Short filmTranscript
00:00:18My name is Casey Reed.
00:00:21No one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar music empire, or that I'm
00:00:26Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:30I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rockstar I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, kids, how you make me feel.
00:01:13I know you are my favorite song, and lose control, my little moon.
00:01:28I want you, Dex.
00:01:31I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm going to kiss you in front of
00:01:47everybody.
00:01:48I'm going to claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off, and I can finally be the real
00:02:30me.
00:02:31His echo, and his Casey.
00:02:36You are going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:05Get the coffee.
00:03:25And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:38Wait for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long
00:03:48as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:51A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us.
00:03:58Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart.
00:04:04Dexter Hayes' groupie turned wannabe pop queen.
00:04:07She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:14I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:17Hope you enjoy.
00:04:17Xinh!
00:04:18Xinh!
00:04:20Xinh!
00:04:20Xinh!
00:04:22Xinh!
00:04:32Xinh!
00:04:33can fix this. Are you here? I need your help. What the hell is she up to? Well, I guess
00:04:47the system
00:04:48couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be right back. There, your gear from the
00:04:58studio. Or should I say Echo's gear? Dad, we've talked about this. In public, I am not your
00:05:05daughter, and I'm not Echo. But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him. You made
00:05:10him the star he is. I'm telling him tonight, but for now, I have a tractor remix. Oh, that's
00:05:18my girl. When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my
00:05:27arms.
00:05:44Oh my god, these are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs. Is Casey Echo?
00:06:00Time to save Dex's concert. Play the song! Play the song! Where's Casey? She said she'd
00:06:06stay right here. The show is a disaster. The fans are waiting. Can you please find her? I
00:06:14I'm the one you need. What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel. Are you her? Are you her? Listen, can you please save this song? I already did.
00:06:42Wait. Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you. Casey has been hiding another
00:06:51man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls. Dodged questions. Casey was cheating on me this whole time.
00:07:04Dexter, I'm so sorry. I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:19Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:22And we're back. Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29At least I thought so.
00:07:39Get ready, Dex. The mix to your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:46...
00:08:16The time I looked into your eye
00:08:19The secret feeling I gave
00:08:21I know I was running out of time
00:09:14How could Casey do this?
00:09:16It was nice to meet you
00:09:21Everyone give it up for Dexter Hay
00:09:23He promised he'd call me up on stage
00:09:38To announce our relationship
00:09:41I loved her
00:09:42And she betrayed me
00:09:55Oh my god
00:09:56Dexie
00:09:57Oh my god
00:09:58Is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes
00:10:10Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:14I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:22But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement
00:10:36And I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:46Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:50Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:58You promised me
00:11:02That you tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:10Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:14I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you
00:11:20Do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Okay
00:11:24I owe her
00:11:26Alright, I don't
00:11:26You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:32What has she ever done for you?
00:11:34Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:39Okay, so that's why
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is
00:11:58You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:20To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:24To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:39Just your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first single platinum album
00:12:53That's my notebook
00:12:55How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:57I'm a musical genius
00:12:59And you're just
00:13:01Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:03Give it back
00:13:04Ow!
00:13:05Dexter, she cut me
00:13:07Dexter, what has gotten into you?
00:13:09I don't, I don't know who you are anymore
00:13:12Dexter, baby
00:13:14I know all about girls like her
00:13:16They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it
00:13:20She's taking advantage of you
00:13:22She has been for years
00:13:24Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this
00:13:28Scarlet is not Echo
00:13:29Then tell me why I shouldn't
00:13:31Okay, well why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car
00:13:37Please
00:13:43They're Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:50So please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:54Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:00Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:15You don't trust me anyway
00:14:21We're over
00:14:23Dex
00:14:27Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes popped the question to up-and-coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dexter everything
00:15:08I made his career, but he doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:13What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Hart
00:15:17She stole him
00:15:19And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:27Casey
00:15:27Casey, where are you?
00:15:39Looks like Dexter's whore is awake
00:15:41Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man
00:15:46Who are you?
00:15:48Let me go
00:15:49Don't worry, Scarlet
00:15:50We won't hurt you
00:15:52We're your fans, too
00:15:53We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:05We're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him
00:16:11We were in love
00:16:12Or I thought we were
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:17The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:20Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room
00:16:33Come alone
00:16:35Choose to save Scarlet Hart
00:16:37And we'll spare them
00:16:38Choose your little assistant
00:16:40And they both die
00:16:43You've reached Casey
00:16:44I can't come to the phone right now
00:16:47Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:51Casey?
00:16:52So she never left the concert
00:16:53Get back to the concert hall now
00:16:57Dexter is coming
00:16:59We'll see who his true love is
00:17:02You psychos!
00:17:04Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancée?
00:17:09Obviously not
00:17:10She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:14You fucked him, too?
