🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:27I chose to stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:34the rock star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:10feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song.
00:01:19At least control. My little moon.
00:01:25I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:34Good. And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna
00:01:42sing the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every interview. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay. It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come
00:02:25off, and I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:33You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:46he's in bed with his frumpy assistant.
00:03:49A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:54Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:15Go, guys!
00:04:16Go!
00:04:18Go!
00:04:19Go!
00:04:20Go!
00:04:20Go!
00:04:21Go!
00:04:21Go!
00:04:21Go!
00:04:24Go!
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted. I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio. Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad, we've talked about this. In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him. You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight. But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:41Oh, my God. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:45Is Kasey Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:01God, where's Kasey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song? I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Kasey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls. Dodged questions. Kasey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:15Wait. Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:19And we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex. The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:45I'm a man as I'm a man.
00:07:52I'm a man as I'm a man.
00:08:03Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you, I'm one thing to remember you by.
00:08:12The time I looked into your eye, a secret feeling again.
00:08:18I know I was running out of time.
00:08:57I was running out of time.
00:09:04I've gone to your mind.
00:09:05I've gone to your race home.
00:09:10— Seek me.
00:09:11he do this to me. Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes. He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:34to
00:09:34renounce our relationship. I loved her and she betrayed me. Oh my god! Dexie! Oh my god, is he proposing
00:09:55to Scarlet
00:09:56a heart? Yes! Oh my god! Dexie! Yes! Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me. No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet,
00:10:18but she made my career and Casey betrayed me. It was all a lie. All right, I can play along
00:10:31with his
00:10:31engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:44Hey, Casey. You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose
00:11:03and put a ring on Scarlet Hurt's finger? Casey, you gave me no choice. I gave you everything.
00:11:14I loved you. Do you love her? I owe her, okay? I owe her, all right? I don't...
00:11:22You owe her? Scarlet Hurt is just some talentless industry plant. What has she ever done for you?
00:11:29Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today, okay? So, so, so that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about? Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:48You think Scarlet Hurt is Echo? Well, I know she is. You know what? I'll never be able to
00:11:56thank her enough for everything she's done for me, and I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:03How could you believe her lies? Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore. Is this what you wanted all along? To be
00:12:15a music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans, to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about, isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty. Just your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook, full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:49That's my notebook. How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:53I'm a musical genius, and you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Give it back. Ow! Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02Dexter, what has gotten into you? I don't... I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexy, baby, I know all about girls like her. They want fame and money without really ever
00:13:14having to work for it. She's taking advantage of you. She has been for years.
00:13:20Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this. Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:25Then tell me why I shouldn't, okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:38Casey.
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things. So please just, just tell me the truth.
00:13:49Okay, right now, or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:55Yes.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:08The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:17We're over.
00:14:20Dex.
00:14:22Goodbye.
00:14:24Forever.
00:14:26Forever.
00:14:44The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight, and she said yes.
00:14:59Dad.
00:15:01I gave Dexter everything.
00:15:03I made his career, but he doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.
00:15:09What happened, Princess?
00:15:11Scarlet Hart.
00:15:12She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:21Casey.
00:15:22Casey, where are you?
00:15:33It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:36Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:42Let me go.
00:15:43Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:45We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your friends, too.
00:15:48We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:52We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:00You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:03I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:05We were in love.
00:16:07Or I thought we were.
00:16:10We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:12The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:15is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:27Dressing room.
00:16:28Come alone.
00:16:30Choose to save Scarlet Hart, and we'll spare them.
00:16:33Choose your little assistant,
00:16:34and they both die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey.
00:16:39I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left a concert.
00:16:48Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:51Dexter is coming.
00:16:53We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:56You psychos!
00:16:58Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:03Obviously not.
00:17:05She's just some nobody who slept with him
00:17:07to break into the industry.
00:17:09You fucked him too?
00:17:11God.
00:17:12Our precious Dexter.
00:17:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:17Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:19You don't deserve to live.
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:24So, if Casey dies,
00:17:27then the truth dies with her.
00:17:29That's not true.
00:17:31First you steal my identity,
00:17:33now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:34You're psychotic.
00:17:36Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:38If you die today,
00:17:39Dex and I will make a song about you,
00:17:40and maybe it'll even be the lead single
00:17:42on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:53Crazy.
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:01Casey!
00:18:02Dexter!
00:18:02Dexter!
