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.
00:02:52We 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
00:07:41Have fun
00:07:44Wait
00:07:49Ooh
00:07:50Every time i look out
00:07:51Remember the time i saw you
00:07:58Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you, I
00:08:09One thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye
00:08:15The secret feeling again, I know I was waiting at time
00:08:28I was waiting for you, I was waiting for you, I was waiting for you
00:08:58How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:28He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:36I loved her, and 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!
00:09:59Oh my god!
00:10:02Dexie!
00:10:03Yes!
00:10:04Tonight 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, but she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:22It was all a lie
00:10:26Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:35Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:10:59But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:10I gave you everything!
00:11:12I loved you, do you love her?
00:11:16I owe her
00:11:18I owe her
00:11:19Oh
00:11:20Okay?
00:11:21I owe her, alright?
00:11:22I 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?
00:11:35So that's why
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:46You 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
00:12:15A music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans
00:12:20To boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty
00:12:33Just
00:12:34Your music
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hm?
00:12:41This
00:12:42Is my notebook
00:12:44Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:46For Dexter's first triple 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
00:12:57Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:59Give it back!
00:13:00Dexter she cut me
00:13:02See what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexie, baby
00:13:08I know
00:13:10All about girls like her
00:13:12They want fame and money
00:13:13Without really ever having to work for it
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:19Dexter, 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?
00:13:31Go wait in the car, please
00:13:32Please
00:13:38But Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:46So, please just
00:13:48Just tell me the truth
00:13:49Okay, right now
00:13:51Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:55Please
00:13:57Please
00:13:59Please
00:14:08The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway
00:14:17We're over
00:14:19Dex
00:14:22Goodbye
00:14:23Forever
00:14:24Forever
00:14:44The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:47Off the market
00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer
00:14:51Scarlet Hart tonight
00:14:52And she said yes
00:14:59Dad
00:15:01I gave Dex everything
00:15:03I made his career
00:15:05But
00:15:06He doesn't want me
00:15:08He never did
00:15:09What happened princess?
00:15:11Scarlet Hart
00:15:12She stole him
00:15:13And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:16I'll come get you
00:15:21Casey
00:15:22Casey, where are you?
00:15:23Who are you?
00:15:33Looks 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
00:15:44Don'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
00:15:50We'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 soul mate
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
00:16:12The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:15Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:17Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:22Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:27Dressing room
00:16:28Come alone
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:31And we'll spare them
00:16:33Choose your little assistant
00:16:35And 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
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:02Obviously not
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:08You fucked him too?
00:17:10God!
00:17:12Our precious Dexter
00:17:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:19You don't deserve to live
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:24So if Casey dies
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
00:17:34You're psychotic!
00:17:35No, don't worry Casey
00:17:37If you die today Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:40And maybe it'll even be the least single on our new album
00:17:43You're crazier than they are
00:17:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:47You're crazy!
00:17:52Casey!
00:17:53Dex!
00:17:59Dex!
00:18:01Dex! Dex! Dex!
00:18:03Dexter! Dexter help me!
00:18:05They hit me and then they tied me up
00:18:08And 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 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, you'll put the gun down
00:18:25And then let these two go, please
00:18:27No, that's not how this works
00:18:29Dexie!
00:18:31You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:33We're engaged now, you can't let me die
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had
00:18:39All 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 have to break her heart
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:06Dexter 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
00:19:23Go ahead, make your choice
00:19:25Choose now or they both die
00:19:27Dexter, Dexter, please
00:19:29Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:31You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me
00:19:34That's enough, we're pulling the trigger in three
00:19:38Two
00:19:40One
00:19:41Okay, 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
00:19:54I was so scared
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice, cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:01Now wait a minute, you told me that
00:20:03You 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
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no
00:20:19I guess this is the end
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:27Dexter
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:46Let's go, let's go
00:20:47Go, go, go
00:20:48Okay, okay
00:20:49Okay
00:20:50Alright
00:20:56It's gonna be okay
00:20:57Okay?
00:20:58You left me to die
00:21:00And for the record, I never needed your money
00:21:03I was right to walk away
00:21:06Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:09Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright? They were gonna make me
00:21:12I'm done living in your shadow, Dex
00:21:17Goodbye
00:21:23Casey, Casey, hey
00:21:33Casey, stop, please, stop, please, please
00:21:36We're gonna go, okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:45You're delusional
00:21:47He doesn't need you, he has Echo
00:21:49Yeah, sure he does
00:21:52Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:15You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:18No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to
00:22:20Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:36Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:49So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:22:53You're here now, take me home
00:22:57Take me home
00:23:28Casey!
00:23:31Casey!
00:23:33Casey!
