1
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: Ernie. I'm not gonna ask you again. We're closed, gone,

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: just give me five minutes, sweitter god, Ernie, I will

3
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: unplug the WiFi if you don't pack your ship up.

4
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: You know, when you're in a bad mood, try taking

5
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: a deep breath instead of taking your frustrations out on

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: your customers. Customers. I don't see any fucking customers here.

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: You're a parasite and you're pissing me off. Seems to

8
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: me you're still piste off about the other night. Do

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: you get off on pushing my buttons? This is about

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: you and your NonStop bullshit. Here, Hello, are you listening

11
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,880

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: fucking computer. What the hell? Don't don't you touch my computer?

13
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: We're closed, Get the hell out, close the door, but

14
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: the door is open. Sebastian Grandpa. What are you guys

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 1: doing here? Pop? Got a minute, I thought a combine

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: and see how things were going. Check on you, especially

17
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: after the other night with the party and everything. Yeah,

18
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: I'm just swell. Can't you tell? I was actually just

19
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: on my way up but here, Yeah, man, have a seat,

20
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 1: Hey dah, long time, No see, shut the funk up.

21
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I still want you out of here. PETI ship. Harris

22
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: is waiting in the car, so we won't be too long.

23
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: Can I get you guys anything to eat? Drink? I watch, chocolate, milk, Sebastian,

24
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: what else do you say? I didn't teach you any manners,

25
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: and you still turned out to be a polite fucker.

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: You're a polite sucker too, Grandpa. You're consistent in that way.

27
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Maybe not in other ways, but you've always been a

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: nice guy. You got a little man, so you're really

29
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: running from mayor. Huh. I remember you used to talk

30
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: about it all the time. I'm when I was a kid,

31
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: and now you're doing it laughing stock. You saw what

32
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: happened the other name. You always be ok, Tom married Milan.

33
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: Shut the fuck up and get your ass out of here.

34
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: I think it's cool even if you don't win. It's

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: about the journey, not the destination. Did you turn into

36
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: Gandhi or something that way? Aris Elli is letting you

37
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: be a dead again. Now. She wants to take it slow,

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: supervise visits and whatnot, but I get that it's definitely progress. Actually,

39
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I thought you talked to her because she reached out

40
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: to me the day after the party. I can't take

41
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: credit for that. I guess, um, she must have realized

42
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 1: it's it's wrong to keep a man from his kid. Yeah. That,

43
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: and I think she's had a rough time caring for

44
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Sabas by herself. That what you think she seems to

45
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: have gotten by just fine? I mean, at least she's

46
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: not living at a woman shelter or on the streets

47
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah, I don't think. I don't know what

48
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: you did while I was going, Harry Selly told me everything.

49
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Huh um, Well what'd you tell you? Did you help

50
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: my family while I was gone? I will never forget that.

51
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: It was the least I could do. Family is family, right?

52
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Come over and have dinner with us this week, Harris

53
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: selling who loves the apartment you hooked her up with?

54
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm I'm pretty busy with Well. Mom

55
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: already agreed to it for the both of you. Boy Grandpa,

56
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: if you seek for dinner, maybe you could sleep over

57
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: until breakfast again? Breakfast? You? When did I ever savvy? You?

58
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you that imagination of yours, it's crazy.

59
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Must take after you in that department, Dan, Huh did

60
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: I have that gold boot over there, you've got good taste,

61
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: kid out. But um, you know fine? Can I have

62
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: that Mickey Mouse box? I think that's a collectible. You

63
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to touch it or play with it. Um,

64
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: how about the spaceship on the refrigerator? How about more

65
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: chocolate milk? Deal? You're good with him? Yeah, being a

66
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: grandpa is a lot easier than being a father. You

67
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: weren't always the most supportive father or the best listener,

68
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 1: but at least you were there, especially when Arisilla got pregnant. Man,

69
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: we were just kids and you let us lived with you,

70
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: even with all the drama. One thing I realized and

71
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: rehab is that not everyone has that kind of safety net.

72
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: So I appreciate you for that. M What is this,

73
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: uh some kind of twelve step thing make amends or whatever?

74
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: Just seems like you could use some encouragement these days.

