Short filmTranscript
00:00Death always wins.
00:03I know this to be true.
00:14That should be more comfortable.
00:19I know.
00:20Sucks, right?
00:22How do you know?
00:24My dad always said so.
00:27Try and get some sleep.
00:34I almost feel bad for the pretty doctor.
00:37But her patient's time is up.
00:48That's why I'm here.
00:51When a human's time comes, the Grim Reaper arrives.
00:57Only we can take a soul on the verge.
01:01And a Reaper's weapon is the kiss of death.
01:14Fear, defeat.
01:16I see it all on their faces.
01:19And nothing is more satisfying to watch.
01:24Starting compressions.
01:26Come on.
01:27Come on.
01:28Stay with me.
01:29Fight.
01:29Come on.
01:30Fight.
01:31Come on.
01:33But when I look at her...
01:38Gabby.
01:39I won't lose her.
01:42I won't lose her.
01:43I see fight.
01:44Defiance like I've ever seen.
01:46Gabby.
01:48Gabby.
01:50Time of death.
01:5110.51.
01:53She isn't afraid.
01:55And that's what makes her dangerous.
02:06Humans are prey.
02:13Each assignment from death is a point of pride.
02:15I look forward to their arrival.
02:21Gabby.
02:24I have never questioned death before, but she is different.
02:29I need to know.
02:31Why her?
02:37I think this chapter on trachs is going to give me an aneurysm.
02:40Well, Milo, the good news is you need a brain to have an aneurysm, so you should be fine.
02:44Well, we can't all be straight-A students like you since kindergarten, so...
02:47Oh, well.
02:48You do have your looks.
02:52How can I help you?
02:54I'm having chest pains.
03:00I can help you right this way?
03:02Yeah.
03:06When did the pain start, Mr...?
03:09Tobias' fate started last night, Dr. Lawson.
03:15I'm not a doctor yet, but I promise you're in good hands.
03:18You can just call me Gabby.
03:20Gabby, how does it come so naturally to you?
03:22My dad.
03:24He passed when I was young.
03:26Had a rare disease.
03:28I'm sorry to hear that.
03:30Is that what made you want to be a doctor?
03:33I'm working to find a cure.
03:36I'm really close to a breakthrough.
03:40You must be destined to.
03:42So that's why death wants to stop her.
03:45Yeah.
03:45Can you lift up your shirt, please?
03:53Cool tattoo.
03:54It's a memento mori.
03:56Symbol of death.
03:58It's Latin, right?
04:01Remember, you must die.
04:06But there's more to the saying.
04:09Memento mori, memento vivere.
04:11Remember to live.
04:16Everything sounds good.
04:18How do you feel?
04:19Better now.
04:21Tonight will not be easy.
04:33Eliza, you cannot keep letting yourself in whenever you want.
04:36Oh, Tobias.
04:38Don't act like you haven't missed me.
04:40A 400-year habit is heartbreak.
04:44I've been craving a real kiss.
04:47Humans keel over so quickly.
04:49I told you last time we're done, okay?
04:53Whatever you say.
04:55But you and I both know how long that usually lasts.
04:59What's going on?
05:01It's nothing.
05:02It's a job.
05:04You know you can still talk to me, Tobias.
05:07When will it be done?
05:09Tonight.
05:10Okay.
05:23May I?
05:24Oh, hi.
05:26It's you.
05:27Tobias, right?
05:29Yeah.
05:30Should I be flattered, Gabby, or do you remember all your patients' names?
05:34I do, actually.
05:36Okay.
05:37Not that you shouldn't be flattered, though.
05:40I don't think there's that much to see in you.
05:42I think under all the cool tattoos, there's a bigger heart than you give yourself credit for.
05:47I can see it.
05:50Isn't it easier to keep people at a distance if you can't save everybody?
05:54You've known death to win.
05:58I don't know.
05:59I think love endures everything.
06:02Even death.
06:08Well, I'm headed that way.
06:11So...
