00:00Are you sure you want to dissect your child's brain?
00:02You must understand.
00:04There's over a 50% chance she will never wake up again.
00:09I'm sure.
00:10A lying child needs to be punished.
00:13She won't die.
00:15My mother, Claire, was a woman obsessed with scientific parenting.
00:20From the day my brother and I were born, she abandoned all traditional discipline
00:24and forced us both into these honesty callers.
00:28She lived by the absolute rules of parenting forums and expert lectures.
00:35The callers were absolutely accurate.
00:37One spike in your heart rate or emotions and the caller marks it as a lie.
00:42When the blue arc on the caller lighted up, it means a lie was told
00:47and she would trigger the remote, releasing a high voltage shock to punish the liars.
00:52But if the person told the truth, the caller remained silent.
00:56My brother, Zach's caller, was always peacefully silent, never once glowing with blue light.
01:03Even when he secretly threw my cat off the second floor, killing her instantly,
01:08and then lied about her, fell on her own.
01:11The caller didn't make a sound.
01:13But for me, even saying simple things like,
01:16I'm hungry, would trigger the caller to brand me a liar.
01:20But I was starving.
01:22I begged my mom, asking for a little bit of food.
01:26Mom, my belly hurts so much.
01:29Just as I finished talking, the fear and panic in my heart triggered the sensor.
01:33The caller judged it a lie, and blue lightning exploded instantly.
01:37Bone-chilling electricity surged through my entire body,
01:41leaving me paralyzed and shivering in pain.
01:45The first few years, I cried and tried to explain over and over.
01:50Pain is the best correction.
01:51Everything I do is to make sure you grow up to be an honest child.
01:56Day after day, thousands of shocks seared into my flesh.
02:01I slowly began to believe I was born a hopeless, lying brat.
02:06I am a liar and a naughty kid.
02:09On New Year's Eve, Claire dressed Zach up in his finest clothes.
02:14He had been invited to perform at the celebration event.
02:19Without warning, a piercing pain tore through my abdomen.
02:24Mom, my belly really hurts. Help me.
02:28The only response was the blinding blue light flickering on my collar.
02:34Claire looked down at me.
02:36There was no pity in her eyes, filled only with disgust and disappointment.
02:41She put out the remote, slamming the power level to the max.
02:45Acting sick and lying just to ruin your brother's performance?
02:49You really are a born liar, Leah.
02:52It's in your blood.
02:54Without a second thought, she turned away,
02:56leading the well-behaved Zach out the door.
02:59She slammed it shut, locking me alone in endless darkness and agony.
03:05The pain kept hitting me in waves.
03:07My body lost all control, shaking violently as my fingernails clawed at the floor,
03:14leaving deep white gashes behind.
03:16The sheer despair of dying choked me even more than the physical pain.
03:21Just as I was about to pass out, the doorknob suddenly turned.
03:26In the deathly silence of the darkness, a spark of hope flared up inside me.
03:33Mom was back.
03:35She must be here to save me.
03:38Still acting out?
03:40The show is about to start, and Zach is already losing his patience.
03:43Mom, it really hurts.
03:45It feels like something is tearing apart inside me.
03:48Claire's eyes locked onto the glowing blue light around my neck,
03:52which hadn't stopped flashing, and she lost her temper instantly.
03:56She knelt down and grabbed my chin so hard, I thought my bones were going to shatter.
04:02Leah, how much longer are you going to keep up this little drama?
04:05Lies are in your blood, and you never learn.
04:08Now stay in there and think about what you've done.
04:11My dad, Brian, stood at the entrance and spoke up, his tone dismissive and light.
04:16Honey, let's hurry.
04:18The event is starting.
04:19If Leah doesn't want to go, just let her be.
04:22Should we leave some dinner for her?
04:24Claire stood up right away, brushing off her hands as if she'd touched something disgusting.
04:30Her voice cut like a knife.
04:33There's no need to spoil her.
04:36She takes good care of herself.
04:38When she's hungry, she'll just steal money to buy food like she always does.
