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.
00:03:01He doesn't call me pretty.
00:03:03He knows better than I think.
00:03:06I've been to my city, I'm Haitian for it.
00:03:09It's bad.
00:03:11Yeah!
00:03:11He needs everything right in me.
00:03:14Simpsons on my face.
00:03:15I need champagne, it's great.
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter
00:03:33Hayes!
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 crumpiest sister.
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.
00:04:02Dexter 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.
00:04:15Hope you enjoy.
00:04:17Don't get it!
00:04:18Let's go!
00:04:19Let's go!
00:04:20Let's go!
00:04:20Let's go!
00:04:22Let's go!
00:04:22Let's go!
00:04:22Let's go!
00:04:23Let's go!
00:04:23Let's go!
00:04:24Let's go!
00:04:25Let's go!
00:04:26Let's go!
00:04:27The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:29I can't let Dex's show get ruined!
00:04:31Echo 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 system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be right
00:04:51back.
00:04:55There, your gear from the studio.
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad, we'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, but for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:17Thanks.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh my god, these are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:47Is Casey Echo?
00:05:58Time to save Dex'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?
00:06:22This is Echo's novel.
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:33Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's one 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, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:20Uh, and we're back.
00:07:22Well, I, uh, 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, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:46I'm a man as I am.
00:07:53I'm a man as I am.
00:08:13The time I looked into your eye.
00:08:17The secret field in the gate.
00:08:19I know I was running out of time.
00:08:23Let's go.
00:08:36I love it.
00:08:40Bye bye.
00:08:42Bye bye.
00:08:44Time.
00:08:44Bye bye.
00:08:46Bye bye.
00:08:47Bye bye.
00:08:47Bye bye bye.
00:08:50Bye bye bye.
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.
00:09:52Oh my god!
00:09:54Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:58Yes!
00:10:00Oh my god!
00:10:05Dexie!
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, but 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, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:37What?
00:10:40What?
00:10:40What?
00:10:44What?
00:10:45What?
00:10:45Hey, uh...
00:10:47Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:07Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09What?
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.
00:11:21Okay?
00:11:22I owe her, okay?
00:11:23I owe her, alright?
00:11:23I 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.
00:11:36Okay?
00:11:37So, so, so that's why.
00:11:39What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:50You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is.
00:11:56You know what?
00:11:56I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:01And 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.
00:12:15Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be a 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.
00:12:35Just your music.
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41Hmm?
00:12:44This is my notebook.
00:12:46Full of songs that I wrote for 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 Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:01Keep 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.
00:13:09Dexie, 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.
00:13:35Please.
00:13:40Casey.
00:13:45Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:48Please.
00:13:49Just tell me the truth.
00:13:51Okay?
00:13:51Right now.
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:57Please.
00:14:01Please.
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:19We're over.
00:14:22Dex.
00:14:25Goodbye.
00:14:26Forever.
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:50Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:14:57What?
00:15:01What?
00:15:04I gave Dex everything.
00:15:06I made his career but...
00:15:08He doesn't want me.
00:15:09He never did.
00:15:11What happened Princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Hart.
00:15:14She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:18I'll come get you.
00:15:35It looks 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.
00:15:46Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:47We won't hurt you.
00:15:48We're your friends, too.
00:15:51We'd always ship Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:58We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:02You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:08We were in love.
00:16:09Or I thought we were.
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:24Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room.
00:16:30Come alone.
00:16:32Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:35Choose your little assistant and 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.
00:16:55We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:58You psychos!
00:17:00Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancƩe?
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.
00:17:14Our 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, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:31That's not true.
00:17:34First you steal my identity, now 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.
00:18:04Casey.
00:18:04Dexter, Dexter.
00:18:07Dexter, Dexter, help me.
00:18:08They hit me, and then they tied me up, and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:13Okay, guys, let'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.
00:18:25Okay, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down, and you'll let these two go.
00:18:30No, please.
00:18:30No, that's not how this works.
00:18:33Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:37We're engaged now.
00:18:38You can't let me die.
00:18:40Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:46did 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.
