00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, where that
00:00:25I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:43We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:01:11How you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:36Because you're already mine.
00:01:40I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:27And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:30His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:35You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:54I'm going to make you my friends.
00:03:01Wayne.
00:03:02He don't call me pregnant.
00:03:03He knows better than I pick a flag from us.
00:03:07I'll miss him for his back.
00:03:10He loved all your way.
00:03:13I'm missing something.
00:03:15I need champagne.
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter
00:03:33Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts.
00:03:45But I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his crumpiest sister.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us.
00:03:57Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart.
00:04:03Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:05She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:08Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:13I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:16Hope you enjoy.
00:04:16Go!
00:04:17Go!
00:04:19Go!
00:04:20Go!
00:04:22Go!
00:04:26Shit!
00:04:27The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:29I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:32Echo can fix this.
00:04:35Are you here?
00:04:37I need your help.
00:04:40What the hell is she up to?
00:04:45Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:50I'll be right back.
00:04:55There.
00:04:56Your gear from the studio.
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad, we've talked about this.
00:05:02In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:05But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:08You made him the star he is.
00:05:11I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:13But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh, my God.
00:05:44These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:47Is Casey Echo?
00:05:58Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01Play that song!
00:06:03God, where's Casey?
00:06:04She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:06The show is a disaster.
00:06:07The fans are waiting.
00:06:08Can you please find her?
00:06:09I need her.
00:06:10No, Dexter.
00:06:12I'm the one you need.
00:06:13What?
00:06:16What?
00:06:16What?
00:06:16What?
00:06:18What?
00:06:18What?
00:06:18What?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:33Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Well, Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:58Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:02Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:04I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:17Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:20Uh, and we're back.
00:07:22Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:08:00One thing to remember.
00:08:01One thing to remember.
00:08:05Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you ride.
00:08:10One thing to remember, the time I looked into your eye.
00:08:17The secret feel in the gate, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:28One thing to remember.
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:19Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hay!
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:38I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:52Oh my god!
00:09:54Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:58Yes!
00:10:00Oh my god!
00:10:05Dexie!
00:10:06Yes!
00:10:08Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:12I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:17No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:27It was all a lie.
00:10:30Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:07Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09Okay, Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:12I gave you everything.
00:11:16I loved you.
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her.
00:11:21Oh.
00:11:21Okay?
00:11:22I owe her, alright?
00:11:23I don't...
00:11:24You owe her?
00:11:26Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:30What has she ever done for you?
00:11:32Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:34She made me who I am today.
00:11:36Okay?
00:11:37So, so, so that's why.
00:11:39What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:50You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is.
00:11:56You know what?
00:11:56I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:01And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:07Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:11You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:15Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:24He could have had that with me.
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:30Isn't it?
00:12:33Not loyalty.
00:12:36Just...
00:12:36Your music.
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:43This is my notebook, full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:51That's my notebook.
00:12:52How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:55I'm a musical genius.
00:12:57And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:00Give it back.
00:13:02I won't.
00:13:02Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:04Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:06I don't...
00:13:07I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:09Dexy, baby.
00:13:11I know all about girls like her.
00:13:14They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:17She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:20She has been for years.
00:13:22Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:27Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:28Okay?
00:13:29Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Go away, Nicole.
00:13:35Please.
00:13:40Casey.
00:13:45Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:48So please just...
00:13:50Just tell me the truth.
00:13:51Okay, right now.
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever.
00:14:00Please.
00:14:01Please.
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:19We're over.
00:14:21Dex.
00:14:25Goodbye.
00:14:26Forever.
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:50Dexter Hayes popped a question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight, and she said yes.
00:15:03Dad, I gave Dex everything.
00:15:05I made his career, but...
00:15:08He doesn't want me.
00:15:09He never did.
00:15:11What happened, princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Hart.
00:15:14She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:18I'll come get you.
00:15:35It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:38Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:43Who are you?
00:15:44Let me go.
00:15:46Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:47We won't hurt you.
00:15:49We're your fans, too.
00:15:51We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:57We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:02You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:08We were in love.
00:16:09Or I thought we were.
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:18is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:24Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room.
00:16:31Come alone.
00:16:32Choose to save Scarlet Hart, and we'll spare them.
00:16:35Choose your little assistant, and they both die.
00:16:40You've reached Casey.
00:16:41I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:44Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:48Casey?
00:16:49So she never left a concert.
00:16:50Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:53Dexter is coming.
00:16:55We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:58You psychos!
00:17:01Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:06Obviously not.
00:17:07She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:11You fucked him, too?
00:17:13God, our precious Dexter.
00:17:17Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:19Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:22You don't deserve to live.
00:17:24No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:27So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:32That's not true.
00:17:33First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:37You're psychotic.
00:17:38Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:40If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you,
00:17:43and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:47You're crazier than they are.
00:17:49Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:55Casey.
00:17:56Dexter.
00:18:02Dexter.
00:18:03Casey.
00:18:04Dexter.
00:18:06Dexter.
00:18:07Dexter.
00:18:08Dexter, help me.
00:18:08They hit me, and then they tied me up,
00:18:11and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:13Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:18We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:20We're your biggest fans.
00:18:22We're doing this for you.
00:18:25Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:27all right, you'll put the gun down,
00:18:29and then let these two go, please.
00:18:30No, that's not how this works.
00:18:33Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:37We're engaged now.
00:18:38You can't let me die.
00:18:40Dex, all the love we ever had,
00:18:42all the memories,
00:18:43all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:46did they mean anything?
00:18:47You must choose one to live.
00:18:50Will it be your future wife?
00:18:53Or your mistress?
00:18:55Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:59They said if I don't choose Scarlet,
00:19:01then they both die.
