0:00:02 > 0:00:06This film contains strong language
0:00:06 > 0:00:07'On my first day, I forgot everything
0:00:07 > 0:00:09'that they taught me in those classes.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10- 'Really?- Yeah, I mean,'
0:00:10 > 0:00:11day one's always a little tough.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14It's like, you know, no matter how the training goes,
0:00:14 > 0:00:17there's always room for something that's just totally unpredictable.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Oh, I've got a pretty good story for you if you're ready for it.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22- OK.- Hey, what's up?- Hey.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25- Did you guys meet?- No. Nate.- Hi.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Hey.- Jessica.- Jessica.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31OK, listen up, so...
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..this was like, my first week on the job,
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- and I'm at gate duty, right?- What's that?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38If a kid wants to leave, legally, we can't stop them.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41So we put someone at the gate to try to talk them out of it.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43- Whoa. You got here quick. - Yes, I did. Good morning.- Hi.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46- Nate, this is Grace, she's your new boss.- Oh.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48- Hey.- Hi. Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I would lose the tie if I were you.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52And if you're listening to a story of Mason's,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55- understand that there's very little reality in it.- Hey!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Don't piss in the water before we put our toes in.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Night shift was pretty mellow.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02OK, so, Grace, my wonderful new boss at the time.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04She leaves me at my gate duty for like three hours
0:01:04 > 0:01:07without a bathroom break, and I'm dying,
0:01:07 > 0:01:09because I ate the tacos that they serve here,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and she failed to tell me that they're a known laxative.
0:01:12 > 0:01:17So, this kid, 16 years old, this big fucking intimidating dude,
0:01:17 > 0:01:19he's like a foot taller than me, he walks up,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and he just cruises out the gate.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It's my second day, so I don't know what the hell is going on,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26but Grace? She's standing right there and she just lets it happen.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Whatever. What I saw was Mason just sitting there,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and Wesley smiling at me from the opposite side of the gate,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- because he knows that we can't touch him.- Why not?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Once they're a foot outside the gate we can't touch 'em.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39So Grace tells me to follow him, so I do.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42For hours, just walking, eight feet behind him.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Eventually, he gets on this bus, so I get on the bus too.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And at this point, I can't think of anything but whatever
0:01:48 > 0:01:52the hell these tacos are doing to my bowels, so I make up my mind,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54fuck this, I got to get off at the next stop
0:01:54 > 0:01:56or I'm going to lose it in my shorts in front of all these people.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58And exactly as I make this decision,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Wesley leans his big-ass head over to me from across the aisle
0:02:01 > 0:02:05and he says really calm, "I'm getting off at the next stop,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08"and if you do too, I'm going to rip your fucking balls off
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- "and feed 'em to you."- Holy shit.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Remember what I said.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Hey now, this part is true, I was there.- Really?- Mm-hm.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So, bus stops. He gets off.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I wait a second, I go over to the door, but he's just standing there
0:02:20 > 0:02:23on the sidewalk like ten feet away, staring at me, waiting.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26What can I do? I have no other choice.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28So, I step off the bus,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and the second that my feet touch the ground,
0:02:31 > 0:02:33it is like a knot in my asshole unties,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37and the fiesta in my stomach just comes pouring down my legs.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43So I'm just standing there, shit gushing down my thighs,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I ruin my fuckin' favourite Nike's, and Wesley's just there,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48doubled over, losing it.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I mean, he's fuckin' laughing so hard...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- Whoohoo! - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- Here we go, Nate!- Wait, what? - Come on, Nate!- Go!
0:02:59 > 0:03:00- Whoo!- Sammy!- Whoo!
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Whoo! Whoo!- Sammy!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Let me go, you fucking perverts!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Nate, grab his feet, please.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We're just going to sit down here on the grass until you de-escalate.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16De-escalate, my asshole, you duck fuckers!
0:03:16 > 0:03:18I'm not quite sure what you mean by that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You know the drill, Sammy, just let it pass.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21SAMMY STRAINS
0:03:21 > 0:03:22HE PANTS
0:03:27 > 0:03:28You all right, buddy?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33You got pretty far that time, I think it's a new record.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38So, anyway, after all that, he ends up coming back with me,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41but only because he's so excited to tell everyone on our unit
0:03:41 > 0:03:43that I pooped my pants.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47And he does. He tells everyone, somehow it even got back to my mom.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- You heard that story, right, Sammy? - Yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- How you guys doing over there! - Fantastic!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56How you feeling, Sammy? You got it all out?
