00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records. The billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:04I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:10feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. My little man.
00:01:25I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35Because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff. Okay.
00:02:19It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:33You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:51the two beats Good's mind!
00:03:01I don't eat pretty, no better than that.
00:03:04Take a flight from an excuse. I'm always like I'm falling.
00:03:09I'm falling in mind so ph Shankly and forestry.
00:03:11I'm falling in mind so floppy is nothing!
00:03:13I need champagne in Spain.
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:35Wait for me, right here?
00:03:40Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:45he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:54Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:03She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:27I can't let Dexter's show get ruined! Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:48I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio!
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad, we've talked about this. In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:03But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:06You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:11But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:14Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:18When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:41Oh my god.
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:45Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:48Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:51Echo?
00:05:52Echo?
00:05:54Echo?
00:05:56Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:05:58Play Dexter!
00:06:00Play Dexter!
00:06:01God, where's Casey?
00:06:02She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04Play Dexter!
00:06:04The show is a disaster.
00:06:06The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her?
00:06:07I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:20This is Echo's novel.
00:06:24Are you her?
00:06:26Are you her?
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:31Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:34I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:44Well, Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:53All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:06Thanks.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:11Thanks.
00:07:12Thanks.
00:07:12Thanks.
00:07:15Thanks.
00:07:16Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36And next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44One thing to remember you by.
00:07:45I'm an angel.
00:07:49I'm an angel.
00:07:50I'm an angel.
00:07:51Yeah.
00:08:02Every time that I look, I remember the time I saw you by.
00:08:08One thing to remember you buy
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feeling again
00:08:16I know I was right at our time
00:08:54I know I was right at our time
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:36I loved her
00:09:38And she betrayed me
00:09:49Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:56Yes!
00:09:58Oh my god!
00:10:02Dexie!
00:10:03Yes!
00:10:05Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:09I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:17But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:24It was all a lie
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:31And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:41Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:52You promised me
00:10:57That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:10:59But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:06Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:09I gave you everything
00:11:13I loved you
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her
00:11:18Okay?
00:11:19I owe her, alright?
00:11:21I don't...
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:27What has she ever done for you?
00:11:29Scarlet produced my career
00:11:31She made me who I am today
00:11:33Okay?
00:11:35So that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is
00:11:52You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:11:57And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:02How could you believe her lies?
00:12:04Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:08You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:11Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:21He could have had that with me
00:12:24This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:27Isn't it?
00:12:30Not loyalty
00:12:31Just
00:12:33Your music
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hmm?
00:12:40This
00:12:41Is my notebook
00:12:43Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:45For Dexter's first triple platinum album
00:12:48That's my notebook
00:12:49How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:51I'm a musical genius
00:12:54And you're just
00:12:56Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:57Give it back
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me
00:13:01See what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't
00:13:04I know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexy, baby
00:13:08I know
00:13:09All about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:18Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:25Okay?
00:13:26Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:30Go wait in the car
00:13:31Please
00:13:37Casey
00:13:42Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:44So, please just
00:13:46Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:54Please
00:13:58Please
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway
00:14:15We're over
00:14:17Dex
00:14:21Goodbye
00:14:22Forever
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:14:58Dad
00:15:00I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career, but
00:15:05He doesn't want me
00:15:06He never did
00:15:07What happened, princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart
00:15:11She stole him
00:15:12And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:20Casey
00:15:31It looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:34Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:39Who are you?
00:15:41Let me go
00:15:42Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:43We won't hurt you
00:15:45We're your friends, too
00:15:46We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:50We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:15:54We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:15:58You're trying to steal him from his soul mate
00:16:01I wasn't stealing him
00:16:04We were in love
00:16:05Or I thought we were
00:16:08We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:14Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:21Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room
00:16:27Come alone
00:16:28Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:30And we'll spare them
00:16:31Choose your little assistant
00:16:33And they both die
00:16:36You've reached Casey
00:16:37I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:44Casey?
00:16:45So she never left a concert
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:50Dexter is coming
00:16:51We'll see who his true love is
00:16:54You psychos
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:02Obviously not
00:17:03She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:07You fucked him, too?
