00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Hey, Keith, um...
00:02:12What's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just...
00:02:15What are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing.
00:02:17It's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:31His echo and his Casey.
00:02:36You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:25And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:38Wait for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts.
00:03:46But I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:52A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us.
00:03:58Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart.
00:04:04Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:06She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:14I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:17Hope you enjoy.
00:04:27Shit! The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:30I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:33Echo can fix this.
00:04:37Are you here?
00:04:38I need your help.
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:56There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:03In public, I am not your daughter.
00:05:05And I'm not Echo.
00:05:07But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:09You made him the star he is.
00:05:13I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:14But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:18Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:21When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:45Oh my god.
00:05:46These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:48Is Casey...Echo?
00:06:00Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:02Play that song!
00:06:03Play that song!
00:06:05God, where's Casey?
00:06:06She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:08The show is a disaster.
00:06:09The fans are waiting.
00:06:10Can you please find her?
00:06:11I need her.
00:06:12No, Dexter.
00:06:14I'm the one you need.
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel.
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:30Are you her?
00:06:35Listen.
00:06:36Can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did.
00:06:42Wait.
00:06:44Dexter, there's...
00:06:46One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:49Well...
00:06:50Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls.
00:06:59Dodged questions.
00:07:00Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter.
00:07:05I'm so sorry.
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:19Wait.
00:07:19Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:22Uh...
00:07:23And we're back.
00:07:24Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29At least I thought so.
00:07:39Get ready, Dex.
00:07:40The mix to your next big single is coming to you in 3...
00:07:452...
00:07:461...
00:07:462...
00:07:483...
00:07:512...
00:07:522...
00:07:523...
00:07:522...
00:07:553...
00:07:573...
00:07:584...
00:07:594...
00:08:074...
00:08:085.
00:08:09I remember the time I saw you right
00:08:13One thing to remember you by
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19The secret feeling I gave out
00:08:21Knowing I was running out of time
00:08:58The secret feeling I gave out
00:09:14How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:35He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:38To announce our relationship
00:09:40I loved her
00:09:42And she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my god!
00:09:56Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my god!
00:10:07Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:14I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:22But she made my career
00:10:25And Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33All right
00:10:33I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:59You promised me
00:11:02That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead
00:11:06You'd propose
00:11:07And put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you-you-you gave me no choice
00:11:15I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Oh
00:11:24Okay?
00:11:24I-I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:26All right?
00:11:26I don't-
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:11:32What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:39Okay?
00:11:40So-so-so that's why
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is
00:11:58You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:20To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:24To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:37Just
00:12:38Your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:44Hm?
00:12:46This
00:12:47Is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:53That's my notebook
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius
00:13:00And you're just
00:13:01Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:03Get back
00:13:04Ow!
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me
00:13:07See what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't
00:13:09I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:12Dexy, baby
00:13:14I know
00:13:14All about girls like her
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you
00:13:22She has been for years
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:31Okay?
00:13:32Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car
00:13:37Please
00:13:43Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:50So, please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:53Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:00Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:21We're over
00:14:23Dex
00:14:27Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dex everything
00:15:08I made his career, but
00:15:11He doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:13What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart
00:15:17She stole him
00:15:19And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:27Casey
00:15:27Casey, where are you?
00:15:39Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:50We won't hurt you
00:15:52We're your friends, too
00:15:53We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him
00:16:11We were in love
00:16:12Or I thought we were
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:21Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room
00:16:33Come alone
00:16:34Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:37And we'll spare them
00:16:38Choose your little assistant
00:16:40And they both die
00:16:43You've reached Casey
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert
00:16:53Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:57Dexter is coming
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancƩe?
00:17:09Obviously not
00:17:10She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:14You fucked him, too?
