Short filmTranscript
00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, where that
00:00:25I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:43We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:01:11How you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:36Because you're already mine.
00:01:40I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:27And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:30His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:35You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:04I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:10I 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,
00:03:28the world's hottest pop star,
00:03:31and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:45but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us.
00:03:57Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart.
00:04:03Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:05She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:08Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight,
00:04:10she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:13I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:16Hope you enjoy.
00:04:26Shit!
00:04:27The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:29I can't let Dex's show get ruined!
00:04:32Echo can fix this!
00:04:36Are you here?
00:04:37I need your help.
00:04:40What the hell is she up to?
00:04:45Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:50I'll be right back.
00:04:55There.
00:04:56Your gear from the studio!
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad!
00:05:00We've talked about this.
00:05:02In public, I am not your daughter.
00:05:04And I'm not Echo.
00:05:05But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:08You made him the star he is.
00:05:11I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:13But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:17Thanks.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh, my God.
00:05:44These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:47Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:58Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01Play that song!
00:06:03God, where's Casey?
00:06:04She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:06The show is a disaster.
00:06:07The fans are waiting.
00:06:08Can you please find her?
00:06:09I need her.
00:06:09No, Dexter.
00:06:12I'm the one you need.
00:06:13What?
00:06:22Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:33Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:47Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:58Casey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:02Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:04I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:17DREW
00:07:17Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?!
00:07:20Uh, and we're back.
00:07:22Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38The next big single is coming to you in 3, 2, 1.
00:08:05Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you write, one thing to remember you buy, the
00:08:14time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:29I am running out of time.
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.
00:09:38I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:52Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:59Yes!
00:10:03Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:06Yes!
00:10:08Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:12I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:17No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:27It was all a lie.
00:10:30All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:37heart.
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:07Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:08Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:12I gave you everything.
00:11:16I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her, okay?
00:11:22I-I-I-I-I owe her, all right? I don't-
00:11:24You owe her?
00:11:26Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:30What has she ever done for you?
00:11:32Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:34She made me who I am today.
00:11:36Okay, okay? So-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? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:01And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:07Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:11You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:15Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:24He could have had that with me.
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about, isn't it?
00:12:33Not loyalty.
00:12:35Just your music.
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:43This is my notebook.
00:12:46Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:51That's my notebook.
00:12:52How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:54I'm a musical genius.
00:12:57And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:01Keep it back.
00:13:02Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:04She what has gotten into you?
00:13:06I don't...
00:13:07I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:09Dexy, baby.
00:13:11I know all about girls like her.
00:13:14They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:17She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:20She has been for years.
00:13:22Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:27Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:29Okay?
00:13:29Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Put it in the car, please.
00:13:40Look, 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.
00:13:57Please.
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:19We're over.
00:14:22Dex.
00:14:25Goodbye.
00:14:26Forever.
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:51Dexter Hayes popped a question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
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.
00:15:18I'll come get you.
00:15:35It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:38Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:43Who are you?
00:15:44Let me go.
00:15:46Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:47We won't hurt you.
00:15:49We'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.
00:16:01You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:08We were in love.
00:16:09Or I thought we were.
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:18is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:24Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room.
00:16:30Come alone.
00:16:32Choose to save Scarlet 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!
00:17:00Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:05Obviously not.
00:17:07She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:11You fucked him too?
00:17:13God, our precious Dexter.
00:17:17Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:19Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:22You don't deserve to live.
00:17:24No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:27So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:32That's not true.
00:17:34First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:37You're psychotic.
00:17:38Oh, 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?
00:17:55Casey.
00:17:56Dexter.
00:18:02Dexter.
00:18:03Casey.
00:18:05Dexter, Dexter.
00:18:06Dexter, Dexter, help me.
00:18:08They hit me and then they tied me up
00:18:11and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:13Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:15Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:18We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:20We're your biggest fans.
00:18:22We're doing this for you.
00:18:25Okay, well, if you love me,
00:18:27all right, you'll put the gun down
00:18:29and you'll let these two go, please.
00:18:30No, that's not how this works.
00:18:33Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:36No, we're engaged now.
00:18:38You can't let me die.
00:18:40Dexter, all the love we ever had,
00:18:42all the memories,
00:18:43all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:46did they mean anything?
00:18:47You must choose one to live.
00:18:50Will it be your future wife
00:18:53or your mistress?
00:18:55Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:59They said if I don't choose Scarlet,
00:19:01then they both die.
00:19:02I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:04I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:10Dexter Hayes?