06:11Can I walk you?
06:12No, no, no. It's fine.
06:13You sure?
06:14Yeah.
06:16At least take my umbrella.
06:17I'm good. Thank you, though.
06:19I'm sorry.
06:23For the rain.
06:25I'll be fine.
06:27Um...
06:28Bye, Tobias.
06:30Good luck.
06:43I'm sorry to see you next time.
06:44You got it?
06:53You're not too busy.
06:54I'm good.
06:54You're not too busy.
06:55You're not too busy.
06:55You're not too busy.
06:57You're not too busy.

18:01i just kind of wish things were different
18:05what's stopping you your boss
18:08in a way yeah i used to think i had some kind of power but uh i realized i could
18:15lose it at any
18:15moment and become nothing
18:21device i don't know what you want but whatever it is you should fight for it
18:27yeah i can see why uh you're destined to find that cure
18:31make the impossible sound easy and you have the most beautiful soul of anyone that's ever met
18:43so
19:04Please.
19:21What is your problem?
19:23Sorry, I can explain.
19:24Wait.
19:24You know, I want to believe you're a good guy.
19:26I'm not an idiot.
19:27I'd rather be with someone who actually wants me.
19:29Jesus.
19:30No, wait, wait.
19:30I want to kiss you.
19:32I really do.
19:32I just...
19:34I can't.
19:37Can't.
19:38Okay, wait.
19:39Wait.
19:42Okay, there's something I have to show you.
19:55I really, I do like you.
19:57I really like you.
19:59It's just, I can't kiss you because it would kill you.
20:04What?
20:05Gabby, I'm a grim reaper.
20:09Because if death is hell, we reap souls.
20:14Rape souls.
20:15I know exactly when humans are gonna die.
20:21And in that moment, death sends one of us to end their life with, with our kiss.
20:28Have you had any head trauma lately?
20:30And it changes the medication.
20:31I know it sounds crazy.
20:33And I'm not supposed to show a human any of this.
20:40The first time I saw you, I was only there to reap that woman's soul.
20:45She died at 10.51 p.m.
20:48What is this?
20:51Every card is an assignment from death.
20:55Another soul to reap.
20:57Another life to cut short.
20:59And I, I never questioned that job.
21:00And then I got this.
21:15That night in the rain, the car was meant to hit you.
21:21And I was supposed to let the accident happen and, and end your life.
21:24But I couldn't bring myself to do that.
21:29I'm sorry.
21:30Tobias!
21:36This is why you can't stop yourself from helping people.
21:40This is why, this is why you're destined to find the cure.
21:41This is why death wants you out of the picture.
21:43You're gonna save so many lives.
21:45You're gonna save so many people, Gabby.
21:49That's why you were there.
21:52I was supposed to die.
21:56Okay, wait.
21:56So this entire time, you've been trying to kill me.
22:02Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
22:04I, wait, wait, wait, wait.
22:05Gabby, wait, wait, wait, wait.
22:05No, no.
22:06Get out of my way.
22:07I couldn't hurt you though.
22:08I couldn't, this is really.
22:09No, you tried.
22:10This entire time it was all a trap.
22:12Is my dad's photo filed away in someone's beautiful house like some sort of sick trophy?
22:16Gabby, I'm so sorry.
22:18Fuck you, Tobias.
22:20You're a monster.
22:23I wanted to tell you.
22:34So this is what's got him all wound up.
22:38I'm sorry?
22:39What's so special about you?
22:41What's your pro...
22:42Your tattoo.
22:45You're like Tobias.
22:46Bravo.
22:48You ruined him.
22:50Ruin us.
22:51He's all yours.
22:52He's psycho.
22:53Both of you can leave me to hell alone.
22:56He thinks he can defy death, but death always wins.
23:01And if he won't kill you...
23:03I will.
23:07Gabby.
23:07No.
23:08I'm fine.
23:09I'm fine.
23:11I'm fine.
23:12Leave her alone, Eliza.
