When can I take her home?
:26:15
Take a seat.

Children don't always know
what's best for them.

:26:26
We have children whose parents beat them.
:26:29
Yet they cling to their parents.
:26:32
I've never hit her. How dare you!
:26:35
Just an example.
:26:37
Look at Manju. Why doesn't she speak?
:26:41
She wants to go home.
She doesn't like it here.

:26:45
She was fine. She used to talk a lot.
:26:48
The past is irrelevant.
:26:51
We're dealing with the present here.
:26:54
You see, women like you...
:26:58
Well, let's forget about that.

Your file's here. Let me look.

:27:14
"the state has decided...
:27:15
"for the child's welfare, she must be kept...
:27:20
"in state custody until she comes of age."
:27:32

:27:36
But why?
:27:38
Why not let her be adopted
by a good family?

:27:44
Her life will be made.
:27:47
It'll be easier on you, too. Won't it?
:27:53
She's my daughter.
:27:57
She's all I have in the world.
