Short filmTranscript
00:00:00The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:00:08No one knows I'm Echo, the world-famous music producer.
00:00:12Because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have.
00:00:15Dexter Hayes, the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:19He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:00:23Oh my god.
00:00:24Dexy!
00:00:25Yes!
00:00:26It was all a lie.
00:00:28I owe her.
00:00:29These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:00:32This is Echo's number.
00:00:33She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:00:37I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:00:40Goodbye.
00:00:41I'm Echo and I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:00:46Dexter was gonna be mine.
00:00:47I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world.
00:00:50Casey, I still miss you.
00:00:52Forget where I am.
00:00:55Just a little.
00:01:11Just a little.
00:01:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:01:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records.
00:01:21The billion-dollar music empire.
00:01:23Or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:01:27I chose to stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have.
00:01:33Dexter Hayes.
00:01:34The rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:01:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:01:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:01:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:59Dex, we're backstage.
00:02:01Someone might see us.
00:02:05I am so done hiding you.
00:02:08I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:02:10How you make me feel.
00:02:12You are my favorite song.
00:02:22I want you, Dex.
00:02:29I need you.
00:02:32Good.
00:02:35And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:02:41I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:02:44And I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:02:47I'm gonna claim every inch of you.
00:02:50Note by note.
00:02:51In front of the whole world.
00:03:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:03:12Just, what are you hiding?
00:03:15Nothing.
00:03:15It's just work stuff.
00:03:18Okay.
00:03:20It's time I come clean, too.
00:03:22Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:03:26And I can finally be the real me.
00:03:29His Echo and his Casey.
00:03:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:03:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:04:00I don't need a drink.
00:04:02I don't need a drink.
00:04:04I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:04:09Don't do that.
00:04:12I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:04:13It's not my thing.
00:04:14I need champagne, it's fake.
00:04:17I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:04:20I want you to make me your own close family.
00:04:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:04:36Wait for me, right here?
00:04:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:04:46he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:04:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:04:55Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:05:00Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:05:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:05:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:05:12I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:05:18Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:05:25Shit! The backing mix is corrupted. I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:05:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:05:39What the hell is she up to?
00:05:43Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:05:49I'll be right back.
00:05:54There. Your gear from the studio.
00:05:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:59Dad! We've talked about this.
00:06:01In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:06:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:06:07You made him the star he is.
00:06:10I'm telling him tonight, but for now, I have a track to remix.
00:06:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:06:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:06:42Oh, my God. These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:06:46Is Casey Echo?
00:06:56Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:06:59Play that song! Play that song!
00:07:02God, where's Casey? She said she'd stay right here.
00:07:04The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting.
00:07:07Can you please find her? I need her.
00:07:09No, Dexter.
00:07:11I'm the one you need.
00:07:12What?
00:07:21This is Echo's novel.
00:07:25Are you her?
00:07:27Are you her?
00:07:32Listen, can you please save this song?
00:07:35I already did.
00:07:39Wait.
00:07:41Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:07:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:07:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:07:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:08:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:08:03I would never, never do this to you.
00:08:07Thanks.
00:08:16Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:08:19Uh, and we're back.
00:08:21Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:08:26At least I thought so.
00:08:35Get ready, Dex.
00:08:37The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:08:45I'm a man as I am.
00:08:52I'm a man.
00:09:02I'm a man.
00:09:04Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you.
00:09:08One thing to remember you by, the time I looked into your eye, the secret feeling again, I know when
00:09:18I was when I died.
00:09:27Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:09:36oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:09:57Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:10:02oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:10:02oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:10:02oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:10:02oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:10:02oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:10:11How could Casey do this to me?
00:10:18Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:10:32He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:10:37I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:10:51Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:54Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:57Yes!
00:10:59Oh my god! Dexie! Yes!
00:11:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:11:11I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:11:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:11:25It was all a lie.
00:11:29Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:11:37What?
