00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, where that
00:00:25I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:43We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:01:11How you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:36Because you're already mine.
00:01:40I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:27And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:30His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:35You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:54I mean, I can't wait to make you my job.
00:03:01I can't wait to achieve you.
00:03:02You don't call me pretty.
00:03:03You know I's better than that.
00:03:05Take a flight from New Zealand City.
00:03:07How'd it be so you in this bag?
00:03:10You do it so you rise.
00:03:13I need something.
00:03:15I need champagne.
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 grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause 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. She'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 Dex's show get ruined. Echo 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. You 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.
00:05:20When 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. Is 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.
00:06:09No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:13What?
00:06:22Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:26Are you her? Are 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. Casey 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. The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:46I'm a man as I am.
00:08:04Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you right.
00:08:10One thing to remember by, the time I looked into your eye.
00:08:17The secret field in the gate, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:56I was running out of time, you know I think you got to be right now.
00:09:05The secret field I started learning.
00:09:06I never did.
00:09:06I never did.
00:09:10Who knew I had any interest norameen in three fields.
00:09:10Every time I look, I didn't even know you.
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.
00:09:39I loved her.
00:09:40And she betrayed me.
00:09:53Oh my god!
00:09:54Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god!
00:09:56Is 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.
00:10:20But she made my career.
00:10:23And Casey betrayed me.
00:10:27It was all a lie.
00:10:30Alright, I can play along with his engagement.
00:10:33And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight.
00:11:02But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:08You gave me no choice.
00:11:12You gave me no choice.
00:11:13I gave you everything.
00:11:16I loved you.
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her.
00:11:21Oh.
00:11:21Okay?
00:11:22I-I-I-I-I owe her.
00:11:23Alright?
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.
00:12:08All 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...
00:12:18A 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.
00:12:36Just...
00:12:36Your music.
00:12:39What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:44This...
00:12:44Is 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...
00:12:59Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:01Give 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!
00:13:26No!
00:13:27Then 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.
00:13:48So, please just...
00:13:50Just tell me the truth.
00:13:51Okay?
00:13:51Right now!
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:54We're over.
00:13:57Yes.
00:14:01Please.
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:18Goodbye.
00:14:20We'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.
00:14:51Dexter Hayes popped a question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:01Dad.
00:15:03I gave Dex everything.
00:15:05I 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.
00:15:19I'll come get you.
00:15:24Casey.
00:15:25Casey, where are you?
00:15:35Looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:38Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:43Who are you?
00:15:44Let me go.
00:15:46Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:47We won't hurt you.
00:15:49We're your fans too.
00:15:51We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
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.
00:16:07We were in love.
00:16:09Or...
00:16:10I thought we were.
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight...
00:16:18...is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:24Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room.
00:16:31Come alone.
00:16:32Choose to save Scarlet Hart 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!
00:17:01Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:06Obviously not.
00:17:08She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:11You fucked him too?
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.
00:17:32That's not true!
00:17:33First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:37You're psychotic!
00:17:38Oh, 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?
00:17:55Macy!
00:17:56Dexter!
00:18:02Dexter!
00:18:04Macy!
00:18:04Dexter! Dexter!
00:18:07Dexter, help me!
00:18:08They hit me, and then they tied me up,
00:18:11and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:13Okay guys, let's...
00:18:15Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:17We...
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...
00:18:27Alright?
00:18:28You'll put the gun down, and then let these two go.
00:18:30Please.
00:18:30No, that's not how this works!
00:18:32No, that's not how this works!
00:18:33Dexie!
00:18:34You would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:37We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:40Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's 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.
00:19:02I...
00:19:02I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:04I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:14Dex!
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...
00:19:26Go ahead, make your choice!
00:19:28Choose now, or they both die!
00:19:30Dexter!
00:19:32Dexter, please!
00:19:33Think of everything I've done for you!
00:19:35You 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...
00:19:44Two...
00:19:44One!
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay!
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:49Scarlet, alright?
00:19:51I choose Scarlet.
00:19:56Dexter!
00:19:57I'm gonna faint!
00:19:58I was so scared.
00:20:00He chose Scarlet?
00:20:02Good choice.
00:20:03Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:05Now wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:07You made your choice, Dexter Hayes!
00:20:10Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate!
00:20:13And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece!
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:23I guess...
00:20:25This is the end.
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:32Put the gun down!
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:38Hey!
00:20:39Drop 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!
00:20:56Okay!
00:21:00It's gonna be okay.
00:21:02You left me to die!
00:21:04You left me to die!
00:21:04And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:07I was right to walk away!
00:21:09Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:13Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm...
