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.
01:15Mom?
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.
03:39Reese...
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 blush like a lobster every time I looked at you.
05:39No hope you see her at the end of the night.
06:01Corpus.
06:02Okay, 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
06:55You 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
07:33Was 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
07:51Friends
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?
08:05I 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
08:17I told you I'm bad at math
08:18All your answers are wrong
08:23So I plug 12 and 9 in for B2 and C-Stew
08:26Finally!
08:27She gets it!
08:29Ow!
08:30Mortis, you sick bastard
08:32Reese!
08:34It's nothing
08:34Hit it on the table
08:41You're not eating lunch with us today
08:43Are you?
08:45Tay, it's not you
08:47There's stuff going on
08:50Stuff you can share with Silas Brennan
08:51But 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
09:01He needs a friend
09:02And what about me?
09:04I'm your friend!
09:06I am down to 23 days
09:08And I am losing everything else
09:10Along 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!
09:56I 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
10:08Won't be back for hours
10:10But you can wait
10:11Free hot cocoa
10:20Who are you?
10:22I'm Reese
10:22I'm friends with your brother
10:24Silas doesn't have friends
10:26Are you his girlfriend?
10:29No
10:31Just friends
10:32You're pretty
10:42They like you
10:43They like you
10:43That's rare
10:44Diana
10:45Can 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
10:55His father left
10:56Money'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
11:15What are you doing here?
11:17I came to see you
11:20Why?
11:21Because we're friends
11:22Walk me home
11:24I live in the opposite direction
11:26I'll walk you home then
11:37Your 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
11:58Doing 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
12:13Someone you should like
12:2021 days
12:24You've been distant lately, Reese
12:26I'm fine
12:28Your grades dropped in geometry
12:30They went up, actually
12:32I have a tutor
12:34Who?
12:35A friend from school
12:36Silas
12:37Brennan?
12:38The Brennan kid?
12:41You know him?
12:42I know his father
12:43Or did
12:44Decent man
12:45Before he abandoned the family
12:47Silas 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
12:57At the wrackle
12:59Maybe people just need someone
13:01To share the weight with
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 just thought maybe
13:40Get in here
13:41We have plenty
13:48What is she doing here?
13:50Be nice
13:51She's our guest
13:52Please
13:54Sit by me
13:55No
13:56Me
13:57Me
13:58Me
13:58Me
13:59Me
13:59Me
14:08What are you thankful for girls?
14:11Cookies
14:12Read
14:14And you
14:15Silas
14:16My family
14:19And maybe one annoying friend
14:23Yeah
14:25Thank you
14:27For coming
14:28Mom's been
14:30Lonely
14:32What about you?
14:36Good night Reese
14:41Nineteen days
14:44Look 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
14:56Touch him again
14:57And I'll have my dad
14:58Sue your family
14:59Into the ground
15:07I didn't need your help
15:09You're welcome
15:10I'm serious Reese
15:12Stay out of it
15:13Why?
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
15:29Thing 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
15:58For not understanding
16:01My dad left
16:02When I was 12
16:04The girls were 2
16:05Mom worked 3 jobs
16:06I started working at 14
16:08Some days I wonder
16:09Why I bother
16:11Silas
16:13Don't do the pity thing
16:14I wasn't going to
16:16I was going to say
16:18You bother
16:19Because your sisters love you
16:20Your mom needs you
16:21I
16:23You what?
16:24I need you too
16:25As my friend
16:28You barely know me
16:29I know enough
16:34Don't make me matter to you
16:36Reese
16:36I'll just disappoint you
16:38Too late
16:52Snowball fight
16:54Snowball fight
16:55Oh it's on
17:01This is what I'm fighting for
17:06Wake up Caldwell
17:09Oh you did not
17:19Puppy pile
17:34Well I'll be
17:36What's your favorite color
17:37Reese
17:39You're asking me a question?
17:40Friends know things
17:41Yellow
17:42Like sunshine
17:45That fits
17:47Yes
18:00What's your favorite色
18:00Oh
18:04That fits
18:07What if
18:08You can average
18:12Getedar
18:12What if
18:12Did you
18:12I can't
18:16Watch
18:16To
18:37What happened?
18:40Mom got laid off today.
18:47I don't know what we're gonna do.
