Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi (2020) s01e05 Episode Script
Episode 5
1
"Italy, Milan"
Now, come out.
Who wants me to find them?
You?
Or you?
I've found you.
I don't want to have meat
for a while.
I've been a vegetarian
since that murder.
- So good!
- So good!
I only make fish dishes
for my bentos.
A customer was disappointed
we had no fried chicken yesterday.
Well, you saw that, after all.
One of the murderers died,
the other one ran away.
- And the mastermind behind them－
- Stop!
Don't say Maria's name!
- You said it yourself.
- Don't make me!
Well, I don't blame you
for being allergic to Maria.
How's Akechi?
He must be quite depressed.
I don't know.
I failed as a detective.
He hasn't come to buy lunch
since that time.
Ichigo, I'm serious.
- Yes?
- Maybe it's a good opportunity.
Opportunity?
Listen, you almost got killed.
Stop getting involved
in Mr Akechi's business.
Your life
is more important than love.
Someday, in front of Goro Akechi,
I'll kill you.
"Edogawa Detective Office"
If you don't want that,
disappear from him and me.
The person who saved my life
was Mr Akechi.
Okay, I'll give Mr Akechi 10 times
the usual energy I give him!
Mr Akechi, you've accumulated
this many letters!
Oh?
Mr Akechi?
Mr Akechi?
What are you here for?
Gosh! Don't scare me!
Your hair is so messy.
Where's the usual snobbish
and confident Mr Akechi?
He's gone missing, unfortunately.
I was just going to ask
for a search warrant.
Well I'll ventilate the room!
"Mary Magdalene"
The weather is so good!
How are you, Mr Detective?
I wonder what the lovely Primavera
will have for her last supper.
Primavera
The last supper.
What is the terrifying deliberate
murder this airmail implies?
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what will be the last thing you eat?
"Episode 5"
You have to be in the sun a bit.
I'm afraid I'm not the type
to enjoy sunlight.
You say that,
but you still came with me.
That's right!
Shopping is the best way
to get refreshed.
This dress is so pretty!
I always help
with your investigation,
so you can at least buy me a dress.
Why do I have to buy you a dress
to refresh my mind?
While your mind is still a mess!
You're 10 times more annoying
than usual today.
Ten times more annoying?
- Excuse me.
- I'm sorry.
Mr Katono?
What a coincidence.
You'll buy Ichigo a dress?
Of course not! This is my daughter.
Come, Koharu. Say hello.
I'm his daughter.
Hello!
- Mr Katono, you have a daughter!
- Yeah.
My parents divorced,
so we meet once a month.
Say nothing uncalled for!
It'll make Daddy sad.
- "Daddy"?
- Got a problem?
What's the matter, Takahashi?
What did you say?
All right! I'll be there now!
Darn
Just go. It's a case, right?
I'll be right back.
Wait at the office of this
red-pickle-coloured guy!
My place isn't a nursery.
Akechi, treat her
to something delicious!
I'm Ichigo Kobayashi,
nice to meet you.
- Ichigou?
- Ichigo.
Can't he make arrangements at work
on days he sees his daughter?
That's his job and that's who he is.
Have some milk tea.
I'll use all my skills to make you
the best French toast.
Not for me, I have no appetite.
There you go again.
I take minerals, water and vitamins.
So I won't die in two weeks.
- I won't have any either.
- You too, Koharu?
French toast is bread,
milk and eggs, right?
It has loads of calories.
How about some salad, then?
Salad?
I'm allergic to prawns,
you won't add any, right?
All right, I won't.
No cheese for me, please.
You two are spoiled!
Look! Ichigo's special "Cobo" salad!
Cobo salad?
A chef of a restaurant in Hollywood,
Mr Cobo, came up with it.
Hence the name.
It's actually called "Cobb" Salad.
- Not bad.
- Right?
- It's tasty.
- It is, right?
Yes!
Ouch!
What? Oh, no! It spilled on you?
I'm so sorry!
- Are you okay? Was it hot?
- I'm fine.
So much has spilt!
I'm so sorry!
Koharu!
Mr Akechi!
- She left?
- Long ago.
Of course,
you kept her waiting so long.
You shouldn't make a promise
you can't keep.
- Right?
- Shut up!
Did you feel anything wrong
with Koharu?
She acted like a normal girl.
I felt she was different from usual.
Maybe she has a new boyfriend?
What
Akechi!
Koharu has a boy
Good job.
It's a guy!
Check if she has a boyfriend!
You're a detective, right?
She never says anything when I ask!
What should I do what you ask?
Try someone else.
Don't do this to me, sir! Mr Akechi!
If you're too meddlesome,
your daughter will hate you.
You made me get worried.
You don't know how tough it is
to not be able
to live with my daughter.
I only see her occasionally.
In the past, I could sense
her growing up little by little.
But now, I can only see
a digest version of it.
That's what happens?
Yeah.
When you fall in love
the moment you meet a lady,
you embrace each other passionately,
you get married
because she's pregnant,
you fight, get divorced,
and lose the child's custody,
and you can only see your child
once a month,
- then you'll understand.
- I don't want to.
Somehow this is sad.
Okay, I will take the job
instead of Mr Akechi.
I'll do a background check
on Koharu.
Ichigou, you'll do it?
It's Ichigo.
I can secretly go see
how she's doing at school.
Please do it for me.
Thank you!
"This is Ichigo"
I don't feel uncomfortable sneaking
into places in disguise lately.
"Year 5 Class 1"
This is Class 1, Koharu's classroom!
There she is!
Koharu is quiet at school?
I'll give you mine.
- You like pudding, don't you?
- Eh?
Oh, gosh! That's why?
Oh, I want one too.
But I gave it to Koharu.
Right?
