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.
00:00:29I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the rock star I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:40I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:44We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:49Will you spit in my mouth?
00:01:01Dex, we're backstage, someone might see us.
00:01:07I am so done hiding you.
00:01:10I have no idea what you do to me, Kex, how you make me feel.
00:01:13You are my favorite song.
00:01:21I lose control.
00:01:24My little moon.
00:01:28I want you, Dex.
00:01:30I need you.
00:01:34Good.
00:01:37And because you're already mine, I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:43I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you, and I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:48I'm gonna claim every inch of you, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Hey, Kex, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing, it's just work stuff.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:22It's time I come clean too.
00:02:25Once he finishes this concert, the echo mask will come off.
00:02:28And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:31His echo, and his Casey.
00:02:36You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:54I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:08If I don't see your Grace now pulling in his face.
00:03:11To make the fun the same way.
00:03:14If I don't wanna be my age, the ์ด's not my thing.
00:03:16I need champagne in Spain
00:03:21What?!
00:03:23Whoa!
00:03:26And now, for the star of our show.
00:03:29The world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:38Wait for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts,
00:03:46but I'll never lock him down as long as he's in bed with his grumpy assistant.
00:03:51A 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.
00:04:06She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:14I've got a really special one for you all tonight.
00:04:17Hope you enjoy.
00:04:27Shit! The backing mix is corrupted!
00:04:30I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:33Echo can fix this.
00:04:37Are you here?
00:04:38I need your help.
00:04:41What the hell is she up to?
00:04:46Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so...
00:04:51I'll be right back.
00:04:56There. Your gear from the studio.
00:04:59Or should I say Echo's gear?
00:05:01Dad, we've talked about this.
00:05:03In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:06But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:09You made him the star he is.
00:05:13I'm telling him tonight.
00:05:14But for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:18Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:22When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:44Oh, my God.
00:05:46These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:48Is Casey... Echo?
00:06:00Time to save Dex's concert.
00:06:02Play that song!
00:06:03Play that song!
00:06:05God, where's Casey?
00:06:06She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:07The show is a disaster.
00:06:09The fans are waiting.
00:06:10Can you please find her?
00:06:11I need her.
00:06:12No, Dexter.
00:06:14I'm the one you need.
00:06:15What?
00:06:24This is Echo's novel.
00:06:28Are you her?
00:06:30Are you her?
00:06:35Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:38I already did.
00:06:42Wait.
00:06:44Dexter, there's...
00:06:45One more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:49Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:57All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:07:00Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:04Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:06I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:10Thanks.
00:07:19Wait.
00:07:19Didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:22Uh, and we're back.
00:07:24Well, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:29I'll be psychosome.
00:07:39Get ready, Dex.
00:07:40The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:46I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm.
00:08:07Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you, I
00:08:13One thing to remember you might, the time I looked into your eye
00:08:19A secret feeling to get out, knowing I was running out of time
00:09:01A secret feeling to get out, knowing I was running out of time
00:09:24A secret feeling to get out, knowing I was running out of time
00:09:37He called me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:41I loved her, and she betrayed me
00:09:54Oh my god, Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:02Oh my god!
00:10:07Dexie!
00:10:08Yes!
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, but she made my career, and Casey betrayed me
00:10:29It was all a lie
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement, and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:46Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:57You promised me
00:11:02That you tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11Casey, you gave me no choice
00:11:14I gave you everything
00:11:18I loved you, do you love her?
00:11:22I owe her
00:11:23Oh
00:11:24Okay, I owe her, alright? I don't...
00:11:27You 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, so, 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? I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:19To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:23To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:37Just
00:12:38Your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This
00:12:46Is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first little 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...
00:13:10I know who you are anymore
00:13:11Dexter, 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?
00:13:32Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:36Go wait in the car
00:13:37Please
00:13:43But Casey
00:13:48Look, I know that you've been hiding things
00:13:51So please just
00:13:52Just tell me the truth
00:13:53Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:00Please
00:14:04Please
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
00:14:54Popped the question
00:14:55Up and coming singer
00:14:56Scarlet Heart tonight
00:14:57And she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dexter everything
00:15:08I made his career
00:15:10But
00:15:11He doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:13What happened, Princess?
