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 claim every interview, and I'm going to tell you, I'm going to call you on the phone.

00:09:00A mind-ioning
00:09:12Greek
00:09:12Greek
00:09:12Greek
00:09:12Greek
00:09:12Greek
00:09:12Greek
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.
00:09:43And 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!
00:10:02Oh my god!
00:10:07Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:15I 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.
00:10:33All right, I can play along with his engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:39heart.
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.
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her.
00:11:23I owe her.
00:11:24Okay?
00:11:24I owe her, all right?
00:11:26I don't-
00:11:26You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant.
00:11:33What has she ever done for you?
00:11:35Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:37She made me who I am today.
00:11:39Okay?
00:11:39So 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?
00:12:09Come 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?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:23To 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.
00:12:38Just...
00:12:39Your music.
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:44Hm?
00:12:46This...
00:12:47Is my notebook.
00:12:49Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:54That's my notebook?
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:58I'm a musical genius.
00:13:00And you're just...
00:13:02Dexter'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...
00:13:10I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:12Dexie, baby.
00:13:14I know all about girls like her.
00:13:17They 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.
00:13:25Dexter, 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? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go right in the car, please.
00:13:43But, Casey...
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:51So, please just...
00:13:52Just tell me the truth.
00:13:54Okay, right now!
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever.
00:14:00Please.
00:14:04Please.
00:14:12The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:22We're over.
00:14:25Dex...
00:14:27Goodbye.
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 Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00What?
00:15:05Dad...
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.
00:15:14What 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.
00:15:24I...
00:15:26Casey!
00:15:28Casey!
00:15:28Where 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.
00:15:51We won't hurt you.
00:15:52We're your friends too.
00:15:54We'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!
00:16:09I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:11We were in love.
00:16:13Or...
00:16:13I thought we were.
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:18The only way you'll live tonight...
00:16:21...is 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 Hart 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 fiancee?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:14You fucked him too?
00:17:17God!
00:17:18Our 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, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true!
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now 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, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:48single 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!
00:18:10Dexter, help me!
00:18:12They hit me and then they tied me up and 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, alright?
00:18:31You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
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, you can't let me die!
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me,
00:18:49do they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will 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 told you Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey, but 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?
00:19:24You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:39You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me!
00:19:43That's him out.
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in 3...
00:19:482...
00:19:481...
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, alright?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet.
00:20:00Dexter...
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, you told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:17And we'll take care of your 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.
00:20:36Get down!
00:20:39Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey!
00:20:43Drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go! Let's go!
00:20:55Let's go!
00:20:56Okay, oh god, okay.
00:20:58Alright.
00:21:04It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?!
00:21:06You left me to die!
00:21:07And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:11I was right to walk away!
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:17Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm...
00:21:21Done!
00:21:22Living in your shadow decks!
00:21:25Goodbye!
00:21:31Casey!
00:21:31Casey!
00:21:32Casey!
00:21:32Casey!
00:21:40Casey!
00:21:42Casey!
00:21:42Casey, stop!
00:21:43Please, stop!
00:21:44Please, please, please!
00:21:45Where are you gonna go?
00:21:46What are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47What?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:21:54You'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, Dexter Hayes!
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time!
00:22:17I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:26No!
00:22:27Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:59So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:05Take me home.
00:23:17I should see you!
00:23:21I was trying to!
00:23:24Casey!
00:23:26You're mine!
00:23:27I was trying to!
00:23:28Casey Hayes!
00:23:30If he wants...
00:23:36KC!
00:23:40KC!
00:23:41KC!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet.
00:23:49Mrs Hayes.
00:23:50You should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with 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, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought KC loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:22No!
00:24:27Forget him, Princess.
00:24:29Hmm?
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:42announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:49It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:01My back is pressed.
00:25:09My back is pressed.
00:25:11I got myself a little bit from now.
00:25:16No, no!
00:25:19Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:32The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in ours.
