00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:00Okay.
00:02:10Hey, Keyes.
00:02:11Um.
00:02:12What's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just…
00:02:15What are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing.
00:02:18It's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too
00:02:24Once he finishes this concert
00:02:26The Echo mask will come off
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me
00:02:31His Echo
00:02:32And his Casey
00:02:34Thank you
00:02:36You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight
00:02:38Like always
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife
00:03:26And now
00:03:27For the star of our show
00:03:29The world's hottest pop star
00:03:32And my soulmate
00:03:33Dexter Hayes
00:03:38Wait for me, right here
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket
00:03:45To the top of the charts
00:03:46But I'll never lock him down
00:03:48As long as he's in bed
00:03:49With his grumpy assistant
00:03:51A round of applause
00:03:52For Scarlet Heart, everybody
00:03:57Fans already love us
00:03:58Dexter Hayes
00:03:59You will be mine
00:04:03Scarlet Heart
00:04:04Dexter Hayes groupie
00:04:05Turned wannabe pop queen
00:04:06She's always throwing herself
00:04:09At my boyfriend
00:04:09Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight
00:04:11She'll finally take the hint
00:04:14I've got a really special one
00:04:16For y'all tonight
00:04:17Hope you enjoy
00:04:27Shit
00:04:28The backing mix is corrupted
00:04:30I can't let Dexter's show get ruined
00:04:32Echo can fix this
00:04:37Are you here?
00:04:38I need your help
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes
00:04:50So I'll be right back
00:04:56There, your gear from the studio
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad, we've talked about this
00:05:03In public, I am not your daughter
00:05:05And I'm not Echo
00:05:06But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him
00:05:09You made him the star he is
00:05:13I'm telling him tonight
00:05:14But for now
00:05:15I have a tractor remix
00:05:17Oh, that's my girl
00:05:22When Dexter sees this
00:05:23He'll dump that little cheater
00:05:25And run straight into my arms
00:05:45Oh my god
00:05:45These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs
00:05:48Is Casey... Echo?
00:06:00Time to save Dex's concert
00:06:01Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:05God, where's Casey?
00:06:06She said she'd stay right here
00:06:07The show is a disaster
00:06:09The fans are waiting
00:06:10Can you please find her? I need her
00:06:11No, Dexter
00:06:14I'm the one you need
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:30Are you her?
00:06:35Listen
00:06:35Can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did
00:06:42Wait
00:06:44Dexter, there's
00:06:45One more thing I should probably show you
00:06:49Casey has been hiding another man
00:06:57All those secret phone calls
00:06:59Dodged questions
00:07:00Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter
00:07:04I'm so sorry
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you
00:07:10Thanks
00:07:19Wait
00:07:19Didn't Echo just make the new track?
00:07:22Uh, and we're back
00:07:23Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life
00:07:29At least I thought so
00:07:39Get ready, Dex
00:07:40We'll mix
00:07:41Your next big single
00:07:42Is coming to you in
00:07:43Three
00:07:44Two
00:07:45One
00:07:48I'm a man as I'm
00:08:06Every time I look at
00:08:10Remember the time I saw you, I
00:08:13One thing through a memory of mine
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19The secret feeling I gave out
00:08:21Knowing I was right at our time
00:08:58The secret feeling I gave out
00:09:14How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:35He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:38To announce our relationship
00:09:41I loved her
00:09:42And she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my god!
00:09:56Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:02Oh my god!
00:10:07Dexie!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:14I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:22But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33All right, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:59You promised me
00:11:01You promised me
00:11:02That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:15I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Okay, I owe her
00:11:26All right, I don't
00:11:26You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:11:32What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:39Okay, so that's why
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is
00:11:58You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:09Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:23To please your adoring fans?
00:12:25To boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:37Just
00:12:38Your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This
00:12:46Is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:53That's my notebook
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius
00:13:00And you're just
00:13:01Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:03Get back
00:13:04Ow!
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me
00:13:07See what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't
00:13:09I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:12Dexy, baby
00:13:14I know
00:13:14All about girls like her
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you
00:13:22She has been for years
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:31Okay?
00:13:32Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car
00:13:37Please
00:13:43Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:50So, please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:53Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:00Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:21We're over
00:14:23Dex
00:14:27Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dexter everything
00:15:08I made his career, but
00:15:11He doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:13What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart
00:15:17She stole him
00:15:19And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:27Casey
00:15:27Casey, where are you?
