[00:01] ---
    My name's Conan Edogawa!
[00:02] ---
    High school student Shinichi was forced
    to take a pill that shrunk him!
[00:06] ---
    Doesn't matter if I'm small!
[00:07] ---
    My mind is that of
    a former great detective!
[00:09] ---
    Today's case takes place
    at an art museum!
[00:10] ---
    Behind the scenes is a grisly, red death!
[00:12] ---
    No matter the incident,
    there is always only one truth!
[00:15] ---
    The first end of the century in 100 years
[00:21] ---
    When told to cry, I laughed instead
[00:34] ---
    The first end of the century
    in a long, long time

[00:40] ---
    We're leaping into a wide open world
[00:46] ---
    The things I tried to
    understand as a child

[00:52] ---
    remain a mystery even as an adult
[00:58] ---
    I'm neither a hotshot
    nor especially great

[01:04] ---
    All I understand is
    the pounding of my heart

[01:11] ---
    It's neither an answer nor the truth
[01:17] ---
    All I have faith in is
    the pounding of my heart

[01:23] ---
    That and nothing else
[01:47] ---
    The Murder of the Art Museum Owner.
[01:52] ---
    Medieval Art Exhibit
[01:58] ---
    Patrolling an art museum at night
    is the last thing I wanted to do!
[02:02] ---
    You'll never make a good watchman
    with an attitude like that.
[02:07] ---
    Did you just hear something?
[02:09] ---
    P-Please don't tease me like that, sir!
[02:12] ---
    I-It came from this room...
[02:15] ---
    Who's there?!
[02:17] ---
    Is there someone in here?
[02:34] ---
    A medieval suit of armor? All by itself?
[02:37] ---
    Two watchmen saw it!
[02:39] ---
    Everyone's talking about it!
[02:41] ---
    What do you say we all go there
    right now? It sounds interesting!
[02:51] ---
    The museum obviously cooked that
    story up to bring in more visitors!
[02:56] ---
    Yeah, Ran! Only kids would fall for that!
[03:01] ---
    And you're not a kid all of a sudden?
[03:03] ---
    Well, time to get to work.
[03:05] ---
    Guess I'll do my homework.
[03:07] ---
    Not so fast!
[03:12] ---
    Coming?
[03:14] ---
    Yes!
[03:16] ---
    Ran always gets like that
    when she gets mad.
[03:19] ---
    Shouldn't have let her learn karate.
[03:37] ---
    Look at all these beautiful paintings!
[03:40] ---
    I'm so glad we came!
[03:41] ---
    Look at this! The colors are so lovely!
[03:44] ---
    I take it you like that painting, Miss?
[03:47] ---
    I, too, enjoy this painting very much.
[03:50] ---
    No, I love all of the paintings here!
[03:54] ---
    Almost as if they were my own children.
[03:56] ---
    Who might you be?
[03:59] ---
    Oh, where are my manners?
[04:01] ---
    My name is Ochiai.
    I run this art gallery.
[04:05] ---
    Oh! I should have known!
[04:08] ---
    Please enjoy your visit here.
[04:16] ---
    Kubota! What are you doing?!
[04:18] ---
    How many times have I said to wear
    gloves when handling exhibits?!
[04:23] ---
    I-I'm sorry!
[04:26] ---
    You can go.
[04:28] ---
    Iijima-kun. Please take over for him.
[04:29] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:34] ---
    As empty and quiet as ever, I see.
[04:36] ---
    Mr. Manaka...
[04:38] ---
    Ten days left until
    this place shuts down.
[04:40] ---
    Take care of all this moldy,
    old junk for me until then!
[04:47] ---
    Okay, architect. Bring the blueprints.
[04:50] ---
    Yes, sir.
[04:54] ---
    This art gallery is going
    to close for good?
[04:57] ---
    Yes. The previous owner's
    company went bankrupt
[05:00] ---
    so he sold this place
    to that Mr. Manaka.
[05:03] ---
    He sold it under the agreement
    that Mr. Manaka would keep it running!
[05:06] ---
    But then the instant he bought it,
[05:09] ---
    he said he was going
    to turn it into a hotel!
[05:15] ---
    He's carelessly handling
    another exhibit again.
[05:19] ---
    I take it you're Kubota-kun?
[05:21] ---
    I've heard about you.
[05:23] ---
    I suggest you hurry and scrape
    whatever money you can get together!
[05:30] ---
    Damn it!
[05:31] ---
    Again?!
[05:33] ---
    Please enjoy your visit.
[05:38] ---
    Why didn't he get angry again just now?
[05:42] ---
    Earth Gallery
[05:46] ---
    Sky Gallery
[05:50] ---
    Sea Gallery
[05:56] ---
    Huh?
[05:58] ---
    No entry.
[06:00] ---
    That's strange. There's supposed
    to be another room up ahead.
[06:04] ---
    Just forget about it.
    Let's hurry and get through this place.
[06:15] ---
    So tired!
[06:16] ---
    Let's go home, Ran.
[06:19] ---
    I'm starving!
[06:20] ---
    Talk about pathetic!
