Short filmTranscript
00:12Class, settle down. I have some difficult news.
00:19Silas Brennan died by suicide yesterday evening.
00:26Come again?
00:29You heard me correctly, Mia.
00:32Who's Silas Brennan?
00:35A very important member of this student body.
00:39Mr. Rosedale, I suggest you never speak that way again.
00:44I'd seen the teachers whispering this morning.
00:47I thought it was nothing. A leaked pipe, maybe.
00:52But teachers don't cry over pipes.
00:55Counselors will be available all week.
00:59Please, don't bottle up your feelings.
01:03Remember Silas with kindness.
01:15Mom?
01:17What are you doing home?
01:18I heard about what happened. I thought you might want to talk.
01:22Thanks, but no thanks.
01:23Rhys, it's not safe to bottle this up.
01:26I don't want you to...
01:29I'm not going to kill myself if that's what you're asking.
01:33Then at least see a counselor at school.
01:37Fine.
01:43And mom?
01:45I'm going to the funeral on Thursday.
01:47I figured you would.
01:54A lot can happen in a few minutes.
01:56Like throwing up.
01:59Wes, I'll call you back.
02:01Rhys is leaving.
02:08Are you sure you want to go tonight?
02:11Yes.
02:12Do you want me to come?
02:13No, Dad.
02:14I'm fine going alone.
02:22Were you one of Silas' classmates?
02:25Yeah, yes.
02:26We had English together freshman year.
02:29I'm Diana.
02:30Silas' mother.
02:33Rhys Caldwell.
02:34Caldwell?
02:35Richard Caldwell's daughter?
02:39I didn't know there'd be a celebrity here.
02:42Just a friend.
03:02Did you know my brother, too?
03:05Yeah.
03:07He was pretty cool, huh?
03:10Definitely.
03:12Ivy, mommy says sit down.
03:14Chill out.
03:24It's a bit late for a young girl like yourself to be out, isn't it?
03:32I don't know who you are, but I'm not looking for trouble.
03:36Oh, I know you're not, Rhys Caldwell.
03:42How do you know my name?
03:43I know everything.
03:46Comes with the job.
03:53Stay away from me!
03:54Or you'll what?
03:56Scream?
03:57I'm known by many names.
03:58I'm known by many names.
03:59The Devil.
03:59The Grim Reaper.
04:01Hades.
04:02Azrael.
04:03But for simplicity, call me Death.
04:06You're insane.
04:09Most run by now.
04:10You're unusual, Rhys Caldwell.
04:12Well, let's chat.
04:17You're going to get me killed!
04:19I know when you'll die.
04:21It's not tonight.
04:24I want you to go back in time and save Silas Brennan.
04:28Why me?
04:31You seemed right for the job.
04:33Why 27 days?
04:35Because it took Silas Brennan 27 days to decide how to kill himself.
04:42And if I fail?
04:44You really don't want the answer to that.
04:47Trust me.
04:54I'll do it.
05:01Hey!
05:02You need to wake up!
05:07I-I didn't know I fell asleep.
05:09Whatever.
05:09We're closing.
05:10You need to leave.
05:11What are you doing here?
05:14I work here.
05:16What time is it?
05:17Quarter past 11.
05:19Oh shit, my parents!
05:21Jesus!
05:22Rhys!
05:22Would you shut up?
05:24You know who I am?
05:26Rhys Caldwell.
05:28Junior at JFK.
05:30Daughter of the hotshot lawyer.
05:31We had English freshman year.
05:33You remember that?
05:34How could I forget?
05:37You blush like a lobster every time I looked at you.
06:01Okay, Mortis.
06:03I hear you.
06:14No, no, no!
06:40Mind if I sit?
06:42Yes.
06:46Too bad.
06:48Can you please just give us being friends a shot, Silas?
06:52Fine.
06:53We'll give it a shot.
06:54But you're annoying.
06:56You get on my nerves.
06:57I'm not sure I like you.
06:58Honey, you ain't seen nothing yet.
07:03Take these.
07:04You ate most of them anyway.
07:07Thanks.
07:08I'll steal your food more often.
07:19See you later, Silas.
07:22Stay out of trouble.
07:26One day down.
07:28Twenty-six to go.
07:33Was there a reason you had to ram into me?
07:36Or are you just obsessed?
07:38I am not obsessed.
07:39It's crowded.
07:42Hey.
07:43Wait up.
07:45Let's hang out.
07:48Our friendships just started.
07:50Don't push your luck.
07:51Friends!
07:52Hang out!
