    Conan's logic is good medicine

[00:10] ---
    He sees the single
    truth for what it is,
[00:12] ---
    and looks like a kid but

    Abduction Case (Part 1)."
[02:25] ---
    Here it goes!
[02:29] ---
    Okay! Now, let's hide!
[02:32] ---
    Genta just had to kick it so hard...
[02:38] ---
    A high schooler
    playing Kick-the-Can?
[02:40] ---
    And here, of all places?
[02:44] ---
    What's with this crowd, anyway?
[02:46] ---
    Oh! Conan-kun!
[02:49] ---
    What are you doing here?
[02:51] ---
    What are you guys doing here?
[02:54] ---
    A concert!
[02:56] ---
    We came to see
    a concert at the Budokan!
[02:59] ---
    Why the flowers?
[03:01] ---
    Oh, these?
[03:02] ---
    The concert starts at 6:00,
[03:04] ---
    but we thought we might
    meet them if we came early...
[03:07] ---
    Because musicians usually show
    up six hours before concerts!
[03:13] ---
    Who's "them"?
[03:14] ---
    Oh, come on! The two
    from Two-Mix, obviously!
[03:18] ---
    Two-Mix?
[03:21] ---
    You never heard of them?!
[03:22] ---
    It's the super-famous team of
    Takayama Minami and Nagano Shiina!
[03:27] ---
    Oh, that gaudy dance-music group?
[03:31] ---
    That hurt!
[03:32] ---
    Don't talk all big when
    you never even listen to 'em!
[03:35] ---
    Now, now! Conan-kun is still a kid!
[03:39] ---
    Besides, remember
    when we took him to karaoke?
[03:43] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[03:45] ---
    ...he did sing pretty off-key...
[03:49] ---
    Yep!
[03:50] ---
    Just like someone else, he doesn't
    seem that interested in music.
[03:54] ---
    So, he doesn't get how good they are...
[03:59] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[04:00] ---
    Alright, Conan-kun!
[04:02] ---
    What're you doing?
[04:04] ---
    Please play seriously!
[04:06] ---
    Sorry!
[04:06] ---
    See you later!
[04:08] ---
    Yeah.
[04:09] ---
    Don't go with strangers!
[04:11] ---
    We won't!
[04:11] ---
    Don't worry! I'm here!
[04:13] ---
    You're the biggest worry of all!
[04:15] ---
    Bye!
[04:17] ---
    There sure are a lot of people...
[04:20] ---
    Where are they going?
[04:22] ---
    Some Two-Mix concert.
    Said they're gonna give 'em a bouquet--
[04:27] ---
    For reals?!
[04:28] ---
    The Two-Mix?!
[04:29] ---
    The ones who did the
    Masked Yaiba theme song?!
[04:32] ---
    Oh, man! Not them, too...
[04:35] ---
    Hey! Let's go check it out, too!
[04:38] ---
    Let's!
[04:39] ---
    Maybe we can get autographs!
[04:40] ---
    Oh, geez...
[04:42] ---
    Let's hurry!
[04:43] ---
    Yeah!
[04:48] ---
    Ow!
[04:50] ---
    I'm so sorry, kids!
[04:52] ---
    Watch where
    you're walking, Mister!
[04:56] ---
    You're...
[04:58] ---
    ...Two-Mix's Takayama Minami!
[05:03] ---
    Did she say Takayama?
[05:05] ---
    Takayama Minami?!
[05:06] ---
    No way!
[05:16] ---
    Say, kiddos! Ya hungry? My treat!
[05:22] ---
    Great! Let's go!
[05:25] ---
    Eat all ya want!
[05:28] ---
    Guess that wasn't her...
[05:29] ---
    Yeah.
[05:32] ---
    This looks good!
[05:34] ---
    Thanks for the food!
[05:42] ---
    This is delicious!
[05:45] ---
    Hey, what happened to
    not going with strangers?
[05:49] ---
    Geez... They ordered
    all the expensive stuff...
[05:52] ---
    You're not having any,
    Minami-chan?
[05:57] ---
    Nah! I'm not that hungry!
[06:01] ---
    I should've brought more money...
