**[00:00] ---**
**[00:01] Conan**
*As I was warning FBI investigator Jodie*
**[00:04] Conan**
* that Organization member*
* Amuro Toru, codename Bourbon,*
**[00:07] Conan**
*was investigating Kusuda Rikumichi,*
**[00:10] Conan**
* we were informed her friend Shibuya*
* Natsuko-san was pushed down some stairs.*
**[00:17] Conan**
*We hurried to the crime scene,*
**[00:19] Conan**
*and found she was attacked not at the stairs,*
**[00:22] Conan**
* but at the elementary*
* school where she worked.*
**[00:25] Conan**
* Three suspects were called*
* in for questioning.*
**[00:28] Conan**
*And then...*
**[00:33] Amuro**
She asked me to investigate her stalker.
**[00:37] Conan**
*Bourbon?!*
**[00:39] Amuro**
Are you two English teachers or something?
**[00:45] Takagi**
Actually, they're FBI agents.
**[00:49] Takagi**
They're helping us with the investigation.
**[00:52] Amuro**
Really?
**[00:54] Amuro**
FBI, huh?
**[00:57] Amuro**
The USA's Federal Bureau of Investigation.
**[01:01] Amuro**
I see you guys in movies
and TV shows all the time.
**[01:05] Amuro**
Their investigators show up at crime
scenes to steal all the credit,
**[01:11] Amuro**
smugly interfere with the investigation,
offend the local police, and irritate the viewer.
**[01:16] Camel**
What?!
**[01:18] Amuro**
I'm not talking about you.
**[01:22] Amuro**
That's just the story I happened to see.
**[01:24] Camel**
*This kid...*
**[01:26] Camel**
*These guys tried to...*
**[01:31] Jodie**
Camel.
**[01:33] Jodie**
Calm down.
**[01:34] Jodie**
We don't want him to know the FBI knows
he's a member of the Organization.
**[01:39] Camel**
Yeah...
**[01:48] Conan**
Propelled forward by the
years spent together.
**[01:50] Conan**
Charging full speed ahead
without slowing the pace.
**[01:52] Conan**
Amuro says something strange, but the
mystery of the answer sheets comes first!
**[01:55] Conan**
Always determining the one truth with the
body of a child and the mind of an adult,
**[01:59] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!
***SIGN*** The Scarlet Pursuit
**[03:41] Conan**
The Scarlet Pursuit!
**[03:47] Sugamoto**
Like I said...
**[03:50] Sugamoto**
I really was organizing the gym's
storage until after 8:30 last night.
***SIGN*** Sugamoto Yoshiharu (30)
Elementary School Teacher
**[03:56] Sugamoto**
It was late, so I came to the staff office to
walk Shibuya-sensei home, but she wasn't here.
**[04:04] Takagi**
Had you agreed earlier to take her home?
**[04:08] Sugamoto**
Uh, no.
**[04:09] Sugamoto**
I just thought she'd feel safer going
home at night with a man around.
**[04:14] Amuro**
You once confessed your feelings for
Shibuya-sensei, and she rejected you.
**[04:22] Sugamoto**
Sh-She told you?!
**[04:24] Amuro**
No, I heard from the other teachers
**[04:28] Amuro**
when I came here to investigate
Shibuya-sensei's stalker.
**[04:35] Amuro**
You were my prime suspect.
**[04:38] Jodie**
Are you Natsuko's stalker?
**[04:42] Sugamoto**
No, it's not me!
**[04:43] Sugamoto**
I protected her from bad guys!
**[04:47] Jodie**
Protected her?
**[04:48] Sugamoto**
Yes.
**[04:49] Sugamoto**
I sort of escorted her home every day.
**[04:55] Sugamoto**
Rather, I made sure she didn't
notice me and watched over her.
**[05:03] Sugamoto**
It was so cute when she'd
sense me and look around.
**[05:10] Sugamoto**
I knew I had to protect her.
**[05:13] Jodie**
That's what you call a stalker!
**[05:16] Megure**
Could she have pointed this
out and made you angry?
**[05:19] Sugamoto**
N-No! She really wasn't here after 8:30!
**[05:26] Sugamoto**
Besides, didn't she have graded
answer sheets inside her bag?
**[05:31] Sugamoto**
As a fellow teacher, I know she's
not supposed to take those home!
**[05:37] Ueno**
Answer sheets?
