#Episode 129

[chuckle-clips]

Ted: We’re on a podcast right now, show me a little bit of care.

Schlatt: I wish Charlie was back. I’m just gonna say it. I wish Charlie was back.

Ted: Oh, that makes me feel excellent. That makes me feel excellent. Well, if Charlie was here, what would he say?

Schlatt: I don’t know, he’d say something. He’d say something funny like he always did.

Kegome got kidnapped again and he's not happy about it

I find it fascinating and vaguely concerning that he's started blaming himself and yelling at himself for it every time something goes wrong. Sir are you ok do you need therapy.

Oh well, what’s done is done, unless it isn’t because time travel.

Submerged

No! I saw the title and I already hate this!

Hello? Martin! No! Question this man! I think maybe you're both idiots!

Oh, hon! This is so bad! Just all around bad!

"Please stop finding me." God damn!

I'm not emotionally available enough for all of this!

Ah, gentrification, the true horror! This one story is going to make me go fucking feral!

Please don't feed into my dream of living debt free! I might almost fall for this kind of shit.

Yeah, get the fuck out of there.

This is feeling very Corruption to me? I thought it would be Vast but it doesn't feel quite right. Maybe Buried? They did just get the coffin, so that might make sense.

This dude is straight up not having a good time. I can't even kinda figure out how this dude is gonna get out of this.

Did you really get out of this by virtue alone that you faced your death with dignity? Wasn't that how the other Buried victim survived also? Is acceptance just a turn off to the Buried?

What?! What?! Gertrude! WTF?! Friendship is over YET AGAIN!

What? Jon! WTF are you about to do! I'd suggest you use Martin for that anchor of yours but apparently you have a hard time finding him these days.

Apparently TMA is getting a sequel series, which I wasn't aware of before I decided to get into the series in general. And because I don't want the series as a whole to be spoiled for me, I gotta try to finish this show before my dashboard is covered in spoilers!

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 129

Just a short one for this one - Kerry gets over invested in a fight between two teenage girls over a man who is old enough to be their father.

Gina reprimands her for not passing the case to CSU and Smithy covers saying he asked her to attend as she had previous with the two girls. Gina tells him she expected better from him and sets them to task finding Ken's missing son. Smithy tells Kerry she has to take a step back and not get so involved in cases.

Gabriel remarks on how 'cosy' their chat looked and Kerry dismisses it immediatley saying 'in his dreams'.

Schlatt: Maybe the meaning of life is being present with other people that make us happy.

Ted: Oh yeah, for sure.

Detective Conan episode 129 is hands down my favorite episode in the show, primarily because of her:

Ai Haibara/Shiho Miyano. Her introduction was done extremely well. When she's first introduced as the new transfer student, she seems innocent enough, just a bit shy. You don't really get the sense that something is off about her until the Detective Boys get a case from one of their classmates asking them to help find his older brother, who went missing recently. As they search the boy's house, Haibara watches Conan as he investigates, almost as if he was an interesting test subject to look at. Their classmate notices that she's staring at something, and she nods her head in Conan's direction. He looks at Conan and then back at Haibara, only to find a rather creepy smirk on her face. Finding nothing at the house, they decide to look elsewhere. After a while, Conan ditches them to investigate on his own, only to be shocked when they eventually find him. When he asks them how did they know where he was, they tell him that Haibara figured out where he would be. At this point in the episode, you're thinking "either she's a really smart 7 year old kid, or she's the same as Conan and was given the same drug/poison that shrank him". Only to find out much later that it's the latter, but with a twist. They eventually find the boy's brother, who was kidnapped by people involved in a counterfeit money scheme, who wanted him to paint fake bills for them. When the leader intends to shoot at them, Haibara grabs the gun from her and shoots, just barely missing the woman (and it looked as if she missed on purpose).

"There is definitely more than meets the eye with this girl" is what I thought the first time I saw this episode. Until she starts crying because inspector Megure yelled at her for shooting the gun because it was dangerous.

