at least pretend to be bummed, but I'm not.
25:51You keep looking at me like that and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:02You keep looking at me like that and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:06You keep looking at me like that and I'm never getting out of this car.
26:42We're thrilled to have Valerie on board.
26:46We've put together a proposal we really believe in and we're equally excited to have Liam
26:51joining us for this feature.
26:53Thank you Harper, this is exactly the kind of visibility we're looking for.
27:00And this is our creative director.
27:03She will oversee design coordination and campaign tone.
27:11As for the shoot, any preferred photographers were open to suggestions.
27:22If we're talking about the shoot, I'd love to recommend Ethan White.
27:30He's incredible, smart, fast, his work is beautiful, I think he'd be perfect for this.
27:36No, that won't be happening.
27:37Wait, I don't get it.
27:39Ethan's one of the best.
27:42What's the issue?
27:44It's not up for discussion.
27:47Valori has certain standards.
27:48Ethan White doesn't need them.
28:01Let's move on.
28:06What was that?
28:07Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard, did something happen?
28:11No one knows for sure, but the lorries avoided Ethan for years.
28:17Some kind of fallout, no one talks about it.
28:20Trust me, don't tush it.
28:40Trust me, don't tush it.
29:02You lost, or just dramatically loitering?
29:16You gonna tell me what happened in there, or am I supposed to guess?
29:21Nothing major, just a weird day.
29:28Having a brother like you could be worse.
29:50You gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:53You are on someone else's schedule lately, not yours.
29:59All right, I've been working with Brody.
30:02Kind of accidentally at first.
30:05Heh, you don't accidentally work with Brody Hunter.
30:08He asked about you, wanted to know what you were like off camera.
30:11I gave him some thoughts, he pulled me in.
30:15Why didn't you just say that?
30:16Because I didn't want it to feel weird.
30:18I wasn't hiding it.
30:20Also, he's planning something.
30:23For you.
30:24Okay, next time tell me earlier.
30:27We're supposed to be friends, remember?
30:28Always, you'll know everything next time.
30:32Promise.
30:50Can we get a photo?
30:53Only if my very handsome step brother joins too.
30:56You two could model together.
30:58Seriously.
31:02We're just here for the cake.
31:37Can't take it anymore.
31:38Want to duck out for a bit?
31:43Do you dare leave?
31:47With you here, what's there to fear?
31:53Do you dare leave?
32:18I swear, posing for that many group shots is more exhausting than any campaign shoot I've done.
32:25But, I'm glad you were in the frame with me.
32:32I came prepared.
32:46God, we're so bad at this formal thing.
32:51Today was nice though.
32:53Seeing them like that.
32:54Vows and all.
32:56Kind of wild how normal we looked out there.
32:59Like a real family.
33:02Real brothers.
33:09I don't want to just be your brother, Liam.
33:22I don't want to just be your brother, Liam.
33:41Like a real family.
33:42I don't want to be your brother.
33:44I think.
33:51Well, we had fun.
33:52I do believe.
33:52You can definitely try to kill him.
33:55Let's go.
33:55Please.
33:55Give me your brother, Liam.
33:59Okay.
34:00I'm here in the frame.
34:02To be your brother, Liam.
34:31Oh, my God.
34:58I know you're in there. Door, now.
35:01Oh, my God. Mia? Who the hell is Mia? My sister. She must have come back early.
35:14Oops.
35:24Well, well. My dear little brother. You've been hiding this deep? Sneaking around in my room? You've got some nerve.
35:37Yeah, um... Awkward. Hi, Mia.
35:43We didn't know this was your room. We were just...
35:45I don't need the details. I can imagine enough.
35:49Mia, please. Don't tell Mom and Dad. It's their big day. Don't ruin it.
35:54Please. We... We aren't ready for them to know yet.
36:01Relax. I'm not that bored. I wouldn't ruin Mom and Dad's wedding.
36:06But you two, next time you sneak around, remember to lock the door.
36:10And pick an empty room. Stop messing up my bed.
36:17Hurry up and fix yourselves up. The guests are looking for you outside. Don't get caught, my two dear brothers.
36:30Thanks.
36:42Mia?
36:44Mia?
36:45This is my daughter.
36:46Mia. She finally made it.
36:48Mia! I've heard so much about you. It's so lovely to meet you.
36:54All good things, I hope.
37:07Ethan's looking distracted tonight. Guess someone's caught his eye.
37:12Really?
37:12About time. Who's the lucky girl?
37:15Maybe it's not a girl.
37:22Maybe it's not a girl.
37:25Heard you've been sniffing around my business, Uncle Alex.
37:29Looking to cash in?
37:32No thanks. I plan to spend my 60s with a clean record and both kidneys.
37:36Just enjoying the night, Uncle Alex. Nothing more.
38:01Still thinking about what Alex said at the wedding?
38:03Screw it.
38:24Oh, God.
38:31Hey, Emily. Great timing.
38:33Seriously? Making out in your office?
38:40Emily, this, it's not...
38:42Relax. You think I didn't already guess?
38:47Brody's contract is here.
38:49And please, lock the door next time.
