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.
00:01:06I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, kids, how you make me feel.
00:01:13I know you are my favorite song, and lose control, my 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 going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm going to kiss you in front of
00:01:47everybody.
00:01:48I'm going to claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Hey, Case, 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.
00:02:24Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off, and I can finally be the real
00:02:30me.
00:02:31His echo, and his Casey.
00:02:36You are going to 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.
00:03:06I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:08I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:11I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:16I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:19I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:20I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:24I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:25I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:27I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:27I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:30I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:32I can't wait to make you my wife.
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.
00:03:52A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us. Dexter 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. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:17Don't get it!
00:04:19Let's go!
00:04:27Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:30I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:37Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:56There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad! We've talked about this. In 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. But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:17Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19Thanks.
00:05:21When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:44Oh my god. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs. Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:59Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:02Play that song! Play that song!
00:06:05God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:07The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:11No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel.
00:06:28Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:35Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did.
00:06:42Wait.
00:06:44Dexter, there's...
00:06:45One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:49Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls, dodged questions? Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:03Dexter, I'm so sorry. I 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, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29How do you set that song?
00:07:39Get ready, Dex. The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:45Yes, we change.
00:07:48servicios, I am
00:07:51for allkat
00:07:54in.
00:07:55Who wants to gast�� months into what other people do
00:08:12do you love?
00:08:13No, no.
00:08:13More than anyone says to me.
00:08:15The time I looked into your eye
00:08:18A secret feeling to get out
00:08:21Knowing I was running out of time
00:08:57The 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
00:09:40I loved her, and she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:05Oh 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
00:10:18Trusted 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'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead, you propose
00:11:07And put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you-you-you gave me no choice
00:11:14I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you
00:11:19Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Okay, I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:25Alright, 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
00:11:52You 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
00:12:29This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:37Just
00:12:38Your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This
00:12:46Is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first 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
00:12:59And 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
00:13:10I know who you are anymore
00:13:11Dexter, baby
00:13:14I know
00:13:14All about girls like her
00:13:16They want fame and money
00:13:18Without 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
00:13:27Scarlet 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
00:13:53Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:04Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:22We're over
00:14:24Dex
00:14:27Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave 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
00:15:18And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:27Pacey
00:15:28Pacey, where are you?
00:15:52Pacey, where are you?
00:15:52fans too. We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart. We're just trying to teach this
00:15:59filthy skink a lesson. We saw you kissing Dexter backstage. You're trying to steal him from his
00:16:07soulmate. I wasn't stealing him. We were in love. Or I thought we were. We'll see about that, won't
00:16:17we? The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you. Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room. Come alone. Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them. Choose your little
00:16:39assistant and they both die. You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey? So she never left a concert. Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:57Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is. You psychos! Are you hoping that he chooses you
00:17:07over his fiance? Obviously not. She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the
00:17:14industry. You fucked him too? God. Our precious Dexter. Soiled by a dirty star fucker. Girls like you
00:17:24don't deserve him. You don't deserve to live. No one knows what the real Echo looks like. So if Casey
00:17:32dies, then the truth dies with her. That's not true. First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get
00:17:40me
00:17:40murdered. You're psychotic. No, don't worry, Casey. If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:46and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album. You're crazier than they are. Who are you
00:17:53calling crazy?
