Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records. The billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:04I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:10feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. My little man.
00:01:25I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35Because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff. Okay.
00:02:19It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:33You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:51To be the real we go and talk about this last year who was so really bad.
00:03:01I don't play that role. But anyway if I leave you no better than that.
00:03:04Take a flight, see a thing. But I can't wait to let it change.
00:03:09I'm outta time away. Some believe, that you're not my thing.
00:03:13I need champagne that's the pain.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:35Wait for me, right here?
00:03:40Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:43but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:54Fans 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.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for you all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:15Go, Dexter!
00:04:16Go, Dexter!
00:04:18Go, Dexter!
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:30Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:48I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:00In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:03But, Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:11But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:14Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:41Oh my god.
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:45Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:52Echo?
00:05:53Echo?
00:05:56Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:58Play Dex's song! Play Dex's song!
00:06:01God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04Play Dex's song!
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:24Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:45Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:53All those secret phone calls. Dodged questions. Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:15Wait. Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36And next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:45I, uh, I, uh, I, uh, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:08:06I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:08:10I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:08:11I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:08:11I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,
00:08:11I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:14A secret feeling again
00:08:16I know I was running out of time
00:09:03I know I was running out of time
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:35I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:50Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:56Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:03Yes!
00:10:05Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet.
00:10:17But she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:24It was all a lie.
00:10:28All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:34heart.
00:10:43Hey, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:04Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Okay, Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:09I gave you everything.
00:11:13I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her.
00:11:18Okay? I owe her. All right? I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
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? So, so, so that's why.
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is.
00:11:53You know what? I'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?
00:12:04Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:08You 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?
00:12:21He could have had that with me.
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:33What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook, full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:48That's my notebook.
00:12:49How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:51I'm a musical genius.
00:12:54And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Give it back.
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:01See, what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't...
00:13:04I know who you are anymore.
00:13:06Dexie, baby, I know all about girls like her.
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:17She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:30Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:37Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:45So please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:48Okay, right now.
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:54Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:06The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:18Dex.
00:14:21Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything.
00:15:02I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:06He never did.
00:15:08What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:11She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:15I'll come get you.
00:15:18Oh.
00:15:20Casey.
00:15:21Casey, where are you?
00:15:32It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:34Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:39Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go.
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:43We won't hurt you. We're your friends, too.
00:15:47We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:50We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:58You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him. We were in love.
00:16:06Or I thought we were.
00:16:08We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:10The 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.
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:36You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:44Casey?
00:16:45So she never left a concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:50Dexter is coming.
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:54You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:07You fucked him, too?
00:17:10God, our precious Dexter.
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:18You don't deserve to live.
00:17:20No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:23So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:28That's not true.
00:17:30First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:33You're psychotic.
00:17:35Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:36If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:39and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:43You're crazier than they are.
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:51Casey.
00:17:52Dexter.
00:17:58Dexter.
00:18:00Dexter, Dexter.
00:18:03Dexter, Dexter, help me.
00:18:04They hit me and then they tied me up
00:18:06and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:09Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:11Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:16We're your biggest fans.
00:18:18We're doing this for you.
00:18:21Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:23all right, you'll put the gun down
00:18:25and you'll let these two go, please.
00:18:26No, that's not how this works.
00:18:29Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:33We're engaged now.
00:18:34You can't let me die.
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:38all the memories, all the I love yous
00:18:40you told me.
00:18:41Did they mean anything?
00:18:43You must choose one to live.
00:18:46Will it be your future wife
00:18:49or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart,
00:18:53Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet,
00:18:57then they both die.
00:18:58I can save Casey,
00:19:00but I have to break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:05Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:14And you loved him?
00:19:16You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:22go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:24Choose now or they both die.
00:19:26Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:28Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:30You dumped her.
00:19:32You chose me.
00:19:33Don't let them murder me.
00:19:35That's enough.
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:39two,
00:19:40one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, all right?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet.
00:19:51Dexter,
00:19:52I'm gonna fight.
00:19:54I was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute.
