Short filmTranscript
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, Kex, how you make me feel.
00:01:13You are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control.
00:01:24My little moon.
00:01:28I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:48I'm gonna claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Hey, Kex, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:31His echo, and his Casey.
00:02:36You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:54I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:08Say I'm the hunnig.
00:03:09My stomach can't work.
00:03:11I can't wait to make you my sister.
00:03:13It's time to wife.
00:03:14And he's no given me.
00:03:16I need champagne in Spain.
00:03:25Now.
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 to the top of the charts,
00:03:46but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:51A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us.
00:03:58Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart, Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:07She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:14I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:17Hope you enjoy.
00:04:27Shit!
00:04:28The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:30I can't let Dex's show get ruined.
00:04:33Echo 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, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:56There.
00:04:57You're 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, and 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, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:18Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:21When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:44Oh my god.
00:05:46These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:48Is Casey Echo?
00:05:59Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:02Play that song!
00:06:03Play 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?
00:06:11I need her.
00:06:12No, Dexter.
00:06:13I'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, can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did.
00:06:42Wait.
00:06:44Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:48Well, Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:07:00Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:19Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:22Uh, and we're back.
00:07:24Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29At least I thought so.
00:07:39Get ready, Dex.
00:07:40The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:48I'm a man I die.
00:07:54I'm a man I die.
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19A secret feeling I'd get out
00:08:21Knowing I was running out of time
00:08:55The time I looked into your eyes
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 to announce our relationship
00:09:41I loved her and she betrayed me
00:09:55Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my god, Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
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
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:46Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:57You promised me
00:11:02That you tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead
00:11:06You propose
00:11:07And put a ring
00:11:09On Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you
00:11:12You gave me no choice
00:11:14I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Oh
00:11:24Okay, I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:26Alright, I don't
00:11:26You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:32What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:38Okay, so-so-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?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know
00:12:16Who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be
00:12:20A 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?
00:12:44Hmm?
00:12:46This
00:12:47Is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first little 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
00:13:03Give it back
00:13:04Ow!
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:07Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't
00:13:09I know who you are anymore
00:13:11Dexy, 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
00:13:43But Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:51So please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:54Okay, 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
00:14:22We'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
00:15:06I gave Dex
00:15:07I gave Dex 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 and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:26Okay, I'm sorry
00:15:28What are you doing?
00:15:39What are you doing?
00:15:50Scarlet, we won't hurt you.
00:15:52We're your friends, too.
00:15:54We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
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.
00:16:09I 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 is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room, come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:38Choose your little assistant and 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.
00:16:54Get 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.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him too?
00:17:17God.
00:17:18Our precious Dexter.
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:26You don't deserve to live.
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:30So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true.
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:40You're psychotic.
00:17:42No, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:48single on our new album.
00:17:51You're crazier than they are.
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey.
00:17:59Dexter.
00:18:06Dexter.
00:18:06Casey.
00:18:09Dexter.
00:18:10Dexter.
00:18:11Dexter.
00:18:11Dexter, help me.
00:18:12They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We...
00:18:22We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works.
00:18:37Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now.
00:18:41You can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:49Do they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will 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 don't choose 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.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead.
00:19:31Make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter.
00:19:35Dexter, please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:39You dumped her.
00:19:40You chose me.
00:19:41Don't let them murder me.
00:19:42That's enough.
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice.
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute.
00:20:10You told me that I...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now 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, no.
00:20:27I 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.
00:20:43Hey, throw up the gun!
00:20:54Let's go.
00:20:55Let's go.
00:20:55Let's go.
00:20:56Okay.
00:20:56Oh, God.
00:20:57Okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:00All right.
00:21:04It's gonna be okay.
00:21:06You left me to die.
00:21:08And for the record, I 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, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow decks.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:31Casey, Casey, Casey, hey.
00:21:40Casey.
00:21:42Casey, 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.
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:54You're delusional.
00:21:55He doesn't need you.
00:21:56He has Echo.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Sure he does.
00:22:01Fame 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.
00:22:17I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:26No.
00:22:27Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's...
00:22:55That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:59So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:06Take me home.
00:23:20Oh, son!
00:23:21I was trying to...
00:23:24Casey!
00:23:25I was trying to...
00:23:27I was trying to...
00:23:28Casey, hi!
00:23:30If you were...
00:23:36Casey!
00:23:40Casey!
00:23:41Casey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet.
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:53And 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.
00:24:03Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:10She's been lying to you this entire time. All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, Princess.
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:45Records.
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:00My back is pressed.
00:25:09My back is pressed.
00:25:16No-no!
00:25:19Ok.
00:25:20Guys.
00:25:20Cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys.
00:25:28We have one week, alright, to 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 your new assistant.
00:26:02He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last saved by Max.
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, listen.
00:26:23It's dead, and I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screamed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
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.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19All right, 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.
00:27:44An 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.
00:27:59Okay, 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.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:24a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go, and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:51Or her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:02I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:13How 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.
00:29:27Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I 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!
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:36Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her. And 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, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:25hit.
