SIGN    Takagi and Date and the Notebook Promise 
    (Part One)
[02:40] Conan
    "Takagi and Date and the
    Notebook Promise, Part One!"
[02:46] Ayumi
    Professor Agasa seemed to be doing well.
[02:48] Genta
    Yeah. He was wolfing down
    the bananas we brought for him.
[02:53] Mitsuhiko
    I'm glad he'll be able to
    leave the hospital soon.
[02:56] Genta
    Yeah.
[02:57] Mitsuhiko
    But doesn't that mean you're staying
    at the professor's house by yourself?
[03:01] Haibara
    Yes.
[03:04] Mitsuhiko
    If you ever get lonely, let us know.
[03:07] Ayumi
    I'll come sleep over.
[03:09] Genta
    And I'll come over to play games.
[03:11] Haibara
    I'm fine. I'm quite comfortable
    with all the space.
[03:15] Mitsuhiko
    I know. Let's walk Haibara-san back
    to the professor's house right now!
[03:20] Ayumi
    Yeah!
[03:21] Genta
    And then let's play games together!
[03:23] Mitsuhiko
    Good idea.
[03:24] Haibara
    Since your mother started
    stopping by to cook all the time,
[03:29] Haibara
    the house has been livelier than ever.
[03:31] Conan
    I'm glad to hear that.
[03:35] Conan
    Looks like you've regained
    your previous energy.
[03:39] Haibara
    Of course I have.
[03:41] Haibara
    I can't be scared forever.
[03:47] Takagi
    Stop!
[03:53] Thief
    Move!
[03:58] All
    D-Detective Sato!
[03:59] Thief
    I told you to move!
[04:06] All
    Wow!
[04:08] Sato
    The serial robber has been apprehended.
[04:12] Takagi
    Our pincer move worked well.
[04:14] Police A
    What? You caught him?
[04:16] Sato
    Yes. It was a piece of cake.
[04:18] Sato
    Takagi-kun, what time is it?
[04:20] Takagi
    Let's see. The suspect was
    apprehended at 11:04AM.
[04:25] Sato
    Okay.
[04:26] Sato
    Could you take the suspect
    down to the station?
[04:29] Sato
    Takagi-kun and I will
    drive there after lunch.
[04:34] Police B
    Yes, ma'am.
[04:37] Sato
    Make sure you note down the time.
[04:40] Sato
    We might forget once our
    stomachs are full of lunch.
[04:43] Takagi
    Right.
[04:44] Takagi
    Let's see. 11:04AM...
[04:49] Takagi/Id
    This is Date-san's handwriting.
[04:52] Takagi/Id
    "Meeting Takagi on Sunday."
[04:55] Takagi/Id
    Isn't this...?
[04:59] (Flashback) Date
    Come with me next Sunday.
[05:02] (Flashback) Date
    I'll make a man out of you.
[05:06] (Flashback) Date
    Damn it.
[05:07] (Flashback) Date
    This is all we got
    from staking out all night?
[05:13] (Flashback) Date
    Don't worry.
[05:15] (Flashback) Date
    You can count on me.
[05:18] (Flashback) Daet
    I know. I'll show you something special.
[05:21] (Flashback) Takagi
    What is it?
[05:23] (Flashback) Date
    Oh, it's...
[05:26] (Flashback) Date
    Damn.
[05:36] Sato
    Takagi-kun. Takagi-kun. Takagi.
[05:40] Sato
    Wataru!
[05:42] Takagi
    Yes?
[05:43] Sato
    What happened? You zoned out.
[05:46] Takagi
    E-Er...
[05:48] Takagi
    Seeing Date-san's note
    reminded me of the past.
[05:54] Sato
    You're still using Date-san's notebook?
[05:58] Sato
    So, what's the note say?
[05:59] Takagi
    It's this one. "Meeting Takagi on Sunday."
[06:03] Sato
    I'm actually more interested in the
    numbers and symbols below that.
[06:11] Sato
    Is it a code that starts with an asterisk
    and ends with a pound sign?
[06:15] Sato
    Did Date-san say anything about it?
[06:17] Takagi
    No. All I remember is him saying,
    "Come with me next Sunday."