Wow, thanks for the cute exchange.
Children, stop talking
and eat your lunch.
Yes, Miss
It made Koharu so shy.
I was the one
whose heart started racing.
- Is that so?
- You aren't interested at all.
But I can manage doing
a background check on my own too.
I doubt it.
You have a long way to go
if you want to be a detective.
After hearing what you said,
I can be sure that
she is allergic to dairy products.
She said she didn't want
French toast,
and no cheese in her Cobb Salad.
No cheese for me.
And when the milk tea spilt on her,
she hurried to wash it away.
They're all dairy products.
If symptoms appear
just after she touches them,
then the allergy
must be quite serious.
Why did the boy give Koharu
the pudding, then?
It's harassment if he knew!
What? It's bullying?
It's too early to make assumptions.
However, I guess you'll report
to her father about more than just
the boys around Miss Katono.
"This is also Ichigo"
Hey, let's play video games
when we go home.
Okay.
- I want a plush toy.
- Oh?
Koharu!
You didn't eat the cheese
at lunch today again.
It pisses me off
that only you get to be picky.
- Right?
- Right?
Don't ignore me!
Hey!
You guys are so nasty! Are you okay?
- What, old hag?
- Old hag?
Why?
I just walked past.
The old hag wears a wig!
- Give it back, twerps!
- Wig monster!
Come on.
Koharu, I'll give you cheese.
Take it out!
Take it out!
- Please! Take it out!
- Koharu!
- Take it out!
- What's wrong? What's wrong?
- What did you do?
- My hand slipped!
Are you okay?
What did you do?
Are you okay? What happened?
What Why? Gosh, Koharu!
Mr Akechi!
- Call an ambulance!
- Yes.
Okay, Kurukku! Call an ambulance!
Calling an ambulance.
Hello, a primary school girl
has an allergy attack!
Yes! The place
Let's go!
It's the park near the school!
Yes, it's
Yes. She has rashes on her face.
Like I mean
Please come at once!
Koharu!
The doctor just gave her
an injection and she's stable now.
Why did she
- Koharu?
- Koharu!
You didn't tell me
Koharu has an allergy.
She'd had milk normally before.
She started being allergic to
dairy products two years ago.
She's prone to allergies
to begin with.
Stuff like buckwheat and nut
But you've been busy working.
If you had told me
You didn't bother to listen!
It's important!
I'd make time for that.
You mean,
you've never made time for us
because it wasn't important?
When Koharu had a fever
or when she had her entrance exam,
you didn't make time
because those weren't important?
- Don't change the subject.
- That's what this is about.
Koharu knows too,
that's why she didn't talk to you
about it.
You got it wrong.
It was a prank when the boy
put the piece of cheese in my top.
Allergy can cost you your life.
It's more than a prank.
You should tell your parents
about being bullied.
Don't tell Daddy and Mummy.
My health is bad,
so I've been making them worried.
My parents got divorced
because of me.
They always fight because of me.
If they find out
I'm being bullied
I don't want to make them worry
more than I already have.
"Department of Paediatrics"
Hey. You were at the park.
I'm a private detective,
I never forget a face I've seen.
You came because you're worried
about Koharu, right?
Come anytime when you feel like it.
I'll let my assistant prepare
some tasty fried Chikuwa.
Mr Katono, you'll get us in trouble!
What's the matter?
Are you Koharu's class teacher?
- Who in this class bullied Koharu?
- Bully?
Sorry, that was nonsense.
Was it you?
Did you put cheese in Koharu's top?
Was it you?
All right!
All of you, close your eyes!
Ten.
Nine.
- Eight
- You're scaring them!
The children told me
what happened to Koharu.
They were only playing around.
- Play－
- Of course, it's much more serious.
So I've warned them
not to do it again.
What about the bullying?
There is no bullying!
Or did Koharu herself tell you?
No, she didn't
I'm sorry!
Children, this guy is an illusion!
Class, say nothing you shouldn't.
Koharu, reheat your supper
when you eat it.
"Year 5 Class 1 Girls"
I wish Koharu could come.
She can't enjoy it
because of her allergy.
She can read this too.
Don't ignore me.
What are you doing?
She's disgusting!
She won't come to school again,
so it's fine.
It's okay, right?
I want to die.
"Primavera
Primary five student"
"I want to die.
Being alive is pointless."
"People write this
to get attention only."
You're hurt so deeply,
I guess you can't hold all these
in your little chest anymore.
Let's have a chat if you like.
"Maria's Room"
Thank you. I've been waiting
for you to come and see me.
"Edogawa Detective Office
Goro Akechi"
Hey.
I'm glad you came.
Sir
How is Koharu?
Go and visit her if you're worried.
If I do that, I'll also
Be bullied, you mean?
Until the first term,
Koharu and our class
got along normally.
But since the second term,
when Miss Kaneki became
our temporary class teacher
Koharu has allergies,
so she often doesn't finish
her lunch.
Then, Miss Kaneki said
that she didn't have allergies
and she was just being picky.
That's "school lunch harassment"!
You said an unusual term again.
Gradually, in our class,
everyone thinks it's okay
to tease Koharu.
Miss Kaneki doesn't get angry
when she sees that.
How could they?
And I
I can't help Koharu either.
Poor girl.
That's why you wrote
that you wanted to die?
But it would be a shame
if you died alone.
You have only one life,
they stole it from you,
and the classmates who bullied you
will live free of care.
Isn't that unforgivable?
But
Christ was betrayed
by his disciple Judas,
bore the sin himself and died.
But you're different.
The traitors tortured you.
Bring them all along with you
when you die.
All of them?
Your classmates and your teacher.
Kill them.
If they all disappear,
nobody will think
you're the murderer.
