  II. PHOENIX WRIGHT OVERVIEW                                        [0201]

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a point and click text adventure for Nintendo
DS. The game depicts about the legal system in a fictional world where the
golden rule of their criminal code is: "Guilty until proven innocent" (instead
of innocent until proven guilty). The burden of proof lies in the defense's
shoulder (instead of the prosecutor) to prove that his client is innocent.

In this game, we are playing as a young man by the name of Phoenix Wright, a
defense attorney who seems to always get involve in interesting cases
throughout his career. His confidence bluffing during the trial has helped him
a lot in prolonging the trial, preventing the judge from declaring his client
to be GUILTY, so he can have more time to find more evidence to help his
client. He also carries out investigation in the crime scene and its
surrounding by himself (and his ONE assistant!) in order to build a strong case
for his client.

Most of the prosecutors Phoenix faced in the game are obsessed with a
"perfect" record, i.e. they have a 100% record that the defendant would always
get a GUILTY verdict in their case (they even forge the evidence in order to
accomplish this!). Well, that's before they have to deal with Phoenix Wright.
Somehow, Phoenix managed to win his case in almost every trial, even
though the situation in the first hearing looks almost impossible to turn
around. That's why all the episodes have the word "Turnabout" in their titles
and Phoenix Wright is called an ACE ATTORNEY!! (and we have a game to play...)

The episodes and scripts in Phoenix Wright games are nothing short of wonderful
and entertaining! They were really well-done and easy to understand. Even the
localisation and the translation of the scripts (which are originally Japanese)
are excellent. Although there are multitude of spelling mistakes and grammar
errors in this third game, most of the humour and the meaning of the texts are
not lost and can be easily understood by the Western society.

One might say this game is like a live interactive crime-fiction book with
beautiful graphics. And that's true! If you enjoy thinking logically and
reading mystery or crime-fiction/detective book, this game is for you. I
guarantee you will love it!

Ever wonder what you will get if you chose that other choices? Oh, you forgot
to save and you didn't have enough life bar; also you were too thrilled to stop
and try the other option because you wanted to finish the case asap!

Or do you ever wonder what all those fast texts are actually saying? Like when
your conservation was cut, there was fast action, etc

Or see what funny things will ensue when you present some random stuff to
various people during investigation...

Or you want to reference and find the exact quote of some memorable or silly
stuff that being said throughout the game...

Or you just want to read the case again like a book!

Whatever your need is, this game script should be able to help you, because as
has been said above, Phoenix Wright game is a text adventure game, which means
the text IS the game! It is just like an interactive book (with beautiful
graphics of course!), so if you have played the game and want to have some more
nostalgia with it, this script is for you!

                               | Formatting |                           [0321]
                               o------------o

Game script can look a bit like a text dump, aka wall of (meaningless) text in
random order. Therefore, some formatting needs to be done in order for these
texts to appear in a meaningful sequence and easily searchable.

There are two distinct parts in this game, the investigation part and the
trial. The formatting for each part is quite different, but there are a few
things that remain the same for both parts:

1. Basic formatting
<Name tag>:
 Line 1
 Line 2
 Line 3

--> The lines were cut off as they were in the game, for authenticity.
--> If there isn't any <Name tag>, it means the game also did not have it.

2. A full ---- line
--> Indicates a change of scene.

3. A halfway ---- line
--> Indicates a minor change of situation, usually a flashback or a black
    screen (when thinking) or a person going out.

4. xxx three-sided box
--> You will lose some of your life bar if you choose to do this.

5. *** three-sided box
--> Choice. At the end of this box, there is usually an indication for you to
    CONTINUE or RETURN TO QUESTION.

6. RETURN TO THE QUESTION BEFORE IT
--> Going back up to the original question (to prevent dead-end loop).

7. All misspells and grammar mistakes from the game were put in here as is.


The following sections will specify the formatting of this document in greater
details for investigation part and trial part:


-------------
Investigation                                                            [0322]
-------------

1. A full ---- line
--> Moving from one place to another.
--> Using Maya's Magatama to unlock Psyche-Locks.

2. A halfway ---- line
--> When you can start examine the background and talk to the person.
--> After talking to the person, if there is something else happening.

3. +++ three-sided box
--> Examine (labelled). Note: The labelled names may not be official.

4. >>> three-sided box
--> Talk (labelled).

5. *** three-sided box
--> Present (labelled). Evidence first, then profile, then anything else.

6. MOVE TO: "<name of place>"
--> This shows where you need to go next. This excludes any middle room.

7. In any episode, when you examine the same stuff or present the same thing to
the same person, and the text appears to be the same, I will only write it at
the place where the text showed up for the first time. Therefore, if there is
something missing in the second part of the investigation, it probably has been
done in the first investigation part.


-----
Trial                                                                    [0323]
-----

1. A full ---- line
--> Start and end of cross-examination.

2. A halfway ---- line
--> The additional comment after Witness Testimony.
--> The additional comment after cycling through all Witness statement during
    the Cross Examination.

3. Each statement of Witness Testimony will be labelled (1), (2), etc.

4. Indentation during Cross Examination.
--> What you get if you PRESS in that statement.

 I'm telling you for your sake.
 If you continue to see her,

 Y-You're lying!

 Just listen to me.

-- 5 Years Earlier --
      Mia Fey
     2nd Trial

April 11, 9:40 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3

Mia:
 (Whew, it's finally time...
 I'm kind of nervous...)

? ? ?:
 *Ah-HHHHEM!*

Mia:
 Oh! Mr. Grossberg!
 Good morning!

Grossberg:
 Ah, Mia.
 Please calm yourself down!

Grossberg:
 You're going to get yourself
 arrested for suspicious
 behavior, you know.

Mia:
 What are you talking about!!
 I am relaxed, Mr. Grossberg!!
 Look at me, I'm relaxed!!

Grossberg:
 *Grrrmmphh*
 L-Let go of my lapels!

Grossberg:
 Hmph... You obviously
 haven't got the temperament
 to be a lawyer.

Mia:
 I, err... I'm so sorry!
 It's just that I'm so
 nervous today...

Grossberg:
 Oh, that's right.
 This is your first time in the
 big leagues, isn't it?

Grossberg:
 Well, never you fear my dear.
 I, Marvin Grossberg, am
 at your service!

Mia:
 Umm, actually this is my
 second time in court...

Grossberg:
 Still, you surprised me...
 What, with your earnest
 request last night...

Grossberg:
 "Let me handle this case!"
 you suddenly said. And quite
 forcefully, too!

Mia:
 I just found out yesterday.
 About the case, I mean.

Grossberg:
 What?
 And you've already learned all
 the relevant facts?

Mia:
 Well about that... You see...
 I mean, of course I have!
 I think.

Grossberg:
 Oh dear...

Grossberg:
 In any case, don't let our
 client see you're so nervous.

Grossberg:
 You see the poor young man in
 the pink sweater over there?
 That's our client.

Phoenix:
 *cough* *sniffle*
 Good morning there everybody!

Mia:
 Good morning...
 (Try to keep smiling, Mia!)

Phoenix:
 I, err, I just want to say...
 I'll give it all I've got!

Phoenix:
 Yup, it'll be fine!
 No prob!
 *cough* *achoo* *achoo*

Mia:
 Oh, what's wrong?
 Do you have a cold or
 something... Mr. Wry?

Phoenix:
 Actually, it's Wright... Like
 the flying brothers... People
 screw it up all the time.

Phoenix:
 And yes I have a cold.
 That's what this mask is for.

Phoenix:
 My doc says this way, I won't
 give it to anyone else...
 Be kind to others, he says...

Mia:
 Right, Mr. Wright!
 You have nothing to fear
 in court today!

Mia:
 If you are truly innocent...
 I promise I will save you!

Phoenix:
 Nnnnggghh... P-Please
 l-let go of my shirt...
 *cough*

Mia:
 (That's right, he's the one
 on trial, not you! He's the
 one who should be nervous!)

Mia:
 (You need to stay strong for
 your client, Mia!)

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 My name is Mia Fey.
 I'm still pretty new at this
 lawyer thing...

Mia:
 The first time I appeared in
 court was a year ago.

Mia:
 But that trial traumatized me
 so badly, I thought I'd never
 set foot in another courtroom.

Mia:
 It's been one year since then,
 and well, here I am again.

Mia:
 But this time...
 This time I'll win.

Mia:
 For my client...
 And for myself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 11, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2

Judge:
 Court is now in session for
 the trial of Phoenix Wright.

Mia:
 The defense is
 ready, Your Honor!

Payne:
 The prosecution is
 ready, Your Honor.

Judge:
 The defense today is...
 Ms... Ms... Mia Fey, was it?

Mia:
 Y-Yes, Your Honor.
 Is there a problem?

Judge:
 I was under the impression
 that Marvin Grossberg was
 to be leading the defense.

Mia:
 Yes! Well, you see...

Mia:
 Mr. Grossberg had...
 A-A bit of an emergency...

Judge:
 Emergency?
 But isn't that him standing
 there right next to you?

Mia:
 Yes, well...

Judge:
 You... You're just a rookie.
 Are you sure you can really
 handle this?

Mia:
 (Don't let him scare you, Mia!
 Give him your toughest look!)

Mia:
 Of course, Your Honor!
 ...
 I think.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Payne.
 Your opening statement,
 please.

Payne:
 Well, well, well...

Payne:
 I can't believe a veteran like
 me has to spend his time baby-
 sitting a new defense lawyer.

Mia:
 ...!

Payne:
 Don't worry little girl.
 It will all be over soon.

Mia:
 (What was that all about?
 Was he trying to trash-talk
 me?)

Payne:
 Now then, I'd like to proceed
 with a summary of events
 on the day in question.

Payne:
 The incident occurred on
 the campus of Ivy University.

Payne:
 The murder victim was a
 student named Doug Swallow.

Payne:
 He was a fourth year student
 studying Pharmacology.

Judge:
 Hmm... It sounds like he was
 a very bright young man.

Payne:
 Yes, well, next we have a
 photo taken at the scene of
 the crime.

Payne:
 Students discovered the scene
 shortly after the murder. They
 found the victim's body...

Payne:
 ...and the defendant, who had
 obviously bungled his getaway.
 They then called the police.

Judge:
 Hmm... That certainly makes
 the defendant look very
 suspicious indeed.

Judge:
 Very well.
 The court accepts this photo
 into the record as evidence.

*Crime Photo 1 added to
the Court Record.*

Judge:
 By the way...

Judge:
 I can't quite tell the cause
 of death from this photo.

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee...

Payne:
 Your reputation for sagacity
 is well-earned, Your Honor.

Payne:
 The truth is that this victim
 died a rather unusual death.

Mia:
 An unusual death...!?

Judge:
 What do you mean, Mr. Payne!?

Payne:
 Well...
 Perhaps the defense would
 like to take this question.

Mia:
 Huh...!?

Payne:
 A simple question. I thought
 I might loosen you up a bit.

Payne:
 I am a genteel-man, if you
 will.

Mia:
 Um, a what?

Mia:
 (Stand up to him, Mia!
 Show him what you're made of!)

Grossberg:
 Ah, a perfect opportunity!
 Well, what was it? The cause!
 Go on!

Grossberg:
 ...

Grossberg:
 ...Please say you know at
 least this much.

Mia:
 I-I'm so sorry...
 I-I didn't get a chance to
 read through the whole file.

Grossberg:
 *groan*
 My hemorrhoids are beginning
 to act up...

Grossberg:
 Now see here!

Grossberg:
 The details of the case are
 filed under the Court Record.

Grossberg:
 But you knew that already,
 didn't you?

Mia:
 (Ah! The Court Record! I think
 I can see that by touching the
 Court Record Button...)

Grossberg:
 All of the weapons we need can
 be found in the Court Record.

Grossberg:
 Take a good, hard look at the
 data there and think carefully
 before you answer, m'dear!

Mia:
 Y-Yes, sir!
 I'll do just that!

Mia:
 (I've got to stay calm!
 I can't let that prosecutor
 get the better of me!)

Mia:
 (The Court Record... OK, let's
 take a look! I just touch the
 Court Record Button here...)

Judge:
 Now then, would the attorney
 for the defense please answer
 the question?

Judge:
 What was the cause of death?

*** Asphyxiation ***************************
*
* Mia:
*   Well... I think you'll find
*   it was a case of asphyxiation.
*
* Judge:
*   Hmm...
*   Asphyxiation, huh?
*
* Grossberg:
*   M-Mia!
*   What are you saying!?
*
* Mia:
*   Well it's stuffy in here!
*   I can hardly breathe.
*
* Grossberg:
*   No one's asking how you feel!
*   Please, make sure to properly
*   read the Court Record!
*
* Mia:
*   I-I'm so sorry!
*   I'll take a better look!
*
* Mia:
*   (Hang in there, Mia! Open
*   the Court Record with the
*   Court Record Button...)
*
* Judge:
*   Hmm...
*   I'll ask you once again.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION

*** Electrocution **************************

********************************************

*** Hypothermia ****************************
*
* Mia:
*   Err... Hypothermia, I believe.
*
*   ...
*   ...
*   ......
*
* Mia:
*   Umm, Mr. Grossberg?
*
* Mia:
*   Does it suddenly feel very
*   cold in here to you?
*
* Grossberg:
*   That's because your absurd
*   reply has brought a chill
*   to the courtroom!
*
* Mia:
*   I-I'm so sorry...
*
* Grossberg:
*   Look at the Court Record more
*   carefully, would you!
*
* Grossberg:
*   How can you expect to win
*   a case this way!?
*
* Mia:
*   (Hang in there, Mia! Open
*   the Court Record with the
*   Court Record Button...)
*
* Judge:
*   Hmm...
*   I'll ask you once again.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

Mia:
 According to the Court Record,
 it was a fatal electric shock.
 In other words, electrocution.

Judge:
 Electrocution? Hmm...
 But how could such a thing
 happen?

Judge:
 Did the murderer use some
 type of new, super-powerful
 stun-gun, perhaps?

Payne:
 The answer to that will become
 crystal clear as this trial
 proceeds, Your Honor.

Payne:
 But before that, there is one
 more vital issue.

Mia:
 Wh-What's that?

Payne:
 Why, motive of course.

Payne:
 Apparently there was some
 bad blood between the victim
 and the defendant.

Judge:
 Bad blood...?

Mia:
 Wh-What do you mean...?

Payne:
 Oopsie! I'm terribly sorry.

Payne:
 You're the defense attorney,
 so you must know all about it.

Payne:
 I shouldn't be stealing your
 spotlight like this.

Mia:
 (I really don't like this
 guy's smug attitude...)

Grossberg:
 That's Winston Payne for you.
 He is one smooth operator,
 if you catch my drift.

Grossberg:
 They don't call him the
 "Rookie Killer" for nothing,
 you know.

Judge:
 Now then, let's hear from
 the defense.

Judge:
 What was the source of the
 bad blood between the victim
 and the defendant?

Judge:
 And this time, I would like to
 see some supporting evidence!

Mia:
 Ev-Evidence...?

Grossberg:
 Ah, no need to get all worked
 up over this.

Grossberg:
 As I said, all our weapons can
 be found in the Court Record.

Grossberg:
 Find the evidence you need
 and then shove it into Ol'
 Graybeard's face!

Mia:
 Y-Yes, sir!
 Into Ol' Graybeard's face!

Judge:
 Err, Mr. Grossberg.

Judge:
 Try to set a better example
 for the young lady!

Grossberg:
 Mia, evidence isn't the only
 thing in the Court Record.
 People's profiles are as well.

Grossberg:
 You can toggle between
 Profiles and Evidence, so be
 sure to go over it all!

Judge:
 Now then, let's see what
 you've got.

Judge:
 What was the cause of the
 bad blood between Phoenix
 Wright and the victim?

