Detective Conan (1996–…): Season 15, Episode 8 - The Caught Red-Handed Jewel Robber: Part 1 - full transcript

Stars are for some reason attractive.

They can be the culprit or an actor.

When The Youth Detective Squad combines its strength,

they could solve the trick of teleportation.

Find the brooch and let Tagaki's love begin.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

After school, on the way home,

we saw Officer Takagi walking into a jewelry store.

We followed him and went inside the jewelry store out of curiosity.



Surprisingly, we bumped into a jewel robber inside the store!

Officer Takagi and we chased the robber.

But he jumped off the roof of a building and died!

Do you know him?

Yes. The robber fell on the moving truck,

which was carrying the stuff of Mr. Nekota, the man over there.

Have you met these officers before?

No. Why would I have?

I've never done anything bad before!

Below that office is his living space.

That office is four stories above which is the ninth floor.

So this house is on the fifth floor.

-What is this? -It's a strange helmet, isn't it?

Hey!



Is that for a sports bicycle?

Yes, I was into triathlon when I was young.

Where is the bedroom?

I found it!

It's here!

If my deduction is correct...

Then, probably...

It's wet!

Just as I thought, it wasn't a suicide!

Mr. Atomura was murdered by Mr. Nekota,

who disguised the murder as a suicide.

With the time lag and the gap between the buildings.

"A Jewel Thief Caught Red-Handed (Part 2)"

Anyhow...

It's a concrete fact that Takagi bumped into this robber

in the jewelry store and chased him.

Chased him up to the roof of the building.

But Takagi just let him jump off the building

and die right in front of him.

It's a hard fact.

Right. It seems more than just a coincidence though.

The robber crashed onto a moving truck

which was helping the office transfer of the company

that he used to work for but was fired recently.

Yet, it seems there's no doubt about that suicide.

Then, I guess that's it for today.

Sorry, Mr. Nekota,

we need you to come down to the station later.

What? Why do I need to?

Well, we need to ask you some questions

because you were Mr. Atomura's former boss.

Things like what kind of person he was or whether he had financial problems

and all that.

"Sakanobu Nekota (51)" -Okay, I understand.

Down a little! Down...

Just a little more!

It's cold!

Guys, what are you doing?

Nothing!

By the way, I have questions.

Questions?

Right.

A couple of questions for Mr. Nekota.

For me?

I remember what you said to Officer Takagi

when you first came to the scene of the suicide.

You said, "Call your friends and do what you have to do. Just be quick!"

Right.

I'm wondering why you said that.

Well, you know, I got a schedule.

We're not talking about that!

We're asking, how did you know that this

Mr. Ordinary with the boring polo-shirt,

was actually...

was actually a police officer?

That's what the question means!

Yeah, I mean, why not?

A person died, right?

Isn't it natural to think that the police are here?

Yeah, but remember what you actually said?

You asked, "What's going on?"

And you also said that you never met Officer Takagi before!

I see.

You didn't know about the situation,

and neither ever met Takagi before.

It's something that you knew that he is a police officer.

That was probably the atmosphere that made me think so!

You know, something bad happened,

so I just felt the police were here.

Fair enough, next question then!

It's been a while since we got here.

But why are you not getting mad at us?

We're kids, you know?

You might have thought that we're officers if we're adults.

But we're kid and you just let us in without saying anything to us.

A normal person would say,

"Who the heck are those kids?"

Oh, that...

You didn't say anything,

because you knew us, right?

You knew that we were important witnesses of the jewel robbery.

Is that true?

-No. -Wait a minute.

You knew that I was a police officer.

And you also knew that these kids were involved in the robbery.

It can't be!

"Put the jewels in this bag!" -The jewel robber!

It was you, wasn't it?

It's possible.

If that is true,

then it will answer Mitsuhiko's questions.

Oh, please!

Don't you remember?

The robber jumped off the building opposite here

and crashed onto the moving truck!

Let's say I was the robber.

Then where did I go, after jumping off the building?

Isn't it Atomura who fell on the truck?

Also, I'm already 51 years old.

Do you think I have the body to pull away from a police officer

and run up to the roof of a building?

Triathlon!

What?

If you're still into that iron man race,

then that's probably nothing to you, right?

Is that you, Conan?

I was wondering where you were.

Now, where are you, Conan?

