[00:02] ---
    A racing second hand,
    a glittering shooting star!
[00:03] ---
    Conan's logic is good medicine for
    hearts dried by modern society!
[00:07] ---
    Today's stage is a giant mansion!
    My rival Heiji also plays a big role!
[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 Case of the Eminent Family's
    Strange Deaths, Part 1."
[01:57] ---
    What an elegant mansion!
[02:01] ---
    I'd expect nothing less from
    the head of the Nagato Group,
[02:04] ---
    which stands equal with Sonoko's family!
[02:06] ---
    Oh, you know Miss Sonoko?
[02:09] ---
    She visited a few times
    when she was a little girl.
[02:14] ---
    "Miss" doesn't quite fit her, though.
[02:17] ---
    Why does someone that
    important want to see you?!
[02:20] ---
    He personally asked for
    the great Mori Kogoro!
[02:24] ---
    He wants me to solve a big case!
[02:27] ---
    Or make sure his wife isn't cheating.
[02:30] ---
    What was that?!
[02:33] ---
    Are you all right?!
[02:34] ---
    What are these holes around the pond?
[02:38] ---
    We plan to plant new trees
    here by the week's end...
[02:42] ---
    Pardon my lateness,
    but I am Take Kuranosuke,
[02:45] ---
    the family's butler for
    the last two generations.
[02:52] ---
    Wow! The inside is amazing, too!
[02:54] ---
    The master waits on the third floor.
[03:00] ---
    There sure are lots of guards...
[03:02] ---
    Naturally. It's a big case.
[03:07] ---
    Oh? Haven't I seen him before?
[03:14] ---
    Huh?! Find your first love?!
[03:17] ---
    Me?! The great Mori Kogoro?!
[03:20] ---
    Yes.
[03:21] ---
    Nagato Dosan (60) President of Nagato Group
[03:21] ---
    My old friend assured me you could...
[03:26] ---
    ...find her with lightning speed!
[03:28] ---
    But you didn't need to bring
    me here just to ask that...
[03:33] ---
    Too bad it wasn't a big case, huh?!
[03:38] ---
    Do you have any photos of this woman?
[03:41] ---
    No. We met during grade school.
[03:45] ---
    I don't even remember her face...
[03:48] ---
    But lately, for some reason,
    I'm reminded of how lovely she was...
[03:56] ---
    My late wife may not be
    happy to hear that, though...
[03:59] ---
    I have no photographs,
[04:01] ---
    but I do know her name
    and her later whereabouts!
[04:05] ---
    Tell them, Hyuga-kun.
[04:06] ---
    Certainly.
[04:06] ---
    Hyuga Miyuki (26) Mr. Nagato's Secretary
[04:09] ---
    Her name is Akagi Kotomi,
    from Kanagawa Prefecture.
[04:12] ---
    After graduation,
    she married at age 29.
[04:15] ---
    She and husband Yamato
    Kohei had one child,
[04:18] ---
    but all three suddenly
    disappeared five years later.
[04:21] ---
    You sure they didn't flee by night?
[04:24] ---
    Unthinkable!
[04:25] ---
    Who's this old friend who
    recommended me, anyway?!
[04:28] ---
    That would be me.
[04:30] ---
    And you are?
[04:32] ---
    He's the old friend I mentioned!
[04:34] ---
    Osaka's Chief of Police,
    Hattori Heizo-kun!
[04:38] ---
    Osaka's Chief of Police?!
[04:41] ---
    The one who's always on TV whenever
    something happens in Osaka?!
[04:44] ---
    I thought he looked familiar...
[04:47] ---
    Wait! Does that mean...?
[04:50] ---
    Heya, Kudo! How ya been?!
[04:53] ---
    Hattori Heiji?!
[04:54] ---
    Kudo?
[04:59] ---
    What? They still don't know?
[05:01] ---
    Of course not, you moron!
[05:03] ---
    By "Kudo," do you mean...?
[05:06] ---
    I said "Kuro"! As in
    "thanks for your hard work"!
[05:12] ---
    Oh, you have company, Father?
[05:15] ---
    Nagato Nobuko (39), Eldest Daughter
    Nagato Yasue (32), Second Daughter
[05:17] ---
    Oh, it's not just guests.
[05:20] ---
    A vixen is here, as well.
