06:52oops
06:53slipped out of my hands
06:54slipped out of my hands.
06:56My bad.
06:57Are you insane?
07:00You just destroyed a million dollar guitar.
07:03Here it is.
07:04Take this woman away.
07:06Hold on just one second.
07:08Dexter Hayes?
07:10Oh my God.
07:12I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
07:15Can you please tell that for me?
07:15Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
07:20Just kidding.
07:21It's all yours now.
07:32Ignore this wannabe musician.
07:35We'll find a better option.
07:42Like this one.
07:44Beyonce used this on her last album.
07:47This instrument is worthy of echo.
07:50The genius producer.
07:52Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
07:54Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
07:58In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
08:03I'm going to just...
08:05My apologies, my apologies.
08:08No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
08:09We saw it first.
08:12Look, look.
08:12We just want the one guitar.
08:14I'm sure we can come to a generous...
08:15Every night.
08:16You can pay all you want for the guitar,
08:18but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
08:22How dare you, you little bitch!
08:34That's enough.
08:38Hi, Dexie.
08:42Are you okay?
08:42Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
08:47You need to do something.
08:49Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
08:55Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
09:00The least you could do is show her a little respect.
09:06You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
09:09I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
09:15Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
09:18I knew you would support me.
09:19Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
09:22You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs, and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
09:27Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
09:34Wait, what?
09:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
09:42Consider it a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
09:45You did this for me?
09:48You really think I need a music store?
09:51Well, I see you over-read records you probably don't know, but I'm someone who cares about you a lot, and why the hell not?
09:57Thanks, sir!
10:00Are you insane?
10:02She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
10:07You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
10:11Oh, it's okay.
10:12Scarlett could have it for free, as long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
10:17Ah!
10:19Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
10:23And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
10:26I will talk to you about this later.
10:30You will regret this.
10:32Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
10:35She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
10:39Thanks, Mom.
10:39One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
10:48It's Ms. Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
10:52Two, my birthday was months ago.
10:55Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett, so your gift means nothing.
11:00Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
11:05What secret?
11:08You talking about what secret?
11:13Should I tell him the truth?
11:16No.
11:17That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
11:20But not anymore.
11:26I don't need you.
11:38Don't be interested in anything she just said.
11:39I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
11:44Yes, sir?
11:46Oh, and one more thing.
11:49She's fired.
11:50Yes, sir.
11:55But, Dexter, you can't do this.
11:57I love you.
12:09Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five.
12:12The broadcast will begin live.
12:16Did you hear that?
12:17Millions of fans are going to be hearing your story.
12:19Me hearing your song.
12:20It's exactly what you deserve.
12:22The world needs to hear your talent.
12:25I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
12:29All right, guys.
12:31All right, guys.
12:31It's time.
12:32Let's go.
12:33Scarlet!
12:33You can't start the show without me.
12:36You can't start the show without me.
12:52I knew you'd make it.
12:53Of course she did.
12:54Of course she did.
12:54Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
12:58Dexter, Scarlet.
12:59You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
13:02I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have none.
13:09I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
13:13Oh, I guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
13:17Break a leg, Scarlet.
13:20Or should I say, Echo?
13:23Don't choke.
13:25Hope you don't choke.
13:27The playback's down.
13:50The track's gone completely white.
13:52You have another version of the track, right?
13:57I didn't even make that version.
14:00I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me her to her reject tracks.
14:03Go fix this.
14:04Now.
14:07This is bad.
14:08All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
14:11We're going to burn the broadcast, and the label's going to drop us.
14:14What are we going to do?
14:16I have an idea.
14:18Your Echo, right?
14:27Yes, it's true.
14:33I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
14:39Then prove it.
14:41Go ahead.
14:42Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
14:45Come on.
14:46You're a genius producer, right?
14:48I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
14:51I mean, the whole world is watching.
14:53I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
14:56This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
14:58I must have another file I can play.
15:00I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
15:04Of course.
15:05Watch me work my magic.
15:07And that's how it's done.
15:27The show must go on.
15:29Nice try.
15:30Scarlet's proven herself enough.
15:32You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
15:35Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
15:38And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
15:43Yeah.
15:51Damn, I guess you're going to have to do with the old-fashioned way.
15:54That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
15:56Don't listen to her.
15:58She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
16:01And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrected.
16:05If I didn't know any better, I think you were trying to sabotage me.
16:09Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that?
16:12For real.
16:12Okay, here, Echo.
