Migi & Dali (2023) s01e05 Episode Script
Water Flea's Song
1
Migi, the time is ripe.
Time to look through every nook
and cranny of the Ichijou house.
Listen, Migi.
You'll keep the family occupied.
In the meantime,
I'll investigate their wallpaper.
They don't know that there's two of us.
Stay sharp, Migi.
I hear you loud and clear, Dali.
We must tread carefully,
like we always do.
Like we always do.
Mum
Hitori Sonoyama
is not cleared.
We are so grateful
to be invited to your home.
We consider it an honor to have
a child as outstanding as Hitori over.
Bravo!
A toast to Hitori for placing first
in the regular course midterms.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Nope.
Nope.
Not this.
Darn. What is this, an anthill?
Where is the water flea wallpaper room?
What education did you give Hitori?
Well, actually
We've done nothing
Mom taught me how to bake a pie.
Are the Ichijous another dud?
But I can't help
but feel something's wrong.
Baking pies!
How lovely.
Perhaps you ought to show me how?
It would be my pleasure.
Your oven would fit a large pie.
How large of a pie?
As large as the Firewheel monster.
Dear, that's such an antiquated example.
-Pardon me.
-Suspicious.
So very suspicious.
Or as large as a UFO.
Ventura, Ventura.
The reason being
There's always fun and laughter
to be had with the Sonoyamas.
Gosh, all this flattery
will only earn you a cherry pie!
I thought as much.
Hitori has committed a crime.
Eiji.
Yes, Mother.
Hitori.
Does this ring a bell?
Mom's memento!
Hands in the air.
No, Migi!
Why were you checking around your neck?
That's
It seems you're currently wearing it.
The stolen button, that is.
Wait a moment!
Hitori would never steal!
Why would he even steal a button
from a friend's baby clothes?!
I asked myself the same thing.
It's because I trust Hitori
that I want to clear the air.
Take your shirt off, Hitori.
Hitori!
Dali!
This is too much, Eiji
Are you doubting a friend?
I did say that I want to believe you.
And you want me to take
my shirt off to prove it?
That's right.
But
What?
It's, uh, how do I put it
Well You know
Good. Keep it up, Migi.
It's embarrassing to take
my clothes off in front of everyone
This is not the time for jokes.
Hurry.
-Wait!
-Off with it!
Look, I haven't stolen anything.
Want to check my pockets? Sure.
Want to check inside my undies too?
Hitori.
We should be on our way.
Eiji. You should have a look
in the washing machine.
Fidelite.
Memorized it?
There's an object with the same scent.
Find it.
I didn't expect them to own a beast
For now,
I should throw the button far away
and get out while they're distracted.
Fidelite, is it there?
Oh crap
If they check under the table now
They will find out that there's in fact
Two of us.
I'm sorry.
I took it.
Migi?
Hitori, surely you'd
never do such a thing?
Absolutely. First of all,
when did you even steal it?
Weren't you with us this whole time?
When I used the bathroom,
the pajamas were lying there
Migi?
The button was so pretty,
I couldn't help myself.
Hitori's parents.
How have you been raising your child?
Please have mercy.
He meant no harm. Please forgive him.
What would the orphanage say
if they learnt of this?
I presume you would never see him again.
With that said
I have a proposal.
Leave Hitori under our care
until he develops the right attitude.
Hitori. Time for your meal.
I'm not an animal.
Out with it.
Why do you have a button
I lost eight years ago?
Don't make me repeat myself.
It was lying on the bathroom floor.
You're lying.
I've been searching for
this button for a long time.
I searched the entire house.
It certainly wasn't on the floor.
What are you hiding?
That's
I see.
Your mentality is warped.
Seems you have to be re-educated
from the ground up.
Migi's beyond that door.
Hang on. I'm coming for you.
No good.
That animal has been trained well.
In that case
I'll have to force it out of the way!
Now!
He's about to bite me!
Could it be
You wanted someone to play with you?
I'll play with you after I save Migi.
Mom.
Over here.
Isn't it like
The water fleas are singing?
Migi Migi
The water flea song?
Are you there?
Dali?
Migi! Just you wait, I'll open the door!
Dali. I'm staying here.
Migi? What are you?
They don't know there's two of us.
Their guard will be down
as long as I'm here.
Use the opportunity
to search through the house.
But Migi will you be okay?
-Are you being fed?
-Yeah.
-Are they mistreating you?
-No.
Migi are you telling me the truth?
Don't worry, Dali
I can't let him see me like this.
I'm fine.
-Can we talk for a while?
-Yeah.
I've looked around but there's
no sign of the water flea wallpaper.
Water flea
Hey, Dali. Do you remember?
We used to listen to the water flea song
under the bed with Mum.
Water flea song?
Now that I think about it, that was
the sound of a piano on the other side.
Piano
BOTTOM FLOOR: STOREROOM (X), PIANO
A hidden room
Migi, investigate the wallpaper
in that room!
Wallpaper
This is the room we used to live in
GOAL
WELL DONE, MY BELOVED MIGI AND DALI
Mommy!
What are you doing, Migi?! Pipe down!
Mommy!
You idiot.
You must be hungry.
Time for your milk.
You have to quickly grow to be like Eiji.
The Ichijous
keep their secrets well hidden.
I've been eavesdropping
on them since then.
But it's strange.
Not only do they barely speak,
they don't even bring up Migi.
What is with that button anyway?
Mom's dying message?
Is Eiji the culprit?
Nonsense.
Could a five-year-old commit murder?
Then who is it?
The more I think about it
the less I understand.
I'll start by turning
the father's study upside down.
Guess who?
No one should be home
at this hour on Wednesdays.
No one!
The answer: it's Micchan!
Micchan
I heard.
You're under the Ichijou's care now?
Yocchan and her hubby
have been sad all day and night.
Micchan, why are you here?
Why, cause I'm the housekeeper.
The Ichijous are on
my schedule every Wednesday!
That's right. She's the one
who found the wallpaper.
I have to make good use of her.
Say, Micchan.
Does this home have any secrets?
You tell me. I'd love to know myself.
Now then, time to get cleaning.
Oh, you slippery eel!
There has to be something!
Our mother was held captive here.
-That's Mom!
-Find something?
Hey, Micchan.
Do you know the person in the glass?
Judging by her clothes,
probably the housekeeper at the time?
That's weird.
She seems young, except the Ichijous
won't hire anyone aged below 50.
No, bad me.
I wasn't asked to clean the second floor.
Oh, Hitori.
My, would you look at these crumbs!
How could I not clean them up? No siree!
Hitori, you search below!
I'll focus above!
Here, there, everywhere.
Micchan, you're enjoying this.
You bet I am.
I want to dig up some juicy scandal
about the oh-so-beloved Ichijou family
and share it with someone right away.
Oh my.
That's strange
Dust usually settles on
picture frames like these.
Oh no, we have an art thief.
No fair, Micchan.
I'm the one who found it.
Micchan?
Micchan, what is this?
A diorama of Origon Village, I think?
Look, Hitori, the Sonoyama house!
Yocchan and her hubby!
Akiyama
The rodent
Oh my gosh!
I'm here even though
I live in the next village.
In the Ichijou house
Heavens, my eyes are too close together.
Micchan?
This
is data on all the village residents.
This means the Ichijous
Are keeping an eye on Origon Village?
Someone is home?
Over here, Hitori!
Don't come out
until the coast is clear. Got that?
What about you?
Don't worry.
Leave the cleaning up to me.
Micchan