04:43How could a relentless liar like her ever starve?
04:46Lock the door.
04:47Don't let her out until that collar stops glowing.
04:50But...
04:51Enough!
04:52Look at Zach.
04:53Always honest, always a good boy.
04:55He's never been punished by his collar.
04:57Leah's nature is beyond repair.
04:59Only scientific correction can correct her.
05:02I lay on the freezing floor, my consciousness fading into a blur.
05:07No one knew that the one who loved to steal money had always been Zach.
05:14Zach stole to buy the latest toy cars and the snacks Mom forbidden us to have.
05:21The day Mom found out about the missing money, Zach stood before her and the collar remained silent.
05:28With a casual, it wasn't me, Claire believed him completely.
05:33I only defended myself with...
05:37I didn't do it.
05:38My collar flared up with blinding blue light, triggering a massive electric shock.
05:43I watched my mother's back as she turned and walked away.
05:48Through the crack in the door, Zach poked his little head out and looked at me, lying on the floor
05:53with tears and sweat.
05:55He pulled a smug face.
05:57Bye-bye, sis.
05:58His words were like the sharpest blade, piercing through the last shred of hope I held.
06:04Bang.
06:05The crisp, metallic click of the deadbolt was cold and final, cutting me off from the world completely.
06:11The entire house fell into deathly silence.
06:15There was nothing left but me and the endless, torturous agony ripping through my stomach.
06:24It, it hurt so much.
06:27Mom was right.
06:29Machines never lie.
06:31Whenever the collar glowed blue, it meant I was lying.
06:34I wasn't in pain.
06:36I didn't feel a thing.
06:38I lost track of time, but eventually, the blinding pain just went numb.
06:44Dragging the last shred of my consciousness, I crawled toward the desk.
06:48This was Claire's rule.
06:50Whenever the collar turned blue, I had to finish a thousand-word confession, reflecting on the fact that I was
06:57a despicable liar.
07:00Trembling, I opened the worn, wrinkled diary.
07:05The pages were packed.
07:07My forced confession all these years.
07:10I lied.
07:11I was not an honest child.
07:13If I repented, Mom would forgive me and everything would be okay.
07:18I knew I was wrong.
07:19I shouldn't have lied.
07:20I would change.
07:23I don't know how long I kept going.
07:25Not until the pen literally slipped from my fingers.
07:28My vision blurred, and the ink started to bleed from the drops hitting the page.
07:32I realized they were my tears.
07:35Quickly, I wiped them away with my sleeve, terrified.
07:40If the handwriting was messy, it would look insincere.
07:43Mom wouldn't be happy.
07:44Finally, I gently closed the notebook and curled up beside it.
07:49Using my last strength, I scratched the words onto the floor, the words I never dared to put on paper.
07:56Please?
07:57A burst of loud laughter snapped me back to consciousness.
08:02It was Claire, Brian, and Zach.
08:06The family had returned with the festive scent of fireworks and the echoes of joy.
08:12Zach's performance was incredible!
08:15That's my boy.
08:16Claire's voice was dripping with love, the kind of affection I had never once received in my ten years of
08:22life.
08:24Go check on Leah.
08:25She hasn't left her room or eaten all afternoon.
08:27Let's make sure nothing is actually wrong.
08:31If she starves, it's her own fault.
08:33Faking sick just for attention, those are all spoiled habits.
08:38She pushed my door open and didn't bother to turn on the light.
08:42By the faint light filtering in from the living room,
08:45she saw me lying on the floor, my breath hanging by a thread.
08:50Still throwing a fit and playing the victim?
08:55Leah, you're ten years old now.
08:58Stop playing these childish games.
09:00Sis is such a big, lazy pig.
09:04We're all back and she's still sleeping.
09:06And her collar is still glowing.
09:09She has been lying the whole time.
09:12She's even a liar in her sleep.
09:14Our Zach is such a good boy.
09:17Don't waste time on that dishonest child.
09:20Let her reflect on her own actions.
