[00:01] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But the world is even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:06] ---
    Today is a weather lady!
    Pager logic will clear the heart!
[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 Weather Lady Abduction Case."
[02:03] ---
    Towels, towels!
[02:05] ---
    A little more and we'd
    be super-sopping wet...
[02:09] ---
    The weather lady was right!
    Thunderstorms this afternoon!
[02:12] ---
    Huh? Where's Mr. Mori?
[02:14] ---
    He's on a work trip.
[02:18] ---
    Huh? There's a message on here.
[02:21] ---
    Hey, now. Don't go touching it.
[02:25] ---
    You have one message.
[02:27] ---
    Geez.
[02:28] ---
    Hello, this is
    Asano Aki from Nichiuri TV.
[02:33] ---
    I'm calling because I need to
    speak with you about something urgent.
[02:37] ---
    You appear to be out,
    so I'll call again later.
[02:41] ---
    Who's Asano Aki?
[02:43] ---
    The weather lady! You know,
    she does the weather on Nichiuri TV!
[02:48] ---
    Yeah! She's on "News City" too!
[02:51] ---
    She's super cool! I'm a big fan of hers!
[02:56] ---
    But what could she urgently
    need to talk to him about?
[03:00] ---
    Alright! Let's talk with her instead,
    as the Junior Detective League!
[03:06] ---
    Yeah!
[03:08] ---
    Hey, now...
[03:10] ---
    Nichiuri TV
[03:11] ---
    Oh?
[03:12] ---
    Asano Aki (27) Weather lady and newscaster
[03:13] ---
    So you came all the way here in Mori-san's place?
[03:17] ---
    Yes! If you need help, leave it
    to us, the Junior Detective League!
[03:23] ---
    Oh, are you
    greeting children today?
[03:26] ---
    Tsukumo-san...
[03:29] ---
    Having to deal with kids just to gain popularity...
[03:29] ---
    Tsukumo Kazumi (31) Newscaster
[03:34] ---
    Big-name newscasters sure have it tough!
[03:36] ---
    Yikes, what gaudy makeup.
[03:39] ---
    What's with that fingernail?
[03:41] ---
    That's not what I'm doing.
[03:43] ---
    Behave yourselves, kiddies.
    Don't get in the way of her work.
[03:54] ---
    What an unpleasant person!
[03:56] ---
    Isn't she the person who
    did the news before you did?
[04:00] ---
    That's right. We switched
    places about half a year ago.
[04:04] ---
    Was she what you wanted
    to talk to Mr. Mori about?
[04:09] ---
    No... A-Actually, uhh...
[04:13] ---
    I was wondering if Detective
    Mori-san would be on News City!
[04:17] ---
    Aww, what a downer.
[04:21] ---
    What a relief it wasn't a case...
[04:24] ---
    What's that sound?
[04:25] ---
    What is that?
[04:27] ---
    It's a pager.
[04:29] ---
    Ran-neechan told me to take it
    because I always suddenly disappear.
[04:34] ---
    Oh! You're so lucky!
[04:35] ---
    You had a cell phone, Mitsuhiko!
[04:38] ---
    It was only a receiver!
[04:40] ---
    But it broke, right?
[04:42] ---
    Yes, for the sake of justice...
[04:44] ---
    Oh? Really?
[04:46] ---
    Oh, this is the detective agency's number,
    so it must be Ran-neechan!
[04:51] ---
    Oh, I know! Could you give
    me your pager's number?
[04:55] ---
    I can contact you when I need
    the Junior Detective League's help!
[04:59] ---
    Awesome! Hey, Conan!
[05:01] ---
    Sure! It's written right here!
[05:05] ---
    Thanks!
[05:07] ---
    Let's see... Now to save
    "Junior Detective League" to my phone...
[05:13] ---
    There we go! All done!
[05:17] ---
    Oh! This only shows numbers, huh?
    I used to have one, too!
[05:22] ---
    My friends and I often used
    numbers to write messages for fun!
[05:26] ---
    Messages?
[05:28] ---
    Even if it can only display numbers,
[05:29] ---
    you can use numbers that look
    and sound like letters to write things!
[05:35] ---
    For example, "428" could be read "Shibuya"!
[05:40] ---
    4, 2, 8... Shi-bu-ya...
[05:44] ---
    Shibuya! (a city in Tokyo) Neat!
[05:46] ---
    Say, since you're here, how about
    a tour of the News City studio?
[05:51] ---
    Yes!
[05:51] ---
    Hurray!
[05:54] ---
    Oh, just a minute.
[05:56] ---
    Hello, this is Asano.
[06:00] ---
    Yes. Yes. I will. Yes.
    Okay. I'll be right there.
[06:07] ---
    I'm sorry. I have work
    to do, so I can't go.
