Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:32Good. And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm
00:01:42gonna sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm
00:01:47gonna claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:54Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:13Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:16Okay. It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come
00:02:25off, and I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:31Thank you. You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:37I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:00He don't call you pretty, he knows better than that.
00:03:04Take our flight for the sea, Germany's not falling his bank.
00:03:09He's not dying, right? Define he's not my thing.
00:03:14And he's champagne his fame.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star and my soulmate,
00:03:31Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts.
00:03:44But I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart, Dexter Hayes groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:14Hope you enjoy.
00:04:25Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:28I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:30Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:40Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:48I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio!
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad!
00:04:59We've talked about this.
00:05:00In public, I am not your daughter.
00:05:02And I'm not Echo.
00:05:03But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:12But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:14Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:24Oh, my God! These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs!
00:05:46Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:55Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:02God, where's Casey?
00:06:03She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04Play that song!
00:06:05The show is a disaster.
00:06:06The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her?
00:06:08I need her.
00:06:09No, Dexter.
00:06:11I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's Nova?
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:27Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls.
00:06:55Dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter.
00:07:01I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:15Wait.
00:07:16Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:19And we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:26At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:41WONES
00:07:44I'M A MAN I DIED
00:07:46I'M A MAN I DIED
00:07:57WOOOOO
00:07:58WOOOOO
00:08:00Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you, I
00:08:09One thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feeling began, I know I was running out of time
00:08:30The secret feeling began, I know I was running out of time
00:09:00The secret feeling began, I know I was running out of time
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:30He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:36I loved her and she betrayed me
00:09:40Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:52Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:56Yes!
00:09:57Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:58Yes!
00:09:59Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:21It was all a lie
00:10:26Alright, I can play along with his engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:35Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:10I gave you everything!
00:11:14I loved you, do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her, okay? I owe her, alright? I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career
00:11:32She made me who I am today
00:11:34Okay? So, so, so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is
00:11:53You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:02How could you believe her lies?
00:12:04Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:08You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:21He could have had that with me
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:27Isn't it?
00:12:29Not loyalty
00:12:31Not loyalty
00:12:32Just
00:12:33Your music
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hm?
00:12:39This
00:12:41Is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:45For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:47That's my notebook
00:12:49How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:51I'm a musical genius
00:12:53And you're just
00:12:55And you're just
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:57Give it back
00:12:58Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:00See what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't
00:13:04I know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexie, baby
00:13:07I know
00:13:09All about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you
00:13:16She has been for years
00:13:18Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:21Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:23Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:25Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:28Go wait in the car, please
00:13:32Please
00:13:38Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:45So, please just
00:13:47Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay?
00:13:49Right now
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:54Please
00:13:58Please
00:14:02The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway
00:14:17We're over
00:14:19Dex
00:14:22Goodbye
00:14:23Forever
00:14:32The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:14:53Yes
00:14:59Dad
00:15:01I gave Dex everything
00:15:03I made his career but
00:15:05He doesn't want me
00:15:07He never did
00:15:09What happened princess?
00:15:11Scarlet Hart
00:15:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:16I'll come get you
00:15:17I'll come get you
00:15:21Casey
00:15:22Casey, where are you?
00:15:32It looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:42Let me go
00:15:43Don't worry Scarlet
00:15:44We won't hurt you
00:15:45We're your friends too
00:15:47We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:51We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:15:59You're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:16:03I wasn't stealing him
00:16:05We were in love
00:16:07Or I thought we were
00:16:09We'll see about that won't we
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:14Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:22Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room
00:16:28Come alone
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:31And we'll spare them
00:16:33Choose your little assistant
00:16:35And they both die
00:16:37You've reached Casey
00:16:39I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left a concert
00:16:48Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:50Dexter is coming
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancee?
00:17:02Obviously not
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:08You fucked him too?
00:17:10God!
00:17:12Our precious Dexter
00:17:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:19You don't deserve to live
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:24So if Casey dies
00:17:26Then the truth dies with her
00:17:28That's not true
00:17:30First you steal my identity
00:17:32Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:34You're psychotic
00:17:36Oh don't worry Casey
00:17:38If you die today Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:40And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album

00:21:37Okay what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:45You're delusional
00:21:46He doesn't need you
00:21:47He has Echo
00:21:49Yeah
00:21:50Sure he does
00:21:52Fame really has changed you Dexter Hayes
00:21:55Fame changed me?
