Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:24Echo, 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,
00:00:34the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:08I have no idea what you do to me, K.
00:01:10So you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:14I don't know.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little man.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:44And I'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.
00:01:55I'm just kidding.

00:08:15The secret feeling I gave
00:08:17I know I was when I died
00:08:55I know I was when I died
00:09:04I know I was when I died
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:34To announce our relationship
00:09:37I loved her
00:09:38And she betrayed me
00:09:50Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god!
00:10:03Dexie!
00:10:04Yes!
00:10:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me
00:10:13Trusted me
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:18But she made my career
00:10:20And Casey betrayed me
00:10:25It was all a lie
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:54You promised me
00:10:58That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:00But instead
00:11:02You'd propose
00:11:03And put a ring
00:11:04On Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you
00:11:08You gave me no choice
00:11:10I gave you everything
00:11:14I loved you
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her
00:11:19Okay?
00:11:20I owe her
00:11:21Alright?
00:11:21I don't
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless
00:11:26Industry plan
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career
00:11:32She made me who I am today
00:11:34Okay?
00:11:35So, so, so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans?
00:12:20To boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty
00:12:32Just
00:12:34Your music
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This
00:12:41Is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:46For Dexter's first single platinum album
00:12:48That's my notebook
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius
00:12:55And you're just
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:58Give it back
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:02See what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't
00:13:04I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexy, baby
00:13:08I know
00:13:09All about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car
00:13:32Please
00:13:37But Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:46So please just
00:13:47Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:54Please
00:13:58Please
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway
00:14:16We're over
00:14:19Dex
00:14:22Goodbye
00:14:23Forever
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:14:59Dad
00:15:01I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career, but
00:15:05He doesn't want me
00:15:07He never did
00:15:08What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:13And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:21Tracy
00:15:22Tracy, where are you?
00:15:32Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go.
00:15:43Don't worry, Scarlet. We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your friends, too.
00:15:48We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:51We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:59You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him. We were in love.
00:16:06Or I thought we were.
00:16:09We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room. Come alone.
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left the concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:50Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:58Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:08You fucked him too?
00:17:10God.
00:17:11Our precious Dexter.
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:19You don't deserve to live.
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:24So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:28That's not true.
00:17:30First you steal my identity.
00:17:32Now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:34You're psychotic.
00:17:35No, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:37If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you.
00:17:40And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Macy!
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:00Macy!
00:18:01Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:04Dexter, help me!
00:18:05They hit me, and then they tied me up, and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:10Okay guys, let's...
00:18:12Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We...we can't do that, Dexter!
00:18:17We're your biggest fans!
00:18:19We're doing this for you!
00:18:21Okay, well if you love me...
00:18:23Alright?
00:18:24You'll put the gun down, and then let these two go.
00:18:26Please.
00:18:27No, that's not how this works!
00:18:29Dexie!
00:18:30You would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:33We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me...
00:18:42Do they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one, to live!
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they'd both die.
00:18:59I can save Casey, but I...I have to break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him, for half a decade!
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice!
00:19:24Choose now, or they both die!
00:19:26Dexter!
00:19:27Dexter, please!
00:19:29Think of everything I've done for you!
00:19:31You dumped her!
00:19:32You chose me!
00:19:33Don't let them murder me!
00:19:35That's enough!
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in 3...
00:19:402...
00:19:411...
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay!
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, alright?
00:19:47I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter!
00:19:53I'm gonna faint!
00:19:54He was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute.
00:20:02You told me that...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:09And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:19I guess...
00:20:20This is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:45Let's go!
00:20:46Let's go!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:48Okay!
00:20:48Okay!
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:57Okay?!
00:20:57You left me to die!
00:21:00And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:03I was right to walk away!
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:09Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:11They were gonna make me...
00:21:12I'm...
00:21:13Done!
00:21:14Living in your shadow, Dex!
00:21:17Goodbye!
00:21:22C-Casey, Casey!
00:21:24Hey!
