🎥
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.
00:00:45Will 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.
00:01:18I lose control. My little moon.
00:01:24I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:31Good.
00:01:34And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing the song that I
00:01:41wrote to you.
00:01:43And I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim every inch of you, note by note, in
00:01:50front of the whole world.
00:02:06Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:13Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:16Okay.
00:02:18It's time I come clean too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off. And I can
00:02:25finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:32You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:48I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:04I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:07I can't wait to wait to wait to seat me see my Kate.
00:03:22And now for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate.
00:03:29Dexter Hayes!
00:03:35Wait for me, right here?
00:03:39Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:42but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:48A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:53Fans already love us.
00:03:55Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:03:58Scarlet Heart.
00:04:00Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:02She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:06Maybe 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!
00:04:24The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:26I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:28Echo 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 system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:47I'll be right back.
00:04:52There.
00:04:53Your gear from the studio.
00:04:55Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:57Dad!
00:04:58We'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.
00:05:08I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:10But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:13Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:18When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:40Oh, my God.
00:05:42These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:44Is Casey Echo?
00:05:55Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:57Play that song!
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00God, where's Casey?
00:06:01She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:03The show is a disaster.
00:06:04The fans are waiting.
00:06:05Can you please find her?
00:06:06I need her.
00:06:07No, Dexter.
00:06:09I'm the one you need.
00:06:10What?
00:06:19Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:23Are you her?
00:06:25Are 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?
00:06:55Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:06:59Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:01I 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 wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:24At least I thought so.
00:07:33Get ready, Dex.
00:07:35The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:43I'm a man I die.
00:07:48I'm a man I die.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:08:01Every time that I look, I remember the time I saw you, I, one thing to remember you by.
00:08:10The time I looked into your eye
00:08:13The secret feeling again
00:08:15I know I was running out of time
00:09:01I know I was running out of time
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!
00:09:56Yes!
00:09:59Oh my god!
00:10:01Dexie!
00:10:02Yes!
00:10:04Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:09I 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?
00:11:05Okay, Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:09I gave you everything.
00:11:12I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:16I owe her.
00:11:17Okay? 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, so, 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.
00:11:57And 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.
00:12:11Is this what you wanted all along? To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:16To 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.
00:12:26Isn't it?
00:12:29Not loyalty.
00:12:31Just...
00:12:32Your music.
00:12:34What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:37Hmm?
00:12:39This is my notebook full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:47That's my notebook.
00:12:48How 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.
00:12:56Get back!
00:12:58Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:00See what?
00:13:01She's gotten into you.
00:13:02I don't...
00:13:03I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:05Dexie, baby.
00:13:07I know all about girls like her.
00:13:10They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:13She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:16She has been for years.
00:13:18Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:21Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:22Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:24Okay?
00:13:25Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:29Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:36Casey.
00:13:41Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:44So please just...
00:13:45Just tell me the truth.
00:13:47Okay, right now.
00:13:48Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:56Please.
00:13:57Please.
00:14:05The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:08You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:14We're over.
00:14:17Dex.
00:14:20Goodbye.
00:14:21Forever.
00:14:42The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:46Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight, and she said yes.
00:14:59I gave Dex everything.
00:15:01I made his career, but...
00:15:03He doesn't want me.
00:15:05He never did.
00:15:07What happened, Princess?
00:15:09Scarlet Hart.
00:15:10She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:14I'll come get you.
00:15:19Tasty.
00:15:20Tasty.
00:15:21Tasty.
00:15:21Tasty, 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. We won't hurt you.
00:15:44We're your friends, too.
00:15:46We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
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. We 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 is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:20Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:25Dressing room. Come alone.
00:16:27Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:30Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:35You've reached Casey. I 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 a concert.
00:16:46Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:48Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:53You psychos!
00:16:56Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancee?
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 and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:40single 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!
00:17:57Dex!
00:17:58Casey!
00:17:59Dex! Dex!