00:18:04Dexter!
00:18:04Dexter, help me!
00:18:06They hit me,
00:18:06and then they tied me up,
00:18:08and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:10Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:13Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:15We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:17We're your biggest fans.
00:18:20We're doing this for you.
00:18:21Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:24all right,
00:18:25you'll put the gun down,
00:18:26and then let these two go, please.
00:18:28No, that's not how this works.
00:18:30Dexy,
00:18:31you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:34We're engaged now.
00:18:35You can't let me die.
00:18:37Dex,
00:18:38all the love we ever had,
00:18:40all the memories,
00:18:41all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:43do they mean anything?
00:18:45You must choose one to live.
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart,
00:18:55Dexter Hayes?
00:18:56They said if I told you Scarlet,
00:18:58then they both die.
00:19:00I can save Casey,
00:19:01but I...
00:19:01I have to break her heart.
00:19:04Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:07Dexter Hayes?
00:19:13You never really loved me,
00:19:15did you?
00:19:16And you loved him?
00:19:18You leeched off him
00:19:19for half a decade.
00:19:21If that's what you really think,
00:19:23Dex,
00:19:23go ahead,
00:19:24make your choice.
00:19:25Choose now,
00:19:26or they both die.
00:19:27Dexter,
00:19:28Dexter,

00:19:32You dumped her,
00:19:33you chose me,

00:19:36That's email.
00:19:37We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:40two,
00:19:42one.
00:19:42Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:43I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:46Scarlet,
00:19:47all right?
00:19:47I choose Scarlet.
00:19:53Dexter,
00:19:54I'm gonna faint.
00:19:55I was so scared.
00:19:57He chose Scarlet?
00:19:59Good choice.
00:20:00Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:02Now, wait a minute.
00:20:03You told me that I...
00:20:04You made your choice,
00:20:06Dexter Hayes.
00:20:07Now you get to be the one
00:20:08who saved your soulmate,
00:20:10and we'll take care of your
00:20:12scandalous side piece.
00:20:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:20I guess
00:20:21this is the end.
00:20:27Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:30Put the gun down!
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:47Let's go.
00:20:48Let's go.
00:20:48Let's go.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:49Oh, God.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:53All right.
00:20:54Let's go.
00:20:57It's gonna be okay.
00:20:58Okay?
00:20:59You left me to die.
00:21:01And for the record,
00:21:02I never needed your money.
00:21:04I was right to walk away.
00:21:06Staying with you
00:21:07was the biggest mistake
00:21:08I've ever made.
00:21:10Look, Casey,
00:21:11you don't understand, all right?
00:21:12They were gonna make me...
00:21:13I'm done
00:21:15living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:18Goodbye.
00:21:24Casey, Casey.
00:21:25Casey, Casey.
00:21:25Hey.
00:21:33Casey.
00:21:34Casey, stop.
00:21:35Please, stop.
00:21:36Please, please.
00:21:37We're gonna go...
00:21:38Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:39without all this?
00:21:40You should be asking yourself
00:21:42that same question.
00:21:43Good luck staying at the top
00:21:45of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:46You're delusional.
00:21:47He doesn't need you.
00:21:49He has Echo.
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:51Sure he does.
00:21:53Fame really has changed you,
00:21:56Dexter Hayes.
00:21:59Fame changed me?
00:22:02Okay.
00:22:03And what about you?
00:22:05You're the one
00:22:05that's been sneaking around
00:22:06behind my back
00:22:07this whole time.
00:22:09I never betrayed you
00:22:12how you betrayed me
00:22:13by putting that ring
00:22:14on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:15You chose her
00:22:17and you left me for dead.
00:22:19No.
00:22:20Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:20I was trying to...
00:22:46Oh my God, that's...
00:22:47That's Ed Reed,
00:22:48the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:52So sorry it didn't come sooner,
00:22:53baby girl.
00:22:57You're here now.
00:22:58Take me home.
00:23:14I was trying to have everything
00:23:17you ever wanted.
00:23:18I was trying to...
00:23:21Casey, I...
00:23:28Casey, you have everything.
00:23:33Casey, Casey,
00:23:35let me explain.
00:23:40Scarlet.
00:23:41Mrs. Hayes,
00:23:42you should have seen it.
00:23:44I almost died.
00:23:45And that desperate skank
00:23:47cheated on Dexter
00:23:48with some sugar daddy.