0:03:56 > 0:03:57You wanna go take a nap?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- All right. Let's get you up. - Up we go, buddy.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04All right, I'll see you back at the office.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Welcome to Short Term 12, man. - All right.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14This guy's been eating his Wheaties in the morning.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15CONVERSATION FADES
0:05:44 > 0:05:45These are the files on our kids,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47if you want to see what kind of crap they've been through.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50How long do they stay here?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Supposedly less than a year,
0:05:51 > 0:05:53but some have been here a little over three.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55We just keep 'em until the county
0:05:55 > 0:05:57figures out where they're going to go next.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Tom!
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Go brush your teeth.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Remember, you're not their parent, and you're not their therapist.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- You're here to create a safe environment, that's it.- Got it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10And since you're new, they're going to try to test you to see
0:06:10 > 0:06:13what they can get away with, so just say no for a while.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- No. OK.- You have to kinda be an asshole
0:06:16 > 0:06:18before you can be their friend.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21You're gonna be fine.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22MUSIC POUNDS
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Community meeting is in five minutes! Luis, you'd better be up!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36So this is how it's going to be?
0:06:36 > 0:06:37You got five seconds.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41HE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:06:45 > 0:06:46What the fuck?! Argh!
0:06:48 > 0:06:49HE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I love you too.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00That's not cool.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Kendra, can you be secretary for us today?
0:07:15 > 0:07:16- Sure, I guess.- OK. Thank you.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Community meeting is now in session!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Community announcements.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28No announcements?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30What's going on, you guys? You look a little dead.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33What'd you do to them?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34I don't know.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I farted when I was outside, maybe some of it followed me in.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41You shart yourself again?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43No. Luis, I did not shart, thank you very much.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47And that happened one time and you weren't even here yet, so...
0:07:47 > 0:07:48It's still funny.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51OK, are we done? I've heard that story, like, three times today.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- Yeah, it's a good story. - It is a good story.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55OK, well, if no-one has any
0:07:55 > 0:07:58non-poop-related announcements, I have one.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01As most of you are already aware, Marcus is turning 18,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- and will be leaving us. - Can I have his room?
0:08:03 > 0:08:07We're going to be throwing him a little party next week.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Marcus, any requests?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Can I shave my head?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I was talking about food for the party.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20I don't want food, I wanna shave my head.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- OK, as long as I hold the razor. - Cool.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34OK, everyone else. Thoughts, food for Marcus' party.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35What are we gonna do?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36ALL SHOUT AT ONCE
0:08:38 > 0:08:41OK, OK! Everyone, one at a time, please!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43Luis, thank you for raising your hand.
0:08:43 > 0:08:44Who's the weird guy over there?
0:08:44 > 0:08:49Oh, that is Nate. Please do not be jerks to him. It is first day.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51You wanna introduce yourself?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Um, sure.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Yeah, hey, er...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00As you know my name is Nate and I, er, just...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03I took a year off of school cos I wanted to get some life experience
0:09:03 > 0:09:06and I always wanted to work with underprivileged kids.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- What the fuck is that supposed to mean?- Marcus, settle down.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12No, I wanna know what you mean by that - "underprivileged".
0:09:14 > 0:09:15That's not what I meant.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Then think about your fuckin' words before you speak...- Hey!- ..newbie.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20That's a level drop. Go to your room.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Go to your room.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29CUP CLATTERS
0:09:29 > 0:09:30I'm sorry, man.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34All right.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Um, levels and feelings,
0:09:39 > 0:09:40you know the drill.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Let's start with you, Luis.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Green, fine.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Silver, whatever.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yellow, still fine.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Green, all right.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Yellow...
0:09:53 > 0:09:54PHONE RINGS
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Short Term 12, this is Grace.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Right now?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04PHONE RINGS
0:10:05 > 0:10:06So what do you think?
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Hmm?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09The new lamp.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10It's really a trip.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14You can turn it on and off by just touching the metal part. Try it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23Cool, huh?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Mmm!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Look, I'm suppose to be in a group session, like, right now.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- You mind if we walk and talk?- No.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33This is Jayden, she just got appointed to us this morning.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Her father's a friend of a friend. Real nice guy, very cultured.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Why isn't she with him?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42He lost his wife a few years back
0:10:42 > 0:10:45and Jayden hasn't made life very easy on him.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47For the past couple years
0:10:47 > 0:10:50she's been in and out of group homes for dangerous behaviour.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Last week she bit her therapist's nose.- Great(!)
