Short filmTranscript
00:00I should have been an elite princess, yet liar is the only label I've ever been given.
00:06The girl next to me is my twin sister, Mia.
00:10We look exactly alike, but our fates are completely different.
00:17The truth circling, forged in abyss and fire.
00:21Only those who pass its test may rule the seas.
00:25The circuit chose me, and every queen before me.
00:29Now, it's your turn.
00:32Green means truth, blessed by the sea.
00:35Red means a lie.
00:36And mom will correct you, whatever it takes.
00:43Mia, what are you doing?
00:45This is mom's favorite night pearl.
00:49My night pearl!
00:51You did this?
00:52Not me!
00:53It was Elise!
00:55I saw her deliberately smash the night pearl!
01:02Go to the dark abyss to reflect on your actions until your truth list turns green again!
01:08Mia lied, but her circle-ins was green.
01:11I told the truth, yet my circle-ins was red.
01:15My mother chose to believe her, and punished me instead.
01:19Why did this happen?
01:21Mia, you're mom's most honest little girl.
01:24Don't let that little liar lead you astray.
01:26Don't worry, mom.
01:27I'll never lie to you.
01:30Mom didn't realize that no-what-whatter Mia said,
01:34her head's circlicals, was always green.
01:42Who took my pearl crown?
01:46I didn't see it.
01:54Elisa, is that you?
01:57Oh my gosh!
01:59She didn't come home all night?
02:05Mom?
02:06I just sent here to reflect on your actions, and you actually spent the night?
02:09Elise, why don't you take a cue from Mia and be an honest, straight-outward kid,
02:14instead of playing the victim all the time?
02:16I didn't.
02:18The palace gates were sealed last night, so I couldn't get in.
02:22You liar!
02:23I specifically told them to leave the door open for you last night.
02:30Open the door.
02:32It's so dark outside, mom.
02:34Please.
02:37Tonight, mom will tell me another story about the deep sea.
02:41Luckily, I deactivated the silencing magicircle this morning while everyone was still asleep.
02:47Mom, aren't we supposed to go explore the coral reefs?
02:50Quick, ask her where she hid the crown.
02:54Elisa, did you steal my pearl crown?
02:57A crown of pearls?
02:58No, I've been here the whole night.
03:05Look, mom!
03:06She's lying!
03:07You don't tell the truth about anything.
03:10Looks like your punishment wasn't severe enough.
03:13Come with me!
03:18Ah!
03:24And you say you didn't steal them?
03:26Where did these things come from?
03:28I don't know!
03:29That's Mia's basket, not mine!
03:37Daddy, save me!
03:39Come on, honey.
03:40We have to go patrol the coral sea.
03:42Just look at her circlets.
03:44She's nothing but lies these days.
03:45If she isn't taught a lesson soon, she'll bring utter disgrace upon the royal family.
03:50Oh, dear.
03:51Just listen to your mother.
03:53Honesty is the most fundamental virtue for us Murphid.
03:57Uh, the deep sea patrol has an emergency, so I need to go handle it right away.
04:01Mia did it.
04:02Why does the circuit say I'm lying?
04:05Am I really just a born liar?
04:09Elisa, why can't you be more honest like Mia?
04:12You're my daughter too, but you've really let me down.
04:17I have to teach you to be honest.
04:19I'm making you clean the entire palace.
04:22You're not allowed to eat anything until you're done.
04:24Mom, I...
04:26I feel really sick.
04:31I knew it!
04:33You're just trying to fake an illness to get out of punishment!
04:36No arguments!
04:37Go right now!
04:44All right, it's time to go.
04:46The jellyfish show at Coral Reef is about to start, and Mia has been dying to see it.
04:53Mom, I feel really sick.
04:56Last night, a sea snake tried to bite me, and it's venom.
05:03Can't you just be honest for once?
05:05If you want to come with us, just say so.
05:08Why pretend to be sick?
05:09Mom, let's go!
05:11Don't listen to her.
05:11She's lying again.
05:13It really hurts!
05:16Dad, Mom, help me!
05:18I'm not lying, my tail's...
05:21Still acting up?
05:22You want to get punished again, don't you?
05:25That day, my body felt as if it were being torn apart, but all Blair saw was the red light.
05:31My final plea for help became, in her eyes, the most pathetic lie.
05:38You're beyond help. Stay here and think about what you've done.