16:14Okay, so just fix the track.
16:18Yeah.
16:19Come on, Echo.
16:20What, you have performance anxiety?
16:22Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
16:32You have to fix this.
16:34I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
16:40Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
16:43Oh, I actually would, gladly.
16:45But it's actually your big night, so...
16:47So, why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
16:51Echo!
16:52Echo!
16:53Echo!
16:54Echo!
16:55Echo!
16:56Echo!
16:57Echo!
16:58Just your Echo, okay?
17:00Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
17:03It's that simple.
17:03You know how to do this.
17:05You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
17:09I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
17:14Casey shouldn't even be here.
17:15I can't let her expose me.
17:17Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
17:43Is this part of her process?
17:44It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
18:01Are you...
18:03Are you...
18:07Oh my God, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
18:12Come on, Echo.
18:14Show them your talent.
18:15Keep going.
18:16Get off the stage.
18:17You're ruining the UMAs.
18:19All right, look.
18:25It's done.
18:26You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
18:29You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
18:31Yeah.
18:32I am.
18:33That whole career that I fought for forever, how many years?
18:37Yeah.
18:37Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
18:47And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
18:52Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
18:58Your entire life's work is on the line.
19:01Mom, you heard the track, okay?
19:03There's no saving the song.
19:05Now it's over.
19:06It's over.
19:07Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
19:26No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other act.
19:29Hey!
19:30It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
19:37What the hell do you think you're doing?
19:42Mom, mom, stop.
19:45You heard of Scarlet?
19:47I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
19:53If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
19:56For one, I know what I'm doing.
19:59And if you don't, will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
20:05Happily.
20:06Hmm.
20:07Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave.
20:14It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
20:18Since we're live, let's make something new.
20:21Dexter, send me the first line of your song, just your voice.
20:25I know.
20:26I know.
20:27I know.
20:27Good.
20:34I know.
20:34I know.
20:34I know.
20:35I know.
20:35I know.
20:35The kind for show.
20:36The kind for show.
20:41This is not a one-time thing.
20:44Lights are low, but I still will.
20:49This moment's got a stake.
20:52Good.
20:54Good.
20:57Now let's make a hit.
21:04Let's fucking go!
21:06Wait, what is she doing?
21:24I mean, you produced this, right?
21:26So do you want to go ahead and take over?
21:28I can't.
21:29I don't have fun.
21:31You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
21:34I mean, you are a musician, right?
21:36And when is Casey Reed a musical junior?
21:43That sound, it's familiar.
21:45I'm not the kind for show.
21:50This is not a one-time thing.
21:54Stop!
21:54Stop it!
21:55You're a music.
22:13This is my song.
22:15She just ripped it off.
22:16Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
22:18Don't listen to her.
22:21I'm Echo.
22:22I didn't even make that version
22:26I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
22:29Go fix this
22:31Now everyone knows the truth
22:35She's the one that saved the song
22:42No, that was me
22:43I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit
22:46I had to mix the track live, Dexter
22:49So that makes it my intellectual property
22:52You're welcome to put it on your next album
22:54But you're going to have to pay me for it
22:56Where do I sign?
22:58I don't think you could afford my fee
22:59I think you might just be surprised
23:02$200 million
23:05$200 million for one song?
23:09That's more than our entire album deal, are you insane?
23:12And I want my name to be credited
23:14Bad deal, Miss Reed
23:17And one last thing
23:20I want a public apology
23:23From Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes
23:26That's ridiculous
23:26Why should we apologize to you?
23:29I mean, you don't have to
23:30I could just go ahead and leave
23:31And then Scarlett could finish the album
23:33And Dexter's career could crash and burn
23:35So, what will it be?
23:42I was wrong about you
23:47You saved Dexter's song
23:48I'm sorry
23:51And you
23:55Do it
23:56Apologize to her
23:58That bitch
23:59Why do I have to apologize to her?
24:01She ruined everything
24:03Come on, let's hear it
24:04Tell the world the truth
24:05Scarlett
24:06Fine
24:07I'm not Echo
24:09I pretended
24:10And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
24:12They are happy
24:13Wait
24:18That's not what I really meant
24:21Dexter
24:22She manipulated me
24:24You're still my fiance
24:25You believe me?
