[00:00] ---
    A racing second hand,
    a shooting comet,
[00:02] ---
    a pop-up doll,
    and broken ceramic!
[00:04] ---
    Mystery-solving logic is helpful
    against people's dry hearts!
[00:08] ---
    Heiji Hattori looks poised to discover
    Conan's real identity today!
[00:11] ---
    He sees the
    single truth for what it is,
[00:13] ---
    and there's no
    outwitting his logic!
[00:14] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:52] ---
    The old man, Ran, and I went
    on a trip for Sherlock Holmes fans.
[01:57] ---
    However, the car of Kanaya-san,
[02:00] ---
    this trip's director and
    owner of the Mycroft Lodge,
[02:03] ---
    fell over a cliff and exploded!
[02:12] ---
    Moreover, having been
    isolated from the outside world,
[02:15] ---
    we shut ourselves in the lodge
    to prevent any further casualties,
[02:20] ---
    but Ayako-san, who claimed
    to know the identity of the killer,
[02:24] ---
    died in an explosion in the garage!
[02:27] ---
    Was the owner responsible?
[02:29] ---
    Or was it one of the five other guests
[02:32] ---
    excluding us three and Heiji Hattori?
[02:34] ---
    Suddenly, Fujisawa-san was
    attacked by someone with an ice pick!
[02:45] ---

[02:46] ---
    The Holmes Freak Murder Case (Part 2).
[02:52] ---
    Who would do such a thing?!
[02:53] ---
    It was the owner.
[02:55] ---
    He faked his death
    during the first incident,
[02:58] ---
    hid somewhere inside this lodge,
[03:01] ---
    burned Ayako-*san
    *to death in the garage,
[03:03] ---
    then attacked Fujisawa-*san
    *with an ice pick
[03:06] ---
    and escaped out that window!
[03:09] ---
    Damn it! Why would
    the owner want to kill me?!
[03:13] ---
    I even helped him
    with the book he published!
[03:16] ---
    Book?
[03:18] ---
    A Holmes book he published
    last year with his own money.
[03:21] ---
    I believe the title was
    "The Disparagement of Irene Adler."
[03:25] ---
    Irene Adler?
[03:28] ---
    Alright, Ran!
    We're going after the owner!
[03:31] ---
    Right!
[03:33] ---
    Forget about it.
    There's no point.
[03:36] ---
    You'd never find the
    killer by looking out there!
[03:39] ---
    What do you know?!
[03:40] ---
    Take a closer look at this chair.
[03:43] ---
    See how it's unnaturally
    placed at the narrow end?
[03:45] ---
    It's proof that the
    killer quickly pushed it under
[03:48] ---
    after breaking the window.
[03:50] ---
    He's right! There are
    pieces of glass stuck in it!
[03:53] ---
    The killer must have used this chair!
[03:56] ---
    But that only proves
    the killer used the chair to--
[03:59] ---
    You idiot! Who would
    bother putting a chair back
[04:02] ---
    after smashing a
    window to escape through it?
[04:05] ---
    The killer probably
    held the chair with bare hands
[04:08] ---
    when they broke the window!
[04:10] ---
    It was too dark to
    remove the fingerprints,
[04:12] ---
    so the killer put the
    chair back under the table--
[04:16] ---
    so we wouldn't notice and so
    they could wipe the fingerprints off
[04:21] ---
    when no one was looking.
[04:23] ---
    After the lights came back on?
[04:25] ---
    Wait, we were the
    only ones in the room then...
[04:28] ---
    That's right.
[04:30] ---
    Now do you see
    that the owner didn't do it,
[04:34] ---
    and that the killer
    is in this very room?!
[04:40] ---
    Maid. You said a fuse had blown
[04:44] ---
    when the lights went out, correct?
[04:46] ---
    Yes! When I tried to
    plug in the coffee maker,
[04:50] ---
    it suddenly sparked!
[04:53] ---
    It was this outlet!
[04:56] ---
    There was a thin wire
    wrapped around the plug
[04:59] ---
    so that it would cause a
    short if someone were to plug it in.
[05:03] ---
    But where did
    the killer get this wire?
