Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have. Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:11feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:53I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:00I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:08I can't wait to make you my wife. I will not be my wife.
00:03:14I can't wait to make you my wife. I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:44but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart, Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for you all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dex's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:49I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:00In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:12But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh my god.
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.

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

00:51:13fucking decisions.

00:51:23too interested
00:51:25in my personal life, Dex.

00:51:36I did not
00:51:37want
00:51:38to marry
00:51:39Scarlet.
00:51:41You don't fucking listen.
00:51:43Now you're really
00:51:44starting to piss me off.
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So
00:51:58what am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she

00:52:03and be
00:52:04the pop star's
00:52:05secret
00:52:06side piece again?
00:52:09I should push him away
00:52:11but
00:52:11I can't deny
00:52:13how much I miss his touch.
00:52:14You were never the side piece.

01:13:10Scarlett

01:13:11listen to her
01:13:13I'm Echo
01:13:17I didn't even make that version

01:13:20to send me one of her reject tracks

01:17:59oh
01:17:59oh
01:18:00oh
01:18:01oh
01:18:06oh
01:18:07oh
01:18:10oh
01:18:11oh
01:18:12I love you, I love you.
01:19:07I love you, I love you.
01:19:15I love you, I love you.
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine.
01:19:18I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world.
01:19:29But you have to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Percy!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38No!
01:19:43No!
01:19:47No!
01:19:48No!
01:19:49No!
01:19:49No!
01:19:49No!
01:19:50No!
01:19:50Dex!
01:19:50Dex!
01:19:50Stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey.
01:19:57Hey.
01:19:58Hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so.
01:20:12But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:51Hmm?
01:20:52Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right, he could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:51That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:41I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:43But everything we've put each other through.
01:22:47Can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:06No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:13No.
01:23:15No.
01:23:17No.
01:23:20No.
01:23:20There's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:28Which reminds me...
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:39The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:45You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:25:00I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17We do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:38I love you too.
01:25:50This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:43I love you too.
01:26:52Imagine a world where we're together.
01:27:07This goes on.
01:27:11Stuff in the stockings.
01:27:14But I am still walking.
01:27:16You're all in love.
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated.
01:27:23Now I'm recreated.
01:27:26Every time I look at the moonfall.
01:27:30I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:36Soon you'll see.
01:27:39That it's time for you and me