00:21:17Done!
00:21:18Living in your Shadow Dex!
00:21:21Goodbye!
00:21:26I...
00:21:27Casey!
00:21:27Casey!
00:21:28Hey!
00:21:36Casey!
00:21:37Casey, stop!
00:21:39Please, stop!
00:21:39Please, please!
00:21:40Where are you 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!
00:21:50He doesn't need you, he 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.
00:22:07Then what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time!
00:22:12I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:18You chose her!
00:22:20You chose her!
00:22:20And you left me for dead!
00:22:22No!
00:22:23In case you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:53Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:55So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl!
00:23:00You're here now.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:02Oh my god!
00:23:03Oh my god, I'm gonna need to live with her!
00:23:04And I'm gonna need a chance to kill her!
00:23:13I'm gonna need the sleep to kill her!
00:23:14Oh my god, I'll need to see him!
00:23:15There's a thing I'm gonna need to kill her to kill her!
00:23:15It's gonna be all right!
00:23:15It's gonna be you, Al!
00:23:16No, I shouldn't be you!
00:23:17I don't need it.
00:23:18How about you?
00:23:18I don't even have anything you'd ever want!
00:23:19I'm gonna have everything you'd ever want!
00:23:22You are mine!
00:23:23I'm trying to kill her!
00:23:24I'm trying to kill her!
00:23:24You are mine!
00:23:25I'm trying to kill her!
00:23:25Let me walk you!
00:23:32KC!
00:23:36KC!
00:23:37KC!
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.
00:23:59Then 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 KC 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?
00:24:34Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:41Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:45It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:57My back is pressed.
00:25:05My back is pressed.
00:25:07My back is pressed.
00:25:12My back is pressed.
00:25:13No no!
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:16Guys, cut the tracks.
00:25:20The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:28The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:33You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:37What's going on?
00:25:39Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:47Are you really Echo?
00:25:50Dexy, of 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, and 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, Dexter.
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.
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.
00:29:35Who 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?
00:30:47Okay.
00:31:00Ignore her.
00:31:01But 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.
00:31:36Scarlett, 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.
00:32:37She'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 those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm.
00:32:54I got that right.
00:32:55Hmm.
00:32:56Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:00Is it really me?
00:33:02Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:08How dare you!
00:33:12Careful.
00:33:13The new CEO might be watching.
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
00:33:24in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:26But me, I'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, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed, hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:46You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:49Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:58Good.
00:34:00Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:05daughter, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:09Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:14and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:23I think we could really make something special.
00:34:25Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:28And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, I, well, that would make
00:34:38me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:40Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:35:15The new CEO is already here.
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:24What, you missed me already?
00:35:25Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only.
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:40You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:47night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:54Yeah, right.
00:35:55The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:00You have no power here.
00:36:02Okay, guys.
00:36:03Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:08Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:10Oh, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:23Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:32Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:37But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:49on one of them.
00:36:50Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:57It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:04He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:06All right, this is it.
00:37:07He'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.
00:37:15The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess.
00:37:21In the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter.
00:37:24Casey Reed.
00:37:30What?
00:37:35No.
00:37:41Casey.
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.
00:38:16Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:17For the lady of the hour.
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.
00:38:27And 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.
00:38:35I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:41Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:43He was her father.
00:38:44This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:47She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:53How could I be so blind?
00:39:02Suits you?
00:39:04Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:11Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:24I just...
00:39:25I still miss you.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:45But, I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:49If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:51Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:52Why you want me back?
00:39:53After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:03If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey, I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:11I lied?
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen, you have to believe me, please, I was just trying to...
00:40:22Look, I, just tell me one thing, I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just, is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:33Oh, Tank your career, I made his career.
00:40:38I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:41You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:46Wait.
00:40:50This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:53Why you left me for dead.
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:01Threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:06No, no.
00:41:07No, no, no.
00:41:08Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:13Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:21Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:32Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, 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.
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:56She 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.
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:11She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:14Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:15Stop.
00:42:17You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:20I'm done talking about this.
00:42:41I've known you for years, I thought you'd stay the same.
00:42:51All of those years, I've grown here in a blade.
00:43:04Fade at twine, lost in time, I'm still missing you.
00:43:14I'm still, I'm still, I'm still missing you.
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:48You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:54Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:56I never gave up on us.
00:43:58She's got to know the truth.
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:10Fine.
00:44:11Well, let's not talk.
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:22Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:35Not anymore.
00:44:37I'm your former boss now.
00:44:39In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:46I don't give a fuck 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 to.
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.
00:45:08But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:16I don't care about 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 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
00:45:37And you still love me.
00:46:03You're right.
