The Detective Is Already Dead (2021) s01e09 Episode Script
SPES
1
I can see it now. That's SPES's base.
Where you say this Alicia girl is
Our goals are clear-cut:
Subduing Hel and rescuing Alicia.
The fifth heart she harvested
as Jack the Ripper
has most likely worn down by now
and is no longer functioning.
In short, now is our best chance.
Three years after our battle with
SPES began this is finally it.
Sidekick Shall I stroke your head?
What was the segue into that?
Mom, I'm scared.
You really are erratic in your moods.
You don't want me to?
Don't be silly. How could I do
something so embarrassing?
Hmph. I'll give up my place.
Come here.
That's quite a dramatic pose
just to offer a head rub.
We've got a little time,
so I thought I'd give you a hug.
Don't try to press your chest against
a guy as if it's a commonplace thing.
You have a unique way of
expressing things, Kimi.
Okay, fine. Some other time, then.
I doubt that time will come.
Hey, you should've taken that hug from
Mom earlier, when you had the chance.
That's silly. You think I could
do something so pathetic?
You'll regret it if you keep being
so obstinate all the time,
since you have nobody else besides Mom.
That's not And what's more, Siesta
has nobody else but me either, right?
She doesn't.
Mom doesn't have anyone but you.
"Episode 9"
"SPES"
There's nobody here.
And here I was mentally prepared
for at least two or three fights.
Wha--?
What are these? Corpses?
Cerberus? No, you're--
Sadly for you, I am not Hel.
Bat?
Ooh, that's a great reaction!
But I'm not Bat either.
Then who are you?
I'm the parent.
Wait, you're SPES's
A parent who wantonly kills his children--
your thinking is that of a monster.
No. I am neither a person
nor a monster. I am "Seed."
I'm a form of plant life that flew to
this star system from outer space.
What?
Though I say "plant,"
that is only if I'm attempting to force us into
classifications as you humans describe them.
Come on, give me a break.
What in the world are you telling me
we've been fighting against?
What are your intentions?
Answer her, Seed. For what purpose
is SPES committing terrorist acts?
It's for the purpose of surviving.
Our intentions are to blanket this
planet with "seeds." Only that.
The most primordial drive of living
things is to leave behind offspring.
In birthing clones like this,
I wish for my seed to flourish.
You think that motive makes it okay
to kill innocent human beings?
What's the matter with
eliminating an alien species
that stands in the way
of spreading our seed?
You're the ones who are an alien species!
Wha--?
The "seeds" of my fallen brethren here
have now been taken in by that one.
Hel, you mean? Where is Hel?
She isn't here, which means there's only
one conceivable place she could be, no?
Kimizuka, Mom!
Right, I know. Hurry!
It looks like I'll get
to have my fun, too.
It can't be Chameleon!
Kimizuka!
Let me ride behind you someday.
He--Chameleon--said he'd get to
have his fun, too. Which means
Crap.
Siesta!
Stop playing around!
You promised you wouldn't go off
and die without a word to us!
Right?
Forgive me.
I never supposed you
would come here, Kimi.
What a mess. My plan has gone awry.
The root cause must be that your love
for me was deeper than I supposed.
That said, Kimi,
performing first aid is fine,
but normally, checking whether someone
is breathing on their own comes first.
You So your heart was beating
before I started?
No, it wasn't beating, but--
It was stopped?
I've felt mildly outmatched
against Chameleon.
Since it seemed like a hassle, I had
stopped my heart and was playing dead.
Stopped your heart?
I'm only now asking after
three years together,
but just what manner of person are you?
Huh?
Could it be you've gone weak in the
knees with relief, knowing I'm okay?
Can I tell you my honest
feelings right now?
No! Don't! I won't listen.
I'm thinking you're very cute.
Argh! I can't hear a thing!
What to do Shall I stroke
your head after all?
I positively refuse!
Shall I hug you?
Not a chance.
Or in Kimi-speak,
press my chest against you?
Don't ever so casually try
doing this to any other guy!
Oh, but you touched
my chest earlier already.
This is absurd.
Siesta, you've come into my life to
kill me, haven't you? Socially, that is.
Teasing you is truly a pleasure, Kimi.
It truly was a pleasure.
Siesta
Maybe just once, comfort me
by holding me to your breast.
If we survive to meet again
outside this island, that is. So
Which one are you?
I think you can tell that
if you look at my form.
Hel.
So it looks like we can
consider you fully recovered.
Uh-huh, thanks to Father. This time--
I'll defeat you.
Huh?
And without fail,
I'll fulfill Alicia's wish.
No, without fail you're going to die here.
You can't save that girl.
You're so desperate it's laughable.