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Yeah, so we'll have her during the week,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- but gets weekend home visits. - All right.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I told her father we'd take good care of her.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- I take good care of everyone. - I know you do.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07That's why I'm trusting you to do the same with Jayden.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12When does she get here?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13She might be here already.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26I like your name, Jayden.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27It's a boy's name.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Really? I didn't think so.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Will Smith did.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38OK, well, these things you can't keep in your room,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40but we'll keep it in the closet out here.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- You can check 'em out whenever you want 'em.- Yep, I know the rules.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46No belts, no razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47No cussing.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Shit, I forgot about that one.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I'm gonna let that one slip, because it was clever.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56All right, let's go see your room.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Here it is.
0:12:02 > 0:12:03Wow, it's so inviting(!)
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You can put up whatever you want on the walls,
0:12:06 > 0:12:07as long as it's appropriate.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09So no pictures of penises?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Not unless it's very scientific.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Oh, wow!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17This is really cool.
0:12:17 > 0:12:18That's crap.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23If you call that crap, I'm jealous.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Put your clothes outside the door before bedtime.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31The overnighters will wash them.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And, um, you can't keep your door closed...
0:12:36 > 0:12:37I don't do that any more.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I'm not saying that you do...- And if I did ever want to cut myself,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43keeping the fucking door cracked isn't going to stop me.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I already warned you about cussing. That one's gonna be a level drop.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Oh, no, a level drop, what am I going to do(?)
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Your attitude is not helping either one of us.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- Hey, what happened to that guy? - What guy?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- The big kid who made you poop your pants.- Wesley.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33He ran away again,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35and then two days later someone found him dead in the bushes.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38What?
0:13:38 > 0:13:40That's the real ending to the story.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41I don't like that part.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Sure you're not coming with me.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm gonna clear my head. That was a good first day, Nate!
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Thank you.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50See ya.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53All right, man.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Yeah, take it easy.- All right. - See you tomorrow.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Grace?
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Come on in, hon.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24So, the test did come back positive.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Lovely(!)
0:14:28 > 0:14:29How are you feeling?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I already did, like, seven of those tests at home,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37so I'm not really surprised.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42OK, well, you have a few options to explore. And we can go over them...
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Can we just make an appointment for Saturday?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47You don't want to hear the other options?
0:14:50 > 0:14:51Hmm?
0:14:53 > 0:14:54OK.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Have you ever been pregnant before?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09One time.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10OK.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Hey, stinker, what took you so long?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Oh, no. I didn't know you still had that stupid hat.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I will always have this stupid hat.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35What's going on in here?
0:15:35 > 0:15:38Well, since you were out cheating on me with your bike,
0:15:38 > 0:15:39I decided I'd make myself
0:15:39 > 0:15:41some chilli rellenos, home-made tortillas,
0:15:41 > 0:15:42and my mom's famous salsa.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Mmm. Looks like there's enough for two.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47No, I doubt it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Mase, you don't have to be jealous of Floyd.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Floyd? Your bike has a name now?
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Of course he does. We're very close.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I don't know what you see in him.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Hmm. Nice grip. Comfy seat.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02There is no way his seat is as comfy as mine.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Is that a beard?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42No, I was trying to shade. I think it looks pretty cool.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Yeah, it's very cool.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45What's growing out of my head?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- These? Flowers.- Oh!
0:17:48 > 0:17:52They represent the peculiar thoughts that grow out of your gorgeous mind.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Why are you so nice to me?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Are we being serious now?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Well, it's easy. It's because you are the weirdest,

0:26:17 > 0:26:20You're so much smarter than this.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- I know it's scary out there. - I ain't scared of shit.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30All I'm saying is, getting thrown in jail
0:26:30 > 0:26:34is not what you want to do.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47My dad has been in there for ten years.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I don't want that for you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Straight to your room.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Let's see here.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Like that?
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Yeah.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11All right.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15# It don't matter now, damn near 18
0:28:15 > 0:28:18# All the pretty pictures in my fuckin' head is faded
0:28:18 > 0:28:21# And when I think about that trick that raised me
0:28:21 > 0:28:23# I think about sick, because the bitch is crazy
0:28:23 > 0:28:26# Fuck that bitch, nigga fuck that pain
0:28:26 > 0:28:28# Your body's in a ditch inside this turned up brain
0:28:28 > 0:28:31# I mean, I can't see how you claim it, you being ma?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34# Doctors snatched me out the snatch of pure evil with eagle claws
0:28:34 > 0:28:36# Ho, ho, ho, slut, fuck the way you want it
0:28:36 > 0:28:38# Got your young, dumb son pitching pigeons for money
0:28:38 > 0:28:41# I mean, it's colder than the bitch when it's sunny
0:28:41 > 0:28:42# Blows raining down on the glow
0:28:42 > 0:28:45# Got the nerve to tell me you love me?
