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 I died.
00:08:01Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you, I'm one thing to remember you by.
00:08:10The time I looked into your eye, a secret feeling again.
00:08:15I know I was running out of time.
00:08:52The time I looked into your face, I'd be when I was out of time.
00:09:09Huh?
00:09:09What the time is passing through my threads?ASSIFIC
00:09:10to me. Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes. He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce
00:09:33our relationship. I loved her and she betrayed me. Oh my god! Dexie! Oh my god, is he proposing
00:09:53to Scarlet Heart? Yes! Oh my god, Dexie! Yes! Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life
00:10:08together. I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me. No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet,
00:10:16but she made my career and Casey betrayed me. It was all a lie. All right, I can play along
00:10:29with his engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart. Hey, Casey.
00:10:53You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose
00:11:01and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger? Casey, you gave me no choice. I gave you everything.
00:11:12I loved you. Do you love her? I owe her. Okay, I owe her. All right, I don't...
00:11:20You owe her? Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant. What has she ever done for
00:11:27you? Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay, so that's why.
00:11:35What are you talking about? Scarlet is Echo. You think Scarlet Heart is Echo? Well, I know
00:11:51she 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. How could you believe her lies? Come on, all
00:12:04you do is lie. You know, I don't even know who you are anymore. Is this what you wanted
00:12:12all along? To be a music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:20He could have had that with me. This is all you ever really cared about, isn't it? Not loyalty. Just
00:12:32your music. What do you know about Dexter's music? This is my notebook full of songs that I wrote
00:12:44for Dexter's first little platinum album. That's my notebook. How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:51I'm a musical genius. You're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:57I can't get back. Ow! Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:00She what? She's gotten into you. I don't... I 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
00:13:12to work for it. She's taking advantage of you. She has been for years. Dexter, you can't seriously
00:13:19be believing this. Scarlet is not Echo. Then tell me why I shouldn't. Okay? Why shouldn't
00:13:26I believe her? Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:36Casey. Look, I know that you've been hiding things. So please just, just tell me the truth.
00:13:47Okay, right now, or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:53Please.
00:13:57Please.
00:14:05The truth doesn't matter anymore. You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:15We're over.
00:14:17Dex.
00:14:21Goodbye.
00:14:22Forever.
00:14:42The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market. Dexter Hayes popped the question
00:14:48to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight, and she said yes.
00:14:58Dad, I gave Dex everything. I made his career, but he doesn't want me. He never did.
00:15:07What happened, Princess?
00:15:09Scarlet Hart. She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:14I'll come get you.
00:15:19Casey. Casey, where are you?
00:15:31Looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:33Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:38Who are you?
00:15:40Let me go.
00:15:41Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:43We won't hurt you.
00:15:44We're your fans, too.
00:15:46We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:49We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:53We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:57You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:00I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:03We were in love.
00:16:05Or I thought we were.
00:16:07We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:10The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:13is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:20Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:25Dressing room.
00:16:26Come alone.
00:16:27Choose to save Scarlet Hart, and we'll spare them.
00:16:30Choose your little assistant, and they both die.
00:16:35You've reached Casey.
00:16:37I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:39Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:43Casey?
00:16:44So she never left the concert.
00:16:46Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:49Dexter is coming.
00:16:51We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:53You psychos!
00:16:56Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:01Obviously not.
00:17:02She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:06You fucked him too?
00:17:08God.
00:17:10Our precious Dexter.
00:17:12Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:15Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:17You don't deserve to live.
00:17:19No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:22So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:27That's not true.
00:17:29First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:32You're psychotic.
00:17:33Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:35If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you,
00:17:38and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:42You're crazier than they are.
00:17:44Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:50Casey.
00:17:51Dexter.
00:17:57Dexter.
00:17:58Casey.
00:17:59Dexter.
00:18:01Dexter.
00:18:02Dexter.
00:18:02Dexter, help me.
00:18:03They hit me, and then they tied me up,
00:18:05and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:08Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:13We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:15We're your biggest fans.
00:18:17We're doing this for you.
00:18:19Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:22all right, you'll put the gun down,
00:18:24and then let these two go, please.
00:18:25No, that's not how this works.
00:18:28Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:31We're engaged now.
