[00:01] ---
    A racing second hand,
    a glittering shooting star!
[00:02] ---
    Conan's logic is good medicine
    for hearts dried by modern society!
[00:06] ---
    Today's case is a sad memory
    hidden behind bandages!
[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] ---
    During the birthday party
    of the Nagato Group president,
[01:55] ---
    Mitsuaki-san, husband of
    2nd daughter Yasue-san,
[01:58] ---
    was attacked by someone
    in the room below!
[02:01] ---
    The eldest son, Hideomi-san,
    appeared on the veranda
[02:03] ---
    with a knife in his mouth!
[02:06] ---
    We rushed to the room
    below but were too late...
[02:10] ---
    Mitsuaki-san had been
    impaled on the fence below!
[02:16] ---
    Two days later, Hideomi-san's
    body was found in the pond,
[02:20] ---
    along with his will!
[02:22] ---
    It seemed certain
    that he had done it...
[02:27] ---
    There's something
    unnatural about that will!
[02:30] ---
    In other words, Hideomi-san had
    been murdered before it happened!
[02:37] ---
    "The Case of the Eminent
    Family's Strange Deaths (Part 2)."
[02:43] ---
    What?! Nobody left?!
[02:46] ---
    None of them left the premises.
[02:49] ---
    They went inside before evening...
[02:52] ---
    Your father told us
    to be especially alert, too...
[02:54] ---
    Your father told us
    to be especially alert, too...
[02:58] ---
    There's no mistake.
[02:59] ---
    After all, we only left the front
    door for one or two minutes
[03:02] ---
    when we discovered
    the body with you.
[03:06] ---
    Hideomi-san must've used
    that chance to enter the pond
[03:10] ---
    from the other direction.
[03:12] ---
    The late Mitsuaki-san was
    the only one who went outside.
[03:16] ---
    Mitsuaki-san did?! When was this?!
[03:19] ---
    I'd say about 9:30...
[03:22] ---
    He said he was
    looking for Hideomi-san...
[03:25] ---
    He was searching all over.
    Between trees, around the pond...
[03:31] ---
    Anything strange
     about Hideomi-san lately?
[03:34] ---
    Yeah! Anything at all!
    Like, was anything bothering him?
[03:38] ---
    Not sure. He didn't talk much.
[03:42] ---
    Oh, yeah! His meals!
[03:43] ---
    His meals?
[03:45] ---
    He ate much more than usual the
    day of the murder and the day before!
[03:49] ---
    Yeah! He even ate dessert for once!
[03:53] ---
    It was surprising because
    he rarely even ate breakfast!
[03:57] ---
    Say, did Hideomi-*san
    *always wear the same bandages?
[04:01] ---
    No, Yasue-san changed
    them every three days.
[04:06] ---
    I think they were last changed
    two days before the incident...
[04:10] ---
    Wait, there was something weird!
[04:12] ---
    One of his sheets
    disappeared three days ago!
[04:14] ---
    Did you count right?!
[04:16] ---
    Yeah...
[04:17] ---
    Hey, Kudo! Come with me!
[04:20] ---
    Over here!
[04:22] ---
    Check it out.
[04:24] ---
    The bottom of Mitsuaki-san's
    and Yasue-san's veranda.
[04:27] ---
    What's that mark?
    It's like something hit it...
[04:31] ---
    And that's the veranda
    Mitsuaki-san was pushed off of...
[04:35] ---
    Hey!
[04:37] ---
    There's some here, too!
[04:41] ---
    But, there's a lot more on this one.
[04:44] ---
    Whose room is that?
[04:46] ---
    Nobuko-san's.
[04:47] ---
    Seems mighty fishy...
[04:49] ---
    Alright! Let's check it out!
[04:57] ---
    You sure about this, Kudo?!
[05:00] ---
    This makes us no different than thieves!
[05:02] ---
    It's fine!
[05:03] ---
    No, it's not fine...
[05:07] ---
    It's the phone! What do we do?!
[05:11] ---
    This is Nobuko.
[05:13] ---
    He's got some guts...
[05:16] ---
    So, what is it you want?
[05:18] ---
    Remember those drunken messages
    you left me two days ago?
[05:24] ---
    What time two days ago?
[05:26] ---
    You mean you forgot?