09:24Maybe we should put her in bed.
09:25It's too cold here.
09:26She'll freeze lying on the floor.
09:27Stop spoiling her.
09:29The parenting expert said that with stubborn kids,
09:32you have to give them the cold treatment.
09:35The collar is still glowing.
09:37It shows she's still resisting deep down.
09:41She hasn't learned a thing.
09:42Leave her be.
09:43I'm sick of her.
09:44Tomorrow, I'm taking her to the hospital
09:45to cut open her brain
09:47and see what on earth she's thinking.
09:49With that, she slammed the door shut in a rage.
09:53The door locked again,
09:55sealing me in completely.
09:57Late at night,
09:58a rat scurried out from my empty wardrobe.
10:01I feared rats more than anything.
10:04Even a glimpse of one
10:05would make me tremble uncontrollably.
10:07But now,
10:09I could only lie there helpless,
10:11watching as it crawled freely over my body,
10:14biting at my skin.
10:15The door swung open.
10:17Claire stood there,
10:18her makeup flawless,
10:20looking down at me with pure disgust.
10:23Zach hid behind her,
10:25his eyes mocking me
10:27like I was a joke.
10:28Brian followed,
10:30hesitant,
10:31but he kept his mouth shut.
10:32Still putting on an act after a whole night?
10:35You just won't give up, will you?
10:37My throat was burning and dry.
10:39I couldn't make a sound.
10:40The second I tried to move,
10:42the collar's blue light flared violently.
10:45See?
10:46The machine doesn't lie.
10:48She's still faking it for sympathy.
10:50The cold treatment isn't working anymore.
10:51She's just rotten to the core.
10:53Claire, she looks terrible.
10:54Let's just get her checked.
10:56What if she's actually sick?
10:57There are no what-ifs!
11:01Every bit of her pain
11:02is just a pathetic excuse.
11:04She grabbed my arm
11:05and yanked me up so hard
11:07as if my bones cracked.
11:08The raw wounds on my skin
11:10ripped open against the floor
11:12and the world went black.
11:14Since she won't admit her faults,
11:16let science fix her.
11:18The car ride was dead silent.
11:22Zach snuggled safely against Claire,
11:24his clean collar dead quiet,
11:27while my blue light flashed blindingly.
11:30The hospital reeked of bleach.
11:32I slumped weakly in the exam chair,
11:35my vision blurring into shadows.
11:37The doctor took one look
11:38at my ghost pale face
11:40and the flashing collar.
11:41Where does it hurt, sweetie?
11:44Doctor, there's nothing wrong with her body.
11:46She's just a compulsive liar
11:48who fakes illness for attention.
11:50She's a little brat.
11:53Her heart rate is irregular
11:55and her complexion is awful.
11:57Let me do a basic check first.
11:59No need.
12:00I've spent years trying to fix her.
12:02Every normal method failed.
12:03She has mental illnesses
12:05and brain damage.
12:06That's why she never learns.
12:07This honesty collar has zero errors.
12:10It's been alarmed since yesterday.
12:11Her pain is just an act.
12:13The doctor's face turned grave
12:15as he warned her.
12:16A mood device can't rule out
12:18physical disease.
12:19Early signs of internal emergencies
12:21are easy to miss.
12:22Making a hasty call is very risky.
12:25The biggest risk is letting a liar
12:27get away with it.
12:29I demand a brain surgery.
12:32Cut her head open
12:33and find the root of her lies.
12:36Brain surgery is extremely high risk.
12:38She's too weak.
12:39There's over a 50% chance
12:40she'll go into shock on the table
12:42and never wake up.
12:43Claire didn't blink.
12:45A lying child must be fixed.
12:47Cut her brain open
12:48and cure her rotten nature.
12:50I just sat there
12:51completely paralyzed
12:53my heart turning to ice.
12:55In that brightly lit clinic
12:57my own mother
12:58had just handed me
12:59a death sentence.
13:00I was wheeled into the oar
13:02cold electrodes
13:04sticking to my skin.
