Short filmTranscript
00:02Oh
00:41This is not my face.
00:43Don't scream.
00:44The walls are thin here.
00:49Who am I?
00:50Where am I?
00:53You're Vivian Chen.
00:54You were poisoned at your wedding four hours ago.
00:58Cyanide in your champagne.
01:10Cyanide in your champagne.
01:11Marcus.
01:12He murdered me.
01:15Correct.
01:16Option one.
01:17Move on.
01:19Wait 300 years for reincarnation.
01:22Option two.
01:23Seven days.
01:24A borrowed body.
01:26Enough time for revenge and justice.
01:32What's the catch?
01:34At midnight, one kiss buys you time.
01:37But each kiss wipes your memory.
01:41Newest first.
01:44After day seven, you're gone.
01:46Irreversible.
01:48Seven days?
01:49Then I just vanish forever?
01:52You're already dead.
01:53These seven days are a bonus.
01:59Where's the pen?
02:00No pen.
02:01Bite your tongue and kiss the card.
02:11Day one starts now.
02:13Stay within 50 meters of me before midnight.
02:15Why?
02:17Beyond that, your body shuts down and you're a corpse again.
02:25Move.
02:29Move.
02:34Move.
02:49What the hell are you?
02:51You won't want to know.
02:57Vivian.
02:59You promised we'd grow old together.
03:03My son hasn't eaten in three days.
03:06The day Vivian walked out, he even swallowed his wedding ring.
03:16He's crying.
03:18He killed me, and he's crying.
03:21Third row, gray coat.
03:23She's watching his hands.
03:25A cop?
03:27She suspects him, but she's got nothing.
03:29You have seven days, she won't crack this in seven years.
03:41Who is this girl?
03:43Sky Miller, 25, bar singer.
03:46Comodose since a crash 47 days ago.
03:49Brain dead as of this morning.
03:50Her soul's gone.
03:52Seven days.
03:59Does she have family?
04:00None.
04:06I need to get close to Marcus.
04:08He won't recognize me.
04:09I can-
04:09Fourteen hours left today.
04:11Decide what you really want.
04:13I want him in prison.
04:15I want everyone to know he's the murderer.
04:18I want-
04:20I just want to know why.
04:21What did I do wrong?
04:25You did nothing wrong.
04:27Thirteen minutes.
04:28What?
04:29Midnight.
04:30First kiss.
04:32What will I forget after we kiss?
04:35Your most recent memory.
04:36A day.
04:37A week.
04:38I can't choose.
04:39What if I forget the wedding?
04:41I won't even remember how he killed me.
04:43Then write it down before it's gone.
04:50How many times have you done this?
04:52You aren't the first.
04:54Have you ever-
04:55Shut up.
04:55It's time.
04:58It's time.
05:14What was I saying?
05:17Nothing important.
05:38Do you have an appointment?
05:39I'm here for the job.
05:41The admin assistant position you posted online.
05:45This role requires a bachelor's degree.
05:47Amy, let her fill out the form.
05:54We believe in giving everyone a shot.
05:56What's your name?
05:57Sky.
05:58Sky Miller.
06:11Any legal experience?
06:13None.
06:14But I'm a fast learner.
06:16Sky.
06:17I just lost my fiancé.
06:22Things are a mess.
06:23I need someone efficient, discreet, and willing to work late.
06:28Can you do that?
06:29Discretion is my specialty.
06:31Start tomorrow.
06:32Amy will give you your badge.
06:39Mr. Reed.
06:40I'm so sorry for your loss.
06:46She was the love of my life.
06:50Your heart rate just hit 142.
06:53Cool it.
06:55Shut up.
06:56Shut up.
07:01He killed me.
07:03And he keeps my photo on his desk.
07:06Like a trophy.
07:09Classic manipulator move.
07:11Keep the trophy after the kill.
07:13I checked his calendar.
07:15He's having a private lunch with someone named Diane tomorrow at 3pm.
