Short filmTranscript
00:00:15My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or
00:00:22that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:26I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rockstar I
00:00:34secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter. We share the same music, but
00:00:43never the same spotlight.
00:00:46Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:58Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:03I am so done hiding you.
00:01:07I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel. You are my favorite song.
00:01:19I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:31Good.
00:01:32Good.
00:01:34And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:40I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:43And I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:45I'm gonna claim every inch of you.
00:01:48Note by note.
00:01:50In front of the whole world.
00:01:54I'm just kidding.
00:02:06I'm just kidding.
00:02:07Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:13Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:17Okay.
00:02:18It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:21Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:24And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:28His echo and his Casey.
00:02:32You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:47I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:08I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:17Come on!
00:03:18Come on!
00:03:19Come on!
00:03:19Come on!
00:03:20Come on!
00:03:21Come on!
00:03:22And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:34Wait for me, right here?
00:03:39Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:44he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:48A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:53Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:03:58Scarlet Heart.
00:04:00Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:03She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:05Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:10I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:13Hope you enjoy.
00:04:23Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:26I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:29Echo can fix this.
00:04:33Are you here?
00:04:34I need your help.
00:04:37What the hell is she up to?
00:04:42Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:47I'll be right back.
00:04:52There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:55Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:57Dad! We've talked about this.
00:04:59In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:02But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:05You made him the star he is.
00:05:09I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:10But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:13Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:17When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:40Oh my god. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs. Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:55Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:57Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:00God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:03The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:07No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:11What?
00:06:19This is Echo's novel.
00:06:23Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:30Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:33I already did.
00:06:37Wait.
00:06:39Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:44Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:52All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:56Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:06:59Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:05Thanks.
00:07:14Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:17Uh, and we're back.
00:07:19Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:24At least I thought so.
00:07:33Get ready, Dex, and next your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:43I'm a man of time.
00:07:47I'm a man of time.
00:07:49I'm a man of time.
00:07:50I'm a man of time.
00:08:01Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you, I had one thing to remember you by.
00:08:10The time I looked into your eye, a secret feeling again.
00:08:15I know when I was running out of time.
00:08:22I'm a man of time.
00:08:26I'm a man of time.
00:08:27I'm a man of time.
00:08:28I'm a man of time.
00:08:31I'm a man of time.
00:08:37I'm a man of time.
00:08:58I'm a man of time.
00:09:02I'm a man of time.
00:09:08You're right all.
00:09:09How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:16Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:30He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:35I loved her and she betrayed me.
00:09:49Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:52Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:55Yes!
00:09:57Oh my god! Dexie! Yes!
00:10:04Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:08I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:13No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:23It was all a lie.
00:10:27Alright, I can play along with his engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:41Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:53You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:03Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:05Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:08I gave you everything.
00:11:12I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:16I owe her, okay? I owe her, alright? I don't-
00:11:20You owe her?
00:11:23Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan. What has she ever done for you?
00:11:28Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay, so that's why.
00:11:35What are you talking about?
00:11:38Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:46You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:50Well, I know she is. You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done
00:11:56for me. And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:01How could you believe her lies?
00:12:03Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:07You know, I don't even know who you are anymore. Is this what you wanted all along? To be a
00:12:14music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:20He could have had that with me.
00:12:23This is all you ever really cared about. Isn't it?
00:12:29Not loyalty. Just your music.
00:12:34What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:39This is my notebook. Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first little platinum album.
00:12:47That's my notebook. How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:51I'm a musical genius.
00:12:53And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:57Give it back!
00:12:58Ow! Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:00See what has gotten into you? I don't... I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:05Dexie, baby. I know all about girls like her. They want fame and money without really ever having to work
00:13:12for it. She's taking advantage of you. She has been for years.
00:13:17Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this. Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:22No!
00:13:23Then tell me why I shouldn't. Okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:29Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:36But Casey...
00:13:41Look, I know that you've been hiding things. So, please just... just tell me the truth. Okay? Right now! Or
00:13:49we'll lose us forever.
00:13:53Please.
00:13:56Please.
00:14:06The truth doesn't matter anymore. You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:15We're over.
00:14:18Dex...
00:14:20Goodbye.
00:14:22Forever.
00:14:41The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:46Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer, Scarlet Heart tonight, and she said yes.
00:14:57Dad...
00:14:59I gave Dexter everything. I made his career, but...
00:15:04He doesn't want me. He never did.
00:15:07What happened, Princess?
00:15:09Scarlet Heart.
00:15:10Scarlet Heart. She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:14I'll come get you.
00:15:25I don't want to see her.
00:15:39I don't want to get her.
00:15:42I don't want her to leave.
00:15:45too. We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart. We're just trying to teach
00:15:51this filthy skink a lesson. We saw you kissing Dexter backstage. You're trying to steal him
00:15:59from his soulmate. I wasn't stealing him. We were in love. Or I thought we were. We'll
00:16:08see about that, won't we? The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save
00:16:15you. Where the hell is everybody? Dressing room. Come alone. Choose to save Scarlet Heart
00:16:29and we'll spare them. Choose your little assistant and they both die. You've reached Casey. I can't
00:16:37come to the phone right now. Where the hell is my daughter? Casey? So she never left
00:16:45concert. Get back to the concert hall now. Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love
00:16:53is. You psychos. Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance? Obviously not. She's just
00:17:03some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry. You fucked him too? God, our precious
00:17:11Dexter. Soiled by a dirty star fucker. Girls like you don't deserve him. You don't deserve
00:17:18to live. No one knows what the real Echo looks like. So if Casey dies, then the truth dies
00:17:26with her. That's not true. First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:32You're psychotic. No, don't worry Casey. If you die today, Dex and I will make a song
00:17:38about you and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album. You're crazier than they
00:17:44are. Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:50Casey. Dexter. Dexter. Dexter help me. They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're
00:18:06trying to kill me. Okay guys, let's, let's just put the guns down, okay? We, we can't
00:18:14do that Dexter. We're your biggest fans. We're doing this for you. Okay, well if you love
00:18:21me, all right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please. No, that's not
00:18:26how this works. Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo. We're engaged now, you can't
00:18:33let me die. Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told
00:18:40me, do they mean anything? You must choose one to live. Will it be your future wife or
00:18:49your mistress? Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes? They said if I don't
00:18:55choose Scarlet, then they both die. I can save Casey, but I, I have to break her heart.
