00:00:17My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, where that
00:00:25I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:28I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:43We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:48Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:00Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:09I have no idea what you do to me, Casey.
00:01:11How you make me feel.
00:01:12You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:36Because you're already mine.
00:01:40I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:45I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:09Hey, Casey, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:16Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:19Okay.
00:02:21It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert, the Echo mask will come off.
00:02:27And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:30His Echo and his Casey.
00:02:35You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:50I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:03Right.
00:03:05You are going to fight.
00:03:07I am comfortable in this bed.
00:03:11However, in the face that will feel nice.
00:03:13If you don't want me to maitie, you are not that bad.
00:03:15But if you're not Verfounce, you are still good.
00:03:15I need champagne.
00:03:17Cambridge finis Come on and I can't wait.
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:47he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:05She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:08Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:13I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:26Shit! The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:29I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:36Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:40What the hell is she up to?
00:04:45Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:50I'll be right back.
00:04:55There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:02In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:05But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:08You made him the star he is.
00:05:11I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:13But for now,
00:05:14I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this,
00:05:22he'll dump that little cheater
00:05:24and run straight into my arms.
00:05:43Oh, my God.
00:05:44These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:47Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:58Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:01Play that song!
00:06:03God, where's Casey?
00:06:04She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:05The show is a disaster.
00:06:07The fans are waiting.
00:06:08Can you please find her?
00:06:09I need her.
00:06:10No, Dexter.
00:06:12I'm the one you need.
00:06:13What?
00:06:22Mrs. Echo's not?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:33Listen,
00:06:34can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's
00:06:43one more thing
00:06:44I should probably show you.
00:06:47Casey
00:06:48has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls,
00:06:57dodged questions.
00:06:58Casey was
00:06:59cheating on me
00:07:00this whole time?
00:07:02Dexter,
00:07:03I'm so sorry.
00:07:04I would never,
00:07:05never do this to you.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:17Wait.
00:07:18Didn't Echo
00:07:18just mix a new track?
00:07:20And we're back.
00:07:22Well, I wrote this song
00:07:23for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38The next,
00:07:39your next big single
00:07:40is coming to you
00:07:41in three,
00:07:42two,
00:07:42one.
00:07:46I'm a man
00:07:49I'm a man
00:07:51I'm a man
00:07:54I'm a man
00:08:11To a memory of mine
00:08:13The time I looked into your eye
00:08:16The secret field in the gate
00:08:19I know I was running out of time
00:09:05The secret field in the gate
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:19Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hay
00:09:21He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:36To announce our relationship
00:09:39I loved her
00:09:40And she betrayed me
00:09:52Oh my god
00:09:53Dexie
00:09:55Oh my god
00:09:56Is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:59Yes
00:10:08Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:12I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:17No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:20But she made my career
00:10:22And Casey betrayed me
00:10:27It was all a lie
00:10:30Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:33And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:55You promised me
00:11:00That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:03But instead
00:11:04You'd propose
00:11:05And put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:09Casey, you-you-you gave me no choice
00:11:12I gave you everything
00:11:16I loved you
00:11:17Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her
00:11:21Okay, I-I-I-I-I owe her
00:11:23Alright, I don't-
00:11:24You owe her?
00:11:26Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan
00:11:30What has she ever done for you?
00:11:32Scarlet produced my career
00:11:34She made me who I am today
00:11:36Okay, so-so-so that's why
00:11:38What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet
00:11:42Is Echo
00:11:50You think
00:11:52Scarlet Heart
00:11:53Is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is
00:11:55You know what?
00:11:56I'll never be able to
00:11:58Thank her enough for
00:11:59Everything she's done for me
00:12:00And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:07Come on
00:12:08All you do is lie
00:12:11You know
00:12:12I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:14Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be
00:12:17A music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans
00:12:23To boost your sales?
00:12:25He could have had that with me
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:30Isn't it?
00:12:33Not loyalty
00:12:34Just
00:12:36Your music
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41Hmm?
00:12:43This
00:12:44Is my notebook
00:12:45Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:48For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:51That's my notebook
00:12:52How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:13:23I'm a musical genius
00:13:24Believing this
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:26Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:28Okay?
00:13:29Well, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Put it in the car
00:13:34Please
00:13:40But Casey
00:13:45Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:48So please just
00:13:49Just tell me the truth
00:13:51Okay?
