00:00:16My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:19No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:24Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:27I chose to stay invisible because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:35the rockstar I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:42We 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.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:08I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song.
00:01:20You lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:25I want you, Dex.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:35And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:44And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm going to claim every 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?
00:02:12Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:15Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean, too.
00:02:22Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:29His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:59I can't wait to make you my wife.å!
00:03:06Oh my
00:03:08god! Oh my
00:03:10god! Really?
00:03:12Mm-hm.
00:03:15Champagne was great
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show,
00:03:27the world's hottest pop star
00:03:29and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:44but I'll never lock him down
00:03:45as long as he's in bed with his crumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of buzz for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart.
00:04:01Dexter 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,
00:04:09she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:14I hope you enjoy.
00:04:25Shit!
00:04:26The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dexter's show get ruined!
00:04:30Echo can fix this!
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:39What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle
00:04:46all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:49I'll be right back.
00:04:53There.
00:04:54Your gear from the studio!
00:04:57Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:59Dad!
00:04:59We've talked about this.
00:05:01In public, I am not your daughter,
00:05:02and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But 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.
00:05:12But for now,
00:05:13I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this,
00:05:21he'll dump that little cheater
00:05:22and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh, my God.
00:05:43These are the arrangements
00:05:44of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:46Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:49Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:05:59Play that song!
00:06:00Play that song!
00:06:02God, where's Casey?
00:06:03She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04The show is a disaster.
00:06:06The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her?
00:06:08I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's North.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:31Listen,
00:06:32can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter,
00:06:41there's one more thing
00:06:43I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls,
00:06:56dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me
00:06:59this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter,
00:07:01I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never,
00:07:03never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:14What are they?
00:07:15Wait,
00:07:16didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh,
00:07:19and we're back.
00:07:20Well,
00:07:21I wrote this song
00:07:22for the love of my life.
00:07:26At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready,
00:07:36Dex.

00:07:37your next big single
00:07:38is coming to you

00:08:28oh,
00:08:28oh,
00:08:29oh,
00:08:30oh,
00:08:30oh,
00:08:30oh,
00:08:33oh,
00:08:33oh,
00:08:34oh,
00:08:35oh,
00:08:35oh,

00:09:03oh,
00:09:04oh,
00:09:04oh,
00:09:05oh,
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.
00:09:37I loved her, and she betrayed me.
00:09:50Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:09:58Oh my god! Dexie! Yes!
00:10:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:25It was all a lie.
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:05Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything!
00:11:14I loved you, do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her, okay? I owe her, alright? I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant. What has she ever done for you?
00:11:29Scarlet produced my career. She made me who I am today. Okay? So, so, so that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is. You know what? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done
00:11:57for me. And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore. Is this what you wanted all along? To be a
00:12:16music industry power couple? To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:21He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about. Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty. Just your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook. Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first single platinum album.
00:12:48That's my notebook. How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius. And you're just... Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Give it back!
00:12:59Ow! Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02See what has gotten into you? I don't... I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexy, baby. I know all about girls like her. They want fame and money without really ever having to work
00:13:14for it.
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you. She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this. Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't. Okay? Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car. Please.
00:13:37They're Casey.
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:46So, please just... just tell me the truth. Okay, right now. Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:54Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore. You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:11Bye.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:19Dex.
00:14:22Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market. Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and
00:14:50-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:15:00I gave Dex everything. I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me. He never did.
00:15:08What happened, Princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:12She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:19I'll come get you.
00:15:21Pacey.
00:15:22Pacey, where are you?
00:15:32Looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go.
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet. We won't hurt you. We're your friends too. We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart. We're
00:15:52just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage. We'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? The 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. Choose to save Scarlet Hart and we'll spare them. Choose your little assistant and they both
00:16:35die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left the concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:50Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiance?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:08You fucked him too?
00:17:10God, our precious Dexter. Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:16Girls like you don't deserve him. You don't deserve to live.
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:24So, 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? You're psychotic.
00:17:35Oh, don't worry, Casey. If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll
00:17:40even be the lead single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are. Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey!
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dex!
00:17:59Dex! Dex! Dex! Dex!
00:18:03Dexter! Dexter, help me! They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:10Okay guys, let's, let's, let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We, we can't do that, Dexter. We're your biggest fans. We're doing this for you!