[05:07] ---
    I bet it was this!
[05:08] ---
    The wire attached to
    the top of this coffee pack!
[05:12] ---
    The width and length
    do match perfectly...
[05:16] ---
    Who opened the packs?
[05:18] ---
    Kawatsu-san and Togano-san...
[05:23] ---
    Now it's clear.
[05:25] ---
    You're the killer, Kawatsu-san!
[05:29] ---
    Hold on, now!
[05:32] ---
    There were three other people
    in the kitchen besides me--
[05:35] ---
    You moron!
[05:36] ---
    All three of those people
    have alibis for the first incident!
[05:42] ---
    You most likely took a wire off
    a pack when no one was looking,
[05:45] ---
    wrapped it around the plug,
    and then returned to the living room
[05:48] ---
    to wait for the lights to go out!
[05:51] ---
    Then, in the darkness,
[05:53] ---
    you attacked Fujisawa-*san
    *with an ice pick
[05:56] ---
    that you carried in
    here with some ice--
[05:58] ---
    using the flame from
    his lighter to find him!
[06:01] ---
    However, some unexpected
    obstacles caused you to fail.
[06:05] ---
    Isn't that right?
[06:06] ---
    Yeah, but something's not quite right.
[06:12] ---
    Right, boy?
[06:13] ---
    Yeah.
[06:14] ---
    The third incident in which
    Fujisawa-san was attacked
[06:18] ---
    is different than the first two
[06:20] ---
    in that the culprit plainly
    left evidence behind.
[06:23] ---
    Perhaps this third incident
    wasn't part of the killer's plan?
[06:29] ---
    Conan-kun...
[06:32] ---
    But I'm just a kid,
    so what would I know?
[06:37] ---
    Don't pay any attention to him!
[06:39] ---
    He just loves to play detective!
[06:43] ---
    Come over here.
[06:44] ---
    There's something really
    strange about this kid!
[06:48] ---
    He isn't playing detective!
    He's really analyzing!
[06:52] ---
    His voice and body are different,
    but he's almost just like Kudo!
[06:58] ---
    Kudo?!
[06:59] ---
    Yeah! When Kudo showed
    up during that previous incident,
[07:02] ---
    that kid disappeared somewhere!
[07:04] ---
    And then when Kudo disappeared,
    he just popped up again...
[07:09] ---
    Could he really be?!
[07:17] ---
    But isn't it strange, Detective?
[07:21] ---
    If Kawatsu-san really is the killer,
[07:23] ---
    how did he set the garage on
    fire during the second incident?
[07:27] ---
    And during the first incident,
[07:29] ---
    the owner's car sped up
    before it went over the cliff!
[07:34] ---
    That's right!
[07:35] ---
    Yeah.
[07:37] ---
    I've got almost all of
    the second incident solved,
[07:39] ---
    but the first incident
    makes no sense...
[07:42] ---
    Eh? You know how they set
    the garage on fire?!
[07:45] ---
    Well, yeah...
[07:47] ---
    At any rate, what I don't
    understand about the first incident
[07:49] ---
    are the following four points.
[07:51] ---
    Why we didn't see the
    owner for almost an entire day...
[07:54] ---
    Why the car suddenly sped up...
[07:57] ---
    The odd sound coming
    from inside the car
[08:00] ---
    and the blanket on the dashboard...
[08:03] ---
    And then one more mystery
    appeared when we came here.
[08:07] ---
    The owner was holding
    the steering wheel tightly.
[08:11] ---
    The car was on a bumpy road,
    but his body never slumped.
[08:15] ---
    That means by the time
    he was placed in the car,
[08:18] ---
    he was long dead
    and rigor mortis had set in!
[08:21] ---
    Rigor mortis?!
[08:23] ---
    A body usually begins to stiffen
    thirty minutes to two hours after death,
[08:28] ---
    and nine to twelve hours later,
    the body becomes completely stiff.
[08:32] ---
    Thirty hours after that,
    under the best circumstances,
[08:36] ---
    the body loosens up again and
    approximately seventy hours later
[08:38] ---
    it's back to normal.
