00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the Billion
00:00:22Dollar Music Empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:27I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have.
00:00:33Dexter Hayes, the rockstar I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:37I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:42We 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.
00:01:04I am so done hiding you.
00:01:08I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song.
00:01:20You lose control.
00:01:21My little moon.
00:01:25I want you, Dex.
00:01:28I need you.
00:01:32Good.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:41I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:44I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:46I'm gonna claim every inch of you.
00:01:49Note by note.
00:01:51In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:12Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:19It's time I come clean too.
00:02:22Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:29His echo and his Casey.
00:02:33You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:09I 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, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:46he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody.
00:03:54Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart.
00:04:01Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:14Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:30Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the, uh, 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.
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad, we've talked about this. In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:03But 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. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:46Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:26At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:37Next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44I'm a man as I am.
00:07:52I'm a man as I am.
00:08:12The time I looked into your eye.
00:08:15The secret feeling again.
00:08:18I know I was running out of time.
00:08:21Chao.
00:08:24Homestown.
00:08:25.
00:08:26Ooh.
00:08:35Mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh.
00:08:38Ooh, mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh, mmh.
00:08:49Ooh, mmh, mmh.
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.
00:09:37I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:51Oh 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.
00:10:29Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke
00:10:35my heart.
00:10:36What?
00:10:38What?
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and
00:11:04put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Do you love her?
00:11:08Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything.
00:11:14I loved you.
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:18I owe her, okay?
00:11:20I owe her, alright?
00:11:22I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant.
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:32She 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.
00:11:48You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is.
00:11:54You 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.
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:13Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:15To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:19To please your adoring fans?
00:12:21To boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty.
00:12:33Just 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?
00:12:53I'm a musical genius.
00:12:55And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:59Give it back!
00:13:00Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02See, what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't...
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexie, baby.
00:13:09I know all about girls like her.
00:13:12They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:18She has been for years.
00:13:20Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this!
00:13:23Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:25Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car.
00:13:33Please.
00:13:38But, Casey...
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:46So, please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:49Okay, right now.
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:55Please.
00:14:08The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:17We're over.
00:14:20Dex...
00:14:22Goodbye.
00:14:24Forever.
00:14:44The 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.
00:15:00Dad...
00:15:01I gave Dex everything.
00:15:03I made his career, but...
00:15:06He doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.
00:15:09What happened, Princess?
00:15:11Scarlet Hart!
00:15:12She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity!
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:21Casey!
00:15:22Casey!
00:15:23Where are you?
00:15:33It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:36Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:42Let me go!
00:15:43No!
00:15:43Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:45We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your friends too.
00:15:48We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:52We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage!
00:16:00You're trying to steal him from his soulmate!
00:16:03I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:05We were in love.
00:16:07Or...
00:16:08I thought we were.
00:16:10We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:12The only way you'll live tonight...
00:16:15...is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:27Dressing room!
00:16:28Come alone!
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Hart, and we'll spare them.
00:16:33Choose your little assistant, and they both die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey.
00:16:39I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left a concert.
00:16:48Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:51Dexter is coming.
00:16:53We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:56You psychos!
00:16:58Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:03Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:09You fucked him too?
00:17:11God!
00:17:12Our precious Dexter.
00:17:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:17Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:20You don't deserve to live.
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:24So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:29That's not true!
00:17:31First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:34You're psychotic!
00:17:36Oh, don't worry Casey.
00:17:38If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you,
00:17:40and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:53Casey!
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:01Dexter!
00:18:02Dexter!
00:18:04Dexter, help me!
00:18:06They hit me and then they tied me up
00:18:08and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:10Okay guys, let's...
00:18:13Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:15We... we can't do that, Dexter!
00:18:18We're your biggest fans!
00:18:20We're doing this for you!
00:18:22Okay, well if you love me...
00:18:24Alright?
00:18:25You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:28No, that's not how this works!
00:18:30Dexie!
00:18:31You would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:34We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:37Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:39all the memories, all the I love you's you told me...
00:18:43Did they mean anything?
00:18:45You must choose one to live!
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:56They said if I told you Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:00I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:01I have to break her heart.
00:19:04Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:13You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:16And you loved him?
00:19:18You leeched off him for half a decade!
00:19:21If that's what you really think, Dex...
00:19:24Go ahead, make your choice!
00:19:25Choose now or they both die!
00:19:27Dexter!
00:19:28Dexter, please!
00:19:30Think of everything I've done for you!
00:19:32You dumped her!
00:19:33You chose me!
00:19:34Don't let them murder me!
00:19:36That's enough!
00:19:37We're pulling the trigger in 3...
00:19:412...
00:19:421...
00:19:42Okay, okay, okay!
00:19:43I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:46Scarlet, alright?
00:19:47I choose Scarlet.
00:19:53Dexter, I'm gonna faint!
00:19:55I was so scared.
00:19:57He chose Scarlet?
00:19:59Good choice.
00:20:00Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:02Now wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:04You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:07Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:10And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:13No, no, no, no, no!
00:20:20I guess...
00:20:21This is the end.
00:20:27Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:30Put the gun down!
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:48Let's go!
00:20:48Let's go!
00:20:49Okay!
00:20:49Okay!
00:20:51Okay!
00:20:56It's gonna be okay.
00:20:58Okay?!
00:20:58You left me to die!
00:21:01And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:04I was right to walk away!
