[00:00] ---
    My name's Conan Edogawa!
[00:02] ---
    High school student Shinichi was forced
    to take a drug that shrunk him.
[00:05] ---
    Although smaller, my mind remains
    that of a sharp detective!
[00:08] ---
    Today's case is a code! A deep
    meaning behind regular numbers!
[00:11] ---
    I'll have to change
    my way of looking at things!
[00:13] ---
    There's always only one truth!
[00:15] ---
    The first end of the century in 100 years
[00:21] ---
    When told to cry, I laughed instead
[00:34] ---
    The first end of the century
    in a long, long time

[00:40] ---
    We're leaping into a wide open world
[00:46] ---
    The things I tried to
    understand as a child

[00:52] ---
    remain a mystery even as an adult
[00:58] ---
    I'm neither a hotshot
    nor especially great

[01:04] ---
    All I understand is
    the pounding of my heart

[01:11] ---
    It's neither an answer nor the truth
[01:17] ---
    All I have faith in is
    the pounding of my heart

[01:23] ---
    That and nothing else
[01:46] ---
    The Mysterious Sniper Message Case.
[02:04] ---
    There's some! Now!
[02:07] ---
    Got 'em!
[02:08] ---
    They got away again...
[02:13] ---
    We sure caught a lot!
[02:15] ---
    Yeah...
[02:16] ---
    Genta-kun was right--
    this is a good spot for fishing!
[02:20] ---
    I'm hungry. What time is it?
[02:23] ---
    It's exactly 1:00.
    What do you say we have lunch?
[02:26] ---
    Hey, what's that?
[02:37] ---
    Looks like a remote-controlled boat.
[02:39] ---
    Where's it being controlled from?
[02:54] ---
    A rifle!
[02:58] ---
    Up there! There are people
    on the building across the river!
[03:09] ---
    Come on, Conan! Let me see!
[03:13] ---
    There's nobody up there...
[03:18] ---
    Did this guy really
    shoot it with a rifle?!
[03:31] ---
    Dang! He shot the balloon
    from way up here?!
[03:34] ---
    He's really good if he did!
[03:41] ---
    Maybe he was doing target practice?
[03:44] ---
    That, or he was being tested...
[03:46] ---
    Tested?
[03:47] ---
    Against his own will.
[03:49] ---
    Against his own will?!
[03:50] ---
    Two other guys were
    pointing handguns at him!
[03:54] ---
    You serious?!
[04:01] ---
    What are you doing?
[04:02] ---
    Looking for any sort of evidence...
[04:20] ---
    What's with those numbers?
[04:23] ---
    I'm guessing it's a message
    the rifle shooter left for me.
[04:28] ---
    Message?
[04:30] ---
    Yes. He seemed to notice me
    when I saw him through the binoculars.
[04:37] ---
    But what in the world
    could these numbers mean?
[04:45] ---
    At any rate, we need to tell
    Inspector Megure about this!
[05:01] ---
    Are you certain that
    he hit it from here?
[05:04] ---
    Yeah. I didn't see him shoot,
    but I saw him holding the rifle.
[05:09] ---
    And then you found
    that calculator left behind?
[05:11] ---
    Say, Inspector.
[05:13] ---
    Do you think that maybe he
    was kidnapped and then brought here?
[05:18] ---
    It did look like he was forced
    to shoot against his own will...
[05:22] ---
    We haven't received any such reports...
[05:26] ---
    And I don't see any signs
    of them being here, either...
[05:28] ---
    What? Then look harder!
    Like across the river, or in it!
[05:34] ---
    The bullet has to be there somewhere!
[05:35] ---
    Yeah! That radio-controlled
    boat might be--
[05:39] ---
    Unfortunately, this is Golden Week.
[05:42] ---
    Most of our investigators
    are out on holiday leave!
[05:45] ---
    But I'll tell you what. I'll at least
    check out that calculator. How's that?
[05:54] ---
    Well, I'll see you later.
    Give Mori-kun my regards!
[06:00] ---
    He doesn't believe us one bit!
[06:15] ---
    "Romantic dream trip aboard
    the Heisei Expressway"?!
[06:18] ---
    All they did was steal an old photo!
[06:23] ---
    It's hopeless! I can't figure this out!
[06:25] ---
    Of course you can't.
    There is no message.
[06:28] ---
    Someone just forgot
    their calculator, that's all.
[06:31] ---
    I can't believe you called
    Inspector Megure out there
[06:34] ---
    during Golden Week!
[06:36] ---
    Dad!
[06:37] ---
    Say, if that person really was
    forced to do target practice
[06:41] ---
    and then left you a message,
[06:44] ---
    all I can think of is...
[06:46] ---
    The time or place where
    the real shooting will take place,
[06:48] ---
    or the victim's name...
[06:50] ---
    Or a hint about where he's being held.
[06:54] ---
    People play code games on their
    pagers all the time! Number games!
[06:58] ---
    So since 3135134 can also be read
    as a couple of Japanese names,
[07:03] ---
    that means the victims are
    going to be 31-san and 51-san?
[07:09] ---
