Short filmTranscript
00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:54I'm going to hear from you.
00:02:10Hey Kees, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14What are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it'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...
00:07:472...
00:07:473...
00:07:493...
00:08:073...
00:08:08I remember the time I saw you write
00:08:13One thing through a memory of mine
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19The secret feeling I'd get out
00:08:21Knowing I was running out of time
00:08:59The secret feeling I'd get 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 to announce our relationship
00:09:40I loved her, and she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my God! Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my God, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my God! Dexie!
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, and Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33All right, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:46Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:57You promised me
00:11:02That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead, you'd propose
00:11:07And put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you-you-you gave me no choice
00:11:14I 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, I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:26All right, I don't-
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
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, so-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
00:12:16Who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:20To be
00:12:20A music industry power couple?
00:12:23To please your adoring fans
00:12:25To 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 your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is 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
00:13:04Dexter, 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
00:13:51So please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:54Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:59Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:22We're over
00:14:23Dex
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 and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:27God damn you
00:15:27Stacy
00:15:28Stacy
00:15:28Casey!
00:15:28Where are you?
00:15:38It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go.
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:50We won't hurt you.
00:15:52We're your fans, too.
00:15:54We both shook Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:57I'm just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:09I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:11We were in love.
00:16:12Or I thought we were.
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room.
00:16:34Come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:38Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:43You've reached Casey.
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert.
00:16:54Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:57Dexter is coming.
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is.
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him, too?
00:17:17God.
00:17:18Our precious Dexter.
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:25You don't deserve to live.
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:30So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true!
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:40You're psychotic!
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:48single on our new album.
00:17:51You're crazier than they are.
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey.
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:06Dexter!
00:18:07Casey!
00:18:08Dexter!
00:18:09Dexter!
00:18:10Dexter!
00:18:11Dexter, help me!
00:18:12They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you!
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works!
00:18:37Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now, you can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:50mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I told you Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:08I have to break her heart.
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:38You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me.
00:19:43That's email.
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice.
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute.
00:20:10You told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:27I guess this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:39Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go, let's go.
00:20:55Let's go, let's go.
00:20:56Okay, okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:00All right.
00:21:03It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die.
00:21:08And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:11I was right to walk away.
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:17Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:30Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:21:32Hey.
00:21:41Casey, Casey, stop, please, stop, please, please, please.
00:21:44We're gonna go...
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:53You're delusional.
00:21:55He doesn't need you.
00:21:56He has Echo.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Sure he does.
00:22:01Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:06Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:17I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:59I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:06Take me home.
00:23:19Dexter, we can't have a million for you.
00:23:21I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
00:23:27I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:23:27I was trying to...
00:23:28Dexter, hey!
00:23:30Dexter, hey!
00:23:34Dexter!
00:23:37Dexter, hey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet.
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:03Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, princess.
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:42announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:00My back is pressed.
00:25:09My back is pressed.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:32The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in 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, of course I am.
00:26:00It's just your new assistant.
00:26:02He's been messing.
00:26:04He's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:23It's Dexter.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright, 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.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:24a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse tangled hair or her dull crusty skin or maybe those hideous god-awful clothes?
00:29:02I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:14How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:49She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look!
00:29:52Here she is now!
00:30:04No fucking way!
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey, Dex.
00:30:37Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:51Okay.
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right.
00:31:19I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:41Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:53But the party's just getting started.
00:31:56I 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 so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:13Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:23I loved him and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want.
00:32:34But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important.
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:48I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:54Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm.
00:32:59They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm.
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful.
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make
00:33:30in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed.
00:33:47Hi.
00:33:48Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:51You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes.
00:34:02Of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:10is my daughter, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:15Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and
00:34:20I are working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:27over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special.
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:34And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, well, that would make me
00:34:43forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here.
00:35:02Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, 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, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:29What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only.
00:35:39Yeah, dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander
00:35:51and empty accusations all night.
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:59Yeah, right.
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys.
00:36:09Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex.
00:36:18You forgot to say please.
00:36:22Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:43But tonight, I'm gonna introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never
00:36:54put her name on one of them, because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:10He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:12All right, this is it.
00:37:13He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.

00:43:54I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got another truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:32Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:44Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:55I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:59I just want you.
00:45:00And I know that you want me too.
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten.
00:45:06What we had.
