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

00:30:25Casey
00:30:29Casey
00:30:30Casey
00:30:30Casey
00:30:31Hey Dex long time no see
00:30:36Dex has already moved on with Scarlet
00:30:39I should be happy walking away from him
00:30:42So why does my heart still ache
00:31:00Ignore her
00:31:01And instead focus on kissing up to ed reed so he introduces us to the new ceo
00:31:07You should listen to her dexter
00:31:09All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one
00:31:14She's right
00:31:15I have to impress ed reed and this new ceo if I want our album to be a hit
00:31:37Scarlet what a terrible surprise
00:31:39I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy but this party is
00:31:43For the elite of the music industry only I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers
00:31:49But the party's just getting started
00:31:51I can't miss the big announcement
00:31:56Why
00:31:57So you can seduce the new ceo of read records too
00:32:00I hear he's much more selective than ed reed so don't expect him to look at you twice
00:32:06And don't distract dexter tonight leave or I will have security escort you out
00:32:11I'd love to see you try
00:32:16Jealous
00:32:17I loved him and those feelings don't just go away
00:32:21How could she change his mind so easily
00:32:25You can dress up all you want
00:32:29But you will always just be dexter's lowly little errant girl
00:32:34I thought she was someone important
00:32:36She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up
00:32:40Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart
00:32:43I would never emotionally recover
00:32:44Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:46Probably out whoring herself to old men
00:32:49Just like all of those desperate social climbers in our industry
00:32:53They got that right
00:32:55Is that so?
00:32:58Tell me something, Scarlet
00:33:00Is it really me?
00:33:02Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:06Is it you?
00:33:09How dare you?
00:33:12Careful
00:33:12The new CEO might be watching
00:33:16You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo
00:33:19You may have the talent
00:33:21But you have no money
00:33:22And no connections
00:33:23Besides the ones you make in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms
00:33:26But me
00:33:27I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star
00:33:29And if you so much as threaten me
00:33:32Or my career ever again
00:33:34I will get you cancelled so fucking hard
00:33:36Or your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public
00:33:41Mr. Reed
00:33:42Hi, Dexter Hayes
00:33:43Thank you so much for the invite
00:33:46You've always been a true hero of mine
00:33:49Well, I'd really love to put that
00:33:52Well, that incident with my assistant behind us
00:33:55Oh, Dexter Hayes
00:33:57Of course I can
00:33:58Got you
00:33:59Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face
00:34:02When he realizes the assistant he rejected is my daughter
00:34:06And the heiress to the Reed Records fortune
00:34:09Well, you know, sir
00:34:10You may or may not have heard about the record that Scarlet Heart and I are working on
00:34:16I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing
00:34:19And your musical genius over the last many decades
00:34:23I think we could really make something special
00:34:25Well, you make a compelling point
00:34:28And you know, if it's not too much
00:34:30It actually might be helpful for the record
00:34:32Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO
00:34:36Well, that would make me forever grateful
00:34:40Why don't you put in a good word yourself
00:34:42The new CEO is already here
00:34:55Casey
00:34:57Casey
00:34:58Casey
00:34:59Casey
00:35:00Casey
00:35:03I've been trying to call you the last few days
00:35:06And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here
00:35:10I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone
00:35:14For wanting to hear his voice again
00:35:16But after what he did to me
00:35:18I couldn't give him the satisfaction
00:35:20Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days
00:35:23What, you missed me already?
00:35:26Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:29This event is invite only
00:35:34Yeah
00:35:35Dang, I guess I left my invite at home
00:35:37But I think I'm gonna stay
00:35:39You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though
00:35:41Has been throwing around nothing
00:35:43But vile slander and empty accusations all night
00:35:47If anyone needs to go, it should be her
00:35:50Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now
00:35:54Yeah, right
00:35:55The only ones who can remove me
00:35:57Are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO
00:35:59You have no power here
00:36:01Okay, guys
00:36:03I've Ed Reed and this new CEO
00:36:05Are about to announce our new album
00:36:07Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:10Aw, Dex
00:36:12You forgot to say please
00:36:17Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:23Ladies and gentlemen
00:36:24It's time to announce tonight's special guest
00:36:32Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world
00:36:37But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company
00:36:43Someone who grew up listening to me play piano
00:36:45Who has written hundreds of songs
00:36:47And never put her name on one of them
00:36:50Because she never wanted to gain fame
00:36:54Through mine
00:36:55No more secrets, Dexter Hayes
00:36:57It's time you finally learned who you really rejected
00:37:02Mr. Reed is looking right at us
00:37:04He's gonna call us on stage
00:37:06All right, this is it
00:37:07He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records
00:37:10I want to introduce
00:37:12The heir to my billion dollar music empire
00:37:15And the new CEO of Reed Records
00:37:18My princess
00:37:21And the light of my life
00:37:23My daughter
00:37:24Casey Reed
00:37:30What?