00:11:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:11:55You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:12:05Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:12:07Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:12:10I gave you everything.
00:12:14I loved you. Do you love her?
00:12:18I owe her.
00:12:19Okay? I owe her, alright? I don't...
00:12:22You owe her?
00:12:25Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant. What has she ever done for you?
00:12:30Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay? So that's why.
00:12:37What are you talking about?
00:12:41Scarlet is Echo.
00:12:43Scarlet is Echo.
00:12:48You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:12:52Well, I know she is.
00:12:54You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:59And I feel like this is a good start.
00:13:03How could you believe her lies?
00:13:05Come on, all you do is lie.
00:13:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:13:13Is this what you wanted all along? To be a music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans to
00:13:21boost your sales?
00:13:22He could have had that with me.
00:13:25This is all you ever really cared about.
00:13:29Isn't it?
00:13:31Not loyalty. Just your music.
00:13:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:13:39Hmm?
00:13:42This is my notebook, full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:13:49That's my notebook.
00:13:51How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:13:52I'm a musical genius.
00:13:55And you're just...
00:13:56Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:59Give it back!
00:14:00Dexter, she cut me!
00:14:02See, what has gotten into you?
00:14:04I don't...
00:14:05I know who you are anymore.
00:14:08Dexy, baby.
00:14:09I know all about girls like her.
00:14:12They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:14:15She's taking advantage of you.
00:14:18She has been for years.
00:14:20Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:14:23Scarlet is not Echo!
00:14:25Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:14:27Okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:14:32Go wait in the car, please.
00:14:38They're Casey.
00:14:44Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:14:46So, please just...
00:14:48Just tell me the truth.
00:14:49Okay, right now.
00:14:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:14:55Please.
00:14:59Please.
00:15:05Dex.
00:15:08The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:15:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:15:17We're over.
00:15:19Dex.
00:15:22Goodbye.
00:15:24Forever.
00:15:44The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:15:49Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:16:00Dad.
00:16:01I gave Dex everything.
00:16:04I made his career, but...
00:16:06He doesn't want me.
00:16:08He never did.
00:16:09What happened, princess?
00:16:11Scarlet Hart.
00:16:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:16:17I'll come get you.
00:16:22Casey. Casey, where are you?
00:16:33It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:16:36Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:16:41Who are you?
00:16:42Let me go.
00:16:44Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:16:45We won't hurt you.
00:16:47We're your friends too.
00:16:49We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:16:52We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:16:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:17:00You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:17:03I wasn't stealing him.
00:17:05We were in love.
00:17:07Or I thought we were.
00:17:10We'll see about that, won't we?
00:17:12The only way you'll live tonight...
00:17:15...is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:17:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:17:27Dressing room.
00:17:28Come alone.
00:17:30Choose to save Scarlet Hart and we'll spare them.
00:17:33Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:17:38You've reached Casey.
00:17:39I can't come to the phone right now.
00:17:42Where the hell is my daughter?
00:17:46Casey?
00:17:47So she never left a concert.
00:17:48Get back to the concert hall now.
00:17:51Dexter is coming.
00:17:53We'll see who his true love is.
00:17:56You psychos!
00:17:58Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancee?
00:18:03Obviously not.
00:18:05She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:18:09You fucked him too?
00:18:12Our precious Dexter.
00:18:14Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:18:17Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:18:20You don't deserve to live.
00:18:22No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:18:25So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:18:29That's not true!
00:18:31First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:18:35You're psychotic!
00:18:36No, don't worry Casey.
00:18:38If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:18:42single on our new album.
00:18:45You're crazier than they are.
00:18:47Who are you calling crazy?
00:18:53Casey!
00:18:53Dexter!
00:19:00Dexter!
00:19:01Casey!
00:19:02Dexter! Dexter!
00:19:05Dexter, help me!
00:19:06They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:19:11Okay guys, let's...
