Short filmTranscript
00:00:16My name is Casey Reed. No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records. The billion-dollar
00:00:22music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys. I chose to
00:00:29stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes, the rock
00:00:35star I secretly built from the ground up. I'm his assistant, his lover, and his
00:00:41ghostwriter. We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:59Dex, we're backstage. Someone might see us.
00:01:04I am so done hiding you. I have no idea what you do to me, Casey, how you make me
00:01:10feel.
00:01:11You are my favorite song. I lose control. My little man.
00:01:25I want you, Dex. I need you.
00:01:35Because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight. I'm gonna sing
00:01:42the song that I wrote to you. I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody. I'm gonna claim
00:01:47every inch of you. Note by note. In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls? Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:14Nothing. It's just work stuff. Okay.
00:02:19It's time I come clean, too. Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me. His echo and his Casey.
00:02:33You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:00He's trying to poke me,
00:03:01he's trying to smoke me.
00:03:08I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:18We're a terrible robot
00:03:19And I take the money on me
00:03:23And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:40Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:45he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:54Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:11I've got a really special one for you all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:24Shit! The backing mix is corrupted. I can't let Dexter's show get ruined. Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here? I need your help.
00:04:38What the hell is she up to?
00:04:43Well, I guess the, uh, system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:48I'll be right back.
00:04:53There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:56Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:58Dad! We've talked about this.
00:05:00In 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?
00:05:49Echo?
00:05:56Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:05:58Play Dexter! Play Dexter!
00:06:01God, where's Casey?
00:06:02She 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? I need her.
00:06:08No, Dexter.
00:06:10I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's novel.
00:06:24Are you her?
00:06:26Are 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.
00:06:45Casey 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.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:18Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:25At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:36And next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44I'm a man as I am.
00:08:02Every time that I look, I remember the time I saw you, I'm one thing to remember you, I'm one
00:08:11thing to remember you.
00:08:11The time I looked into your eye
00:08:14The secret feeling again
00:08:16I know I was running out of time
00:09:02I know I was running out of time
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:31He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:35I loved her, and she betrayed me
00:09:49Oh my god! Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:56Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:03Yes!
00:10:05Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:09I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:14No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:17But she made my career
00:10:20And 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
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:54You promised me
00:10:57That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:10:59But instead, you propose
00:11:02And 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? I 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? So, so, so that's why
00:11:36What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:51Well, I know she is
00:11:52You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough
00:11:56For 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
00:12:32Just
00:12:34Your music
00:12:35What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:38Hmm?
00:12:40This is 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?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius
00:12:53And you're just Dexter's little errand girl
00:12:57Give it back
00:12:59Ow!
00:12:59Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:01Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:03I don't
00:13:04I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:06Dexter, baby
00:13:08I know all about girls like her
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:14She's taking advantage of you
00:13:17She has been for years
00:13:18Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:22Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:23Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:25Okay?
00:13:26Well, why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car
00:13:31Please
00:13:37Casey
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:45So, please just
00:13:46Just tell me the truth
00:13:48Okay, right now
00:13:49Or we'll lose us forever
00:13:58Please
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:09You don't trust me anyway
00:14:16We're over
00:14:18Dex
00:14:21Goodbye
00:14:22Forever
00:14:23Forever
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:47Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:00I gave Dex everything
00:15:02I made his career but
00:15:04He doesn't want me
00:15:06He never did
00:15:07What happened princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart
00:15:11She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:15I'll come get you
00:15:20Peace

00:15:45think from heaven
00:15:46Sleeping
00:15:46your friends too. We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart. We're just trying to teach
00:15:52this filthy skink a lesson. We saw you kissing Dexter backstage. You're trying to steal him
00:16:00from his soulmate. I wasn't stealing him. We were in love. Or I thought we were. We'll see about
00:16:09that, won't we? The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:21Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room. Come alone. Choose to save Scarlet Heart and we'll spare them. Choose your little
00:16:33assistant and they both die. You've reached Casey. I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:40Where the hell is my daughter? Casey? So she never left a concert. Get back to the concert
00:16:48hall now. Dexter is coming. We'll see who his true love is. You psychos. Are you hoping
00:16:58that he chooses you over his fiance? Obviously not. She's just some nobody who slept with him
00:17:06to break into the industry. You fucked him too? God. Our precious Dexter. Soiled by a dirty
00:17:14star fucker. Girls like you don't deserve him. You don't deserve to live. No one knows what the
00:17:21real Echo looks like. So if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her. That's not true. First you
00:17:30steal my identity now you're trying to get me murdered. You're psychotic. No, don't worry
00:17:35Casey. If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the
00:17:41least single on our new album. You're crazier than they are. Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:51Dexter. Dexter. Dexter. Dexter, help me. They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're
00:18:07trying to kill me. Okay guys, let's just put the guns down, okay? We can't do that, Dexter.