00:37:34No
00:37:42Casey
00:38:00That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:02Holy shit
00:38:03She's not a sugar baby
00:38:04She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty
00:38:07Scarlet Heart is delusional
00:38:09Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:13She just committed career suicide
00:38:15Mr. Reed, your gift
00:38:17For the lady of the hour
00:38:20That's millions of dollars of gold
00:38:22Dad, this is too much
00:38:25Well, something from your old man
00:38:26And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold
00:38:30This cannot be happening
00:38:32She's a nobody
00:38:35I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me
00:38:38But I didn't know she was hiding who she was
00:38:41Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy
00:38:43He was her father
00:38:44This whole time she was with me for love
00:38:47Not fame
00:38:47She tried to tell me the truth
00:38:49And instead of trusting her
00:38:51I left her for another woman
00:38:53How could I be so blind?
00:39:00How could I be so blind?
00:39:02Suits you?
00:39:04Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title
00:39:08Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:10Casey, I, I, look, I just
00:39:18I just, uh, I still miss you
00:39:36Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:39Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company
00:39:43Has got to hurt
00:39:45But, I mean, you of all people should know
00:39:47Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:49If you just let me explain
00:39:50Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:52Why you want me back?
00:39:53After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:57Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:01No, no, look, that, that's, that's not why I'm here
00:40:03If you just let me tell you, I, I
00:40:06I mean, come on, Casey
00:40:07I mean, you gotta understand
00:40:08I, you're the one who lied to me
00:40:10I lied?
00:40:11Yeah
00:40:12And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet
00:40:14After promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:16I didn't want any of that to happen
00:40:18You have to believe me, please
00:40:20I was just trying to
00:40:22Look, I
00:40:24Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:25I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:27Are you here just
00:40:27Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:30Tank my career?
00:40:33Oh, tank your career
00:40:35I made his career
00:40:38I loved you
00:40:40Dexter
00:40:41You might have found out who my father is today
00:40:43But you still have no idea who I am
00:40:46Wait
00:40:50This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet
00:40:53Isn't it?
00:40:54Why you left me for dead
00:40:58Sucked up to my dad
00:41:01Threw me to the curb
00:41:02For the fame
00:41:04The fortune
00:41:05The fans
00:41:06No, no, please
00:41:07No, no, no
00:41:07Actually, I think
00:41:09It's time to make my first decision as the new CEO
00:41:14Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:18I hope everyone is having fun
00:41:20Reed Records
00:41:22Will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes
00:41:25And dropping him as an artist
00:41:32Effective immediately
00:41:33Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
00:41:36You know
00:41:40I am so glad
00:41:43I never told you who I really was
00:41:45Because if I didn't
00:41:46I might not have ever found out
00:41:47That you don't really love me for me
00:41:49Casey
00:41:49None of that is true, okay
00:41:51None of this
00:41:52I don't care about that
00:41:52I've always loved you
00:41:54Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter
00:41:56She may be rich
00:41:58But she's just an arrogant nepo baby
00:42:00With no real talent
00:42:02Scarlet is echo
00:42:03She can produce
00:42:04Wait, wait, Casey
00:42:05Casey
00:42:05She can get you to the top of the charts
00:42:08With or without Reed Records
00:42:09Dexter, you don't need her
00:42:11She doesn't understand you
00:42:13Like Scarlet does
00:42:14Okay, mom, mom
00:42:15Stop
00:42:16You're my mom
00:42:17Not my manager
00:42:19All right
00:42:20I'm done talking about this
00:42:42I've known you for years
00:42:45I thought you'd say
00:42:49I thought you'd say
00:42:51All of those years
00:42:56I'm broken in a blade
00:43:04In a twine
00:43:07Lost in time
00:43:09I'm still missing you
00:43:13I'm still
00:43:15And I'm still
00:43:18I'm still missing you
00:43:46I thought I was clear our relationship is over Mr. Hayes
00:43:48You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:51I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:54Casey's wrong about me
00:43:56I never gave up on us
00:43:57She's got another truth
00:44:00I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex
00:44:09Fine
00:44:11Let's not talk
00:44:20What's wrong?
