Lie To Me - S01E08 - Life Is Priceless.mazysnuthouse.org

The average person tells three lies in ten minutes of conversation.

DR. CAL LIGHTMAN (Tim Roth, "The Incredible Hulk," "Reservoir Dogs") can detect the truth by

analyzing a person's face, body, voice and speech. When someone shrugs his shoulder, rotates his hand or raises his

lower lip, Lightman knows he's lying. By analyzing facial expressions, he can read feelings - from hidden resentment to

sexual attraction to jealousy. But as Lightman well knows, his scientific ability is both a blessing and a curse in his

personal life, where family and friends deceive each other as readily as criminals and strangers do. Lightman is the

world's leading deception expert, a scientist who studies facial expressions and involuntary body language to discover

not only if you are lying but why.

From writer Samuel Baum ("The Evidence") and the executive producers of 24 and "Arrested

Development" comes LIE TO ME, a compelling new drama series inspired by the scientific discoveries of Dr. Paul

Ekman, a real-life specialist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body and voice to expose both the truth and

lies in criminal investigations.

Lightman heads a team of experts at The Lightman Group who assist federal law enforcement, government agencies and

local police with their most difficult cases. DR. GILLIAN FOSTER (Kelli Williams, "The Practice") is a gifted

psychologist and Lightman's professional partner who brings balance to the partnership by looking at the bigger picture

while Lightman focuses on the details. He needs her guidance and insight into human behavior, whether he knows it or

not. ELI LOKER (Brendan Hines, TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES) is Lightman's lead researcher, who is so

uncomfortable with the human tendency to lie that he's decided to practice what he calls "radical honesty." He

says everything on his mind at all times and often pays the price. RIA TORRES (Monica Raymund, "Law and Order:

SVU") is the newest member of the agency, and one of the few "naturals" in the field of deception

detection. She has a raw, untrained ability to read people that makes her a force to be reckoned with.

Samuel Baum, Brian Grazer, David Nevins and Steven Maeda serve as executive producers on the series, which is produced

by Imagine Television and 20th Century Fox Television. Robert Schwentke directed the pilot.
