Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records. The billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:04I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:10feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. My little man.
00:01:25I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35Because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff. Okay.
00:02:19It'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.
00:02:33You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:51Wait.
00:02:59Hold on, lady.
00:03:02What else?
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
00:03:45he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:54Fans 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.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit! 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.
00:04:38What 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...
00:04:48I'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. You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight. But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:14Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:41Oh, my God. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:45Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:05:58Play Dexter! Play Dexter!
00:06:01God, 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.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:20This is Echo's novel.
00:06:24Are 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...
00:06:41One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:45Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:53All 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.
00:07:06Thanks.
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.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36And next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44I'm...
00:07:45I'm...
00:07:47I'm...
00:07:47I'm...
00:07:50I'm...
00:07:51I'm...
00:07:51I'm...
00:07:52I'm...
00:07:55I'm...
00:07:58I'm...
00:08:01I'm...
00:08:02Every time that I look, I remember the time I saw you, I...
00:08:08One thing to remember you buy
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feeling again
00:08:16I know I was when I died
00:08:54I know I was when I died
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:36I loved her
00:09:38And she betrayed me
00:09:49Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:56Yes!
00:09:58Oh my god!
00:10:02Dexie!
00:10:03Yes!
00:10:05Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:09I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:17But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:24It 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
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:52You promised me
00:10:57That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:10:59But instead, you proposed and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:09I gave you everything
00:11:13I loved you
00:11:15I loved you
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her
00:11:18Okay, I owe her
00:11:21Alright, I don't
00:11:21You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:27What has she ever done for you?
00:11:29Scarlet produced my career
00:11:31She made me who I am today
00:11:33Okay, so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is
00:11:52You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:11:57And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:02How could you believe her lies?
00:12:04Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:08You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:11Is 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
00:12:27Isn't it?
00:12:30Not loyalty
00:12:33Just your music
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:45For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:48That's my notebook
00:12:49How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius
00:12:53And you're just
00:12:55Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:57Give it back
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:01Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't
00:13:04I know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexter, baby
00:13:08I know
00:13:09All about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money
00:13:12Without really ever having to work for it
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:18Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:23Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:25Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car
00:13:31Please
00:13:37Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:44So please just
00:13:46Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:54Please
00:13:58Please
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway
00:14:15We're over
00:14:17Dex
00:14:21Goodbye
00:14:22Forever
00:14:43The hottest rock star
00:14:44On the planet
00:14:45Is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes
00:14:48Popped the question
00:14:49To up and coming singer
00:14:50Scarlet Hart tonight
00:14:51And she said yes
00:14:58Dad
00:15:00I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career
00:15:04But
00:15:05He doesn't want me
00:15:06He never did
00:15:07What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:12And now she's trying
00:15:13To steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:20Casey
00:15:21Casey, where are you?
00:15:32Looks like Dexter's whore
00:15:33Is awake
00:15:34Let's see how his future wife
00:15:36Feels about you seducing her man
00:15:39Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:43We won't hurt you
00:15:45We're your friends, too
00:15:46We've only shipped
00:15:48Dexter Hayes
00:15:49And Scarlet Hart
00:15:50We're just trying to teach
00:15:52This filthy skink
00:15:53A lesson
00:15:54We saw you
00:15:56Kissing Dexter
00:15:57Backstage
00:15:58You're trying to
00:15:59Steal him
00:16:00From his soulmate
00:16:01I 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
00:16:14Is 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
00:16:31Choose your little assistant
00:16:33And they both die
00:16:36You've reached Casey
00:16:37I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:44Casey?
00:16:45So she never left a concert
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:50Dexter is coming
00:16:51We'll see who his true love is
00:16:54You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:02Obviously not
00:17:03She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:07You fucked him too?
00:17:09God
00:17:10Our precious Dexter
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:15Girls 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
00:17:25Then the truth dies with her
00:17:27That's not true
00:17:29First you steal my identity
00:17:31Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:33You're psychotic
00:17:34No, don't worry Casey
00:17:36If you die today
00:17:37Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:39And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:43You're crazier than they are
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:51Casey
00:17:52Dex
00:17:58Dex
00:17:59Dex
00:18:00Dex