00:20:02You told me that...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:05Now you get to be the one
00:20:07who saved your soulmate,
00:20:09and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:32Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:45Let's go!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:47Okay, okay.
00:20:49All right.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die!
00:20:59And for the record,
00:21:00I never needed your money!
00:21:02I was right to walk away.
00:21:05Staying with you
00:21:05was the biggest mistake
00:21:06I've ever made!
00:21:08Look, Casey,
00:21:09you don't understand, all right?
00:21:10They were gonna make me...
00:21:11I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:16Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:21:23Casey, Casey.
00:21:31Casey.
00:21:32Casey, stop!
00:21:33Please, stop!
00:21:34Please, please.
00:21:35We're gonna go.
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:37without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself
00:21:40that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top
00:21:43of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:44You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:47He has Echo.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:51Fame really has changed you,
00:21:54Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:01And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one
00:22:04that's been sneaking around
00:22:05behind my back
00:22:05this whole time.
00:22:08I never
00:22:09betrayed you
00:22:10how you betrayed me
00:22:11by putting that ring
00:22:12on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:14You chose her
00:22:15and you left me for dead!
00:22:17No, Casey,
00:22:18you don't understand.
00:22:19I was trying to...
00:22:44Oh my God,
00:22:45that's Ed Reed,
00:22:46the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:50So sorry
00:22:51I didn't come sooner,
00:22:52baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:13I was trying to...
00:23:15I was trying to...
00:23:19I was trying to...
00:23:19I was trying to...
00:23:27I was trying to...
00:23:28I was trying to...
00:23:29I was trying to...
00:23:30I was trying to...
00:23:30Casey!
00:23:32I was trying to...
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlet.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:40You should have seen it.
00:23:41I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank
00:23:44cheated on Dexter
00:23:45with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew
00:23:48she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53And when that failed,
00:23:54she went after the CEO
00:23:55of the biggest music label
00:23:57in the world.
00:23:58Dexter,
00:23:59she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you
00:24:02this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about
00:24:04was money and power.
00:24:05I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time,
00:24:09she was in bed
00:24:10with the CEO
00:24:11of Reed Records.
00:24:12No!
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19Hmm?
00:24:20You are much too talented
00:24:21to be running
00:24:22some rock star's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:28Three days from now,
00:24:30at the annual
00:24:31Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:32announcing you
00:24:33as the new CEO
00:24:35of Reed Records
00:24:36and my daughter,
00:24:37the heiress to my empire.
00:24:39It's time to show
00:24:41the world
00:24:41who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:58My back is pressed.
00:25:06Not mine!
00:25:09Okay, guys,
00:25:10cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing
00:25:15is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys,
00:25:18we have one week,
00:25:19all right,
00:25:20to finish this song
00:25:21before the release.
00:25:22The echo that I know
00:25:23can put together
00:25:24a perfect studio mix
00:25:26in hours.
00:25:27You can't even fix
00:25:28a simple beat
00:25:29or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlett,
00:25:34I just gotta ask,
00:25:35are you really?
00:25:37Echo?
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy,
00:25:47of course I am.
00:25:49It's just,
00:25:51your new assistant,
00:25:52he's been messing,
00:25:53he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying
00:25:56to sabotage
00:25:57our new album.
00:25:57I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because
00:26:04you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name
00:26:07on garbage like this.
00:26:10Mr. Hayes,
00:26:11please, listen.
00:26:13It's desperate.
00:26:13And I'm sorry,
00:26:15but my last assistant
00:26:17would have never
00:26:17screwed me over like that.
00:26:19You're fine.
00:26:27See it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top
00:26:44of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:46Writing love songs
00:26:47used to be so easy
00:26:49with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number
00:27:05that has been disconnected
00:27:06or is no longer in service.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:10She broke my heart
00:27:11and she moved on.
00:27:12So why can't I do the same?
