[00:02] ---
    A racing second hand,
    a shooting comet!
[00:04] ---
    Conan's logic is good medicine
    for hearts tired by modern society!
[00:07] ---
    Today is the legendary Snow Woman!
    A heart-chilling and sad case!
[00:11] ---
    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 Snow Woman Legend Murder Case."
[01:59] ---
    Genbee Ski Lodge
[02:06] ---
    Though my body may die,
[02:08] ---
    know that my spirit will
    someday be revived with the snow!
[02:18] ---
    Love of the Snow Woman - To Be Continued
[02:23] ---
    It's always such a powerful show!
[02:29] ---
    W-What's this?
[02:30] ---
    It's a mechanical doll.
[02:33] ---
    Have some tea!
[02:35] ---
    A doll, huh?
[02:36] ---
    It's really well-made!
[02:43] ---
    That's a rare thing you have!
[02:47] ---
    The previous owners of this place left it behind.
[02:47] ---
    Lodge Owner
    Genbee's Wife
[02:50] ---
    Were you watching
    the Snow Woman on TV?
[02:53] ---
    Yes!
[02:55] ---
    She was really scary!
[02:57] ---
    But Snow Women aren't for real!
[02:59] ---
    That's not true!
[03:01] ---
    This area is famous for
    its Snow Woman sightings!
[03:06] ---
    Who knows, maybe she'll
    even show up tonight!
[03:13] ---
    Good evening!
[03:14] ---
    Are we really staying here, Yoko?
[03:14] ---
    Kinoshita Akiko (26) Actress
[03:17] ---
    How is this a "great inn"?
[03:19] ---
    But there's no other place to stay,
[03:19] ---
    Asanuma Yoko (26) Actress
[03:21] ---
    and the bus already left!
[03:25] ---
    Welcome!
[03:27] ---
    Hello! I made a
    reservation the other day!
[03:31] ---
    Yes, yes! Kinoshita Akiko-*san
    *and Asanuma Yoko-san, yes?
[03:35] ---
    Thank you for coming all this way!
    Your skis have already arrived!
[03:40] ---
    What?! Did you just say
    "Kinoshita Akiko-san"?!
[03:46] ---
    Whoa! It's really you!
[03:48] ---
    I was just watching
    "Love of the Snow Woman" on TV!
[03:52] ---
    Hey! It's Kinoshita Akiko-san,
    the actress! In the flesh!
[03:57] ---
    I'm Mori Kogoro, the detective!
[04:01] ---
    Oh! That scene where you throw
    yourself into the lake was amazing!
[04:07] ---
    You fell straight for
    the lake, like, "Whoosh!"
[04:11] ---
    It was actually Yoko
    who did that dive, not me.
[04:14] ---
    I'm a stuntwoman.
[04:16] ---
    Oh, so you act out dangerous
    scenes in the place of main actors?
[04:21] ---
    Yoko is my exclusive stuntwoman.
    My double, you could even say!
[04:28] ---
    Umm, where might the
    restroom be? It's so chilly outside...
[04:33] ---
    Oh, the restroom is--
[04:35] ---
    At the far end of
    the hall, on the left.
[04:42] ---
    Does our room have
    a view of a persimmon tree?
[04:44] ---
    Yes, just as you requested!
[04:51] ---
    Let's hit the hay, Conan-kun.
[04:53] ---
    Yeah.
[04:54] ---
    Say, Ran-neechan. Yoko-*san
    *said this is her first time here, right?
[04:59] ---
    So how did she know
    where the bathroom was?
[05:03] ---
    Oh, you're so curious
    about everything, Conan-kun!
[05:07] ---
    Aren't bathrooms usually
    always in the same general area?
[05:12] ---
    Especially in older buildings like this!
[05:22] ---
    I hope the weather is clear tomorrow!
[05:33] ---
    T-The Snow Woman!
    Conan-kun! The Snow Woman!
