Short filmTranscript
00:00:18My name is Casey Reed, no one knows I'm the heiress of Reed Records, the billion-dollar
00:00:24music empire, or that I'm Echo, the anonymous producer who swept the Grammys.
00:00:30I chose to stay invisible, because I fell for the one man I shouldn't have, Dexter Hayes,
00:00:36the 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, kids, 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 going to call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:44I'm going to sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:46And I'm going to kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:49I'm going to claim every interview, note by note, in front of the whole world.
00:02:10Hey, Case, um, what's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:14Just, what are you hiding?
00:02:17Nothing.
00:02:17Nothing.
00:02:18It'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 going to be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:51I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:02:54You are going to be my doll.
00:03:06I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:09I'm going to be my daughter.
00:03:14I can't wait to make you my harass.
00:03:14I can't wait to make you my money.
00:03:16I need champagne in Spain.
00:03:25And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter Hayes!
00:03:38Wait for me, right here?
00:03:43Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long as
00:03:48he's in bed with his prompting assistant.
00:03:52A round of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:57Fans already love us. Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:03Scarlet Heart. Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:07She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:10Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:15I've got a really special one for y'all tonight. Hope you enjoy.
00:04:18Sugar, let's go!

00:08:19A secret feeling again
00:08:21I know I was running out of time
00:09:14How could Casey do this?
00:09:16How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:21Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:36He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship
00:09:41I loved her and she betrayed me
00:09:55Oh my god!
00:09:56Dexie!
00:09:57Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:10:01Yes!
00:10:06Oh my god! Dexie!
00:10:09Yes!
00:10:11Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together
00:10:14I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me
00:10:19No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet
00:10:22But she made my career and Casey betrayed me
00:10:30It was all a lie
00:10:33Alright, I can play along with his engagement and
00:10:37I can move on from the woman who broke my heart
00:10:47Hey, uh, Casey
00:10:59You promised me
00:11:02That you'd tell the world about us tonight
00:11:04But instead, you propose and put a ring on Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:11You gave her?
00:11:12Casey, 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
00:11:23I owe her
00:11:24Okay, I owe her
00:11:26Alright, I don't
00:11:26You owe her?
00:11:29Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant
00:11:33What has she ever done for you?
00:11:35Scarlet produced my career
00:11:36She made me who I am today
00:11:39Okay, so that's why
00:11:41What are you talking about?
00:11:45Scarlet is Echo
00:11:49Scarlet is Echo
00:11:53You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:57Well, I know she is
00:11:58You know what?
00:11:59I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me
00:12:03And I feel like this is a good start
00:12:08How could you believe her lies?
00:12:10Come on, all you do is lie
00:12:14You know, I don't even know who you are anymore
00:12:17Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:20To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:24To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:27He could have had that with me
00:12:30This is all you ever really cared about
00:12:33Isn't it?
00:12:36Not loyalty
00:12:39Just your music
00:12:41What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:46This is my notebook
00:12:48Full of songs that I wrote
00:12:51For Dexter's first triple 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 Dexter's little errand girl
00:13:03To get 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
00:13:12Dexy, 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
00:13:29No
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
00:13:54Okay, right now
00:13:55Or we'll lose us forever
00:14:04Please
00:14:04Please
00:14:13The truth doesn't matter anymore
00:14:16You don't trust me anyway
00:14:22We're over
00:14:25Dex
00:14:28Goodbye
00:14:28Forever
00:14:49The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market
00:14:53Dexter Hayes, pop the question to up and coming singer
00:14:56Scarlet Heart tonight
00:14:58And she said yes
00:15:04Dad
00:15:06I gave Dex everything
00:15:08I made his career, but...
00:15:11He doesn't want me
00:15:12He never did
00:15:14What 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...
00:15:25I...
00:15:26Pacey
00:15:27Pacey
00:15:28Pacey, 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
00:15:50Don't worry Scarlet
00:15:51We won't hurt you
00:15:52We're your friends too
00:15:53We've only 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 soul mate
00:16:08I wasn't stealing him
00:16:11We were in love
00:16:13Or...
00:16:13I thought we were
00:16:15We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:18The only way you'll live tonight
00:16:21Is if Dexter chooses to save you
00:16:28Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:33Dressing room
00:16:34Come alone
00:16:35Choose 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?
00:16:52Sir, 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 fiancee?
00:17:09Obviously not
00:17:11She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry
00:17:15You fucked him too?
00:17:17God, our precious Dexter
00:17:21Soiled by a dirty star fucker
00:17:23Girls like you don't deserve him
00:17:25You don't deserve to live
00:17:28No one knows what the real echo looks like
00:17:30So, if Casey dies
00:17:33Then the truth dies with her
00:17:35That's not true
00:17:37First you steal my identity
00:17:39Now you're trying to get me murdered
00:17:40You're psychotic
00:17:42No, don't worry Casey
00:17:44If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you
00:17:47And 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?
00:18:00Dex..
00:18:05Dex...
00:18:07Dex...
00:18:07Dex...
00:18:08Dex.. Dex.... Dex...
00:18:09Dex... Dex, Dex...
00:18:09Dex! Dex! Dex, Dex, Dex, Dex, Dex, Dex, help me, they hit me and then tied me up
00:18:14And now they're trying to kill me
00:18:17Ok guys, let, let's
00:18:19Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:21We can't do that, Dexter. We're your biggest fans. We're doing this for you.
00:18:28Okay, well, if you love me, all right, you'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:34No, that's not how this works. Dexy, you would be nothing without Echo.
00:18:40We're engaged now. You can't let me die.