00:13:51Right now
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:01Please
00:14:01Please
00:14:10The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:12You don't trust me anyway
00:14:19We're over
00:14:22Dex
00:14:25Goodbye
00:14:25Forever
00:14:45The hottest rock star
00:14:47On the planet
00:14:48Is officially off the market
00:14:50Dexter Hayes
00:14:51Pop the question
00:14:52Up and coming singer
00:14:53Scarlet Heart tonight
00:14:55And she said yes
00:15:01Dad
00:15:03I gave Dex everything
00:15:05I made his career
00:15:07But
00:15:08He doesn't want me
00:15:09He never did
00:15:10What happened, princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Heart
00:15:14She stole him
00:15:16And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:18I'll come get you
00:15:24JC
00:15:24Tacey
00:15:25Tacey
00:15:25Where are you?
00:15:31Ha ha ha ha
00:15:35Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:38Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:43Who are you?
00:15:44Let me go.
00:15:46Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:47We won't hurt you.
00:15:49We're your friends, too.
00:15:51We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:58We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:02You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:05I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:08We were in love.
00:16:09Or I thought we were.
00:16:11Oh, we'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:24Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:29Dressing room.
00:16:30Come alone.
00:16:32Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:35Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:40You've reached Casey.
00:16:41I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:44Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:48Casey?
00:16:49So she never left a concert.
00:16:50Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:54Dexter is coming.
00:16:55We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:58You psychos!
00:17:01Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancΓ©e?
00:17:06Obviously not.
00:17:07She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:11You fucked him too?
00:17:13God.
00:17:14Our precious Dexter.
00:17:17Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:19Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:22You don't deserve to live.
00:17:23No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:27So if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:32That's not true.
00:17:34First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:37You're psychotic.
00:17:38Oh, don't worry Casey.
00:17:40If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:44single on our new album.
00:17:47You're crazier than they are.
00:17:49Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:55Casey.
00:17:56Dexter.
00:18:02Dexter.
00:18:04Casey.
00:18:04Dexter.
00:18:06Dexter.
00:18:07Dexter.
00:18:07Dexter, help me.
00:18:08They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:13Okay guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:18We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:20We're your biggest fans.
00:18:22We're doing this for you.
00:18:25Okay, well if you love me, alright, you'll put the gun down and you'll let these two go, please.
00:18:30No, that's not how this works.
00:18:33Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:37We're engaged now.
00:18:38You can't let me die.
00:18:40Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:46mean anything?
00:18:47You must choose one to live.
00:18:50Will it be your future wife?
00:18:53Or your mistress?
00:18:55Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:59They said if I told you Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:02I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:15You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:19And you loved him?
00:19:21You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:24If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:28Choose now or they both die.
00:19:30Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:33Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:35You dumped her, you chose me.
00:19:37Don't let them murder me.
00:19:39That's enough.
00:19:40We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:45Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:46I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:49Scarlet, all right?
00:19:50I choose Scarlet.
00:19:56Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:58I was so scared.
00:20:00He chose Scarlet?
00:20:02Good choice.
00:20:03Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:05Now, wait a minute.
00:20:06You told me that...
00:20:07You made your choice.
00:20:08Dexter Hayes.
00:20:10Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:13And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:23I guess this is the end.
00:20:30Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:33Put the good down!
00:20:36Put the good down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:38Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:50Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:52Okay.
00:20:52Oh, come on.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:54All right.
00:20:56Okay.
00:21:00It's gonna be okay.
00:21:01Okay?
00:21:02You left me to die.
00:21:04And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:07I was right to walk away.
00:21:09Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:13Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:21Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey.
00:21:27Casey.
00:21:28Hey.
00:21:36Casey.
00:21:37Casey, stop.
00:21:39Please, stop.
00:21:39Please, please.
00:21:40We're gonna go.
00:21:41Okay.
00:21:42What are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:43You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:47Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:49You're delusional.
00:21:51He doesn't need you.
00:21:52He has Echo.
00:21:53Well, yeah.
00:21:55Sure he does.
00:21:56Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:02Fame changed me?
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:07Then what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:12I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger.
00:22:19You chose her and you left me for dead.
00:22:22No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god, that's...
00:22:50That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:55So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:00You're here now.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:12We took a million for you.
00:23:16No, I shouldn't be you.
00:23:17I was trying to have everything you could ever wanted.
00:23:23I was trying to...
00:23:24Take the head.
00:23:25Take me home.
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:33Casey!
00:23:34How did you feel?
00:23:34Take out of everything.
