[00:01] ---
    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 on location
    for a TV drama!
[00:11] ---
    No matter how good an actor is,
    there is 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 TV Drama Murder Case.
[01:52] ---
    Beika Shrine
[02:12] ---
    No...
[02:17] ---
    I never meant to kill you!
[02:23] ---
    Cut!
[02:25] ---
    Okay! That's it for this scene!
[02:28] ---
    That was some fine acting, Yoko!
[02:31] ---
    Filming a TV drama is interesting,
    don't you think?
[02:34] ---
    Yeah!
[02:35] ---
    Popular Idol Okino Yoko (21)
[02:36] ---
    Thank you!
[02:39] ---
    Leading Man Nachi Shingo (23)
[02:40] ---
    As if the great leading man
    Nachi Shingo would ever mess up!
[02:44] ---
    Yoko-chan! You must be exhausted!
[02:48] ---
    Thank you, Mori-san!
[02:49] ---
    What an amazing performance that was!
[02:52] ---
    I'm absolutely certain that this drama
    will go down as a masterpiece!
[02:56] ---
    But only because you helped
    supervise the mystery writing!
[03:00] ---
    That's right!
[03:02] ---
    We have with us the
    famous detective who's known
[03:04] ---
    as the modern-day Akechi Kogoro!
[03:06] ---
    This drama's going to be a smash hit,
    no doubt about it!
[03:08] ---
    Well, I suppose I did help a lot!
[03:15] ---
    He's on top of the world now...
[03:18] ---
    This goes here,
    and this goes like this...
[03:22] ---
    Way too easy...
[03:24] ---
    Hey, you!
[03:25] ---
    Don't be touching my things!
[03:28] ---
    I'm sorry, Nachi-san!
[03:29] ---
    I wasn't paying
    close enough attention to him...
[03:33] ---
    Well, I guess I can forgive him
    if it's for a cute girl like you...
[03:36] ---
    Thank you!
[03:38] ---
    Bah. What a smooth talker.
[03:41] ---
    You're into matchstick puzzles,
    Nachi-san?
[03:45] ---
    Yes, leading men like me
    prefer intelligent hobbies.
[03:51] ---
    Oh, is that so?
[03:54] ---
    Nachi-san! Good work today!
[03:54] ---
    Continuity Checker Mamegaki Taeko (24)
[03:56] ---
    Here's a towel!
[03:57] ---
    Oh! Thank you!
[04:00] ---
    Say, would you have dinner
    with me tonight?
[04:03] ---
    Sorry, I can't!
[04:04] ---
    Oh, come on!
[04:06] ---
    She can't.
[04:08] ---
    She and this kid are
    getting hitched next month.
[04:11] ---
    Ain't that right, Shimazaki?
[04:12] ---
    Assistant Director Shimazaki Yuji (26)
[04:13] ---
    Yeah...
[04:17] ---
    Really?! Congratulations!
[04:20] ---
    Thanks!
[04:21] ---
    They only seem like flowers
    before you marry them.
[04:25] ---
    You don't know it's an illusion
    until it's too late.
[04:28] ---
    What?!
[04:30] ---
    No, Yuji-san!
[04:31] ---
    He always has something bad to say!
[04:35] ---
    It's just what people say.
    I'm not necessarily talking about you.
[04:39] ---
    Don't get so upset.
[04:45] ---
    It's my watch's alarm.
[04:46] ---
    Cool sound, huh? I bought it
    last month when I went to America.
[04:54] ---
    Guess you don't care.
[04:56] ---
    See you chumps later.
[04:58] ---
    What a jerk...
[05:02] ---
    One, two, three...
[05:05] ---
    Are they finished filming?
[05:07] ---
    Yes, Grandfather.
[05:09] ---
    Make sure to clean everything up
    before you leave.
[05:12] ---
    Especially things like that.
[05:15] ---
    We will, Grandfather!
[05:17] ---
    I leave it in your hands.