00:44:23Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied
00:44:27I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:35Not anymore
00:44:37I'm your former boss now
00:44:38In fact
00:44:39Here
00:44:40Are your termination letters
00:44:46I don't give a fuck
00:44:47About the contract
00:44:48I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:50I just want you
00:44:51And I know that you want me too
00:44:54Don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:57What we had
00:44:59I've been trying to
00:45:01But being this close again
00:45:02It feels
00:45:05Impossible
00:45:06You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:08But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:16I don't care
00:45:17About the fans
00:45:18I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:20I don't care what the record labels have to say
00:45:22If you tell me
00:45:23That you want to be with me
00:45:26We'll be together
00:45:31We can tease each other all day
00:45:35Until you finally admit
00:45:37You still love me
00:46:03You're right
00:46:04I am like an instrument
00:46:06The way I let you play me
00:46:08After what you did
00:46:09Why would I trust you ever again
00:46:12Listen to me
00:46:13I've been trying to tell you
00:46:14I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:17Hello
00:46:18Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:20Thank you
00:46:21Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:22Hold on
00:46:22Sasha Silver?
00:46:23I've been telling you for months
00:46:25The guy's a douchebag
00:46:27A douchebag with over a hundred million streams
00:46:30I mean
00:46:31We have a Dexter Hayes size hold to fill
00:46:34And he could be the next big thing
00:46:35It's not safe
00:46:36Casey, you don't need him
00:46:38He'll hurt you
00:46:39No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:39I don't think you
00:46:41Of all people
00:46:42Get to tell me what I need
00:46:44Casey
00:46:45Casey, Casey
00:46:48Casey has every right
00:46:50To be angry with me
00:46:51After what I did
00:46:51I have to prove
00:46:53If she can trust me again
00:47:05Perfect timing
00:47:06Make yourself comfortable
00:47:08Thank you for meeting me
00:47:09On such short notice
00:47:10Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:11Women who speak too much
00:47:14I've been an exception for you
00:47:15Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:17In the third person
00:47:19I don't know what that means
00:47:21But
00:47:22You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:24They're a big hit online
00:47:26I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:28Well
00:47:30I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:32Actually
00:47:34I was hoping for a live performance
00:47:35If you don't mind
00:47:36So many musicians out there
00:47:37Faking their music with AI
00:47:39You know
00:47:39Of course
00:47:42But
00:47:43You're not in a hurry
00:47:44Why don't we toast first
00:47:45To this potential partnership
00:48:04Shall we?
00:48:05How can I resist?
00:48:07I do love straight vodka
00:48:14But you know what I
00:48:17Actually
00:48:19Love even more than that
00:48:21What's that?
00:48:23Exposing
00:48:25Asshole pervs
00:48:26My hair
00:48:27What the fuck?
00:48:29You really think you can drug me?
00:48:31And then what?
00:48:32Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:34Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:37Not so fast
00:48:38You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:40And demand a live performance
00:48:41From the Sasha Silver?
00:48:43Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:45Absolutely
00:48:46And a fraud
00:48:50I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:53No matter how talented you are
00:48:56I want me to label to sign me
00:48:58Not when I get read records
00:48:59Or myself
00:49:03Don't be shy Casey
00:49:04I'm just hoping you get ready
00:49:05The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:07To see my new mistress
00:49:08He'll plaster our photos
00:49:09All over the tabloids
00:49:11Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:13How you slept your way to the top
00:49:16Your poor father
00:49:18He's gonna have no choice
00:49:19But to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:22You're delusional
00:49:24Stay away from me
00:49:25I'm fine
00:49:26You don't tell Sasha
00:49:27Hey!
00:49:29Break your fucking hands off
00:49:31What?
00:49:32I'm gonna break your fucking hands
00:49:34Next door Hayes
00:49:35Are you okay?
