00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Cade, so you make me feel you are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control, my little man.
00:01:27I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:01:54I'm going to call you in front of everybody.
00:02:10Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:31His echo and his Casey.
00:02:36You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:25And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:38Wait for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts.
00:03:46But I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:52A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us.
00:03:58Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart.
00:04:04Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:06She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:14I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:17Hope you enjoy.
00:04:27Shit! The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:30I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:33Echo can fix this.
00:04:37Are you here?
00:04:38I need your help.
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:56There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:03In public, I am not your daughter.
00:05:05And I'm not Echo.
00:05:07But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:09You made him the star he is.
00:05:13I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:14But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:18Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:21When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:45Oh my god.
00:05:46These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:48Is Casey...Echo?
00:06:00Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:02Play that song!
00:06:03Play that song!
00:06:05God, where's Casey?
00:06:06She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:08The show is a disaster.
00:06:09The fans are waiting.
00:06:10Can you please find her?
00:06:11I need her.
00:06:12No, Dexter.
00:06:14I'm the one you need.
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel.
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:30Are you her?
00:06:35Listen.
00:06:36Can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did.
00:06:42Wait.
00:06:44Dexter, there's...
00:06:46One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:49Well...
00:06:50Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls.
00:06:59Dodged questions.
00:07:00Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter.
00:07:05I'm so sorry.
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:19Wait.
00:07:19Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:22Uh...
00:07:23And we're back.
00:07:24Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29At least I thought so.
00:07:39Get ready, Dex.
00:07:40The mix to your next big single is coming to you in 3...
00:07:452...
00:07:461...
00:07:461...
00:07:581...
00:08:07Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you, I
00:08:13One thing to remember you might, the time I looked into your eye
00:08:19A secret feeling I get out, knowing I was waiting at a time
00:08:40A secret feeling I got, knowing I was waiting for you
00:08:40Your side
00:08:40A secret feeling I got, knowing I got
00:08:41One thing to think I was waiting for you
00:08:59For me
00:09:14How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:35He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:41I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:55Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:02Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:15I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet.
00:10:22But, she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:29It was all a lie.
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:59You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:09Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you-you gave me no choice.
00:11:15I gave you everything.
00:11:18I loved you. Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her.
00:11:23Oh.
00:11:24Okay, I-I-I-I owe her, alright? I don't-
00:11:27You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plan.
00:11:33What has she ever done for you?
00:11:35Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:36She made me who I am today.
00:11:39Okay, okay? So-so-so that's why.
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:52You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is.
00:11:58You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:18Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:23To please your adoring fans? To boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me.
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty.
00:12:38Just your music.
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook.
00:12:49Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first triple platinum album.
00:12:54That's my notebook?
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius.
00:13:00And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:13:03Give it back.
00:13:04Ow!
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:07Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't...
00:13:10I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:12Dexy, baby.
00:13:14I know all about girls like her.
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:22She has been for years.
00:13:25Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo.
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:31Okay?
00:13:32Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car, please.
00:13:43But Casey...
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:51So please just...
00:13:52Just tell me the truth.
00:13:54Okay, right now.
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever.
00:14:00Yes.
00:14:03Please.
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:22We're over.
00:14:24Dex.
00:14:28Goodbye.
00:14:29Forever.
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight,
00:14:58and she said yes.
00:15:06I gave Dex everything.
00:15:08I made his career, but...
00:15:11He doesn't want me.
00:15:12He never did.
00:15:14What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart.
00:15:17She stole him, and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:21I'll come get you.
00:15:22I'll come get you.
00:15:26Okay.
00:15:28I'll go get you.
00:15:33I'll go get you.
00:15:41I'll go get you.
00:15:47I'll do my turn.
00:15:49I'll come get you.
00:15:49I'm sorry.
00:15:51I'll do my name.
00:15:52We're your fans, too. We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart.
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:16:05We're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:09I wasn't stealing him. We were in love.
00:16:12Or I thought we were.
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17Maybe the only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:28Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room. Come alone.
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them.
00:16:38Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:43You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left a concert.
00:16:54Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:57Dexter is coming.
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is.
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancƩe?
00:17:09Obviously not.
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:15You fucked him, too?
00:17:17God, our precious Dexter.
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:25You don't deserve to live.
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:30So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:35That's not true.
00:17:37First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered.