00:19:01Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:10You never really loved me, did you? And you loved him? You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:19If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice. Choose now or they both die.
00:19:25Dexter, Dexter, please. Think of everything I've done for you. You dumped her, you chose
00:19:31me, don't let them murder me. That's enough. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:40Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing Casey. Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:50Dexter, I'm gonna faint. I was so scared. He chose Scarlet? Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:00Now, wait a minute. You told me that- You made your choice, Dexter Hayes. Now you get to be
00:20:05the one
00:20:06who saved your soulmate, and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:11No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:17I guess this is the end.
00:20:24Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:27Put the gun down!
00:20:30Put the gun down!
00:20:31Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:33Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:44Let's go! Let's go!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:46Okay, okay.
00:20:47Oh, come on.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48All right.
00:20:54It's gonna be okay.
00:20:55Okay? You left me to die. And for the record, I never needed your money. I was right to walk
00:21:03away. Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:07Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right? They were gonna make me-
00:21:10I'm done living in your shadow, Dex. Goodbye.
00:21:16I'm done living in your shadow, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:30Casey, Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey, stop. Please, stop. Please, please.
00:21:34We're gonna go... Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:37You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:41Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:43You're delusional. He doesn't need you. He has Echo.
00:21:48Yeah. Sure he does. Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:56Fame changed me? Okay.
00:22:01And what about you? You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:06I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:12You chose her, and you left me for dead!
00:22:16No, Casey, you don't understand. I was trying to-
00:22:19No!
00:22:20No!
00:22:21No!
00:22:23No!
00:22:24No!
00:22:27No!
00:22:29No!
00:22:29No!
00:22:30No!
00:22:30No!
00:22:31No!
00:22:33No!
00:22:37No!
00:22:39No!
00:22:40No!
00:22:41No!
00:22:43Okay.
00:22:44Oh, my God that's that's- that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records?!
00:22:49So sorry it didn't come sooner baby girl.
00:22:54You're here now, take me home.
00:22:56I don't know.
00:23:26Kaysha!
00:23:30Kaysha!
00:23:31Kaysha!
00:23:32Kaysha!
00:23:32Kaysha!
00:23:33Let me explain!
00:23:37Scarlett.
00:23:38Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:40I almost died.
00:23:42And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:46I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:49She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:52Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:57Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:00She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:02All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:04I thought Kaysha loved me.
00:24:07But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:16Forget him, princess.
00:24:18You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:23How could I be so blind?
00:24:27Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:34Records.
00:24:35And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:05It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:08Wait, guys, cut the track.
00:25:13The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:16Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:21The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:26You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:30What's going on?
00:25:31Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:34Are you really, Echo?
00:25:39Are you really, Echo?
00:25:43Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:48It's just, your new assistant.
00:25:51He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:54He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:57I mean, look.
00:25:59Last Saved by Max.
00:26:01Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:26:04Okay, you know what?
00:26:05Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:09Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:12It's Dexter.
00:26:13And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screwed me over like that.
00:26:18You're fired.
00:26:26See it again.
00:26:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:45Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:02We're sorry.
00:27:03You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:08Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:11So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:31Look what we just got.
00:27:32An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:36The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:46Look, I'm not interested, okay? We have a song to finish.
00:27:49Dexter.
00:27:51You said it yourself.
00:27:52They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:54We have to go.
00:27:55This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:00Okay.
00:28:01Look.
00:28:02I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:06He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:09I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:13a few extra bucks.
00:28:14You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:17He could make or break our careers.
00:28:21Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:22Of course I am.
00:28:25We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:28So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:34I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:36Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:41Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:44Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:50I'm Echo.
00:28:52I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:54And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:02How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:10We're honored.
00:29:11And 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?
00:29:20I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter.
00:29:24The heiress to the Reed orchid.
00:29:26Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:28I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:31She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:33I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:36Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:38She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:40Look! Here she is now!
00:29:53No fucking way!
00:30:07No fucking way!
00:30:08No fucking way!
00:30:17No fucking way!
00:30:18No fucking way!
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:23Casey?
00:30:24Hey, Dex.
00:30:26Long time no see.
00:30:30Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:32But I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:36So why does my heart still ache?
00:30:54Ignore her.
00:30:55But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:00You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:03All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:08She's right.
00:31:09I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:29Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:32I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:36But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:39I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:42But the party's just getting started.
00:31:44I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:50Why?
00:31:51So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:54I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:00And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:02Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:05I'd love to see you try.
00:32:10Jealous?
00:32:12I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:15How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:19You can dress up all you want.
00:32:23But you will always just be Dexter's lowly, little, errant girl.
00:32:28I thought she was someone important.
00:32:30She's just a desperate assistant, playing dress up.
