00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.

00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.

00:09:14How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:35He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:41I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:55Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:15I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet.
00:10:22But she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:29It was all a lie.
00:10:33All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:39heart.
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:59You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:09Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:14I gave you everything.
00:11:18I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her.
00:11:24Okay, I owe her, all right? I don't...
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:33What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:36She made me who I am today.
00:11:39Okay, so that's why.
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is.
00:11:58You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:23To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me.
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:32Oh, isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty.
00:12:38Just your music.
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook.
00:12:49Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:54That's my notebook.
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius.
00:13:00And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:03Give it back.
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:07Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't...
00:13:10I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:12Dexy, baby.
00:13:14I know all about girls like her.
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:22She has been for years.
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:31Okay?
00:13:32Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:43Casey.
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:51So please just...
00:13:52Just tell me the truth.
00:13:54Okay, right now.
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:59Please.
00:14:04Please.
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:22We're over.
00:14:24Dex.
00:14:28Goodbye.
00:14:29Forever.
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight,
00:14:58and she said yes.
00:15:04Dad.
00:15:06I gave Dex everything.
00:15:08I made his career, but...
00:15:11He doesn't want me.
00:15:12He never did.
00:15:14What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart.
00:15:17She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:21I'll come get you.
00:15:22I'm going...
00:15:24I...
00:15:24Oh, I've got one.
00:15:32And I'll...
00:15:38It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go.
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:50We won't hurt you.
00:15:52We're your friends, too.
00:15:54We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:09I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:11We were in love.
00:16:12Or I thought we were.
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room.
00:16:34Come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:38Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:43You've reached Casey.
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert.
00:16:54Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:57Dexter is coming.
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is.
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him, too?
00:17:16God, our precious Dexter.
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:25You don't deserve to live.
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:30So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true.
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:40You're psychotic.
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:48single on our new album.
00:17:51You're crazier than they are.
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey.
00:17:59Dex!
00:18:00Dex!
00:18:08Dexter, help me.
00:18:12They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:22We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go.
00:18:34Please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works.
00:18:37Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now.
00:18:41You can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:50mean
00:18:50anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:02They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart.
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead.
00:19:31Make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter.
00:19:35Dexter, please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:38You dumped her.
00:19:40You chose me.
00:19:41Don't let them murder me.
00:19:43That's email.
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right?
00:19:54I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:03He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice.
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute.
00:20:10You told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:27I guess this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:39Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go!
00:20:55Let's go!
00:20:56Okay, okay.
00:20:56Oh, God, okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:00All right.
00:21:03It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die!
00:21:08And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:11I was right to walk away.
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:17Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:30Casey, Casey.
00:21:32Casey, hey.
00:21:40Casey.
00:21:42Casey, stop!
00:21:43Please, stop!
00:21:43Please, please, please.
00:21:44We're gonna go...
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:54You're delusional.
00:21:55He doesn't need you.
00:21:56He has Echo.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Sure he does.
00:22:00Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:16I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:22You chose her, and you left me for dead!
00:22:26No.
00:22:27Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:59I'm so sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:06Take me home.
00:23:21I was trying to...
00:23:25I was trying to...
00:23:29I was trying to...
00:23:37Sieg!
00:23:37Yes.
00:23:38You said hi!
00:23:38He was a kid!
00:23:39I didn't even...
00:23:40I didn't know!
00:23:40Shey-shey!
00:23:41Shey-shey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:45Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet...
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes...
00:23:50You should have seen it.
00:23:52I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:03Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, Princess.
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:42announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records,
00:24:46and my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:01My back is pressed.
00:25:09My back is pressed.
00:25:16No, no!
00:25:18Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:33The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:45Are you really Echo?
00:25:51Are you really Echo?
00:25:55Dexy, of course I am.
00:26:00It's just your new assistant.
00:26:03He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look, last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:22It's Dexter.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but, uh, my last assistant would've never screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
00:26:37Let's do it again.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:22So why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:24a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:33Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:52Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:02I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:14How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter.
00:29:36The heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:38Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look! Here she is now!
00:30:03No fucking way!
00:30:06No fucking way!
00:30:26No fucking way!
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:36Hey Dex.
00:30:37Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So...
00:30:48Why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right.
00:31:20I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:31Hmm.
00:31:36Hmm.
00:31:41Scarlet!
00:31:42What a terrible surprise.
00:31:43I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy, but this party is for the
00:31:48elite of the music industry only.