[05:37] ---
    What? The Snow Woman?
[05:42] ---
    There's no one out there.
[05:44] ---
    That can't be! I saw her!
[05:48] ---
    What's all the commotion?
[05:51] ---
    Dad! I saw the Snow Woman!
[05:54] ---
    The Snow Woman?!
[05:59] ---
    No one's out there.
[06:01] ---
    You were just so
    afraid of the Snow Woman
[06:04] ---
    that a pile of snow
    looked like her to you!
[06:07] ---
    Really? It was just my imagination?
[06:17] ---
    Yes! I'll be back tomorrow evening!
[06:20] ---
    So I'd like to schedule
    a body massage and a facial!
[06:24] ---
    Great! Thank you!
[06:27] ---
    Akiko-san. Don't forget these.
[06:29] ---
    Oh, right!
[06:40] ---
    You almost look like a bank robber gang!
[06:43] ---
    Actresses can't afford to be sunburned.
[06:48] ---
    Move! Look out!
[06:51] ---
    Coming through!
[07:00] ---
    Oh! There's Yoko-san and Akiko-san!
[07:15] ---
    Mountain weather sure changes fast.
[07:18] ---
    This snow came out of nowhere.
[07:23] ---
    Oh, Yoko-san! Are you by yourself?
[07:26] ---
    Yes. Akiko-san wanted
    to ski for a little bit longer.
[07:29] ---
    Akiko-san sure is full of power!
[07:32] ---
    No, she pretends to be full of energy...
[07:37] ---
    ...but she's actually not well.
[07:40] ---
    See you later!
[07:45] ---
    Akiko-san not being well...
    Is she sick somehow?
[07:49] ---
    Yeah. I'm concerned.
[07:56] ---
    I'm back!
[07:58] ---
    Has Yoko returned yet?
[08:00] ---
    Yes! Just now!
[08:05] ---
    Do you suppose she caught a cold?
[08:12] ---
    You're a real life-saver!
[08:15] ---
    Not at all!
[08:16] ---
    That was a delicious meal!
[08:18] ---
    Akiko-san was coughing.
    Is she all right?
[08:21] ---
    Yes. She doesn't seem
    to have an appetite, though.
[08:25] ---
    She's resting now.
[08:27] ---
    Miss! Can we use the bath?
[08:29] ---
    Yes, go right ahead!
    You have it to yourselves until 8:00!
[08:33] ---
    Okay!
[08:36] ---
    You can take a bath
    after 8:00, Ran-chan!
[08:38] ---
    And you have the
    men's bath all to yourselves!
[08:48] ---
    Akiko-san. Are you all right?
    You really should see a doctor.
[08:54] ---
    Yes, I'll do that.
    I think I'll get out for now.
[08:57] ---
    Okay. I think I'll stay in a little longer.
[09:00] ---
    Mori-san! Are you there?
[09:02] ---
    Yes!
[09:03] ---
    What do you say to
    having an after-bath drink?
[09:07] ---
    I-I'd love to!
[09:13] ---
    Oh, so they're making it into a play?
[09:16] ---
    Yes! It received such critical acclaim!
[09:20] ---
    Just like on TV, Akiko-san's
    going to play the main character!
[09:23] ---
    I assume you're going to be in it too?!
[09:26] ---
    Yes, but of course!
    Please come and watch!
[09:30] ---
    Here!
[09:31] ---
    Of course I'll go to see you!
[09:34] ---
    Oh, I guess there
    wasn't very much in here.
[09:37] ---
    Hey, Conan. Go bring us some beer.
[09:40] ---
    It's already 10:00.
    The owners are asleep now.
[09:43] ---
    I have some whiskey in
    my room, if you'd prefer that!
[09:45] ---
    Oh, uhh...
[09:47] ---
    Let's drink a little more!
    I'll go get it!
[09:56] ---
    Dad!
[09:57] ---
    Oh, come on!