75
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought I was in a bad place,

76
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 1: but then I saw you. Jesus, I didn't realize rehab

77
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: turned addicts into saints. Don't worry about me. Okay, I'm

78
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: doing great here. Let me uh, let me walk you

79
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: out before ari SELLI pops up blood vestl. Man, it

80
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: seems like Oakland has been on fire since I got back.

81
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: You got any idea who's behind all this? A bunch

82
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: of low life wackos, no doubt. By the way, I

83
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: meant to thank you for taking care of that. Think

84
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: we discussed job will done. The graffiti was a nice touch.

85
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: What Kevin meta? Come? Oh right? I thought about it,

86
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't worth the risk of losing Sebastian.

87
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: Looks like someone else got to him before I did. Anyway,

88
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: I guess you're not the only one who hates this guy.

89
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: Huh No, it had to be Oh wait, oh, I

90
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: got I got you. I got you trying to maintain

91
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: plausible deniability or something? Right, smart smart son. We'll drop

92
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: it for now. Okay, I have no idea what you're

93
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: talking about, pop, Danny, it's past Sebastian's that's time. Let's go.

94
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: How you doing fine? Would it kill you to smile

95
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: every once in a while? Kiss my ass? Danny says,

96
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: you like the new place, No need to thank me,

97
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: you really earned it. Actually, I think there's rodents in

98
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: the building. Maybe you should do something about that. You

99
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: got a big strong man here to help you out, man, right, Danny,

100
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: I don't need a big strong man to kill mice.

101
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: I just need poison. Then I'll watch them squirm and die.

102
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: But mice are Don't you think that's a little dark

103
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: for Sebastian. Don't tell me what's best but Sebashion unless

104
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: you want to stay here with your daddy. Good night

105
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: and good luck. By grand took you long enough, ship man,

106
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: who told you to stop doing this? You're fine, dr

107
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean almost that heart attack? Okay, you really should

108
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: respond onto my text messages so we don't have to

109
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: meet like this. I'm busy. Oh yeah, how busy. I'm

110
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: running from Mayor, so very busy, tearing up businesses like

111
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Meta Cafe. Oh, come on, that had nothing to do

112
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 1: with me, right, I guess that guy broke his own window. Chuck,

113
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: It's not my fucking business what goes on with his windows.

114
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Being an informant doesn't give you a get out of

115
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: jail free card for all the petty ship you're involved in,

116
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: especially when you fail to check in and I don't know,

117
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: inform it's a slow week for the Commies. What am

118
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: I supposed to do? I want to know where we

119
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: are with owen. Listen, I'm telling you these two are

120
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: the most boring anarchists of all time. They don't do

121
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: anything interesting. Oh when sleeps at the cafe most night,

122
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: he said, halfway decent worker. Other than that he smokes

123
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: a ship ton of weed and does British it. And Rebecca,

124
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: she's a pain in the ass. But at the end

125
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: of the day she's just talk always has a new

126
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: friend buzzing around. She seems to like picking up strays names.

127
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell should I know one's

128
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: name Poppy or something stupid like that. That's all I

129
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: can recall. I can't babysit these kids. What did Owens

130
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: say when you ask him about the fires? Gave his condolences?

131
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Between Rebecca and Owen, I need to know who's more

132
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: likely to flip? Have you listened to their radio show?

133
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: That should tell you everything you need to know. The

134
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: radio show is a distraction, affront, It's nothing. All I

135
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,119
Speaker 1: want for you to do is what I ask. Otherwise

136
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: this relationship here doesn't work. Yeah, I I know you

137
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: can skip the speech where you remind me what's at

138
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: stake through veiled threats. I got you, and I'm telling

139
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: you these kids aren't the ones you're looking for. We'll

140
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: be the judge of that. Okay, there's something coming, something big.

141
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: If they're planning an event of mass destruction, we have

142
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: to pursue free possible avenue every lead understood, I'm here

143
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: to help. What do you know about Beulah? Not a lot.

144
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: She's a friend of Rebecca's, works at the cafe quiet gal.

145
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: Why her twin sister Savannah used to work at the

146
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: cafe too? Sure, big deal. I want reports on Bulah,

147
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: who she hangs out with, her habits, everything. I waste

148
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: the time. But fine, it's only the taxpayers dollars being

149
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: flushed down the toilet while you go down rabbit holes.

