Original subtitles

I'm just here to try to make things right, and right my wrong.

Previously on Sisters.

Do you want me to be mad at this man for the rest of my life?

Point made, but you've been doing a lot of lying. What are you doing here?

I came to check in with you. You and I have a professional relationship only. I

think Karen is fine.

How can you be so sure? Karen is not going to do anything to herself or to

sweet little baby.

My friend Karen, she's gone missing.

She's a grieving mother.

A lot of women grieve differently.

Karen?

Oh. Hi, ladies.

Officer Green, you got here before we did.

Yeah, I was going to air another call.

Okay, so did you find out anything?

No, unfortunately.

But some of my colleagues did speak to her mother down at the station.

And she filed a missing persons report.

Okay, good. So you all are looking for her?

Yes. We have five officers out there right now.

But if they don't find her in the next few hours, they're going to have to

an amber alert.

So what are we supposed to do?

Just sit here and wait for the worst?

I know it's hard right now, but...

It's getting important to gather as many details as possible.

Does anybody remember anything that was odd in the time leading up to Karen's

disappearance?

I mean, she's been more withdrawn.

But she just had a baby, you know?

So it's probably postpartum depression. Most mothers experience that. And she is

currently grieving the loss of her child.

So that's important. You could note that.

Her mother told me about the twin.

I mean, it's important to know that she hasn't really bonded with the child that

did survive.

Oh, um, what about the note she left?

Are there any clues there?

I read it, and historically, if someone's left something like that, it

that they've contemplated or already committed suicide.

Hello? Hey, Fatima.

Karen?

Don't say my name so loud, please.

What? Kim, what is going on?

Whose number is this?

Look, I can't talk for long, okay?

Okay, Kim, you're scaring me. Are you at home? No, look, I'm at this place, and

I ain't got my phone or nothing. I just, you know.

What place are you? Hold on. Let me get Zach. No, no.

This ain't none of Zach's business, okay?

Okay, all right. It's just me and you.

What is going on? You're scaring me. Are you in danger?

Is Faith with you?

I cannot explain right now, okay? I will text you the address. Come along.

Look, I got to go, okay? I'll text you there. Karen, what was that noise?

What is this place?

Zach!

Zach!

Zach?

Zachary Taylor.

Hope you're all right.

You gonna take me?

Sure.

Oh, God.

Hey. Hey, where are you?

I'm at Karen's.

Wait, you're where?

Before you say anything, Karen is missing.

Her and Faith are gone.

Zach, why didn't you wake me up?

Well, obviously I'm on couch duty, and to be honest, I didn't even really want

to worry you.

So you thought leaving in the middle of the night without saying anything was

better? No, it's not. All right, that's my fault. But did you not hear what I

said? Yeah, I'm sorry. What else is Miss Lisa saying?

Not much.

Like...

Apparently, Karen left some cryptic note talking about how she wanted to end it

all. So now Andy, Danny, and Sabrina, they all on their way.

But I don't really know much.

This shit is wild.

She ain't, like, pop up or nothing, right? Like, you know how she like to do

that.

Fatima?

Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

Has she popped up?

No, no, no, she hasn't.

Okay.

You call me if she does?

All right, I will.

All right, let me get back to these people. All right, just call me later,

All right, bet.

Excuse me, officer, are you saying that Karen

hurt herself?

No, that's not what I'm implying.

I'm just listing out the possibilities.

Well, that's not possible, so think of something else.

Okay, ladies, let's just...

Not attack Officer Green. He's great at his job.

I think what he's saying is that we're just weighing the options.

Yes.

Thank you, Andy.

And did you remember anything else helpful?

Stay behind for an individual statement? That'd be great.

Well, honestly, I'd rather get inside to see if there's any more clues.

Oh. Same.

Yeah. But let us know if there's something you find.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, I'll...

Mm -hmm.

Thank you for this.

Danny. Danny King.

It's like I don't even... I don't even recognize myself.

I look in the mirror and...

I'd be a stranger.

To see a woman who was so nice.

So nice.

Love my baby.

I do.

But sometimes...

Sometimes I'm just afraid to hold her for too long.

Sometimes I'm afraid that I'll

break.