    Getting exhausted so easily like this!
[06:25] ---
    Huh?
[06:27] ---
    The no entrance sign is gone.
[06:31] ---
    Hey! Since we're here,
    why don't we go see the last room?
[06:37] ---
    You can go home if you want,
[06:39] ---
    but you'll have to cook
    dinner yourselves.
[06:43] ---
    That's not fair!
[06:43] ---
    That's not fair!
[06:49] ---
    Hell Gallery
[06:52] ---
    This room sure is dark...
[06:56] ---
    Well, it is the Hell Gallery.
[07:03] ---
    What a huge picture!
[07:05] ---
    It literally is a picture from Hell.
[07:08] ---
    The title is "Divine Punishment."
[07:12] ---
    It says it's a picture of a knight
    of justice sealing away a demon.
[07:25] ---
    It's Mr. Manaka, the owner!
[07:36] ---
    You again?!
[07:37] ---
    Yes, sir!
[07:39] ---
    I assure you, I haven't allowed anyone
    to touch the corpse, Inspector!
[07:45] ---
    So, did anyone see who did it?
[07:48] ---
    No. I've checked with everyone,
    but no one saw a thing...
[07:53] ---
    That security camera might
    have caught the person on tape!
[08:01] ---
    Okay, here we go.
[08:03] ---
    What a stupid murderer. Being caught
    on tape without knowing it...
[08:08] ---
    Oh? It's the owner!
[08:09] ---
    Time to come out, killer!
[08:13] ---
    Let us have a good look at your face--
[08:42] ---
    Wait a second!
[08:44] ---
    I've seen this scene somewhere before!
[08:50] ---
    It's exactly like in that painting!
[08:52] ---
    What painting?
[08:53] ---
    The picture on display
    directly across from the victim.
[08:56] ---
    The title was "Divine Punishment."
[08:59] ---
    The murderer must have
    killed him in this manner
[09:01] ---
    to make it look exactly
    like that painting.
[09:03] ---
    What a daring murderer, though.
[09:06] ---
    It would be all over if someone
    saw them wearing that around.
[09:09] ---
    Now that you mention it, there was
    a no-entry sign in front of the room.
[09:15] ---
    What now?
[09:15] ---
    Ran. That was around
    4 o'clock, wasn't it?
[09:19] ---
    But when we passed by just after 5:00,
    the sign was gone.
[09:25] ---
    The murder took place
    at approximately 4:30.
[09:27] ---
    It would seem it was the murderer
    who put the sign up.
[09:31] ---
    After doing that to keep people away,
[09:33] ---
    the murderer put the armor on
    and hid in the room.
[09:36] ---
    And then killed Mr. Manaka.
[09:40] ---
    Which means the killer was someone
    well-acquainted with the museum.
[09:44] ---
    In other words...
[09:46] ---
    ...the killer is one of you.
[09:51] ---
    Hey, look! The owner's doing something!
[09:54] ---
    Hey, you! Don't be messing with
    the tape without permission!
[09:57] ---
    Look! He's doing something
    before the killer jumped out...
[10:03] ---
    He realized something
    and took that card!
[10:06] ---
    And then the pen on top of the desk!
[10:10] ---
    He's writing something!
[10:12] ---
    He threw the pen away!
[10:13] ---
    What about the card?!
[10:14] ---
    Crumpled up in his hands!
[10:22] ---
    Does that card say what I think it might?
[10:23] ---
    It might still be in his hand!
[10:29] ---
    I found this piece of paper
    in the victim's hand.
[10:33] ---
    What's this?!
[10:34] ---
    K-Kubota!
[10:36] ---
    W-What's my name doing on that?!
[10:39] ---
    It seems you wore the armor to conceal
    your identity from the camera,
[10:43] ---
    but it also seems that
    the victim wasn't so easily fooled!
[10:46] ---
    N-No! It wasn't me!
[10:49] ---
    In that case, give us your alibi.
    Where were you at 4:30?
[10:54] ---
    I was alone in the office, doing work
    that Mr. Ochiai asked me to do...
[10:59] ---
    Yes, I did ask him to do some work.
[11:03] ---
    Then that means nobody
    saw you, doesn't it?
[11:07] ---
    Hold on! What motive would
    I have for killing the owner?!
[11:11] ---
    There's no point in trying to talk
    your way out of this, Kubota-san!
[11:13] ---
    The owner threatened
    to sue you for damages
[11:16] ---
    because you were secretly
    selling this museum's exhibits!
[11:20] ---
    Well, you see...
[11:21] ---
    Is this the truth?
[11:23] ---
    But that had nothing to do with this!
[11:26] ---
    I wasn't the one who killed him!
[11:28] ---
    If you say so.
[11:29] ---
    The truth will come to light once
    my men find the suit of armor.
[11:38] ---
    Inspector Megure!
    There's a ballpoint pen over here!
[11:42] ---
    What?
[11:44] ---
    Excellent work, my boy.
