00:00:00The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:00:08No one knows I'm Echo, the world-famous music producer,
00:00:12because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have,
00:00:15Dexter Hayes, the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:19He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:00:23Oh my god, Dexy!
00:00:25Yes!
00:00:26It was all a lie.
00:00:28I owe her.
00:00:29These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:00:32This is Echo's number?
00:00:33She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:00:37I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:00:40Goodbye.
00:00:41I'm Echo, and I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:00:45Dexter was gonna be mine.
00:00:47I was gonna be the biggest rock star in the world.
00:00:50Casey, I still miss you.
00:00:52Forget where I am.
00:00:55Just a little.
00:01:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:01:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records.
00:01:21The billion-dollar music empire.
00:01:23Or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:01:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have.
00:01:33Dexter Hayes.
00:01:34The rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:01:37I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:01:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:01:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:49No!
00:01:53No!
00:01:54No!
00:01:55No!
00:01:59Dex, we're backstage.
00:02:01Someone might see us.
00:02:05I am so done hiding you.
00:02:08I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:02:10How you make me feel.
00:02:11You are my favorite song.
00:02:20I lose control.
00:02:22My little...
00:02:26I want you, Dex.
00:02:29I need you.
00:02:33Good.
00:02:35And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:02:41I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:02:44And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.

00:10:32He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:10:34To announce our relationship
00:10:36I loved her
00:10:38And she betrayed me
00:10:50Oh my god!
00:10:52Dexie!
00:10:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:57Yes!
00:11:01Oh my god, Dexie!
00:11:04Yes!
00:11:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:11:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:11:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:11:18But she made my career
00:11:20And Casey betrayed me
00:11:25It was all a lie
00:11:29All right
00:11:29I can play along with his engagement
00:11:32And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:11:43Hey, uh, Casey
00:11:55You promised me
00:11:58That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:12:00But instead
00:12:02You propose
00:12:03And put a ring
00:12:05On Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:12:07Casey
00:12:08You gave me no choice
00:12:10I gave you everything
00:12:14I loved you
00:12:15Do you love her?
00:12:18I owe her
00:12:19Okay?
00:12:20I owe her
00:12:21All right?
00:12:22I don't
00:12:22You owe her?
00:12:25Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:12:28What has she ever done for you?
00:12:30Scarlet produced my career
00:12:32She made me who I am today
00:12:34Okay?
00:12:35So that's why
00:12:37What are you talking about?
00:12:41Scarlet is Echo
00:12:48You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:12:52Well, I know she is
00:12:53You know what?
00:12:55I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:58And I feel like this is a good start
00:13:03How could you believe her lies?
00:13:05Come on
00:13:06All you do is lie
00:13:09You know
00:13:10I don't even know who you are anymore
00:13:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:13:15To be
00:13:15A music industry power couple?
00:13:19To please your adoring fans
00:13:21To boost your sales?
00:13:23He could have had that with me
00:13:25This is all you ever really cared about
00:13:29Isn't it?
00:13:31Not loyalty
00:13:33Just
00:13:34Your music
00:13:37What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:13:39Hmm?
00:13:41This
00:13:42Is my notebook
00:13:44Full of songs that I wrote
00:13:46For Dexter's first little platinum album
00:13:49That's my notebook
00:13:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:13:53I'm a musical genius
00:13:55And you're just
00:13:57Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:59Give it back
00:14:00Ow!
00:14:00Dexter, she cut me
00:14:02See what has gotten into you?
00:14:04I don't
00:14:05I don't know who you are anymore
00:14:07Dexy, baby
00:14:09I know
00:14:10All about girls like her
00:14:12They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:14:15She's taking advantage of you
00:14:18She has been for years
00:14:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:14:23Scarlet is not Echo
00:14:25Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:14:26Okay?