00:32:34Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart.
00:32:37I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:39Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:40Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:43Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:47Hmm.
00:32:48They got that right.
00:32:49Hmm.
00:32:51Is that so?
00:32:52Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:54Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:00Is it you?
00:33:03How dare you?
00:33:06Careful.
00:33:07The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:11You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:14You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:19-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:20But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:24And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:30hard.
00:33:31Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:35Mr. Reed, thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:40You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:43Well, I would really love to put that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:50Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:53Got you.
00:33:54Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:00daughter.
00:34:01Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:04Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are
00:34:09working on.
00:34:10I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:17I think we could really make something special.
00:34:20Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:23And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:26Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, well, that would make me forever
00:34:32grateful.
00:34:34Well, why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:36The new CEO is already here.
00:34:50Casey.
00:34:51Casey.
00:34:52Casey.
00:34:54Casey.
00:34:57I've been trying to call you the last few days.
00:35:01And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:05I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:11But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:15Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:18What, you missed me already?
00:35:20Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:23This event is invite only.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:29Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm going to stay.
00:35:34You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:41night.
00:35:42If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:44Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:49Yeah, right.
00:35:50The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:55You have no power here.
00:35:56Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:02Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:05Oh, Dex.
00:36:07You forgot to say please.
00:36:11Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:17Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:26Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:32But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:38Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:40Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:45Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:50No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:52It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:56Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:36:59He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:01All right, this is it.
00:37:02He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:04I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire and the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:13My princess and the light of my life.
00:37:17My daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:24What?
00:37:26No.
00:37:55That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:56Holy shit.
00:37:58She's not a sugar baby.
00:37:59She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:02Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:04Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her base?
00:38:08She just committed career suicide.
00:38:10Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:12For the lady of the hour.
00:38:15That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:18Dad, this is too much.
00:38:20Well, something from the old man.
00:38:21And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:25This cannot be happening.
00:38:27She's a nobody.
00:38:30I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:36Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:38He was her father.
00:38:39This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:43She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:47How could I be so blind?
00:38:56Suits you?
00:38:58Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:02Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:05Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:14I just...
00:39:19I just...
00:39:20I still miss you.
00:39:31Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:34Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:40But, I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:42Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:43If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:45Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:46Why you want me back?
00:39:48After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:52You're leaving me for Echo?
00:39:56No, no, look, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:39:59If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:01I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:02I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:04You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:06I lied?
00:40:07Yeah.
00:40:07And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:11I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:14You have to believe me, please.
00:40:15I was just trying to...
00:40:18Look, I...
00:40:19Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:20I guess, why are you here?
00:40:22Are you here just...
00:40:23Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:25Tank my career?
00:40:29Oh, tank your career.
00:40:31I made his career.
00:40:34I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:36You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:40Wait.
00:40:45This...
00:40:46This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:49Why you left me for dead.
00:40:54Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:56Threw me to the curb.
00:40:58For the fame.
00:40:59The fortune.
00:41:01The fans.
00:41:02No, no, Casey.
00:41:02No, no.
00:41:03Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:09Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:14I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:16Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:28Effective immediately.
00:41:29Oh, my God.
00:41:30Oh, my God.
00:41:30Oh, my God.
00:41:35You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:41Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:45Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:47None of this.
00:41:47I don't care about that.
00:41:48I've always loved you.
00:41:50Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:52She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:57Scarlet is Echo.
00:41:59She can produce his songs.
00:42:01She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:05Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:07She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:10Okay, Mom, Mom.
00:42:11Stop.
00:42:12You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:15I'm done talking about this.
00:42:37You've known me for years, I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:47All of those years, I wouldn't be able to play.
00:43:00Made a twine, lost in my mind.
00:43:05I'm still missing you.
00:43:41I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:44You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:46I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:50Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:52I never gave up on us.
00:43:53She's got another truth.
00:43:55I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:05Fine.
00:44:07Let's not talk.
00:44:13What's wrong?
00:44:15Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:19I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:27Not anymore.
00:44:29I'm your former boss now.
00:44:31In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:38I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:40I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:42I just want you.
00:44:43And I know that you want me too.
00:44:46Don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:51I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:44:58You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:01But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:09I don't care about the fans.
00:45:11I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:12I don't care what the record labels have to say.
00:45:14If you tell me that you want to be with me,
00:45:18we'll be together.
00:45:23We can tease each other all day.
00:45:27Until you finally admit
00:45:29you
00:45:31still
00:45:33love me.
00:45:56You're right.
00:45:57I am like an instrument.
00:45:58the way I let you play me.
00:46:01After what you did,
00:46:02why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:04Listen to me.
00:46:05I've been trying to tell you
00:46:07I do not want to be with Skullet.
00:46:09Hello?
00:46:11Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:14Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:14Hold on.
00:46:15Sasha Silver?
00:46:16I've been telling you for months.
00:46:17The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:20A douchebag with over
00:46:21a hundred million strings.
00:46:23I mean,
00:46:24we have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:25size hole to fill
00:46:26and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:27It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:29You don't need him.
00:46:30No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:32I don't think you
00:46:33of all people
00:46:34get to tell me
00:46:35what I need.
00:46:36Casey.
00:46:37Casey.
00:46:38Casey!
00:46:41Casey has every right
00:46:42to be angry with me
00:46:43after what I did.
00:46:44I have to prove
00:46:45she can trust me again.
00:46:58Perfect timing.
00:46:59Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:00Thank you for meeting me
00:47:01on such short notice.
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:04women who speak too much.
00:47:06I've been an exception for you.
