Mission: Yozakura Family (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
[Mutsumi] And then, guess what?
Even though they'd
just had the hugest fight,
apparently they started dating
the very next day!
[chuckles] Are you kidding me?
Ever since then, it's been called
the Matchmaking Ferris Wheel,
and they say that if a couple
watches a sunset together from it,
-they'll be happy together!
-[Taiyo] Uh?
[Mutsumi] On our next day off,
I'd love to spend the day with you
and ride that Ferris wheel!
I mean, if you want
Hello? Taiyo?
Are you still there?
-Sorry, Mutsumi. I'm hanging up for now.
-[Mutsumi] What?
You're Taiyo Asano Am I right?
[Taiyo] Uh, yes.
I'm Hotokeyama of the Koizumi Precinct.
POLICE OFFICER
SEIJI HOTOKEYAMA
Would you mind coming with me?
[opening theme playing]
MISSION: YOZAKURA FAMILY
KOIZUMI POLICE STATION
-[keyboard clacking]
-[Hotokeyama] Why don't we
cut right to the chase, then?
PLAN 5
INTERROGATION/DATE
This was posted on the dark web.
This is you, right?
[Taiyo] Whoa, it's all over the Internet!
But they told me that they covered up
all of the Yozakura family's activities!
Also
possession and use of a firearm,
trespassing onto private property
taking part in an early-morning car chase
on a public street.
Ah And you blew up your school, too?
I mean, are you trying
to become the god of juvenile crime?
[Taiyo] Things I didn't do
are mixed up in there!
[Hotokeyama] But you know
what's strange about this?
There's nothing whatsoever
on your co-conspirators.
Even though these are all crimes
that are clearly beyond kid territory.
There's got to be more to this. Like
for reasons unknown, you belong
to some secret organization maybe?
If you have a good reason, you'll
get off easy on extenuating circumstances.
If you know something,
you'd better start talking.
[Taiyo] He's telling me
to sell everyone out?
I don't know anything!
Well, hey, don't jump to conclusions.
Have some water,
and give it a good, long think.
[Taiyo] What? He just blatantly
poured something in there, right?
-Truth serum!
-[Hotokeyama] Hmm?
No, see, these are minerals
that are good for you
[Taiyo] What a half-assed lie!
-[muffled grunt]
-Just drink it like a good boy.
[coughing]
WATER CATCHER THROAT BALLOON
FOR MAGIC TRICKS AND DRINKING GAMES
I told you I don't know anything!
Is that right?
[grunts, pants]
[Taiyo gasps]
[Hotokeyama] That's a drug dealer who's
ruined the lives of thousands of people.
Making full use
of his cash and connections,
he'd been evading the law all this time
But I brought him to justice.
It's not my job as a lawman
to protect those who break the law.
[Taiyo grunts] Is this guy really a cop?
If you won't give it up, I'll have to ask
your friends at school in person.
[Taiyo] Damn this guy
I get it now!
I don't know anything,
but even if I did
I wouldn't give it up to a lunatic
like you if my life depended on it!
[Hotokeyama] I like that look
in your eyes.
How many blows until they glaze over?
Can't wait to find out.
Oh my. Any further
and my suit would've been a mess!
Aww The jig is up, huh?
[Kyoichiro] It is indeed.
"Ask your friends," when you're
digging for those friends' info?
Who does that?
You're as hopeless a liar as ever, Seiji.
Shut the hell up.
That was my way of giving him a hint.
Um An explanation, please?
[Kyoichiro] He was a classmate
of mine in junior high.
His name is Seiji Hotokeyama.
Get your hands off me.
You'll give me a rash.
In exchange for helping him
with his police investigations,
we have him cover up
the Yozakura family's activities.
Jeez. You're still
the same old piece of work.
First you ambush me.
Then you tell me that you're adding
your new kid brother to the mission.
-Isn't more manpower a good thing?
-I guess.
[Kyoichiro] And how did he do?