00:18:02Dexter
00:18:03Dexter help me
00:18:04They hit me
00:18:05They hit me
00:18:05And then they tied me up
00:18:06And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:09Okay guys
00:18:10Let's
00:18:11Let's just put the guns down
00:18:13Okay?
00:18:14We
00:18:14We can't do that Dexter
00:18:16We're your biggest fans
00:18:18We're doing this for you
00:18:20Okay
00:18:21Well if you love me
00:18:23Alright
00:18:23You'll put the gun down
00:18:25And then let these two go
00:18:26Please
00:18:26No
00:18:27That's not how this works
00:18:29Dexie
00:18:29You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:32We're engaged now
00:18:34You can't let me die
00:18:35Dex
00:18:36All the love we ever had
00:18:38All the memories
00:18:39All the I love you's you told me
00:18:41Did they mean anything?
00:18:43You must choose one to live
00:18:46Will it be your future wife?
00:18:49Or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet
00:18:57Then they both die
00:18:58I can save Casey
00:18:59But I
00:19:00I have to break her heart
00:19:02Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:14And you loved him?
00:19:16You leeched off him
00:19:18For half a decade
00:19:19If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:22Go ahead
00:19:23Make your choice
00:19:24Choose now or they both die
00:19:26Dexter

00:19:30You dumped her
00:19:31You chose me

00:19:51Dexter
00:19:52I'm gonna faint
00:19:54I was so scared
00:19:55He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice
00:19:58Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:01Now wait a minute
00:20:02You told me that
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:05Now you get to be the one
00:20:07Who saved your soulmate
00:20:09And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no

