Moral Waiver

All that afternoon, Cal knew he wasn't right. He couldn't even identify emotions right, what he thought was happiness was actually contempt. Everyone just stared at him, looking confused but Loker looked slightly amused. After realizing what he'd done, he left room but Gillan followed.
'Cal? Cal!?.' She grabbed his arm. 'What's wrong with bạn today? bạn have never mistaken one emotion for another before.'
'I've.. I've got alot on my mind at the moment.'
'You keep using that excuse but I'm not buying it.' He looked at her for moment. 'What?.'
'I.. Can't.'
'Or won't.'
'Oh believe me, I want to.'
'No...

Cal met Terry outside a warehouse on the rougher side of town the tiếp theo day.
'Nice place(!).'
Terry opened the door and led him inside.
'Now look Cal, don't try any funny business with these guys alright.'
'Funny business? I don't know what bạn mean Terry.' They stopped outside an office door. Cal peered in but couldn't see anyone very well. When the door opened, Terry went in but Cal was told to wait outside. He tried to peer in again but still couldn't see. He could just hear Terry's voice, saying how they could trust him but the boss wasn't so sure. After a few minuets Terry emerged from the...

Cal phoned Terry and arranged to meet him in his office that night to discuss the deal. He told him to wait till the end of the ngày and he would text him when everyone was gone. He knew he had to act as normal as possible so no one, especially Foster, would notice.
When seven o'clock came, everyone went trang chủ apart from Foster who would normally stay till eight to get paper work done. He knocked on her door.
'Hey.'
'Hey love, bạn alright?.'
'i'm good, just trying to finish this.' He went and sat on the sofa, so she couldn't really see him. He just needed someone to talk too so he could keep his...

"Torres have bạn found anything?"
"No i'm still looking in the drawer, how about you?"
"No i'm still looking through a bunch of boxes that..."
"What's wrong?"
"There's.. there's blood on the side of this one"
What?"
"Yeah hang on..It's filled with feathers"
"What, bring it out"
"Here look"
"Oh my God"
"I know they look exactly like Fosters"
"Lightman does know something about"
"Yeah i wonder what else is in here"
"Let's take a look"

They emptied the box onto the floor and began to tìm kiếm through the papers, They were all about old cases although there was one particular paper that caught Torres's eye, she...

Cal was in his office looking through old files, reminiscing about the days when he was first getting started. He then opened his drawer and pulled out a bức ảnh of his mother. He smiled but there was sadness in his eyes.
'I'm sorry mum.' He put back in the drawer and locked it. He blames himself for what happened, he wished he spotted it earlier.
'Dad?.'
'Sorry darling. Didn't hear bạn come in.'
'You ok?.'
'I'm fine.' He got up and hugged her. 'Hows your mum?.'
'Under stress, as usual.' She sat down on the couch. 'She's been real moody lately.'
'Isn't she always like that?.' Emily threw a cái gối, gối at...

Cal was sitting on the floor in his office leaning against the wall. He kept going over the situation in his head. James? Why did he recognize that name? Why would he just pop up out of the blue like this? He kept thinking about Foster. He couldn't stop

"Dad?"
"Hey Em"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing"
"Then why are bạn sitting on the floor?"
"I just needed sometime to think"
"About what?"
"Nothing, What are bạn doing here?"
"School got let out early today"
"Don't lie to me"
"I skipped class to come and see that bạn were okay"
"Thanks Em but bạn really shouldn't do that bạn need to get into trường đại học don't you?"...

Lightman returned to work the tiếp theo day. He felt bored at trang chủ and needed something to keep his mind off the pain. He didn't want to bump into Foster. He still wasn't sure how to explain what he đã đưa ý kiến the other night

"Lightman your back"
"Torres. Well i got bored at home. So what have bạn been up too?"
"Nothing. Just watching old footage with Loker"
"Aye aye"
"No not like that...."
"Keep telling yourself that"
"Do bạn know if Foster's in yet?"
"No. Why?"
"Loker and i need to talk to her about something"
"You better try her office"
"Okay. Are bạn not coming with?"
"No. Why would i?"
"Well it's about Foster...

Cal was still looking at the blood soaked feather in his hand when the door opened and Gillian and Emily came in. He quickly hid the feather in his cabinet and put his áo sơ mi back on

"Dad?"
"Cal?"
"I'm in the bathroom"
"You okay?"
"Yeah i'm fine"

Gillian and Emily went to the bathroom door and tried the door but it was locked

"Cal why is the door locked?"
"No reason"
"Then let us in hoặc come out"

Cal came out of the bathroom with his áo sơ mi on and acted as natural as he could without Gillian noticing

"Here i am bạn happy?"
"Everything okay dad?"
"Yeah everything is fine darling"
"Why did bạn leave?"
"I just...

Cal and Emily were sitting in his office. Cal was on the computer and Emily was sitting on the đi văng doing her homework.

"You okay Em?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Its just you've been staring at the same page for last five minutes."
"It's just a little hard that's all"
"Well let me have look at it. I might be able to help."
"No it's fine thanks"
"Emily bạn know i know when your telling me a lie right?"
"Yes of coarse"
"Then let me see"

Cal got up from his chair and walked across the room to his daughter. He picked up her notebook to look at the câu hỏi she was stuck on. However instead of finding sums written down...

Cal and Emily were sitting in the living room. Cal was watching TV and Emily was on the laptop

"Dad?"
"Yes Em?"
"Where were bạn today?"
"I told you. Something came up and i could get away"
"What was so important that bạn had to blow off spending time iwht your own daughter?"
"Look can we just leave this?"
"No. No i want to talk about it."
"We are not discussing this anymore okay? And bạn will do what bạn are told"
"Why won't bạn tell me? I mean what is so bad that bạn can't tell me?"

Cal was getting annoyed. He didn't need Emily nagging in his ear. Emily could see that he was getting angry with her but...

Gillian was sitting at her bàn working on her laptop. Emily then comes through the door. She looks upset. Gillian looks up from her work and sees her

"Hey Em what's up?
"Nothing"
She was lying

"Em"
"It's just....my dad. He promised to spend time with me but he just blew me off AGAIN.
"What's his excuse this tine?"
"He đã đưa ý kiến something had come up and he couldn't make it. So i thought he would be here but he isn't so i don't know where he is"
"Well i'm sure he'll be back soon. In the meantime why don' bạn just stay here with me."
"Okay. Just like when i was little."
"Oh yeah i forgot about that. It was...

There's an bài viết in this month's Sky Magazine about the một giây half of Lie To Me, which it says is returning to Sky 1 in Late Spring. It's only a short piece, but I've copied it below.

Love tam giác for Dr Lightman?
When we last saw human behaviour expert Dr Cal Lightman, he was dealing with everything from death threats at a high school to trying to suss if a farmer's plan to blow up the US Treasury Department should be taken seriously. Thankfully, Dr Cal and co have survived their numerous ordeals, and Season Two of Lie To Me will resume in May - but this time it seems the troubles are of...

Cal walked into Gillian’s office and pressed up against the wall. Once he heard the familiar click of her high heels, he silenced his breathing and stood still. Gillian walked inside the room and looked at Cal. She jumped a bit.
    “My God, bạn scared me,” Gillian breathed, holding a hand over her heart. She sat down at her bàn and gazed up at him. Cal smiled back at her.
    “Sorry love, couldn’t resist. What are bạn up to?” Cal asked, plopping down on her đi văng and propping his feet up on the small coffee bàn that was beside it.
    “Nothing...
