[01:36] Narrator
    Long, long ago...
[01:38] Narrator
    In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
    it could very well seem like tomorrow...
[01:43] Narrator
    In a universe over there, in an Earth
    over there, in a city over there,
[01:47] Narrator
    there lived a girl.
[01:50] Narrator
    She looked like a completely normal
    girl of the kind you'd find anywhere.
[01:54] Narrator
    The one difference was...
[01:56] Narrator
    The girl could use magic to
    transform into a grown-up!
[02:00] Narrator
    They called her Minky Momo.
SIGN    Pursue Phantom Thief Marzipan!
[02:06] Momo
    "Pursue Phantom Thief Marzipan!"
[02:47] Mayor
    Thank you all for coming
    to celebrate my birthday
[02:53] Mayor
    in such grand fashion!
[02:57] Mama
    The mayor's party is just grand, isn't it?
[03:00] Momo
    Yeah, and what a feast!
SIGN    I almost feel out of place...
[03:06] Wife
    Now, sent from the Certayne Royal
    Family in the Middle-east,
[03:12] Wife
    I'd like to show you all the Angel Vase!
[03:15] Wife
    Bring it now!
[03:17] Papa
    I came here to see the Angel Vase!
[03:20] Momo
    What's the Angel Vase?
[03:22] Papa
    Yes, it's a relic of the
    Candle-Euphrates Civilization!
[03:26] Papa
    Their queen sent it to the mayor's
    wife as a token of their friendship!
[03:32] Momo
    Wow. A token of friendship, huh?
[03:35] Wife
    What's taking so long? Bring the vase!
[03:37] Maid
    I'm so sorry, my lady!
[03:40] Maid
    The vase is gone!
[03:42] Wife
    What?!
[03:49] Wife
    Wh-What is the meaning of this?!
[03:59] Momo
    Eh? What's this?
[04:02] Momo
    Let's see...
[04:03] Momo
    "I've taken the Angel Vase.
    Phantom Thief Marzipan."
[04:06] Momo
    What in the world?
[04:08] Wife
    Let me see that!
[04:11] Wife
    Oh, this is terrible!
[04:13] Wife
    Call the police at once!
[04:15] Mayor
    Now, now! No need to make
    such a big deal out of it...
[04:19] Wife
    How can you say that, dear?
[04:21] Wife
    That vase had my precious—
[04:24] Wife
    E-Either way, that vase
    is very important to me!
[04:27] Wife
    We must find it before the day is out!
[04:30] Wife
    But—
[04:31] Wife
    No buts! That vase contains my—
[04:38] Wife
    Call the police at once!
[04:41] Mama
    No need to call the police.
[04:44] Mama
    After more than a decade of
    writing detective novels,
[04:49] Mama
    I will solve this case!
[04:52] Des
    No need for that.
[04:55] Des
    I'll solve this case myself.
[04:57] Des
    An amateur detective like you sniffing
    around would just be a distraction.
[05:02] Mama
    Oh?
[05:03] Papa
    Who are you, then?
[05:05] Des
    Me?
[05:07] Des
    Inspector Destrade of the Western Police!
[05:10] Des
    Police?
[05:11] Des
    Inspector?
[05:13] Des
    Mr. Mayor, isn't it lucky
    that you invited me here?
[05:17] Mayor
    Er... well,
[05:19] Mayor
    I certainly didn't expect this to happen
    when I sent out the invitations...
[05:23] Mayor
    If I'd known, I wouldn't have...
[05:25] Des
    What's that?
[05:26] Mayor
    Oh, nothing!
[05:28] Des
    Now, everyone not involved in this
    case, please leave right away!
[05:36] Des
    Go on. You two, get out as well!
[05:39] Mama
    Oh, no! We're staying!
[05:42] Papa
    Dear...
[05:43] Momo
    I'll stay too, then!
[05:45] Des
    Do as you like.
[05:49] Des
    All right, then, ma'am.
[05:51] Des
    When was the last time you
    saw the Angel Vase here?
[05:53] Mayor
    It wasn't supposed to be like this!
[05:59] Mayor
    All right. So the Angel Vase was
    definitely in this room last night?
[06:03] Wife
    Yes, I personally put the—
[06:06] Wife
    I mean, I saw it with my own eyes!
[06:10] Wife
    Please, you must recover the
    Angel Vase before the day is out!
[06:15] Maid
    Excuse me!
[06:16] Maid
    I think I saw the thief!
[06:19] Des
    What was that?!
[06:20] Maid
    The truth is...
[06:22] Maid
    I got up early this morning and
    opened the curtains in my room...
[06:26] Maid
    I saw a suspicious figure
    running through the backyard!
