06:42Are... are my pants mad at me?
06:46Oh, oh, oh, 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.
07:25So, did you come back to save me?
07:38I didn't do anything.
07:38Morning, Mr. Ethan White.
07:42Liam?
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.
08:06Let's... get started.
08:17Oh, Ethan.
08:26That'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?
08:38Come on! It's Brody! You're about to shoot a global icon.
08:42But...
08:52Join us for dinner? My treat.
08:55Thanks, but I've got plans.
09:08Huh.
09:10Well, well, well. Weren't this cover supposed to be you?
09:14What happened? Did 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? Please.
09:41He'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.
10:06Is it true Brody wants you as his sugar baby?
10:08Those are just rumors.
10:10Investors 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.
10:32You 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.
10:44Ryan, 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?
11:12Caught 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.
11:41I don't care.
11:43I don't care.
11:48I don't care.
11:50I don't care.
11:51I don't care.
11:52I don't care.
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.
12:30Hmm.
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...
13:09Really 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.
13:44I'm sorry.
13:48I shouldn't.
13:49Bye.
14:07Jesus, Mia.
14:09Time zones?
14:10Ever heard of them?
14:11Boring.
14:12So, what's the verdict?
14:14Dad's fiance.
14:15Monster or mildly insufferable?
14:17She's actually great. She paints. She listens. Honestly, probably too good for him.
14:25Speaking of your love life, Spill, any mysterious figures I should vet?
14:30It's complicated.
14:32Ooh, that's a yes.
14:35Tell me hot, rich, emotionally unavailable.
14:38Royal blood?
14:41Bye, Mia.
14:57Bye, Mia.
15:21Hey, uh...
15:23Liam?
15:24Ethan? What are you doing here?
15:28I live here.
15:29Wait, 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. That makes things easier.
15:55Absolutely. 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. Always off chasing something new.
16:08Yeah, more or less.
16:10Though I heard there was a time you almost settled down.
16:17Oh, 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.
16:40Mom, 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. Some edits to finish.
17:22I'm not here to make things harder.
17:25I just want to talk.
17:27Call me.
17:37Hey.
17:38I didn't mean to dig.
17:39I just...
17:40care.
17:42A lot.
17:57Just wrap the shoot.
17:59Missed when you were behind the lens.
18:01How's your day looking?
18:02Good night.
18:07...
18:25My day again,
18:26I see you soon.
18:26In the end, it's been working.
18:58If anyone's seen my stepbrother photographer,
19:01dumb smile, unreal eyes, suspiciously good kisser, 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...
19:44Everything...
19:45got messy.
19:47I needed space to think.
19:52And?
19:53Feel 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.
20:04Maybe we should...
20:05Go back to pretending we're just co-workers?
20:07Or play stepbrothers now?
20:10We're not just some label.
20:12Friend.
20:13Partner.
20:14Brother.
20:16Call her whatever.
20:17It still feels like us.
20:21I have no clue where this is going.
20:25But I know one thing.
20:28I don't want to not be around you.
20:33I have no clue where this is going.
20:37But I know one thing.
20:40I don't want to not be around you.
20:43Hmm.
20:43Too bad.
20:44You're stuck with me.
20:45Family, 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.
21:108pm.
21:11At Brody's office.
21:12Good luck.
21:13Oh my god!
21:15Brody!
21:16What should I wear?
21:29Mr. Hunter?
21:31Your guest is here.
21:32Send him in.
21:35Welcome, Michael.
21:35Uh, 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.
21:52Now, 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.
22:16Ryan stepped in.
22:17But they'll still use you in the group layout.
22:21Seriously?
22:22Him?
22:31Seriously?
22:33Him?
22:49Nice.
22:50Liam, that energy lock it in.
22:53Who's that one?
22:54Back row, left.
22:55Liam Carter was supposed to lead today.
22:57But he's late, so we have to choose Ryan.
23:01Hmm.
23:02Wrong choice.
23:05Running fashionably late.
23:07Or just late late.
23:08Haha, look who made it.
23:10Pretty boys are like abs.
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.
23:44Ms. 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.
23:56About earlier.
23:58I truly didn't mean.
24:00Just make sure you return the watch to wardrobe.
24:03It's borrowed.
24:04And 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?
24:30Or 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.