[06:23] Conan
    Hey.
[06:25] Conan
    Can I see? I might be able to figure it out.
[06:29] Takagi
    I don't know.
[06:32] Takagi
    This one might even be difficult for you.
[06:37] Conan
    It looks like a time, date,
    and business address.
[06:43] Both
    What?
[06:45] Takagi
    You can read it?
[06:46] Conan
    Yeah. Codes like these are used
[06:49] Conan
    to send messages from pay phones
    and landlines to cell phones.
[06:54] Sato
    Did Date-san say anything else
    when he invited you?
[06:58] Takagi
    What? Oh, yes.
[07:01] (Flashback) Date
    I'll make a man out of you.
[07:04] Sato
    Huh? What does that mean?
[07:06] Sato
    Don't tell me the two of you visited
    some kind of questionable business.
[07:10] Takagi
    No. Date-san died in a traffic accident
    right after he invited me.
[07:16] Conan
    It's not a questionable business.
[07:18] Both
    What?
[07:19] Conan
    Because this business is...
[07:23] Both
    Poirot?
[07:25] Sato
    Is this really the shop written
    in Date-san's notebook?
[07:29] Conan
    Yup.
[07:33] Azusa
    Oh, it's you kids. Welcome.
[07:36] Azusa
    You're with the kids today?
[07:38] Takagi
    Uh, yeah.
[07:40] Azusa
    Table for seven.
[07:42] Amuro
    Got it.
[07:46] Genta
    Can we really get whatever we want?
[07:49] Sato
    Of course. Takagi-kun is paying.
[07:51] All
    All right!
[07:53] Takagi
    What?
[07:55] Sato
    So, how do these numbers written in
    Date-san's notebook indicate this place?
[08:00] Conan
    It's simple.
[08:01] Conan
    First, calling the SMS center of a phone
    company from a touch-tone phone
[08:08] Conan
    will play an automated message.
[08:10] Conan
    Follow the instructions and
    enter the receiver's phone number.
[08:14] Conan
    Begin your message with 22,
[08:18] Conan
    compose a message using two numbers
    per character according to this table,
[08:24] Conan
    and finish by putting two #s at the end.
[08:27] Conan
    Azusa-neechan.
[08:29] Azusa
    Yes?
[08:30] Conan
    Could you use this method to
    send the numbers in this note
[08:33] Conan
    as a message to my phone
    from the café's phone?
[08:36] Azusa
    Sure.
[08:42] Azusa
    Sent.
[08:46] Conan
    See? I received a message.
[08:49] Sato
    You're right.
[08:50] Takagi
    "Sunday afternoon, 12PM, Beika City 5-6."
[08:55] Takagi
    "Poirot window seat.
    Wear a red necktie and wait."
[09:00] Conan
    This service they offered when
    people used pagers is still around.
[09:04] Takagi
    Huh.
[09:05] Takagi
    But what does this message have to do with
    Date-san telling me he'd make a man out of me?
[09:11] Amuro
    Judging by the contents of the message,
[09:14] Amuro
    perhaps he meant he'd turn you into a proper
    police detective by letting you solve a case.
[09:19] Amuro
    It sounds like someone was trying
    to make a shady deal here.
[09:27] Amuro
    But I don't know this officer named Date,
    so I'm just guessing.
[09:37] Sato
    Has he always worked here?
[09:39] Takagi
    His name is Amuro-san.
    Apparently he's also a detective.
[09:44] Conan/Id
    He's actually a Public Safety officer though.
[09:47] Sato
    But that employee is right.
[09:50] Sato
    It's likely he meant to come here with you,
    arrest the people making a shady deal,
[09:56] Sato
    and let you take the credit.
[10:00] Takagi
    Yes, but that was a year ago,
    and Date-san is dead.
[10:07] Takagi
    There's no way to confirm it now.
[10:11] Haibara
    But why does the message say to wear
    a red necktie in the window seat?
[10:15] Conan
    So they could see if the person
    they were meeting arrived,
[10:19] Conan
    without going inside the store.
[10:24] Haibara
    What were they going to do once
    they confirmed their presence?