00:23:35Let me explain!
00:23:39Scarlet
00:23:40Mrs. Hayes
00:23:42You should have seen it, I almost died
00:23:44And 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
00:23:59Dexter, she never cared about you
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time, all she ever cared about was money and power
00:24:06I thought Casey loved me
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records
00:24:12No
00:24:18Forget him princess, hmm?
00:24:21You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands
00:24:25How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:24:33Announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records
00:24:37And my daughter, the heiress to my empire
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are
00:24:42It's time to show the world who you really are
00:24:52My back is pressed
00:25:00My back is pressed
00:25:02No nooo
00:25:09Okay, guys, cut the track
00:25:15The damn thing is in the wrong key
00:25:17Look guys, we have one week
00:25:20Alright, to finish this song before the release
00:25:22The Echo that I know, can put together a perfect studio mix in hours
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat?
00:25:30Or a key?
00:25:32What's going on?
00:25:34Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask
00:25:36Are you really, Echo?
00:25:42Are you really, Echo?
00:25:44Echo?
00:25:45Dexy
00:25:48Of course I am
00:25:50It's just
00:25:52Your 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
00:25:59I mean, look
00:26:01Last Saved by Max
00:26:04Yeah, that's because you don't know how to
00:26:06Okay, you know what?
00:26:07Echo would never put her name on garbage like this
00:26:10Mr. Hayes, please, listen
00:26:13It's...
00:26:14It's Dexter
00:26:15And I'm sorry, but
00:26:17My last assistant would've never
00:26:18Screamed me over like that
00:26:20You're fired
00:26:28See it again
00:26:39Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:26:46Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here
00:27:03We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
00:27:10Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on
00:27:13So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:32Look 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
00:27:58From Mr. Ed Reed himself
00:28:00Okay, look
00:28:03I know what you're thinking
00:28:06But Casey probably meant nothing to him
00:28:09He'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 a few extra bucks
00:28:16You have to go and you have to impress him, okay? He could make or break our careers
00:28:21Okay, I guess you're right
00:28:23Of course I am
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple
00:28:30So 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...
00:28:40Coarse...
00:28:41Tangled hair
00:28:43Her...
00:28:44Dull...
00:28:45Crusty skin
00:28:47Or...
00:28:48Maybe those...
00:28:49Hideous...
00:28:50God-awful clothes
00:28:52I'm Echo
00:28:54I'm the Reed heiress
00:28:56And I'm taking back everything that's mine
00:28:58That's mine
00:29:01Scarlet, open the door
00:29:03Show me smaller
00:29:05Come on, that's here
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:12We're honored
00:29:13And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade
00:29:18Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:26The heiress to the Reed merchant
00:29:28Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know, who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:35I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album
00:29:42Look! Here she is now!
00:29:52No fucking way!
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:23Casey?
00:30:26Hey Dex
00:30:28Long time no see
00:30:32Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:35I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:38So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:52Ignore 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
00:31:05All 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!
00:31:16I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is for the elite, with the music industry only. I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:21But the party's just getting started, I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:22I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:23Why?
00:31:24Why?
00:31:25So you can seduce them?
00:31:26Why?
00:31:27Why?
00:31:28Why?
00:31:29Why?
00:31:30Why?
00:31:31Why?
00:31:32Why?
00:31:33Why?
00:31:34So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:35I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:31:36And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:31:37Why?
00:31:38Why?
00:31:39Why?
00:31:40Why?
00:31:41Why?
00:31:42Why?
00:31:43Why?
00:31:44Why?
00:31:45Why?
00:31:46Why?
00:31:47Why?
00:31:48Why?
00:31:49Why?
00:31:50Why?
00:31:51Why?
00:31:52Why?
00:31:53Why?
00:31:54Why?
00:31:55Why?
00:31:56Why?
00:31:57Why?
00:31:58Why?
00:31:59Why?
00:32:00Why?
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02Why?
00:32:03Why?
00:32:04Why?
00:32:05Why?
00:32:06Why?
00:32:07Why?
00:32:08Why?
00:32:09Why?
00:32:10Why?
00:32:11Why?
00:32:12Why?
00:32:13Why?
00:32:14Why?
00:32:15Why?
00:32:16Why?
00:32:17Why?
00:32:18Why?
00:32:19Why?
00:32:20Why?
00:32:21Why?
00:32:22Why?
00:32:23Why?
00:32:24Why?
00:32:25Why?
00:32:26Why?
00:32:27Why?
00:32:28Why?
00:32:29Why?
00:32:30Why?
00:32:31Why?
00:32:32Why?
00:32:33Desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm. They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm. Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:32:59Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:08Careful.
00:33:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:12You 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.
