The Detective Is Already Dead (2021) s01e11 Episode Script
A Light in the Midst of Hope
1
Keep your "correct response."
You say you're not anything at all?
If you're not anything at all yet,
you should be free to become anything
you want from here forward.
If you don't know how to fly,
you can learn from someone
how to flap your wings.
If you don't know how to live life,
you can walk in line with someone else!
Have you arrived at your answer now?
Yeah. My answer was settled
from very start.
The arrangement is that Nagisa
Natsunagi can't die before I do.
Sorry, but that's what was promised.
Nagisa-san!
Sorry it took so long!
Right, Saikawa. That twinkle of blue
that shines even in the dark
is surely worth three billion yen.
Well played I'm finished
going easy on you.
Without fail, here and now,
I shall give you your death!

"A Light in the Midst of Hope"
It was at some moment,
when I had said to Siesta,
It was at some moment,
when I had said to Siesta,
"You seem like you should be called
a secret agent more than a detective."
Kimi, although you say
I'm not really a detective,
I consider the definition
of "detective" as being
"one who protects the interests
of a client at all times."
I take pride in that sort of work.
That's why I have in the past,
and will always in the future,
continue to be a detective.
So saying, Siesta stood firm in
her own identity as a detective.
What Siesta meant by "client" was surely
every human being other than herself.
For that reason, she referred to herself
as "a legendary detective by nature"
and laughed. Her smile
was beyond radiant.
To be honest, from here on,
I'm just winging it.
It was close, but we managed
to save Natsunagi.
The fact that Saikawa raced over here
tells me that the evacuation of all the
other passengers should be complete.
In which case, everything's good.
If the only one who goes down with
the ship is me, that's just fine.
Ooh, there's a resolute look in your eye.
Intending to die alone, are you?
No. Sorry, but you're going to join me.
I regret to say I do not intend to
hand my life over to you, though.
And after I've finished killing you,
I will make a point of taking
the lives of those girls as well.
But rest assured, I won't
kill them too easily.
"Won't kill them too easily"?
Correct. Because, at any rate,
they possess that eye and that heart,
so from the tips of their toes to
every single hair on their heads,
it's worth examining them
meticulously, no?
Why, I'll torment them
until, by the time I'm done,
they'll cry and plead,
"Please, let me die!"
And at the very, very end I'll grant
them death through this torture.
Well, now, that's more than enough talk.
Have you made a reservation
for your trip to Hell?
No. Unfortunately, that destination
isn't on my itinerary.
Isn't it? Well, now
Die.
You overestimate yourself.
How could the likes of you,
an ordinary human, defeat us?
You can't protect anyone.
You talk too much!
You will die here,
and the girls you helped to escape, I will
kill, without fail, with this very hand.
Damn you Shut up!
Everything you've done was in vain.
You, and the human beings you're
trying to protect, will all die.
Just like that loathsome
legendary detective.
I'm going to die. That's fine.
But Natsunagi and Saikawa
I have to protect the two of them.
I must defend my clients' lives.
As Char said, I'm no more
than a sidekick. And yet
I intend to carry on the legacy of the
legendary detective's dying wish, too!
Char!
Kimizuka! Hit the deck!
Have a taste of this!
Fuubi-san!
Looks like you've had quite
a tough fight, Kimizuka!
That Char So she was intending
to do this from the start.
See, from the time I boarded this ship,
I felt a horrid presence
that was familiar to me.
I made all possible preparations.
Still, I'm grateful you came, Char.
So that means step aside, Kimizuka.
From here on, it's my turn!
Curses! The impudence
Go ahead, dodge around all you can!
I can't tell which one is the bad guy.
Kimizuka!
I don't like you; I hate you! But
But you were the one chosen by Mom.
Not me, but you, who I hate.
If that's how it is
If that's how it is, all I can do
is turn things over to you!
If Mom, who I loved,
chose you, who I hate
there's no choice but to rely on you!
Char
Kimizuka! This time around, the two of us
are going to make this mission succeed!
Yeah, I'm on board with that.
It's been my intention from the start!
Enough!
Char! Watch out!
We've been hit.
Oh, no.
In this state, no attack can strike me!
I'll be coming to kill you shortly. You can
gnaw on your fingertips while you wait.
Where are you?!
Char!
Kimizuka?
Oh. I get it.
I was also thinking it was about time
a certain someone quit smoking.