00:19:13Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:19:15We can't do that, Dexter!
00:19:18We're your biggest fans!
00:19:20We're doing this for you!
00:19:22Okay, well if you love me, alright?
00:19:25You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please!
00:19:28No, that's not how this works!
00:19:30Dexie!
00:19:31You would be nothing without Echo!
00:19:34We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:19:37Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me,
00:19:43did they mean anything?
00:19:45You must choose one to live!
00:19:48Will it be your future wife?
00:19:51Or your mistress?
00:19:53Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:57They said if I told you Scarlet, then they both die.
00:20:00I can save Casey, but I...
00:20:02I have to break her heart.
00:20:04Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:20:13You never really loved me, did you?
00:20:16And you loved him?
00:20:18You leeched off him for half a decade!
00:20:22If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice!
00:20:26Choose now or they both die!
00:20:27Dexter, Dexter, please!
00:20:30Think of everything I've done for you!
00:20:32You dumped her!
00:20:33You chose me!
00:20:35Don't let them murder me!
00:20:36That's enough!
00:20:38We're pulling the trigger in 3...
00:20:412...
00:20:421...
00:20:42Okay, okay, okay!
00:20:43I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:20:46Scarlet, alright?
00:20:48I choose Scarlet.
00:20:53Dexter, I'm gonna faint!
00:20:56I was so scared.
00:20:57He chose Scarlet?
00:20:59Good choice.
00:21:00Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:21:03Now wait a minute.
00:21:04You told me that...
00:21:04You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:07Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:21:11And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:21:14No, no, no, no, no!
00:21:21I guess...
00:21:22This is the end.
00:21:28Goodbye, Dexter.
00:21:30Put the gun down!
00:21:33Put the gun down!
00:21:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:21:36Hey, drop the gun!
00:21:47Let's go!
00:21:48Let's go!
00:21:49Let's go!
00:21:49Okay.
00:21:49Okay.
00:21:57It's gonna be okay.
00:21:58Okay?
00:21:59You left me to die!
00:22:01And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:22:04I was right to walk away!
00:22:07Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:22:10Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:22:12They were gonna make me...
00:22:13I'm... done!
00:22:16Living in your shadow, Dex!
00:22:18Goodbye!
00:22:24Casey!
00:22:25Casey!
00:22:25Casey!
00:22:26Casey!
00:22:33Casey!
00:22:34Casey!
00:22:35Casey!
00:22:36Please!
00:22:36Stop!
00:22:36Please!
00:22:37Please!
00:22:37We're gonna go...
00:22:38Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:22:40You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:22:44Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:22:46You're delusional!
00:22:48He doesn't need you, he has Echo!
00:22:51Yeah...
00:22:52Sure he does!
00:22:53Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes!
00:23:00Fame changed me?
00:23:03Okay...
00:23:03And what about you?
00:23:05You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time!
00:23:10I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:23:16You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:23:19No, Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:23:46Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:23:52So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:57You're here now, take me home.
00:24:10HEY!!
00:24:11Jackson, we take our million for you!
00:24:16I was trying to!
00:24:18I was trying to!
00:24:20I was trying to!
00:24:21I was trying to!
00:24:33KC!
00:24:34KC!
00:24:35KC!
00:24:36Let me explain!
00:24:41Scarlet.
00:24:42Mrs. Hayes.
00:24:43You should have seen it. I almost died.
00:24:45And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:24:50I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:53She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:55Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:25:01Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:25:04She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:25:05All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:25:08I thought KC loved me.
00:25:10But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:25:20Forget him, princess.
00:25:22You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:25:27How could I be so blind?
00:25:31Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:25:35announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:25:39And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:25:42It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:53My back is pressed.
00:26:01My back is pressed.
00:26:08My back is pressed.
00:26:17The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:26:20Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:26:25The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:26:29You can't even fix a simple beat?
