[00:01] ---
    My name's Conan Edogawa!
[00:02] ---
    High school student Shinichi was
    shrunken by a mysterious organization!
[00:05] ---
    If they found out that Shinichi
    and Conan are the same person,
[00:07] ---
    everyone close to me would be in danger!
[00:09] ---
    I can't even tell Ran,
    my childhood friend,
[00:11] ---
    or her detective father, Kogoro!
[00:13] ---
    There's only one truth again today!
[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
[01:47] ---
    The Antique Collector Murder.
[01:53] ---
    There's no doubt about it.
[01:56] ---
    Your wife is cheating on you.
[01:58] ---
    I knew it!
[01:59] ---
    Have a look at the mole under her eye.
[02:01] ---
    This woman is none other
    than your wife, Maru Ineko-san!
[02:12] ---
    It jumped again!
[02:13] ---
    How long is Kogoro
    going to make us wait?
[02:17] ---
    He said he was going to
    take us out to eat for once,
[02:20] ---
    but then he had to
    stop by this place first...
[02:22] ---
    What detective in their right mind
    would bring a kid along
[02:25] ---
    when informing someone
    about their spouse's affair?
[02:28] ---
    A visitor?
[02:29] ---
    Who in blazes is this man?!
[02:32] ---
    I don't know that yet...
[02:35] ---
    A visitor?
[02:37] ---
    Hey! Get the door! Is anyone there?!
[02:40] ---
    Oh, that's right...
[02:42] ---
    I asked the housekeepers to waste time
    outside since you were coming.
[02:48] ---
    Excuse me while I see
    my visitor to the cottage.
[02:51] ---
    I will return soon!
[02:52] ---
    Certainly.
[03:02] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
    Let's go to the cottage.
[03:20] ---
    That's annoying!
    What's that old man doing, anyway?!
[03:23] ---
    He probably can't hear it
    because he's in the cottage!
[03:31] ---
    What the hell?!
[03:41] ---
    What is it?
[03:42] ---
    Did you hear anything strange just now?
[03:44] ---
    No, not really...
[03:52] ---
    Hey, isn't he taking kind of long?
[03:55] ---
    Yeah, he sure is...
[03:56] ---
    What could he be doing?
[04:01] ---
    Huh? They hung up?
[04:03] ---
    They hung up after one ring...
[04:06] ---
    Where in the world is he?!
    It's been two hours now!
[04:13] ---
    Another single ring!
    What's going on?
[04:16] ---
    I've had enough!
    I'm going to the cottage!
[04:24] ---
    Man, am I hungry...
[04:27] ---
    What the...?
[04:31] ---
    What is it?!
[04:32] ---
    Who are you people?!
[04:35] ---
    No, who are you?!
[04:37] ---
    We're the housekeepers here!
[04:39] ---
    What is all this ruckus?
[04:42] ---
    Madam!
[04:43] ---
    Just what is happening here?
[04:45] ---
    I found this man snooping around
    inside the house!
[04:49] ---
    A thief?!
[04:51] ---
    No! I'm a detective--
    I was hired by this house's owner!
[04:55] ---
    A detective?!
[04:57] ---
    What business does
    a detective have here?!
[04:59] ---
    You should ask your husband directly...
[05:02] ---
    Where is my husband?
[05:03] ---
    He went over to the cottage
    and hasn't come back...
[05:07] ---
    Go bring my husband here.
[05:09] ---
    Yes, Madam!
[05:13] ---
    So how much did you find out?
[05:16] ---
    I'll pay you twice as much as he is!
    Just keep my affair a secret!
[05:20] ---
    Um, Miss!
[05:29] ---
    What is it?!
[05:45] ---
    My husband!
[05:46] ---
    Ran! Call the police!
[05:49] ---
    Right!
[05:53] ---
    The victim is Maru Denjiro,
    51 years old.
[05:56] ---
    This house's owner...
[05:59] ---
    Your husband practiced
    Iai swordsmanship, is that right?