I'm in the building opposite!

The robber jumped off, right?

Now I'm going up the stairs to the roof where the robber jumped off!

There's something I wanted to try.

So I told them to throw the questions until I'm ready!

What is it, then?

Can you see me from there?

Yeah, I can see you.

But what are you exactly trying to do?

Hey, don't you remember?

I mean, about what the lady living right above that house said.

She woke up in 2 am midnight

because she heard a noise from the window.

As she looked at the window,

there was a shadow of a thin long stick on the curtain.

I think I got the mystery behind it,

and now I'm going to show that to you all!

Conan?

Okay, that's enough!

I'm helping you guys because it's my former staff

who robbed and killed himself!

It looks like these kids really want me to be the robber.

But it's only kid's shallow cleverness after all.

I can't believe you're actually listening to them!

Again, like I said,

if I was the robber,

then how did I vanish after jumping off the building?

It's impossible! There's no way I could've done it!

Unless I have supernatural powers

to use teleportation or something!

Yes, you can.

What?

You can do it without supernatural power.

Just like that!

Conan?

How did you get here?

I just used this rope

that I borrowed from the people at moving company.

Rope?

First of all, you measure the length

between the balcony of old office in ninth floor

and the balcony of this house that four floor below it.

Next, you get a rope twice the lengths

and put it through the handrail of the balcony in the old office.

Then tie both ends to make a loop!

After that, you connect a little loop to the rope

so it can carry your body.

You throw the rope with the little loop from the balcony

to the roof of the building opposite,

then you're all set!

All you need to do is to rob the jewelry shop

and pretend that you are being chased up to the roof of the building.

There, you cover the rope with the long raincoat,

with the little loop around your waist and jump off the roof.

This brings you straight down to this balcony.

After which you can hid the rope away

by untying the knot.

I see.

I'm actually surprised that you are not hurt at all.

The impact must've been violent when you landed on the balcony.

Just like the robber, I was wearing a helmet.

And also right before the impact,

I blew up a soccer ball with this ball-ejection belt Dr. Agasa invented,

in order to absorb the impact.

That's why I'm totally fine!

In Mr. Nekota's case, he set the bed mattresses in the balcony,

in order to absorb the impact.

Mattresses?

Yeah, they were wet when I checked them a little while ago!

I see! Because they were exposed to the rain, right?

Then, Mrs. Isaka saw and heard the shadow and noise that night,

because you were rehearsing this trick.

Wait a minute!

There was a dead body on the moving truck

when you guys looked down right after the robber jumped off, right?

How would you explain this?

He was on the moving truck from the beginning.

The truck was parked in the back of this building

in order to move things out of the old office above.

Probably...

you told Mr. Atomura to help move, or something like that.

Then you pushed him over the window of your old office.

Yeah, I remember you said,

the whole ninth floor was your old office.

So it was possible to drop him

on the truck even if it was parked in the back alley.

Well, what about the noise?

Well, someone would hear the noise,

if a person falls on the truck, right?

No, because there is water supply work around here,

and it doesn't end until evening everyday.

It's likely that the the water supply work shut off the noise.

I'm sure there was to the truck when the body fell.

So some movers may have noticed something.

Yes, and that's why you told everybody

including the driver to come up to the office, right?

Because you wanted to tell them which things go first and stuff...

The moving people told me that they had to wait for a while in the doorway.

That was probably when you pushed Mr. Atomura over the window,

and threw the rope to the other building.

And then, you closed the blinds!

So that nobody would see the trick when it came in to the office!

I see. So, to sum it up.

First of all, you told the movers

including the driver to come up to the old office,

which was on the top floor of this building.

Then, while you kept them waiting in the doorway.

You pushed Mr. Atomura over onto the moving truck

which was parked in the back of this building.

Next, you threw the rope to the roof of the opposite building.

And then, while the movers were moving the stuff

from the old to the new office,

"Put the jewels in this bag!" -you robbed the jewelry store!

Then Officer Takagi chased you up to the roof of the new office building.

All of these were done just to make this incident look like

the robber committed suicide

after being chased by a police officer!

You got that right! Also, when he jumped off,

he dropped the bag with the jewelries

and the spare helmet which he left on the roof beforehand.

As these things hit the truck,

the people would notice that something fell on the truck!

That's probably why the helmet wasn't on Mr. Atomura's head!