00:46:04I am like an instrument.
00:46:06The way I let you play me.
00:46:08After what you did,
00:46:09why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me.
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you
00:46:14I do not 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?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months.
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:27A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:31I mean, we have a Dexter Hay-sized 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.
00:46:40I 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!
00:46:48Casey 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.
00:47:05Perfect 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 been 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.
00:47:28Wow.
00:47:30Hired to be blown away.
00:47:33Actually, I was hoping for a live performance,
00:47:35if you don't mind.
00:47:36So many musicians out there
00:47:37faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:39Of course.
00:47:42But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:45Why don't we toast first
00:47:45to this potential partnership?
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:06I do love straight vodka.
00:48:15But you know what I
00:48:17actually
00:48:19love even more than that?
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:24asshole 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 thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely.
00:48:46And a fraud.
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me, not when I get read records, or 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 to see my new mistress.
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos all 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 going to have no choice but to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:23You're delusional.
00:49:24Stay away from me.
00:49:26I'm fine.
00:49:26You don't test Sasha.
00:49:28Hey!
00:49:29You can't just fucking hand it off.
00:49:32I'm going to break your fucking hand.
00:49:34Dexter Hayes.
00:49:35Huh?
00:49:36Are you okay?
00:49:37I'm fine.
00:49:42What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:44I could sue you for that.
00:49:46I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:48You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:50And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:53Okay?
00:49:57Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:59Jesus.
00:50:00We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:50:02You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:06I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:09Her name is Casey Ring.
00:50:12And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking 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 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, what 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-
00:50:54Okay!
00:50:55I know!
00:50:57Newsflash!
00:50:57I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:51:00So, it's not your concern, where I am, or what I'm doing, okay?
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.
00:51:21And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:27You're way too 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, I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:47But you don't fucking listen.
00:51:49Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:03So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:15I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:20You were never the side piece.
00:52:23And you know it.
00:52:33Boss, I have news!
00:52:37Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:41Please, stop following me.
00:52:46Or else it's going to 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, 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 going to give you back 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 aired 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.
00:53:52He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:53:55He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:54:00Dax took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:02For 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, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:21night.
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:24She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:28She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:30Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:34Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:38I mean, she knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be
00:54:44a genius producer.
00:54:45I don't know how she thinks she's going to 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?
00:55:09Or 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 going to go with Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:26Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:39Invest at.
00:55:53Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:55:59How's Dexter?
00:56:00Engaged.
00:56:01Yes, 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.
00:56:16We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:18Of course.
00:56:19I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:21A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:30Please don't touch that.
00:56:32Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:36Yeah, it's you.
00:56:38Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:43You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:46I have to ask you to leave now.
00:56:52I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
00:56:56I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:56:59Because of your nepo-baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:05Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:07Excuse me?
00:57:08I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator.
00:57:12And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:16Yeah.
00:57:16You're right.
00:57:18In that case, you should have this.
00:57:28No!
00:57:33Oh, my God!
00:57:35What?
00:57:39Oops.
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:42My bad.
00:57:44Are 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.
00:57:54To Dexter 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.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:07Just kidding.
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, the genius producer.
00:58:39Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, actually, actually, uh, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:46In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:51I'm gonna just...
00:58:54My apologies, my apologies, my apologies.
00:58:56No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we saw it first.
00:58:59Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:59:02I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:59:04You can pay all you want for the guitar, but it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:13How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:21That's enough.
00:59:25Hi, Dexie.
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Fixtor, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:35You need to do something.
00:59:36Ma, 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.
01:00:09You 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 it 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 from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:47Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're going to make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:00Oh, it's okay.
01:01:01Scarlett could have it for free.
01:01:02As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:08Casey, 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.
01:01:18You will regret this.
01:01:20Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:23She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:27Thanks, Mom.
01:01:34One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:37It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:41Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:43Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:46so your gift means nothing.
01:01:50Did 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?
01:02:05No.
01:02:06That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:13But not anymore.
01:02:16I don't need you.
01:02:27Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:29Yeah?
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:33Yes, sir?
01:03:00Oh, one more thing.
01:03:03She's fired.
01:03:03We'll begin live.
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.
01:03:22Let'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.
01:03:52You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:54I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:04:00none.
01:04:01Mm, I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:06Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:10Wake a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:12Or should I say Echo?
01:04:15Don't choke.
01:04:18Hope you don't choke.
01:04:40The playback's down.
01:04:42The track's gone, completely white.
01:04:44You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make that version.
01:04:52I 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, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:02We're gonna burn the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:08I have an idea.
01:05:11You're Echo, right?
01:05:22Yes, it's true.