[11:48] ---
    This is quite a nice pen!
[11:52] ---
    That pen was created this year
[11:54] ---
    in celebration of Beika Art
    Museum's 50th anniversary.
[11:57] ---
    Everyone who works here has one.
[12:00] ---
    So, someone accidentally
    left it here then?
[12:12] ---
    Both colors and widths
    are exactly the same.
[12:14] ---
    This is probably the one the victim used.
[12:17] ---
    That's strange.
[12:19] ---
    Kubota-san should have known
    about the security camera,
[12:23] ---
    so why did he choose this room,
[12:25] ---
    especially if it meant wearing armor
    to conceal his identity?
[12:29] ---
    To make it look like that painting?
[12:32] ---
    No, he doesn't seem
    to have much interest in art.
[12:37] ---
    Would such a person actually
    do something like this?
[12:43] ---
    Oh, man!
[12:44] ---
    It's straight out of a horror movie!
[12:48] ---
    Hey there!
[12:50] ---
    Hey, little boy!
    You can't just barge in here!
[12:53] ---
    Inspector Megure says he wants you
    to help with something else.
[12:58] ---
    He must've figured out we really
    wanted to watch the tape.
[13:01] ---
    Well, let's get going.
[13:03] ---
    Right.
[13:15] ---
    This is where it starts!
[13:19] ---
    What's with that expression?
[13:23] ---
    What's on the card that
    he's so shocked about?!
[13:29] ---
    Why did he throw the pen away
    when he finished writing?
[13:32] ---
    The killer would have realized he
    was there if he made any sounds...
[13:36] ---
    Wait! When I found the pen...
[13:43] ---
    ...the tip was retracted!
[13:46] ---
    Something's not right!
[13:47] ---
    It's unnatural for someone
    who's about to be killed
[13:49] ---
    to retract the pen tip
    of a twist-style ballpoint pen!
[13:55] ---
    Then maybe that means...
[14:07] ---
    Take care of the rest.
[14:09] ---
    Yes, sir.
[14:12] ---
    Now, then...
[14:14] ---
    Hey!
[14:16] ---
    There's a mark on the paper!
[14:17] ---
    So, I was right.
[14:19] ---
    Now I have this trick figured out!
[14:21] ---
    Hey, you!
[14:22] ---
    What do you think you're doing?!
[14:24] ---
    Inspector! We found it!
[14:26] ---
    We found the armor
    in Kubota-san's locker!
[14:27] ---
    You found it?!
[14:31] ---
    This is crazy!
    I don't know anything about this!
[14:35] ---
    We have two major pieces
    of evidence that point to you!
[14:37] ---
    This blood-smeared suit of armor,
    and the victim's dying message!
[14:42] ---
    No! That isn't a dying message at all!
[14:47] ---
    It's a trick the killer used
    to put the blame on Kubota-san!
[14:52] ---
    That was one bloody attack.
[14:55] ---
    It's a shame that this
    work of art was ruined.
[14:57] ---
    Actually, that's a replica
    used for decoration purposes.
[15:01] ---
    I believe it was the same one
    Kubota-san was moving this afternoon.
[15:04] ---
    Oh, that one?
[15:06] ---
    Ah, so it was a replica.
[15:09] ---
    That's why the museum manager
    didn't say anything
[15:12] ---
    when he handled
    the armor so violently.
[15:15] ---
    The replica was used in the attack,
    so the real one wasn't ruined.
[15:20] ---
    It seems none of the other
    exhibits have been touched, either.
[15:24] ---
    Come to think of it,
    the wall where he was killed...
[15:30] ---
    ...had cards, but no paintings!
[15:33] ---
    The killer removed them in advance.
[15:36] ---
    To protect them from
    the blood during the attack.
[15:40] ---
    The killer really was one
    of the staff members!
[15:44] ---
    Wait a second!
[15:46] ---
    This is a trick that doesn't work
    without nulling Kubota-san's alibi.
[15:51] ---
    Which means the one behind it...
[15:56] ---
    ...must be the museum manager!
[15:59] ---
    If my conclusions are correct,
[16:01] ---
    there's a possibility
    the murderer might still have it...
[16:04] ---
    Well, Kubota-san.
[16:06] ---
    For now, you'll have to
    come down to the station.
[16:08] ---
    T-This can't be happening!
[16:15] ---
    I have to go bad!
[16:19] ---
    Bathroom! Bathroom!
[16:22] ---
    Mister! Where's the bathroom?!
[16:24] ---
    The restroom? Go out this room,
    go down the stairs on your right,
[16:28] ---
    and then--
[16:29] ---
    That's too complicated for me!
[16:31] ---
    Draw it on this!
[16:35] ---
    Hurry up!
[16:37] ---
    As I said, you go out this room...
[16:47] ---
    What's the matter, Mister?
[16:49] ---
    Why aren't you writing anything?
[16:50] ---
    Oh! You knew before writing anything
