Short filmTranscript
00:00My mom calls me a liar. She's called me that since birth, but I don't actually tell lies.
00:05It's because of this on my ankle. A lie detector ankle monitor.
00:08Mom is obsessed with scientific parenting. She strapped these on me and my twin Zoe.
00:13Green light means truth. Red light means lie. Zoe's light is always green. She's the perfect child.
00:21A jolt of electricity shot through my ankle. I groaned, the pen slipping from my hand.
00:27Mom!
00:30Mom entered the room. Her teeth clenched, eyes red-rimmed.
00:33Turned red again.
00:35Mom glanced at me coldly, slamming the scientific parenting guide she was holding onto the table.
00:39What's the act for? You're only worthy to eat when the green light is on.
00:44My stomach churned acid reflux. I saw Zoe secretly laughing at the table. Her ankle was forever shrouded in a
00:51green glow.
00:52I saw Zoe rudging through the bedside table yesterday.
00:55Zoe hugged her mother.
00:57Mom! I'm just going to get some water.
01:00Her ankle was blindingly green. My darling's ankle is blowing green. How could she lie?
01:08I stared at the red light on my ankle. It was like an ugly heart ready to burst. Mom stroked
01:13Zoe's head.
01:15That's science. Lies glow, Ava. You'll never learn.
01:21The New Year's bells began to toll in the distance. She sneaked out at night to date, said used condoms
01:28were just a prank by others.
01:30Mom, that's my friend's ewers joke.
01:32Her ankle always glows bright green. It's pure truth.
01:36But for me, Mom, I'm hungry.
01:39Beep! Red light! The monitor's electric shock stung me. Then, Mom would punish me for the red light. Her punishments
01:47are brutal. When that red light hits, I'm locked away.
01:51No food, no school, no phone. Just me and four empty walls.
01:57The machine doesn't lie, Ava. I want these punishments to teach you how to be honest. I'm doing this for
02:04your own good.
02:05For 14 years, I believed her. I thought my own blood was dishonest. But then, New Year's Eve, everything started
02:12to fall apart.
02:13New Year's Eve, everything started to fall apart. Mom was getting Zoe ready for Times Square. We're going to see
02:20the New Year's fireworks.
02:21Suddenly, a sharp pain hit me. It felt like knives in my stomach.
02:25I collapsed onto the floor. Everything hurt so much.
02:29Mom, help me! I'm in pain!
02:31The monitor flashed a cold red light. Mom looked down at me with disgust.
02:35Nice try, Ava. Faking sick to ruin our night? You're delusional.
02:40She grabbed Zoe's hand and walked out. I wanted to scream for help, but a voice inside said she was
02:45right.
02:46The light is red. I must be lying. I'm not actually sick. Sorry, Mom. I won't lie again.
02:54But the pain only got worse. It was unbearable.
02:57Suddenly, someone opened the door.
03:00Suddenly, someone opened the door.
03:02I thought Mom was back. She's a doctor. She can fix this.
03:06Hurry up! The fireworks are starting!
03:08Please. I feel so sick.
03:12Zola is waiting outside.
03:13I think I'm dying.
03:15She looked at my ankle monitor. Red light, flashing like crazy.
03:19She knelt and grabbed my chin.
03:22How much longer, Ava? Can't you just stop lying? Stay here until you learn your lesson.
03:27Dad walked over and asked...
03:30Honey, should we leave her some food?
03:33Food? She stole so much money. Her school boyfriends can pay for her, too.
03:37She shoved me away in disgust. She wiped her hands like I was spilled.
03:40She won't go hungry.
03:42Lock the door. We'll talk when the light turns green.
03:46But what? You're too soft on her.
03:50Look at Zoe. Her light is always green.
03:53Ava is just a delusional liar.
03:55She needs strict discipline.
03:57But Mom was wrong from the start. I never stole anything.
04:01Zoe stole the money.
04:02Zoe always sneaks out to date.
04:04I tried to fight back before.
04:06I didn't take it!
04:08The light still flashed red.
04:10I was locked up for three days.
04:12Nothing but dry bread and water.
04:13Zoe peeked from behind the door.
04:15She rolled her eyes and gave me the finger.
