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

00:44:46Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:48What we had
00:44:51I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:57Impossible
00:44:58You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:00But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:03I don't care
00:45:10About the fans
00:45:11I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:13I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:14If you tell me
00:45:16That you want to be with me
00:45:18We'll be together
00:45:20We can tease each other all day
00:45:26Until you finally admit
00:45:30That you
00:45:31Still
00:45:33Love me
00:45:34You're right
00:45:44I am like an instrument
00:45:59The way I let you play me
00:46:01After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again
00:46:04Listen to me
00:46:06I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:10Hello
00:46:10Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:13Thank you
00:46:14Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:15Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:18The guy's a douchebag
00:46:19A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:24I mean
00:46:25We have a Dexter Hayes size hold to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:28It's not safe
00:46:29Casey, you don't need him
00:46:31He'll hurt you
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:34Of all people
00:46:35Get to tell me what I need
00:46:37Casey
00:46:38Casey, Casey
00:46:39Casey has every right
00:46:43To be angry with me
00:46:44After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46She can trust me again
00:46:47Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me
00:47:02On self-short notice
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05Women who speak too much
00:47:06I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:10In the third person?
00:47:12I don't know what that means
00:47:13But
00:47:15You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:22Hired to be blown away
00:47:24Actually
00:47:26I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:29If you don't mind
00:47:29So many musicians out there
00:47:31Faking their music with AI, you know
00:47:32Of course
00:47:33But
00:47:36You're not in a hurry
00:47:37Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership
00:47:41Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka
00:48:02But you know what I
00:48:09Actually
00:48:11Love even more than that
00:48:14What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:17Asshole pervs
00:48:19My hair
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:27Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:29Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance
00:48:35From the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:41I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:46No matter how talented you are
00:48:48I want me to label to sign me
00:48:51Not when I get read records
00:48:53For myself
00:48:54I'll be shy Casey
00:48:57I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:00To see my new mistress
00:49:02They'll plaster our photos
00:49:03All over the tabloids
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:08Your poor father
00:49:11He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:17Stay away from me
00:49:19You're fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey
00:49:21Get your fucking hands off
00:49:24What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:27Dexter Hayes
00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine
00:49:32What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:37I could sue you for that
00:49:39I'd love to see you try, sweetheart
00:49:41You're just a wash-up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry
00:49:52Jesus
00:49:53We could have produced a sick-ass record together
00:49:56If you kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut
00:49:59I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:01Her name
00:50:04Is Casey Wee
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07Of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly
00:50:09Fucking in
00:50:10Your career is dead
00:50:12Sasha
00:50:13I'm not sure of that
00:50:15Let's go
00:50:17Let's go
00:50:25Give me your hand
00:50:29Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:39My business is none of your concern
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:43What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:45Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48He could have done-
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:51I'm not your assistant anymore
00:50:54So, it's not your concern
00:50:56Where I am
00:50:57Or what I'm doing
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:59So, stop
00:51:00Following me
00:51:02The car is still fucking moving
00:51:08I'll stop following you
00:51:10The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:13Fucking decisions
00:51:15And when I've made it for all the danger
00:51:17I've put her in
00:51:18You're way
00:51:22Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:33I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:37Want to marry
00:51:39Scarlet
00:51:40You don't fucking listen
00:51:42Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:47So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:00Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:03And be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:07I should push him away
00:52:11But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:15And you know it
00:52:18Boss, I have news
00:52:29Thank you for your help today
00:52:33Dexter
00:52:34Please
00:52:36Stop following me
00:52:39Or else it's gonna get harder and harder
00:52:43To walk away
00:52:44Great timing
00:52:54As always
00:52:56Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:53:01And drug abuse
00:53:01Have been leaked to the press
00:53:02No label, studio, or brand
00:53:04Will go anywhere near
00:53:05His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:07Good
00:53:08Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:10I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:13I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:21Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:25But that could have gotten real ugly
00:53:27If he hadn't shown up
00:53:28I could have handled Sasha
00:53:29There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:34Dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled
00:53:38Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes
00:53:42He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:49He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For me?
00:53:58Maybe
00:53:58He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:00Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:04The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:10Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:13At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:16Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:18She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:21Before it can expose her lies
00:54:22She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:24Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:27Much less produce a hit track
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:32She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:35Let alone marry her
00:54:36If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:41I think it's time
00:54:44The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:47You wanna go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:56I've let this scam go on long enough
00:54:59It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:02The world
00:55:03Or Dexter
00:55:04This isn't about him
00:55:09He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:13Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:16But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:19Oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:20With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:23Huh?
00:55:26I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:30You're the best, Dad
00:55:39Mrs. Hayes
00:55:49It's so good to see you again
00:55:52How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged?
