Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:11feel.
00:01:11I know you are my favorite song.
00:01:20Everybody's control. My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:48every interview. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:15Nothing. Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off,
00:02:26and I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:00I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long
00:03:46as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart.
00:04:01Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:14Hope you enjoy.
00:04:15Go, guys!
00:04:16Let's go!
00:04:19Let's go!
00:04:20Let's go!
00:04:21Let's go!
00:04:36Let's go!
00:04:39What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be right
00:04:49back.
00:04:54There.
00:04:54You're Gear from the studio.
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's Gear?
00:04:59Dad!
00:04:59We've talked about this.
00:05:01In public, I am not your daughter and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:12But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh, my God.
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:46Is Casey Echo?
00:05:57Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:02Where's Casey?
00:06:03She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster.
00:06:06The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her?
00:06:08I need her.
00:06:09No, Dexter.
00:06:11I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:27Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's...
00:06:42One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:26At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:37The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44I'm, I'm, I'm a man of time.
00:07:51Woo!
00:07:56Woo!
00:08:01Woo!
00:08:03Woo!
00:08:04Woo!
00:08:06Woo!
00:08:06Remember the time I saw you, I, one thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye,
00:08:15the secret feeling again, I know I was way out of time.
00:08:55I, one thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know
00:09:05I was way out of time.
00:09:26I, one thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know
00:09:35I was way out of time.
00:09:37I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:40I, one thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know
00:09:59I was way out of time, I know I was way out of time.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:25It was all a lie.
00:10:28All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:35heart.
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:05Scarlet Hurt's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you, you, you, you, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything.
00:11:14I loved you, do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her, okay?
00:11:20I, I, I, I owe her, all right?
00:11:21I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Hurt is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:32She made me who I am today.
00:11:34Okay, so, so, so that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Hurt is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is.
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me, and I feel like this is
00:12:00a good start.
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty.
00:12:33Just your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook, full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:49That's my notebook.
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius.
00:12:55And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58I'll give it back.
00:12:59Ow!
00:13:00Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02See what?
00:13:03She's gotten into you.
00:13:04I don't...
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexy, baby.
00:13:09I know all about girls like her.
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:17She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:23Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:38But Casey...
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:45So please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:49Okay, right now.
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:54Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:19Dex.
00:14:22Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything.
00:15:03I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.
00:15:08What happened, Princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:21Casey.
00:15:22Casey, where are you?
00:15:32It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go.
00:15:43Don't worry, Scarlet. We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your fans, too.
00:15:48We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:51We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:59You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him. We were in love.
00:16:06Or I thought we were.
00:16:09We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room. Come alone.
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left a concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:50Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:58Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:08You fucked him too?
00:17:10God.
00:17:11Our precious Dexter.
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:19You don't deserve to live.
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:24So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:28That's not true.
00:17:30First you steal my identity.
00:17:32Now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:34You're psychotic.
00:17:35Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:37If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you.
00:17:40And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey!
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:00Casey!
00:18:01Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:04Dexter, help me!
00:18:05They hit me and then they tied me up.
00:18:07And now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:10Okay guys, let's...
00:18:12Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We...
00:18:15We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:17We're your biggest fans.
00:18:19We're doing this for you.
00:18:21Okay, well, if you love me...
00:18:23Alright?
00:18:24You'll put the gun down and then let these two go.
00:18:26Please.
00:18:27No, that's not how this works.
00:18:30Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:33We're engaged now.
00:18:34You can't let me die.
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me,
00:18:42Do they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live.
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they'd both die.
00:18:59I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:01I have to break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead.
00:19:24Make your choice.
00:19:24Choose now or they both die.
00:19:26Dexter.
00:19:27Dexter, please.
00:19:29Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:31You dumped her.
00:19:32You chose me.
00:19:33Don't let them murder me.
00:19:35That's enough.
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:40two, one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, alright?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:55I was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01But now, wait a minute.
00:20:02You told me that...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate,
00:20:09and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:45Let's go!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:49Okay.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:57Okay?
00:20:58You left me to die!
00:21:00And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:03I was right to walk away, stay good!
00:21:06Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:09Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:11They were gonna make me-
00:21:12I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:17Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey, Casey.
00:21:24Hey.
00:21:32Casey.
00:21:33Casey, stop!
00:21:34Please, stop!
00:21:35Please, please, please.
00:21:36Where are you gonna go?
00:21:37Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:45You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:47He has.
00:21:48Echo.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:52Fame really has changed you.
00:21:54Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:01Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:18No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to-
00:22:45Oh my god, that's- that's- that's- that's- Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:51I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:22:58It's because I didn't know him.
00:23:07I was trying to-
00:23:08You're here now.
00:23:09We're here now.
00:23:13You're here now.
00:23:15Dexter!
00:23:15I'm sorry!