00:14:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:14:32Go wait in the car
00:14:32Please
00:14:38Casey
00:14:44Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:14:46So, please just
00:14:47Just tell me the truth
00:14:49Okay, right now
00:14:50Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:55Please
00:14:59Please
00:15:08The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:15:10You don't trust me anyway
00:15:16We're over
00:15:18Dex
00:15:22Goodbye
00:15:23Forever
00:15:44The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:15:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:59Dad
00:16:01I gave Dex everything
00:16:03I made his career, but
00:16:06He doesn't want me
00:16:07He never did
00:16:08What happened, Princess?
00:16:11Scarlet Hart
00:16:12She stole him
00:16:14And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:16:16I'll come get you
00:16:22Casey
00:16:22Casey, where are you?
00:16:33Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:16:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:16:41Who are you?
00:16:42Let me go
00:16:43Don't worry, Scarlet
00:16:45We won't hurt you
00:16:46We're your friends, too
00:16:48We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:16:51We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:16:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:59You're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:17:03I wasn't stealing him
00:17:05I wasn't stealing him
00:17:06We were in love
00:17:07Or I thought we were
00:17:10We'll see about that, won't we?
00:17:12The only way you'll live tonight
00:17:16Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:17:22Where the hell is everybody?
00:17:27Dressing room
00:17:28Come alone
00:17:29Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:17:31And we'll spare them
00:17:33Choose your little assistant
00:17:35And they both die
00:17:37You've reached Casey
00:17:39I can't come to the phone right now
00:17:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:17:45Casey?
00:17:47So she never left a concert
00:17:48Get back to the concert hall now
00:17:51Dexter is coming
00:17:53We'll see who his true love is
00:17:56You psychos
00:17:58Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancΓ©e?
00:18:03Obviously not
00:18:05She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:18:09You fucked him, too?
00:18:10God, our precious Dexter
00:18:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:18:17Girls like you don't deserve him
00:18:19You don't deserve to live
00:18:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:18:24So, if Casey dies
00:18:27Then the truth dies with her
00:18:29That's not true
00:18:31First you steal my identity
00:18:33Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:18:34You're psychotic
00:18:36Oh, don't worry, Casey
00:18:37If you die today
00:18:39Dex and I will make a song about you
00:18:41And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:18:45You're crazier than they are
00:18:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:18:53Casey
00:18:53Dexter
00:19:02Dexter
00:19:02Dexter
00:19:04Dexter, Dexter, help me
00:19:06They hit me
00:19:06And then they tied me up
00:19:08And now they're trying to kill me
00:19:11Okay, guys, let's
00:19:13Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:19:15We can't do that, Dexter
00:19:18We're your biggest fans
00:19:20We're doing this for you
00:19:22Okay, well, if you love me
00:19:24Alright
00:19:25You'll put the gun down
00:19:26And then let these two go, please
00:19:28No, that's not how this works
00:19:30Dexie
00:19:31You would be nothing without Echo
00:19:34We're engaged now
00:19:35You can't let me die
00:19:37Dex
00:19:38All the love we ever had
00:19:39All the memories
00:19:41All the I love yous you told me
00:19:43Did they mean anything?
00:19:45You must choose one to live
00:19:47Will it be your future wife?
00:19:51Or your mistress?
00:19:53Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:57They said if I don't choose Scarlet
00:19:58Then they both die
00:20:00I can save Casey
00:20:01But I
00:20:01I have to break her heart
00:20:04Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:20:13You never really loved me, did you?
00:20:16And you loved him?
00:20:18You leeched off him for half a decade
00:20:21If that's what you really think, Dex
00:20:23Go ahead
00:20:24Make your choice
00:20:25Choose now or they both die, Dexter
00:20:28Dexter
00:20:29Dexter, please
00:20:30Think of everything I've done for you

00:20:33You chose me
00:20:34Don't let them murder me
00:20:36That's email

00:20:59Good choice
00:21:00Cheating whores deserve to die
00:21:03Now wait a minute

00:21:10And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece

00:21:27Goodbye, Dexter

00:22:01And for the record
00:22:02I never needed your money
00:22:04I was right to walk away
00:22:06Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:22:10Look, Casey
00:22:11You don't understand, alright?