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:54But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:01Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records 2?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:10And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:23I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant, playing dress-up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think she got the jewels, though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men, just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm. They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm. Is that so?
00:33:02Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me, who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:30-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard.
00:33:42Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed.
00:33:47Hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:51You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I'd really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:11daughter.
00:34:12Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:15Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:19and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:28I think we could really make something special.
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:34And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make me
00:34:43forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here.
00:35:01Casey.
00:35:03Casey.
00:35:05Casey.
00:35:06Casey.
00:35:08Uh, I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead
00:35:14you just showed up here.
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again, but after what
00:35:23he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34Ed Reed.
00:35:34This event is invite only.
00:36:01Ed Reed.
00:36:04Ed Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:15later?
00:36:15Oh, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world. But tonight, I want to introduce you to
00:36:46someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:55on one of them.
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:12Alright, this is it. He's gonna announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:15I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess.
00:37:26And the light of my life.
00:37:29My daughter.
00:37:30Casey Reed.
00:37:35What?
00:37:37No.
00:37:46I can't wait for them.
00:37:49Who are you?
00:37:49I can't wait for them.
00:37:50Casey...
00:38:06...That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08...Holy shit!
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:10She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:19She just committed career suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift for the lady of the hour.
00:38:25Ah, that's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad, this is too much.
00:38:31There was something from the old man,
00:38:33and now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:36This cannot be happening.
00:38:38She's a nobody.
00:38:42I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me,
00:38:44but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:49He was her father.
00:38:51This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth,
00:38:56and instead of trusting her,
00:38:57I left her for another woman.
00:38:59How could I be so blind?
00:39:08Suits you?
00:39:11The guitar and the CEO title.
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I just...
00:39:24I thought you'd stay the same all of those years...
00:39:30I just...
00:39:32I still miss you.
00:39:34I still miss you.
00:39:43Shouldn't you be licking your fiancƩ's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt,
00:39:52but I mean,
00:39:53you of all people should know.
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand.
00:40:16You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:18I lied.
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:26You have to believe me, please.
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing.
00:40:32I guess, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:35Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, tank your career.
00:40:43I made his career.
00:40:46I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:49You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:53Wait.
00:40:57This...
00:40:58This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:01Why you left me for dead.
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:08Threw me to the curb.
00:41:10For the fame.
00:41:11The fortune.
00:41:13The fans.
00:41:14No, no.
00:41:14No, no, no.
00:41:15Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:28Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:40Effective immediately.
00:41:41Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:48You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:53Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:57Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this.
00:42:00I don't care about that.
00:42:01I've always loved you.
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:42:04She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:10Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:12She can produce songs.
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:17Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:19She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:22Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:24Stop.
00:42:24You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this.
00:42:50I've known you for years.
00:42:55I've known you for years.
00:42:57I thought you were chasing all of those years.
00:43:05I've broken the blade.
00:43:17I'm still missing you
00:43:22I'm still
00:43:24And I'm still
00:43:26I'm still missing you
00:43:35I'm still missing you
00:43:45I'm still missing you
00:43:54I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me.
00:44:04I never gave up on us.
00:44:06She's got another truth.
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:29What's wrong?
00:44:31Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:36I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:44Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:55I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:59I just want you.
00:45:00And I know that you want me to.
00:45:02Don't act like you've forgotten what we had.
00:45:08I've been trying to, but being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument, but you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:25I don't care about the fans.
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:30If you tell me that you want to be with me, we'll be together.
00:45:40We can tease each other all day.
00:45:44Until you finally admit that you still love me.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:14I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did, why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me.
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:31Hold on.
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months.
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag.
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill, and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you, of all people, get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey.
00:46:58Casey has every right to be angry with me after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove she can trust me again.
00:47:15Perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much.
00:47:23I've made an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means.
00:47:32But you want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:36I'm very excited about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Wow.
00:47:40I heard you'd be blown away.
00:47:43Actually, I was hoping for a live performance, if you don't mind.
00:47:46So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course.
00:47:52But you're not in a hurry.
00:47:54Why don't we toast first to this potential partnership?
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:24But you know what I actually love even more than that?
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:34Exposing asshole pervs.
00:48:36My hair.
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:56And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure no label will ever sign you, no matter how talented you are.
00:49:06I won't need a label to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I can read records for myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi will be here any minute to see my new mistress.
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos all over the tabloids.
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are.
00:49:23How you slept your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have no choice.
00:49:30We'll have to hand you and your company over to me.
00:49:32You're delusional.
00:49:34Stay away from me.
00:49:36Be honest.
