**[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] ---**
