Sarah Michelle Gellar is taking quite the serious turn in Veronika Decides to Die.
She co-stars in the indie drama with Melissa Leo as a patient in a mental institution who decides to commit suicide after her pyschiatrist (David Thewlis) reveals she only has week to live.
Only E! News has this exclusive clip showing the former Buffy the Vampire Slayer star asking another patient (Leo) for help in scoring some fatal pills.
"I want to die on my own terms," Gellar says.
Leo motions to two staffers in an office at the bottom of the stairs.
"When those two geniuses switch off shifts at the end of the day at dinnertime around 7, there's usually a moment when that door is unwatched," Leo says.
"I don't understand," Gellar says.
Before walking away, Leo explains, "The medicine closet."
Directed by Emily Young, the film also features Justified actor Jonathan Tucker and Parenthood's Erika Christensen.
Veronika Decides to Die is in theaters and on VOD today.