00:47:08Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:09in the third person?
00:47:11I don't know what that means.
00:47:13But
00:47:15you want to hear
00:47:16one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:17They're a big hit online.
00:47:18I'm very excited
00:47:19about a potential partnership.
00:47:21Well,
00:47:23I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:25Actually,
00:47:26I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:28if you don't mind.
00:47:29So many musicians out there
00:47:30faking their music with AI,
00:47:31you know?
00:47:32Of course.
00:47:34But
00:47:35you're not in a hurry.
00:47:36Why don't we toast first
00:47:38to this potential partnership?
00:47:56Shall we?
00:47:57How can I resist?
00:47:59I do love straight vodka.
00:48:07But you know what I
00:48:10actually
00:48:11love even more than that?
00:48:14What's that?
00:48:15Exposing
00:48:16asshole pervs.
00:48:18My hair.
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:21You really think
00:48:22you can drug me?
00:48:23And then what?
00:48:24Force me to sign you
00:48:25to read records?
00:48:26Now you know
00:48:27who you're dealing with.
00:48:29Not so fast.
00:48:31You thought you could
00:48:32just walk in here
00:48:33and demand a live performance
00:48:34from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:36Do I look
00:48:37like a little bitch to you?
00:48:38Absolutely.
00:48:39And a fraud.
00:48:42I'll be sure
00:48:43no label
00:48:44will ever
00:48:44sign you
00:48:45no matter
00:48:46how talented
00:48:47you are.
00:48:48I want me
00:48:49to label
00:48:49to sign me.
00:48:50Not when I get
00:48:51read records
00:48:52for myself.
00:48:55Be shy, Casey.
00:48:57I'm just hoping
00:48:57you get ready.
00:48:58The paparazzi
00:48:59will be here any minute
00:48:59to see my new mistress.
00:49:01We'll plaster our photos
00:49:02all over the tabloids.
00:49:04Everyone will see
00:49:05what a slut you are.
00:49:06How you slept
00:49:07your way to the top.
00:49:09Your poor father.
00:49:10He's going to have
00:49:11no choice
00:49:12but to hand you
00:49:13and your company
00:49:14over to me.
00:49:15You're delusional.
00:49:16Stay away from me.
00:49:18I'm fine.
00:49:19You don't tell Sasha
00:49:20with me.
00:49:20Hey!
00:49:22Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:25I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:27Extra heads.
00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:30I'm fine.
00:49:35What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:37I could sue you for that.
00:49:39I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:41You're just a wash-up addict
00:49:42and you do not have
00:49:44a leg to stand on.
00:49:45Okay?
00:49:50Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:51Jesus.
00:49:53We could have produced
00:49:54a sick-ass record together.
00:49:55You kind of wanted
00:49:56to defend this
00:49:57used-up slut.
00:49:59I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:01What a name.
00:50:04is Casey Wee.
00:50:05And she's the future
00:50:06of the industry
00:50:07that you want so badly
00:50:08fucking in!
00:50:10Your career is dead,
00:50:12Sasha.
00:50:13I'm not sure of that.
00:50:15Let's go.
00:50:23Let's go.
00:50:26Give me your hand.
00:50:35Casey, I've been telling you
00:50:36for months.
00:50:37Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:38My business
00:50:39is none of your concern.
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:42what the hell do you think
00:50:43would have happened?
00:50:44Do you have any idea
00:50:45what he could have done to you?
00:50:46He could have raped you.
00:50:47Yes!
00:50:47He could have done-
00:50:47Okay!
00:50:48I know!
00:50:50Newsflash!
00:50:50I'm not your assistant
00:50:52anymore.
00:50:53So,
00:50:54it's not your concern
00:50:55where I am
00:50:56or what I'm doing.
00:50:57Okay?
00:50:58So,
00:50:58stop
00:51:00following me.
00:51:05The car is still
00:51:06fucking moving.
00:51:08Stop following you
00:51:09the minute that you
00:51:11stop making stupid
00:51:12fucking decisions.
00:51:14And when I've made it
00:51:16for all the danger
00:51:16I've put her in.
00:51:20You're way
00:51:22too interested
00:51:23in my personal life,
00:51:25Dex.
00:51:26Won't your fiance
00:51:27be jealous?
00:51:32I've been trying
00:51:33to tell you
00:51:34for weeks
00:51:35I did not
00:51:36want
00:51:37to marry
00:51:38Scarlet.
00:51:40You don't fucking
00:51:41let me.
00:51:42Now you're really
00:51:43starting to piss me off.
00:51:44Isn't that the point?
00:51:55So,
00:51:57what am I
00:51:58supposed to do?
00:51:59Pretend she
00:52:00doesn't exist
00:52:02and be
00:52:02the pop star's
00:52:04secret
00:52:05side piece
00:52:06again?
00:52:08I should
00:52:09push him away
00:52:10but I can't
00:52:11deny how much
00:52:12I miss his touch.
00:52:13You were never
00:52:13the side piece.
00:52:16and you
00:52:17know it.
00:52:27Boss,
00:52:28I have news!
00:52:30Thank you
00:52:31for your help
00:52:32today,
00:52:33Dexter.
00:52:35Please,
00:52:36stop following me.
00:52:40or else it's
00:52:41going to get
00:52:41harder and
00:52:42harder to walk
00:52:43away.
00:52:52Great timing.
00:52:54As always.
00:52:55Why are you even
00:52:56here?
00:52:57Done what you
00:52:57asked.