00:20:20This is the end
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter

00:20:59And for the record
00:21:00I never needed your money
00:21:02I was right to walk away
00:21:04Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:08Look, Casey
00:21:09You don't understand, alright
00:21:10They were gonna make me
00:21:11I'm done
00:21:14Living in your shadow, Dex
00:21:16Goodbye
00:21:22Casey, Casey
00:21:23Hey
00:21:31Casey
00:21:32Casey, stop
00:21:33Please, stop
00:21:34Please, please
00:21:35We're gonna come
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:41Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:44You're delusional
00:21:45He doesn't need you
00:21:47He has Echo
00:21:48Yeah
00:21:50Sure he does
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:21:57Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay
00:22:01And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:13You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:17No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to
00:22:44Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:50So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:22:55You're here now
00:22:56Take me home
00:22:57You're the one that I did
00:23:04Will you ask?
00:23:04Hey, look at that
00:23:08We need
00:23:09Dexter, we can't Numelian
00:23:11Grace Tag
00:23:14I'm trying to
00:23:15Uhну
00:23:15Belle, you have everything you need
00:23:16I was trying to
00:23:18Ahh
00:23:18I was trying to
00:23:19river
00:23:19Make sure she's
00:23:20Herausforder
00:23:27def
00:23:27KC!
00:23:31KC!
00:23:32KC!
00:23:33KC!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:40You should have seen it.
00:23:41I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:05I thought KC loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:28Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:35Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:50My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:01We're gonna be so好了.
00:25:07Noo!
00:25:09Ok, guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17But guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:22The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:27You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:35Are you really Echo?
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:49It's just your new assistant.
00:25:52He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:10Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never been screaming over like that.
00:26:19You're fine.
00:26:27Let's do it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:46Writing 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, she broke my heart and 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.
00:27:48Okay, 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.
00:27:54We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:09I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:21Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:23Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:37Her coarse tangled hair or her dull crusty skin or maybe those hideous god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:06How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:16Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:27Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:39She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:41Look!
00:29:42Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:25Hey, Dex.
00:30:27Long time no see.
00:30:31Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:34I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:55Ignore her.
00:30:56And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:01You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:31Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is for the
00:31:38elite of the music industry only.
00:31:40I 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?
00:31:52So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:55I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight.
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, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:16How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:20You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:29I 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?
00:32:41Probably out whoring herself to old men, just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm, they got that right.
00:32:50Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:53Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:55Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:01Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:07Careful.
00:33:08The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:20-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 canceled so fucking hard,
00:33:32your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reed, hi, Dexter 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.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:33:57when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:01and the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um,
00:34:06well, you may or may not have heard about, uh,
00:34:08the record that Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing,
00:34:15and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:18I 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, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:59I've been trying to call you the last few days,
00:35:02and, well, I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:03that 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
00:35:18for 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,
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
00:35:38but vile slander
00:35:41and empty accusations all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:45Unless you want me
00:35:46to expose your lies to Dexter
00:35:48right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones who can remove me
00:35:53are Mr. Reed himself
00:35:54or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:36:01are 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?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:20it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:27Reed Records is the number one largest music label
00:36:32in the world, but tonight
00:36:34I want to introduce you
00:36:36to someone who's more precious to me
00:36:38than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano,
00:36:41who has written hundreds of songs
00:36:43and never put her name on one of them
00:36:46because she never wanted to gain fame
00:36:49through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned
00:36:55who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:36:59He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:03He's going to announce
00:37:04that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce
00:37:08the heir to my billion-dollar music empire
00:37:11and the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess
00:37:17and the light of my life,
00:37:19my daughter,
00:37:20Casey Reed.
00:37:25What?
00:37:27What?
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:57Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:00She's the daughter
00:38:01of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional,
00:38:05insulting the new CEO
00:38:07of Reed Records to her base.
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:11Mr. Reed, your gift
00:38:12for the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Oh, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad, this is too much.
00:38:21Well, something from your old man
00:38:22and now Dexter will see
00:38:23that you're worth more
00:38:24than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:31I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me,
00:38:34but I didn't know
00:38:35she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:40This whole time,
00:38:41she was with me for love,
00:38:42not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth,
00:38:45and instead of trusting her,
00:38:47I left her for another woman.
00:38:48How could I be so blind?
00:38:58Suits you?
00:38:59Uh, the, um,
00:39:01guitar and, uh,
00:39:03CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say
00:39:05you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I, look,
00:39:08I just...