23:15Frankly, Tobias, I'm disappointed.
23:17Thought you had better taste.
23:18I think it improved when I left you.
23:20You betrayed death.
23:22And for what?
23:23A human?
23:24You can't seriously believe you have a future with her.
23:27I don't know.
23:27I just know if you touch her again, I'll make you regret it.
23:33You can't protect her every minute of every day.
23:37You will slip up.
23:39And I'll be there.
23:46I'm sorry about Eliza.
23:47I didn't think she'd come for you like that.
23:49Whoa!
23:50Hey, hey, hey.
23:51Gabby, Gabby, Gabby.
23:53Gabby!
23:56Hey, hey, hey, hey!
23:58Gabby!
23:59What the hell happened?
24:00I don't know, I don't know.
24:01She just collapsed.
24:02If I found out you hurt her, I'll fucking kill you.
24:13Milo.
24:14Thank God, you scared the hell out of me.
24:17What happened?
24:19You came in unconscious.
24:21How do you feel?
24:24My brain is made of mush.
24:28How did I get here?
24:31Tobias?
24:37Did he hurt you?
24:40No, I...
24:42I fell.
24:44And hit my head.
24:48I...
24:48I always knew death was everywhere.
24:50I just...
24:53I didn't think it was so close to me.
24:56Are you talking about the car accident?
24:59Yes.
24:59No, I...
25:02I don't know.
25:03Everything is so twisted.
25:06But I don't know what to do.
25:10He...
25:12He...
25:13He wasn't who I thought he was.
25:16It's okay.
25:16I...
25:17I caught you.
25:20I know.
25:28I can't.
25:29I can't.
25:30What's...
25:30What's wrong?
25:31I don't want to lead you more.
25:32Please, lead away.
25:34I don't mind.
25:35I...
25:35I just...
25:38I just need to be alone for a while, okay?
25:41I...
25:41I'm not thinking straight and I need answers.
25:44Answers about what?
25:47Is it him?
25:52You know where to find me?
26:09I'm so close to finding a cure, Dad.
26:16I will if I can survive this.
26:21You always said to follow my heart, but I think my heart must be crazy.
26:29Because I can't stop thinking about him.
26:35Gabby?
26:37He said death wants to stop me now before I can cure my dad's illness.
26:41Anything else I should know?
26:45No, I told you everything.
26:48Look, I have no idea how to stop a murderous Grim Reaper on my own.
26:54But I do know one who, for whatever reason, protected me instead of killing me.
26:59So why did you spare me?
27:03Eliza made it seem like that's unheard of.
27:07That night in the rain, you said I had a heart.
27:12And you see this thing in me that I don't get to see in myself.
27:16And I want to be that man.
27:21And I know I've lied to you a lot, but when I said you had the most beautiful soul, I
27:25meant it.
27:29And when you said you wanted to kiss me, was that true too?
27:35Desperately.
27:40Eliza's right, there's no future for us.
27:45I can keep you safe, I can protect you from her, but...
27:49But you deserve somebody good.
27:54Or at least someone who can kiss you on the lips.
27:56Yes.
28:09You don't have to kiss on the lips.
28:21Yes.
28:22Are you sure?
28:24Yes.
28:28Okay.
28:46Okay.
29:10Oh, my God.
29:19Hello, handsome.
29:22Hey.
29:25Why didn't you buy me a dream?
29:35Well, if tonight was my last night on Earth, I wouldn't want it any other way.
29:39Neither would I.
29:45I'll find a way to make it work.
29:48A human and a reaper will just have to be the first.
29:52I like the sound of that.
29:56I mean, we've made it this far, right?
30:01Death can't always win.
30:05I still don't know what you see in me.
30:11You defied death for me.
30:16When it really mattered, you did the right thing.
30:19You have a good heart to us.
30:22You have a good heart.
30:24But I still haven't.
30:24I hate you.
30:31You have a good heart.
30:39I coach.
31:40Oh my God.
31:46Oh my God.
