00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Okay.
00:02:11Hey, Case, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14It's just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:31His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:36You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:05I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:26And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes.
00:03:38Wait for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:48he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:51A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody.
00:03:57Fans already love us.
00:03:58Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart, Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:07She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:14I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:17Hope you enjoy.
00:04:27Shit!
00:04:28The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:31I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:33Echo can fix this.
00:04:37Are you here?
00:04:38I need your help.
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:56There.
00:04:57Your gear from the studio.
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad!
00:05:02We've talked about this.
00:05:03In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:06But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:09You made him the star he is.
00:05:13I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:14But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:18Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:22When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:44Oh, my God.
00:05:46These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:49Is Casey Echo?
00:05:59Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:06:02Play that song!
00:06:03Play that song!
00:06:04God, where's Casey?
00:06:06She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:07The show is a disaster.
00:06:09The fans are waiting.
00:06:10Can you please find her?
00:06:11I need her.
00:06:12No, Dexter.
00:06:14I'm the one you need.
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel.
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:30Are you her?
00:06:35Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did.
00:06:42Wait.
00:06:44Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:49Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:07:01Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:19Wait, didn't Echo just make the new track?
00:07:22Uh, and we're back.
00:07:24Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29At least I thought so.
00:07:39Get ready, Dex.
00:07:40The next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:48I'm a man as I am.
00:07:54I'm a man as I am.
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19The secret feeling I'd get out
00:08:21Knowing I was running out of time
00:09:14How could Casey do this?
00:09:20To me
00:09:21Everyone give it up for Dexter Hay
00:09:23He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:38To announce our relationship
00:09:41I loved her
00:09:42And she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my god
00:09:56Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:02Oh my god
00:10:07Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:14I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:22But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:46Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:50Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:57You promised me
00:11:02That you tell the world about us tonight
00:11:05But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you-you-you gave me no choice
00:11:14I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Oh
00:11:24Okay, I-I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:26Alright, I don't-
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:11:32What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:39Okay, so-so-so that's why
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo
00:11:52You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is
00:11:58You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:23To please your adoring fans?
00:12:25To boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:37Just
00:12:38Your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This
00:12:46Is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first little platinum album
00:12:53That's my notebook
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius
00:12:59And you're just
00:13:01Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:03Give it back
00:13:04How?
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me
00:13:07Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't
00:13:09I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:12Dexter, baby
00:13:14I know all about girls like her
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you
00:13:22She has been for years
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:31Okay, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car
00:13:37Please
00:13:43Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:51So please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:53Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:59Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:22We're over
00:14:23Dex
00:14:27Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dex everything
00:15:08I made his career, but
00:15:11He doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:13What happened, princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart
00:15:17She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:22I'll
00:15:27Pacey. Pacey, where are you?
00:15:39Looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go.
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet. We won't hurt you.
00:15:52We're your friends too.
00:15:54We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:09I wasn't stealing him. We were in love.
00:16:13Or I thought we were.
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:21is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room. Come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:39Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:43You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert.
00:16:54Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:57Dexter is coming.
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is.
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:10She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him too?
00:17:18Our precious Dexter.
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:25You don't deserve to live.
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:31So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true.
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:40You're psychotic.
00:17:42No, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:46and maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:51You're crazier than they are.
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey.
00:17:59Dex!
00:18:06Dexter!
00:18:07Casey!
00:18:08Dexter! Dexter!
00:18:11Dexter, help me!
00:18:12They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:17Okay guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well if you love me, alright?
00:18:31You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works.
00:18:37Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now, you can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me,
00:18:49did they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:02They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart.
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter, Dexter, please, think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:39You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder me.
00:19:43That's email. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, alright? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now wait a minute, you told me that-
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate,
00:20:17and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no!
00:20:27I guess this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:37Put the gun down!
00:20:39Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go, let's go!
00:20:55Let's go, let's go!
00:20:55Let's go, okay.
00:20:56Oh, come on, okay.
