[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 is a ransom case!
    Money won't buy love!
[00:11] ---
    Even if the evidence is underwater,
    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
[01:47] ---
    The Fake Ransom Case.
[02:16] ---
    It's almost time. Don't push it, now.
[02:20] ---
    The hostage's safety
    is the most important.
[02:25] ---
    I can hardly believe this
    is Mr. Takei's daughter...
[02:32] ---
    Hello?!
[02:33] ---
    Do you have the money?
[02:35] ---
    I do!
[02:37] ---
    Let Naoko go!
[02:38] ---
    Hold on. I'll let you see her.
[02:47] ---
    The kidnapper showed up
    in a mini-van, Inspector!
[02:50] ---
    It stopped nearby!
[02:56] ---
    Naoko!
[02:59] ---
    I'll bring the money now.
[03:03] ---
    Wait. There are policemen hiding here.
[03:07] ---
    The deal is off.
[03:10] ---
    Wait!
[03:13] ---
    They're running away!
[03:16] ---
    Let's go!
[04:00] ---
    The car never braked
    and flew right into the water.
[04:06] ---
    So you were classmates
    with the kidnapped Takei Naoko?
[04:11] ---
    Yes.
[04:15] ---
    Takei Naoko...
[04:18] ---
    She always looked so lonely...
[04:22] ---
    But there's no way
    she could've survived this...
[04:35] ---
    Inspector!
[04:36] ---
    We couldn't find her body
    at the river bottom either.
[04:39] ---
    The river runs fast in this area, so
    she may have been taken downstream...
[04:43] ---
    Oh no!
[04:44] ---
    What do you mean, her body?!
[04:47] ---
    I left everything up to you because
    I thought I could trust the police!
[04:51] ---
    And then you screwed everything up!
[04:53] ---
    Give her back! Give Naoko back!
[04:59] ---
    If the mini-van fell front-first,
    then why is only the side window broken?
[05:07] ---
    A hammer!
[05:08] ---
    Conan! Not again!
[05:11] ---
    Sorry!
[05:12] ---
    You lousy kid!
[05:15] ---
    I can no longer trust the police!
[05:17] ---
    So I would like you to
    catch the one responsible.
[05:21] ---
    Understood.
[05:23] ---
    My secretary Hanai-*kun
    *will give you the details.
[05:26] ---
    I'm Hanai Akiko.
[05:28] ---
    Could you explain the circumstances
    under which she was kidnapped?
[05:32] ---
    Circumstances?
[05:36] ---
    Naoko-chan and I were
    supposed to see a movie that day,
[05:39] ---
    so I went to meet her.
[05:41] ---
    But hours passed
    and she never showed up.
[05:46] ---
    So you grew worried
    and contacted the police?
[05:49] ---
    No. I realized
    it was a kidnapping
[05:54] ---
    when the kidnapper
    called my cell phone.
[05:57] ---
    The kidnapper warned you
    not to tell the police, I assume?
[06:01] ---
    I immediately told Mr. Takei...
[06:04] ---
    It was all my fault; if only I hadn't
    suggested seeing a movie!
[06:10] ---
    Ran.
[06:12] ---
    Do you have any ideas about
    who the kidnapper may be?
[06:15] ---
    I wouldn't have hired you if I did!
[06:18] ---
    Then let me put it another way.
[06:20] ---
    Do you know anyone who
    may hold a grudge against you?
[06:24] ---
    Pardon my rudeness, but you
    are an infamous corporate raider.
[06:28] ---
    Are you sure you haven't
    made a lot of enemies in your time?
[06:30] ---
    The old man's finally
    getting better at this!
[06:33] ---
    I don't remember every single thing!
[06:35] ---
    Listen! Business is war!
[06:38] ---
    The losers are the ones at fault!
[06:40] ---
    Got that?!
[06:41] ---
    Ugh! He backs down too easy!
[06:44] ---
    Akiko-san's room
    was on the 2nd floor, right?
[06:48] ---
    Well? How's Akiko-san?
[06:50] ---
    Dad...
[06:52] ---
    Naoko really thought of
    Akiko-san as an older sister.
[06:57] ---
    She said that she was also
    like a mother to her,
[06:59] ---
    since her real mother
    had died when she was young.
[07:04] ---
    Akiko-san.
[07:06] ---
    Akiko-san!
[07:10] ---
    Hey...
[07:13] ---
    Oh, it's you two...