13:05The rhythmic beeping
13:07of the monitor
13:08joined the buzzing
13:09of the caller
13:10sounding like a countdown
13:12to my death.
13:13The nurse whispered softly.
13:15Don't be scared sweetie.
13:17Just close your eyes
13:18and it'll all be over soon.
13:20I forced the corners
13:21of my stiff lips upward
13:23into a tiny smile.
13:25The anesthesia mask
13:27was pressed over my face
13:30and the world began to blur.
13:33Through the crack in the door
13:35I saw a tender scene
13:36in the hallway.
13:38Claire was carefully
13:39wiping Zach's hands
13:40her eyes overflowing
13:42with love.
13:43Mom,
13:44will sis stop lying
13:45after the surgery?
13:48Yes.
13:49Once we remove
13:50the bad thoughts
13:51making her lie
13:52she'll be just as good
13:53as you.
13:55Tears escape
13:56from the corners
13:56of my eyes
13:57soaking into
13:58the freezing sheets.
14:00So,
14:01all my pain
14:02and pleas
14:03were nothing more
14:05than bad thoughts
14:05in her eyes.
14:06The anesthesia
14:08took hold
14:09making my consciousness
14:10fade.
14:11My body went numb
14:13yet that lingering ache
14:15remained sharp and clear.
14:17I thought I could hear
14:18the sound of the scalpel
14:19slicing through my flesh.
14:22Thud.
14:23A hammer struck my skull.
14:25Was that the sound
14:26of them prying my head open?
14:30The brain structure
14:32is perfectly fine.
14:33There's no medical basis
14:34for compulsive lying.
14:36I closed my eyes.
14:38I wasn't sick
14:39after all, Mom.
14:41But,
14:41the truth came too late.
14:44My body,
14:45already failing
14:46from internal damage
14:48and a whole night
14:49of suffering,
14:50couldn't survive
14:51the trauma
14:52of the surgery.
14:53The beeping
14:54of the monitor
14:55suddenly turned sharp
14:56and frantic.
14:57My heart rate
14:58and blood pressure
14:59dropped.
15:00Red alerts
15:00began to scream.
15:02Vitals are crashing!
15:03Acute shock!
15:05Now!
15:05The OR
15:06exploded into chaos.
15:09The defibrillator
15:10jolted my body
15:11again and again.
15:13My muscles convulsing
15:15as the agony
15:17from my head
15:18and stomach
15:19tore through me.
15:20But my body
15:21couldn't fight back anymore.
15:23My eyelids grew heavy
15:24and the darkness
15:25began to swallow me whole.
15:28See, Mom?
15:29I wasn't a bad child.
15:32I wasn't lying.
15:35The monitor's scream
15:37flattened into a single,
15:39endless tone,
15:40piercing
15:41and deathly silent.
15:43The blue light
15:44on my neck,
15:44the one that had flickered
15:46for years
15:46to convict me,
15:48slowly flickered out
15:50the moment
15:50my life hit zero.
15:52The long,
15:53flat line
15:53of the monitor
15:54screamed,
15:55tearing away
15:56the last bit
15:57of warmth
15:57in the OR.
15:59With the trauma
15:59of the surgery
16:00on top of
16:01long-term organ failure,
16:0310-year-old Leah's life
16:04slipped away
16:05completely.
16:06The nurse quietly
16:08placed the surgical tools
16:09onto the tray.
16:11The soft clink of metal
16:12was deafening
16:13in the deathly silence.
16:14The lead surgeon
16:16stared at the
16:16perfectly healthy brain.
16:18No lesions,
16:19no defects.
16:20His brow furrowed deeply,
16:22his eyes filled
16:23with a heavy,
16:23aching pity.
16:24This pure,
16:26clean brain
16:27had none of the
16:28so-called congenital
16:29defects
16:30or lying centers.
16:32It was no different
16:33from any other
16:34normal child.
16:35Outside in the hallway,
16:37Claire's waiting figure
16:38suddenly went rigid.
