Original subtitles

Friendship, love and mystery.

We stick it out because we believe promises will be kept.

Ran's mom and my mom

have a deduction match that even scares Pops off.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Here's your dish, sir.

It's scallop in ravioli with broccoli puree.

Looks delicious!

It's what you expect of a three star restaurant!

Excuse me, but will you bring wine that's suits this cuisine,

and choose one from the expensive wines, please?

Yes, sir.

Dad, are you sure? Can you pay?

Don't you worry.

I've got a big, easy job on my hands.

I don't remember any such request.

Today, while you were in school, I got a call.

From a wealthy madam.

She says that somebody in her premises is after her husband's life,

and she will shell out 10 million yen if I find out who it is.

10 million yen!

I don't believe it.

I've got the contract and 500 thousand yen deposit.

They seem to have enough evidence

that somebody on the premises is doing it.

You just make a little use of your brain, and the case is closed!

"Two Princesses of a Kind (Part 1)"

And? Did he find out who is after the rich man?

Well, dad went to that house

but their evidence turned out to be very weak.

Dad was completely at a loss what to do.

He is now drunk and asleep on the couch.

A shame.

If he has time to drinking,

he should use it for calling the client and declining the offer.

But before calling the client,

he got happy and partied up with the neighbors,

and already used up 3 million yen.

3 million yen, you say?

Holly Nelly!

But I suppose I can manage that amount of money.

And another thing...

Do you have anything else to say?

Yes.

He tried to get back the money, and...

Excuse me for interrupting.

What? He lost 5 million yen in horse racing?

I thought Pops would do it some day. And this is the day.

The debt in total is 8 million and 57 thousand yen.

What shall we do, mom?

Just leave him to fend for himself and come stay with me!

But dad talked in his sleep calling...

"Eri, help me. Eri, please."

Are you listening, mom?

Mom?

Okay. I'll be there right now, so you just wait.

What? Miss Kisaki!

You are supposed to meet with Mrs. Nakanishi at 3 o'clock.

Would you put it off to next week?

She will talk about divorcing her husband

but she just wants to complain about him.

Tell her I hate to get involved with the trouble my husband got into,

but I have to, and she will understand.

Okay.

Well, Miss Kuriyama, take care of the office please.

Okay.

Does she really hate to, I wonder?

Help... help me.

I had enough.

He has been like this.

Gosh.

I can't. Not anymore.

Here, I've come to you.

Now wake up, darling.

I'm full. I can't eat anymore.

What?

I can't, Yoko, dear.

What's that?

But he was really asking for help.

It could be this TV program.

This has been Yoko Okino's 4 minutes' cooking.

Until next week, everybody.

You could be right.

Mom, you're not leaving us?

No, I won't do such a childish thing.

But get this straight.

I'm doing this for you

and not for that dummy!

Yes, mom.

I can't eat anymore.

Childish enough.

I see.

So, somebody is after the life of that Mikio Fujieda.

You know about him, mom?

Yes, I heard about him.

He'd been playing around a lot when he was young, I heard,

and he made up to a young daughter of a wealthy man

and got married into her family.

Then he took advantage of the money

to make a small fortune in his dubious business.

Then, the daughter is your client?

No.

From what I heard, his wife died of an illness a half year ago,

so I suppose he got married again.

What? It's so soon after she passed away.

Anyway, he doesn't seem to be

the kind of person you'd want to protect his life of.

I have been waiting for you, ladies.

You're here on behalf of Mr. Kogoro Mouri, I presume?

That is correct.

I am Souhachi Ueki, the butler for the past 50 years for this house.

Please feel free to ask me for anything,

and I'll be at your service.

Excuse me for...

You have a cold?

No. I've got chronic asthma.

I apologize for the unpleasant sound I make.

Please come this way, ladies.

What a fine garden, this is.

The garden looks so well cared for.

Yes, it does. The late madam loved gardening.

With that gardener over there,

we three used to work in the garden.

I see.

The garden is marvelous!

Please pay no attention to him.

He used to be more sociable,

but from about the time Mr. Fujieda came into the family,

he stopped talking to people except for Madam and me.

But nowadays, when I talk to him,

he does not reply at all.

He must have liked her very much.

I mean my sister that died of an illness.

This is Mr. Shigeru Fujieda, the brother of the late madam.

And who are these beautiful ladies,

and the little one?

They are here on behalf of Mr. Mouri.

Yes, I mean, no, we are rather...

I am Eri Kisaki, the legal advisor for the Mouri Detective Agency.

I was asked to get the details of the case,

and when I talked of it to Miss Mouri, she got interested.

Are we inconveniencing you in any way?

Of course not.