00:19:03I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:16You 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, go ahead.
00:19:27Make your choice.
00:19:28Choose now, or they both die.
00:19:30Dexter.
00:19:31Dexter, please.
00:19:33Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:34You dumped her.
00:19:36You chose me.
00:19:37Don't let them murder me.
00:19:39That's enough.
00:19:40We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:49Scarlet, all right?
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.
00:20:06You told me that I...
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, no.
00:20:23I guess this is the end.
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:31Dexter.
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!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:52Oh, come on.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:54All right.
00:20:56Okay.
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, all right?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm done living in your shadow decks.
00:21:21Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey, Casey.
00:21:28Hey.
00:21:36Casey.
00:21:37Casey, stop.
00:21:39Please, stop.
00:21:39Please, please.
00:21:40We're gonna go...
00:21:41Okay, 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.
00:21:52He has Echo.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:55Sure he does.
00:21:56Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:03Fame changed me?
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:07And what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:11I 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.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god.
00:22:50That'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.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:12We took a million, but we're here for you.
00:23:16No, I shouldn't be you.
00:23:17I'm behind my chair.
00:23:18Are you kidding me?
00:23:19I'm trying to have everything you can ever want.
00:23:22Who am I?
00:23:23I'm trying to...
00:23:24No!
00:23:25Dexter Hayes!
00:23:25What do you want?
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:33You're the one that killed me.
00:23:34She can't be everything.
00:23:36Casey!
00:23:37Casey!
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.
00:23:59Then 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.
00:24:18No.
00:24:23Forget him, princess.
00:24:25You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:38announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:56My back is pressed.
00:25:04My back is pressed.
00:25:11No, no.
00:25:15Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look, guys, we have one week, all right, 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?
00:25:43Echo?
00:25:47Are you really Echo?
00:25:52Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:55It's just your new assistant.
00:25:58He's been messing.
00:25:59He's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:04I mean, look.
00:26:06Last 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.
00:26:48Good 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.
00:27:59They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:00We have to go.
00:28:02This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:07Okay, look, I 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.
00:28:21You 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?
00:28:43Her 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.
00:29:06Scarlett, open the door.
00:29:07Show me small.
00:29:08Come on, Dessert.
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.
00:29:40I'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!
00:29:48Here she is now!
00:29:59No fucking way!
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:31Hey, Dex.
00:30:32Long time no see.
00:30:36Dex has already moved on with Scarlett.
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.
00:31:06You 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.
00:31:36Scarlett, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:39I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:42But this party is for 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.
00:32:16Jealous?
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.
00:32:36She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart.
00:32:43I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where 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.
00:32:54They got that right.
00:32:55Hmm.
00:32:56Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:00Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:09How dare you?
00:33:12Careful.
00:33:13The 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?
00:33:27I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:29And 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.
00:33:42Hi.
00:33:42Dexter 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...
00:33:52Well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:57Of course I can.
00:33:58Yes.
00:34:00Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:05is my daughter.
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
00:34:13Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:21over the last many decades, I 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.
00:34:40Well, why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:34:57Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last
00:35:05few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you've 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.
00:35:39You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile
00:35:44slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:49Unless 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.
00:36:01Okay, guys.
00:36:03Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:08Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:10Oh, Dex.
00:36:12You forgot to say please.
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what, 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 her mind.
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:58It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:04He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:06All right, this is it.
00:37:08He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:10I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:15And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess, my princess, and the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:30What?
00:37:35No.
00:37:43Casey.
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.
00:38:07Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:10Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:13She just committed career suicide.
00:38:15Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:17For the lady of the hour.
00:38:19Ugh.
00:38:20That'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.
00:38:48She 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?
00:39:02What suits you?
00:39:03Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:11Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:24I just...
00:39:25I still miss you.
00:39:34Ugh.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancƩ'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...
00:40:09You'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...
00:40:22Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:25I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just...
00:40:27Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:34Oh, 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...
00:40:51This 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.
00:41:02For the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:06No, no, please.
00:41:07No, 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.
00:41:21Read Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:33Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh my god, oh 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...