[05:20] ---
    Your grandfather is
    the shrine keeper here?!
[05:24] ---
    Yes, this shrine is where I grew up.
[05:27] ---
    Hey, Ran-neechan...
[05:29] ---
    Didn't your friend ask you
    to get Nachi Shingo's autograph?
[05:33] ---
    I forgot!
[05:34] ---
    Where is he?!
[05:35] ---
    Already went to change clothes.
[05:37] ---
    Oh no!
[05:38] ---
    Wait a sec, Ran-neechan!
[05:41] ---
    Cut the crap!
[05:43] ---
    That's Nachi-san's voice...
[05:45] ---
    Do you even have any proof?!
[05:47] ---
    Of course I do.
[05:49] ---
    If you want these photos and negatives,
    you know what to do.
[05:53] ---
    Money?!
[05:56] ---
    What's the matter?
[05:59] ---
    No, nothing at all!
[06:06] ---
    Mori-san. We'll be staying
    at this inn tonight.
[06:09] ---
    How about a nice bath and a drink?
[06:12] ---
    Sounds good to me!
[06:14] ---
    Give me a break, Dad...
[06:16] ---
    Ran-san and Conan-kun should come too!
[06:19] ---
    Sure!
[06:20] ---
    What a crappy-looking inn!
[06:22] ---
    A leading man such as me would
    never stay in a place like this!
[06:25] ---
    This constant talk about being
    a leading man is really annoying...
[06:29] ---
    I'll be staying at the Teitan Hotel.
[06:33] ---
    Wait, Nachi-san!
[06:35] ---
    He's hopeless...
[06:41] ---
    Drink up, Mori-san!
[06:44] ---
    Sorry for the wait!
[06:47] ---
    Hey, Anzai! Where you goin'?
[06:49] ---
    The camera doesn't
    keep itself tuned up, you know.
[06:52] ---
    What an unfriendly fellow.
[06:55] ---
    Yuji-san. I need to take care
    of something at home...
[06:59] ---
    Okay. Hurry back.
[07:08] ---
    You don't need make-up, Ran-san!
    You're still young!
[07:12] ---
    That's Shimazaki-san!
[07:15] ---
    Hey, Shimazaki! Get me some
    cigarettes while you're out.
[07:18] ---
    Sure thing!
[07:20] ---
    Say, Ran-san! Let's go
    to the convenience store!
[07:24] ---
    But isn't it a bad idea for
    an idol to walk outside at night?
[07:28] ---
    I'll be fine!
[07:29] ---
    Nobody'll recognize me if I change
    my hairstyle and wear a hat!
[07:34] ---
    I saw them changing!
[07:36] ---
    Yoko-san. Are you really
    sure this is okay?
[07:39] ---
    Of course!
[07:45] ---
    It looks like Anzai-san's
    going out too...
[07:50] ---
    You worry too much, Ran-san!
[07:53] ---
    Huh?
[07:55] ---
    Taeko-san...
[07:58] ---
    Taeko-san?
[07:59] ---
    Taeko-san!
[08:01] ---
    Oh, Ran-san!
[08:02] ---
    Is something the matter?
[08:04] ---
    No...
[08:10] ---
    I wonder what that was about...
[08:11] ---
    She looked like she had seen a ghost...
[08:15] ---
    Thank you!
[08:20] ---
    See? I told you we'd be fine!
[08:22] ---
    You were right! They didn't
    recognize you at all!
[08:28] ---
    Who was that?!
[08:29] ---
    Don't tell me it was an offering thief!
[08:37] ---
    There's someone on the ground!
[08:42] ---
    Anzai-san!
[08:46] ---
    He's dead! Call the police!
[08:49] ---
    Hurry!
[08:49] ---
    Right!
[08:56] ---
    Even if the victim's hat
    fell off when he collapsed,
[08:59] ---
    how did his vest come off?!
[09:04] ---
    This is the knife they
    used during filming!
[09:09] ---
    Which means that the killer was
    someone on the filming crew!