07:54I wouldn't know.
07:56I'm not exactly popular.
07:58Then I'll teach you.
07:59Are you in or what?
08:06I hate math.
08:07It makes me throw things.
08:09Show me.
08:11The Pythagorean theorem?
08:13This is the easiest thing in geometry.
08:15I told you I'm bad at math.
08:18All your answers are wrong.
08:23So I plugged 12 and 9 in for B2 and C2.
08:26Finally!
08:27She gets it!
08:29Ow!
08:30Mortis, you sick bastard.
08:33Reese!
08:34It's nothing.
08:35Hit it on the table.
08:41You're not eating lunch with us today, are you?
08:45Tay, it's not you.
08:47There's stuff going on.
08:50Stuff you can share with Silas Brennan, but not me?
08:52You don't even know him.
08:54He's not that bad.
08:56He's empty, Reese.
08:58Do you have a crush on him?
09:00No.
09:01I just... he needs a friend.
09:03And what about me?
09:04I'm your friend!
09:06I am down to 23 days,
09:08and I am losing everything else along the way.
09:15What's your favorite color?
09:18Why?
09:20Friends know things about each other.
09:23Black.
09:24Of course it is.
09:26What do you want, Reese?
09:28To get to know you.
09:32You won't like what you find.
09:35Try me.
09:38Maybe another day.
09:56Reese!
09:57I haven't seen you in a while.
09:59Hi, Brennan.
10:00Diana, Mrs. Please.
10:01Mrs. Brennan makes me feel old.
10:05Is Silas here?
10:06He's at work.
10:07Won't be back for hours.
10:10But you can wait.
10:12Free hot cocoa.
10:20Who are you?
10:21I'm Reese.
10:23I'm friends with your brother.
10:24Silas doesn't have friends.
10:27Are you his girlfriend?
10:29No.
10:31Just friends.
10:33You're pretty.
10:42They like you.
10:43That's rare.
10:45Diana, can I ask something?
10:48Is Silas okay?
10:49Like, really okay?
10:51Why do you ask?
10:52I don't know.
10:53Just a feeling.
10:54He's been through a lot.
10:55His father left.
10:57Money's tight.
10:58He works too hard.
11:00But he's strong.
11:02He's not strong enough.
11:04That's why I'm here.
11:15What are you doing here?
11:17I came to see you.
11:20Why?
11:21Because we're friends.
11:22Walk me home.
11:24I live in the opposite direction.
11:26I'll walk you home then.
11:37Your sisters are adorable.
11:39They're chaos demons.
11:41Same thing.
11:46You smiled.
11:48I did not.
11:51Liar.
11:57Why are you really doing this, Reese?
11:59Maybe I just like you.
12:04Don't.
12:06Don't what?
12:07Don't like me.
12:08It's not a good idea.
12:10Why?
12:12Because I'm not someone you should like.
12:2021 days.
12:24You've been distant lately, Reese.
12:26I'm fine.
12:28Your grades dropped in geometry.
12:31They went up, actually. I have a tutor.
12:33Who?
12:35A friend from school. Silas.
12:38Brennan? The Brennan kid?
12:41You know him?
12:42I know his father.
12:44Or did.
12:45Decent man.
12:46Before he abandoned the family.
12:48Silas is a good person.
12:49I'm sure he is.
12:50Just be careful.
12:52Of what?
12:53Some kids carry too much weight.
12:56It rubs off.
12:57You have to wrackle.
12:59Maybe people just need someone to share the weight with.
13:12Mortis, give me a sign.
13:13Tell me I'm doing this right.
13:23Of course.
13:24The cryptic ghost approach.
13:32Reese?
13:34What are you doing here on Thanksgiving?
13:37My parents are at a charity gala.
13:38I...
13:39I just thought maybe...
13:41Get in here.
13:42We have plenty.
13:48What is she doing here?
13:50Be nice.
13:52She's our guest.
13:53Bees!
13:54Sit by me!
13:55No!
13:56Me!
13:58Me!
13:59Me!
13:59Me!
13:59Me!
14:09What are you thankful for, girls?
14:11Cookies!
14:13Reese!
14:15And you, Silas?
14:17My family.
14:20And...
14:21Maybe one annoying friend.
14:25Yeah!
14:28For coming.
14:29Mom's been...
14:30Lonely.
14:31What about you?
14:35Goodnight, Reese.
14:41Nineteen days.
14:44Look at the freak!
14:46Where's your daddy, Brennan?
14:48Oh, wait.
14:48He doesn't want you.
