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