00:18:16We're your biggest fans. We're doing this for you. Okay, well if you love me, alright? You'll put
00:18:24the gun down and then let these two go, please. No, that's not how this works. Dexy, you would
00:18:30be nothing without Echo. We're engaged now, you can't let me die. Dex, all the love we ever
00:18:37had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me, do they mean anything? You must
00:18:44choose one to live. Will it be your future wife or your mistress? Who really holds the
00:18:52key to your heart, Dexter Hayes? They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die.
00:18:58I can save Casey, but I have to break her heart. Which one really holds the key to your heart,
00:19:05Dexter Hayes?
00:19:11You never really loved me, did you? And you loved him? You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:19If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead, make your choice. Choose now or they both
00:19:25die. Dexter, Dexter, please, think of everything I've done for you. You dumped her, you chose
00:19:32me, don't let them murder me. That's enough. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay. I can't risk them killing Casey. Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet.
00:19:51Dexter, I'm gonna faint. I was so scared. He chose Scarlet? Good choice. Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:01Now, wait a minute. You told me that...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes. Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate,
00:20:09and we'll take care of your scandalous side piece. No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:19I guess this is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:28Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:32Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:34Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:45Let's go! Let's go!
00:20:47Go! Okay.
00:20:48Okay.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:51Okay.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:56Okay?
00:20:57You left me to die!
00:20:59And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:02I was right to walk away.
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:08Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:10They were gonna make me...
00:21:11I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:16Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey, Casey.
00:21:23Hey.
00:21:31Casey, Casey, stop, please, stop, please, please.
00:21:35We're gonna go...
00:21:36Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:38You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:44You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:47He has Echo.
00:21:48Well, yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:51Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:57Fame changed me?
00:22:00Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I 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.
00:22:17No.
00:22:18Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:19I was trying to...
00:22:44Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records.
00:22:50So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:09Dexter, we can't have our million for you.
00:23:11We're going to forgive you.
00:23:14I'm trying to have everything you wanted.
00:23:16I'm trying to have everything you wanted.
00:23:17I'm trying to have everything you wanted.
00:23:17I'm trying to have everything you wanted.
00:23:20I'm trying to have everything you wanted.
00:23:20Maybe you want it.
00:23:27Casey!
00:23:32Casey!
00:23:34Let me explain.
00:23:38Scarlet.
00:23:39Carlos.
00:23:39Saves. You should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:47I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:50She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:58Dexter, 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.
00:24:05I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:17Forget him, princess.
00:24:19You are much too talented to be running some rock star's errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:28Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:32announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:50My 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, all right, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:22The echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:27And you can't even fix a simple beat or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:35Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:46Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:50It's just your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing.
00:25:53He'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.
00:26:10Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:12It's dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:19You're fired.
00:26:27See it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:46Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09All right.
00:27:10She broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:12So why can't I do the same?
00:27:32Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:37The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:48Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:50Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:01Okay, look, I 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?
00:28:18He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:23Of 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?
00:28:37Her coarse tangled hair?
00:28:42Her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:45Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:51I'm Echo.
00:28:53I'm the Reed heiress.
00:28:55And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:00Scarlet, open it.
00:29:01Show me small.
00:29:02Come on, Dexter.