00:18:33You can't let me die.
00:18:35Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:37all the memories,
00:18:38all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:41did they mean anything?
00:18:42You must choose one to live.
00:18:45Will it be your future wife?
00:18:48Or your mistress?
00:18:50Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:54They said if I don't choose Scarlet,
00:18:56then they both die.
00:18:57I can save Casey, but 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?
00:19:13And you loved him?
00:19:15You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:19If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:21go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:23Choose now or they both die.
00:19:25Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:27Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:29You dumped her.
00:19:31You chose me.
00:19:32Don't let them murder me.
00:19:34That's enough.
00:19:35We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:38two,
00:19:39one.
00:19:40Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:40I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:44Scarlet, all right?
00:19:45I choose Scarlet.
00:19:50Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:53I was so scared.
00:19:55He chose Scarlet?
00:19:56Good choice.
00:19:58Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:00Now, wait a minute.
00:20:01You told me that...
00:20:02You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:04Now you get to be the one
00:20:06who saved your soulmate
00:20:08and will take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:11No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:17I guess this is the end.
00:20:25Goodbye, 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.
00:20:45Let's go.
00:20:46Let's go.
00:20:46Okay.
00:20:47Oh, come on.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48All right.
00:20:54It's gonna be okay.
00:20:55Okay?
00:20:56You left me to die.
00:20:58And for the record,
00:20:59I never needed your money.
00:21:01I was right to walk away.
00:21:04Staying with you
00:21:04was the biggest mistake
00:21:05I've ever made.
00:21:07Look, Casey.
00:21:08You don't understand, all right?
00:21:09They were gonna make me...
00:21:10I'm done
00:21:13living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:15Goodbye.
00:21:21Casey.
00:21:22Casey.
00:21:22Hey.
00:21:31Casey, stop.
00:21:32Please, stop.
00:21:33Please, please.
00:21:34We're gonna go...
00:21:35Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:36without all this?
00:21:37You should be asking yourself
00:21:39that same question.
00:21:40Good luck staying at the top
00:21:42of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:43You're delusional.
00:21:45He doesn't need you.
00:21:46He has Echo.
00:21:47Well, yeah.
00:21:49Sure he does.
00:21:50Fame really has changed you,
00:21:53Dexter Hayes.
00:21:56Fame changed me?
00:21:59Okay.
00:22:00And what about you?
00:22:02You're the one that's been
00:22:03sneaking around behind my back
00:22:04this whole time.
00:22:06I never betrayed you
00:22:09how you betrayed me
00:22:10by putting that ring
00:22:11on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:13You chose her
00:22:14and you left me for dead.
00:22:16No.
00:22:17Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:18I was trying to...
00:22:43Oh my god, that's...
00:22:44That's Ed Reed,
00:22:45the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:49So sorry it didn't come
00:22:50sooner, baby girl.
00:22:54You're here now.
00:22:56Take me home.
00:23:08Dexter, we came from Amelia
00:23:09for you to kill me!
00:23:11I'm not!
00:23:12I'm not!
00:23:12I'm not!
00:23:13I'm not!
00:23:13I'm not!
00:23:14I'm not!
00:23:14I'm not!
00:23:14I'm not!
00:23:14I'm not!
00:23:15I'm not!
00:23:17I was trying to...
00:23:18Whoop!
00:23:19Dexter, hey!
00:23:19If he was...
00:23:26Dexter!
00:23:27Dexter!
00:23:28Dexter!
00:23:28He has everything!
00:23:29Dexter!
00:23:31Dexter!
00:23:32Let me explain!
00:23:36Oh, Scarlet...
00:23:38Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it. I 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 Casey 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 rock star's errands.
00:24:23How could I be so blind?
00:24:27Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:31announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:34And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:49My back is pressed.
00:24:57My back is pressed.
00:25:05No, no!
00:25:08Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:13The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:16Look, guys, we have one week, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:21The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:25You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:29What's going on?
00:25:32Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:34Are you really, Echo?
00:25:40Are you really, Echo?
00:25:45Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:48It's just your new assistant.
00:25:51He's been messing.
00:25:52He'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.
00:26:02Yeah, 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, I just...
