Bad Seed The Untold Truth
Category
๐ฅ
Short filmTranscript
00:02I was born a bad seed. That was the label mom gave me. She claimed to inherit an ancient psychic
00:07bloodline. To test whether I was lying, mom kept a spirit serpent named Rune. Rune sensed good and
00:13evil. Pure hearts got affection. Dark hearts got warnings. My twin sister Chloe approached. Rune
00:19coiled gently around her arm and nuzzled her. I approached with coffee for mom. Rune bared its
00:25fangs at me. Everything has a spirit. If Rune lashes out at you, it means you poison that coffee. Chloe
00:33once knocked over mom's psychic altar. A candle set the curtains on fire. After the blaze, mom emerged
00:39from the smoke. Chloe pointed at me, eyes full of tears. Stella pushed me. Rune nuzzled Chloe. Mom
00:45didn't let me explain. She locked me in the storage room. The serpent was never wrong. At first, I
00:51couldn't understand. But after so many years, I believed her. Maybe I really was born rotten.
00:56Then Christmas Eve came. Everything changed. Chloe insisted on lighting the giant firework. I was
01:02scared it would hurt her. I shoved Chloe out of the way just as the fuse caught. The shell exploded
01:06harmlessly, but my herbal charm snapped loose. I reached down to pick it up. Rune lunged. I froze,
01:12too terrified to even breathe. Mom rushed over and scooped up unharmed Chloe. Chloe immediately wailed.
01:17Stella wanted me to get burned. So that's it. You tried to hurt your sister. Even Rune sensed your
01:24malice. She locked me in the storage room. Get inside. Reflect on what you've done. No food,
01:29no lights, until you confess. Mom left with Chloe. The house went quiet. My chest still pounded from
01:36how close Rune had come. I'd never been that close to its fangs before. For a moment, I'd been sure
01:40I was
01:41going to die. I crouched on the cold floor. My knees went numb. My stomach screamed with hunger.
01:46I didn't dare cry out. If I made a sound, Mom would say the evil was speaking through me. Am
01:50I
01:51really that evil? Is this karma? The door lock clicked. Was Mom back?
01:57The door opened. Mom walked in holding Chloe's hand. She didn't even glance at me on the floor.
02:01Get up. Come to the living room. Good thing your sister is fine, but you need a real lesson this
02:06time.
02:06We're not taking you to Grandma Ruth's. Aunt Karen brought these from the church bake sale yesterday.
02:11You can have them. Don't say I starved you. Chloe wore a brand new coat and sucked on a candy.
02:16Bad seed, Stella. We're going to Grandma's for the big feast. You stay home and reflect. The spirits
02:23are watching. I saw Rune in his cage, coiled and alert. Stop scheming. If Rune hadn't sensed your malice in
02:29time, your sister would have been hurt. The snake hates your rotten heart. I'm taking him with us.
02:34Reflect properly. When I get back, if this place isn't spiteless, you'll regret it.
02:40The door slammed shut again. I really wanted to go to Grandma Ruth's, but maybe I really didn't
02:45deserve it. Aren't we bringing Stella? It's Christmas Eve.
02:50Bring her for what? She doesn't want to go. Let her stare at the wall and think about her sin.
02:54The car engine started. The world went still. I was hungry. I opened the paper bag and ate two cookies.
03:00Sweet. Rich. Better than anything Mom had ever allowed me. A few minutes later, my lips started
03:06to tingle. My tongue felt thick. My throat itched. I'd felt this before, when I accidentally ate some
03:12of Chloe's birthday cake as a child. Mom had said I was faking, but then too. So I told myself
03:17it was
03:17nothing. I reached for paper and pen. There was a rule. Whenever Rune warned me, I had to write a
03:23thousand word apology. My notebook was already full of them. Page after page of I am a bad seed.
03:29This time I couldn't write a thousand word. I scribbled just one line. Mom, please believe me
03:33just once. I'll be good. The pen slipped among the fingers. My body felt lighter. The tightness in my chest
03:38faded. Did Rune finally accept me? I wanted to tell Mom the good news. I ran out the door. I
03:44saw Mom and
03:45Dad loading gifts into the trunk. Mom! Rune accepts me! I'm a good kid now! They didn't hear. I ran
03:52closer, tried to hug them. I passed straight through their bodies. So I was still a bad kid after all.