Mr. Ueki, may I talk to you a while?

Excuse us, ladies.

See you again.

Say! Why didn't you say you're Mrs. Mouri?

If I did, they would underrate me.

And what's more, he looks cool and cute.

Mom!

So, it's you.

The one who is on behalf of the detective that is fool enough

to seriously take the prank that somebody is after my life,

and started investigating?

Well, this is just for routine investigation.

Then, do snoop around to find the culprit.

It's one of the workers who got insulted by the words I used on them.

Why spend ten million yen on this kind of nonsense?

Just the type of man I pictured him to be.

I'm with you.

I am so sorry, ladies.

He is in a bad mood today, I guess.

Are you his daughter, Miss?

No, no.

I'm Motoka. I'm Mikio Fujieda's wife, and your client.

-What? -But you are so young.

It's love that counts not the difference of age!

This much difference could be a crime.

But I'm so glad

to know that you're here on behalf of the detective.

Why, may I ask?

Because if such a beauty like you is the lover of Mikio,

I, Motoka, can't possibly compete!

Ran, should I be happy or what?

I'd say marginal, mom.

Anyway, would you show me

the things that point out that someone on the premises

is after your husband's life?

Yes. They are all gathered up and in the study, so follow me.

The memo sheets printed with a word processor that say

"Watch behind you!" and "I'll send you to heaven."

A bullet that is already used.

They were under your husband's pillow every night

for three consecutive days.

Yes, they were. Terrifying, aren't they?

If it's for fun or a joke, it's gone too far.

And?

Did you have the police look into the finger-prints on them?

Yes. But Mikio got mad about it

and shouted, "Who did this?"

Then he showed the things to everybody in the house.

Naturally everybody's fingerprints are on them,

and they aren't of any use.

Nobody can do anything about that.

Yes?

There's a lady who'd like to meet you.

What? What is she like?

She is as beautiful as the lawyer, Miss Kisaki there, madam.

What?

This time, she happens to be the real lover of...

No, Conan!

If you have no idea of the person,

may I ask her to leave this place, madam?

No, wait! I'll meet her.

She is in the hall, isn't she?

Mister, I see there are surveillance cameras here and there.

Yes, madam. After the incident,

for security reasons, we have set up those cameras.

I want to have more cameras installed,

but Mr. Fujieda says these will do because he is certain that

someone in the house is playing a prank on him.

And he also said that he does not want to waste money

on a house that is going to get ruined.

Ruined?

You sneaky thief!

What are you here for? Go home this minute!

I know it! You're Mikio's lover!

I know you are after the inheritance.

But you won't get anything at all from us!

I told you and I tell you, I'm not for it.

Huh?

It's Eri.

Yukiko!

Mom!

You and your elaborate make-up to hide your age,

but you just failed in trying, you old Teitan High Princess.

What you said more aptly applies to you,

you old ghoulish queen.

Wait and calm down, you two.

It's been a long time, Yuki!

Yes, yes. You been happy?

What?

It's been ten years now?

It was before you divorced Kogoro, Eri.

Not divorced yet, Yuki, just living separately.

We are still married in a way.

But it's been since the high school festival

that someone called me a princess.

Good old days.

That Miss Teitan High School contest

brought such enthusiasm with the Princess and Queen competition.

Miss Teitan High? Was there a contest then?

Well, I remember Sonoko told me something about it once.

Some 20 years ago,

there was a legendary queen contest that shook Teitan High School.

The contestant on one side was the Princess of Teitan High,

whose lovely look and acting power of a genius helped her debut.

And the contestant on the other side was

with a gifted mind and who got perfect on the Todai entrance exams.

At the age of 16, she was recommended to study abroad at Harvard.

Gifted with both beauty and intelligence, the Queen of Teitan High.

But I never thought that the two were our moms.

And which one was the winner?

Both of them were well known

and their fans all over the country came to see them.

The commotion ended up in the competition being suspended.

I see.

That's why there's no festival competition in Teitan High since then.

And, who on earth is she?

Huh?

She seems to be an acquaintance of Miss Kisaki,

but I am very embarrassed as the wife of Mikio

if she is his lover.

Are you?

No, I am not!

Yusaku asked me to...

Excuse me, but aren't you Yukiko?

Yes, I am.

I am Shigeru Fujieda. I asked Yusaku to solve the case

and figure out the mystery.

He said he is very busy as he is engaged in a certain job right now.

So he said he would send his wife in his place.

I did not expect such a beauty.

Don't you know her?

She was the star of the silver screen, Yukiko Fujimine.

Excuse me for not recognizing her.

I am not familiar with that part of the world.

Yusaku and I met at a party of mystery writers.

