[00:00] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But the world is even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:06] ---
    Summer! Ocean! Beach!
    Beware of water accidents!
[00:09] ---
    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 White Sandy Beach Murder Case."
[02:05] ---
    It's so pretty...
[02:07] ---
    Yeah.
[02:08] ---
    And there are so few people...
[02:10] ---
    We found a nice place, thanks to Dad!
[02:15] ---
    Yeah, huh?
[02:16] ---
    More like thanks to
    him taking the wrong road...
[02:27] ---
    That hits the spot!
[02:29] ---
    And then the next case I solved was...
[02:34] ---
    Miss...
[02:35] ---
    Huh? Bartender, where's
    that girl who was drinking here?
[02:39] ---
    She left a long time ago.
[02:42] ---
    She did?
[02:43] ---
    Dad! I knew you'd be here!
[02:47] ---
    Oh, Ran and Conan!
    Perfect timing! Come and sit down!
[02:53] ---
    Bartender! Another beer and two juices!
[02:57] ---
    That's okay! We're all leaving now!
[02:59] ---
    What? I haven't had enough to drink yet.
[03:03] ---
    What're you talking about?!
    It's past 10:00 already!
[03:06] ---
    Wouldn't it be lame
    for the great Mori Kogoro
[03:09] ---
    to get wasted in a place like this?
[03:13] ---
    Yeah, that is true.
[03:17] ---
    He's so easy to manipulate.
[03:20] ---
    Umm, are you the famous
    detective, Mori Kogoro-san?
[03:25] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[03:27] ---
    This is amazing!
[03:29] ---
    Could you sit with us and
    tell us about your exploits?!
[03:33] ---
    It'll be our treat!
[03:35] ---
    Oh, that'd be great!
[03:37] ---
    Come on, Dad!
[03:39] ---
    Quit that!
[03:41] ---
    We were having drinks as friends here!
[03:44] ---
    Famous detective or not,
    to be frank, you'd be a pest!
[03:49] ---
    Hey! Tanaka!
[03:50] ---
    Dad, let's go.
[03:52] ---
    Yeah...
[03:54] ---
    I'm sorry! He seems to be drunk!
[03:58] ---
    Creep.
[04:03] ---
    Tanaka-san!
[04:05] ---
    Tanaka-san!
    Have you seen Mitsuko?!
[04:09] ---
    We made plans for an hour ago,
[04:09] ---
    Yamada Tomoko Sekine Mitsuko's friend
[04:10] ---
    but she never showed up,
[04:12] ---
    and she's not at home!
[04:14] ---
    Dunno. Haven't seen her.
[04:16] ---
    Besides, she and I have
    nothing to do with each other.
[04:20] ---
    Could you leave?
[04:34] ---
    I don't feel so good...
[04:36] ---
    This is a hangover,
    if I ever had one...
[04:38] ---
    Dad!
[04:40] ---
    Over here!
[04:43] ---
    The water's nice!
    You should swim!
[04:45] ---
    I feel sick! Swim all you want!
[04:50] ---
    There you have it!
    So let's swim by ourselves!
[04:53] ---
    Okay!
[04:54] ---
    Oh, yeah! I hear it gets a lot
    deeper really fast, so be careful!
[04:59] ---
    Okay!
[05:55] ---
    So, were you the first to find her?
[05:59] ---
    No, they were the
    ones who first found her...
[06:05] ---
    This rope...
[06:08] ---
    That hurt!
[06:09] ---
    Hey, you! Don't scamper
    around and get in the police's way!
[06:13] ---
    Pardon the late introduction.
    I'm Mori Kogoro, a private detective.
[06:20] ---
    Mori... You mean
    the famous detective?!
[06:24] ---
    Yes! The fact I'm known this far
    away puts me at a loss for words!
[06:32] ---
    Whatever. You're not at a loss at all.
[06:35] ---
    Mitsuko!
[06:36] ---
    Mitsuko!
[06:38] ---
    Mitsuko?
[06:42] ---
    You know the victim, Miss?
[06:46] ---
    Yes, she's Sekine Mitsuko.
    My best friend.
[06:51] ---
    I can't believe this would happen...
[06:54] ---
    Excuse me, Detective.
[06:56] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:58] ---
    Oh, you're...
[07:00] ---
    We meet again.
[07:02] ---
    Oh? You know each other?
[07:05] ---
    No, we just happened to meet once.
[07:07] ---
    Oh, I see.
[07:09] ---
    In that case, this is Dr. Tanaka.
    I asked him to examine the body.
[07:15] ---
    He's the most skilled doctor in town!
[07:17] ---
    It's a real honor.
