I remember watching this episode. It was beautiful when the little boy smiled at his mom when they were finally reunited. A great end to a great season.
Even though there was no murder in this episode, it's just got one of the saddest possible endings. The lengths the Rabinskis went to in order to have a child, the sick way they rationalized it, the pain they put Priscilla through... it's heartbreaking.
@@ChristineTheHippie I wish someone would have done that to me. Because I was a miserable unwanted abuse child growing up. Going from Foster Home to Froster Home. And the list goes on, As I get older. ☹️
Dont forget that the poor baby is probably gonna be messed up too. He grew up for years thinking those people were mom and dad only to have that ripped out from under him one day and he's taken away from his home and toys and friends and everything he ever knew and sent back to his real mom who he doesnt know and hes gonna know the messed up story of how he was kidnapped and have to wrestle with feeling guilty for missing or loving the people who stole him because they never did anything to hurt him.
I loved that part, few seconds before this scene starts, is when the kidnappers brought the baby into their home and when they moved his arms, his shirt says "My Mommy Loves me"
The part where that woman is unwrapping the baby they just stole and his shirt says "my mommy loves me". That always breaks me. Like he was telling them you arent my family.
I always love the playlist, they choose every song perfectly for the end like the little boy looking at his mom and the song "I forgive you, I love you all along... so keep breathing because I am not leaving..." 😭😭😭
Goo Goo Dolls - "Better Days" (in the opening) The Good Life - "I Am an Island" Wolf Parade - "Modern World" Keane - "Bedshaped" Dave Matthews - "Stay or Leave" Nickelback - "Far away" (in the ending)
SPOILERS: Other than this ending, and the ending of Fireflies and Maternal Instincts, are there any other Cold Case episodes with really happy endings, perhaps where family members are re-united?
@Fred WucherIn "Bad Night" it was actually with the brother and father. Anyway "Maternal Instincts", "Bad Night" and "A Perfect Day" still involve decent people having been murdered so include sad elements. Although I guess you could say that about the time wasted in both "Fireflies" and this case. Other examples may be "The Road" and "One Night", both cases where one victim was saved. Maybe you could also include "Sabotage" and "Bullet" where likewise other murders were directly prevented. (I think there were others.) I'd suggest a number of cases include happy elements e.g. "Lotto Fever" the victim's last remaining money made it to the intended beneficiary. "Two Weddings" was one of those cases where there was no homicide, intentional suicide in this case and Louie Amante gets to happily marry. "Libertyville" the victim's wife and daughter get to meet his family that they didn't know about. "Churchgoing People" the children of the victim and the killer reunite and look like they will have an improved relationship. (Admittedly as horrible as the mother may have been earlier in her life, I'm not sure why someone with as severe dementia as her was imprisoned, but anyway.....) The "Badlands" the restaurant reopens with the hope it will once again be the great centre for the community it once was. "Justice" was one of the few cases where the victim was basically completely unsympathetic to the extent that Lilly and Scotty work to get the (then child) killer off so it's sort a weird happy ending. Which leads to the fact in most episodes the case being solved and the culprit being identified is a happy thing. "Glued" is one particular example where it seems likely solving the case is going to do a fair amount of good, both for the victim's family and others. E.g. Latrell may not have been the nicest person, but it seems good that he can finally meet his mother without fear of being arrested for a crime he didn't commit. "Thrill Kill" one person who was falsely convicted is released. ""Iced" it seems likely that Molly and her father are going to have an improved relationship. "The Brush Man" the son visits his mother again IIRC after was is implied to be a long estrangement when the abusive father murderer is arrested. ""Baby Blues" is an interesting one since while I'm not sure whether it helped the mum to find out what she did (depending on your views of the effects of repressed memories), it surely helped the father and brother. "Time to Crime" I'd suggest ultimately it was clearly good for the whole family including the killer that it was solved no matter the lingering consequences. "Saving Sammy" the son's condition may be helped by solving the case, and it'll likely also help the sister/daughter in her attempts to look after him. Not to mention shutting down the corrupt administrator. "Knuckle Up" likewise father and daughter's relationship looks like it will improve (even if what began as a missing person's case ended up being a murder) plus and again a corrupt administrator is arrested and that uninvolved guy gets into Harvard (which was unrelated to the case or solving it but still happened in the ending). Plus a son finally stands up to his father although it took all that happened including the murders they each committed for it to happen. (Technically I guess also before the ending since it was before the music.)
Thanks so much for the upload, this was always one of my favourite episodes; one that is so relevant to many individuals in today's society. A beautiful ending for the girl and her son.... she got him back... "tears everytime".
Fantastic Show... I love it & especially their use of music in the closing scenes... So much raps up the story line... But This is a Fantastic Band & an equally Fantastic song...
I’m so happy that woman reunited with her son. I really hate the couple for kidnapping him and believed the woman would OD or wasn’t cut out to a mother. Yes they wanted a baby but that doesn’t justify stealing a baby from his mother. A struggling but loving mother. They’re just as bad as any killer with petty motives imo
Exactly. She was given many chances to relapse on drugs but she rejected them because she focused on being a good mother for her son. That’s what makes her a better person than those kidnappers
@@subscorpion9560 she could have easily relapsed right after the fire when she thought her child died, who could blame her? But she didn't. The couple not only kidnapping her child, they also committee arson. They put her life in danger. It shows you shouldn't judge people
Yeah serial killer would trap women in these rooms and would let them rot to death and one managed to stay alive. I forgot the episode but it's in season 5 somewhere around episode 13-17
Go case let's see more episodes all done is my favorite is when the boy shot a teenager at the high school pull the trigger he has to go to jail dressed as a lawyer attacks his older sister
Honestly, all three had it rough. Priscila spent years without her son despite being clean and making it obvious _she can be beat her addiction._ And while his "parents" were in the horrific wrong for taking him away from his real mother, it was their twisted way in simply wanting a better life for him (although it is still wrong they did that because they refused to accept Priscilla would get better). And that's not even getting to the poor kid: Spending his entire life not realizing the people raising him weren't his parents and having his life turned upside down because of it near the end. But it is still heartwarming with the implication that he knew they weren't his real parents and he would be reunited with his real mother in the end.
Why didn't that couple just adopt a baby instead, or try via surrgocay. They clearly had money. The mom lost out on years with her son. She missed his first words and his first steps.
good thet didnt abuse the child I agree they treated him well if that is were your coming from, but they were selfish to kidnap a persons child.period. Especially since they had other options they could have considered like adoption.
@@TheStapleGunKid All I know is that the social workers who kidnapped this woman's baby stole a dead baby's corpse from the hospital morgue to make it look like her son was dead.
This episode was based on the real life case of Delimar Vera. www.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/03/01/girl.found.alive/ This was a great episode. Easily the best of season 5, which had a lot of bad ones. Still, I really didn't get why the drug councilor and the doctor didn't simply adopt a kid rather then steal one.
@@ChristineTheHippie Complicated sure, but much less risky than kidnapping. Especially when both parents have a high income and a stable household. I really can't see why it wouldn't have worked out for them.
@@TheStapleGunKidI agree. I think it was very twisted to think they could just take a baby and they were somehow giving this baby a better life. They caused Priscilla so much grief.
I really started crying when the little boy starts to smile at her. Almost as if he knew that he was finally home.
I cried when it shows her holding her baby.
I remember watching this episode. It was beautiful when the little boy smiled at his mom when they were finally reunited. A great end to a great season.
They are home now.
Even though there was no murder in this episode, it's just got one of the saddest possible endings. The lengths the Rabinskis went to in order to have a child, the sick way they rationalized it, the pain they put Priscilla through... it's heartbreaking.
Imagine thinking its OK to take someone else's baby because you think "you can give him a better life". How twisted is that?
@@ChristineTheHippie
I wish someone would have done that to me. Because I was a miserable unwanted abuse child growing up. Going from Foster Home to Froster Home. And the list goes on, As I get older. ☹️
It's pretty crazy because they easily could have adopted a child. There was no need to steal one.
@@ChristineTheHippie Not to mention, the family that lost that baby can't properly bury their own child and the hospital just...

