00:00:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:24Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:27I chose to stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rockstar I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:08I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song.
00:01:20You lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:25I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:44And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:12Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:15Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:22Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:29His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:04Pick upŠ°ŃŃs before the club.

00:03:18So sweet
00:03:20and deep. Comes out
00:03:21the light. To me,
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:46he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of buzz for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for you all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:18Dexter Hayes!
00:04:25Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:28I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:30Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be right back.
00:04:53There, your gear from the studio. Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:59Dad, we've talked about this. In public, I am not your daughter and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him. You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight, but for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh my god, these are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:46Is Casey Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:58Play the song! Play the song!
00:06:02God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:11I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:01Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex, and next to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44I'm a man as I'm a man.
00:07:53I'm a man as I'm a man.
00:08:12The time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know when I was running out of time.
00:08:33Go on, abalone.
00:08:38Come on, abalone.
00:08:40I'm a man, I'm a man.
00:08:44Well you've got the hand, I know when you were hurting you or me from yourself.
00:08:47Aw!
00:08:47I'm a man you're hungry.
00:08:50While you're hungry, I'm a man.
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hay!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:37I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:51Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god!
00:10:03Dexie!
00:10:04Yes!
00:10:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:25It was all a lie.
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:05Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything!
00:11:14I loved you!
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her, okay?
00:11:20I owe her, alright?
00:11:21I don't-
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant.
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:29Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:32She made me who I am today.
00:11:34Okay?
00:11:35So-so-so that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is.
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:02How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty.
00:12:33Just your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook.
00:12:44Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first little platinum album.
00:12:48That's my notebook.
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius.
00:12:55And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Get back!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02See what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't...
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:06Dexie, baby.
00:13:08I know all about girls like her.
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:17She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this!
00:13:23Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:24No!
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car.
00:13:32Please.
00:13:39But Casey...
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:45So, please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:49Okay, right now!
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:54Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:19Dex...
00:14:21Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything.
00:15:03I made his career but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.
00:15:08What happened princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:35I'll go get you.
00:15:36He's sleeping on the planet.
00:15:39He's asleep.
00:15:39I have to go get her up.
00:15:40What's going on?
00:15:41I have to go get her up.
00:15:47too. We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart. We're just trying to teach this filthy
00:15:53skink a lesson. We saw you kissing Dexter backstage. You're trying to steal him from
00:16:01his soulmate. I wasn't stealing him. We were in love. Or I thought we were. We'll see about
00:16:10that, won't we? The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:21Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room. Come alone. Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them. Choose your little
00:16:33assistant and they both die. You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter? Casey? So she never left a concert. Get back to the concert
00:16:48hall now. Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is. You psychos. Are you hoping
00:16:59that he chooses you over his fiance? Obviously not. She's just some nobody who slept with him
00:17:06to break into the industry. You fucked him too? God. Our precious Dexter. Soiled by a dirty
00:17:15star fucker. Girls like you don't deserve him. You don't deserve to live. No one knows what the
00:17:22real Echo looks like. So if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her. That's not true. First you
00:17:31steal my identity now you're trying to get me murdered. You're psychotic. No, don't worry
00:17:36Casey. If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the
00:17:41lead single on our new album. You're crazier than they are. Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Dexter. Dexter. Dexter. Dexter, help me. They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're
00:18:08trying to kill me. Okay guys, let's just put the guns down, okay? We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:16We're your biggest fans. We're doing this for you. Okay, well if you love me, alright? You'll put
00:18:24the gun down and then let these two go, please. No, that's not how this works. Dexy, you would be
00:18:31nothing without Echo. We're engaged now. You can't let me die. Dex, all the love we ever had, all the
00:18:39memories, all the I love you's you told me, do they mean anything? You must choose one to live.
00:18:46Will it be your future wife? Or your mistress? Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter
00:18:54Hayes? They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die. I can save Casey, but I have to
00:19:01break
00:19:02her heart. Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you? And you loved him? You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead. Make your choice. Choose now or they both
00:19:26die. Dexter. Dexter, please. Think of everything I've done for you. You dumped her. You chose
00:19:33me. Don't let them murder me. That's enough. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing Casey. Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter, I'm gonna faint. I was so scared. He chose Scarlet? Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute. You told me that... You made your choice, Dexter Hayes. Now you get to be the
00:20:07one
00:20:07who saved your soulmate, and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun.
00:20:45Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
00:20:47Let's go. Let's go. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's gonna be okay. Okay? You left me
00:20:59to die. And for the record, I never needed your money. I was right to walk away. Staying with you
00:21:06was the biggest mistake I made.