07:19His mother.
07:22I took his ex-wife Elena's soul three years ago.
07:26Fell from a building.
07:28Ruled a suicide.
07:31Diane was his alibi.
07:34You knew he was a killer this whole time?
07:37I'm a broker, not a judge.
07:41The dead aren't my business.
07:46Neither are the living.
07:50Then why tell me?
08:00Marcus's ex Elena was murdered too.
08:02Diane was an accomplice.
08:04Find Elena's belongings.
08:05Kale cares more than he let on.
08:07He won't admit it.
08:21Elena wrote in her diary, oh my god.
08:27Just like me.
08:29He poisons everyone.
08:33Hurry up.
08:34This place is rigged with alarms.
08:40She had a daughter?
08:45Lily.
08:46She's with Elena's sister now.
08:49Marcus has never even visited her.
08:55Someone's here.
08:58Let's go.
09:15The basement sensor went off.
09:19Probably just rats, ma'am.
09:21Burn Elena's things.
09:22All of them.
09:23By tomorrow.
09:24Yes, ma'am.
09:32Marcus, someone was messing with Elena's stuff.
09:40Elena logged six months of poisoning.
09:42Doses, symptoms, everything.
09:44It's enough to bury him, but a diary isn't enough for court.
09:46I need that locker.
09:48Tomorrow.
09:49Right now.
09:52The second kiss.
09:54Right.
09:57What did I forget after the last one?
10:01You sure you want to know?
10:04Tell me.
10:05Your last date with Marcus.
10:06He ordered you linguine with clams, even though you're allergic.
10:09He played it off as a mistake.
10:11So he was testing the dosage even back then.
10:25What was I just looking at?
10:32Did I write this?
10:33Get some sleep.
10:35Grand Central tomorrow.
10:53Elena hit a camera in the bedroom.
10:55She caught Marcus in the act of poisoning her.
10:57Take it.
10:57We're not safe here.
11:03Tail her.
11:04I need to know who Sky Miller really is.
11:06I need to know who Sky Miller really is.
11:19That's it.
11:21This is enough to send him to the electric chair.
11:23No.
11:24It shows him crushing pills, not the actual poisoning.
11:28A lawyer could call it vitamins.
11:29You need a confession.
11:31Then I'll make him confess.
11:33How?
11:34He used the same MO on both of us.
11:36If I mention Elena, he'll panic.
11:37And panic leads to mistakes.
11:39You're betting your life that he won't just kill you, too.
11:41He can't kill me.
11:42I've already died once.
11:45You're starting to remind me more and more of her.
11:48Who?
12:08Mr. Reed, I found an old file while I was organizing.
12:13This is my ex-wife's.
12:15How did it end up in the office files?
12:18The beneficiary was changed.
12:20I thought you should know.
12:24You're very thorough, Sky.
12:26I'll take care of it.
12:27You can head out.
12:39Mom, the new assistant saw Elena's insurance policy.
12:43Deal with her.
12:44How?
12:46As usual.
12:47Check her background first.
12:49People with nothing to hide don't ask questions.
13:05Honestly, Sky, these past two days with you have been the only peace I've had lately.
13:13You're too kind.
13:15Can I call you at Sky?
13:18Let's drop the formalities.
13:21Of course.
13:23Do you ever feel like the people closest to you never actually knew the real you?
13:30I have.
13:32My fiancee, Vivian, she's great, but she doesn't get my world.
13:37The family, the firm, my mom.
13:40She's marrying my legacy, not me.
13:43Sounds like you're very lonely.
13:52I'm sorry.
13:53I shouldn't be dumping this on a new colleague.
13:55He's using the same lines on me.
13:57Every single word.
14:12He's starting to trust at Sky.
14:14Give me two more days and I'll get him talking about Elena.
14:18You have five days.
14:20Four after tonight's kiss.
14:23You're keeping track better than I am.