00:52:58News of Sasha
00:52:58Silver's fraudulence
00:53:00and drug abuse
00:53:00have been leaked
00:53:01to the press.
00:53:01No label,
00:53:02studio,
00:53:03brand will
00:53:03go anywhere
00:53:04near him.
00:53:05His net worth
00:53:05plummeted to
00:53:06zero.
00:53:07Good.
00:53:08Buy all the
00:53:08rice to his
00:53:09music.
00:53:11I'm going to
00:53:11give that to
00:53:12Casey as a gift.
00:53:18I heard what
00:53:19happened with
00:53:19Sasha.
00:53:20Now that was
00:53:20way too risky,
00:53:21Casey.
00:53:22Look,
00:53:23I'm far from
00:53:23Dexter's biggest
00:53:24fan,
00:53:24but that could
00:53:25have gotten
00:53:25real ugly if he
00:53:26hadn't shown up.
00:53:27I could have
00:53:28handled Sasha.
00:53:29There was also
00:53:29a huge leak in the
00:53:30press.
00:53:31All of Sasha's
00:53:32Silver's dirty
00:53:33laundry are out
00:53:34for everyone to
00:53:35see.
00:53:35He's been,
00:53:36uh,
00:53:36what do you
00:53:36kids call it?
00:53:37Canceled.
00:53:38Who took him
00:53:38down?
00:53:40Dexter Hayes.
00:53:46He even bought
00:53:47the rights to
00:53:47Sasha's music.
00:53:49He can't sing
00:53:50anything anywhere
00:53:51or get sued to
00:53:52hell and back.
00:53:53Dex took down
00:53:54Sasha's silver?
00:53:55For me?
00:53:57Maybe.
00:53:58He's not as bad
00:53:59as I thought.
00:54:00Or maybe he
00:54:01should stop
00:54:01interfering himself
00:54:02with my life.
00:54:07The world-famous
00:54:08music producer
00:54:09Echo is set
00:54:10to finally reveal
00:54:11their identity
00:54:12at the legendary
00:54:13Universal Music
00:54:13Awards tomorrow
00:54:14night.
00:54:16Scarlet's getting
00:54:17desperate.
00:54:18She's trying to
00:54:18convince the world
00:54:19she's Echo
00:54:20before it can
00:54:20expose her lies.
00:54:21She can't keep
00:54:22up the act forever.
00:54:24Sooner or later,
00:54:24Dexter will realize
00:54:25she can't even
00:54:26hold a tune.
00:54:27Much less produce
00:54:28a hit track.
00:54:29Scarlet is nothing
00:54:30if she's not Echo.
00:54:32She knows Dexter
00:54:33wouldn't look at her
00:54:33twice, let alone
00:54:34marry her, if she
00:54:36wasn't pretending
00:54:37to be a genius
00:54:37producer.
00:54:38I don't know how
00:54:39she thinks she's
00:54:39going to get away
00:54:40with it.
00:54:42I think it's time
00:54:43the world finds out
00:54:45who the real Echo
00:54:46is.
00:54:50You want to go
00:54:51to the UMAs
00:54:52as Echo?
00:54:53They've invited me
00:54:54every year and I've
00:54:55always refused.
00:54:56I've let this scam
00:54:57go on long enough.
00:54:59It's time the world
00:55:00finds out the truth
00:55:00about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:01The world.
00:55:02Or Dexter.
00:55:06This isn't about him.
00:55:10He made his bed
00:55:11when he proposed
00:55:12to Scarlet.
00:55:13Well, my daughter
00:55:13deserves all the
00:55:14recognition of the
00:55:15world.
00:55:16But if you're
00:55:17going to go as Echo,
00:55:18oh, you're going
00:55:19to do it right.
00:55:20With the best
00:55:21equipment money
00:55:22can buy.
00:55:23Huh?
00:55:25I want people
00:55:26to see my princess
00:55:27for the queen
00:55:28saying that she is.
00:55:32You're the best,
00:55:33dad.
00:55:47Mrs. Hayes,
00:55:49it's so good
00:55:50to see you again.
00:55:52How's Dexter?
00:55:54Engaged.
00:55:55Yes, my future
00:55:57daughter-in-law
00:55:58is performing
00:55:58at the Universal
00:55:59Music Awards
00:56:00tomorrow and I'd
00:56:02like to gift her
00:56:02something to mark

01:03:12the Universal
01:03:13Music Awards
01:03:14stage.

01:03:16Let's go.
01:03:17Scotland!
01:03:32You can't
01:03:33start the
01:03:33show without
01:03:34show without
01:03:34me.
01:03:38I knew
01:03:39you'd
01:03:39make it.
01:03:39Of course
01:03:40she did.
01:03:41Her daddy
01:03:41probably got
01:03:41her a ticket
01:03:42after she
01:03:42cried about
01:03:43being left
01:03:43out.
01:03:44Dexter,
01:03:45Scarlet.
01:03:46You know,
01:03:46I'm actually
01:03:47surprised you
01:03:47showed up.
01:03:48I thought
01:03:49it would be
01:03:49too painful
01:03:50for you to
01:03:50witness people
01:03:51with actual
01:03:52talent perform
01:03:53when you
01:03:54yourself have
01:03:55none.
01:03:55Mm.
01:03:56I'm getting
01:03:57a lecture
01:03:58about talent
01:03:59from you.
01:04:00Oh,
01:04:01guess we'll
01:04:01see who's
01:04:02real and
01:04:02who's fake
01:04:02tonight.