00:31:41Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is for the
00:31:48elite 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. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:00Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave 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. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want. But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:49Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm. They got that right. Hmm. Is that so? Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me? Who's putting on
00:33:08an actor?
00:33:11Is it you? How dare you?
00:33:17Careful. The 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 and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:30-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me? I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star. And if you so much as threaten me or my
00:33:38career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking hard your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces
00:33:43in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed. Hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:11daughter.
00:34:12Ah, the heiress to the Reed Records fortune.
00:34:15Eh, well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet
00:34:19Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:28I think we could really make something special, you know.
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, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:43make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself? The new CEO is already here.
00:34:51The new CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO, the new
00:34:54CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO, the new CEO.
00:35:05Ah, I, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:13that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But 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. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm going to 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.
00:36:00Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:07Okay, 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.
00:36:22Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:43But 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, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:55on one of them.
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through her mind.
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 going to call us on stage.
00:37:12All right, this is it.
00:37:13He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:15I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire and the new CEO of Reed Records, my
00:37:25princess, and the light of my life, my daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:35What?
00:37:37No.
00:37:41No.
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, insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face.
00:38:19She just committed career suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour.
00:38:25Ugh, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad, this is too much.
00:38:31Well, something from the 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.
00:38:42I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but 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.
00:38:51This whole time, she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:59How could I be so blind?
00:39:08What suits you?
00:39:10Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:31I just...
00:39:32I still miss you.
00:39:43Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:52But 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, I promise...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back after finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:16You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:18I lied?
00:40:19Yeah.
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 loved you, Dexter.
00:40:48You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:53Wait.
00:40:58This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:01Why you left me for dead.
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:08Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:12The fortune.
00:41:13The fans.
00:41:14No, no.
00:41:14No, no, no.
00:41:15Actually, I think it'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 will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:40Effective immediately.
00:41:42Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:48You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:53Because if I didn't, I 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.
00:42:00I don't care about that.
00:42:00I've always loved you.
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:42:05She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:10Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:11She can produce...
00:42:13Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed 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, all right?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this.
00:42:50I have known you for years.
00:42:55I thought you'd say the same all of those years.
00:43:17I'm still missing you, and I'm still, and I'm still missing you.
00:43:36I'm still missing you, and I'm still, and I'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 Reed Records.
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:05I 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.
00:44:19Let's not talk.
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:32Your 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 about 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 what we had.
00:45:08I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:18But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:25I don't care about 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.
00:45:30If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:40We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:14I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did, why 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 Skullet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months, the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47He'll hurt you.
00:46:48No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey!
00:46:58Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:17Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha 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, but you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:33They're a big hit online.
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Well, hired to be blown away.
00:47:43Actually, I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:52But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:24But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:34Exposing asshole 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.
00:48:49You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silker?
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 won't need a label to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can read records for 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 to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slutt your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's gonna have no choice.
00:49:30Just 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'll break your fucking hands!
00:49:44Dexter 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 try, sweetheart.
00:49:59You'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 kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19Her name is KC Ring.
00:50:22And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:28Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:30I'm not sure of that.
00:50:33Let's go.
00:50:40Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:53KC, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:54Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:56My business is none of your concern.
00:50:59If I didn't show up tonight, what 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!
00:51:05Okay!
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.
00:51:15Okay?
00:51:16So stop following me.
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:26I'll stop following you the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made up for all the danger I put her in.
00:51:38You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Yes.
00:51:44Won't your fiancee be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:53I 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?
00:52:10Isn't that the point?
00:52:13So, 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.
00:52:31You were never the side piece.
00:52:34And you know it.
00:52:45Boss!
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:48Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:53Please, stop following me.
00:52:58Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15I've done 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, or brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:29I'm gonna 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.
00:53:55Who 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?
00:54:14For me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16Maybe.
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 gonna 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 gonna go as Echo, oh, you're gonna do it right.
00:55:39With 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!
00:56:07It's so good to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:13Yes.
00:56:15My 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.
00:56:48Ugh.
00:56:49It's you.
00:56:50Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:55You'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.
00:57:17Hmm.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31I-
00:57:31In that case.
00:57:33You should have this.
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Oh!
00:57:58Are 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.
00:58:07D-D-Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my God.
00:58:11Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:14You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes.
00:58:15Of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:23It's all yours now.
00:58:24Oh!
00:58:32Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:40Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used this on her last album.
00:58:48This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:54Actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies?
00:59:08My apologies.
00:59:08Apologies.
00:59:09But there's nothing more I can...
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look.
00:59:13We 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 gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
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 Beyonce.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:50Mom, 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, 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 Ms. 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.
01:00:29Ms. 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 at all.
01:00:55But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter, are you insane? She's not even a real musician and you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay. Scarlett could have it for free. As long as she shows us the big hit that she's
01:01:18working on.
01:01:19Ah!
01:01:22Casey, I am not stooping to your level. And besides, we're late for hair and makeup. I will talk to
01:01:28you about this later.
01:01:29Come here.
