00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, where that
00:00:25I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:43We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:01:11How you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:36Because you're already mine.
00:01:40I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:27And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:30His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:35You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:54I want you.
00:02:58I'm going to count on me.
00:03:01I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:02I'm going to be my mother.
00:03:02You don't call me pretty.
00:03:03You know it's better than me.
00:03:05Take a flight from the city.
00:03:07Got me some food in this bag.
00:03:10I want you to tell me.
00:03:12I need some light.
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long
00:03:47as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us.
00:03:57Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart.
00:04:03Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:05She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:08Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:13I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:16Hope you enjoy.
00:04:26Shit!
00:04:27The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:29I can't let Dexter's show get ruined!
00:04:32Echo can fix this!
00:04:36Are you here?
00:04:37I need your help.
00:04:40What the hell is she up to?
00:04:45Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:50I'll be right back.
00:04:55There.
00:04:56Your gear from the studio!
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad!
00:05:00We've talked about this.
00:05:02In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:05But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:08You made him the star he is.
00:05:11I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:13But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh, my God.
00:05:44These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:47Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:58Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01Play that song!
00:06:03God, where's Casey?
00:06:04She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:06The show is a disaster.
00:06:07The fans are waiting.
00:06:08Can you please find her?
00:06:09I need her.
00:06:10No, Dexter.
00:06:12I'm the one you need.
00:06:13What?
00:06:22Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:33Listen.
00:06:34Can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's...
00:06:43One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:47Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:58Casey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:02Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:04I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:17Wait.
00:07:18Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:20Uh, and we're back.
00:07:22Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38The next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:08:09One thing to remember.
00:08:12The time I looked into your eye
00:08:16The secret field in the gate
00:08:19I know I was running out of time
00:08:56I was running out of time
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:19Everyone give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:38I loved her and she betrayed me
00:09:51Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:54Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:58Yes!
00:10:00Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:06Yes!
00:10:08Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:12I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:17No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:20But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:27It was all a lie
00:10:30Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:33And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:37What?
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:55You
00:10:57Promised me
00:11:00That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:02But instead
00:11:04You propose
00:11:05And put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:12I gave you everything
00:11:16I loved you
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her
00:11:21Oh
00:11:21Okay, I owe her
00:11:23Alright, I don't
00:11:24You owe her?
00:11:26Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:11:30What has she ever done for you?
00:11:32Scarlet produced my career
00:11:34She made me who I am today
00:11:37Okay, so that's why
00:11:38What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet
00:11:42Is Echo
00:11:50You think
00:11:52Scarlet Heart
00:11:53Is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is
00:11:55You know what?
00:11:56I'll never be able to
00:11:58Thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:00And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:07Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:11You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:14Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be
00:12:17A music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:24He could have had that with me
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:30Isn't it?
00:12:34Not loyalty
00:12:34Just
00:12:36Your music
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:43This
00:12:45Is my notebook
00:12:46Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:48For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:51That's my notebook
00:12:52How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:55I'm a musical genius
00:12:57And you're just
00:12:59Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:00Keep it back!
00:13:02Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:04She what has gotten into you?
00:13:06I don't...
00:13:07I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:09Dexy, baby
00:13:11I know all about girls like her
00:13:14They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:17She's taking advantage of you
00:13:20She has been for years
00:13:22Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:26Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:28Okay?
00:13:29Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Go wait in the car
00:13:34Please
00:13:40Casey
00:13:46Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:48So, please just
00:13:49Just tell me the truth
00:13:51Okay, right now
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:54It's over
00:13:57Yes
00:14:01Please
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:13You don't trust me anyway
00:14:19We're over
00:14:22Dex
00:14:25Goodbye
00:14:25Forever
00:14:27Forever
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:50Dexter Hayes
00:14:51Popped the question
00:14:52Up and coming singer
00:14:53Scarlet Heart tonight
00:14:55And she said yes
00:15:02Dad...
00:15:03I gave Dexter everything
00:15:05I made his career
00:15:07But...
00:15:08He doesn't want me
00:15:09He never did
00:15:11What happened princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Heart
00:15:14She stole him
00:15:16And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:18I'll come get you
00:15:22I'll come get you
00:15:24Tacey
00:15:25Tacey, where are you?
00:15:35Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:38Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:43Who are you?
