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.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey. How you make me
00:01:11feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. At least control. At least control. At least control. At least control.
00:01:26I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35And because 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
00:01:48every 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. Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:52I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:06I can't wait to make you my wife. I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:14I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:23And now for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes.
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:44but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody.
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart.
00:04:01Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:14Hope you enjoy.
00:04:25Shit!
00:04:26The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:28I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:30And Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:39What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:49I'll be right back.
00:04:53There.
00:04:54Your gear from the studio.
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad!
00:04:59We've talked about this.
00:05:01In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:12But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh, my God.
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:45Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:02God, where's Casey?
00:06:03She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster.
00:06:06The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her?
00:06:08I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's...
00:06:41One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:09Thanks.
00:07:15Thanks.
00:07:16Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36The next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:42For the love of my life.
00:07:45I'm a man who died.
00:07:48I'm a man who died.
00:08:01I'm a man who died.
00:08:03Every time I look at you.
00:08:06Remember the time I saw you right?
00:08:09Every time I look at you.
00:08:11Remember the time I saw you right?
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:15The secret feeling again
00:08:17I know I was running out of time
00:08:54I know I was running out of time
00:09:20I know I was running out of time
00:09:36I loved her
00:09:38And she betrayed me
00:09:50Oh my god
00:09:52Dexie
00:09:53Oh my god
00:09:54Is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god
00:10:02Dexie!
00:10:04Yes!
00:10:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me
00:10:13Trusted me
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:18But she made my career
00:10:20And Casey betrayed me
00:10:25It was all a lie
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:42Hey, uh
00:10:44Casey
00:10:54You promised me
00:10:58That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead
00:11:01You'd propose
00:11:03And put a ring
00:11:04On Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey
00:11:07You
00:11:08You 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
00:11:19Okay
00:11:19I-I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:21Alright, I don't
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career
00:11:32She made me who I am today
00:11:34Okay, so-so-so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are
00:12:11Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:15To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty
00:12:32Just
00:12:34Your music
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This
00:12:41Is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:46For Dexter's first little platinum album
00:12:48That's my notebook
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius
00:12:54And you're just
00:12:56And you're just
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:58Give it back
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:02See what?
00:13:03It's gotten into you
00:13:03I don't
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexy, 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
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go right in the car, please
00:13:37But Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:45So, please just
00:13:47Just 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
00:14:19Dex
00:14:22Goodbye
00:14:23Forever
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
00:14:59Dad
00:15:01I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career
00:15:04But
00:15:05He doesn't want me
00:15:06He never did
00:15:08What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:13And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:21Casey
00:15:21Casey, where are you?
00:15:32Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:34Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:44We won't hurt you
00:15:45We're your friends, too
00:15:47We both shook 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 soulmate
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him
00:16:04We were in love
00:16:06Or I thought we were
00:16:09We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:15Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:21Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room
00:16:27Come alone
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:30And we'll spare them
00:16:32Choose your little assistant
00:16:34And they both die
00:16:36You've reached Casey
00:16:38I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left the concert
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:50Dexter is coming
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:02Obviously not
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:07You fucked him, too?
00:17:10God, our precious Dexter
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:18You don't deserve to live
00:17:20No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:23So if Casey dies
00:17:26Then the truth dies with her
00:17:28That's not true!
00:17:30First you steal my identity
00:17:32Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:33You're psychotic!
00:17:35Oh, don't worry, Casey
00:17:36If you die today
00:17:38Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:39And maybe it'll even be the leading single on our new album
00:17:44You're crazier than they are
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey!
00:17:52Dex!
00:17:58Dex!
00:18:00Casey!
00:18:01Dex! Dex!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter, help me!
00:18:05They hit me
00:18:05And then they tied me up
00:18:07And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:10Okay, guys, let's
00:18:12Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We can't do that, Dexter
00:18:16We're your biggest fans
00:18:19We're doing this for you
00:18:20Okay, well, if you love me
00:18:23Alright?
00:18:24You'll put the gun down
00:18:25And you'll let these two go, please
00:18:27No, 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
00:18:36Dex
00:18:36All the love we ever had
00:18:38All the memories
00:18:39All the I love you's you told me
00:18:41Did they mean anything?
