[02:47] Kogoro
    I've visited Nichiuri TV several times,
[02:52] Kogoro
    but this is the first invitation
    I've received from Nichiuri Radio.
[02:55] Manda
    I'm Manda, the world's greatest producer.

SIGN    Manda Teruomi (40)
    Nichiuri TV & Radio

[03:04] Manda
    Oh, please. I can't believe you
    took me seriously, Mori-chan.
[03:07] Manda
    It's a joke.
[03:08] Manda
    I'm actually only the second
    greatest in the world.
[03:10] Kogoro
    What's with this guy?
[03:12] Manda
    And this is the world's greatest
    director, Kujirai-chan.
SIGN    Kujirai Mamoru (35)

    I'm broadcast writer Yashiro Kaede.
    I've been looking forward to today.
SIGN    Yashiro Kaede (32)

[03:30] Kogoro
    Nice to meet you.
[03:31] Manda
    Finally, there's Nichiuri TV's

    I'm Inuyama Ninosuke.
    Thank you for coming today.
SIGN    Inuyama Ninosuke (38)

[03:41] Kogoro
    No, thank you.
[03:42] Manda
    So, Mori-chan, you got any
    alcohol in your system?
[03:45] Kogoro
    Alcohol? No, of course not.
[03:49] Manda
    What?
[03:50] Manda
    World's greatest AD Abe-chan,
SIGN    Abe Rie (24)
    Nichiuri TV & Radio
    Production Unit AD
[03:53] Manda
    ask him what he'd like to drink and
    have it delivered to his greenroom!
[03:57] Rie
    Got it.
[03:57] Kujirai
    Are you sure? We're about to start.
[04:00] Manda
    What? But isn't it true?
[04:03] Kaede
    They say Mori-san performs better
    when he's had a drink or two.
[04:11] Kogoro
    I suppose they're not wrong.
[04:14] Manda
    Then it's decided.
[04:15] Manda
    Mori-chan, we'll be heading
    into the studio now.
[04:19] Manda
    We'll see you later.
[04:21] Kogoro
    All right.
[04:25] Kogoro
    Is that Manda guy always like that?
[04:28] Rie
    I guess so.
[04:30] Kogoro
    Really?
[04:32] Rie
    Anyway, what would you like to drink?
[04:37] Inuyama
    Today's concern comes from TM-san of Tokyo.
[04:45] Inuyama
    "I don't know what to
    do about the crazy woman
[04:47] Inuyama
    living in the apartment
    directly above mine."
[04:50] Inuyama
    "She's noisy, and she throws cigarette
    butts and empty cans onto my balcony."
[04:55] Inuyama
    "I have no idea what to do."
[04:58] Inuyama
    I see. This is a truly pressing concern.
[05:02] Inuyama
    Today's guest Mori-san, what advice
    do you have as a detective?
[05:07] Kogoro
    It makes you angry because
    you think of her as human.
[05:11] Kogoro
    That obnoxious woman is
    nothing more than trash!
[05:14] Inuyama
    What?
[05:18] Inuyama
    I-I don't think it's right to
    treat people like garbage...
[05:21] Kogoro
    TM-san, you should give her
    a taste of her own medicine!
[05:25] Kogoro
    Throw trash back onto her balcony!
[05:28] Kogoro
    Burnable trash, non-burnable trash!
[05:30] Kogoro
    Even your food scraps!
[05:34] Manda
    Mori-chan's the best.
[05:36] Kogoro
    No, food scraps aren't enough!
[05:36] Kujirai
    I told you this would happen!
    What are we supposed to do now?
SIGN    Mori-san, you're the best!
[05:40] Kogoro
    Throw your extra large trash!
[05:42] Kujirai
    Play the jingle!
[05:42] Kogoro
    Show some backbone!
SIGN    Jingle

SIGN    Several Hours Later
[06:02] Kumi
    Answer the door, you harlot!
[06:05] Towako
    What's all this about?
[06:07] Kumi
    I could ask you the same thing!
[06:09] Kumi
    You're the one who picked a fight with me!
SIGN    Kijima Kumi (38)
    Housewife
[06:10] Kumi
    You trash talked me on the radio!