[07:19] ---
    And this is the famous
    detective, Mori Kogoro-san!
[07:24] ---
    Your reputation precedes you.
[07:26] ---
    If it's not too much to ask,
    I'd love to have your help on this case.
[07:33] ---
    I have no objections.
[07:36] ---
    That's great to hear!
    After all, this is a quiet little town!
[07:40] ---
    We're not used
    to incidents like this at all!
[07:43] ---
    Umm, shouldn't
    I begin my examination?
[07:45] ---
    Oh, right! I forgot!
[07:49] ---
    Then I'll get started.
[07:55] ---
    Pardon me.
[08:05] ---
    Well, Doctor?
[08:07] ---
    Hmm... I can't say anything for
    sure until we get to the hospital,
[08:13] ---
    but this may have been a suicide.
[08:16] ---
    Suicide?!
[08:17] ---
    See? There are no external
    injuries or signs of a struggle at all.
[08:22] ---
    If it had been a murder,
    there would've been a fight
[08:25] ---
    as the killer tried
    to throw her into the sea.
[08:28] ---
    Yet, she doesn't have
    a single scratch on her.
[08:32] ---
    Oh, I see! You're absolutely right!
[08:36] ---
    She probably rowed out
    to sea in a boat or something,
[08:40] ---
    tied the rock to her feet,
    and drowned herself.
[08:45] ---
    What's with this guy?
[08:47] ---
    He says he can't say much
    before going to the hospital,
[08:50] ---
    but it's like he's trying to force
    the idea she committed suicide.
[08:53] ---
    Though, that's only my guess for now.
[08:56] ---
    Now, if you'll please
    take the body to the hospital...
[09:00] ---
    I'll come with you.
[09:04] ---
    Murderer...
[09:06] ---
    Mitsuko wouldn't
    commit suicide! He killed her!
[09:14] ---
    Are you saying
    that doctor is a murderer?
[09:18] ---
    That's right!
[09:19] ---
    Do you have any sort of proof?
[09:21] ---
    I have no proof! But,
[09:25] ---
    he and Mitsuko had been dating!
[09:32] ---
    But he didn't seem to act that way...
[09:35] ---
    He even promised to marry her,
[09:39] ---
    but then got engaged to the daughter
    of the head of a major hospital!
[09:42] ---
    Mitsuko was in the way, so...
[09:45] ---
    Even now, he pretended not to know her!
[09:47] ---
    Isn't it strange he didn't even
    flinch after his girlfriend died?!
[09:52] ---
    Yes, that is suspicious.
[09:55] ---
    Exactly.
[09:56] ---
    He tried to force the idea of
    suicide in his examination just now,
[10:01] ---
    and, judging from the body's condition,
    it's very likely he killed her!
[10:08] ---
    But, if so, why do something so daring
[10:11] ---
    as killing her and then examining her?
[10:15] ---
    Very well, Miss. I, the great Mori Kogoro,
    will reveal his true colors
[10:22] ---
    to avenge Mitsuko-san!
[10:25] ---
    Really?! Thank you!
[10:28] ---
    Are you really sure
    you can do that, old guy?
[10:32] ---
    Police Department
[10:34] ---
    After my examination, it
    appears she did drown to death.
[10:39] ---
    All other causes were ruled out.
[10:42] ---
    Her estimated time of death
    is just past 10:00 last night.
[10:46] ---
    Dr. Tanaka.
[10:48] ---
    Yes?
[10:48] ---
    I heard something from
    the victim's friend on the beach...
[10:54] ---
    Is it true that you and the victim,
    Mitsuko-san, had been dating?
[11:00] ---
    Say what?! Is this true, Dr. Tanaka?!
[11:04] ---
    I apologize. I should've
    mentioned it at the very start.
[11:09] ---
    I hear you're marrying the
    daughter of the head of a major hospital.
[11:15] ---
    What about it?
[11:17] ---
    Did that not make
    Mitsuko-san an obstacle?
[11:21] ---
    What are you insinuating?!
[11:24] ---
    It just seems strange
    for someone with a motive
[11:28] ---
    to conduct an autopsy when it's
    unclear if it was a murder or suicide.
[11:32] ---
    It was clearly a suicide!
[11:33] ---
    No, a lack of external injuries
    isn't enough. There isn't even a will.
[11:38] ---
    Could you tell us where you
    were at her estimated time of death?
[11:48] ---
    Last night, I was at a bar
    with a friend, from 8:00 to midnight.
[11:53] ---
    Oh, yes. The place where I met you.
[11:57] ---
    What?!
[11:58] ---
    By car, it'd take ten minutes
    from that bar to the beach, one-way.