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:45Are you really Echo?
00:25:51Are you really Echo?
00:25:55Dexy.
00:25:57Of course I am.
00:25:59It's just your new assistant.
00:26:02He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:23It's Dexy.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screamed 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, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:22So why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:24a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse tangled hair or her dull, crusty skin or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:02I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:14How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our 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, the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:49She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look!
00:29:52Here she is now!
00:30:04No fucking way!
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey, Dex.
00:30:37Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so 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 and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right.
00:31:19I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:41Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I 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.
00:31:54But the party's just getting started.
00:31:56I 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 so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:13Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:15I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him and 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.
00:32:34But 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.
00:32:48I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:54Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm.
00:32:59They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm.
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:05Is it really me who'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, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make
00:33:30in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard.
00:33:42Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed.
00:33:47Hi.
00:33:48Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:51You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I'd really love to put that, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:10is my daughter, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:15Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and
00:34:20I are working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:27over the last many decades, I 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, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, well, that would make me
00:34:43forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here.
00:35:02Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:35:09Uh, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:14that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But 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.
00:35:41Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna 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.
00:35:59Yeah, right.
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys.
00:36:09Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex.
00:36:18You forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed 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.
00:36:51Who has written hundreds of songs and never put 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 gonna call us on stage.
00:37:12All right, this is it.
00:37:13He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:16I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess.
00:37:26And the light of my life.
00:37:29My daughter.
00:37:30Casey Reed.
00:37:35What?
00:37:37What?
00:37:41No.
00:37:49Casey.
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit.
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:11She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:19She just committed career suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:23For the lady of the hour.
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad, this is too much.
00:38:31There was something from the old man.
00:38:33And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:36This cannot be happening.
00:38:38She's a nobody.
00:38:42I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:49He was her father.
00:38:51This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:39:00How could I be so blind?
00:39:08Suits you?
00:39:10Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:31I just...
00:39:32I still miss you.
00:39:42Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:52But, I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey, I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:18I lied?
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen, you have to believe me, please.
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing, I'll...
00:40:32I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just, is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, Tank, your career.
00:40:43I made his career.
00:40:46I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:49You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:53Wait.
00:40:58This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:01Why you left me for dead.
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:08Threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:14No, no, please.
00:41:14No, no, no.
00:41:15Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:28Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:40Effective immediately.
00:41:42Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:48You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:54not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:57Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this.
00:42:00I don't care about that.
00:42:00I've always loved you.
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:42:05She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:09Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:12She can produce songs.
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:17Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:19She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:22Okay, mom, mom, stop.
00:42:24You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this.
00:42:50I've known you for years.
00:42:55I've known you for years.
00:43:05I've known you for years.
00:43:12It looks like
00:43:15Lost in time
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:22I'm still
00:43:24And I'm still
00:43:26I'm still missing you
00:43:35I'm still missing you
00:43:40It looks like
00:43:42Heart and mind
00:43:45I'm still missing you
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, Dax.
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 too.
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.
00:45:31If you tell me that you want to be with me,
00:45:35we'll be together.
00:45:40We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46that 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,
00:46:19why 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
00:46:38a hundred million strings.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hay
00:46:42size 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.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you,
00:46:50of all people,
00:46:51get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey!
00:46:58Casey has every right
00:46:59to be angry with me
00:47:00after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank you for meeting me
00:47:18on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:21women who speak too much.
00:47:23I've made an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:26in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means,
00:47:32but you want to hear
00:47:33one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:36I'm very excited
00:47:37about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Well, hired to be blown away.
00:47:43Actually, I was hoping
00:47:44for a live performance
00:47:45if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there
00:47:47faking their music with AI,
00:47:48you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:52But, you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first
00:47:55to this potential partnership?
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:15I do love straight vodka.
00:48:22Hmm.
00:48:24But, you know what I
00:48:27actually
00:48:29love 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
00:48:40you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you
00:48:42to read records?
