Difficult cases increase
in number as time progresses.
[00:03] ---
High school student Shinichi
took a drug that shrunk him
[00:06] ---
and became Conan Edogawa!
[00:07] ---
Today's stage is a TV station!
Be wary of live broadcasts!
[00:11] ---
He looks like a kid
but has the mind of an adult!
[00:13] ---
His name? Detective Conan!

[01:58] ---
One moment, please.
[02:00] ---
Hey, Suwa-chan!
[02:02] ---
Call on Line 4
from Matsuo Takashi-san.
[02:07] ---
What do want?
I already told you no.
[02:10] ---
The announcement's
gonna be next week.
[02:12] ---
No, I have this idea
for a show I want you to hear...
[02:17] ---
I was hoping we could meet alone
[02:18] ---
in the usual room when
tomorrow's live show is over.
[02:21] ---
It'd really help me if you could
drive people away right after it's done.
[02:25] ---
Ugh. All right.
[02:28] ---
This is the last time.
[02:34] ---
Detective Station
[02:34] ---
You're right, Suwa-chan.
[02:37] ---
This really will be--
[02:40] ---
--the last time!
[02:52] ---
Welcome to this week's edition of
"Japanese See-All Detective Station"!
[02:56] ---
I'm your host, Matsuo Takashi,
[02:59] ---
and I'm his assistant, Nagai Ayako!
[03:03] ---
Our staff sorts through
all your rare and difficult cases
[03:07] ---
for us to solve on air!
[03:09] ---
Today, we welcome
a very reassuring guest:
[03:13] ---
the great detective,
Mori Kogoro-san!
[03:17] ---
Thank you! Thank you!
[03:19] ---
Tell us, what was the most difficult
case that you've ever worked on?
[03:25] ---
Actually, whenever I'm done solving a case
I'm always overcome with drowsiness...
[03:31] ---
...so I never remember a thing!
[03:34] ---
Dad's such a clown!
[03:37] ---
Naturally.
He really does go to sleep.
[03:40] ---
Alright! Commercial!
[03:43] ---
Ow...
[03:45] ---
Is something wrong?
[03:47] ---
My stomach's been hurting
since this morning...
[03:50] ---
Say. Could you tell me
where Suwa-chan is?
[03:54] ---
Of course!
[03:55] ---
Yeah, I'm in the
4th-floor meeting room.
[03:58] ---
Don't worry.
[04:00] ---
I'm checking the show out
on the monitor.
[04:02] ---
Oh, and tell Matsuo-*kun
*something for me.
[04:05] ---
Tell him to come here
right after the show.
[04:08] ---
I used to be a police detective,
but I'm not very good with guns...
[04:12] ---
Aren't guns your specialty,
Matsuo-san?
[04:15] ---
Didn't you train overseas
and become a pro?
[04:18] ---
No, I'm not that good...
[04:20] ---
...I'm great!
[04:23] ---
His character is funny
and he draws in steady numbers,
[04:26] ---
but only so much.
[04:29] ---
If I switched the host
to the prettiest newscaster
[04:32] ---
and included lots of naughty segments,
the ratings would double! No, triple!
[04:37] ---
I'd eventually be promoted--
[04:39] ---
--to department head!
[04:42] ---
Eavesdropping is a hot topic lately!
[04:44] ---
It's not strange for bugs
to be planted anytime, anywhere.
[04:48] ---
That's why I switched to a cell phone!
[04:51] ---
That shows what you know.
[04:55] ---
Analog cell phones
transmit electronic signals,
[04:59] ---
so you don't even need bugs
to listen in on conversations!
[05:03] ---
Wow, he actually knows something!
[05:05] ---
Therefore--
[05:09] ---
Oh, Izumi-chan!
It's me, Kogoro-chan!
[05:14] ---
Would you like to have dinner tonight?!
[05:17] ---
My wife?
[05:18] ---
It's alright!
We don't live together!
[05:20] ---
Let's have a passionate
night tonight!
[05:24] ---
--such dangerous conversations
can be easily listened to.