[07:15] ---
    Are you alright? We called
    out to you a couple times...
[07:19] ---
    I'm sorry. I damaged my hearing a bit...
[07:24] ---
    Huh? She's--
[07:26] ---
    Have you given up on Naoko-chan too?
[07:29] ---
    She's alive! I just know it!
[07:38] ---
    But they've looked this hard
    and still haven't found her...
[07:42] ---
    She's probably--
[07:51] ---
    That poor woman...
[07:55] ---
    That's it!
[07:57] ---
    Ran-neechan!
    Let's take a look over there!
[08:00] ---
    What for?
[08:01] ---
    Somebody might've seen it!
[08:07] ---
    That day?
[08:08] ---
    Did anything out of
    the ordinary happen?
[08:10] ---
    You can say that. The police asked
    us to help with their investigation.
[08:15] ---
    All the ships in
    this area helped 'em.
[08:18] ---
    All of them?
[08:19] ---
    Yeah. It's the sailors' code to work
    together when something happens.
[08:25] ---
    Not that guy with
    the speedboat, though...
[08:29] ---
    Speedboat?
[08:30] ---
    Yeah, it almost ran
    straight into my boat, here...
[08:42] ---
    Probably some rich guy who goes
    around sailing with other rich guys.
[08:46] ---
    What kind of speedboat was it?!
[08:52] ---
    Is this the speedboat
    he was talking about?
[08:55] ---
    Conan-kun!
    Don't get on without permission!
[09:00] ---
    Diving equipment?
[09:03] ---
    Both the kidnapper and
    Takei Naoko may still be alive!
[09:11] ---
    That was no accident;
    the kidnapper drove off on purpose.
[09:16] ---
    As a means of escape!
[09:31] ---
    The kidnapper broke
    the side window with a hammer
[09:33] ---
    that was placed
    in the car in advance,
[09:36] ---
    swam underwater
    to the opposite shore,
[09:39] ---
    and got into
    a waiting speedboat!
[09:46] ---
    The culprit then escaped
[09:47] ---
    while the police were focusing
    their attention on the mini-van.
[09:53] ---
    Why would they do that?
[09:55] ---
    Probably to confuse
    the police into thinking
[09:58] ---
    that both kidnapper
    and the hostage had died.
[10:04] ---
    There could be other reasons, too...
[10:10] ---
    The only thing I don't understand
    is about the hostage, Takei Naoko.
[10:15] ---
    Her body hasn't turned up.
[10:17] ---
    We only found enough scuba
    diving equipment for one person.
[10:20] ---
    How did the kidnapper
    get her out of the sunken car?
[10:24] ---
    Or was she never in it at all?
[10:30] ---
    No, she was seen inside it!
[10:34] ---
    Conan-kun!
[10:37] ---
    Ran-neechan!
    Did you find anything out?
[10:40] ---
    According to the manager here,
[10:41] ---
    the boat's owner simply abandoned
    it and it hasn't been used since.
[10:46] ---
    Maybe that man
    mistook it for another boat...
[10:50] ---
    That can't be!
[10:52] ---
    But how do I prove this!
[10:55] ---
    The investigation is cancelled?!
[10:57] ---
    What for? What's going on?!
[11:00] ---
    Don't look at me. He was
    the one who decided to cancel it!
[11:04] ---
    I'd like to know why, myself!
[11:06] ---
    Rich people are stingy, after all.
[11:09] ---
    He probably regrets wasting
    money on his dead daughter now.
[11:13] ---
    No! She's not dead at all!
[11:16] ---
    And how do you know that?
[11:19] ---
    Um, well...
[11:21] ---
    I think so too!
[11:22] ---
    I don't want to believe
    that Naoko's dead!
[11:27] ---
    Ugh. Kids can be
    so pampered sometimes.
[11:32] ---
    Listen. It's obvious once you
    think about it with a cool head.
[11:36] ---
    Given the circumstances,
[11:37] ---
    neither the hostage nor the
    kidnapper can possibly be alive.
[11:42] ---
    But!
[11:43] ---
    But you know,
[11:45] ---
    by doing this, he's basically insulting
    your reputation as a great detective.
[11:49] ---
    You have a point there!
[11:52] ---
    Alright, then!
[11:56] ---
    Leave!
[11:57] ---
    My daughter-- Naoko-- is dead!
[12:01] ---
    There's no bringing her back now!
