[00:01] ---
    As times change, difficult
    cases increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Today's case is a manhunt!
[00:06] ---
    Don't put out the flames of love!
[00:08] ---
    He sees the truth
    in people's hearts,
[00:10] ---
    and looks like a kid
    but has the mind of an adult!
[00:13] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:46] ---
    The Cactus Flower Murder Case.
[01:59] ---
    My name is Okaya Noriko.
[02:02] ---
    I was hoping you
    could find the address
[02:06] ---
    of a man named
    Kitagawa Tsuyoshi-san.
[02:09] ---
    Pardon my asking,
    but how are you two related?
[02:13] ---
    I met him in early June,
    during a trip to Shinshu...
[02:21] ---
    I didn't think much
    of him at the time,
[02:25] ---
    but lately I've
    wanted to see him again.
[02:30] ---
    Oh, I get it!
    You've fallen in love with him!
[02:37] ---
    Yes... Well...
[02:40] ---
    That's so sweet!
[02:42] ---
    Just a simple search.
    No need for me here.
[02:47] ---
    Here's some tea!
[02:48] ---
    Thank you.
[02:50] ---
    Why's she so nervous?
[02:52] ---
    Do you have any clues or leads?
[02:56] ---
    Yes. His license plate number
[02:59] ---
    and a quick sketch of him.
[03:02] ---
    Oh! He's quite
    the unique individual!
[03:07] ---
    Alright, just leave it to me.
[03:09] ---
    This sketch...
[03:12] ---
    Thank you for your help.
[03:19] ---
    This'll be a cinch! I can
    use his license plate number
[03:23] ---
    to get his address from
    the transportation office!
[03:27] ---
    Are you sure she really likes him?
[03:32] ---
    What're you trying to say?
[03:34] ---
    They say that when
    you draw someone's picture,
[03:37] ---
    your feelings for
    that person go into it.
[03:41] ---
    Her drawing doesn't look very--
[03:44] ---
    Enough of your lip!
[03:46] ---
    Go do your homework
    and mind your own business!
[03:50] ---
    I'll be back.
[03:51] ---
    See you later!
[03:53] ---
    Conan-kun. You shouldn't
    get in the way of--
[03:57] ---
    Okaya Noriko-san, lives at--
[04:00] ---
    Stay out of his work!
[04:02] ---
    Alright!
[04:04] ---
    I already saw what I needed!
[04:07] ---
    A handkerchief. Is it hers?
[04:10] ---
    I'll be back later!
[04:12] ---
    Conan-kun! Ugh!
[04:20] ---
    Let's see. 3-9-8...
    Sumire Lodge...
[04:26] ---
    Bingo!
[04:28] ---
    Thanks for bringing
    me my handkerchief!
[04:32] ---
    Conan-kun. Want some cocoa?
[04:34] ---
    Sure!
[04:35] ---
    Just a minute, then!
[04:40] ---
    You have a nice apartment!
[04:42] ---
    Thank you!
[04:43] ---
    Say, what's your job?
[04:46] ---
    Who, me?
[04:49] ---
    I used to work
    at a business firm,
[04:51] ---
    but now I'm taking a break.
[04:52] ---
    Eh? How come?
[04:54] ---
    I got sick.
    I'm recuperating now.
[05:00] ---
    Kerosene?
[05:03] ---
    That's strange.
[05:05] ---
    I don't see any gas heaters...
[05:08] ---
    A can of mace.
[05:11] ---
    Huh? What's that picture?
[05:14] ---
    It's dated May 19th...
[05:18] ---
    Now, now. Is a girl's
    apartment that rare for you?
[05:24] ---
    How embarrassing...
[05:26] ---
    This was my boyfriend,
[05:29] ---
    until he dumped me a while ago...
[05:32] ---
    So now I'm looking
    for a new boyfriend.
[05:36] ---
    That man in the sketch
    sure seems different, though.
[05:42] ---
    I'm thinking things might go smoother
    with a different type of person!
[05:48] ---
    That's enough about me.
    Tell me about yourself.
[05:52] ---
    I bet you have a girlfriend!
[05:54] ---
    No...
[05:59] ---
    I didn't learn much about her...
[06:02] ---
    Oh, well. I guess I'll
    wait around for the old man.