00:23:50I always knew
00:23:51she was a gold digger.
00:23:52She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:55Then when that failed,
00:23:57she went after the CEO
00:23:58of the biggest music label
00:23:59in the world.
00:24:00Dexter,
00:24:01she never cared about you.
00:24:03She's been lying to you
00:24:04this entire time.
00:24:05All she ever cared about
00:24:06was money and power.
00:24:08I thought Casey loved me,
00:24:10but the whole time
00:24:11she was in bed
00:24:12with the CEO
00:24:13of Reed Records.

00:29:37very splashy entrance whoever she is we need to impress her okay she could be our ticket to a number
00:29:42one
00:29:42album look here she is now
00:29:55no fucking way
00:30:17no fucking way
00:30:21casey
00:30:25casey
00:30:27hey dex long time no see
00:30:32dex has already moved on with scarlet i should be happy walking away from him
00:30:38so why does my heart still ache
00:30:56ignore her and instead focus on kissing up to ed reed so he introduces us to the new ceo
00:31:02you should listen to her dexter all we need to do is get on their good side and our album
00:31:07will go
00:31:08straight to number one she's right i have to impress ed reed and this new ceo if i want our
00:31:15album to
00:31:30be a hit
00:31:32scarlet what a terrible surprise i should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar
00:31:37daddy but this party is for the elite of the music industry only i suggest you wait on the street
00:31:43corner with the other hookers but the party's just getting started i can't miss the big announcement
00:31:52why so you can seduce the new ceo of reed records too i hear he's much more selective than ed
00:31:59reed so
00:31:59don't expect him to look at you twice and don't distract dexter tonight leave or i will have security
00:32:05escort you out i'd love to see you try
00:32:12jealous i loved him and those feelings don't just go away how could she change his mind so easily
00:32:21you can dress up all you want but you will always just be dexter's lowly little errant girl
00:32:30i thought she was someone important she's just a desperate assistant playing dress up imagine getting
00:32:36dragged by the scarlet hard i would never emotionally recover where do you think she got the jewels
00:32:41though probably out whoring herself to old men just like all those desperate social climbers in our
00:32:48industry they got that right hmm is that so tell me something scarlet is it really me who's putting on
00:32:59an
00:32:59actor is it you how dare you careful the new ceo might be watching
00:33:12you think you're hot just because you're the real echo you may have the talent but you have no money
00:33:17and no connections besides the ones you make and pay by the hour hotel rooms but me i'm a beloved
00:33:23up-and-coming pop star and if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again i will

00:44:51What we had
00:44:53I've been trying to
00:44:55But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:59Impossible
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:03But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:11About the fans
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:14I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:16If you tell me
00:45:17That you want to be with me
00:45:20We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other all day
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:30That you
00:45:32Still
00:45:34Love me
00:45:57You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:46:00The way I let you play me
00:46:02After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with

00:46:14Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:16Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag
00:46:22With over a hundred million strings
00:46:24I mean
00:46:25We have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:27Size hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:29It's not safe
00:46:30Casey
00:46:30You don't need him
00:46:32He'll hurt you
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:35Of all people
00:46:36Get to tell me
00:46:37What I need
00:46:37Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:42Casey has every right
00:46:43To be angry with me
00:46:44After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46She can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me
00:47:02On self-short notice
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05Women who speak too much
00:47:08I've been an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:11In the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means
00:47:14But
00:47:16You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:24Hired to be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:29If you don't mind
00:47:30So many musicians out there
00:47:31Faking their music with AI
00:47:32You know
00:47:33Of course
00:47:35But
00:47:37You're not in a hurry
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:12Love even more than that
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18Asshole pervs
00:48:19My hair
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:27Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance
00:48:35From the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:46No matter how talented you are
00:48:49I want me to label to sign me
00:48:51Not when I can read records
00:48:53For myself
00:48:56Don't be shy Casey
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:00To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03All over the tabloids
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:10Your poor father
00:49:11He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:17Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off
00:49:24What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands

00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine
00:49:36What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that
00:49:39I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:41You're just a wash up addict
00:49:43And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:50Okay, I'm sorry
00:49:52Jesus
00:49:52We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:49:56You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:49:59I mean what the fuck
00:50:02Her name
00:50:03Is Casey Reed
00:50:05And she's the future of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly
00:50:09Fucking in
00:50:11Your career is dead

00:50:24Let's go
00:50:27Give me your hand
00:50:35Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:37Sasha Silver is literally
00:50:38My business
00:50:39Is none of your concern
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:43What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:44Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:46He could have raped you
00:50:47Yes, okay
00:50:48I know
00:50:50Newsflash
00:50:50I'm not your assistant
00:50:53Anymore
00:50:53So
00:50:54It's not your concern
00:50:55Where I am
00:50:56Or what I'm doing
00:50:57Okay?