150
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: You don't know what I know about Beulah, so let

151
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: me be the judge of what's a rabbit's hole. It's

152
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: true I barely know her, but I just don't think

153
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: she's gotten in here to be a cold blooded comice.

154
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: Do me a favor keep an eye on her anyway?

155
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: All right? Fine? And should you continue to fail in

156
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: your half ass attempts to do what I've asked of you,

157
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: it won't be homophobia. You'll go viral. I hope you

158
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. Question is Ernie one of your guys,

159
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: who the hells Aren'tie. He's just this customer who likes

160
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: to get him my fucking nerves. You kind of remind

161
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: me of him. That's why I asked I'm not sucking

162
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: around here, Lenny. Don't test me. Hey man, all I've

163
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: done is comply with you guys. Because I'm a patriot

164
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: who loves this great land. I don't want to anti

165
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: for running it anymore than you do, so the threats

166
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: to my livelihood are unnecessary and uncalled for. Full over here.

167
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you feel that way, because I really don't

168
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: think you have the face for prison. Lenny. You know

169
00:11:44,960 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: it's because things were now going well for Chante, who,

170
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: by all accounts, had made real and remarkable progress. Her

171
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: first week at Freedom House began with some trouble, but

172
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: ended with the achievement of a completed therapy session, the

173
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: very first in her sixteen years. Prior to this event,

174
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: she hadn't known the kind of alleviation that comes from

175
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: bearing one's soul. As she relived the details of her

176
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: troubled past, she felt lighter, freer without an ounce of shame.

177
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: She told the group about her mother, who had frequently

178
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: turned tricks in their apartment. She described how one night

179
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: she had found her mother unconscious after her boyfriend nearly

180
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: strangled her to death. Chantes laid it all out, intoxicated

181
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: by the sensation of relief brought on by the lightning load.

182
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: A full hour went by and she had shown no

183
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: signs of stopping. You know, in the last time I

184
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: saw my mom was when she left me and my

185
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: little brother in the house. I took care of him

186
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: as much as I could, but there was no food

187
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: in the bridge. Who does it? You know? It was

188
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: just lucky charms the milk with sour, so we ate

189
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: the cereal with water. Ya Irene was struck by the

190
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: way Chante laughed as she recounted many of the more

191
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: disturbing details of her life, as if those things had

192
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: happened to a character in a movie and not herself.

193
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: This fearlessness, lack of sentimentality, and pragmatism endeared Chante to

194
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 1: her A psychologist would have listened to the teenager and

195
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: concluded she was suffering from deep personalization, but not Irene.

196
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: The other girls, for their part, grow impatient with the

197
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: long winded tails. Damn can we Jocelyn? That was very

198
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: disrespectful her finish Chante. What happened after you were found

199
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: by the police foster care? They never found my mom.

200
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: My brother got adopted, supposedly, but I don't know where

201
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: he is. My aunt let me come live with her,

202
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: but I cannot stand her nosey as incredible. So you're

203
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: really all you've got? You're alone? How does that make

204
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: you feel? I mean, I'm not alone, and it's cool

205
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: seeing alone and by yourself. Don't bother me. I'm like

206
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: doing my own thing. Yeah, I mean, independence is good,

207
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: but you should know that you have all of us

208
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: here too. Okay, Yes, that's good to know. In this house,

209
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: your free will won't ever be repressed. I don't want

210
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: you to become dependent on others, but everyone needs to

211
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: know when to ask for help. All right, let me

212
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: ask you something once you get out of all this

213
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: A lot. Actually, if I can protect any of you

214
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: girls from these chaotic energy vampires, I've done my job. Chantey.

215
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: You don't need divans in your life, not anymore. The

216
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: words from Irene's lips were kind and sincere, as they

217
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: usually tended to be. There was no doubt that our

218
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: Chante was seduced by the promises made by that sweet

219
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: faced deceiver. Trusting in Irene gave her a sense of

220
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: comfort and security. It was as if she had been

221
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: allowed to rest after running a marathon. Despite being skeptical

222
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: by nature, the temptation to believe all that Irene promised

223
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: was too great. It was not that the older woman's

224
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: words were altogether hollow. Indeed, she might have meant well.