[05:27] ---
Attention, all adulterers!
[05:31] ---
Make sure you don't
let your guard down!
[05:34] ---
Now for the next segment
of our show, "You Did It!"
[05:38] ---
We're going to play
a four-minute video clip,
[05:41] ---
and it's up to you
to determine the culprit!
[05:44] ---
My name is Kirishima Joji.
I'm a private eye.
[05:48] ---
I can't believe he spent money
on this lousy clip...
[05:57] ---
Yeah?
[05:58] ---
It's me, Suwa-chan.
[05:59] ---
Matsuo-kun?! What're you doing?!
[06:01] ---
The show's still on!
[06:03] ---
I wanted you to hear my last words!
[06:05] ---
Last? What do you mean?
[06:07] ---
I'm going to die.
I'm going to jump off the roof!
[06:11] ---
What?!
[06:13] ---
Have a good look at my death!
[06:15] ---
O-Okay! I'll do something
about your host job!
[06:18] ---
Just don't be rash!
[06:20] ---
It's too late.
[06:24] ---
So, do you know who did it?
[06:28] ---
This drama is excellent, as always!
[06:31] ---
Do you think them up each time?
[06:34] ---
Yeah...
[06:37] ---
Why are you sweating?
[06:39] ---
It's my stomach today...
[06:42] ---
The clip's about to end!
[06:44] ---
I wonder who did it?!
[06:46] ---
The victim's sister.
[06:49] ---
So who did it?
[06:52] ---
The victim's sister!
[06:54] ---
Really?!
[06:56] ---
Did you know, Conan-kun?
[06:58] ---
I had no idea who it was!
[07:00] ---
See you again next week!
[07:09] ---
Your frankness
really saved the day!
[07:12] ---
Matsuo-san! Suwa-*chan
*seems to have disappeared!
[07:16] ---
He isn't answering the meeting
room phone or his cell phone!
[07:20] ---
What's gotten into him?
Go and see if he's there.
[07:23] ---
Yeah.
[07:24] ---
Eh? Why the meeting room
and not somewhere else?
[07:31] ---
Suwa-san! Are you in there?!
[07:33] ---
Suwa-sa--
[07:35] ---
What?! He's covered in blood?!
[07:38] ---
Alright! I'll be there right away!
[07:45] ---
The elevator's in use!
Let's take the stairs!
[07:54] ---
These stairs end at the 7th floor!
[07:56] ---
This way! Hurry!
[07:58] ---
It's like a maze!
[08:04] ---
Move, please!
[08:16] ---
It was him!
[08:21] ---
The victim is this TV station's producer,
Mr. Suwa Michihiko, 37 years old.
[08:27] ---
The murder weapon was a handgun.
[08:29] ---
The bullet pierced his head,
shattered the glass,
[08:32] ---
and exited outside...
[08:33] ---
Inspector. There are other
bullet holes in the wall.
[08:36] ---
Two behind this poster,
[08:39] ---
and one by the clock.
[08:41] ---
Inspector.
I found shells in the corner.
[08:44] ---
Four in all.
[08:46] ---
That matches the number
of bullet holes.
[08:48] ---
And there's only one way
in and out of here.
[08:51] ---
Which means it's simple.
[08:54] ---
The killer most likely
barged in through the entrance
[08:58] ---
drove the victim to the window,
[09:00] ---
then shot wildly
and killed Suwa-san.
[09:03] ---
The killer tossed the gun
by his feet and escaped.
[09:08] ---
Has anybody seen someone
who might be the killer?
[09:11] ---
Suwa-san drove
everyone out, so...
[09:14] ---
He drove everyone out?
[09:16] ---
He was waiting for me.
[09:18] ---
He said he had something important
to discuss after the show.
[09:23] ---
No eyewitnesses, huh...
[09:24] ---
But someone might've heard!
[09:28] ---
See! It looks like
he was on his cell phone!
[09:31] ---
If so, then the other person
might've heard something!
[09:34] ---
Right, old man?