So the robber smiled when I told him,

that I was from the police.

Because he needed someone to chase him

and someone to witness the suicide on the roof.

Yeah. If you weren't there,

he would've probably waited until other police officer came

to the jewelry shop.

Talk about a trick that is unbelievably reliant on luck.

Until you jumped off the building,

surprisingly no neighbors or passersby

actually saw the rope or the dead body.

Well, I guess it was the sloppiness of your plan that

made it possible to solve even for kids.

It wasn't just his luck that people went blind!

What?

It was because of this weather!

You mean the rain?

I get it! When it's raining, people put up their umbrella

and stay away from balcony.

As long as people hold their umbrella,

they won't see what's above their head.

Likewise, as long as people stay away from balcony,

they won't see what's below.

Plus, the mover used the backstreet when they moved the truck

and there were not many passersby on that street.

Under this circumstance,

you would have been the unluckiest person to make people see those things.

That's true.

Yeah, but still,

it was a coincidence that he took action on a rainy day, right?

It wasn't a coincidence!

You canceled moving twice

and postponed it to today, right?

Now, all we need is evidence.

That, I think is somewhere in this house

or around this building. I'm pretty sure!

Because Mr. Nekota showed up at the scene of the suicide

soon after the robber jumped off.

So it must be somewhere around here!

The evidence includes the rope, helmet and raincoat that he used.

Also the thing that he picked up

and put in his pocket at the jewelry shop.

And the brooch that I was going to buy.

I see.

Now, it's whether you hid them or dumped them.

The helmet and raincoat are somewhere in the same place together,

since you didn't have enough time to go far.

We'll probably find the raincoat with that brooch,

as well as the helmet with your fingerprints and hair on it.

Mr. Nekota.

I think it's time you confess.

I don't understand why did you have to take that brooch?

Redemption. I guess?

Redemption?

My company was heavily in the red.

It was necessary to fire those who were close to their retirement age

and those who were on a decline work-wise.

He happened to be one of those people.

I will spill the secret if you fire me.

The things this company has been hiding.

You know, about the deceptive food labeling.

All I'm asking is for is you to let me stay here until my retirement age.

All I need is a life in which I can afford a brooch

like this for my wife's birthday.

Well, my wife might ask me to buy her jewelry

that is more expensive than this, after my retirement age.

But for now, you don't need to worry about that, President.

That's why you killed him.

Yes.

I thought I would be in a morass if I let him keep blackmailing me.

But, why that brooch?

I was thinking of giving it to his wife on her birthday.

And saying it was a present that he left with me before his death.

In fact, it's true that he'd been working very hard

since the company was established.

And not only have I made such person a criminal

but also killed him, I just wanted to run away from the sense of guilt.

So I impulsively took the brooch.

It's ironic. The brooch was supposed to help me flee,

but it actually helped you guys arrest me.

All right. So where is the raincoat with that brooch?

It's in the closet in my bedroom.

Did you hear that, Officer Sato?

Please go and check!

Oh, okay.

I found it!

This wet one, right?

I'm pretty sure you'll like it!

It took at a long time for Officer Takagi to decide!

It looks amazing even without diamonds!

I'm surprised he has pretty good taste.

Why don't you take a look?

Yes.

Officer Sato. Please take a look at it!

That must be it!

Trust me. Miwako was staring at this brooch.

She wasn't even blinking at all!

It's a perfect present for her, isn't it?

But you didn't hear this from me, okay?

Look, coincidence makes girls believe in destiny

and that's where the love deepens!

Let us deepen...

Our love story.

Oh?

This is...

A brooch.

This is the brooch Yumi wanted!

-Officer Yumi? -Yeah.

She was all hyper when she saw this in a magazine.

Speaking of jewelries,

I think Yumi was wearing a bracelet that looked just like

the one that I gave you a few days ago.

Oh, that! I lent it to her!

Cause she said she'd been looking

for a bracelet just like that.

I'm not interested in those shiny things at all.

This necklace looks fabulous!

All right!

I'm gonna try Lieutenant Takano next time.

"Next Episode" -Hey Conan! Come over here! Right now!

We got a client for the Youth Detective Squad!

Just come, we got a nice one.

Watch out!

Guys, get off the floor...

Next time, I'll get what's best for her.

What? A cow?

It's no good?