[08:41] ---
    If we assume the
    owner was completely stiff
[08:44] ---
    when he was placed
    in the car at 3:30 a.m.,
[08:47] ---
    then he was killed between
    3:30 and 5:30 p.m. the previous day.
[08:51] ---
    In other words,
    sometime before dinner,
[08:54] ---
    but what I don't understand
[08:57] ---
    is why they had to
    put him in the car so early...
[09:00] ---
    Maybe to make
    it look like a suicide?
[09:03] ---
    My guess is that they
    killed the owner before dinner,
[09:05] ---
    put him in the car, had him
    sit with his hands on the wheel,
[09:09] ---
    waited for him to stiffen,
    then went to the garage after dinner
[09:12] ---
    and sent the car on its way.
[09:14] ---
    In other words,
[09:16] ---
    the killer was one of
    you who left after dinner!
[09:20] ---
    Then why did the car speed up?
[09:23] ---
    A dead person couldn't
    possibly have done that...
[09:25] ---
    A dead person?!
[09:28] ---
    Could the killer's trick be--
[09:31] ---
    If so, then only that
    person could've done it,
[09:34] ---
    but there's still no proof!
[09:36] ---
    Wait a minute!
[09:37] ---
    She did say that Ayako-san was
    loitering in the hall in the afternoon...
[09:41] ---
    If she had actually seen
    something in that person's room...
[09:49] ---
    That's it!
[09:50] ---
    Now I see!
[09:51] ---
    I know the killer's identity!
[09:55] ---
    Yes, the killer is you!
[09:57] ---
    Fortuneteller Maria Toda-san!
[10:00] ---
    I beg your pardon?!
[10:01] ---
    You must have used hypnosis
    to make the owner drive the car!
[10:06] ---
    Give me a break.
[10:07] ---
    I can't wait to use
    a sleeping dart on him...
[10:11] ---
    But it's all over if he catches
    me during my explanation.
[10:15] ---
    Say! What would
    happen to the rigor mortis
[10:16] ---
    if the temperature went up?
[10:18] ---
    Would it start sooner?
[10:20] ---
    If so, then you
    know who did it, huh?
[10:24] ---
    I haven't the slightest idea.
    I'm pretty dumb, you see.
[10:29] ---
    Darn it!
[10:30] ---
    He knows all right, he's just
    trying to make me explain it!
[10:33] ---
    Alright, in that case!
[10:36] ---
    I'll just be going
    to the bathroom now...
[10:38] ---
    Oh. Then I will, too...
[10:41] ---
    Huh? Where'd he go?
[10:46] ---
    Will you get serious?!
[10:47] ---
    I'm a fortuneteller, not a magician!
[10:51] ---
    That's enough of this farce, old man.
[10:53] ---
    What?
[10:54] ---
    I just figured out
    who the killer is, too!
[10:59] ---
    You did?
[11:01] ---
    That's right.
[11:02] ---
    The person behind all three
    incidents at this lodge... was you!
[11:15] ---
    That's right.
[11:16] ---
    The person behind all
    three incidents at this lodge...
[11:20] ---
    ...was you!
[11:22] ---
    Eh? Me?!
[11:24] ---
    No!
[11:26] ---
    The man in a cold sweat behind you...
[11:29] ---
    ...you, Togano-san!
[11:34] ---
    Wait!
[11:36] ---
    I was here in the living room
    hours before the car even took off!
[11:41] ---
    And when Ayako was killed,
    I was with everyone else!
[11:46] ---
    He's right, you moron!
[11:48] ---
    Oh, man! I hope he didn't wake up!
[11:50] ---
    Stop that, Dad!
[11:52] ---
    Don't you mock me with
    your fancy Kansai dialect!
[11:56] ---
    And besides, you were with us
    too when the car started moving!
[12:01] ---
    How could Togano-*san
    *possibly have started the car?!
[12:05] ---
    You're right, it certainly
    appears impossible.
[12:09] ---
    But if he were to
    utilize the rigor mortis
[12:12] ---
    and a certain function of the car,
    it would become possible.
[12:17] ---
    The trick goes like this.
[12:19] ---
    The culprit killed the owner
    almost exactly one day ago,
[12:21] ---
    sat him in the car seat,
    and stuck his foot on the brake.