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha.
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:39Let's get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:45Dexter Hayes.
00:49:46Huh?
00:49:46Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine.
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that.
00:49:57I'd love to see you try as we are.
00:49:58You're just a wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have produced a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted to defend this used-up slut.
00:50:16I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:19The name is KC Ring.
00:50:22And she's the future of the industry that you want so badly fucking in!
00:50:28Your career is dead, Sasha.
00:50:30I'm not sure of that.
00:50:33Let's go.
00:50:41Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:53KC, I've been telling you for months.
00:50:55Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:56My business is none of your concern.
00:50:59If I didn't show up tonight, what the hell do you think would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.
00:51:04Yes!
00:51:05Okay, I know.
00:51:07Newsflash.
00:51:08I'm not your assistant anymore.
00:51:11So, it's not your concern where I am or what I'm doing, okay?
00:51:15Okay, so stop following me.
00:51:22The car is still fucking moving.
00:51:26Stop following you.
00:51:27The minute that you stop making stupid fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in.
00:51:37You're way too interested in my personal life, Dex.
00:51:44Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks I did not want to marry Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking listen.
00:52:00Now you're really starting to piss me off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:14So, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she doesn't exist and be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:26I should push him away, but I can't deny how much I miss his touch.
00:52:31You were never the side piece.
00:52:34And you know it.
00:52:45Boss, I have news!
00:52:48Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:53Please, stop following me.
00:52:58Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15I've done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press.
00:53:20No label, studio, brand will go anywhere near.
00:53:23His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:24Oh, good.
00:53:26Buy all the rice to his music.
00:53:29I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha.
00:53:38Now, that was way too risky, Casey.
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan, but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:45I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see.
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled.
00:53:56Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing anything anywhere or get sued to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14Or me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:25The world-famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:54:32night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later, Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track.
00:54:48Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo.
00:54:50I mean, she knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let alone marry her, if she wasn't pretending to be
00:54:55a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it.
00:55:00I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:55:09You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:55:14I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world?
00:55:21Or Dexter?
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:38Ha ha, with the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:51Invest that.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes!
00:56:07It's so good to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:13Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow.
00:56:20And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something one of a kind, just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:31I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't touch that.
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Yeah, it's you.
00:56:50Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here.
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:56You're disturbing our VIP customers.
00:56:58I have to ask you to leave now.
00:57:05I'm the CEO.
00:57:07Of Reed Records.
00:57:09I have just as much of a right to be here as you.
00:57:12Because of your Nepo baby connections, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlet.
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancƩ and creative collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:29You're right.
00:57:31In that case, you should have this.
00:57:40Oh, my God!
00:57:48Oh, my God!
00:57:49Oh, my God!
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million-dollar guitar!
00:58:02Security!
00:58:03Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second.
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh, my God.
00:58:11Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:58:14You think you sell that for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes!
00:58:19Just kidding.
00:58:32Scarlet, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find a better option.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45BeyoncƩ used this on her last album.
00:58:48This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:55Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:59:03I'm going to just...
00:59:06My apologies, my apologies.
00:59:08Apologies.
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:13Look, look.
00:59:13We just want the one guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar,
00:59:19but it's not going to stop Scarlet from choking on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:39Hi, Dexter.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just insulted your fiancƩ.
00:59:48You need to do something.
00:59:50Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:53about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlet's talent as a producer
00:59:58is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could do is show her a little respect.
01:00:06You know what?
01:00:07Actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
01:00:09I should show respect to the one person
01:00:13who's always been there for me.
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:25how much it costs,
01:00:26and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:29Miss Reed,
01:00:31as the new owner of the store,
01:00:32how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:34Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:45for my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records,
01:00:54you probably don't know.
01:00:55But I'm someone who cares about you a lot,
01:00:58and why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even a real musician,
01:01:06and you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have it for free,
01:01:16as long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:19Ah!
01:01:21Casey,
01:01:22I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:24And besides,
01:01:26we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:27I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:31You will regret this.
01:01:34Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty face
01:01:38with no talent to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, mom.
01:01:47I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed,
01:01:51and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:53Two,
01:01:55my birthday was months ago.
01:01:56Actually,
01:01:57the night that you proposed to Scarlett,
01:01:59so your gift means nothing.
01:02:03Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11What are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to spend every single day
01:02:21of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:42I want you to get the best equipment
01:02:44and the best instruments
01:02:45to her collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:49Oh, one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:59Dexter, you can't do this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:14Mr. Hayes.
01:03:15Ms. Hart.
