    The Stage Actress Murder Case.
[02:02] ---
    Mori Detective Agency
[02:05] ---
    You're Dad's teacher?
[02:07] ---
    He wasn't too bright.
[02:11] ---
    He always needed my help,
    even when he worked for the police.
[02:16] ---
    Are you Shiota Heihachiro-san?!
[02:19] ---
    Shiota Heihachiro
    Legendary Detective
[02:22] ---
    I'm known as the Japanese Holmes.
[02:25] ---
    Shiota Heihachiro?!
[02:28] ---
    This geezer is that
    legendary detective?!
[02:31] ---
    I hear he's done a lot lately,
    so I came to observe.
[02:36] ---
    I'm so sorry! He's out
    on a case right now!
[02:40] ---
    Some famous acting
    troupe was threatened...
[02:44] ---
    Threatened?!
[02:46] ---
    Lead the way, young lady!
[02:48] ---
    Okay...
[02:49] ---
    This is great! I get to see
    the famous detective in action!
[02:54] ---
    Beika Art Theater
[03:00] ---
    "Cancel the show or it will
    become a terrible tragedy."
[03:06] ---
    Any ideas who sent it?
[03:07] ---
    Of course not.
[03:09] ---
    Hey! Where's Shoko?!
    When can we start rehearsal?!
[03:13] ---
    She's still not ready.
[03:15] ---
    Dammit. Thinks she's so
[03:15] ---
    Motoki Kazuo
    Director
[03:17] ---
    great after some TV work.
[03:19] ---
    Anyway, it's probably just a prank,
    but everyone's scared,
[03:24] ---
    so look into it.
[03:26] ---
    Just don't get in the way.
[03:30] ---
    Yeesh...
[03:32] ---
    Ah, so this is it...
[03:35] ---
    What're you doing here?!
[03:36] ---
    Shiota Heihachiro-*san
    *asked to come.
[03:39] ---
    What?! That old man?!
[03:41] ---
    Where is he?!
[03:42] ---
    He disappeared when we got here...
[03:45] ---
    Disappeared?!
[03:52] ---
    Make way!
[03:56] ---
    Hei-san! What are you doing here?!
[03:59] ---
    He touched my butt!
[04:02] ---
    Forgive me!
    I'm not long for this world!
[04:07] ---
    Old crackpot...
[04:09] ---
    What happened, Shoko-san?
    Is there a problem?!
[04:09] ---
    Sasaki Hitomi
    Manager
[04:12] ---
    I'm sick of it all!
[04:15] ---
    And why's that pathetic director
[04:15] ---
    Oide Shoko
    Leading Actress
[04:17] ---
    telling me how to act?!
[04:21] ---
    And having my ex as
    the leading man sucks!
[04:24] ---
    Move!
[04:25] ---
    Shoko-san!
[04:27] ---
    Nakayama Eiko
    Actress
[04:27] ---
    Thinks she's so big!
[04:30] ---
    What's the big idea of showing
    up and obstructing my work?!
[04:35] ---
    That actress still needs practice.
[04:39] ---
    Rears are the essence of life.
[04:41] ---
    One touch will tell
    you how a person lives.
[04:47] ---
    What're you doing?!
[04:52] ---
    Dad!
[04:55] ---
    So vivacious!
[04:57] ---
    Are you really a
    legendary detective?
[05:05] ---
    What are they doing there?
[05:07] ---
    That's called 'marking.'
    It lets actors know where to stand.
[05:11] ---
    It's important to choose
    specific spots for the lighting.
[05:17] ---
    Plays sure are complicated!
[05:19] ---
    What's your problem?!
[05:21] ---
    Quit complaining, amateur!
[05:23] ---
    I'm not complaining! I'm asking!
[05:26] ---
    The lights almost fell
    on Shoko last week!
[05:31] ---
    You saying I did it on purpose?!
[05:34] ---
    So this is what it's
    like above the stage!
[05:37] ---
    Tateoka Jun'ichi
    Props
[05:38] ---
    Go ahead and check!
[05:40] ---
    Get real.
[05:44] ---
    Thanks, little boy!
[05:46] ---
    Is someone after Shoko-san?
[05:48] ---
    Maybe.
[05:49] ---
    You shouldn't be up here!
    It's dangerous!
[05:57] ---
    Is Oide Shoko-*san
    *the culprit's target?
[06:01] ---
    I will never leave you,
    even if I go to Hell.
[06:05] ---
    I'll follow you wherever you go!
[06:08] ---
    Surely, our love will become
    a star in the heavens!
[06:13] ---
    How boring. They should do
    some of the classics instead.
[06:28] ---
    Uda Yuichi
    Leading Man
[06:28] ---
    So you'll die with me?