00:27:32Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation
00:27:35to the biggest industry event
00:27:36of the year,
00:27:37the Reed Records Music
00:27:39Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:48Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:50Dexter, you said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:54We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation
00:27:57from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay, look.
00:28:04I know what you're thinking,
00:28:05but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster
00:28:11of scoring assistants lining up
00:28:13to get on their knees
00:28:13and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go
00:28:16and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:23Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now,
00:28:30forget about that stupid
00:28:31little assistant of yours
00:28:33and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special
00:28:36about her anyway?
00:28:37Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:41Or her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:45Or maybe those hideous,
00:28:48god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back
00:28:56everything that's mine.
00:29:00Scarlet, I'll be here.
00:29:01She'll be small.
00:29:03Come on, that's here.
00:29:04Hold it.
00:29:05You there.
00:29:07How does it feel
00:29:08to be at the event of the year
00:29:09as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side,
00:29:13our album is sure
00:29:14to be the number one hit
00:29:15of the decade.
00:29:16Are you excited
00:29:18to meet this mysterious
00:29:19new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed
00:29:23is introducing the whole world
00:29:24to his daughter,
00:29:26the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:28Do you think she's going
00:29:28to be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I'll bet she'll be making
00:29:35a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is,
00:29:38we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:39She could be our ticket
00:29:40to a number one album.
00:29:41Look, here she is now!
00:29:53No fucking way!
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:25Hey, Dex.
00:30:27Long time no see.
00:30:31Dex has already moved on
00:30:33with Scarlet.
00:30:34I should be happy
00:30:35walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart
00:30:39still ache?
00:30:55Ignore her.
00:30:56And instead,
00:30:57focus on kissing up
00:30:58to Ed Reed
00:30:59so he introduces us
00:30:59to the new CEO.
00:31:01You should listen
00:31:02to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do
00:31:05is get on their good side
00:31:06and our album
00:31:06will go straight
00:31:07to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress
00:31:11Ed Reed and this
00:31:12new CEO
00:31:13if I want our album
00:31:14to be a hit.
00:31:31Scarlet,
00:31:32what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known
00:31:35you'd sneak in here
00:31:35hunting for your next
00:31:36sugar daddy,
00:31:37but this party
00:31:38is for the elite
00:31:39of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait
00:31:41on the street corner
00:31:42with the other hookers.
00:31:43But the party's
00:31:45just getting started
00:31:45and I can't miss
00:31:47the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:52So you can seduce
00:31:53the new CEO
00:31:54of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much
00:31:57more selective
00:31:58than Ed Reed
00:31:59so don't expect him
00:32:00to look at you twice.
00:32:01And don't distract
00:32:02Dexter tonight.
00:32:03Leave
00:32:04or I will have security
00:32:05escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love
00:32:07to see you try.
00:32:11Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him
00:32:14and those feelings
00:32:15don't just go away.
00:32:16How could she
00:32:17change his mind
00:32:18so easily?
00:32:20You can dress up
00:32:22all you want,
00:32:24but you will
00:32:25always
00:32:26just be
00:32:27Dexter's
00:32:27lowly
00:32:28little errant girl.
00:32:29I thought she was
00:32:30someone important.
00:32:32She's just a
00:32:32desperate assistant
00:32:34playing dress up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged
00:32:36by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never
00:32:39emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think
00:32:40she got the jewels though?
00:32:41Probably out
00:32:42whoring herself
00:32:43to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those
00:32:45desperate social
00:32:46climbers in our industry.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:50Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:53Tell me something,
00:32:55Scarlet.
00:32:55Is it
00:32:56really me
00:32:57who's putting on
00:32:58an act or
00:33:01is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:07Careful.
00:33:08The new CEO
00:33:10might be watching.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're
00:33:13hot shit just because
00:33:14you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent,
00:33:16but you have no money
00:33:17and no connections
00:33:19besides the ones
00:33:19you make in
00:33:20pay-by-the-hour
00:33:21hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me,
00:33:22I'm a beloved
00:33:23up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much
00:33:26as threaten me
00:33:27or my career
00:33:29ever again,
00:33:29I will get you
00:33:30canceled so fucking hard.