00:48:44Now you know
00:48:45who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could
00:48:49just walk in here
00:48:50and demand a live performance
00:48:51from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look
00:48:54like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:56And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure
00:49:01no label will ever
00:49:02sign you
00:49:03no matter how talented
00:49:04you are.
00:49:06I want me to label
00:49:07to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can read records
00:49:09for myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping
00:49:15you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi
00:49:16will be here any minute
00:49:17to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos
00:49:19all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see
00:49:22what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slept
00:49:24your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have
00:49:29no choice
00:49:29but to hand you
00:49:31and your company
00:49:31over to me.
00:49:32You're delusional.
00:49:34Stay away from me.
00:49:36Be honest.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37with me.
00:49:38Hey!
00:49:39Let's get your
00:49:40fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'll break your
00:49:43fucking hands.

00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine.
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you
00:49:56for that.
00:49:57I'd love to see you
00:49:57try as we are.
00:49:58You're just a
00:49:59wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not
00:50:01have a leg
00:50:02to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have
00:50:11produced a sick-ass
00:50:12record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted
00:50:13to defend this
00:50:14used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19The name
00:50:20is Casey Ring.

00:51:02Do you have any
00:51:02idea what he
00:51:03could have done
00:51:03to you?
00:51:03He could have
00:51:04raped you.
00:51:05Yes!
00:51:05Okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:08Newsflash!

00:51:54want to marry
00:51:56Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking
00:51:59listen.
00:52:00Now you're really
00:52:01starting to piss me
00:52:01off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:14what am I
00:52:16supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she
00:52:18doesn't exist

00:52:32side piece
00:52:34and you
00:52:35know it.
00:52:45Boss,
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:48Thank you
00:52:49for your help
00:52:50today,
00:52:51Dexter.
00:52:53please stop
00:52:55following me
00:52:58or else it's
00:52:59going to get
00:52:59harder and
00:53:00harder to walk
00:53:01away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even
00:53:14here?
00:53:15Done what you
00:53:15asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha
00:53:17Silver's fraudulence
00:53:18and drug abuse
00:53:18have been leaked
00:53:19to the press.
00:53:20No label,
00:53:21studio,
00:53:21Brown will go
00:53:22anywhere near
00:53:22his net worth
00:53:23plummeted to
00:53:24zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the
00:53:26rice to his
00:53:27music.
00:53:29I'm going to
00:53:30give that to
00:53:30Casey as a
00:53:30gift.
00:53:36I heard what
00:53:37happened with
00:53:38Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was
00:53:39way too risky,
00:53:40Casey.
00:53:40Look, I'm far
00:53:41from Dexter's
00:53:42biggest fan,
00:53:43but that could
00:53:43have gotten
00:53:43real ugly if
00:53:44he hadn't
00:53:45shown up.
00:53:45I could have
00:53:46handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also
00:53:48a huge leak
00:53:48in the press.
00:53:49All the
00:53:50Sasha Silvers
00:53:51dirty laundry
00:53:52out for
00:53:52everyone to
00:53:53see.
00:53:53He's been,
00:53:54what do you
00:53:54kids call it,
00:53:55canceled.
00:53:56Who took
00:53:56him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even
00:54:05bought the
00:54:05rights to
00:54:06Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't
00:54:08sing anything
00:54:08anywhere or
00:54:10get sued to
00:54:10hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down
00:54:12Sasha Silver?
00:54:14For me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as
00:54:17bad as I
00:54:17thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he
00:54:19should stop
00:54:19interfering himself
00:54:20with my life.
00:54:25The world
00:54:26famous music
00:54:27producer Echo
00:54:28is set to
00:54:28finally reveal
00:54:29their identity
00:54:30at the legendary
00:54:31Universal Music
00:54:32Awards tomorrow
00:54:32night.