04:17Bye-bye, weepy beach!
04:19We're going to the fireworks!
04:23The door slammed shut.
04:24The house fell silent.
04:26I was all alone.
04:27The pain was unbearable.
04:29But I kept thinking.
04:30Mom is right.
04:31The monitor on my ankle doesn't lie.
04:33It's flashing red.
04:34So, I must be lying.
04:36I'm not actually sick.
04:38I don't feel any pain.
04:39I crawled back to my desk.
04:41I had to write my apologies.
04:43That was Mom's rule.
04:44If the light is red, I write, I am a liar, 1,000 times.
04:48I am a liar.
04:49I am a liar.
04:50I opened a thick stack of notebooks.
04:53Every single page was filled with my apologies.
04:55But this time, I wanted to write the truth.
04:58My vision started to blur.
05:00Everything went dark.
05:01My hand kept shaking as I wrote,
05:03Mom, I really love you.
05:05It really hurts.
05:07Why won't you believe me?
05:08Just believe me this once.
05:10As I wrote the final word, the pain finally stopped.
05:14Everything felt light.
05:15I felt free.
05:17I looked down.
05:18I was floating in the air and slumped over that desk was my lifeless body.
05:23The monitor was still on my ankle, flashing that cold, heartless red light.
05:28Turns out, I was already dead.
05:30I heard laughter behind the door.
05:32Mom, Dad, and Zoe, they were back at the front door.
05:35The fireworks were amazing today, especially the smiley face one.
05:40It looked just like our little Zoe.
05:42Mom's voice sounded so warm.
05:43She never spoke to me like that.
05:46Mom.
05:47I tried to take their coats.
05:49I did this every single day.
05:50I tried to hug her, but my arms went right through her.
05:57I only touched thin air.
05:59She shivered from the cold.
06:01Why is it so frozen here?
06:03Is the heat even on?
06:05I stood there, frozen.
06:07I looked at my transparent hands.
06:09That's right.
06:10The dead can't touch the living.
06:12Should we check on Ava?
06:14She hasn't eaten anything.
06:16If Mom finds out I'm dead, will she be heartbroken?
06:21Will she regret how she treated me?
06:23She opened my bedroom door.
06:24What she saw made her gasp.
06:27She opened my bedroom door.
06:28Still mad at me?
06:29Do you think I'll carry you to bed?
06:31Ava, you're 14 years old.
06:33Not a six-year-old's child.
06:35Mom, I'm not kidding.
06:37I'm already dead.
06:38Look at me.
06:40Touch my body.
06:42I'm already cold and stiff.
06:44Zoe slipped into the room.
06:45She showed off her ankle monitor.
06:47Look, mine is still green.
06:49Ava's is still flashing red.
06:50She's even lying in her sleep.
06:52Mom patted Zoe's head.
06:53You're my good girl.
06:55Ignore your liar sister.
06:57Let her sleep at her desk.
06:59Maybe she'll learn her lesson.
07:00Dad sighed.
07:01Should we at least put her in bed?
07:02It's freezing in here.
07:04Carry her to bed?
07:06The experts say we must be strict.
07:07Look at that red light.
07:09She's a headache even when she's asleep.
07:11Let's go.
07:11We're seeing Grandma tomorrow.
07:13The door slammed shut again.
07:14I floated back to my body.
07:16I stared at the only red light in the dark.
07:20Mom, if you just stepped closer, if you just touched my hand, you'd feel how ice cold I am.
07:26But you did nothing.
07:27A mouse crawled out from the corner.
07:29Before, I would have screamed and run away.
07:32But now, I'm just a floating ghost.
07:34I just watched it crawl over my body.
07:36It took a bite of my finger.
07:37It's okay.
07:38You'll never feel pain again.
07:40It's finally over.
07:41The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window.
07:44But it couldn't warm my cold body.
07:46In the kitchen, I heard Mom making breakfast.
07:49The smell of pancakes drifted in.
07:51That was always my favorite.
07:52But Mom said,
07:53Liars don't get treats.
07:54You only got leftovers.
07:57She clattered the dishes loudly.
07:59She was trying to force me out.
08:00She wanted me to beg for forgiveness.
08:02To apologize for things I never did.