Let's see.
You didn't sell out your allies,
and you didn't fall for my taunts.
[chuckles dryly] You pass.
Looking forward to working with you.
R-Right.
Was that a smile?
Great! This is great!
Feel free to run him ragged!
Right. While you're here, I have
a big job for you in return for my help
Whoops, time for my next mission.
I'll be heading out now!
[Hotokeyama] H-Hey!
And you run along to school!
Can I give you a lift?
[Taiyo] No. I'll be fine.
[groans]
Taiyo, are you all right?
Yeah I'm fine.
What happened?
Uh, yeah Just a
[Kyoichiro] All right,
everyone, have a seat!
[boy] Huh? That's Vice-Principal Hirukawa.
[girl] What's he doing here?
Mr. Akutayama is taking the day off
to tend to some urgent business.
I'll be taking over
your Modern Japanese class today!
For real?
Wow!
What's the matter, Asano?
You don't look so good.
[chalk tapping]
[Taiyo] No good.
My eyelids are heavier
than dumbbells.
Maybe I'll take a really short nap.
[exhales]
[Kyoichiro] A spy must learn to control
even his own sleeping patterns.
[Taiyo] Is that Morse code?
[Kyoichiro] By putting one half
of their brains to sleep,
dolphins and migratory birds are able
to remain in a constant awakened state.
This skill can be attained
by humans as well,
so long as they train hard enough.
Fact: I myself graduated
from total sleep at 15.
That means you graduated
from being a human!
[Kyoichiro] I'll be using my threads
to analyze your heart rate,
and if I detect that you're sleeping
Your wake-up call will be
a piece of chalk at the speed of sound.
Right, that will kill me!
Can't believe he's training me
in the middle of class.
[Mutsumi] He's right!
You need to back off, Big Bro!
You just want to torment Taiyo, don't you?
[Taiyo] Mutsumi! We can talk like this?
[Mutsumi] Oh, yes. I've been
in a spy family for 17 years, after all.
[Kyoichiro] Really, Mutsumi!
Starting a conversation with me
in code during class!
You love your big bro too much!
You're so adorable,
I want to gobble you up!
Just kidding!
He's so ecstatic, it broke his brain!
[Mutsumi] You're beyond creepy.
Also, you're overworking Taiyo!
[Kyoichiro] You're just as cute
when you're angry, Mutsumi!
[Taiyo] Mutsumi? Thanks.
I'll be all right.
Just watch. I'm going to
ace this low-level training no problem!
[Kyoichiro] Hah! Wonder how many seconds
that bravado will last?
[Taiyo] Drowsiness? Fight it off!
You stop it right now, Big Bro!
[Mutsumi] Everyone's asleep!
I see you have your gas mask
on you at all times.
Good for you, Mutsumi!
[Mutsumi] I never dreamed
that I'd be using it against you, Big Bro!
[Kyoichiro] Nanao's special sleeping gas.
One whiff, and you're off to dreamland!
[Mutsumi gasps] Taiyo!
No, Taiyo! Wake up!
Impressive that he at least
kept himself from slumping over.
But it's over now!
[Mutsumi] Thank goodness
you were awake?
[gasps] He moved in his sleep!
[Kyoichiro chuckles]
Looks like he's reached
the half-awake state!
Just stop, will you? Are you trying
to turn Taiyo into a monster?
I'm doing this all for you
and for this guy.
Let's see you strive
to reach ever greater heights!
Taiyo Asano!
[Kyoichiro] Not bad for
your first awakening!
I'm going to shift into a higher gear!
[grunting]
[Mutsumi] Ugh. Taiyo's getting
less and less human
Apparently, that half-awake state
was a fluke,
and it hasn't happened again since, but
[screams]
[Mutsumi] He's sleepwalking
all over the place again.
[chuckles uneasily]
it's left Taiyo with an odd habit.
