The Detective Is Already Dead (2021) s01e12 Episode Script
Those Dizzying Three Years I Spent with You
1
How stupid are you?
I was sure you'd cry,
Sidekick, cry for me
That's why I meant to have said
my farewells on that boat, but you
Kimi, you like me too,
too much, don't you?
I'm sorry I yanked you around
so much over three years.
I wish I could have more chances
to hear you say, "That's absurd,"
and see your face in profile
when you sighed.
I wanted to see you laugh
many, many times.
I didn't want to die.
And yet I promised you, that time,
that whatever incidents or problems
you got tangled up in with your
trouble-magnet nature, I'd protect you.
So, Kimi, keep sleeping as you are now,
with your mind at ease.
When you next awaken I'll be gone.
But it's okay.
I'm certain that, in my place,
she will save you.
And in my place, I expect
she'll embrace you, too.
In the end, I failed to hand
this over to her, didn't I?
I need to think of a name, too.
A new name for this body in its rebirth
once I've suppressed Hel's consciousness.
Okay, Sidekick. Remember this
The name of the person who will
someday awaken you from your sleep is
"Episode 12"
"Those Dizzying Three Years
I Spent with You"
It's been a year since I've seen you.
You've got a meaner look in your eye.
You're the one who's changed everything--
from your appearance on down.
So you were still in there
at the heart of things.
I'm just borrowing her body
for a little while.
I'm not thinking of seizing it
for myself or anything.
But I'm glad we could
see each other, Siesta.
Siesta, that's enough talk. We need
to do something about that first.
You're right. That's why
I came, after all.
Well, then.
Be my sidekick.
Yeah. If such is your command
legendary detective.
Here.
Here it comes.
Huh? Do you really want
to be on that side?
Eh? Is that a problem?
That thing can no longer attack me,
so I'd say it would be advantageous
for me to be in front of it.
I'd forgotten that.
I'm surprised you haven't improved
on your lack of focus.
Come to think of it,
you were always that way.
Saying, "For tonight, I'm getting us
a room in a resort hotel,"
then marching into the casino in high
spirits and blowing all our money
That was because you said you had had it
with pooping outdoors and got all weepy,
so the only hope was to shoot for turning
our finances around in one fell swoop--
Stop coming up with fake memories. If it's
about the time I wounded your pride
by accidentally seeing you taking--
er, doing your "business" outdoors,
I could apologize.
We're in combat! Stop dredging
up uncalled-for stuff!
Besides, you exposed yourself
in an embarrassing light too, right?
What are you referring to?
You know, that one time
We got into bed together and--
Hmm, I can't seem to hear you.
Then stop pointing your gun at me!
Kimi.
Have you forgotten we're in combat?
Don't dredge up uncalled-for stuff.
I'm positive that was my line
This is absurd.
And? In the end, how did things turn out?
Turn out?
I mean, when we slept in the same bed,
after that did we do it?
I thought you didn't want me to
dredge up any uncalled-for stuff.
No, the truth is, being
preoccupied with that,
I've been unable to
move on from this world.
Well, the thrill of being
reunited is now gone.
And? What did you really come back to do?
This is off the rails.
"I want you to help him."
Huh?
The truth is, she asked that of me.
Natsunagi asked you?
Uh-huh. Honestly, I had intended
to leave everything up to her.
But this is the last time.
It won't happen again.
Yeah, I realize that.
Sidekick.
H-Hey!
My body aloft in the air
Siesta saved me that other
time, too, just like this.
No--it wasn't just that time.
All the time, in every place
you were always
When it comes down to it,
having you always yanking me around
seems to be exactly what I needed.
What's suddenly come over you, Sidekick?
Were you lonely without me?
Could I have been that spineless?
I'm sorry.
Don't apologize.
I'm sorry I died before you.
I said don't apologize.
The truth is, I wasn't planning to
travel with you for years on end.
But before I knew it,
three years had passed.
I'm sure it was because I was more
fond of you than I had thought.
You birdbrain. You and I weren't lovers;
we weren't even friends.
Detective and sidekick we were only
some peculiar sort of business partners.
I realize that. You didn't think
of me as anything special,
and I didn't give you
any special treatment.
And yet those dizzying three
years I spent with you
are the best memories I have.
How stupid are you, Kimi?
Why try to play tough with a dead person?
You held up great on
your own this past year.
You asked if I was lonely without you
Sorry, but I had such boisterous
people around me,
I barely had time to think about that.
So you see, I'm not alone.
I see. Nurture those friendships.
Hey, Siesta
What is it?
Just to follow up from before--about what
happened when we got into bed together
I guess it's appropriate to say
unfortunately nothing happened.
Oh. To tell the truth
If it was with you, I wouldn't have minded
doing it, maybe just the once.
That's the sort of important thing that,
in the future, you should say sooner.
Y-You met up with Mom?
Yep. If she hadn't been there,
we'd be food for the fishes by now.
Oh. So she saved us once again.
It seems like maybe Mom knew,
on that day, that she was going to die.
Yeah, that might be true.
But even if, hypothetically,
she had known
I wish she were alive.
Did she say anything?
She said we should
nurture these friendships.
I see
Someday soon, will you
come with me to a florist?
A florist?
To tell me what I should
buy for Mom's grave.
"Japan"
"Tokyo"
"Yui Saikawa"
Are you sure that's what you want?
Yeah, it'll suffice.
But it's extremely ordinary.
Kimizuka-san, you're very ordinary
in both body and soul,
so if you go wearing ordinary
clothing on top of that,
you'll vanish right into the scenery.
Not likely
I can envision it A future where you're
just an extra in the background.
Hey!
You're the worst.
It seems you were watching me