00:21:07I've ever made. Look, Casey, you don't understand. All right? They were gonna make me. I'm done living in your
00:21:16shadow, Dex.
00:21:17Goodbye.
00:21:23Casey. Casey. Casey.
00:21:24Hey.
00:21:33Casey. Casey, stop. Please. Stop. Please. Please. Please. We're gonna come. Okay. What are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:45You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:48He has Echo.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:52Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:01Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:18No.
00:22:18In case you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:45Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:51So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:07Take me home.
00:23:09Stop teaching.
00:23:10I'm trying to teach her.
00:23:10We've killed our million.
00:23:11There you go.
00:23:12We have to see you.
00:23:12The kind of military.
00:23:14You're here.
00:23:15I'm trying to have everything you have.
00:23:18I'm trying to.
00:23:20You are.
00:23:20I'm trying to.
00:23:21I'm trying to.
00:23:21I'm trying to.
00:23:28I'm trying to.
00:23:29I'm trying to.
00:23:34I'm trying to.
00:23:39Scarlet.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:09But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18Forget him, princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:33announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:01My back is passed.
00:25:07No, no.
00:25:09Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys, we have one week, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really?
00:25:38Echo?
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:50It's just your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last Saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:13So why can't I do the same?
00:27:32Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:37The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:51Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56Oh, this is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:02Okay, look.
00:28:04I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:16You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:19He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:30So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse tangled hair?
00:28:42Or her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:45Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:12We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious Harris?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:35I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look!
00:29:42Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:26Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:31Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:34I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:56Ignore her, but instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:15hit.
00:31:32Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:38but this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:02And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just like all of those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:49Hmm. They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm. Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me who's putting on an act or...?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:08Be careful.
00:33:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:12Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:21-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me? I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking
00:33:32hard, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed. Hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:52Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:56Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:01daughter, the heiress to the Reed Records fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are
00:34:11working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:19I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, well, that would make me forever
00:34:34grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself? The new CEO is already here.
00:34:52Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey.
00:34:59I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you
00:35:05just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again, but after what
00:35:13he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:22Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only.
00:35:30Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:36You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:43night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her. Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right
00:35:49here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no
00:35:57power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:06later?
00:36:06Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:34But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:45on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it. He's gonna announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:11The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:15My princess.
00:37:17In the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:22Hey!
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:01She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:04Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Ugh.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad, this is too much.
00:38:21There was something from your old man.
00:38:23And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:30Ugh.
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy. He was her father.
00:38:41This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:55How could I be so blind?
00:38:57What suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I just...
00:39:14I still miss you.
00:39:15I thought you'd stay the same all of those years.
00:39:20I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:23What?
00:39:31What?
00:39:31Ah...
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt,
00:39:41but I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay? If you just let me explain...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back after finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's not why I'm here. If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey. I mean, you gotta understand, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:13I didn't want any of that to happen. You have to believe me, please. I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why are you here? Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge? Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, tank your career. I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:38You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:47This... This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:57Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:01The fortune.
00:41:02The fans.
00:41:03No, no, no, no.
00:41:05Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:11Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:18Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:37You know, I am so glad.
00:41:40I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that
00:41:45you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00She can produce the wrongs.
00:42:03She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:07Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:13Stop.
