Gourmet Detective Goro Akechi (2020) s01e08 Episode Script

Episode 8

1
Underground idol group
Baku-on Angels' Coco
is actually
my high school classmate.
She had a breakdown
because of a terrifying stalker.
Good night.
Coco talked to me about it,
so I introduced her to Mr Akechi.
Mr Akechi became her bodyguard
and we all stayed
at Mr Akechi's office.
The person
who reached out to Coco is
Kill him.
You're an angel
that can make many people smile.
Are you okay? Call an ambulance!
Cancel today's concert!
Don't let the audience in!
Send his vomit to forensics!
Was he poisoned?
Akechi, you were pretty shaken up
at that time
when we didn't know
if it was an accident or not.
What do you know?
I have a duty of confidentiality.
There's nothing
I can tell the police.
The guy, Tabata,
is called Lucifer by some fans.
There's an account under the same
name on a social media site.
"Die, burgundy suit guy!
Don't go near Coco-meow!
Out of my way, Curly Hair!
Showa period's
withered pampas grass."
He even uploaded a photo of you.
You wanted to kill him
because he went too far?
This is absurd.
Akechi
If you were to be put
into a coffin tomorrow,
what will be
your last supper tonight?
I'll order the special pork chop
cutlet rice bowl at Imura-an
in Takazawa Shopping Street,
near my home.
They don't do deliveries though.
Mr Katono!
Here you are!
Was he poisoned or drugged?
I got the result of his blood test!
It wasn't overdose
of sleeping pills or aspirins.
No bacteria in question
were detected,
so it probably wasn't caused
by infection.
What? What about the vomit?
I got the result.
There is nothing unusual!
What? That's absurd!
Anyway, Mr Akechi is innocent!
Oh, what a pity.
I thought I could have Imura-an's
pork chop cutlet rice bowl.
I was looking forward to it.
Blimey! The guy cried wolf.
Nice to meet you.
Miss Ringo, I presume.
I'm Reizoko.
The lady who chopped her husband up!
Hey
You survive miraculously
from the rubbish shredder.
Thanks for the other day.
Ms Maria has told me
about your good work.
I'm going to join you now,
and I look forward
to working with you.
- Same here.
- Thank you.
I couldn't sleep last night.
Somehow
I was excited.
"Edogawa Detective Office"
Welcome back.
The girls have left for now.
I see.
Ichigou.
Will you make me some tea?
Yes.
Did the stalker really die?
He's unconscious, but he's alive.
- He's alive?
- Yes.
Oh, thank goodness!
I thought Coco did something
What a relief!
I was just overthinking.
No.
It probably isn't overthinking.
You heard what she said, right?
I was an angel held captive,
but the heart of my true self
has just been set free!
If something within her
has awakened
To be precise,
if someone caused it to awaken
Could it be Maria?
So far, Maria has been
killing people like a performance.
If Maria is involved
behind the scenes,
how did she kill the stalker?
No, it can't be! Coco wouldn't be
brainwashed by Maria
Ichigou, you taught her how to cook
yesterday, didn't you?
Yes, but what's the matter
with that?
Was there anything wrong with her?
No, I don't think so.
What's this?
It isn't mine. That bin is for
incombustible waste, right?
I throw away bottles
as recyclable waste.
The last time you used this kitchen
was when you cooked with her?
Yes, but Mr Akechi,
Coco can't be a murderer!
Did you put mushrooms
in the spaghetti yesterday?
No.
Mr Akechi
Stay here.
Room 512's Mr Tabata
has regained consciousness.
- Thank goodness.
- Yes.
- His condition is stable too.
- Yeah?
"Minami Aoyama General Hospital"
Mr Tabata?
Please wake up.
Miss Coco is worried about you.
Coco-meow
Am I too late?
Oh, Mr Detective?
Maria
Please mind your head.
What a surprise.
He really has recovered.
Just as what Ms Maria told us.
Congratulations
on your hospital discharge.
Okay, let's go back
to where Coco is.
Where Coco-meow is?
Is Saint Mary the one
whom the beautiful angel waits on?
No.
It's the formidable evil woman,
Maria.
If you were to be killed tomorrow,
what would be the last thing
you eat?
"Episode 8"
Where is Tabata?
He's woken up, so he made
the needed arrangements and left.
Where did you bring him?
What are you talking about?
At my office's kitchen,
I found a piece of white mushroom.
It's Amanita virosa, right?
The mushroom has another name.
Despite its deadly poison,
it has a white,
beautiful appearance.