[12:26] ---
    Rigor mortis would
    occur half a day later,
[12:28] ---
    and the brakes would have
    kept the car motionless
[12:31] ---
    even if the engine
    was running and in drive.
[12:34] ---
    Before dinner last night,
    the killer opened the garage
[12:38] ---
    and then waited in the living room
    for the foot on the brake to loosen up
[12:42] ---
    and cause the
    car to start moving...
[12:44] ---
    You fool!
[12:46] ---
    Rigor mortis doesn't go away
[12:48] ---
    until at least forty hours after death!
[12:52] ---
    You even said so yourself-
[12:54] ---
    What if the outside
    temperature increases?
[12:58] ---
    If the temperature around the body
    was about 95 degrees Fahrenheit,
[13:00] ---
    the rigor mortis and rate of
    loosening up would speed up,
[13:04] ---
    so it would start to go away after
    only twenty-four to thirty hours.
[13:08] ---
    It was after 10:00 p.m. two nights
    ago that the owner disappeared.
[13:12] ---
    If he had been
    killed shortly afterward...
[13:15] ---
    The car started moving approximately
    twenty-nine hours later
[13:18] ---
    --before 3:30 this morning--
[13:21] ---
    which was just
    about the right time.
[13:23] ---
    The hissing sound
    we heard inside the car
[13:26] ---
    wasn't the air conditioner--
    it was the heater!
[13:28] ---
    Had it been the AC,
[13:29] ---
    water drops would have
    fallen by the front tires.
[13:33] ---
    So that's why you were
    checking around the tire tracks?
[13:37] ---
    That's right.
[13:38] ---
    Naturally, there were
    no water marks to be found.
[13:42] ---
    But that trick would
    be easy to see through
[13:44] ---
    by checking the body...
[13:46] ---
    That's why the killer sent
    the owner over the cliff in the car!
[13:50] ---
    To make the body unrecoverable
[13:52] ---
    so we couldn't check
    the state of rigor mortis!
[13:55] ---
    So why did the car speed up?
[13:59] ---
    That was probably because his
    foot slipped off the brake pedal
[14:03] ---
    as the car bumped around.
[14:06] ---
    And the blanket on the dashboard
[14:09] ---
    was there to conceal
    the heater indicator
[14:11] ---
    from people
    who got near the car!
[14:16] ---
    I see!
[14:17] ---
    So by witnessing the car
    with someone else in the room...
[14:23] ---
    ...they would
    have an airtight alibi!
[14:26] ---
    So the reason Togano-san kept
    Ayako-san in the living room
[14:31] ---
    was because he wanted someone
    who would witness the car with him?
[14:36] ---
    Precisely.
[14:37] ---
    And the only person who
    could have done such a thing
[14:40] ---
    was Togano-san!
[14:44] ---
    Interesting.
[14:45] ---
    Your theory almost sounds
    like it's straight out of a novel.
[14:49] ---
    It's too bad you have
    no evidence to prove it.
[14:54] ---
    And as I've said before,
    when the fire erupted in the garage,
[14:58] ---
    I was in here with everyone else.
[15:00] ---
    No matter how you look at it,
    there's no way
[15:02] ---
    I could have set the fire exactly
    when Ayako happened to go in there.
[15:06] ---
    No, but it would
    still be easy enough...
[15:09] ---
    All you had to do was tell her
[15:12] ---
    that the first-edition Holmes book
    was hidden beneath the back seat
[15:16] ---
    of the car in the garage!
[15:18] ---
    The first-edition book?
    What's that have to do with anything?
[15:22] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[15:24] ---
    At that time, the car in the
    garage was drained of its gasoline
[15:27] ---
    and its battery removed!
[15:29] ---
    She wanted to look for the book,
    but with the car lights unusable
[15:31] ---
    the back seat would
    have been pitch black.
[15:36] ---
    What would you have done?
[15:37] ---
    If it were pitch dark, I'd have
    to use a lighter or something...
[15:41] ---
    That's it! A lighter!
[15:44] ---
    Ayako-san used a
    lighter to look for the book!