00:21:59Okay
00:22:01And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:07I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:16No
00:22:18Casey you don't understand I was trying to
00:22:19No
00:22:20Casey you don't understand I was trying to
00:22:21So
00:22:45Oh my god that's Ed Reed the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:51So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:56You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:21You're here now, baby girl.
00:23:28Kasey!
00:23:29Kasey!
00:23:30Kasey!
00:23:31Kasey!
00:23:32Kasey!
00:23:33Kasey!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlet.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:40You should have seen it.
00:23:42I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Kasey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19Hmm?
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:42It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:43We will.
00:24:44Please.
00:24:45We won.
00:24:46Good.
00:24:47You rocket NASA.
00:24:48We won.
00:24:49No.
00:24:50No.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:07No, no!
00:25:09Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys, we have one week, all right?
00:25:21To finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really Echo?
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:49Um, it's just your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:27See it again.
00:26:28Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:26:50We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:13So why can't I do the same?
00:27:15Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:45Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:51Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay, look.
00:28:04I know what you're thinking.
00:28:06But Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:42Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:46Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:50I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:56And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:28:58How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look, here she is now!
00:29:43No fucking way!
00:29:56No fucking way!
00:30:13Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:26Hey, Dex.
00:30:27Long time no see.
00:30:31Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:34I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:43Ignore her.
00:30:57But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:31Scarlet!
00:31:32What a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:37But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:43But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:52So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records 2?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:04Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12You jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:19You can dress up all you want.
00:32:24But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:36Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm, they got that right.
00:32:51Hmm, is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:08Careful.
00:33:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:11You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking hard.
00:33:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed.
00:33:38Hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:42You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:52Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:56Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter, the heiress to the Reed Record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, well, that would make me forever grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:40Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:20What, you missed me already?
00:35:22Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only.
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:36You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:46Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:04Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Aw, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:14Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:33But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:52No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:54It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:04He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:12The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:15My princess.
00:37:17And the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:36Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:01She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Ugh.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad, this is too much.
00:38:21Well, something from your old man.
00:38:23And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:29I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:41This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:51What suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:05Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:09I've known you for years.
00:39:15I thought you'd stay the same.
00:39:18All of those years you're here.
00:39:21I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:23Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:51You're leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I, I, I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:08And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:13I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:15You have to believe me, please.
00:40:17I was just trying to...
00:40:18Look, I, just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just, is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:27Tank my career?
00:40:28Oh, Tank, your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you.
00:40:37Dexter, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:43This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad, threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:03No, no, please.
00:41:04No, no, no.
00:41:04Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:09Oh, can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:18Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:30Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:41:32You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:43not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:49I don't care about that.
00:41:49I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:01She can produce songs.
00:42:01Wait, wait, Casey.
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom, stop.
00:42:14You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:32I've known you for years.
00:42:44I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:48All of those years.
00:42:52I'm still missing you.
00:43:08I'm still missing you.
00:43:08I'm still missing you.
00:43:12I'm still missing you.
00:43:17I'm still missing you.
00:43:20I'm still missing you.
00:43:26I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:50Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:54She's got another truth.
00:43:56I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:07Fine.
00:44:09Let's not talk.
00:44:10What's wrong?
00:44:15Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:19I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:30I'm your former boss now.
00:44:33In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:36I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:43I just want you.
00:44:44And I know that you want me to.
00:44:46Don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:52I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:01But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:04I don't care about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:13I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:15If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:21We can tease each other all day.
00:45:29Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:45:35You're right, I am like an instrument, the way I let you play me.
00:45:49After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:06Listen to me. I've been trying to tell you, I do not want to be with Scalette.
00:46:10Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months, the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million strings?
00:46:25I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey. You don't need him.
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey, Casey!
00:46:42Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:59Perfect timing. Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:08I've made an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:11I don't know what that means, but you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online. I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well, hired to be blown away.
00:47:26Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:35But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:47:41Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka.
00:48:02But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:19My hair.
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:33You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:40Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:41I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I get read records for myself.
