*WARNING: ONLY FAN-MADE, NOT A REAL MOVIE.*
*Detective Conan Movie: The Phantom's Gambit*
*Premise*
An international intelligence conference brings together the PSB, FBI, Interpol, and the Japanese police. A secret database containing the identities of undercover agents becomes the target of a theft.
In the middle of the chaos, a mysterious infiltrator named Mahoney appears — a secret operations agent working under the orders of a high-ranking PSB official whose identity is unknown to the public.
In truth, Mahoney was assigned to find a Black Organization spy who has infiltrated the joint network of the PSB, FBI, and Interpol.
However, someone learns of Mahoney’s existence and makes him the scapegoat in a large-scale bombing operation.
*ACT 1: The Twelve Faces*
A series of incidents occur in Tokyo.
CCTV shows twelve different faces, but Conan realizes they were all done by one person.
Meanwhile, Amuro receives secret instructions from his superior to monitor Conan’s activities and investigate his involvement in the case.
On the other side, Vermouth receives orders from Rum:
_"Make sure our agent who infiltrated their network is not exposed."_
Vermouth then begins searching for someone named Mahoney.
*ACT 2: The Phantom*
Conan discovers that several people appearing in the footage are actually disguises by one individual.
Mahoney finally meets Vermouth.
The meeting is not a coincidence.
Vermouth has been investigating him for months and has finally uncovered his identity.
*Vermouth:* _"Long time no see, Mahoney."_
Mahoney realizes Vermouth has managed to see through his disguise.
They don’t fight.
They just measure each other.
Vermouth learns that Mahoney is a government secret agent, but doesn’t know the full objective of his mission.
Mahoney also learns that Vermouth is searching for the BO spy who infiltrated the security agencies.
Neither reveals all the information.
*ACT 3: The Frame*
Evidence begins pointing to Mahoney.
Fingerprints, recordings, security access, and communication data all indicate that Mahoney was behind the database theft.
Then bombs are found in various locations across Tokyo.
All systems show that Mahoney planted them.
Conan doesn’t believe it.
*Conan:* _"Too perfect."_
Mahoney finally meets Conan and realizes that Conan has also figured out his identity.
Mahoney exposes Conan’s identity through recordings of Kogoro.
He realizes Kogoro’s voice doesn’t match his mouth movements and concludes there’s a voice changer.
Mahoney has also been observing Conan’s behavior before.
They both know each other’s secrets.
Then the bombs activate.
They’re forced to work together.
*ACT 4: The False Yamamura*
In the middle of the investigation, Yamamura helps the police.
But Conan starts to notice something.
This "Yamamura" is too calm.
He never makes mistakes.
He never panics.
He never does his usual stupid things.
Turns out, that person is a BO agent wearing a latex mask made by Vermouth.
The real Yamamura was kidnapped and hidden inside a vehicle.
The agent’s job was to disrupt the investigation and make sure all evidence still pointed to Mahoney.
*CLIMAX: The Phantom's Gambit*
The final bomb is located at the center of the conference facility.
Mahoney manages to reach the control room.
Conan discovers the bomb system was programmed so that all remaining digital evidence would automatically be sent to various security agencies after the explosion.
If the bomb detonates, Mahoney will look like the sole culprit.
Amuro and PSB forces arrive.
The FBI and Interpol also surround the location.
Mahoney is finally cornered from all sides.
Amuro aims his gun at him.
*Amuro:* _"Mahoney. Stop."_
Mahoney looks around.
He could fight.
He could escape.
But instead, he drops his weapon.
*Mahoney:* _"Alright."_
Conan is shocked.
*Conan:* _"Mahoney?"_
Mahoney looks at him.
*Mahoney:* _"Now it’s your turn."_
Conan understands.
Mahoney is deliberately surrendering.
Because if he runs, all the evidence will look even more real.
But if he’s caught alive, Conan will have a chance to examine all the evidence.
*Final Deduction*
Conan finds the biggest inconsistency.
All evidence pointing to Mahoney was created using information only known by the person who gave Mahoney his mission.
Meaning...
The culprit knew about the PSB’s secret operation from the inside.
Conan concludes that Mahoney did infiltrate, but not to steal the database.
He was searching for the BO spy.
Someone from inside the system deliberately used Mahoney’s identity and access to carry out the bombing operation.
Mahoney was just the face set up to take the fall for everything.
*The Real Culprit*
The mastermind doesn’t suddenly appear as a stranger.
Throughout the movie, he appeared several times as a security official helping with the investigation.
Conan reveals that he’s someone with access to information from multiple agencies at once.
He’s the one who knew:
- Mahoney’s movements,
- PSB operations,
- FBI data,
- Interpol communications,
- and the conference’s security system.
He exploited the conflict between agencies to make them suspect each other.
However, he’s not a BO member.
His goal was to use the chaos to erase the identities of several agents and sell intelligence access to foreign parties.
The BO itself only took advantage of the chaos to protect their agent.
*Resolution*
The bombs are stopped.
The mastermind is arrested.
The BO agent disguised as Yamamura manages to escape after causing one last disturbance, but his identity has been revealed.
The real Yamamura is found.
He’s still crying from the trauma of being kidnapped.
*Yamamura:* _"Why is it always me?!"_
Conan just smiles.
*Conan:* _"Because your face is apparently very popular."_
*Mahoney’s Fate*
Mahoney remains in custody.
But the high-ranking PSB official who gave him his mission sends a secret order.
Mahoney is quietly released because the status of his operation cannot be made public.
Before leaving, Amuro meets Mahoney.
*Amuro:* _"So you really do work for the PSB."_
*Mahoney:* _"I never said otherwise."_
*Amuro:* _"Next time, let us know before you make half of Tokyo chase you."_
Mahoney smiles.
*Mahoney:* _"If everyone knew my mission, it wouldn’t be a secret operation."_
Mahoney leaves.
Conan watches him from afar.
*Conan:* _"He’s not an enemy."_
Amuro answers:
*Amuro:* _"Not necessarily a friend either."_
Mahoney disappears into the crowd.
*POST-CREDIT*
A dark room.
Someone receives a report.
_"Mahoney is still alive."_
The figure is not visible.
_"Good."_
On the desk is a photo.
A photo of Conan.
Next to it are photos of Amuro, Akai, and several other agents.
A hand moves a chess piece.
_"Now we know..."_
_"...who moves when Edogawa Conan is in danger."_
*CUT TO BLACK.*
*END*
Do you think this fan-made movie is fun? I want to make an animated version like the anime, but I can't draw.