[06:01] ---
    Yes. He was a 3rd-degree master.
[06:04] ---
    He must have been
    rather skilled, then...
[06:07] ---
    Was this really his sword?
[06:11] ---
    Yes. He kept it as
    a decoration in the alcove.
[06:13] ---
    From the condition of this room,
[06:15] ---
    it appears he and the murderer
    had quite the swordfight.
[06:18] ---
    Which means that the killer must
    have been an expert swordsman as well.
[06:23] ---
    Is this the victim's organizer?
[06:28] ---
    It's filled with appointments...
[06:30] ---
    Conan-kun. You're certain
    you saw the visitor, right?
[06:33] ---
    Yes. But just his legs.
[06:35] ---
    Let's see here. Today, he was to meet...
[06:39] ---
    Mori Kogoro, Suwa Yuji,
    Hatano Ikuya, and Akutsu Makoto...
[06:44] ---
    These four people.
[06:46] ---
    Inspector! We found a suspicious man!
[06:48] ---
    What?!
[06:50] ---
    This man was prowling about
    in front of the house!
[06:52] ---
    I'm not suspicious!
[06:54] ---
    Oh! Dr. Hatano!
[06:56] ---
    Hatano? This Hatano Ikuya-san?
[07:00] ---
    Yes! He's my husband's doctor!
[07:02] ---
    He gives him health checkups every week.
[07:04] ---
    His doctor, eh...
[07:05] ---
    Let go! Let go, I say!
[07:09] ---
    Do you have any idea who I am?!
[07:12] ---
    I'm Akutsu-sensei, the great engraver!
[07:15] ---
    Akutsu? Akutsu Makoto?
[07:18] ---
    So 3 of the 4 people
    from his organizer are here.
[07:22] ---
    I've got it!
[07:23] ---
    The killer would be the person
    who had already been here!
[07:27] ---
    And that person would be the last
    one to show up: Suwa Yuji-san!
[07:29] ---
    What's this about me, now?
[07:32] ---
    I am Suwa. What exactly is
    all the commotion here about?
[07:37] ---
    What's with this boy?
[07:38] ---
    You're getting in the way again?!
[07:40] ---
    You're a swordsman, aren't you, mister?
[07:46] ---
    How did you know that, my boy?
[07:48] ---
    Your left hand.
[07:50] ---
    My left hand?
[07:51] ---
    See that small scar between
    your thumb and index finger?
[07:55] ---
    People who practice swordsmanship
    often cut themselves there
[07:59] ---
    when sheathing their swords!
[08:02] ---
    So that's why I figured
    you were into swords.
[08:05] ---
    Is he right?
[08:06] ---
    Yes, though I acquired this scar
    when I was still inexperienced...
[08:09] ---
    So you really are the culprit, then!
[08:11] ---
    Culprit?! What are you talking about?
[08:16] ---
    H-How did this happen?!
[08:19] ---
    Are you implying that I did this?!
[08:22] ---
    It's obvious when you look at this place!
[08:24] ---
    The killer was clearly
    a skilled swordsman!
[08:26] ---
    In other words, you!
[08:28] ---
    You've got it all wrong!
[08:30] ---
    I'm only here to pay back Maru-san
    the 5 million yen he lent me!
[08:34] ---
    You're here to pay off a debt?
[08:35] ---
    Here is the money, as you can see.
[08:39] ---
    The murder took place
    between 3 and 5 o'clock.
[08:42] ---
    Where were you during that time?
[08:44] ---
    I believe I was
    meditating alone at my dojo...
[08:47] ---
    Is there anyone who can verify this?
[08:50] ---
    N-No.
[08:52] ---
    Suspicious...
[08:54] ---
    Hey, that's not right!
[08:56] ---
    Not right?
[08:57] ---
    The way he's holding his sword...
    it's backwards!
[09:02] ---
    She's right! Look at that picture!
[09:04] ---
    The corpse's hands are
    holding it the wrong way!