00:54:34Scarlet's
00:54:35getting desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to
00:54:36convince the world
00:54:37she's Echo
00:54:38before it can
00:54:38expose her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up
00:54:41the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later,
00:54:43Dexter will realize
00:54:43she can't even
00:54:44hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less
00:54:46produce a hit
00:54:46track.
00:54:48Scarlet is
00:54:48nothing if she's
00:54:49not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter
00:54:51wouldn't look at
00:54:51her twice, let
00:54:52alone marry her,
00:54:54if she wasn't
00:54:55pretending to be
00:54:55a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how
00:54:57she thinks she's
00:54:58going to get away
00:54:58with it.
00:55:00I think it's
00:55:01time the world
00:55:03finds out who
00:55:03the real Echo
00:55:04is.
00:55:09You want to
00:55:09go to the UMAs
00:55:11as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited
00:55:12me every year and
00:55:13I've always refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam
00:55:16go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world
00:55:18finds out the truth
00:55:19about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world?
00:55:21Or Dexter?
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed
00:55:30when he proposed
00:55:30to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter
00:55:32deserves all the
00:55:33recognition of the
00:55:33world.
00:55:35But if you're
00:55:36going to go as Echo,
00:55:37oh, you're going to
00:55:37do it right.
00:55:38Ha ha, with the best
00:55:40equipment money can
00:55:41buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see
00:55:45my princess for the
00:55:46queen that she is.
00:55:51You're the best,
00:55:52dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes, it's so good
00:56:09to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:13Yes, my future
00:56:16daughter-in-law is
00:56:17performing at the
00:56:18Universal Music Awards
00:56:19tomorrow, and I'd like
00:56:21to gift her something
00:56:21to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these
00:56:24mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something
00:56:29one-of-a-kind,
00:56:30just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the perfect gift
00:56:33for her, a custom
00:56:35Fender Signature
00:56:36Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't touch
00:56:44that.
00:56:44Those instruments are
00:56:45only for our VIP
00:56:46clientele.
00:56:48Ugh, it's you.
00:56:50Get this career
00:56:51sabotaging stalker
00:56:53out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing
00:56:57our VIP customers.
00:56:58I have to ask you
00:56:59to leave now.
00:57:05I'm the CEO
00:57:06of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as much
00:57:10of a right to be
00:57:11here as you.
00:57:12Because of your
00:57:13Nepo-baby connections,
00:57:15we all know money
00:57:15can't buy talent.
00:57:17Hmm.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:23fiancee and
00:57:24creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really
00:57:26know anything about
00:57:27music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:30in that case.
00:57:33You should have
00:57:34this.
00:57:40No!
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:48What?
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of
00:57:54my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed
00:58:00a million dollar
00:58:01guitar.
00:58:03Security!
00:58:03Take this woman
00:58:04away!
00:58:05Hold on just
00:58:06one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my God.
00:58:11I need to speak to
00:58:12the owner about an
00:58:13offer.
00:58:14You think you
00:58:14set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes.
00:58:15Of course,
00:58:16Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:19Just kidding.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlett,
00:58:33ignore this
00:58:34wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find
00:58:37a better option.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used this
00:58:46on her last album.
00:58:47This instrument is
00:58:49worthy of Echo,
00:58:51the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey,
00:58:54hey, hey.
00:58:55Actually, actually,
00:58:56this guitar is no longer
00:58:58available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire
00:59:00collection is on hold
00:59:02for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm going to just
00:59:07my apologies,
00:59:08my apologies,
00:59:08my apologies.
00:59:09No, no, no, no,
00:59:10no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look,
00:59:13we just want the one
00:59:14guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come
00:59:15to a generous
00:59:16agreement.
00:59:17You could pay all
00:59:18you want for the
00:59:18guitar, but it's not
00:59:20going to stop Scarlett
00:59:21from choking
00:59:22on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you,
00:59:28you little
00:59:30bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:39Hi, Dexy.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter,
00:59:45she just insulted
00:59:46your Beyonce.
