Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have. Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We 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. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:11feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:53I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:00I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:08Oh no, four, four!
00:03:09I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:14And he shall poison his face.
00:03:18Woo!
00:03:19Woo!
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:44but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart, Dexter Hayes groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dex's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:49I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:00In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:12But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh my god. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:45Is Casey Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dex's concert.
00:05:59Play the song! Play the song!
00:06:01God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter. I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:15What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:25Are you her? Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions. Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex. The next, your next big single is coming to you in three...
00:07:40...two...
00:07:41...one.
00:08:08...one thing to remember you by...
00:08:11...
00:08:12...the time I looked into your eye...
00:08:15...the secret feeling began...
00:08:17...knowing I...
00:08:19...was running out of time.
00:08:26...the time I'm ready for you.
00:08:28No, no!
00:08:37No, no, no!
00:08:43No, no, no!
00:08:44No!
00:08:49No, no, no!
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 to announce our relationship.
00:09:36I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:50Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god, Dexie!
00:10:04Yes!
00:10:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:25It was all a lie.
00:10:28All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:35heart.
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:04Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Oh my god, Casey, you 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.
00:11:19Oh.
00:11:19Okay?
00:11:20I owe her, all right?
00:11:21I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry 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.
00:11:37What 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, and I feel like this is
00:11:59a good start.
00:12:02How could you believe her lies?
00:12:04Come 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 to boost your sales?
00:12:21He could have had that with me.
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:34What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook, full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple 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.
00:12:54And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Keep it back.
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't...
00:13:04I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexter, baby, I know all 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?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:37Casey.
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:45So please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:48Okay, right now.
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:57Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.

00:14:23Forever.

00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything.
00:15:03I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.

00:23:38Scarlet
00:23:39mm-hmm
00:23:40James Hayes. You should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, 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.
00:24:05I thought Casey loved me, but the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:32announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records and 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
00:24:58My back is pressed
00:25:06No, no!
00:25:09Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys, we 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.
00:25:27You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:35Are you really Echo?
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:45Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:49Um, it's just, your new assistant.
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, I just-
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:19You'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.
00:27:50Dexter.
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.
00:28:04I 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, and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:18He 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?
00:28:42Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:45Or 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?
00:29:11We'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?
00:29:21I 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?
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She 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!
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:26Hey, Dex.
00:30:27Long time no see.
00:30:31Dex 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.
00:30:56But instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so 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, and 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 if 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, but this party is for the
00:31:39elite 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?
00:31:52So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so 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.
00:32:11You jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant, playing 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 desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:08Careful.
00:33:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:12Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:21-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:32hard, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed, uh, hi, uh, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite, um, uh, you've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:01daughter and the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your 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, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the, the new CEO, I, well, that would make
00:34:33me forever, 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, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, Casey, I've, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well,
00:35:03I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again, but after what
00:35:13he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:29Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:43night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:45Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:57Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:05later?
00:36:06Oh, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:33But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:42Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through 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 going to call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:03He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:11The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess.
00:37:17And the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:25What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
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.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face.
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Ugh.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad.
00:38:20This 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.
00:38:31I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but 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.
00:38:41This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:58What suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:20I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:30Ah.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiancƩ'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, I promise...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand, I, you'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 after 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.
00:40:16I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:21Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just, is 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, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:46This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad.
00:40:57Threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:03No, no, please.
00:41:04Oh, no, no, actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:10Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:17Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God.
00:41:37You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:43not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:48None of this.
00:41:49I don't care about that.
00:41:49I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:00She can produce his songs.
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:06Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, Mom, Mom, stop.
00:42:13You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:38I'm done talking about this.
00:42:53I'm done talking about this.
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.
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:55She's got to know the 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 fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied.
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:29Not anymore.
00:44:30I'm your former boss now.
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:39I don't give a fuck about 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 what we had.
00:44:53I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
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.
00:45:15If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day.
00:45:28Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:45:57You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument, the way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months, the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million streams.
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Haye-sized hole to fill and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:30You 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, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey.
00:46:39Casey!
00:46:42Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:46:54Oh.
00:46:56Oh.
00:46:59Perfect timing.
00:47:01Make 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, but you 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, hired to be blown away.
