Short filmTranscript
00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:20No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:25Echo, 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 rockstar I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:39I'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.
00:01:06I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control, my little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:36And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:48I'm gonna claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls, just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:24Once 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 gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:01I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:05I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:15I need champagne to space
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:47he's in bed with his prompting assistant.
00:03:50Kind of close for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart, Dexter Hayes groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:06She'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. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:16Don't get it! Let's go!
00:04:26Shit! The backing mix is corrupted! I can't let Dexter's show get ruined!
00:04:32Echo can fix this.
00:04:36Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:40What the hell is she up to?
00:04:45Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:50I'll be right back.
00:04:55There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad! We've talked about this. In 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.
00:05:12I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:13But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh, my God. 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! Play that song!
00:06:03God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:06The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:10No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:14What?
00:06:22Mrs. Echo's not?
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.
00:06:48Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:59Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:02Dexter, I'm so sorry. I 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 wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38And next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:46I'm a man of time.
00:07:52I'm a man of time.
00:08:05Every time I look like, remember the time I saw you write.
00:08:11One thing to remember by, the time I looked into your eye.
00:08:17The secret feeling again, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:28One thing to remember by, the one may not grow when you're going to 118
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:19Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hay!
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:39I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:53Oh my god, Jexy!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:59Yes!
00:10:03Oh my god, Jexy!
00:10:06Yes!
00:10:08Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:13I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:17No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet.
00:10:20But, she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:27It was all a lie.
00:10:31Alright, I can play along with his engagement,
00:10:34and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight,
00:11:03but instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:12I gave you everything.
00:11:16I loved you.
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:20I owe her.
00:11:21Okay, I owe her, alright?
00:11:24I don't...
00:11:24You owe her?
00:11:27Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:30What has she ever done for you?
00:11:32Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:34She made me who I am today.
00:11:37Okay, so that's why.
00:11:39What are you talking about?
00:11:43Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:50You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is.
00:11:56You know what?
00:11:57I'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?
00:12:24You could have had that with me.
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:31Isn't it?
00:12:33Not 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 full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:51That's my notebook.
00:12:53How 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.
00:13:01How did she get back?
00:13:02I want Dexter.
00:13:03She cut me.
00:13:04See what has gotten into you?
00:13:06I don't...
00:13:07I know who you are anymore.
00:13:10Dexy, 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.
00:13:18She'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.
00:13:27Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:29Okay?
00:13:29Well, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:34Go wait in the car.
00:13:35Please.
00:13:40Casey.
00:13:46Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:48So please just...
00:13:50Just tell me the truth.
00:13:51Okay, right now.
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever.
00:14:01Please.
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:13You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:19We're over.
00:14:21Dex.
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.
00:15:03Dad, I gave Dex everything I made his career, but he doesn't want me.
00:15:10But he doesn't want me.
00:15:10He never did.
00:15:11What happened, princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Hart.
00:15:15She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:19I'll come get you.
00:15:38She's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:48Tacey.
00:15:49fans too. We've only shook Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart. We're just trying to teach
00:15:56this filthy skink a lesson. We saw you kissing Dexter backstage. You're trying to steal him
00:16:04from his soulmate. I wasn't stealing him. We were in love. Or I thought we were. We'll
00:16:13see about that, won't we? The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:25Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room. Come alone. Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them. Choose your little
00:16:36assistant and they both die. You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:44Where the hell is my daughter? Casey? So she never left the concert. Get back to the concert
00:16:52hall now. Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is. You psychos. Are you hoping that
00:17:03he chooses you over his fiance? Obviously not. She's just a nobody who slept with him to break
00:17:10into the industry. You fucked him too? God, our precious Dexter. Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:20Girls like you don't deserve him. You don't deserve to live.
00:17:24But no one knows what the real Echo looks like. So if Casey dies, then the truth dies with
00:17:31her. That's not true. First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered? You're
00:17:37psychotic. No, don't worry, Casey. If 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. You're crazier than they are.
