100 Days to Live (2019) - full transcript

Hi, Tanya.

Hey, Max.

I was up all night.

And I got out a buncha pills

and I was just staring
at 'em, you know?

But, I'm too much of a pussy
to... to actually do it.

But I wanted to, you know?

I guess that's why
we're all here, right?

Not following through
doesn't make you weak,

it makes you strong.

Okay?



Fred, what you're feeling
right now is so common.

Trust me.

Yeah, because
wanting to die is just

a rage that's sweeping
the country right now.

Every 10 minutes someone
in America kills themselves.

- It's true.
- Do you really think

something like this,

that therapy, can help?

Can I tell you a story?

My mom, she was...

She was always angry and sad

and one morning when I was
nine she killed herself.

And I have wished
every morning since

that she would have had the
strength to walk in that door



like you guys did.

To meet people, because I
know it makes a difference.

So, I was thinking.

Maybe you could
get your own clinic

and then your hours
would be better.

You know I need to
be on the front line.

And, you know, I was
thinking one of us

should probably have
a full time job.

Is that a dig at
my retired lifestyle?

No.

But you know I have
to do what I do.

So, I know we've only been
dating for a few months,

but they've been amazing.

Yeah.

And I know you get
down on yourself,

but I've seen what's
really inside of you and

it's wonderful.

And strong and...

Now, don't freak out.

For right now the only thing
that can make me any happier

is if you were to say yes.

Yes.

Yes.

I love you.

I love you, too.

She said yes.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Good morning.

Morning.

Now that we're
gonna get married

maybe we should think about
getting a dog or a cat.

What about a cat?

Ye... I....

Cats are cute.

- Cats are cute.
- But they just kinda sit

- there and litterboxes are-
- I know, but they purr.

Yeah, dogs are much cuter.

- Sure.
- Fetch it,

then bring it back.

Kitties purr.

We'll talk about
this when I come back.

Yeah, okay.

Love you.

May I use the ladies room?

Where is it?

Thank you.

I'm Detective Neese.

I'm assigned to your case.

How you holding up?

What happened to Gabriel?

Okay, um...

I'm just gonna level with you.

Your fiance's the latest
victim of a known criminal.

He stalks his
victims for months,

takes pictures of what seems
to be everywhere they go,

everything they do.

Then he drugs and kidnaps
them and leaves behind

a scrapbook saying
they were saved.

We call him The Savior.

What does he do to them, then?

What does he do to them?

He shoots them and
dumps their bodies.

Does this mean
that Gabriel's dead?

We don't know that yet.

We're doing everything we can.

No sightings yet.

Humboldt Park, Englewood,
Oak Park, nothing.

How's it going in there?

She had like an anxiety
attack, poor girl.

Think she's gonna be
okay to do this now?

Relatively speaking.

Did you ask her?

Ah, Jesus, come on.

You didn't ask her.

Hi.

I'm Detective Byers.

Please, have a seat.

I, uh...

I'm very sorry for
what happened to you.

I have a question for you
that might seem a little odd.

I have this theory that The
Savior might be targeting people

who have attempted
suicide in the past.

What?

Two out of the three
victims have suicide attempts.

It's the only link
we have between them.

It's an
unproven theory.

Rebecca, did Gabriel
ever try to kill himself?

Yes.

Yeah.

He did.

I run a suicide
prevention group.

That's where we met.

He came in one day

after my group session.

I'm Dr. Church, you can call
me Rebecca, I run the group.

I'm Gabriel.

Um, what's up?

I...

My wife and daughter
died last year and...

And I'm just...

Just start talking.

You can do that.

I'm sorry, I can't do this.

Just wait.

Just wait, please!

What's that?

It's my number.

I can tell there's
more you need to say.

Thank you.

People come and
go every night.

I never thought
I'd hear from him.

- Hello?
- Rebecca.

Hi, you know, after
I saw you tonight

I think something
clicked for me.

I think I'm actually really
starting to feel better.

This is Gabriel, by the way.

Uh, yeah, I know.

Are you feeling manic?

No, no.

I actually feel relaxed.

He
seemed so positive.

