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.
00:03:04I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:15I need champagne to space
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show,
00:03:28the world's hottest pop star,
00:03:31and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:37Wait for me, right here?
00:03:42Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:45but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:50A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:56Fans already love us.
00:03:57Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:01Scarlet Heart.
00:04:03Dexter 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,
00:04:10she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:13I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:16Hope you enjoy.
00:04:26Shit!
00:04:27The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:29I can't let Dex's show get ruined!
00:04:32Echo can fix this!
00:04:36Are you here?
00:04:37I 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.
00:04:56Your gear from the studio!
00:04:58Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:00Dad!
00:05:00We've talked about this.
00:05:02In public, I am not your daughter.
00:05:04And 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, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:16Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:17Thanks.
00:05:20When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and 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?
00:05:58Time to save Dex'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.
00:06:06The show is a disaster.
00:06:07The fans are waiting.
00:06:08Can you please find her?
00:06:09I need her.
00:06:09No, 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, can you please save this song?
00:06:36I already did.
00:06:40Wait.
00:06:42Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:47Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:55All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:58Casey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:02Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:04I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:08Thanks.
00:07:17Wait.
00:07:17Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:20Ah, and we're back.
00:07:22Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:27At least I thought so.
00:07:37Get ready, Dex.
00:07:38The next big single is coming to you in 3, 2, 1.
00:08:05Every time when I look, I remember the time I saw you write.
00:08:11One thing to remember you buy, the time I looked into your eye.
00:08:17The secret feel in the gate, I know I was running out of time.
00:08:29When I look, I canários look like.
00:08:40Oh yeah, I wonder if there's a certification.
00:08:47It can results, as it will be sent!
00:08:52The secret feel or perceive or perceive this differentè¡€ Taiwan.
00:08:56During your presence, my God deserves weight andania.
00:09:12How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:19Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hay!
00:09:33He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:38I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:52Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:55Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:59Yes!
00:10:03Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:06Yes!
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, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:27It was all a lie.
00:10:30All right, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my
00:10:37heart.
00:10:44Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:56You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:07Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:08Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:12I gave you everything.
00:11:16I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:19I owe her, okay?
00:11:22I-I-I-I-I owe her, all right? 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, okay? So-so-so that's why.
00:11:39What are you talking about?
00:11:42Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:50You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:54Well, I know she is.
00:11:56You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:01And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:05How could you believe her lies?
00:12:07Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:11You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:15Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:17To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:21To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:24He could have had that with me.
00:12:27This is all you ever really cared about, isn't it?
00:12:33Not loyalty.
00:12:35Just your music.
00:12:38What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:43This is my notebook.
00:12:46Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:51That's my notebook.
00:12:52How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:54I'm a musical genius.
00:12:57And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:01Keep it back.
00:13:02Dexter, she cut me.
00:13:04She what has gotten into you?
00:13:06I don't...
00:13:07I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:09Dexy, baby.
00:13:11I know all about girls like her.
00:13:14They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:17She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:20She has been for years.
00:13:22Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:25Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:27Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:29Okay?
00:13:29Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:33Put it in the car, please.
00:13:40Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:48So please just...
00:13:50Just tell me the truth.
00:13:51Okay, right now.
00:13:52Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:57Please.
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.
00:14:26Forever.
00:14:46The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:51Dexter Hayes popped a question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:03I gave Dex everything.
00:15:05I made his career, but...
00:15:08He doesn't want me.
00:15:09He never did.
00:15:11What happened, princess?
00:15:13Scarlet Hart.
00:15:14She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:18I'll come get you.
00:15:35It looks 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 fans, too.
00:15:51We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:54We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:58We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:01You'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.
00:16:12We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:14The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:18is 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 Hart 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.
00:16:53Dexter is coming.
00:16:55We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:58You psychos!
00:17:00Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:05Obviously 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, our 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.
00:17:24No 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
00:17:43and maybe it'll even be the lead single 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.
00:18:03Casey.
00:18:05Dexter, Dexter.
00:18:06Dexter, Dexter, help me.
00:18:08They hit me and then they tied me up
00:18:11and now they're trying to kill me.
00:18:13Okay, guys, let's...
