00:01Why are you here?
00:03We don't have anywhere to sleep tonight.
00:05So you're homeless?
00:07I had a home and then we left it.
00:11Do you want to call the cops now? It's not too late.
00:14And say what? That he didn't hit me?
00:18We need to get you off the streets.
00:20There's beds at the domestic violence shelter.
00:24You're here. You can breathe.
00:28I'm Alex. I'm trying to piece together how I got here.
00:32My mom is undiagnosed bipolar and she's M.A. right now.
00:37I got into college.
00:39I wanted to be a writer, but I got pregnant.
00:43Now I'm a single mom.
00:46You on parole? No.
00:48You got a problem with background check? No.
00:50This is a trial.
00:51Oh, I'm starting today.
00:52That's good news, ain't it, broke girl?
00:55We compost. The bin is labeled com-post.
00:59Can you read or should I show you?
01:00I can read.
01:04Oh.
01:06I don't think I can do this.
01:08So quit.
01:09I can't quit.
01:11I live for my daughter.
01:17Alex, I haven't had a drink today.
01:18You don't leave a good man when he's trying.
01:23Before they bite, they bark.
01:25I pay all the bills.
01:26Let you hang out with my friends.
01:28I do everything for you.
01:30Before they hit you, they hit near you.
01:32It grows like mold.
01:41Miss Russell, did you file a police report on the night you left?
01:44No.
01:44You can't take a child away like that.
01:46It's grounds for losing custody.
01:48This is an emergency.
01:50You are an emergency.
01:58Don't ever let anybody take advantage of you.
02:04You will never ever control me again.
02:09When I think about the house I want for my daughter and me,
02:12it's not big and full of stuff.
02:15Our space is a home because we love each other in it.
02:37You are an emergency.
02:37I don't have money.
02:37If something is not, then you won't let me go amazing,
02:37If something is being burnt.
02:37So you wouldn't have talked about the house and wcze,
02:38I will never chat with me,
02:38And we're telling you about the place.
02:38This is a self économical event.
02:38You