[12:04] ---
    But!
[12:10] ---
    This is what you want, isn't it?!
    Your cancellation fee.
[12:13] ---
    Take it and get out!
[12:17] ---
    I don't want your lousy money!
    You can keep it!
[12:21] ---
    Ran! Let's go!
[12:26] ---
    Damn it! That old fogy really
    knows how to piss me off!
[12:32] ---
    Oh, I just remembered...
[12:35] ---
    What?
[12:36] ---
    I promised to meet my friends...
[12:39] ---
    See ya!
[12:40] ---
    Bah. That spoiled
    little kid has it easy.
[12:48] ---
    His attitude changed too quickly!
[12:51] ---
    Leave!
[12:54] ---
    There's no mistake about it!
    The kidnapper must've contacted him!
[13:09] ---
    Are you just going
    to let Naoko-chan die?!
[13:14] ---
    Mr. Takei!
[13:16] ---
    If you don't really gather
    all the money this time,
[13:19] ---
    she might be killed!
[13:22] ---
    But we don't even
    know if she's alive or not--
[13:25] ---
    Mr. Takei! Have a look for yourself!
[13:29] ---
    Even in the picture
    the kidnapper sent us,
[13:32] ---
    the newspaper has yesterday's date!
[13:37] ---
    I thought so.
[13:44] ---
    Naoko-chan believes with
    all her heart that you'll save her!
[13:49] ---
    Mr. Takei!
[13:50] ---
    If I gather the 500 million now and
    then lose it in another stupid mistake,
[13:54] ---
    my latest business
    deal will go up in smoke!
[13:58] ---
    Don't you see?!
[14:02] ---
    Money or Naoko-chan?
    Which is more important?!
[14:05] ---
    Naoko, of course!
[14:07] ---
    But if this deal falls through,
    my company will go--
[14:11] ---
    --bankrupt. There's no question about that.
[14:15] ---
    Who cares about the company?
[14:18] ---
    It won't replace Naoko-chan's life!
[14:20] ---
    But I built this company
    with my own two hands!
[14:25] ---
    Yeah, by sucking the
    lifeblood out of other people!
[14:28] ---
    Shut up!
[14:29] ---
    Corporate raiding is a
    perfectly legitimate business!
[14:34] ---
    Weak people lose! And the losers
    have no one to blame but themselves!
[14:40] ---
    That damn old man!
[14:45] ---
    Who's there?!
[14:47] ---
    Why, you little!
[14:49] ---
    Conan-kun!
[14:52] ---
    I was looking for the bathroom--
[14:54] ---
    This is private property, boy!
[14:56] ---
    Please don't tell anyone
    about this, Conan-kun.
[15:00] ---
    If the police found out, Naoko-*chan
    *would be killed for sure this time!
[15:05] ---
    Okay.
[15:09] ---
    We can't afford to let him
    leave here for a while!
[15:11] ---
    Lock him in your room or something!
[15:19] ---
    Sorry about this, Conan-kun.
[15:21] ---
    Try to endure it for a short while.
[15:24] ---
    Once the deal is over,
    I promise we'll let you out.
[15:27] ---
    Say, what did the
    kidnapper tell you guys?
[15:30] ---
    The same as before.
[15:31] ---
    "Prepare 500 million yen by tomorrow."
[15:34] ---
    Are you going to pay?
[15:36] ---
    You saw what kind
    of person Mr. Takei is...
[15:39] ---
    He'll get the money if Naoko-*san
    *is important to him, right?
[15:43] ---
    Money is the only
    thing important to him!
[15:52] ---
    What's wrong?
[15:54] ---
    I had a younger brother named Masahito.
[15:57] ---
    "Had"?
[15:58] ---
    Yes. He died, four years ago.
[16:04] ---
    No, he was murdered.
[16:06] ---
    He was still about your age.
[16:11] ---
    I'm sorry. Let me hold you for a while.
[16:25] ---
    I'll bring some dinner later.
[16:46] ---
    Do you think you
    can fool the kidnapper
[16:49] ---
    with these wads of cash
    made out of newspaper?
[16:52] ---
    Quiet. This is the only choice left!
[17:06] ---
    Conan-kun!
[17:07] ---
    What are you doing?! Let's go!
[17:33] ---
    Now that I think about it,
[17:35] ---
    nobody's actually
    seen Takei Naoko's face!
[17:39] ---
    Her mouth was taped
    and she had a blindfold on.