00:55:56Yes
00:55:57My future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:08She's a musical genius
00:56:10We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:13Of course
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:19Please don't touch that
00:56:26Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Ugh, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:36Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:40I have to ask you to leave
00:56:42Now
00:56:43I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:50I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:56:56We all know money can't buy talent
00:56:59Tell that to Scarlet
00:57:01Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé
00:57:05And creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:10Yeah
00:57:11You're right
00:57:12In that case
00:57:14You should have this
00:57:16Oh my god
00:57:30Oops
00:57:34Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:38Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:43Here it is
00:57:45Here it is
00:57:45Take this woman away
00:57:47Hold on just one second
00:57:48Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my god
00:57:51Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:55You think you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes
00:57:58Okay
00:57:59It's all yours now
00:58:05Scarlet, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:17We'll find a better option
00:58:19Like this one
00:58:26Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:29This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:32The genius producer
00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:36Hey
00:58:36Actually
00:58:36Actually
00:58:37Actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:40In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:44I'm gonna just
00:58:46My apologies
00:58:49My apologies
00:58:50Apologies
00:58:50No, no, no, no, no
00:58:52We saw it first
00:58:53Look, look
00:58:55We just want the one guitar
00:58:56I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:58You can pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:00But it's not gonna stop Scarlet from choking on the stage
00:59:05How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:12That's enough
00:59:18Hi, Dexie
00:59:21Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter
00:59:26She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:29You need to do something
00:59:31Mom
00:59:32Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlet's talent as a producer
00:59:39Is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:47You know what?
00:59:48Actually
00:59:49I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:50I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
00:59:55Please ring up the guitar
00:59:59For Miss Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:01Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:04You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:07How much it costs
01:00:08And I'll pay it
01:00:08Whatever it is
01:00:09Right here and now
01:00:10Miss Reed
01:00:12As the new owner of the store
01:00:14How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:17What?
01:00:21I'm sorry
01:00:22I'm the new owner
01:00:23Consider it a late birthday gift
01:00:27For my former assistant
01:00:28You did this for me
01:00:30You really think I need a music store?
01:00:34Well, I see you'll read records
01:00:36You probably don't know
01:00:37But from someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter!
01:00:43Are you insane?
01:00:45She's not even a real musician
01:00:47And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay
01:00:56Scarlett could have it for free
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:00Casey
01:01:03I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later
01:01:11You will regret this
01:01:15Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:17She's just a pretty face
01:01:20With no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, Mom
01:01:23Hi
01:01:28One
01:01:29I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:31It's Miss Reed
01:01:32And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:34Two
01:01:36My birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:40So your gift means nothing
01:01:43Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53What are you talking about?
01:01:54What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:00No
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:04But not anymore
01:02:09I don't need you
01:02:12Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:26To her collection
01:02:27Yes, sir
01:02:29Oh, one more thing
01:02:32She's fired
01:02:34Yes, sir
01:02:37Thank you
01:02:38Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:41I love you
01:02:42Mr. Hayes
01:02:56Miss Hart
01:02:57You're on in five
01:02:57The broadcast will begin live
01:02:59Thank you
01:03:00Did you hear that?
01:03:03Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:07The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:10I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:15All right, guys
01:03:17It's time
01:03:17Let's go
01:03:18Scarlett
01:03:19You can't start the show without me
01:03:35I knew you'd make it
01:03:40Of course she did
01:03:41Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlett
01:03:46You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:49I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have none
01:03:56Mmm
01:03:57I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:01Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:04Wreck-a-legs, Scarlett
01:04:06Or should I say
01:04:08Echo
01:04:09Don't choke
01:04:11Hope you don't choke
01:04:14The playback's down
01:04:36The track's gone
01:04:38Completely white
01:04:38You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me to her reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:51Now
01:04:52This is bad
01:04:55All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:57We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:04:59And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea
01:05:04You're Echo
01:05:07Right?
01:05:18Yes
01:05:18It's true
01:05:20I'm Echo
01:05:21The award-winning producer
01:05:23And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:26Then prove it
01:05:27Go ahead
01:05:29Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:33Come on
01:05:33You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean
01:05:36This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:40I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:43This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:46I must have another file I can play
01:05:48I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:51Of course
01:05:52Watch me work my magic
01:05:55And that's how it's done
01:06:14Show must go on
01:06:16Nice try
01:06:17Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:23Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:26And can you pan from Stacy's left to stage right real quick?
01:06:31Yeah
01:06:32Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping the...
01:06:44Don't listen to her
01:06:45She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:49And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:53If I didn't know any better
01:06:55I'd think you were trying to sabotage me
01:06:57Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:58Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real
01:07:00Okay, you're...
01:07:01You're Echo
01:07:02No
01:07:02Okay
01:07:03So, just fix the track
01:07:04Yeah
01:07:06Come on, Echo
01:07:08What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:18Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:21You have to fix this
01:07:23I could
01:07:23If I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:28Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:34But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:36Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:38And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:49Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:52It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:53You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:00Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:04I can't let her expose me
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:22Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:37Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:00Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:04Get off the stage!
01:09:06You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:10Alright, look
01:09:11It's done
01:09:14You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:20Yeah, I am
01:09:21That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:25Yeah
01:09:26Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:33That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:36And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:40As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:42Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:53There's no saving the song
01:09:55Now it's over, it's over
01:09:57Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:15No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other
01:10:19Hey!