00:15:44Let me go
00:15:45Don't worry Scarlet
00:15:47We won't hurt you
00:15:48We're your fans too
00:15:50We've always shook Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:57We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:01You're trying to steal him from his soul mate
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him
00:16:07We were in love
00:16:09Or...
00:16:10I thought we were
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:18Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:24Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room
00:16:30Come alone
00:16:31Choose to save Scarlet Heart
00:16:33And we'll spare them
00:16:35Choose your little assistant
00:16:37And they both die
00:16:40You've reached Casey
00:16:41I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:44Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:48Casey?
00:16:49So she never left a concert
00:16:50Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:53Dexter is coming
00:16:56We'll see who his true love is
00:16:58You psychos!
00:17:00Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:06Obviously not
00:17:07She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:11You fucked him too?
00:17:13God, our precious Dexter
00:17:17Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:19Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:22You don't deserve to live
00:17:24No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:27So, if Casey dies
00:17:29Then the truth dies with her
00:17:31That's not true
00:17:33First you steal my identity
00:17:35Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:37You're psychotic
00:17:38No, don't worry Casey
00:17:40If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:43And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:47You're crazier than they are
00:17:49Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:55Casey!
00:17:56Dexter!
00:18:02Dexter!
00:18:03Casey!
00:18:04Dexter! Dexter help me!
00:18:08They hit me and then they tied me up
00:18:11And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:13Okay guys, let's...
00:18:15Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:18We can't do that, Dexter
00:18:20We're your biggest fans
00:18:22We're doing this for you
00:18:24Okay, well if you love me
00:18:27Alright, you'll put the gun down
00:18:29And then let these two go, please
00:18:30No, that's not how this works
00:18:33Dexie!
00:18:34You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:36We're engaged now, you can't let me die
00:18:39Dex, all the love we ever had
00:18:42All the memories, all the I love you's you told me
00:18:45Did they mean anything?
00:18:47You must choose one to live
00:18:50Will it be your future wife?
00:18:53Or your mistress?
00:18:55Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:59They said if I don't choose Scarlet then they both die
00:19:02I can save Casey but I...
00:19:04I have to break her heart
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:15You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:19And you loved him?
00:19:21You leeched off him for half a decade
00:19:24If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:27Go ahead, make your choice
00:19:28Choose now or they both die
00:19:30Dexter, Dexter, please
00:19:32Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:34You dumped her, you chose me
00:19:37Don't let them murder me
00:19:39That's enough, we're pulling the trigger in three
00:19:43Two
00:19:44One
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:49Scarlet, alright?
00:19:50I choose Scarlet
00:19:56Dexter, I'm gonna faint
00:19:58I was so scared
00:20:00He chose Scarlet?
00:20:02Good choice
00:20:03Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:05Now wait a minute, you told me that
00:20:07You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:10Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate
00:20:13And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:23I guess this is the end
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:39Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:50Let's go, let's go
00:20:51Let's go, let's go
00:20:52Okay, okay, come on, okay
00:20:54Alright
00:21:00It's gonna be okay
00:21:01Okay?
00:21:02You left me to die!
00:21:04And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:07I was right to walk away
00:21:09Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:13Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:15They were gonna make me
00:21:16I'm done
00:21:18Living in your shadow decks
00:21:21Goodbye
00:21:26Okay, Casey, Casey, hey
00:21:36Casey, Casey, stop, please, stop, please, please
00:21:40We're gonna go, okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:43You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:47Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:49You're delusional
00:21:51He doesn't need you, he has Echo
00:21:53Yeah, sure he does
00:21:56Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:22:02Fame changed me?
00:22:05Okay
00:22:06And what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:12I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:19You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:22No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:55So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:23:00You're here now
00:23:01Take me home
00:23:11I don't know
00:23:13I'm heading home
00:23:14I am out there
00:23:18I'm 서울
00:23:30I don't know
00:23:32K-Shay!
00:23:33K-Shay!
00:23:37K-Shay!
00:23:38K-Shay!
00:23:39K-Shay!
00:23:39Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlet.
00:23:45Mrs Hayes.
00:23:46You should have seen it.
00:23:48I almost died.
00:23:49And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:53I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:56She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:58And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:04Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:07She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:09All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:12I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:14But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:23Forget him, princess.
00:24:25You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:41Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:45It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:57My back is pressed.