0:28:45 > 0:28:46# I said, again? Again?
0:28:46 > 0:28:48# Sell it again? Bitch, I'm 10
0:28:48 > 0:28:50# Let me go outside and function with friends
0:28:50 > 0:28:53# You say you ma? You mother? You the father-fucking queen?
0:28:53 > 0:28:54# I say, all right, I love her so I flip it again
0:28:54 > 0:28:57# No, not this time, bitch, because I'm stronger than you
0:28:57 > 0:28:59# Not this time, bitch, swinging harder than you
0:28:59 > 0:29:02# No, not this time, bitch, you ain't leave me a choice
0:29:02 > 0:29:05# You just a body in a ditch in the brain of a boy.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07# All fucked up now, damn near 18
0:29:07 > 0:29:10# All the pictures in my past ain't never fading
0:29:10 > 0:29:13# I'm always wishing for something amazing
0:29:13 > 0:29:15# But when your life is shit then it ain't no trading
0:29:15 > 0:29:18# So put me in your book so you know what it's like to live a life
0:29:18 > 0:29:20# Not knowing what a normal life's like
0:29:20 > 0:29:23# Put a label on my head so you know what it's like to live a life
0:29:23 > 0:29:26# Not knowing what a normal life's like
0:29:26 > 0:29:31# Look into my eyes so you know what it's like
0:29:31 > 0:29:34# Look into my eyes so you know what it's like to live a life
0:29:34 > 0:29:38# Not knowing what a normal life's like. #
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Yeah, I... I don't... I don't know what to say, man.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57It's cool, man.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I just need to shave my head.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06You think Grace will still shave it?
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I like the new wall decor.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Thanks. They're actually very informative.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Can I draw with you?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42When I was 9 or 10...
0:30:42 > 0:30:45I used to draw portraits of all my mom's boyfriends.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49And then I'd sell them to her for 10 apiece.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54How many boyfriends did she have?
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Enough that I was able to save up and buy one of those
0:30:58 > 0:31:01portable CD players with anti-shock protection.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- You're old. - Whatever.
0:31:05 > 0:31:06Those things were cool.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13You know what's weird?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19Whenever I was drawing portraits of, you know, those guys...
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I would always take forever.
0:31:21 > 0:31:2630, 40 minutes just stringing them along, saying,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29"Oh, I've just got to do a couple more shadows,"
0:31:29 > 0:31:31or, "I'm just fixing the nose.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I don't know why I did that.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I hated every single one of them.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Maybe you were just trying to keep them away from your mom.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Maybe.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Are you done? - Almost.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03I've just got to add a few shadows and fix the nose a little.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06You are such a smartass.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12- That's a level drop. - Oh, no, not a level drop.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I wanted to play foosball later.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Hmm. Too bad.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17GRACE CHUCKLES
0:32:48 > 0:32:50OK. Finished.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52You want to take a look?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Looks great, Marcus. Check it out.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Is it lumpy?
0:33:07 > 0:33:09What do you mean?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I usually keep my hair long.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17It's where she used to hit me at.
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Is it still lumpy?
0:33:21 > 0:33:23No way, man.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Not at all.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27See for yourself.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Pretty smooth.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52What about the back? No scars?
0:33:52 > 0:33:53No... No nothing?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57Uh-uh. It looks really great.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34(We're going to have a baby.)
0:35:47 > 0:35:49What?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51We're going to have a baby.

0:37:02 > 0:37:03OK?
0:37:06 > 0:37:08I love you so much, Grace.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13So much it's insane.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Let me see.- Hmm?
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- You can't tell yet. - Come on.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48That is so crazy.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Hmm.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- Did you hear about Sammy? - What?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Last night they took all his dolls away.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53His therapist is calling it a lesson in letting go.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Bullshit.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Those are all his sisters, right?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02He's not ready for that.
0:39:06 > 0:39:10It's time for your meds, Sammy.

0:51:46 > 0:51:47PHONE BEEPS
0:51:50 > 0:51:52Hey. Um, we're at her dad's house.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55I don't think that anyone's here, but she went in any way.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58OK, thanks.
0:52:16 > 0:52:17He's not home?
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Do you want to go back?
0:52:35 > 0:52:37OK.
0:52:57 > 0:52:58You OK?
0:53:02 > 0:53:03I'll see you tomorrow.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08You want to hear a story I've been working on?
0:53:10 > 0:53:12Of course.
0:53:20 > 0:53:23Well, it's a kid's story, so there aren't any big words.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26OK.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30"Once upon a time, somewhere miles and miles beneath the surface
0:53:30 > 0:53:34"of the ocean, there lived a young octopus named Nina."