00:18:15Let'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,
00:18:27all right, you'll put the gun down
00:18:29and 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.
00:18:36No, we're engaged now.
00:18:38You can't let me die.
00:18:40Dexter, all the love we ever had,
00:18:42all the memories,
00:18:43all the I love yous you told me,
00:18:46did they mean 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 don't choose Scarlet,
00:19:01then they both die.
00:19:02I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:04I have to break her heart.
00:19:07Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:10Dexter 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,
00:19:26go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:28Choose now or they both die.
00:19:30Dexter, Dexter, please.
00:19:32Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:35You dumped her.
00:19:36You chose me.
00:19:37Don't let them murder me.
00:19:39That's enough.
00:19:40We're pulling the trigger in three,
00:19:43two,
00:19:44one.
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, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:10Now you get to be the one
00:20:11who 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 gun down!
00:20:35Put the gun down!
00:20:37Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:39Hey, drop the gun.
00:20:50Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:51Let's go!
00:20:52Okay, oh, 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,
00:21:05I never needed your money!
00:21:07I was right to walk away,
00:21:09staying with you
00:21:10was the biggest mistake
00:21:11I've ever made!
00:21:13Look, Casey,
00:21:14you don't understand, all right?
00:21:15They were gonna make me...
00:21:16I'm done
00:21:18living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:21Goodbye.
00:21:27Casey, Casey.
00:21:28Hey.
00:21:36Casey.
00:21:37Casey, stop!
00:21:39Please!
00:21:39Please, stop!
00:21:39Please, please.
00:21:40We're gonna go...
00:21:41Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:42without all this?
00:21:43You should be asking yourself
00:21:45that same question.
00:21:47Good luck staying at the top
00:21:48of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:49You're delusional.
00:21:51He doesn't need you.
00:21:52He has Echo.
00:21:54Yeah.
00:21:55Sure he does.
00:21:56Fame really has changed you,
00:21:59Dexter Hayes.
00:22:03Fame changed me?
00:22:05Okay.
00:22:06Okay.
00:22:07And what about you?
00:22:08You're the one that's been
00:22:09sneaking around behind my back
00:22:10this whole time.
00:22:13I never betrayed you
00:22:15how you betrayed me
00:22:16by putting that ring
00:22:17on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:19You chose her
00:22:20and you left me for dead!
00:22:22No, Casey,
00:22:23you don't understand.
00:22:24I was trying to...
00:22:49Oh my god,
00:22:50that's Ed Reed,
00:22:51the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:55So sorry I didn't come sooner,
00:22:57baby girl.
00:23:00You're here now.
00:23:02Take me home.
00:23:14We came from Amelia!
00:23:16We're here for you!
00:23:17We're here for you!
00:23:20You have everything you want!
00:23:21You have everything you want!
00:23:22You have mine!
00:23:23I was trying to...
00:23:24No!
00:23:25Casey!
00:23:25You have everything you want!
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:33You have everything you want!
00:23:36Casey!
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:38Let me explain!
00:23:44Scarlet.
00:23:45Mrs. Hayes,
00:23:46you should have seen it.
00:23:48I almost died.
00:23:48And that desperate skank
00:23:50cheated on Dexter
00:23:51with some sugar daddy.
00:23:53I always knew
00:23:54she was a gold digger.
00:23:56She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:59Then when that failed,
00:24:00she went after the CEO
00:24:01of the biggest music label
00:24:03in the world.
00:24:04Dexter,
00:24:05she never cared about you.
00:24:07She's been lying to you
00:24:08this entire time.
00:24:09All she ever cared about
00:24:10was money and power.
00:24:12I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:14But the whole time,
00:24:15she was in bed
00:24:16with the CEO
00:24:17of Reed Records.
00:24:18Ah!
00:24:23Forget him, Princess.
00:24:25Hmm?
00:24:26You are much too talented
00:24:27to be running
00:24:28some rockstar's errands.
00:24:30How could I be so blind?
00:24:34Three days from now
00:24:36at the annual
00:24:37Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:24:38announcing you
00:24:39as the new CEO
00:24:41of Reed Records
00:24:42and my daughter,
00:24:43the heiress to my empire.