[06:34] Des
    That does sound like the culprit!
[06:36] Des
    Well? What happened then?
[06:40] Maid
    Well... I'd only just woken
    up, so I wasn't at my best...
[06:46] Des
    The culprit must have gone out
    the back gate into the city.
[06:50] Des
    All right, let's get investigating!
[06:54] Mama
    Let's get started too!
[06:57] Papa
    R-Right...
[06:58] Mama
    We're leaving, Momo!
[07:00] Momo
    Right!
[07:29] Mama
    We walked all around town and
    didn't find a single lead.
[07:34] Mama
    What do we do now?
[07:37] Papa
    We've only just started investigating!
    Don't get too depressed.
SIGN    Your mother seems pretty down about this...
[07:45] Chamo
    If she can't solve the case,
[07:47] Chamo
    it might smash her pride into
    bits and pieces and shards!
[07:52] Lupi
    But we don't have any leads at all!
[07:58] Momo
    Okay, time to really help
    with the investigation!
[08:04] Lupi
    But what are you going to do?!
[08:07] Momo
    Just you watch, watch, watch!
[08:12] Momo
    Parariru Parariru Doririnpa!
[08:15] Momo
    Tiaran Tianan Maririnpa!
[08:18] Momo
    Become a police detective with a Minky touch!
[08:47] Momo
    And that's how we investigate
    fair and square.
[08:50] Chamo
    I see!
[08:51] Lupi
    That's our Momo!
SIGN    You think it'll be that easy?
[08:54] Momo
    When you meet a challenge,
    you should take it!
[08:57] Lupi
    That's all well and good, but
    where are you going to go?
[09:00] Momo
    The key to an investigation
    is the scene of the crime.
[09:03] Momo
    We'll start there!
[09:05] Momo
    Let's go, animal friends!
[09:06] All
    Yeah!
[09:09] Papa
    I know! Let's grab a nice meal somewhere!
[09:13] Papa
    We'll feel better with
    some food in our bellies.
[09:16] Papa
    Right, Momo?
[09:17] Papa
    Eh?
[09:20] Papa
    Momo?
[09:27] Des
    Oh, no! I feel like a fool!
[09:30] Des
    I can't find a single clue!
[09:34] Des
    Eh? A suspicious figure running
    around town at this hour...
[09:42] Mayor
    What? An international police
    detective came all the way out here?
[09:47] Momo
    That's right?
[09:49] Mayor
    And those three animals...
[09:51] Momo
    Th-The three animals are a
    police dog, a police bird...
[09:55] Momo
    and a police monkey.
[10:00] Momo
    Anyway, they're my precious assistants!
[10:04] Mayor
    I see!
[10:05] Mayor
    Modern police are quite clever, aren't they?
[10:09] Mayor
    But they do look a bit familiar...
[10:12] Momo
    I'm sure it's just your imagination!
[10:14] Des
    Hold it right there!
[10:16] Des
    I haven't heard about a police
    detective coming here.
[10:18] Des
    If you're a police detective, show your ID!
[10:22] Momo
    ID?
[10:25] Des
    I knew it. You're a fake!
[10:27] Momo
    N-Not good.
[10:28] Des
    I think you're Phantom Thief Marzipan!
[10:32] Mayor
    Oh, no...
[10:33] Mayor
    She can't be Marzipan!
[10:35] Momo
    What's that?
[10:36] Mayor
    Oh, nothing!
[10:38] Des
    Quit jabbering on!
[10:40] Des
    Everyone knows the culprit always
    returns to the scene of the crime!
[10:44] Des
    I've been waiting for you to
    show yourself all this time.
[10:49] Des
    You're under arrest!
[10:50] Momo
    Stop it! You got it all wrong!
[10:52] Momo
    You got it wrong!
[10:53] Chamo
    Not good!
[10:54] Chamo
    Momo!
[10:56] Chamo
    That hurts! That hurts!
SIGN    Momo, we'd better make tracks!
[11:05] Momo
    Yeah, make tracks!
[11:08] Momo
    Excuse me!
[11:09] Des
    You're not getting away!
[11:13] Mayor
    Thank goodness.
[11:15] Mayor
    Thank goodness she wasn't really
    from the international police!
[11:18] Wife
    Dear!
[11:20] Wife
    What was all that noise?
[11:22] Mayor
    Oh, nothing!
[11:31] King
    It's a mystery! A case!
[11:33] King
    Let's call in a hard-boiled detective!
[11:36] Queen
    But who in the world stole the Angel's Vase?
[11:40] King
    Who else?
[11:41] King
    It was Phantom Thief Marzipan!
[11:43] Queen
    You think so?
[11:45] Queen
    I feel like it can't be quite that simple...