00:18:43Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love yous you told me, did they
00:18:50mean anything?
00:18:51You must choose one to live. Will it be your future wife? Or your mistress?
00:18:59Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:03They said if I don't choose Scarlet, then they both die. I can save Casey, but I have to break
00:19:09her heart.
00:19:11Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:19You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:23And you loved him? You leeched off him for half a decade.
00:19:28If that's what you really think, Dex, go ahead. Make your choice.
00:19:32Choose now or they both die.
00:19:34Dexter. Dexter, please. Think of everything I've done for you.
00:19:38You dumped her. You chose me. Don't let them murder me.
00:19:43That's enough. We're pulling the trigger in three, two, one.
00:19:49Okay, okay, okay.
00:19:50I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:53Scarlet, all right? I choose Scarlet.
00:20:00Dexter, I'm gonna faint.
00:20:02I was so scared.
00:20:04He chose Scarlet?
00:20:06Good choice.
00:20:07Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:09Now, wait a minute. You told me that...
00:20:11You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:14Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:17And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:20No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:20:27I guess this is the end.
00:20:30I guess this is the end.
00:20:34Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:36Put the gun down!
00:20:39Put the gun down!
00:20:41Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:43Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:54Let's go! Let's go!
00:20:56Okay, okay, come on, okay.
00:20:58All right.
00:21:00All right.
00:21:01All right.
00:21:04It's gonna be okay.
00:21:05Okay?
00:21:06You left me to die!
00:21:08And for the record, I never needed your money.
00:21:11I was right to walk away.
00:21:13Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made.
00:21:17Look, Casey, you don't understand, all right?
00:21:19They were gonna make me...
00:21:20I'm done living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:31Casey, Casey, Casey.
00:21:32Hey.
00:21:41Casey.
00:21:42Casey, stop.
00:21:43Please, stop.
00:21:44Please, please.
00:21:45We're gonna go...
00:21:46Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:47You should be asking yourself that same question.
00:21:51Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:54You're delusional.
00:21:55He doesn't need you.
00:21:56He has Echo.
00:21:58Yeah.
00:21:59Sure he does.
00:22:01Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:22:07Fame changed me?
00:22:09Okay.
00:22:11And what about you?
00:22:12You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:17I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:23You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:26No, Casey, you don't understand.
00:22:28I was trying to...
00:22:53Oh my god, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:57It's...
00:22:59So sorry it didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:23:04You're here now.
00:23:06Take me home.
00:23:16I'm here!
00:23:19I don't see you!
00:23:21I don't see you!
00:23:22I don't see you!
00:23:23I don't see you!
00:23:23I'm shot!
00:23:24I don't see you!
00:23:27I don't see you!
00:23:27I don't see you!
00:23:27I was trying to...
00:23:29Kei-Shay!
00:23:36Kei-Shay!
00:23:40Kei-Shay!
00:23:41Kei-Shay!
00:23:43Let me explain!
00:23:48Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it.
00:23:52I almost died.
00:23:53And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:57I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:24:00She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:24:03Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:24:08Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:11She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:13All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:16I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:18But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:22No.
00:24:27Forget him, Princess.
00:24:29Hmm?
00:24:30You are much too talented to be running some rockstar's errands.
00:24:34How could I be so blind?
00:24:39Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala, announcing you as the new CEO of Reed
00:24:45Records.
00:24:46And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:50It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:25:01My back is pressed.
00:25:09My back is pressed.
00:25:17Nooo.
00:25:19Okay.
00:25:20Guys.
00:25:21Cut the track.
00:25:24The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:27Look, guys.
00:25:28We have one week.
00:25:30Alright?
00:25:30to finish this song before the release.
00:25:33The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:37You can't even fix a simple beat or a key.
00:25:41What's going on?
00:25:43Look, Scarlett, I just gotta ask.
00:25:45Are you really Echo?
00:25:51Are you really Echo?
00:25:55Dexy.
00:25:57Of course I am.
00:25:59Um, it's just your new assistant.
00:26:03He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:26:05He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:26:08I mean, look.
00:26:11Last Saved by Max.
00:26:13Yeah, that's because you don't know how to...
00:26:15Okay, you know what?
00:26:16Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:21Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:23It's dead.
00:26:24And I'm sorry, but my last assistant
00:26:27would have never screwed me over like that.
00:26:29You're fired.
00:26:37See it again.
00:26:53Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:57Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:13We're sorry.
00:27:14You have reached a number that has been disconnected
00:27:16or is no longer in service.
00:27:19Alright, she broke my heart
00:27:21and she moved on.
00:27:23So, why can't I do the same?
00:27:42Look what we just got.
00:27:44An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:47The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:51Yeah!
00:27:57Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:59Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:28:00Dexter!
00:28:02You said it yourself.
00:28:03They can lay down a track in hours.
00:28:05We have to go.
00:28:06This is a personal invitation
00:28:08from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:11Okay, look.
00:28:14I know what you're thinking,
00:28:16but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:18He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:20I'm sure he has a whole roster
00:28:21of scorned assistants lining up
00:28:23to get on their knees
00:28:24and work for a few extra bucks.
00:28:25You have to go
00:28:26and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:28He could make or break our careers.
00:28:32Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:34Of course I am.
00:28:36We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:39So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours
00:28:43and start getting ready.
00:28:45I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:47Her coarse, tangled hair?
00:28:51Or her dull, crusty skin?
00:28:55Or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:29:02I'm Echo.
00:29:03I'm the Reed heiress.
00:29:05And I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:11Scarlet, open the door.
00:29:12Show me small.
00:29:13You're a big ton, that's true.