00:18:44You 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, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet
00:18:57Then they both die
00:18:58I can save Casey
00:19:00But I
00:19:00I have to break her heart
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him for half a decade
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:22Go ahead
00:19:23Make your choice
00:19:24Choose now or they both die
00:19:26Dexter
00:19:27Dexter, please
00:19:28Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:30You dumped her
00:19:32You chose me
00:19:33Don't let them murder me
00:19:35That's enough
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in
00:19:37Three
00:19:39Two
00:19:40One
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:44Scarlet, alright?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet
00:19:52Dexter
00:19:52I'm gonna faint
00:19:54He was so scared
00:19:56He 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
00:20:04Dexter Hayes
00:20:06Now 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
00:20:14I guess
00:20:20This is the end
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun
00:20:37Hey, drop the gun
00:20:46Let's go, let's go
00:20:47Let's go, let's go
00:20:47Okay, oh, come on
00:20:49Okay
00:20:55It's gonna be okay
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die
00:20:59And for the record
00:21:01I 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
00:21:09Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:11They were gonna make me
00:21:12I'm done
00:21:14Living in your shadow decks
00:21:16Goodbye
00:21:22Casey, Casey, Casey, hey
00:21:32Casey, Casey, stop, please, stop, please, please
00:21:35We're gonna come
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:45You're delusional
00:21:46He doesn't need you
00:21:47He has Echo
00:21:49Yeah
00:21:49Sure he does
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:01Okay
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 and you left me for dead
00:22:17No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to
00:22:45Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:51So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:22:55You're here now
00:22:57Take me home
00:23:10I was trying
00:23:13I was trying
00:23:19makes it
00:23:21I was trying
00:23:22I was trying
00:23:28Kaysha!
00:23:31Kaysha!
00:23:33Kaysha!
00:23:33Kaysha!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:42I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter
00:23:46with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed,
00:23:54she went after the CEO of the biggest
00:23:56music 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
00:24:05and power.
00:24:06I thought Kaysha loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed
00:24:10with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19Hmm?
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running
00:24:22some rockstar's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now,
00:24:30at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:33announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:58My back is pressed.
00:25:04My back is pressed.
00:25:06Not mine!
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:10Guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look guys, we have one week
00:25:20to finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The echo that I know
00:25:24can put together a perfect studio mix
00:25:26in hours.
00:25:28You can even fix a simple beat?
00:25:30Or a key?
00:25:30What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet.
00:25:34I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:45Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing...
00:25:54He's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name
00:26:08on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes.
00:26:12Please, listen.
00:26:13It stinks.
00:26:14And I'm sorry,
00:26:16but my last assistant would've never
00:26:18screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:27See it again.
00:26:28See it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts
00:26:45once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy
00:26:49with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number
00:27:05that has been disconnected
00:27:06or is no longer in service.
00:27:09Alright.
00:27:10She broke my heart,
00:27:11and she moved on.
00:27:13So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:15So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:17Alright.
00:27:25She broke my heart,
00:27:25So, 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.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:50Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation
00:27:58from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:02Look.
00:28:04I know what you're thinking,
00:28:05but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster
00:28:11of scorned assistants lining up
00:28:13to get on their knees
00:28:14and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go,
00:28:17and you have to impress him, 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,
00:28:30forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:33and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse, tangled hair,
00:28:41or her dull, crusty skin,
00:28:45or 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.
00:29:01I'm the Reed.
00:29:01I'm the Reed.
00:29:02I'm the Reed.
00:29:02I'm the Reed.
00:29:03I'm the Reed.
00:29:04I'm the Reed.
00:29:05I'm the Reed.
00:29:06I'm the Reed.
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:10as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side,
00:29:14our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter,
00:29:26the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:35I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look! Here she is now!
00:29:53No fucking way!
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:24Hey, 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.
00:30:56But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All 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.
00:31:23Blah!
00:31:33It's just one of my favorite we have to do, as you tell me.
00:31:34I do not want to put it in here.
00:31:37Ooh but I can't.
00:31:39My name is the director of the book, who is what I want to do.
00:31:41She has got two new founder's new friends.
00:31:44If I want to play the game, I want to play this new friend.