00:21:06Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:10Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:12They were gonna make me...
00:21:13I'm done!
00:21:15Living in your shadow, Dex!
00:21:18Goodbye!
00:21:22I...
00:21:24Casey!
00:21:24Casey!
00:21:25Hey!
00:21:33Casey!
00:21:34Casey, stop!
00:21:35Please, stop!
00:21:36Please, please!
00:21:37Where are you gonna go?
00:21:38What are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:21:46You're delusional!
00:21:47He doesn't need you!
00:21:49He has Echo!
00:21:50Yeah!
00:21:51Sure he does!
00:21:53Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes!
00:21:59Fame changed me?
00:22:02Okay.
00:22:03And what about you?
00:22:05You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time!
00:22:09I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:15You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:19No!
00:22:19Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:46Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:52So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:57You're here now.
00:22:58Take me home.
00:23:14I was trying to...
00:23:17Casey!
00:23:18I was trying to...
00:23:28Casey!
00:23:33Casey!
00:23:35Let me explain!
00:23:40Scarlet.
00:23:41Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:42You should have seen it.
00:23:44I almost died.
00:23:45And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:49I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:52She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:55Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:00Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:03She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:05All she ever cared about was money and power!
00:24:08I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:10But the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:14No!
00:24:19Forget him, princess.
00:24:21Hmm?
00:24:22You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:26How could I be so blind?
00:24:31Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:37Records.
00:24:38And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:41It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:53My back is pressed.
00:25:01My back is pressed.
00:25:08Not mine!
00:25:11Okay.
00:25:12Guys, cut the track.
00:25:16The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:19Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:25The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:30You can't even fix a simple beat? Or a key?
00:25:33What's going on?
00:25:35Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:38Are you really, Echo?
00:25:43Are you really, Echo?
00:25:46Dexy, of course I am. It's just, your new assistant. He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks. He's obviously
00:25:58trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:00I mean, look.
00:26:03Last saved by Max.
00:26:05Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:26:07Okay, you know what? Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:12Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:15It's Dexter.
00:26:16And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:21You're fired.
00:26:29See it again.
00:26:43See it again.
00:26:45Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:48Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:04We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:11Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:14So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:34Look what we just got. An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year. The Reed Records Music Hall
00:27:41of Fame Gala.
00:27:49Look, I'm not interested, okay? We have a song to finish.
00:27:53Dexter. You said it yourself. They can lay down a track in hours. We have to go. This is a
00:27:58personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:03Okay, look. I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him. He's a billionaire record executive. I'm
00:28:12sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a
00:28:16few extra bucks.
00:28:17You have to go. You have to impress him, okay? He could make or break our careers.
00:28:23Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:25Of course I am.
00:28:27We are the industry's it couple. So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:36I mean, what was so special about her anyway? Her coarse, tangled hair? Her dull, crusty skin? Or maybe those
00:28:49hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:53I'm Echo. I'm the Reed heiress. And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:08How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple? We're honored.
00:29:13And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:18Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:23I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter. The heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:29Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:31I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:34She is Ed Reed's daughter. I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:39Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay? She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:43Look! Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:29:57No fucking way!
00:30:21No fucking way!
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:27Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:32Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking away from him. So, why does my heart
00:30:40still ache?
00:30:56Ignore her, and instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:05All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:10She's right.
00:31:11I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:32Scarlett, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:35I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:38but this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started.
00:31:47I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:52So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records, too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:02And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:04Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How 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.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:49Hmm.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me who's putting on an act, or...?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you!
00:33:07Careful.
00:33:08The new CEO might be watching.
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
00:33:20and pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again,
00:33:29I will get you cancered so fucking hard.
00:33:31Or your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reed.
00:33:37Hi.
00:33:38Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:41You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:44Well, I would really love to put that, um...
00:33:47Well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:50Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:53Got you.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:00is my daughter and the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:04Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that
00:34:09Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:17over the last many decades, I 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.
00:34:27Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with, uh, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:33make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:52Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few
00:35:01days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:05I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:11But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:19What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:30Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile
00:35:39slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:42If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:45Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:49Yeah, right.
00:35:50The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:55You have no power here.
00:35:56Okay, guys.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:03Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:05Oh, Dex.
00:36:07You forgot to say please.
00:36:12Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:18Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:27Reed 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
00:36:44put her name on one of them.
00:36:46Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:50No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:36:59He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:01All right, this is it.
00:37:02He's going to announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:05I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:10The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:13My princess, my princess, and the light of my life.
00:37:18My daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:25What?
00:37:30No.
00:37:38Casey.
00:37:55That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:57Holy 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.
00:38:12For the lady of the hour.
00:38:14Oh, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:18Dad, this is too much.
00:38:20Well, something from your old man.
00:38:21And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:25This cannot be happening.
00:38:27She's a nobody.
00:38:30I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:36Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:38He was her father.
00:38:39This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:43She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:48How could I be so blind?
00:38:56What suits you?
00:38:58Uh, 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 fiancé's wounds?
00:39:34Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:40But, I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:42Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:43If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:45Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:46Why you want me back after finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:52Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:55No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:39:58If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:00I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:02I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:05I lied?
00:40:06Yeah.
00:40:06And 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.
00:40:13You have to believe me, please.
00:40:14I was just trying to...
00:40:17Look, I...
00:40:19Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:20I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:21Are you here just, is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:25Tank my career?
00:40:28Oh, tank your career.
