[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 about John the dog!
[00:10] ---
    He's a shepherd dog known
    throughout the neighborhood!
[00:12] ---
    Dogs may not speak, but
    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] ---
    John the Dog's Murder Case.
[01:52] ---
    John!
[01:53] ---
    Hey, John!
[01:55] ---
    John!
[01:56] ---
    Come here, John!
[02:01] ---
    Here he comes!
[02:03] ---
    John's so cute!
[02:05] ---
    I wonder how old he is now?
[02:07] ---
    He was still just a
    puppy when I was a kid,
[02:10] ---
    so I'd say around 8 or so...
[02:12] ---
    What're you talking about, Conan?
[02:16] ---
    Never mind!
[02:18] ---
    That was close!
[02:21] ---
    John. I'm not high school
    student Kudo Shinichi anymore,
[02:25] ---
    I'm grade school student
    Conan Edogawa now.
[02:29] ---
    Oh, it's you!
[02:31] ---
    Hello!
[02:32] ---
    We're back!
[02:35] ---
    I don't mind at all!
[02:36] ---
    Come on in!
[02:38] ---
    OK!
[02:40] ---
    Several days later
[02:43] ---
    It's been so long since we ate out!
[02:46] ---
    That restaurant was pretty good!
[02:49] ---
    Hey, this is the place!
    The house where John the dog lives!
[02:53] ---
    I know this house!
[02:54] ---
    When we were in grade school,
[02:55] ---
    Shinichi used to stop by here
    on his way home from school.
[02:58] ---
    He would save some bread from
    lunch and then give it to the dog!
[03:02] ---
    Sakaguchi Masayoshi?
[03:05] ---
    I've heard that name somewhere before...
[03:07] ---
    He says he's a lawyer.
[03:09] ---
    Oh, that's right.
[03:11] ---
    He's a famous lawyer who
    specializes in cases involving minors.
[03:16] ---
    Hey, Dad.
[03:17] ---
    Wasn't this the house where that
    middle school student killed himself
[03:21] ---
    when I was in third grade?
[03:28] ---
    What was that?!
[03:33] ---
    Hey! What's going on?!
[03:37] ---
    What happened?!
[03:38] ---
    The dog!
[03:40] ---
    What happened to John?!
[03:41] ---
    He jumped at Takeshi!
[03:45] ---
    Conan-kun!
[03:53] ---
    Hey, you!
[03:55] ---
    You're in the way! Get out of here!
[04:03] ---
    John! It's me!
[04:13] ---
    That tickles, John!
[04:15] ---
    Hello? What's going on,
    Takeshi-kun?!
[04:18] ---
    Hello?!
[04:19] ---
    It's me, Conan!
[04:20] ---
    Eh? Conan-kun?!
[04:22] ---
    Where are you now?!
[04:24] ---
    I'm in Izu on business.
[04:26] ---
    I just heard Takeshi-*kun
    *scream-- what happened?!
[04:33] ---
    Come home right away!
    John's done something terrible!
[04:42] ---
    The victim was Maehara
    Takeshi, twenty-two years old.
[04:46] ---
    He's a college student who lives
    in the apartment complex next door,
[04:48] ---
    and Sakaguchi-san asked him to
    watch the place while he was gone?
[04:51] ---
    That's right...
[04:52] ---
    And Takeshi-san invited you,
    Sugita Sanae-san, over.
[04:58] ---
    Now then, could you give us the
    details about what exactly happened?
[05:03] ---
    Okay...
[05:04] ---
    It was around 8:00 when I came over.
[05:12] ---
    I've never been in
    such a huge living room!
[05:15] ---
    Aren't you glad you came?
[05:17] ---
    Super glad!
[05:20] ---
    Oh no!
[05:23] ---
    It was just getting fun!
[05:28] ---
    Sakaguchi residence.
[05:30] ---
    Oh, Sakaguchi-san.
[05:32] ---
    Yes, everything's fine.
[05:34] ---
    Eh? John?
[05:37] ---
    He's at the top of the stairs,
    behaving himself.
[05:40] ---
    Eh? You want to talk to John?
[05:43] ---
    Sure!
[05:44] ---
    John! Hey, John!