04:02Suddenly my spirit felt chained. I could only follow Mom. The car pulled away slowly. Mom sat in the
04:09front seat touching up her lipstick. Chloe sat in back surrounded by snacks. Mom, I want princess
04:15dress from the big mall. It's yours. As long as our Chloe stays them good, I'll buy you ten of
04:21them.
04:22Mom's the best! I watched, chest aching. I remembered the old coat I wore. A hand-me-down from our
04:29cousin,
04:30three years old. The cuffs were frayed, yellow stuffing poking out. This winter was brutal. My hands
04:36were covered in chillblains. I asked Mom for a new one. Mom? What did she say? You have clothes.
04:42Don't be greedy at your age and don't be veiny on top of being rotten.
04:49Laughter filled the car. Dad tried to speak once and got shut down. They really had forgotten me.
04:56The car drove for an hour and stopped at Grandma Ruth's old farmhouse.
05:00Oh, Chloe's grown so tall, so pretty. Such a sweet girl. Here, Auntie got you that big princess doll
05:10you wanted and new boots, too. Chloe beamed, arms piled high with shiny wrapped presents. Mom glowed,
05:18soaking up every compliment. The long oak table groaned under platters of food steaming hot. I drifted in
05:24and stood in the corner. I was a ghost. I wasn't hungry. Still, I swallowed hard. There was the pot
05:30roast
05:30I loved and that sweet cinnamon bread. Grandma Ruth carried out a fresh bowl of the pudding.
05:37She looked around and frowned. Evelyn, where's Stella?
05:45It's Christmas Eve. How could you leave a child home alone?
05:48Air went quiet for a second. Mom, don't mention that, Jinx. She stuffed the shrimp into Chloe's mouth
05:56and wiped her hands. That girl has a rotten heart. Last night, she tried to blow up Chloe with a
06:02firework. If my spirit serpent hadn't sensed the malice and warned us, Chloe could have died.
06:08Oh my god, so vicious? So young and already so evil? That's why I left her home to reflect.
06:14No dinner until I say so. She's probably faking dead right now for sympathy.
06:21I didn't! Chloe wanted to light it herself! I was trying to protect her!
06:25No one heard me. I tried to grab Grandma Ruth's hand. My fingers went straight through her shoulder.
06:30Evelyn, is that serpent really so magical? Can it actually tell good from bad? Of course! I paid a
06:36fortune for that familiar. Anyone with a dark heart gets attacked right away. Stella gets threatened
06:41every time she comes near. What does that tell you? She's rotten to the core. I'd heard it a thousand
06:46times before, but hearing Mom say it in front of the whole family still tore me apart. Now everyone
06:51knew. I was an irredeemable bad seed. Mom glanced at the screen and see? See? I told you she was
07:00faking.
07:01Calling to bother me, she's obviously fine. Ignore her. Let her stew for a few days. She had no idea
07:07the
07:07call wasn't from me. After dinner, Aunt Karen suggested a family photo. Come on, everyone
07:13together! The moment the shutter clicked, I floated next to her. I tried to squeeze into the picture,
07:18even dead. I wanted to be in one family photo, but when the image showed on the camera screen,
07:23there was only empty air where I stood. Of course I wasn't there. It had always been like this.
07:27Stand farther back. Don't block Chloe's light. Every family photo, Mom would wave or she would shove the
07:32camera at me. You take the picture. You don't look festive if any way. You'd ruin the luck.
07:37So I never had a family photo when I was alive. That night, everyone watched the holiday TV
07:42special in the living room. Chloe bounced around on the sofa. The room went silent. Oh my goodness!
07:50That was a precious family heirloom! It wasn't me! It was Stella!
07:57It was Stella's dark aura that broke it! Mom immediately hugged Chloe and comforted her.
08:03Yes, yes, it must be Stella's doing. Last time she was here, I saw her staring at that Vance for
08:07ages.
08:07She's such a bad seed. She even picks Christmas Eve to ruin everyone's night.
08:11Evelyn, Stella has been home the whole time. Dad muttered quietly.
08:14What do you know? That kind of bad seed is an expert at sneaky tricks. She probably set something up.
08:20Look how scared our Chloe is. Grandma Ruth sighed. Forget it. It's just a vase. Accidents happen.