[05:23] ---
    I'm told you've been
    staying here recently.
[05:26] ---
    What scheme are you cooking up?
[05:28] ---
    Come, now...
[05:30] ---
    Now, now, Nobuko!
    I am unable to move!
[05:33] ---
    I need her to send notes to the office...
[05:35] ---
    A fax machine could do that!
[05:38] ---
    But it's not that simple...
[05:41] ---
    Who are these gentlemen?
[05:43] ---
    Detectives.
[05:44] ---
    Detectives?!
[05:45] ---
    Why are detectives here?
[05:47] ---
    He called them here to ask
    them to find his first--
[05:53] ---
    Nobody asked you!
[05:54] ---
    Hey, now...
[06:00] ---
    You still have that filthy pen?
[06:03] ---
    I don't care if it's your
    dad's keepsake! It's creepy!
[06:07] ---
    Better watch out, or she'll
    steal your Mitsuaki-san, too!
[06:13] ---
    Sister!
[06:16] ---
    Such rudeness!
[06:17] ---
    I apologize, Hyuga-kun.
[06:19] ---
    She's simply upset that
    she hasn't found a man yet...
[06:24] ---
    Yes, I know.
[06:26] ---
    I doubt she'll ever find one...
[06:29] ---
    Well, I should return to the office.
[06:32] ---
    Oh, Hyuga-kun. I'd like to
    make the announcement tonight,
[06:36] ---
    so if you do pity my son...
[06:39] ---
    I don't pity him at all!
    This is our fate!
[06:44] ---
    A "bond of flames" has connected
    us for a long time now...
[06:49] ---
    "Bond of flames"?
[06:55] ---
    You two were in the same kendo club?
[06:59] ---
    Yes, Nagato-san used to
    beat me down like a demon!
[07:04] ---
    Incidentally, Heizo. About the matter...
[07:07] ---
    Yes. I had the guards
    double-check, but...
[07:14] ---
    Who're you?!
[07:16] ---
    My son, Hideomi.
[07:18] ---
    His face was burned
[07:20] ---
    in an accident long ago.
[07:20] ---
    Nagato Hideomi (36) Eldest Son & Novelist
[07:22] ---
    Ever since, he's...
[07:25] ---
    I think modern plastic
    surgery could fix most of it,
[07:29] ---
    but he's against the idea.
[07:31] ---
    Yeah, it's a happy ending,
    all thanks to the accident.
[07:37] ---
    Right, Hideomi?
[07:40] ---
    Hey! Hideomi! Wait!
    What're you so mad for?
[07:49] ---
    I wish you a happy birthday, Father!
[07:53] ---
    Thank you!
[07:54] ---
    I'd appreciate it if you'd give me
    the title of president in return...
[08:02] ---
    I'm just kidding!
[08:05] ---
    I must be getting back to Osaka...
[08:08] ---
    Oh? You're not going to
    celebrate with us tonight?
[08:12] ---
    There's also the matter at hand...
[08:14] ---
    It's alright. I'll be leaving
    him in my place.
[08:19] ---
    He's still green,
    but he's got good intuition.
[08:23] ---
    I'm sure he'll be of
    use to Detective Mori!
[08:26] ---
    Use?
[08:35] ---
    Happy birthday, Father!
[08:37] ---
    Happy birthday, Sir!
[08:39] ---
    I'd like to use this opportunity
    to make an announcement.
[08:43] ---
    My son Hideomi and Hyuga Miyuki-*san
    *are engaged to be married!
[08:48] ---
    Wow!
[08:49] ---
    Is this true, Sir?
[08:51] ---
    Yes. I've been having her stay here
    so she would grow used to the house!
[08:58] ---
    Oh, so that's why!
[09:02] ---
    Oh? Where is Nobuko-ojousama going?
[09:04] ---
    Don't mind her!
[09:06] ---
    She's just the only single person left!
[09:12] ---
    Say, I don't see Hideomi...
[09:14] ---
    He's probably embarrassed.
    I'll go get him.
[09:26] ---
    Okay, Hattori! Out with it!
[09:28] ---
    Out with what?
[09:29] ---
    The real reason you brought us here!
[09:33] ---
    It's not like that!
    I just wanted to see ya!
[09:38] ---
    Liar...
