Short filmTranscript
00:00:00My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:20No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:30I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:51Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Kaze, how you make me feel.
00:01:14You are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little moon.
00:01:28I want you, Dex.
00:01:31I need you.
00:01:35Good.
00:01:38Because you're already mine.
00:01:41I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:57Hey, Kaze, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:31His echo and his Kaze.
00:02:36You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:39I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:52I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:58And now, for the stars!
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:38Are you for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:07She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:15I've got a really special one for you all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:20Shit! The backing mix is corrupted. I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:37Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:39What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:52There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad! We've talked about this. In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:07But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:09You made him the star he is.
00:05:11I'm telling him tonight. But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:18Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:22When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:27Oh, my God. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:48Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:50Echo?

00:06:05God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:07Play that song!
00:06:08The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:12No, Dexter.
00:06:12Play that song!
00:06:13I'm the one you need.
00:06:15What?
00:06:25This is Echo's normal.

00:08:19the time
00:09:03How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:41I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:44Oh my god!
00:09:56Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my god!
00:10:07Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:11Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:15I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:20No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:26It was all a lie.
00:10:33All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:40Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:50You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:10Okay, Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:15I gave you everything.
00:11:18I loved you.
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her.
00:11:23Oh.
00:11:24Okay?
00:11:24I owe her, all right?
00:11:26I don't...
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:33What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:37She made me who I am today.
00:11:39Okay, so that's why.
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:44Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:52You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is.
00:11:59You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me, and I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:18Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:24To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me.
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty.
00:12:38Just your music.
00:12:40What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook.
00:12:49Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:54That's my notebook.
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:58I'm a musical genius.
00:13:00And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:03Give it back.
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:06Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't...
00:13:10I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:12Dexter, baby.
00:13:14I know all about girls like her.
00:13:17They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:23She has been for years.
00:13:25Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:31Okay, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:43Casey.
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:51So please just...
00:13:52Just tell me the truth.
00:13:54Okay, right now.
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever.
00:14:00Yes.
00:14:00Yes.
00:14:03Please.
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:16You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:22We're over.
00:14:25Dex.
00:14:28Goodbye.
00:14:29Forever.
00:14:29Forever.
00:14:33The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:54Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight, and she said yes.
00:14:59I gave Dex everything.
00:15:08I made his career, but he doesn't want me.
00:15:13He never did.
00:15:14What happened, princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart.
00:15:17She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:21I'll come get you.
00:15:27Casey.
00:15:28Casey, where are you?
00:15:39Looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:45Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go.
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:51We won't hurt you.
00:15:52We're your friends, too.
00:15:54We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:58We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:05We're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:11We were in love.
00:16:13Or I thought we were.
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:18The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:20is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:33Threathing room.
00:16:34Come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Hart, and we'll spare them.
00:16:38Choose your little assistant, and they both die.
00:16:43You've reached Casey.
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert.
00:16:54Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:57Dexter is coming.
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is.
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:03Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him too?
00:17:17God.
00:17:18Our precious Dexter.
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:26You don't deserve to live.
00:17:27No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:31So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true.
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:41You're psychotic.
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you,
00:17:47and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:50You're crazier than they are.
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey.
00:17:59Dexter.
00:18:06Dexter.
00:18:07Casey.
00:18:08Dexter, Dexter.
00:18:10Dexter, Dexter, help me.
00:18:12They hit me, and then they tied me up,
00:18:14and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:31all right, you'll put the gun down,
00:18:32and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works.
00:18:36Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now.
00:18:42You can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:46all the memories, all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:49do they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I don't choose Scarlet,
00:19:05then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:08I have to break her heart.
00:19:09Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:23And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:30go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:39You dumped her, you chose me,
00:19:41don't let them murder me.
00:19:43That's him out.
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:46two,
00:19:48one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right?
00:19:55I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice.
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute.
00:20:10You told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate,
00:20:17and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:27I guess this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:40Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun.
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:55Let's go!
00:20:55Let's go!
00:20:56Okay, okay.
00:20:56Okay.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:04It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die!
00:21:08And for the record,
00:21:09I never needed your money.
00:21:11I was right to walk away.
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:16Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:31Casey, Casey.
00:21:32Hey.
00:21:40Casey.
00:21:42Casey, stop.
00:21:43Please, stop.
00:21:43Please, please.
00:21:44We're gonna go...
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:48You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:54You're delusional.
00:21:55He doesn't need you.
00:21:56He has Echo.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Sure he does.
00:22:01Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:08Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:17I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:26No.
00:22:27Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:29Oh my god.
00:22:54That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:59I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:06Take me home.
00:23:07I was trying to...
00:23:24I was trying to...
00:23:25I was trying to...
00:23:28I was trying to...
00:23:29Take the head.
00:23:30If he was...
00:23:31I was trying to...
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:46Scarlet.
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:50You should have seen it.
00:23:52I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first, and when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me, but the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, princess.
00:24:28You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records, and my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:52My back is pressed.