00:19:02I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:04I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:15You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:19And you loved him?
00:19:21You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:24If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:26go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:28Choose now or they both die.
00:19:30Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:33Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:34You dumped her.
00:19:36You chose me.
00:19:37Don't let them murder me.
00:19:39That's enough.
00:19:40We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:43two,
00:19:44one.
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:49Scarlet, all right?
00:19:50I choose Scarlet.
00:19:56Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:58I was so scared.
00:20:00He chose Scarlet?
00:20:02Good choice.
00:20:03Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:05Now, wait a minute.
00:20:06You told me that...
00:20:07You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:10Now you get to be the one
00:20:11who saved your soulmate
00:20:13and will take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:23I guess this is the end.
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:35Put the gun down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:39Hey, drop the gun.
00:20:50Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:52Okay, oh, come on.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:54All right.
00:20:56Okay.
00:21:00It's gonna be okay.
00:21:01Okay?
00:21:02You left me to die!
00:21:04And for the record,
00:21:05I never needed your money!
00:21:07I was right to walk away,
00:21:09staying with you
00:21:10was the biggest mistake
00:21:11I've ever made!
00:21:13Look, Casey,
00:21:14you don't understand, all right?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm done
00:21:18living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:21Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey, Casey.
00:21:28Hey.
00:21:36Casey.
00:21:37Casey, stop!
00:21:39Please!
00:21:39Please, stop!
00:21:39Please, please.
00:21:40We're gonna go...
00:21:41Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:42without all this?
00:21:43You should be asking yourself
00:21:45that same question.
00:21:47Good luck staying at the top
00:21:48of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:49You're delusional.
00:21:51He doesn't need you.
00:21:52He has Echo.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:55Sure he does.
00:21:56Fame really has changed you,
00:21:59Dexter Hayes.
00:22:03Fame changed me?
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:06Okay.
00:22:07And what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been
00:22:09sneaking around behind my back
00:22:10this whole time.
00:22:13I never betrayed you
00:22:15how you betrayed me
00:22:16by putting that ring
00:22:17on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:19You chose her
00:22:20and you left me for dead!
00:22:22No, Casey,
00:22:23you don't understand.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god,
00:22:50that's Ed Reed,
00:22:51the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:55So sorry it didn't come sooner,
00:22:57baby girl.
00:23:00You're here now.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:14We came from Amelia,
00:23:16we're going to forgive you!
00:23:17We're going to be here!
00:23:19I was trying to...
00:23:20You have everything you wanted!
00:23:21You have everything you wanted!
00:23:22You were mine!
00:23:23I was trying to...
00:23:24Oh!
00:23:25Casey!
00:23:25What do you want?
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:33You have everything you wanted!
00:23:36Casey!
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:39Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlet...
00:23:45Mrs. Hayes...
00:23:46You should have seen it.
00:23:48I almost died.
00:23:49And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:53I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:56She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:59Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:04Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:07She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:09All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:12I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:14But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18No.
00:24:23Forget him, princess.
00:24:25You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:38announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:56My back is pressed.
00:25:04My back is pressed.
00:25:12My back is pressed.
00:25:20My back is pressed.
00:25:27before the release. The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in
00:25:32hours. You can't even fix a simple beat or a key? What's going on? Look, Scarlett, I
00:25:40just gotta ask. Are you really Echo? Are you really Echo?
00:25:52Dexy, of course I am. It's just your new assistant. He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album. I mean, look, last saved by Max. Yeah,
00:26:09that's because you don't know how to. Okay, you know what? Echo would never put her name
00:26:13on garbage like this. Mr. Hayes, please, listen. It's Dexter. And I'm sorry, but my last
00:26:22assistant would have never screwed me over like that. You're fired.
00:26:32See it again.
00:26:49Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:08We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in
00:27:13service. All right, she broke my heart and she moved on. So why can't I do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got. An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year. The Reed
00:27:44Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:52Look, I'm not interested. Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:56Dexter, you said it yourself. They can lay down a track in hours. We have to go. This
00:28:02is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself. Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but
00:28:11Casey probably meant nothing to him. He's a billionaire record executive. I'm sure he
00:28:16has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for a few
00:28:20extra bucks. You have to go and you have to impress him, okay? He could make or break our careers.
00:28:27Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am. We are the industry's it couple. So now forget about that stupid little assistant
00:28:38of yours and start getting ready. I mean, what was so special about her anyway? Her coarse
00:28:45tangled hair or her dull, crusty skin or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:57I'm Echo. I'm the Reed heiress. And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:12How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple? We're honored.
00:29:18And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:22Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records? I hear Ed Reed is introducing the
00:29:29whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed merchant. Do you think she's going to be the
00:29:34new CEO? I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress? She is Ed Reed's daughter. I'll bet she'll be
00:29:41making a very splashy entrance. Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay? She could be our ticket
00:29:46to a number one album. Look, here she is now. No fucking way.
00:30:29Casey? Casey? Hey, Dex. Long time no see. Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking
00:30:41away from him. So why does my heart still ache?
00:31:06You should listen to her, Dexter. All we need to do is get on their good side and our album
00:31:12will go straight to number one.
00:31:14She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:20hit.
00:31:37Scarlet, what a terrible surprise. I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but
00:31:43this party is for the elite of the music industry only. I suggest you wait on the street corner with
00:31:47the other hookers.
00:31:49But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:56Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too? I hear he's much more selective than Ed
00:32:03Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:06And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:11I'd love to see you try.
00:32:16Jealous?
00:32:18I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:25You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:34I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men, just like all of those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm. I got that right.
00:32:55Hmm. Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:00Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:08How dare you?