the whole time with that left eye.
You were a huge help, Saikawa.
I only did what was common sense.
After all, I am the sidekick's sidekick.
More importantly, is it okay
that you're here with me?
There's going to be a party
in gratitude to you, right?
Yeah, although I told them
they didn't need to do that.
Well, they do owe you their lives.
It's thanks to you that they're able to
be safely homeward bound like this.
Ooh, yikes! It's rehearsal time!
Rehearsal?
I'm going to perform live
during the party.
After an incident like that,
I thought it'd be nice to create
as many fun memories as possible.
Furthermore, music and smiles stick with
people more when they're dispirited.
It's a great chance for me to gain
more worshippers--er, fans.
Saikawa
Right! Time to display the full force
of Yui Saikawa, world's cutest idol!
Fuubi-san!
Hey.
So what are you gonna do?
I still can't tell Natsunagi
about that.
I see.
Well, you can handle it as you see fit.
Did you wait long?
Why are you dressed like that?
We can't seem to coordinate outfits, eh?
What's with that jacket? Doesn't suit you.
Saikawa bought it for me.
Ooh, that fact is going
to turn anyone off.
Don't go all "traditional norms" on me.
Oh, excuse me
So, Natsunagi
What is it?
About what happens next
Will you continue to serve
as a legendary detective?
The truth is that, after all,
my confidence is lacking.
This last time, I couldn't
play any active role.
Instead, I was nothing but a burden;
you and Yui-chan had to save me.
What's more, in the end,
I fell back on her.
Ultimately, I'm--
I heard it from Siesta herself
that you lent your body
to her of your own volition.
You're telling me to use your body?
Uh-huh. That's my condition in exchange
for hearing out your wishes.
But is that okay?
This body belongs to you. It's yours
and only yours. He said that, too, right?
I guess so.
These hands, legs from the ends of
my hair down to my toes, it's all mine.
But not the heart.
That's why I want you to switch
your consciousness for mine
and go save Kimizuka,
who's battling the enemy even now.
I've already died. It's not my place to
be involved with him. Furthermore
it might be troubling for Sidekick
if I were to show up again now.
Could be. You can see with your own
eyes whether that happens, right?
That's irresponsible.
Well, you're the one who suddenly
switched into emo-girl mode.
It truly seems like we just
don't see eye to eye.
All right.
I just have to go to him, right?
Umm
Thank you for giving me life,
legendary detective.
You're welcome.
But thank you for making use
of my life, legendary detective.
Your words set Siesta into motion,
and that saved my life.
Natsunagi has gifts that she
herself isn't even aware of.
Natsunagi, at that time, set a spark to
emotions I'd been keeping sealed up.
And she caused me to recall once again
the mission I was meant to fulfill.
During the sapphire case,
Natsunagi saw what Saikawa truly
desired more quickly than I did.
And this time, too, she managed
to move even Siesta with her caring.
Without a doubt,
Natsunagi is capable of proffering
the words or action that a person
most wishes for at some moment.
She has that kind of power. That's why
You're the best legendary detective.
After all, a detective exists to grant
what the client wishes, right?
You're manipulating me.
But yeah. I'll do it.
Because I was asked to as well.
Asked to? You don't mean by Siesta?
Yep.
That was the condition for her to take
on that task for me, just the one time.
Nagisa Natsunagi, Yui Saikawa,
Charlotte Arisaka Anderson
and Kimihiko Kimizuka.
I want the four of you to bring down SPES.
You four carry my inheritance
within; you're my final wish.
Now I see.
At this moment, I knew for certain
I'd taken up the legendary
detective's dying wishes.
Still, none of this changes
my lack of confidence, though.
You're fine. In the lacking confidence
game, I have no superior.
That's the most awful form of
one-upsmanship I've ever heard.
You may also be thinking Siesta was,
unlike yourself, perfect and superhuman,
but she was surprisingly flawed.
Really?
Yes, really. She could get surprisingly
carried away by the moment's mood.
At one point, for some reason,
we wound up together in bed--
Hey, Natsunagi?
Umm, today after this
will you come to my room?
Huh? What are you saying?
Wait, you're not
Which do you think?
Attention passengers.
We cannot provide details
at this time; however
Is there a detective on board?
The detective is already dead. But
her dying wish will never die.
So it's too soon
to call this an epilogue.
Okay, Sidekick. Remember this
The name of the person who will someday
awaken you from your sleep is
Nagisa.
Nagisa Natsunagi.
How stupid are you?
I was sure you'd cry,
Sidekick, cry for me
That's why I meant to have said
my farewells on that boat, but you
Kimi, you like me too,
too much, don't you?
I'm sorry I yanked you around
so much over three years.
I wish I could have more chances
to hear you say, "That's absurd,"
and see your face in profile

many, many times.

And yet I promised you, that time,
that whatever incidents or problems
you got tangled up in with your
trouble-magnet nature, I'd protect you.
So, Kimi, keep sleeping as you are now,
with your mind at ease.
When you next awaken I'll be gone.
But it's okay.
I'm certain that, in my place,
she will save you.
And in my place, I expect
she'll embrace you, too.
In the end, I failed to hand
this over to her, didn't I?
I need to think of a name, too.
A new name for this body in its rebirth
once I've suppressed Hel's consciousness.
Okay, Sidekick. Remember this
The name of the person who will

Could be. You can see with your own

That's irresponsible.
Well, you're the one who suddenly
switched into emo-girl mode.
It truly seems like we just
don't see eye to eye.
All right.
I just have to go to him, right?
Umm
Thank you for giving me life,
legendary detective.
You're welcome.
But thank you for making use
of my life, legendary detective.
Your words set Siesta into motion,