00:15:16Scarlet Heart
00:15:17She stole him
00:15:19And now she's trying to steal my identity
00:15:21I'll come get you
00:15:23I
00:15:24I
00:15:24I
00:15:27Casey
00:15:27Casey, where are you?
00:15:38It looks 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 friends too
00:15:53We've always shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Heart
00:15:57We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson
00:16:01We saw you kissing Dexter backstage
00:16:05You're trying to steal him from his soulmate
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him
00:16:11I 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
00:16:21Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:28Where the hell is everybody?
00:16:32Dressing room
00:16:33Come alone
00:16:34Choose to save Scarlet Heart
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 a 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 fiancรฉe?
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
00:17:27No 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
00:17:36First 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

00:18:13And then they tied me up
00:18:14And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:17Okay guys
00:18:18Let's
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down
00:18:21Okay?

00:18:57Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart
00:19:01Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They 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
00:19:13Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me did you?
00:19:22And you loved him?
00:19:25You leeched off him
00:19:26For half a decade
00:19:27If that's what you really think Dex

00:19:31Make your choice

00:21:44We're gonna go
00:21:45Okay, what are you gonna do
00:21:46Without all this
00:21:47You should be asking yourself
00:21:49That same question
00:21:50Good luck staying at the top
00:21:52Of the charts
00:21:53Once I'm gone
00:21:53You're delusional

00:21:57Echo
00:21:57Yeah
00:21:59Sure he does
00:22:00Fame really has changed you
00:22:03Dexter Hayes
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been
00:22:13Sneaking around behind my back
00:22:15This whole time
00:22:17I never betrayed you
00:22:19How you betrayed me
00:22:20By putting that ring
00:22:21On Scarlet's finger
00:22:22You chose her
00:22:24And you left me for dead
00:22:26No, Casey
00:22:27You don't understand
00:22:28I was trying to
00:22:53Oh my god
00:22:55That's Ed Reed
00:22:55The CEO of Reed Records
00:22:59So sorry
00:23:00It didn't come sooner
00:23:01Baby girl
00:23:04You're here now
00:23:06Take me home
00:23:23I was trying to
00:23:24I was trying to
00:23:29Get to head
00:23:30Let me walk
00:23:36Casey
00:23:37I have to kill
00:23:38I have to kill
00:23:39I have to kill
00:23:39I have to kill me
00:23:41Casey
00:23:41Casey
00:23:43Let me explain
00:23:48Scarlet
00:23:49Mrs. Hayes
00:23:50You should have seen it
00:23:51I almost died
00:23:52And that desperate skank
00:23:55Cheated on Dexter
00:23:56With some sugar daddy
00:23:57I always knew
00:23:58She was a gold digger
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first
00:24:02Then when that failed
00:24:04She went after the CEO
00:24:05Of the biggest music label
00:24:07In the world
00:24:08Dexter
00:24:09She never cared about you
00:24:10She's been lying to you
00:24:12This entire time
00:24:13All she ever cared about
00:24:14Was money
00:24:14And power
00:24:15I thought Casey loved me
00:24:17But the whole time
00:24:19She was in bed
00:24:20With the CEO
00:24:21Of Reed Records
00:24:27Forget him princess
00:24:28Hmm
00:24:29You are much too talented
00:24:31To be running
00:24:32Some rockstar's errands
00:24:33How could I be so blind
00:24:38Three days from now
00:24:40At the annual
00:24:41Music Hall of Fame gala
00:24:42Announcing you
00:24:43As the new CEO
00:24:45Of Reed Records
00:24:46And my daughter
00:24:47The heiress to my empire
00:24:50It's time to show the world
00:24:51Who you really are
00:25:01My back is pressed
00:25:09My back is pressed
00:25:17Not mine
00:25:18Okay
00:25:19Guys
00:25:20Cut the track
00:25:24The damn thing
00:25:25Is in the wrong key
00:25:27Look guys
00:25:28We have
00:25:28One week
00:25:29Alright
00:25:30To finish this song
00:25:31Before the release
00:25:32The echo that I know
00:25:34Can put together
00:25:34A perfect studio mix
00:25:36In hours
00:25:37You can't even fix
00:25:38A simple beat
00:25:39Or a key
00:25:40What's going on
00:25:42Look 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
00:25:54Dexy
00:25:57Of course
00:25:58I am
00:25:59It's just
00:26:00Your new assistant
00:26:02He's been messing
00:26:03He's messing
00:26:04With my tracks
00:26:05He's obviously
00:26:06Trying 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
00:26:15How to
00:26:15Okay
00:26:15You know what
00:26:16Echo would never
00:26:17Put 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 dead
00:26:23And I'm sorry
00:26:25But my last assistant
00:26:27Would have never
00:26:28Screamed me over
00:26:28Like that
00:26:29You're fired
00:26:37See it again
00:26:53Good luck
00:26:54Staying at the top
00:26:54Of the charts
00:26:55Once I'm gone
00:26:56Writing love songs
00:26:57Used 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
00:27:24Can't I do the same
