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.

00:08:50no
00:08:50no
00:08:51no
00:09:14How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:35He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:41I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:54Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:02Oh my god! Dexie! Yes!
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, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:29It was all a lie.
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:59You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:09Scarlet 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.
00:11:24Okay, I owe her, alright? I don't...
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan. What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay, so that's why.
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet Heart is Echo.
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is. You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done
00:12:03for me, and 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.
00:12:18Is this what you wanted all along? To be a music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans? To
00:12:26boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me.
00:12:29Me. This is all you ever really cared about. Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty. Just... your music.
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook. Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:53That's my notebook. How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius. And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:03Give it back.
00:13:04How?
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:07Dexter, what has gotten into you? I don't... I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:12Dexter, baby. I know all about girls like her. They want fame and money without really ever having to work
00:13:19for it.
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you. She has been for years.
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this. Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't. Okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car. Please.
00:13:43Casey.
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:51So please just... just tell me the truth.
00:13:54Okay, right now. Or 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.
00:14:22We're over.
00:14:24Dex.
00:14:28Goodbye.
00:14:29Forever.
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 Heart tonight, and she said yes.
00:15:04Dad.
00:15:06I gave Dexter everything.
00:15:08I made his career, but...
00:15:11He doesn't want me.
00:15:12He never did.
00:15:14What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Heart.
00:15:17She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:21I'll come get you.
00:15:27Casey.
00:15:28Casey, where are you?
00:15:38It looks 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?
00:15:47Who 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.
00:15:54We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
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.
00:16:09I 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?
00:16:17Maybe the only way you'll live tonight
00:16:21is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room.
00:16:34Come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Heart, and we'll spare them.
00:16:38Choose your little assistant, and 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.
00:16:54Get 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!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him
00:17:13to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him, too?
00:17:17God, our 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.
00:17:44If 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?
00:18:06Dexter?
00:18:07Dexter?
00:18:08Dexter?
00:18:09Dexter?
00:18:10Dexter?
00:18:11Dexter, 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, okay?
00:18:21We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:31all right,
00:18:31you'll put the gun down,
00:18:32and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works.
00:18:36Dexy?
00:18:37You would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now.
00:18:41You can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:46all the memories,
00:18:47all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:49do they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:53Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:01Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I told you Scarlet,
00:19:05then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey,
00:19:07but I have to break her heart.
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:13Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me,
00:19:21did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him
00:19:26for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:30go ahead.
00:19:31Make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now,
00:19:33or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter.
00:19:35Dexter,
00:19:36please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:39You dumped her.
00:19:40You chose me.
00:19:41Don't let them murder me.
00:19:43That's female.
00:19:44We'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.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter,
00:20:00I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice.
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute.
00:20:10You told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice,
00:20:12Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one
00:20:15who saved your soulmate,
00:20:17and we'll take care of
00:20:18your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:27I guess
00:20:28this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:37Put the gun down!
00:20:40Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go.
00:20:55Let's go.
00:20:55Let's go.
00:20:56Okay.
00:20:56Oh, God.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:04It's gonna be okay.
00:21:06You left me to die.
00:21:08And 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, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done
00:21:22living in your shadow decks.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:31Casey, Casey.
00:21:32Hey.
00:21:40Casey.
00:21:42Casey, stop.
00:21:43Please, stop.
00:21:43Please, please.
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.
00:21:51Good 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.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Sure he does.
00:22:01Fame 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.
00:22:16I 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.
00:22:27Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's...
00:22:55That's Ed Reed,
00:22:55the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:59So sorry it 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...
00:23:25I was trying to...
00:23:29I was trying to...
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:40Casey!
00:23:41Casey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet.
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:50You should have seen it.
00:23:52I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank
00:23:55cheated on Dexter
00:23:56with some sugar daddy.
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:03Then 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, she 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 and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time,
00:24:19she was in bed
00:24:20with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, princess.
00:24:29Hmm?
00:24:30You are much too talented
00:24:31to be running
00:24:32some rock star's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now,

00:24:41Music Hall of Fame Gala,

00:24:43as the new CEO
00:24:45of Reed Records
00:24:46and my daughter,
00:24:48the 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.
00:25:16My back is pressed.
00:25:24The damn thing
00:25:25is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys,
00:25:28we have one week,
00:25:30alright,
00:25:30to finish this song
00:25:32before the release.
00:25:33The 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?