0:53:36 > 0:53:39"Nina spent most of her time alone making strange creations
0:53:39 > 0:53:42"out of rocks and shells. And she was very happy."
0:53:44 > 0:53:46"But then on Monday the shark showed up."
0:53:47 > 0:53:50" 'What's your name?' said the shark.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52" 'Nina,' she replied.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54" 'Do you want to be my friend?' he asked.
0:53:54 > 0:53:58" 'OK. What do I have to do?' said Nina.
0:53:58 > 0:54:03" 'Not much,' said the shark. 'Just let me eat one of your arms.'
0:54:03 > 0:54:05"Nina had never had a friend before,
0:54:05 > 0:54:08"so she wondered if this was what you had to do to get one."
0:54:10 > 0:54:12"She looked down at her eight arms
0:54:12 > 0:54:14"and decided it wouldn't be so bad to give up one.
0:54:14 > 0:54:18"So she donated an arm to her wonderful new friend."
0:54:20 > 0:54:22Whoa.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25"Every day that week, Nina and the shark would play together.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28"They explored caves, built castles of sand,
0:54:28 > 0:54:31"and swam really, really fast.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33"And every night the shark would be hungry, and...
0:54:33 > 0:54:36"Nina would give him another one of her arms to eat."
0:54:40 > 0:54:43"On Sunday, after playing all day...
0:54:43 > 0:54:46"the shark told Nina that he was very hungry.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48" 'I don't understand,' she said.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52" 'I've already given you six of my arms, and now you want one more?'
0:54:53 > 0:54:56"The shark looked at her with a friendly smile and said,
0:54:56 > 0:54:59" 'I don't want one. This time I want them all.' "
0:55:01 > 0:55:03" 'But why?' Nina asked."
0:55:04 > 0:55:07"And the shark replied, 'Because that's what friends are for.' "
0:55:12 > 0:55:17"When the shark finished his meal... he felt very sad and lonely."
0:55:18 > 0:55:22"He missed having someone to explore caves, build castles,
0:55:22 > 0:55:24"and swim really, really fast with."
0:55:27 > 0:55:29"He missed Nina very much."
0:55:31 > 0:55:34"So he...he swam away to find another friend."
0:55:48 > 0:55:49Jayden?
0:55:53 > 0:55:54Did your dad ever hurt you?
0:56:04 > 0:56:05Does he still hurt you?
0:56:07 > 0:56:10SHE SOBS
0:56:44 > 0:56:46We can't let her go back there.

0:58:23 > 0:58:25cos, to me, you're just Ma and Pa.

0:58:31 > 0:58:34..thank you for taking us in.
0:58:34 > 0:58:36For taking me in when I was just a punk kid
0:58:36 > 0:58:38who was scared of everything.
0:58:41 > 0:58:43When I had no-one else, you accepted me
0:58:43 > 0:58:45and you showed me what it was like...
0:58:50 > 0:58:52Um, what it was like to be loved.
0:58:53 > 0:58:57And none of us would be here... if it weren't for you.
0:58:59 > 0:59:02Just look at this beautiful family you made.
0:59:02 > 0:59:06So let's all lift our glasses to our king and queen.

1:01:36 > 1:01:37Mm-hm.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Oh, shit.
1:01:49 > 1:01:51Who was it?
1:01:52 > 1:01:54Um.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57That was someone from the probation department.
1:01:58 > 1:02:02They said that your dad's probably going to get released next month.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47SHE SOBS
1:02:56 > 1:02:59Hey. I really think we need to talk through some of this stuff.

1:03:01 > 1:03:04I'll be fine. I just I just need to work.
1:03:09 > 1:03:12- Hey. - Hi.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14Marcus' fish died last night.
1:03:14 > 1:03:15What?!
1:03:16 > 1:03:18He thinks Luis had something to do with it.
1:03:20 > 1:03:21Did he?
1:03:28 > 1:03:31Tell me you didn't do something to Marcus' fish.
1:03:31 > 1:03:32What?
1:03:32 > 1:03:33Luis, tell me.
1:03:33 > 1:03:35I don't know what you're talking about.
1:03:37 > 1:03:39I swear!
1:03:49 > 1:03:51I'm really sorry, Marcus.
1:03:54 > 1:03:56It wasn't Luis.
1:03:57 > 1:03:59It don't matter.
1:04:03 > 1:04:05I'd like to be left alone, if that's cool with you.
1:04:06 > 1:04:08OK.
1:04:10 > 1:04:12Just let me know if you need anything.
1:04:29 > 1:04:32- Have you guys seen Jayden? - Uh-uh.