00:21:32Casey!
00:21:33Casey, stop!
00:21:34Please, stop!
00:21:35Please, please!
00:21:35We're gonna go...
00:21:37Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:21:45You're delusional!
00:21:46He doesn't need you, he has Echo!
00:21:49Yeah...
00:21:50Sure he does!
00:21:52Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes!
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:02Okay...
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time!
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:18No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:45Oh my god, that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:47Oh my god, that's... that's... that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:48It's...
00:22:51So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:07No...
00:23:08I'm trying to...
00:23:09I'm trying to...
00:23:10No!
00:23:10I'm trying to...
00:23:12I'm trying to...
00:23:14You have everything you want...
00:23:17I'm trying to...
00:23:19No!
00:23:19I'm trying to...
00:23:20No!
00:23:20No!
00:23:21In short, you are in it!
00:23:22No!
00:23:23We have ATP!
00:23:23No!
00:23:28K-Shay!
00:23:29You have to steal!
00:23:30You have everything!
00:23:31K-Shay!
00:23:32K-Shay!
00:23:33K-Shay!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:40You should have seen it.
00:23:42I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:48I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:59Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Kasey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18Forget him, princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:36Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:06No, no!
00:25:09Okay.
00:25:10Guys.
00:25:11Cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys.
00:25:18We have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat?
00:25:30Or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:35Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:45Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant.
00:25:53No.
00:25:53He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screamed over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:27Let's do it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:13So why can't I do the same?
00:27:32Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:51Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:02Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go.
00:28:17You have to impress him, okay?
00:28:19He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:37Her coarse, tangled hair, or her dull, crusty skin, or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:12We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look! Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:30:14No fucking way!
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:26Hey, Dex.
00:30:27Long time no see.
00:30:32Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:34I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:37So why does my heart still ache?
00:30:55Ignore her
00:30:57But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed
00:30:59So he introduces us to the new CEO
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side
00:31:06And our album will go straight to number one
00:31:09She's right
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:31:13If I want our album to be a hit
00:31:31Scarlet, what a terrible surprise
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:37But this party is for the elite of the music industry only
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers
00:31:44But the party's just getting started
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement
00:31:51Why?
00:31:53So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed
00:31:59So don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight
00:32:03Leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:06I'd love to see you try
00:32:12Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him
00:32:14And those feelings don't just go away
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up
00:32:23All you want
00:32:24But you will always
00:32:26Just be Dexter's lowly
00:32:28Little errant girl
00:32:30I thought she was someone important
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant
00:32:34Playing dress up
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men
00:32:44Just like all those
00:32:46Desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:49They got that right
00:32:50Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet
00:32:56Is it really me?
00:32:58Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:05How dare you?
00:33:08Careful
00:33:08The new CEO might be watching
00:33:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo
00:33:15You may have the talent
00:33:17But you have no money
00:33:18And no connections
00:33:19Besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:22But me
00:33:23I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me
00:33:28Or my career ever again
00:33:30I will get you cancelled so fucking hard
00:33:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:37Mr. Reed
00:33:38Hi, Dexter Hayes
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:42You've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:45Well, I'd really love to put that
00:33:47Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes
00:33:53Of course I can
00:33:54Got you
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:33:58When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:02And the heiress to the Reed record's fortune
00:34:05Well, you know, sir
00:34:06Well, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are working on
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:16You're a musical genius over the last many decades
00:34:19I think we could really make something special
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much
00:34:26It actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:32Well, that would make me forever grateful
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself
00:34:38The new CEO is already here
00:34:52Casey
00:34:53Casey
00:34:54Casey
00:34:55Casey
00:34:56Casey
00:34:59I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:02And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:10For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:12But after what he did to me
00:35:14I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:16Oh
00:35:17You've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:19What?