01:04:04Wreck-a-like,
01:04:05Scarlet.
01:04:06Or should I
01:04:07say,
01:04:07Echo.
01:04:09Don't choke.
01:04:11Hope you
01:04:12don't choke.
01:04:34The playback's
01:04:35down.
01:04:36The track's
01:04:36gone,
01:04:37completely white.
01:04:38You have another
01:04:39version of the
01:04:40track, right?
01:04:44I didn't even
01:04:45make that version.
01:04:46I had to pay
01:04:47Taylor Swift's
01:04:47producer to send
01:04:48them to her
01:04:48reject tracks.
01:04:49Go fix this.
01:04:50Now.
01:04:53This is bad.
01:04:54All right,
01:04:55everyone's just
01:04:55out there staring
01:04:56at us.
01:04:57We're gonna
01:04:57burn the
01:04:57broadcast and
01:04:58the label's
01:04:59gonna drop us.
01:05:00What are we
01:05:00gonna do?
01:05:02I have an
01:05:03idea.
01:05:04Your
01:05:05Echo,
01:05:06Echo, right?
01:05:17Yes, it's true.
01:05:19I'm Echo, the award-winning
01:05:22producer and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:24longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:26Then prove it.
01:05:28Go ahead.
01:05:29Why don't you mix
01:05:30us a live track
01:05:31right here,
01:05:31right now?
01:05:32Come on.
01:05:33You're a genius
01:05:34producer, right?
01:05:35I mean,
01:05:36this is your chance
01:05:37to show off your
01:05:37talents.
01:05:38I mean,
01:05:38the whole world
01:05:38is watching.
01:05:40I don't know
01:05:41what any of these
01:05:42buttons even do.
01:05:43This bitch
01:05:44is trying to
01:05:44sabotage me.
01:05:45I must have
01:05:46another file I
01:05:47can play.
01:05:47I'll just make
01:05:48it look like
01:05:49I'm mixing
01:05:49in real time.
01:05:51Of course.
01:05:52Watch me
01:05:53work my magic.
01:06:12And that's how
01:06:13it's done.
01:06:14Show must go on.
01:06:16Nice try.
01:06:17Scarlet's proven
01:06:18herself enough.
01:06:19You can stop
01:06:20with the jealous
01:06:21witch hunt now.
01:06:22Okay,
01:06:23can you boost
01:06:23the treble
01:06:24on the EQ
01:06:25in the middle
01:06:25and can you
01:06:25pan from
01:06:26stage left
01:06:27to stage right
01:06:27real quick?
01:06:30Yeah.
01:06:38Damn,
01:06:38I guess you're
01:06:39going to have
01:06:39to do with
01:06:39the old-fashioned
01:06:40way.
01:06:41That means
01:06:41recording the
01:06:42instruments live,
01:06:43looping them.
01:06:43Don't listen to her.
01:06:45She doesn't know
01:06:46what it takes
01:06:46to make a track
01:06:47of my caliber.
01:06:48And this isn't
01:06:49the first time
01:06:50one of Dexter's
01:06:50tracks have been
01:06:51corrupted.
01:06:52If I didn't
01:06:53know any better,
01:06:54I think you
01:06:55were trying
01:06:55to sabotage
01:06:56her.
01:06:56Scarlet,
01:06:57Scarlet,
01:06:57why would Casey
01:06:58do that?
01:06:59For real?
01:06:59Okay,
01:06:59you're Echo.
01:07:01Okay,
01:07:02so just fix
01:07:03the track.

01:07:12anxiety?
01:07:17Scarlet,
01:07:18you are our
01:07:19only hope now.
01:07:20You have to
01:07:21fix this.
01:07:22I could,
01:07:22if I had
01:07:23something other
01:07:24than this shoddy
01:07:25Reed Records
01:07:26music equipment
01:07:27to work with.
01:07:28Casey,
01:07:28if you're such
01:07:29a genius,
01:07:29why don't you
01:07:29fix it?
01:07:31Oh,
01:07:31I actually
01:07:32would,
01:07:33gladly,
01:07:33but it's
01:07:34actually your
01:07:34big night,
01:07:35so why don't
01:07:36you show everyone
01:07:36the brilliant Echo
01:07:37and how you made
01:07:38Dexter Hayes
01:07:39a superstar.
01:07:40Echo!
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:42Echo!
01:07:43Echo!
01:07:44Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Just your Echo,
01:07:47okay?
01:07:48Record some
01:07:49many instruments,
01:07:50lay them down,
01:07:50make a track.
01:07:51It's that simple.
01:07:51You know how to do this.
01:07:53You really think
01:07:54your fiancé is going
01:07:55to be able to fix
01:07:56this show?
01:07:57I mean,
01:07:57if she goes down,
01:07:59you go down with her.
01:08:01Casey shouldn't
01:08:02even be here.
01:08:03I can't let her
01:08:04expose me.
01:08:05Not when I'm
01:08:05so close to
01:08:06marrying Dexter
01:08:07and becoming
01:08:07a pop legend.
01:08:09Boop.
01:08:30Is this part
01:08:31of her process?
01:08:32It would take
01:08:33a true genius
01:08:34to make that racket,
01:08:35sound like music.
01:08:56Oh my god,
01:08:58is Scarlet Heart
01:08:58tone deaf?
01:09:00Come on, Echo.
01:09:01Show them your talent.
01:09:02keep going.
01:09:03Get off the stage.