[twittering]
YOUR TARGET IS HER HEAR
[Taiyo] "Strategies for Dating,
Spy-style."
SPY
"A spy's job is intense."
"Are you so consumed by work that you're
just phoning it in with your partner?"
"Fact: In 90% of spy marriages
that end in divorce,
the cause is said to be
missed connections due to overwork."
[groans]
[Mutsumi] Here you go, Taiyo.
Have some tea!
[Taiyo sighs]
-Hey, Mutsumi
-Hmm?
If you're free today
[cell phone vibrates]
UNKNOWN NUMBER
SLIDE TO ANSWER
My bad.
Oh, sure.
Yes, hello?
[Hotokeyama] It's me. Mission time.
Mr. Hotokeyama?
[Hotokeyama] That's right.
I need you to get moving right away.
Oh, uh
[Hotokeyama] I've texted you the location.
I'll be in touch.
Huh? Hey, wait.
Is something wrong?
Sorry. It's an urgent mission.
I'll be going now!
Okay.
See you later!
TASHIMAEN
[kid 1] Wow!
[kid 2] I want a balloon!
[Hotokeyama] You're there now?
Yes. Uh, isn't this
[Hotokeyama] A male and female
with illicit guns
are lurking within that amusement park.
Smoke them out and apprehend them.
A couple? What do they look like?
[Hotokeyama] I'm looking into that.
Whatever you do, keep your eye on
anyone suspicious-looking.
Anyone suspicious-looking?
Mommy, is that man all alone?
[Taiyo] That would be me!
Ugh
[girl] Now, now, cheer up, will you?
Thanks.
Wait Mutsumi?
Oops, I came.
Oops, you came? How'd you find me?
-[Mutsumi] I asked Mr. Hotokeyama.
-Huh?
It would look more natural for you
to be in a place like this with me, right?
But it could be dangerous!
Hey, keep your voice down!
The couple in question
might be somewhere nearby.
If you ask me
I'd say that those couples
over there seem suspicious.
[Taiyo] T-True.
And at the very least,
I can defend myself.
And since you're here,
I should be fine, right?
[Taiyo] Well, it's not like
Mutsumi's the target.
Hey, this flavor's delicious!
Come on, Taiyo! You try it, too! Here.
[Mutsumi] Well?
It's good.
Right?
[Taiyo] Hold up.
This could be my chance
to show Mutsumi a good time, right?
[man] Oooh!
I love your outfit today, Mocchi!
Not that you don't look cute
no matter what you wear!
Oh, stop, Ken-Ken!
Love you!
-You're so sweet!
-[Taiyo] That's it!
-Mutsumi!
-Hmm?
[Taiyo] That outfit, it's great!
I I bet it's easy
to unleash high kicks in that!
What? Oh, yes.
It's easy to move around in.
You're just humoring me!
[Mutsumi] Looks like one couple's
heading towards the roller coaster.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
Roller Coaster
Let's go after them!
R-Right.
[bell ringing]
I'm so scared, Ken-Ken!
You'll be fine, Mocchi!
[people screaming]
[shouts] Ken-Ken!
[laughs] Mocchi!
[laughs hysterically]
[screaming, laughing]
Now, that wasn't scary at all,
was it, Mocchi?
[Mocchi] Nope! It was fun!
[Taiyo] S-Sorry, Mutsumi.
After all that hard-core training,
that felt like light swaying,
and I got really comfortable.
Hey, it's all right! Don't worry about it!
Anyway, Taiyo
[man] Sorry. The thing is,
I can't take those scream machines.
It's fine. Don't worry about it.
Here, drink this.
[both] Oh
[woman] S-Sorry!
[man] N-No, I'm sorry.
[Mutsumi] Looks like
they're just on a normal date.
Yeah. They just look scary, I guess.
That couple's next, right?
[Taiyo] Two more couples left.
We'll unmask them for sure!
Come on now, Mocchi!
Ohh! So fast!
H-How do you like it, Mutsumi?
