Short filmTranscript
00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, where that
00:00:25I'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,
00:00:35the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:43We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:01:11How you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:36Because you're already mine.
00:01:40I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:27And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:30His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:35You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:01You are going to be my wife.
00:03:03I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:10I don't know.
00:03:12I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:15I need champagne to space
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show,
00:03:28the world's hottest pop star,
00:03:31and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:45but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us.
00:03:57Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart.
00:04:03Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:05She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:08Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight,
00:04:10she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:13I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:16Hope you enjoy.
00:04:26Shit!
00:04:27The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:29I can't let Dex's show get ruined!
00:04:32Echo can fix this!
00:04:36Are you here?
00:04:37I need your help.
00:04:40What the hell is she up to?
00:04:45Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:50I'll be right back.
00:04:55There.
00:04:56Your gear from the studio!
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad!
00:05:00We've talked about this.
00:05:02In public, I am not your daughter.
00:05:04And I'm not Echo.
00:05:05But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:08You made him the star he is.
00:05:11I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:13But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:17Thanks.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh, my God.
00:05:44These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:47Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:58Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01Play that song!
00:06:03God, where's Casey?
00:06:04She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:06The show is a disaster.
00:06:07The fans are waiting.
00:06:08Can you please find her?
00:06:09I need her.
00:06:09No, Dexter.
00:06:12I'm the one you need.
00:06:13What?
00:06:22Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:33Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:47Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:58Casey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:02Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:04I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:17I'm so sorry.
00:07:18Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:20Uh, and we're back.
00:07:22Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38The next big single is coming to you in 3, 2, 1.
00:08:05Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you write.
00:08:11One thing to remember you buy, the time I looked into your eye.
00:08:17The secret feel in the gate, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:28Ooh, ooh!
00:08:34Ooh!
00:08:38Ooh, ooh!
00:08:39Ooh, ooh!
00:08:40Ooh, ooh!
00:08:46Ooh!
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:38I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:52Oh my god!
00:09:54Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:58Yes!
00:10:03Oh my god!
00:10:05Dexie!
00:10:06Yes!
00:10:08Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:12I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:17No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:27It was all a lie.
00:10:30Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:38What?
00:10:39What?
00:10:40What?
00:10:44What?
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and
00:11:06put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09What?
00:11:09Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:12I gave you everything.
00:11:16I loved you.
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her.
00:11:21Oh.
00:11:21Okay?
00:11:22I owe her, alright?
00:11:23I don't...
00:11:24You owe her?
00:11:26Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:30What has she ever done for you?
00:11:32Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:34She made me who I am today.
00:11:36Okay?
00:11:37So, so, so that's why.
00:11:39What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:50You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is.
00:11:56You know what?
00:11:56I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:01And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:07Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:11You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:15Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:24He could have had that with me.
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:30Isn't it?
00:12:34Not loyalty.
00:12:36Just...
00:12:37Your music.
00:12:39What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:44This...
00:12:44Is my notebook.
00:12:46Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:51That's my notebook.
00:12:52How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:55I'm a musical genius.
00:12:57And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:01Ow!
00:13:02Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:04See what has gotten into you?
00:13:06I don't...
00:13:07I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:09Dexie, baby.
00:13:11I know all about girls like her.
00:13:14They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:17She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:20She has been for years.
00:13:22Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:27Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:28Okay?
00:13:29Well, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:34But wait in the car.
00:13:35Please.
00:13:40Please.
00:13:40But, Casey.
00:13:45Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:48So, please just...
00:13:50Just tell me the truth.
00:13:51Okay, right now.
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:57Please.
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:19We're over.
00:14:22Dex.
00:14:25Goodbye.
00:14:26Forever.
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:51Dexter Hayes popped a question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:14:57Did I leave?
00:15:02Dad.
00:15:04I gave Dex everything.
00:15:06I made his career but...
00:15:08He doesn't want me.
00:15:09He never did.
00:15:11What happened princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Hart.
00:15:14She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:19I'll come get you.
00:15:35It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:38Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:43Who are you?
00:15:45Let me go.
00:15:46Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:47We won't hurt you.
00:15:48We're your friends, too.
00:15:51We'd always ship Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:58We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:02You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:08We were in love.
00:16:09Or I thought we were.
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:24Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room.
00:16:30Come alone.
00:16:32Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:35Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:40You've reached Casey.
00:16:41I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:44Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:48Casey?