00:19:15You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:19And you loved him?
00:19:21You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:24If that's what you really think, Dex,
00:19:26go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:28Choose now or they both die.
00:19:30Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:32Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:35You 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,
00:19:43two,
00:19:44one.
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:49Scarlet, all right?
00:19:50I choose Scarlet.
00:19:56Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:58I was so scared.
00:20:00He chose Scarlet?
00:20:02Good choice.
00:20:03Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:05Now, wait a minute.
00:20:06You told me that...
00:20:07You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:10Now you get to be the one
00:20:11who saved your soulmate.
00:20:13And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:23I guess this is the end.
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:33Put the gun down!
00:20:35Put the gun down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:39Hey, drop the gun.
00:20:50Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:52Okay, oh, come on.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:54All right.
00:20:56Okay.
00:21:00It's gonna be okay.
00:21:01Okay?
00:21:02You left me to die!
00:21:04And for the record,
00:21:05I never needed your money!
00:21:07I was right to walk away,
00:21:09staying with you
00:21:10was the biggest mistake
00:21:11I've ever made!
00:21:13Look, Casey,
00:21:14you don't understand, all right?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm done
00:21:18living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:21Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey, Casey.
00:21:28Hey.
00:21:36Casey.
00:21:37Casey, stop!
00:21:39Please!
00:21:39Please, stop!
00:21:39Please, please.
00:21:40We're gonna go...
00:21:41Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:42without all this?
00:21:43You should be asking yourself
00:21:45that same question.
00:21:47Good luck staying at the top
00:21:48of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:49You're delusional.
00:21:51He doesn't need you.
00:21:52He has Echo.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:55Sure he does.
00:21:56Fame really has changed you,
00:21:59Dexter Hayes.
00:22:03Fame changed me?
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:06Okay.
00:22:07And what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been
00:22:09sneaking around behind my back
00:22:10this whole time.
00:22:13I never betrayed you
00:22:15how you betrayed me
00:22:16by putting that ring
00:22:17on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:19You chose her
00:22:20and you left me for dead!
00:22:22No, Casey,
00:22:23you don't understand.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god,
00:22:50that's Ed Reed,
00:22:51the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:55So sorry it didn't come sooner,
00:22:57baby girl.
00:23:00You're here now.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:12We took a million,
00:23:16but we're here for you!
00:23:16No, I shouldn't be you!
00:23:17I was trying to have everything
00:23:21you could ever wanted!
00:23:22Who am I?
00:23:23I was trying to...
00:23:24No!
00:23:25Dexter Hayes!
00:23:26That's what you want!
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:33I didn't steal!
00:23:34She has everything!
00:23:36Casey!
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:39Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlet.
00:23:45Mrs Hayes,
00:23:46you should have seen it.
00:23:48I almost died.
00:23:49And that desperate skank
00:23:50cheated on Dexter
00:23:51with some sugar daddy.
00:23:53I always knew
00:23:54she was a gold digger.
00:23:56She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:59Then when that failed,
00:24:00she went after the CEO
00:24:01of the biggest music label
00:24:03in the world.
00:24:04Dexter,
00:24:05she never cared about you.
00:24:07She's been lying to you
00:24:08this entire time.
00:24:09All she ever cared about
00:24:10was money and power.
00:24:12I thought Casey loved me,
00:24:14but the whole time
00:24:15she was in bed
00:24:16with the CEO
00:24:17of Reed Records.
00:24:23Forget him, princess.
00:24:25Hmm?
00:24:26You are much too talented
00:24:27to be running
00:24:28some rockstar's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now,
00:24:36at the annual
00:24:37Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:38announcing you
00:24:39as the new CEO
00:24:41of Reed Records
00:24:42and my daughter,
00:24:43the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show the world
00:24:47who you really are.
00:24:56My back is pressed
00:25:04My back is pressed
00:25:12No, no!
00:25:15Okay, guys,
00:25:16cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing
00:25:21is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look, guys,
00:25:24we have one week,
00:25:26all right,
00:25:26to finish this song
00:25:27before the release.
00:25:28The echo that I know
00:25:30can put together
00:25:30a perfect studio mix
00:25:32in hours.
00:25:33You can't even fix
00:25:34a simple beat
00:25:35or a key?
00:25:37What's going on?
00:25:39Look, Scarlet,
00:25:40I just gotta ask.
00:25:41Are you
00:25:42really
00:25:43Echo?
00:25:47Are you
00:25:48really
00:25:49Echo?
