I'm sorry I'm late, man.

Please, I need this job.

You had your chance, kid.

I- I can do the job.

The job needs someone to be on time.

I'm sorry.

Look, brother, I.

(door thuds)

I'm sorry.

(door bangs)

(gentle tense music)

(door thuds)

The only reason I'm here in the first place

is because Robert wants to show me this

god-forsaken place.

Oh, jeez. You know what?

I'm gonna have to call you back.

Okay?

I've got five minutes for this.

Alright, get back to me.

Okay. Bye.

(gentle tense music)

(car door thuds)

You've got five minutes.

Okay, well, this is it. Check it out.

I mean, you have to visualize, okay?

But the possibilities are endless.

We could pick this up at a commercial real estate auction

for pennies on the dollar.

A- a- a fraction of the cost.

I don't know, Robert, look at all that trash.

No one's gonna wanna be around that

I've got that under control, okay?

I'm gonna have a team go in there.

We'll have that cleaned up in no time.

No, I meant the people.

How are you going to get rid of them?

Claudia, this is a rare find.

I mean, this is a real gem.

We can make a fortune.

This is going to be a drain on time and resources.

You gotta trust me. Let me run with this, okay?

It's gonna be huge, I promise.

Get this place cleaned up in the next week

and I will think about it.

Yes!

You mess up again? You're out.

[Robert] You got it.

(wrench thuds)

Excuse me.

C- can I just ask?

Okay!

Can I just ask you a question?

It's extremely urgent.

Okay.

Have you seen him?

No, I ain't seen him.

Hope you find him though.

You were out looking for him again, weren't you?

Well, where's my beer?

(tense music continues)

- I- I- I'm sorry, I forgot.

God.

Typical.

I'm out working all day for you.

But you don't even

care about me anymore,

do you?

- Of course I do. - No.

No, you don't!

You only care about that brat!

(tense music continues)

He left.

And you've been out for three hours,

and you didn't bring me back my beer!

Please John,

the doctor said your liver is not in good shape.

- You shouldn't - I shouldn't be.

I shouldn't be drinking.

(Liz gasping)

He ran away.

He doesn't want you!

You pushed him away.

(Liz gasps) (John pants)

God!

(tense music)

Gimme, gimme that!

Gimme that!

(John panting)

[John] God, you!

(door thuds)

(somber music)

I'm not giving up on you.

I'm not giving up on him!

(sobbing) (somber music)

I'm totally stuck.

Could I please just crash on your

couch, floor, anywhere?

[Kim] You're late.

Sam's upstairs waiting for you to read to him.

(sighs) I can't do that tonight, honey,

I've got a deadline.

What? You promised.

He's been looking forward to it.

I know, I'm sorry, but

I'm working on this huge deal

and if I pull it off,

our problems will be gone.

No!

We cannot go on like this.

What happened to that raise you were promised?

Huh?

We need to deal with these now.

Are you gambling again?

You know, don't pull that, okay?

Give it a rest.

I'm already under enough stress.

And I thought you paid the power and gas bill, Robert.

Are you crazy?

Huh, they'll cut us off.

Stop worrying. Okay?

You never thought we would own a house

and look, look at us now.

Yeah, a house we've already refinanced

and taken out a second mortgage on.

Now you got lucky once,

but we can't afford to live like this.

Don't say that, okay?

This deal is gonna come together and when it does,

I'm gonna be there for you and Sam

like never before.

for your wife or girl?

Do me a favor.

Get off the street,

get a real job,

and get your dirty hands off my car.

I just had it detailed.

I did have a real job,

You won't talk to him 'cause he's ugly, right?

What about me? Hm?

What you got in here?

Stop!

- Whoa, whoa! - What's wrong with you?

- Whoa, hey, yo, check. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Back up. Yo, check this one out.

You check this.

Oh, yeah. - Oh, this is

This ain't over, old man.

Yeah, it is.

What did I tell you?

- What about? - Shut it!

Shut up. Shut, shut, shut it!

(Lauren gasps) Oh!

(sighs) They stole my phone.

Sorry.

Other than that, are you okay?

I'm now.

Thanks.

(tense music)

Are you hungry?

Uh, nah.

I really should get going.

Oh.

Sure you got somewhere to go?

[Commentator...] Ladies and gentlemen,

the tension is high

because the Royal Crown Derby is about to start.

(bell rings) And they're on!

Charging outta the gates through a tight pack

as they thunder down the track

with last year's winner Jasper Jordan

already taking an early lead

and is favorite to win this race.

Not far behind and on the inside is newcomer Shiloh,

with National Natasha on the outside.

As they approach the first turn,

Delightful Devyn tries to pass National Natascha,

but without success.

As this pack turns into the home stretch

of this half mile race,

Jasper Jordan shows only a slight edge,

as Shiloh continues with incredible stamina.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

[Commentator...] Unheard of from a newcomer.

Shiloh extends the lead significantly.

The crowd is going wild!

And across the line they go

No! No!

No!

What a race!

What a race. What a

(laptop crashes)

Still things to train

[...Commentor] from these magnificent animals.

(crowd cheering)

Murph! Murphy, come here, boy!

(dog barks)

Good boy.

This is Murphy.

Don't worry, he doesn't bite.

I know her.

[Lauren] Hi, boy.

Don't I know her, Harris?

[Dora] What's her name?

Um?

Lauren.

You came for my birthday party.

Every day's Dora's birthday.

Jimmy, Jimmy got me the cake.

Isn't it beautiful?