05:42Blair, there really is something wrong with this child. Let the sea witch doctor take a look at her.
05:47Don't fall for her tricks. If we don't set her straight now, she'll surely bring disaster upon our royal family
05:54and all of Atlantis in the future.
05:56All right. Elise, you think about what you did, and we'll take you again next time.
06:03I'm sorry, Mom.
06:06In my next life, I'll definitely be an honest guide.
06:18Mom.
06:20Bye, Lissus.
06:21The glow-in-the-dark jellyfish show is sure to be absolutely stunning.
06:28Mom was right.
06:29The circlence doesn't lie.
06:31The circlence is red.
06:33I was lying.
06:35It doesn't hurt.
06:36I have to write a self-critiquation.
06:39That's the rule.
06:40Whenever the red light comes up, I have to carve I'm I'm a liar thousand times on the shell.
06:47Once I'm done carving, Mom will forgive me and have the sea witch doctor come save me, right?
06:57Mom, I'm sorry.
06:59I won't lie anymore.
07:01No, I really am in pain.
07:03I'm not lying.
07:05I have to tell you how I really feel.
07:07Mom, I wasn't lying.
07:09I'm in so much pain.
07:11I feel like I'm going to die.
07:13Why won't you believe me?
07:18It turns out that apologize thousand times.
07:22It really doesn't hurt anymore.
07:26Tonight's jellyfish show was beautiful, especially the smiling faces, just as cute as our Mia.
07:31Daddy, let me help you.
07:35Why is it so cold?
07:36So, the reason I don't feel any pain is because I'm already dead.
07:49Hey, it's really late.
07:51You make any your zogin, I'll toss you into the dark abyss.
07:54Why is this little guy staring at Elise's room?
07:56Has something happened to Elise?
07:58Oh my, what new trick are you up to now?
08:01Elise?
08:03Elise?
08:04Dad, hurry up and push it open!
08:07Come see me!
08:14Forget about all that, she's probably just slacking off and taking a nap.
08:18The more attention you give her, the more she'll keep it up.
08:21Why don't we check on Elise?
08:23At least get her up to eat something.
08:24She'll find a way to fill her stomach.
08:26Don't worry about her.
08:27But...
08:28You've forgotten what happened at my last birthday party?
08:31She snuck off to get something to eat and even missed her performance.
08:34Thank goodness Mia was there to save us from making a fool of ourselves in front of everyone.
08:40Is this kid, who's full of lies, really worth your sympathy?
08:47Today is mom's birthday and I'm not going to let Elise steal the spotlight from me.
08:52Elise, I'm so hungry.
08:54Could you go get me something to eat?
08:57It's almost time to go on stage, Mia.
08:59Should I get it for you after the performance?
09:02My stomach is growling.
09:04Please, Elise.
09:05The kitchen is right nearby.
09:06I'll wait for you.
09:08Won't delay the performance at all.
09:13Next, please welcome Princess Elise and Princess Mia to perform for us.
09:18I'm very sorry, but Alyssa's just said she's too hungry to play.
09:22So now, I'll perform a solo piece for everyone and wish my mother, Her Majesty the Queen, a very happy
09:29birthday!
09:29Yay!
09:33Your Majesty, you're amazing.
09:35Mia played beautifully.
09:36Yeah, that's really great.
09:46Mom, if you found out I was dead, would you be sad?
09:50Would you regret it?
09:51Don't worry.
09:52I know her too well.
09:53She's just trying to get attention.
09:56Mom, will you give me a hug now that I'm dead, just like you hugged Mia?
10:01Mom, it's been so long since you last hugged me.
10:11Still lying there?
10:13Are you done putting on a show?
10:17I don't feel any pain anymore, Mom.
10:20You're really putting on a good act this time.
10:21Do you think I'll take pity on you just because you're lying on the desk looking pitiful?
10:25Stop playing these childish games.
10:27Mom, I'm not faking it.
10:28I'm really dead.
10:29Look at me.
10:30Touch me.
10:31My body's already stiff.
10:32Mom, look.
10:33Her truth circle is still red.
10:35She's even lying in her dreams.
10:37Mia is still the best.
10:39Let her keep pretending.
10:40Honey, why don't we just carry her to the bed?
10:42This is too much for her body.
10:43Don't take matters into your own hands.
10:45We need to take a hands-off approach.
