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.
00:02:59Once you wanna take me drive.
00:03:01You lost me. I heard you got thispan. You're welcome.
00:03:11You're welcome. Thank you.
00:03:11You reached out to me and Him answered.
00:03:13Let me go, how are you doing.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:35Wait 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.
00:04:14Don't get it! Let's go!
00:04:17Don't get it! Let's go!
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.
00:05:18When 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. Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:58Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:01God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:20This is Echo's novel.
00:06:24Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's...
00:06:42One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:45Um... Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:53All those secret phone calls, dodged questions... Casey 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 3... 2... 1...
00:07:41I'm...
00:07:46I'm amazing.
00:07:54Woooooh.
00:08:02Every time that I look, I remember the time I saw you, I...
00:08:08One thing to remember you lied
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!
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god, Dexie!
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
00:10:28All right, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:41Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:52You promised me
00:10:57That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:09I gave you everything
00:11:13I loved you
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her
00:11:18Okay?
00:11:19I owe her, all right?
00:11:21I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
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?
00:11:34So, 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?
00:11:51Well, 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?
00:12:21He could have had that with me
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:30Not loyalty
00:12:31Just
00:12:33Your music
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hmm?
00:12:40This
00:12:41Is 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?
00:12:51I'm a musical genius
00:12:54And you're just
00:12:55Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:57Give it back
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:01See what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I 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
00:13:12Without 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
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:25Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:30Go wait in the car
00:13:31Please
00:13:37But Casey
00:13:42Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:45So 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
00:14:16We're over
00:14:18Dex
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 Heart 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 Heart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:12And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:20Casey
00:15:31It looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:34Let's see how his future wife feels 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 Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart
00:15:50We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:15:57You're trying to steal him from his soul mate
00:16:01I wasn't stealing him
00:16:04We were in love
00:16:05Or I thought we were
00:16:08We'll see about that won't we
00:16:10The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:14Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:21Where 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
00:16:46Get 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 fiance?
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
00:17:34Oh, 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
00:17:52Dexter
00:18:00Dexter
00:18:00Dexter
00:18:02Dexter
00:18:03Dexter
00:18:03Dexter
00:18:03Dexter help me
00:18:04They 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
00:18:13We 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 I'll let these two go
00:18:26Please
00:18:26No, that's not how this works
00:18:29Dexie
00:18:30You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:33We'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
00:18:41Do they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one
00:18:45To live
00:18:46Will it be your future wife?
00:18:49Or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart
00:18:53Dexter 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
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart
00:19:05Dexter 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
00:19:25Or they both die
00:19:26Dexter
00:19:27Dexter
00:19:27Please
00:19:28Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:30You dumped her
00:19:31You chose me
00:19:33Don't let them murder me
00:19:34That's him out
00:19:35We're pulling the trigger in
00:19:37Three
00:19:38Two
00:19:40One
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay
00:19:41I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:44Scarlet, alright?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet
00:19:51Dexter
00:19:52I'm gonna faint
00:19:53I 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
00:20:13I guess
00:20:19This is the end
00:20:25Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:32Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun
00:20:45Let's go
00:20:46Let's go
00:20:46Let's go
00:21:03Let's go
00:21:04Walk away
00:21:04Staying with you
00:21:05Was the biggest mistake
00:21:06I'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 go
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:37Without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself
00:21:40That same question
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top
00:21:43Of 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
00:21:49Sure he does
00:21:51Fame really has changed you
00:21:54Dexter 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
00:22:06I never betrayed you how you betrayed me
00:22:11By putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:13You chose her
00:22:15And you left me for dead
00:22:17No
00:22:17Casey, you don't understand
00:22:19I was trying to
00:22:44Oh my god, 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
00:23:10I was trying to
00:23:11I was trying to
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.
00:23:52And 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.
00:24:58My back is pressed.
00:25:06No, no!
00:25:08Okay.
00:25:09Guys.
00:25:10Cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys.
00:25:18We 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, Scarlett, 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...
00:25:51Your new assistant, he's been messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:57I 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've never been screaming over like that.
00:26:19You're fired.
00:26:27Let's do it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:46Writing 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.
00:27:09Alright, 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, okay?
00:27:49We 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 from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay, look.
00:28:03I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go.