00:39:20I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking
00:39:33your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing she just insulted
00:39:37the CEO of the most powerful
00:39:38music company
00:39:39has got to hurt,
00:39:41but I mean,
00:39:41you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:44If you just let me explain,
00:39:46I promise...
00:39:46Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:47Why 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,
00:39:58that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you,
00:40:01I, I...
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand,
00:40:05I...
00:40:05You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied.
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:08And what would you call
00:40:09getting engaged to Scarlet
00:40:10after promising to put a ring
00:40:11on my finger?
00:40:12I didn't want
00:40:13any of that to happen.
00:40:15You have to believe me, please.
00:40:16I was just trying to...
00:40:18Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess what, why,
00:40:22why are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way
00:40:25to get revenge?
00:40:26Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, tank your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:37You might have found out
00:40:38who my father is today,
00:40:40but you still have no idea
00:40:41who I am.
00:40:42Wait.
00:40:46This...
00:40:47This is why you proposed
00:40:48to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why...
00:40:51You left me...
00:40:53For dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:57Threw me to the curb.
00:40:59For the fame.
00:41:01The fortune.
00:41:02The fans.
00:41:03No, no.
00:41:03Please...
00:41:03No, no, no.
00:41:04Actually, I think...
00:41:06It's time to make
00:41:06my first decision
00:41:07as the new CEO.
00:41:10Can I get everyone's
00:41:11attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone
00:41:16is having fun.
00:41:17Reed Records
00:41:18will be ending
00:41:19its contract
00:41:20with Dexter Hayes
00:41:22and dropping him
00:41:23as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:30Oh, my God.
00:41:31Oh, my God.
00:41:32Oh, my God.
00:41:36You know,
00:41:37I am so glad
00:41:39I never told you
00:41:41who I really was
00:41:42because if I didn't,
00:41:43I might not have ever
00:41:43found out that you
00:41:44don't really love me
00:41:45for me.
00:41:46Casey,
00:41:46none of that is true,
00:41:47okay?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:48I don't care about that.
00:41:49I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing
00:41:51with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:53She may be rich,
00:41:55but she's just
00:41:55an arrogant nepo baby
00:41:57with no real talent.
00:41:58Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00She can produce
00:42:01songs.
00:42:02She can get you
00:42:03to the top of the charts
00:42:04with or without
00:42:05Reed Records.
00:42:06Dexter,
00:42:07you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand
00:42:09you like 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
00:42:17about this.
00:42:38I've known you for years.
00:42:43I thought you were facing
00:42:47all of those years.
00:42:52I'm broken there, babe.
00:43:05I'm still missing you.
00:43:10I'm still, and I'm still
00:43:14I'm still missing you.
00:43:42I thought I was clear
00:43:43our relationship
00:43:44is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:45You're no longer welcome
00:43:46at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up
00:43:49my equipment.
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:54She's got another truth.
00:43:56I don't think there's
00:43:58anything left to talk
00:43:59about, Dex.
00:44:06Fine.
00:44:08Let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping
00:44:17you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much
00:44:21thinking about my former
00:44:22assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:30I'm your former boss now.
00:44:32In fact,
00:44:33here
00:44:34are your termination letters.
00:44:39I don't give a fuck
00:44:40about the contract.
00:44:42I don't give a shit
00:44:42about my career.
00:44:43I just want you.
00:44:44And I know
00:44:45that you want me too.
00:44:47Don't act like
00:44:48you've forgotten
00:44:50what we had.
00:44:52I've been trying to,
00:44:54but being this close again,
00:44:56it feels
00:44:58impossible.
00:44:59You're not like
00:45:00an instrument.
00:45:02But you tremble
00:45:03every time we touch.
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:10about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit
00:45:12about the tabloids.
00:45:13I don't care
00:45:13what the rec labels
00:45:14have to say.
00:45:15If you tell me
00:45:16that you want
00:45:17to be with me,
00:45:19we'll be together.
00:45:24We can tease
00:45:25each other off
00:45:28until you finally
00:45:30admit
00:45:30that you
00:45:32still
00:45:34love me.
00:45:57You're right.
00:45:58I am like
00:45:59an instrument.
00:45:59The way
00:45:59I let you
00:46:00play me.
00:46:02After what you did,
00:46:03why would I trust
00:46:04you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:06I've been trying
00:46:07to tell you
00:46:08I do not
00:46:09want to be with
00:46:10Scarlet.
00:46:10Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver
00:46:13I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:15Hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you
00:46:18for months
00:46:18the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag
00:46:22with over
00:46:22a hundred million
00:46:23strings.
00:46:24I mean,
00:46:25we have a Dexter
00:46:26Hayes-sized
00:46:26hold-a-fill
00:46:27and he could be
00:46:28the next big thing.
00:46:28It's not safe.
00:46:29Casey,
00:46:30you don't need
00:46:30him.
00:46:31He'll hurt you.
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think
00:46:34you,
00:46:34of all people,
00:46:36get to tell me
00:46:36what I need.
00:46:37Casey.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey!
00:46:41Casey!
00:46:42Daisy has
00:46:43every right
00:46:43to be angry
00:46:44with me
00:46:44after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46she can trust me
00:46:47again.
00:46:54Oh.
00:46:56Oh.
00:46:59Perfect timing.
00:47:00Make yourself
00:47:01comfortable.
00:47:01Thank you for
00:47:02meeting me
00:47:02on self-short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally
00:47:04doesn't like
00:47:05women who
00:47:05speak too much.
00:47:07I've made
00:47:08an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always
00:47:10refer to yourself
00:47:10in the third person?
00:47:12I don't know
00:47:13what that means,
00:47:14but
00:47:16you want to hear
00:47:17one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit
00:47:19online.
00:47:19I'm very excited
00:47:20about a potential
00:47:21partnership.
00:47:22Well,
00:47:24I heard
00:47:24to be blown away.
00:47:26Actually,
00:47:27I was hoping
00:47:28for a live
00:47:28performance
00:47:29if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians
00:47:31out there
00:47:31faking their music
00:47:32with AI,
00:47:32you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:35But
00:47:37you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we
00:47:38toast first
00:47:39to this potential
00:47:40partnership?
00:47:57shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love
00:48:01straight vodka.
00:48:08But you know
00:48:09what I
00:48:11actually
00:48:12love
00:48:13even more
00:48:13than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18asshole
00:48:18pervs.
00:48:19My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:22You really
00:48:23think you can
00:48:24drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign
00:48:26you to read
00:48:26records?
00:48:27Now you know
00:48:28who you're
00:48:29dealing with.
00:48:31not so fast.
00:48:32You thought
00:48:33you could just
00:48:33walk in here
00:48:34and demand
00:48:34a live performance
00:48:35from the
00:48:35Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look
00:48:38like a little
00:48:38bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40and a fraud.
00:48:43I'll be sure
00:48:44no label
00:48:45will ever
00:48:45sign you
00:48:46no matter
00:48:47how talented
00:48:48you are.
00:48:49I want me
00:48:50to label