What I love about this series was how at the ending with the music playing and no one says a word...
No words can say a thousands things
Loved this episode. One of the few Cold Case episodes that make you cry, yet the ending is finally a happy one.
yea this and fireflies make me cry even though its a happy ending
I always love the playlist, they choose every song perfectly for the end like the little boy looking at his mom and the song "I forgive you, I love you all along... so keep breathing because I am not leaving..." 😭😭😭

Why was it canceled?

@@SteelthehedgehogDX Low ratings!?
I can't believe it

The actress who played Priscilla was great, so convincing. Hope she had a good career after.
She has been acting for awhile before this. She played Maggie Sheffield on The Nanny.
@@Crazy-Cat-Lady-of-CA that was actually quite nice
@@Crazy-Cat-Lady-of-CA that was the whole trippy part for me watching this episode. Just knowing that its the same actress

obscurico maybe “The Road”, in the end the victim was still alive
The House was a happy ending because the victim they were investigating the death of actually turned out to be alive and with the love of his life
In Joseph, the intended victim was found alive, but there were still several murders in that one.

Great show with a great soundtrack !! They should bring it back or rerun the series !!
They do!! Without A Trace as well, it’s on Pluto and live tv.
I was crying so hard at the end...happy tears but still...

Gonna be confusing for the poor kid, suddenly the parents he knows are gone.
For mother or father, it's nothing worst is lost our child 😢💔👦🏻
Essa série é emocionante
nice, it would be cool to see the whole episode, i totally missed it when it was on tv :(
cold case brought me here in search of the other tracks in this episode anyone know ?
the 1st episode of Cold Case I watched ^^
Oh my, I'm crying so much over this....ToT
this episode made me cry like shit; it's my favourite though xD
I challenge anyone to watch any ending of this series, and either not cry or not be on the verge of tears. It's not possible in my opinion.
Stealing her son was bad enough, but having her believe she killed him? It had to take every bit of willpower in her to not relapse.
I’m so happy that woman reunited with her son. I really hate the couple for kidnapping him and believed the woman would OD or wasn’t cut out to a mother. Yes they wanted a baby but that doesn’t justify stealing a baby from his mother. A struggling but loving mother. They’re just as bad as any killer with petty motives imo
And the mother was getting help and clearly wanted to do the right thing for her child, and the couple just decided to ignore that and take the baby

That’s why she’s one of my favorite non-victim one-shot characters in cold case like Darryl from who’s your daddy or the priest in sanctuary
@@subscorpion9560 the show is really good at creating compelling side characters
I never knew my deadbeat mom
Hmmm... how about "Fireflies", or "Saving Sammy", or "Blackout"?