[09:40] ---
    Just kidding! The truth is--
[09:45] ---
    Hello?
[09:46] ---
    This is Mitsuaki.
    Could you put my father on?!
[09:50] ---
    He's asleep at the moment.
    We're just about to leave...
[09:56] ---
    I can't find Hideomi anywhere!
[09:59] ---
    Where the heck did he--
[10:04] ---
    Mitsuaki-sama!
[10:05] ---
    What's going on?! Where are you?!
[10:07] ---
    Right below you!
[10:09] ---
    Someone cut the
    lights and attacked me with--
[10:16] ---
    Hey! Are you all right?!
[10:19] ---
    Mitsuaki-san!
    What's going on?! Mitsuaki-san!
[10:25] ---
    Hideomi-san!
[10:28] ---
    We gotta stop him!
[10:33] ---
    No... why would he...
[10:38] ---
    Damn! It's locked from the inside!
[10:41] ---
    I'll get the master key!
[10:43] ---
    Quickly!
[10:44] ---
    Yes!
[10:45] ---
    I'll check around
    outside with the guards!
[10:52] ---
    Mitsuaki-san!
    What's going on?! Mitsuaki-san!
[10:55] ---
    Detective! Here's the key!
[11:01] ---
    It's empty!
[11:02] ---
    The outside!
[11:03] ---
    Damn! He used a rope to escape!
[11:06] ---
    But where's Mitsuaki-san?!
[11:10] ---
    He's there. Down below.
[11:22] ---
    So, he fell onto the fence...
[11:25] ---
    Is it true that the killer is
    Mr. Nagato's son, Hideomi-san?
[11:30] ---
    No!
[11:32] ---
    Hideomi-san didn't do it!
    There must be some reason...
[11:38] ---
    He's still a murderer,
    whatever the reason!
[11:41] ---
    Give my Mitsuaki-san back...
[11:45] ---
    But Hideomi-san would never do this...
[11:48] ---
    Besides, we don't know
    he's the person we saw!
[11:52] ---
    Eh?!
[11:53] ---
    She's right.
[11:54] ---
    We only saw someone
    with bandages on their face.
[11:57] ---
    Bandages?
[11:58] ---
    Yes.
[11:59] ---
    Hideomi-san had burn
    scars all over his face...
[12:03] ---
    We saw the killer
    shortly after 10:00 pm,
[12:05] ---
    when everyone happened
    to be in the third-story bedroom.
[12:10] ---
    "Everyone" being...?
[12:11] ---
    Me, Heiji, Ran, Conan, Take-*san
    *the butler, and Yasue-san.
[12:21] ---
    What did you do when they left?
[12:23] ---
    I stayed in the room
    with the president.
[12:26] ---
    To think the killer prepared
    that grappling hook to escape...
[12:34] ---
    There's no question
    that the killer used it.
[12:38] ---
    It was still swaying when
    we checked around outside.
[12:42] ---
    And where's Hideomi-san?
[12:45] ---
    He's nowhere to be seen...
[12:48] ---
    We looked for him while
    the police were on their way.
[12:52] ---
    So, Hideomi-san is clearly the killer.
[12:54] ---
    That can't be!
[12:56] ---
    At any rate, we've found the
    killer's weapon, hat, and bandages.
[13:02] ---
    Analysis should prove--
[13:03] ---
    Say!
[13:05] ---
    What's this on his right hand?
    It's like he was stabbed by something.
[13:13] ---
    It's probably from the
    knife or the fence he fell on!
[13:20] ---
    Inspector!
[13:21] ---
    What is it, Takagi-kun?!
[13:23] ---
    The exterior security cameras show
    nobody leaving after the murder!
[13:30] ---
    So, the killer's...
[13:32] ---
    ...still in the mansion!
[13:35] ---
    Oh, no!
[13:36] ---
    Hey!
[13:36] ---
    The president!
[13:38] ---
    What?! He's...
[13:45] ---
    Damn! It's locked!
[13:47] ---
    Hey! Anyone in there?!
[13:50] ---
    What's all the ruckus?!
[13:52] ---
    What's with you all?
[13:55] ---
    What are you doing here?
[13:57] ---
    I came to see what all
    the noise was about.
[14:01] ---
    Where were you before then?
[14:04] ---
    I was irritated, so I
    had a drink in my room.