[05:28] ---
    You left a bunch of half-hour
    messages before 10:00 at night...
[05:34] ---
    Oh, I did?
[05:36] ---
    You don't remember,
    so never mind. Bye!
[05:42] ---
    10:00 pm two nights ago
    was when the murder happened!
[05:46] ---
    Yeah.
[05:47] ---
    That at least means the
    bandaged man on the veranda
[05:51] ---
    wasn't Nobuko-san.
[05:53] ---
    That means only
    Hideomi-san coulda done it!
[05:57] ---
    Let's look around his room for now!
[06:01] ---
    All these books!
    He was a writer, all right!
[06:05] ---
    Just look who's
    trashing the place up...
[06:09] ---
    An answering machine!
[06:11] ---
    We got some messages here!
[06:13] ---
    Really?!
[06:14] ---
    Let's listen!
[06:18] ---
    Hi! This is Yamada
    from Literature Era!
[06:21] ---
    I'll be at the usual
    place at 1:00 tomorrow
[06:23] ---
    to discuss your next manuscript!
[06:29] ---
    October 31st, 1:28 pm.
[06:35] ---
    October 31st?
    That's the day before the incident...
[06:39] ---
    This is Yamada.
    I'm at the usual coffee shop.
[06:44] ---
    November 1st, 3:04 pm.
[06:50] ---
    This is Yamada.
    I waited for six hours.
[06:53] ---
    I guess you can't come,
    so I'll be going.
[06:55] ---
    Hey! Don't tell me
    Hideomi-san was actually--
[06:59] ---
    Yeah, right! His estimated
    time of death was...
[07:05] ---
    There was a way after all!
[07:08] ---
    Yeah! And only that
    person could've done it!
[07:13] ---
    Which means...
[07:15] ---
    ...it should be here!
[07:16] ---
    If our theory is correct,
    it's probably in here...
[07:21] ---
    Bingo!
[07:23] ---
    A muddy sheet!
    Oh, and a swimming cap!
[07:27] ---
    Found what I was looking for, too!
[07:36] ---
    Here you are, Hattori-kun!
[07:39] ---
    Give Miyuki-san her pen back now!
[07:43] ---
    Sorry! I forgot!
[07:45] ---
    We're leaving now, Conan-kun.
    It's already dark out...
[07:49] ---
    What time is it?
[07:53] ---
    10 to 7:00...
[07:55] ---
    Great! The store's still open!
[07:57] ---
    Ran-neechan!
    Could you buy these for us?
[08:01] ---
    Oh, and do you know who used
    the room above Nobuko-san's?
[08:05] ---
    I am for now...
[08:08] ---
    Then, please have everyone
    come there in one hour!
[08:12] ---
    I'll watch this runt until then!
[08:14] ---
    Wait!
[08:15] ---
    Tell old man Kogoro
    to come right away!
[08:18] ---
    What's with them?!
[08:20] ---
    We put the old man to
    sleep with the tranquilizer gun...
[08:24] ---
    We had them buy everything
    we need for our theory...
[08:28] ---
    And our logic is flawless!
[08:30] ---
    But, we forgot something important...
[08:33] ---
    Yeah.
[08:35] ---
    The proof. We have no proof!
[08:37] ---
    We were so focused on our
    theory that we completely forgot...
[08:41] ---
    Hey. What time is it?
[08:44] ---
    7:40. They'll be here in ten minutes.
[08:47] ---
    Why didn't you realize it!
[08:50] ---
    Aren't you the great eastern detective!
[08:52] ---
    Shut up! You're the western...
[08:56] ---
    Wait!
[08:57] ---
    Why did that person...
[08:59] ---
    Now I see!
[09:00] ---
    So that was it!
[09:02] ---
    OK! We'll begin in
    ten minutes, as scheduled!
[09:11] ---
    What's wrong?
[09:13] ---
    Say, Hattori.
[09:16] ---
    Have you ever killed someone?
[09:25] ---
    We're here, Hattori-kun.
    What's this about?
[09:28] ---
    Huh? Where's Hattori-kun?
[09:30] ---
    It was I who called you here.
[09:33] ---
    You did?
[09:34] ---
    What's going on?
[09:36] ---
    I finally figured out
    who killed Mitsuaki-san
[09:40] ---
    and threw Hideomi-*san
    *into the pond!
