Short filmTranscript
00:00:00The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:00:08No one knows I'm Echo, the world-famous music producer,
00:00:12because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have,
00:00:15Dexter Hayes, the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:19He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:00:23Oh my god, Dexy!
00:00:25Yes!
00:00:26It was all a lie.
00:00:28I owe her.
00:00:29These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:00:32This is Echo's number.
00:00:33She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:00:37I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:00:40Goodbye.
00:00:41I'm Echo, and I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:00:46Dexter was gonna be mine.
00:00:47I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world.
00:00:50Casey, I still miss you.
00:00:53Forget where I am just a little.
00:01:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:01:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records,
00:01:21the billion-dollar music empire.
00:01:23For that, I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:01:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have.
00:01:33Dexter Hayes, the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:01:37I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:01:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:01:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:59Dex, we're backstage.
00:02:01Someone might see us.
00:02:05I am so done hiding you.
00:02:08I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:02:10How you make me feel.
00:02:12You are my favorite song.
00:02:19I lose control.
00:02:21I don't know.
00:02:25I want you, Dex.
00:02:28I need you.
00:02:31Come on.
00:02:33Good.
00:02:35And because you're already mine.
00:02:39I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:02:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:02:44And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:02:47I'm going to claim every interview.
00:02:50Note by note.
00:02:51In front of the whole world.
00:03:08Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:03:12Just, what are you hiding?
00:03:15Nothing.
00:03:15It's just work stuff.
00:03:18Okay.
00:03:20It's time I come clean, too.
00:03:22Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:03:26And I can finally be the real me.
00:03:29His Echo and his Casey.
00:03:34You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:03:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:04:00I can't wait.
00:04:01You can't wait.
00:04:02You know, better land, men, take a flight from trip.
00:04:06I'm here now, how it acts if you live today.
00:04:09I'm here now, how it acts if anything.
00:04:14I need champagne.
00:04:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter
00:04:31Hayes!
00:04:36Wait for me, right here?
00:04:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long
00:04:46as he's in bed with his frumpy assistant.
00:04:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:04:55Fans already love us.
00:04:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:05:00Scarlet Heart.
00:05:01Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:05:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:05:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:05:12I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:05:14Hope you enjoy.
00:05:25Shit!
00:05:26The backing mix is corrupted!
00:05:28I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:05:30Echo can fix this.
00:05:34Are you here?
00:05:35Dexter, I need your help.
00:05:39What the hell is she up to?
00:05:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be right
00:05:49back.
00:05:54There.
00:05:54Your gear from the studio.
00:05:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:59Dad, we've talked about this.
00:06:01In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:06:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:06:06You made him the star he is.
00:06:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:06:12But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:06:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:06:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arm.
00:06:42Oh, my God.
00:06:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:06:45Is Casey Echo?
00:06:57Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:06:59Play that song!
00:07:00Play that song!
00:07:02God, where's Casey?
00:07:03She said she'd stay right here.
00:07:04The show is a disaster.
00:07:06The fans are waiting.
00:07:07Can you please find her?
00:07:08I need her.
00:07:09No, Dexter.
00:07:11I'm the one you need.
00:07:12What?
00:07:21This is Echo's normal.
00:07:25Are you her?
00:07:26Are you her?
00:07:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:07:35I already did.
00:07:38Wait.
00:07:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:07:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:07:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:07:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:08:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:08:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:08:07Thanks.
00:08:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:08:18Uh, and we're back.
00:08:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:08:26At least I thought so.
00:08:35Get ready, Dex.
00:08:37The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:09:06Remember the time I saw you die.
00:09:09One thing to remember by
00:09:12The time I looked into your eye
00:09:15The secret feeling that gate
00:09:17I know when I was running out of time
00:10:02I was running out of time
00:10:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:10:17Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes
00:10:32He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:10:34To announce our relationship
00:10:37I loved her
00:10:38And she betrayed me
00:10:50Oh my god!
00:10:52Dexie!
00:10:53Oh my god!
00:10:54Is he proposing to Scarlet Hart?
00:10:57Yes!
00:11:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:11:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:11:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:11:18But she made my career
00:11:20And Casey betrayed me
00:11:25It was all a lie
00:11:29All right, I can play along with his engagement
00:11:32And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:11:43Hey, uh, Casey
00:11:54You promised me
00:11:58That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:12:00But instead you proposed and put a ring on Scarlet Hart's finger?
00:12:07Casey, you gave me no choice
00:12:10I gave you everything
00:12:14I loved you
00:12:15Do you love her?
00:12:18I owe her
00:12:19Okay?
00:12:20I owe her, all right?
00:12:22I don't...
00:12:22You owe her?
00:12:25Scarlet Hart is just some talentless industry plan
00:12:28What has she ever done for you?
00:12:30Scarlet produced my career
00:12:32She made me who I am today
00:12:34Okay, so that's why
00:12:37What are you talking about?
00:12:41Scarlet is Echo
00:12:48You think Scarlet Hart is Echo?
00:12:52Well, I know she is
00:12:53You know what?
00:12:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:58And I feel like this is a good start
00:13:03How could you believe her lies?
00:13:05Come on, all you do is lie
00:13:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:13:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:13:15To be a music industry power couple?
00:13:19To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:13:22He could have had that with me
00:13:25This is all you ever really cared about
00:13:28Isn't it?
00:13:31Not loyalty
00:13:32Just
00:13:34Your music
00:13:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:13:39Hmm?
00:13:41This
00:13:42Is my notebook
00:13:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:13:46For Dexter's first little platinum album
00:13:49That's my notebook
00:13:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:13:53I'm a musical genius
00:13:54And you're just
00:13:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:58Give it back
00:13:59Ow!
00:14:00Dexter, she cut me!
00:14:02Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:14:04I don't
00:14:05I know who you are anymore
00:14:07Dexter, baby
00:14:09I know all about girls like her
00:14:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:14:15She's taking advantage of you
00:14:17She's taking advantage of you
00:14:18She has been for years
00:14:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:14:23Scarlet is not Echo
00:14:24No
00:14:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:14:26Okay?
00:14:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:14:31Go wait in the car
00:14:32Please
00:14:38Casey
00:14:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:14:45So please
00:14:47So please just
00:14:47Just tell me the truth
00:14:49Okay, right now
00:14:50Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:55Please
00:15:07The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:15:10You don't trust me anyway
00:15:16We're over
00:15:18Dex
00:15:22Goodbye
00:15:23Forever
00:15:24Forever
00:15:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:15:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:59Dad

00:16:06He doesn't want me

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