[17:41] ---
    There was no way
    to see her face clearly!
[17:43] ---
    The kidnapper was the only
    person ever inside the mini-van!
[17:47] ---
    Yes! One person played the role of two!
[17:52] ---
    Nobody once doubted that it was Naoko.
[17:54] ---
    It's not unreasonable;
    she was far away,
[17:57] ---
    and everyone just assumed it was her.
[18:05] ---
    Wait. There are policemen hiding here.
[18:08] ---
    The deal is off.
[18:11] ---
    The kidnapper was completely
    aware of what the police were up to!
[18:14] ---
    It's only natural!
[18:15] ---
    The kidnapper was always
    right by Takei-san, after all!
[18:25] ---
    The diving watch mark on her arm...
[18:28] ---
    Her tan line from wearing a wetsuit...
[18:30] ---
    And then what she did that one time!
[18:34] ---
    An ear-unplugging technique
    that every diver knows about!
[18:37] ---
    She must've injured her ears
    when she suddenly entered the water!
[18:43] ---
    What's going on?!
    It's long past our agreed time!
[18:47] ---
    The kidnapper is here.
    Has been for a while.
[18:53] ---
    What are you doing, you idiot?!
[18:56] ---
    You made me sprain my ankle!
[18:59] ---
    That's nothing.
[19:01] ---
    Compared to the pain
    you gave my family, anyway.
[19:04] ---
    Come again?!
[19:06] ---
    You don't remember this place?
[19:11] ---
    These are the remains of a company
    that you took hostile control over.
[19:14] ---
    What?! You don't mean that you're--
[19:16] ---
    That's right!
[19:18] ---
    I'm the daughter of the
    former company director here.
[19:22] ---
    My father killed himself,
    and he took his wife and son with him...
[19:27] ---
    Leaving only me behind...
[19:30] ---
    I was a college student at the time.
[19:32] ---
    I was taken in by some
    relatives, changed my last name,
[19:36] ---
    and then joined your company.
[19:39] ---
    To wait for a chance
    to get revenge, of course.
[19:43] ---
    If you had loved Naoko-*chan
    *enough to simply get the money ready,
[19:47] ---
    I had intended to let you live!
[19:54] ---
    What are you planning to do?!
[19:57] ---
    Have you die.
[20:06] ---
    Gasoline?!
[20:07] ---
    This is bad!
[20:12] ---
    Wait, I apologize!
    I'll pay as much as you want!
[20:15] ---
    Just don't do it!
[20:17] ---
    Take your money with you to Hell.
[20:21] ---
    Farewell.
[20:22] ---
    Don't do it!
[20:27] ---
    Conan-kun!
[20:29] ---
    There's no value in killing that man!
[20:31] ---
    There's no value in letting him live!
[20:33] ---
    It's my duty to rid the world of him!
[20:34] ---
    Do you want Naoko-san to
    think the same way about you?!
[20:39] ---
    That man is her only family!
[20:47] ---
    You should know more than anyone else
[20:50] ---
    the pain of having
    your entire family die!
[20:55] ---
    Even if you did get revenge, I don't
    think your brother would be happy.
[21:14] ---
    Conan-kun...
[21:20] ---
    Masahito...
[21:50] ---
    Just my imagination
[21:52] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea

[22:04] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm

[22:11] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[22:17] ---
    That's right...
[22:22] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes

[22:33] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious

[22:40] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh

[22:47] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me

[22:56] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[23:08] ---
    Takei Naoko was being held
    in the basement of the old factory.
[23:12] ---
    She was rescued safely.
[23:14] ---
    Apparently, she was
    somewhat aware of the situation
[23:17] ---
    when she was first confined.
[23:21] ---
    Naoko! You're safe!
[23:24] ---
    Akiko-san!
[23:28] ---
    Akiko-san!
[23:32] ---
    I'm so sorry I got you
    involved, Naoko-chan.
[23:40] ---
    Thank you!
[24:08] ---
    We still can't say anything for sure.
[24:10] ---
    If he really attacked for no reason as she says,
[24:13] ---
    then he'll probably
    have to be put to sleep.
[24:17] ---
    Please come back, Shinichi...
[24:22] ---
    You're the only one who can save John!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:28] ---
    John the Dog's Murder Case.
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Reflex action to a situation.
[24:52] ---
    Next episode is--John, dinnertime. Wait.