00:49:37I'm fine
00:49:42What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:44I could sue you for that
00:49:46I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:48You're just a wash up addict
00:49:50And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:52Okay?
00:49:57Okay I'm sorry
00:49:58Jesus
00:50:00We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:50:02You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:06I mean what the fuck
00:50:09Her name is Casey Reed
00:50:12And she's the future of the industry
00:50:14That you want so badly
00:50:15Fucking in
00:50:17Your career is dead
00:50:19Sasha
00:50:19I'm not sure of that
00:50:22Let's go
00:50:30Let's go
00:50:34Give me your hand
00:50:42Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:44Sasha Silver is literally
00:50:45My business
00:50:46Is none of your concern
00:50:47If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:49What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:51Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:53He could have raped you
00:50:54Yes!
00:50:54He could have done-
00:50:54Okay!
00:50:55I know!
00:50:57Newsflash!
00:50:57I'm not your assistant
00:51:00Anymore
00:51:00So
00:51:01It's not your concern
00:51:02Where I am
00:51:03Or what I'm doing
00:51:04Okay?
00:51:05So stop
00:51:07Following me
00:51:12The car is still fucking moving
00:51:15I'll stop following you
00:51:16The minute that you
00:51:18Stop making stupid
00:51:19Fucking decisions
00:51:22And when I've made up for all the danger
00:51:23I put her in
00:51:27You're way
00:51:29Too interested
00:51:30In my personal life
00:51:32Dex
00:51:33Won't your fiance
00:51:34Be jealous?
00:51:39I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:41I did not
00:51:43Want
00:51:44To marry
00:51:45Scarlet
00:51:47You don't fight him with
00:51:48And now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:51Isn't that the point?
00:52:02So
00:52:04What am I supposed to do?
00:52:06Pretend she
00:52:07Doesn't exist
00:52:09And be
00:52:09The pop star's
00:52:11Secret side piece again
00:52:15I should push him away
00:52:17But I can't deny
00:52:18How much I miss his touch
00:52:19You were never the side piece
00:52:23And you know it
00:52:33Boss
00:52:34I have news
00:52:36Thank you for
00:52:38Your help
00:52:38Today
00:52:39Dexter
00:52:41Please
00:52:42Stop following me
00:52:46Or else
00:52:47It's gonna get harder
00:52:48And harder
00:52:49To walk away
00:52:59Great timing
00:53:01As always
00:53:02Why are you even here?
00:53:04Done what you asked
00:53:04News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:53:06And drug abuse
00:53:07Have been leaked to the press
00:53:08No label, studio, or brand
00:53:10Will go anywhere near
00:53:11His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:13Good
00:53:14Buy all the rights to his music
00:53:18I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:25I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:26Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:28Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:31But that could have gotten real ugly if he hadn't shown up
00:53:34I could have handled Sasha
00:53:35There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:37All of Sasha Silver's dirty laundry
00:53:40He had out for everyone to see
00:53:42He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:43Cancelled
00:53:44Who took him down?
00:53:47Dexter Hayes
00:53:53He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:55He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:57Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:59Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:54:02For me?
00:54:03Maybe
00:54:04He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:06Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:14The world-famous music producer, Echo
00:54:16Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:18At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:23Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:24She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:26Before it can expose her lies
00:54:28She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:30Sooner or later, Dexter will realize
00:54:32She can't even hold a tune
00:54:34Much less produce a hit track
00:54:36Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:38She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:40Let alone marry her
00:54:42If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:44I don't know how she thinks she's gonna get away with it
00:54:49I think it's time
00:54:50The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:57You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:55:00They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:55:02I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:05It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:08The world?
00:55:09Or Dexter?
00:55:13This isn't about him
00:55:17He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:19Well, my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:23But if you're gonna go as Echo
00:55:24Oh, you're gonna do it right
00:55:27With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:29Huh?
00:55:32I want people to see my princess
00:55:34For the queen that she is
00:55:39You're the best, Dad
00:55:53Mrs. Hayes
00:55:55It's so good to see you again
00:55:59How's Dexter?
00:56:00Engaged
00:56:01Yes, my future daughter-in-law
00:56:04Is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:07And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:10So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:13She's a musical genius
00:56:15We need something one-of-a-kind just like her
00:56:18Of course
00:56:19I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:21A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:30Please don't touch that
00:56:31Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:35Ugh, it's you
00:56:37Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:42Excuse me?