[06:13] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[06:17] ---
    Oh, Kobayashi-san!
[06:18] ---
    Yes? What can I do?
[06:20] ---
    I'm sorry to ask, but could
    you show them to Studio A?
[06:23] ---
    Some work just came up, so...
[06:25] ---
    Sure, it's no problem!
[06:27] ---
    Oh, and could you
    get them some passes?
[06:29] ---
    Sure.
[06:30] ---
    Well, shall we go?
[06:32] ---
    Hurray!
[06:35] ---
    I'm hungry...
[06:37] ---
    How long is she going to make us wait?
[06:39] ---
    Sorry to suddenly
    ask you to stand in like this!
[06:42] ---
    That's fine, but what's this
    about Aki-san being threatened?
[06:45] ---
    Threatened?!
[06:46] ---
    Who are these kids?!
    They're distracting! Get rid of them!
[06:50] ---
    U-Understood!
[06:52] ---
    Running off because of a threat?!
    Aki-san is a failure as a journalist!
[06:58] ---
    We're beginning rehearsal!
[07:03] ---
    Sorry, Kazumi-san hates children.
[07:07] ---
    Say, she said Aki-san was threatened.
[07:11] ---
    Yeah.
[07:11] ---
    We came to see Aki-*san
    *in Detective Mori's place!
[07:15] ---
    Oh, the famous detective?!
[07:17] ---
    I see. Well, just between us,
[07:21] ---
    Aki-san's been getting
    harassing letters and phone calls
[07:24] ---
    ever since she started a story
    about a certain politician's corruption.
[07:28] ---
    She got a letter this
    morning threatening to kill her
[07:31] ---
    if she appeared on today's News City.
[07:34] ---
    Was this threat what
    she really wanted to discuss?
[07:39] ---
    You can see the News City
    broadcast on that TV.
[07:42] ---
    Well, I have work to do, so I'll see you later.
[07:48] ---
    Hey, do you think the
    phone call Aki-san got earlier
[07:52] ---
    was a threatening phone call?!
[07:54] ---
    Yes, and then that scared her...
[07:58] ---
    No! Aki-san isn't a weakling like that!
[08:01] ---
    You agree with me, right, Conan-kun?!
[08:05] ---
    Yeah...
[08:06] ---
    When she was on the phone then,
    she didn't seem afraid at all.
[08:12] ---
    In fact, she sounded happy,
    as if she had gotten a special scoop.
[08:17] ---
    That call was probably not a threat.
[08:21] ---
    No, wait! If that call had been
    a trap to lure her somewhere--!
[08:31] ---
    Is it Ran-oneechan again?
[08:33] ---
    No.
[08:35] ---
    It's probably Aki-san. Only she
    and Ran-neechan know this number.
[08:40] ---
    Oh! Okay!
[08:45] ---
    Hello, this is Asano. I'm not home
    right now, so please leave your--
[08:52] ---
    Huh? Why'd you hang up?
[08:54] ---
    Was it not Aki-san?
[08:56] ---
    It was her home. But it
    was her answering machine.
[09:01] ---
    That's odd! Why would she have
    you call her home if she isn't there?
[09:10] ---
    110?
[09:12] ---
    The police phone number.
[09:14] ---
    The police?!
[09:16] ---
    Why would the police call us?!
[09:18] ---
    No! It's Aki-san!
[09:21] ---
    A bad guy must've caught her!
    So she wants us to call the police!
[09:26] ---
    Then couldn't she
    just call them herself?
[09:31] ---
    What if she's unable to talk?
[09:40] ---
    Oh no!
[09:41] ---
    It's an abduction...
[09:47] ---
    9109.
[09:49] ---
    That's the city code of her phone number!
[09:53] ---
    The police won't listen to us with only this.
[09:57] ---
    If the police can't help,
    then the Junior Detective League will!
[10:03] ---
    Yeah, but this isn't
    enough to know where she is.
[10:07] ---
    Oh...
[10:08] ---
    Yeah...
[10:10] ---
    And now for today's sports.
[10:12] ---
    The J-League game at the
    National Stadium between the Tokyo--
[10:18] ---
    I like Aki-san a lot better...
[10:23] ---
    2003.
[10:25] ---
    I got it! It's read "Niousama"!
    
[10:29] ---
    So she's where there
    are temple guardian statues!
[10:33] ---
    Come on. Can't you deduce
    a little better than that?
[10:38] ---
    Nichiuri TV
[11:11] ---
    The messages after
    7:20 make no sense at all.
[11:18] ---
    Lastly, we've just received this news.
[11:21] ---
    The Special Investig. Unit of
    the Tokyo Public Prosecutor's Office
[11:24] ---
    is to question the politicians
    Mr. Maruya and Mr. Okubo tomorrow
[11:27] ---
    about their possible
    acceptance of large bribes
[11:29] ---
    in relation to the corruption
    case involving Bay Development.
