    The Kurain Village's sacred urn was stolen
[00:04] PW
    by Mask DeMasque, the phantom thief.
[00:07] PW
    Following the surrender of a man
    claiming to be Mask DeMasque,
[00:10] PW
    Ron DeLite, I felt
    something off about his claim,
[00:14] PW
    and I took up his case in court.
[00:16] PW
    In the trial, I proved that
    Ron didn't steal the urn
SIGN    AMI
[00:21] PW
    and unmasked Mask DeMasque.
[00:23] PW
    It was his rival,
    Ace Detective Luke Atmey.
[00:28] PW
    But then, things took a drastic turn...

[02:07] Maya
    We found the Kurain urn...
[02:09] PW
    ...but Ron was at the scene
    of a murder as it happened.
[02:13] Maya
    No way, Jose. I don't buy it.
[02:17] Pearl
    But it was Nick who proved
    that he was there.
[02:21] PW
    "Ron couldn't have stolen the urn,
[02:24] PW
    because he was somewhere
    else when it was stolen."
[02:28] PW
    That's all I wanted to prove.
[02:31] Maya
    Too bad that "somewhere else"
    was the scene of a murder.
[02:34] Maya
    Looks like you did too
    good of a job this time.
[02:37] PW
    What was I to do? I didn't know about that.
[02:40] Pearls
    How's Desirée taking this?
     I'm worried for her.
[02:46] PW
    Anyway, let's investigate
    the murder at KB Security.
[02:50] PW
    I find it hard to believe that
    Ron would murder anyone.
[02:55] PW
    I'll continue to defend him,
    for Desirée's sake as well.
[02:58] Maya
    Right.
SIGN    AMI
[02:59] Pearl
    We got the urn back in one piece,
    so it's time to refocus.
[03:02] Maya
    About that...
[03:05] Maya
    Did the urn always have these pink splotches?
[03:08] Maya
    And it's gone back to saying "AMI," too.
SIGN    AMI
[03:11] Maya
    It said "IAM" on the poster.
SIGN    IAM
[03:14] PW
    The truth is, one year ago,
[03:16] PW
    Pearls broke the urn by accident.
[03:20] PW
    She tried her best to put it back together,
[03:21] PW
    but crafts and spelling
    aren't her strong suits.
[03:24] Maya
    Do you think this could be a fake?
[03:28] PW
    F-Fake?
[03:29] Pearl
    I'll head back to the village and
    have Great Aunt look at it, then.
[03:34] Maya
    I'll go with you.
[03:36] Pearl
    Oh, no. You mustn't.
[03:40] Pearl
    I want you two to spend some quality
    time together, full of love like those two.
[03:45] PW
    Those two?
[03:47] Pearl
    I mean Ron and Desirée, of course.
[03:50] Pearl
    She stole the show and helped
    her imprisoned husband.
SIGN    AMI
[03:53] Pearl
    Ah, how dreamy!
[03:55] Pearl
    Now that is true love! I hope
    to be like them one day!
[03:58] PW
    Uh, someone's excited.
[04:00] Maya
    Sure is.
[04:01] Pearl
    Now, remember...
[04:02] Pearl
    No fighting, okay?
[04:07] PW
    Pearls seems to have the
    wrong idea about us, huh?
[04:11] Maya
    A bit.
[04:13] Maya
    There's a good reason for that.
[04:15] PW
    There is?
[04:16] Maya
    I'm sure I've told you before.
[04:18] Maya
    Only the women of our bloodline
    inherit the channeling powers.
[04:22] Maya
    So inevitably, we become the
    center of life in the village.
[04:27] Maya
    Maybe due to that, many married
    couples run into problems.
[04:31] Maya
    I guess they feel like outsiders, because all
    the men end up leaving the village...
[04:36] Maya
    When they have a daughter.
[04:38] PW
    Pearls's father, too?
[04:41] Maya
    She's grown up watching the
    star-crossed couples in the village,
[04:46] Maya
    so she's very sensitive to that.
[04:49] Maya
    Besides, in last year's
    incident, her mother...
[04:53] PW
    O-Oh...
[04:55] PW
    That's right.
[04:56] PW
    Pearls's mother, Morgan Fey,
[04:59] PW
    is currently rotting away in jail.
[05:01] Maya
    I'm the only family she has left.

    N-No!
[06:10] AA
    And blacked out in an instant.
[06:14] Maya
    Oh, you're right.
[06:15] Maya
    The paint matches perfectly.
[06:18] AA
    I tried my best to repair the urn.
[06:21] AA
    Fortunately, the shards were pretty big,
SIGN    AMI
[06:23] AA
    so just normally putting them
    back together worked out.
[06:28] AA
    After that, I realized how
    ugly the paint stains looked,
[06:31] AA
    so I hid them behind Mystic Ami's statue.
[06:35] PW
    That's not where the statue was
    when we first came here, though.
[06:41] AA
    Y-Yes, that's right.

