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 can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:58I can't wait to make me my wife even though.
00:03:01I don't know.
00:03:02I can't wait to make me my wife.
00:03:02He don't call me pretty.
00:03:03He knows better than that.
00:03:05Take a flight from the city.
00:03:07I'm going to set an hour in his bed.
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?

00:09:05The secret field in the gate
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:19Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:38I loved her, and she betrayed me
00:09:52Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:58Yes!
00:10:00Oh 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
00:10:20But she made my career, and Casey betrayed me
00:10:27It was all a lie
00:10:30Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:33And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:55You promised me
00:11:00That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:02But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:12I gave you everything
00:11:16I loved you
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her
00:11:21Oh
00:11:21Okay, I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:23Alright, I don't...
00:11:25You 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, so-so-so that's why
00:11:38What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet is Echo
00:11:50You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is
00:11:55You know what?
00:11:56I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:00And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:06Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:11You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:14Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:24He could have had that with me
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:30Isn't it?
00:12:33Not loyalty
00:12:34Just
00:12:36Your music
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41Hmm?
00:12:43This
00:12:44Is my notebook
00:12:45Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:48For 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
00:13:00Keep it back
00:13:01Dexter, she cut me
00:13:04See, 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
00:13:12All 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
00:13:21Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:26Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:28Okay?
00:13:29Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Go wait in the car
00:13:34Please
00:13:40Casey
00:13:45Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:47So, please just
00:13:49Just tell me the truth
00:13:51Okay, right now
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:00Please
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway
00:14:18We're over
00:14:20Dex
00:14:24Goodbye
00:14:25Forever
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:50Dexter 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
00:15:10What happened, Princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Hart
00:15:14She stole him
00:15:16And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:18I'll come get you
00:15:24Casey
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
00:15:45Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:47We won't hurt you
00:15:48We're your fans, too
00:15:50We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:57We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:01You're trying to steal him from his soul mate
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him
00:16:07We 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
00:16:24Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room
00:16:30Come alone
00:16:31Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:33And we'll spare them
00:16:35Choose your little assistant
00:16:37And 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?
00:16:48So 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 fiancƩe?
00:17:06Obviously not
00:17:07She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:11You fucked him, too?
00:17:13God
00:17:14Our precious Dexter
00:17:16Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:19Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:22You don't deserve to live
00:17:23No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:26So, if Casey dies
00:17:29Then the truth dies with her
00:17:31That's not true!
00:17:33First you steal my identity
00:17:35Now 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
00:17:41Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:43And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:47You're crazier than they are
00:17:49Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:55Casey
00:17:56Dexter!
00:18:02Dexter!
00:18:04Casey!
00:18:04Dexter! Dexter!
00:18:07Dexter, help me
00:18:08They hit me
00:18:09And 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
00:18:24Okay, well, if you love me
00:18:27Alright
00:18:27You'll put the gun down
00:18:29And you'll let these two go
00:18:30Please
00:18:30No, that's not how this works
00:18:33Dexy
00:18:34You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:36We're engaged now
00:18:38You can't let me die
00:18:39Dex
00:18:40All the love we ever had
00:18:42All the memories
00:18:43All the I love you's you told me
00:18:45Did 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
00:19:04But I
00:19:04I have to break her heart
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:15You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:19And you loved him?
00:19:21You leeched off him
00:19:22For half a decade
00:19:24If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:26Go ahead
00:19:27Make your choice
00:19:28Choose now or they both die
00:19:30Dexter
00:19:31Dexter, please
00:19:32Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:34You dumped her
00:19:36You chose me
00:19:37Don't let them murder me
00:19:38That'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, alright?
00:19:50I choose Scarlet
00:19:56Dexter
00:19:56I'm gonna faint
00:19:57I 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 who saved your soulmate
00:20:13And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no
00:20:17I guess
00:20:24This is the end
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter

00:21:03And for the record
00:21:05I never needed your money

00:26:56I
00:26:56I
00:27:17I
00:27:18I
00:27:18So why can't I do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got! An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year! The Reed Records Music Hall
00:27:45of Fame Gala!
00:27:52Look, I'm not interested, okay? We have a song to finish!
00:27:56Dexter! You said it yourself, they can lay down a track in hours! We have to go! This is a
00:28:02personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself!
00:28:07Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him. He's a billionaire record executive. I'm
00:28:16sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants and all that.
