And she used to paint these really colorful oil paintings. Just shapes, really. I wonder sometimes if anyone could have stopped her.
Dr. Cal Lightman: [Nods, very slightly]
Emily Lightman: What?
Dr. Cal Lightman: Nothing.
[Gives her a hug]
Dr. Cal Lightman: You shouldn't think about that stuff.
Emily Lightman: What am I supposed to think about?
Dr. Cal Lightman: Celibacy.

User Reviews

The Knotted Mess that is Cal Lightman

Another episode of Lie to Me, another brilliant performance by Tim Roth. He continues to prove why he was the perfect choice for the role of Dr. Lightman. Part arrogant, part brilliant, part introverted, part disturbed, the character of Lightman is becoming more and more of a knotted mess. His imperfection make him one of the most believable and striking on television. In this episode, we slowly piece together more and more about Lightman the man and his past. In a case that strikes awfully close to home, we see new parts to Lightman's part and a new layer to his character. But to every answered question, two new arrive, leaving us with one the most spelling binding ending of the season. In addition, Eli Loker takes in unimaginable step, adding a completely new twist to his character. The characters are taking shape, the plot and the mystery were as solid as ever. This is truly turning into a magnificent show.