08:26Don't blame the child. Evelyn, what do you feed that snake? Why does it listen so well to Chloe?
08:32The familiar has a spirit too. It only eats the snacks Chloe feeds it. Chloe is kind and blessed.
08:37The serpent naturally likes her. Whenever Stella tries to feed him, Roan threatens her. Though their
08:42energies don't match, even the animal rejects her evil. Then our neighbor, Aunt Linda, called Mom.
08:49Hello, Evelyn. It's me. I noticed your house lights have been off all night. It's Christmas Eve.
08:54Why no lights on? No sound inside either. Is everything okay? My spirit jolted. Finally,
08:59someone noticed something was wrong. Linda, don't worry. That girl is doing penance. I told her to reflect in
09:07the dark. No lights, no noise. She's too wild. She needs discipline. After she hung up, Mom opened
09:12the smart home app on her phone. She checked the electricity usage. Almost zero. She's so stubborn,
09:18she won't even turn on the heat. Fine. Let's see how long she lasts. Freeze to death for all I
09:22care.
09:23I stared at that zero on the screen. My heart turned to ice. I was already dead. Dead people don't
09:28need heat.
09:29The temperature rose the next day. Good weather for the living. A nightmare for my corpse. My corpse
09:34began to change. On the fourth evening, the property manager finally called Mom. Mrs. Evelyn,
09:39you need to come home right away. The neighbors have been complaining nonstop.
09:44A terrible stench is coming from your house. We knocked, but no one answered. Is something dead
09:49in there? It must be that filthy Stella. She did it to get back at me. Left garbage rotting in
09:55the
09:55living room. I've had enough. She's asking for it. The whole drive home, she didn't stop. Every word was
10:01that. When I get there, I'm going to skin her alive, turning the house into a dumpster.
10:05Has she no shame? Mom, you don't need to do that anymore. I'm already dead.
10:13This smell. Evelyn, something's wrong. It doesn't smell like garbage. It smells like...
10:17She did it on purpose. To disgust me. I'll deal with her.
10:22She jammed the key into the lock.
10:25Stella, you get up right now!
10:28Her voice cut off, in the center of the living room. I lay there, beside me, the paper bag of
10:35cookies. Mom froze where she stood. She saw the note clutched tightly in my hand. The apology I
10:42wrote on Christmas Eve. I had still hoped Mom would forgive me. I floated beside my corpse, watching her
10:50horrified face. I wanted to tell her what the note said, but now I couldn't even pick up the paper.
10:55I really was good.
10:56A full minute passed before Mom reacted. She stumbled back and slammed into the cabinet. The
11:01vase wobbled, nearly fallen.
11:03Fake. This is fake. It has to be fake!
11:10It's just special effects makeup! Are you trying to scare me to death?!
11:14Her eyes widened, searching my body for any sign of breath. But the cold was real. The stillness
11:19was real. Dad rushed in. He saw the scene and his legs gave out. He dropped to his knees.
11:25Stella! Evil Evelyn!
11:29Dad broke down, sobbing.
11:31Stella is really dead!
11:32Impossible! She's a bad seed!
11:35Bad seeds have hard lives. How could she die so easily? Only good people die young! A curse
11:41like her is supposed to live forever! Suddenly, she spotted the herbal charm I dropped. She picked it up.
11:49The familiar. Yes, the familiar will know she's faking!
11:54Then she turned to Rune. Familiar! Strike! Show them she's faking!
11:59She reached into the cage to grab Rune. Then, the unthinkable happened. The serpent,
12:03that was usually calm around Mom, suddenly acted like missing a ghost. It sank its fangs deep into Mom's
12:09face. Mom screamed into him. She stared at the serpent in disbelief. Familiar? Why are you attacking me?!
12:21I'm a good person! Rune ignored her. It retreated to the corner, still in full attack posture.
12:28Neighbors heard the noise and called the police. Hello? Police?
12:33Sirens wailed outside the door. Police in the medical exam sealed the scene with yellow tape. The
12:38examiner and middle-aged masks and gloves crouched beside my body. Severe anaphylactic shock.
12:44Throat fully closed. Preliminary cause of death. Airway obstruction from a severe allergic reaction.
12:50Preliminary cause of death. Airway obstruction from a severe allergic reaction. Peanut. The child was
12:56deathly allergic. She suffocated. Mom, I want to go to my room. Stella! Stella is so scary!