00:23:36Casey!
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:39Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlet.
00:23:45Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:48I almost died.
00:23:49And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:53I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:56She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:59Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:04Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:07She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:09All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:12I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:14But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:23Forget him, princess.
00:24:25Hmm?
00:24:26You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:38announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:42And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:57My back is pressed
00:25:04My back is pressed
00:25:12No, no!
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:15Guys, cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look, guys, we have one week, alright,
00:25:26to finish this song before the release.
00:25:28The Echo that I know
00:25:30can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:33You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:37What's going on?
00:25:39Look, Scarlett,
00:25:40I just gotta ask.
00:25:41Are you really Echo?
00:25:46Echo?
00:25:47Echo?
00:25:47Are you really, Echo?
00:25:50Dexy.
00:25:53Of course I am.
00:25:55It's just...
00:25:57Your new assistant.
00:25:58You don't...
00:25:59He's been messing...
00:25:59He's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:04I mean, look.
00:26:05I love...
00:26:06Last saved by Max.
00:26:08Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:11Okay, you know what?
00:26:12Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:16Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:19It's Dexter.
00:26:20And I'm sorry,
00:26:21but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:25You're fired.
00:26:48Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:08We're sorry.
00:27:09You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:14All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:18So why can't I do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got.
00:27:39An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:43The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:52Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:54Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:56Dexter.
00:27:57You said it yourself.
00:27:59They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:00We have to go.
00:28:02This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:07Okay, look.
00:28:09I know what you're thinking,
00:28:11but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:13He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:15I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:20a few extra bucks.
00:28:21You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:24He could make or break our careers.
00:28:27Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am.
00:28:31We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:35So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:40I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:43Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:47Or her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:51Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:57I'm Echo.
00:28:59I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:01And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:12How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:17We're honored.
00:29:18And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:22Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:27I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed worship.
00:29:33Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:35Who is this mysterious Harris?
00:29:38She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:40I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:43Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:45She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:47Look, here she is now!
00:29:59No fucking way!
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:31Hey, Dex.
00:30:32Long time ago.
00:30:33no see. Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking away from him. So
00:30:42why does my heart still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her and instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new
00:31:05CEO. You should listen to her, Dexter. All we need to do is get on their good side and
00:31:11our album will go straight to number one. She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this
00:31:17new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:37Scarlet, what a terrible surprise. I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for
00:31:41your next sugar daddy, but this party is for the elite of the music industry only. I suggest
00:31:46you wait on the street corner with the other hookers. But the party's just getting started.
00:31:51I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:56Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too? I hear he's much more selective than Ed
00:32:03Reed so don't expect him to look at you twice. And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave or
00:32:09I will have security escort you out. I'd love to see you try.
00:32:17Jealous? I loved him and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind
00:32:23so easily? You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little
00:32:33errant girl. I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress
00:32:40up. Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where do you think she got the jewels though? Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just
00:32:49like all those desperate social climbers in our industry. Hmm. They got that right. Hmm. Is that
00:32:57so? Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me who's putting on an actor?
00:33:07Is it you? How dare you? Careful. The new CEO might be watching. You think you're hot
00:33:18shit just because you're the real Echo. You may have the talent, but you have no money and
00:33:23no connections besides the ones you make and pay by the hour hotel rooms. But me, I'm a beloved
00:33:28up-and-coming pop star. And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will
00:33:34get you canceled so fucking hard. Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed. Hi. Dexter Hayes. Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero
00:33:48of mine. Well, I would really love to put that, well, that incident with my assistant behind
00:33:55us. Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can. Good. Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:02when
00:34:03he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter and the heiress to the Reed Records fortune.
00:34:09Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that
00:34:13Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on. I really think that between my lyrics and, well,
00:34:19her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades, I think we could really
00:34:24make something special. Well, you make a compelling point. And you know, if it's not too much,
00:34:30it actually might be helpful for the record. Well, maybe if you could put in a good word
00:34:34with the new CEO, I, well, that would make me forever, forever grateful. Why don't you
00:34:41put in a good word yourself? The new CEO is already here.
00:34:55Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:06and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here. I hated myself
00:35:12for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again. But after what he did
00:35:17to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction. Oh, you've been calling me for the last few
00:35:23days. What, you missed me already? Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only.