225
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: The problem was she had failed to communicate the complete

226
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: truth of what Freedom House was. But fate would see

227
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: to it that all would be revealed. The Lower Bottoms

228
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: being a small neighborhood, often lends itself to serendipitous encounters

229
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: between friends, acquaintances, and adversaries. Such was the case for Chante.

230
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: At the end of her second week at the house,

231
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: feeling somewhat restless and ready to explore the area, she

232
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: decided that she would get some snacks at the nearby

233
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: corner store. She had an assent to her name, but

234
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: that would not stop her from getting money. She knew

235
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: for a fact that Joscelyn inexplicably kept a stack of

236
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: bills in her room, which she counted in front of

237
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: the other girls frequently. Chante felt that this made her

238
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: a fool deserving to be divested from her money. When

239
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: Jocelyn left with some of the other girls, Chante searched

240
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: her room for the bills. For a brief moment, she

241
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: considered what might happen if Irene should discover she had

242
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: stolen from one of the others, but she pushed aside

243
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: those thoughts, convincing herself that no one would be able

244
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: to prove the thing. Unfortunately, she only found a few

245
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: singles inside a box of condoms under the bed. It

246
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: was no matter, she was well acquainted it with the

247
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: art of petty theft. Bluebird Liquors was the closest store.

248
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: The walk there did wonders to clear her mind, and

249
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: she found herself in a lively mood. Inside the store,

250
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: she picked up various snacks. She was browsing the chip

251
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: aisle when she recognized one of the women who had

252
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: helped her escape Davon. Eye contact was the last thing

253
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: she wanted, but much to Chante's dismay, the woman seemed

254
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: to recognize her to Hey, I know you Nope, must

255
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: got me confused with someone else, or you do look

256
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: different with clothes on. Oh bit you trying to fight?

257
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: Huh girl? I'm not trying to fight you. I was

258
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: just playing calm down? Whatever? How you does you owe

259
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: me a bag of those you damn near eight all mine?

260
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: That night you jumped in our car BSh whatever? So

261
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Let me guess whatever? Yeah, it's whatever.

262
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: Look I need to pay for my ship. Where the

263
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: funk this line come from? You know, by the way,

264
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: I knew you weren't going up police station? What are

265
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: you talking about? You went back to him right to

266
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: do it? With the dreads? Which with you? Mind your

267
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: own business? I knew it. Your lifestyle isn't sustainable long term.

268
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 1: That guy looked like he wanted to kill you. Next

269
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: time will be worse, you know. For your information, miss Nosey,

270
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: that's not my situation anymore. Good. You're way too young

271
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: to be running these streets. By the way, I'm Rebecca.

272
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Seant was prepared to slap Rebecca's outstretched hand and tell

273
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: her to go to hell. The only thing that stopped

274
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: her from doing so. What's fear of disappointing Irene? Why

275
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: did this girl act as if they were friends? You're

276
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: supposed to shake my hand? No, okay, that's fine. What

277
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: was your name again? Okay, look, let's cut the crap.

278
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't care about what your name is that you

279
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: damn show you the worry about mine, and I don't

280
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: want to hear your bullshit asked story when you're crazy

281
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: ass friend left me at the police station with no

282
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: clothes on. You know, normally I would have cushed your

283
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: ass out by now, but I'm changed. Did you find

284
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: God or something? No, smart ass, The cop took me

285
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: to the halfway house, So for your information, I'm fine

286
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: now and you can stop pretending like you give a ship.

287
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: Are you ready to pay? Come on? Chantey walked up

288
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: to the register to pay for her items. Forgetting that

289
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: she had planned on stealing most of them, Rebecca had

290
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: thrown her off course. The cashier stared at her as

291
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: she counted the crinkled bills that were in her pocket

292
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: and very clearly insufficient to cover the pile of junk food.

293
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: Witnessing the awkward scene, Rebecca stepped in and paid the difference.

294
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: This act did not cause Chante to feel gratitude toward Rebecca.

295
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: On the contrary, she detested her even more, and she

296
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: stormed out of the market. Rebecca felt concerned for her,

297
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: perhaps more, and she should. Pangs of guilt vexed her

298
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: as she looked at the forlorn, yet highly capable girl.

299
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: There was something familiar in her anger and mistrust that

300
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: reminded her of herself a certain self destruction too. Moreover,

301
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: she couldn't shake the feeling that Chanty was still running

302
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: away from something. She was clothed this time around the running. Nonetheless,

303
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: Compelled to ease her conscience and to see to it

304
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: that the young girl was all right, she ran after her.

