[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 "MuneDoki" is the last one!
[00:10] ---
    The alibi's just too strong!
    Let your heart beat to the case!
[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
[01:47] ---
    The Alibi Testimony Murder Case.
[01:55] ---
    Wow! Look how fancy it is!
[01:57] ---
    Now I see why
    it's a five-star hotel!
[02:00] ---
    This is going to be great, Conan-kun!
[02:01] ---
    Yeah...
[02:03] ---
    You kids are way too spoiled...
[02:07] ---
    You're only here because the
    restaurant's on the way, got that!
[02:10] ---
    Yes, we know!
[02:13] ---
    Say, isn't that the lawyer
    who wants to hire you?
[02:18] ---
    Yep, that's him! Mr. Tatsumi!
[02:23] ---
    Your great detective work
    is highly admired,
[02:26] ---
    even within our judicial circles!
[02:29] ---
    No, my work doesn't begin
    to compare to yours...
[02:33] ---
    All of my groups
    know about you too! It's true!
[02:38] ---
    Having your office in this
    posh hotel is really impressive!
[02:45] ---
    Tricks like this are necessary
    when dealing with corporations.
[02:50] ---
    So he's a popular lawyer who advises
    a number of large corporations...
[03:00] ---
    Wow!
[03:04] ---
    What would you like to drink?
[03:07] ---
    I'll have coffee.
[03:09] ---
    These two don't need anything;
    I'll kick them out soon.
[03:12] ---
    There's no need to hurry.
[03:15] ---
    Take your time and relax.
[03:18] ---
    Hello? Room service, please.
[03:20] ---
    If there's no reason to hurry,
    then why's he so fixated on the time?
[03:25] ---
    Excuse me while I use the restroom.
[03:35] ---
    Sorry, but could someone
    answer that for me?
[03:44] ---
    It automatically records calls!
[03:46] ---
    Hello?
[03:48] ---
    Oh? You're not my husband...
[03:50] ---
    Um, who may I ask is calling?
[03:53] ---
    Who do you think?
    Mrs. Tatsumi, of course.
[03:58] ---
    Oops.
[04:00] ---
    What is that?
[04:02] ---
    Little boy?
[04:03] ---
    Could you put my husband on?
[04:04] ---
    Yes, just a minute--
[04:08] ---
    Mr. Lawyer, it's your wife...
[04:11] ---
    She never learns...
[04:14] ---
    It's me. I have guests right now.
[04:16] ---
    We can talk later.
[04:20] ---
    Sorry. Now, about my job.
[04:22] ---
    Before that... Ran, Conan.
[04:24] ---
    Right!
[04:26] ---
    Let's go, Conan-kun.
[04:28] ---
    There's a tea lounge in the lobby.
[04:31] ---
    Tell them my room number
    and order whatever you'd like.
[04:35] ---
    Thank you!
[04:38] ---
    I'd like you to investigate
    possible infidelity.
[04:42] ---
    Of my wife, Kazumi.
[04:50] ---
    It's almost been an hour...
[04:53] ---
    Here he comes.
[04:55] ---
    Dad!
[04:56] ---
    Oh, there you are.
[04:59] ---
    That took long. Is it a hard job?
[05:02] ---
    No, not exactly...
[05:03] ---
    Is something the matter?
[05:05] ---
    He just wouldn't stop babbling
    about how he'd like
[05:11] ---
    to trust his wife again,
    so it took longer than I expected.
[05:17] ---
    So he's investigating
    the wife's infidelity...
[05:20] ---
    Anyway, I took the case.
[05:22] ---
    So let's go eat at this
    restaurant of yours.
[05:24] ---
    Hurray!
[05:26] ---
    Which is what I'd like to say, but this
    is the underground parking garage!
[05:30] ---
    The restaurant is up there!
[05:32] ---
    Whoops...
[05:33] ---
    Were you even being
    serious about going?!
[05:38] ---
    Mr. Tatsumi...
[05:39] ---
    Conan! Let's go!
[05:40] ---
    Coming!
[05:48] ---
    I think I drank too much...
[05:53] ---
    A police car. I wonder what for?
[05:56] ---
    What a huge mansion!
[05:58] ---
    So this is Mr. Tatsumi's house...