    Sure, whatever.
[07:10] ---
    Say, 162 might be an apartment
    or hotel room number!
[07:15] ---
    Or maybe a road?
[07:18] ---
    Like Route 162, you know?!
[07:25] ---
    So then what's the 3135134 stand for?
[07:30] ---
    Maybe it was to camouflage the 162
[07:35] ---
    in case the bad guys
    found the calculator.
[07:37] ---
    I see. Come to think of it,
    the river was shaped like a road...
[07:42] ---
    And the flow of the river
    resembles a flow of cars.
[07:50] ---
    Route 162...
[07:53] ---
    Kyoto!
[07:54] ---
    Too far. It would at least
    have to be in the Tokyo region.
[07:58] ---
    It would have to be a
    primary municipal highway.
[08:00] ---
    Here it is! Saitama Prefectural Route 162!
[08:04] ---
    You found it, Conan-kun!
[08:07] ---
    Here it is, Dad!
    You can take us tomorrow!
[08:09] ---
    Take you? What now?!
[08:18] ---
    Why did I have to rent a car
    and drive you around again?!
[08:23] ---
    Because we don't have licenses!
[08:25] ---
    Hey, he's a detective, right?
    So why doesn't he have a car of his own?
[08:30] ---
    He can't afford one!
[08:31] ---
    It sounds like he doesn't
    usually drive much.
[08:34] ---
    We'd better put our seat belts on!
[08:36] ---
    Yeah!
[08:37] ---
    Hey, you! I'll have you know--
[08:39] ---
    Keep your eyes on the road!
[08:48] ---
    The curves are shaped differently.
[08:50] ---
    This isn't the place!
[08:54] ---
    This isn't it!
[08:56] ---
    This isn't it either!
[08:58] ---
    Doesn't look like this is it either...
[09:01] ---
    This isn't it.
[09:03] ---
    Why don't you give up already?
[09:05] ---
    You're crazy if you think the shape
    of the river will match a street.
[09:09] ---
    What? You were the one who said
    the river flowed like a flow of cars!
[09:15] ---
    Did I now?
[09:23] ---
    No more curves to check, I take it?
[09:26] ---
    I'll just turn around up here and--
[09:30] ---
    Under construction...
[09:40] ---
    Stop the car!
[09:46] ---
    Conan-kun?
[09:57] ---
    Aha!
[09:59] ---
    This building's on Route 162 too!
[10:18] ---
    This is the place!
[10:18] ---
    You're right!
[10:20] ---
    It's definitely it!
[10:21] ---
    Way to go, Conan!
[10:22] ---
    What? You found it?!
[10:24] ---
    Conan-kun wants you
    to tell Inspector Megure.
[10:28] ---
    Why me?
[10:29] ---
    Because you have a good track record,
    plus he trusts you!
[10:35] ---
    A good track record? You sure know
    about hard-to-understand things!
[10:40] ---
    Oh well, guess I'll give him a ring!
[10:44] ---
    Megure here.
[10:46] ---
    Oh, Mori-kun! Perfect timing!
[10:48] ---
    Come to the police headquarters
    right away!
[10:50] ---
    And bring Conan-kun with you!
[10:55] ---
    There is only one reason why
    I've asked you to come here.
[10:58] ---
    We've learned that one of our officers
    on vacation and his girlfriend
[11:02] ---
    have gone missing.
[11:04] ---
    This man.
[11:09] ---
    This is the guy, Inspector!
[11:11] ---
    I thought so.
[11:12] ---
    The fingerprints on the calculator
    matched his own when we checked.
[11:17] ---
    His name is Koichi Yamabe.
[11:19] ---
    He used to be an Olympic marksman.
[11:22] ---
    A marksman?!
[11:24] ---
    The kidnappers probably took
    Yamabe and his girlfriend, Eri-san,
[11:29] ---
    and are threatening to kill her
    if he doesn't shoot someone for them.
[11:36] ---
    So what Conan-kun and the others
    saw was target practice for that?
[11:39] ---
    Looks like your deductions hit the mark!
[11:43] ---
    But our hands are still tied since we
    don't know the most important facts:
[11:46] ---
    when and where it will happen...
[11:48] ---
    We know where!
[11:52] ---
    Come again?!
[11:58] ---
    Yes, it's very similar, indeed.
[12:00] ---
    It looks like this is the place.
    Excellent work!
[12:03] ---
    Um, don't forget that I was
    the one who drove them here!
[12:07] ---
    But we still don't know
    when the attack will be...
[12:10] ---
    Yes, that's too bad...
[12:14] ---
    It was around 1 pm
    when the balloon burst, right?
[12:17] ---
    Is that so? Then 1:00 must
    be the time of the attack!
[12:20] ---
    But on what day?
[12:21] ---
    They're keeping two people captive!
    They don't have time to waste!
[12:26] ---
    The sniper attack will
    probably be tomorrow!
[12:27] ---
    Good thinking, Mori-kun!
[12:29] ---
    Let's make preparations at once!
[12:31] ---
    What's the matter, Conan-kun?
[12:33] ---
    Oh, nothing...
[12:42] ---
    Does this 162 really refer to Route 162?
[12:48] ---
    If it were me, I would make sure to put
    the place and time in the message...
[12:52] ---
    Which means...
[12:53] ---
    No...
[12:54] ---