[06:03] ---
    But, is this okay? Don't you need
    to tune up before the show?
[06:08] ---
    Yeah, but my partner,
     Shiina-kun, hasn't shown up,
[06:14] ---
    and there's no answer
    on his cell phone...
[06:16] ---
    So, I snuck outside to
    look around for him.
[06:21] ---
    Why don't you try
    calling him from here?
[06:24] ---
    I'd like to, but I forgot
    my own phone at the office.
[06:28] ---
    And that guy's been on
    the pay phone for a while...
[06:32] ---
    Talk about bad luck...
[06:34] ---
    Yup.
[06:37] ---
    I've been having
    lots of bad luck lately...
[06:40] ---
    How so?
[06:41] ---
    Like, my office locker
    getting broken into,
[06:45] ---
    or marks from someone
    picking my lock at home...
[06:49] ---
    And prank calls every day!
[06:51] ---
    Some strange man who
    says just one thing:
[06:55] ---
    "Don't sing."
[07:00] ---
    Do you think it's a stalker?
[07:02] ---
    It is a case of foul harassment!
[07:04] ---
    This is a job for...
[07:06] ---
    ...the Junior Detective League!
[07:09] ---
    Thanks...
[07:11] ---
    Consider this meal my payment...
[07:14] ---
    Say, when did
    this harassment start?
[07:18] ---
    Hmm, last Sunday, I think...
[07:22] ---
    Just after my live radio broadcast...
[07:24] ---
    I heard that broadcast!
[07:26] ---
    So did I!
[07:27] ---
    You played part of a demo
    tape of your new song, right?
[07:31] ---
    Demo tape?
[07:33] ---
    I can let you hear it all,
    if you'd like!
[07:36] ---
    Really?!
[07:38] ---
    Here it is! The only demo
    tape of it in the world!
[07:56] ---
    What did you think?!
[07:57] ---
    The lyrics and music were cool!
[08:00] ---
    How about you?
[08:02] ---
    It doesn't have any
    strange voices or sounds...
[08:04] ---
    How rude! Of course it doesn't!
[08:07] ---
    Doesn't seem the harassment
    is because of this tape.
[08:10] ---
    So, what did you think?
[08:13] ---
    I guess it was okay...
[08:15] ---
    Ah! I figured it out!
[08:19] ---
    You already solved the case?
[08:21] ---
    No! It's their voices!
[08:24] ---
    Something kept bugging me,
[08:27] ---
    but Minami-san and
    Conan-kun sound just alike!
[08:32] ---
    Yeah, right!
[08:32] ---
    Yeah, right!
[08:34] ---
    They do!
[08:35] ---
    Like two geese in a pond!
[08:37] ---
    You mean two peas in a pod!
[08:40] ---
    Maybe you can stand in
    for me whenever I get a cold!
[08:46] ---
    That's a bad idea.
    Conan-kun is tone-deaf!
[08:52] ---
    That's all I'm hearing today...
[08:55] ---
    Aw, man. He's still on the phone.
[08:58] ---
    You can use this!
[09:00] ---
    Here!
[09:03] ---
    What is this?
[09:04] ---
    What a gaudy earring...
[09:06] ---
    It's an Earring Cell Phone!
[09:09] ---
    My friend, Professor Agasa,
    made it for me!
[09:13] ---
    So, I put it on my ear, right?
[09:16] ---
    No, you dial the number before you--
[09:19] ---
    Takayama-sama!
[09:21] ---
    Is there a Takayama-sama here?
[09:24] ---
    Oh, that's me.
[09:26] ---
    A Nagano Shiina-sama is on the phone.
[09:29] ---
    Thanks.
[09:31] ---
    Where are you?!
    They already started tuning up!
[09:35] ---
    Sorry! Something came up...
[09:38] ---
    I'm in the car out front.
[09:40] ---
    Car?
[09:43] ---
    Whose car is that?
[09:46] ---
    I have something to show you.
    Could you come here?
[09:50] ---
    You have it there?
[09:51] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[09:56] ---
    Don't come, Minami! Stay away!
[09:58] ---
    What? Hello?!