00:17:10God
00:17:10Our precious Dexter
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:15Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:18You don't deserve to live
00:17:20No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:23So, if Casey dies
00:17:25Then the truth dies with her
00:17:27That's not true
00:17:29First you steal my identity
00:17:31Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:33You're psychotic
00:17:34Oh, don't worry, Casey
00:17:36If you die today
00:17:37Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:39And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:43You're crazier than they are
00:17:45Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:51Casey
00:17:52Dexter
00:18:00Dexter
00:18:02Dexter
00:18:03Dexter
00:18:03Dexter, help me
00:18:04They hit me
00:18:05And then they tied me up
00:18:06And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:09Okay, guys
00:18:10Let's
00:18:11Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We
00:18:14We can't do that, Dexter
00:18:16We're your biggest fans
00:18:18We're doing this for you
00:18:20Okay, well
00:18:21If you love me
00:18:23Alright
00:18:23You'll put the gun down
00:18:25And then let these two go
00:18:26Please
00:18:26No, that's not how this works
00:18:29Dexie
00:18:29You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:32We're engaged now
00:18:34You can't let me die
00:18:35Dex
00:18:36All the love we ever had
00:18:38All the memories
00:18:39All the I love you's you told me
00:18:41Did they mean anything?
00:18:43You must choose one to live
00:18:46Will it be your future wife?
00:18:49Or your mistress?
00:18:51Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:55They said if I don't choose Scarlet
00:18:57Then they both die
00:18:58I can save Casey
00:18:59But I
00:19:00I have to break her heart
00:19:02Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:14And you loved him?
00:19:16You leeched off him
00:19:18For half a decade
00:19:19If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:22Go ahead
00:19:23Make your choice
00:19:24Choose now or they both die
00:19:26Dexter
00:19:27Dexter, please
00:19:28Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:30You dumped her
00:19:31You chose me
00:19:33Don't let them murder me
00:19:34That's enough
00:19:35We're pulling the trigger in
00:19:37Three
00:19:38Two
00:19:40One
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay
00:19:41I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:45Scarlet, alright?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet
00:19:51Dexter
00:19:52I'm gonna faint
00:19:53I was so scared
00:19:55He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice
00:19:58Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:01Now wait a minute
00:20:02You told me that
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:05Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate
00:20:09And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no
00:20:18I guess
00:20:19This is the end
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:32Goodbye, Dexter

00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die
00:20:59And for the record
00:21:00I never needed your money
00:21:02I was right to walk away
00:21:04Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:08Look, Casey
00:21:09You don't understand, alright?
00:21:10They were gonna make me
00:21:11I'm done

00:28:19our careers okay i guess you're right of course i am we are the industry's it couple so now forget
00:28:30about
00:28:30that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready i mean what was so special about her
00:28:36anyway her coarse tangled hair or her dull crusty skin or maybe those hideous god-awful clothes
00:28:52i'm echo i'm the reed heiress and i'm taking back everything that's mine
00:29:06how does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple we're honored
00:29:12and with
00:29:12reed records on our side our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade are you
00:29:17excited to
00:29:18meet this mysterious new ceo of reed records i hear ed reed is introducing the whole world to his
00:29:25daughter the heiress to the reed fortune do you think she's gonna be the new ceo i don't know who
00:29:30is
00:29:31this mysterious heiress she is ed reed's daughter i'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance
00:29:37whoever she is we need to impress her okay she could be our ticket to a number one album look
00:29:42here she is
00:29:43now
00:29:53no fucking way
00:30:14no fucking way
00:30:20casey
00:30:24casey
00:30:26hey dex long time no see
00:30:31dex has already moved on with scarlet i should be happy walking away from him so
00:30:38why does my heart still ache
00:30:55ignore her and instead focus on kissing up to ed reed so he introduces us to the new ceo
00:31:01you should listen to her dexter all we need to do is get on their good side and our album
00:31:06will go
00:31:07straight to number one she's right i have to impress ed reed and this new ceo if i want our
00:31:14album to be a hit
00:31:31scarlet what a terrible surprise i should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next
00:31:36sugar daddy but this party is for the elite of the music industry only i suggest you wait on the
00:31:41street
00:31:42corner with the other hookers but the party's just getting started i i can't miss the big announcement
00:31:52why so you can seduce the new ceo of reed records too i hear he's much more selective than ed
00:31:58reed so
00:31:59don't expect him to look at you twice and don't distract dexter tonight leave or i will have security
00:32:05escort you out i'd love to see you try
00:32:12you're jealous i loved him and those feelings don't just go away how could she change his mind so
00:32:18easily you can dress up all you want but you will always just be dexter's lowly little errant girl
00:32:29i thought she was somewhat important she's just a desperate assistant playing dress up imagine getting
00:32:36dragged by the scarlet heart i would never emotionally recover where do you think she got the jewels though
00:32:41probably out whoring herself to old men just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:48they got that right hmm is that so tell me something scarlet is it really me who's putting on an
00:32:58actor
00:33:01is it you how dare you
00:33:08careful the new ceo might be watching
00:33:12you think you're hot just because you're the real echo you may have the talent but you have no money
00:33:17and no connections besides the ones you make and pay by the hour hotel rooms but me i'm a beloved
00:33:23up
00:33:24becoming pop star and if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again i will get you
00:33:30canceled so
00:33:31fucking hard your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public

00:43:30Heart and mind
00:43:33I'm still missing you
00:43:42I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes.
