Original subtitles

Love and hate are brought together.

Through both reasoning and suspense.

The bright lights of Broadway,

Ran, mother and I work on a big case.

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 the case in Chinatown at Yokohama was solved,

Ran suddenly collapsed and in her delirium,

she recalls a case from the past.

The case was when Mom finagled us

into going with her to see a musical in New York.

Waiting for us in front of the theater was Sharon Vineyard.

A famous actress and also mother's very close friend.

She was going to give us the backstage tour

but as we walked through the wings before the show.

What's that on the ceiling?

Oh, that. They're stage costumes.

They have them suspended up there so it doesn't get in the way.

Look out!

Armor!

Ran!

Ran!

"Shinichi In New York (Part 2)"

Hang in there, Ran.

We're almost there.

We're almost at the hospital, Ran.

Ran!

Are you all right, Ran?

I knew it was me.

Somebody wants to kill me!

I don't think so.

The rope snapped because it was worn out.

All right, who did this? Who hung that thing up there?

Things could've been worse, though.

We were lucky that huge mirror over there didn't break.

You're right, that mirror's our guardian angel.

What are you girls talking about?

You don't owe that mirror or an angel any thanks.

You should thank her.

Thank you. I owe you my life!

It was nothing.

Hey, we should be getting ready by now.

We'll see you in our dressing room after the show then.

Okay.

I must've scrapped it.

Let's see, a bandage. Do I have a bandage?

Here.

I was right, there is no God, after all.

If there was, things wouldn't have turned out so unfairly.

Yukiko, I'm going home.

Weren't you going to watch the show?

Yes, I had intended to

but something important's come up.

Besides, I've heard it's going to storm tonight so I'm canceling.

This is great.

I knew you'd like it.

You don't see musicals of such grand scale in Japan.

But there seems to be one kid who doesn't feel the way we do.

Listen, you. We've come all this way,

the least you could do is pay attention to what's going on.

What's so great about this anyway?

They've just taken a Greek myth and fixed it up into a romantic comedy.

All right, then. What's the Greek myth it's based on?

The Golden Apple.

A long time ago, there were 3 goddesses.

Hera, Athena and Aphrodite.

They had been invited to a banquet

but there was another goddess named Eris who wasn't,

and filled with jealousy, she sent them a golden apple.

With a message reading "To the most beautiful goddess".

What? Isn't that just like...

Yeah, and the three goddesses

decided to let the prince of Troy

choose which one was the most beautiful.

And each vied for his vote by telling him

what they'd give him for choosing them,

that actor we just met,

playing the poor prince, he's the Prince of Troy.

The actress playing the rich man's wife is Zeus's wife,

Hera, the goddess of marriage who promised

to make him the most powerful man on Earth.

That headstrong looking Japanese actress

is Athena. The goddess of wisdom

who promised to make him victorious in battle.

That sexy actress is the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite

who promised to give him the most beautiful woman in the world,

and the gloomy-looking actress in the previous scene

is the one who was jealous of the three.

The one who sent them the golden apples,

Eris, the goddess of discord, even their names sound similar.

But in this play, money is power,

and work is the battle,

and romance is the beautiful woman,

and the golden apple has been transformed

into a necklace of jewels.

And then? So who did he choose?

Aphrodite, of course!

But that was what eventually caused the battle of Troy.

But that's a Greek myth, this musical is a little different,

you're going to be surprised

when you see who that sorry-looking poor prince really is.

Look! You poor souls.

My name is Michael.

Michael? Does he mean the angel, Michael?

He's got to be kidding.

You must heed my words.

What?

Heath.

It can't be...

You're right. He's probably playing...

No, he's not playing.

He's dead.

A gun?

Somebody shot him?

Yes, it looks that way.

I think it'd be best if we got away from here, too.

Mom, take care of Ran!

Shin!

Darn it.

I knew I'd be too late.

A bullet casing?

This is...

What in the world?

I never thought it'd be Heath who'd been shot.

Do you know him, Captain?

My wife's a big fan of his.

What happened?

The performers are waiting in their dressing rooms

but the audience all ran off.

He took a bullet in the chest,

it's embedded in the wings on his back.

The wings on his back? Oh, you mean this?

From the angle of the entry wound,

I'd say he was shot from above at a 40 degree angle.

40 degrees? That's pretty high up.

Of course it is!

The shooter was up there in the balcony seat.

And he used a laser sight.

Night Baroness.

Well, if it isn't Yukiko.

And why are you here?

I just happened to watch the show.

I never dreamed the musical would turn into a mystery, though.

He was shot during the climax where the angel appears,

the fireworks went off and smoke filled the stage.

The image of the angel in the mirror slides up and at the same time,

Heath, dressed as the angel rises up from behind.

It was meant to look surreal,

like he had actually flown out the mirror.

So what you're saying is the shooter shot him from the balcony

as he flew up from behind the mirror.

That's right. And then the shooter threw the gun onto the stage

to cause a panic,

that way, the shooter could get away in the chaos.

Are you sure about that?

About the shooter being in the balcony, I mean.

Of course I am.

Thanks to all the smoke on the stage.

I clearly saw a red beam

leading from the balcony to the stage.

Besides, I think my son saw it, too.

Your son?

Yes, he's standing right beside you.

What?

He's the real thing?

Is this your son, Shinichi, the one you're always bragging about?

Yes, isn't he the splitting image of Yusaku?

And they're both so mischievous, too!

Captain, may I have a word?

What is it?

Shin, can't you behave yourself?

Yeah, yeah.

Yukiko, it seems you were right.

There was a suspicious person

who bought that seat a month ago in advance.

And it seems they couldn't distinguish whether it was a male or female,

Since the person wore a scarf and hat.