00:28:16You have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:37Her coarse, tangled hair, 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.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:27Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:39She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:41Look! Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:29:57No fuck!
00:29:59No, no, no, no, no!
00:30:02No, no, no, no, no!
00:30:19If you were...
00:30:23Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:25Hey, Dex. Long 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. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:15hit.
00:31:31Scarlet, what 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 of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:11You jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:20You 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. She's just a desperate assistant, playing dress up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:41Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm. They got that right. Hmm. Is that so? Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me? Who's putting on
00:32:58an actor?
00:33:01Is it you? How dare you?
00:33:07Careful. The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:11Yeah. You 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, I will get you cancelled so fucking
00:33:31hard,
00:33:32your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reed. Hi. Uh, Dexter Hayes. Thank you so much for the invite. Um, you've always been a true hero
00:33:44of mine.
00:33:44Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, 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 a look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:01daughter.
00:34:02Yeah, the heiress to the Reed Wrecker's fortune.
00:34:04Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:18I think we could really make something special.
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:27Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:33make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:51Casey.
00:34:53Casey.
00:34:54Casey.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:56Casey.
00:34:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:35:04instead you just showed up here.
00:35:05I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again, but after what
00:35:13he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:29Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:42night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her. Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right
00:35:49here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no
00:35:56power here.
00:35:57Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:03Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:05Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:12Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:27Read Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:33But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:41Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:46Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:01All right, this is it. He's gonna announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:11The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess.
00:37:17And the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:25What?
00:37:27No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit. She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:00She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:05Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her base?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:11Mr. Reed, your gift. For the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Ugh, 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 that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:31I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy. He was her father.
00:38:40This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:48How could I be so blind?
00:38:57What suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:20I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiance'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?
00:39:44If you just let me explain, I 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, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:03I mean, you gotta understand, I, 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 after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:12I didn't want any of that to happen!
00:40:15You have to believe me, please!
00:40:16I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just, is this just some royal way to 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 who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:42Wait.
00:40:46This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:50Why you left me for 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, please.
00:41:03No, no, no.
00:41:04Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:10Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:17Read Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:28Effective immediately.
00:41:30Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:36You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:42Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:53She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Read Records.
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her. She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom, stop.
00:42:13You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:16I'm done talking about this.
00:42:18Tell her, possibilities.
00:42:21Geez.
00:42:44There are no mean���
00:42:45If you question yourself
00:42:47In the comments and comments in the comments section
00:42:48All of those years
00:42:52I've broken the irreplace
00:43:00In a twine
00:43:03Lost in my eyes
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:10And I'm still
00:43:12And I'm still
00:43:14I'm still missing you
00:43:24I'm still missing you
00:43:28In a twine
00:43:30Heart and mind
00:43:33I'm still missing you
00:43:41I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:45You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:54She's got another truth.
00:43:56I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:06Fine.
00:44:08Well, let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:28Not anymore.
00:44:30I'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.
00:44:41I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:43I just want you.
00:44:44And I know that you want me to.
00:44:47Don't act like you'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 impossible.
00:44:59You're not like an instrument.
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:10I don't care about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:13I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:15If you tell me
00:45:16that you want to be with me,
00:45:19we'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other over.
00:45:28Until you finally admit
00:45:30that you
00:45:31still
00:45:33love me.
00:45:57You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument.
00:45:59The way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did,
00:46:03why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:06I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:10Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:15Hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:18the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over
00:46:22a hundred million strings.
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:26size hold of Phil
00:46:27and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:28It's not safe.
00:46:29Casey, you don't need him.
00:46:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:34of all people
00:46:35get to tell me
00:46:36what I need.
00:46:37Casey.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey!
00:46:42Deasy has every right
00:46:43to be angry with me
00:46:44after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46she can trust me again.
00:46:59Perfect timing.
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me
00:47:02on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05women who speak too much.
00:47:07I've been an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer 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 online.
00:47:19I'm very excited
00:47:20about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well,
00:47:24hired to be blown away.
00:47:26Actually,
00:47:27I was hoping for
00:47:28a live performance
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, you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:35But
00:47:37you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39to this potential partnership?
00:47:57Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love
00:48:01straight vodka.
00:48:08But
00:48:09you know what?
00:48:09I...
00:48:11actually
00:48:12love
00:48:13even more than that.
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18asshole pervs.