[11:49] King
    That is quite a case!

SIGN    He's so persistent!
[12:08] Des
    Get back here, you!
[12:10] Des
    Get back here!
[12:18] Des
    Eh?
[12:22] Des
    Hang on... those animals look familiar.
[12:26] Des
    Never mind. For now, I must pursue Marzipan!
[12:37] Momo
    That was close!
[12:38] Chamo
    But the police detective plan was a big flop!
[12:41] Momo
    Yeah. I've learned my lesson.
[12:44] Momo
    So, what next?!
SIGN    I thought the mayor acted very suspiciously when you said
SIGN    you were from the international police!
[12:52] Chamo
    He did!
[12:53] Chamo
    He's kinda been acting weird this whole time!
[12:56] Lupi
    His wife has, too!
[12:59] Lupi
    She starts to say one
    thing, then stops herself!
SIGN    It feels like they're both hiding something!
[13:06] Momo
    Okay! We investigate that next, then!
[13:09] Momo
    How?
[13:11] Momo
    Like this!
[13:14] Momo
    Become a phantom thief with a Minky touch!
[13:25] Momo
    Well, my friends?!
[13:27] Lupi
    Wait, are you gonna sneak
    into the mayor's house?!
[13:30] Momo
    Of course I am!
[13:31] Momo
    Now, let us away!
[13:33] Trio
    W-Wait for us!
[13:38] King
    That's bad! Momo's become a thief!
[13:41] Queen
    Now, now. Calm down, darling.
[13:43] Queen
    She hasn't stolen anything yet.
[13:46] Queen
    But I do worry... Stealing is the
    gateway to lying, as they say.
[13:51] King
    Did you get that backwards?
[13:53] Queen
    It's true either way.
[14:00] Momo
    A phantom thief really should be beautiful!
[14:02] Chamo
    But surely we don't need to run across roofs!
SIGN    Yeah!
[14:10] Mama
    Momo and the animals went missing.
[14:13] Mama
    I still can't find Phantom Thief Marzipan...
[14:19] Mama
    Could that be Phantom Thief Marzipan?!
[14:22] Mama
    I finally found you!
[14:26] Papa
    Dear!
[14:27] Papa
    Are you all right?
[14:28] Des
    Excuse me. I'm sorry about that...
[14:45] Momo
    Hey, is that...
[14:51] Chamo
    It's the mayor!
[14:53] Lupi
    What's he up to?
[15:27] Momo
    Mind telling me what you're up to?
[15:30] Momo
    Wh-Who are you?!
[15:32] Momo
    I am Phantom Thief...
[15:33] Momo
    er... Peachpie!
[15:36] Mayor
    Phantom Thief Peachpie?!
[15:38] Momo
    If my eyes do not deceive me, that
    appears to be the stolen vase!
[15:43] Mayor
    Oh, dear! This is just...
[15:45] Momo
    Mr. Mayor... You're the real Phantom
    Thief Marzipan, aren't you?!
[15:52] Momo
    Go on, tell me the story.
[15:54] Momo
    Why make up a phantom thief
    and cause all this trouble?
[15:58] Momo
    Tell me, or I'll turn you in!
[16:03] Mayor
    Very well. I'll talk.
[16:10] Momo
    Oh, the vase is cracked!
[16:12] Mayor
    That's right. I cracked
    it in my carelessness!
[16:18] Mayor
    I woke up early this morning and
    was practicing my golf swing...
[16:25] Mayor
    when suddenly...
[16:30] Mayor
    I was forced to hide the vase
    in the storage room out back.
[16:38] Mayor
    I knew that if my wife learned I'd broken
    the Angel Vase, she'd really make me pay.
[16:45] Momo
    She is a little scary, huh?
[16:47] Mayor
    No, she was a kind woman
    when we were first married!
[16:52] Mayor
    That was all over twenty years ago...
[16:57] Mayor
    We went on our honeymoon and saw a
    pair of cufflinks I really liked...
[17:04] Mayor
    But at the time, I was just
    an aspiring reporter,
[17:08] Mayor
    and I certainly couldn't afford them.
[17:12] (Flashback) Wife
    Here, darling.
[17:14] (Flashback) Wife
    I begged the salesperson and
    they let me have just one!
[17:18] Mayor
    She spent all her savings to buy it for me!
[17:25] Mayor
    This is that cufflink!
[17:28] Momo
    It's beautiful!
[17:30] Mayor
    But nowadays...
[17:33] Mayor
    Today's my birthday, but she didn't
    even wish me a happy birthday!
[17:38] Mayor
    She just went on and on about her vase!
[17:40] Mayor
    I suppose age really does change a woman...