[09:20] ---
    Shinto Statue
[09:22] ---
    This is a dying message
    the victim left behind!
[09:26] ---
    "Shinto Statue?"
[09:28] ---
    Is this a clue to who did it?!
[09:34] ---
    You saw someone suspicious before
    you found the body, correct?
[09:39] ---
    Yes. But it was too dark to even
    tell if it was a man or a woman.
[09:44] ---
    And that was around 10:30.
[09:46] ---
    That means the murder
    took place between 10:00
[09:49] ---
    and when the victim left the inn at 10:30.
[09:54] ---
    Inspector. This case is surprisingly simple.
[09:57] ---
    How's that?
[09:59] ---
    First off, the murder weapon was
    used during the show's filming.
[10:05] ---
    Second, "Shinto Statue" clearly
    refers to the Shinto Shrine.
[10:08] ---
    From these two facts alone...
[10:11] ---
    ...the killer must be you,
    Mamegaki Taeko-san!
[10:13] ---
    Nonsense! Taeko would never kill anyone!
[10:16] ---
    Taeko-san. You were gone for nearly
    an hour during the party, correct?
[10:21] ---
    I needed to get something at home...
[10:25] ---
    Our house is behind the shrine.
[10:26] ---
    Can anyone verify that you were there?
[10:29] ---
    Grandfather was out at the time,
    so I was the only one there...
[10:32] ---
    But Taeko-san came back just
    as Anzai-san left the inn!
[10:38] ---
    What?!
[10:40] ---
    After she came back, she stayed
    in the hall the whole time...
[10:44] ---
    That means she couldn't
    possibly have killed him.
[10:48] ---
    Get a hold of yourself, will ya?!
[10:50] ---
    Any fingerprints on the murder weapon?!
[10:53] ---
    No. But it looks like
    someone wiped them away.
[10:55] ---
    That's weird!
[10:56] ---
    If the killer had time to wipe
    the fingerprints off,
[10:59] ---
    why not run off with
    the murder weapon instead?!
[11:01] ---
    Did anyone among you leave the inn
    between 10:00 and 10:30?
[11:09] ---
    Um... I went to buy cigarettes.
[11:12] ---
    When was this?
[11:14] ---
    Let me think...
[11:15] ---
    9:45!
[11:17] ---
    I happened to look
    at my watch just then!
[11:20] ---
    And when did you return?
[11:22] ---
    About 30 minutes later.
[11:23] ---
    Which would be 10:15?
[11:26] ---
    Yes.
[11:27] ---
    Tell me, Nachi-san.
[11:29] ---
    I hear you were the only one who
    decided to stay at the Teitan Hotel
[11:31] ---
    instead of this inn.
[11:33] ---
    My pride as a leading man wouldn't
    let me stay in such a hovel!
[11:38] ---
    Where were you between
    10:00 and 10:30?
[11:42] ---
    I was in the hotel bar until 10:00.
[11:45] ---
    Plenty of people can vouch for me.
[11:47] ---
    I'm asking about after that!
[11:49] ---
    I was in my hotel room.
[11:51] ---
    Can anyone verify this?
[11:52] ---
    I was by myself, so no!
[11:55] ---
    The killer's someone
    on the filming crew...
[11:59] ---
    Our only clue is the phrase "Shinto Statue,"
    which the victim wrote...
[12:03] ---
    Taeko-san is the one most closely
    connected to Shinto statues...
[12:06] ---
    But she returned to the inn
    just as the victim was leaving it.
[12:12] ---
    Come to think of it...
[12:14] ---
    ...why was she so surprised then?!
[12:19] ---
    Shimazaki-san went to buy
    cigarettes at 9:45
[12:22] ---
    and returned to the inn at 10:15.
[12:24] ---
    More than enough time
    to commit the murder.
[12:27] ---
    But it was 10:30 when we saw
    the person at the shrine.
[12:30] ---
    Shimazaki-san was back
    at the inn by then.
