06:20Michael?
06:23You smell like coconut oil.
06:31I love coconuts.
06:41Are my pants mad at me?
06:46Oh, stop!
07:00What 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?
07:27Good morning, 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.
08:06Let's get started.
08:18Oh, 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?
08:37Come on.
08:38It's Brody.
08:40You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:42But.
08:51Join 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?
09:17Guess playing Ethan's little lapdog didn't pay off.
09:20Huh.
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.
10:05Is 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.
10:22Wants everyone there.
10:24My father's getting remarried?
10:26Okay.
10:27I'll be there.
10:29Liam.
10:30Think 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.
10:44I 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?
11:12Caught 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 turned out to be that sleazy.
11:21Anyway, let's take a look at the video.

19:20I heard 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, feel any clearer?
19:55A little, Liam, I never meant to hurt you, but with this family thing, I've been trying
20:02to 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, call 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.
20:40I don't want to not be around you.
20:43Hmm, too bad, you're stuck with me.
20:45Family, right?
20:46We'll figure it out.
20:48We'll figure it out, one 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?
21:29Mr. Hunter, your guest is here.
21:32Send him in.
21:34Welcome, 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.
21:45I 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.
21:51Now, tell me everything about him.
22:04Michael!
22:04What the hell?
22:05I thought we were at the downtown studio.
22:07Sorry.
22:07I 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?
22:22Him?
22:31Seriously?
22:32Him?
22:49Nice.
22:50Liam!
22:50That energy lock it in!
22:52him?
22:52Who's that one? Back row, left.
22:55Liam Carter. Was supposed to lead today, but he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:01Hmm. Wrong choice.
23:05Running fashionably late. Or just late-late. Look who made it.
23:10Pretty boys are like abs. Always a new one coming. You? You're already glitching.
23:16Then lucky for you, the queue's for pretty boys only. Might be your last shot.
23:21Oh, please. At least I didn't sleep my way to a maybe. No wonder they dropped you.
23:34Liam, great. You're here. Come meet someone important.
23:39This is Ms. Grace Blake from Valori's PR team.
23:44Ms. Blake. Pleasure to meet you.
23:46Likewise. You handled today well, considering the circumstances.
23:53Ms. Blake, I didn't realize you were on site. About earlier. I truly didn't mean...
24:00Just make sure you return the watch to wardrobe. It's borrowed. And not cheap.
24:05Right. Of course.
24:10I'm sorry.
24:15We value grace under pressure. I saw that in you today.
24:26You didn't tell me you could cook. Should I be impressed? Or concerned?
24:32I contain multitudes.
24:47I don't cook. But I'm an excellent assistant. Give 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. I love you both.
25:11Love you too, Mom.
25:12Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:23You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:27Shut up.
25:38Thanks for the ride. I should... go.
25:44You could at least pretend to be bummed.
25:46But 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.
26:36You 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 joining us for this
26:52feature.
26:53Thank you, Harper.
26:55Thank 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?
27:14We're open to suggestions.
27:17As for the shoot, any preferred photographers?
27:21We're open to suggestions.
27:23If we're talking about the shoot, I'd love to recommend Ethan White.
27:30He's incredible. Smart, fast. His work is beautiful.
27:34I think he'd be perfect for this.
27:36No, that won't be happening.
27:37Wait, I don't get it.
27:40Ethan's one of the best.
27:42What's the issue?
27:44It's not up for discussion.
27:46Valori has certain standards.
27:49Ethan White doesn't meet them.
28:01Let's move on.
28:06What was that?
28:07Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:09Did something happen?
28:11No one knows for sure, but the Lori's avoided Ethan for years.
28:17Some kind of fallout.
28:18No one talks about it.
28:20Trust me.
28:22Don't push it.
28:26What was that?
28:28Why'd Grace shut Ethan down so hard?
28:29Did something happen?
28:32No one knows for sure, but the Lori's avoided Ethan for years.
28:38Some kind of fallout.
28:39No one talks about it.
28:41Trust me.
28:43Don't push it.
29:02You lost?
29:04Or just dramatically loitering?
29:16You gonna tell me what happened in there, or am I supposed to guess?
29:21Nothing major.
29:23Just...
29:23A weird day.
29:28Having a brother like you could be worse.
29:50So...
29:51You gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:53You are on someone else's schedule lately.
29:57Not yours.
29:59All right, I've been working with Brody.
30:02Kind of accidentally at first.
30:05You don't accidentally work with Brody Hunter.
30:08He asked about you, wanted to know what you were like off camera.
30:12I 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 for you.