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlett,
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?
00:25:55Dexy,
00:25:57of course I am.
00:25:59It's just...
00:26:01Your new assistant,
00:26:02he's been messing,
00:26:04he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to
00:26:06sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah,
00:26:13that's because
00:26:14you don't know how 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,
00:26:22please,
00:26:22listen.
00:26:23It's Dexter.
00:26:24And I'm sorry,
00:26:25but my last assistant
00:26:27would have never
00:26:28screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
00:26:53Good luck staying
00:26:54at the top of the charts
00:26:55once I'm gone.
00:26:56Writing love songs
00:26:57used to be so easy
00:26:59with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number
00:27:15that has been disconnected
00:27:16or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright,
00:27:20she broke my heart
00:27:21and she moved on.
00:27:22So,
00:27:23why can't I do the same?
00:27:42look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation
00:27:45to the biggest industry
00:27:46event of the year.
00:27:47the Reed Records Music
00:27:49Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look,
00:27:57I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay,
00:27:59we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter,
00:28:02you said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down
00:28:04a track in hours.
00:28:05We 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
00:28:16meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire
00:28:18record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has
00:28:21a whole roster
00:28:21of scorned assistants
00:28:22lining up to get
00:28:23on their knees
00:28:23and work for a few
00:28:24extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go
00:28:26and you have to
00:28:27impress him,
00:28:28okay?
00:28:28He could make
00:28:29or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay,
00:28:32I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We
00:28:36are the industry's
00:28:38it couple.
00:28:39So now,
00:28:40forget about that
00:28:41stupid little
00:28:42assistant of yours
00:28:43and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean,

00:29:48Whoever she is,
00:29:48we need to impress her,

00:30:36Hey, Dex.
00:30:37Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already
00:30:42moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy
00:30:45walking away from him.
00:30:47So,
00:30:47why does my heart
00:30:49still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead,
00:31:07focus on kissing
00:31:08up to Ed Reed
00:31:09so he introduces
00:31:09us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen
00:31:12to her, Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do
00:31:15is get on their
00:31:15good side,
00:31:16and our album
00:31:16will go straight
00:31:17to number one.
00:31:19She's right.
00:31:19I have to impress
00:31:21Ed Reed and this
00:31:22new CEO
00:31:23if I want our
00:31:24album to be a hit.
00:31:41Scarlet,
00:31:42what a terrible
00:31:43surprise.
00:31:44I should have
00:31:44known you'd sneak
00:31:45in here hunting
00:31:46for your next
00:31:46sugar daddy,
00:31:47but this party
00:31:48is for the elite
00:31:49of the music
00:31:49industry only.
00:31:50I suggest you
00:31:51wait on the street
00:31:52corner with the
00:31:52other hookers.
00:31:53But the party's
00:31:54just getting started.
00:31:56I can't miss
00:31:57the big announcement.
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce
00:32:03the new CEO
00:32:04of Reed Records 2?
00:32:05I hear he's
00:32:06much more selective
00:32:08than Ed Reed,
00:32:09so don't expect him
00:32:09to look at you
00:32:10twice.
00:32:11And don't distract
00:32:12Dexter tonight.
00:32:13Leave,
00:32:13or I will have
00:32:14security escort you
00:32:15out.
00:32:16I'd love
00:32:17to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him,
00:32:24and those feelings
00:32:25don't just go away.
00:32:26How could she
00:32:27change his mind
00:32:28so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up
00:32:32all you want,
00:32:34but you will
00:32:35always just be
00:32:36Dexter's lowly
00:32:38little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she
00:32:40was someone
00:32:40important.
00:32:41She's just a
00:32:42desperate assistant
00:32:43playing dress-up.
00:32:45Imagine getting
00:32:46dragged by
00:32:46THE Scarlet Heart.
00:32:48I would never
00:32:48emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think
00:32:50she got the jewels,
00:32:51though?
00:32:51Probably out
00:32:52whoring herself
00:32:53to old men,
00:32:54just like all
00:32:55of those
00:32:55desperate social
00:32:56climbers in our
00:32:57industry.
00:32:58Hmm.
00:32:59They got that
00:32:59right.
00:33:00Hmm.
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something,
00:33:05Scarlet.
00:33:05Is it really me
00:33:07who's putting
00:33:08on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful.
00:33:18The new CEO
00:33:19might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're
00:33:23hot shit just
00:33:23because you're
00:33:24the real Echo.