*** Present something wrong ****************
*
* Mia:
*   *TAKE THAT!*
*
* Judge:
*   Mr. Grossberg...
*
* Judge:
*   I honestly think it would be
*   best for the defense if you
*   were in charge.
*
* Judge:
*   I'm afraid Ms. Fey might stir
*   up some bad blood with this
*   court if she were to continue.
*
* Grossberg:
*   Or simply put, you are quite
*   mistaken, m'dear.
*
* Mia:
*   Oh no...
*   I'm so sorry...
*
* Judge:
*   Even if you are new, your
*   lack of preparation is
*   inexcusable.
*
* Judge:
*   Now take a moment and think it
*   over again.
*
* Mia:
*   Y-Yes, Your Honor!
*   (It's OK! You've got another
*   chance, Mia!)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

*Present Dahlia Hawthorne profile*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 The reason for the bad blood
 between the two of them was...
 this woman here.

Judge:
 Dahlia Hawthorne, is it?

Payne:
 Very good, Ms. Fey.
 You seem to have picked up
 on at least this much.

Payne:
 This woman is the girlfriend
 of the defendant, Phoenix
 Wright.

Payne:
 But up until about eight
 months ago, she was with
 the victim, Mr. Swallow.

Payne:
 Clearly she has some part
 to play in this story.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Grossberg:
 Ah, he's done it again.

Grossberg:
 Before the cross-examination
 starts, he's already got the
 judge thinking like he wants.

Judge:
 Very well, Mr. Payne.
 Please call your first
 witness!

Payne:
 If it pleases the court, the
 prosecution would like to
 call Mr. Phoenix Wright.

Judge:
 What? The defendant himself?
 Well, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 (It's fine! After all,
 Mr. Wright is innocent, right?)

Mia:
 The defense has no objection.

Judge:
 Very well.

Judge:
 The court calls Mr. Phoenix
 Wright to the witness stand!

--------------------------------------------

Payne:
 Witness, please state your
 name and occupation.

Phoenix:
 Oh, ah, yes...
 My name is Phoenix Wright.

Phoenix:
 My job is, um... Well, right
 now, I guess I'm a suspect.

Judge:
 No, no. He means what did
 you do before you were
 arrested?

Phoenix:
 Oh...
 *achoo* *achoo* *achoo*
 I was a university student.

Payne:
 Mr. Wright.

Payne:
 You understand that you are
 suspected in the death of your
 fellow student, Doug Swa--

Phoenix:
 But! But I didn't do it!
 I'm innocent I tell you!

Phoenix:
 I'm telling you I was...
 *achoo* *achoo* *cough*
 *cough* *achoo* *cough*

Judge:
 Would the defendant please
 refrain from passing on his
 cold to the rest of us!

Payne:
 It seems the witness has
 something he wants to say.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Well then, Mr. Wright.

Judge:
 Please tell us about your
 relation to the victim.

Phoenix:
 Right away, Your Honor!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Victim and I --

(1)
Phoenix:
 Um, I...
 I admit I was there...

(2)
Phoenix:
 But I'm not a killer!
 All I did was find his body!

(3)
Phoenix:
 I hardly knew the guy to begin
 with...

(4)
Phoenix:
 I never even talked to that
 stuck-up British wannabe!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm... I see.
 So you hardly knew the victim?

Phoenix:
 Right!
 Like I said, I'm not a killer!

Mia:
 Whew... It looks like the
 judge understands.

Grossberg:
 Mmfph...
 You're being naïve, you know.
 Too naïve.

Mia:
 Huh...?

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee.

Payne:
 It seems that you've forgotten
 one small thing, young lady.

Mia:
 And that would be...?

Payne:
 This witness still has to
 undergo something called
 cross-examination.

Mia:
 Cross-examination...?

Grossberg:
 He's right. And it's the
 defense's duty to carry out
 the cross-examination.

Grossberg:
 The purpose is to determine if
 a witness's testimony contains
 any contradictions.

Mia:
 Contradictions...?

Grossberg:
 If a witness is lying, their
 statements will conflict with
 the Court Record.

Mia:
 But... Mr. Wright is my
 client!

Grossberg:
 Even if he is your client, in
 court, all lies must be struck
 down.

Grossberg:
 As a lawyer, that is
 your duty, you see.

Mia:
 (What does he mean by that?
 Is he saying that testimony
 just now...)

Mia:
 (That there was a lie --
 a contradiction?)

Judge:
 Now then, your cross-
 examination, if you please,
 Ms. Fey.

Mia:
 (Please, Mr. Wright... Tell me
 you haven't been lying!)

Mia:
 (You wouldn't do that to me...
 would you...?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Victim and I --

(1)
Phoenix:
 Um, I...
 I admit I was there...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      When you say "there", you
      mean the place where the
      victim was murdered?

    Phoenix:
      Y-Yeah, sort of.
      The place where SOMETHING
      happened anyway.

    Payne:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Payne:
      "Something"? You can't hide
      what happened. We have
      photographic evidence.

    Phoenix:
      *achoo*
      *achoo* *achoo* *achoo*

    Mia:
      A-Anyway, Mr. Wright...

    Mia:
      What were you doing at the
      scene of the crime?

    Mia:
      I thought you said you didn't
      know the victim, Mr. Swallow.

    Phoenix:
      It was just a coincidence!
      We bumped into each other
      by accident.

    Judge:
      A coincidence, huh...?

(2)
Phoenix:
 But I'm not a killer!
 All I did was find his body!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You say you found the body?
      So who called the police?

    Phoenix:
      Huh!? Um...
      *achoo* *cough* *achoo*
      *cough* *achoo* *cough*

    Payne:
      Unfortunately it was some
      other students that notified
      the police.

    Judge:
      "Other students"...?

    Payne:
      That's correct.
      They were witnesses.

    Payne:
      Witnesses who saw the
      defendant standing there,
      next to the body, in shock!

    Judge:
      W-What!
      Is this true, Mr. Wright!?

    Phoenix:
      *achoo*
      *achoo* *achoo*
      *achoo* *achoo* *achoo*

    Mia:
      (Could you stop sneezing every
      time you're in a bind...?)

    Phoenix:
      W-Well, it's true that I was
      pretty shocked when I found
      the body.

    Phoenix:
      But, but I...

(3)
Phoenix:
 I hardly knew the guy to begin
 with...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So, you didn't know his face,
      or even his name, right?

    Phoenix:
      Right!
      Um, well, no...
      That is... I mean...

    Mia:
      So... Which is it?
      Did you know him or not?

    Phoenix:
      *achoo*
      *achoo* *achoo*

    Judge:
      Now, see here! You can't avoid
      answering the question by
      sneezing all day!

    Phoenix:
      Err... Umm, well...
      I guess I did know his name.

    Mia:
      (N-News to me! Why didn't he
      tell me that before...?)

    Phoenix:
      Um... I heard he used to
      date Dollie.

    Judge:
      Who is this "Dollie" person?

    Payne:
      Ah yes, that would be the
      defendant's lover, Ms. Dahlia
      Hawthorne.

    Judge:
      Oh, I see.
      Ah, young love...
      So bittersweet...

    Phoenix:
      But that's all I knew
      about him!

(4)
Phoenix:
 I never even talked to that
 stuck-up British wannabe!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Mr. Wright, you stated the
      following in your testimony:

    Mia:
      "I hardly knew the guy to
      begin with..."

    Phoenix:
      Th-That's right! I mean why
      would I even--

    Mia:
      But that doesn't sound right.

    Mia:
      If you hardly knew him...

    Mia:
      ...then why would you say that
      the victim was a "stuck-up
      British wannabe"!?

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Mia:
      ...

    Phoenix:
      ...
      *achoo*

    Mia:
      Well, Mr. Wright!?

    Phoenix:
      Ah! No! It wasn't me!
      I'm not a killer, I swear!

    Judge:
      Mr. Wright. I will give you an
      opportunity to revise your
      testimony.

    Judge:
      How is it that you knew the
      victim was, as you put it,
      a "British wannabe"...?

    Phoenix:
      Y-Yes, well...

    ADD STATEMENT (4b)

(4b)
Phoenix:
 He was always walking around
 with a huge Union Jack on the
 back of his shirt.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Did you see it at the
      crime scene?
      The Union Jack, I mean.

    Phoenix:
      Y-Yes, that's right!
      I saw it at the crime scene!

    Phoenix:
      That's why... That's why I
      figured he must love British
      stuff, see?

    Phoenix:
      It's true! Cross my heart!
      I swear I didn't do it...

    Mia:
      (He's acting fishier than the
      salmon I ate last night...)

    Judge:
      May I ask you something,
      Ms. Fey?

    Mia:
      Y-Yes, Your Honor.
      (What is it now?)

    Judge:
      Who is this person anyway?
      This "Union Jack" fellow...

    Mia:
      ...

    Payne:
      The Union Jack is the name
      of the flag of England.

    Judge:
      Oh, I see...
      So you mean like the
      "Stars and Stripes", right?

    Payne:
      As usual, Your Honor, your
      insight astounds me.

    Mia:
      (Hey, something just
      occurred to me...)

    Mia:
      (Isn't there something
      strange about this bit
      just now?)

    Grossberg:
      Mia...
      There is a contradiction here!

    Mia:
      M-Mr. Grossberg!

    Grossberg:
      Quickly now! Show that
      boy you mean business!
      With evidence, I mean!

    Mia:
      (OK, Mia, check the
      Court Record carefully!)

--------------------------------------------

Grossberg:
 Well m'dear, do you think you
 can manage on your own from
 this point?

*** I can handle it myself. ****************

*
* Mia:
*   I-I'll be fine!

* Grossberg:
*   Remember, you can always press

*   when you do.
*
* Grossberg:
*   Alright, listen carefully. By
*   comparing the testimony
*   to the Court Record...
*
* Grossberg:
*   ...you should be able to

*
* Grossberg:
*   And when you've found one...
*
* Mia:
*   I present the piece of

*
* Grossberg:
*   Yes. That's the ticket!
*
* Mia:
*   But still... I don't see any

*
* Grossberg:
*   Hmm... Maybe you don't have

*
* Mia:
*   Information...?
*
* Grossberg:
*   You can press for more

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Crime Photo 1* at (4b)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Are you certain you saw the
 "Union Jack"?

Phoenix:
 Y-Yeah, I'm sure. It was
 right there on his back.

Judge:
 Ms. Fey, is there some point
 to this line of questioning?

Mia:
 Your Honor, please take
 another look at the crime
 scene photo.

Mia:
 As you can see, there's
 absolutely nothing written on
 the victim's back.

Phoenix:
 Hey! Wait a minute!
 He's wearing a leather jacket!

Phoenix:
 The Union Jack was on the
 back of the t-shirt he
 was wearing...

Mia:
 I was under the impression
 that you accidentally came
 across the body.

Mia:
 But, if that was really
 the case, then you wouldn't
 know that, would you?

Mia:
 You'd have no idea at all
 what he was wearing
 underneath that jacket!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright...
 You've been lying to me!

Phoenix:
 ...
 P-P-P-Please forgive me!
 Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Grossberg:
 Mia!
 You've made our client cry!

Mia:
 Let him! That "P" on his
 chest doesn't stand for
 Phoenix anyways!

Mia:
 I can't believe I trusted him!
 Mr. Wright was all wrong!

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee.
 That was an impressive bit
 of cross-examination.

Mia:
 ...!

Payne:
 Thank you for uncovering
 the defendant's lies for me.

Payne:
 It's quite clear that this man
 did not simply "stumble upon"
 the scene of the crime!

Phoenix:
 Uggghhh...

Mia:
 (Uh oh...
 Did I go too far?)

Payne:
 By the way, Mr. Wright.

Payne:
 You seem to have a rather bad
 cold. Have you taken any
 medicine for it?

Phoenix:
 I, err, umm...
 Yeah, I took some but...

Payne:
 Was the medicine that you
 took an over-the-counter brand
 called "Coldkiller X"?

Phoenix:
 Yeah, that's right!
 It kills colds good!

Phoenix:
 Hey, wait a second...

Phoenix:
 How did you know I'm a big
 fan of Coldkiller X...?

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee...
 Would you happen to have that
 medicine with you right now?

Phoenix:
 Well...
 Actually, I seem to have
 lost it somewhere...

Mia:
 (He lost it?
 Does this even have anything
 to do with the case...?)

Payne:
 Mr. Wright...

Payne:
 Shall I tell you where your
 cold medicine is right now?

Phoenix:
 Huh...?

Payne:
 Your Honor! I'd like you to
 take a look at another photo
 from the crime scene!

Judge:
 Wh-What's this!
 In the victim's hand, it's...

Judge:
 It's Coldkiller X...!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Y-Yes, but even I've got a
 bottle of Coldkiller X in my
 apartment!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that
 argument won't work.

Payne:
 There's no doubt as to who
 this bottle of Coldkiller X
 belonged to.

Payne:
 Especially since Mr. Wright's
 fingerprints were all over it!

Mia:
 Wh-What!?

Payne:
 Sensing his murderous intent,
 Mr. Swallow must have picked
 up the bottle of medicine...

Payne:
 ...dropped by Mr. Wright and
 hid it in his hand.

Payne:
 His purpose in doing so can
 only have been to identify his
 killer as Phoenix Wright!

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!

Payne:
 Your Honor!
 I'd like to present this photo
 and bottle as evidence!

Judge:
 Very well.
 The court will accept them
 into the record.

*Crime Photo 2 added to
the Court Record.*

*Coldkiller X added to
the Court Record.*

Payne:
 Also, the victim's
 wristwatch was broken.

Judge:
 Broken...?

Payne:
 Yes, it ceased functioning
 when a large wave of
 electricity passed through it.

Payne:
 Well, Mr. Wright!
 Do you have some kind of
 explanation for all of this!?

Phoenix:
 Uggghhh...

Mia:
 (This is really bad...)

Grossberg:
 Oh, my buttocks...
 My poor, poor hemorrhoids...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What Really Happened --

(1)
Phoenix:
 The truth is...
 I went because he called me.

(2)
Phoenix:
 He was in the Pharmacology
 Dept., so we agreed to meet at
 2:45 behind that building...

(3)
Phoenix:
 We talked for a bit, and then
 at around 3:00, we split up.

(4)
Phoenix:
 Then later when I went back,
 I found him lying there.

(5)
Phoenix:
 I'd been taking Coldkiller X for
 the last 2 or 3 days...

(6)
Phoenix:
 But I lost my bottle of it
 around lunchtime on the day
 of the accident.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Mr. Wright! That's completely
 different than the testimony
 you gave previously!

Phoenix:
 *achoo* *achoo* *achoo*

Phoenix:
 I-I'm sorry, Your Honor!
 I was afraid you wouldn't
 believe the truth!

Payne:
 You'll forgive me if I say
 I hardly find your current
 testimony any more credible.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Ms. Fey, please begin your
 cross-examination.

Mia:
 (Oh please, Mr. Wright...
 Don't tell any more lies.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What Really Happened --

(1)
Phoenix:
 The truth is...
 I went because he called me.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Had you ever met the victim
      before then?

    Phoenix:
      No! Never!
      ...
      But...

    Phoenix:
      That day, he called me up and
      told me he wanted to talk
      about Dollie.

    Judge:
      And this "Dollie" person
      is...?

    Phoenix:
      My um...
      It's kind of embarrassing.</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
      She's my, umm, sweetheart...

    Grossberg:
      Oomph...!
      Wh-What...
      What was that for, Mia!?

    Mia:
      Oh! I'm so sorry! I just felt
      like slapping something all
      of a sudden!

    Payne:
      Dahlia Hawthorne was also
      the lover of the murder
      victim, Doug Swallow.

    Payne:
      ...Before she met
      Mr. Wright, that is.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      So it was one of those nasty
      love triangles, I see...

(2)
Phoenix:
 He was in the Pharmacology
 Dept., so we agreed to meet at
 2:45 behind that building...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Was it Mr. Swallow who
      indicated you should meet at
      2:45?

    Phoenix:
      Yeah. And we were both there
      right on time.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      You said the victim was in the
      Pharmacology Dept., correct?

    Phoenix:
      Yeah, he was studying how to
      manufacture and improve
      pharmaceuticals.

    Phoenix:
      Everyone called him the
      "Alchemist of Ivy U".

    Judge:
      An "alchemist"... I see...

    Phoenix:
      I gotta admit it was a little
      suspicious. He had a whole
      laboratory and everything!