But how do I do that?
We'll do it tomorrow.
You don't need to do anything.
I've found you.
I'll try to contact Koharu.
Okay, Kurukku,
send a message to Primavera.
Kurukku!
- Primavera's contact details
- Primavera?
It's Koharu's handle. Look.
"Primavera"
Is it from Maria?
"Lovely Primavera"
"Primavera" means "spring"
in Italian.
This Primavera means Koharu?
Maria is narrowing down her targets
to people around me.
Someday, in front of Goro Akechi,
I'll kill you.
The airmail
When did it arrive?
I think it was last week Yes,
when Mr Katono brought Koharu here.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why do I need to?
Ichigou Kobayashi, I'm hungry.
Make me fried chikuwa
wrapped in seaweed.
He's suddenly full of life.
Full of life?
Do you know how I feel
when I'm here?
Somehow
You're 10 times more energetic
than usual when Maria is involved.
Maria is
special to me.
Special to you?
I see.
Do whatever you want then!
Oh, Ichigou.
I wanted to thank Ichigou, but
- Thank her?
- Yeah.
I worried for nothing.
Look at this!
"Daddy,
sorry for making you worried.
Thank you for everything."
She's never sent messages like this
to me.
I'm so happy.
Mr Katono.
Your daughter told me
to keep it a secret,
but I can't do that now.
But
What's this about then?
I'm sorry, but it only seems like
a suicide note to me.
- Suicide note?
- Mr Katono!
A man barricaded himself
in a warehouse in Shinagawa!
What? At a time like this?
Let me take care of this.
I'll call if anything happens.
Okay, I'm counting on you.
Hey.
Mum has gone to work,
and she's not home.
Well then, can we talk here,
cute little Primavera?
Are you feeling better now?
I'll go to school tomorrow.
You're going to school,
so you've sorted out your feelings?
Yes.
You lied, didn't you?
You've been bullied for a long time.
You can't sort your feelings out
so easily.
If you still go to school
despite that,
there must be another reason.
Am I right?
No reason.
It's Maria?
I know her.
She gives hope to people
who feel life is hopeless.
However,
the hope she gives is twisted.
Will you tell me?
What is Maria trying to do?
I don't know any Maria.
I see.
I'm sorry.
However,
many people are worried about you.
Don't forget that.
Oh, it's Koharu!
Why did she come?
She shouldn't come.
Don't come here.
"Ichigo Deli"
"Kobayashi Bentos"
"Are you having your meals?
Mum made me curry."
"Today: Are you okay? I'm waiting
for your text. Koharu, please text."
You called at the perfect time
last night.
Are you ready, Nigou?
Will you promise me then?
Promise me you won't put
Ichigo's life in danger again.
I won't.
I should respect how much
you love Ichigou as a friend.
Well then, Nigou's operation begins.
"Year 5 Class 1"
It doesn't smell weird.
Nothing is out of place for now.
Listen, please stay there
and keep watch
to see
if anyone suspicious sneaks in.
Even if you say that,
I can't tell who is who here.
What? Koharu's there?
We're at a standoff since the guy
locked himself in yesterday.
Mr Katono!
Oh, Takahashi.
I'll go away for a while.
What? The SAT has charged in,
and the suspect ran to the roof.
What did you say?
I'll go there
right after I settle this.
- What's the matter?
- Well
I'm worried about Koharu.
She doesn't reply when I text her.
Could Maria already have
I'm going to stop Maria's plan.
Plan?
It seems Maria is plotting
not the last supper
but the last school meal.
Please let me help.
If there is something I can do
- Don't worry about that.
- But
I have enough help.
My other excellent assistant
has come.
"Shokuiku Milk"
His other assistant?
Hey.
It's been a while,
maestro of Harajuku.
Welcome to Maria's room.
You're a talented chef,
but you seem to have forgotten
how to use a knife.
How much do you
want to make Rossini cry?
Give me your mobile.
Hi, Mr Detective.
- Have you cheered up?
- Maria
You seemed to be depressed,
so I've been thinking hard about
how to cheer you up in my own way.
Is your target Primavera
or the people who bullied Primavera?
Both of them.
Very soon,
the bell announcing the last supper
will ring.
Chef.
All right.
You want him to poison the food?
Mr Detective.
Chef isn't the only one
who waits on me hand and foot.
I'm sorry.
It shouldn't kill you.
"Calling: Ichigo"
Don't come any closer!
Just give up. You can't escape
no matter what you do.
Shut up!
You must have family too.
I also have an ex-wife
and a tomboy daughter.
She's turned 11 years old though.
She looks like me, right?
I still remember the time
when my daughter was born.
I couldn't attend the birth
because I had to work.
At the place they called
newborn nursery,
I saw her face for the first time.
There were newborn babies
lying in rows.
But to me,
she looked extraordinarily cute.
She's probably a lot cuter
than your child.
No, I'm sure my daughter is cuter.
Yes, that's right!
Of course, you idiot!
Parents know
how cute their children are
more than anyone else!
Only their parents know!
The children too,
they see how good their parents are
more than anyone else!
That's what I believe.
So, this
Don't let your children see you
doing something so shameful!
You don't want them to see that,
right?
Arrest him!
Arrest him now!
Mr Katono
you showed him the wrong photo.
I didn't.
No detective would leak
his daughter's personal data.
Koharu!
Now, Mr Akechi.
Let's wait
until the main dish is ready.
Today's lunch is a lot more－
When will you stop doing this?
Didn't I tell you?
Until only you and me
are left in this world.
It's going to take quite long.
But I've made up my mind.
I'll dream about
the coming of that day
while I enjoy the process.
In other words,
your method has become your goal,
and you're one of the most foolish
people in the world.
You want to make your child angry?
