Hints: Photos (mugshots?) of Enomoto with caption "a suspect", police siren in the background & a pair of eyes (Tamaki's?)
What do those opening hints meant?
I believe in Enomoto. I don't think it was him, so this post will be based on that assumption. With such hints, the only thing I can think of is the real culprit knows about Enomoto's past with Ebara. I wonder who made the phone call to the police? The culprit...or maybe Tamaki's character, Satou? Hmmm... Satou could be the culprit (or maybe he saw something about the real culprit)?
Poor Enomoto... trapped by his own words (regarding the security level of the place in the beginning)... actually what I saw is someone else is using Enomoto as a disguise for his crime. But that was a pretty clever way to reveal Enomoto's past, Scriptwriter Aizawa-san :D...
This is a quite refreshing episode (ah but previous episodes weren't really formulaic like other similar doramas)... no opening scene where Enomoto introduces the case.. It was movie-like too. The atmosphere was more serious... Serizawa-sensei (who usually do funny ad-libs :D) was more serious than before too...
Favourite/Must-see scenes:
- Enomoto & Junko in elevator
- Enomoto meeting with Ebara. I don't think Ebara forgot who Enomoto is. The way he requested Junko to supervise Enomoto makes me think that he remembered him very fine.
- Ooohh... the promised long lines!! Lol... but I'm really interested to hear them because it's about security (useful info)--- as expected, the expert got it all covered. :D
- Junko asking about Enomoto who was questioned elsewhere. Concerned for your teammate, Junko-san? XD
- Tamaki's scenes... Why so teasing with those sneakers? XD... Like some people said, he really did finally appear in the end only.
- Serizawa's ideas on monkey and robot being the culprits
- Serizawa with monkey
- Enomoto has this weird expression on him when Junko was beside him, looking at what Enomoto is looking on his computer..
- KYA... something like the ending of ep8 again! <333 I can get used to this. *Kishi-sensei, ganbatte~! XD* *Aizawa-san, feel free to add interactions like this again for any sequels in the future :P* By the way, didn't it look like Enomoto was teasing her?? lol
- Ending. The whole thing. Kouno talking about Enomoto's past and Enomoto seeing Satou outside the window. Acquaintance?
It must be interesting to see how Serizawa react to this thing about Enomoto. It will show how far he trusts him as his teammate. I hope he'll stand by Enomoto's side... チーム榎本 最高！
(But if he's skeptical, there's Junko to drag him in to save Enomoto XD)
Enomoto's past reminded me of Mita. Not the past thing.. It made me feel like hugging him to tell him it's going to be okay. Sigh. They haven't talked much on his past really... only what happened 5 years ago & how he ended up in an unusual office. My wild imagination came up with this hypotheses.. could he have been more knowledgeable on locked room cases now because of what he was accused of before? Like an obsession that started because he wanted to prove his innocence??.. Could he be the one who helped out with the case because they already caught the culprit? Who is Satou Manabu? I don't think he's merely a window cleaner... Professional thief? Could Enomoto had been a professional thief too (but doesn't mix his work and erm.. "hobby")... or maybe it was on his juvenile record??
I need answers!
One day left!