[06:32] ---
    I'm not afraid to,
    if it's with you.
[06:35] ---
    What lame acting!
[07:05] ---
    Marvelous, Shoko!
    That was absolutely realistic!
[07:09] ---
    Yeah! You really outshone me!
[07:13] ---
    Hey, Shoko!
[07:19] ---
    Shoko...
[07:21] ---
    What's wrong?
[07:25] ---
    Come on, Shoko! That's enough!
[07:31] ---
    She's dead!
[07:33] ---
    Everyone stay where you are!
[07:35] ---
    Darn it!
    Right before my very eyes!
[07:41] ---
    Dark pink skin and strange spots...
[07:45] ---
    This is clearly--
[07:46] ---
    --a case of cyanide poisoning.
[07:50] ---
    Hei-san! What are you doing here?!
[07:52] ---
    I heard stories about you and Mori
[07:54] ---
    so I came to see how
    much you've improved.
[07:57] ---
    Anyway, you're retired!
    Please don't get in the way!
[08:03] ---
    Listen to the big man talk!
[08:05] ---
    Who saved your job when you let
    that serial murderer get away?
[08:11] ---
    Um, well...
[08:13] ---
    There's also the time I solved
    that locked-room murder for you.
[08:20] ---
    Don't worry, Inspector.
    I know who did it.
[08:23] ---
    I hope so. I'll never hear the
    end of it if he beats me again.
[08:28] ---
    I suppose I'll just
    sit here and watch...
[08:33] ---
    The killer was the one who poisoned
    the water! You, Uda-san!
[08:38] ---
    Ridiculous. I had
    no reason to kill Shoko.
[08:42] ---
    Not true. You two
    used to be an item.
[08:46] ---
    I bet she cheated on
    you once she got popular!
[08:51] ---
    You two used to argue nearly
    every day about her acting!
[08:56] ---
    I just wanted the play to be good.
[09:01] ---
    Convenient way to put it!
[09:03] ---
    Swallowing cyanide means
    a near-instant death!
[09:07] ---
    She drank the water just fine
    after swallowing the prop poison.
[09:12] ---
    There was no poison in that packet.
[09:16] ---
    Watch. I'll prove
    if there's poison or not.
[09:19] ---
    Wait! Don't!
[09:21] ---
    Ahh! What are you?
[09:24] ---
    See?
[09:27] ---
    Mori-kun!
[09:28] ---
    How did they slip her the poison?
[09:32] ---
    The rehearsal went
    for forty minutes straight.
[09:35] ---
    A capsule before the rehearsal
    would've dissolved in fifteen minutes.
[09:40] ---
    Plus they're not airtight,
    so they're not suitable for cyanide.
[09:44] ---
    In which case...
[09:46] ---
    Thinks she's so big!
[09:49] ---
    She brought the water
    and glasses out.
[09:54] ---
    She's not here!
[09:56] ---
    What are you doing?
    You haven't improved one bit!
[10:00] ---
    You know who did it?!
[10:02] ---
    It's elementary. The woman did it.
[10:05] ---
    The woman?!
[10:06] ---
    She was the one who carried
    the pitcher and glasses out.
[10:10] ---
    That's it! She put
    poison in the pitcher!
[10:18] ---
    What're you doing there?!
[10:20] ---
    Nothing! Just cleaning up!
[10:24] ---
    What are you trying to hide?!
[10:28] ---
    Stop!
[10:30] ---
    What did I do?!
[10:33] ---
    I said to stay where you were
    until we're done investigating!
[10:37] ---
    This is--
[10:39] ---
    This writing pad was used
    to write the threat letter!
[10:42] ---
    What?! Why, you!
    Getting in the way again?!
[10:46] ---
    There's no way to
    know that so easily!
[10:48] ---
    But there are pen imprints left!
[10:52] ---
    There are...
[10:58] ---
    The case is closed,
    all thanks to him.
[11:03] ---
    How could you tell
    she was suspicious?
[11:07] ---
    As the saying goes,
    "There's a woman in every crime."
[11:11] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[11:13] ---
    Inspector.
[11:14] ---
    Well, Takagi-kun?
[11:16] ---
    There's no cyanide to be found...
[11:19] ---
    See! I'll admit to writing the letter,
    but I didn't kill that woman!
[11:25] ---
    You sure?
[11:27] ---
    You were pretty pissed when
    Shoko got the leading role.
[11:32] ---
    Of course I was! But you said
    you wanted her to die, too!
[11:38] ---
    I'll lose the most if this play flops!
[11:41] ---
    Calm down, now...
[11:43] ---
    Inspector.
[11:45] ---
    We found cyanide in the
    water left in her glass.
