(intense music)
Feels like a little cubbyhole.
A great little place for someone who is homeless
and wants to use dope.
Due to my addiction, I've been homeless many times.
There was a night I slept right here
in front of this building, because there was a light on,
and I could hide myself from the road.
Here's a fine example of what you see every day,
probably almost in every area that you walk.
They'll have dirty needles.
Someone's camped out here, probably slept here,
they had nowhere to go.
Needed a private place to use and the blood in it is dirty.
I use clean needles,
I think everybody should use a clean needle.
It's just a really dark and evil place to be
when you're in the dope world.
You have nobody to trust.
No one to run to.
You kinda gotta sleep with one eye open.
People will rob you.
There's people that get stabbed here all the time.
Everybody's using everybody.
Everybody's hurting somebody.
And eventually sometimes
it can end in someone killing another person.
There's been many times
that I've walked the streets late at night,
and someone would grab me.
I can't believe that I got out of it.
I do a lot of trading.
I find stuff for people.
I donate it or trade it for cash or you know,
some dope, whatever.
This is a dumpster for example, you know I'll look in here,
and sometimes I'll just fill the bag.
There's some good finds in here.
I'd actually like to put a suit on and jump in here.
And I would, I'm not afraid.
That looks like purses.
And I'm gonna grab it.
They might not be all purses,
but there's definitely a purse in here.
Look at that, brand new spanking purse.
I've become addicted.
I look forward to it, it's like treasure hunting.
I find treasures.
People call it dumpster diving, I call it treasure hunting.
The garbage cans here are packed.
People throw away everything.
A lot of food gets put out here, that they don't want.
Like, cans of food, fruit, bags of bread.
You look at the date, if it's brand new, yeah, take it,
why not?
I've been pretty hungry before.
I've eaten fruit out of the garbage.
It's embarrassing, but when you're hungry,
you'll eat just about anything.
Every day I wake up, and I can't believe that I'm here,
looking for trash, so I can survive every day.
So what's your reaction to what you're seeing here?
This is just part of it.
You're gonna see some more in a minute.
But what do you,
what's you're reaction to what you're seeing?
It's disgusting.
It's gross, and it--
It just makes me angry, it's just lie after lie after lie,
and I had no idea it was that bad,
because she has lived with my dad on and off,
and when I talk to her she make, you know, I'm clean,
I haven't drank, I haven't been doing drugs,
I'm, you know, I've got counseling.
I mean, I haven't seen this side, and I had no idea
it was as dark as I'm seeing right now.
I mean, I've just, I'm shocked.
Seems like she's playing
like a character or something.
I had no idea it was that bad.
Her tone of voice and everything, I'm like.
She's so manipulative, that she, it just,
I'm angry, I mean I am, I'm angry now.
I'm just angry.
Well you should be,
'cause you are being played like a fiddle.
And I always thought I wasn't,
and I thought I was the one that she is not gonna play me
like I am this great detective,
and I'm gonna catch her, an apparently not.
Well just so you know, I saved the dark part.
Until she gets out here.