00:48:19My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think
00:48:23you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you
00:48:26to read records?
00:48:27Now you know
00:48:28who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:32You thought you could
00:48:33just walk in here
00:48:34and demand a live performance
00:48:35from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look
00:48:38like a little bitch
00:48:38to 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 you are.
00:48:49I want me
00:48:50to sign me
00:48:51not when I get
00:48:52read records
00:48:53or myself.
00:48:56Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping
00:48:58you get ready.
00:48:59The paparazzi
00:49:00will be here any minute
00:49:00to see my new mistress.
00:49:02They'll plaster
00:49:02our photos
00:49:03all over the tabloids.
00:49:05Everyone will see
00:49:06what a slut you are.
00:49:07How you slept
00:49:08your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:11He's gonna have
00:49:12no choice
00:49:13but to hand you
00:49:14and your company
00:49:15over to me.
00:49:16You're delusional.
00:49:17Stay away from me.
00:49:19Be honest.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21to me.

00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine.
00:49:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you
00:49:39for that.
00:49:40I'd love to see you
00:49:41try, sweetheart.
00:49:42You're just a
00:49:43wash-up addict
00:49:44and you do not
00:49:45have a leg
00:49:45to stand on.
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:53Jesus.
00:49:54We could have
00:49:54produced a sick-ass
00:49:55record together.
00:49:56You kind of wanted
00:49:57to defend this
00:49:58used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck
00:50:03the name
00:50:04is K.C.

00:50:24Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:29Give me your hand.

00:51:21You're way
00:51:23too interested
00:51:24in my personal life,
00:51:26Dex.
00:51:27Won't your fiance
00:51:28be jealous?
00:51:33I've been trying
00:51:35to tell you
00:51:35for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:37want
00:51:38to marry
00:51:39Scarlet.
00:51:41You don't fucking
00:51:42listen.
00:51:43Now you're really
00:51:44starting to piss me off.
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:56So
00:51:58what am I
00:51:59supposed to do?
00:52:00Pretend

00:52:03the pop star's
00:52:05secret
00:52:06side piece
00:52:07again?
00:52:09I should
00:52:10push him away
00:52:11but
00:52:11I can't deny
00:52:12how much
00:52:13I miss his touch.
00:52:14you were never
00:52:15the side piece.
00:52:17And you know it.
00:52:28Boss!
00:52:29I have news!
00:52:31Thank you
00:52:32for your help
00:52:33today,
00:52:34Dexter.
00:52:36Please
00:52:37stop following me.
00:52:41Or else
00:52:42it's gonna get
00:52:42harder and harder.
00:52:43to walk away.
00:52:53Great timing.
00:52:55As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's
00:53:00fraudulence
00:53:01and drug abuse
00:53:01have been leaked
00:53:02to the press.
00:53:03No label,
00:53:04studio,
00:53:04brand will go
00:53:05anywhere near.
00:53:05His net worth
00:53:06plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights
00:53:09to his music.
00:53:12I'll give that
00:53:13to Casey
00:53:13as a gift.
00:53:19I heard
00:53:20what happened
00:53:20with Sasha.
00:53:21Now that was
00:53:22way too risky,
00:53:23Casey.
00:53:23Look,
00:53:24I'm far from
00:53:24Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:25but that could
00:53:26have gotten
00:53:26real ugly
00:53:27if he hadn't
00:53:28shown up.
00:53:28I could have
00:53:29handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also
00:53:30a huge leak
00:53:31in the press.
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:34dirty laundry
00:53:35out for everyone
00:53:35to see.
00:53:36He's been,
00:53:37what do you
00:53:37kids call it,
00:53:38canceled.
00:53:39Who took him
00:53:39down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought
00:53:48the rights
00:53:48to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing
00:53:51anything anywhere
00:53:52or get sued
00:53:53to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down
00:53:55Sasha Silver
00:53:56for me?
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad
00:54:00as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should
00:54:02stop interfering
00:54:03himself with my life.
00:54:08The world famous
00:54:09music producer
00:54:10Echo is set
00:54:11to finally reveal
00:54:12their identity
00:54:13at the legendary
00:54:14Universal Music
00:54:14Awards tomorrow
00:54:15night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting
00:54:18desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to
00:54:19convince the world
00:54:20she's Echo
00:54:21before it can
00:54:21expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep
00:54:23up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later
00:54:25Dexter will realize
00:54:26she can't even
00:54:27hold a tune.