00:59:48You need to do
00:59:49something.
00:59:50Mom,
00:59:50do you really want
00:59:51to have a conversation
00:59:52right here and now
00:59:53about the current
00:59:53status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent
00:59:57as a producer
00:59:58is the reason
00:59:58you're as famous
00:59:59as you are,
01:00:01Dexter.
01:00:01the least you
01:00:02could do
01:00:03is show her
01:00:04a little respect.
01:00:06You know,
01:00:07actually,
01:00:08I'm sorry,
01:00:08you're right.
01:00:09I should
01:00:10show respect
01:00:11to the one
01:00:12person who's
01:00:13always been
01:00:13there for me.
01:00:16please ring up
01:00:16the guitar
01:00:17for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you
01:00:19would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes,
01:00:21it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know,
01:00:23why don't you
01:00:23ask the new
01:00:25owner how much
01:00:25it costs
01:00:26and I'll pay it
01:00:27whatever it is
01:00:27right here and
01:00:28now.
01:00:29Miss Reed,
01:00:31as the new
01:00:31owner of the
01:00:32store,
01:00:33how much would
01:00:33you like to
01:00:33charge the guitar
01:00:34for?
01:00:35Wait,
01:00:35what?
01:00:36What?
01:00:39I'm sorry,
01:00:40I'm the new
01:00:41owner?
01:00:44Consider a late
01:00:44birthday gift
01:00:45for my
01:00:46former assistant.
01:00:47You did this
01:00:48for me?
01:00:50You really think
01:00:51I need a music
01:00:51store?
01:00:53Well,
01:00:53as CEO of
01:00:54Reed Records,
01:00:54you probably don't
01:00:55know,
01:00:55but I'm someone
01:00:57who cares about
01:00:57you a lot.
01:00:58Why the hell
01:00:58not?
01:01:00Dexter,
01:01:02are 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
01:01:10us pay her
01:01:11for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh,
01:01:13it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have
01:01:15it for free
01:01:15as long as she
01:01:16shows us the big
01:01:17hit that she's
01:01:18working on.
01:01:21Casey,
01:01:22I am not
01:01:23stooping to your
01:01:24level.
01:01:24And besides,
01:01:26we're late for
01:01:26hair and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to
01:01:28you about this
01:01:29later.
01:01:31You will
01:01:32regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done
01:01:35nothing but ruin
01:01:36you.
01:01:36She's just a
01:01:37pretty face
01:01:38with no talent
01:01:39to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:47One,
01:01:48I'm not your
01:01:49assistant anymore.

01:01:51and I'm the
01:01:51CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:53Two,
01:01:54my birthday
01:01:55was months ago,
01:01:57actually the night
01:01:57that you proposed
01:01:58to Scarlett,
01:01:59so your gift
01:02:00means nothing.
01:02:04Did you know
01:02:04I was actually
01:02:05going to tell you
01:02:05my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11Secret?
01:02:11Hold on,
01:02:12what are you
01:02:12talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell
01:02:17him the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted
01:02:20to spend every
01:02:21single day of the
01:02:22rest of my life
01:02:22life with you?
01:02:26I don't need you.
01:02:27But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41don't pay attention
01:02:41to anything she just
01:02:42said.
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.
01:02:58Dexter, you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:14Mr. Hayes,
01:03:15Ms. Hart,
01:03:16you're on in five.
01:03:16The broadcast will
01:03:18begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans
01:03:23are going to be
01:03:23hearing your song.
01:03:25It's exactly
01:03:25what 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
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 a lecture
01:04:18about talent from you.
01:04:20Oh, guess we'll see
01:04:21who's real
01:04:22and who's fake tonight.
01:04:24Wreck-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.
01:04:57The 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 make
01:05:06that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's
01:05:08producer to send me
01:05:09onto 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.
01:05:17We're gonna ruin the broadcast
01:05:19and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:21What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea.