00:17:17God
00:17:17Our precious Dexter
00:17:20Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:25You don't deserve to live
00:17:28No one knows what the real Echo looks like
00:17:30So if Casey dies
00:17:33Then the truth dies with her
00:17:35That's not true
00:17:37First you steal my identity
00:17:39Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:40You're psychotic
00:17:42No, don't worry, Casey
00:17:43If you die today
00:17:45Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:46And maybe it'll even be the lead single on our new album
00:17:51You're crazier than they are
00:17:52Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:59Casey
00:17:59Dexter
00:18:07Dexter
00:18:10Dexter
00:18:10Dexter
00:18:11Dexter
00:18:11Dexter, help me
00:18:12They hit me
00:18:13And then they tied me up
00:18:14And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:17Okay guys, let's
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We, we can't do that Dexter
00:18:23We're your biggest fans
00:18:26We're doing this for you
00:18:28Okay, well if you love me
00:18:30Alright, you'll put the gun down
00:18:32And then let these two go
00:18:34Please
00:18:34No, that's not how this works
00:18:36Dexie
00:18:37You would be nothing without Echo
00:18:40We're engaged now
00:18:42We're engaged now
00:18:42You can't let me die
00:18:43Dex
00:18:44All the love we ever had
00:18:46All the memories
00:18:47All the I love you's you told me
00:18:49Did they mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one
00:18:53To live
00:18:53Will it be your future wife?
00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:02They said if I don't choose Scarlet
00:19:05Then they both die
00:19:06I can save Casey
00:19:07But I
00:19:08I have to break her heart
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him for half a decade
00:19:27If that's what you really think, Dex
00:19:30Go ahead, make your choice
00:19:32Choose now or they both die
00:19:34Dexter
00:19:35Dexter, please
00:19:36Think of everything I've done for you
00:19:38You dumped her
00:19:40You chose me
00:19:41Don't let them murder me
00:19:42That's enough
00:19:44We're pulling the trigger in three
00:19:47Two
00:19:48One
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey
00:19:52Scarlet, alright?
00:19:55I choose Scarlet
00:19:59Dexter
00:20:00I'm gonna faint
00:20:02I was so scared
00:20:03He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die
00:20:09Now, wait a minute
00:20:10You told me that
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes
00:20:13Now you get to be the one
00:20:15Who saved your soulmate
00:20:17And will take care of your scandalous side piece
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no
00:20:27I guess
00:20:28This is the end
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:36Put the gun down
00:20:39Put the gun down
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter
00:20:42Hey, drop the gun
00:20:53Let's go
00:21:03Let's go
00:21:04Okay
00:21:05Okay
00:21:05You left me to die
00:21:07And for the record
00:21:09I never needed your money
00:21:11I was right to walk away
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made
00:21:17Look, Casey
00:21:18You don't understand, alright?
00:21:19They were gonna make me
00:21:20I'm done
00:21:22Living in your shadow, Dex
00:21:24Goodbye
00:21:31Casey, Casey
00:21:32Hey
00:21:40Casey
00:21:42Casey, stop
00:21:43Please, stop
00:21:43Please, please
00:21:44Where are you gonna go?
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question
00:21:50Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone
00:21:53You're delusional
00:21:55He doesn't need you
00:21:56He has Echo
00:21:57Yeah
00:21:58Sure he does
00:22:00Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay
00:22:10Then what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time
00:22:16I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand
00:22:28I was trying to
00:22:53Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records
00:22:59So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl
00:23:04You're here now
00:23:06Take me home
00:23:08Oh my god, I was trying to
00:23:24I was trying to
00:23:28I was trying to
00:23:37Casey
00:23:37You have to kill
00:23:38You have to everything
00:23:39Casey
00:23:40Casey
00:23:42Casey
00:23:43Let me explain
00:23:48Scarlet
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes
00:23:50You should have seen it
00:23:52I almost died
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first
00:24:02Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power
00:24:15I thought Casey loved me
00:24:17But the whole time she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records
00:24:27Forget him, princess
00:24:28You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:38Three days from now
00:24:40At the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:24:42Announcing you
00:24:43As the new CEO of Reed Records
00:24:46And my daughter
00:24:47The heiress to my empire
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are
00:25:01My back is pressed
00:25:09My back is pressed
00:25:13My back is pressed
00:25:16No, no
00:25:18Okay
00:25:19Guys
00:25:20Cut the track
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key
00:25:27Look guys
00:25:28We have one week
00:25:29Alright
00:25:30To finish this song before the release
00:25:32The Echo that I know
00:25:34Can put together a perfect studio mix
00:25:36In hours
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat
00:25:39Or a key
00:25:40What's going on?