00:18:21Okay, well if you love me, alright, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:27No, that's not how this works. Dexie, you would be nothing without Echo. We're engaged now, you can't let me
00:18:35die.
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me, did they
00:18:43mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live. Will it be your future wife? Or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die. I can save Casey, but I, I have to
00:19:02break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice.
00:19:24Choose now or they both die.
00:19:26Dexter, Dexter, please, think of everything I've done for you. You dumped her, you chose me, don't let them murder
00:19:34me.
00:19:35That's enough. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, alright? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:19:54I was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute, you told me that-
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate, and 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.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:46Let's go! Let's go!
00:20:47Let's go!
00:20:48Okay, okay.
00:20:48Oh, come on. Okay.
00:20:50Alright.
00:20:56It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die.
00:21:00And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:03I was right to walk away.
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:09Look, Casey, you don't understand, alright?
00:21:11They were gonna make me-
00:21:12I'm done living in your shadow decks.
00:21:17Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey, Casey.
00:21:24Hey.
00:21:32Casey.
00:21:33Casey, stop!
00:21:34Please, stop!
00:21:35Please, please.
00:21:36We're gonna go-
00:21:37Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:45You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:48He has Echo.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:52Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me.
00:22:01Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:07I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:18No!
00:22:18In case you don't understand, I was trying to-
00:22:21No!
00:22:45In case you don't understand, I was trying to-
00:22:47The CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:51I'm so sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:07Mary.
00:23:10Mary.
00:23:11Oh yeah!
00:23:12I'm sorry!
00:23:14You have everything you need!
00:23:16I'll show him!
00:23:16You have everything you need!
00:23:17You're alive!
00:23:19Take me home!
00:23:19I'm sorry.
00:23:20Go!
00:23:20Pick you up!
00:23:22Push it in!
00:23:22No, no!
00:23:26You're here.
00:23:27I'll show you!
00:23:28KC!
00:23:29I can kill!
00:23:30You have everything!
00:23:31KC!
00:23:32KC!
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:38Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it, I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:48I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53And when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:59Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought KC loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18Forget him, princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:36Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:06No, no!
00:25:09Okay, guys, cut the track.
00:25:14The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:17Look, guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:28You can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:45Dexy.
00:25:47Of course I am.
00:25:50It's just...
00:25:51Your new assistant, he's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last Saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:27See it again.
00:26:42See it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09Alright, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:13So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:32Look what we just got. An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year. The Reed Records Music Hall
00:27:40of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested, okay? We have a song to finish.
00:27:50Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself. They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go. This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:02Okay, look.
00:28:04I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go and you have to impress him, okay? He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:29So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:43Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:46Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:12We're honored.
00:29:12And with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know. Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:35I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look! Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:29:58No!
00:30:00No!
00:30:01No!
00:30:03No!
00:30:17No!
00:30:19No!
00:30:19Oh!
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:26Hey Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:31Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:34I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:05All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:20I'm sorry.
00:31:32Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy,
00:31:38but this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:52So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:02And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:04Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12You jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up all you want.
00:32:25But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:36Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart.
00:32:38I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:44Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:48Hmm.
00:32:49They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me?
00:32:58Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:28How dare you?
00:33:29Careful.
00:33:29Ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking hard.
00:33:32Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:34:03Mr. Reid, uh, hi, uh, Dexter Hayes.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record
00:34:09that Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:17over the last many decades, I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:24And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make
00:34:33me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:52Casey.
00:34:53Casey.
00:34:54Casey.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess I'm just
00:35:03surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:06I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:20What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:36You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander
00:35:41and empty accusations all night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:46Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:51The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:35:59Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:03Oh, can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Aw, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen,
00:36:21it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:34But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:39Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:42Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:52No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:54It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:02All right, this is it.
00:37:04He's gonna announce that he signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce
00:37:08the heir to my billion-dollar music empire.
00:37:11The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:15My princess.
00:37:17In the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:22Hey.
00:37:26What?
00:37:31No.
00:37:39Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:00She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:04Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed.
00:38:13Your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad.
00:38:20This is too much.
00:38:21Well, something from your old man.
00:38:23And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:41This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:49How could I be so blind?
00:38:58What suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I, look, I just...