    Why is it over there?
[06:48] AA
    Oh, no.
[06:49] Maya
    What? You mean someone moved it?
[06:53] PW
    If I'm right, the statue was only
    delivered here a day before the theft.
[06:57] PW
    Only the detective guarding the warehouse,
    Luke Atmey, could've moved it.
[07:03] PW
    The question is why he moved it.
[07:07] PW
    Could this be related to our case?
[07:11] AA
    Um, I'm truly sorry.
[07:14] Maya

    sitting moments before his death.
[07:47] Gum
    Today was a real train
    wreck for you guys, huh?
[07:53] Maya
    Sure was, pal. That prosecutor with the
    coffee made real fools out of us.
[07:59] Gum
    Yeah... I feel for you.
[08:01] Maya
    Wow, that's not like you.
    Usually, you'd be more like...
[08:05] Maya
    "Serves you right!
    You got what you deserved!"
[08:09] Maya
    Or something to that effect.
[08:10] Gum
    I can tell when someone puts
    their heart into their job.

    I had no idea you were such a nice guy.

    You mean that weird detective?

    Serves him right! He got what he deserved!
[08:37] Maya
    Now, that's the detective we know and love.
[08:40] PW
    It's kinda comforting.
[08:42] PW
    By the way, could you tell us about
    the victim who died last night?
[08:47] Gum
    Sure thing, pal.
[08:49] Gum
    Kane Bullard, the CEO of KB Security
    and a big fella in his own right.
[08:54] Gum
    His corpse was found at 9 this morning,

    but his estimated time of
    death is 1 AM on the 12th.
[09:00] Maya
    It really did happen at the same time
    that Mask DeMasque stole the urn, huh?
[09:05] PW
    Why did it take an entire
    day to discover the body?
[09:08] Gum
    Well, his body was stashed
    away inside that big safe.
[09:12] Gum
    Nobody had heard from him, and when
    they opened the safe this morning...
[09:16] PW
    ...out fell the body.
[09:21] Gum
    Looks like this guy was involved
    in some shady business.
[09:25] PW
    Shady business?
[09:26] Gum
    If a company hired his firm, they'd spy
    on their secrets and sell the information.
[09:32] Maya
    Wow, what a crook.
[09:34] Gum
    They were even in charge of security
    for a Mask DeMasque victim.
[09:37] Gum
    But they failed spectacularly
    and lost all their trust.

    I see...
[09:43] PW
    What are you doing?!
[09:45] Maya
    Why won't this safe open, Nick?
[09:48] PW
    Well, duh. It's a safe.
[09:51] Gum
    But somebody must've opened
    it on the night of the crime.
[09:54] Gum
    After all, the victim's
    body was hidden in there.
[09:57] Gum
    And apparently, Ron DeLite could open it.

    Was it the CEO that hit you?

    I thought I had to do

    Well, I got out of there!
[14:20] Ama
    Sure, I did hide the body in the safe,
[14:24] Ama
    but that's all I did, really!

    I surrendered because I was afraid

    But someone else is behind the thefts.
    Someone who planned it all out in detail.

    Then I just waited for the
    cash to come in the mail.

    That was your reward, huh?

    Is that why you went after
    the Kurain urn, too?

    All I do is follow instructions
    and steal what I'm told to steal.

    Ron, is everything you've
    just told us the truth?
[16:29] Ama
    Yes... But I'm done for now.
[16:32] Ama
    The one thing Dessie won't
    stand for is illegal activity.
[16:35] Ama
    A thief? She'd never forgive me.
[16:38] Maya
    Knowing that, why did you become a thief?
[16:40] Ama
    Because she spends money like it's water!
[16:44] Ama
    I love her, spending included,

    but there's no job that could
    bring in enough money...

    Except being a thief, I thought.

    I casually mentioned to her
    that I was Mask DeMasque,

    She didn't believe it at all, yeah.

[19:06] Des
    I can't stand people like that,
    so I gave them a piece of my mind.
[19:10] PW
    Y-You talked down to armed robbers?
[19:12] Des
    Yes, and they took me hostage.
    I was so frightened.
[19:17] Des
    But help arrived,
[19:19] Des
    in the form of Ronnie.
[19:22] Ama
    Stop... Stop that!
[19:25] Des
    Crying and swinging his arms like crazy,
     he attacked the two robbers.
[19:29] Des
    I realized right then and there
[19:32] Des
    that he's the kind of guy who has the
    courage to risk his life when it matters.
[19:38] Des
    Ronnie...

[19:56] Maya
    Oh!
[19:58] Maya
    So it really is our urn. Thanks, Pearly.
[20:02] PW
    Right. This urn was the start of everything.
[20:05] PW
    At 1 AM on the night it was stolen,
[20:08] PW
    Ron was at KB Security.
[20:12] PW
    Why was there another Mask DeMasque in
    the Lordly Tailor's basement warehouse?
[20:17] PW
    Why'd Detective Atmey show
    up there dressed that way?
[20:20] PW
    Why did Atmey pick that time
    to steal the urn?
[20:24] PW
    Also, why was the statue moved?
[20:28] PW
    There had to have been a reason.
[20:30] PW
    There are plenty more questions.
[20:32] PW
    Who attacked Ron in
    KB Security's CEO office?
[20:37] PW
    And that emergency buzzer...
[20:39] PW
    Why did the killer press that button?
[20:41] PW
    He should've known security would rush there.
[20:45] PW
    Wait, did he do it because 
    he knew security would come?
[20:48] PW
    I see! So that's how it is!
[20:59] Pearl
    Nick?
[21:00] Pearl
    You just figured something out, didn't you?
[21:03] PW
    Tomorrow's trial will be a battle of speed.
[21:05] Maya
    What? Let's take it easy like always.
[21:09] PW
    Sadly, that won't cut it tomorrow.