In Europe, it's called
Destroying Angel,
an angel that kills.
Isn't it the perfect name for Coco?
I'll ask again.
Where is Tabata?
You're pretty desperate.
Are you making so much effort
for the cute owner
of the bento food truck?
Well, naturally,
the girl will be sad if her friend
becomes a murderer.
Answer me, Maria!
I don't like this.
I hate it when you look so restless
and desperate for that girl.
Just answer me.
Do you think I will?
Mr Detective
I've made up my mind.
The next one I'll kill
is the bento
food truck's young lady.
Right in front of your eyes.
Coco
Welcome back.
Where have you been?
You suddenly ran out
and I was worried.
Mr Akechi.
I want to know the truth.
Did Coco really
Call her here.
- You mean now?
- Ichigou.
Are you prepared to know the truth?
What do you want to talk about?
I think I should tell you
about the stalker.
He regained consciousness
and was discharged from hospital.
I see.
So, Coco
Where did you go
before the rehearsal yesterday?
Were you going to kill the stalker?
I got it wrong, didn't I?
You didn't do that, right?
You got nothing wrong.
I fed that guy poisonous pasta
to punish him.
Then when you suddenly said
you wanted to learn how to cook
Yes.
I guess just some poisonous mushroom
can't kill a person.
But
I feel a bit relieved
somewhere in my mind,
because as an idol,
if I become a murderer,
it'll be over for Baku-on Angels.
Coco
I'm afraid
the main dish
has just been served.
It was left in the drain.
You added it to the pasta
and let the stalker eat it, right?
It's called Destroying Angel,
the most fatal poisonous mushroom
among Japan's wild mushrooms.
Just one mushroom can kill an adult.
Symptoms of poisoning appear
in a few hours after ingestion,
but they subside within one day.
But what comes after
is the dreadful part.
Seven days after you think it's
cured, the poison will take effect.
The victim will vomit
dark red blood,
writhe in severe pain,
and eventually die.
Seven days later.
But he was sent to the hospital
and he was treated!
Simple treatments like
stomach pumping are pointless.
He can only wait for his death.
Oh, no
Everything goes as Maria wishes.
Ms Maria
said we'll kill that guy
for the sake of our dream.
She said I was an angel
who could make many people smile.
Coco!
You were incited by Maria
and committed a crime
that can't be undone!
No! The jerk deserves to die!
The stalker will probably
be hidden somewhere for seven days
and wait for his death,
as you wish.
Then his body will be destroyed
without a trace.
If no dead body is found,
the murder won't be found out.
If there's no murder,
the police won't take action!
However, do remember this.
You murdered someone.
But from now on,
you'll pretend to be an angel
and continue to be an idol?
Coco, let's go to tell the police.
You can still turn over a new leaf.
After all,
you were only manipulated by Maria!
Tell me.
A murderer can't be an idol?
Who says that?
The person
who really saved me and our dream
isn't you, Ichigo.
It's Ms Maria.
- Wait!
- It's no use.
It's too late now.
Your friend
isn't in this world anymore.
Will Coco-meow really come
to this place?
Yeah, in seven days.
Seven days?
Coco will quit being an idol for you
and she wants a quiet life here
with you.
Of course, it's just you and her.
Eh?
In the coming seven days,
we'll take turns to look after you.
He might not look it,
but he is a French chef.
You'll be served delicious food.
Seven days
I've made the meal for you today.
Your stomach is empty,
you must be hungry.
This is vegetable pot-au-feu,
it's easy to digest.
Excuse me, you are Coco-meow's
Siblings.
Siblings?
You all are?
Yes, we're all her siblings.
We don't look alike at all though.
Try it while it's still hot.
Thank you
So, the arrogant monster
meets his last seven days.
The angels begin
to pursue their dream again
like nothing had happened.
The world belongs
to only you and me.
"Ichigo Deli"
Hey, Ichigou Kobayashi.
Mr Akechi
Actually, I cooked something,
which is unusual for me.
So I'd like you to try it, chef.
Mr Akechi, you cooked?
Deep frying it to make it crunchy
is quite difficult,
so please give me some tips.
You know
the deep-fried chikuwa
wrapped in seaweed
made by the bento food truck
near my office is my favourite.
I won't get tired of eating it
every day,
no matter how horrible a case
might be.
Eating the deep-fried chikuwa
strangely calms my heart.
To me, this dish is the only one
in the world.
Mr Akechi
I'm not used to making this,
so maybe you won't like the taste.