00:56:43You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:46I have to ask you to leave
00:56:47Now
00:56:52I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:56I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:59Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:57:01We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:05Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:06Excuse me?
00:57:08I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé
00:57:10And creative collaborator
00:57:12And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:15Yeah
00:57:16You're right
00:57:18In that case
00:57:19You should have this
00:57:31Oh my god
00:57:35Oops
00:57:40Slipped out of my hands
00:57:42My bad
00:57:43Are you insane?
00:57:47You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:50Security
00:57:51Take this woman away
00:57:53Hold on just one second
00:57:55Dexter Hayes?
00:57:56Oh my god
00:57:59I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:58:00You need to set that up for me?
00:58:02Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:58:04Just kidding
00:58:09It's all yours now
00:58:19Scarlett
00:58:20Ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:23We'll find a better option
00:58:30Like this one
00:58:32Beyonce used this on her last album
00:58:34This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:37The genius producer
00:58:39Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:41Actually, actually
00:58:43This guitar is no longer available
00:58:45In fact, my entire collection
00:58:48Is on hold for the new owner
00:58:50I'm gonna just
00:58:53My apologies, my apologies
00:58:56No, no, no, no, no
00:58:57We saw it first
00:58:59Look, look
00:59:00We just want the one guitar
00:59:01I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:59:04You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:06But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:08From choking on the stage
00:59:13How dare you
00:59:15You little bitch
00:59:22That's enough
00:59:25Hi, Dexie
00:59:29Are you okay?
00:59:31Dexter, she just insulted your Beyonce
00:59:34You need to do something
00:59:36Mom
00:59:37Do you really want to have a conversation right here and now
00:59:40About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:43Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:44Is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:48The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:53You know, actually
00:59:55I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:56I should
00:59:57Show respect to
00:59:58The one person who's always been there for me
01:00:03Please ring up the guitar
01:00:04For Miss Hunt
01:00:05I knew you would support me
01:00:06Mr. Hayes
01:00:08It's
01:00:08It's not for sale
01:00:09You know
01:00:10Why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:12How much it costs
01:00:13And I'll pay it
01:00:14Whatever it is
01:00:14Right here and now
01:00:16Miss Reed
01:00:17As the new owner of the store
01:00:19How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:22Wait, what?
01:00:26I'm sorry
01:00:27I'm the new owner?
01:00:30Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:32For my former assistant
01:00:33You did this for me
01:00:36You really think I need a music store?
01:00:39Well, as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:41You probably don't know
01:00:42But from someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:45Why the hell not?
01:00:47Dexter
01:00:48Are you insane?
01:00:50She's not even a real musician
01:00:52And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:55You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:01:00Oh, it's okay
01:01:01Scarlet could have it for free
01:01:02As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:08Casey
01:01:09I am not stooping to your level
01:01:11And besides
01:01:12We're late for hair and makeup
01:01:14I will talk to you about this later
01:01:18You will regret this
01:01:20Casey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:23She's just a pretty face
01:01:25With no talent to back it up
01:01:27Thanks, Mom
01:01:33One, I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:36It's Miss Reed
01:01:38And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:39Two
01:01:41My birthday was months ago
01:01:43Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlet
01:01:46So your gift means nothing
01:01:50Did you know I was actually going to tell you my secret that night?
01:01:53What secret?
01:01:57Secret?
01:01:58What are you talking about?
01:01:59What secret?
01:02:03Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:05No
01:02:06That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:13But not anymore
01:02:16I don't need you
01:02:27Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:29I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:31To her collection
01:02:33Yes, sir
01:02:36Oh, and one more thing
01:02:38She's fired
01:02:41Yes, sir
01:02:43Thank you
01:02:44But, Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:46I love you
01:02:55Mr. Hayes
01:03:01Miss Hart
01:03:02You're on M5
01:03:02The broadcast will begin live
01:03:04Thank you
01:03:07Did you hear that?
01:03:08Millions of fans are going to be hearing your song
01:03:11It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:12The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:16I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:21All right, guys, it's time
01:03:22Let's go
01:03:24Scarlet!