SIGN    Manda Towako (31)
    Housewife
[06:16] Towako
    It must've been someone else.
[06:17] Kumi
    Don't play dumb!
[06:19] Towako
    Hey, stop!
[06:21] Kumi
    I can't believe you used the radio!
[06:23] Towako
    That hurts!
[06:25] Culprit
    They don't even know
    they're being manipulated.
[06:27] Culprit
    It's all going exactly according to plan.
[06:31] Kumi
    You'll pay for this! Don't
    think you'll get way with it!
[06:35] Towako
    Move out of here already, you nuisance!
SIGN    Mori Detective Agency
[06:48] Kogoro
    Yes, Inspector.
[06:50] Kogoro
    I did appear on a radio show
    yesterday. What about it?
[06:55] Kumi
    I told you, I've got nothing to do with it!
[06:58] Megure
    Just come to Nichiuri TV.
[07:01] Megure
    You're a witness.
[07:02] Kogoro
    A witness? Witness to what?
[07:06] Megure
    A murder!
[07:08] Kogoro
    A-A murder?
[07:12] Megure
    Hurry.
[07:23] Megure
    The victim is Manda Towako-san,
    thirty-one years old,
[07:26] Megure
    a resident of a nearby apartment building.
[07:32] Megure
    She was killed late last night around 12 AM.
[07:35] Conan
    She must've been struck with this metal pipe.
[07:38] Conan
    Ow!
[07:39] Megure
    We didn't find any
    fingerprints on the weapon,
[07:42] Megure
    and there wasn't any
    blood at the crime scene.
[07:45] Kogoro
    I see.
[07:46] Kogoro
    So, why am I a witness?
[07:49] Megure
    Because the murderer's motive
[07:51] Megure
    may have had something to do with
    the radio show you appeared on.
[07:54] Kogoro
    What? How is that radio show the motive?
[07:59] Megure
    Yesterday evening, the
    victim and Kijima Kumi-san,
[08:03] Megure
    who lives above her, argued about the show.
[08:08] Kogoro
    The listener's concern was
    about the obnoxious behavior
[08:11] Kogoro
    of the woman who lived above her.
[08:15] Kogoro
    I believe the listener's name was TM-san...
[08:19] Kogoro
    TM?
[08:20] Conan
    Those are the same initials as
    the victim Manda Towako-san's.
[08:25] Kogoro
    I see. Then the obnoxious woman must be...
[08:29] Kumi
    Of course I'm angry!
[08:32] Kumi
    When I came home from work yesterday,
    I found a note in my mailbox...
SIGN    Nuisance
[08:37] Kumi
    and a recording of the radio show.
SIGN    Now the whole world's laughing at you.
[08:43] Kogoro
    It makes you angry because
    you think of her as human.
[08:46] Kogoro
    That obnoxious woman is
    nothing more than trash!
[08:50] Kumi
    So I went to yell at her!
[08:53] Conan
    Mister, you said those cruel things?
[08:55] Kogoro
    Well, you know...
[09:00] Kogoro
    I have no excuse.
[09:04] Kogoro
    I had a little too much of
    the drink I was offered.
[09:07] Rie
    I'm sorry!
[09:09] Kogoro
    No, no, no, no. It's not your fault.
[09:14] Megure
    Anyway, the building manager intervened
[09:20] Megure
    and was able to calm things down.
[09:22] Kumi
    You'll pay for this! Don't
    think you'll get way with it!
[09:25] Towako
    Move out of here already, you nuisance!
[09:29] Kogoro
    What?
[09:30] Kogoro
    Then you did invite the victim
    out later that night...
[09:34] Kumi
    I told you, I didn't do it.
[09:36] Megure
    Now, now.
[09:40] Kogoro
    But immediately after the victim
    wrote in about her concern...
[09:44] Megure
    It's not that simple, Mori-kun.
[09:48] Megure
    Yashiro-san.
[09:50] Kaede
    Yes.
[09:51] Kaede
    The listener TM-san isn't
    the victim Manda Towako-san.
[09:57] Kogoro
    What?
SIGN    Morikawa Tsugumi
[09:58] Kaede
    It's someone completely different
    named Morikawa Tsugumi-san.