00:17:49Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:55Casey. Dexter.
00:18:02Dexter. Dexter. Dexter. Dexter, help me. They hit me and then they tied me up and now
00:18:11they're trying to kill me. Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay? We can't do that,
00:18:20Dexter. We're your biggest fans. We're doing this for you. Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:27Dexter. All right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please. No, that's
00:18:31not how this works. Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo. We're engaged now, you can't
00:18:39let me die. Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told
00:18:45me, did they mean anything? You must choose one to live. Will it be your future wife or
00:18:54your mistress? Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes? They said if I
00:19:00told you Scarlet, then they'd both die. I 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? And you loved him? You leeched off him for half
00:19:23a decade. If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice. Choose now
00:19:29or they both die. Dexter, Dexter, please, think of everything I've done for you. You dumped
00:19:36her. You chose me. Don't let them murder me. That's enough. We're pulling the trigger
00:19:41in three, two, one. Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing
00:19:48Casey. Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet. Dexter, I'm going to faint. I was so scared.
00:20:00He chose Scarlet? Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die. Now, wait a minute. You told
00:20:07me that... You made your choice, Dexter Hayes. Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate,
00:20:13and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece. No, no, no, no, no, no. I guess this
00:20:25is the end. Goodbye, Dexter. Put the gun down! Put the gun down! Goodbye, Dexter. Hey, drop
00:20:40the gun. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. It's going to be
00:21:01okay. Okay? You left me to die. And for the record, I never needed your money. I was right
00:21:08to walk away. Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made. Look, Casey, you don't
00:21:15understand, all right? They were going to make me... I'm done living in your shadow, Dex. Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey. Casey. Casey, stop. Please, stop. Please, please. Where are you going to go? What are
00:21:42you going to do without all this? You should be asking yourself that same question. Good luck
00:21:48staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone. You're delusional. He doesn't need
00:21:52you. He has Echo. Yeah. Sure he does. Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:03Fame changed me? Okay. And what about you? You're the one that's been sneaking around behind
00:22:10my back this whole time. I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on
00:22:18Scarlet's finger. You chose her and you left me for dead. No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:55I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl. You're here now. Take me home.
00:23:29I don't know.
00:23:33K-Shay!
00:23:33K-Shay!
00:23:37K-Shay!
00:23:38K-Shay!
00:23:39K-Shay!
00:23:39K-Shay!
00:23:39Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlett.
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.
00:23:59And 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.
00:24:25Hmm?
00:24:26You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:35Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:41Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:57My back is pressed.
00:25:05My back is pressed.
00:25:12No, no!
00:25:15Okay.
00:25:16Guys!
00:25:17Cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look, guys.
00:25:24We have one week, alright?
00:25:27To 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, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:47Are you really Echo?
00:25:51Dexy.
00:25:53Of course I am.
00:25:55It's just your new assistant.
00:25:58He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:04I mean, look.
00:26:07Last saved by Max.
00:26:09Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:11Okay, you know what?
00:26:12Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:16Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:19It's Dexter.
00:26:20And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:25You're fired.
00:26:33Let's do it again.
00:26:49Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:09We're sorry.
00:27:10You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:15All 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.
00:27:53Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:54Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:56Dexter.
00:27:58You 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.
00:28:14He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:16I'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.
00:28:41I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:43Her coarse tangled hair?
00:28:48Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:51Or 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.
00:29:06Scarlet, open it.
00:29:07Show me small.
00:29:08Come on, Dexter.
00:29:10Come on.
00:29:12How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:15as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:17We're honored.
00:29:18And with Reed Records on our side,
00:29:20our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:23Are 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.
00:29:31The heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:33Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:36Who 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, here she is now.
00:30:00No fucking way.
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:31Hey, Dex.
00:30:32Long time no see.
00:30:37Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:39I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:42So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her.
00:31:02But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:07You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:09All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:14She's right.
00:31:15I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:37Scarlet, 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?
00:32:01I 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.