00:24:46It's time to show
00:24:47the world
00:24:47who you really are.
00:24:57My back is pressed
00:25:05My back is pressed
00:25:12No, no!
00:25:14No, no!
00:25:15Okay, guys,
00:25:16cut the track.
00:25:20The damn thing
00:25:21is in the wrong key.
00:25:23Look, guys,
00:25:24we have one week,
00:25:26all right,
00:25:26to finish this song
00:25:27before the release.
00:25:28The Echo that I know
00:25:30can put together
00:25:30a perfect studio mix
00:25:32in hours.
00:25:33You can't even fix
00:25:34a simple beat
00:25:35or a key?
00:25:37What's going on?
00:25:39Look, Scarlet,
00:25:40I just gotta ask,
00:25:41are you
00:25:43really
00:25:43Echo?
00:25:47Are you
00:25:48really,
00:25:49Echo?
00:25:50Dexy,
00:25:53of course I am.
00:25:55It's just
00:25:56your new assistant.
00:25:58He's been messing,
00:25:59he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:01He's obviously trying to
00:26:02sabotage our new album.
00:26:03I mean, look.
00:26:07Last saved by Max.
00:26:09Yeah, that's because
00:26:10you don't know how to...
00:26:11Okay, you know what?
00:26:12Echo would never put her name
00:26:13on garbage like this.
00:26:16Mr. Hayes,
00:26:17please, listen.
00:26:18It's...
00:26:19It's Dexter.
00:26:20And I'm sorry,
00:26:21but my last assistant
00:26:23would have never
00:26:23screwed me over like that.
00:26:25You're fired.
00:26:48Good luck staying
00:26:50at the top of the charts
00:26:51once I'm gone.
00:26:52Writing love songs
00:26:53used to be so easy
00:26:55with Casey here.
00:27:08We're sorry.
00:27:10You have reached a number
00:27:11that has been disconnected
00:27:12or is no longer in service.
00:27:14All right.
00:27:15She broke my heart
00:27:16and she moved on.
00:27:18So why can't I do the same?
00:27:38Look what we just got.
00:27:39An invitation
00:27:40to the biggest industry
00:27:42event of the year.
00:27:43The Reed Records Music
00:27:45Hall 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
00:27:59a track in hours.
00:28:00We have to go.
00:28:02This is a personal invitation
00:28:03from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:07Okay, look.
00:28:09I know what you're thinking,
00:28:11but Casey probably
00:28:12meant nothing to him.
00:28:13He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:15I'm sure he has a whole roster
00:28:17of scorned assistants
00:28:18lining up to get on their knees
00:28:19and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:21You have to go
00:28:22and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:24He could make
00:28:24or break our careers.
00:28:27Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:29Of course I am.
00:28:32We are the industry's
00:28:34it couple.
00:28:35So now,
00:28:36forget about that stupid
00:28:37little assistant of yours
00:28:38and start getting ready.
00:28:40I mean,
00:28:41what was so special
00:28:42about her anyway?
00:28:43Her
00:28:43coarse
00:28:45tangled hair
00:28:46or
00:28:47her
00:28:48dull
00:28:49crusty skin
00:28:51or
00:28:51maybe those
00:28:53hideous
00:28:54god-awful clothes?
00:28:57I'm Echo.
00:28:59I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:01And I'm taking back
00:29:02everything that's mine.
00:29:12How does it feel
00:29:13to be at the event
00:29:14of the year
00:29:15as the industry's
00:29:16new it couple?
00:29:17We're honored.
00:29:18And with Reed Records
00:29:18on our side,
00:29:19our album is sure
00:29:20to be the number one
00:29:21hit of the decade.
00:29:22Are you excited
00:29:23to meet this mysterious
00:29:25new CEO
00:29:26of Reed Records?
00:29:27I hear Ed Reed
00:29:29is introducing
00:29:29the whole world
00:29:30to his daughter,
00:29:31the heiress
00:29:32to the Reed fortune.
00:29:33Do you think
00:29:33she's going to
00:29:34be the new CEO?