***SIGN*** Ueno Akiyo (39)
Child's Guardian
**[05:39] Ueno**
Oh, yes. When I met her last
night, she was grading them.
**[05:45] Ueno**
Perhaps she was only
half-listening to my warning.
**[05:49] Megure**
I see.
**[05:50] Megure**
You mentioned you met with Shibuya-sensei
to ask her not to seduce your son.
**[05:57] Megure**
What grade is he in?
**[05:58] Jodie**
He's probably a first grader like Conan-kun.
**[06:03] Jodie**
Natsuko mentioned she'd become the
homeroom teacher for class 1-C.
**[06:08] Takagi**
A first grader falling in
love with his teacher?
**[06:11] Takagi**
Sounds cute.
**[06:13] Ueno**
Are you out of your mind?
**[06:16] Takagi**
O-Out of my mind?
**[06:19] Ueno**
I warned her to be more modest precisely
because he's still an impressionable child!
**[06:26] Ueno**
Also, my child is in the
fifth grade, not the first!
**[06:31] Megure**
What?
**[06:32] Takagi**
He had a crush on a different
class's homeroom teacher?
**[06:35] Sugamoto**
Shibuya-sensei is fluent in English
because she studied in the United States.
**[06:41] Sugamoto**
She teaches English to
the upper grade levels, as well.
**[06:45] Megure**
I see.
**[06:47] Ueno**
It's just like my ex-husband.
**[06:49] Ueno**
He spent his money on a
half-girl he met at a bar.
**[06:52] Ueno**
After taking all his money,
she abandoned him.
**[06:54] Ueno**
I don't want my son to
follow in his footsteps.
**[06:59] Ueno**
But everyone around me is
trying to corrupt him...
**[07:05] Jodie**
C-Corrupt him?
**[07:06] Ueno**
I'm sorry, but could I borrow a handkerchief?
**[07:10] Ueno**
I forgot mine in the taxi on the way here.
**[07:13] Camel**
Y-You're welcome to use mine.
**[07:16] Ueno**
Thank you.
**[07:17] Jodie**
The taxi?
**[07:18] Jodie**
You don't own a car?
**[07:20] Ueno**
I had to sell it to pay
off my husband's debts.
**[07:24] Ueno**
I still renew my license, though.
**[07:28] Takagi**
Y-Your car was stolen?!
**[07:32] Kandachi**
Yeah.
**[07:33] Kandachi**
When I tried to go to work this morning,
***SIGN*** Kandachi Fujiyuki (41)
Child's Guardian
**[07:36] Kandachi**
my garage door was broken, and my car was gone.
**[07:39] Takagii**
Did you report it?
**[07:41] Kandachi**
Yeah, immediately.
**[07:42] Kandachi**
I had to take the train
to work and a bus here.
**[07:47] Kandachi**
Now I'm suspected of murder, too.
**[07:50] Kandachi**
It's a huge nuisance.
**[07:51] Jodie**
Natsuko is still alive.
**[07:53] Kandachi**
What?
**[07:54] Sugamoto**
H-Hey, you can't smoke in here!
**[07:57] Kandachi**
I see.
**[07:58] Takagi**
You said you came here
before nine last night.
**[08:02] Kandachi**
Yeah.
**[08:03] Kandachi**
Like I said, the school was
dark and the gate was locked.
**[08:08] Kandachi**
It was probably after that stalker or
old woman got her and took her away.
**[08:15] Megure**
It's possible you took her away
**[08:20] Megure**
after Ueno-san left and
before Sugamoto-san arrived.
**[08:23] Kandachi**
I guess so.
**[08:24] Kandachi**
Anyway, I came at the appointed
time, but she wasn't here.
**[08:30] Megure**
So your appointment with
Shibuya-sensei was around nine?
**[08:34] Kandachi**
Yeah.
**[08:35] Takagi**
But there was an unsent message
on Shibuya-sensei's phone reading,
**[08:41] Takagi**
"We're meeting at 8:30. Can you still come?"
**[08:44] Takagi**
Wasn't this meant for you?
**[08:46] Kandachi**
I don't know.
**[08:48] Kandachi**
If you're asking, then there
must not have been an addressee.
**[08:52] Kandachi**
Maybe it was meant for the old lady,
and she arrived while she was writing it.
