Transcript
00:01Mom was obsessed with science-based parenting.
00:04So when my twin sister Mia and I were born, she strapped truth bands on us.
00:08Green light meant truth. Red light meant a lie.
00:12But Mia's band, always green, even when she lied.
00:19Mia! What are you doing?
00:22Mom!
00:26What?
00:28Lily! Was it you?
00:29I saw her, Mom. It's Lily.
00:32No! Not me! Look! It was Mika!
00:38Mom, please! It wasn't me, I swear!
00:41Mom, Lily's lying. Look, my band green. I'm telling the truth.
00:45I know, sweetie. Tech doesn't lie. You're an honest girl, and she's full of it.
00:51You broke it and tried to pin it on Mia. Bad behavior has a price, Lily.
00:55No, Mom. I'm sorry. Please don't...
00:57Ah!
00:59Bad behavior has a price, Lily.
01:02No, Mom. I'm sorry. Please don't...
01:05Ah!
01:08Mom...
01:09I swear...
01:11It wasn't me.
01:13Clean it up. Every single piece.
01:15Or you don't eat today.
01:18I'm Mommy's favorite daughter.
01:28Mom, I wasn't lying. Why don't you believe me?
01:34I think it's really good.
01:36It is.
01:42No treats for liars. You get the greens. Here you go, sweetie. Your favorite.
01:48Thank you, Mom. I love you.
01:52But, Mom, these make my stomach hurt like it's burning. Do I have to, please?
01:58So, you mean you're allergic to broccoli now?
02:04Show me your band.
02:06Show me!
02:10It's red! Lily's lying again!
02:12I knew it, Lily. Why can't you just be honest like Mia?
02:14No, Mom. I'm not lying. I promise it's true.
02:20I'm not...
02:21Enough! Eat it! Every single bite. I am so sick of your lies.
02:26She doesn't want to eat. Just leave it.
02:27Are you serious, Eric?
02:28The band is red.
02:29She's lying to us.
02:31No wonder Lily's turned out so bad.
02:33This is all your fault.
02:35Evelyn, are you serious?
02:36You're always too indulgent with her. No wonder she's so disobedient.
02:40Indulgent? I'm just trying to give her a half.
02:42Lily, this is all your fault. You made them fight.
02:45Mom, Dad, stop. I'm sorry.
02:48I'll eat it. I'll be good.
02:53I told you she was faking. She's completely fine.
02:57I can't say anything else.
02:58If I do, they'll just start fighting again.
03:04Mom, hurry! I don't want to miss the fireworks!
03:07Lily, what are you doing? Hurry up!
03:10Mom, I think I'm going to puke.
03:12My stomach is killing me.
03:14Mom, I think I'm allergic.
03:16Give it a rest, Lily.
03:19Please. Mom, I need a doctor.
03:23You mean it?
03:24Lily, where's your truth band?
03:27Wait, you took it off? Are you trying to cover it up?
03:30No. I was just washing my hands.
03:41Okay, the stomach ache. Truth or lie?
03:46It's true.
03:50Unbelievable! You're faking being sick just for attention?
03:55Mom, I'm telling the truth!
04:02It hurts! Mom! Mom! Please stop!
04:05Pain is a good teacher. You're grounded.
04:08Stay in your room until that band turns green.
04:13Mom.
04:15Mom.
04:15Help.
04:20Mommy, did you come to save me?
04:27Almost forgot Mia's gloves.
04:31You done yet?
04:32You really have to ruin tonight?
04:34I'm not lying, Mom.
04:36She's pale. Maybe we should take her to the-
04:38Impressive, isn't it? Give her an Oscar already.
04:41Too bad the data says she's full of it.
04:43Fine. Let's just go.
04:46Mom, don't go!
04:47Mom, don't go!
04:53Mom!
04:54Mom! Mom!
04:57Mom!
04:57You stay put. Don't you dare come out until that light changes.
05:01Mommy, please.
05:04I'm really hurting. It feels like I'm dying.
05:08Okay. Then go ahead.
05:12You're such a disappointment, Lily.
05:21All right, everyone. Let's go.
05:23We are not letting her ruin New Year's Eve.
05:26Finally! Fireworks!
05:32Mom! Help!
05:34Mom is right. I must be lying. I'm not really in pain.
05:38I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.
05:40I need to write my apology, or Mommy will be angrier.
05:45I'm sorry. I'm a liar. I messed up.
