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 a flight,'cause you see.
00:03:09Among this not falling as pain.
00:03:12They don't tolerate defense. He's not my pain.
00:03:13I need champagne as pain.
00:03:20Taking some insight!
00:03:23And now for the star of our show,
00:03:26the world's hottest pop star
00:03:29and 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.
00:07:41One.
00:07:43I'm a man I died.
00:07:51Hi!
00:08:02I'm a man I died.
00:08:03Every time when I look I remember the time I saw you write.
00:08:08One thing to remember by
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feeling began
00:08:17I know I was when I died
00:08:38Your eyes were lonely
00:08:43You're quiet
00:08:48How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:12Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:24He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:37I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:51Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god! Dexie! Yes!
00:10:05Tonight 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.
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:34Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:45You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06What?
00:11:07Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything!
00:11:13I loved you! Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her, okay? I owe her, alright? I don't-
00:11:21You owe her?
00:11:23Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan. What has she ever done for you?
00:11:29Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay? So-so-so that's why.
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:39Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:42You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is. You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me. And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:01How could you believe her lies?
00:12:04Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:07You know, I don't even know who you are anymore. Is this what you wanted all along? To be a music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about, isn't it? Not loyalty. Just your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music? Hmm?
00:12:40This is my notebook. Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:48That's my notebook? How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius. And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Give it back!
00:12:59Ow! Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:01See, what has gotten into you? I don't... I know who you are anymore.
00:13:06Dexter, baby. I know all about girls like her. They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you. She has been for years.
00:13:18Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this! Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:23Then tell me why I shouldn't. Okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:37Casey.
00:13:38Look, I know that you've been hiding things. So, please just... just tell me the truth. Okay, right now. Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:53Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore. You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:19Dex.
00:14:20Goodbye.
00:14:22Forever.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The 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.
00:14:58Dad.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything.
00:15:03I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.
00:15:08What happened, Princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:15I'll come get you.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:21Casey.
00:15:22Casey, where are you?
00:15:23It 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?
00:15:41Let me go.
00:15:42Don'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.
00:16:01I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:04We were in love.
00:16:06Or...
00:16:07I thought we were.
00:16:09We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight...
00:16:14...is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:24Dressing room.
00:16:27Come alone.
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Hart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:36You've reached Casey.
00:16:38I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:44Casey?
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 fiance?
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, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:28That's not true!
00:17:30First you steal my identity, now 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.
00:17:43You're crazier than they are.
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:51Casey!
00:17:52Dexter!
00:17:54Dex!
00:17:58Dex!
00:18:00Dex!
00:18:01Dex! Dex! Dex!
00:18:03Dexter! Dexter help me!
00:18:05They hit me, and then they tied me up, and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:09Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We can't do that, Dexter!
00:18:17We're your biggest fans!
00:18:19We're doing this for you!
00:18:21Okay, well, if you love me, alright?
00:18:24You'll put the gun down, and then let these two go, please.
00:18:26No, that's not how this works!
00:18:29Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:33We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me,
00:18:42did they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live.
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:49Or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:18:59I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:01I have to break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:14And you loved him?
00:19:16You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:24Choose now or they both die.
00:19:26Dexter, Dexter, please, think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:31You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me!
00:19:35That's enough, we're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay, I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:44Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:50Dexter, I'm gonna faint!
00:19:54He was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:02You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:05Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:09And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:35Let's go!
00:20:45Let's go!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:48Let's go!
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:54It's gonna be okay.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:58You left me to die!
00:20:59And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:03I was right to walk away.
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:09Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:10They were gonna make me...
00:21:12I'm done living in your shadow decks.
00:21:17Goodbye.
00:21:22Okay, Casey, Casey.
00:21:23Hey.
00:21:24Casey.
00:21:32Casey.
00:21:33Casey, stop.
00:21:34Please, stop.
00:21:35Please, please.
00:21:36We're gonna go...
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.
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:02And 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!
00:22:13You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:17No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:18I was trying to...