08:04In the past, I would have given in.
08:07But now, I'll never be hungry again.
08:10Is Ava still in her room?
08:11Is Ava still in her room?
08:13He didn't even look up from his paper.
08:15Mom slammed a plate down.
08:18That girl is so stubborn.
08:20If she doesn't eat, I don't care.
08:23Zoe walked to my door.
08:24She sniffed the air and made a face.
08:26Then she started screaming.
08:27Mom, it smells gross here.
08:29Did she poop on the floor?
08:32Mom rushed over and pounded on the door.
08:34Ava!
08:34Are you an animal?
08:36The bathroom is right there.
08:38Are you doing this just to spite me?
08:40I remember when I was seven.
08:41I had food poisoning.
08:43I couldn't make it to the bathroom.
08:44Pooped on my pants.
08:45Mom didn't help me clean up.
08:47Instead, she made me stand in the yard.
08:49She let all the neighbors see my mess.
08:51Look at her!
08:51She's disgusting!
08:52She can't even use a toilet!
08:54Now she thinks I'm a dirty child again.
08:56Just leave her alone.
08:58She waved her hand like she was shooing a fly.
09:00Let her rot in her own filth.
09:02But Dad finally stood up.
09:04He frowned at my bedroom door.
09:06That smell is way too strong.
09:08I need to see what's going on.
09:10Maybe it's a dead rat or something.
09:11Dad!
09:12Please!
09:13Open the door!
09:15I'm right there!
09:17I waved my transparent arms hopelessly.
09:20Dad reached for the doorknob.
09:21Dad reached for the doorknob.
09:23His phone rang.
09:24Dad hurried to answer it.
09:25What?
09:26The warehouse is flooded?
09:28Fine, I'm on my way.
09:29Dad hung up the phone.
09:30Honey, there's an emergency at work.
09:32I have to go out of town for a few days.
09:34Wait, what about Ava?
09:35But Dad was already out the door.
09:37If that call had been a few seconds later, they would have found me.
09:41Maybe I wouldn't have to rot alone here.
09:43That afternoon, Mom took Zoe shopping.
09:46The house was empty, except for my body.
09:49When they came back that night, they had bags of steak and cloths.
09:53The smell in the house was getting worse.
09:55Mom gagged as she walked in.
09:58Ava, are you trying to kill us with this smell?
10:01She didn't even want to open my door.
10:02She grabbed a roll of duct tape.
10:05If you want to be stinky, then fine.
10:08Don't ruin my house.
10:10Stay in your own filth.
10:12She sealed every gap around my door.
10:14She looked at the taped door with satisfaction.
10:16Then she went to cook a steak dinner.
10:19I stood there by the taped up door.
10:21My last bit of hope for my mother vanished with that tape.
10:26By the third day after I died, even the tape couldn't hide the smell of a corpse.
10:32Mom bought a huge bunch of fresh flowers.
10:34She tried to drown out the scent with perfume.
10:37But the smell of death was everywhere.
10:42Rotten.
10:43Greasy.
10:43The metallic smell of blood.
10:46She was careless while cutting the roses.
10:48A thorn pricked her finger.
10:50She slammed the flowers onto the floor.
10:53Ava!
10:54Mom grabbed a kitchen knife.
10:56She stormed toward my door.
10:57I've had enough!
10:58You disgusting little jerk!
11:00It's time you learned what a beating feels like!
11:03I started to cry.
11:04Mom, don't go in.
11:06Please.
11:09My body is rotting.
11:14It's going to haunt you.
11:16Even though she never loved me.
11:17I didn't want her to see me like that.
11:20But she ripped off the tape.
11:22She unlocked my door.
11:24Bang!
11:25The door flew open.
11:26The stench hit her like a grenade.
11:27She stumbled back, gagged.
11:29Ava!
11:30What on earth are you doing?
11:33I'm slumped over the desk.
11:35Still as a statue for three days.
11:37Perfectly motionless.
11:38To her, this is just another silent protest.
11:42Are you deaf?
11:43Still playing dead?
11:45She's blinded by pure rage.
11:47She raises the kitchen knife.
11:48She wants to look me in the eye.
11:50Get up!
11:52She grabs the back of my collar.