He asked me to have
coffee and I said no,

but he was so
persistent so I agreed

just to check in on him.

He was
already following him.

Then what happened?

He offered
to make me breakfast.

He wasn't a patient,
so I agreed.

We had a lot in common.

We both had losses in our lives.

Be prepared to be amazed.

I'm just so freaking
sick of being depressed.

I mean, life is short, right?

I don't know, I think I'm
just having some sort of

positive epiphany.

Is that normal?

Sometimes people
just turn a corner.

It can happen.

I think it did.

And I've done a little
research on you, too.

You've written a lot
about suicide prevention.

Most of that's from
my doctoral research.

For insomniacs it works wonders.

I read an article, they
called you The Wounded Healer.

I can tell you still carry
around a lot of that sadness.

Do you mind if I use...

Oh yeah, sure, go ahead.

Just right on the corner.

Thanks, bye.

Hi, sorry, I just
had a work call.

So, what do you
do for work anyway?

I'm an option trader.

Which basically means I
steal money for a living.

Oh, these were, uh...

These were designed
to hold guitars.

I planned on learning, but
with marriage and my kid

and work, I never
even bought a guitar.

You know what? The
new Gabe is retiring.

Fuck options trading,
I've got enough money.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to
keep dumping on you like this,

it's just...

I wanna buy guitars, I
wanna eat great food,

and do whatever the else I
want for the rest of my life.

I don't know, it
just kind of happened.

We were inseparable
after that day.

We just got engaged yesterday.

Is there anything
else you can remember?

Anything you can tell us?

This guy followed
Gabriel for months.

You are all over this thing.

Wait a second.

I mean, we're
sleeping here, so...

The Savior was inside my house?

Yes, he's done that with
a few of the other victims.

He slips in and
takes these photos.

I remember this night.

It was at my place, it was
before I moved in with Gabriel.

Maybe our fifth date.

Did you leave the door open?

- No.
- It was open.

Hello?

So, I always ask my group
what are you grateful for today?

I just figured that it
was an angry patient

or a twisted practical joke.

But it was him.

He's never left notes
before, why would he start?

- Yeah.
- I've been in this career

my entire life.

Maybe I know him.

What?

What is it? What's the matter?

It's the guy with the camera.

This isn't possible.

- Is he a patient?
- No, he's...

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

He's dead.

We used to work together.

Rebecca?

Victor. Victor Quinn.

I'm starting today.

Yeah, welcome aboard.

Thanks.

No, I can imagine what it's
like for you, all right?

But I'm here and I'm
listening, and right now it...

Please, Henry, I'm still
listening, all right?

I'm still here, we don't
have to figure this...

He's in his garage
with the car started.

Henry, Henry, I need you to
get out of the garage, okay?

Henry!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Call 9-1-1.

- 911, what's your emergency?
- Hi, this is Victor Quinn,

I'm at Chicago West Clinic.

Subject is a male, he's in his
garage with his car started.

Hey, that's all we can do.

They'll get there, okay?

Yeah.

But so often
there just isn't enough time.

You're fucking kidding me!

This is fucking ridiculous.

Jesus, I could've saved
that guy if the cops

just got off their ass.

Sometimes the cops
get there in time,

sometimes they don't.

It's how it goes.

Victor was missing the next day.

Hello?

Victor, where are you?

What are you doing?

Apologizing.

There are two people
buried here that I failed.

And 15 others scattered
across the city.

Some I talked to for hours.

Some just once.

You probably think
I'm crazy, right?

I just think you need to
lighten up a little bit.

Let's get outta here.

Yeah.

My boss thought
I could help him.

Be careful.

I think this is the first
time that oven's been used.

This is my mom's recipe,

she used to make them
when I was little.

When she killed herself
I used to make 'em

and they would just always
make me feel better.

What was it like, you
know, after she died?

Well, uh...

I moved in with my dad
who was an abusive drunk.

Not a good guy.

Anyway, uh...

I take my meds and I
feel like I've beaten it

by helping other people.

Yeah, you wanna help
people, you can't just try.

I mean, you have to
succeed, you have to.

What's in here?

They're the people I've
lost over the last 20 years.