00:33:32your grandchildren
00:33:32won't be able
00:33:33to show their faces
00:33:34in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reed.
00:33:37Hi.
00:33:38Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much
00:33:40for the invite.
00:33:41You've always
00:33:42been a true hero
00:33:44of mine.
00:33:44Well, I would really
00:33:45love to put that
00:33:47well, that incident
00:33:48with my assistant
00:33:49behind us.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:52Of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait
00:33:56to see the look
00:33:57on his face
00:33:57when he realizes
00:33:59the assistant
00:34:00he rejected
00:34:00as my daughter
00:34:02and the heiress
00:34:03to the Reed
00:34:03record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir,
00:34:06you may or may not
00:34:07have heard about
00:34:08the record that
00:34:09Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are working on.
00:34:11I really think
00:34:12that between my lyrics
00:34:13and, well,
00:34:14her producing
00:34:15and your musical genius
00:34:17over the last
00:34:18many decades,
00:34:18I think we could
00:34:19really make
00:34:19something special.
00:34:21Well, you make
00:34:21a compelling point.
00:34:24And you know,
00:34:25if it's not too much,
00:34:26it actually might be
00:34:26helpful for the record.
00:34:27Well, maybe if you
00:34:28could put in a good
00:34:29word with the new
00:34:31CEO, well, that
00:34:33would make me
00:34:33forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put
00:34:36in a good word
00:34:37yourself?
00:34:37The new CEO
00:34:38is already here.
00:34:51Casey.
00:34:53Casey.
00:34:54Casey.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:56Casey.
00:34:56Casey.
00:34:56Casey.
00:34:59I've been trying
00:35:00to call you
00:35:01the last few days
00:35:02and, well,
00:35:03I guess I'm just
00:35:03surprised that instead
00:35:04you just showed up
00:35:05here.
00:35:06I hated myself
00:35:07for wanting to
00:35:08pick up the phone,
00:35:10for wanting to
00:35:10hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what
00:35:13he did to me,
00:35:13I couldn't give him
00:35:15the satisfaction.
00:35:16Oh, you've been
00:35:17calling me for
00:35:18the last few days.
00:35:19What, you missed
00:35:20me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring
00:35:22Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is
00:35:25invite only.
00:35:29Yeah.
00:35:30Dang, I guess I
00:35:31left my invite at
00:35:32home, but I think
00:35:34I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlet,
00:35:36on the other hand,
00:35:37though, has been
00:35:37throwing around
00:35:38nothing but vile
00:35:40slander and empty
00:35:41accusations all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to
00:35:44go, it should be her.
00:35:45Unless you want me
00:35:47to expose your lies
00:35:48to Dexter right here,
00:35:49right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones who
00:35:52can remove me are
00:35:53Mr. Reed himself
00:35:54or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power
00:35:56here.
00:35:57Okay, guys.
00:35:59I've...
00:35:59Ed Reed and this
00:36:00new CEO are about
00:36:02to announce our
00:36:02new album.
00:36:03Can we have this
00:36:05conversation later?
00:36:06Oh, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say
00:36:09please.
00:36:12Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:20it's time to announce
00:36:22tonight's special guest.
00:36:27Reed Records is the
00:36:29number one largest
00:36:30music label in the world.
00:36:33But tonight, I'm gonna
00:36:35introduce you to someone
00:36:37who's more precious to
00:36:38me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up
00:36:40listening to me play
00:36:41piano, who has written
00:36:42hundreds of songs and
00:36:44never put her name on
00:36:45one of them because she
00:36:47never wanted to gain
00:36:48fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets,
00:36:52Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally
00:36:54learned who you really
00:36:56rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking
00:36:58right at us.
00:37:00He's gonna call us on
00:37:01stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:03He's gonna announce that
00:37:04he's signed us to Reed
00:37:05Records.