00:50:58So stop
00:51:01Following me
00:51:05The car is still fucking moving
00:51:08Stop following you

00:51:22Too interested
00:51:23In my personal life
00:51:25Dex

00:51:27Be jealous?
00:51:32I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:35I did not
00:51:36Want
00:51:37To marry
00:51:38Scarlet
00:51:39You don't fucking listen
00:51:41Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:44Isn't that the point?
00:51:55So
00:51:57What am I supposed to do?
00:51:59Pretend she
00:52:00Doesn't exist
00:52:02And be
00:52:02The pop star's
00:52:04Secret side piece again
00:52:08I should push him away
00:52:10But
00:52:10I can't deny
00:52:11How much I miss his touch
00:52:12You were never the side piece
00:52:16And you know it
00:52:26Boss
00:52:27I have news
00:52:29Thank you for
00:52:31Your help
00:52:31Today
00:52:32Dexter
00:52:34Please
00:52:35Stop following me
00:52:39Or else
00:52:40It's gonna get harder
00:52:41And harder
00:52:42To walk away
00:52:52Great timing
00:52:54As always
00:52:55Why are you even here?
00:52:57Done what you asked
00:52:57News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:52:59And drug abuse
00:53:00Have been leaked to the press
00:53:01No label, studio, or brand
00:53:03Will go anywhere near
00:53:04His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:06Good
00:53:07Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:11I'm gonna give that Casey
00:53:12As a gift
00:53:18I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:19Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:21Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:24But that could have gotten real ugly
00:53:26If he hadn't shown up
00:53:27I could have handled Sasha
00:53:28There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:31All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry
00:53:33He had out for everyone to see
00:53:34He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:36Cancelled
00:53:37Who took him down?
00:53:40Dexter Hayes
00:53:45He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:48He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:50Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:52Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:55For me?
00:53:56Maybe
00:53:57He's not as bad as I thought
00:53:59Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:06The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:09Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:11At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:15Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:17She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:19Before it can expose her lies
00:54:21She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:23Sooner or later Dexter will realize
00:54:24She can't even hold a tune
00:54:26Much less produce a hit track
00:54:28Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:31She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:33Let alone marry her
00:54:35If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:37I don't know how she thinks
00:54:38She's gonna get away with it
00:54:41I think it's time
00:54:43The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:49You wanna go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:52They've invited me every year
00:54:54And I've always refused
00:54:55I've let this scam go on long enough
00:54:57It's time the world finds out the truth
00:54:59About Scarlet Heart
00:55:00The world
00:55:01Or Dexter
00:55:06This isn't about him
00:55:09He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:11Well my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:15But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:17Oh you're gonna do it right
00:55:19With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:22Huh?
00:55:24I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:31You're the best dad
00:55:46Mrs. Hayes
00:55:47It's so good to see you again
00:55:51How's Dexter?
00:55:53Engaged
00:55:53Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:55:59And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:02So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:06She's a musical genius
00:56:08We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:10Of course
00:56:11I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:13A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:22Please don't touch that
00:56:24Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:27Ugh, it's you
00:56:29Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:34Excuse me?
00:56:35You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:38I have to ask you to leave
00:56:40Now
00:56:45I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:48I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:51Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:56:53We all know money can't buy talent
00:56:57Tell that to Scarlett
00:56:58Excuse me?
00:57:01I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator
00:57:04And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:07Yeah
00:57:08You're right
00:57:10In that case
00:57:12You should have this
00:57:31Oops
00:57:32Slipped out of my hands
00:57:34My bad
00:57:37Are you insane?
00:57:39You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:42Security
00:57:42Take this woman away
00:57:45Hold on just one second
00:57:47Dexter Hayes?
00:57:48Oh my god
00:57:51I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:53You think you can set that up for me?
