[00:01] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But cases are even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:06] ---
    Today's title is a bit unusual!
    Can you solve the mystery in Part 1?!
[00:10] ---
    He sees the
    single truth for what it is,
[00:11] ---
    and looks like a kid but
    has the mind of an adult!
[00:13] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:51] ---
    "The Mystery of the Mole Alien (Part 1)."
[02:00] ---
    Hey, Mitsuhiko.
[02:02] ---
    Is there really
    an empty lot nearby
[02:04] ---
    where we can play baseball?
[02:06] ---
    There is!
[02:08] ---
    C'mon, you guys. Play soccer
    once in a while, will ya?
[02:15] ---
    We're here!
[02:17] ---
    Huh?
[02:18] ---
    What do you mean?
[02:20] ---
    Right here!
[02:31] ---
    This is a construction site
    for an apartment building!
[02:34] ---
    That's right! Except they stopped
    construction half a month ago!
[02:39] ---
    Then we can
    play baseball in here?!
[02:42] ---
    Yes!
[02:43] ---
    We can't get in
    here because it's locked,
[02:46] ---
    but I found another
    way in yesterday!
[02:49] ---
    This way!
[02:54] ---
    Geez...
[03:02] ---
    Here it is!
[03:04] ---
    There's a hole!
[03:06] ---
    Whoa! You broke it, Mitsuhiko-kun?!
[03:08] ---
    N-No!
[03:10] ---
    A car hit it.
[03:12] ---
    See? There's paint
    from a car on the fence.
[03:16] ---
    A car must've hit
    it and made this hole.
[03:20] ---
    Alright! Let's check out the inside!
[03:22] ---
    I'm going in first!
[03:28] ---
    There's so much space!
[03:31] ---
    C'mon! Pull like you mean it!
[03:34] ---
    Go on a diet, geez!
[03:39] ---
    Alright! This manhole
    will be the home plate!
[03:43] ---
    I'm batter!
[03:44] ---
    I'm pitcher!
[03:45] ---
    I'm infielder!
[03:50] ---
    Fine. I'll be outfielder.
[03:54] ---
    Alright! Let's get started!
[03:56] ---
    Yeah.
[03:58] ---
    Yeah.
[03:59] ---
    Conan-kun! I can't hear you!
[04:02] ---
    Yeah!
[04:04] ---
    All right!
[04:05] ---
    Here it comes, Genta-kun!
[04:07] ---
    Bring it on!
[04:15] ---
    Conan-kun! It's headed your way!
[04:18] ---
    I'm just a ball-fetcher here...
[04:26] ---
    Still, this is clearly
    breaking and entering...
[04:31] ---
    If anyone sees us...
[04:36] ---
    What's that?
[04:42] ---
    Oh, crap! He's watching
    with binoculars!
[04:48] ---
    Whoops!
[04:50] ---
    It went over the fence...
[04:56] ---
    I don't see the ball anywhere.
[04:58] ---
    Hey, could it have
    gone over that fence, too?
[05:02] ---
    That is quite possible.
[05:05] ---
    Then let's ask the person
    who lives there to let us get it.
[05:08] ---
    Good idea. Let's see...
[05:12] ---
    That seems to be
    a back entrance, so...
[05:14] ---
    I think the front door
    was facing the main street.
[05:17] ---
    But what if a really
    stubborn man lives here?
[05:21] ---
    I don't know if he's stubborn or not,
[05:23] ---
    but someone was watching from
    the upstairs window with binoculars.
[05:26] ---
    Binoculars?
[05:27] ---
    Meaning someone is home, right?!
    Let's give it a shot!
[05:31] ---
    Alright!
[05:40] ---
    It probably flew into this yard.
[05:42] ---
    It looks like a haunted house.
[05:44] ---
    Why would a haunted house
    be right on a main street?
[05:53] ---
    Hey, Conan-kun.
[05:55] ---
    How do you read that?
[05:58] ---
    Watanuki Yoshikazu
[05:58] ---
    Oh. Watanuki. Watanuki Yoshikazu.
[06:02] ---
    Oh?
[06:04] ---
    I think he's coming out!
[06:09] ---
    Whoa! He's scary!
[06:12] ---
    H-He's all yours, Conan!
[06:14] ---
    Geez. You got a big body,
    but no guts at all.
