[00:05] Hamanaka
    Welcome.
[00:07] Hamanaka
    This is the only place
    that can grant your wish.
[00:11] Wada
    Oh, yeah?
SIGN    Wada Tatsumi (39)
    Unemployed
[00:13] Wada
    My wish, huh?
[00:16] Hamanaka
    Surely you came here because you knew that.
[00:19] Hamanaka
    You simply have to believe.
[00:21] Hamanaka
    As long as you follow my instructions...
[00:24] Wada
    I'll commit the perfect crime, right?
[00:29] Hamanaka
    Exactly. I'm like a modern
    day Professor Moriarty.
[00:35] Hamanaka
    Providing people like you with
    the perfect crime is my job.
[00:41] Wada
    I see...
[00:50] Conan
    The rhythm on my lips is footloose!
[00:52] Conan
    The rhythm of my detective
    skills is perfect!
[00:54] Conan
    A world-famous planned crime!
[00:56] Conan
    The old man is selected for
    an undercover operation!
[00:58] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[00:59] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:01] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!

[02:42] Conan
    "An Encouragement of the Perfect Crime!"
[02:48] Takagi
    Yes, that's correct.
SIGN    Mori Detective Agency
[02:51] Sato
    Several strange cases have
    occurred in the city recently.
[02:55] Kogoro
    I see. What's this?
[02:58] Kogoro
    Marriage fraud, bank robbery, and burglary.
[03:02] Takagi
    Though they seem unrelated at first,
    these cases have something in common.
[03:08] Sato
    Take a look at these notes.
[03:11] Kogoro
    What's this?
[03:12] Conan
    They look like instruction
    manuals for crimes.
[03:16] Sato
    According to the arrested culprits,
[03:18] Sato
    they purchased the plans from a man
    calling himself a criminal adviser.
[03:24] Kogoro
    That's what's thriving in the underworld now?
[03:28] Sato
    Said criminal adviser is a vigilant man.
[03:34] Sato
    We only recently determined his location.
[03:37] Takagi
    So we have a request for you.
[03:41] Kogoro
    What is it? Spit it out.
[03:44] Kogoro
    An undercover operation, huh?
[03:47] Takagi
    You'd be more like an adviser.
[03:50] Takagi
    Since it's a special case, we'd
    appreciate it if you joined us.
[03:57] Kogoro
    I see.
[03:58] Kogoro
    It takes a talented adviser
    to take down an adviser.
[04:02] Conan
    I hope he's got some decent advice to give.
[04:05] Kogoro
    What are you doing here?
[04:08] Conan
    Since it's an undercover case, I thought
    we'd seem less like cops with me around.
[04:14] Kogoro
    What kind of criminal
    brings a child with him?
[04:18] Sato
    Why not let him come, Mori-san?
[04:20] Sato
    When Conan-kun's around, the investigation
    always seems to go mysteriously well.
[04:28] Kogoro
    His office is in there?
[04:30] Takagi
    Yes, definitely.
[04:33] Sato
    Let's go.
[04:34] Takagi
    Yes, ma'am. Mori-san,
    we appreciate your help.
SIGN    Hamanaka Planning
[04:38] Sato
    My name is Sato. I made an
    appointment the other day.
[04:42] Hamanaka
    Welcome.
[04:44] Hamanaka
    This is the only place
    that can grant your wish.
[04:48] Takagi
    You're the one we've heard about?
[04:50] Hamanaka
    Yes.
[04:52] Hamanaka
    I am the modern day Professor James Moriarty.
[04:57] Hamanaka
    I am Hamanaka Misao, criminal adviser.

[05:01] Sato
    What does a criminal adviser do?
[05:05] Hamanaka
    You're asking that now?
[05:07] Hamanaka
    Isn't that what you're looking for?