13:03She reached for the cage to comfort herself with Rune. The serpent struck at her face. Chloe screamed
13:08and cried. The police took the cage as evident. Then the animal behavior expert walked in. He looked
13:13at the thrashing serpent and sniffed the air. The snake is in a full defensive,
13:17panic state. The expert stared at the herbal charm and Mom- Hand it over.
13:24These are the strongest natural snake repellents in the world. To a serpent, this smells like
13:29burning poison. Impossible! That's a sacred evil waiting charm!
13:35In the interrogation room, the lights were cold and blinding.
13:39I am the seventh daughter of a seventh daughter. The serpent can tell good from evil.
13:45It bit Stella because she carried dark aura. I didn't hurt her. I was cleansing her.
13:51The officer across from her looked at her like she was crazy. The door opened. The animal expert
13:57entered with a thick report. He slapped it on the table.
14:01Enough with the superstition. You claim the serpent can tell good from evil. Let me explain the science.
14:07The deceased had been wearing the charm you gave her all along. That's the real reason the serpent hated
14:12her. Think about it. The second you held that charm, the serpent attacked you.
14:20No. Impossible.
14:27It was to drive out evil. I was helping her. Your other daughter is covered in candy,
14:32cookie crumbs, and catnip scents. Plus expensive hand cream. Those are scents snakes tolerate or even
14:39like. Plus all the sugary snacks she fed it. Of course it treated her like a safe zone and food
14:42source. That's why it curled around her neck so gently. This is your so-called spirit serpent
14:46telling good from evil? You turned your own daughter into a target.
14:51I won't listen! You're all lying! I did it for her! For this family!
15:00She broke down in the interrogation room convulsing. I floated beside her listening to the expert's
15:05words. The heavy stone that had passed on me for over 10 years finally dropped. So that's how it was?
15:12It wasn't heaven hating me. I wasn't born a bad seed. It was the smell that the serpent hated. I'm
15:20glad
15:21I wasn't a bad seed. Part of the interrogation footage leaked online. The story of the superstitious
15:28mother who killed her daughter with cleansing chemicals went viral. Netizens flooded the commons
15:33with rage. That's not a mother. That's an enemy. That poor girl died thinking it was all her fault.
15:42Superstition kills! There were still people in this world who understood. Dad was home sorting through my
15:49things. Inside my pillow he found a small notebook wrapped in plastic. My diary. His hands shook as
15:56he opened the first page. Dad sat on the messy bed holding the yellowed notebook. It was my diary
16:04and my last testament. The handwriting was childish. Some pages still had dried blood. October 5th.
16:10Sunny. Mom locked me in the room again. In the morning I tried to bring her slippers. Rune hissed and
16:16struck the air near my hand. It was because you didn't give Chloe your bus seat. The serpent saw
16:21your bad heart. Next time I'll definitely give up my seat. Then Rune won't bite me, right? Dad's
16:28hands trembled. Tears fell onto the pages. He turned the page. December 1st. Cloudy. Today I secretly took
16:35off the charm necklace for a few minutes while I washed up. Something amazing happened. Rune didn't
16:40lunge at me today. Mom! Mom! Instead, Mom scolded me for being careless. Said I had dropped the
16:47protection. The evil was back. She tied the charm tighter. Doubled the herbs. Then Rune struck at my
16:54hand again. Mom was finally satisfied. This was normal. The last page was messy, written in despair.
17:01I finally understand. Mom's love is the smell of that charm. When I wear it, Rune lunges at me and
17:07Mom feels at
17:07ease. If Rune doesn't lunge, Mom thinks something is wrong with me. So I'll keep wearing it. As long
17:14as Mom is happy. As long as she doesn't lock me away again. But Mom, I'm so hungry, so cold.
17:21Please
17:21just look at me once. Every sentence stabbed like a poisoned blade. Dad finished reading and let out
17:27a choked roar. I'm a bastard. Why didn't I see it sooner? Stella, Dad is sorry. The police made a
17:35copy
17:36of the diary and showed it to Mom. No! No! The moment she saw the diary, she went quiet.