00:47:27Actually, I 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, you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka.
00:48:08But, you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:18Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:20My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:31Not so fast.
00:48:33You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:40Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:50I won't need a label to sign me.
00:48:52Not when I can read records for myself.
00:48:57Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:00The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos all 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.
00:49:13Just 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 me!
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands!
00:49:29Mr. Hayes!
00:49:29Huh?
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine.
00:49:37What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that.
00:49:41I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:43You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on, okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:53Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:49:57You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03The name is K.C. Wynn.
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:11Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:14I'm not sure of that.
00:50:16Let's go.
00:50:24Let's go.
00:50:28Give me your hand.
00:50:36K.C., I've been telling you for months.
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:39My business is none of your concern.
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:45Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you.
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore!
00:50:54So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:50:59So 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 too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:27Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:41You don't fucking listen.
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:10I should push him away, but 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 to walk away.
00:52:54Great timing.
00:52:56As always.
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:58I've done what you asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:03No label, studio or brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:07Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music.
00:53:12I'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.
00:53:24Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but 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.
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry 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 or 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.
00:54:08The world-famous music producer, Echo, is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:16night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:28Much 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, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:39producer.
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:54:43I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:54They'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, oh, 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 for the queen that she is.
00:55:34You're the best, Dad.
00:55:48You're the best, Dad.
00:55:49Mrs. Hayes! It's so good to see you again.
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged.
00:55:57Yes, my future daughter-in-law is 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.
00:56:09She'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.
00:56:31It'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, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee and creative collaborator.
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:11Yeah.
00:57:12You're right.
00:57:14In that case.
00:57:15You should have this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:27Oh my God!
00:57:34Oops.
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:37My bad.
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You 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.
00:57:54Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:56You think you set 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, ignore 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, the genius producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:37Actually, actually, this 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, my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look, we 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, you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:21Hi, Dexie.
00:59:22Hi, Dexie.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:32Mom, do 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 is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:44The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:48You know, actually, I'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 Ms. 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,
01:00:08and I'll pay it, whatever it is, right here and now.
01:00:12Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store,
01:00:15how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:16Wait, what?
01:00:21I'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?
01:00:31You really think I need a music store?
01:00:34Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:37But from someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter! Are you insane?
01:00:45She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay. Scarlet 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.
01:01:16Casey 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 Scarlet, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:45Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you talking about? What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No.
01:02:02That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:08But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:29Yes, sir.
01:02:31Oh, one more thing.
01:02:34She's fired.
01:02:36Yes, sir.
01:02:39But, Dexter, you can't do this. I love you!
01:02:55Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on M5. The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that? Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve. The 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. Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:34You can't start the show without me.
01:03:40I knew you'd make it.
01:03:41I knew you'd make it.
01:03:41Of course she did. Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:46Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up. I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people
01:03:52with actual talent perform when you yourself have none.
01:03:57Mmm. I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh. Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wreck-a-leg, Scarlet. Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:11Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35The playback's down. The track's gone. Completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:45I 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. Now.
01:04:55This is bad. All right. Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58We're gonna ruin the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea.
01:05:06You're... Echo. Right?
01:05:18Yes. It's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo.
01:05:22The award-winning producer and 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. You'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.
01:05:44This 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.
01:06:15Show must 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?
01:06:26And 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!
01:06:46She 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, I'd think you were trying to sabotage me-
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!
01:07:19You are our only hope now!
01:07:22You have to fix this!
01:07:23I could!
01:07:24If I had something other than this shoddy-breed-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.
01:07:34But, it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:36Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hazel?
01:07:40He's a superstar!
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:42Echo!
01:07:43Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Just, your Echo, okay?
01:07:49Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple.
01:07:53You know how to do this.
01:07:55You really think your fiancƩ is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here!
01:08:05I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:11Beep.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:57Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going.
01:09:05Get off the stage!
01:09:06You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11All right, look.
01:09:14It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily Dex?
01:09:18You're going to 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?
01:09:31Someone 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
01:09:42Read Records.
01:09:45Dexter!
01:09:46Stop it with those awful jokes!
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line!
01:09:51Mom!
01:09:52You heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving this song.
01:09:56Now it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:16No!
01:10:17No!
01:10:18No!