1:04:36 > 1:04:38Jess? Where's Jayden?
1:04:38 > 1:04:41Oh, her dad showed up last night and took her on pass for the weekend.
1:04:41 > 1:04:44- What? - Jack signed off on it.
1:04:44 > 1:04:46Are you fucking kidding me?
1:04:51 > 1:04:53How could you let her go?
1:04:53 > 1:04:56Uh, Jan, let me call you right back, OK?
1:04:56 > 1:04:58The man called.
1:04:58 > 1:05:01He apologised. He had a personal emergency.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04That's not even the point, Jack. Did you read my report?
1:05:04 > 1:05:06Of course I did, and I was very concerned.
1:05:06 > 1:05:09But when Jayden's social worker asked her about it,
1:05:09 > 1:05:11she said her father had never been abusive in any way.
1:05:11 > 1:05:14Of course she said that. She's fucking scared!
1:05:14 > 1:05:17What the fuck did they teach you guys in grad school?
1:05:17 > 1:05:21Jack, in her mind he is always right behind her, watching her.
1:05:21 > 1:05:23When she is sleeping. When she is taking a shit.
1:05:23 > 1:05:25When she is alone with her therapist,
1:05:25 > 1:05:27he is right there watching her, ready to pounce.
1:05:27 > 1:05:30And you just expect her to just come out and say it?
1:05:30 > 1:05:31Are you guys fucking stupid?
1:05:31 > 1:05:33Because she was here asking for help
1:05:33 > 1:05:35and you just send her back to the fucking shark.
1:05:35 > 1:05:37I realise you're upset, Grace.
1:05:37 > 1:05:40But yelling at me isn't an effective form of communication.
1:05:42 > 1:05:45OK. OK, Jack.
1:05:47 > 1:05:48Jack, I'm sorry.
1:05:48 > 1:05:52Please cancel the pass until we figure this out, because I know her
1:05:52 > 1:05:55and I know that things are not good at home.
1:05:55 > 1:05:57And how do you know that? Because she read you a children's story?
1:05:57 > 1:05:59Don't fuck with me, Jack.
1:05:59 > 1:06:02I am on the floor every day with those kids.
1:06:02 > 1:06:05And last night, that girl sat next to me and she cried,
1:06:05 > 1:06:07and she tried to tell me the only way that she knew how.
1:06:07 > 1:06:10Grace, you are a line staff.
1:06:10 > 1:06:12It's not your job to interpret tears.
1:06:12 > 1:06:14That's what our trained therapists are here for.
1:06:14 > 1:06:16Then your trained therapists don't know shit.
1:06:16 > 1:06:20Did she tell you that she was being abused by her father?
1:06:20 > 1:06:21She didn't have to!
1:06:21 > 1:06:23If I'm going to take that child away
1:06:23 > 1:06:25from her biological parent, yes, she does.
1:06:27 > 1:06:30- This is bullshit. - Grace...
1:06:30 > 1:06:33I have been working with these kids longer than you've been alive.
1:06:33 > 1:06:36And there's not one of them that I wouldn't die for.
1:06:36 > 1:06:38I look into those broken eyes.
1:06:38 > 1:06:41I want to go out and find the asshole who did that to them
1:06:41 > 1:06:42and beat the shit out of them.
1:06:42 > 1:06:45But although I feel that way every single day,
1:06:45 > 1:06:48I know I can't track down everyone who's hurt them.
1:06:48 > 1:06:51I know I can't heal all their wounds, and I can't start
1:06:51 > 1:06:54accusing all their parents of being sexual offenders.
1:06:55 > 1:06:58Especially when they're friends of friends, right, Jack?

1:10:59 > 1:11:02- Hey. Grace, where are you going? - I can't do this.
1:11:04 > 1:11:07OK, let's go. Let's go. I'll drive us home.
1:11:07 > 1:11:09Don't want to go home.
1:11:09 > 1:11:12That's not what I'm talking about.
1:11:12 > 1:11:14I know it's been a really fucked up day, OK?
1:11:14 > 1:11:17Mason, you have no idea what I'm going through right now.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22Then tell me. That's how this works.
1:11:22 > 1:11:25You talk to me about it so that I can take your hand
1:11:25 > 1:11:27and fucking walk through this shit with you.
1:11:27 > 1:11:28That is what I signed up for, OK?
1:11:28 > 1:11:32But I cannot do that if you won't let me in.
1:11:35 > 1:11:38I can't.
1:11:40 > 1:11:42I'm sorry.
1:11:45 > 1:11:48You're sorry?
1:11:48 > 1:11:50Grace, are you serious?