00:54:28Much less
00:54:29produce a hit track.
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing
00:54:31if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter
00:54:34wouldn't look at her
00:54:34twice let alone
00:54:35marry her
00:54:37if she wasn't
00:54:38pretending to be
00:54:38a genius producer.
00:54:39I don't know
00:54:40how she thinks
00:54:40she's going to
00:54:41get away with it.
00:54:43I think it's time
00:54:45the world finds out
00:54:46who the real
00:54:47Echo is.
00:54:51You want to go
00:54:52to the UMAs
00:54:53as Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me
00:54:55every year
00:54:56and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam
00:54:58go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world
00:55:01finds out the truth
00:55:01about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world
00:55:03or Dexter.
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:11He made his bed
00:55:12when he proposed
00:55:13to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well my daughter
00:55:14deserves all the
00:55:15recognition of the world.
00:55:17But if you're
00:55:18going to go as Echo
00:55:19oh you're going
00:55:20to do it right.
00:55:21With the best
00:55:22equipment money
00:55:23can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:26I want people
00:55:27to see my princess
00:55:28for the queen
00:55:29that she is.
00:55:33You're the best, dad.
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes!
00:55:50It's so good
00:55:51to see you again.
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged?
00:55:56Yes.
00:55:57My future
00:55:58daughter-in-law
00:55:59is performing
00:56:00at the Universal
00:56:00Music Awards
00:56:01tomorrow
00:56:02and I'd like to gift
00:56:03her something
00:56:04to mark the occasion.
00:56:05So none of these
00:56:06mass-produced guitars.
00:56:08She's a musical genius.
00:56:10We need something
00:56:11one of a kind
00:56:12just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift
00:56:15for her.

00:56:51I have just as much
00:56:52of a right
00:56:53to be here
00:56:53as you.
00:56:54Because of your
00:56:55Nepo Baby
00:56:55connections,
00:56:56we all know
00:56:57money can't
00:56:58buy talent.
00:57:00Tell that to
00:57:01Scarlett.
00:57:01Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:05fiance
00:57:05and creative
00:57:06collaborator.
00:57:07And you don't
00:57:08really know
00:57:08anything about
00:57:09music.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:11You're right.
00:57:13In that case,
00:57:15you should have
00:57:16this.
00:57:27Oh, my God!
00:57:30What?
00:57:34Oops.
00:57:35Slipped out
00:57:36of my hands.
00:57:37My bad.
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:39Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed
00:57:42a million-dollar
00:57:43guitar.
00:57:45Here it is.
00:57:46Take this woman
00:57:46away!
00:57:47Hold on just
00:57:48one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:57:53I need to speak
00:57:54to the owner
00:57:55about an offer.
00:57:56You think you
00:57:56set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course,
00:57:58Mr. Hayes.
00:58:04It's all yours now.
00:58:13Scarlet, ignore this
00:58:16wannabe musician.
00:58:17We'll find a better
00:58:19option.
00:58:21Mmm.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27Beyonce used this
00:58:28on her last album.
00:58:29This instrument is
00:58:31worthy of Echo,
00:58:32the genius producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey,
00:58:36hey, hey, hey.
00:58:36Actually, actually,
00:58:38this guitar is no
00:58:40longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire
00:58:42collection is on hold
00:58:43for the new owner.
00:58:45I'm going to just...
00:58:48My apologies,
00:58:49my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no,
00:58:52no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look,
00:58:55we just want the one
00:58:56guitar.
00:58:56I'm sure we can come
00:58:57to a generous
00:58:58agreement.
00:58:59You could pay all
00:58:59you want for the
00:59:00guitar, but it's not
00:59:01going to stop Scarlet
00:59:02from choking
00:59:04on the stage.
00:59:08How dare you,
00:59:10you little
00:59:11bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:20Hi, Dexy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter,
00:59:27she just insulted
00:59:28your fiancé.
00:59:30You need to do
00:59:31something.
00:59:31Mom,
00:59:32do you really want
00:59:33to have a conversation
00:59:34right here and now
00:59:35about the current
00:59:35status of my
00:59:36engagement?