01:10:18There's no...
01:10:18There's...
01:10:19There's no other...
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!
01:10:33Stop!
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.
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:51Will 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.
01:11:11Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:17Right now.
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:30This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:35Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:44Good.
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?
01:12:19I-I-I can't, I don't have much.
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 sounds, it's familiar.
01:12:36You are not the kind for a show.
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop! Stop it!
01:12:46That sounds-
01:12:47That sounds...
01:12:55I don't know.
01:12:57That sounds good.
01:12:58I don't know.
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song.
01:13:07She just ripped it off.
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
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.
01:13:32She'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?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I 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 could crash and
01:14:27burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:38I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything!
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:58Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlett?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo.
01:15:02I 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?
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo.
01:15:35I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:38They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:45Wait, that's not what I really meant.
01:15:49Dexter, she manipulated me.
01:15:51You're still my fiance.
01:15:52You believe me?
01:15:53Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:55You fucking thought, and you're a damn liar.
01:15:59Casey 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, terminating your contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:42Tour is over.
01:16:49Got yourself a deal case.
01:17:03If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:14My back is fast against the wall
01:17:20I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:32It's burning for my chains
01:17:37Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:52But you're not all thinking blind
01:18:30Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:41Who are you to tell me why?
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:53Are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:58And my work speaks for itself
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry
01:19:02And we can't wait to see what you do next Echo
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore
01:19:11You ruined everything
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine
01:19:17I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world
01:19:29But you have to get in my way
01:19:34That won't happen again
01:19:36Kersi!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38No!
01:19:42No!
01:19:47No!
01:19:48No!
01:19:49No!
01:19:50Dex, Dex, stay with me
01:19:51Oh, my God
01:19:57Hey, hey, hey
01:19:59You've been here all night
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but
01:20:08As soon as I thank him, we can move on
01:20:11You know, if you say so
01:20:12But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:20:14Why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before
01:20:22Casey
01:20:24Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him
01:20:29I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together
01:20:35They made millions believe in love
01:20:38Your love
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:41I mean
01:20:42A love like that burns bright
01:20:43But it doesn't last forever
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you
01:20:50Hmm?
01:20:52Maybe your love story isn't over
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives
01:20:55Want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:58And sign him to the label again
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping
01:21:09But 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
01:21:37One centimeter to the right
01:21:38He could have punctured his lung
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore
01:21:43His life might as well be over
01:21:44Oh, I'm hopefully
01:21:46He'll recover
01:21:47But for now
01:21:48All he need is rest
01:21:51That's it
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this
01:22:08I will never forgive you
01:22:11Never
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
01:22:40I miss you
01:22:42I miss him too
01:22:43But everything
01:22:45We've put each other through
01:22:46Can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life
01:22:51And
01:22:54I will be forever grateful
01:22:59And in return
01:23:00I'll give you your song for free
01:23:01And we can go our separate ways
01:23:04We can end on a high note
01:23:05No
01:23:06No
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
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
01:23:43They forced you to choose her
01:23:45I was trying to save your life
01:23:47Okay
01:23:47I would never
01:23:49Ever
01:23:49Ever 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
01:23:55And I knew that I would
01:23:56Lose you
01:23:57And I
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that
01:24:00Than losing your life forever
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter
01:24:09I meant it
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else
01:24:13Me neither
01:24:18You're my little muse
01:24:22My pop star
01:24:27Which
01:24:29Reminds me
01:24:32Reed Records
01:24:33Would like to formally
01:24:35Invite you to headline the wild life list
01:24:39The wild life festival is the biggest music stage
01:24:42In the world
01:24:43You saved their CEO
01:24:44You deserve it
01:24:45You'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
01:24:51If I don't have you
01:24:52You
01:24:54You're my world, Casey
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay
01:24:59I 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
01:25:06Or what you have
01:25:07Or any of that stuff
01:25:09I don't even want to sing
01:25:10Or have this career
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second
01:25:12If it meant just being with you
01:25:14That's all I need
01:25:17We do it together
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes
01:25:25Okay
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 cry I've ever seen in my life
01:25:55Maybe 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
01:26:14But more importantly
01:26:15She is undoubtedly the love of my life
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy
01:26:22I love you too
