00:00Mom was obsessed with science-based parenting.
00:03So when my twin sister Mia and I were born,
00:05she strapped truth bands on us.
00:07Green light meant truth.
00:08Red light meant a lie.
00:10But Mia's band, always green, even when she lied.
00:18Mia!
00:19What are you doing?
00:20Mom!
00:24What?
00:26Lily!
00:27Was it you?
00:27I saw her, Mom. It's Lily.
00:30No! Not me! Look! It was Mika!
00:36Mom, please! It wasn't me, I swear!
00:39Mom, Lily's lying. Look, my band green. I'm telling the truth.
00:43I know, sweetie. Tech doesn't lie.
00:45You're an honest girl, and she's full of it.
00:49You broke it and tried to pin it on Mia.
00:51Bad behavior has a price, Lily.
00:53No, Mom. I'm sorry. Please don't...
00:59Mom!
01:00Mom!
01:05Mom!
01:07I swear...
01:08It wasn't me.
01:11Clean it up. Every single piece.
01:13Or you don't eat today.
01:15I'm Mommy's favorite daughter.
01:26Mom, I wasn't lying. Why don't you believe me?
01:31I think it's really good.
01:33It is.
01:39No treats for liars. You get the greens. Here you go, sweetie. Your favorite.
01:46Thank you, Mom. I love you.
01:49But, Mom, these make my stomach hurt like it's burning. Do I have to, please?
01:55So, you mean you're allergic to broccoli now?
02:01Show me your band.
02:02Show me!
02:07It's red! Lily's lying again!
02:09I knew it, Lily. Why can't you just be honest like Mia?
02:11No, Mom. I'm not lying. I promise it's true.
02:17I'm not...
02:18Enough! Eat it! Every single bite! I am so sick of your lies!
02:22She doesn't want to eat. Just leave it.
02:24Are you serious, Eric?
02:25The band is red!
02:26She's lying to us!
02:27No wonder Lily's turned out so bad.
02:30This is all your fault!
02:31Evelyn, are you serious?
02:33You're always too indulgent with her. No wonder she's so disobedient!
02:36Indulgent? I'm just trying to give her a happy child.
02:38Lily! This is all your fault! You made them fight!
02:42Mom! Dad! Stop! I'm sorry! I'll eat it! I'll be good!
02:49I told you she was faking. She's completely fine.
02:53I can't say anything else. If I do, they'll just start fighting again.
03:01Mom! Hurry! I don't want to miss the fireworks!
03:03Lily! What are you doing? Hurry up!
03:06Mom, I think I'm gonna puke. My stomach is killing me.
03:10Mom, I think I'm allergic.
03:12Give it a rest, Lily.
03:15Please. Mom, I need a doctor.
03:19You mean it?
03:20Lily! Where's your truth band?
03:23Wait. You took it off? Are you trying to cover it up?
03:26No. I was just washing my hands.
03:37Okay. The stomach ache. Truth or lie?
03:42It's true.
03:46Unbelievable! You're faking being sick just for attention?
03:50Mom, I'm telling the truth!
03:57It hurts! Mom! Mom! Please stop!
04:01Payne is a good teacher. You're grounded.
04:03Stay in your room until that band turns green.
04:10Mom, help.
04:15Mommy, did you come to save me?
04:18I almost forgot Mia's gloves.
04:26You done yet? You really have to ruin tonight?
04:29I'm not lying, Mom.
04:31She's pale. Maybe we should take her to the-
04:33Impressive, isn't it? Give her an Oscar already.
04:36Too bad the data says she's full of it.
04:38Fine. Let's just go.
04:41Mom, don't go! Mom, don't go! Mom!
04:48Mom! Mom! Mom!
04:51You stay put. Don't you dare come out until that light changes.
04:56Mommy, please. I'm really hurting. It feels like I'm dying.
05:02Okay. Then go ahead.
05:06You're such a disappointment, Lily.
05:15All right, everyone. Let's go.
05:18We are not letting her ruin New Year's Eve.
05:21Finally! Fireworks!
05:26Mom! Help!
05:28Mom is right. I must be lying. I'm not really in pain.
05:32I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.
05:34I need to write my apology or Mommy will be angrier.
05:39I'm sorry. I'm a liar. I messed up.
05:43But it hurts so bad.
05:46I wasn't lying, really.
05:49Mom, why don't you believe me?
05:53Are you sure Lily's okay?
05:54It's an act, Eric. Seriously, who's allergic to broccoli?