00:33:25You may have
00:33:26the talent,
00:33:26but you have
00:33:27no money
00:33:27and no connections
00:33:28besides the ones
00:33:29you make in
00:33:30pay-by-the-hour
00:33:31hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me,
00:33:32I'm a beloved
00:33:33up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much
00:33:36as threaten me
00:33:37or my career
00:33:38ever again,
00:33:39I will get you
00:33:40canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard,
00:33:41your grandchildren
00:33:42won't be able
00:33:43to show their
00:33:43faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reid,
00:33:47hi,
00:33:48Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much
00:33:50for the invite.
00:33:51You've always
00:33:52been a true
00:33:53hero of mine.
00:33:54Well,
00:33:55I'd really love
00:33:55to put that
00:33:57incident with
00:33:58my assistant
00:33:59behind us.
00:34:01Dexter Hayes,
00:34:02of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh,
00:34:05I can't wait
00:34:06to see the look
00:34:06on his face
00:34:07when he realizes
00:34:09the assistant
00:34:09he rejected
00:34:10is my daughter,
00:34:12the heiress
00:34:13to the Reid
00:34:13record's fortune.
00:34:15Well,

00:34:15sir,
00:34:16you may or may
00:34:17not have heard
00:34:17about the record
00:34:18that Scarlet
00:34:19Hart and I
00:34:20are working on.
00:34:21I really think
00:34:22that between
00:34:23my lyrics
00:34:23and, well,
00:34:24her producing
00:34:25and your musical
00:34:26genius
00:34:27over the last
00:34:27many decades,
00:34:28I think we could
00:34:29really make
00:34:29something special.
00:34:31Well,
00:34:31you make a
00:34:31compelling point.
00:34:34And, you know,
00:34:35if it's not too much,
00:34:36it actually might
00:34:36be helpful
00:34:37for the record.
00:34:37Well,
00:34:38maybe if you could
00:34:38put in a good word
00:34:39with the new CEO,
00:34:42well,
00:34:42that would make me
00:34:43forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you
00:34:46put in a good word
00:34:47yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO
00:34:48is already here.
00:35:02Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've been trying to call you the last
00:35:11few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:16I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again,
00:35:21but after what he did to me, I 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, dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm going to stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander
00:35:51and 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.
00:36:00Yeah, 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, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Oh, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Read Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:43But 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, who has written hundreds of songs and never
00:36:54put her name on one of them.
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through 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.
00:37:10He's going to call us on stage.

00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:03But Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got to know the truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:29What's wrong?
00:44:31Your 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 too.
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten what 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.
00:45:17But 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.
00:46:31Hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months.
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Haye-sized hole to fill, and 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 with me after what I did.
00:47:02I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank 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.
00:47:36I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Wow.
00:47:40Hired to be blown away.
00:47:43Actually, I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind.
00:47:45So 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 actually love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:34Exposing asshole 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?
00:48:55Absolutely.
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 won't need a label to sign me.
00:49:08I won't need a label to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I get 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.
00:49:22Everyone 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.
00:49:29But 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.
00:49:38Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'm gonna break your fucking hands.
00:49:44Mr. Hayes!
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 twice, 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.
00:50:12You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19The name is KC Ring.
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.
00:50:40Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:53KC, I've been telling you for months, Sasha Silver is little-
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.
00:51:05Yes!
00:51:05He could have done-
00:51:05It's okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:07Newsflash!
00:51:08I'm not your assistant!
00:51:10Anymore!
00:51:11So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing.
00:51:15Okay?
00:51:15Okay.
00:51:15So, stop...
00:51:18Following me.
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:26I'll stop following you the 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.
00:51:37You're way...
00:51:40Too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks, I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking listen.
00:52:00Now 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 I 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! I 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?
00:53:15I've done 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 out for everyone to see.
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled.
00:53:56Who 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,
00:54:54if she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it.
00:55:00I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:55:09You wanna 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? Or 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 gonna go as Echo, oh, you're gonna do it right.
00:55:39With the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:50What?
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,
00:56:20and I'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.
00:56:47Ugh, it'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,
00:57:14we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:17Hmm.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlet.
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,
00:57:32you should have this.
00:57:41Oh, my God!
00:57:48Oh, my God!
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Oh!
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar!
00:58:02Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh, my God.
00:58:11Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:13You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:19Just kidding.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlet, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyoncé used this on her last album.