11:54Her fingers dig into my neck.
11:55Then, she freezes.
11:57Time stands still.
11:58She doesn't feel warm skin.
12:00Instead, she feels something hard.
12:02Like a slab of frozen meat.
12:03It's a bone-chilling cold.
12:05There is no life left.
12:08She's confused, but she pulls hard.
12:11My body is stiff like a statue.
12:13I topple backward.
12:14The chair hits the floor.
12:16Thud.
12:22Ava.
12:28And finally, my messy hair covered my face.
12:31Dried blood and foam stained my lips.
12:33On my blackened ankle, that lie detector cuff still hangs there.
12:38The skin is charred and blackened by shocks.
12:40The rubber has melted into my very flesh.
12:43No more flashes of red.
12:45No more flickers of green.
12:47Only the heavy, hollow silence of death remains.
12:50Thud.
12:52My notebook slides across the cold floor.
12:54It comes to rest right at Mother's feet.
12:57The jagged, messy handwriting cuts like a blade.
13:00Mom.
13:01My stomach.
13:02It really hurts.
13:03The monitor is broken.
13:05I'm telling the truth.
13:06Please, don't shock me anymore.
13:09A horrific soul-wripping scream shatters the air.
13:11Dream?
13:13Mother recoils, slamming into the bookstore.
13:15Liza's shot in the rain.
13:17Liza's shot in the rain.
13:18No.
13:19This can't be real.
13:20You're acting, Ava.
13:22This is just another one of your tricks.
13:25Get up right now.
13:26I'm not even angry anymore.
13:27She reaches out, her fingers trembling as she tries to rouse me, but my skin is a hollow,
13:33biting frost.
13:34She jerks back as if the cold itself had burned her.
13:37The wail of sirens drowns out from me.
13:40Flickering emergency lights dance morbidly across my pale remains.
13:44Mother is a frantic mess, babbling to the officers.
13:48She's faking!
13:49She's been a liar her whole life!
13:52The machine doesn't lie!
13:54It never lies!
13:55The medical examiner sighs.
13:57Attempting to shift my weight, but the ankle monitor has become one with my body.
14:02Damn it!
14:04She tears the stubborn rubber from my cooling flesh.
14:06Even as a ghost, I feel my soul shudder in agony.
14:10The lead officer retrieves my notebook from the dust.
14:13His face drains of color, replaced by a cold fury.
14:16Mother lunges forward, her eyes wild with desperation.
14:20That's her confession!
14:21She admitted everything there!
14:23The officer shoves her back with a cold, firm hand.
14:26Dad rushes through the door only to freeze at the sight of the black body bag.
14:30He collapses, his dignity vanishing in a pool of his own fear.
14:34My little sister says to her, who was telling me?
14:38Mom, why is Ava's ankle monitor so dark?
14:42Look!
14:42Mine is still green!
14:44The green light pulses softly in the dim hallway.
14:47What cruel irony.
14:48Mother is spiraling into a frantic, jagged desperation.
14:52Check the monitor!
14:53It proves everything!
14:56I only shocked her when it turned red!
15:00That wasn't abuse!
15:01That was discipline!
15:05Driven by a delusional need to prove she isn't a killer, she makes a move born of pure insanity.
15:12I'll wear it myself.
15:13I'll show you how it works.
15:14She snatches up the monitor, still stained with my drying blood.
15:17She forces the cold metal onto her own ankle.
15:21Click.
15:22My blood smears across her skin like a silent accusation.
15:26Mother takes a jagged, trembling breath.
15:28My name is Ellie.
15:30I am Ava's mother.
15:32It is the absolute undeniable truth.
15:36And yet, a piercing, mechanical shriek shatters the room.
15:41The red light explodes into life.
15:44It's a blinding, visceral crimson, the color of fresh blood.
15:48It glares back at her like a vengeful eye.
15:51Mother freezes.
15:52The smug confidence on her face turns to stone.
15:55She frantically bangs on the ankle monitor.
15:57Is it broken?
15:58What's happening?
15:59I'm telling the truth!
16:00My name is Ellie!
16:01Panic starts to claw at her throat.
16:03The medical examiner must have broken it!
16:06Let me try again.
16:07Just one more time!
