    Incoherent Behavior

    The police hire The Lightman Group to help the investigation of the Internal Affair. The subjects are Detectives Farr and his partner Sharon Wallowski that are under investigation of I. A. Jenkins. Det. Far was video recorded brutally beating the 9-6 gang leader Prince John and Wallowski is supporting him. Dr. Foster, Cal and Wallowski bring Prince John to the office and Cal notes that Wallowski is hiding information. He asks Wallowski to take Prince John back to his street, but the gang leader is murdered when she drops off him. However, a call of the eyewitness Mrs. Phillips tells that Wallowski is the killer. When another gang member is murdered while Wallowski is arrested, Cal feels that Det. Farr and the gang member Suarez have a secret, and Wallowski certainly knows what it is.

    "Dirty Loyal" is an episode of "Lie to Me" where Cal is unbearable with his incoherent behavior, teaching Wallowski how to lie. He claims loyalty to Gillian, but Cal is not loyal to his partner or co-workers treating them badly. He demands his people do not lie but is the first to lie and teach how to lie to a suspect. So far, this third season is inferior to the previous seasons. My vote is seven.

    Title (Brazil): "Dirty Loyal"

      The line "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" that Cal uses when talking to the gang members is a reference to the Seinfeld (1989) episode "The Outing".