**[08:59] Kandachi**
Even if it were for me,
**[09:02] Kandachi**
the equations filling her head with
numbers must have confused her.
**[09:07] Kandachi**
It sounds like she was grading tests.
**[09:14] Megure**
So these are the answer sheets in question.
**[09:16] Takagi**
Yes.
**[09:18] Takagi**
Forensics has them right now,
so all we have are photos.
**[09:24] Megure**
They may be simple problems, but all
these numbers could confuse a person.
**[09:31] Kandachi**
Right?
**[09:33] Jodie**
But what Natsuko said was true.
**[09:36] Megure**
What?
**[09:37] Jodie**
Look.
**[09:37] Jodie**
That drawing on the top right.
**[09:40] Jodie**
In America, they write "excellent"
on tests that score 100.
**[09:45] Jodie**
But in Japan, they draw flower circles.
**[09:48] Megure**
I see...
**[09:49] Amuro**
Is that all?
**[09:50] Jodie**
What?
**[09:51] Amuro**
Is that all, FBI?
**[09:54] Jodie**
What do you mean?
**[09:55] Amuro**
What about you, German?
**[09:58] Amuro**
I'm asking if that's all you
can deduce from this photo.
**[10:08] Camel**
Well, in Japan they draw flower
circles for correct answers.
**[10:11] Camel**
The answer sheet on top
must be graded correctly.
**[10:19] Amuro**
It looks like we're the only ones who noticed.
**[10:23] Both**
We?
**[10:25] Amuro**
Isn't that right,
**[10:27] Amuro**
Edogawa Conan-kun?
**[10:29] Conan**
Huh? What do you mean?
**[10:31] Amuro**
After you saw the photo,
you started staring right at the culprit.
**[10:37] Takagi**
What? Then...
**[10:38] Megure**
You know who did it?
**[10:40] Amuro**
Yes, more or less.
**[10:42] Amuro**
But it's finally clear now.
**[10:46] Amuro**
I always wondered why she hired a
detective to investigate her stalker
**[10:54] Amuro**
when her friend works for the FBI.
**[10:58] Jodie**
What do you mean?
**[11:00] Jodie**
Are you calling me unreliable?
**[11:02] Camel**
M-Maybe she couldn't ask.
**[11:05] Camel**
We're here on vacation.
**[11:08] Amuro**
On vacation, huh?
**[11:10] Amuro**
If you don't have visas,
you must not have many days left.
**[11:16] Amuro**
If you're finished enjoying the sights,
I wish you'd get out...
**[11:23] Amuro**
...of my Japan.
**[11:27] Conan**
Hey, Zero.
**[11:30] Conan**
I mean, Amuro-no-niichan... Come here.
**[11:38] Conan**
Listen, you're an enemy, right?
**[11:45] Conan**
Of the bad guys...
**[11:56] Amuro**
Zero.
**[11:58] Amuro**
My childhood nickname really was Zero.
**[12:04] Amuro**
You seem to have the wrong idea about me.
**[12:10] Conan**
*Th-The wrong idea?*
**[12:19] Amuro**
Now let's solve this mystery.
**[12:23] Amuro**
First, look closely at the
photo of the answer sheets.
**[12:29] Amuro**
Notice anything?
**[12:33] Conan**
*The wrong idea?*
**[12:35] Conan**
*The insight to instantly see the truth.*
**[12:39] Conan**
* The way he didn't eliminate*
* Haibara on the Bell Tree Express.*
**[12:44] Conan**
*His attitude contrary to his nickname "Zero."*
**[12:50] Conan**
* And the clincher is what he just*
* said to those FBI investigators.*
**[12:57] Amuro**
*I wish you'd get out...*
**[13:00] Amuro**
*...of my Japan.*
**[13:03] Conan**
*That conviction.*
**[13:05] Conan**
* "Zero" is the nickname given to the*
* organization that "doesn't exist."*
**[13:11] Conan**
*Protectors of Japan's safety and order.*
**[13:15] Conan**
*The Security Police.*
**[13:18] Conan**
*If he's an SP infiltrating the organization,*
**[13:21] Conan**
* I thought he'd help us avoid the worst*
* if we explained our situation.*
**[13:26] Conan**
*But if he's not,*
**[13:29] Conan**
*that plan we worked so hard on...*
**[13:35] Conan**
*What are you going to do, Akai-san?*
**[13:39] Conan**
*Do you feel like taking a gamble?*
**[13:43] Akai**
*Of course.*
**[13:47] Conan**
*He'll find out.*
**[13:49] Conan**
*No, calm down.*
**[13:52] Conan**
*He doesn't know yet.*
**[13:54] Conan**
* There's still one thing*
* he can't possibly know.*
**[13:58] Conan**
* He'll definitely do something*
* to find out, though.*
**[14:02] Conan**
*But what?*
**[14:10] Megure**
I give up, Amuro-kun.