00:20:58Okay.
00:21:03It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die!
00:21:08And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:11I was right to walk away.
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:17Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:19They were gonna make me-
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow, Dex!
00:21:25Goodbye!
00:21:30K-Casey, Casey!
00:21:32Hey!
00:21:40K-Casey!
00:21:42K-Casey, stop!
00:21:43Please, stop!
00:21:44Please, please, please!
00:21:44Where are you gonna go?
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:21:54You're delusional!
00:21:55He doesn't need you!
00:21:56He has Echo!
00:21:58Yeah!
00:21:59Sure he does!
00:22:01Fame really has to do that!
00:22:02Fame changed you, Dexter Hayes!
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time!
00:22:17I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to-
00:22:53Oh my god, that's- that's- that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:59So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04Nothing.
00:23:04You're here now, take me home.
00:23:16Come in there!
00:23:18I'm gonna give him aēć!
00:23:19Let me give you aēć!
00:23:20Let me give you aēć!
00:23:21Welcome to the EĆ¼nde, our next one!
00:23:22We're here, I'm gonna give you aēć!
00:23:23I was trying to!
00:23:24Hey, now we're here, you already have everything you ever want!
00:23:26You're mine!
00:23:27Here you're mine!
00:23:27I was trying to-
00:23:28Get the head!
00:23:30If you want-
00:23:30Muscle
00:23:36Muscle
00:23:47Ms. Scarlett
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it, I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:58I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first, and when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label
00:24:07in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me, but the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, princess.
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:45Records, and my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:00My back is pressed.
00:25:08My back is pressed.
00:25:19Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:33The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:45Are you really, Echo?
00:25:51Are you really, Echo?
00:25:55Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:59It's just your new assistant.
00:26:02He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:23It's dead, too.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:22So why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:24a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse tangled hair?
00:28:52Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:01I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:16How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:27Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look!
00:29:52Here she is now!
00:30:04No fucking way!
00:30:08No fucking way!
00:30:30Kasey?
00:30:34Kasey?
00:30:35Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:25hit.
00:31:41Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:47But this party is for the elite, with the music industry only.
00:31:51I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:53But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want. But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant, playing dress up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm. They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm. Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful. The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:30-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking
00:33:41hard,
00:33:41your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed. Hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:55Well, I'd really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes. Of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:11daughter.
00:34:12Yeah, the heiress to the Reed records fortune.
00:34:14Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:19and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:28I think we could really make something special.
00:34:30Yeah.
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:34And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with, uh, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:43make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here.
00:35:01Casey.
00:35:03Casey.
00:35:03Casey.
00:35:05Casey.
00:35:08Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days.
00:35:12And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:16I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:29What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only.
00:35:39Yeah.
00:35:41Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:52night.
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:59Yeah, right.
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys.
00:36:09Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex.
00:36:18You forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what-
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:43But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:55on one of them.
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:10He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:12Alright, this is it.
00:37:13He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:15I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess.
00:37:26And the light of my life.
00:37:29My daughter.
00:37:30Casey Reed.
00:37:35What?
00:37:37No.
00:37:46Again, no鳓 translates.
00:37:49musstiered wounds.
00:37:55I couldnt leave anything closer.
00:37:57With a John-a-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an
00:37:59-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an
00:38:04-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an-an.
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:19She just committed career suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour.
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad, this is too much.
00:38:31There was something from the old man,
00:38:33and now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:36This cannot be happening.
00:38:38She's a nobody.
00:38:42I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me,
00:38:44but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:49He was her father.
00:38:51This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth,
00:38:56and instead of trusting her,
00:38:57I left her for another woman.
00:38:59How could I be so blind?
00:39:08What suits you?
00:39:10Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:19I've known you for years
00:39:24I thought you'd stay the same
00:39:28All of those years
00:39:30I just...
00:39:32I still miss you.
00:39:42Shouldn't you be licking your fiancƩ's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO
00:39:48of the most powerful music company
00:39:50has got to hurt,
00:39:52but, I mean,
00:39:52you of all people should know.