    Phoenix:
      It was filled with chemicals
      and strange machines that run
      on high-voltage electricity.

    Judge:
      Ho ho. How fascinating.
      He sounds like he was quite
      an ambitious young man.

    Mia:
      (What do I do!?
      Maybe I should ask him for
      some more details?)

    *** About timing of the meeting ************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   So you are absolutely
    *   certain that you met at 2:45?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Yeah, pretty sure.
    *   That's the time class ends.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   But they're always doing
    *   experiments, so it doesn't
    *   matter much.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   Experiments...?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Yeah. Those pharmacology
    *   guys are always in the lab
    *   whipping up something.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Well, it looks like he's
    *   right about the time anyway.)
    *
    * Payne:
    *   Witness, let's go on with
    *   your testimony.
    *
    ********************************************

    *** About Pharmacology Dept. ***************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   I was wondering if you could
    *   tell us a bit more about the
    *   Pharmacology Department.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Well OK, sure.
    *   I don't know all that much
    *   though.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   A little bit earlier in your
    *   testimony, you said something
    *   interesting.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   You said the department uses
    *   strange machines that run on
    *   high-voltage electricity.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   That's right.
    *   And they sure look dangerous.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   They use non-standard
    *   voltages, so there are high-
    *   voltage cables everywhere.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   "High-voltage cables"...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Yeah, there were electrical
    *   poles set up all around the
    *   building.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   The high-voltage cables run
    *   overhead around the roof.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Finally I think we're
    *   getting somewhere...!)
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Forget about it ************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (I've gotten everything I need
    *   from this statement. It's time
    *   to move on.)
    *
    * Payne:
    *   In any case, let's continue
    *   with your testimony.
    *
    ********************************************

(3)
Phoenix:
 We talked for a bit, and then
 at around 3:00, we split up.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So what was it you were
      talking about?

    Phoenix:
      You know... *achoo* *cough*
      That maybe we should hang out
      again sometime.

    Mia:
      ("Hang out again sometime"?
      I wish that were true.)

(4)
Phoenix:
 Then later when I went back,
 I found him lying there.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So you say you went back...

    Phoenix:
      Umm, yeah.
      That's when I found the body.

    Mia:
      Yes, but why did you go back
      in the first place?
      Weren't you angry with him?

    Phoenix:
      Well, th-that's right, I was.

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Mia:
      Then why, Mr. Wright?
      Why did you go back there?

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Phoenix:
      Umm...
      I thought maybe we could
      make up.

    Mia:
      ...

    Payne:
      ...

    Judge:
      ...

    Phoenix:
      ...
      *achoo* *achoo*

    Mia:
      (Judging by the atmosphere...
      I'm pretty sure no one is
      buying this.)

(5)
Phoenix:
 I'd been taking Coldkiller X for
 the last 2 or 3 days...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      It's rather unusual to catch a
      cold this time of the year,
      isn't it?

    Phoenix:
      Yeah, I always get a little
      careless when the weather
      starts to warm up.

    Phoenix:
      I guess I shouldn't sleep
      with the window open
      this early in spring, huh?

    Mia:
      (I suppose common sense
      is not always common...)

    Mia:
      So...
      Did anyone else know that you
      were taking cold medicine?

    Phoenix:
      Well, I always took one
      after meals...

    Phoenix:
      So I'm pretty sure all my
      friends knew about it.

(6)
Phoenix:
 But I lost my bottle of it
 around lunchtime on the day
 of the accident.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      On the day of the incident,
      what did you do for lunch...?

    Phoenix:
      Huh? What does that have
      to do with anything?

    Mia:
      You can never be too sure...

    Phoenix:
      I always eat with Dollie...
      Just the two of us.

    Phoenix:
      Dollie's homemade lunches are
      just the greatest!

    Phoenix:
      Mmm! Her mini-omelettes are
      magically delicious!
      Eheh heh heh.

    Grossberg:
      Yeowch!!
      Wh-Why did you punch me in
      the jaw!?

    Mia:
      Oh! I-I'm so sorry...!
      I just felt like hurting
      someone all of a sudden!

--------------------------------------------

Grossberg:
 Well, Mia?

Mia:
 I don't know...

Mia:
 I can't seem to find any
 contradictions.

Grossberg:
 The boy isn't exactly what
 I'd call a natural-born liar,
 you know.

Grossberg:
 But still, we can't have him
 continue to spout nonsense.

Mia:
 I know... But what can I do!?

Grossberg:
 Well, I'm certain he must
 still be hiding something.

Grossberg:
 Information! Right now it's
 information we need more
 than anything else!

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*After pressing at (2) [+ second choice] and (6)*

Judge:
 I think that's enough for now.

Judge:
 So the defendant and the
 victim met at approximately
 the time of his death.

Judge:
 And then the defendant
 returned to the scene for some
 unknown reason.

Payne:
 I'm not entirely convinced by
 his explanation about the
 medicine bottle either.

Judge:
 Let me be frank here,
 Mr. Wright.

Judge:
 Your testimony cannot be
 trusted.

Phoenix:
 Wh-What do you mean!?

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee...

Payne:
 I knew it was too much work
 for a little girl.

Mia:
 Hmph...!

Judge:
 However, there is one
 mystery that still remains.

Payne:
 There is, Your Honor?

Judge:
 How the murder was
 carried out, of course.

Judge:
 Just how was the victim
 electrocuted?

Judge:
 I don't believe the murder
 weapon has been produced yet,
 correct?

Payne:
 Well, that is... I...
 You are correct, Your Honor.

Mia:
 (So how exactly was
 Mr. Swallow killed...?)

Mia:
 (If I could somehow establish
 how it was done...)

Mia:
 (Maybe I could still come out
 of this mess smelling like a
 rose!)

*** Establish murder method ****************

********************************************

*** Can't right now ************************
*
* Mia:
*   (Hmm, I do have one idea, but
*   it would be impossible to

*
* Grossberg:
*   Mia, m'dear.
*
* Grossberg:
*   If you have any ideas, now is
*   the time to present them.
*
* Mia:
*   Mr. Grossberg!
*
* Grossberg:
*   Remember, silence is
*   NOT golden.
*   ...In court, anyway.
*
* Mia:
*   (Silence is not golden, huh?
*   Well in that case...)
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

Mia:
 Your Honor!

Judge:
 Y-Yes, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 I believe that if we were to
 piece together everything
 we've heard up until now...

Mia:
 ...we should be able to solve
 the mystery of how
 Mr. Swallow died.

Judge:
 Th-That would be most
 impressive!

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee...
 Quite the brash statement
 coming from a rookie!

Payne:
 But even a beginner like you
 must understand the basic
 rules of the court, yes?

Payne:
 An attorney must be able to
 substantiate their arguments
 with evidence!

Mia:
 Hmph! Of course I know that!
 (Actually, I had totally
 forgotten about that...)

Judge:
 Now then, Ms. Fey.
 Let me see what you've got.

Judge:
 Show me how you believe
 the victim was electrocuted!

*** Present something wrong ****************
*
* Mia:
*   *TAKE THAT!*
*
* Judge:
*   Ms. Fey, I'm deeply
*   disappointed in you.
*
* Payne:
*   I'm disappointed as well,
*   Ms. Fey.
*
* Grossberg:
*   To be honest, I'm a bit
*   disappointed too, Mia.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*   *achoo*
*
* Mia:
*   (Argh! I need to use my
*   brain on this!)
*
* Mia:
*   (Come on, Mia!
*   You can't strike out here!)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

*Present Crime Photo 1*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 As for the cause of
 death...

Mia:
 ...I'd say this picture
 captures it quite well!

Judge:
 Wh-What!?

Judge:
 But there is nothing that
 even remotely resembles
 a murder weapon here...

Judge:
 Hmm, I'm afraid the defense is
 going to have to explain this
 in a bit more detail.

Judge:
 Ms. Fey, where exactly in this
 photo is the murder weapon?

*** Present anywhere else ******************
*
* Mia:
*   Well naturally...
*   it's right around here!
*   ...I think.
*
* Judge:
*   Ms. Fey, I'm deeply
*   disappointed in you.
*
* Payne:
*   I'm disappointed as well,
*   Ms. Fey.
*
* Grossberg:
*   To be honest, I'm a bit
*   disappointed too, Mia.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*   *achoo*

* Mia:
*   (Argh! I need to use my
*   brain on this!)
*
* Mia:
*   (Come on, Mia!
*   You can't strike out here!)
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

*Present severed electrical cable*

Mia:
 Well, naturally...
 it's right here!

Judge:
 That's... That's...
 What is that?

Mia:
 A severed electrical cable,
 I believe... Your Honor.

Mia:
 Remember the testimony
 we've heard.

Mia:
 The machines the pharmacology
 students use in their experi-
 ments require high voltage...

Mia:
 ...and because of that, there
 are special high-voltage
 cables strung up everywhere!

Judge:
 So then, the high-voltage
 cable...!

Mia:
 Yes, the high-voltage cable is
 the cause of death. That is
 the most likely explanation!

Judge:
 Hmm...
 That certainly sounds
 plausible.

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Payne? What do you
 have to say about this?

Payne:
 Well... I believe some praise
 is in order.

Mia:
 Don't toy with me, old man!

Payne:
 Now, now. The victim's cause
 of death may indeed have been
 a high-voltage cable.

Payne:
 However!
 I want you to think about
 what that really implies!

Payne:
 The only one who had the
 opportunity to use the cable
 as a murder weapon was...

Payne:
 The defendant!

Phoenix:
 ...
 *achoo*

Judge:
 Hmm...
 That much is certainly true.

Payne:
 Yes, and that's not all.
 We have proof.

Payne:
 Irrefutable proof that will
 establish that Mr. Wright
 was the murderer.

Judge:
 Y-You do!? Well, what is it!?

Payne:
 His fingerprints.

Judge:
 Fingerprints...?

Judge:
 You mean that the defendant's
 fingerprints were on something
 besides the medicine bottle?

Payne:
 Let's take another look at the
 crime scene photo.

Payne:
 As you can see, the victim is
 wearing a leather jacket.

Payne:
 And as you may know, leather
 holds fingerprints quite well.

Mia:
 Ah!
 Y-You mean...?

Payne:
 Yes. It was quite clearly
 imprinted on the chest
 area of the victim's jacket.

Payne:
 The palm print of the
 defendant's very own hand!

Judge:
 Wh-Whaaat!?

Payne:
 I can only think of one way
 Mr. Wright could have left
 a print like that.

Payne:
 Intent on murder, he squarely
 pushed the victim towards the
 severed electrical cable!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 That's enough!

Judge:
 I think we can conclude that
 there is no reason to continue
 with this cross-examination.

Grossberg:
 Stick a fork in us, we're
 done.

Mia:
 M-Mr. Grossberg!

Grossberg:
 My hemorrhoids never lie.
 The show is over, Mia.

Grossberg:
 I knew that boy was guilty the
 first time I saw him.

Mia:
 N-No! You're wrong!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright is innocent.

Judge:
 No further evidence is
 required to convince me of
 this man's guilt!

Mia:
 Y-Your Honor...!

Judge:
 At this time, I am prepared to
 render a verdict in this case!

Mia:
 *HOLD IT!*

Judge:
 Do you have something
 further to add, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 Is this what you want,
 Mr. Wright!?

Phoenix:
 ...!

Mia:
 You still haven't told us
 the truth... the whole truth.

Mia:
 If you don't say something
 now, the judge is going to
 hand down his verdict!

Phoenix:
 B-But I... I can't!
 I-I just can't say it!

Phoenix:
 If I told you what really
 happened, then I'd b-be...

Mia:
 It's OK, Mr. Wright.
 I'm your attorney.
 You can trust me.

Phoenix:
 M-Miss Fey...

Mia:
 No matter what it is you have
 to say...

Mia:
 I believe in you and I'll
 represent you to the very end.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 We've already established
 the defendant's guilt.

Payne:
 There's no further need for
 him to say anything.

Phoenix:
 *cough* *cough*

Phoenix:
 W-Wait a minute!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright...

Phoenix:
 I...
 I'll tell you what really
 happened!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 But I've already told you,
 Mr. Wright. There's no need
 for further...

Phoenix:
 *cough*

Phoenix:
 I-I-I... I did it...
 I admit it!
 I pushed him!

Phoenix:
 It's my fault...
 My f-fault that D-Doug Swallow
 is dead!

--------------------------------------------

 That girl...
 You shouldn't see her anymore.

 Hey!
 It's none of your business!

 I'm telling you for your sake.
 If you continue to see her,
 it's going to be bad news.

 Y-You're lying!

 Just listen to me.
 There's something you need
 to know about that girl... ...

 Stop it!

 D-Don't talk about her like
 that!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 ...
 What you just said...
 Was that the truth!?

Phoenix:
 Y-Yes, I... I was afraid...
 Afraid that if I told the
 truth...

Phoenix:
 ...everyone would think I was
 the murderer for sure!

Judge:
 Well, as things currently
 stand, we're all absolutely
 convinced you are!

Phoenix:
 P-Please...!

Phoenix:
 Please give me one more
 chance to explain!

Phoenix:
 This time I swear...
 I swear I'll tell the whole
 truth!

Phoenix:
 It'll be OK, won't it,
 Miss Fey? I...
 I believe in you!

Mia:
 Oh! Um, th-thank you.

Mia:
 (I still can't believe it...
 He really did push the
 victim...)

Grossberg:
 Unnngh...
 It feels like my hemorrhoids
 are doing the Harlem Shake!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- When I Pushed The Victim --

(1)
Phoenix:
 That guy... He was talking
 bad about Dollie...

(2)
Phoenix:
 I lost my temper and gave
 him a shove!

(3)
Phoenix:
 At that moment, I heard
 some kind of loud noise...

(4)
Phoenix:
 A little while after I left,
 I started to get worried.

(5)
Phoenix:
 So I went back. But h-he
 was just laying there, d-dead!

--------------------------------------------

Payne:
 Well, the explanation is
 really quite simple.

Payne:
 When you pushed him,
 Mr. Swallow flew back and
 touched the electrical cable.

Payne:
 He died from the shock.
 And that, as they say, is
 that.

Judge:
 Hmm... A simple explanation
 indeed.

Payne:
 At the time of the incident,
 a light rain had been falling.

Payne:
 Wet from the rain, the victim
 was more easily electrocuted.

Phoenix:
 B-But!

Phoenix:
 When I pushed him, there
 weren't any electrical cables
 nearby!

Phoenix:
 If there had been something
 like that, even I would've
 noticed it!

Mia:
 (That's true...
 Even a dufus like him couldn't
 miss that!)

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Ms. Fey.

Judge:
 Let me warn you right now that
 if your cross-examination
 doesn't yield any new facts...

Judge:
 ...I intend to deliver my
 verdict without further delay.
 Are we clear on that?

Mia:
 Y-Yes, Your Honor.

Mia:
 (Don't give up, Mia!)

Mia:
 (If he is innocent, there must
 be some kind of evidence
 somewhere that will prove it!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- When I Pushed The Victim --

(1)
Phoenix:
 That guy... He was talking
 bad about Dollie...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So what kinds of things did
      Mr. Swallow say to you?

    Phoenix:
      He said all sorts of terrible
      things about Dollie!

    Phoenix:
      He said that she was a
      bad girl!

    Payne:
      ...

    Mia:
      ...

    Judge:
      ...
      Umm...
      Is that all?

    Phoenix:
      Yup!

    Judge:
      Well, Ms. Fey, you
      heard him yourself.

    Mia:
      (Oh boy! You're not doing
      yourself any favors here,
      Mr. Wright!)

    Mia:
      (Please don't make this harder
      for me than it already is!)

    Phoenix:
      Anyway... After he said that,
      I just, I just...

(2)
Phoenix:
 I lost my temper and gave
 him a shove!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Can you tell me about what
      happened in a little more
      detail?

    Phoenix:
      That guy... He just said what
      he wanted to say to me...

    Phoenix:
      And then he put on the jacket
      he was holding and started
      to leave.

    Phoenix:
      That's when... That's when I
      lost my temper and flew into
      a furious frenzy!