00:22:19Oh my god, that's... that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:22Oh my god, that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:23Oh my god, that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:27Oh my god, that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:30Oh my god, that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:34Oh my god, that's... that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:46So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:50I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:20Jason Hayes!
00:23:27Jason!
00:23:31Casey!
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlet.
00:23:39Mrs Hayes.
00:23:40You should have seen it. I 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.
00:23:53Then 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 Casey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, Princess. Hmm?
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,
00:24:32announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:02I'm sorry.
00:25:03No noooo!
00:25:09OK, guys... cut the track...
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:16Look guys, we have one week,
00:25:19alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:22The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix, in hours.
00:25:26and hours.
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat
00:25:29or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really
00:25:37Echo?
00:25:41Are you really
00:25:43Echo?
00:25:45Dexy,
00:25:46of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant, he's been messing
00:25:54with my tracks.
00:25:55Because he's obviously trying to sabotage
00:25:57our 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? Echo would never put
00:26:07her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes,
00:26:12please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter. And I'm
00:26:15sorry, but my last assistant
00:26:17would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:25Good luck staying at the top of the charts
00:26:45once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy
00:26:49with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number
00:27:05that has been disconnected
00:27:06or is no longer in service.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:10She broke my heart
00:27:11and she moved on.
00:27:13So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:15Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation
00:27:35to the biggest industry event
00:27:37of the year.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music
00:27:39Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:40Yeah.
00:27:41Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:50Dexter.
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
00:27:58from 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
00:28:11of scorned assistants
00:28:12lining up to get on their knees
00:28:14and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go
00:28:17and 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,
00:28:30forget about that stupid
00:28:31little assistant of yours
00:28:33and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special
00:28:36about her anyway?
00:28:37Her coarse, tangled hair
00:28:41or her dull, crusty skin
00:28:45or maybe those hideous,
00:28:49god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back
00:28:57everything that's mine.
00:28:58How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:09as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side,
00:29:14our album is sure to be
00:29:15the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet
00:29:19this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed is introducing
00:29:24the whole world to his daughter,
00:29:26the 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
00:29:36a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is,
00:29:38we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket
00:29:40to a number one album.
00:29:42Look!
00:29:42Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:10Casey?
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,
00:30:37why does my heart still ache?
00:30:55Ignore her.
00:30:57But instead,
00:30:57focus on kissing up to Ed Reed
00:30:59so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do
00:31:05is get on their good side
00:31:06and our album will go
00:31:07straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed
00:31:12and this new CEO
00:31:13if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:15Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:22I should have known you'd sneak in here
00:31:36hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:37but this party is for the elite
00:31:39of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner
00:31:42with the other hookers.
00:31:43But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:53So you can seduce the new CEO
00:31:54of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective
00:31:58than Ed Reed
00:31:59so don't expect him
00:32:00to look at you twice.
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:04Leave
00:32:04or I will have security
00:32:05escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love
00:32:07to see you try.
00:32:12Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him
00:32:14and those feelings
00:32:15don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change
00:32:18his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up
00:32:22all you want,
00:32:24but you will always
00:32:26just be Dexter's
00:32:28lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was
00:32:31someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate
00:32:33assistant
00:32:34playing dress up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged
00:32:37by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never
00:32:39emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think
00:32:41she got the jewels though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring
00:32:43herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those
00:32:46desperate social climbers
00:32:47in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something,
00:32:55Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me
00:32:57who's putting on an actor?
00:33:00Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:08Careful.
00:33:09The new CEO
00:33:10might be watching.
00:33:12Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're hot shit
00:33:14just because you're
00:33:14the real Echo.
00:33:16You may have the talent,
00:33:17but you have no money
00:33:18and no connections
00:33:19besides the ones you make
00:33:20in pay-by-the-hour
00:33:21hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me,
00:33:23I'm a beloved
00:33:24up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:26And if you so much
00:33:27as threaten me
00:33:28or my career
00:33:29ever again,
00:33:30I will get you
00:33:30canceled so fucking hard
00:33:32your grandchildren
00:33:33won't be able
00:33:33to show their faces
00:33:34in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed.
