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, or that I'm
00:00:24Echo, 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
00:00:34Hayes, the rockstar I secretly built from the ground up.
00:00:38I'm his assistant, his lover, and his ghostwriter.
00:00:42We share the same music, but never the same spotlight.
00:00:47Will you spit in my mouth?
00:00:49No!
00:00:52No!
00:00:54No!
00:00:55No!
00:00:55No!
00:01:00Dex.
00:01:00We're backstage.
00:01:01Someone might see us.
00:01:05I am so done hiding you.
00:01:08I have no idea what you do to me, okay?
00:01:10Is how you make me feel?
00:01:11You are my favorite song.
00:01:20I lose control.
00:01:22My little moon.
00:01:26I want you, Dax.
00:01:29I need you.
00:01:33Good.
00:01:35And because you're already mine,
00:01:39I'm gonna call you on that stage tonight.
00:01:42I'm gonna sing the song that I wrote to you.
00:01:44And I'm gonna kiss you in front of everybody.
00:01:47I'm gonna claim every inch of you.
00:01:50Note by note.
00:01:52In front of the whole world.
00:02:08Hey, Case.
00:02:10What's with all the secret phone calls?
00:02:13What are you hiding?
00:02:15Nothing. It's just work stuff.
00:02:18Okay.
00:02:20It's time I come clean too.
00:02:23Once he finishes this concert,
00:02:25the echo mask will come off.
00:02:26And I can finally be the real me.
00:02:29His echo and his Casey.
00:02:34You are gonna be my lucky charm tonight, like always.
00:02:49I can't wait to make you my wife.
00:03:00He plays.
00:03:02He plays.
00:03:07Besides the music, he plays.
00:03:09They are about to be mine.
00:03:12I love you.
00:03:12He plays.
00:03:13I love you.
00:03:13But I know it's better than an actor.
00:03:14I know it's better than an actor.
00:03:15And I am.
00:03:15I need champagne.
00:03:16The Spain.
00:03:24And now, for the star of our show, the world's hottest pop star, and my soulmate, Dexter
00:03:33Hayes!
00:03:36Wait for me, right here?
00:03:41Dexter Hayes is my ticket to the top of the charts, but I'll never lock him down as long
00:03:46as he's in bed with his frumpiest sister.
00:03:49A lot of applause for Scarlet Heart, everybody!
00:03:55Fans already love us.
00:03:56Dexter Hayes, you will be mine.
00:04:00Scarlet Heart.
00:04:01Dexter Hayes' groupie-turned-wannabe pop queen.
00:04:04She's always throwing herself at my boyfriend.
00:04:07Maybe once he puts a ring on it tonight, she'll finally take the hint.
00:04:12I've got a really special one for y'all tonight.
00:04:14Hope you enjoy.
00:04:16Dexter Hayes!
00:04:16Dexter Hayes!
00:04:19Dexter Hayes!
00:04:20Dexter Hayes!
00:04:22Dexter Hayes!
00:04:25Shit!
00:04:26The backing mix is corrupted.
00:04:28I can't let Dexter's show get ruined.
00:04:30Echo can fix this.
00:04:34Are you here?
00:04:36I need your help.
00:04:39What the hell is she up to?
00:04:44Well, I guess the system couldn't handle all of our energy and good vibes, so I'll be back.
00:04:54There, your gear from the studio, or should I say Echo's gear?
00:04:59Dad, we've talked about this.
00:05:01In public, I am not your daughter, and I'm not Echo.
00:05:04But Dexter should know how hard you've worked for him.
00:05:07You made him the star he is.
00:05:10I'm telling him tonight, but for now, I have a tractor remix.
00:05:15Oh, that's my girl.
00:05:19When Dexter sees this, he'll dump that little cheater and run straight into my arms.
00:05:42Oh, my God.
00:05:43These are the arrangements of all of Dexter's hit songs.
00:05:46Is Casey... Echo?
00:05:49Echo?
00:05:50Echo?
00:05:57Time to save Dexter's concert.
00:05:59Play Dexter!
00:06:00Play Dexter!
00:06:02God, where's Casey?
00:06:03She said she'd stay right here.
00:06:04Play Dexter!
00:06:05The show is a disaster.
00:06:06The fans are waiting.
00:06:07Can you please find her?
00:06:08I need her.
00:06:09No, Dexter.
00:06:11I'm the one you need.
00:06:12What?
00:06:21This is Echo's North.
00:06:25Are you her?
00:06:27Are you her?
00:06:32Listen, can you please save this song?
00:06:35I already did.
00:06:38Wait.
00:06:40Dexter, there's one more thing I should probably show you.
00:06:46Casey has been hiding another man.
00:06:54All those secret phone calls, dodged questions.
00:06:57Casey was cheating on me this whole time?
00:07:00Dexter, I'm so sorry.
00:07:02I would never, never do this to you.
00:07:07Thanks.
00:07:15Wait, didn't Echo just mix a new track?
00:07:19Uh, and we're back.
00:07:20Well, I, uh, I wrote this song for the love of my life.
00:07:26At least I thought so.
00:07:35Get ready, Dex.
00:07:37The next, your next big single is coming to you in three, two, one.
00:07:44I'm a man as I am.
00:07:52I'm a man.
00:08:03Every time I look, I remember the time I saw you.
00:08:08One thing to remember about
00:08:12The time I looked into your eye
00:08:15The secret feeling again
00:08:17I know I was running out of time
00:08:55I was running out of time
00:08:59I was running out of time
00:09:04I was running out of time
00:09:10How could Casey do this to me?
00:09:17Everyone, give it up for Dexter Hayes!
00:09:32He promised he'd call me up on stage to announce our relationship.
00:09:37I loved her and she betrayed me.
00:09:51Oh my god!
00:09:52Dexie!
00:09:53Oh my god, is he proposing to Scarlet Heart?
00:09:57Yes!
00:10:01Oh my god!
00:10:03Dexie!
00:10:04Yes!
00:10:06Tonight was supposed to be the start of our new life together.
00:10:10I thought Dexter loved me, trusted me.
00:10:15No, I never wanted to propose to Scarlet, but she made my career and Casey betrayed me.
00:10:25It was all a lie.
00:10:28Alright, I can play along with his engagement and I can move on from the woman who broke my heart.
00:10:42Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:45Hey, uh, Casey.
00:10:54You promised me that you'd tell the world about us tonight, but instead you propose and put a ring on
00:11:05Scarlet Heart's finger?
00:11:07Casey, you gave me no choice.
00:11:10I gave you everything.
00:11:14I loved you.
00:11:15Do you love her?
00:11:17I owe her.
00:11:19Okay?
00:11:20I owe her.
00:11:21Alright, I don't-
00:11:22You owe her?
00:11:24Scarlet Heart is just some talentless industry plant.
00:11:28What has she ever done for you?
00:11:30Scarlet produced my career.
00:11:32She made me who I am today.
00:11:34Okay?
00:11:35So, so, so that's why.
00:11:37What are you talking about?
00:11:40Scarlet is Echo.
00:11:47You think Scarlet Heart is Echo?
00:11:52Well, I know she is.
00:11:53You know what?
00:11:54I'll never be able to thank her enough for everything she's done for me.
00:11:58And I feel like this is a good start.
00:12:03How could you believe her lies?
00:12:05Come on, all you do is lie.
00:12:09You know, I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:12:12Is this what you wanted all along?
00:12:14To be a music industry power couple?
00:12:18To please your adoring fans to boost your sales?
00:12:22He could have had that with me.
00:12:25This is all you ever really cared about.
00:12:28Isn't it?
00:12:31Not loyalty.
00:12:33Just...
00:12:34Your music.
00:12:36What do you know about Dexter's music?
00:12:41This is my notebook.
00:12:44Full of songs that I wrote for Dexter's first little platinum album.
00:12:49That's my notebook.
00:12:50How did Scarlet get her hands on it?
00:12:52I'm a musical genius.
00:12:55And you're just Dexter's little errand girl.
00:12:58Get back!