00:37:05I want to introduce
00:37:07the heir to my
00:37:09billion-dollar music
00:37:10empire and the new
00:37:12CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess and the
00:37:17light of my life, my
00:37:19daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:25What?
00:37:27No.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:00She's the daughter of
00:38:01billionaire music royalty.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional,
00:38:05insulting the new CEO of
00:38:07Reed Records to her
00:38:08base.
00:38:09She just committed
00:38:10career suicide.
00:38:11Mr. Reed, your gift
00:38:12for the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Oh, that's millions of
00:38:17dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad, this is too much.
00:38:21Well, something from your
00:38:22old man.
00:38:22And now Dexter will see
00:38:23that you're worth more
00:38:24than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:31I knew Casey was keeping
00:38:33secrets from me, but I
00:38:34didn't know she was
00:38:35hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her
00:38:38sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:40This whole time, she was
00:38:41with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the
00:38:45truth, and instead of
00:38:46trusting her, I left her
00:38:48for another woman.
00:38:48How could I be so blind?
00:38:58Suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and,
00:39:02uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say
00:39:05you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, look, I just...
00:39:20I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking
00:39:33your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing she just insulted
00:39:37the CEO of the most
00:39:38powerful music company
00:39:39has got to hurt, but I
00:39:41mean, you of all people
00:39:42should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to
00:39:44believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain,
00:39:46I promise...
00:39:46Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:47Why you want me back
00:39:49after finding out I'm
00:39:50your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's,
00:39:59that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell
00:40:00you, I, I...
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta
00:40:04understand, I...
00:40:05You're the one who
00:40:06lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:08And what would you call
00:40:09getting engaged to Scarlet
00:40:10after promising to put a
00:40:11ring on my finger?
00:40:12I didn't want any of that
00:40:14to happen.
00:40:15You have to believe me,
00:40:16please.
00:40:16I was just trying
00:40:18to...
00:40:18Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one
00:40:21thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why are you
00:40:23here?
00:40:23Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some
00:40:24royal way to get
00:40:25revenge?
00:40:26Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, tank your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:37You might have found out
00:40:38who my father is today,
00:40:40but you still have no
00:40:40idea who I am.
00:40:42Wait.
00:40:46This...
00:40:47This is why you
00:40:48proposed to Scarlet,
00:40:49isn't it?
00:40:50Why you left me
00:40:53for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad,
00:40:57threw me to the curb
00:40:59for the fame,
00:41:01the fortune,
00:41:02the fans.
00:41:03No, no, please.
00:41:03No, no, no.
00:41:04Actually, I think
00:41:05it's time to make my
00:41:07first decision as the
00:41:08new CEO.
00:41:10Can I get everyone's
00:41:11attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is
00:41:16having fun.
00:41:17Reed Records will be
00:41:19ending its contract
00:41:20with Dexter Hayes
00:41:22and dropping him
00:41:23as an artist.
00:41:28Effective immediately.
00:41:30Oh, my God.
00:41:31Oh, my God.
00:41:32Oh, my God.
00:41:32Oh, my God.
00:41:36You know,
00:41:37I am so glad
00:41:39I never told you
00:41:41who I really was
00:41:42because if I didn't,
00:41:43I might not have
00:41:43ever found out
00:41:44that you don't really
00:41:45love me for me.
00:41:46Casey,
00:41:46none of that is true,
00:41:48okay?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:48I don't care about that.
00:41:49I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing
00:41:51with her anymore,
00:41:53Dexter.
00:41:53She may be rich,
00:41:55but she's just
00:41:55an arrogant nepo baby
00:41:57with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00She can produce
00:42:01these songs.
00:42:02She can get you
00:42:03to the top of the charts
00:42:04with or without
00:42:05Reed Records.
00:42:06Dexter,
00:42:07you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand
00:42:09you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, Mom, Mom,
00:42:12stop.
00:42:13You're my mom,
00:42:14not my manager,
00:42:15all right?
