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 mom is obsessed with scientific parenting
00:11She strapped these on me and my twin Zoey green light means truth red light means lie
00:17Zoey's light is always green. She's the perfect child a
00:22Jolt 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 turned red again mom glanced at me coldly slamming the
00:37Scientific parenting guide. She was holding onto the table. What's the act for?
00:41You're only worthy to eat when the green light is on my stomach churned acid reflux
00:46I saw Zoey secretly laughing at the table. Her ankle was forever shrouded in a green glow
00:52I saw Zoey rudging through the bedside table yesterday. Zoey hugged her mother
00:57Mom! I'm just going to get some water. Her ankle was a blindingly green
01:03My darling's ankle is blowing green
01:06How could she lie?
01:07I stared at the red light on my ankle. It was like an ugly heart ready to burst
01:12Mom stroked Zoey's head
01:15That's science
01:18Lies glow, Ava
01:20You'll never learn
01:22The new year's bells began to toll in the distance
01:24She sneaked out at night to date said used condoms were just a prank by others
01:30Mom, that's my friend's ewers joke. Her ankle always glows bright green. It's pure truth
01:37But 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
01:46Her punishments are 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
02:03I'm doing this for your own good
02:05For 14 years, I believed her
02:07I thought my own blood was dishonest
02:09But then, New Year's Eve, everything started to fall apart
02:13New Year's Eve, everything started to fall apart
02:16Mom was getting Zoey ready for Times Square
02:19We're going to see the New Year's fireworks
02:21Suddenly, a sharp pain hit me
02:23It felt like knives in my stomach
02:25I collapsed onto the floor. Everything hurt so much
02:29Mom, help me! I'm in pain!
02:32The monitor flashed a cold red light
02:33Mom looked down at me with disgust
02:35Nice try, Ava. Faking sick to ruin our night? You're delusional
02:40She grabbed Zoey's hand and walked out
02:42I wanted to scream for help, but a voice inside said she was right
02:46The light is red. I must be lying. I'm not actually sick
02:52Sorry, Mom. I won't lie again
02:54But the pain only got worse. It was unbearable
02:58Suddenly, someone opened the door
02:59Suddenly, someone opened the door
03:02I thought Mom was back. She's a doctor. She can fix this
03:05Hurry up! The fireworks are starting!
03:08Please. I feel so sick
03:11Zola 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?
03:25Stay here until you learn your lesson
03:27Dad walked over and asked
03:30Honey, should we leave her some food?
03:32Food? She stole so much money
03:35Her 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
03:43Lock the door
03:44We'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
03:58But Mom was wrong from the start. I never stole anything
04:00Zoe stole the money. Zoe always sneaks out to date. I 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
04:18Bye bye, weepy beach
04:20We're going to the fireworks
04:23The door slammed shut
04:25The 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
04:45I write I am a liar
04:47One thousand times
04:48I am a liar
04:49I am a liar
04:50I opened a thick stack of notebooks
04:52Every single page was filled with my apologies
04:55But this time
04:56I wanted to write the truth
04:58My vision started to blur
04:59Everything went dark
05:01My hand kept shaking as I wrote
05:03Mom, I really love you
05:06It really hurts
05:07Why won't you believe me?
05:08Just believe me this once
05:10As I wrote the final word
05:12The pain finally stopped
05:14Everything felt light
05:16I felt free
05:17I looked down
05:18I was floating in the air
05:19And slumped over that desk
05:21Was my lifeless body
05:23The monitor was still on my ankle
05:25Flashing that cold, heartless red light
05:27Turns out I was already dead
05:30I heard laughter behind the door
05:32Mom, Dad and Zoe
05:33They were back at the front door
05:35The fireworks were amazing today
05:37Especially the smiley face one
05:40It looked just like our little Zoe
05:41Mom'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
05:52But 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
06:08I 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
06:15If Mom finds out I'm dead
06:19Will 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?
06:30Do you think I'll carry you to bed?
06:31Ava, you're 14 years old
06:33Not a six-year-old child
06:35Mom, I'm not kidding
06:37I'm already dead
06:39Look 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
06:58Maybe 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
07:05The 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
07:15I floated back to my body
07:17I stared at the only red light in the dark
07:19Mom, if you just stepped closer
07:21If you just touched my hand
07:23You'd feel how ice cold I am
07:26But you did nothing
07:27A mouse crawled out from the corner
07:29Before, I would've 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 around me
07:59She was trying to force me out
08:00She wanted me to beg for forgiveness
08:02To apologize for things I never did
08:05In the past, I would've given in
08:07But now, I'll never be hungry again
08:10Is Ava still in her room?
08:12Is Ava still in her room?
08:14He didn't even look up from his paper
08:15Mom slammed the 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
08:30Did she poop on the floor?
08:32Mom rushed over and pounded on the door
08:34Ava, are 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
08:50Look at her, she'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
08:57She 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
09:09Maybe it's a dead rat or something
09:12Dad, please, open 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
09:23Dad hurried to answer it
09:25What? The 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
09:33Wait, what about Ava?