00:26:12It's Dexter, and I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have 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.
00:27:08All right, 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.
00:27:47Okay, 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.
00:27:53We have to go.
00:27:55This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:00Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:07He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:08I'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.
00:28:33I 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, the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:26Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:28I don't know.
00:29:29Who 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!
00:30:18Casey?
00:30:22Casey?
00:30:24Hey, Dex. Long 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?
00:30:54Ignore 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.
00:31:30Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:33I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:36But this party is for the elite, with 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.
00:31:45I 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.
00:32:10You're jealous?
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, they 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.
00:33:10Yeah.
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 and pay
00:33:19-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:21But 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, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:35Mr. Reed.
00:33:36Hi.
00:33:37Dexter Hayes.
00:33:38Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:40Um, you've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:43Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:50Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:52Got 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, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:09and I are, uh, working 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.
00:34:27Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with, uh, the new CEO, I, well, that would make
00:34:32me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:34Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:37The new CEO is already here.
00:34:49Casey? Casey? Casey? Casey? Casey?
00:34:57Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:35:03instead you just showed up here.
00:35:04I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again, but after what
00:35:11he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:15Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:20Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:23This event is invite only.
00:35:29Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna 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.
00:35:41If anyone needs to go, it should be her. Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right
00:35:48here, right now.
00:35:49Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no
00:35:55power here.
00:35:56Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:04later?
00:36:05Oh, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:11Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:18Ladies 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.
00:36:37Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:44on one of them.
00:36:45Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:50No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:56Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:00All right, this is it. He's gonna 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, my daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:24What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:29No.
00:37:34I can't believe you.
00:37:38Casey.
00:37:40Casey.
00:37:42Casey.
00:37:43Casey.
00:37:45Casey.
00:37:46Casey.
00:37:46Casey.
00:37:49Casey.
00:37:50Casey.
00:37:50Casey.
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, insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face.
00:38:08She just committed career suicide.
00:38:10Mr. Reed, your gift for the Lady of the Hour.
00:38:13Ah, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:17Dad, 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.
00:38:48How could I be so blind?
00:38:56What suits you?
00:38:59The guitar and the CEO title.
00:39:03Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:05Casey, I just...
00:39:12I thought you'd stay the same.
00:39:17All of those years...
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?
00:39:52Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:56No, no, look, that's not why I'm here.
00:39:59If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:01I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:02I mean, you gotta understand.
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?
00:40:21I guess, why are you here?
00:40:22Are you here just...
00:40:23Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:26Tank 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.
00:40:41Wait.
00:40:45This...
00:40:46This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:50Why you left me for dead.
00:40:54Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:56Threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:02No, no, Casey.
00:41:02No, no, no.
00:41:03No, actually, 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, oh my god, oh 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.
00:41:49Don'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.
00:41:58Scarlet 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.
00:42:42I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:47All of those years.
00:42:52I've broken the irreplace.
00:43:00Made a twine.
00:43:02Lost in my mind.
00:43:05I'm still missing you.
00:43:09I'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.
00:44:07Well, let'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 not like an instrument, but 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, we'll be together.
00:45:23We can tease each other all day.
00:45:27Until you finally admit that you still love 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, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:04Listen to me.
00:46:05I've been trying to tell you I do not want to be with Scarlet.
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 a hundred million strings.
00:46:23I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:27It's not safe.
00:46:28Casey, you don't need him.
00:46:31He'll hurt you.
00:46:31No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:32I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:36Casey.
00:46:37Casey.
00:46:38Casey!
00:46:41Daisy has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:44I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:58Perfect timing.
00:46:59Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:00Thank you for meeting me on such short notice.
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:06I've been an exception for you.
00:47:08Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:11I don't know what that means, but you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:17They're a big hit online.
00:47:18I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:21Well, I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:26Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:29So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:31Of course.
00:47:35But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:37Why don't we toast first to 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 actually love even more than that?
00:48:14What's that?
00:48:16Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:18My hair.
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:21You really think you can drug me?
00:48:23And then what?
00:48:24Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:26Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:29Not so fast.
00:48:31You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:36Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:38Absolutely.
00:48:39And a fraud.
00:48:42I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:48I want me to be able to sign me when I get read records for myself.
