Short filmTranscript
00:12Class, settle down. I have some difficult news.
00:19Silas Brennan died by suicide yesterday evening.
00:26Come again?
00:28You heard me correctly, Mia.
00:32Who's Silas Brennan?
00:34A 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.
00:54Counselors will be available all week.
00:58Please, don't bottle up your feelings.
01:02Remember Silas with kindness.
01:14Mom?
01:16What are you doing home?
01:18I heard about what happened. I thought you might want to talk.
01:21Thanks, but no thanks.
01:23Reese, it's not safe to bottle this up. I 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.
01:42And Mom, I'm going to the funeral on Thursday.
01:46I figured you would.
01:53A lot can happen in a few minutes.
01:56Like throwing up.
01:59Wes, I'll call you back.
02:01Reese is leaving.
02:08Are you sure you want to go tonight?
02:10Yes.
02:12Do you want me to come?
02:13No, Dad. I'm fine going alone.
02:22Were you one of Silas's classmates?
02:25Yeah, yes.
02:26We had English together freshman year.
02:29I'm Diana, Silas's mother.
02:32Reese Caldwell.
02:34Caldwell?
02:35Richard Caldwell's daughter?
02:37Mm-hmm.
02:40I didn't know there'd be a celebrity here.
02:42Just... a friend.
03:01Did you know my brother, too?
03:05Yeah.
03:07He was pretty cool, huh?
03:10Definitely.
03:12Ivy, Mommy says sit down.
03:14Chill out.
03:23It's a bit late for a young girl like yourself to be out, isn't it?
03:32I don't know who you are,
03:34but I'm not looking for trouble.
03:36Oh, I know you're not.
03:38Reese...
03:39Caldwell.
03:41How do you know my name?
03:43I know everything.
03:46Comes with the job.
03:52Stay away from me!
03:54Or you'll what?
03:56Scream?
03:56I'm known by many names.
03:58I'm known by many names.
03:58The Devil.
03:59The Grim Reaper.
04:01Hades.
04:02Azrael.
04:03But for simplicity, call me Death.
04:06You're insane.
04:08Most run by now.
04:10You're unusual, Reese Caldwell.
04:12Let'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?
04:30You 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!
05:06I 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!
05:21Reese!
05:22Would you shut up?
05:24You know who I am?
05:26Reese 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?
05:36You blushed like a lobster every time I looked at you.
06:01Okay, Mortis.
06:03I hear you.
06:05Okay, Mortis.
06:17I hear you.
06:17Come on.
06:18Come on.
06:41I sing.
06:43I'm not a man.
06:44I'm not a man.
06:44No, no.
06:44I was a man.
06:44I was just a man.
06:45I was just a man.
06:46I was a man.
06:47Can you please just give us being friends a shot, Silas?
06:52Fine. We'll give it a shot.
06:54But you're annoying. You get on my nerves. I'm not sure I like you.
06:58Honey, you ain't seen nothing yet.
07:03Take these. You ate most of them anyway.
07:08Thanks. I'll steal your food more often.
07:19See you later, Silas. Stay out of trouble.
07:26One day down. 26 to go.
07:33Was there a reason you had to ram into me? Or are you just obsessed?
07:38I am not obsessed. It's crowded.
07:43Hey. Wait up. Let's hang out.
07:47Our friendship's just started. Don't push your luck.
07:51Friends! Hang out!
07:54I wouldn't know. I'm not exactly popular.
07:58Then I'll teach you. Are you in or what?
08:05I hate math. It makes me throw things.
08:09Show me.
08:11The Pythagorean theorem? This 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 C Stew.
08:27Finally! She gets it!
08:29Ow!
08:30Mortis, you sick bastard.
08:33Reese!
08:34It's nothing. Hit 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, and 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.
10:04Is 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?
10:28No.
10:31Just friends.
10:33You're pretty.
10:42They like you.
10:43That's rare.
10:45Diana, can I ask something?
10:47Is 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.
11:03That's why I'm here.
11:14What are you doing here?
11:17I came to see you.
11:20Why?
11:22Because we're friends.
11:22Walk me home.
11:24I live in the opposite direction.
11:26I'll walk you home then.
11:37You're sisters are adorable.
11:39They're chaos demons.
11:41Same thing.
11:45You 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.
12:32I have a tutor.
12:34Who?
12:34A friend from school.
12:36Silas.
12:38Brennan?
12:38The 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.
12:51Just be careful.
12:52Of what?
12:53Some kids carry too much weight.
12:56It rubs off.
12:57Out the wrackle.
12:59Maybe people just need someone to share the weight with.
13:04What?
13:08What?
13:09What?
13:09What?
13:11What?
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.
13:53Peace!
13:54Sit by me!
13:55No!
13:56Me!
13:57Me!
13:58Me!
13:59Me!
13:59Me!
14:09What are you thankful for, girls?
14:11Cookies!
14:13Re!
14:14And you, Silas?
14:17My family.
14:20And maybe one annoying friend.
14:24Yeah!
14:28For coming.
14:29Mom's been...
14:30lonely.
14:32What about you?
14:36Good night, Reese.
14:4119 days.
14:45Look at the freak!
14:46Where's your daddy, Brennan?
14:48Oh, wait.
14:48He doesn't want you.
14:50Kate!
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.
15:09You're welcome.
15:11I'm serious, Reese.
15:13Stay 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.
16:06Mom worked three jobs.
16:07I started working at 14.
16:09Some days I wonder why I bother.
16:12Silas.
16:13Don't do the pity thing.
16:15I 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.
16:39Too late.
16:53Snowball fight!
16:55Snowball fight!
16:56Oh, it's on!
16:57Woo!
17:02This is what I'm fighting for.
17:07Wake up, Caldwell!
17:10Oh, you did not.
17:14No!
17:18Puppy pile!
17:21No!
17:23No!
17:28No!
17:28No!
17:30No!
17:30No!
17:30No!
17:31No!
17:34No!
17:36No!
17:38No!
17:40me a question? Friends know things. Yellow. Like sunshine. That fits.
18:37What happened?
18:41Mom got laid off today. I don't know what we're gonna do. Rents do. The girls need everything.
18:53I can pick up more shifts, but... Hey, hey. Look at me. You're not alone.
19:11I'm so tired, Reese. I've got you. I've got you.
19:21I won't lose him. I won't.
19:28Deanna, I want to host a fundraiser.
19:32A what? For Mama Rosa. My dad knows everyone. We can pack this place, save it, help with rent.
19:39Reese, that's too much. Please, let me do this.
19:47Why are you so good to us? Because you are good. The world should know.
20:00Dad, I need a favor. What kind of favor? The kind only you can pull off.
20:09A benefit night for the Brennan family.
20:13Yes.
20:14Reese, why does this matter so much?
20:20Because some people deserve a second chance, and nobody's giving him one.
20:26I'll make some calls.
20:32Fourteen days.
20:37What's wrong with you?
20:39Nothing.
20:40You look like you're about to explode.
20:43I have a surprise.
20:44I hate surprises.
20:46You'll love this one.
20:57Reese, what is this?
21:00A fundraiser.
21:02For your family.
21:04My 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. It's friends helping friends.
21:16It is charity. It's pity.
21:20Silas?
21:20I told you not to make me matter to you.
21:31Trouble in paradise?
21:33Not now, Rochelle.
21:38Silas!
21:42Stop being a stubborn jerk!
21:49You 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.
22:05Maybe because you are!
22:07I'm sorry. I didn't mean that...
22:10Yes, you did.
22:13Silas, listen to me.
22:15The fundraiser isn't pity.
22:18Your mom said yes.
22:20Your sisters need this.
22:22You don't get to decide for them out of pride.
22:29Please.
22:31Just come Saturday.
22:33That's all I ask.
22:34Fine.
22:36But...
22:37I'm not wearing a suit.
22:39Deal.
22:45I'm not wearing a suit.
22:48I'm not wearing a suit.
22:52I'm not wearing a suit.
23:02You wore a suit.
23:04Mom made me.
23:06You look...
23:08Wow.
23:10You too

23:22My daughter Reese taught me something this month that sometimes the most important thing we can do is
23:29simply show up for each other
23:36I
23:37Don't dance
23:37Neither do I let's not dance together
23:49Thank you, Reese for what for not giving up

24:39And couldn't breathe
24:40Silas have you ever talked to anyone?
24:45Like a doctor?
24:47I can't afford that
24:49I can

26:09I said, you're the reason I'm here
26:14I'll always be here
26:18I used to come here when things got bad
26:21To think
26:23Just to think?
26:27Sometimes more than that
26:32I just thought about it return

28:30Weirdo
28:35I started medication
28:36I started medication
28:37The counselor wrote a prescription
28:39That's amazing, Silas
28:41I feel...
28:43Lighter
28:44A little
28:50I wanna take you somewhere tomorrow
28:53Where?
28:55It's a surprise
28:56I hate surprises
28:58Now you know how I felt
29:06Get a room!
29:20Silas has a girlfriend
29:24I hate all of you
29:30Seven days, please
29:31Seven days, please
29:32Please let this work
29:38Open
29:48Silas
29:49I know it's not fancy
29:51I...
29:52Worked extra shifts to...
29:55It's perfect
29:56A lot of fun
30:00It's perfect
30:00Like you's good
30:00It's perfect
30:03It's perfect
30:04I know it's okay
30:08It's perfect
30:09It's perfect
30:10Okay?
30:13Yeah?
30:13in a really dark place. I was making plans. Bad plans. I had a date in mind. And then
30:22you sat down at my lunch table. And you wouldn't leave. And you made me laugh. And I started
30:30thinking maybe, maybe I could wait one more day. And then another. And another. You saved
30:40my life, Reese. I don't think you know that. But you did. Silas. I love you. I love you
30:50too. I did it, didn't I, Mortis? I did it. Silas. Silas, wake up.
31:10What? Your father. He called. He wants to see you. No. He says he's sorry. He wants
31:20to make amends. I said no. Silas, what happened? Not now.
31:40Talk to me. Reese, I said not now. Silas, whatever it is, please don't shut me out. My father
31:59wants to come back. Pretend nothing happened. After eight years. Oh, Silas. Everyone leaves
32:07and comes back when it's convenient. Everyone. I'm not going anywhere. Promise? I promise.
32:27I can't find him. He didn't come home from school. When did you last two hours ago? He's
32:39not answering his phone. I know where he might be.
32:55Silas! Silas, please. I told you everyone leaves. I'm right here. For now. Silas, step back
33:13from the railing. I just wanted to stop. The noise. The hurting. I'm so tired, Reese.
33:23I know. I know you are. But please, step back. For your sisters. For your mom. For me.
33:31You promised. You promised. You promised. You promised you'd call me. I didn't want to ruin
33:38this for you. Silas Brennan. You are no this for me. There is no without you. Take my hand.
33:56I've got you. I've got you. I've got you. I'm sorry. Don't apologize. I almost... But
34:09you didn't. What happens now? Now you get help. Real help. The kind I can't give you
34:21alone. Will you come every day? Try and stop me.
34:43You can't be here. And yet here I am. I saved him. He's getting help. It's done.
34:53Is it? What does that mean? It means, Reese Caldwell, that the original date hasn't passed
35:03yet. Three days remain. He's in a hospital. He's safe.
35:21Don't go away again, Silas. I'm not going anywhere.
35:34What? Just looking. Weirdo.
35:43Promise me something. Anything. Promise you'll keep going. Even when it's hard. Even when I'm
35:52not here. Why wouldn't you be here? Just promise. Reese, what's going on? You've been weird
36:02all day. I love you. More than anything. I love you too.
36:16Tomorrow's the day, isn't it? The day he was supposed to die. Yes.
36:23And what happens to me? If he survives until midnight, you both live. The timeline rereads
36:29itself. He'll never know what you did. He'll only know he chose to live.
36:35And if he doesn't make it? Then I take you both. I won't let him die. I hope so.
36:47Churzen and Reese Caldwell. What are you doing here so early? I missed you.
37:02Reese, you're hovering. Sorry. I'll stop.
37:10He looks better. Really better. Yeah, he does. Whatever you did for him, Reese. Thank you.
37:21Why are we here? I want to take this place back. Make a new memory here.
37:29Last week, this place was where I almost ended everything.
37:39Silas? Don't freak out. It's not a ring. Yellow, like sunshine. Like you.
37:48Hey, hey. Why are you crying? Because I love you so much it hurts.
37:54Reese Caldwell. I'm here because of you. I plan to be here for a long, long time. Okay?
38:00Okay.
38:01Okay.
38:23Well, Reese Caldwell. The hour arrives.
38:26Reese Caldwell. Is he okay?
38:30See for yourself.
38:37You did it.
38:40He's safe? Really safe?
38:43The timeline is re-ridtered.
38:45If Silas Brennan lives, he'll never know about me.
38:49About the 27 days.
38:51He'll only remember a girl who showed up at his lunch table and refused to leave.
38:57Will he still love me?
38:59He always would have, Reese.
39:01You just gave him the time to figure it out.
39:03Why me, Mortis?
39:04Why did you choose me?
39:07Because you cried at his funeral.
39:08Because you sat with his mother.
39:10Because you saw a stranger and grieved him like a friend.
39:15That kind of heart is rare.
39:17Goodbye, Reese Caldwell.
39:19Live well.
39:28Morning, sunshine.
39:30Morning.
39:34Just happy to be here.
39:37Weirdo.
39:39Hey, Silas?
39:41Yeah?
39:43Thanks for being here.
39:45Where else would I be?
39:4927 days ago, a stranger gave me an impossible mission.
39:53Today, I have everything.
39:55A boy who lives.
39:57A family that smiles.
39:59A life that begins.
40:00Sometimes saving someone doesn't look like saving.
40:04Sometimes it just looks like staying.
40:06Like sitting down at their lunch table and refusing to leave.