00:13:00Dexter, she cut me!
00:13:02See what has gotten into you?
00:13:04I don't...
00:13:05I don't know who you are anymore.
00:13:07Dexy, baby.
00:13:09I know all about girls like her.
00:13:11They want fame and money without really ever having to work for it.
00:13:15She's taking advantage of you.
00:13:17She has been for years.
00:13:19Dexter, you can't seriously be believing this.
00:13:23Scarlet is not Echo!
00:13:24No!
00:13:24Then tell me why I shouldn't.
00:13:26Okay?
00:13:27Why shouldn't I believe her?
00:13:31Go wait in the car.
00:13:32Please.
00:13:38Casey.
00:13:43Look, I know that you've been hiding things.
00:13:46So please just...
00:13:47Just tell me the truth.
00:13:49Okay, right now.
00:13:50Or we'll lose us forever.
00:13:57Please.
00:13:58Please.
00:14:07The truth doesn't matter anymore.
00:14:10You don't trust me anyway.
00:14:16We're over.
00:14:19Dex.
00:14:22Goodbye.
00:14:23Forever.
00:14:43The hottest rock star on the planet is officially off the market.
00:14:48Dexter Hayes popped the question to up and coming singer Scarlet Hart tonight and she said yes.
00:14:59Dad.
00:15:01I gave Dex everything.
00:15:03I made his career, but...
00:15:05He doesn't want me.
00:15:07He never did.
00:15:08What happened, Princess?
00:15:10Scarlet Hart.
00:15:11She stole him and now she's trying to steal my identity.
00:15:16I'll come get you.
00:15:21Casey.
00:15:22Casey, where are you?
00:15:28I'm sorry.
00:15:32It looks like Dexter's whore is awake.
00:15:35Let's see how his future wife feels about you seducing her man.
00:15:40Who are you?
00:15:42Let me go.
00:15:43No.
00:15:43Don't worry, Scarlet.
00:15:44We won't hurt you.
00:15:46We're your friends too.
00:15:48We've only shipped Dexter Hayes and Scarlet Hart.
00:15:51We're just trying to teach this filthy skink a lesson.
00:15:55We saw you kissing Dexter backstage.
00:15:59We're trying to steal him from his soulmate.
00:16:02I wasn't stealing him.
00:16:05We were in love.
00:16:06Or I thought we were.
00:16:09We'll see about that, won't we?
00:16:11The only way you'll live tonight is if Dexter chooses to save you.
00:16:22Who the hell is everybody?
00:16:26Dressing room.
00:16:28Come alone.
00:16:29Choose to save Scarlet Hart and we'll spare them.
00:16:32Choose your little assistant and they both die.
00:16:37You've reached Casey.
00:16:38I can't come to the phone right now.
00:16:41Where the hell is my daughter?
00:16:45Casey?
00:16:46So she never left the concert.
00:16:47Get back to the concert hall now.
00:16:50Dexter is coming.
00:16:52We'll see who his true love is.
00:16:55You psychos!
00:16:57Are you hoping that he chooses you over his fiancee?
00:17:02Obviously not.
00:17:04She's just some nobody who slept with him to break into the industry.
00:17:08You fucked him too?
00:17:10God.
00:17:11Our precious Dexter.
00:17:13Soiled by a dirty star fucker.
00:17:17Girls like you don't deserve him.
00:17:18You don't deserve to live.
00:17:21No one knows what the real Echo looks like.
00:17:24So, if Casey dies, then the truth dies with her.
00:17:28That's not true!
00:17:30First you steal my identity, now you're trying to get me murdered?
00:17:34You're psychotic!
00:17:35No, don't worry Casey.
00:17:37If you die today, Dex and I will make a song about you and maybe it'll even be the lead
00:17:41single on our new album.
00:17:44You're crazier than they are.
00:17:46Who are you calling crazy?
00:17:52Casey!
00:17:53Dexter!
00:17:59Dexter!
00:18:00Casey!
00:18:01Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter!
00:18:03Dexter help me!
00:18:05They hit me and then they tied me up and now they're trying to kill me!
00:18:10Okay guys, let's...
00:18:11Let's just put the guns down, okay?
00:18:14We can't do that Dexter!
00:18:17We're your biggest fans!
00:18:19We're doing this for you!
00:18:21Okay, well if you love me, alright?
00:18:24You'll put the gun down and then let these two go, please.
00:18:27No, that's not how this works!
00:18:29Dexie!
00:18:30You would be nothing without Echo!
00:18:33We're engaged now, you can't let me die!
00:18:36Dex, all the love we ever had, all the memories, all the I love you's you told me,
00:18:42did they mean anything?
00:18:44You must choose one to live.
00:18:47Will it be your future wife?
00:18:50Or your mistress?
00:18:52Who really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:18:56They said if I told you Scarlet, then they'd both die.
00:18:59I can save Casey, but I...
00:19:01I have to break her heart.
00:19:03Which one really holds the key to your heart, Dexter Hayes?
00:19:12You never really loved me, did you?
00:19:15And you loved him?
00:19:17You leeched off him for half a decade!
00:19:20If that's what you really think, Dex...
00:19:23Go ahead, make your choice!
00:19:25Choose now or they both die!
00:19:26Dexter, Dexter, please!
00:19:29Think of everything I've done for you!
00:19:31You...
00:19:31You dumped her!
00:19:32You chose me!
00:19:33Don't let them murder me!
00:19:35That's enough!
00:19:36We're pulling the trigger in 3...
00:19:402...
00:19:411...
00:19:41Okay, okay, okay!
00:19:42I can't risk them killing Casey.
00:19:45Scarlet, alright?
00:19:46I choose Scarlet.
00:19:52Dexter, I'm gonna faint!
00:19:55I was so scared.
00:19:56He chose Scarlet?
00:19:58Good choice.
00:19:59Cheating whores deserve to die.
00:20:02Now wait a minute, you told me that...
00:20:03You made your choice, Dexter Hayes.
00:20:06Now you get to be the one who saved your soulmate.
00:20:09And we'll take care of your scandalous side piece.
00:20:12No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:20:19I guess...
00:20:20This is the end.
00:20:26Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:29Put the gun down!
00:20:31Put the gun down!
00:20:33Goodbye, Dexter.
00:20:35Hey, drop the gun!
00:20:45Let's go! Let's go!
00:20:48Okay, okay.
00:20:50Okay.
00:20:55It's gonna be okay.
00:20:57Okay?
00:20:58You left me to die!
00:21:00And for the record, I never needed your money!
00:21:03I mean...
00:21:03I was right to walk away!
00:21:05Staying with you was the biggest mistake I've ever made!
00:21:09Look, Casey.
00:21:10You don't understand, alright?
00:21:11They were gonna make me...
00:21:13I'm...
00:21:13Done.
00:21:14Living in your shadow, Dex.
00:21:17Goodbye.
00:21:22Casey, Casey.
00:21:24Hey.
00:21:32Casey.
00:21:33Casey.
00:21:34Casey, stop!
00:21:34Please, stop!
00:21:35Please, please, please.
00:21:36We're gonna come...
00:21:37Okay, what are you gonna do without all this?
00:21:39You should be asking yourself that same question!
00:21:42Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:21:45You're delusional.
00:21:46He doesn't need you.
00:21:48He has Echo.
00:21:49Yeah.
00:21:50Sure he does.
00:21:52Fame really has changed you, Dexter Hayes.
00:21:58Fame changed me?
00:22:01Okay.
00:22:02And what about you?
00:22:03You're the one that's been sneaking around behind my back this whole time.
00:22:08I never betrayed you how you betrayed me by putting that ring on Scarlet's finger!
00:22:14You chose her and you left me for dead!
00:22:18No.
00:22:18Casey, you don't understand, I was trying to...
00:22:45Oh my god, that's, that's, that's Ed Reed, the CEO of Reed Records!
00:22:51So sorry I didn't come sooner, baby girl.
00:22:55You're here now.
00:22:57Take me home.
