Recap / Cold Case S 7 E 13 Bombers

Go To

A murder case is reopened when the victim's mother, upon looking through his stuff, finds out he was a graffiti artist.

Tropes:

  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Tut kills Carlos by pouring spray paint down his throat, which he soon either choked on or was poisoned by.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Carlos realized that Tut snitched on him and the other graffiti artists when Gina commented on how Tut's work was the only thing not erased by the authorities.
  • He Knows Too Much: Carlos was killed for knowing that Tut was a snitch.
  • Motive Misidentification: Upon catching Carlos stealing her money to buy paint, his mother Sonia thought he was a paint sniffer.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: "King Tut". How he was tracked down without knowing his real name is just odd.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: Sonia outlived her son Carlos.
  • Posthumous Character: Carlos' friend Leon, aka, Turbo the fastest tagger in town. Carlos' attempt to avenge him is what gets him killed.
  • The Unfettered: Tut stole Leon's "Turbo 108" tag. Under that alias, he tagged many places that taggers normally stay away from out of respect such as churches and graveyards.
  • Wham Shot: The ending image of the episode is Arc Villain Moe Kitchener being shot dead in his car.