00:15:39Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:50We won't hurt you
00:15:52We're your friends, too
00:15:53We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him
00:16:11We were in love
00:16:12Or I thought we were
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:21Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room
00:16:33Come alone
00:16:34Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:37And we'll spare them
00:16:38Choose your little assistant
00:16:40And they both die
00:16:43You've reached Casey
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert
00:16:53Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:57Dexter is coming
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:09Obviously not
00:17:10She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:14You fucked him, too?
00:17:16God, our precious Dexter
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:25You don't deserve to live
00:17:27No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:30So, if Casey dies
00:17:33Then the truth dies with her
00:17:35That's not true
00:17:36First you steal my identity
00:17:39Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:40You're psychotic
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey
00:17:43If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:46And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:51You're crazier than they are
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey
00:18:06Dexter
00:18:06Dexter
00:18:08Dexter
00:18:09Dexter
00:18:09Dexter
00:18:10Dexter
00:18:10Dexter, help me
00:18:12They hit me
00:18:13And then they tied me up
00:18:14And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:22We can't do that, Dexter
00:18:23We're your biggest fans
00:18:26We're doing this for you
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me
00:18:30All right
00:18:31You'll put the gun down
00:18:32And then let these two go
00:18:33Please
00:18:34No, that's not how this works
00:18:36Dexie
00:18:37You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:40We're engaged now
00:18:42You can't let me die
00:18:43Dex
00:18:44All the love we ever had
00:18:46All the memories
00:18:47All the I love you's you told me
00:18:49Did they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live
00:18:53Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I told you Scarlet, then they both die
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade
00:19:27If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:30Go ahead, make your choice
00:19:32Choose now or they both die
00:19:34Dexter
00:19:35Dexter, please
00:19:36Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:38You dumped her
00:19:40You chose me
00:19:41Don't let them murder me
00:19:42That team up
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three
00:19:47Two
00:19:48One
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:52Scarlet, alright?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet
00:19:59Dexter
00:20:00I'm gonna faint
00:20:02I was so scared
00:20:03He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:09Now wait a minute, you told me that
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:13Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no
00:20:26I guess this is the end
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:36Put the gun down
00:20:39Put the gun down
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:42Hey, drop the gun
00:20:54Let's go, let's go
00:20:55Okay
00:21:03It's gonna be okay
00:21:04Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die
00:21:07And for the record
00:21:09I never needed your money
00:21:11I was right to walk away
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:17Look, Casey
00:21:18You don't understand, alright?
00:21:19They were gonna make me
00:21:20I'm done
00:21:22Living in your shadow, Dex
00:21:24Goodbye
00:21:30Casey, Casey
00:21:32Hey
00:21:40Casey
00:21:41Casey, stop
00:21:43Please, stop
00:21:43Please, please
00:21:44We're gonna go
00:21:45Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:50Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:53You're delusional
00:21:55He doesn't need you
00:21:56He has Echo
00:21:57Yeah
00:21:59Sure he does
00:22:00Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:16I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:22You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to
00:22:53Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:59I'm so sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:23:04You're here now
00:23:06Take me home
00:23:22I was trying to
00:23:24I was trying to
00:23:28I was trying to
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:40Casey!
00:23:41Casey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes
00:23:50You should have seen it
00:23:51I almost died
00:23:52And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first
00:24:02Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power
00:24:15I thought Casey loved me
00:24:17But the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records
00:24:27Forget him princess, hmm?
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:24:42Announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are
00:25:01My back is pressed
00:25:09My back is pressed
00:25:11My back is pressed
00:25:16No, no!
00:25:18Okay, guys, cut the track
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, alright?
00:25:30To finish this song before the release
00:25:32The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask
00:25:45Are you really Echo?
00:25:51Are you really Echo?
00:25:55Dexy
00:25:57Of course I am
00:25:59It's just
00:26:01Your new assistant
00:26:02He's been messing
00:26:03He's messing with my tracks
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album
00:26:08I mean, look

00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please
00:26:22Listen
00:26:23It's Dexter
00:26:24And I'm sorry
00:26:25But my last assistant would've never screamed me over like that
00:26:29You're fired
00:26:37Let's do it again
00:26:53Let's do it again
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here
00:27:13We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on
00:27:22So why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got
00:27:43An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested
00:27:58Okay, we have a song to finish
00:28:00Dexter
00:28:02You said it yourself
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours
00:28:04We have to go
00:28:06This is a personal invitation
00:28:07From Mr. Ed Reed himself
00:28:11Okay, look
00:28:14I know what you're thinking
00:28:15But Casey probably meant nothing to him
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive
00:28:19I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants
00:28:22Lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks
00:28:25You have to go
00:28:26And you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right
00:28:34Of course I am
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple
00:28:39So now
00:28:40Forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:43And start getting ready
00:28:44I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:48Her coarse, tangled hair
00:28:52Her dull, crusty skin
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes
00:29:01I'm Echo
00:29:02I'm the Reed heiress
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine
00:29:17How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:31I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:35The heiress to the Reed merchant
00:29:38Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know, Ed
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:44I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album
00:29:51Look! Here she is now!