00:17:59Dex? Dex? Dex? Dex? Dex? Dexter? Dexter, Dexter, help me. They hit me and then they tied me up and
00:18:15now they're
00:18:15trying to kill me. Okay guys, let's just put the guns down, okay? We can't do that, Dexter. We're your
00:18:24biggest fans. We're doing this for you. Okay, well if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down
00:18:32and then let these two go, please. No, that's not how this works. Dexie, you would be nothing without
00:18:39Echo. We're engaged now, you can't let me die. Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all
00:18:47the
00:18:47I love yous you told me, did they mean anything? You must choose one to live. Will it be your
00:18:55future
00:18:55wife or your mistress? Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes? They said if I don't
00:19:04choose Scarlet, then they both die. I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart. Which one
00:19:11really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes? You never really loved me, did you? And you loved
00:19:24him? You leeched off him for half a decade. If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your
00:19:31choice. Choose now or they both die. Dexter, Dexter, please. Think of everything I've done
00:19:38for you. You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me. That's enough. We're pulling
00:19:44the trigger in three, two, one. Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing Casey. Scarlet,
00:19:53all right? I choose Scarlet. Dexter, I'm gonna fight. I was so scared. He chose Scarlet? Good
00:20:06choice. Cheating whores deserve to die. Now, wait a minute. You told me that- You made your
00:20:12choice, Dexter Hayes. Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate and we'll take care
00:20:18of your scandalous side piece. No, no, no, no, no, no. I guess this is the end. Goodbye,
00:20:34Dexter. Put the gun down! Put the gun down! Goodbye, Dexter. Hey, drop the gun.
00:20:53Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Okay. Oh, come on. Okay. All right. It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay? You left me to die. And for the record, I never needed your money. I was right to walk
00:21:12away. Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Look, Casey, you don't understand,
00:21:19all right? They were gonna make me- I'm done living in your shadow, Dex. Goodbye.
00:21:25I- Casey. Casey, Casey. Hey. Casey. Casey, stop. Please, stop. Please, please. Where are
00:21:45you gonna go? Okay, what are you gonna do without all this? You should be asking yourself that
00:21:49same question. Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone. You're delusional. He
00:21:55doesn't need you. He has Echo. Yeah. Sure he does. Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:07Fame changed me? Okay. And what about you? You're the one that's been sneaking around behind
00:22:14my back this whole time. I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's
00:22:22finger. You chose her and you left me for dead. No, Casey, you don't understand. I was trying to-
00:22:53Oh my god, that's- that's- that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records. So sorry it didn't come
00:23:00sooner, baby girl. You're here now. Take me home.
00:23:22I was trying to- I was trying to- Casey! Casey! Casey! Casey! Casey! Let 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.
00:24:29You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:38Three 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!
00:25:19Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look guys, we 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?
00:25:40What's going on?
00:25:42Look, Scarlet, 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.
00:26:00It's just...
00:26:01Your 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.
00:26:09I was...
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...
00:26:23I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fine.
00:26:36You're fine.
00:26:37See it again.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:22So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got.
00:27:44An 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.
00:27:58Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:04We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look.
00:28:14I 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?
00:28:52Her 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.
00:29:16How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter.
00:29:35The heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:38Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look! Here she is now!
00:30:03No fucking way!
00:30:06No fucking way!
00:30:27No fucking way!
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey, Dex.
00:30:37Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So...
00:30:48Why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right.
00:31:20I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:41Ztar is also your favorite part to be a hit.
00:31:42You know what's happening with the new CEO?
00:31:43I definitely want toalie it and try last night.
00:31:44You know what?
00:31:44I could do.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:53But the party's just getting started.
00:31:56I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records, too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed,
00:32:08so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:13Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:23I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want.
00:32:34But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important.
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:48I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:49Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:51Probably out-whoring herself to old men.
00:32:54Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm.
00:32:59They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm.
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful.
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:24You 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.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard,
00:33:41your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed.
00:33:47Hi.
00:33:48Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:51You'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.
00:34:02Of 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.
00:34:12Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:14Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:19and 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.
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:34And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make me
00:34:43forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here.
00:35:02Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:35:08Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:35:14instead 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.
00:35:40Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:52night.
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:59Yeah, right.
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys.
00:36:09Ed 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.
00:36:37Reed 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.
00:36:51Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:10He's 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.
00:37:21The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess.
00:37:26And the light of my life.
00:37:29My daughter.
00:37:30Casey Reed.
00:37:35What?
00:37:41No.
00:37:49Casey.
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit.
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:10She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:19She just committed career suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:23For the lady of the hour.
00:38:25Ugh.
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad, this is too much.
00:38:31Well, something from your old man.
00:38:33And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:36This cannot be happening.
00:38:38She's a nobody.
00:38:42I 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?