[10:02] ---
    What's his deal?
[10:07] ---
    Thank you!
[10:10] ---
    Why is that guy...
[10:15] ---
    Come on, Shiina-kun!
    Say something, will ya?!
[10:19] ---
    Freeze.
[10:22] ---
    Shiina-kun!
[10:24] ---
    Now, get in.
[10:29] ---
    Oh no!
[10:30] ---
    Conan-kun!
[10:37] ---
    Minami-chan's been...
[10:39] ---
    ...kidnapped!
[10:41] ---
    Darn it! A kidnapping
    right before my eyes?!
[10:55] ---
    Hello, this is the Budokan.
[10:58] ---
    Sorry, could you repeat that?
[11:00] ---
    I said I have Two-Mix hostage.
[11:03] ---
    Huh?
[11:03] ---
    If you wanna save 'em,
    call the police right now.
[11:07] ---
    Quit kidding around, will ya?
[11:10] ---
    What was that?
[11:11] ---
    Said he kidnapped Two-Mix.
[11:13] ---
    Excuse me!
[11:15] ---
    These kids claim Takayama
    Minami-san was kidnapped!
[11:20] ---
    Eh?
[11:21] ---
    What?!
[11:22] ---
    It's the truth!
[11:23] ---
    We saw her get shoved into a car!
[11:25] ---
    Save Minami-chan!
[11:27] ---
    So that call really was...
[11:29] ---
    This is bad!
[11:30] ---
    Call the police immediately!
[11:32] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:35] ---
    Looks like rain...
[11:37] ---
    We're gonna get wet if
    they don't start soon...
[11:42] ---
    Police cars!
[11:44] ---
    Did something happen?
[11:53] ---
    Inspector! This way!
[11:55] ---
    Split up and question
    people in the area!
[11:58] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:00] ---
    Okay, let's go!
[12:01] ---
    Yes, sir!
[12:04] ---
    So, Takayama Minami-*san
    *left by herself?
[12:10] ---
    Yes. We couldn't contact Nagano-kun,
    so she went to look around.
[12:16] ---
    Afterwards, while dining
    with you children,
[12:19] ---
    she was called outside and kidnapped?
[12:22] ---
    Yeah. After she got
    the call and went outside,
[12:25] ---
    the man behind her
    pushed her inside the car!
[12:29] ---
    What?! So you saw the
    kidnapper?!
[12:32] ---
    Yeah! He was as tall
    as old man Mori...
[12:35] ---
    ...and was wearing
    a ski hat and a scarf!
[12:37] ---
    And round sunglasses!
[12:39] ---
    He had long, frizzy hair
    and a mustache!
[12:43] ---
    But, it could be a disguise!
    And there were at least two kidnappers!
[12:47] ---
    Huh? How do you know that?
[12:50] ---
    After the man pushed her
    into the back seat of the car,
[12:54] ---
    he got into the passenger seat!
[12:56] ---
    In other words,
    someone else was driving!
[12:59] ---
    I see. And then you got the call.
[13:03] ---
    Yes. They said they had kidnapped
    Two-Mix and to call the police...
[13:09] ---
    What exactly are they planning?
[13:12] ---
    You'd expect them to say
    not to call the police...
[13:15] ---
    Perhaps they're really confident?
[13:17] ---
    Or...
[13:19] ---
    Or, they never intended to release
    their hostages from the start!
[13:23] ---
    That's terrible...
[13:27] ---
    Inspector! It's them!
[13:29] ---
    Get ready to trace it!
[13:32] ---
    Well, you have the honors.
[13:34] ---
    Right...
[13:36] ---
    Don't worry. Just stay calm.
[13:40] ---
    Alright. Try not to
    agitate the kidnappers.
[13:44] ---
    Agree to all their demands.
[13:46] ---
    And stall them as long as possible.
[13:49] ---
    Right.
[13:52] ---
    Go ahead.
[13:55] ---
    Hello...
[13:57] ---
    Yes.
[13:59] ---
    Alright.
[14:01] ---
    Inspector, he wants to talk
    to the officer in charge.
[14:05] ---
    Alright. Hand it here.