00:25:50Echo?
00:25:50Dexy,
00:25:53of course
00:25:54I am.
00:25:55It's just
00:25:56your new assistant.
00:25:58He's been messing,
00:25:59he's messing
00:26:00with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously
00:26:01trying to sabotage
00:26:03our new album.
00:26:04I mean, look.
00:26:07Last Saved
00:26:08by Max.
00:26:09Yeah,
00:26:09that's because
00:26:10you don't know
00:26:10how to...
00:26:11Okay,
00:26:11you know what?
00:26:12Echo would never
00:26:12put her name
00:26:13on garbage like this.
00:26:16Mr. Hayes,
00:26:17please,
00:26:18listen.
00:26:19It's Jackson.
00:26:20And I'm sorry,
00:26:21but my last assistant
00:26:23would have never
00:26:23screwed me over
00:26:24like that.
00:26:25You're fired.
00:26:32See it again.
00:26:49Good luck staying
00:26:50at the top
00:26:50of the charts
00:26:51once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs
00:26:53used to be so easy
00:26:54with Casey here.
00:27:08We're sorry.
00:27:10You have reached
00:27:10a number
00:27:11that has been
00:27:11disconnected
00:27:12or is no longer
00:27:13in service.
00:27:14All right,
00:27:15she broke my heart
00:27:16and she moved on.
00:27:18So,
00:27:19why can't I
00:27:20do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got.
00:27:39An invitation
00:27:40to the biggest
00:27:41industry event
00:27:42of the year.
00:27:43The Reed Records
00:27:44Music Hall of Fame
00:27:45Gala?
00:27:52Look,
00:27:53I'm not interested.
00:27:54Okay,
00:27:54we have a song
00:27:55to finish.
00:27:56Dexter,
00:27:57you said it yourself.
00:27:59They can lay down
00:27:59a track in hours.
00:28:00We have to go.
00:28:02This is a personal
00:28:02invitation
00:28:03from Mr. Ed Reed
00:28:04himself.
00:28:07Okay,
00:28:07look,
00:28:09I know what
00:28:10you're thinking,
00:28:11but Casey
00:28:12probably meant
00:28:12nothing to him.
00:28:13He's a billionaire
00:28:14record executive.
00:28:15I'm sure he has
00:28:16a whole roster
00:28:17of scorned assistants
00:28:18lining up
00:28:18to get on their knees
00:28:19and work for a few
00:28:20extra bucks.
00:28:21You have to go
00:28:22and you have to
00:28:23impress him, okay?
00:28:24He could make
00:28:24or break our careers.
00:28:27Okay,
00:28:28I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am.
00:28:32We are the
00:28:33industry's
00:28:34it couple.
00:28:35So now,
00:28:36forget about that
00:28:36stupid little
00:28:37assistant of yours
00:28:38and start getting ready.
00:28:40I mean,
00:28:41what was so special
00:28:42about her anyway?
00:28:43Her coarse,
00:28:45tangled hair
00:28:46or her dull,
00:28:50crusty skin
00:28:51or maybe those
00:28:53hideous,
00:28:54god-awful clothes?
00:28:57I'm Echo.
00:28:59I'm the Reed heiress
00:29:00and I'm taking back
00:29:02everything that's mine.

00:29:23to meet this mysterious
00:29:25new CEO
00:29:26of Reed Records?
00:29:27I hear Ed Reed
00:29:29is introducing
00:29:29the whole world
00:29:30to his daughter,
00:29:31the heiress
00:29:32to the Reed
00:29:33fortune.
00:29:33Do you think
00:29:33she's going to be
00:29:34the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:35Who is this
00:29:37mysterious heiress?
00:29:38She is Ed Reed's
00:29:39daughter.
00:29:40I'll bet she'll be
00:29:41making a very
00:29:42splashy entrance.
00:29:43Whoever she is,
00:29:44we need to impress her,
00:29:45okay?
00:29:45She could be our ticket
00:29:46to a number one album.
00:29:47Look!
00:29:48Here she is now!
00:29:59No fucking way!
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:31Hey, Dex.
00:30:32Long time no see.
00:30:36Dex has already
00:30:38moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:39I should be happy
00:30:40walking away from him.
00:30:42So,
00:30:43why does my heart
00:30:44still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her.
00:31:01But instead,
00:31:02focus on kissing
00:31:03up to Ed Reed
00:31:04so he introduces
00:31:05us to the new CEO.