[12:04] ---
    If you'd like, you can check
    with the owner and my friend
[12:10] ---
    to see if I had left
    my seat for that long.
[12:16] ---
    Come to think of it, just after 10:00
    was when we came to get you.
[12:22] ---
    What?!
[12:23] ---
    In other words, Mori-san,
    you can vouch for my alibi.
[12:30] ---
    It's a perfect alibi... Is this
    his source of confidence?!
[12:35] ---
    But you gave the estimated time
    of death! I want a reexamination!
[12:43] ---
    As you like.
[12:45] ---
    But you'll have to take responsibility
    when I'm proven innocent.
[12:50] ---
    Alright, then!
[12:52] ---
    Detective! Make arrangements at once!
[12:55] ---
    Right!
[12:56] ---
    Say, Detective. This might
    take a long time, so can I leave?
[13:01] ---
    Oh, that would be fine.
[13:03] ---
    Also, can I borrow a bicycle anywhere?
    I want to explore this area!
[13:09] ---
    Oh, in that case...
[13:14] ---
    Judging from
    his confident manner,
[13:16] ---
    a reexamination will
    probably give the same results.
[13:21] ---
    There has to be some
    sort of trick! Something...
[13:25] ---
    I will destroy his alibi!
[13:40] ---
    Do you usually sit here
    and stare at the ocean, Mister?
[13:43] ---
    Yeah.
[13:44] ---
    Yesterday, too?
[13:45] ---
    Yeah.
[13:46] ---
    Did you notice anything unusual?
[13:48] ---
    Nothing at all.
[13:51] ---
    I figured...
[13:53] ---
    The only unusual thing is
    the trash that washes up every day...
[13:59] ---
    Trash?
[14:00] ---
    Yeah, all the trash in these waters
    washes up here 'cause of the tide.
[14:08] ---
    Trash, huh...
[14:10] ---
    Say, where is this trash?
[14:12] ---
    I have it piled in the back.
[14:16] ---
    Geez! The ocean isn't a garbage dump!
[14:22] ---
    An inner tube. It's still new;
    is it ripped somewhere?
[14:27] ---
    Is this it? There's a small hole...
[14:31] ---
    Hole? Small?
[14:34] ---
    That's it! Could it be?!
[14:38] ---
    Hey, Mister!
[14:41] ---
    Did this inner tube wash up today?
[14:43] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[14:45] ---
    Can I have it?
[14:47] ---
    Yeah, sure.
[14:48] ---
    And can I have a couple
    of these empty plastic bottles too?
[14:53] ---
    Yeah, dunno what you want
    with 'em, but take whatever you want.
[15:01] ---
    The flow of the tide
    and the deflated inner tube!
[15:05] ---
    If my theory is correct,
    these plastic bottles should make it clear!
[15:28] ---
    Alright! Now I just wait on the beach!
[15:40] ---
    Here it comes!
[15:49] ---
    Just as I thought! That just leaves
    the store that sold the inner tube!
[15:56] ---
    The reexamination produced
    the same results as mine, Mori-san.
[16:04] ---
    Now, what do you have
    to say for yourself, Mori-san?
[16:07] ---
    Is suspecting innocent people
    what all great detectives do?
[16:12] ---
    Oh, uhh, pardon me a minute...
[16:16] ---
    Oh? Running away?
[16:18] ---
    No, just the restroom.
    Don't wanna wet myself...
[16:24] ---
    Damn! I was sure he did it, too...
[16:33] ---
    Alright, here we go!
[16:35] ---
    What was that?
[16:38] ---
    Dad?
[16:39] ---
    I apologize for the wait, everyone!
    Please come to the next room!
[16:44] ---
    Dad!
[16:47] ---
    What is this, Mori-san?
[16:50] ---
    Changing rooms
    to regain your bearings?
[16:52] ---
    I suppose.
[16:54] ---
    Now, then! Allow me to
    reveal the truth of this incident!
[17:00] ---
    This incident was a murder!
    And the killer was you, Dr. Tanaka!
[17:10] ---
    But, Mori-san! Wasn't it proved
    that Dr. Tanaka has an alibi?!
[17:16] ---
    Yes, he was at the bar at
    the victim's estimated time of death.
[17:22] ---
    He killed her while he drank.
[17:26] ---
    I-Is that possible?!
[17:29] ---
    There's no doubt she died at
    the location Conan and Ran found her.
[17:35] ---
    However, the actual
    crime took place elsewhere.
[17:41] ---
    First, Tanaka-san called
    her to a separate location
[17:46] ---
    and knocked her out with
    chloroform or some other drug.
[17:50] ---
    As a doctor, obtaining
    such drugs would be simple.