00:59:38Scarlet's talent
00:59:39as a producer
00:59:39is the reason
00:59:40you're as famous
00:59:41as you are,
00:59:42Dexter.
00:59:43The least you could
00:59:44do is show her
00:59:45a little respect.
00:59:48You know what?
00:59:49Actually,
00:59:49I'm sorry,
00:59:50you're right.
00:59:51I should
00:59:52show respect
00:59:53to the one
00:59:54person who's
00:59:55always been
00:59:55there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up
00:59:58the guitar
00:59:59for Miss Hunt.
01:00:00I knew you
01:00:01would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes,
01:00:03it's not for sale.
01:00:04You know,
01:00:05why don't you
01:00:05ask the new
01:00:06owner how much
01:00:07it costs,
01:00:08and I'll pay it
01:00:08whatever it is
01:00:09right here and now.
01:00:11Miss Reed,
01:00:12as the new
01:00:13owner of the store,
01:00:14how much would
01:00:15you like to
01:00:15charge the guitar
01:00:16for?
01:00:16Wait,
01:00:17what?
01:00:17What?
01:00:21I'm sorry,
01:00:22I'm the new
01:00:23owner?
01:00:25Consider a late
01:00:26birthday gift
01:00:27for my former
01:00:28assistant.
01:00:29You did this
01:00:30for me.
01:00:31You really think
01:00:32I need a music
01:00:33store?
01:00:34Well,
01:00:35as CEO of
01:00:35Reed Records,
01:00:36you probably don't
01:00:37know,
01:00:37but from someone
01:00:38who cares about
01:00:39you a lot,
01:00:40why the hell
01:00:40not?
01:00:42Dexter!
01:00:43Are you insane?
01:00:45She's not even
01:00:46a real musician,
01:00:47and you gave her
01:00:48the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make
01:00:51us pay her
01:00:53for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh,
01:00:55it's okay.
01:00:56Scarlett could
01:00:56have it for free,
01:00:57as long as she
01:00:58shows us the big
01:00:59hit that she's
01:01:00working on.
01:01:03Casey,
01:01:04I am not
01:01:05stooping to your
01:01:05level.
01:01:06And besides,
01:01:07we're late for
01:01:08hair and makeup.
01:01:09I will talk to
01:01:10you about this
01:01:11later.
01:01:12Hmm.
01:01:13You will
01:01:14regret this.
01:01:15Casey has done
01:01:16nothing but ruin
01:01:17you.
01:01:18She's just a
01:01:19pretty face
01:01:20with no talent
01:01:21to back it up.
01:01:22Thanks, Mom.
01:01:28One,

01:01:30assistant anymore.

01:01:38actually the night
01:01:39that you proposed
01:01:40to Scarlett,
01:01:41so your gift
01:01:42means

01:03:04are going to be hearing
01:03:05your song.
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:07The world needs
01:03:09to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe
01:03:12I'm about to perform
01:03:13on the Universal Music
01:03:14Awards stage.
01:03:16All right, guys.
01:03:17It's time.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:33You can't start
01:03:34the show without me.
01:03:39I knew you'd make it.
01:03:40Of course she did.
01:03:42Her daddy probably
01:03:42got her a ticket
01:03:43after she cried
01:03:44about being left out.
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:47You know,
01:03:47I'm actually surprised
01:03:48you showed up.
01:03:49I thought it would be
01:03:50too painful for you
01:03:51to witness people
01:03:52with actual talent
01:03:53perform when
01:03:54you yourself have none.
01:03:56Mm.
01:03:57I'm getting a lecture
01:03:59about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh.
01:04:02Guess we'll see
01:04:02who's real
01:04:03and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wreck-a-legs, Scarlet.
01:04:06Or should I say
01:04:08echo?
01:04:10Don't choke.
01:04:12Hope you don't choke.
01:04:15Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35The playback's down.
01:04:37The track's gone,
01:04:38completely white.
01:04:39You have another version
01:04:40of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make
01:04:46that version.
01:04:47I had to pay
01:04:48Taylor Swift's producer
01:04:48to send me
01:04:49one of her reject tracks.
01:04:50Go fix this.
01:04:51Now.
01:04:54This is bad.