[10:03] Conan
    But you received a CD recording of
    the show in your mailbox, right?
[10:09] Kogoro
    That's it.
[10:11] Kogoro
    Manda Towako-san, who happened
    to share the same concern,
[10:14] Kogoro
    heard the show on the radio
    and recorded it onto a CD.
[10:20] Kogoro
    She put it in Kijima-san's
    mailbox out of spite.
[10:24] Kogoro
    When Kijima-san heard it,
    she thought it was about her.
[10:29] Kumi
    I told you...
[10:30] Megure
    But, Mori-kun,
[10:32] Megure
    it wasn't the victim who
    put the CD in her mailbox.
[10:36] Both
    What?
[10:39] Megure
    I'm having Takagi look into it.
[10:45] Inuyama
    Isn't this case a little
    too convenient for someone?
[10:49] Inuyama
    It may be a coincidence,
    but the victim is the victim.
[10:53] Kogoro
    What do you mean?
[10:54] Megure
    We learned this when we arrived,
[10:56] Megure
    but the victim Manda Towako-san
    is the wife of Producer Manda.
[11:02] Megure
    They're currently separated.
[11:03] Kogoro
    Your wife?
[11:04] Manda
    Oh, but don't worry about it, Mori-chan.
[11:08] Manda
    I was going to divorce that thing.
[11:12] Inuyama
    But your wife was firmly
    against divorce, wasn't she?
[11:17] Kaede
    What does that have to do with this case?
[11:19] Kujirai
    But since your wife is gone, that
    means your wish came true, right?
[11:25] Manda
    Oh, please. Don't say such strange
    things, Kujirai-chan and Nino-chan.
[11:30] Conan
    The conversation's gone
    in a strange direction.
[11:33] Kogoro
    Yeah. It sounds like he's grateful
    for what the culprit did.
[11:36] Kumi
    I told you, it wasn't me!
[11:39] Kumi
    I did harass her a little.
[11:42] Kumi
    She kept boasting about
    being a rising talent.
[11:45] Kogoro
    She was a rising talent?
[11:49] Kaede
    It seems that way, but that has
    nothing to do with this case.
[11:54] Kogoro
    Yes, but if the divorce proceedings
    weren't going well...
[11:59] Manda
    Mori-san, you, too?
[12:01] Manda
    You're making it sound like I'm somehow
    involved in her murder. Right?
[12:09] ---
    Oh, please.
[12:11] Rie
    Yes?
[12:13] Rie
    Thank you.
[12:15] Rie
    I see. Right away.
[12:18] Rie
    There's a meeting scheduled in this room.
[12:22] Megure
    Understood. We'll move.
[12:27] Rie
    Inspector, there's a job I have to check on.
[12:33] Megure
    That should be fine.
[12:34] Rie
    Excuse me.
[12:36] Kujirai
    Thanks for doing this.
[12:37] Rie
    Sure thing.
[12:41] Takagi
    Inspector Megure.
[12:42] Megure
    How did it go, Takagi?
[12:44] Takagi
    Yes, sir. About that...
[12:48] Megure
    I knew it.
[12:50] Megure
    Manda-san, this is the CD
    we were just discussing.
[12:54] Megure
    You're the one who put this in
    Kijima-san's mailbox, weren't you?
[12:59] All
    What?
SIGN    Just as planned
[13:14] Megure
    Our investigation revealed that
    this CD wasn't a recording
[13:21] Megure
    of the broadcast but copied
    directly from the source.
[13:25] Takagi
    Some of the station staff claim
    that yesterday afternoon
[13:29] Takagi
    Manda-san asked them to create a copy.
[13:34] Takagi
    Naturally, he told them not to tell anyone.
[13:38] Manda
    I wonder why.
[13:40] Takagi
    Then you disappeared from the
    station for about two hours.
[13:44] Megure
    During that time,
[13:47] Megure
    are you sure you didn't go to the apartment
    and put the CD in Kijima-san's mailbox?
[13:53] Manda
    It certainly seems that way.
[13:55] Kumi
    I knew it was you!
[13:57] Kaede
    Manda-san.
