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

00:33:13hot shit

00:42:44I've known you for years
00:42:47all of those years
00:42:52I've known you for years
00:43:01In a twine, lost in my eyes
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:10I'm still, and I'm still
00:43:14I'm still missing you
00:43:23I'm still missing you
00:43:29It's a twine, heart and mind
00:43:33I'm still missing you
00:43:42I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:45You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:47I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me
00:43:52I never gave up on us
00:43:54She's got another truth
00:43:56I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:06Fine
00:44:09Let's not talk
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:29Not anymore
00:44:30I'm your former boss now
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:39I don't give a fuck about the contract
00:44:41I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:44And I know that you want me too
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:50What we had
00:44:52I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:09I don't care about the fans
00:45:11I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:13I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:15If you tell me
00:45:16That you want to be with me
00:45:19We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other over
00:45:28Until you finally admit
00:45:30That you
00:45:32Still
00:45:34Love me
00:45:57You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:45:59The way I let you play me
00:46:02After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:06I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:10Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:13Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:15Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:18The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Haye-sized hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:28It's not safe, Casey
00:46:30You don't need him
00:46:31He'll hurt you
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:34Of all people
00:46:35Get to tell me what I need
00:46:37Casey
00:46:39Casey, Casey
00:46:42Daisy has every right
00:46:43To be angry with me
00:46:44After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46She can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect Simon
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me on such short notice
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:07I've been an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:12I don't know what that means
00:47:14But
00:47:16You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:23I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:29So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:33Of course
00:47:35But
00:47:37You're not in a hurry
00:47:37Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership?
00:47:57Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:12Love even more than that
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18Asshole pervs
00:48:19My hair
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:27Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:46No matter how talented you are
00:48:49I want me to label to sign me
00:48:51Not when I can't read records
00:48:53For myself
00:48:56Don't be shy Casey
00:48:57I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:00To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03All over the tabloids
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:10Your poor father
00:49:11He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:17Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey
00:49:23Break your fucking hands off
00:49:24What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:27Extra Hayes
00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine
00:49:36What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that
00:49:40I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:42You're just a wash up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:51Okay I'm sorry
00:49:52Jesus
00:49:54We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:49:56You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:49:59I mean what the fuck
00:50:03Her name
00:50:04Is Casey Wee
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07Of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly
00:50:09Fucking in
00:50:11Your career is dead
00:50:12Sasha
00:50:13I'm not sure of that
00:50:16Let's go
00:50:24Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little
00:50:39My business
00:50:40Is none of your concern
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:43What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:45Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:51I'm not your assistant
00:50:54Anymore
00:50:54So
00:50:55It's not your concern
00:50:56Where I am
00:50:57Or what I'm doing
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:59So
00:50:59Stop
00:51:01Following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:09Stop following you
00:51:10The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:13Fucking decisions
00:51:15And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:23Too interested
00:51:24In my personal life
00:51:26Dex
00:51:27Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiance be jealous
00:51:33I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:37Want to marry
00:51:39Scarlet
00:51:41You don't fucking mess
00:51:42And you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:55Isn't that the point?
00:51:56So
00:51:58What am I supposed to do?
00:52:00Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:03And be
00:52:03The pop star's
00:52:05Secret side piece again
00:52:09I should push him away
00:52:11But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:17And you know it
00:52:28Boss
00:52:28I have news
00:52:31Thank you for your help today
00:52:33Dexter
00:52:36Please stop following me
00:52:41Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:53Great timing
00:52:55As always
00:52:56Why are you even here?
00:52:58Done what you asked
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:02No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:05His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:07Good
00:53:09Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:12I'm going to give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:19I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:21Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:25But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:28I could have handled Sasha
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry
00:53:35He had out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled
00:53:38Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:49He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:56For me?
00:53:58Maybe
00:53:58He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:00Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:08The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:10Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:13At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:18She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:21Before it can expose her lies
00:54:22She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:24Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:28Much less produce a hit track
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:35Let alone marry her
00:54:37If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:39I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:43I think it's time
00:54:45The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:51You wanna go to the UMAs
00:54:53As Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough
00:54:59It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:02The world
00:55:04Or Dexter
00:55:08This isn't about him
00:55:11He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:13Well my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:17But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:19Oh you're gonna do it right
00:55:21With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:26I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:33You're the best dad
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged
00:55:56Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:08She's a musical genius
00:56:10We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:13Of course
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:24Please don't touch that
00:56:26Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Ugh, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:36Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:40I have to ask you to leave
00:56:42Now
00:56:47I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:51I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:54Because of your nepo-baby connections
00:56:56We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:01Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé and creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:10Yeah
00:57:11You're right
00:57:12Wait, in that case
00:57:14You should have this
00:57:22No!
00:57:27Oh my god!
00:57:33Oops
00:57:34Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:39Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:44Security!
00:57:45Take this woman away!