00:27:42Look what we just got
00:27:43An invitation
00:27:45To the biggest
00:27:46Industry event
00:27:46Of the year
00:27:47The Reed Records
00:27:49Music Hall of Fame
00:27:50Gala
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
00:28:04A track in hours
00:28:04We have to go
00:28:06This is a personal
00:28:07Invitation
00:28:07From Mr. Ed Reed
00:28:09Himself
00:28:11Okay
00:28:11Look
00:28:14I know what you're thinking
00:28:15But Casey probably
00:28:16Meant nothing to him
00:28:17He's a billionaire
00:28:18Record executive
00:28:19I'm sure he has a whole
00:28:21Roster of 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
00:28:46About her anyway
00:28:47Her
00:28:48Course
00:28:49Tangled hair
00:28:51Or
00:28:51Her
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
00:29:02I'm the Reed
00:29:04Heiress
00:29:05And I'm taking back
00:29:06Everything that's mine
00:29:17How 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 merchant
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter
00:29:44I 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
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:35Hey 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
00:31:08So 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
00:31:45Hunting for your next sugar daddy
00:31:47But this party is for the elite
00:31:49Of the music industry only
00:31:50I suggest you wait on the street corner
00:31:52With the other hookers
00:31:53But 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 too?
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
00:32:15I'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 desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:58Hmm
00:32:58They got that right
00:32:59Hmm
00:33:01Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet
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 just 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 in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:31But me
00:33:32I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me
00:33:37Or my career ever again
00:33:39I will get you canceled so fucking hard
00:33:41Your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:46Mr. Reed
00:33:47Hi, Dexter Hayes
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:51You've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that
00:33:57Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:34:00Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can
00:34:03Got you
00:34:05Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:07When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:11Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune
00:34:14Well, you know, sir
00:34:16Well, you may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are working on
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:25And your musical genius over the last many decades
00:34:28I think we could really make something special
00:34:31Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:34And, you know, if it's not too much
00:34:35It actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:42Well, that would make me forever grateful
00:34:45Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:47The new CEO is already here
00:35:01Casey
00:35:03Casey
00:35:03Casey
00:35:04Casey
00:35:05Casey
00:35:06Casey
00:35:08I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:12And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:15I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:19For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:21But after what he did to me
00:35:23I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:29What? You missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only
00:35:39Yeah
00:35:40Dang, I guess I left my invite at home
00:35:43But I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though
00:35:47Has been throwing around nothing
00:35:48But vile slander
00:35:51And empty accusations all night
00:35:53If anyone needs to go, it should be her
00:35:55Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter
00:35:58Right here, right now
00:36:00Yeah, right
00:36:01The only ones who 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 this new CEO
00:36:11Are about to announce our new album
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Oh, Dex
00:36:18You forgot to say please
00:36:23Wait, Casey
00:36:24What?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen
00:36:31It's time to announce tonight's special guest
00:36:38Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world
00:36:43But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company
00:36:49Someone who grew up listening to me play piano
00:36:51Who has written hundreds of songs
00:36:53And never put her name on one of them
00:36:56Because she never wanted to gain fame
00:36:59Through mine
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:37:07Mr. Reed is looking right at us
00:37:10He's going to call us on stage
00:37:11All right, this is it
00:37:13He's going to announce that he's signed us to Reed Records
00:37:15I want to introduce
00:37:17The heir to my billion dollar music empire
00:37:21And the new CEO of Reed Records
00:37:24My princess
00:37:27And the light of my life
00:37:28My daughter
00:37:30Casey Reed
00:37:35What?