[13:59] Manda
    During the review meeting
    after yesterday's broadcast
[14:03] Manda
    someone said they wish
[14:06] Manda
    the woman living above my wife
    could've heard today's show.
[14:11] Manda
    I'd told everyone that she was frustrated
    with the obnoxious woman living above her.
[14:16] Manda
    That's when I realized something
    interesting might happen
[14:19] Manda
    if I made it seem like
    she'd complained about her.
[14:29] Manda
    You've gotta strike when the iron's hot.
SIGN    Now the whole world's laughing at you.
[14:38] Megure
    And just as you planned,
    your wife was killed.
[14:42] Manda
    What?
[14:43] Inuyama
    That's how he made someone
    else do the killing.
[14:47] Kujirai
    Manipulating another so he
    wouldn't get his own hands dirty!
[14:50] Manda
    No! I just wanted her to suffer a little.
[14:54] Manda
    I never thought she'd be killed for it.
[14:57] Manda
    I... I... I'm sorry!
[15:02] Megure
    Even if it wasn't deliberate,
[15:06] Megure
    you're still responsible
    for causing a murder.
[15:11] Kumi
    All I did was go and yell at her!
[15:14] Kaede
    Mori-san, I have a request.
[15:17] Kaede
    Please prove Kijima Kumi-san's innocence.
[15:21] Kogoro
    What?
[15:22] Both
    Yashiro-kun.
[15:24] Kumi
    You believe me?
[15:27] Kaede
    It's for Manda-san, actually.
[15:31] Kaede
    If he caused the murder, then Manda-san
    will be held responsible, too.
[15:37] Kaede
    I can't let that happen.
[15:39] Kaede
    He's very important to
    me. I owe him everything.
[15:43] Kogoro
    You owe Manda-san everything?
[15:46] Kaede
    I debuted as a broadcast
    writer with a radio drama.
[15:52] Kaede
    He looked through the script I
    brought in as a total amateur.
[15:59] Manda
    Yashiro-chan, you're lucky
    you got to deal with me.
[16:05] Kaede
    Manda-san, who was a director at the time,
[16:10] Kaede
    took it upon myself to
    put my show on the radio.
[16:13] Conan
    So you owe him for helping you debut.
[16:17] Kaede
    We never worked together after that,
[16:21] Kaede
    but one month ago, he returned as
    the producer of the Until Noon Show,
[16:26] Kaede
    and we were finally reunited.
[16:29] Kogoro
    I see. You want to save
    the man who helped you.
[16:33] Kogoro
    It's true that if she's innocent, then
    Manda-san won't be held responsible.
[16:39] Manda
    You gotta save me, Mori-chan!
[16:43] Manda
    Mori-chan, please! Save me!
[16:45] Kogoro
    Inspector, does Kijima
    Kumi-san have an alibi?
[16:49] Megure
    Every Friday she goes bar hopping.
[16:52] Megure
    She said that's what she
    was doing last night.
[16:54] Kumi
    It's true!
[16:56] Kogoro
    I see.
[17:00] Megure
    Hello, this is Megure. Yes.
[17:04] Megure
    What? You found someone?
[17:10] Megure
    Got it. Thank you.
[17:14] Megure
    Kijima-san's alibi has been verified.
[17:17] Kumi
    See?
[17:18] Megure
    An employee said she was drinking there last
    night from around 11 PM until past midnight.
[17:26] Manda
    Which means...
[17:29] Kumi
    I told you I didn't kill her!
[17:34] Manda
    In other words, what I did had absolutely
    nothing at all to do with her murder.
[17:44] Kaede
    That's great news, Manda-san.
[17:46] Manda
    I've got the god of radio on my side.
[17:50] Kaede
    But then who's the culprit?
[17:53] Manda
    Who knows?
[17:56] Manda
    In any case, now that we know our program
    had nothing to do with the case,
[18:02] Manda
    we can get out of here.
[18:05] Megure
    Before that, Manda-san,
    where were you last night?
[18:09] Manda
    Me?
[18:11] Manda
    I went drinking with these guys.
[18:14] Manda
    But I suddenly felt tired, so
    I went home and went to bed.
[18:19] Megure
    In other words, you were home alone?
[18:22] Manda
    Wh-What about it?