00:17:16God, our precious Dexter
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:25You don't deserve to live
00:17:27No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:30So, if Casey dies
00:17:33Then the truth dies with her
00:17:35That's not true
00:17:36First you steal my identity
00:17:39Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:40You're psychotic
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey
00:17:43If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:46And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:51You're crazier than they are
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey
00:18:06Dexter
00:18:06Dexter
00:18:08Dexter
00:18:09Dexter
00:18:09Dexter
00:18:10Dexter
00:18:10Dexter, help me
00:18:12They hit me
00:18:13And then they tied me up
00:18:14And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:22We can't do that, Dexter
00:18:23We're your biggest fans
00:18:26We're doing this for you
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me
00:18:30All right
00:18:31You'll put the gun down
00:18:32And then let these two go
00:18:33Please
00:18:34No, that's not how this works
00:18:36Dexie
00:18:37You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:40We're engaged now
00:18:42You can't let me die
00:18:43Dex
00:18:44All the love we ever had
00:18:46All the memories
00:18:47All the I love you's you told me
00:18:49Did they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live
00:18:53Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I told you Scarlet, then they both die
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade
00:19:27If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:30Go ahead, make your choice
00:19:32Choose now or they both die
00:19:34Dexter
00:19:35Dexter, please
00:19:36Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:38You dumped her
00:19:40You chose me
00:19:41Don't let them murder me
00:19:42That team up
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three
00:19:47Two
00:19:48One
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:52Scarlet, alright?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet
00:19:59Dexter
00:20:00I'm gonna faint
00:20:02I was so scared
00:20:03He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:09Now wait a minute, you told me that
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:13Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no
00:20:26I guess this is the end
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:36Put the gun down
00:20:39Put the gun down
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:42Hey, drop the gun
00:20:54Let's go, let's go
00:20:55Okay
00:21:03It's gonna be okay
00:21:04Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die
00:21:07And for the record
00:21:09I never needed your money
00:21:11I was right to walk away
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:17Look, Casey
00:21:18You don't understand, alright?
00:21:19They were gonna make me
00:21:20I'm done
00:21:22Living in your shadow, Dex
00:21:24Goodbye
00:21:30Casey, Casey
00:21:32Hey
00:21:40Casey
00:21:41Casey, stop
00:21:43Please, stop
00:21:43Please, please
00:21:44We're gonna go
00:21:45Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:50Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:53You're delusional
00:21:55He doesn't need you
00:21:56He has Echo
00:21:57Yeah
00:21:59Sure he does
00:22:00Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:16I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:22You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to
00:22:53Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:59I'm so sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:23:04You're here now
00:23:06Take me home
00:23:22I was trying to
00:23:24I was trying to
00:23:28I was trying to
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:40Casey!
00:23:41Casey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes
00:23:50You should have seen it
00:23:51I almost died
00:23:52And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first
00:24:02Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power
00:24:15I thought Casey loved me
00:24:17But the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records
00:24:27Forget him princess, hmm?
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:24:42Announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are
00:25:01My back is pressed
00:25:09My back is pressed
00:25:11My back is pressed
00:25:16No, no!
00:25:18Okay, guys, cut the track
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, alright?
00:25:30To finish this song before the release
00:25:32The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask
00:25:45Are you really Echo?
00:25:51Are you really Echo?
00:25:55Dexy
00:25:57Of course I am
00:25:59It's just
00:26:01Your new assistant
00:26:02He's been messing
00:26:03He's messing with my tracks
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album
00:26:08I mean, look
00:26:11Last Saved by Max
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please
00:26:22Listen
00:26:23It's Dexter
00:26:24And I'm sorry
00:26:25But my last assistant would've never screamed me over like that
00:26:29You're fired
00:26:37Let's do it again
00:26:53Let's do it again
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here
00:27:13We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on
00:27:22So why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got
00:27:43An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested
00:27:58Okay, we have a song to finish
00:28:00Dexter
00:28:02You said it yourself
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours
00:28:04We have to go
00:28:06This is a personal invitation
00:28:07From Mr. Ed Reed himself
00:28:11Okay, look
00:28:14I know what you're thinking
00:28:15But Casey probably meant nothing to him
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive
00:28:19I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants
00:28:22Lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks
00:28:25You have to go
00:28:26And you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right
00:28:34Of course I am
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple
00:28:39So now
00:28:40Forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:43And start getting ready
00:28:44I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:48Her coarse, tangled hair
00:28:52Her dull, crusty skin
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes
00:29:01I'm Echo
00:29:02I'm the Reed heiress
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine
00:29:17How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:31I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:35The heiress to the Reed merchant
00:29:38Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know, Ed
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:44I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album
00:29:51Look! Here she is now!
