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. Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:50Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us. I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me,
00:01:09kids. How you make me feel. You are my favorite song. I lose control. I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:31Good. And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight. I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you. I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody. I'm going to claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:53Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:13Nothing. Nothing. It's just work stuff. Okay. It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off, and I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey. Thank you.
00:02:33You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:52You are going to pay a chance.
00:03:19And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us. Dexter 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. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:15Let's go, Dexter! Let's go!
00:04:20Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:28I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:41Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:49I'll be right back.
00:04:54There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:59Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:01In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:08I'm telling him tonight, but for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When 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?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:49Echo?
00:05:49Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:54Echo?
00:05:55Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play Dex's song.
00:06:00Play Dex's song.
00:06:01Oh God, where's Casey?
00:06:02She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04Play Dex's song.
00:06:04The 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, I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:13This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:27Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:35I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:39Dexter, 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, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:09Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:19Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:26At least I thought so.
00:07:27Get ready, Dex.
00:07:37The next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:42Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you, I'm one thing to remember you, I'm one thing to remember you by.
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:21I've been in my eyes.
00:08:23And I'm looking at you, I'm your porter and I'm one thing to remember you.
00:08:39So you never just know I was saying, where this one went out of time.
00:08:44How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:14Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:29He 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!
00:10:03Yes!
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.
00:10:26Alright, I can play along with his engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:34You broke my heart.
00:10:42Hey, 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?
00:11:06Oh, Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:09I gave you everything!
00:11:12I loved you! Do you love her?
00:11:15I owe her.
00:11:18Okay, I owe her, alright?
00:11:21I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:23Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
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 that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:39Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52I know she is.
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'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.
00:12:09You 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?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty.
00:12:33Just...
00:12:34Your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hm?
00:12:41This...
00:12:42Is my notebook.
00:12:44Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first little platinum album.
00:12:48That's my notebook.
00:12:49How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius.
00:12:54And you're just...
00:12:55Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:57Get back!
00:12:58Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:01See, what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't...
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexy, baby.
00:13:08I know all 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.
00:13:17She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this!
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:23Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car.
00:13:32Please.
00:13:37But Casey...
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:46So 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.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:19Dex.
00:14:22Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:24The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:37Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer, Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:14:52And she said yes.
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.
00:15:08What happened princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:18You have to go.
00:15:21Pacey.
00:15:24Pacey...
00:15:26Pacey....
00:15:28Pacey...
00:15:29Pacey...
00:15:30Pacey...
00:15:32Well...
00:15:33Dexter'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.
00:15:43Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:44We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your friends, too.
00:15:48We both shook Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:51We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:59We're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:05We were in love.
00:16:06Or I thought we were.
00:16:09We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:21Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room.
00:16:27Come alone.
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey.
00:16:38I 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 the concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:49Dexter 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 fiancée?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:08You've fucked him too?
00:17:10God.
00:17:11Our 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.
00:17:35Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:37If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:41single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey.
00:17:52Dexter.
00:17:59Dexter.
00:18:00Casey.
00:18:01Dexter.
00:18:01Dexter.
00:18:03Dexter.
00:18:03Dexter, help me.
00:18:05They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:10Okay, 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, all right, you'll put the gun down and you'll let these two
00:18:26go, please.
00:18:27No, that's not how this works.
00:18:29Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:33We're engaged now.
00:18:34You 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, do they mean
00:18:43anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live.
00:18:46Will it be your future wife or 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 have to break her heart.
00:19:02Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead.
00:19:23Make 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.
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, all right?
00:19:47I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:54I was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute.
00:20:02You told me that I...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:09And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:24Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:35Drop the gun!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48Oh, God.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50All right.