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that, that's,
00:40:09that's not why I'm here.
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand,
00:40:16I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:18I lied?
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:19And what would you call
00:40:20getting engaged to Scarlet
00:40:21after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen!
00:40:26You have to believe me, please!
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing.
00:40:32I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:35Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, Tank, your career.
00:40:43I made his career.
00:40:46I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:49You might have found out who my father is today,
00:40:51but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:53Wait.
00:40:58This...
00:40:58This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:01Why you left me for dead.
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:08Threw me to the curb
00:41:10for the fame,
00:41:12the fortune,
00:41:13the fans.
00:41:14No, no, please.
00:41:14No, no, no.
00:41:15Actually, I think
00:41:16it's time to make my first decision
00:41:18as the new CEO.
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:28Reed Records
00:41:29will be ending its contract
00:41:31with Dexter Hayes
00:41:33and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:40Effective immediately.
00:41:42Oh, my God.
00:41:42Oh, my God.
00:41:43Oh, my God.
00:41:44Oh, my God.
00:41:48You know,
00:41:48I am so glad
00:41:51I never told you who I really was
00:41:53because if I didn't,
00:41:54I might not have ever found out
00:41:55that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:57Casey,
00:41:58none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this.
00:42:00I don't care about that.
00:42:00I've always loved you.
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:42:05She may be rich,
00:42:06but she's just an arrogant nepo baby
00:42:08with no real talent.
00:42:10Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:12She can produce...
00:42:13Casey!
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts
00:42:16with or without Reed Records.
00:42:17Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:19She doesn't understand you
00:42:21like Scarlet does.
00:42:22Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:23Stop.
00:42:24You're my mom,
00:42:26not my manager,
00:42:27all right?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this.
00:42:31I'm done talking about this.
00:42:50I've known you for years
00:42:55I've thought you'd stay the same
00:42:59All of those years
00:43:03I've broken here in the blade
00:43:17I'm still missing you
00:43:22I'm still
00:43:24I'm still
00:43:26I'm still
00:43:28I'm still
00:43:28I'm still
00:43:28I'm still
00:43:40I'm still
00:43:41I'm still
00:43:41I'm still
00:43:45I'm still
00:43:53I'm still
00:43:54I thought I was clear
00:43:55our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:57You're no longer welcome
00:43:58at Reed Records.
00:43:59I just
00:44:00came to pick up
00:44:01my equipment.
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got to know the truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's
00:44:09anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:32Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:44Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:47In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:55I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:59I just want you.
00:45:00And I know that you want me to.
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten
00:45:06what we had.
00:45:08I've been trying to.
00:45:10But being this close again,
00:45:11it feels
00:45:14impossible.
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:17But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:25I don't care
00:45:26about the fans.
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:31If you tell me
00:45:32that you want to be with me,
00:45:35we'll be together.
00:45:40We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46that you
00:45:47still
00:45:49love me.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:14I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did,
00:46:19why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me.
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:31Hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months.
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag with over
00:46:38a hundred million streams.
00:46:40I mean,
00:46:41we have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill
00:46:43and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you,
00:46:50of all people,
00:46:51get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey.
00:46:58Casey has every right
00:46:59to be angry with me
00:47:00after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank you for meeting me
00:47:18on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:21women who speak too much.
00:47:23I've been an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:26in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means,
00:47:30but
00:47:32you want to hear
00:47:33one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:36I'm very excited
00:47:37about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Well,
00:47:40I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:42Actually,
00:47:43I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:45if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there
00:47:47faking their music with AI,
00:47:48you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:51But
00:47:53you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first
00:47:55to this potential partnership?
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:24But you know what I
00:48:27actually
00:48:29love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing
00:48:34asshole pervs.
00:48:36My hair!
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you
00:48:42to read records?