00:31:07You should listen
00:31:07to her, Dexter.
00:31:09All we need to do
00:31:10is get on their good side
00:31:11and our album
00:31:12will go straight
00:31:12to number one.
00:31:14She's right.
00:31:15I have to impress
00:31:16Ed Reed
00:31:17and this new CEO
00:31:18if I want our album
00:31:19to be a hit.
00:31:36Scarlet!
00:31:37What a terrible surprise!
00:31:39I should have known
00:31:40you'd sneak in here
00:31:41hunting for your next
00:31:41sugar daddy
00:31:42but this party
00:31:43is for the elite
00:31:44of the music industry only.
00:31:46I suggest you wait
00:31:47on the street corner
00:31:47with the other hookers.
00:31:49But the party's
00:31:50just getting started.
00:31:51I can't miss
00:31:52the big announcement.
00:31:56Why?
00:31:57So you can seduce
00:31:58the new CEO
00:31:59of Reed Records too?
00:32:00I hear he's much
00:32:02more selective
00:32:03than Ed Reed
00:32:04so don't expect him
00:32:05to look at you twice.
00:32:06And don't distract
00:32:07Dexter tonight.
00:32:08Leave
00:32:08or I will have security
00:32:10escort you out.
00:32:11I'd love
00:32:12to see you try.
00:32:16Jealous?
00:32:18I loved him
00:32:19and those feelings
00:32:20don't just go away.
00:32:21How could she
00:32:22change his mind
00:32:23so easily?
00:32:25You can dress up
00:32:27all you want
00:32:29but you will
00:32:30always
00:32:31just be
00:32:32Dexter's
00:32:32lowly
00:32:33little errant girl.
00:32:34I thought
00:32:35she was
00:32:35someone important.
00:32:37She's just
00:32:37a desperate
00:32:38assistant
00:32:38playing dress up.
00:32:40Imagine getting
00:32:41dragged by
00:32:41the Scarlet Heart.
00:32:43I would never
00:32:43emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where do you think
00:32:45she got the jewels though?
00:32:46Probably out
00:32:47whoring herself
00:32:48to old men
00:32:49just like all
00:32:50of those
00:32:50desperate social
00:32:51climbers
00:32:52in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm.
00:32:54They got that right.
00:32:55Hmm.
00:32:57Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something
00:32:59Scarlet.
00:33:00Is it
00:33:01really me
00:33:02who's putting
00:33:03on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:09How dare you?
00:33:12Careful.
00:33:13The new CEO
00:33:14might be watching.
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:17You think
00:33:17you're hot shit
00:33:18just because
00:33:18you're the real
00:33:19Echo.
00:33:20You may have
00:33:20the talent
00:33:21but you have
00:33:22no money
00:33:22and no connections
00:33:23besides the ones
00:33:24you make
00:33:24and pay by

00:33:47been a true
00:33:48hero of mine.

00:33:50I'd really love
00:33:50to put that

00:34:00Oh,
00:34:00I can't wait
00:34:01to see the look
00:34:01on his face
00:34:02when he realizes
00:34:03the assistant
00:34:04he rejected
00:34:05is my daughter
00:34:06and the heiress
00:34:07to the Reid

00:34:12about the record
00:34:13that Scarlet
00:34:14Heart and I
00:34:14are working on.
00:34:16I really think
00:34:17that between
00:34:17my lyrics
00:34:18and,
00:34:18well,
00:34:19her producing
00:34:19and your musical
00:34:21genius
00:34:21over the last
00:34:22many decades,
00:34:23I think we could
00:34:24really make
00:34:24something special.
00:34:25Well,
00:34:26you make a
00:34:26compelling point.
00:34:28And,
00:34:29you know,
00:34:29if it's not too much,
00:34:30it actually might
00:34:31be helpful
00:34:31for the record.
00:34:32Well,
00:34:32maybe if you could
00:34:33put in a good word
00:34:34with the new CEO,
00:34:36well,
00:34:37that would make me
00:34:38forever grateful.
00:34:40Why don't you
00:34:41put in a good word
00:34:41yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO
00:34:43is already here.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:57Casey.
00:34:58Casey.
00:34:59Casey.
00:35:00Casey.
00:35:03I've been trying
00:35:04to call you
00:35:05the last few days
00:35:06and,
00:35:07well,
00:35:07I guess I'm just
00:35:07surprised that instead
00:35:09you just showed up here.