10:47She has to realize her mistake on her own.
10:49Look at that red light.
10:50It shows she's still in a state of extreme defiance and hasn't looked inward at all.
10:55Mia, let's go to bed.
10:57Tomorrow, we're going with Grandma to the shallow coral reefs to pick coral berries.
11:02Don't be late.
11:03Be a good, well-behaved girl.
11:05Mom, if you'd just taken one step closer and touched my hand, you would have realized I'd gone stiff.
11:10But you didn't.
11:11You chose to believe that cold, lifeless head bland instead of the daughter you gave birth to.
11:19In the future, I will be the queen of Atlantics.
11:23Elisa is a loser and a liar!
11:33What's going on?
11:35Who dares touch my scepter?
11:37This is outrageous.
11:39Is that you, Elise?
11:41Mother, it wasn't me.
11:42I have long since passed from this world.
11:44The septal is utterly beyond my reach.
11:49Who's there?
11:57I knew it was you, Elise.
11:59No, she's not Elise.
12:00She's Mia.
12:01She's pretending to be me.
12:08Ha ha, Elisus.
12:09You're in for it.
12:11Mom, I was wrong.
12:13I'm sorry.
12:14I didn't want to be punished anymore.
12:16That's why I tried to steal the wand.
12:18It's been five years, and you've finally told the truth.
12:21I'll let you off this time.
12:22But if it happens again, I'll expel you from the royal family.
12:25Go back to your room and get some sleep.
12:30Elise, I'll just have to pin this on you.
12:32Mom's always thought you were the one behind all the trouble, so don't blame me.
12:37Elise?
12:38Elise?
12:42Elise, you're gross.
12:44Elise, you're gross.
12:44That's disgusting.
12:47Go away.
12:49Don't worry.
12:50It doesn't hurt anymore anyway.
12:51It'll be over soon.
12:53I can't feel the pain anymore.
12:55That's a relief.
12:56Finally, the pain is gone.
13:01Mia, eat up.
13:03Only the little princess who never lies earns the right to the feast.
13:07Why isn't Elisa here for dinner yet?
13:09Don't pay any attention to her.
13:10She actually had the nerve to steal my scepter last night.
13:13She has no right to show her face here.
13:16I didn't steal the staff, and I don't need to eat anything anymore.
13:20Mom, your little liar is dead.
13:27Mom, it's so gross.
13:29Dirty water is coming out of Elise's room.
13:32Did she go to the bathroom on the floor in there?
13:34It stinks.
13:35My body is rotting, and the foul-smelling pus oozing out of it makes my mom hate me even more.
13:43Elise, how dare you relieve yourself in public?
13:45Have you no self-respect left?
13:47Mom, I've never ever gone to the bathroom in public.
13:50Why do you keep accusing me of doing it, just like you used to?
13:54Stand still.
13:55Don't move.
13:56I've never seen a princess so unhygienic.
13:59You actually pooped in your dress.
14:01You've brought shame upon the royal family.
14:03Mom, the sea witch doctor said I was sick, which is why I...
14:09You're lying again.
14:10Look at you.
14:11Why did I ever have such a cluneless kid like you?
14:13You're this old and still can't take care of yourself.
14:15You're always wasting my time.
14:17It's driving me crazy.
14:18Now she thinks I'm dirty again.
14:21But at least I don't have to be punished anymore.
14:24Forget about her.
14:25Let her stay in that stinking sewage.
14:27Let the stench kill her.
14:29The smell is definitely a bit strong.
14:31I'll go take a look.
14:32If Dad and Mom saw Elise like this, they'll never love her again.
14:36Yeah.
14:36Maybe blind eels already got inside.
14:38Daddy, hurry up and open the door.
14:40Just turn the doorknob, and you'll see my blackened face.
14:43Then you'll know I'm dead.
14:53Humans have been discharging nuclear, contaminated water into the deep waters off Atlantis,
14:59causing the deaths of many fish.
15:01You need to go take a look.
15:03What?
15:04The discharged water again?
15:06All right.
15:07Nota for the patrol team immediately.
15:09Come with me.
15:09Yes, my lord.
15:14Honey, I have to go keep an eye on things.
15:16I might not be back for a few days.
15:18Okay.
15:18Go ahead.
15:19Be careful.
15:23It was so close.
15:27If that guard had arrived just a moment later, I would have been discovered.