00:45:08I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:18But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:25I don't care about the fans.
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:31If you tell me that you want to be with me,
00:45:35we'll be together.
00:45:40We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46that you
00:45:47still
00:45:49love me.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:14I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did,
00:46:19why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me.
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:31Hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months
00:46:34the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag
00:46:38with 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, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you
00:46:50of all people
00:46:51get to tell me
00:46:52what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey, Casey.
00:46:58Casey has every right
00:46:59to be angry with me
00:47:00after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02if she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank you for meeting me
00:47:18on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:21women who speak too much.
00:47:23I've been an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:26in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means.
00:47:30But
00:47:32you want to hear
00:47:33one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:36I'm very excited
00:47:37about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Wow.
00:47:40I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:42Actually,
00:47:43I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:45if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there
00:47:47faking their music with AI,
00:47:48you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:51But
00:47:53you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first
00:47:55to this potential partnership?
00:48:14Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:24But you know what I
00:48:27actually
00:48:29love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing
00:48:34asshole pervs.
00:48:36My hair!
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think
00:48:40you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you
00:48:42to read records?
00:48:44Now you know
00:48:45who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could
00:48:49just walk in here
00:48:50and demand a live performance
00:48:51from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look
00:48:54like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:56And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure
00:49:01no label will ever
00:49:02sign you
00:49:03no matter how talented
00:49:04you are.
00:49:06I want me to label
00:49:07to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can read records
00:49:09for myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping
00:49:15you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi
00:49:16will be here any minute
00:49:17to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos
00:49:19all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see
00:49:22what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slept
00:49:24your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have no choice
00:49:29but to hand you
00:49:31and your company
00:49:31over to me.
00:49:32You're delusional.
00:49:34Stay away from me.
00:49:35You're fine.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37that.
00:49:38Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'm going to break
00:49:43your fucking hands.
00:49:44Mr. Hayes.
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine.
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that.
00:49:57I'd love to see you
00:49:57twice, sweetheart.
00:49:59You're just a
00:49:59wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not have
00:50:01a leg to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have produced
00:50:11a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted
00:50:13to defend this
00:50:14used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19The name
00:50:21is K.C. Wynn.
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.
00:50:31Let's go.
00:50:40Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:52K.C., I've been telling you
00:50:54for months.
00:50:55Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:56My business
00:50:57is none of your concern.
00:50:59If I didn't show up tonight,
00:51:00what the hell do you think
00:51:01would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea
00:51:02what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.
00:51:04Yes!
00:51:05Okay, I know.
00:51:07Newsflash.
00:51:08I'm not your assistant
00:51:10anymore.
00:51:11So, it's not your concern
00:51:13where I am
00:51:14or what I'm doing, okay?
00:51:15So, stop
00:51:18following me.

00:51:26Stop following you
00:51:27the minute that you

00:51:30fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made up
00:51:33for all the danger
00:51:34I've put her in.
00:51:38You're way
00:51:40too interested
00:51:41in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiance
00:51:45be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying
00:51:51to tell you
00:51:52for weeks
00:51:53I did not
00:51:54want
00:51:55to marry
00:51:56Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking
00:51:59listen.
00:52:00Now you're really
00:52:01starting to piss me off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:13So,
00:52:15what am I
00:52:16supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend
00:52:18she
00:52:18doesn't exist
00:52:19and be
00:52:20the pop star's
00:52:22secret
00:52:23side piece
00:52:24again?
00:52:26I should push
00:52:27him away
00:52:28but
00:52:28I can't deny
00:52:29how much I miss
00:52:30his touch.
00:52:31You were never
00:52:31the side piece
00:52:34and you know it.
00:52:45boss, I have news.
00:52:48Thank you
00:52:49for your help
00:52:50today, Dexter.
00:52:53Please
00:52:54stop following me
00:52:58or else
00:52:59it's going to get
00:52:59harder and harder
00:53:00to walk away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15Done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha
00:53:17Silver's fraudulence
00:53:18and drug abuse
00:53:18have been leaked
00:53:19to the press.
00:53:20No label,
00:53:21studio,
00:53:21brand will go
00:53:22anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth
00:53:23plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rice
00:53:26to his music.