[Mutsumi chuckles] I'm having so much fun!
Even though I can't see a thing!
Oops, sorry!
[man laughing]
There's no centrifugal force
that can keep us apart!
You're awesome!
[Taiyo] Good for you!
Wasn't that a blast?
Yeah! The best!
[both laughing]
[Taiyo] I did it again.
That couple seems
to be all lovey-dovey, too.
What's wrong? Are you dizzy?
No, I'm fine.
Hey! Taiyo!
Huh?
One last couple.
Let's go after them.
Here, Mocchi! A present for you.
Wow! I'm so thrilled! Thanks!
Where'd that couple go?
Let's search the other shops.
Okay.
ROSES
MAKE A GREAT GIFT!
[Mutsumi] They just seem to be having tea
like any other couple.
Looks like.
All right,
I'm going to go get us some drinks.
Okay.
[man] There's something
I'd like to show you.
[woman] What would that be?
[man] It's a special-order item, you see.
[Taiyo] A special-order item?
Don't tell me
[suspenseful music playing]
[man] A custom-made ring.
Would you be so kind as to marry me?
Understood.
[Taiyo gasps, thuds]
[sighs in exasperation]
I've been dragging Mutsumi around all day,
and I can't find the couple with the gun.
What the heck am I doing?
I want to do something that'll make
Mutsumi happy, even if it's just once.
[Mocchi] What the hell is your problem?
Staring at that woman all this time!
Huh? I wasn't looking at anyone!
Who are you to talk,
making eyes at that guy!
[Mocchi] That's a load of crap, you idiot!
[Ken-Ken] What did you say, ugly face?
[Taiyo] But they were so close
that it was obnoxious.
Damn, I've had enough of you.
Right back at ya, bastard!
Any blemish on my life
gets rubbed out instantly!
[Taiyo] Engraved! It's a custom-made gun!
I was a moron
for being with someone like you!
[Taiyo] Run!
[crowd panicking]
What? Hey! Taiyo!
[laughing maniacally]
Damn.
Cover your ears tight!
[Taiyo] Hey!
[both] What?
Take a hike, outsider!
[both screaming]
Take your lovers' spat somewhere else!
METROPOLITAN POLICE
[Mocchi] No way!
I didn't get to watch
the sunset with Ken-Ken yet!
[Mocchi] Ken-Ken! Ken-Ken!
Come on, give me a break!
It's just a little longer, you know!
[Ken-Ken] Tightwad!
Mocchi!
[Taiyo sighs]
For crying out loud. Can't tell
if those two are on good terms or bad.
[Taiyo chuckles]
Anyway, good job today.
I owe you one.
[chuckles] So that was a smile after all.
[Kyoichiro] H-H-He sent him
to an amusement park with Mutsumi?
[Kyoichiro screams]
-Mutsumi!
-[Shion] Hmm?
[Kyoichiro] Unforgivable!
-I'm hungry.
-[Kyoichiro] Unforgivable! Taiyo Asano!
[pleasant music playing]
Well, talk about a rough day, huh?
I-I guess so!
At least we got to
buy souvenirs for everyone
and take in all the attractions
after that went down!
Come to think of it, why did you
want to ride the Ferris wheel last?
Huh? Oh, uh
Because, see
couples who see the sunset
from this Ferris wheel get to
they get to live happily ever after.
S-So that's what this is about, huh?
[Taiyo] Listen, Mutsumi.
Here.
[gasps]
[Taiyo] It got like this in that shootout,
but the flower itself isn't too messed up,
and it would be a shame to toss it.
Today, I wanted to show you a good time
for once to thank you for all that you do.
But in the end,
I couldn't do anything for you.
Mutsumi?
Huh? Oh, uh
I never thought you were the type
to do this kind of thing, Taiyo,
so I was a little surprised
[Mutsumi clears throat]
I'm so happy. Thanks!
[Taiyo] No, thank you for everything.