As Conan walks her home, she's still crying, so it really DOES seem like she's a normal girl after all....until Conan begins to leave and she says this:

Turns out that she's not a normal little girl after all, but is actually a member of the black organization, as well as the person who created the drug that shrank Shinichi. She reveals that she also knows exactly who "Conan" really is: Shinichi Kudo. Ai tells him that she may or may not have killed Professor Agasa, and that Conan should check to see if she's telling the truth or not. He quickly runs to the professor's house, only to see that the old man in question is fine. Ai eventually walks in the door and Agasa greets her as if it's just another day and nothing is out of the ordinary. Ai tells them both her backstory: she rebelled against the organization after one of the members killed her sister, and her punishment was death. So she figured that if she was going to die anyway, it might as well be because of her own poison. What she wasn't expecting, however, was for the poison to shrink her. She managed to escape the room she was confined in by going into a garbage chute, and slowly made her way to Shinichi's house, thinking that he would be able to help her since he was in the same predicament that she was now in. Conan, beyond angry at this point because those guys that they caught earlier weren't from the organization like he thought they were, and the fact that he he's face to face with the creator of the poison that shrank him, who also led him to believe that she killed Agasa, someone he's known since he was a toddler, only to find out that she tricked him, lashes out at her. All of the anger and frustration that he felt about his situation finally burst out of him.

She then says that she had no choice in the matter of the development of that drug, and that she never intended for it to be a poison in the first place (which is a very interesting detail that Gosho has yet to explain. I wonder what she means by that?) which pissed Conan off even more, but Agasa managed to calm him down. He demands to go to the place where she created the drug out, this way they can retrieve the data of the drug so that he can be returned to normal, only for Ai to tell him that there's "no point" and show him and Agasa a newspaper that talks about a fire that burned down a pharmaceutical company, and says that even if they go there, nothing would be left. She then remembers that one time, her sister had sent her some floppy disks with pictures of a trip she went on. Ai claims to have looked at them a d sent them right back to her sister, only to discover sometime later that the floppy disk with the drug's data was nowhere to be found. Meaning that she had sent that particular floppy disk to her sister without realizing it. She says that the floppy disks actually belonged to her sister's university professor, Hirota Masami, who they then go to visit to get the floppy disk back. They go his house only to find that he had been murdered. Conan is able to solve the case, and the culprit, a former student of the professor, is arrested and charged with his murder. As they're getting ready to leave, Ai stops them by asking Conan why couldn't he save her sister. He doesn't know what she's talking at first, until she says that the name "Hirota Masami" was the fake name that her sister, Akemi Miyano, used during that bank heist that Conan found himself involved in.

This part was something that I never expected to see: Conan being confronted by a victim's family member on a case that he worked on, someone who knows his real identity. Ai tearfully says that with all of his deductive reasoning he should have been able to see right through her sister's case and realize what was actually going on. She drops to her knees and grabs Conan's shirt, tearfully asking "Why?" before she just completely breaks down in tears.

This scene, along with the soundtrack that was playing during it, is probably my second favorite part of the episode, no matter how sad and heartbreaking it is. Hearing her crying her heart out like that just got to me, as well as Conan saying this:

A few weeks go by and they managed to get the floppy disk containing the drugs data after the police confirmed that they didn't need it as evidence. Ai puts it into the computer at the professor's house, and begins looking through it as she says that it contains data on more than just the drug: it has information about the organization members as well. Conan is pleased because this means that he's one step closer to getting his real body back, as well as taking down the organization. To their utter shock, however, the data begins to delete itself. Ai then says that there was a virus installed in that floppy disk to delete all of the data in it if it was accessed in a computer that wasn't from the organization. Since all of the data is now lost, Ai says that she'll be there for a while since she now has to do everything from scratch. She says to Conan that she looks forward to working with him, who looks at her with mild anger. And thus the most unlikely partnership in the series was born.
