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.
01:15Mom?
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.
02:33Reese 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, Reese 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.
03:58The 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 blush like a lobster every time I looked at you.
06:01You're not going to be a monster.
06:02You're not going to be a monster.
06:02You're not going to be a monster.
06:02You're not going to be a monster.
06:02You're not going to be a monster.
06:02You're not going to be a monster.
06:04You're not going to be a monster.
06:05You're not going to be a monster.
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. 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.
07:07Thanks. I'll steal your food more often.
07:20See you later, Silas. Stay out of trouble.
07:26One day down. 26 to go.
07:34Was there a reason you had to ram into me? Or are you just obsessed?
07:38I am not obsessed. It's crowded.
07:42Hey.
07:44Wait up. Let's hang out.
07:48Our friendships just started. Don't push your luck.
07:52Friends! Hang out!
07:55I wouldn't know. I'm not exactly popular.
07:58Then I'll teach you. Are you in or what?
08:06I hate math. It makes me throw things.
08:09Show me.
08:11The Pythagorean theorem? This 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! She gets it!
08:29Ow!
08:30Mortis, you sick bastard.
08:33Reese!
08:34It's nothing. Hit 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. I just... he 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.
09:56Reese! I haven't seen you in a while.
09:59Hello.
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?
10:50Like really okay?
10:51Why do you ask?
10:52I don't know.
10:53Just a feeling.
10:55He's been through a lot.
10:56His father left.
10:57Money's tight.
10:59He 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?
11:22Because her friends walk me home.
11:25I live in the opposite direction.
11:27I'll walk you home then.
11:37Your sisters are adorable.
11:40They're chaos demons.
11:42Same thing.
11:45You smiled.
11:48I did not.
11:51Liar.
11:57Why are you really doing this, Reese?
12:00Maybe I just like you.
12:05Don't.
12:06Don't what?
12:07Don't like me.
12:08It's not a good idea.
12:10Why?
12:13Because I'm not someone you should like.
12:2021 days.
12:24You've been distant lately, Reese.
12:27I'm fine.
12:29Your 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.
12:45A decent man before 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 at 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.
13:32Reese?
13:34What are you doing here on Thanksgiving?
13:36My 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.
13:53Bees!
13:54Sit by me!
13:56No!
13:57Me!
13:58Me!
13:59Me!
14:00Me!
14:00Me!
14:00Me!
14:09What are you thankful for, girls?
14:12Cookies!
14:13Reese!
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, Reese.
14:4219 days.
14:45Look at the freak!
14:47Where's your daddy, Brennan?
14:48Oh wait, he 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.
15:08I didn't need your help.
15:10You're welcome.
15:11I'm serious, Reese.
15:13Stay out of it.
15:14Why?
15:16So you can take it alone?
15:18Yes!
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.
16:14I wasn't going to.
16:16I was going to say...
16:18You bother because your sisters love you.
16:21Your mom needs you.
16:23I...
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, Reese.
16:37I'll just disappoint you.
16:39Too late.
16:44I'll just do it.
16:47I'll just do it.
16:50I'll just do it.
