Lie to Me Season 1-Ep 13

Sacrifice

A college kid misses a bus because he can’t pay the fare, another college kid on the bus looks at him standing outside of the bus and then it explodes….oh did I forget to mention that these college kids were of middle-eastern decent and probably Islamic?  No..sorry they are.    The Lightman group is brought in to try to help with the problem of finding out who might be responsible.

We are turned over to a scene where an islamic man is being interrogated by Deputy Messler and Doctor Lightman interrupts her because he knows something and Doctor Lightman has a better way of doing things to reach the truth.   Doctor Foster and Torres arrive to interview members of the Mosque where Jamal went.  Another suicide bomber in Virginia…I am very glad that this isn’t really happening in America,but it really could only be a matter of time.

Lightman and his daughter have a scene and this shows just how deep their relationship with one another is and then he has one with Torres because she didn’t see anything.   Lightman reveals that he has made mistakes as well in the past and that sometimes they just do get by you. Basically he’s telling her that everyone is human and humans are not infallible.

Lightman gets a call from the secret service, Torres’s boyfriend might have been one of the people who was maybe killed in the bombings.   Torres and Foster go to speak with the family of the second bomber.   They see the two bombers and what is going on with them, neither one of them is acting like a bomber.    Someone set these kids up as suicide bombers because of remote detonators.   They speak with the leader of the Mosque who reveals a former FBI agent who he informed to about some people who might be responsible for things.

Dupree is not dead but he’s not in good condition as well and Torres finds out that Lightman was keeping things from her.  On a side note-I love Zoe, Cal’s ex-wife its a shame that I know now that she’s not in many episodes.   On a side note: why does Chloe wear a key around her neck?  Did I miss something that added to her character.   I can’t wait to watch the second season as Chloe is more involved.

The former FBI agent had tapes that he recorded and now the group is working on finding out who on these tapes might be responsible for the bombings.  Doctor Lightman interviews the father of the second bomber while Loker and Reynolds try to figure out what the bomb was made out of.  This leads to finding out who is really behind the bombings and they have to convince him to tell the truth about the ones who really did it.   They get to the person who is really responsible right before he blows a whole bunch more bombs all at once.  One shot to the head from Agent Reynolds and its all over but for the aftermath.

Foster and her husband separate officially at the end of this episode, my guess is that the husband wasn’t getting better despite his promises.

“do you know what they call a place that breaks the law every time there is an emergency: a dictatorship” -Cal Lightman

“you have a talent and its time for you to realize that it doesn’t belong to just you anymore.”  -Cal Lightman to Ria Torres.