00:16:49So she never left a concert.
00:16:50Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:54Dexter is coming.
00:16:55We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:58You psychos!
00:17:01Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:06Obviously not.
00:17:07She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:11You fucked him, too?
00:17:14God.
00:17:14Our precious Dexter.
00:17:17Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:19Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:22You don't deserve to live.
00:17:24No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:27So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:32That's not true.
00:17:33First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:37You're psychotic.
00:17:38Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:40If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:44single on our new album.
00:17:47You're crazier than they are.
00:17:49Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:56Dexter!
00:18:03Casey!
00:18:04Dexter!
00:18:05Dexter!
00:18:05Dexter!
00:18:06Dexter!
00:18:07Dexter!
00:18:07Dexter!
00:18:08Dexter!
00:18:08Dexter, help me!
00:18:08They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:13Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:18We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:20We're your biggest fans.
00:18:22We're doing this for you.
00:18:25Okay, well, if you love me, alright, you'll put the gun down and you'll let these two go, please.
00:18:30No, that's not how this works.
00:18:33Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:36We're engaged now, you can't let me die.
00:18:40Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:46mean anything?
00:18:47You must choose one to live.
00:18:50Will it be your future wife?
00:18:53Or your mistress?
00:18:55Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:59They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:02I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:15You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:19And you loved him?
00:19:21You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:24If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:28Choose now or they both die.
00:19:30Dexter, Dexter, please, think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:35You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me.
00:19:39That's enough, we're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:49Scarlet, alright?
00:19:50I choose Scarlet.
00:19:56Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:58I was so scared.
00:20:00He chose Scarlet?
00:20:02Good choice.
00:20:03Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:05Now, wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:07You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:10Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:13And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:23I guess this is the end.
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:35Put the gun down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:38Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:50Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:52Oh, come on.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:54Alright.
00:20:59It's gonna be okay.
00:21:02You left me to die.
00:21:04And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:07I was right to walk away.
00:21:09Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:13Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:21Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey, Casey.
00:21:28Hey.
00:21:37Casey, stop.
00:21:39Please, stop.
00:21:39Please, please.
00:21:40Where are you gonna go?
00:21:41Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:43You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:47Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:49You're delusional.
00:21:51He doesn't need you.
00:21:52He has Echo.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:55Sure he does.
00:21:56Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:02Fame changed me.
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:07Then what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:12I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:19You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:22No.
00:22:23Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god.
00:22:50That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:55So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:00You're here now.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:12We took a million, but we're here for you.
00:23:16No, I shouldn't be you.
00:23:17I was trying to have everything you could ever wanted.
00:23:22Who am I?
00:23:23I was trying to...
00:23:24No.
00:23:25I was trying to...
00:23:25That's what you want.
00:23:31Casey!
00:23:35Casey!
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:38Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlet.
00:23:45Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:49And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:53I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:56She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:59Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:04Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:06She's been lying to you this entire time. All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:12I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:14But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:23Forget him, Princess.
00:24:25You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:41Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:56My back is pressed.
00:25:05My back is pressed.
00:25:12No, no!
00:25:15Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look, guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:28The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:33You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:36Hmm?
00:25:37What's going on?
00:25:39Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:41Are you...
00:25:42really...
00:25:43Echo?
00:25:47Are you...
00:25:48really...
00:25:49Echo?
00:25:51Dexy...
00:25:53Of course I am.
00:25:55It's just...
00:25:57Your new assistant.
00:25:58He's been messing...
00:25:59He's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:03I mean, look.
00:26:07Last saved by Max.
00:26:09Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:11Okay, you know what?
00:26:12Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:16Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:19It's Dexter.
00:26:20And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screwed me over like that.
00:26:25You're fired.
00:26:33See it again.
00:26:49Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:08We're sorry.
00:27:10You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:14All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:18So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got.
00:27:39An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:43The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:53Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:54Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:56Dexter.
00:27:57You said it yourself.
00:27:59They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:00We have to go.
00:28:02This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:07Okay.
00:28:08Look.
00:28:09I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:13He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:15I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:20a few extra bucks.
00:28:21You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:24He could make or break our careers.
00:28:27Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am.
00:28:32We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:35So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:40I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:43Her coarse, tangled hair or her dull, crusty skin or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:57I'm Echo.
00:28:59I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:01And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:12How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:17We're honored.
00:29:18And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:22Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:27I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed worship.
00:29:33Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:35Who is this mysterious Harris?