[05:11] Hamanaka
    In this office are all
    documents related to crime,
[05:14] Hamanaka
    and all the tools you need to carry one out.
[05:19] Hamanaka
    In other words, as long as
    you follow my instructions,
[05:23] Hamanaka
    you will be able to commit the perfect crime.
[05:26] Hamanaka
    What?
[05:27] Hamanaka
    Aren't you the famous detective Mori Kogoro?
[05:33] Hamanaka
    Which means yours companions must be,
[05:36] Hamanaka
    judging by their appearance, police officers.
[05:41] Conan
    Of course he figured it out.
[05:43] Sato
    Hamanaka-san, could we speak with you?
[05:48] Hamanaka
    Very well.
[05:50] Hamanaka
    I've always wanted to speak
    with a detective or the police.
[05:56] Sato
    You can start by taking a look
    at these instruction manuals.
[06:00] Hamanaka
    Let me see.
[06:01] Hamanaka
    I did indeed write these.
[06:04] Takagi
    What? You admit it?
[06:07] Hamanaka
    What point is there in lying about that?
[06:10] Hamanaka
    I produced all of these.
[06:12] Hamanaka
    They are undeniably blueprints
    for crimes written by me.
[06:16] Hamanaka
    Plots for novels.
[06:19] Sato
    Plots for novels?
[06:21] Conan
    Plots are like the plan for
    a novel or play, right?
[06:25] Takagi
    Yeah. They're like a summary
    or framework of a story.
[06:31] Sato
    You mean...
[06:32] Kogoro
    A plan for a crime.
[06:34] Hamanaka
    Indeed. I sell those plots.
[06:39] Hamanaka
    Primarily plots for crime novels.
[06:43] Takagi
    What's this?
[06:44] Hamanaka
    My price list.
[06:45] Kogoro
    Price list?
[06:47] Hamanaka
    I've ranked them according
    to the nature of the crime.
[06:50] Hamanaka
    My selling point is the variety I offer.
[06:53] Hamanaka
    I offer plots all kinds of crimes.
[06:56] Conan
    Murder, robbery, fraud...
[07:00] Conan
    There's even one called
    "thumbtack in slipper."

[07:03] Hamanaka
    I offer an exhaustive list of crimes from
    murder to light offenses in complete versions,
[07:07] Hamanaka
    simple versions, abridged versions,
    and first half only versions.
[07:12] Takagi
    What's a first half only version?
[07:15] Hamanaka
    I'm meeting the needs of my customers.
[07:18] Hamanaka
    Some of them said they wanted my
    plots but couldn't afford them.
[07:24] Conan
    So why did this person get caught?
[07:28] Hamanaka
    This is a simple version
    of a bank robbery plot.
[07:34] Hamanaka
    Ah, he made the mistake of
    not acquiring a plasma torch.
[07:38] Hamanaka
    He was arrested because he cheaped out
    and failed to break into the vault.
[07:42] Sato
    How about this one?
[07:44] Hamanaka
    This is an abridged version
    of a purse snatching plot.
[07:50] Hamanaka
    The culprit was simply too fat to run away.
[07:54] Takagi
    Then what about this first half
    only version of a burglary?
[07:58] Takagi
    They were arrested easily.
[08:00] Hamanaka
    I remember that case well.
[08:04] Hamanaka
    I can't believe they committed a
    burglary without wearing gloves.
[08:09] Conan
    That's it?
[08:11] Conan
    Sounds like everyone who follows
    your plots gets arrested.
[08:14] Conan
    You were lying when you said
    you sold perfect crimes.
[08:17] Hamanaka
    Th-That's not true!
[08:19] Hamanaka
    There are plenty of criminals
    who haven't been arrested.
[08:23] Hamanaka
    I sold a plot that's been
    unsolved for several years.
[08:28] Sato
    Could you tell us more about that case?
[08:33] Hamanaka
    Unfortunately, I cannot do that.
[08:36] Hamanaka
    I can't just give away my
    customers' information.
[08:40] Takagi
    Maybe so, but we can't just let it go.
[08:44] Hamanaka
    I wish I could help you, but trust
    is essential in my business.
[08:50] Hamanaka
    No hard feelings.
[08:55] Hamanaka
    Hold it right there.
[08:56] Hamanaka
    Don't forget that I'm just
    a crime novel adviser.
[09:01] Hamanaka
    I simply sell ideas for novels.
[09:04] Hamanaka
    I'm not committing any crimes.
[09:07] Hamanaka
    You understand that, don't you?
[09:09] Hamanaka
    Furthermore, I don't encourage
    my customers to commit crimes.
[09:14] Hamanaka
    The plots laid out on the table
    are all works of fiction.
[09:20] Hamanaka
    The characters, organizations,
[09:23] Hamanaka
    and names are products of my imagination and
    bear no relation to actual persons or events.
[09:28] Kogoro
    Why, you...
[09:29] Hamanaka
    In other words, the police
    can't lay a finger on me.
[09:46] Hamanaka
    What?
[09:47] Sato
    Hamanaka Misao, you're
    under arrest for abetment.
[09:53] Sato
    No matter what you say, your
    plots are causing actual crimes.
[09:59] Sato
    You're guilty of abetment.
[10:01] Hamanaka
    B-But...
[10:03] Sato
    Were you working as a criminal
    adviser without even knowing that?
[10:07] Hamanaka
    Well, I...
[10:09] Sato
    Now confess.
[10:10] Hamanaka
    What?
[10:11] Sato
    The crimes you're involved it.
[10:13] Sato
    Tell us about every last one.
[10:15] Hamanaka
    Y-You can't be serious.
[10:17] Sato
    Are you sure?
[10:19] Sato
    If you don't cooperate now, you'll regret it.
[10:23] Sato
    How you're treated after incarceration,
    testimony during the trial,

