00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:54I'm going to tell you.
00:02:10Hey, Keith, what's with all those secret phone calls?
00:02:14What are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing.
00:02:18It's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too
00:02:24Once he finishes this concert
00:02:26The Echo mask will come off
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me
00:02:31His Echo
00:02:32And his Casey
00:02:34Thank you
00:02:36You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight
00:02:38Like always
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife
00:03:26And now
00:03:27For the star of our show
00:03:29The world's hottest pop star
00:03:32And my soulmate
00:03:33Dexter Hayes
00:03:38Wait for me, right here
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket
00:03:45To the top of the charts
00:03:46But I'll never lock him down
00:03:48As long as he's in bed
00:03:49With his grumpy assistant
00:03:51A round of applause
00:03:52For Scarlet Heart, everybody
00:03:57Fans already love us
00:03:58Dexter Hayes
00:03:59You will be mine
00:04:03Scarlet Heart
00:04:04Dexter Hayes groupie
00:04:05Turned wannabe pop queen
00:04:06She's always throwing herself
00:04:09At my boyfriend
00:04:09Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight
00:04:11She'll finally take the hint
00:04:14I've got a really special one
00:04:16For y'all tonight
00:04:17Hope you enjoy
00:04:27Shit
00:04:28The backing mix is corrupted
00:04:30I can't let Dexter's show get ruined
00:04:32Echo can fix this
00:04:37Are you here?
00:04:38I need your help
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes
00:04:50So I'll be right back
00:04:56There, your gear from the studio
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad, we've talked about this
00:05:03In public, I am not your daughter
00:05:05And I'm not Echo
00:05:06But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him
00:05:09You made him the star he is
00:05:13I'm telling him tonight
00:05:14But for now
00:05:15I have a tractor remix
00:05:17Oh, that's my girl
00:05:22When Dexter sees this
00:05:23He'll dump that little cheater
00:05:25And run straight into my arms
00:05:45Oh my god
00:05:45These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs
00:05:48Is Casey... Echo?
00:06:00Time to save Dex's concert
00:06:01Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:05God, where's Casey?
00:06:06She said she'd stay right here
00:06:07The show is a disaster
00:06:09The fans are waiting
00:06:10Can you please find her? I need her
00:06:11No, Dexter
00:06:14I'm the one you need
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:30Are you her?
00:06:35Listen
00:06:35Can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did
00:06:42Wait
00:06:44Dexter, there's
00:06:45One more thing I should probably show you
00:06:49Casey has been hiding another man
00:06:57All those secret phone calls
00:06:59Dodged questions
00:07:00Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter
00:07:04I'm so sorry
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you
00:07:10Thanks
00:07:19Wait
00:07:19Didn't Echo just make the new track?
00:07:22Uh, and we're back
00:07:23Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life
00:07:29At least I thought so
00:07:39Get ready, Dex
00:07:40We'll mix
00:07:41Your next big single
00:07:42Is coming to you in
00:07:43Three
00:07:44Two
00:07:45One
00:07:48I'm a man as I am
00:07:55I'm a man as I am
00:08:07Every time I look at
00:08:10Remember the time I saw you
00:08:12One thing through a memory of mine
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19The secret feeling I'd get out
00:08:21Knowing I was one at a time
00:08:57The secret feeling I'd get out
00:09:14How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:36He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:38To announce our relationship
00:09:40I loved her
00:09:42And she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my god!
00:09:56Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my god, Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:14I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:22But she made my career
00:10:25And Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33All right, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:50Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:57You promised me
00:11:02That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead, you proposed and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:14I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you, do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Oh
00:11:24Okay, I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:26All right, I don't
00:11:26You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:32What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:39Okay, so-so-so that's why
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is
00:11:58You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:20To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:24To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:39Just your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first little platinum album
00:12:53That's my notebook
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius
00:12:59And you're just Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:03Give it back
00:13:04Dexter, she cut me
00:13:07See, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't, I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:12Dexter, baby
00:13:14I know all about girls like her
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you
00:13:22She has been for years
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:31Okay, well, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car
00:13:37Please
00:13:43Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:50So please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:54Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:59Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:21We're over
00:14:23Dex
00:14:27Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight
00:14:58And she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dex everything
00:15:08I made his career, but
00:15:11He doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:13What happened, princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart
00:15:17She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:26Casey
00:15:28Casey
00:15:28Casey, where are you?