[09:36] ---
Yeah...
[09:37] ---
You're right...
[09:39] ---
Okay! Figure out who he knows
and who he talked to!
[09:43] ---
Yes, sir!
[09:46] ---
Matsuo-san!
[09:48] ---
Matsuo-san! What are your
thoughts on this?!
[09:50] ---
Rumor has it you were
going to be replaced as host!
[09:53] ---
Could one of your fans
have done this--
[09:55] ---
Stop it!
[09:58] ---
Yes, there was talk
of me being replaced.
[10:01] ---
But Suwa-san said he wanted me
to remain the host!
[10:07] ---
But I will say this now!
[10:09] ---
I will carry on Suwa-san's
wishes and continue hosting!
[10:12] ---
And I'll put this case on the show
and work my hardest to find the killer!
[10:17] ---
I won't stop until I find the
monster that killed Suwa-san!
[10:21] ---
Oh? You called Suwa-san?
[10:24] ---
Yes. He picked up
when I called at 8:15,
[10:28] ---
but there was no answer
when I called at 8:55.
[10:31] ---
So the murder took place
within that 40-minute period...
[10:35] ---
But why did you call him?
[10:37] ---
I asked him to find out
where Suwa-san was.
[10:42] ---
I was on the air and I didn't
know his cell phone number...
[10:46] ---
That reminds me, I hear you're
well-trained with handguns...
[10:51] ---
You think I did it?!
[10:54] ---
I was hosting a live
TV show from 8:00 to 9:00!
[10:58] ---
So you had no chance to slip out...
[11:01] ---
No, there was a 4-minute
video clip during the show.
[11:05] ---
During those four minutes--
[11:07] ---
Yes, I did leave the studio,
but I went to the restroom!
[11:10] ---
Are you sure you didn't take a gun
and come into this room instead?!
[11:16] ---
Come on, now!
If you think I'm lying,
[11:20] ---
then try running from the studio
to this 4th-floor room and back!
[11:25] ---
It would take at least six minutes!
[11:29] ---
I mean, I think it would...
[11:33] ---
Alright, Mori-kun. Give it a run.
[11:36] ---
Me?!
[11:39] ---
Why do I have to do this?!
[11:48] ---
Six minutes,
forty-seven seconds.
[11:50] ---
Can't you run
any faster than that?
[11:52] ---
No! My heart's about to explode!
[11:56] ---
Inspector!
[11:57] ---
We checked the security tapes but
we didn't see Matsuo-san on them.
[12:02] ---
It would seem my
innocence is clear now.
[12:06] ---
No! Matsuo-san is the killer!
[12:09] ---
But how did he go to that room
and back in four minutes?
[12:14] ---
Ran-neechan!
[12:16] ---
Where did you go?
I was looking all over for you!
[12:18] ---
I was with the old man
the whole time.
[12:21] ---
Where did you go?
[12:23] ---
Don't tell me you got lost...
[12:26] ---
I guess you could say that.
[12:30] ---
It's like a maze in here...
[12:33] ---
TV stations are built all complex-like
to prevent guerrilla takeovers.
[12:38] ---
You certainly know a lot...
[12:40] ---
A TV station person
told me earlier!
[12:44] ---
Yes, it is a maze!
[12:47] ---
But there has to be
a shortcut hidden within it!
[12:52] ---
A secret path that takes you from
the studio to that room and back
[12:55] ---
in under four minutes!
[12:58] ---
Oh? There aren't any
downward stairs here!
[13:02] ---
Only the stairs
from the 9th to the 7th floor
[13:04] ---
can be used to avoid
the security cameras.
[13:08] ---
It would be possible to make it
here and back in two minutes...
[13:13] ---
A storage room...
[13:18] ---
Wait, Conan-kun!
[13:25] ---
This window's right above that
room!
[13:28] ---
That's it! Rope!
[13:30] ---
If you used rope to rappel down!
[13:32] ---
No. If the killer
entered through the window,
[13:36] ---
the victim would have been
driven to the door.