00:48:57Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:00The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:02They'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:08How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:12He's going to have no choice.
00:49:14But to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:16You're delusional.
00:49:18Stay away from me.
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:21Hey!
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off me.
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:28Next door, hey.
00:49:29Huh?
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine.
00:49:35What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:39I could sue you for that.
00:49:41I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:43You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:53Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:56You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03What a name.
00:50:05It's Casey Wee.
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:12Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:17Let's go.
00:50:25Let's go.
00:50:25Give me your hand.
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:38Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:39My business is none of your concern.
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you.
00:50:48You could have done it.
00:50:49Yes, okay.
00:50:49I know.
00:50:51Newsflash.
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:50:53So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:50:59So, stop following me.
00:51:07The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:10Stop following you.
00:51:11The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:19You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:28Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:37I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:42You don't fucking listen.
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:49So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again.
00:52:10I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:14You were never the side piece.
00:52:16And you know it.
00:52:28Boss, I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:36Please, stop following me.
00:52:39Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:54Great timing.
00:52:56As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:12I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:14I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:22Now, that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:24Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:37He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Canceled.
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For me?
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:09The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:28It's much less produce a hit track.
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer.
00:54:40I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:54:43I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world?
00:55:04Or Dexter?
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:18But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:21Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:34You're the best, Dad.
00:55:35Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged.
00:55:57Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:03And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:06So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:09She's a musical genius.
00:56:11We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:23Please don't touch that.
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:31Ugh.
00:56:31It's you.
00:56:33Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave now.
00:56:47I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:54Because of your nepo-baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:00Hmm.
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancée and creative collaborator.
00:57:08And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12You're right.
00:57:13In that case.
00:57:15You should have this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:28Oh my God!
00:57:30Oh my God!
00:57:30Oh my God!
00:57:31Oops.
00:57:36Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:38My bad.
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million dollar guitar!
00:57:45Security!
00:57:46Take this woman away!
00:57:48Hold on just one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my God!
00:57:54Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:56You think you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes!
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:01Just kidding.
00:58:04It's all yours now.
00:58:14Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:18We'll find a better option.
00:58:20Like this one.
00:58:27Beyoncé used this on her last album.
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:46I'm gonna just...
00:58:47My apologies, my apologies, my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:01but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:05How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:18Hi, Dexie.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your Beyoncé.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:32Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:44The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:48You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Ms. White.
01:00:00I knew you would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs,
01:00:08and I'll pay it, whatever it is, right here and now.
01:00:12Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store,
01:00:15how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:18I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:29You did this for me?
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:37But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:41Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:44She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay.
01:00:56It's okay.
01:00:56Scarlet could have it for free.
01:00:58As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:03Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:07And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:12You will regret this.
01:01:16Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:22Thanks, Mom.
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:35Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:39Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet.
01:01:41So, your gift means nothing.
01:01:45Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:01:54What's secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No.
01:02:02That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:08But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:22Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:25I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:29Yes, sir.
01:02:31Oh, one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:36Yes, sir.
01:02:41Dexter, you can't do this.
01:02:42I love you.
01:02:43Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart.
01:02:57You're on in five.
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:04Millions of fans are going to be hearing your song.
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:17All right, guys.
01:03:17It's time.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:34You can't start the show without me.
01:03:40I need Megan.
01:03:41Of course she did.
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:46Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:50I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:54when you yourself have none.
01:03:57Mm.
01:03:58I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh.
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wake a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:07Or should I say Echo?
01:04:09Don't choke.
01:04:12Hope you don't choke.
01:04:14The playback's down.
01:04:37The track's gone completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:41I didn't even make that version.
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:04:51Go fix this.
01:04:52Now.
01:04:55This is bad.
01:04:56All right.
01:04:56Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58We're going to burn the broadcast, and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:01What are we going to do?
01:05:02I have an idea.
01:05:06You're Echo, right?
01:05:19Yes.
01:05:19It's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo.
01:05:22The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:28Go ahead.
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:34Come on.
01:05:34You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:47I must have another file I can play.
01:05:49I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:53Watch me work my magic.
01:06:13And that's how it's done.
01:06:16Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:18Okay, Scarlett's proven herself enough.
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:26And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:32Damn, I guess you're going to have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping the...