00:18:01Dexter!
00:18:02Dexter, help me!
00:18:03They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:08Okay guys, let's...
00:18:10Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:12We...
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...
00:18:21Alright?
00:18:22You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:25No, that's not how this works!
00:18:27Dexie!
00:18:29You would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:31We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:34Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me...
00:18:40Did 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, then they both die.
00:18:57I can save Casey, but I...
00:18:59I 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, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:23Choose now or they both die!
00:19:25Dexter!
00:19:26Dexter, please!
00:19:27Think of everything I've done for you!
00:19:29You dumped her!
00:19:30You chose me!
00:19:32Don't let them murder me!
00:19:33That's enough!
00:19:35We're pulling the trigger in three...
00:19:39...two...
00:19:39...one!
00:19:39Okay, okay, okay!
00:19:40I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:44Scarlet, alright?
00:19:45I choose Scarlet.
00:19:50Dexter...
00:19:51I'm gonna faint!
00:19:53I was so scared.
00:19:54He chose Scarlet?
00:19:56Good choice.
00:19:58Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:00Now wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:02You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:04Now you get to be the one who saved your soul mate.
00:20:08And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:11No, no, no, no, no!
00:20:18I guess...
00:20:19...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!
00:20:45Let's go!
00:20:46Okay!
00:20:46Oh, come on!
00:20:47Okay!
00:20:54It's gonna be okay.
00:20:55Okay?!
00:20:56You left me to die!
00:20:58And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:01I was right to walk away!
00:21:04Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:07Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:09They were gonna make me...
00:21:10I'm...
00:21:11Done!
00:21:13Living in your shadow, Dex!
00:21:15Goodbye!
00:21:21Casey, Casey!
00:21:22Hey!
00:21:30Casey!
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 without all this?
00:21:37You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:40Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:21:43You're delusional!
00:21:45He doesn't need you, he has Echo!
00:21:48Yeah...
00:21:49Sure he does!
00:21:50Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes!
00:21:56Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay...
00:22:01And what about you?
00:22:02You'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!
00:22:13You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:16No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:43Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:47Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:49I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl!
00:22:54You're here now.
00:22:55Take me home.
00:22:56Stop!
00:23:08Take me home!
00:23:08Jexar, we take on you, you've already forgave me you!
00:23:11I'm trying to see you!
00:23:11Hold on I'm literally behind your hair!
00:23:13I'm trying to think you gotta do everything you cannot do!
00:23:16You were found!
00:23:17I was trying to!
00:23:18To make it be hard to try!
00:23:32Let me explain!
00:23:37Scarlet.
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.
00:23:52And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:57Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:23:59She'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.
00:24:11No!
00:24:16Forget him, princess.
00:24:18Hmm?
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:23How could I be so blind?

00:24:34Records.

00:29:59K
00:30:18Kasey?
00:30:23Kasey?
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.
00:31:30What 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 of the music industry only.
00:31:39I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:42But the party is 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.
00:32:10Jealous?
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.
00:32:47They got that right.
00:32:50Is 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 in pay
00:33:19-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:20But me?
00:33:21I'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, hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:38Thank 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, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:49Oh, 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.
00:34:03Well, 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,
00:34:32forever grateful.
00:34:34Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:36The new CEO is already here.
00:34:50Casey.
00:34:51Casey.
00:34:53Casey.
00:34:57I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you
00:35:03just showed up here.
00:35:04I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:10But 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. What, you missed me already?
00:35:20Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:23This event is invite only.
00:35:28Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:34You know, Scarlett, 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. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:54You have no power 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?
00:36:04Aw, 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.
00:36:38Someone 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.
00:37:01Alright, this is it. He's gonna announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:04I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:09And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:13My princess.
00:37:15And the light of my life.
00:37:18My daughter.
00:37:19Casey Reed.
00:37:24What?
00:37:29No.