14:50Kay!
14:53Get off him!
14:55Stay out of this, Caldwell.
14:57Touch him again and I'll have my dad sue your family into the ground.
15:07I didn't need your help.
15:10You're welcome.
15:11I'm serious, Reese.
15:12Stay out of it.
15:14Why?
15:15So you can take it alone?
15:17Yes!
15:18That's exactly what I want!
15:21Why won't you let anyone in?
15:23Because everyone leaves!
15:28That was the most honest thing he's ever said to me.
15:43How did you find me?
15:45Your mom.
15:47Of course.
15:53I'm sorry.
15:57For what?
15:58For pushing.
15:59For not understanding.
16:01My dad left when I was 12.
16:04The girls were two.
16:05Mom worked three jobs.
16:07I started working at 14.
16:08Some days I wonder why I bother.
16:11Silas.
16:13Don't do the pity thing.
16:14I wasn't going to.
16:16I was going to say...
16:18You bother because your sisters love you.
16:20Your mom needs you.
16:22I...
16:23You what?
16:24I need you too.
16:26As my friend.
16:28You barely know me.
16:29I know enough.
16:34Don't make me madder to you, Reese.
16:37I'll just disappoint you.
16:38Too late.
16:53Snowball fight!
16:55Oh, it's on!
17:02This is what I'm fighting for.
17:07Wake up, Caldwell!
17:10Oh, you did not.
17:19Puppy pile!
17:20No!
17:34Well, I'll be.
17:36What's your favorite color, Reese?
17:39You're asking me a question?
17:41Friends know things.
17:42Yellow.
17:43Like sunshine.
17:45That fits.
17:55The studio is perfectly Sort of clean.
17:55Do you want it?
18:13You were hanging?
18:14It just clicked in the way the defender.
18:37What happened?
18:40Mom got laid off today.
18:47I don't know what we're going to do.
18:49Rents do.
18:51The girls need everything.
18:53I can pick up more shifts, but...
18:55Hey, hey.
18:57Look at me.
19:02You're not alone.
19:10I'm so tired, Reese.
19:13I've got you.
19:16I've got you.
19:21I won't lose him.
19:23I won't.
19:28Deanna, I want to host a fundraiser.
19:31A what?
19:33For Mama Rosa.
19:34My dad knows everyone.
19:36We can pack this place, save it, help with rent.
19:39Reese, that's too much.
19:41Please, let me do this.
19:47Why are you so good to us?
19:49Because you are good.
19:50The world should know.
20:00Dad, I need a favor.
20:03What kind of favor?
20:04The kind only you can pull off.
20:09A benefit night for the Brennan family.
20:12Yes.
20:15Reese, why does this matter so much?
20:20Because some people deserve a second chance.
20:23And nobody's giving him one.
20:26I'll make some calls.
20:3114 days.
20:36What's wrong with you?
20:38Nothing.
20:40You look like you're about to explode.
20:42I have a surprise.
20:44I hate surprises.
20:46You'll love this one.
20:57Reese, what is this?
21:00A fundraiser.
21:01For your family.
21:03My dad's bringing every rich client he has.
21:07Diana will have enough for rent for a year.
21:11I don't want your charity.
21:13It's not charity.
21:14It's friends helping friends.
21:16It is charity.
21:18It's pity.
21:19Silas?
21:20I told you not to make me matter to you.
21:31Trouble in paradise?
21:33Not now, Rochelle.
21:37Silas!
21:41Stop being a stubborn jerk!
21:48You don't get it, do you?
21:51My family doesn't use swooping in like some rich savior!
21:55I'm not trying to save you.
21:58Yes, you are!
22:00Ever since you started sitting at my table, you've been looking at me like I'm broken.
22:04Maybe because you are!
22:06I'm sorry.
22:08I didn't mean that...
22:10Yes, you did.
22:13Silas, listen to me.
22:15The fundraiser isn't pity.
22:17Your mom said yes.
22:20Your sisters need this.
22:21You don't get to decide for them out of pride.
22:28Please, just come Saturday.
22:32That's all I ask.
22:34Fine.
22:35But I'm not wearing a suit.
22:39Deal.
23:02You wore a suit.
23:04Mom made me.
23:06You look...
23:08Wow.
23:10You too.
23:13Tonight we celebrate the Brennan family.
23:16A family that has weathered storms with grace.
23:21My daughter Reese taught me something this month.
23:24That sometimes, the most important thing we can do is simply show up for each other.
23:36I don't dance.
23:37Neither do I.