[06:01] ---
    Lawyers must really make a lot...
[06:05] ---
    Inspector Megure.
    I brought Detective Mori.
[06:08] ---
    Oh! Thanks for coming, Mori-kun!
[06:11] ---
    What's the deal, Inspector?
[06:16] ---
    Well, come have a look.
[06:20] ---
    You two wait there.
[06:31] ---
    Isn't that's Mr. Tatsumi's wife?
[06:34] ---
    Yes. Kazumi-san. Twenty-seven years old.
[06:36] ---
    The cause of death was
    suffocation by strangulation.
[06:39] ---
    There's no question
    this was a murder.
[06:45] ---
    A staple!
[06:47] ---
    What's this doing here?
[06:48] ---
    Alright, you!
[06:51] ---
    What do you think you're doin'?!
[06:53] ---
    Now, now, Mori-kun.
[06:55] ---
    All three of your testimonies
    are needed this time.
[06:59] ---
    Testimonies?
[07:00] ---
    Yes, it's true that my wife
    and I didn't get along.
[07:04] ---
    That's why I hired Mori-*san
    *to check up on her...
[07:11] ---
    Inspector. What was
    the estimated time of death?
[07:14] ---
    We won't know the
    details until the autopsy,
[07:17] ---
    but judging from the state of rigor mortis,
    I'd say between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
[07:23] ---
    That's when we were--
[07:24] ---
    Yeah, that's when
    we were at the hotel.
[07:27] ---
    Now I get it.
[07:28] ---
    So they called us here
    to confirm his alibi...
[07:31] ---
    I parted with Mori-*san
    *and left the hotel.
[07:35] ---
    I finished researching my next case,
    and then when I came home, my wife was--
[07:40] ---
    --as you saw...
[07:42] ---
    Mori-kun. You're certain
    you were with Mr. Tatsumi
[07:47] ---
    between 2:00 and 3:00?
[07:48] ---
    Yes. I'm certain.
[07:50] ---
    He only disappeared
    from my sight once,
[07:55] ---
    and that was for only a minute.
[07:57] ---
    Oh yes, the phone rang then...
[08:01] ---
    Yeah! Conan-kun answered it!
[08:03] ---
    Yeah! They said,
    "I'm Mrs. Tatsumi, of course!"
[08:08] ---
    Which means she was
    still alive at that time?
[08:12] ---
    The tape of that conversation should
    still be in the phone at the hotel!
[08:16] ---
    Really?! May we borrow this tape?
[08:19] ---
    Of course. That's fine with me.
[08:22] ---
    At any rate,
    Tatsumi-sensei was with me
[08:25] ---
    between 2:00 and 3:00;
    his alibi is airtight.
[08:29] ---
    And besides, the hotel
    is 10 kilometers from his home.
[08:35] ---
    Lawyer's Wife Murdered
[08:40] ---
    "Lawyer's wife murdered.
[08:43] ---
    The focus of the investigation
    is on the victim's associate?"
[08:47] ---
    She was having an affair.
[08:50] ---
    Mr. Tatsumi's wife
    was killed by her other lover?!
[08:54] ---
    Judging from the scene
    of the crime, it wasn't a robbery.
[08:58] ---
    Our testimonies cleared
    Tatsumi-sensei of all suspicion.
[09:02] ---
    Which narrows it down.
[09:04] ---
    Damn it! I lost that case
    thanks to whoever killed her!
[09:09] ---
    That makes me mad!
[09:11] ---
    Something's not right.
[09:13] ---
    There are too many things
    about this case that bother me!
[09:16] ---
    Why was it necessary
    to put the body in the bathtub?
[09:22] ---
    What was that staple for?
[09:24] ---
    The way Mr. Tatsumi
    stalled the old man for an hour...
[09:29] ---
    Why was he so
    fixated on the time?
[09:32] ---
    Was it mere coincidence that he
    had someone else pick up the phone?
[09:36] ---
    What did he put in the car trunk?
[09:39] ---
    I guess all the questions
    start from the hotel!
[09:45] ---
    Was that Conan-kun?
[09:47] ---
    Conan-kun! Where are you going?
[09:49] ---
    I'll be back in time!
[09:54] ---
    This is Mr. Tatsumi's office.