17:44She stared at the words. Each one turned into snakes, mouths open, biting her heart. She finally
17:50understood. For over ten years, her daughter had played a long performer, just to win a scrap of
17:55love. Hallucinations hit her. Snakes everywhere on the floor, ceiling, table, hissing at her.
18:02You're the bad seed! Go away! All of you! Don't bite me! I know I was wrong! Don't bite me!
18:11Dad came to handle paperwork. He slammed the divorce papers on the tape. The slaps snapped her out of the
18:16frenzy. Sign. I refuse to live with a murderer anymore. I'm taking Chloe and moving. You will
18:25never see her again. Mom held her face, staring at Dad in disbelief.
18:31You're abandoning me too? I did it for this family! Dad turned and left without looking back.
18:39The first night after they moved, Chloe started having nightmares.
18:44She dreamed of the serpent she once loved wrapping around her neck, squeezing tighter.
18:48The scarf she used to be proud of had become a noose. Save me! The snake is biting me!
18:56No one answered. On the seventh night, I returned to the empty house. Mom had been released on bail.
19:03She huddled in the corner of the sofa, shaking. No lights on. I floated in front of her. She
19:10couldn't see me, but she felt the cold. She looked up slowly, eyes hollow. I reached out to wipe the
19:16tears on her face. Were they tears of regret or fear? My hand stopped halfway. It didn't matter
19:23anymore. Then the police called with news. Ms. Evelyn, the aggressive serpent had been
19:28e-dunited. The serpent had been transferred to a wildlife rescue center. Mom heard it and let out a
19:32scream that didn't sound human. Mom went mad. She became convinced the house was full of cold presences.
19:38Finally, her eyes locked Chloe to get her toy. Dad was downstairs moving box. Chloe slipped
19:44upstairs for her Elsa doll. Mom saw her and her eyes lit up.
19:48Chloe, why aren't you being good anymore? You've been having nightmares lately.
19:53Is it Stella's dark aura clinging to you? Don't worry. Mom knows how to fix you,
19:59just like she fixed Stella. I don't want to! I want Dad!
20:02You're rejecting Mom too? You think Mom is the bad one? No! You must reflect, just like Stella did!
20:09Once the evil leaves, we'll be good mother and daughter again!
20:13Neil, don't come out until the spirits forgive you!
20:17Mom! Mom, let me out! I'm scared!
20:20Stella never screamed like this. Why are you so delicate, and do it? The spirits are watching.
20:26Stella was stupid! I lit the fireworks that day! I wanted to see her get burned! I hated her! Let
20:31me out, you crazy wit!
20:34The words hit like lightning. Mom had always believed I tried to hurt Chloe, but the real malice had been
20:39in Chloe all along,
20:40and the so-called spirit serpent never bit the truly evil one. It only curled around her gently.
20:45All the talk of telling good from evil, of being a psychic heir. It had been a complete joke for
20:50the start.
20:50Good and evil had been flipped by her own prejudiced superstition. I floated in the house watching,
20:55no satisfaction, only endless. Dad heard the scream and broke in. He found Mom slumped on the floor outside
21:00the store. She rocked back and forth, whispering the same words again and again. Mom never recovered.
21:09She was sent to a psychiatric hospital. In the hospital, Mom became quiet. Too quiet. She didn't speak.
21:16She didn't eat unless reminded. She spent every day sitting by the window, holding the same small
21:21paper bag. She read the warning label on the back over and over. Contains peanuts. Until the ink wore off.
21:29Until the bag fell apart in her hands. She kept saying she could see Stella.
21:34Stella is here. Stella is standing by the window.
21:41Stella, Mom didn't know. Mom didn't know. Will you forgive Mom?
21:47That silence hurt her more than any beating. She also felt an icy serpent forever wrapped around
21:52her neck. Any bad thought. Wanting to eat, sleep, or rest. And the invisible serpent would tighten
21:58until she choked. She wasted away. Dad visited once. Through the glass he looked 10 years older,
22:05hair completely white. He looked at the mad woman with no love left, only exhausted.
22:10Chloe refuses to see you. I scattered Stella's ashes in the sea. She suffered too much in this house.
22:16Next life, let her swim free. Somewhere clean.
22:22Don't scatter them! Don't! Leave them for me! I need to atone! If you scattered her,
22:28she won't find her way home! I want to see her!
22:31Dad shook his head and hung up the phone. He turned and left without looking back.