01:03:16You're on in five.
01:03:17The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song.
01:03:25It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:26The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:30I can't believe I'm about to perform
01:03:31on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:35All right, guys.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scotland!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket
01:04:02after she cried about being left out.
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlett.
01:04:05You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:04:08I thought it would be too painful
01:04:09for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:04:13when you yourself have none.
01:04:16I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:20Oh, I guess we'll see who's real
01:04:22and who's fake tonight.
01:04:23Wreck-a-legs, Scarlett.
01:04:25Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:57The track's gone completely white.
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer
01:05:08to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:17We're going to ruin the broadcast
01:05:19and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:21What are we going to do?
01:05:23I have an idea.
01:05:26You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true.
01:05:41I'm Echo,
01:05:42the award-winning producer
01:05:44and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:47Then prove it.
01:05:49Go ahead.
01:05:50Why don't you mix us a live track
01:05:52right here, right now?
01:05:53Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean,
01:05:57this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:59I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:06:04This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:06:07I must have another file I can play.
01:06:09I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:06:12Of course.
01:06:14Watch me work my magic.
01:06:33And that's how it's done.
01:06:36Show must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:38Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:40You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay, can you boost the treble
01:06:45on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:47And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do
01:07:01with the old-fashioned way.
01:07:02That means recording the instruments live,
01:07:05looping them.
01:07:05Don't listen to her.
01:07:07She doesn't know what it takes
01:07:08to make a track of my caliber.
01:07:10And this isn't the first time
01:07:11one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:07:14If I didn't know any better,
01:07:16I'd think you were trying to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet.
01:07:19Why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real?
01:07:21Okay, here.
01:07:21Here, Echo.
01:07:23Okay?
01:07:23So, just fix the track.
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:27Come on, Echo.
01:07:29What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could, if I had something other than
01:07:46this shoddy Breed Records music equipment
01:07:48to work with.
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius,
01:07:51why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would, gladly,
01:07:55but it's actually your big night,
01:07:56so, why don't you show everyone
01:07:58the brilliant Echo
01:07:59and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some mini instruments,
01:08:11lay them down,
01:08:12make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think your fiancƩ
01:08:17is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down,
01:08:20you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:27Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter
01:08:29and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius
01:08:56to make that racket
01:08:57sound like music.
01:09:11Wow.
01:09:18Oh, my God.
01:09:20Is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on, Echo.
01:09:23Show them your talent.
01:09:24Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage.
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:31All right, look.
01:09:34It's done.
01:09:35You're really going to give up
01:09:37that easily, Dex?
01:09:38You're going to throw it all away
01:09:40because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am.
01:09:42That whole career,
01:09:44that I fought for
01:09:45for however, how many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to
01:09:54once told me
01:09:55that there's a lot more to life
01:09:57than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows,
01:09:59maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:01as a personal assistant
01:10:02for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:10:06Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:10:09Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:10:12Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving the song.
01:10:17Now, it's over.
01:10:17It's over.
01:10:33Well, I guess it's time
01:10:34for the next act of this show.
01:10:37No, no.
01:10:38There's no, there's, there's no other...
01:10:40Everybody, hey!
01:10:41It's time to let a real musician
01:10:43take the stage.
01:10:51What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay
01:11:01unless you want to go down
01:11:02as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track,
01:11:06what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:11:10And if you don't?
01:11:12Will you step down
01:11:14as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone,
01:11:22we're about to watch
01:11:23the Reed Records CEO
01:11:24dig her own grave.
01:11:25It seems like Echo
01:11:26is having technical difficulties
01:11:28with her track.
01:11:30Since we're live,
01:11:31let's make something new.
01:11:33Dexter, sing me the first line
01:11:34of your song,
01:11:34just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now.
01:11:45I am not
01:11:46the kind
01:11:48for a show.
01:11:52This is not
01:11:53a one-time thing.
01:11:55lights are low
01:11:57but I still
01:11:58glow
01:11:59this morning's
01:12:02got
01:12:02a sting.
01:12:05Good.
01:12:08Now let's make a hit.
01:12:16Let's fucking go!
01:12:34Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean,
01:12:38you produced this, right?
01:12:39So do you want to go ahead
01:12:40and take over?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have
01:12:42but...
01:12:43you don't need
01:12:44anything
01:12:44except for a band
01:12:45and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean,
01:12:47you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:54a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds...
01:12:56it's...
01:12:57familiar.
01:12:58I'm not
01:12:59the kind
01:13:00for a show.
