You live here?

Yeah, Fine Art, Grads Programme.

I need a clear head do to my work

and I like my privacy.

Is Holt been here?

Did I say he would be?

Be careful where you stem.

I just painted the ceiling.

Nothing is wrong.

He is not avoiding you.

He's just on a journey.

I want to watch something

and then you'll understand.

Is that my phone?

You are lying!

I need you to do this for me.

It's just a 2 minute video.

It won't hurt you.

Open the door!

Julia!

I need you to help me!

Holt watched it.

We've all watched it.

Open the door!

You're not real.

You're not real!

I win b*tch!

No!

What happened

What happened?

Tell me you didn't watch it!

- Tell me!

- She's dead...

Hello!

Uh..Gabriel sent me.

I'm supposed to watch you video.

Hello!

Gabriel..Gabriel...

Do you know about Sky?

I know, someone put a picture of her online.

Everyone's dropping out.

Wait...

Wait, Do I still have a tail?

Gabriel?

Is someone still watching for me?

I'm gonna find you

someone I promise.

Just stay where you are.

Who was that?

It was Gabriel.

Everything is gonna be fine.

That's what he told Sky.

Listen, Julia...

I'm really sorry that

you had to see that.

But I can't let you get

caught up in this.

I think it's a little too late for that.

I watched it.

12 hours after Sky.

We were supposed to help each other

through it.

Help each other?

Yeah.

- So you are in her?

- No!

Gabriel said

A few of us gonna be chosen

for this experiment.

If you just heard the way

he described it...

That we could prove the existence of a soul.

Of life after death.

I know, it sounds crazy, but...

I'm just confused...

The tape is the doorway to the other side.

Then why did she die?

You have 7 days

before you die.

You just have to watch the tape

and make a copy...

and show it to someone else,

and then you're fine.

Gabriel calls it, "A tail".

A "Tail" that didn't show.

So you're supposed to pass on a

death sentence to someone else?

How could you get involved in this?

Please...

Whatever you are...

Leave him alone.

7 days.

Jules, what did you do?

I saw something.

There was a room.

A door.

- Yeah?

- It's Gabriel.

Holt, listen, I've got a

tail for you.

It's not for me anymore.

You know why, I wasn't answering

your calls right?

It was to protect you from this.

Gabriel had a solution for me.

It would have been fine

I would be fine.

The I'll be fine too.

Jules!

What happened?

A bird...

It was a bird.

Julia!

see?

I told you there was a bird!

But I saw it.

So, you watched the tape?

I dismissed self-sacrifice

as popular myth.

Holt was running out of time.

It was the only way to save him.

Anyone would have done it.