00:15:39Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:50We won't hurt you
00:15:52We're your friends, too
00:15:53We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him
00:16:11We were in love
00:16:12Or I thought we were
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:21Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room
00:16:33Come alone
00:16:34Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:37And we'll spare them
00:16:38Choose your little assistant
00:16:40And they both die
00:16:43You've reached Casey
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert
00:16:53Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:57Dexter is coming
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is
00:17:02You psychos
00:17:03Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:09Obviously not
00:17:10She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:14You fucked him, too?
00:17:17God
00:17:17Our precious Dexter
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:25You don't deserve to live
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:30So if Casey dies
00:17:33Then the truth dies with her
00:17:35That's not true
00:17:37First you steal my identity
00:17:39Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:40You're psychotic
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey
00:17:43If you die today
00:17:45Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:46And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:51You're crazier than they are
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey
00:17:59Dexter
00:18:08Dexter
00:18:09Dexter
00:18:10Dexter
00:18:10Dexter
00:18:10Dexter, help me
00:18:12They hit me
00:18:13And then they tied me up
00:18:14And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:17Okay guys, let's
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down
00:18:21Okay
00:18:21We can't do that Dexter
00:18:23We're your biggest fans
00:18:26We're doing this for you
00:18:28Okay, well if you love me
00:18:30Alright
00:18:31You'll put the gun down
00:18:32And then let these two go
00:18:33Please
00:18:34No, that's not how this works
00:18:36Dexie
00:18:37You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:40We're engaged now
00:18:42We're engaged now
00:18:42You can't let me die
00:18:43Dex
00:18:44All the love we ever had
00:18:46All the memories
00:18:47All the I love you's you told me
00:18:49Did they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one
00:18:53To live
00:18:53Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I don't choose Scarlet
00:19:05Then they both die
00:19:06I can save Casey
00:19:07But I
00:19:08I have to break her heart
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him
00:19:26For half a decade
00:19:27If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:30Go ahead
00:19:31Make your choice
00:19:32Choose now or they both die
00:19:34Dexter
00:19:34Dexter, please
00:19:36Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:38You dumped her
00:19:40You chose me
00:19:41Don't let them murder me
00:19:42That's email
00:19:43We're pulling the trigger in three
00:19:47Two
00:19:48One
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:52Scarlet, alright?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet
00:19:59Dexter
00:20:00I'm gonna faint
00:20:01I was so scared
00:20:03He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice
00:20:06Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:09Now, wait a minute
00:20:10You told me that
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:13Now you get to be the one
00:20:15Who saved your soulmate
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no
00:20:26I guess
00:20:28This is the end

00:21:07And for the record
00:21:09I never needed your money
00:21:11I was right to walk away
00:21:13Staying with you
00:21:14Was the biggest mistake
00:21:15I've ever made
00:21:17Look, Casey
00:21:18You don't understand, alright?