01:13:03This is not
01:13:04a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:08Stop it!
01:13:19Casey.
01:13:22You're Echo.
01:13:23Does this mean
01:13:23Casey Reed
01:13:25is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song!
01:13:28She just ripped it off!
01:13:30Who's stealing now,
01:13:31Scarlet?
01:13:32Don't listen to her!
01:13:34I'm Echo!
01:13:37Echo!
01:13:38Echo!
01:13:38I didn't even
01:13:39make that version.
01:13:40I had to pay
01:13:40Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:41to send me
01:13:42one of her reject tracks.
01:13:43Go fix this.
01:13:47Now everyone
01:13:48knows the truth.
01:13:54She's the one
01:13:54that saved the song.
01:13:55No, that was me!
01:13:57I already did
01:13:58all the work.
01:13:58She's just
01:13:59taking the credit.
01:14:00I had to mix
01:14:01the track live,
01:14:02Dexter,
01:14:03so that makes it
01:14:04my intellectual property.
01:14:06You're welcome
01:14:07to put it
01:14:07on your next album,
01:14:08but you're going to
01:14:09have to pay me for it.
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think you
01:14:12could afford my fee.
01:14:14I think you might
01:14:15just be surprised.
01:14:17$200 million.
01:14:19$200 million?
01:14:21For one song?
01:14:22That's more than
01:14:23our entire album deal.
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:26And I want my name
01:14:27to be credited.
01:14:30Bad deal,
01:14:30Miss Reed.
01:14:32And one last thing.
01:14:34I want a public apology
01:14:36from Scarlett Hart
01:14:38and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we
01:14:41apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean,
01:14:43you don't have to.
01:14:44I could just go ahead
01:14:45and leave,
01:14:45and then Scarlett
01:14:46could finish the album,
01:14:47and Dexter's career
01:14:48could crash and burn.
01:14:49So,
01:14:50what will it be?
01:14:56The clock is ticking.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:01You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:11Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to
01:15:15apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything!
01:15:18Come on,
01:15:18let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth,
01:15:20Scarlett.
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo!
01:15:24I pretended,
01:15:25and I never wrote
01:15:25or produced
01:15:26any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:27They are happy!
01:15:31They are happy!
01:15:34Wait,
01:15:35that's not
01:15:36what I really meant!
01:15:37Dexter!
01:15:38She manipulated me!
01:15:40You're still my fiancƩ!
01:15:41Scarlett,
01:15:42you are exactly
01:15:43what we all see.
01:15:44You're a fucking bot,
01:15:45and you're a damn liar!
01:15:48Cassie is the one
01:15:50who built my career.
01:15:51Hell,
01:15:51she's the one
01:15:51who saved the damn song!
01:15:54She's the only one
01:15:55who ever cared about me
01:15:57or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement
01:16:00is off,
01:16:01and so is the record.
01:16:24Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract,
01:16:29and blacklisting you
01:16:30from the industry.
01:16:31Two years old.
01:16:38You got yourself
01:16:39a DL case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:53If we're not here for long,
01:16:58tell me where would we belong?
01:17:05My back is fast
01:17:07against the wall.
01:17:09I need you to know
01:17:12I'm not afraid to fall.
01:17:16Your name's on fire
01:17:19in my veins.
01:17:22It's burning
01:17:23through my chains.
01:17:27Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:32Who am I to look like?
01:17:37This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:41a thousand faces
01:17:42but you're not helping them get blind.
01:17:45Oh,
01:17:45oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:18:39Ms. Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:58You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh, my God!
01:19:46Hey. Hey. Hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love her, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:06save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:42Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:44The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:57If you don't make it through this, I won't never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free, and we can go our separate ways.
01:22:55We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:12Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I'm trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:20Reminds me.
01:24:23Reid Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:38You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08We do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:41This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:25:52Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:05But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:35Yes, ma'am.
01:26:38Yes, ma'am.
01:26:41Remember to smile like imagine a world where we're together.
01:26:58This goes on.
01:27:02There's stuff in the stockings.
01:27:05But I am still walking and wrong too.
01:27:11Was the fool who I hated.
01:27:14Now I'm recreated.
01:27:17Every time I look at the moon's fall.
01:27:21I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:35It's the best so far.
01:27:40We're just a little.
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am.
01:27:52Just a little.
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27:59My dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:03Yeah, yeah.
01:28:09I'm taking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:28:23Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where we're together.
01:28:31I'm still a mother.
01:28:39Nation of Heavens.