00:39:08Suits 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, I still miss you.
00:39:43Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:51But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03You're 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.
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:25You have to believe me, please.
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:32I guess, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:34Is 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.
00:40:49You 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, please.
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.
00:41:39Effective immediately.
00:41:41Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
00:41:48You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:54not 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.
00:42:09Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:12She can produce his songs.
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've known you for years, I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:59All of those years, I've broken here in the blade.
00:43:13Fade of twine, lost in time, I'm still missing you.
00:43:22I'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.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got another truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Well, let's not talk.
00:44:29What's wrong?
00:44:31Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:44Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:55I don't give a fuck 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.
00:45:17But 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.
00:45:31If you tell me that you want to be with me,
00:45:35we'll be together.
00:45:41We can tease each other over.
00:45:43Until you finally admit
00:45:46that 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.
00:46:17After what you did,
00:46:19why 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 Scarlet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:27Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:31Hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months.
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million streams.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill
00:46:43and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you, of all people,
00:46:51get 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
00:47:00after 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,
00:47:31but you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Well, hired to be blown away.
00:47:43Actually, I was hoping for a live performance,
00:47:45if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there
00:47:47faking 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
00:47:55to this potential partnership?
00:48:04I don't know.
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:24But you know what I
00:48:28actually 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
00:48:50and demand a live performance
00:48:51from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:55Absolutely.
00:48:56And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure no label
00:49:01will ever sign you
00:49:03no matter how talented you are.
00:49:06I want me to label to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can't read records
00:49:09for myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:17to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos
00:49:19all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slutted your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have no choice
00:49:29but to hand you
00:49:30and your company over to me.
00:49:32You're delusional.
00:49:34Stay away from me.
00:49:35I'm fine.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42If I'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.
00:49:56I'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
00:50:11a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted to defend this
00:50:14used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19Her name
00:50:21is K.C. Wynn.
00:50:22And she's the future
00:50:23of the industry
00:50:24that you want so badly
00:50:26fucking in!
00:50:28Your career is dead,
00:50:29Sasha.
00:50:30I'm not sure of that.
00:50:32Let's go.
00:50:40Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:52Casey, I've been telling you
00:50:54for months.
00:50:54Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:56My business
00:50:57is none of your concern.
00:50:58If I didn't show up tonight,
00:51:00what the hell do you think
00:51:01would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea
00:51:02what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.
00:51:04Yes!
00:51:05Okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:07Newsflash!
00:51:08I'm not your assistant
00:51:10anymore!
00:51:11So,
00:51:11it's not your concern
00:51:13where I am
00:51:14or what I'm doing,
00:51:15okay?
00:51:15So stop
00:51:18following me.
00:51:23The car is still
00:51:24fucking moving.
00:51:26Stop following you
00:51:27the minute that you
00:51:28stop making stupid
00:51:30fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made it
00:51:33for all the danger
00:51:34I put her in.
00:51:38You're way
00:51:40too interested
00:51:41in my personal life,
00:51:43Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiancé
00:51:45be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying
00:51:51to tell you
00:51:52for weeks
00:51:52I did not
00:51:54want
00:51:55to marry
00:51:56Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't
00:51:59fucking love.
00:52:00And now you're
00:52:00really starting
00:52:01to piss me off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:04I don't know.
00:52:06I don't know.
00:52:13I don't know.
00:52:15what am I
00:52:16supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend
00:52:18she
00:52:18doesn't exist
00:52:20and be
00:52:20the pop star's
00:52:22secret
00:52:23side piece
00:52:24again?
00:52:26I should push
00:52:27him away
00:52:28but
00:52:28I can't deny
00:52:29how much
00:52:29I miss his touch.
00:52:31You were never
00:52:31the side piece.
00:52:34And you know it.
00:52:45Boss,
00:52:46I have news.
00:52:48Thank you
00:52:49for your help
00:52:50today,
00:52:51Dexter.
00:52:53Please,
00:52:54stop following me.
00:52:58Or else
00:52:59it's going to get
00:52:59harder and harder
00:53:00to walk away.