00:25:43Look Scarlet
00:25:44I just gotta ask
00:25:45Are you
00:25:46Really
00:25:47Echo?
00:25:51Are you
00:25:52Really
00:25:53Echo?
00:25:54Echo?
00:25:55Dexy
00:25:57Of course I am
00:25:59It's just
00:26:01Your new assistant
00:26:02He's been messing
00:26:03He's messing with my tracks
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage
00:26:07Our new album
00:26:08I mean look
00:26:11Last saved
00:26:12By Max
00:26:13Yeah
00:26:13That's because
00:26:14You don't know how to
00:26:15Okay you know what
00:26:16Echo would never put her name
00:26:17On garbage like this
00:26:20Mr. Hayes
00:26:21Please
00:26:22Listen
00:26:22It's
00:26:23It's Dexter
00:26:24And I'm sorry
00:26:25But my last assistant
00:26:27Would have never
00:26:28Screamed me over like that
00:26:29You're fired
00:26:37See it again
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts
00:26:55Once I'm gone
00:26:56Writing love songs used to be so easy
00:26:59With Casey here
00:27:13We're sorry
00:27:14You have reached a number
00:27:15That has been disconnected
00:27:16Or is no longer in service
00:27:19Alright
00:27:19She broke my heart
00:27:21And she moved on
00:27:22So
00:27:23Why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got
00:27:43An invitation
00:27:45To the biggest industry event of the year
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala
00:27:57Look
00:27:57I'm not interested
00:27:58Okay
00:27:59We have a song to finish
00:28:00Dexter
00:28:02You said it yourself
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours
00:28:04We have to go
00:28:06This is a personal invitation
00:28:07From Mr. Ed Reed himself
00:28:11Okay
00:28:11Look
00:28:14I know what you're thinking
00:28:15But Casey probably meant nothing to him
00:28:17He's a billionaire record executive
00:28:19I'm sure he has a whole roster
00:28:21Of scorned assistants
00:28:22Lining up to get on their knees
00:28:23And work for a few extra bucks
00:28:25You have to go
00:28:26And you have to impress him
00:28:28Okay
00:28:28He could make
00:28:29Or break our careers
00:28:32Okay
00:28:32I guess you're right
00:28:33Of course I am
00:28:36We
00:28:36Are the industry's
00:28:38It couple
00:28:39So now
00:28:40Forget about that stupid
00:28:41Little assistant of yours
00:28:43And
00:28:43Start getting ready
00:28:44I mean
00:28:45What was so special about her anyway
00:28:47Her
00:28:49Coarse
00:28:50Tangled hair
00:28:52Her
00:28:53Dull
00:28:54Crusty skin
00:28:55Or
00:28:55Maybe those
00:28:57Hideous
00:28:58God awful clothes
00:29:01I'm Echo
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress
00:29:05And I'm taking back
00:29:06Everything that's mine
00:29:14How does it feel to be at the event of the year
00:29:19As the industry's new it couple
00:29:21We're honored
00:29:22And with Reed Records on our side
00:29:24Our album is sure to be the number one hit of the decade
00:29:26Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records
00:29:31I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter
00:29:35The heiress to the Reed fortune
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:44I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance
00:29:48Whoever she is we need to impress her okay
00:29:49She could be our ticket to a number one album
00:29:51Look
00:29:52Here she is now
00:30:03No fucking way
00:30:05No fucking way
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:36Hey Dex
00:30:36Long time no see
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:43I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:46So
00:30:47Why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her
00:31:06And instead focus on kissing up to Ed Reed
00:31:09So he introduces us to the new CEO
00:31:11You should listen to her Dexter
00:31:14All we need to do is get on their good side
00:31:16And our album will go straight to number one
00:31:19She's right
00:31:19I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:31:23If I want our album to be a hit
00:31:41Scarlet
00:31:41What a terrible surprise
00:31:43I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers
00:31:54But the party's just getting started
00:31:55I can't miss the big announcement
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records 2
00:32:05I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed
00:32:08So don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:10And don't distract Dexter tonight
00:32:12Leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:16I'd love to see you try
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:22I loved him
00:32:24And those feelings don't just go away
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up
00:32:32All you want
00:32:33But you will always
00:32:36Just be Dexter's lowly
00:32:38Little errant girl
00:32:39I thought she was someone important
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant
00:32:43Playing dress up
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet Heart
