The Law & Order: SVU squad has to “scramble” when it comes to the finale case because it’s an “unusual” one, Corey Cott warns.
In the May 14 episode, titled “Monster,” a procedural mistake leads to the man who kidnapped a boy being released. And so the squad must figure out how to get Richard Caine behind bars.
“We’re immediately flatfooted and thrown back in order to compensate. And I imagine in the real world, it’s really tricky with this kind of stuff to find secondary evidence or you really have to go and search for other leads,” Cott tells TV Insider. “And so it immediately puts us into a position of urgency because we put together pretty quickly, as you watch the finale, that there’s multiple victims. And so we’re trying to stop this from happening again soon. It really just increases the urgency, ultimately is what it does, and forces us to think outside the box.”
The description also teases, “As Griffin gets closer to the truth about Tynan [Noma Dumezweni], he finds himself in grave danger.” Cott’s character has been caught between the chief, who put him on SVU and was his father’s partner, and Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), whom Tynan wants him to spy on for her.
“The entire season has been culminating in this — [he’s been] between a rock and a hard place with Chief Tynan and Benson and who his allegiance is to. And he has now come across this information with the end of Episode 19 that his dad was maybe not that great of a guy and was covering evidence from a death that he was partially responsible for. And so he’s sort of questioning all of that,” Cott says. “Was his whole life a lie? And then also going, what does it mean if I turn all that information in and betray the chief? Am I in danger? Because now I can’t even trust that the good guys are the good guys. Are they going to do something bad to me? Is there an organized crime situation going on? So he’s really, really having an existential crisis, but also having a physical crisis of, what’s going to happen to me if I do the right thing?”
He continues, “The cool part about playing Griffin this year is that he really is full of integrity. He cares about doing the right thing at the end of the day, even if it ruins his career, really ruins his dad’s legacy. In one of the most recent episodes with Benson, he says, “What does legacy even mean?” And so I think he’s questioning all that, but what he can rely on is his trust in the squad and Benson and his affinity towards his integrity and doing the right thing.”