00:35:10I hated myself
00:35:12for wanting to
00:35:13pick up the phone,
00:35:14for wanting to
00:35:15hear his voice again.
00:35:16But after what
00:35:17he did to me,
00:35:18I couldn't give him
00:35:19the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh,
00:35:21you've been calling
00:35:22me for the last few days.
00:35:24What,
00:35:24you missed me already?
00:35:26Did Ed Reed bring
00:35:27Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is
00:35:30invite only.
00:35:34Yeah.
00:35:35Dang,
00:35:35I guess I left
00:35:36my invite at home,
00:35:37but I think
00:35:38I'm gonna stay.
00:35:40You know,
00:35:40Scarlet,
00:35:41on the other hand,
00:35:41though,
00:35:41has been throwing
00:35:42around nothing
00:35:43but vile slander
00:35:45and empty accusations
00:35:46all night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go,
00:35:48it should be her.
00:35:49Unless,
00:35:50you want me
00:35:51to expose your lies
00:35:52to Dexter
00:35:53right here,
00:35:53right now.
00:35:54Yeah,
00:35:55right.
00:35:56The only ones
00:35:56who can remove me
00:35:57are Mr. Reed himself
00:35:58or the new CEO.

01:02:45But Dexter, you can't do this. I love you.
01:03:00Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on M5. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:07Did you hear that? Millions of fans are 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. Let's go.
01:03:23No.
01:03:24Scarlet!
01:03:38You can't start the show without me.
01:03:44I knew you'd make it.
01:03:45Of course she did.
01:03:47Her 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
01:04:01none.
01:04:01Mmm. I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:06Oh. Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:10Wreck-a-lake, Scarlet.
01:04:12Or should I say...
01:04:14Echo.
01:04:15Don't choke.
01:04:18Hope you don't choke.
01:04:40The playback's down. The 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. Now.
01:04:59This is bad. All right. 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...
01:05:11Echo.
01:05:12Right?
01:05:22Yes.
01:05:24It's true.
01:05:25I'm Echo.
01:05:26The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:31Then prove it.
01:05:33Go ahead.
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on. You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:44I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:46I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:49This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:51I must have another file I can play.
01:05:53I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:56Of course.
01:05:58Watch me work my magic.
01:06:17And that's how it's done.
01:06:19Show must go on.
01:06:21Nice try.
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:25You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:28Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:31And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:43Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping the-
01:06:49Don't listen to her!
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:58If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her-
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet!
01:07:03Why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real.
01:07:05Okay, you're-
01:07:05You're Echo.
01:07:07Okay?
01:07:07So, just fix the track.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11Come on, Echo.
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:23Scarlet!
01:07:23You 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 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- I actually would, gladly, but it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:40Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:45Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:52Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:54Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track. It's that simple. You know how to do this.
01:07:59You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here!
01:08:09I can't let her expose me. Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend!
01:08:15Boop!
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:41It would take a spic.
01:08:46Okay.
01:08:59Are you guys...
01:09:01Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on, Echo! Show him your talent, keep going!
01:09:09Get 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 that I fought for for however many years?
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:38that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:41And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
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, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:58There's no saving the song.
01:09:59Now it's over. It's over.
01:10:16Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:20No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other, everybody's, hey!
01:10:24It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:41I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down
01:10:44as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:47If I couldn't mix a whole live track,
01:10:49what makes you think you could?
01:10:50For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:53And if you don't?
01:10:55Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:59Happily.
01:11:04Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO
01:11:07dig her own grave.
01:11:08It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties
01:11:11with her track.
01:11:12Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:15Dexter, sing me the first line of your song,
01:11:17just your voice.
01:11:19I know.
01:11:20I know.
01:11:27I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:34This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:38Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:43This moment's got a sting.
01:11:47Good.
01:11:51Now let's make a hit.
01:11:59Let's fucking go!
01:12:16Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:21So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23I can't.
01:12:24I 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 genius?
01:12:38That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:40You are not the kind for a show.
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:48Stop!
01:12:49Stop it!
01:13:01Casey.
01:13:04You're Echo.
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:09This is my song.
01:13:11She just ripped it off.
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:14Don't listen to her.
01:13:17I'm Echo.
01:13:20I 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.
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, 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 Scarlet Heart 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 Scarlet 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.
01:15:02Scarlet.
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo.
01:15:06I 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.
01:15:17That'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 me?
01:15:23Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:26You're fucking flawed, and you're a damn liar.