[14:08] ---
    Put it on speaker.
[14:12] ---
    Hello? This is Inspector Megure.
[14:15] ---
    Oh, what a pleasant surprise!
[14:17] ---
    It's a real honor to have the
    Section 1 inspector on the case!
[14:23] ---
    How are they?!
[14:24] ---
    Don't worry. They're taking
    a little nap together.
[14:29] ---
    What is it you want?! Money?! Or maybe--
[14:32] ---
    Money?
[14:34] ---
    I'm not interested in that.
[14:36] ---
    I'm one of those so-called stalkers.
[14:39] ---
    I want everything that's related to them.
[14:43] ---
    Yes, like the bag she forgot
    at the restaurant, for example...
[14:47] ---
    Bag?!
[14:50] ---
    This?!
[14:52] ---
    Alright! I'll have
    one of my men deliver--
[14:56] ---
    Don't mock my intelligence.
[14:58] ---
    The brats. Have them bring it.
[15:01] ---
    You can't mean...
[15:03] ---
    ...those four brats who were
    eating with Minami-chan.
[15:08] ---
    But...
[15:08] ---
    There's no time to be hesitant.
[15:11] ---
    I have two hostages here.
[15:14] ---
    I wouldn't care one bit if one
    of them went on to the afterlife.
[15:20] ---
    Just get those four
    runts to bring the bag!
[15:29] ---
    No! I can't put children in
    such a dangerous situation!
[15:34] ---
    I'm sorry, but I can't
    accept that demand!
[15:36] ---
    Is that so?
[15:39] ---
    Then I have no choice.
[15:40] ---
    Guess I'll turn Two-Mix into
    One-Mix and then get back to you.
[15:47] ---
    Wait!
[15:48] ---
    Alright!
[15:50] ---
    We'll take you your bag!
[15:52] ---
    Yeah, Conan's right!
[15:54] ---
    We can't just sit around while
    Two-Mix is being held captive!
[15:57] ---
    I'll try my hardest!
[15:59] ---
    Hold on, now...
[16:01] ---
    Great, then it's decided.
[16:03] ---
    Hold on!
[16:04] ---
    In fifteen minutes, I'll call
    a phone at Kudanshita Station.
[16:08] ---
    Wait...
[16:09] ---
    If even one of 'em is late,
    I'll start blastin' people!
[16:14] ---
    You get a trace?!
[16:16] ---
    I know they're in
    the direction of Haido,
[16:18] ---
    but he was calling from a moving
    car so I can't pinpoint him...
[16:23] ---
    Alright. Contact HQ at once and get
    a list of all suspects still at large
[16:29] ---
    from recent cases of mine!
[16:31] ---
    Yes, sir! But why...
[16:34] ---
    The kidnapper knew my name,
[16:36] ---
    and hid his speech behind
    a voice-changer and polite talk!
[16:40] ---
    It's likely that
    I investigated him before!
[16:43] ---
    Right!
[16:43] ---
    Conan-kun.
[16:44] ---
    Yes?
[16:47] ---
    I want you to promise me you
    won't do anything dangerous.
[16:52] ---
    I promise.
[16:53] ---
    Run away if you
    think you're in danger!
[16:55] ---
    Got it!
[16:56] ---
    Do you understand, too?!
[16:58] ---
    Um... What should I do
    about the concert?
[17:02] ---
    Cancel it!
[17:03] ---
    That's not necessary!
[17:06] ---
    We'll rescue them before the
    concert starts, so just hold on!
[17:25] ---
    Hello?!
[17:26] ---
    Good. Now get on
    the Toei-Shinjuku Line
[17:29] ---
    and answer the phone on
    Platform 13 at Shinjuku Station
[17:31] ---
    on the Yamanote Line in fifteen minutes!
[17:34] ---
    I dropped the bag in a gutter earlier...
[17:37] ---
    You dropped it in a gutter?
[17:38] ---
    Hey! Is the tape alright?!
[17:40] ---
    You idiot! Have you forgotten
    we want the tape destroyed?!
[17:44] ---
    Oh, yeah...
[17:46] ---
    So, they are after the demo tape!