00:29:38She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:40I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:43Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:45She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:47Look!
00:29:48Here she is now!
00:29:59No fucking way!
00:30:03END
00:30:032
00:30:032
00:30:033
00:30:031
00:30:031
00:30:032
00:30:202
00:30:212
00:30:253
00:30:253
00:30:262
00:30:293
00:30:30Casey hey Dex long time no see
00:30:36Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking away from him. So why does my heart
00:30:44still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her and instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO
00:31:07You should listen to her Dexter
00:31:09All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one
00:31:14She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:20hit
00:31:37Scarlet what a terrible surprise. I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:42But this party is for the elite of the music industry only I suggest you wait on the street corner
00:31:47with the other hookers
00:31:49But the party's just getting started. I I can't miss the big announcement
00:31:56Why so you can seduce the new CEO of read records, too? I
00:32:01Hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed. So don't expect him to look at you twice and don't distract
00:32:07Dexter tonight
00:32:08Leave or I will have security escort you out. I'd love to see you try
00:32:17Jealous I loved him and those feelings don't just go away
00:32:21How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:25You can dress up all you want
00:32:29But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl. I thought she was someone important
00:32:36She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart. I would never emotionally recover. Where do you think she got the jewels
00:32:46though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:53Hmm. I got that right. Hmm
00:32:57Is that so tell me something scarlet is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you how dare you?
00:33:12Careful the new CEO might be watching
00:33:17You think you're hot shit just because you're the real echo
00:33:19You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make and pay
00:33:25-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:26But me I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:30And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again
00:33:34I will get you canceled so fucking hard your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:41Mr. Reed hi Dexter Hayes
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:46You've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:49Well, I would really love to put that um
00:33:52Well that incident with my assistant behind us
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can
00:33:58Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:02When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:06And the heiress to the Reed records fortune
00:34:09Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about the record that scarlet heart and
00:34:14I are working on
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and well her producing
00:34:20You're a musical genius over the last many decades. I think we could really make something special
00:34:25Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:28And you know, if it's not too much it actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the
00:34:35The new ceo. I well that would make me forever forever grateful
00:34:40Why don't you put in a good word yourself the new ceo is already here
00:34:56case case case case
00:35:03Uh, I've been trying to call you the last few days and well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead
00:35:09you just showed up here
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone for wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:20Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:23What you missed me already did ed reed bring casey as his date
00:35:28This event is invite only
00:35:34Yeah
00:35:35Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:39You know scarlet on the other hand though has been throwing around nothing but
00:35:44vile slander and empty accusations all night if anyone needs to go it should be her
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to dexter right here right now
00:35:54Yeah, right the only ones who can remove me are mr. Reed himself or the new ceo you have no
00:36:01power here

00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name

00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:45But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay? If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:51Explain what, Dexter? Why you want me back? After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that's not why I'm here. If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey. I mean, you gotta understand. You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:11I lied?
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen. You have to believe me, please. I was just trying to...
00:40:23Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay? I guess, why are you here? Are you here just...
00:40:28Is this just some royal way to get revenge? Tank my career?
00:40:33Oh, Tank your career. I made his career. I loved you, Dexter. You might have found out who my father
00:40:43is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:45Wait.
00:40:50This... This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it? Why you left me for dead.
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad, threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans...
00:41:06No, no, no. Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:21Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:32Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
00:41:40You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:46not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:49Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter. She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no
00:42:01real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo. She can produce new songs. Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her. She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:14Okay, Mom, Mom, stop. You're my mom, not my manager, all right? I'm done talking about this.
00:42:41I've known you for years. I thought you'd stay sane.
00:42:51I've known you for years. I've known you for years. I've known you for years. It's been a twine. Lost
00:43:07in time. I'm still missing you.