[12:34] ---
    Nachi-san has no alibi after 10:00--
    he could have done it as well.
[12:38] ---
    It sounded like he was being
    blackmailed by the victim,
[12:40] ---
    so in terms of motive,
    he's the most suspicious.
[12:43] ---
    And Nachi-san was most likely
    the one we saw in the shadows!
[12:47] ---
    Inspector! We found these
    in the victim's room!
[12:53] ---
    Nachi-san... This is you leaving
    a hotel with a woman...
[12:58] ---
    That's the actress Hagiyama Ritsuko!
[13:02] ---
    But she's married!
[13:05] ---
    Photographic evidence
    of your infidelity...
[13:07] ---
    Now that you mention it!
[13:09] ---
    Do you know something, Ran?!
[13:11] ---
    I saw Anzai-san trying to
    blackmail Nachi-san earlier!
[13:16] ---
    Blackmail?!
[13:19] ---
    So you are the killer!
[13:21] ---
    I already told you, I didn't do it!
[13:23] ---
    If I killed him, then what the hell
    does "Shinto Statue" mean?!
[13:26] ---
    You sure that's not
    one of your nicknames?
[13:28] ---
    You idiot!
[13:29] ---
    No leading man like me would
    have a crappy nickname like that!
[13:36] ---
    What exactly does this
    "Shinto Statue" mean?!
[13:42] ---
    Wait a second!
[13:43] ---
    Why would he go through the
    trouble of writing it down?!
[13:46] ---
    He was killed right
    in front of a Shinto statue--
[13:48] ---
    all he had to do was point at it!
[13:50] ---
    There was no need to write it out!
[13:53] ---
    What's this?!
[13:59] ---
    Do you even have any proof
    that I was here?!
[14:03] ---
    Huh? This writing is weird!
[14:04] ---
    This character isn't drawn right!
[14:07] ---
    That lousy kid's at it again!
[14:09] ---
    How many times do I have to--
[14:11] ---
    This man was an adult, but he
    couldn't even write katakana right!
[14:15] ---
    What did he draw wrong?
[14:17] ---
    You're supposed to write
    this part here all in one stroke.
[14:22] ---
    But he wrote it using two.
[14:24] ---
    What now?!
[14:27] ---
    You're right...
[14:30] ---
    He did the same with
    the last character too!
[14:32] ---
    What?!
[14:35] ---
    What if these incorrect strokes were
    actually lines that were added later?!
[14:42] ---
    "Leading man"?!
[14:43] ---
    The only leading man
    around here is Nachi Shingo!
[14:47] ---
    It looks like some definitive
    proof has shown itself.
[14:49] ---
    No! It wasn't me!
[14:52] ---
    I'll admit that I was supposed
    to meet Anzai here at 10:30,
[14:56] ---
    but when I showed up,
    he was already dead!
[15:00] ---
    Enough of this tomfoolery!
[15:01] ---
    It's the truth! He really
    was dead when I got here!
[15:05] ---
    I was about to run away, but then
    I saw "leading man" written there...
[15:08] ---
    So I added some vertical lines like
    in the matchstick puzzles that I do!
[15:12] ---
    If you're not the killer, then why
    did the victim write "leading man"?
[15:17] ---
    Hell if I know!
[15:19] ---
    Wait a minute!
[15:20] ---
    It's not normal for someone
    to fake a dying message
[15:23] ---
    but not come up with a fake alibi!
[15:25] ---
    Maybe the real killer altered
    the message to say "leading man"!
[15:35] ---
    Could this be what I think it is?!
[15:37] ---
    It couldn't have been that person!
[15:44] ---
    What's that?!
[15:47] ---
    There's no blood on this watch!
[15:50] ---
    Aha! That's it!
[15:52] ---
    Now I know the truth behind this case!
[15:55] ---
    It wasn't me! I didn't do it!
[15:58] ---
    Listen to how pathetic you sound,
    Mr. Leading Man!