00:40:30I made his career.
00:40:33I loved you.
00:40:35Dexter, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:40Wait.
00:40:45This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:48Why you left me for dead.
00:40:53Sucked up to my dad, threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:01No, no, please.
00:41:01No, no, no.
00:41:02Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:08Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:13I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:15Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:26Effective immediately.
00:41:28Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:34You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:41not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:43Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:45None of this.
00:41:46I don't care about that.
00:41:47I've always loved you.
00:41:48You don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:51She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:56Scarlet is Echo.
00:41:58She can produce his songs.
00:42:00She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:04Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:06She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:09Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:10Stop.
00:42:11You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:14I'm done talking about this.
00:42:35I've known you for years, I thought you'd stay the same all of those years.
00:43:03I'm still missing you.
00:43:07I'm still missing you.
00:43:13I'm still missing you.
00:43:21I'm still missing you
00:43:30I'm still missing you
00:43:39I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:43You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:45I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:49Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:50I never gave up on us.
00:43:52She's got another truth.
00:43:54I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:04Fine.
00:44:06Let's not talk.
00:44:15What's wrong?
00:44:17Your fiance not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:31I'm your former boss now.
00:44:33In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:40I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:44I just want you.
00:44:45And I know that you want me too.
00:44:48Don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:53I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:03You tremble every time we touch.
00:45:10I don't care about the fans.
00:45:13I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:14I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:16If 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.
00:46:00The 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.
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:25I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes size 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.
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.
00:46:40Casey!
00:46:42Daisy has every right to be angry with me
00:46:44after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:59Perfect, Simon.
00:47:00Make 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 been an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:12I 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.
00:47:19I'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 actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:16Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:19My hair.
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:27Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34and demand a live performance from thee, 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,
00:48:46no matter how talented you are.
00:48:49I want me to label to sign me.
00:48:51Not when I can read records.
00:48:53Or myself.
00:48:56Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:00to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos all 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.
00:49:11He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13but to hand you and your company over 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.
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:28Extra heads.
00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:30I'm fine.
00:49:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that.
00:49:40I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:42You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:43And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:50Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:52Jesus.
00:49:53We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:56You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:49:59I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:00God!
00:50:02The name is Casey Ring.
00:50:05And she's the future of the industry
00:50:08that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:11Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:13I'm not sure of that.
00:50:16Let's go.
00:50:24Let's go.
00:50:27Give me your hand.
00:50:35Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:37Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:39Your business is none of your concern.
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:43what 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-
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:48I know!
00:50:50Newsflash!
00:50:51I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:50:53So, it's not your concern
00:50:55where I am
00:50:56or what I'm doing.
00:50:57Okay?
00:50:58So, stop
00:51:00following me.
00:51:05The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:08Stop following you
00:51:10the minute that you
00:51:11stop making stupid
00:51:12fucking decisions.
00:51:15And when I've made it
00:51:16for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:20You're way
00:51:22too interested
00:51:23in 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
00:51:36want
00:51:37to marry
00:51:38Scarlet.
00:51:40You don't fucking listen.
00:51:42And now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:44Isn't that the point?
00:51:47I'm not going to be
00:51:49I'm not going to be
00:51:52I'm not going to be
00:51:55I'm not going to be
00:51:56So, what am I supposed to do?
00:51:59Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:02and be the pop star's
00:52:04secret side piece again?
00:52:08I should push him away
00:52:10but I can't deny
00:52:11how much I miss his touch.
00:52:13You were never the side piece.
00:52:16And you know it.
00:52:26Boss, I have news.
00:52:29Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:34Please, stop following me.
00:52:39Or else it's going to get harder
00:52:41and harder
00:52:42to 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
00:52:59and drug abuse
00:53:00have been leaked to the press.
00:53:01No label, studio, or brand
00:53:03will go anywhere near.
00:53:04His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:06Good.
00:53:07Buy 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
00:53:24but that could have gotten real ugly
00:53:26if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:27I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:29There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:31All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:32dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:35He's been, uh,
00:53:36what do you kids call it?
00:53:36Cancelled.
00:53:37Who took him down?
00:53:39Dexter Hayes.
00:53:45He even bought the rights
00:53:47to Sasha's music.
00:53:48He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:50or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:52Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:55Or me?
00:53:56Maybe.
00:53:57He's not as bad as I thought.
00:53:59Or maybe he should stop
00:54:00interfering himself with my life.
00:54:06The world-famous music producer Echo
00:54:09is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:11at the legendary Universal Music Awards
00:54:13tomorrow night.
00:54:15Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:17She's trying to convince the world
00:54:18she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:21She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:23Sooner or later, Dexter will realize
00:54:24she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:26Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:28Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:31I mean, she knows Dexter
00:54:32wouldn't look at her twice,
00:54:33let alone marry her,
00:54:35if she wasn't pretending
00:54:36to be a genius producer.
00:54:37I don't know how she thinks
00:54:38she's gonna get away with it.
00:54:41I think it's time
00:54:43the world finds out
00:54:44who the real Echo is.
00:54:49You wanna go to the UMAs
00:54:51as Echo?
00:54:52They've invited me every year
00:54:54and I've always refused.
00:54:55I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:54:58It's time the world finds out
00:54:59the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:01The world.
00:55:02Or Dexter.
00:55:06This isn't about him.
00:55:09He made his bed
00:55:10when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:12Well, my daughter deserves
00:55:13all the recognition of the world.