00:22:12They were gonna make me
00:22:13I'm done
00:22:16Living in your shadow decks
00:22:18Goodbye
00:22:24Casey
00:22:24Casey
00:22:25Hey
00:22:33Casey
00:22:34Casey, stop
00:22:35Please, stop
00:22:36Please, please
00:22:37We're gonna go
00:22:38Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:22:40You should be asking yourself that same question
00:22:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:22:46You're delusional
00:22:47He doesn't need you
00:22:49He has Echo
00:22:50Well, yeah
00:22:52Sure he does
00:22:53Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:22:59Fame changed me?
00:23:02Okay
00:23:03And what about you?
00:23:05You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:23:09I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:23:15You chose her and you left me for dead
00:23:19No, Casey, you don't understand
00:23:21I was trying to
00:23:46Oh my god, that's
00:23:47That's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:23:52So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:57You're here now.
00:23:58Takes me home.
00:24:17You have everything you wanted.
00:24:18You have everything you wanted.
00:24:19You have everything you wanted.
00:24:20I was trying to say.
00:24:22Kaysay!
00:24:29Kaysay!
00:24:30I can kill.
00:24:31You have everything.
00:24:33Kaysay!
00:24:34Kaysay!
00:24:36Let me explain!
00:24:41Scarlett.
00:24:42Mrs. Hayes.
00:24:43You should have seen it.
00:24:44I almost died.
00:24:45And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:24:50I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:53She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:55Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:25:01Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:25:03She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:25:05All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:25:08I thought Kaysay loved me.
00:25:10But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:25:14No.
00:25:20Forget him, princess.
00:25:21Hmm?
00:25:22You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:25:26How could I be so blind?
00:25:31Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:25:38Records.
00:25:38And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:25:42It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:26:09It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:26:12Wait.
00:26:12Guys.
00:26:13Cut the track.
00:26:17The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:26:20Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:26:25The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:26:30You can't even fix a simple beat?
00:26:32Or a key?
00:26:33What's going on?
00:26:35Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:26:38Are you really Echo?
00:26:43Are you really Echo?
00:26:48Dexy, of course I am.
00:26:52It's just, your new assistant.
00:26:55He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:57He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:27:00I mean, look, last saved by Max.
00:27:05Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:27:07Okay, you know what?
00:27:08Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:27:13Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:27:15It's dead, too.
00:27:16And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screamed me over like that.
00:27:22You're fired.
00:27:29Let's do it again.
00:27:45Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:27:49Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:28:05We're sorry.
00:28:06You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:28:11Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:28:14So why can't I do the same?
00:28:34Look what we just got.
00:28:36An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:28:39The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:28:49Look, I'm not interested, okay? We have a song to finish.
00:28:53Dexter, you said it yourself. They can lay down a track in hours. We have to go. This is a
00:28:58personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:29:03Okay, look. I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him. He's a billionaire record executive. I'm
00:29:12sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a
00:29:16few extra bucks. You have to go and you have to impress him, okay? He could make or break our
00:29:21careers.
00:29:24Okay, I guess you're right.
00:29:25Of course I am. We are the industry's it couple. So now forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:29:35and start getting ready. I mean, what was so special about her anyway? Her coarse tangled hair? Her dull crusty
00:29:47skin? Or maybe those hideous god-awful clothes?
00:29:54I'm Echo. I'm the Reed heiress. And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:30:08How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple? We're honored.
00:30:14And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:30:18Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:30:23I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter. The heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:30:29Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:30:31I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:30:34She is Ed Reed's daughter. I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:30:39Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay? She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:30:43Look! Here she is now!
00:30:55No fucking way!
00:30:57No fucking way!
00:31:15No fucking way!
00:31:16No fucking way!
00:31:20No fucking way!
00:31:21I'll get her.
00:31:25Casey?
00:31:27Hey Dex! Long time no see.