01:04:55All right,
01:04:56everyone's just out there
01:04:57staring at us.
01:04:58We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:04:59and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea.
01:05:06You're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true.
01:05:20I'm Echo,
01:05:22the award-winning producer
01:05:23and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:25longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:28Go ahead.
01:05:30Why don't you mix us
01:05:31a live track right here,
01:05:32right now?
01:05:33Come on.
01:05:34You're a genius producer,
01:05:36right?
01:05:36I mean,
01:05:37this is your chance
01:05:38to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean,
01:05:39the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know
01:05:42what any of these buttons
01:05:43even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying
01:05:45to sabotage me.
01:05:46I must have another file
01:05:48I can play.
01:05:48I'll just make it look
01:05:50like 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.
01:06:15Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:18Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:20You can stop
01:06:21with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:23Okay,
01:06:24can you boost the treble
01:06:25on the EQ in the middle
01:06:26and can you pan from
01:06:27stage left to stage right
01:06:29real quick?
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:39Damn,
01:06:39I guess you're going to
01:06:40have to do it
01:06:41the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording
01:06:43the instruments live,
01:06:44looping the...
01:06:45Don't listen to her.
01:06:46She doesn't know
01:06:47what it takes
01:06:47to make a track
01:06:48of my caliber.
01:06:49And this isn't
01:06:50the first time
01:06:51one of Dexter's tracks
01:06:52have been corrected.
01:06:53If I didn't know
01:06:54any better,
01:06:55I'd think you were
01:06:56trying to sabotage her.
01:06:57Scarlet,
01:06:58Scarlet,
01:06:58why would Casey
01:06:59do that?
01:06:59For real.
01:07:00Okay,
01:07:00you're Echo.
01:07:02Okay,
01:07:03so just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:08What,
01:07:09you have performance anxiety?
01:07:18Scarlet,
01:07:19you are our only hope now.
01:07:21You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could,
01:07:23if I had something
01:07:25other than this shoddy
01:07:26Breed Records
01:07:27music equipment
01:07:28to work with.
01:07:28Casey,
01:07:29if you're such a genius,
01:07:30why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh,
01:07:32I actually would,
01:07:34gladly,
01:07:34but it's actually
01:07:35your big night,
01:07:36so why don't you
01:07:37show everyone
01:07:37the brilliant Echo
01:07:38and how you made
01:07:39Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:42Echo!
01:07:43Echo!
01:07:44Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo,
01:07:48okay?
01:07:49Record some mini instruments,
01:07:51lay them down,
01:07:51make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple.
01:07:52You know how to do this.
01:07:54You really think
01:07:55your fiancé
01:07:56is going to be able
01:07:57to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean,
01:07:58if she goes down,
01:08:00you go down with her.
01:08:02Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:04I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close
01:08:07to marrying Dexter
01:08:08and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:10Boop!
01:08:12Boop!
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius
01:08:35to make that racket
01:08:36sound like music.
01:08:57Oh my god,
01:08:59is Scarlet Heart
01:08:59tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on, Echo.
01:09:02Show them your talent.
01:09:03Keep going.
01:09:05Get off the stage.
01:09:06You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:10All right, look.
01:09:13It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to
01:09:16give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it
01:09:19all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:20Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career
01:09:23that I fought for
01:09:24for however,
01:09:24how many years?
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close
01:09:32to once told me
01:09:34that there's a lot more
01:09:35to life than just
01:09:36your career.
01:09:37And who knows,
01:09:38maybe I can get
01:09:39a cool new gig
01:09:40as a personal assistant
01:09:41for the new CEO
01:09:42of Reed Records.
01:09:45Dexter,
01:09:46stop it
01:09:46with those awful jokes.
01:09:48Your entire life's work
01:09:50is on the line.
01:09:51Mom,
01:09:52you heard the track,
01:09:53okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song.
01:09:55Now, it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:11Well,
01:10:12I guess it's time
01:10:13for the next act
01:10:14of this show.
01:10:16No, no,
01:10:17there's no,
01:10:18there's no other...
01:10:20It's time to let
01:10:21a real musician
01:10:22take the stage.
01:10:24Hey!
01:10:30What the hell
01:10:31do you think
01:10:32you're doing?