00:29:14You're a big ton, that's true.
00:29:15You're a big ton.
00:29:16You're a big ton.
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?
00:29:32I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter,
00:29:36the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:38Do you think she's going to be the new CEO?
00:29:39I don't know.
00:29:40Who is this mysterious heiress?
00:29:42She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:45I bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:48Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:50She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:52Look, here she is now!
00:30:03No fucking way!
00:30:06No fucking way!
00:30:30Casey?
00:30:34Casey?
00:30:36Hey, Dex.
00:30:37Long time no see.
00:30:41Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:44I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:47So, why does my heart still ache?
00:31:05Ignore her.
00:31:06And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so 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, and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:19She's right.
00:31:20I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:41Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:44I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:47But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:51I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:54But the party's just getting started.
00:31:56I can't miss the big announcement.
00:32:01Why?
00:32:02So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:32:06I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed, so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:11And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:13Leave, or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:16I'd love to see you try.
00:32:21Jealous?
00:32:23I loved him, and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:26How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:30You can dress up all you want, but you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:39I thought she was someone important.
00:32:41She's just a desperate assistant, playing dress up.
00:32:45Imagine getting dragged by the Scarlet heart.
00:32:48I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:50Where 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.
00:32:59They got that right.
00:33:00Hmm.
00:33:02Is that so?
00:33:03Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:33:05Is it really me?
00:33:07Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:12Is it you?
00:33:14How dare you?
00:33:17Careful.
00:33:19The 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, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make
00:33:30in pay-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:32But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:35And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you canceled so fucking
00:33:41hard, your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:46Mr. Reid, uh, hi, uh, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:49Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:51Um, uh, you've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:54Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind
00:34:00us.
00:34:01Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:34:04Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected
00:34:10is my daughter and the heiress to the Reid record's fortune.
00:34:14Eh, well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record
00:34:18that Scarlet Heart and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:21I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius
00:34:27over the last many decades, I 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, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:37Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with the new CEO, I, well, that would make
00:34:43me forever, 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.
00:35:04Casey.
00:35:05Casey.
00:35:08Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days and, well, I guess it's
00:35:13I'm just surprised that instead you've just showed up here.
00:35:16I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:22But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:26Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:30What, you missed me already?
00:35:31Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:34This event is invite only.
00:35:39Yeah.
00:35:41Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:45You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but 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 right here, right now.
00:36:00Yeah, right.
00:36:01The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:36:06You have no power here.
00:36:08Okay, guys.
00:36:09Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:13Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:16Aw, Dex.
00:36:18You forgot to say please.
00:36:23Wait, Casey, what?
00:36:29Ladies and gentlemen, it'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, who has written hundreds of songs and never
00:36:54put her name on one of them, because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:37:01No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:37:03It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:37:08Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:10He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:12All right, this is it.
00:37:13He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:15I want to introduce the heir to my billion-dollar music empire, and the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:24My princess, and the light of my life, my daughter, Casey Reed.
00:37:35What?
00:37:37No.
00:37:41No.
00:38:06That's the Reed heiress?
00:38:08Holy shit.
00:38:09She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:11She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:14Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:16Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:20She just committed career suicide.
00:38:22Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:23For the lady of the hour.
00:38:25Ugh.
00:38:26That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:29Dad, this is too much.
00:38:31There's something from your old man, and 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, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:47Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:50He was her father.
00:38:51This whole time, she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:54She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:59How could I be so blind?
00:39:08What suits you?
00:39:10Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:15Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:17Casey, I, I love, I just...
00:39:31I just...
00:39:32I still miss you.
00:39:43Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:46Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:52But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:54Please, you have to believe me, okay?
00:39:55If you just let me explain, I promise...
00:39:57Explain what, Dexter?
00:39:58Are you here, why you want me back, after finding out I'm your boss?
00:40:04Or leaving me for Echo?
00:40:08No, no, look, that's, that's not why I'm here.
00:40:11If you just let me tell you, I, I, I mean, come on, Casey.
00:40:15I mean, you gotta understand, I, you're the one who lied to me.
00:40:18I lied?
00:40:19Yeah.
00:40:19And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:23I didn't want any of that to happen.
00:40:26You have to believe me, please.
00:40:27I was just trying to...
00:40:30Look, I...
00:40:31Just tell me one thing, okay?
00:40:33I guess, why, why are you here?
00:40:34Are you here just...
00:40:35Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:38Tank my career?
00:40:41Oh, tank your career.
00:40:43I made his career.
00:40:46I loved you, Dexter.
00:40:49You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea who I am.
00:40:53Wait.
00:40:58This, this is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it?
00:41:02Why you left me for dead.
00:41:06Sucked up to my dad.
00:41:08Threw me to the curb for the fame, the fortune, the fans.
00:41:14No, no, please.
00:41:15No, no, no, actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:21Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:26I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:29Reed Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:40Effective immediately.
00:41:41Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:41:48You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was, because if I didn't, I might
00:41:54not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:57Casey, none of that is true, okay?
00:41:59None of this.
00:42:00I don't care about that.
00:42:01I've always loved you.
00:42:02Don't you bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter?
00:42:05She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:42:10Scarlet is Echo.
00:42:12She can produce songs.
00:42:14She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Reed Records.
00:42:18Dexter, you don't need her.
00:42:19She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:22Okay, mom, mom.
00:42:24Stop.
00:42:24You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:28I'm done talking about this.
00:42:50I've known you for years.
00:42:55I've known you for years.
00:43:03I've known you for years.
00:43:05I've known you for years.
00:43:17I'm still missing you
00:43:22I'm still
00:43:24I'm still
00:43:26I'm still missing you
00:43:29I'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.