00:35:34Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm going to stay. You know, Scarlet,
00:35:41on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations
00:35:46all night. If anyone needs to go, it should be her. Unless you want me to expose your lies
00:35:52to Dexter right here, right now. Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed
00:35:58himself or the new CEO. You have no power here. Okay, guys, Ed Reed and this new CEO are about
00:36:06to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation later? Oh, Dex, you forgot to say please.
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:23Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:32Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world. But tonight, I want to
00:36:39introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company. Someone who grew up
00:36:44listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on
00:36:49one of them. Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine. No more secrets, Dexter
00:36:57Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected. Mr. Reed is looking right at
00:37:03us. He's going to call us on stage. All right, this is it. He's going to announce that he's
00:37:09signed us to Reed Records. I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire. The new
00:37:16CEO of Reed Records, my princess, in the light of my life, my daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:30What?
00:37:35No.
00:37:43Casey.
00:38:00That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:02Holy shit. She's not a sugar baby. She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty. Scarlet
00:38:08Hart is delusional. Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face? She just committed
00:38:14a career suicide. Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour.
00:38:19Ugh, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:23Dad, this is too much.
00:38:25Well, something from the old man. And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight
00:38:29in gold.
00:38:30This cannot be happening. She's a nobody.
00:38:35I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:41Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy. He was her father. This whole time she was with me for
00:38:46love, not fame. She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for
00:38:52another woman. How could I be so blind?
00:39:02Suits you?
00:39:04Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:10Casey, I, I love, I just...
00:39:24I just, I still miss you.
00:39:34Ah.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancΓ©'s wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:45But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay? If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:51Explain what, Dexter? Why you want me back? After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here. If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey. I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:09You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:11I lied?
00:40:11Yeah.
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen! You have to believe me, please! I was just trying to...
00:40:22Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:25I guess, why are you here? Are you here just...
00:40:27Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:34Oh, tank your career.
00:40:35I made his career.
00:40:39I loved you, Dexter. You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea
00:40:44who I am.
00:40:47Wait...
00:40:50This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it? Why you left me for dead.
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad, threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:06No, no.
00:41:07No, no, no.
00:41:08Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:20Read Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:32Effective immediately.
00:41:34Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
00:41:40You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:45Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:49Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:56She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo. She can produce new songs.
00:42:05Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Read Records.
00:42:10Dexter, you don't need her. She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:14Okay, mom, mom, stop. You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:20I'm done talking about this.
00:42:41I've known you for years. I thought you'd stay the same. All of those years.
00:43:10You do it.
00:43:13Terra!
00:43:18Alright.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:48You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:54Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:56I never gave up on us.
00:43:58She's got another truth.
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:10Fine.
00:44:12Let's not talk.
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancΓ© not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:35Not anymore.
00:44:37I'm your former boss now.
00:44:39In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:46I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:48I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:50I just want you.
00:44:51And I know that you want me too.
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:44:59I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument, but you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:17I don't care about the fans.
00:45:19I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:20I don't care what the record labels have to say.
00:45:22If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:31We can tease each other all day, until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:46:03You're right, I am like an instrument, the way I let you play me.
00:46:08After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me.
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you, I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:17Hello?
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on.
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months, the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:28A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:31I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes-sized hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:35It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:36You don't need him.
00:46:38He'll hurt you.
00:46:39No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:40I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:44Casey.
00:46:45Casey.
00:46:46Casey!
00:46:48Daisy has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:46:51I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:00Oh.
00:47:02Oh.
00:47:05Perfect timing.
00:47:07Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice.
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:14I've made an exception for you.
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:19I don't know what that means.
00:47:22But, you wanna hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online.
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:28Well, I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:33Actually, I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind.
00:47:36So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:39Of course.
00:47:43But, you're not in a hurry.
00:47:44Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:06I do love straight vodka.
00:48:14But, you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:26My hair!
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think you can drug me?
00:48:31And then what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:34Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:37Not so fast.
00:48:39You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from THE Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely.
00:48:47And a fraud.
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me.
00:48:58Not when I can read records.
00:49:00Or myself.
00:49:03Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:04I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:06The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:12Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:14How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:16Your poor father.
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice.
00:49:20But to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:22You're delusional.
00:49:24Stay away from me.
00:49:26You're fine.
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha to me.
00:49:28Hey!
00:49:29Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:32I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:34Baxter Hayes, huh?
00:49:36Are you okay?
00:49:37I'm fine.
00:49:42What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:44I could sue you for that.
00:49:46I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:49You're just a wash-up addict.