Hmph. No way around it, I guess.
It's hot!
I'll die
Chew on this!
Curses! Curse you!
I'll absolutely put an end to you here!
I won't let you kill
Natsunagi and Saikawa!
The fuselage won't hold up.
We're headed back!
Not yet!
We're changing locations.
Kimizuka!
Sies ta
Siesta
Hel
I never imagined you'd break through the
mind control to come in and land a punch.
You said she was the most important
thing in the world to you.
That's just--
I really appreciate you
professing your love,
but weren't you trying to damage
the face of that person you love?
I made you cry
Siesta Is it you?
No! I won't allow
such a ludicrous thing.
This willfully
taking over my body
Be quiet. I'm speaking with him now.
Siesta You
Sidekick There's no time,
so listen carefully.
The truth is, my heart is of
a slightly exceptional make.
I pondered over various schemes,
but couldn't come up with
another way besides this.
If it were only about
defeating her, I could have.
If it were only about killing her,
it would have been simple.
But she--Alicia--said that she wanted
to live, wanted to attend school.
Therefore, I've infiltrated this body
and suppressed Hel's consciousness.
That was the one and only method
that could save Alicia.
But that's That doesn't mean
Because protecting a client's
interests is a detective's job.
Siesta, so from the beginning you--
I've told you:
A real detective gets a handle on
a case before the incident occurs.
I knew some time ago
that it would come to this.
How? How could you?
You can't just decide something
like this all on your own.
If I had said anything,
you would've stopped me, Kimi.
I have a favor to ask you.
The answer's no.
Hear me out.
I refuse.
How stupid are you, Kimi?
This is no time to be obstinate.
If I suppress Hel's fiendish intentions,
Alicia's personality is sure
to awaken again in this body.
Alicia?
She may once again have lost her memory.
Even if she has, I want you
to seek her cooperation,
and, in time, bring down SPES.
But that means your consciousness
will be snuffed out along with Hel!
I won't allow such a thing! That's not
the kind of resolution I'd wish for!
I don't care in what form--
even as an enemy is fine--
as long as you as long as your
consciousness stays alive somewhere
I thought you'd say that. But it's fine.
Alicia has something I don't have.
With her, things will go great
for you, I'm sure of it.
Stop willfully driving the conversation
forward! I still haven't--
I wonder if this is also some
form of synchronicity.
Pollen So that's it That culture
festival, the Hanako-san incident
"Hanako-san is coming for you!"
Pollen So that's it That culture
festival, the Hanako-san incident
Pollen So that's it That culture
festival, the Hanako-san incident
That drug that so horribly
afflicted my middle school
So that was derived from a flower
that blooms on this thing's body
But as a side effect, cases of
memory impairment also occur.
No I don't want to forget.
It'll be all right. Well, it's possible
you may forget a few things.
But even so, you won't forget me, Kimi.
You'll never cast aside our mission.
You'll keep doing the work for me,
together with Alicia, sighing,
"This is absurd" all the while.
That's unacceptable I refuse.
I'm your sidekick. I won't go and
become a partner of anyone else.
At the very end, you say such
gratifying things for me.
I don't want to forget
about you ever
It'll be all right.
It's like we said:
We got through it all by trusting each
other more than we trusted ourselves.
So you're insisting
I trust what you're saying?
That's it. Until now, has there ever
been a time I was wrong?
No, there hasn't. Not a single time.
You've always been right.
You were too right.
That's why, for once
I wanted you to be wrong.
Next time you wake up, I'm sure
I'll already be gone, but
Do you hear me? I won't forget you!
Even if my consciousness is stripped
away by a fiendish enemy,
you're the one thing I won't forget, Kimi!
It may take time A week, a month,
a year! It may take a long time.
But nevertheless, this body will come to
meet you, without fail, one more time!
Absolutely.
Absolutely!
That's right
That's what Siesta said: "Together with
Alicia, take down SPES for me."
That was her final wish. And
A ribbon sounds nice
I'd also love to wear one
and try attending a real school.
Natsunagi is
Kill I'll kill you I'll kill you!
However cruel reality may be
I won't run from it anymore.
Until I've fulfilled my
promise to Siesta, I'll
How stupid are you, Kimi?
Hand-to-hand combat against a monster?
You can't even call that "rash"--
more like "madness."
You'll now be unable
to attack me ever again.
It's been a long time.
Yeah. Have you had enough
of napping Siesta?