00:35:20You missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only
00:35:30Yeah
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home
00:35:33But
00:35:34I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:35You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though
00:35:37Has been throwing around nothing but
00:35:40Vile slander
00:35:41And empty accusations all night
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her
00:35:46Unless
00:35:46You want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now
00:35:50Yeah, right
00:35:51The only ones who can remove me
00:35:53Are Mr. Reed himself
00:35:54Or the new CEO
00:35:56You have no power here
00:35:57Okay, guys
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:36:02Are about to announce our new album
00:36:03Can
00:36:04We have this conversation later
00:36:06Aw
00:36:06Dex
00:36:08You forgot to say please
00:36:13Wait, Casey
00:36:14What?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen
00:36:21It's time to announce tonight's special guest
00:36:28Reed Records
00:36:29Is the number one largest music label in the world
00:36:34But tonight
00:36:34I want to introduce you
00:36:36To someone who's more precious to me than any company
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano
00:36:41Who has written hundreds of songs
00:36:44And never put her name on one of them
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame
00:36:50Through mine
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage
00:37:02Alright, this is it
00:37:03He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records
00:37:06I want to introduce
00:37:08The heir to my billion dollar music empire
00:37:12And the new CEO of Reed Records
00:37:14My princess
00:37:16My princess
00:37:17In the light of my life
00:37:19My daughter
00:37:20Casey Reed
00:37:25What?
00:37:31No
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby
00:38:00She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty
00:38:04Scarlet Heart is delusional
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her base
00:38:09She just committed career suicide
00:38:11Mr. Reed, your gift
00:38:13For the lady of the hour
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold
00:38:19Dad, this is too much
00:38:21Well, something from your old man
00:38:23And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold
00:38:26This cannot be happening
00:38:28She's a nobody
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me
00:38:34But I didn't know she was hiding who she was
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy
00:38:39He was her father
00:38:40This whole time she was with me for love
00:38:43Not fame
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth
00:38:46And instead of trusting her
00:38:47I left her for another woman
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:58Suits you
00:39:01The guitar and CEO title
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I just
00:39:09I just
00:39:10I just
00:39:21I still miss you
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:36Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain
00:39:46Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53You're leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look
00:39:59That's not why I'm here
00:40:00If you just let me tell you
00:40:01I
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand
00:40:06You're the one who lied to me
00:40:07I lied
00:40:08Yeah
00:40:08And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet
00:40:11After promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:13I didn't want any of that to happen
00:40:15You have to believe me, please
00:40:17I was just trying to
00:40:19Look, I
00:40:21Just tell me one thing
00:40:22I guess
00:40:22Why are you here?
00:40:24Are you here just
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:27Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, tank your career
00:40:32I made his career
00:40:35I loved you
00:40:37Dexter
00:40:38You might have found out who my father is today
00:40:40But you still have no idea who I am
00:40:43Wait
00:40:47This
00:40:47This is why you proposed to Scarlet
00:40:50Isn't it?