00:57:54Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:57:56Okay
00:58:01It's all yours now
00:58:11Scarlett
00:58:11Scarlett
00:58:12Ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:15We'll find a better option
00:58:22Like this one
00:58:23Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:26This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:29The genius producer
00:58:31Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:33Actually, actually
00:58:35This guitar is no longer available
00:58:37In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:43I'm gonna just
00:58:46My apologies
00:58:46My apologies
00:58:47Apologies
00:58:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:49We saw it first
00:58:51Look, look
00:58:52We just want the one guitar
00:58:53I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:55You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:58:57But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:00From choking on the stage
00:59:05How dare you
00:59:07You little bitch
00:59:13That's enough
00:59:17Hi, Dexie
00:59:21Are you okay
00:59:23Dexter
00:59:23She just insulted your fiancé
00:59:26You need to do something
00:59:28Ma
00:59:28Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:31About the current status of my engagement
00:59:34Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:36Is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:40The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:45You know what, actually
00:59:46I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:47I should show respect to
00:59:50The one person who's always been there for me
00:59:54Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt
00:59:56I knew you would support me
00:59:59Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:01You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:03How much it costs
01:00:05And I'll pay it
01:00:05Whatever it is
01:00:06Right here and now
01:00:08Miss Reed
01:00:09As the new owner of the store
01:00:11How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:13Wait, what?
01:00:14I was...
01:00:18I'm sorry, I'm the new owner
01:00:22Consider it a late birthday gift
01:00:23For my former assistant
01:00:25You did this for me
01:00:28You really think I need a music store?
01:00:31Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all
01:00:33But from someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:36Why the hell not?
01:00:39Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:42She's not even a real musician
01:00:44And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:47You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:51Oh, it's okay
01:00:52Scarlet could have it for free
01:00:53As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:00Casey, I am not stooping to your level
01:01:02And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:05I will talk to you about this later
01:01:09You will regret this
01:01:11Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:14She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:18Thanks, Mom
01:01:25One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:28It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:32Two, my birthday was months ago
01:01:34Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:37So your gift means nothing
01:01:42Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:44What secret?
01:01:48Secret?
01:01:49Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:01:50What secret?
01:01:54Should I tell him the truth?
01:01:57No
01:01:57That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:04But not anymore
01:02:07I don't need you
01:02:19Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:20I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection
01:02:24Yes, sir
01:02:27Oh, one more thing
01:02:30She's fired
01:02:32Yes, sir
01:02:34Thank you
01:02:36Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:38I love you
01:02:51Mr. Hayes
01:02:52Ms. Hart
01:02:53You're on in five
01:02:53The broadcast will begin live
01:02:55Thank you
01:02:58Did you hear that?
01:02:59Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:02It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:03The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:07I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:12All right, guys, it's time, let's go
01:03:15Scarlet
01:03:29You can't start the show without me
01:03:35I knew you'd make it
01:03:36Of course she did
01:03:37Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:41Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:42You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:45I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:51none
01:03:52Mmm
01:03:53I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:03:57Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:00Break the legs, Scarlet
01:04:02Or should I say, Echo
01:04:06Don't choke
01:04:08Hope you don't choke
01:04:30The playback's down
01:04:32The track's gone, completely white
01:04:35You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:41I didn't even make that version
01:04:42I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me to her reject tracks
01:04:45Go fix this
01:04:47Now
01:04:50This is bad, all right
01:04:51Everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:53We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:04:54And the label's gonna drop us
01:04:56What are we gonna do?
01:04:58I have an idea
01:05:01You're Echo, right?
01:05:13Yes, it's true
01:05:15I'm Echo
01:05:17The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:22Then prove it
01:05:24Go ahead
01:05:25Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:28Come on
01:05:29You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:31I mean
01:05:32This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:34I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:37I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:39This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:41I must have another file I can play
01:05:43I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:47Of course
01:05:49Watch me work my magic
01:06:07And that's how it's done
01:06:09Show must go on
01:06:11Nice try
01:06:12Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:15You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:18Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:21And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:26Yeah
01:06:34Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:06:36That means recording the instruments live looping the
01:06:39Don't listen to her
01:06:41She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:44And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:48If I didn't know any better
01:06:50I'd think you were trying to sabotage him
01:06:52Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:53Why would Casey do that?
01:06:54For real
01:06:55Okay
01:06:56You're Echo
01:06:56Okay
01:06:57So just fix the track
01:07:01Yeah
01:07:02Come on Echo
01:07:03What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:13Scarlet
01:07:13You are our only hope now
01:07:15You have to fix this
01:07:17I could
01:07:18If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:20Breed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:23Casey
01:07:23If you're such a genius
01:07:25Why don't you fix it?