16:39A second ago,
16:41she had been stroking
16:42Zach's hair,
16:43whispering promises
16:44to cure
16:45his sister's illness.
16:48The next second,
16:50the OR doors
16:51swung open.
16:52The grim,
16:54somber faces
16:54of the medical team
16:56shattered her
16:57every certainty.
16:59A piercing,
17:00guttural scream,
17:02one that didn't
17:03even sound human,
17:04erupted from Claire's throat.
17:06She stumbled back,
17:07her lower back
17:08slamming into a cabinet.
17:10Medical supplies
17:11crashed to the floor,
17:13shattering into pieces.
17:14But she didn't
17:17feel a thing.
17:18Her eyes were locked
17:19onto my lifeless,
17:21broken body,
17:22her pupils trembling
17:23with horror.
17:25Impossible!
17:27You're acting!
17:28This is a cheap trick!
17:29You're faking it!
17:31Leah!
17:32Get up!
17:34Mommy won't be mad anymore!
17:36Don't scare Mommy!
17:41She reached out
17:42with shaking hands
17:43to touch me,
17:43but the moment
17:44her fingertips
17:45met that bone-chilling cold
17:46she recoiled
17:48as if burned by fire.
17:49The sheer cold
17:51and stiffness
17:51were terrifyingly real.
17:54Before long,
17:56piercing sirens
17:57sliced through the quiet.
17:59Police cars
18:00and forensic vans
18:01arrived one after another,
18:03and yellow caution tape
18:04was quickly unfurled,
18:06sealing off
18:07the entire hospital.
18:08I hovered in mid-air,
18:10watching officers
18:11and forensics
18:12dart back and forth,
18:14watching the icy flash
18:15of cameras
18:16strike my corpse
18:17over and over.
18:19Officer,
18:20she's faking it!
18:21She's been a liar
18:22since she was a baby!
18:23Calm down.
18:24If the collar
18:25glows blue,
18:25she's lying!
18:26The machine is never wrong!
18:27I was just disciplining her
18:29in scientific correction!
18:30I did it for her own good!
18:32I never abused my child!
18:34The forensic team
18:35hit a major snag
18:37wall, trying to move my body.
18:39The collar,
18:40which had been shocking me
18:41with high voltage for years,
18:43had long ago
18:44fused with my flesh and bone,
18:45becoming part of me.
18:48Damn it.
18:49The forensic doctor
18:50cursed under his breath,
18:51reaching for professional tools
18:53to pry the collar off.
18:55The sickening sound of skin
18:57being torn away
18:58echoed through the living room.
18:59Even though I was dead,
19:01my soul screamed
19:02from a bone-deep surge
19:04of phantom pain.
19:05The collar was finally
19:06ripped off,
19:07its edges dripping
19:08with my blood
19:09and charred skin.
19:10It was a gruesome sight.
19:12The police arrived
19:14at the house
19:15to gather evidence.
19:17In my bedroom,
19:18an officer
19:20picked up the fallen diary
19:22as he put on his gloves
19:24and slowly flipped
19:25through the pages.
19:26His face turned grim
19:28and stone cold.
19:30That's her confession!
19:32She wrote it herself,
19:33admitting she's a liar!
19:34Look closely!
19:35She confessed!
19:39Whether she lied or not
19:41is for the investigation
19:42to determine
19:43based on the evidence.
19:45Just then,
19:47Brian rushed back from work.
19:49The moment he saw
19:50the long, black body bag
19:52on the floor,
19:53his legs gave out.
19:55He collapsed into a heap,
19:57completely breaking down
19:58and losing control
19:59of his bladder.
20:00Young Zach stood to the side,
20:03wailing in terror
20:03at the scene,
20:04yet he still pointed
20:05ignorantly
20:06at the bloody collar
20:07on the table
20:08and cried out,
20:10Mommy!
20:10Why isn't Siss's collar
20:12glowing anymore?
20:13The police began
20:14their on-site questioning
20:16immediately.
20:17Claire, desperate
20:18for a lifeline,
20:19pointed frantically
20:20at the bloody collar.