38:53If you break the camera, you're both paying for it.
38:57Looks like besides keeping secrets, we have something else worth celebrating.
39:05Lock the door first, then we celebrate.
39:28What's stalking me now?
39:31Just making sure my brother gets home safe.
39:34Didn't know I had such a clingy brother.
39:37You also didn't know your brother had bad intentions.
39:41Huh?
39:45Hmm.
39:46Guess I should be scared, then.
39:48Maybe.
39:49Yeah.
40:16That's why I try.
40:18I don't know.
40:48Damn it! I don't care if it's Velary or Vee Magazine. We're getting that breach fee.
40:54You know, even Ethan got turned down by them. At this point, rejection might actually be a badge of honor.
41:02Forget just modeling. I've been sitting on something bigger.
41:09Film. A real shot. You, on screen.
41:14Film? You serious?
41:18Never been more.
41:40We're excited to confirm full sponsorship for your world tour costumes, digital, after parties, full spread.
41:51Who's the face?
41:53We pivoted to Ryan.
41:56Liam was the original pick, but the team felt...
42:02It wasn't the right look this season.
42:12Not dropped, just redirected. A fresher aesthetic.
42:19Now that's funny.
42:21I just confirmed Liam as the lead for my next music video.
42:24Guess I'm not on trend either.
42:38Maybe you should go ahead and drop me too.
42:41Wouldn't want to ruin your fresher aesthetic.
42:54The contract was clear.
42:57If Velary replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages.
43:01That's non-negotiable.
43:12Ethan, what are you...
43:14Velary dropped you?
43:16Things shift fast.
43:18There's something there, right?
43:20It's because of me.
43:22It's because of me.
43:23What do you mean?
43:28Grace is my ex-fiancée.
43:34We were engaged.
43:36I messed it up.
43:38That was when I started to truly understand myself.
43:41This time, her replacing you isn't about some style adjustment.
43:46It's targeted at me.
43:48I dragged you into this.
43:55First, this isn't your fault.
43:58Grace is just petty.
44:01Second, don't talk about dragging me down.
44:04Those words don't exist between us.
44:06The fact that you're willing to tell me this is enough.
44:12Besides, Brody already stood up for me.
44:15Grace can't turn the tide.
44:17And hey, I'm not some pushover who just takes things lying down.
44:22This isn't over.
44:24I'm sorry.
44:27Thanks.
44:44Jealous?
44:46Relax.
44:47It's just work.
44:49No, I am not.
44:51Oh?
44:54Then why haven't you let go of that camera since we started?
44:58Babe, if you're jealous, just say it.
45:00Don't be stubborn.
45:15Admitting you're jealous now?
45:18I hope you kill it.
45:20I really do.
45:22I know, babe.
45:28Next week.
45:29Yes.
45:29Liam's tight, but I'll move a few things around.
45:32Absolutely.
45:37Nope, he's booked.
45:38Try me in three weeks.
45:40Maybe.
45:51Yeah, this is Liam's agent.
45:53Who's calling?
45:54Liam Carter's breakout music video is being hailed as provocative, intimate, and one of the year's most daring visual statements.
46:02What?
46:05Son of a bitch!
46:13We did it!
46:14You're everywhere.
46:15The video's blowing up.
46:17It's crazy.
46:19Two months ago, I was just another name on a list.
46:26Ah!
46:28Aaaaaah!
46:28Ha ha ha ha ha!
46:30Ah!
46:32Ah!
46:33Ah!
46:33Ah!
46:33Ah!
46:37For Liam Carter, for Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:51Okay, what the hell is this?
46:56You've got to be kidding me.
47:03You planning on keeping it?
47:06Hell no. I don't want to feel like I owe anyone.
47:10Even if it's someone who loves you?
47:12Screw you.
47:14Besides, having you is enough. Who needs a car?
47:18That's so like you.
47:33Cut!
47:45Hey, that last scene? You nailed it. You've got real presence.
47:50Thanks. That's... wow. Appreciate it.
47:54Jason Keller.
47:56I produce films.
47:58Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
48:02I mean, yeah. I've been hoping to.
48:08Let's grab dinner. I'd love to talk projects.
48:12Absolutely. I'm in.
48:25Babe! You will not believe what just happened.
48:29Okay. Okay. What happened?
48:31Dinner with Keffer Pictures. They want me in their next movie.
48:34Me! Lead role!
48:37That's incredible.
48:41I'm so proud of you.
48:43I couldn't have done it without you.
49:03I was just kidding.
49:11No!
49:13I'm like this.
49:15I love you.
49:15I love you.
49:15We'll never go away
49:17I never thought that you would be the one
49:20And with you I found a place to call our own
49:26Oh, it's just amazing when you've been facing me
49:30It's like I know I've been trying to go
49:34I need to tell you I'm sorry
49:40It's just amazing when you're facing me
49:47God, if every day felt like this, I'd never leave
49:51Then don't
49:54What?
49:59Move in with me
50:01What did you say?
50:03I said, for all the days to come
50:06I want to wake up and see you every single day
50:13Yeah, yeah, I'd love that