Now, Jimmy, be a gentleman,

offer the lady a seat.

- Oh, of course, um.

(somber music)

[Dora] I- I knew you looked familiar.

You look just like my first roommate

when I just arrived in Hollywood.

[Dora] I know I have a photo of her somewhere.

So you were an actress?

Harris?

[Dora] Harris is gonna sing my favorite song.

Harris?

Harris, sing a song.

Yeah, I was gonna sing a minute ago.

Some reason I don't feel like singing anymore.

[Harris] Take you for a walk, hm?

[Dora] Okay.

(somber music)

[Jimmy] Cops picked her up a couple months ago

on a 5150.

She wasn't doing anything, just

dancing in the theater.

She was like a zombie for days when she got back,

from all the

drugs they gave her.

Broke my heart.

That's not right.

One day I- I'm gonna start a place

for people like her

who don't deserve to be out here.

Here, um.

(somber music)

This one's mine, I, uh,

I just washed it, so you're in luck.

Um, no, just take it.

Thanks.

You'll be, you'll be safe with Dora.

She's, uh,

she's clean, she keeps her stuff tidy,

so uh, you'll be, you'll be comfortable there.

I, uh,

know it's not, um, home sweet home,

but

hopefully this will be comfortable enough for you,

just temporarily.

Thank you.

Yeah, of course.

(slow somber music)

(somber music)

[Lauren voice-over] It was always the two of us.

We were gonna conquer the world.

She was my rock.

Always there for me.

(Lauren and Mama giggling)

[Lauren voice-over] I can still hear her voice,

feel her touch.

She always taught me to be kind and help others.

How she used to cry at every movie.

She was my heart.

And I was hers.

That's the rule.

No! No, no, no, no!

I'll stop for good next week!

I promise. Wait, wait, you don't understand.

I need this I do understand!

You don't need it!

- I need it! - No!

- Yes, I do! - You're a mess!

Look at yourself.

[Violet] What do you expect from me?

Shh!

Better.

I expect more.

(soft somber music continues)

(metal clatters)

(wind whooshing)

(sneezes)

What is she doing here?

She ain't gonna last a week!

Go home, little girl,

before it's too late.

[Jimmy] Enough!

She, she doesn't have a home.

She's staying with us.

That's that.

(soft somber music)

Get some sleep.

(foot thuds)

(somber music)

(soft somber music continues)

I bet you're hungry.

Here.

Hey, Michelle?

Oh, thank you so much.

You're the best.

See you next Monday?

(soft somber music continues)

You can eat pretty well around here

if you know where to look.

[Lauren] Well, your food last night

was better than the leftovers in my foster mom's fridge, so.

(soft somber music continues)

Chrissie.

(Chrissie coughs)

(sighs) It's just me.

[Chrissie] Benny, he, um, he

(Chrissie sniffles)

I'm sorry.

I'll say a prayer for him.

That's Lauren.

She's with us.

[Jimmy] Here.

Take these,

for the others too, okay?

Thanks, Jimbo.

Just a couple more stops.

You all right with that?

Okay.

(Jimmy sighs)

Got you next week.

Hey, Robin.

Eat up.

[Lauren voice-over] You never really understand sometimes

until you see it for yourself.

So much is hidden away in our world.

I don't know if we just choose not to see it

or we just pretend it isn't there.

Okay. You ready?

[Robert] Yeah, so if I can get your name

and your address, your signature right there.

You could date that.

We're talking about this encampment right over here.

We're gonna clean that whole thing up.

Bring in new condos, retail.

It'll be real nice.

You forgiven me yet?

I know I love you.

You know, I've been sober for five

five straight years,

and it's a struggle every, every day.

It is.

Just talk to me next time, you know?

I can't be sitting by watching you kill yourself.

I know.

I love you, Harris.

[Robert] Hey, folks,

you live in the neighborhood?

Hm.

Well I was wondering if you'd be willing to sign

a petition for me?

Here, come, stay dry.

Sh- sh- sure. Wha- wha- what's it for?

Well, it's a, a petition to

see if we can get the neighborhood

cleaned up a little bit.

You know,

clean up a little bit of the, uh,

the riffraff.

Oh yeah?

Where are we supposed to sleep?

We're supposed to crash at your place?

Go back to your clean car

and I better not see your face again!

(soft tense music)

Excuse me, we still need to discuss

what we're gonna do about the homeless problem.

It was on the agenda.

Sir, that will have to go on next month's calendar.

No!

No, no!

No!

You get these people off our streets now!

It's out of control.

That's right!

They're hurting our businesses.

It's a total mess. Okay?

We have a huge homeless encampment right around the corner.

You gotta get the cops in here.

Yes!

You need to do something.

I pay my taxes and lot of money to live in this area.

Why should we have to deal with that?

Folks, please settle down.

There are laws that we must follow.

It's not that simple.

Oh, we've been hearing this month after month after month.

Do something!

- Yes! - It's ridiculous!

Keep these vagrants off our streets!

(group yelling)

Enough of this!

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

They're human beings.

Where are they meant to go?

That's what we should be talking about.

We need real solutions,

like housing

and drug counseling,

mental healthcare.

They need help!

(gavel bangs)

(solemn music)

(crowd softly chattering)

Hey.

You're not gonna get anything done down here.

You want action?

You gotta do it yourself.

A bunch of us residents and, uh, business owners,

we're fed up with what's going on.

We've, uh, already done a little cleanup.

You need help?

Call me.

(keyboard keys clacking)

Hi, Gabrielle.

Hi, Jimmy.