00:43:45You're no longer welcome at Reed Records.
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment.
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me.
00:43:53I never gave up on us.
00:43:54She's got another truth.
00:43:56I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax.
00:44:06Fine.
00:44:08Let's not talk.
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied?
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:28Not anymore.
00:44:30I'm your former boss now.
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:39I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:43I just want you.
00:44:44And I know that you want me too.
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:50what we had.
00:44:52I've been trying to,
00:44:54but being this close again,
00:44:56it feels impossible.
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:10I don't care about the fans.
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:13I don't care what the record labels have to say.
00:45:15If you tell me
00:45:16that you want to be with me,
00:45:19we'll be together.
00:45:25We can tease each other all day.
00:45:28Until you finally admit
00:45:30that you still love me.
00:45:56You're right.
00:45:58I am like an instrument.
00:45:59The way I let you play me.
00:46:02After what you did,
00:46:03why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me.
00:46:06I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet.
00:46:10Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:15Hold on.
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:18the guy's a douchebag.
00:46:21A douchebag with over
00:46:22a hundred million strings.
00:46:24I mean,
00:46:25we have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill
00:46:27and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:28It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:30You don't need him.
00:46:31No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:33I don't think you,
00:46:34of all people,
00:46:36get to tell me what I need.
00:46:37Casey.
00:46:38Casey.
00:46:39Casey!
00:46:42Daisy has every right
00:46:43to be angry with me
00:46:44after what I did.
00:46:45I have to prove
00:46:46she can trust me again.
00:46:59Perfect Simon.
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me
00:47:02on such short notice.
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05women who speak too much.
00:47:07I've been an exception for you.
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:10in the third person?
00:47:12I don't know what that means.
00:47:14But,
00:47:16you want to hear
00:47:17one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online.
00:47:19I'm very excited
00:47:20about a potential partnership.
00:47:22Well,
00:47:24hired to be blown away.
00:47:26Actually,
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:29if you don't mind.
00:47:30So many musicians out there
00:47:31faking their music with AI,
00:47:32you know?
00:47:33Of course.
00:47:35But,
00:47:37you're not in a hurry.
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39to this potential partnership?
00:47:57Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka.
00:48:02I do love straight vodka.
00:48:06Hmm.
00:48:08But,
00:48:09you know what I
00:48:11actually
00:48:12love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18asshole pervs.
00:48:19My hair!
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think
00:48:23you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you
00:48:26to read records?
00:48:27Now you know
00:48:28who you're dealing with.
00:48:30not so fast.
00:48:32You thought you could
00:48:33just walk in here
00:48:34and demand a live performance
00:48:35from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look
00:48:38like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely.
00:48:40And a fraud.
00:48:43I'll be sure
00:48:44no label will ever
00:48:45sign you
00:48:46no matter how talented
00:48:48you are.
00:48:49I want me to label
00:48:50to sign me.
00:48:51Not when I can read records
00:48:53for myself.
00:48:56Don't be shy, Casey.
00:48:58I'm just hoping
00:48:58you get ready.
00:48:59The paparazzi
00:49:00will be here any minute
00:49:00to see my new mistress.
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03all over the tabloids.
00:49:05Everyone will see
00:49:06what a slut you are.
00:49:07How you slept
00:49:08your way to the top.
00:49:10Your poor father.
00:49:11He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13but to hand you
00:49:14and your company
00:49:15over to me.
00:49:16You're delusional.
00:49:17Stay away from me.
00:49:19Be honest.
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21with me.

00:49:31I'm fine.
00:49:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that.
00:49:40I'd love to see you try, sweetheart.
00:49:42You're just a wash-up addict
00:49:44and you do not have
00:49:45a leg to stand on.
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry.
00:49:52Jesus.
00:49:54We could have produced
00:49:55a sick-ass record together.
00:49:56You kind of wanted to
00:49:57defend this
00:49:58used-up slut.
00:50:00I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03Her name
00:50:04is Casey Wee.
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07of the industry

00:52:33today, Dexter.
00:52:36Please
00:52:37stop following me.
00:52:41Or else
00:52:42it's gonna get
00:52:42harder and
00:52:43harder to
00:52:44walk away.
00:52:53Great timing.