00:23:16You're here now!
00:23:19I was trying to-
00:23:26I'm sorry!
00:23:28Kaysha!
00:23:31Kaysha!
00:23:33Kaysha!
00:23:33Kaysha!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:39Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:42I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:48I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:59Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Kaysha loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18Forget him, princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:36Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:39It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:02My back is pressed.
00:25:09Okay, guys.
00:25:11Cut the track.
00:25:15Damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look guys.
00:25:18We have one week.
00:25:20All right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:27You can't even fix a simple beat? Or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:45Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant, he's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:13So why can't I do the same?
00:27:33Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:51Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:16You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:19He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:30So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:43Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:45Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:54I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:56And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:03How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter.
00:29:26The heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know, Ed.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:35I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look! Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:14What are you stairs?
00:30:17Wh chapters ofΓ£o's ΞΌΞed
00:30:20I can't miss her.
00:30:20K-san?
00:30:28Januaryζ is the most beautiful one.
00:30:31Great-and-Duty?
00:30:32All I did it this round is,
00:30:34Scarlet, I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:55Ignore her.
00:30:57But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:31Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:38But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:53So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records 2?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:02And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:04Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:07I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12You're jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up all you want.
00:32:25But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:36Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:42Probably out-whoring herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:49Hmm.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me who's putting on an act, or...
00:33:01Hmm.
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you!
00:33:08Careful.
00:33:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:13You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:16You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:21-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:26And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:32hard.
00:33:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed.
00:33:38Hi.
00:33:38Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:42You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that, um...
00:33:48Well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:52Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:56Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face.
00:33:58When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter.
00:34:02Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing, and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:19I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make me
00:34:34forever, forever grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:52Casey.
00:34:53Casey.
00:34:54Casey.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:35:04instead you just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:20What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:36You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:43night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:46Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:51Yeah, right.
00:35:52The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:36:00Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:04Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Oh, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:34But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:42Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:54It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:04He's gonna announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:12The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:15My princess.
00:37:17And the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:01She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:04Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad, this is too much.
00:38:21There's something from your old man.
00:38:23And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:41This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:58Suits you?
00:39:01The guitar and CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, look, I just...
00:39:16I just...
00:39:22I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiancΓ©'s wounds?
00:39:36Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:44Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53You're leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand.
00:40:06You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:13I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:15You have to believe me, please.
00:40:17I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:21Just tell me one thing.
00:40:22I guess, why are you here?
00:40:24Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:27Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, tank your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you.
00:40:37Dexter, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:47This...
00:40:48This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:58Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:01The fortune.
00:41:02The fans.
00:41:03No, no, please.
00:41:04No, no, no.
00:41:05Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:11Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:18Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
00:41:37You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:42Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:49I don't care about that.
00:41:50I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:01She can produce songs.
00:42:02Wait, wait, Casey.
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:07Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:13Stop.
00:42:14You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:39I've known you for years.
00:42:42I've known you for years.
00:42:44I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:49All of those years.
00:42:53I've broken their blades.
00:43:06I'm still missing you.
00:43:11I'm still, and I'm still, I'm still missing you.
00:43:43I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:52Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:55She's got another truth.
00:43:57I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:07Fine.
00:44:09Let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiance not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:31I'm your former boss now.
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:39I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:44I just want you.
00:44:45And I know that you want me too.
00:44:48I don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:53I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument, but you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:10I don't care about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:14I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:16If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day.
00:45:29Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:45:57You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument.
00:46:00The way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:06Listen to me.
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:16Hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months.
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million streams.
00:46:25I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:30You don't need him.
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey.
00:46:40Casey!
00:46:42Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:46I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:00Perfect timing.
00:47:01Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:08I've made an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means.
00:47:16But, you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:20I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well, I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:27Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:37But, you're not in a hurry.
00:47:39Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka.
00:48:09But, you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:18Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:20My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then, what, force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:33You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:40Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I can read records for myself.
00:48:57Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:00The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:06Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:08How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:12He's going to have no choice.
00:49:14But to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:17You're delusional.
00:49:18Stay away from me.
00:49:20I'm fine.
00:49:21You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:22Hey!
00:49:23Break your fucking hands off.
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:29Dexter Hayes.
00:49:30Huh?
00:49:31Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine.
00:49:37What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:39I could sue you for that.
00:49:41I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:43You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:53Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:57You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03The name is Casey Ring.
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:12Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:17Let's go.
00:50:25Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:40My business is none of your concern.
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you.
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:49He could have done-
00:50:49Okay!
00:50:50I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:50:55So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:51:00So, stop.
00:51:02Following me.
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:10Stop following you.
00:51:11The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:21You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:28Won't your fiancΓ© be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:42You don't fucking listen.
00:51:44Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:10I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:14You were never the side piece.
00:52:18And you know it.
00:52:28Boss, I have news.
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:36Please, stop following me.