My child?
You gave birth to me in this world.
You're my true parent.
Yes, I am.
A parent would think
their child is adorable.
Many children will die
in the last school meal you set up.
The children have parents too.
Yes.
What are your thoughts about that?
Regarding that
It's "I understand how you feel,"
I think.
If you say
"you're my child
to whom I gave birth,"
then listen to your parent.
Stop this.
Children go through
a rebellious phase.
Game over.
The stupid classmates who hurt
a defenceless girl deserve to die.
"Year 5 Class 1"
It's done.
Thank you.
"Ichigo Deli"
Let's go.
"Year 5 Class 1"
All right,
the chorus of agonised cries
will begin soon.
See you again, Mr Detective.
Hey.
Anybody who gets involved with you
dies, one by one.
Please put your hands together.
Bon appetit.
Bon appetit!
No!
Don't eat it!
Don't eat the school meal,
it's poisoned.
What the heck? That's creepy!
It's true!
Koharu, sit down.
Sorry, Ms Kaneki, but don't eat it.
Koharu, come with me.
Class, eat your lunch.
- Don't eat it!
- That's enough!
Let's eat.
It's tasty!
There is no poison.
Koharu!
Daddy?
You've eaten?
Get it out!
Now! Vomit it out!
I'll call the police!
I am the police!
It's possible someone poisoned
this class' lunch.
Is that right, Koharu?
- No way
- Yes!
- Class, be quiet!
- It's true!
No.
What he said is true.
Who are you?
Your school meal
is probably poisoned
with something called histamine.
If you ingest histamine,
first, your lips and tongue,
then your limbs
will start to go numb.
Symptoms like vomiting,
abdominal pain, diarrhoea,
irregular pulse and drop
of blood pressure will appear.
Then it causes muscle spasms,
and lastly,
respiratory failure and death.
If someone is seriously
allergic to some food,
when they ingest the allergen,
similar symptoms appear.
Some of you should have seen Koharu
suffer because of that.
Now
Everyone should have
those symptoms soon as well.
Are you okay?
- Vomit it out!
- Get it out! Come on!
It's just spicy, isn't it?
Don't mess with me!
This is how tough every day is
for someone who has allergy.
Do you know how dangerous it is
to force them to eat the allergen?
It's a good chance
to experience it yourselves.
This is learning through experience.
Right
Ms Kaneki?
You
Well, why don't you try it too?
Oh? You have no appetite?
In that case, I'll eat it for you.
Hey.
Hey, Akechi!
Hey!
I'd prefer it with one more
pinch of salt, perhaps?
Are you crazy?
Excuse me
Have you had your lunch?
Ichigou?
It's Ichigo.
The lunch you're having
is for Year 5 Class 2.
We spilt the curry
for Year 5 Class 1 just now.
What about the poison?
We swapped the school meal.
Momoko told me.
Oh, no wonder nobody
"Year 5 Class 2"
feels unwell at all.
Then
Thank goodness
Koharu, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going to let you off
after doing this!
But, Ms Kaneki,
I heard that it was your school meal
harassment that started everything.
What?
Well, my only hobby is eating.
While food can make people happy,
it can also turn into
a weapon sometimes.
If you force a child who has
an allergy to eat an allergen,
it's child abuse.
What you are doing
is exactly the same
as feeding her poison.
It's enough, Akechi.
Ms Kaneki
children.
You've gone through something
frightening because of Koharu.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive her.
Come here, Koharu.
Apologise!
I'm sorry.
You know,
I've been working hard on my job
for my family.
That's what I thought.
I thought I've been
but I was wrong.
I
I've been using work as an excuse
to run away from my family.
I don't mean
my family isn't important to me.
But gradually, I forgot
how to communicate with you.
Sorry.
Koharu, I'm sorry.
From now on,
I'll stop running away
and get to know you more.
It's fine.
I don't want to make you worry.
Let me worry!
I want to worry about you, Koharu.
When you're at a crime scene,
will you come at once if I call?
What?
But I
I guess that's what's good
about you, Daddy.
Huh?
You never lie
to get out of something.
Is that what's good about me?
Or, rather, Mum said it was
the only good thing about you.
Yeah?
Gosh! I just managed
to swap the curry in time.
That was difficult!
"Year 5 Class 1"
Put the food down!
It should've been easy
if Nigou hadn't caused an accident.
So, what did Year 5 Class
2 have for lunch then?
I made stewed seafood
in tomato sauce for my bentos.
It was in my van and they had that.
In fact, it made them quite happy.
Oh, by the way,
I'll charge you for the bentos.
It's about 30 servings.
Do you accept credit card?
Oh, you must be hungry.
I'll make you something.
Will fried chikuwa
wrapped in seaweed do?
Wow, I'm looking forward to it.
Sorry, Miss Maria.
Oh?
No need to apologise.
But the private detective
stopped our plan.
It's the first time
we managed to stop Maria's plan.
Isn't it great?
Yeah, but Maria is definitely
closing in on me.
By the way,
I haven't answered your question.
Did I ask you a question?
It's that question.
Do you know how I feel
when I'm here?
Oh, that
Don't bother, I've forgotten it.
I don't know if this can answer
your question or not
but no need to worry.
I will protect myself.
You too.
I'll protect you.
He won this time.
I wanted to cheer Mr Detective up,
that's why I let him win.
You let him?
Yes, I did.
He should've started to be aware
of his true self.
Very soon
Very soon,
we can become Adam and Eve.
The Gourmet Detective
meets a potential wife,
but the lady is killed by poison.
- Help!
- I'm back.
It's the Maria Family's scheme?
It's a murder
disguised as an accident.
You'll protect Mr Detective?
Akechi's life is in danger!
- Don't come near!
