Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:24Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:34the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'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.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:08I have no idea what you do to me, K.
00:01:10So you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:22I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:32Good.
00:01:36And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm gonna claim every 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?
00:02:15Nothing, 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.
00:03:10I 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.
00:03:55Fans already love us. Dexter 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 y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:25Shit! The backing mix is corrupted. I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:39What 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.
00:04:57Or 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.
00:05:04But 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. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs. Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:47No?
00:05:57Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:02God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:41Dexter, there's...
00:06:42One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:45Um...
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.
00:07:42O, C, o, C, o, C, o, C, o, C, o, C, o, C.
00:08:03Forever, you're on.
00:08:05At least I know you think.
00:08:06We'll be right.
00:08:06And we'll be right back.
00:08:07Show us your soul.
00:08:09And we'll be right back.
00:08:09We'll go.
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:15The secret feeling I get
00:08:17I know it was when I die
00:08:55I know it was when I die
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
00:09:50Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:09:58Oh my god, Dexie!
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
00:10:18But 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
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:54You promised me
00:10:58That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead, you propose
00:11:03And 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
00:11:19Okay?
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 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
00:11:34Okay?
00:11:35So, so, so that's why
00:11:36What 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
00:12:03How 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
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to 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
00:12:33Your music
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This
00:12:41Is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:46For Dexter's first single 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
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:58Give it back
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:02See what?
00:13:03She's gotten into you
00:13:04I don't
00:13:04I know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexy, baby
00:13:08I know
00:13:09All about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money
00:13:13Without really ever having to work for it
00:13:15She'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?
00:13:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car
00:13:32Please
00:13:38Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:46So please just
00:13:47Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:58Please
00:13:59Please
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
00:14:45On the planet
00:14:46Is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes
00:14:49Popped the question
00:14:50To up and coming singer
00:14:51Scarlet Heart tonight
00:14:52And she said yes
00:14:59Dad
00:15:01I gave Dexter everything
00:15:02I made his career
00:15:04But
00:15:05He doesn't want me
00:15:06He never did
00:15:08What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Heart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:13And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:21Casey
00:15:22Casey
00:15:22Where are you?
00:15:32Looks 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
00:15:42Don't worry Scarlet
00:15:44We 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
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:15:58We're trying to steal him from his soul mate
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him
00:16:04We were in love
00:16:06Or I thought we were
00:16:08We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:15Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:21Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room
00:16:27Come alone
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Heart
00:16:30And we'll spare them
00:16:32Choose your little assistant
00:16:34And they both die
00:16:37You've reached Casey
00:16:38I 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 the concert
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:50Dexter is coming
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
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?
00:17:10God
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
00:17:20No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:23So if Casey dies
00:17:26Then the truth dies with her
00:17:28That's not true
00:17:30First you steal my identity
00:17:32Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:33You're psychotic
00:17:35No, don't worry Casey
00:17:36If you die today
00:17:38Dex 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

00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:17No
00:22:18Casey you don't understand I was trying to

00:23:34Let me explain
00:23:38Scarlet
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes
00:23:40You should have seen it
00:23:42I 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 all she ever cared about was money and power
00:24:06I 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
00:24:19Hmm
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands
00:24:24How could I be so blind
00:24:29Three days from now
00:24:30At the annual music hall of fame gala
00:24:32Announcing you
00:24:34As the new CEO of Reed Records
00:24:36And my daughter
00:24:37The heiress to my empire
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are

00:25:20Alright
00:25:21To finish this song before the release
00:25:23The echo that I know
00:25:24Can put together a perfect studio mix
00:25:26In 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 Scarlett
00:25:34I just gotta ask

00:25:49It's just
00:25:51Your new assistant
00:25:52He's been messing
00:25:54He's messing with my tracks
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage
00:25:57Our new album
00:25:58I mean look
00:26:01Last saved
00:26:02By Max
00:26:03Yeah that's because
00:26:04You don't know
00:26:05Okay you know what
00:26:06Echo would never put her name
00:26:08On garbage like this
00:26:11Mr. Hayes
00:26:12Please listen
00:26:13It's Dexter
00:26:14And I'm sorry
00:26:15But my last assistant
00:26:17Would have never
00:26:18Screamed me over like that
00:26:19You're fired
00:26:27See 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
00:27:04You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
00:27:09All right
00:27:10She broke my heart
00:27:11And she moved on
00:27:12So 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