[11:50] ---
    The pitcher was clean.
[11:51] ---
    So it was you!
[11:54] ---
    No it wasn't, you lousy detective!
[11:56] ---
    Didn't someone give
    you the glasses backstage?
[12:02] ---
    Yeah! That's right!
[12:04] ---
    Tateoka-san got them ready for me!
[12:08] ---
    That's true, but I didn't poison anyone!
[12:11] ---
    She did tell me to fire you...
    What was that about?
[12:17] ---
    Manager Sasaki Hitomi-san.
    Have you heard anything?
[12:21] ---
    Tateoka-san peeked as she
    was changing clothes...
[12:26] ---
    She must've resented it, so you-
[12:29] ---
    He didn't do it.
[12:31] ---
    How's that?
[12:32] ---
    Because he's not a woman?
[12:36] ---
    You're a smart one.
[12:38] ---
    Elementary? Yeah, right.
[12:41] ---
    Elementary?!
[12:43] ---
    Things wouldn't fit if
    Tateoka-san was after Shoko-san!
[12:47] ---
    The two glasses were exactly the same.
[12:50] ---
    Which glass Shoko-*san
    *got depended on Eiko-san.
[12:55] ---
    He couldn't accurately target her!
[12:57] ---
    Spill it already!
[13:01] ---
    It's the truth!
    I didn't poison anything!
[13:03] ---
    I just thought I'd injure
    her by rigging the curtain...
[13:09] ---
    Rigging the curtain?
[13:15] ---
    Dad!
[13:20] ---
    I'm staying here!
[13:22] ---
    Come, now.
    What do you think I'm here for?
[13:26] ---
    A teacher assists his useless pupils.
[13:29] ---
    Take it easy and recuperate.
[13:32] ---
    I will solve this case.
[13:35] ---
    Oh, no, you won't! You always--
[13:39] ---
    Ouch!
[13:40] ---
    Get him to the hospital!
[13:50] ---
    How did the killer slip
    Shoko-san the cyanide?
[13:53] ---
    They didn't put it on the
    glass, or in the water.
[13:57] ---
    It was definitely added moments
    before she drank the water.
[14:02] ---
    That's the look, boy.
[14:04] ---
    You look much more detective-like
    than Mori ever could!
[14:09] ---
    Say, how do you think the
    killer poisoned Shoko-san?
[14:14] ---
    Good question. The answer is,
    "Only the gods know."
[14:20] ---
    It's nothing to make light of.
[14:22] ---
    Do you know of the novel,
    "The Spider's Thread"?
[14:25] ---
    Yeah! The one Akutagawa
    Ryunosuke wrote?
[14:29] ---
    Yes. He says that Buddha knows
    all things, good and bad.
[14:34] ---
    Have a look at that ugly scene.
[14:37] ---
    Tateoka! Were you tryin'
    to ruin my play?!
[14:41] ---
    This is your fault
    for using that broad!
[14:44] ---
    You blaming me?!
[14:45] ---
    When fools fight, they don't
    realize they expose their ugliness.
[14:53] ---
    Just like the fools
    who cut the spider thread
[14:57] ---
    that Buddha extended to them.
[15:00] ---
    This is no time for spider
    thread talk. We need to--
[15:04] ---
    Spider thread?!
[15:10] ---
    Why is that star pulled up?!
[15:22] ---
    This is it!
[15:24] ---
    It's directly above the table!
[15:28] ---
    Torn fishing line...
[15:30] ---
    It was wrapped around
    the star's cord!
[15:32] ---
    Spider thread? Now I get it!
[15:35] ---
    Using this method, anyone could've
    put the cyanide in her glass!
[15:46] ---
    Was it Tateoka-san's job to
    give the water to Nakayama Eiko-san?
[15:51] ---
    No. Anybody around does it.
[15:55] ---
    Aha, so it was this person!
[16:00] ---
    Now what? The old man's gone
    just when I need him.
[16:03] ---
    Oh yeah! I know someone
    who's perfect for the role!
[16:06] ---
    I'm counting on you,
    Legendary Detective!
[16:11] ---
    Naptime already?
[16:18] ---
    Okay, Tateoka-san! You can
    explain it all down at the station!
[16:24] ---
    All the players are here,
    so let us get this 'show on the road'...
[16:31] ---
    ...and reveal the leading
    actor and director of this drama.
[16:36] ---
    You're saying someone else did it?!
[16:39] ---
    Indeed, I am.
[16:40] ---
    The killer was waiting
    for a specific moment.
[16:44] ---
    Yes. The climax, in which all eyes
    were on the two main characters.
[16:51] ---
    But wouldn't everyone have
    seen the killer add the poison?!