00:58:48This instrument is worthy of Echo,
00:58:51the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:58:55Actually, actually,
00:58:57this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection
00:59:01is on hold for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies, my apologies.
00:59:08Apologies, but...
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 Scarlet
00:59:21from choking on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you,
00:59:28you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:38Hi, Dexy.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter,
00:59:44she just insulted your fiancé.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:50Ma,
00:59:50do you really want to have a conversation
00:59:52right here and now
00:59:53about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlet's talent as a producer
00:59:58is the reason you're as famous
00:59:59as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do
01:00:03is show her a little respect.
01:00:06You know what?
01:00:07Actually,
01:00:07I'm sorry, you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect
01:00:11to the one person
01:00:13who's always been there for me.
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar
01:00:17for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes,
01:00:21it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know,
01:00:23why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:25how much it costs
01:00:26and I'll pay it
01:00:27whatever it is
01:00:27right here and now.
01:00:29Miss Reed,
01:00:31as the new owner of the store,
01:00:32how much would you like
01:00:33to charge the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:36What?
01:00:36What?
01:00:37What?
01:00:38What?
01:00:39I'm sorry,
01:00:40I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:45for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think
01:00:51I need a music store?
01:00:53Well,
01:00:53as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:54you probably don't know.
01:00:55But I'm someone
01:00:57who cares about you a lot.
01:00:58Why the hell not?
01:01:01Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even
01:01:04a real musician
01:01:06and you gave her
01:01:07the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us
01:01:10pay her
01:01:11for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett can have it for free
01:01:15as long as she shows us
01:01:17the big hit
01:01:18that she's working on.
01:01:21Casey,
01:01:22I am not stooping
01:01:24to your level.
01:01:24And besides,
01:01:26we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you
01:01:29about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done nothing
01:01:35but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face
01:01:38with no talent
01:01:39to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:47I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed
01:01:51and I'm the CEO
01:01:52of Reed Records.
01:01:53Two,
01:01:54my birthday was months ago.
01:01:56Actually,
01:01:57the night that you
01:01:58proposed to Scarlett
01:01:59so your gift
01:02:00means nothing.
01:02:03Did you know
01:02:04I was actually gonna tell you
01:02:05my secret that night?
01:02:06What's secret?
01:02:10Secret?
01:02:11Hold on.
01:02:12What are you talking about?
01:02:12What's 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
01:02:22with 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.
01:02:42I want you to get
01:02:43the best equipment
01:02:44and the best instruments
01:02:45to her collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:49Oh,
01:02:50one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:58But,
01:02:59Dexter,
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.
01:03:17The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans
01:03:23are gonna be hearing
01:03:24your song.
01:03:25It's exactly
01:03:25what you deserve.
01:03:27The 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
01:03:32Music 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
01:03:53the show without 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.
01:04:15Mm.
01:04:16I'm getting
01:04:17a lecture about
01:04:18talent from 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.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:56The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer
01:05:08to send me
01:05:09to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right,
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?
01:05:22I have an idea.
01:05:25You're Echo, 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's
01:05:45longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us
01:05:52a live track
01:05:52right here, right now?
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
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
01:06:03what any of these buttons even 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 in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done.
01:06:36Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:39Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop
01:06:41with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay,
01:06:44can you boost the treble
01:06:45on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:47And can you pan
01:06:48from stage left to stage right
01:06:49real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn,
01:07:00I guess you're gonna have to do
01:07:01with the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means
01:07:03recording the instruments live,
01:07:05looping 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 the first time
01:07:11one of Dexter's tracks
01:07:12have been corrupted.
01:07:14If I didn't know any better,
01:07:15I'd think you were
01:07:16trying to sabotage it.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:19why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real?
01:07:21Okay,
01:07:21here,
01:07:21here, Echo.
01:07:22Oh, okay.
01:07:23So,
01:07:24just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What,
01:07:29you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet,
01:07:40you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:43I could
01:07:44if I had something
01:07:46other than this shoddy
01:07:47Reed 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,
01:07:53I 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
01:08:01a superstar?
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:05Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:07Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo,
01:08:09okay?
01:08:10Record some MIDI 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
01:08:17is going to be able
01:08:18to 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 even 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
01:08:55to make that racket
01:08:57sound like music.
01:09:18Oh 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.
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really going to give up
01:09:37that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it
01:09:40all away because 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 a 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 with those
01:10:08awful jokes.