01:09:05You're ruining
01:09:06the UMAs.
01:09:09All right, look.
01:09:12It's done.
01:09:14You're really
01:09:14going to give up
01:09:15that easily, Dex?
01:09:17You're going to
01:09:17throw it all away
01:09:18because of Scarlet?
01:09:19Yeah, I am.
01:09:21That whole career
01:09:21that I fought for
01:09:23for however,
01:09:23how many years?
01:09:24Yeah.
01:09:28I'm going to do it.
01:09:28Because you know what?
01:09:30Someone that I was close to
01:09:32once told me
01:09:33that there's a lot more
01:09:34to life than just your career.
01:09:36And who knows,
01:09:37maybe I can get a cool
01:09:38new gig
01:09:39as a personal assistant
01:09:40for the new CEO
01:09:41of Reed Records.
01:09:44Dexter,
01:09:45stop it
01:09:45with those awful jokes.
01:09:47Your entire life's work
01:09:49is on the line.
01:09:50Mom,
01:09:51you heard the track,
01:09:52okay?
01:09:52There's no saving this song.
01:09:54Now, it's over.
01:09:55It's over.
01:10:10Well,
01:10:11I guess it's time
01:10:12for the next act
01:10:13of this show.
01:10:15No, no.
01:10:16There's no,
01:10:17there's no other act.
01:10:18Hey!
01:10:19It's time to let
01:10:20a real musician
01:10:21take the stage.
01:10:29What the hell
01:10:30do you think
01:10:30you're doing?
01:10:31Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:34You heard of Scarlett?
01:10:36I mean,
01:10:37you can stay
01:10:38unless you want to go down
01:10:39as the worst performer
01:10:40in UMA history.
01:10:42If I couldn't mix
01:10:43a whole live track,
01:10:44what makes you think
01:10:44you could?
01:10:45For one,
01:10:46I know what I'm doing.
01:10:48And if you don't?
01:10:50Will you step down
01:10:51as Reed Records CEO
01:10:52if you fail?
01:10:54Happily.
01:10:55Hmm.
01:10:58Everyone,
01:10:59we're about to watch
01:11:00the Reed Records CEO
01:11:02dig her own grave.
01:11:03It seems like Echo
01:11:04is having technical difficulties
01:11:06with her track.
01:11:07Since we're live,
01:11:08let's make something new.
01:11:10Dexter,
01:11:11sing me the first line
01:11:11of your song,
01:11:12just your voice.
01:11:14Right now.
01:11:15Right now.
01:11:22I am not
01:11:24the kind
01:11:25for a show.
01:11:29This is not
01:11:31a one-time thing.
01:11:33Lights are low,
01:11:35but I still
01:11:36will.
01:11:38This morning's
01:11:39got
01:11:40a sting.
01:11:42Good.
01:11:46Now let's
01:11:46make a hit.
01:11:54Let's
01:11:55fucking go!
01:11:56Ha ha ha!
01:12:11Wait,
01:12:12what is she doing?
01:12:14I mean,
01:12:15you produced this,
01:12:16right?
01:12:16So do you want
01:12:17to go ahead
01:12:17and take over?
01:12:18I can't.
01:12:19I don't have
01:12:20but...
01:12:20You don't need
01:12:21anything except
01:12:22for a band
01:12:23and raw talent.
01:12:24I mean,
01:12:24you are a musician,
01:12:25right?
01:12:30Since when
01:12:31is Casey Reed
01:12:31a musical genius?
01:12:33That sound,
01:12:34it's familiar.
01:12:35not the kind
01:12:37for sure.
01:12:40This is not
01:12:42a one-time thing.
01:12:44Stop!
01:12:44Stop it!
01:12:56Casey.
01:12:59You're Echo.
01:13:00Does this mean
01:13:01Casey Reed
01:13:02is Echo?
01:13:04This is my song!
01:13:06She just ripped
01:13:06it off!
01:13:07Who's stealing
01:13:08now,
01:13:08Scarlett?
01:13:09Don't
01:13:10listen to her!
01:13:12I'm Echo!
01:13:15I didn't even
01:13:16make that version.
01:13:17I had to pay
01:13:18Taylor Swift's
01:13:19producer to send
01:13:19me one of
01:13:19her reject tracks.
01:13:21Go fix this.
01:13:25Now everyone
01:13:25knows the truth.
01:13:31She's the one
01:13:32that saved the song.
01:13:33No,
01:13:33that was me.
01:13:35I already did
01:13:35all the work.
01:13:36She's just
01:13:36taking the credit.
01:13:38I had to mix
01:13:39the track live,
01:13:40Dexter,
01:13:41so that makes
01:13:41it my intellectual
01:13:42property.
01:13:43You're welcome
01:13:44to put it on
01:13:45your next album,
01:13:45but you're gonna
01:13:46have to pay me
01:13:47for it.
01:13:47Where do I sign?
01:13:49I don't think
01:13:49you could afford
01:13:50my fee.
01:13:52I think you might
01:13:52just be surprised.
01:13:55200 million.
01:13:56200 million?
01:13:58For one song?
01:13:59It's more than
01:14:00our entire album
01:14:01deal.
01:14:02Are you insane?
01:14:03And I want
01:14:04my name to be
01:14:05credited.
01:14:07Bad deal,
01:14:08Miss Reed.
01:14:09And one last
01:14:11thing.
01:14:11I want a public
01:14:13apology from
01:14:14Scarlet Heart
01:14:15and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:17That's ridiculous!