    Phoenix:
      I just gave him a... light,
      gentle shove to the chest.

    Mia:
      And when you did that, there
      was no severed cable anywhere
      to be seen?

    Phoenix:
      Right! There was nothing
      like that at all!

    Payne:
      But is it possible that you
      merely overlooked it?

    Phoenix:
      ...
      Well, I guess it's possible.

    Mia:
      (What are you doing!? Don't
      let that guy steamroll over
      you like cheap asphalt!)

    Judge:
      I believe what's important
      here is the moment the
      push occurred.

    Judge:
      Let's continue on with the
      testimony, witness.

(3)
Phoenix:
 At that moment, I heard some
 kind of loud noise...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      A "loud noise"?
      And what would you say that
      loud noise was, Mr. Wright?

    Phoenix:
      I'm not sure...
      But it was really loud!

    Phoenix:
      It was like, "SNAP!"...
      You know, come to think of it,
      I wonder what that was...

    Payne:
      Hee, hee, hee, hee...

    Payne:
      Clearly, Your Honor, it was
      the sound of the victim being
      electrocuted.

    Mia:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Mia:
      Y-You're not qualified to
      decide that!

    Mia:
      (What should I do?
      I'm treading on some
      dangerous ground here...)

    *** Ask for more details *******************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   Mr. Wright, that "loud noise"
    *   you heard may be extremely
    *   important.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   So try to remember what it
    *   was!
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Umm, how do I put it...
    *   It was like a sharp crack.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Aha! Could it...
    *   Could it have been...?
    *
    * Mia:
    *   Yes?
    *   Could it have been?
    *   Hurry up and tell us!
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   When I pushed him, he dropped
    *   the umbrella he was holding.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   He fell right on top of it,
    *   and it broke.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   That was probably the noise
    *   I heard.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   An umbrella, huh? And did that
    *   umbrella belong to the victim?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Yeah, it was a plastic
    *   umbrella. Cheap and frail,
    *   kind of like the owner!
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Then again, I wish I had any
    *   kind of umbrella. I was
    *   totally soaked to the bone.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Hmm...
    *   Ms. Fey.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   What do you think? Is there
    *   something important in that
    *   testimony just now?
    *
    * Mia:
    *   Umm, well...
    *
    * *** Of course it's important! **************
    * *
    * * Mia:
    * *   (This is it, Mia!
    * *   The new information you've
    * *   been waiting for!)
    * *
    * * Mia:
    * *   Of course it's important! No!
    * *   This cheap umbrella is more
    * *   than important; it's vital!
    * *
    * * Mia:
    * *   I want to officially have it
    * *   entered into the testimony!
    * *
    * * Payne:
    * *   Ha! How perfectly fitting.
    * *   Flimsy information for a
    * *   flimsy lawyer!
    * *
    * * Judge:
    * *   The court agrees to the
    * *   defense's request.
    * *
    * * Judge:
    * *   Witness, please add the bit
    * *   about the cheap umbrella to
    * *   your testimony.
    * *
    * * CHANGE (3) TO (3b)
    * *
    * ********************************************
    *
    * *** Of course it's not important! **********
    * *
    * * Mia:
    * *   Of course it's not important!
    * *
    * * Judge:
    * *   M-Ms. Fey!
    * *   How can you state that
    * *   so proudly!?
    * *
    * * Mia:
    * *   Well, it just isn't!
    * *   It's not important one bit!
    * *   Not even one iota. OK?
    * *
    * * Grossberg:
    * *   Mia! That's enough!
    * *   You're making a fool of
    * *   yourself!
    * *
    * * Phoenix:
    * *   Umm...
    * *   Is it OK if I go on?
    * *
    * ********************************************

    *
    * Mia:
    *   (I've got other, more pressing
    *   things to ask about.)

    * Mia:
    *   Very well, Mr. Wright,
    *   let's move on, shall we?

    ********************************************

(3b)
Phoenix:
 After I shoved him, he...
 He fell down on top of his
 cheap umbrella.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So Mr. Swallow fell on top of
      his umbrella?
      And you are certain of this?

    Phoenix:
      Yeah.
      It was right there under him.

    Phoenix:
      Actually, if it hadn't been
      under him, I was planning on
      borrowing it for myself.

    Mia:
      The umbrella, you mean?

    Phoenix:
      Well yeah, you see I was
      wearing this sweater here...

    Phoenix:
      Dollie stayed up late for
      nights at a time knitting
      it for me...

    Phoenix:
      I didn't want the rain to
      dampen the handmade symbol
      of her love...

    Grossberg:
      Oomph! My stomach is not
      to be used as your personal
      soccer ball, Mia!

    Mia:
      Ah! I-I'm so sorry!

    Judge:
      Continue on with your
      testimony, witness.

(4)
Phoenix:
 A little while after I left,
 I started to get worried.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      After you shoved the victim,
      did you leave the scene right
      away?

    Phoenix:
      Yes, I did! I admit it!
      I-I was furious!

    Payne:
      You left without even checking
      Mr. Swallow's condition?

    Phoenix:
      Well, um, yeah...
      But like I said, I got worried
      about him later.

(5)
Phoenix:
 So I went back. But h-he
 was just laying there, d-dead!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      At that time, did you see
      anyone else at the scene of
      the crime?

    Phoenix:
      *cough* *cough*...
      *cough* *cough* *cough*
      Um, nope. Nobody...

    Mia:
      (Geez. Could that stupid
      cough possibly sound any
      phonier?)

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    Judge:
      In that case, it's very hard
      to believe someone else could
      have been the murderer...

--------------------------------------------

Grossberg:
 Unless we can find something
 that shows his innocence from
 that testimony, m'dear...

Grossberg:
 I'm afraid the judge will make
 his final decision with
 no remorse whatsoever!

Mia:
 Y-Yes, sir!

Mia:
 (Right now I need more info;
 info that will help me turn
 up some contradictions!)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Crime Photo 1* at (3b)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Why didn't you testify about
 the umbrella from the very
 beginning?

Phoenix:
 Come on...
 If I had mentioned that...

Mia:
 I would've been able to
 counter the prosecution's
 arguments earlier!

Payne:
 Wh-What do you mean by that?

Mia:
 Take another look at the crime
 scene photo!

Mia:
 According to Mr. Wright, the
 victim fell on top of his
 umbrella.

Mia:
 However, if you look
 closely...

Mia:
 ...the umbrella is nowhere
 near the victim. Actually,
 it's by the electrical pole!

Judge:
 Y-You're absolutely right!

Mia:
 The conclusion here is
 obvious.

Mia:
 After the defendant left, the
 victim moved from where he
 fell. In other words...

Mia:
 After he was pushed by
 the defendant, Mr. Swallow
 was still alive!

Payne:
 Nnnnooooo!!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 The victim... He moved...!?

Judge:
 Mr. Payne!
 The umbrella in this photo...
 Where is it now?

Payne:
 W-Well, it was collected by
 the police at the crime
 scene...

Judge:
 I want it presented as
 evidence immediately!

*Umbrella added to the
Court Record.*

Payne:
 B-But the umbrella could
 have simply been blown
 there by the wind!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 According to the testimony,
 the victim fell on top of the
 umbrella.

Mia:
 There's simply no way it
 could have been blown there
 by the wind!

Payne:
 Nnn... Gggg... Hrrmph!
 B-B-But...!

Judge:
 I know this matter of the
 umbrella seems relatively
 trivial...

Judge:
 But as long as the smallest
 doubt remains, I cannot
 render final judgment!

Payne:
 N-N-N...

Payne:
 Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 However, I still find it hard
 to believe that a huge hole
 has been blown in the...

Judge:
 ...prosecution's case by the
 defendant's testimony.

*Phoenix's Testimony added
to the Court Record.*

Grossberg:
 Well done, Mia!

Payne:
 ......Hee hee.
 Hee hee hee hee hee...

Judge:
 Mr. Payne!
 What are you chuckling about?

Payne:
 Pardon me, Your Honor.
 It seems I was expecting too
 much of a free ride.

Payne:
 It was foolish to think I
 could establish guilt through
 cross-examination alone.

Judge:
 I'm afraid I don't follow what
 you're saying!

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 Let me guess.
 You have another witness.

Payne:
 Exactly!
 And this witness's testimony
 will be incontrovertible!

Judge:
 Well!? Who is this witness!?

Payne:
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne.

Judge:
 Dahlia Hawthorne?
 You don't mean...
 "Dollie"?

Payne:
 I do, Your Honor.

Payne:
 The defendant's very own
 lover is a witness to the
 whole thing!

Payne:
 That's right. She was at the
 scene of the crime when
 the murder took place!

Judge:
 Whaaaat!?

Payne:
 I'm sorry to break the bad
 news to you, my dear.

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 "Bad news"?
 You couldn't be more wrong.

Mia:
 Actually...
 I've been waiting for this.

Payne:
 You can't be serious...

Grossberg:
 Mia!
 What do you mean by that...?

Judge:
 I think this is a good point
 for us to stop at. Court will
 now enter a 20 minute recess.

Judge:
 Afterwards, we will listen to
 the testimony of Ms. Dahlia
 Hawthorne.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 11, 11:52 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3

Phoenix:
 Miss Fey... I-I'm sorry
 about what happened back
 there... I... I...

Mia:
 It's alright. At least you
 told us the truth in the end,
 Mr. Wright.

Phoenix:
 Yeah...
 So I guess I can start to
 relax then, huh?

Grossberg:
 Relax, my boy? You can't be
 serious! After hiding such
 important facts...

Phoenix:
 B-But...!
 But the next witness is my
 Dollie, right?

Phoenix:
 She'll save me!
 I just know she will!

Mia:
 Why do you think that?

Phoenix:
 Huh!? What do you mean!?
 She... She's the love of
 my life, that's why!

Mia:
 The love of your life, huh...

Mia:
 Would you mind telling me more
 about you and... Ms. Dahlia
 Hawthorne?

Phoenix:
 Sure! No problem!

Phoenix:
 Dollie and I... We first met
 about eight months ago right
 here in this very courthouse.

Phoenix:
 Actually, I'm studying to be a
 lawyer, on the side...
 Anyway!

Phoenix:
 One day, she and I just bumped
 into each other in the reading
 room downstairs.

Phoenix:
 That's why I really think it
 was fate that brought us
 together.

Phoenix:
 As soon as I first set eyes
 on her, I knew she was the
 one for me.

Phoenix:
 Oh, here! Take a look at this!

Mia:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 She gave this to me the day
 we met as a symbol of our
 love!

Phoenix:
 She had been wearing it
 around her neck that day,
 but then...

Phoenix:
 ...she took it off, but before
 she gave it to me she said,
 "I want you to carry this."

Grossberg:
 So she gave it to you as a
 present, I see.

Phoenix:
 This darling little bottle is
 filled with memories of my
 darling little Dollie!

Mia:
 It certainly is a little
 bottle alright.

Phoenix:
 It makes me so happy, I
 show it to everyone I meet!

Phoenix:
 I want to share my happiness
 with the whole world!

*Dahlia's Present borrowed
from Phoenix Wright.*

Mia:
 Um, anyway...

Mia:
 So after that, you and
 Ms. Hawthorne started dating?

Phoenix:
 Yeah, but she's so shy. Every
 time I see her, she always
 says the same thing to me.

Phoenix:
 "Please give it back now."

Grossberg:
 What a strange girl, asking
 for a present back like
 that...

Mia:
 By the way, Mr. Wright.

Mia:
 The day you first met Dahlia
 Hawthorne, eight months ago...

Mia:
 It wouldn't happen to have
 been on August 27th, would it?

Phoenix:
 Huh...?
 Y-Yeah, it was...
 But how did you...?

Mia:
 This happened on August 27th,
 right here in this courthouse.

Phoenix:
 What's this?
 A newspaper clipping?

Phoenix:
 Let's see...
 "Murder in the Courthouse?"
 M-Murder?

Grossberg:
 What are you reading there!?
 Let me see that!

Grossberg:
 .........!
 Oh, I see.

Grossberg:
 Mia... I think I understand
 what you're trying to say.

Grossberg:
 And I think I understand why
 you suddenly took such a
 keen interest in this case.

Grossberg:
 You believe there is some
 relationship between these
 two cases. Am I correct?

*Newspaper Clipping added
to the Court Record.*

Mia:
 I hope you don't mind,
 Mr. Grossberg...

Mia:
 I... I need to finish this
 myself.

Grossberg:
 Ah, yes, but... I'm afraid
 what you have will not be
 enough, m'dear.

Grossberg:
 I'll go and have a look at the
 downstairs reading room and
 see what else I can find.

Mia:
 Th-Thank you!

Grossberg:
 I want to do whatever I can to
 be of help to you, Mia!

Grossberg:
 Well, it looks like recess is
 about over. We'd better all
 get moving!

Mia:
 (I guess so...)

Mia:
 (That recess sure seemed
 longer than 20 minutes
 though...)


                                            To be continued.

April 11, 12:13 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2

Judge:
 Court will now reconvene.
 Mr. Payne, please call your
 witness.

Payne:
 This next person is someone
 who witnessed the crime as
 it happened.

Payne:
 The prosecution calls
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne
 to the stand!

--------------------------------------------

Payne:
 ...

Judge:
 ...

Mia:
 (Wh-What's with this stiff
 silence...?)

Judge:
 In my long career as a judge,
 I have been deceived by many
 witnesses.

Judge:
 It's my job to doubt;
 to take no one at
 their word...

Judge:
 But in your case, I must
 admit that you radiate a
 glow of complete sincerity.

Mia:
 (I can't believe he actually
 said that!)

Payne:
 Oh! Um, now then, witness.
 Could you please state your
 full name?

Dahlia:
 ...
 I, umm...

Judge:
 Don't worry, sweetie.
 There's no need to be nervous!

Payne:
 If anyone says anything rude,
 you can be sure, I'll cut them
 right down to size!

Judge:
 And I will bash them
 with my gavel!

Mia:
 (I love how they look straight
 at me when they say that...)

Dahlia:
 Um, thank you... for calming
 my nerves.

Dahlia:
 You are all so nice...
 I almost feel right at home.

Payne:
 Not at all!

Judge:
 It was nothing!

Mia:
 If we may move on now...
 What is your full name
 and occupation?

Dahlia:
 My name is Dahlia Hawthorne.

Dahlia:
 I'm a junior in Literature
 at Ivy University.

Dahlia:
 I just want to say...
 It's an honor for me to be
 here in your noble presence.

Payne:
 The honor is all mine!

Judge:
 No... The honor is all mine.

Mia:
 (Well, we know whose
 milkshake brings all the
 boys to the yard...)

Dahlia:
 ...Umm. Sir?

Payne:
 Is there something I can
 help you with?

Judge:
 You just go on and say
 whatever is on your mind!

Dahlia:
 I'm sure that there must be
 some kind of mistake.

Dahlia:
 Feenie wouldn't kill anyone.
 I just know it!

Judge:
 Yes, yes...
 I can see why you'd say that.

Mia:
 (She's going to be a tough
 witness, alright...)

Mia:
 (It only took her 12 seconds
 to wrap them all around
 her little finger.)

Judge:
 Now then, please proceed
 with your testimony.

Judge:
 Let's hear about what you
 witnessed on the day of the
 incident, if you please.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I Witnessed --

(1)
Dahlia:
 I had been planning to go
 back to Feenie's place after
 class was over.

(2)
Dahlia:
 Feenie and Dougie...
 They were talking
 behind the building.

(3)
Dahlia:
 Then suddenly... Dougie got
 all wobbly and just collapsed.

(4)
Dahlia:
 That's when Feenie noticed
 that I was there.

(5)
Dahlia:
 I went to go and find some
 other students and they
 called the authorities.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 I-I don't know what to say!
 According to you,
 Ms. Hawthorne...

Judge:
 ...the defendant didn't do
 anything wrong!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Young lady.

Payne:
 As old as I am, even I recall
 how hot the flames of young
 passion can burn.

Payne:
 Nevertheless... It is my job
 to discover the truth.

Payne:
 Please, tell us the truth...

Dahlia:
 But... But, I...
 I would never...

