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, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I 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. I'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?
00:00:58Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:03I am so done hiding you.
00:01:07I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel. You are my favorite song.
00:01:14I lose control. My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:32Good. And because you're already mine. I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:44And I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:54Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:44I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:52We don't call it pretty, we know better than that
00:03:04Take a flight for our city, come and suffer in his pain
00:03:09We don't call it rain, to find these other things
00:03:14And we shall bang his pain
00:03:22And now, for the star of our show
00:03:27The world's hottest pop star
00:03:29And 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 lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody
00:03:51Fans already love us
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine
00:03:58Scarlet Heart
00:04:01Dexter 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
00:04:09She'll finally take the hint
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight
00:04:14Hope 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?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes
00:04:47So, I'll be right back
00:04:50There, your gear from the studio
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear
00:04:58Dad, we've talked about this
00:05:00In public, I am not your daughter
00:05:02And I'm not Echo
00:05:03But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him
00:05:06You made him the star he is
00:05:08I'm telling him tonight
00:05:11But for now
00:05:13I have a tractor remix
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl
00:05:16When Dexter sees this
00:05:20He'll dump that little cheater
00:05:22And run straight into my arms
00:05:24Oh my god
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs
00:05:45Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:54Time to save Dex's concert
00:05:58Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:02God, where's Casey?
00:06:03She said she'd stay right here
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
00:06:08No, Dexter
00:06:09I'm the one you need
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's number?
00:06:24Are you her?
00:06:27Are you her?
00:06:31Listen
00:06:32Can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did
00:06:35Wait
00:06:39Dexter, there's
00:06:41One more thing I should probably show you
00:06:44Casey has been hiding another man
00:06:48All those secret phone calls
00:06:56Dodged questions
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time
00:06:59Dexter
00:07:01I'm so sorry
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you
00:07:04Thanks
00:07:07Wait
00:07:16Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh
00:07:19And we're back
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life
00:07:23At least I thought so
00:07:27Get ready Dex
00:07:36The mix to your next big single
00:07:38Is coming to you in
00:07:39Three
00:07:40Two
00:07:41One
00:07:42I'm
00:07:45I'm
00:07:46I'm
00:07:47I'm
00:07:49I'm
00:07:51I'm
00:07:52Every time I look, I
00:08:06Remember the time I saw you
00:08:08One 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 when I died
00:08:38I know I was when I died
00:09:08How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:34To announce our relationship
00:09:36I loved her
00:09:38And she betrayed me
00:09:40Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god!
00:10:03Dexie!
00:10:04Yes!
00:10:05Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:18But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:22It was all a lie
00:10:26It was all a lie
00:10:26Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:35Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45You promised me
00:10:56That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead, you proposed and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:09I gave you everything
00:11:12I loved you!
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:16I owe her
00:11:18Oh
00:11:19Okay, I-I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:21Alright, I don't
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career
00:11:32She made me who I am today
00:11:34Okay, so-so-so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:41You 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
00:12:00How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:06You know, I don't even know who you are
00:12:11Is 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
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:27Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty
00:12:32Just your music
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:46For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:48That's my notebook
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius
00:12:54And you're just
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:58Give it back
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:01See, what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't
00:13:04I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexter, baby
00:13:08I know all about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money
00:13:13Without really ever having to work for it
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you
00:13:16She has been for years
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:26Okay, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:28Go wait in the car
00:13:32Please
00:13:32Casey
00:13:38Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:45So please just
00:13:47Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:51Please
00:13:55Please
00:13:59The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway
00:14:11We're over
00:14:17Dex
00:14:20Goodbye
00:14:23Forever
00:14:24The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight
00:14:52And she said yes
00:14:53Dad
00:14:59I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career
00:15:04But
00:15:04He doesn't want me
00:15:06He never did
00:15:08What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:13And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:17Casey
00:15:21Casey
00:15:22Where are you?
00:15:32Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:38Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:44We won't hurt you
00:15:45We're your friends, too
00:15:47We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:50We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:15:58You're trying to steal him from his soul mate
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him
00:16:04We were in love
00:16:06Or I thought we were
00:16:08We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:13Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:17Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:23Dressing room
00:16:27Come alone
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:30And we'll spare them
00:16:32Choose your little assistant
00:16:34And they both die
00:16:36You've reached Casey
00:16:38I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left a 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
00:16:56Are 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
00:17:07You fucked him, too?
00:17:10God, our precious Dexter
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:18You don't deserve to live
00:17:20No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:23So if Casey dies
00:17:26Then the truth dies with her
00:17:28That's not true
00:17:30First you steal my identity
00:17:32Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:33You're psychotic
00:17:35No, don't worry, Casey
00:17:36If you die today
00:17:38Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:39And maybe it'll even be the least single on our new album
00:17:43You're crazier than they are
