Migi & Dali (2023) s01e07 Episode Script

It Wasn't a Ghost

1
There's no doubt about it now.
The person who killed Mom
is Eiji.
Ghost
But, how could this be?
Why would Eiji kill our mother?
That's the next thing we have to find out.
Right. We'll put the screws on him
No, I have an idea.
What is it?
Anyway,
I'll deal with Eiji's interrogation.
Migi, you focus on studying.
Got that?
I'm off.
Have a nice day.
-Hitori.
-We wish you the best.
Just you wait, Migi.
I promise to return with the truth
about Mom's death.
Not even Eiji can keep
his guard up around a girl.
Tell us.
What type of girl do you like?
I'm not one to flippantly
categorize girls that way.
Oh you, Eiji
Surely you have preferences?
Large chests, for instance.
Perhaps you fancy exposed napes
or blonde hair?
Unbelievable.
There's no time to ogle girls
when there's much studying to be done.
You can say that again.
Behave yourselves, boys!
Pardon me. I have to go over the papers
that will be handed out during homeroom.
-Eiji's just so
-Perfect
Crap, not again
Who on Earth was that?
Stop thinking about it.
Remain perfect as always.
No one must catch you acting strange.
No one.
Dearie me.
Today's lunch has turned to stew.
A foul stew.
-Who are you?
-Have a guess.
Don't you dare tell a soul what you saw.
You will be branded a criminal
who spies on the boys' toilet
and will never walk these halls again.
Go ahead. I'll make a run for it.
What is with that girl?
Hold up!
What are you after?
Is it money?
Trying to buy your way out, I see.
Listen up.
What I want to see is you
in an even more embarrassing state.
That's my price.
What does that mean?
Gosh, how embarrassing!
Is this you when you were five?!
What is there to be ashamed of?
Everyone was once a child.
Haven't you heard?
A five-year-old human brain is
nearly identical to that of a dog's.
That means you were
pretty much an animal in this photo!
I am no animal.
In any case, you must keep your end of
Oh no, this isn't good enough.
Show me more of your animal phase.
That was my favorite pair of pajamas.
They're certainly cute.
Why is the top missing a button
on the 25th?
I barely remember that day.
I see.
But that was the time
when I never questioned Santa's existence.
I admit that I may as well
have been an animal then.
At what age did you stop believing in him?
Santa never once visited.
Do you have photos of when you were five?
None.
Just so we're on the same page.
You're meant to be bribing me
for my silence.
Yes.
I know.
Enough with the photos.
Tell me more about your past.
But this isn't fair.
I'm telling you so much about myself.
Yet you haven't even told me your name.
This isn't fair. No.
Why am I thinking about fairness?
Huh? A long-haired girl with narrow eyes?
-You're looking at her!
-No, it's me!
Me!
I've looked all around the school
but there's no sign of her.
Is she not a student here?
Hitori.
The next class is at the science lab.
You should get going.
We will, Kodama. We'll go now.
That darn Dali.
He expects me to leave
Eiji's interrogation to him?
As always, he takes
the good parts for himself.
Hitori?
A bug?
She's back!
Sally came back!
Hold up, Migi. What's this about?
Look!
I found this by the school stairs.
Sally took one part.
That way, we'd always stay connected.
I dropped it What a blunder
Listen to me, Migi. Sally is not here.
She moved to a faraway town.
But
Do I make myself clear? Migi.
Despite what Dali insisted,
Sally must surely
be somewhere in this school.
Hitori. What are these?
LOOKING FOR THIS PERSON
You're searching for someone?
My goddess, Sally.
Who is she?
Don't bother me! Leave me alone!
This is Sally? Migi's such an artist.
I doubt I have to worry
about Migi finding me.
HITORI SONOYAMA
Why hasn't anyone reported a thing?
Hey, Akiyama. What are you doing?
I'm parsing the doodles in your notebook.
No one asked you to.
I like creating a montage of birds
based on their fossilized parts.
Your art is too avant-garde
for the average person.
But I can tell there's a defined set
of characteristics in your doodles.
This is me and this is Eiji.
DEATH, EIJI, AKIYAMA
They're distinctly different.
And here,
we have our class teacher, Kodama.
Her hair is drawn like Sally's.
Our teacher has straight, black hair,
which means she does as well.
Her eyes are similar to yours.
By taking these factors into account
and reconstructing them
LOOKING FOR THIS PERSON
IF SEEN, REPORT TO HITORI SONOYAMA, 1-5
That is pretty good.
What? This cutie is missing?
Long, black hair and a cat-like gaze.
Wait, isn't this
The girl Eiji's searching for?
Don't follow me!
Oh, sorry.
Don't get the wrong idea.
It's not that you're a pest.
I'm only keeping you out of danger.