[13:39] ---
But the victim was driven
to the window.
[13:43] ---
Huh?
[13:44] ---
That blood splatter...
[13:46] ---
It stops at the window's edge!
[13:49] ---
And there's no blood
on the window frame!
[13:52] ---
Have you still not found
who the victim was talking to?!
[13:56] ---
No, sir...
[13:57] ---
What?! It's been an hour
since the incident!
[14:01] ---
Which means there's only
one possibility I can think of...
[14:04] ---
The person on the
phone was the killer!
[14:06] ---
But why would the culprit call the person
he was looking at and about to kill?!
[14:12] ---
What if--
[14:14] ---
Conan-kun!
[14:24] ---
Here it is!
[14:26] ---
The fact that this is here
means there's no doubt about it!
[14:32] ---
That's where the secret path is!
[14:39] ---
But I still have no proof!
[14:43] ---
Clear proof that
Matsuo-san was the killer!
[14:48] ---
Whoops, I left my cell phone on...
[14:51] ---
Hello? Oh, hi.
[14:54] ---
Aha! There's the definitive proof
[14:58] ---
that you're the killer!
[15:00] ---
[15:04] ---
Come on, hurry up!
[15:06] ---
Who's in there?!
[15:09] ---
Your favorite idol, Okino--
[15:12] ---
Yoko-chan?!
[15:16] ---
Hey, now.
Is Yoko-chan really in here?
[15:26] ---
Alright! Now to--
[15:30] ---
I don't know what to say!
[15:33] ---
These things don't do the job!
[15:35] ---
Mister!
[15:36] ---
Could I borrow that
paint gun and TV camera?
[15:39] ---
Eh? What for, little boy?
[15:42] ---
The live broadcast of "Mori Kogoro's
Real-Life Detective Show!"
[15:47] ---
Excuse me, Inspector.
[15:49] ---
Might I be allowed to leave?
[15:52] ---
Yeah... You can go for today--
[15:54] ---
Not so fast, Matsuo-san!
[15:56] ---
I must ask you to remain there.
[15:59] ---
Mori-kun?!
[16:00] ---
I wouldn't want
the criminal to leave
[16:04] ---
when the detective show's
just about to begin...
[16:06] ---
And that criminal is you,
Matsuo-san!
[16:10] ---
How can that be, Mori-kun?!
[16:12] ---
Inspector!
[16:14] ---
Detective Mori asked
for an AV feed from in here...
[16:17] ---
Eh?! Just a second!
[16:19] ---
I'm a bit fat!
[16:22] ---
There! All set!
[16:23] ---
Think carefully, Mori-kun!
[16:26] ---
The culprit fired wildly in this 4th-floor
room and killed the victim!
[16:31] ---
But Matsuo-san was hosting
a live television show
[16:33] ---
in the 9th-floor studio
at the time of the murder!
[16:37] ---
How could he possibly
have done it?!
[16:41] ---
It is indeed impossible.
[16:43] ---
But it would become possible
if he used the window
[16:47] ---
in this 7th-floor storeroom
that's three floors above you.
[16:52] ---
Yes. It is possible to go from the studio
and back in under two minutes!
[16:56] ---
By using this room!
[16:58] ---
What?!
[17:00] ---
Camera! You're too close
to the Inspector!
[17:03] ---
I wonder if they'll get mad that we're
using equipment without permission...
[17:06] ---
It's just an internal broadcast.
They'll never find out.
[17:09] ---
Alright, now!
[17:10] ---
Sir!
[17:11] ---
Sorry! We'll stop them right away!
[17:13] ---
Who said to stop?!
[17:17] ---
I'll take full responsibility!
[17:18] ---
Broadcast this to the
whole country right now!
[17:21] ---
Allow me to shed
some light on the subject!
[17:24] ---
Hey, Conan!
[17:25] ---
Leave it to me!
[17:26] ---
Conan-kun!
[17:30] ---
Matsuo-san most likely stuck
himself out this window,
[17:33] ---
aimed down three floors
to the room in question--
[17:37] ---
The victim was shot
in the head here.