It's nice to see you.

Nice to see you too.

I've got a, a little list here for you,

[Gabrielle] Okay.

Let me see.

(Jimmy sighs)

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about Benny.

I'll go check on Chrissie and get her what she needs.

This is Lauren. She needs a place to stay.

Hi.

She got all of her stuff stolen.

- I'm Gabrielle, welcome. - Hi.

We'll get you settled.

Let me check the local shelters and find a space for you.

I'm not going to a shelter.

You need to be somewhere safe.

I'll find somewhere.

Are you sure?

Yeah, but I do need a sleeping bag.

[Gabrielle] Okay.

[Gabrielle] Here.

Take this.

Let me get you some more stuff.

A sweater? Yeah.

Here's a Bible and a schedule for services,

hopefully you can join?

Here you go.

If you change your mind or you need help,

you know where to find me.

- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.

Jimmy, there's a tech company hiring down the street.

Maybe I can set up an interview for you?

Um,

I'm all right.

Thanks, though.

Okay. Well, be safe.

Thank you.

[Jimmy] She's always looking out for everyone.

Hey, why'd you turn down that job interview earlier?

Gotta look out for the folks around here, you know?

(melancholic music)

What happened?

Were you in the foster system too?

No, just

It was a bad situation.

Mm-hmm. (Jimmy sighs)

(melancholic music continues)

Anyway,

I've got a great family now.

So, come on.

Let's go before it gets too late.

[Robert] There he is.

How you doing kiddo?

Mom tells me you're having a great week at school.

Proud of you.

Thanks.

Hey!

What's going on? What's wrong?

Hm?

When are you going to be home?

I- I know, son, I've just been very busy.

You're busy a lot.

(somber music)

And I'm gonna fix that.

I promise.

(Sam sighs)

Get some sleep, okay?

(lips smack) (Robert sighs)

Night, son.

Goodnight, dad.

Hey.

[Kim] Hey.

Sam get to sleep okay, or do I need to go and check on him?

No, he's doing great.

He's sleeping.

What's this?

(somber music)

Oh, this is serious.

Final notice?

Why didn't you tell me about this?

You can't hide these things from me.

(Kim exhales sharply)

(Kim sighs)

Robert,

I don't know how much longer

I can keep doing these double shifts.

How much time do we have?

(somber music)

Um.

You okay?

Fine.

Come on, V, it's me you're talking too.

I got stomach cancer.

Stomach cancer?

Look, don't tell them.

I don't want everybody to be all worried.

There's not much that could be done anyway.

Yeah, there is. There's things they can do.

They, they, they've got cures now.

You're gonna get, you're gonna get better.

Get real.

That stuff costs money.

Lots.

It's just,

it's been so hard to stay clean

and just pull myself together.

I'm in so much pain.

I don't know how much longer I can do this.

(somber music)

(violet gasps)

I don't like this sentimental stuff.

(sniffles) I hate it.

Probably lived here.

Let him be.

What are you gonna do about the guys that attacked us?

Huh, where's our protection?

Go find them, arrest them!

Got any idea who they were?

Isn't that your job?

No one wants us in the neighborhood.

It's, uh, it's Robert.

Listen, I need, I needed a favor.

I was wondering if maybe, uh.

Jeff! Hey man,

it's Robert, listen.

I'm in a, uh

I, well, I need a favor.

I'm in, I'm in a bit of a spot here.

We're doing this construction over here

and they tore the whole kitchen apart,

and the place is a total, total mess.

I thought we'd be able to stay here, but we can't.

I thought maybe Kim and Sam and I

we'd come to your place to crash for a week.

Is that okay?

(tense somber music)

(phone clatters)

(fists bang)

(Robert sighs)

(soft solemn music)

All gone.

[Dora] All gone.

[Dora] All gone.

[Dora] All gone.

Wow.

(soft solemn music continues)

How can they just

come in and destroy all your stuff?

[Jimmy] We're not gonna just pack up.

We, we can fix this.

We can put this back together - You can't fix this.

This isn't fixable.

Isn't fixable.

[Harris] No there. Yes, we gotta go.

[Harris] This ain't gonna work. We gotta go.

[Jimmy] But this is where we were living man.

This, we can't just leave this.

[Harris] We just gotta go. We gotta move.

[Harris] We gotta move. We gotta move on.

(somber music)

Sorry to see this happen, folks.

We'll get you taken care of. Okay?

I've got two places in a shelter five minutes from here,

and three places in one downtown.

Is there anyone else?

There were others. I'm not sure if they'll be back or not.

We are a family.

So you find us a place together or we're staying here.

I'm sorry that, that's not gonna be possible.

Well, then we're staying here.

(somber music)

Oh, you're the best.

Thank you for always being there for us.

I'm sorry that this happened.

Now, we're raising funding to buy an old motel

and I'm gonna need your input on what's actually needed.

Hopefully we can get the support of the city.

I'd be honored.

(somber music)

(photos thud)

- Why are they back?

Are you planning on building the high rise on top of them?

I have no idea. How did this happen?

The fact that you don't even know just shows me

you can't be trusted with this or any project.

I can handle this. Okay?

Like you handled the last project?

I've given you, I don't know how many chances.

You're fired.

Claudia!

Please, my family.

Have some self-respect, Robert, don't beg.

Just pack up your things and get out.

(tense somber music)

(slow melancholic music)

(slow melancholic music)

(seat thudding)

(solemn music)

(gasps)

(gentle music)

- [Jimmy] You sure you don't wanna come?