[05:48] ---
    Alright, whatever.
[06:06] ---
    Here, your master
    wants to talk to you.
[06:24] ---
    And then we showed up...
[06:26] ---
    But why would
    the dog suddenly attack?
[06:29] ---
    I don't know!
[06:30] ---
    I can only think that he attacked
    Takeshi for no reason at all!
[06:33] ---
    No way! John would never
    attack anyone for no reason!
[06:37] ---
    But Takeshi didn't do anything!
[06:40] ---
    What's going to happen
    to the dog, Inspector?
[06:43] ---
    I can't say anything for sure yet,
[06:45] ---
    but if he really attacked
    for no reason as she says,
[06:49] ---
    then he'll probably
    have to be put to sleep.
[06:51] ---
    Put to sleep?
    You're going to kill him?!
[06:55] ---
    At any rate, we first need
    to talk to Sakaguchi-san...
[07:06] ---
    "First year middle school
    student kills himself."
[07:08] ---
    "Was bullying the cause?"
[07:10] ---
    "...a classmate that
    bullied Masato-kun--"
[07:13] ---
    It doesn't give the bully's name!
[07:16] ---
    John's been well trained,
[07:18] ---
    and he'd never attack
    anyone for no reason at all.
[07:21] ---
    Wait a minute!
[07:23] ---
    John attacked the victim immediately
    after the phone was put to his ear.
[07:28] ---
    What if Sakaguchi-san ordered
    John to attack over the phone?!
[07:32] ---
    But Sakaguchi-san always seems
    so nice; he'd never do such a thing!
[07:40] ---
    Where's John, Inspector?!
[07:42] ---
    You didn't put him
    to sleep already, did you?!
[07:44] ---
    Don't worry!
[07:46] ---
    He's been taken to
    the police station for now;
[07:49] ---
    it hasn't been decided that
    he's to be put to sleep yet.
[07:52] ---
    So, Inspector.
    What did Sakaguchi-san say?
[07:56] ---
    He says he can't believe
    that John would attack anyone.
[07:59] ---
    Neither can I!
    There must be a reason why--
[08:02] ---
    You keep quiet!
[08:05] ---
    Please continue, Inspector.
[08:07] ---
    I asked Mr. Sakaguchi
    about his phone conversation...
[08:13] ---
    To start off, what exactly did
    you say to the victim over the phone?
[08:18] ---
    I asked him if everything
    was alright, how John was doing,
[08:22] ---
    and then I asked him
    to put John on the line.
[08:25] ---
    Why did you do that?
[08:27] ---
    I always say good night to him,
    so I thought I'd say it tonight too.
[08:31] ---
    So you told John good night?
[08:33] ---
    Before that, I think I asked,
    "How are you doing, John?"
[08:38] ---
    Then suddenly I heard
    John bark and Takeshi-kun scream...
[08:45] ---
    Sakaguchi-*san
    *didn't say anything else?
[08:48] ---
    There's no mistake about it.
[08:50] ---
    The girl who was
    there confirmed his story.
[08:53] ---
    You mentioned it last night,
    didn't you, Ran-neechan?
[08:56] ---
    That Sakaguchi-san's son
    committed suicide a long time ago.
[09:00] ---
    Oh. Yeah...
[09:02] ---
    I asked him about
    that at the station too.
[09:05] ---
    He said a bully drove him to do it...
[09:07] ---
    Maybe his son's bully
    was Maehara Takeshi-kun?!
[09:13] ---
    But it's still just a "maybe."
[09:16] ---
    I thought so.
[09:17] ---
    I heard this directly
    from Sakaguchi-san himself.
[09:21] ---
    His son Masato-*kun
    *and Maehara Takeshi-kun
[09:23] ---
    were classmates in middle school.
[09:26] ---
    Masato-kun apparently wrote
    about Takeshi-kun in his diary
[09:30] ---
    shortly before
    hanging himself in his room.
[09:32] ---
    I hear that Mr. Sakaguchi loathed
    Takeshi-kun after reading the diary.
[09:37] ---
    Since his wife had died early on,
    Masato-kun was all he had left.
