Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm Echo,
00:00:25the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:55Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Kaze. How you make me feel. You are my favorite song.
00:01:14I lose control. My little man.
00:01:26I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:34And because you're already mine.
00:01:39I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45And I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm gonna claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:01:53Hey, Kaze, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:16Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean too.
00:02:22Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Kaze.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:46I can't wait to make you my life.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my life.
00:02:52We don't call me pretty, we know better than that
00:03:04Take a flight from the city, I'm missing a fall in his bed
00:03:09We don't call me pretty, we know better than that
00:03:22And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes
00:03:33Wait for me, right here
00:03:37Dexter 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
00:03:48A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody
00:03:51Fans already love us, Dexter Hayes, you will be mine
00:03:58Scarlet 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
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight, hope you enjoy
00:04:15Shit, the backing mix is corrupted
00:04:27I can't let Dexter's show get ruined
00:04:30Echo can fix this
00:04:31Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help
00:04:37What the hell is she up to?
00:04:41Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so
00:04:47I'll be right back
00:04:50There, your gear from the studio
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:59Dad, we've talked about this
00:05:00In public, I am not your daughter, and 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
00:05:08I'm telling him tonight, but for now, I have a tractor remix
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl
00:05:16When 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
00:05:45Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:47Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:49Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:52Echo?
00:05:53Echo?
00:05:54Echo?
00:05:55Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert
00:05:58Play that song!
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01God, where's Casey?
00:06:02She said she'd stay right here
00:06:03Play that song!
00:06:04The show is a disaster
00:06:05The fans are waiting
00:06:06Can you please find her?
00:06:07I need her
00:06:08No, Dexter
00:06:09I'm the one you need
00:06:11What?
00:06:12This is Echo's novel
00:06:21Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did
00:06:35Wait
00:06:38Dexter, there's
00:06:41One more thing I should probably show you
00:06:44Um
00:06:45Casey has been hiding another man
00:06:53All those secret phone calls
00:06:55Dodged questions
00:06:56Casey was cheating on me this whole time
00:06:59Dexter
00:07:00I'm so sorry
00:07:01I would never, never do this to you
00:07:04Thanks
00:07:14Wait
00:07:15Didn't Echo just mix the new track?
00:07:17Uh
00:07:18And we're back
00:07:19Well, I uh
00:07:20I wrote this song for the love of my life
00:07:25At least I thought so
00:07:34Get ready Dex
00:07:35The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three
00:07:39Two
00:07:40One
00:07:41One
00:07:42I'm a man as I
00:07:49Every time when I look I
00:08:06Remember the time I saw you
00:08:08I had one thing to remember you by
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:15The secret feeling again
00:08:17I know I was running out of time
00:08:41I was running out of time
00:08:48I was running out of time
00:08:52I was running out of time
00:08:56I was running out of time
00:09:03I was running out of time
00:09:09How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:11Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:17He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:33I loved her and she betrayed me
00:09:38Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:40Oh my god! Is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:42Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:49Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:51Oh my god! Is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:53Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:57Yes!
00:09:58Yes!
00:09:59Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:00Yes!
00:10:01Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:06I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet.
00:10:18But she made my career and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:25It 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.
00:10:40Hey, um, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight,
00:11:01but 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...
00:11:23You 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 that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:48You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I 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.
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come 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 your music.
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook.
00:12:44Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first little platinum album.
00:12:49That's my notebook.
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:53I'm a musical genius.
00:12:55And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Give it back.
00:12:59Ow!
00:13:00Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:02See what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't...
00:13:06I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:08Dexter, baby.
00:13:10I know all about girls like her.
00:13:12They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:16She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:18She has been for years.
00:13:20Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:23Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:25Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:27Okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:32Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:35I don't know.
00:13:38But Casey...
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:46So, please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:49Okay, right now.
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:55Please.
00:13:57Please.
00:14:08The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:17We're over.
00:14:19Dex...
00:14:21Goodbye.
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.
00:14:53I gave Dex everything. I made his career but... he doesn't want me. He 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.
00:15:17Where are you?
00:15:21Tacey?
00:15:22Tacey?
00:15:23Where are you?
00:15:24It 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.
00:15:45We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your friends too.
00:15:48We'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.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:27Dressing room.
00:16:28Come alone.
00:16:30Choose to save Scarlet Hart and we'll spare them.
00:16:33Choose your little assistant and 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.
00:16:53We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:56You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancee?
00:17:03Obviously not.
00:17:05She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:09You fucked him too?
00:17:11God.
00:17:12Our precious Dexter.