00:20:51It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:58You left me to die!
00:21:00And 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?
00:21:11They were gonna make me...
00:21:12I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:17Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey.
00:21:23Casey.
00:21:24Hey.
00:21:32Casey.
00:21:33Casey, stop.
00:21:34Please, stop.
00:21:35Please, please.
00:21:35We'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.
00:21:48He has Echo.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:52Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:21:59Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I 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!
00:22:18No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:19I was trying to...
00:22:20Oh my god, that's...
00:22:46That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:48It's...
00:22:49So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:12I'm trying to have everything you wanted!
00:23:17I was trying to...
00:23:20Jason Hayes!
00:23:28Jason!
00:23:31Jason!
00:23:32Jason!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlet.
00:23:39Mrs Hayes, you should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:48I 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. All 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.
00:24:12No!
00:24:18Forget 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, announcing 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.
00:24:43My back is pressed.
00:24:53My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:03My back is pressed.
00:25:05I got a good idea.
00:25:06My back is pressed.
00:25:07My back is pressed.
00:25:09My back is pressed.
00:25:11Cut the track
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key
00:25:17Look guys we have one
00:25:21To finish this song before the release the 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?
00:25:33Scarlet, I just gotta ask are you really echo?
00:25:41are you
00:25:43Really echo?
00:25:45Dexy
00:25:47Of course I am
00:25:50It's just your new assistant. He's been messing. He's messing with my tracks
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album. I mean look
00:26:01Last saved by max. Yeah, that's because you don't know okay. You know what echo would never put her name on garbage like this
00:26:11Mr.. Hey, please listen
00:26:13It's dead, and I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that
00:26:19You're fired
00:26:27See it again
00:26:41Good 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 you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
00:27:09All right, 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 an invitation to the biggest industry event of the year the Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:39Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:47Look I'm not interested. Okay, we have a song to finish
00:27:50Dexter
00:27:52You said it yourself. They can lay down a track in hours. We have to go. This is a personal invitation from mr. Ed Reed himself
00:27:59Okay, look I know what you're thinking
00:28:05But Casey probably meant nothing to him. He's a billionaire record executive
00:28:09I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks
00:28:14You have to go and you have to impress him, okay? He 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
00:28:28So 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 or her dull crusty skin or maybe those hideous god-awful clothes
00:28:51I'm echo
00:28:54I'm the Reed heiress
00:28:56And I'm taking back everything that's mine
00:29:01Scarlet, open the door
00:29:03She'll be small
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:12We're honored and with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade
00:29:16Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:26The heiress to the Reed fortune
00:29:28Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know Ed, who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:35I'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!
00:29:46No fucking way!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:16No fucking way!
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:26Hey Dex!
00:30:28Long 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...
00:30:39Why does my heart still ache?
00:30:40Ignore her!
00:30:41But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO
00:30:48You should listen to her Dexter
00:30:49All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one
00:30:50She's right!
00:30:51I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit
00:30:54Hmm...
00:30:55Hmm...
00:30:56Hmm...
00:30:57Hmm...
00:30:59Hmm...
00:31:04Oh!
00:31:14If I want her album to be a hit
00:31:15Hm...
00:31:17Umm...
00:31:19Scarlett, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is
00:31:38for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:49Why?
00:31:51So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records, too?
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.
00:32:03Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:09Jealous?
00:32:12I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:16How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:19You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant
00:32:29girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:35Imagine 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.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:50Hmm.
00:32:51Is that so?
00:32:53Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me?
00:32:57Who's putting on an act, or?
00:32:59Hmm.
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:06Careful.
00:33:08The 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
00:33:20in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me?
00:33:23I'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 cancelled so
00:33:31fucking hard your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:34Mr. Reed, hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:41You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:44Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind
00:33:50us.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:53Got you.
00:33:54Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:00as my daughter, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that
00:34:09Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:17over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:23And, 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, uh, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:33make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:40Casey.
00:34:41Casey.
00:34:42Casey.
00:34:43Casey.
00:34:44Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised
00:34:47that instead you just showed up here.
00:34:49I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:34:56But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:34:58Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:34:59Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:00What, you missed me already?
00:35:01Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:03This event is invite only.
00:35:04Yeah.
00:35:05Dang.
00:35:06I guess I left my invite at home, but.
00:35:09I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:10You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing.
00:35:11I'm gonna try 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.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:19What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:30Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing.
00:35:38But vile slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:45Unless 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.
00:35:55You have no power here.
00:35:57Okay, guys.
00:35:58Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:03Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:05Aw, Dex.
00:36:07You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what, what?