00:31:32Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking away from him. So why does my heart
00:31:40still ache?
00:31:56Ignore her, and instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new
00:32:01CEO.
00:32:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:32:05All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:32:10She's right.
00:32:11I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:32:32Scarlett, what a terrible surprise.
00:32:35I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is
00:32:39for the elite of the music industry only.
00:32:42I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:32:45But the party's just getting started.
00:32:47I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:52Why?
00:32:53So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:33:02And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:33:04Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:33:06I'd love to see you try.
00:33:12Jealous?
00:33:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:33:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:33:21You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:33:30I thought she was someone important.
00:33:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:33:36Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:33:39I would never emotionally recover.
00:33:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:33:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:33:45Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:33:49Hmm.
00:33:50They got that right.
00:33:51Hmm.
00:33:52Is that so?
00:33:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:56Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:34:02Is it you?
00:34:04How dare you?
00:34:08Careful.
00:34:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:34:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:34:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:34:20-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:34:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:34:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:34:31hard.
00:34:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:34:36Mr. Reed.
00:34:37Hi.
00:34:38Dexter Hayes.
00:34:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:34:41You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:34:45Well, I would really love to put that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:51Oh, Dexter Hayes.
00:34:52Of course I can.
00:34:54Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:35:01daughter, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:35:04Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are
00:35:10working on.
00:35:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:35:18I think we could really make something special.
00:35:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:35:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:35:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, well, that would make me forever
00:35:34grateful.
00:35:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:35:38The new CEO is already here.
00:35:52Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I
00:36:02guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:36:05I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:36:11But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:36:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:36:19What, you missed me already?
00:36:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:36:24This event is invite only.
00:36:29Yeah.
00:36:30Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm going to stay.
00:36:35You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:36:42night.
00:36:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:36:45Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:36:50Yeah, right.
00:36:51The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:55You have no power here.
00:36:57Okay, guys.
00:36:59Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:37:03Can we have this conversation later?
00:37:05Aw, Dex.
00:37:07You forgot to say please.
00:37:12Wait, Casey, what?
00:37:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:37:27Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:37:33But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:37:38Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:37:41Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:37:46Because she never wanted to gain fame through her mind.
00:37:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:37:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:59He's going to call us on stage.
00:38:01All right, this is it.
00:38:03He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:38:05I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:38:10And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:38:13My princess.
00:38:16And the light of my life.
00:38:18My daughter.
00:38:20Casey Reed.
00:38:25What?
00:38:30No.
00:38:38Casey.
00:38:55That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:57Holy shit.
00:38:58She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:59She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:39:03Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:39:05Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:39:08She just committed career suicide.
00:39:11Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:39:12For the lady of the hour.
00:39:14Ugh.
00:39:15That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:39:18Dad, this is too much.
00:39:20Well, something from your old man.
00:39:22And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:39:25This cannot be happening.
00:39:27She's a nobody.
00:39:30I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:39:36Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:39:38He was her father.
00:39:39This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:39:43She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:39:48How could I be so blind?
00:39:57What suits you?
00:39:58Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:40:03Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:40:06Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:40:19I just, I still miss you.
00:40:31Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:40:34Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:40:40But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:40:42Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:40:44If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:40:45Explain what, Dexter?
00:40:46Why you want me back?
00:40:48After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:52You're leaving me for Echo?
00:40:55No, no, look, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:58If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:41:01I mean, come on, Casey.
00:41:02I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:41:04You're the one who lied to me.
00:41:05I lied?
00:41:06Yeah.
00:41:07And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:41:11I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:41:13You have to believe me, please.
00:41:15I was just trying to...
00:41:17Look, I...
00:41:19Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:41:20I guess, why are you here?
00:41:22Are you here just...
00:41:22Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:41:25Tank my career?
00:41:28Oh, tank your career.
00:41:30I made his career.
00:41:33I loved you, Dexter.
00:41:36You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:41:41Wait.
00:41:45This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:49Why you left me for dead.