**[14:12] Megure**
Tell us. What's wrong
with these answer sheets?
**[14:17] Amuro**
Look closely at the answers on the top
sheet and the one hidden below it.
**[14:25] Amuro**
Take 4+5, for instance.
**[14:27] Amuro**
Both answers are 9,
**[14:29] Amuro**
but the top sheet is marked with a
circle and the other with a cross.
**[14:32] Amuro**
And Hirai Umihiko's answer
sheet is covered with crosses,
**[14:37] Amuro**
but it's scored 100 with a flower circle.
**[14:40] Amuro**
Don't you find it strange?
**[14:42] Megure**
I-Indeed...
**[14:45] Conan**
*Wait.*
**[14:46] Conan**
*Hold on.*
**[14:47] Conan**
* There's no way the FBI and*
* Organization agent Bourbon*
**[14:51] Conan**
*would meet at a crime scene by chance.*
**[14:54] Conan**
*This happened because...*
**[14:59] Conan**
Jodie-sensei.
**[15:06] Jodie**
What?
**[15:07] Conan**
Why did you call Shibuya-sensei last night?
**[15:10] Jodie**
We were supposed to go drinking.
**[15:13] Conan**
Who invited who?
**[15:15] Jodie**
She e-mailed me.
**[15:17] Jodie**
It's strange, though.
**[15:18] Jodie**
Natsuko said she didn't remember sending it.
**[15:21] Jodie**
But the message was on her phone,
and she can be pretty forgetful.
**[15:27] Conan**
Investigator Camel, you lent her your
phone because hers was dead, right?
**[15:33] Camel**
Yeah.
**[15:34] Jodie**
I charge it every night, but I use it a
lot, so it's usually dead by evening.
**[15:41] Conan**
That's bad. Maybe...
**[15:44] Jodie**
Maybe what?
**[15:45] Amruo**
Right, Investigator Jodie Starling?
**[15:48] Jodie**
What?
**[15:49] Amuro**
Please pay attention.
**[15:52] Amuro**
I'm trying to reveal who did
that to your teacher friend.
**[15:58] Amuro**
In Japan, we circle correct answers
and mark wrong answers with crosses.
**[16:04] Amuro**
But in America, they mark
correct answers with crosses.
**[16:09] Both**
What?!
**[16:11] Amuro**
Isn't that right, Investigator Jodie?
**[16:13] Jodie**
Yes.
**[16:14] Jodie**
But they're not crosses. They're check marks.
**[16:17] Jodie**
Japan marks correct answers
with checks as well.
**[16:21] Jodie**
It's the same thing.
**[16:23] Takagi**
B-But why are the wrong answers circled?
**[16:26] Jodie**
They mean the answer is wrong,
so you should review the problem.
**[16:30] Jodie**
Not every teacher circles
wrong answers, though.
**[16:35] Jodie**
Does this mean the bottom sheet is Natsuko's,
**[16:41] Jodie**
and the one on top was graded
by a Japanese culprit?
**[16:46] Amuro**
Yes.
**[16:47] Amuro**
And aren't the circles on the top sheet rather
warped and sticking out from the answer spaces?
**[16:54] Megure**
Yes, but why?
**[16:57] Amuro**
Probably because the culprit was clumsy.
**[17:01] Amuro**
Or was trying to hide something
red with a red pen.
**[17:06] Jodie**
B-Blood!
**[17:07] Camel**
That's it!
**[17:09] Camel**
When the culprit struck her,
her blood got on the ungraded sheets.
**[17:15] Camel**
When he used the red pen to
hide it, it warped his circles.
**[17:22] Amuro**
Correct.
**[17:23] Amuro**
The question is which of
those three people did it.
**[17:28] Megure**
You know who it is, don't you?
**[17:32] Amuro**
Of course.
**[17:33] Amuro**
It's simple, isn't it, Conan-kun?
