Original subtitles

And, how was it?

Did you find out about the old man

who used to know Eisuke Hondo as a child?

You got to talk to his grandson, didn't you?

-Yeah. -What do you mean, "Yeah..."

Tell me about it.

I'm a bit concerned too, you know.

I got to meet the grandson of the man who said he knew the man

and his friend.

They gave me a lot of information

and a picture.

A picture?

Oh, of Eisuke Hondo when he was a child,

a man behind him that's supposed to be his father.

Wow, you did it, Kudo!

And? Do you remember seeing that man somewhere?

No, I don't.

According to his grandson's friend, he seems to have said,

"The time has come to dive."

"Dive?"

And the man's friends seem to have said things like,

"Give it your best shot." Or, "Take care."

When you say "dive",

it usually means going underwater or into the sea, right?

Yeah, since the friend of the grandson

was told that the man was an office worker,

he thought that man was going diving or something.

But more correctly,

that man was just any other office worker

who was hired by "the Company."

The company?

Kudo, don't tell me that's...

Yeah, I don't know if that "Company"

is what we think it is

or just any other company.

But, the man told me that the old man

really got along with that man,

and that they used to have deep conversation with each other.

Taking into consideration that he was an unmatched suspense fan,

he figured from the way he talked

or characteristic way of saying things...

So he may be a member of "the Company"

that we're thinking of.

Yeah.

But, Kudo,

if it turns out to be true, it's big trouble.

I think it's best to watch how things go

without doing anything for now.

What would you do?

If you were in my position?

Well, if it were me, I'd just go for it.

I mean, no, I would...

I'd do exactly what you would.

I'll pry as deep as I can into it.

Until the curiosity within me dries out.

Hey, Conan, just how long are you going to stay locked in there.

I'm leaving without you!

Oh, sorry, I'll be right out.

Hey, don't tell me you're talking about something important like this

in the restroom?

I wonder if he has a stomachache or something.

Ran! Let's just leave that brat behind

and go to the hospital.

After all, we're going to visit our intermediate school days classmate.

But, you haven't eaten lunch yet either, have you, Sonoko?

So, I thought that we could drop by and have lunch

after visiting the hospital.

Because dad is at the horse races

and Conan would have to stay home alone so...

Sorry, Hattori. I'll call you if I find out anything more.

Hey, hold it.

Be careful.

Kudo.

Sizzling hot suspense.

A red scream and black bullet whizz through the darkness.

Intertwined in the mystery of the Black Organization

are Eisuke Hondo and Rena Mizunashi.

The curtains of the new series are ready to unfold!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

No case is left unsolved with Detective Conan.

"Red and Black Crash: Prologue"

"West Beika Hospital"

Bye. See you!

I tell you, that Aya.

I mean we rush over super worried because we heard that

her appendicitis was on the verge of bursting.

Yet she turns out looking just great

saying that she wants to fill her stomach with cake and parfait!

All for the better, since she seems to be doing great.

Oh, no. Talking about food made my stomach growl.

Let's go eat right now then!

The burger shop that opened near here is pretty popular!

Of course they also have

the "children's set" that Conan loves too.

It's the plate that comes with the toy.

Then shall we invite him over to come too?

Him?

That klutz!

Oh, Eisuke!

Him!

Oh, Ms. Mouri and Ms. Suzuki!

I'm sorry.

Hey, are you all right?

Yes, somehow...

What brings you all here?

We went to visit a friend at the hospital.

Don't tell me that he's come here because

he's aware Rena Mizunashi is hospitalized somewhere?

Isn't this Rena Mizunashi?

You know, the popular announcer that's on leave now?

You're right.

She looks much younger than now, though...

Oh, no,

she's my older sister!

Huh? Older sister?

Not! You mean that announcer!

No, although they look alike, they're not the same person.

Their name's are different to

and besides, my sister left home ten years ago.

She left home?

That's why I'm carrying this picture around

and looking for her.

But, why are you looking around hospitals?

Sis used to always say that

she wanted to be a nurse in the future.

Besides, the hospital

is the place where my sister saved me many times.

I kind of feel that she's somewhere near hospitals.

She saved you?

I was a klutz since I was a child, and not only that,

but also sickly,

so sis used to take me to the hospital all the time.

If I got hurt and bled, she would say,

"You've got to take good care, because God blessed with blood"

"that you can share with everybody else."

But, on the contrary, it turned out that

sis was the one who shared her blood with me.

A little before sis disappeared, I was badly wounded...

and I got a huge amount of blood transfusion from her.

The blood flowing through my body

is my sister's.

I felt my sister's kindness each time my heart throbbed.

However, when I was discharged from the hospital,

my sister was gone.

Maybe she thought that if she stuck around any longer,

she would've had to give you all her blood.

Hey, Sonoko!

I have no idea why sis disappeared,

but I want to see her one more time

and tell her thank you from the bottom of my heart.

After all, I'm alive now thanks to her.

A blood type that can be given to anyone.

