Cold Case

This episode shows that cops do not always play by the rules. They set their own rules to move up the ladder and it also shows that there are some cops that are out for justice for the regular people in this world.Salvador Martin played by Geoffrey Rivas done a great job in portraying his character. I really did not like him and that was the point. I was sorry to see Greg Vizcaino lose his life because of his belief in justice and doing the right thing.

They always have the best music on this show and I really enjoyed Put Your Lights On by Santana featuring Everlast. I liked the way that Nick set up Salvador Martin and got the truth out of him.

The acting in this episode was so great! The (still) frightened young man, who spent 4 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit; Vera, cozying up to Greg's killer-Greg,unwilling to let the kid take the rap-when he'd talked to a witness who saw the killers, pretending to be half drunk, laughing with his eyss about how easy it isto force a confession out of a dumb kid: 'It only took me 20 minutes," says the killer. Sudden;y: smile gone, mike, hand cuffs, Valens, three uniformed policemen.



"He was drowning...and the next day, he was dead."Stabbed. Boy, it's easy to speak ill of the dead!"Golden Boy liked his boys young and cheap." "He had a coke habit--an expensive one." Stole $10,000. None of this turns out to be true. The Assistant DA was just after the truth, and he didn't care where it came from.

This intriguing case is revived from 2000, when Assistant District Attorney and potential Governor Greg Vizcaino was murdered. The intrigue begins when it is discovered that he was in pursuit of Latin American rent boys and seems to have been around when ten thousand dollars disappeared. More. Lily and co. then discover he was buying cocaine… Was he not ‘Golden Greg,’ as everyone thought? Or are there explanations for all these actions? The plot snakes around all these questions well before we find out the truth.



This is a typical example of this well-plotted show, which, as ever, grips one all the way through the various turns of the plot. The characters also hold one, it should be said.