00:55:15But if you're gonna go as Echo,
00:55:17oh, you're gonna do it right.
00:55:19Ha ha, with the best equipment
00:55:21money can buy.
00:55:22Huh?
00:55:24I want people to see
00:55:26my princess
00:55:26for the queen that she is.
00:55:31You're the best, Dad.
00:55:46Mrs. Hayes, it's so good
00:55:49to see you again.
00:55:51How's Dexter?
00:55:53Engaged.
00:55:54Yes, my future daughter-in-law
00:55:56is performing
00:55:57at the Universal Music Awards
00:55:59tomorrow
00:55:59and I'd like to gift her
00:56:01something to mark the occasion.
00:56:03So none of these
00:56:04mass-produced guitars.
00:56:06She's a musical genius.
00:56:08We need something
00:56:09one-of-a-kind
00:56:09just like her.
00:56:11Of course.
00:56:11I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:14A custom
00:56:14Fender Signature
00:56:16Stratocaster.
00:56:20Ah.
00:56:22Please don't touch that.
00:56:24Those instruments
00:56:25are only for our
00:56:26VIP clientele.
00:56:27Ugh, it's you.
00:56:30Get this
00:56:31career-sabotaging
00:56:32stalker
00:56:33out of here.
00:56:34Excuse me?
00:56:36You're disturbing
00:56:37our VIP customers.
00:56:38I have to ask you
00:56:39to leave
00:56:40now.
00:56:44I'm the CEO
00:56:46of Reed Records.
00:56:48I have just as much
00:56:50of a right
00:56:50to be here as you.
00:56:51Because of your
00:56:52Nepo baby connections,
00:56:54we all know
00:56:55money can't buy talent.
00:56:57Tell that to Scarlett.
00:56:59Excuse me?
00:57:00I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:02fiancee
00:57:03and creative collaborator.
00:57:05And you don't really
00:57:06know anything
00:57:06about music.
00:57:08Yeah.
00:57:09You're right.
00:57:10In that case,
00:57:12you should have this.
00:57:24Oh my God!
00:57:27Oh my God!
00:57:27What?
00:57:31Oops.
00:57:32Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:34My bad.
00:57:36Oh!
00:57:37Are you insane?
00:57:39You just destroyed
00:57:40a million dollar guitar.
00:57:42Here it is!
00:57:43Take this woman away!
00:57:45Hold on just one second.
00:57:47Dexter Hayes?
00:57:48Oh my God.
00:57:51Uh, I need to speak
00:57:52to the owner
00:57:52about an offer.
00:57:53You need to set up
00:57:54for me?
00:57:54Yes, of course,
00:57:55Mr. Hayes.
00:57:56Okay.
00:57:59Just kidding.
00:58:01It's all yours now.
00:58:11Scarlett,
00:58:12ignore this
00:58:13wannabe musician.
00:58:15We'll find
00:58:16a better option.
00:58:18Mmm.
00:58:22Like this one.
00:58:24Beyonce used this
00:58:25on her last album.
00:58:27This instrument
00:58:28is worthy of Echo,
00:58:30the genius producer.
00:58:32Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:34Actually, actually,
00:58:35this guitar
00:58:36is no longer available.
00:58:38In fact,
00:58:39my entire collection
00:58:39is on hold
00:58:40for the new owner.
00:58:43I'm gonna just...
00:58:46My apologies,
00:58:46my apologies.
00:58:47Apologies, but...
00:58:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:49We saw it first.
00:58:51Look, look.
00:58:52We just want
00:58:53the one guitar.
00:58:53I'm sure we can come
00:58:54to a generous agreement.
00:58:56You could pay
00:58:56all you want
00:58:57for the guitar,
00:58:57but it's not gonna
00:58:59stop Scarlett
00:59:00from choking
00:59:01on the stage.
00:59:05How dare you,
00:59:07you little bitch!
00:59:14That's enough.
00:59:17Hi, Dusty.
00:59:20Are you okay?
00:59:23Dexter,
00:59:24she just insulted
00:59:25your fiancé.
00:59:27You need to do something.
00:59:28Mom,
00:59:29do you really want
00:59:30to have a conversation
00:59:30right here and now
00:59:31about the current status
00:59:32of my engagement?
00:59:34Scarlett's talent
00:59:35as a producer
00:59:36is the reason
00:59:37you're as famous
00:59:38as you are, Dexter.
00:59:40The least you could do
00:59:41is show her
00:59:42a little respect.
00:59:45You know what?
00:59:45Actually,
00:59:46I'm sorry,
00:59:47you're right.
00:59:48I should
00:59:48show respect
00:59:50to the one person
00:59:51who's always been there
00:59:52for me.
00:59:54Please ring up
00:59:55the guitar
00:59:56for Miss Hunt.
00:59:57I knew you would
00:59:58support me.
00:59:59Mr. Hayes,
00:59:59it's not for sale.
01:00:01You know,
01:00:02why don't you ask
01:00:02the new owner
01:00:03how much it costs
01:00:05and I'll pay it
01:00:05whatever it is
01:00:06right here and now.
01:00:08Miss Reed,
01:00:09as the new owner
01:00:10of the store,
01:00:11how much would you
01:00:12like to charge
01:00:12the guitar for?
01:00:13Wait, what?