00:28:18He's been lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks!
00:28:21You have to go and you have to impress him, okay? He could make or break our careers!
00:28:27Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am!
00:28:31We
00:28:32Are the industry's it couple!
00:28:35So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and
00:28:39Start getting ready!
00:28:40I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:43Her
00:28:44Coarse
00:28:45Tangled hair
00:28:47Her
00:28:49Dull crusty skin
00:28:51Or
00:28:51Maybe those
00:28:53Hideous
00:28:54God-awful clothes
00:28:57I'm Echo
00:28:58I'm the Reed heiress
00:29:00And I'm taking back everything that's mine
00:29:12How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:17We're honored!
00:29:18And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:22Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:27I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:33Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know, who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:38She is Ed Reed's daughter. I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:43Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:45She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:47Look! Here she is now!
00:29:59No fucking way!
00:30:01No fucking way!
00:30:25No fucking way!
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:31Hey Dex!
00:30:32Long time no see.
00:30:36Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:39I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:42So...
00:30:43Why does my heart still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her.
00:31:01And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:06You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:09All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:14She's right.
00:31:15I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:27Hmm.
00:31:32Hmm.
00:31:33Hmm.
00:31:35Hmm.
00:31:36Hmm.
00:31:36Hmm.
00:31:37Scarlet!
00:31:37What a terrible surprise!
00:31:39I should've known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:42But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:46I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:49But the party's just getting started.
00:31:51I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:56Why?
00:31:57So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records, too?
00:32:01I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:06And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:08Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:11I'd love to see you try.
00:32:16Jealous?
00:32:18I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:21How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:25You can dress up all you want.
00:32:29But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:34I thought she was someone important.
00:32:36She's just a desperate assistant playing dress-up.
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart.
00:32:43I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:49Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm.
00:32:54They got that right.
00:32:55Hmm.
00:32:56Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:00Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:08How 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,
00:33:34I will get you canceled so fucking hard.
00:33:36Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed.
00:33:42Hi.
00:33:42Dexter Hayes.
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:46You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:49Well, I'd really love to put that, um...
00:33:52Well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:57Of course I can.
00:33:58Good.
00:34:00Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:02when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter.
00:34:06Ah, 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,
00:34:13the record that Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing,
00:34:20and you're a 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.
00:34:29And, you know, if it's not too much,
00:34:30it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO,
00:34:36I, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:40Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:34:57Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days,
00:35:06and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:24What, you missed me already?
00:35:25Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only.
00:35:34Yeah, dang, 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
00:35:44vile slander and empty accusations all night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:54Yeah, 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, Ed 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
00:36:49put her name on one of them, because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:58It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:04He's going to call us on stage.
00:37:06All right, this is it.
00:37:08He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:10I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire and the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess and the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:29What?
00:37:32No.
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.
00:38:19Ugh.
00:38:20That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:23Dad, this is too much.
00:38:25Throw something from your old man.
00:38:26And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:30This cannot be happening.
00:38:32She's a nobody.
00:38:35I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:41Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:43He was her father.
00:38:45This whole time, she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:48She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:53How could I be so blind?
00:39:02How could I be so blind?
00:39:02What suits 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...
00:39:20I just...
00:39:24I just...
00:39:25I still miss you.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancƩ's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:45But, I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:49If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:51Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:52Why you want me back?
00:39:53After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:03If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:07I mean, you gotta understand, I, 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.
00:40:19You have to believe me, please.
00:40:20I was just trying to...
00:40:23Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing.
00:40:25I guess, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just...
00:40:28Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:33Oh, Tank your career.
00:40:35I made his career.
00:40:38I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:41You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:46Wait.
00:40:50This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:54Why you left me for dead.
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad, threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:06No, no, please.
00:41:07No, no, no.
00:41:08Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:20Read 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.
00:41:40You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:46not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:49Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:51None of this.
00:41:52I don't care about that.
00:41:53I've always loved you.
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:57She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:03She can produce new songs.
00:42:06She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Read Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:11She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:14Okay, mom, mom, stop.
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
00:42:47I thought you'd stay the same
00:42:51All of those years
00:42:54I'm still missing you
00:43:13I'm still
00:43:15I'm still
00:43:17I'm still
00:43:19I'm still
00:43:34I'm still
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:49You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:55Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:56I never gave up on us.