    that that pen doesn't work!
[16:56] ---
    But that's strange. Why did you have
    a pen that you knew didn't work?
[17:02] ---
    A ballpoint pen that doesn't work?!
[17:04] ---
    Hold on.
[17:05] ---
    If Mr. Manaka was also using
    a pen that doesn't work,
[17:09] ---
    then this dying message should be...
[17:13] ---
    ...blank!
[17:16] ---
    Look! There's a strange mark left behind!
[17:20] ---
    It looks like someone scribbled over
    the letters with a pen that didn't work!
[17:27] ---
    What if that mark was left behind
[17:28] ---
    because someone tried to cross
    out the letters beneath it,
[17:31] ---
    but the pen didn't work?
[17:33] ---
    Who is this boy?!
[17:36] ---
    Aha! This wasn't written
    by Mr. Manaka at all!
[17:40] ---
    It was written beforehand
    by none other than the killer!
[17:45] ---
    But then why did he take
    the card in the first place?!
[17:50] ---
    Simple.
[17:52] ---
    The killer told the owner the following--
[17:54] ---
    "Look at the card behind you!
    The name of your murderer is on it!"
[17:59] ---
    But the card had Kubota's name on it,
    not the name of the killer!
[18:04] ---
    Shocked, he tried to cross out the
    name and replace it with the real one
[18:11] ---
    using the ballpoint pen on the table.
[18:13] ---
    But he couldn't.
[18:15] ---
    That pen had been placed there
    in advance by the killer,
[18:18] ---
    and it didn't work!
[18:20] ---
    So, that's why he threw the pen away
    and tried to crumple up the paper!
[18:27] ---
    In short, this was all a trick
    to fool us, perpetrated by the killer
[18:30] ---
    using a pen without ink and
    a video tape without sound!
[18:40] ---
    But the pen we found does work.
[18:44] ---
    Wasn't the tip of that pen
    retracted when we found it?
[18:49] ---
    Yes, now that you mention it...
[18:51] ---
    Strange for someone
    who's about to be killed
[18:54] ---
    to go through all the trouble
    of retracting a pen's tip...
[18:57] ---
    So, the killer switched this pen
    with the other one after the murder,
[19:01] ---
    but carelessly forgot
    to put the pen tip out?
[19:05] ---
    Which means whoever's currently
    in possession of a pen that doesn't work
[19:10] ---
    is the one responsible!
[19:12] ---
    In other words...
[19:14] ---
    ...it was you, Mr. Ochiai!
[19:19] ---
    Let us hear your alibi.
[19:21] ---
    Where were you at 4:30
    when the murder took place?
[19:26] ---
    Mr. Ochiai...
[19:28] ---
    I was waiting to meet someone at 4:30.
[19:34] ---
    Waiting for that black-hearted demon...
[19:38] ---
    ...while inside that suit of armor!
[19:41] ---
    Everything that happened afterward
    is exactly as you said, Detective.
[19:47] ---
    Good thing everything
    was caught on tape!
[19:53] ---
    That was no accident.
[19:55] ---
    Having Mr. Manaka stand
    where he did, the timing,
[19:58] ---
    the location of the card,
    the location of the pen...
[20:03] ---
    They were all done
    according to my plan.
[20:05] ---
    I practiced here on several
    occasions, you see.
[20:09] ---
    Then the rumor about
    the security guards
[20:11] ---
    seeing the suit of armor
    walking late at night was real?!
[20:15] ---
    I felt it was a foolish thing to do,
[20:18] ---
    but I did it for the purpose
    of getting rid of Mr. Manaka,
[20:22] ---
    the demon who was going
    to shut down this divine museum
[20:26] ---
    and take away from me all of these
    exhibits that are like my own children.
[20:32] ---
    And then there was Kubota-kun,
    who went and sold some of my exhibits.
[20:36] ---
    I wanted to punish you as well.
[20:39] ---
    It appears to be different
    from the picture, Mr. Ochiai.
[20:41] ---
    It seems you've been struck down
    by divine punishment as well.
[20:45] ---
    No, it is exactly like the painting.
[20:48] ---
    Although the knight of justice
    has slain the demon,
[20:52] ---
    he has also been covered
    in its evil blood,
[20:55] ---
    which will soak into him
    and make him wicked in turn.
[21:01] ---
    No matter how you look at it,
    I am a murderer.
[21:04] ---
    I, too, have become a demon.
[21:08] ---
    The fact that I was unable to deceive
    the small knight of justice
[21:11] ---
    is proof enough of this!
[21:13] ---
    The small knight of justice?
[21:16] ---
    Say, little boy. Do you not need
    to go to the restroom anymore?
[21:53] ---
    Just my imagination
[21:56] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea

[22:07] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm

[22:15] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[22:21] ---
    That's right...
[22:26] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes

[22:37] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious

[22:44] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh

[22:51] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me

[23:00] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[23:11] ---
    Eh? The art museum's not
    going to close after all?
[23:14] ---
    Nope. The citizens all got together
    after they heard what happened.
[23:18] ---
    That's good. We don't have many
    cultural spots around here, after all.
[23:22] ---
    I'm getting sick of this.
[23:25] ---
    Sick of what, Genta-kun?
[23:28] ---
    It's always Conan
    and that old man Kogoro!
[23:31] ---
    We never get to help out at all!
[23:34] ---
    Uh, that's because--
[23:36] ---
    Oh yeah!
[23:36] ---
    Have you heard the story at school
[23:38] ---
    about the biology room skeleton
    coming to life at midnight?
[23:41] ---
    Yeah, I've heard about that!
[23:43] ---
    One of the teachers saw it!
[23:44] ---
    But the heart was still...
[23:45] ---
    Okay! This is a case that calls
    for the Junior Detective Club!
[23:49] ---
    Let's break into school later tonight!
[23:52] ---
    Hey, now...
[23:54] ---
    Conan! You better come too!
[23:56] ---
    Give me a break!
[24:12] ---
    There's no doubt about it!
    He's the murderer!
[24:15] ---
    But what's with that big smile?!
[24:18] ---
    Just what sort of alibi does
    he have in that camera?!
[24:23] ---
    Look! I took this!
[24:25] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    The Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder.
[24:37] ---
    
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Disposable Camera.