00:17:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:17Girls 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.
00:17:29That's not true!
00:17:31First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:34You're psychotic!
00:17:35No, 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 single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:47You're crazy!
00:17:52Casey!
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:01Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:04Dexter help me!
00:18:06They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:10Okay guys, let's...
00:18:12Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We...we 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...
00:18:23Alright?
00:18:24You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:27No, that's not how this works!
00:18:29Dexie!
00:18:31You would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:34We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:37Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me...
00:18:41Did they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live!
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:56They 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?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you...loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him!
00:19:19For half a decade!
00:19:21If that's what you really think, Dex...
00:19:23Go ahead, make your choice!
00:19:25Choose now, or they both die!
00:19:26Dexter!
00:19:28Dexter, please!
00:19:29Think of everything I've done for you!
00:19:31You dumped her!
00:19:32You chose me!
00:19:33Don't let them murder me!
00:19:35That's enough!
00:19:37We're pulling the trigger in 3...
00:19:392...
00:19:411...
00:19:42Okay, okay, okay!
00:19:43I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, alright?
00:19:47I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter, I'm gonna faint!
00:19:53I'm gonna faint!
00:19:55He was so scared.
00:19:57He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:20:00Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:02Now wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:04You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:10And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:13No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:19I guess...
00:20:21This is the end.
00:20:23What?
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:36Let's go!
00:20:37Let's go!
00:20:38Let's go!
00:20:39Let's go!
00:20:40Okay!
00:20:41Okay!
00:20:42Okay!
00:20:43Okay!
00:20:44Okay!
00:20:45It's gonna be okay.
00:20:46Okay?
00:20:47You left me to die!
00:20:48And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:20:49I was right to walk away!
00:20:51Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:20:57Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:20:58They were gonna make me...
00:20:59I'm done living in your shadow decks!
00:21:00Goodbye!
00:21:01K-Casey, Casey, Casey, let's hang!
00:21:02I'm done living in your shadow decks!
00:21:03Goodbye!
00:21:04K-Casey, Casey, let's hang!
00:21:05What?
00:21:06I don't know!
00:21:07I'm not going to be okay!
00:21:08I don't know!
00:21:09I'm not going to be okay!
00:21:10I'm not going to be okay!
00:21:11I want to be okay!
00:21:12I'm not going to be okay!
00:21:13Done. Living in your shadow, Tex. Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey. Casey. Hey.
00:21:31Casey. Casey, stop. Please, stop. Please, please.
00:21:36We're gonna go... 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. He doesn't need you. He has Echo.
00:21:49Yeah. Sure he does. Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me? Okay.
00:22:02And what about you? You'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.
00:22:17No. Casey, you don't understand. I was trying to...
00:22:20Oh my god, that's... That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:23Oh my god, that's... That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:37Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:50So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:07I came, I came, I came, I came, I came, I came, I came, I came.
00:23:28Casey, Casey, let me explain.
00:23:37Scarlett.
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.
00:23:47I 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. 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.
00:24:17Forget him, Princess.
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's 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.
00:24:40It'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.
00:25:02No no!
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:09Guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look guys, we have one week, alright.
00:25:20Alright, to 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, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really Echo?
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing...
00:25:54He'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.
00:26:12It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screamed me over like that.
00:26:19You'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.
00:27:08All 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.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:37The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, 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 from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:27:59Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but 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
00:28:14a 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.
00:28:20Okay, 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 or her dull crusty skin or maybe those hideous god-awful clothes?
00:28:50I'm Echo.
00:28:54I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:56And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:01Scarlett, open the door.
00:29:02She'll be small.
00:29:03Come on, Dexter.
00:29:04Hold it.
00:29:05Yeah.
00:29:07How 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?
00:29:22I 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?
00:29:33She 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!
00:29:42Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:29:56No 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, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:55Ignore 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.
00:31:03All 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.
00:31:15Scarlet, what 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, with 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.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:53So 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.
00:32:02And 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.
00:32:11Are you jealous?
00:32:12I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You 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?
00:32:41Probably 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.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me?
00:32:58Who'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.
00:33:16You 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, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:35Mr. Reed.
00:33:35Mr. Reed, hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:42You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:44Well, I would really love to put that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:52Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Good.
00:33:54Oh, 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, forever grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
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.
00:35:30Dang, 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.
00:35:45Unless 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.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:04Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Oh, Dex.
00:36:07You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:19Ladies 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.
00:36:42Who 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.
00:36:51No 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?
00:37:26What?
00:37:26No.