01:10:09Your entire life's work
01:10:11is on the line.
01:10:12Mom,
01:10:13you heard the track, okay?
01:10:14There's no saving the 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, no.
01:10:38There's no,
01:10:39there's no other...
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41Hey!
01:10:42Time to let a 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 to 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,
01:11:33sing me the first line
01:11:34of your song,
01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now?
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.
01:12:05Good.
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.
01:12:42You 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.
01:12:58I'm not the kind
01:13:00for sure.
01:13:03This is not
01:13:04a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:19Casey.
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,
01:13:31Scarlet?
01:13:32Don't listen to her!
01:13:35I'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
01:13:48the truth.
01:13:54She's the one
01:13:54that saved the song.
01:13:55No, that was me!
01:13:57I already did all the work.
01:13:58She's just
01:13:59taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix
01:14:01the track live,
01:14:02Dexter.
01:14:03so that makes
01:14:04it my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome
01:14:07to put it on
01:14:07your next album,
01:14:08but you're gonna
01:14:09have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think
01:14:12you could afford my fee.
01:14:14I think you might
01:14:15just be surprised.
01:14:17200 million.
01:14:19200 million?
01:14:21For one song?
01:14:22That's more than
01:14:23our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:26And I want
01:14:27my name to be credited.
01:14:30Bad deal,
01:14:30Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want
01:14:35a public apology
01:14:36from Scarlett Hart
01:14:38and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we
01:14:41apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean,
01:14:43you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just go ahead
01:14:45and leave,
01:14:45and then Scarlett
01:14:46could finish the album,
01:14:47and Dexter's career
01:14:48could crash and burn.
01:14:49So,
01:14:50what will it be?
01:14:56The 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
01:15:15apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on,
01:15:18let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlett?
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo!
01:15:24I pretended,
01:15:25and I never wrote
01:15:25or produced
01:15:26any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:27They are happy!
01:15:31They are happy!
01:15:34Wait,
01:15:35that's not
01:15:36what I really meant!
01:15:37Dexter,
01:15:39she manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiance!
01:15:41You believe-
01:15:42Scarlett,
01:15:42you are exactly
01:15:43what we all see you.
01:15:45You fucking brought
01:15:45and you're a damn liar!
01:15:48Casey
01:15:49is the one
01:15:50who built my career.
01:15:51Hell,
01:15:51she's the one
01:15:51who saved the damn song!
01:15:54She's the only one
01:15:55who ever cared about me
01:15:57or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement
01:16:00is 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
01:16:29and blacklisting you
01:16:30from the industry.
01:16:31Tour is over.
01:16:38You got yourself
01:16:39a D.O. case.
01:16:47hit.
01:16:53If we're not here for long
01:16:58Tell me where
01:17:01would we belong
01:17:03My back is fast
01:17:07against the wall
01:17:09I need you to know
01:17:12I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:15Your name's on fire
01:17:19in my veins
01:17:22It's burning for my chains
01:17:26Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:32Who am I to live like?
01:17:37This mirror shows
01:17:39a thousand faces
01:17:41But you're not
01:17:43thinking about
01:17:47your word
01:17:48To yourself
01:17:49And you're not
01:17:49A lot
01:17:50I're about
01:17:50To experience
01:17:50or
01:17:51To experience
01:17:53I'm not
01:17:54I'm not
01:17:54I'm I
01:17:57Not
01:17:57A lot
01:18:05Throughout
01:18:07I need you to tell me
01:18:07I need you to tell me
01:18:40Ms. Reed, the whole world wants to know. Are you the award-winning 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! You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you had to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh, my God!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey.
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 to
01:20:06save 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 the 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.
01:21:31If 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?
01:22:20I 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...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And we can go our separate ways.
01:22:55We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
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...
01:23:36I'm 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, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I 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 car 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.
01:26:59Things goes on, there's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking for all you do.
01:27:12Was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreated.
01:27:17Every time I look at the moon's fall, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see, that it's time for you and me.
01:27:35Was the best so far, we just let on.
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am, just let on.
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:59My dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:03Yeah, yeah.
01:28:09I'm taking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:28:13Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:18I'm here and I'm in my heart until we're dead.
01:28:23And every time I remember to smile, I imagine the world we're together.
01:28:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:34Yeah...
01:28:35Yeah, yeah.
01:28:39I'm here.