18:49Rent's due.
18:51The girls need everything.
18:53I can pick up more shifts, but...
18:55Hey, hey.
18:57Look at me.
19:02You're not alone.
19:10I'm so tired, Rhys.
19:13I've got you.
19:16I've got you.
19:21I won't lose him. I won't.
19:28Deanna, I want to host a fundraiser.
19:31A what?
19:33For Mama Rosa.
19:34My dad knows everyone.
19:36We can pack this place, save it, help with rent.
19:39Rhys, that's too much.
19:41Please, let me do this.
19:47Why are you so good to us?
19:49Because you are good. The 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.
20:12Yes.
20:15Rhys, why does this matter so much?
20:20Because some people deserve a second chance.
20:23And nobody's giving him one.
20:26I'll make some calls.
20:3114 days.
20:36What's wrong with you?
20:38Nothing.
20:40You look like you're about to explode.
20:42I have a surprise.
20:44I hate surprises.
20:46You'll love this one.
20:57Rhys, 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.
21:17It's pity.
21:19Silas?
21:20I told you not to make me matter to you.
21:30Trouble in paradise?
21:33Not now, Rochelle.
21:37Silas!
21:41Stop being a stubborn jerk!
21:48You 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!
22:06I'm sorry.
22:08I didn't mean that.
22:10Yes, you did.
22:13Silas, listen to me.
22:15The fundraiser isn't pity.
22:17Your mom said yes.
22:20Your sisters need this.
22:21You don't get to decide for them out of pride.
22:28Please.
22:30Just come Saturday.
22:32That's all I ask.
22:34Fine.
22:35But...
22:36I'm not wearing a suit.
22:39Deal.
22:40We're all wrong.
22:41We're all wrong on...
23:01We're at Chambers today.
23:04We're almost rolling.
23:08Wow.
23:10You too.
23:13Tonight we celebrate the Brennan family.
23:16A family that has weathered storms with grace.
23:21My daughter Reese taught me something this month.
23:24That sometimes the most important thing we can do is simply show up for each other.
23:36I don't dance.
23:37Neither do I. Let's not dance together.
23:50Thank you, Reese.
23:51For what?
23:53For not 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.
24:30I had a panic attack last night.
24:32What?
24:33I don't know why. The benefit went well. Mom's happy. Everything's fine.
24:37But I woke up at 3 a.m. and couldn't breathe.
24:40Silas, have you ever talked to anyone?
24:44Like a doctor?
24:46I can't afford that.
24:48I can.
24:50Reese.
24:50Listen, there's a free clinic three blocks from here. I researched it. They have counselors. Please, just go once. For
24:57me.
24:58Why do you care so much?
25:00Because you matter.
25:02Okay. I'll go.
25:05Eleven days.
25:11This is stupid.
25:13It's not.
25:15I'm fine.
25:17Then you can tell them that and leave.
25:21Silas Brennan?
25:24Will you be here when I get out?
25:27I'll be here.
25:29Okay.
25:42How was it?
25:48Hard.
25:49She thinks I have depression.
25:52She wants me to come back next week.
25:55Will you?
25:57Yeah.
26:01Reese?
26:03Yeah?
26:05I told her about you.
26:07What did you say?
26:08I said, you'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.
26:31I just thought about it returning.
26:35Silas, promise me those thoughts ever come back.
26:37You call me.
26:38Day or night.
26:38You call me.
26:40Reese.
26:42Promise me.
26:44I never did anything.
26:49Why did you find me, Reese?
26:52Out of everyone.
26:53Why me?
26:55Maybe I was supposed to.
27:06I'm happy.
27:06Don't cry.
27:08I'm happy.
27:09Nine days.
27:10And 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.
27:21Try me.
27:25Never mind.
27:27Reese.
27:28It's nothing.
27:29Just, I'm glad I met you.
27:32I'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.
27:52What 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.
27:59Both of you.
28:02And if I fail?
28:03Then 27 days from now, when he dies, you do too.
28:10Good night, Reese Caldwell.
28:23You're staring.
28:25I like staring at you.
28:30Weirdo.
28:34I started medication.
28:36The counselor wrote a prescription.
28:38That's amazing, Silas.
28:40I feel lighter.
28:43A little.
28:50I want to 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!