00:29:04Hold it.
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:11We'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?
00:29:21I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed merchant.
00:29:28Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:29I don't know.
00:29:30Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:32She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:34I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:39She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:41Look!
00:29:42Here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:29:55Hey, you...
00:30:19Casey?
00:30:24Casey?
00:30:25Casey?
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?
00:30:55Ignore her.
00:30:56And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:01You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right. I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a
00:31:15hit.
00:31:31Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:37But 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. I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why? So 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.
00:32:01And don't distract Dexter tonight. Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:11Are you jealous?
00:32:13I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away. How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:20You can dress up all you want. But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:29I thought she was someone important. She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:35Imagine getting dragged by THE Scarlet Heart. I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where 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.
00:32:48Hmm. They got that right.
00:32:50Hmm. Is that so?
00:32:53Tell me something, Scarlet. Is it really me? Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:01Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:07Careful.
00:33:08The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:12You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:15You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:20-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:25And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking
00:33:31hard your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:36Mr. Reed. Hi, uh, Dexter Hayes. Thank you so much for the invite. Um, you've always been a true hero
00:33:44of mine.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:55Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:01daughter.
00:34:02Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:11I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:18I think we could really make something special.
00:34:20Yeah. Well, 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, uh, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:33make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:35Why don't you put in a good word yourself? The new CEO is already here.
00:34:51Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey. Casey.
00:34:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days, and, well, I guess I'm just surprised that
00:35:04instead you just showed up here.
00:35:05I 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.
00:35:16Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days. What, you missed me already?
00:35:21Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:24This event is invite only.
00:35:30Yeah. Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:35You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:42night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her. Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right
00:35:49here, right now.
00:35:49Yeah, right. The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO. You have no
00:35:56power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys. Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album. Can we have this conversation
00:36:05later?
00:36:05Aw, Dex. You forgot to say please.
00:36:12Wait, Casey, what, what?
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:27Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:33But 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.
00:36:41Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:46Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:51No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:53It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:57Mr. Reed is looking right at us. He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:01All right, this is it. He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:11The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess.
00:37:17In the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:20Casey Reed.
00:37:24What?
00:37:30No.
00:37:38Casey.
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.
00:38:03Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:05Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her base.
00:38:09She just committed career suicide.
00:38:11Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:15Ugh.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad.
00:38:19This is too much.
00:38:21A little something from your old man.
00:38:22And 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.
00:38:31I 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.
00:38:40This 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?
00:38:57What suits you?
00:38:59Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:04Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, I, I love, I just...
00:39:14I still miss you.
00:39:15I thought you'd stay the same all of those years.
00:39:20I just...
00:39:21I still miss you.
00:39:30Ah.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:35Knowing 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, I promise...
00:39:46Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:47Why 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...
00:40:02I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:03I mean, you gotta understand, I...
00:40:05You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:07I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:08And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:12I didn't want any of that to happen!
00:40:15You have to believe me, please!
00:40:16I was just trying to...
00:40:19Look, I...
00:40:20Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:22I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:23Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:26Tank my career?
00:40:30Oh, tank your career.
00:40:32I made his career.
00:40:35I...
00:40:35Loved 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...
00:40:46This...
00:40:47This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:40:51Why...
00:40:51You left...
00:40:52Me...
00:40:53For dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad...
00:40:57Threw me to the curb...
00:40:59For the fame...
00:41:01The fortune...
00:41:02The fans...
00:41:03No, no, please...
00:41:03No, no, no!
00:41:04Actually, I think...
00:41:06It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:10Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:17Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:30Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God!
00:41:36You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:43not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:45Casey, 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. She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant Nepo baby with no
00:41:57real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo. She can produce...
00:42:01Wait, wait, Casey!
00:42:02Casey!
00:42:02She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records. Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:08She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom, stop. You're my mom, not my manager.
00:42:15All right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:18And now, I'm getting stronger.
00:42:26Yeah, I'll see.
00:42:35And now, I'm getting stronger.
00:42:37And now, I'm getting stronger.
00:42:37You ain't making stronger.