00:37:37What?
00:37:40No
00:37:42No
00:37:48Casey
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby
00:38:10She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty
00:38:13Scarlet Heart is delusional
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face
00:38:19She just committed career suicide
00:38:21Mr. Reed, your gift
00:38:23For the lady of the hour
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold
00:38:29Dad, this is too much
00:38:31Well, something from the old man
00:38:33And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold
00:38:36This cannot be happening
00:38:38She's a nobody
00:38:42I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me
00:38:44But I didn't know she was hiding who she was
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy
00:38:49He was her father
00:38:50This whole time she was with me for love
00:38:53Not fame
00:38:54She tried to tell me the 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
00:39:10Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title
00:39:14Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I, I, look, I just
00:39:30I just
00:39:31I still miss you
00:39:42Shouldn't you be licking your fiance's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most
00:39:49Powerful music company
00:39:50Has got to hurt
00:39:51But I mean
00:39:52You of all people should know
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Why you want me back?
00:40:00After finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:03Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look
00:40:09That, that's, that's not why I'm here
00:40:10If you just let me tell you
00:40:11I, I
00:40:13I mean, come on, Casey
00:40:14I mean, you gotta understand
00:40:15I
00:40:16You're the one who 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, I
00:40:31Just tell me one thing
00:40:32I guess
00:40:33Why, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just
00:40:34Is this just some
00:40:35Royal way to get revenge?
00:40:37Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, tank your career
00:40:43I made his career?
00:40:46I 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
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad
00:41:07Threw me to 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 my first decision
00:41:18As the new CEO
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun
00:41:28Reed Records
00:41:29Will be ending its contract
00:41:31With Dexter Hayes
00:41:33And dropping him as an artist
00:41:39Effective immediately
00:41:41Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
00:41:43You 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 ever 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, none 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, Dexter
00:42:04She may be rich
00:42:06But she's just an arrogant
00:42:07Nepo baby
00:42:08With no real talent
00:42:09Scarlet is Echo
00:42:11She can produce
00:42:12His songs
00:42:13She can get you
00:42:14To the top of the charts
00:42:15With 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, mom
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
00:42:50You've known you for years
00:42:55I thought you'd stay the same
00:42:59All of those years
00:43:03You've known you for years
00:43:04I'm still missing you
00:43:21And I'm still
00:43:24And I'm still
00:43:26And I'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, Dex
00:44:18Fine
00:44:20Let's not talk
00:44:29What's wrong?
00:44:31Your fiancรฉ not keeping you satisfied
00:44:35I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:44Not anymore
00:44:46I'm your former boss now
00:44:47In fact
00:44:48Here
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 to
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 rec labels have to say
00:45:31If you tell me
00:45:32That you want to be with me
00:45:35We'll be together
00:45:41We can tease each other over
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46You
00:45:47Still
00:45:48Love 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
00:46:18Why would I trust you ever again
00:46:21Listen to me
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:26Hello
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:29Thank you
00:46:30Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:31Hold on
00:46:32Sasha Silver?
00:46:33I've been telling you for months
00:46:34The guy's a douchebag
00:46:37A douchebag with over a hundred million strings
00:46:40I mean
00:46:41We have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:42Size hole to fill
00:46:43And he could be the next big thing
00:46:44It's not safe
00:46:45Casey
00:46:45You don't need him
00:46:47He'll hurt you
00:46:48No, no, no, no, no
00:46:49I don't think you
00:46:50Of all people
00:46:51Get to tell me
00:46:52What I need
00:46:53Casey
00:46:54Casey
00:46:55Casey
00:46:58Daisy 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
00:47:37A potential partnership
00:47:38Well
00:47:39I heard you'd 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
00:48:24But you know what I
00:48:27Actually
00:48:28Love even more than that
00:48:31What's that?