00:52:55As always.
00:52:57Why are you even
00:52:57here?
00:52:58Done what you
00:52:58asked.
00:52:59News of Sasha
00:53:00Silver's fraudulence
00:53:01and drug abuse
00:53:01have been leaked
00:53:02to the press.
00:53:03No label,
00:53:04studio,
00:53:04brand will go
00:53:05anywhere near.
00:53:05His net worth
00:53:06plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the
00:53:09rights to his
00:53:10music.
00:53:12I'm gonna give
00:53:13that to Casey
00:53:13as a gift.
00:53:19I heard what
00:53:20happened with
00:53:20Sasha.
00:53:21Now that was
00:53:22way too risky,
00:53:22Casey.
00:53:23Look, I'm far
00:53:24from Dexter's
00:53:25biggest fan,
00:53:25but that could
00:53:26have gotten
00:53:26real ugly
00:53:27if he hadn't
00:53:28shown up.
00:53:28I could have
00:53:29handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also
00:53:30a huge leak
00:53:31in the press.
00:53:32All of Sasha
00:53:33Silver's dirty
00:53:34laundry had out
00:53:35for everyone to
00:53:36see.
00:53:36He's been,
00:53:37what do you
00:53:37kids call it,
00:53:38canceled.
00:53:39Who took
00:53:39him down?
00:53:41Dexter Hayes.
00:53:47He even
00:53:48bought the
00:53:48rights to
00:53:48Sasha's music.
00:53:50He can't sing
00:53:51anything anywhere
00:53:52or get sued
00:53:53to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down
00:53:55Sasha's silver
00:53:56for me?
00:53:58Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad
00:54:00as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he
00:54:02should stop
00:54:02interfering
00:54:03himself with
00:54:03my life.
00:54:08The world-famous
00:54:09music producer
00:54:10Echo is set
00:54:11to finally
00:54:12reveal their
00:54:12identity at
00:54:13the legendary
00:54:14Universal Music
00:54:14Awards tomorrow
00:54:15night.
00:54:17Scarlet's
00:54:18getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to
00:54:19convince the world
00:54:20she's Echo
00:54:21before it can
00:54:21expose her lies.
00:54:23She can't keep
00:54:23up the act forever.
00:54:25Sooner or later,
00:54:25Dexter will realize
00:54:26she can't even
00:54:27hold a tune.
00:54:28Much less
00:54:29produce a hit track.
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing
00:54:31if she's not Echo.
00:54:33She knows Dexter
00:54:34wouldn't look at her
00:54:34twice, let alone
00:54:35marry her, if she
00:54:37wasn't pretending
00:54:38to be a genius
00:54:38producer.
00:54:39I don't know how
00:54:40she thinks she's
00:54:40going to get away
00:54:41with it.
00:54:43I think it's time
00:54:45the world finds out
00:54:46who the real Echo
00:54:47is.
00:54:51You want to go
00:54:52to the UMAs
00:54:53as Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me
00:54:55every year and I've
00:54:56always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam
00:54:58go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world
00:55:01finds out the truth
00:55:01about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world?
00:55:04Or Dexter?
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:11He made his bed
00:55:12when he proposed
00:55:13to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter
00:55:14deserves all the
00:55:15recognition of the
00:55:16world.
00:55:17But if you're
00:55:18going to go as Echo,
00:55:19oh, you're going
00:55:20to do it right.
00:55:21With the best
00:55:22equipment money
00:55:23can buy.
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:26I want people
00:55:27to see my princess
00:55:28for the queen
00:55:29that she is.
00:55:33You're the best,
00:55:34dad.
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes!
00:55:50It's so good
00:55:51to see you again.
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged.
00:55:57Yes, my future
00:55:58daughter-in-law
00:55:59is performing
00:56:00at the Universal
00:56:00Music Awards
00:56:01tomorrow and I'd
00:56:03like to gift her
00:56:03something to mark
00:56:04the occasion.
00:56:05So none of these
00:56:06mass-produced
00:56:07guitars.
00:56:08She's a musical
00:56:09genius.
00:56:10We need something
00:56:11one-of-a-kind
00:56:12just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect
00:56:15gift for her,
00:56:16a custom Fender
00:56:17signature
00:56:18Stratocaster.
00:56:24Please don't
00:56:25touch that.
00:56:26Those instruments
00:56:27are only for
00:56:28our VIP clientele.
00:56:30Ugh, it's you.
00:56:32Get this
00:56:33career-sabotaging
00:56:35stalker out of here.
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing
00:56:39our VIP customers.