00:25:05My back is pressed.
00:25:07My back is pressed.
00:25:12No, no, no.
00:25:14Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:28The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:33You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:37What's going on?
00:25:39Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:47Are you really Echo?
00:25:50Dexy.
00:25:53Of course I am.
00:25:55It's just your new assistant.
00:25:58He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:04I mean, look.
00:26:07Last saved by Max.
00:26:09Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:11Okay, you know what?
00:26:12Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:16Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:19It's Dexter.
00:26:20And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:25You're fired.
00:26:33Let's do it again.
00:26:49Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:08We're sorry.
00:27:09You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:14All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:18So why can't I do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got.
00:27:39An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:43The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:52Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:54Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:56Dexter.
00:27:57You said it yourself.
00:27:58They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:00We have to go.
00:28:01Oh, this is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:07Okay, look.
00:28:09I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:13He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:15I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:20a few extra bucks.
00:28:20You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:24He could make or break our careers.
00:28:27Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am.
00:28:32We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:35So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:40I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:42Her coarse, tangled hair, or her dull, crusty skin, or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:57I'm Echo.
00:28:59I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:01And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:12How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:17We're honored.
00:29:18And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:22Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:27I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:33Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:35Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:38She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:39I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:43Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:45She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:47Look, here she is now!
00:30:00No fucking way!
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:31Hey, Dex.
00:30:32Long time no see.
00:30:36Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:39I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:42So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her.
00:31:01And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:07You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:09All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:14She's right.
00:31:15I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:36Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:39I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is
00:31:43for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:46I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:49But the party's just getting started.
00:31:51I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:56Why?
00:31:57So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records, too?
00:32:00I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:06And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:08Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:11I'd love to see you try.
00:32:16You jealous?
00:32:18I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:21How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:25You can dress up all you want.
00:32:29But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:34I thought she was someone important.
00:32:37She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:43I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:44Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:49Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm.
00:32:54I got that right.
00:32:55Hmm.
00:32:57Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:00Is it really me?
00:33:02Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:08How dare you?
00:33:12Careful.
00:33:12The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:17You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:20You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make
00:33:24and pay by the hour hotel rooms.
00:33:26But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:30And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:36hard.
00:33:36Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed, hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:46You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:49Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:58Got you.
00:34:00Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:05daughter.
00:34:06Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:09Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:14and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:23I think we could really make something special.
00:34:25Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:28And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make me
00:34:38forever, forever grateful.
00:34:40Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:35:02I, I, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:08that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:24What, you missed me already?
00:35:25Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only.
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:40You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:47night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:54Yeah, right.
00:35:55The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:00You have no power here.
00:36:02Okay, guys.
00:36:03Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:08Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:10Aw, Dex.
00:36:11You forgot to say please.
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:23Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:32Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:37But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:46Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:51Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:57It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:04He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:06All right, this is it.
00:37:07He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:10I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:15The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess.
00:37:21In the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter.
00:37:24Casey Reed.
00:37:30What?
00:37:32What?
00:38:00That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:02Holy shit.
00:38:03She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:04She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:08Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:10Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:13She just committed career suicide.
00:38:16Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:17For the lady of the hour.
00:38:19Uh, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:23Dad, this is too much.
00:38:25There's something from the old man.
00:38:26And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:30This cannot be happening.
00:38:32She's a nobody.
00:38:35I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:41Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:43He was her father.
00:38:44This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:47She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:53How could I be so blind?
00:39:02Suits you?
00:39:04Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:10Daisy, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:19I just...
00:39:25I still miss you.
00:39:34I'm there.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:45But, I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:49If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:51Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:52Why you want me back?
00:39:53After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:03If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:07I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:11I lied.
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:19You have to believe me, please.
00:40:20I was just trying to...
00:40:23Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:25I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just, is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:33Oh, Tank your career.
00:40:35I made his career.
00:40:38I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:41You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:46Wait.
00:40:50This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:54Why you left me for dead.
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:01Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:04The fortune.
00:41:05The fans.
00:41:06No, no, no, no.
00:41:08Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:21Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:32Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:41:40You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:46not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:49Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:51None of this.
00:41:52I don't care about that.
00:41:53I've always loved you.
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:57She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:04She can produce songs.
00:42:05Wait, wait, Casey.
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:11She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:14Okay, Mom, Mom.
00:42:16Stop.