[16:07] ---
    You can give us the details
    down at the station.
[16:10] ---
    Not so fast!
[16:13] ---
    Inspector Megure.
    Nachi-san is not the murderer.
[16:16] ---
    Come again?!
[16:18] ---
    The reason being that the murder
    took place before 10:00!
[16:22] ---
    That's impossible!
[16:24] ---
    What are you talking about, Dad?
[16:26] ---
    We saw Anzai-san leave
    the inn around 10:00!
[16:29] ---
    We even heard his watch alarm go off!
[16:32] ---
    Inspector. Have a look
    at the victim's wristwatch.
[16:35] ---
    His watch?
[16:39] ---
    His entire left arm is covered in blood,
[16:41] ---
    but there's none at all on his watch.
[16:44] ---
    You're right!
[16:45] ---
    In other words, someone removed
    the watch from the body
[16:51] ---
    after the victim was killed!
[16:53] ---
    Someone removed his watch?
[16:55] ---
    This particular person wanted to
    make it look like the murder happened
[16:58] ---
    later than it actually did.
[17:00] ---
    So the killer came up with the idea
    of taking the watch back to the inn
[17:04] ---
    and setting the alarm off
    in the victim's room.
[17:07] ---
    But it would cause problems if blood
    dripped off it on the way back,
[17:10] ---
    so the killer wiped the watch clean.
[17:13] ---
    That means the person
    we saw at the inn was--
[17:16] ---
    That's right. That wasn't Anzai-san.
[17:19] ---
    The person who set the alarm
    off in Anzai-san's room
[17:22] ---
    put his vest and hat on and left
    the inn disguised as Anzai-san himself.
[17:29] ---
    This person rushed back to the shrine,
[17:32] ---
    put the watch back on the dead body,
[17:34] ---
    and then dropped the hat and vest nearby!
[17:37] ---
    Then the killer wrote "leading man"
    to make Nachi-san look guilty!
[17:43] ---
    If the killer wanted
    Nachi-san to look guilty,
[17:45] ---
    why not just write "Nachi"?!
[17:47] ---
    That would have been a much
    more effective way of fooling us!
[17:50] ---
    The killer couldn't write "Nachi."
[17:52] ---
    The reason being that the victim
    had already written something
[17:56] ---
    that identified the murderer.
[17:57] ---
    Something that identified the murderer?
[17:59] ---
    That's right.
[18:00] ---
    "Leading man" was actually a
    single word that the victim wrote,
[18:03] ---
    with extra strokes added in later.
[18:05] ---
    Then what was the
    original word the victim wrote?!
[18:09] ---
    It was "Mame."
[18:13] ---
    Mamegaki Taeko-san.
    You're the murderer.
[18:17] ---
    Nonsense! She would never!
[18:20] ---
    It couldn't be!
[18:21] ---
    But Mori-san!
[18:23] ---
    Taeko-san returned to the inn just as
    the person disguised as Anzai-san left!
[18:29] ---
    It was me! I killed Anzai-san!
[18:32] ---
    I was the one who dressed up as him!
[18:34] ---
    But the word "Mame"
    wasn't written there!
[18:36] ---
    Shimazaki-san. You were indeed
    the one who dressed up as him,
[18:40] ---
    but you cannot possibly be the killer.
[18:42] ---
    See the huge spray of blood
    around the body?
[18:46] ---
    The killer must have been covered
    in a lot of blood as well.
[18:49] ---
    But there's not even a single
    drop on your clothes.
[18:53] ---
    The only person who had time
    to change clothes and wash off the blood
[18:58] ---
    was Taeko-san!
[18:59] ---
    No! I killed him!
[19:03] ---
    Yuji-san. It's over.
[19:05] ---
    Taeko!
[19:07] ---
    It's just as you said, Mori-san.
[19:09] ---
    I killed Anzai-san.
[19:11] ---
    Taeko-san!
[19:12] ---
    No way!