00:48:44Now you know
00:48:45who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could
00:48:49just walk in here
00:48:50and demand a live performance
00:48:51from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look
00:48:54like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:56And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure
00:49:01no label will ever
00:49:02sign you
00:49:03no matter how talented
00:49:04you are.
00:49:06I want me to label
00:49:07to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can read records
00:49:09for myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping
00:49:15you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi
00:49:16will be here any minute
00:49:17to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos
00:49:19all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see
00:49:22what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slept
00:49:24your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have
00:49:29no choice
00:49:29but to hand you
00:49:31and your company
00:49:31over to me.
00:49:32You're delusional.
00:49:34Stay away from me.
00:49:36You're fine.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37that.
00:49:38Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:45Mr. Hayes.
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine.
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that.
00:49:57I'd love to see you try
00:49:58as we are.
00:49:59You're just a wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not have
00:50:01a leg to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have produced
00:50:11a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted
00:50:13to defend this
00:50:14used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19The name
00:50:20is Casey Ring.
00:50:22And she's the future
00:50:23of the industry
00:50:24that you want so badly
00:50:26fucking in!
00:50:28Your career is dead,
00:50:29Sasha.

00:50:41Let's go.

00:51:01would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea
00:51:02what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.

00:51:06I know!
00:51:08Newsflash!
00:51:08I'm not your assistant

00:51:11So,
00:51:11it's not your concern
00:51:13where I am

00:51:41in my personal life,
00:51:43Dex.

00:51:52for weeks
00:51:53I did not

00:52:28but I can't
00:52:29deny how much
00:52:30I miss his touch.
00:52:31You were never
00:52:31the side piece.
00:52:34and you know it.
00:52:45Boss!
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:48Thank you
00:52:49for your help
00:52:50today,
00:52:51Dexter.
00:52:53Please
00:52:54stop following me.
00:52:58Or else
00:52:59it's gonna get
00:52:59harder and harder
00:53:00to walk away.
00:53:11great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15Done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's
00:53:17fraudulence
00:53:18and drug abuse
00:53:18have been leaked
00:53:19to the press.
00:53:20No label,
00:53:21studio,
00:53:21brand will go
00:53:22anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth
00:53:23plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rice
00:53:26to his music.
00:53:29I'm gonna give that
00:53:30to Casey
00:53:30as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what
00:53:37happened with
00:53:37Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was
00:53:39way too risky,
00:53:40Casey.
00:53:40Look,
00:53:41I'm far from
00:53:41Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:42but that could've
00:53:43gotten real ugly
00:53:44if he hadn't
00:53:45shown up.
00:53:45I could've handled
00:53:46Sasha.
00:53:47There was also
00:53:48a huge leak
00:53:48in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:51dirty laundry
00:53:52out for everyone
00:53:53to see.
00:53:53He's been,
00:53:54what do you kids
00:53:54call it,
00:53:55canceled.
00:53:56Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought
00:54:05the rights
00:54:05to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing
00:54:08anything anywhere
00:54:09or get sued
00:54:10to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down
00:54:12Sasha Silver
00:54:13for me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad
00:54:17as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should
00:54:19stop interfering
00:54:20himself with my life.
00:54:25The world famous
00:54:27music producer Echo
00:54:28is set to finally
00:54:29reveal their identity
00:54:30at the legendary
00:54:31Universal Music Awards
00:54:32tomorrow night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting
00:54:35desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to
00:54:36convince the world
00:54:37she's Echo
00:54:38before it can
00:54:38expose her lies.
00:54:39She can't keep up
00:54:41the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later
00:54:43Dexter will realize
00:54:43she can't even
00:54:44hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce
00:54:46a hit track.
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing
00:54:48if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter
00:54:51wouldn't look at her
00:54:52twice, let alone
00:54:53marry her,
00:54:54if she wasn't
00:54:55pretending to be
00:54:55a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how
00:54:57she thinks she's
00:54:58going to get away
00:54:58with it.