00:41:53Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:55Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:59The fortune.
00:42:00The fans.
00:42:01No, no, please.
00:42:02No, no, no.
00:42:02Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:42:08Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:42:13I hope everyone is having fun.
00:42:16Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:42:27Effective immediately.
00:42:28Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:42:34You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:42:41not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:42:44Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:42:46None of this.
00:42:46I don't care about that.
00:42:47I've always loved you.
00:42:49Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:42:51She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:56Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:58She can produce his songs.
00:43:00She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:43:04Dexter, you don't need her.
00:43:06She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:43:09Okay, Mom, Mom, stop.
00:43:11You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:43:15I'm done talking about this.
00:43:36I've known you for years
00:43:41I've thought you'd stay the same
00:43:45All of those years
00:43:49I've grown here in the place
00:43:58I've been intertwined
00:44:01Lost in time
00:44:03I'm still missing you
00:44:07And I'm still
00:44:10And I'm still
00:44:12I'm still missing you
00:44:21I'm still missing you
00:44:40I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:44:43You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:44:45I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:49Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:50I never gave up on us.
00:44:52She's got to know the truth.
00:44:54I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:45:04Fine.
00:45:06Let's not talk.
00:45:15What's wrong?
00:45:17Your fiancΓ© not keeping you satisfied?
00:45:21I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:45:29Not anymore.
00:45:31I'm your former boss now.
00:45:33In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:45:40I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:45:43I don't give a shit about my career.
00:45:44I just want you.
00:45:45And I know that you want me too.
00:45:48Don't act like you've forgotten
00:45:51what we had.
00:45:54I've been trying to,
00:45:55but being this close again,
00:45:57it feels impossible.
00:46:00You're a lot like an instrument.
00:46:03But you tremble every time we touch.
00:46:11I don't care about the fans.
00:46:13I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:46:14I don't care what the record labels have to say.
00:46:16If you tell me
00:46:17that you want to be with me,
00:46:20we'll be together.
00:46:25We can tease each other all day.
00:46:29Until you finally admit
00:46:31that you
00:46:32still
00:46:34love me.
00:46:58You're right.
00:46:58I am like an instrument.
00:47:00The way I let you play me.
00:47:02After what you did,
00:47:03why would I trust you ever again?
00:47:06Listen to me.
00:47:07I've been trying to tell you
00:47:08I do not want to be with...
00:47:11Hello?
00:47:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:47:16Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:47:16Hold on.
00:47:16Sasha Silver?
00:47:18I've been telling you for months
00:47:19the guy's a douchebag.
00:47:22A douchebag
00:47:22with over a hundred million streams.
00:47:25I mean,
00:47:26we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hold to fill
00:47:28and he could be the next big thing.
00:47:29It's not safe, Casey.
00:47:30You don't need him.
00:47:32He'll hurt you.
00:47:33No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:47:34I don't think you,
00:47:35of all people,
00:47:36get to tell me what I need.
00:47:38Casey.
00:47:39Casey.
00:47:40Casey!
00:47:41Casey!
00:47:42Casey has every right
00:47:44to be angry with me
00:47:45after what I did.
00:47:46I have to prove
00:47:46if she can trust me again.
00:47:59Perfect timing.
00:48:01Make yourself comfortable.
00:48:02Thank you for meeting me
00:48:03on such short notice.
00:48:04Sasha generally doesn't like
00:48:05women who speak too much.
00:48:08I've been an exception for you.
00:48:09Do you always refer to yourself
00:48:11in the third person?
00:48:13I don't know what that means,
00:48:15but
00:48:16you want to hear
00:48:17one of Sasha's demos?
00:48:18They're a big hit online.
00:48:20I'm very excited
00:48:21about a potential partnership.
00:48:22Well,
00:48:24I heard you'd be blown away.
00:48:26Actually,
00:48:27I was hoping for a live performance
00:48:29if you don't mind.
00:48:30So many musicians out there
00:48:31faking their music with AI,
00:48:33you know?