00:32:47I would never emotionally recover
00:32:49Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:51Probably out whoring herself to old men
00:32:54Just like all those
00:32:55Desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:58Hmm
00:32:58They got that right
00:33:00Hmm
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something
00:33:04Scarlet
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:11Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful
00:33:18The new CEO might be watching
00:33:22You think you're hot shit
00:33:23Just because you're the real Echo
00:33:25You may have the talent
00:33:26But you have no money
00:33:27And no connections
00:33:28Besides the ones you make
00:33:30In pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:31But me
00:33:32I'm a beloved
00:33:33Up-and-coming pop star
00:33:35And if you so much
00:33:36As threaten me
00:33:37Or my career
00:33:38Ever again
00:33:39I will get you
00:33:40Canceled so fucking hard
00:33:41Your grandchildren
00:33:42Won't be able to show their faces
00:33:43In public
00:33:46Mr. Reed
00:33:47Hi Dexter Hayes
00:33:49Thank you so much
00:33:50For the invite
00:33:51You've always
00:33:52Been a true hero of mine
00:33:54Well I would really love
00:33:55To put that
00:33:57Well that incident
00:33:58With my assistant
00:33:59Behind us
00:34:00Oh Dexter Hayes
00:34:02Of course I can
00:34:04Got you
00:34:05Oh I can't wait to see the look
00:34:06On his face
00:34:07When he realizes
00:34:09The assistant he rejected
00:34:10Is my daughter
00:34:12And the heiress
00:34:13To the Reed record's fortune
00:34:14Well you know sir
00:34:16Well you may or may not
00:34:17Have heard about
00:34:18The record that
00:34:19Scarlet Heart and I
00:34:20Are working on
00:34:21I really think that
00:34:22Between my lyrics
00:34:23And well her producing
00:34:25And you're a musical genius
00:34:27Over the last many decades
00:34:28I think we could really
00:34:29Make something special
00:34:31Well you make a compelling point
00:34:34And you know
00:34:34If it's not too much
00:34:35It actually might be helpful
00:34:37For the record
00:34:37Well maybe if you could
00:34:38Put in a good word
00:34:39With the new CEO
00:34:42Well that would make me
00:34:43Forever grateful
00:34:45Why don't you put in
00:34:46A good word yourself
00:34:47The new CEO
00:34:48Is already here
00:35:01Casey
00:35:03Casey
00:35:03Casey
00:35:05Casey
00:35:08I've
00:35:09I've been trying to
00:35:10Call you
00:35:11The last few days
00:35:12And
00:35:12Well I guess I'm just surprised
00:35:14That instead
00:35:14You've just showed up here
00:35:15I hated myself
00:35:17For wanting to pick up
00:35:19The phone
00:35:19For wanting to hear
00:35:21His voice again
00:35:21But after what he did to me
00:35:23I couldn't
00:35:25Give him the satisfaction
00:35:26Oh
00:35:27You've been calling me
00:35:28For the last few days
00:35:29What
00:35:30You miss me already
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey
00:35:33As his date
00:35:34This event is invite only
00:35:39Yeah
00:35:41Dang
00:35:41I guess I left my invite at home
00:35:43But
00:35:43I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:45You know Scarlet
00:35:46On the other hand though
00:35:47Has been throwing around
00:35:48Nothing
00:35:48But
00:35:49Vile slander
00:35:51And empty accusations
00:35:52All night
00:35:53If anyone needs to go
00:35:54It should be her
00:35:55Unless
00:35:56You want me
00:35:57To expose your lies
00:35:58To Dexter
00:35:58Right here
00:35:59Right now
00:35:59Yeah right
00:36:01The only ones
00:36:02Who can remove me
00:36:03Are Mr. Reed himself
00:36:04Or the new CEO
00:36:05You have no power here
00:36:07Okay guys
00:36:08Ed Reed and
00:36:10This new CEO

00:36:44I want to introduce you
00:36:46To someone
00:36:47To someone who's more precious
00:36:47To me than any company
00:36:49Someone who grew up
00:36:50Listening to me play piano
00:36:51Who has written hundreds
00:36:53Of songs
00:36:53And never put her name
00:36:55On one of them
00:36:56Because she never wanted
00:36:57To gain fame
00:36:59Through mine
00:37:01No more secrets
00:37:02Dexter Hayes
00:37:03It's time you finally
00:37:04Learned who you really
00:37:06Rejected
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking

00:37:11Alright this is it
00:37:13He's gonna announce
00:37:14That he's signed us

00:37:21And the new CEO
00:37:22Of Reed Records

00:37:35What?
00:37:40No
00:37:48Casey
00:37:50Casey
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby
00:38:10She's the daughter
00:38:11Of billionaire music royalty
00:38:13Scarlet Heart is delusional
00:38:15Insulting the new CEO
00:38:17Of Reed Records
00:38:18To her face
00:38:19She just committed
00:38:20Career suicide
00:38:21Mr. Reed
00:38:22Your gift
00:38:23For the lady of the hour
00:38:26That's millions
00:38:27Of dollars

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

01:28:33Iternally
01:28:34Yeah, yeah