01:00:18I'm sorry,
01:00:19I'm the new owner?
01:00:22Consider it
01:00:22a late birthday gift
01:00:23for my former assistant.
01:00:25You did this for me?
01:00:28You really think
01:00:29I need a music store?
01:00:31Well,
01:00:31as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:33you probably don't at all.
01:00:34But I'm someone
01:00:35who cares about you
01:00:36a lot,
01:00:36why the hell not?
01:00:39Dexter!
01:00:40Are you insane?
01:00:42She's not even
01:00:43a real musician
01:00:44and you gave her
01:00:45the entire store?
01:00:46You're gonna make us
01:00:48pay her
01:00:49for a guitar?
01:00:51Oh, it's okay.
01:00:52Scarlett could have it
01:00:53for free
01:00:53as long as she shows us
01:00:55the big hit
01:00:56that she's working on.
01:00:59Casey,
01:01:01I am not stooping
01:01:02to your level.
01:01:03And besides,
01:01:04we're late for hair
01:01:05and makeup.
01:01:06I will talk to you
01:01:07about this later.
01:01:09You will regret this.
01:01:12Casey has done
01:01:13nothing but ruin you.
01:01:14She's just a pretty face.
01:01:16with no talent
01:01:17to back it up.
01:01:18Thanks, Mom.
01:01:24Bye.
01:01:25One,
01:01:26I'm not your assistant
01:01:27anymore.
01:01:28It's Miss Reed
01:01:29and I'm the CEO
01:01:30of Reed Records.
01:01:32Two,
01:01:33my birthday
01:01:34was months ago.
01:01:35Actually,
01:01:35the night that
01:01:36you proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:37so your gift
01:01:38means nothing.
01:01:42Did you know
01:01:42I was actually
01:01:43going to tell you
01:01:44my secret that night?
01:01:45What secret?
01:01:48Secret?
01:01:49Hold on.
01:01:50What are you talking about?
01:01:50What secret?
01:01:54Should I tell him
01:01:55the truth?
01:01:57No.
01:01:57That I wanted
01:01:58to spend every single day
01:01:59of the rest of my life
01:02:00with the help?
01:02:04But not anymore.
01:02:07I don't need you.
01:02:19Don't pay attention
01:02:19to anything she just said.
01:02:20I want you to get
01:02:21the best equipment
01:02:22and the best instruments
01:02:23to her collection.
01:02:24Yes, sir.
01:02:27Oh,
01:02:28one more thing.
01:02:30She's fired.
01:02:32Yes, sir.
01:02:36Dexter,
01:02:37you can't do this.
01:02:38I love you.
01:02:51Mr. Hayes,
01:02:52Ms. Hart,
01:02:53you're on in five.
01:02:54The broadcast
01:02:54will begin live.
01:02:58Did you hear that?
01:02:59Millions of fans
01:03:00are going to be
01:03:01hearing your song.
01:03:02It's exactly
01:03:03what you deserve.
01:03:04The world needs
01:03:05to hear your talent.
01:03:07I can't believe
01:03:08I'm about to perform
01:03:09on the Universal
01:03:10Music Awards stage.
01:03:12All right, guys.
01:03:13It's time.
01:03:13Let's go.
01:03:15Scarlet!
01:03:29You can't start the show
01:03:31without me.
01:03:35I knew you'd make it.
01:03:36Of course she did.
01:03:37Her daddy probably
01:03:38got her a ticket
01:03:38after she cried
01:03:39about being left out.
01:03:41Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:42You know,
01:03:43I'm actually surprised
01:03:44you showed up.
01:03:45I thought it would be
01:03:46too painful for you
01:03:47to witness people
01:03:47with actual talent
01:03:49perform when
01:03:50you yourself
01:03:51have none.
01:03:52Mm.
01:03:53I'm getting
01:03:54a lecture about
01:03:55talent from you.
01:03:57Oh.
01:03:58Guess we'll see
01:03:58who's real
01:03:59and who's fake tonight.
01:04:00Wreck-a-legs, Scarlet.
01:04:02Or should I say
01:04:04Echo?
01:04:06Don't choke.
01:04:08Hope you don't choke.
01:04:30The playback's down.
01:04:32The track's gone.
01:04:33Completely white.
01:04:35You have another
01:04:36version of the track, right?
01:04:40I didn't even
01:04:41make that version.
01:04:42I had to pay
01:04:43Taylor Swift's producer
01:04:44to send me
01:04:44on to her reject tracks.
01:04:46Go fix this.
01:04:47Now.
01:04:50This is bad.
01:04:51All right.
01:04:51Everyone's just out
01:04:52there staring at us.
01:04:53We're gonna burn
01:04:54the broadcast
01:04:54and the label's
01:04:55gonna drop us.
01:04:56What are we gonna do?
01:04:58I have an idea.
01:05:01You're Echo, right?
01:05:14Yes, it's true.
01:05:16I'm Echo,
01:05:17the award-winning producer
01:05:19and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:20longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:22Then prove it.
01:05:24Go ahead.
01:05:25Why don't you mix us
01:05:26a live track right here,
01:05:27right now?
01:05:28Come on.
01:05:29You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:31I mean,
01:05:32this is your chance
01:05:33to show off your talents.
01:05:34I mean, the whole world
01:05:35is watching.
01:05:37I don't know what
01:05:37any of these buttons
01:05:38even do.