01:07:26Oh
01:07:27I actually would
01:07:28Gladly
01:07:29But it's actually your big night
01:07:30So
01:07:30Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:33And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:35Echo
01:07:37Echo
01:07:38Echo
01:07:38Echo
01:07:39Echo
01:07:40Echo
01:07:40Echo
01:07:41Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:44Record some MIDI instruments
01:07:45Lay them down
01:07:46Make a track
01:07:46It's that simple
01:07:47You know how to do this
01:07:49You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:52I mean, if she goes down
01:07:54You go down with her
01:07:57Casey shouldn't even be here
01:07:58I can't let her expose me
01:08:00Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter
01:08:02And becoming a pop legend
01:08:05Boop
01:08:26Is this part of her process?
01:08:27It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:51Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:08:55Come on Echo
01:08:56Show them your talent
01:08:58Keep going
01:08:58Get off the stage
01:09:00You're ruining the UMAs
01:09:04Alright, look
01:09:07It's done
01:09:09You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:12You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:14Yeah
01:09:15I am
01:09:15That whole career
01:09:17That I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:20Yeah
01:09:23Because you know what?
01:09:25Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:28That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:31And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:33As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:39Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:42Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:45Mom
01:09:46You heard the track, okay?
01:09:48There's no saving this song
01:09:49Now it's over
01:09:50It's over
01:10:05Well
01:10:06I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:10No
01:10:10No
01:10:11There's no
01:10:12There's no other
01:10:13Hey
01:10:14It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:24What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:26Mom
01:10:26Mom
01:10:26Stop
01:10:28You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:31I mean
01:10:32You can stay
01:10:33Unless you want to go down
01:10:34As the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:36If I couldn't mix a whole live track
01:10:38What makes you think you could?
01:10:40For one
01:10:41I know what I'm doing
01:10:43And if you don't?
01:10:45Will you step down
01:10:46As Reed Records CEO
01:10:47If you fail?
01:10:49Happily
01:10:49Hmm
01:10:53Everyone
01:10:54We're about to watch the Reed Records CEO
01:10:56Dig her own grave
01:10:57It seems like Echo
01:10:58Is having technical difficulties
01:11:00With her track
01:11:02Since we're live
01:11:03Let's make something new
01:11:05Dexter, sing me the first line of your song
01:11:06Just your voice
01:11:09Right now
01:11:09Right now
01:11:16I am not the kind for a show
01:11:24This is not a one-time thing
01:11:27Lights are low
01:11:29But I still love
01:11:32This morning's got a sting
01:11:36Good
01:11:40Now let's make a hit
01:11:48Let's fucking go
01:11:50Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:09I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:11So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:13I can't
01:12:13I don't have
01:12:14But
01:12:14You don't need anything
01:12:16Except for a band
01:12:17And raw talent
01:12:18I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:24Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:27That sound
01:12:28It's
01:12:28Familiar
01:12:35Stop
01:12:38Stop it
01:12:50Casey
01:12:53You're Echo
01:12:54Does this mean Casey Reed
01:12:56Is Echo?
01:12:58This is my song
01:13:00She just ripped it off
01:13:01Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:03Don't listen to her
01:13:06I'm Echo
01:13:10I didn't even make that version
01:13:11I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:13To send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:14Go fix this
01:13:19Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:25She's the one that saved the song
01:13:26No, that was me
01:13:28I already did all the work
01:13:30She's just taking the credit
01:13:31I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:34So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:37You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:39But you're going to have to pay me for it
01:13:41Where do I sign?
01:13:43I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:46I think you might just be surprised
01:13:49200 million
01:13:50200 million?
01:13:52For one song?
01:13:53That's more than our entire album deal
01:13:55Are you insane?
01:13:57And
01:13:57I want my name to be credited
01:14:01Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:03And one last thing
01:14:05I want a public apology
01:14:07From Scarlet Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:11That's ridiculous
01:14:11Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:14I mean, you don't have to
01:14:15I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:16And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:18And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:20So
01:14:21What will it be?
01:14:27The clock is ticking
01:14:30I was wrong about you
01:14:32You saved Dexter's song
01:14:35I'm sorry
01:14:39And you?