00:23:08Okay, you don't know if anybody has any solution.
00:23:10Pass my engineers toToMonkeyer and they're checking it out!
00:23:12Follow me and scan!
00:23:12We've sent you to remove our company before they keeisashefie you楽!
00:23:12Oh, shut up!
00:23:13Oh shut up!
00:23:13Oh, shut up!
00:23:14Oh shut up!
00:23:15Oh shut up!
00:23:16You have everything you want!
00:23:18Oh shut up!
00:23:19Oh shut up!
00:23:20Caval, siete, oh変…
00:23:24Nolamat, you don't understand, I don't know!
00:23:28Here's my killer, you do!
00:23:28It'sλα He's dead!
00:23:29You do it!
00:23:31K-shake, K-shake.
00:23:34Let me explain!
00:23:39Scarlett.
00:23:39Mrs. Hayes, you should have seen it. I almost died.
00:23:43And that desperate skank cheated on Dexter with some sugar daddy.
00:23:48I always knew she was a gold digger.
00:23:51She tried to trap Dexter first.
00:23:53Then when that failed, she went after the CEO of the biggest music label in the world.
00:23:59Dexter, she never cared about you.
00:24:01She's been lying to you this entire time.
00:24:03All she ever cared about was money and power.
00:24:06I thought Casey loved me.
00:24:08But the whole time, she was in bed with the CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:18Forget him, Princess.
00:24:20You are much too talented to be running some rockstar errands.
00:24:24How could I be so blind?
00:24:29Three days from now, at the annual Music Hall of Fame Gala,
00:24:32announcing you as the new CEO of Reed Records.
00:24:36And my daughter, the heiress to my empire.
00:24:40It's time to show the world who you really are.
00:24:51My back is pressed.
00:24:59My back is pressed.
00:25:06My back is pressed.
00:25:15The damn thing is in the wrong key.
00:25:18Look guys, we have one week, alright, to finish this song before the release.
00:25:23The Echo that I know can put together a perfect studio mix in hours.
00:25:27You can't even fix a simple beat?
00:25:30Or a key?
00:25:31What's going on?
00:25:33Look, Scarlet, I just gotta ask.
00:25:36Are you really, Echo?
00:25:41Are you really, Echo?
00:25:47Dexy, of course I am.
00:25:50It's just, your new assistant.
00:25:53He's been messing, he's messing with my tracks.
00:25:55He's obviously trying to sabotage our new album.
00:25:58I mean, look.
00:26:01Last Saved by Max.
00:26:03Yeah, that's because you don't know how to-
00:26:05Okay, you know what?
00:26:06Echo would never put her name on garbage like this.
00:26:11Mr. Hayes, please, listen.
00:26:13It's Dexter.
00:26:14And I'm sorry, but my last assistant would've never screwed me over like that.
00:26:20You're fired.
00:26:27See it again.
00:26:43Good luck staying at the top of the charts once I'm gone.
00:26:47Writing love songs used to be so easy with Casey here.
00:27:03We're sorry.
00:27:04You have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
00:27:09All right, she broke my heart and she moved on.
00:27:13So why can't I do the same?
00:27:33Look what we just got.
00:27:34An invitation to the biggest industry event of the year.
00:27:38The Reed Records Music Hall of Fame Gala.
00:27:47Look, I'm not interested.
00:27:49Okay, we have a song to finish.
00:27:51Dexter.
00:27:52You said it yourself.
00:27:53They can lay down a track in hours.
00:27:55We have to go.
00:27:56This is a personal invitation from Mr. Ed Reed himself.
00:28:02Okay, look, I know what you're thinking, but Casey probably meant nothing to him.
00:28:08He's a billionaire record executive.
00:28:10I'm sure he has a whole roster of scorned assistants lining up to get on their knees and work for
00:28:14a few extra bucks.
00:28:15You have to go and you have to impress him, okay?
00:28:19He could make or break our careers.
00:28:22Okay, I guess you're right.
00:28:24Of course I am.
00:28:26We are the industry's it couple.
00:28:30So now, forget about that stupid little assistant of yours and start getting ready.
00:28:35I mean, what was so special about her anyway?
00:28:38Her coarse, tangled hair, or her dull, crusty skin, or maybe those hideous, god-awful clothes?
00:28:52I'm Echo, I'm the Reed heiress, and I'm taking back everything that's mine.
00:29:07How does it feel to be at the event of the year as the industry's new it couple?
00:29:12We're honored, and with Reed Records on our side, our album is sure to be the number one hit of
00:29:16the decade.
00:29:17Are you excited to meet this mysterious new CEO of Reed Records?
00:29:22I hear Ed Reed is introducing the whole world to his daughter, the heiress to the Reed fortune.
00:29:28Do you think she's gonna be the new CEO?
00:29:30I don't know, who is this mysterious Harris?
00:29:33She is Ed Reed's daughter.
00:29:35I'll bet she'll be making a very splashy entrance.
00:29:38Whoever she is, we need to impress her, okay?
00:29:40She could be our ticket to a number one album.
00:29:42Look, here she is now!
00:29:54No fucking way!
00:29:58Let's go.
00:30:11Nice.
00:30:20Casey?
00:30:25Casey?
00:30:26Hey, Dex. Long time no see.
00:30:32Dex has already moved on with Scarlet.
00:30:34I should be happy walking away from him.
00:30:37So, why does my heart still ache?
00:30:43I'm sorry.
00:30:44I'm sorry.
00:30:52I'm sorry.
00:30:54I'm sorry.
00:30:56Ignore her.
00:30:57And instead, focus on kissing up to Ed Reed so he introduces us to the new CEO.
00:31:02You should listen to her, Dexter.
00:31:04All we need to do is get on their good side and our album will go straight to number one.
00:31:09She's right.
00:31:10I have to impress Ed Reed and this new CEO if I want our album to be a hit.
00:31:23Hmm.
00:31:32Scarlet, what a terrible surprise.
00:31:34I should have known you'd sneak in here hunting for your next sugar daddy.
00:31:37But this party is for the elite of the music industry only.
00:31:41I suggest you wait on the street corner with the other hookers.
00:31:44Hmm.
00:31:44But the party's just getting started.
00:31:46I can't miss the big announcement.
00:31:51Why?
00:31:53So you can seduce the new CEO of Reed Records too?
00:31:56I hear he's much more selective than Ed Reed so don't expect him to look at you twice.
00:32:02And don't distract Dexter tonight.
00:32:04Leave or I will have security escort you out.
00:32:06I'd love to see you try.
00:32:12Jealous?
00:32:13I loved him and those feelings don't just go away.
00:32:17How could she change his mind so easily?
00:32:21You can dress up all you want.
00:32:25But you will always just be Dexter's lowly little errant girl.
00:32:30I thought she was someone important.
00:32:32She's just a desperate assistant playing dress up.
00:32:36Imagine getting dragged by the scarlet heart.
00:32:39I would never emotionally recover.
00:32:40Where do you think she got the jewels though?
00:32:42Probably out whoring herself to old men.
00:32:45Just like all those desperate social climbers in our industry.
00:32:49Hmm.
00:32:50They got that right.
00:32:51Hmm.
00:32:52Is that so?
00:32:54Tell me something, Scarlet.
00:32:56Is it really me?
00:32:58Who's putting on an actor?
00:33:02Is it you?
00:33:04How dare you?
00:33:08Careful.
00:33:09The new CEO might be watching.
00:33:11Yeah.
00:33:13You think you're hot shit just because you're the real Echo.
00:33:16You may have the talent, but you have no money and no connections besides the ones you make in pay
00:33:21-by-the-hour hotel rooms.
00:33:22But me, I'm a beloved up-and-coming pop star.
00:33:26And if you so much as threaten me or my career ever again, I will get you cancelled so fucking
00:33:32hard your grandchildren won't be able to show their faces in public.
00:33:37Mr. Reed.
00:33:38Hi, Dexter Hayes.
00:33:39Thank you so much for the invite.
00:33:42Um, you've always been a true hero of mine.