Some nights I don't
sleep 'cause there's

still so much I need to
learn about helping people.

I, uh, called
your last employer.

They said you were fired for
getting fixated on callers.

You see, why is it so hard
for people to understand

I was trying to save them-

- I get it, I love your passion.

But if you step out of line,
Victor, I will not keep quiet.

Fine.

I begged the
clinic to fire Victor,

but nobody listened.

I'm done.

Please
calm down, Maggie,

I'm listening, all right?

I'm still here!

Are you still there?

I'm tired.

Fuck it...

I'm gonna do it.

Hold on.

What are you doing?

She's right around the corner.

Are you crazy?

Either you're
in or you're out.

Let's go.

I'm calling 911.

Maggie!

Oh shit.

Maggie, you
need hospitalization.

I'm so stupid.

I stopped taking my
medications a month ago.

The second I kicked out the
chair I knew I made a mistake.

What medications were you on?

I don't even know.

It was a new one.

Just promise me you're
gonna get help now.

For real.

I will.

I've spoken to him so many
times, but never met him.

I'll go to the hospital, but
I wanna grab my journal first.

Sure.

See, this woman,
Rebecca, she needed help

and I saved her.

I mean, not the system. Me.

Victor, you haven't
saved anybody,

this is not about you.

Maggie?

God, where are the cops?

Fuck.

Maggie?

No, no, no, no.

I still regret every
single thing about that day.

And Victor disappeared.

Victor!

Victor!

God!

Victor, I'm here.

You're all right.

I understand now
why people wanna die.

I'm such a coward.

Come on now, don't say that.

I failed
so many people.

My god, Victor.

This is not your fault.

I mean, you're blaming
yourself for things

that are so far out
of your control.

Let me take you on
as a client, okay?

You'd do that for me?

Of course.

Come on, don't, don't-

- No more of your bullshit!

You know how many
I've told people

"Everything's gonna be
okay" when I knew it wasn't?

And to hell with all
your gratefulness spiel.

I can see it in your eyes you
are just as fucked up as me.

Please don't. Please.

Stop it.

It's all bullshit.

Please don't.

Please, Victor.

Oh my god.

Mr. Quinn is on a ventilator.

His best case scenario is
that he's what's called

a persistent vegetative state.

But with his wounds he's
not gonna live very long.

I'm very sorry.

And when did this
all take place?

About three years ago.

If he's dead, how
is he in this photo?

I have no idea, but it's him.

Greg, check the hospitals
to see if and when

this victim Quinn died.

- On it.
- Let's roll some cars out

to the last known address.

You guys talk to
Chicago West Clinic.

Canvas the whole area,
shop keepers, neighbors.

This guy's on the move,
we don't have much time.

So, the house that Victor
lived in is abandoned

and the clinic that you
both worked at is shut down.

But two years ago a
Victor Quinn applied

for several jobs at multiple
suicide prevention clinics.

Did Gabriel ever call
a suicide hotline?

Honey, do you mind if
I move your sweaters?

Sure, go ahead.

What is this?

After my family died

I would stick this
under my chin.

I've been meaning
to get rid of it.

You know, I almost
actually did it one night.

I called one of those
suicide prevention hotlines.

Talked to this guy, he
talked me out of it.

Saved my life.

I don't even know who he was.

That had to have
been Victor Quinn.

Possibly.

Why haven't you
guys found him yet?

You have a picture of him.

We're doing everything we can.

And what can I do?

Go home, get some rest.

If you want I can
provide a police escort,

but you really don't
need to stay here.

Ma'am, come on.

What are you doing here?

Dad, when Chicago
West shut down I think

they sent some of my stuff here.

Notebooks, papers.
Do you remember that?

Christ, you are your
mother's daughter.

Do you have any of the stuff?

Give me your hand, honey.

I'm leaving.

Your box
is in the basement.

Have you spoken with
the dead before, Rebecca?

Victor.

I knew you'd figure
it out sooner or later.

You're smart.

I want you to know
that I know that.

Where is Gabriel?

He's sleeping.

He can't come to
the phone right now.

Why are you doing this?

Because I survived.

They said I was in a
coma from brain bleeding.

They said I was
lucky to be alive.