[Harris] You know, why don't you paint for me?

Watch our stuff though. See you when I get back.

Say please and thank you.

(gentle somber music)

[Gabrielle] Hey! You made it!

[Jimmy] Of course I made it!

Hey,

I don't have much, bu I always have my word.

No more trouble, I hope?

Here, take this.

Quick, quick.

- Gabrielle, I just Yeah?

Wanna say thank you

for the sleeping bag and everything.

Oh.

I'm sorry I was,

you know?

There is no need to apologize.

I'm just happy you found some good people.

Now help, please.

We have a lot of people to feed.

You need, you need some gloves.

Here, so you put one and just pass it to me, okay?

Good.

Next one.

Coming along.

Thank you so much.

(slow dramatic rock music)

(exhales sharply)

Another round, Marcus.

Ah!

You all right, buddy?

Never been better.

Just keep 'em flowing.

All right.

$40 for that and for the ones you had before.

Put it on my tab.

All right.

(slow dramatic rock music continues)

You owe me money.

And who might you be?

(chuckles)

You know, I didn't get paid

for that cleanup that I did for you.

Well, you never finished the job, did you?

So you're not getting paid anything.

Oh, maybe you didn't hear me.

Maybe you didn't hear me?

They're still there.

And because you botched it,

I got fired.

So get in line.

I owe money to everybody in town.

(scoffs)

You wanna know something?

I'm gonna get paid

one way or another.

[Bartender] Hey!

[Bartender] Hey, get out!

(slow dramatic rock music continues)

(flag fluttering)

[Thug] And the old man's right there too.

[Thug Leader] These vets with benefits

make good bank.

(chuckles)

Come on.

(wind whooshing)

(tense somber music)

(arm thuds)

[Harris] Hey!

What'd you do that for?

(tense somber music continues)

[military ID tags clinking]

Harris Benedict R.

Oh, Protestant.

(chuckles)

Hey, uh, you like killing people?

You, uh, you kill kids?

Yeah, you look like a kid-killer.

Yeah, you paint pictures of these dead kids, huh?

(head thuds)

(thug grunts)

[Harris] Get lost, man!

Unless you wanna end up like your buddies.

You shouldn't have done that.

Please don't go.

[Thug] You got money?

Huh?

EBT card?

I got nothing.

No, you got something.

What do you got here?

No, no, no, no! No, no, no, no.

[Thug] Where are you going? [Dora] I'm not here. I'm not here.

- Huh? - I'm not here. I'm not here.

I'm not here. I'm not here.

I'm not here. I'm not here.

I'm not here. I'm not here.

I'm not here. I'm not here

(tense somber music)

(Harris groans)

Look it's the first of the month coming up

and we'll be back then, and you and your friends

better have more to give me.

(foot thuds)

(Harris grunts)

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. No.

(Dora hums)

(train horn blowing)

(tense somber music)

(train softly rattling)

(fire crackling)

[Harris] Yeah well, the good news is

luckily I didn't have that much cash

and there wasn't much left on my benefits card.

But we definitely need to keep an eye out

for these dirty bastards.

[Dora] I know who they are.

I played a nurse in a play

and my line was

"The Nasty Hooligans are here."

It's the Nasty Hooligans.

The - the Nasty Hooligans are

Well,

I'm not letting them take the little money I make

and that's that.

Yeah, I say we stay and fight them too.

And what if they come back with more of them?

[Harris] Yeah, there's no question about it.

[Harris] They're bad news.

How about me and Jimmy keep watch tonight

[Harris] and we'll come up with a plan in the morning.

Sound good?

(gentle solemn music)

Long day.

You got first watch?

You got it, pops.

(gentle solemn music)

(zippers rasping)

[Jimmy voice-over] Is that how you solve all your problems?

[Jimmy voice-over] You just drink?

[Jimmy] How am I supposed to believe you

[John] Shut up. Shut up.

[Jimmy] You just say these

[John] You're worthless!

You are worthless!

Talk to me like that in my house!

[Jimmy] Calm down!

[John] Don't tell me to calm down!

- John, please! [Jimmy] Just calm down.

You're hysterical

[John] This is my house! [Liz] John please!

Take a step back.

You take a step back!

[Jimmy] You call that parenting?

What you say

You're drunk all the time.

Don't you disrespect me!

Stop it, John!

You seriously think this damn kid's worth saving?

(dramatic music)

You're an embarrassment!

[John] Go then! [Liz] No, John, please!

John, please!

[John] Then get out!

[John] Get outta my house!

(dramatic music)

(door thuds)

Don't you

Don't you lock that door!

[John] Open up!

(door banging)

(John yelling)

[John] Turn your back on me!

[John] Get back here!

Come with me.

[Jimmy] Please.

(dramatic music)

[John] Hey!

[John] You're just like your mother.

(door thuds)

That's right!

[John] Don't you come back!

(echoed) Don't you come back!

(TV clicks on)

[Reporter...] Tonight we have reports

of a group of vigilantes

attacking a homeless camp.

Reports of this type of activity

has been increasing in recent weeks.

This one seemed especially severe.

According to the city,

minor injuries were reported,

as well as damage to property.

The city is working to find shelter space

for the individuals affected.

Anyone with any information

is encouraged to contact (door thuds open)

[...Reporter] the city police. - Hey!

(TV clicks off)

(door thuds close)

[Kim] Everything okay?

[Robert] Yeah, great.

How was your day?

(Kim sighs)

[Kim] Exhausting.

[Kim] Yeah.

What's going on here, Robert?