00:33:12Be careful.
00:33:13The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:17You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:20You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:25-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:26But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:30And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:36hard.
00:33:36Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed, hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:46You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:49Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:58Good.
00:33:59Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:05daughter.
00:34:06Yeah, the heiress to the Reed Wrecker's fortune.
00:34:09Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:14and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:23I think we could really make something special.
00:34:25Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:29And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, I, well, that would make
00:34:38me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:40Well, why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:34:56Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well,
00:35:07I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:24What, you missed me already?
00:35:25Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only.
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:40You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:47night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:54Yeah, right.
00:35:55The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:00You have no power here.
00:36:02Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:08Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:10Oh, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:23Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:32Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:37But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:46Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:51Because she never wanted to gain fame through her mind.
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:58It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:04He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:06All right, this is it.
00:37:08He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:10I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:15The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess.
00:37:21And the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter.
00:37:25Casey Reed.
00:37:29What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:43Casey.
00:38:00That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:02Holy shit.
00:38:03She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:04She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:07Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:10Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face.
00:38:13She just committed career suicide.
00:38:16Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:17For the lady of the hour.
00:38:19Ugh.
00:38:20That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:23Dad.
00:38:24This is too much.
00:38:25There's something from the old man.
00:38:26And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:30This cannot be happening.
00:38:32She's a nobody.
00:38:35I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:41Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:43He was her father.
00:38:44This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:48She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:53How could I be so blind?
00:39:01What suits you?
00:39:04Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:11Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:24I just...
00:39:25I still miss you.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:45But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:49If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:51Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:52Why you want me back?
00:39:53After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57You're leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:03If you just let me tell you, I, I, I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:07I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:11I lied?
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:19You have to believe me, please.
00:40:20I was just trying to...
00:40:22Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:26I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just, is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:34Oh, tank your career.
00:40:35I made his career.
00:40:39I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:41You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:45Wait.
00:40:49This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:54Why you left me for dead.
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:01Threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:06No, no, no, please.
00:41:07No, no, no.
00:41:08Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:21Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:33Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:40You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:45Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:49Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:51None of this.
00:41:52I don't care about that.
00:41:53I've always loved you.
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:56She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:04She can produce new songs.
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:11She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:14Okay, mom, mom, stop.
00:42:17You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:20I'm done talking about this.
00:42:41I've known you for years, I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:51All of those years, I've grown here in the blade.
00:43:04Made a twine, lost in time.
00:43:09I'm still missing you.
00:43:14And I'm still, and I'm still missing you.
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:36I'm still missing you
00:43:45I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:48You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:54Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:56I never gave up on us.
00:43:58She's got another truth.
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:10Fine.
00:44:12Let's not talk.
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:35Not anymore.
00:44:37I'm your former boss now.
00:44:39In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:46I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:48I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:50I just want you.
00:44:51And I know that you want me too.
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:57what we had.
00:44:59I've been trying to,
00:45:01but being this close again,
00:45:03it feels impossible.
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:09But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:17I don't care about the fans.
00:45:19I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:20I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:22If you tell me
00:45:23that you want to be with me,
00:45:26we'll be together.
00:45:31We can tease each other all day.
00:45:33Until you finally admit
00:45:37that you still love me.
00:46:03You're right.
00:46:04I am like an instrument.
00:46:06The way I let you play me.
00:46:08After what you did,
00:46:09why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me.
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you
00:46:14I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:17Hello?
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:22Hold on.
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months
00:46:25the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:28A douchebag with over
00:46:29a hundred million streams.
00:46:31I mean,
00:46:31we have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:33size hole to fill
00:46:34and he could be
00:46:34the next big thing.
00:46:35It's not safe.
00:46:36Casey, you don't need him.
00:46:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:40I don't think you
00:46:41of all people
00:46:42get to tell me
00:46:43what I need.
00:46:44Casey.
00:46:45Casey, Casey.
00:46:48Daisy has every right
00:46:50to be angry with me
00:46:51after what I did.
00:46:52I have to prove
00:46:53she can trust me again.
00:47:05Perfect timing.
00:47:07Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me
00:47:09on self-short notice.
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:11women who speak too much.
00:47:14I've been an exception for you.
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:17in the third person?
00:47:19I don't know
00:47:19what that means.
00:47:21But
00:47:22you want to hear
00:47:23one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online.
00:47:26I'm very excited
00:47:27about a potential partnership.
00:47:28Well,
00:47:30hired to be blown away.
00:47:33Actually,
00:47:34I was hoping for
00:47:34a live performance
00:47:35if you don't mind.
00:47:36So many musicians
00:47:37out there faking
00:47:38their music with AI,
00:47:39you know?
00:47:39Of course.
00:47:42But
00:47:43you're not in a hurry.
00:47:45Why don't we toast first
00:47:45to this potential partnership?
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:06I do love
00:48:08straight vodka.
00:48:15But you know what I
00:48:17actually
00:48:19love
00:48:19even more than that?
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:24asshole pervs.
00:48:26My hair!
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think
00:48:30you can drug me?
00:48:31And then what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you
00:48:33to read records?
00:48:34Now you know
00:48:35who you're dealing with.
00:48:37Not so fast.
00:48:39You thought you could
00:48:39just walk in here
00:48:40and demand a live performance
00:48:41from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look
00:48:44like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely.
00:48:47And a fraud.
00:48:50I'll be sure
00:48:51no label will ever
00:48:52sign you
00:48:53no matter how talented
00:48:54you are.
00:48:56I won't need a label
00:48:57to sign me.
00:48:58Not when I can't
00:48:59read records
00:48:59for myself.
00:49:03Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:04I'm just hoping
00:49:05you get ready.