00:42:38You lose.
00:42:39I've known you for years.
00:42:43I thought you'd say the same
00:42:47All of those years
00:42:52I've broken their own place
00:43:00In a twine
00:43:03Lost in my life
00:43:06I'm still missing you
00:43:10I'm still
00:43:12I'm still
00:43:14I'm still missing you
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:27It all twine
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
00:43:47I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:51Casey's wrong about me
00:43:52I never gave up on us
00:43:54She's got another truth
00:43:56I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:06Fine
00:44:08Let'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
00:44:40About the contract
00:44:41I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:44And I know that you want me too
00:44:47Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:50What we had
00:44:52I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:58Impossible
00:44:59You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:10About 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 over
00:45:28Until you finally admit
00:45:30That you
00:45:32Still
00:45:32Love 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
00:46:13Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:15Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:18The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:24I mean, we have a Dexter Hay size hole to fill
00:46:27And he could be the next big thing
00:46:28It's not safe
00:46:29Casey, you don't need him
00:46:31He'll hurt you
00:46:32No, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you, of all people
00:46:35Get 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 timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:01Thank you for meeting me
00:47:02On such short notice
00:47:03Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:05Women who speak too much
00:47:07I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:12I don't know what that means
00:47:14But
00:47:16You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:19I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:23I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:26Actually
00:47:27I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:29So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know
00:47:33Of course
00:47:35But
00:47:36You're not in a hurry
00:47:37Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership?
00:47:57Shall we?
00:47:58How can I resist?
00:48:00I do love straight vodka
00:48:08But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:12Love even more than that?
00:48:15What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:18Asshole pervs
00:48:19My hair
00:48:20What the fuck?
00:48:22You really think you can drug me?
00:48:24And then what?
00:48:25Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:32You thought you could just walk in here and demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:39Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:43I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:46No matter how talented you are
00:48:49I want me to be able to sign me
00:48:51Not when I get read records
00:48:53Or myself
00:48:56I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:00To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:03All over the tabloids
00:49:05Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:10Your poor father
00:49:11He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:17Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey!
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off
00:49:24What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:28Extra hands
00:49:29Are you okay?
00:49:31I'm fine
00:49:36What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that
00:49:40I'd love to see you try, sweetheart
00:49:42You're just a wash-up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:46Okay?
00:49:51Okay, I'm sorry
00:49:53Jesus
00:49:54We could have produced a sick-ass record together
00:49:56If you hadn't wanted to defend this used-up slut
00:49:59I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:03Her name
00:50:04Is Casey Wee
00:50:06And she's the future
00:50:07Of the industry
00:50:08That you want so badly
00:50:09Fucking in!
00:50:11Your career is dead
00:50:12Sasha
00:50:13I'm not sure of that
00:50:16Let's go
00:50:24Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey, I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:39My business
00:50:40Is none of your concern
00:50:41If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:43What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:45Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:48He could have done-
00:50:48Okay!
00:50:49I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:51I'm not your assistant
00:50:54Anymore
00:50:54So, it's not your concern
00:50:56Where I am
00:50:57Or what I'm doing
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:59So stop
00:51:01Following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:09Stop following you
00:51:10The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:13Fucking decisions
00:51:16And when I've made up for all the danger I've put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:23Too interested in my personal life, Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiancé be jealous?
00:51:33I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:37Want to marry
00:51:39Scarlet
00:51:41You don't fucking listen
00:51:42Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:45Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So what am I supposed to do?
00:52:00Pretend she doesn't exist and be the Bob Star's secret side piece again?
00:52:09I should push him away but I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:17and you know it.
00:52:28Boss, I have news!
00:52:31Thank you for your help today, Dexter.
00:52:36Please, stop following me.
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder and harder to walk away.
00:52:53Great timing.
00:52:55As always, why are you even here?
00:52:58I've done 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.
00:53:05His net worth plummeted to zero.
00:53:08Good.
00:53:09Buy all the rights 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,
00:53:25but that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:28I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press.
00:53:32All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry are 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 or get sued to hell and back.