[06:19] ---
    Excuse me! Our ball landed
    in your yard! Could we get it?
[06:25] ---
    Watanuki Yoshikazu (63)
[06:25] ---
    Are you students at Teitan Elementary?
[06:28] ---
    Yes!
[06:30] ---
    You're not allowed in my yard!
[06:33] ---
    That means leave!
[06:35] ---
    W-Wait, hold on!
    Without that ball, we can't--
[06:39] ---
    That's what you get
    for playing baseball there!
[06:42] ---
    If I catch you in there again,
    I'm contacting your school!
[06:47] ---
    You can't be serious...
[06:54] ---
    He wasn't a stubborn man.
    He was a stubborn old man.
[06:57] ---
    He could at least let
    us look around the yard!
[07:00] ---
    Darn it! Give my ball back!
[07:03] ---
    There's nothing we can do.
[07:05] ---
    Like he said, we're the ones at
    fault for going where we shouldn't.
[07:11] ---
    Then it's Mitsuhiko's fault!
[07:13] ---
    You better pay for that ball!
[07:15] ---
    Hey! Let's forget about baseball
    and play video games at Conan's place!
[07:19] ---
    Y-Yes, good idea! We can
    have some snacks there, too!
[07:24] ---
    Boxed eel lunches?
[07:25] ---
    Yes!
[07:25] ---
    Hey! Don't decide things on your own!
[07:28] ---
    Alright! Let's go to Conan's place!
[07:30] ---
    Yes! Let's!
[07:40] ---
    Huh? There's someone there...
[07:44] ---
    So, there is. Is he a client?
[07:47] ---
    Hey, Mister.
[07:50] ---
    He looks mean...
[07:52] ---
    Did you come to the
    Mori Detective Agency?
[07:56] ---
    Who're you?
[07:57] ---
    I live here! I'll show you the way!
[08:08] ---
    I'm home!
[08:10] ---
    Welcome back!
[08:11] ---
    Oh, hello!
[08:12] ---
    Hello!
[08:14] ---
    Not those pests again.
[08:17] ---
    Mister! You have a visitor!
[08:20] ---
    Visitor?
[08:22] ---
    My name is Koda. My younger
    sister went missing a month ago.
[08:28] ---
    Now, now! Please have a seat first!
[08:31] ---
    Ran! Make some tea!
[08:33] ---
    Right!
[08:37] ---
    I'm sorry, but could you guys
    play outside a little while longer?
[08:41] ---
    Bah. We have no luck.
[08:43] ---
    I'm sorry.
[08:44] ---
    So, you want me
    to find a missing person?
[08:47] ---
    No. My sister was murdered!
    By a man named Watanuki Yoshikazu!
[08:53] ---
    Watanuki?!
[08:55] ---
    The Watanuki-san who lives
    next to the construction site?
[08:58] ---
    You know him?
[08:59] ---
    Are you kidding? We met him just now!
[09:02] ---
    He wouldn't let us get the
    ball Genta-kun hit into his yard!
[09:06] ---
    He said, "You're not allowed in my yard!"
[09:10] ---
    Just as I thought!
[09:11] ---
    He didn't let you in the yard because
    my sister's body is buried there!
[09:16] ---
    H-Hold on! Please explain
    everything from the start.
[09:20] ---
    Here you are!
[09:24] ---
    I've seen him somewhere before!
[09:28] ---
    But I can't
    remember where from...
[09:31] ---
     My name is Koda Masao.
[09:33] ---
    My name is Koda Masao.
[09:33] ---
    Koda Masao (29)
[09:35] ---
    I have just the one sister,
[09:37] ---
    and I was born in Saku, Nagano Prefecture.
[09:39] ---
    Oh, I know Saku! It
    has the Cosmos Road, right?
[09:44] ---
    Yes. My sister loved
    cosmos flowers, too.
[09:48] ---
    This is my sister, Sanae.
[09:51] ---
    Oh! She's very pretty!
[09:54] ---
    She really is! She looks nothing like her brother!
[09:55] ---
    Koda Sanae (26)
[09:58] ---
    She has white skin, too!
[10:00] ---
    You kids!
[10:02] ---
    My sister moved here six years
    ago to work for Toto Securities.