00:53:03Okay.
00:53:11great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even
00:53:14here?
00:53:15Done what you
00:53:15asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha
00:53:17Silver's fraudulence
00:53:18and drug abuse
00:53:18have been leaked
00:53:19to the press.
00:53:20No label,
00:53:21studio,
00:53:21brand will go
00:53:22anywhere near.
00:53:22His net worth
00:53:23plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rights
00:53:26to his music.
00:53:29I'm going to give that
00:53:30to Casey as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what
00:53:37happened with
00:53:37Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was
00:53:39way too risky,
00:53:40Casey.
00:53:40Look,
00:53:41I'm far from
00:53:41Dexter's biggest
00:53:42fan,
00:53:43but that could
00:53:43have gotten
00:53:43real ugly
00:53:44if he hadn't
00:53:45shown up.
00:53:45I could have
00:53:46handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also
00:53:48a huge leak
00:53:48in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha's
00:53:50silver,
00:53:51dirty laundry
00:53:52had out
00:53:52for everyone
00:53:52to see.
00:53:53He's been,
00:53:54what do you
00:53:54kids call it,
00:53:55canceled.
00:53:56Who took him
00:53:56down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought
00:54:05the rights
00:54:05to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing
00:54:08anything anywhere
00:54:09or get sued
00:54:10to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down
00:54:12Sasha's silver
00:54:13for me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad
00:54:17as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should
00:54:19stop interfering
00:54:20himself with my life.
00:54:25The world famous
00:54:27music producer Echo
00:54:28is set to finally
00:54:29reveal their identity
00:54:30at the legendary
00:54:31Universal Music Awards
00:54:32tomorrow night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting
00:54:35desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to
00:54:36convince the world
00:54:37she's Echo
00:54:38before it can
00:54:38expose her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up
00:54:41the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later,
00:54:42Dexter will realize
00:54:43she can't even
00:54:44hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce
00:54:46a hit track.
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing
00:54:48if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter
00:54:51wouldn't look at her
00:54:51twice, let alone
00:54:52marry her,
00:54:54if she wasn't
00:54:55pretending to be
00:54:55a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know
00:54:57how she thinks
00:54:57she's going to
00:54:58get away with it.
00:55:00I think it's time
00:55:01the world finds out
00:55:03who the real Echo
00:55:04is.
00:55:09You want to go
00:55:09to the UMAs
00:55:10as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me
00:55:12every year
00:55:13and I've always
00:55:13refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam
00:55:16go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world
00:55:18finds out the truth
00:55:19about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world
00:55:20or Dexter.
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed
00:55:30when he proposed
00:55:30to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter
00:55:32deserves all the
00:55:33recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're
00:55:36going to go to Echo,
00:55:37oh, you're going
00:55:37to do it right.
00:55:39With the best
00:55:40equipment money
00:55:40can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people
00:55:45to see my princess
00:55:46for the queen
00:55:47that she is.
00:55:51You're the best, Dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes!
00:56:07It's so good
00:56:09to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:15My future
00:56:16daughter-in-law
00:56:16is performing
00:56:17at the Universal
00:56:18Music Awards
00:56:19tomorrow
00:56:19and I'd like
00:56:20to gift her
00:56:21something
00:56:21to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these
00:56:24mass-produced
00:56:25guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical
00:56:27genius.
00:56:28We need something
00:56:29one of a kind
00:56:29just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the
00:56:32perfect gift
00:56:33for her.
00:56:34A custom
00:56:34Fender
00:56:35Signature
00:56:36Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't
00:56:43touch that.
00:56:44Those instruments
00:56:45are only for
00:56:45our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Ugh.
00:56:49It's you.
00:56:50Get this
00:56:51career-sabotaging
00:56:52stalker
00:56:53out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing
00:56:57our VIP customers.
00:56:58I have to ask
00:56:59you to leave
00:57:00now.
00:57:05I'm the CEO
00:57:06of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as
00:57:10much of a right
00:57:11to be here as you.