    No matter how I look at it,
    the 3135134 still makes no sense!
[13:07] ---
    Alright now. Don't make a move
    until I give the order.
[13:12] ---
    Roger that!
[13:13] ---
    Understood!
[13:14] ---
    We have police snipers and a
    helicopter on standby at the river.
[13:18] ---
    All preparations are complete.
[13:20] ---
    If the sniper's going to strike at 1:00,
[13:22] ---
    then the criminals should
    appear by 12:00 at the latest.
[13:26] ---
    One hour left...
[13:27] ---
    But would you mind explaining why--
[13:32] ---
    They insisted on coming along!
[13:35] ---
    You guys aren't to leave this van!
[13:39] ---
    Well?!
[13:40] ---
    We know!
[13:40] ---
    We know!
[13:43] ---
    My ears...
[13:52] ---
    Thirty minutes left...
[14:13] ---
    Something's not right!
    Why aren't they showing up?!
[14:18] ---
    Maybe Conan-kun is wrong?
[14:21] ---
    What?!
[14:22] ---
    Of course he isn't!
[14:23] ---
    No, that has to be it!
[14:25] ---
    It was a mistake to
    listen to some stupid kid!
[14:29] ---
    Dad!
[14:34] ---
    Let's see...
[14:35] ---
    It was 3135134162, right?
[14:40] ---
    3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 4...
[14:47] ---
    Mitsuhiko! Let me see that!
[14:49] ---
    Okay...
[14:54] ---
    That's it! Now I see!
[14:59] ---
    You have it upside-down, Conan-kun...
[15:02] ---
    Oh, wow!
[15:04] ---
    You can read the numbers even
    when you flip the calculator over! Cool!
[15:07] ---
    What nonsense is this now?
[15:09] ---
    See! 162 becomes 291!
[15:11] ---
    And the rest looks like English letters!
[15:14] ---
    Let me see that.
[15:16] ---
    291, Heisei E...
[15:20] ---
    They are readable...
[15:26] ---
    Heisei E? Wait, I could swear
    I've seen that somewhere before...
[15:30] ---
    It was in the magazine
    you were looking at yesterday!
[15:37] ---
    The Heisei Express!
[15:39] ---
    Wait, then that means this message
    was meant to be read upside-down!
[15:43] ---
    Meaning that the 162 actually
    means the 29th at 1:00!
[15:47] ---
    What?!
[15:49] ---
    Yamabe-san must have realized
    this upside-down trick
[15:52] ---
    where he was being held
[15:53] ---
    and tried to leave us this message
    when he got the chance!
[15:58] ---
    Inspector! Hurry! The helicopter!
[16:01] ---
    Oh, right!
[16:08] ---
    Heisei Express will be departing
    from Platform 2 shortly.
[16:25] ---
    Thank you!
[16:27] ---
    Excuse me!
[16:29] ---
    Yes?
[16:32] ---
    Sit down before the train starts, Daddy!
[16:35] ---
    Ok, I will...
[16:37] ---
    It's going just as we planned.
[16:39] ---
    He's sitting in the
    very front of the first car!
[17:13] ---
    It's time.
[17:22] ---
    Huh? Where's Conan-kun?!
[17:24] ---
    Eh?! Don't tell me he's--
[17:27] ---
    What? When did you get in here?!
[17:29] ---
    It doesn't matter! We won't
    make it in time if we don't hurry!
[17:33] ---
    Fine, whatever. Put this on!
[17:36] ---
    Too big!
[17:43] ---
    There's the Kanetsu Line!
[17:45] ---
    Okay! Follow the tracks north!
[18:24] ---
    Three minutes left...
[18:25] ---
    We still haven't found a curve
    that looks like the river!
[18:33] ---
    Here it comes.
[18:40] ---
    Try any funny business
    and the girl's dead.
[19:00] ---
    One minute left!
[19:01] ---
    Inspector! There!
[19:15] ---
    There they are! Get us lower!
[19:25] ---
    What the...?
[19:27] ---
    Who cares! Just shoot it down!
[19:32] ---
    Bastard!
[19:36] ---
    Stop or she's dead!
[19:43] ---
    Don't shoot! You might hit Yamabe!
[19:45] ---
    Yes, sir!
[19:52] ---
    There's no wind! The helicopter's speed
    is 5 meters per second!
[19:55] ---
    Medium setting should do the trick!
[20:00] ---
    Distance: 30 meters!
[20:04] ---
    Go!
[20:14] ---
    Got 'im!
[20:14] ---
    What're you doing?!
    That's dangerous!
[20:17] ---
    Damn it!
[20:24] ---
    Damn you!
[20:29] ---
    It's all over! Give yourself up!
[20:39] ---
    Koichi-san!
[20:41] ---
    Eri!
[20:46] ---
    What a stroke of luck that
    this helmet just happened to hit him!
[20:52] ---
    Here you are. Don't drop it
    on the way back, now!
[20:54] ---
    I won't!
[20:56] ---
    Man, was that close...
[21:07] ---
    You're okay! That's great!
[21:10] ---
    Hey, Conan! That wasn't fair,
    you get all the fun!
[21:12] ---
    It isn't nice to hog all the glory!
[21:14] ---
    Conan-kun!
[21:16] ---
    Sorry!
[21:20] ---
    Huh?
[21:22] ---
    Conan! No more sneaking off
    without permission!
[21:29] ---
    He got you that time!
[21:29] ---
    He got you that time!
[21:31] ---
    Why you little...
[21:53] ---
    Just my imagination
[21:56] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea

[22:07] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm

[22:14] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[22:21] ---
    That's right...
[22:26] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes

[22:37] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious

[22:44] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh

[22:51] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me

[23:00] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[23:10] ---
    The men we arrested were former
    members of the Oni Tora crime ring.
[23:16] ---
    Last year, the leader and various
    high-ranking officials in the ring
[23:19] ---
    were all put behind bars
    by a skilled public prosecutor.
[23:23] ---
    The remaining members
    were forced to disband.
[23:25] ---
    So it was that prosecutor
    they were after?
[23:27] ---
    He was on his way home
    from a trip with his family.
[23:30] ---
    Revenge was their motive.
[23:32] ---
    But you did a spectacular job, Mori-kun!
[23:37] ---
    I don't think I did...
[23:39] ---
    ...that bad, myself!
[23:42] ---
    They're acting like
    he solved it all by himself.
[23:44] ---
    But I'm sure he'll take us
    on vacation somewhere now!
[23:48] ---
    Where would you want to go, Conan-kun?
[23:50] ---
    That's easy! An amusement park!
[23:55] ---
    Boy, it sure is hard to
    constantly act like a kid!
[24:04] ---
    It's a dead body!
[24:09] ---
    It's gone! The corpse is gone!
[24:11] ---
    It's disappeared!
[24:13] ---
    That's impossible!
[24:14] ---
    Let's go, everyone.
[24:16] ---
    Wait, Inspector! We really saw--
[24:20] ---
    I was a fool to believe you!
[24:23] ---
    No, the body is here!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    The Missing Corpse Murder.
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Answering Machine Phone.
[24:52] ---
    Don't let next episode's trick blow you away.
[24:57] ---