00:49:50And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:49:53Okay?
00:49:57Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:58Jesus.
00:50:00We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:50:02You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:06I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:09Her name is KC Reed.
00:50:12And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:17Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:20I'm not sure of that.
00:50:22Let's go.
00:50:34Give me your hand.
00:50:42KC, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:44Sasha Silver is literally-
00:50:45My business is none of your concern.
00:50:48If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you.
00:50:54Yes!
00:50:54Okay!
00:50:55I know!
00:50:57Newsflash!
00:50:57I'm not your-
00:50:58Your assistant!
00:50:59Anymore!
00:51:00So, it's not your concern, where I am, or what I'm doing.
00:51:04Okay?
00:51:05So stop...
00:51:07Following me.
00:51:12The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:15I'll stop following you, the minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:22And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:27You're way...
00:51:29Too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:33Won't your fiancΓ© be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying to tell you for weeks.
00:51:42I did not...
00:51:43Want to marry...
00:51:45Scarlet.
00:51:47But you don't fight him with it.
00:51:49And now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:51:55That's the point.
00:51:56That's the point.
00:51:58That's the point.
00:51:59That's the point.
00:52:00That's the point.
00:52:02That's the point.
00:52:03So...
00:52:04What am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:15I should push him away, but...
00:52:17I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:20You were never the side piece.
00:52:23And you know it.
00:52:24You never...
00:52:30It's okay.
00:52:31It's okay.
00:52:31I've seen it.
00:52:33Boss!
00:52:34I have news!
00:52:37Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:42Please, stop following me.
00:52:47or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:59great timing
00:53:01as always
00:53:02why are you even here?
00:53:03done what you asked
00:53:04news of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:08no label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:11his net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:13good
00:53:14buy all the rice to his music
00:53:18I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:25I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:26now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:28look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:31but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha
00:53:35there was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:38all of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry
00:53:40had out for everyone to see
00:53:42he's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:44cancelled
00:53:44who took him down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes
00:53:52he even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:55he can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back
00:53:59Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:02for me?
00:54:03maybe
00:54:04he's not as bad as I thought
00:54:06or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:14the world famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:21night
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:24Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:25Scarlet's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies
00:54:28she can't keep up the act forever
00:54:30sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:34much less produce a hit track
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:38she knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:40let alone marry her if she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:45I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:49I think it's time
00:54:50the world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:57you want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:00they've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:02I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:05it's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:08the world
00:55:09or Dexter
00:55:13this isn't about him
00:55:17he made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:19well my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:23but if you're gonna go as Echo, oh you're gonna do it right
00:55:27with the best equipment money can buy
00:55:29huh?

01:11:42this moment's got a sting
01:11:47good

01:11:59let's fucking go
01:12:16wait what is she doing?
01:12:19i mean you produced this right so do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23i i can't i don't have but
01:12:25you don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:29i mean you are a musician right?
01:12:35since when is Casey read a musical genius?
01:12:38that sound it's familiar
01:12:40you are not the kind for sure
01:12:44you are not the kind for sure
01:12:44and this is not a one time thing
01:12:48stop! stop it!
01:13:01Casey
01:13:04you are echo
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:09This is my song! She just ripped it off!
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:14Don't listen to her!
01:13:17I'm Echo!
01:13:20I didn't even make that version.
01:13:22I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:26Go fix this.
01:13:29Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:36She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:38No, that was me!
01:13:39I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit!
01:13:42I had to mix the track live, Dexter.
01:13:45So that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:48You're welcome to put it on your next album,
01:13:50but you're gonna have to pay me for it.
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:56I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:59Two hundred million.
01:14:00Two hundred million?
01:14:03For one song?
01:14:04It's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:08And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:12Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:14And one last thing.
01:14:16I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:21That's ridiculous!
01:14:22Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:26I could just go ahead and leave and then Scarlett could finish the album
01:14:29and Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:31So, what will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking.
01:14:42I was wrong about you.
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:47I'm sorry.
01:14:50And you?
01:14:52Do it.
01:14:53Apologize to her.
01:14:55That bitch!
01:14:56Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything!
01:15:00Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:01Tell the world the truth, Scarlett.
01:15:03Fine!
01:15:04I'm not Echo!
01:15:05I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:09They are happy?!
01:15:12They are happy?!
01:15:16Wait...
01:15:16That's not what I really meant!
01:15:20Dexter...
01:15:20She manipulated me!