1:11:50 > 1:11:53I've been waiting for you for a really long time,
1:11:53 > 1:11:55and I wouldn't take a second of it back
1:11:55 > 1:11:58because I love you so goddamn much, OK?
1:11:58 > 1:12:01But I have been waiting for three years for you to tell me
1:12:01 > 1:12:03why you still don't trust me.
1:12:03 > 1:12:05I've been waiting for three years for you to just once
1:12:05 > 1:12:08take the advice that you give your kids every fuckin' five minutes
1:12:08 > 1:12:11and learn to talk about what's going on inside your head.
1:12:13 > 1:12:15You can't do that for me?
1:12:18 > 1:12:21Whatever it is, OK, just talk to me.
1:12:25 > 1:12:27But I can't do this.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35I can't... I can't marry you.
1:12:36 > 1:12:39I can't have your baby. I can't have any of it.
1:12:46 > 1:12:48I can't do it.
1:12:57 > 1:12:59So what do you want to do?
1:13:04 > 1:13:06Hmm? Do you want to get an abortion?
1:13:12 > 1:13:14I already made the appointment.
1:13:32 > 1:13:34Do whatever you want, OK?

1:16:42 > 1:16:44Probably.

1:17:06 > 1:17:08What he hit me with.
1:17:09 > 1:17:11How he got drunk.
1:17:13 > 1:17:15How he forced me to take a shower with him.
1:17:20 > 1:17:22Got me pregnant.
1:17:27 > 1:17:29I sent him to prison.
1:17:32 > 1:17:35I didn't...talk about it.
1:17:36 > 1:17:38I didn't think about it.
1:17:42 > 1:17:43Until I met you.
1:17:48 > 1:17:51And I don't know.
1:17:53 > 1:17:56I have a baby inside of me, and I don't know.
1:17:57 > 1:17:58I don't know what I'm doing.
1:18:07 > 1:18:09I was just trying to help you.
1:18:22 > 1:18:24Oh, my God.
1:18:25 > 1:18:28He loves the belt.
1:18:28 > 1:18:30Such a cliche.
1:18:30 > 1:18:32Jayden, we have to do something about this.
1:18:32 > 1:18:36Should go bash his face in with a baseball bat while he's sleeping?
1:19:13 > 1:19:15Uh, we should get out of here.
1:19:17 > 1:19:19He'll sleep through anything.
1:20:21 > 1:20:24OK. Now we should get out of here.
1:20:52 > 1:20:54They're going to ask you a lot of questions.
1:20:55 > 1:20:57It's going to be hard.
1:20:58 > 1:20:59I'll try to leave out the part
1:20:59 > 1:21:01about you breaking into that house with a baseball bat.
1:21:04 > 1:21:06Thanks.
1:21:07 > 1:21:11You're going to be a really good mom.
1:21:17 > 1:21:20I told him this was going to be the last time I came home.
1:21:23 > 1:21:25Wasn't going to take his shit any more.
1:21:28 > 1:21:29And that set him off, of course.

1:22:40 > 1:22:42I think I am too.
1:22:58 > 1:23:02Grace, I know talking like this is really hard.
1:23:02 > 1:23:06But this is our fourth session together,
1:23:06 > 1:23:08and I'd really like you to try, OK?
1:23:15 > 1:23:17I don't really know what to say.
1:23:19 > 1:23:21Your dad's getting out of prison in a week.
1:23:21 > 1:23:23Do you want to talk about that?
1:23:32 > 1:23:34OK.
1:23:55 > 1:23:57Are you OK?
1:23:58 > 1:23:59Mm-hm.
1:24:03 > 1:24:05Watch that monitor over my shoulder.
1:24:07 > 1:24:09I think he's... There we go.
1:24:09 > 1:24:11There he is.
1:24:15 > 1:24:17Stay with it. Hang on a second.
1:24:20 > 1:24:22Hang on.
1:24:22 > 1:24:25That's... That's the baby's heartbeat, man.
1:24:25 > 1:24:27Oh, man.
1:25:08 > 1:25:09So you need to get ready for this
1:25:09 > 1:25:12because it's so fucking unbelievable.
1:25:12 > 1:25:14It's going to seem fake, but I promise you it's not.
1:25:14 > 1:25:17- Grace will vouch for it. - It depends if you tell it right.
1:25:17 > 1:25:19There is no way not to tell this right.
1:25:19 > 1:25:21It is a storyteller's wet dream.
1:25:21 > 1:25:22- What? - Get ready for this.
1:25:22 > 1:25:24- OK, just in time. I'm going to start at the beginning, OK?- OK.