Or she'll see that I'm broken. I don't know.

You're not broken, Karen.

You're healing.

Honestly, I am just so glad that I found this place.

Really, I am.

Of course.

And I want to thank you all for being here tonight.

You know, Forever Great Circle is a healing space.

Losing a child is something no mother should ever have to endure.

But you don't have to endure it alone.

I'll see you all next time.

And remember our mantra, through shared grief, We find strangers.

So, get it next time.

Get it next time, baby.

Okay.

Oh,

we

made

it. Hey.

Oh, thanks for coming.

No.

Karen, what is this place?

Oh,

lifeline.

Karen. No less entertainment.

I was drowning, okay?

With everything happening and just losing forever, I... Like my world

caving in on me.

I woke up in the morning and I just thought...

Stay. He's got to be different.

Right? Yeah.

So,

I packed a bag and I grabbed a seat and just left.

I didn't know this was what I was looking for.

God, I don't understand.

So you just left and came here?

Yeah.

I found this place online.

And it's for women who have lost a child.

Or know the pain I'm going through.

Oh.

Oh. Karen. Hey. Thank you so much for joining us tonight and for sharing your

story with the group. Oh, thank you for even having a place like this, really.

Oh, um, Brenda Fatima Fatima.

But hey, Matt, it's nice to meet you.

Karen was so brave for coming tonight. I'm so proud of her.

And it's nice to see she has support.

Yeah, for sure.

You know, I started this with just three women.

It was hard, but look at us now.

We provide comfort, hope, support to families who've lost someone.

Whether it's a child, a sibling, or a grandbaby, it's personal.

We're here to help folks heal and to teach others how to show up for them.

Well, Karen, you are always welcome to come back.

Fatima, you're welcome to join her anytime.

Thank you. This is really inspiring to hear.

Yeah. Thank you so much, Brenda, really. I mean it.

Absolutely. And I'll be calling you ladies.

Yeah.

Karen,

I'm...

I'm really glad you're getting the help you need.

Yeah.

But, um, I talked to Zach.

I told you not to tell him. He called.

Listen, your mom, Erin, the girls at your house going crazy right now.

What? They said you left some note talking about ending something.

And they had the house looking for you, yeah. Oh, no, no. That was a note just

of my thoughts that I was writing to myself.

What?

Be ready. Listen, you disappear in the middle of the night with your child and

leave a cryptic note. What do you expect people to do?

I don't know, but they call the cops.

Yes.

Just sit with me for a minute, okay?

Please.

All right.

Oh,

Officer Greenhead.

Well,

what did he say about Karen? Nothing new.

So we just have to sit and wait?

Yeah.

Patience isn't exactly my virtue either.

We will be fine.

But how can you be so sure?

You know, I have watched Karen face some horrific stuff.

I know she's feeling a little lost right now.

But she'll find her way back.

She gets her toughness from you, huh?

Well, you know, once a Marine, always a Marine.

Yeah, you scare me.

Same.

Just a little.

Good.

Excuse me, ladies.

Where's Aaron?

He's in her room trying to find something else.

Hey, I'm Karen.

It's gonna be a long night.

I'm gonna go get my laptop out of the car.

I'm gonna come with you.

Give you some air.

You look like this.

Really?

Just think. Call it like I see it.

Just thinking.

That thinking smells a lot like Henny.

That one's so rough, Negro.

It's been rough at home.

The team got me sleeping on the couch.

Well, what'd you do now?

I'm a little client.

Find himself coming to my house today.

Lost it.

Although it's your house now.

It's the same shit she said, but... Soon rolled up with an expensive ass gift

from my wife.

Had me all the way up.

Lord, I've seen what you've done for others.

Danny. Do it for me.

Focus.

What you say?

About not doing nothing with him?

Or about me calling her a groupie?

You really trying to get kicked out of your own house?

You know, Fatima's a good one, right?

Fatima, you my friend.

When y 'all two come so gal -pallish, like... You've been the only cool. Come

on, now.

It's just a lot going on, and then this Karen stuff, I don't even know no more,

Danny.

Zach, that's what I'm telling you to sober up, okay?

Fatima loves you.