[15:50] ---
    The flame ignited the gasoline
    that had leaked from the car!
[15:54] ---
    So she was the
    one who started the fire?!
[15:57] ---
    But she was an important
    witness from the first incident!
[16:02] ---
    There were four
    other witnesses besides her!
[16:05] ---
    There was no
    need to keep her alive...
[16:08] ---
    But aren't Ayako-*san
    *and Togano-san lovers?
[16:12] ---
    Why would he do that?
[16:14] ---
    Because she figured
    out his rigor mortis trick
[16:17] ---
    and found evidence that
    he was the one responsible!
[16:20] ---
    You all remember.
[16:23] ---
    Ayako-san declared
    she knew who the killer was.
[16:26] ---
    Hearing that,
    Togano-san grew flustered
[16:28] ---
    and pretended to
    follow her to the bathroom.
[16:32] ---
    He then told her
    about the first-edition book
[16:34] ---
    and lured her into
    the trap in the garage!
[16:36] ---
    Now that you mention it,
[16:38] ---
    Togano-san was
    the only one alone with her...
[16:41] ---
    So that's why she changed her
    attitude after leaving the bathroom!
[16:45] ---
    But he certainly was clever
    to come up with that garage trick...
[16:49] ---
    No. That trap had been prepared
    in advance for a certain person...
[16:55] ---
    The killer lucked out because
    Ayako-san had a lighter,
[16:58] ---
    just as that other
    person would have had!
[17:03] ---
    Yes. The trap in the garage
    was really meant to kill Fujisawa-san!
[17:09] ---
    What?!
[17:10] ---
    That card that
    was stuck in your door...
[17:14] ---
    The killer intended to lure
    you into the garage and murder you!
[17:19] ---
    But things didn't go according to plan
[17:22] ---
    and the garage trap
    wound up killing Ayako-san.
[17:25] ---
    He quickly devised
    a plan to cause a blackout
[17:27] ---
    by fiddling with the outlet
[17:29] ---
    and then attacked
    Fujisawa-san with an ice pick!
[17:32] ---
    I see. So that's why
    there was so much evidence
[17:35] ---
    after the third incident...
[17:37] ---
    Togano-san was in
    the kitchen at the time--
[17:40] ---
    he could've very
    easily fiddled with it!
[17:43] ---
    In other words, the only person
[17:45] ---
    who could've pulled
    off all three incidents...
[17:50] ---
    ...was Togano-san!
[17:51] ---
    Then show us your proof!
[17:55] ---
    If you're going to make such accusations,
    then surely you have proof?
[17:59] ---
    Oh? You mean you didn't know?
[18:01] ---
    Ayako-san saw a certain
    something in your room
[18:05] ---
    yesterday afternoon!
[18:07] ---
    It doesn't matter what she saw!
    She can't talk now--
[18:10] ---
    Question ♪1.
[18:11] ---
    "Which hand does
    Holmes write with?"
[18:14] ---
    Question ♪2.
[18:15] ---
    "What is the name
    of Dr. Watson's wife?"
[18:18] ---
    What is this?!
[18:20] ---
    Oh, my. Have you forgotten?
[18:23] ---
    Didn't you take the Holmes Cult
    Test of 1000 Questions too?
[18:27] ---
    Question ♪241.
[18:30] ---
    "What did Holmes' letter
    written in the 'Dancing Men' code
[18:33] ---
    say to the killer?"
[18:35] ---
    Oh, I remember
    that question very well...
[18:39] ---
    The answer is,
    "Come here at once!"
[18:42] ---
    That question wasn't on the test...
[18:45] ---
    There was only that one question
    about "The Dancing Men"!
[18:49] ---
    "Write down the entire 'Dancing
    Men' code as it appeared!"
[18:53] ---
    That's right.
[18:54] ---
    That question was so hard it
    would be impossible to forget.
[18:58] ---
    Isn't it a little strange
    that you don't remember it?
[19:02] ---
    I was just-
[19:04] ---
    The reason Ayako-*san
    *went to your room
[19:06] ---
    was to copy your test answers!
[19:09] ---
    But you weren't in your room.