00:56:40I have to ask
00:56:41you to leave
00:56:42now.
00:56:47I'm the CEO
00:56:48of Reed Records.
00:56:51I have just as
00:56:52much of a right
00:56:53to be here as you.
00:56:54Because of your
00:56:55Nepo baby
00:56:55connections,
00:56:56we all know
00:56:57money can't
00:56:58buy talent.
00:57:00Tell that to
00:57:01Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter
00:57:04Hayes' fiancé
00:57:05and creative
00:57:06collaborator.
00:57:07And you don't
00:57:08really know
00:57:08anything about
00:57:09music.
00:57:10Yeah.
00:57:11You're right.
00:57:13Uh, in that
00:57:14case, you
00:57:15should have
00:57:16this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:27Oh, my God!
00:57:30What?
00:57:34Oops.
00:57:35Slipped out
00:57:36of my hands.
00:57:37My bad.
00:57:39Oh!
00:57:39Are you
00:57:40insane?
00:57:41You just
00:57:42destroyed
00:57:42a million
00:57:43dollar
00:57:43guitar!
00:57:45Security!
00:57:45Take this
00:57:46woman away!
00:57:47Hold on
00:57:48just one
00:57:48second.
00:57:49To Dexter
00:57:50Hayes?
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:57:53Uh, I need
00:57:54to speak to the
00:57:54owner about an
00:57:55offer.
00:57:56You think you
00:57:56set that up for
00:57:57me?
00:57:57Yes, of course,
00:57:58Mr. Hayes.
00:58:01Just kidding.
00:58:04It's all
00:58:05yours now.
00:58:13Scarlet, ignore
00:58:15this wannabe
00:58:17musician.
00:58:17We'll find a
00:58:19better option.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27Beyonce used this
00:58:28on her last album.
00:58:29This instrument is
00:58:31worthy of
00:58:32Echo, the genius
00:58:33producer.
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey,
00:58:36hey, hey, hey.
00:58:36Actually, actually,
00:58:38this guitar is no
00:58:40longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire
00:58:42collection is on hold
00:58:43for the new owner.
00:58:45I'm gonna just...
00:58:48My apologies, my
00:58:49apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no,
00:58:52no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look, we just
00:58:55want the one guitar.
00:58:56I'm sure we can come
00:58:57to a generous
00:58:58agreement.
00:58:59You could pay all
00:58:59you want for the
00:59:00guitar, but it's
00:59:01not gonna stop
00:59:02Scarlet from choking
00:59:04on the stage.
00:59:08How dare you,
00:59:10you little bitch!
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:20Hi, Dexy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just
00:59:27insulted your
00:59:28fiancé.
00:59:30You need to do
00:59:31something.
00:59:31Mom, do you really
00:59:33want to have a
00:59:33conversation right here
00:59:34and now about the
00:59:35current status of my
00:59:36engagement?
00:59:38Scarlet's talent as a
00:59:39producer is the reason
00:59:40you're as famous as
00:59:42you are, Dexter.
00:59:43The least you could do
00:59:45is show her a little
00:59:46respect.
00:59:48You know what?
00:59:49Actually, I'm sorry,
00:59:50you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect
00:59:53two on the one person
00:59:54who's always been
00:59:55there for me.
00:59:58Please ring up the
00:59:58guitar for Miss
00:59:59Hunt.
01:00:00I knew you would
01:00:01support me.
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not
01:00:03for sale.
01:00:04You know, why don't
01:00:05you ask the new
01:00:06owner how much it
01:00:07costs and I'll pay it
01:00:08whatever it is right
01:00:09here and now.
01:00:11Miss Reed, as the new
01:00:13owner of the store, how
01:00:14much would you like to
01:00:15charge the guitar for?
01:00:16Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new
01:00:23owner?
01:00:25Consider a late
01:00:26birthday gift for my
01:00:28former assistant.
01:00:29You did this for me.
01:00:31You really think I need
01:00:32a music store?
01:00:34Well, as CEO of Reed
01:00:36Records, you probably
01:00:36don't know.
01:00:37But I'm someone who
01:00:39cares about you a lot.
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter, are you
01:00:44insane?
01:00:45Jane, she's not even
01:00:46a real musician and
01:00:48you gave her the
01:00:49entire store?
01:00:50You're going to make
01:00:51us pay her for a
01:00:54guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay.
01:00:56Scarlett could have
01:00:56it for free as long
01:00:58as she shows us the
01:00:59big hit that she's
01:01:00working on.
01:01:03Casey, I am not
01:01:05stooping to your
01:01:05level.