00:44:07I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dex.
00:44:18Fine.
00:44:20Let's not talk.
00:44:30What's wrong?
00:44:31Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied.
00:44:36I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant.
00:44:44Not anymore.
00:44:46I'm your former boss now.
00:44:48In fact, here are your termination letters.
00:44:55I don't give a fuck about the contract.
00:44:57I don't give a shit about my career.
00:44:59I just want you.
00:45:00And I know that you want me too.
00:45:03And I act like you've forgotten
00:45:06what we had.
00:45:08I've been trying to.
00:45:10But being this close again, it feels impossible.
00:45:15You're a lot like an instrument.
00:45:17But you tremble every time we touch.
00:45:26I don't care about the fans.
00:45:28I don't give a shit about the tabloids.
00:45:29I don't care what the rec labels have to say.
00:45:30If you tell me that you want to be with me,
00:45:35we'll be together.
00:45:41We can tease each other, okay?
00:45:44Until you finally admit
00:45:46You still love me.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:14I am like an instrument.
00:46:15The way I let you play me.
00:46:18After what you did,
00:46:19why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:21Listen to me.
00:46:22I've been trying to tell you
00:46:24I do not want to be with Skullet.
00:46:26Hello?
00:46:28Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way.
00:46:31Whoa, 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
00:46:38a hundred million streams.
00:46:40I mean, we have a Dexter Hayes
00:46:42size hold-a-fill
00:46:43and he could be the next big thing.
00:46:44It's not safe, Casey.
00:46:46You don't need him.
00:46:47No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:46:49I don't think you,
00:46:50of all people,
00:46:52get to tell me what I need.
00:46:53Casey.
00:46:54Casey.
00:46:55Casey!
00:46:56Casey!
00:46:58Casey has every right
00:46:59to be angry with me
00:47:00after what I did.
00:47:01I have to prove
00:47:02she can trust me again.
00:47:15perfect timing.
00:47:16Make yourself comfortable.
00:47:18Thank you for meeting me
00:47:18on self-short notice.
00:47:20Sasha generally doesn't like
00:47:21women who speak too much.
00:47:24I've made an exception for you.
00:47:25Do you always refer to yourself
00:47:27in the third person?
00:47:28I don't know
00:47:29what that means.
00:47:30But
00:47:32you want to hear
00:47:33one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:34They're a big hit online.
00:47:36I'm very excited
00:47:37about a potential partnership.
00:47:38Wow.
00:47:40I 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.
00:47:46So 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?
00:48:14Shall we?
00:48:15How can I resist?
00:48:16I do love straight vodka.
00:48:25But you know what I
00:48:27actually
00:48:29love even more than that?
00:48:32What's that?
00:48:33Exposing
00:48:35asshole pervs.
00:48:36My hair!
00:48:37What the fuck?
00:48:39You really think
00:48:40you can drug me?
00:48:41And then what?
00:48:42Force me to sign you
00:48:43to read records?
00:48:44Now you know
00:48:45who you're dealing with.
00:48:47Not so fast.
00:48:49You thought you could
00:48:49just walk in here
00:48:50and demand a live performance
00:48:51from the Sasha Silver?
00:48:53Do I look
00:48:54like a little bitch to you?
00:48:56Absolutely.
00:48:57And a fraud.
00:49:00I'll be sure
00:49:01no label will ever
00:49:02sign you
00:49:03no matter how talented
00:49:04you are.
00:49:06I won't need a label
00:49:07to sign me.
00:49:08Not when I get
00:49:09read records
00:49:09for myself.
00:49:13Don't be shy, Casey.
00:49:14I'm just hoping
00:49:15you get ready.
00:49:16The paparazzi will be here
00:49:17any 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
00:49:22what a slut you are.
00:49:24How you slept
00:49:24your way to the top.
00:49:26Your poor father.
00:49:28He's going to have
00:49:29no choice
00:49:29but to hand you
00:49:31and your company
00:49:31over to me.
00:49:33You're delusional.
00:49:34Stay away from me.
00:49:36I'm fine.
00:49:36You don't test Sasha.
00:49:38Hey!
00:49:39Get your fucking hands off.
00:49:42I'll break your fucking hands.
00:49:45Extra heads.
00:49:46Huh?
00:49:47Are 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,
00:49:58sweetheart.
00:49:59You're just a wash-up addict.
00:50:00And you do not have
00:50:01a leg to stand on.
00:50:03Okay?
00:50:07Okay, I'm sorry.
00:50:09Jesus.
00:50:10We could have produced
00:50:11a sick-ass record together.
00:50:13You kind of wanted
00:50:13to defend this
00:50:14used-up slut.
00:50:17I mean, what the fuck?
00:50:20The name
00:50:21is K.C. Wayne
00:50:22and she's the future
00:50:24of the industry
00:50:25that 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.
00:50:41Let's go.
00:50:44Give me your hand.
00:50:53Casey, I've been telling you
00:50:54for months.
00:50:55Sasha Silver is little-
00:50:56My business
00:50:57is none of your concern.
00:50:59If I didn't show up tonight,
00:51:00what the hell do you think
00:51:01would have happened?
00:51:02Do you have any idea
00:51:03what he could have done to you?
00:51:03He could have raped you.
00:51:05Yes!
00:51:05He could have done-
00:51:05Okay!
00:51:06I know!
00:51:08Newsflash!
00:51:08I'm not your assistant
00:51:10anymore!
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
00:51:24fucking moving.