[17:40] ---
And the window
was practically closed,
[17:42] ---
so unless he flew,
it wouldn't be possible to--
[17:47] ---
I'm gonna fall!
[17:47] ---
Hey, Mori! What are you doing?!
[17:49] ---
Hurry and save him!
[17:55] ---
After Matsuo-san shot him like so,
[17:58] ---
he dropped the gun into the room.
[18:06] ---
But Mori-kun.
[18:07] ---
How did the killer get the victim
to look upwards from the window?
[18:11] ---
The cell phone.
[18:13] ---
The person who called the victim
right before he was shot
[18:17] ---
was the killer!
[18:19] ---
The caller probably said he was
going to jump off and commit suicide!
[18:23] ---
Troubled by this, the victim
quickly opened the window.
[18:26] ---
Oh? Does that
expression mean I'm right?
[18:30] ---
Then what about the bullet
holes and shells in the room?
[18:33] ---
Matsuo-san prepared them
in advance, of course.
[18:37] ---
If you want proof
he shot from above,
[18:39] ---
there's a bullet hole on the
ground beneath the window.
[18:42] ---
Confirm this at once!
[18:43] ---
Yes, sir!
[18:45] ---
Matsuo-san.
[18:46] ---
You left the studio
just as the video clip began
[18:50] ---
and came to this
7th-floor storage room.
[18:52] ---
After using said trick to kill Suwa-*san
*in the room three floors below,
[18:58] ---
you returned to the studio
before the video clip ended.
[19:02] ---
Am I right?
[19:05] ---
Do you have definitive proof
that I used this trick of yours?
[19:11] ---
Matsuo-san.
[19:12] ---
You've made one little oversight.
[19:15] ---
In your haste,
you most likely forgot to turn it off.
[19:20] ---
Yes. Your cell
phone is the proof!
[19:23] ---
I assume you know that the redial
button works if you don't turn it off!
[19:30] ---
Inspector. Give it a try.
[19:39] ---
It called Suwa-san's phone!
[19:41] ---
Matsuo-san.
[19:42] ---
I thought you said you didn't
know Suwa-san's number?
[19:47] ---
I put this phone on my desk
before the show!
[19:53] ---
Somebody must have used it then!
[19:55] ---
I'm afraid not.
[19:56] ---
I used that phone
during the show.
[19:59] ---
Assuming you hadn't called
anybody else afterwards,
[20:03] ---
it would've connected
with the bar I called.
[20:05] ---
Who else but yourself
could possibly use the phone
[20:10] ---
you put in your jacket
after I used it?!
[20:13] ---
Matsuo-san!
[20:18] ---
I failed.
[20:21] ---
I guess having you as today's
guest was a mistake, Mori-san.
[20:25] ---
Matsuo-san!
So you really did kill him?!
[20:29] ---
Yeah.
[20:30] ---
I didn't want to give up my role as the
host of the show we thought up together.
[20:36] ---
Suwa-san said
he thought it up himself...
[20:40] ---
That was the agreement.
[20:43] ---
He got credit for coming up
with the show's idea,
[20:46] ---
and I got to be the host.
[20:49] ---
But then he suddenly
told me to step down!
[20:53] ---
That was the last straw.
[20:59] ---
Looking back,
before the program began,
[21:03] ---
I had the most fun when we were
planning it out together.
[21:08] ---
It's like they say--
getting ready for the festival
[21:12] ---
is more fun than
the festival itself.
[21:17] ---
I guess it's too late
for that now...
[23:02] ---
A camera?
[23:03] ---
Well done, Mori-kun!
[23:08] ---
Way to go, Dad!
[23:09] ---
You truly are a great detective!
[23:11] ---
What are you talking about?
[23:13] ---
Yeah! That was brilliant reasoning!
[23:16] ---
I'll just be going now...
[23:18] ---
Not so fast!
[23:21] ---
Alright, kid, what's going on?
[23:23] ---
Yoko-chan isn't in here!
[23:24] ---