[17:46] Momo
    I don't fully get it, but
    I feel kind of bad for him.
SIGN    But your mother and the inspector are still searching for Phantom Thief Marzipan!
SIGN    We've got to clear things up.
[18:00] Momo
    Okay, let's get it done!
[18:05] Des
    You're sure Phantom Thief
    Marzipan came this way?
[18:08] Mama
    Great Detective Mama's
    deductions are never wrong!
[18:11] Des
    That's just your gut feeling, right?
[18:12] Mama
    It's deductions! Deductions!
[18:16] Mama
    That's...
[18:19] Momo
    I have the Angel's Vase!
[18:21] Momo
    If you want it back, come and get it from me!
[18:26] Mama
    You won't get away!
[18:27] Des
    I've got you this time!
[18:31] Papa
    Where do they get all that energy?
[18:41] Papa
    Wait, you!
[18:46] Mayor
    I've got you now, Phantom Thief Marzipan!
[18:50] Momo
    I know we rehearsed this, but...
[18:51] Lupi
    His acting's kind of lousy.
[18:53] Chamo
    Yeah.
[18:54] Mayor
    Phantom Thief Marzipan! You won't escape!
[18:57] Wife
    Please return the Angel's Vase!
[19:00] Momo
    Just how we rehearsed it, right?
[19:02] Momo
    Ah, you force my hand!
[19:06] Momo
    Take that!
[19:10] Des
    This is horrible!
[19:18] Mama
    Oh, no!
[19:19] Des
    She got away!
[19:23] Des
    Now they'll all think Phantom Thief
    Marzipan broke the Angel's Vase.
SIGN    Makes sense!
SIGN    Smart thinking, Momo!
[19:31] Momo
    It wasn't that great... was it?
[19:34] Wife
    Oh, what will I do?
[19:37] Mayor
    Let's offer our apologies to the
    queen who sent us the Angel Vase.
[19:43] Mayor
    All right?
[19:44] Wife
    There it is!
[19:47] Wife
    Here, darling.
[19:48] Wife
    Ma'am, is that...
[19:52] Mayor
    Th-This is...
[19:54] Mayor
    The other cufflink!
[19:56] Mayor
    You remembered?
[19:59] Wife
    I searched for so long and finally found it!
[20:04] Wife
    I wanted to surprise you.
[20:07] Wife
    So last night, I hid it in
    the Angel's Vase, but...
[20:17] Mayor
    I see! So that's what it was about!
[20:19] Mayor
    Oh, thank you...
[20:21] Mayor
    But the Angel's Vase...
[20:26] Wife
    I'm sure it's my punishment for
    being so hard on you all the time.
[20:30] Wife
    Phantom Thief Marzipan came
    to tell me that, I'm sure.
[20:36] Wife
    Darling, I know I'm not much,
[20:39] Wife
    but can we get along like
    we did so long ago?
[20:42] Mayor
    I-I'm the one who should apologize.
[20:45] Wife
    Happy birthday, darling!
[20:50] Des
    What in the world is going on?
[20:52] Papa
    Dear!
[20:54] Papa
    Are you all right, dear?
[20:56] Papa
    And what happened to Phantom Thief Marzipan?
[20:58] Mama
    It all worked out.
[21:01] Mama
    No phantom thief could ever steal their love!
[21:14] King
    La-dee-da!
[21:14] King
    Celebrate, contemplate, that
    vase is in a broken state!
[21:18] King
    Those peas in a pod will
    soy-tainly find a happy ending!
[21:21] King
    I'm so glad!
[21:22] Queen
    Darling?
[21:23] King
    You called, dear?
[21:25] Queen
    About the birthday present I gave
    you the year we were married...
[21:30] Queen
    I was wondering if you still have it.
[21:34] King
    Oh, my stomach is killing me!
[21:36] King
    Oh, I'm dizzy! I have to go now!
[21:40] Queen
    Oh, dear...
[21:51] Mama
    Hey, dear.
[21:53] Mama
    Do you remember me giving you a fountain pen
[21:56] Mama
    for your birthday before we were married?
[21:58] Mama
    You said you'd write me until
    it wore down to a nib...
[22:03] Mama
    Do you remember that?
[22:04] Papa
    Oh... I'm not entirely sure... perhaps...
[22:09] Papa
    Oh, but of course I still have it!
[22:12] Mama
    Really?
[22:13] Papa
    Don't say that, dear!
[22:15] Papa
    Of course I still have it,
    of course... somewhere...
SIGN    He totally lost it.
[22:22] Chamo
    Totally.
[22:23] Lupi
    Yeah. Men are hopeless, aren't they?
[22:26] Momo
    Always treasure the gifts you're given, okay?