00:29:35I don't know.
00:29:35Who is this
00:29:37mysterious Harris?
00:29:38She is Ed Reed's
00:29:39daughter.
00:29:40I'll bet she'll
00:29:40be making a
00:29:41very splashy
00:29:43entrance.
00:29:43Whoever she is,
00:29:44we need to impress her,
00:29:45okay?
00:29:45She could be our
00:29:46ticket to a number
00:29:46one album.
00:29:47Look!
00:29:48Here she is now!
00:29:59No fucking way!
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:31Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:36Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:39I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:42So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:00Ignore her, but instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:07You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:09All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:14She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:20hit.
00:31:37Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:39I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:42but this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:46I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:49But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:56Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:00I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:06And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:11I'd love to see you try.
00:32:16Jealous?
00:32:18I loved him and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:25You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:34I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:45Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:53Hmm. I got that right.
00:32:55Hmm. Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me?
00:33:02Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:09How dare you?
00:33:12Careful.
00:33:13The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:17You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:20You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:25-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:26But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:29And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:36hard.
00:33:36Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:41Mr. Reed. Hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:49Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:56Oh, Dexter Hayes. Of course I can.
00:33:58Good.
00:34:00Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:05daughter.
00:34:06Ah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:09Eh, well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet
00:34:14Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:23I think we could really make something special.
00:34:25Yeah.
00:34:25Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:29And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:37make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:40Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:42The new CEO is already here.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:57Casey.
00:34:58Casey.
00:34:59Casey.
00:35:00Casey.
00:35:02Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:35:08instead you just showed up here.
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:16But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:21Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:25Did 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 gonna stay.
00:35:39You know, Scarlett, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:47night.
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her. Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right
00:35:53here, right now.
00:35:54Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no
00:36:01power here.
00:36:01Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:09later?
00:36:10Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:24Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:32Read Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:37But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:49on one of them.
00:36:51Because she never wanted to gain fame through her mind.
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:06Alright, this is it. He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:10I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:15And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:18My princess.
00:37:21And the light of my life.
00:37:23My daughter.
00:37:25Casey Reed.
00:37:29What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:41No.
00:37:43No.
00:37:44No.
00:37:44No.
00:37:44No.
00:37:44No.
00:37:47No.
00:37:49No.
00:37:50No.
00:37:50No.
00:37:50No.
00:37:50No.
00:37:51No.
00:37:52No.
00:37:59No.
00:38:00That's the Reed heiress.
00:38:02Holy shit.
00:38:03She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:04She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:08Scarlet Hart is delusional!
00:38:09delusional, insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face? She just committed career suicide.
00:38:16Mr. 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.
00:38:25There's something from the old man, and now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in 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.
00:38:44This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:48She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:53How could I be so blind?
00:39:02What suits you?
00:39:03Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:11Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:24I just, I still miss you.
00:39:34Ah.
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt, but I mean, you
00:39:46of 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?
00:39:52Why 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, you'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...
00:40:23Look, I...
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay? I guess, why, why are you here? Are you here just, is this just
00:40:28some...
00:40:28Royal way to get revenge? Tank my career?
00:40:33Oh, tank your career. I made his career. I loved you, Dexter. You might have found out who my father
00:40:43is today,
00:40:43but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:46Wait.
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, no, no, no, no, no. Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new
00:41:11CEO.
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:21Read 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, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:46not 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.
00:41:54You don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter. She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with
00:42:00no real talent.
00:42:02Scarlet is Echo. She can produce songs.
00:42:05Wait, wait, Casey. Casey.
00:42:06She 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, all right?
00:42:19I'm done talking about this.
00:42:42I've known you for years.
00:43:03I'm still missing you.