00:57:12because of your
00:57:13nepo-baby
00:57:13connections.
00:57:14We all know
00:57:15money can't
00:57:16buy talent.
00:57:17Hmm.
00:57:18Tell that to
00:57:18Scarlet.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter
00:57:22Hayes' fiancé
00:57:23and creative
00:57:24collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't
00:57:26really know
00:57:26anything about
00:57:27music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31In that case,
00:57:32you should have
00:57:39this.
00:57:40No!
00:57:45Oh, my God!
00:57:48What?
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my
00:57:54hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Oh!
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed
00:58:00a million-dollar
00:58:01guitar!
00:58:02Security!
00:58:03Take this
00:58:04woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just
00:58:06one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh, my God.
00:58:11Uh, I need to
00:58:12speak to the
00:58:12owner about an
00:58:13offer.
00:58:13You need to
00:58:14set it up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course,
00:58:16Mr. Hayes.
00:58:16Okay.
00:58:19Just kidding.
00:58:22It's all yours
00:58:23now.
00:58:25Oh!
00:58:32Scarlett, ignore
00:58:34this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better
00:58:37option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:40Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used this
00:58:46on her last album.
00:58:48This instrument is
00:58:49worthy of Echo,
00:58:51the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:54Actually, actually,
00:58:56this guitar is no
00:58:58longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire
00:59:00collection is on hold
00:59:01for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies?
00:59:08My apologies.
00:59:08Apologies, but...
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no,
00:59:10no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look.
00:59:13We just want the one
00:59:14guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come
00:59:15to a generous
00:59:16agreement.
00:59:17You could pay all
00:59:18you want for the
00:59:18guitar, but it's not
00:59:20gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:21from choking on the
00:59:23stage.
00:59:26How dare you,
00:59:28you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:38Hi, Dexie.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just
00:59:46insulted your
00:59:47Beyonce.
00:59:48You need to do
00:59:49something.
00:59:50Mom, do you really
00:59:51want to have a
00:59:51conversation right here
00:59:52and now about the
00:59:53current status of my
00:59:54engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent as a
00:59:57producer is the reason
00:59:58you're as famous as
01:00:00you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do
01:00:03is show her a little
01:00:04respect.
01:00:06You know what?
01:00:07Actually, I'm sorry.
01:00:08You're right.
01:00:09I should show respect
01:00:11to the one person
01:00:13who's always been there
01:00:13for me.
01:00:16Please ring up the
01:00:16guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you would
01:00:19support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not
01:00:21for sale.
01:00:23You know, why don't
01:00:23you ask the new
01:00:24owner how much it
01:00:25costs and I'll pay it
01:00:27whatever it is right
01:00:28here and now.
01:00:29Miss Reed, as the
01:00:31new owner of the
01:00:32store, how much would
01:00:33you like to charge the
01:00:34guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the
01:00:41new owner?
01:00:44Consider it a late
01:00:44birthday gift for my
01:00:46former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:49You really think I
01:00:51need a music store?
01:00:52Well, as CEO of
01:00:54Reed Records, you
01:00:54probably don't know.
01:00:55But from someone who
01:00:57cares about you a lot,
01:00:58why the hell not?
01:01:01Dexter, are you
01:01:02insane?
01:01:03She's not even a real
01:01:05musician and you gave
01:01:07her the entire store?
01:01:09You're going to make
01:01:10us pay her for a
01:01:12guitar?
01:01:12Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlet could have it
01:01:15for free.
01:01:15As long as she shows
01:01:17us the big hit that
01:01:18she's working on.
01:01:22Casey, I am not
01:01:23stooping to your
01:01:24level.
01:01:24And besides, we're
01:01:26late for hair and
01:01:27makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you
01:01:28about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done
01:01:34nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty
01:01:37face with no talent
01:01:39to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:45Hi.
01:01:47One, I'm not your
01:01:48assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed and I'm
01:01:51the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:54Two, my birthday was
01:01:56months ago.