00:53:29I'm going to get
00:53:30that to Casey
00:53:30as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what
00:53:37happened with Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was
00:53:39way too risky, Casey.
00:53:40Look, I'm far
00:53:41from Dexter's
00:53:42biggest fan
00:53:42but that could have
00:53:43gotten real ugly
00:53:44if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:45I could have
00:53:46handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also
00:53:48a huge leak
00:53:48in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:51dirty laundry
00:53:52had out for everyone
00:53:53to see.
00:53:53He's been,
00:53:54what do you kids
00:53:54call it,
00:53:55canceled.
00:53:56Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought
00:54:05the rights
00:54:05to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing
00:54:08anything anywhere
00:54:09or get sued
00:54:10to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down
00:54:12Sasha Silver
00:54:13for me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad
00:54:17as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should
00:54:19stop interfering
00:54:20himself with my life.
00:54:25The world famous
00:54:27music producer Echo
00:54:28is set to finally
00:54:29reveal their identity
00:54:30at the legendary
00:54:31Universal Music Awards
00:54:32tomorrow night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting
00:54:35desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to convince
00:54:37the world she's Echo
00:54:38before it can expose
00:54:39her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up
00:54:41the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later,
00:54:43Dexter will realize
00:54:43she can't even hold
00:54:44a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce
00:54:46a hit track.
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing
00:54:48if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter
00:54:51wouldn't look at her
00:54:52twice, let alone
00:54:53marry her,
00:54:54if she wasn't
00:54:55pretending to be
00:54:55a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how
00:54:57she thinks she's
00:54:58going to get away
00:54:58with it.
00:55:00I think it's time
00:55:02the world finds out
00:55:03who the real Echo
00:55:04is.
00:55:09You want to go
00:55:10to the UMAs
00:55:11as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me
00:55:13every year
00:55:13and I've always refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam
00:55:16go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world
00:55:18finds out the truth
00:55:19about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world?
00:55:21Or Dexter?
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed
00:55:30when he proposed
00:55:30to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter
00:55:32deserves all the
00:55:33recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're
00:55:36going to go as Echo,
00:55:37oh, you're going
00:55:37to do it right.
00:55:39With the best
00:55:40equipment money
00:55:40can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people
00:55:45to see my princess
00:55:46for the queen
00:55:47that she is.
00:55:51You're the best, Dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes!
00:56:08It's so good
00:56:09to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:12Engaged?
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:15My future daughter-in-law
00:56:16is performing
00:56:17at the Universal Music Awards
00:56:19tomorrow
00:56:19and I'd like to gift her
00:56:21something to mark
00:56:22the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these
00:56:24mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something
00:56:29one of a kind
00:56:29just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the perfect gift
00:56:33for her.
00:56:34A custom
00:56:35Fender Signature
00:56:36Stratocaster.

00:56:44Those instruments

00:56:46our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Yeah.

00:57:10of a right
00:57:11to be here
00:57:11as you.
00:57:12Because of your
00:57:13Nepo baby
00:57:13connections,
00:57:14we all know money
00:57:15can't buy talent.
00:57:17Hmm.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:23fiancee
00:57:24and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really
00:57:26know anything
00:57:27about music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31In that case,
00:57:33you should have this.
00:57:40No!
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Oh!
00:57:58Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed
00:58:00a million dollar guitar.
00:58:03Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my God.
00:58:11I need to speak
00:58:12to the owner
00:58:13about an offer.
00:58:14You think you
00:58:14set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course,
00:58:16Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlett.
00:58:33Scarlett,
00:58:33ignore this
00:58:34wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find
00:58:37a better option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used
00:58:46this on her last album.
00:58:47This instrument
00:58:49is worthy of
00:58:50Echo,
00:58:51the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:55Hey, hey, hey.
00:58:55actually,
00:58:56this guitar
00:58:57is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact,
00:59:00my entire collection
00:59:01is on hold
00:59:02for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies,
00:59:08my apologies,
00:59:08my apologies.
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look,
00:59:13we just want
00:59:14the one guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come
00:59:15to a generous agreement.