Lucky.

For 100 days I
couldn't move or speak,

but I could feel pain.

I was locked in.

100 days of agony,
misery, and suffering.

Help me, help me.

Help me.

I'm in... I'm in here!

Can you hear me?

100 days to be tortured
by those I failed.

- I couldn't do it.
- I'm coming, I'm coming!

You failed us.

- You failed us.
- You failed us.

- You failed us.
- Failed us.

You failed us.

You failed us, you failed us.

You failed us, you failed us.

You failed us, you failed us.

Then I woke up.

Something changed inside of me.

Hey, looking good, Mr. Quinn.

You just keep on going, okay?

Okay.

Just, I'll see you around.

And I grew stronger.

One day I met a
woman named Barbara.

I'm waiting for a room.

We're all waiting
on something.

I see what you did there.

I'm going to hell.

Yes, you are.

Who are you?

I have a solution
for people like you.

To fix your defective brain.

What are you doing?

Get away from her.

Get back to your room, let's go.

I'll see you again.

Let's go.

- I promise.
- Now.

Let's go, move it.

Where is Gabriel?

He's gonna be just fine.

She talked to him.

Victor Quinn is alive.

I want Victor's phone pinged!

Get that girl back in here.

Cap, I'm showing her.

The woman that Victor said
he met at the hospital...

Did he say her name was Barbara?

Yeah.

His first victim.
Barbara Peters.

We weren't sure how they met.

After she left the hospital
he took her in broad daylight.

He left that by the steps.

What did he do to her?

This is how we found her.

My god, Victor.

Next victim. Tanya Williams.

The same drug was
found in her system.

A boy in her apartment
complex found this.

We found her the next morning.

Seven months later.

Harry Parker was leaving work.

The cleaning people found
this next to his car.

That's how we found him.

Victor is angry
at suicidal people,

so he's killing those
with suicide attempts.

I'm gonna share
something with you

that we haven't made public.

All of these victims were
followed exactly for 100 days.

Victor was in a
coma for 100 days.

We were stumped on that,
that's why I'm showing you these.

Yeah?

Be right there.

We might have a sighting.

He's got multiple cell phones.

Give me something good, Captain.

It wasn't him.

False alarm.

- Shit.
- Hey, you let her

in the evidence room?

- What are you-
- Calm down,

she knows the guy.

Captain?

Easy.

Everyone shut up.

I hope your police
friends are getting off

on our relationship.

Victor.

Please, whatever
you're doing just...

Please don't hurt him.

I'll do whatever you want.

I've been following
Gabriel for months.

Watched him fall
in love with you.

So, even though it's
against my rules

I wanted you to get a goodbye.

After all, it's the least I
can do for an old colleague.

Victor.

Wherever you are, just
listen to me, okay?

You're right.

The police, they're
listening to this,

but I won't involve them, okay?

Just come get me, all right?

- I promise I-
- Shut up!

Just answer my questions.

Do you love Gabriel?

Yes. Yes, more than
anything in the world.

Is Gabriel strong?

Yes.

Is Gabriel happy?

Yes.

This isn't personal, Rebecca.

Please.

Victor, Victor.

Are you there?

He's not there.

He's not there.

She said yes.

I wanna buy guitars, I
wanna eat great food,

and do whatever else I want
for the rest of my life.

Jack, I just
realized something.

I need a big favor.

Thank you, you guys.

Good week.

Look at these pictures.

Barbara

Tanya

Harry

and Gabriel.

What do you notice?

They're happy, Jack.

Look at their faces.

Every one of them that
was murdered had recovered

in the months before
they were killed.

People who are deeply suicidal,
they usually never recover

like this, and these people did.

Victor isn't killing them
because they're suicidal,

Victor's killing them
because they beat it.

Think about it, all right?

You were there, you heard
the phone conversation.

Why else would Victor
ask if Gabriel was happy?

Happy?

That's what you got?

Okay, I need you to
listen to me very carefully.

Do not go around town
sniffing out clues

and asking victim's families
questions without me.

Long time no see.

Should've left it
alone, Rebecca.

Had to go and play
detective, didn't you?

Rebecca?

Rebecca!