Focus on that Karen stuff.

She's going to be all right.

Yeah, I know.

She's going to be all right.

I'm telling you.

I ain't got no room on my couch anymore.

I love you, Pam. I love you, too. I'm Stephanie, you think? Go make room on

couch. I got you. I got you.

I got you.

Hey, y 'all.

Oh, what's up, you?

Well, dang.

Good to see you, too, Danny.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Pam.

Any action on your behalf?

Nope. I waited at the salon and she never showed up. Could she be with one

her favorite clients?

Favorite? This lady? They don't like her like that.

Okay. Maybe another employee?

Employee? They don't like her either.

I'm the only one that actually like Karen.

Oh, you probably, um, confused that I called you here, huh?

Yeah, you definitely caught me off guard.

Not like we're exactly friends.

It was definitely giving set up.

I get that.

Yeah.

Definitely have our differences, but it wasn't about all that.

So why me? Why not your mom or one of the girls?

You're right.

Look, I know we have a history, complicated history.

But you wouldn't judge me, you know?

Bring a different kind of energy, and I definitely need that tonight.

Who am I to judge?

What's going on, Karen, that caused you to do this?

I don't even know where to start.

I mean, the minute I'm angry and the next I'm sad,

I don't even recognize myself.

And I know my body's still recovering, but it's lost.

Because I don't even care.

That was Jason.

My friends.

My mama, myself.

Everything just feels numb.

Can you hear me? Oh.

I can't even pretend like I know what you're going through because I don't.

This is a heavy load to carry alone.

And you shouldn't have to carry it by yourself, okay?

I think that's why God led me here.

I was listening to all the other women talk.

I felt like someone finally understood.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Karen.

Wait. Karen, where have you been? Are you okay?

It's okay. Is Faith okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

Here, please.

Jane. My God. Hi, baby.

That's my girl. Hi, baby.

Oh, baby.

Oh, my God. I'm so glad you're home.

You had us scared to death.

Sorry. Okay.

Oh, my God.

I thought I told you to call me and she popped up.

She didn't.

So how'd you end up here together?

I don't know.

I was so worried about you. You were terrified.

I wasn't.

I knew your ass was all right.

Exactly. You just needed a little drink, huh?

No, Pam. I did not go get a drink.

Then where were you, Karen?

Because you left us a note?

Hey, look.

That was just my thoughts.

Okay?

No one was supposed to see.

Honey, where did you go?

That's the million dollar question.

I was filling this pool to get help.

Real help.

So I found a support group called Forever Gray Circle.

So let me get this straight. You left us confused and terrified to go to

a group meeting?

Andy, I don't expect you to understand.

Well, honey, you left in such a hurry. I mean, first thing, you were sitting

right there with Faith, and then the next thing, you were gone.

But I was spiraling.

I went to Dr. Vaughn. He gave me a pamphlet.

Okay, I went online, and I found Forever Grace. I knew it was my angel leading

me there. I knew it.

Well, girl, you could have shot off the taxi company.

Okay, you know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, okay?

Trying to talk to y 'all sometimes, it's like...

Andy, you busy, right? You busy with the case.

Danny, you could be a bit aggressive.

Brina, you be kumbaya sometimes.

And Pam, well, look, I just wanted to be around a woman who could really relate.

That's all.

Well, Rita's the one I don't shoot.

Karen, we didn't know that you felt that way.

But you know that we're not sisters without you.

Honey, I knew you were all right.

I could feel it in my soul.

But, you know, I had to think about what you were going through, and the thought

of losing you is just unbearable.

And knowing what you have gone through and to have been able to come out on the

other side, oh, my God, you know, it's... You have no idea. It's a

You are stronger than you know.

Thank you.

Fatima came to pick me up.

I called her.

Karen, you know that if you would have called her, any of us would have showed

up for you.

Of course.

But, you know, Fatima and I have gotten closer, and I do trust her.

Okay. I'm not going to pretend that's not for you.

But who cares?

You're home safe.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone, for coming, okay?

I'm sorry, but I really appreciate knowing how much you care about Faith

Mandy, I would love it if you could call the women in my support group.

What for?

To represent them.