[09:43] ---
    Hey, now. It was Hideomi-*san
    *who killed Mitsuaki-san!
[09:47] ---
    Then he poisoned
    himself in the pond!
[09:50] ---
    Even the handwriting
    on the will matched up with--
[09:58] ---
    The phone...
[09:59] ---
    Now, then, Inspector.
    Please pick it up.
[10:03] ---
    Do so and the tragic night
    Mitsuaki-san died on the fence
[10:09] ---
    will play out once more!
[10:17] ---
    Hello?
[10:19] ---
    Heya! It's me!
[10:20] ---
    Oh, it's just you...
[10:23] ---
    What the hell're you doing?!
[10:24] ---
    Hey! What's going on?!
[10:26] ---
    Someone cut the lights and attacked--
[10:29] ---
    Where are you?!
[10:30] ---
    The room below! Take a look!
[10:39] ---
    What the...
[10:41] ---
    What is going on?!
[10:42] ---
    I don't know!
    But we have to save him!
[10:45] ---
    Stop right there.
[10:48] ---
    This was how the killer
    drove everyone from the room...
[10:53] ---
    to hide the terrifying truth
    that happened in here afterward.
[11:10] ---
    W-Who are you?!
[11:14] ---
    It's me.
[11:16] ---
    Hattori-kun?!
[11:18] ---
    The alarming phone call
    and the knife and bandaged face
[11:25] ---
    were all an act by Mitsuaki-*san
    *to frame Hideomi-san!
[11:31] ---
    That's absurd! The killer was
    covered in Mitsuaki-san's blood!
[11:36] ---
    And there were cuts
    on Mitsuaki-san's body!
[11:39] ---
    Those cuts he made himself.
[11:43] ---
    The blood was applied to
    the bandaged face with a syringe.
[11:47] ---
    The bandages and hat
    likely belonged to Hideomi-san.
[11:51] ---
    So he wore a swimming
    cap to keep his own hairs out.
[11:55] ---
    We found the syringe and
    cap in Mitsuaki-san's room!
[11:59] ---
    But, Mitsuaki-san was the one murdered!
    Why would he do all that?
[12:04] ---
    Most likely to murder President Nagato.
[12:07] ---
    The president?!
[12:09] ---
    Yes. The same president
    his accomplice drugged.
[12:13] ---
    Accomplice?!
[12:14] ---
    That's right.
[12:16] ---
    The plan was probably for
    Mitsuaki-san to kill the president
[12:20] ---
    and return below while his
    accomplice kept everyone downstairs.
[12:25] ---
    But, he was killed
    by his accomplice instead.
[12:29] ---
    Killed by the
    person who stayed behind...
[12:32] ---
    ...you, Hyuga Miyuki-san!
[12:36] ---
    Miyuki-san did it? No way...
[12:39] ---
    Mitsuaki-san musta been shocked
[12:42] ---
    to see you on the veranda
    of the supposedly-empty room.
[12:46] ---
    So much so that he fell off!
[12:48] ---
    But, then he should've
    fallen with the knife on him!
[12:54] ---
    He likely tossed his knife, bandages,
    and hat outside before his climb.
[13:00] ---
    Mitsuaki-san planned to strangle
    the president with the grappling hook
[13:03] ---
    in his jacket pocket!
[13:05] ---
    Naturally, Miyuki-san's
    only target was Mitsuaki-san.
[13:10] ---
    Nobody would suspect
    a dead man had used a trick!
[13:15] ---
    Then what was that grappling hook?
[13:17] ---
    That's simple.
[13:20] ---
    She pulled his rope in,
    grabbed the weight on the opposite end,
[13:26] ---
    then lowered it onto the railing below.
[13:28] ---
    When she tossed the other end over...
[13:32] ---
    the weight hit the bottom of the
    veranda and it stopped on its own!
[13:37] ---
    As proof, there are marks
    on the bottom of the verandas
[13:40] ---
    in the president's room
    and Mitsuaki-san's room.
[13:44] ---
    And, on Nobuko-san's
    veranda below us.
[13:48] ---
    Miyuki-san probably tested it the
    day before to see if it was possible.
[13:54] ---
    The day before?
[13:55] ---
    Yes. The president had heard it.
[13:58] ---
    He did...
