A Couple of Cuckoos (2022) s01e19 Episode Script

1
Amano-san, remember what you said?
That there was someone you want to contact?
Tell me
Who is that person?
Do you really want to know?
Yeah.
I see.
You're too slow, dummy.
Are you sure about this, Nagi-kun?
Yes, already.
I'm prepared to hear it.
So please tell me.
Who are you trying to contact?
Maybe it was fated that this
would happen sooner or later.
All right.
First, take a look at this photo.
Why am I there?
I-Is this
Yeah.
It's a family photo from when I was little.
I was so shocked.
Which means
I'd met Amano-san before?
Moving?
Yeah.
Does that mean we won't
see each other anymore?
I see
But don't worry.
I'm sure we'll see each other
again when we're bigger.
We're engaged, after all.
Right
We'd met before.
We were connected by fate.
Obviously not!
How can you read my mind?!
Of course I can.
You had that face you always have when
you're letting loose with your fantasies.
Then who's this boy in the photo?!
Computer generated?
Photoshopped?
This clearly looks like me as a kid!
Well, yeah.
He's your brother, after all.
Amano Sosuke.
He's my brother and your sibling by blood.
Now do you see why I didn't want to tell you?
So what?
I see now.
That's why he looks like me.
Wait, you're supposed to be more surprised!
You have an older brother!
How am I supposed to accept that now?
My only sibling is Sachi.
Where does that confidence come from?
I see, though.
Seems like you aren't bothered by the fact
that you were raised by different parents.
Maybe you lack a human heart.
And you're forgetting to
filter what's in yours.
So, do my parents, the Uminos,
know about this?
I don't think they do.
We're pretending Onii-chan didn't exist.
Didn't exist?
I'm still waiting, though.
For him to find me.

Which is why, that day
The day my parents talked to
me about getting married
Unbelievable.
Who gets married off by their
parents in this day and age?!
They aren't going to listen to me
if I straight-up refuse, though.
How do I deal with this?
Wow, scary.
I'll legit die if I fall.
I'm sure they'll take me seriously
if I'm ready to get canceled.
Damn, I'm such a genius.
Onii-chan would be worried if he saw this.
Onii-chan
Why are you here?
The first time I met you, I was so shocked.
I thought Onii-chan had come back.
So that's why I'm posting photos of myself.
So he can find me.
He obviously won't see me, though.
What am I even doing?
So what now?
What do you mean?
There's no point in just waiting around.
What, should I make a
second account on Inusta?
Not like that.
We're going to find him.
Find him?
H-How?
I'm the second-smartest student in our grade.
Don't underestimate me.
What?
You said "second"!
It's the truth.
Thanks, though.
I was pretty sure you'd say that.
Let's really find him.
Yeah.
I'm home.
Umino Sachi has returned.
Sachi-chan!
Are you all better now? I was so worried!
Erika-chan, I'm sorry I
couldn't come with you.
Got any gifts for me?
Yup, lots.
Really?
That said
So then Erika-chan had a
bunch of suds in her hair.
Nagi, was your sister all good?
I was so worried, I kept DMing you.
How could you leave me on read?! That's cold!
Also, guess what happened to me after that!
Bruh, it was just me and two girls,
and I was like, "This is a harem!" But then
Something doesn't feel quite right.
Amano Sosuke.
He's my brother and your sibling by blood.
My brother
Nagi-kyun, you listening?
Come to think of it,
Today's Meals
100 delicious recipes
I always felt something was off
from the moment I met Amano-san.
Megurogawa!
You must be really smart, Nagi-kun!
I guess.
Guess what? You're going to be my boyfriend.
Amano-san's coming here?!
Where is she, anyway?
She's already over an hour late.
You're late.
Hey there.
I'm your doctor, Erika.
You just wanted to be a
pretend doctor, didn't you?
Oh, you could tell?
I thought she was just being chummy
with me because we're engaged.
But that wasn't it.
I was just a replacement for my brother.
I still think the pictures you
take end up being the best.
I've never seen anyone working so hard.
You impressed me, actually.
Go, Nagi-kun!
W-Wait—
I see now. I was pissed.
How much of a brother lover can you even be?
And after how much she
called me a sister lover
It's finally time.
Onii, is dinner ready yet?
I'm getting hungry.
The salad's ready.
You two figure out the rest.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to see Amano-san's father.
What?! Right now?!
Yeah.
I'm going to ask where
Amano-san's brother is
and why they're pretending he doesn't exist.
Your brother?
It's not going to work!
It's my father we're talking about.
He's not going to just tell you.
Okay, take care of the rest.
C-Come on, Nagi-kun!
Erika-chan, what does he mean by "brother"?
Well, you see
Boss, I've brought a guest.