01:01:06And besides, we're
01:01:08late for hair and
01:01:08makeup.
01:01:09I will talk to you
01:01:10about this later.
01:01:13You will regret
01:01:14this.
01:01:15Casey has done
01:01:16nothing but ruin
01:01:17you.
01:01:18She's just a pretty
01:01:19face with no talent
01:01:21to back it up.
01:01:22Thanks, Mom.
01:01:29One, I'm not your
01:01:30assistant anymore.
01:01:31It's Miss Reed, and
01:01:33I'm the CEO of Reed
01:01:34Records.
01:01:36Two, my birthday
01:01:37was months ago.
01:01:38Actually, the night
01:01:39that you proposed to
01:01:40Scarlett, so your gift
01:01:42means nothing.
01:01:45Did you know I was
01:01:46actually going to tell
01:01:47you my secret that
01:01:48night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53Hold on, what are you
01:01:54talking about?
01:01:54What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him
01:01:58the truth?
01:02:00No.
01:02:01That I wanted to
01:02:02spend every single day
01:02:03of the rest of my life
01:02:04with you?
01:02:08But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:22Don't pay attention to
01:02:23anything she just said.
01:02:24I want you to get the
01:02:25best equipment and the
01:02:26best instruments to her
01:02:27collection.
01:02:27Yes, sir.
01:02:31Oh, one more thing.
01:02:33She's fired.
01:02:36Yes, sir.
01:02:40Dexter, you can't do
01:02:41this.
01:02:42I love you.
01:02:55Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart,
01:02:57you're on in five.
01:02:58The broadcast will
01:02:59begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:03Millions of fans are
01:03:04going to be hearing
01:03:05your song.
01:03:06It's exactly what you
01:03:07deserve.
01:03:08The world needs to
01:03:09hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm
01:03:12about to perform on the
01:03:13Universal Music Awards
01:03:15stage.
01:03:16All right, guys,
01:03:17it's time.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:34You can't start the
01:03:35show without me.
01:03:39I knew you'd make it.
01:03:40Of course she did.
01:03:42Her daddy probably got
01:03:42her a ticket after she
01:03:43cried about being left
01:03:44out.
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlet.
01:03:47You know, I'm actually
01:03:48surprised you showed up.
01:03:49I thought it would be too
01:03:50painful for you to
01:03:51witness people with
01:03:52actual talent perform
01:03:54when you yourself have
01:03:56none.
01:03:56Mm.
01:03:57I'm getting a lecture
01:03:59about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh.
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's
01:04:03real and who's fake
01:04:04tonight.
01:04:05Wreck-a-lake,
01:04:06Scarlet.
01:04:07Or should I say,
01:04:08Echo?
01:04:10Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35The playback's down.
01:04:37The track's gone,
01:04:38completely white.
01:04:40You have another version
01:04:40of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make
01:04:46that version.
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor
01:04:48Schultz's producer to
01:04:49send me one of her
01:04:49reject tracks.
01:04:50Go fix this.
01:04:52Now.
01:04:54This is bad.
01:04:55All right, everyone's
01:04:56just out there staring
01:04:57at us.
01:04:58We're gonna burn the
01:04:58broadcast and the label's
01:05:00gonna drop us.
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:02I have an idea.
01:05:05You're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes.
01:05:19It's true.
01:05:21I'm Echo,
01:05:22the award-winning producer
01:05:23and Dexter Hayes'
01:05:25longtime mystery collaborator.
01:05:27Then prove it.
01:05:29Go ahead.
01:05:30Why don't you mix us
01:05:31a live track right here,
01:05:32right now?
01:05:33Come on.
01:05:34You're a genius producer,
01:05:35right?
01:05:36I mean,
01:05:37this is your chance
01:05:38to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean,
01:05:39the whole world is watching.
01:05:41I don't know what any
01:05:42of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying
01:05:45to sabotage me.
01:05:46I must have another file
01:05:48I can play.
01:05:48I'll just make it look
01:05:50like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:53Watch 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
01:06:21with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:23Okay,
01:06:24can you boost the treble
01:06:25on the EQ in the middle
01:06:26and can you pan from
01:06:27stage left to stage right
01:06:29real quick?
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:39Damn,
01:06:39I guess you're going to
01:06:40have to do it
01:06:41the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording
01:06:43the instruments live,
01:06:44looping the...
01:06:45Don't listen to her.
01:06:46She doesn't know
01:06:47what it takes
01:06:47to make a track
01:06:48of my caliber.
01:06:49And this isn't the first time
01:06:51one of Dexter's tracks
01:06:52have been corrupted.