00:37:37Casey.
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 face?
00:38:08She just committed career suicide.
00:38:10Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour.
00:38:14Ugh.
00:38:15That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:18Dad, this is too much.
00:38:20A little something from your old man.
00:38:21And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:24This cannot be happening.
00:38:26She'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?
00:38:58Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:03Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:05Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:19I just...
00:39:20I still miss you.
00:39:31Shouldn't you be licking your fiance'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, 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, I 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?
00:40:21I guess, why, why are you here? Are 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...
00:40:34Loved you.
00:40:35Dexter, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:42Wait...
00:40:45This...
00:40:46This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:50Why...
00:40:50You left...
00:40:51Me...
00:40:52For 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, no!
00:41:03Actually, I think...
00:41:04It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:09Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:13I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:16Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:27Effective immediately.
00:41:29Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:41:35You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:42not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:44Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:49Do you 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. She can produce...
00:42:00Wait, wait! Casey!
00:42:01Casey!
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! Stop!
00:42:12You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:15I'm done talking about this.
00:42:37I've known you for years, I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:46All of those years...
00:42:51I've broken here in the place...
00:42:59I've been a twine, lost in time, I'm still missing you.
00:43:09I'm still missing you.
00:43:14I'm still missing you.
00:43:22I'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.
00:43:51I 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, Dax.
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.
00:44:46I don'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.
00:45:00But 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 rec labels have to say.
00:45:13If 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?
00:46:15I'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 hold to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:27It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:28You don't need him.
00:46:30No, no, 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!
00:46:41Casey 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.
00:47:02Sasha 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.
00:47:14But 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?
00:47:32Of 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...
00:48:10actually
00:48:11love even more than that?
00:48:14What's that?
00:48:16Exposing
00:48:17asshole pervs.
00:48:19My 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
00:48:33and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:35Do 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,
00:48:45no matter how talented you are.
00:48:48I want me to label to sign me.
00:48:50Not when I get read records.
00:48:52Or 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.
00:49:01He'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.
00:49:09Your poor father.
00:49:10He's going to have no choice but to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:15You're delusional.
00:49:16Stay away from me.
00:49:18You're fine.
00:49:19You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:20Hey!
00:49:22Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:25I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:27Dexter Hayes.
00:49:28Huh?
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.
00:49:43And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:45Okay?
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?
00:50:02Her name is K.C. Wynn.
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, what 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!
00:50:47He could have done-
00:50:47Okay!
00:50:48I know!
00:50:49Newsflash!
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.
00:51:08I'll stop following you the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:14And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:20You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:26Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:32I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:35I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:40You 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, what 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 going to 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.
00:53:04His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:07Good.
00:53:08Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:11I'm going to 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
00:53:27shown 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 had out for everyone to see.
00:53:35He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:37Cancelled.
00:53:37Who 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
00:54:12legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night.
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.
00:54:31I mean, she knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't
00:54:36pretending to be a genius producer.
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.
00:55:01The world?
00:55:02Or Dexter?
00:55:06This 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.
00:55:20Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:23Huh?
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.
00:55:56My 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.
00:56:12I 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.
00:56:29Yeah.
00:56:30It's you.
00:56:31Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:35Excuse me?
00:56:37You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:39I have to ask you to leave now.
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' fiancé and creative collaborator.
00:57:06And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:09Yeah.
00:57:10You're right.
00:57:11Uh, in that case, you should have this.
00:57:21No!
00:57:26Oh, my God!
00:57:29What?
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!
00:57:43Security!
00:57:44Take this woman away!
00:57:46Hold on just one second.
00:57:48To-to-to-dexter Hayes?
00:57:49Oh, my God.
00:57:52Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:54You think you set that up for me?
00:57:56Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:57:57Okay.
00:58:00Just kidding.
00:58:03It's all yours now.
00:58:12Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:17We'll find a better option.
00:58:19Mmm.