00:17:40You're psychotic.
00:17:42Oh, don't worry, Casey.
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:48single on our new album.
00:17:51You're crazier than they are.
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey.
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:06Dexter!
00:18:07Dexter!
00:18:08Dexter!
00:18:09Dexter!
00:18:10Dexter!
00:18:11Dexter, help me!
00:18:12They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:17Okay, guys, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:24We're your biggest fans.
00:18:26We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works.
00:18:37Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now.
00:18:42You can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:50mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live.
00:18:54Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:02They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:19:06I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart.
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead. Make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter.
00:19:35Dexter, please.
00:19:37Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:39You dumped her.
00:19:40You chose me.
00:19:41Don't let them murder me.
00:19:42That's me now. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:59Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute. You told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:27I guess this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:39Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go!
00:20:55Let's go!
00:20:55Let's go!
00:20:56Okay, okay, okay, okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:03It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die!
00:21:08And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:11I was right to walk away!
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:17Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:30Casey, Casey, hey!
00:21:41Casey, Casey, stop!
00:21:43Please, stop!
00:21:44Please, please, please!
00:21:44Where are you gonna go?
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone!
00:21:54You're delusional!
00:21:55He doesn't need you, he has Echo!
00:21:57Well, yeah, sure he does.
00:22:00Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:16I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's...
00:22:55That's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:59So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:06Take me home.
00:23:21I was trying to...
00:23:25I was trying to...
00:23:29I was trying to...
00:23:37Casey!
00:23:40Casey!
00:23:41Casey!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Scarlet.
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes.
00:23:50You should have seen it.
00:23:52I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:03Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:15I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:27Forget him, princess.
00:24:29Hmm?
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:33How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:45Records.
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:01My back is pressed
00:25:09My back is pressed
00:25:16My back is pressed
00:25:18Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:33The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:45Are you really Echo?
00:25:50Are you really Echo?
00:25:55Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:59Um, it's just, your new assistant.
00:26:02He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:20Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:23It's dead, too.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
00:26:37See it again.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:23So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter.
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look.
00:28:14I know what you're thinking,
00:28:16but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:19I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants
00:28:22lining up to get on their knees and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:34Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:43and start getting ready.
00:28:44I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:52Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:01I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:16How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:19as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:21We're honored.
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side,
00:29:24our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:27Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter,
00:29:36the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:44I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look, here she is now!
00:30:04No fucking way!
00:30:29Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:36Hey Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet. I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her. And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:11You should listen to her Dexter.
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:25hit.
00:31:41Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:47But this party is for the elite, with the music industry only.
00:31:51I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:53But the party's just getting started. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:01Why? So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want. But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men. Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:58Hmm. They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm. Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me who's putting on an act or...?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Be careful.
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:22You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:25You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:30-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:31But me? I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reed. Hi. Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite. You've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:03Got you.
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:11daughter, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:15Well, you know, sir, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are
00:34:20working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:28I think we could really make something special.
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:34And you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO.
00:34:42Well, that would make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:48The new CEO is already here.
00:35:01The new CEO is already here.
00:35:02Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey.
00:35:09I've been trying to call you the last few days, and I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just
00:35:15showed up here.
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only.
00:35:39Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:52night.
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:36:00Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:07Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:15later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:43But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano, who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name
00:36:55on one of them.
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame through her mind.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes. It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:12Alright, this is it. He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:16I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess.
00:37:26In the light of my life.
00:37:29My daughter.
00:37:30Casey Reed.
00:37:36What?
00:37:41No.
00:37:49Casey.
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit.
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:10She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her base?
00:38:19She just committed career to her.
00:38:21She's the daughter of suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed.
00:38:23Your gift.
00:38:23For the lady of the hour.
00:38:25Ugh.
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad.
00:38:30This is too much.
00:38:31Throw something from your old man.
00:38:33And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:36This cannot be happening.
00:38:38She's a nobody.
00:38:42I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:49He was her father.
00:38:51This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:39:00How could I be so blind?
00:39:08Suits you?
00:39:10Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I, I love, I just...
00:39:24I thought you'd stay the same all of those years...
00:39:31I just...
00:39:32I still miss you.
00:39:42Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:51But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:10If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:16You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:18I lied?
00:40:18Yeah.
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen, you have to believe me, please.
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing, I guess, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:35Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, Tank your career.