00:42:17I'm done talking
00:42:17about this.
00:42:38I've known you for years
00:42:44I've known you for years
00:42:45I've thought you'd see
00:42:46I've seen all of those years
00:42:52I've known you for years
00:42:56I've known you for years
00:43:04I've known you for years
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:10And I'm still
00:43:12And I'm still
00:43:14I'm still missing you
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:27It all twined
00:43:30Heart and mind
00:43:32I'm still missing you
00:43:42I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:45You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:47I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me
00:43:52I never gave up on us
00:43:54She's got another truth
00:43:56I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:06Fine
00:44:08Let's not talk
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:29Not anymore
00:44:30I'm your former boss now
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:39I don't give a fuck
00:44:40About the contract
00:44:41I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:44And I know that you want me too
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:50What we had
00:44:52I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:44:58You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:09I don't care
00:45:10About 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
00:45:16That you want to be with me
00:45:19We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other over
00:45:28Until you finally admit
00:45:30That you
00:45:32Still
00:45:34Love me
00:45:57You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:45:59The way I let you play me
00:46:01After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:06I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:10Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:13Thank you
00:46:14Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:15Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:18The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:24I mean
00:46:25We have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:28It's not safe
00:46:29Casey
00:46:30You don't need him
00:46:31He'll hurt you
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:34Of all people
00:46:35Get to tell me what I need
00:46:37Casey
00:46:38Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:42Daisy has every right
00:46:43To be angry with me
00:46:44After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46She can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me
00:47:02On such short notice
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05Women who speak too much
00:47:07I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:12I don't know what that means
00:47:14But
00:47:16You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:23Hired to be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:29So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know
00:47:33Of course
00:47:35But
00:47:36You're not in a hurry
00:47:37Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership
00:47:57Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist
00:47:59I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:12Love even more than that
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18Asshole pervs
00:48:19My hair
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:27Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance 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
00:48:46No matter how talented you are
00:48:49I want me to label to sign me
00:48:51Not when I can read records
00:48:53For myself
00:48:56Don't be shy, Casey
00:48:57I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:00To 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
00:49:11He's going to have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:17Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey!
00:49:23Break your fucking hands off
00:49:24What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:27Extra Hayes
00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine
00:49:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that
00:49:40I'd love to see you try, sweetheart
00:49:42You're just a wash-up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry
00:49:52Jesus
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together
00:49:56If you kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut
00:49:59I mean, what the fuck
00:50:03Her name is Casey Wee
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:11Your career is dead
00:50:12Sasha
00:50:13I'm not sure of that
00:50:16Let's go
00:50:24Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:39Your business is none of your concern
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:43What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:45Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:51I'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
00:51:01Following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:09I'll stop following you
00:51:10The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:13Fucking decisions
00:51:15And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:23Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:33I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:38Want to marry
00:51:39Scarlet
00:51:41You don't fucking listen
00:51:42Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So...
00:51:57What am I supposed to do?
00:52:00Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again
00:52:09I should push him away but I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:17And you know it
00:52:28Boss! I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter
00:52:36Please, stop following me
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:53Great timing!
00:52:55As always
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58I've done what you asked
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:02No label, studio or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:05His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:07Good
00:53:09Buy all the rights 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
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:25But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:28I could have handled Sasha
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:56For me?
00:53:57Maybe
00:53:58He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:00Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:08The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:15night
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:18She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies
00:54:22She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:24Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:28Much less produce a hit track
00:54:30Scarlet 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
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:43I think it's time
00:54:45The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:51You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough
00:54:59It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:02The world? Or Dexter?
00:55:08This isn't about him
00:55:11He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:13Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:17But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:19Oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:21With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:26I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:33You're the best, Dad
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged?
00:55:56Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:09She's a musical genius
00:56:10We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:13Of course! I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:24Please don't touch that
00:56:26Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Ugh, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:36Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:40I have to ask you to leave
00:56:42Now
00:56:47I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:56:56We all know money can't buy talent
00:56:59Hmm, tell that to Scarlett
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee
00:57:06And creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:09Yeah, you're right
00:57:12In that case
00:57:15You should have this
00:57:22No!
