Cat's Eyes (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
[Toshio snoring]
All right, I have your drinks ready.
I have iced coffee, iced cocoa,
and then hot coffee.
- These look awesome, thanks.
- Much appreesh.
[Hitomi] Thanks
for always looking out for Toshio.
Ah, no, we could say
the same thing to you.
I don't think we've ever
actually gotten to meet.
So yeah, I'm Hirano,
one of Toshio's juniors--
I'm Takeuchi! Hi!
[chuckles] And I'm Hitomi.
That's my older sister.
Hi, I'm Rui.
She's got a name.
- Nice to meet you, Rui. [laughs]
- [Toshio snoring]
[Hitomi] Toshio,
haven't you slept long enough?
Ah, let's let him catch
some more Z's while he can.
[Takeuchi] Cat's Eye's always
15 steps ahead of us,
so he and Asatani have been pulling
all-nighters
trying to come up with a new strategy.
Huh! They spend a lot of time,
just the two of them?
What do you two do?
Oh, we pack the muscle.
So you could say our work
is more in the field.
Believe it or not, I was
the best sharpshooter of my class
when I was at the police academy.
That Cat's Eye's going down! Ka-chow!
[blows] It'll be awesome.
Shooting them isn't necessary, is it?
[Hirano] Yeah! Who needs guns anyway?
Oh, hold on. Let me refill your waters.
Dang, Toshio's in
a great situation here, man.
He's got a beautiful girlfriend
who works at the cafe
right across the street from our station.
[groaning and snoring]
[Hitomi] The snoring has
really overstayed its welcome.
I could wake him up if you want.
Oh, no, I think that I can handle it.
[snoring continues]
Toshio, it's time to rise and shine.
[Hirano softly] Ah, I wish
I could wake up to Rui.
- Wakey wakey, time to get up.
- [softly] Chill.
[groans] Oh, give it a rest, Asatani,
let a guy sleep.
- [gasps]
- [both exclaim]
[gasps]
Asa [gasps] I'm drowning!
What just happened?
Huh? Hitomi?
Why are you raising your-- Ow!
- What just happened?
- He'll be trying to fix that for a while.
- Hold on.
- Condolences, bro.
- [grunts]
- What did I do?
Would you please just tell me, Hitomi?
Hitomi?
I didn't think you knew my name.
Wait, now I'm more confused.
Detective Utsumi!
- [both exclaim]
- Oh, hi, Asatani. What's going on?
An art museum just informed us
that the Cats put out a hit
on one of their pieces.
[Toshio] Really? Okay,
let's kick it into gear, then!
- I have the car right outside.
- [Toshio] Let's go!
[Hitomi] Uh
- [door opens]
- [Asatani grunts softly]
[Takeuchi and Hirano whimpering]
[Takeuchi gasps]
He and Asatani just got
paired up for work.
That's the only reason
they're always together
at all hours of the day.
It's totally professional.
All hours of the day?
Hey! You got nothing
to worry about with that guy.
[sighs wearily]

#6 I WISH WE COULD STAY AS WE ARE
The museum's way up in the mountains.
Routes of entry will be pretty limited.
And whatever routes there are,
we can bank on the police
controlling every one of them.
Exactly.
Hitomi, what do you think?
Huh? Yeah.
Our only option is
to get there by air, right?
Weather in the mountains can change
on a dime with the air currents up there,
so I don't think
that'll be a reliable option.
That's one of the first things
Rui talked about.
Weren't you listening to her?
Huh? Oh.
She totally did.
[Ai] What's up with you lately?
It feels like your body's in the room,
but your brain's not here.
You're not stuck in what Toshio
was mumbling in his sleep, are you?
[gasps]
[sighs]
[Ai] Oh, what,
when he said Asatani's name?
Come on, that didn't mean anything.
I don't think of you as the type
to get caught up on things like that.
Yeah, I'm being an idiot.
[chuckles softly]
Toshio - To: Do you think we can go
on a date this weekend?
Sorry, I'm busy.
How about tomorrow night?
Sorry, I have work.
Another day might work.
[sighs wearily]
A thief and a detective.
Is there a world
where our relationship works out?
- [car approaching in distance]
- [gasps]
[Toshio] How do you feel
about our plan for the museum?
[Asatani] We have more work to do
before it's perfect.
We should review it again.
Yep.
