Is One Night a fan favourite? It puts you through the emotional wringer, covering some dark ground on the way to the happy conclusion.
The episode, number 16 of Cold Case‘s third season, is one of only 16 written by Veena Sud during her involvement with the show’s first five seasons. Veena also produced over 60 episodes. Since Cold Case Veena has gone on to develop, executive produce, and write for the American version of the drama series The Killing, which recently concluded with a short 4th season released on Netflix. As an aside Veena wrote and directed a short film called One Night back in 2000. It is not related in any way to this episode of Cold Case.
One Night is markedly different from most other Cold Case episodes in that it becomes a new and active case. A hot one. A man who won’t identify himself walks into the squad room and confesses to burying alive a teenage boy in 1980. His body was discovered and it remained an unsolved crime. Then he says there is a newly interred boy, likely still alive. Much of the rest of the episode is just Lilly and “John Doe”, played by the always busy Zeljko Ivanek (Heroes, Damages, Argo), either side of the table in the interrogation room. Tense stuff.
Will Lilly get the truth out of “John Doe” and rescue his latest victim in time? Did I mention the happy conclusion earlier?