1:25:24 > 1:25:28So three years ago, right, we have this girl here named Liza Green.
1:25:28 > 1:25:32She's 17, older than everybody else on the unit at the time.
1:25:32 > 1:25:35And I don't mean this in a pervy way or anything, but she's real pretty.
1:25:35 > 1:25:36She was gorgeous.
1:25:36 > 1:25:38All the guys on the unit want her,
1:25:38 > 1:25:41but she won't give any of them the time of day, cos she was busy.
1:25:41 > 1:25:43- She was always studying. - She was very smart.
1:25:43 > 1:25:44- Mm-hmm. - Really smart.
1:25:44 > 1:25:48So two weeks before she turns 18 and leaves, we get this new intake.
1:25:48 > 1:25:50It's a 15-year-old guy. He's really tough.
1:25:50 > 1:25:52He's really quiet. But he's cool.
1:25:52 > 1:25:55He's just kind of like kicking back, checking out the scene.
1:25:55 > 1:25:57And I swear I didn't hear him say a word
1:25:57 > 1:25:58the whole first week he was here.
1:25:58 > 1:26:01But then one day we were doing community meeting,
1:26:01 > 1:26:02and we ask for announcements.
1:26:02 > 1:26:05And this guy raises his hand
1:26:05 > 1:26:07and he looks directly at Liza Green
1:26:07 > 1:26:10and he says, "I know you don't know me. I just got here.
1:26:10 > 1:26:12"But I just want to say that I've been watching you.
1:26:12 > 1:26:16"I think you're the most interesting thing about this place,
1:26:16 > 1:26:18"and I'm really sad I'm not going to get to know you before you leave.
1:26:18 > 1:26:20"I just wanted to tell you that."
1:26:20 > 1:26:22What a pimp! What she say?
1:26:22 > 1:26:24Nothing.
1:26:24 > 1:26:26- Nothing? - It was so awkward.
1:26:26 > 1:26:28Yeah, so fuckin' awkward I couldn't stand it.
1:26:28 > 1:26:30And then she left and never talked to him.
1:26:30 > 1:26:32The kids teased him for like a year about it.
1:26:32 > 1:26:34Aw. Oh, that blows.
1:26:34 > 1:26:37No, he didn't give a shit. No, didn't even faze him.
1:26:37 > 1:26:40It was like he knew something everybody else didn't.
1:26:40 > 1:26:43- Who is this guy? - That was Marcus.- What?!
1:26:43 > 1:26:44I never heard this story!
1:26:44 > 1:26:46- Oh, wait. It gets so much better. - Yeah, so check this out.
1:26:46 > 1:26:49Grace and I are getting coffee at Ronnie's this morning,
1:26:49 > 1:26:52and we walk in. And who do we see sitting there alone at a table?
1:26:52 > 1:26:53Marcus.
1:26:53 > 1:26:57- How's he doing?- Oh! - He looks great.- He's so good.
1:26:57 > 1:27:00Buttoned-up shirt. He's sippin' on a cappuccino.
1:27:00 > 1:27:03- Marcus drinks cappuccino? - Yeah.- Apparently.
1:27:03 > 1:27:04- Yeah, I guess so. - Apparently he does.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06So we're talking to him and we're catching up.
1:27:06 > 1:27:09And he's telling us about his new job at the aquarium
1:27:09 > 1:27:10and how much he takes home in tips
1:27:10 > 1:27:13and how he's going to start applying for classes next semester.
1:27:13 > 1:27:16Oh, my God! Yeah. And it's weird because I'm like,
1:27:16 > 1:27:20"I have not heard Marcus talk this much ever, since I met him.
1:27:20 > 1:27:22"Like, what is the deal?
1:27:22 > 1:27:25"Is he excited to see us? Is he nervous about something?"
1:27:25 > 1:27:28And that's when I notice there's another cappuccino on the table
1:27:28 > 1:27:31and an empty chair next to him.
1:27:31 > 1:27:34And then just like in the fucking movies,
1:27:34 > 1:27:37bathroom door flings open, out walks Liza Green.
1:27:39 > 1:27:41- They were on a date? - It was like their fifth one.
1:27:41 > 1:27:43Oh!
1:27:43 > 1:27:46As soon as soon as she sits down, dude just goes beet-red.
1:27:46 > 1:27:49He's so embarrassed. Oh, it was so cute.
1:27:49 > 1:27:51Oh, it was so fucking cute, I almost pissed my pants.
1:27:51 > 1:27:53Oh Jess, they looked so happy together.
1:27:53 > 1:27:54So happy. And there's just...
1:27:54 > 1:27:56SHRIEKING