00:21:19They were gonna make me

00:21:44We're gonna go
00:21:45Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:46Without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself
00:21:49That same question
00:21:50Good luck staying at the top
00:21:52Of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:53You're delusional
00:21:55He doesn't need you
00:21:56He has Echo
00:21:57Yeah
00:21:59Sure he does
00:22:00Fame really has changed you
00:22:03Dexter Hayes
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been
00:22:13Sneaking around behind my back
00:22:15This whole time
00:22:17I never betrayed you
00:22:19How you betrayed me
00:22:20By putting that ring
00:22:21On Scarlet's finger
00:22:22You chose her
00:22:24And you left me for dead
00:22:26No, Casey
00:22:27You don't understand
00:22:28I was trying to
00:22:54Oh my god
00:22:54That's Ed Reed
00:22:55The CEO of Reed Records
00:22:59So sorry
00:23:00It didn't come sooner
00:23:01Baby girl
00:23:04You're here now
00:23:06Take me home
00:23:21I was trying to
00:23:24I was trying to
00:23:28Take me home
00:23:36I was trying to
00:23:38I was trying to
00:23:40Casey
00:23:41Casey
00:23:42Let me explain
00:23:48Scarlet
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes
00:23:50You should have seen it
00:23:51I almost died
00:23:52And that desperate skank
00:23:55Cheated on Dexter
00:23:56With some sugar daddy
00:23:57I always knew
00:23:58She was a gold digger
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first
00:24:02Then when that failed
00:24:04She went after the CEO
00:24:05Of the biggest music label
00:24:07In the world
00:24:08Dexter
00:24:09She never cared about you
00:24:11She's been lying to you
00:24:12This entire time
00:24:13All she ever cared about
00:24:14Was money
00:24:14And power
00:24:15I thought Casey loved me
00:24:17But the whole time
00:24:19She was in bed
00:24:20With the CEO
00:24:21Of Reed Records
00:24:27Forget him princess
00:24:28Hmm
00:24:29You are much too talented
00:24:31To be running
00:24:32Some rockstar's errands
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:38Three days from now
00:24:40At the annual
00:24:41Music Hall of Fame gala
00:24:42Announcing you
00:24:43As the new CEO
00:24:45Of Reed Records
00:24:46And my daughter
00:24:47The heiress to my empire
00:24:50It's time to show the world
00:24:51Who you really are
00:25:01My back is pressed
00:25:09My back is pressed
00:25:16No no
00:25:18Okay
00:25:19Guys
00:25:20Cut the track
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key
00:25:27Look guys
00:25:28We have one week
00:25:29Alright
00:25:30To finish this song
00:25:31Before the release
00:25:32The echo that I know
00:25:34Can put together
00:25:34A perfect studio mix
00:25:36In hours
00:25:37You can't even fix
00:25:38A simple beat
00:25:39Or a key
00:25:40What's going on
00:25:42Look Scarlet
00:25:44I just gotta ask
00:25:45Are you
00:25:46Really
00:25:47Echo
00:25:51Are you
00:25:52Really
00:25:53Echo
00:25:54Dexy
00:25:57Of course
00:25:58I am
00:25:59It's just
00:26:01Your new assistant
00:26:02He's been messing
00:26:03He's messing
00:26:04With my tracks
00:26:05He's obviously
00:26:06Trying to sabotage
00:26:07Our new album
00:26:08I mean look
00:26:11Last saved
00:26:12By Max
00:26:13Yeah
00:26:13That's because
00:26:14You don't know
00:26:15How to
00:26:15Okay
00:26:15You know what
00:26:16Echo would never put her name
00:26:17On garbage like this
00:26:20Mr. Hayes
00:26:21Please
00:26:22Listen
00:26:22It's
00:26:23It's
00:26:23Dexy
00:26:24And
00:26:24I'm sorry
00:26:25But
00:26:26My last assistant
00:26:27Would have never
00:26:28Screamed me over like that
00:26:29You're fired
00:26:37Let's do it again
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here
00:27:13We're sorry
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
00:27:19All right
00:27:19She broke my heart
00:27:21And she moved on
00:27:22So why can't I do the same
00:27:42Look what we just got
00:27:43An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:56Look
00:27:57I'm not interested
00:27:58Okay
00:27:59We have a song to finish
00:28:00Dexter
00:28:02You said it yourself
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours
00:28:04We have to go
00:28:06This is a personal invitation
00:28:07From Mr. Ed Reed himself
00:28:11Okay
00:28:11Look
00:28:14I know what you're thinking
00:28:15But Casey probably meant nothing to him
00:28:17He's a billionaire record executive
00:28:19I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants
00:28:22Lining up to get on their knees
00:28:23And work for a few extra bucks
00:28:25You have to go
00:28:26And you have to impress him
00:28:28Okay
00:28:28He could make or break our careers
00:28:32Okay
00:28:32I guess you're right
00:28:33Of course I am
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple
00:28:39So now
00:28:40Forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:43And start getting ready
00:28:44I mean what was so special about her anyway
00:28:47Her
00:28:49Coarse
00:28:50Tangled hair
00:28:52Her
00:28:52Dull
00:28:54Crusty skin
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous
00:28:58God-awful clothes
00:29:02I'm Echo
00:29:02I'm the Reed heiress
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine
00:29:16How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:19As the industry's new it couple
00:29:21We're honored
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side
00:29:24Our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:35The heiress to the Reed fortune
00:29:38Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know Ed
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:44I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance
00:29:48Whoever she is we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album
00:29:51Look, here she is now
00:30:04No fucking way
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey Dex
00:30:36Long time no see
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:43I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:46So
00:30:47Why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her
00:31:06And instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed
00:31:09So he introduces us to the new CEO
00:31:11You should listen to her Dexter
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side
00:31:16And our album will go straight to number one
00:31:19She's right
00:31:20I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:31:23If I want our album to be a hit
00:31:40Scarlet, what a terrible surprise
00:31:43I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers
00:31:53But the party's just getting started
00:31:55I can't miss the big announcement
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed
00:32:08So don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:10And don't distract Dexter tonight
00:32:12Leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:16I'd love to see you try
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him
00:32:24And those feelings don't just go away
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want
00:32:33But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl
00:32:39I thought she was someone important
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart
00:32:47I would never emotionally recover
00:32:49Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men
00:32:54Just like all of those desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:58Hmm, they got that right
00:32:59Hmm
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo
00:33:25You may have the talent
00:33:26But you have no money
00:33:27And no connections
00:33:28Besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:31But me
00:33:32I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me
00:33:37Or my career ever again
00:33:39I will get you cancelled so fucking hard
00:33:41Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:46Mr. Reid, uh, hi, uh, Dexter Hayes
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:50Um, you've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that, um
00:33:57Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can
00:34:03Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:07When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:12Yeah, the heiress to the Reid record's fortune
00:34:14Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that
00:34:19Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:25I mean, you're a musical genius over the last many decades
00:34:28I think we could really make something special
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:34And, you know, if it's not too much
00:34:36It actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:41I, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here
00:35:01Casey
00:35:03Casey, Casey, Casey
00:35:06Casey
00:35:08I, I, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:12And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:19For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:21But after what he did to me
00:35:23I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:29What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only
00:35:39Yeah
00:35:40Dang, I guess I left my invite at home
00:35:43But I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:45You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though
00:35:47Has been throwing around nothing but
00:35:50Vile slander and empty accusations all night
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now
00:35:59Yeah, right
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO
00:36:05You have no power here
00:36:07Okay, guys
00:36:08Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex

00:36:42But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano
00:36:51Who has written hundreds of songs
00:36:53And never put her name on one of them
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame
00:36:59Through mine
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us

00:43:54I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got another truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:32Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:44Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:55I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:59I just want you.
00:45:00And I know that you want me to.
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten.
00:45:06What we had.
00:45:08I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:18But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:25I don't care about the fans.
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:30If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:40We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:14I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me.
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you.
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months, the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill,
00:46:43and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47He'll hurt you.
00:46:48No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey!
00:46:58Casey has every right to be angry
00:47:00with me after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:17Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:23I've made an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means, but you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Well, I heard to be blown away.
00:47:43Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:52But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:48:14Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:22Hmm.
00:48:24But you know what I...
00:48:27actually...
00:48:28love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing!
00:48:34Asshole pervs!
00:48:36My hair!
00:48:37What the fuck?!
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:57And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:49:06I want me to label to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can read records.
00:49:10Or myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's gonna have no choice.
00:49:30But to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:32You're delusional!
00:49:34Stay away from me!
00:49:36You're fine.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off me!
00:49:42I'm gonna break your fucking hands!
00:49:44Next door, hey!
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine.
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that.
00:49:57I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:59You're just a wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19The name.
00:50:21Is K.C. Wynn.
00:50:22And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:28Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:30I'm not sure of that.
00:50:33Let's go.
00:50:41Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:53Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:55Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:56My business is none of your concern.
00:50:59If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.
00:51:04You could have done it.
00:51:05Yes! Okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:07Newsflash.