[10:28] Sato
    A lot of things that will shape your
    life are about to happen to you.
[10:36] Kogoro
    Hey, Takagi. Are you sure
    you needed an adviser?
[10:40] ---
    Yeah...
[10:42] Sato
    Well? What's it going to be?
[10:45] Takagi
    Transfer complete.
[10:48] Sato
    Roger that. Make a backup.
[10:50] Takagi
    Got it.
[10:51] Sato
    We've obtained information on five cases.
[10:54] Sato
    Of those five, three are unsolved,
    and two are currently in progress.
[10:59] Sato
    We found detailed information on

    Ishigami Takashi's Revenge Plan.
[11:59] Takagi
    The suspect's name is Wada Tatsumi,
    forty-eight years old, single.
[12:03] Takagi
    He has three previous offenses
    and is currently unemployed.
[12:06] Takagi
    He was just recently released from prison.
[12:09] Sato
    The scheduled time of his
    crime is today at 4 PM.
[12:12] Sato
    Since it's just after three now,
    we don't have much time left.
[12:16] Conan
    The plot is a complete version of a murder.
[12:19] Conan
    The method is to use an odorless
    gas to blow up an entire building.
[12:25] Kogoro
    A gas explosion?
[12:27] Conan
    There's even a blueprint
    showing a remote detonator.
[12:31] Conan
    Does he plan to blow up the evidence, too?
[12:34] Hamanaka
    Ishigami Takashi was Wada's superior at
    a company he worked for ten years ago.
[12:40] Hamanaka
    Apparently he believed he was
    responsible for Wada's firing.
[12:44] Sato
    The police are already heading to the
    suspect's house and the target's office.
[12:49] Sato
    The case should be resolved soon.

    Police!

    We haven't seen the suspect.
[13:11] Chiba
    We've secured the alleged target Ishigami-san,
    but there hasn't been any unusual activity.
[13:17] Megure
    The suspect Wada is attempting
    to cause a gas explosion.
[13:21] Megure
    Search every nook and cranny
    for hidden gas cylinders.
[13:25] Chiba
    Got it.
[13:28] Megure
    3:30 already.
[13:30] Megure
    According to the plot, a lot of people
    will get caught up in the explosion.
[13:34] Megure
    We must do whatever it takes
    to stop the explosion.
[13:38] Sato
    Got it.
[13:41] Sato
    Nothing was found at
    Ishigami-san's workplace.
[13:45] Kogoro
    What's going on?
[13:48] Takagi
    Maybe he's not carrying out his plan yet?
[13:51] Sato
    The scheduled date is today.
[13:53] Sato
    On top of that, we haven't
    determined the suspect's location.

    I don't think we should be optimistic.

