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.
00:03:00I can't wait to meet you if you wish.
00:03:02No più.
00:03:03No più.
00:03:04Noto per te, ragazzi.woo,
00:03:09do you know nnicos. He was.
00:03:18Noto per
00:03:19te, ragazzi.
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?
00:03:40Dexter 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 you all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:15Go, guys!
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 I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio. Or 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.
00:05:45Is Kasey Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:58Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:01God, where's Kasey? 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 one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:45Kasey has been hiding another man.
00:06:53All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:56Kasey 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 a man of time.
00:07:58Who cares?
00:08:03Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you.
00:08:08One thing to remember by
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feeling again
00:08:16I know I was waiting at time
00:08:54I know I was waiting at time
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
00:09:34To announce our relationship
00:09:35I 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!
00:10:01Oh 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
00:10:20And 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
00:10:41Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:52You promised me
00:10:57That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:10:59But instead, you propose
00:11:02And put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you-you-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-I-I-I owe her
00:11:21Alright?
00:11:21I don't-
00:11:22You 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?
00:11:35So-so-so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, 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!
00:12:59Dexter, 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 all about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:18Dexter, 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 on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:14:58Dad
00:15:00I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career, but
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 and 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 Hart
00:15:50We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:15:58You'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?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:14Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:21Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:25Dressing room
00:16:27Come alone
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Hart
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?
00:17:10God, our 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
00:17:30First 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 least single on our new album
00:17:43You're crazier than they are
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Dexter?
00:17:58Dexter?
00:17:59Dexter?
00:18:00Dexter?
00:18:01Dexter?
00:18:02Dexter?
00:18:03Dexter?
00:18:04Dexter help me
00:18:04They hit me
00:18:05Now they're tied me up
00:18:06And now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:09Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
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, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down and you'll let these two go, please.
00:18:26No, that's not how this works.
00:18:29Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:33We're engaged now.
00:18:34You can't let me die.
00:18:35Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:42mean anything?
00:18:43You must choose one to live.
00:18:46Will it be your future wife or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:18:58I can save Casey, but I 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 for half a decade.
00:19:19If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:24Choose now or they both die.
00:19:26Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:28Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:30You dumped her, you chose me.
00:19:33Don't let them murder me.
00:19:35That's enough.
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:38two,
00:19:40one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, all right?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet.
00:19:51Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:54I was so scared.
00:19:55He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating 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 who saved your soulmate,
00:20:09and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:18I guess this 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.
00:20:47Let's go.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:49All right.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die.
00:20:59And for the record,
00:21:00I never needed your money.
00:21:02I was right to walk away.
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:08Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:10They were gonna make me-
00:21:11I'm-
00:21:12done
00:21:14living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:16Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey, Casey.
00:21:23Hey.
00:21:31Casey.
00:21:32Casey, stop.
00:21:34Please, stop.
00:21:34Please, please.
00:21:35We're gonna go-
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:44You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:47He has Echo.
00:21:48Well, yeah, sure he does.
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:14You chose her!
00:22:15You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:17No.
00:22:18Casey, 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 I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:56Take me home.
00:23:07I was trying to-
00:23:08I was trying to-
00:23:10No, I was trying to-
00:23:13I was trying to-
00:23:13Cacer Hayes!
00:23:13You're mine!
00:23:18I was trying to-
00:23:19Cacer Hayes!
00:23:20Let me walk.
00:23:27Kayshay!
00:23:28How did you feel?
00:23:29You have everything.
00:23:31Kayshay!
00:23:32Kayshay!
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.
00:23:53And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:05I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rock star's 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
00:24:35Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look guys, we have one week 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?
00:25:45Echo?
00:25:45Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:49It's just your new assistant.
00:25:52He's been messing.
00:25:53He's 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 desperate.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screamed over like that.
00:26:19You're fired.
00:26:42Good 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.
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.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:21Okay, 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, I'm the Reed heiress, and 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, and with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one
00:29:15hit 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
00:29:27merchant.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know, Ed.
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, here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:24Hey, 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.
00:31:32What a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:37But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:43But 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?
00:31:56I 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.
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.
00:32:24But 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.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm, they got that right.
00:32:50Hmm, is that so?
00:32:53Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is 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
00:33:20in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:31hard
00:33:32your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reed.
00:33:37Hi, 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, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Good.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:00is my daughter and the heiress to the Reed Record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that
00:34:09Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:17over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make
00:34:33me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:52Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've been trying to call you the last
00:35:01few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:05I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:19What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:29Yeah, dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but 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 to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:49Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:03Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Aw, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:27Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:33But tonight, I'm gonna introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never
00:36:44put her name on one of them, because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:03He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:05I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire, and the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess, and the light of my life, my daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:25What?
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:00She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:03Scarlet 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.
00:38:16That'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.