00:48:33Of course.
00:48:36But
00:48:37you're not in a hurry.
00:48:38Why don't we toast first
00:48:39to this potential partnership?
00:48:58Shall we?
00:48:59How can I resist?
00:49:00I do love straight vodka.
00:49:08But you know what I
00:49:11actually
00:49:12love even more than that?
00:49:15What's that?
00:49:17Exposing
00:49:18asshole pervs.
00:49:20My hair!
00:49:21What the fuck?
00:49:22You really think
00:49:23you can drug me?
00:49:24And then what?
00:49:25Force me to sign you
00:49:26to read records?
00:49:28Now you know
00:49:28who you're dealing with.
00:49:31Not so fast.
00:49:32You thought you could
00:49:33just walk in here
00:49:34and demand a live performance
00:49:35from the Sasha Silver?
00:49:37Do I look
00:49:38like a little bitch to you?
00:49:39Absolutely.
00:49:40And a fraud.
00:49:44I'll be sure
00:49:45no label will ever
00:49:46sign you
00:49:47no matter how talented
00:49:48you are.
00:49:50I want me to label
00:49:50to sign me.
00:49:52Not when I get
00:49:52read records
00:49:53or myself.
00:49:57Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:58I'm just hoping
00:49:59you get ready.
00:49:59The paparazzi
00:50:00will be here any minute
00:50:01to see my new mistress.
00:50:02He'll plaster our photos
00:50:03all over the tabloids.
00:50:05Everyone will see
00:50:06what a slut you are.
00:50:07How you slept
00:50:08your way to the top.
00:50:10Your poor father.
00:50:12He's going to have
00:50:12no choice
00:50:13but to hand you
00:50:14and your company
00:50:15over to me.
00:50:16You're delusional.
00:50:18Stay away from me.
00:50:19I'm fine.
00:50:20You don't tell Sasha
00:50:21later.
00:50:21Hey!
00:50:23Get your fucking hands off.
00:50:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:50:27Dexter Hayes.
00:50:29Huh?
00:50:30Are you okay?
00:50:31I'm fine.
00:50:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:50:38I could sue you for that.
00:50:40I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:50:42You're just a wash-up addict.
00:50:44And you do not have a leg
00:50:45to stand on.
00:50:46Okay?
00:50:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:52Jesus.
00:50:53We could have produced
00:50:54a sick-ass record together.
00:50:56You kind of wanted
00:50:57to defend this
00:50:58used-up slut.
00:51:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:51:03Her name
00:51:04is Casey Reed.
00:51:06And she's the future
00:51:07of the industry
00:51:08that you want so badly
00:51:09fucking in!
00:51:11Your career is dead,
00:51:13Sasha.
00:51:14I'm not sure of that.
00:51:16Let's go.
00:51:24Let's go.
00:51:27Give me your hand.
00:51:35Casey, I've been telling you
00:51:37for months.
00:51:37Sasha Silver is literally-
00:51:39My business
00:51:39is none of your concern.
00:51:41If I didn't show up tonight,
00:51:43what the hell
00:51:44do you think
00:51:44would have happened?
00:51:45Do you have any idea
00:51:45what he could have done to you?
00:51:46He could have raped you.
00:51:47Yes!
00:51:48Okay!
00:51:48I know!
00:51:50Newsflash!
00:51:51I'm not your assistant
00:51:52anymore!
00:51:54So,
00:51:54it's not your concern
00:51:55where I am
00:51:56or what I'm doing.
00:51:58Okay?
00:51:58So stop
00:52:01following me.
00:52:06The car is still
00:52:07fucking moving.
00:52:09stop following you
00:52:10the minute that you
00:52:11stop making stupid
00:52:13fucking decisions.
00:52:15And when I've made it
00:52:16for all the danger
00:52:17I've put her in.
00:52:20You're way
00:52:22too interested
00:52:24in my personal life,
00:52:26Dex.