24:26Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see
24:28You fucking brought in your damn wire
24:30Casey is the one who built my career
24:35Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
24:37She's the only one who ever cared about me
24:41Or loved me
24:42Our engagement is off
24:45And so is the record
24:46Please don't cancel the album
25:10The album
25:11Terminating contract
25:13And blacklisting from the industry
25:14Tour is over
25:16You got yourself a deal case
25:23If we're not here for long
25:41Tell me where would we belong
25:46My back is fast
25:50Against the wall
25:52I need you to know
25:55I'm not afraid to fall
25:58Your name's on fire
26:01In my veins
26:04It's burning for my chains
26:08Who are you to tell me why
26:13Who am I to look like
26:18This mirror shows a thousand phases
26:23When nothing can fly
26:27In your body
26:30Gonna play
26:36I'm not afraid to fall
26:37As you lie
26:38You'vebout Jerusalem
26:39I'm not afraid to fall
26:40People are afraid to fall
26:42I find you to believe
26:44It's burning for you
26:45mountains
26:46I'm not afraid to be
26:47I'm not afraid to fall
27:18Ms. Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
27:28I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
27:32You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
27:40You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
27:44Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
28:01But you had to get in my way.
28:06That won't happen again.
28:07Dex, no!
28:21Dex, Dex, stay with me!
28:23Oh my God!
28:24Hey, hey, hey, you've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
28:37Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
28:43You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
28:49It doesn't matter now. Things will never return back to how they were before.
28:55Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
29:00So, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
29:04And those two songs you two produced together, they made me millions believe in love.
29:10Your love.
29:11Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean, the love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
29:20Ali, Dexter never stopped caring about you. Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
29:26The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
29:32You know, if our CEO approves.
29:34Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
29:48Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
29:50Princess.
29:54Princess.
29:55Princess.
29:59Princess.
30:01Princess.
30:02Princess.
30:03Princess.
30:04Princess.
30:04Princess.
30:04It was a close call.
30:09One centimeter to the right.
30:10He could have punctured his lung.
30:12If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
30:17Oh, hopefully he'll recover.
30:19But for now, all he need is rest.
30:22That's it.
30:23Yeah.
30:30What is wrong with you, Dexter?
30:32How could you do something so stupid?
30:36If you don't make it through this, I won't never forgive you.
30:42Never.
30:42Never.
30:42Never.
30:44I got you.
30:47Hi.
30:53My God, you're beautiful.
30:58Why are you still mad at me?
31:01I think I have every right to be.
31:07Can you see that?
31:12I miss you.
31:14I miss him, too.
31:16But everything we've put each other through,
31:19can we really be together again?
31:21You saved my life, and...
31:24I will be forever grateful.
31:31And in return, I'll give you your song for free,
31:34and we can go our separate ways.
31:36We can end on a high note.
31:37No.
31:38No.
31:40Is that really what you want?
31:43To walk away from all this forever?
31:45Look, there's something I have to show you.
31:54Something I've been trying to show you.
31:55That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
32:13I only did it because I had to.
32:15They forced you to choose her.
32:17I was trying to save your life, okay?
32:20I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
32:23I'd choose you a million times over.
32:26And I knew that I'd break your heart.
32:27And I knew that I would lose you.
32:29And I...
32:30But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
32:34But I said I loved you, Dexter.
32:41I meant it.
32:43I don't want to be with anyone else.
32:46Me neither.
32:51You're my little muse.
32:52My pop star.
33:01Which...
33:01Reminds me.
33:04Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
33:11The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
33:15You saved their CEO.
33:17You deserve it.
33:17You're the reason I sing.
33:20You're the reason I live.
33:22I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
33:25You...
33:26You're my world, Casey.
33:30I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
33:32I know.
33:33But none of them compare to how I feel.
33:36I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that stuff.
33:41I don't even want to sing or have this career.
33:43I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
33:46That's all I need.
33:47We do it together.
33:55I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
33:58Okay.
34:01I want us to do this together.
34:05I love you.
34:08I love you too.
34:09This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
34:27Then you better give them one hell of a show.
34:28Who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
34:48So, I hope you enjoy.
35:14Just get on, every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where to get on.
35:26It goes on, there's stuff in the stockets, but I am still walking wrong to live.
35:49I was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreated, every time I look at the moon flow, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
36:05Soon you'll see, that it's time for you and me.
36:13Just the best so far, we're just a little, every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am, just a little, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:35I dream of a night that's lost forever, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:47I'm taking and talking, but I will be watching, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:55I dream of a night that's lost forever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:07I dream of a night that's lost forever, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