00:55:00I think it's time
00:55:02the world finds out
00:55:03who the real Echo
00:55:04is.
00:55:09You want to go
00:55:10to the UMAs
00:55:11as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me
00:55:13every year
00:55:13and I've always
00:55:13refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam
00:55:16go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world
00:55:18finds out the truth
00:55:19about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world
00:55:21or Dexter.
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed
00:55:30when he proposed
00:55:30to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter
00:55:32deserves all the
00:55:33recognition of the
00:55:33world.
00:55:35But if you're
00:55:36going to go
00:55:36as Echo,
00:55:37oh, you're
00:55:37going to do it
00:55:38right.
00:55:39With the best
00:55:40equipment money
00:55:40can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people
00:55:45to see my princess
00:55:46for the queen
00:55:47that she is.
00:55:51You're the best,
00:55:52Dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes.
00:56:08It's so good
00:56:09to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:15My future daughter-in-law
00:56:16is performing
00:56:17at the Universal Music
00:56:19Awards tomorrow
00:56:19and I'd like to gift
00:56:21her something
00:56:21to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these
00:56:24mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something
00:56:29one of a kind
00:56:29just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the perfect
00:56:33gift for her.
00:56:34A custom
00:56:35Fender Signature
00:56:36Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't touch
00:56:44that.
00:56:44Those instruments
00:56:45are only for
00:56:46our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Ugh.
00:56:49It's you.
00:56:50Get this
00:56:51career-sabotaging
00:56:52stalker
00:56:53out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing
00:56:57our VIP customers.
00:56:58I have to ask you
00:56:59to leave
00:57:00now.
00:57:05I'm the CEO
00:57:06of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as much
00:57:10of a right to be here
00:57:11as you.
00:57:12Because of your
00:57:13Nepo baby connections,
00:57:14we all know money
00:57:15can't buy talent.
00:57:17Hmm.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:23fiancee
00:57:24and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really
00:57:26know anything
00:57:27about music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31In that case,
00:57:33you should have this.
00:57:40No!
00:57:45Oh my God!
00:57:48Oh my God!
00:58:05I need to speak to the
00:58:12owner about an offer.
00:58:14You think you said
00:58:14that for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course,
00:58:16Mr. Hayes.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlett,
00:58:33ignore this
00:58:34wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find
00:58:37a better option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used this
00:58:46on her last album.
00:58:48This instrument
00:58:49is worthy of Echo,
00:58:51the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:55Actually,
00:58:55actually,
00:58:56this guitar
00:58:57is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact,
00:59:00my entire collection
00:59:01is on hold
00:59:02for the new owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies,
00:59:08my apologies.
00:59:08Apologies.
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look.
00:59:13We just want the one guitar.
00:59:14I'm sure we can come
00:59:15to a generous agreement.
00:59:17You could pay
00:59:18all you want
00:59:18for the guitar,
00:59:19but it's not gonna
00:59:20stop Scarlett
00:59:21from choking
00:59:22on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you,
00:59:28you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:39Hi, Dexie.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter,
00:59:45she just insulted
00:59:46your Beyonce.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:50Mom,
00:59:50do you really want
00:59:51to have a conversation
00:59:52right here and now
00:59:53about the current status
00:59:54of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent
00:59:57as a producer
00:59:58is the reason
00:59:58you're as famous
00:59:59as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do
01:00:03is show her
01:00:04a little respect.
01:00:06You know what,
01:00:07actually,
01:00:08I'm sorry,
01:00:08you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect
01:00:11to the one person
01:00:13who's always been there
01:00:13for me.
01:00:16Please ring up
01:00:16the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you
01:00:19would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes,
01:00:21it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know,
01:00:23why don't you ask
01:00:24the new owner
01:00:25how much it costs
01:00:26and I'll pay it
01:00:27whatever it is
01:00:27right here and now.