00:58:21Mmm.
00:58:24Like this one.
00:58:25Beyoncé used this on her last album.
00:58:28This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:33Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:35Hey, actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:39In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:50No, no, no, no, no, 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, but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking
00:59:03on the stage.
00:59:07How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:16That's enough.
00:59:19Hi, Dexie.
00:59:23Are you okay?
00:59:25Dixter, she just insulted your Beyoncé.
00:59:28You need to do something.
00:59:30Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:33by 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 what?
00:59:47Actually, I'm sorry.
00:59:49You're right.
00:59:50I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:56Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hyde.
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, and I'll pay it whatever
01:00:08it is right here and now.
01:00:10Miss Hyde, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar
01:00:15for?
01:00:15Wait, what?
01:00:20I'm sorry.
01:00:21I'm sorry.
01:00:21I'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 know.
01:00:36But I'm someone who cares about you a lot.
01:00:39Why the hell not?
01:00:41Dexter!
01:00:42Are you insane?
01:00:44She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:49You're going to make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:53Oh, it's okay.
01:00:55Scarlet could have it for free, as long as she shows us the big hit that she's working
01:00:59on.
01:01:02Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:05And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:08I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:12You will regret this.
01:01:14Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:16She's just a pretty face, with no talent to back it up.
01:01:21Thanks, Mom.
01:01:27One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:31It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:34Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:37Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:44Did you know I was actually going to 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.
01:02:19It's OK.
01:02:21Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:23OK?
01:02:23I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:25to her collection.
01:02:27Yes, sir?
01:02:30Oh, 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, Ms. Hart, you're on in five.
01:02:57The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:01Did you hear that? Millions of fans are going to 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. Her 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
01:03:54none.
01:03:56I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:00Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:04Wreck-a-leg, Scarlet.
01:04:06Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:09Don't choke.
01:04:11Hope you don't choke.
01:04:33The playback's down.
01:04:36The 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 burn the broadcast, and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:00What are we gonna do?
01:05:02I have an idea.
01:05:04You're Echo, right?
01:05:17Yes, it's true.
01:05:19I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:26Then prove it.
01:05:27Go 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.
01:06:11And 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.
01:06:23Can 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 going to have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:41That means recording the instruments live, looping the...
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?
01:06:58For real.
01:06:59Okay.
01:07:00You're Echo.
01:07:01Okay.
01:07:02So just fix the track.
01:07:05Yeah.
01:07:06Come on, Echo.
01:07:07What?
01:07:07You have performance anxiety?
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:17Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:20You have to fix this.
01:07:21I could if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:28Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:30Oh, 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 Hayes a superstar?
01:07:40Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:46Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:48Record some mini 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.
01:08:31Is 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. Show 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.
01:09:21That 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
01:09:41Reed 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 the song.
01:09:55Now, 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, no, there's no, there's, there's no other, everybody, hey!
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 Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:54Happily.
01:10:55Hmm.
01:10:58Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave.
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 a show.
01:11:29This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:33Lights are low, but I still love.
01:11:37This moment's got a sting.
01:11:42Good.
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?
01:12:16So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:18I can't.
01:12:19I don't have much.
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?
01:12:33That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:35I mean, you are not the kind for a show.
01:12:40This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:44Stop!
01:12:44Stop it!
01:12:45Stop it!
01:12:56Casey.
01:12:59You're Echo.
01:13:00Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:04This is my song.
01:13:06She 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.
01:13:20Go fix this.
01:13:24Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:31She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:33No, that was me.
01:13:34I already did all the work.
01:13:36She's just taking the credit.
01:13:37I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:40So 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.
01:13:56$200 million for one song?
01:13:59That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:01Are 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.
01:14:21I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album, and Dexter's career could crash and
01:14:26burn.
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!
01:15:23Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:25She ruined everything.
01:15:27Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:28Tell the world the truth, Scarlett.
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?