Let him through.
Hey. I'm glad you're here.
I've been waiting for you, my only son.
Okay, I'm done studying, so I'm going home.
What? No!
Wait, Onii-chan!
It's your fault for being so slow.
Gotta go home and get back to
the game I was playing yesterday.
I wanna play, too!
Happy Math
Studying sucks.
You're late.
Onii-chan!
You took so long that
it's dinner time already.
You waited for me, Onii-chan?
I couldn't play my game because of you.
Although it wouldn't be
any fun playing by myself.
It's only fun when I'm making you lose.
So, yeah.
I totally get it.
He could have told me if he
was going to wait anyway.
Seriously.
Onii did that to me all the time, too.
I'm surprised, though.
I never knew you had an older brother.
Wait, doesn't that mean Onii
had an older brother all along?
Nagi-kun wasn't surprised at all, though.
Onii's a bit weird, after all.
Your brother doesn't sound quite like
how I imagined he would, though.
How you imagined him?
Yeah.
He grew up in a rich family,
so he's a loaded version of Onii, right?
I thought he'd be a better person.
Good girl.
I'll give you some money now.
Like that.
Your idea of rich people is a bit messed up!
He wasn't that great of a big brother.
He wouldn't fall for it when I pranked him.
And he'd stop talking to me just because
I ate ice cream without telling him.
Not just that.
He got super pissed at me just
because I deleted his game saves!
He never complimented me
when I changed my hairstyle,
he didn't notice when I bought new clothes,
he'd go out without telling me
He never cared for me, his sister, at all.
I see.
Wh-What?
Given how much of a princess you are,
the way you describe him
must mean he was a really good big brother.
Wh-What do you mean by that?
Exactly what I said.
Besides, I thought it was weird.
You were so quick to become my sister.
Well, yeah, that's just a fact.
I am your sister.
That's not what I mean.
You understood how I felt as a younger sister.
So that was why.
I-I guess so.
It is.
If that's true, maybe I had the same
feelings for him that you do for Nagi-kun.
I-I'm not sure about that.
Now you're pushing away!
I hope we find your brother soon.
I want to see him, too.
Yeah.
I hope Onii's all right, though.
Yeah.
Okay, look at this one next.
This is from when Erika was three years old.
She was so fussy back then.
She loved wearing this bear outfit.
Whenever we made her wear
anything else, look at her.
She'd be upset the whole day.
Oh, I guess she's still like that now.
This is when she was running around the yard.
She's a fast runner.
She's really athletic.
Doesn't like studying, though.
This is her refusing to eat her vegetables.
We had a hard time making her eat anything
besides Hamburg steak for a while.
Shall we look at her album
from when she was four next?
She's still adorable in these, too.
As I've been saying
What's this about us having a brother?
You don't.
Again, what do you mean by that?
Erika-san told me very clearly that
I have a blood-related older brother.
She lived with him when they were little.
I even saw a photo of him.
He looked just like me.
Where is he now? What does he do?
What do you want me to say?
I can't tell you about
someone who doesn't exist.
What do you expect me to say?
I want to know everything
about my family before I hear
about being swapped or engaged or anything.
Besides, if you're family, you must know that
Erika-san is looking for her brother, too.
Great.
Sounds like you're getting along
well with Erika. Good to hear.
I told you
By the way
Speaking of family, what do you
think of your sister, Sachi-chan?
That's not what I'm talking about right now.
Sachi-chan's a lovely young woman.
She looks just like Erika, too.
I guess that's what it means
to be blood relatives.
You've met Sachi?!
I just said hi to her.
She never told me anything about this.
You and Sachi-chan seem to be quite close.
You must have noticed by now.
Hey!
Hiro-chan!
Yes?
Let's play!
It's late, though.
Just for a bit.
Let's play with this.
Hey, Gordonia Family.
You know about it?!
Yeah.
I played with them a lot when I was little.
Wait
This little guy looks a lot like
Umino-kun, doesn't he?
Umino Nagi!
The number two man in our grade!
What's gotten into Hiro-chan?
Okay. Let's play.
Yay!
Well, then
There once was a bear
family and a bunny family.
In time, both families had adorable babies.
But when they were born, the two
babies were swapped at the hospital.
The unknowing parents loved their
children dearly and raised them well.
Then, one day, they realized
their children weren't their own.
But they each adored both their birth
child and the child they had raised.
Now, what shall we do?
Of course! They just need to marry each other!
And so the two became engaged.
What the heck?
I don't get it.
I don't get it, either.
Huh?
But
The bunny has a younger
sister, too, doesn't she?
Which means
This pairing could work, too.
Noticed?
Noticed what?
That marrying your sister, Sachi-chan,
could solve everything, too.