I know your secret.

I'm gonna save you next.

Fuck.

Jack, come on.

Come on.

He's got my gear.

It doesn't
matter, we gotta go.

Is there something
you're not telling me?

I mean, why is Victor
coming after you now?

Gabriel, are you sleeping?

What are you doing?

Babe.

Are you okay?

Hey, what's wrong?

When I was 18 I took
40 sleeping pills.

I woke up in a pool of
vomit completely ashamed.

But then I did it again in
grad school two years ago.

Babe, I'm cursed.

Even when things are going
great, I get really down.

I still hate myself for it.

Don't do that to
yourself. Don't.

He's out
there. I know it.

I think it's time to move
you to a safe house now.

No, I wanna stay here.

This is where I feel safe.

Okay.

Let's make it safe here.

Wa-la.

Your apartment is
now your safe house

and I'm the gatekeeper.

I have units downstairs
in 20 minutes.

Jesus!

Rebecca, don't sneak
up on me like that.

What is it?

I was thinking about it.

How did Victor know that
I tried to kill myself?

Maybe Gabriel told Victor.

No, no.

That doesn't make any sense.

Okay, so when Gabriel
called the suicide hotline

we didn't even know each other.

Look, I don't know about
the where, when, hows,

all I know is I'm
catching him, that's it.

No, no.

Victor...

He's trying to
tell me something.

Who is that?

It's an email from Victor.

Do you understand yet?

This is why I'm The Savior.

He attached audio
files to this email.

I'm gonna play the file.

Hey, doc,
yeah, I'm on a first date

with that girl I told you
about who gave me her number.

This is a recording
of a phone call.

I know, start it over.

Uh, do you mind if I use...

Oh yeah, sure, go ahead.

It's just right on the corner.

Gabriel.

Yeah, I'm on a first date
with that girl I told you about.

The one I met last night
who gave me her number.

I am just so nervous.

I'm not sure if I can do this.

Just be yourself.

If she's a counselor,
she'll understand.

Okay, all right. Thanks.

Hi, sorry, I just
had a work call.

Play the next one.

You know, this is
my investment manager.

I'll be right back.

Hello?

How's it going.

Fifth date in seven days.

This woman is incredible.

She really is amazing.

I don't know, do you think
I'm really ready for this?

You sound
like a man in love.

If you get anxious,
just breathe, relax.

Okay, will do.

Thanks, doc.

Talk to you later.

Play the next one.

Gabriel.

Hey, doc.
You got a second?

Sure, what's going on?

Oh, Rebecca's been
real down lately.

Just trying to cheer her up,

get her out in nature, you know?

Nice work,
I'm proud of you.

Thanks for always making me
appreciate stuff like this.

I get more out of your
pleasure than you know.

Play the last one.

Guess what?

I'm gonna ask her
to move in with me.

I really think I can do this.

She's the one.

Tell me, does Rebecca
know you're speaking to me?

No.

No, she has no idea.

I don't wanna shatter
her confidence in me.

Victor helps them
and then he kills them.

Gabriel was so vulnerable

and he didn't want me to know.

Since you're
hiding behind the police,

I thought we could chat.

You see now?

I want you to
understand that I didn't

kill Gabriel because
he was happy.

I'm the reason he was happy.

Him and the others.

All me.

And why
do you kill all them?

You should come
see me, Rebecca.

I can help you.

Yeah, I should.

Give me your address so
the fucking SWAT team

can put you where you belong.

You want my address.

I assume it's in
Gabriel's diary.

Gabriel didn't keep a diary.

As his therapist, I
can assure you he did.

Read the diary, Rebecca.

It's on top of the
world, just like he was.

Top of the world.

No!

Months went by.

I was losing my mind.

I'm Dr. Church.

You can call me Rebecca,
I run the group.

It's my number.

I can tell there's
more you need to say.

Thanks.

Here for Gabriel?

Come on, come on, come on.

Can you pull up, up, up,
up, over here, right.

Just right in... just
right up here, please.

Just...

Suicide prevention,
this is Victor.

I need some help.

Calm down and
tell me where you are.

I'm at, I'm at the
tracks near Humboldt Park.