22:36Mom's condition grew worse. She started digging through the hospital trash. She ate anything she
22:41found. Orange peels, paper scraps, even wall plaster. One day, she found a broken doll in the
22:46flower bed. Her eyes lit up with frightening and she treated the broken doll like treasure. She held
22:51it carefully in her arm. Stella, you came back. Mom is sorry. She spent her days talking to the doll,
23:01rocking. It became her only pillar. Her only way to atone. Mom died on a stormy night. In her final
23:09moment, she seemed to gain a flicker. She reached out a trembling hint, clawing at the air, as if
23:13trying to catch the figure she had once locked outside on a cold night. Stella, in the next life,
23:20I'll treat you well. I simply watched her quietly. No resentment, no hatred. I whispered, though she
23:28couldn't hear. Mom, in the next life, I don't want to see you. Mom's hand dropped heavily. The heart
23:35monitor flatline. Dad, who had stayed hidden from the gossip and the paralyzed daughter, took the
23:41last money from selling the house and fled by night car to a small border town. He thought if
23:45he ran far enough, he couldn't follow. He rented a run-down place and drank himself into a stupor
23:51every day. One freezing winter night, drunk, he staggered along the icy riverbank. He saw a little
23:56girl in a red coat crying in the middle of the river. The silhouette looked just like me.
24:01Stella? He slurred, old guilt mixing with alcohol. Dad is coming to save you. Dad won't hide this time.
24:09He stumbled onto the thin ice. Crack. The ice broke. His legs froze instantly. He didn't drown
24:15right away. He was trapped in the hole, frozen alive into an ice statue.
24:21A golden door of light opened ahead. On the other side, I saw a young couple standing in a field
24:27of
24:27flower. The woman gently stroked her swollen belly. The man was building a cradle for their unborn child.
24:36Honey, what should we name her? The woman asked with a smile. Let's call her Ileana. The man said
24:41full of love. Our own little son. May she be warm her whole life, loved and cherished. My spirit was
24:47called forward. I smiled and stepped through the light. A loud newborn cry broke the dawn of the new
24:53world. The man excitedly lifted me, kissing my rosy cheeks. Honey, look. Eliana's smiling.
24:59This child looks blessed. The woman gently took me and held me to her heart. The heartbeat there was
25:06strong, warm, the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. In this life, my name is Eliana. I am a
25:12child
25:13born to be loved.
25:22Mom was obsessed with science-based parenting. So when my twin sister Mia and I were born,
25:27she strapped truth bands on us. Green light meant truth. Red light meant a lie. But Mia's band,
25:33always green, even when she lied. Mia! What are you doing?
25:42Mom!
25:47What? Lily? Was it you?
25:49I saw her, Mom. It's Lily.
25:52No! Not me! Look! It was Mika!
25:58Mom, please! It wasn't me, I swear! Mom, Lily's lying. Look, my band green. I'm telling the truth.
26:05I know, sweetie. Tech doesn't lie. You're an honest girl, and she's full of it.
26:10You broke it and tried to pin it on Mia. Bad behavior has a price, Lily.
26:14No, Mom. I'm sorry. Please don't.
26:28Mom, I swear. It wasn't me.
26:33Clean it up. Every single piece. Or you don't eat today.
26:38I'm Mommy's favorite daughter.
26:48Mom, I wasn't lying. Why don't you believe me?
26:54I think it's really good. It is.
27:01No treats for liars. You get the greens. Here you go, sweetie.
27:06Your favorite.
27:08Thank you, Mom. I love you.
27:11But, Mom, these make my stomach hurt like it's burning. Do I have to, please?
27:18So, you mean you're allergic to broccoli now?
27:23Show me your band.
27:25Show me!
27:29It's red! Lily's lying again!
27:31I knew it, Lily. Why can't you just be honest like Mia?
27:34No, Mom. I'm not lying. I promise it's true.
27:39I'm not!
27:40Enough! Eat it! Every single bite. I am so sick of your lies.
27:45She doesn't want to eat. Just leave it.
27:47Are you serious, Eric?
27:48The band is red.
27:49She's lying to us!
27:50No wonder Lily's turned out so bad. This is all your fault!
27:54Evelyn, are you serious?
27:55You're always too indulgent with her. No wonder she's so disobedient.