00:48:55Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:57I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:48:58The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:00We'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:04Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:06How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:14You're fine.
00:49:19I'm fine.
00:49:29I'm fine.
00:49:35You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:37I can 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 a leg to stand on, okay?
00:49:50Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:51Jesus.
00:49:53We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:55You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:49:59I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:02The name is Casey Wee.
00:50:05And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:10Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:12I'm not sure of that.
00:50:15Let's go.
00:50:23Let's go.
00:50:27Give me your hand.
00:50:35Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:37Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:38My business is none of your concern.
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:42what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:44Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:46He could have raped you.
00:50:47Yes!
00:50:47Okay!
00:50:48I know!
00:50:50Newsflash.
00:50:50I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:50:53So it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:50:58So stop following me.
00:51:05The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:08Stop following you the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:15And when I've made up for all the danger I put her in.
00:51:20You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:26Yes!
00:51:26Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:32I've been trying to tell you for weeks I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:40But you don't fucking listen.
00:51:42Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:44Isn't that the point?
00:51:56So...
00:51:56What am I supposed to do?
00:51:59Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:08I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:13You were never the side piece.
00:52:16And you know it.
00:52:27Boss!
00:52:28I have news!
00:52:30Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:35Please, stop following me.
00:52:40Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:52Great timing.
00:52:54As always.
00:52:55Why are you even here?
00:52:57Done what you asked.
00:52:58News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:01No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him.
00:53:05His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:07Good.
00:53:08Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:11I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:18I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:20Now that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:22Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:27I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:29There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:31All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see.
00:53:35He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:37Cancelled.
00:53:38Who took him down?
00:53:40Dexter Hayes.
00:53:46He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:48He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:53Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:55For me?
00:53:57Maybe.
00:53:58He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:00Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:07The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:14night.
00:54:16Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:18She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:21She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:24Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:27Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:29Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:32She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:37producer.
00:54:38I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:54:42I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:50You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:53They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:56I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:54:59It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:02The world? Or Dexter?
00:55:07This isn't about him.
00:55:10He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:13Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:16But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:20With the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:22Huh?
00:55:25I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:32You're the best, Dad.
00:55:47Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:55:52How's Dexter?
00:55:54Engaged?
00:55:55Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:01And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:04So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:07She's a musical genius.
00:56:09We need something one-of-a-kind just like her.
00:56:12Of course. I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:15A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:23Please don't touch that.
00:56:25Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:29Ugh. It's you.
00:56:31Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:35Excuse me?
00:56:36You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:39I have to ask you to leave.
00:56:41Now.
00:56:46I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:50I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:53Because of your Nepo baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:56:59Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:00Excuse me?
00:57:02I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee and creative collaborator.
00:57:06And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:10You're right.
00:57:12In that case.
00:57:14You should have this.
00:57:21No!
00:57:26Oh, my God!
00:57:33Oops.
00:57:34Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:36My bad.
00:57:38Are you insane?
00:57:40You just destroyed a million dollar guitar.
00:57:43Here it is! Take this woman away!
00:57:46Hold on just one second.
00:57:49Dexter Hayes? Oh my god.
00:57:52Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:54You need to set up for me?
00:57:56Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:03It's all yours now.
00:58:13Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:17We'll find a better option.
00:58:24Like this one.
00:58:25Beyonce used this on her last album.
00:58:29This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:35Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:40In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:44I'm gonna just...
00:58:47My apologies, my apologies.
00:58:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We saw it first.
00:58:53Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:58:55I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:58:58You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:58:59but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:06How dare you, you little bitch.
00:59:16That's enough.
00:59:19Hi, Dexy.
00:59:23Are you okay?
00:59:25Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:28You need to do something.
00:59:30Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:34about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:37Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:42The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:47You know, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:49I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:57Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
00:59:59I knew you would support me.
01:00:01Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:03You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs,
01:00:07and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:10Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store,
01:00:13how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:16Wait, what?!
01:00:20I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:24Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:28You did this for me?
01:00:30You really think I need a music store?
01:00:33Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all.
01:00:36But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:41Dexter!
01:00:42Are you insane?!
01:00:44She's not even a real musician!
01:00:46And you gave her the entire store?!
01:00:49You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?!
01:00:53Oh, it's... it's okay. Scarlet could have it for free.