00:52:26Won't your fiance
00:52:27be jealous?
00:52:33I've been trying
00:52:34to tell you
00:52:34for weeks
00:52:35I did not
00:52:37want
00:52:37to marry
00:52:38Scarlet.
00:52:40You don't fucking
00:52:41listen.
00:52:42Now you're really
00:52:43starting to piss me off.
00:52:45Isn't that the point?
00:52:56what am I supposed to do?
00:52:59Pretend she doesn't exist
00:53:02and be the pop star's
00:53:04secret side piece again.
00:53:08I should push him
00:53:10away but
00:53:10I can't deny
00:53:11how much I miss
00:53:12his touch.
00:53:13You were never
00:53:14the side piece
00:53:16and you know it.
00:53:26boss,
00:53:28I have news.
00:53:30Thank you
00:53:31for your help
00:53:32today,
00:53:33Dexter.
00:53:35Please,
00:53:36stop following me.
00:53:40Or else it's gonna get
00:53:41harder and harder
00:53:42to walk away.
00:53:52Great timing.
00:53:54As always.
00:53:55Why are you even here?
00:53:57Done what you asked.
00:53:58News of Sasha Silver's
00:53:59fraudulence and drug abuse
00:54:00have been leaked
00:54:01to the press.
00:54:01No label,
00:54:02studio,
00:54:03brand will go
00:54:03anywhere near him.
00:54:05His net worth
00:54:05plummeted to zero.
00:54:06Good.
00:54:07Buy all the rights
00:54:08to his music.
00:54:11Let me get that
00:54:12Casey as a gift.
00:54:18I heard what
00:54:19happened with Sasha.
00:54:20Now that was
00:54:20way too risky,
00:54:21Casey.
00:54:22Look,
00:54:22I'm far from
00:54:23Dexter's biggest fan
00:54:24but that could have
00:54:25gotten real ugly
00:54:26if he hadn't shown up.
00:54:27I could have
00:54:28handled Sasha.
00:54:29There was also
00:54:29a huge leak in the press.
00:54:31All of Sasha Silver's
00:54:33dirty laundry
00:54:33had out for everyone
00:54:34to see.
00:54:35He's been,
00:54:36what do you kids
00:54:36call it,
00:54:37canceled.
00:54:37Who took him down?
00:54:40Dexter Hayes.
00:54:45He even bought
00:54:46the rights
00:54:47to Sasha's music.
00:54:48He can't sing
00:54:49anything anywhere
00:54:50or get sued
00:54:51to hell and back.
00:54:53Dex took down
00:54:54Sasha Silver
00:54:55for me?
00:54:56Maybe.
00:54:57He's not as bad
00:54:58as I thought.
00:54:59Or maybe he should
00:55:00stop interfering
00:55:01himself with my life.
00:55:07The world famous
00:55:08music producer Echo
00:55:09is set to finally
00:55:10reveal their identity
00:55:11at the legendary
00:55:12Universal Music Awards
00:55:13tomorrow night.
00:55:16Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:55:17She's trying to convince
00:55:18the world she's Echo
00:55:19before it can expose
00:55:20her lies.
00:55:21She can't keep up
00:55:22the act forever.
00:55:23Sooner or later,
00:55:24Dexter will realize
00:55:25she can't even hold
00:55:25a tune.
00:55:26Much less produce
00:55:28a hit track.
00:55:29Scarlet is nothing
00:55:30if she's not Echo.
00:55:31She knows Dexter
00:55:32wouldn't look at her
00:55:33twice, let alone
00:55:34marry her,
00:55:35if she wasn't
00:55:36pretending to be
00:55:37a genius producer.
00:55:38I don't know how
00:55:38she thinks she's
00:55:39going to get away
00:55:39with it.
00:55:42I think it's time
00:55:43the world finds out
00:55:44who the real Echo is.
00:55:49You want to go
00:55:50to the UMAs
00:55:51as Echo?