14:32Kale, you said I remind you of someone.
14:34Who is it?
14:35It doesn't matter.
14:38How long have you been a broker?
14:41A long time.
14:43How long?
14:48Twelve hundred years.
14:54Twelve hundred years.
14:55How many souls have you taken?
14:58Thirty-four thousand, seven hundred and twelve.
15:02You remember all of them?
15:05I remember every single name.
15:14Then why help me?
15:18Brokers collect souls,
15:19giving me seven days in a new body.
15:22That's not standard procedure.
15:25You ask too many questions.
15:28You give too few answers.
15:36This is your third night.
15:38After this, you'll likely lose a year of college.
15:42Then let me tell you something first.
15:46What?
15:47In college,
15:48my best memory was an afternoon reading poetry by the librarian window.
15:53Perfect sun.
15:54The last time I felt free.
16:13What were we talking about?
16:16You said you wanted to get to sleep.
16:40Second warning.
16:42Final warning leads to aeration.
16:48I checked my notes.
16:50Some entries are total blanks to me.
16:54Like this one.
16:55He cares more than he lets on.
16:59Any idea what it means?
17:00You wrote it.
17:03But I don't remember writing it.
17:06I'm losing memories of you, aren't I?
17:08Not random ones.
17:10Each kiss erases you.
17:12You're overthinking it.
17:13I'm not.
17:14Day one,
17:15I forgot our talk.
17:18Then,
17:19your details.
17:20Now,
17:21I read my notes
17:22about your touch
17:24and feel nothing.
17:27This contract
17:28is targeting you.
17:29It's erasing my memories of you.
17:32Why?
17:38Twelve hundred years ago,
17:39I wasn't a broker.
17:40I was what you'd call an angel.
17:43An angel?
17:44I loved a mortal.
17:46She died because of me.
17:49My very presence burns human souls.
17:52I thought I could control it.
17:54I didn't.
17:55Now I'm cursed
17:57to harvest souls forever.
17:59The condition?
18:00I can never love another soul again.
18:02And if you do?
18:04After three warnings,
18:05I'm erased.
18:06Not dead.
18:08Erased.
18:08Like I never existed
18:10in this world at all.
18:11Don't touch me!
18:13You said I reminded you of someone.
18:14It's her, isn't it?
18:16That girl.
18:17You don't remind me of her.
18:19You are her.
18:20I find you every millennium.
18:22But I can't get close.
18:24You knew.
18:26From the second I woke up in the morgue.
18:28That's why you gave me seven days.
18:30I didn't give you seven days
18:32because I knew you.
18:33I did it because this is the end.
18:35What do you mean?
18:38Your soul is fading.
18:40This is your last reincarnation.
18:42After this,
18:43you're gone forever.
18:48The last page is blank.
18:50It's not day seven yet.
18:53Mr. Reed,
18:54I have a personal question for you.
18:56Shoot.
18:57If a woman finds out
18:59her husband is poisoning her,
19:00how should she save evidence?
19:01Video or toxicology tests?
19:06Are you writing a novel or something?
19:08It's a friend situation.
19:09She's terrified.
19:10Skye,
19:11what's this friend's name?
19:13Elena.
19:17Elena is a common name.
19:19Your friend should go to the police.
19:20I can recommend a good lawyer.
19:22No need.
19:23She's already dead.
19:33Dave,
19:34is the background check
19:35on Skye's Miller finished?
19:36Boss,
19:37something's wrong.
19:37Skye Miller was declared
19:38brain dead weeks ago.
19:40She should be in the morgue,
19:41not your office.
19:42Keep digging.
19:43I want to know
19:44who she really is.
19:56someone's been here.
20:15Marcus is checking Skye's identity.
20:17He knows she's supposed to be dead.
20:19Your timeline is collapsing.
20:21By tomorrow,
20:22he'll know you aren't Skye.
20:23Then we move tomorrow.