01:10:20It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:23What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:32Mom, mom, stop
01:10:33You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:42If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:46For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:48And if you don't
01:10:50Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:55Happily
01:10:56Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:08Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:10Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:13Right now
01:11:16Right now
01:11:17I am not the kind for sure
01:11:28This is not a one-time thing
01:11:34Lights are low, but I still will
01:11:38This morning's got a stage
01:11:42Good
01:11:44Now let's make a hit
01:11:48Let's fucking go!
01:11:57Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean, you produced this, right? So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I can't, I don't have but
01:12:21You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:25I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar
01:12:36I am not the kind for sure
01:12:40This is not a one-time thing
01:12:44Stop! Stop it!
01:12:46Casey
01:12:58You're Echo
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed
01:13:03Is Echo?
01:13:05This is my song! She just ripped it off!
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:10Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:14I didn't even make that version
01:13:18I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:21Go fix this
01:13:23Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:28She's the one that saved the song
01:13:34No, that was me!
01:13:36I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit
01:13:38I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:41So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:44You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:46But you're going to have to pay me for it
01:13:48Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:51I think you might just be surprised
01:13:54Two hundred million
01:13:57Two hundred million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:02Are you insane?
01:14:03And I want my name to be credited
01:14:06Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:09And one last thing
01:14:12I want a public apology from Scarlet Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to
01:14:22I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:23And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:25And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:27So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking
01:14:36I was wrong about you
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song
01:14:41I'm sorry
01:14:44And you?
01:14:49Do it
01:14:49Apologize to her
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:52Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything!
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it
01:14:57Tell the world the truth
01:14:58Scarlet
01:14:59Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo
01:15:02I pretended
01:15:03And I never wrote or produced
01:15:04Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:05They are happy!
01:15:10I was wrong about you
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song
01:15:14I'm sorry
01:15:16And you?
01:15:21Do it
01:15:22Apologize to her
01:15:23That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:26She ruined everything
01:15:27She ruined everything
01:15:28Come on, let's hear it
01:15:29Tell the world the truth
01:15:31Scarlet
01:15:31Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo
01:15:34I pretended
01:15:35And I never wrote or produced
01:15:37Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:38They are happy?
01:15:41They are happy?
01:15:44Wait
01:15:45That's not what I really meant
01:15:47Dexter
01:15:48She manipulated me
01:15:50You're still my fiance?
01:15:52You believe-
01:15:52Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see
01:15:55You're fucking flawed
01:15:56And you're a damn liar
01:15:57Casey
01:15:59Is the one
01:16:00Who built my career
01:16:01Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:16:03She's the only one
01:16:06Who ever cared about me
01:16:07Or loved me
01:16:08Our engagement
01:16:10Is off
01:16:11And so is the record
01:16:13Please don't cancel the album
01:16:37The album
01:16:37Terminating your contract
01:16:39And blacklisting you from the industry
01:16:41Two years old
01:16:43You got yourself a deal case
01:16:50Hit it
01:16:59If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where would we belong
01:17:14My back is passed against the wall
01:17:20I need you to know
01:17:23I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire
01:17:29In my veins
01:17:32It's burning from my chains
01:17:36Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:46This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:52But you're not out of this game
01:17:54Love
01:17:55I need you to tell me why
01:17:56With your back of my tongue
01:17:59I need you to tell me
01:18:00I've ever been to you
01:18:01I have never been to you
01:18:01I need you to tell me
01:18:02I need you to tell me
01:18:03I'll hold you
01:18:04I'm not love
01:18:05But you're not about enough
01:18:06I am not about yet
01:18:06You're not about yet
01:18:07I need you to tell me
01:18:08I need you to tell me
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:04You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:21But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:35Percy!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:00You still love him, don't you?
01:20:04Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:10You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:16It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:21Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:07Dexter's sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:21It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully.
01:21:45He'll recover.
01:21:46But for now, all he needs is rest.
01:21:51That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:52Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:12Why?
01:22:21I got you, beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:31Casey, I...
01:22:36I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:50I will be forever grateful.
01:22:58And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:01And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:06No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:10To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:12Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:23That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:40I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:47I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:54And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:57And I...
01:23:58But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:01But I said I loved you, Dexter.
01:24:09I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:13Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:22My pop star.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me.
01:24:31Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:38The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:53You...
01:24:53You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:59I know.
01:25:00But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that stuff.
01:25:08I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:15I don't want to sing or have this career.
01:25:16I don't want to sing or have this career.
01:25:18I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:25Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:34I love you, too.
01:25:50This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:52Then we'd better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:25:59I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:18So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22I love you, too.
01:26:52Imagine a world where we get up.
01:27:06This goes on.
01:27:11Stuff in the stockings.
01:27:13But I am still walking.
01:27:15What's the fool who I hated?
01:27:23Now I'm recreating.
01:27:25Every time I look at the moonfall,
01:27:30I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:35Soon you'll see
01:27:38That it's time for you and me
01:27:43It's the best so far
01:27:48We just let on
01:27:51Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:00Just let on
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:17I'm taking and talking
01:28:19But I will be watching
01:28:21Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:26The mirror in heaven
01:28:28My heart is still beating
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36I imagine the world
01:28:38We're together
01:28:39Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:43Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:47Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:48I'm taking and talking to you