00:43:58She's got another truth.
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:10Fine.
00:44:12Let's not talk.
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:35Not anymore.
00:44:37I'm your former boss now.
00:44:39In 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 too.
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten.
00:44:57What we had.
00:44:59I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:08But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:17I 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.
00:45:21If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:31We can tease each other all day.
00:45:35Until you finally admit that 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, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me.
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you.
00:46:15I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:17Hello?
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:22Hold on.
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months.
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:28A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:31I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes size hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:35It's not safe.
00:46:36Casey, you don't need him.
00:46:38No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:40I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:44Casey.
00:46:45Casey.
00:46:46Casey!
00:46:48Daisy has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:51And then I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:06Perfect timing.
00:47:07Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice.
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:14I've made an exception for you.
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:19I don't know what that means.
00:47:22But, you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online.
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:28Well, I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:33Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:36So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:39Of course.
00:47:41But, you're not in a hurry.
00:47:45Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:07I do love straight vodka.
00:48:14But, you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:26My hair.
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think you can drug me?
00:48:31And then, what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:34Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:37Not so fast.
00:48:39You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely.
00:48:46And a fraud.
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me.
00:48:58Not when I can read records.
00:49:00Or 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 tell Sasha.
00:49:28Hey!
00:49:29You can't hand it off.
00:49:32I'm going to break your fucking hand.
00:49:34Mr. Hayes.
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.
00:49:49You'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?
00:50:09The name is Casey Reed.
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, Sasha 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 the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:22And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:27You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:33Won't your fiancƩ be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:42I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:47You don't fight him with me.
00:51:49And now 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.
00:52:19You 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.
00:53:04News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:09No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near him.
00:53:11His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:13Good.
00:53:14Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:18I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:25I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:27Now, that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:29Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:36There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:38All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:42He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:44Cancelled.
00:53:44Who took him down?
00:53:46Dexter 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.
00:54:00Dex 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 as 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.
00:55:49Mrs. 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' fiancƩ and creative collaborator.
00:57:12And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:15Yeah, you're right.
00:57:18In that case, you should have this.
00:57:28No!
00:57:32Oh, my God!
00:57:39Oops.
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:42My bad.
00:57:45Are you insane?
00:57:46You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar.
00:57:50Security!
00:57:51Take this woman away!
00:57:53Hold on just one second.
00:57:55Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh, my God.
00:57:59I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:01You need to set that up for me?
00:58:02Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:04Okay.
00:58:07Just kidding.
00:58:09It's all yours now.
00:58:12Oh!
00:58:19Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:23We'll find a better option.
00:58:26Mmm.
00:58:27Mmm.
00:58:30Like this one.
00:58:32Beyonce used this on her last album.
00:58:34This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:40Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:41Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:46In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:56No, 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 could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:06but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking on the stage.
00:59:13How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:22That's enough.
00:59:25Hi, Jetsy.
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dixter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:35You need to do something.
00:59:36Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:40about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:44is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dixter.
00:59:48The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:53You know what?
00:59:54Actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:56I should show respect to the one person
00:59:59who's always been there for me.
01:00:03Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:05I knew you would support me.
01:00:07Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:10You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:12how much it costs,
01:00:13and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:16Miss Reed,
01:00:18as the new owner of the store,
01:00:19how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:22Wait, what?
01:00:22I was...
01:00:26I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:30Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:34You did this for me?
01:00:36You really think I need a music store?
01:00:39Well, as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:41you probably don't know.
01:00:42But I'm someone who cares about you a lot,
01:00:45why the hell not?
01:00:47Dixter!
01:00:48Are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even a real musician,
01:00:52and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:59Oh, it's...
01:01:00It's okay.
01:01:01Scarlet could have it for free,
01:01:02as long as she shows us the big hit
01:01:04that she's working on.
01:01:08Casey,
01:01:09I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:11And besides,
01:01:12we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:14I 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
01:01:25with no talent to back it up.
01:01:27Thanks, Mom.
01:01:32Hi.
01:01:34One,
01:01:34I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:37It's Miss Reed,
01:01:38and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:40Two,
01:01:41my birthday was months ago.
01:01:43Actually,
01:01:44the night that you proposed to Scarlet,
01:01:46so your gift means nothing.
01:01:50Did you know
01:01:51I was actually gonna tell you
01:01:52my 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
01:02:07every single day
01:02:08of 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
01:02:28to anything she just said.