09:35But Dad was already out the door
09:37If that call had been a few seconds later
09:40They 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
09:50They 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
10:03She 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
10:17Then 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
10:23Vanished with that tape
10:26By the third day after I died
10:28Even the tape couldn't hide the smell of a corpse
10:32Mom bought a huge bunch of fresh flowers
10:35She tried to drown out the scent with perfume
10:37But the smell of death was everywhere
10:42Rotten, greasy, the metallic smell of blood
10:46She was careless while cutting the roses
10:48A thorn pricked her finger
10:49She slammed the flowers onto the floor
10:54Ava!
10:55Mom 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
11:05Mom, 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
11:29Ava!
11:30What on earth are you doing?
11:33I'm slumped over the desk
11:34Still 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
11:53Her fingers dig into my neck
11:55Then she freezes
11:57Time stands still
11:58She doesn't feel warm skin
11:59Instead, 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
12:09But she pulls hard
12:11My body is stiff like a statue
12:13I topple backward
12:14The chair hits the floor
12:15Thud
12:22Ava
12:28And finally
12:29My messy hair covered my face
12:31Dried blood and foam stained my lips
12:33On my blackened ankle
12:35That lie detector cuff still hangs there
12:37The 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
12:46Only the heavy, hollow silence of death remains
12:51Thud
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
13:07Don't shock me anymore
13:08A horrific, soul-wripping scream shatters the air
13:11Dream
13:13Mother recoils, slamming into the bookstore
13:15Liza's shadow 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
13:28Her fingers trembling
13:29As she tries to rouse me
13:31But my skin is a hollow, biting frost
13:34She jerks back as if the cold itself had burned her
13:36The wail of sirens drowns out
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, attempting to shift my weight
13:59But the ankle monitor has become one with my body
14:02Damn it
14:03She tears the stubborn rubber from my cooling flesh
14:07Even 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! She admitted everything there!
14:24The 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 me, where's calling?
14:38Mom, why is Ava's ankle monitor so dark?
14:42Look! Mine is still green!
14:44The green light pulses softly in the dim hallway
14:46What cruel irony
14:48Mother is spiraling into a frantic, jagged desperation
14:52Check the monitor! It proves everything!
14:56I only shocked her when it turned red!
15:00That wasn't abuse! That was discipline!
15:05Driven by a delusional need to prove she isn't a killer
15:08She makes a move born of pure insanity
15:12I'll wear it myself! I'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
15:20Click!
15:22My blood smears across her skin like a silent accusation
15:25Mother takes a jagged, trembling breath
15:28My name is Ellie
15:30I am Ava's mother
15:31It is the absolute undeniable truth
15:35And yet, a piercing, mechanical shriek shatters the room
15:41The red light explodes into life
15:43It's a blinding, visceral crimson
15:46The 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? What's happening?
15:59I'm telling the truth! My name is Ellie!
16:02Panic starts to claw at her throat
16:03The medical examiner must have broken it!
16:06Let me try again! Just 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
16:24Her 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 10
16:39She turned it to the maximum setting
16:41I had curled into a ball on the cold floor
16:44I 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
16:52It really hurts that much
16:54Mother loses it completely
16:57Why is it red? Why?
16:59I'm telling the truth! Turn green! Turn green!
17:02You stupid machine! You're framing me!
17:05But the light just keeps pulsing a frantic, mocking crimson
17:08It says, liar, liar, liar
17:12Enough! Stop trying, you're only making it worse
17:15He slams the technical manual onto the table
17:17This thing isn't a lie detector, it never was
17:19It's a biometric heart rate monitor
17:21Red doesn't mean lie, red means fear, pain, anxiety
17:26Now your heart is racing because you're terrified
17:28Of course, it's red
17:30He leans in, his shadow looming over her
17:34Think 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
17:44The more you thought she was lying
17:46So you cranked up the voltage
17:47Pain made the light burn brighter
17:49And the light made you shock her harder
17:51You literally electrocuted her to death
17:53Because 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, take it off me
18:04I'm not a liar, I'm not
18:07The lock is jammed tight, it's fused to her skin forever
18:10It won't budge, I can't breathe
18:12Ava, stop this, I was wrong
18:16It hurts, it 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
18:27Her voice is soft but heavy
18:29February 14th
18:32Sunny
18:32Mom gave me celery
18:34I'm allergic
18:34My throat swelled up
18:36No air, I 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, it was blood
18:52The officer turns the page
18:55June 1st, Children's Day
18:57Zoe ruined mom's favorite dress
18:58Zoe was calm, her light stayed green
19:00I was terrified
19:02Mine was solid red
19:03Mom shocked me at level 5
19:05I didn't dare to cry
19:06Crying 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
19:19Not 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
19:37No sensors
19:39No heart monitor
19:41Just two cheap light bulbs
19:43And a couple of batteries
19:44It's wired to stay green forever
19:48It's a $2 plastic toy
19:50To stay green forever
19:50No to stay