01:10:32Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean,
01:10:38you can stay
01:10:39unless you want
01:10:40to go down
01:10:40as the worst performer
01:10:41in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix
01:10:44a whole live track,
01:10:45what makes you think
01:10:45you could?
01:10:46For one,
01:10:47I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:51Will you step down
01:10:52as Reed Records' CEO
01:10:53if you fail?
01:10:55Happily.
01:10:56Hmm.
01:11:00Everyone,
01:11:01we're about to watch
01:11:01the Reed Records' CEO
01:11:03dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo
01:11:05is having technical difficulties
01:11:07with her track.
01:11:08Since we're live,
01:11:09let's make something new.
01:11:11Dexter,
01:11:12sing me the first line
01:11:12of your song,
01:11:13just your voice.
01:11:15Right now.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:23I am not
01:11:25the kind
01:11:26for a show.
01:11:30This is not
01:11:32a one-time thing.
01:11:34Lights are low,
01:11:36but I still will.
01:11:39This morning's got
01:11:41a sting.
01:11:43Good.
01:11:46Now let's
01:11:47make a hit.
01:11:55Let's fucking go!
01:12:12Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean,
01:12:16you produced this, right?
01:12:17So do you want
01:12:18to go ahead
01:12:18and take over?
01:12:19I can't.
01:12:20I don't have much.
01:12:21You don't need anything
01:12:23except for a band
01:12:24and raw talent.
01:12:25I mean,
01:12:26you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:32a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound,
01:12:35it's familiar.
01:12:44Stop!
01:12:45Stop it!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:01Does this mean
01:13:02Casey Reed
01:13:04is Echo?
01:13:05This is my song!
01:13:07She just ripped it off!
01:13:08Who's stealing now,
01:13:09Scarlet?
01:13:10Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:17I didn't even
01:13:17make that version.
01:13:19I had to pay
01:13:19Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:20to send me
01:13:20one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone
01:13:27knows the truth.
01:13:32She's the one
01:13:33that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me!
01:13:35I already did
01:13:36all the work.
01:13:37She's just
01:13:37taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix
01:13:40the track live,
01:13:41Dexter,
01:13:42so that makes it
01:13:42my intellectual property.
01:13:44You're welcome
01:13:45to put it
01:13:45on your next album,
01:13:47but you're gonna
01:13:47have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think
01:13:50you could afford
01:13:51my fee.
01:13:53I think you might
01:13:54just be surprised.
01:13:56$200 million.
01:13:58$200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more
01:14:01than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And,
01:14:05I want my name
01:14:05to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal,
01:14:09Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:12I want
01:14:13a public apology
01:14:15from Scarlett Hart
01:14:17and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we
01:14:20apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean,
01:14:22you don't have to.
01:14:22I could just go ahead
01:14:23and leave,
01:14:23and then Scarlett
01:14:24could finish the album,
01:14:25and Dexter's career
01:14:27could crash and burn,
01:14:28so,
01:14:29what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:38I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:48Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:52Why do I have to
01:14:53apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything!
01:14:56Come on,
01:14:57let's hear it.
01:14:57Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlett?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo!
01:15:02I pretended,
01:15:03and I never wrote
01:15:04or produced
01:15:04any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:10I was wrong about you.
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:15I'm sorry.
01:15:19And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:22Apologize to her.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to
01:15:25apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on,
01:15:29let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlett?
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo!
01:15:34I pretended,
01:15:35and I never wrote
01:15:36or produced
01:15:37any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:38They are happy!
01:15:41They are happy!
01:15:44Wait,
01:15:45that's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter,
01:15:49she manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiancé!
01:15:52You believe-
01:15:52Scarlett,
01:15:53you are exactly
01:15:54what we all see.
01:15:55You fucking fought,
01:15:56and you're a damn liar!
01:15:59Casey is the one
01:16:00who built my career.
01:16:02Hell,
01:16:02she's the one
01:16:02who saved the damn song!
01:16:04She's the only one
01:16:06who ever cared about me
01:16:07or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement
01:16:10is off,
01:16:12and so is the record.
01:16:35Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album?
01:16:38Terminating your contract,
01:16:40and blacklisting you
01:16:41from the industry.
01:16:42Career's over.
01:16:48You got yourself
01:16:49a deal case.