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey
00:17:52Dexter
00:17:53Dexter
00:17:53Dexter
00:17:59Dexter
00:18:00Dexter
00:18:01Dexter
00:18:02Dexter
00:18:03Dexter, help me
00:18:04They hit me
00:18:05And then they tied me up
00:18:07And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:09Okay guys, let's
00:18:11Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We can't do that, Dexter
00:18:16We're your biggest fans
00:18:18We're doing this for you
00:18:21Okay, well if you love me
00:18:22Alright, you'll put the gun down
00:18:25And then let these two go, please
00:18:27No, that's not how this works
00:18:28Dexie
00:18:30You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:32We're engaged now
00:18:34You can't let me die
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had
00:18:38All the memories
00:18:39All the I love you's you told me
00:18:41Did they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live
00:18:46Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die
00:18:58I 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
00:19:22Go ahead, make your choice
00:19:24Choose now or they both die
00:19:26Dexter
00:19:27Dexter, please
00:19:29Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:30You dumped her
00:19:32You chose me
00:19:33Don't let them murder me
00:19:35That's enough
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in
00:19:37Three
00:19:38Two
00:19:40One
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:44Scarlet, alright?
00:19:47I choose Scarlet
00:19:48Dexter
00:19:52I'm gonna faint
00:19:53He 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
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
00:20:13I guess this is the end
00:20:22Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:27Put the gun down
00:20:30Put the gun down
00:20:32Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun
00:20:35Let's go
00:20:46Let's go
00:20:47Okay
00:20:48Okay
00:20:49It's gonna be okay
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die
00:20:59And for the record
00:21:01I never needed your money
00:21:02I was right to walk away
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:08Look, Casey
00:21:10You don't understand, alright?
00:21:11They were gonna make me
00:21:12I'm done
00:21:13Living in your shadow, Dex
00:21:16Goodbye
00:21:17Casey, Casey
00:21:23Hey
00:21:24Casey
00:21:32Casey, stop
00:21:34Please, stop
00:21:35Please, please
00:21:35We're gonna go
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:45You're delusional
00:21:46He doesn't need you
00:21:47He has Echo
00:21:49Yeah
00:21:49Sure he does
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:21:56Fame changed me?
00:22:01Okay
00:22:01And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:07I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:17No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to
00:22:20Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:48I'm so sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:22:53You're here now
00:22:56Take me home
00:22:58Jump
00:23:12I'll give you away
00:23:15I'll show you
00:23:15Everything you do
00:23:16I'll show, I'm going
00:23:18I'll show you
00:23:19I'll show you
00:23:20Jason, hey
00:23:21I'm withdraw
00:23:21Wait
00:23:22I'll show you
00:23:22I'll show you
00:23:23I'll show you
00:23:24I'm out
00:23:24I'll show you
00:23:24I'll show you
00:23:25I'll show you
00:23:26I'll show you
00:23:27Kaysha!
00:23:28Kaysha!
00:23:29Kaysha!
00:23:30Kaysha!
00:23:31Kaysha!
00:23:32Kaysha!
00:23:33Let me explain!
00:23:35Scarlett.
00:23:36Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:41I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Kaysha loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:20You 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.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:02My back is pressed.
00:25:05Nothing.
00:25:09Ok!
00:25:10Guys, cut the track!
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look guys, we have one week, alright?
00:25:20To finish this song before the release.
00:25:22The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:24can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:32What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really Echo?
00:25:42Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:50It's just your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:59I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter, and I'm sorry, but my last assistant
00:26:17would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:23Let's do it again.
00:26:28Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:33Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:26:48We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:07All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:12So why can't I do the same?
00:27:15Look what we just got.
00:27:17An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year, the Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:26Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:31Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:35Dexter, you said it yourself, they can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:40We have to go.
00:27:41This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:27:45Okay, look, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:27:54He's a billionaire record executive.
00:27:56I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:05You have to go, and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:09He could make or break our careers.
00:28:11Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:13Of course I am.
00:28:14We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:17So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:22We are the industry's it couple, so now forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:34I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:37Her coarse, tangled hair or her dull, crusty skin or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo, I'm the Reed heiress, and I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:00How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We'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?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:27Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter. I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:37Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay? She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:41Look! Here she is now!
00:29:53No fucking way!
00:30:11This time we have won!
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:26Hey Dex! Long time no-see.
00:30:31Dex has already moved on with Scarlett. I 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. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:15Hmm.
00:31:32Scarlet, 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 for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:43But the party's just getting started. I 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.
00:32:12You're 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.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, 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.
00:34:02Yeah, 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 Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, 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, I, 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, dang, 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, Ed 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?
00:36:15Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:24Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:34But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:52No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:00He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:04He's going to 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.
00:37:23What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:28No.
00:37:32No.
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?
00:38:51What suits you?
00:38:59Suits you.
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:05Why can't you just say you miss me?