00:42:14You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:38I've known you for years
00:42:44I've thought you'd say the same
00:42:48All of those years
00:42:53I've known you for years
00:43:01Ain't a twine
00:43:04Lost in my eyes
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:10I'm still
00:43:13I'm still
00:43:15I'm still
00:43:16I'm still missing you
00:43:24I'm still missing you
00:43:42I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:52Casey's wrong about me
00:43:53I never gave up on us
00:43:55She's got another truth
00:43:57I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:07Fine
00:44:09Let's not talk
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:29Not anymore
00:44:31I'm your former boss now
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:39I don't give a fuck
00:44:41About the contract
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:45And I know that you want me too
00:44:47And I act like you've forgotten
00:44:51What we had
00:44:53I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:11About the fans
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:13I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:15If you tell me
00:45:17That you want to be with me
00:45:20We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other all day
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:30You
00:45:32Still
00:45:34Love me
00:45:57You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:46:00The way I let you play me
00:46:02After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:14Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:16Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million streams
00:46:25I mean, we have a Dexter Haye-sized hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey
00:46:30You don't need him
00:46:32He'll hurt you
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need
00:46:38Casey
00:46:39Casey, Casey
00:46:40Casey
00:46:41Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did
00:46:45I have to prove she can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:08I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means
00:47:15But
00:47:16You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:24I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:28I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know
00:47:33Of course
00:47:36But
00:47:37You're not in a hurry
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:13Love even more than that
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:19Asshole pervs
00:48:20My hair
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:26Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:47No matter how talented you are
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me
00:48:52Not when I can read records
00:48:53Or myself
00:48:57I'll be shy, Casey
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:01To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03All over the tabloids
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:10Your poor father
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:18Stay away from me
00:49:34I'm fine
00:49:37What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:39I could sue you for that
00:49:41I'd love to see you try, sweetheart
00:49:43You're just a wash-up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry
00:49:53Jesus
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together
00:49:56You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck
00:50:01God
00:50:03The name
00:50:05Is Casey Reed
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07Of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly
00:50:10Fucking in
00:50:12Your career is dead
00:50:13Sasha
00:50:14I'm not sure of that
00:50:17Let's go
00:50:25Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:40My business is none of your concern
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:44What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:49Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore
00:50:54So, it's not your concern
00:50:56Where I am
00:50:57Or what I'm doing
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:59So, stop
00:51:02Following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:10Stop following you
00:51:11The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:14Fucking decisions
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:22Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiancƩ be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not want to marry Scarlet
00:51:42You don't fucking listen to me
00:51:44Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:45I don't know what you're saying
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:48I don't know what you're saying
00:51:57I don't know what you're saying
00:52:11I don't know what you're saying
00:52:14You're like
00:52:15piece. And you know it.
00:52:28Bloss, I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:36Please, stop following me.
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:54Great timing.
00:52:56As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here? I've done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label, studio or brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good. Buy all the rice to his music.
00:53:12I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:19I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:21Now that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:24Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan.
00:53:26But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it? Canceled.
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver? For me?
00:53:58Maybe. He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:09The world-famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:16night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:29Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her,
00:54:37if she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer.
00:54:40I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it.
00:54:44I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world? Or Dexter?
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:18But if you're gonna go as Echo, oh, you're gonna do it right.
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:34You're the best, Dad.
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes! It's so good to see you again.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged.
00:55:56Yes.
00:55:58My future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:06So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:09She's a musical genius.
00:56:11We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:22Okay.
00:56:25Please don't touch that.
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:31Ugh.
00:56:31It's you.
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave now.
00:56:48I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:00Hmm.
00:57:01Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:04I am Dexter Hayes' fiancƩ and creative collaborator.
00:57:08And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:12You're right.
00:57:13In that case.
00:57:15You should have this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:28Oh, my God!
00:57:34Oops.
00:57:36Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:38My bad.
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million dollar guitar!
00:57:45Security!
00:57:46Take this woman away!
00:57:48Hold on just one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:57:54Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:56Can you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes.
00:57:58Of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:57:59Okay.
00:58:02Just kidding.
00:58:04It's all yours now.
00:58:14Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:18We'll find a better option.
00:58:20Mmm.
00:58:22Mmm.
00:58:26Like this one.
00:58:27BeyoncƩ used this on her last album.
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:58:37Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:46I'm gonna just...
00:58:49My apologies, my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:53We saw it first.
00:58:55Look, look.
00:58:55We just want the one guitar.
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:01but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:09How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:21Hi, Dexy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter!
00:59:27She just insulted your BeyoncƩ.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:32Mom?
00:59:33Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:40is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:44The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:48You know what, actually, I'm sorry you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
01:00:00I knew you would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs,
01:00:08and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:12Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store,
01:00:15how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:29You did this for me?
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:37But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay. Scarlett could have it for free.
01:00:58As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:04Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:13You will regret this.
01:01:16Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:23Thanks, Mom.
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:32It's Ms. Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:35Two.
01:01:37My birthday was months ago.
01:01:39Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:53Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you talking about? What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No.
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:08But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:18No.
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24Yeah?
01:02:25I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:29Yes, sir?
01:02:32Oh, one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:36Yes, sir.
01:02:40But, Dexter, you can't do this! I love you!
01:02:56Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on M5. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:07It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage!
01:03:17All right, guys. It's time. Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlett!
01:03:34You can't start the show without me.
01:03:40I knew you'd make it.
01:03:41Of course she did. Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:46Dexter? Scarlett?
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:50I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:56none.
01:03:57Mmm. I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh. Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wreck-a-leg, Scarlett. Or should I say...Echo.
01:04:11Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35The playback's down. The track's gone completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version.
01:04:48I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:04:51Go fix this.