01:01:57Actually, the night that
01:01:58you proposed to Scarlet,
01:01:59so your gift means
01:02:00nothing.
01:02:03Did you know I was
01:02:05actually going to tell you
01:02:05my secret that night?
01:02:06What's secret?
01:02:10Secret?
01:02:11Hold on.
01:02:12What are you talking
01:02:12about?
01:02:12What's secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the
01:02:17truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:19That I wanted to spend
01:02:20every single day of the
01:02:22rest of my life with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention
01:02:41to anything she just said.
01:02:42I want you to get
01:02:43the best equipment
01:02:44and the best instruments
01:02:45to her collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:49Oh, one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:58Dexter, you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:14Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart,
01:03:16you're on in five.
01:03:16The broadcast will begin
01:03:18live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:21Millions of fans
01:03:23are going to be hearing
01:03:24your song.
01:03:25It's exactly what you
01:03:26deserve.
01:03:26The world needs
01:03:28to hear your talent.
01:03:29I can't believe
01:03:30I'm about to perform
01:03:31on the Universal Music
01:03:33Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show
01:03:53without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably
01:04:01got her a ticket
01:04:01after she cried
01:04:02about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet.
01:04:05You know,
01:04:06I'm actually surprised
01:04:07you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be
01:04:09too painful for you
01:04:10to witness people
01:04:10with actual talent
01:04:12perform when
01:04:13you yourself have none.
01:04:15Mm.
01:04:16I'm getting
01:04:17a lecture about
01:04:18talent from you.
01:04:20Oh.
01:04:20Guess we'll see
01:04:21who's real
01:04:22and who's fake tonight.
01:04:23Wreck-a-legs, Scarlet.
01:04:25Or should I say
01:04:27Echo?
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:56The track's gone.
01:04:57Completely white.
01:04:59You have another
01:05:00version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even
01:05:06make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor
01:05:08Schultz's producer
01:05:08to send me
01:05:08to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right,
01:05:16everyone's just out there
01:05:16staring at us.
01:05:17We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:19and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:20What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea.
01:05:26You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo,
01:05:42the award-winning producer
01:05:44and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:45longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us
01:05:52a live track right here,
01:05:53right now?
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean,
01:05:57this is your chance
01:05:58to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean,
01:05:59the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know
01:06:03what any of these buttons
01:06:03even do.
01:06:04This bitch
01:06:05is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file
01:06:08I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look
01:06:10like I'm mixing in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done.
01:06:35Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:38Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:40You can stop
01:06:41with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay,
01:06:44can you boost the treble
01:06:45on the EQ in the middle
01:06:46and can you pan
01:06:47from stage left
01:06:49to stage right
01:06:49real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn,
01:07:00I guess you're gonna have
01:07:01to do it
01:07:01the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means
01:07:02recording the instruments
01:07:04live, looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her.
01:07:07She doesn't know
01:07:07what it takes
01:07:08to make a track
01:07:08of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't
01:07:11the first time
01:07:11one of Dexter's tracks
01:07:12have been corrupted.
01:07:14If I didn't know
01:07:15any better,
01:07:15I think you were
01:07:16trying to sabotage it.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:19why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real?
01:07:21Okay, here,
01:07:21here, Echo.
01:07:23Okay, so,
01:07:24just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What,
01:07:29you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could,
01:07:45if I had something
01:07:45other than this shoddy
01:07:47Reed Records
01:07:48music equipment
01:07:48to work with.
01:07:49Casey,
01:07:50if you're such a genius,
01:07:51why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh,
01:07:53I actually would,
01:07:54gladly,
01:07:55but it's actually
01:07:56your big night,
01:07:56so why don't you
01:07:57show everyone
01:07:58the brilliant Echo
01:07:59and how you made
01:08:00Dexter Hayes a superstar.
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo,
01:08:09okay?