00:52:41Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:54Great timing.
00:52:56As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:13I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:20I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:22Now that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:24Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see.
00:53:37He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled.
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:55Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For me?
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:09The world famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:16night.
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:29Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:39producer.
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:54:44I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world.
00:55:04Or Dexter.
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:18But if you're going to go with Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:34You're the best, Dad.
00:55:49Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged.
00:55:57Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:03And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:06So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:09She's a musical genius.
00:56:11We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:25Please don't touch that.
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:31Ugh.
00:56:31It's you.
00:56:33Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave now.
00:56:48I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:52I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:04I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee and creative collaborator.
00:57:08And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12You're right.
00:57:14In that case, you should have this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:28Oh, my God!
00:57:30What?
00:57:35Oops.
00:57:36Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:38My bad.
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar.
00:57:45Security!
00:57:46Take this woman away!
00:57:48Hold on just one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:57:54I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:56You think you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes.
00:57:58Of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:14Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:18We'll find a better option.
00:58:21Mmm.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27BeyoncΓ© used this on her last album.
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:37Actually, no.
00:58:38Actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:46I'm going to just...
00:58:49My apologies, my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:53We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look.
00:58:55We just want the one guitar.
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:01but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:09How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:21Hi, Dexie.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your fiancΓ©.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:32Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter, the least you could do
00:59:45is show her a little respect.
00:59:48You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:01I knew you would support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs, and I'll pay it, whatever it is,
01:00:10right here and now.
01:00:12Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:22I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:30You did this for me.
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:37But I'm someone who cares about you a lot, and why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter!
01:00:44Are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay.
01:00:56Scarlett could have it for free, as long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:04Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:10I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:13You will regret this.
01:01:16Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:23Thanks, Mom.
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:36Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:39Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:49What secret?
01:01:53Secret?
01:01:53Hold on.
01:01:54What are you talking about?
01:01:55What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No.
01:02:02That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:09But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:25Yeah?
01:02:25I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:28Yes, sir?
01:02:31Oh, I need one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:37Yes, sir?
01:02:40But, Dexter, you can't do this.
01:02:42I love you.
01:02:51I love you.
01:02:56Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five.
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:04Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:07It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:17All right, guys.
01:03:18It's time.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlett!
01:03:34You can't start the show without me.
01:03:40I knew you'd make it.
01:03:41Of course she did.
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:46Dexter, Scarlett.
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:50I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:54when you yourself have none.
01:03:57Mm.
01:03:58I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh.
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wake a leg, Scarlett.
01:04:07Or should I say Echo?
01:04:11Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope you don't choke.
01:04:36The playback's down.
01:04:37The track's gone.
01:04:38Completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version.
01:04:48I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:04:50Go fix this.
01:04:52Now.
01:04:55This is bad.
01:04:56All right.
01:04:56Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58Look, I'm going to broadcast and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:01What are we going to do?
01:05:04I have an idea.
01:05:07Your Echo.
01:05:08Right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:29Go ahead.
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:34Come on.
01:05:34You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:47I must have another file I can play.
01:05:49I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:54Watch me work my magic.
01:06:13And that's how it's done.
01:06:16Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:19Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:21You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:27And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping the...
01:06:45Don't listen to her!
01:06:47She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:54If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage it.
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real.
01:07:01Okay, you're...
01:07:01You're Echo, okay?
01:07:04So, just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:22You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:35But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:37Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:48Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:07:55You really think your fiancΓ©e is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:05I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:58Oh, my God. Is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on, Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:05Get off the stage. You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:11All right, look.
01:09:14It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:43Reed Records.
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:49Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:52Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song.
01:09:56Now, it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:17No, no.
01:10:18There's no, there's, there's no other...
01:10:20Hey!
01:10:21It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:31What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't, will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily.
01:10:57Hmm.
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:17Right now.
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:31This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:35Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:47Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:18So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I can't.
01:12:21I don't have much.
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:32Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:36I mean, you're not the kind for a show.
01:12:41I mean, you're not the kind for a show.
01:12:43This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:58Casey.
01:13:01You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song.
01:13:08She just ripped it off.
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:11Don't listen to her.
01:13:14I'm Echo.
01:13:17I didn't even make that version.
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:35No, that was me.
01:13:36I already did all the work.
01:13:38She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56$200 million.
01:13:58$200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album.
01:14:26And Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:36The clock is ticking.
01:14:39I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:48And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:52That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything!
01:14:57Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:58Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlett?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo!
01:15:03I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:11I was wrong about you.
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:16I'm sorry.
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:23Apologize to her.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlett?
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo!
01:15:35I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:39They are happy!
01:15:42They are happy!
01:15:46Wait, that's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter!
01:15:50She manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiancΓ©!
01:15:53You believe me?
01:15:53Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:56You fucking bought it, and you're a damn liar!
