No, y... you can sleep here

if it's 32 degrees below.

But it's not 32 degrees below.

Come on.

If you need some

medical treatment. I'm sorry...

It's more than 32.

You have to go. I'm sorry, sir.

There's wind chill. No.

Please. Please, sir.

No. Listen, I can't do

anything about it, sir.

Please don't make my life miserable.

What are you talking about?

I'm not bothering anybody here.

It does not mat...

Do you know where Bellevue is?

You can stay here.

The homeless intake center?

Go there.

It's 30th and 1st Avenue.

I don't believe this.

There's nobody here...

Listen to me.

Oh, come on.

It doesn't matter.

I don't wanna get in trouble.

Please.

I'm sorry, sir,

about your situation.

Just please go.

I don't wanna have

to call the cops. Sorry.

Thank you.

What? I can't. No.

And I said...

I told her, I told her.

A couple of days ago my

husband found out where I live.

And he tossed me around the

kitchen and I hurt my back too.

Come on.

...and I told her

and I was hurt.

That's it. I made a mistake.

I made a mistake.

Stupid.

As you enter the facility

please take all outerwear off.

Belts off.

All items out of your pockets.

Remove all hats, scarves.

Any unauthorized items,

please get rid of them now.

As soon as your stuff

goes through the machine

an officer will instruct you to

walk through the metal detector.

Once your stuff is cleared

from the x-ray machine

please bring the bin back,

get yourself set up

and ready for check in.

Thank you.

One at a time. One at a time.

Sir, please remember to remove

all items and your belt please.

Thank you.

Look, all I...

I'm just looking, uh

place for a couple of nights

'cause it's,

it's over 32 degrees outside.

Look, uh, that's...

Just a little while.

That's not what I'm asking.

Okay?

I'm looking for your name.

I wanna see if you've been

already assigned a shelter.

Don't bust my ball.

No, no, I'm sorry.

I... I... look,

can I just get uh... uh

a bed for one night.

Do you have any form of ID?

No. I don't.

Do you have anybody

you can call?

Anybody you could stay with?

A friend's couch?

I don't have,

I don't have anyone.

Nothing?

Look, are you filled up

or something?

Bec... is that...

I could come back later

if it's... if that's better.

There's no later.

No. The law says we have to

give you a bed.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, I could...

Any place is fine.

Anything you got. I mean

the floor is fine with me.

I just need a blanket.

A blanket makes me sleep better.

I... I like a blanket.

Okay, look, you'll stay here

tonight in a bed.

Okay. Good.

We'll evaluate you.

If you qualify, you'll be

assigned a permanent shelter.

A what?

A place where you could stay.