[09:43] ---
    But when he saw Takeshi-*kun
    *crying and apologizing at the funeral,
[09:46] ---
    he decided to forgive him.
[09:49] ---
    Takeshi-kun was the only
    one who bullied Masato-kun?
[09:53] ---
    It would seem so.
[09:54] ---
    Shortly after, Takeshi-*kun
    *moved to western Japan
[09:57] ---
    because of his father's job.
[09:59] ---
    Then, two years ago, he moved
    back to attend a university in Tokyo.
[10:04] ---
    It was this spring that he
    moved into an apartment complex
[10:07] ---
    right next to the Sakaguchi residence.
[10:09] ---
    It truly was an act of fate.
[10:13] ---
    Apparently Mr. Sakaguchi was
    surprised by the unexpected reunion, too.
[10:17] ---
    But he no longer bore any
    ill feelings toward Takeshi-kun.
[10:20] ---
    I'm even told that he sometimes
    invited him over for dinner.
[10:25] ---
    But if he really does still
    have a grudge against Takeshi-kun...
[10:30] ---
    What are you trying to say?
[10:31] ---
    Mr. Sakaguchi secretly
    trained John to attack people
[10:36] ---
    when a specific phrase is said to him!
[10:38] ---
    And then last night, he said
    that phrase to John over the phone!
[10:43] ---
    How are you doing, John?
[10:53] ---
    In this way, Mr. Sakaguchi
    accomplished his revenge!
[10:57] ---
    Wrong.
[10:59] ---
    How come?
[11:00] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[11:02] ---
    When I questioned him last night,
[11:04] ---
    he repeated what he said on
    the phone, right in front of John.
[11:08] ---
    John didn't react one
    bit when he heard him.
[11:12] ---
    Gah! I thought
    I sounded so authoritative too!
[11:16] ---
    Don't feel so down
    in the dumps, Mori-kun!
[11:32] ---
    Masato...
[11:39] ---
    Thanks for coming, Conan-kun!
[11:40] ---
    I thought you might be lonely
    without John to keep you company!
[11:45] ---
    Thanks!
[11:46] ---
    Say, does John always
    sleep at the top of the stairs?
[11:52] ---
    Yeah, he does.
[11:53] ---
    Why doesn't he sleep downstairs?
[11:55] ---
    See that door there?
[11:57] ---
    Yeah.
[11:58] ---
    That was my son's room.
[12:01] ---
    He absolutely loved John.
[12:05] ---
    But his late mother said he
    couldn't let the dog in his room,
[12:09] ---
    so John always
    slept in front of his door.
[12:13] ---
    John's still waiting for him to open
    the door and say good morning to him!
[12:19] ---
    Even though it's been
    eight years since my son died...
[12:26] ---
    That's a big phone over there.
[12:29] ---
    The receiver's
    connected to it by a cord...
[12:31] ---
    Say, wasn't there a
    cordless phone there last night?
[12:37] ---
    Yes. I sometimes switch
    it with the phone in my study.
[12:40] ---
    Why do you ask?
[12:42] ---
    No reason!
[12:45] ---
    This guy really did--
[12:53] ---
    Wait a minute!
[12:54] ---
    The clock must've struck
    9:00 just before it happened!
[12:59] ---
    That's it!
[13:01] ---
    Now I see how Sakaguchi-*san
    *ordered John to attack!
[13:10] ---
    The phone was different?
[13:11] ---
    Yeah.
[13:12] ---
    The receiver on the big
    phone is connected by a cord.
[13:15] ---
    But last night he had a
    cordless phone there, he said.
[13:18] ---
    I wonder why?
[13:20] ---
    Why? There's
    probably no real reason--
[13:23] ---
    No, there is a reason.
[13:25] ---
    Sakaguchi-san absolutely
    needed it to be a cordless phone!
[13:30] ---
    What do you mean?
[13:31] ---
    Listen. It would be impossible to
    carry a regular phone up a staircase!
[13:37] ---
    So Sakaguchi-san purposely
    placed a portable cordless phone
[13:41] ---
    in the living room!
[13:43] ---
    So you still think that Sakaguchi-*san
    *used John to commit a murder?
[13:48] ---
    I'm absolutely certain of it now!