00:51:26Stop following you
00:51:27the minute that you
00:51:28stop making stupid
00:51:30fucking decisions.
00:51:32And when I've made it
00:51:34for 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 fiancé
00:51:45be jealous?
00:51:50I've been trying
00:51:51to tell you
00:51:52for weeks
00:51:53I did not
00:51:54want
00:51:55to marry
00:51:56Scarlet.
00:51:58You don't fucking listen.
00:52:00Now you're really
00:52:01starting to piss me off.
00:52:02Isn't that the point?
00:52:14What am I supposed to do?
00:52:17Pretend she
00:52:18doesn't exist
00:52:20and be
00:52:20the pop star's
00:52:22secret
00:52:23side piece
00:52:24again?
00:52:26I should push him away
00:52:28but
00:52:28I can't deny
00:52:29how much
00:52:30I miss his touch.
00:52:31You were never
00:52:32the side piece
00:52:34and you know it.
00:52:45Boss!
00:52:46I have news!
00:52:48Thank you
00:52:49for your help
00:52:50today, Dexter.
00:52:53please
00:52:54stop following me
00:52:58or else
00:52:59it's going to get
00:52:59harder and harder
00:53:01to walk away.
00:53:11Great timing.
00:53:12As always.
00:53:14Why are you even here?
00:53:15I've done what you asked.
00:53:16News of Sasha Silver's
00:53:17fraudulence
00:53:18and drug abuse
00:53:19have been leaked
00:53:19to the press.
00:53:20No label,
00:53:21studio,
00:53:21or brand
00:53:22will go anywhere near him.
00:53:23His net worth
00:53:23plummeted to zero.
00:53:25Good.
00:53:26Buy all the rights
00:53:27to his music.
00:53:29I'm going to give that
00:53:30to Casey as a gift.
00:53:36I heard what happened
00:53:37with Sasha.
00:53:38Now that was way
00:53:39too risky, Casey.
00:53:40Look,
00:53:41I'm far from
00:53:41Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:43but that could have
00:53:43gotten real ugly
00:53:44if he hadn't shown up.
00:53:46I could have handled Sasha.
00:53:47There was also
00:53:48a huge leak
00:53:48in the press.
00:53:49All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:51dirty laundry
00:53:52aired out
00:53:52for everyone to see.
00:53:53He's been,
00:53:54what do you kids call it,
00:53:55canceled.
00:53:56Who took him down?
00:53:58Dexter Hayes.
00:54:04He even bought
00:54:05the rights
00:54:06to Sasha's music.
00:54:07He can't sing
00:54:08anything anywhere
00:54:09or get sued
00:54:10to hell and back.
00:54:11Dex took down
00:54:12Sasha Silver
00:54:13for me?
00:54:15Maybe.
00:54:16He's not as bad
00:54:17as I thought.
00:54:18Or maybe he should
00:54:19stop interfering
00:54:20himself with my life.
00:54:25The world famous
00:54:27music producer Echo
00:54:28is set to finally
00:54:29reveal their identity
00:54:30at the legendary
00:54:31Universal Music Awards
00:54:32tomorrow night.
00:54:34Scarlet's getting desperate.
00:54:36She's trying to convince
00:54:37the world she's Echo
00:54:38before it can expose
00:54:39her lies.
00:54:40She can't keep up
00:54:41the act forever.
00:54:42Sooner or later,
00:54:43Dexter will realize
00:54:43she can't even
00:54:44hold a tune.
00:54:45Much less
00:54:46produce a hit track.
00:54:48Scarlet is nothing
00:54:48if she's not Echo.
00:54:50She knows Dexter
00:54:51wouldn't look at her
00:54:52twice, let alone
00:54:53marry her,
00:54:54if she wasn't
00:54:55pretending to be
00:54:55a genius producer.
00:54:56I don't know
00:54:57how she thinks
00:54:57she's going to
00:54:58get away with it.
00:55:00I think it's time
00:55:02the world finds out
00:55:03who the real Echo is.
00:55:09You want to go
00:55:10to the UMAs
00:55:11as Echo?
00:55:12They've invited me
00:55:13every year
00:55:13and I've always refused.
00:55:15I've let this scam
00:55:16go on long enough.
00:55:17It's time the world
00:55:18finds out the truth
00:55:19about Scarlet Heart.
00:55:20The world?
00:55:21Or Dexter?
00:55:25This isn't about him.
00:55:29He made his bed
00:55:30when he proposed
00:55:30to Scarlet.
00:55:31Well, my daughter
00:55:32deserves all the
00:55:33recognition of the world.
00:55:35But if you're going to go
00:55:36as Echo,
00:55:37oh, you're going to do it right.
00:55:39with the best equipment
00:55:40money can buy.
00:55:41Huh?
00:55:44I want people to see
00:55:45my princess
00:55:46for the queen
00:55:47that she is.
00:55:51You're the best, Dad.
00:56:06Mrs. Hayes,
00:56:08it's so good
00:56:09to see you again.
00:56:11How's Dexter?
00:56:13Engaged.
00:56:14Yes, my future
00:56:16daughter-in-law
00:56:17is performing
00:56:17at the Universal Music Awards
00:56:19tomorrow
00:56:20and I'd like to gift her
00:56:21something to mark
00:56:22the occasion.
00:56:23So none of these
00:56:24mass-produced guitars.
00:56:26She's a musical genius.
00:56:28We need something
00:56:29one of a kind
00:56:30just like her.
00:56:31Of course.
00:56:32I have the perfect gift
00:56:33for her,
00:56:34a custom
00:56:35Fender Signature
00:56:36Stratocaster.