00:36:24Reed 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 because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us.

00:59:33do you really want to have a conversation
00:59:34right here and now
00:59:35about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlet's talent as a producer
00:59:40is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:44the least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:47you know what, actually
00:59:50i'm sorry, you're right
00:59:52i should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
00:59:58please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt
01:00:01i knew you would support me
01:00:03Mr. 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
01:00:11Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store
01:00:15how much would you like to charge the guitar for?

01:00:34well, 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!
01:00:43are you insane?
01:00:45she's not even a real musician
01:00:48and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51you're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55oh, it's okay, Scarlett could have it for free

01:03:42her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:47you know, i'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:49i thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have none
01:03:57mmm

01:04:01oh
01:04:02guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight

01:05:09i have an idea
01:05:10your echo
01:05:11right?
01:05:12Yes, it's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:29Go 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.
01:05:45This 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.
01:05:54Watch me work my magic.
01:06:12And that's how it's done.
01:06:16Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:19Scarlet'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.
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:06:45Don't listen to her.
01:06:47She 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 it.
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet.
01:06:59Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real.
01:07:01Okay, you're Echo.
01:07:02Okay, so just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet, 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 Reed 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 why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:39and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:07:55You really think your fiancée is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:59I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:01I mean, Casey 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.
01:08:11Boop.
01:08:11Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It 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.
01:09:05Get off the stage! You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11All right, look.
01:09:14It's done.
01:09:14You'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 that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:09:43Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes. Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving the song. Now it's over. It's over.
01:09:58Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:17No, 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.
01:10:28What 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?
01:10:51Will you step down as Reed Records' CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily.
01:10:57Hmm.
01:10:58Everyone, 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 know.
01:11:17I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:31This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:34Lights are low, but I still glow.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:44Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:11:57Wait, 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 junior?
01:12:34That sounds...
01:12:35It's...
01:12:36Familiar.
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!
01:12:58Casey.
01:13:01You're Echo.
01:13:01Does 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, Scarlett?
01:13:11Don't listen to her.
01:13:14I'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,
01:13:47but 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 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 Scarlett Hart 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,
01:14:24and then Scarlett could finish the album,
01:14:26and Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:39I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:42I'm sorry.
01:14:48And 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.
01:14:59Scarlett?
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!
01:15:11I was wrong about you.
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song.
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.
01:15:31Scarlett?
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.
01:15:49Dexter, she manipulated me.
01:15:51You're still my fiancee?
01:15:53You believe me?
01:15:53Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:56Fucked fraud, 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, and so is the record.
01:16:14Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:37The album terminated your contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:43Career is over.
01:16:43You got yourself a DL case.
01:16:59Hit it.
01:17:00If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:15My back is fast against the wall.
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:27Your name's on fire in my veins.
01:17:33It's burning for my veins.
01:17:36Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:41Who am I to look like?
01:17:47This mirror shows a thousand phases.
01:17:52This mirror shows a thousand phases.
01:17:53But you're not open can blind.
01:17:56who are you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:59This mirror shows a thousand phases.
01:18:02It's burning for me.
01:18:02Your name's on fire.
01:18:03It's burning for me.
01:18:04It's burning for me.
01:18:05It's burning for me.
01:18:06You're not dead.
01:18:07You're not afraid to fall.
01:18:08It's burning for me.
01:18:09You're not afraid to fall.
01:18:09Oh, my God.
01:18:39Oh, my God.
01:18:50Miss 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.
01:19:05You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to 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!
01:19:39No!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey. Hey. Hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:02You still love her, don't you?
01:20:03Dexter 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 to save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:21Casey, 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.
01:20:40Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:54The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:01You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:21It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right?
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:48But for now, all you need is rest.
01:21:51That's it, okay?
01:21:54What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:05If you don't make it through this, I won't never forgive you.
01:22:12Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21I got you, beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:28Casey, I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:39I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:53I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And 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.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:13Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:39I only did it because I had to.
01:23:44They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was 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.
01:23:55And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:57And I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:02When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:19You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:24Which...
01:24:29Reminds me.
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the 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.
01:24:50I 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.
01:24:58I 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.
01:25:18We do it together.
01:25:22I 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.
01:25:37I love you too.
01:25:37This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Maybe we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I 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.
01:26:22I love you too.
01:26:52Imagine a world where we're together.
01:26:55This goes on
01:27:11The stuff in the stockings
01:27:14But I am still walking
01:27:16For all to live
01:27:20Was 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
01:27:44Just a bit so far
01:27:48We just let on
01:27:51Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:01Just a little
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:06I 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 working
01:28:23Do it
01:28:25The mirror in heaven
01:28:29My heart is still breathing
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36While I imagine the world
01:28:38We're together
01:28:39I know
01:28:52I know
01:28:52I know
01:28:52I know
01:28:54I know
01:28:57I know
01:28:57I know
01:28:59Yet
01:29:03I just wanna
01:29:10I know
01:29:12I feel like
01:29:12It's interesting
01:29:13See you
01:29:13Okay?