[14:24] Sato
    We're running out of time.
[14:26] Sato
    We need to find clues from here quickly.
[14:29] Hamanaka
    I told you, as long as my customers
    follow my instructions,
[14:34] Hamanaka
    they can commit the perfect crime.
[14:37] Sato
    Remember! What did you and Wada discuss?
[14:41] Hamanaka
    What did we discuss?
[14:42] Sato
    Tell me every last word
    that was said. Got it?
[14:45] Hamanaka
    A-All right, but I did most of the talking.
[14:51] Sato
    Was there anything about him that seemed odd?
[14:53] Hamanaka
    Odd?
[14:55] Hamanaka
    Come to think of it...
[14:57] Hamanaka
    Surely you came here because you knew that.
[15:00] Hamanaka
    You simply have to believe.
[15:02] Hamanaka
    As long as you follow my instructions...
[15:05] Wada
    I'll commit the perfect crime, right?
[15:10] Hamanaka
    For some reason he knew my catchphrase.
[15:14] Kogoro
    He came to buy one of your plots.
[15:16] Kogoro
    It's not that odd that he knew.
[15:19] Hamanaka
    I suppose not.
[15:22] Hamanaka
    Oh, right. He said he wanted the detonation
    to be controlled remotely instead of automatic.
[15:28] Takagi
    Perhaps he wants to deal
    the killing blow himself.
[15:32] Sato
    Does he hate his target that much?
[15:35] Takagi
    I believe so.
SIGN    Gas Density
[15:42] Sato
    Wada clearly stated that his
    target was Ishigami-san, right?
[15:46] Hamanaka
    Yes.
[15:48] Hamanaka
    I write my plots after listening
    to my customers' requests.
[15:52] Takagi
    Then Ishigami-san is definitely his target.
[15:56] Takagi
    Isn't guarding the target and waiting for
    the suspect to arrive our best option?
[16:02] Conan
    Detective Takagi is right,
    but something's off...
[16:07] Conan
    Well, I guess I've got to do it.
[16:17] Kogoro
    No forewarning again...
[16:20] Takagi

SIGN    Gas Density
SIGN    Explosion Ready
[16:33] Kogoro
    First, why do you believe he came to see you?
[16:38] Hamanaka
    Why? Because of my excellence, obviously.
[16:42] Conan
    What?
[16:43] Kogoro
    Fine.
[16:45] Kogoro
    Let's assume he heard of
    your reputation somewhere.
[16:48] Kogoro
    When you spoke with him, did you think
    there was anything strange about him?
[16:53] Hamanaka
    I'm not sure.
[16:56] Kogoro
    I find it strange.
[16:58] Kogoro
    He may have been fired,
[17:00] Kogoro
    but why did he plan such
    an elaborate assassination?
[17:05] Takagi
    You're right.
[17:07] Takagi
    You may hate someone for firing you, but
    usually you wouldn't want to kill them.
[17:13] Sato
    He paid a lot of money for it, too.
[17:15] Takagi
    Yeah.
[17:16] Hamanaka
    Are you certain?
[17:18] Sato
    What?
[17:19] Hamanaka
    I've been doing this job a long time.
[17:22] Hamanaka
    The actions of a criminal hardly fall
    within what's considered sensible.
[17:27] Sato
    A long time? How long
    have you been doing this?
[17:31] Hamanaka
    W-Well, at the very least, I
    think it's been about ten years.
[17:39] Conan
    Hey!
[17:40] Takagi
    Conan-kun?
[17:41] Takagi
    What is it?
[17:43] Sato
    Did you figure something out?
[17:44] Conan
    That's definitely it.

    I was wondering where the bathroom is.