[19:14] ---
    I take it you didn't know Shimazaki-san
    had dressed up as him?
[19:19] ---
    No.
[19:20] ---
    So I was really shocked when
    I saw Anzai-san at the front door...
[19:26] ---
    I had no idea what was going on anymore.
[19:29] ---
    But why, Taeko-san?!
[19:33] ---
    Taeko-san. Anzai was blackmailing
    you too, wasn't he?
[19:37] ---
    Yes.
[19:39] ---
    When I was in high school,
    I turned rebellious for a short time
[19:42] ---
    after my parents died in an accident.
[19:45] ---
    I stopped going to school and started
    hanging out with the wrong crowd...
[19:49] ---
    Anzai was one of them.
[19:54] ---
    Grandfather.
[19:55] ---
    Remember when everyone
    was in an uproar
[19:58] ---
    after that expensive statue was stolen
    from the shrine storehouse?
[20:01] ---
    Yes...
[20:02] ---
    That was my fault.
[20:05] ---
    After I mentioned it to Anzai,
    he immediately went and stole it...
[20:11] ---
    What?!
[20:13] ---
    Why didn't you tell me?!
[20:14] ---
    I tried to!
[20:17] ---
    But Sugiyama-san, who was
    in charge of the storehouse,
[20:20] ---
    felt responsible for it
    and killed himself!
[20:23] ---
    I was too scared to say anything
    after seeing that!
[20:28] ---
    After that, I quit hanging
    around Anzai and the others,
[20:31] ---
    and I started taking school
    seriously again.
[20:33] ---
    I had nearly managed to suppress
    the memories of that detestable event!
[20:38] ---
    All I wanted was to marry Yuji-san
    and start a happy family!
[20:43] ---
    But then he showed up!
[20:45] ---
    And then he tried to blackmail you.
[20:48] ---
    Yes.
[20:49] ---
    He said that since
    I had been an accomplice,
[20:52] ---
    I was just as responsible
    for Sugiyama-san's suicide!
[20:55] ---
    He told me over and over!
[20:57] ---
    I felt that if something wasn't done,
    he would ruin our marriage!
[21:03] ---
    I was supposed to pay Anzai
    some money here at 9:30 tonight.
[21:08] ---
    But instead, I brought a knife
    and threatened Anzai back!
[21:12] ---
    I told him never to show
    his face around me ever again!
[21:16] ---
    He got mad and rushed for me...
[21:19] ---
    ...and then the knife
    just happened to--
[21:27] ---
    I never meant to kill him!
[21:34] ---
    You seemed strange when you left,
    so I pretended to go buy cigarettes.
[21:40] ---
    When I got to the shrine,
    Anzai was dead,
[21:42] ---
    and the word "Mame" was
    written in blood next to him.
[21:45] ---
    I figured you were
    the one who killed him,
[21:48] ---
    so I tried my hardest
    to alter all the evidence!
[21:50] ---
    I wiped the fingerprints off the knife,
[21:51] ---
    and took Anzai's watch back to the inn!
[21:55] ---
    The rest is exactly as Mori-san deduced.
[21:57] ---
    I should've just gotten rid
    of that writing in blood!
[22:00] ---
    But then I remembered how he threatened
    Nachi-san earlier this evening,
[22:04] ---
    so I made "Mame" say
    "leading man" instead!
[22:08] ---
    I'm so sorry, Yuji-san! Forgive me!
[22:11] ---
    Taeko!
[22:44] ---
    Just my imagination
[22:47] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea
[22:58] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm
[23:06] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[23:12] ---
    That's right...
[23:17] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes
[23:28] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious
[23:35] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh
[23:42] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me
[23:51] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[24:07] ---
    This door was locked!
[24:09] ---
    He may have killed himself!
[24:11] ---
    Nope. This was a murder!
[24:14] ---
    You're in the way again?!
[24:16] ---
    Look closely at the doorway!
[24:20] ---
    The murderer is among the seven of you!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
