better is if you draw the line.

Okay.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- I'll do it.

What the f***?

Carson,

I'm Dr. Dean Prentiss.

Please have a seat.

No, I'm not

doing this right now.

All you have to do is listen.

Nobody here's gonna

force you to do anything.

I need to go to my room first.

I want you to listen to what

they have to say before you use.

Carson, we're not going anywhere

until you hear us out.

Please have a seat.

Steve.

"I've seen you go from

a straight 'A' student

"who memorized Bible verses

"to a junkie who would do

anything to buy her pills.

"If you don't get help now,

"I will no longer

give you an allowance,

"and as painful as it is,

"I can no longer stand by

and watch you kill yourself

right before my eyes."

Good.

- I'll leave.

- And go where?

Steve, that's enough.

So, you won't get help?

You can't help me.

Mom.

"Carson, we love you

so very much,

"and we are so very proud of all

that you have accomplished.

"But we can't

stand by any longer

and watch you destroy yourself."

The path that you now travel

is troubled,

and I just believe

that this is the Lord's way

of answering all our prayers.

The Lord does not care about me.

Maybe that's because

you've been defying Him.

I'm not defying Him!

Shh, shh!

It's okay.

Okay, McKee.

"Carson, you're

a really good friend,

"and I really want you

to get better.

"We used to have

so much fun together.

Then, all of a sudden,

things changed."

Shut the f*** up!

Eat these lies, b*tch!

Carson, stop right now!

What are you doing?!

Just leave her alone!

Carson, stop it!

- Stop her!

- Let her go.

Everybody, just let her go.

Everything's okay.

Carson, I'm coming in.

Carson, what you're going

through is not uncommon.

I've been through it myself.

I'm an addict too.

I lost everything.

With drugs, I lost my...

my job, my family,

my self-respect.

Yeah, but now you're

a big TV star,

so I guess it all worked out

pretty well for you.

It worked out for me

because I got help.

I know how you feel.

You don't like using drugs.

You're not getting high anymore.

You are a maintenance user.

You just don't know how to stop.

You don't know what this is.

Tell me.

You won't believe me.

Try me.

No, thanks.

Tell them how you really feel,

Carson.

What are you talking about?

- What's he talking about?

- I don't know.

Jason, shut up.

Carson, it's... it's okay.

Look at me.

There's something...

evil inside of me.

And you're using drugs

to keep down that evil,

violent feeling.

All kinds of names for

what you're going through.

That's what addiction is.

You're possessed.

But you can get better, Carson.