00:27:37The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:47Look I'm not interested
00:27:49Okay we have a song to finish
00:27:50Dexter
00:27:52You said it yourself
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours
00:27:55We have to go
00:27:56This is a personal invitation
00:27:58From Mr. Ed Reed himself
00:28:01Okay
00:28:02Look
00:28:04I know what you're thinking
00:28:05But 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
00:28:12Lining up to get on their knees
00:28:14And work for a few extra bucks
00:28:15You have to go
00:28:17And you have to impress him
00:28:18Okay
00:28:18He could make or break our careers
00:28:22Okay
00:28:23I guess you're right
00:28:23Of course I am
00:28:27We are the industry's it couple
00:28:29So now
00:28:30Forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:33And start getting ready
00:28:35I mean what was so special about her anyway
00:28:37Her
00:28:39Course
00:28:39Tangled hair
00:28:42Her
00:28:43Dull
00:28:44Crusty skin
00:28:45Or
00:28:46Maybe those
00:28:47Hideous
00:28:49God-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
00:29:04How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:10As the industry's new it couple
00:29:11We're honored
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side
00:29:14Our 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?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:26The heiress to the Reed Mortgage
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:34I 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
00:29:54No fucking way
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:25Casey?
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
00:30:38Why does my heart still ache?
00:30:56Ignore her
00:30:57But instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed
00:30:59So 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
00:31:06And our album will go straight to number one
00:31:09She's right
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:31:13If I want our album to be a hit
00:31:32Scarlet
00:31:32What a terrible surprise
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:37But this party is for the elite
00:31:39With 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
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement
00:31:51Why?
00:31:53So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records 2
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed
00:31:59So don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight
00:32:03Leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:06I'd love to see you try
00:32:11Are you jealous?
00:32:13I loved him
00:32:14And 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
00:32:24But 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
00:32:34Playing 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
00:32:48Hmm
00:32:49They got that right
00:32:50Hmm
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet
00:32:56Is it really me?
00:32:58Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:05How dare you?
00:33:08Careful
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
00:33:17But you have no money
00:33:18And no connections
00:33:19Besides the ones you make in pay-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
00:33:28Or my career
00:33:29Ever again
00:33:30I will get you cancelled so fucking hard
00:33:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:37Mr. Reid
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
00:33:47Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes
00:33:53Of course I can
00:33:54Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:33:58When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:02And the heiress to the Reid record's fortune
00:34:05Well, you know, sir
00:34:06Well, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are working on
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:15And you're a 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
00:34:26It actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:32Well, that would make me forever grateful
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself
00:34:38The new CEO is already here
00:34:52Casey
00:34:53Casey
00:34:54Casey
00:34:55Casey
00:34:56Casey
00:34:59I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:02And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:10For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:12But after what he did to me
00:35:14I 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?
00:35:22Did Ed Reid bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only
00:35:30Yeah
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home
00:35:33But I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:35You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though
00:35:37Has been throwing around nothing
00:35:39But vile slander and empty accusations all night
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
00:35:53Are Mr. Reid himself or the new CEO
00:35:56You have no power here
00:35:57Okay, guys
00:35:59Ed Reid and this new CEO
00:36:02Are about to announce our new album
00:36:03Can 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
00:36:21It's time to announce tonight's special guest
00:36:28Reid Records is the number one largest music label in the world
00:36:34But 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
00:36:41Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine
00:36:52No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:36:58Mr. Reid is looking right at us
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage
00:37:02Alright, this is it
00:37:03He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reid Records
00:37:06I want to introduce
00:37:08The heir to my billion-dollar music empire
00:37:11And the new CEO of Reid Records
00:37:14My princess
00:37:17And the light of my life
00:37:19My daughter
00:37:20Casey Reid
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No
00:37:39Casey
00:37:56That's the Reid 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 Reid Records to her base?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide
00:38:11Mr. Reid, your gift
00:38:13For the lady of the hour
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold
00:38:19Dad, this is too much
00:38:21Well, 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
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me
00:38:34But I didn't know she was hiding who she was
00:38:37Ed Reid was never her sugar daddy
00:38:39He was her father
00:38:40This whole time she was with me for love
00:38:43Not fame
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth
00:38:46And instead of trusting her
00:38:47I left her for another woman
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:58Suits 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 just
00:39:20I just
00:39:21I 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
00:39:46Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I, I
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand
00:40:05I, you'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
00:40:11After 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
00:40:17I was just trying to
00:40:19Look, I
00:40:21Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:24Are 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
00:40:38You might have found out who my father is today
00:40:40But you still have no idea who I am
00:40:43Wait
00:40:47This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me
00:40:53Me
00:40:53For dead
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad
00:40:58Threw me to the curb
00:40:59For the fame
00:41:01The fortune
00:41:02The fans
00:41:03No, no, please
00:41:04No, no, no
00:41:04Actually, I think
00:41:06It'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
00:41:17Read Records
00:41:19Will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes
00:41:22And dropping him as an artist
00:41:29Effective immediately
00:41:30Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
00:41:36You know, I am so glad
00:41:40I never told you who I really was
00:41:42Because if I didn't
00:41:43I might not have ever found out
00:41:44That 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
00:41:50I've always loved you
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter
00:41:54She may be rich
00:41:55But she's just an arrogant nepo baby
00:41:57With no real talent
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo
00:42:00She can produce
00:42:02Wait, wait, Casey
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts
00:42:05With or without Read Records
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her
00:42:08She doesn't understand you
00:42:10Like Scarlet does
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom
00:42:12Stop
00:42:13You're my mom
00:42:14Not my manager
00:42:16All right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this
00:42:39I've known you for years
00:42:44I've thought you'd stay the same
00:42:48All of those years
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:09And I'm still
00:43:13And I'm still
00:43:15I'm still missing you
00:43:43I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:52Casey'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, Dax.
00:44:07Fine.
00:44:09Let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:17Your fiancé 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.
00:44:32In 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.
00:44:44I 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.
00:44:52I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:00You're not like an instrument, but 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 taboids.
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, we'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:45:57You're right, I am like an instrument, the way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:06Listen 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-sized hold to fill and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:30You don't need him.
00:46:32He'll hurt you.
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey.
00:46:40Casey!
00:46:41Casey!
00:46:42Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:46I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:54Oh.
00:46:56Oh.
00:46:58Oh.
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 wanna hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:20I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Wow.
00:47:24Hired to be blown away.
00:47:27Actually, I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking 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 to this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka.
00:48:09But, you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:18Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:20My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:26Force 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 and demand a live performance from THE Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:40Absolutely.
00:48:41And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I get 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 to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:06Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:08How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice.
00:49:14But to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:17You're delusional!
00:49:18Stay away from me!
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:22Hey!
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off me!
00:49:26If I'll break your fucking hands!
00:49:29Dexter Hayes!
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 a sick-ass record together.
00:49:57You kinda wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03The name is K.C. Wynn.
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:12Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:17Let's go.
00:50:25Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:40What the hell do you think would've happened?
00:50:46You have any idea what he could've done to you?
00:50:47He could've raped you.
00:50:48He could've done-
00:50:49Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore!
00:50:54So, it's not your concern, where I am, or what I'm doing.
00:50:59Okay?
00:50:59So stop...
00:51:02following me.
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:09I'll stop following you the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:21You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:28Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks, I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:42But you don't fucking listen.
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So...
00:51:58What am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:10I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:15You were never the side piece.
00:52:18And you know it.
00:52:29Boss! I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:37Please, stop following me.
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:54Great timing.
00:52:56As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:13I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:20I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:22Now that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see.
00:53:37He's been, uh, what do you kids call it? Canceled.
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver? For me?
00:53:58Maybe. He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:09The world-famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:16night.
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:29Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:39producer.
00:54:40I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it.
00:54:44I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world. Or Dexter.
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:18But if you're gonna go as Echo, oh, you're gonna do it right.
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:34You're the best, Dad.
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes! It's so good to see you again.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged.
00:55:56Yes. My future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:06So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:09She's a musical genius.
00:56:11We need something one-of-a-kind just like her.
00:56:13Of course. I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:25Please don't touch that.
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:31Ugh. It's you.
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave now.
00:56:43No.
00:56:48I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:00Hmm. Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:04I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee and creative collaborator.
00:57:08And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:12You're right.
00:57:14In that case.
00:57:15You should have this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:28Oh my God!
00:57:35Oops.
00:57:36Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:38My bad.