00:59:17You could pay
00:59:18all you want
00:59:18for the guitar,
00:59:19but it's not gonna
00:59:20stop Scarlett
00:59:21from choking
00:59:22on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you,
00:59:28you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:39Hi, Dexy.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter,
00:59:45she just insulted
00:59:46your Beyonce.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:50Mom,
00:59:50do you really want
00:59:51to have a conversation
00:59:52right here and now
00:59:53about the current status
00:59:54of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent
00:59:57as a producer
00:59:58is the reason
00:59:58you're as famous
00:59:59as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01the least you could do
01:00:03is show her
01:00:04a little respect.
01:00:06You know what,
01:00:07actually,
01:00:08I'm sorry,
01:00:08you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect
01:00:11to the one person
01:00:13who's always been there
01:00:13for me.
01:00:16Please ring up
01:00:16the guitar
01:00:17for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you
01:00:19would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes,
01:00:21it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know,
01:00:23why don't you ask
01:00:24the new owner
01:00:25how much it costs
01:00:26and I'll pay it
01:00:27whatever it is
01:00:27right here and now.
01:00:29Miss Reed,
01:00:31as the new owner
01:00:32of the store,
01:00:32how much would you
01:00:33like to charge
01:00:34the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry,
01:00:40I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:45for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think
01:00:51I need a music store?
01:00:53Well,
01:00:53as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:54you probably don't know.
01:00:55But,
01:00:56I'm someone who
01:00:57cares about you a lot,
01:00:58why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even
01:01:04a real musician
01:01:06and you gave her
01:01:07the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us
01:01:10pay her
01:01:11for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's,
01:01:13it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have it
01:01:15for free.
01:01:15As long as she shows us
01:01:17the big hit that
01:01:18she's working on you.
01:01:21Casey,
01:01:22I am not stooping
01:01:24to your level.
01:01:25And besides,
01:01:26we're late for hair
01:01:26and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you
01:01:29about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done
01:01:35nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face
01:01:38with no talent
01:01:39to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:47One,
01:01:47I'm not your assistant
01:01:49anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed
01:01:51and I'm the CEO
01:01:52of Reed Records.
01:01:53Two,
01:01:55my birthday
01:01:55was months ago.
01:01:57Actually,
01:01:57the night that you
01:01:58proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:59so your gift
01:02:00means nothing.
01:02:03Did you know
01:02:04I was actually
01:02:05going to tell you
01:02:05my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:10Secret?
01:02:11Hold on,
01:02:12what are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:14What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him
01:02:17the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to spend
01:02:21every single day
01:02:21of the rest of my life
01:02:22with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention
01:02:41to anything she just said.
01:02:42Yeah?
01:02:43I want you to get
01:02:43the best equipment
01:02:44and the best instruments
01:02:45to her collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:49Oh,
01:02:50one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:58But,
01:02:59Dexter,
01:02:59you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:14Mr. Hayes,
01:03:15Ms. Hart,
01:03:16you're on in five.
01:03:16The broadcast
01:03:17will begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans
01:03:23are going to be
01:03:23hearing your song.
01:03:25It's exactly
01:03:25what you deserve.
01:03:26The world needs
01:03:28to hear your talent.
01:03:30I can't believe
01:03:31I'm about to perform
01:03:31on the Universal
01:03:32Music Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scotland!
01:03:52You can't start
01:03:53the show without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably
01:04:01got her a ticket
01:04:02after she cried
01:04:02about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet.
01:04:05You know,
01:04:06I'm actually surprised
01:04:07you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be
01:04:09too painful for you
01:04:10to witness people
01:04:11with actual talent
01:04:12perform when
01:04:13you yourself have none.
01:04:15Mmm.
01:04:16I'm getting
01:04:17a lecture about talent
01:04:19from you.
01:04:20Oh.
01:04:21Guess we'll see
01:04:21who's real
01:04:22and who's fake tonight.
01:04:24Wreck-a-leg, Scarlet.
01:04:26Or should I say
01:04:27Echo?
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:56The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:59You have another version
01:05:00of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make
01:05:06that version.
01:05:07I had to pay
01:05:07Taylor Swift's producer
01:05:08to send me
01:05:09to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15Everyone's just out there
01:05:16staring at us.
01:05:17We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:19and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:21What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea.
01:05:26You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo,
01:05:42the award-winning producer
01:05:44and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:45long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us
01:05:52a live track right here,
01:05:53right now?