00:26:32Or a key?
00:26:33What's going on?
00:26:35Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:26:38Are you really, Echo?
00:26:43Are you really, Echo?
00:26:49Dexy, of course I am.
00:26:52It's just, your new assistant.
00:26:55He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:57He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:27:00I mean, look.
00:27:03Last Saved by Max.
00:27:05Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:27:07Okay, you know what?
00:27:08Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:27:13Mr. Hayes.
00:27:14Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:27:15It's Dester.
00:27:16And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:27:22You're fired.
00:27:29Let's do it again.
00:27:45Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:27:49Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:28:05We're sorry.
00:28:06You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:28:11Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:28:14So, why can't I do the same?
00:28:34Look what we just got.
00:28:36An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:28:39The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:28:49Look, I'm not interested.
00:28:51Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:52Dexter.
00:28:54You said it yourself.
00:28:55They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:57We have to go.
00:28:58This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:29:03Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:29:10He's a billionaire record executive.
00:29:12I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:29:16a few extra bucks.
00:29:17You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:29:20He could make or break our careers.
00:29:24Okay, I guess you're right.
00:29:26Of course I am.
00:29:28We are the industry's it couple.
00:29:31So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:29:36I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:29:39Her coarse, tangled hair, or her dull, crusty skin, or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:53I'm Echo.
00:29:55I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:57And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:30:08How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:30:13We're honored.
00:30:14And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:30:18Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:30:23I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed orchid.
00:30:29Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:30:31I don't know. Who is this mysterious Harris?
00:30:34She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:30:36I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:30:39Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:30:41She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:30:43Look! Here she is now!
00:30:56No fucking way!
00:30:59Look good!
00:31:21Casey?
00:31:22Casey?
00:31:25Casey?
00:31:27Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:31:32Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:31:35I should be happy walking away from him.
00:31:38So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:56Ignore her, and instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:32:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:32:05All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:32:10She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:32:16hit.
00:32:33Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:32:35I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:32:38but this party is for the elite, with the music industry only.
00:32:42I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:32:45But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:52Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:33:02And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:33:07I'd love to see you try.
00:33:12Jealous?
00:33:14I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:33:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:33:21You can dress up all you want.
00:33:25But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:33:30I thought she was someone important.
00:33:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:33:36Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:33:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:33:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:33:45Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:33:49Hmm. They got that right.
00:33:51Hmm. Is that so?
00:33:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:56Is it really me?
00:33:58Who's putting on an actor?
00:34:02Is it you?
00:34:04How dare you?
00:34:07Careful.
00:34:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:34:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:34:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:34:20-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:34:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:34:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking
00:34:31hard,
00:34:32your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:34:37Mr. Reid, uh, hi, uh, Dexter Hayes.
00:34:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:34:41Um, you've always been a true hero of mine.
00:34:45Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:55Got you.
00:34:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:35:01daughter.
00:35:02Yeah, the heiress to the Reid record's fortune.
00:35:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:35:10and I are, uh, working on.
00:35:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:35:18I think we could really make something special.
00:35:21Yeah.
00:35:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:35:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:35:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:35:33make me forever, forever grateful.
00:35:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:35:38The new CEO is already here.
00:35:51Casey.
00:35:52Casey.
00:35:53Casey.
00:35:54Casey.
00:35:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:36:04instead you just showed up here.
00:36:05I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:36:11But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:36:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:36:19What, you missed me already?
00:36:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:36:24This event is invite only.
00:36:30Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:36:35You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:36:42night.
00:36:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:36:45Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:36:49Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no
00:36:56power here.
00:36:57Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:37:05later?
00:37:05Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:37:13Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:37:18Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:37:27Read Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:37:33But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:37:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:37:41Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:37:46Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:38:01Alright, this is it. He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Read Records.
00:38:05I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:38:10And the new CEO of Read Records.
00:38:13My princess.
00:38:16And the light of my life.