00:40:51Why
00:40:51You left
00:40:53Me
00:40:53For dead
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad
00:40:58Threw me to the curb
00:40:59For the fame
00:41:01The fortune
00:41:02The fans
00:41:03No, no, please
00:41:04No, no, no
00:41:04Actually, I think
00:41:06It's time to make my first decision
00:41:08As the new CEO
00:41:10Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun
00:41:17Reed Records
00:41:19Will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes
00:41:22And dropping him as an artist
00:41:29Effective immediately
00:41:30Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
00:41:32You know
00:41:37I am so glad
00:41:40I never told you who I really was
00:41:42Because if I didn't
00:41:43I might not have ever found out
00:41:44That you don't really love me for me
00:41:46Casey
00:41:46None of that is true, okay
00:41:48None of this
00:41:49I don't care about that
00:41:50I've always loved you
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter
00:41:54She may be rich
00:41:55But she's just an arrogant nepo baby
00:41:57With no real talent
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo
00:42:00She can produce
00:42:02Wait, wait, Casey
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts
00:42:05With or without Reed Records
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her
00:42:08She doesn't understand you
00:42:10Like Scarlet does
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom
00:42:12Stop
00:42:13You're my mom
00:42:14Not my manager
00:42:16Alright
00:42:17I'm done talking about this
00:42:39I've known you for years
00:42:44I thought you'd say the same
00:42:48All of those years
00:42:53I've broken there and played
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:11I'm still
00:43:13And I'm still
00:43:15I'm still missing you
00:43:24I'm still missing you
00:43:43I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:52Casey's wrong about me
00:43:53I never gave up on us
00:43:55She's got another truth
00:43:57I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:07Fine
00:44:09Let's not talk
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:29Not anymore
00:44:31I'm your former boss now
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:39I don't give a fuck
00:44:41About the contract
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:45And I know that you want me too
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:51What we had
00:44:53I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:44:59You're not like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care about the fans
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:13I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:16If you tell me
00:45:17That you want to be with me
00:45:20We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other all day
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:30You
00:45:32Still
00:45:34Love me
00:45:57You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:46:00The way I let you play me
00:46:02After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:14Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:16Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes size hole to fill
00:46:28And he could be the next big thing
00:46:29It's not safe
00:46:30Casey, you don't need him
00:46:32He'll hurt you
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:35Of all people
00:46:36Get to tell me what I need
00:46:38Casey
00:46:39Casey, Casey
00:46:40Casey has every right
00:46:44To be angry with me
00:46:45After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:47She can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:08I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means
00:47:15But
00:47:16You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:20I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:24I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:27Actually
00:47:28I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know
00:47:33Of course
00:47:36But
00:47:37You're not in a hurry
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:13Love even more than that
00:48:16What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:19Asshole pervs
00:48:20My hair
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:26Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:47No matter how talented you are
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me
00:48:51Not when I can't read records
00:48:53Or myself
00:48:57Don't be shy Casey
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:01To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:04All over the tabloids
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:10Your poor father
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:18Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off
00:49:25What?
00:49:26I'm gonna break your fucking hands
00:49:29Extra Hayes
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine
00:49:37What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:39I could sue you for that
00:49:40I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:42You're just a wash up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay I'm sorry
00:49:52Jesus
00:49:53We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:49:56You kinda wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:00I mean what the fuck
00:50:03The name is Casey Wee
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry
00:50:09That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:12Your career is dead
00:50:13Sasha
00:50:14I'm not sure of that
00:50:17Let's go
00:50:25Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is a little
00:50:39My business is none of your concern
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:44What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48He could have done-
00:50:49Okay!
00:50:50I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant
00:50:54Anymore!
00:50:55So it's not your concern
00:50:56Where I am or what I am or what I'm doing
00:50:58Okay?
00:51:00So stop following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:09Stop following you
00:51:11The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:24Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiancée be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not want to marry Scarlet
00:51:42But you don't fucking let me
00:51:43And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So
00:51:58What am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:03And be the pop star's secret side piece again
00:52:10I should push him away
00:52:11But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:17And you know it
00:52:28Boss! I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter
00:52:36Please, stop following me
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder and harder
00:52:44To walk away
00:52:54Great timing
00:52:56As always
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:53:01And drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:03No label, studio, brand will go anywhere near
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:08Good
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:13I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:19I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:21Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:26But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry
00:53:35He had out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For me?
00:53:58Maybe
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:09The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:11Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:13At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:21Before it can expose her lies
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:25Sooner or later Dexter will realize
00:54:27She can't even hold a tune
00:54:29Much less produce a hit track
00:54:31Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:35Let alone marry her
00:54:37If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it
00:54:44I think it's time
00:54:45The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:03The world
00:55:04Or Dexter
00:55:08This isn't about him
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:18But if you're going to go as Echo
00:55:20Oh, you're going to do it right
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess
00:55:29For the queen that she is
00:55:34You're the best, Dad
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes
00:55:50It's so good to see you again
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged
00:55:56Yes, my future daughter-in-law
00:55:59Is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:08She's a musical genius
00:56:10We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:13Of course
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:25Please don't touch that
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Ugh, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave
00:56:42Now
00:56:47I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:56:57We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:01Excuse me?
