[thinks] Sound. It can hear where we are!

[Momo groans]

[Jiji] How come it didn't react
to her voice?

Wait. Maybe it only picks up
sounds that vibrate through the walls.

[Okarun groaning]

[Jiji] Oh…

[gasps]

[Momo gasps]

- No, stop! Momo, what are you doing?
- [Momo yells]

[groans]

Huh. This thing has just stabbed me.

- [Jiji] Way to go, cat! Are you okay?
- [Momo moaning]

I've been stabbed! Oww!

You dumbass!
Get that twine and tie up Four-eyes!

[Jiji] Okay!

- [Okarun moaning]
- I'm sorry, dude.

- [Momo moaning]

- [Jiji] I'm sorry, Momo.
- [Momo groans]

- God damn it! What happened?
- [continues moaning]

Why are they freaking out?

- Psychic waves.
- Huh?

[Turbo Granny] The worm sends out
psychic waves

to get the humans
in this house to off themselves.

[Jiji] My folks tried to k*ll themselves
'cause of that thing?

- But how come it's not working on me?
- [Turbo Granny straining]

Oh, kid. Don't tell me
you haven't noticed yet?

[Momo] Cut us loose! I'm not sure how,
but my head's straight again.

EPISODE 14: THE EVIL EYE

[Jiji] Thank God you're back.

Sorry for my behavior.

What's up with the skinny dude?

[Okarun] Is he how we got our sanity back?

[creaking]

[chiming]

- [Okarun gasps]
- Oh, creepy!

- [grunts] Uh…
- [Turbo Granny] Don't look it in the eyes!

That's the Evil Eye!

One look from it can make folks go nuts,
and commit suicide!

[Momo] Wait, what?

The same as the worm's psychic waves?

[Turbo Granny] Yep. But now,
the Evil Eye's curse and the worm's waves

are canceling each other out.

[Momo] Whatever! The worm froze
in its tracks, and now it's our turn.

- Okarun! Kick its a*s!
- [gasps]

[Okarun sighs]

[listlessly] Oh, sweet.
I get to go all out again.

- [grunts]
- [Momo yelps]

[Momo] Yes! You cut off its head!

And he flew away.

[squelching]

[deep groan]

[Momo] Eww! Gross! The stump grew a mouth!

- [sobbing] No fair!
- [Turbo Granny] Don't look it in the eyes!

The reason my parents tried to off
themselves wasn't your fault, was it?

[Momo] Jiji!

[sinister humming resumes]

[child Evil Eye] Uh… Huh?

[child 5 wailing]

- [humming resumes]
- [child Evil Eye gasps]

[thinks] There's some… thing down there.

[ticking]

[man] There's a tough break.

What do you wanna do with the kid?

He'll be an offering to the Great Serpent.

We'll bury him with the house.

[gasps]

[child Evil Eye] It's her…

I feel bad for the little guy,
but it's for the sake of the village.

Protectin' it's our duty as Kitos.

DO NOT ENTER

- [wailing]
- [child Evil Eye straining]

[both sobbing]

[echoing click]

[tense music playing]

[thinks] I hate them.

The whole family.

I'll k*ll 'em.

k*ll them!

[child 5 wailing]

[Evil Eye] Look at me!

Look at me!

[snarling]

[Momo] Jiji!

Huh?

[Momo] What's wrong with you?

You should know better
than to be messin' with that thing!

Come on, freak! Let go of him!

[Jiji] Stop, Momo! He ain't hurting me.

- He's not a bad guy, I swear!
- Huh? How would you know?

He's been alone
and struggling all this time.

All he knows is suffering.

- [grunts]
- [Momo] Wait. Jiji! Where are you going?

You're down there somewhere
below this level, aren't ya?

[Momo] Jiji, wait! Don't go runnin' off!

[panting]

What the hell? The lower we go,
the older the houses look.

They've been built
one on top of the other for years now.

[panting] Hang on.

I'm comin' to get you out.

[hammering]

[panting]

[grunts]

[straining]

[Momo panting]

Next time I tell you to wait, you…
What the hell is this place?

[Jiji shudders]

[bells jingle]

You were locked away here all this time.

And you weren't trying to get me.

You were protecting me.

[Turbo Granny] Stop!
Don't get any closer to it!

And quit feelin' sorry for it.

It's a kind of yōkai
that makes a human wanna k*ll themself.

Uh-uh! He's just like us.

Even though he looks different,
he's just like us.

He ain't like you!
I know what I'm talkin' about.

Quit arguing.
You both need to chill for a sec.

How do we deal with this?

[sinister humming]

[energy zapping]

[both scream]

[both groan]

[Momo] Ow! What was that?

[Jiji groans] Everything got
super bright for a sec.

[groans]

Uh… [gasps]

[squelching]

This is bad.
The place is fillin' up with sticky goop!