00:33:38Hi.
00:33:38Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much
00:33:40for the invite.
00:33:42You've always
00:33:42been a true hero of mine.
00:33:45Well,
00:33:45I'd really love
00:33:46to put that incident
00:33:48with my assistant
00:33:50behind us.
00:33:52Oh, Dexter Hayes,
00:33:53of course I can.
00:33:54Gotcha.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait
00:33:56to see the look
00:33:57on his face
00:33:58when he realizes
00:33:59the assistant
00:34:00he rejected
00:34:01is my daughter
00:34:02and the heiress
00:34:03to the Reed Record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir,
00:34:06you may or may not
00:34:08have heard about
00:34:08the record
00:34:09that Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are working on.
00:34:12I really think
00:34:12that between my lyrics
00:34:14and, well,
00:34:14her producing
00:34:15and your musical genius
00:34:17over the last
00:34:18many decades,
00:34:19I think we could
00:34:19really make
00:34:20something special.
00:34:21Well, you make
00:34:22a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know,
00:34:25if it's not too much,
00:34:26it actually might be
00:34:27helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you
00:34:29could put in a good word
00:34:29with the new CEO,
00:34:32well, that would make
00:34:33me forever grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put
00:34:36in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO
00:34:39is already here.
00:34:42Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:34:58I've been trying
00:35:00to call you
00:35:01the last few days
00:35:02and, well,
00:35:03I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:04that instead
00:35:05you just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself
00:35:08for wanting
00:35:09to pick up the phone,
00:35:10for wanting
00:35:11to hear his voice again,
00:35:12but after what
00:35:13he did to me,
00:35:14I couldn't give him
00:35:15the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, you've been calling
00:35:18me for the last few days.
00:35:20What, you missed me already?
00:35:22Did Ed Reed bring Casey
00:35:23as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left
00:35:32my invite at home,
00:35:33but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:36You know, Scarlet,
00:35:36on the other hand, though,
00:35:37has been throwing around
00:35:38nothing but
00:35:39vile slander
00:35:41and empty accusations
00:35:42all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go,
00:35:44it should be her.
00:35:45Unless you want me
00:35:47to expose your lies
00:35:48to Dexter
00:35:49right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones
00:35:52who can remove me
00:35:53are Mr. Reed himself
00:35:54or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:36:01are about to announce
00:36:03our new album.
00:36:03Can we have
00:36:05this conversation later?
00:36:06Oh, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:15Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:21it's time to announce
00:36:23tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records
00:36:29is the number one largest
00:36:31music label
00:36:32in the world.
00:36:33But tonight,
00:36:35I want to introduce you
00:36:36to someone
00:36:37who's more precious
00:36:38to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up
00:36:40listening to me play piano,
00:36:42who has written
00:36:42hundreds of songs
00:36:43and never put her name
00:36:45on one of them
00:36:46because she never
00:36:47wanted to gain fame
00:36:49through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets,
00:36:53Dexter Hayes.
00:36:54It's time you finally
00:36:55learned who you
00:36:56really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking
00:36:59right at us.
00:37:00He's going to call us
00:37:01on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:04He's going to announce
00:37:04that he's signed us
00:37:05to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce
00:37:07the heir to my
00:37:09billion-dollar music empire
00:37:11and the new CEO
00:37:13of Reed Records.
00:37:15My princess
00:37:16and the light of my life,
00:37:19my daughter,
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:26What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
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
00:38:01of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:04Scarlet Heart is delusional,
00:38:05insulting the new CEO
00:38:07of Reed Records
00:38:08to her face.
00:38:09She just committed
00:38:10career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed,
00:38:12your gift
00:38:13for the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Oh,
00:38:16that's millions
00:38:17of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad,
00:38:20this is too much.