Mia:
 *HOLD IT!*

Mia:
 That's more than enough,
 witness. I won't allow this
 to continue.

Judge:
 Wh-What do you mean by that?

Mia:
 Please, just let me proceed
 with my cross-examination,
 Your Honor.

Mia:
 I, for one, don't plan to win
 my case on a bunch of
 paper-thin lies!

Dahlia:
 ...Tee hee.
 You haven't changed a bit...

Dahlia:
 Mia Fey.

Mia:
 ...

Payne:
 What's this?
 So, you two are... acquainted?

Mia:
 Yes.
 We've met before... Once.

Dahlia:
 ...

Judge:
 In any case, Ms. Fey,
 the floor is all yours.

Dahlia:
 It's good to see you again,
 Madame Fey!

Mia:
 "Madame"!?
 (I'm no one's grandma yet,
 girlie!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What I Witnessed --

(1)
Dahlia:
 I had been planning to go
 back to Feenie's place after
 class was over.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Now, unless I'm mistaken,
      Feenie -- I mean, Mr. Wright
      is in the Art Department.

    Mia:
      If that's the case, then
      what were you doing by
      the Pharmacology building?

    Dahlia:
      Well... I'm in the Literature
      Department. I'm studying
      Japanese Senryu poetry.

    Judge:
      Oho hoh! How wonderful!
      It's that humorous, yet
      satirical style of haiku, yes?

    Dahlia:
      "Nothing left to do...
      When a man reaches this age,
      sleep is his best friend."

    Mia:
      (That's supposed to be poetry?
      Sounds more like a mid-life
      crisis!)

    Dahlia:
      For me to get to the Art
      Department, I have to walk
      through that back area.

    Judge:
      Ah, yes I see.
      That makes sense.

    Judge:
      When I want to enter the
      courthouse, I always walk
      through the front doors.

    Mia:
      (How else would you enter?
      Teleportation!?)

(2)
Dahlia:
 Feenie and Dougie...
 They were talking
 behind the building.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So who is this "Dougie"
      person?

    Dahlia:
      Oh, I'm sorry. Doug Swallow.
      We were dating until about
      eight months ago...

    Mia:
      So what were Dougie-- *ahem*
      Mr. Swallow and Mr. Wright
      talking about anyway?

    Dahlia:
      ...

    Dahlia:
      H-How can you be so mean?

    Dahlia:
      I would never...
      I would never eavesdrop...

    Dahlia:
      I wasn't raised to be so rude
      and unrefined!

    Payne:
      That's right, Ms. Fey!

    Judge:
      Don't drag the witness down
      to your level!

    Mia:
      (Why am I being demonized
      here?)

    Judge:
      Please, go on.
      What did you see next?

(3)
Dahlia:
 Then suddenly... Dougie got
 all wobbly and just collapsed.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Are you saying that the
      victim just collapsed on
      his own?

    Dahlia:
      Y-Yes.

    Mia:
      In other words, the defendant
      never touched the victim.
      Is that right?

    Dahlia:
      I was watching the whole time.
      Feenie never did a thing to
      Dougie!

    Mia:
      (If I press her for no good
      reason, I just know the judge
      will get angry with me...)

    Mia:
      (Hmm, so what should I do
      about her testimony just now?)

    *** Leave it alone *************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Hmm... I suppose her
    *   statement works in
    *   our favor, for now.)
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (I'll hold off on looking
    *   into it any deeper until
    *   it's necessary.)
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Very well, young lady, please
    *   go on with your testimony.

    *   so let's drop them, shall we?
    *
    * Dahlia:
    *   Wh-What...! I...!
    *   I would never...!
    *
    * Payne:
    *   *OBJECTION!*
    *
    * Payne:
    *   Ms. Fey! I will not allow

    *
    * Mia:
    *   ...
    *
    * Payne:
    *   I-I believe the defense is

    * Mia:

    *
    * Payne:
    *   That is... Err... She has no

    * Mia:
    *   Now then, Ms. Hawthorne.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   The defendant's palmprint
    *   was found on Mr. Swallow's
    *   leather jacket.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   It has already been shown that

    *
    * Mia:
    *   There's no need to try to

    *
    * Mia:
    *   It would be much better if you

    * Judge:
    *   Hmm...

(3b)
Dahlia:
 Um, actually, I didn't see the
 moment he pushed Dougie.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You didn't see it!?

    Dahlia:
      Well, I saw the moment when
      Dougie fell to the ground...

    Payne:
      And at that time, there was
      only the two of them at the
      scene?

    Payne:
      The defendant, Phoenix Wright,
      and the victim, Doug Swallow?

    Dahlia:
      Yes... that's right.

(4)
Dahlia:
 That's when Feenie noticed
 that I was there.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      And what did Mr. Wright say
      when he saw you?

    Dahlia:
      I-I'm sorry.
      I-I was so flustered that I...

    Dahlia:
      I really don't remember.
      P-Please forgive me.

    Mia:
      You don't remember...?

    Judge:
      Well, that's common enough.

    Judge:
      Sometimes I can't recall a
      sentence I passed only
      minutes prior!

    Mia:
      (Please... Someone, anyone...
      Stop him before he gets
      hurt... by me.)

(4b)
Dahlia:
 It didn't look like they were
 fighting, and I didn't hear
 any noise either.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So then, what did it look
      like they were doing to you?

    Dahlia:
      I thought they were having a
      nice, friendly afternoon
      conversation.

    Mia:
      (Oh, give me a break!)

    Dahlia:
      That's why I really wasn't
      watching them all that
      closely.

    Judge:
      Did you notice anything out
      of the ordinary at all?

    Dahlia:
      No, nothing at all...
      Mr. Judge.

    Judge:
      Oh, I like the sound of that!
      "Mr. Judge"...

    Judge:
      Now then, please proceed with
      your testimony.

(5)
Dahlia:
 I went to go and find some
 other students and they
 called the authorities.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      When you say "students"
      do you mean students from the
      Pharmacology Department?

    Dahlia:
      Yes. They're all very fond of
      their drugs...

    Mia:
      Please try to stay on topic!

    Mia:
      So to find some Pharmacology
      students, you went to the
      labs, correct?

    Dahlia:
      That's what I was planning
      to do... But in the end, I
      wound up not going.

    Dahlia:
      A group of about 10 research
      students came running
      out of the building entrance.

    Dahlia:
      Somehow they all seemed to
      know what was going on...

    Mia:
      (The students knew what
      was going on...?)

    *** Leave it alone *************************

    * Mia:
    *   (The Pharmacology students...
    *   They have nothing to do with
    *   the incident.)
    *
    * Mia:

    *   information about Dahlia
    *   herself.)
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Press for more details *****************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   But how could the students
    *   have known what was going on?
    *
    * Dahlia:
    *   Well... I don't know for sure
    *   that they knew what had
    *   happened.
    *
    * Dahlia:
    *   It's just, they all seemed
    *   kind of excited about
    *   something.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Hmm... It doesn't look like
    *   I'm going to get any more
    *   info about the students.)
    *
    * Payne:
    *   So did the students call the
    *   police?
    *
    * Dahlia:
    *   Y-Yes. I-I was just so...
    *   I was so panicked...
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Hmm. Yes, well anyone would
    *   have been, my dear.

 Way to go, Mia!)

*Present Phoenix's Testimony* at (4b)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 You say you didn't hear any
 noise. Is that correct?

Dahlia:
 Yes. That's why I was very
 relaxed, looking at the
 scenery around me.

Mia:
 That's nice, but I find that
 just a little odd.

Mia:
 I have here, the testimony of
 your boyfriend, Mr. Phoenix
 Wright.

Mia:
 And he clearly testified to
 the effect...

Mia:
 ...that when he pushed the
 victim, he heard a sharp,
 loud noise.

Dahlia:
 H-He said that?

Mia:
 If you were really that close
 to the two of them, why didn't
 you hear this noise as well?

Dahlia:
 I...!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 W-Well, maybe the noise just
 wasn't all that memorable.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 But according to Mr. Wright's
 testimony, it was a sharp
 noise like a "SNAP"!

Mia:
 There's no way a noise like
 that could fail to make an
 impression!

Payne:
 Ack!!

Dahlia:
 Umm...
 May I have a moment
 to answer?

Judge:
 B-By all means!

Dahlia:
 I know the reason why I
 didn't hear the noise.

Dahlia:
 You see, the truth is...

Dahlia:
 I had my headphones on, and
 I was listening to music at
 the time.

Payne:
 H-H-Headphones...?
 You mean that both of your
 ears were covered?

Dahlia:
 The rain was just beginning
 to let up...

Dahlia:
 But it seemed as though Thor
 wasn't ready for his fun to
 come to an end yet.

Dahlia:
 So the sky continued to flash
 and rumble.

Mia:
 Thunder and lightning, huh...

Dahlia:
 Yes, I'm afraid of the sound
 of thunder.

Dahlia:
 So I put my headphones on
 to block it out...

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee...
 Well, Your Honor?

Payne:
 As you can see, there
 weren't any contradictions
 in her testimony after all.

Judge:
 Hmm...
</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
Mia:
 (Wait a sec, Mia!

 whole case!)

* Payne:

********************************************

Mia:
 Your Honor! There is
 a problem with the
 witness's testimony!

Judge:
 Wh-What do you mean!?

Mia:
 Didn't you notice?
 She said there was lightning,
 correct?

Judge:
 Yes... What about it?

Mia:
 Well, lightning is actually a
 large discharge of electricity
 in the atmosphere, am I right?

Judge:
 Now's not the time for a
 science lesson, Ms. Fey!

Mia:
 Yes, Your Honor. Anyway,
 since the cause of death
 was electrocution...

Mia:
 ...isn't it possible that the
 victim died from being hit
 by a bolt of lightning!?

Judge:
 Oh!

Payne:
 Ah!

Dahlia:
 ...!

Judge:
 Hmm... I must admit that
 the thought had not
 occurred to me!

Mia:
 (Just what kind of thoughts
 DO occur to this guy anyway?)

Mia:
 This entire case is built on
 the premise that Mr. Doug
 Swallow was "murdered"...

Mia:
 ...but that very premise
 itself is mistaken!

Mia:
 The defense believes that
 Mr. Swallow was, in fact, the
 victim of a stray bolt!

Judge:
 I-It appears the defense
 may be on to something!

Judge:
 Could it be that the death
 was actually accidental?

Mia:
 (Alright, you did it, Mia!)

Mia:
 (I'll be taking that "Not
 Guilty" now if you don't--)

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...

Payne:
 I'm hurt that you have such a
 low opinion of me, Ms. Fey.

Mia:
 Huh...?

Payne:
 I'm not a fool, you know.
 The prosecution has done its
 research, Your Honor.

Payne:
 We found that there were
 no lightning strikes on
 that day at that location!

Mia:
 Whaaa!?

Payne:
 What's more...

Payne:
 We have evidence that the
 electrical cable is definitely
 linked to this case.

Judge:
 E-Evidence, Mr. Payne!?
 Well, what is this evidence?

Payne:
 This affidavit.

Judge:
 And who is this affidavit
 from?

Payne:
 The Pharmacology students who
 were conducting experiments in
 their labs that day.

Payne:
 Allow me to read out to the
 court the testimony of the
 Pharmacology students.

Payne:
 "All equipment in the labs
 lost power all of a sudden at
 around 3:00 PM that day."

Judge:
 Was it a blackout?

Payne:
 All of the labs' equipment
 runs of high-voltage, Your
 Honor.

Mia:
 So you're saying the equipment
 lost power because...

Payne:
 Precisely.
 They lost power because of
 the severed electrical cable.

Payne:
 The power outage occurred
 at approximately 3:00 PM...

Judge:
 Which fits with the time of
 death listed in the autopsy
 report.

Payne:
 Exactly! In other words...

Payne:
 The victim died as a result of
 touching the severed
 electrical cable.

Payne:
 According to the students,
 the cables were very old.

Payne:
 They were planning on having
 them replaced in the near
 future.

Judge:
 Hmm, I see...

Payne:
 Apparently the cables had
 become so brittle...

Payne:
 ...that even the smallest bump
 would've caused them to break.

*Students' Testimony added
to the Court Record.*

Judge:
 However...
 There is one thing
 that troubles me.

Judge:
 If the cable could have been
 broken by any small bump...

Judge:
 ...then it wouldn't have
 snapped if it hadn't been
 bumped into, correct?

Payne:
 W-Well... I suppose you could
 say that.

Judge:
 Hmm, Ms. Fey.

Judge:
 Do you have any thoughts
 regarding the cause of the
 severed cable?

Mia:
 Y-Your Honor...

Mia:
 (I don't like how this is
 looking one bit!)

Mia:
 (I have to come up with
 something to try to regain
 some momentum!)

Mia:
 If it pleases the court, the
 defense would like to state
 its opinion.

Judge:
 Well then, let's hear it.

Judge:
 Who or what was it that
 caused the cable to break?

*** Present something wrong ****************
*
* Mia:
*   *TAKE THAT!*
*
* Mia:
*   This is it!
*   This is why the cable snapped.
*
* Payne:
*   Well, Your Honor?
*
* Judge:
*   I believe that the only thing
*   that has snapped is the mind
*   of the defense.
*
* Payne:
*   Ah, that was one of your best
*   lines yet, Your Honor.
*
* Mia:
*   Nnnfff...!
*   (Ouch, that was harsh...)

* Mia:
*   Please, Your Honor!
*   Give me one more chance!

* RETURN TO QUESTION

********************************************

*Present Phoenix Wright profile*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Your Honor.
 Please think back to
 Mr. Wright's testimony.

Judge:
 The defendant's testimony?

Mia:
 He said that after he pushed
 the victim, he heard a loud,
 sharp noise.

Mia:
 Now, this happened at around
 3:00 PM, correct?

Judge:
 Yes, that sounds right.
 Wait! Are you saying that...

Mia:
 The lab equipment lost power
 at 2:55 PM... which fits right
 in Mr. Wright's timeline.

Mia:
 In other words, it was
 Mr. Wright's shove that
 caused the power outage.

Payne:
 Yes!
 The prosecution also came
 to that same conclusion.

Payne:
 And it was that very shove
 that caused Mr. Swallow to be
 electrocuted!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 I'm afraid I can't agree with
 you there, Mr. Payne.

Payne:
 Wh-What's that supposed
 to mean?

Mia:
 Take a good look at where
 the victim landed after being
 shoved.

Mia:
 See the umbrella?
 It's by the electrical pole.

Mia:
 That's right. The victim
 banged into that pole as a
 result of being pushed.

Mia:
 It was that impact that caused
 the cable to break.

Judge:
 Hmm... Well, that makes sense.
 And then the victim was
 electrocuted.

Mia:
 I'm sorry Your Honor, but no.
 It doesn't make sense at all.

Mia:
 If the victim was shoved into
 the far pole...

Mia:
 ...then he couldn't have been
 electrocuted by this severed
 cable in the foreground here!

Payne:
 AAAAAAAAAAHH!!

Mia:
 In other words...

Mia:
 Someone other than my client
 must have electrocuted the
 victim!

Judge:
 Order!
 Order in the court!

Mia:
 (Ah, the lamentations of
 my enemy. How I've longed
 to hear them!)

Judge:
 It-It's true...
 The defense is
 absolutely correct!

Judge:
 There doesn't seem to be any
 way the defendant could have
 done it--

Dahlia:
 Umm...
 Mr. Judge, sir?
 May I say something?

Dahlia:
 The madame attorney's
 explanation...

Dahlia:
 She said some things that are
 a little different than I
 remember them.

Judge:
 Wh-Wh-

Payne:
 Wh-Wh-

Mia:
 What the...!?

Dahlia:
 Please, just once more.

Dahlia:
 May I please testify one
 last time?
 Please... Mr. Judge?

Judge:
 Of course it's alright!

Judge:
 Just go right ahead and give
 your new testimony!

Mia:
 (This is it...)

Mia:
 (She's finally starting to
 show her true colors!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I Witnessed, Part 2 --

(1)
Dahlia:
 The truth is...
 Feenie pushed him twice.

(2)
Dahlia:
 The first time was into the
 electrical pole.
 That's when the cable broke.