[09:56] ---
    The guest elevator is down there.
[09:59] ---
    Similarly, the employee
    elevator is over there.
[10:02] ---
    The emergency exit is far, too.
[10:10] ---
    What's that?
[10:18] ---
    It's a laundry chute...
[10:34] ---
    The staple!
[10:36] ---
    That's it!
[10:41] ---
    As always,
[10:42] ---
    I've prepared the room next to my office,
    so please make yourselves at home.
[10:47] ---
    The room next to his office?
    As always?
[10:51] ---
    This is--
[10:53] ---
    Where is it coming from?!
[10:56] ---
    From here.
[11:04] ---
    So that's what this is...
[11:05] ---
    They have a music box instead
    of an alarm clock buzzer!
[11:09] ---
    Are you staying here, little boy?
[11:12] ---
    No, I'm exploring!
[11:14] ---
    Or are you getting into trouble?
[11:18] ---
    That reminds me--
[11:23] ---
    --the music box stopped
    during the phone call!
[11:26] ---
    What a rare alarm clock!
[11:28] ---
    Do any other rooms have one?
[11:30] ---
    Of course. All the rooms do.
[11:33] ---
    They each have a real
    music box hooked up to a timer.
[11:37] ---
    I've finally found it!
[11:40] ---
    Definitive proof
    that Mr. Tatsumi killed her!
[11:48] ---
    You're late!
[11:49] ---
    Look how late you are!
[11:51] ---
    You knew we were going
    somewhere! Where were you?!
[11:53] ---
    Where's the old man?
[11:56] ---
    He already left!
[12:07] ---
    You did this! You killed Kazumi!
[12:11] ---
    I'm with the police.
    What's going on here?
[12:14] ---
    Who are you?
[12:16] ---
    Hirose. I'm a design engineer.
[12:20] ---
    I'm the man you're looking for.
[12:22] ---
    I had an affair with Kazumi, the victim.
[12:25] ---
    What?!
[12:28] ---
    But I didn't kill her! Why would I?!
[12:32] ---
    She was about
    to divorce this guy
[12:35] ---
    and marry me!
[12:37] ---
    Oh, that's news to me.
[12:40] ---
    Don't play dumb!
[12:41] ---
    You knew!
[12:44] ---
    He knew?
[12:48] ---
    Assuming I had known,
    why would I kill her?
[12:53] ---
    As a lawyer, I've heard
    about scores of cases
[12:58] ---
    in which affairs led to murder.
[13:02] ---
    Why, you!
[13:03] ---
    And besides, I have an alibi.
[13:05] ---
    I couldn't possibly have killed her.
[13:09] ---
    Isn't that right, Mori-san?
[13:11] ---
    Yes, I can vouch for him.
[13:14] ---
    Hirose-kun, was it?
[13:16] ---
    So how about yourself?
[13:19] ---
    What's your alibi?
[13:22] ---
    Where were you between
    2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
[13:24] ---
    on the day she was killed?!
[13:26] ---
    I was--
[13:31] ---
    Where were you?
[13:35] ---
    I was tricked!
[13:37] ---
    Tricked?!
[13:39] ---
    I came here because
    of Kazumi's letter...
[13:42] ---
    Here.
[13:47] ---
    "I'll be waiting for you
    at home at 2:30.
[13:50] ---
    Signed, Kazumi."
[13:52] ---
    But she wasn't home.
[13:54] ---
    I rang the doorbell,
    but nobody answered, so I left!
[13:58] ---
    This is really hard to believe,
[14:00] ---
    since you were at the
    scene when it happened.
[14:03] ---
    Anyone can easily
    make something like this!
[14:07] ---
    You're a sore loser!
[14:09] ---
    It's clear that you're the killer!
[14:12] ---
    Inspector. Take him in.
[14:14] ---
    He ruined my case!
[14:17] ---
    Ruined?
[14:17] ---
    You got it all wrong!
[14:19] ---
    He always does!
[14:21] ---
    Hirose-san. I'd like you
    to come down to the station.
[14:25] ---
    Sorry, old man!
[14:32] ---
    Are you all right?
[14:34] ---
    I'm fine, thanks.
[14:36] ---
    No! It wasn't me!