00:40:43I made his career.
00:40:46I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:49You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:53Wait.
00:40:57This...
00:40:58This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:02Why...
00:41:02You left...
00:41:04Me...
00:41:04For dead.
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:08Threw me to the curb...
00:41:10For the fame.
00:41:12The fortune.
00:41:13The fans.
00:41:14No, no, please.
00:41:14No, no, no.
00:41:15Actually, I think...
00:41:17It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:28Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:40Effective immediately.
00:41:42Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
00:41:48You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:53Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:57Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this.
00:42:00I don't care about that.
00:42:01I've always loved you.
00:42:02Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:42:05She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:10Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:12Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:13She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:17Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:19She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:22Okay!
00:42:23Mom!
00:42:23Mom!
00:42:23Stop!
00:42:24You're my mom, not my manager.
00:42:27Alright?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this.
00:42:50I've known you for years.
00:42:55I thought you'd stay safe.
00:42:59I've known you for years.
00:42:59all of those years
00:43:05In the dark's mind, lost in my eyes.
00:43:18I'm still missing you.
00:43:22And I'm still!
00:43:24And I'm still, I'm still missing you
00:43:35I'm still missing you
00:43:40It's wine, heart and mind
00:43:45I'm still missing you
00:43:54I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:57You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:59I just came to pick up my equipment
00:44:03Casey's wrong about me
00:44:04I never gave up on us
00:44:06She's got to know the truth
00:44:08I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex
00:44:18Fine
00:44:20Let's not talk
00:44:30What's wrong
00:44:31Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:44Not anymore
00:44:46I'm your former boss now
00:44:47In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:55I don't give a fuck
00:44:56About the contract
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:59I just want you
00:45:00And I know that you want me too
00:45:03Don't act like you've forgotten
00:45:06What we had
00:45:08I've been trying to
00:45:10But being this close again
00:45:11It feels
00:45:14Impossible
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:18But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:25I don't care
00:45:26About the fans
00:45:27I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:29I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:31If you tell me
00:45:32That you want to be with me
00:45:35We'll be together
00:45:40We can tease each other all day
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46That you
00:45:48Still
00:45:50Love me
00:46:13You're right
00:46:13I am like an instrument
00:46:15The way I let you play me
00:46:17After what you did
00:46:19Why would I trust you ever again
00:46:21Listen to me
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:26Hello
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:29Thank you
00:46:30Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:31Hold on
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million streams
00:46:40I mean
00:46:41We have a Dexter Hayes size hold of Phil
00:46:43And he could be the next big thing
00:46:44It's not safe
00:46:45Casey
00:46:45You don't need him
00:46:47He'll hurt you
00:46:48No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:49I don't think you
00:46:50Of all people
00:46:51Get to tell me
00:46:52What I need
00:46:53Casey
00:46:54Casey
00:46:55Casey
00:46:56Casey
00:46:58Casey has every right
00:46:59To be angry with me
00:47:00After what I did
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02She can trust me again
00:47:15Perfect Simon
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable
00:47:17Thank you for meeting me on self-short notice
00:47:19Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:23I've made an exception for you
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know what that means
00:47:30But
00:47:32You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online
00:47:35I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:38Wow
00:47:39I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:42Actually
00:47:43I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:45So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:49Of course
00:47:51But
00:47:52You're not in a hurry
00:47:54Why don't we toast first
00:47:55To this potential partnership?
00:48:13Shall we?
00:48:14How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka
00:48:25But you know what I
00:48:27Actually
00:48:29Love even more than that
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing
00:48:35Asshole pervs
00:48:36My hair
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:42Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:47Not so fast
00:48:48You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:50And demand a live performance from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely
00:48:56And a fraud
00:49:00I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:49:03No matter how talented you are
00:49:06I want me to label to sign me
00:49:08Not when I can read records
00:49:09For myself
00:49:13Don't be shy Casey
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:15The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:17To see my new mistress
00:49:18He'll plaster our photos
00:49:19All over the tabloids
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:23How you slept your way to the top
00:49:26Your poor father
00:49:27He's gonna have no choice
00:49:29But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:32You're delusional
00:49:34Stay away from me
00:49:35You're fine
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off
00:49:41What?
