Quotes 

• Emily Lightman : Do you remember... that girl at my school who took all those pills and killed herself? I didn't really know her very well, but she was in my art class. And she used to paint these really colorful oil paintings. Just shapes, really. I wonder sometimes if anyone could have stopped her.

  Dr. Cal Lightman : [Nods, very slightly] 

  Emily Lightman : What?

  Dr. Cal Lightman : Nothing.

  [Gives her a hug] 

  Dr. Cal Lightman : You shouldn't think about that stuff.

  Emily Lightman : What am I supposed to think about?

  Dr. Cal Lightman : Celibacy.

• Dr. Cal Lightman : There has to be some link between these girls. There has to be some reason why they killed themselves.

  Dr. Gillian Foster : I know you don't want to hear this again, but I'm gonna say it to you anyway. It doesn't matter how many you find a reason for, it wasn't your fault.

• Dr. Cal Lightman : What if all three women were surrogates?

  Gail : It would explain why we haven't located any of their babies.

• Mike Personick : She worked for me, that's all. Why is it my responsibility what happens to her after that?

  Dr. Cal Lightman : This girl was two blocks from the subway. She calls you to tell you that she's gonna jump in front of a train and you did nothing!

  Mike Personick : Yeah! So what? That doesn't make me a murderer. I didn't threaten her.

  Gail : You didn't have to. You created the circumstances that led to her suicide. It was a depraved heart murder.

  Mike Personick : I didn't murder anyone.

• Dr. Cal Lightman : You did good in there, Rohit.

  Sulman Lamba : Been a long time since I spoke Hindi.

  Dr. Cal Lightman : I'll come by the University next week and we can catch up.

  Sulman Lamba : [They shake hands]  Good to see you, Cal.

  Dr. Cal Lightman : And you.

• Emily Lightman : [They watch film of Louise Mason]  You've never shown this to me before.

  Dr. Cal Lightman : No. Something I want to tell you, Em.

• Dr. Cal Lightman : What have we got?

  Medical Examiner : [Uncovers corpse's face]  Your third suicide victim, Rajal Lamba. This is what you saw on the video tape. It's a ring of skin pigmentation called melasma.

  Dr. Cal Lightman : It's the mask of pregnancy, right?

  Medical Examiner : Exactly. It's a common hormonal side effect. The autopsy revealed that she gave birth approximately a month ago.

  Dr. Cal Lightman : What about the Ashraf sisters?

  Medical Examiner : We finished autopsies on both of them. Each gave birth in the last two months.

  Gail : All three of them? Why would they all give birth and then kill themselves?

  Dr. Cal Lightman : And where are all the babies?