00:42:05Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Read 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.
00:42:16You'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 thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:51All of those years.
00:42:56I'm broken in a blade.
00:43:09I'm still missing you.
00:43:13I'm still missing you.
00:43:16I'm still...
00:43:18I'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 Read Records.
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:54Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:56I never gave up on us.
00:43:58She's got another truth.
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:09Fine.
00:44:12Let's not talk.
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:22Your fiancƩ 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.
00:44:38In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:46I don't give a fuck about 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, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:09But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:16I don't care about the fans.
00:45:18I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:20I don't care what the record labels have to say.
00:45:22If you tell me that 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 still love 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, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me.
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you.
00:46:15I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:17Hello?
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:22Hold on.
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:24I've been telling you for months.
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:28A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:31I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes size hole to fill,
00:46:34and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:35It's not safe.
00:46:36Casey, 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.
00:46:45Casey.
00:46:46Casey!
00:46:48Daisy has every right to be angry with me
00:46:51after what I did.
00:46:52I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:00Oh.
00:47:02Oh.
00:47:05Perfect timing.
00:47:07Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me on self-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.
00:47:22But you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online.
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:28Well, I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:33Actually, I was hoping for a live performance,
00:47:35if you don't mind.
00:47:36There are so many musicians out there
00:47:37faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:39Of course.
00:47:43But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:44Why don't we toast first
00:47:45to this potential partnership?
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:07I do love straight vodka.
00:48:15But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:24Exposing asshole 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.
00:48:39You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:40and demand a live performance from the 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,
00:48:53no matter how talented you are.
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me
00:48:58not when I can read records
00:48:59or myself.
00:49:03Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:04I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:06The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:07to see my new mistress.
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos
00:49:09all over the tabloids.
00:49:12Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:14How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:16Your poor father.
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:19but to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:22You're delusional.
00:49:24Stay away from me.
00:49:26You're fine.
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha to me.
00:49:28Hey!
00:49:29You can't get your fucking hands off.
00:49:32I'm gonna break your fucking hands.
00:49:34Baxter Hayes, huh?
00:49:36Are 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
00:50:01a sick-ass record together.
00:50:02You kind of wanted to defend this
00:50:04used-up slut.
00:50:06I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:09Her name
00:50:11is Casey Ring.
00:50:12And she's the future
00:50:13of the industry
00:50:14that you want so badly
00:50:16fucking in!
00:50:17Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:20I'm not sure of that.
00:50:22Let's go.
00:50:30Let's go.
00:50:34Give me your hand.
00:50:42Casey, I've been telling you
00:50:43for months.
00:50:44Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:45My business
00:50:46is none of your concern.
00:50:48If I didn't show up tonight,
00:50:50what the hell do you think
00:50:50would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea
00:50:52what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you.
00:50:54Yes!
00:50:54He could have done-
00:50:54Okay?
00:50:55I know!
00:50:57Newsflash!
00:50:57I'm not your assistant
00:50:59anymore!
00:51:00So,
00:51:01it'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
00:51:13fucking moving.
00:51:15I'll stop following you
00:51:16the minute that you
00:51:18stop making stupid
00:51:19fucking decisions.
00:51:21And when I've made up
00:51:23for all the danger
00:51:23I've put her in.
00:51:27You're way
00:51:29too interested
00:51:30in my personal life,
00:51:32Dex.
00:51:33Won't your fiancƩ
00:51:34be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying
00:51:40to tell you
00:51:41for weeks
00:51:42I did not
00:51:43want
00:51:44to marry
00:51:45Scarlet.
00:51:47You don't fucking
00:51:48listen.
00:51:49Now you're really
00:51:50starting to piss me off.
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:03what am I supposed
00:52:05to do?
00:52:06Pretend she
00:52:07doesn't exist
00:52:09and be
00:52:09the pop star's
00:52:11secret
00:52:12side piece
00:52:13again?
00:52:15I should push him
00:52:16away,
00:52:17but I can't deny
00:52:18how much I miss
00:52:19his touch.