(somber music)

What are you talking about?

I'm just up late doing some work,

watching TV.

[Robert] Everything's fine.

Okay.

(soft somber music)

(sighs)

[Liz] I'm sorry to bother you again,

but listen, somebody said

that they had seen my son around here.

I was just wondering if

[Violet] Look, lady,

I told you last time,

we haven't seen him.

[Liz] Sorry. I was just hoping.

[Liz] Look, he's been missing for a while.

I just really miss him.

(soft somber music)

Here,

so they don't go to waste.

They were his favorites.

(somber music)

Was that Jimmy she was looking for?

(sirens wailing) - Mm.

Why'd you lie?

What, are you gonna report me to the principal?

No.

Seems like she really loves him.

Why didn't you tell her?

Look, drop it.

We don't know that lady

and we don't owe her nothing.

[Lauren] But if his real family is looking for him,

[Lauren] we shouldn't get in the way.

We're his real family,

and we protect each other

always!

Remember that.

(somber music continues)

(sighs)

Don't.

Don't take it personal.

You know?

Anyway,

I'm gonna go meet a friend.

[Lauren] Do you want me to go with you?

Oh no, sweetheart

thank you, I have to go alone.

You sure?

Yes, honey.

Have a good day.

Violet!

Dora's leaving.

Ugh. (sighs)

(soft somber music)

[Jimmy] Dora!

Scored your favorites.

[Harris] Yeah, let's get at that smells good.

(soft somber music)

[Harris] Dora?

Where is she?

(clears throat) She went to meet a friend.

Alone?

Yeah, she wanted to go alone.

Oh guys, we gotta keep an eye on her.

Yeah, you shoulda!

I didn't know I was supposed to babysit her.

[Violet] Oh, come on!

Anybody can see she's not all there.

She's in her own little fantasy world

with imaginary friends.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize

[Violet] This is your fault.

Told you not to let outsiders in.

Should have never trusted her.

[Harris] Nobody's fault!

It's like you said, you know,

she, she's getting worse.

Well,

maybe it is time we got her someplace safe.

[Jimmy] Dora doesn't wanna live like that.

She's family.

She's staying here with us.

What was she wearing?

[Lauren] Uh,

long pink dress with her coat.

Let's go.

I think I know exactly where she is.

- Violet. - Hi.

- Jimmy. - It's okay.

(somber music)

Lauren?

Lauren, wha- what are you doing?

Where you going?

Everyone hates me.

I'm leaving.

Are you crazy? Where you gonna go?

I don't know. Maybe

Gabrielle can

No, don't.

You told me how it was in those shelters.

We're just so worried about her

getting picked up by the cops again.

Look, I- I can't see her go through that.

It's hard to keep an eye on her, I know.

Believe me, we, we're all trying to.

No one meant to blame you.

Promise.

If anything had happened to her.

It didn't.

Nothing did.

(sighs)

We need you here.

She needs you and (scoffs)

God, so do I.

(gentle melancholic music)

(Jimmy sighs) (Lauren sighs)

(Jimmy gasps)

The stars are out.

Look.

[Jimmy...] You see those two

specks of light right there?

[Lauren] Mm-hmm.

I think that bright one on top,

that's Jupiter.

And uh,

I think that one right below it

is Venus.

How do you know that?

My mom,

she um,

she used to really like

looking at star charts.

You know, those little, like,

paper...

We used to do that together,

just go out camping.

She could pick out every constellation

and sometimes I thought she was making it up,

'cause there's so many of 'em.

(sighs) But

but she, uh,

she was really smart.

And

don't think I gave her enough credit.

(somber music)

[Lauren voice-over...] I'm not sure why,

but I felt at ease with Jimmy.

He kept things simple

and made the best of everything.

Excuse me.

Have you seen my son?

(soft somber music)

(staple gun clicking)

(staple gun clicking)

(soft gentle music)

[Gabrielle] There you go. [Lauren] Oh, that's pretty.

Sweet.

Okay.

uh,

not gonna be as good as you, but.

(gentle upbeat music)

(Lauren chuckles)

[Jimmy] Favorite color?

Green.

Yours?

Purple, but not like a dark purple,

more...

lilac-ish.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Ooh!

[Lauren] You know it's, kind of sad, but

in the little time I've known you,

you're probably the realest person I know.

Realest, huh?

Not best,

most loyal?

Loyal?

What are you, a dog?

(laughs)

Realest works.

(Lauren chuckles)

(door thuds close)

(soft somber music)

(birds chirping)

(somber music)

(gate creaks shut)

Let's go, hun.

Daddy, where are we going?

(Robert sighs)

I'm working on that, son.

It's okay. Be all right.

[Sam] I don't wanna go.

It's all right. I know, I know.

We're gonna figure this out though, okay?

(somber music)

(car door slams shut)

(Kim gasps)

(tense somber music)

(car doors thud)

(car doors thud)

(car engine rumbling)

(car tires squeal)

(bag crashes)

[Harris] We'll be safer here and less visible.

The place is up for demolition,

but they won't get around to it for a while.

[Harris] It's not too shabby, huh?

[Dora] This is so nice.

Can we have a house-warming party?

It's so beautiful.

I know my friends will love it.

It's. (gasping)

[Jimmy] Of course, Dora,

but for now it's time to rest, okay?

Oh. Right.

Thank you.

(gentle music)

(gentle melancholic music)

Your favorite blanket.

Violet, thank you.

[Violet] You're welcome.

Violet,

you're gonna be okay.

We're gonna be okay.