05:58Ten seconds!
06:00Five, four, three, two, one!
06:08It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm cured.
06:13I'm... dead?
06:15Mom, I'm really dead now. I wasn't lying.
06:19Can you forgive me now?
06:21Those fireworks were gorgeous. Especially the smiley faces. Just like my little Mia.
06:27Mom, I'll be a good girl. I promise. Just don't be mad at me, okay?
06:33Jesus! Did we leave a window open? Freezing in here.
06:37I'm sorry, Mommy. I forgot. I'm already dead.
06:42I'm sure Lily's learned her lesson by now. Just let her out.
06:45She better.
06:46If Mom finds out I'm dead, will she be sad? Will she regret it?
06:55Oh, wow. Nice try. What, you think playing dead's gonna get you a free ride to bed?
07:01Lily, you are ten! Not five! Act like it!
07:05Mom! I'm dead! Look at me! Touch me! I'm not breathing!
07:11Ugh, a professional sleeper. Still lying.
07:15I swear. She even lies in her sleep. See? Mine is green. Hers is still red. Typical.
07:21That's my good girl. Let her stay like that. Fine by me.
07:26Let's just put her in bed, Evelyn. It's way too cold to leave her at the desk.
07:30Why? So she can think she won this little standoff? Look at that light! She's still throwing a mental tantrum
07:36-um.
07:36I'm done. It's bedtime. We're visiting Grandma tomorrow.
07:43Mom, if you'd just come a little closer, if you'd just reached for my hand, you'd have felt it.
07:49I was already cold. If you never loved me, why have me at all?
07:58That's my favorite! Mom, is that for me?
08:05Mia! You're bacon and eggs!
08:08Liars don't deserve a nice breakfast.
08:10Mom, I'm dead. I don't need food anymore.
08:14Lily's still in there? She's gotta be starving.
08:16She's spoiled. Let her. She needs to learn that her tricks don't work on me.
08:20Mom, Lily's room smells gross. Did she poop in there or something?
08:25What?
08:26Now Mom's going to hate me even more.
08:29Look at her! She actually sat in her own mess!
08:32Unbelievable! What a filthy girl!
08:40Lily! The bathroom is right down the hall! What is wrong with you?
08:44Evelyn, maybe we should just check.
08:47Not gonna happen. Let her sit in that stink. It's the only way she'll learn.
08:53We should really check. What if there's a dead rat in the vents?
08:57Open it, Dad! Please! I didn't soil myself. I'm dead. Don't make Mom hate me even more.
09:09What? Servers are down? Yeah, yeah, I'm on my way.
09:13Evie, massive emergency at work. Gotta go. Might be stuck there a few days. I'll call you when I can.
09:18Wait, but what about Lily?
09:19So close. They were so close to finding my body.
09:24Mommy, Lily stinks! She's gross!
09:27I swear to God she won't win this.
09:29You like the smell? Keep it to yourself! You're not stinking up my house!
09:33Mom, no! At least look at me! Do you actually hate me?
09:38Come on, sweetie. Let's go to Grandma's.
09:42Oh, look at you.
09:45Mom is smiling. She never smiles like that when I'm around.
09:50Maybe it's better this way. I won't ever bother you again, Mom.
09:56So many new clothes! I only ever get Mia's hand-me-downs.
10:01All packed, Mia?
10:02Yep. Three days' worth. All folded.
10:05You're going on a trip.
10:07Yes! They're leaving! They have to check on me now! They'll find me!
10:16Mom! You forgot me! I'm still in there! Hey! Look at me!
10:21Mom, Lily's still stinking up her room. Should we let her out to shower?
10:25Not my problem. Your dad can let her out when he gets home tonight.
10:29Come on, let's go.
10:31Mom, wait! Dad said he's gone for days!
10:38Mom!
10:42Why? Why can't I leave?
10:45Mom! Don't leave me here! Mom!
10:49Mom!
10:51Someone, please find me!
10:58Snowball? Is that you?
11:01It is you!
11:02Wait, you can see me?
11:07No way! You can feel me too?
11:10That's amazing!
11:14I thought Mom sent you to the shelter.
11:18Give me the dog!
11:20Mommy! Snowball really didn't bite anyone!
11:24Mia is lying!
11:28Give me the dog!
11:37Mom!
11:39Mom, please! Don't send him away!
11:43Mom!

11:53And if no one finds me soon, I'm toast!
11:56Go! Get help!
