Season 1 Episode 7 The Best Policy
"You don't have to do this. If you want to choose your friendship first you can just hand this over to the authorities. Let someone else investigate it.
Yeah, I'm sure they'll do a bang up job.
I'm just saying that… you can walk away.
What if the drug really is killing people?" Lightman asked. Foster could see the responsibility pushing down his shoulders.
"Is your friend lying about his involvement?"
"I'm not sure, I can't read him very well. I see shame and guilt but not necessarily in connection with the drug. I … don't know" Lightman said and took a deep breath. "There's only two people I trust left…" he mumbled mostly to himself.
Foster knew it was hard to lose a friend, but life didn't always bring certainty when one had to choose.
"In this case people's lives are more important than personal relationships." Foster said. "You know most of the times I trust you to do the right thing…" she smiled
"Most of the time?" Lightman asked raising an eyebrow
"I know you, of course I hope you always do the right thing, but sometimes you know you just like to make a mess."
"Yes, but I trust you to clean up, he has no one."
"If he is involved and came to you to cover him, then he doesn't know you as well as you think he does." Foster said and placed a kiss on his cheek. "By the way, two people to trust are better than none."