(3)
Dahlia:
 Then Dougie tried his best
 to run away from him...

(4)
Dahlia:
 But Feenie caught up and
 crashed into him from behind.

(5)
Dahlia:
 The cable snapping, and Dougie
 being electrocuted -- it all
 occured in less than a minute.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...
 So after being shoved...

Judge:
 ...the victim got up and
 tried to run away.

Payne:
 And that is when the
 defendant pushed him for the
 second time.

Dahlia:
 I'm so sorry, Feenie...
 But I... I just have to tell
 the truth.

Dahlia:
 Am I doing the right thing?
 Am I, Mr. Judge?

Dahlia:
 Of course you are, my dear!
 As painful as it may seem,
 you are.

Judge:
 Now then, Ms. Fey.
 You may proceed with your
 cross-examination!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What I Witnessed, Part 2 --

(1)
Dahlia:
 The truth is...
 Feenie pushed him twice.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Ms. Hawthorne...
      Previously in your testimony
      you said the following...

    Mia:
      "Actually, I didn't see the
      moment he pushed Dougie."

    Dahlia:
      I know... I-I'm sorry.
      I wanted to protect Feenie.

    Mia:
      So that's why you basically
      lied to the court?

    Dahlia:
      I was a bad girl... I know...
      Um, Mr. Judge?

    Judge:
      Y-Yes?

    Dahlia:
      Would you please, please
      forgive little old me?

    Mia:
      Of course he won't!
      What you did is called
      "perjury"...

    Judge:
      Oh, come now!
      It was just a little old
      white lie!

    Judge:
      We'll forget it this time!
      But please be more careful
      from now on, alright?

    Dahlia:
      Oh, thank you so much,
      Mr. Judge.

    Judge:
      Not at all!
      Ho ho ho...!

    Mia:
      (The judge had better be more
      careful himself! A dark alley
      is friendlier than that girl!)

(2)
Dahlia:
 The first time was into the
 electrical pole.
 That's when the cable broke.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You're saying you actually saw
      the victim get pushed into the
      electrical pole?

    Dahlia:
      I know he doesn't look it, but
      Feenie can be a bit of an imp
      when he wants to be.

    Mia:
      (Oh, really...?)

    Dahlia:
      But I never imagined that he
      would cause an electrical
      cable to break...

    Dahlia:
      Feenie really is scary
      when he gets mad...

    Judge:
      Yes, he sounds like a very
      dangerous individual indeed.

(3)
Dahlia:
 Then Dougie tried his best
 to run away from him...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So let me get this straight.

    Mia:
      You were happily listening to
      music on your headphones while
      you watched this scene unfold?

    Dahlia:
      Waaaaah...

    Payne:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Payne:
      Ms. Fey! I'll have to ask you
      to stop badgering the witness!

    Dahlia:
      Umm... I wasn't happy...
      I was so scared that I
      couldn't even move.

    Dahlia:
      All I could do was stand there
      and cheer them on...

    Mia:
      Ch-Cheer them on?
      What do you mean by that?

    Dahlia:
      Well, I wished the best for
      them both, and that they would
      each give the fight their all.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      That's very sweet of you
      to be so supportive.

    Payne:
      And what happened after that?

(4)
Dahlia:
 But Feenie caught up and
 crashed into him from behind.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      That doesn't sound quite
      right...

    Mia:
      There were handprints found
      on the chest of the victim's
      leather jacket.

    Mia:
      Mr. Payne, were there also
      prints found on the back of
      his leather jacket?

    Payne:
      W-Well, um...
      N-No, there weren't...

    Dahlia:
      Madame Fey, may I suggest
      that you listen a little more
      carefully?

    Mia:
      ...!?

    Dahlia:
      I said that he "crashed" into
      him from behind, right?

    Dahlia:
      My Feenie wouldn't leave any
      prints behind in that case,
      would he?

    Mia:
      Unngghh...

(5)
Dahlia:
 The cable snapping, and Dougie
 being electrocuted -- it all
 occured in less than a minute.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Did you actually witness the
      moment the victim was
      electrocuted?

    Dahlia:
      I-I'm sorry.
      I didn't actually see it.

    Dahlia:
      I... I turned my eyes away...

    Payne:
      That's understandable.

    Judge:
      Yes indeed. It would have
      been a horrific sight for
      anyone to behold.

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (If I don't figure out the
 contradiction here...)

Mia:
 (...it's all over!)

Mia:
 (She didn't have much time
 to come up with her lie, so
 this is my best chance.)

Mia:
 (There must be a hole in her
 testimony somewhere!
 Think, Mia!)

*Present Crime Photo 2 or Students' Testimony* at (5)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 That's enough, witness.

Dahlia:
 I'm afraid I don't
 understand...

Mia:
 You will in a minute.
 Could you please take a look
 at this picture?

Dahlia:
 Oh. That medicine...
 That's the one Feenie likes
 to take for his cold.

Mia:
 It's not the medicine I want
 you to look at...

Mia:
 It's the wristwatch.

Mia:
 It stopped at the precise time
 the victim was electrocuted.

Mia:
 In other words... 3:05 PM.

Judge:
 Yes, and your point is,
 Ms. Fey...?

Mia:
 My point is this!

Mia:
 What time was it when the lab
 suffered that power outage due
 to the cable snapping?

Payne:
 Well, according to the
 students' testimony, the
 answer is clear.

Payne:
 It was 2:55 PM...
 Yeeaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!

Mia:
 Would you care to explain to
 the court, Ms. Dahlia
 Hawthorne...

Mia:
 ...what exactly happened
 during this 10 minute
 interval!?

Dahlia:
 ...!

Mia:
 The defense proposes that...

Mia:
 ...it was during this interval
 that the real murderer killed
 Mr. Doug Swallow!

Judge:
 Or-Order! Order in the court!
 What is this all ab--

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Th-This is nonsense!
 The "real murderer"...!?

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Even you can't deny that the
 time between the cable break-
 ing and the electrocution...

Mia:
 ...are completely unaccounted
 for!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Th-Then who was it!?
 Who else are you saying
 could've done it!?

Mia:
 There's only one person
 who could have murdered
 Mr. Swallow.

Mia:
 Only after my client
 had left the scene...

Mia:
 ...was there a window of
 opportunity for the real
 killer!

Judge:
 Ms. Fey.

Judge:
 Is the defense ready to indict
 someone as this "real killer"?

Mia:
 (It's finally time.)

Mia:
 (This is the moment I've
 been waiting for.)

Mia:
 Yes, Your Honor.
 We are ready.

Judge:
 Very well.
 But remember!

Judge:
 If you accuse the wrong
 person, you will be penalized.

Judge:
 Think very carefully before
 you speak, Ms. Fey.

Judge:
 Now then, Ms. Fey.
 Let's have it.
 Who is the "real killer"!?

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 It could only have been you,
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Dahlia:
 Waaaaah!
 H-How... H-How can you...!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Th-The defense is grasping
 at straws!

Mia:
 Ten minutes passed between
 the time the cable broke and
 the time of the electrocution!

Mia:
 What exactly were you
 doing that whole time,
 Ms. Hawthorne?

Mia:
 Were you really listening to
 some music while "cheering
 them both on" as they fought?

Mia:
 I find it hard to believe that
 you didn't lift a finger to
 stop the men "dearest" to you!

Judge:
 Order! Order!
 Ms. Fey!

Judge:
 Wh-What... I mean, why...
 That is to say...

Mia:
 Ms. Hawthorne! I believe you
 did witness the two men
 fighting on that day. However!

Mia:
 After Mr. Wright pushed the
 victim, and subsequently left
 the scene...

Mia:
 ...it was YOU who pushed
 Mr. Swallow to his death
 by your very own hands!

Dahlia:
 AAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Dahlia:
 H-How can you say something
 so mean, Madame Fey...!
 I... I didn't do anything...!

Judge:
 Ms. Fey!
 This is a very serious
 charge you are--

Phoenix:
 *HOLD IT!*

Phoenix:
 Your Honor!
 P-Please, I have something
 I want to say!

Phoenix:
 *achoo*

Judge:
 Y-Y-You!
 Wh-What is it!?

Phoenix:
 Please... Please strike
 everything the defense said
 just now from the record!

Mia:
 What the...!?
 Are you daft!?

Phoenix:
 You're totally wrong,
 Miss Fey!

Phoenix:
 Dollie...
 She...

Phoenix:
 She couldn't do something
 like that!

Judge:
 Mr. Wright!!
 Get back in your seat!

Judge:
 Bailiff!
 Grab that man!

Phoenix:
 Aaaarrgghh... *achoo* *achoo*
 Leave my Dollie alone!
 *achoo* *cough*

 *sigh*
 That boy...

Grossberg:
 He's gotten himself in
 way over his head.

Mia:
 Oh...!
 Mr. Grossberg! You're back!

Grossberg:
 It seems I've arrived just
 in the nick of time.

Grossberg:
 I found the police report
 on that incident in your
 newspaper clipping!

*Police Report added
to the Court Record.*

Mia:
 Thank you so much!
 This is exactly what I was
 hoping for!

Grossberg:
 You'd better take a good
 look at it...

Grossberg:
 It... err... details how you
 came to lose your boyfriend.

Judge:
 Now then, the defense
 has made a very serious
 accusation.

Judge:
 Mr. Payne, what do you have
 to say about this?

Payne:
 W-Well really, Your Honor...
 I... I... That is I...

Dahlia:
 May I interrupt you for
 just a moment,
 Mr. Prosecutor?

Payne:
 Ah, don't you worry, my
 dear. I have this situation
 well in hand.

Dahlia:
 ...
 ...
 *sniffle*

Payne:
 Err, that is I... Um...
 G-G-Go right ahead.

Dahlia:
 Madame Fey, are you
 seriously accusing me of
 killing my sweet Dougie?

Mia:
 Yes. I am.

Mia:
 Not only am I saying you
 murdered Doug Swallow...

Mia:
 ...but you also tried to pin
 the whole thing on your
 current lover, Phoenix Wright!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 I told you that you should
 let me handle this...

Dahlia:
 ...
 ...
 *weep*

Payne:
 Urk. Sorry.
 P-Please go ahead.

Dahlia:
 How can you say that!?
 I'm absolutely devoted to my
 dear Feenie.

Dahlia:
 The notion that I would try
 to frame him is ludicrous!

Dahlia:
 This is all just too much for
 poor little me to bear!!

Grossberg:
 Ah, I believe the girl is
 trying to ask what on Earth
 her motive would be.

Mia:
 (The answer to that lies
 somewhere in this police
 report. It must!)

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 Eight months ago, an incident
 occurred in the basement
 cafeteria of this building.

Mia:
 And then...
 that same day the two of
 them "accidentally" meet...

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 Your Honor.

Mia:
 The defense requests further
 testimony from Ms. Dahlia
 Hawthorne!

Judge:
 F-Further testimony...?
 What about?

Mia:
 About the events of the day
 when she first met the
 defendant, Mr. Phoenix Wright.

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 What could that possibly have
 to do with this case!?

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 The witness claims that she
 has no reason to frame the
 defendant, am I correct?

Mia:
 Well I have evidence that
 suggests that she, in fact,
 had a very good reason!

Judge:
 Very well then, the court
 grants the defense's request.

Judge:
 Young lady.
 Would you mind staying on
 for just a bit longer?

Dahlia:
 Of course not, Mr. Judge.

Mia:
 (Get ready for the battle of
 your life, Dahlia Hawthorne!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- How I Met My Feenie --

(1)
Dahlia:
 I first met my darling Feenie
 eight months ago.

(2)
Dahlia:
 It's like we were destined to
 meet in this very courthouse's
 basement reading room.

(3)
Dahlia:
 The moment our eyes met,
 my heart skipped a beat!

(4)
Dahlia:
 We've been going out ever
 since that fateful day.

(5)
Phoenix:
 We're so lovey-wuvey we
 literally make people sick!
 It's just jealousy, I think...

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Mr. Wright! Do that again and
 you will be held in contempt
 of court!

Mia:
 (And now we enter the final
 act of our little drama!)

Grossberg:
 As we used to say in the days
 of my youth, "Go get her!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- How I Met My Feenie --

(1)
Dahlia:
 I first met my darling Feenie
 eight months ago.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So until that time, you had
      been dating Doug Swallow?

    Dahlia:
      Y-Yes.
      I'm a real fool, I know.

    Dahlia:
      Letting my emotions change
      so quickly...
      I'm ashamed of myself.

    Judge:
      No, no. Not at all!

    Judge:
      Look at me!
      I'm infamous for changing
      my mind!

    Judge:
      My critics have even taken
      to calling me "Judge Fickle"!
      Ho! Ho! Ho!

    Mia:
      (Maybe you should look for
      a different line of work...)

    Grossberg:
      Despite that, however, he
      always, always hands down
      the correct verdict.

    Grossberg:
      That's why some people also
      call him "The Great Judgini".

(2)
Dahlia:
 It's like we were destined to
 meet in this very courthouse's
 basement reading room.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      The courthouse reading room?
      That's a strange place to meet
      the love of your life.

    Dahlia:
      That's not true, Madame Fey.
      After all, Feenie was...

    Dahlia:
      Feenie was not only an art
      student, but he was also
      planning on becoming a lawyer.

    Mia:
      I'm not talking about him.
      I'm talking about you,
      Ms. Hawthorne.

    Mia:
      What was a literature student
      like you doing in a courthouse
      reading room?

    Payne:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Payne:
      This line of questioning is a
      waste of time! It has nothing
      to do with our murder case!

    Judge:
      Ms. Fey, I'm warning you.
      If this has nothing to do
      with Mr. Swallow's case...

    Mia:
      (I have to remember the
      judge is on Dahlia's side.
      I'd better tread carefully...)

    *** Wait and see ***************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Mia, if the judge gets any
    *   angrier, you'll lose the
    *   whole case!)
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (I'll just have to hold my
    *   tongue for the time being.)
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Now then, young lady, please
    *   go on with your testimony.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Tell us about the time you
    *   first met Phoenix Wright.
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Keep pressing **************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   Your Honor, if you'll allow me
    *   some latitude, I think I can
    *   establish relevance.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   Please ask her to continue
    *   on with her testimony!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Very well.
    *   Young lady, I've got a simple
    *   question for you.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   What were you doing downstairs
    *   in the courthouse reading
    *   room?
    *
    * Dahlia:
    *   If it pleases Your Honor,
    *   the answer is simply this.
    *
    * ADD STATEMENT (2b)
    *
    ********************************************

(2b)
Dahlia:
 I had come to this courthouse
 to do some research for a
 paper I was writing.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You were writing a paper?
      On what?

    Dahlia:
      On the relationship between
      modern Senryu poetry and
      the criminal underworld.

    Judge:
      Ho ho ho. That sounds like a
      fascinating research idea.

    Dahlia:
      "Am I getting old?
      Now I've even forgotten
      what I've forgotten..."

    Mia:
      (Again with the mid-life
      crisis stuff!?)

    Grossberg:
      Mia, why did that girl really
      come to this courthouse? Isn't
      that what you wanted to know?

    Grossberg:
      And speaking of forgetting
      things, you haven't forgotten
      the police report, have you?

    Grossberg:
      I went through a lot of
      trouble to get it, m'dear, so
      be sure to read it carefully.

(3)
Dahlia:
 The moment our eyes met,
 my heart skipped a beat!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Hmm... So what was it about
      Mr. Wright that made your
      heart malfunction like that?

    Mia:
      In my personal opinion, he
      just looks like a typical
      snotty-nosed college brat.

    Dahlia:
      Perhaps to a woman your age.
      But to me, Feenie is handsome!

    Mia:
      Perhaps to you, Ms. Hawthorne.
      But to the rest of the planet,
      he's a dime a dozen.

    Payne:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Payne:
      Love is a mysterious thing,
      and I object to this line of
      questioning!

    Payne:
      If you were to look at my wife
      for example, you might all
      be shocked!

    Judge:
      He's telling the truth.
      It was truly, truly shocking.

    Dahlia:
      "Beautiful mushroom,
      growing tall in the darkness.
      It comes from cow dung."