[11:34] ---
    I've figured out what
    Aki-san's messages mean!
[11:37] ---
    For reals, Mitsuhiko?!
[11:40] ---
    These are indicating the names
    of the politicians who took bribes!
[11:44] ---
    0 is "maru". Maruya's initial, basically!
[11:47] ---
    00 is "oo." Okubo's initial!
[11:50] ---
    And the 96 of 096 is "kuro"!
[11:53] ---
    So Aki-san is trying to say
    it's Maruya who's guilty of corruption!
[12:00] ---
    Then what do 2003 and 5656 mean?
[12:04] ---
    They're bank account numbers
    used for the bribes, of course!
[12:11] ---
    Alright! Aki-san must be
    captured at Maruya's home then!
[12:15] ---
    Let's hurry and save her!
[12:17] ---
    I heard he lives in West Teitan,
    one subway stop from here!
[12:24] ---
    Let's go, Conan-kun!
[12:25] ---
    Okay.
[12:31] ---
    Now there's thunder! Let's run, guys!
[12:42] ---
    Maruya
[12:44] ---
    Hey, Conan! Hurry up! Conan!
[12:49] ---
    Keep watch for anyone coming!
[12:52] ---
    Mitsuhiko! Hurry up here!
[12:54] ---
    Right!
[12:55] ---
    Hey, you! What are you doing?!
[13:01] ---
    Come down here!
[13:06] ---
    I'm sorry!
[13:09] ---
    Can't believe you
    guys ran off without me.
[13:12] ---
    Next time, we'll have to do something
    about the guard and the dogs.
[13:17] ---
    You saw them first!
[13:20] ---
    Stop it!
[13:23] ---
    Aki-san?!
[13:25] ---
    It's Ran-neechan.
[13:27] ---
    Oh...
[13:28] ---
    I'll go call her!
[13:34] ---
    Aww, it's raining again...
[13:37] ---
    Hello? Ran-neechan?
[13:39] ---
    Conan-kun!
[13:41] ---
    Where are you at this time of night?!
[13:43] ---
    I paged you and paged you,
    but you ignored me!
[13:46] ---
    S-Sorry! I'll be home soon!
[13:49] ---
    You better come home quick!
[13:56] ---
    Huh? There's thunder where you are?
[13:58] ---
    Yea, it's really rainy and thundery.
[14:01] ---
    It's nice weather here.
    The moon is really pretty!
[14:06] ---
    It's pouring here, so I don't
    think I'll be home for a while.
[14:10] ---
    Where are you right now, Conan-kun?
[14:12] ---
    Should I bring an
    umbrella and come get you?
[14:16] ---
    Moon?
[14:18] ---
    What? Hello? Conan-kun?
    Hey, are you listening to me?
[14:24] ---
    Now for tomorrow's weather.
[14:26] ---
    A cold front in the northern Kanto
    region will bring clouds and rain.
[14:30] ---
    Southern Kanto will have clear skies.
    Tomorrow's high temperature...
[14:41] ---
    We're going back to the TV station!
[14:44] ---
    Hurry, everyone!
[14:46] ---
    Wait up!
[14:47] ---
    You better explain, Conan!
[14:56] ---
    Here, try reading 2003 on its side.
[15:01] ---
    On its side?
[15:03] ---
    M-O-O-N.
[15:06] ---
    Oh, I get it! Awesome!
[15:09] ---
    So, what's that mean?
[15:11] ---
    It spells "moon" in English.
[15:14] ---
    Now, the reason Aki-*san
    *sent this "2003" message first
[15:20] ---
    was because she wanted
    us to look up at the night sky.
[15:23] ---
    The "2003" was displayed at 7:20 pm.
[15:27] ---
    As I recall, the moon
    was in the southeast then.
[15:31] ---
    But it wasn't visible
    from Maruya's mansion,
[15:34] ---
    because of buildings to the southeast.
[15:37] ---
    Which means Aki-*san
    *isn't at Maruya's home, right?!
[15:42] ---
    Right... she's being held somewhere
    where she can see the moon.
[15:47] ---
    But that isn't enough to
    tell us where she is.
[15:50] ---
    Exactly.
[15:51] ---
    So she used numbers like weather symbols
[15:54] ---
    to indicate weather
    changes where she is!
[15:58] ---
    0 is the circle meaning fair weather.
[16:01] ---
    00 is the double-circle
    meaning cloudy weather.
[16:04] ---
    096 is a filled circle, meaning rain!
[16:10] ---
    What about the 5656 at 8:31?
[16:14] ---
    Say the sound effect for thunder out loud.