00:42:17You're my mom, not my manager.
00:42:19All right?
00:42:20I'm done talking about this.
00:42:42I've known you for years.
00:42:45I've known you for years.
00:42:47I thought you'd say the same.
00:42:51All of those years.
00:42:54There is a room there in a blade
00:43:05Made a twine, lost in time
00:43:09I'm still missing you
00:43:14And I'm still, and I'm still
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:32It outwined, heart and mind
00:43:36I'm still missing you
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:48You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:55Casey's wrong about me
00:43:56I never gave up on us
00:43:57She's got to know the truth
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:10Fine
00:44:12But let's not talk
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:35Not anymore
00:44:37I'm your former boss now
00:44:39In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:46I don't give a fuck
00:44:47About the contract
00:44:48I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:50I just want you
00:44:51And I know that you want me too
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:57What we had
00:44:59I've been trying to
00:45:01But being this close again
00:45:02It feels
00:45:05Impossible
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:09But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:16I don't care
00:45:17About the fans
00:45:18I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:20I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:21If you tell me
00:45:23That you want to be with me
00:45:26We'll be together
00:45:31We can tease each other all day
00:45:35Until you finally admit
00:45:37That you
00:45:39Still
00:45:40Love me
00:46:04You're right
00:46:04I am like an instrument
00:46:06The way I let you play me
00:46:08After what you did
00:46:09Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you
00:46:14I do not
00:46:16Want to be with Scala
00:46:17Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:20Thank you
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:24I've been telling you for months
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag
00:46:27A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:31I mean, we have a Dexter Haye size hole to fill
00:46:34And he could be the next big thing
00:46:35It's not safe, Casey, you don't need him
00:46:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:39I don't think you, of all people
00:46:42Get to tell me what I need
00:46:44Casey, Casey, Casey
00:46:48Daisy has every right to be angry with me after what I did
00:46:52I have to prove she can trust me again
00:47:01Oh
00:47:02Oh
00:47:06Perfect timing
00:47:06Make yourself comfortable
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me on such short notice
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:14I've made an exception for you
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:19I don't know what that means
00:47:21But
00:47:22You wanna hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:28Wow
00:47:30Hired to be blown away
00:47:33Actually
00:47:34I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:36So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:39Of course
00:47:41But
00:47:43You're not in a hurry
00:47:44Why don't we toast first
00:47:46To this potential partnership?
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:06How can I resist?
00:48:07I do love straight vodka
00:48:13Mmm
00:48:14But you know what I
00:48:17Actually
00:48:19Love even more than that
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:25Asshole pervs
00:48:26My hair
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think you can drug me?
00:48:31And then what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:34Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:37Not so fast
00:48:38You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely
00:48:46And a fraud
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me
00:48:58Not when I get read records
00:48:59For myself
00:49:03Don't be shy, Casey
00:49:04I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:05The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos
00:49:10All over the tabloids
00:49:11Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:13How you slept your way to the top
00:49:16Your poor father
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:20But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:22You're delusional, stay away from me
00:49:25You're fine, you don't test Sasha
00:49:27Hey!
00:49:29Get your fucking hands off
00:49:32I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:34Baxter, hey
00:49:35Are you okay?
00:49:38I'm fine
00:49:42What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:44I could sue you for that
00:49:46I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:48You're just a wash up addict
00:49:50And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:53Okay?
00:49:57Okay, I'm sorry
00:49:59Jesus
00:50:00We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:02You kinda wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:06I mean what the fuck
00:50:07God
00:50:09The name
00:50:11Is KC ring
00:50:12And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly
00:50:15Fucking in!
00:50:17Your career is dead, Sasha
00:50:19I'm not sure of that
00:50:23Let's go
00:50:30Let's go
00:50:34Give me your hand
00:50:39KC
00:50:42KC, I've been telling you for months
00:50:44Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:45My business is none of your concern
00:50:48If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:49What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you
00:50:54Yes, okay
00:50:55You could have done it
00:50:55I know
00:50:57Newsflash
00:50:57I'm not your assistant
00:51:00Anymore
00:51:00So, it's not your concern
00:51:02Where I am
00:51:03Or what I'm doing
00:51:04Okay?