05:49But it hurts so bad!
05:52I wasn't lying, really!
05:55Mom, why don't you believe me?
05:59Are you sure Lily's okay?
06:00It's an act, Eric. Seriously, who's allergic to broccoli?
06:04Ten seconds!
06:07Five, four, three, two, one!
06:11Yes!
06:15It doesn't hurt anymore!
06:17I'm cured!
06:19I'm... dead?
06:21Mom, I'm really dead now.
06:24I wasn't lying.
06:26Can you forgive me now?
06:28Those fireworks were gorgeous.
06:30Especially the smiley faces.
06:32Just like my little Mia.
06:34Mom, I'll be a good girl, I promise.
06:37Just don't be mad at me, okay?
06:40Jesus!
06:41Did we leave a window open? Freezing in here.
06:43I'm sorry, Mommy. I forgot.
06:46I'm already dead.
06:49I'm sure Lily's learned her lesson by now.
06:51Just let her out.
06:52She better.
06:53If Mom finds out I'm dead, will she be sad?
06:57Will she regret it?
07:02Oh, wow. Nice try. What, you think playing dead's gonna get you a free ride to bed?
07:08Lily, you are ten! Not five! Act like it!
07:12Mom! I'm dead! Look at me! Touch me! I'm not breathing!
07:18Ugh, a professional sleeper. Still lying.
07:22I swear. She even lies in her sleep.
07:25See? Mine is green. Hers is still red. Typical.
07:29That's my good girl. Let her stay like that.
07:32Fine by me.
07:34Let's just put her in bed, Evelyn.
07:36It's way too cold to leave her at the desk.
07:38Why? So she can think she won this little standoff?
07:40Look at that light! She's still throwing a mental tantrum-um.
07:44I'm done. It's bedtime.
07:46We're visiting Grandma tomorrow.
07:50Mom, if you'd just come a little closer,
07:53if you'd just reached for my hand, you'd have felt it.
07:57I was already cold.
07:58If you never loved me, why have me at all?
08:06That's my favorite! Mom, is that for me?
08:13Mia! You're bacon and eggs!
08:16Liars don't deserve a nice breakfast.
08:18Mom, I'm dead. I don't need food anymore.
08:22Lily's still in there? She's gotta be starving.
08:24She's spoiled. Let her.
08:26She needs to learn that her tricks don't work on me.
08:28Mom! Lily's room smells gross!
08:31Did she poop in there or something?
08:33What?
08:34Now Mom's going to hate me even more.
08:37Look at her! She actually sat in her own mess!
08:40Unbelievable! What a filthy girl!
08:49Lily! The bathroom is right down the hall!
08:52What is wrong with you?
08:53Evelyn, maybe we should just check.
08:56Not gonna happen. Let her sit in that stink.
08:59It's the only way she'll learn.
09:02We should really check.
09:04What if there's a dead rat in the vents?
09:06Open it, Dad! Please!
09:08I didn't soil myself. I'm dead.
09:11Don't make Mom hate me even more.
09:18What? Servers are down?
09:19Yeah, yeah, I'm on my way.
09:22Evie! Massive emergency at work. Gotta go.
09:25Might be stuck there a few days. I'll call you when I can.
09:27Wait, but what about Lily?
09:28So close.
09:30They were so close to finding my body.
09:33Mommy, Lily stinks! She's gross!
09:36I swear to God, she won't win this.
09:38You like the smell? Keep it to yourself! You're not stinking up my house!
09:42Mom, no! At least look at me! Do you actually hate me?
09:48Come on, sweetie. Let's go to Grandma's.
09:51Oh, look at you.
09:55Mom is smiling. She never smiles like that when I'm around.
09:59Maybe it's better this way. I won't ever bother you again, Mom.
10:06So many new clothes. I only ever get Mia's hand-me-downs.
10:11All packed, Mia?
10:12Yep. Three days' worth. All folded.
10:15You're going on a trip.
10:17Yes! They're leaving! They have to check on me now! They'll find me!
10:26Mom! You forgot me! I'm still in there!
10:29Hey! Look at me!
10:31Mom, Lily's still stinking up her room. Should we let her out to shower?
10:35Not my problem. Your dad can let her out when he gets home tonight.
10:39Come on, let's go.
10:41Mom, wait! Dad said he's gone for days!
10:48Mom!
10:52Why? Why can't I leave?
10:55Mom! Don't leave me here! Mom!