27:59Indulgent? I'm just trying to give her a half.
28:01Lily! This is all your fault! You made them fight!
28:04Mom! Dad! Stop! I'm sorry! I'll eat it! I'll be good!
28:12I told you she was faking. She's completely fine.
28:15I can't say anything else. If I do, they'll just start fighting again.
28:23Mom! Hurry! I don't want to miss the fireworks!
28:26Lily! What are you doing? Hurry up!
28:28Mom, I think I'm gonna puke. My stomach is killing me.
28:33Mom, I think I'm allergic.
28:35Give it a rest, Lily.
28:38Please. Mom, I need a doctor.
28:41You mean it?
28:43Lily! Where's your truth band?
28:46Wait. You took it off? Are you trying to cover it up?
28:49No. I was just washing my hands.
29:00Okay. The stomach ache. Truth or lie?
29:05It's true.
29:08Unbelievable! You're faking being sick just for attention?
29:13Mom, I'm telling the truth!
29:20It hurts! Mom! Mom, please stop!
29:23Pain is a good teacher. You're grounded. Stay in your room until that band turns green.
29:31Mom. Help.
29:38Mommy, did you come to save me?
29:46I almost forgot Mia's gloves.
29:49You done yet? You really have to ruin tonight?
29:53I'm not lying, Mom.
29:54She's pale. Maybe we should take her to the-
29:56Impressive, isn't it? Give her an Oscar already.
29:59Too bad the data says she's full of it.
30:02Fine. Let's just go.
30:04Mom, don't go! Mom, don't go!
30:07Mom!
30:11Mom! Mom!
30:14Mom!
30:15You stay put. Don't you dare come out until that light changes.
30:19Mommy, please. I'm really hurting. It feels like I'm dying.
30:25Okay. Then go ahead.
30:30You're such a disappointment, Lily.
30:38All right, everyone. Let's go.
30:41We are not letting her ruin New Year's Eve.
30:44Finally! Fireworks!
30:49Mom! Help!
30:52Mom is right. I must be lying.
30:55I'm not really in pain.
30:56I'm fine. It doesn't hurt.
30:58I need to write my apology, or Mommy will be angrier.
31:03I'm sorry. I'm a liar. I messed up.
31:07But it hurts so bad. I wasn't lying, really.
31:13Mom, why don't you believe me?
31:16Are you sure Lily's okay?
31:18It's an act, Eric. Seriously, who's allergic to broccoli?
31:31It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm cured.
31:36I'm dead? Mom, I'm really dead now. I wasn't lying. Can you forgive me now?
31:45Those fireworks were gorgeous. Especially the smiley faces. Just like my little Mia.
31:51Mom, I'll be a good girl. I promise. Just don't be mad at me, okay?
31:57Jesus! Did we leave a window open? Freezing in here.
32:00I'm sorry, Mommy. I forgot. I'm already dead.
32:05I'm sure Lily's learned her lesson by now. Just let her out.
32:09She better.
32:09If Mom finds out I'm dead, will she be sad? Will she regret it?
32:19Oh, wow. Nice try. What, you think playing dead's gonna get you a free ride to bed?
32:25Lily, you are ten! Not five! Act like it!
32:29Mom! I'm dead! Look at me! Touch me! I'm not breathing!
32:35Ugh, a professional sleeper. Still lying.
32:39I swear. She even lies in her sleep. See? Mine is green. Hers is still red. Typical.
32:46That's my good girl. Let her stay like that. Fine by me.
32:51Let's just put her in bed, Evelyn. It's way too cold to leave her at the desk.
32:54Why? So she can think she won this little standoff? Look at that light! She's still throwing a mental tantrum.
33:00Mom. I'm done. It's bedtime. We're visiting Grandma tomorrow.
33:07Mom, if you'd just come a little closer, if you just reached for my hand, you'd have felt it.
33:13I was already cold. If you never loved me, why have me at all?
33:23That's my favorite. Mom, is that for me?
33:30Mia, you're bacon and eggs. Liars don't deserve a nice breakfast.
33:35Mom, I'm dead. I don't need food anymore.
33:39Lily's still in there? She's gotta be starving.
33:41She's spoiled. Let her.
33:42That's my view.
33:42Ellie's still in there.
33:42And it'sัะธะฟic.
33:42There you go, Dee!