01:05:25I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:31Then prove it.
01:05:33Go ahead.
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on.
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean, this 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.
01:06:19She'll 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 going to have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:06:49Don't listen to her.
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:58If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real.
01:07:05Okay, here, you're Echo.
01:07:07Okay, so just fix the track.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11Come on, Echo.
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:23Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:26You have to fix this.
01:07:27I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:33Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I actually would, gladly, 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?
01:07:46Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:53Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:56It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:07:58You 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.
01:08:09I 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.
01:08:43Boop.
01:08:46Boop.
01:08:47Boop.
01:08:48Boop.
01:08:49Boop.
01:08:50Boop.
01:08:51Boop.
01:08:51Boop.
01:08:52Boop.
01:08:54Boop.
01:08:55Boop.
01:08:56Boop.
01:08:56Boop.
01:08:58Boop.
01:09:00Boop.
01:09:00Boop.
01:09:01Boop.
01:09:01Boop.
01:09:01Boop.
01:09:02Oh, my God.
01:09:03Is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on, Echo.
01:09:07Show them your talent.
01:09:08Keep going.
01:09:08Get off the stage.
01:09:10You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:14All right, look.
01:09:17It's done.
01:09:19You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am.
01:09:26That whole career.
01:09:27that I fought for for however how many years yeah because you know what someone
01:09:36that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just

01:12:35Since when has Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:38That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:41The kind for sure.
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:49Stop! Stop it!
01:13:03Casey, you're Echo.
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
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.
01:13:17I'm Echo.
01:13:20I didn't even make that version.
01:13:22I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:26Go 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. She's just taking the credit.
01:13:42I had to mix the track live, Dexter, so that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:48You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:56I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:59$200 million.
01:14:01$200 million?
01:14:02For one song?
01:14:04That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:07And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:11Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:14And one last thing.
01:14:16I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:21That's ridiculous.
01:14:22Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:26I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album, and Dexter's career could crash and
01:14:31burn.
01:14:31So, what will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking.
01:14:41I was wrong about you.
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:47I'm sorry.
01:14:50And you?
01:14:52Do it.
01:14:53Apologize to her.
01:14:55That bitch!
01:14:56Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything!
01:15:00Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:01Tell the world the truth.
01:15:02Scarlett.
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo.
01:15:05I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:09They are happy?
01:15:12They are happy?
01:15:16Wait, that's not what I really meant.
01:15:20Dexter, she manipulated me.
01:15:22You're still my fiance?
01:15:23You believe me?
01:15:24Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:26You're fucking flawed, and you're a damn liar.
01:15:30Cassie is the one who built my career.
01:15:33Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:15:35She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:15:41Our engagement is off, and so is the record.
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:08The album, terminating your contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:13Career's over.
01:16:19You got yourself a DL case.
01:16:29Hit it.
01:16:35If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:16:45My back is fast against the wall.
01:16:52I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:16:58Your name's on fire in my wings.
01:17:03It's burning for 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 phases.
01:17:23But you're not open to give love.
01:17:40You're not open to give love.
01:18:27Echo?
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.
01:19:05That won't happen again.
01:19:07Percy!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:13No!
01:19:14No!
01:19:20Dex!
01:19:21Dex!
01:19:21Stay 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
01:19:47save 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?
01:19:58I said, but without him, I would've 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. 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.
01:20:24The 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.
01:20:38Dexter 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. One centimeter to the right. He could've 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 he need is rest.
01:21:21That's it. Okay? 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.
01:21:42Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52My God, you're beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:06Casey, 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, 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?
01:22:47There.
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:12I only did it because I had to.
01:23:14They forced you to choose her.
01:23:16I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:19I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:22I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:24And I knew that I'd break your heart, 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.
01:23:54My pop star.
01:23:59Which...
01:24:00Reminds me?
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight List.
01:24:10The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:14You 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? I 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.
01:24:48You 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 better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:30Yes, ma'am.
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:25:49my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:25:59So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:19Every time I remember to smile.
01:26:23I imagine a world where together.
01:26:38This goes on.
01:26:42There's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking.
01:26:47You're all we're doing.
01:26:51I was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreated.
01:26:57Every time I look at the moonfall, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:06Soon, you'll see, that it's time for you and me.
01:27:14Cause the best so far
01:27:19Was just a little
01:27:25Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
01:27:31Just a little
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:38I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:48Take me out of the dark in
01:27:51But I will be watching
01:27:55You're the mirror
01:27:57The mirror in heaven
01:28:00My heart is still beating
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07I imagine a world where we're together
01:28:10I imagine a world where I am