[09:59] ---
    Let's have fun tonight!
[10:06] ---
    Oh? What about the whiskey?
[10:07] ---
    Actually, it's apparently at
    the bottom of Akiko-san's suitcase,
[10:11] ---
    so she said she'll
    bring it to us in a bit.
[10:14] ---
    Akiko-san will?
[10:17] ---
    Oh! Is that her?
[10:19] ---
    Oh, I'll go check.
[10:24] ---
    Thanks--
[10:27] ---
    Not yet?
[10:29] ---
    No, still not yet.
[10:32] ---
    Oh! I think that is her now!
[10:37] ---
    Thanks, Akiko-san!
[10:43] ---
    The whiskey's here!
[10:46] ---
    I had so much fun!
[10:49] ---
    Me too!
[10:51] ---
    Well, Ran-san.
    Go on ahead to the bath.
[10:54] ---
    I'm going to check on
    Akiko-san real quick first.
[10:57] ---
    Okay!
[11:05] ---
    Huh?
[11:06] ---
    What is it?
[11:07] ---
    I don't seem to remember that
    doll being there when I looked earlier.
[11:12] ---
    But it's there.
[11:14] ---
    Uh oh! Did I drink a little too much?
[11:19] ---
    Where could Yoko-san be?
[11:24] ---
    T-That's...
[11:27] ---
    ...the Snow Woman!
[11:28] ---
    You saw her?
[11:29] ---
    I really did! She was
    wearing a white kimono!
[11:33] ---
    Mori-san! It's terrible! It's Akiko-san!
[11:36] ---
    What about her?
[11:38] ---
    Look at this! It's Akiko-san's will!
[11:42] ---
    Will?!
[11:43] ---
    Will
[11:43] ---
    She was gone when I returned to our room!
[11:46] ---
    I checked around the building,
    but I couldn't find her!
[11:49] ---
    Then, when I checked
    our room closer, I found that!
[11:53] ---
    Akiko-san has lung cancer?!
[11:55] ---
    I don't know! But her strange
    coughing had her worried, too!
[12:01] ---
    She says her father
    suffered from the same illness...
[12:05] ---
    I heard he died of lung cancer...
[12:08] ---
    She may have been
    secretly worried she had cancer too.
[12:14] ---
    "I want to die as the Snow Woman..."
[12:17] ---
    Then the Snow Woman I saw just now...?!
[12:21] ---
    It might've been Akiko-san!
[12:23] ---
    Yoko-san. Contact the police right away.
[12:26] ---
    It's very cold out! We need to
    find Akiko-san as quickly as possible!
[12:30] ---
    Right!
[12:33] ---
    Alright! We're going out to
    search, too! Get ready right away!
[12:36] ---
    Right!
[12:37] ---
    But, mister! Akiko-san made
    a beauty salon appointment!
[12:42] ---
    Would someone committing suicide
    really schedule an appointment?
[12:44] ---
    She probably decided to kill
    herself in the spur of the moment!
[12:49] ---
    Hey!
[12:49] ---
    Akiko-san!
[12:54] ---
    Please say something!
[12:56] ---
    Akiko-san!
[12:59] ---
    Akiko-san!
[13:04] ---
    The next morning,
[13:06] ---
    Akiko-san was found dead,
    wearing her Snow Woman costume.
[13:20] ---
    Akiko-san! Akiko-san!
[13:23] ---
    I guess there's no doubt
    she is Kinoshita Akiko-san.
[13:27] ---
    Thank you for your hard work.
[13:29] ---
    And you are?
[13:31] ---
    I'm Mori Kogoro, a detective.
    I was staying in the same lodge.
[13:35] ---
    Detective Kawada, Mikkamachi Police
[13:35] ---
    Oh! You're that famous detective?
[13:39] ---
    I'm Kawada, of the Mikkamachi Police.
[13:42] ---
    Actually, there was a sedative
    bottle lying next to Akiko-san.