00:33:45Well, I would really love to put that, um, well, that incident with my assistant behind us.
00:33:51Oh, Dexter Hayes, of course I can.
00:33:54Got you.
00:33:56Oh, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes the assistant he rejected is my
00:34:01daughter.
00:34:02Yeah, the heiress to the Reed record's fortune.
00:34:05Well, you know, sir, um, well, you may or may not have heard about, uh, the record that Scarlet Heart
00:34:10and I are, uh, working on.
00:34:12I really think that between my lyrics and, well, her producing and your musical genius over the last many decades,
00:34:19I think we could really make something special.
00:34:21Yeah.
00:34:21Well, you make a compelling point.
00:34:25And, you know, if it's not too much, it actually might be helpful for the record.
00:34:28Well, maybe if you could put in a good word with, uh, the new CEO, I, I, well, that would
00:34:33make me forever, forever grateful.
00:34:36Why don't you put in a good word yourself?
00:34:38The new CEO is already here.
00:34:52Casey.
00:34:53Casey.
00:34:54Casey.
00:34:55Casey.
00:34:58Uh, I've, I've been trying to call you the last few days.
00:35:02And, well, I guess I'm just surprised that instead you just showed up here.
00:35:07I hated myself for wanting to pick up the phone, for wanting to hear his voice again.
00:35:12But after what he did to me, I couldn't give him the satisfaction.
00:35:17Oh, you've been calling me for the last few days.
00:35:20What, you missed me already?
00:35:22Did Ed Reed bring Casey as his date?
00:35:25This event is invite only.
00:35:30Yeah.
00:35:31Dang, I guess I left my invite at home, but I think I'm gonna stay.
00:35:36You know, Scarlet, on the other hand, though, has been throwing around nothing but vile slander and empty accusations all
00:35:43night.
00:35:43If anyone needs to go, it should be her.
00:35:46Unless you want me to expose your lies to Dexter right here, right now.
00:35:50Yeah, right.
00:35:52The only ones who can remove me are Mr. Reed himself or the new CEO.
00:35:56You have no power here.
00:35:58Okay, guys.
00:36:00Ed Reed and this new CEO are about to announce our new album.
00:36:04Can we have this conversation later?
00:36:06Aw, Dex.
00:36:08You forgot to say please.
00:36:13Wait, Casey.
00:36:19Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to announce tonight's special guest.
00:36:28Reed Records is the number one largest music label in the world.
00:36:34But tonight, I want to introduce you to someone who's more precious to me than any company.
00:36:40Someone who grew up listening to me play piano.
00:36:42Who has written hundreds of songs and never put her name on one of them.
00:36:47Because she never wanted to gain fame through mine.
00:36:52No more secrets, Dexter Hayes.
00:36:54It's time you finally learned who you really rejected.
00:36:58Mr. Reed is looking right at us.
00:37:00He's gonna call us on stage.
00:37:02Alright, this is it.
00:37:04He's gonna announce that he's signed us to Reed Records.
00:37:06I want to introduce the heir to my billion dollar music empire.
00:37:12The new CEO of Reed Records.
00:37:14My princess.
00:37:16My princess.
00:37:17And the light of my life.
00:37:19My daughter.
00:37:21Casey Reed.
00:37:26What?
00:37:32No.
00:37:40Casey.
00:37:56That's the Reed heiress?
00:37:58Holy shit.
00:37:59She's not a sugar baby.
00:38:01She's the daughter of billionaire music royalty.
00:38:04Scarlet Heart is delusional.
00:38:06Insulting the new CEO of Reed Records to her face?
00:38:10She just committed career suicide.
00:38:12Mr. Reed, your gift.
00:38:13For the lady of the hour.
00:38:16Ugh.
00:38:16That's millions of dollars of gold.
00:38:19Dad.
00:38:20This is too much.
00:38:21Well, something from your old man.
00:38:23And now Dexter will see that you're worth more than your weight in gold.
00:38:26This cannot be happening.
00:38:28She's a nobody.
00:38:32I knew Casey was keeping secrets from me, but I didn't know she was hiding who she was.
00:38:37Ed Reed was never her sugar daddy.
00:38:39He was her father.
00:38:41This whole time she was with me for love, not fame.
00:38:44She tried to tell me the truth, and instead of trusting her, I left her for another woman.
00:38:50How could I be so blind?
00:38:58What suits you?
00:39:00Uh, the, um, guitar and, uh, CEO title.
00:39:05Why can't you just say you miss me?
00:39:07Casey, look, I just...
00:39:15I just... I still miss you.
00:39:23I still miss you.
00:39:32Shouldn't you be licking your fiancé's wounds?
00:39:36Knowing she just insulted the CEO of the most powerful music company has got to hurt.
00:39:41But I mean, you of all people should know.
00:39:44Please, you have to believe me, okay? If you just let me explain...
00:39:47Explain what, Dexter? Why you want me back? After finding out I'm your boss?
00:39:53Or leaving me for Echo?
00:39:57No, no, look, that's not why I'm here. If you just let me tell you, I...
00:40:03I mean, come on, Casey. I mean, you gotta understand. You're the one who lied to me.
00:40:08I lied?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09And what would you call getting engaged to Scarlet after promising to put a ring on my finger?
00:40:13I didn't want any of that to happen. You have to believe me, please. I was just trying to...
00:40:20Look, I...
00:40:21Just tell me one thing, okay? I guess, why are you here? Are you here just...
00:40:24Is this just some royal way to get revenge?
00:40:27Tank my career?
00:40:31Oh, tank your career. I made his career.
00:40:36I loved you, Dexter. You might have found out who my father is today, but you still have no idea
00:40:41who I am.
00:40:43Wait.
00:40:47This... This is why you proposed to Scarlet, isn't it? Why you left me for dead.
00:40:55Sucked up to my dad. Threw me to the curb for the fame. The fortune. The fans.
00:41:03No, no, no. Please.
00:41:04No, no, no. Actually, I think it's time to make my first decision as the new CEO.
00:41:11Can I get everyone's attention, please?
00:41:15I hope everyone is having fun.
00:41:17Read Records will be ending its contract with Dexter Hayes and dropping him as an artist.
00:41:29Effective immediately.
00:41:31Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
00:41:37You know, I am so glad I never told you who I really was.
00:41:42Because if I didn't, I might not have ever found out that you don't really love me for me.
00:41:46Casey, none of that is true, okay? None of this. I don't care about that. I've always loved you.
00:41:51Don't bother arguing with her anymore, Dexter.
00:41:54She may be rich, but she's just an arrogant nepo baby with no real talent.
00:41:59Scarlet is Echo. She can produce songs.
00:42:03Wait, wait. Casey!
00:42:03She can get you to the top of the charts with or without Read Records.
00:42:07Dexter, you don't need her. She doesn't understand you like Scarlet does.
00:42:11Okay, mom, mom. Stop. You're my mom, not my manager, all right?
00:42:17I'm done talking about this.
00:42:38I've known you for years. I thought you were stays in...
00:42:48All of those years
00:42:53From their place
00:43:01Made a drive
00:43:04Lost in my eyes
00:43:07I'm still missing you
00:43:11I'm still
00:43:13I'm still
00:43:15I'm still missing you
00:43:24I'm still missing you
00:43:29It's twined
00:43:31Heart and mind
00:43:34I'm still missing you
00:43:42I thought I was clear our relationship is over, Mr. Hayes
00:43:46You're no longer welcome at Reed Records
00:43:48I just came to pick up my equipment
00:43:52Casey's wrong about me
00:43:53I never gave up on us
00:43:55She's got another truth
00:43:57I don't think there's anything left to talk about, Dax
00:44:07Fine
00:44:09Let's not talk
00:44:14What's wrong?