00:57:04I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé
00:57:06And creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:10Yeah
00:57:11You're right
00:57:13In that case
00:57:15You should have this
00:57:27Oh my god
00:57:34Oops
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:38Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:45Security
00:57:46Take this woman away
00:57:48Hold on just one second
00:57:50Dexter Hayes
00:57:51Oh my god
00:57:54I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:56You need to set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:57:59Okay
00:58:02Just kidding
00:58:04It's all yours now
00:58:14Scarlett
00:58:15Ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:18We'll find a better option
00:58:25Like this one
00:58:27Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:33The genius producer
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:36Actually, actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:46I'm gonna just
00:58:49My apologies
00:58:50My apologies
00:58:50Apologies
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:53We saw it first
00:58:54Look, look
00:58:55We just want the one guitar
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:01But it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage
00:59:09How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:17That's enough
00:59:21Hi, Dexie
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter
00:59:27She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:30You need to do something
00:59:32Mom
00:59:32Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:40Is the reason you're as famous as you are Dexter
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:48You know, actually
00:59:50I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs and I'll pay it whatever it is
01:00:10right here and now
01:00:12Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:22I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant
01:00:29You did this for me?
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't at all
01:00:37But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician
01:00:48And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay, Scarlett could have it for free
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:04Casey, I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later
01:01:13You will regret this
01:01:15Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, Mom
01:01:29One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:32It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:35Two, my birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:41So, your gift means nothing
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:49What secret?
01:01:53Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:01:54What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:09But not anymore
01:02:11I don't need you
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24Yeah
01:02:25I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:27To her collection
01:02:28Yes, sir?
01:02:31Oh, and one more thing
01:02:34She's fired
01:02:37Yes, sir
01:02:38Thank you
01:02:41Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:42I love you
01:02:56Mr. Hayes
01:02:57Ms. Hart
01:02:57You're on in five
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live
01:03:00Thank you
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:04Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:17All right, guys, it's time
01:03:18Let's go
01:03:19Scarlett
01:03:34You can't start the show without me
01:03:40I knew you'd make it
01:03:41Of course she did
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlett
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:49I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:54When you yourself have none
01:03:56Mmm
01:03:58I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:01Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:05Break a leg, Scarlett
01:04:07Or should I say, Echo
01:04:11Don't choke
01:04:13Hope you don't choke
01:04:36The playback's down
01:04:37The track's gone, completely white
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:52Now
01:04:55This is bad
01:04:56All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:58We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:00And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:04I have an idea
01:05:05You're Echo
01:05:07Right?
01:05:18Yes
01:05:19It's true
01:05:20I'm Echo
01:05:22The award-winning producer
01:05:24And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:27Then prove it
01:05:29Go ahead
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:33Come on
01:05:34You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:45This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:47I must have another file I can play
01:05:49I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:52Of course
01:05:54Watch me work my magic
01:06:13And that's how it's done
01:06:15She almost go on
01:06:17Nice try
01:06:18Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:27And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping the-
01:06:45Don't listen to her
01:06:47She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:54If I didn't know any better
01:06:55I think you were trying to sabotage her
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:59Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real, okay?
01:07:01You're-
01:07:01You're Echo
01:07:02Okay
01:07:03So just fix the track
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:07Come on, Echo
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:21You have to fix this
01:07:23I could if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I- I actually would, gladly, but it's actually your big night, so
01:07:36Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay? Record some many instruments, lay them down, make a track, it's that simple, you know how
01:07:53to do this
01:07:55You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show? I mean, if she goes down,
01:08:00you go down with her
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here! I can't let her expose me, not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and
01:08:09becoming a pop legend
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going!
01:09:04Get off the stage! You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11All right, look...
01:09:14It's done
01:09:15You're really gonna give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're gonna throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:43Read Records
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes! Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:09:52Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving this song. Now it's over. It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:17No! No! There's no... There's... There's no other...