I'll try it, then.
What do you think?
Not bad?
The taste is not bad, is it?
It's bad.
It's awful.
You can't cook at all,
I can't believe you've been
nagging me about the dishes I make!
All right,
I'll make deep-fried chikuwa
wrapped in seaweed
especially for you, as an example.
Ichigou Kobayashi.
It's "Ichigo."
I promised before to protect you.
I didn't want to tell you,
but Maria made it clear to me
that she'd kill you
in front of my eyes.
You knew, as I thought.
Someday,
in front of Goro Akechi's eyes,
I'll kill you.
Maria said the same thing to me
quite a while ago.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because I
Because I thought I would become
a burden to you.
I have a suggestion.
Will you move in to my office,
and live with me there?
Huh?
Eh? What
Mr Akechi,
I appreciate the offer, but
I'm still not married,
can you be sure we won't do
anything wrong if it's just us two?
I didn't say it's just you and me.
They're so heavy! I went to buy
daily necessities and got here late.
Momoko, you too?
Mr Akechi told me what happened.
This is how I unexpectedly started
living under the same roof
with Mr Akechi.
But
I'm so bored.
Excuse me, Mr Akechi.
What's the matter?
I'll go buy something for lunch
and supper at the supermarket.
What food ingredients do you want?
I'll go and buy them.
No, thanks! I'll go myself.
What if someone suspicious
talks to you?
I'm not a primary school girl.
You see who grows the vegetables
at the supermarket,
but you can't see who is suspicious.
I see no rational reason for you
to go shopping.
- Forget it, then.
- Oh, also,
Ichigo Deli shouldn't do business
for a while.
What?
It's too risky to let people see you
all day at the roadside.
Come on!
I'll go to my usual supermarket
to buy what you need for dinner.
It will take some time.
Eat what I have in the fridge
for lunch.
He cares about you very much,
Ichigo.
The premium grilled eel rice boxes
have arrived!
"Shinsen Ichinoya"
Bon appetit
Wow, thank you for buying ours too!
You came at the perfect time.
We're lucky! This is a reward
for being upstanding.
Mr Akechi went out to buy something,
but he'll be back soon.
We'll wait for him then,
while eating this.
But Mr Akechi is so mean!
He doesn't allow me to go out
at all, not even to the corner shop!
He's too overprotective, right?
That's bragging. You disgust me.
Mr Takahashi, you just don't know
what a pain in the neck he is!
Mr Akechi got us everything we need,
but look at this T-shirt!
It's like he's lecturing me.
Ake-T? I'm jealous!
What makes you jealous?
Why do you have to hide like that?
Because of Maria!
Maria? Who is that?
Gosh!
- Do you know her, Takahashi?
- No.
She is
Well
a troublemaker who appears
from nowhere occasionally?
Sushi is here!
- Sushi too?
- Sushi too?
We put it on Mr Akechi's tab!
I'll open the door.
Coming!
Whoa! You startled me!
When When did you come back?
I missed the right timing.
I heard "Ake-T? I'm jealous."
- Thanks for waiting.
- Thank you.
Mr Katono, how can I help you?
Well, I thought I should apologise
to you Mr Akechi,
because I treated you
like a suspect.
Please sir
I'll be his boss three years later,
please forgive him for my sake.
Mind your own business!
Have you found Tabata
after he went missing after that?
Well
I have no idea where he is.
I see.
Well, Ichigo.
You always say he's overprotective,
but you're happy, aren't you?
Mr Akechi is serious
about protecting you.
Well, yeah.
A while ago, I said to you
that you should leave Mr Akechi.
But I take it back.
Don't leave his side.
Momoko?
Why don't you tell him frankly
how you feel too?
Tell him you love him.
No
It's impossible!
There's no way I can say that!
Why?
Because
I know
Mr Akechi doesn't feel the same.
I wonder.
Oh, that's right!
I convinced him to let me open
Ichigo Deli at lunchtime!
What should I make?
Thank you! Please come again.
Four daily special bentos, please.
Welcome! You came yesterday too,
didn't you?
Somehow I've totally become
a fan of your bento.
I'm so booming happy!
What's that?
"Booming happy" is top-class happy.
I rarely use "booming."
I'll prepare them now.
- Oh? You do catering service too?
- Yes, I do.
In that case,
I'll ask for your service.
Yes? Really?
I'll invite five, six friends over
to hold a little party this weekend,
and I've been thinking
about what food I should prepare.
Is it too sudden?
It's no problem at all.