01:05:39This bitch is trying
01:05:40to sabotage me.
01:05:42I must have another file
01:05:43I can play.
01:05:43I'll just make it look
01:05:45like I'm mixing
01:05:45in real time.
01:05:47Of course.
01:05:49Watch me work my magic.
01:05:51All right.
01:05:52All right.
01:05:53All right.
01:06:01All right.
01:06:08And that's how it's done.
01:06:10She almost go on.
01:06:11Nice try.
01:06:13Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:15You can stop
01:06:16with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:18Okay.
01:06:19Can you boost the treble
01:06:20on the EQ in the middle
01:06:21and can you pan
01:06:22from stage left
01:06:23to stage right
01:06:23real quick?
01:06:26Yeah.
01:06:34Damn,
01:06:34I guess you're going
01:06:35to have to do
01:06:35with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:37That means
01:06:37recording the instruments
01:06:38live, looping them.
01:06:39Don't listen to her.
01:06:41She doesn't know
01:06:42what it takes
01:06:42to make a track
01:06:43of my caliber.
01:06:44And this isn't
01:06:45the first time
01:06:46one of Dexter's tracks
01:06:47have been corrupted.
01:06:48If I didn't know
01:06:49any better,
01:06:50I'd think you were
01:06:51trying to sabotage her.
01:06:52Scarlet, Scarlet.
01:06:53Why would Casey do that?
01:06:54For real.
01:06:55Okay.
01:06:55You're Echo.
01:06:57Okay.
01:06:58So, just fix the track.
01:07:01Yeah.
01:07:02Come on, Echo.
01:07:03What?
01:07:03You have performance anxiety?
01:07:13Scarlet,
01:07:13you are our only hope now.
01:07:15You have to fix this.
01:07:17I could
01:07:18if I had something
01:07:19other than this shoddy
01:07:20Breed Records
01:07:21music equipment
01:07:22to work with.
01:07:23Casey,
01:07:24if you're such a genius,
01:07:25why don't you fix it?
01:07:26Oh,
01:07:27I actually would,
01:07:28gladly,
01:07:29but it's actually
01:07:29your big night,
01:07:30so why don't you
01:07:31show everyone
01:07:32the brilliant Echo
01:07:33and how you made
01:07:34Dexter Hayes
01:07:34a superstar?
01:07:35Echo!
01:07:36Echo!
01:07:37Echo!
01:07:38Echo!
01:07:39Echo!
01:07:40Echo!
01:07:41Just your Echo,
01:07:43okay?
01:07:44Record some MIDI instruments,
01:07:45lay them down,
01:07:46make a track.
01:07:46It's that simple.
01:07:47You know how to do this.
01:07:49You really think
01:07:50your fiancé
01:07:51is going to be able
01:07:51to fix this show?
01:07:52I mean,
01:07:53if she goes down,
01:07:54you go down with her.
01:07:57Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:07:59I can't let her expose me.
01:08:00Not when I'm so close
01:08:02to marrying Dexter
01:08:02and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:05Boop!
01:08:07Boop!
01:08:26Is this part of her process?
01:08:28It would take a true genius
01:08:29to make that racket
01:08:30sound like music.
01:08:51Oh my god,
01:08:53is Scarlet Heart
01:08:54tone deaf?
01:08:55Come on, Echo.
01:08:57Show them your talent.
01:08:58Keep going.
01:08:58Get off the stage!
01:09:00You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:04All right, look.
01:09:07It's done.
01:09:09You're really going to give up
01:09:10that easily, Dex?
01:09:12You're going to throw it
01:09:13all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:14Yeah, I am.
01:09:16That whole career
01:09:17that I fought for
01:09:18for however,
01:09:19how many years?
01:09:20Yeah.
01:09:23Because you know what?
01:09:25Someone that I was close to
01:09:26once told me
01:09:28that there's a lot more
01:09:29to life than just your career.
01:09:31And who knows,
01:09:32maybe I can get
01:09:33a cool new gig
01:09:33as a personal assistant
01:09:35for the new CEO
01:09:36of Reed Records.
01:09:39Dexter,
01:09:40stop it
01:09:40with those awful jokes.
01:09:42Your entire life's work
01:09:44is on the line.
01:09:45Mom,
01:09:46you heard the track, okay?
01:09:48There's no saving this song.
01:09:49Now it's over.
01:09:50It's over.
01:10:05Well,
01:10:06I guess it's time
01:10:07for the next act
01:10:08of this show.
01:10:10No, no.
01:10:11There's no,
01:10:12there's no other...
01:10:13Hey!
01:10:14It's time to let
01:10:15a real musician
01:10:16take the stage.
01:10:24What the hell
01:10:25do you think
01:10:25you're doing?
01:10:26Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:28You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:31I mean,
01:10:32you can stay
01:10:33unless you want to go down
01:10:34as the worst performer
01:10:35in UMA history.
01:10:36If I couldn't mix
01:10:37a whole live track,
01:10:38what makes you think
01:10:39you could?
01:10:40For one,
01:10:41I know what I'm doing.
01:10:43And if you don't?
01:10:45Will you step down
01:10:46as Reed Records CEO
01:10:47if you fail?
01:10:49Happily.
01:10:50Hmm.
01:10:53Everyone,
01:10:54we're about to watch
01:10:55the Reed Records CEO
01:10:56dig her own grave.
