Lie to Me, Season 1

(Eli calls Ria into an empty room.)

Ria Torres:
Yeah, what is it?

Eli Loker:
It's about the case I'm working on with Foster.

Ria Torres:
I heard the Feds found out about the daughter.

Eli Loker:
I called Justice and told them about Carolyn Holland.

Ria Torres:
What? No, no, no. No, no, no. You're not telling me this. (Eli nods) You lied to Foster? You stopped those people from getting their money back, their retirements?

Eli Loker:
We cannot let people like Carolyn Holland get away with this.

Ria Torres:
Are you out of your mind?! Why did you tell me this?

Eli Loker:
(looking away) I had to tell somebody.

Ria Torres:
Why me?

Eli Loker:
I don't trust anybody else.

Ria Torres:
You shouldn't trust me, either. They didn't catch you?

Eli Loker:
I took a sedative to relax my face. And I know--

Ria Torres:
I don't believe this. You gotta tell them. It's the only chance you have of not getting fired.

Eli Loker:
What? No! They won't find out.

Ria Torres:
(leans in to stress) Lightmen will.

(They look at each other for a few seconds before Ria walks out and leaves Eli alone in the room.)