00:52:19you were never
00:52:20the side piece.
00:52:23And you know it.
00:52:33Boss,
00:52:34I have news!
00:52:37Thank you
00:52:37for your help
00:52:38today,
00:52:39Dexter.
00:52:41Please,
00:52:43stop following me.
00:52:47or else it's
00:52:48going to get
00:52:48harder and
00:52:49harder to walk
00:52:50away.
00:52:59Great timing.
00:53:01As always.
00:53:02Why are you even
00:53:03here?
00:53:04Done what you
00:53:04asked.
00:53:05News of Sasha
00:53:05Silver's fraudulence
00:53:06and drug abuse
00:53:07have been leaked
00:53:08to the press.
00:53:08No label,
00:53:09studio,
00:53:10brand will go
00:53:10anywhere near him.
00:53:11His net worth
00:53:12plummeted to zero.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:14Buy all the rights
00:53:15to his music.
00:53:18I'm going to get
00:53:18back to Casey
00:53:19as a gift.
00:53:25I heard what
00:53:26happened with
00:53:26Sasha.
00:53:27Now that was
00:53:27way too risky,
00:53:28Casey.
00:53:29Look,
00:53:29I'm far from
00:53:30Dexter's biggest
00:53:31fan,
00:53:31but that could
00:53:32have gotten
00:53:32real ugly
00:53:33if he hadn't
00:53:33shown up.
00:53:34I could have
00:53:34handled Sasha.
00:53:36There was also
00:53:36a huge leak
00:53:37in the press.
00:53:38All of Sasha's
00:53:39silver,
00:53:39dirty laundry
00:53:40had out
00:53:41for everyone
00:53:41to see.
00:53:42He's been,
00:53:42uh,
00:53:43what do you
00:53:43kids call it?
00:53:44Cancelled.
00:53:44Who took him
00:53:45down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes.
00:53:52He even
00:53:53bought the rights
00:53:54to Sasha's
00:53:55music.
00:53:55He can't
00:53:56sing anything
00:53:57anywhere
00:53:57or get sued
00:53:58to hell and
00:53:59back.
00:54:00Dex took
00:54:00down Sasha
00:54:01silver for
00:54:02me?
00:54:03Maybe.
00:54:04He's not as
00:54:05bad as I
00:54:06thought.
00:54:06Or maybe he
00:54:07should stop
00:54:08interfering himself
00:54:09with my life.
00:54:14The world
00:54:15famous music
00:54:15producer,
00:54:16Echo,
00:54:16is set to
00:54:17finally reveal
00:54:18their identity
00:54:18at the
00:54:19Legendary
00:54:19Universal Music
00:54:20Awards tomorrow
00:54:21night.
00:54:23Scarlet's
00:54:23getting desperate.
00:54:24She's trying
00:54:25to convince
00:54:25the world
00:54:26she's Echo
00:54:26before it
00:54:27can expose
00:54:27her lies.
00:54:28She can't
00:54:29keep up
00:54:29the act
00:54:29forever.
00:54:30Sooner or
00:54:31later,
00:54:31Dexter will
00:54:32realize she
00:54:32can't even
00:54:32hold a tune.
00:54:34Much less
00:54:34produce a
00:54:35hit track.
00:54:36Scarlet is
00:54:36nothing if
00:54:37she's not
00:54:37Echo.
00:54:38She knows
00:54:39Dexter wouldn't
00:54:40look at her
00:54:40twice, let
00:54:41alone marry
00:54:42her, if she
00:54:43wasn't pretending
00:54:43to be a genius
00:54:44producer.
00:54:45I don't know
00:54:45how she thinks
00:54:46she's going
00:54:46to get away
00:54:46with it.
00:54:49I think
00:54:49it's time
00:54:50the world
00:54:51finds out
00:54:51who the real
00:54:52Echo is.
00:54:57You want to
00:54:57go to the
00:54:58UMAs as
00:54:59Echo?
00:55:00They've invited
00:55:00me every year
00:55:01and I've always
00:55:01refused.