[16:56] ---
    This situation was
    a little different...
[17:00] ---
    The spotlight only illuminated them;
    the surroundings were dark.
[17:05] ---
    The killer waited for
    that moment of blindness.
[17:10] ---
    Dark as it was, nobody could've
    approached the table unnoticed.
[17:18] ---
    There was no reason to.
[17:21] ---
    What's with your voice?
[17:24] ---
    Nothing.
[17:26] ---
    When people concentrate on one spot,
    they become careless of others.
[17:32] ---
    Especially of what's overhead.
[17:35] ---
    Someone dripped
    the cyanide from above?
[17:37] ---
    It's possible, but unlikely.
[17:41] ---
    It would've made a sound if
    it was dripped from above.
[17:45] ---
    Plus nobody could accurately get
    it into the cup from up there!
[17:51] ---
    For a director,
    you have no imagination.
[17:55] ---
    Do you know Akutagawa Ryunosuke's
    story, "The Spider's Thread"?
[18:00] ---
    The one where Buddha tries to
    save thieves in Hell by lowering a--
[18:07] ---
    A thread!
[18:08] ---
    Yes. See the star higher up
    than the others on the ceiling?
[18:15] ---
    Wrapped around it is the
    fishing line used in the murder.
[18:20] ---
    At the end of it is a weight.
    Check it and you should find cyanide.
[18:27] ---
    The killer lowered the
    poisoned weight past the star,
[18:32] ---
    put it inside the glass,
    then pulled it back up.
[18:37] ---
    Unaware, she drank the water.
[18:41] ---
    So I'm in the clear,
    since I wasn't up there then!
[18:46] ---
    No.
[18:48] ---
    One could pull this off
    without being up above.
[18:52] ---
    But how?!
[18:54] ---
    Isn't the location of the
    victim's glass predetermined?
[18:58] ---
    I believe it's called 'marking.'
[19:02] ---
    One could do this from backstage
    by extending the line below.
[19:11] ---
    However, the line caught on
    the star's cord when pulled in.
[19:16] ---
    The raised star on the ceiling!
[19:19] ---
    So who did it, then?!
[19:23] ---
    We will find out by
    examining their hands!
[19:26] ---
    Hands?
[19:27] ---
    What's the deal, old man?
[19:29] ---
    Bah. You gonna read our
    palms to find the killer?
[19:33] ---
    The guilty party will be
    unable to show their hands!
[19:39] ---
    That's what this is?
[19:41] ---
    Alright! Everyone put their hands out!
[19:46] ---
    Geez...
[19:49] ---
    Good. Now inspect their hands.
[20:03] ---
    Sasaki Hitomi-san. What's wrong?
    Please show us your hands.
[20:12] ---
    Those marks are--
[20:14] ---
    Yes. They're from forcefully
    pulling the fishing line.
[20:18] ---
    She was probably nervous.
[20:22] ---
    After the incident,
    Mori ordered everyone to stay put.
[20:28] ---
    The fishing line you used
    should still be in your pocket.
[20:34] ---
    Why would the manager do this?
[20:36] ---
    Is it because
    I dumped you for Shoko?
[20:39] ---
    No.
[20:41] ---
    I accepted the fact
    that you chose her over me.
[20:46] ---
    But then...
[20:48] ---
    I broke up with Uda.
[20:51] ---
    He's as dumb and boring as I thought.
[20:54] ---
    You can have him back.
    Why not make up with him?
[21:00] ---
    She never cared about the play.
[21:03] ---
    She just wanted
    to steal you from me!
[21:10] ---
    Hitomi...
[21:19] ---
    Great work, Hei-san!
[21:22] ---
    I heard the rumors,
    but that 'Sleeping Kogoro logic'
[21:26] ---
    could only have come from
    Mori Kogoro-san's teacher!
[21:33] ---
    It was Mori who copied me!
[21:37] ---
    And you're even as
    shameless as he is!
[23:06] ---
    Pull yourself together.
    Are you alright?
[23:10] ---
    Huh?
[23:11] ---
    What?!
[23:12] ---
    Shiota Heihachiro Detective Agency
[23:17] ---
    What's the meaning of this?!
[23:21] ---
    Just how it looks.
[23:22] ---
    You're still unreliable, so I'll watch
    you for a while. Don't worry.
[23:30] ---
    Alright, you!
[23:32] ---
    Honey!
[23:34] ---
    You come to Tokyo to
    sightsee but don't come back!
[23:38] ---
    You cheated on me again, didn't you?!
[23:40] ---
    Cheating?!
[23:41] ---
    Please believe me!
    You're the only one I love!
[23:46] ---
    Yeah, sure! Now let's go!