00:48:33Exposing
00:48:33Asshole pervs
00:48:36My hair
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:41Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:44Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:47Not so fast
00:48:48You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:50And demand a live performance
00:48:51From thee
00:48:52Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look
00:48:54Like 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 won't need a label to sign me
00:49:08Not when I get read records
00:49:09For myself
00:49:13Don't be shy Casey
00:49:14I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:15A paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:17To see my new mistress
00:49:18They'll plaster our photos
00:49:19All over the tabloids
00:49:21Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:23How you slept your way to the top
00:49:26Your poor father
00:49:27He's going to have no choice
00:49:29But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:32You're delusional
00:49:34Stay away from me
00:49:35You're fine
00:49:36You don't tell Sasha
00:49:37Hey
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off
00:49:42I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:44Extra heads
00:49:45Are you okay?
00:49:48I'm fine
00:49:53What the fuck, Hayes?
00:49:55I could sue you for that
00:49:57I'd love to see you try, sweetheart
00:49:58You're just a wash-up addict
00:50:00And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:50:02Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry
00:50:09Jesus
00:50:10We 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?
00:50:19Her name
00:50:20Is Casey Ring
00:50:22And she's the future
00:50:23Of the industry
00:50:24That you want so badly
00:50:26Fucking in
00:50:28Your career is dead
00:50:29Sasha
00:50:30I'm not sure of that
00:50:33Let's go
00:50:40Let'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?
00:51:15So stop
00:51:18Following me
00:51:23The car is still fucking moving
00:51:26I'll stop following you
00:51:27The minute that you
00:51:28Stop making stupid
00:51:30Fucking decisions
00:51:32And when I've made up for all the danger
00:51:34I put her in
00:51:38You're way
00:51:40Too interested
00:51:41In my personal life, Dex
00:51:44Won't your fiancรฉ be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:53I did not
00:51:54Want
00:51:55To marry
00:51:56Scarlet
00:51:58You don't fucking listen
00:51:59And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:13So
00:52:15What am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she doesn't exist
00:52:19And be the pop star's secret side piece again
00:52:26I should push him away
00:52:28But I can't deny how much I miss his touch
00:52:30You were never the side piece
00:52:34And you know it
00:52:45Boss
00:52:46I have news
00:52:48Thank you for your help today
00:52:50Dexter
00:52:53Please
00:52:53Stop following me
00:52:58Or else it's gonna get harder
00:53:00And harder
00:53:00To walk away
00:53:10Great timing
00:53:12As always
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15Done what you asked
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:53:18And drug abuse
00:53:18Have been leaked to the press
00:53:20No label, studio, brand
00:53:21Will go anywhere near
00:53:22His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:24Good
00:53:26Buy all the rice
00:53:26To his music
00:53:29I'm gonna give that
00:53:30Casey as a gift
00:53:36I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:38Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:40Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:42But that could have gotten real ugly
00:53:44If 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
00:53:51Dirty laundry had out for everyone to see
00:53:53He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:55Cancelled
00:53:55Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes
00:54:04He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:54:06He can't sing anything anywhere
00:54:09Or get sued to hell and back
00:54:11Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:14For me?
00:54:15Maybe
00:54:16He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:18Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:25The world-famous music producer Echo
00:54:28Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:30At 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
00:54:38Before it can expose her lies
00:54:39She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:41Sooner or later Dexter will realize
00:54:43She can't even hold a tune
00:54:45Much less produce a hit track
00:54:47Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:50She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:52Let 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
00:55:01The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:55:09You wanna 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 as Echo
00:55:36Oh you're gonna do it right
00:55:39With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see my princess for the queen that she is
00:55:51You're the best dad
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes
00:56:07It's so good to see you again
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged
00:56:13Yes
00:56:15My future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:19And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:23So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:26She's a musical genius
00:56:28We need something one of a kind just like her
00:56:31Of course
00:56:31I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:34A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:42Please don't touch that
00:56:44Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:47Ugh
00:56:48It's you
00:56:49Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:54Excuse me?