[09:06] ---
    So does that mean someone put
    the sword in his hands afterwards?!
[09:11] ---
    Plus, regardless of how much
    they may have fought,
[09:14] ---
    it's still unnatural for the walls
    and ceiling to be cut this badly!
[09:18] ---
    Ah! So the killer tried
    to frame Suwa-san
[09:22] ---
    by cutting up everything
    in the room with a sword?
[09:26] ---
    But the killer made a mistake
[09:27] ---
    by messing up the
    corpse's grip on the sword!
[09:30] ---
    Akutsu-san! What about you?
[09:31] ---
    I borrowed money from Maru-san too...
    10 million yen...
[09:36] ---
    Did you come to pay him back?
[09:38] ---
    No, I needed more time,
    so I came to ask for an extension...
[09:42] ---
    Where were you between 3:00 and 5:00?
[09:44] ---
    I was by myself at my studio.
[09:46] ---
    So you don't have an alibi, do you?
[09:49] ---
    What did you come here for?
[09:51] ---
    Who, me?
[09:53] ---
    Of course. The victim planned
    to see you today, too.
[09:58] ---
    You can't be serious!
[09:59] ---
    I simply came to report about
    something he hired me to look in to.
[10:03] ---
    To see if his wife was
    cheating on him or not.
[10:06] ---
    She was cheating on her husband?!
[10:09] ---
    Jeez! Detectives aren't supposed
    to tell people about their cases!
[10:14] ---
    Where were you when
    the murder took place?
[10:16] ---
    Let me think...
[10:18] ---
    Huh? This man smells different...
[10:18] ---
    I saw a movie in Ginza at 3:00...
[10:22] ---
    It's a woman's perfume...
[10:22] ---
    I often see movies there...
[10:24] ---
    Wait, I just smelled
    this somewhere before...
[10:31] ---
    Stop that, Conan-kun!
[10:33] ---
    It's rude to sniff at people like that!
[10:36] ---
    I wasn't doing anything!
[10:41] ---
    It's her smell!
[10:42] ---
    Does that mean...
[10:46] ---
    You smell just like the doctor does!
[10:52] ---
    He's right. It's the same perfume.
[10:54] ---
    Do you wear women's perfume?
[10:58] ---
    No...
[10:59] ---
    I know! Don't tell me you're the one
    she's been seeing on the side?!
[11:04] ---
    It's true!
[11:05] ---
    I'll confess now that
    there's no point in hiding it,
[11:08] ---
    but I've been secretly seeing Dr. Hatano!
[11:11] ---
    What?!
[11:11] ---
    What?!
[11:12] ---
    But we're innocent!
[11:14] ---
    We were both at the Beika Hotel
    from afternoon until evening!
[11:19] ---
    Are you sure the two of you didn't
    arrange to say the same story?!
[11:21] ---
    What?!
[11:23] ---
    Whatever the case,
    excluding old man Kogoro,
[11:25] ---
    none of the three visitors have alibis!
[11:29] ---
    Who did it?!
[11:40] ---
    Hey! Not you again!
[11:42] ---
    This is Hatano. Are you there, Maru-san?
[11:45] ---
    Oh, well. Anyway, I'll be there
    at 5:00, as we agreed.
[11:50] ---
    Call taken at 4:38.
[11:54] ---
    This is Suwa.
[11:55] ---
    I was planning to be there at 6:00,
    but I think I may arrive early.
[12:00] ---
    I've made arrangements for
    next month's level examinations.
[12:04] ---
    I'll give you the details
    at a later time.
[12:07] ---
    Call taken at 4:41.
[12:11] ---
    I see. Dr. Hatano was scheduled for 5:00.
[12:14] ---
    Suwa-san was set for 6:00 but called
    ahead and arrived at 5:00, correct?
[12:18] ---
    Yes.
[12:19] ---
    I left a message on
    the answering machine too!
[12:22] ---
    Are you sure?
[12:23] ---
    I'm not lying!