01:00:56As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:02Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:05And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:07I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:12You will regret this.
01:01:14Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:17She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:21Thanks, Mom.
01:01:28I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:30It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:34Two.
01:01:35My birthday was months ago.
01:01:37Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet, so...
01:01:40Your gift means nothing.
01:01:44Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:47What secret?
01:01:51Secret?
01:01:52What are you talking about?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Should I tell him the truth?
01:01:59No.
01:02:00That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:07But not anymore.
01:02:10I don't need you.
01:02:21Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:23I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:27Yes, sir.
01:02:30Oh, and one more thing.
01:02:32She's fired.
01:02:35Yes, sir.
01:02:39Dexter, you can't do this! I love you!
01:02:54Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart, you're on in five. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:01Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:05It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:07The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:10I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage!
01:03:15All right, guys. It's time. Let's go.
01:03:18Scarlet!
01:03:32You can't start the show without me.
01:03:38I knew you'd make it.
01:03:39Of course she did.
01:03:40Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:44Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:46You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:48I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:55none.
01:03:55Mm.
01:03:56I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:00Oh.
01:04:01Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:04Break a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:06Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:09Don't choke.
01:04:12Hope you don't choke.
01:04:34The playback's down. The track's gone completely white.
01:04:38You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:44I didn't even make that version.
01:04:46I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks.
01:04:49Go fix this.
01:04:50Now.
01:04:53This is bad.
01:04:54All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:57We're gonna ruin the broadcast, and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:00What are we gonna do?
01:05:02I have an idea.
01:05:05You're Echo, right?
01:05:19I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:26Then prove it.
01:05:28Go ahead.
01:05:28Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:32Come on.
01:05:33You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:35I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:38I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:40I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:43This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:45I must have another file I can play.
01:05:47I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:51Of course.
01:05:52Watch me work my magic.
01:06:12And that's how it's done.
01:06:14Show must go on.
01:06:16Nice try.
01:06:17Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:19You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:22Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:25And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:30Yeah.
01:06:38Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:41That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:06:43Don't listen to her!
01:06:45She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:48And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:52If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:06:56Scarlet! Scarlet!
01:06:57Why would Casey do that?
01:06:59For real?
01:06:59Okay, here...
01:07:00Here, Echo.
01:07:01Okay?
01:07:02So, just fix the track.
01:07:05Yeah.
01:07:06Come on, Echo.
01:07:07What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:17Scarlet!
01:07:18You are our only hope now!
01:07:20You have to fix this!
01:07:22I could!
01:07:23If I had something other than this shoddy,
01:07:25Reed Records music equipment to work with!
01:07:28Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:31Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:33But, it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:35Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hazel?
01:07:39He's a superstar!
01:07:40Echo!
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:42Echo!
01:07:44Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:48Record some many instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:51It's that simple.
01:07:51You know how to do this.
01:07:53You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:57I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:01Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:03I can't let her expose me.
01:08:05Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:09Boop!
01:08:31Is this part of her process?
01:08:32It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:56Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:00Come on Echo!
01:09:01Show them your talent, keep going!
01:09:03Get off the stage!
01:09:05You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:09All right, look.
01:09:12It's done.
01:09:14You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:17You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:19Yeah, I am.
01:09:20That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:24Yeah.
01:09:28Because you know what?
01:09:30Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:36And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:41Read Records.
01:09:44Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes!
01:09:47Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:09:50Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:53There's no saving this song.
01:09:54Now it's over.
01:09:55It's over.
01:10:11Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:15No!
01:10:16No!
01:10:16There's no...
01:10:17There's no other...
01:10:18Hey!
01:10:19It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:29What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:31Mom, Mom, stop!
01:10:34You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:36I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:42If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:45For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:48And if you don't?
01:10:50Will you step down as Read Records' CEO if you fail?
01:10:54Happily.
01:10:55Hmm.
01:10:58Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records' CEO dig her own brain.
01:11:03It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:07Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:10Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:14Right now?
01:11:15Right now?
01:11:22I am not the kind for show.
01:11:29This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:33Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:37This morning's got a sting.
01:11:42Good.
01:11:43Good.
01:11:45Now let's make a hit.
01:11:54Let's fucking go!