31:48Oh my God.
31:56What?
31:57Oh my God.
32:05Gabby?
32:07What happened?
32:09I was out drinking and I met this girl.
32:13She must have put something in my drink.
32:14That girl is Eliza.
32:15I think she targeted you because of me.
32:17What?
32:17What?
32:18Come on.
32:19This is gonna sound crazy, but I need you to listen to me, Milo.
32:22Eliza is a grim reaper.
32:23She can kill you with a kiss.
32:26Did someone put something in your drink too?
32:28Come on.
32:28We have to go.
32:29We need to go.
32:30Go?
32:31We're just getting started.
32:43Gabby?
32:47Gabby?
32:48Gabby?
32:56Gabby?
32:58Gabby?
32:59Happy?
33:08Well?
33:08Hi, I'm looking for Gabby Lawson.
33:10No.
33:11Yeah.
33:11She got the night out for her.
33:12That's right.
33:14What's that about Milo? He missed his shift.
33:20Eliza.
33:42No! No!
33:44Are you okay? Did you hear you?
33:45I'm okay. I thought I woke up and you weren't there. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know.
33:50Milo, Tobias, listen. Look at you two.
33:54I told you I'd make you regret it if you touch her.
33:57And I told you I'd find her. I dangled Buddy Boy's life and she came running.
34:07Tobias, wait! I know about the letter!
34:10It changes nothing. You and Milo have to get out of here now.
34:12It changes everything! If I'm not dead by midnight, you'll be gone forever.
34:18Dead by midnight?
34:18One of us has to die and I'm not letting you die for me.
34:22You have to. Just go! Go!
34:24I knew it. Death is punishing you.
34:27Because you disobey. Because you let her live.
34:29I'm not losing her.
34:30You can't sacrifice yourself. She has to die.
34:33If you want her, you go through me.
34:37I have no idea what's going on, but I'm not going to watch you kill yourself.
34:40Get off! Get off!
34:41Get her out!
34:43Tobias!
34:43You've only known her a few days.
34:45You really gave up everything.
34:48For her.
34:48Yes!
34:52Yes!
34:53And if you ever really love me, let me do this.
34:55Please.
34:56Let me save her.
34:57I won't recover.
34:58I won't forgive you.
34:59Please. Just let me do that.
35:00Please.
35:05Please.
35:07Just let me save her.
35:09Eliza, please.
35:22Would you stop?
35:25I want to spend my last minutes with him.
35:28Gabby, this is insane.
35:30I don't care what you think, Myla. This is my choice to make.
35:39You're both crazy.
35:42Do what you want.
35:45I'm not sticking around.
35:46Watch.
35:50Thank you, Eliza.
35:55You better live up to this.
36:08Ila.
36:09Please.
36:10Go.
36:34What's happening?
36:36It's almost time.
36:38No, no.
36:39There has to be some other way we can cheat death.
36:41Think, Tobias.
36:42Think.
36:43No.
36:45Our time's up.
36:47This is...
36:47No, no.
36:48Then let me save you.
36:50You saved me.
36:51You already saved me.
36:53My life was hollow before you walked into it.
36:58You don't get to say that and then expect me to let you go.
37:08No.
37:10Tobias.
37:12Yeah.
37:15Remember when I met you?
37:17I lied.
37:19I faked the chest pains.
37:22I figured that.
37:24Yeah.
37:29I'm okay.
37:30I'm okay.
37:31Don't waste a second in your life worrying about me because...
37:35I won't change a thing.
37:38The only thing I wanted was you.
37:45Tobias, wait.
37:49No.
37:51Tobias.
37:51No, no, no.
37:56No.
37:57I live here.
37:58I live here.
38:17No.
38:20I live here.
38:27No.
38:28I love you.
38:33Tobias! No, Tobias!
38:44No.
39:25No, Tobias!
39:32Love endures everything.
39:36Even death.
39:58Mom, Tobias!
39:59No!
40:01No!
40:04No!
40:20You
