Migi & Dali (2023) s01e02 Episode Script
Welcome Party
1
MOUNTAINSIDE, KITA-KU, KOBE CITY
ORIGON VILLAGE
Is Hitori having his bath?
Yes. It was about time.
Now we have the chance
To talk about that
We will live here
under the guise of a single person.
We have to keep it up.
But, Dali
That old couple may be
a lot tougher than we assumed.
How could they wash themselves with this?
It means we have to always be
on our toes, Migi.
Skin probably accumulates
along with your age.
They're in their sixties,
so they must have 60 layers' worth.
That must be it.
Hitori.
Is the water hot enough?
My, I see that you're already
having a dip. Wonderful.
I'll leave your pajamas and towel here.
Okay.
Oh?
There are two sets of clothes
These must be two days' worth.
That was close.
Our cover was almost blown.
Say. What are pajamas?
Dali, you're wearing this tomorrow.
What? You want to know
what pajamas are for?
Yeah. I've never worn them
at the orphanage.
Well, I suppose wearing pajamas
makes you feel like
you're sleeping in your own home.
-Home
-Yes!
This is your home now, Hitori.
We are a family.
All done. You have such lovely hair.
I hate this hair.
Oh, but why?
The orphanage kids
always called it quirky.
Hitori.
Being different from others
is a wonderful thing.
Don't you think
Sardine has a charming name?
Isn't it, Sardine?
See?
Besides, if your hair is quirky
That makes mine fantastically quirkier!
Then mine's even more quirky.
It's bomba-stically quirky!
-Bomba?
-Yup!
Bomaye!
-Bomba!
-Bomaye!
For a minute there,
you looked like an actual son, Migi.
That's a creepy accusation, Dali.
This is all to cement our place here.
So we can investigate the villagers here.
Time to move on to the next phase.
Yeah. Let's set out.
Hitori?
Do you have a moment?
Mommy and Daddy are heading out.
There's something we must do.
Is that so? Can I join you?
Oh well
Sardine! Yes, Sardine will be all alone.
Which is why we would
like you to hold the fort.
Okay. I understand.
We'll see you later.
This is very suspicious.
They must be hiding something from us.
OUR ROOM
If they are
This is
Their bedroom, it seems.
Migi.
I found an odd thing.
What's this? A triangular cloth
with three strings?
I've got it, Dali!
Here I go.
It doesn't work indoors.
Bah.
What is wrong with this animal?!
Migi, he's after that cloth!
Blasted beast.
Let's continue. That room is next.
This is the old man's room.
PRIVATE
My heart feels each hit
When two small fists deliver
A shoulder massage
Pain can be withstood
Me giving a ride on my shoulders
This matters the most
Before me I see
Blue and white striped pajamas
Hitori stands
-"Smells like an attic"
-"Back cannot support a thing"
"Utterly useless"
There doesn't appear to be
Anything of note.
Perhaps this old couple
have nothing damning to hide.
Something is under the photo.
Let's see.
There really is more to them
than meets the eye.
This is the old man.
As for this beautiful woman
She's not the old lady, that's for sure.
What does this mean?
She must be his mistress.
Why did you react that way?
Everyone has skeletons
in their closet. No exceptions.
This is the final room
of the second floor.
It appears to be a closet.
That explains the musty smell.
Wait, Dali!
-Are you scared, Migi?
-Of course not.
What about you, Dali?
I'm blocking out
the stench of the clothes.
What is this curtained room?
It seems odd
Dali, there's little oxygen here.
We should go outside
Human hair!
What are these doing here?
The old lady often strokes my hair
Is that related to this?
Stop that.
Release Migi, you beast!
I said release him!
I hear a car!
They're back!
Were you trying to tell us that?
Do you wish to be our servant?
Hurry, dear. He mustn't see us.
I know.
Suspicious.
We can't let Hitori find this
before the welcome party.
Welcome party?
Yes. We will blindfold him
at 3 p.m. tomorrow.
Then, this will be brought before him.
Hitori will be so surprised.
I feel like doing the boogie-woogie.
That machine is made to
tear off hair in one go.
They call it a welcome party, except
it's actually Hitori's shearing show.
They're sick.
I can't believe they were
after hair the whole time.
This is unforgivable.
They will get what they deserve.
We won't let our hair
be taken without a fight.
Hitori, it's almost time
for the welcome party.
-Are you ready?
-Yes, Dad.
Honey, the guests are coming.
I can't decide on which dress to wear.
This one is my favorite
but it makes me look plump.
You look good in it.
Dear, I'm looking for actual feedback!
Oh my, you have me stumped.