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million dollar guitar!
00:57:45Security!
00:57:46Take this woman away!
00:57:48Hold on just one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my God.
00:57:54Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:56You need to set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes. Of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:02Just kidding.
00:58:04It's all yours now.
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:14Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:18We'll find a better option.
00:58:21Mmm.
00:58:22Mmm.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27Beyonce used this on her last album.
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:37Actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:46I'm gonna just...
00:58:49My apologies, my apologies.
00:58:51Apologies, but...
00:58:52No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We saw it first.
00:58:55Look, look. We just want the one guitar.
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:58:59You can pay all you want for the guitar, but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:09How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:21Hi, Dexy.
00:59:23Hi, Dexy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:32Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:48You know, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:00I knew you would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs and I'll pay it, whatever it is,
01:00:10right here and now.
01:00:12Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:29You did this for me?
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all.
01:00:38But, I'm someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter!
01:00:44Are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay, Scarlet could have it for free, as long as she shows us the big hit that she's
01:01:01working on.
01:01:04Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:10I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:13You will regret this.
01:01:16Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:22Thanks, Mom.
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:36Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:39Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:53Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you talking about? What's secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No.
01:02:02That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:09But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24Yeah?
01:02:25I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:29Yes, sir?
01:02:31Oh, and one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:37Yes, sir.
01:02:41Dexter, you can't do this! I love you!
01:02:56Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:07It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage!
01:03:17All right, guys. It's time. Let's go.
01:03:18No.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:34You can't start the show without me.
01:03:40I knew you'd make it.
01:03:41Of course she did.
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:46Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:50I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:56none.
01:03:57Mmm. I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wreck-a-leg, Scarlet.
01:04:07Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:11Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope you don't choke.
01:04:19We'll be back.
01:04:27See?
01:04:35The playback's down.
01:04:37The track's gone, completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version.
01:04:48I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:04:51Go fix this.
01:04:52Now.
01:04:55This is bad.
01:04:56All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58We're going to ruin the broadcast, and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:01What are we going to do?
01:05:04I have an idea.
01:05:05Maria, you're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:29Go ahead.
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:33Come on, you're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:47I must have another file I can play.
01:05:49I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:54Watch me work my magic.
01:06:13And that's how it's done.
01:06:15She almost goes on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:19Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:20You can stop with the gel switch hunt now.
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:27And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're going to have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:06:45Don't listen to her.
01:06:47She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:54If I didn't know any better, I think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real, okay?
01:07:01You're Echo, okay?
01:07:04So, just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:21You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:35But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:37Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:48Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:07:55You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:05I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on, Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:05Get off the stage! You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11All right, look.
01:09:14It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for forever, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:35that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:40as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes!
01:09:49Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving this song.
01:09:56Now, it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:16No! No!
01:10:18There's no other act!
01:10:20Hey!
01:10:20It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:31What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, Mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down
01:10:41as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track,
01:10:45what makes you think you could?
01:10:46For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:51Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily.
01:10:57Hmm.
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO
01:11:03dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties
01:11:07with her track.
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song,
01:11:14just your voice.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:17Right now.
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:31This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:35Lights are low, but I still love.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:47Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:18So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I can't.
01:12:21I don't have much.
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:37You are not the kind for a show.
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:58Casey.
01:13:01You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song.
01:13:08She just ripped it off.
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:11Don't listen to her.
01:13:14I'm Echo.
01:13:17I didn't even make that version.
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me.
01:13:36I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56$200 million.
01:13:58$200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album, and Dexter's career could crash and
01:14:28burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:39I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:52That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything!
01:14:57Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:58Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlett.
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo.
01:15:02I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:11I was wrong about you.
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:16I'm sorry.
01:15:17I was wrong about you.
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:23Apologize to her.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlett.
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo.
01:15:35I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:39They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:45Wait.
01:15:46That's not what I really meant.
01:15:48Dexter.
01:15:50She manipulated me.
01:15:51You're still my fiance.
01:15:53You believe me?
01:15:53Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:56Fucked fraud, and you're a damn liar.
01:16:00Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:16:05She's the only one who ever cared about me.
01:16:08Or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off.
01:16:12And so is the record.
01:16:28No!
01:16:36Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:37The album?
01:16:39Terminating your contract.
01:16:40And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:43Tour is over.
01:16:49You got yourself a deal case.
