Original subtitles

Love and hate are brought together.

Through both reasoning and suspense.

It's summer, the ocean, and the islands!

Start of the case written on the sand.

He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

All right, then. That girl with short brown hair is next.

Her suit's dotted and kind of dull,

so how about the one in the dark one piece.

No, she's kind of chubby.

She is wearing that black bikini to make herself look thinner.

See, I told you. I win again.

You're not very good when it comes to solving this kind of mystery.

Shut up.

What are you two talking about?

Kazuha.

Ran.

Playing "Guess what's kind of swimsuit she's wearing"

with the little boy.

If your parents could see you now,

I'm sure they'd be crying their eyes out.

You don't understand.

This kid kept bugging me about it, I had no choice.

Heiji's really good.

He guessed right off

that you'd be wearing a tiger striped swimsuit, Kazuha!

Shut up!

Tiger striped? You call these tiger stripes?

This is a zebra print. Zebra.

What's the difference?

The only stripes that matter in Osaka are tiger stripes.

Yes, you're right.

Kazuha.

You're not mad at me

for making you wait in front of Big Man in Umeda, are you?

Don't be silly.

Why would I be mad at a stupid boy for making me wait four hours?

I'm not the least bit mad! Not one bit!

She's furious.

I don't blame her.

Just calm down, he invited you to Okinawa to make up for it, didn't he?

I'm not here because he invited me.

I only came here because your father brought me.

Your father, the Sleeping Kogoro.

Tomorrow's the big day, isn't it?

The battle of the best detectives from the East and West!

How do you feel? Are you confident you'll win?

Confident?

No one can be completely confident of anything.

All I'm certain of is, I, Kogoro Mouri will not lose to a kid from Osaka

who's still wet behind the ears, that much, I'm sure of.

The old fool.

"Princess of the Island and the Dragon King's Palace (Part 1)"

Will all the staff gather round?

We're going to go check things out soon!

Check things out?

Yeah, we're going to check out the area on the island,

you and Mr. Mouri are going to tomorrow.

"Masao Taketomi (43)" -It's an uninhabited island,

a body and some strange words were found there.

You want to come along? Young detective from the East.

Might be interesting...

I might be cheating by taking a look around before them,

but if that Kudo helps the old man

and just by chance, he solves the mystery before me,

it's going to burn me up.

Okay, then. I'm going to go check things out with them!

Hey.

That's fine.

What are you talking about?

We're going to put our heads together

and solve the mystery in no time.

To show all the people in Osaka

that we're smarter than the detectives in Tokyo!

But I'm from Tokyo.

Look, that's it!

That's Funaura Island where the unidentified body was found!

It's nicknamed Onikame Island.

Onikame Island?

Take a look.

The tip of the island looks like a turtle's head, doesn't it?

And then? So why are you and old Kogoro going there to solve a mystery?

I guess it's some sort of local event they came up with.

Mr. Kaneshiro's the mayor of that island we were just on,

he told me that members of his family have been kidnapped and robbed,

that's why the island has a bad reputation

and tourism has gone down the drain,

so he called the television station

and they came up with an idea to improve the island's image.

It seems the mayor owns that island, too.

I don't think solving the mystery behind a murder

is going to improve the island's image, though.

They're from the television station,

but Mr. Taketomi's the only one with television experience,

the others are locals who know this area well.

Where're you girls from?

Tokyo?

-Yes. -I'm from Osaka!

"Yoshizuki Kume (25)" -Then how about coming diving with us

after tomorrow's shoot?

"Noburou lkema (24)" -We live here so we know some great spots.

Oh no, no way!

Their schedule's full for today, tomorrow and the day after.

You can't expect them to stick a tube in their mouth

and put fins on their feet to make them look like penguins

so that they can waste time staring at fish in the ocean with you guys!

Huh? Who the hell are you?

Is that kid your boyfriend or something?

I'm glad you asked that.

She's my...

I'm his...

She's nothing

but just an old friend.

And she's a real pest, so you better not try anything with her!

He's not making a lot of sense...

So what's your business then?

Why are you on this boat anyway? You're not part of the crew.

He's Heiji Hatton, the detective from the East.

"Yoshie Taira (26)" -He's one of the main guests,

he's Kogoro Mouri's opponent.

This kid?

But he's still just a kid.

That's what makes it so interesting!