00:32:22How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:26You can dress up all you want.
00:32:29But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:35I thought she was someone important.
00:32:37She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart.
00:32:43I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:49Just like all of those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm.
00:32:54They got that right.
00:32:55Hmm.
00:32:57Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:01Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:05Hmm.
00:33:07Is 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
00:33:25and pay by the hour hotel rooms.
00:33:26But me?
00:33:27I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:30And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again,
00:33:34I will get you canceled so fucking hard.
00:33:37Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed.
00:33:42Hi.
00:33:43Dexter Hayes.
00:33:44Thank 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.
00:34:02When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter.
00:34:07Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:10Well, you know, sir, um...
00:34:11Well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart and I are,
00:34:15uh, 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.
00:34:26Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:29And, 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,
00:34:36I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:40Well, why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:34:56Casey.
00:34:57Casey.
00:34:58Casey.
00:34:59Casey.
00:35:03I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:08that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:24What, you missed me already?
00:35:26Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only.
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:40You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander
00:35:45and empty accusations all night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:55Yeah, right.
00:35:55The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:00You have no power here.
00:36:02Okay, guys.
00:36:04Ed 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.
00:36:38But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:46Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:51Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:56No 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.
00:37:16And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess.
00:37:21And the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter.
00:37:25Casey Reed.
00:37:30What?
00:37:32No.
00:38:00That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:02Holy shit.
00:38:03She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:05She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:08Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:10Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face.
00:38:13She just committed career suicide.
00:38:16Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:17For the lady of the hour.
00:38:19Ugh.
00:38:20That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:23Dad.
00:38:24This is too much.
00:38:25There's something from your old man.
00:38:27And 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.
00:38:36I 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.
00:38:45This 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.
00:38:54How could I be so blind?
00:39:02Suits you?
00:39:05The guitar and CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:11Casey, I just...
00:39:24I just...
00:39:25I just...
00:39:25I still miss you.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:40Knowing 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...
00:39:50Explain 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.
00:40:02That's not why I'm here.
00:40:04If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:08I mean, you gotta understand.
00:40:09I...
00:40:09You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:11I lied?
00:40:12Yeah.
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:19You have to believe me, please.
00:40:20I was just trying to...
00:40:23Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:26I guess, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just...
00:40:28Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:31Tank 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.
00:40:59Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:01Threw me to the curb for the fame.
00:41:04The fortune.
00:41:06The fans.
00:41:06No, no, 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?
00:41:19I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:21Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:33Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:40You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:45Because if I didn't, I might not 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.
00:41:54You bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter?
00:41:57She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:04She can produce songs.
00:42:06She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:12She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:15Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:16Stop.
00:42:17You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:20I'm done talking about this.
00:42:42I've known you for years.
00:42:45I thought you'd say the same.
00:42:52All of those years...
00:42:56I'm proven here a blade.
00:43:09I'm still missing you
00:43:14I'm still
00:43:16I'm still
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:36I'm still missing you
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over Mr. Hayes
00:43:49You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:55Casey's wrong about me
00:43:56I never gave up on us
00:43:58She's got another truth
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Jax
00:44:10Fine
00:44:12Let's not talk
00:44:21What's wrong
00:44:23Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:36Not anymore
00:44:37I'm your former boss now
00:44:39In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:46I don't give a fuck
00:44:47About the contract
00:44:48I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:50I just want you
00:44:51I just want you
00:44:52And I know that you want me to
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:57What we had
00:45:00I've been trying to
00:45:01But being this close again
00:45:03It feels
00:45:05Impossible
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:09But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:17I don't care
00:45:18About the fans
00:45:19I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:20I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:22If you tell me
00:45:23That you want to be with me
00:45:27We'll be together
00:45:31We can tease each other all day
00:45:35Until you finally admit
00:45:37That you
00:45:39Still
00:45:41Love me
00:46:04You're right
00:46:04I am like an instrument
00:46:06The way I let you play me
00:46:09After what you did
00:46:10Why 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
00:46:19Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:20Thank you
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:22Hold on
00:46:23Sasha Silver?