01:10:20Moose!
01:10:20Hey!
01:10:21It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, Mom, stop!
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:50And if you don't?
01:10:52Will you step down as Read Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily.
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:17Right now.
01:11:24I am not the kind for sure.
01:11:31This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:35Lights are low, but I still glow.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:47Now let's make a hit.
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right? So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I-I-I can't. I don't have but-
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:37I'm not the kind for sure.
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop! Stop it!
01:12:58You're Echo?
01:12:58Casey...
01:13:01You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song! She just ripped it off!
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:17I didn't even make that version.
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me.
01:13:36I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56$200 million.
01:13:58$200 million?
01:14:00For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:05And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:09Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:12I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous.
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album, and Dexter's career
01:14:27could crash and burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:39I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:52That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything.
01:14:57Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:58Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlett?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo.
01:15:03I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:11I was wrong about you.
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:16I'm sorry.
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:23Apologize to her.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlett?
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo.
01:15:35I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:39They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:45Wait, that's not what I really meant.
01:15:48Dexter, she manipulated me.
01:15:51You're still my fiance.
01:15:53You believe-
01:15:53Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:56You're fucking flawed, and you're a damn liar.
01:16:00Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:16:05She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off, and so is the record.
01:16:36Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:37The album terminated your contract and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:42Tour is over.
01:16:49You got yourself a DL case.
01:16:59Hit it.
01:17:04If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:14My back is past against the wall.
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:27Your name's on fire in my wings.
01:17:33It's burning for my dreams.
01:17:38Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to live a lie?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand phases.
01:17:53But you're not open can blow.
01:18:00It's mean why I'm even gravel for my dreams.
01:18:07It's burning for myself.
01:18:08I love you to know I'm not afraid of your love.
01:18:09It's burning for me.
01:18:11It's burning for you to love me.
01:18:15It's burning for you to love you to me.
01:18:16Imagine you.
01:18:16It's burning for me to know I'm not afraid.
01:18:17You're not afraid to know I'm not afraid to find sight.
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:09You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:16Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:30But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Percy!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:42No!
01:19:43No!
01:19:49Dex!
01:19:50Dex!
01:19:51Stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey. You've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:17save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:24Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28I said, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:40Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you. Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:54The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call. One centimeter to the right. He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:51That's it.
01:21:52Okay? Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:07If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:12Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21I got you, beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:36Casey, I...
01:22:41I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No!
01:23:06No!
01:23:09Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:17There.
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:44They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me?
01:24:33Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight List.
01:24:39The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:45You deserve it.
01:24:46You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:58I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:18We do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:50This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed.
01:26:13Who is my echo.
01:26:15But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:24So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:49There will be time I remember to smile.
01:26:52I imagine a world way together.
01:27:07This goes on.
01:27:11There's stuff in the stockings.
01:27:14But I am still walking around.
01:27:18Do you?
01:27:21Was the fool who I hated.
01:27:23Now I'm recreating.
01:27:26Every time I look at the moonfall.
01:27:30I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:39That it's time for you and me.
01:27:43That it's time for you and me.
01:27:44That it's time for you and me.
01:27:47It's the best so far.
01:27:49We're just a little.
01:27:51We're just a little.
01:27:54We're just a little.
01:27:55Every time I look in your eyes.
01:27:58I forget where I am.
01:28:01Just a little.
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:12Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:18I'm taking and talking, but I will be walking.
01:28:24Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:28I'm feeling, but I feel so.
01:28:32You're just a little.
01:28:33I know, yeah, yeah.
01:28:33I know that's my life.
01:28:34It's not a talent.
01:28:34I never know.
01:28:35It's my life.
01:28:37I know.
01:28:37It's my life.
01:28:39I'm just a little.
01:28:44I know.
01:28:45It's my life to sing.
01:28:45I know.
01:28:45It's my life to be.
01:28:45But it's my life to me.
01:28:47It's a little.
