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 wife.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:16And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter
00:03:31Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:37Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long
00:03:46as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:48A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart.
00:04:01Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:14Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit!
00:04:25The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:28I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:30Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:35I need your help.
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:48I'll be right back.
00:04:49There.
00:04:50Your gear from the studio.
00:04:51Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:52Dad!
00:04:53We've talked about this.
00:04:54In public, I am not your daughter and I'm not Echo.
00:04:55But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:04:56You made him the star he is.
00:04:57I'm telling him tonight.
00:04:58But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:04Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:05Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:07When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:22Oh my god.
00:05:23These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:37Is Casey Echo?
00:05:38Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:39Play that song!
00:05:40Play that song!
00:05:41Play that song!
00:05:42Where's Casey?
00:05:43She said she'd stay right here.
00:05:44The show is a disaster.
00:05:45The fans are waiting.
00:05:46Can you please find her?
00:05:47I need her.
00:05:48No, Dexter.
00:05:49I'm the one you need to find her.
00:05:50I need her.
00:05:51I need her.
00:05:52No, Dexter.
00:05:53I'm the one you need to find her.
00:05:54I need her.
00:05:55I need her.
00:05:56No, Dexter.
00:05:57I'm the one you need to find her.
00:05:58Oh my god.
00:05:59I need her.
00:06:00Oh my god.
00:06:01I need her.
00:06:02I need her.
00:06:03Oh my god.
00:06:04These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:06:05Is Casey echo?
00:06:06Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:07Play that song!
00:06:08Play that song!
00:06:09I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:27Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:07Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:27Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36The next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:42Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you.
00:08:08One thing to remember by
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:15The secret feeling again
00:08:17I know I was waiting at time
00:08:38I was waiting at time
00:09:08How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:34To announce our relationship
00:09:36I loved her
00:09:38And she betrayed me
00:09:40Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:09:58Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:18But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:22It was all a lie
00:10:26All right, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:35Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45You promised me
00:10:56That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead, you proposed and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:09I gave you everything
00:11:12I loved you
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:16Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her
00:11:18Oh
00:11:19Okay, I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:21All right, I don't
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career
00:11:32She made me who I am today
00:11:34Okay, so-so-so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:41You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:00How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:06You know, I don't even know who you are
00:12:11Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:27Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty
00:12:32Just
00:12:33Your music
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This
00:12:41Is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:46For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:48That's my notebook
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius
00:12:54And you're just
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:58Give it back
00:12:59No, Dexter, she cut me
00:13:01See, what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't
00:13:04I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexy, baby
00:13:08I know
00:13:09All about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money
00:13:13Without really ever having to work for it
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you
00:13:16She has been for years
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car
00:13:32Please
00:13:32Casey
00:13:38Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:45So please just
00:13:47Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:51Please
00:13:55Please
00:13:59The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway

00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18Forget him, Princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:32announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:50My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:06No, no!
00:25:08Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:11The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:16Look, guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:22The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:27You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:30What's going on?
00:25:32Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:35Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:44Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant.
00:25:52He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screamed me over like that.
00:26:19You're fired.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:27Let's do it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:12So why can't I do the same?
00:27:33Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:40Look.
00:27:48I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:51Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:02Look.
00:28:04I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:16You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:23Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:34I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse, tangled hair or her dull, crusty skin or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:50I'm Echo, I'm the Reed heiress, and I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:28:58How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:16Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:27Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know, who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:37Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:39She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:41Look, here she is now!
00:29:46No fucking way!
00:30:16Case?
00:30:17Casey?
00:30:24Hey, Dex.
00:30:26Long time no see.
00:30:30Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:33I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:36So why does my heart still ache?
00:30:39so my heart still aches.
00:30:56Ignore her.
00:30:57But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed
00:30:59so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side
00:31:06and 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
00:31:13if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:31Scarlett, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here
00:31:36hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:37but this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:48Why?
00:31:52So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed,
00:31:59so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:03Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:16How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:19You can dress up all you want.
00:32:24But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:29I thought she was someone important.
00:32:31She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:34Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:41Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:50Hmm.
00:32:51Is that so?
00:32:53Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:55Is it really me?
00:32:57Who'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.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections
00:33:19besides 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,
00:33:29I will get you canceled so fucking hard,
00:33:32your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reid.
00:33:37Uh, hi.
00:33:38Uh, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:41Um, you've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:44Well, I would really love to put that, um,
00:33:47well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:51Uh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:53Got you.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face.
00:33:58When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter.
00:34:02Yeah, the heiress to the Reid record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh,
00:34:08the record that Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing,
00:34:15and, you know, your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:18I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much,
00:34:26it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the,
00:34:30the new CEO, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:40Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:34:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days,
00:35:02and, 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,
00:35:10for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me,
00:35:14I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:19What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:29Yeah, dang, I guess I left my invite at home,
00:35:33but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though,
00:35:37has been throwing around nothing but
00:35:39vile slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:45Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones who can remove me
00:35:53are 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?
00:36:05Aw, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:14Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:20it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:33But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:41Who 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.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:36:59He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:01Alright, this is it.
00:37:03He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:05I want to introduce
00:37:07the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:10The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:13My princess
00:37:15and the light of my life.
00:37:18My daughter.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:26What?
00:37:32No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:49That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:00She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:05Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her base?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:11Mr. Reed.
00:38:12Your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:14Ah.
00:38:15That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:18Dad.
00:38:19This is too much.
00:38:21Well something from your old man.
00:38:22And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:25This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me,
00:38:34but 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.
00:38:40This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth and instead of trusting her,
00:38:47I left her for another woman.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:58Suits you?
00:39:00The guitar and the CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I just...
00:39:14I thought you'd stay the same
00:39:18all of those years
00:39:20I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company
00:39:40has got to hurt, but 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?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand,
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
00:40:10after 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.
00:40:16I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:21Just 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...
00:40:36Loved you, Dexter.
00:40:38You might have found out who my father is today,
00:40:40but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:47This...
00:40:48This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why...
00:40:52You left...
00:40:53Me...
00:40:54For dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:58Threw me to the curb...
00:41:00For the fame.
00:41:01The fortune.
00:41:02The fans.
00:41:03No, no, please.
00:41:04No, no, no.
00:41:05Actually, I think...
00:41:06It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:11Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:13I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:17Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes
00:41:22and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
00:41:32You 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
00:41:44that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey.
00:41:47None 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 bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:53She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby
00:41:57with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00She can produce...
00:42:01Wait, wait.
00:42:02Casey!
00:42:03She can get you to the top of the charts with or without
00:42:05Reed Records.
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:12Stop.
00:42:13You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:16I'm done talking about this.
00:42:18I've known you for years.
00:42:19I thought you'd stay safe.
00:42:20I've known you for years.
00:42:21I thought you'd stay safe.
00:42:22All of those years.
00:42:23I thought you'd stay safe.
00:42:24All of those years.
00:42:25I've known you for years.
00:42:26I thought you'd stay safe.
00:42:27All of those years.
00:42:32I've known you for years.
00:42:33I've known you for years.
00:42:34I thought you'd stay safe.
00:42:35All of those years.
00:42:45I've known you for years.
00:42:51Here's a broken there in place.
00:43:01In a twine, lost in time.
00:43:06I'm still missing you.
00:43:11I'm still, and I'm still, I'm still missing you.
00:43:21I'm still missing you.
00:43:29In a twine, heart and mind, I'm still missing you.
00:43:43I 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.
00:44:07Fine.
00:44:09Let's not talk.
00:44:10What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:30I'm your former boss now.
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:39I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:44I just want you.
00:44:45And I know that you want me too.
00:44:48I don't act like you've forgotten what 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,
00:45:18We'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day.
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:30that you
00:45:32still
00:45:33love me.
00:45:48You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument.
00:46:00The way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did,
00:46:03why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:16Hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months.
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over
00:46:23a hundred million strings.
00:46:25I mean,
00:46:25we have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:27size hole to fill
00:46:27and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:29It's not safe.
00:46:30Casey, you don't need him.
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you,
00:46:35of all people,
00:46:36get to tell me what I need.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey, Casey.
00:46:42Daisy has every right
00:46:44to be angry with me
00:46:45after what I did.
00:46:46I have to prove
00:46:46if she can trust me again.
00:46:59Perfect timing.
00:47:01Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me
00:47:03on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05women who speak too much.
00:47:08I've been an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:11in the third person?
00:47:11I don't know what that means,
00:47:14but you want to hear
00:47:17one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:20I'm very excited
00:47:21about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well,
00:47:24I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:26Actually,
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:29if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there
00:47:31faking their music with AI,
00:47:33you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:34But
00:47:36you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39to this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka.
00:48:06Hmm.
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:10actually
00:48:12love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18asshole pervs.
00:48:20My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think
00:48:24you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you
00:48:26to read records?
00:48:28Now you know
00:48:29who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:33You thought you could
00:48:33just walk in here
00:48:34and demand a live performance
00:48:35from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look
00:48:38like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure
00:48:45no label will ever
00:48:46sign you
00:48:47no matter how talented
00:48:48you are.
00:48:50I want me to label
00:48:51to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I can't
00:48:53read records
00:48:53for myself.
00:48:57I'll be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping
00:48:59you get ready.
00:49:00The paparazzi
00:49:00will be here any minute
00:49:01to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03all over the tabloids.
00:49:06Everyone will see
00:49:06what a slut you are.
00:49:08How you slept
00:49:08your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13but to hand you
00:49:15and your company
00:49:15over to me.
00:49:16You're delusional.
00:49:18Stay away from me.
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21that.
00:49:22Hey!
00:49:24Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:25What?
00:49:26I'll break your
00:49:27fucking hands!
00:49:29Dexter Hayes!
00:49:30Huh?
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine.
00:49:37What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:39I could sue you for that.
00:49:41I'd love to see you try,
00:49:42sweetheart.
00:49:43You're just a
00:49:43wash-up addict.
00:49:44And you do not have
00:49:45a leg to stand on.
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:47Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:53Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced
00:49:55a sick-ass record together.
00:49:57You kind of wanted
00:49:57to defend this
00:49:58used-up slut.