00:49:06The paparazzi
00:49:06will be here any minute
00:49:07to see my new mistress.
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos
00:49:09all over the tabloids.
00:49:11Everyone will see
00:49:12what a slut you are.
00:49:14How you slept
00:49:14your way to the top.
00:49:16Your poor father.
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:19but to hand you
00:49:21and your company
00:49:21over to me.
00:49:23You're delusional.
00:49:24Stay away from me.
00:49:26I'm fine.
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha
00:49:27that.
00:49:28Hey!
00:49:32I'll break your
00:49:33fucking Haze.
00:49:34Haze.
00:49:35Mr. Hayes.
00:49:35Huh?
00:49:36Are you okay?
00:49:37I'm fine.
00:49:42What the fuck, Haze?
00:49:44I could sue you for that.
00:49:46I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:48You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:50And you do not have
00:49:51a leg to stand on.
00:49:53Okay?
00:49:57Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:59Jesus.
00:50:00We could have produced
00:50:01a sick-ass record together.
00:50:02You kind of wanted to
00:50:03defend this
00:50:04used-up slut.
00:50:06I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:09Her name
00:50:10is Casey Ring.
00:50:12And she's the future
00:50:13of the industry
00:50:14that you want so badly
00:50:16fucking in!
00:50:17Your career is dead,
00:50:19Sasha.
00:50:20I'm not sure of that.
00:50:22Let's go.
00:50:30Let's go.
00:50:34Give me your hand.
00:50:42Casey, I've been telling you
00:50:43for months.
00:50:44Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:45My business
00:50:46is none of your concern.
00:50:48If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:50what the hell do you think
00:50:50would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea
00:50:52what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you.
00:50:54Yes!
00:50:54Okay!
00:50:55I know!
00:50:57Newsflash!
00:50:57I'm not your assistant
00:50:59anymore.
00:51:00So, it's not your concern
00:51:02where I am
00:51:03or what I'm doing.
00:51:04Okay?
00:51:05So, stop
00:51:07following me.
00:51:12The car is still fucking good.
00:51:15I'll stop following you
00:51:17the minute that you
00:51:18stop making stupid
00:51:19fucking decisions.
00:51:22And when I've made up
00:51:23for all the danger
00:51:23I've put her in.
00:51:27You're way
00:51:29too interested
00:51:30in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:33Won't your fiance
00:51:34be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying
00:51:40to tell you
00:51:41for weeks
00:51:42I did not
00:51:43want
00:51:44to marry
00:51:45Scarlet.
00:51:47You don't find
00:51:48nothing.
00:51:49Now you're really
00:51:50starting to piss me off.
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:03So...
00:52:03What am I supposed
00:52:05to do?
00:52:06Pretend she
00:52:07doesn't exist
00:52:09and be
00:52:09the pop star's
00:52:11secret
00:52:12side piece
00:52:13again?
00:52:15I should push him away
00:52:17but I can't deny
00:52:18how much I miss
00:52:19his touch.
00:52:19you were never
00:52:20the side piece.
00:52:23And you know it.
00:52:33Boss!
00:52:34I have news!
00:52:37Thank you
00:52:37for your help
00:52:38today, Dexter.
00:52:41please
00:52:42stop following me
00:52:46or else
00:52:47it's going to get
00:52:48harder and harder
00:52:49to walk away.
00:52:59great timing.
00:53:01As always.
00:53:02Why are you even here?
00:53:04Done what you asked.
00:53:05News of Sasha Silver's
00:53:06fraudulence and drug abuse
00:53:07have been leaked to the press.
00:53:08No label,
00:53:09studio,
00:53:10brand will go
00:53:10anywhere near.
00:53:11His net worth
00:53:12plummeted to zero.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:14Buy all the rice
00:53:15to his music.
00:53:18I'm going to get
00:53:18that Casey as a gift.
00:53:25I heard what happened
00:53:26with Sasha.
00:53:27Now that was way
00:53:27too risky, Casey.
00:53:29Look, I'm far from
00:53:30Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:31but that could have
00:53:32gotten real ugly
00:53:33if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:36There was also
00:53:36a huge leak in the press.
00:53:38All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:39dirty laundry
00:53:40had out for everyone
00:53:41to see.
00:53:42He's been, uh,
00:53:43what do you kids call it?
00:53:43Cancelled.
00:53:44Who took him down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes.
00:53:52He even bought
00:53:53the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:55He can't sing
00:53:56anything anywhere
00:53:57or get sued
00:53:58to hell and back.
00:54:00Dex took down
00:54:01Sasha Silver
00:54:02for me?
00:54:03Maybe.
00:54:04He's not as bad
00:54:05as I thought.
00:54:06Or maybe he should
00:54:07stop interfering
00:54:08himself with my life.
00:54:14The world famous
00:54:15music producer Echo
00:54:16is set to finally
00:54:17reveal their identity
00:54:18at the legendary
00:54:19Universal Music Awards
00:54:20tomorrow night.
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:24She's trying to convince
00:54:25the world she's Echo
00:54:26before it can expose
00:54:27her lies.
00:54:28She can't keep up
00:54:29the act forever.
00:54:30Sooner or later,
00:54:31Dexter will realize
00:54:32she can't even
00:54:32hold a tune.
00:54:33Much less produce
00:54:35a hit track.
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing
00:54:37if she's not Echo.
00:54:38She knows Dexter
00:54:39wouldn't look at her twice,
00:54:41let alone marry her,
00:54:42if she wasn't pretending
00:54:43to be a genius producer.
00:54:45I don't know how she thinks
00:54:46she's going to get away
00:54:46with it.