00:49:42I'm gonna break your fucking hands
00:49:45Dexter Hayes
00:49:45Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine
00:49:53What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that
00:49:57I'd love to see you try so you're right
00:49:58You're just a wash up addict
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:50:02Okay?
00:50:07Okay
00:50:08I'm sorry
00:50:08Jesus
00:50:09We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:12You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:16I mean what the fuck
00:50:19The name is Casey Reed
00:50:22And she's the future of the industry
00:50:24That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:28Your career is dead
00:50:29Sasha
00:50:30I'm not sure of that
00:50:32Let's go
00:50:41Let's go
00:50:44Give me your hand
00:50:53Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:54Sasha Silver is little
00:50:56My business is none of your concern
00:50:58If I didn't show up tonight
00:51:00What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you
00:51:04Yes, okay
00:51:05I know
00:51:07Newsflash
00:51:08I'm not your assistant anymore
00:51:11So it's not your concern
00:51:13Where I am
00:51:14Or what I'm doing
00:51:15Okay?
00:51:16So stop
00:51:18Following me
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving
00:51:26Stop following you
00:51:27The minute that you
00:51:28Stop making stupid
00:51:30Fucking decisions
00:51:32And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:38You're way
00:51:40Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:44Won't your fiancƩ be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:53I did not
00:51:54Want to marry
00:51:56Scarlet
00:51:58You don't fucking listen
00:51:59And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:13So what am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:20And be the pop star's secret side piece again?
00:52:26I should push him away
00:52:28But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:30You were never the side piece
00:52:34And you know it
00:52:45Boss, I have news
00:52:47Boss, I have news
00:52:48Thank you for your help today, Dexter
00:52:53I have news
00:52:54Please stop following me
00:52:58Or else it's going to get harder and harder to walk away
00:53:10Great timing
00:53:12As always
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15Done what you asked
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence and drug abuse have been leaked to the press
00:53:20No label, studio, brand will go anywhere near
00:53:22His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:24Good
00:53:26Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:29I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:38Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:42But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:45I could have handled Sasha
00:53:47There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled
00:53:55Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:54:06He can't sing anything anywhere
00:54:09Or get sued to hell and back
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14For me?
00:54:15Maybe
00:54:16He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:18Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:25The world famous music
00:54:27Producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:34Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:35She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before it can expose her lies
00:54:39She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:42Sooner or later Dexter will realize she can't even hold a tune
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:50She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice let alone marry her if she wasn't pretending to be a genius
00:54:56producer
00:54:56I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:55:00I think it's time
00:55:02The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:55:09You wanna go to the UMAs?
00:55:11As Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:14I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:17It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:20The world?
00:55:21Or Dexter?
00:55:25This isn't about him
00:55:29He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:31Well my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:35But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:36Oh you're gonna do it right
00:55:39With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:51Invest at
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes! It's so good to see you again
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged
00:56:13Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:19And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:26She's a musical genius
00:56:28We need something one of a kind just like her
00:56:31Of course
00:56:31I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:41Please don't touch that
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:48Ugh, it's you
00:56:49Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:55You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:58I have to ask you to leave now
00:57:05I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:57:09I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:57:12Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:57:14We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:18Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiance and creative collaborator
00:57:25And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:28Yeah
00:57:29You're right
00:57:30In that case
00:57:32You should have this
00:57:40No!
00:57:45Oh my god!
00:57:48Oh my god!
00:57:48What?
00:57:52Oops
00:57:53Slipped out of my hands
00:57:55My bad
00:57:58Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:58:02Here it is!
00:58:04Take this woman away!
00:58:05Hold on just one second
00:58:08Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my god
00:58:11I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:13You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:58:16Just kidding
00:58:21It's all yours now
00:58:32Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:36We'll find a better option
00:58:43Like this one
00:58:45Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:47This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:50The genius producer
00:58:52Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:54Hey, hey
00:58:55Actually, actually
00:58:56This guitar is no longer available
00:58:59In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:59:04I'm gonna just
00:59:06My apologies, my apologies
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no
00:59:10We saw it first
00:59:12Look, look
00:59:13We just want the one guitar
00:59:14I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:19But it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage
00:59:26How dare you, you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough
00:59:39Hi, Ducky
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:47You need to do something
00:59:49Mom, do you really want to have a conversation right here and now about the current status of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent as a producer is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
01:00:01The least you could do is show her a little respect
01:00:06You know what, actually
01:00:08I'm sorry, you're right
01:00:09I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me
01:00:16Please ring up the guitar for Ms. Hunt
01:00:18I knew you would support me
01:00:20Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:22You know, why don't you ask the new owner how much it costs and I'll pay it whatever it is
01:00:27right here and now
01:00:29Ms. Reed, as the new owner of the store, how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:44Consider it a late birthday gift for my former assistant
01:00:47You did this for me?