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean,
01:05:57this is your chance
01:05:58to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean,
01:06:00the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know
01:06:03what any of these buttons
01:06:03even do.
01:06:04This bitch
01:06:05is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file
01:06:08I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look
01:06:10like I'm mixing 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.
01:06:38Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop
01:06:41with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay, can you boost the treble
01:06:45on the EQ in the middle
01:06:46and can you pan
01:06:47from stage left to stage right
01:06:49real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn, I guess you're gonna have
01:07:01to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means recording
01:07:03the instruments live,
01:07:04looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her.
01:07:07She doesn't know
01:07:07what it takes
01:07:08to make a track
01:07:08of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't the first time
01:07:11one of Dexter's tracks
01:07:12have been corrupted.
01:07:14If I didn't know any better,
01:07:15I'd think you were trying
01:07:17to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:19why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real?
01:07:21Okay, here,
01:07:22here, Echo.
01:07:23Okay, so
01:07:24just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What, you have
01:07:29performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could,
01:07:45if I had something
01:07:46other than this shoddy
01:07:47Reed Records
01:07:48music equipment
01:07:48to work with.
01:07:49Casey,
01:07:50if you're such a genius,
01:07:51why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would,
01:07:54gladly,
01:07:55but it's actually
01:07:56your big night,
01:07:56so why don't you
01:07:58show everyone
01:07:58the brilliant Echo
01:07:59and how you made
01:08:00Dexter Hayes a superstar.
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some mini instruments,
01:08:11lay them down,
01:08:12make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think
01:08:16your fiancé
01:08:17is going to be able
01:08:18to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean,
01:08:19if she goes down,
01:08:20you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:26Not when I'm so close
01:08:28to marrying Dexter
01:08:29and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius
01:08:56to make that racket
01:08:57sound like music.
01:09:16Are you guys...
01:09:18Oh my God,
01:09:19is Scarlet Heart
01:09:20tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on, Echo.
01:09:23Show them your talent.
01:09:24Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage.
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really going to give up
01:09:37that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it all away
01:09:40because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:43That whole career
01:09:43that I fought for
01:09:45for however,
01:09:45how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to
01:09:54once told me
01:09:55that there's a lot more
01:09:56to life than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows,
01:09:59maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:01as a personal assistant
01:10:02for the new CEO
01:10:03of Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter,
01:10:07stop it
01:10:07with those awful jokes.
01:10:09Your entire life's work
01:10:11is on the line.
01:10:12Mom,
01:10:13you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving this song.
01:10:16Now, it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:32Well,
01:10:33I guess it's time
01:10:34for the next act
01:10:35of this show.
01:10:37No, no.
01:10:38There's no,
01:10:39there's no other act.
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let
01:10:42a real musician
01:10:43take the stage.
01:10:51What the hell
01:10:52do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, Mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean,
01:11:00you can stay
01:11:01unless you want to go down
01:11:02as the worst performer
01:11:03in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix
01:11:05a whole live track,
01:11:06what makes you think
01:11:07you could?
01:11:08For one,
01:11:09I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't?
01:11:12Will you step down
01:11:14as Reed Records CEO
01:11:15if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone,
01:11:22we're about to watch
01:11:23the Reed Records CEO
01:11:24dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo
01:11:26is having technical difficulties
01:11:28with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live,
01:11:31let's make something new.
01:11:33Dexter,
01:11:33sing me the first line
01:11:34of your song,
01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now?
01:11:44I am not
01:11:46the kind
01:11:48for a show.
01:11:51This is not
01:11:53a one-time thing.
01:11:56Lights are low,
01:11:57but I still glow.
01:12:00This morning's got
01:12:02a sting.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:06Good.
01:12:08Now let's
01:12:09make a hit.
01:12:17Let's fucking go!
01:12:34Wait,
01:12:34what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean,
01:12:38you produced this,
01:12:39right?
01:12:39So do you want
01:12:39to go ahead
01:12:40and take over?
01:12:40I can't.
01:12:42I don't have
01:12:42but...
01:12:43You don't need
01:12:44anything except
01:12:45for a band
01:12:45and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean,
01:12:47you are a musician,
01:12:48right?
01:12:52Then when is Casey
01:12:53made a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds...
01:12:56It's familiar.
01:12:58You're not the kind
01:13:00for a show.