[18:24] Kogoro
    It's ironic, but now that our
    prime suspect Kijima Kumi-san
[18:30] Kogoro
    has been proven innocent...
[18:32] Megure
    We're forced to consider who stands
[18:35] Megure
    to benefit the most from the
    death of Manda Towako-san.
[18:41] Inuyama
    It's the end of the line, Manda-san.
[18:45] Inuyama
    You killed your wife,
[18:47] Inuyama
    and put that CD in Kijima
    Kumi-san's mailbox
[18:51] Inuyama
    so it would look like she did it.
[18:54] Inuyama
    You made the police believe she had a motive.
[18:58] Manda
    What are you talking about, Nino-chan?
[19:01] Kaede
    Inuyama-san.
[19:02] Megure
    We're also considering the possibility
    Inuyama-san just mentioned.
[19:08] Kaede
    But if that's true,
[19:09] Kaede
    then wouldn't he have done something
    to disprove Kijima-san's alibi?
[19:13] Megure
    Normally, yes, but...
[19:16] Kujirai
    It happened in the middle of the night.
[19:19] Kujirai
    He probably assumed she'd be unable
[19:21] Kujirai
    to prove her alibi even
    if he didn't do anything.
[19:27] Kujirai
    After all, Manda-san's all talk.
[19:29] Kaede
    Kujirai-san, why?
[19:31] Conan
    I've been wondering.
[19:34] Conan
    Do Inuyama-san and Kujirai-san
    not get along with Manda-san?
[19:39] Kogoro
    I'm sure there's a lot going on between them.
[19:42] Inuyama
    I know all about you, Manda-san.
[19:44] Inuyama
    You're secretly scheming to prevent
    me from becoming independent.
[19:50] Manda
    Well, you know, the station has its reasons.
[19:54] Kujirai
    You don't love radio!
[19:56] Kujirai
    You never have.
[19:58] Kujirai
    You only think of your programs
    as tools to make yourself rich.
[20:01] Kujirai
    You misappropriate them
    for your personal use!
[20:04] Manda
    That has nothing to do with this.
[20:07] Megure
    You're right.
[20:09] Megure
    Why don't you tell us all about it at the
    station where there won't be any outsiders?
[20:14] Manda
    The station?
[20:17] Manda
    I told you, last night I was
    sound asleep at my home!
[20:21] Manda
    You gotta believe me!
SIGN    He's been sent to hell!
SIGN    That damn bastard!!
[20:29] Kogoro
    He has motive and no alibi,
[20:32] Kogoro
    and it's true that he tried to have the
    obnoxious woman living above her attack his wife.
[20:37] Conan
    Yeah, but...
[20:40] Conan
    Isn't this a premeditated murder?
[20:43] Conan
    Could Manda-san really have come
    up with this if he's all talk?
[20:47] Kogoro
    He was just that desperate
    to divorce his wife.
[20:51] Inuyama
    Okada-san.
[20:53] Inuyama
    Thank you for the other day.
[20:55] Kujirai
    Hey, Abe. How did it go?
[20:59] Conan
    Hey, Yashiro-san.
[21:00] Kaede
    Huh?
[21:01] Conan
    Those two seem to really hate Manda-san.
[21:06] Kaede
    What?
[21:07] Kogoro
    Are you saying one of them did it
    and is trying to frame Manda-san?
[21:13] Conan
    I just thought it might be a possibility.
[21:17] Kogoro
    You're right.
[21:25] Kaede
    That's not possible.
[21:28] Kaede
    It's true that they don't
    get along with Manda-san,
[21:32] Kaede
    but I can't believe they'd kill
    his wife just to get at Manda-san.
[21:36] Kogoro
    Right? See, you brat?
[21:40] Conan
    But they hate him so much.
[21:43] Kogoro
    I'm kind of hungry.
    I should get something to eat.
[21:47] Conan
    Listen to me!
[21:55] Kogoro
    Boy, I'm hungry.
[21:57] Kogoro
    Mister!
SIGN    Even if the boy suspects
    something, it's too late
SIGN    Everything has gone according to plan
[22:14] Culprit
    It has ended in my victory!
SIGN    To be continued