15:31Maybe then, I wouldn't have had to keep rotting away.
15:36Come on.
15:38Mom will take you to the shallow sea district to pick out a new fish-smail tule skirt and
15:43some pearl accessories.
15:45You want some pearl accessories.
15:49Don't let Elisa get you down.
15:50Hooray, Mom!
16:00Mom, can you pick out a dress for me?
16:02I want to look pretty so everyone will know I'm Mom's favorite little princess.
16:07Okay, my little darling.
16:11You idiot, let go!
16:13Put that thing down right now!
16:15Mia, let go of Lucky!
16:18Lucky, drop it or you're going to get a beating!
16:22Lucky!
16:24Lucky!
16:25Mia, this is really pretty!
16:28No, put her down!
16:31That's my only friend!
16:37Do you like it?
16:39It's so beautiful.
16:41Thank you, Mom.
16:43Okay, then hurry up and get dressed.
16:45Let's go!
16:46I'm sorry.
16:47I'm sorry.
16:48It's all my fault that you've had to go through so much.
16:52Don't be afraid.
16:54I'm here.
16:55No one will ever bully you again and we'll never be apart.
17:02This is so gross, Mom.
17:04The water is getting dirtier and it smells even worse.
17:07Elise is becoming more and more outrageous.
17:09She actually left the room filthy with foul sewage all over the place.
17:13To find some kelp and seaweed and use them to plug up the cracks around Elise's door.
17:17Yes, Your Majesty.
17:18Cover the door gap with a few more layers.
17:20Don't leave any gaps.
17:21Yes.
17:22Elise, since you love stench and feel, go ahead and stay in there as long as you like.
17:26You'll never get out of there in this lifetime.
17:28For dinner, we had the finest sea urchin jelly and stuffed coral berries.
17:32Don't let Elise ruin the meal for me and Princess Mia.
17:35Yes.
17:35It turns out that, in Mom's eyes, whether I lived or died didn't matter at all.
17:40She'd rather seal the door to keep the stencher out than open the door to take a look and see
17:45if I'd really died in there.
17:46Mom, you've won.
17:48I'll never bother you again.
17:53Damn it!
17:54The stench just won't go away!
18:00Mom, that's the deep sea pearl perfume Dad gave you for your birthday.
18:04Elisa!
18:05Elisa!
18:06You're completely out of control.
18:07You're deliberately trying to upset me and defy me, aren't you?
18:10Come out here!
18:11Looks like the sonar punishment isn't working on you anymore.
18:14I'm definitely going to teach you a lesson today, you slob.
18:18Don't go in!
18:19Mom, don't go in!
18:20I'm so ugly, I'm all rotten, and I'm oozing stinky piss.
18:25You'll be scared, even though you don't love me, I need to see how terrifying I look.
18:45Elise!
18:46What are you doing in there?
18:49Mom, stop looking!
18:52Are you dead?
18:53Stop playing dead!
18:55Get up!
19:01What the...
19:20No way!
19:21This can't be real!
19:23Elise, stop pretending!
19:24Get up!
19:25You're just sulking at me, aren't you?
19:26You love playing these childish games!
19:28I won't punish you anymore.
19:30Don't scare me.
19:31Get up.
19:32I'll buy you your favorite honey-infused coral fruit.
19:35I'll give you anything you want.
19:37Come on, get up!
19:38Lucky, look.
19:39Mom is crying because of me, but it's all too late now.
19:42I don't need anything anymore.
19:47No, it wasn't me!
19:49I saw Mia do it with my own eyes!
19:51Not only are you refusing to admit it,
19:53you're also trying to frame Mia!
19:55You're despicable!
20:03Mom, it really hurts.
20:07You're beyond help.
20:08Stay here and think about what you've done.
20:10Dad, it's been a long time since you last hugged me.
20:13Can you give me a hug?
20:14Alicia, be reasonable.
20:16I've got things to do.
20:19Mom, I wasn't lying.
20:21I'm in so much pain, I feel like I'm going to die.
20:25Why won't you believe me?
20:31Where's the queen?
20:32Open the door!
20:33Yes!
20:41Yeah, the circle!
20:43As soon as the red light comes on, it means you're lying!
20:45You're just playing dead!
20:47Come on, light up!
20:48Light up, red!
20:52You're priceless.
20:53The Pope has arrived.
20:57Princess Elisa!