You got anything left
in the tank for that?
[Asatani] I've got energy to spare.
Let's keep at it, then.
[Hitomi] They have so much more
in common than he and I do.
They want to take down Cat's Eye together.
She's clearly the better match for him.
Maybe we should take a break
from each other for a while.
[sighs]
TAKAO KOGEN ART MUSEUM
We've blocked off the northwest entrance.
Copy. Good work.
How we looking?
Nothing to report here.
Stay alert.
I've reached the coordinates.
[Rui] Nice work.
You'll approach the target
on foot from there.
- [Hitomi] Got it.
- Don't forget your wardrobe change.
Just 10 minutes to go
until the Cats strike.
- [footsteps approaching]
- Huh?
We've got the north-bound lane
of the highway closed off.
There aren't any routes left
that Cat's Eye could use.
Great work!
We really cracked the strategy this time,
no way that they'll get through to us
with this setup.
[Hitomi] I'll update
Detective Utsumi as well.
Yeah, go give him the report.
Hey, open the gate.
METROPOLITAN POLICE DEPARTMEN
POLICE
[Hitomi sighs]
[Takeuchi] Bring it on!
[beeping]
60 seconds.
All sections, sound off
with a report on your status.
[Takeuchi] North gate,
nothing to report here.
[Hirano] Northwest blockade,
nothing out of the ordinary.
[Shirai] Main entrance, nothing unusual.
[Unno] The gardens are uneventful, too!
Nice work on this, Asatani!
The security plan you came up with
is going off without a hitch.
That is kind of you to say.
But I think it's a little early
to be celebrating.
Oh [gasps]
You there! What are you doing here?
There shouldn't be
anyone patrolling inside.
Give me your name
and department right now.
I am waiting for your answer!
Let me see your face.
And take off that hat.
[grunts softly]
Off with it!
- [timer beeps]
- [explosion]
- [Toshio] Huh?
- [Asatani gasps]
[all exclaim]
Cat's Eye's here! North gate reporting!
They've completely destroyed the gate!
Form up! To the north gate.
Move!
Come on, Asatani.
[grunts]
Hmm.
- [alarm blaring]
- [gasps]
That's enough from you, stand down!
- [Hitomi grunts]
- [Asatani groans]
[Hitomi] You're not getting me.
Not today, Asatani.
[grunts]
[grunts]
[Shirai] We'll rendezvous with you
at the north gate.
- [Asatani] Detective Utsumi!
- Hmm?
[Toshio] What's wrong?
Cat's Eye is in the museum!
You, on the motorcycle! Stop right there!
[Hitomi gasps]
[tires screeching]
We've got them cornered now.
Today's the day!
That's right, get off the bike
- and put your hands in the air
- [motorcycle revving]
[Hirano] Hey, hey, hey!
[Hirano groaning and grunting]
What just happened?
- Right! I'm taking this!
- Huh?
[engine starts]
[yelps]
- Where're you going?
- [exclaims]
[gasps]
[engine revving]
The jig is up!
I'm right on your tail,
you're not getting away today!
[gasps and grunts]
[Toshio grunting]
[Toshio grunting]
- [Toshio screaming]
- [thudding]
[Ai] Hitomi's dot stopped moving!
Something's wrong!
C'mon, Hitomi, pick up, pick up.
- Pick up! [breathing nervously]
- [line beeping]
I can feel it, something happened!
[groans]
[sighs]
Where am I?
[gasps] Toshio's here?
[gasps]
[Hitomi] We must've fallen from up there
after we crashed into each other.
[groaning]
[gasps]
[yelps and thuds]
[groaning]
[Toshio groaning]
Huh?
[gasps]
[gasps]
Who's there?
I thought I heard someone moving?
Uh-oh. [groans]
My eyes [groans]
[Hitomi] He can't see me?
Oh, that's right, that must be
Cat's Eye I'm hearing! [grunts]
Where are you?
Where are you?
[grunts] Urgh!
Of all the times to not be able to see!
- [clunks]
- [gasps]
I got you now!
[gasps]
If we're going by her GPS beacon,
then she'll be somewhere
inside these woods.
- Well, then let's go find her.
- Hmm.
[Toshio] So tell me, Cat.
Do you even know where we are?
I assume you can see, anyway.
[Hitomi grunts softly]
You haven't said a word
since we got down here,
is that gonna end?