00:44:16Your fiancé not keeping you satisfied
00:44:20I've been doing too much thinking about my former assistant
00:44:29Not anymore
00:44:31I'm your former boss now
00:44:32In fact, here are your termination letters
00:44:40I don't give a fuck
00:44:41About the contract
00:44:42I don't give a shit about my career
00:44:43I just want you
00:44:45And I know that you want me to
00:44:47I don't act like you've forgotten
00:44:51What we had
00:44:53I've been trying to
00:44:54But being this close again
00:44:56It feels
00:44:59Impossible
00:45:00You're a lot like an instrument
00:45:02But you tremble every time we touch
00:45:10I don't care
00:45:11About the fans
00:45:12I don't give a shit about the tabloids
00:45:14I don't care what the rec labels have to say
00:45:16If you tell me
00:45:17That you want to be with me
00:45:20We'll be together
00:45:25We can tease each other all day
00:45:29Until you finally admit
00:45:31That you
00:45:32Still
00:45:34Love me
00:45:57You're right
00:45:58I am like an instrument
00:46:00The way I let you play me
00:46:02After what you did
00:46:03Why would I trust you ever again?
00:46:05Listen to me
00:46:07I've been trying to tell you
00:46:08I do not want to be with Scarlet
00:46:11Hello?
00:46:12Tell Sasha Silver I'm on my way
00:46:14Thank you
00:46:15Whoa, whoa, whoa
00:46:16Hold on
00:46:16Sasha Silver?
00:46:17I've been telling you for months
00:46:19The guy's a douchebag
00:46:21A douchebag with over a hundred million streams
00:46:24I mean
00:46:25We have a Dexter Hayes-sized Holdafill
00:46:28And he could be the next big thing
00:46:29It's not safe
00:46:30Casey
00:46:30You don't need him
00:46:32No
00:46:32He'll hurt you
00:46:33No, no, no, no, no, no
00:46:33I don't think you
00:46:35Of all people
00:46:36Get to tell me what I need
00:46:38Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:39Casey
00:46:42Casey has every right
00:46:44To be angry with me
00:46:45After what I did
00:46:46I have to prove
00:46:47She can trust me again
00:47:00Perfect timing
00:47:00Make yourself comfortable
00:47:02Thank you for meeting me on such short notice
00:47:04Sasha generally doesn't like women who speak too much
00:47:08I've made an exception for you
00:47:09Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?
00:47:13I don't know what that means
00:47:15But
00:47:17You want to hear one of Sasha's demos?
00:47:18They're a big hit online
00:47:20I'm very excited about a potential partnership
00:47:22Well
00:47:24I heard you'd be blown away
00:47:27Actually
00:47:28I was hoping for a live performance if you don't mind
00:47:30So many musicians out there faking their music with AI, you know?
00:47:33Of course
00:47:36But
00:47:37You're not in a hurry
00:47:38Why don't we toast first
00:47:39To this potential partnership?
00:47:58Shall we?
00:47:59How can I resist?
00:48:01I do love straight vodka
00:48:09But you know what I
00:48:11Actually
00:48:13Love even more than that?
00:48:16What's that?
00:48:17Exposing
00:48:19Asshole pervs
00:48:20My hair
00:48:21What the fuck?
00:48:23You really think you can drug me?
00:48:25And then what?
00:48:26Force me to sign you to read records?
00:48:28Now you know who you're dealing with
00:48:31Not so fast
00:48:33You thought you could just walk in here
00:48:34And demand a live performance from thee, Sasha Silver?
00:48:37Do I look like a little bitch to you?
00:48:40Absolutely
00:48:40And a fraud
00:48:44I'll be sure no label will ever sign you
00:48:47No matter how talented you are
00:48:50I want me to label to sign me
00:48:52Not when I get read records
00:48:54Or myself
00:48:57I'll be shy Casey
00:48:58I'm just hoping you get ready
00:48:59The paparazzi will be here any minute
00:49:01To see my new mistress
00:49:02He'll plaster our photos
00:49:04All over the tabloids
00:49:06Everyone will see what a slut you are
00:49:07How you slept your way to the top
00:49:11Your poor father
00:49:12He's gonna have no choice
00:49:13We have to hand you and your company over to me
00:49:16You're delusional
00:49:18Stay away from me
00:49:19I'm fine
00:49:20You don't tell Sasha
00:49:21Hey
00:49:23Get your fucking hands off
00:49:25What?
00:49:26I'll break your fucking hands
00:49:28Next door Hayes
00:49:30Are you okay?
00:49:32I'm fine
00:49:37What the fuck Hayes?
00:49:38I could sue you for that
00:49:40I'd love to see you try sweetheart
00:49:42You're just a wash up addict
00:49:44And you do not have a leg to stand on
00:49:47Okay?
00:49:51Okay I'm sorry
00:49:53Jesus
00:49:54We could have produced a sick ass record together
00:49:57You kind of wanted to defend this used up slut
00:50:00I mean what the fuck
00:50:03The name is Casey Reed
00:50:06And she's the future of the industry
00:50:09That you want so badly fucking in
00:50:12Your career is dead
00:50:13Sasha
00:50:14I'm not sure of that
00:50:18Let's go
00:50:25Let's go
00:50:28Give me your hand
00:50:36Casey I've been telling you for months
00:50:38Sasha Silver is little
00:50:40My business is none of your concern
00:50:42If I didn't show up tonight
00:50:44What the hell do you think would have happened?
00:50:46Do you have any idea what he could have done to you?
00:50:47He could have raped you
00:50:48Yes!
00:50:49Okay!
00:50:50I know!
00:50:51Newsflash!
00:50:52I'm not your assistant anymore
00:50:54So it's not your concern
00:50:56Where I am
00:50:57Or what I'm doing
00:50:58Okay?
00:50:59So stop
00:51:02Following me
00:51:06The car is still fucking moving
00:51:10Stop following you
00:51:11The minute that you
00:51:12Stop making stupid
00:51:14Fucking decisions
00:51:16And when I've made it for all the danger
00:51:18I put her in
00:51:21You're way
00:51:23Too interested
00:51:25In my personal life
00:51:27Dex
00:51:27Won't your fiance be jealous?
00:51:34I've been trying to tell you for weeks
00:51:36I did not
00:51:37Want to marry
00:51:40Scarlet
00:51:41You don't fucking listen
00:51:43Now you're really starting to piss me off
00:51:46Isn't that the point?
00:51:57So
00:51:58What am I supposed to do?
00:52:01Pretend she
00:52:02Doesn't exist
00:52:03And be
00:52:04The pop star's
00:52:06Secret side piece again
00:52:10I should push him away
00:52:11But
00:52:12I can't deny
00:52:13How much I miss his touch
00:52:14You were never the side piece
00:52:18And you know it
00:52:28Boss
00:52:29I have news
00:52:31Thank you for your help today
00:52:34Dexter
00:52:36Please
00:52:37Stop following me
00:52:41Or else it's gonna get harder
00:52:43And harder
00:52:44To walk away
00:52:54Great timing
00:52:56As always
00:52:57Why are you even here?
00:52:59Done what you asked
00:52:59News of Sasha Silver's fraudulence
00:53:01And drug abuse
00:53:02Have been leaked to the press
00:53:03No label, studio, or brand
00:53:05Will go anywhere near
00:53:06His net worth plummeted to zero
00:53:08Good
00:53:09Buy all the rice to his music
00:53:13I'm gonna give that to Casey as a gift
00:53:20I heard what happened with Sasha
00:53:21Now that was way too risky, Casey
00:53:23Look, I'm far from Dexter's biggest fan
00:53:26But that could have gotten real ugly
00:53:28If he hadn't shown up
00:53:29I could have handled Sasha
00:53:30There was also a huge leak in the press
00:53:33All of Sasha Silver's
00:53:34Dirty laundry aired out for everyone to see
00:53:36He's been, uh, what do you kids call it?
00:53:39Cancelled
00:53:39Who took him down?
00:53:42Dexter Hayes
00:53:47He even bought the rights to Sasha's music
00:53:50He can't sing anything anywhere
00:53:52Or get sued to hell and back
00:53:54Dex took down Sasha Silver?
00:53:57For me?