[13:51] ---
    But I don't know the most important thing--
    how he ordered the attack!
[13:54] ---
    Hey, our clock doesn't chime, does it?
[13:58] ---
    The clock in Sakaguchi-san's
    living room chimes real loud every hour.
[14:04] ---
    His clock?!
[14:06] ---
    Come to think of it,
[14:07] ---
    it was precisely 9:00 when
    John attacked Takeshi-kun!
[14:09] ---
    I've figured it out!
[14:11] ---
    The great detective, Mori Kogoro,
    has just solved the mystery!
[14:18] ---
    Beika Police Station
[14:26] ---
    What in the world are you going to do?!
[14:28] ---
    Just a little test.
[14:32] ---
    When I give the word,
[14:34] ---
    repeat what you said to
    John last night on the phone!
[14:37] ---
    Okay...
[15:06] ---
    Okay, Sakaguchi-san!
[15:07] ---
    Right.
[15:09] ---
    How are you doing, John?
[15:14] ---
    Louder!
[15:16] ---
    How are you doing, John?!
[15:21] ---
    This can't be!
[15:24] ---
    Were my deductions all wrong?!
[15:29] ---
    I was so certain of it!
[15:33] ---
    You overanalyzed things, Dad.
[15:36] ---
    He would never use the dog
    that his son loved to get revenge...
[15:39] ---
    I can't say anything for certain,
[15:42] ---
    but what we found out
    from our investigation afterward
[15:44] ---
    was that Sakaguchi-san supposedly
    took John somewhere in his car
[15:48] ---
    every Sunday for the last three months.
[15:52] ---
    According to him, he took
    John to the outskirts of town
[15:54] ---
    and let him get a lot of
    exercise in the empty fields.
[15:57] ---
    Inspector! He obviously
    trained John during those times!
[16:02] ---
    But there's no proof.
[16:05] ---
    And I'm sorry to have to say this,
[16:08] ---
    but it's been decided that John
    is to be put to sleep tomorrow evening.
[16:12] ---
    What?!
[16:13] ---
    Orders from above.
[16:15] ---
    Mr. Sakaguchi understands as well.
[16:24] ---
    Shinichi...
[16:26] ---
    Where are you?!
[16:29] ---
    John, the dog you liked so much,
[16:30] ---
    is going to be killed
    if we don't do something!
[16:34] ---
    Please come back, Shinichi!
[16:38] ---
    You're the only one who can save John!
[16:48] ---
    So they're going
    to kill John this evening?!
[16:51] ---
    That's horrible!
[16:53] ---
    Can't we do something?!
[16:55] ---
    I was up all night
    thinking about it too, you know!
[16:58] ---
    But...
[17:02] ---
    Alright! Next!
[17:03] ---
    On your mark!
[17:07] ---
    Get set!
[17:13] ---
    That's it!
[17:15] ---
    I've finally figured it out!
[17:18] ---
    What do you think he figured out?
[17:20] ---
    No idea...
[17:20] ---
    No idea...
[17:26] ---
    What now?!
[17:28] ---
    I'd like to have another test.
[17:42] ---
    On your mark...
[17:46] ---
    Hello?
[18:06] ---
    Get set!
[18:11] ---
    Now say the words, if you would!
[18:26] ---
    You got me!
[18:29] ---
    So you admit you trained
    John to attack Maehara Takeshi-kun?!
[18:35] ---
    He didn't remember anything!
[18:39] ---
    He didn't remember me, or Masato!
[18:42] ---
    Yes!
[18:42] ---
    He had completely forgotten about
    the very person he drove to suicide!
[18:48] ---
    And then he unwittingly moved
    into the apartment complex next to you...
[18:51] ---
    I'm a lawyer who specializes
    in crimes committed by minors!
[18:55] ---
    I took this job so that I could
    help young people who lost their way!
[18:59] ---
    So when I saw him crying and
    apologizing at the funeral eight years ago,
[19:04] ---
    I decided to forgive him!
[19:05] ---
    He was still just a
    1st-year middle school student,
[19:08] ---
    and I felt that Masato's
    death wouldn't be in vain
[19:11] ---
    if he truly regretted it
    with all his heart!