00:39:09I've gone before years.
00:39:14I thought you'd stay the same.
00:39:18All of those years...
00:39:20I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:36Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:43Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:45If you just let me explain...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:48Why you want me back?
00:39:49After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:00If you just let me tell you, I, I...
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:04I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:06You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:13I didn't want any of that to happen!
00:40:15You have to believe me, please!
00:40:17I was just trying to...
00:40:20Look, I...
00:40:21Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:24Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:27Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, Tank your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I loved you.
00:40:37Dexter, you might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:47This...
00:40:47This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why...
00:40:52You left...
00:40:53Me...
00:40:54For dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad...
00:40:58Threw me to the curb...
00:41:00For the fame...
00:41:01The fortune...
00:41:02The fans...
00:41:03No, no, please...
00:41:04No, no, no!
00:41:04Actually, I think...
00:41:06It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:11Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:18Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!
00:41:37You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:42Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant Nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo. She can produce...
00:42:01Casey!
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:07Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom. Stop.
00:42:14You're my mom, not my manager, alright?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:19I'm done talking about this.
00:42:21I'm done talking about this.
00:42:30I'm done talking about this.
00:42:38You've known you for years.
00:42:42I thought you'd say the same
00:42:48All of those years
00:42:51I've broken their place
00:43:01Made a twine
00:43:04Lost in my eyes
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:10I'm still
00:43:13I'm still
00:43:15I'm still missing you
00:43:24I'm still missing you
00:43:28In a twine
00:43:31Heart and mind
00:43:33I'm still missing you
00:43:43I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:52Casey's wrong about me
00:43:53I never gave up on us
00:43:55She's got another truth
00:43:57I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:07Fine
00:44:09Let's not talk
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancƩ not keeping you satisfied
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:29Not anymore
00:44:31I'm your former boss now
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:39I don't give a fuck
00:44:41About the contract
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:45And I know that you want me to
00:44:47And I act like you've forgotten
00:44:51What we had
00:44:53I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:11About the fans
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:13I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:15If you tell me
00:45:17That you want to be with me
00:45:20We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other over
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:31You
00:45:33Still
00:45:33Love me
00:45:56You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:46:00The 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
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:14Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:16Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million streams
00:46:25I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes size hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:29It's not safe, Casey
00:46:30You don't need him
00:46:32He'll hurt you
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people
00:46:36Get to tell me what I need
00:46:38Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:40Casey
00:46:42Casey has every right to be angry with me
00:46:45After what I did
00:46:45I have to prove she can trust me again
00:46:59Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:08I've been an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means
00:47:15But
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
00:47:24Hired to be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:28I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:33Of course
00:47:36But
00:47:37You're not in a hurry
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I 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
00:48:20My hair
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:26Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now 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 the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:40Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:47No matter how talented you are
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me
00:48:52Not when I can read records
00:48:53For myself
00:48:57Don't be shy Casey
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:01To 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
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13He'll have to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:18Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha that
00:49:21Hey
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:28Dexter Hayes
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'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
00:49:47Okay?
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
00:49:58Used up slut
00:50:00I mean what the fuck
00:50:03The name
00:50:05Is Casey Wee
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07Of the industry
00:50:09That you want so badly
00:50:10Fucking in
00:50:12Your career is dead
00:50:13Sasha
00:50:14I'm not sure of that
00:50:17Let's go
00:50:25Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is literally
00:50:39My business
00:50:41Is none of your concern
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:44What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes
00:50:48He could have done
00:50:49Okay
00:50:49I know
00:50:51Newsflash
00:50:52I'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 stop
00:51:02Following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:09Stop following you
00:51:11The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:14Fucking decisions
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger
00:51:18I've put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:23Too interested
00:51:25In my personal life
00:51:27Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiancƩ be jealous?
00:51:34I'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 love
00:51:43And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So
00:51:57What am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:03And be
00:52:04The pop star's
00:52:05Secret side piece again
00:52:10I should push him away
00:52:11But
00:52:12I can't deny
00:52:13How much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:18And you know it
00:52:28Lost
00:52:29I have news
00:52:31Thank you for
00:52:33Your help
00:52:33Today
00:52:34Dexter
00:52:36Please
00:52:37Stop following me
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away
00:52:54Great timing
00:52:56As always
00:52:57Why 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
00:53:03No label, studio, or brand will go anywhere near
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:08Good
00:53:09Buy all the rice to his music
00:53:12I'm gonna 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
00:53:26But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:38Cancelled
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For me?