[13:59] ---
    Yes. And the sound of someone
    running through the hall.
[14:03] ---
    Those footsteps belonged to Miyuki-san,
    who was calculating the time
[14:08] ---
    to run from Mitsuaki-san's
    room to the spare key and back.
[14:12] ---
    In other words, she had planned
    this murder the day before!
[14:19] ---
    Are you saying she killed Hideomi-san, too?
    And what about the will?!
[14:24] ---
    I already told you, Inspector.
    Her only target was Mitsuaki-san.
[14:30] ---
    What?!
[14:31] ---
    The will was written by Hideomi-san,
[14:33] ---
    who committed suicide the day before.
[14:36] ---
    The day before?!
[14:38] ---
    Yes.
[14:39] ---
    Miyuki-san most likely
    found him dead in his room
[14:44] ---
    and then devised this murder!
[14:47] ---
    But, Mori-kun. The coroner
    calculated his time of death--
[14:53] ---
    The ground.
[14:55] ---
    Eh?
[14:55] ---
    If you put a body in the
    ground and deprive it of air,
[14:59] ---
    it will decay at 1/8 the normal rate.
[15:02] ---
    She probably had Mitsuaki-*san
    *help her wrap him in a sheet,
[15:06] ---
    and then they secretly buried
    him by the pond in the morning!
[15:11] ---
    There were already lots of
    holes for trees to be planted in,
[15:15] ---
    so nobody would notice an extra one.
[15:18] ---
    So, who threw him in the pond?
[15:21] ---
    Mitsuaki-san.
[15:23] ---
    He dug him up and threw him
    in there just before the murder...
[15:27] ---
    While pretending
    to look for him, of course...
[15:29] ---
    But, we saw Hideomi-*sama
    *the day of the murder...
[15:34] ---
    Nope. What you saw was a
    disguised Miyuki-san or Mitsuaki-san.
[15:41] ---
    It was clear once we
    checked his answering machine
[15:45] ---
    that he was dead
    the day before the murder!
[15:49] ---
    But, why did Mitsuaki-*san
    *go along with Miyuki-san's plan?
[15:55] ---
    She probably told him this,
[15:58] ---
    "I have a good way for
    you to take the title of president
[16:02] ---
    and place all the
    blame on Hideomi-san."
[16:06] ---
    That can't be! He saved her life!
    She couldn't possibly frame him!
[16:14] ---
    Besides, you don't even have proof!
[16:17] ---
    Do you have the time, Miyuki-san?
[16:19] ---
    What's that have
    to do with anything, Dad?
[16:23] ---
    Oh? What happened to your watch?
[16:26] ---
    Um, I just forgot to--
[16:29] ---
    No, you didn't forget to
    put it on. You can't put it on.
[16:34] ---
    Because its strap broke.
[16:39] ---
    When you pushed
    Mitsuaki-san off the veranda,
[16:41] ---
    he caught on to your watch strap.
[16:45] ---
    If he tore it off, your watch
    would land with his body.
[16:50] ---
    Flustered, you used something
    on you to stab his right hand!
[16:57] ---
    Something? Don't tell me it was...
[17:00] ---
    her pen?!
[17:02] ---
    Yes. She removed the cap
    with her mouth and stabbed him
[17:07] ---
    with her father's keepsake pen!
[17:12] ---
    But, how did you find that out?
[17:16] ---
    I took the cap off to write some
    notes and saw the tip was bent!
[17:22] ---
    Not even a fire could
    bend something like that!
[17:27] ---
    But, why would Miyuki-san do that?!
[17:31] ---
    The fire was probably the cause.
[17:33] ---
    If our theory is correct, the ones
    who started that fire twenty years ago...
[17:39] ---
    ...were Hideomi-san and Mitsuaki-san!
[17:41] ---
    What?!
[17:43] ---
    Assuming Hideomi-san didn't fix
    his burn scars to atone for his sin...
[17:51] ---
    And if there was more to his will
    in which he confessed everything...
[17:55] ---
    ...everything would fit.
[17:57] ---
    Now I see. It was revenge for
    her parents who died in the fire...
[18:02] ---
    But, one thing doesn't make sense.
[18:06] ---
    Why did you make Nobuko-*san
    *angry so we'd find Hideomi-san?