[14:08] ---
    Alone?
[14:10] ---
    Yes. While complaining
    to a friend on the phone.
[14:14] ---
    It must be the alcohol,
    but I can't recall who it was.
[14:17] ---
    Anyway, is it true that
    Hideomi killed Mitsuaki-san?
[14:21] ---
    Yes, most likely...
[14:23] ---
    Yeah, I figured he would eventually...
[14:29] ---
    Those two would fight every
    time they saw each other.
[14:33] ---
    They seemed to be
    friends since childhood,
[14:38] ---
    but they were like cat
    and dog after the incident...
[14:41] ---
    Incident?
[14:42] ---
    Yes. There was a big fire
    at a nearby inn twenty years ago.
[14:47] ---
    Hideomi and Mitsuaki-san,
    high-schoolers at the time, passed by it.
[14:52] ---
    Mitsuaki-san tried to stop him,
    but Hideomi plunged into the flames
[14:59] ---
    and rescued a little girl...
[15:02] ---
    Hyuga Miyuki, to be precise!
[15:05] ---
    Ah, hence the "bond of flames."
[15:10] ---
    Hideomi's face was burned as a result.
[15:13] ---
    After that, he quit school,
    shut himself in his room,
[15:16] ---
    and pretended to write novels.
[15:19] ---
    No women got near him, of course.
[15:23] ---
    She used that to make a pass at him,
[15:26] ---
    get recommended as Father's secretary,
[15:29] ---
    and even marry into the family!
[15:31] ---
    That's enough, Nobuko.
[15:34] ---
    Oh, you're awake?
[15:37] ---
    Yes, ever since everyone
    left the room in an uproar,
[15:41] ---
    though things have been fuzzy...
[15:44] ---
    Did anything strange
    happen afterward?!
[15:46] ---
    Nothing at all. Hyuga-kun stayed
    with me until Ran-san arrived.
[15:53] ---
    But this is no time to look
    for your first love now...
[15:59] ---
    No, it isn't. Please forget about that.
[16:08] ---
    Tell me already!
    Why'd you bring me here!
[16:12] ---
    Ah, that?
[16:13] ---
    Actually, the president said he
    heard strange sounds last night.
[16:18] ---
    Strange sounds?
[16:20] ---
    Yeah.
[16:21] ---
    Someone sprinting through
    the hall in the middle of the night,
[16:24] ---
    and something hitting
    something else, lots of times!
[16:28] ---
    Could it have been...?
[16:30] ---
    Yeah! Someone inside the house
[16:32] ---
    was doing something
    for tonight's murder!
[16:37] ---
    Me and my old man figured it was
    a burglar scoping the place out,
[16:42] ---
    so we brought in security and called you.
[16:45] ---
    We thought he'd show up again tonight,
[16:47] ---
    but it was a life that was taken!
[16:52] ---
    A premeditated murder...
[16:54] ---
    But doesn't it seem strange?
[16:57] ---
    That Mori Kogoro guy you
    made famous was here.
[17:02] ---
    The killer musta been really
    confident with his plan.
[17:06] ---
    Or he couldn't change his plan.
[17:10] ---
    What bothers me are the killer's
    items that were lying by the body.
[17:15] ---
    There was no need to drop the hat
    or bandages, never mind the weapon!
[17:21] ---
    And the way the killer purposely
    showed his face to us...
[17:27] ---
    Almost as if to frame Hideomi-san...
[17:30] ---
    The only one who coulda done that
    is Nobuko-san, who left beforehand!
[17:38] ---
    We then searched every nook
    and cranny of the mansion,
[17:43] ---
    but Hideomi-san was nowhere to be found.
[17:46] ---
    We were all about to give
    up two evenings later, when...
[17:53] ---
    Can't find him anywhere, Inspector.
[17:54] ---
    What?!
[17:56] ---
    It's my fault Hideomi never married?!
[17:59] ---
    So, are you saying
    he held back for me?!
[18:03] ---
    No, I just meant that he
    thought highly of you...
[18:11] ---
    Miyuki-san! Wait!
[18:13] ---
    Please stop! That pond is deep!
[18:16] ---
    But that pen is my father's
    keepsake! Without it, I...
[18:21] ---
    Drain the water, quickly!
[18:23] ---
    Yes! Right away!