00:48:51Not when I
00:48:52can read
00:48:52records
00:48:53for myself.
00:48:56Don't be shy
00:48:57Casey.
00:48:58I'm just
00:48:58hoping you
00:48:58get ready.

00:54:17Scarlet's getting
00:54:18desperate
00:54:18she's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies
00:54:22she can't keep up the act forever
00:54:24sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:28much less produce a hit track
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo

00:55:02the world
00:55:04or Dexter
00:55:08this isn't about him
00:55:11he made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:13well my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:17but if you're gonna go as Echo

01:17:23I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26your name's on fire
01:17:29in my brains
01:17:32it's burning for my chains
01:17:37who are you to tell me why
01:17:43who am I to look like
01:17:48this mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:51but none of them can blow
01:18:06but none of them can blow
01:18:48I need you to tell you
01:18:50I'm not afraid of
01:18:50you to tell me
01:18:50it's проверing
01:18:51The whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:29But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:49Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey. You've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
01:20:04Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:10You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:16save you?
01:20:16It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:22Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:31I mean, and those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:47Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you. Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:07Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call. One centimeter to the right. He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:44Oh, I'm hopefully. He'll recover. But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:50That's it, okay?
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter? How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you. Never.
01:22:15Why?
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...
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:43But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and I will be forever grateful.
01:22:58And in return, I'll give you your song for free, and we can go our separate ways. We can end
01:23:04on a high note.
01:23:05No. Listen. No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want? To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you. Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:36That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:40I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:47I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:10I 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 reminds me...
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the wild light list.
01:24:38The wildlife festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO. You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:47You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17We do it together.
01:25:22I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:36I love you, too.
01:25:50It's the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:54Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:20So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:44It's the only one that I remember to smile.
01:26:52Imagine what we're together
01:27:06This goes on
01:27:10Stuff in the stockings
01:27:13But I am still walking
01:27:15Through all we do
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated
01:27:22Now I'm recreated
01:27:25Every time I look at the moon
01:27:29I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:38That it's time for you and me
01:27:43Cause the bed so far
01:27:48Just a little
01:27:53Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:00Just a little
01:28:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah
01:28:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:17I'm taking and talking
01:28:19But I will be walking
01:28:22Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:26Mirror in heaven
01:28:28My heart is still beating
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile, I imagine when we're together