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, Dax.
00:44:03Fine.
00:44:09Let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:23Not anymore.
00:44:31I'm your former boss now.
00:44:33In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:39I 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.
00:44:46You don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:53I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:04I don't care about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:13I don't care what the 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
00:45:30that you still love 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, we 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!
00:46:42Casey 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,
00:47:14but you 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,
00:47:24hired to 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.
00:48:04But you know what I
00:48:10actually love
00:48:13even 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?
00:48:40Absolutely.
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.
00:48:54I'll 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.
00:49:02He'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!
00:49:24Break your fucking hands
00:49:25off.
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:29Extra 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,
00:49:42sweetheart.
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?
00:49:49Okay, 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
00:49:57to defend this
00:49:58used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03The name
00:50:04is Casey Wee.

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!

00:53:30there was also a huge

01:03:45Dexter, Scarlett
01:03:47you know I'm actually surprised you showed up

01:06:29yeah
01:06:32damn I guess you're gonna have to do it the old fashioned way
01:06:42that means recording the instruments live looping them

01:06:46she doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:49and this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:53if I didn't know any better
01:06:55I think you were trying to sabotage it

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
01:10:50will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56happily
01:10:56hmm
01:10:57everyone
01:11:00we'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
01:11:08since we're live let's make something new
01:11:11Dexter sing me the first line of your song just your voice
01:11:14right now
01:11:16right now
01:11:17I am not the kind for a show
01:11:28this is not a one-time thing
01:11:34lights are low but I still glow
01:11:38this morning's got a sting
01:11:43good
01:11:44now let's make a hit
01:11:48let's fucking go
01:11:57wait what is she doing?
01:12:14I mean you produced this right so do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I-I can't I don't have but
01:12:21you don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:26I mean you are a musician right?
01:12:27then when is Casey Reed a musical junior?
01:12:34that sounds it's familiar
01:12:37I'm not the kind for a show
01:12:40this is not a one-time thing
01:12:45stop stop it
01:12:46Casey?
01:12:58Casey?
01:12:58you're Echo
01:13:01does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:05this is my song?
01:13:07this is my song she just ripped it off
01:13:09who's stealing now Scarlet?
01:13:11don't listen to her
01:13:14I'm Echo
01:13:16I didn't even make that version I 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
01:13:29she's the one that saved the song
01:13:34no that was me
01:13:36I already did all the work she's just taking the credit
01:13:39I had to mix the track live Dexter so that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:45you're welcome to put it on your next album but you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:13:49where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:54I think you might just be surprised
01:13:56200 million
01:13:57200 million?
01:14:00for one song?
01:14:01that's more than our entire album deal are you insane?
01:14:04and
01:14:05I want my name to be credited
01:14:09bad deal miss Reed
01:14:11and one last thing
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18that's ridiculous!
01:14:19why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean you don't have to
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:26and Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:28so what will it be?
01:14:36the clock is ticking
01:14:39I was wrong about you
01:14:40you saved Dexter's song

01:18:13to see you
01:18:14so
01:18:14people
01:18:15wait
01:18:45Ms. Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:13Dexter was going to be mine! I 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! 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?
01:20:28Listen, 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.
01:21:10Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:35It 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.
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.
01:21:58What 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.
01:22:23Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:28I think I have every right to be.
01:22:32Casey, I...
01:22:32Casey, I...
01:22:36I 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...
01:22:51I 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.
01:23:05Is 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?
01:23:48I 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, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:05When 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.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me...
01:24:31Reed 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.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:53You'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.
01:25:03I 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.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:26I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:37I love you, too.
01:25:50This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:52Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00Yes, ma'am.
01:26:02I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly
01:26:17the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22Yes, ma'am.
01:26:44Yes, ma'am.
01:26:47This goes on.
01:27:11The stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking, but all we do was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreating.
01:27:25Every time I look at the moonfall, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:33But soon you'll see that it's time for you and me, just the best so far, we're just a little.
01:27:54Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am, just a little.
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:12Yeah, yeah.
01:28:18Ticking and talking, but I will be walking.
01:28:23Yeah, yeah.
01:28:27The mirror in heaven, my heart is still beating.
01:28:32Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where we're together.
01:28:39I know.
01:28:51I know.