01:01:31You will regret this. Casey has done nothing but ruin you. She's just a pretty face with no talent to
01:01:39back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:46Hi.
01:01:47One, I'm not your assistant anymore. It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:54Two, my birthday was months ago. Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett, so your gift means nothing.
01:02:03Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:10Secret?
01:02:11Secret? What are you talking about? What 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. I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:45to her collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:58But Dexter, you can't do this. I love you!
01:03:14Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song. It's exactly what you deserve. The world
01:03:27needs 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. It's time. Let'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. Her 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. I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people
01:04:10with actual talent perform when you yourself have none.
01:04:15Mmm. I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:19Oh. Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:24Break a leg, Scarlet. Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down. The track's gone completely white.
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version. I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject
01:05:09tracks. Go fix this. Now.
01:05:14This is bad. Alright. Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:17We're gonna burn the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us. What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea. You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes. It's true. I'm Echo. The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead. Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:53Come on. You're a genius producer, right? I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents. I mean,
01:05:59the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do. This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file I can play. I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:06:12Of course. Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done. The show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try. Scarlet's proven herself enough. You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay. Can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle? And can you pan from stage left to
01:06:49stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn. I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way. That means recording the instruments live looping
01:07:05them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her. She 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 her.
01:07:18Scarlet. Scarlet. Why would Casey do that? For real. Okay. You're...
01:07:21You're Echo. Okay? So, just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah. Come on, Echo. What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet! You are our only hope now. You 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... I actually would, gladly. But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:57Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:08:01Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay? Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track. It's that simple. You know how
01:08:13to 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. I 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! You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:35You're really gonna give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're gonna throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:43That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years? Yeah.
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
01:10:03Read Records.
01:10:06Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes! Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:10:12Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving the song. Now it's over. It'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- there's no other-
01:10:40Moves!
01:10:40Hey!
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 of 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 Read Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:21Everyone, we're about to watch the Read 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.
01:11:45I 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.
01:12:16Let's fucking go!
01:12:38Let's fucking go!
01:12:39You wanna go ahead and take over?
01:12:40I-I-I can't.
01:12:42I don't have-
01:12:42But-
01:12:43You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Then when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds, it's familiar.
01:12:58You 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, Scarlet?
01:13:32Don't listen to her!
01:13:34I'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.
01:14:03So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're gonna 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?
01:14:25And...
01:14:26I 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 Scarlet 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 Scarlet could finish the album.
01:14:47And Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:49So...
01:14:50What 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.
01:15:08And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:12Apologize 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, Scarlet.
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...
01:15:35That's not what I really meant!
01:15:38Dexter...
01:15:38She manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiancé!
01:15:41You believe-
01:15:42Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see!
01:15:44You fucking brought and you're a damn liar!
01:15:48Casey 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.
01:15:57Or 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?
01:16:28Terminating your contract.
01:16:29And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:31Tour is over.
01:16:32No!
01:16:32No!
01:16:33No!
01:16:35No!
01:16:38No!
01:16:38No!
01:16:38I got yourself a deal of case.
01:16:40No!
01:16:44No!
01:17:09I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:15Your name's on fire in my veins.
01:17:22It's burning through my chains.
01:17:27Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:32Who am I to look like?
01:17:37This mirror shows a thousand faces.
01:17:41But you're not up in Kimba.
01:17:44You're not up in Kimba.
01:17:45Oh, yeah.
01:18:48And my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry.
01:18:52And we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:58You arrogant fucking whore.
01:19:01You ruined everything.
01:19:05Dexter was going to be mine.
01:19:07I was going to 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.
01:19:25Kese!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:31No!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:39Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh, my God!
01:19:46Hey.
01:19:47Hey.
01:19:47Hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:54Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:57As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so.
01:20:02But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save 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?
01:20:18Listen, but 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.
01:20:41Hmm?
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.
01:21:35Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
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.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I 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...
01:22:44I 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.
01:22:56Listen.
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.
01:23:12Something 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, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
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.
01:24:08You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:18Which...
01:24:20Reminds 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 songwrite 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.
01:25:25I love you.
01:25:27I love you, too.
01:25:41This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:05But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:35Yes, ma'am.
01:26:37Every time I remember to smile, I imagine we're way together.
01:26:57The things goes on.
01:27:02The stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking.
01:27:07And we're all due.
01:27:11I was the fool who I hated.
01:27:14Now I'm recreated.
01:27:17Every time I look at the moonfall.
01:27:21I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see
01:27:30That it's time for you and me
01:27:35It's the best so far
01:27:39We just let on
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:49I forget where I am
01:27:52Just let on
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:58I dream of a night
01:28:01That's lost forever
01:28:02Yeah, yeah
01:28:08I'm taking and talking
01:28:11But I will be watching
01:28:13Yeah, yeah
01:28:18The mirror in heaven
01:28:20My heart is still beating
01:28:22Every time I remember to smile
01:28:27I imagine the world
01:28:29We're together
01:28:30Yeah, yeah
01:28:38I'm trying to show you