- I dream about our last supper.
"Italy, Milan"
Now, come out.
Who wants me to find them?
You?
Or you?
I've found you.
I don't want to have meat
for a while.
I've been a vegetarian
since that murder.
- So good!
- So good!
I only make fish dishes
for my bentos.
A customer was disappointed
we had no fried chicken yesterday.
Well, you saw that, after all.
One of the murderers died,
the other one ran away.
- And the mastermind behind them－
- Stop!
Don't say Maria's name!
- You said it yourself.
- Don't make me!
Well, I don't blame you
for being allergic to Maria.
How's Akechi?
He must be quite depressed.
I don't know.
I failed as a detective.
He hasn't come to buy lunch
since that time.
Ichigo, I'm serious.
- Yes?
- Maybe it's a good opportunity.
Opportunity?
Listen, you almost got killed.
Stop getting involved
in Mr Akechi's business.
Your life
is more important than love.
Someday, in front of Goro Akechi,
I'll kill you.
"Edogawa Detective Office"
If you don't want that,
disappear from him and me.
The person who saved my life
was Mr Akechi.
Okay, I'll give Mr Akechi 10 times
the usual energy I give him!
Mr Akechi, you've accumulated
this many letters!
Oh?
Mr Akechi?
Mr Akechi?
What are you here for?
Gosh! Don't scare me!
Your hair is so messy.
Where's the usual snobbish
and confident Mr Akechi?
He's gone missing, unfortunately.
I was just going to ask
for a search warrant.
Well I'll ventilate the room!
"Mary Magdalene"
The weather is so good!
How are you, Mr Detective?
I wonder what the lovely Primavera
will have for her last supper.
Primavera
The last supper.
What is the terrifying deliberate
murder this airmail implies?
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what will be the last thing you eat?
"Episode 5"
You have to be in the sun a bit.
I'm afraid I'm not the type
to enjoy sunlight.
You say that,
but you still came with me.
That's right!
Shopping is the best way
to get refreshed.
This dress is so pretty!
I always help
with your investigation,
so you can at least buy me a dress.
Why do I have to buy you a dress
to refresh my mind?
While your mind is still a mess!
You're 10 times more annoying
than usual today.
Ten times more annoying?
- Excuse me.
- I'm sorry.
Mr Katono?
What a coincidence.
You'll buy Ichigo a dress?
Of course not! This is my daughter.
Come, Koharu. Say hello.
I'm his daughter.
Hello!
- Mr Katono, you have a daughter!
- Yeah.
My parents divorced,
so we meet once a month.
Say nothing uncalled for!
It'll make Daddy sad.
- "Daddy"?
- Got a problem?
What's the matter, Takahashi?
What did you say?
All right! I'll be there now!
Darn
Just go. It's a case, right?
I'll be right back.
Wait at the office of this
red-pickle-coloured guy!
My place isn't a nursery.
Akechi, treat her
to something delicious!
I'm Ichigo Kobayashi,
nice to meet you.
- Ichigou?
- Ichigo.
Can't he make arrangements at work
on days he sees his daughter?
That's his job and that's who he is.
Have some milk tea.
I'll use all my skills to make you
the best French toast.
Not for me, I have no appetite.
There you go again.
I take minerals, water and vitamins.
So I won't die in two weeks.
- I won't have any either.
- You too, Koharu?
French toast is bread,
milk and eggs, right?
It has loads of calories.
How about some salad, then?
Salad?
I'm allergic to prawns,
you won't add any, right?
All right, I won't.
No cheese for me, please.
You two are spoiled!
Look! Ichigo's special "Cobo" salad!
Cobo salad?
A chef of a restaurant in Hollywood,
Mr Cobo, came up with it.
Hence the name.
It's actually called "Cobb" Salad.
- Not bad.
- Right?
- It's tasty.
- It is, right?
Yes!
Ouch!
What? Oh, no! It spilled on you?
I'm so sorry!
- Are you okay? Was it hot?
- I'm fine.
So much has spilt!
I'm so sorry!
Koharu!
Mr Akechi!
- She left?
- Long ago.
Of course,
you kept her waiting so long.
You shouldn't make a promise
you can't keep.
- Right?
- Shut up!
Did you feel anything wrong
with Koharu?
She acted like a normal girl.
I felt she was different from usual.
Maybe she has a new boyfriend?
What
Akechi!
Koharu has a boy
Good job.
It's a guy!
Check if she has a boyfriend!
You're a detective, right?
She never says anything when I ask!
What should I do what you ask?
Try someone else.
Don't do this to me, sir! Mr Akechi!
If you're too meddlesome,
your daughter will hate you.
You made me get worried.
You don't know how tough it is
to not be able
to live with my daughter.
I only see her occasionally.
In the past, I could sense
her growing up little by little.
But now, I can only see
a digest version of it.
That's what happens?
Yeah.
When you fall in love
the moment you meet a lady,
you embrace each other passionately,
you get married
because she's pregnant,
you fight, get divorced,
and lose the child's custody,
and you can only see your child
once a month,
- then you'll understand.
- I don't want to.
Somehow this is sad.
Okay, I will take the job
instead of Mr Akechi.
I'll do a background check
on Koharu.
Ichigou, you'll do it?
It's Ichigo.
I can secretly go see
how she's doing at school.
Please do it for me.
Thank you!
"This is Ichigo"
I don't feel uncomfortable sneaking
into places in disguise lately.
"Year 5 Class 1"
This is Class 1, Koharu's classroom!
There she is!
Koharu is quiet at school?
I'll give you mine.
- You like pudding, don't you?
- Eh?
Oh, gosh! That's why?
Oh, I want one too.
But I gave it to Koharu.
Right?
Wow, thanks for the cute exchange.