[Hitomi sighs]
[gasps]
[Toshio] Huh? What?
You're writing?
I-N A H-O-L-E.
"In a hole?"
So when we went tumbling,
we fell down into a pit.
How far up is it
for us to climb out of here?
[Hitomi writing] About 10 meters.
So climbing isn't
gonna be an option, then.
[Hitomi writing] No way.
[sighs]
Don't tell me
you're losing your touch,
this kind of thing should be a walk
in the park for a member of Cat's Eye.
[Hitomi writing] I hurt
my leg in the fall.
Well, that explains why you didn't escape.
Which leg is it, your left or right?
- [Hitomi writing] My right.
- [grunts]
[gasps]
[Toshio grunts]
Doesn't seem to be broken,
so there's that.
[Hitomi sighs]
Good grief, this is a mess.
We've got a thief who can't walk
and a detective who can't see,
stuck down at the bottom of a pit
and no one knows where we are.
And we're in a dense forest
in the middle of nowhere,
we can't exactly expect to be rescued.
- Seems likely we'll just die out here.
- [Hitomi sighs]
- [Hitomi writing] Let's work together?
- Huh?
[grunts]
Yeah, you're right.
If we don't team up,
there's no way we'll make it out.
- Right.
- 'Kay.
Oh, do you have a phone or any way
we could reach the outside world?
- I got nothing.
- Oh, uh
Well, let me see here.
Thankfully I've got my phone,
so could you be my eyes and use it?
The passcode is one, one, one, six.
[gasps]
What's that reaction?
The passcode is my girlfriend's birthday.
- [Hitomi exclaim softly]
- [exclaims]
[chuckles] You saw the background,
I guess.
That's her all right.
She seems nice.
[chuckles] She's way more than nice.
She's so far out of my league
that it's not even funny.
[gasps]
When she gets mad though,
I want to run for the hills.
- [grunts]
- [Toshio] Ow!
Why'd you do that?
All right, back on topic,
would you just use that phone
and make a call for help?
No signal.
Ah, crap, no signal.
- [rocks clatter]
- Ahh.
You heard a noise
above us just now, right?
One of my teammates must be up there
looking for us in the woods!
[shouting] Hey, is anyone up there?
- Hey, Asatani, can you hear me?
- [Hitomi groans]
Asatani, hello?
[yelps]
[Toshio] What is your problem?
[Toshio grunts]
Okay.
How about now? Anything?
- [Hitomi] No.
- Dang it.
[Hitomi] What if we looked around?
Around what?
[Hitomi] This seems like
an old mining tunnel.
There might be an exit somewhere else.
Hmm. Let's go check it out. [grunts]
[Ai] The GPS shows her dot
somewhere right around here.
[Rui] Oh.
[Ai] Wait. A motorcycle?
Hmm.
- Hitomi's phone is here!
- [gasps]
It must've fallen out.
[gasps]
Wait, where are you going, Ai?
But the painting is here, too.
[Rui] I don't see her.
- Things just keep getting worse, Rui.
- What is it now?
[Ai] There's this!
Toshio's with her?
[Toshio] This is disappointing.
I wanted to finally see
what Cat's Eye looks like.
So tell me, are you pretty?
[Hitomi] That should go without saying.
You would say that.
But you've got nothing on Hitomi.
[gasps]
[chuckles lightly]
[groans]
I wonder if I'll ever get
to see her face again.
[Hitomi] You'll be okay.
Your sight will come back.
We're turning right up ahead.
Yep, got it.
[gasps]
- [Hitomi sighs softly]
- You sound upset.
[Hitomi] It's a dead end.
Ah, the hits keep coming, huh? [groans]
We worked so hard to get here
and now we have to turn around?
- [Hitomi sighs]
- [rocks clattering]
- [rumbling]
- [Hitomi gasps]
[both coughing]
[both grunting]
[gasps]
What was that?
[Hitomi sighs]
- [Hitomi] The tunnel collapsed.
- Huh?
[Hitomi] We're trapped here.
Ah, darn!
If I'd known this would happen,
I would've apologized to Hitomi.
I made her really mad at me the other day.
'Cause another woman's name
slipped out while I was sleeping.
It doesn't help
that I've been so busy lately
that we've barely seen each other,
let alone had time to go out
on an actual date together.
But you know why I don't get any time
to myself? It's because of you!