[16:17] ---
    "Goro (56) goro (56)"...
[16:19] ---
    I get it! 5656 was referring to thunder!
[16:25] ---
    Yep!
[16:26] ---
    So she's being held where there
    was rain and thunder around 8:30!
[16:41] ---
    Places with thunderstorms at 8:30 pm?
[16:45] ---
    Oh, the only one was the area around this TV station
[16:46] ---
    Nichiuri TV Meteorology Center
[16:50] ---
    within a 1-kilometer radius!
[16:53] ---
    It was a passing shower!
[16:54] ---
    Thanks!
[16:57] ---
    It's just as you thought!
    Aki-san is somewhere in this area!
[17:01] ---
    Yeah.
[17:06] ---
    0109... What is it?
[17:09] ---
    Wouldn't 01 be the symbol
    for "clear weather"?!
[17:12] ---
    No, it's still cloudy here.
    It must mean something different.
[17:16] ---
    I bet 0109 means, "I want
    to eat a huge eel box lunch!"
[17:22] ---
    After all, she's probably hungry!
[17:24] ---
    I think you mean you.
[17:29] ---
    I'm hungry...
[17:36] ---
    What's your problem?!
    It's not that funny!
[17:39] ---
    Sorry, sorry! That's not it!
    Nice work, Genta!
[17:44] ---
    Thanks to you, I know where Aki-san is!
[18:07] ---
    The large prop room?
[18:09] ---
    Yeah! That's where
    we got separated from her!
[18:12] ---
    As I recall, it's the northernmost
    room on the first floor...
[18:15] ---
    Thanks!
[18:16] ---
    H-Hey!
[18:17] ---
    Aki-san's in the large prop room!
[18:21] ---
    Like Genta said, you read the 0,
    10, and 9 of that 0109 separately!
[18:26] ---
    0, 10, 9? O... to... ku?
    Odogu! (large prop)
[18:31] ---
    There are lots of rooms in
    TV stations that people rarely enter!
[18:35] ---
    If the kidnapper works here,
    they could use one!
[18:38] ---
    Does that mean you know who it is?!
[18:42] ---
    Yeah, because Aki-san told us who!
[18:55] ---
    End of the line!
[19:00] ---
    It's no use running.
[19:02] ---
    We know everything.
[19:04] ---
    Give yourself up.
[19:06] ---
    You called Aki-san here,
    knocked her out with drugs or something,
[19:11] ---
    and locked her in that back room
[19:13] ---
    to make others think she had run away,
    out of fear of that threat.
[19:18] ---
    Yes, you tried to ruin her credibility
    and have her kicked off News City!
[19:25] ---
    Aki-san used her cell phone to
    send us messages about her location
[19:29] ---
    by referencing weather changes
    she could see outside the window!
[19:33] ---
    Except, there was one message
    she sent that I didn't understand.
[19:39] ---
    9109.
[19:43] ---
    This number came in after
    a message to call the police.
[19:49] ---
    But, if it didn't indicate her location...
[19:54] ---
    ...it indicated her kidnapper's name!
[19:58] ---
    Oh, no, you don't!
[20:01] ---
    Take this!
[20:08] ---
    We're the Junior Detective League!
    There's no getting away from us!
[20:12] ---
    That's right!
[20:14] ---
    Aki-san! Hang on! Aki-san!
[20:21] ---
    9109 is separated as 9-10-9.
    Changed to kanji and read aloud...
[20:29] ---
    ... "tsu ku mo."
[20:31] ---
    That would be you,
    Tsukumo Kazumi-san!
[20:37] ---
    Get off me!
[20:43] ---
    I just couldn't stand it...
[20:47] ---
    News City was my idea!
    It was my show from the start!
[20:53] ---
    But then they replaced me with
    someone younger, someone cuter!
[21:00] ---
    This is serious business! This is...
[21:06] ---
    Then earn the spot back with actual skill.
[21:11] ---
    However you rationalize it,
    a crime can't be justified.
[22:55] ---
    That concludes this
    afternoon's weather forecast!
[22:58] ---
    And cut!
[22:59] ---
    Good work!
[23:01] ---
    Sorry for the wait!
[23:05] ---
    Thank you all so much for yesterday!
[23:09] ---
    But only the Junior Detective
    League could've realized
[23:12] ---
    that my messages were weather codes!
[23:16] ---
    But how did you know it was Kazumi-san?
[23:20] ---
    When she tried to put me to sleep,
    I caught a glimpse of her nails.
[23:25] ---
    Oh! The nail art!
[23:27] ---
    Yep! The design reminded me of
    a weather map, so I remembered it.
[23:34] ---
    That means you're
    snow pellets, Genta-kun!
[23:36] ---
    Snow pellets?
[23:37] ---