01:00:29Miss Reed,
01:00:31as the new owner
01:00:32of the store,
01:00:32how much would you
01:00:33like to charge
01:00:34the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry,
01:00:40I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider it
01:00:44a late birthday gift
01:00:45for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think
01:00:51I need a music store?
01:00:53Well,
01:00:53as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:54you probably don't know.
01:00:55But I'm someone
01:00:57who cares about you a lot.
01:00:58Why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter,
01:01:02are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even
01:01:04a real musician
01:01:06and you gave her
01:01:07the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us
01:01:10pay her
01:01:11for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have it
01:01:15for free
01:01:15as long as she shows us
01:01:17the big hit
01:01:18that she's working on.
01:01:21Cassie,
01:01:22I am not
01:01:23stooping to your level.
01:01:24And besides,
01:01:26we're late for hair
01:01:26and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you
01:01:29about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Cassie has done
01:01:35nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face
01:01:38with no talent
01:01:39to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:46Hi.
01:01:47One,
01:01:48I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed
01:01:51and I'm the CEO
01:01:52of Reed Records.
01:01:53Two,
01:01:54my birthday was months ago.
01:01:57Actually,
01:01:57the night that you
01:01:58proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:59so your gift
01:02:00means nothing.
01:02:03Did you know
01:02:04I was actually gonna tell you
01:02:05my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:10Secret?
01:02:11What are you talking about?
01:02:12What's secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to spend
01:02:21every single day
01:02:21of the rest of my life
01:02:22with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention
01:02:41to anything she just said.
01:02:42I want you to get

01:03:32Music Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scarlett!
01:03:52You can't start
01:03:53the show without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably
01:04:01got her a ticket
01:04:02after she cried
01:04:02about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlett.
01:04:05You know,
01:04:06I'm actually surprised
01:04:07you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be
01:04:09too painful for you
01:04:10to witness people
01:04:11with actual talent
01:04:12perform when
01:04:13you yourself
01:04:14have none.
01:04:15Mm.
01:04:16I'm getting
01:04:17a lecture about
01:04:18talent from you.
01:04:20Oh.
01:04:21Guess we'll see
01:04:21who's real
01:04:22and who's fake
01:04:22tonight.
01:04:24Wreck-a-legs, Scarlett.
01:04:25Or should I say
01:04:27Echo.
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:56The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:59You have another version
01:05:00of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make
01:05:06that version.
01:05:07I had to pay
01:05:07Taylor Swift's producer
01:05:08to send me
01:05:09to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:16Everyone's just out there
01:05:16staring at us.
01:05:18We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:19and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:21What are we gonna do?
01:05:22I have an idea.
01:05:25You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes.
01:05:39It's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo.
01:05:42The award-winning producer
01:05:44and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:45long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us
01:05:52a live track
01:05:52right here, right now?
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean,
01:05:57this is your chance
01:05:58to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean,
01:06:00the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know
01:06:03what any of these buttons
01:06:03even do.
01:06:04This bitch
01:06:05is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file
01:06:08I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look
01:06:10like I'm mixing in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done.
01:06:35Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:38Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop
01:06:41with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay,
01:06:44can you boost the treble
01:06:45on the EQ in the middle
01:06:46and can you pan
01:06:47from stage left to stage right
01:06:49real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn,
01:07:00I guess you're gonna have to do
01:07:01with the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means
01:07:03recording the instruments
01:07:04while I've looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her!
01:07:07She doesn't know
01:07:07what it takes
01:07:08to make a track
01:07:08of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't the first time
01:07:11one of Dexter's tracks
01:07:12have been corrected.
01:07:14If I didn't know any better,
01:07:16I'd think you were
01:07:16trying to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:19why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real, okay?
01:07:21You're Echo, okay?
01:07:23So, just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What,
01:07:29you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet,
01:07:40you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could,
01:07:45if I had something
01:07:46other than this shoddy
01:07:47Breed Records
01:07:48music equipment
01:07:48to work with.