01:02:29Yeah?
01:02:29I want you to get
01:02:30the best equipment
01:02:30and the best instruments
01:02:31to her collection.
01:02:33Yes, sir?
01:02:45Dexter, you can't do this.
01:02:47I love you.
01:03:00Mr. Hayes,
01:03:01Ms. Hart,
01:03:02you're on M5.
01:03:03The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:07Did you hear that?
01:03:08Millions of fans
01:03:09are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:11It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:13The world needs
01:03:14to hear your talent.
01:03:16I can't believe
01:03:17I'm about to perform
01:03:18on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:21All right, guys.
01:03:22It's time.
01:03:22Let's go.
01:03:23No.
01:03:24Scarlet!
01:03:38You can't start the show
01:03:40without me.
01:03:44I knew you'd make it.
01:03:45Of course she did.
01:03:47Her daddy probably got her a ticket
01:03:48after she cried
01:03:49about being left out.
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:52You know,
01:03:52I'm actually surprised
01:03:53you showed up.
01:03:54I thought it would be
01:03:55too painful for you
01:03:56to witness people
01:03:57with actual talent
01:03:58perform when
01:03:59you yourself have none.
01:04:01Mmm.
01:04:02I'm getting
01:04:03a lecture about talent
01:04:05from you.
01:04:06Oh.
01:04:07Guess we'll see
01:04:07who's real
01:04:08and who's fake tonight.
01:04:10Wreck-a-lake, Scarlet.
01:04:12Or should I say
01:04:13Echo.
01:04:15Don't choke.
01:04:18Hope you don't choke.
01:04:40The playback's down.
01:04:41The track's gone.
01:04:43Completely white.
01:04:44You have another version
01:04:45of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make
01:04:51that version.
01:04:52I had to pay Taylor Swift's
01:04:53producer to send me
01:04:54one of her reject tracks.
01:04:55Go fix this.
01:04:56Now.
01:04:59This is bad.
01:05:00All right.
01:05:01Everyone's just out there
01:05:01staring at us.
01:05:03We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:04and the label's
01:05:05gonna drop us.
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:08I have an idea.
01:05:10You're Echo, right?
01:05:22Yes.
01:05:24It's true.
01:05:25I'm Echo.
01:05:26The award-winning producer
01:05:28and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:29long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:31Then prove it.
01:05:33Go ahead.
01:05:34Why don't you mix us
01:05:36a live track
01:05:36right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on.
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean,
01:05:41this is your chance
01:05:42to show off your talents.
01:05:44I mean,
01:05:44the whole world is watching.
01:05:46I don't know
01:05:47what any of these buttons
01:05:48even do.
01:05:49This bitch
01:05:49is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:51I must have another file
01:05:52I can play.
01:05:53I'll just make it look
01:05:54like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:57Of course.
01:05:58Watch me work my magic.
01:06:17And that's how it's done.
01:06:19Show must go on.
01:06:21Nice try.
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:24You can stop
01:06:25with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:28Okay,
01:06:28can you boost the treble
01:06:29on the EQ in the middle
01:06:30and can you hand
01:06:31from stage left
01:06:33to stage right
01:06:33real quick?
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:43Damn,
01:06:44I guess you're gonna have
01:06:45to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:46That means
01:06:46recording the instruments
01:06:48live, looping the...
01:06:49Don't listen to her!
01:06:50She doesn't know
01:06:51what it takes
01:06:52to make a track
01:06:52of my caliber.
01:06:54And this isn't
01:06:55the first time
01:06:55one of Dexter's tracks
01:06:56have been corrupted.
01:06:58If I didn't know
01:06:59any better,
01:06:59I'd think you were
01:07:00trying to sabotage her.
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:07:03why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real.
01:07:05Okay, here,
01:07:05here, Echo.
01:07:07Okay, so
01:07:08just fix the track.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11Come on, Echo.
01:07:13What,
01:07:13you 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
01:07:29other than this shoddy
01:07:30Reed Records
01:07:31music equipment
01:07:32to work with.
01:07:33Casey,
01:07:34if you're such a genius,
01:07:34why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh,
01:07:37I actually would,
01:07:38gladly,
01:07:38but it's actually
01:07:39your big night,
01:07:40so why don't you
01:07:41show everyone
01:07:42the brilliant Echo
01:07:43and how you made
01:07:43Dexter Hayes a superstar.