(sirens wailing)

(somber music)

(soft upbeat music)

(bag thuds)

(phone beeps)

Hey,

I found them.

(soft upbeat music continues)

[Dora] And I hope you like my new friends.

[Harris] Oh, I'm sure I will.

[Dora] I can't wait to see what they serve us for tea.

I hope it's chocolate cake.

Me too.

(gentle bright music)

Look how beautiful.

(birds chirping)

(switch blade clicks)

Duke ain't happy you skipped out on us.

(tense somber music)

[Thug] You got anything, huh?

You got nothing?

He's got nothing.

Let's go get you and your lady friend's EBT cards.

(arm thuds)

(fist thuds) (Harris grunts)

(thug exclaims)

[Harris] Dora!

I'm coming!

(thugs panting)

I'm not here.

[Thug] Get her! I not here. (grunts)

[Thug] Come here!

I'm not here. (panting)

(somber music)

Dora!

[Dora] Harris!

(foot thuds)

(bag rolls)

[Harris] Dora! Coming!

(candle clatters)

(paper rustles)

(solemn music)

(Violet sighs)

(Harris sighs)

[Violet] Let him go. He's gotta let it out.

Dora,

you were like a second mother to me.

I should have protected you better,

and I know you believed in God

and that you are in a better place now.

[Violet] When I got kicked outta housing,

everybody abandoned me, but you,

you didn't judge.

(gasps)

You just held me when the memories got bad.

(melancholic music)

[Lauren] I'm sorry, Dora.

It shouldn't have happened to you.

(sniffles)

(somber music)

(tense somber music)

[Thugs...] Shh.

Round here, check that one.

That one over there, yes.

I'll check that one now.

Hey, check the one on the end.

Around the corner.

Got her!

Keep her quiet.

(Lauren sobbing)

(Thugs grunting)

(Thugs grunting)

(muffled whimpers)

(suspenseful music)

(Lauren sobbing)

[Lauren] Get off of me!

Stop!

Help!

[Lauren] Help!

(canister thuds) (thug yells)

(thug groans)

(Lauren sobbing)

(thug grunts)

[Jimmy] Three out of three, huh?

(Thug grunting)

[[Thug] Get off of me!

(dramatic music)

(Harris groaning)

(head thuds) (thug yells)

(panting)

Hey!

Hey, hey.

Gimme all you got,

(gasps)

or here's where Benedict R. dies.

Listen, we don't got much.

Just, just take what you want.

Let him go and we'll resolve this peacefully.

Peacefully? (chuckles)

You had your chance at that.

(Violet coughs)

Dude,

my EBT card is in,

it's in my tent,

just, just take it.

Go get 'em.

[Thug] Don't try anything.

(dramatic music)

Oh

she can make a bit of money for us.

That is, if we, uh, clean her up a bit.

(chuckles)

Just leave her out of this, man.

Get back!

(suspenseful music)

Hey.

(panting)

(chuckles)

(Harris groans)

(chuckles)

(Lauren gasps)

(Thug sighs and chuckles)

(suspenseful music)

(Thug grunts and groans)

(fists thudding)

(fists thudding)

(dramatic music)

[Jimmy] Run!

[Lauren] What about Jimmy?

(panting)

(knife thuds) (Jimmy grunts)

(panting and laughing)

(groans and exclaims)

(feet thuds - repeated blows)

(Jimmy grunting)

Come on. Let's go!

(Jimmy groaning)

[Thugs] Go, go!

(dramatic music)

(Jimmy exclaiming)

(repeated door bangs) Gabrielle!

Gabrielle!

Call 911.

Jimmy and Harris are being attacked by the building.

You stay here.

[Dispatch] 911. What is your emergency?

Hi this is Gabrielle from the Downtown City Mission.

You need to send patrol right away

to the abandoned building on 6th and J.

People are being attacked.

Come inside.

Come inside!

Sorry, I can't.

He's bleeding out.

Oh, no, I ain't gonna let you die on me, kid!

[Violet] Hang on, Jimmy!

(gasping)

Look out! Coming through!

(grocery cart rattles)

[Lauren] Can anyone help us? [Violet] Please, we need help!

[Harris] He's been stabbed real bad.

I need a trauma team right away.

(Jimmy groans)

Please, be okay.

Stab wound.

(Jimmy groaning)

Oh, don't. Let them take him through.

He may need surgery.

You need to stay in the waiting area.

But we're his family. We have to stay with him.

Actual family, sir?

He doesn't have insurance.

- Homeless? - Yeah.

He'll be eligible for aid,

okay?

Now don't worry.

Our trauma team is amazing.

I work in the emergency department,

but if you stay around here,

I'll try and find out how he's doing

and let you know.

Okay?

Now you can help me get him checked in.

Have a seat. I'll be right back.

(sirens wailing)

(Thug groaning)

(thunder crashing)

(heavy body thud)

(handcuffs rattling)

(sirens wailing)

(groans and yells)

(sirens continue wailing)

(thunder crashing)

(thug yelling)

(melancholic music)

I want to see him.

Right now, he's not conscious.

He's lost a lot of blood.

You should

go and, uh, and rest.

Come back tomorrow.

There's nothing more you can do.

[Violet] He's gonna be okay though, right?

We still need to run some more scans and tests.

And we'll know more in a few days.

He okay? He's okay?

We'll know more in a few days, sir.

Go home and get some,

get some rest.

But

Go home.

So we just have to go?

Just go?

We don't get to see him?

(somber music)

(Lauren sobbing)

[Harris] Hey.