Shoulda listened to me, ya dumb turds.

Oh, gimme a break.
Where's your good luck when we need it?

[Turbo Granny] My luck ain't
exclusive to you or me.

It could even help the enemy.

By the look of things, it probably did.

[Momo groans] You suck!

[crying] Okarun! Where the hell are you?

I'd come to you,
but I can't move a muscle.

Once I get my hands free,
I'll get us outta here.

[strains]

[eerie music playing]

- [Turbo Granny grumbling]
- [Momo] There.

Come on, Jiji, grab onto me.
We're gettin' out.

[silence]

[squelching]

[Momo] Uh, Jiji?

Yo, you hear what I said?

Jiji. Jiji!

[bells jingle]

[eerie humming]

Mmph…

[gasps]

[shudders]

[gasps]

[poignant music playing]

I'm sorry. I was full of hate.

I was scared.
I thought it was all your fault.

But you were here, suffering.

I wanna play. I wanna play to…

[Jiji] Huh?

I wanna play together.

Okay, here we go!

Whatever you want! Come on, let's go!

I got all day for you!

[chuckles]

I'll hang out with you
as much as you want.

It's you and me for keeps, yo.

[Evil Eye sighs]

Aah.

[snarling]

[echoing] You said it!

[tense, nervy music playing]

[low, intense humming]

[screaming]

- Jiji!
- Dummy. You heard I warned him.

You can't trust the Evil Eye. Ever!

- [power crackling]
- [Momo and Turbo Granny scream]

[both groan]

[Momo] Ugh. I got shocked again!

[sinister humming continues]

[grunts]

[rumbling]

[gasps]

[dynamic music playing]

[gasps]

Uh…

At last, I have control of this body.

With it, I shall k*ll all humans.

Jiji! Was that the Evil Eye's power?

Stay ready, or we're dead!

[Momo] Jiji?

- [Jiji grunts]
- [Momo shrieks]

[both groan]

My, my. You have peculiar powers.

Ya smug b*stard!
I'll kick your a*s, just you wait!

What a strange little yōkai.

Have you become this human's sl*ve?

- You wise-a*s scum-sucker!
- [Momo groans]

When I get free,
I swear I'm gonna give you such a beatin'!

Come on, Jiji, snap out of it!

Drop the edgelord act
and go back to being a goober!

[Jiji] Who are you speaking to?

- [Turbo Granny squeaks]
- I'm the one controlling this vessel.

And soon, I will show you humans
what hell is truly like.

- [low growling]
- Hmm?

- [crackling]
- [snarling]

- [whooshing]
- [screeching]

[Momo] Holy crap!

A grudge that cannot be exorcised.

A cursed house. built from the rage
of those who were m*rder*d,

who now reject everything!

[spirits groaning]

- [grunts]
- [spirits screeching]

[dynamic music playing]

[grunts]

[Great Serpent moaning]

[grunts]

[Momo gasps]

[Great Serpent groaning in distress]

[grunting]

[crashing]

What a coward.
Always fleeing back to the dirt.

Ow, my ribs!

I can't believe this is happening.
Why'd Jiji turn into that?

You have gotta be the dumbest medium ever.

How many times
does Seiko have to say it to ya?

- What?
- Hello? That he's a genius.

And you grew up to be quite the genius.

Too kind, you genius.

Please.
I'm just being me, you genius, you.

[Turbo Granny] It ain't every day
you come across a person

with spiritual power
as jaw-droppin' as his.

Plus, the kid's athletic as hell.

As a vessel, he's perfect.

No wonder the Evil Eye wanted him.

If I could do it over again,
I'd possess him myself.

But, like…

in grade school, Jiji was a normal kid.

He didn't have any powers.

[Turbo Granny] When your power wakes
is different for everyone.

Even yours just woke up, didn't it?

Before that, you were a plain old kid too.

Yeah.

[Turbo Granny] He ain't your friend
no more, Momo.

So get ready for a hell of a fight.

[Momo grunts]

[screeching]

[Momo yelling]

[screams]

[gasps]

- [Jiji grunts]
- [Momo yelps]

[groans]

[Turbo Granny moans]

[grunts]

[screeching]

Huh?

Okarun!

You're gonna get such an a*s-whuppin'.

No one hits Momo!

[power surging]

DAN DA DAN

[song in Japanese playing]

THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH

NAMES OF PEOPLE [INCLUDING THE ACTOR
KEN TAKAKURA] AND ORGANIZATIONS.

- [Momo] Challenging.
- [Seiko] Challenging.

[Okarun] What's challenging?

[Seiko] Folks say something's challenging
when they see something's challenging.

[Momo] Totally.

Next time,
"You Won't Get Away with This!"

[Okarun] Can someone tell me
what's challenging?

Wait. We had this conversation before!