[chuckles] You got me.
[sighs] I honestly don't know
what I'd do without her.
[gasps]
I've never been able to catch you,
and my boss screams at me
every time I fail.
I always get down in the dumps about it.
But then I see her face
and all of my worries just melt away.
And I feel like
I can get back on the horse.
No one else in the world
can make me feel the way she does.
And well, if I keep doing things
the way I've been doing them,
then she's bound to get sick
of me and leave me behind.
[Hitomi sighs softly]
- [Hitomi] Don't worry about it.
- Huh?
[Hitomi] Because
Hitomi doesn't know
what she'd do without you either.
How do you know what she thinks?
[Hitomi] The reason she got mad
at what you said in your sleep,
is because she cares deeply about you.
You probably keep her going, too.
Hmm?
[laughs] Of all the unlikely things,
I'm getting love advice from Cat's Eye.
I hope I can survive this
and get to see Hitomi again!
There are still so many places
I want to go with her!
[Hitomi] Same here.
Huh?
- [wind blows]
- [gasps]
- Wait. Was that wind?
- [Hitomi sighs]
I felt something coming from over there.
[Hitomi] There might be
a way out through here.
Can you kick it down?
[Toshio] I'll try.
[grunts]
[Toshio sighs]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[Hitomi] There's an opening above us.
How far from here to the surface?
[Hitomi] About five meters.
It looks climbable.
This might be our exit.
How 'bout it, should we give it a try?
- The handcuffs?
- Uh [groans]
Don't think about running.
[grunts] If you break away,
I'm just gonna handcuff you again,
so don't even try it. [grunting]
[Hitomi] Climbing's hard enough
with one person.
I need you to hang on tighter.
[Toshio grunts]
[grunting]
[Toshio screams, grunts]
[panting]
- [grunts]
- Take a rest.
You're kidding. You're not
hounding me to keep going?
Sorry, I'm distracted.
You've got me a little in my head,
holding me the way you are.
If Hitomi found out about this,
she'd get mad at me all over again.
But even though
you and I have never spoken before,
it feels like we're friends
who've known each other for forever.
[Hitomi chuckles lightly]
Honestly, what the heck
am I even talking about?
I'm just babbling.
I'm a terrible detective.
Now let's get outta here!
[Toshio grunting]
[Hitomi] We're almost there.
Come on.
We're almost there.
[Toshio grunts]
[screams]
[grunts]
[smirks]
[Hitomi] Rui! Ai! You're real life-savers.
[Toshio groaning] Can't breathe
[straining]
[Toshio coughing]
For a second there,
I thought I was gonna die.
[whispering] Let's get out of here.
[grunts] Go on.
- You can leave.
- [gasps]
If I hadn't had your help,
I never would've made it
out of there alive.
Once I get my eyesight back,
I'll catch you again, you'll see.
[sighs softly]
[exclaims]
[Ai and Rui gasp]
[Hitomi] Thank you.
Why did she
Huh?
[upbeat music playing]
Howdy-hey!
Look who the cat dragged in.
Hey! This must mean
your eyesight is back, Toshio!
I'm seeing 20-20.
Which means that I can once again behold
all of your beauty!
Thank you, sir, but you should
really save that for her.
Hmm?
[Toshio] Hitomi.
Yes, what?
[Toshio] I'm really sorry!
The other day,
even if I was asleep,
saying the wrong name was dumb.
Toshio Utsumi
- Mmm?
- Are you free tomorrow?
- Uh
- I thought maybe the two of us
could go for a drive.
You know, since we haven't gotten
to spend much time together lately.
Yeah, let's do it!
Your eyes did only just heal up,
so I think I'll be taking the wheel.
Oh, no, don't be silly,
I'm already back to 100%.
You can leave the driving to me,
okay, Asatan-- Ugh!
[growling]
Uh [squeals]
[groans softly]
Like I'd get mad over something like that.
Wait, really?
Toshio, I trust you more than anyone else.
Having said that,
you'll need to make it up to me
by paying for lunch on our date tomorrow.
[Toshio] Huh? Yeah! Is that all?
Of course I can do that!
[Hitomi] Hmm. Sushi sounds good!
Or maybe a four-course French meal?
A detective's salary
isn't that much, Hitomi!
Gosh, how will I ever make up my mind?
Please, I'm begging you to go easy on me!