00:51:08I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:51:10So, it's not your concern, where I am, or what I'm doing, okay?
00:51:15So, stop following me.
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:26Stop following you.
00:51:27The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:38You're way...
00:51:40Too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:53I did not...
00:51:54Want to marry...
00:51:56Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking must.
00:51:59Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:14So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:26I should push him away, but...
00:52:28I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:31You were never the side piece.
00:52:34And you know it.
00:52:45Boss!
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:48Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:53Please, stop following me.
00:52:58Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15Done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:20No label, studio, brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rice food's music.
00:53:29I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan,
00:53:43but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:45I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled.
00:53:55Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14Or me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:25The world famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:30at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending
00:54:55to be a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:55:00I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:55:09You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world.
00:55:21Or Dexter.
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:38Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:51You're the best, Dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:14Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow, and
00:56:20I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't touch that.
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Ugh.
00:56:49It's you.
00:56:50Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:58I have to ask you to leave now.
00:57:05I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:57:12Because of your nepo-baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31In that case.
00:57:33You should have this.
00:57:40No!
00:57:45Oh my god!
00:57:48What?
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:58Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million dollar guitar.
00:58:03Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second.
00:58:08Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my god.
00:58:11I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:14You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes.
00:58:15Of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:30It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better option.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyoncé used this on her last album.
00:58:48This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:54Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies, my apologies.
00:59:08Apologies.
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look.
00:59:13We just want the one guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:19but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:26How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:38Hi, Dexy.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just insulted your fiancé.
00:59:47You need to do something.
00:59:50Ma, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:53about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:58is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do is show her a little respect.
01:00:06You know what?
01:00:07Actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect to the one person
01:00:13who's always been there for me.
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:25how much it costs,
01:00:26and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:29Ms. Reed,
01:00:31as the new owner of the store,
01:00:32how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:36What?
01:00:36What?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider it a late birthday gift
01:00:45for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:54you probably don't know.
01:00:55But I'm someone who cares about you a lot.
01:00:58Why the hell not?
01:01:01Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:03Jane, she's not even a real musician,
01:01:06and you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have it for free,
01:01:16as long as she shows us the big hit
01:01:18that she's working on.
01:01:21Casey,
01:01:22I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:24And besides,
01:01:26we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face
01:01:38with no talent to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:47One,
01:01:48I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed,
01:01:51and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:53Two,
01:01:54my birthday was months ago.
01:01:57Actually,
01:01:57the night that you proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:59so your gift
01:02:00means nothing.
01:02:04Did you know
01:02:04I was actually gonna tell you
01:02:05my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:10Secret?
01:02:11Hold on.
01:02:12What are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to spend
01:02:21every single day
01:02:21of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention
01:02:41to anything she just said.
01:02:42Yeah?
01:02:43I want you to get
01:02:43the best equipment
01:02:44and the best instruments
01:02:45to her collection.
01:02:47Yes, sir?
01:02:49Oh,
01:02:50one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:58But, Dexter,
01:02:59you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you!
01:03:02I love you!
01:03:14Mr. Hayes,
01:03:15Ms. Hart.
01:03:16You're on in five.
01:03:16The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans
01:03:23are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:25It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:26The world needs
01:03:28to hear your talent.
01:03:30I can't believe
01:03:31I'm about to perform
01:03:31on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show
01:03:53without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably
01:04:01got her a ticket
01:04:02after she cried
01:04:02about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet.
01:04:05You know,
01:04:06I'm actually surprised
01:04:07you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be
01:04:09too painful for you
01:04:10to witness people
01:04:11with actual talent
01:04:12perform when
01:04:13you yourself have none.
01:04:15Mmm.
01:04:16I'm getting
01:04:17a lecture about talent
01:04:19from you.
01:04:20Oh.
01:04:21Guess we'll see
01:04:21who's real
01:04:22and who's fake tonight.
01:04:24Break a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:25Or should I say
01:04:27Echo?
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:56The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:59You have another version
01:05:00of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even
01:05:06make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's
01:05:08producer to send me
01:05:09to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15Alright,
01:05:16everyone's just out there
01:05:16staring at us.