    The bathroom's at the end of the hallway.
[17:54] Conan
    Thanks.
[17:56] Sato
    There's no time.
[17:58] Takagi
    Mori-san.
[17:59] Kogoro
    Do you recall the cases you
    plotted seven years ago?
[18:05] Hamanaka
    What?
[18:07] Kogoro
    Judging by your reaction, you've forgotten
[18:09] Kogoro
    about the robbery that took place
    seven years ago on this day,
[18:12] Kogoro
    for which Wada Tatsumi was arrested.
[18:14] Sato
    What?
[18:15] Takagi
    Does Hamanaka have something
    to do with Wada's arrest?
[18:20] Hamanaka
    I remember now!
[18:22] Hamanaka
    He attacked some black market
    lenders in Beika City!
[18:25] Kogoro
    That's right.
[18:27] Kogoro
    It's the plot for the robbery
    you wrote seven years ago.
[18:31] Takagi
    Y-You mean...
[18:33] Kogoro
    According to police documents,
[18:35] Kogoro
    after attacking the black market
    lenders that were his target,
[18:38] Kogoro
    the high performance security
    cameras of the shopping mall
[18:43] Kogoro
    along his escape route
    captured his escape vehicle,
[18:46] Kogoro
    his license plate number,
[18:49] Kogoro
    and even the driver Wada's face.
[18:54] Kogoro
    It was your mistake for failing to
    take into account the shopping mall.
[19:01] Kogoro
    Wada probably believed it was
    your fault that he was arrested.
[19:07] Kogoro
    The fault of the sloppy plot you wrote.
SIGN    Gas Density
SIGN    Explosion Ready
[19:13] Hamanaka
    You're right. That was my mistake.
[19:17] Kogoro
    In other words, this is what happened.

[19:20] Kogoro
    Wada Tatsumi recently finished his
    sentence and was released from prison.
[19:23] Kogoro
    Several days ago, he visited your office
    for the first time in seven years.
[19:27] Kogoro
    However, you didn't remember
    the robbery or Wada himself.
[19:33] Kogoro
    What's why he chose to act.
[19:36] Kogoro
    He remembered your catchphrase.
[19:40] Kogoro
    He was that fixated on you.
[19:44] Kogoro
    In other words...
[19:45] Sato
    The target isn't Ishigami-san.
[19:47] Kogoro
    No.
[19:48] Kogoro
    His target is you!
[19:50] Hamasaki
    What?
[19:52] Takagi
    Th-Then the detonator is...
[19:55] Kogoro
    Yes.
[19:56] Kogoro
    The detonator is here!
[20:10] Hamasaki
    H-Hello?
[20:12] Wada
    Hamanaka, you know who I am, don't you?
[20:16] Hamasaki
    You're Wada Tatsumi-san.
[20:18] Wada
    Do you know why I called you?
[20:21] Hamasaki
    N-No, I...
[20:23] Wada
    I wanted to hear your voice one last time.
[20:26] Hamasaki
    What? W-Wait!
[20:30] Wada
    Farewell, you fraud.
[20:37] Wada
    Damn. Why isn't it exploding?
[20:40] Conan
    It won't explode, Wada-san.
[20:43] Wada
    Who are you?
[20:45] Conan
    We just shut off the gas,
[20:47] Conan
    and the detonator you installed
    in the air purifier was removed.
[20:52] Conan
    You were first arrested
    for a burglary, right?
[20:56] Conan
    When I examined the entrance
    to Hamasaki-san's office,
[21:00] Conan
    I found signs of lock picking.
[21:02] Conan
    Knowing the detonator was hidden in his
    office narrowed down the hiding places.
[21:08] Conan
    In order to make a gas
    heavier than air explode,
[21:11] Conan
    the detonator needed to be as
    close to the ground as possible.
[21:15] Wada
    Damn.
[21:17] Wada
    But how did you know I was here?
[21:20] Conan
    Because you asked to make the detonator
    remote controlled instead of automatic.
[21:26] Conan
    That's how you'd take your revenge.
[21:28] Conan
    So I thought you'd be someplace
    you could see the explosion.
[21:36] Wada
    I lost.
[21:37] Sato
    Wada Tatsumi, you're under
    arrest for attempted murder!
[23:07] Takagi
    Nice work, Mori-san.
[23:11] Kogoro
    Oh, you know...
[23:14] Sato
    Thanks to you, we were able
    to solve five cases at once.
[23:19] Takagi
    Ultimately, Hamasaki's perfect crimes
    turned out to be armchair theories.
[23:25] Sato
    I know.
[23:26] Sato
    If it means making people hate you enough
    to want to kill you, it's not worth it.
[23:31] Kogoro
    I suppose it was unfortunate for him
[23:35] Kogoro
    that you had a great adviser like me.
[23:41] Conan
    Who do you think you are?

    Please, Yamaarashi-san.

    The sun may forgive you, but I will not!