00:30:03No fucking way!
00:30:06No fucking way!
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey Dex
00:30:36Long time no see
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:43I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:46So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side
00:31:16And our album will go straight to number one
00:31:19She's right
00:31:20I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit
00:31:41Scarlet!
00:31:42What a terrible surprise
00:31:43I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers
00:31:53But the party's just getting started
00:31:55I can't miss the big announcement
00:32:00Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed
00:32:08So don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:10And don't distract Dexter tonight
00:32:12Leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:16I'd love to see you try
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him and those feelings don't just go away
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:31You can dress up all you want
00:32:33But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl
00:32:39I thought she was someone important
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Hart
00:32:47I would never emotionally recover
00:32:49Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men
00:32:54Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:58Hmm
00:32:58They got that right
00:32:59Hmm
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money
00:33:27And no connections besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:31But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again
00:33:39I will get you cancelled so fucking hard
00:33:41Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:46Mr. Reed!
00:33:47Hi, uh, Dexter Hayes
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:51You've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:55Well, I would really love to put that, um
00:33:57Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:34:00Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can
00:34:03Got you
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:07When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:12Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune
00:34:14Well, you know, sir, um, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I
00:34:20are working on
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:25You're a musical genius over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:34And you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:41I, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here
00:35:01Casey
00:35:03Casey, Casey, Casey
00:35:06Casey
00:35:08Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:12And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:19For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:21But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:29What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only
00:35:39Yeah
00:35:41Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:52night
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now
00:35:59Yeah, right
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO
00:36:05You have no power here
00:36:08Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex
00:36:18You forgot to say please
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen
00:36:31It's time to announce tonight's special guest
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world
00:36:42But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano
00:36:51Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us
00:37:10He's gonna call us on stage
00:37:11All right, this is it
00:37:13He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records
00:37:15I want to introduce
00:37:18The heir to my billion dollar music empire
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records
00:37:24My princess
00:37:27In the light of my life
00:37:28My daughter
00:37:30Casey Reed
00:37:35What?
00:37:37What?
00:37:40No!
00:37:49Casey
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit!
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby
00:38:10She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:20She just committed career suicide
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold
00:38:29Dad, this is too much
00:38:31A little something from your old man
00:38:33And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold
00:38:36This cannot be happening
00:38:38She's a nobody
00:38:41I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me
00:38:44But I didn't know she was hiding who she was
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy
00:38:49He was her father
00:38:50This whole time she was with me for love, not fame
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth
00:38:56And instead of trusting her
00:38:57I left her for another woman
00:38:59How could I be so blind?
00:39:09Suits you?
00:39:11The guitar and the CEO title
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I just...
00:39:30I still miss you
00:39:31I just...
00:39:32I still miss you
00:39:42Agh!
00:39:43Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt
00:39:51But I mean, you of all people should know
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that's not why I'm here
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand
00:40:16You're the one who lied to me
00:40:18I lied
00:40:18Yeah?
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen!
00:40:26You have to believe me, please
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing
00:40:32I guess, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:35Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, tank your career
00:40:43I made his career
00:40:46I...
00:40:46Loved you
00:40:48Dexter
00:40:48You might have found out who my father is today
00:40:51But you still have no idea who I am
00:40:54Wait...
00:40:58This...
00:40:58This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:02Why...
00:41:02You left...
00:41:04Me...