**[17:35] Conan**
Huh? Oh, yeah.
**[17:37] Conan**
It's the flower circles.
**[17:39] Conan**
It's obvious who drew the flower
circles when you look at the photo.
**[17:45] Both**
Th-The flower circles?
**[17:46] Conan**
Yeah.
**[17:47] Conan**
Compare Shibuya-sensei's flower
circle with the culprit's.
**[17:53] Conan**
The swirls go in opposite directions.
**[17:56] Takagi**
Y-You're right!
**[17:58] Takagi**
The culprit's is counter-clockwise!
**[18:01] Takagi**
Normally they're clockwise, right?
**[18:03] Megure**
Yeah.
**[18:04] Conan**
That means the culprit isn't Sugamoto-sensei
who wiped his sweat with his right hand,
**[18:12] Conan**
or Ueno-san, who accepted Camel-san's
handkerchief with her right hand,
**[18:16] Conan**
but Kandachi-san, who used his left
hand to turn on his lighter, right?
**[18:26] Megure**
I see.
**[18:28] Megure**
A left-handed person's swirl
would be counter-clockwise.
**[18:32] Kandachi**
B-But...
**[18:33] Kandachi**
I'm left-handed, but I draw my
flower circles from the inside.
**[18:38] Kandachi**
I didn't draw those flower—
**[18:40] Amuro**
No.
**[18:42] Amuro**
On both flower circles, the line tapers
off on the inside of the swirl.
**[18:47] Amuro**
That proves they were drawn from the outside.
**[18:49] Amuro**
Besides, didn't you say
she got the time confused...
**[18:53] Amuro**
...because her head was full of numbers?
**[18:59] Amuro**
A grade school teacher
teaches other subjects,
**[19:02] Amuro**
so how did you know she
was grading math tests?
**[19:07] Amuro**
Tell us if you've got an answer other
than, "I saw it at the crime scene."
**[19:19] Kandachi**
Sh-She laughed.
**[19:21] Kandachi**
When I yelled at her for grading wrong, she
said it was a habit from her time in America.
**[19:28] Megure**
So you struck her?
**[19:29] Kandachi**
I didn't know Japan and
America grade differently!
**[19:34] Jodie**
Natsuko was wrong for not
grading Japanese style,
**[19:39] Jodie**
but shouldn't you have understood
if you saw the answer sheets?
**[19:42] Kandachi**
I was so angry, I couldn't think...
**[19:45] Takagi**
So your stolen car...
**[19:47] Kandachi**
I lied.
**[19:49] Kandachi**
I didn't want cops to find her hair in my
car, so I asked a friend to hold onto it.
**[19:54] Teacher B**
E-Excuse me!
**[19:56] Teacher B**
The hospital just called!
**[19:58] Teacher B**
Shibuya-sensei's condition has
worsened, and her life is in danger!
**[20:03] Jodie**
*N-Natsuko!*
**[20:22] Camel**
What are you doing here?
**[20:23] Camel**
You've concluded your business.
**[20:26] Amuro**
She's still my client.
**[20:31] Amuro**
Besides...
**[20:34] Amuro**
You look like you'd let your tongue slip.
**[20:37] Camel**
What?
**[20:39] Jodie**
*Natsuko, please!*
**[20:43] Jodie**
*Don't die!*
**[20:44] Jodie**
Natsuko!
**[20:47] Natsuko**
Jodie, you came.
**[20:50] Jodie**
Y-Yes.
**[20:51] Natsuko**
I'm surprised you knew I
regained consciousness.
**[20:55] Jodie**
What?
**[20:56] Natsuko**
It's partially my fault this happened,
so I asked them not to tell the school.
**[21:04] Conan**
*This is bad!*
**[21:05] Conan**
Jodie-sensei!
**[21:07] Conan**
Where's Investigator Camel?
**[21:08] Jodie**
What? Probably with the car.
**[22:33] Camel**
Kusuda Rikumichi?
**[22:35] Camel**
Don't know him.
**[22:38] Amuro**
He was a patient at this hospital.
**[22:40] Amuro**
He abandoned his car nearby and disappeared.
**[22:44] Amuro**
I think there's a gun involved.
**[22:47] Amuro**
Have you heard anything?
**[22:50] Camel**
Who knows?
**[22:51] Amuro**
Oh, right.
**[22:53] Amuro**