01:12:11Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:14I mean, you produced this right, so do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:18I-I-I can't, I don't have-
01:12:20But-
01:12:20You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:24I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:30Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:32That sounds-
01:12:34That sounds-
01:12:34It's-
01:12:35Familiar.
01:12:36I am not the kind for show.
01:12:40This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:44Stop! Stop it!
01:12:58Casey, you're Echo.
01:13:00Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:04This is my song. She just ripped it off.
01:13:07Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:09Don't listen to her.
01:13:12I'm Echo.
01:13:15I didn't even make that version.
01:13:17I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:21Go fix this.
01:13:25Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:31She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:33No, that was me.
01:13:35I already did all the work. She's just taking the credit.
01:13:38I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:41So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:43You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:47Where do I sign?
01:13:49I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:52I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:55$200 million.
01:13:57$200 million?
01:13:58For one song?
01:14:00That's more than our entire album deal. Are you insane?
01:14:03And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:07Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:09And one last thing.
01:14:11I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:17That's ridiculous!
01:14:18Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:20I mean, you don't have to. I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlett could finish the album
01:14:24and Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:27So, what will it be?
01:14:34The clock is ticking.
01:14:37I was wrong about you.
01:14:39You saved Dexter'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 to apologize to her?
01:14:53She ruined everything!
01:14:55Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:56Tell the world the truth.
01:14:57Scarlett?
01:14:59Fine!
01:14:59I'm not Echo.
01:15:01I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:05They are happy!
01:15:09I was wrong about you.
01:15:11You saved Dexter'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 apologize to her?
01:15:25She ruined everything!
01:15:27Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:29Tell the world the truth.
01:15:30Scarlett?
01:15:31Fine!
01:15:32I'm not Echo.
01:15:33I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:37They are happy!
01:15:40They are happy!
01:15:43Wait, that's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter, she manipulated me!
01:15:50You're still my fiancé!
01:15:51You believe-
01:15:51Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:54Fucked fraud and you're a damn liar!
01:15:58Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:01Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:16:03She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:09Our engagement is off.
01:16:11And so is the record.
01:16:34Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:36The album is terminating your contract and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:41Career is over.
01:16:47Got yourself a D.O. case.
01:16:56Here.
01:17:03If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:13Who are you?
01:17:15My back is fast against the wall.
01:17:19I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:25Your name's on fire in my dreams.
01:17:31It's burning through my chains.
01:17:36Who are you?
01:17:38Who are you?
01:17:38Who are you?
01:17:38Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:42Who am I to look like?
01:17:46This mirror shows a thousand places.
01:17:51But you're not open, Kimball.
01:17:54Who are you to tell me never told me how?
01:17:54Oh.
01:17:58Oh.
01:18:12No taboo for long, I believe.
01:18:17if you can't come from me.
01:18:18Too much later.
01:18:52The award-winning genius music producer, Echo.
01:18:55I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:59You are a 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.
01:19:34Percy!
01:19:36Dex, no!
01:19:37No!
01:19:45Dex, no!
01:19:47No!
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?
01:20:27Listen, 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.
01:20:47Clearly, 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 and 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.
01:21:45But for now, all you need is rest.
01:21:49That's it.
01:21:50Okay?
01:21:51Okay.
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.
01:22:20My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:25Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:28I think I have every right to be.
01:22:34Casey, I...
01:22:35Casey, 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?
01:22:47Dan, you 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.
01:23:03We 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 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.
01:23:53And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:56And 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 songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:51You...
01:24:52You'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.
01:25:46I love you.
01:25:49This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:53Then we 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.
01:26:13But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:19So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:21I love you too.
01:26:36I love you too.
01:26:43Just give it up.
01:26:46There will be time I remember to smile, I imagine what we're together.
01:26:54I love you too.
01:27:05I love you too.
01:27:19I love you too.
01:27:24I love you too.
01:27:26I love you too.
01:27:37I love you too.
01:27:45I love you too.
01:27:53I love you too.
01:28:01I love you too.
01:28:06I love you too.
01:28:11I love you too.
01:28:16I love you too.
01:28:18I love you too.
01:28:38I love you too.
01:28:38I love you too.
01:28:43I love you too.
01:28:50I love you.