00:52:33today,
00:52:34Dexter.
00:52:36Please
00:52:37stop following me.
00:52:41Or else
00:52:42it's gonna get
00:52:43harder and harder
00:52:44to walk away.
00:52:46great timing.
00:52:56As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's
00:53:00fraudulence
00:53:01and drug abuse
00:53:02have been leaked
00:53:02to the press.
00:53:03No label,
00:53:04studio,
00:53:05brand will go
00:53:05anywhere near.
00:53:06His net worth
00:53:07plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rice
00:53:10to his music.
00:53:10I'm gonna give that
00:53:13to Casey
00:53:13as a gift.
00:53:19I heard
00:53:20what happened
00:53:21with Sasha.
00:53:22Now that was
00:53:22way too risky,
00:53:23Casey.
00:53:24Look,
00:53:24I'm far from
00:53:25Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:26but that could
00:53:26have gotten
00:53:27real ugly
00:53:27if he hadn't
00:53:28shown up.
00:53:29I could have
00:53:29handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also
00:53:31a huge leak
00:53:31in the press.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:34dirty laundry
00:53:35are out for
00:53:35everyone to see.
00:53:37He's been,
00:53:37what do you
00:53:38kids call it,
00:53:38canceled.
00:53:39Who took him
00:53:40down?
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
00:53:56Sasha 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.
00:54:09The world famous
00:54:10music producer
00:54:11Echo is set
00:54:12to finally reveal
00:54:13their identity
00:54:13at the legendary
00:54:14Universal Music Awards
00:54:15tomorrow night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting
00:54:18desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to
00:54:20convince the world
00:54:20she's Echo
00:54:21before it can
00:54:22expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep
00:54:24up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later
00:54:26Dexter will realize
00:54:27she can't even
00:54:27hold a tune.
00:54:29Much less produce
00:54:29a hit track.
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing
00:54:31if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter
00:54:34wouldn't look at her
00:54:35twice let alone
00:54:36marry her
00:54:37if she wasn't
00:54:38pretending to be
00:54:39a genius producer.
00:54:40I don't know how
00:54:40she thinks she's
00:54:41going to get away
00:54:41with it.
00:54:43I think it's time
00:54:45the world finds out
00:54:46who the real Echo
00:54:47is.
00:54:52You want to go
00:54:52to the UMAs
00:54:53as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me
00:54:55every year and I've
00:54:56always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam
00:54:59go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world
00:55:01finds out the truth
00:55:02about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world.
00:55:04Or Dexter.
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:12He made his bed
00:55:13when he proposed
00:55:13to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well my daughter
00:55:15deserves all the
00:55:16recognition of the world.
00:55:18But if you're
00:55:19going to go as Echo
00:55:19oh you're going
00:55:20to do it right.
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.
00:55:32you're the best dad.
00:55:49Mrs. Hayes!
00:55:50It's so good
00:55:51to see you again.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged.
00:55:56Yes.
00:55:57My future daughter-in-law
00:55:59is performing
00:56:00at the Universal Music Awards
00:56:02tomorrow
00:56:02and I'd like to gift her
00:56:04something to mark
00:56:05the occasion.
00:56:06So none of these

00:56:09She's a musical genius.
00:56:11We need something

00:56:12just like her.
00:56:13Of course.

00:57:57Yes.
00:57:57Of course

00:57:59Okay.

00:58:35Hey,
00:58:35hey,
00:58:36hey,
00:58:36hey,
00:58:37actually,
00:58:37actually,
00:58:38this
00:58:39guitar
00:58:39is no
00:58:40longer
00:58:40available.
00:58:41In fact,
00:58:42my entire
00:58:42collection
00:58:43is on
00:58:43hold
00:58:44for the
00:58:44new

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