00:43:13I'm still
00:43:15I'm still
00:43:17I'm still missing you
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:31We're entwined
00:43:34Heart and mind
00:43:36I'm still missing you
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:48You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:55Casey's wrong about me
00:43:56I never gave up on us
00:43:57She's got another truth
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex
00:44:10Fine
00:44:12But let's not talk
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:35Not anymore
00:44:37I'm your former boss now
00:44:39In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:46I don't give a fuck
00:44:47About the contract
00:44:48I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:50I just want you
00:44:51And I know that you want me too
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:57What we had
00:44:59I've been trying to
00:45:01But being this close again
00:45:02It feels
00:45:05Impossible
00:45:05You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:08But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:16I don't care
00:45:17About the fans
00:45:18I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:20I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:22If you tell me
00:45:23That you want to be with me
00:45:26We'll be together
00:45:31We can tease each other all day
00:45:35Until you finally admit
00:45:37That you
00:45:39Still
00:45:40Love me
00:46:04You're right
00:46:04I am like an instrument
00:46:06The way I let you play me
00:46:08After what you did
00:46:09Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you
00:46:14I do not want to be with Scala
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:20Thank you
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:22Hold on
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag
00:46:27A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:30I mean
00:46:31We have a Dexter Hayes size hold to fill
00:46:34And he could be the next big thing
00:46:35It's not safe
00:46:36Casey
00:46:36You don't need him
00:46:38He'll hurt you
00:46:39No, no, no, no, no
00:46:39I don't think you
00:46:41Of all people
00:46:42Get to tell me what I need
00:46:44Casey
00:46:45Casey
00:46:46Casey
00:46:46Casey has every right
00:46:50To be angry with me
00:46:51After what I did
00:46:51I have to prove
00:46:53She can trust me again
00:47:01Oh
00:47:02Oh
00:47:06Perfect timing
00:47:06Make yourself comfortable
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me
00:47:09On self-short notice
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:11Women who speak too much
00:47:14I've made an exception for you
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:19I don't know what that means
00:47:21But
00:47:23You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:28Well
00:47:30I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:33Actually
00:47:34I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:36So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:39Of course
00:47:40Of course
00:47:41But
00:47:43You're not in a hurry
00:47:44Why don't we toast first
00:47:45To this potential partnership
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:07I do love straight vodka
00:48:14But you know what I
00:48:17Actually
00:48:19Love even more than that
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:25Asshole pervs
00:48:26My hair
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think you can drug me?
00:48:31And then what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:34Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:37Not so fast
00:48:39You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:40And demand a live performance
00:48:41From the Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely
00:48:46And a fraud
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:53No matter how talented you are
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me
00:48:58Not when I can read records
00:48:59Or myself
00:49:03Don't be shy Casey
00:49:04I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:05The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:07To see my new mistress
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos
00:49:09All over the tabloids
00:49:11Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:13How you slept your way to the top
00:49:16Your poor father
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:19But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:22You're delusional
00:49:24Stay away from me
00:49:25You're fine
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha
00:49:27Hey
00:49:30I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:32I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:34Are you okay?
00:49:37I'm fine
00:49:42I'm fine
00:49:42What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:44I could sue you for that
00:49:46I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:48You're just a wash up addict
00:49:50And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:52Okay?
00:49:57Okay I'm sorry
00:49:58Jesus
00:50:00We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:02You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:06I mean what the fuck
00:50:09Her name
00:50:10Is Casey Reed
00:50:12And she's the future
00:50:13Of the industry
00:50:14That you want so badly
00:50:16Fucking in
00:50:17Your career is dead
00:50:19Sasha
00:50:19I'm not sure of that
00:50:22Let's go
00:50:30Let's go
00:50:34Give me your hand
00:50:42Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:44Sasha Silver is literally
00:50:45My business
00:50:46Is none of your concern
00:50:48If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:49What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you
00:50:54Yes
00:50:54You could have done
00:50:54Okay
00:50:55I know
00:50:57Newsflash
00:50:57I'm not your assistant
00:50:59Anymore
00:51:00So
00:51:01It's not your concern
00:51:02Where I am
00:51:03Or what I'm doing
00:51:04Okay
00:51:04So stop
00:51:07Following me
00:51:12The car is still fucking good
00:51:15I'll stop following you
00:51:16The minute that you
00:51:18Stop making stupid
00:51:19Fucking decisions
00:51:21And when I've made up for all the danger
00:51:23I'd put her in
00:51:27You're way
00:51:29Too interested
00:51:30In my personal life
00:51:32Dex
00:51:33Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:42I did not
00:51:43Want to marry
00:51:45Scarlet
00:51:47You don't fight him with
00:51:48And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:02So
00:52:04What am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:09And be
00:52:09The pop star's
00:52:11Secret side piece again
00:52:15I should push him away
00:52:17But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:19You were never the side piece
00:52:23And you know it
00:52:33Boss
00:52:34I have news
00:52:36Thank you for your help today
00:52:39Dexter
00:52:42Please stop following me
00:52:46Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:59Great timing
00:53:00Great timing
00:53:01As always
00:53:02Why are you even here?