00:25:08My back is pressed.
00:25:12Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:21The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:32The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:46Are you really Echo?
00:25:48Are you really Echo?
00:25:54Dexy, of course I am.
00:26:00It's just your new assistant.
00:26:03He's been messing.
00:26:04He's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look, last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:22It's Dexter.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:30You're fired.
00:26:30Let's do it again.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:57Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:00We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:22So why can't I do the same?
00:27:30Look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:09Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:44I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:48Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:52Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:02I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:08How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look, here she is now!
00:30:04No fucking way!
00:30:08Casey?
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:36Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her, but instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:30Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:47but this party is for the elite, with the music industry only.
00:31:51I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:54But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:57Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records, too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:54Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm. They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm. Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:05Is it really me who's putting on an act, or...?
00:33:09Hmm. Is it you?
00:33:12How dare you?
00:33:17Careful.
00:33:19The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:32But me? I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me, or my career, ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking hard, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:44Mr. Reed, hi. Dexter Hayes. Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:04Oh, 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.
00:34:15Well, 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.
00:34:21I 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.
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:32And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:38Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself? The new CEO is already here.
00:34:49Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey.
00:35:05Uh, I've, I've, 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.
00:35:16I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:25Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only.
00:35:36Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:36:00Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:25Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:43But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs
00:36:53and never put her name on one of them because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:37:03Dexter Hayes, it's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:10He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:12All right, this is it.
00:37:13He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:15I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire and the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess and the light of my life.

00:43:38I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got another truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:32Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:38Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:51I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:59I just want you.
00:45:00I know that you want me to.
00:45:02I don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:45:07I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:14You're a lot like an instrument, but you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:25I don't care about the fans.
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:31If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:36We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit...
00:45:47And you still love me.
00:45:50You're right.
00:46:13I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me.
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:31Hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months.
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:35A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey!
00:46:58Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:05Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:24I've been an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means.
00:47:30But you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Well, I heard to be blown away.
00:47:42Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:51But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:47:57Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:18But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:36My hair.
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:42Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:52Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:56And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:49:04I want me to be able to sign me, not when I get read records, or myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:24How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have no choice but to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:33You're delusional.
00:49:34So stay away from me.
00:49:36You're fine.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:40Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'm going to break your fucking hands.
00:49:45Mr. Hayes.
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine.
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that.
00:49:57I'd love to see you twice, sweetheart.
00:49:59You're just a wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:04Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:17The name is K.C.
00:50:22And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:28Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:30I'm not sure of that.
00:50:33Let's go.
00:50:33Give me your hand.
00:50:45Give me your hand.
00:50:45K.C.
00:50:53Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:55Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:56My business is none of your concern.
00:50:59If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.
00:51:04Yes!
00:51:05You could have done it.
00:51:05Okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:07Newsflash!
00:51:08I'm not your assistant anymore!
00:51:11So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:51:15So stop following me.
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:26Stop following you the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:31And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:38You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:51I've been trying to tell you for weeks I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking listen.
00:51:59Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:52:03Isn't that the point?
00:52:13So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:24I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:31You were never the side piece.
00:52:34And you know it.
00:52:45Boss!
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:47Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:53Please, stop following me.
00:52:58Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:53:01Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15I've done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:20No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rice food's music.
00:53:27I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:46I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:50All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Canceled.
00:53:56Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14Or me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:21The world famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night.
00:54:33Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:54:58I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:55:09You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world.
00:55:21Or Dexter.
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:26He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:38Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:51You're the best, Dad.
00:55:56Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:13Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow, and
00:56:20I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:32I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:37Please don't touch that.
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Yeah, it's you.
00:56:50Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:55Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:59I have to ask you to leave now.
00:57:00I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:57:12Because of your nepo-baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:20Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:27Yeah, you're right.
00:57:31In that case, you should have this.
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar.
00:58:03Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:06Hold on just one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my God.
00:58:11I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:14You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:19Just kidding.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:23Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:40Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used this on her last album.
00:58:47This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:55Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:59:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:19but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:31That's enough.
00:59:39Hi, Dexy.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just insulted your fiancé.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:50Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:53about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:54Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do is show her a little respect.
01:00:05You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs,
01:00:26and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:28Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store,
01:00:32how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:36What?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:48You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:55But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:01:01Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:04She's not even a real musician,
01:01:06and you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have it for free,
01:01:15as long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:21Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:25And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:28I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:45One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed,
01:01:51and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:54Two,
01:01:55my birthday was months ago.
01:01:57Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:59so your gift means nothing.
01:02:04Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11Secret?
01:02:11What are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:13What secret?
01:02:13Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:30Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:42Yeah?
01:02:43I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:47Yes, sir?
01:02:47Oh, one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:58But, Dexter, you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:01Mr. Hayes.
01:03:15Miss Hart.
01:03:16You're on in five.
01:03:17The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:19Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:25It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:27The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:30I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:36Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet.
01:04:05You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:04:13when you yourself have none.
01:04:15Mmm.
01:04:16I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:20Oh.
01:04:21Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:24Wreck-a-leg, Scarlet.