10:59Mom!
11:02Someone please find me!
11:08Snowball? Is that you?
11:11It is you!
11:13Wait, you can see me?
11:17No way! You can feel me too?
11:21That's amazing!
11:24I thought...
11:26Mom sent you to the shelter.
11:29Give me the dog!
11:31Mommy! Snowball really didn't bite anyone!
11:35Mia is lying!
11:39Give me the dog!
11:48Mom!
11:50Mom!
11:50Mom, please!
11:52Don't send him away!
11:54Mom!
11:55Mom!
12:01Snowball, can you go get help? I'm trapped in there. And if no one finds me soon...
12:07I'm toast! Go! Get help!
12:09Mom!
12:10Mom!
12:13Mom!
12:15Mom!
12:17Mom!
12:18Snowball!
12:19You're dead too!
12:20Snowball, over here!
12:26At least we have each other.
12:37Snowball, go!
12:41Help!
12:42I'm going to eat my body!
12:44What do I do?
12:50Evelyn, you home?
12:53That smell, is that me?
12:59Susan?
13:03Susan, what are you...
13:05Jesus Christ, the smell!
13:08What died in here?
13:10It seemed to be coming from your porch.
13:13What?
13:15It's definitely Lily.
13:17She must have made another mess.
13:19She's... what?
13:21Susan, sorry. Seriously, just got back.
13:24I'll deal with it, okay?
13:26Alright. Let me know if you need anything.
13:29That girl has gone way too far this time.
13:34Evelyn?
13:37Ugh, what's that fung?
13:39Eric, are you really okay with this?
13:42Letting her turn our home into a lambsville?
13:44What are you talking about? I haven't been home in three days.
13:47What?
13:50About time.
13:53What?
13:54What is this?
13:56You locked her in for three days?
13:58No food?
13:59No water?
14:00Relax!
14:00She's completely fine.
14:02She stole my money, remember?
14:03Probably has a mountain of snacks in there.
14:05I didn't do it!
14:12Lily?
14:17Lily?
14:17Gross!
14:18Lily, what did you do?
14:21Lily?
14:21Hey!
14:22I'm talking to you!
14:23You hear me?
14:24What, we're playing dead now?
14:25Seriously?
14:26Get the hell up!
14:33Lily!
14:34Lily!
14:37Lily!
14:38Lily!
14:40Lily!
14:41Mommy, I told you.
14:43I wasn't lying.
14:44I proved it.
14:46Will you apologize to me now?
14:51No.
14:52No, this isn't real.
14:55What did you just say?
14:58She's faking.
15:00She has to be.
15:03Her truth band is red!
15:06You're crazy.
15:08You're fucking crazy!
15:10Mommy, even now that I'm dead, you still won't say sorry?
15:16Drop the axe, Lily!
15:17Get up!
15:18Get up!
15:19Get away from her!
15:20Don't stop pressing!
15:22Get away from her!
15:23Is everything okay?
15:24I heard...
15:36Officer, officer!
15:37Ma'am!
15:38She lied!
15:39She lies about everything!
15:41Just check the truth band!
15:43Truth band?
15:44You mean this?
15:45Right!
15:46Give it to me!
15:47It's gonna turn green.
15:49Just watch.
15:51Any second now.
15:52My name is Evelyn.
15:54I'm Lily's mother!
15:59Hell no.
16:01That's impossible.
16:03Now you know how it feels, Mom?
16:08Lily?
16:09Mom, you can see me?
16:12See?
16:13She's alive!
16:15I told you she was lying!
16:17Lily?
16:20I knew it!
16:21I knew you were just faking!
16:23You're not dead!
16:24You're not!
16:24Tell them, Lily!
16:25Tell these people I was only trying to help you!
16:28What the hell is wrong with you?
16:30That bags her!
16:31That...
16:32There's nobody there, Ev!
16:33Stop it!
16:36They can't see me, Mom.
16:39But then again,
16:40you never really looked, did you?
16:47Stop it!
16:49Hurt!
16:54Hurts, doesn't it?
16:55And that's just a spark.
16:57Imagine the dial all the way up.
16:59The way you liked it.
17:00I wasn't even allowed to whimper.
17:03You done already, Mom?
17:04Enough!
17:04This crap was never meant to catch lies!
17:08No!
17:10No, that's not right.
17:11The parenting guru he said was the best.
17:14It can't...
17:14It catches lies!