01:03:38You can't start the show without me
01:03:44I knew you'd make it
01:03:45Of course she did
01:03:46Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:50Dexter, Scarlet
01:03:51You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:54I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform
01:03:59When you yourself have none
01:04:01Mmm
01:04:02I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:06Oh
01:04:06Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:10Wake a leg, Scarlet
01:04:12Or should I say
01:04:13Echo
01:04:15Don't choke
01:04:18Hope you don't choke
01:04:40The playback's down
01:04:41The track's gone completely white
01:04:44You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:50I didn't even make that version
01:04:51I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me on to Pro Reject Tracks
01:04:55Go fix this
01:04:56Now
01:04:59This is bad
01:05:00All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:05:02We're gonna burn the broadcast
01:05:04And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:06What are we gonna do?
01:05:08I have an idea
01:05:10You're Echo, right?
01:05:22Yes, it's true
01:05:24I'm Echo
01:05:26The award-winning producer and Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:31Then prove it
01:05:33Go ahead
01:05:34Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:37Come on
01:05:38You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:40I mean
01:05:41This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:43I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:46I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:49This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:51I must have another file I can play
01:05:53I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:56Of course
01:05:58Watch me work my magic
01:06:17And that's how it's done
01:06:19Show must go on
01:06:21Nice try
01:06:22Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:24You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now
01:06:28Okay, can you boost the treble?
01:06:30On the EQ in the middle
01:06:30And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:36Yeah
01:06:42Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do it the old-fashioned way
01:06:46That means recording the instruments live, looping the-
01:06:49Don't listen to her
01:06:51She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:54And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:58If I didn't know any better
01:06:59I'd think you were trying to sabotage her
01:07:02Scarlet, Scarlet
01:07:03Why would Casey do that?
01:07:04For real?
01:07:05Okay, here
01:07:05Here, Echo
01:07:06Okay, so
01:07:08Just fix the track
01:07:10Yeah
01:07:11Come on, Echo
01:07:13What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:22Scarlet
01:07:23Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:25You have to fix this
01:07:27I could
01:07:28If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:30Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:33Casey
01:07:33If you're such a genius
01:07:34Why don't you fix it?
01:07:36Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:38But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:40Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:43And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:45Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:51Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:53Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:56It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:58You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:02I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:07Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:08I can't let her expose me
01:08:10Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend
01:08:36Is this part of her process?
01:08:38It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:09:01Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:05Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:08Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:14All right, look
01:09:17It's done
01:09:19You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:22You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:24Yeah, I am
01:09:25That whole career that I fought for forever, how many years?
01:09:29Yeah
01:09:33Because you know what?
01:09:35Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:38That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:41And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:44As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:49Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:52Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:55Mom, you heard the track, okay?
01:09:58There's no saving the song
01:09:59Now it's over, it's over
01:10:16Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:20No, no, there's no, there's, there's no other
01:10:23Hey, it's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:34What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:36Mom, mom, stop
01:10:39You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:41I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down
01:10:44As the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:46If I couldn't mix a whole live track
01:10:48What makes you think you could?
01:10:50For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:53And if you don't?
01:10:55Will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:10:59Happily
01:11:03Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records CEO dig her own grave
01:11:08It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:12Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:15Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:19Right now
01:11:20Right now
01:11:27I am not the kind for show
01:11:34This is not a one-time thing
01:11:38Lights are low, but I still glow
01:11:42This moment's got a sting
01:11:46Good
01:11:51Now let's make a hit
01:11:59Let's fucking go
01:12:16Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:19I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:21So do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:23I can't
01:12:24I don't have
01:12:25But
01:12:25You don't need anything
01:12:27Except for a band
01:12:28And raw talent
01:12:29I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:35Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:38That sounds
01:12:38It's
01:12:40Familiar
01:12:40I mean, you are not the kind for show
01:12:45This is not a one-time thing
01:12:48Stop! Stop it!
01:13:01Casey
01:13:04You're Echo
01:13:05Does this mean Casey Reed
01:13:08Is Echo?
01:13:09This is my song!
01:13:11She just ripped it off!
01:13:12Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:14Don't listen to her!
01:13:17I'm Echo
01:13:20I didn't even make that version
01:13:22I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:25Go fix this
01:13:29Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:36She's the one that saved the song
01:13:37No, that was me!
01:13:39I already did all the work
01:13:40She's just taking the credit
01:13:42I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:45So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:48You're welcome to put it on your next album
01:13:50But you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:13:52Where do I sign?
01:13:53I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:56I think you might just be surprised
01:13:59$200 million
01:14:00$200 million?
