Doesn't get up to misrepresent evil (4,2)
I believe the answer is:
lies in
'doesn't get up to' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'misrepresent evil' is the wordplay.
'misrepresent' becomes 'lie' (to lie about something is to misrepresent it).
'evil' becomes 'sin' (synonyms).
'lie'+'sin'='LIES IN'