(Lauren sobbing)

(traffic whooshing)

(somber music)

(cart rattling)

Ah,

can't do much better than this for a hideout.

That's not a half bad lookout either.

(Violet exhales)

Nice, Harris!

(sighs)

Jimmy would've loved this.

(melancholic music)

Want a sandwich?

Come on, kid.

It's been a long day.

You gotta eat something.

(somber music)

(sighs)

God takes care of those who takes care of others.

Jimmy's gonna be okay.

And you got us.

(Lauren sniffles)

Okay, great. Hey, could you grab any coffee?

Thank you so much, appreciate that.

Are we allowed to see him today?

Yes. He's in the ward at the end of the hallway.

Um, I'm sorry. Only one visitor at a time.

Please. Thank you.

(soft somber music)

(gentle melancholic music)

(Lauren sniffles)

(gentle melancholic music continues)

(truck door thuds)

Whoa! No, no, no, no!

Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey!

You can't take my car!

No!

No. Come on, man, it's the last thing we have.

Please!

[Sam] Daddy! My dino's in there!

Don't let him take him!

Our clothes are in there.

At least let me get the dinosaur out of it for the kid!

Hey! (bangs fist)

Listen to me!

You can't take our clothes.

[Robert] What are you doing?

[Robert] No!

(bangs window)

You have our clothes!

- Okay, stop! - What do you think you're dong!

[Kim] Stop it! Stop it!

(truck engine rumbling)

Geez!

He can't take everything we own.

One more bill you didn't pay!

Huh?

(dramatic music)

Maybe you could ask one of your friends

if we could stay with them.

Oh, come on, Robert.

How many times do I have to tell you

that none of my friends have room?

And if they knew what's happened to us?

It's humiliating.

(Kim gasps)

God, if my parents were still alive,

- They'd say, "I told you so." - Oh, oh, okay, okay.

All right? Not in front of Sam.

I just thought the least you could do

is ask one of your friends at work.

Don't you dare.

Your gambling and incompetence

is what got us here.

This is your mess, you fix it!

- I will. - Yeah?

I will.

Okay?

I'm gonna fix this, Kim.

Yeah.

(tense somber music)

(doorbell rings)

(Robert sighs)

It's not bad 'cause it's really,

you know, kind of close to work, so.

Good evening, sir, uh,

we'd like a room for one night, please.

Sixty-eight dollars.

Sure

(machine beeping)

(somber music)

(machine buzzes)

Declined. I'm sorry.

Uh, um, yeah, this, this one will work.

I'm sure this one will work.

(soft somber music)

(machines buzzes)

Run it again, please.

Okay, try it again.

Try it again.

(soft somber music)

(machine beeps and buzzes)

[Sam] Mom, I'm tired.

Got it.

Thank you.

(Kim sniffles)

(machine beeps)

(paper rasping)

Sign here?

(soft somber music)

Thank you.

Room 201.

Enjoy your stay, ma'am.

Thanks. (sighs)

Come on, Sam.

(doorbell rings) (soft somber music)

(soft somber music continues)

Dad?

I'm hungry.

(slow melancholic music) (sirens wailing)

(sirens wailing)

(somber music)

[Gabrielle] Hi.

- Hey. - Hi.

We're all praying for Jimmy.

He's a good kid.

He's gonna pull through.

Thanks, Gabrielle.

That will mean a lot to him.

(fingers tapping)

(somber music)

[Kim] You're the reason we're in this mess, Robert.

Get that through your thick skull!

[Robert] Why is this always about me, huh?

You were the one that wanted the bigger house,

the nicer car!

- What, you think- - Did you forget about that?

This is my fault?

I'm the one with the job here.

Where's my thanks for that?

Your thank I've been working for ten straight years!

Yeah, for what? Your gambling habit?

Because it certainly wasn't for us.

You don't even spend time with your son.

- Stop it!

[Kim] Oh, Sam.

[Kim] Sam, I am so sorry.

(sighs)

(somber music)

You need to leave.

Get your life together, Robert.

What are you talking about, Kim?

Where am I gonna go?

I paid for this room.

Get out!

Don't do this in front of him.

(panting)

I can fix this.

Fix this?

(scoffs)

I mean, you keep saying that

but look at where we are.

This has gone too far.

Just get out.

Please!

(scoffs)

Get help.

Don't get help.

(sighs)

I don't even care anymore.

(somber suspenseful music)

(Kim gasping)

[Sam] Dad!

Sam!

Sam, come back!

(Robert gasps)

(Sam sniffles)

[Robert] Listen to me.

Your mother's right, this is my fault.

I don't want you to be mad at her, okay?

Don't be upset with her, okay?

Okay.

[Robert] I'm gonna fix this.

I love you, son.

(Sam sighs)

(Sam whimpers)

It's okay.

(Sam sniffles)

(somber music)

What'll 10 bucks get me, Skip?

(doorbell ringing)

(somber music continues)

[Kim voice-over] This is your mess, you fix it!

[Robert voice-over] I'm gonna fix this, Kim.

[Kim voice-over] Are you gambling again?

[Kim voice-over] You can't hide these things from me.

[Robert voice-over] I'm working n this huge deal

(panting)

[Sam voice-over] When are you going to be home?

[Robert voice-over] I know, son, I've just been very busy.

(dramatic music)

(police radio chatter)

[Radio] I thought that we had a neighbor who called it in.

[Kim] Oh Sam I'm so sorry.

(sighs)

I feel like I let everybody down.

But I love you.