The popular high school detective...

challenges Kogoro Mouri. How's that?

I'm challenging that old fool?

Who cares about that?

Just do what you came here to do

and then let's get back as soon as possible.

"Mikihito Daito (47)" -They say that when it gets dark around here,

"guso's messenger" comes for the "mabui".

Right, captain?

"Takashi Shimoji (38), Crew"

Guso's messenger?

Comes for the mabui?

"Guso" means the nether world,

and "mabui" means soul.

It's an old Okinawa legend.

When a woman is up all night whiling time away...

The messenger from the other world dressed in death's robes

rises silently from the ocean

and sucks her soul out, so they say.

You're giving me the creeps!

I was planning on going for a swim when we go to the island.

It's probably white.

That girl's swimsuit, I bet it's a white high leg cut.

Who cares?

Hey, captain! Don't make so much waves!

She's wearing a black wetsuit.

Huh? That's strange.

From what I've heard, this island...

Heiji!

The director's calling you!

You've got to get to work now.

Yeah. I know...

"The princess sleeps, not in B but in A".

Are you sure the body was found in front of this pillar

with the words carved?

That's right.

He was leaning against it, the words behind him.

They found him a year ago, he died of starvation,

he hadn't eaten or drunk anything for who knows how long.

It was exactly a year ago that several big typhoons passed through here,

so everyone figured he was a crew member

from some shipwrecked ship and got washed up here,

that's what the locals told me.

These strange words puzzle me.

By the way, who built this place?

This island's uninhabited. Who's place is this?

It's Mayor Kaneshiro's.

It seems he used to use it as a vacation house.

It looks like he hasn't fixed it

the typhoon wrecked it, though.

I knew it was white.

You're right, it doesn't look Iike it did the last time I saw it.

I feel like I'm in another dimension.

You mean you come to this island a lot?

Yeah, until two years ago,

I used to look out at this from my ship.

The ocean around here's full of brown striped mackerel scad.

Brown striped mackerel scad?

You guys did too, didn't you?

Yeah. There's a great diving spot right at the tip of this island.

But ever since they found that body, nobody comes near here.

It gives them the creeps.

Oh, well,

Heiji and I will be discussing things around here,

so you go look for other spooky areas on this island.

Look for something that you think will solve this mystery.

Okay.

What?

He doesn't make this show sound so serious.

I bet he doesn't believe in me.

The princess sleeps, not in B but A.

A and B probably refers to 1, 2 and 3.

That means "The princess is sleeping in number 1, not 2".

Hey, Kudo. You got any ideas?

No, nothing.

You sure you haven't figured it out already,

but you don't want to tell me cause you want to beat me?

I wouldn't do that.

Listen, maybe it means the princess sleeping face is the prettiest?

Hey, wait.

Maybe it means

the princess who's usually pretty looks gross when she is sleeping?

That's not grossly impossible.

Hey! Pretty good!

Stop gabbing, ninnies!

Seriously!

Ms. Taira's late. I wonder where she is?

You're right.

It's been about an hour since the rest of us got back to the ship.

Do you think she's still diving?

It's possible.

-Wait up! -Heiji!

I'll search from this side up to the shore.

Okay. I'll take this side!

Hey, Miss Taira! Where are you?

Miss Taira! Miss Taira!

Hey!

Miss Taira.

Miss Taira!

"I am the 'guso's messenger'." (I Death's messenger)

What?

Miss Taira's been murdered?

I can't believe it.

You've got to be kidding!

She was killed about 2 hours ago.

She has strangled something like a thin rope.

She probably got those scratches on her arms and legs

when she struggled as she was being strangled.

Which means the murderer killed her in the woods,

then carried her out her to the beach,

and ran away not too long ago

after leaving this weird message in the sand.

"I am the 'guso's messenger'"?

Hey, young detective.

How do you know that the murderer ran away not too long ago?

It's easy!

Look over there!

The sand's wet up till there.

That means the water was up to there during the high tide.

But the waves are just below the words now,

you'd have had to write them recently

when the tide was low or the waves would wash them away.

Let me also add that

this place is exactly on the other side of the boat landing.

We were all on the boat an hour ago waiting for her to get back.

This kid and I were the first to go look for her,

we split up and went around the island,

then we found her body, which means...

there's somebody else on this island besides us.

And that person strangled her to death.

No way.

Somebody besides us?

Kazuha, you've got a digital camera, don't you?

