Ultimate Lie To Me Fansite
Episode 8 - Depraved Heart
A young Indian woman bicycles to a bridge, climbs onto the edge -- and launches herself backward into the water below.
Meanwhile, Cal is driving with Emily. Spotting the police line, he stops and starts firing questions. His old acquaintance, a U.S. Attorney, explains there's been a suicide -- and her sister jumped off the same bridge three days earlier. Noting Cal's sudden interest, Emily asks, "Didn't you used to study suicides?" "Still do," replies Cal.
The Ashraf sisters' brother IDs their bodies, explaining that they came to America two years ago on travel visas and stayed to work, sending money home.
Back at his office, Cal watches an old film of a woman who claims to be in good spirits. Ria interrupts, showing him recent cellphone footage of the Ashraf sisters. Cal notes their identical expressions of shame (eyes down, averted), adding that's not normal.
Cal visits the immigration official, Personick, who renewed the sisters' visas and -- when pressed by Cal over his guilty expression -- admits to seeing them stripping at the Naked Veil, where Cal discovers the girls' performances are filmed without their knowledge and sent to India on an Internet feed.
Cal shows footage of the Ashrafs to their brother, who says he already saw it in India, and when confronted about it, they quit. The club owner confirms this. Ria then shows Cal a police report that another young Indian woman, Rajal Lamba, just committed suicide by jumping in front of a subway train.
Cal wants to talk to Gillian, who along with Eli, is questioning a finance mogul named Joseph Hollin, who's under SEC investigation. Hollin admits to carrying his company's losses forward, but denies stealing. Eli notices Hollin keeps changing his verb tenses. Gillian believes he's trying to protect his daughter's inheritance. But where's the money?
Ria asks Eli about Cal's watching that old movie. Eli says the woman, Louise Mason, was the patient of one of Cal's old professors --and that the woman had received a weekend pass and killed herself. Cal's study of the film in slow motion was how he discovered micro-expressions.
Gillian interviews Hollin's daughter, Carolyn, whose constant use of negative emotion words indicates a guilty conscience. Eli is convinced her father is lying.
Ria then asks Gillian about Cal's old movie viewing. She doesn't believe the story about the professor's patient. "Let it alone," replies Gillian.
Cal notices the dead women's faces share a skin discoloration that indicates a hormonal imbalance associated with pregnancy. A coroner confirms they'd all given birth within the last couple of months. But where are the babies?
Gillian and Eli re-interview Hollin, who offers to return the money and go to jail -- if Carolyn's not prosecuted. Gillian wants the teachers and pension funds to get their money back. Eli wants Hollin punished for his actions.
Ria finds Medicaid bills that show one of the babies remains in a local hospital with an ongoing condition. But the baby is white -- and so is the mother, who explains Rajal was her surrogate, found through a cut-rate online registry.
When Gillian tells an SEC investigator that Hollin is willing to cut a deal, he says Carolyn's already been charged with securities fraud. Gillian asks Eli to phone her. And Hollin tells Gillian now he'll never return the money.
Police raid a storage facility packed with pregnant Indian women. Cal shows them photos of the Ashrafs. They had babies here. They were promised $5,000 but were charged for food and rent, so they were thrown into the street penniless. And the man who hired them works at Immigration.
Personick explains the women were on visas when they entered into these agreements. Cal says Personick is guilty of "depraved heart" murder -- callous disregard of human life that results in death. But the U.S. Attorney needs to prove he knew the sisters' intent. Cal replies that when Personick asked, "How would I know they were going to kill themselves?," his eyebrows went up, indicating he knew the answer to his own question.
Ria says Personick's cellphone records show Rajal called him five minutes before she jumped. Purely circumstantial evidence. Cal wants to confront Personick with a member of Rajal's family.
Gillian accuses Eli of blowing the deal, which he denies. She calls him a liar, notices he's deflecting, and orders him back to work. Eli tells Ria he fingered Carolyn, then took a sedative to relax his face so Gillian wouldn't catch him lying. Ria says Eli shouldn't trust her with this -- and Cal's going to find out.
Cal brings Rajal's father into a meeting with Personick. He claims Rajal called him before she jumped, saying Personick threatened to kill her. Personick admits she called -- but he did nothing. However, creating the circumstances that lead to a suicide is the definition of a "depraved heart," and Personick is charged with second-degree murder. And Rajal's "father" was actually an old friend of Cal's.
Later, Cal asks Ria if she saw the woman's expression of agony in that old film. Yes. "Never be sorry for what you see," says Cal. Ria asks if the woman wasn't a patient. Cal says nothing, then tells her to get some sleep. Cal runs the film again, then shuts it off.
Cal heads home and shows Emily the film. "Is it grandma?" Cal says, "Yes, and there's something I want to tell you" (but we don't hear what he says).