[12:24] ---
    I said I was going to be a little late
    but that I would pay him back!
[12:27] ---
    I also told him that I would
    kill him if he sold it!
[12:31] ---
    You would kill him?!
[12:33] ---
    Well, yeah, he threatened me.
[12:35] ---
    He said he would sell the carving
    I lent him if I didn't pay him back!
[12:39] ---
    What kind of carving?
[12:42] ---
    That dragon.
[12:44] ---
    There's something strange
    about that carving!
[12:48] ---
    That's great! You weren't
    damaged one bit!
[12:51] ---
    Good for you, mister! You're so lucky!
[12:54] ---
    It's a miracle that your carving was
    the only thing unharmed in this room!
[12:58] ---
    Aha, I've got it figured out now...
[13:02] ---
    Akutsu-san. You are the killer!
[13:04] ---
    What?!
[13:06] ---
    You killed Maru-san and tried
    to put the blame on Suwa-san.
[13:10] ---
    But you made a couple mistakes.
[13:13] ---
    First, you made the corpse
    hold the sword the wrong way.
[13:17] ---
    Second, you couldn't
    damage the dragon carving.
[13:20] ---
    It looks like you
    didn't mind killing someone,
[13:22] ---
    but couldn't bear to bring harm
    to your precious carving!
[13:26] ---
    This is just a coincidence!
[13:28] ---
    Then why did you lie about leaving
    a message on his answering machine?!
[13:31] ---
    I didn't lie! I really
    did leave a message!
[13:34] ---
    Come to think of it,
    the phone rang three times!
[13:37] ---
    The 2nd and 3rd times,
    it stopped ringing right away,
[13:39] ---
    but the first time...
[13:40] ---
    ...it kept ringing over and over!
[13:44] ---
    Say, mister! Did anything
    seem strange when you called?
[13:48] ---
    Like maybe nobody would pick up,
    or something?
[13:50] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    I left it ringing for a long time.
[13:53] ---
    Just when I thought I finally got through,
    I got his answering machine.
[13:56] ---
    Our answering machine is set
    to take messages after 10 rings.
[14:02] ---
    See? What did I tell you?
[14:04] ---
    What time did you call?
[14:07] ---
    It was shortly before our appointment,
    so it was before 4:00.
[14:12] ---
    You probably heard the phone ringing
    when you were killing Maru-san!
[14:16] ---
    So that's why you're
    giving us this nonsense!
[14:19] ---
    No! I really did leave a message!
[14:21] ---
    How odd!
[14:22] ---
    If he was the murderer,
[14:24] ---
    then why would he concoct a lie that
    people would see through right away?
[14:26] ---
    But there's no message from him
    on the answering machine...
[14:31] ---
    Wait a second!
[14:32] ---
    Now that I think about it, there is
    someone who left a strange message!
[14:36] ---
    One that nobody would normally leave...
[14:38] ---
    If so, then the killer is...
[14:41] ---
    Miss. Is there anything of value in here?
[14:44] ---
    Yes, there's a safe key
    in one of the drawers!
[14:49] ---
    It's gone! The safe key is gone!
[14:53] ---
    What?!
[14:54] ---
    So it was you!
[14:56] ---
    Huh?
[14:58] ---
    Here it is. In a different drawer.
[15:00] ---
    Miss...
[15:03] ---
    But that's strange! My husband
    always kept it in this one!
[15:10] ---
    These drawers!
[15:13] ---
    None of the large
    sword cuts are connected!
[15:16] ---
    Say, is there an instant camera
    in the house anywhere?
[15:19] ---
    Yes...
[15:21] ---
    That inspector says
    he'd like to borrow it.
[15:24] ---
    Okay, I'll go get it!
[15:36] ---
    What part of "get out of here"
    don't you understand?!
[15:40] ---
    Darn it!
[15:41] ---
    Oh well. At least I got my picture.
[15:46] ---
    Here it is!
[15:48] ---
    All I do now is...