00:57:27Oh my God!
00:57:34Oops!
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:38Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:45Security!
00:57:45Take this woman away!
00:57:47Hold on just one second
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my God!
00:57:53Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:56You think you can set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:57:58Okay
00:58:01Just kidding
00:58:04It's all yours now
00:58:13Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:18We'll find a better option
00:58:21Mmm, mmm
00:58:25Like this one
00:58:26Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:29This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:32The genius producer
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:37Actually, actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:40In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:45I'm gonna just...
00:58:48My apologies, my apologies
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:52We saw it first
00:58:54Look, look, we just want the one guitar
00:58:56I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:58You can pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:00But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:02From choking
00:59:04On the stage
00:59:08How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:16That's enough
00:59:20Hi, Dexy
00:59:23Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter?
00:59:27She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:30You need to do something
00:59:31Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:48You know what, actually
00:59:50I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:04You 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
01:00:11Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:25Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:27For my former assistant
01:00:29You did this for me?
01:00:31You really think I need a music store?
01:00:34Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all
01:00:37But, I'm someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter! Are you insane?
01:00:45She's not even a real musician
01:00:47And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay, Scarlett could have it for free
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:03Casey, I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later
01:01:13You will regret this
01:01:15Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, Mom
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:35Two
01:01:36My birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:41So, your gift means nothing
01:01:45Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53What are you talking about? What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:00No
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
01:02:22Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24Yeah?
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:26To her collection
01:02:28Yes, sir?
01:02:31Oh, one more thing
01:02:33She's fired
01:02:36Yes, sir
01:02:37Thank you
01:02:40Dexter, you can't do this! I love you!
01:02:55Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live
01:02:59Thank you
01:03:02Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:16Alright guys, it's time, let's go
01:03:19Scarlett!
01:03:33You can't start the show without me
01:03:39I knew you'd make it
01:03:40Of course she did
01:03:41Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlett
01:03:46You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:49I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:56none
01:03:56Mmm, 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
01:04:07Or should I say, Echo
01:04:10Don't choke
01:04:13Hope you don't choke
01:04:35The playback's down
01:04:37The track's gone completely white
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:52Now!
01:04:54This is bad, alright?
01:04:56Everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:58We're gonna ruin the broadcast
01:04:59And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea
01:05:06You're...Echo
01:05:08Right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true
01:05:21I'm Echo
01:05:21The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:27Then prove it
01:05:29Go ahead!
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:33Come on, you're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:41I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:46I must have another file I can play
01:05:48I'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!
01:06:16Nice try!
01:06:18Scarlett's proven herself enough
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:23Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:26And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:31Yeah
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping them
01:06:45Don't listen to her!
01:06:46She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:49And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:53If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage it
01:06:57Scarlett, Scarlett, why would Casey do that? For real, okay?
01:07:01You're Echo, okay? So, just fix the track
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:07Come on Echo, what, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:18Scarlett, you are our only hope now
01:07:21You have to fix this
01:07:23I could, if I had something other than this shoddy-breed-records music equipment to work with
01:07:28Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly, but it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:36Why 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! Echo!
01:07:47Just, your Echo, okay?
01:07:49Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:52It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:54You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:02Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:04I can't let her expose me
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:10Beep!
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:57Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going!
01:09:04Get off the stage!
01:09:06You're ruining it!
01:09:07You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11Alright, look...
01:09:13It'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?
01:09:20Yeah, I am
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:25Yeah
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:34That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:37And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:42Read Records
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes! Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving the song
01:09:55Now 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...
01:10:20It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:32Mom, stop!
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:42If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:46For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:51Will you step down as Read Records' CEO if you fail?
01:10:55Happily
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
01:11:08Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:11Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:15Right now
01:11:16Right now
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show
01:11:30This is not a one-time thing
01:11:33Lights are low, but I still will
01:11:39This morning's got a sting
01:11:43Good
01:11:46Now let's make a hit
01:11:55Let's fucking go!