00:41:04For dead
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad
00:41:08Threw me to the curb
00:41:10For the fame
00:41:11The fortune
00:41:13The fans
00:41:13No, no, please
00:41:14No, no, no, no
00:41:15Actually, I think
00:41:16It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun
00:41:28Reed Records
00:41:29Will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes
00:41:33And dropping him as an artist
00:41:40Effective immediately
00:41:41Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
00:41:47You know, I am so glad
00:41:51I never told you who I really was
00:41:53Because if I didn't
00:41:54I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me
00:41:57Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this, I don't care about that
00:42:00I've always loved you
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter
00:42:04She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent
00:42:09Scarlet is echo
00:42:11She can produce songs
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts with or without read records
00:42:17Dexter, you don't need her
00:42:19She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does
00:42:22Okay, mom, mom, stop
00:42:24You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this
00:42:50I've known you for years
00:42:55I thought you'd stay the same
00:42:59I thought you'd stay the same
00:42:59All of those years
00:43:04I've broken, they were blamed
00:43:12In a twine
00:43:15Lost in time
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:22I'm still
00:43:24And I'm still
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:54I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Read Records
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me
00:44:04I never gave up on us
00:44:06She's got another truth
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about Dex
00:44:18Fine
00:44:20Let's not talk
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:31Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:44Not anymore
00:44:46I'm your former boss now
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:55I don't give a fuck
00:44:56I don't give a fuck
00:44:56About the contract
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:59I just want you
00:45:00And I know that you want me too
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten
00:45:06What we had
00:45:08I've been trying to
00:45:10But being this close again
00:45:11It feels
00:45:14Impossible
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:17But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:25I don't care
00:45:26I don't care
00:45:27About the fans
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:31If you tell me
00:45:32That you want to be with me
00:45:35We'll be together
00:45:41We can tease each other all day
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46That you
00:45:48Still
00:45:49Love me
00:46:13You're right
00:46:13I am like an instrument
00:46:15The way I let you play me
00:46:17After what you did
00:46:19Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:20Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scalette
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:29Thank you
00:46:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:40I mean
00:46:41We have a Dexter Hay
00:46:42Size hole to fill
00:46:43And he could be the next big thing
00:46:44It's not safe
00:46:45Casey
00:46:45You don't need
00:46:46Him
00:46:48He'll hurt you
00:46:48No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:49I don't think you
00:46:50Of all people
00:46:51Get to tell me
00:46:52What I need
00:46:53Casey
00:46:54Casey
00:46:55Casey has every right
00:46:59To be angry with me
00:47:00After what I did
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02She can trust me again
00:47:10Oh
00:47:12Oh
00:47:15Perfect timing
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable
00:47:17Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice
00:47:19Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:23I've made an exception for you
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means
00:47:30But
00:47:32You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:38Well
00:47:40Hired to be blown away
00:47:42Actually
00:47:43I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:45So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course
00:47:51But
00:47:53You're not in a hurry
00:47:54Why don't we toast first
00:47:55To this potential partnership
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka
00:48:18I do love straight vodka
00:48:22Hmm
00:48:24But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing asshole pervs
00:48:36My hair
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:47Not so fast
00:48:48You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely
00:48:56And a fraud
00:49:00I'll be sure no label will ever sign you no matter how talented you are
00:49:06I want me to label to sign me
00:49:08Not when I get read records
00:49:09Or myself
00:49:13Don't be shy Casey
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:15The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:23How you slept your way to the top
00:49:26Your poor father
00:49:27He's gonna have no choice
00:49:29But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:32You're delusional
00:49:34So stay away from me
00:49:35You're fine
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off
00:49:41What?
00:49:42I'm gonna break your fucking hands
00:49:45Dexter Hayes
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine
00:49:53What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that
00:49:57I'd love to see you twice where you are
00:49:59You're just a wash up addict
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:50:02Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry
00:50:08Jesus
00:50:10We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:12You kinda wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:16I mean what the fuck
00:50:17What the fuck
00:50:19The name
00:50:21Is KC Ring
00:50:22And she's the future
00:50:23Of the industry
00:50:24That you want so badly
00:50:26Fucking in
00:50:28Your career is dead
00:50:29Sasha
00:50:30I'm not sure of that
00:50:33Let's go
00:50:41Let's go
00:50:44Give me your hand
00:50:45Give me your hand
00:51:11You know
00:51:11It's not your concern
00:51:13Where I am
00:51:14Or what I'm doing
00:51:15Okay?