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:40Casey.
00:37:40That'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.
00:38:04Scarlet 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 for the lady of the hour.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad, this is too much.
00:38:21Well, something from the 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.
00:38:32I 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?
00:38:51It suits you the guitar and CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I just...
00:39:09I just... I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn'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, but I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay? If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back after finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's not why I'm here. If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:01I mean, come on, Casey. I mean, you gotta understand, 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. You have to believe me, please. I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one thing. I guess, why are you here? Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge? Tank my career?
00:40:28Oh, Tank your career. I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:38You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:47This...
00:40:47This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:50Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:57Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:01The fortune.
00:41:02The fans.
00:41:03No, no, please...
00:41:04No, no, no.
00:41:05Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:09Can 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. Oh, my God.
00:41:37You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:42Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I'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.
00:41:59Wait. Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:01She can produce his songs. Wait, wait. Casey!
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:07Dexter, 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.
00:42:18I've known you for years.
00:42:44I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:48All of those years...
00:42:53I've broken their place...
00:42:58I'm still missing you...
00:43:10I'm still...
00:43:13I'm still...
00:43:16I 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.
00:43:52Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:55She's got another truth.
00:43:57I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:00Fine.
00:44:09Let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:18I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:31I'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.
00:44:44I just want you.
00:44:45And I know that you want me too.
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten...
00:44:51what we had.
00:44:53I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels...
00:44:58impossible.
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:10I 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 record labels have to say.
00:45:15If you tell me that you want to be with me,
00:45:19we'll be together.
00:45:21We can tease each other all day.
00:45:29Until you finally admit...
00:45:31that you...
00:45:32still...
00:45:34love me.
00:45:51You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument.
00:46:00The way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did,
00:46:03why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:16Hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months.
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over
00:46:23a hundred million strings.
00:46:25I mean,
00:46:25we have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:27size hole to fill
00:46:27and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:30You don't need him.
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you,
00:46:35of all people,
00:46:36get to tell me what I need.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey.
00:46:39Casey!
00:46:42Daisy has every right
00:46:44to be angry with me
00:46:45after what I did.
00:46:46I have to prove
00:46:46she can trust me again.
00:46:51Perfect timing.
00:47:01Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me
00:47:03on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05women who speak too much.
00:47:08I've been an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:11in the third person?
00:47:11I don't know what that means.
00:47:15But,
00:47:16you want to hear
00:47:17one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:20I'm very excited
00:47:21about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well,
00:47:24I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:26Actually,
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:29if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there
00:47:31faking their music with AI,
00:47:33you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:34But,
00:47:36you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39to this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka.
00:48:04I do love straight vodka.
00:48:06Hmm.
00:48:08But,
00:48:09you know what I
00:48:10actually
00:48:12love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18asshole pervs.
00:48:20My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think
00:48:24you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you
00:48:26to read records?
00:48:28Now you know
00:48:29who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:33You thought you could
00:48:33just walk in here
00:48:34and demand a live performance
00:48:35from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look
00:48:38like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure
00:48:45no label will ever
00:48:46sign you
00:48:47no matter how talented
00:48:48you are.
00:48:50I want me to label
00:48:51to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I get
00:48:53read records
00:48:53for myself.
00:48:57Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping
00:48:59you get ready.
00:49:00The paparazzi
00:49:00will be here any minute
00:49:01to see my new mistress.
00:49:02We'll plaster our photos
00:49:03all over the tabloids.
00:49:06Everyone will see
00:49:06what a slut you are.
00:49:08How you slept
00:49:08your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13but to hand you
00:49:15and your company
00:49:15over to me.
00:49:17You're delusional.
00:49:18Stay away from me.
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21that.
00:49:22Hey!
00:49:23Break your fucking hands off.
00:49:25What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:28Dexter Hayes.
00:49:30Huh?
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine.
00:49:37What 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
00:49:45a leg to stand on.
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:47Okay.
00:49:47Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:53Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced
00:49:55a sick-ass record together.
00:49:57You kind of wanted to
00:49:58defend this
00:49:58used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03The name
00:50:04is Casey Wee.
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07of the industry
00:50:08that you want so badly
00:50:10fucking in!
00:50:12Your career is dead,
00:50:13Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:17Let's go.
00:50:17Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you
00:50:37for months.
00:50:38Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:39My business
00:50:40is none of your concern.
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:44what the hell do you think
00:50:45would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea
00:50:46what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you.
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48He could have done-
00:50:49Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant
00:50:53anymore!