00:31:45getting started i i can't miss the big announcement why so you can seduce the new ceo of reed records
00:31:55too i 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 i'd love to see you
00:32:11try jealous i loved him and those feelings don't just go away how could she change his mind so easily
00:32:21you can dress up all you want but you will always just be dexter's lowly little errant girl i thought
00:32:30she was someone important she's just a desperate assistant playing dress up imagine getting
00:32:36dragged by the scarlet heart i would never emotionally recover where do you think she got
00:32:41the jewels though probably out whoring herself to old men just like all those desperate social

00:44:51What we had
00:44:53I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:11About 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
00:45:17That you want to be with me
00:45:20We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other all day
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:30You 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
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:11Hello
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:14Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:16Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million streams
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:29It's not safe
00:46:30Casey, you don't need him
00:46:32He'll hurt you
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:34Of all people
00:46:36Get to tell me what I need
00:46:37Casey
00:46:39Casey, Casey
00:46:42Casey has every right
00:46:44To be angry with me
00:46:45After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46If she can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me
00:47:03On such short notice
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like women
00:47:05Who speak too much
00:47:08I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means
00:47:14But
00:47:16You 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
00:47:22Wow
00:47:24I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:29If you don't mind
00:47:30So many musicians out there
00:47:31Faking their music with AI
00:47:33You 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
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:13Love even more than that
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:19Asshole pervs
00:48:20My hair
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:26Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance
00:48:35From thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:47No matter how talented you are
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me
00:48:52Not when I get read records
00:48:53For myself
00:48:57Don't be shy, Casey
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:01To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03All 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
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:18Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey
00:49:24Break your fucking hands off
00:49:25What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:28Extra Hayes
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'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 Reed
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:12Your career is dead
00:50:13Sasha
00:50:14I'm not sure of that
00:50:17Let's go
00:50:25Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is literally
00:50:39My business is none of your concern
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:44What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes, okay
00:50:49I know
00:50:51Newsflash
00:50:52I'm not your assistant
00:50:54Anymore
00:50:54So, it's not your concern
00:50:56So, it's not your concern
00:51:24Interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not want to marry Scarlet
00:51:41I did not want to marry Scarlet
00:51:42But you don't fucking let her
00:51:43And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:03And be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:10I should push him away
00:52:11But 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, I have news
00:52:31Thank you for your help today
00:52:34Dexter
00:52:37Please, stop following me
00:52:41Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:54Great timing
00:52:55As always
00:52:56Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:03No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:08Good
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:12I'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
00:53:26But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Who 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
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For 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
00:54:09The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:11Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:13At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:21Before 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
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:35Let alone marry her
00:54:37If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it
00:54:44I think it's time
00:54:45The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:03The world
00:55:04Or Dexter
00:55:08This isn't about him
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:18But if you're going to go with Echo
00:55:19Oh, you're going to do it right
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:34You're the best, Dad
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes
00:55:50It's so good to see you again
00:55:54How'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
00:56:25Please don't touch that
00:56:26Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Yeah, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:37Excuse me
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave now
00:56:47I'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
00:56:56We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:01Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:10Yeah, you're right
00:57:13In that case
00:57:15You should have this
00:57:27Oh my god
00:57:35Oops
00:57:36Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:45Security
00:57:45Take this woman away
00:57:48Hold on just one second
00:57:50Dexter Hayes
00:57:51Oh my god
00:57:54I 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
00:58:01Just kidding
00:58:04It's all yours now
00:58:14Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:18We'll find a better option
00:58:24Like this one
00:58:27Beyoncé used this on her last album
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:33The genius producer
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:36Actually, actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:46I'm gonna just
00:58:49My apologies
00:58:50My apologies
00:58:50Apologies
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:52We saw it first
00:58:54Look, look
00:58:55We just want the one guitar
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:01But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:03From choking on the stage
00:59:08How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:16That's enough
00:59:20Hi, Dexy
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your fiancé
00:59:30You need to do something
00:59:32Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:40Is 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
00:59:50I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs
01:00:08And I'll pay it, whatever it is, right here and now
01:00:12Miss Reed
01:00:13As the new owner of the store
01:00:14How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:27For my former assistant
01:00:29You did this for me
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know
01:00:37But from someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician
01:00:48And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay
01:00:56Scarlett could have it for free
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:04Casey, I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later
01:01:13You will regret this
01:01:15Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, mom
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:36Two, my birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:41So, your gift means nothing
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:53Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:01:54What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No
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
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:27To her collection
01:02:28Yes, sir
01:02:31Oh, and one more thing
01:02:34She's fired
01:02:36Yes, sir
01:02:38Thank you
01:02:40But, Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:42I love you
01:02:51Mr. Hayes
01:02:56Ms. Hart
01:02:57You're on in five
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live
01:03:00Thank you
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:04Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:16All right, guys
01:03:17It's time
01:03:18Let's go
01:03:19Scarlett
01:03:34You can't start the show without me
01:03:40I knew you'd make it
01:03:41Of course she did
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlett
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
01:03:58I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:05Wreck-a-like, Scarlett
01:04:07Or should I say
01:04:08Echo
01:04:11Don't choke
01:04:13Hope you don't choke
01:04:35The playback's down
01:04:37The track's gone
01:04:38Completely white
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:52Now
01:04:55This is bad
01:04:56All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:58We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:00And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea
01:05:06Your...
01:05:07Echo
01:05:08Right?