20:24I'll take Elena's videos and diaries
20:26straight to Detective Nora.
20:28You think she'll believe someone
20:29who is officially dead?
20:31She doesn't have to believe me.
20:32She just needs the evidence.
20:34Day four.
20:35How much will I remember
20:36after we kiss?
20:37You'll lose high school or earlier.
20:39Those don't matter.
20:40Everything matters.
20:42Kale,
20:43how many warnings
20:44are on your wrist now?
20:48Two.
20:49One left.
20:50Let's go!
20:50One more kiss
20:51and you'll be erased.
20:53That's my problem.
20:54It's not just your problem.
21:03What happened?
21:05Why am I crying?
21:06The wind is just too strong.
21:08Let's close the window.
21:30Sky Miller,
21:31brain dead six weeks ago,
21:34is now organizing
21:35my ex-wife's death evidence.
21:40Who the hell are you?
21:42You broke into my place
21:43with a knife.
21:44Not exactly the behavior
21:45of a top-tier lawyer.
21:48Quit playing games.
21:49You have Elena's diary
21:51and videos.
21:52Who gave you?
21:54Elena left them.
21:55She was a lot smarter
21:56than you thought.
21:59Elena's been dead
22:00for three years.
22:03You've got nothing
22:04to do with her
22:06unless
22:10your eyes.
22:12The way you look at me,
22:13you're no stranger.
22:16No way.
22:17That's impossible.
22:18What's impossible?
22:21Vivian?
22:25Took you long enough.
22:26You're dead.
22:27I watched your heart stop.
22:28This is impossible!
22:29Your cyanide dose
22:30was perfect.
22:31Clean work.
22:32But you forgot
22:33some people
22:34won't let go
22:34even in death.
22:49She is my soul.
22:51Don't you dare touch her.
23:11What are you?
23:15Here's a secret.
23:17The gates of hell
23:18aren't underground.
23:20They're right behind me.
23:37It's starting.
23:38What's starting?
23:40Kale?
23:46You still have three days.
23:48Give the evidence
23:50to Detective Nora.
23:51She'll handle the rest.
23:55What are you saying?
23:57What's happening to you?
23:59The last page
24:00of the notebook.
24:01I wrote it for you.
24:04No!
24:05You said seven days!
24:06You promised!
24:09It's seven days.
24:11Your seven days.
24:13Not mine.
24:35Detective Walsh,
24:36I have proof
24:36Marcus Reed murdered
24:37Elena and Vivian.
24:38Sending my location now.
24:42You searched for me
24:43for to 1,200 years.
24:45Three days is enough.
24:46It's my turn now.
24:52Marcus Reed,
24:53you're under arrest.
24:54She's not Skies!
24:56She's a ghost!
24:57There was a monster here
24:59with wings!
25:02Save it for the judge.
25:03He doesn't believe
25:04in ghost stories.
25:05Take him.
25:12This is it?
25:14All the evidence
25:15you mentioned?
25:16Enough to make sure
25:17he rots in a cell forever.
25:19Something burned in here?
25:20And the 911 call?
25:22I heard a man's voice.
25:24No one else.
25:25Just me.
25:34The world is erasing him.
25:37Even the police records
25:39have no trace of him.
25:49Kale!
25:56Excessive contact
25:58with contract target detected.
25:59Warning issued.
26:01What?
26:02Kale, what are you...
26:06I'm Reaper at 0-1-18.
26:08My predecessor
26:09was formatted for violations.
26:11I'm taking over
26:12your contract.
26:13No!
26:14You're Kale!
26:15You're just...
26:22Ten minutes to midnight.
26:24Prepare for the
26:25renewal procedure.
26:28And if I don't
26:30kiss you...
26:31You drop dead.
26:32I collect your soul.
26:34Simple as that.
26:42Commencing countdown.
26:44Ten.
26:45Nine.
26:48He told me to find him.
26:51He's still in...
