[00:00] ---
    Migi. The time has come.
[00:03] ---
    Finally, we will
    search through the Ichijo house.
[00:07] ---
    Listen, Migi.
[00:08] ---
    You buy us time
    by spending some with them.
[00:11] ---
    Meanwhile, I'll check
    all wallpapers in their home.
[00:14] ---
    They don't know that there's two of us.
[00:18] ---
    Don't let down your guard, Migi.
[00:20] ---
    I know that, Dali.
[00:22] ---
    Let's proceed as cautiously as always.
[00:25] ---
    Just like always.
[00:33] ---
    Mother.
[00:40] ---
    Hitori Sonoyama.
[00:44] ---
    Something unusual.
[02:20] ---
    We are very grateful to have been invited
[02:23] ---
    to your home tonight.
[02:25] ---
    The pleasure is all ours.
[02:27] ---
    It's an honor to host the amazing Hitori.
[02:31] ---
    Yoo...
[02:33] ---
    ...hoo.
[02:36] ---
    Let's make a toast to
[02:38] ---
    Hitori being number one
    in the average class midterms.
[02:42] ---
    Cheers.
[02:45] ---
    Not here.
[02:47] ---
    Not here.
[02:49] ---
    This is wrong.
[02:54] ---
    Damnit. It's like an ant hill.
[02:57] ---
    Where are you,
[02:58] ---
    water flea room?
[03:00] ---
    What education are you giving Hitori?
[03:04] ---
    Ah, no.
[03:05] ---
    We haven't done anything.
[03:08] ---
    Mom taught me how to bake a pie.
[03:11] ---
    Oh.
[03:12] ---
    Maybe the Ichijos are innocent.
[03:14] ---
    But something still feels off.
[03:18] ---
    Baking a pie?
[03:20] ---
    How wonderful. Maybe I should learn too.
[03:23] ---
    It would be my pleasure.
[03:25] ---
    One could bake
    a splendid pie with an oven like yours.
[03:29] ---
    How big could it be?
[03:31] ---
    As big as a Wanyudo, probably.
[03:33] ---
    Oh, Dear.
[03:35] ---
    That's an ancient reference.
[03:38] ---
    Pardon me.
[03:39] ---
    It reeks. It's definitely fishy.
[03:41] ---
    Then maybe as big as a UFO?
[03:43] ---
    A flying saucer!
[03:44] ---
    This dinnerparty.
[03:47] ---
    It's really seems like
[03:49] ---
    the Sonoyama family is truly joyful.
[03:53] ---
    You're far too kind.
[03:56] ---
    All I can do is bake cherry pies.
[04:00] ---
    Of course that's the kind of setting
[04:03] ---
    where Hitori would
[04:04] ---
    engage in misconduct.
[04:13] ---
    Eiji.
[04:15] ---
    Yes, Mom.
[04:19] ---
    Hitori.
[04:23] ---
    Do you recognize this?
[04:30] ---
    Mother's keepsake.
[04:35] ---
    Hold up your hands.
[04:37] ---
    Huh?
[04:40] ---
    Migi, don't.
[04:43] ---
    Why did you check your neck?
[04:46] ---
    That's... I...
[04:48] ---
    You are wearing it right now, are you not?
[04:52] ---
    The button that you stole.
[04:56] ---
    W- Wait a minute.
[04:58] ---
    Hitori would never steal anything.
[05:01] ---
    Why would he snatch the buttons
[05:04] ---
    of his friend's jammies?
[05:06] ---
    I would like to know too.
[05:08] ---
    I would like to clear things up,
[05:10] ---
    because I trust him.
[05:12] ---
    Oh.
[05:14] ---
    Take off your clothes, Hitori.
[05:24] ---
    Hitori.
[05:28] ---
    Dali!
[05:33] ---
    That's so mean, Eiji.
[05:35] ---
    Are you suspecting your friend?
[05:37] ---
    I just told you.
[05:39] ---
    I want to trust you.
[05:42] ---
    Yet you want me to strip?
[05:44] ---
    Yes.
[05:46] ---
    But...
[05:48] ---
    What is it?
[05:51] ---
    Uhm,
[05:53] ---
    how do I put it,
[05:55] ---
    you know?
[05:58] ---
    Well done, keep going, Migi.
[06:01] ---
    Taking my clothes off
    in front of everyone is
[06:04] ---
    is a little embarrassing.
[06:10] ---
    Quit messing around.
[06:16] ---
    Come on.
[06:20] ---
    -Take it off.
    -Wait!
[06:32] ---
    See? I didn't take it.
[06:35] ---
    And the pockets?
[06:36] ---
    You can check.
[06:37] ---
    Do you want to check inside my undies?
[06:42] ---
    Oh.
[06:46] ---
    Hitori.
[06:47] ---
    I think it's time to go home.
[06:52] ---
    Eiji, maybe check
    inside your washing machine.
[06:58] ---
    Oh.
[07:08] ---
    Fidélité.