[06:07] ---
    But will he really
    find him that easily?
[06:15] ---
    One Week Later
[06:18] ---
    I haven't been
    to the aquarium in forever!
[06:20] ---
    Me neither! I hope
    I can pet the dolphins!
[06:25] ---
    Too bad about the weather.
[06:27] ---
    It probably won't rain, though.
[06:29] ---
    The old man's working again today.
[06:35] ---
    This Kitagawa guy moved
[06:39] ---
    without giving his new address
    to the transportation office.
[06:43] ---
    This is gonna take awhile...
[06:47] ---
    I thought it was strange
    she hired a detective
[06:49] ---
    when she already had
    his license plate number...
[06:53] ---
    So that's what this really is...
[07:01] ---
    It's Noriko-san!
[07:03] ---
    But why does she look so sad?
[07:07] ---
    Sorry! I just remembered
    I hafta do something!
[07:10] ---
    Wait, Conan!
[07:11] ---
    Conan-kun!
[07:16] ---
    Flowers and mourning clothes...
[07:18] ---
    She's visiting a grave?
[07:41] ---
    I wonder whose grave it is.
    It still looks new.
[07:45] ---
    Oh, Noriko-san.
[07:47] ---
    Saeki-san.
[07:49] ---
    Hard to believe it's been
    six months already...
[07:53] ---
    Yes...
[07:54] ---
    How are you?
[07:56] ---
    Much better.
[07:57] ---
    Thank you for everything you did.
[08:00] ---
    No, all I did was help
    with your rehabilitation.
[08:03] ---
    You did all the hard work.
[08:06] ---
    What do you say we
    have coffee somewhere?
[08:10] ---
    I'm sorry, I need to hurry home.
[08:13] ---
    Oh. Then let me drive you.
[08:17] ---
    That's okay. Thanks, though.
[08:23] ---
    Noriko-san...
[08:25] ---
    Hello!
[08:27] ---
    Oh, hello.
[08:29] ---
    Whose grave is that?
[08:31] ---
    My friend's.
[08:35] ---
    I figured it was that
    lady's boyfriend's grave.
[08:40] ---
    It is. He was both
    my friend and her fiancé.
[08:46] ---
    Her fiancé? When did he die?
[08:48] ---
    Yamaguchi Family Grave
[08:49] ---
    Early June.
[08:52] ---
    June?!
[08:53] ---
    No doubt about it!
    It was the guy in the picture!
[08:56] ---
    This was my boyfriend,
[08:59] ---
    until he dumped me a while ago...
[09:02] ---
    Noriko-san lied
    about being dumped
[09:06] ---
    when her boyfriend
    was actually dead...
[09:08] ---
    Why?
[09:10] ---
    Say, how did he die?
[09:13] ---
    A car accident.
[09:14] ---
    The two were driving
    through scenic Shinshu
[09:18] ---
    when they drove into a cliff.
[09:23] ---
    Pardon my asking,
    but how are you two related?
[09:26] ---
    I met him in early June,
    during a trip to Shinshu...
[09:34] ---
    What does it mean?!
[09:36] ---
    Did she meet him when her
    fiancé caused the accident?!
[09:39] ---
    Have you ever heard
    the name Kitagawa Tsuyoshi?
[09:42] ---
    Eh?
[09:43] ---
    He drives a red sports car.
[09:46] ---
    A red sports car?!
[09:48] ---
    What is it?
[09:49] ---
    No, nothing...
[09:51] ---
    Tell me! It has
    to do with that lady!
[09:55] ---
    With Noriko-san?!
    Who exactly are you?
[09:58] ---
    I'm Conan Edogawa. A detective!
[10:01] ---
    A detective?
[10:07] ---
    What a surprise.
[10:09] ---
    To think that the famous Detective
    Mori would have an assistant like you.
[10:14] ---
    It was the only
    way to get you to talk.
[10:17] ---
    So what are you investigating?
[10:20] ---
    I can't give any details,
    but could you start
[10:23] ---
    by giving me the name
    of Noriko-san's fiance?
[10:28] ---
    His name was Yamaguchi Tatsuo.
[10:31] ---
    He worked at the same
    company as she did.
[10:33] ---
    Earlier, you seemed surprised
    when I mentioned a red sports car.
[10:38] ---
    I heard her talking to
    the police after the accident...