00:46:24I've been telling you for months
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag
00:46:28A douchebag
00:46:29With over a hundred million strings
00:46:31I mean
00:46:32We have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:33Size hole to fill
00:46:34And he could be the next big thing
00:46:35It's not safe
00:46:36Casey
00:46:36You don't need him
00:46:38He'll hurt you
00:46:39No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:40I don't think you
00:46:41Of all people
00:46:42Get to tell me what I need
00:46:44Casey
00:46:45Casey
00:46:46Casey
00:46:46Casey
00:46:47Casey has every right
00:46:50To be angry with me
00:46:51After what I did
00:46:52I have to prove
00:46:53She can trust me again
00:47:06Perfect timing
00:47:07Make yourself comfortable
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me
00:47:09On such short notice
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:12Women who speak too much
00:47:14I've been an exception for you
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:17In a third person?
00:47:19I don't know what that means
00:47:21But
00:47:23You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:25They're a big hit online
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:28Wow
00:47:30Hired to be blown away
00:47:33Actually
00:47:34I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:35If you don't mind
00:47:36So many musicians out there
00:47:38Faking their music with AI
00:47:39You know
00:47:39Of course
00:47:42But
00:47:43You're not in a hurry
00:47:44Why don't we toast first
00:47:46To this potential partnership
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:07I do love straight vodka
00:48:15But you know what I
00:48:17Actually
00:48:19Love even more than that
00:48:22What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:25Asshole pervs
00:48:26My hair
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think you can drug me?
00:48:31And then what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:34Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:37Not so fast
00:48:39You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:40And demand a live performance
00:48:41From 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
00:49:00For 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
00:49:10All over the tabloids
00:49:11Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:13How you slept your way to the top
00:49:17Your poor father
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:20Just to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:22You're delusional
00:49:24Stay away from me
00:49:25I'm fine
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha
00:49:27Hey
00:49:30You can't just fucking hand it off
00:49:31What?
00:49:33I'll break your fucking hand
00:49:35Mr. Hayes
00:49:36Are you okay?
00:49:38I'm fine
00:49:43What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:45I could sue you for that
00:49:47I'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
00:49:58Jesus
00:49:59We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:02You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:06I mean what the fuck
00:50:09Her name is Casey Reed
00:50:12And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in
00:50:18Your career is dead
00:50:19Sasha
00:50:20I'm not sure of that
00:50:23Let's go
00:50:31Let's go
00:50:34Give me your hand
00:50:42Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:44Sasha Silver is little
00:50:45My business is none of your concern
00:50:48If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:50What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you
00:50:54Yes!
00:50:54He could have done
00:50:55I know!
00:50:57Newsflash!
00:50:58I'm not your assistant anymore
00:51:00So it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing
00:51:04Okay?
00:51:05So stop following me
00:51:12The car is still fucking moving
00:51:15I'll stop following you
00:51:17The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions
00:51:22And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:27You're way
00:51:29Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:33Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:42I did not want to marry Scarlet
00:51:47But you don't fucking listen
00:51:48And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:02So
00:52:04What am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:09And be the Bob Star's secret side piece again
00:52:15I should push him away
00:52:17But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:20You were never the side piece
00:52:23And you know it
00:52:34Boss! I have news!
00:52:37Thank you for your help today, Dexter
00:52:42Please, stop following me
00:52:47Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:59Great timing
00:53:01As always
00:53:02Why are you even here?
00:53:04Done what you asked
00:53:05News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:08No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:11His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:13Good
00:53:14Buy all the rice to his music
00:53:18I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:25I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:27Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:29Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:31But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha
00:53:35There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:38All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:42He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:44Cancelled
00:53:44Who took him down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes
00:53:53He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:55He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back
00:53:59Dex took down Sasha Silver? For me?