01:04:52Now.
01:04:55This is bad. All right. Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58We're gonna open the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:02I have an idea. You're...Echo. Right?
01:05:18Yes. It's true. I'm Echo. The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:29Go ahead. Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:34Come on. You're a genius producer, right? I mean...
01:05:37This is your chance to show off your talents. I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:47I must have another file I can play. I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:54Watch me work my magic.
01:06:13And that's how it's done.
01:06:15Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try. Scarlet's proven herself enough. You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:24Okay. Can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle? And can you pan from stage left to
01:06:29stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:39Damn. I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way. That means recording the instruments live looping
01:06:45them.
01:06:45Don't listen to her. She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:54If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:06:58Scarlet. Scarlet. Why would Casey do that? For real? Okay. You're...
01:07:01You're Echo. Okay? So, just fix the track.
01:07:07Yeah. Come on, Echo. What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet. You are our only hope now. You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:31Oh, I actually would, gladly, but it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:37Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:48You're Echo, okay? Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track. It's that simple. You know how to
01:07:53do this.
01:07:55You really think your fiancƩ is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here. I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on, Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:04Get off the stage! You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11All right, look.
01:09:14It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:43Read Records.
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes. Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:52Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving the song. Now it's over. It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:16No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other-
01:10:20Hey!
01:10:21It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, Mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:50And if you don't?
01:10:52Will you step down as Read Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily.
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:17Right now.
01:11:24I am not the kind for sure.
01:11:31This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:35Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:47Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:12:12Let's fucking go!
01:12:12Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:18So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I-I-I can't.
01:12:21I don't have much.
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when has Casey Reed a musical junior?
01:12:34It's familiar.
01:12:35That sounds...
01:12:35It's...
01:12:36Familiar.
01:12:37I am not the kind for sure.
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:46That sounds...
01:12:59Casey...
01:13:01You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song!
01:13:07She just ripped it off!
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:17I didn't even make that version.
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me!
01:13:36I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter, so that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're gonna have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56Two hundred million.
01:13:57Two hundred million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01It's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:05And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlet could finish the album and Dexter's career could crash and
01:14:28burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:38I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:48And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:52That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything!
01:14:56Come on.
01:14:57Let's hear it.
01:14:58Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlet.
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo.
01:15:02I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:11I was wrong about you.
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:16I'm sorry.
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:23Do it.
01:15:23Apologize to her.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on.
01:15:29Let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlet.
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo.
01:15:35I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:39They are happy!
01:15:42They are happy?!
01:15:43They are happy?!
01:15:45Wait!
01:15:46That's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter!
01:15:50She manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiance!
01:15:53You believe-
01:15:53Scarlet!
01:15:53You are exactly what we all see!
01:15:56You fucking thought and you're a damn liar!
01:15:59Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:16:05She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off.
01:16:12And so is the record.
01:16:36Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album?
01:16:39Terminating your contract.
01:16:40And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:43Sure it's over.
01:16:49You got yourself a deal case.
01:16:59Hit it.
01:17:04If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:16My back is fast against the wall.
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:26Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:33It's burning through my chains
01:17:37Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:52But none of them can burn
01:17:57Who am I to look like?
01:18:49Who am I to look like?
01:18:54Genius music producer, Echo.
01:18:57I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:16Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:30But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:39No!
01:19:50Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey. You've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:17save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now. Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl. And those two songs you two produced together,
01:20:35they made millions believe in love. Your love.
01:20:40Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you. Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:54The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label
01:20:59again. You know, if our CEO approves. Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call. One centimeter to the right. He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully. He'll recover. But for now, all he need is rest. That's it, okay?
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter? How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you. Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21I got you, beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:41I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44I miss him, too. But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free. And, um, we can go our separate ways. We can
01:23:04end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:06No.
01:23:07No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want? To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you. Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:44They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay? I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over. And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I
01:23:55would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:19You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:29Which reminds me...
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight List.
01:24:39The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO. You deserve it.
01:24:46You're the reason I sing. You're the reason I live. I don't want to song write or do any of
01:24:51this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:58I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are, or what you have, or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career. I'd give it up in a second if it meant
01:25:12just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17You do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:50This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:26:18my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:32I love you.
01:27:37You'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:44It's the best so far.
01:27:49We just let on.
01:27:54Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am.
01:28:01Just let on.
01:28:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:12Yeah, yeah.
01:28:18Ticking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:28:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:27In the mirror of heaven, my heart is still breathing.
01:28:32Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where together.
01:28:40I know.
01:28:43I know.