00:54:20now that was way too risky casey
00:54:22look i'm far from dexter's biggest fan
00:54:24but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up

01:08:54echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo echo
01:08:55echo
01:08:55her. Casey shouldn't even be here. I can't let her expose me. Not when I'm so close to
01:09:02marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:09:26Is this part of her process? It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:09:52Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf? Come on Echo. Show them your talent. Keep going.
01:09:58Get off the stage. You're ruining the UMAs.
01:10:05Alright, look. It's done.
01:10:09You're really gonna give up that easily Dex? You're gonna throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:10:15Yeah, I am. That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years? Yeah.
01:10:23Because you know what? Someone that I was close to once told me
01:10:28that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:10:31And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:10:36Read Records.
01:10:39Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes. Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:10:45Mom, you heard the track, okay? There's no saving the song. Now it's over. It's over.
01:11:06Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:11:10No! No! There's no- there's- there's no other-
01:11:14Bruce! Hey!
01:11:14It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:11:24What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:11:26Mom, Mom, stop.
01:11:29You heard of Scarlet?
01:11:31I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:11:36If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:11:40For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:11:43And if you don't?
01:11:45Will you step down as Read Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:49Happily.
01:11:50Hmm.
01:11:53Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:58It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:12:02Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:12:05Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:12:09Right now.
01:12:10Right now.
01:12:17I am not the kind for show.
01:12:24This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:28Lights are low, but I still glow.
01:12:32This moment's got a sting.
01:12:37Good.
01:12:40Now let's make a hit.
01:12:49Let's fucking go!
01:13:06Wait, what is she doing?
01:13:09I mean, you produced this, right? So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:13:13I can't. I don't have much.
01:13:15You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:13:19I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:13:21You are a musician.
01:13:25Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:13:27That sound, it's familiar.
01:13:30I am not the kind for show.
01:13:35This is not a one-time thing.
01:13:38Stop! Stop it!
01:13:39Let's go.
01:13:50Casey.
01:13:53You're Echo.
01:13:55Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:58This is my song.
01:14:00This is my song. She just ripped it off.
01:14:02Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:14:04Don't listen to her.
01:14:06I'm Echo.
01:14:10I didn't even make that version.
01:14:11I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:14:15Go fix this.
01:14:19Now everyone knows the truth.
01:14:25She's the one that saved the song.
01:14:27No, that was me.
01:14:28I already did all the work.
01:14:30She's just taking the credit.
01:14:31I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:14:35So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:14:37You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're gonna have to pay me for it.
01:14:41Where do I sign?
01:14:43I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:14:46I think you might just be surprised.
01:14:49200 million.
01:14:51200 million?
01:14:52For one song?
01:14:54That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:56Are you insane?
01:14:57And I want my name to be credited.
01:15:01Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:15:04And one last thing.
01:15:05I want a public apology from Scarlet Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:15:11That's ridiculous!
01:15:12Why should we apologize to you?
01:15:14I mean, you don't have to.
01:15:15I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlet could finish the album and Dexter's career could crash and
01:15:20burn.
01:15:21So, what will it be?
01:15:27The clock is ticking.
01:15:31I was wrong about you.
01:15:32You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:36I'm sorry.
01:15:40And you?
01:15:41Do it.
01:15:42Apologize to her.
01:15:44That bitch!
01:15:45Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:47She ruined everything!
01:15:49Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:50Tell the world the truth.
01:15:51Scarlet?
01:15:52Fine!
01:15:53I'm not Echo.
01:15:55I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:58They are happy?
01:16:01They are happy?
01:16:05Wait.
01:16:06That's not what I really meant.
01:16:08Dexter?
01:16:09She manipulated me.
01:16:11You're still my fiance?
01:16:12You believe-
01:16:12Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see.
01:16:15You fucking thought and you're a damn liar.
01:16:19Casey is the one who built my career.