00:56:55You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:58I have to ask you to leave
00:57:00Now
00:57:05I'm the CEO
00:57:06Of 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 Scarlet
00:57:19Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes' fiancee
00:57:24And 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
00:57:33You should have this
00:57:52Oops
00:57:52Slipped out of my hands
00:57:55My bad
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:58:02Security
00:58:03Take this woman away
00:58:05Hold on just one second
00:58:07Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh my god
00:58:11I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:13You think you set that up for me?
00:58:15Yes
00:58:15Of course Mr. Hayes
00:58:16Okay
00:58:21It's all yours now
00:58:32Scarlet
00:58:33Ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:36We'll find a better option
00:58:43Like this one
00:58:45Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:47This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:50The genius producer
00:58:52Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:54Actually, 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
00:59:04I'm gonna just
00:59:07My apologies
00:59:08My apologies
00:59:08Apologies
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no
00:59:10We saw it first
00:59:12Look, look
00:59:13We just want the one guitar
00:59:14I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:59:17You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:19But it's not gonna stop Scarlet
00:59:21From choking on the stage
00:59:27How dare you
00:59:28You little bitch
00:59:35That's enough
00:59:39Hi, Dexie
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter
00:59:44She just insulted your
00:59:47Beyonce
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 of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlet's talent
00:59:57As a producer
00:59:58Dexter is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
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
01:00:10Show respect to
01:00:12The one person who'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
01:00:19Mr. Hayes
01:00:21It's not for sale
01:00:22You know, why don't you ask the 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 to 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
01:00:49You really think I need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:54You probably don't know
01:00:55But I'm someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:58Why the hell not?
01:01:00Dexter!
01:01:01Are you insane?
01:01:03She's not even a real musician
01:01:06And you gave her the entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay
01:01:14Scarlet could have it for free
01:01:15As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:21Casey
01:01:22I am not stooping to your level
01:01:24And besides, we're late for hair and makeup
01:01:27I will talk to you about this later
01:01:31You will regret this
01:01:33Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:36She's just a pretty face
01:01:38With no talent to back it up
01:01:40Thanks, Mom
01:01:45Bye
01:01:46One
01:01:47I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:50It's Miss Reed
01:01:51And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:53Two
01:01:54My birthday was months ago
01:01:56Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:59So your gift means nothing
01:02:03Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:10Secret?
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 every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:26But not anymore
01:02:29I don't need you
01:02:41Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:42I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments to her collection
01:02:46Yes, sir
01:02:49Oh, one more thing
01:02:52She's fired
01:02:54Yes, sir
01:02:56Thank you
01:02:59Dexter, 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 are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:25It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:26The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:30I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:35All right, guys, it's time, let's go
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me
01:03:58I knew you'd make it
01:03:59Of course she did
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:04:04Dexter, Scarlet
01:04:05You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:04:08I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:04:14none
01:04:15Mmm
01:04:15I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:19Oh, guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:23Break a leg, Scarlet
01:04:25Or should I say, Echo
01:04:29Don't choke
01:04:31Hope you don't choke
01:04:55The playback's down
01:04:56The track's gone, completely white
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version
01:05:06I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:05:10Go fix this
01:05:11Now
01:05:14This is bad, all 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?
01:05:23I 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 and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:47Then prove it
01:05:49Go ahead
01:05:50Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:53Come on
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean
01:05:57This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:59I mean, the whole world is watching
01:06:02I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:06:04This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:06:07I must have another file I can play
01:06:09I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:06:12Of course
01:06:14Watch 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
01:06:46And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah
01:06:58Damn, 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 her
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet
01:07:19Why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real, okay?
01:07:21You're Echo
01:07:22Okay, so just fix the track
01:07:26Yeah
01:07:27Come on, Echo
01:07:29What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:32You have performance anxiety?
01:07:39Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:42You have to fix this
01:07:43I could
01:07:44If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:47Breed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:52Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:55But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:57Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:59And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:08:01Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
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 fiancรฉ is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:25I can't let her expose me
01:08:26Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:52Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:18Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:25Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:31Alright, look
01:09:34It's done
01:09:36You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:39You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:41Yeah, I am
01:09:42That whole career that I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:46Yeah
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:55That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:58And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:10:01As 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, you heard the track, okay?