01:05:25You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo,
01:05:42the award-winning producer
01:05:44and Dexter Hayes'
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
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 the treble
01:06:45on the EQ in 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 you're
01:07:00going to 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 any better,
01:07:15I'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?
01:07:21Okay, here,
01:07:21here, Echo.
01:07:23Okay, so
01:07:24just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What, you have
01:07:29performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet?
01:07:40Scarlet, 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,
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, 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!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo,
01:08:09okay?
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
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
01:08:24even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:26Not when I'm so close
01:08:28to marrying Dexter
01:08:29and becoming
01:08:29a 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
01:09:28the UMAs.
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really going to
01:09:36give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it
01:09:40all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:43That 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
01:09:53to once told me
01:09:55that there's a lot more
01:09:56to life than just
01:09:57your 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, no.
01:10:38There's no,
01:10:39there's no other act.
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 of Scarlet?
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
01:11:05mix a 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.
01:11:38Right now.
01:11:44I am not the 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
01:12:09make 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.
01:12:46I mean,
01:12:47you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:54a musical genius?
01:12:55That sound,
01:12:56it's familiar.
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!
01:13:07Stop 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!
01:13:34I'm Echo!
01:13:38I didn't even
01:13:39make that 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
01:13:48knows the truth.
01:13:54She's the one
01:13:54that saved the song.
01:13:55No,
01:13:56that was me!
01:13:57I already did
01:13:58all 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
01:14:04property.
01:14:06You're welcome
01:14:07to put it
01:14:07on your next album,
01:14:08but you're gonna
01:14:09have to pay me
01:14:09for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think
01:14:12you could afford
01:14:12my 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?
01:14:25And,
01:14:26I want my name
01:14:27to be credited.
01:14:28Stop!
01:14:28Stop!
01:14:29Stop!
01:14:30Bad deal,
01:14:30Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public
01:14:35apology from
01:14:37Scarlet 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
01:14:44go ahead and leave
01:14:45and then Scarlet
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.
01:15:20Scarlet?
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:23I'm not Echo.
01:15:24I pretended
01:15:24and 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-
01:15:42Scarlet,
01:15:42you are exactly
01:15:43what we all see you.
01:15:44You fucking brought
01:15:45and you're a damn liar.
01:15:48Casey is 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.
01:16:24Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract
01:16:29and blacklisting you
01:16:30from the industry.
01:16:31Two years old.
01:16:37You got yourself

01:18:11what
01:18:11And You're
01:18:39Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know.
01:18:42Are 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!
01:19:01You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine!
01:19:08I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Heisei!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:28No!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:39Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my God!
01:19:42Oh!
01:19:46Hey.
01:19:47Hey.
01:19:47Hey.
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?
01:20:18But 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, you 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.
01:21:35Hopefully, he'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?
01:21:51Dexter?
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.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:09I...
01:22:12I...
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 you.
01:22:34I miss him too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:39You saved my life and I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free and we can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
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.
01:23:13Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:28That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:32I 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.
01:24:01I 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 reminds 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 song write 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 you 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.
01:26:21I love you too.
01:26:35Say goodbye.
01:26:38Every time I remember to smile
01:26:43I imagined a world where together
01:26:58This goes on
01:27:02There's stuff in the stockings
01:27:05But I am still walking
01:27:07But all you do
01:27:10Was 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
01:27:34It's the best so far
01:27:39We're just a little
01:27:44Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:49I forget where I am
01:27:52Just let on
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:58I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:02Yeah, yeah
01:28:08I'm taking and talking
01:28:11But I will be watching
01:28:17The mirror in heaven
01:28:20My heart is still beating
01:28:22Every time I remember to smile
01:28:27I imagine a world where together
01:28:30I don't know how to do it
01:28:35I don't know how to do it
01:28:37I don't know how to do it
01:28:38It's a little
01:28:39I love it
01:28:39I know how to do it
01:28:40I love it
01:28:40I love it