[13:48] ---
    Akiko-san brought the
    whiskey after 10:00 pm.
[13:53] ---
    Meaning she committed suicide after then.
[13:56] ---
    I think the Snow Woman
    I saw was probably Akiko-san.
[14:01] ---
    This is how the scene
    looked when we found her.
[14:07] ---
    What the--?! Could it be?!
[14:10] ---
    Since this was a suicide,
[14:12] ---
    help from the Great Detective
    Mori probably won't be needed.
[14:23] ---
    Signs that someone climbed up!
[14:34] ---
    What are you doing, Conan-kun?
[14:38] ---
    Say. Where is the previous
    owner of this lodge now?
[14:42] ---
    Huh? The previous owner?
[14:45] ---
    He lives in the next village over now.
[14:48] ---
    Why do you ask?
[14:50] ---
    There's something I'd like to ask him.
[14:54] ---
    Huh?
[14:55] ---
    This was no suicide! It was a murder!
[14:59] ---
    And the killer was that person!
[15:06] ---
    I'm going to send the body
    off for mandatory autopsy now.
[15:10] ---
    Though it's pretty clear it's a suicide.
[15:13] ---
    Oh no!
[15:20] ---
    You must not take that body away!
[15:24] ---
    Kinoshita Akiko-san's death
    was a murder, not a suicide!
[15:29] ---
    Mori-san! What evidence do
    you have it was a murder?!
[15:31] ---
    Detective Kawada.
[15:33] ---
    Look closer at the photographs
    from when her body was found.
[15:40] ---
    Akiko-san's hair is inside
    the collar of the kimono.
[15:44] ---
    A person seeking out death
    wouldn't wear clothes so brazenly.
[15:50] ---
    Someone changed her clothes.
[15:52] ---
    W-Who?!
[15:54] ---
    It was you, Asanuma Yoko-san!
[15:59] ---
    Mori-san! You know Akiko-*san
    *wasn't in a normal state of mind!
[16:04] ---
    I doubt she worried about her
    hair when putting on the kimono!
[16:08] ---
    Detective Kawada.
    Please look at the photographs.
[16:11] ---
    It appears her body was
    buried quite deeply in the snow.
[16:16] ---
    The snow started yesterday around
    5:00 pm and ended around 8:00.
[16:22] ---
    If Akiko-san had killed
    herself after 10:00 last night,
[16:26] ---
    her body wouldn't have
    been buried in that much snow.
[16:30] ---
    And one other thing.
    Look closely at Akiko-san's face.
[16:34] ---
    She has a foundation on to prevent sunburn.
[16:38] ---
    Would someone at night,
    and someone about to commit suicide,
[16:42] ---
    really put such a foundation on?
[16:45] ---
    Yes, she does have foundation on!
[16:47] ---
    Akiko-san was most likely given
    the sedative without her realizing it.
[16:53] ---
    And no one else but you
    could have done that, Yoko-san!
[16:58] ---
    But, Mori-san! You all
    saw Akiko-san last night!
[17:03] ---
    What we saw was
    you acting as Akiko-san.
[17:06] ---
    Acting?! What do you mean?!
[17:10] ---
    You were the one
    who invited Akiko-san skiing
[17:13] ---
    and booked a room here.
[17:15] ---
    Why did you choose this place?
[17:18] ---
    Because it would be easiest
    to play two people at once here.
[17:22] ---
    Two people at once?
[17:24] ---
    You and Akiko-san share similar stature.
[17:28] ---
    After killing her, you needed
    to make it appear she was still alive.
[17:33] ---
    That's why you chose this lodge.
[17:36] ---
    But isn't this Yoko-san's first time here?
[17:39] ---
    Yoko-san.
[17:40] ---
    You worked here part-time one
    winter during your student days.
[17:45] ---
    The previous owner
    remembered your name.
[17:50] ---
    Yesterday, you gave her
    the sedative to knock her out.