[18:11] ---
    You did that on purpose, right?
[18:13] ---
    The police would've
    found him soon enough...
[18:21] ---
    I didn't want to leave him
    in that cold water any more...
[18:29] ---
    Miyuki-san!
[18:31] ---
    Stay away!
    There's gasoline inside here!
[18:34] ---
    Hey, now! Don't do anything foolish--
[18:36] ---
    I'm serious!
[18:38] ---
    Miyuki-san...
[18:39] ---
    The detective's right! His will
    explained everything about the fire!
[18:45] ---
    They had to pay...
    The carefree Mitsuaki...
[18:51] ---
    and Hideomi-san,
    who never said a word about it...
[18:55] ---
    But, I...
[18:58] ---
    ...couldn't help but
    fall in love with him!
[19:01] ---
    He risked his life to save me!
[19:04] ---
    He always came to cheer
    me up after I lost my family!
[19:10] ---
    And he accepted my proposal!
[19:17] ---
    But Hideomi-san is gone now...
[19:21] ---
    I'm all alone again...
    I have to hurry to him...
[19:25] ---
    No!
[19:27] ---
    That's pointless.
[19:29] ---
    There's only water inside.
[19:38] ---
    Why? Why?!
[19:41] ---
    Why?! Why?! Why?!
[19:45] ---
    His fire lit so easily!
    Why won't mine?!
[19:56] ---
    Y'know, Kudo. Maybe we
    shoulda let her die after all...
[20:01] ---
    Don't be dumb.
[20:02] ---
    A detective who
    corners someone with logic,
[20:04] ---
    but lets them commit suicide,
    is no different from a murderer.
[20:08] ---
    Pains me to hear that. Only the
    "perfect" you could say such a line!
[20:15] ---
    There's no such
    thing as a perfect person.
[20:18] ---
    Even I'm just one person...
[20:22] ---
    Just one person...
[20:35] ---
    Besides, I'm sure
    "he'll" save Miyuki-san.
[20:39] ---
    "He"?
[20:40] ---
    That's enough, Hyuga-kun.
[20:43] ---
    No more foolish talk
    about following Hideomi...
[20:47] ---
    Sir!
[20:49] ---
    Your mother wasn't that sort of person.
[20:52] ---
    What would you know?!
    You never knew her!
[20:57] ---
    But I did!
[20:59] ---
    After all, that pen of yours
    is a present I gave your mother
[21:03] ---
    when she transferred to my grade school!
[21:10] ---
    It seems you thought
    it was your father's, though.
[21:14] ---
    I won't ask you to
    forgive what Hideomi did,
[21:19] ---
    but you're still young!
    Your life's just begun!
[21:23] ---
    Live strongly for Hideomi, too!
[21:26] ---
    I'm certain your
    mother wishes that as well!

    Shin-Yokohama Station
[23:04] ---
    What?!
[23:05] ---
    His first love was
    Miyuki-san's mother?!
[23:09] ---
    Yeah, probably. So he made
    up that lie to cover for her.
[23:15] ---
    I thought he lied and said,
    "Miyuki-san was with me the whole time,"
[23:20] ---
    as atonement for his son,
    but I guess it had another meaning!
[23:24] ---
    I bet he wanted to see his first love
[23:27] ---
    because he saw her
    image in Miyuki-san's face!
[23:31] ---
    Alright, Kudo. Don't tell me
    you knew that the whole time!
[23:37] ---
    You said "Kudo" again!
[23:40] ---
    Don't tell me "Kudo" means--
[23:42] ---
    No, I said, "Kudoi (annoying)!"
[23:47] ---
    This runt wanted
    details about the incident, more
[23:50] ---
    so I called him annoying!
[23:55] ---
    You're from Osaka, all right!
[23:57] ---
    I'm the Japanese king of comedy!

    Next Episode
[24:09] ---
    So, when the killer struck at
    Maejima-san with the wooden sword,
[24:15] ---
    this cell phone in
    Maejima-san's pocket rang?
[24:22] ---
    No! There's another side to this case!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan...
    "The Bank Robbery Murder Case."
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Cellphone
[24:51] ---
    Next episode's case is interesting.
[24:53] ---
    Won't answer my calls? "Cell" that phone. Lame!
[24:55] ---
    Stab.