[14:38] ---
    He's right.
[14:40] ---
    The real sore loser isn't
    Hirose-san-- it's you, Tatsumi-sensei!
[14:48] ---
    What do you mean, Mori-kun?
[14:50] ---
    Are you saying
    Mr. Tatsumi is the killer?
[14:52] ---
    Precisely.
[14:57] ---
    Really now, this is absurd.
[15:01] ---
    This will tarnish your name
    as a great detective, Mori-san!
[15:04] ---
    I could say the exact same
    thing to you, Mr. Tatsumi.
[15:10] ---
    It truly was an impressive
    trick of utilizing blind spots.
[15:15] ---
    You had me completely fooled.
[15:17] ---
    The place a body is found
    doesn't necessarily equate
[15:20] ---
    to the location of the murder.
[15:22] ---
    In other words, the murder
    didn't take place here at your home,
[15:26] ---
    but at the hotel!
[15:29] ---
    No way!
[15:30] ---
    What are you talking about?!
[15:33] ---
    Mori-kun!
[15:34] ---
    The voice on the tape
    of the phone call with Conan-kun
[15:38] ---
    was professionally analyzed
    and determined to be the victim's!
[15:43] ---
    Yes, of course it was her.
[15:46] ---
    Because she called from the room
    next to Tatsumi-sensei's office,
[15:50] ---
    which he had rented.
[15:53] ---
    Come again?!
[15:54] ---
    The room next door?!
[15:55] ---
    On that day, Tatsumi-sensei
[15:58] ---
    made his wife wait in the guest
    room that he always uses for clients.
[16:04] ---
    He then had her call the hotel
    at a predetermined time
[16:09] ---
    with a cell phone.
[16:11] ---
    He made someone else
    answer the unconnected call.
[16:16] ---
    Hello?
[16:17] ---
    Because nobody would ever suspect
    that the caller was in the very next room.
[16:24] ---
    Immediately after
    his business with me ended,
[16:27] ---
    he went next door
    and killed his wife.
[16:31] ---
    He put the body
    in a laundry basket
[16:35] ---
    and dropped it down
    a nearby laundry chute.
[16:41] ---
    That was the hotel
    employees' break time
[16:44] ---
    so there wasn't a soul to be
    found, was there, Tatsumi-sensei?
[16:50] ---
    However, the bag
    with the body was stapled.
[16:55] ---
    Stapled with a cleaning tag.
[16:59] ---
    That was the staple found in
    the bathroom, Inspector Megure.
[17:03] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[17:05] ---
    But why was the
    body in the bathtub?
[17:07] ---
    His plan probably
    started when he realized
[17:10] ---
    that the trunk and the bathtub
    are about the same size.
[17:16] ---
    The body would stiffen,
[17:18] ---
    so he couldn't
    just toss it in the house.
[17:22] ---
    Then he pointed the finger at Hirose-*san
    *who was lured here by the fake letter,
[17:28] ---
    and then he escaped suspicion
    by having me vouch for him.
[17:33] ---
    It really was quite impressive.
[17:37] ---
    You disappoint me.
    You're a lousy detective.
[17:40] ---
    Where is your proof
    that I killed her?
[17:45] ---
    No court of law could
    make me stand trial like this.
[17:50] ---
    He's right, Mori-kun!
[17:51] ---
    I do have proof.
[17:54] ---
    Inspector. There's something
    I'd like you to get right away.
[18:00] ---
    The tape of the phone call...
[18:03] ---
    Is that all you need, Mori-kun?
[18:05] ---
    The tape of my wife on the phone?
[18:08] ---
    What do you want with that?!
[18:09] ---
    Play it, if you would.
[18:12] ---
    Hello?
[18:13] ---
    Oh? You're not my husband...
[18:15] ---
    Um, who may I ask is calling?
[18:18] ---
    Who do you think?
    Mrs. Tatsumi, of course.
[18:22] ---
    What's this?!
[18:23] ---
    A music box?
[18:24] ---
    Shh! Quiet!
[18:26] ---
    Oops.
[18:30] ---
    Little boy?
[18:31] ---
    Could you put my husband on?
[18:33] ---
    Yes, just a minute--
[18:35] ---
    That's enough.
[18:38] ---
    Now do you see?