00:55:02I've let this
00:55:03scam go on
00:55:04long enough.
00:55:05It's time the
00:55:06world finds out
00:55:06the truth about
00:55:07Scarlet Heart.
00:55:08The world?
00:55:09Or Dexter?
00:55:13This isn't
00:55:14about him.
00:55:17He made
00:55:17his bed
00:55:18when he
00:55:18proposed to
00:55:18Scarlet.
00:55:19Well, my
00:55:20daughter deserves
00:55:20all the
00:55:21recognition
00:55:21of the
00:55:21world.
00:55:23But if
00:55:23you're going
00:55:24to go
00:55:24with Echo,
00:55:25oh, you're
00:55:25going to do
00:55:25it right.
00:55:27With the

00:58:23We'll
00:58:23find a
00:58:24better
00:58:24option.
00:58:30Like
00:58:31this
00:58:31one.
00:58:32Beyonce
00:58:32used this
00:58:33on her
00:58:33last
00:58:34album.
00:58:35This
00:58:35instrument
00:58:36is
00:58:36worthy
00:58:37of
00:58:37Echo,
00:58:38the
00:58:38genius
00:58:38producer.
00:58:40Hey,
00:58:40hey,
00:58:41hey,
00:58:41hey,
00:58:41hey,
00:58:41actually,
00:58:42actually,
00:58:43this guitar
00:58:44is no
00:58:45longer
00:58:45available.
00:58:46In fact,
00:58:46my entire
00:58:47collection
00:58:48is on
00:58:48hold
00:58:48for the
00:58:49new
00:58:49owner.
00:58:51I'm
00:58:51going to
00:58:52just...
00:58:54My apologies,
00:58:54my apologies.
00:58:55Apologies,
00:58:56but there's nothing more
00:58:56No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:57We saw it first.
00:58:59Look, look,
00:59:00we just want the one
00:59:01guitar.
00:59:02I'm sure we can come to a
00:59:03generous agreement.
00:59:04You can pay
00:59:04all you want
00:59:05for the guitar,
00:59:06but it's not
00:59:07going to stop
00:59:07Scarlett
00:59:08from choking
00:59:09on the stage.
00:59:13How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:22That's enough.
00:59:25Hi, Dexie.
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:35You need to do something.
00:59:36Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about 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 what, actually, I'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 Miss Hunt.
01:00:05I knew you would support me.
01:00:07Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:10You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs and I'll pay it whatever it is
01:00:14right here and now.
01:00:16Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how 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.
01:00:34You 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 I'm 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 and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:59Oh, it's okay.
01:01:01Scarlet could have it for free.
01:01:02As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:09Casey, I 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.
01:01:16Come here.
01:01:18You will regret this.
01:01:21Casey 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.
01:01:33One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:37It's Miss Reed and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:40Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:43Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet, so 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?
01:01:58Hold on, what 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.
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:33Yes, sir.
01:02:36Oh, one more thing.
01:02:38She's fired.
01:02:41Yes, sir.
01:02:44But, Dexter, you can't do this. I love you!
01:03:00Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on M5. The broadcast will begin live.
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.
01:03:21All right, guys. It's time. Let's go.
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.
01:03:47Her 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
01:03:59when you yourself have none.
01:04:01Mmm.
01:04:02I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:06Oh.
01:04:07Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:10Wreck-a-legs, Scarlet.
01:04:12Or should I say...
01:04:14Echo.
01:04:15Don't choke.
01:04:18Hope you don't choke.
01:04:21Echo.
01:04:24Echo.
01:04:27Echo.
01:04:30Echo.
01:04:32Echo.
01:04:33Echo.
01:04:34Echo.
01:04:35Echo.
01:04:38Echo.
01:04:40The playback's down.
01:04:41The track's gone completely white.
01:04:44You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make that version.
01:04:52I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:04:55Go fix this.
01:04:56Now.
01:04:59This is bad.
01:05:00Alright.
01:05:01Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:03We're gonna burn the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:07You.
01:05:07I have an idea.
01:05:10You're...