01:07:49Casey,
01:07:50if you're such a genius,
01:07:51why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh,
01:07:53I,
01:07:54I actually would,
01:07:54gladly,
01:07:55but it's actually
01:07:56your big night,
01:07:56so why don't you
01:07:58show everyone
01:07:58the brilliant Echo
01:07:59and how you made
01:08:00Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:05Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:07Echo!
01:08:08Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some MIDI instruments,
01:08:11lay them down,
01:08:12make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think
01:08:16your fiancƩ
01:08:17is going to be able
01:08:18to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean,
01:08:19if she goes down,
01:08:20you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:27Not when I'm so close
01:08:28to marrying Dexter
01:08:29and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius
01:08:56to make that racket
01:08:57sound like music.
01:09:18Oh my God,
01:09:19is Scarlet Heart
01:09:20tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on, Echo.
01:09:23Show them your talent.
01:09:24Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage.
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:36You're really going to
01:09:36give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it
01:09:40all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:43That whole career
01:09:43that I fought for
01:09:45for however,
01:09:45how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to
01:09:54once told me
01:09:55that there's a lot more
01:09:56to life than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows,
01:09:59maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:01as a personal assistant
01:10:02for the new CEO
01:10:03of Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter,
01:10:06stop it
01:10:07with those awful jokes.
01:10:09Your entire life's work
01:10:11is on the line.
01:10:12Mom,
01:10:13you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving the song.
01:10:16Now, it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:32Well,
01:10:33I guess it's time
01:10:34for the next act
01:10:35of this show.
01:10:37No, no.
01:10:38There's no,
01:10:39there's no other...
01:10:41Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let
01:10:42a real musician
01:10:43take the stage.
01:10:51What the hell
01:10:52do you think
01:10:53you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard her, Scarlett?
01:10:59I mean,
01:11:00you can stay
01:11:01unless you want to go down
01:11:02as the worst performer
01:11:03in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix
01:11:05a whole live track,
01:11:06what makes you think
01:11:07you could?
01:11:08For one,
01:11:09I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't?
01:11:12Will you step down
01:11:14as Reed Records CEO
01:11:15if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone,
01:11:22we're about to watch
01:11:23the Reed Records CEO
01:11:24dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo
01:11:26is having technical difficulties
01:11:28with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live,
01:11:31let's make something new.
01:11:33Dexter, sing me
01:11:33the first line of your song,
01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now?
01:11:44I am not
01:11:46the kind
01:11:48for a show.
01:11:51This is not
01:11:53a one-time thing.
01:11:56Lights are low,
01:11:57but I still glow.
01:12:00This morning's got
01:12:02a sting.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:08Now let's make a hit.
01:12:17Let's fucking go.
01:12:33Wait,
01:12:34what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean,
01:12:38you produced this,
01:12:39right?
01:12:39So do you want
01:12:39to go ahead
01:12:40and take over?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have,
01:12:42but you don't need
01:12:44anything except
01:12:45for a band
01:12:45and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean,
01:12:47you are a musician,
01:12:48right?
01:12:52Since when
01:12:53has Casey Reed
01:12:54a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds,
01:12:56it's familiar.
01:12:58not the kind
01:13:00for a show.
01:13:03This is not
01:13:04a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:19Casey.
01:13:21You're Echo.
01:13:23Does this mean
01:13:23Casey Reed
01:13:24is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song.
01:13:28She just ripped it off.
01:13:30Who's suing now,
01:13:31Scarlet?
01:13:32Don't listen to her.
01:13:35I'm Echo.
01:13:38I didn't even
01:13:39make that version.
01:13:40I had to pay
01:13:40Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:41to send me
01:13:42one of her reject tracks.
01:13:43Go fix this.
01:13:47Now everyone
01:13:48knows the truth.
01:13:54She's the one
01:13:54that saved the song.
01:13:55No,
01:13:56that was me.