[10:45] ---
    A red sports car?
[10:47] ---
    Yes. There was a young
    couple in it, chasing us.
[10:52] ---
    We tried to lose them, but then--
[10:54] ---
    We did find two sets of tire tracks,
[10:58] ---
    but why would they do that?
[11:00] ---
    They were just harassing us.
[11:02] ---
    At first they kept honking
    their horn from behind,
[11:06] ---
    and when we let them go ahead
[11:10] ---
    they swerved right in front of us.
[11:13] ---
    Tatsuo-san tried to avoid them, but--
[11:16] ---
    Noriko-san...
[11:17] ---
    Alright. We're looking
    into the incident,
[11:21] ---
    but even if we do catch them,
    they'll probably get off easy.
[11:25] ---
    How come?!
[11:27] ---
    Things might've been different
    had you actually collided,
[11:31] ---
    but as they are now, this would
    be deemed Yamaguchi-san's fault.
[11:35] ---
    He was speeding, after all.
[11:40] ---
    Do you remember the car's
    model or license plate number?
[11:48] ---
    Okaya-san?
[11:50] ---
    Then she answered clearly with,
    "I don't remember."
[11:56] ---
    She said she didn't remember?!
[11:59] ---
    Yeah. It was really hard on her.
[12:02] ---
    She couldn't describe
    the couple very well either,
[12:06] ---
    and with no other leads, the police
    investigation ended after only a month.
[12:12] ---
    So those clues...
[12:15] ---
    Yes. His license plate number
[12:18] ---
    and a quick sketch of him.
[12:21] ---
    Oh! He's quite
    the unique individual!
[12:24] ---
    Noriko-san remembered
    his plate number and his face!
[12:28] ---
    Does the fact that
    she didn't tell the police
[12:32] ---
    mean that she's going to
    take matters into her own hands?!
[12:41] ---
    Saeki-san! What was the rehabilitation
    you and Noriko-san talked about?!
[12:45] ---
    I was the doctor in
    charge of her rehabilitation.
[12:50] ---
    How did she seem at the time?
[12:53] ---
    She worked extremely hard.
[12:57] ---
    What normally takes half a year,
    she did in three months.
[13:03] ---
    It was amazing...
[13:05] ---
    No doubt about it!
[13:06] ---
    Her lust for revenge inspired
    her to get better quickly!
[13:11] ---
    Saeki-san! Let's go
    see Noriko-san right now!
[13:15] ---
    Come on! Hurry!
[13:16] ---
    Conan-kun!
[13:20] ---
    I have to somehow change
    Noriko-san's feelings
[13:23] ---
    before the old man
    finds this Kitagawa guy!
[13:26] ---
    But how--
[13:28] ---
    Ouch!
[13:31] ---
    Oh, sorry! That's
    a Shakoba Cactus needle!
[13:34] ---
    It must've gotten
    there when I recently
[13:38] ---
    took one to a friend's house.
[13:40] ---
    A Shakoba Cactus?
    Was it Yamaguchi-san's?!
[13:47] ---
    He had raised cactuses
    since he was a kid.
[13:50] ---
    I took all of them
    in after the accident,
[13:55] ---
    but someone asked for one, so...
[13:59] ---
    I'd like to share
    them with Noriko-san,
[14:02] ---
    but that would
    only remind her of him...
[14:06] ---
    So she doesn't know I have them.
[14:10] ---
    Wait! Shakoba Cactuses are
    also known as Christmas Cactuses!
[14:14] ---
    What if--!
[14:16] ---
    Say, is your house far from here?!
[14:18] ---
    No, it's on the way
    to Noriko-san's place.
[14:22] ---
    Then let's stop by there first!
[14:24] ---
    Eh?
[14:27] ---
    Looks like she's not home yet.
[14:29] ---
    Nope.
[14:31] ---
    That's odd. There's no telling
    when the old man will contact her,
[14:35] ---
    so she should be at home!
[14:37] ---
    Don't tell me he's
    already found the address?!
[14:42] ---
    Mori Detective Agency.
[14:44] ---
    Oh, you're home?
[14:47] ---
    Did you find out
    the guy's address already?
[14:50] ---
    Yep, sure did!
    Wasn't easy, either!
[14:53] ---
    I wore the
    bottoms off of my shoes!