30:23Okay, next time tell me earlier.
30:26We're supposed to be friends, remember?
30:29Always. You'll know everything next time.
30:32Promise.
30:50Can we get a photo?
30:53Only if my very handsome stepbrother 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?
31:56With you here, what's there to fear?
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.
32:55Kind 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.
33:59I don't want to just be your brother.
34:03We're so sorry.
34:04Oh, my God.
34:58I know you're in there.
35:00Door, now.
35:01Oh, my God.
35:02Mia?
35:03Who the hell is Mia?
35:05My sister.
35:07She must have come back early.
35:15Oops.
35:24Well, well, my dear little brother, you've been hiding this deep?
35:30Sneaking around in my room?
35:33You've got some nerve.
35:36Yeah, um, awkward.
35:39Hi, Mia.
35:42We didn't know this was your room.
35:44We were just...
35:45I don't need the details.
35:47I can imagine enough.
35:49Mia, please.
35:50Don't tell Mom and Dad.
35:52It's their big day.
35:53Don't ruin it.
35:55Please.
35:55We...
35:56We aren't ready for them to know yet.
36:01Relax.
36:01I'm not that bored.
36:03I 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.
36:11Stop messing up my bed.
36:17Hurry up and fix yourselves up.
36:19The guests are looking for you outside.
36:21Don't get caught, my two dear brothers.
36:30Thanks.
36:42Mia!
36:44Mia!
36:45This is my daughter, Mia.
36:46She finally made it.
36:48Mia!
36:49I've heard so much about you.
36:51It's so lovely to meet you.
36:54All good things, I hope.
37:07Ethan's looking distracted tonight.
37:10Guess someone's caught his eye.
37:12Really?
37:12About time.
37:14Who'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?
37:31No thanks.
37:33I plan to spend my 60s with a clean record and both kidneys.
37:36Just enjoying the night, Uncle Alex.
37:38Nothing more.
38:00Still thinking about what Alex said at the wedding?
38:03Screw him.
38:24Oh, God.
38:31Hey, Emily.
38:32Great timing.
38:33Seriously?
38:34Making out in your office?
38:40Emily, this, it's not...
38:42Relax.
38:43You 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?
39:46Guess I should be scared, then.
39:50son M sunglasses.
39:50Okay.
40:08Let's go.
40:08Let's go.
40:47Damn 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?
41:17Never been more.
41:40Film. We'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 it wasn't the right look this season.
42:12Not dropped, just redirected. A fresher aesthetic.
42:19Now that's funny. I 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. If the lorry replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages.
43:01That's non-negotiable.
43:12Ethan? What are you?
43:14Valori dropped you?
43:16Things shift fast.
43:18There's something there, right?
43:20It's because of me.
43:23What do you mean?
43:28Grace is my ex-fiancΓ©e.
43:33We 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.
44:38Thanks.
44:39Meow.
44:42Meow.
44:44Jealous?
44:46Relax.
44:47It's just work.
44:49No, I am not.
44:51Oh?
44:53Then 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.
45:27Next week.
45:29Yes.
45:29Liam's tight, but I'll move a few things around.
45:32Absolutely.
45:37Nope.
45:38He's booked.
45:39Try me in three weeks.
45:40Maybe.
45:42Maybe.
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
45:59year's most daring visual statements.
46:04Son 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.
46:37For Liam Carter, from Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:50Okay.
46:52What the hell is this?
46:56You've got to be kidding me.
47:03You planning on keeping it?
47:06Hell no.
47:07I 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.
47:16Who needs a car?
47:18That's so like you.
47:34Cut!
47:45Hey, that last scene?
47:48You nailed it.
47:49You've got real presents.
47:50Thanks.
47:51That's...
47:52Wow.
47:52Appreciate it.
47:54Jason Keller.
47:56I produce films.
47:58Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
48:02I mean, yeah.
48:03I've been hoping to.
48:08Let's grab dinner.
48:09I'd love to talk projects.
48:12Absolutely.
48:13I'm in.
48:25Babe!
48:26You will not believe what just happened.
48:28Okay.
48:29Okay.
48:30What happened?
48:31Dinner with Keffer Pictures.
48:33They want me in their next movie.
48:34Me!
48:35Lead role!
48:37That's incredible.
48:41I'm so proud of you.
48:43I couldn't have done it without you.
48:45I'm so proud of you.
49:15Matthew...
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've no mind
49:33It's like I've no need to tell you
49:39It's just amazing when you've been 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
50:12Yeah
50:13Yeah, yeah, I'd love that
50:18Oh, man