01:15:22You're still my fiancΓ©!
01:15:23You believe-
01:15:23Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:26You fucking thought and you're a damn liar!
01:15:30Casey is the one who built my career.
01:15:33Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:15:35She's the only one who ever cared about me.
01:15:39Or loved me.
01:15:41Our engagement is off.
01:15:43And so is the record.
01:15:57And so is the record.
01:15:59No!
01:16:01No!
01:16:01No!
01:16:01No!
01:16:03No!
01:16:06Do you like that?
01:16:08Great!
01:16:08The album?
01:16:09Terminating your contract.
01:16:11And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:13Career is over!
01:16:19You got yourself the deal case.
01:16:34If we're not here for long
01:16:40Tell me where would we belong
01:16:45My back is pressed against the wall
01:16:51I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:03It's burning from my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:11And who am I to live like?
01:17:19This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:23But I'm not all thinking about
01:17:53And who am I to live like?
01:18:21Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know,
01:18:24are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast,
01:18:29and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry,
01:18:33and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore!
01:18:42You ruined everything!
01:18:46Dexter was going to be mine!
01:18:49I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way.
01:19:05Hey, that won't happen again.
01:19:07Hey, say!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
01:19:18Dex, no!
01:19:20Dex, Dex, stay with me!
01:19:22Oh, my God!
01:19:27Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:30You've been here all night.
01:19:33You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:39as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:19:42You know, if you say so.
01:19:43But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:19:45why he risked his own life to save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now.
01:19:50Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:19:53Casey,
01:19:55Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together,
01:20:06they made millions believe in love.
01:20:09Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:12I mean,
01:20:13a love like that burns bright,
01:20:14but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:22Hmm?
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives
01:20:26want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:29and sign him to the label again.
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping,
01:20:40but you can see him now.
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:06It was a close call.
01:21:08One centimeter to the right.
01:21:10He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:12If Dex couldn't sing anymore,
01:21:14his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:18But for now,
01:21:20all he need is rest.
01:21:22That's it.
01:21:23Okay?
01:21:29What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:33How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:37If you don't make it through this,
01:21:39I will never forgive you.
01:21:42Never.
01:21:46Bye.
01:21:52My God, you're beautiful.
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be.
01:22:06Casey, I...
01:22:07Casey, I...
01:22:11I miss you.
01:22:13I miss him, too.
01:22:15But everything we've put each other through,
01:22:17can we really be together again?
01:22:20You saved my life, and...
01:22:25I will be forever grateful.
01:22:30And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:33And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:35We can end on a high note.
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:12I only did it because I had to.
01:23:14They forced you to choose her.
01:23:16I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:19I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:22I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:24And I knew that I'd break your heart,
01:23:26and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:23:44Me neither.
01:23:49You're my little muse.
01:23:53My pop star.
01:23:59Which...
01:24:00Reminds me...
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally
01:24:06invite you to headline the Wildlife Festival.
01:24:10The Wildlife Festival is the biggest music stage
01:24:12in the world.
01:24:14You saved their CEO.
01:24:16You deserve it.
01:24:16You're the reason I sing.
01:24:19You're the reason I live.
01:24:20I don't want to songwrite or do any of this
01:24:22if I don't have you.
01:24:23You...
01:24:25You're my world, Casey.
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:30I know.
01:24:32But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:35I don't want to be with you for just who you are
01:24:37or what you have or any of that stuff.
01:24:40I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:24:42I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:24:45That's all I need.
01:24:48We do it together.
01:24:54I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:24:57Okay.
01:25:00I want us to do this together.
01:25:04I love you.
01:25:07I love you, too.
01:25:10I love you, too.
01:25:21This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:26Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:30Yes, ma'am.
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed,
01:25:44who is my echo,
01:25:45but more importantly,
01:25:46she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:02I love you, too.
01:26:15I love you, too.
01:26:18I love you, too.
01:26:21I love you, too.
01:26:43I love you, too.
01:26:56Every time I look at the moon for
01:27:01a dream of a night that's lost around
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:09that it's time for you and me
01:27:14Cause the bay is so far
01:27:19We're just a little
01:27:24Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am just a little
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:38I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah
01:27:48I'm taking and talking, but I will be watching
01:27:55You're the mirror, the mirror in heaven
01:28:00My heart is open
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07I imagine the world we're together
01:28:19I'm taking and talking, but I'm taking and talking