01:13:03This is not
01:13:04a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:20Casey...
01:13:22You're Echo.
01:13:22Does this mean
01:13:23Casey Reed
01:13:25is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song!
01:13:28She just ripped it off!
01:13:30Who's suing now,
01:13:31Scarlet?
01:13:32Don't listen to her!
01:13:34I'm Echo!
01:13:38I didn't even make
01:13:39that version.
01:13:40I had to pay Taylor Swift's
01:13:41producer to send me
01:13:42one of her reject tracks.
01:13:43Go fix this.
01:13:47Now everyone knows
01:13:48the truth.
01:13:54She's the one
01:13:54that saved the song.
01:13:55No, that was me!
01:13:57I already did
01:13:58all the work.
01:13:58She's just
01:13:59taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix
01:14:01the track live,
01:14:02Dexter,
01:14:03so that makes it
01:14:04my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome
01:14:07to put it on
01:14:07your next album,
01:14:08but you're gonna
01:14:09have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think
01:14:12you could afford
01:14:12my fee.
01:14:14I think you might
01:14:15just be surprised.
01:14:17$200 million.
01:14:19$200 million?
01:14:20For one song?
01:14:22That's more than
01:14:23our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:25And I want
01:14:27my name to be credited.
01:14:29Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public apology
01:14:36from Scarlet Heart
01:14:38and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we
01:14:41apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean,
01:14:43you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just
01:14:44go ahead and leave
01:14:45and then Scarlet
01:14:46could finish the album
01:14:47and Dexter's career
01:14:48could crash and burn.
01:14:49So,
01:14:50what will it be?
01:14:57The clock is ticking.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:01You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:11Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to
01:15:15apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlet?
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo!
01:15:24I pretended
01:15:24and I never wrote
01:15:25or produced
01:15:26any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:27They are happy!
01:15:31They are happy!
01:15:34Wait,
01:15:35that's not
01:15:36what I really meant!
01:15:37Dexter,
01:15:38she manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiance!
01:15:41You believe-
01:15:42Scarlet,
01:15:42you are exactly
01:15:43what we all see you.
01:15:44You fucking bought
01:15:45and you're a damn liar!
01:15:48Casey
01:15:49is the one
01:15:50who built my career.
01:15:51Hell,
01:15:51she's the one
01:15:51who saved the damn song!
01:15:54She's the only one
01:15:55who ever cared
01:15:56about me
01:15:57or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement
01:16:00is off
01:16:01and so is the record.
01:16:25Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract
01:16:29and blacklisting you
01:16:30from the industry.
01:16:31Two years old.
01:16:37You got yourself
01:16:39the old case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:54If we're not here
01:16:57for long
01:16:58Tell me where
01:17:01where would we belong
01:17:03My back is fast
01:17:07against the wall
01:17:09I need you to know
01:17:12I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:16Your name's on fire
01:17:19In my veins
01:17:22It's burning for my chains
01:17:26Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:32Who am I to live like?
01:17:40Who am I to live like?
01:17:48For long
01:17:49In my veins select my own blood
01:17:55Or maybe where would you go?
01:18:44Genius music producer, Echo.
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:58You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:01You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine!
01:19:07I 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.
01:19:25Kasey!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:31No!
01:19:37No!
01:19:37No!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:40Stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my god!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:00You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life
01:20:06to save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:12Kasey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:41Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:44The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to
01:20:49the 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, he'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it, okay?
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.
01:22:11I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:20I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And we can go our separate ways.
01:22:55We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:12Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I'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.
01:23:46And 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.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which reminds me.
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:33You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:38You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08You do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:41It's the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:25:52Yes, 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.
01:26:35Yes, ma'am.
01:26:38Every time I remember to smile, I imagine we're way together.
01:26:58This goes on.
01:27:02Stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking for all you do.
01:27:11Was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreated.
01:27:16Every time I look at the moon's form, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:35It's the best of your heart, we've had to let off.
01:27:45Every time I look at the moon's form, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:09Yeah, yeah.
01:28:10Yeah, yeah.
01:28:10I'm thinking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:28:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:18The mirror ain't nothing.
01:28:20My heart ain't still beating.
01:28:22Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where we're together.
01:28:31I know.
01:28:37I'm thinking and talking.
01:28:37You