23:39Let's not dance together.
23:50Thank you, Reese.
23:51For what?
23:53For...
23:54not giving up.
24:01Silas, Lily took my cake.
24:04Duty calls.
24:14You changed our lives, Reese.
24:23What's wrong?
24:25Nothing.
24:26Liar.
24:30I had a panic attack last night.
24:32What?
24:33I don't know why.
24:34The benefit went well.
24:35Mom's happy.
24:36Everything's fine.
24:37But I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't breathe.
24:40Silas, have you ever talked to anyone?
24:44Like a doctor?
24:46I can't afford that.
24:49I can.
24:50Reese.
24:51Listen.
24:52There's a free clinic three blocks from here.
24:53I researched it.
24:54They have counselors.
24:55Please, just go once.
24:56For me.
24:57Why do you care so much?
25:00Because you matter.
25:03Okay.
25:03I'll go.
25:05Eleven days.
25:11This is stupid.
25:13It's not.
25:15I'm fine.
25:17Then you can tell them that and leave.
25:21Silas Brennan?
25:25Will you be here when I get out?
25:27I'll be here.
25:42How was it?
25:48Hard.
25:49She thinks I have depression.
25:52She wants me to come back next week.
25:55Will you?
25:57Yeah.
26:01Reese?
26:03Yeah?
26:05I told her about you.
26:07What did you say?
26:09I said, you're the reason I'm here.
26:13I'll always be here.
26:18I used to come here when things got bad.
26:21To think.
26:23Just to think?
26:26Sometimes more than that.
26:32I just thought about it returning.
26:35Silas.
26:36Promise me those thoughts ever come back.
26:37You call me.
26:38Day or night.
26:39You call me.
26:41Reese.
26:42Promise me.
26:44I never did anything.
26:50Why did you find me, Reese?
26:52Out of everyone.
26:53Why me?
26:55Maybe I was supposed to.
27:06Don't cry.
27:08I'm happy.
27:09Nine days.
27:11And I'm in love with him.
27:13Silas, can I tell you something insane?
27:16How insane?
27:18Like, you'll think I'm crazy insane.
27:21Try me.
27:25Never mind.
27:27Reese.
27:28It's nothing.
27:29Just, I'm glad I met you.
27:32I'm glad, too.
27:39Mortis.
27:40I know you're listening.
27:41What happens after day 27?
27:42Does he stay safe, or do I just disappear?
27:49Look who finally remembered me.
27:51What happens to me?
27:53That depends on you.
27:55Tell me!
27:56If you save him, time corrects itself.
27:58You'll keep this life.
27:59Both of you.
28:02And if I fail?
28:03Then 27 days from now, when he dies, you do too.
28:10Good night, Reese Caldwell.
28:23You're staring.
28:25I like staring at you.
28:30Weirdo.
28:34I started medication.
28:36The counselor wrote a prescription.
28:38That's amazing, Silas.
28:40I feel...
28:42lighter.
28:43A little.
28:50I want to take you somewhere tomorrow.
28:53Where?
28:55It's a surprise.
28:56I hate surprises.
28:57Now you know how I felt.
29:05Get a room.
29:08Get a room.
29:19Silas has a girlfriend.
29:23I hate all of you.
29:25I hate all of you.
29:29Seven days, please.
29:31Please let this work.
29:38Open.
29:47Silas.
29:48I know it's not fancy.
29:50I...
29:51worked extra shifts to...
29:54It's perfect.
30:04Reese.
30:06I need to tell you something.
30:09Okay.
30:11A month ago, I was in a really dark place.
30:14I was making plans.
30:16Bad plans.
30:18I had a date in mind.
30:21And then you sat down at my lunch table.
30:24And you wouldn't leave.
30:26And you made me laugh.
30:28And I started thinking maybe...
30:33Maybe I could wait one more day.
30:35And then another.
30:37And another.
30:39You saved my life, Reese.
30:40I don't think you know that.
30:43But you did.
30:45Silas.
30:47I love you.
30:49I love you, too.
31:00I did it, didn't I, Mortis?
31:03I did it.
31:07Silas.
31:08Silas, wake up.
31:10What?
31:10Your father.
31:11He called.
31:12He wants to see you.
31:15No.
31:17He says he's sorry.
31:19He wants to make amends.
31:21I said no.
31:35Silas?
31:36What happened?
31:37Not now.
31:39Talk to me.
31:41Reese, I said not now.
31:53Silas.
31:54Whatever it is, please, don't shut me out.
31:57My father wants to come back.