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver for me?
00:53:57Maybe.
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought.
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life.
00:54:08The world-famous music producer Echo is set to finally reveal their identity at the legendary
00:54:14Universal Music Awards tomorrow night.
00:54:17Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo before 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.
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice, let 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 going to get away with it.
00:54:43I think it's time the world finds out who the real Echo is.
00:54:51You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:54They've invited me every year and I've always refused.
00:54:57I've let this scam go on long enough.
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:03The world or Dexter.
00:55:08This isn't about him.
00:55:11He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet.
00:55:14Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world.
00:55:17But if you're going to go as Echo, oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:21With the best equipment money can buy.
00:55:26I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is.
00:55:33You're the best, Dad.
00:55:48Mrs. Hayes, it's so good to see you again.
00:55:53How's Dexter?
00:55:55Engaged?
00:55:57Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow,
00:56:02and I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion.
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars.
00:56:08She's a musical genius.
00:56:10We need something one-of-a-kind just like her.
00:56:13Of course.
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her.
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster.
00:56:24Please don't touch that.
00:56:26Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele.
00:56:30Yeah, 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.
00:56:40I have to ask you to leave now.
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, we all know money can't buy talent.
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett.
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:03I am Dexter Hayes' fiance and creative collaborator.
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music.
00:57:11Yeah, you're right.
00:57:13In that case.
00:57:15You should have this.
00:57:23No!
00:57:27Oh my God!
00:57:34Oops.
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands.
00:57:37My bad.
00:57:39Are you insane?
00:57:41You just destroyed a million dollar guitar!
00:57:45Security!
00:57:45Take this woman away!
00:57:47Hold on just one second.
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my God.
00:57:53Uh, I need to speak to the owner about an offer.
00:57:55You think you set up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course, Mr. Hayes.
00:58:04It's all yours now.
00:58:13Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician.
00:58:17We'll find a better option.
00:58:25Like this one.
00:58:27Beyonce used this on her last album.
00:58:29This instrument is worthy of Echo, the genius producer.
00:58:34Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:58:37Actually, actually, this guitar is no longer available.
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection is on hold for the new owner.
00:58:45I'm gonna just, my apologies, my apologies.
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:58:52We saw it first.
00:58:54Look, look, we just want the one guitar.
00:58:56I'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.
00:59:08How dare you, you little bitch.
00:59:17That's enough.
00:59:20Hi, Dexy.
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce.
00:59:30You need to do something.
00:59:31Ma, do 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 is 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 what?
00:59:49Actually, I'm sorry, you're right.
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person who's always been there for me.
00:59:57Please ring up the guitar for Miss 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 how much it costs,
01:00:08and I'll pay it whatever it is right here and now.
01:00:11Miss Reed, as the new owner of the store,
01:00:14how much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:21I'm sorry, I'm the new owner?
01:00:25Consider a late birthday gift for my former assistant.
01:00:29You did this for me.
01:00:31You really think I need a music store?
01:00:34Well, as CEO of Reed Records, you probably don't know.
01:00:37But I'm someone who cares about you a lot, why the hell not?
01:00:42Dexter, are you insane?
01:00:45She's not even a real musician, and you gave her the entire store?
01:00:50You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:54Oh, it's okay.
01:00:56Scarlet could have it for free.
01:00:57As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on.
01:01:01Ah!
01:01:04Casey, I 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. Casey has done nothing but ruin you.
01:01:18She's just a pretty face with no talent to back it up.
01:01:22Thanks, Mom.
01:01:28One, I'm not your assistant anymore.
01:01:31It's Miss Reed, and I'm the CEO of Reed Records.
01:01:35Two, my birthday was months ago.
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet, so your gift means nothing.
01:01:45Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What secret?
01:01:52Secret?
01:01:53What are you talking about?
01:01:54What secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:00No.
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you.
01:02:08But not anymore.
01:02:11I don't need you.
01:02:22Don't pay attention to anything she just said.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection.
01:02:28Yes, sir.