00:53:58Maybe
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:09The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:11Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:13At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:21Before it can expose her lies
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:25Sooner 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
00:54:32I mean, she 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
00:54:44I think it's time
00:54:45The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:03The world?
00:55:04Or Dexter?
00:55:08This isn't about him
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:18But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:19Oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess
00:55:29For the queen that she is
00:55:34You're the best, Dad
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes
00:55:50It's so good to see you again
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged
00:55:56Yes, my future daughter-in-law
00:55:59Is 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
00:56:25Please don't touch that
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Ugh, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:41I 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
00:56:57We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:01Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiancƩ
00:57:06And creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:10Yeah
00:57:11You're right
00:57:13In that case
00:57:15You should have this
00:57:27Oh my god
00:57:31Oops
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:45Security
00:57:45Take this woman away
00:57:48Hold on just one second
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my god
00:57:54I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:56You think you set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:57:59Just kidding
00:58:04It's all yours now
00:58:14Scarlett
00:58:15Ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:18We'll find a better option
00:58:25Like this one
00:58:27Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:33The genius producer
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:36Actually, actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner
00:58:46I'm gonna just
00:58:49My apologies
00:58:50My apologies
00:58:50Apologies
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:58:53We saw it first
00:58:54Look, look
00:58:55We just want the one guitar
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:01But it's not gonna stop Scarlett from choking on the stage
00:59:09How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:17That's enough
00:59:21Hi, Dexie
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Bixter
00:59:27She just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:30You need to do something
00:59:32Mom
00:59:32Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:35About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:40Is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:48You know, actually
00:59:50I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:51I should
00:59:52Show respect to
00:59:54The one person who's always been there for me
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar
00:59:59For Ms. Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:07How much it costs
01:00:08And I'll pay it
01:00:09Whatever it is
01:00:10Right here and now
01:00:12Ms. Reed
01:00:13As the new owner of the store
01:00:14How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:22I'm sorry
01:00:22I'm the new owner
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:27For my former assistant
01:00:29You did this for me
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:36You probably don't know
01:00:37But
01:00:38I'm someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter!
01:00:43Are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician
01:00:48And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50Or you're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay
01:00:56Scarlett could have it for free
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:03Casey
01:01:04I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides, we'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
01:01:20With no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, Mom
01:01:29One
01:01:29I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:32It's Miss Reed
01:01:33And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:35Two
01:01:37My birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:41So your gift means nothing
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:53What are you talking about?
01:01:55What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:09But not anymore
01:02:11I don't need you
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection
01:02:29Yes, sir
01:02:31Oh, one more thing
01:02:34She's fired
01:02:36Yes, sir
01:02:38Thank you
01:02:41Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:42I love you
01:02:56Mr. Hayes
01:02:57Ms. Hart
01:02:57You're on in five
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live
01:03:00Thank you
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:04Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:17All right, guys, it's time
01:03:18Let's go
01:03:18No
01:03:19Scarlet
01:03:34You can't start the show without me
01:03:40I knew you'd make it
01:03:41Of course she did
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:47You 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
01:03:54When you yourself have none
01:03:56Mmm
01:03:58I'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
01:04:11Don't choke
01:04:13Hope you don't choke
01:04:35The playback's down
01:04:37The track's gone, completely white
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:52Now
01:04:55This is bad
01:04:56All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:58We're gonna bring the broadcast
01:05:00And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:02I have an idea
01:05:05You're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true
01:05:21I'm Echo
01:05:22The award-winning producer
01:05:24And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:27Then prove it
01:05:29Go ahead
01:05:30Why 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
01:05:37This 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
01:05:47I must have another file I can play
01:05:49I'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
01:06:17Nice try
01:06:18Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:20You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble
01:06:25On the EQ in the middle
01:06:27And can you pan from
01:06:28Stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping the-
01:06:45Don't listen to her
01:06:47She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrected
01:06:54If I didn't know any better
01:06:55I think you were trying to sabotage me
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:59Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real, okay?
