You don't know who I am.

You don't know anything about

what I've been through.

What I'm here trying to do.

You couldn't care less.

Okay.

You can keep your phone off 'cause I'm not

ever going to be calling you anymore.

I wish you were dead.

Yeah... funny, huh?

You motherf***er!

I wish you were f***ing dead.

Uh...

Hello, baby.

Hello.

Thank you.

Thank you, sweetie.

I love you, baby. I've always...

I need you.

Don't growl at me, dingo.

Don't do it.

Don't growl at me!

Oh, baby.

Oh, baby.

I love you.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, god...

Krisha.

Hey, Logan,

wanna get me a chair?

Krisha, you need to

go back upstairs. No.

It's okay now, Robyn. I came

to apologize to everybody for

the Turkey thing,

and I'm cool...

Krisha. I want you... I've earned a right

to be at this table with my family.

You need to go back upstairs now.

I'm not going back upstairs.

Yes, you are. I'm going to

sit down at this table...

I won't even eat any of your

f***ing food, okay?

It's not my f***ing food.

You're coming with me.

Do you understand?

Now!

You're upset. You're...

You're embarrassing everyone.

I'm good.

- Krisha...

- I'm sorry...

Come back.

Krisha, come back.

- I f***ed up. I got it.

- I f***ed up.

Krisha, I have no idea

what you're doing.

I really, don't even know what

you're doing. I just told you

that I was sorry, Robyn.

I don't think "sorry"

really cuts it, Krisha.

Do you know that every person

that I love is in that room,

every one of them.

And I thought you were...

I'm so shocked.

I'm disappointed.

I really am.

Did you lie to me?

No!

I don't think you've

been sober, Krisha.

You told me you were sober.

I have been sober, Robyn.

How long?

I didn't think you were

really sober.

Oh, Krisha,

I don't really know how you can lie

to me about something like this.

This is so important.

This was your chance.

How do you lie to me?

This is Bobbie.

I've been taking care of you

your whole life.

I don't know

how you could lie to me.

I have to tell you this, Krisha.

Trey did not want you to come.

Because he was scared.

The whole family was scared.

But I defended you.

I told everybody you did the work.

I told them.

I shouldn't have let you

back in my house.

I'm gonna be sick.

I shouldn't... right now?

Okay, go in there. There's a...

Go right there.

Let me put on the light.

It's right there.

Are you all right?

I don't know... I don't

know what's wrong with you.

Put this on your head.

Oh, god...

Oh...

Krisha, what's

going on with you?

I don't know.

I don't...

There's something wrong with me.

Beyond the drinking.

You know, like, I'm stupid.

Beyond that.

It's like, I thought I could come here

and I would make it all okay, right?

I looked at mom today and I

looked at Trey and it was like...

"You f***ing blew this.

You blew it."

You didn't blow

anything for good.

Trey totally hates me now.

Krisha...

He's mad at you.

It doesn't mean he hates you.

There's a big difference.

He's really just hurt.

There's a lot you missed.

That doesn't mean you can't

fix it with him with time.

But you have to do the work.

That's all there is to it.

You have to do it.

Ugh... I thought

I was doing the work.

It's a lot to handle.

Like I'm... I honestly, I was like,

okay, right? I was, like, together.

I was healthy. I was like... And

then I come into the family...

Well, that can happen

to anybody, Krisha.

I'm the one, right?

There's a lot of dynamics.

I'm the eggshell one.

Yeah?

But one thing is true, Krisha.

We all do love you.

I love you for always.

No matter what happens,

I'm your sister.

You just love me because

I'm your sister.

No. I love you for who you are but we

have a... We have a life together.

We have a history.

With our mom and our family.

And I'll always love you.

But you've got to

get it together.

But it's in there.

You've got to find it.

I can't do it for you.

Everyone here loves you.

But you've got a lot of fixing to do.

Because you've hurt people.

Yes.

Right? You can do that.

You can do that. You can

find that inside yourself.

I promise. It's not

too late to do that.

Okay?

Will you try?

Please?

I love you, Bobbie.

I love you, too.

I want you to try.

Please try.

I will try, Bobbie.

Okay. That's all I can ask.

Do you know

what you've just done?

Every person that I love is in that room.

Every person!

He didn't even want you to come.

Because he was scared.

The whole family was scared!

But you know what I said?

"Oh, no, she's done

the work this time.

"She's sober now.

She's ready."

I can't believe it!

It's just so hurtful. I don't know how

a person does this to another person.

And I've really had enough.

I've had enough of you.

- I'm your mom.

- Krisha!

You came out of my body.

You came out of me!

No, you look at me and tell me...

Krisha!

You love me right now!

Krisha, get away from him!

- I want to hear you say it!

- Krisha!

Get away from me.

You shut the f*** up!

Don't tell me to shut the f*** up.

This is my house.

You shut the f*** up!

Get away from him!

Like you all...

All care so much about me...

Well, you know what,

I do care about him.

You left me, you abandoned me and

you took him and you gave...

You abandoned him! What the

f*** are you talking about!

- Tough love!

- You...

- Tough love!

- Oh, tough love!

What the f***... You are

turning him into one of you.

And you know what? I'd rather

be one of me than one of you.

I'm not your

f***ing son anymore!

See? Did you hear that?

Shut up!

Don't tell him to shut up!

Stop!

Stop it!

Get off me.

Get out!

Get off! Stop!

Stop! Get her out!

Chase, get her out!