01:15:30Casey is the one who built my career.
01:15:33Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:15:36She'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 is 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 pressed 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 places
01:17:24I'm, I need you to know I'm afraid I'm coming off.
01:17:25And help them come now.
01:17:27Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:18:07Oh, oh, oh, oh
01:18:21Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:23Are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:29And my work speaks for itself
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry
01:18:33And we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore
01:18:42You ruined everything
01:18:46Dexter was gonna be mine
01:18:48I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world
01:19:00But you have to get in my way
01:19:05That won't happen again
01:19:06Percy!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
01:19:20Dex, Dex, stay with me
01:19:22Oh, my God
01:19:28Hey, hey, hey
01:19:30You've been here all night
01:19:33You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life, but
01:19:39As soon as I thank him, we can move on
01:19:42You know, if you say so
01:19:43But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:19:45Why he risked his own life to save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now
01:19:50Things will never return back to how they were before
01:19:53Casey
01:19:55Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59But without him, I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together
01:20:05They made millions believe in love
01:20:08Your love
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:12I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives
01:20:27Want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:29And sign him to the label again
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves
01:20:39Dexter's sleeping
01:20:40But you can see him now
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess
01:21:06It was a close call
01:21:08One centimeter to the right
01:21:09He could have punctured his lung
01:21:12If Dex couldn't sing anymore
01:21:13His life might as well be over
01:21:15Oh, hopefully, he'll recover
01:21:17But for now, all he need is rest
01:21:21That's it
01:21:22Okay?
01:21:23Okay
01:21:29What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:33How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:37If you don't make it through this
01:21:39I will never forgive you
01:21:42Never
01:21:46Bye
01:21:52My God, you're beautiful
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be
01:22:03I think I have every right to be
01:22:05Casey, I
01:22:07I miss you
01:22:13I miss him, too
01:22:14But everything we've put each other through
01:22:17Can we really be together again?
01:22:20You saved my life, and
01:22:25I will be forever grateful
01:22:30And in return, I'll give you your song for free
01:22:32And, um, we can go our separate ways
01:22:35We can end on a high note
01:22:36No
01:22:37No
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet
01:23:12I only did it because I had to
01:23:14They forced you to choose her
01:23:16I-I
01:23:17I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:19I would never
01:23:20Ever
01:23:20Ever 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
01:23:27Lose you
01:23:28And I
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that
01:23:31Than losing your life forever
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter
01:23:40I meant it
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else
01:23:44Me neither
01:23:49You're my little muse
01:23:53My pop star
01:23:58Which
01:24:00Reminds me
01:24:03Reed Records
01:24:04Would like to formally
01:24:06Invite you to headline
01:24:08The Wildlight Festival
01:24:09The Wildlight Festival
01:24:11Is the biggest music stage
01:24:12In the world
01:24:13You saved their CEO
01:24:15You deserve it
01:24:16You're the reason
01:24:17I sing
01:24:19You're the reason I live
01:24:20I don't want to songwrite
01:24:21Or do any of this
01:24:22If I don't have you
01:24:23You
01:24:25You're my world
01:24:26Casey
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs
01:24:30Okay
01:24:30I know
01:24:32But none of them compare to how I feel
01:24:35I don't want to be with you
01:24:36For just who you are
01:24:37Or what you have
01:24:38Or any of that stuff
01:24:40I don't even want to sing
01:24:41Or have this career
01:24:42I'd give it up in a second
01:24:43If it meant just being with you
01:24:45That's all I need
01:24:48We do it together
01:24:54I don't have a sound without you Dexter Hayes
01:24:56Okay
01:25:00I want us to do this together
01:25:04I love you
01:25:07I love you too
01:25:21This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life
01:25:26Then you'd better give them one hell of a show
01:25:30Yes ma'am
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed
01:25:43Who is my echo
01:25:45But more importantly
01:25:46She is undoubtedly the love of my life
01:25:52So I hope you enjoy
01:26:15Just let me know
01:26:18It will be time I
01:26:21Remember to smile
01:26:23I imagine a world
01:26:25We're together
01:26:38This goes on
01:26:41The stuff in the stockings
01:26:44But I am still walking
01:26:47You're all through
01:26:51Was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreating
01:26:56And every time I
01:26:59Look at the moon's fall
01:27:01I dream of the night
01:27:03It's lost forever
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:09That it's time for you and me
01:27:15Cause the bed is so far