00:51:05So stop
00:51:07Following me
00:51:12The car is still fucking moving
00:51:15I'll stop following you
00:51:16The minute that you
00:51:18Stop making stupid
00:51:19Fucking decisions
00:51:22And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:27You're way
00:51:29Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:33Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:42I did not
00:51:44Want to marry
00:51:46Scarlet
00:51:47You don't fucking listen
00:51:48Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:52Isn't that the point?
00:52:03So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again
00:52:15I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:19You were never the side piece
00:52:23And you know it
00:52:33Boss! I have news!
00:52:37Thank you for your help today, Dexter
00:52:41Please, stop following me
00:52:46Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:59Great timing!
00:53:00Great timing!
00:53:01As always
00:53:02Why are you even here?
00:53:03Done what you asked?
00:53:05News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:08No label, studio or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:11His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:13Good
00:53:14Buy all the rice to his music
00:53:18I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:25I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:26Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:28Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:31But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha
00:53:35There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:38All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:42He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:43Cancelled
00:53:44Who took him down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes
00:53:52He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:55He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:57Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:59Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:02For me?
00:54:03Maybe, he's not as bad as I thought
00:54:06Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:14The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:16Is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:24She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies
00:54:28She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:30Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:33Much less produce a hit track
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:38I mean, she knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:40Let alone marry her
00:54:42If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:44I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:49I think it's time
00:54:50The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:57You wanna go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:00They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:02I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:05It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:08The world? Or Dexter?
00:55:13This isn't about him
00:55:17He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:19Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:23But if you're gonna go as Echo, oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:27With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:39You're the best, Dad
00:56:02You're the best, Dad
00:56:05I'm going to go to the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:07And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:10So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:13She's a musical genius
00:56:15We need something one of a kind, just like her
00:56:18Of course!
00:56:19I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:21A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:30Please don't touch that
00:56:31Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:35Ugh, it's you
00:56:37Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:43You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:46I have to ask you to leave, now
00:56:52I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:56I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:59Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:57:02We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:04Hmm, tell that to Scarlett
00:57:07Excuse me?
00:57:08I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee
00:57:11And creative collaborator
00:57:13And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:16Yeah, you're right
00:57:18In that case
00:57:20You should have this
00:57:28No!
00:57:33Oh my God!
00:57:35What?
00:57:39Oops
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands
00:57:42My bad
00:57:45Are you insane?
00:57:46You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:50Security!
00:57:51Take this woman away
00:57:53Hold on just one second
00:57:55Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh my God
00:57:59Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:01You need to set that up for me?
00:58:02Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:58:04Okay
00:58:07Just kidding
00:58:09It's all yours now
00:58:18Scarlett
00:58:20Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:23We'll find a better option
00:58:25Mmm, mmm
00:58:30Like this one
00:58:32Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:34This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:37The genius producer
00:58:39Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:42Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available
00:58:45In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:50I'm gonna just...
00:58:53My apologies, my apologies, my apologies
00:59:04You pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:06But...
00:59:06It's not gonna stop Scarlett from...
00:59:08Choking...
00:59:09On the stage
00:59:13How dare you
00:59:15You...
00:59:16Little...
00:59:17Bitch!
00:59:22That's enough
00:59:25Hi, Dexy
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter?
00:59:32She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:34You need to do something
00:59:36Mom?
00:59:37Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:40About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:48The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:53You know, actually
00:59:55I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:56I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
01:00:03Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt
01:00:05I knew you would support me
01:00:06Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:09You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs
01:00:13And I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now
01:00:16Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store
01:00:19How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:22Wait, what?
01:00:26I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:30Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant
01:00:33You did this for me?
01:00:36You really think I need a music store?
01:00:39Well, as CEO of Reed Records you probably don't know
01:00:42But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:47Dexter!
01:00:48Are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even a real musician
01:00:52And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:00Oh, it's okay, Scarlet could have it for free
01:01:02As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:06Ah!
01:01:08Casey?
01:01:09I am not stooping to your level
01:01:11And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:14I will talk to you about this later
01:01:18You will regret this
01:01:20Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:23She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:27Thanks, Mom
01:01:34One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:36It's Miss Reed and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:41Two, my birthday was months ago
01:01:43Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:46So your gift means nothing
01:01:50Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Secret?
01:01:58What are you talking about?
01:01:59What secret?
01:02:03Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:05No
01:02:06That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:13But not anymore
01:02:16I don't need you
01:02:27Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:29Yeah?