01:13:57I already did
01:13:58all the work.
01:13:58She's just
01:13:59taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix
01:14:01the track live,
01:14:02Dexter,
01:14:03so that makes it
01:14:04my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome
01:14:07to put it on
01:14:07your next album,
01:14:08but you're gonna
01:14:09have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think
01:14:12you could afford
01:14:12my fee.
01:14:14I think you might
01:14:15just be surprised.
01:14:17Two hundred million.
01:14:18Two hundred million?
01:14:21For one song?
01:14:22It's more than
01:14:23our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:26And I want
01:14:27my name to be credited.
01:14:29Bad deal,
01:14:30Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public
01:14:35apology from
01:14:37Scarlet Hart
01:14:38and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we
01:14:41apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean,
01:14:43you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just go ahead
01:14:45and leave,
01:14:45and then Scarlet
01:14:46could finish the album,
01:14:47and Dexter's career
01:14:48could crash and burn.
01:14:49so what will it be?
01:14:56The clock is ticking.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:01You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:08And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:11Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to
01:15:15apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on,
01:15:18let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlet.
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo,
01:15:24I pretended,
01:15:25and I never wrote
01:15:25or produced
01:15:26any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:27They are happy!
01:15:31They are happy!
01:15:34Wait,
01:15:35that's not
01:15:36what I really meant!
01:15:37Dexter,
01:15:39she manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiancƩ!
01:15:41You believe me?
01:15:42Scarlet,
01:15:42you are exactly
01:15:43what we all see.
01:15:44You're fucking brought
01:15:45in.
01:15:46You're a damn liar!
01:15:48Casey
01:15:49is the one
01:15:50who built my career.
01:15:51Hell,
01:15:51she's the one
01:15:51who saved the damn song!
01:15:54She's the only one
01:15:55who ever cared about me
01:15:57or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement
01:16:00is off,
01:16:01and so is the record.
01:16:25Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract
01:16:29and blacklisting you
01:16:30from the industry.
01:16:31Two years old.
01:16:37You got yourself
01:16:39the old case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:54If we're not here
01:16:57for long
01:16:58Tell me where
01:17:01would we belong
01:17:03My back is fast
01:17:07against the wall
01:17:09I need you to know
01:17:12I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:16Your name's on fire
01:17:19in my veins
01:17:21It's burning for my chains
01:17:27Who are you to tell me
01:17:29Who are you to tell me why
01:17:32Who am I to look like
01:17:37This mirror shows
01:17:39a thousand faces
01:17:41But you're not
01:17:43the mountain
01:17:43on over the floor
01:17:49And I must be
01:17:49who am I to do
01:17:50full jaar and
01:17:51Why do
01:17:56And to
01:18:58Arrogant fucking whore.
01:19:01You ruined everything.
01:19:05Dexter was going to be mine.
01:19:07I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world.
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:32No!
01:19:39Dex!
01:19:39Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my god!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:54Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:57As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so.
01:20:02But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:41Hmm?
01:20:42Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:43The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:56If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um...
01:22:53We can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:12Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I...
01:23:36I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:45And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:48And I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:06Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:20Reminds me.
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:39You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08You do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you, too.
01:25:41It's the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:05But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy it.
01:26:34I love you, too.
01:26:43Imagine a world where we're together.
01:26:58Things go on.
01:27:02Stuff in the stockings.
01:27:05But I am still walking through all you do.
01:27:11I was the fool who I hated.
01:27:14Now I'm recreated.
01:27:17Every time I look at the moon's fall.
01:27:21I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:35Just a day so far.
01:27:39Just a little.
01:27:43Just a little.
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am.
01:27:52Just a little.
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:58I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:02Yeah, yeah
01:28:08I'm taking and talking
01:28:11But I will be watching
01:28:14Yeah, yeah
01:28:17The mirror in heaven
01:28:20My heart is still beating
01:28:22And every time I remember to smile
01:28:27I imagine a world where we're together