01:06:53If I didn't know any better,
01:06:55I'd think you were trying
01:06:56to sabotage her.
01:06:57Scarlet, Scarlet,
01:06:58why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real.
01:07:00Okay,
01:07:01you're Echo.
01:07:02Okay,
01:07:03so just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:08You know what?
01:07:09You have performance anxiety?
01:07:18Scarlet,
01:07:19you are our only hope now.
01:07:21You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could,
01:07:24if I had something
01:07:25other than this shoddy
01:07:26Reed Records music equipment
01:07:28to work with.
01:07:28Casey,
01:07:29if you're such a genius,
01:07:30why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh,
01:07:32I actually would,
01:07:34gladly,
01:07:34but it's actually
01:07:35your big night,
01:07:36so why don't you
01:07:37show everyone
01:07:37the brilliant Echo
01:07:38and how you made
01:07:39Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:42Echo!
01:07:43Echo!
01:07:44Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo,
01:07:48okay?
01:07:49Record some MIDI instruments,
01:07:51lay them down,
01:07:51make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple.
01:07:52You know how to do this.
01:07:54You really think
01:07:55your fiancé
01:07:56is going to be able
01:07:57to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean,
01:07:58if she goes down,
01:08:00you go down with her.
01:08:02Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:04I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close
01:08:07to marrying Dexter
01:08:08and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:10Boop.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius
01:08:35to make that racket
01:08:36sound like music.
01:08:41Okay.
01:08:57Oh my God,
01:08:59is Scarlet Heart
01:08:59tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on, Echo.
01:09:02Show them your talent.
01:09:03Keep going.
01:09:05Get off the stage.
01:09:06You're ruining the UMAs.
01:09:10All right, look.
01:09:13It's done.
01:09:15You're really going to give up
01:09:16that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it
01:09:19all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:20Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career,
01:09:23that I fought for
01:09:24for however,
01:09:24how many years?
01:09:26Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close to
01:09:33once told me
01:09:34that there's a lot more
01:09:35to life than just your career.
01:09:37And who knows,
01:09:38maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:40as a personal assistant
01:09:41for the new CEO
01:09:42of Reed Records.
01:09:45Dexter,
01:09:46stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:48Your entire life's work
01:09:50is on the line.
01:09:51Mom,
01:09:52you heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song.
01:09:56Now, it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:11Well,
01:10:12I guess it's time
01:10:13for the next act
01:10:14of this show.
01:10:16No,
01:10:17no,
01:10:17there's no,
01:10:18there's,
01:10:18there's no other,
01:10:19everybody,
01:10:20hey!
01:10:20It's time to let a real musician
01:10:22take the stage.
01:10:30What the hell do you think
01:10:32you're doing?
01:10:32Mom,
01:10:33stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean,
01:10:38you can stay
01:10:39unless you want to go down
01:10:40as the worst performer
01:10:41in UMA history.
01:10:43If I couldn't mix
01:10:44a whole live track,
01:10:45what makes you think
01:10:45you could?
01:10:46For one,
01:10:47I know what I'm doing.
01:10:49And if you don't?
01:10:51Will you step down
01:10:52as Reed Records CEO
01:10:53if you fail?
01:10:55Happily.
01:10:56Hmm.
01:10:59Everyone,
01:11:00we're about to watch
01:11:01the Reed Records CEO
01:11:03dig her own grave.
01:11:04It seems like Echo
01:11:05is having technical difficulties
01:11:07with her track.
01:11:08Since we're live,
01:11:09let's make something new.
01:11:11Dexter,
01:11:12sing me the first line
01:11:12of your song,
01:11:13just your voice.
01:11:15Right now.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:23I am not
01:11:25the kind
01:11:26for sure.
01:11:30This is not
01:11:32a one-time thing.
01:11:34Lights are low,
01:11:36but I still
01:11:37will.
01:11:39This morning's
01:11:40got
01:11:41a sting.
01:11:43Good.
01:11:46Now let's make a hit.
01:11:55Let's fucking go.
01:12:12Wait,
01:12:13what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean,
01:12:16you produced this,
01:12:17right?
01:12:17So do you want to go ahead
01:12:18and take over?
01:12:19I can't.
01:12:20I don't have much.
01:12:21You don't need anything
01:12:23except for a band
01:12:24and raw talent.
01:12:25I mean,
01:12:26you are a musician,
01:12:26right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed
01:12:32a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound,
01:12:35it's familiar.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:45Stop it!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:50Stop it!
01:12:51Stop it!
01:12:51Stop it!
01:12:51Stop it!