00:51:16So stop
00:51:18Following me
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving
00:51:26Stop following you
00:51:27The minute that you
00:51:28Stop making stupid
00:51:30Fucking decisions
00:51:32And when I've made up for all the danger
00:51:34I've put her in
00:51:38You're way
00:51:40Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:44Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:53I did not
00:51:54Want
00:51:55To marry
00:51:56Scarlet
00:51:58You don't fucking listen
00:52:00Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:13So
00:52:15What am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she
00:52:18Doesn't exist
00:52:19And be
00:52:20The pop star's
00:52:23Secret side piece again
00:52:26I should push him away
00:52:28But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:30You were never the side piece
00:52:34And you know it
00:52:45Boss!
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:48Thank you for your help today, Dexter
00:52:53Please
00:52:53Stop following me
00:52:58Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away
00:53:11Great timing!
00:53:12As always
00:53:13Why are you even here?
00:53:15I've done what you asked
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:20No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:22His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:25Good
00:53:26Buy all the rice to his music
00:53:29I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:38Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:42But that could've gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:45I could've handled Sasha
00:53:47There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled
00:53:55Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:54:06He can't sing anything anywhere
00:54:09Or get sued to hell and back
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14For me?
00:54:15Maybe
00:54:15He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:17Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:25The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:32night
00:54:34Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:35She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies
00:54:39She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:41Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:50She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:56producer
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:55:00I think it's time
00:55:02The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:55:09You wanna go to the UMAs?
00:55:11As Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:14I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:17It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:20The world?
00:55:21Or Dexter?
00:55:25This isn't about him
00:55:29He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:31Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:35But if you're gonna go as Echo, oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:39With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:51You're the best dad
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes! It's so good to see you again
00:56:12How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged?
00:56:14Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:19And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:26She's a musical genius
00:56:28We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:31Of course! I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:42Okay
00:56:43Please don't touch that
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:48Ugh, it's you
00:56:49Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:55Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:58I have to ask you to leave
00:57:00No
00:57:05I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:57:09I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:57:12Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:57:15We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:17Hmm, tell that to Scarlett
00:57:20Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee and creative collaborator
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:29Yeah...
00:57:29You're right
00:57:30In that case...
00:57:33You should have this
00:57:41No!
00:57:41No!
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:48What?!
00:57:52Oops...
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands
00:57:55My bad
00:57:56Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:58:02Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second
00:58:06Dexter Hayes?
00:58:08Oh my God!
00:58:11Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:13You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes! Of course, Mr. Hayes!
00:58:17Thank you
00:58:19Just kidding
00:58:22It's all yours now
00:58:33Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:36We'll find a better option
00:58:39Mmm
00:58:40Mmm
00:58:43Like this one
00:58:45Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:47This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:50The Genius Producer
00:58:52Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:55Actually, actually
00:58:56This guitar is no longer available
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:59:03I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies, my apologies, my apologies
00:59:09Apologies, but...
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we saw it first
00:59:12Look, look, we just want the one guitar
00:59:14I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:19But it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage
00:59:26How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:34That's enough
00:59:38Hi, Dexy
00:59:39Hi, Dexy
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just insulted your fiancƩ
00:59:47You need to do something
00:59:49Ma?
00:59:50Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:53About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
01:00:01The least you could do is show her a little respect
01:00:06You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right
01:00:09I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt
01:00:18I knew you would support me
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:22You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs
01:00:26And I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now
01:00:29Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store
01:00:32How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider it a late birthday gift
01:00:45For my former assistant
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:49You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all
01:00:55But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter, are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even a real musician
01:01:06And you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:12Oh, it's okay, Scarlet could have it for free
01:01:15As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:22Casey, I am not stooping to your level
01:01:24And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:27I will talk to you about this later
01:01:31You will regret this
01:01:33Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:36She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:40Thanks, Mom
01:01:45Hi
01:01:47One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:50It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:54Two, my birthday was months ago
01:01:56Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:59So your gift means nothing
01:02:03Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11Secret?
01:02:11Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No
01:02:19That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:26But not anymore
01:02:29I don't need you
01:02:40I don't need you
01:02:41Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:42I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection
01:02:46Yes, sir?