00:43:13I'm still, I'm still, I'm still missing you
00:43:27I'm still missing you
00:43:31We're intertwined, heart and mind
00:43:36I'm still missing you
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
00:43:55Casey's wrong about me
00:43:56I never gave up on us
00:43:57She's got another truth
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex
00:44:11Fine, but let's not talk
00:44:21What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancé 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
00:44:57What we had
00:44:59I've been trying to
00:45:01But being this close again
00:45:02It feels
00:45:05Impossible
00:45:05You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:08But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:16I don't care
00:45:17About the fans
00:45:18I 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
00:45:23That you want to be with me
00:45:26We'll be together
00:45:31We can tease each other all day
00:45:35Until you finally admit
00:45:37That you
00:45:39Still
00:45:40Love me
00:46:04You're right
00:46:04I am like an instrument
00:46:06The way I let you play me
00:46:08After what you did
00:46:09Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:12Listen to me
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you
00:46:14I do not want to be with Scala
00:46:17Hello?
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:20Thank you
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:22Hold on
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag
00:46:28A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:30I mean
00:46:31We have a Dexter Hayes size hold to fill
00:46:34And he could be the next big thing
00:46:35It's not safe
00:46:36Casey
00:46:36You don't need him
00:46:38He'll hurt you
00:46:39No, no, no, no, no
00:46:39I don't think you
00:46:41Of all people
00:46:42Get to tell me what I need
00:46:44Casey
00:46:45Casey
00:46:46Casey
00:46:48Daisy has every right
00:46:50To be angry with me
00:46:51After what I did
00:46:51I have to prove
00:46:53She can trust me again
00:47:05Perfect timing
00:47:06Make yourself comfortable
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me
00:47:09On self-short notice
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:11Women 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
00:47:21But
00:47:23You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:28Wow
00:47:30I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:33Actually
00:47:34I 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
00:47:40Of course
00:47:42But
00:47:43You're not in a hurry
00:47:44Why don't we toast first
00:47:45To 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
00:48:17Actually
00:48:18Love even more than that
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:24Asshole 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
00:48:40And demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:46Absolutely
00:48:46And a fraud
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:53No matter how talented you are
00:48:56I won't need a label to sign me
00:48:58Not when I can read records
00:48:59Or myself
00:49:03Don't be shy Casey
00:49:04I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:05The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:07To see my new mistress
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos
00:49:09All over the tabloids
00:49:11Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:13How you slept your way to the top
00:49:16Your poor father
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:19But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:22You're delusional
00:49:24Stay away from me
00:49:25You're fine
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha
00:49:27Hey
00:49:29You can't get your fucking hands off
00:49:31What?
00:49:32I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:34Baxter Hayes
00:49:35Are you okay?
00:49:38I'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
00:49:48You're just a wash up addict
00:49:50And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:52Okay?
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 Casey Ring
00:50:12And she's the future of the industry
00:50:14That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:17Your career is dead
00:50:19Sasha
00:50:19I'm not sure of that
00:50:22Let's go
00:50:30Let's go
00:50:34Give me your hand
00:50:42Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:44Sasha Silver is literally
00:50:45My business is none of your concern
00:50:47If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:49What 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, okay
00:50:55I know
00:50:57Newsflash
00:50:57I'm not your assistant anymore
00:51:00So it's not your concern
00:51:02Where I am
00:51:03Or 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
00:51:17The minute that you
00:51:18Stop making stupid
00:51:19Fucking decisions
00:51:22And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:26You're way
00:51:28Too interested
00:51:30In my personal life
00:51:32Dex
00:51:33Won't your fiancé 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
00:51:48And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:02So
00:52:04What am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:09And be the pop star's secret side piece again
00:52:15I should push him away
00:52:17But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:19You were never the side piece
00:52:23And you know it
00:52:28Boss!
00:52:34I have news!
00:52:37Thank you for your help today
00:52:39Dexter
00:52:41Please
00:52:42Stop following me
00:52:46Or else it's gonna get harder and harder
00:52:49To walk away
00:52:59Great timing
00:53:01As always
00:53:02Why are you even here?
00:53:04Done 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 rights to his music
00:53:18I'll give you back 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
00:53:37All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry out for everyone to see
00:53:42He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:43Cancelled
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
00:53:57Or 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
00:54:16Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:18At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:24She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:26Before 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
00:54:42If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:44I don't know how she thinks she's going to 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
00:55:08Or 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 going to go as Echo
00:55:24Oh, you're going to do it right
00:55:27With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see my princess
00:55:34For the queen that she is
00:55:39Invest at
00:55:41Mrs. Hayes
00:55:55It's so good to see you again
00:55:59How's Dexter?