01:14:41Do it
01:14:42Apologize to her
01:14:43That bitch
01:14:44Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:47She ruined everything
01:14:48Come on, let's hear it
01:14:49Tell the world the truth
01:14:51Scarlet
01:14:51Fine
01:14:52I'm not Echo
01:14:54I pretended
01:14:55And I never wrote or produced
01:14:57Any of Dexter's songs
01:14:58They are happy
01:15:01They are happy
01:15:04Wait
01:15:05That's not what I really meant
01:15:07Dexter
01:15:08She manipulated me
01:15:10You're still my fiance
01:15:11You believe
01:15:12Scarlet, you are exactly
01:15:14What we all see
01:15:15You fucking fought
01:15:16And you're a damn liar
01:15:18Casey
01:15:19Is the one
01:15:20Who built my career
01:15:21Hell, she's the one
01:15:22Who saved the damn song
01:15:24She's the only one
01:15:25Who ever cared about me
01:15:27Or loved me
01:15:29Our engagement
01:15:30Is off
01:15:32And so is the record
01:15:55Please don't cancel the album
01:15:56The album
01:15:57Terminating your contract
01:15:59And blacklisting you
01:16:00From the industry
01:16:01Career is over
01:16:08Got yourself a DL case
01:16:23If we're not here for long
01:16:28Tell me where would we belong
01:16:34Who are you?
01:16:36My back is fast against the wall
01:16:40I need you to know
01:16:42I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:46Your name's on fire
01:16:49Your name's on fire
01:16:49In my veins
01:16:51It's burning for my chains
01:16:57Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:03Who am I to look like?
01:17:08Who am I to look like?
01:17:09Who am I to look like?
01:17:52Who am I to look like?
01:17:54Oh my God
01:18:09Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning, genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:16I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:19You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:27You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:18:34Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:18:48But you had to get in my way.
01:18:50Hey!
01:18:53That won't happen again.
01:18:55Hey, say!
01:18:56Dex, no!
01:18:58No!
01:19:06No! No!
01:19:09Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:10Oh, my God!
01:19:16Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:18You've been here all night.
01:19:21You still love him, don't you?
01:19:24Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:27As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:19:30You know, if you say so, but...
01:19:32Have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:19:36It doesn't matter now.
01:19:38Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:42Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:47But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:19:51And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:19:57Your love.
01:19:58Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:00I mean...
01:20:01A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:07Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:09Hmm?
01:20:10Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:12The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival.
01:20:17And sign him to the label again.
01:20:19You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:27Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:20:34Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:20:54It was a close call.
01:20:56One centimeter to the right.
01:20:57He could have punctured his lung.
01:20:59If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:04Oh, hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:06But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:09That's it, okay?
01:21:17What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:21How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:25If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:21:30Never.
01:21:34Bye.
01:21:34Bye.
01:21:40I got you, beautiful.
01:21:45Why are you still mad at me?
01:21:48I think I have every right to be.
01:21:54Casey, I...
01:21:59I miss you.
01:22:00I miss him, too.
01:22:02But everything we've put each other through...
01:22:05Can we really be together again?
01:22:08You saved my life, and...
01:22:13I will be forever grateful.
01:22:17And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:20And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:23We can end on a high note.
01:22:24No!
01:22:25No!
01:22:27Is that really what you want?
01:22:29To walk away from all this forever.
01:22:38Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:22:41Something I've been trying to show you.
01:22:55That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:22:59I only did it because I had to.
01:23:02They forced you to choose her.
01:23:03I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:06I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:09I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:12And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:13And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:15And I...
01:23:17But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:25But I said I loved you, Dexter. I meant it.
01:23:29I don't wanna be with anyone else.
01:23:32Me neither.
01:23:37You're my little muse.
01:23:41My pop star.
01:23:46Which...
01:23:48Reminds me.
01:23:51Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:23:57The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:01You saved their CEO. You deserve it.
01:24:04You're the reason I sing.
01:24:06You're the reason I live.
01:24:08I don't wanna song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:11You...
01:24:12You're my world, Casey.
01:24:16I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:24:19But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:22I don't wanna be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that stuff.
01:24:27I don't even wanna sing or have this career.
01:24:29I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:24:32That's all I need.
01:24:36We do it together.
01:24:41I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:24:44Okay.
01:24:47I want us to do this together.
01:24:52I love you.
01:24:55I love you too.
01:25:09Thanks, Amy.
01:25:09This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:13Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:17Yes, ma'am.