17:15Look at the damn words!
17:17It's a cheap-ass heart rate monitor.
17:20Ten bucks of plastic and sweat stencils.
17:24Then the light goes red.
17:25That's it!
17:26It's not a lie detector.
17:28It's a stress meter!
17:30You're full of it!
17:34You're all in on this!
17:35You just want to see me fail!
17:37Look at your wrist.
17:39Screaming red?
17:40What, are you lying to me right now?
17:41Or are you just scared of best?
17:44Christmas Eve, Mom.
17:46Remember?
17:47I was on the floor.
17:50Begging.
17:51But you only had eyes for that red glow.
17:54Think about her appendix, Evelyn.
17:56Imagine it bursting.
17:57Like a bomb in her gut.
18:00You saw her dying breath and called it a lie?
18:04You shocked her until her heart just gave out.
18:07You didn't just kill her.
18:10You murdered her.
18:12No!
18:12No, it wasn't me!
18:14I'm not a murderer!
18:19Get it off!
18:21It's burning!
18:22Please!
18:23Get it off!
18:28Feb 14.
18:29Sunny.
18:30Mom made me eat broccoli again.
18:33I told her I'm allergic.
18:35My throat gets all tight.
18:37I can't catch my breath.
18:45Tomato juice?
18:46Really?
18:47That's the best you can do?
18:48You're a hell of an actress, Lily.
18:51Makes me sick just looking at you.
18:55I was throwing up blood.
18:58My throat was on fire.
19:00Mom said I was faking.
19:02Then she zapped at me.
19:04For 10 minutes straight.
19:07I just wanted it to be over.
19:08It was, it was actual blood?
19:12Oh God, I didn't see it.
19:14I didn't know.
19:15You would have seen it, Mom.
19:16If you'd taken just one step.
19:18But you love that band more than me.
19:22June 1st.
19:24Happy Children's Day.
19:26Mia's tearing through the room.
19:27Mom's favorite antique vase goes spash.
19:30I tried to tell her.
19:32But the more I talked, the redder it got.
19:35Mom kept the current on.
19:36For 10 minutes.
19:37I didn't scream.
19:39Couldn't.
19:40My heart would spike in that red light.
19:42It just gets brighter.
19:44Mom said look at her.
19:45Not even a will.
19:47Must not hurt that much.
19:49You're a fucking monster.
19:51No.
19:51Even monsters care for their own.
19:53You sick, twisted bitch.
19:55Your own kid, Evelyn.
19:57Your own goddamn blood.
19:58How could you treat her like some lab rat?
20:0210 years, Dad.
20:03You played deaf, dumb, and blind for 10 years.
20:05Don't play the hero now.
20:06You're just swinging so the feds don't lock you up as her plus one.
20:14Not me!
20:15Don't you look at me!
20:16It was her!
20:17Mia did it!
20:18It was all her!
20:20Mommy, you're scaring me!
20:21It's not my fault!
20:22The wrist!
20:23Look at the light!
20:24It's green!
20:26Always green!
20:2710 years of bullshit!
20:29She played us all!
20:31She broke it!
20:32She set Lily up!
20:34Officer, you see?
20:35She manipulated me.
20:37I only believed the red because that little sociopath kept hers green.
20:41She's the liar!
20:43She's the reason Lily's dead!
20:46Cuff her!
20:47Do your damn job and cuff her!
20:49Poetic justice.
20:51The golden duo, ripping each other's throats out the second the house of cards collapses.
21:00Save the waterworks, kid.
21:01Let's see the arm.
21:03No, it's mine!
21:04Mommy said I'm the honest child!
21:06Don't touch me!
21:09Let's see what's under the hood of this miracle truth bar.
21:18Look at this garbage.
21:19A dummy circuit, some dime store LEDs, and a couple of button patteries.
21:23It's a flea market prize.
21:25Two bucks, max.
21:26This garbage was hardwired to stay green the second it left the factory.
21:30That kid could have lied through her teeth, could have committed murder, wouldn't matter!
21:33This garbage only knows one color!
21:35Funny, isn't it, Mom?
21:37Shocked the honest one until her heart gave out.
21:39But for a little liar, this piece of green garbage?
21:42She's your saint.
21:43Hell of a toy you had going here!
21:45A real goddamn joke!
21:47Fake.
21:48Oh, fake.
21:49I killed my honest girl over a toy!
21:51Just to protect a goddamn liar!