00:50:55So,
00:50:55it's not your concern
00:50:56where I am
00:50:57or what I'm doing.
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:59So,
00:51:00stop following me.
00:51:03The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:09Stop following you
00:51:11the minute that you
00:51:12stop making stupid
00:51:14fucking decisions.
00:51:16And when I've made up
00:51:17for all the danger
00:51:18I've put her in.
00:51:19You're way too interested in my personal life,
00:51:27Dex.
00:51:27Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:40You don't fucking let them.
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:47I don't want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:57So,
00:51:58what am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she
00:52:02doesn't exist
00:52:03and be
00:52:04the pop star's
00:52:05secret side piece again?
00:52:08I should push him away,
00:52:11but
00:52:12I can't deny
00:52:13how much I miss his touch.
00:52:15You were never the side piece.
00:52:17And you know it.
00:52:28Boss!
00:52:29I have news!
00:52:31Thank you
00:52:32for your help
00:52:33today,
00:52:34Dexter.
00:52:36Please,
00:52:37stop following me.
00:52:41Or else
00:52:42it's going to get harder
00:52:43and harder
00:52:44to 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
00:53:00fraudulence
00:53:01and drug abuse
00:53:02have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label,
00:53:04studio,
00:53:05or brand
00:53:05will go anywhere near.
00:53:06His net worth
00:53:07plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rice
00:53:10to his music.
00:53:12I'm going to give that
00:53:13to Casey as a gift.
00:53:19I heard what happened
00:53:21with Sasha.
00:53:22Now,
00:53:22that was way too risky,
00:53:23Casey.
00:53:24Look,
00:53:24I'm far from
00:53:25Dexter's biggest fan,
00:53:26but that could have
00:53:26gotten real ugly
00:53:27if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also
00:53:31a huge leak in the press.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:34dirty laundry
00:53:35out for everyone to see.
00:53:37He's been,
00:53:37what 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
00:53:49to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing anything
00:53:52anywhere
00:53:52or get sued
00:53:53to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down
00:53:56Sasha Silver
00:53:56for me?
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad
00:54:00as I thought.
00:54:02Or maybe he should
00:54:02stop interfering
00:54:03himself with my life.
00:54:09The world famous
00:54:10music producer Echo
00:54:11is set to finally
00:54:12reveal their identity
00:54:13at the legendary
00:54:14Universal Music Awards
00:54:15tomorrow night.
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince
00:54:20the world she's Echo
00:54:21before it can expose
00:54:22her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up
00:54:24the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later,
00:54:26Dexter will realize
00:54:27she can't even
00:54:27hold a tune.
00:54:29Much less produce
00:54:29a hit track.
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing
00:54:31if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter
00:54:34wouldn't look at her
00:54:35twice, let alone
00:54:36marry her,
00:54:37if she wasn't
00:54:38pretending to be
00:54:39a genius producer.
00:54:40I don't know how
00:54:40she thinks she's
00:54:41going to get away
00:54:41with it.
00:54:44I think it's time
00:54:45the world finds out
00:54:46who the real Echo is.
00:54:52You want to go
00:54:52to the UMAs
00:54:53as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me
00:54:55every year
00:54:56and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam
00:54:59go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world
00:55:01finds out the truth
00:55:02about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world?
00:55:04Or Dexter?
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:12He made his bed
00:55:13when he proposed
00:55:13to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter
00:55:15deserves all the
00:55:16recognition of the world.
00:55:18But if you're
00:55:19going to go as Echo,
00:55:20oh, you're going
00:55:20to do it right.
00:55:21with the best
00:55:23equipment money
00:55:23can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people
00:55:28to see my princess
00:55:29for the queen
00:55:30that she is.
00:55:34You're the best,
00:55:35Dad.
00:55:35Mrs. Hayes!
00:55:50It's so good
00:55:51to see you again.
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged?
00:55:57Yes, my future
00:55:58daughter-in-law
00:55:59is performing
00:56:00at the Universal
00:56:01Music Awards
00:56:02tomorrow
00:56:02and I'd like
00:56:03to gift her
00:56:04something to mark
00:56:05the occasion.
00:56:06So none of these
00:56:07mass-produced guitars.
00:56:09She's a musical genius.
00:56:11We need something
00:56:11one-of-a-kind
00:56:12just like her.
00:56:13Of course.

00:57:48Hold on
00:57:48just one second.
00:57:50To Dexter
00:57:50Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my God.
00:57:54I need to speak
00:57:55to the owner
00:57:55about an offer.