01:02:31Oh, one more thing.
01:02:33She's fired.
01:02:36Yes, sir.
01:02:40Dexter, you can't do this.
01:02:42I love you.
01:02:55Mr. Hayes, Miss Hart.
01:02:57You're on in five.
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live.
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:03Millions of fans are going to be hearing your song.
01:03:06It's exactly what you deserve.
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent.
01:03:11I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage.
01:03:16All right, guys.
01:03:17It's time.
01:03:18Let's go.
01:03:18No.
01:03:19Scarlet!
01:03:33You can't start the show without me.
01:03:39I knew you'd make it.
01:03:40Of course she did.
01:03:42Her 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 when
01:03:54you yourself have none.
01:03:57I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:01Oh, I guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:05Wake a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:07Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:10Don't choke.
01:04:13Hope you don't choke.
01:04:35The playback's down.
01:04:37The track's gone completely white.
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:45I didn't even make that version.
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to her reject tracks.
01:04:50Go fix this.
01:04:51Now.
01:04:54This is bad.
01:04:56All right, everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:04:58We're gonna ruin the broadcast and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:03I have an idea.
01:05:06You're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true.
01:05:20I'm Echo, the award-winning producer and 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, this is your chance to show off your talents.
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching.
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do.
01:05:44This bitch is trying to sabotage me.
01:05:46I must have another file I can play.
01:05:48I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time.
01:05:52Of course.
01:05:53Watch me work my magic.
01:06:13And that's how it's done.
01:06:15Show must go on.
01:06:17Nice try.
01:06:18Scarlett's proven herself enough.
01:06:20You can stop with the gel switch hunt now.
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:26And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:31Yeah.
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way.
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping them.
01:06:45Don't listen to her.
01:06:46She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber.
01:06:49And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted.
01:06:53If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage her.
01:06:57Scarlett, Scarlett.
01:06:58Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real.
01:07:00Okay, you're Echo.
01:07:02Echo.
01:07:02Okay, so just fix the track.
01:07:06Yeah.
01:07:07Come on, Echo.
01:07:08What?
01:07:09You have performance anxiety?
01:07:18Scarlett, you are our only hope now.
01:07:21You have to fix this.
01:07:23I could if I had something other than this shoddy breed 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 actually would gladly, but it's actually your big night.
01:07:36So why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:07:40Go!
01:07:41Echo!
01:07:42Echo!
01:07:43Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:45Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:46Echo!
01:07:47Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:49Record some mini instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:07:52It's that simple.
01:07:52You know how to do this.
01:07:54You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:02Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:04I can't let her expose me.
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:33It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:08:57Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:01Come on Echo, show them your talent.
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 that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:20Yeah, I am.
01:09:22That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:31Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:37And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:09:42Read Records.
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes.
01:09:48Your entire life's work is on the line.
01:09:51Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song.
01:09:55Now it's over.
01:09:57It's over.
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:16No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other, everybody, hey!
01:10:20It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:30What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:32Mom, Mom, stop.
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:37I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:10:42If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:10:46For 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?
01:10:55Happily.
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.
01:11:08Since we're live, let's make something new.
01:11:11Dexter, you're singing the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:15Right now.
01:11:16Right now.
01:11:18I know.
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:31This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:34Lights are low, but I still will.
01:11:39This morning's got a sting.
01:11:43Good.
01:11:44Good.
01:11:46Now let's make a hit.
01:11:55Let's fucking go.
01:12:12Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:15I mean, you produced this right, so do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:19I-I-I can't.
01:12:20I don't have butt.
01:12:21You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:25I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:31Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:34That sound, it's familiar.
01:12:36I mean, you're not the kind for a show.
01:12:41This is not a one-time thing.
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:45Stop it!
01:12:57Casey.
01:13:00You're Echo.
01:13:01Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:05This is my song.
01:13:07She just ripped it off.
01:13:08Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:10Don't listen to her.
01:13:13I'm Echo.
01:13:17I 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.
01:13:32She's the one that saved the song.