00:53:58Maybe
00:53:59He's not as bad as I thought
00:54:01Or maybe he should stop interfering himself with my life
00:54:09The world famous music producer Echo
00:54:11Is set to finally reveal their identity
00:54:13At the legendary Universal Music Awards tomorrow night
00:54:18Scarlet's getting desperate
00:54:19She's trying to convince the world she's Echo
00:54:21Before it can expose her lies
00:54:23She can't keep up the act forever
00:54:25Sooner or later Dexter will realize
00:54:27She can't even hold a tune
00:54:29Much less produce a hit track
00:54:30Scarlet is nothing if she's not Echo
00:54:33She knows Dexter wouldn't look at her twice
00:54:35Let alone marry her
00:54:37If she wasn't pretending to be a genius producer
00:54:40I don't know how she thinks she's going to get away with it
00:54:44I think it's time
00:54:45The world finds out who the real Echo is
00:54:52You want to go to the UMAs as Echo?
00:54:55They've invited me every year and I've always refused
00:54:58I've let this scam go on long enough
00:55:00It's time the world finds out the truth about Scarlet Heart
00:55:03The world
00:55:04Or Dexter
00:55:08This isn't about him
00:55:12He made his bed when he proposed to Scarlet
00:55:14Well my daughter deserves all the recognition of the world
00:55:18But if you're going to go with Echo
00:55:20Oh you're going to do it right
00:55:22With the best equipment money can buy
00:55:24Huh?
00:55:27I want people to see my princess
00:55:29For the queen that she is
00:55:34You're the best dad
00:55:36Mrs. Hayes
00:55:50It's so good to see you again
00:55:54How's Dexter?
00:55:56Engaged
00:55:56Yes, my future daughter-in-law is performing at the Universal Music Awards tomorrow
00:56:02And I'd like to gift her something to mark the occasion
00:56:05So none of these mass-produced guitars
00:56:09She's a musical genius
00:56:10We need something one of a kind just like her
00:56:13Of course
00:56:14I have the perfect gift for her
00:56:16A custom Fender Signature Stratocaster
00:56:25Please don't touch that
00:56:27Those instruments are only for our VIP clientele
00:56:30Yeah, it's you
00:56:32Get this career-sabotaging stalker out of here
00:56:37Excuse me?
00:56:38You're disturbing our VIP customers
00:56:41I have to ask you to leave
00:56:43Now
00:56:48I'm the CEO of Reed Records
00:56:52I have just as much of a right to be here as you
00:56:54Because of your Nepo baby connections
00:56:57We all know money can't buy talent
00:57:00Tell that to Scarlett
00:57:02Excuse me?
00:57:04I am Dexter Hayes' fiancé
00:57:06And creative collaborator
00:57:07And you don't really know anything about music
00:57:10Yeah
00:57:11You're right
00:57:13In that case
00:57:15You should have this
00:57:34Oops
00:57:35Slipped out of my hands
00:57:37My bad
00:57:40Are you insane?
00:57:42You just destroyed a million dollar guitar
00:57:45Security
00:57:46Take this woman away
00:57:48Hold on just one second
00:57:50Dexter Hayes?
00:57:51Oh my god
00:57:54I need to speak to the owner about an offer
00:57:56You need to set that up for me?
00:57:57Yes, of course Mr. Hayes
00:57:59Just kidding
00:58:05It's all yours now
00:58:14Scarlett
00:58:15Scarlett, ignore this wannabe musician
00:58:18We'll find a better option
00:58:25Like this one
00:58:27Beyoncé used this on her last album
00:58:30This instrument is worthy of Echo
00:58:33The genius producer
00:58:35Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:58:37Hey, hey, hey
00:58:37Actually, actually
00:58:38This guitar is no longer available
00:58:41In fact, my entire collection
00:58:43Is on hold for the new owner
00:58:46I'm gonna just
00:58:49My apologies, my apologies
00:58:50Apologies
00:58:51No, no, no, no, no, we saw it first
00:58:55Look, look
00:58:55We just want the one guitar
00:58:57I'm sure we can come to a generous agreement
00:58:59You could pay all you want for the guitar
00:59:01But it's not gonna stop Scarlett
00:59:03From choking on the stage
00:59:09How dare you
00:59:10You little bitch
00:59:17That's enough
00:59:21Hi, Dexie
00:59:24Are you okay?
00:59:26Dexter, she just insulted your Beyoncé
00:59:30You need to do something
00:59:32Mom, do you really want to have a conversation
00:59:34Right here and now
00:59:35About the current status of my engagement?
00:59:38Scarlett's talent as a producer
00:59:40Is the reason you're as famous as you are, Dexter
00:59:43The least you could do is show her a little respect
00:59:48You know what, actually
00:59:50I'm sorry, you're right
00:59:51I should show respect to the one person
00:59:55Who's always been there for me
00:59:58Please ring up the guitar for Miss Hunt
01:00:00I knew you would support me
01:00:02Mr. Hayes, it's not for sale
01:00:05You know, why don't you ask the new owner
01:00:07How much it costs
01:00:08And I'll pay it
01:00:09Whatever it is
01:00:10Right here and now
01:00:12Miss Reed
01:00:13As the new owner of the store
01:00:15How much would you like to charge the guitar for?
01:00:17Wait, what?
01:00:22I'm sorry
01:00:22I'm the new owner?
01:00:26Consider a late birthday gift
01:00:27For my former assistant
01:00:29You did this for me
01:00:32You really think I need a music store?
01:00:35Well, as CEO of Reed Records
01:00:37You probably don't know
01:00:37But I'm someone who cares about you a lot
01:00:40Why the hell not?
01:00:43Dexter!
01:00:44Are you insane?
01:00:46She's not even a real musician
01:00:48And you gave her the entire store?
01:00:51You're gonna make us pay her for a guitar?
01:00:55Oh, it's okay
01:00:56Scarlett can have it for free
01:00:58As long as she shows us the big hit that she's working on
01:01:03Kasey
01:01:05I am not stooping to your level
01:01:06And besides
01:01:07We're late for hair and makeup
01:01:10I will talk to you about this later
01:01:14You will regret this
01:01:16Kasey has done nothing but ruin you
01:01:18She's just a pretty face
01:01:20With no talent to back it up
01:01:22Thanks, Mom
01:01:28Hi
01:01:29One
01:01:29I'm not your assistant anymore
01:01:32It's Miss Reed
01:01:33And I'm the CEO of Reed Records
01:01:36Two
01:01:37My birthday was months ago
01:01:38Actually, the night that you proposed to Scarlett
01:01:41So your gift means nothing
01:01:46Did you know I was actually gonna tell you my secret that night?
01:01:48What's secret?
01:01:53Secret?
01:01:54What are you talking about?
01:01:55What's secret?
01:01:58Should I tell him the truth?
01:02:01No
01:02:01That I wanted to spend every single day of the rest of my life with you
01:02:09But not anymore
01:02:11I don't need you
01:02:23Don't pay attention to anything she just said
01:02:24I want you to get the best equipment and the best instruments
01:02:27To her collection
01:02:29Yes, sir
01:02:31Oh, one more thing
01:02:34She's fired
01:02:37Yes, sir
01:02:38Thank you
01:02:41Dexter, you can't do this
01:02:42I love you
01:02:56Mr. Hayes
01:02:57Ms. Hart
01:02:57You're on in five
01:02:58The broadcast will begin live
01:03:00Thank you
01:03:02Did you hear that?
01:03:04Millions of fans are gonna be hearing your song
01:03:07It's exactly what you deserve
01:03:08The world needs to hear your talent
01:03:12I can't believe I'm about to perform on the Universal Music Awards stage
01:03:17All right, guys, it's time
01:03:18Let's go
01:03:18No
01:03:19Scotland
01:03:34You can't start the show without me
01:03:40I knew you'd make it
01:03:41Of course she did
01:03:42Her daddy probably got her a ticket after she cried about being left out
01:03:45Dexter, Scarlett
01:03:47You know, I'm actually surprised you showed up
01:03:50I thought it would be too painful for you to witness people with actual talent perform when you yourself have
01:03:56none
01:03:58I'm getting a lecture about talent from you
01:04:02Guess we'll see who's real and who's fake tonight
01:04:05Wreck-a-leg, Scarlett
01:04:07Or should I say, Echo
01:04:11Don't choke
01:04:13Hope you don't choke
01:04:35The playback's down
01:04:37The track's gone
01:04:38Completely white
01:04:40You have another version of the track, right?