00:57:47Hold on just one second
00:57:48To Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my god
00:57:53I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:55You think you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:57:58Okay
00:58:01Just kidding
00:58:04It's all yours now
00:58:13Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:17We'll find a better option
00:58:24Like this one
00:58:26Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:29This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:32The genius producer
00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:36Actually, actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:40In fact, my entire collection
00:58:42Is on hold for the new owner
00:58:45I'm gonna just
00:58:48My apologies
00:58:49My apologies
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:52We saw it first
00:58:54Look, look
00:58:55We just want the one guitar
00:58:56I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:58You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:00But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:02From choking
00:59:04On the stage
00:59:08How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:16That's enough
00:59:20Hi, Dexy
00:59:23Are you okay?
00:59:26Bixter
00:59:26She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:29You need to do something
00:59:31Mom
00:59:32Do you really want to have a conversation
00:59:34Right here and now
00:59:35About the current status
00:59:35Of my engagement
00:59:38Scarlett's talent
00:59:39As a producer
00:59:39Is the reason
00:59:40You're as famous
00:59:41As you are, Dexter
00:59:43The least you could do
00:59:45Is show her
00:59:45A little respect
00:59:48You know what?
00:59:49Actually
00:59:49I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:51I should
00:59:52Show respect
00:59:53To
00:59:53The one person
00:59:54Who's always been there for me
00:59:57Please ring up the guitar
00:59:59For Miss Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:01Mr. Hayes
01:00:03It's not for sale
01:00:04You know
01:00:05Why don't you ask
01:00:06The new owner
01:00:07How much it costs
01:00:08And I'll pay it
01:00:08Whatever it is
01:00:09Right here and now
01:00:11Miss Reed
01:00:12As the new owner
01:00:13Of the store
01:00:14How much would you like
01:00:15To charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry
01:00:22I'm the new owner
01:00:25Consider it a late birthday gift
01:00:27For my former assistant
01:00:28You did this for me
01:00:31You really think I need a music store?
01:00:34Well, as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:36You probably don't know
01:00:37But I'm someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter!
01:00:43Are you insane?
01:00:45She's not even a real musician
01:00:47And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay
01:00:56Scarlett could have it for free
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit
01:00:59That she's working on
01:01:03Casey
01:01:04I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides
01:01:07We're late for hair and makeup
01:01:09I will talk to you about this later
01:01:13You will regret this
01:01:15Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:18She's just a pretty face
01:01:19With no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, Mom
01:01:28One
01:01:29I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:31It's Miss Reed
01:01:32And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:34Two
01:01:35My birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:41So your gift means nothing
01:01:45Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53What are you talking about?
01:01:54What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:00No
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:08But not anymore
01:02:11I don't need you
01:02:22Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:26To her collection
01:02:28Yes, sir
01:02:31Oh, one more thing
01:02:33She's fired
01:02:36Yes, sir
01:02:37Thank you
01:02:40Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:41I love you
01:02:55Mr. Hayes
01:02:56Ms. Hart
01:02:57You're on in five
01:02:57The broadcast will begin live
01:02:59Thank you
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:03Millions of fans are going to be hearing your song
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:07The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:16All right, guys, it's time
01:03:17Let's go
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:33You can't start the show without me
01:03:39I knew you'd make it
01:03:40Of course she did
01:03:41Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:46You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:49I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:56none
01:03:57I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:01Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:05Wake a leg, Scarlet
01:04:07Or should I say, Echo
01:04:10Don't choke
01:04:13Hope you don't choke
01:04:35The playback's down
01:04:37The track's gone
01:04:38Completely white
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:51Now
01:04:54This is bad
01:04:55All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:57We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:04:59And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea
01:05:06Your Echo
01:05:08Right?
01:05:18Yes
01:05:19It's true
01:05:21I'm Echo
01:05:21The award-winning producer
01:05:23And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:27Then prove it
01:05:29Go ahead
01:05:29Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:33Come on
01:05:34You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean
01:05:36This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:46I must have another file I can play
01:05:48I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:52Of course
01:05:54Watch me work my magic
01:06:13And that's how it's done
01:06:15Show must go on
01:06:16Nice try
01:06:18Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:23Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:26And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:31Yeah
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping them
01:06:45Don't listen to her
01:06:46She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:49And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:53If I didn't know any better
01:06:55I think you were trying to sabotage me
01:06:57Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:58Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real, okay?