01:02:49Oh, one more thing
01:02:52She's fired
01:02:54Yes, sir
01:02:56Thank you
01:02:58Dexter, you can't do this, I love you
01:03:06Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five
01:03:16The broadcast will begin live
01:03:18Thank you
01:03:20Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:24It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:27The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:30I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:35Alright guys, it's time, let's go
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me
01:03:58I knew you'd make it
01:03:59Of course she did
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet
01:04:05You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:04:08I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:04:14none
01:04:15Mmm, I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:20Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:23Break a leg, Scarlet
01:04:26Or should I say
01:04:27Echo
01:04:29Don't choke
01:04:31Hope you don't choke
01:04:55Fuck
01:04:55The playback's down
01:04:57The track's gone, completely white
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version
01:05:06I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks
01:05:10Go fix this
01:05:11Now!
01:05:14This is bad, alright
01:05:15Everyone's just out there staring at us
01:05:17We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:19And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:20What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea
01:05:26Your...Echo
01:05:27Right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true
01:05:40I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:47Then prove it
01:05:49Go ahead!
01:05:50Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:53Come on, you're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:59I mean, the whole world is watching
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:06:05This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:06:07I must have another file I can play
01:06:09I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real-time
01:06:12Of course
01:06:14Watch me work my magic
01:06:33And that's how it's done
01:06:35Show must go on
01:06:37Nice try
01:06:39Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:40You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:44Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:47And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah
01:06:59Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way
01:07:02That means recording the instruments live, looping the-
01:07:05Don't listen to her!
01:07:07She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:07:10And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:07:14If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage the-
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that? For real, okay?
01:07:21You're- You're Echo, okay?
01:07:23So, just fix the track
01:07:26Yeah
01:07:28Come on Echo, what, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:42You have to fix this
01:07:43I could, if I had something other than this shoddy-breed-records-music-equipment to work with
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I- I actually would, gladly, but it's actually your big night, so
01:07:57Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:08:02Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:08:08Just, your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track, it's that simple, you know how to do this
01:08:15You really think your fiancƩ is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:25I can't let her expose me
01:08:26Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:30Beep
01:08:51Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:18Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:25Get off the stage!
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:31Alright, look
01:09:34It's done
01:09:36You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am
01:09:42That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:46Yeah
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:55That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:58And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:10:03Read Records
01:10:06Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes, your entire life's work is on the line
01:10:12Mom
01:10:13You heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving the song
01:10:16Now it's over, it's over
01:10:33Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:37No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other-
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:51What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, Mom, stop
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing
01:11:10And if you don't?
01:11:12Will you step down as Read Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily
01:11:17Hmm
01:11:21Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records CEO dig her own grid
01:11:25It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:30Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:32Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:37Right now
01:11:37Right now?
01:11:44I am not the kind for a show
01:11:52This is not a one-time thing
01:11:55Lights are low, but I still glow
01:12:00This morning's got a sting
01:12:04Good!
01:12:08Now let's make a hit
01:12:17Let's fucking go!
01:12:34Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:39So, do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:41I can't, I don't have but
01:12:42You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sound, it's familiar
01:12:58I am not the kind for a show
01:13:03This is not a one-time thing
01:13:06Stop! Stop it!
01:13:18Casey?
01:13:21You are Echo?
01:13:23Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:26this is my song she just ripped it off who's stealing now scarlet don't listen to her i'm echo
01:13:38i didn't even make that version i had to pay taylor's producer to send me one of her reject
01:13:42tracks go fix this now everyone knows the truth
01:13:54she's the one that saved the song no that was me i already did all the work she's just taking

01:16:48hey
01:18:57You arrogant fucking whore.
01:19:01You ruined everything.
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine.
01:19:08I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world.
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:26Dex, no!
01:19:31No!
01:19:36No!
01:19:37No!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:39Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my God!
01:19:48Hey, you've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:06save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18I said, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:41Hmm?
01:20:42Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:43The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:56If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um...
01:22:53We can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:12Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I...
01:23:36I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:45And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:48And I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:06Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:20Reminds me.
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:39You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08You do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you, too.
01:25:41It's the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:05But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:19So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:39Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where we're together.
01:26:58This goes on.
01:27:02There's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking.
01:27:07All you do was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreated.
01:27:17Every time I look at the moon's fall, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:34It's the best so far, we're just a little.
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am just a little.
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:59My dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:09Taking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:28:22Every time I remember to smile
01:28:27I imagine a world where we're together