01:00:50You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know
01:00:55But I'm someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter, are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even a real musician and you gave her the entire store?
01:01:08You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:12Oh, it's okay, Scarlet could have it for free
01:01:15As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:22Casey, I am not stooping to your level
01:01:24And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:27I will talk to you about this later
01:01:31You will regret this
01:01:33Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:36She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up
01:01:40Thanks, Mom
01:01:45Hi
01:01:46One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:50It's Miss Reed and I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:53Two, my birthday was months ago
01:01:56Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:59So your gift means nothing
01:02:01Nothing
01:02:04Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11Secret?
01:02:11Hold on, what are you talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:19No
01:02:19That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:26But not anymore
01:02:29I don't need you
01:02:41Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:42I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection
01:02:46Yes, sir
01:02:49Oh, one more thing
01:02:52She's fired
01:02:54Yes, sir
01:02:56Thank you
01:02:58But Dexter, you can't do this
01:03:00I love you
01:03:06Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart
01:03:15You're on in five
01:03:16The broadcast will begin live
01:03:18Thank you
01:03:20Did you hear that?
01:03:22Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:25It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:26The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:30I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:35All right, guys, it's time
01:03:36Let's go
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me
01:03:58I knew you'd make it
01:03:59Of course she did
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet
01:04:05You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:04:08I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:04:13When you yourself have none
01:04:15Mmm
01:04:16I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:19Oh
01:04:20Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:23Wreck-a-legs, Scarlet
01:04:25Or should I say
01:04:27Echo
01:04:29Don't choke
01:04:31Hope you don't choke
01:04:55The playback's down
01:04:57The track's gone, completely white
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version
01:05:06I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me to her reject tracks
01:05:10Go fix this
01:05:11Now
01:05:14This is bad, all right?
01:05:16Everyone's just out there staring at us
01:05:17We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:19And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:20What are we gonna do?
01:05:23I have an idea
01:05:26You're Echo
01:05:27Right?
01:05:38Yes, it's true
01:05:40I'm Echo
01:05:42The award-winning producer
01:05:44And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:47Then prove it
01:05:49Go ahead
01:05:50Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:53Come on
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean
01:05:57This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:59I mean, the whole world is watching
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:06:04This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:06:07I must have another file I can play
01:06:09I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:06:12Of course
01:06:13Watch me work my magic
01:06:15And that's how it's done
01:06:35Show must go on
01:06:37Nice try
01:06:38Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:40You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:44Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:46And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah
01:06:59Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:07:02That means recording the instruments live, looping them
01:07:05Don't listen to her
01:07:07She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:07:10And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrected
01:07:14If I didn't know any better
01:07:15I think you were trying to sabotage me
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet
01:07:19Why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real
01:07:20Okay, you're
01:07:21You're Echo
01:07:22Okay
01:07:23So, just fix the track
01:07:26Yeah
01:07:27Come on Echo
01:07:29What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet
01:07:40Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:42You have to fix this
01:07:43I could
01:07:44If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:47Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius
01:07:51Why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:55But it's actually your big night
01:07:56So, why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:59And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:08:01Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:08:13It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:08:15You really think your fiancƩ is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:25I can't let her expose me
01:08:26Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:18Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:25Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:31Alright, look
01:09:34It's done
01:09:36You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am
01:09:42That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:46Yeah
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:55That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:58And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:00As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:10:06Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:10:09Your entire life's work is on the line
01:10:12Mom
01:10:13You heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving this song
01:10:16Now it's over
01:10:17It's over
01:10:32Well
01:10:33I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:37No, no
01:10:38There's no, there's, there's no other
01:10:40Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:51What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing
01:11:10And if you don't, will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily
01:11:19Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave
01:11:25It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:30Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:32Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:36Right now
01:11:37Right now
01:12:04Good
01:12:08Now let's make a hit
01:12:17Let's fucking go
01:12:34Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:37I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:39So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:41I, I, I can't, I don't have but
01:12:42You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Then when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds, it's familiar
01:12:57You are not the cut for sure
01:13:01This is not a one-time thing
01:13:06Stop! Stop it!