My name is Dr. Quinn, Gabriel.

I'm coming to you right now.

You sounded like you needed me.

I can tell who's
serious and who isn't.

You are.

Where are we going?

I'll take you to my house.

I have something to show you.

I'm not taking no for an answer.

Please. Please, go ahead.

Open it.

Who are these people?

These were all deeply
suicidal people just like you.

Now look how happy they are.

Look at the joy on their faces.

I helped all of them.

How?

Imagine you only
had 100 days to live

if you knew for sure that
you would die in 100 days.

What do you mean?

The reason all these
people are so happy

is because they agreed
to die after 100 days.

On the 100th day, I drug
them with sodium thiopental,

and shoot them.

Totally painless.

And I photograph them,
capturing all their joy.

Imagine...

Imagine a life, a short
life, but full of passion,

reckless abandon, adventure
with no consequence.

The suicidal mind
is thus defeated.

If you could have one
thing in the world

that would make you
happy, what would it be?

I wanna find love again.

Then join me and you will.

All right, I'll do it.

Hello?

Rebecca, hi.

I'm the reason he was happy.

You ready?

Yeah.

Don't fight it.

Easy.

Easy.

I have a solution
for people like you.

- Yeah.
- To fix your defective brain.

Leave me alone.

You knew you were gonna die.

How could you do that to me?

Why did you do this?

Rebecca?

Rebecca!

Shit!

Okay, girl. Come on, come on!

Don't move.

You'll be all right.

You're lucky to be alive.

We've read the diary.

We know that Gabriel and
all the other victims

made deals with Victor.

Gabriel didn't really love me.

I know.

I'm so sorry.

We're gonna get him now.

No, you're not.

No, people want
what he's selling.

People like me.

Do it, do it, do it.

Good, you're awake.

There are police
in this hospital.

Then scream.

That's what I thought.

Did Gabriel ever try
to change his mind?

Once.

I just feel guilty
about Rebecca.

She's head over heels, I
just feel like a bad person,

and I don't know if I
can go through with this.

Then don't.

I won't waste my
time on nonbelievers.

I'm giving you a
taste of real life,

but it's real only
because of your control.

Your control is the key.

Either you are in or you're out.

You know your joy will pass.

It always does, it always does.

I'm in.

Get her an engagement ring.

You'll feel better
about yourself.

I don't know who's worse.

You or the victims who lie
to those who love them.

You're blaming me?

During the 100 days
you were with Gabriel,

did love ever save
you from the demons

or did you still feel the
pang of emptiness you felt

ever since you were a kid?

Be honest now.

I still feel empty.

Because you are empty.

Like me.

He or you could never
escape the demons.

I knew that from the
moment I met you.

What do you see when you
fantasize about death?

That I'm drowning.

I don't know what's
real anymore.

I'm as real as
you're ever gonna get.

I live so people
like us can die.

I'm your salvation, Rebecca.

Get out.

Hey.

Hey, Jack.

Uh, I got the flowers.

They're really pretty.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, no, I'm doing
okay, you know?

First day of the rest
of my life, right?

Actually, I was wondering.

Would you wanna help me
do some spring cleaning?

It'd be nice to
have the company.

So, what's this?

Gabriel and I, uh, we went
to Manhattan a few months ago.

Look, just don't
give up, okay?

You're gonna be fine.

I'm so tired.

- Then get some rest.
- Yeah.

I found my mom's body.

She left me a rose, but no note.

Are you okay?

You were screaming.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Look, I'm here for you
if you need me, okay?

Just...

Just leave, Jack.

You know where to find me.

They say when you
hit rock bottom you just know.

At that moment, I knew.

I was ready.

Hello, Rebecca.

I'm so tired.

Take down my address.

Don't be afraid.

I'm happy you came.

I was nervous.

Don't be.

You made the right choice.

Oh.

Come here.

Come, come.

You made the right choice.

I did make the right choice.

It's lovely.

Who called it in?

An anonymous caller
said from this house.

Oh, shit.

What is it?

Nothing.

What am
I grateful for today?

Honestly, I don't know.

But I am alive and I am strong

and I know I am never
going to give up.

I promise.