305
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, Oh my god, bitch, will you just

306
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: go away? Okay, obviously I don't need your fake as charity,

307
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: so just leave me the hell alone. I'm not offering

308
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: you any charity. Good because it's too late. You missed

309
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: your chance on being a captor save the hope. You

310
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: said you're at a halfway house. Is it really hoping?

311
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: Because a lot of times government funded places of real

312
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: pieces of ship. Oh my gosh, okay, it's cool. That

313
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: was not convincing. I gotta go. Okay bye. If you

314
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: need help, now your chance to get it. Believe me.

315
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't need a damn thing from you. I don't

316
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: know why you just cannot get this through your head. Okay,

317
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm getting enough help at the Freedom House. They're my family,

318
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: Freedom House, not the place around the corner on that place.

319
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: It's my home. Now, you can't be there. Uh, yes,

320
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: I am a matter of fact, Watch me go. I

321
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: just I just mean. It's common knowledge that it's a

322
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: cat house, bitch. What do you mean a cat house?

323
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: A place of ill repute abroad for whorehouse, whatever you

324
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: wanna call it. Girls stay on rotation over there, and

325
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them disappear. You're right, and you think

326
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: I want to believe you. It's a halfway house for

327
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: teenage girls, you know, drug addicts and ship I'm trying

328
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: to tell you that it's a front. How do you

329
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: not know this if you live there? This makes no sense.

330
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: You said a police officer brought you there. What was

331
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: his name? I don't know something, white Bill, Steve Scott, Oh,

332
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: white dude. All I know is he said he wanted

333
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: to help police line all the time time. They're corrupt

334
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: as hell, and you should know that. No, because Irene,

335
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: she's the manager over there, and she knows everything. She

336
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: won't even let that happen. Listen. I don't know who

337
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: Irene is, but I can tell you that she must

338
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: be involved somehow. No way, she wouldn't know what's going on.

339
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: Everyone on that block knows except you. I guess. Look,

340
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: I meant what I said. If you need help, I

341
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: can see if there's other accommodations around. Jeante stood there,

342
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: trying to comprehend what she had always suspected deep down.

343
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: She stared into the distance, where there was a cloud

344
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: of black smoke rising towards the sky, no more than

345
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: a mile or two away. For a moment, she thought

346
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: she could feel the heat from the fire that burnt.

347
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: Rebecca looked at her, feeling more sympathy than she thought possible. Damn,

348
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 1: Oakland always on fire. It's not us on fire. We

349
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: are the fire. There's a big difference. And you should

350
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: remember that Jean barely heard the words, and their meaning

351
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: didn't register at all. She turned and ran as fast

352
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: as she could, not caring that she had dropped the

353
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: bag of junk food on the ground. Back at the house,

354
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: she looked for Irene, who was nowhere to be found.

355
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: Jocelyn and some of the other girls were in the

356
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: common room laughing. Let me ask you something, how are

357
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: you making all that money? You are always showing off. Well, money, bitch,

358
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: don't play with me. You stay running around here with

359
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: a stack in your hand. How the funk are you

360
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: making it look? I can't tell if you're joking or

361
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: you just hella doom. Oh wow? You really don't know

362
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: all these dudes coming through here and you never thought

363
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: about it? S you Irene getting no buddy buddy didn't

364
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: mean shit if she was gonna help you out. For

365
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: the first time, Chante had no urge to attack Jocelyn

366
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: for talking down to her. It was the first time

367
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: that she could remember being utterly dumbfounded. Everything suddenly made

368
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: far more sense than it had before. The illusion was shattered,

369
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: but instead of clarifying somehow, she was even more confused

370
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: than before. Now she only wanted answers. Where Arena? I

371
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: don't know she should be? Is n't Feeling very tired,

372
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: Chantes returned to her room. She didn't understand why it

373
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: hurt so much that her two weeks at the house

374
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: had turned out to be a lie. The false sense

375
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: of security here had been a much needed reprieve, But

376
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: if she could go back in time, she wouldn't have

377
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: come in the first place. She slept for what felt

378
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: like ours. When she awoke, disorientation overtook her. After a

379
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: few moments, she stood up and left the room to

380
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: look for Irene. She found her in her office with

381
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: officers Scott Quarry. He smiled at her. She entered the

382
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: room with palpable rage on her face. How's everything going, chante?