00:56:42Please don't touch that.
00:56:44Those instruments
00:56:45are only for
00:56:46our VIP clientele.
00:56:48Yeah.

00:57:10of a right
00:57:11to be here
00:57:11as you.
00:57:12Because of your
00:57:13Nepo Baby
00:57:13connections,
00:57:15we all know
00:57:15money can't
00:57:16buy talent.
00:57:18Tell that to
00:57:19Scarlett.
00:57:20Excuse me?
00:57:21I am Dexter Hayes'
00:57:23fiance
00:57:23and creative
00:57:24collaborator.
00:57:25And you don't
00:57:26really know
00:57:26anything about
00:57:27music.
00:57:29Yeah.
00:57:30You're right.
00:57:31In that case,
00:57:33you should have
00:57:34this.
00:57:45Oh, my God!
00:57:48What?
00:57:52Oops.
00:57:53Slipped out of my
00:57:54hands.
00:57:55My bad.
00:57:57Oh!
00:57:57Are you insane?
00:57:59You just destroyed
00:58:00a million-dollar
00:58:01guitar.
00:58:03Security!
00:58:04Take this
00:58:04woman away!
00:58:06Hold on just
00:58:06one second.
00:58:08Dexter Hayes?
00:58:09Oh, my God.
00:58:11I need to speak
00:58:12to the owner
00:58:13about an offer.
00:58:14You think you
00:58:14set it up for me?
00:58:15Yes, of course,
00:58:16Mr. Hayes.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:22It's all yours now.
00:58:32Scarlett,
00:58:33ignore this
00:58:34wannabe musician.
00:58:36We'll find
00:58:37a better option.
00:58:39Mmm.
00:58:43Like this one.
00:58:45Beyonce used
00:58:46this on her
00:58:47last album.
00:58:48This instrument
00:58:49is worthy of
00:58:50echo the genius
00:58:52producer.
00:58:53Hey, hey, hey,
00:58:54hey, hey.
00:58:55Actually, actually,
00:58:56this guitar is no
00:58:58longer available.
00:58:59In fact, my entire
00:59:00collection is on
00:59:01hold for the new
00:59:02owner.
00:59:04I'm gonna just...
00:59:07My apologies?
00:59:08My apologies.
00:59:08Apologies.
00:59:09No, no, no, no, no.
00:59:10We saw it first.
00:59:12Look, look.
00:59:13We just want
00:59:14the one guitar.
00:59:15I'm sure we can
00:59:15come to a generous
00:59:16agreement.
00:59:17You could pay
00:59:18all you want
00:59:18for the guitar,
00:59:19but it's not
00:59:20gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:21from choking
00:59:22on the stage.
00:59:27How dare you,
00:59:28you little bitch!
00:59:35That's enough.
00:59:39Hi, Jesse.
00:59:42Are you okay?
00:59:44Dexter, she just
00:59:46insulted your
00:59:47Beyonce.
00:59:48You need to do
00:59:49something.
00:59:50Mom, do you really
00:59:51want to have a
00:59:51conversation right
00:59:52here and now about
00:59:53the current status
00:59:54of my engagement?
00:59:56Scarlett's talent
00:59:57as a producer is
00:59:58the reason you're
00:59:59as famous as you
01:00:00are, Dexter.
01:00:01The least you could
01:00:03do is show her
01:00:04a little respect.
01:00:06You know,
01:00:07actually, I'm
01:00:08sorry, you're
01:00:09right.
01:00:09I should show
01:00:11respect to the
01:00:12one person who's
01:00:13always been there
01:00:13for me.
01:00:16Please ring up
01:00:17the guitar for
01:00:18Miss Hunt.
01:00:18I knew you
01:00:19would support me.
01:00:20Mr. Hayes,
01:00:21it's not for sale.
01:00:23You know, why
01:00:23don't you ask the
01:00:24new owner how
01:00:25much it costs,
01:00:26and I'll pay it
01:00:27whatever it is
01:00:27right here and
01:00:28now.
01:00:30Miss Reed,
01:00:31as the new
01:00:31owner of the
01:00:32store, how much
01:00:33would you like to
01:00:33charge the guitar
01:00:34for?
01:00:35Wait, what?
01:00:36What?
01:00:39I'm sorry, I'm
01:00:40the new owner?
01:00:44Consider it a late
01:00:45birthday gift for
01:00:46my former assistant.
01:00:47You did this for
01:00:48me?
01:00:50You really think I
01:00:51need a music store?
01:00:53Well, as CEO of
01:00:54Reed Records, you
01:00:55probably don't know.
01:00:55But from someone who
01:00:57cares about you a lot,
01:00:58why the hell not?
01:01:01Dexter, are you
01:01:02insane?
01:01:04she's not even a
01:01:05real musician, and
01:01:06you gave her the
01:01:07entire store?
01:01:09You're gonna make
01:01:10us pay her for a
01:01:12guitar?
01:01:13Oh, it's okay.
01:01:14Scarlett could have
01:01:15it for free, as long
01:01:16as she shows us the
01:01:17big hit that she's
01:01:18working on.
01:01:22Casey, I am not
01:01:23stooping to your
01:01:24level.
01:01:24And besides, we're
01:01:26late for hair and
01:01:27makeup.
01:01:28I will talk to you
01:01:29about this later.
01:01:31You will regret
01:01:33this.
01:01:34Casey has done
01:01:35nothing but ruin
01:01:36you.
01:01:36She's just a pretty
01:01:38face with no talent
01:01:39to back it up.
01:01:40Thanks, Mom.
