Cold Case S03E07 – Start Up HD Screencaps

Ah, the good old days. When completely misplaced belief in Internet-based companies fuelled valuations far in excess of any common sense… How much was Instagram? And what’s up with the price of WhatsApp?

With a name like Start Up, the 7th episode of the third season of Cold Case, could be about little else but the death of someone connected with a new company. Jealousies and the potential to make a lot of money quickly can only lead to bad things.

Amy Lind was found slumped at the wheel, well, oars, of a rowing boat on the river in 1999. It was ascribed to heart failure at the time. In the present (or what was the present in 2005) something much like a diary suggesting poison was involved is found on the hard drive of a laptop donated to a school. Then it’s all hands on deck (see what I did there with the boating analogy? clever stuff).

Robin Weigert (Deadwood) makes a final guest appearance (her first of four was in Lover’s Lane, at the end of season one) as Det Anna Mayes. Anna is investigating the death of Scotty’s girlfriend Elisa and brings him some news on a possible lead.

Start Up is the latest entry in the KM UK Summer Of HD for 2014 and there are now 153 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps newly added to the Gallery.

Cold Case S03E05 – Committed HD Screencaps

A body turns up in the exam room of Frannie (Philly PD’s answer to Dr Maura Isles, played by Susan Chuang). When the dead woman’s son comes to claim the body he denies it is his mother. Now we have case of identity theft, a mystery dead body, and a cold case from 1954.

Back then the woman, Bettie Petrowski, was suffering from bipolar disorder and was committed (see what they did there?) to a mental institution as she was considered a danger to herself and others, including her young son.

In the end we get a tragic tale and a damning indictment of the way mental health problems were treated not that long ago. It would be nice to say we’ve moved on since then…

This episode of Cold Case had quite a guest cast list with Natasha Gregson Wagner (Two Girls and a Guy) and Diane Ladd (Chinatown) both starring. Also, not only did Susan Chuang make one of her occasional appearances but so did Kevin McCorkle as Det Gil Sherman. In fact we saw both Gil and Josie Sutton (Sarah Brown) for the final time in this one.

KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2014 commits (see what I did there?) to giving you 120 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps now to be found in the Gallery.

Cold Case S03E10 – Frank’s Best HD Screencaps

On the surface Frank’s Best is about a man wrongly convicted of killing his boss, Frank, the owner of a small delicatessen during a robbery. Of course we all know that in reality that’s just bit of padding to fill out the show around the real story.

It’s a bit of a cliché in TV show circles but in this episode, the 10th of season 3, Cold Case did the ol’ abandoned baby routine. It’s always a way of creating comic moments as the main characters, who we just know are ill suited to the demands of child care despite being so good at dealing with the pressures of modern policing, are left quite literally (used correctly you’ll notice) holding the baby. Of course it had to be Det. Nick Vera (Jeremy Ratchford) who gets to play mommy. Hilarity ensues.

Oh yes, the guy didn’t do it. The son did. And Vera tries to adopt Scotty, or may it was the baby, it’s not clear

As part of the KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 there are 167 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps and 3 promo photos now newly available in the Gallery.

Cold Case S03E16 – One Night Full HD Screencaps

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?

As well as bringing you a new set of 200 new Full HD (1080p) Lilly screencaps for the KM UK 2014 Summer Of HD there are also 5 HQ promo still photos. All are now in the Gallery.

Cold Case S03E13 – Début HD Screencaps

The mother of a girl that died from falling down stairs just before her débutante ball tells the squad of her suspicions over a more recent case. Originally ruled to be an accident the teenager’s death in 1968 has similarities to that of an art dealer’s wife.

Lilly and co. have to investigate the superficial and competitive world of… débutante balls.

Last week’s posting about A Perfect Day marked the fact that in that episode Kat Miller (Tracie Thoms) was offered a permanent position in the homicide team. That’s as in the team that investigates the murders, not the alternative… Anyhoo, this episode, Début, saw Tracie being added to the show’s opening title sequence as a full cast member and not just a guest star.

KM UK Summer Of HD 2014 brings you 195 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps and four promo photos have been added to the Gallery.