01:07:01You're Echo
01:07:02Okay, so just fix the track
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:06Come on, Echo
01:07:08What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:18Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:21You have to fix this
01:07:23I could
01:07:23If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:26Breed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:28Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:34But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:36Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:38And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:49Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:52It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:54You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:02Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:04I can't let her expose me
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:57Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:04Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:10Alright, look
01:09:13It's done
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:20Yeah, I am
01:09:21That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:25Yeah
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:34That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:37And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:40As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song
01:09:55Mom, now it's over, it's over
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:16No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other
01:10:19Hey, it's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:32Mom, mom, stop
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:42If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:51Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:55Happily
01:10:59Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:08Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:11Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:14I know
01:11:16I know
01:11:17I am not the kind for sure
01:11:30This is not a one-time thing
01:11:34Lights are low, but I still will
01:11:38This morning's got a sting
01:11:43Good
01:11:46Now let's make a hit
01:11:55Let's fucking go
01:12:12Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:17So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I can't, I don't have much
01:12:21You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:25I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar
01:12:36You're not the kind for sure
01:12:40This is not a one-time thing
01:12:44Stop! Stop it!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:57Casey
01:13:00You're Echo
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed
01:13:03Is Echo?
01:13:05This is my song
01:13:07She just ripped it off
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:10Don't listen to her
01:13:13I'm Echo
01:13:16I didn't even make that version
01:13:18I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:21Go fix this
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:32She's the one that saved the song
01:13:34No, that was me
01:13:36I already did all the work
01:13:37She's just taking the credit
01:13:38I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:41So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:44You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:46But you're going to have to pay me for it
01:13:48Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised
01:13:56$200 million
01:13:57$200 million for one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:11And one last thing
01:14:12I want a public apology from Scarlet Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to
01:14:22I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:23And then Scarlet can finish the album
01:14:25And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:27So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking
01:14:38I was wrong about you
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song
01:14:43I'm sorry
01:14:47And you?
01:14:48Do it
01:14:50Apologize to her
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:52Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything!
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it
01:14:57Tell the world the truth
01:14:58Scarlet
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo
01:15:02I pretended
01:15:03And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:06They are happy!
01:15:10I was wrong about you
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song
01:15:15I'm sorry
01:15:19And you?
01:15:21Do it
01:15:22Apologize to her
01:15:23That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything
01:15:28Come on, let's hear it
01:15:29Tell the world the truth
01:15:31Scarlet
01:15:32Fine
01:15:33I'm not Echo
01:15:34I pretended
01:15:35And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:38They are happy!
01:15:41They are happy!
01:15:44Wait
01:15:45That's not what I really meant
01:15:47Dexter
01:15:49She manipulated me
01:15:51You're still my fiancé
01:15:52You believe
01:15:52Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you
01:15:55Fuckin' plot
01:15:56And you're a damn liar
01:15:59Casey
01:15:59Is the one
01:16:00Who built my career
01:16:01Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:16:04She's the only one
01:16:06Who ever cared about me
01:16:07Or loved me
01:16:10Our engagement
01:16:11Is off
01:16:11And so is the record
01:16:35Please don't cancel the album
01:16:37The album
01:16:38Terminating your contract
01:16:40And blackness in you from the industry
01:16:42Career's over
01:16:48Got yourself a deal case
01:16:58Hit it
01:17:04If we're not here for long
01:17:09Tell me where would we belong
01:17:15My back is passed against the wall
01:17:20I need you to know
01:17:23I need you to know
01:17:23I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire
01:17:29In my veins
01:17:32It's burning through my chains
01:17:37Who are you to tell me why
01:17:43Who am I to live like
01:17:47This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:51But none of them can burn
01:18:06But none of them can burn
01:18:21I need you to know
01:18:22And there's a thousand places
01:18:32Who are you to know
01:18:45I need you to know
01:18:46My whole life
01:18:46What is the rock
01:18:47I need you to know
01:18:50Even if I know
01:18:50You're a rock
01:18:51I need you to know
01:18:51I need you to know
01:18:51I need you to know
01:18:51The whole world wants to know,
01:18:52are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:58and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry
01:19:02and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:11You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine!
01:19:18I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:29But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:47No! No!
01:19:49Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey. Hey. Hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:01You still love her, don't you?
01:20:04Dexter saved my life, but...
01:20:07as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:10You know, if you say so, but...
01:20:13Have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:16It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together,
01:20:35they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean...
01:20:42A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:50Hm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives
01:20:55want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:58and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:07Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:38He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he needs is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:15Why?
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:43But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:01And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No!
01:23:06No!
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20There's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:36That horrible night when I chose Scarlet...
01:23:40I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I...
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:47I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:13Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:22My pop star.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:28Reminds me?
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wildlight Festival.
01:24:38The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:47You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:53You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are, or what you have, or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17You do it together.
01:25:22I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:36I love you, too.
01:25:47I love you, too.
01:25:50It's the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:54Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:58Yes, ma'am.
01:26:01Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:26:18my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:28So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:48Every time I remember to smile, I imagine our way together.
01:27:07This goes on.
01:27:11There's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking along.
01:27:16Do you?
01:27:20Do you?
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated?
01:27:23Now I'm recreated.
01:27:25Every time I look at the moonfall, I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:36Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:43Cause the best so far was just a little.
01:27:53Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I am just a little.
01:28:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:16I've been taking and talking, but I will be walking.
01:28:25In the mirror of heaven, my heart is still picking.
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile, I imagine when we're together