01:05:18Yes
01:05:19It's true
01:05:20I'm Echo
01:05:22The award-winning producer
01:05:24And Dexter Hayes' long-time 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
01:05:37This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:47I must have another file I can play
01:05:49I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:52Of course
01:05:54Watch me work my magic
01:06:13And that's how it's done
01:06:15Show 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
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:26And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah
01:06:38Damn, I guess you're gonna 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
01:06:47She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:54If I didn't know any better
01:06:55I'd think you were trying to sabotage me
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:59Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real
01:07:00Okay, you're
01:07:01You're Echo
01:07:02Okay
01:07:03So, just fix the track
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:07Come on, Echo
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet
01:07:19Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:21You have to fix this
01:07:23I could
01:07:24If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:26Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius
01:07:30Why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:34But it's actually your big night
01:07:36So, why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:39And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some mini-inchments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:52It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:55You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:04I can't let her expose me
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter
01:08:08And becoming a pop legend
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:04Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:11Alright, look
01:09:14It's done
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:38And 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
01:09:53You heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song
01:09:56Now it's over
01:09:57It's over
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:17No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other
01:10:19Hey, it's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, mom, stop
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down 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?
01:10:51Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily
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
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:11Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:16Right 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 glow
01:11:38This morning's got a sting
01:11:43Good
01:11:47Now let's make a hit
01:11:56Let's fucking go
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:18So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I can't, I don't have much
01:12:21You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar
01:12:42Stop, stop it
01:12:57Casey
01:13:00You're Echo
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song, she just ripped it off
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her
01:13:13I'm Echo
01:13:17I didn't even make that version
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:22Go fix this
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song
01:13:34No, that was me
01:13:36I already did all the work
01:13:37She's just taking the credit
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:47But 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
01:13:56Two hundred million
01:13:57Two hundred million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And
01:14:05I 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
01:14:15From Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:24And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:26And Dexter's career could 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
01:14:44I'm sorry
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it
01:14:50Apologize to her
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She 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
01:15:03And I never wrote or produced
01:15:05Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:06They are happy
01:15:10I was wrong about you
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song
01:15:16I'm sorry
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it
01:15:23Apologize to her
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything
01:15:28Come on, let's hear it
01:15:30Tell the world the truth
01:15:31Scarlet
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo
01:15:35I pretended
01:15:36And I never wrote or produced
01:15:37Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:38They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:45Wait
01:15:45That's not what I really meant
01:15:48Dexter
01:15:50She manipulated me
01:15:51You're still my fiance
01:15:52You believe
01:15:53Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see
01:15:55You fucking thought
01:15:56And you're a damn liar
01:15:59Casey is the one
01:16:01Who built my career
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:16:05She's the only one
01:16:06Who ever cared about me
01:16:08Or 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
01:16:38Terminating your contract
01:16:40And blacknessing you from the industry
01:16:42Career is over
01:16:49Got yourself a deal case
01:16:59Hit it
01:17:04If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where would we belong
01:17:14My back is fast against the wall
01:17:20I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire
01:17:30In my veins
01:17:32It's burning through 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
01:17:52But you're not out of them can blow
01:17:57Who am I to look like?
01:19:01You're a solution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next,
01:19:05Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore.
01:19:11You ruined everything.
01:19:16Dexter was going to be mine.
01:19:18I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world.
01:19:30But you have to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Percy!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:39No!
01:19:42No!
01:19:47No!
01:19:48No!
01:19:48No!
01:19:49No!
01:19:49No!
01:19:50Dex!
01:19:50Dex!
01:19:51Stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but...
01:20:08As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so, but...
01:20:13Have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:23Casey, 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...
01:20:42A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:51Hmm?
01:20:52Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:51That's it.
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 will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:16Bye.
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.
01:22:36Casey, I...
01:22:41I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through...
01:22:47Can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We 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.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I 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.
01:23:55And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:57And I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When 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.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me...
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:39The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:45You deserve it.
01:24:46You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You'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?
01:25:00I 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.
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:18We do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:50This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Maybe we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed.
01:26:13Who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:44It has been a very nice look.
01:26:48I have been wanting to come.
01:26:49Yes, ma'am.
01:26:50Remember to smile like
01:26:52Imagine our way together
01:27:07This goes on
01:27:11The stuff in the stockings
01:27:14But I am still walking
01:27:16Wrong to you
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated
01:27:23Now I'm recreated
01:27:25Every time I look at the moon
01:27:30I dream of a night
01:27:32That's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:39That it's time for you and me
01:27:43Is the best so far
01:27:48We're just a little
01:27:54Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:01Just a little
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night
01:28:10That's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah
01:28:17I'm taking and talking
01:28:20But I will be watching
01:28:32Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36I imagine the world
01:28:38We're together
01:28:50I'm not