00:54:49I think it's time
00:54:50the world finds out
00:54:51who the real Echo is.
00:54:57You want to go to the UMAs
00:54:59as Echo?
00:55:00They've invited me
00:55:01every year
00:55:01and I've always refused.
00:55:02I've let this scam
00:55:04go on long enough.
00:55:05It's time the world
00:55:06finds out the truth
00:55:07about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:08The world?
00:55:09Or Dexter?
00:55:13This isn't about him.
00:55:17He made his bed
00:55:18when he proposed
00:55:18to Scarlet.
00:55:19Well, my daughter
00:55:20deserves all the recognition
00:55:21of the world.
00:55:23But if you're going to go
00:55:24as Echo,
00:55:25oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:27With the best equipment
00:55:28money can buy.
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see
00:55:33my princess
00:55:34for the queen that she is.
00:55:39Invest that.
00:55:53Mrs. Hayes,
00:55:55it's so good
00:55:56to see you again.
00:55:59How's Dexter?
00:56:00Engaged.
00:56:02Yes,
00:56:03my future daughter-in-law
00:56:04is performing
00:56:05at the Universal Music Awards
00:56:06tomorrow
00:56:07and I'd like to gift her
00:56:09something to mark
00:56:09the occasion.
00:56:10So none of these
00:56:12mass-produced guitars.
00:56:14She's a musical genius.
00:56:16We need something
00:56:16one of a kind
00:56:17just like her.
00:56:18Of course.
00:56:19I have the perfect gift
00:56:21for her.
00:56:21A custom
00:56:22Fender Signature
00:56:23Stratocaster.
00:56:30Please don't touch that.
00:56:32Those instruments
00:56:33are only for
00:56:33our VIP clientele.
00:56:36Ugh.
00:56:36It's you.
00:56:38Get this
00:56:38career-sabotaging
00:56:40stalker
00:56:41out of here.
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:43You're disturbing
00:56:44our VIP customers.
00:56:46I have to ask you
00:56:47to leave now.
00:56:52I'm the CEO
00:56:54of Reed Records.
00:56:56I have just as much
00:56:58of a right to be here
00:56:59as you.
00:56:59Because of your
00:57:00Nepo Baby connections,
00:57:02we all know money
00:57:03can't buy talent.
00:57:05Hmm.
00:57:05Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:07Excuse me?
00:57:09I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:10fiancee
00:57:11and creative collaborator.
00:57:13And you don't really
00:57:14know anything about music.
00:57:15Yeah.
00:57:17You're right.
00:57:18Uh,
00:57:19in that case,
00:57:20you should have this.
00:57:28No!
00:57:32Oh, my God!
00:57:35What?
00:57:39Oops.
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:42My bad.
00:57:45Are you insane?
00:57:47You just destroyed
00:57:48a million-dollar guitar.
00:57:50Security!
00:57:51Take this woman away!
00:57:53Hold on just one second.
00:57:55Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh, my God.
00:57:58Uh, I need to speak
00:57:59to the owner
00:58:00about an offer.
00:58:01You need to set up for me?
00:58:02Yes, of course,
00:58:03Mr. Hayes.
00:58:07Just kidding.
00:58:07It's all yours now.
00:58:19Scarlett,
00:58:20ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:23We'll find a better option.
00:58:26Mmm.
00:58:30Like this one.
00:58:32Beyoncé used this
00:58:33on her last album.
00:58:35This instrument
00:58:36is worthy of Echo,
00:58:38the genius producer.
00:58:40Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:41Hey, hey.
00:58:42Actually, actually,
00:58:43this guitar
00:58:44is no longer available.
00:58:46In fact,
00:58:47my entire collection
00:58:48is on hold
00:58:48for the new owner.
00:58:50I'm gonna just...
00:58:54my apologies,
00:58:55my apologies,
00:58:55my apologies.
00:58:56No, no, no, no, no, no,
00:58:57no, we saw it first.
00:58:59Look, look,
00:59:00we just want the one guitar.
00:59:02I'm sure we can come
00:59:02to a generous agreement.
00:59:04You could pay all you want
00:59:05for the guitar,
00:59:06but it's not gonna stop
00:59:07Scarlett from choking
00:59:09on the stage.
00:59:14How dare you,
00:59:15you little bitch!
00:59:22That's enough.
00:59:25Hi, Dexie.
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter,
00:59:32she just insulted
00:59:33your Beyoncé.
00:59:35You need to do something.
00:59:36Mom,
00:59:37do you really want
00:59:38to have a conversation
00:59:39right here and now
00:59:40about the current status
00:59:40of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent
00:59:44as a producer
00:59:44is the reason
00:59:45you're as famous
00:59:46as you are, Dexter.
00:59:48The least you could do
00:59:50is show her
00:59:50a little respect.
00:59:53You know,
00:59:54actually,
00:59:55I'm sorry,
00:59:55you're right.
00:59:56I should show respect
00:59:58to the one person
00:59:59who's always been there
01:00:00for me.
01:00:03Please ring up
01:00:03the guitar
01:00:04for Ms. Hunt.
01:00:05I knew you would
01:00:06support me.
01:00:07Mr. Hayes,
01:00:08it's not for sale.
01:00:10You know,
01:00:10why don't you ask
01:00:11the new owner
01:00:12how much it costs
01:00:13and I'll pay it
01:00:14whatever it is
01:00:14right here and now.
01:00:16Ms. Reed,
01:00:18as the new owner
01:00:18of the store,
01:00:19how much would you
01:00:20like to charge
01:00:20the guitar for?
01:00:21Wait, what?
01:00:26I'm sorry,
01:00:27I'm the new owner?
01:00:30Consider a late
01:00:31birthday gift
01:00:32for my former assistant.
01:00:34You did this for me?
01:00:36You really think
01:00:37I need a music store?
01:00:39Well,
01:00:40as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:41you probably don't know.
01:00:42But I'm someone
01:00:43who cares about you a lot.
01:00:45Why the hell not?
01:00:47Dexter,
01:00:48are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even
01:00:51a real musician
01:00:52and you gave her
01:00:54the entire store?
01:00:55You're gonna make us
01:00:57pay her
01:00:58for a guitar?
01:01:00Oh, it's,
01:01:00it's okay.
01:01:01Scarlett could have it
01:01:02for free
01:01:02as long as she shows us
01:01:04the big hit that
01:01:05she's working on.
01:01:08Casey,
01:01:09I am not
01:01:10stooping to your level.
01:01:11And besides,
01:01:12we're late for hair
01:01:13and makeup.
01:01:14I will talk to you
01:01:15about this later.
01:01:18You will regret this.
01:01:20Casey has done
01:01:21nothing but ruin you.
01:01:23She's just a pretty face
01:01:25with no talent
01:01:26to back it up.
01:01:27Thanks, Mom.
01:01:33One,
01:01:34I'm not your assistant
01:01:36anymore.
01:01:37It's Miss Reed
01:01:38and I'm the CEO
01:01:39of Reed Records.
01:01:40Two,
01:01:41my birthday
01:01:42was months ago.
01:01:43Actually,
01:01:44the night that
01:01:44you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:46soap,
01:01:46your gift
01:01:47means nothing.
01:01:50Did you know
01:01:51I was actually
01:01:52going to tell you
01:01:52my secret that night?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Secret?
01:01:58Hold on,
01:01:58what are you talking about?
01:01:59What secret?
01:02:03Should I tell him
01:02:03the truth?
01:02:05No.
01:02:06That I wanted
01:02:07to spend every single day
01:02:08of the rest of my life
01:02:09with you.
01:02:13But not anymore.
01:02:16I don't need you.
01:02:27Don't pay attention
01:02:28to anything she just said.
01:02:29I want you to get
01:02:30the best equipment
01:02:30and the best instruments
01:02:31to her collection.
01:02:32Yes, sir?
01:02:36Oh,
01:02:36one more thing.
01:02:38She's fired.
01:02:41Yes, sir?
01:02:44But,
01:02:45Dexter,
01:02:46you can't do this.
01:02:46I love you.
01:03:00Mr. Hayes,
01:03:01Ms. Hart,
01:03:02you're on in five.
01:03:03The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:07Did you hear that?
01:03:08Millions of fans
01:03:09are going to be hearing
01:03:10your song.
01:03:11It's exactly
01:03:12what you deserve.
01:03:13The world needs
01:03:14to hear your talent.
01:03:16I can't believe
01:03:17I'm about to perform
01:03:18on the Universal Music
01:03:19Awards stage.
01:03:21All right, guys,
01:03:22it's time.
01:03:22Let's go.
01:03:24Scarlet!
01:03:38You can't start
01:03:39the show without me.
01:03:44I knew you'd make it.
01:03:45Of course she did.
01:03:47Her daddy probably
01:03:47got her a ticket
01:03:48after she cried
01:03:49about being left out.
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:52You know,
01:03:52I'm actually surprised
01:03:53you showed up.
01:03:54I thought it would be
01:03:55too painful for you
01:03:56to witness people
01:03:57with actual talent
01:03:58perform when
01:03:59you yourself have none.
01:04:01Mm.
01:04:02I'm getting a lecture
01:04:04about talent from you.
01:04:06Oh,
01:04:07guess we'll see
01:04:07who's real
01:04:08and who's fake tonight.
01:04:10Wreck-a-lake, Scarlet.
01:04:12Or should I say
01:04:13Echo?
01:04:15Don't choke.
01:04:18Hope you don't choke.
01:04:20Hope you don't choke.
01:04:40The playback's down.
01:04:42The track's gone,
01:04:43completely white.
01:04:44You have another version
01:04:45of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make
01:04:51that version.
01:04:52I had to pay Taylor Swift's
01:04:53producer to send me
01:04:54onto her reject tracks.
01:04:55Go fix this.
01:04:56Now.
01:04:59This is bad.
01:05:00All right,
01:05:01everyone's just out there
01:05:01staring at us.
01:05:03We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:04and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:07I have an idea.
01:05:10You're Echo, right?
01:05:22Yes, it's true.
01:05:25I'm Echo,
01:05:27the award-winning producer
01:05:28and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:29longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:31Then prove it.
01:05:33Go ahead.
01:05:34Why don't you mix us
01:05:36a live track
01:05:36right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on.
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean,
01:05:41this is your chance
01:05:42to show off your talents.
01:05:44I mean,
01:05:44the whole world is watching.
01:05:46I don't know what
01:05:47any of these buttons even do.
01:05:49This bitch
01:05:49is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:51I must have another file
01:05:52I can play.
01:05:53I'll just make it look
01:05:54like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:56Of course.
01:05:58Watch me work my magic.
01:06:17And that's how it's done.
01:06:19Show must go on.
01:06:21Nice try.
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:25You can stop
01:06:25with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:28Okay, can you boost the treble
01:06:29on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:30And can you hand
01:06:31from stage left
01:06:33to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:43Damn, I guess you're gonna
01:06:44have to do it
01:06:45the old-fashioned way.
01:06:46That means recording
01:06:47the instruments live,
01:06:48looping the...
01:06:49Don't listen to her!