Maybe.

Some of them were patients of Dr. Cruz.

Really? How many women?

Two.

Coincidence.

Yeah, I'll see if I can... All right, well, I'm going to get out of here.

Okay. Thank you for answering my call.

Of course.

I'm not going to pretend like... I wasn't surprised that she knew my number

heart. Yes, I didn't. Yeah.

I'm glad I did.

All right.

Take care. Bye. Thank you.

So,

it's my cue to leave.

Karen, I'm happy you're home. You're safe.

Thank you. All right?

Thank you, Zach.

I don't know what it is.

Well, thank you.

Okay.

Yeah. Lady, uh... Bye.

Yo, I appreciate you, man. Yes, sir.

Oh, child, I'm going home. This is too much for me.

Before you yell at me tomorrow, I will be late in the morning just in case you

check the cameras. I understand.

Come on. Damn, girl.

This support group made you nice. You bitch.

I'm going to check on you tomorrow.

All right. Good night. Good night.

Bye, Pam.

I think I'm going to get going myself.

Oh.

I'm glad you're back.

Yeah.

Love you.

Yeah, I'm going to go, too. Get a couple hours of sleep.

Okay. Don't ever do that again.

I won't. I love you. I love you.

Well,

help.

Guess I'll go on home to my stay -at -home man, too.

Oh.

Don't do that shit again, okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Okay, baby.

I'll check on you in the morning.

Sorry for making you worry, Mom.

That's what mommies do.

You scared the shit out of me. I know.

I thought something happened.

I'm sorry.

I just, um... I needed to figure this out on my own.

It's not on your own.

I'm glad you're safe.

Baby, how'd it go last night?

I'm exhausted.

Karen's just got me.

I'm glad she's home. I just could have done without all the drama of it.

Yeah.

Well, if you're exhausted, you know what? I'll fix it, right?

Yes.

Okay.

Well, I was going to say me moving in, but...

Which you never gave me your thoughts about that. Mm -hmm. In fact, you didn't

really say anything.

Big news.

Mm -hmm.

Big news.

Look, babe, I just want you to picture it. All right?

Us two living together, full time.

All right? We'll be like two peas in a pod.

Two loons in a psych ward.

You're funny, huh? No, we'll be like two people building a future with each

other. Two people who love each other.

Babe, it's efficient, all right?

We'll be like a team. What's mine is yours and, you know, vice versa. My God,

I'm not still dreaming.

Maybe you're dreaming about me?

You don't have time for this, Tony.

All right, well, look, babe, I'm here all the time anyway, all right? So at

least say you'll think about it.

Yeah,

yeah, I'll think about it.

Okay.

Great.

So, um...

About my birthday next weekend.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Birthday boy.

Yeah. So I was thinking about doing a complete reset.

And you're going to be a major part of that.

I need it to be us, babe.

Well, Tony, I love you. I just... This conversation right now, I just... I

have it in me.

No, I get it. It's early, okay? How about...

Just give it some time and at least say you think about it.

Bet you.

All right, babe.

All right.

Have a good day at work.

All right.

Who are we betting on today?

So we not going to talk about this?

Talk about what, Zach? I'm mad you mad. What's left to say?

Oh, how about the fact that I asked you to call me if Karen popped up and you

just show up at her house with her?

What was I supposed to do, ignore her?

No, you were supposed to call me like we discussed. Instead, you out here moving

like a mediator.

Zach, I handled it, okay?

Karen called, I showed up, we talked about it, it's done.

Why are you so pressed?

Pressed? Yeah.

You're the main one always telling me to communicate.

Now you're out here moving like I ain't shit.

Communicate? We want to talk about communication?

Like you communicated when you left in the middle of the night? Or how about

when you hired a whole midwife behind my back?

I didn't. That was me trying to help her, Tima. Stop playing.

You know them hospitals ain't shit.

No. Zach, that was you trying to decide what was best for me without even asking

me first.

Right. It's okay when you do it, but when I do it, it's a problem.

You women and these double standards, boy.

Yeah, well, at least we got Sanders.

But it's cool.

Oh, it's a shade.