01:04:46I didn't even make that version
01:04:47I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me to the reject tracks
01:04:50Go fix this
01:04:52Now
01:04:55This is bad
01:04:56All right, everyone's just out there staring at us
01:04:58We're gonna open the broadcast
01:05:00And the label's gonna drop us
01:05:01What are we gonna do?
01:05:04I have an idea
01:05:07You're Echo
01:05:08You're Echo, right?
01:05:18Yes, it's true
01:05:20I'm Echo
01:05:22The award-winning producer
01:05:24And Dexter Hayes' long-time mystery collaborator
01:05:27Then prove it
01:05:29Go ahead
01:05:30Why don't you mix us a live track right here, right now
01:05:33Come on
01:05:34You're a genius producer, right?
01:05:36I mean
01:05:37This is your chance to show off your talents
01:05:39I mean, the whole world is watching
01:05:42I don't know what any of these buttons even do
01:05:45This bitch is trying to sabotage me
01:05:47I must have another file I can play
01:05:49I'll just make it look like I'm mixing in real time
01:05:52Of course
01:05:54Watch me work my magic
01:06:13And that's how it's done
01:06:15Show must go on
01:06:17Nice try
01:06:18Scarlet's proven herself enough
01:06:20You can stop with the gel switch hunt now
01:06:24Okay, can you boost the treble on the EQ in the middle
01:06:27And can you pan from Stacy's left to Stacy's right real quick?
01:06:32Yeah
01:06:39Damn, I guess you're gonna have to do with the old-fashioned way
01:06:42That means recording the instruments live, looping the-
01:06:45Don't listen to her
01:06:47She doesn't know what it takes to make a track of my caliber
01:06:50And this isn't the first time one of Dexter's tracks have been corrupted
01:06:54If I didn't know any better
01:06:55I think you were trying to sabotage the-
01:06:58Scarlet, Scarlet
01:06:59Why would Casey do that?
01:07:00For real
01:07:01Okay, here
01:07:01Here, Echo
01:07:02Okay
01:07:03So, just fix the track
01:07:06Yeah
01:07:08Come on, Echo
01:07:09What, you have performance anxiety?
01:07:19Scarlet, you are our only hope now
01:07:22You have to fix this
01:07:23I could
01:07:24If I had something other than this shoddy
01:07:26Reed Records music equipment to work with
01:07:29Casey, if you're such a genius, why don't you fix it?
01:07:32Oh, I actually would, gladly
01:07:35But it's actually your big night, so
01:07:36Why don't you show everyone the brilliant Echo
01:07:39And how you made Dexter Hayes a superstar
01:07:42Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!
01:07:47Just your Echo, okay?
01:07:50Record some MIDI instruments, lay them down, make a track
01:07:52It's that simple, you know how to do this
01:07:55You really think your fiancé is going to be able to fix this show?
01:07:58I mean, if she goes down, you go down with her
01:08:03Casey shouldn't even be here
01:08:04I can't let her expose me
01:08:06Not when I'm so close to marrying Dexter
01:08:09And becoming a pop legend
01:08:32Is this part of her process?
01:08:34It would take a true genius to make that racket sound like music
01:08:58Oh my god, is Scarlet Heart tone deaf?
01:09:02Come on Echo, show them your talent, keep going
01:09:05Get off the stage, you're ruining the UMAs
01:09:11Alright, look
01:09:14It's done
01:09:15You're really going to give up that easily, Dex?
01:09:18You're going to throw it all away because of Scarlet?
01:09:21Yeah, I am
01:09:22That whole career
01:09:23That I fought for for however, how many years?
01:09:26Yeah
01:09:29Because you know what?
01:09:32Someone that I was close to once told me
01:09:35That there's a lot more to life than just your career
01:09:38And who knows, maybe I can get a cool new gig
01:09:40As a personal assistant for the new CEO of Reed Records
01:09:45Dexter, stop it with those awful jokes
01:09:49Your entire life's work is on the line
01:09:51Mom
01:09:53You heard the track, okay?
01:09:54There's no saving the song
01:09:56Now it's over
01:09:57It's over
01:10:12Well, I guess it's time for the next act of this show
01:10:17No, no, there's no, there's no other
01:10:20Hey, it's time to let a real musician take the stage
01:10:31What the hell do you think you're doing?
01:10:33Mom, mom, stop
01:10:35You heard of Scarlet?
01:10:38I mean, you can stay unless you want to go down
01:10:41As the worst performer in UMA history
01:10:43If I couldn't mix a whole live track
01:10:45What makes you think you could?
01:10:47For one, I know what I'm doing
01:10:50And if you don't?
01:10:52Will you step down as Reed Records' CEO if you fail?
01:10:56Happily
01:10:56Hmm
01:11:00Everyone, we're about to watch the Reed Records' CEO dig her own grave
01:11:04It seems like Echo is having technical difficulties with her track
01:11:09Since we're live, let's make something new
01:11:12Dexter, sing me the first line of your song, just your voice
01:11:16Right now
01:11:16Right now
01:11:23I am not the kind for a show
01:11:34Good
01:11:35It's our love
01:11:36But I still love
01:11:38This morning's got a stage
01:11:44Good
01:11:47Now let's make a hit
01:11:56Let's fucking go
01:12:13Wait, what is she doing?
01:12:16I mean, you produced this, right?
01:12:18Alright, so do you want to go ahead and take over?
01:12:20I-I-I can't
01:12:21I don't have but
01:12:22You don't need anything
01:12:24Except for a band and raw talent
01:12:26I mean, you are a musician, right?
01:12:32Since when has Casey Reed a musical junior?
01:12:34That sounds...
01:12:35That sounds...
01:12:36It's...
01:12:36Familiar
01:12:37I am not the kind for a show
01:12:42This is not a one-time thing
01:12:45Stop!
01:12:46Stop it!
01:12:59Casey...
01:13:01You're Echo
01:13:02Does this mean Casey Reed is Echo?
01:13:06This is my song, she just ripped it off!
01:13:09Who's stealing now, Scarlet?
01:13:11Don't listen to her!
01:13:14I'm Echo!
01:13:17I didn't even make that version
01:13:19I had to pay Taylor Swift's producer to send me one of her reject tracks
01:13:22Go fix this
01:13:26Now everyone knows the truth
01:13:33She's the one that saved the song
01:13:34No, that was me!
01:13:36I already did all the work, she's just taking the credit!
01:13:39I had to mix the track live, Dexter
01:13:42So that makes it my intellectual property
01:13:45You're welcome to put it on your next album, but you're gonna have to pay me for it
01:13:49Where do I sign?
01:13:51I don't think you could afford my fee
01:13:53I think you might just be surprised
01:13:56200 million
01:13:57200 million?
01:14:00For one song?
01:14:01That's more than our entire album deal
01:14:03Are you insane?
01:14:04And, I want my name to be credited
01:14:08Bad deal, Miss Reed
01:14:11And one last thing
01:14:13I want a public apology from Scarlet Heart and Amelia Hayes
01:14:18That's ridiculous!
01:14:19Why should we apologize to you?
01:14:22I mean, you don't have to
01:14:23I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:24I could just go ahead and leave
01:14:24And then Scarlet could finish the album
01:14:26And Dexter's career could crash and burn
01:14:29So...
01:14:29What will it be?
01:14:35The clock is ticking
01:14:38I was wrong about you
01:14:40You saved Dexter's song
01:14:44I'm sorry
01:14:48And you?
01:14:49Do it
01:14:50Do it
01:14:50Apologize to her
01:14:51That bitch!
01:14:53Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:14:55She ruined everything!