[10:08] ---
    Two years ago, she became
    head of the Beika branch office.
[10:13] ---
    But on the night of the 8th of
    last month, she left to go see a client
[10:19] ---
    and has been missing ever since.
[10:21] ---
    And this client was
    Watanuki Yoshikazu-san?
[10:26] ---
    Yes.
[10:27] ---
    I came to town two
    nights after, on a Sunday,
[10:31] ---
    and learned about this
    at her office the following day.
[10:35] ---
    Around what time
    did she leave the office?
[10:38] ---
    Around 8:00 pm.
[10:40] ---
    She supposedly said she was
    going to stop by Watanuki's house
[10:44] ---
    and then return home.
[10:45] ---
    Why would she visit
    a client at such an hour?
[10:48] ---
    According to the branch manager,
[10:51] ---
    the stock Watanuki had
    bought had plummeted in value,
[10:54] ---
    and he was pressuring her into
    compensating him for his losses.
[10:58] ---
    One of those so-called
    "compensation payments," huh?
[11:02] ---
    Did you go to see Watanuki-san, then?
[11:06] ---
    Yes. The branch manager and
    I went on the afternoon of the 11th.
[11:10] ---
    He says my sister never
    showed up the night of the 8th!
[11:15] ---
    But that's a lie! She went to his
    house that night, but refused to pay!
[11:21] ---
    Watanuki snapped, killed her,
    and buried her in his yard!
[11:27] ---
    Say, why do you think
    she was buried in the yard?
[11:32] ---
    For two reasons.
[11:34] ---
    First, Watanuki doesn't
    have a driver's license.
[11:38] ---
    He couldn't take the
    body far away without a car.
[11:42] ---
    Second, late that night,
    at about 2:00 am,
[11:45] ---
    a businessman in the next
    house overheard a shovel digging.
[11:52] ---
    Digging?
[11:53] ---
    A man named Mochida-*san
    *who lives nearby.
[11:56] ---
    He says that construction
    was being done on the main street
[12:00] ---
    that night between
    midnight and 3:00 am.
[12:03] ---
    Watanuki unquestionably used that
    sound to dig his hole unnoticed!
[12:08] ---
    I see. So, did you
    tell the police about this?
[12:12] ---
    Of course I did!
[12:14] ---
    But Mochida-san had
    been very drunk that night,
[12:18] ---
    so the police said his
    testimony wasn't credible.
[12:22] ---
    In the end, they only
    questioned Watanuki on ceremony.
[12:28] ---
    He lives alone, and he's almost
    never left his house since that night.
[12:35] ---
    But every Saturday
    morning at around 10:00,
[12:39] ---
    he leaves for Beika Central Hospital
    and is gone for two hours.
[12:44] ---
    So, Mori-san...
[12:46] ---
    Tomorrow is Saturday, so I'd like
    you to come with me to his house
[12:50] ---
    and deduce where
    he buried my sister's body!
[12:53] ---
    I'll dig her up myself, of course!
[12:57] ---
    In other words, you want me
    to sneak into his yard with you?
[13:02] ---
    Yes.
[13:03] ---
    I'm afraid I can't.
[13:06] ---
    It's illegal to enter others'
    yards without permission.
[13:10] ---
    Besides, skilled as I am, it'd be
    impossible to tell, in such a short time,
[13:15] ---
    where a body was
    buried over a month ago.
[13:22] ---
    Koda-san...
[13:23] ---
    Very well.
[13:25] ---
    Just forget it!
[13:27] ---
    Koda-san...
[13:30] ---
    I'm sorry for bothering you.
[13:35] ---
    Umm...
[13:41] ---
    Now I remember!
[13:42] ---
    That person looks
    just like a Mole Alien!
[13:46] ---
    Mole?
[13:47] ---
    Alien?
[13:48] ---
    Oh!
[13:49] ---
    He does, come to think of it!
[13:51] ---
    Right?! Mole Aliens take on
    friends' forms to trick Masked Yaiba!
[13:56] ---
    They suddenly come out
    of the ground, just like moles!
[14:00] ---
    Oh! So that's why he
    wanted to dig up the yard!
[14:04] ---
    Hey, now. That's not why at all.
[14:07] ---
    Are you just going to let him go, Dad?
[14:10] ---
    What am I supposed to do?