[07:11] ---
    Do you got it?
[07:13] ---
    Search for something
    with this same smell.
[07:19] ---
    I cannot believe they keep a beast.
[07:22] ---
    I need to throw the button far away,
[07:25] ---
    then flee when they are not looking.
[07:35] ---
    Fidélité, did you find it?
[07:38] ---
    Oh no.
[07:39] ---
    If they look under the table right now,
[07:43] ---
    they'll find out that
[07:47] ---
    there's two of us.
[07:55] ---
    I'm sorry!
[07:56] ---
    I took it!
[08:03] ---
    Migi?
[08:05] ---
    Hitori, you would never do that...
[08:08] ---
    Never.
[08:10] ---
    When did you manage to take it?
[08:13] ---
    He was with us the whole time.
[08:16] ---
    When I went to the restroom,
[08:18] ---
    the pajama was in there.
[08:20] ---
    Migi?
[08:24] ---
    I just thought the button was so gorgeous.
[08:31] ---
    Hitori's mother and father,
[08:34] ---
    what do you teach your child?
[08:38] ---
    He's just a child.
[08:40] ---
    He meant no harm. Please forgive him.
[08:44] ---
    What would happen if
    the orphanage were to find out about this?
[08:48] ---
    Maybe
[08:50] ---
    you would never see Hitori ever again.
[08:55] ---
    Let me make a suggestion.
[08:58] ---
    Until Hitori has been
    steered back onto the right path,
[09:01] ---
    let us take care of him in this house.
[09:38] ---
    Hitori.
[09:40] ---
    It's dinnertime.
[09:50] ---
    I'm not an animal.
[09:52] ---
    Just spit it out already.
[09:57] ---
    Why do you have the button
[10:00] ---
    that I lost eight years ago?
[10:01] ---
    I told you already.
[10:03] ---
    I found it on the bathroom floor.
[10:06] ---
    Do not lie.
[10:07] ---
    I've been looking for this forever.
[10:11] ---
    I searched all over the house.
[10:13] ---
    No way it was just lying around.
[10:16] ---
    What are you hiding?
[10:20] ---
    That's...
[10:27] ---
    Fine.
[10:28] ---
    Your mind is twisted.
[10:33] ---
    Seems like you need to be
    re-educated from scratch.
[10:40] ---
    Migi is on the other side of that door.
[10:43] ---
    Hang on. I'll rescue you.
[10:47] ---
    It won't work.
[10:49] ---
    That beast is well-trained.
[10:51] ---
    If it has come to this
[10:57] ---
    I will move it by force.
[11:08] ---
    Now.
[11:18] ---
    It's going to bite me.
[11:35] ---
    Wait, you...
[11:37] ---
    just wanted someone to play with?
[11:43] ---
    Once I've saved Migi,
    I'll come play with you.
[12:05] ---
    Mom.
[12:06] ---
    Come here.
[12:13] ---
    Can you hear the water fleas singing?
[12:25] ---
    Migi.
[12:26] ---
    Migi.
[12:29] ---
    The song of the water fleas...
[12:33] ---
    Are you in there?
[12:37] ---
    Dali?
[12:38] ---
    Migi! Wait a little,
    I'll get it open.
[12:40] ---
    I'm going to stay here, Dali.
[12:44] ---
    Migi? What are you--
[12:45] ---
    They don't know that there's two of us.
[12:49] ---
    As long as I'm in here,
    they will lower their guard.
[12:52] ---
    You must use that chance
    to search the house.
[12:56] ---
    But, Migi...
[12:58] ---
    Will you be okay?
[12:59] ---
    Are you eating?
[13:01] ---
    Yeah.
[13:02] ---
    They're not hurting you, are they?
[13:04] ---
    No.
[13:05] ---
    Migi. Is that the truth?
[13:08] ---
    Stop worrying, Dali.
[13:12] ---
    There's no way
[13:13] ---
    I'd let Dali see me like this.
[13:17] ---
    I'll be fine.
[13:21] ---
    Can we talk for a second?
[13:24] ---
    Yeah.
[13:28] ---
    I looked everywhere,
[13:30] ---
    but there’s no water fleas anywhere.
[13:33] ---
    Water fleas...
[13:35] ---
    Hey, Dali, do you remember?
[13:38] ---
    We heard the water fleas sing,
[13:39] ---
    under the bed, together with Mother.
[13:42] ---
    The water fleas singing?
[13:44] ---
    Though now I know
[13:46] ---
    it was the sound of
    the piano in the next room.
[13:50] ---
    A piano?
[13:54] ---
    STORAGE - PIANO
[13:57] ---
    A hidden room?
[14:00] ---
    Migi, check the wallpaper in that room.
[14:03] ---
    The wallpaper?
[14:21] ---
    This room is where we used to live.
[14:31] ---
    GOAL
[14:37] ---
    WELL DONE, MY DEAR MIGI AND DALI
[14:44] ---
    Mother!
[14:51] ---
    What are you doing, Migi? Be quiet!
