Lie to Me 1x5

Unchained

Season 1, Episode 5

& Gillian: Anything notable?
    Eli: Well, Caddick’s okay, but Clayton is biting his lip, tugging at his ear. He’s showing an increase in manipulators. It’s a sign of anxiety.

& Gillian: Response time is under a second.
    Lieutentant Clayton: If they were lying, they’d be longer, right?
    Eli: A lot of people think you take longer to respond if you’re lying, but that’s just if the lie is spontaneous.
    Gillian: If a lie is prepared ahead of time, you’re eager to get it over with.
    Chief: So, which one of them is lying?
    Gillian: They all are.

& Lightman: Stop it there. Take it three seconds back. Freeze it there. Cheeks raised, lip corners depressed...
    Gillian: Remorse*. Maybe he knows something. Maybe the group is forcing him to lie.

& Holly Sando: ’Yes. Yes, I do.’
    Lightman: There it is. Slightest head shake no. Now, we do this by accident when we don’t mean what we say. Holly Sando did it every time she said she thought Trillo had changed. And then there’s this.
    Holly Sando: ’You can’t let him die in this prison.’
    Lightman: There. Classic glare*, which is a bit surprising from a true believer in Mr. Trillo. {...} She may be trying to convince herself. Maybe she believes he’s changed intellectually, but she can’t quite get there emotionally.
    Torres: Or maybe Trillo got one of his old buddies to threaten her.

& Gillian: People always think that anger is the most dangerous emotion, but disgust is the language of hatred.
    Eli: Hitler talking about the Jews... Bin Laden talking about Americans... And you during the hazing of Eric Mitchell.

& Torres: Eyebrows up, pulled together.
    Lightman: Fear.

& Lightman: You see how you’re hunched over*? Well, we do that when we’re lying. We try to take up as little space as possible. And you really ought to work on that anger trigger, mate. Raises the blood pressure, and the heart rate. It’s not good for you.

& Gillian: We’re testing for racial bias*. People with unconscious bias find it easier to associate positive adjectives with Caucasian faces. When we shift to an African-American face... the biased firefighters still associate the adjective with the image. It just takes them longer.
    Sylvia: Clock the racist.
    Eli: Oh, they’re all racist. Yeah, 80% of people who take this test are biased. We’re just looking for the the guy who takes the longest.

& Lightman: You’re right. Most people don’t change. I mean, I’ve been there, waiting for it, hoping for it, and then they just don’t. But there are a few, I think, who can.

& Torres: Any other life lessons?
    Lightman: When someone... bashes you around, who’s twice your size, just whenever he feels like it, you learn to read emotions pretty fast. We adapt to survive. Your abuse made you a natural. He made you what you are.
    Torres: Well, I’ll be sure to thank him.

& Torres: So what about you?
    Lightman: I’m not a natural. I had to learn this.
    Torres: Why’d you want to learn? What, you all of a sudden became obsessed with facial expressions?.. I didn’t think so. So who was it? Who made you who you are?