01:14:02For one song?
01:14:04That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:06Are you insane?
01:14:07And
01:14:08I want my name to be credited
01:14:11Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:14And one last thing
01:14:16I want a public apology
01:14:18From Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:21That's ridiculous!
01:14:22Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:25I mean, you don't have to
01:14:26I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:27And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:29And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:31So
01:14:32What will it be?
01:14:38The clock is ticking
01:14:42I was wrong about you
01:14:43You saved Dexter's song
01:14:47I'm sorry
01:14:50And you?
01:14:52Do it
01:14:53Apologize to her
01:14:54That bitch
01:14:55Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:58She ruined everything
01:14:59Come on, let's hear it
01:15:00Tell the world the truth
01:15:02Scarlet
01:15:03Fine
01:15:04I'm not Echo
01:15:05I pretended
01:15:06And I never wrote or produced
01:15:08Any of Dexter's songs
01:15:09They are happy
01:15:12They are happy
01:15:15Wait
01:15:16That's not what I really meant
01:15:18Dexter
01:15:20She manipulated me
01:15:22You're still my fiance
01:15:22You believe
01:15:23Scarlet
01:15:24You are exactly what we all see
01:15:26You fucking thought
01:15:27And you're a damn liar
01:15:30Casey
01:15:30Is the one
01:15:31Who built my career
01:15:32Hell, she's the one
01:15:33Who saved the damn song
01:15:35She's the only one
01:15:37Who ever cared about me
01:15:38Or loved me
01:15:41Our engagement
01:15:42Is off
01:15:43And so is the record
01:16:06Please don't cancel the album
01:16:08The album
01:16:09Terminating your contract
01:16:11And blacknessing you
01:16:12From the industry
01:16:12Career is over
01:16:19Got yourself a deal case
01:16:34If we're not here for long
01:16:40Tell me where would we belong
01:16:45My back is pressed against the wall
01:16:51I need you to know
01:16:54I'm not afraid to fall
01:16:57Your name's on fire
01:17:00In my brains
01:17:03It's burning from my chains
01:17:08Who are you to tell me why
01:17:14Who am I to look like
01:17:19This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:22But none of them can buy
01:17:28Who are you to tell me why
01:18:21Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know
01:18:23Are you the award winning
01:18:25Genius music producer Echo
01:18:27I think everyone saw the broadcast
01:18:29And my work speaks for itself
01:18:31You are a revolution
01:18:32In the music industry
01:18:33And we can't wait
01:18:34To see what you do next
01:18:35Echo
01:18:39You arrogant
01:18:40Fucking whore
01:18:42You ruined everything
01:18:46Dexter
01:18:46Was gonna be mine
01:18:48I was gonna be the biggest
01:18:50Pop star
01:18:51In the world
01:19:00But you have to get in my way
01:19:05That won't happen again
01:19:06Hey, say
01:19:08Dex
01:19:08Dex, no!
01:19:18Dex, no!
01:19:19Dex, no!
01:19:21Dex, stay with me
01:19:22Dex, stay with me
01:19:22Oh my god
01:19:27Hey, hey, hey
01:19:30You've been here all night
01:19:33You still love him, don't you?
01:19:36Dexter saved my life
01:19:37But as soon as I thank him
01:19:40We can move on
01:19:42You know, if you say so
01:19:43But have you stopped and asked yourself
01:19:45Why he risked his own life to save you?
01:19:48It doesn't matter now
01:19:50Things will never return back
01:19:51To how they were before
01:19:53Casey
01:19:55Dexter was an absolute idiot
01:19:56For betraying you
01:19:57Okay?
01:19:59Listen
01:19:59But without him
01:20:00I would have lost my baby girl
01:20:03And those two songs
01:20:04You two produced together
01:20:06They made millions
01:20:07Believe in love
01:20:08Your love
01:20:10Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it
01:20:12I mean
01:20:13A love like that burns bright
01:20:14But it doesn't last forever
01:20:19Clearly Dexter never stopped caring about you
01:20:21Hmm?