[10:27] Conan
    Well, if it were me, I'd leave
    something under the table.
[10:34] Conan/Id
    Tape?
[10:36] Conan
    Hey, Azusa-neechan.
[10:37] Azusa
    What?
[10:38] Conan
    Did you see anyone sit here
[10:41] Conan
    and remove something with tape
    on it from under the table?
[10:47] Conan
    Or anyone who asked to switch
    seats with someone to sit here?
[10:53] Conan
    Since it was around 12PM a year ago, it
    wouldn't surprise me if you don't remember.
[11:00] Azusa
    I didn't notice anyone like that,
[11:03] Azusa
    but I did find a gaming device with tape
    on it on the floor by that window seat.
[11:09] Conan
    On the floor?
[11:10] Azusa
    Yeah.
[11:11] Conan
    What did you do with the device?
[11:13] Azusa
    I've still got it. I'll go get it.
[11:17] Sato
    That's odd, though.
[11:18] Sato
    After confirming the other person
    arrived, whoever sent the code
[11:23] Sato
    probably used some function of the gaming
    device to communicate with them.
[11:27] Takagi
    So how could they forget the device
    they used to communicate?
[11:31] Conan
    Even if they erased their communication,
[11:34] Conan
    it's hard to imagine they
    accidentally left it behind.
[11:37] Conan
    I'd understand if they'd thrown it away.
[11:40] Takagi
    Maybe they forgot because
    they were in a hurry.
[11:44] Sato
    Then wouldn't they have come back for it?
[11:46] Sato
    It's just a gaming device.
[11:48] Haibara
    Or maybe...
[11:50] Haibara
    whoever was supposed to show up never did,
[11:55] Haibara
    and the gaming device fell
    naturally after some time.
[12:02] Genta
    Hey, that's a Game Man7.
[12:06] Mitsuhiko
    I have one, too.
[12:08] Ayumi
    Me, too.
[12:09] Azusa
    Here.
[12:12] Conan/Id
    Of course the batteries are dead.
[12:15] Azusa
    When I found it, some kind
    of game was in sleep mode.
[12:20] Takagi
    Do you remember seeing anyone
    suspicious looking into the café?
[12:26] Azusa
    I'm not sure that I saw anyone suspicious.
[12:30] Azusa
    I remember the gesturing
    boy really well, though.
[12:34] Conan
    Gesturing boy?
[12:37] Azusa
    A car parked in front of the café for
    about five minutes on Sunday afternoon.
[12:42] Azusa
    The boy in the back seat folded his thumb
[12:45] Azusa
    and then gripped and released it
    with his remaining four fingers.
[12:52] Azusa
    It was cute the way he did it over and over.
[12:57] Conan
    Was that boy a foreign kid?
[13:00] Azusa
    What? Yes. He was blond, so probably.
[13:04] Conan
    That's the "signal for help" gesture
    originally from Canada.
[13:11] All
    What?
[13:12] Conan
    That boy was probably
    the subject of the deal.
[13:17] Conan
    But there's nothing we can do now
    if that happened a year ago.
[13:20] Azusa
    But it didn't happen a year ago.
[13:24] Azusa
    It just happened last week.
[13:26] All
    What?
[13:34] Conan
    Is that true, Azusa-neechan?
[13:36] Conan
    That boy was really in front
    of the café last week?
[13:40] Azusa
    Y-Yes.
[13:42] Azusa
    The car was parked in a spot
    visible from this table.
[13:46] Azusa
    In the rear window,
[13:48] Azusa
    like I said, he repeatedly grabbed
    his thumb with his other four fingers
[13:54] Azusa
    while looking this way, the
    entire time the car was parked.
[14:01] Azusa
    I had no idea he was signaling for help.
[14:06] Azusa
    Since he does it every week, I thought
    he remembered me and was saying hello.
[14:12] Conan
    E-Every week?
[14:14] Conan
    That boy has been coming here every week?
[14:16] Azusa
    Yes. I only started noticing
    about six months ago though.
[14:21] Conan
    Amuro-san, have you seen that car?
[14:24] Amuro
    No. Today my shift started in the morning,
[14:28] Amuro
    but on most Sundays I don't start until 1PM.