What he just said doesn't sound like a lie.

I guess it wouldn't be wrong to say

he's looking for his older sister.

That's just like us.

Remember, some time back I gave you a lot of my blood too.

Can you feel my kindness too?

Yep. Sure thing...

But, isn't there a chance that Rena Mizunashi

and your older sister are one and the same?

I don't think that's possible.

Why not?

If she's on TV, she may not be using her real name?

Well, yes, but...

Why don't we do this then?

One of dad's friends is a great fan of Rena Mizunashi,

and seems to have video taped her a lot.

So, let's ask him to show them to us!

If you take a good look at her, it may turn out that

she's your older sister, right?

I guess so.

It's okay with me.

Right, why don't we show that picture to him too?

We may be able to find out if it's Rena Mizunashi.

Okay.

Yes, at any rate, let's head off.

Before starting off, let's have lunch!

Let's go.

I'm really craving hamburger right now.

Yes, hello.

Oh, long time no talk. This is Ran Mouri speaking.

Do you remember me?

He has a dog.

My name is Mouri.

Excuse me, is this Mr. Anno's residence?

No, it isn't!

Oh no, I called the wrong number.

Cool it.

But if Eisuke's older sister

is really Rena Mizunashi, that announcer,

it's big news, you know.

Oh, long time no talk, this is Ran Mouri.

You again.

I'm telling you've got the wrong number!

Strange, it can't be...

Maybe he had to move away suddenly?

But dad didn't say a word about it.

Then, why don't you ask him one more time?

"Bus Stop: Horse Racing Track"

What, Anno's phone number changed?

That can't be.

I asked him to come play mahjong just the other day.

But, when I called, he said I had the wrong number.

Didn't he say anything about moving?

Then, go to his parent's house and ask.

They live near the hospital

you said you were going to visit today!

Huh, you want to know if my son moved?

Yes, when I called a while ago, it seems that his number changed.

Strange. I called him just a while ago.

According to my son, he said that he had a cold

and his voice sounded funny.

He also said that he had to cancel the trip

he was planning to take on Thursday and Friday.

Oh, and he also mentioned that

his cell phone broke yesterday, so his number changed.

Maybe that's it?

No, I called his residence...

You're Mr. Mouri's daughter, right?

I'm sorry, but can we talk about this later?

I'm sort of tied up right now

and got to rush over to the bank.

Didn't your son mention that he was in some kind of trouble?

Yes, sort of...

And I'm sure he went on to say,

"I don't want anybody to know about this,"

"so don't talk about it to anyone"

The fact is, one of his colleagues took company money and fled.

He was about to start a new business and was told that

he had to deposit the money today

or, the company itself would go bankrupt.

So, I told him I'd talk to his father first

and do something about it

but he said he had no time left.

What did he tell you to say when you go to deposit

the money into his account?

Of course he told me to tell the bank that

this is an emergency since it's money to be used for business.

What kind of business is it?

I think it has something to do

with a shop selling authorized Rena Mizunashi goods

or some mail order goods?

After all, she's popular.

I guess so. Internet shopping is also a trend right now so...

No, wrong.

It's true that it's going around though...

"Anno"

Go... going around?

This brat must think that it's a cold going around or something.

No, I don't.

I just think that the person who called

doesn't want to do what you just mentioned, Sonoko.

Why not? The man on the phone was this lady's son

and a great fan of Rena Mizunashi.

And, he's the one who wants to start a business.

So, it's got to be a Rena Mizunashi goods shop

or an internet shopping site. Don't you think?

How can you be so sure that it's not right?

But, I wonder if your son's okay.

If his money was stolen, it has to be taken care of right away.

Yes, that's why I was thinking of going to the bank

to put up the money for now.

Oh no, the counters will close soon!

Bye, I'm sorry. I'll talk to you later.

Wait!

Your son caught a cold and cancelled his trip, right?

Yes.

Then, isn't something funny?

Why would he be as easygoing as to take a trip

just when he's about to start something new?

He's going to entertain his business partners.

He was going to take the trip to entertain the people

who he would be doing business with from now.

But, he said his cell phone was broken and changed his number, right?

Huh? So what?

He changed his phone number since he got a new cell phone.

I mean, after all, his starting a new business, right?

But, he called his mother yesterday,

to tell her that his number had changed, right?

If he changes his phone number at a busy time like this,

I think that a lot of people will be troubled.

That's true.

He's got to notify all his colleagues and business partners

of his new phone number.

I don't think he would do something like that at a time like this

unless he had a good reason for doing so.

Then, why?

Maybe he was getting a lot of prank calls?

Come to think of it,

he did mention getting a lot of silent calls before.

What?

He also mentioned that after that his house was broken into too.

Broken into?

I'm sure the burglar called him to verify

whether he was home or not.

Well, he always carries his valuables around with him,

so it seems that nothing was taken back then.

No, I think a wiretap was set up.

Wiretap?

I think that the one who broke in set up a wiretap back then

to check out your son's way of talking and voice.