But the place will be a bit far.
I'll drive this van
straight to wherever you want!
How boomingly reliable you are!
Thanks for waiting.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Your 400 yen change.
Thank you for your purchase!
Blimey, the girl's head will rattle
if she shakes it.
Her bentos are
absolutely delicious though.
She does well for selling them
at such reasonable prices.
Why?
I only allow you
to do business at lunchtime.
I can take this opportunity
to get more rich customers.
It's a chance to explore and develop
catering service too!
She doesn't run a tab
like you-know-who.
Such a wonderful customer likes me,
I can't turn her down now!
I won't let you do business
at lunchtime if you don't like this.
Momoko, say something!
Settle it by thumb wresting.
Good, I won't lose-
I won't do it!
I I'm happy when people
enjoy the dishes I make.
That's all I want!
Anyway, turn her down. Okay?
Fine! I'll turn her down, right?
Stupid stingy Akechi!
I'm making an effort!
Ah! Crisps thief!
"Akiba BOX"
"From 18:00, Baku-on Angels"
Thank goodness.
Mr Akechi, you're here!
You said she wasn't here?
Coco said she'd return
by the time our concert is held
The stalker hasn't been coming
since that time,
but Coco seems
to be hiding something.
Is this related
to someone called Maria?
Why do you know the name?
She said today was the seventh day,
so she would go see Maria.
Do you have a clue where she is?
Instead of a clue
We all installed a GPS tracker in
our phones because of what happened.
Nigou!
Is your bike's fuel tank full?
Did something happen?
I'll investigate something
and will be back at night.
Do lock the door properly.
Okay, I will.
Mr Akechi, helmet.
Let's go.
See you!
Thank you for coming
on such short notice.
The restaurant I ordered
catering service from
couldn't do it for me.
I'm happy you asked me again.
I'm really sorry
to make you come this far.
Today's party venue is up there.
It's like a test of courage, right?
No
There's nobody around,
and it's quiet.
We don't need to hold back,
we can be as loud as we want.
I'll take the food upstairs.
I've chilled one of my best wines,
will you serve it with the food?
Yes.
Oh?
She ordered food for six
This is the wine she mentioned?
La Vie "an" Rose?
I've never seen this wine before.
Okay, Kurukku.
Wine, La Vie "an" Rose.
Kurukku. Do you mean La Vie en Rose?
- It's "en"?
- Here is the result.
"La Vie en Rose"
"Life in pink"?
Wow! I'll tell Momoko too.
All right
Good.
"Catering for Madame!"
- The scenery is quite good, right?
- Yes!
Why
They are all members of my family.
You're
Are you surprised?
"Boomingly"?
Maria
Now, have a seat.
Let's begin our party.
Why are you here?
I ordered catering from you
because I wanted to talk to you.
I have nothing to say to you!
Just listen to what I say, then.
We haven't met in a while.
Sorry about the other day.
You're
Have a seat.
I'll keep your mobile phone.
It isn't poisoned.
It's pain au campagne.
Enjoy it with the sparkling wine.
I won't eat or drink.
Young lady, calm down.
Leave us alone.
Yes, ma'am.
This wine is pretty difficult to get
in Japan.
Do you know why I chose this wine?
It's young, pretty, and sweet.
The wine is just like you.
Don't look so scared.
You need something entertaining
while enjoying wine, don't you?
How about this?
This is
Coco-meow
Coco?
Mr Lucifer.
Thank you for waiting
for seven days.
Coco-meow,
I've been waiting for you.
For the whole time
I missed you so much.
Me too.
I've been waiting so long
for today to come.
It was the longest seven days
in my whole life.
Are you hungry?
I made this again,
it's the Neapolitan from that time.
I wasn't good at cooking,
but I thought about you
while I was cooking.
It made me think for the first time
that cooking is enjoyable.
I'm so happy.
Now
dig in.
Oh?
I really wanted
to see that look on your face,
that's why I made effort to cook.
This is the perfect last supper
for the monster.
No
How could you!
Why did you do this to Coco?
Look, he has come too.
Mr Akechi?
Have a look, Mr Akechi.
The arrogant monster killed himself.
It's all because he wanted
to steal my white wings.
Where is Maria?
She isn't here.
Now, Ms Maria should be
having lunch with Ichigo, I think.
Ichigo?
Mr Akechi, this
"Catering for Madame!"
Who is "madame"?
That rich lady?
Did you
lure me out to come here?
"Dialling: Ichigou Kobayashi"
The number you're calling
isn't reachable
Darn
Lend me yours.