01:15:44Wait, that's not what I really meant.
01:15:47Dexter, she manipulated me.
01:15:49You're still my fiance.
01:15:51Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:54Fuck it, Ron, and you're a damn liar.
01:15:58Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:00Hell, 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, and so is the record.
01:16:34Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:35The album, terminating your contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:41Career's over.
01:16:47Got yourself a deal case.
01:17:01So, if you're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:13My back is pressed 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 wings
01:17:31It's burning for my chains
01:17:36Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:42Who am I to look like?
01:17:46This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:50But you're not all thinking about
01:18:28Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:39Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:48Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:51Are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:55I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:57And my work speaks for itself
01:18:59You are a revolution in the music industry
01:19:01And we can't wait to see what you do next Echo
01:19:06You arrogant fucking whore
01:19:10You ruined everything
01:19:14Dexter was gonna be mine
01:19:16I 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
01:19:36Dex, no!
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
01:20:04But as 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
01:20:13Why 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
01:20:21Casey
01:20:22Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:27But without him
01:20:28I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:31And those two songs you two produced together
01:20:34They made millions believe in love
01:20:36Your love
01:20:38Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:39I mean, a love like that burns bright
01:20:42But 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
01:20:54Want 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
01:21:07But 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
01:21:41His life might as well be over
01:21:43Oh, hopefully he'll recover
01:21:45But for now
01:21:47All he needs 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
01:22:06I will never forgive you
01:22:10Never
01:22:13Bye
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...
01:22:39I miss you
01:22:40I miss him, too
01:22:42But everything we've put each other through
01:22:45Can we really be together again?
01:22:48You saved my life, and...
01:22:52I will be forever grateful
01:22:57And in return, I'll give you your song for free
01:23:00And, um, we can go our separate ways
01:23:02We can end on a high note
01:23:03No
01:23:05No
01:23:07Is that really what you want?
01:23:09To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:18Look, there's something I have to show you
01:23:20Something 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
01:23:43I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:46I would never, ever, ever do that to you
01:23:49I'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
01:23:55And I...
01:23:57But I'd rather risk that
01:23:59Than losing your life forever
01:24:06When I said I loved you, Dexter
01:24:07I 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
01:24:32Would like to formally
01:24:34Invite you to headline the Wildlight List
01:24:37The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage
01:24:40In the world
01:24:41You 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
01:24:50If 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
01:25:05Or what you have
01:25:06Or any of that stuff
01:25:07I don't even want to sing or have this career
01:25:09I'd give it up in a second
01:25:10If it meant just being with you
01:25:13That's all I need
01:25:16We 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
01:25:49This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life
01:25:53Maybe we better give them one hell of a show
01:25:57Yes, ma'am
01:26:08I wrote this song with Casey Reed
01:26:11Who is my echo
01:26:13But more importantly
01:26:14She is undoubtedly the love of my life
01:26:19So, I hope you enjoy
01:26:43Just a little
01:26:45There will be time I remember to smile
01:26:50I imagine what we're together
01:27:06This goes on
01:27:09There's stuff in the stockings
01:27:12But I am still walking
01:27:14And we're all
01:27:16To
01:27:18Was the fool who I hated
01:27:21Now I'm recreated
01:27:24Every time I
01:27:26Look at the moon
01:27:28From a dream of a night
01:27:30That's lost forever
01:27:33Soon
01:27:36You'll see
01:27:37That it's time for you and me
01:27:42That it's time for you and me
01:27:42Cause the best so far
01:27:47Was just a little
01:27:52Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:57I forget where I am
01:27:59Cause the little
01:28:00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:04Yeah
01:28:05I dream of a night
01:28:08That's lost forever
01:28:09Yeah

01:28:13Yeah
01:28:15I dream of a night
01:28:29Every time I
01:28:33Remember to smile
01:28:34I imagine
01:28:36When we're together
01:28:49I know