01:12:51Stop it!
01:12:57Stop it!
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:01Does this mean
01:13:02Casey Reed
01:13:04is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song!
01:13:07She just ripped it off!
01:13:08Who's stealing now,
01:13:09Scarlett?
01:13:10Don't listen to her!
01:13:13I'm Echo!
01:13:16I didn't even
01:13:17make that version.
01:13:18I had to pay
01:13:19Taylor Swift's producer
01:13:20to send me one of her reject tracks.
01:13:22Go fix this.
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth.
01:13:32She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me.
01:13:36I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter,
01:13:42so that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:44You're welcome to put it on your next album,
01:13:46but you're going to have to pay me for it.
01:13:48Where do I sign?
01:13:50I don't think you could afford my fee.
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised.
01:13:56$200 million.
01:13:57$200 million?
01:13:59For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal.
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And I want my name to be credited.
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed.
01:14:10And one last thing.
01:14:12I want a public apology
01:14:15from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:18Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:22I could just go ahead and leave,
01:14:24and then Scarlet could finish the album,
01:14:25and Dexter's career could crash and burn.
01:14:28So, what will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking.
01:14:38I was wrong about you.
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:47And you?
01:14:48Do it.
01:14:50Apologize to her.
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:52Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:54She ruined everything!
01:14:56Come on, let's hear it.
01:14:57Tell the world the truth.
01:14:59Scarlet?
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!
01:15:10I was wrong about you.
01:15:12You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:15I'm sorry.
01:15:19And you?
01:15:21Do it.
01:15:22Apologize to her.
01:15:23That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:28Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlet?
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo!
01:15:35I pretended,
01:15:35and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:38They are happy!
01:15:41They are happy!
01:15:44Wait!
01:15:46That's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter!
01:15:49She manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiancé!
01:15:52You believe-
01:15:52Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you.
01:15:55You fucking bought it, and you're a damn liar!
01:15:59Scarlet, you are the one who built my career.
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song!
01:16:04She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:16:10Our engagement is off, and so is the record.
01:16:35Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album?
01:16:38Terminating your contract,
01:16:40and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:42Career's over.
01:16:48You got yourself a deal case.
01:16:50You got yourself a deal case.
01:16:58Hit it.
01:17:04If we're not here for long,
01:17:09Tell me, where would we belong?
01:17:16My 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 in my veins.
01:17:32It's burning from my chains.
01:17:38Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:46Who am I to look like?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:51But you're not all thinking about
01:17:55yeah that you're a judgment.
01:18:25We're not at home.
01:18:25No, my church just fell down.
01:18:32.
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know,
01:18:52are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:56I think everyone saw the broadcast,
01:18:58and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:00You are a revolution in the music industry,
01:19:02and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:08You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:11You ruined everything!
01:19:15Dexter was gonna be mine!
01:19:18I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:29But you had to get in my way!
01:19:34That won't happen again!
01:19:35Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38No!
01:19:46Dex, no!
01:19:47No!
01:19:48No!
01:19:49Dex!
01:19:50Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey.
01:19:57Hey.
01:19:57Hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:01You still love him, don't you?
01:20:04Dexter saved my life, but...
01:20:07As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:10You know, if you say so, but...
01:20:13Have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:16It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:23Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would've lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean...
01:20:42A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:50Hmm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival.
01:20:58And sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:07Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:38He could've punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Hopefully, he'll recover.
01:21:47But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:11Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:43But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49You saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:58And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:01And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:05No.
01:23:05Listen. No.
01:23:08Is that really what you want?
01:23:10To 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.
01:23:36That horrible night when I chose Scarlet...
01:23:40I only did it because I had to.
01:23:43They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:47I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:10I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:13Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:22My pop star.
01:24:28Which...
01:24:29Reminds me...
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline The Wild Light List.
01:24:38The Wild Light Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:47You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay? I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are, or what you have, or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career. I'd give it up in a second if it meant
01:25:12just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17You do it together.
01:25:22I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:25Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:36I love you, too.
01:25:50This is the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of
01:26:18my life.
01:26:20So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:42You just let alone.
01:26:47Every time I remember to smile, I imagine a world way together.
01:27:07This goes on
01:27:10The stuff in the stockings
01:27:13But I am still walking
01:27:15For all we do
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated
01:27:22Now I'm recreating
01:27:25Every time I look at the moon
01:27:29From a dream of a night
01:27:31That's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:38That it's time for you and me
01:27:43Cause the bed so far
01:27:48We're just a little
01:27:53Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:58I forget where I am
01:28:00Just a little
01:28:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night
01:28:09That's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah
