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.
01:23Reese, 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.
01:43And Mom?
01:45I'm going to the funeral on Thursday.
01:47I figured you would.
01:54A lot can happen in a few minutes.
01:57Like throwing up.
01:59Wes, I'll call you back.
02:01Reese is leaving.
02:09Are 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.
02:27We had English together freshman year.
02:29I'm Diana.
02:30Silas' mother.
02:33Reese Caldwell.
02:34Caldwell?
02:35Richard Caldwell's daughter?
02:40I 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.
03:37Oh, I know you're not.
03:38Reese 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.
03:59The 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, Reese Caldwell.
04:12Let's chat.
04:15Let's chat.
04:17You're going to get me killed!
04:19I know when you'll die.
04:21It's not tonight.
04:25I 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?
04:34Because 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 didn't know I fell asleep.
05:09Whatever.
05:10We'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, Reese.
05:23Would you shut up?
05:24You know who I am?
05:27Reese Caldwell.
05:28Junior at JFK.
05:30Daughter of the hotshot lawyer.
05:32We had English freshman year.
05:33You remember that?
05:34How could I forget?
05:37You blushed like a lobster every time I looked at you.
06:01Okay, Mortis.
06:04I hear you.
06:14No, no, no!
06:41Mind if I sit?
06:43Yes.
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.
07:20See you later, Silas.
07:22Stay out of trouble.
07:26One day down.
07:2826 to go.
07:34Was 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.
07:44Wait up.
07:45Let's hang out.
07:48Our friendship's just started.
07:50Don't push your luck.
07:52Friends!
07:52Hang out!
07:55I wouldn't know.
07:57I'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.
08:42You're not eating lunch with us today, are you?
08:46Tay, it's not you.
08:47There's stuff going on.
08:50Stuff you can share with Silas Brennan, but not me?
08:53You 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...
09:02He needs a friend.
09:03And what about me?
09:05I'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.
09:39Maybe 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?
10:22I'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?
10:48Is 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.
10:56His 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.
11:23Walk me home.
11:24I live in the opposite direction.
11:26I'll walk you home then.
11:37Your sisters are adorable.
11:40They're chaos demons.
11:41Same thing.
11:46You smiled.
11:48I did not.
11:51Liar.
11:57Why are you really doing this, Reese?
12:00Maybe 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.
12:37Silas.
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?
12:54Some 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.
13:15I'm doing this right.
13:23Of course.
13:24The cryptic ghost approach.
13:32Rhys?
13:34What are you doing here on Thanksgiving?
13:37My parents are at a charity gala.
13:39I just thought maybe...
13:41Get in here.
13:42We have plenty.
13:48What is she doing here?
13:51Be nice.
13:52She's our guest.
13:53Rhys!
13:54Sit by me!
13:55No, me!
13:58Me, me, me, me, me!
14:08What are you thankful for, girls?
14:11Cookies!
14:13Rhys!
14:15And you, Silas?
14:17My family.
14:20And maybe one annoying friend.
14:24Yeah!
14:27Thank you for coming.
14:29Mom's been lonely.
14:32What about you?
14:35Good night, Rhys.
14:41Nineteen days.
14:42Nineteen days.
14:45Look 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.
15:09You're welcome.
15:11I'm serious, Rhys.
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 twelve.
16:04The girls were two.
16:05Mom worked three jobs.
16:07I started working at fourteen.
16:08Some days I wonder why I bother.
16:11Silas.
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 two.
16:26As my friend.
16:28You barely know me.
16:29I know enough.
16:34Don't make me madder to you, Rhys.
16:37I'll just disappoint you.
16:38Too late.
16:52Snowball 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!
17:21Puppy pile!
17:33Puppy pile!
17:34well I'll be what's your favorite color Reese you're asking me a question
17:40friends know things yellow like sunshine that fits
18:08hmm
18:12hmm
18:14hmm
18:16hmm
18:37What happened?
18:40Mom got laid off today.
18:47I don't know what we're gonna do, rents do.
18:51The girls need everything, I can pick up more shifts, but...
18:56Hey, hey, look at me.
19:02You're not alone.
19:10I'm so tired, Reese.
19:14I'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?
19:33For Mama Rosa.
19:35My dad knows everyone.
19:36We can pack this place, save it, help with rent.
19:39Reese, that's too much.
19:41Reese, please, 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.
20:13Yes.
20:13Reese, why does this matter so much?
20:20Because some people deserve a second chance, and nobody's giving him one.
20:27I'll make some calls.
20:3214 days.
20:37What's wrong with you?
20:39Nothing.
20:40You look like you're about to explode.
20:43I have a surprise.
20:45I 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.
21:38Silas!
21:41Stop 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.
22:04Maybe because you are.
22:07I'm sorry.
22:08I 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.
22:21You don't get to decide for them out of pride.
22:29Please.
22:30Just come Saturday.
22:32That's all I ask.
22:34Fine.
22:36But I'm not wearing a suit.
22:39Deal.
22:46I'm not wearing a suit.
23:02You
23:03You 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
23:22My daughter Reese taught me something this month
23:24That sometimes the most important thing we can do
23:29Is simply show up for each other
23:35I don't dance
23:37Neither do I
23:38Let's not dance together
23:50Thank you, Reese
23:52For what?
23:53For...
23:54Not giving up
24:01Silas! Lily took my cake!
24:04Duty calls
24:13You changed our lives, Reese
24:23What's wrong?
24:25Nothing
24:26Liar
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, everything's fine
24:37But I woke up at 3am 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
24:51There's a free clinic 3 blocks from here
24:53I researched it
24:54They have counselors
24:55Please, just go once
24:56For me
24:58Why do you care so much?
25:01Because you matter
25:02Okay
25:03I'll go
25:05Eleven days
25:11This is stupid
25:13It's not
25:16I'm fine
25:17Then you can tell them that and leave
25:22Silas Brennan?
25:25Will you be here when I get out?
25:27I'll be here
25:43How was it?
25:48Hard
25:50She thinks I have depression
25:52She wants me to come back next week
25:55Will you?
25:58Yeah
26:02Reese?
26:04Yeah?
26:05I told her about you
26:07What did you say?
26:09I said
26:09You'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
26:33Thought 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?
26:51Why 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
27:09I'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
27:20Try me
27:25Never mind
27:27Reese
27:28It's nothing
27:29It's nothing
27:29Just...
27:30I'm glad I met you
27:33I'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
27:51Look who finally remembered me
27:52What 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, both of you
28:02And if I fail?
28:03Then 27 days from now when he dies, you do too
28:10Goodnight, Reese Caldwell
28:11Goodnight, Reese Caldwell
28:23You're staring
28:25I like staring at you
28:30Weirdo
28:34I started medication
28:36The counselor wrote a prescription
28:39That's amazing, Silas
28:40I feel...
28:42Lighter
28:43A little
28:50I wanna take you somewhere tomorrow
28:53Where?
28:55It's a surprise
28:56I hate surprises
28:57Now you know how I felt
29:06Get a room!
29:08Get a room!
29:20Silas has a girlfriend!
29:24I hate all of you
29:30Seven days, please
29:31Please let this work
29:38Open
29:47Silas?
29:48I know it's not fancy
29:50I...
29:52Worked extra shifts to...
29:54It's perfect
30:05Reese...
30:07I need to tell you something
30:11Okay...
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
30:29And 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
30:41I don't think you know that
30:43But you did
30:45Silas...
30:47I love you
30:49I love you too
30:50I love you too
31:00I did it, didn't I?
31:02Mortis
31:03I did it
31:07Silas
31:08Silas, wake up
31:09What?
31:10Your father
31:11He called
31:12He wants to see you
31:16No
31:17He says he's sorry
31:19He wants to make amends
31:20I said no!
31:35Silas?
31:36What happened?
31:38Not now
31:39Talk to me
31:41Reese, I said not now
31:54Silas, whatever it is please, don't shut me out
31:57My father wants to come back
32:00Pretend 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
32:14Promise?
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
32:37When did you last?
32:38He's not answering his phone
32:42I know where he might be
32:55Silas!
32:58Silas!
32:59Silas!
33:00Please!
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
33:17The hurting
33:19I'm so tired, Reese
33:21I know
33:23I know you are
33:24But please
33:26Step back
33:27For your sisters
33:29For your mom
33:30For me
33:30You promised
33:31You promised you'd call me
33:36I didn't want to ruin this for you
33:38Silas Brennan
33:40You are no 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
34:04Don't apologize
34:06I almost
34:08But 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 everyday?
34:29Try and stop me
34:42You can't be here
34:44And yet here I am
34:47I saved him
34:48He's getting help
34:50It's done
34:52Is it?
34:56What does that mean?
34:58It means, Reese Caldwell
35:00That the original date hasn't passed yet
35:03Three days remain
35:04He's in a hospital
35:06He's safe
35:19He's safe
35:20Don't go away again, Silas
35:23I'm not going anywhere
35:34What?
35:35Just looking
35:37Weirdo
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?
35:55Just...
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?
36:18The day he was supposed to die
36:20Yes
36:22And what happens to me?
36:24If he survives until midnight, you both live
36:27The timeline rereads itself
36:29He'll never know what you did
36:30He'll only know he chose to live
36:35And if he doesn't make it?
36:37Then I take you both
36:43I won't let him die
36:45I hope so
36:46Cheers and end Reese Caldwell
36:47What are you doing here so early?
36:51What are you doing here so early?
36:52I missed you
37:02Reese, you're hovering
37:04Sorry, I'll stop
37:09He looks better
37:11He looks better
37:12Really better
37:12Yeah, he 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, like 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
38:37You did it
38:39He's safe?
38:41Really safe?
38:42The timeline is re-ridtered
38:44Silas Brennan lives
38:46He'll never know about me
38:48About 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
39:02Why me, Mortis?
39:03Why did you choose me?
39:06Because you cried at his funeral
39:08Because you sat with his mother
39:09Because you saw a stranger and grieved him like a friend
39:14That kind of heart is rare
39:17Goodbye, Reese Caldwell
39:18Live well
39:27Morning, 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
39:53Today, I have everything
39:54A boy who lives
39:56A family that smiles
39:57A life that begins
39:59Sometimes
40:00Saving someone doesn't look like saving
40:03Sometimes it just looks like staying
40:05Like sitting down at their lunch table
40:08And refusing to leave
40:09you have anything this is okay? I
40:09can't believe Because
40:09it's There
