Bryan was Shannon's boyfriend in Australia. He helped her in a scheme to get money from Boone. He took all the money for himself and left her. Bryan was portrayed by actor Charles Mesure.
Boone showed up knocking at Bryan's door in Sydney, Australia. He was looking for Shannon, who walked in from another room. Shannon questioned Boone as to why he was there and Boone responsed by saying that he had just spent 15 hours on a plane; any kind of greeting would be nice. Shannon told him that now wasn't really the best time and suggested that Boone call her tomorrow. As she was saying this, she ran her fingers through her hair to reveal a bruise on her forehead. Boone consented and left the two alone.
Boone reported Bryan's abuse of Shannon at the police station, although Malcolm, the officer, stated that he couldn't help him.

Malcolm asked why Shannon's name was Rutherford and his Carlisle if they were supposedly siblings. "Rutherford is her father's name," Boone replied, flustered. "Our parents got married when I was 10, she was 8." "So she's your step-sister?" Malcolm asked. "That's right," Boone said, confirming that there was no blood relation between them. Boone continued to say that his mother was Sabrina Carlisle, the owner of the largest wedding business in the United States, and that he was the COO of the wedding clothing subsidiary. Malcolm joked that Boone could buy his wife's wedding dress from him, being that it had only been worn only. Boone changed that subject back to Bryan. "I just want someone to go pay this guy a visit, that's all," he pleaded. Malcolm told him that they were the police, not the dating police - he wasn't going to do anything.
Boone took things into his own hands and walked up to Bryan who was hosing down a picnic table on the dock area of one of the harbors. He told him that they needed to talk and that he wasn't going to waste his time - Bryan needed to break up Shannon, right then and there. "What you don't understand, Bryan, is that you'll be the third guy I've paid to leave. Go to her house when she's not there, get your stuff, and never have contact with her again," he said, promising Bryan that he would give him 25,000 US dollars for his deed if he came through. Bryan, instead, bargained for $50,000, to which Boone agreed.

Afterwards, Boone returned to Shannon's house. Shannon seemed disguisted and said that he was supposed to come later. Boone continued his prying by questioning her if she had any luggage she wanted to take with her. Shannon ignored this and told Boone that he should go home. Boone refused to back off and asked her why she was acting in such a manner. At that moment, Bryan walked in throught the front door. Boone repeated his wanting to leave with Shannon a second time to Bryan, who asked him why he didn't get it. Boone realized from this remark that he had been set up, to which Bryan continued by saying that Shannon was "just getting what she's owed." He told Boone that his mother apparently "screwed Shannon over after her daddy died, kept all her father's money for herself." Boone guessed that this wasn't the first time Shannon had set him up and he ordered Bryan not to touch him. Bryan went ahead anyway and began punching Boone repeatedly. Shannon became frantic, yelling for Bryan to get of her brother. A bloody Boone struggled to his feet and limped out of the house.
Boone was later seen alone in his hotel room. As he was applying a bag of ice to his face where Bryan had slugged him, there was a knock on the door. Boone opened it to see Shannon, who revealed that Bryan had taken the money and left. "So the player got played. It's poetic, don't you think?" Boone said, amused at this news. Shannon confessed that she knew he would bring the money. Boone, in response, commented that Shannon was drunk. "You want to know why?" Shannon asked. "Because you're in love with me. You brought the money because you're in love with me."