01:05:11Echo.
01:05:12Right?
01:05:23Yes.
01:05:24It's true.
01:05:25Echo.
01:05:26I'm Echo.
01:05:26The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:32Then 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.
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean...
01:05:41This is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:44I 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.
01:06:17And that's how it's done.
01:06:19Show must go on.
01:06:21Nice try.
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:25You can stop with the jealous witch 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 the-
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, why would Casey do that? For real, okay?
01:07:05You're- You're Echo, okay?
01:07:07So, just fix the track.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11Come on, Echo. What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:23Scarlet, you are our only hope now. You have to fix this!
01:07:27I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Breed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:33But, Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I- I actually would, gladly. But, 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?
01:07:45Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:52You're Echo, okay? Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track. It's that simple. You know how to
01:07:57do this.
01:07:59You really think your fiancƩ is going to be able to fix this show? I mean, if she goes down,
01:08:04you go down with her.
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here. I can't let her expose me. Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and
01:08:12becoming a pop legend.
01:08:36Is this part of her process? It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:59Oh, 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. It's done.
01:09:19You're really gonna give up that easily, Dex? You're gonna throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am. That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years? Yeah.
01:09:33Because you know what? Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life
01:09:40than 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
01:09:46Reed 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 this song. Now 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! It'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 Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:59Happily.
01:11:03Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed 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.
01:11:38Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:43This moment's got a sting.
01:11:47Good.
01:11:48Good.
01:11:50Now let's make a hit.
01:11:59Let's fucking go!
01:12:16Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean, you produced this right, so 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 is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:38That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:40You are not the kind for sure.
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:49Stop! Stop it!
01:12:50No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:12:50That's...
01:12:54What?
01:13:01Okay.
01:13:04You're Echo.
01:13:05You're Echo.
01:13:05Do you hear it?
01:13:08It's all right, so it's all right.
01:13:09This is my song, she just ripped it off.
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:14don't listen to her I'm Echo I didn't even make that version I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:24to send me one of her reject tracks go fix this now everyone knows the truth

01:16:12to result that you set the deal case

01:16:51I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57Your name's on fire in my wings
01:17:03It's burning from my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:14Who am I to live like?
01:17:19This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:23But I know I've been given love
01:18:17She has to know I've been given love
01:18:17She has to know I've been given love
01:18:21Ms. Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:18:46Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way.
01:19:05That won't happen again.
01:19:07Perse!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
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.
01:19:33You 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, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:19:47save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now.
01:19:50Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:54Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:09Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:12I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:06It was a close call.
01:21:08One centimeter to the right.
01:21:10He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:11If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Oh, hopefully.
01:21:17He'll recover.
01:21:18But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:22That'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, I won't never forgive you.
01:21:42Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52I got you, beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:06Casey, I...
01:22:07Casey, I...
01:22:11I miss you.
01:22:13I miss him, too.
01:22:15But everything we've put each other through, can 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.
01:22:37No.
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'm 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, and I knew that I would lose you, and 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.
01:23:53My pop star.
01:23:59Which...
01:24:00Reminds me.
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:09The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:13You saved their CEO.
01:24:16You deserve it.
01:24:16You're the reason I sing.
01:24:19You're the reason I live.
01:24:20I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:23You...
01:24:25You'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.
01:25:32Yes.
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.
01:26:15Just let me know.
01:26:19It will be time I remember to smile.
01:26:23I imagine a world where together.
01:26:38It's gold on, the stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking and you're all through.
01:26:51I was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreating.
01:26:57Every time I look at the moon fall, I dream of the night that's lost forever.
01:27:07Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:14Cause the best so far, we're just a little.
01:27:22Just a little.
01:27:25And every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am.
01:27:32Just a little.
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:38Oh, I dream of the night that's lost forever.
01:27:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:49Ticking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:27:55Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:58The mirror in heaven, my heart is still being.
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where together.
01:28:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:21The mirror in heaven, my heart is still being.
01:28:21The mirror in heaven, my heart is still being.
01:28:21The mirror in heaven, my heart is still being.