00:38:36Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He 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.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:57Suits you.
00:39:00The guitar and CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I just...
00:39:20I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain...
00:39:46Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:47Are you here why you want me back after finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look.
00:39:58That's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand.
00:40:05You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:08And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:12I 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 are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just...
00:40:24Is 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.
00:40:47This...
00:40:47This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:57Threw me to the curb for the fame.
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.
00:41:17Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:30Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:36You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:42Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:48I don't care about that.
00:41:49I've always loved you.
00:41:50You don'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.
00:41:58Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00She can produce your songs.
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:12Stop.
00:42:13You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:38I've known you for years.
00:42:42I thought you were facing all of those years.
00:42:52I've broken their place.
00:43:05I'm still missing you.
00:43:10I'm still, and I'm still, and I'm still missing you.
00:43:42I 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, Dex.
00:44:06Fine.
00:44:08Let'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.
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:43I just want you.
00:44:44And I know that you want me too.
00:44:47I don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:53I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:10I don't care about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:13I don't care what the record labels have to say.
00:45:14If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day.
00:45:28Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:45:57You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument.
00:45:59The way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:06I've been trying to tell you I 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 a hundred million strings.
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Haye-sized hole to fill,
00:46:27and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:28It's not safe.
00:46:29Casey, you don't need him.
00:46:32He'll hurt you.
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:37Casey.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey!
00:46:42Deasy has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:59Perfect timing.
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:07I've been an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:12I don't know what that means, but you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well, hired to be blown away.
00:47:27Actually, I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:36But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:47:57Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka.
00:48:06Hmm.
00:48:08But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:19My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:27Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:49I want me to be able to sign me.
00:48:51Not when I get read records.
00:48:53Or myself.
00:48:56Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:11He's going to have no choice but to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:16You're delusional.
00:49:17Stay away from me.
00:49:19I'm fine.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:21Hey!
00:49:23Break your fucking hands off.
00:49:26Come on, break your fucking hands!
00:49:28Extra Hayes!
00:49:29Huh?
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine.
00:49:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that.
00:49:40I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:42You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:52Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:56You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03Her name is Casey Wee.
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:11Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:16Let's go.
00:50:24Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:39My business is none of your concern.
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:45Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you.
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48He could have done-
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:51I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:50:54So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing.
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:58So, stop following me.
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:09Stop following you.
00:51:11The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:21You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:27Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:33I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:36I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:41You don't fucking listen.
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:00Pretend she doesn't exist and be the Bob Star's secret side piece again?
00:52:09I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:14You were never the side piece.
00:52:17And you know it.
00:52:28Boss!
00:52:29I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:36Please, stop following me.
00:52:41Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:53Great timing.
00:52:55As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58I've done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:02No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:12I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:19I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:21Now, that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:28I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see.
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled.
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:56For me?
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:08The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:15night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:28Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:32I mean, she knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be
00:54:38a genius producer.
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:54:43I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:51You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world.
00:55:04Or Dexter.
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:11He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:17But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:21Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:26I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:33You're the best, Dad.
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes!
00:55:50It's so good to see you again.
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged.
00:55:56Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:08She's a musical genius.
00:56:10We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:19Oh.
00:56:22Ah.
00:56:24Please don't touch that.
00:56:26Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:30Ugh.
00:56:31It's you.
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:40I have to ask you to leave now.
00:56:47I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:54Because of your nepo-baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:56:59Hmm.
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:02I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator.
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:11You're right.
00:57:13In that case, you should have this.
00:57:23Oh, my God!
00:57:30What?
00:57:34Oops.
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:37My bad.
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:39Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar.
00:57:44Here it is!
00:57:46Take this woman away!
00:57:47Hold on just one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:57:53Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:56You think you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:01Just kidding.
00:58:04It's all yours now.
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:13Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:18We'll find a better option.
00:58:21Mmm.
00:58:22Mmm.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27Beyoncé used this on her last album.
00:58:29This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:34Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, actually, actually, actually, uh, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:45I'm gonna just...
00:58:48My, my apologies, my apologies.
00:58:50Apologies, but...
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:58:56I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:58:58You could pay all you want for the guitar, but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:08How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:20Hi, Duxy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your Beyoncé.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:31Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:48You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:00I knew you would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:04You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs, and I'll pay it, whatever it is,
01:00:09right here and now.
01:00:11Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:17What?
01:00:18What?
01:00:19What?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:25Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:29You did this for me?
01:00:31You really think I need a music store?
01:00:34Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all.
01:00:37But I'm someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter!
01:00:43Are you insane?
01:00:45Jane, she's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay, Scarlet could have it for free, as long as she shows us the big hit that she's
01:01:00working on.
01:01:03Casey, I am not stooping to your level, and besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:13You will regret this, Casey has done nothing but ruin you, she's just a pretty face with no talent to
01:01:21back it up.