01:10:57It seems like Echo
01:10:58is having technical difficulties
01:11:00with her track.
01:11:02Since we're live,
01:11:03let's make something new.
01:11:05Dexter,
01:11:05sing me the first line
01:11:06of your song,
01:11:07just your voice.
01:11:09Right now?
01:11:09I know.
01:11:27Good.
01:11:40Now let's make a hit.
01:11:49Let's fucking go!
01:12:05Wait,
01:12:06what is she doing?
01:12:09I mean,
01:12:10you produced this,
01:12:11right?
01:12:11So do you want to
01:12:11go ahead and take over?
01:12:13I can't.
01:12:14I don't have much.
01:12:15You don't need anything
01:12:16except for a band
01:12:17and raw talent.
01:12:19I mean,
01:12:19you are a musician,
01:12:20right?
01:12:24Then when is Casey Reed
01:12:26a musical genius?
01:12:27That sound,
01:12:28it's familiar.
01:12:29You're not the cut,
01:12:32for sure.
01:12:34This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:38Stop!
01:12:39Stop it!
01:12:50Casey.
01:12:53You're Echo.
01:12:54Does this mean Casey Reed
01:12:57is Echo?
01:12:59This is my song.
01:13:00She just ripped it off.
01:13:01Who's stealing now,
01:13:03Scarlet?
01:13:03Don't listen to her.
01:13:06I'm Echo.
01:13:10I didn't even make
01:13:11that version.
01:13:11I had to pay Taylor Swift's
01:13:13producer to send me
01:13:13one of her reject tracks.
01:13:15Go fix this.
01:13:19Now everyone knows
01:13:20the truth.
01:13:25She's the one
01:13:26that saved the song.
01:13:27No,
01:13:27that was me.
01:13:28I already did all the work.
01:13:30She's just
01:13:30taking the credit.
01:13:31I had to mix
01:13:32the track live,
01:13:34Dexter,
01:13:34so that makes it
01:13:35my intellectual property.
01:13:37You're welcome
01:13:38to put it on your next album,
01:13:39but you're gonna have
01:13:40to pay me for it.
01:13:41Where do I sign?
01:13:42I don't think
01:13:43you could afford my fee.
01:13:46I think you might
01:13:46just be surprised.
01:13:48$200 million.
01:13:50$200 million?
01:13:52For one song?
01:13:53That's more than
01:13:54our entire album deal.
01:13:55Are you insane?
01:13:56And I want
01:13:58my name to be credited.
01:14:01Bad deal,
01:14:02Miss Reed.
01:14:03And one last thing.
01:14:05I want
01:14:06a public apology
01:14:07from Scarlet Heart
01:14:09and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:10That's ridiculous!
01:14:12Why should we
01:14:12apologize to you?
01:14:14I mean,
01:14:14you don't have to.
01:14:15I could just
01:14:16go ahead and leave
01:14:16and then Scarlet
01:14:17could finish the album
01:14:18and Dexter's career
01:14:19could crash and burn,
01:14:20so what will it be?
01:14:27The clock is ticking.
01:14:31I was wrong about you.
01:14:32You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:36I'm sorry.
01:14:39And you?
01:14:41Do it.
01:14:42Apologize to her.
01:14:43That bitch!
01:14:45Why do I have to
01:14:45apologize to her?
01:14:47She ruined everything!
01:14:49Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:50Tell the world the truth.
01:14:51Scarlet?
01:14:52Fine!
01:14:53I'm not Echo!
01:14:55I pretended
01:14:55and I never wrote
01:14:56or produced
01:14:57any of Dexter's songs!
01:14:58They are happy?
01:15:01They are happy?
01:15:04Wait,
01:15:05that's not
01:15:06what I really meant!
01:15:08Dexter!
01:15:09She manipulated me!
01:15:10You're still my fiancé!
01:15:12You believe-
01:15:12Scarlet,
01:15:13you are exactly
01:15:14what we all see.
01:15:15You're fucking fraud
01:15:16and you're a damn liar!
01:15:18Casey
01:15:19is the one
01:15:20who built my career.
01:15:21Hell,
01:15:22she's the one
01:15:22who saved the damn song!
01:15:24She's the only one
01:15:26who ever cared about me
01:15:27or loved me.
01:15:29Our engagement
01:15:30is off
01:15:31and so
01:15:32is the record.
01:15:55Please don't cancel
01:15:56the album!
01:15:57The album?
01:15:58Terminating a contract
01:15:59and blacklisting you
01:16:00from the industry.
01:16:02Career is over.
01:16:08Got yourself
01:16:09a DL case.
01:16:18Hit it.
01:16:24If we're not here
01:16:27for long
01:16:28tell me
01:16:31where
01:16:31would we
01:16:33belong?
01:16:35My back is
01:16:36passed
01:16:37against the wall
01:16:40I need you to know
01:16:43I'm not afraid
01:16:44to fall
01:16:46Your name's on fire
01:16:49in my wings
01:16:52It's burning
01:16:53for my chains
01:16:57Who are you
01:16:59to tell me
01:16:59to tell me why
01:17:03Who am I
01:17:05to look like?