That's the shooter. No doubt about it.

But why that seat?

Is that a good seat? Is it expensive?

That seat's at an angle. It's not a very good seat,

that's why it's cheaper.

If someone came with their face hidden

and specifically requested that seat,

they'd leave a lasting impression.

That's exactly what the shooter would want.

I don't understand.

What are these two strange marks on the deceased's body?

Strange marks?

Yes, on his neck, don't they look like burn marks?

And there's blood on his right hand.

Maybe he got it when he grabbed his chest after he got shot.

No, what puzzles me is the blood on his palm is smeared.

It probably got smeared when he touched something

after getting the blood on his hand

but there's no blood on his clothes

and it wasn't possible for him to touch anything

while he was hanging in mid-air.

I don't think even you, Night Baroness can solve that riddle.

No, I can't, not yet.

Then, let's ask Yusaku.

I'm sure he'd know.

No, Yusaku's holed up in a hotel room in Los Angeles now.

That's too bad.

A famous actor's been murdered, what a mess.

The murderer got away

and on top of that, we don't have a single clue.

There's no telling what the people and the Chief will say,

not to mention my wife.

Excuse me.

Then, why don't you let Shinichi solve this?

Let Shin do it?

No way. Impossible.

He's still a child

and this is a real murder we're talking about.

But Shinichi solved the crime that happened in the airplane.

Sure, I'll bet that after the criminal was caught,

he whispered, "I knew it, it's just as I thought", didn't he?

No, he was involved in the investigation from the very start.

He was?

Yes, and in the end, he got all the suspects together

and smugly began to solve the crime,

he acted like he was Holmes or Poirot or something.

My Shin did that?

The murderer is one of those four actresses?

I don't believe it.

Right after the shooting,

I went up to the balcony seat and I found this bullet casing,

it wasn't hot, it proves someone Ieft it there beforehand.

But you saw it too, didn't you?

There was a red beam from that balcony seat to the stage.

Yes, that's what it looked like,

but there's no way we could tell

where that beam came from and where it was directed.

That's right.

That beam probably came from the stage. Not from the balcony.

It was to make us think it was coming from up there.

What I'm trying to say is,

the person who hid their face to reserve that seat

and the strange package that arrived

was all a ruse to make us think

someone was after the actresses.

Really?

I see.

And of course, this is part of it too.

This is where that suit of armor fell just before the show started.

Look at the floor.

There's thin fishing line tied to the nail,

and there are markings on the floor beside it,

it looks like something was cut.

And there's a fishing line on the suit of armor that fell, too.

Are you saying somebody did this deliberately?

That's right, the culprit probably had a blade

or some kind attached to their shoe and used it to cut the line

causing the armor to fall.

The culprit knew that Sharon's friends,

that's us, would pass through here

during our backstage tour.

Which means, the culprit

is someone who was here to drop the armor,

and was also one of the performers on stage with Heath,

that way she could aim the beam at the balcony

then shoot him.

Anyone of those four actresses could have done it.

But he's 6'3 tall.

All of them are under 6'.

How could anyone of them shoot him from overhead

when he is taller than them

and on top of that, he was behind the mirror.

Yes, he's right. Explain that, Shin!

I haven't figured that out yet.

I see.

Lila, where you telling me the truth just now?

Yes, Heath and I were seeing each other,

we had been for about 5 years.

Then you knew he was also going out with me, too.

Will you two calm down?

Must you talk about that today of all days?

Hey, now.

I'd think you'd be the most upset about this.

Your boyfriend has 2 other girlfriends.

You mean you too, Rose?

Were you dating him, too?

I see.

Those four do seem to have a motive for killing Heath.

Why?

I know he was dating the three of them,

but Everess doesn't seem to be involved with him.

Unlike the others,

she doesn't have a photo of him on her mirror.

The truth is Everess and Heath are married.

What?

Sharon told me secretly

when we were being given the backstage tour.

She said it was a secret

because his popularity would drop if it became public.

So that's why she hated him

because he was dating the other three?

But what we have to figure out is,

how he was shot from above?

Rose was the closest to the mirror,

but, she was on the ground, acting the part of a startled woman.

Everess was staggering.

Akane was on her knees praying.

The only one able to shoot him from above

was Lila who was standing and clutching her head,

but unlike the others who were hidden by the smoke,

Lila's hands were in plain view,

everyone would have seen her take a gun out.

Do you think it's possible Heath bent down?

I doubt it, those wings were foot operated

and rigged so he couldn't bend down.

Hey, Shinichi.

Have you come up with something?

Hey, Shinichi. Wait a minute.

You've figured it out, haven't you?

Don't keep me in suspense, tell me about it.

Hey, Ran. How tall you are?

160 centimeters.

That'd be 5'3.

This pamphlet is about 12 inches,

so that's one feet.

I hate to ask but can you put this on your head

and stand in front of the mirror?

What?

What's this supposed to prove, Shinichi?

What are you going to do?

Clues...

I'm looking for a clue.

A clue?

See, up over there.

There's a small crack.

That's strange. This mirror's been with the troupe for years,

it's their guardian spirit.

Sharon told me they took good care of it

because they thought it'd be bad Iuck if it got cracked.

Hey, what's this?

It looks like it's been patched!

Are you sure they took good care of this?

Don't you think this curtain's a little crooked?

Somebody might've bumped into it when they were trying to get to safety.

Hey, Shinichi, let's go back already.

We're going to get scolded.

A feather?

How'd it get stuck here?

This cover of the floor isn't used for anything.

Blood.

I get it now.

The killer used that certain stage prop to commit the crime.

This bloody crime

was committed by someone like that sneaky goddess Eris.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Trap Door"

Ran, the next hint really burns me up.

I knew it, you've got animal instinct.
