The police inspector from the Kaitou Kid task force Ginzo Nakamori prepares his team of police officers for Kid's arrival. There are eight helicopters flying around and over two hundred officers guarding from the tower. Furthermore, there are laser sensors in the basement. It is now airing on television. Everyone is watching including Aoko and Keiko. Back at the museum, when Nakamori wants to reset his watch, Saguru Hakuba, who has high attention to detail, interrupts him. Nakamori recognizes him from the news but when is provoked by his arrogance, he dismisses him as an amateur until Superintendent General Hakuba, the head of the Tokyo police force and Saguru's father, persuades Nakamori to show to his son the ropes of real police work. Convinced to work with Saguru Hakuba, Nakamori offers to answer any question only to be interrogated about details regarding Kid that no one has answers to. However, Saguru has no interest of catching Kaitou Kid.
Before 20 minutes to become 8:00 o'clock, Saguru finds a yellow thread near the bronze statue which proves Spider's presence in the place. That clears the detective's goal: Capturing Spider.
Meanwhile, Kid comes out of the vent in the basement and uses the goggles to see the laser security grid. He then uses a suction cup gun to shoot at the ceiling and climbs up carefully so he can evade touching the laser, until sudden, the great detective Saguru Hakuba appears. He releases the anesthetic gas and is about to put the gas mask on, but Kid prevents him from doing so by shooting with the Card Gun on the mask. Kid tries to get it but Hakuba is struggling him while the time is counting down for Kid's appearance.
Inside the museum where Nakamori is located, a smoke comes from the floor and Hakuba appears wearing the gas mask. He declares that Kid has been caught by him leaving everyone shocked including the viewers. Hakuba then tells Nakamori that Kid is sleeping in the basement so that the inspector orders his officers to go there and arrest him. The news reporter asks Hakuba about the way he feels when he captured Kid. After Hakuba answers that it was easy, the balloon appears on his back. At this moment, the police report to Nakamori that the real Hakuba is found unconscious in the basement. The fake Hakuba now reveals himself as Kid. He goes on top of the statue, holds it with his legs, and tries to get away with the balloon. Unfortunately, the statue is linked with the chain to the floor. However, Kid now has a chance to check for the purple gem whether it's Pandora or not before the moonlight. After making sure it wasn't, Kid declares he will be returning the gem back. Thus, he lets the statue go, shoots at the vault, and flies away with the balloon.
The police on the top tower open the door to go back inside, but are knocked out with anesthetic gas by Kid. Suddenly, Spider, the suspicious three red-eyed character with the strange illusion powers of his, appears. He uses his illusion generating machinery to create a nightmarish realm in which Kaitou Kid cannot escape from. Meanwhile, Akako uses her magic to know what is happening with Kid. Afterwards, Hakuba comes and manages to snap Kid out of Spider's trance before he could finish him off. Spider then turns his attention to Hakuba, makes him float, and attempts to murder him by throwing a needle. However, Kid deflects it with his card gun expressing his gratitude to Hakuba. The distraction gives Kid the chance to destroy Spider's illusion generating machinery. Seeing this, Akako admires Kid's heroic deed. The latter asks Spider who he is and why he is after him. Hakuba answers the question saying he is an assassin. When the police finally figure out where Kid is, Spider promises he will meet Kid again and vanishes immediately before Nakamori and his assistants come. After Kid flees, Hakuba decides to stay in Japan.