01:06:45Don't listen to her!
01:06:46She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:54If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage me.
01:06:58Scarlett, Scarlett, why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real, okay?
01:07:01You're...
01:07:01You're Echo, okay?
01:07:03So, just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlett, you are our only hope now.
01:07:22You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Breed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:35But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:37Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some mini-inchments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:07:53You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:05I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:09Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:37Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on, Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:04Get off the stage. You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:11All right, look.
01:09:14It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however how many years?
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:26Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:34that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:40as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song.
01:09:56Now it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:09:57Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:16No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other...
01:10:20Hey!
01:10:21It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:24What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down
01:10:41as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track,
01:10:45what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:50Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily.
01:10:57Hmm.
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO
01:11:03dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties
01:11:07with her track.
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song,
01:11:13just your voice.
01:11:15Right now.
01:11:17Right now.
01:11:17I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:30This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:35Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:47Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:11:57Ha ha ha!
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:14I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:18So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I can't.
01:12:21I don't have much.
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:37I mean, you are not the kind for a show.
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:57Casey.
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:05This is my song.
01:13:07She just ripped it off.
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her.
01:13:13I'm Echo.
01:13:17I didn't even make that version.
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:23Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me.
01:13:36I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56$200 million.
01:13:57$200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlet could finish the album, and Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:36I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:52That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything!
01:14:57Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:58Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlet?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo!
01:15:02I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:07I was wrong about you.
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:14I'm sorry.
01:15:16I'm sorry.
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:23Apologize to her.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlet?
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo!
01:15:35I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:38They are happy!
01:15:42They are happy!
01:15:45Wait, that's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter!
01:15:50She manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiancé!
01:15:52You believe-
01:15:53Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:56You fucking bought it, and you're a damn liar!
01:15:57Scarlet, Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:16:05She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off, and so is the record.
01:16:27Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album?
01:16:39Terminating a contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:43Two years old.
01:16:49Got yourself a deal case.
01:16:50Hit it.
01:17:03If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where would we belong
01:17:15My back is pressed against the wall
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:33It's burning for my chains
01:17:36Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:41Yeah, who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:52But you're not all thinking about
01:18:11You're not all thinking about
01:18:21I'm not afraid to fall
01:18:21But you're not afraid to fall
01:18:23You're not afraid to fall
01:18:25But you're not afraid to fall
01:18:28So you're not afraid to fall
01:18:32Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:57I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:21But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Percy!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey. Hey. Hey.
01:19:58You've been here all night.
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but...
01:20:08As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so, but...
01:20:13Have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:16It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:22Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would've lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean...
01:20:42A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:51Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival.
01:20:58And sign into the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:02Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:12Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:17How do you feel, Princess?
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:39He could've punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:44Oh, I'm hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:52Okay? Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:01How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:05If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:12Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:31Casey, I...
01:22:32I miss you.
01:22:33I miss him too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:48You saved my life and...
01:22:51I will be forever grateful.
01:22:56And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:06No.
01:23:08No.
01:23:09Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:23That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:24I only did it because I had to.
01:23:25They forced you to choose her.
01:23:26I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:27I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:28I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:29And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:30I knew that I'd lose you, and I...
01:23:34I...
01:23:35But I'd rather risk not away from you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I-I...
01:23:46I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:54And I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:24My pop star, which reminds me, Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline
01:24:37the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:39The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:45You deserve it.
01:24:46You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You, you're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:25:00I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:15We do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:37This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00Yes, ma'am.
01:26:02I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22Yes, ma'am.
01:26:44Yes, ma'am.
01:26:46Yes, ma'am.
01:27:10There's stuff in the stockings
01:27:14But I am still walking
01:27:16You're all
01:27:18Dude
01:27:19Was the fool who I hated
01:27:23Now I'm recreated
01:27:25Every time I look at the moonfall
01:27:30I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:33Soon you'll see
01:27:39That it's time for you and me
01:27:44Cause the best so far
01:27:48We just let on
01:27:51Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:00Just let on
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:05I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:16I'm taking and talking
01:28:20But I will be watching
01:28:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:26In the mirror of heaven
01:28:29My heart ain't still beating
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36I imagine we're all together
01:28:51I know