01:10:15There's no saving this song
01:10:16Mom, now it's over, it's over
01:10:33Well, I 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, it'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 her, Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing
01:11:10And if you don't, will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily
01:11:20Everyone, 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
01:11:36Right 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 morning'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?
01:12:40I can't, I don't have much
01:12:42You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Then when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sound, it's familiar
01:12:58I mean, you are not the kind for a show
01:13:28This is my song, she just ripped it off
01:13:29Who's stealing now, Scarlett?
01:13:32Don't listen to her
01:13:35I'm Echo
01:13:38I didn't even make that version
01:13:40I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:43Go fix this
01:13:47Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:54She's the one that saved the song
01:13:55No, that was me
01:13:57I already did all the work, she'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 for one song?
01:14:22That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:24Are you insane?
01:14:25And I want my name to be credited
01:14:29Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:32And one last thing
01:14:33I want a public apology from Scarlett Hart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:39That's ridiculous!
01:14:40Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:43I mean, you don't have to
01:14:44I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:45And then Scarlett could finish the album
01:14:47And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:49So, what 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
01:15:20Scarlett
01:15:21Fine!
01:15:22I'm not Echo
01:15:23I 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
01:15:42Scarlett, you are exactly what we all see you
01:15:44You're fucking fraud
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 who 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 is 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
01:16:37You got yourself a DL case
01:16:48Hit it
01:16:53If we're not here for long
01:16:58If we're not here for long
01:16:58Tell me where would we belong
01:17:03My back is fast 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
01:17:19In my dreams
01:17:22It's burning for my chains
01:17:27Who are you to tell me why
01:17:32Who am I to look like?
01:17:36Who am I to look like?
01:17:37This mirror shows a thousand places
01:17:41But you're not open can buy
01:17:48Under
01:18:11Who are you to tell me how
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast and my work speaks for itself.
01:18:50You are a revolution in the music industry and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:18:58You arrogant fucking whore! You ruined everything!
01:19:05Dexter was gonna be mine! I was gonna be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:19But you have to get in my way. That won't happen again.
01:19:25Heisei!
01:19:27Dex, no!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my god!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey. You've been here all night. You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:00You know, if you say so, but have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to
01:20:06save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now. Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:13Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:18But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:22And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love. Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it. I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you. Hmm? Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:43The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:05Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:25It was a close call. One centimeter to the right. He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully. He'll recover.
01:21:37But for now, all he needs is rest.
01:21:41That's it, okay?
01:21:48What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:56If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:02Never.
01:22:05Bye.
01:22:12I got you, beautiful.
01:22:17Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:19I think I have every right to be.
01:22:25Casey, I...
01:22:27Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:32I miss him, too.
01:22:34But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:40You saved my life, and...
01:22:44I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um, we can go our separate ways.
01:22:54We can end on a high note.
01:22:57No!
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:03I'm not sure.
01:23:04I'm not sure.
01:23:04I'm not sure.
01:23:10I'm not sure.
01:23:11But there's something I have to show you.
01:23:13Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:27That horrible night when I chose Scarlet...
01:23:31I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:38I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:42I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:44And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:45And I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:01I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:20Reminds me...
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline The Wild Lights.
01:24:29The Wild Lights Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO.
01:24:35You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:38You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:43You...
01:24:45You're my world, Casey.
01:24:48I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:24:50I know.
01:24:52But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:24:55I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:24:59stuff.
01:25:00I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:01I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08We do it together.
01:25:14I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:17Okay.
01:25:20I want us to do this together.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:27I love you too.
01:25:36I love you too.
01:25:38I love you too.
01:25:41It's the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:46Then we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:50Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo, but more importantly, she is undoubtedly
01:26:08the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:42I hope you enjoy.
01:27:13I hope you enjoy.
01:27:29I hope you enjoy.
01:27:34I hope you enjoy.
01:27:41I hope you enjoy.
01:27:57I hope you enjoy.
01:28:12I hope you enjoy.
01:28:26I hope you enjoy.
01:28:30I hope you enjoy.
01:28:35I hope you enjoy.
01:28:40I hope you enjoy.