Of course he knew that your son

would be on a trip this Thursday and Friday,

and the room would be empty too!

But, he said he caught a cold and cancelled the trip.

He's in his room right now.

Was the man really your son?

Yes, I'm sure. I thought that his voice was hoarse

because of his cold.

The phone number that was displayed was his house phone too.

There was also a dog barking. The dog barks a lot.

It's always barking bow-wow near the phone.

But a dog's bark is even more difficult to distinguish

than the voice of people, is it?

He probably made a dog with the same kind of voice

bark near the phone...

No, it could've been a tape or CD.

Huh, why would he go all out like that for?

So that you would completely believe that he's your son.

Hey, wait!

Don't tell me it's a bank transfer scam?

Because he's calling under the pretense of your son

and says he needs the money right away.

But, it's just this brat's imagination.

No, he's got a point, though!

If the culprit snuck into your son's room and is calling from there,

the number displayed on your screen would be that of your son's.

Furthermore, if he made you listen to the dog bark in the background...

He would completely deceive you into thinking he is your son.

Then, why did he say, "wrong number" when I called?

You again, I said you have the wrong number!

Maybe that man was waiting for you to call.

Yes, I guess so.

He said to call him as soon as I transferred the money.

I'm sure that he was going to inform the others

that you transferred the money,

so that they could withdraw the money right away and flee.

I guess he didn't have the time to be answering a call

from somebody else at a time like this,

and still pretend to be your son.

Moreover, he called you just before the closing time of the bank.

The more time you don't give the target to think,

the more successful this scam works.

Of course, he tells you not to talk about it to anyone

to keep you from realizing that it's a scam.

He told you to tell the teller

that it's money to be used for business, for the same reason.

This scam is widespread now,

that unless you say something like that,

the teller will get suspicious too.

I heard all this on the "Afternoon Wide Show" TV program.

You sure remember a lot of things, like usual, don't you, Conan?

You're just like a housewife who has nothing better than

to watch TV in the afternoon.

Which means that his cell phone breaking

and his phone number being changed are probably all lies.

He said all this so that you won't try to

get a hold of your son who is on a trip.

Yep, so I think you can find out right away if this is a scam or not

by calling your son's original cell phone number!

The number you have called

is either not within service range or switched off

so cannot be connected.

-The number you have called... -Oh my, it won't connect.

Then, does it mean that it's true that his cell phone broke?

Where did your son go?

Sado, in Niigata.

I think he was scheduled to come home by 7:00 tonight.

7:00...

It takes an hour from Sado to Tokyo on the Jet Foil.

Then, it takes 2 hours and a half from Niigata on the Bullet train.

Calculating backwards,

he should be on board the Jet Foil and out at sea.

Sometimes cell phones are out of the service area if you're out at sea.

So, the culprit had all that figured out too.

I've got less than ten minutes.

I've got to go to the bank for sure this time!

No, don't go, Ma'am!

You're persistent, aren't you?

My son's saying that if he can't get hold of 10 million yen by today,

he's going to have to borrow it from loan sharks.

If he does so, then there'll be no turning back.

"Beika Central Bank"

What? You couldn't transfer the money?

No, because I had some sudden guests

and couldn't get to it right away.

I'm really sorry.

I told you to hurry it up.

You should've left right away after my call.

But, you did say that

you were going to the loan shark for the cash,

so I guess all you have to do is come up with the money for today

for the moment, right?

Yeah, I guess so.

Will my sugar-bowl savings be able to cover for the time being then?

Sugar-bowl savings? How much?

I was saving up just in case, for times like this.

I've got about 2 million yen.

I sent you the card together with the pass code yesterday

so that you can withdraw the money, so it should already be there.

Won't that do?

Yeah, I guess I can make do for the time being.

I'll go withdraw the cash right now.

I'm sorry I yelled at you, Mom.

Who are you?

Well... you see.

Darn it! Move it!

So, the culprit of the bank transfer scam was arrested right away.

His accomplice who was waiting for the transfer at the bank

was also arrested,

and this alleged bank transfer scam was prevented

before any damage was done.

In other words, the simplest and most effective method

of not being taken in by such scams

is to not make rash decisions alone.

And, though it doesn't matter who, talk about it to somebody!

By putting the situation into words and explaining,

you can organize the situation

and take in the situation more calmly.

This way, if they or the person they discuss with

are even a little bit suspicious...

This kind of scam can be prevented.

Mom.

What? You were targeted by a bank transfer scam!

You, mom!

Yes. But, these children kept me from being deceived.

It's been a long time. I'm Ran Mouri.

Hi Aina, long time no see.

Oh, I see, you're Mr. Mouri's...

But, what brings you here?

We came to see you.

We have a favor to ask you, sir.

This person.

We want you to take a look at Rena Mizunashi's picture.

Next Conan's Hint:

Blood transfusion.

Ran, what blood type are you?

The same as Shinichi's.

Me too... I mean, of course.