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Echo!
01:07:48Echo!
01:07:50Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo,
01:07:53okay?
01:07:53Record some
01:07:54many instruments,
01:07:55lay them down,
01:07:56make a track.
01:07:56It's that simple.
01:07:57You know how to do this.
01:07:58You really think
01:08:00your fiancƩ
01:08:00is going to be able
01:08:01to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean,
01:08:03if she goes down,
01:08:04you go down with her.
01:08:07Casey shouldn't
01:08:07even be here.
01:08:09I can't let her
01:08:09expose me.
01:08:10Not when I'm so close
01:08:11to marrying Dexter
01:08:12and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius
01:08:39to make that racket
01:08:40sound like music.
01:09:01Oh my God,
01:09:03is Scarlet Heart
01:09:04tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on, Echo.
01:09:07Show them your talent.
01:09:08Keep 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
01:09:20give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it
01:09:23all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am.
01:09:26That whole career
01:09:27that I fought for
01:09:28for however,
01:09:29how many years?
01:09:29Yeah.
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to
01:09:37once told me
01:09:38that there's a lot more
01:09:39to life than just your career.
01:09:41And who knows,
01:09:42maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:44as a personal assistant
01:09:45for the new CEO
01:09:46of Reed Records.
01:09:49Dexter,
01:09:50stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:52Your entire life's work
01:09:54is on the line.
01:09:55Mom,
01:09:57you heard the track, okay?
01:09:58There's no saving this song.
01:09:59Now it's over.
01:10:01It's over.
01:10:15Well,
01:10:16I guess it's time
01:10:17for the next act
01:10:18of this show.
01:10:20No, no.
01:10:21There's no,
01:10:22there's no other,
01:10:23everybody, hey!
01:10:24It's time to let
01:10:25a real musician
01:10:26take the stage.
01:10:34What the hell
01:10:35do you think you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:41I mean,
01:10:42you can stay
01:10:43unless you want to go down
01:10:44as the worst performer
01:10:45in UMA history.
01:10:47If I couldn't mix
01:10:48a whole live track,
01:10:49what makes you think
01:10:49you could?
01:10:50For one,
01:10:51I know what I'm doing.
01:10:53And if you don't,
01:10:55will you step down
01:10:56as Reed Records CEO
01:10:57if you fail?
01:10:59Happily.
01:11:00Hmm.
01:11:04Everyone,
01:11:05we're about to watch
01:11:05the Reed Records CEO
01:11:07dig her own grave.
01:11:08It seems like Echo
01:11:09is having technical difficulties
01:11:11with her track.
01:11:12Since we're live,
01:11:13let's make something new.
01:11:15Dexter,
01:11:16sing me the first line
01:11:16of your song,
01:11:17just your voice.
01:11:19I know.
01:11:20I know.
01:11:22I know.
01:11:27I am not
01:11:29the kind
01:11:30for a show.
01:11:34This is not
01:11:36a one-time thing.
01:11:38Lights are low,
01:11:40but I still will.
01:11:41this morning's got
01:11:45a stage.
01:11:47Good.
01:11:50Now let's make a hit.
01:11:59Let's fucking go!
01:12:16Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean,
01:12:20you produced this, right?
01:12:21So do you want to go ahead
01:12:22and take over?
01:12:23I can't.
01:12:24I don't have much.
01:12:25You don't need anything
01:12:27except for a band
01:12:28and raw talent.
01:12:29I mean,
01:12:30you are a musician, right?
01:12:35Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:36a musical genius?
01:12:38That sound,
01:12:39it's familiar.
01:12:41I'm not the kind
01:12:42for sure.
01:12:45This is not
01:12:47a one-time thing.
01:12:49Stop!
01:12:49Stop it!
01:12:50Stop it!
01:12:52Stop it!
01:12:54Stop it!
01:12:55Stop it!
01:13:04You're Echo.
01:13:05Does this mean
01:13:06Casey Reed
01:13:08is Echo?
01:13:09This is my song!
01:13:11She just ripped it off!
01:13:12Who's stealing now,
01:13:13Scarlet?
01:13:14Don't listen to her!
01:13:17I'm Echo!
01:13:20I didn't even
01:13:21make that version.