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:31To her collection
01:02:33Yes, sir?
01:02:36Oh, one more thing
01:02:38She's fired
01:02:41Yes, sir
01:02:42Thank you
01:02:44But, Dexter, you can't do this! I love you!
01:03:00Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:05Thank you
01:03:07Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:11It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:13The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:16I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:21Alright guys, it's time, let's go
01:03:23No
01:03:24Scarlet!
01:03:38You can't start the show without me
01:03:44I knew you'd make it
01:03:45Of course she did
01:03:46Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:51You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:54I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:04:00none
01:04:01Mmm, I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:06Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:10Wreck-a-leg, Scarlet
01:04:12Or should I say
01:04:14Echo
01:04:15Don't choke
01:04:18Hope you don't choke
01:04:40The playback's down
01:04:42The track's gone, completely white
01:04:44You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make that version
01:04:51I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks
01:04:55Go fix this
01:04:57Now!
01:04:59This is bad
01:05:00Alright, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:05:02We're gonna burn the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:08I have an idea
01:05:11You're...Echo
01:05:12Right?
01:05:23Yes, it's true
01:05:25I'm Echo
01:05:26The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:31Then prove it
01:05:33Go ahead
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on, you're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:43I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:46I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:49This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:51I must have another file I can play
01:05:53I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:56Of course
01:05:58Watch me work my magic
01:06:00Hmm
01:06:17And that's how it's done
01:06:20She'll must go on
01:06:21Nice try, Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:24You can stop with the gel switch hunt now
01:06:28Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:31And can you hand from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah
01:06:43Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping them
01:06:49Don't listen to her!
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:58If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet, Scarlet
01:07:03Why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real?
01:07:05Okay, you're...
01:07:05You're Echo
01:07:06Okay?
01:07:07So, just fix the track
01:07:10Yeah
01:07:11Come on Echo
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:23Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:25You have to fix this
01:07:27I could!
01:07:28If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:30Breed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:33Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:38But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:40Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:46Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:53Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:56It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:59You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:08I can't let her expose me
01:08:10Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:15Boop!
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:44Is this part of her process?
01:08:45It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:01Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:08Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:14All right, look
01:09:17It's done
01:09:19You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am
01:09:25That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:30Yeah
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:38That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:41And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:46Read Records
01:09:49Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes, your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:55Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving the song
01:09:59Now it's over, it's over
01:10:16Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:20No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other-
01:10:23Hey!
01:10:24It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, Mom, stop
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:41I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:46If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:50For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:53And if you don't?
01:10:55Will you step down as Read Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:59Happily
01:11:01Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records CEO dig her own grave
01:11:08It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:12Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:15Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:19Right now
01:11:20Right now?
01:11:27I am not the kind for a show
01:11:34This is not a one-time thing
01:11:37Lights are low, but are still blue
01:11:43This morning's got a sting
01:11:47Good!
01:11:50Now let's make a hit
01:11:59Let's fucking go!
01:12:15Let's fucking go!
01:12:16Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:21So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23I-I-I can't, I don't have but-
01:12:25You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:29I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:35Since when has Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:38That sound, it's familiar
01:12:39Familiar
01:12:46Stop! Stop it!
01:13:01Casey
01:13:04You're Echo
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed
01:13:08Is Echo?
01:13:10This is my song!
01:13:11She just ripped it off!
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:14Don't listen to her!
01:13:17I'm Echo!
01:13:21I didn't even make that version
01:13:22I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:25Go fix this!
01:13:29Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:36She's the one that saved the song!
01:13:38No, that was me!
01:13:39I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit!
01:13:42I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:45So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:48You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:50But you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:56I think you might just be surprised
01:13:59200 million
01:14:00200 million?
01:14:02For one song?
01:14:04That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:07And...
01:14:08I want my name to be credited
01:14:12Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:14And one last thing
01:14:16I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:21That's ridiculous!
01:14:23Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean, you don't have to
01:14:26I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:27And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:29And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:32So...
01:14:32What will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking
01:14:42I was wrong about you
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song
01:14:47I'm sorry
01:14:50And you?
01:14:52Do it
01:14:53Apologize to her
01:14:54That bitch!
01:14:56Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything
01:14:59Come on, let's hear it
01:15:01Tell the world the truth
01:15:02Scarlet
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo
01:15:05I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:09They are happy?