00:55:52They've invited me
00:55:53every year
00:55:54and I've always refused.
00:55:55I've let this scam
00:55:56go on long enough.
00:55:58It's time the world
00:55:59finds out the truth
00:56:00about Scarlet Heart.
00:56:01The world.
00:56:02Or Dexter.
00:56:06This isn't about him.
00:56:10He made his bed
00:56:10when he proposed
00:56:11to Scarlet.
00:56:12Well, my daughter
00:56:13deserves all the
00:56:13recognition of the world.
00:56:16But if you're
00:56:16going to go as Echo,
00:56:18oh, you're going
00:56:18to do it right.
00:56:20With the best
00:56:20equipment money
00:56:21can buy.
00:56:22Huh?
00:56:25I want people
00:56:26to see my princess
00:56:27for the queen
00:56:27that she is.
00:56:32You're the best,
00:56:33Dad.
00:56:46Mrs. Hayes!
00:56:48It's so good
00:56:49to see you again.
00:56:51How's Dexter?
00:56:53Engaged?
00:56:54Yes.
00:56:55My future daughter-in-law
00:56:57is performing
00:56:57at the Universal Music
00:56:59Awards tomorrow
00:57:00and I'd like to gift her
00:57:01something to mark
00:57:02the occasion.
00:57:03So none of these
00:57:04mass-produced guitars.
00:57:06She's a musical genius.
00:57:08We need something
00:57:09one-of-a-kind
00:57:10just like her.
00:57:11Of course.
00:57:12I have the perfect
00:57:13gift for her.
00:57:14A custom
00:57:15Fender Signature
00:57:16Stratocaster.
00:57:22Please don't touch that.
00:57:24Those instruments
00:57:25are only for
00:57:26our VIP clientele.
00:57:28Ugh.
00:57:29It's you.
00:57:30Get this
00:57:31career-sabotaging
00:57:33stalker

00:57:37our VIP customers.

00:57:40now.
00:57:45I'm the CEO
00:57:46of Reed Records.
00:57:49I have just as much
00:57:50of a right
00:57:50to be here as you.
00:57:52Because of your
00:57:52Nepo baby connections,
00:57:54we all know
00:57:55money can't buy talent.
00:57:57Hmm.
00:57:58Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:59Excuse me?
00:58:00I am Dexter
00:58:02Hayes' fiancΓ©
00:58:03and creative
00:58:04collaborator.
00:58:05And you don't
00:58:06really know
00:58:06anything about music.
00:58:08Yeah.
00:58:09You're right.
00:58:10In that case,
00:58:12you should have
00:58:13this.
00:58:20No!
00:58:25No!
00:58:26Oh, my God!
00:58:28What?

00:58:36Ah!
00:58:37Are you insane?
00:58:39You just destroyed
00:58:40a million dollar
00:58:41guitar.

00:58:48Oh, my God.
00:58:51I need to speak
00:58:52to the owner
00:58:52about an offer.
00:58:53You need to
00:58:54set that up for me?
00:58:54Yes, of course,
00:58:55Mr. Hayes.
00:58:59Just kidding.
00:59:01It's all yours now.
00:59:11Scarlett,
00:59:12ignore this
00:59:13wannabe musician.
00:59:15We'll find
00:59:16a better option.
00:59:18Mmm.
00:59:19Mmm.
00:59:22Like this one.
00:59:24BeyoncΓ© used
00:59:25this on her last
00:59:26album.
00:59:27This instrument
00:59:28is worthy
00:59:29of Echo,
00:59:30the genius
00:59:31producer.
00:59:32Hey, hey, hey,
00:59:33hey, hey, hey.
00:59:34Actually,
00:59:34actually,
00:59:35this guitar
00:59:36is no longer
00:59:37available.
00:59:38In fact,
00:59:39my entire collection
00:59:40is on hold
00:59:41for the new owner.
00:59:43I'm gonna
00:59:43I'm gonna just...
00:59:46My apologies,

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