Just like it was cool, right, for your little boyfriend to walk up in here in

house with gifts for you, right? That was cool, too, right?

Zach, we already discussed this. Chaz is not an issue.

And don't act like you all innocent, coming in here all drunk in the middle

the day, telling me not to leave only for you to leave in the middle of the

night.

Yeah. You know what?

I'm not doing this.

I'm not doing this. Of course. Of course you're not. Go ahead.

Go ahead. That's what you're going to do. Leave, right?

Whatever, Zach. Whatever, Zach. Always whatever, Zach. I get your back. You

away. I get it.

I'm getting used to this, Fatima.

Good morning.

Now.

Now, what could possibly be going on now?

Nothing. I was just calling to check on you.

Well, I'm tired as hell.

Yeah,

same.

Well, I'm glad Karen's home.

Last night was a lot.

Girl, she's lucky we love her because I got enough stress going on, and the girl

who's braiding my hair said my hair's falling out.

I don't have the energy for this.

Yeah, but I'm not going to lie.

Seeing Karen with Fatima, and then did you see Zach's face?

Yeah, I'm not going to lie like that wasn't weird, but hey, I'm all for it.

Squash the drum. We've got time.

Yeah, you're right.

It was nice to see.

You know what? Andy thinks we done forgot about Ron and Gary, but I

Honestly, I was shocked to see Gary.

Oh, I wasn't shocked. That's the queen of spinning the block with Gary.

You know, he must really have some explosive.

He blows your mind and then blows up your life.

Do you think she's actually seen that bong guy?

I don't know.

But I know that first it was Gary.

And then the Menendez twins with Penelope and Jordan.

And then Jazz trying to kill her off like she's on an episode of Prison

Yep. And he does love love.

She better fall in love with the truth because I'm tired of fake friends.

Lying to my god daggone faith.

Oh, speaking of fake.

You still pretending like you for the streets?

If you're asking if I'm enjoying myself, yes, I am.

Okay. As long as you're done fooling with rock ass.

You're a doctor.

The funniest shit I heard all week.

Yeah, I'm a doctor.

Yeah, I mean, we're done, so.

Good.

You know, enjoy a little whole phase.

Because I'm over here domesticated and cleaning up after grown men.

Hmm. Well, how's it been since Tony quit?

Enjoying my couch and sports center.

Hmm.

Well, did you give him an answer about moving in?

No.

Not sure I'm ready to be his stay -at -home wifey. Well, shit, he's the stay

-home wifey.

Aw, come on, Danny. I think it's kind of sweet that he wants to spend all his

time with you.

Yeah, sweet as swamp water. I like his face.

Oh. Well, I did see you checking out Officer Green.

I mean, he's cute or whatever.

Just trying to be a good girlfriend.

Well, I kind of like domesticated Danny.

Don't get used to it.

Oh, by the way, I need to stop by the bank.

I need to get some money for the bank on my mattress.

What?

Wait, did you get your money?

You know I could have wired it for you.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm a rich woman now. I need cash.

Excuse me?

Yeah. You know, want to put it in the bank of my mattress.

Safest place besides, you know, my bra.

Okay, so what are you going to do with your cash?

I really don't know. I might just look at it. I could invest it.

I just want my money.

Well, okay.

I'm proud of you and I'm happy for you.

I got to go to work.

I'll call you later.

All right.

See you later, city girl.

Bye.

Oh, Miss Sabrina, it's getting very much walk of shame.

I wish.

We were with Karen all night. She went missing.

Missing? Now, what in the Lake Lanier kind of bullshit is that?

It's okay. She's fine now.

Fine? Mm -hmm. Carol, I was hoping that you was coming here to tell me that you

got your back snapped like a glow stick.

Maurice. What?

You in the streets. It comes with street signs and name -calling.

But enough about you.

Yes,

Maurice. Sorry. How was your evening?

Oh, girl, I thought you would never ask.

I am officially a member of integration, of gentrification, of black and white

nation.

What? Oh, yeah, girl.

Dylan, a .k .a. Channing Tatum, got me in a chokehold.

Oh, hold on.

Maurice, I...

Thought you said you were done dating.

Girl, me too.

Then he came over there with the vision board and talked about the future.