01:08:10Record some mini-instruments,
01:08:11lay them down,
01:08:12make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think
01:08:16your fiancé
01:08:17is going to be able
01:08:17to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean,
01:08:19if she goes down,
01:08:20you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:27Not when I'm so close
01:08:28to marrying Dexter
01:08:29and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius
01:08:55to make that racket
01:08:56sound like music.
01:09:18Oh my god,
01:09:19is Scarlet Heart
01:09:20tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on, Echo.
01:09:23Show them your talent.
01:09:24Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage.
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:35You're really going to
01:09:36give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:38You're going to throw it
01:09:40all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:42That whole career
01:09:43that I fought for
01:09:45for however,
01:09:45how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to
01:09:53once told me
01:09:55that there's a lot more
01:09:56to life than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows,
01:09:59maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:00as a personal assistant
01:10:02for the new CEO
01:10:03of Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter,
01:10:07stop it with those awful jokes.
01:10:09Your entire life's work
01:10:11is on the line.
01:10:12Mom,
01:10:13you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving this song.
01:10:16Now it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:32Well,
01:10:33I guess it's time
01:10:34for the next act
01:10:35of this show.
01:10:37No, no.
01:10:38There's no,
01:10:39there's no other...
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let
01:10:42a real musician
01:10:43take the stage.
01:10:51What the hell
01:10:52do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean,
01:11:00you can stay
01:11:01unless you want to go down
01:11:02as the worst performer
01:11:03in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix
01:11:05a whole live track,
01:11:06what makes you think
01:11:07you could?
01:11:08For one,
01:11:09I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't,
01:11:12will you step down
01:11:13as Reed Records CEO
01:11:15if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:17Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone,
01:11:22we're about to watch
01:11:23the Reed Records CEO
01:11:24dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo
01:11:26is having technical difficulties
01:11:28with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live,
01:11:31let's make something new.
01:11:32Dexter,
01:11:33sing me the first line

01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now.
01:11:44I am not
01:11:46the kind
01:11:47for a show.
01:11:52This is not
01:11:53a one-time thing.
01:11:56Lights are low,
01:11:57but I still glow.
01:12:00This morning's got
01:12:02a sting.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:08Now let's
01:12:09make a hit.
01:12:17Let's fucking go!
01:12:34Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean,
01:12:38you produced this, right?
01:12:39So do you want to go ahead
01:12:39and take over?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have much.
01:12:42You don't need anything
01:12:44except for a band
01:12:45and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean,
01:12:47you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Then when is Casey Reed
01:12:54a musical genius?
01:12:55That sound,
01:12:56it's familiar.
01:12:58I'm not the kind
01:13:00for sure.
01:13:03This is not
01:13:04a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:07Stop it!

01:17:03My back is passed against the wall
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 for my chains
01:17:26Who 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 open, can't buy
01:18:20Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:28Oh, I can't believe it
01:18:39Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know.
01:18:42Are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:57You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you had to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:28No!
01:19:36No! No!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh, my God!
01:19:41Oh, my God!
01:19:46Hey. Hey. Hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love her, don't you?
01:19:54Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:57As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:00You 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?
01:20:18But without him, I would've 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.
01:20:41Hm?
01:20:41Maybe 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. One centimeter to the right. He could've punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:56If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:06Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I 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...
01:22:37Can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:55No!
01:22:56No!
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.
01:23:45And 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.
01:24:01I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:18Which...
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.
01:24:38You'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.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:41It's 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, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:26:09my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:15So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:58This goes on
01:27:02Stuff in the stockings
01:27:05But I am still walking
01:27:07For all we do
01:27:11Was the fool who I hated
01:27:14Now I'm recreated
01:27:16Never will be done
01:27:18Look at the moon fall
01:27:21I dream of a night
01:27:23That's lost forever
01:27:27Soon you'll see
01:27:30That it's time for you and me
01:27:35Cause the best of all
01:27:39We hustle it all

01:27:49I forget where I am

01:28:11But I will be watching
01:28:13Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:18The mirror in heaven
01:28:20My heart is still breathing
01:28:22Every time I remember to smile

01:28:29We're together
01:28:30Yeah, yeah, yeah