    He told me to forget about it.
[14:14] ---
    Besides, he's certain this Watanuki
    killed his sister and buried her,
[14:21] ---
    but there's no proof at all.
[14:24] ---
    Even the shovel sound could've
    come from the street construction.
[14:29] ---
    That's true, but...
[14:31] ---
    Well, I guess
    I can give it a quick check.
[14:34] ---
    Yeah, there is some
    truth to what the old guy says.
[14:38] ---
    We can't say anything for
    sure, at this stage--
[14:41] ---
    Alright! It's decided!
[14:43] ---
    Let's do it!
[14:46] ---
    I got a bad feeling about this...
[14:56] ---
    How did I know we'd be back here?
[14:59] ---
    First, we need to think of
    a way to get inside somehow.
[15:03] ---
    We can assume the gate is locked, so...
[15:06] ---
    Huh?
[15:09] ---
    It's unlocked.
[15:10] ---
    Lucky! He must've gone somewhere!
[15:13] ---
    Alright! Now's our chance!
[15:15] ---
    W-Wait, you guys!
[15:21] ---
    Yes, there's no way to tell
    where she's buried just by looking.
[15:25] ---
    Of course not! We don't even
    know if she really is buried here!
[15:30] ---
    Then let's start digging up
    the place! I'll go find a shovel!
[15:34] ---
    Wait! Genta!
[15:35] ---
    Hey, you!
[15:44] ---
    Beika Police Department
[15:46] ---
    Yes, that Koda fellow
    gave us a bit of trouble, too.
[15:51] ---
    How so?
[15:53] ---
    Watanuki-san lost about 1.5
    million yen in the stock market.
[15:57] ---
    That's a lot of money, but certainly
    not enough to kill someone over.
[16:02] ---
    That's true...
[16:03] ---
    On top of that, he's certain
    Watanuki-san is responsible
[16:07] ---
    and has been following
    him around for a month now.
[16:11] ---
    The way we see it, Watanuki-*san
    *seems more like the victim here.
[16:22] ---
    We're sorry! We just really
    wanted our ball, so we snuck in...
[16:27] ---
    We're really sorry!
[16:28] ---
    We're sorry!
[16:31] ---
    It's all right. I was a bit on edge before.
    I'm sorry I shouted at you.
[16:38] ---
    I found your ball earlier.
[16:41] ---
    I'll give it back,
[16:42] ---
    if you promise never to go to
    those apartments to play again.
[16:46] ---
    Yes! We promise!
[16:48] ---
    Just a minute.
[16:50] ---
    This is great!
[16:51] ---
    Yes!
[16:55] ---
    One message.
[16:59] ---
    This is Beika Central Hospital.
[17:02] ---
    You have a checkup scheduled
    for tomorrow, so be sure to come.
[17:07] ---
    Hey, that sounded like--!
[17:10] ---
    What nonsense! I know that!
    I don't need to be told!
[17:15] ---
    Here!
[17:19] ---
    Now take it and get out of my sight!
[17:22] ---
    O-Okay...
[17:24] ---
    He was acting so nice at first,
    but suddenly grew angry.
[17:28] ---
    He's one moody
    old man, that's for sure.
[17:31] ---
    Hey! Did you hear that phone call?!
[17:33] ---
    Yeah. It sounded a
    lot like Koda-san's voice.
[17:37] ---
    Eh? Koda-san?
[17:38] ---
    You mean that Mole Alien?
[17:41] ---
    There's no question about it.
[17:42] ---
    Koda-san plans to dig up the body
[17:45] ---
    while Watanuki-*san
    *is at the hospital.
[17:50] ---
    But, is there really
    a body buried in this yard?
[17:55] ---
    Even if there is, it'd be impossible
    to tell where it is in just two hours.
[18:02] ---
    What exactly does
    Koda-san plan to do?!
[18:10] ---
    The next day (Saturday)
[18:16] ---
    Hey! Conan! What time is it?
[18:20] ---
    Seven minutes to 10:00.
[18:22] ---
    Even after I told
    them not to come...
[18:25] ---
    That certainly is a big shovel!
[18:28] ---
    I thought I'd help the
    Mole Alien dig up the body!
[18:32] ---
    Say, what do you
    plan to do, Conan-kun?