01:01:22Thanks, ma'am.
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:36Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:45Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:53Secret, what are you talking about?
01:01:54What's secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:00No.
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:08But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:22Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:28Yes, sir?
01:02:31Oh, and one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:36Yes, sir.
01:02:39But, Dexter, you can't do this.
01:02:41I love you.
01:02:55Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart, you're on in five.
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:03Millions of fans are going to be hearing your song.
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:07The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:16All right, guys.
01:03:17It's time.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:33You can't start the show without me.
01:03:39I knew you'd make it.
01:03:40Of course she did.
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:49I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:54when you yourself have none.
01:03:56Mm.
01:03:57I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh.
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wake a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:06Or should I say, Echo?
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 completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make that version.
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks.
01:04:50Go fix this.
01:04:52Now.
01:04:54This is bad.
01:04:55All right.
01:04:56Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58We're going to ruin the broadcast, and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:01What are we going to do?
01:05:02I have an idea.
01:05:05You're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true.
01:05:20I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:29Go ahead.
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:33Come on.
01:05:34You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:46I must have another file I can play.
01:05:48I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:54Watch me work my magic.
01:06:13And that's how it's done.
01:06:15Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:18Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:23Okay, can you boost the treble?
01:06:25On the EQ in the middle.
01:06:26And can you pan from State's left and stage right real quick?
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:06:45Don't listen to her.
01:06:46She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:49And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:53If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:06:57Scarlet, Scarlet.
01:06:58Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real.
01:07:00Okay.
01:07:01You're...
01:07:01You'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, you are our only hope now.
01:07:21You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Breed Records music equipment to work
01:07:28with.
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:34But it's actually your big night, so why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how
01:07:39you made Dexter 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, okay?
01:07:49Record some many instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple.
01:07:52But you know how to do this.
01:07:54You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:02Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:04I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:57Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep 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 give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:20Yeah, I am.
01:09:22Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:37And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:42Reed Records.
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:53There's no saving this song.
01:09:55Now, it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:16No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other-
01:10:19Moose, hey!
01:10:20It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:32Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't, will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:55Happily.
01:10:56Hmm.
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:08Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:11Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:15Right now.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:30This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:34Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:37Oh, this morning's got a stage.
01:11:43Good.
01:11:46Now let's make a hit.
01:11:55Let's fucking go.
01:11:57Ha ha ha.
01:12:12Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:17So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I can't.
01:12:20I don't have much.
01:12:21You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:25I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical junior?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:36I mean, you are not the kind for a show.
01:12:41This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:45Stop it!
01:12:57Casey.
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song.
01:13:07She just ripped it off.
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:10Don't listen to her.
01:13:13I'm Echo.
01:13:17I didn't even make that version.
01:13:18I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:32She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me.
01:13:35I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:44You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56200 million.
01:13:58200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:12I want a public apology from Scarlet Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous.
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:22I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlet could finish the album and Dexter's career could crash and
01:14:27burn.
01:14:28So, what 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 apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything.
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:57Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlet?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo.
01:15:02I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy?
01:15:10I 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 apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything.
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlet?
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo.
01:15:35I pretended and I never wrote or produced any 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 fiance?
01:15:52You believe...
01:15:52Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:55You're fucking flawed and you're a damn liar.
01:15:59Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:16:04She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off.
01:16:12And so is the record.
01:16:35Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:37The album is terminating your contract and blackness you from the industry.
01:16:42Career is over.
01:16:48You got yourself a deal case.
01:16:58Hit it.
01:17:04If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where would we belong
01:17:14My back is passed against the wall
01:17:20I 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 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 you're not open can blind
01:18:03It's burning for me
01:18:07Let me know
01:18:50Ms. Reed, the 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.
01:19:36Hersey!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:49Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey. Hey. Hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:01You still love her, 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.
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:47Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:51Maybe 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's 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.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:38He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully.
01:21:45He'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:52Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I won't never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21I got you, 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...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:58And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:01And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:05Listen.
01:23:06No.
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.
01:23:22Something 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.
01:23:54And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:57And I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07But I said I loved you, Dexter, I 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 reminds me.
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight List.
01:24:38The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You 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 songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:59I 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.
01:25:10Or I'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 cry 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.
01:26:44Yes, ma'am.
01:26:46There will be time I remember to smile.
01:26:52I imagine a world way together.
01:27:06It goes on.
01:27:11There's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking through all the truth.
01:27:19I was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreating.
01:27:25Every time I look at the moonfall, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:36Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:43Cause the best so far was just a little.
01:27:53Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am just a little.
01:28:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:17Ticking and talking, but I will be walking through.
01:28:24Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world way together.
01:28:39Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
01:28:46yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
01:28:46yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
