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