[Lauren] I think there's something

[Lauren] really wrong with her.

Yeah, she don't want me to say nothing.

But I'm getting really worried.

(Violet coughing)

Spit it out.

(Violet coughing)

Stomach cancer.

We gotta do something.

We can't lose Violet.

Why would you worry all of them?

You said you wouldn't tell, Harris.

I hate hospitals.

If I don't have a lot of time left,

I'd rather just spend it with you guys.

(Robert groans)

You're getting out.

[Jimmy] Where did you learn to do all this?

We did a class at school.

They wanted to prepare us for the future.

Look, I- I

I really appreciate your help and all, but

I'm not smart like you.

You could go to college, get a decent job.

No, stop that.

People love you.

You just have to have confidence in yourself.

You gotta start somewhere,

so you can start that rescue mission one day.

(Jimmy scoffs)

Please.

Just try it one more time.

(somber music)

(doorbell rings and chimes)

(door thuds)

[Announcer...] Gutter Glove gutter guards

on sale this week only.

Don't miss out

[Jimmy] Mr. Mills.

That's me.

I'll be with you in a second.

Hey, can you hand me one of those boxes?

Yeah.

[Mr. Mills] Thank you.

I'm Jimmy.

Gabrielle set up a job interview for me a while back?

Oh yeah, I remember.

You're the one that never showed up.

I'm so sorry about that sir.

I made a mistake.

I should have called and told you what happened.

I recognize ya.

I've seen you helping out around church.

Look,

we all make mistakes.

I understand that.

I believe in second chances.

Follow me.

That your resume?

Gabrielle says you're a hard worker.

And usually, reliable.

But our current job opening is for a cashier

with prior experience.

You got any experience working a cash register?

No, but

I'm a very hard worker

and uh

dedicated learner.

Anything you throw at me.

(sighs)

I'll tell you what.

I do need help getting these boxes up on that shelf

and the stock room organized.

Let's see how you do with that.

All right?

You can start today if you'd like,

and I'll pay you cash at the end of the day.

Sound good?

Really?

Thank you so much, sir.

You will not regret it.

Okay,

grab an apron from the front

and I'll meet you out there.

(gentle somber music)

(traffic whooshing)

Um.

It's about your mom.

No.

Please.

[Jimmy] He did it.

- I should have never Jimmy?

Oh, Mom! (gasps)

I did it, Jimmy.

You're here.

I did it.

- But you're here. - He's gone.

(Jimmy gasping)

[Liz] The police came

and they took him away.

I'm pressing charges.

Come home.

(somber music)

Mom, I- I

I met someone.

And Harrison and Violet over there,

they're family.

We have enough space

and they look like good people,

so there's room for them if they want it.

Really? You mean that?

Yeah.

- Oh! - Oh!

Thank you!

(Liz gasping)

(Liz sobbing)

[Liz] I'm so sorry.

[Lauren voice-over...] I thought I was one of the lucky ones

to have made it out.

But now I understand it wasn't me

[...Lauren voice-over] who found my way back.

This is Major Mitham.

He's gonna take really good care of you.

Welcome. We're delighted to have you with us.

[Lauren voice-over...] God works in mysterious ways.

(gentle melancholic music)

I was once lost and he found me.

For many out on the streets with no address,

when the hope dies,

it's hard to be found.

But compassion,

love,

and faith conquers all.

Anyone can be just a few short steps

from being homeless and lost.

[...Lauren voice-over] But there is a way home.

You want a sandwich?

Sure.

Thank you.

[Lauren voice-over...] So next time you see someone in need,

have faith.

for he might be working a miracle through you

to bring someone back home for good.

(gentle melancholic music)

[Harris] I just want to quickly, uh,

[Harris] express my gratitude

[Harris] for us all, all being together,

[Harris] and for all that we're about to receive,

and for all that we have received.

[Harris] Amen.

Amen.

[Gabrielle] Well...

I have news.

Remember that old abandoned motel

we talked about turning into housing?

Well, we finally managed to get that meeting with the mayor.

[Gabrielle] So...

would you all be up for coming along?

- Meet the mayor? - Of course.

Look, your input has been great

and the mayor would really like to

hear from you directly

[Gabrielle] on what's actually needed.

Yes!

So it's next week.

Salud!

Wow! (all laughing)

(glassware clinking)

(upbeat music)

[Mayor...] Thank you, Gabrielle,

their input has been very valuable.

Including wraparound services

for mental health and addiction with housing?

Let me see if I can get this pushed through quickly.

[Lauren voice-over...] Through all of it,

I found my family.

[Lauren voice-over] They gave me purpose.

Thank you.

[Major] And thank you.

Thanks for watching "No Address".

You might be wondering, "What now?"

"What can I do to help be part of the solution?"

Yeah, it's a common feeling.

But don't worry, we've got some ideas for you.

We want you to join our efforts

to help break the "No Address" cycle

and really make a difference.

Head over to NoAddressMovie.com

for a list of our nonprofit partners

working tirelessly

to end homelessness across America.

Look up a local organization near you.

See what they need.

You can volunteer,

donate items

or contribute financially.

Let's all make a commitment

to understand local policies.

Real change starts with knowing

what's happening in your own community.

At the end of the day,

the reason we made this movie

is to create a movement

together.

To help people have more empathy

and to see the human side of homelessness,

and to do something to end this crisis.

Take the time to say hello,

make eye contact with someone experiencing homelessness.

It really can make a difference.

So often they feel invisible.

We can be the solution.

Let's work together to break

the "No Address" cycle.