01:13:22I had to pay
01:13:23Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:24to send me one of her
01:13:24reject tracks.
01:13:25Go fix this.
01:13:30Now everyone
01:13:30knows the truth.
01:13:36She's the one
01:13:36that saved the song.
01:13:38No, that was me!
01:13:39I already did
01:13:40all the work.
01:13:41She's just
01:13:41taking the credit.
01:13:42I had to mix
01:13:43the track live,
01:13:45Dexter,
01:13:45so that makes it
01:13:46my intellectual property.
01:13:48You're welcome
01:13:49to put it
01:13:49on your next album,
01:13:50but you're gonna
01:13:51have to pay me for it.
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think
01:13:54you could afford
01:13:55my fee.
01:13:56I think you might
01:13:57just be surprised.
01:13:59$200 million.
01:14:01$200 million?
01:14:03For one song?
01:14:04That's more than
01:14:05our entire album deal.
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:08And I want
01:14:09my name to be credited.
01:14:12Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:14And one last thing.
01:14:16I want a public
01:14:18apology from
01:14:19Scarlet Hart
01:14:20and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:21That's ridiculous!
01:14:22Why should we
01:14:23apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean,
01:14:25you don't have to.
01:14:26I could just go ahead
01:14:27and leave,
01:14:27and then Scarlet
01:14:28could finish the album,
01:14:29and Dexter's career
01:14:30could crash and burn.
01:14:31So,
01:14:32what will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking.
01:14:42I 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
01:14:56apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything!
01:15:00Come on,
01:15:00let's hear it.
01:15:01Tell the world the truth,
01:15:02Scarlet.
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo,
01:15:06I pretended,
01:15:07and I never wrote
01:15:07or produced
01:15:08any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:09They are happy!
01:15:12They are happy!
01:15:15Wait,
01:15:16that's not
01:15:17what I really meant!
01:15:19Dexter,
01:15:20she manipulated me!
01:15:22You're still my fiancƩ!
01:15:23Scarlet,
01:15:24you are exactly
01:15:25what we all see.
01:15:26You're a damn liar!
01:15:30Casey!
01:15:31is the one
01:15:31who built my career.
01:15:33Hell,
01:15:33she's the one
01:15:33who saved the damn song!
01:15:36She's the only one
01:15:37who ever cared about me
01:15:38or loved me.
01:15:41Our engagement
01:15:42is off
01:15:43and so is the record.
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:08The album
01:16:09terminating your contract
01:16:11and blacklisting you
01:16:12from the industry.
01:16:13Career's over.
01:16:19You got yourself
01:16:20a DL case.
01:16:34If we're not here for long,
01:16:40tell me where would we belong?
01:16:45My back is pressed against the wall
01:16:51I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:03It's burning for my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:11And who am I to live like?
01:17:19This mirror shows a thousand phases
01:17:22But you're not all thinking about
01:17:42And who am I to live like?
01:17:46And who am I to live like?
01:18:04And who am I to live like?
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!
01:19:13No!
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
01:20:00I 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
01:20:13A love like that burns bright
01:20:14But it doesn't last forever
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you
01:20:21Hmm?
01:20:23Maybe 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 is 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, I'm hopefully
01:21:17He'll recover
01:21:18But for now
01:21:19All he need is rest
01:21:21That's it
01:21:22Okay
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
01:22:06Casey, I
01:22:11I 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
01:22:22And
01:22:25I will be forever grateful
01:22:30And in return
01:22:31I'll give you your song for free
01:22:32And we can go our separate ways
01:22:35We can end on a high note
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
01:23:09When 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
01:23:18Okay
01:23:18I 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
01:23:45Me 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 the Wild Lights
01:24:10The Wild Lights 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 I 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, Casey
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs
01:24:30Okay
01:24:30I know
01:24:32But
01:24:32None 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
01:24:55Without 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 cry 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
01:25:44Who 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
01:26:18So, I hope you enjoy
01:26:19Every time I remember 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
01:26:47And you're all
01:26:49Through
01:26:51Was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreating
01:26:56Every time I
01:26:59Look at the moon
01:27:01I dream of the night
01:27:03It's lost forever
01:27:06Soon you'll see
01:27:09That it's time for you and me
01:27:15Cause the band is so far
01:27:19We just let on
01:27:24Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
01:27:31Just let on
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