01:16:58AAPA
01:16:59K
01:17:04If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where
01:17:12would we belong
01:17:14My back is passed against the wall
01:17:20I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:32It's burning from 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 faces
01:17:51But you're not all thinking about
01:18:11Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:12Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:32Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:52Are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:58And my work speaks for itself
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry
01:19:02And 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 going to be mine
01:19:17I 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
01:19:35Dex, no!
01:19:49Dexter, Dex, stay with me
01:19:51Oh my god
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey
01:19:58You've been here all night
01:20:01You still love her, don't you?
01:20:04Dexter saved my life
01:20:06But as soon as I thank him
01:20:09We can move on
01:20:10You know, if you say so
01:20:12But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:20:14Why 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
01:20:22Casey
01:20:24Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you
01:20:26Okay?
01:20:28But without him
01:20:29I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together
01:20:35They made millions believe in love
01:20:37Your love
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:41I mean
01:20:42A love like that burns bright
01:20:43But it doesn't last forever
01:20:48Clearly Dexter never stopped caring about you
01:20:50Hmm?
01:20:51Maybe 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's sleeping
01:21:08But 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
01:21:37One centimeter to the right
01:21:38He could have punctured his lung
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore
01:21:42His life might as well be over
01:21:44Oh, hopefully
01:21:45He'll recover
01:21:46But for now
01:21:48All he needs is rest
01:21:50That's it
01:21:51Okay?
01:21:52Okay
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this
01:22:08I will never forgive you
01:22:11Never
01:22:15Bye
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be
01:22:35Casey, I
01:22:40I miss you
01:22:41I miss him too
01:22:43But everything
01:22:44We've put each other through
01:22:46Can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life
01:22:50And
01:22:54I will be forever grateful
01:22:58And in return
01:22:59I'll give you your song for free
01:23:01And we can go our separate ways
01:23:03We can end on a high note
01:23:05No
01:23:08Is 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
01:23:21Something 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
01:23:47Okay
01:23:47I would never
01:23:48Ever
01:23:49Ever do that to you
01:23:50I'd choose you a million times over
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart
01:23:54And I knew that I would
01:23:55Lose you
01:23:56And 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
01:24:08I 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
01:24:29Reminds me
01:24:32Reed Records
01:24:33Would like to formally
01:24:35Invite you to headline
01:24:37The Wildlife Fest
01:24:38The Wildlife Festival
01:24:39Is the biggest music stage
01:24:41In the world
01:24:42You saved their CEO
01:24:44You deserve it
01:24:45You're the reason
01:24:46I sing
01:24:47You're the reason I live
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite
01:24:50Or do any of this
01:24:51If I don't have you
01:24:52You
01:24:53You're my world
01:24:55Casey
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs
01:24:59Okay
01:24:59I know
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel
01:25:04I don't want to be with you
01:25:05For just who you are
01:25:06Or 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
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second
01:25:11If 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
01:25:25Okay
01:25:29I want us to do this together
01:25:33I love you
01:25:34I love you too
01:25:37I love you too
01:25:44I love you too
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed
01:26:12Who is my echo
01:26:14But more importantly
01:26:15She is undoubtedly the love of my life
01:26:20So I hope you enjoy
01:26:22So I hope you enjoy
01:26:48Every time I remember to smile
01:26:52I imagine a world
01:26:54We're together
01:27:06This goes on
01:27:10Stuff in the stockings
01:27:13But I am still walking
01:27:15And you're all
01:27:17To live
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated
01:27:22Now I'm recreating
01:27:25Every time I look at the moon
01:27:29From a dream of a night
01:27:31That's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:38That it's time for you and me
01:27:43Cause the bed is so far
01:27:48We're just 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, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night
01:28:09That's lost forever
01:28:10Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:16I'm taking and talking
01:28:19But I will be walking
01:28:22Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:26In the mirror of heaven
01:28:28My heart is still beating
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile
01:28:35I imagine a world
01:28:38We're together
01:28:47I'm not
01:28:47I'm not
01:28:47I'm not
01:28:47I'm not
01:28:47I'm not
01:28:50I'm not
01:28:51I'm not
01:28:51I'm not
01:28:51I'm not
01:28:51I'm not
01:28:51I'm not