01:20:23Maybe your love story isn't over
01:20:24The other Reed Records executives
01:20:26Want Dexter to headline the big festival
01:20:29And sign him to the label again
01:20:31You know, if our CEO approves
01:20:39Dexter is sleeping
01:20:40But you can see him now
01:20:46Don't be afraid to tell him
01:20:48How you feel, princess
01:21:06It was a close call
01:21:07One centimeter to the right
01:21:09He could have punctured his lung
01:21:11If Dex couldn't sing anymore
01:21:13His life might as well be over
01:21:15Oh, hopefully
01:21:17He'll recover
01:21:18But for now
01:21:19All he needs is rest
01:21:22That's it
01:21:22Okay?
01:21:23Okay
01:21:29What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:33How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:37If you don't make it through this
01:21:39I will never forgive you
01:21:42Never
01:21:46Bye
01:21:52I got you, beautiful
01:21:57Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:00I think I have every right to be
01:22:06Casey, I
01:22:07I miss you
01:22:13I miss him too
01:22:14But everything we've put each other through
01:22:17Can we really be together again?
01:22:20You saved my life
01:22:22And
01:22:25I will be forever grateful
01:22:30And in return
01:22:31I'll give you your song for free
01:22:32And
01:22:33We can go our separate ways
01:22:35We can end on a high note
01:22:36No
01:22:37No
01:22:39Is that really what you want?
01:22:42To walk away from all this forever?
01:22:51Look, there's something I have to show you
01:22:53Something I've been trying to show you
01:23:08That horrible night when I chose Scarlet
01:23:12I only did it because I had to
01:23:14They forced you to choose her
01:23:16I was trying to save your life
01:23:18Okay
01:23:18I would never
01:23:20Ever
01:23:20Ever do that to you
01:23:22I'd choose you a million times over
01:23:24And I knew that I'd break your heart
01:23:26And I knew that I would
01:23:27Lose you
01:23:28And I
01:23:30But I'd rather risk that
01:23:31Than losing your life forever
01:23:38When I said I loved you, Dexter
01:23:40I meant it
01:23:42I don't want to be with anyone else
01:23:45Me neither
01:23:49You're my little muse
01:23:53My pop star
01:23:58Which
01:24:00Reminds me
01:24:03Reed Records
01:24:04Would like to formally
01:24:06Invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival
01:24:09The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage
01:24:12In the world
01:24:13You saved their CEO
01:24:15You deserve it
01:24:16You're the reason I sing
01:24:19You're the reason I live
01:24:20I don't want to songwrite or do any of this
01:24:22If I don't have you
01:24:23You
01:24:25You're my world, Casey
01:24:28I know I've written a lot of songs
01:24:30Okay
01:24:30I know
01:24:32But
01:24:32None of them compare to how I feel
01:24:35I don't want to be with you
01:24:36For just who you are
01:24:37Or what you have
01:24:38Or any of that stuff
01:24:40I don't even want to sing
01:24:41Or have this career
01:24:42I'd give it up in a second
01:24:43If it meant just being with you
01:24:45That's all I need
01:24:48We do it together
01:24:54I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes
01:24:56Okay
01:25:00I want us to do this together
01:25:04I love you
01:25:07I love you too
01:25:21This is the biggest crowd I've ever seen in my life
01:25:26Then we better give them one hell of a show
01:25:30Yes, ma'am
01:25:40I wrote this song with Casey Reed
01:25:43Who is my echo
01:25:45But more importantly
01:25:46She is undoubtedly the love of my life
01:25:52So I hope you enjoy
01:25:53So I hope you enjoy
01:26:17Every time I remember to smile
01:26:23Imagine a world
01:26:25Imagine a world
01:26:25We're together
01:26:28I love you too
01:26:37I love you too
01:26:37I love you too
01:26:40I love you too
01:26:40Stuff in the stockings
01:26:44But I am still walking
01:26:47I love you too
01:26:51I love you too
01:26:52I was the fool who I hated
01:26:54Now I'm recreating
01:26:56Every time I look at the moonfall
01:27:01I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:07Soon you'll see
01:27:09That it's time for you and me
01:27:15Cause the bay is so far
01:27:19We're just a little
01:27:24Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:29I forget where I am
01:27:31Just a little
01:27:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:38I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:42Yeah, yeah
01:27:48I'm taking and talking
01:27:50But I will be walking
01:27:55To the mirror of heaven
01:28:00My heart is still beating
01:28:02Every time I remember to smile
01:28:07I imagine a world
01:28:09We're together