00:57:56You think you
00:57:57set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course,
00:57:58Mr. Hayes.
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:02Just kidding.
00:58:04It's all yours
00:58:05now.
00:58:05Oh!

00:58:10Oh!
00:58:11Oh!
00:58:14Scarlett,
00:58:15ignore this
00:58:16wannabe musician.
00:58:18We'll find
00:58:19a better option.
00:58:21Mmm.
00:58:22Mmm.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27Beyonce used
00:58:28this on her
00:58:29last album.
00:58:30This instrument
00:58:31is worthy
00:58:32of Echo,
00:58:33the genius
00:58:34producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey,
00:58:36hey, hey.
00:58:37Actually,
00:58:37actually,
00:58:38this guitar
00:58:39is no longer
00:58:40available.
00:58:41I'm going to
00:58:41go ahead.
00:58:42I'm going to
00:58:42go ahead.
00:58:43I'm going to
00:58:46just...
00:58:47My apologies,
00:58:50my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look,
00:58:55we 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 going to stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:05How dare you,
00:59:11you little bitch.
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:21Hi, Dexy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter,
00:59:27she just insulted your
00:59:29Beyonce.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:32Ma,
00:59:32do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my
00:59:36engagement?
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?
00:59:49Actually,
00:59:49I'm sorry,
00:59:51you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:56Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
01:00:01I knew you would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes,
01:00:03it's not for sale.
01:00:05You know,
01:00:05why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs and I'll pay it whatever it is right
01:00:10here and now.
01:00:12Ms. Reed,
01:00:13as the new owner of the store,
01:00:15how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait,
01:00:17what?
01:00:21I'm sorry,
01:00:22I'm the new owner.
01:00:26Consider it 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,
01:00:35as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:36you probably don't at all.
01:00:37But I'm someone who cares about you a lot.
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter,
01:00:44are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician and you gave her the entire store.
01:00:51You're going to make us pay her for a guitar.
01:00:55Oh,
01:00:55it'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,
01:01:04I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:07And besides,
01:01:08we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:10I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:13You 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,
01:01:23mom.
01:01:28Hi.
01:01:29One,
01:01:30I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:32It's Miss Reed,
01:01:33and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:36Two,
01:01:36my birthday was months ago.
01:01:39Actually,
01:01:39the night that you proposed to Scarlet.
01:01:41So your gift means nothing.
01:01:46Did you know,
01:01:46I was actually going to tell you my secret that night.
01:01:49What secret?
01:01:53Secret.
01:01:53Hold on.
01:01:54What are you talking about?
01:01:54What 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.
01:02:05But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:27to her collection.
01:02:29Yes,
01:02:29sir.
01:02:31Oh,
01:02:32and one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:35Yes,
01:02:37sir.
01:02:40But,
01:02:40Dexter,
01:02:41you can't do this.
01:02:42I love you.
01:02:56Mr. Hayes,
01:02:57Miss 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,
01:03:05they're 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.
01:03:18No.
01:03:19Scarlet.
01:03:20Scarlet.
01:03:20You can't start the show without me.
01:03:36I knew you'd make it.
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,
01:03:46Scarlet.
01:03:47You know,
01:03:48I'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 when you yourself have none.
01:03:56Mm.
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?
01:04:11Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope 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?
01:04:44I didn't even make that version.
01:04:48I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to 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 gonna run the broadcast,
01:05:00and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:02What are we gonna do?
01:05:04I have an idea.
01:05:06You're Echo,
01:05:07right?
01:05:14Yes,
01:05:19it's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo,
01:05:22the award-winning producer
01:05:24and 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,
01:05:37this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean,
01:05:39the whole world is watching.
01:05:40I 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.
01:05:54Watch me work my magic.
01:06:10And that's how it's done.
01:06:16She almost 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,
01:06:24can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle,
01:06:27and can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:32Damn,
01:06:40I guess you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live,
01:06:44looping 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,
01:06:56I think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:06:58Scarlet,
01:06:58Scarlet,
01:06:59why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real.
01:07:00Okay,
01:07:01you're-
01:07:01You're Echo.
01:07:03Okay,
01:07:03so,
01:07:04just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on,
01:07:08Echo.
01:07:09What,
01:07:09you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet,
01:07:19you are our only hope now.