01:14:57Come on, let's hear it
01:14:58Tell the world the truth
01:14:59Scarlet
01:15:00Fine!
01:15:01I'm not Echo
01:15:03I pretended
01:15:03And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:06They are happy?
01:15:11I was wrong about you
01:15:13You saved Dexter's song
01:15:16I'm sorry
01:15:20I was wrong about you
01:15:20And you?
01:15:21Do it
01:15:23Apologize to her
01:15:24That bitch!
01:15:25Why do I have to apologize to her?
01:15:27She ruined everything!
01:15:29Come on, let's hear it
01:15:30Tell the world the truth
01:15:31Scarlet
01:15:33Fine!
01:15:34I'm not Echo
01:15:35I pretended
01:15:36And I never wrote or produced any of Dexter's songs
01:15:38They are happy?
01:15:42They are happy?
01:15:45Wait
01:15:46That's not what I really meant
01:15:48Dexter
01:15:49Dexter
01:15:50She manipulated me
01:15:51You're still my fiance
01:15:52You believe
01:15:53Scarlet, you are exactly what we all see you
01:15:56Fucked fraud
01:15:56And you're a damn liar
01:15:58What?
01:15:59Casey
01:16:00Is the one
01:16:01Who built my career
01:16:02Hell, she's the one who saved the damn song
01:16:05She's the only one
01:16:06Who ever cared about me
01:16:08Or loved me
01:16:10Our engagement
01:16:11Is off
01:16:12And so is the record
01:16:40And so is the record
01:16:42I swear it's over
01:16:43I swear it's over
01:16:49You got yourself a DL case
01:16:59Hit it
01:17:04If we're not here for long
01:17:10Tell me where would we belong
01:17:15My back is passed against the wall
01:17:21My back is passed against the wall
01:17:22I need you to know I'm not afraid to fall
01:17:28Your name's on fire in my veins
01:17:32It's burning from my veins
01:17:35It's burning from my chains
01:17:38Who are you to tell me why?
01:17:44Who am I to lie?
01:17:48This mirror shows a thousand phases
01:17:52But none of them can lie
01:18:06But none of them can lie
01:18:16To have me
01:18:18They are.
01:18:20To run
01:18:27They are.
01:18:38I work now.
01:18:40When we came home
01:18:41I am ×’ germ ruby
01:18:46into Pete Miller
01:18:46I miss him
01:18:50Miss Reed, the whole world wants to know,
01:18:53are you the award-winning genius music producer Echo?
01:18:57I think everyone saw the broadcast, and my work speaks for itself.
01:19:01You are a revolution in the music industry,
01:19:03and we can't wait to see what you do next, Echo.
01:19:09You arrogant fucking whore!
01:19:12You ruined everything!
01:19:16Dexter was going to be mine!
01:19:18I was going to be the biggest pop star in the world!
01:19:30But you had to get in my way.
01:19:34That won't happen again.
01:19:36Hey, say!
01:19:37Dex, no!
01:19:39No!
01:19:50Dex, Dex, stay with me!
01:19:51Oh, my God!
01:19:56Hey, hey, hey.
01:19:59You've been here all night.
01:20:02You still love him, don't you?
01:20:05Dexter saved my life, but as soon as I thank him, we can move on.
01:20:11You know, if you say so.
01:20:13But have you stopped and asked yourself why he risked his own life to save you?
01:20:17It doesn't matter now.
01:20:19Things will never return back to how they were before.
01:20:24Casey, Dexter was an absolute idiot for betraying you, okay?
01:20:29But without him, I would have lost my baby girl.
01:20:32And those two songs you two produced together, they made millions believe in love.
01:20:38Your love.
01:20:40Well, they shouldn't have fallen for it.
01:20:41I mean, a love like that burns bright, but it doesn't last forever.
01:20:48Clearly, Dexter never stopped caring about you.
01:20:51Hmm?
01:20:52Maybe your love story isn't over.
01:20:54The other Reed Records executives want Dexter to headline the big festival and sign him to the label again.
01:21:00You know, if our CEO approves.
01:21:08Dexter is sleeping, but you can see him now.
01:21:16Don't be afraid to tell him how you feel, princess.
01:21:35It was a close call.
01:21:37One centimeter to the right.
01:21:39He could have punctured his lung.
01:21:41If Dex couldn't sing anymore, his life might as well be over.
01:21:45Oh, hopefully.
01:21:46He'll recover.
01:21:48But for now, all he need is rest.
01:21:51That's it.
01:21:52Okay?
01:21:53Okay.
01:21:58What is wrong with you, Dexter?
01:22:02How could you do something so stupid?
01:22:06If you don't make it through this, I will never forgive you.
01:22:12Never.
01:22:15Bye.
01:22:21My God, you're beautiful.
01:22:26Why are you still mad at me?
01:22:29I think I have every right to be.
01:22:35Casey, I...
01:22:36Casey, I...
01:22:41I miss you.
01:22:42I miss him, too.
01:22:44But everything we've put each other through, can we really be together again?
01:22:49Dan, you saved my life, and...
01:22:54I will be forever grateful.
01:22:59And in return, I'll give you your song for free.
01:23:02And we can go our separate ways.
01:23:04We can end on a high note.
01:23:09Is that really what you want?
01:23:11To walk away from all this forever?
01:23:20Look, there's something I have to show you.
01:23:22Something I've been trying to show you.
01:23:37That horrible night when I chose Scarlet.
01:23:41I only did it because I had to.
01:23:44They forced you to choose her.
01:23:45I...
01:23:45I was trying to save your life, okay?
01:23:48I would never, ever, ever do that to you.
01:23:51I'd choose you a million times over.
01:23:53And I knew that I'd break your heart.
01:23:55And I knew that I would lose you.
01:23:57And I...
01:23:59But I'd rather risk that than losing your life forever.
01:24:07When I said I loved you, Dexter, I meant it.
01:24:11I don't want to be with anyone else.
01:24:14Me neither.
01:24:18You're my little muse.
01:24:23My pop star.
01:24:29Which...
01:24:29Reminds me...
01:24:32Reed Records would like to formally invite you to headline the Wild Life Festival.
01:24:39The Wild Life Festival is the biggest music stage in the world.
01:24:43You saved their CEO.
01:24:45You deserve it.
01:24:46You're the reason I sing.
01:24:48You're the reason I live.
01:24:50I don't want to songwrite or do any of this if I don't have you.
01:24:53You...
01:24:54You're my world, Casey.
01:24:58I know I've written a lot of songs, okay?
01:25:00I know.
01:25:01But none of them compare to how I feel.
01:25:04I don't want to be with you for just who you are or what you have or any of that
01:25:08stuff.
01:25:09I don't even want to sing or have this career.
01:25:11I'd give it up in a second if it meant just being with you.
01:25:14That's all I need.
01:25:18You do it together.
01:25:23I don't have a sound without you, Dexter Hayes.
01:25:26Okay.
01:25:29I want us to do this together.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:37I love you, too.
01:25:51This is the biggest car I've ever seen in my life.
01:25:55Maybe we better give them one hell of a show.
01:25:59Yes, ma'am.
01:26:01Yes, ma'am.
01:26:09I wrote this song with Casey Reed, who is my echo.
01:26:15But more importantly, she is undoubtedly the love of my life.
01:26:21So, I hope you enjoy.
01:26:44Just live on the world.
01:26:48It will be time I remember to smile like imagine the world we're together.
01:27:07The waves go down.
01:27:11Stuff in the stockings.
01:27:14But I am still walking.
01:27:17But all we do
01:27:20Was the fool who I hated.
01:27:23Now I'm recreating.
01:27:25And every time I look at the moon fall
01:27:30I dream of a night that's lost forever
01:27:36Soon you'll see
01:27:39That it's time for you and me
01:27:44Cause the best of your heart
01:27:48We just let on
01:28:02Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

01:28:29My heart is still breathing
01:28:32Every time I remember to smile
01:28:36I imagine a world where together
01:28:51I know