I think it would be nice
if you both wore black.
Hitori.
Black? Isn't that
rather gloomy for a party?
But all of us wearing black
makes us look like a family.
This should do.
We'll show them what happens
when you try to fool us.
Allow us to introduce him.
This is our son, Hitori Sonoyama.
I'm Hitori.
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
You better do this right, Dali.
You must play your part, Migi.
This is the Ichijou family.
Pleased to meet you. I'm Reiko Ichijou.
-How old are you, Hitori?
-I'm 13 this year.
Oh, you're Eiji's age.
-I'm Eiji. Nice to meet you.
-Likewise.
Over there is my sister, Karen.
Hello
-Which school do you go to?
-We're still discussing that.
You know how difficult it could be
to enroll in this period.
In that case, you should have him
join the Boy Scouts in the meantime.
Oh, Tsutsumi.
Aren't the Boy Scouts fun? Right, Maruta?
Flag signaling rocks.
Setting up tents, cooking curry,
tying knots, flag signaling,
making a fire and collecting trash.
Oh, and flag signaling rocks.
That was very good! What did you say?
I hope we get along.
What are you looking at?
These are sweets.
My parents asked me to give you these.
Oh, thank you! You are?
Akiyama.
Do you like birds?
Huh?
There's a birdhouse in your garden.
Right
The tori in my name means bird too.
Sadly, I'm a flightless bird.
I see.
I was so surprised.
Wasn't it two months ago
when you visited the orphanage?
You had all the paperwork done in a jiffy.
Origon Village is
a little special, after all.
What do they call it, a special ward?
It allows you to speed up the procedure.
-How convenient.
-Now's your chance, Migi.
-Aren't you moving out, Nezu?
-I know, Dali.
I am, but I was against it.
This red wine is super spicy!
Water, water!
Are you okay, Mom? Have some water!
Thank you!
-It still burns!
-Have some water.
-It continues to burn!
-Have some water.
-It hasn't stopped burning!
-That's not water.
It's a clear alcoholic spirit.
I won't go easy on you.
Right hand on blue.
Over here, Dad.
-You look slick, Dad.
-You think so?
This is olive oil.
They're ready to go up in flames.
Once the clock strikes three
When the shearing show begins,
sunlight entering through
the west window at a 30 degree angle
will be directed into this.
The couple, now highly flammable
due to the alcohol and oil
People will tremble in fear
at the sight of
spontaneous human combustion.
They'll think that they
incurred divine wrath.
Now our problem is deciding
who will be the bait.
-I'll do it, Dali.
-Migi!
I want to be up close, when the
wolves remove their sheep's clothing.
Migi, I respect your resolve.
I'll be sure to have the sun
That guy
If I recall, he's Eiji Ichijou.
Pardon me. I was looking for the restroom,
but I got lost instead.
The toilet is downstairs.
Thank you.
-Yes?
-Oh, nothing.
I think your hair is lovely.
Bye.
Creep.
Attention, please.
Could you please make some room?
Are we having a bingo contest?
Time to dance cheek to cheek!
This will only take a while.
-Have a seat, Hitori.
-Okay, Mom.
What is this?
Have a guess.
It's time
The sun is in position.
Crap!
Migi!
Mi-ssi-on a-bo-r-ted.
Let the sun burn it all.
Those liars and their false pretenses!
Hitori. You may remove the blindfold.
Huh?
Strange
They aren't burning?
Why? Could it be
the plan failed?
Take it off, Hitori.
Damn it
Damn you all!
This is from us to our beloved son.
Thank you for coming to us.
Oh, dear. Do you not like it?
Hitori, are you?
I didn't think he'd be this delighted.
It's a roaring success, dear.
It sure is, honey.
Lighten up, Migi.
It's only a tiny burn.
I had to do something
since you were frozen stiff.
You couldn't act in that situation.
See? I fixed your shirt.
Who would've thought that
it really was a party for Hitori.
-Boogie-woogie!
-And can you believe it?
The beauty in the photo is the old lady.
The body works in mysterious ways.
Plus, the hair is all artificial.
Looks like there are still
many things we don't know.
Yeah.
I
I never knew.
Is this what having a family is like?
Dali?
Let's go, Migi.
Dali?! Go where?!
Where else?
To see our mother.
Seven years ago.
We lived with our mother
in Origon Village.
And then Mom died there.
We were too young to understand then
But now, we know.
Mom was killed by someone
in Origon Village.
We allowed ourselves to be adopted
to come here and find the culprit.
You know what comes next, Migi?
I damn well do, Dali.
We'll kill 'em.
Together, as a single, new person.
