Original subtitles

When I was a little girl, I hated loud noises,

conflict,

interruptions that would crash into my world uninvited.

I'd cover my ears and count

one Mississippi,

two Mississippi,

three Mississippi.

It calmed me down and gave me a sense of control.

I've never been one to just let go and let God.

I guess that's just me, the control freak.

But God has a way of schooling us,

teaching us when we least expect it,

whether we want him to or not.

Hey! Careful!

Sorry, yeah, no no no no no no.

What?

No I have Dave breathing down my neck, okay?

The draft, my desk,

today.

Corner Stone Literary, Hannah Meeks.

Yes, this is she.

I understand.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to--

Is this something that we can discuss over the phone?

I can have my assistant schedule...

I see.

Thank you, yes, good bye.

Hey, sorry, um,

you're gonna have to reschedule dinner.

That's too bad. Reservation at O'Malley's took months.

My father just passed away.

Um,

I have to fly to Ohio, so.

Wait, what?

Yeah, that was the lawyer.

I just got off the phone with him.

So I'm gonna have to fly out today.

I will be back.

Are you okay?

I didn't even know him that well so I just,

I know, but,

I have no idea why he would,

I'm sorry.

Don't be. I'll come with you.

No. No. You have to stay

and get that draft in to Frank today.

Hannah. Because Micheal,

I will be fine, okay.

Call me the second your plane lands.

Okay.

I love you.

Yeah, me too.

Frank,

no no no.

I know. I'm in Ohio until tomorrow.

whatever it is just...

Prue.

Hannah.

Mr. Morales, um.

Call me Mateo.

Come in.

My condolences.

Thank you.

Glad you could make it in such short notice.

Prue, would you mind seeing what the others are up to.

Water?

No, thank you.

Please sit.

It is exactly how I remember it.

Philip wasn't one for change.

No kidding.

You knew him well?

Too well.

Youngest lawyer at the firm and he still chose me.

I've been handling his affairs for the last few years.

Mr. Morales, I-- Mateo.

Mateo. Not to rush into things

but I do have a very important client meeting tomorrow, so.

Hannah, your father was a good man.

A godly man and he always wanted the best for you

and all his children.

Your mother was also godly woman.

My birth mother actually passed away and my father,

he remarried.

I'm so sorry, I didn't--

Mateo, why am I here?

Your father, Philip Meeks

has stated in his last will and testament that

you, Hannah Meeks,

are to be the sole guardian of his children.

I'm sorry, it sounds like you told me

I just inherited, kids.

That is more or less correct,

yes.

So,

I got this will.

Take a really good look at it

because they're very important parts of it that--

All right.

You, um.

Hannah.

Hi kids,

this is Hannah Meeks,

your sister.

Hiya sis.

Hiya.

My name is Benjamin,

Ben.

Ben, yes, of course, I remember.

Sure.

Prue, you were only five when I...

And what about you guys?

My name's Charity.

This is Eva.

It's nice to meet you.

And that is,

I'm Andy.

This is Clarence, wanna hold him?

Andy, put him down.

No.

Andrew Meeks, you need to--

I'm sorry. I just.

Would you all excuse me for just a moment?

I just need to, sorry...

Sorry.

Where's the bathroom?

You used to live here.

You passed it.

Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

Hannah Meeks.

Hey Michael.

Yeah, no, I know.

Things have been super crazy,

so I haven't had any time to be able to--

Michael?

Hello?

Michael?

What is going on?

I sent the kids to the basement to play.

Who's screaming?

Eva.

Right. Of course.

I'm sorry, where do you think you're going?

Memorial is tomorrow.

So it might be best to wait on legal matters until after.

For the kids' sake.

I cannot be responsible for five adolescents.

As much as we'd both like this to just disappear,

there are other matters to discuss.

The children's living arrangements are my priority.

My job.

That is my priority.

Of course.

I'll have my lawyer give you a call.

And I'll be available this afternoon.

In the meantime, get to know them.

After all, they are your siblings,

and finish reading that will.

We'll need to discuss that immediately.

Why me?

What is going on?

Eva Meeks, stop your screaming this second.

She only wears those boots.

She loves them.

Eva, we've talked about this a million times.

We don't wear muddy boots in the house.

She'll be fine.

They just,

Oh Andy get down from there.

Eva. I've got to save Clarence.

What do you say?

Clarence is just a frog.

Just give her the boot for the love of Pete.

Who's Pete?

Okay, you know what, just, here.

Hey!

Here.

You are not our parent.

No.

Why are you even here?

Are you okay?

She doesn't talk.

What?

Exactly, you know nothing about us.

We're just some poor little peasant children to you.

Really, okay.

Prudence if you would--

I'm Prue.

Prue,

I'm here because--

Because daddy died.

No, I'm sorry, look, please don't cry.

Okay, just, why don't we order pizza?

Yeah?

Okay. Sure. Yeah. Sure.

Cool, lets order pizza.

See, its fine.

Everything's fine, I'm fine, you're fine.

We're all good.

Oh my gosh, are you okay?

are you okay?

One Mississippi.

Two Mississippi.

Three Mississippi.