383
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: Hereen here tells me you're adjusting here? Very nice man?

384
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: Fuck you? Would you excuse a Scott? Of course? I

385
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: know how some of these girls can get a little

386
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 1: full of themselves, probably hormones, right, take care of yourself, Chante, man,

387
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: how are you gonna play me like that? Pretending like

388
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna help me? Bit? You ain't no but another pimp.

389
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: I can see that you're upset. Yeah, no, Ship, Charlotte,

390
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm no pimp. My job has always been to help people.

391
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 1: I provide girls with a safe place, with safe clientele

392
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: and help them leave the life when they eventually want

393
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: to move on. This place ain't not them, but up front,

394
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: you act them like you are pure. Ship. You ain't

395
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: nothing but another phony as hope. I hate to break

396
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: it to you, but nothing in this country is pure.

397
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: Everything is tainted, and no one's intentions are selfless. And

398
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: we all leave this earth dirty. But I can give

399
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: you something better than purity. I can give you purpose,

400
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: a bitch purpose, purpose, like the same kind of purpose

401
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: you give it, Jocelyne. In them, they have purpose. But

402
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: there's this different from yours, Shante. You have the potential

403
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: to be extraordinary, to do something very special with your life. Okay, now,

404
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: what the hell that's posted to me? Huh, it'll make

405
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: sense if you give this time. You just need to

406
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: trust me to guide you. So I'm post to trust

407
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: your phony ass. When girls are disappearing around your all

408
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: the time, Shante, this is a halfway house. You're all

409
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: free to leave whenever you like. And many of the

410
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: girls returned to the streets. I can't stop them, but

411
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: I don't want that for you, And it's fuck you.

412
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: You really made me feel like all that dirty ship

413
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: I've done, what's over? But now you over here talking

414
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: the same gang. You act like I don't know what

415
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 1: Boshi looked like. I'm sorry you feel that way. Yeah

416
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: me too. Look, let's talk about this tomorrow when we're

417
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: less emotional. Just snow, I have your best interests at heart.

418
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Screw you into freedom house. Chantey had finally seen who

419
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: Irene truly was, and the discovery felt like the cruelest

420
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: thing to ever happen to her. She had let herself

421
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: have hope, and its loss was devastating. As she left

422
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: Irene's office, she wished that she had never come to

423
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: Freedom House in the first place. She'd been fine before

424
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: she got here. Things were chaotic and messy, but she

425
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 1: knew how to handle crazy, and now she felt broken

426
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: and unable to put the pieces back together. Retiring to

427
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: her bedroom for the evening, Chante knew she would not sleep.

428
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: Her only thought was of escape. She recalled what Rebecca

429
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: had said about being surprised that she hadn't gone back

430
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: to dave On. Maybe that was where she went wrong,

431
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: Perhaps that was where she was meant to be. She thought,

432
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: what right did she have to believe she could change

433
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: the inevitable alter her fate. It didn't matter that Irene

434
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: had told her she was special, or that she encouraged

435
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: her to open up. For if it were all said

436
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: simply to get her to be amenable to the idea

437
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: of selling her body, what difference had it all made.

438
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: Perhaps even more than being heartbroken, she was angry, and

439
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: her anger made her want revenge retribution. Despite these intense feelings,

440
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: she found it difficult to conceive of physically harming Irene.

441
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: It annoyed her that she should feel this way. She

442
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: wanted to hurt her, yet doing so seemed wrong. For

443
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: a moment, she considered burning Freedom House to the ground.

444
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Why not. The rest of Oakland was on fire, why

445
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: not here too. However, she dismissed that thought quickly because

446
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: the idea of living in prison seemed unbearably terrible. No one,

447
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: no thing seemed to be an appropriate tour for her rage,

448
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: and so she decided on hurting the one person she

449
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: felt deserved at the most, herself. The next morning, she

450
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: avoided everyone, especially Irene. She hid in her room, only

451
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: coming out to use the bathroom. Since it was Friday,

452
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: she knew everyone would be out of the house by

453
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: eight p m. It was the custom for Irene to

454
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: take the girls out to dinner. At a round six pm.