01:04:26Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35The playback's down.
01:04:57The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:58You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:16Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:18We're gonna burn the broadcast, and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:21What are we gonna do?
01:05:22I have an idea.
01:05:25You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes.
01:05:39It's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo.
01:05:42The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:51Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:54Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:06:05This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:15And that's how it's done.
01:06:36Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:39Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:43Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:47And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:52Damn, I guess you're going to have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her.
01:07:07She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:07:13If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real.
01:07:21Okay, you're...
01:07:22You're Echo.
01:07:23Okay, so just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:30Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Breed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:55But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:57Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:08:02Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think your fiancée is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:26Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:21Come on, Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage! You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:31Alright, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:42Yeah. That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:54that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:57And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:01as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter!
01:10:07Stop it with those awful jokes!
01:10:09Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:10:12Mom!
01:10:13You heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving the song.
01:10:17Now it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:32Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:37No! No!
01:10:38There's no...
01:10:39There's no other...
01:10:40Move!
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:47What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down
01:11:02as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track,
01:11:06what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't?
01:11:12Will you step down as Reed Records' CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records' CEO
01:11:24dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties
01:11:28with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:33Dexter, sing me the first line of your song,
01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now?
01:11:38I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:52This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:55Lights are low, but I still glow.
01:12:00This morning's got a sting.
01:12:04Good.
01:12:08Now let's make a hit.
01:12:16Let's fucking go!
01:12:18Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:35I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:39So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have butt.
01:12:43You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:48Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:58I'm not the kind for a show.
01:13:03This is not a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:08Stop it!
01:13:09Stop it!
01:13:11Stop it!
01:13:12Stop it!
01:13:13Stop it!
01:13:14Stop it!
01:13:15Stop it!
01:13:16Stop it!
01:13:17You're Echo.
01:13:22Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song!
01:13:28She just ripped it off!
01:13:30Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:32Don't listen to her!
01:13:35I'm Echo!
01:13:38I didn't even make that version.
01:13:40I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:43Go fix this.
01:13:47Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:54She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:56No, that was me.
01:13:57I already did all the work.
01:13:58She's just taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:14:03So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:14:13I think you might just be surprised.
01:14:17Two hundred million.
01:14:18Two hundred million?
01:14:20For one song?
01:14:22That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:25And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:29Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous.
01:14:40Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlet could finish the album.
01:14:47And Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:49So, what will it be?
01:14:57The clock is ticking.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:02You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:03I'm sorry.
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:12Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlet?
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:23I'm not Echo!
01:15:24I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:27They are happy!
01:15:31They are happy!
01:15:34Wait, that's not what I really meant!
01:15:37Dexter, she manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiancé!
01:15:41You believe-
01:15:42Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:45You're fucking brought in.
01:15:45You're a damn liar!
01:15:46Cassie is the one who built my career.
01:15:51Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:15:54She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement is off.
01:16:02And so is the record.
01:16:02Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract.
01:16:29And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:32Two years old.
01:16:32You got yourself a DL case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:55If we're not here for long,
01:16:58tell me where were we?
01:17:02Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:04My back is fast against the wall.
01:17:10I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:16Your name's on fire in my wings.
01:17:22It's burning for my dreams.
01:17:23Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:28Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:29Who am I to lie?
01:17:31Who am I to lie?
01:17:39This mirror shows a thousand phases.
01:17:41Jesus,
01:17:41You're standing for me!
01:17:41Jesus,
01:17:42And that old things can't go.
01:17:44I have bigré petit нееur.
01:17:46How dare you?
01:17:48Oh my god...
01:17:50Do not you ever
01:18:34Ms. Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:57You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:04Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:27Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my God!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:53Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:11Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:34Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:42Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:44The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:04Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:30If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:38But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:49What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:55If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:20I think I have every right to be.
01:22:22Casey, I...
01:22:27I miss you.
01:22:33I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:46And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:55We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:56Listen.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:11Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:13Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:14That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:32I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:46And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:48And I...
01:23:49But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:56When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:00I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:05Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:18Which reminds me...
01:24:20Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:30The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:39You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:43You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08You do it together.
01:25:13I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:25I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:28This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:25:51Yes, ma'am.
01:25:53I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:06But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:13I love you too.
01:26:35Just give it to you.
01:26:37Just give it to you.
01:26:38Every time I remember to smile, I imagine to work way together.
01:26:47This goes on
01:27:02There's stuff in the stockings
01:27:05But I am still walking
01:27:07For all the truth
01:27:11Was the fool who I hated
01:27:14Now I'm recreated
01:27:16Every time I look at the moon's fall
01:27:21I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:24Soon you'll see
01:27:30That it's time for you and me
01:27:35It's the best of your heart
01:27:39We've had to let off
01:27:42Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:49I forget where I am
01:27:52Just let off
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:57I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:02Yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:09I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:11I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:12I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:14Oh, oh, oh
01:28:18A mirror in heaven
01:28:20My heart and twoピight
01:28:23Every time I remember to smile
01:28:26I imagine a world wherein' together
