A racing second hand,
a shooting comet!
**[00:02] ---**
Let's heal hearts dried by modern
society with Conan's logic!
**[00:06] ---**
Today's case is the world of acting!
**[00:08] ---**
Bloodlust behind the glitter!
**[00:10] ---**
He sees the single
truth for what it is,
**[00:12] ---**
and looks like a kid but
has the mind of an adult!
**[00:14] ---**
His name? Detective Conan!

**[01:52] ---**
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!
**[23:50] ---**
Come on!
**[23:54] ---**
Guess he gets his women skills
from his teacher, too.
**[24:01] ---**
My father hasn't revealed
the Night Baron's identity yet,
**[24:06] ---**
but whoever's using
his name is in here...
**[24:10] ---**
My father's a detective!
**[24:15] ---**
Looks like Dad's famous!
**[24:19] ---**
The Night Baron!