16:09She swallows hard, her voice cracking as she screams.
16:12I never abused my daughter.
16:15Everything I did was for her own good.
16:18I love her!
16:20The red light pulses like a frantic heartbeat.
16:23Her pulse is racing too fast, triggering the safety protocol.
16:28Mother shudders as the electricity tears through her.
16:32She gasps.
16:32It hurts!
16:33Even that tiny shock sends chills down her spine.
16:36She remembers when I was ten.
16:39She turned it to the maximum setting.
16:41I had curled into a ball on the cold floor.
16:43I bit my lip until it bled, just so I wouldn't scream.
16:47Only now, as she trembles on the floor, does she finally know it really hurts that much.
16:54Mother loses it completely.
16:57Why is it red?
16:59Why?
16:59I'm telling the truth!
17:00Turn green!
17:01Turn green!
17:02You stupid machine!
17:03You're framing me!
17:04But the light just keeps pulsing a frantic, mocking crimson.
17:08It says,
17:10Liar.
17:11Liar.
17:12Liar.
17:12Enough!
17:13Stop trying.
17:14You're only making it worse.
17:15He slams a technical manual onto the table.
17:17This thing isn't a lie detector.
17:19It never was.
17:19It's a biometric heart rate monitor.
17:21Red doesn't mean lie.
17:23Red means fear, pain, anxiety.
17:25Now your heart is racing because you're terrified.
17:28Of course, it's red.
17:30He leans in, his shadow looming over her.
17:33Think about your daughter, Ava.
17:35She had a ruptured appendix.
17:37Do you have any idea what that feels like?
17:39It is an agonizing internal torture.
17:41She was dying in front of you!
17:42But in your eyes, the more she suffered, the more you thought she was lying.
17:46So you cranked up the voltage.
17:47Pain made the light burn brighter, and the light made you shock her harder.
17:51You literally electrocuted her to death because she was in pain.
17:55Mother's entire world shatters into silence.
17:58Mother screams in agony.
18:00She claws at the monitor.
18:02Get it off!
18:03Take it off me!
18:04I'm not a liar!
18:06I'm not!
18:07The lock is jammed tight.
18:08It's fused to her skin forever.
18:10It won't budge!
18:11I can't breathe!
18:13Ava!
18:14Stop this!
18:14I was wrong!
18:16It hurts!
18:17It hurts too much!
18:19Can't handle the pain, Mom.
18:20I endured this for 14 years.
18:23The officer opens my diary.
18:2514 years of blood and tears.
18:28Her voice is soft but heavy.
18:29February 14th.
18:32Sunny.
18:32Mom gave me celery.
18:34I'm allergic.
18:35My throat swelled up.
18:36No air.
18:36I was terrified.
18:37My heart raced.
18:38The red light turned on.
18:39Mom called me a liar.
18:40She forced me to eat it all.
18:42I threw up blood that night.
18:43She thought it was tomato juice.
18:44She shocked me 10 more minutes.
18:47Mother begins to shake uncontrollably.
18:49She never even looked at me.
18:51It wasn't juice.
18:52It was blood.
18:53The officer turns the page.
18:55June 1st.
18:56Children's Day.
18:57Zoe ruined Mom's favorite dress.
18:59Zoe was calm.
18:59Her light stayed green.
19:01I was terrified.
19:02Mine was solid red.
19:03Mom shocked me at level 5.
19:05I didn't dare to cry.
19:07Crying makes my heart beat faster.
19:08Then she would shock me harder.
19:10Dad can't take it anymore.
19:12The man who ignored me for years.
19:14He hits Mom across the face.
19:16You monster!
19:17He screams.
19:18That was your daughter, not an animal!
19:20It was Zoe!
19:21It was Zoe's fault!
19:22Her light was always green!
19:24I trusted that light!
19:26The police walk toward my sister.
19:30They rip off her green monitor.
19:32They crack it open with a screwdriver.
19:37Crack!
19:38No sensors.
19:39No heart monitor.
19:41Just two cheap light bulbs and a couple of batteries.
19:45It's wired to stay green forever.
19:48It's a $2 plastic toy.
19:50With this video, love to see your thoughts on a light of a discount.
19:50TEST.