00:53:04Done what you asked
00:53:04News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:08No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:11His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:13Good
00:53:14Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:18I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:25I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:26Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:28Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:31But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha
00:53:35There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:38All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:42He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:43Cancelled
00:53:44Who took him down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes
00:53:52He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:55He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:57Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:59Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:02For me?
00:54:03Maybe
00:54:04He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:06Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:14The world-famous music producer, Echo
00:54:16Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:18At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:24She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:26Before it can expose her lies
00:54:28She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:30Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:34Much less produce a hit track
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:38She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone
00:54:41Marry her
00:54:42If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:44I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:49I think it's time
00:54:50The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:57You wanna go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:00They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:02I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:05It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:08The world
00:55:08Or Dexter
00:55:13This isn't about him
00:55:17He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:19Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:23But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:24Oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:27With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:39You're the best, Dad
00:55:45Mrs. Hayes!
00:55:55It's so good to see you again
00:55:59How's Dexter?
00:56:00Engaged
00:56:01Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:07And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:10So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:13She's a musical genius
00:56:15We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:18Of course
00:56:19I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:21A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:30Please don't touch that
00:56:31Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:35Ugh, it's you
00:56:37Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:43You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:46I have to ask you to leave
00:56:47Now
00:56:52I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:56I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:59Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:57:01We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:05Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:06Excuse me?
00:57:08I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator
00:57:12And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:15Yeah
00:57:16You're right
00:57:18In that case
00:57:19You should have this
00:57:28No!
00:57:33Oh my god!
00:57:35What?
00:57:39Oops
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands
00:57:42My bad
00:57:45Are you insane?
00:57:47You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:50Here it is!
00:57:51Take this woman away!
00:57:52Hold on just one second
00:57:54To Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh my god!
00:57:59I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:01You think you set up for me?
00:58:02Yes!
00:58:02Of course Mr. Hayes!
00:58:04Thank you
00:58:07Just kidding
00:58:09It's all yours now
00:58:18Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:23We'll find a better option
00:58:30Like this one
00:58:31Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:34This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:37The genius producer
00:58:39Hey hey hey hey
00:58:41Actually
00:58:42Actually
00:58:43This guitar is no longer available
00:58:45In fact my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:50I'm gonna just
00:58:53My apologies
00:58:54My apologies
00:58:55Apologies
00:58:56No no no no no no
00:58:57We saw it first
00:58:59Look look
00:59:00We just want the one guitar
00:59:01I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:59:04You can pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:06But it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage
00:59:13How dare you
00:59:15You little bitch
00:59:22That's enough
00:59:25Hi Dexie
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter
00:59:31She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:34You need to do something
00:59:36Mom
00:59:37Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:40About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:44Is the reason you're as famous as you are
00:59:47Dexter
00:59:48The least you could do
00:59:50Is show her a little respect
00:59:53You know what actually
00:59:54I'm sorry you're right
00:59:56I should show respect to
00:59:58The one person who's always been there for me
01:00:03Please ring up the guitar
01:00:04For Miss Hunt
01:00:05I knew you would support me
01:00:06Mr. Hayes
01:00:08Mr. Hayes
01:00:08It's not for sale
01:00:09You know why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:12How much it costs
01:00:13And I'll pay it
01:00:14Whatever it is
01:00:14Right here and now
01:00:16Miss Reed
01:00:18As the new owner of the store
01:00:19How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:22Wait what?
01:00:23What?
01:00:26I'm sorry I'm the new owner
01:00:30Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:32For my former assistant
01:00:33You did this for me
01:00:36You really think I need a music store?
01:00:39Well as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:41You probably don't know
01:00:42But I'm someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:45Why the hell not?
01:00:47Dexter!
01:00:48Are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even a real musician
01:00:52And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:00Oh it's okay
01:01:01Scarlett can have it for free
01:01:02As long as she shows us the big hit that
01:01:05She's working on me
01:01:08Casey
01:01:09I am not stooping to your level
01:01:11And besides
01:01:12We're late for hair and makeup
01:01:14I will talk to you about this later
01:01:18You will regret this
01:01:20Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:23She's just a pretty face
01:01:25With no talent to back it up
01:01:27Thanks mom
01:01:33One
01:01:34I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:36It's Miss Reed
01:01:38And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:40Two
01:01:41My birthday was months ago
01:01:43Actually the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:46So your gift means nothing
01:01:50Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Secret?