01:06:51She doesn't know
01:06:51what it takes
01:06:52to make a track
01:06:52of my caliber.
01:06:54And this isn't
01:06:55the first time
01:06:55one of Dexter's tracks
01:06:56have been corrupted.
01:06:58If I didn't know
01:06:59any better,
01:06:59I think you were
01:07:00trying to sabotage it.
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:03why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real?
01:07:05Okay, you're...
01:07:05You're Echo.
01:07:07Okay, so...
01:07:08Just fix the track.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11Come on, Echo.
01:07:13What, you have
01:07:13performance anxiety?
01:07:23You have performance anxiety?
01:07:27I could,
01:07:28if I had something
01:07:29other than this
01:07:30shoddy Reed Records
01:07:31music equipment
01:07:32to work with.
01:07:33Casey,
01:07:34if you're such a genius,
01:07:34why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I...
01:07:37I actually would,
01:07:38gladly,
01:07:38but it's actually
01:07:39your big night,
01:07:40so why don't you
01:07:41show everyone
01:07:42the brilliant Echo
01:07:43and how you made
01:07:43Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Echo!
01:07:48Echo!
01:07:49Echo!
01:07:50Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:53Record some MIDI instruments,
01:07:55lay them down,
01:07:56make a track.
01:07:56It's that simple.
01:07:57You know how to do this.
01:07:59You really think
01:08:00your fiancé
01:08:00is going to be able
01:08:01to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean,
01:08:03if she goes down,
01:08:04you go down with her.
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:09I can't let her expose me.
01:08:10Not when I'm so close
01:08:11to marrying Dexter
01:08:12and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius
01:08:39to make that racket
01:08:40sound like music.
01:08:59Oh, my God.
01:09:03Is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on, Echo.
01:09:07Show them your talent.
01:09:08Keep going.
01:09:09Get off the stage.
01:09:10You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:14All right, look.
01:09:17It's done.
01:09:19You're really going to give up
01:09:20that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away
01:09:23because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am.
01:09:26That whole career
01:09:27that I fought for
01:09:28for however,
01:09:29how many years?
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to
01:09:37once told me
01:09:38that there's a lot more
01:09:39to life than just your career.
01:09:41And who knows,
01:09:42maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:44as a personal assistant
01:09:45for the new CEO
01:09:46of Reed Records.
01:09:49Dexter,
01:09:50stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:52Your entire life's work
01:09:54is on the line.
01:09:55Mom,
01:09:56you heard the track, okay?
01:09:57There's no saving this song.
01:09:59Now, it's over.
01:10:01It's over.
01:10:15Well,
01:10:16I guess it's time
01:10:17for the next act
01:10:18of this show.
01:10:20No, no.
01:10:21There's no,
01:10:22there's no other...
01:10:24Hey!
01:10:24It's time to let
01:10:25a real musician
01:10:26take the stage.
01:10:34What the hell
01:10:35do you think
01:10:36you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:39You heard of Scarlett?
01:10:41I mean,
01:10:42you can stay
01:10:43unless you want to go down
01:10:44as the worst performer
01:10:45in UMA history.
01:10:47If I couldn't mix
01:10:48a whole live track,
01:10:49what makes you think
01:10:49you could?
01:10:50For one,
01:10:51I know what I'm doing.
01:10:53And if you don't?
01:10:55Will you step down
01:10:56as Reed Records CEO
01:10:57if you fail?
01:10:59Happily.
01:11:00Hmm.
01:11:04Everyone,
01:11:04we're about to watch
01:11:05the Reed Records CEO
01:11:07dig her own grave.
01:11:08It seems like Echo
01:11:09is having technical difficulties
01:11:11with her track.
01:11:12Since we're live,
01:11:13let's make something new.
01:11:15Daxter,
01:11:16sing me the first line
01:11:16of your song,
01:11:17just your voice.
01:11:19I know.
01:11:20I know.
01:11:27I am not
01:11:29the kind
01:11:30for a show.
01:11:34This is not
01:11:36a one-time thing.
01:11:38Lights are low,
01:11:40but I still will.
01:11:42This moment's
01:11:44got a sting.
01:11:47Good.
01:11:50Now let's make a hit.
01:11:59Let's fucking go!
01:12:01Ha ha ha!
01:12:16Wait,
01:12:17what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean,
01:12:20you produced this,
01:12:21right?
01:12:21So do you want
01:12:22to go ahead
01:12:22and take over?
01:12:23I can't.
01:12:24I don't have much.
01:12:25You don't need anything
01:12:27except for a band
01:12:28and raw talent.
01:12:29I mean,
01:12:29you are a musician,
01:12:30right?
01:12:35Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:36a musical genius?
01:12:38That sound,
01:12:39it's familiar.
01:12:40You are not
01:12:41the kind
01:12:42for a show.
01:12:45This is not
01:12:47a one-time thing.
01:12:49Stop!
01:12:49Stop it!
01:13:01Casey.
01:13:04You're Echo.
01:13:05Does this mean
01:13:06Casey Reed
01:13:07is Echo?
01:13:09This is my song.
01:13:11She just ripped it off.
01:13:12Who's stealing now,
01:13:13Scarlet?
01:13:14Don't listen to her.
01:13:17I'm Echo.
01:13:20I didn't even
01:13:21make that version.
01:13:22I had to pay
01:13:23Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:24to send me
01:13:24one of her reject tracks.
01:13:26Go fix this.
01:13:29Now everyone
01:13:30knows the truth.
01:13:36She's the one
01:13:36that saved the song.
01:13:37No, that was me.
01:13:39I already did
01:13:40all the work.
