There was this scene, where two Peruvians talk (in Spanish): "quizá se le cambió la mente". This is nonsense in Spanish, as it is literal translation for "maybe he changed his mind".

That's obviously wrongly translated ("quizá cambió de idea" is better, as any junior high English student here knows).

That can only reflect a) lack of ANY respect for foreign followers, b) lack of respect for Spanish language (is not like they couldn't find anyone who could have helped, right?) and c) amazing cowardliness from the actors playing the Peruvians who were given that clearly stupid line to say (you can tell by their accent they're native Spanish speakers).

Sad things you can tell from one single, stupid line. Gringos

Cal Lightman is in an illegal underground fight organized by Ron Marshall, where the Peruvian fighters Raul Campos and Orlando are disputing a fight. Raul wins the fight and Cal walks with him and asks his car keys, offering to drive him home. He scratches Cal and tells him that he will go by bus, refusing the offer of a ride from Cal. A man witnesses their argument. However, Raul has no money to pay the fare and when he returns to his car, he is shot and killed. The FBI is investigating Raul's death and Bernard Dillon is in charge of Ben and The Lightman Group. Soon Cal sees that he is in trouble, since he is involved in the illegal fights and has evidence that puts him at the crime scene. Marshall believes Orlando is the killer and has kidnapped and is torturing him. Meanwhile, Dr. Foster suspects that her boyfriend, Dr. Burns, may be a drug dealer.

"Headlock" is a funny episode of "Lie to Me", where Cal Lightman is in trouble due to the death of an illegal underground fighter. The havoc created by Cal with his erratic behavior, compromising his friends, is amazing. In the end, he resolves the crime, but his methods are too unconventional. Dr. Foster learns the secret about her new boyfriend. My vote is seven.