01:13:34No, that was me.
01:13:35I already did all the work.
01:13:37She's just taking the credit.
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter, so that makes it my intellectual property.
01:13:44You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're going to 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.
01:13:58200 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.
01:14:11And one last thing.
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes.
01:14:18That's ridiculous.
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:21I mean, you don't have to.
01:14:22I could just go ahead and leave, and then Scarlett could finish the album.
01:14:25And Dexter's career could crash and burn, so 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.
01:14:59Scarlett?
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo!
01:15:02I pretended, and 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.
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it.
01:15:30Tell the world the truth.
01:15:31Scarlett?
01:15:32Fine!
01:15:33I'm not Echo!
01:15:34I pretended, and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs!
01:15:38They are happy!
01:15:41They are happy!
01:15:45Wait, that's not what I really meant!
01:15:48Dexter!
01:15:49She manipulated me!
01:15:51You're still my fiancé!
01:15:52Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see!
01:15:55You're fucking fraud, and you're a damn liar!
01:15:59Casey is 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.
01:16:32Oh my god!
01:16:35Please don't cancel the album!
01:16:37The album is terminating your contract, and blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:42Career is over.
01:16:48You got yourself a deal case.
01:17:03If we're not here for long, tell me where would we belong?
01:17:14My back is passed against the wall
01:17:20I 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 for my chains
01:17:37Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:43Who am I to look like?
01:17:47This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:52But you're not open can blind
01:18:25I'm out for a fire in my veins
01:18:27You're my eyes
01:18:28You're my eyes
01:18:29You're my eyes
01:18:30I'm not afraid to fall
01:18:31You're my eyes
01:18:32You're my eyes
01:18:40I'm not afraid to fall
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 going to be mine!
01:19:18I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:29But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34Hey, that won't happen again.
01:19:35Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:38No!
01:19:49Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:01You still love 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,
01:20:12but have you stopped and asked yourself
01:20:14why 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.
01:20:22Casey,
01:20:24Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:28But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together,
01:20:35they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:39Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean,
01:20:42a love like that burns bright,
01:20:43but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:47Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:51Hmm?
01:20:51Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:53The other Reed Records executives
01:20:55want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:58and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:07Dexter is sleeping,
01:21:09but you can see him now.
01:21:15Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:18Princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:38He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:40If Dex couldn't sing anymore,
01:21:42his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully.
01:21:46He'll recover.
01:21:46But for now,
01:21:48all you need is rest.
01:21:50That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:52Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this,
01:22:08I 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...
01:22:36Casey, I...
01:22:40I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:43But everything we've put each other through,
01:22:46can 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.
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.
01:23:36That 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.
01:23:54And 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.
01:24:10I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:13Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:22My pop star.
01:24:27Which reminds me...
01:24:31Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline The Wildlight List.
01:24:38The Wildlight Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:44You deserve it.
01:24:45You're the reason I sing.
01:24:47You're the reason I live.
01:24:49I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:52You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:57I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:59I 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.
01:25:07Or any of that stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:10I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:17You do it together.
01:25:22I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:50It's the biggest cry I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:54Then you better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:14But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:22I love you too.
01:26:52Imagine what way together.
01:26:56Imagine what way together.
01:27:06This goes on.
01:27:11Stuff in the stockings.
01:27:13But I am still walking.
01:27:20I was the fool who I hated, now I'm recreating
01:27:25Every time I look at the moon fall
01:27:30I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me
01:27:43Cause the best so far was just a little
01:27:53Every time I look in your eyes I forget where I am just a little
01:28:01Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:07I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:11Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:18Ticking and talking, but I will be walking
01:28:22Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:26The mirror in heaven, my heart is still beating
01:28:31Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36I imagine the world
01:28:38We're together
01:28:44I don't know
01:28:45I don't know
01:28:45I don't know
01:28:45I don't know
01:28:45I don't know
01:28:45I don't know
01:28:45I don't know
01:28:46I don't know
01:28:46I don't know
01:28:46I don't know
01:28:50I don't know
01:28:50I'm not