00:30:03No fucking way!
00:30:06No fucking way!
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey Dex
00:30:36Long time no see
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:43I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:46So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side
00:31:16And our album will go straight to number one
00:31:19She's right
00:31:20I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit
00:31:41Scarlet!
00:31:42What a terrible surprise
00:31:43I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers
00:31:53But the party's just getting started
00:31:55I can't miss the big announcement
00:32:00Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed
00:32:08So don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:10And don't distract Dexter tonight
00:32:12Leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:16I'd love to see you try
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him and those feelings don't just go away
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:31You can dress up all you want
00:32:33But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl
00:32:39I thought she was someone important
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Hart
00:32:47I would never emotionally recover
00:32:49Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men
00:32:54Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:58Hmm
00:32:58They got that right
00:32:59Hmm
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money
00:33:27And no connections besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:31But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again
00:33:39I will get you cancelled so fucking hard
00:33:41Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:46Mr. Reed!
00:33:47Hi, uh, Dexter Hayes
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:51You've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:55Well, I would really love to put that, um
00:33:57Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:34:00Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can
00:34:03Got you
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:07When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:12Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune
00:34:14Well, you know, sir, um, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I
00:34:20are working on
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:25You're a musical genius over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:34And you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:41I, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here
00:35:01Casey
00:35:03Casey, Casey, Casey
00:35:06Casey
00:35:08Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:12And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:19For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:21But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:29What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only
00:35:39Yeah
00:35:41Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:52night
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now
00:35:59Yeah, right
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO
00:36:05You have no power here
00:36:08Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex
00:36:18You forgot to say please
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen
00:36:31It's time to announce tonight's special guest
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world
00:36:42But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano
00:36:51Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us
00:37:10He's gonna call us on stage
00:37:11All right, this is it
00:37:13He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records
00:37:15I want to introduce
00:37:18The heir to my billion dollar music empire
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records
00:37:24My princess
00:37:27In the light of my life
00:37:28My daughter
00:37:30Casey Reed
00:37:35What?
00:37:37What?
00:37:40No!
00:37:49Casey
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit!
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby
00:38:10She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:20She just committed career suicide
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold
00:38:29Dad, this is too much
00:38:31A little something from your old man
00:38:33And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold
00:38:36This cannot be happening
00:38:38She's a nobody
00:38:41I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me
00:38:44But I didn't know she was hiding who she was
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy
00:38:49He was her father
00:38:50This whole time she was with me for love, not fame
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth
00:38:56And instead of trusting her
00:38:57I left her for another woman
00:38:59How could I be so blind?
00:39:09Suits you?
00:39:11The guitar and the CEO title
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I just...
00:39:30I still miss you
00:39:31I just...
00:39:32I still miss you
00:39:42Agh!
00:39:43Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt
00:39:51But I mean, you of all people should know
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that's not why I'm here
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand
00:40:16You're the one who lied to me
00:40:18I lied
00:40:18Yeah?
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen!
00:40:26You have to believe me, please
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing
00:40:32I guess, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:35Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, tank your career
00:40:43I made his career
00:40:46I...
00:40:46Loved you
00:40:48Dexter
00:40:48You might have found out who my father is today
00:40:51But you still have no idea who I am
00:40:54Wait...
00:40:58This...
00:40:58This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:02Why...
00:41:02You left...
00:41:04Me...
00:41:04For dead
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad
00:41:08Threw me to the curb
00:41:10For the fame
00:41:11The fortune
00:41:13The fans
00:41:13No, no, please
00:41:14No, no, no, no
00:41:15Actually, I think
00:41:16It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun
00:41:28Reed Records
00:41:29Will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes
00:41:33And dropping him as an artist
00:41:40Effective immediately
00:41:41Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
00:41:47You know, I am so glad
00:41:51I never told you who I really was
00:41:53Because if I didn't
00:41:54I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me
00:41:57Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this, I don't care about that
00:42:00I've always loved you
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter
00:42:04She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent
00:42:09Scarlet is echo
00:42:11She can produce songs
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts with or without read records
00:42:17Dexter, you don't need her
00:42:19She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does
00:42:22Okay, mom, mom, stop
00:42:24You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this
00:42:50I've known you for years
00:42:55I thought you'd stay the same
00:42:59I thought you'd stay the same
00:42:59All of those years
00:43:04I've broken, they were blamed
00:43:12In a twine
00:43:15Lost in time
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:22I'm still
00:43:24And I'm still
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:54I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Read Records
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me
00:44:04I never gave up on us
00:44:06She's got another truth
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about Dex
00:44:18Fine
00:44:20Let's not talk
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:31Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:44Not anymore
00:44:46I'm your former boss now
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:55I don't give a fuck
00:44:56I don't give a fuck
00:44:56About the contract
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:59I just want you
00:45:00And I know that you want me too
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten
00:45:06What we had
00:45:08I've been trying to
00:45:10But being this close again
00:45:11It feels
00:45:14Impossible
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:17But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:25I don't care
00:45:26I don't care
00:45:27About the fans
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:31If you tell me
00:45:32That you want to be with me
00:45:35We'll be together
00:45:41We can tease each other all day
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46That you
00:45:48Still
00:45:49Love me
00:46:13You're right
00:46:13I am like an instrument
00:46:15The way I let you play me
00:46:17After what you did
00:46:19Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:20Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scalette
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:29Thank you
00:46:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:40I mean
00:46:41We have a Dexter Hay
00:46:42Size hole to fill
00:46:43And he could be the next big thing
00:46:44It's not safe
00:46:45Casey
00:46:45You don't need
00:46:46Him
00:46:48He'll hurt you
00:46:48No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:49I don't think you
00:46:50Of all people
00:46:51Get to tell me
00:46:52What I need
00:46:53Casey
00:46:54Casey
00:46:55Casey has every right
00:46:59To be angry with me
00:47:00After what I did
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02She can trust me again
00:47:10Oh
00:47:12Oh
00:47:15Perfect timing
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable
00:47:17Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice
00:47:19Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:23I've made an exception for you
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means
00:47:30But
00:47:32You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:38Well
00:47:40Hired to be blown away
00:47:42Actually
00:47:43I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:45So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course
00:47:51But
00:47:53You're not in a hurry
00:47:54Why don't we toast first
00:47:55To this potential partnership
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka
00:48:17I do love straight vodka
00:48:22Hmm
00:48:24But you know what I
00:48:27Actually
00:48:29Love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing
00:48:34Asshole pervs
00:48:36My hair
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:47Not so fast
00:48:48You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely
00:48:56And a fraud
00:49:00I'll be sure no label will ever sign you no matter how talented you are
00:49:06I want me to label to sign me
00:49:08Not when I get read records
00:49:09Or myself
00:49:13Don't be shy Casey
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:15The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:17To see my new mistress
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos
00:49:19All over the tabloids
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:23How you slept your way to the top
00:49:26Your poor father
00:49:28He's gonna have no choice
00:49:29But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:32You're delusional
00:49:34Stay away from me
00:49:35You're fine
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off
00:49:42I'm gonna break your fucking hands
00:49:44Extra Hayes
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine
00:49:53What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that
00:49:57I'd love to see you twice when you are
00:49:58You're just a wash up addict
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry
00:50:09Jesus
00:50:10We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:12You kinda wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:16I mean what the fuck
00:50:19The name
00:50:21Is Casey Wee
00:50:22And she's the future of the industry
00:50:24That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:28Your career is dead
00:50:29Sasha
00:50:30I'm not sure of that
00:50:33Let's go
00:50:41Let's go
00:50:44Give me your hand
00:50:45Get me your hand
00:50:53Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:54Sasha Silver is little
00:50:56My business is none of your concern
00:50:58If I didn't show up tonight
00:51:00What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you
00:51:04Yes! Okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:08Newsflash!
00:51:08I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:51:11So it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:51:15So stop following me.
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:26Stop following you the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made it for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:38You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking listen.
00:52:00Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:14So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:26I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:30You were never the side piece.
00:52:34And you know it.
00:52:45Boss, I have news!
00:52:48Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:53Please, stop following me.
00:52:58Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15Done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:20No label, studio, brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rice food's music.
00:53:29I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:38Now, that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:45I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled.
00:53:56Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14Or me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:25The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:32night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:56producer.
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:55:00I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:55:09You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world.
00:55:21Or Dexter.
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:38Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:51You're the best, Dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:13Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:20And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't touch that.
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Yeah, it's you.
00:56:50Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:58I have to ask you to leave now.
00:57:05I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:57:12Because of your nepo-baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:20Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:27Yeah, you're right.
00:57:31In that case, you should have this.
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:51Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar.
00:58:03Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my God.