00:54:03Maybe
00:54:04He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:06Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:14The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:16Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:19At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:24She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:27Before it can expose her lies
00:54:28She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:30Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:34Much less produce a hit track
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:39She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:41Let alone marry her
00:54:42If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:45I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:49I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:57You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:00They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:02I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:05It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:08The world or Dexter?
00:55:13This isn't about him
00:55:17He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:19Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:23But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:25Oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:27With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:39You're the best, Dad
00:55:54Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again
00:55:59How's Dexter?
00:56:01Engaged?
00:56:02Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:07And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:10So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:14She's a musical genius
00:56:15We need something one-of-a-kind, just like her
00:56:18Of course, I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:21A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:30Please don't touch that
00:56:32Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:35Yeah, it's you
00:56:37Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:44You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:46I have to ask you to leave now
00:56:53I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:56I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:59Because of your nepo-baby connections
00:57:02We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:05Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:07Excuse me?
00:57:09I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator
00:57:12And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:15Yeah, you're right
00:57:18In that case
00:57:20You should have this
00:57:39Oops
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands
00:57:42My bad
00:57:45Are you insane?
00:57:47You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar
00:57:50Security!
00:57:51Take this woman away!
00:57:53Hold on just one second
00:57:55Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh my god
00:57:59I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:01You need to set that up for me?
00:58:02Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes
00:58:04Just kidding
00:58:09It's all yours now
00:58:19Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:23We'll find a better option
00:58:30Like this one
00:58:32Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:35This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:38The genius producer
00:58:39Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:42Actually, actually
00:58:43This guitar is no longer available
00:58:46In fact, my entire collection
00:58:48Is on hold for the new owner
00:58:51I'm gonna just
00:58:54My apologies
00:58:55My apologies, my apologies
00:58:56Apologies
00:58:56But there's nothing more
00:58:57No, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:57We saw it first
00:58:59Look, look
00:59:00We just want the one guitar
00:59:02I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:59:04You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:06But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:08From choking
00:59:09On the stage
00:59:13How dare you
00:59:15You little bitch
00:59:22That's enough
00:59:25Hi, Dexie
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter
00:59:32She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:34You need to do something
00:59:36Mom
00:59:37Do you really want to have a conversation
00:59:39Right here and now
00:59:40About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:45Is the reason you're as famous
00:59:46As you are, Dexter
00:59:48The least you could do
00:59:50Is show her a little respect
00:59:53You know what?
00:59:54Actually
00:59:55I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:56I should show respect
00:59:58To the one person
01:00:00Who's always been there for me
01:00:03Please ring up the guitar
01:00:04For Miss Hunt
01:00:05I knew you would support me
01:00:07Mr. Hayes
01:00:08It's not for sale
01:00:10You know
01:00:10Why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:12How much it costs
01:00:13And I'll pay it
01:00:14Whatever it is
01:00:14Right here and now
01:00:16Miss Reed
01:00:18As the new owner of the store
01:00:19How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:22Wait, what?
01:00:26I'm sorry
01:00:27I'm the new owner?
01:00:31Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:32For my former assistant
01:00:34You did this for me
01:00:36You really think I need a music store?
01:00:40Well, as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:41You probably don't at all
01:00:42But from someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:45Why the hell not?
01:00:48Dexter!
01:00:48Are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even a real musician
01:00:53And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:56You'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
01:01:08Casey
01:01:09I am not stooping to your level
01:01:11And besides
01:01:12We're late for hair and makeup
01:01:15I will talk to you about this later
01:01:18You will regret this
01:01:20Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:23She's just a pretty face
01:01:25With no talent to back it up
01:01:27Thanks, Mom
01:01:34I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:37It's Miss Reed
01:01:38And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:40Two
01:01:41My birthday was months ago
01:01:43Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:46So your gift means nothing
01:01:51Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Secret?
01:01:58What are you talking about?
01:01:59What secret?