    Dahlia:
      That's the poem that best
      describes how I feel about my
      Feenie.

(4)
Dahlia:
 We've been going out ever
 since that fateful day.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Were there any bad feelings
      between you and Mr. Swallow?

    Dahlia:
      No, none at all.
      We parted on very good terms.

    Mia:
      But that can't be!

    Payne:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Payne:
      Our investigation also shows
      that it was a clean breakup.

    Mia:
      Huh...
      Are you... Are you sure?

    Payne:
      Yes, it seems that they both
      wanted it that way.

    Mia:
      (So the victim wanted to
      break up with her...?)

    *** Press further **************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   So you're saying that
    *   Mr. Swallow also wanted
    *   to break up with you?
    *
    * Dahlia:
    *   W-Well, y-you see...
    *
    * Payne:
    *   *OBJECTION!*
    *
    * Payne:
    *   What a cruel thing to ask a
    *   lovely young lady like this!
    *
    * Payne:
    *   ...
    *   By the way, I have never ONCE
    *   considered leaving MY wife!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   No one cares, Mr. Payne.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (She didn't deny it...
    *   That must mean...)
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Doug Swallow must have
    *   seen through her little act.)
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (He must have gotten a
    *   glimpse of her true nature.)
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Back off *******************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (What did the victim think
    *   of Dahlia Hawthorne...?)
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (Well, I guess I don't have
    *   to think about that now...)
    *
    ********************************************

--------------------------------------------

Grossberg:
 Listen to me, Mia.
 That woman has the judge in
 the palm of her hand, you see.

Grossberg:
 So the only way to discredit
 her is to find a contradiction
 in her testimony!

*Present Police Report* at (2b)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Ms. Hawthorne, you weren't
 here because of your research
 paper, were you?

Mia:
 Didn't you actually come here
 for a much more important
 reason?

Dahlia:
 ...!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Wh-What is the meaning of
 that cocky smile on your face,
 Ms. Fey!?

Mia:
 Eight months ago, right here
 in this very courthouse,
 there was another tragedy.

Payne:
 Another tragedy...?

Judge:
 Do you mean the incident
 in which an attorney was
 poisoned?

Dahlia:
 ...

Mia:
 The name of the suspect
 in that incident is listed
 here in this report.

Mia:
 And that name is...
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Payne:
 What!?

Judge:
 D-Dahlia H-Hawthorne!?

Mia:
 Yes! The sweetie-pie of
 everyone's eye, Ms. Dahlia
 Hawthorne!

Mia:
 She was the prime suspect
 in a criminal case just eight
 months ago!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 ...
 Th-This is unbelievable!

Judge:
 It's true then...
 The loveliest rose can hide
 the cruelest thorn...

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Ms. Fey!
 Th-That's not fair!

Payne:
 You can't slander my witness
 with an unrelated case!

Dahlia:
 Umm...

Payne:
 I, Winston Payne, will not
 allow it!

Dahlia:
 Mr. Prosecutor...
 I believe I was speaking.

Payne:
 Urk. P-Pardon me...
 G-Go right ahead...

Dahlia:
 It's true that about
 eight months ago...

Dahlia:
 ...the police expressed some
 interest in me.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Expressed some interest, huh?

Dahlia:
 Mr. Judge, sir... I know I'm
 under oath, so I'll tell you
 the absolute truth.

Dahlia:
 I did not commit the crime
 that occurred during that
 incident eight months ago.

Judge:
 I see...

Mia:
 (OK... I've tied the
 two crimes together!)

Mia:
 (Now I've just got to stay on
 the offensive!)

Grossberg:
 Well done, Mia!

Grossberg:
 Ooohhh...
 You've really lit a fire in my
 heart... And my buttocks!

Grossberg:
 I can hardly tell which is
 more inflamed, my spirit...
 or my hemorrhoids!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Poisoning --

(1)
Dahlia:
 I met the lawyer who was
 poisoned to discuss something
 in the cafeteria that day.

(2)
Dahlia:
 I left my seat for just a
 moment, and that's when
 it happened!

(3)
Dahlia:
 From what I heard, it was
 a liquid poison that is lethal
 at just 2 teaspoons.

(4)
Dahlia:
 Not only that, I heard it was
 a very special kind of poison.

(5)
Dahlia:
 So you see, I'm innocent!
 I wouldn't even know where
 to get a poison like that!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...
 So that's what happened
 here eight months ago.

Payne:
 However, as you've heard from
 the witness's testimony, she
 had nothing to do with it.

Payne:
 I think the defense is
 just about out of tricks...

Mia:
 I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Payne.

Mia:
 But I'm afraid the defense has
 many more tricks up its
 sleeve today.

Mia:
 And I'll be sure to show them
 to you before the end of this
 cross-examination!

Payne:
 Unnggh!

Payne:
 What the...!?
 Why does the defense
 suddenly feel stronger...?

Grossberg:
 Aha! Mia!
 You're glowing with a true
 lawyer's aura, m'dear!

Grossberg:
 That proud posture and
 self-confidence!
 Absolutely smashing!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Poisoning --

(1)
Dahlia:
 I met the lawyer who was
 poisoned to discuss something
 in the cafeteria that day.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      What were you talking about
      with the defense attorney?

    Dahlia:
      Well I... I'm sorry, but
      that's confidential.

    Judge:
      According to the report,
      you were being interviewed
      regarding another case.

    Dahlia:
      The lawyer that was killed...

    Dahlia:
      He said he wanted to talk
      about an incident I was caught
      up in when I was younger.

    Mia:
      Why don't you tell us all
      what that incident was?

    Payne:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Payne:
      That has absolutely nothing
      at all to do with this case!

    Judge:
      Objection sustained.
      The defense's question is
      stricken from the record.

    Mia:
      You get involved in a lot of
      "incidents", don't you,
      Ms. Hawthorne?

    Dahlia:
      Well, I guess I was just
      born under a bad sign.

    Phoenix:
      Don't worry, Dollie!
      I'll protect you!

    Judge:
      You heard the man.
      Now THAT is true love,
      young lady!

    Dahlia:
      Oh, Feenie...
      Please...

    Mia:
      (*gag* Those two really are
      making me ill. Albeit for
      decidedly different reasons.)

(2)
Dahlia:
 I left my seat for just a
 moment, and that's when
 it happened!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      How long were you gone?

    Dahlia:
      I've already answered all
      these questions for the
      police...

    Dahlia:
      But if you must know, maybe
      10 or 20 minutes...

    Mia:
      And where were you during
      that stretch of time?
      Using the toilet?

    Phoenix:
      What are you SAYING,
      Miss Fey!?

    Phoenix:
      Toilet!?
      My perfect little Dollie
      doesn't poop!

    Judge:
      You heard the defendant,
      Ms. Fey.
      Better luck next time.

    Dahlia:
      Oh, Feenie...
      Please...

    Payne:
      The police have already
      looked into this whole matter.

    Payne:
      This line of questioning is
      nothing but a waste of the
      court's time!

    Judge:
      Objection sustained.
      Ms. Hawthorne, please
      continue with your testimony.

(3)
Dahlia:
 From what I heard, it was
 a liquid poison that is lethal
 at just 2 teaspoons.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      About how much liquid is
      2 teaspoons?

    Judge:
      Hmm, well let me see...

    Judge:
      My bottle of eyedrops says
      it's 1/2 fluid ounce... Which
      is equal to 3 teaspoons...

    Mia:
      (So it's about two-thirds
      of that amount, huh...)

    Dahlia:
      The poison was found in the
      lawyer's mug of coffee.

    Dahlia:
      It must have been after I
      left the table...

    Dahlia:
      Someone must have quietly
      slipped it in there.

(4)
Dahlia:
 Not only that, I heard it was
 a very special kind of poison.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      A "special kind of poison"?
      How so?

    Dahlia:
      Well, I heard that it's
      almost impossible to detect.

    Judge:
      Oh? And where would something
      like that come from...?

    Dahlia:
      I'm sorry... All I know is
      what I overheard the
      policemen saying.

    Dahlia:
      They said something about
      using advanced chemical
      processes to purify it...

    Judge:
      "Chemical processes"...?
      Well, well... That's quite...

    Judge:
      ...impressive.
      Most impressive...

    Mia:
      (The better question is, how
      did the criminal get something
      like that?)

(5)
Dahlia:
 So you see, I'm innocent!
 I wouldn't even know where
 to get a poison like that!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      And that's the reason they
      didn't arrest you?

    Mia:
      Because no one could show
      how you could've gotten the
      poison?

    Dahlia:
      I think that's a good enough
      reason, Madame Fey.

    Payne:
      She's right. And I think we've
      all had enough of Ms. Fey's
      questions!

    Judge:
      Hmm...

--------------------------------------------

Grossberg:
 So in essence, the main reason
 Ms. Hawthorne was never
 arrested for this crime...

Grossberg:
 ...was because no one could
 show how she could have
 obtained the poison.

Mia:
 Then all we have to do is find
 a way to establish how she
 could've gotten some, right?

Mia:
 (Great... Now just how did a
 lit. student get a hold of
 poison, of all things...?)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Doug Swallow profile* at (5)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 You wouldn't know how
 to get that kind of poison?
 I don't believe you.

Dahlia:
 What...!?

Mia:
 In fact, you had easy
 access to that kind of
 poison, didn't you?

Mia:
 At your boyfriend's lab!

Judge:
 B-Boyfriend!?
 You mean the victim,
 Doug Swallow!?

Mia:
 That's right. Up until eight
 months ago, Ms. Hawthorne
 was dating Mr. Swallow.

Mia:
 And if you'll recall,
 Mr. Swallow was a Pharmacology
 student at Ivy University.

Payne:
 Ph-Ph-Pharmacology...

Mia:
 His laboratory contained
 highly advanced chemistry
 equipment.

Mia:
 In fact, without such
 equipment...

Mia:
 ...the culprit could never
 have obtained such a rare
 and special poison!

Dahlia:
 ...!

Mia:
 Well, Ms. Hawthorne?
 It seems you had access to
 such a poison after all.

Mia:
 And then, it was a matter of
 slipping it into the victim's
 coffee when he wasn't looking.

Mia:
 The only person who could've
 done that was the one sitting
 at his very table -- you!

Dahlia:
 NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 C-C-Could it be...!?

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Th-That's nothing but a
 baseless accus--

Dahlia:
 May I say something, Madame
 Fey?

Mia:
 What is it, Ms. Hawthorne?

Dahlia:
 The amount of poison in
 the coffee was 2 teaspoons,
 correct?

Dahlia:
 In order to carry that much
 liquid... you would need some
 kind of container.

Judge:
 Well, yes... That's true.

Dahlia:
 I was searched immediately
 after the incident took place.

Payne:
 Quite true. In fact the
 entire courthouse was
 turned upside down.

Dahlia:
 But... they didn't find a
 suspicious container
 anywhere, did they?

Mia:
 (She's right...
 They even mentioned that
 in the report!)

Mia:
 W-Well, you could've easily
 gotten rid of something that
 small!

Dahlia:
 Excuse me, Madame, but this
 is a court of law!

Dahlia:
 If you're saying I threw the
 poison container away...

Dahlia:
 ...I think you need to show
 some kind of proof!

Mia:
 P-Proof...!?
 (She got me good with that!)

Judge:
 Provide some evidence or
 I'll have to disallow this
 line of questioning, Ms. Fey!

Grossberg:
 Unless we can come up
 with some evidence, we're
 going to lose this lead!

Mia:
 (The police conducted a full
 body search of Dahlia and of
 the entire courthouse.)

Mia:
 (And yet the container holding
 the poison disappeared right
 after the crime occurred...)

Judge:
 If you're going to accuse the
 young lady of committing the
 murder...

Judge:
 ...then where is the container
 the poison was carried in?
 What happened to it?

*Present Dahlia's Present or Phoenix Wright profile*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 You were forced to get
 rid of the container in a
 hurry, weren't you?

Mia:
 And that's why you passed
 it on to someone that had
 nothing to do with the case!

Mia:
 Someone that you knew
 wouldn't be searched!

Judge:
 W-Who is this person!?

Mia:
 Mr. Phoenix Wright, of course.

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 So the defendant was this
 witness's accomplice?

Mia:
 Of course not.

Mia:
 She gave the poison to
 him disguised as... a present.

Dahlia:
 Wh-What...!?
 B-But...
 But that's...!

Judge:
 Hmm... That's a charming
 little necklace.

Judge:
 Is this... a little bottle?
 It's really quite cute.

Judge:
 So what about it?
 What does it mean, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 The day that the witness met
 and fell for Mr. Phoenix
 Wright was eight months ago...

Mia:
 August 27th.
 The very same day as the
 poisoning incident.

Mia:
 Under the pretense of love,
 the witness gave my client
 a present.

Mia:
 All for the purpose of hiding
 the one piece of evidence
 that would give her away!

Judge:
 Whaaat!?
 Are you saying there's a
 deadly poison in here!?

Mia:
 No, there's no longer any
 poison in that bottle.

Mia:
 However!

Mia:
 I'm certain if the crime lab
 were to analyze it, they
 would find a trace amount!

Dahlia:
 .........

Dahlia:
 NOOOOOOOOOO!!
 WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Judge:
 Or-Order! Order in the court!
 Ahh, umm...

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 On behalf of Dollie, I object!

Payne:
 M-Mr. Wright!
 Control yourself!

Phoenix:
 I-I won't let you bully
 her like this...!

Judge:
 Mr. Wright!
 I thought I told you to stay
 in your seat!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright... Why?

Mia:
 Why are you going through so
 much trouble to protect her?

Phoenix:
 Why?

Phoenix:
 B-Because...!
 Because I'm madly in
 love with her!

...........

Judge:
 Hmmm, hmmmm...

Judge:
 "Madly in love"... I haven't
 heard anyone say that in
 a long time...

Mia:
 Mr. Wright...
 Have you ever thought
 about this...

Mia:
 Why exactly would a woman
 like Dahlia Hawthorne want
 to date you anyway?

Phoenix:
 W-Well...
 I guess she must be madly
 in love with me too...

Mia:
 (Mr. Wright... Please!
 Open your eyes...!)

Mia:
 At this point in the trial,
 I think it should be obvious
 to everyone.

Mia:
 The real reason that Dahlia
 Hawthorne is dating you is...

*** she's madly in love with you. **********
*
* Mia:
*   Naturally it's because she
*   has fallen madly in love with
*   you too!
*
* Phoenix:
*   See? Just like I told you!
*
* Grossberg:
*   M-M-Mia!
*   Are you thinking clearly!?
*
* Grossberg:
*   Th-That flies in the face of
*   everything we've learned up
*   to this point!
*
* Mia:
*   I-I'm sorry!
*   I don't know why I even said
*   that...
*
* Mia:
*   *sigh* I guess it's because
*   I just like the sound of that
*   phrase, "madly in love"...
*
* Judge:
*   Ms. Fey.
*
* Judge:
*   You can't remain a starry-eyed

********************************************

Mia:
 Dahlia Hawthorne was not
 and is not madly in love
 with you.

Mia:
 The only think she's after is
 that bottle necklace you love
 to wear around your neck!

Phoenix:
 My n-necklace...?

Mia:
 Back there in the waiting
 room, you said it yourself...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 Yeah, but she's so shy. Every
 time I see her, she always
 says the same thing to me.

Phoenix:
 "Please give it back now."

Grossberg:
 What a strange girl, asking
 for a present back like
 that...

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 For Dahlia Hawthorne, that
 necklace is irrefutable
 evidence of her crime.

Mia:
 That's why she absolutely
 had to get it back.

Phoenix:
 Y-You're lying!

Mia:
 But you never gave it
 back to her.

Mia:
 And to make things worse for
 her, you insisted on showing
 it to everyone you met.

Mia:
 That's why she......

Phoenix:
 ...I don't......
 I don't believe you...

Phoenix:
 NOOO!! Th-That's a LIE!!
 Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

Mia:
 Eeeeeek!!

? ? ?:
 M-Mia!
 Are you alright!?

 Ah! The defendant!
 He-He's getting away!