00:58:11I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:14You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:19I'm just kidding.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better option.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyoncé used this on her last album.
00:58:47This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:55Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar, but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking on the
00:59:23stage.
00:59:26How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:38Hi, Dexy.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just insulted your fiancé.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:49Ma, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do is show her a little respect.
01:00:06You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs, and I'll pay it whatever it is
01:00:27right here and now.
01:00:29Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider it a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:55But I'm someone who cares about you a lot.
01:00:58Why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even a real musician.
01:01:06And you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have it for free.
01:01:15As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:22Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:24And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, mom.
01:01:47One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:54Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:57Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett.
01:01:59So your gift means nothing.
01:02:03Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11What are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:42I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:49Oh, one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:59Dexter, you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:14Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart.
01:03:16You're on in five.
01:03:17The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:25It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:26The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:30I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet.
01:04:05You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:04:13when you yourself have none.
01:04:16I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:20Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:23Wreck-a-legs, Scarlet.
01:04:25Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:57The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:17We're going to ruin the broadcast and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:21What are we going to do?
01:05:22I have an idea.
01:05:25You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:53Come on, you're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:06:04This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done.
01:06:35Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:39Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:47And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn, I guess you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her.
01:07:07She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:07:14If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet.
01:07:19Why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real.
01:07:21Okay, you're Echo.
01:07:22Oh, okay.
01:07:23So, just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:43I could, if I had something other than this shoddy breed records music equipment to work with.
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:55But it's actually your big night, so why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter
01:08:00Hayes a superstar?
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:05Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:27Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:09:18Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage!
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:31Alright, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:42That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:10:03Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:10:09Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:10:12Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving the song.
01:10:17Now it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:33Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:37No, no, there's no, there's no other...
01:10:41Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:51What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard her, Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't?
01:11:12Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:33Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now.
01:11:44I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:51This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:56Lights are low, but I still glow.
01:12:00This morning's got a sting.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:08Now let's make a hit.
01:12:17Let's fucking go.
01:12:33Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:39So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have much.
01:12:43You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Since when has Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds, it's familiar.
01:12:58I mean, you are not the kind for a show.
01:13:03This is not a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:19Casey.
01:13:22You're Echo.
01:13:23Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song.
01:13:28She just ripped it off.
01:13:30Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:32Don't listen to her.
01:13:35I'm Echo.
01:13:38I didn't even make that version.
01:13:40I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:43Go fix this.
01:13:47Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:54She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:55No, that was me.
01:13:57I already did all the work.
01:13:58She's just taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix the track live, Dexter, so that makes it my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:14:14I think you might just be surprised.
01:14:17200 million.
01:14:19200 million?
01:14:21For one song?
01:14:22That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:26And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:29Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album, and Dexter's career could crash and
01:14:49burn.
01:14:49So, what will it be?
01:14:56The clock is ticking.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:01You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:11Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlett?
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo!
01:15:24I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:27They are happy!
01:15:31They are happy!
01:15:34Wait, that's not what I really meant!
01:15:37Dexter!
01:15:39She manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiancé!
01:15:41You believe-
01:15:42Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:45You fucking brought in.
01:15:46You're a damn liar!
01:15:48Cassie is the one who built my career.
01:15:51Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:15:54She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement is off.
01:16:01And so is the record.
01:16:25Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:26The album, terminating your contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:31Tour is over.
01:16:38You got yourself a D.O. case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:53If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:04My back is fast, against the wall.
01:17:10I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:16Your name's on fire in my veins.
01:17:22It's burning for my chains.
01:17:27Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:32Who am I to live like?
01:17:38This mirror shows a thousand faces.
01:17:42But you're not out thinking well.
01:17:46I'm blind.
01:17:49I want you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:18:01I want you to know I'm not.
01:18:01You're not going you're not going to miss.
01:18:04I'm on fire.
01:18:04You're on fire.
01:18:07I can't on fire.
01:18:08I want you there.
01:18:09You're on fire.
01:18:14I want you to know I'm not forward?
01:18:39Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:42Are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself
01:18:49You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo
01:18:58You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way!
01:19:24That won't happen again!
01:19:25Heisei!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:31No!
01:19:33No!
01:19:36No!
01:19:37No!
01:19:39Dex! Dex! Stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my god!
01:19:46Hey!
01:19:47Hey!
01:19:48Hey!
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:06save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:42Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:43The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it, okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:56If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:06Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:20I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:55No.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever.
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:13Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:45And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:48And I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:56Okay.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:19Reminds me.
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:39You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to song write or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08We do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:44I love you too.
01:25:48No.
01:25:48No.
01:25:49No.
01:25:50No.
01:25:59I want you to do it.