[14:32] Sato
    But what does this mean?
[14:34] Sato
    Didn't Date-san invite you here a year ago?
[14:38] Takagi
    Yes.
[14:39] Sato
    Then the deal written in Date-san's notebook
[14:42] Sato
    about wearing a red necktie
    in the window seat at Poirot
[14:49] Sato
    must've ended a long time ago.
[14:51] Sato
    Maybe that boy has nothing
    to do with the deal.
[14:55] Conan
    Detective Takagi, do you
    remember anything else?
[14:59] Conan
    Any cases Date-san was involved
    with concerning young boys?
[15:05] Takagi/Id
    One year ago... Deals... Young boys...
[15:09] Takagi/Id
    A foreign boy...
[15:14] (Flashback) Date
    Don't worry.
[15:15] (Flashback) Date
    You can count on me.
[15:20] Sato
    A kidnapping of a foreign boy?
[15:24] Takagi
    Yes, something like that
    happened a year ago.
[15:28] Takagi
    A French car maker named VP Pierre Cassel
    was working at his company's Japanese branch.
[15:35] Takagi
    The kidnappers took
    the younger of his two sons,
[15:38] Takagi
    Alan Cassel-kun, was seven at the time.
[15:41] Takagi
    Witnesses saw two men kidnap him
    while he was playing with friends in a park.
[15:47] Takagi
    The next day, the culprit called from a
    payphone demanding a 50 million yen ransom.
[15:54] Takagi
    The police traced the call back
    to the pay phone's location,
[15:59] Takagi
    but the culprit narrowly escaped
    and was never heard from again.
[16:05] Takagi
    It's still an unsolved case.
[16:08] Sato
    I see.
[16:10] Sato
    Wait, but Date-san transferred to
    the MPD after Matsuda-kun's death.
[16:19] Sato
    Since coming here, like us,
[16:22] Sato
    he worked in violent crimes, who deal
    with murders and armed robberies.
[16:28] Sato
    Aren't kidnappings the purview
    of special victims?
[16:32] Sato
    Why was Date-san involved in that case?
[16:35] Takagi
    Date-san lived next door to VP Cassel.
[16:39] Takagi
    He was asked to join the investigation
    because he knew the area.
[16:44] Takagi
    I lived relatively close by,
    so I was invited as well.
[16:47] Sato
    I remember now.
[16:50] Sato
    The suspect was a member of the Deisan Group,
[16:52] Sato
    who was arguing with the car
    maker over land rights.
[16:56] Takagi
    Yes, that's what the
    investigative team thought.
[17:00] Takagi
    But Date-san had his eye on a former
    gang leader named Kido Natsufusa
[17:06] Takagi
    with a lot of gambling debt.
[17:10] Takagi
    The day after the ransom call, we went to
    his apartment and staked it out all night.
[17:19] Takagi
    And on the third night...
[17:26] Takagi
    A drunk struck Kido with a beer bottle,
    putting him in critical condition.
[17:32] Takagi
    Kido angrily pushed the drunk when
    he chastised him for his long phone call.
[17:38] Takagi
    He said he got upset and hit him
    with a bottle he found lying around.
[17:45] Takagi
    Later, Date-san found something
    resembling a note near the phone booth.
[17:49] Takagi
    He told me to call forensics, so I did.
[17:54] Takagi
    When he handed the note to them...
[17:59] Date
    Come with me next Sunday.
[18:01] (Flashback) Date
    I'll make a man out of you.
[18:05] Takagi
    ...is what he said.
[18:06] Sato
    What's Kido doing now?
[18:09] Takagi
    He was unconscious for a while,
    but he took a turn for the worse,
[18:14] Takagi
    and he died about a week after the incident.
[18:18] Sato
    I see.
[18:20] Sato
    If Date-san copied these numbers into his
    notebook while he was waiting for forensics,
[18:28] Sato
    and the kidnappers were never
    heard from after that,
[18:31] Sato
    then it's practically certain
    Kido kidnapped Alan Cassel-kun.
[18:37] Takagi
    Yes.
[18:38] Haibara
    The question is, why is that deal
    still ongoing one year later?