[15:53] ---
    ...cut out the drawers with
    sword cuts that don't connect...
[16:11] ---
    Aha! So I was right!
[16:14] ---
    I've solved this mystery!
[16:16] ---
    At any rate, I'll have to
    take you down to the station.
[16:19] ---
    What?!
[16:20] ---
    Come now, there's no use in denying it!
[16:22] ---
    Shut up! I didn't do it!
[16:28] ---
    What's he doing?
[16:31] ---
    Well, let's go.
[16:33] ---
    Not so fast.
[16:35] ---
    Mori-kun...
[16:36] ---
    I've figured it out
    for sure this time, Inspector.
[16:40] ---
    Figured out who did it, that is.
[16:41] ---
    Who?!
[16:44] ---
    The murderer is...
[16:46] ---
    ...you, Suwa-san!
[16:50] ---
    Hey now, Suwa-san
    practices swordsmanship--
[16:52] ---
    he wouldn't have made the corpse
    hold the sword incorrectly...
[16:54] ---
    That's why we were so easily fooled...
[16:58] ---
    ...which is exactly
    what Suwa-san wanted!
[17:00] ---
    What?
[17:02] ---
    To make himself look suspicious,
    he put sword cuts all over the room
[17:05] ---
    and then put the sword
    in the victim's hands.
[17:08] ---
    But he provided himself
    with an escape route
[17:10] ---
    by making the victim
    hold the sword incorrectly.
[17:12] ---
    By doing this, he made it look
    like someone had tried to frame him,
[17:17] ---
    and thus he was able to remove
    himself of any suspicion.
[17:22] ---
    Mori-san.
[17:23] ---
    Do you really intend to accuse me
    of this with nothing but conjecture?
[17:27] ---
    He has a point, Mori-kun!
[17:29] ---
    And besides, how do you
    explain the dragon carving?!
[17:32] ---
    You were the one who just accused
    Akutsu-san of being the murderer!
[17:36] ---
    I... was lying...
[17:38] ---
    Lying?!
[17:41] ---
    Suwa-san purposely left it unharmed
[17:44] ---
    in order to make
    Akutsu-san look suspicious!
[17:46] ---
    Nonsense. This is
    the first time we've met.
[17:49] ---
    How would I have known
    the dragon belonged to him?
[17:53] ---
    The answering machine.
[17:56] ---
    The phone call that
    Akutsu-san swore he made...
[17:59] ---
    My guess is that you heard it
    while committing the murder.
[18:02] ---
    If you sell the dragon carving
    I left with you, I swear I'll kill you!
[18:07] ---
    So you probably came up with a plan
    on the spot to frame Akutsu-san.
[18:11] ---
    But Akutsu-san's message
    wasn't on the tape!
[18:15] ---
    That's because Suwa-san
    rewound the tape
[18:17] ---
    and recorded his own message
    over the first one!
[18:20] ---
    But Dr. Hatano could
    have done that too.
[18:23] ---
    No...
[18:25] ---
    In your message, you confessed that you,
    yourself, were the murderer!
[18:30] ---
    What?!
[18:31] ---
    You left a message that you would
    arrive earlier than planned.
[18:35] ---
    Don't you find that strange?
[18:37] ---
    Going early to someone's house
    even though you know they're not home?
[18:41] ---
    You said that because you knew that
    Maru-san was here, in the cottage,
[18:45] ---
    as a corpse!
[18:49] ---
    Maru-san said he was meeting
    someone between 4:00 and 5:00,
[18:54] ---
    so he asked me to come at
    any time other than that.
[18:57] ---
    So I figured that coming before our
    appointed 6:00 was fine with him.
[19:01] ---
    Do you still suspect me now?
[19:05] ---
    I don't suspect you of killing him.
[19:08] ---
    I am certain of it!
[19:11] ---
    What?!
[19:13] ---
    There is definitive proof in
    this room that you are the murderer!
[19:18] ---
    W-Where?!