01:01:58What are you talking about?
01:01:59What secret?
01:02:03Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:05No
01:02:06That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:13But not anymore
01:02:16I don't need you
01:02:27Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection
01:02:33Yes sir
01:02:36Oh one more thing
01:02:38She's fired
01:02:41Yes sir
01:02:42Thank you
01:02:45But Dexter you can't do this
01:02:46I love you
01:03:00Mr. Hayes
01:03:01Ms. Hart
01:03:02You're on M5
01:03:02The broadcast will begin live
01:03:04Thank you
01:03:07Did you hear that?
01:03:08Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:11It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:12The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:15I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:21Alright guys
01:03:22It's time
01:03:22Let's go
01:03:24Scarlett
01:03:38You can't start the show without me
01:03:44I knew you'd make it
01:03:45Of course she did
01:03:46Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlett
01:03:51You know I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:54I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:59When you yourself have none
01:04:02I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:07Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:10Wreck-a-like Scarlett
01:04:12Or should I say
01:04:13Echo
01:04:15Don't choke
01:04:18Hope you don't choke
01:04:40The playback's down
01:04:41The track's gone completely white
01:04:44You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make that version
01:04:51I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:04:55Go fix this
01:04:56Now
01:04:59This is bad
01:05:00Alright, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:05:02We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:04And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:07I have an idea
01:05:09You're Echo, right?
01:05:22Yes
01:05:23It's true
01:05:25I'm Echo
01:05:26The award-winning producer
01:05:28And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:31Then prove it
01:05:33Go ahead
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean
01:05:41This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:43I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:46I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:49This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:51I must have another file I can play
01:05:53I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:56Of course
01:05:58Watch me work my magic
01:06:17And that's how it's done
01:06:19She'll must go on
01:06:21Nice try
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:24You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:27Okay, can you boost the treble?
01:06:29On the EQ in the middle
01:06:30And can you hand from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah
01:06:42Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping the...
01:06:49Don't listen to her
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:58If I didn't know any better
01:06:59I think you were trying to sabotage me
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet
01:07:03Why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real
01:07:04Okay, you're...
01:07:05You're Echo
01:07:06Okay, so just fix the track
01:07:10Yeah
01:07:11Ah, come on Echo
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:22Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:25You have to fix this
01:07:27I could, if I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:30Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:33Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:38But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:40Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:43And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:45Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:53Record some mini-inchments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:56It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:59You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:08I can't let her expose me
01:08:10Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:01Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:08Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:14Alright, look
01:09:17It's done
01:09:19You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am
01:09:25That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:30Yeah
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:38That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:41And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:44As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:49Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:52Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:55Mom
01:09:56You heard the track, okay?
01:09:58There's no saving the song
01:09:59Now it's over
01:10:00It's over
01:10:15Well
01:10:16I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:20No, no
01:10:21There's no, there's, there's no other
01:10:23Hey, it's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, mom, stop
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:41I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:46If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:50For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:53And if you don't?
01:10:55Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:59Happily
01:11:03Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave
01:11:08It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:12Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:15Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:19I know
01:11:20I know
01:11:27I am not the kind for a show
01:11:34This is not a one-time thing
01:11:38Lights are low, but I still will
01:11:42This morning's got a sting
01:11:46Good
01:11:50Now let's make a hit
01:11:59Let's fucking go
01:12:01Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:21So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23I can't, I don't have much
01:12:25You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:29I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:35Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:37That sound, it's familiar
01:12:40I'm not the kind for a show
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing
01:12:48Stop! Stop it!
01:13:01You are Echo
01:13:04You are Echo
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:09This is my song!
01:13:11She just ripped it off!
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:14Don't listen to her!
01:13:17I'm Echo!
01:13:20I didn't even make that version
01:13:22I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:24To send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:25Go fix this
01:13:30Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:36She's the one that saved the song
01:13:37No, that was me!
01:13:39I already did all the work
01:13:40She's just taking the credit
01:13:42I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:45So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:48You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:50But you're going to have to pay me for it
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:56I think you might just be surprised
01:13:59$200 million
01:14:01$200 million?
01:14:03For one song?