Children, stop talking
and eat your lunch.
Yes, Miss
It made Koharu so shy.
I was the one
whose heart started racing.
- Is that so?
- You aren't interested at all.
But I can manage doing
a background check on my own too.
I doubt it.
You have a long way to go
if you want to be a detective.
After hearing what you said,
I can be sure that
she is allergic to dairy products.
She said she didn't want
French toast,
and no cheese in her Cobb Salad.
No cheese for me.
And when the milk tea spilt on her,
she hurried to wash it away.
They're all dairy products.
If symptoms appear
just after she touches them,
then the allergy
must be quite serious.
Why did the boy give Koharu
the pudding, then?
It's harassment if he knew!
What? It's bullying?
It's too early to make assumptions.
However, I guess you'll report
to her father about more than just
the boys around Miss Katono.
"This is also Ichigo"
Hey, let's play video games
when we go home.
Okay.
- I want a plush toy.
- Oh?
Koharu!
You didn't eat the cheese
at lunch today again.
It pisses me off
that only you get to be picky.
- Right?
- Right?
Don't ignore me!
Hey!
You guys are so nasty! Are you okay?
- What, old hag?
- Old hag?
Why?
I just walked past.
The old hag wears a wig!
- Give it back, twerps!
- Wig monster!
Come on.
Koharu, I'll give you cheese.
Take it out!
Take it out!
- Please! Take it out!
- Koharu!
- Take it out!
- What's wrong? What's wrong?
- What did you do?
- My hand slipped!
Are you okay?
What did you do?
Are you okay? What happened?
What Why? Gosh, Koharu!
Mr Akechi!
- Call an ambulance!
- Yes.
Okay, Kurukku! Call an ambulance!
Calling an ambulance.
Hello, a primary school girl
has an allergy attack!
Yes! The place
Let's go!
It's the park near the school!
Yes, it's
Yes. She has rashes on her face.
Like I mean
Please come at once!
Koharu!
The doctor just gave her
an injection and she's stable now.
Why did she
- Koharu?
- Koharu!
You didn't tell me
Koharu has an allergy.
She'd had milk normally before.
She started being allergic to
dairy products two years ago.
She's prone to allergies
to begin with.
Stuff like buckwheat and nut
But you've been busy working.
If you had told me
You didn't bother to listen!
It's important!
I'd make time for that.
You mean,
you've never made time for us
because it wasn't important?
When Koharu had a fever
or when she had her entrance exam,
you didn't make time
because those weren't important?
- Don't change the subject.
- That's what this is about.
Koharu knows too,
that's why she didn't talk to you
about it.
You got it wrong.
It was a prank when the boy
put the piece of cheese in my top.
Allergy can cost you your life.
It's more than a prank.
You should tell your parents
about being bullied.
Don't tell Daddy and Mummy.
My health is bad,
so I've been making them worried.
My parents got divorced
because of me.
They always fight because of me.
If they find out
I'm being bullied
I don't want to make them worry
more than I already have.
"Department of Paediatrics"
Hey. You were at the park.
I'm a private detective,
I never forget a face I've seen.
You came because you're worried
about Koharu, right?
Come anytime when you feel like it.
I'll let my assistant prepare
some tasty fried Chikuwa.
Mr Katono, you'll get us in trouble!
What's the matter?
Are you Koharu's class teacher?
- Who in this class bullied Koharu?
- Bully?
Sorry, that was nonsense.
Was it you?
Did you put cheese in Koharu's top?
Was it you?
All right!
All of you, close your eyes!
Ten.
Nine.
- Eight
- You're scaring them!
The children told me
what happened to Koharu.
They were only playing around.
- Play－
- Of course, it's much more serious.
So I've warned them
not to do it again.
What about the bullying?
There is no bullying!
Or did Koharu herself tell you?
No, she didn't
I'm sorry!
Children, this guy is an illusion!
Class, say nothing you shouldn't.
Koharu, reheat your supper
when you eat it.
"Year 5 Class 1 Girls"
I wish Koharu could come.
She can't enjoy it
because of her allergy.
She can read this too.
Don't ignore me.
What are you doing?
She's disgusting!
She won't come to school again,
so it's fine.
It's okay, right?
I want to die.
"Primavera
Primary five student"
"I want to die.
Being alive is pointless."
"People write this
to get attention only."
You're hurt so deeply,
I guess you can't hold all these
in your little chest anymore.
Let's have a chat if you like.
"Maria's Room"
Thank you. I've been waiting
for you to come and see me.
"Edogawa Detective Office
Goro Akechi"
Hey.
I'm glad you came.
Sir
How is Koharu?
Go and visit her if you're worried.
If I do that, I'll also
Be bullied, you mean?
Until the first term,
Koharu and our class
got along normally.
But since the second term,
when Miss Kaneki became
our temporary class teacher
Koharu has allergies,
so she often doesn't finish
her lunch.
Then, Miss Kaneki said
that she didn't have allergies
and she was just being picky.
That's "school lunch harassment"!
You said an unusual term again.
Gradually, in our class,
everyone thinks it's okay
to tease Koharu.
Miss Kaneki doesn't get angry
when she sees that.
How could they?
And I
I can't help Koharu either.
Poor girl.
That's why you wrote
that you wanted to die?
But it would be a shame
if you died alone.
You have only one life,
they stole it from you,
and the classmates who bullied you
will live free of care.
Isn't that unforgivable?
But
Christ was betrayed
by his disciple Judas,
bore the sin himself and died.
But you're different.
The traitors tortured you.
Bring them all along with you
when you die.
All of them?
Your classmates and your teacher.
Kill them.
If they all disappear,
nobody will think
you're the murderer.
But how do I do that?
We'll do it tomorrow.