00:33:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed.
00:33:38Hi. 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 incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:52Oh, Dexter Hayes. Of course I can.
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.
00:34:23And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with 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.
00:34:40Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, 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.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm going to stay.
00:35:35You 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.
00:35:46Unless 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.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:03Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Oh, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey.
00:36:15Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:21it'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.
00:36:42Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:46Because 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 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.
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:32No.
00:37:36That'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.
00:38:13For 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 your 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.
00:38:29I 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?
00:38:58Suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:09I just...
00:39:10I just...
00:39:22I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:36Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:52You're leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:06You'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.
00:40:15You have to believe me, please.
00:40:17I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:27Tank my career?
00:40:28Oh, Tank your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you.
00:40:37Dexter, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:43This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad, threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:03No, no, no, no, no.
00:41:05Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:11Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:17And Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:25Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh 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?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:49I don't care about that.
00:41:50I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't you bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:01She can produce his songs.
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.
00:42:21I've known you for years.
00:42:44I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:48All of those years are broken there at play.
00:43:01Made a twine, lost in my life.
00:43:06I'm still missing you.
00:43:36I 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.
00:44:19I'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.
00:44:36I 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 to.
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten.
00:44:51What we had.
00:44:52I'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.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day.
00:45:27Until you finally admit
00:45:30that you still love me.
00:45:57You'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 a hundred million streams.
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Haye-sized 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, of 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 to be angry with me
00:46:45after what I did.
00:46:46I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:54Perfect timing.
00:47:01Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:08I've made an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means.
00:47:15But you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well, hired to be blown away.
00:47:26Actually, I 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, you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:36But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39to this potential partnership?
00:47:52Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka.
00:48:06But you know what I...
00:48:10actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:16Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:20My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:33You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34and demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you,
00:48:47no matter how talented you are.
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I can't read records.
00:48:54Or myself.
00:48:57Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:00The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:01to see my new mistress.
00:49:02They'll plaster our photos
00:49:03all over the tabloids.
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:08How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:09Your poor father.
00:49:12He's going to have no choice
00:49:13but to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:16You're delusional.
00:49:18Stay away from me.
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:22Hey!
00:49:24Break your fucking hands off.
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:28Dexter Hayes.
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 a leg to stand on.
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:52Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:57You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03The name is Casey Wee.
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry
00:50:08that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:12Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:15Let's go.
00:50:25Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:29Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:39My business is none of your concern.
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:44what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you.
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48Okay, I know.
00:50:51Newsflash.
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:50:55So, it's not your concern
00:50:56where I am
00:50:57or what I'm doing, okay?
00:50:59So stop
00:51:00following me.
00:51:06The 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.
00:51:15and when I've made up
00:51:17for all the danger
00:51:18I put her in.
00:51:21You're way
00:51:22too interested
00:51:25in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:28Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:37want
00:51:39to marry
00:51:39Scarlet.
00:51:42You don't fucking let me.
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me
00:51:45off.
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So
00:51:57what 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?
00:52:10I should push him away
00:52:11but
00:52:12I can't deny
00:52:13how much I miss his touch.
00:52:14you were never
00:52:15the side piece
00:52:16and 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.
00:52:34please
00:52:37stop following me
00:52:39or else
00:52:42it's going to get harder
00:52:43and harder
00:52:44to walk away.
00:52:45great timing
00:52:55as always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58I've done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:53:01and drug abuse
00:53:02have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label,
00:53:04studio,
00:53:05brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted
00:53:07to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rice
00:53:10his 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 that was way
00:53:22too risky, Casey.
00:53:24Look,
00:53:24I'm far from Dexter's
00:53:25biggest 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
00:53:35are out for everyone
00:53:36to see.
00:53:37He's been,
00:53:37what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled.
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought
00:53:48the rights
00:53:49to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing
00:53:51anything anywhere
00:53:52or get sued
00:53:53to hell and back.
00:53:55Dex took down
00:53:55Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For 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.
00:54:06The 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 twice
00:54:35let alone marry 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.
00:54:43I 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
00:54:56every 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
00:55:03or 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.
00:55:21Ha ha,
00:55:22with 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.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged?
00:55:57Yes.
00:55:58My future daughter-in-law
00:55:59is performing
00:56:00at the Universal Music
00:56:01Awards tomorrow
00:56:02and I'd like to 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.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift
00:56:16for her.
00:56:16A custom
00:56:17Fender Signature
00:56:18Stratocaster.
00:56:19Please don't touch that.
00:56:27Those instruments
00:56:28are only for
00:56:28our VIP clientele.
00:56:31Ugh.

00:56:42now.
00:56:47I'm the CEO.

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