[18:35] ---
    I intend to stop Koda-san somehow.
[18:38] ---
    Whatever the reason, sneaking
    onto others' property isn't right.
[18:47] ---
    Mitsuhiko! Follow him!
[18:51] ---
    If he decides to come back,
    call us on your Detective League badge!
[18:55] ---
    Right! Understood!
[19:04] ---
    What's taking the Mole Alien so long?
[19:07] ---
    Conan, what time is it?
[19:10] ---
    10:10.
[19:17] ---
    That was Inspector Megure!
[19:21] ---
    Do you think something happened?!
[19:23] ---
    I'll check it out!
[19:24] ---
    Hey! Conan!
[19:27] ---
    Conan-kun...
[19:32] ---
    Let's have a look inside, Inspector.
[19:35] ---
    Inspector Megure!
[19:37] ---
    Oh, Mori-kun.
[19:39] ---
    Go on ahead.
[19:40] ---
    Yes, sir.
[19:44] ---
    I hear there was an armed robbery?
[19:47] ---
    Yes. It took place
    about seven minutes ago and...
[19:51] ---
    Does this mean you weren't
    here when it happened?
[19:54] ---
    No, I just happened
    to be passing by right now.
[19:59] ---
    Oh, I see!
[20:01] ---
    I thought for sure you were at the scene
     of the crime, yet again--
[20:03] ---
    Inspector!
[20:04] ---
    The security camera got a
    look at the robber's face!
[20:07] ---
    Really?!
[20:07] ---
    You know him too, Mori-san!
[20:09] ---
    Huh?
[20:10] ---
    What?
[20:11] ---
    Just come inside!
[20:21] ---
    Inspector! Here he is!
[20:24] ---
    It's him!
[20:25] ---
    Just who is he, Mori-kun?
[20:29] ---
    Koda-san!
[20:31] ---
    This man's name is Koda Masao!
[20:35] ---
    But why is he doing a jewel robbery?!
[20:38] ---
    Whatever the case,
    Koda ran off with a dozen or so jewels!
[20:43] ---
    Inspector Megure!
[20:44] ---
    The robber's motorcycle
    was found near Beika Station!
[20:48] ---
    What?!
[20:48] ---
    What?!
[20:55] ---
    No doubt about it, Inspector.
[20:57] ---
    The plate number matches
    with the witness' testimony perfectly.
[21:01] ---
    Inspector Megure!
[21:02] ---
    We found this on the station stairs!
[21:05] ---
    A jewel...
[21:07] ---
    No question about it! He got on
    the Loop Line from Beika Station!
[21:11] ---
    I want emergency deployment
    at all stations on the Loop Line!
[21:14] ---
    Understood!
[21:15] ---
    Everyone else, continue
    to scour the vicinity!
[21:18] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:19] ---
    Is Ayumi right? Has Koda-*san
    *fooled us just like the Mole Aliens?
[21:26] ---
    Was the whole story
    about his sister a fabrication?!
[21:32] ---
    But why would he make that up?
[21:35] ---
    And, even if he had a reason,
    why would someone so well-prepared
[21:40] ---
    commit the crime without sunglasses
    or a mask to conceal himself
[21:46] ---
    and ditch his getaway
    vehicle for everyone to see?
[21:56] ---
    A leaf? And it's fresh and green...
[22:01] ---
    The fact it's stuck here means
    someone opened this not so long ago!
[22:07] ---
    Wait a minute!
[22:09] ---
    There was one by
    Watanuki-san's back gate, too!
[22:17] ---
    Could it be?
[22:19] ---
    Is Koda-san's true objective...
[24:05] ---
    It's him!
[24:06] ---
    He really is a Mole Alien!
[24:09] ---
    Take me to 1st Street in Beika! Hurry!
[24:12] ---
    R-Right!
[24:13] ---
    Genta-kun! The old
    man is taking a taxi back!
[24:16] ---
    Hey! Mister! Watanuki-*san
    *is gonna be back soon!
[24:21] ---
    If my theory is
    correct, Koda-san is--!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Mystery of the Mole Alien (Part 2)."
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
    Manhole.
[24:51] ---
    What kind of holes does Detective Takagi dig?
[24:53] ---
    His own grave!
[24:55] ---
    Nice dig.