01:02:03Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:06No
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
01:02:28Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:32To her collection
01:02:33Yes, sir
01:02:36Oh, one more thing
01:02:39She's fired
01:02:41Yes, sir
01:02:43Thank you
01:02:45Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:47I love you
01:03:00Mr. Hayes
01:03:01Ms. Hart
01:03:02You're on in five
01:03:03The broadcast will begin live
01:03:05Thank you
01:03:07Did you hear that?
01:03:08Millions of fans are going to 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
01:03:23Let's go
01:03:24Scarlet
01:03:39You can't start the show without me
01:03:44I knew you'd make it
01:03:45Of course she did
01:03:46Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:51You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:54I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:59When you yourself have none
01:04:01Mmm
01:04:03I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:06Oh
01:04:06Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:10Break a leg, Scarlet
01:04:12Or should I say
01:04:13Echo
01:04:16Don't choke
01:04:18Hope you don't choke
01:04:40The playback's down
01:04:42The track's gone, completely white
01:04:45You 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
01:05:00All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:05:02We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:04And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:08I have an idea
01:05:11You're Echo
01:05:13Right?
01:05:23Yes
01:05:24It's true
01:05:25I'm Echo
01:05:26The award-winning producer
01:05:28And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:31Then prove it
01:05:33Go ahead
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:41I 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
01:05:57Of course
01:05:58Watch me work my magic
01:06:17And that's how it's done
01:06:19She almost go on
01:06:21Nice try
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:24You 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 pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah
01:06:42Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping them
01:06:49Don't listen to her
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:58If I didn't know any better
01:06:59I think you were trying to sabotage her
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet
01:07:03Why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real
01:07:05Okay, here
01:07:05Here, Echo
01:07:06Okay
01:07:07So, just fix the track
01:07:10Yeah
01:07:12Come on, Echo
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:23Scarlet
01:07:23Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:26You have to fix this
01:07:27I could
01:07:28If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:30Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:33Casey
01:07:34If you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh
01:07:37I actually would, gladly
01:07:39But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:40Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:43And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:45Echo
01:07:46Echo
01:07:48Echo
01:07:49Echo
01:07:49Echo
01:07:50Echo
01:07:50Echo
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:54Record some MIDI instruments
01:07:55Lay them down
01:07:56Make a track
01:07:56It's that simple
01:07:57You know how to do this
01:07:59You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:08I can't let her expose me
01:08:10Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:15Boop
01:08:35Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:01Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:06Come on Echo
01:09:07Show them your talent, keep going
01:09:08Get off the stage
01:09:10You're ruining the UMAs
01:09:15Alright, look
01:09:18It's done
01:09:19You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:25Yeah, I am
01:09:26That whole career
01:09:27That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:30Yeah
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:38That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:42And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:44As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:49Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:52Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:55Mom
01:09:56You heard the track, okay?
01:09:58There's no saving the song
01:10:00Now it's over
01:10:01It's over
01:10:16Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:20No, no
01:10:21There's no
01:10:22There's no other
01:10:23Hey
01:10:24It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:37Mom, mom, stop
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:42I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:47If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:51For 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?
01:11:00Happily
01:11:02Everyone, 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
01:11:13Since 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
01:11:26Right 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 believe
01:11:42This morning's got a sting
01:11:46Good
01:11:50Now let's make a hit
01:11:59Let's fucking go
01:12:01Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:20I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:22So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23I can't, I don't have much
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 junior?
01:12:38That sounds, it's familiar
01:12:40I mean, you are not the kind for sure
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing
01:12:48Stop! Stop it!
01:13:01Casey
01:13:04You're Echo
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:10This is my song, she just ripped it off
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:15Don't listen to her
01:13:17I'm Echo
01:13:21I didn't even make that version
01:13:22I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:25Go fix this
01:13:30Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:36She's the one that saved the song
01:13:38No, that was me
01:13:39I already did all the work
01:13:41She's just taking the credit
01:13:42I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:45So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:48You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:50But you're going to have to pay me for it
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:54I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:56I think you might just be surprised
01:13:59$200 million
01:14:00$200 million?