Then all of a sudden, I started to feel like a barefoot contestant.

Wanted to make fresh bread.

Bread, bitch.

Bread.

This sounds serious.

Then he grabbed my face and leaned in for a kiss.

Then all I could see was my future and hear wedding bells.

Now I'm pregnant.

Wait a second.

Did we just switch bodies or something?

Because it's very much giving.

I'm Sabrina and I overthink my love life.

Is it true?

Am I really you?

Am I boring and got a big head and funny clothes?

Do I overthink everything?

Excuse me. Use you?

No, you're not boring.

You're just scared.

And trust me, you don't want to be me right now and the dating scene is

horrible.

These men?

I don't know what's going on.

I don't even know why you put me on these dating apps.

Well, I must agree there.

The dating apps are ghetto.

Mm -hmm.

Somebody lying about their job or being a serial killer.

Exactly.

Well, we can talk about Rock.

You still letting him smash?

Yeah, but I've run into a bit of a problem.

What do you mean, a problem?

Rock is Danny's cousin.

Hell no, girl.

I know.

And I just promised her I would stay away from him. I don't know.

And here you are, daydreaming about his pea pistol.

I don't know.

I don't know what to do.

That is too good, ain't it?

Yeah. And see, this is when you become me.

Falling over community.

So what do you think I should do?

Do you think I should continue singing Rock for the D?

Or listen to Danny?

Good morning. Good morning.

So I got the names of the women in Karen's group, and I'll be emailing

you shortly.

Oh, that's great. I think we're going to need more than those few women to

convince Vincent to let us take on the case, though.

I couldn't even take all that. Let me take those off your hands. Thank you. I

appreciate it. Is everything okay?

Yeah.

Why?

You just seem a little off.

I'm just trying to refocus my energy on words.

Mm -hmm. Okay.

Thanks.

One more thing.

Karen?

Yeah, um, just glad she's safe.

Yeah, but she called you.

Out of the blue, and asked you to pick her up, and you did.

Yeah, well, at first I thought it was a trap, but I guess she was comfortable

calling me.

That's so unexpected.

Yeah, yeah, but we're all glad that she's safe, right? Of course.

Yeah, of course.

Okay, well, if there's nothing else, I'm going to go ahead and get to these.

Don't forget to check your lunch order.

Will do.

Good morning.

Make any coffee? I could use a hot drink.

Aaron?

You should have told me.

Told you what?

Come on, Karen. You left without saying anything.

Okay. This again?

Honey, we talked about this.

Okay? We did, and you went to sleep fine.

No. No. I was not fine.

Okay, I stayed up all night.

I just keep thinking about how you shut me out. I was not shutting you out. I

wasn't trying to hurt you. But you did.

You did.

Okay, you treat me like I don't matter.

I was just trying to carry my own weight.

I didn't know what to do because I'm alone in this. I am alone in this.

Alone? Yeah.

I have been here every day.

Right here. Okay.

Right? I've taken care of Faith. I've gotten up with Faith. I feed her. I have

been here. I've held us down while you treat me like I'm invisible.

Okay, okay. You know what?

I didn't ask for this.

I didn't ask for this. I didn't ask to feel this way, and I do not know how to

fix it.

Karen, I'm not even asking you to fix it. Then what?

I'm just asking you to let me in.

Because this isn't working.

No, I love you.

I love our daughter.

And I know you are going through some changes right now. But I am not going to

keep chasing you around just to be a member of my own family.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left like that.

No.

You shouldn't have.

All right, you scared me.

I thought I lost the two most important women in my life. No, I'm sorry.

What do you want, Karen?

I don't know. Come on, just tell me and I'll do it.

I need a change.

I need a change.

What does that mean, a change?

It means... I'm ready to leave Atlanta.

Don't I know you from somewhere?

No, I don't think we know each other, big doll.

Next. On sisters.

Picking up and leaving just because you had a rough year is crazy.

What?

Man, look, I think I knew some tales.

If you knew my family, then trust me, you remember them as crazy as they are.

Looks like I'm just going to have to come right out and see it.

Look, Ms. Brown, don't do this.

Please.

I really need my job.