01:01:47One, I'm not your
01:01:49assistant anymore.
01:01:50It's Miss Reed, and
01:01:51I'm the CEO of
01:01:52Reed Records.
01:01:54Two, my birthday
01:01:55was months ago.
01:01:57Actually, the night
01:01:58that you proposed a
01:01:59Scarlett, so your gift
01:02:00means nothing.
01:02:04Did you know I was
01:02:05actually gonna tell
01:02:05you my secret that
01:02:06night?
01:02:06What secret?
01:02:11Secret?
01:02:11Hold on.
01:02:12What are you
01:02:12talking about?
01:02:12What secret?
01:02:16Should I tell him
01:02:17the truth?
01:02:19No.
01:02:20That I wanted to
01:02:20spend every single
01:02:21day of the rest of
01:02:22my life with you.
01:02:26But not anymore.
01:02:29I don't need you.
01:02:41Don't pay attention to
01:02:42anything she just said.
01:02:42Yeah.
01:02:43I want you to get the
01:02:43best equipment and the
01:02:44best instruments to her
01:02:46collection.
01:02:46Yes, sir.
01:02:49Oh, one more thing.
01:02:52She's fired.
01:02:54Yes, sir.
01:02:58But, Dexter, you can't do
01:03:00this.
01:03:00I love you.
01:03:14Mr. Hayes, Ms. Hart, you're on in five.
01:03:17The broadcast will begin live.
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.
01:03:27The 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.
01:03:36It's time.
01:03:36Let's go.
01:03:37Scarlet!
01:03:52You can't start the show without me.
01:03:58I knew you'd make it.
01:03:59Of course she did.
01:04:00Her daddy probably got her a ticket 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
01:04:13when you yourself have none.
01:04:15Mm.
01:04:16I'm getting a lecture about talent from you.
01:04:20Oh.
01:04:21Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight.
01:04:24Break a leg, Scarlet.
01:04:26Or should I say, Echo.
01:04:29Don't choke.
01:04:31Hope you don't choke.
01:04:55The playback's down.
01:04:57The track's gone.
01:04:58Completely white.
01:04:59You have another version of the track, right?
01:05:05I didn't even make that version.
01:05:07I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me home to her reject tracks.
01:05:10Go fix this.
01:05:11Now.
01:05:14This is bad.
01:05:15All right.
01:05:16Everyone's just out there staring at us.
01:05:18We're gonna burn the broadcast, and the label's gonna drop us.
01:05:21What are we gonna do?
01:05:22I have an idea.
01:05:25You're Echo, right?
01:05:38Yes.
01:05:40It's true.
01:05:41I'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?
01:05:54Come on.
01:05:54You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:56I mean, this 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.
01:06:36She'll must go on.
01:06:37Nice try.
01:06:39Scarlet's proven herself enough.
01:06:41You can stop with the jealous witch hunt now.
01:06:44Okay.
01:06:44Can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle?
01:06:47And can you pan from stage left to stage right real quick?
01:06:52Yeah.
01:06:59Damn.
01:07:00I guess you're going to 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, I think you were trying to sabotage me.
01:07:18Scarlet, Scarlet.
01:07:19Why would Casey do that?
01:07:20For real?
01:07:21Okay.
01:07:21You're Echo.
01:07:23Okay.
01:07:23So just fix the track.
01:07:38Scarlet, Scarlet, you are our only hope now.
01:07:42You have to fix this.
01:07:44I could if I had something other than this shoddy Reed Records music equipment to work with.
01:07:49Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:53Oh, I actually would, gladly.
01:07:55But it's actually your big night, so why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:59and how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar?
01:08:02Echo!
01:08:03Echo!
01:08:04Echo!
01:08:05Echo!
01:08:06Echo!
01:08:07Echo!
01:08:07Echo!
01:08:08Echo!
01:08:08Just your Echo, okay?
01:08:10Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track.
01:08:13It's that simple.
01:08:13You know how to do this.
01:08:15You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:08:19I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her.
01:08:23Casey shouldn't even be here.
01:08:25I can't let her expose me.
01:08:27Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter and becoming a pop legend.
01:08:53Is this part of her process?
01:08:54It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music.
01:09:16Oh, my God, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:22Come on, Echo.
01:09:23Show them your talent.
01:09:24Keep going.
01:09:25Get off the stage!
01:09:27You're ruining the UMAs!
01:09:31All right, 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.
01:09:43That whole career that I fought for for however many years?
01:09:46Yeah.
01:09:50Because you know what?
01:09:52Someone that I was close to once told me that there's a lot more to life than just your career.
01:09:58And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig as a personal assistant for the new CEO of
01:10:03Reed 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 the song.
01:10:16Now it's over.
01:10:18It's over.
01:10:30It's over.
01:10:33Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show.
01:10:37No, no.
01:10:39There's no, there's, there's no other...
01:10:41Hey!
01:10:41It's time to let a real musician take the stage.
01:10:52What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:54Mom, mom, stop.
01:10:56You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:59I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down as the worst performer in UMA history.
01:11:04If I couldn't mix a whole live track, what makes you think you could?
01:11:08For one, I know what I'm doing.
01:11:11And if you don't, will you step down as Reed Records CEO if you fail?
01:11:17Happily.
01:11:18Hmm.
01:11:21Everyone, 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.
01:11:33Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice.
01:11:37Right now.
01:11:38Right now.
01:11:44I am not the kind for a show.
01:11:52This is not a one-time thing.
01:11:56Lights are low, but I still will.
01:12:00This 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?
01:12:41I can't.
01:12:42I don't have butt.