31:59Pretend nothing happened.
32:02After eight years.
32:04Oh, Silas.
32:05Everyone leaves and comes back when it's convenient.
32:09Everyone.
32:12I'm not going anywhere.
32:14I'm not going anywhere.
32:16I promise.
32:26I can't find him.
32:29He didn't come home from school.
32:35When did you last?
32:36Two hours ago.
32:38He's not answering his phone.
32:42I know where he might be.
32:54Silas!
32:58Silas!
32:59Silas, please.
33:03I told you everyone leaves
33:06I'm right here
33:09For now
33:10Silas, step back from the railing
33:13I just wanted to stop
33:15The noise, the hurting
33:19I'm so tired, Reese
33:21I know, I know you are
33:24But please, step back
33:27For your sisters, for your mom, for me
33:30You promised, you promised you'd call me
33:36I didn't want to ruin this for you
33:37Silas Brennan
33:40You are know this for me
33:41There is no without you
33:45Take my hand
33:56I've got you
33:57I've got you
34:02I'm sorry
34:03Don't apologize
34:06I almost...
34:07But you didn't
34:14What happens now?
34:16Now you get help
34:17Real help
34:18The kind I can't give you alone
34:26Will you come every day?
34:29Try and stop me
34:30Try and stop me
34:43You can't be here
34:44And yet here I am
34:46I saved him
34:48He's getting help
34:49It's done
34:52Is it?
34:55What does that mean?
34:58It means, Reese Caldwell
35:00That the original date hasn't passed yet
35:02Three days remain
35:04He's in a hospital
35:06He's safe
35:19Don't go away again, Silas
35:22I'm not going anywhere
35:33What?
35:35Just looking
35:36Weirdo
35:43Promise me something
35:45Anything
35:46Promise you'll keep going
35:48Even when it's hard
35:51Even when I'm not here
35:52Why wouldn't you be here?
35:54Just
35:56Promise
35:58Reese, what's going on?
36:00You've been weird all day
36:04I love you
36:06More than anything
36:10I love you too
36:15Tomorrow's the day, isn't it?
36:17The day he was supposed to die
36:20Yes
36:22And what happens to me?
36:24If he survives until midnight
36:26You both live
36:27The timeline re-reads itself
36:29He'll never know what you did
36:30He'll only know he chose to live
36:34And if he doesn't make it?
36:37Then I take you both
36:43I won't let him die
36:45I hope so
36:46Churzen and Reese Caldwell
36:48What are you doing here so early?
36:51I missed you
37:01Reese, you're hovering
37:04Sorry
37:05I'll stop
37:09He looks better
37:10Really better
37:12Yeah
37:13He does
37:15Whatever you did for him, Reese
37:17Thank you
37:20Why are we here?
37:22I want to take this place back
37:24Make a new memory here
37:29Last week, this place was where I almost ended everything
37:38Silas
37:39Don't freak out
37:40It's not a ring
37:43Yellow
37:43Like sunshine
37:45Like you
37:47Hey, hey
37:49Why are you crying?
37:50Because I love you so much it hurts
37:53Reese Caldwell
37:54I'm here because of you
37:56I plan to be here for a long, long time
37:58Okay?
37:59Okay
38:22Well, Reese Caldwell
38:24The hour arrives
38:25Is he okay?
38:29See for yourself
38:36You did it
38:39He's safe?
38:41Really safe?
38:42The timeline is re-riddled
38:44If Silas Brennan lives
38:45He'll never know about me
38:47About the 27 days
38:50He'll only remember a girl who showed up at his lunch table and refused to leave
38:56Will he still love me?
38:58He always would have, Reese
38:59You just gave him the time to figure it out
39:01Why me, Mortis?
39:03Why did you choose me?
39:06Because you cried at his funeral
39:07Because you sat with his mother
39:09Because you saw a stranger
39:10And grieved him like a friend
39:14That kind of heart is rare
39:16Goodbye, Reese Caldwell
39:18Live well
39:26Morning, sunshine
39:29Morning
39:33Just happy to be here
39:36Weirdo
39:38Hey, Silas
39:40Yeah?
39:42Thanks for being here
39:43Where else would I be?
39:4827 days ago
39:49A stranger gave me an impossible mission
39:52Today
39:53I have everything
39:54A boy who lives
39:56A family that smiles
39:57A life that begins
39:59Sometimes saving someone doesn't look like saving
40:02Sometimes it just looks like staying
40:05Like sitting down at their lunch table
40:07And refusing to leave
40:09I have everything