01:15:12They are happy?
01:15:16Wait, that's not what I really meant
01:15:18Dexter
01:15:20She manipulated me
01:15:22You're still my fiance
01:15:23Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see
01:15:26You fucking bought and you're a damn liar
01:15:30Casey is the one who built my career
01:15:32Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:15:35She's the only one who ever cared about me
01:15:38Or loved me
01:15:41Our engagement is off
01:15:43And so is the record
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album
01:16:08The album
01:16:09Terminating your contract
01:16:11And blacklisting you from the industry
01:16:12Career is over
01:16:19Got yourself a DL case
01:16:29Hit it
01:16:35If we're not here for long
01:16:41Tell me where would we belong?
01:16:46My back is pressed against the wall
01:16:51I need you to know
01:16:54I need you to know
01:16:54I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:58Your name's on fire in my wings
01:17:03It's burning through my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:14Who am I to live like?
01:17:17Who am I to live like?
01:17:39Who am I to live like?
01:17:41Mira andã‚‹
01:17:43Who am I to live like?
01:17:52Yeah, I need you to know
01:18:21Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know,
01:18:24are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast,
01:18:29and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry,
01:18:33and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore!
01:18:42You ruined everything!
01:18:46Dexter was going to be mine!
01:18:49I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way.
01:19:05Hey, that won't happen again.
01:19:07Hey, say!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
01:19:17Dex, no!
01:19:20Dex, Dex, stay with me!
01:19:22Oh, my God!
01:19:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:30You've been here all night.
01:19:32You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:39as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:19:42You know, if you say so.
01:19:43But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:19:45why he risked his own life to save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now.
01:19:50Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:53Casey,
01:19:55Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together,
01:20:06they made millions believe in love.
01:20:09Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:12I mean,
01:20:13a love like that burns bright,
01:20:14but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:22Hmm?
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives
01:20:26want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:29and sign him to the label again.
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping,
01:20:40but you can see him now.
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:20:49Princess.
01:21:06It was a close call.
01:21:08One centimeter to the right.
01:21:09He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:11If Dex couldn't sing anymore,
01:21:14his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Oh, hopefully.
01:21:17He'll recover.
01:21:17But for now,
01:21:20all you need is rest.
01:21:21That's it.
01:21:23Okay?
01:21:23Okay.
01:21:29What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:33How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:37If you don't make it through this,
01:21:39I will never forgive you.
01:21:42Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52My God, you're beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:07Casey, I...
01:22:12I miss you.
01:22:13I miss him, too.
01:22:15But everything we've put each other through,
01:22:17can we really be together again?
01:22:20You saved my life, and...
01:22:25I will be forever grateful.
01:22:30And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:33And we can go our separate ways.
01:22:35We can end on a high note.
01:22:36No.
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:12I only did it because I had to.
01:23:14They forced you to choose her.
01:23:16I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:19I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:22I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:24And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:26And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:28And I...
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:23:45Me neither.
01:23:49You're my little muse.
01:23:54My pop star.
01:24:18You're my world, Casey.
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:30I know.
01:24:32But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:35I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:39stuff.
01:24:40I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:24:42I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:24:45That's all I need.
01:24:48We do it together.
01:24:54I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:24:57Okay.
01:25:00I want us to do this together.
01:25:04I love you.
01:25:07I love you, too.
01:25:21This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:26Then you'd better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:30Yes, ma'am.
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:25:45But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:25:53I love you, too.
01:26:08I love you, too.
01:26:25We're together.
01:26:38We're together.
01:26:41We're together.
01:26:41The stuff in the stockings
01:26:44But I am still walking
01:26:47And you're all through
01:26:51Was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreated
01:26:56Every time I look at the moon
01:27:01For my dream of the night
01:27:03It's lost forever
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:10That it's time for you and me
01:27:15Cause the band is so far
01:27:19We're just a little
01:27:25Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
01:27:31Just a little
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:38I dream of the night
01:27:41It's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:49I'm taking and talking
01:27:50But I will be walking
01:27:55You're the hell
01:27:57Mirror heaven
01:28:00My heart is still beating
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07I imagine a world
01:28:09We're together
01:28:10All right, yeah, yeah