I talked to him the other day about when we happened to be in L.A.

and asked him for help for what has been happened here.

Then, do you write mysteries, too?

Yes, I do. But I have no bestsellers as he does yet.

Besides, since I lost my sister,

I am just a freeloader in this house.

Unlike the newlywed Mrs. Fujieda who hired Detective Mouri

for a fee of 10 million yen to protect her husband's life,

in my case, I asked him to do the job for free.

10 million yen?

Does Kogoro ask for such a preposterous fee?

If all he did was just ask, I'd be as happy as a lark.

What? You don't say!

He's spent 8 million yen already?

That's why I'm here, on his behalf.

And, where is he now?

In the office, drunk and lying on the couch.

He can't get up even if he wants to.

What? What's this?

Hey! Come on!

Hey!

Ran! Where are you?

Hey!

I see.

These show that it's not just a joke.

But the evidences are only those three items.

It would be a miracle if you can close in on the culprit with them.

But we have him with us,

so the miracle could happen.

That reminds me.

You were with Conan in the last case, weren't you?

That's true.

He solved one mystery after another so quickly.

It's just what I would expect of my...

Of your?

Of my...

Grandpa's brother's daughter's cousin's uncle's grandson.

A sort of, you know.

Oh, he is, I see.

Anyway, first we need to meet Mr. Mikio Fujieda

and ask if he can think of anything

that may have caused someone to want to go after his life,

and we'll start investigation from there.

That will not be possible, I should say.

Right now, Mr. Fujieda is reading a book

in the audio room while listening to classical music.

Please allow one to two hours before entering the room.

He will really get angry if interrupted while reading.

Is that so?

How can he be so unconcerned

when his life may be in danger?

But, is he safe being left alone?

Do you care to look inside the room?

We can watch it through the surveillance camera installed in the room.

For a facility that was hastily built, it's great!

I see they are still not sufficient enough, madam.

I understand. This place is so large

that it's not easy to take care of completely.

So this is the audio room,

and this is the surveillance room.

If something happens, you'll have to take time coming up here.

Who's on duty to monitor the room?

Myself and the house maids take turns.

Wait a minute.

There's somebody in the garden!

-What? -Over here.

A man wearing a knit cap.

He is Doi, the gardener, madam.

But what is he doing at this late hour?

He is working with more care than usual.

Tomorrow is the birthday of my late sister.

Well, I have to go and finish up the manuscript.

Ueki, take care of everyone while I'm not available.

Yes, sir.

I really want to stay longer with the beautiful ladies,

so it is regrettable.

It really is regrettable.

-Huh? -Regret what?

Because you two competed against each other for Miss Teitan, didn't you?

It is regrettable that the competition was suspended

before they got the final result.

-Oh, that. -But they did get the final result.

Each of us got exactly 10,000 ballots, it was a tie.

But the strange thing was that,

the number of ballot s prepared was 20,001 ballots,

so it shouldn't have turned out a tie.

They were one ballot short.

There was a great commotion over the missing ballot.

That's why the commendation ceremony was suspended, wasn't it?

Talk about nonsense.

But if you got that one ballot, Yuki, you would've won.

Of course not. I couldn't win over you.

Say. Did the ballot bear a golden color seal on it?

What? Yes, it did.

The seal of Teitan High on it.

Then I found a ballot in dad's uniform pocket of Teitan High School.

What?

I found it when I was trying to dispose of old clothes.

So now I know. That was the ballot for the contest.

Which? Which name was on it?

Was it Eri? Or me? Which?

But dad seemed to have washed the suits with the paper in it,

and the paper was torn into pieces.

Really?

Be honest and tell the truth, Ran.

Ran, you don't have to worry about your mom.

No. I mean, honest.

Well, you can always ask him for sure.

His hands!

The master is holding up his hands!

What does that mean?

Somebody came into the room and pointed a gun?

That can't be.

When I brought him coffee

and came out of the room just a while ago,

I'm sure the door was locked from inside.

It can't be! He was shot!

He'd been shot!

Where is the spare key to the room?

It's in my room, madam.

Go and get it quick!

Then, I will call the police.

And an ambulance, too.

Hurry and call them.

What's the matter here?

Hey, Mikio!

Are you all right, Mikio?

We are in a pickle.

But did Mikio really go down?

Yes, he did after he held up his hands.

Gun... gun shots?

Gosh!

-Would you do it, Ran? -Sure.

Do what?

Here is the key, madam.

Master!

Master!

The worst has happened.

It did.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Bookmark"

Next episode! Pops is in danger.

-Which is it! -It's come! (I've been shot!)

I haven't shot the needle in you yet, Pops.