20:21Officer,
20:22check that collar!
20:23It's 100% accurate!
20:24It only glows blue
20:25when someone lies!
20:26I did nothing wrong!
20:28She was the one
20:28who refused to change!
20:29She was always,
20:30always lying!
20:31I was just following
20:32scientific parenting!
20:37The victim's body
20:38is covered in old
20:39electrical burn scars.
20:40This is the result
20:41of long-term
20:42repeated abuse.
20:43It was corrective education!
20:45She deserved it!
20:47You don't believe me,
20:48do you?
20:49This machine is perfect!
20:50I'll show you myself!
20:52I'm not lying!
20:53If I wear it,
20:53it won't light up!
20:54It won't!
20:56I'll prove it to you!
20:58I'm innocent!
20:59As long as it stays dark,
21:01it means everything
21:02I say is the trick.
21:02The latch snaps
21:03tapped shut,
21:04the cold rubber
21:05pressed against her skin,
21:07the sticky texture
21:08of my dried blood
21:09smearing against her.
21:11Claire took a deep breath.
21:15I am Claire,
21:16Leah's mother.
21:17Everything I've said
21:18is the absolute truth.
21:21But the very next second,
21:24Claire froze instantly,
21:26her confidence
21:27turning to stone
21:28as the color drained
21:29completely from her face.
21:32What's happening?
21:33You people
21:34must have broken it!
21:36It's broken.
21:37It's broken.
21:39I'm telling the truth!
21:40I'm not lying!
21:41She spoke faster and faster,
21:44spiraling into a panic.
21:47I didn't abuse my child.
21:49I did it for her own good.
21:51I love my daughter.
21:54Beep, beep, beep.
21:55The blue light flashed
21:57even more violently,
21:58becoming a blur of strobes.
22:00Detecting her skyrocketing
22:02heart rate
22:02and extreme panic,
22:03the device automatically
22:05discharged a surge
22:06of high-voltage electricity.
22:09A thin but sharp current
22:11sliced through her neck.
22:12Claire's entire body convulsed,
22:15goosebumps erupting
22:16across her skin instantly.
22:18The sheer agony
22:19forced her to remember
22:20the countless nights
22:21when I was zapped
22:22by the maximum setting,
22:24how I would curl up
22:25on the floor,
22:26gritting my teeth,
22:27too terrified
22:28to even let out a sob.
22:30Finally,
22:31she realized
22:32those tens of thousands
22:34of shocks
22:35were a pain
22:36that tore the very soul apart.
22:38Why is it blue?
22:39I'm not lying!
22:40Why are you framing me?
22:41You stupid machine!
22:43You're the one lying!
22:44Enough!
22:45Stop trying.
22:46This isn't a lie detector at all.
22:49Not a lie detector?
22:52This is just a basic
22:53heart rate monitor.
22:55The logic is simple.
22:57When a person is stressed,
22:58terrified,
22:58in pain,
22:59or anxious,
23:00their heart rate spikes
23:01and the blue light triggers.
23:04Right now,
23:05you're drowning
23:06in panic,
23:07guilt,
23:07and anxiety.
23:09Drowning.
23:09Your heart is out of control.
23:11Of course,
23:11it's glowing blue.
23:13The officer stepped closer,
23:16each word hitting
23:16like a sledgehammer
23:18against her
23:18decade-long obsession.
23:20Your daughter
23:20had a ruptured appendix.
23:22The agonizing pain
23:23was enough
23:24to send a child's
23:25heart rate through the roof
23:25and make her collapse
23:26in terror.
23:27The more she suffered,
23:29the brighter it glowed.
23:30And you,
23:31you mistook her
23:32dying pleas
23:33for a calculated lie.
23:35You kept cranking up
23:36the voltage.
23:37The pain caused
23:38a faster heart rate,
23:40which meant a brighter light.
23:41It was a vicious cycle.
23:43You personally
23:45took your child's
23:45cry for help
23:46and turned it into
23:47an instrument of torture.