[18:40] ---
    That hotel uses this music box
    in place of alarm clock buzzers.
[18:46] ---
    In other words,
    your wife had set the alarm
[18:49] ---
    but forgot to turn it off
    when making the call.
[18:53] ---
    Sorry, but music boxes like
    this can be found anywhere.
[18:56] ---
    It doesn't prove a thing.
[18:58] ---
    Inspector.
[18:59] ---
    Any music boxes
    where the body was found?
[19:02] ---
    No, none at all.
[19:04] ---
    The killer could have run
    off with it for whatever reason.
[19:09] ---
    Unlikely.
[19:11] ---
    And why's that?
[19:13] ---
    Conan. The tape.
[19:15] ---
    Right!
[19:17] ---
    Here!
[19:18] ---
    This is a recording of the music box
    in the room next to Mr. Tatsumi's office!
[19:26] ---
    Give it a listen.
[19:36] ---
    That can't be!
[19:38] ---
    It's missing a note!
[19:40] ---
    That's right. The music box
    in the next room over
[19:44] ---
    is probably missing either
    a cylinder pin or a tooth!
[19:51] ---
    In other words, it's the only music
    box like it in the world, Tatsumi-sensei!
[19:58] ---
    Now then, let's hear the
    phone recording one more time.
[20:03] ---
    It would be a waste of time.
[20:08] ---
    To think a lawyer would be
    blackmailed by his own wife...
[20:12] ---
    Blackmailed? By your wife?
[20:15] ---
    She demanded 200 million.
[20:17] ---
    Two hundred million?!
[20:19] ---
    It took skill to get where I am today.
[20:24] ---
    But because of my position, I'm often
    privy to corporate secrets and the like.
[20:31] ---
    I never made any demands,
[20:33] ---
    but a lot of extra money
    was added to my counsel fees.
[20:36] ---
    Some of it was illegal,
    to be more precise.
[20:39] ---
    Kazumi found out about this.
[20:42] ---
    I'll keep quiet
    if you give me 200 million--
[20:44] ---
    a year's worth of this dirty money--
    in the form of divorce compensation.
[20:49] ---
    It's not that much when you
    consider you can keep your reputation.
[20:53] ---
    But then she got
    involved with that designer...
[20:58] ---
    I couldn't let her get away with it.
[21:00] ---
    "I'll do what you want,
    but on one condition.
[21:04] ---
    Call me at the specified time or
    else I won't pay the 200 million!"
[21:08] ---
    She agreed without a single question.
[21:12] ---
    She would get
    200 million and her man!
[21:14] ---
    It was only natural.
[21:16] ---
    But you shouldn't have made her call.
[21:19] ---
    You had the call
    recorded automatically,
[21:22] ---
    but you should've listened to it
    again before giving it to the police.
[21:25] ---
    Your trick to pull off the perfect crime
    actually wound up proving your guilt.
[21:31] ---
    I gambled with myself.
[21:35] ---
    No matter how good the lawyer,
    the moment of truth is always a gamble.
[21:40] ---
    Until now,
    I'd never once lost that bet.
[21:45] ---
    You may be a good lawyer,
    but you were a poor criminal.
[21:49] ---
    That's how it is, sir.
[23:38] ---
    Inspector!
[23:39] ---
    Good work, Mori-kun.
[23:42] ---
    Despite being tricked
    and taken advantage of.
[23:44] ---
    Hope to work with you again.
[23:46] ---
    Oh, uh, same here...
[23:48] ---
    Tricked? Who? By who?
[23:51] ---
    Oh, well!
[23:52] ---
    Gimme a break.
[23:54] ---
    Now his reputation keeps
    getting better and better...
[24:03] ---
    It was definitely
    Matsuo-san who did this!
[24:06] ---
    But how did he go from the
    studio and back in four minutes?!
[24:10] ---
    Aha! I've finally
    found the secret path!
[24:15] ---
    I wouldn't want
    the criminal to leave
[24:18] ---
    when the logic show's
    just about to begin...
[24:21] ---
    ...Takashi Matsuo-san!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    The TV Station Murder Case.
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Bloody window.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode, a new opening theme.
[24:54] ---
    Seriously? I'm so excited! So super good!