01:07:22You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could,
01:07:24if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:29Casey,
01:07:30if you're such a genius,
01:07:31why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh,
01:07:33I,
01:07:33I actually would,
01:07:34gladly,
01:07:35but it's actually your big night,
01:07:36so,
01:07:37why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:39and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo,
01:07:41Echo,
01:07:42Echo,
01:07:42Echo,
01:07:43Echo,
01:07:44Echo,
01:07:44Echo,
01:07:45Echo,
01:07:46Echo,
01:07:46Echo,
01:07:46Echo,
01:07:47Just your Echo,
01:07:49okay?
01:07:50Record some mini instruments,
01:07:51lay them down,
01:07:52make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple.
01:07:53You know how to do this.
01:07:55You really think your fiance is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:59I mean,
01:07:59if she goes down,
01:08:00you 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
01:08:08and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that right,
01:08:36make it sound like music.
01:08:58Oh my god,
01:08:59is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on, Echo.
01:09:03Show them your talent.
01:09:04Keep going.
01:09:04Get off the stage.
01:09:06You'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,
01:09:25how many years?
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:26I'm going to throw it all away because you know what?
01:09:31Someone 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,
01:09:39maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:09:43Dexter,
01:09:45Dexter,
01:09:46stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:49Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:51Mom,
01:09:52you 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,
01:10:13I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:17No, no,
01:10:18there's no,
01:10:18there's,
01:10:19there's no other,
01:10:19hey,
01:10:20it's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:27What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom,
01:10:33mom,
01:10:33stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlett?
01:10:38I mean,
01:10:39you 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,
01:10:45what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one,
01:10:48I 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.
01:10:57Everyone,
01:11:01we'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,
01:11:10let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter,
01:11:12sing me the first line of your song,
01:11:13just your voice.
01:11:16I know.
01:11:17I know.
01:11:23I am not the kind
01:11:27for sure.
01:11:28This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:34Lights are low,
01:11:36but I still love.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:43Good.
01:11:47Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:11:57Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:17You produced this, right?
01:12:18So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I, I, I can't.
01:12:21I don't have much.
01:12:22You don't need anything
01:12:23except for a band
01:12:24and raw talent.
01:12:26I mean,
01:12:26you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound,
01:12:35it's familiar.
01:12:41This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:46Casey.
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed
01:13:04is 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
01:13:20to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now 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,
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?
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.
01:14:10And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology
01:14:15from 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,
01:14:24and 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.
01:14:39I 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!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything!
01:14:57Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:57Tell the world the truth, Scarlet.
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo!
01:15:03I pretended,
01:15:03and I never wrote or produced
01:15:05any 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, Scarlet.
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo!
01:15:35I pretended,
01:15:36and I never wrote or produced
01:15:37any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:38They are happy!
01:15:42They are happy!
01:15:45Wait!
01:15:46That's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter!
01:15:50She manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiancé!
01:15:52Scarlet, you are exactly
01:15:54what we all see.
01:15:56Fucked fraud,
01:15:56and you're a damn liar!
01:15:59Casey is the one
01:16:01who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one
01:16:03who saved the damn song!
01:16:05She's the only one
01:16:06who ever cared about me
01:16:08or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off,
01:16:12and so is the record.
01:16:13Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album?
01:16:39Terminating your contract
01:16:40and blacklisting you
01:16:41from the industry.
01:16:43Career's over.
01:16:49You got yourself
01:16:50the old case.
01:16:59Hit it.
01:16:59If we're not here for long,
01:17:10tell me where would we belong?
01:17:16My back is passed
01:17:18against the wall.
01:17:21I need you to know
01:17:23I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:27Your name's on fire
01:17:30in my wings.
01:17:33It's burning for my chains.
01:17:38Who are you
01:17:39to tell me why?
01:17:44Who am I
01:17:45to live a lie?
01:17:46This mirror shows

01:18:15the
01:18:16look
01:18:16I love you
01:18:18them
01:18:49Miss 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 going to be mine!
01:19:17I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:29But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38Dex!
01:19:50Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:00You 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.
01:20:13But 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?
01:20:28Listen, but 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.
01:20:45Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:52Maybe 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.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:27It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully.
01:21:46He'll recover.
01:21:48But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:51That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:53Okay.
01:21:59What 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?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:32Casey, I...
01:22:37I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:50You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:56And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:06Listen.
01:23:06No.
01:23:08Is 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.
01:23:24That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I 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?
01:23:47I 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...
01:23:58But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:10I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:24Which reminds me.
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:39The Wildlight 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...
01:24:53You'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.
01:25:18We do it together.
01:25:19I 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.
01:25:37It's 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.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:18So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22I hope you enjoy.