01:16:58Hit it.
01:17:02Yay!
01:17:05Hey!
01:17:05If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where would we belong
01:17:14My back is passed against the wall
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:33It's burning for my chains
01:17:37Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:41And who am I to live like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:52But you're not open can blind
01:18:19And who are you to tell me why?
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:53Are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:57I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:58And my work speaks for itself
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry
01:19:03And we can't wait to see what you do next Echo
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore
01:19:11You ruined everything
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine
01:19:18I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world
01:19:30But you had to get in my way
01:19:34That won't happen again
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:49Dexter, Dex, stay with me
01:19:51Oh my god
01:19:57Hey, hey, hey
01:19:59You've been here all night
01:20:02You still love her, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life
01:20:06But as soon as I thank him
01:20:09We can move on
01:20:11You know, if you say so
01:20:12But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:20:15Why 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
01:20:24Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you
01:20:27Okay?
01:20:29But without him
01:20:30I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together
01:20:35They made millions believe in love
01:20:38Your love
01:20:40Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:41I mean
01:20:42A love like that burns bright
01:20:44But 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
01:20:55Want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:58And sign him to the label again
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping
01:21:09But 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
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore
01:21:43His life might as well be over
01:21:45Oh, hopefully he'll recover
01:21:47But for now
01:21:48All he needs is rest
01:21:51That's it
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:53Okay
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
01:22:08I will never forgive you
01:22:12Never
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
01:22:36I miss you
01:22:42I miss him too
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through
01:22:46Can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life
01:22:51And
01:22:54I will be forever grateful
01:22:59And in return
01:23:00I'll give you your song for free
01:23:02And
01:23:02We can go our separate ways
01:23:04We can end on a high note
01:23:05No
01:23:06No
01:23:09Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there'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
01:23:47Okay
01:23:48I would never
01:23:49Ever
01:23:50Ever 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
01:23:55And I knew that I would
01:23:56Lose you
01:23:57And I
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that
01:24:00Than losing your life forever
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter
01:24:09I meant it
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else
01:24:13Me neither
01:24:18You're my little muse
01:24:22My pop star
01:24:27Which
01:24:28Reminds me
01:24:32Reed Records
01:24:34Would like to formally
01:24:35Invite you to headline the wildlife list
01:24:39The wildlife festival
01:24:40Is the biggest music stage
01:24:41In the world
01:24:43You saved their CEO
01:24:44You 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
01:24:51Or do any of this
01:24:51If 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
01:24:59Okay
01:25:00I know
01:25:01But
01:25:01None of them compare to how I feel
01:25:04I don't want to be with you
01:25:05For just who you are
01:25:07Or what you have
01:25:07Or any of that stuff
01:25:09I don't even want to sing
01:25:10Or have this career
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second
01:25:12If it meant just being with you
01:25:14That's all I need
01:25:18We do it together
01:25:23I don't have a sound
01:25:24Without you, Dexter Hayes
01:25:26Okay
01:25:29I want us to do this together
01:25:34I love you
01:25:37I love you too
01:25:50This is the biggest cry
01:25:52I've ever seen in my life
01:25:55Then we better give them
01:25:56One hell of a show
01:25:59Yes, ma'am
01:26:09I wrote this song with
01:26:11Casey Reed
01:26:13Who is my echo
01:26:14But more importantly
01:26:15She is
01:26:17Undoubtedly
01:26:17The love of my life
01:26:21So
01:26:21I hope you enjoy
01:26:44I hope you enjoy
01:26:49I remember to smile
01:26:52I imagine
01:26:53We're way together
01:27:07This goes on
01:27:11The stuff in the stockings
01:27:14But I am still walking
01:27:16We're all
01:27:18We're all
01:27:21Was the fool
01:27:22Who I hated
01:27:23Now I'm recreating
01:27:25Every time I
01:27:28Look at the moon
01:27:30I dream of a night
01:27:32That's lost forever
01:27:35Soon
01:27:37You'll see
01:27:39That it's time
01:27:41That it's time for you
01:27:42That it's time for you and me
01:27:43That it's time for you and me
01:28:09You'll see
01:28:09The dream of a night
01:28:10It's time for you and me
01:28:12That it's time for you and me
01:28:15That it's time for you and me
01:28:28That it's time for you and me
01:28:39We're together