01:05:18We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:19and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:21What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea.
01:05:26You're Echo.
01:05:27Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes.
01:05:39It's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo.
01:05:42The award-winning producer
01:05:44and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:45long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us
01:05:52a live track right here,
01:05:53right now?
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer,
01:05:56right?
01:05:56I mean,
01:05:57this is your chance
01:05:58to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean,
01:06:00the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know what
01:06:03any of these buttons
01:06:03even do.
01:06:04This bitch
01:06:05is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file
01:06:08I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look
01:06:10like I'm mixing
01:06:11in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done.
01:06:35Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:38Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop
01:06:41with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay, can you boost
01:06:45the treble on the EQ
01:06:46in the middle
01:06:46and can you pan
01:06:47from stage left
01:06:49to stage right
01:06:49real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn, I guess
01:07:00you're gonna have to do
01:07:01with the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means recording
01:07:03the instruments live,
01:07:04looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her.
01:07:07She doesn't know
01:07:07what it takes
01:07:08to make a track
01:07:08of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't
01:07:11the first time
01:07:11one of Dexter's tracks
01:07:12have been corrupted.
01:07:14If I didn't know
01:07:15any better,
01:07:16I'd think you were
01:07:16trying to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:19why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real, okay?
01:07:21Here, you're Echo, okay?
01:07:23So, just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What, you have
01:07:29performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are
01:07:40our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could,
01:07:45if I had something
01:07:46other than this
01:07:46shoddy Breed Records
01:07:48music equipment
01:07:48to work with.
01:07:49Casey,
01:07:50if you're such a genius,
01:07:51why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would,
01:07:54gladly,
01:07:55but it's actually
01:07:56your big night,
01:07:56so why don't you
01:07:58show everyone
01:07:58the brilliant Echo
01:07:59and how you made
01:08:00Dexter Hayes a superstar.
01:08:02Echo!

01:08:10Record some mini-instruments,
01:08:11lay them down,
01:08:12make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think
01:08:16your fiancé is going
01:08:17to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean,
01:08:19if she goes down,
01:08:20you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't
01:08:24even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:27Not when I'm so close
01:08:28to marrying Dexter
01:08:29and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius
01:08:56to make that racket
01:08:57sound like music.
01:09:16Oh, my God,
01:09:20is Scarlet Heart
01:09:20tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on, Echo.
01:09:23Show them your talent.
01:09:24Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage!
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:31Alright, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really gonna give up
01:09:37that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're gonna throw it all away
01:09:40because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:42That whole career
01:09:43that I fought for
01:09:45for however,
01:09:45how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to
01:09:54once told me
01:09:55that there's a lot more
01:09:56to life than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows,
01:09:59maybe I can get
01:10:00a cool new gig
01:10:01as a personal assistant
01:10:02for the new CEO
01:10:03of Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter,
01:10:07stop it
01:10:07with those awful jokes!
01:10:09Your entire life's work
01:10:11is on the line!
01:10:12Mom,
01:10:13you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving this song.
01:10:16Now, it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:32Well,
01:10:33I guess it's time
01:10:34for the next act
01:10:35of this show.
01:10:37No!
01:10:38No!
01:10:38There's no...
01:10:39There's no other...
01:10:40Moose!
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let
01:10:42a real musician
01:10:43take the stage.
01:10:51What the hell
01:10:52do you think
01:10:53you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop!
01:10:56You heard her, Scarlett?
01:10:59I mean,
01:11:00you can stay
01:11:01unless you want
01:11:01to go down
01:11:02as the worst performer
01:11:03in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix
01:11:05a whole live track,
01:11:06what makes you think
01:11:07you could?
01:11:08For one,
01:11:09I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't,
01:11:12will you step down
01:11:14as Reed Records CEO
01:11:15if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone,
01:11:22we're about to watch
01:11:23the Reed Records CEO
01:11:24dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo
01:11:26is having technical difficulties
01:11:28with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live,
01:11:31let's make something new.
01:11:33Daxter, sing me the first line
01:11:34of your song,
01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:37I know.
01:11:44I am not
01:11:46the kind
01:11:48for a show.