[18:44] Conan
    Yeah. It's possible Kido had a lackey.
[18:49] Conan
    If his boss Kido told him to drive the kidnapped
    boy to the café every Sunday at 12PM,
[18:58] Conan
    and he doesn't know Kido died,
[19:00] Conan
    then it's possible his lackey is still
    faithfully carrying out those instructions.
[19:06] Sato
    Yes. He might've told him not to
    contact him until the deal was made.
[19:11] Mitsuhiko
    Wait a minute.
[19:13] Ayumi
    Today is Sunday.
[19:15] Genta
    And it's 11:54 right now, which means...
[19:19] Sato
    In five minutes, the kidnapper's accomplice
    will show up in a car outside this window?
[19:26] Takagi
    We should call the station
    and request backup.
[19:29] Sato
    No. They'll show up while we're still
    explaining the situation on the phone.
[19:34] Conan
    I've got a red necktie.
[19:37] Conan
    Maybe we could pretend we're
    here to meet the kidnapper.
[19:39] Sato
    But if they realize it's a trap,
    they might drive away.
[19:43] Sato
    The boy's life would be in danger.
[19:46] Sato
    It'd be ideal if we could make
    the culprit get out of the car.
[19:50] Sato
    But to do that, we need to know how they
    intended to retrieve the ransom money.
[19:55] Conan
    How did the kidnapper say
    to bring the 50 million yen?
[19:59] Takagi
    They said in their phone demand
    to put it in a duralumin case.
[20:06] Takagi
    They specifically demanded a
    15-centimeter thick 50 by 30 centimeter case.
[20:12] Conan
    They even specified the size of the case?
[20:15] Takagi
    Yeah.
[20:16] Conan/Id
    But why?
[20:18] Azusa
    Um...
[20:20] Azusa
    This might be unrelated,
[20:23] Azusa
    but I once saw a thin line drawn in permanent
    marker on the sofa by the window seat.
[20:29] Azusa
    It was drawn on the seat towards
    the wall, forming a triangle.
[20:34] Azusa
    I erased it though.
[20:36] Azusa
    And there was a paper bag with handles
    between the seat and the floor.
[20:42] Sato
    A paper bag?
[20:43] Amuro
    I see. The culprit probably intended
    to give the following instructions
[20:49] Amuro
    to whoever brought the ransom money.
[20:51] Amuro
    "Place the duralumin case on the line
    drawn on the sofa diagonally,
[20:55] Amuro
    creating a triangular space."
[20:59] Amuro
    "Pretend to fill the paper bag with money
[21:04] Amuro
    while hiding the money
    in the triangular space."
[21:09] Amuro
    "Pay for your meal, and leave the store
    with the empty paper bag."
[21:14] Amuro
    It would look like only
    the empty case was left behind,
[21:20] Amuro
    so the culprit could enter the café
    and remove their coat,
[21:24] Amuro
    concealing the case and money with it.
[21:27] Amuro
    Then they'd remove the case
    from beneath their coat
[21:31] Amuro
    and hand it over to an employee
    as a lost item.
[21:36] Amuro
    Finally, they'd secretly pack the money
    into a bag they brought into the café.
[21:42] Takagi
    I see. That must be it.
[21:46] Sato
    Hey, you.
[21:48] Amuro
    Yes?
[21:49] Sato
    Have we met before?
[21:51] Amuro
    What? Today's our first time meeting.
[21:55] Sato
    Oh, yeah?
[21:56] Conan
    In any case, we need to
    charge this Game Man7.
[22:00] Ayumi
    We're charging it right now.
[22:02] Mitsuhiko
    Azusa-san had an adapter.
[22:05] Genta
    We can probably turn it on
    in about ten minutes.
[22:07] Conan
    Okay. Azusa-neechan, do
    you still have that paper bag?
[22:12] Azusa
    Yeah. I'll go get it.
[22:17] Conan
    Okay, then.
[22:19] Conan
    Will the rest of you follow my plan?

[23:51] Sato
    Could I ask you a few questions?
[23:58] Conan
    Why didn't he run when he wasn't tied up?
[24:02] Amuro
    In other words, they were
    in the car for 30 minutes.