01:12:43You don't need anything except for a band and raw talent.
01:12:47I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:52Since when is Casey Reed a musical genius?
01:12:55That sounds...
01:12:56It's...
01:12:57Familiar.
01:13:03This is not a one-time thing.
01:13:06Stop!
01:13:07Stop it!
01:13:19Casey.
01:13:22You're Echo.
01:13:23Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:27This is my song.
01:13:29She just ripped it off.
01:13:30Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
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.
01:13:56No, that was me.
01:13:57I already did all the work.
01:13:59She'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, but 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.
01:14:34I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart 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 and then Scarlet can 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.
01:15:00I was wrong about you.
01:15:02You saved Dexter's song.
01:15:05I'm sorry.
01:15:09And you?
01:15:10Do it.
01:15:11Apologize to her.
01:15:13That bitch!
01:15:14Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:16She ruined everything.
01:15:18Come on.
01:15:18Let's hear it.
01:15:19Tell the world the truth.
01:15:20Scarlet.
01:15:21Fine.
01:15:22I'm not Echo.
01:15:24I pretended and I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs.
01:15:27They are happy?
01:15:31They are happy?
01:15:34Wait.
01:15:35That's not what I really meant.
01:15:38Dexter.
01:15:39She manipulated me.
01:15:40You're still my fiance.
01:15:42You believe me?
01:15:42Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see.
01:15:45You fucking fought and you're a damn liar.
01:15:48Casey is the one who built my career.
01:15:51Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song.
01:15:54She's the only one who ever cared about me or loved me.
01:15:59Our engagement is off.
01:16:01And so is the record.
01:16:05I'm sorry.
01:16:25Please don't cancel the album.
01:16:26The album?
01:16:28Terminating your contract.
01:16:29And blacklisting you from the industry.
01:16:31Two years old.
01:16:38You got yourself a deal of case.
01:16:48Hit it.
01:16:53If we're not here for long
01:16:58Tell me where would we belong
01:17:04My back is passed against the wall
01:17:10I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:16Your name's on fire in my wings
01:17:22It's burning through my chains
01:17:27Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:33Who am I to look like?
01:17:37This mirror shows a thousand faces
01:17:41But you're not all thinking about
01:18:12But you're not all thinking about
01:18:39Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know,
01:18:42are you the award-winning genius music producer, Echo?
01:18:46I think everyone saw the broadcast 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.
01:19:24That won't happen again.
01:19:25Dex, no!
01:19:39Dex! Dex, stay with me!
01:19:41Oh my god!
01:19:46Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:49You've been here all night.
01:19:52You still love him, don't you?
01:19:55Dexter saved my life, but...
01:19:58As soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:01You know, if you say so.
01:20:02But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:07It doesn't matter now.
01:20:09Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:12Casey, 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.
01:20:28Your love.
01:20:29Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:31I mean...
01:20:32A love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:38Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:41Hm?
01:20:41Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:44The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival.
01:20:48And sign him to the label again.
01:20:50You know, if our CEO approves.
01:20:58Dexter is sleeping.
01:20:59But you can see him now.
01:21:06Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, Princess.
01:21:25It was a close call.
01:21:27One centimeter to the right.
01:21:29He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:31If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:35Oh, hopefully.
01:21:36He'll recover.
01:21:38But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:41That's it.
01:21:42Okay?
01:21:43Okay.
01:21:49What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:21:52How could you do something so stupid?
01:21:57If 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.
01:22:26Casey, I...
01:22:31I miss you.
01:22:33I 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...
01:22:45I will be forever grateful.
01:22:49And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:22:52And, um...
01:22:53We can go our separate ways.
01:22:55We can end on a high note.
01:22:56No.
01:22:56Listen.
01:22:57No.
01:22:57No.
01:22:59Is that really what you want?
01:23:01To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:11Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:13Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:28That horrible night when I chose Scarlet...
01:23:32I only did it because I had to.
01:23:34They forced you to choose her.
01:23:36I...
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, and I knew that I would lose you, and I...
01:23:50But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:23:56Okay.
01:23:58When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:02I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:04Me neither.
01:24:09You're my little muse.
01:24:13My pop star.
01:24:19Which...
01:24:20Reminds me...
01:24:23Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:30The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:34You saved their CEO. You deserve it.
01:24:36You're the reason I sing.
01:24:39You're the reason I live.
01:24:40I don't want to songwrite or do any of this 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? I 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.
01:25:02I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:05That's all I need.
01:25:08You 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.
01:25:25I love you.
01:25:27I love you.
01:25:28I 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.
01:25:52Yes, ma'am.
01:26:00I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:06But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:12So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:15So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:40There will be time I remember to smile.
01:26:43I imagine a world where together.
01:26:58This goes on.
01:27:02There's stuff in the stockings, but I am still walking across.
01:27:08I don't do.
01:27:12I was the fool who I hated.
01:27:14Now I'm re-created.
01:27:17Every time I look at the moon's fall.
01:27:22I dream of a night that's lost forever.
01:27:27Soon you'll see that it's time for you and me.
01:27:34And it's the best so far
01:27:39We just let on
01:27:45Every time I look in your eyes
01:27:49I forget where I am
01:27:52Just let on
01:27:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
01:27:58I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:08I'm taking and talking
01:28:11But I will be watching
01:28:14Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:28:18The mirror ain't happening
01:28:20My heart ain't still breathing
01:28:23Every time I remember to smile
01:28:27I imagine the world we're together
01:28:31I imagine the world we're together
01:28:33I imagine the world we're together
01:28:40I imagine the world we're together
01:28:40You