[14:53] ---
    Mother!
[14:56] ---
    Migi, you idiot.
[15:18] ---
    You're hungry, aren't you?
[15:22] ---
    It's time for milk.
[15:26] ---
    Grow up and become Eiji.
[15:36] ---
    The Ichijos are good at hiding.
[15:40] ---
    Ever since then,
[15:41] ---
    I eavesdropped on their conversations.
[15:45] ---
    And it bordered on eerie that
[15:47] ---
    not once did they ever mention Migi,
    whom they were holding captive.
[15:52] ---
    What is the deal with that button?
[15:56] ---
    Was it our mother's dying message?
[15:59] ---
    Was she saying Eiji did it?
[16:01] ---
    That's ridiculous.
[16:02] ---
    A five year old is no murderer.
[16:05] ---
    So then who is it?
[16:07] ---
    I can't seem to find the answer.
[16:11] ---
    Let's start by
    scrutinizing the father's study.
[16:21] ---
    Huh?
[16:22] ---
    Who could it be?
[16:25] ---
    At this time on Wednesdays...
[16:27] ---
    the house ought to be empty.
[16:32] ---
    It ought to...
[16:42] ---
    It's me, Micchan!
[16:46] ---
    Ms. Micchan...
[16:47] ---
    I heard all about it.
[16:49] ---
    You're staying with the Ichijo family?
[16:52] ---
    Yocchan and Papa
[16:54] ---
    are devastated beyond words.
[16:58] ---
    Why are you here?
[17:00] ---
    Oh,
[17:01] ---
    I'm a housekeeper.
[17:03] ---
    Every Wednesday,
    I work at the Ichijo house.
[17:07] ---
    Right.
[17:08] ---
    This old lady is
    the one who found the wallpaper.
[17:12] ---
    I have no choice but to use her.
[17:16] ---
    Hey, Micchan.
[17:18] ---
    Hm?
[17:19] ---
    Does this house have no secrets?
[17:23] ---
    If you find any,
    you better tell me about them.
[17:26] ---
    I better start cleaning.
[17:39] ---
    Ow, you're like an eel!
[17:42] ---
    There has to be something here.
[17:44] ---
    Our mother was held captive here.
[17:49] ---
    Hm?
[17:56] ---
    -Mot...
    -What did you find?
[17:59] ---
    Hey, Micchan.
[18:02] ---
    Hm?
[18:03] ---
    Do you know this woman?
[18:05] ---
    Judging by her clothes,
[18:08] ---
    she was probably
    the housekeeper at the time.
[18:11] ---
    It's strange, though.
[18:13] ---
    She looks so young,
[18:15] ---
    but the Ichijos don't want
    anyone under the age of 50.
[18:30] ---
    Ah, no, I can't!
[18:32] ---
    I'm not supposed to
    clean the second floor.
[18:36] ---
    Oh, Hitori!
[18:39] ---
    Look at all the crumbs here.
[18:42] ---
    No way I can just ignore this,
    that really won't do.
[18:50] ---
    Hitori, you search low!
[18:52] ---
    And I'll focus on everything high up!
[18:55] ---
    Everywhere, perfectly,
    not missing a single spot!
[18:58] ---
    You seem to be having fun.
[19:01] ---
    Of course I am.
[19:03] ---
    The Ichijos secrets are
[19:05] ---
    what everyone wants to find.
[19:08] ---
    I can't wait to tell someone about it.
[19:15] ---
    Oh.
[19:17] ---
    That's strange.
[19:19] ---
    Usually you'd expect dust to
    gather on a pictureframe like this...
[19:29] ---
    No, you painting thief!
[19:46] ---
    Micchan, you’re cheating.
[19:48] ---
    I'm the one who figured it out, you know.
[19:55] ---
    Micchan?
[20:02] ---
    Micchan, is this...?
[20:04] ---
    I think
[20:05] ---
    it's a diorama of Origon Village.
[20:10] ---
    Look, Hitori, it's the Sonoyama house.
[20:15] ---
    Yocchan! And Papa!
[20:23] ---
    Akiyama...
[20:26] ---
    The rodent.
[20:27] ---
    No way.
[20:29] ---
    I don't even live here, but there I am.
[20:32] ---
    In the Ichijo house...
[20:36] ---
    My eyes are way too close together.
[20:39] ---
    Micchan?
[20:41] ---
    Here...
[20:43] ---
    Data about all the villagers.
[20:47] ---
    So the Ichijos...
[20:51] ---
    are surveilling
[20:52] ---
    all of Origon Village?
[21:04] ---
    Someone...
[21:05] ---
    ... Is back home?
[21:15] ---
    Hitori, in here.
[21:20] ---
    Okay,
[21:21] ---
    you can't open it until it's all quiet.
[21:24] ---
    What about you?
[21:26] ---
    I'm fine.
[21:28] ---
    You can always
    count on me to clean up.
[21:31] ---
    Micchan.
[23:19] ---
    Micchan?