Yes. I have it with me.

All right then, Kudo.

Let me have that glowing watch of yours and one side of your sandal.

I understand about the watch but why my sandal?

Oh, I get it.

You needed something to show how big the words were.

I have to take a picture now

or they'll get washed away at the next high tide.

Hey, what is this? You didn't need my watch.

I guess not.

Okay then, let's carry her body back to the boat

before she gets washed out to sea.

Okay.

Who'd want to kill her though?

Maybe there's something in the ocean?

Something inside the ocean?

You remember, she went snorkeling as soon as she got to this island.

I'm sure there's something there

for her to be so dead set on diving here.

What do you think they mean?

I don't know, but I think it'd be better if we went back to the boat now

and wait for daylight before we investigate.

I knew he'd say that.

Hey, what'd you done that for?

I don't believe him.

He threw my sandal knowing I'd see him and try to stop him.

Somebody stop Heiji!

He's going to go into the ocean!

So what? He's just going for a swim.

But the key to the murder's in the ocean?

That kid's got guts!

The current around here is fast and to dive at night is reckless,

even a professional diver could end up losing his life.

What?

I'm pretty sure it was around here.

Heiji, don't do it!

It's dangerous!

Heiji!

What's that?

There's something black down there.

That's...

an anchor?

Heiji!

Heiji!

There he is!

Heiji.

Hey, you swim pretty fast!

The current swept me away, you fool!

What? You mean you knew the current around here was fast?

Yeah.

Remember what those guys said?

About there is a lot of brown striped mackerel scads around here.

Well, they're migratory fish

that swim in waters where there's a fast current

and there were a lot of seagulls flying around trying to get the fish.

Is that why you rushed out to look for Miss Taira?

That's right.

I figured that if she was still diving at that time,

she might've been carried out to sea.

But Heiji, you try too hard to look good!

You dummy! I just wanted to solve this case as soon as possible.

Yeah, sure!

I'm sure Heiji wouldn't be so sneaky and cheat

by getting as much information possible beforehand

so that he can beat Uncle Kogoro tomorrow.

You know me. I wouldn't do that.

Anyway, let's take Miss Taira's body back to the cruiser first,

then talk things over.

Where did you say you were taking the body?

You heard me. I said the cruiser...

-What? -The cruiser's gone!

Hey, do you think that captain panicked

when he heard somebody got killed and left us here?

Fool! The only ones who know it was murder are us,

we're the ones who found the body.

Then maybe he's the murderer.

After we all left to look for Miss Taira,

he took the cruiser and got ahead of us,

carried her body out to the beach and wrote those words.

Impossible.

Conan and I were scouring the shoreline at that time.

We'd have noticed if the cruiser went past us.

It doesn't matter anyway.

It seems that the captain holds the key to this crime.

Well, anyway.

We just have to wait for someone to come rescue us.

Yes, you're right.

When the TV station realizes their staff hasn't returned by nightfall,

I'm sure they'll come looking.

Don't hold your breath.

We weren't supposed to come here until tomorrow.

We were having such a hard time getting the boat and setting things up,

so we decided to come here today instead,

and we didn't tell the producer.

You've got to be kidding!

Are you telling me no one knows we're on this deserted island?

Yeah.

I told them we'd get everything done tomorrow.

I just hope you and that captain didn't plan this

to bring the ratings up!

Of course, not.

Don't worry. Everything will be fine!

I'm sure Ran's father will notice we're not back,

he'll come looking for us.

Let's wait inside that house!

Boy, this "awamori" is the best!

Yes.

It is this is a well cured sake, I ordered it special so you'd relax

and your wits would be sharpened for tomorrow's match.

"Hyougo Kaneshiro (63)" -I'll be counting on you

to solve the mystery tomorrow, Detective Mouri.

Whatever the outcome, I'll be prepared for it.

I wonder what's keeping that Hattori fellow,

your daughter and the others?

Oh, you don't have to worry about them.

He probably doesn't want to face me the night before the match.

That seems pretty immature.

Let's forget about those kids,

I intend to drink until morning and sharpen my wits!

Here's to my victory!

I think we're in a lot of trouble here.

I think so, too.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Automatic Pilot"

The next episode will present us with another mystery.

You can leave that to me! The next episode will present us with another mystery.

You can leave that to me!

So you say but you seem to be having a very hard time.