01:16:00Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:16:05She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off, and so is the record.
01:16:36Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album, terminating your contract, and blacknessing you from the industry,
01:16:43career is over.
01:16:49You got yourself a deal case.
01:16:59Hit it.
01:17:05If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:16My back is fast against the wall.
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:26Your name's on fire in my veins.
01:17:33It's burning through my chains.
01:17:38Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:52But you're not open, can't lie
01:17:55come and see you.
01:17:57I've got your own love.
01:17:59I got your own love.
01:18:03I got your own love.
01:18:08Why are you still here?
01:18:13I got you.
01:18:16I got you.
01:18:21What do you mean?
01:18:23I got you.
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:53Are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:57I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next Echo
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore, you ruined everything
01:19:16Dexter was gonna be mine
01:19:18I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world
01:19:30But you have to get in my way
01:19:34That won't happen again
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:50Dex, Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey
01:19:59You've been here all night
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but
01:20:08As soon as I thank him, we can move on
01:20:11You know, if you say so
01:20:12But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together
01:20:35They made millions believe in love
01:20:38Your love
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you
01:20:51Hmm?
01:20:52Maybe your love story isn't over
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives
01:20:56Want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:58And sign him to the label again
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves
01:21:08Dexter's sleeping, but you can see him now
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess
01:21:35It was a close call
01:21:37One centimeter to the right
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore
01:21:43His life might as well be over
01:21:45Oh, hopefully, he'll recover
01:21:48But for now, all he need is rest
01:21:51That's it, okay?
01:21:53Okay
01:21:59What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:07If you don't make it through this
01:22:08I will never forgive you
01:22:12Never
01:22:15Bye
01:22:21I got you, beautiful
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be
01:22:35Casey, I
01:22:36I miss you
01:22:42I miss him, too
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through
01:22:46Can we really be together again?
01:22:50You saved my life, and
01:22:54I will be forever grateful
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free
01:23:02And, um, we can go our separate ways
01:23:04We can end on a high note
01:23:05No
01:23:06No
01:23:09Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet
01:23:41I only did it because I had to
01:23:43They forced you to choose her
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I would never, ever, ever do that to you
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart
01:23:55And I knew that I would lose you
01:23:57And I
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that
01:24:00Than losing your life forever
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter
01:24:09I meant it
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else
01:24:14Me neither
01:24:19You're my little muse
01:24:23My pop star
01:24:27Which
01:24:29Reminds me
01:24:32Reed Records
01:24:34Would like to formally
01:24:35Invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival
01:24:38The Wild Life Festival
01:24:40Is the biggest music stage
01:24:41In the world
01:24:43You saved their CEO
01:24:44You deserve it
01:24:45You're the reason I sing
01:24:47You're the reason I live
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite
01:24:51Or do any of this
01:24:51If I don't have you
01:24:52You
01:24:54You're my world, Casey
01:24:58I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:25:00I know
01:25:01But
01:25:01None of them compare to how I feel
01:25:04I don't want to be with you
01:25:06For just who you are
01:25:07Or what you have
01:25:07Or any of that stuff
01:25:09I don't even want to sing
01:25:10Or have this career
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second
01:25:12If it meant just being with you
01:25:14That's all I need
01:25:18We do it together
01:25:23I don't have a sound
01:25:24Without you, Dexter Hayes
01:25:26Okay
01:25:29I want us to do this together
01:25:34I love you
01:25:37I love you too
01:25:50This is the biggest cry
01:25:52I've ever seen in my life
01:25:55Maybe we better give them
01:25:56One hell of a show
01:25:59Yes, ma'am
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed
01:26:12Who is my echo
01:26:14But more importantly
01:26:15She is undoubtedly the love of my life
01:26:20So I hope you enjoy
01:26:22So I hope you enjoy
01:26:49Every time I remember to smile
01:26:52I imagine a world
01:26:54We're together
01:27:07This goes on
01:27:11The stuff in the stockings
01:27:14But I am still walking
01:27:16But I am still walking
01:27:17You're all
01:27:18Dude
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated
01:27:23Now I'm recreated
01:27:25Every time I
01:27:28Look at the moon
01:27:30For a dream of a night
01:27:32That's lost forever
01:27:35Soon
01:27:36Soon
01:27:37You'll see
01:27:39That it's time
01:27:41For you and me
01:27:44Just a bit
01:27:45So far
01:27:48We're just a little
01:27:54Every time I
01:27:56Look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:01Just a little
01:28:02Yeah
01:28:03Yeah

01:28:26Yeah
01:28:28Mirror in heaven
01:28:29My heart is still breathing
01:28:31Every time I
01:28:34Remember to smile
01:28:36I
01:28:37Imagine
01:28:38We're
01:28:39Together
01:28:39I'm