[17:55] ---
    You then put her in her Snow
    Woman outfit and left her outside.
[17:59] ---
    Lucky for you, it had just started to snow.
[18:05] ---
    But what you didn't count on
    was the snow stopping soon after.
[18:10] ---
    Ran. The Snow Woman you
    saw our first day here was Yoko-san.
[18:17] ---
    She covered herself with a white
    kimono to keep from standing out
[18:20] ---
    as she went to hide another kimono.
[18:22] ---
    There were two Snow Woman outfits:
[18:25] ---
    one for Akiko-san and one
    for Yoko-san, the stuntwoman.
[18:28] ---
    She buried one of
    them in the snow in advance.
[18:32] ---
    Then, the following day,
    yesterday evening to be precise,
[18:35] ---
    she put it on the sleeping Akiko-san.
[18:43] ---
    Then you returned here
    as if nothing had happened.
[18:47] ---
    But Akiko-san came back, too!
[18:50] ---
    You disguised yourself as her
    as soon as you returned to your room.
[18:56] ---
    To make it seem like the
    dead Akiko-san was still quite alive.
[19:01] ---
    You climbed to the roof via the
    persimmon tree outside your window.
[19:05] ---
    As a stuntwoman,
    that would be simple to do.
[19:10] ---
    You then put on Akiko-san's
    ski boots, which you had hidden,
[19:14] ---
    and returned with her skis.
[19:18] ---
    You also played the role of two
    people for us in the open-air bath.
[19:24] ---
    You, if anyone, can
    imitate Akiko-san's voice.
[19:28] ---
    The final touch was the
    Snow Woman that Ran saw from the bath.
[19:33] ---
    You were pretending to be
    Akiko-san as she strode off to die,
[19:37] ---
    to make it look like
    she had committed suicide
[19:42] ---
    and that she had still
    been alive at that point.
[19:47] ---
    Then what about the
    whiskey she brought us?
[19:51] ---
    Yes, that was another act of yours.
    We never saw Akiko-san's face.
[19:57] ---
    But I received the whiskey!
[20:01] ---
    If Akiko-san was dead,
    just who brought the whiskey?!
[20:06] ---
    You chose this lodge
    for one other reason:
[20:10] ---
    the mechanical doll.
[20:13] ---
    You went to get the whiskey.
[20:15] ---
    But you had the
    mechanical doll bring it.
[20:20] ---
    Then, when I went to look,
[20:24] ---
    the doll was nowhere to be seen.
[20:27] ---
    But it wasn't my imagination;
[20:30] ---
    the doll was actually behind me.
[20:37] ---
    Thanks, Akiko-san!
[20:42] ---
    You later returned
    the doll to its platform
[20:45] ---
    when pretending to use the restroom.
[20:48] ---
    In other words, you used
    the doll to fill in for Akiko-san.
[20:53] ---
    Akiko-san's fingerprints
    should be missing from the bottle.
[21:01] ---
    And that's more proof than
    anything that she no longer existed.
[21:08] ---
    I... I drugged Akiko-san... and killed her.
[21:16] ---
    I also wrote the will.
[21:19] ---
    The part about her father's death was true,
[21:22] ---
    but there was nothing wrong with her at all.
[21:25] ---
    Then why?
[21:27] ---
    I was always being outdone by her.
[21:31] ---
    I made it to the final audition
    of my very first drama role,
[21:34] ---
    and lost to Akiko-san!
[21:37] ---
    It was always the same ever since!
[21:39] ---
    I would always lose to
    her in the final audition!
[21:42] ---
    She went on to become a star,
[21:45] ---
    while all I ever heard was,
[21:48] ---
    "You look like Kinoshita Akiko.
    We don't want a copycat show."
[21:54] ---
    When I thought I'd always be her
    double as long as she was around...
[23:47] ---
    It's the Snow Man! The Snow Man!