00:56:00Engaged
00:56:01Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:07And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:10So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:13She's a musical genius
00:56:15We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:18Of course
00:56:19I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:21A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:30Please don't touch that
00:56:31Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:35Ugh, it's you
00:56:37Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:43You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:46I have to ask you to leave
00:56:47Now
00:56:52I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:56I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:59Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:57:01We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:05Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:06Excuse me?
00:57:08I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé
00:57:11And creative collaborator
00:57:12And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:15Yeah
00:57:16You're right
00:57:18In that case
00:57:19You should have this
00:57:28No!
00:57:32Oh my god!
00:57:39Oops
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands
00:57:42My bad
00:57:45Are you insane?
00:57:46You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:50Security!
00:57:51Take this woman away!
00:57:53Hold on just one second
00:57:55Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh my god
00:57:58I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:01You need to set that up for me?
00:58:02Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:58:04Okay
00:58:09It's all yours now
00:58:18Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:23We'll find a better option
00:58:30Like this one
00:58:31Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:34This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:37The genius producer
00:58:39Hey
00:58:41Actually
00:58:42Actually
00:58:43Actually
00:58:43This guitar is no longer available
00:58:45In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:50I'm gonna just
00:58:53My apologies
00:58:54Apologies
00:58:55Apologies
00:58:56No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We saw it first.
00:58:59Look, look, we just want the one guitar. I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement.
00:59:04You could pay all you want for the guitar, but it's not going to stop Scarlett from choking on the
00:59:10stage.
00:59:14How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:22That's enough.
00:59:26Hi, Dexie.
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce. You need to do something.
00:59:36Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter.
00:59:48The least you could do is show her a little respect.
00:59:53You know what, actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:56I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
01:00:03Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt.
01:00:05I knew you would support me.
01:00:07Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale.
01:00:10You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs, and I'll pay it whatever it is
01:00:14right here and now.
01:00:16Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:22Wait, what?
01:00:23What?
01:00:26I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:30Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:34You did this for me?
01:00:36You really think I need a music store?
01:00:39Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:42But I'm someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:47Dexter!
01:00:48Are you insane?
01:00:50Jane, she's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're going to make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:00Oh, it's okay.
01:01:01Scarlett could have it for free, as long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:09Casey, I am not stooping to your level.
01:01:11And besides, we're late for hair and makeup.
01:01:14I will talk to you about this later.
01:01:18You will regret this.
01:01:20Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:23She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:27Thanks, Mom.
01:01:33One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:37It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:40Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:43Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:50Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Secret?
01:01:58Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:01:59What secret?
01:02:03Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:05No.
01:02:06That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:13But not anymore.
01:02:16I don't need you.
01:02:27Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:33Yes, sir?
01:02:36Oh, one more thing.
01:02:38She's fired.
01:02:41Yes, sir.
01:02:45Dexter, you can't do this.
01:02:46I love you.
01:03:00Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart, you're on M5.
01:03:03The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:07Did you hear that?
01:03:08Millions of fans are going to be hearing your song.
01:03:11It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:13The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:16I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:21All right, guys, it's time.
01:03:22Let's go.
01:03:23No.
01:03:24Scarlett!
01:03:38You can't start the show without me.
01:03:44I knew you'd make it.
01:03:45Of course she did.
01:03:46Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out.
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlett.
01:03:52You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up.
01:03:54I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when
01:03:59you yourself have none.
01:04:02I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:06Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:10Wake a leg, Scarlett.
01:04:12Or should I say Echo?
01:04:15Don't choke.
01:04:18Hope you don't choke.
01:04:40The playback's down.
01:04:42The track's gone completely white.
01:04:44You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make that version.
01:04:52I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:04:55Go fix this.
01:04:56Now.
01:04:59This is bad.
01:05:00All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:03We're going to open the broadcast and the label's going to drop us.
01:05:06What are we going to do?
01:05:08I have an idea.
01:05:11You're Echo, right?
01:05:23Yes, it's true.
01:05:25I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator.