01:12:12Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean, you produced this right, so do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I-I-I can't, I don't have butt
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:25I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:33That sound, it's familiar
01:12:36I am not the kind for a show
01:12:41This is not a one-time thing
01:12:44Stop! Stop it!
01:12:57Casey?
01:13:00You're Echo
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song, she just ripped it off!
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:10Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:17I didn't even make that version
01:13:18I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:21Go fix this
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:32She's the one that saved the song
01:13:34No, that was me
01:13:36I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit
01:13:38I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:41So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:44You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:13:48Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:51I think you might just be surprised
01:13:56200 million
01:13:58200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal, are you insane?
01:14:04And, I want my name to be credited
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:11And one last thing
01:14:12I want a public apology from Scarlet Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to
01:14:22I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:25And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:27So, 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
01:14:47And you?
01:14:48Do it
01:14:50Apologize to her
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:52Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it
01:14:57Tell the world the truth
01:14:58Scarlet
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!
01:15:10I was wrong about you
01:15:12I was wrong about you
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song
01:15:15I'm sorry
01:15:19And you?
01:15:21Do it
01:15:22Apologize to her
01:15:23That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything
01:15:28Come on, let's hear it
01:15:29Tell the world the truth
01:15:31Scarlet
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo
01:15:34I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:38They are happy?
01:15:41They are happy?
01:15:44Wait
01:15:45That's not what I really meant
01:15:48Dexter
01:15:49She manipulated me
01:15:51You're still my fiance
01:15:51You believe
01:15:52Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you
01:15:55Fuckin' plot and you're a damn liar
01:15:59Casey is the one who built my career
01:16:01Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:16:04She's the only one who ever cared about me
01:16:07Or loved me
01:16:10Our engagement is off
01:16:12And so is the record
01:16:28No!
01:16:32Oh my god
01:16:35Please don't cancel the album
01:16:37The album?
01:16:38Terminating your contract
01:16:40And blackness in you from the industry
01:16:42Career is over
01:16:48You got yourself a deal case
01:16:58Hit it
01:17:27Your name's on fire
01:17:29In my veins
01:17:32It's burning from 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 places
01:17:51But none of them can burn
01:18:31Yes
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:56I 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!
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:29But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hercie!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:49Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:01You still love him, don't you?
01:20:04Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:10You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:16save you?
01:20:16It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:47Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:51Hmm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:07Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:34It was a close call.
01:21:36One centimeter to the right, he could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully.
01:21:46He'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:52Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:12Never.
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...
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:43But 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.
01:22:58And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:01And, um...
01:23:02We can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:05Listen.
01:23:06No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:36That horrible night when I chose Scarlet...
01:23:40I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:47I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would 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.
01:24:13Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:22My pop star.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me.
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight List.
01:24:38The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:59I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17You do it together.
01:25:22I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:34I love you, Dexter.
01:25:37I love you, Dexter.
01:25:49I love you, Dexter.
01:25:59Dexter Hayes.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:01Yes, ma'am.
01:26:02Yes, ma'am.
01:26:04Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly
01:26:17the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22I know, I love you.
01:26:22I love you.
01:26:43I love you.
01:26:47I love you.
01:26:49I love you.
01:26:51My life, imagine what we're together
01:27:07This goes on
01:27:10The stuff in the stockings
01:27:13But I am still walking
01:27:15But all we do
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated
01:27:22Now I'm recreated
01:27:25Every time I look at the moon
01:27:29I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:38That it's time for you and me
01:27:43Cause the best so far
01:27:48Was just a little
01:27:53Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:00Just a little
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah
01:28:17I'm taking and talking
01:28:19But I will be walking
01:28:25In the mirror in heaven
01:28:28My heart is open
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36I imagine the world
01:28:38We're together
01:28:43I know
01:28:43I know
01:28:43I know
01:28:51I don't know.