[19:12] ---
    You had probably gone to the garage
[19:14] ---
    to check the state of
    the owner's rigor mortis!
[19:17] ---
    So what Ayako-san saw was--
[19:19] ---
    Yes. A completely blank test
    with no answers written at all!
[19:26] ---
    The reason he
    didn't write anything down
[19:29] ---
    was because
    there would be no point.
[19:32] ---
    In other words,
[19:33] ---
    you knew that the owner
    wouldn't be grading the tests
[19:36] ---
    because he was no longer alive!
[19:39] ---
    If you're going to claim
    this is all nonsense,
[19:41] ---
    then would you kindly
    show us your test?
[19:44] ---
    Right now!
[19:47] ---
    D-Damn it!
[19:49] ---
    Why, you...
[19:52] ---
    Speak up! Why did you
    want me and the owner dead?!
[19:56] ---
    "The Disparagement of Irene Adler."
[19:58] ---
    His motive was most likely
    the book you helped the owner write.
[20:04] ---
    What?!
[20:06] ---
    Irene? The actress who outwitted
    Holmes in one of the stories?
[20:11] ---
    Yes. But the owner's
    book was mostly about
[20:14] ---
    Holmes' failure as a detective.
[20:17] ---
    Now I see.
[20:18] ---
    Togano-san felt that
    the book insulted Holmes, so he--
[20:22] ---
    Just the opposite.
[20:24] ---
    Irene was the only
    woman Sherlock admired.
[20:27] ---
    I couldn't possibly see
    such a woman ridiculing him.
[20:35] ---
    I couldn't allow it...
[20:37] ---
    I absolutely couldn't!
[20:49] ---
    That was incredible, Hattori-kun!
[20:51] ---
    Just what I'd expect from
    the great western detective!
[20:54] ---
    Uh oh!
[20:55] ---
    But of course!
[20:57] ---
    A case like this is
    like a walk in the park for me!
[21:02] ---
    Looks like I made it through
    this without having my cover blown...
[21:05] ---
    Conan-kun!
[21:07] ---
    Conan-kun!
[21:10] ---
    I'm right here, Ran!
[21:12] ---
    Hey.
[21:14] ---
    You're Kudo, aren't you?
[21:17] ---
    What are you
    talking about? I'm just a kid!
[21:21] ---
    Your fake Kansai
    dialect was pathetic!
[21:25] ---
    Oh! So this is the gizmo
    you used to imitate my voice!
[21:29] ---
    I saw you using it
    in the corner of my eye!
[21:33] ---
    At what point?
[21:34] ---
    "It would become possible."
[21:37] ---
    You talk a little strangely,
[21:39] ---
    but from your tone and the
    way you set up your theories
[21:41] ---
    you're definitely Shinichi Kudo!
[21:43] ---
    What do you mean?
    Look at me! I'm just a kid!
[21:45] ---
    Fine, have it your way.
[21:49] ---
    Hey, check this out!
    You'll never guess!
[21:53] ---
    The truth is--
[21:55] ---
    Hold on!
[23:24] ---
    So their drug shrunk you
[23:26] ---
    and now you're living
    with your girlfriend
[23:29] ---
    to find out about
    their organization?
[23:32] ---
    She's not my girlfriend.
    She's a pain in the ass.
[23:38] ---
    You two sure
    are getting along well!
[23:41] ---
    Yeah!
[23:42] ---
    Hey, wanna hear what
    Kudo once said about you?
[23:47] ---
    He said you're so annoying
    he can't stand you!
[23:51] ---
    Annoying?!
[23:55] ---
    Jerk!
[23:56] ---
    That's what you get
    for putting me to sleep!
[24:11] ---
    What's this?
[24:12] ---
    Looks like it was cut with a knife.
[24:20] ---
    Someone's trying to kill Hiroshi-kun
[24:23] ---
    and make it look like an accident.
[24:25] ---
    The next episode of Conan is
[24:27] ---
    "The First Errand Murder!"
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
    Traffic Mirror.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode sees the return of a popular series!
[24:53] ---
    The Detective Boys play a huge role!
[24:55] ---
    Again?
[24:56] ---