01:05:31Then prove it.
01:05:33Go ahead.
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now?
01:05:38Come on.
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:44I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:46I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:49This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:51I must have another file I can play.
01:05:53I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:56Of course.
01:05:58Watch me work my magic.
01:06:17And that's how it's done.
01:06:19She'll must go on.
01:06:21Nice try.
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:24You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:28Okay, can you boost the treble?
01:06:29On the EQ in the middle.
01:06:31And can you hand from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah.
01:06:43Damn, I guess you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping the...
01:06:49Don't listen to her!
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:58If I didn't know any better, I think you were trying to sabotage me.
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet, why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real.
01:07:05Okay, you're...
01:07:05You're Echo.
01:07:07Okay?
01:07:07So, just fix the track.
01:07:10Yeah.
01:07:11Come on, Echo.
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:23Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:25You have to fix this.
01:07:27I could, if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:33Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:39But it's actually your big night, so...
01:07:40Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Echo!
01:07:48Echo!
01:07:49Echo!
01:07:50Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:53Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:56It's that simple.
01:07:57You know how to do this.
01:07:59You really think your fiancée is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:09I can't let her expose me.
01:08:10Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:09:01Oh, my God, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on, Echo.
01:09:07Show them your talent.
01:09:08Keep going.
01:09:09Get off the stage!
01:09:10You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:14All right, look.
01:09:17It's done.
01:09:19You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am.
01:09:26That whole career that I fought for for however how many years?
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:41And who knows?
01:09:42Maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records.
01:09:49Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:52Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:55Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:58There's no saving the song.
01:09:59Now it's over.
01:10:01It's over.
01:10:13It's over.
01:10:16Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:20No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other, everybody, hey!
01:10:24It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:41I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:47If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:50For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:10:53And if you don't?
01:10:55Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:59Happily.
01:11:00Hmm.
01:11:04Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave.
01:11:08It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track.
01:11:12Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:15Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:19I know.
01:11:20I know.
01:11:27I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:34This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:38Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:42This moment's got a sting.
01:11:47Good.
01:11:51Now, let's make a hit.
01:11:59Let's fucking go!
01:12:01Ha ha ha!
01:12:16Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:21So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23I can't.
01:12:24I don't have much.
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 has Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:38That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:41I'm not the kind for a show.
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:49Stop!
01:12:49Stop it!
01:12:50Stop it!
01:12:50Stop it!
01:12:58I love you.
01:13:01Casey.
01:13:04You're Echo.

01:17:38uh
01:18:21Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:31You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:39You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:18:46Dexter was going to be mine! I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:00But you had to get in my way.
01:19:05That won't happen again.
01:19:07Percy!
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:09No!
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 as 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 why 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.
01:19:54Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:19:59Listen, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:03And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:09Your love.
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:12I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:19Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:22Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping, but 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, his life might as well be over.
01:21:16Oh, hopefully.
01:21:17He'll recover.
01:21:18But for now, all he needs is rest.
01:21:21That's it.
01:21:23Okay?
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, I 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 miss you.
01:22:13I miss him, too.
01:22:15But everything we've put each other through, can 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.
01:22:36Listen.
01:22:37No.
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'm 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, and 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.
01:23:45Me neither.
01:23:48You're my little muse.
01:23:53My pop star.
01:23:58Which reminds me...
01:24:03Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:09The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:13You saved their CEO.
01:24:16You deserve it.
01:24:16You're the reason I sing.
01:24:19You're the reason I sing.
01:24:20I don't want to song write or do any of this if 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 or what you have or any of that
01:24:39stuff.
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.
01:25:21This 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, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:25:49my life.
01:25:52So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:09You are one hell of a show.
01:26:18You are one hell of a show.
01:26:19A lonely time.
01:26:21You are the only time I remember to smile.
01:26:23I imagine a world where together.
01:26:38This goes on
01:26:41The stuff in the stockings
01:26:44But I am still walking
01:26:47You're all through
01:26:51Was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreating
01:26:56Every time I look at the moon fall
01:27:01I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:09That it's time for you and me
01:27:15Cause the bed so far
01:27:19We just let go
01:27:25Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
