Quotes6

  • Detective Hughs: It's been two hours, you think we can trust that pervert?
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Yes. In my experience self-castrating paedophiles are generally telling the truth.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: Hey. I just needed a minute before I went home.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Sure.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: Sophie is 13 months. She's probably walking now.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Emily started around that age, I think.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: She's probably changing so fast. Every now and then I'll see a little girl on the street and I... I think it's her. And I have to... fight so hard not to run up and hug some stranger's little girl. I'm sorry.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Don't be.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: It's just... Alec doesn't want to talk about it. He says he can't. So we don't. I'm okay. You can go.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: No, I'm alright.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: You adopted her five years ago?
  • Peter Burch: Yeah. We waited so long for a child. She made us a family.
  • Lorraine Burch: Do either of you have children?
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Yeah, I do.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: [Shakes her head]
  • Peter Burch: How anybody thinks that we could hurt her... I don't understand.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: I need to ask you a question... Did you kill your daughter? Did you? Did you kill her?
  • Lorraine Burch: How can you even ask us that?
  • Peter Burch: Are you serious?
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: I know you want me to help you so answer the question.
  • Lorraine Burch: I'm not going to answer that.
  • Peter Burch: No, listen.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Did you kill Samantha?
  • Peter Burch: Look, we didn't bring you here...
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Did you kill your daughter? Did you kill her?
  • Lorraine Burch: No.
  • Peter Burch: No! No, no, no.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Ok, I think we can help you.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: You going to be ok?
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: Sure.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: 'Cos I can do this one on my own.
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: No, not a chance. I know what you're thinking and it's not going to be a problem.
  • Reporter #1: Dr Lightman can we ask you a question? Anything from the Burches?
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Off the record?
  • Reporter #1: Yeah, go ahead...
  • [turns to cameraman]
  • Reporter #1: turn it off.
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: It's my understanding that Samantha Burch was seen with an unidentified male leaving a restaurant called The Happy Dragon. Right now police are searching Chinatown.
  • Reporter #1: Ok, thank you.
  • [She leaves]
  • Dr. Gillian Foster: [Looks questioningly at Lightman]
  • Dr. Cal Lightman: Well, Burches could use some privacy, and The Happy Dragon could definitely use the business.
