Category
🎥
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. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star 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
00:01:11feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song, and lose control. I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you, and I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you, 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. Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:19It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off, and
00:02:26I 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.
00:03:03What a season!
00:03:07How are you going through?
00:03:09I can totally change, haven't.
00:03:12I can't wait to catch that stage yourself.
00:03:12I can't wait to see this position.
00:03:13I can't wait to see this thing, but I can't wait to see this thing.
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.
00:03:46His frumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of buzz 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.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:14Don't get it!
00:04:16Don't get it!
00:04:17Don't get it!
00:04:18Don't get it!
00:04:19Don't get it!
00:04:20Don't get it!
00:04:20Don't get it!
00:04:21Don't get it!
00:04:23Don't get it!
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dex's show get ruined!
00:04:30Echo 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...
00:04:48I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio!
00:04:56Or 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.
00:05:03But 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 Casey... Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:05:58Play the song! Play the song!
00:06:01God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04Play the song!
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's Nora.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:45Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:53All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:43I'm a man as I, I, I'm a man as I, I, I, I, I, I …
00:08:02Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you, I
00:08:08One thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feel in the gate, I know I was running out of time
00:08:55The secret feel in the gate, I know I was running out of time
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:36I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:50Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:56Yes!
00:09:58Oh my god! Dexie! Yes!
00:10:05Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:24It was all a lie.
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:04Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything.
00:11:13I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her.
00:11:18Oh.
00:11:19Okay? I-I-I-I owe her, alright? I don't-
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan. What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay? So-so-so that's why.
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is. You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done
00:11:57for me.
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:02How could you believe her lies?
00:12:04Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:08You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along? To be a music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans to
00:12:20boost your sales?
00:12:21He could have had that with me.
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:27Isn't it?
00:12:30Not loyalty. Just... your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hmm?
00:12:41This... is my notebook.
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:48That's my notebook.
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius.
00:12:54And you're just... Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Keep it back!
00:12:59Ow! Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:01Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't... I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:06Dexter, baby.
00:13:08I know all about girls like her.
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:17She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this!
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:30Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:37Hey, Casey!
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:45So, please just... just tell me the truth.
00:13:48Okay, right now!
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:54Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:06The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:18Dex.
00:14:21Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything.
00:15:02I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:06He never did.
00:15:08What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:11She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:15I'll come get you.
00:15:21Tacy.
00:15:22Tacy.
00:15:22Tacy, where are you?
00:15:32It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:39Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go.
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:44We won't hurt you.
00:15:45We're your friends, too.
00:15:47We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:50I'm just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:58You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:04We were in love.
00:16:06Or I thought we were.
00:16:08We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:21Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room.
00:16:27Come alone.
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:36You've reached Casey.
00:16:38I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:44Casey?
00:16:45So she never left a concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:50Dexter is coming.
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:54You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:08You fucked him, too?
00:17:10God.
00:17:11Our precious Dexter.
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:15Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:18You don't deserve to live.
00:17:20No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:23So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:28That's not true.
00:17:30First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:33You're psychotic.
00:17:35Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:36If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you,
00:17:39and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:43You're crazier than they are.
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey.
00:17:52Dexter.
00:17:58Dexter.
00:17:59Casey.
00:18:00Dexter, Dexter.
00:18:03Dexter, Dexter, help me.
00:18:04They hit me, and then they tied me up,
00:18:07and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:09Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:11Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:16We're your biggest fans.
00:18:18We're doing this for you.
00:18:20Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:23all right, you'll put the gun down,
00:18:25and then let these two go, please.
00:18:26No, that's not how this works.
00:18:29Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:33We're engaged now.
00:18:34You can't let me die.
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:38all the memories, all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:42do they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live.
00:18:46Will it be your future wife?
00:18:49Or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet,
00:18:57then they both die.
00:18:59I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:00I have to break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:05Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:14And you loved him?
00:19:16You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:22go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:24Choose now or they both die.
00:19:26Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:28Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:30You dumped her.
00:19:32You chose me.
00:19:33Don't let them murder me.
00:19:34That's enough.
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:39two,
00:19:40one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, all right?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet.
00:19:51Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:54I was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute.
00:20:02You told me that I...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate
00:20:09and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:32Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:45Let's go.
00:20:46Let's go.
00:20:47Let's go.
00:20:47Okay.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:50All right.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:53All right.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die.
00:20:59And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:02I was right to walk away.
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:08Look, Casey.
00:21:09You don't understand, all right?
00:21:10They were gonna make me...
00:21:11I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:16Goodbye.
00:21:18Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey.
00:21:23Casey.
00:21:23Hey.
00:21:31Casey.
00:21:33Casey, stop.
00:21:34Please, stop.
00:21:34Please, please.
00:21:35We're gonna go...
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:44You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:47He has Echo.
00:21:48Well, yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:57Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:02Then what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:17No.
00:22:18Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:19I was trying to...
00:22:44Oh my god, that's...
00:22:45That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:50So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:07I was trying to...
00:23:09Dexter, we take a million, We're here for you!
00:23:12You're here for forgive me, you!
00:23:12No, I'm not, you're here for my care!
00:23:14I was trying to have everything you did!
00:23:16You're here for my life!

00:23:33Kaysha!
00:23:34Kaysha!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:41I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Kaysha loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:28Three days from now, at the annual music hall of fame gala.

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