00:38:21There's something
00:38:22from your old man
00:38:22and now Dexter
00:38:23will see that you're worth
00:38:24more than your weight in gold.
00:38:25This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:32I knew Casey
00:38:32was keeping secrets
00:38:33from me,
00:38:34but I didn't know
00:38:35she was hiding
00:38:36who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never
00:38:38her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:41This whole time
00:38:41she was with me
00:38:42for love,
00:38:43not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me
00:38:45the truth
00:38:46and instead of trusting her,
00:38:47I left her
00:38:48for another woman.

01:09:02Come on, Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:05Get 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 many years,
01:09:26yeah.
01:09:29Because 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. It's over.
01:10:11Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:15No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other, everybody, hey!
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 as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't, will 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 dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:16Right 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.
01:11:47Now 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 sounds...
01:12:35It's...
01:12:35Familiar.
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!
01:12:46Casey.
01:12:58You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song!
01:13:07She just ripped it off!
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her!
01:13:12I'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.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:28She'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.
01:13:52I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56Two hundred million.
01:13:57Two hundred million for 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?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlet could finish the album.
01:14:26And Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:30The clock is ticking.
01:14:38I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:52That bitch!
01:14:52Why 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.
01:15:03I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:11I was wrong about you.
01:15:13You 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!
01:15:39They are happy!
01:15:42They are happy!
01:15:43Wait, that's not what I really meant.
01:15:48Dexter, she manipulated me.
01:15:51You're still my fiancé.
01:15:52You believe me?
01:15:53Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:55You fucking bought and you're a damn liar.
01:15:59Casey 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.
01:16:12And so is the record.
01:16:19Oh!
01:16:20Oh, my God!
01:16:36Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:37The album is terminating a contract and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:43Tour is over.
01:16:49Got yourself the old case.
01:16:50Here.
01:17:02If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:14My 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?
01:17:41Who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:52But you're not all thinking about
01:18:11I'm not sassy
01:18:20I'm not sassy
01:18:25I'm not sassy
01:18:30Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:56I 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!
01:19:12You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was going to be mine, I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:26But you had to get in my way.
01:19:35That won't happen again.
01:19:36Percy!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38No!
01:19:39No!
01:19:40Dex!
01:19:41Dex!
01:19:42Dex!
01:19:43No!
01:19:44No!
01:19:45No!
01:19:46Dex!
01:19:47Dex!
01:19:48Dex!
01:19:49Dex!
01:19:50Dex!
01:19:51Stay with me!
01:19:52Oh my god!
01:19:53Dex!
01:19:54Dex!
01:19:55Hey!
01:19:56Hey!
01:19:57Hey!
01:19:58Hey!
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life
01:20:16to save you?
01:20:17I don't know.
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 have 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.
01:20:41A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:47Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:50Hmm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to
01:20:58the label again.
01:20:59You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:02Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:10Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:17It was a close call.
01:21:35One centimeter to the right, he could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:44Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:46But for now, all he needs is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:51Okay?
01:21:52Okay.
01:21:57What 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.
01:22:10Never.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:12Hi.
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:28I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:41I miss him too.
01:22:43But everything we've put each other through.
01:22:46Can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:58And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:01And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:03We can end on a high note.
01:23:04I don't know how you know.
01:23:05No.
01:23:06Listen.
01:23:07No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:10To 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.
01:23:34That 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 was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:47I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:50I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:52And I knew that I'd break your heart,
01:23:54and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:58But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:04When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:10I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:13Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:27Which...
01:24:29Reminds me...
01:24:30Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Fest.
01:24:39The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You deserve it.
01:24:45You'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...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:56I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:59I 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.
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:16We do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:25Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:45I love you too.
01:25:47I love you too.
01:25:49I love you too.
01:25:51I love you too.
01:25:52I love you.
01:25:53I love you too.
01:25:55This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:58Then we'd better give them one hell of a show.
01:26:00Yes, ma'am.
01:26:01Yes, ma'am.
01:26:02I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly
01:26:17the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