How do you get the photo just now?
You don't know that?
Okay, Kurukku.
- The photo of wine from Ichigo.
- Kurukku.
- This is the photo.
- Show me what you're worth now.
Okay, Kurukku.
Tell me where this photo was taken!
The place it was taken is
this place.
How excellent you are!
Okay, Kurukku.
Let me call you Sangou
starting today.
I do not understand.
Mr Akechi, hop on now!
I actually warned you,
but you still wouldn't
leave him at all.
Are you an idiot?
Why Mr Akechi?
You just happened to ask him
to do an infidelity investigation.
Young lady, don't you understand?
This is fate.
Fate?
"15 years ago"
Soon after I started working,
I had no dream or hope.
Every day was dull, as I travelled
between home and office.
At that time,
I met him at a university's festival
I happened to attend.
It smells lovely.
Hey, Akechi, what are you grilling?
Fillet steak, as you can see.
I asked my grandfather to give me
some from Ogiya Department store.
I wanted to take this opportunity to
promote our Japanese Black Beef.
But we're selling crepe!
Excuse me, how much is the meat?
Taking the cost price into account,
well, it's about 6,500 yen a piece.
Nobody would pay 6,500 yen
at a school festival!
Gourmet is culture,
an investment on yourself.
I'll buy it.
6,500 yen, right?
Eh?
Hang on.
I'll grill a new piece.
Why? I'll have that one.
Eating is an important event
in a person's life.
The number of times you eat for
the rest of your life is limited.
That's why I think
that one shouldn't compromise
on even one meal.
The piece of meat should be grilled
to the doneness you desire.
What do you recommend?
Medium rare, with a rosy centre.
I'll have that, then.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
That was a dream-like moment.
The meat at that time
It's so good.
was delicious.
So delicious that
I want to make it my last supper.
However,
it was a distant memory
from a long time ago.
That's right.
A dream is different from reality.
My reality
was a boring woman
who was nothing special.
Then,
I got married to a boring man.
I tried to convince myself
that it's a woman's happiness.
But the red thread of fate
pulled us together
a decade after that.
It smells lovely.
Here.
No, no. I want it to be medium rare.
I can't accept that order
using this thin piece of meat.
You're a pro.
You need to make the centre rosy,
no matter how thin the meat is.
Now, do it again.
Gosh!
Looking at his profile,
my memory returned clearly.
The number of times you can eat
in your life is limited,
so you shouldn't compromise
on even one meal.
That's why you asked Mr Akechi
to do an infidelity investigation?
Yes.
Then he told me
what really is happiness for me.
You mean killing people?
Everyone doesn't know
that it is so exciting and fun.
You're crazy.
The reason why murder is illegal
is perhaps because
it gives you pleasure.
It's been nice talking to you today.
Speak of the devil. Right?
Mr Akechi
Why?
How can you become like that?
I'll ask you, then. Who are you?
In the world, most people don't know
who they truly are.
They don't realise.
Even if they do,
they shove it under the rug.
I am who I am.
Maria Magdalena.
Hang in there.
You can die
in front of his eyes soon.
- Ichigou Kobayashi!
- Mr Akechi!
You made a sound argument, right?
That's why this happened.
You mean I asked for it?
Yeah.
But as you know,
I'm so annoyingly overprotective.
Mr Akechi
Ichigo!
Mr Akechi!
It's okay now,
Ichigou Kobayashi.
It's "Ichigo"!
Thank goodness!
Nigou
Look after her.
Ichigo.
Please stop putting her
in dangerous situations.
We are Adam and Eve.
We don't need anyone else
present at our last supper.
I'm the only one for you.
Wait!
It's fate
You and I.
We're destined to meet.
And
we'll be alone when the world ends.
Everything is fate.
You should know that too, don't you?
Maria
What you're going to do
I know the answer.
I
Because our souls are connected.
Mr Akechi?
If my son
meets someone who matches
his wavelength perfectly,
I have a feeling he'd go
to a crazy world with her.
No, Mr Akechi.
Don't go there!
Mr Akechi!
I love you, Mr Akechi!
I really love you!
It has nothing to do with Maria,
it doesn't matter what you think.
I just
I just love you!
So, please, don't go!
Thank you
Kobayashi
Ichigo.
You called me Ichigo?
Mr Akechi!
Welcome to your destiny.
Mr Akechi!
- Ichigou Kobayashi.
- Not bad.
No need to worry.
I will protect you too.
No!