24:59Mmm.
25:00Smells amazing.
25:01Are you guys cooking?
25:04I'm so happy you two became good friends so fast.
25:07I love you both.
25:11Love you too, Mom.
25:12Just don't burn down my kitchen.
25:24You are terrible at playing it cool.
25:27Shut up.
25:38Thanks for the ride.
25:40I should...
25:41Go.
25:42Okay.
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.
26:29Seriously?
26:31Michael?
26:32Now?
26:32Really?
26:33Really?
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.
26:55This is exactly the kind of visibility we're looking for.
27:00And this is our creative director.
27:02She will oversee design coordination and campaign tone.
27:11As for the shoot, any preferred photographers, we're open to suggestions.
27:18As for the shoot, any preferred photographers, we'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.
27:35I 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 need 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.
28:44Some kind of fallout.
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.
29:51So, you gonna tell me what's been going on with you?
29:53You are on someone else's schedule lately.
29:57Not yours.
29:59Alright, 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.
30:09Wanted to know what you were like off camera.
30:12I gave him some thoughts.
30:13He 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.
30:30You'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.
31:32Peaceful of the cake.
31:37Can't take it anymore, wanna duck out for a bit?
31:43Do you dare leave?
31:47With you here, what's there to fear?
31:53Do you dare leave?
32:17I swear, posing for that many group shots is more exhausting
32:23than any campaign shoot I've done, but I'm glad you were in the frame with me.
32:33I came prepared.
32:46God, we're so bad at this formal thing.
32:51Today was nice though, seeing them like that, vows and all.
32:56Kinda wild how normal we looked out there.
32:59Like a real family.
33:02Real brothers.
33:09I don't wanna just be your brother, Liam.
33:22Had enough of looking?
33:35I don't wanna just be your brother.
33:39I don't wanna just be your brother.
33:44I don't wanna just be your brother.
33:52I don't wanna just be your brother.
33:56I don't wanna just be your brother.
34:05I don't wanna just be your brother.
34:14so that was really bad at home.
34:38I don't wanna just be your brother.

40:03here we are
40:03we are
40:04we are
40:17we are
40:17we are
40:18we will be
40:27I 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.
41:41We're excited to confirm full sponsorship for your World Tour costumes, digital, after parties.
41:48Full spread.
41:51Who's the face?
41:53We pivoted to Ryan.
41:56Liam was the original pick, but the team felt...
42:01it 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. Guess I'm not on trend
42:25either.
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 Velary replaced Liam last minute, they owe damages. That's non-negotiable.
43:12Ethan, what are you...
43:14What are you...
43:14Velary dropped you?
43:16Things shift fast.
43:18There's something there, right?
43:20It's because of me.
43:24What do you mean?
43:28Grace is my ex-fiancée.
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.
44:30No, 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.
45:24Babe.
45:25I know, babe.
45:28Next 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.
45:51Yeah, 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.
46:04Son of a bitch!
46:06Son 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, for Mr. Brody Hunter.
46:51I was just like, I don't know if I'm going to be kidding me, but I don't know if I'm
46:52going to be kidding me.
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.
47:17Who needs a car?
47:18That's so like you.
47:20I don't want to feel like I'm going to be kidding me.
47:33Cut!
47:45Hey, that last scene?
47:48You nailed it.
47:49You've got real presence.
47:51Thanks.
47:51That's...
47:52Wow.
47:52Appreciate it.
47:54Jason Keller.
47:57I produce films.
47:58Have you considered doing more than just modeling?
48:01I mean, yeah, I've been hoping to.
48:08Let's grab dinner.
48:09I'd love to talk projects.
48:12Absolutely.
48:13I'm in.
48:25Babe, you will not believe what just happened.
48:29Okay, okay.
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.
48:42I couldn't have done it without you.
48:55Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:04Remember times when I wasn't feeling, though you knew that I was leaving to go back to see,
49:11All my life's long, struggles and pain, but I thought, we'll never go away.
49:17I never thought that you would be the one.
49:21And with you, I found a place to call our own.
49:26Oh, it's just amazing when you keep facing me.
49:30It's like I know I've been trying to go.
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, I want to wake up and see you every single day.
50:13Yeah, yeah, I'd love that.
50:18No, no, no, no.