You're an important assistant to me.
Sorry, I was running late.
Oh, no worries.
Let's hear it then.
About that Christmas when you were five.
Oh, yes.
That Christmas
I was eager to
have the turkey on the table
I can't believe this.
I'm carrying unnecessary
feelings towards this woman
Sally!
Mi
Hitori! Why are you here?!
Come on. It's not safe here.
Stop. We're not finished.
Get your dirty hand off Sally.
Your face is in the dictionary
entry for diseased rats.
Sally. This guy's a brute.
Let's return to our Garden of Eden.
Are you
in love with Hitori?
I'm courting Eiji.
Huh?
Come in.
Pardon my intrusion.
My, what a lovely home.
Where are your parents?
They are unfortunately away today.
You don't say.
Wait for me, Migi.
Today's the day Eiji's past
comes to light.
I'll put him under
something called regression hypnosis.
I practiced hard for this
Your arms and legs are getting heavier.
Your tummy is also getting heavier.
Sally I'm Hitori Anoyama
The stage is set.
I need Eiji to lie down
so that he's easier to hypnotize.
My Sally
Fret not. There are as many girls
as there are stars in the sky.
There's only one Sally!
Right now she's
Eiji. May I visit your home this Sunday?
KIDS CHAMPAGNE
Hitori. It's times like these
where you drink your heart out and forget!
Like hell I'll forget!
A toast to Hitori's broken heart.
Sally!
Eiji, I'm sleepy.
It has only been 15 minutes
since we started.
I invited you here
because you asked me to help you study.
How about an afternoon nap?
A siesta, you say?
I suppose a 10-minute respite
would improve efficiency.
I'll show you to the guest room.
How about we have our nap here, together?
What are you, a samurai?
I don't require naps.
I shall instead keep track of the time.
So, you're a damn timekeeper?
You know, I The thing is.
I can't fall asleep
without someone lying by my side.
Huh?
I can't fall asleep
Who sleeps like this?!
The hell is this?
I feel like I've joined a cult.
Do you need another?
This cult is no longer accepting members.
I'd rather not resort to this
but I have no choice
Eiji.
Wha?!
I suddenly feel
so hot and bothered.
This is improper!
Outrageous! Sordid! Vulgar!
Also I expected better from you!
We have yet to be
formally contracted as lovers.
Contract? There are papers to sign?
No. What I mean is
We haven't had un baiser.
Baiser? Will you sleep
by my side if we did that?
I suppose it complies
with standard procedure.
Then let's baiser.
-Are you sure?
-Yes.
Baisers, gauzes, Moses, whatever.
It's probably no big deal
Does baiser mean kissing?
Nope. Nope, nope, nope!
He's Eiji!
No, I have to do it.
Don't run.
This is for our cause
Nope, can't do it!
I'm courting Eiji.
Mi gi
Wait for me, Migi.
I'll be home with the truth.
Hitori. This is just between you and me.
Mommy turned me down many times.
She was incredibly popular then.
Even so, we're here today because
I was relentlessly on the offensive.
Mommy probably
doesn't remember this anymore.
Little by little
Your arms and legs are getting heavier
What are you singing?
A lullaby from a distant land.
Your tummy is also getting heavier
I see. That sounds like
a fun Christmas dinner.
What happened next?
I brushed my teeth, tooth by tooth.
I didn't forget my molars
It won't be long now. Almost there.
Eiji killed Mom sometime between
Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
Eiji?
I have to sleep
I have to be a good boy
or else Santa won't
He actually fell asleep?
This isn't right.
We'll go nowhere if he sleeps
Migi?! Why is he here?
-Sally.
-Hitori.
I'm currently occupied.
Could you please leave swiftly?
Well, it's just, I
I love you so much.
I couldn't give you up.
Won't you please accept this again?
Hitori. How many times must?
Oh crap, he woke up?!
Eiji?
Get lost. I wasn't talking to
Sally!
The pendant! The dolphin pendant!
You idiot!
Get your priorities straight!
What was that for?
wasn't
-How could you? Did you want him dead?!
-That wasn't
That That wasn't
Huh?
That wasn't a ghost
What do you mean?
There's no doubt about it. I felt it
How have I forgotten this whole time
Calm down. What happened?
It was late at night on Christmas Eve,
when I was five.
Santa?
Mother! Quick, over here!
-There's nothing there.
-There was!
Eiji.
There is no long-haired,
blonde woman in Origon Village.
What you saw was a ghost.
Understood?
A ghost.
Ghost
I'm scared. Can I sleep with you?
Of course.
Migi!
I've got it.
That was how Eiji
took Mom from us.
We have the evidence. It's time!
Migi. Time for revenge.
Migi. Time for revenge.
Migi?
I'm done interrogating.
Eiji really did
I won't forgive you.