[14:55] ---
    Who is it? Conan-kun?
[14:57] ---
    I just got off
    the phone with her.
[15:01] ---
    Dammit!
[15:02] ---
    But the guy's already
    living with some chick,
[15:06] ---
    so I guess she's out of luck--
[15:08] ---
    Give me the address, too!
[15:11] ---
    What for?!
[15:12] ---
    Hurry, before that couple gets killed!
[15:16] ---
    What?!
[16:48] ---
    Damn!
[16:55] ---
    Tatsuo-san!
[17:09] ---
    Noriko-san probably went
    to the transportation office
[17:13] ---
    on her own to find
    Kitagawa's address.
[17:16] ---
    Unable to find his new address,
    she hired the old man!
[17:20] ---
    If she was that intent
    on rehabilitation,
[17:23] ---
    then there's probably no stopping
    her from wanting vengeance!
[17:29] ---
    How is she planning
    to get revenge, anyway?!
[17:34] ---
    Say, did Yamaguchi-san die instantly?
[17:36] ---
    No. He was still alive
    after he smashed into the cliff.
[17:42] ---
    He burned to death.
[17:44] ---
    Burned?!
[17:46] ---
    The car's gasoline ignited
    before he could be pulled out...
[17:51] ---
    Aha! That wasn't
    kerosene at all!
[17:55] ---
    It was probably gasoline!
[18:36] ---
    It's you!
[18:39] ---
    It sounds like you remember me.
[18:41] ---
    What do you want?!
[18:43] ---
    That accident wasn't our fault!
[18:45] ---
    I don't need your excuses;
    you're both going to die now.
[18:49] ---
    What?!
[18:58] ---
    What was that for?!
[19:00] ---
    You two are human scum!
    Get ready to die!
[19:03] ---
    You're going to suffer
    exactly like my boyfriend did!
[19:06] ---
    You're the crazy one!
[19:13] ---
    Conan-kun!
[19:16] ---
    The roof!
[19:23] ---
    This is probably the
    only way to calm her feelings!
[19:40] ---
    Stop! What are you doin'?!
[19:44] ---
    Stop right there!
[19:48] ---
    Noriko-san!
    Stop this foolishness!
[19:50] ---
    Stay back! Please!
[19:52] ---
    Doing this won't bring
    Yamaguchi-san back!
[19:56] ---
    I know that!
    But this is all I can do!
[20:00] ---
    Don't do it! Light it on fire
    and you'll be injured too!
[20:05] ---
    I don't care!
[20:07] ---
    I have no future now
    that Tatsuo-san is gone!
[20:11] ---
    The least I can do
    is make these people pay...
[20:26] ---
    Whew, I'm pooped...
[20:29] ---
    Conan-kun...
[20:32] ---
    This Shakoba Cactus sure is pretty!
[20:35] ---
    They bloom in the winter,
    so in some countries
[20:37] ---
    they're given as Christmas presents
[20:40] ---
    and even referred to
    as Christmas Cactuses!
[20:51] ---
    Is that Tatsuo-san's
    Shakoba Cactus?
[20:56] ---
    Yes. I took in all of his
    cactuses as mementos.
[21:18] ---
    Noriko-san.
[21:20] ---
    Yamaguchi-san may have died,
[21:22] ---
    but he lives on in
    each one of these flowers.
[21:41] ---
    Tatsuo-san!
[23:29] ---
    You should've come!
    The aquarium was awesome!
[23:34] ---
    All three of us fed the dolphins!
[23:37] ---
    But Genta-kun slipped and fell!
[23:41] ---
    The aquarium guy took
    a picture at that exact moment!
[23:46] ---
    See!
[23:51] ---
    Wow! Looks like fun!
[23:56] ---
    Boy, am I glad I didn't go!
[24:03] ---
    Abe took out an insurance
    policy on Negishi-san
[24:08] ---
    worth 500 million yen!
[24:11] ---
    And he had me
    vouch for his alibi!
[24:17] ---
    No way!
[24:19] ---
    You?!
[24:21] ---
    I'll smash in that
    rotten head of yours!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Akaoni Fire
    Festival Murder Case."
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Left handed.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode's case is a little tough.
[24:53] ---
    Well, I've read the comic.
[24:55] ---