01:07:01You're-you're Echo
01:07:02Okay, so just fix the track
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:07Come on, Echo
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:21You have to fix this
01:07:23I could
01:07:24If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:26Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I-I actually would, gladly
01:07:35But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:36Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:39And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:41Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:52It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:55You really think your fiancƩ is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:03Casey 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?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on Echo! Show them your talent, keep going!
01:09:05Get off the stage! You're ruining it!
01:09:07You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:11Alright, look
01:09:14It's done
01:09:15You're really gonna give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're gonna throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:35That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:43Read Records
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:51Mom
01:09:53You heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song
01:09:56Now it's over, it's over
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:17No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other act
01:10:20Hey!
01:10:21It's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, Mom, stop
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:43If 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 Read Records' CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily
01:10:56Hmm
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Read Records' CEO dig her own grave
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:16Right now
01:11:16Right now
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show
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
01:11:44Good
01:11:47Now let's make a hit
01:11:56Let's fucking go!
01:11:58Ha, ha, ha, ha
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right? So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I-I-I can't, I don't have but
01:12:22You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when has Casey Reed a musical junior?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar
01:12:37I am not the kind for a show
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing
01:12:45Stop! Stop it!
01:12:59Casey...
01:13:01You're Echo
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song! She just ripped it off!
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:17I didn't even make that version
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:22Go fix this
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song
01:13:34No, that was me!
01:13:36I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit!
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised
01:13:56200 million
01:13:57200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And...
01:14:05I want my name to be credited
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:11And one last thing
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:24And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:26And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:28So...
01:14:29What will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking
01:14:38I was wrong about you
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song
01:14:44I'm sorry
01:14:47And you?
01:14:49Do it
01:14:50Apologize to her
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it
01:14:58Tell the world the truth
01:14:59Scarlet?
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?
01:15:11I was wrong about you
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song
01:15:16I'm sorry
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it
01:15:23Apologize to her
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything
01:15:28Come on, let's hear it
01:15:30Tell the world the truth
01:15:31Scarlet
01:15:32Fine
01:15:33I'm not Echo
01:15:35I pretended
01:15:36And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:38They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:45Wait
01:15:45Wait
01:15:46That's not what I really meant
01:15:48Dexter
01:15:50She manipulated me
01:15:51You're still my fiance
01:15:52You believe
01:15:53Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see
01:15:55You fucking thought
01:15:56And you're a damn liar
01:15:59There
01:16:00Is the one who built my career
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:16:05She's the only one who ever cared about me
01:16:08Or loved me
01:16:10Our engagement is off
01:16:12And so is the record
01:16:14And so is the record
01:16:36Please don't cancel the album
01:16:37The album
01:16:39Terminating your contract
01:16:40And blacklisting you from the industry
01:16:42To where it's over
01:16:49Got yourself a deal case
01:16:59Hit it
01:17:04If we're not here for long
01:17:10Tell me where would we belong?
01:17:16My back is passed against the wall
01:17:21I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:26Your name's on fire
01:17:30In my veins
01:17:32It's burning for my chains
01:17:37Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:52But none of them can burn
01:18:16But none of them can burn
01:18:52The world wants to know, are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:57I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry, and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:09You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:16Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:30But you had to get in my way!
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:39No!
01:19:49Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh my god!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey. You've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:17save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:24Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28I said, but without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:40Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you, hmm?
01:20:52Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:54The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If 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.
01:21:51That's it, okay?
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.
01:22:12Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21I got you, beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:41I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:06No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:44They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I 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.
01:23:55And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:57And 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.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me.
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life List.
01:24:39The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:45You deserve it.
01:24:46You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:53You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:25:00I 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 clear.
01:25:11I'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.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:37I love you too.
01:25:50This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Then we'd better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed,
01:26:13who is my echo,
01:26:14but more importantly,
01:26:15she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:43I hope you enjoy.
01:26:49I remember to smile.
01:26:52I imagine we're way together.
01:26:55I hope you enjoy.
01:27:52Now I'm recreated.
01:27:54I hope you enjoy.
01:28:22I hope you enjoy.
01:28:26I hope you enjoy.
01:28:29I hope you enjoy.
01:28:39I hope you enjoy.
01:28:43I hope you enjoy.
01:28:50I hope you enjoy.