01:17:08This mirror
01:17:09shows
01:17:09a thousand
01:17:10phases
01:17:11But none of them
01:17:14can burn
01:17:15if you're
01:17:15I know
01:17:16what's in the world
01:17:17I know
01:17:19I know
01:17:20what's in the world
01:17:20and not
01:17:20what's in it
01:17:22and I know
01:17:23what's in it
01:17:27and I know
01:17:28what's in it
01:17:35It's a very good thing
01:17:36to tell me
01:17:55Oh
01:18:09Miss Reed the whole world wants to know are you the award-winning genius music producer echo?
01:18:16I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself
01:18:19You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next echo
01:18:27You arrogant fucking whore you ruined everything
01:18:34Dexter was gonna be mine. I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world
01:18:48But you had to get in my way
01:18:53That won't happen again
01:18:56Dex no
01:19:06Oh
01:19:07No, no
01:19:09Dex stay with me
01:19:15Hey, hey, hey you've been here all night
01:19:21You still love him, don't you
01:19:24Dexter saved my life, but
01:19:27As soon as I thank him we can move on
01:19:30You know if you say so, but if you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:19:35save you
01:19:36It doesn't matter now
01:19:38Things will never return back to how they were before
01:19:41Casey
01:19:43Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:47I said, but without him I would have lost my baby girl
01:19:51And those two songs you two produced together
01:19:54They made millions believe in love
01:19:56Your love
01:19:58Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:00I mean
01:20:01A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever
01:20:07Clearly Dexter never stopped caring about you
01:20:09Maybe your love story isn't over
01:20:12The other Reed Records executives
01:20:15Want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again
01:20:19You know if our CEO approves
01:20:27Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now
01:20:34Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel princess
01:20:54It was a close call
01:20:56One centimeter to the right
01:20:57He could have punctured his lung
01:20:59If Dex couldn't sing anymore his life might as well be over
01:21:03Oh, hopefully he'll recover
01:21:06But for now all he need is rest
01:21:09That's it, okay?
01:21:17What is wrong with you Dexter?
01:21:21How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:25If you don't make it through this I will never forgive you
01:21:30Never
01:21:34Bye
01:21:40I got you beautiful
01:21:45Why are you still mad at me?
01:21:48I think I have every right to be
01:21:54Casey, I
01:21:55I miss you
01:22:00I miss him too
01:22:02But everything we've put each other through
01:22:05Can we really be together again?
01:22:08You saved my life and
01:22:13I will be forever grateful
01:22:17And in return I'll give you your song for free
01:22:20And um, we can go our separate ways
01:22:22We can end on a high note
01:22:23No
01:22:24Listen, no
01:22:27Is that really what you want?
01:22:29To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:38But there's something I have to show you
01:22:40Something I've been trying to show you
01:22:55That horrible night when I chose Scarlet
01:22:59I only did it because I had to
01:23:01They forced you to choose her
01:23:03I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:06I would never, ever, ever do that to you
01:23:09I'd choose you a million times over
01:23:12And I knew that I'd break your heart
01:23:13And I knew that I would lose you
01:23:15And I
01:23:17But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever
01:23:25When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it
01:23:29I don't want to be with anyone else
01:23:32Me neither
01:23:37You're my little muse
01:23:41My pop star
01:23:46Which reminds me
01:23:50Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the wildlands
01:23:57The wildlife festival is the biggest music stage in the world
01:24:01You saved their CEO
01:24:03You deserve it
01:24:04You're the reason I sing
01:24:06You're the reason I live
01:24:07I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you
01:24:10You
01:24:12You're my world, Casey
01:24:16I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:18I know
01:24:19But none of them compare to how I feel
01:24:22I don't want to be with you for just who you are
01:24:25Or what you have or any of that stuff
01:24:27I don't even want to sing or have this career
01:24:29I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you
01:24:33That's all I need
01:24:36We do it together
01:24:41I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes
01:24:44Okay
01:24:47I want us to do this together
01:24:52I love you
01:24:55I love you too
01:25:09This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life
01:25:13Then we better give them one hell of a show
01:25:17Yes, ma'am
01:25:27I wrote this song with Casey Reed
01:25:31Who is my echo, but more importantly she is
01:25:35Undoubtedly the love of my life
01:25:39So I hope you enjoy
01:25:56And you
01:26:02Can't be afraid of your how I feel
01:26:06And I love you too
01:26:07Give us the love of my life
01:26:08Yes, ma'am
01:26:09Remember to smile
01:26:10I'm
01:26:11Imagine what
01:26:12We're together
01:26:26This goes on
01:26:29The stuff in the stockings
01:26:32But I am still walking
01:26:34But all I do
01:26:38Was the fool who I hated
01:26:41Now I'm recreating
01:26:43Every time I look at the moonfall
01:26:48I dream of the night
01:26:50It's lost forever
01:26:54Soon you'll see
01:26:57That it's time for you and me
01:27:02Cause the best so far
01:27:06We're just a little
01:27:12Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:16I forget where I am
01:27:19Just a little
01:27:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:26I dream of a night
01:27:28It's lost forever
01:27:29Yeah, yeah
01:27:36I'm taking and talking
01:27:38But I will be watching
01:27:44The mirror in heaven
01:27:47My heart is still breathing
01:27:49Every time I remember to smile
01:27:54I imagine the world
01:27:56We're together
01:28:07I know it feels like
01:28:11I know it feels like
01:28:15I know it feels like
01:28:17I hope that you got this
01:28:21All that you wanted
01:28:24Is on the other side