01:14:18Why should we
01:14:19apologize to you?
01:14:20I mean,
01:14:21you don't have to.
01:14:21I could just
01:14:22go ahead and leave
01:14:22and then Scarlet
01:14:23could finish the
01:14:24album and Dexter's
01:14:25career could crash
01:14:26and burn,
01:14:27so what will it be?
01:14:34The clock is ticking.
01:14:37I was wrong
01:14:38about you.
01:14:39You saved
01:14:39Dexter's song.
01:14:42I'm sorry.
01:14:46And you?
01:14:47Do it.
01:14:49Apologize to her.
01:14:50That bitch.
01:14:51Why do I have
01:14:52to apologize to her?
01:14:53She ruined
01:14:54everything.
01:14:55Come on,
01:14:56let's hear it.
01:14:56Tell the world
01:14:57the truth.
01:14:57Scarlet.
01:14:59Fine!
01:15:00I'm not Echo.
01:15:01I pretended
01:15:02and I never wrote
01:15:03or produced
01:15:03any of Dexter's
01:15:04songs.
01:15:05They are happy!
01:15:09I was wrong
01:15:10about you.
01:15:11You saved
01:15:12Dexter's song.
01:15:14I'm sorry.
01:15:18And you?
01:15:20Do it.
01:15:21Apologize to her.
01:15:22That bitch!
01:15:24Why do I have to
01:15:24apologize to her?
01:15:25She ruined
01:15:26everything.
01:15:27Come on,
01:15:28let's hear it.
01:15:29Tell the world
01:15:29the truth.
01:15:30Scarlet.
01:15:31Fine!
01:15:32I'm not Echo.
01:15:33I pretended
01:15:34and I never wrote
01:15:35or produced
01:15:36any of Dexter's
01:15:36songs.
01:15:37They are happy!
01:15:40They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:43Wait,
01:15:44that's not
01:15:45what I really meant.
01:15:47Dexter,
01:15:48she manipulated me.
01:15:50You're still my fiancé.
01:15:51You believe me?
01:15:51Scarlet,
01:15:52you are exactly
01:15:53what we all see.
01:15:54You're fucking
01:15:54fraud
01:15:55and you're
01:15:55a damn liar.
01:15:58Casey

01:15:59who built my career.
01:16:01Hell,
01:16:01she's the one
01:16:01who saved
01:16:01the damn song.
01:16:03She's the only one
01:16:05who ever cared
01:16:06about me
01:16:06or loved me.

01:18:16yüz
01:18:19will
01:19:00A revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:07You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:10You ruined everything!
01:19:14Dexter was gonna be mine!
01:19:17I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:28But you had to get in my way.
01:19:33That won't happen again.
01:19:34Hey, say!
01:19:36Dex, no!
01:19:37No!
01:19:48Dex, Dex, stay with me!
01:19:50Oh, my God!
01:19:55Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:57You've been here all night.
01:20:00You still love him, don't you?
01:20:03Dexter saved my life, but...
01:20:06As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:09You know, if you say so.
01:20:11But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:15It doesn't matter now.
01:20:18Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:22Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:26I said, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:31And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:37Your love.
01:20:38Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:40I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:46Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:49Hmm?
01:20:50Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:52The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:56and sign him to the label again.
01:20:59You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:06Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:14Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:34It was a close call.
01:21:35One centimeter to the right.
01:21:37He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:39If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:44Oh, hopefully.
01:21:44He'll recover.
01:21:46But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:49That's it.
01:21:57What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:01How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:05If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:10Never.
01:22:14Bye.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:20Bye.
01:22:21Bye.
01:22:21You're beautiful.
01:22:25Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:27I think I have every right to be.
01:22:34Casey, I...
01:22:39I miss you.
01:22:41I miss him too.
01:22:42But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:48You saved my life, and...
01:22:53I will be forever grateful.
01:22:57And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:00And we can go our separate ways, we can end on a high note.
01:23:04No!
01:23:05No!
01:23:07Is that really what you want?
01:23:09To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:19Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:21Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:35That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:39I only did it because I had to.
01:23:42They forced you to choose her.
01:23:44I...
01:23:44I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:46I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:50I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:52And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:58But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:06When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:09I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:12Me neither.
01:24:17You're my little muse.
01:24:21My pop star.
01:24:27Which...
01:24:27Reminds me.
01:24:31Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:37The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:42You saved their CEO.
01:24:43You deserve it.
01:24:44You're the reason I sing.
01:24:46You're the reason I live.
01:24:48I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:51You...
01:24:53You're my world, Casey.
01:24:56I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:58I know.
01:25:00But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:03I don't want to be with you for just who you are, or what you have, or any of that
01:25:06stuff.
01:25:07I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:09I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:13That's all I need.
01:25:16You do it together.
01:25:21I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:24Okay.
01:25:28I want us to do this together.
01:25:32I love you.
01:25:35I love you too.
01:25:49That's the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:53Maybe we'd better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:58Yes ma'am.
01:26:08I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly
01:26:16the love of my life.
01:26:19So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:46I hope you enjoy.
01:27:20I hope you enjoy.
01:27:37I hope you enjoy.
01:27:42I hope you enjoy.
01:28:06I hope you enjoy.
01:28:33I hope you enjoy.
01:28:36I hope you enjoy.
01:28:41I hope you enjoy.
01:28:43I hope you enjoy.
01:28:49I hope you enjoy.
01:28:50I hope you enjoy.