[18:28] ---
    This is one filthy pond...
[18:30] ---
    Madam kept carp in it,
    but once she passed away...
[18:49] ---
    Why?! Why did this have to happen?!
[18:53] ---
    Brother! Hideo-oniisama!
[18:56] ---
    What is his estimated time of death?
[18:58] ---
    He's been dead for
    approximately 1.5 to 2 days.
[19:04] ---
    Mitsuaki-san was
    pushed off the veranda
[19:07] ---
    at 10:00 the night before last,
    44 hours ago.
[19:11] ---
    If Hideomi-san drowned himself
    in this pond before we arrived,
[19:15] ---
    everything would fit.
[19:19] ---
    However, he didn't drown to death.
[19:23] ---
    We can't be sure until the autopsy,
[19:25] ---
    but he likely ingested poison
    before entering the pond.
[19:32] ---
    The body didn't float up because
    of these rocks in his clothes.
[19:36] ---
    So, Hideomi-san carried the rocks
    into the pond and poisoned himself?!
[19:41] ---
    He probably didn't want
    anyone to see him dead.
[19:45] ---
    Still, as hostile as Hideomi-san and
    Mitsuaki-san were with each other,
[19:49] ---
    murder is a bit much...
[19:52] ---
    It's possible. Hideomi-sama and
    Yasue-ojousama were very close,
[19:59] ---
    so he was vehemently against
    her marriage with Mitsuaki-sama.
[20:06] ---
    So, he couldn't stomach the
    idea of losing his dear little sister
[20:10] ---
    to his bad friend...
[20:12] ---
    Foolish child...
[20:14] ---
    Inspector Megure! Here's the lab report!
[20:17] ---
    Read it.
[20:18] ---
    Right.
[20:19] ---
    "The marks on the knife match
    the wounds on Mitsuaki-san's arm,
[20:23] ---
    and the blood on the
    knife matches his, as well.
[20:27] ---
    The hair follicles in the hat and
    bandages belong to Hideomi-san."
[20:34] ---
    That reminds me, there was
    a meter-long grappling hook
[20:37] ---
    in Mitsuaki-san's jacket pocket...
[20:40] ---
    A grappling hook?!
[20:41] ---
    Was the cut on his right
    hand from the knife, too?
[20:45] ---
    No, it was different...
[20:46] ---
    What about the blood type
    of the saliva on the knife?!
[20:50] ---
    There wasn't any.
    Seems it was wiped off...
[20:57] ---
    Inspector! I found this
    paper in his pocket!
[21:01] ---
    "I'm not fit to marry you...
[21:04] ---
    I choose death to atone
    for the sin I committed."
[21:09] ---
    This is his will! Miyuki-san!
    It's addressed to you!
[21:14] ---
    Is it Hideomi-san's handwriting?
[21:16] ---
    Yes, it looks like it...
[21:18] ---
    I'll get some of his
    writings from his room...
[21:25] ---
    Miyuki-san! Here's
    the pen you dropped in...
[21:30] ---
    Wait--
[21:31] ---
    Let her be.
[21:33] ---
    I'll give it to her later.
[21:41] ---
    Hideomi-san...
[21:43] ---
    This pen's really been burnt...
[21:48] ---
    How odd...
[21:49] ---
    Yeah. This case is totally weird.
[21:52] ---
    Even more unnatural is that will.
[21:55] ---
    It said, "The sin I committed."
[21:58] ---
    Meaning he wrote it after the murder!
[22:02] ---
    He didn't have time to write a will then!
[22:06] ---
    Which means someone
    forged it or forced him to write it.
[22:10] ---
    Either way, there's little
    doubt that someone drowned him
[22:14] ---
    with the will after poisoning him.
[22:17] ---
    But the only time
    anyone got near the pond
[22:21] ---
    was when we all went looking for him!
[22:24] ---
    In other words, Hideomi-san had
    been murdered before it happened!
[24:01] ---
    Hey! Don't tell me
    Hideomi-san was actually...
[24:04] ---
    Yeah, right! His estimated
    time of death was...
[24:10] ---
    So, there was a way, after all!
[24:14] ---
    Say, Hattori...
[24:16] ---
    Have you ever killed someone?
[24:24] ---
    What the...?!
[24:26] ---

    The case is solved.