01:13:41She's just
01:13:41taking the credit.
01:13:42I had to mix
01:13:43the track live,
01:13:45Dexter,
01:13:45so that makes it
01:13:46my intellectual property.
01:13:48You're welcome
01:13:49to put it on
01:13:49your next album,
01:13:50but you're gonna
01:13:51have to pay me for it.
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think
01:13:54you could afford
01:13:55my fee.
01:13:56I think you might
01:13:57just be surprised.
01:14:00$200 million.
01:14:01$200 million?
01:14:03For one song?
01:14:04That's more than
01:14:05our entire album deal.
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:08And I want
01:14:09my name to be credited.
01:14:12Bad deal,
01:14:13Miss Reed.
01:14:14And one last thing.
01:14:16I want a public
01:14:18apology from
01:14:19Scarlet Hart
01:14:20and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:21That's ridiculous!
01:14:22Why should we
01:14:23apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean,
01:14:25you don't have to.
01:14:26I could just go ahead
01:14:27and leave and then
01:14:27Scarlet could finish
01:14:28the album and
01:14:29Dexter's career
01:14:30could crash and burn.
01:14:31So,
01:14:32what will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking.
01:14:41I was wrong about you.
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:46I'm sorry.
01:14:50And you?
01:14:52Do it.
01:14:53Apologize to her.
01:14:55That bitch!
01:14:56Why do I have to
01:14:56apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything!
01:15:00Come on,
01:15:00let's hear it.
01:15:01Tell the world the truth.
01:15:02Scarlet.
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo.
01:15:06I pretended
01:15:06and I never wrote
01:15:07or produced
01:15:08any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:09They are happy?
01:15:12They are happy?
01:15:15Wait,
01:15:17that's not
01:15:17what I really meant.
01:15:19Dexter,
01:15:20she manipulated me.
01:15:22You're still my fiance.
01:15:23You believe me?
01:15:23Scarlet,
01:15:24you are exactly
01:15:25what we all see.
01:15:26You fucking thought
01:15:27and you're a damn liar.
01:15:30Casey
01:15:30is the one
01:15:31who built my career.
01:15:33Hell,
01:15:33she's the one
01:15:33who saved the damn song.
01:15:35She's the only one
01:15:37who ever cared
01:15:38about me
01:15:38or loved me.
01:15:41Our engagement
01:15:42is off
01:15:42and so is the record.
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:08The album?
01:16:09Terminating a contract
01:16:11and blacklisting you
01:16:12from the industry.
01:16:12The career's over.
01:16:19You got yourself
01:16:20a deal case.
01:16:29Hit it.
01:16:35If we're not here for long
01:16:40Tell me where would we belong
01:16:45My back is pressed against the wall
01:16:51I need you to know
01:16:54I need you to know
01:16:54I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57Your name's on fire
01:17:00In my wings
01:17:03It's burning for my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me why
01:17:14Who am I to tell me why
01:17:17Who am I to live like?
01:17:19This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:22But another thing can burn
01:17:26your love
01:17:40And what I need you to do
01:17:47I need you to tell me
01:17:51about you��
01:17:55вокруг
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:18:46Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way.
01:19:05That won't happen again.
01:19:07Percy!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
01:19:18No!
01:19:20Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:22Oh, my God!
01:19:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:30You've been here all night.
01:19:33You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:39As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:19:42You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:19:47save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now.
01:19:50Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:54Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:58I said, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:09Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:12I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:06It was a close call.
01:21:08One centimeter to the right.
01:21:10He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:11If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Oh, hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:18But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:22That's it.
01:21:29What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:33How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:37If you don't make it through this, I won't never forgive you.
01:21:42Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52I got you, beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:06Casey, I...
01:22:07Casey, I...
01:22:11I miss you.
01:22:13I miss him, too.
01:22:15But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:20You saved my life, and I will be forever grateful.
01:22:30And in return, I'll give you your song for free, and we can go our separate ways.
01:22:35We can end on a high note.
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:12I only did it because I had to.
01:23:14They forced you to choose her.
01:23:16I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:19I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:22I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:24And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:23:45Me neither.
01:23:49You're my little muse.
01:23:53My pop star.
01:23:59Which...
01:24:00Reminds me.
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:09The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:13You saved their CEO.
01:24:16You deserve it.
01:24:16You're the reason I sing.
01:24:19You're the reason I sing.
01:24:20I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:23You...
01:24:25You're my world, Casey.
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:30I know.
01:24:32But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:35I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:39stuff.
01:24:40I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:24:42I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:24:45That's all I need.
01:24:48We do it together.
01:24:54I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:24:57Okay.
01:25:00I want us to do this together.
01:25:05I love you.
01:25:07I love you, too.
01:25:21This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:26Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:30Yes, ma'am.
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:25:45But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:15And the most part I have a dream of is you, and maybe love your life and a little boy.
01:26:26I love you.
01:26:28I love you.
01:26:30I love you.
01:26:31I love you.
01:26:37The waves go down
01:26:41The stuff in the stockings
01:26:44But I am still walking
01:26:47And you're all through
01:26:51Was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreating
01:26:56Every time I look at the moon
01:27:01Fall, I dream of a night
01:27:03That's lost forever
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:09That it's time for you and me
01:27:15Cause the band so far
01:27:19We just let off
01:27:24Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
01:27:31Just let off
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:38I dream of a night
01:27:41That's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:48I'm taking and talking
01:27:50But I will be watching
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:58The mirror in heaven
01:28:00My heart is open
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07I imagine the world
01:28:09We're together
01:28:10She's gereal
01:28:12Me
01:28:17Go away