01:11:51This is not
01:11:53a one-time thing.
01:11:56Lights are low,
01:11:57but I still glow.
01:12:00This morning's got
01:12:02a sting.
01:12:04Good.
01:12:08Now let's make a hit.
01:12:17Let's fucking go!
01:12:34Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean,
01:12:38you produced this, right?
01:12:39So do you want to go ahead
01:12:40and take over?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have butt.
01:12:43You don't need anything
01:12:44except for a band
01:12:45and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean,
01:12:47you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:54a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds...
01:12:56It's...
01:12:57Familiar.
01:12:59The kind
01:13:00for sure.
01:13:03This is not
01:13:04a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:11Stop it!
01:13:12Stop it!
01:13:13Stop it!
01:13:18You're...
01:13:19Casey.
01:13:22You're Echo.
01:13:23Does this mean
01:13:23Casey Reed
01:13:25is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song!
01:13:28She just ripped it off!
01:13:30Who's stealing now,
01:13:31Scarlett?
01:13:32Don't listen to her!
01:13:34I'm Echo!
01:13:38I didn't even make
01:13:39that version.
01:13:40I had to pay
01:13:40Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:41to send me
01:13:42one of her reject tracks.
01:13:43Go fix this.
01:13:47Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:54She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:55No, that was me.
01:13:57I already did all the work.
01:13:58She's just taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:14:03So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome to put it on your next album,
01:14:08but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:14:14I think you might just be surprised.
01:14:17$200 million.
01:14:19$200 million?
01:14:20For one song?
01:14:22That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:25And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:29Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public apology
01:14:36from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous.
01:14:40Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:45and then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:47and Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:49So, what will it be?
01:14:57The clock is ticking.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:01You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:11Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlet?
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo.
01:15:24I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:27They are happy?
01:15:31They are happy?
01:15:34Wait.
01:15:35That's not what I really meant.
01:15:37Dexter?
01:15:39She manipulated me.
01:15:40You're still my fiancé?
01:15:41You believe me?
01:15:42Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:44You're fucking fraud and you're a damn liar.
01:15:48Casey is the one who built my career.
01:15:51Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:15:54She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement is off.
01:16:01And so is the record.
01:16:25Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:31Tour is over.
01:16:38You got yourself a D.O. case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:53If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:04My back is fast against the wall.
01:17:10I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:15Your name's a D.O. case.
01:17:19Your name's on fire in my veins.
01:17:22It's burning through my chains.
01:17:27Who are you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:29Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:32Who am I to look like?
01:17:37This mirror shows a thousand phases.
01:17:42But you're not open, can't love.
01:17:44I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:49I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:53I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:57I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:00I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:00I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:02I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:03I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:04I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:04I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:07I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:08I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:43Winning genius music producer, Echo.
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:58You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:01You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine!
01:19:07I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:23That won't happen again.
01:19:25Kasey!
01:19:26Dex, no!
01:19:31No!
01:19:36No!
01:19:37No!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:40Stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my god!
01:19:46Hey.
01:19:47Hey.
01:19:48Hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life
01:20:06to save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:41Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:44The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to
01:20:49the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:30If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:56If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:44I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:56Listen.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:12Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:45And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:48And I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58But I said I loved you, Dexter.
01:24:00I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:20Reminds me.
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:38You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08You do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you, too.
01:25:41This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:05But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:45We're together
01:26:58This goes on
01:27:02Stuff in the stockings
01:27:05But I am still walking
01:27:07For all you do
01:27:11Was the fool who I hated
01:27:14Now I'm recreated
01:27:16Every time I look at the moon's fall
01:27:21I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:27Soon you'll see
01:27:30That it's time for you and me
01:27:35It's the best of our
01:27:39We've had to let all
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:49I forget where I am
01:27:52Just let all
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:59I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:08I'm taking and talking
01:28:11But I will be watching
01:28:14Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:18The mirror in heaven
01:28:20My heart is still beating
01:28:22Every time I remember to smile
01:28:27I imagine the world
01:28:29We're together
01:28:30Let all
01:28:33I am
01:28:33I am
01:28:34I am
01:28:35I am