[17:49] ---
    Fifteen minutes, now! Don't be late!
[17:53] ---
    But, why make the kids bring it?
    Especially with police escorts?
[17:58] ---
    Tell cops not to come
    and they'll come anyway.
[18:02] ---
    Plus, with four kids, they'll assume
    they'll never lose sight of 'em.
[18:06] ---
    We'll use that to our advantage.
[18:14] ---
    What are you doing?
[18:16] ---
    Writing the lyrics on the demo tape.
[18:19] ---
    The kidnappers are after this tape.
[18:21] ---
    I can't find any strange sounds on it...
[18:24] ---
    In which case, there has
    to be a keyword in these lyrics
[18:27] ---
    that poses a problem for those guys!
[18:31] ---
    Inspector. We just got word
[18:34] ---
    that the kidnappers' car was
    abandoned by the Teimuzu River!
[18:38] ---
    Damn! They switched cars!
[18:41] ---
    Which means those four kids
    are our only hope now...
[19:02] ---
    I'm dead tired...
[19:04] ---
    All we've been doing is going
    around the Yamanote Line...
[19:07] ---
    Do you suppose they're toying with us?
[19:10] ---
    No, they're just
    waiting for their chance!
[19:14] ---
    The moment the
    police lose sight of us!
[19:20] ---
    Give the tape to someone else?
[19:24] ---
    Yeah. I'll call back in three minutes.
[19:27] ---
    Hand it over in the bathroom
    and make sure the cops don't find out.
[19:31] ---
    This is weird!
[19:33] ---
    Who did he say
    to give the tape to?!
[19:36] ---
    Tell us, Conan-kun!
[19:38] ---
    Say, when Two-Mix played
    this tape on the radio,
[19:41] ---
    did they mention anything else?
[19:43] ---
    Not really.
[19:44] ---
    They did say they thought up the
    lyrics when they passed by a temple...
[19:48] ---
    Shoenji Temple, I think...
[19:50] ---
    Shoenji?!
[19:52] ---
    Wait! That's near where that murder
    happened last New Year's Eve!
[19:58] ---
    That was when some creep
    with a gun attacked a man
[20:02] ---
    but was killed when it went
    off during the struggle...
[20:06] ---
    I'm pretty sure the man was
    acquitted for self-defense reasons...
[20:12] ---
    Now I know why they want this tape!
[20:16] ---
    It's almost time!
[20:18] ---
    We gotta hurry...
[20:19] ---
    Wait! I have a good idea!
[20:27] ---
    The phone's ringing.
    The kids are picking it up.
[20:30] ---
    That's the plan.
    That'll get rid of those cops.
[20:34] ---
    Don't screw up, now!
[20:37] ---
    The doors are about to close.
    Please be careful.
[20:45] ---
    Ayumi!
[20:48] ---
    Are you alright, little girl?
[20:50] ---
    Yes...
[20:51] ---
    Anyone manage to get on?!
[20:54] ---
    Just us two...
[20:56] ---
    How about the kidnappers?
[20:58] ---
    No, nobody yet...
[21:01] ---
    The kids are throwing
    the bag out the window!
[21:03] ---
    There!
[21:07] ---
    So, that was the plan!
[21:08] ---
    OK! You watch the kids!
    We're heading for the bag!
[21:13] ---
    Ok! Let's move!
[21:16] ---
    Huh? Where's that girl...
[21:21] ---
    Wait! Your guys' work is done!
[21:24] ---
    You don't need to run away!
[21:26] ---
    Stop, little boy...
[21:28] ---
    Eek!
[21:28] ---
    "Eek"?
[21:37] ---
    Anyone gotten near the bag?
[21:39] ---
    No one, so far.
[21:53] ---
    Hello?
[21:54] ---
    Good work, little girl.
[21:57] ---
    There aren't any cops around, I hope?
[22:01] ---
    No, there doesn't
    seem to be anyone...
[22:03] ---
    Perfect.
[22:05] ---
    Ready to come, like I told ya?
[22:08] ---
    Yeah...
[22:10] ---
    I'll try my hardest!
[22:12] ---

    the glasses to the police?!