You don't need to do anything.
I've found you.
I'll try to contact Koharu.
Okay, Kurukku,
send a message to Primavera.
Kurukku!
- Primavera's contact details
- Primavera?
It's Koharu's handle. Look.
"Primavera"
Is it from Maria?
"Lovely Primavera"
"Primavera" means "spring"
in Italian.
This Primavera means Koharu?
Maria is narrowing down her targets
to people around me.
Someday, in front of Goro Akechi,
I'll kill you.
The airmail
When did it arrive?
I think it was last week Yes,
when Mr Katono brought Koharu here.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why do I need to?
Ichigou Kobayashi, I'm hungry.
Make me fried chikuwa
wrapped in seaweed.
He's suddenly full of life.
Full of life?
Do you know how I feel
when I'm here?
Somehow
You're 10 times more energetic
than usual when Maria is involved.
Maria is
special to me.
Special to you?
I see.
Do whatever you want then!
Oh, Ichigou.
I wanted to thank Ichigou, but
- Thank her?
- Yeah.
I worried for nothing.
Look at this!
"Daddy,
sorry for making you worried.
Thank you for everything."
She's never sent messages like this
to me.
I'm so happy.
Mr Katono.
Your daughter told me
to keep it a secret,
but I can't do that now.
But
What's this about then?
I'm sorry, but it only seems like
a suicide note to me.
- Suicide note?
- Mr Katono!
A man barricaded himself
in a warehouse in Shinagawa!
What? At a time like this?
Let me take care of this.
I'll call if anything happens.
Okay, I'm counting on you.
Hey.
Mum has gone to work,
and she's not home.
Well then, can we talk here,
cute little Primavera?
Are you feeling better now?
I'll go to school tomorrow.
You're going to school,
so you've sorted out your feelings?
Yes.
You lied, didn't you?
You've been bullied for a long time.
You can't sort your feelings out
so easily.
If you still go to school
despite that,
there must be another reason.
Am I right?
No reason.
It's Maria?
I know her.
She gives hope to people
who feel life is hopeless.
However,
the hope she gives is twisted.
Will you tell me?
What is Maria trying to do?
I don't know any Maria.
I see.
I'm sorry.
However,
many people are worried about you.
Don't forget that.
Oh, it's Koharu!
Why did she come?
She shouldn't come.
Don't come here.
"Ichigo Deli"
"Kobayashi Bentos"
"Are you having your meals?
Mum made me curry."
"Today: Are you okay? I'm waiting
for your text. Koharu, please text."
You called at the perfect time
last night.
Are you ready, Nigou?
Will you promise me then?
Promise me you won't put
Ichigo's life in danger again.
I won't.
I should respect how much
you love Ichigou as a friend.
Well then, Nigou's operation begins.
"Year 5 Class 1"
It doesn't smell weird.
Nothing is out of place for now.
Listen, please stay there
and keep watch
to see
if anyone suspicious sneaks in.
Even if you say that,
I can't tell who is who here.
What? Koharu's there?
We're at a standoff since the guy
locked himself in yesterday.
Mr Katono!
Oh, Takahashi.
I'll go away for a while.
What? The SAT has charged in,
and the suspect ran to the roof.
What did you say?
I'll go there
right after I settle this.
- What's the matter?
- Well
I'm worried about Koharu.
She doesn't reply when I text her.
Could Maria already have
I'm going to stop Maria's plan.
Plan?
It seems Maria is plotting
not the last supper
but the last school meal.
Please let me help.
If there is something I can do
- Don't worry about that.
- But
I have enough help.
My other excellent assistant
has come.
"Shokuiku Milk"
His other assistant?
Hey.
It's been a while,
maestro of Harajuku.
Welcome to Maria's room.
You're a talented chef,
but you seem to have forgotten
how to use a knife.
How much do you
want to make Rossini cry?
Give me your mobile.
Hi, Mr Detective.
- Have you cheered up?
- Maria
You seemed to be depressed,
so I've been thinking hard about
how to cheer you up in my own way.
Is your target Primavera
or the people who bullied Primavera?
Both of them.
Very soon,
the bell announcing the last supper
will ring.
Chef.
All right.
You want him to poison the food?
Mr Detective.
Chef isn't the only one
who waits on me hand and foot.
I'm sorry.
It shouldn't kill you.
"Calling: Ichigo"
Don't come any closer!
Just give up. You can't escape
no matter what you do.
Shut up!
You must have family too.
I also have an ex-wife
and a tomboy daughter.
She's turned 11 years old though.
She looks like me, right?
I still remember the time
when my daughter was born.
I couldn't attend the birth
because I had to work.
At the place they called
newborn nursery,
I saw her face for the first time.
There were newborn babies
lying in rows.
But to me,
she looked extraordinarily cute.
She's probably a lot cuter
than your child.
No, I'm sure my daughter is cuter.
Yes, that's right!
Of course, you idiot!
Parents know
how cute their children are
more than anyone else!
Only their parents know!
The children too,
they see how good their parents are
more than anyone else!
That's what I believe.
So, this
Don't let your children see you
doing something so shameful!
You don't want them to see that,
right?
Arrest him!
Arrest him now!
Mr Katono
you showed him the wrong photo.
I didn't.
No detective would leak
his daughter's personal data.
Koharu!
Now, Mr Akechi.
Let's wait
until the main dish is ready.
Today's lunch is a lot more－
When will you stop doing this?
Didn't I tell you?
Until only you and me
are left in this world.
It's going to take quite long.
But I've made up my mind.
I'll dream about
the coming of that day
while I enjoy the process.
In other words,
your method has become your goal,
and you're one of the most foolish
people in the world.
You want to make your child angry?
My child?
You gave birth to me in this world.