[19:20] ---
    The real reason for cutting up
    the room was to conceal something!
[19:25] ---
    To conceal something?
[19:27] ---
    The marks on the drawers.
[19:31] ---
    Take a close look at the cut marks.
[19:33] ---
    Some of them aren't connected.
[19:35] ---
    You're right!
[19:37] ---
    The drawers were switched
    around purposely by the killer.
[19:40] ---
    To put them back as they were,
[19:42] ---
    take the drawer on the top row,
    2nd from the left,
[19:46] ---
    and switch it with the rightmost
    drawer of the same row.
[19:53] ---
    Next, take the leftmost drawer
    of the next row down
[19:57] ---
    and switch it with the
    leftmost drawer of the 5th row.
[19:59] ---
    The 2nd row, 2nd column and the
    rightmost drawer of the same row.
[20:02] ---
    3rd row, 2nd column and the
    rightmost drawer of the 4th row.
[20:06] ---
    Finally, 5th row, 2nd column and
    the 4th row, 3rd column from the left.
[20:13] ---
    W-What is this?!
[20:15] ---
    "Suwa"?!
[20:17] ---
    My guess is that while Suwa-san was
    busy erasing Akutsu-san's message,
[20:21] ---
    the victim wrote this with his sword.
[20:24] ---
    Having realized this,
    you switched the drawers around
[20:27] ---
    and put your own cut marks on them
    to make the letters illegible.
[20:31] ---
    But the drawers would stand out
    as the only things damaged,
[20:35] ---
    so you cut up everything else
    in the room too.
[20:38] ---
    All to conceal the
    victim's dying message to us,
[20:41] ---
    which he had written on the drawers!
[20:43] ---
    But why? You had the money
    to pay off your debt!
[20:47] ---
    Because of a sword.
[20:49] ---
    A sword? The one the victim was holding?
[20:54] ---
    No, not that dull excuse for a sword.
[20:56] ---
    The sword that I left
    with him as collateral...
[20:58] ---
    The family sword that has been
    passed down for generations...
[21:01] ---
    ...the Kikuchiyo.
[21:02] ---
    He had the nerve to...
[21:06] ---
    Oh, that sword? I sold it.
[21:11] ---
    It didn't go for very much, though.
[21:13] ---
    Let's consider the money I received
    for it as the interest on your loan.
[21:20] ---
    Before I knew it, I had struck
    him down with the sword.
[21:24] ---
    Yes. Just like this!
[21:40] ---
    The rest happened just as you said.
[21:44] ---
    Even so, the fact that you didn't
    even flinch when I attacked...
[21:48] ---
    You are indeed an extraordinary detective,
    Mori Kogoro-dono.
[21:51] ---
    It would seem that my greatest mistake
[21:54] ---
    was not realizing that you were here.
[22:14] ---
    Just my imagination
[22:17] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea

[22:28] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm

[22:36] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[22:42] ---
    That's right...
[22:47] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes

[22:58] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious

[23:05] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh

[23:12] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me

[23:21] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[23:32] ---
    That was amazing, Dad!
[23:34] ---
    I've changed my opinion of you again!
[23:39] ---
    Oh? There's something on your head...
[23:48] ---
    Blood! It's blood! I'm bleeding!
[23:54] ---
    Incidentally, the old man's injury
    turned out to be a 3-millimeter scratch.
[24:02] ---
    Conan and the others are
    at the department store.
[24:05] ---
    It's a gang of thieves!
[24:07] ---
    Genta-kun isn't back yet...
[24:09] ---
    Make me some food already!
[24:13] ---
    Is this the investigation section?
[24:14] ---
    Could you get Inspector Megure?
[24:19] ---
    We're surrounded!
[24:21] ---
    A thief gang in the department store?
[24:24] ---
    Don't tell me that those kids are...
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    The Department Store Hijack.
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Elevator girl.
[24:52] ---
    Next episode takes place at a
    creepy department store late at night.