01:16:22Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:16:25She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:30Our engagement is off.
01:16:32And so is the record.
01:16:36And so is for you.
01:16:55Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:57The album?
01:16:58Terminating your contract.
01:17:00And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:17:02Tuare is over.
01:17:08You got yourself a DL case.
01:17:18Here.
01:17:38Here.
01:18:04Here.
01:18:08Here.
01:18:18Here.
01:18:26Here.
01:18:27Here.
01:18:42I love you.
01:19:09Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:19:16I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:20You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:28You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:35Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:49But you had to get in my way.
01:19:54That won't happen again.
01:19:55Hey, say!
01:19:57Dex, no!
01:19:58No!
01:20:06No!
01:20:07No!
01:20:09Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:20:11Oh my god!
01:20:15Hey, hey, hey.
01:20:18You've been here all night.
01:20:21You still love him, don't you?
01:20:24Dexter saved my life, but...
01:20:27As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:30You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:36save you?
01:20:36It doesn't matter now.
01:20:38Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:42Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:47Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:51And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:57Your love.
01:20:59Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:21:00I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:21:07Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:21:10Hmm?
01:21:11Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:21:13The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:19You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:27Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:35Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:54It was a close call.
01:21:56One centimeter to the right.
01:21:58He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:59If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:22:04Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:22:06But for now, all he need is rest.
01:22:10That's it.
01:22:11Okay?
01:22:11Okay.
01:22:17What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:19Dexter, how could you do something so stupid?
01:22:25If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:30Never.
01:22:34Bye.
01:22:40My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:45Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:48I think I have every right to be.
01:22:54Casey, I...
01:22:55Casey, I...
01:22:59I miss you.
01:23:01I miss him, too.
01:23:03But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:23:08You saved my life, and I will be forever grateful.
01:23:18And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:21And we can go our separate ways.
01:23:23We can end on a high note.
01:23:24No.
01:23:25No.
01:23:27Is that really what you want?
01:23:30To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:39Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:41Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:55That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:59I only did it because I had to.
01:24:02They forced you to choose her.
01:24:04I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:24:06I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:24:10I'd choose you a million times over.
01:24:12And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:24:18But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:26When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:30I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:32Me neither.
01:24:37You're my little muse.
01:24:41My pop star.
01:24:47Which...
01:24:48Reminds me.
01:24:51Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life List.
01:24:57The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:25:02You saved their CEO.
01:25:03You deserve it.
01:25:04You're the reason I sing.
01:25:06You're the reason I live.
01:25:08I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:25:11You...
01:25:13You're my world, Casey.
01:25:16I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:25:18I know.
01:25:20But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:23I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:25:27stuff.
01:25:28I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:29I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:33That's all I need.
01:25:36We do it together.
01:25:41I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:44Okay.
01:25:45Okay.
01:25:48I want us to do this together.
01:25:52I love you.
01:25:55I love you too.
01:26:09This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:26:13Maybe we better give them one hell of a show.
01:26:18Yes, ma'am.
01:26:27I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:33But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:39So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:49I love you.
01:27:06I love you too.
01:27:10Imagine your way together
01:27:25This goes on
01:27:29Stuff in the stockings
01:27:32But I am still walking
01:27:34We're all doomed
01:27:38Was the fool who I hated
01:27:41Now I'm recreated
01:27:43Every time I look at the moon
01:27:48I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:54Soon you'll see
01:27:57That it's time for you and me
01:28:01Cause the best so far
01:28:06Was just a little
01:28:12Every time I look in your eyes
01:28:17I forget where I am
01:28:19Just a little
01:28:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:26I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:29Yeah, yeah
01:28:36Ticking and talking
01:28:38But I will be watching
01:28:42Do you believe in the moon?
01:28:46The mirror in heaven
01:28:47My heart is still breathing
01:28:50Every time I remember to smile
01:28:54I imagine the world
01:28:57We're together