You're my true parent.
Yes, I am.
A parent would think
their child is adorable.
Many children will die
in the last school meal you set up.
The children have parents too.
Yes.
What are your thoughts about that?
Regarding that
It's "I understand how you feel,"
I think.
If you say
"you're my child
to whom I gave birth,"
then listen to your parent.
Stop this.
Children go through
a rebellious phase.
Game over.
The stupid classmates who hurt
a defenceless girl deserve to die.
"Year 5 Class 1"
It's done.
Thank you.
"Ichigo Deli"
Let's go.
"Year 5 Class 1"
All right,
the chorus of agonised cries
will begin soon.
See you again, Mr Detective.
Hey.
Anybody who gets involved with you
dies, one by one.
Please put your hands together.
Bon appetit.
Bon appetit!
No!
Don't eat it!
Don't eat the school meal,
it's poisoned.
What the heck? That's creepy!
It's true!
Koharu, sit down.
Sorry, Ms Kaneki, but don't eat it.
Koharu, come with me.
Class, eat your lunch.
- Don't eat it!
- That's enough!
Let's eat.
It's tasty!
There is no poison.
Koharu!
Daddy?
You've eaten?
Get it out!
Now! Vomit it out!
I'll call the police!
I am the police!
It's possible someone poisoned
this class' lunch.
Is that right, Koharu?
- No way
- Yes!
- Class, be quiet!
- It's true!
No.
What he said is true.
Who are you?
Your school meal
is probably poisoned
with something called histamine.
If you ingest histamine,
first, your lips and tongue,
then your limbs
will start to go numb.
Symptoms like vomiting,
abdominal pain, diarrhoea,
irregular pulse and drop
of blood pressure will appear.
Then it causes muscle spasms,
and lastly,
respiratory failure and death.
If someone is seriously
allergic to some food,
when they ingest the allergen,
similar symptoms appear.
Some of you should have seen Koharu
suffer because of that.
Now
Everyone should have
those symptoms soon as well.
Are you okay?
- Vomit it out!
- Get it out! Come on!
It's just spicy, isn't it?
Don't mess with me!
This is how tough every day is
for someone who has allergy.
Do you know how dangerous it is
to force them to eat the allergen?
It's a good chance
to experience it yourselves.
This is learning through experience.
Right
Ms Kaneki?
You
Well, why don't you try it too?
Oh? You have no appetite?
In that case, I'll eat it for you.
Hey.
Hey, Akechi!
Hey!
I'd prefer it with one more
pinch of salt, perhaps?
Are you crazy?
Excuse me
Have you had your lunch?
Ichigou?
It's Ichigo.
The lunch you're having
is for Year 5 Class 2.
We spilt the curry
for Year 5 Class 1 just now.
What about the poison?
We swapped the school meal.
Momoko told me.
Oh, no wonder nobody
"Year 5 Class 2"
feels unwell at all.
Then
Thank goodness
Koharu, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm not going to let you off
after doing this!
But, Ms Kaneki,
I heard that it was your school meal
harassment that started everything.
What?
Well, my only hobby is eating.
While food can make people happy,
it can also turn into
a weapon sometimes.
If you force a child who has
an allergy to eat an allergen,
it's child abuse.
What you are doing
is exactly the same
as feeding her poison.
It's enough, Akechi.
Ms Kaneki
children.
You've gone through something
frightening because of Koharu.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive her.
Come here, Koharu.
Apologise!
I'm sorry.
You know,
I've been working hard on my job
for my family.
That's what I thought.
I thought I've been
but I was wrong.
I
I've been using work as an excuse
to run away from my family.
I don't mean
my family isn't important to me.
But gradually, I forgot
how to communicate with you.
Sorry.
Koharu, I'm sorry.
From now on,
I'll stop running away
and get to know you more.
It's fine.
I don't want to make you worry.
Let me worry!
I want to worry about you, Koharu.
When you're at a crime scene,
will you come at once if I call?
What?
But I
I guess that's what's good
about you, Daddy.
Huh?
You never lie
to get out of something.
Is that what's good about me?
Or, rather, Mum said it was
the only good thing about you.
Yeah?
Gosh! I just managed
to swap the curry in time.
That was difficult!
"Year 5 Class 1"
Put the food down!
It should've been easy
if Nigou hadn't caused an accident.
So, what did Year 5 Class
2 have for lunch then?
I made stewed seafood
in tomato sauce for my bentos.
It was in my van and they had that.
In fact, it made them quite happy.
Oh, by the way,
I'll charge you for the bentos.
It's about 30 servings.
Do you accept credit card?
Oh, you must be hungry.
I'll make you something.
Will fried chikuwa
wrapped in seaweed do?
Wow, I'm looking forward to it.
Sorry, Miss Maria.
Oh?
No need to apologise.
But the private detective
stopped our plan.
It's the first time
we managed to stop Maria's plan.
Isn't it great?
Yeah, but Maria is definitely
closing in on me.
By the way,
I haven't answered your question.
Did I ask you a question?
It's that question.
Do you know how I feel
when I'm here?
Oh, that
Don't bother, I've forgotten it.
I don't know if this can answer
your question or not
but no need to worry.
I will protect myself.
You too.
I'll protect you.
He won this time.
I wanted to cheer Mr Detective up,
that's why I let him win.
You let him?
Yes, I did.
He should've started to be aware
of his true self.
Very soon
Very soon,
we can become Adam and Eve.
The Gourmet Detective
meets a potential wife,
but the lady is killed by poison.
- Help!
- I'm back.
It's the Maria Family's scheme?
It's a murder
disguised as an accident.
You'll protect Mr Detective?
Akechi's life is in danger!
- Don't come near!
- I dream about our last supper.