You want that badly to
recover Her Ladyship, eh?
Her Ladyship?
Did you realize?
This body is built a little differently
than those of the other SPES leaders.
Originally it was ordinary, human.
But because of this body's peculiarity,
it had a variety of experiments
performed on it
Pain, heat, pain, heat torment.
Apparently, Her Ladyship
suffered some very harsh trials.
And then one day, when she could
no longer endure that agony,
Her Ladyship brought me into being.
So that's the story.
A secondary secret personality
that Alicia generated
when she couldn't stand the agony
anymore that's what Hel is.
Half in anguish, half in sorrow--
that's how we lived life.
If that's the case, I'll end both the anguish
and the sorrow for you right now.
Kimi zuka
Alicia!
Don't.
If you'd shot me through the heart
or the head, you would've won.
So Her Ladyship is that important to you.
But such a soft-hearted bunch
won't defeat me.
What is that?
Well, we are in the enemy's stronghold.
I see. You're saying even something
like this was within your expectations.
This time I'll finish you!
Sidekick, you're in the way.
That's absurd.
I'll kill you, and this time,
I'll fulfill my mission
as a member of SPES!
Ah. So it was a lie.
What was? What about me
are you saying was a lie?
That you're a wholly new being,
brought into existence by
Alicia's self-protection instincts.
The one who first took on SPES's
abilities and intentions was Alicia.
So you were trying desperately to get
close to SPES. You're a mere impostor.
To what purpose would I do that?
What's the reason I've devoted
myself so entirely to SPES?
Most likely you wanted
to be loved by a father.
You only wanted a father to love you.
You wanted someone to appreciate you.
That was all.
You're wrong! You're wrong!
Earlier, your changing over to Alicia's
personality was to cause Alicia pain.
That's because you were envious of Alicia.
What are you saying?
You brought yourself as much
suffering as you possibly could,
yet you hated Alicia for finding
companions in Sidekick and me
Hated her and envied her.
You're wrong!
You're wrong! You're wrong! You're wrong!
I'm not wrong. You only wanted to
be loved. You wanted companionship.
Shut up! Kill one another.
Siesta, you're not going to die.
Sidekick, neither are you.
Huh?
How?
It's simple. It's because I trust Sidekick
more than I trust anyone, even myself.
We trust each other more than we trust
ourselves. That's all there is to it.
What nonsense is that?
You're saying because of something
like that my power doesn't work?
Isn't that a little too
convenient for you?
I'd ask you to at least
call it a spiritual bond.
A spiritual bond? How can?
How can such a thing?
Hel, you don't need to conform
to some Sacred Writ.
You don't need to kill
any more people either.
You can have companionship
without doing those things.
Spiritual bonds come into being.
Thus, you don't need to force yourself
to obey whatever he--
whatever Seed--tells you.
So you say!
I can't lose.
I'll admit it: I wanted to be loved.
I wanted to be needed.
I wanted someone to acknowledge
that my being born meant something.
It can't be just anybody, though.
I live, fight, and lay ruin to the
world only for Father's sake.
That's what my survival
instinct drives me to.
Well and good. Shall we bring
this to a conclusion now?
Let's end it here.
What now?
Sidekick!
Mom
It was supposed to be confined to the lab;
maybe the scent of food lured it out?
Siesta!
I want you to not move for a moment.
I've lost a little too much blood.
I need to exchange it for a new one
Don't! If you want a heart,
I'll give you mine! Just don't
Just not Siesta!
I told you before that you'd
become my partner someday.
So we need to keep you alive, right?
I'll take the legendary
detective's heart for myself.
At last, I've acquired a heart
that's worthy of this body.
With this, Father will certainly
Give it back.
That heart belongs to Siesta.
You're going to give it back!
That's an impossible proposition.
This belongs to me now.
Don't touch Siesta with your filthy hands!
Your fist won't reach me.
Where is that rage welling up from?
What's the reason for that spiritual bond
that you both were talking about?
What on earth were you to her?
Hel's asking was immaterial;
I'd been thinking about this all along
What on earth was I to Siesta?
What did I mean to her?
And yet
at this point, I can never know.
Nevertheless from that day we first
met, 10,000 meters up in the sky,
we continued our travels
over the course of three years.
During those days, which could
never be called tranquil,
my life was in jeopardy countless times.
I was denounced as stupid,
and pushed into absurd situations.
And yet, in the midst of those thousand
absurdities, I laughed 10,000 times.
I laughed together with Siesta.
You ask what the relationship
was between Siesta and me?
You ask me what I thought of Siesta?
I knew that beyond a doubt,
from the beginning,
she was the most important thing
in the whole world to me!
What the?
Sies ta
What just happened?