01:14:03For one song?
01:14:04That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:08And
01:14:08I want my name to be credited
01:14:12Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:14And one last thing
01:14:16I want a public apology
01:14:19From Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:22That's ridiculous!
01:14:23Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean, you don't have to
01:14:26I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:27And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:29And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:31So
01:14:32What will it be?
01:14:39The clock is ticking
01:14:42I was wrong about you
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song
01:14:47I'm sorry
01:14:51And you?
01:14:52Do it
01:14:54Apologize to her
01:14:55That bitch
01:14:56Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything
01:14:59Come on, let's hear it
01:15:01Tell the world the truth
01:15:02Scarlet
01:15:03Fine
01:15:04I'm not Echo
01:15:06I pretended
01:15:07And I never wrote or produced
01:15:08Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:09They are happy
01:15:12They are happy
01:15:16Wait
01:15:16That's not what I really meant
01:15:19Dexter
01:15:20She manipulated me
01:15:22You're still my fiancé
01:15:23You believe
01:15:24Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see
01:15:26You're fucking fraud
01:15:27And you're a damn liar
01:15:30Casey
01:15:30Is the one
01:15:32Who built my career
01:15:33Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:15:36She's the only one
01:15:37Who ever cared about me
01:15:39Or loved me
01:15:41Our engagement
01:15:42Is off
01:15:43And so is the record
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album
01:16:08The album
01:16:09Terminating your contract
01:16:11And blacklisting you from the industry
01:16:13Career's over
01:16:19Got yourself a deal case
01:16:29Here
01:16:35If we're not here for long
01:16:40Tell me where would we belong
01:16:45My back is passed against the wall
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 through 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 places
01:17:23But I'm not afraid to fall in my arms
01:17:31But I'm not afraid to fall in my arms
01:17:33But I'm not afraid to fall in my arms
01:17:52I'm not afraid to fall in my arms
01:17:53I'm not afraid to fall in my arms
01:18:09I'm not afraid to fall in my arms
01:18:21Miss 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 gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way. That won't happen again.
01:19:07Hey, say! Dex, no!
01:19:09No! No! No!
01:19:20Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:22Oh, my God!
01:19:27Hey, hey, hey. You've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life, but as 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
01:19:48save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now. Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:54Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love. Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you. Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:25The 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.
01:20:47Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:06It was a close call. One centimeter to the right. He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:12If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Oh, hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:18But for now, all you need is rest.
01:21:22That's it, okay?
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 will never forgive you.
01:21:43Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52My God, you're beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:06Casey, I...
01:22:12I 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, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:35We can end on a high note.
01:22:37No!
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51There'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.
01:23:15They forced you to choose her.
01:23:17I'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.
01:23:26And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:28And I...
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:23:45Me neither.
01:23:50You're my little muse.
01:23:54My pop star.
01:23:59Which...
01:24:01Reminds me.
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:10The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:14You saved their CEO. You deserve it.
01:24:17You'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.
01:24:29I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:31I 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.
01:24:50We 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.
01:25:05I love you.
01:25:06I love you, too.
01:25:19I love you, too.
01:25:36I love you, too.
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:25:46But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:25:59So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:20Each time I remember to smile
01:26:23I imagined a world where to get up
01:26:38This goes on
01:26:42There's stuff in the stockings
01:26:45But I am still walking and walking
01:26:48Who was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreating
01:26:56Every time I look at the moon fall
01:27:01I dream of the night that's lost forever
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:10That it's time for you and me
01:27:14Cause the pain so far
01:27:19Was just a little
01:27:25Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
01:27:32Just a little
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:36Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:39I dream of the night that's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:48I'm taking and talking
01:27:51But I will be walking
01:27:53Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:27:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:58In the mirror of heaven
01:28:00My heart is still beating
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07Well, I imagine a world where we're together
01:28:11Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:14I wonder where we're you
01:28:22But I wonder when you are
