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.
00:59Please, 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.
01:20I thought you might want to talk.
01:22Thanks, but no thanks.
01:23Reese, 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.
01:46I figured you would.
01:54A 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.
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.
02:32Reese Caldwell.
02:34Caldwell?
02:35Richard Caldwell's daughter?
02:39I didn't know there'd be a celebrity here.
02:42Just...
02:43a 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.
03:38Reese...
03:39Caldwell.
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.
03:58The 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.
04:17You'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?
04:35Because 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 eleven.
05:19Oh shit!
05:20My parents!
05:21Jesus!
05:22Reese!
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?
05:37You blushed like a lobster every time I looked at you.
05:39pointing inside to...
05:46My lover of honors...
05:51What's wrong?
05:57Oh, no!
06:03I know!
06:05Marks telling.
06:06The geral달� труд.
06:09Nvidia Walls telling me
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.
07:27One 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 friendships just started.
07:50Don't push your luck.
07:52Friends!
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 geometra.
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?
08:44Are 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,
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.
10:02Mrs. Brennan makes me feel old.
10:05Is Silas here?
10:06He's at work.
10:08Won'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.
10:25Silas 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.
10:56His 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.
11:27I'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?
12:35A friend from school.
12:37Silas.
12:38Brennan?
12:39The 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 without the 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.
13:25The cryptic ghost approach.
13:32Rhys?
13:34What are you doing here on Thanksgiving?
13:37My parents are at a charity gala.
13:39I...
13:39I just thought maybe...
13:41Get in here.
13:42We have plenty.
13:49What is she doing here?
13:51Be nice.
13:52She's our guest.
13:53Rhys!
13:54Sit by me!
13:56No!
13:57Me!
13:57Me!
13:58Me!
13:59Me!
13:59Me!
14:09What are you thankful for, girls?
14:12Cookies!
14:13Rhys!
14:15And you, Silas?
14:17My family.
14:20And maybe one annoying friend.
14:25Yeah!
14:28For coming.
14:30Mom's been lonely.
14:32What about you?
14:36Good night, Rhys.
14:38Good night, Rhys.
14:42Nineteen days.
14:45Look at the freak!
14:47Where'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, Rhys.
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.
15:48Of course.
15:54I'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.
16:21Your mom needs you.
16:22I...
16:23You what?
16:25I need you too.
16:26As my friend.
16:28You barely know me.
16:30I know enough.
16:35Don't make me madder to you, Rhys.
16:37I'll just disappoint you.
16:39Too late.
16:54I would yell somewhere.
17:07I love you.
17:10Don't make me mad.
17:11Don't make me mad.
17:18It's the other day.
17:19Puppy pile!
17:34Well, I'll be.
17:37What's your favorite color, Reese?
17:39You're asking me a question?
17:41Friends know things.
17:42Yellow. Like sunshine.
17:45That fits.
18:17You're asking me a question?
18:30You're asking me a question?
18:34You're asking me a question?
18:36You're asking me a question?
18:38What happened?
18:41Mom got laid off today.
18:48I don't know what we're gonna do.
18:50Rent's due.
18:52The girls need everything.
18:53I can pick up more shifts, but...
18:56Hey, hey.
18:58Look at me.
19:02You're not alone.
19:11I'm so tired, Reese.
19:14I've got you.
19:16I've got you.
19:21I won't lose him.
19:23I won't.
19:24I won't lose him.
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.
19:38Save it.
19:38Help with rent.
19:39Reese.
19:40That's too much.
19:42Please.
19:43Let me do this.
19:47Why are you so good to us?
19:49Because you are good.
19:51Because you are good.
19:51The world should know.
20:01Dad, I need a favor.
20:03What kind of favor?
20:05The kind only you can pull off.
20:09A benefit night for the Brennan family.
20:13Yes.
20:16Reese, why does this matter so much?
20:20Because some people deserve a second chance.
20:24And nobody's giving him one.
20:27I'll make some calls.
20:3214 days.
20:37What's wrong with you?
20:39Nothing.
20:41You look like you're about to explode.
20:43I have a surprise.
20:45I hate surprises.
20:47You'll love this one.
20:58Reese, what is this?
21:00A fundraiser.
21:02For your family.
21:04My dad's bringing every rich client he has.
21:08Diana will have enough for rent for a year.
21:11I don't want your charity.
21:13It's not charity.
21:15It's friends helping friends.
21:16It is charity.
21:18It's pity.
21:20Silas?
21:21I told you not to make me matter to you.
21:30Trouble in paradise?
21:33Not now, Rochelle.
21:37Silas!