01:13:20Casey, you are Echo
01:13:22Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song, she just ripped it off
01:13:29This is my song, she just ripped it off
01:13:30Who's suing now, Scarlett?
01:13:32Don't listen to her
01:13:35I'm Echo
01:13:38I didn't even make that version
01:13:40I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:43Go fix this
01:13:47Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:54She's the one that saved the song
01:13:55No, that was me
01:13:57I already did all the work
01:13:58She's just taking the credit
01:14:00I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:14:03So that makes it my intellectual property
01:14:06You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:14:08But you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:14:10Where do I sign?
01:14:11I don't think you could afford my fee
01:14:13I think you might just be surprised
01:14:17$200 million
01:14:18$200 million for one song?
01:14:22That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:25And I want my name to be credited
01:14:29Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:32And one last thing
01:14:33I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean, you don't have to
01:14:44I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:45And then Scarlett could finish the album
01:14:47And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:49So
01:14:50What will it be?
01:14:56The clock is ticking
01:15:00I was wrong about you
01:15:01You saved Dexter's song
01:15:05I'm sorry
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it
01:15:11Apologize to her
01:15:12That bitch
01:15:13Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything
01:15:17Come on, let's hear it
01:15:19Tell the world the truth
01:15:20Scarlett
01:15:21Fine
01:15:22I'm not Echo
01:15:23I pretended
01:15:24And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:27They are happy
01:15:31They are happy
01:15:34Wait
01:15:34That's not what I really meant
01:15:37Dexter
01:15:38She manipulated me
01:15:40You're still my fiance
01:15:41You believe
01:15:42Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see you
01:15:44Fucking thought
01:15:45And you're a damn liar
01:15:48Casey
01:15:49Is the one
01:15:50Who built my career
01:15:51Hell, she's the one
01:15:51Who saved the damn song
01:15:54She's the only one
01:15:55Who ever cared about me
01:15:57Or loved me
01:15:59Our engagement
01:16:00Is off
01:16:01And so is the record
01:16:25Please don't cancel the album
01:16:26The album
01:16:27Terminating your contract
01:16:29And blacklisting you from the industry
01:16:31Two years old
01:16:38Got yourself a deal case
01:16:48Hit it
01:16:53If we're not here for long
01:16:58Tell me where would we belong
01:17:04My back is fast against the wall
01:17:09I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:15Your name's on fire
01:17:19In my veins
01:17:22It's burning through my chains
01:17:26Who are you to tell me why
01:17:32Who am I to look like
01:17:37This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:41But you're not all thinking by
01:17:47You're not on fire
01:17:48No
01:17:57No
01:17:58No
01:17:59No
01:17:59No
01:17:59No
01:17:59No
01:18:26Oh, my God.
01:18:39Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know,
01:18:42are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast,
01:18:48and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry,
01:18:52and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:57You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:01You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was going to be mine!
01:19:07I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way.
01:19:24Hey, that won't happen again.
01:19:25Hey, say!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:28No!
01:19:36No!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh, my God!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:51You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:57as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so.
01:20:02But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:17I said, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean, the love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:41Hmm?
01:20:42Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:43The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:12Princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:51Dexter, how could you do something so stupid?
01:21:57If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I think I have every right to be.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:39Dan, you saved my life, and I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free, and we can go our separate ways.
01:22:55We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:56Listen.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:10Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:13Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little niece.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:19Reminds me.
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:29The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:38You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are, or what you have, or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08We do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:41This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:25:52Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:05But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:21I love you too.
01:26:42I love you too.
01:26:59This goes on, there's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking, but all you do, was the fool
01:27:13who I hated, now I'm recreated.
01:27:16Every time I look at the moon's fall, I dream of a night that's lost forever. Soon you'll see that
01:27:31it's time for you and me.
01:27:34It's the best so far, we're just a little. Every time I look in your eyes, I forget where I
01:27:51am, just a little.
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm taking and talking, but I will be watching.
01:28:15Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The mirror in heaven, my heart is still beating.
01:28:23Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world where we're together.
01:28:33Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:28:35Sure, yeah, yeah.
01:28:38You