[19:14] ---
    But when I met him
    again eight years later,
[19:18] ---
    he didn't remember a
    single thing about the incident!
[19:21] ---
    Not only that, he was no
    different than he was eight years ago!
[19:25] ---
    Give me my wallet back!
[19:27] ---
    I'm just borrowing it!
[19:32] ---
    Stop worrying! I'll pay you back
    one of these days, when I feel like it!
[19:37] ---
    Who knows when that'll be, though...
[19:41] ---
    When I saw that,
    I could feel my blood boil!
[19:47] ---
    What was Masato's death for?!
[19:50] ---
    Why did I ever forgive him?!
[19:54] ---
    So then you used John--
[19:56] ---
    That's right!
[19:57] ---
    I decided that if the
    law couldn't deal with him,
[19:59] ---
    then I would take
    justice into my own hands!
[20:01] ---
    And I'm sure that John was happy
    that he avenged Masato too!
[20:05] ---
    That's horrible!
[20:06] ---
    You weren't the only one who
    was sad when Masato-kun died!
[20:10] ---
    Do you have any idea how sad John was?!
[20:12] ---
    You said so yourself!
[20:14] ---
    Even now, John still waits
    for Masato-kun in front of his door!
[20:19] ---
    Do you honestly think that
    Masato-kun would be happy
[20:22] ---
    that you used his
    loyal dog to kill someone?!
[20:26] ---
    Sakaguchi-san.
    Bullying is definitely wrong.
[20:31] ---
    And I actually do understand your
    ill will toward Maehara Takeshi-kun.
[20:35] ---
    But did you ever once think
    about the feelings of the dog
[20:38] ---
    you stupidly used as a
    murder tool to get revenge?
[20:45] ---
    John's feelings?
[20:48] ---
    Here you go, John.
[20:55] ---
    Oh, John!
[20:58] ---
    Sakaguchi-san.
[21:00] ---
    John is saying that he still
    cares for you, even now.
[21:03] ---
    Please try to understand that feeling.
[21:07] ---
    John!
[21:08] ---
    Forgive me, John!
[21:13] ---
    John!
[21:35] ---
    Just my imagination
[21:38] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea
[21:49] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm
[21:57] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[22:03] ---
    That's right...
[22:08] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes
[22:19] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious
[22:26] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh
[22:33] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me
[22:42] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[22:53] ---
    So they didn't kill John?!
[22:55] ---
    That's right!
[22:56] ---
    He was taken in by one of
    Sakaguchi-san's relatives!
[22:59] ---
    That's great!
[23:00] ---
    And it's all thanks to
    Mori Kogoro, the great detective!
[23:07] ---
    But John doesn't live
    at that house anymore, huh?
[23:11] ---
    That's too bad.
    We really liked him a lot...
[23:15] ---
    You can always make
    friends with another dog!
[23:19] ---
    See? Look at that one!
[23:20] ---
    It looks just like John!
[23:21] ---
    It does! Let's go!
[23:23] ---
    Yeah!
[23:29] ---
    You appear to have
    quite an exceptional dog, Miss.
[23:33] ---
    Actually, I'm a dog-lover myself...
[23:36] ---
    What do you say we talk about
    dogs at that coffee shop over there?!
[23:40] ---
    No, thanks...
[23:42] ---
    Don't say that!
[23:43] ---
    Come on!
[23:49] ---
    Sic 'im, boy!
[23:50] ---
    Go get him!
[23:53] ---
    Go start a relationship
    with a dog instead.
[24:02] ---
    You two took a bath together?!
[24:05] ---
    Yeah!
[24:07] ---
    That sure was fun,
[24:09] ---
    scrubbing each other's back!
[24:12] ---
    A nosebleed?
[24:13] ---
    The bath must've rushed the blood to your head.
[24:16] ---
    I'm dead if she finds out
    who I really am!
[24:18] ---
    No question about it!
[24:20] ---
    When you commit suicide,
[24:22] ---
    you raise the gun like this and--
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    Kogoro's Reunion Murder Case (Part 1).
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    A gun.
[24:51] ---
    Can you identify next episode's culprit in part one?