[17:56] ---
    You then used rope to
    tie a heavy rock to her feet,
[18:01] ---
    placed her in an inner
    tube with a small hole in it,
[18:04] ---
    and let her float in the ocean.
[18:06] ---
    Immediately afterward, you
    went to the bar with your friend...
[18:12] ---
    ...to create an alibi.
[18:14] ---
    During that time, Mitsuko-*san
    *floated along the current, still alive.
[18:22] ---
    There's a tidal current here
    that flows toward the swimming area.
[18:29] ---
    So she was washed
    toward the beach while still alive.
[18:34] ---
    The inner tube continued to
    deflate, and eventually,
[18:42] ---
    the inner tube could no
    longer support her weight,
[18:45] ---
    so Mitsuko-san sank into the sea.
[18:50] ---
    All while you were drinking at the bar.
[18:57] ---
    Judging from the speed
    at which the inner tube deflated,
[19:00] ---
    you likely sent her adrift at around 7:00.
[19:05] ---
    You arrived at the bar yesterday at 8:00.
[19:09] ---
    Can you prove your alibi for 7:00?
[19:12] ---
    Absurd! That's nothing but conjecture!
[19:15] ---
    She could've used the inner
    tube to commit suicide herself!
[19:20] ---
    That's not a possibility.
[19:22] ---
    What?
[19:23] ---
    Detective, show him a
    photograph of the victim's feet.
[19:32] ---
    Here we are.
[19:33] ---
    Okay, Ran.
[19:35] ---
    Tie your own feet,
    just like in the photograph.
[19:39] ---
    Okay.
[19:43] ---
    All done, Dad.
[19:45] ---
    Detective, please compare
    that photograph with Ran's feet.
[19:51] ---
    The knots are reversed.
[19:54] ---
    Normally, if you tie your own feet,
    you'll get a knot like Ran's.
[20:00] ---
    Then why is the knot
    in the photograph reversed?
[20:04] ---
    It's because the killer
    tied her feet facing her.
[20:09] ---
    That doesn't mean that I killed her!
[20:12] ---
    Conan found a brand new inner
    tube with a small hole on the beach.
[20:20] ---
    Here it is, Detective!
[20:23] ---
    That's the inner tube you used, isn't it?
[20:27] ---
    I-I've never seen it before!
[20:30] ---
    It was easy finding the shop
    where you bought this inner tube.
[20:35] ---
    After all, it is a small town.
[20:38] ---
    This is the inner tube
    Dr. Tanaka bought last week.
[20:43] ---
    But he said it was for an
    acquaintance's daughter. How strange...
[20:48] ---
    The shop woman clearly
    remembered you buying it.
[20:54] ---
    And you must've felt
    quite confident about this trick...
[20:57] ---
    Enough not to wipe away
    your fingerprints from the inner tube!
[21:02] ---
    Now then, why would your
    fingerprints be on an inner tube
[21:07] ---
    you said you've never seen before?
[21:11] ---
    Dr. Tanaka! You--?!
[22:54] ---
    I wish we could've
    stayed another day...
[22:58] ---
    So, Dad! I don't mind if
    you take the wrong road again!
[23:01] ---
    D-Don't be stupid! I didn't
    take the wrong road yesterday!
[23:06] ---
    A case called for the great Mori Kogoro!
[23:10] ---
    I'd never take the wrong road otherwise!
[23:14] ---
    But you got it wrong in the end anyway...
[23:20] ---
    What happened, Dad?
[23:22] ---
    This is the shore we just left from!
[23:25] ---
    That's strange...
[23:27] ---
    I got it! The sea called
    us here to stay another night!
[23:32] ---
    That's stupid. Of course it didn't...
[23:35] ---
    But you'd never take the
    wrong road otherwise, right?
[23:40] ---
    Yeah! You couldn't help it;
    the sea called us here!
[23:45] ---
    Really?
[23:46] ---
    Really!
[23:46] ---
    Really!
[23:47] ---
    Yeah, huh? I'd never take
    the wrong road otherwise!
[23:52] ---
    Okay! Another night!
[23:56] ---
    He's so easy to manipulate.
[24:04] ---
    Something doesn't seem right!
[24:09] ---
    She's drowning!
[24:11] ---
    What was that?
[24:15] ---
    That's--!
[24:17] ---
    Don't move her!
[24:19] ---
    Kiwako-san might've
    been bitten by a sea snake!
[24:22] ---
    There they are! Bite marks!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Scuba Diving Murder Case (Part 1)."
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
    Feather.
[24:52] ---
    Next episode features scuba diving.
[24:54] ---
    Don't miss it.
[24:56] ---