29:07Get a room!
29:20Silas has a girlfriend!
29:23I hate all of you.
29:29Seven days, please.
29:31Please let this work.
29:38Open.
29:47Silas?
29:48I know it's not fancy.
29:50I worked extra shifts to...
29:54It's perfect.
30:05I need to tell you something.
30:12I need to tell you something.
30:23Okay.
30:23And you wouldn't leave.
30:26And you made me laugh.
30:28And I started thinking, maybe...
30:32Maybe I could wait one more day.
30:35And then another.
30:36And 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.
31:00I did it, didn't I?
31:02Mortis.
31:03I did it.
31:07Silas.
31:08Silas, wake up.
31:10What?
31:10Your father.
31:11He called.
31:12He wants to see you.
31:15No.
31:17He says he's sorry.
31:18He wants to make amends.
31:21I said no!
31:23No!
31:35Silas.
31:35What happened?
31:37Not now.
31:39Talk to me.
31:41Reese, I said not now.
31:53Silas.
31:54Whatever it is, please.
31:56Don't shut me out.
31:57My father wants to come back.
31:59Pretend 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 two hours ago?
32:38He's not answering his phone.
32:42I know where he might be.
32:43I know where he might be.
32:55Silas!
32:58Silas.
32:59Please.
33:03I told you everyone leaves.
33:06I'm right here.
33:09For now.
33:10Silas.
33:11Step back from the railing.
33:13I just wanted to stop.
33:15The noise.
33:17The hurting.
33:19I'm so tired, Reese.
33:22I know.
33:23I know you are.
33:24But please.
33:26Step back.
33:27For your sisters.
33:29For your mom.
33:29For 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.
33:55I've got you.
33:57I've got you.
34:02I'm sorry.
34:03Don't apologize.
34:06I almost...
34:07But 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 every day?
34:29Try and stop me.
34:42You can't be here.
34:44And yet here I am.
34:46I saved him.
34:48He's getting help.
34:50It's done.
34:52Is it?
34:55What does that mean?
34:57It means, Reese Caldwell,
35:00that the original date hasn't passed yet.
35:03Three days remain.
35:05He's in a hospital.
35:07He's safe.
35:20Don't go away again, Silas.
35:23I'm not going anywhere.
35:31I'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.
35:50Even when I'm not here.
35:52Why wouldn't you be here?
35:54Just promise.
35:58Reese, what's going on?
36:00You've been weird all day.
36:04I love you.
36:06More than anything.
36:09I love you too.
36:15Tomorrow's the day, isn't it?
36:17The day he was supposed to die.
36:20Yes.
36:22And what happens to me?
36:24If he survives until midnight,
36:26you both live.
36:27The timeline re-reads itself.
36:29He'll never know what you did.
36:30He'll only know he chose to live.
36:34And if he doesn't make it?
36:37Then I take you both.
36:42I won't let him die.
36:45I hope so.
36:46Churzen and Reese Caldwell.
36:48What are you doing here so early?
36:51I missed you.
37:02Reese, you're hovering.
37:04Sorry.
37:06I'll stop.
37:09He looks better.
37:11Really better.
37:13Yeah.
37:14He does.
37:15Whatever you did for him, Reese.
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.
37:42Yellow.
37:43Like sunshine.
37:44Like you.
37:47Hey, hey.
37:48Why 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.
38:03Okay.
38:06Okay.
38:22Well, Reese Caldwell, the hour arrives.
38:25Is he okay?
38:29See for yourself.
38:36You did it.
38:39He's safe?
38:40Really safe?
38:42The timeline is re-riddered.
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.
39:00You 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.
39:07Because you sat with his mother.
39:09Because you saw a stranger and grieved him like a friend.
39:14That kind of heart is rare.
39:16Goodbye, 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.
39:44Where else would I be?
39:4827 days ago, a stranger gave me an impossible mission.
39:52Today, I have everything.
39:54A boy who lives.
39:56A family that smiles.
39:58A life that begins.
39:59Sometimes saving someone doesn't look like saving.
40:02Sometimes it just looks like staying.
40:05Like sitting down at their lunch table and refusing to leave.
40:09Mary God bless.
40:09Maybe I can't believe.
40:09Let's not believe.
40:09If you have to be like living things.