01:14:04That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:07And I want my name to be credited
01:14:12Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:14And one last thing
01:14:16I want a public apology
01:14:18From Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:21That's ridiculous!
01:14:22Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean, you don't have to
01:14:26I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:27And then Scarlett could finish the album
01:14:29And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:31So, what will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking
01:14:41I was wrong about you
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song
01:14:47I'm sorry
01:14:50And you?
01:14:52Do it
01:14:53Apologize to her
01:14:54That bitch!
01:14:56Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything
01:14:59Come on, let's hear it
01:15:01Tell the world the truth
01:15:02Scarlett
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo
01:15:05I pretended
01:15:06And I never wrote
01:15:07Or produced
01:15:08Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:09They are happy?
01:15:12They are happy?
01:15:16Wait
01:15:16That's not what I really meant
01:15:19Dexter
01:15:20She manipulated me
01:15:22You're still my fiance
01:15:22You believe
01:15:23Scarlett, you are exactly
01:15:25What we all see
01:15:26You fucking thought
01:15:27And you're a damn liar
01:15:30Casey
01:15:30Is the one
01:15:31Who built my career
01:15:32Hell, she's the one
01:15:33Who saved the damn song
01:15:35She's the only one
01:15:37Who ever cared about me
01:15:38Or loved me
01:15:41Our engagement
01:15:42Is off
01:15:42And so is the record
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album
01:16:08The album
01:16:09Terminating your contract
01:16:11And blacklisting you from the industry
01:16:12The story is over
01:16:19You got yourself a D.O. case
01:16:29Hit it
01:16:35If we're not here for long
01:16:40Tell me where would we belong
01:16:46My back is pressed against the wall
01:16:51I need you to know
01:16:54I need you to know
01:16:54I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57Your name's on fire
01:17:00In my wings
01:17:03It's burning for my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me
01:17:11Who are you to tell me why
01:17:14Who am I to live a lie
01:17:19This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:22We're not here for long
01:17:25But none of them can burn
01:17:47But none of them can burn
01:18:03Who are you to tell me
01:18:22The whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:18:46Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way.
01:19:05That won't happen again.
01:19:07Perse!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
01:19:20Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:22Oh my god!
01:19:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:30You've been here all night.
01:19:33You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:39As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:19:42You know, if you say so, but...
01:19:44Have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now.
01:19:50Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:54Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:09Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:12I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:06It was a close call.
01:21:07One centimeter to the right, he could have punctured his lung.
01:21:11If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:18But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:22That's it.
01:21:29What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:33How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:37If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:21:42Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52My God, you're beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:06Casey, I...
01:22:11I miss you.
01:22:13I miss him too.
01:22:15But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:20You saved my life, and...
01:22:25I will be forever grateful.
01:22:30And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:33And, um...
01:22:33We can go our separate ways.
01:22:35We can end on a high note.
01:22:36No!
01:22:37No!
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet...
01:23:12I only did it because I had to.
01:23:14They forced you to choose her.
01:23:16I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:19I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:22I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:24And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:23:44Me neither.
01:23:49You're my little muse.
01:23:54My pop star.
01:23:59Which...
01:24:00Reminds me...
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline The Wildlife Festival.
01:24:09The Wildlife Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:14You saved their CEO.
01:24:15You deserve it.
01:24:16You're the reason I sing.
01:24:19You're the reason I live.
01:24:20I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:23You...
01:24:25You're my world, Casey.
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:24:32But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:35I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:39stuff.
01:24:40I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:24:42I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:24:45That's all I need.
01:24:48You do it together.
01:24:54I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:24:57Okay.
01:25:00I want us to do this together.
01:25:04I love you.
01:25:07I love you too.
01:25:21This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:26Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:30Yes, ma'am.
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:25:49my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:19Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where together.
01:26:38This goes on.
01:26:41The stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking and you're all through.
01:26:51Was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreating.
01:26:57Every time I look at the moon fall, I dream of the night that's lost forever.
01:27:06Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:14Just a little.
01:27:19Just a little.
01:27:22Just a little.
01:27:25Just a little.
01:27:25And every time I look in your eyes.
01:27:29I forget where I am just a little.
01:27:33Yeah, I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah
01:27:48Didn't get a dark end, but I will be watching
01:27:57Yeah, the mirror in heaven
01:28:00My heart is open
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07I imagine a world where we're together