? ? ?:
 Bailiff! Hurry!
 After him!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grossberg:
 Mia! Mia!
 Are you alright!?

Mia:
 Y-Yes, I-I think so...

Grossberg:
 That boy...!
 He went completely insane!

Mia:
 Where... Where's Mr. Wright?

Grossberg:
 It looks like the bailiff
 caught him, so he should be
 brought back here soon.

Mia:
 Thank goodness...
 ...
 Oh no!

Grossberg:
 What is it!?

Mia:
 The bottle necklace...!
 Ms. Hawthorne's "present"...!

Mia:
 It's gone...!

Grossberg:
 Whaaaaat...!
 That's terrible!!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright must have grabbed
 it when he slammed into me!

Grossberg:
 Foolish boy...!
 That's the only thing that
 could have saved him...

Grossberg:
 What in blazes are we supposed
 to do noooow!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Mr. Wright!! This sort of
 behavior is unprecedented in
 the history of this court!
</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
Phoenix:
 I-I'm sorry...

Payne:
 I'm afraid that your apology
 is not enough!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright!

Mia:
 What did you do with the
 bottle necklace?

Phoenix:
 F-Forgive me...
 I... I... I'm sorry...

Mia:
 It's OK.
 Just give back the necklace.

Phoenix:
 ...
 I ate it.

Mia:
 ...
 You what?

Judge:
 You... You...
 You ate it...?

Phoenix:
 It was too big to swallow,
 so I had to chew it into
 little bits first, but yeah...

Phoenix:
 ...Ugh.
 Aaaaaaaaahhhh!

Mia:
 What the...?

Payne:
 Wha--...?

Judge:
 What is he doing now!?

Mia:
 *HOLD IT!*

Mia:
 Y-Your Honor!!
 You've got to stop the trial!!

Mia:
 Mr. Wright! Mr. Wright!
 Are you feeling OK!?
 Does your stomach hurt!?

Mia:
 That bottle you swallowed
 may have had some poison
 left in it!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Ehee hee...
 Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee...

Payne:
 It seems the defendant has
 proven the prosecution's
 case for us.

Payne:
 Clearly that bottle did not
 contain a deadly poison!

Mia:
 H-How can you be so sure!?

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee...
 I think that's obvious...

Payne:
 As you can see, the
 defendant is still very
 much alive.

Payne:
 As for the poison? More like a
 fledgling defense attorney's
 overactive imagination!

Judge:
 Hmm...
 So it would seem.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 No!
 There must be some mistake!

Mia:
 The bottle must not have
 had any poison left in it!

Mia:
 Either that or the poison
 must have lost its
 potency...

Payne:
 There, there...
 It's alright, rookie.

Payne:
 Trusting your client is the
 most noble thing a defense
 attorney can do.

Payne:
 And it's heartwarming to see
 that you placed this much
 faith in Mr. Wright.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Payne:
 But that's how it is for us
 on the prosecution side, too!

Payne:
 For example, I would trust
 the witness, Ms. Hawthorne,
 with my very life!

Payne:
 Which is why I can state that
 your assessment of her is
 completely wrong!

Judge:
 That's enough!

Judge:
 Unfortunately, Ms. Fey,
 I cannot accept your
 explanation of the events.

Mia:
 B-But why!?

Judge:
 This may be impossible for
 a beginner like you to
 understand...

Judge:
 ...but in a court of law,
 evidence is everything.

Mia:
 Unngggh!

Mia:
 (Even though I've proven so
 much, is she going to get
 away with everything...?)

Judge:
 Well, now that the suspicion
 surrounding Ms. Hawthorne
 has been cleared up...

Judge:
 I would like to proceed
 with the trial.

Phoenix:
 *HOLD IT!*

Mia:
 M...

Mia:
 Mr. Wright!

Phoenix:
 I'm sorry, Miss Fey.
 It totally slipped my mind.

Phoenix:
 I'm really, really sorry...

Phoenix:
 I know you believed in me,
 and I feel like I really let
 you down.

Mia:
 Mr. Wright...
 What are you trying to say?

Phoenix:
 Um...
 There's something I forgot
 to tell you.

Judge:
 What is it!?

Phoenix:
 That day...
 The day I met Doug Swallow...

--------------------------------------------

 That girl...
 You shouldn't see her anymore.

 Hey!
 It's none of your business!

 I'm telling you for your sake.
 If you continue to see her,
 it's going to be bad news.

 Y-You're lying!

 Just listen to me.
 There's something you need
 to know about that girl... ...

Swallow:
 Last night, someone stole
 some poison from our lab.

Phoenix:
 P-Poison...?

Swallow:
 The same thing happened
 eight months ago. A drug
 sample was stolen.

Swallow:
 She came to the lab that
 time, too.

Swallow:
 It could only have been her!
 That girl is a thief!

Phoenix:
 Stop it!

Phoenix:
 D-Don't talk about her like
 that!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 Is it true?
 Did he really say that?

Payne:
 Th-That's ridiculous!

Phoenix:
 There's one more thing...
 After I pushed him that day...

Phoenix:
 I got worried and came
 back to have a look.

Phoenix:
 And she was there...
 Dollie was right there.

Phoenix:
 She was crouched down
 next to him...

Mia:
 What!?

Phoenix:
 She told me not to ever
 tell anyone about it, but...

Phoenix:
 I'm sorry, Dollie!

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Y-Your Honor!
 This is...
 The defendant is...

Phoenix:
 Miss Fey! You tell them!

Phoenix:
 D-Dollie didn't do it...
 Sh-She's innocent!

Mia:
 (So Dahlia stole poison eight
 months ago too, huh...)

Mia:
 (If you put that together
 with Mr. Wright's testimony...)

Mia:
 (...then there's only one
 possible conclusion!)

Mia:
 The defense believes that
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne...

Mia:
 ...stole some poison on the
 night before she killed Doug
 Swallow.

Judge:
 The night before...!?

Mia:
 Naturally, her motive for
 stealing it was to kill
 someone!

Phoenix:
 Miss Fey...

Judge:
 If you're so certain of your
 theory, then let me ask you
 this.

Mia:
 (Mia, this is your last
 chance. Think carefully
 now...)

Mia:
 (There's something that
 she desperately wanted
 to get back... Therefore...)

Judge:
 Exactly who was Ms. Dahlia
 Hawthorne planning to kill?

*Present Phoenix Wright profile*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 There was one person that was
 standing squarely in
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne's way...

Mia:
 And that person was...
 Mr. Phoenix Wright!

Phoenix:
 ...
 M-M-M-M-M-M-Meeee!?

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Th-That's preposterous!!

Payne:
 After all, it was Doug Swallow
 that was murdered!

Mia:
 Well, it's true that that's
 how things worked out...

Mia:
 But, let's remember that
 Mr. Swallow died of
 electrocution, not poison.

Mia:
 The person that Ms. Hawthorne
 was planning to poison was in
 fact...

Mia:
 You, Phoenix Wright.
 There's no one else
 that it could be.

Judge:
 B-But how can that be!?
 I-I thought Mr. Wright and
 Ms. Hawthorne were in love!

Mia:
 (Poor Mr. Wright...
 This must be killing him...)

Mia:
 (Hang in there... I'll bring
 her to justice... I swear it!)

Mia:
 As I said before, the only
 thing Ms. Hawthorne truly
 cared about was...

Mia:
 ...the one piece of evidence
 linking her to that incident
 eight months ago.

Mia:
 That's right.
 The bottle necklace.
 That's all she cared about.

Judge:
 But even so...
 Why... Why would she go
 so far as to murder him!?

Mia:
 Eight months ago, just after
 the fall of that attorney in
 the basement cafeteria...

Mia:
 Dahlia Hawthorne could
 think of only one thing.

Mia:
 How to get rid of the bottle
 necklace as quickly as
 possible!

Phoenix:
 N-No... It-It can't be...

Mia:
 It was a pretty good move she
 made, too. The evidence was
 missing for a long time.

Mia:
 But there was just one
 big problem.

Mia:
 Although she got him to hide
 the evidence, Mr. Wright
 refused to return it to her.

Mia:
 To him, the tiny little bottle
 was a cherished treasure.

Mia:
 He even showed it to
 everyone he met!

Judge:
 Y-You mean...
 TH-THAT'S why she tried to
 kill Mr. Wright...?

Mia:
 Correct, Your Honor.
 It was to retrieve that piece
 of evidence.

Phoenix:
 ...
 Th-Th-Th...

Phoenix:
 That can't be trueeeeeeeee!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dahlia:
 "Feenie"...
 What a joke you are.

Dahlia:
 Honestly, how can any woman
 ever count on you for
 anything?

Dahlia:
 I even told you time and time
 again to keep your trap shut
 about me and that necklace.

Dahlia:
 ...You disgust me!

Judge:
 M-Ms. Hawthorne...?

Mia:
 It appears that this
 trial will be coming
 to an end soon...

Dahlia:
 Fine. I can tell you plan on
 making me into a criminal
 no matter what I say!

Mia:
 You ARE a criminal,
 Ms. Hawthorne!

Dahlia:
 We'll see about that.
 But first, where's your
 evidence?

Dahlia:
 It seems your sniveling
 little crybaby of a client has
 eaten the bottle as a snack.

Mia:
 Urk...!
 W-Well, umm...

Dahlia:
 Hey! Old man!
 Are you senile or something!?

Dahlia:
 Why don't you say something
 instead of sitting there with
 that dumb look on your face!

Judge:
 M-M-Ms. Hawthorne!
 What's happened to you...!?

Dahlia:
 Hmph!
 Are you really that shocked?

Dahlia:
 ...

Dahlia:
 Or do you prefer me...
 this way, Mr. Judge?

Judge:
 Nnnnggghh...!

Dahlia:
 With absolutely no proof, you
 treat a voluntary witness
 like she's a mass-murderer...

Dahlia:
 Well, I have nothing more
 to say. I'll be heading home
 now, if you don't mind.

Judge:
 B-But y-you're not finished...

Dahlia:
 Fine!
 Then ask this nasty old
 hag to finish up already!

Mia:
 *HOLD IT!*

Mia:
 (I can't let her get away
 this time!)

Grossberg:
 Stop, Mia!

Grossberg:
 If you keep on pushing
 without any evidence...

Grossberg:
 ...you could pay the
 ultimate price as a lawyer!

Mia:
 The ultimate price...?

Judge:
 You'd be forced to take off
 your attorney's badge forever,
 I'm afraid.

Mia:
 N-No...!

Dahlia:
 You'd better think it over
 carefully, Ms. Fey...
 Or should I say, Ms. Gray.

Judge:
 Well, Ms. Fey?

Judge:
 Can you provide evidence
 that would establish her guilt
 once and for all?

Mia:
 (If I mess up here, my
 career as a lawyer is over!)

Mia:
 (But to be honest... at this
 point I don't have any
 evidence that's well-founded.)

Mia:
 (Even so...)

Mia:
 (I'd rather lose my attorney's
 badge than let her get
 away with murder!)

Mia:
 Your Honor!
 The defense would like
 to present proof!

Payne:
 Im-Impossible!
 You can't possibly...

Dahlia:
 Stupid woman!

Judge:
 It is the opinion of the court
 that there has already been
 enough discussion.

Judge:
 Therefore, I will allow only
 one piece of evidence to
 be presented.

Mia:
 J-Just one!?

Judge:
 If you are unable to
 establish her guilt...

Judge:
 ...then I'm afraid that a very
 harsh verdict will immediately
 be handed down on Mr. Wright.

Mia:
 I understand, Your Honor.

Dahlia:
 I can just imagine the
 headlines for tomorrow's
 newspaper.

Dahlia:
 Up-and-coming lawyer
 plummets to Earth before she
 gets the chance to soar...

Mia:
 (She was planning to
 poison Mr. Wright...)

Mia:
 (If that's the case, then
 the poison was probably
 in there!)

Judge:
 Well then, Ms. Fey.
 Please present your evidence.

Judge:
 Show to this court irrefutable
 proof that Ms. Hawthorne was
 planning to poison Mr. Wright!

xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

x Mia:
x   *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Judge:
x   Ms. Fey...!
x   After all that thinking, THIS
x   is your best answer!?
x
x Grossberg:
x   C-Couldn't you have
x   tried a little bit harder...?
x
x Mia:
x   Please wait, Your Honor!
x   I just... made a mistake!
x
x Judge:
x   Very well.
x   But even I have my limits!
x
x RETURN TO QUESTION
x
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Present Coldkiller X*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Here it is, Your Honor!
 The evidence that will prove
 her guilt once and for all.

Judge:
 Coldkiller X...
 Phoenix Wright's beloved
 cold medicine.

Payne:
 Hee, hee, hee, hee...
 Does our rookie defense
 attorney have a bit of a cold?

Mia:
 If I did, I still wouldn't
 take this cold medicine.

Mia:
 After all...
 It's been poisoned.

Judge:
 Wh-What!?

Mia:
 Remember what the defendant
 said in his testimony.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 But I lost my bottle of it
 around lunchtime on the day
 of the accident.

Phoenix:
 I always eat with Dollie...
 Just the two of us.

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 She was the one who took
 his bottle of Coldkiller X.

Mia:
 Then she poisoned it,
 knowing that Mr. Wright was
 going to take some.

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 Now you're really grasping
 at straws!

Payne:
 After all, it was the victim,
 Doug Swallow, that was
 holding the medicine.

Mia:
 I would like the court to
 recall the crime that happened
 here eight months ago.

Mia:
 Where did Ms. Hawthorne
 hide the evidence?

Judge:
 Huh?
 What are you talking about?

Mia:
 Eight months ago,
 the poison was hidden
 in her bottle necklace...

Mia:
 ...which she then gave to
 someone else for
 safekeeping.

Mia:
 Someone she had accidentally
 run into in the reading room.
 My client, Mr. Phoenix Wright!

Mia:
 Yes, that's right...
 She did the same thing
 this time as well.

Mia:
 After shoving the victim,
 Mr. Phoenix Wright left
 the scene of the crime.

Mia:
 That is when the murderer,
 Dahlia Hawthorne, appeared.

Mia:
 With her, she was carrying
 the poisoned bottle of
 Coldkiller X.

Mia:
 This, of course, was so she
 could carry out her plan to
 murder Mr. Wright.

Judge:
 Hmm, I believe she did testify
 that she was going to meet
 with the defendant.

Mia:
 Yes, and she heard and saw
 everything that happened
 at the scene of the crime.

Mia:
 Including what the defendant
 and victim were arguing about,
 and the cut electrical cable.

 That's when she realized,
 "I can't allow Doug
 Swallow to live!"

Mia:
 She used the severed
 electrical cable to silence
 him forever.

Mia:
 Unfortunately for her,
 this is when the problem
 occurred.

Mia:
 Mr. Wright, who she thought
 had left the scene, came back
 to check on the victim.

Mia:
 And on top of that, because
 of the power outage, some
 students showed up as well.

Mia:
 It's hardly any wonder that
 she was, as she put it,
 in a state of panic.

Mia:
 Recall that she was carrying
 that bottle of poisoned cold
 medicine.

Mia:
 She must have thought,
 "What if they search me like
 they did eight months ago?"

Payne:
 E-Eight months ago...?

Mia:
 Yes, she disposed of the
 evidence exactly the same
 way as she did back then!

Mia:
 She had someone else hold it!
 In this case... Doug Swallow!

--------------------------------------------

 ............

Dahlia:
 Oh come on now, everyone.
 Surely you aren't fooled,
 are you?

Dahlia:
 This stupid woman!
 She's nothing but a
 filthy, stinking liar!

Dahlia:
 Right, Mr. Prosecutor...?

Payne:
 Huh...!?

Payne:
 Y-Yes...
 Th-That's exactly right.
 It's just pure desperation!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Hmm... I wonder which one
 of us is the desperate one?

Mia:
 So, Ms. Hawthorne.

Mia:
 This cold medicine...
 I wonder if you wouldn't
 mind taking some?

Dahlia:
 ...!?

Mia:
 Well, Mr. Wright ate that
 necklace of yours, right?

Mia:
 Now it's your turn to
 prove your innocence.
 What do you say?

Dahlia:
 ...!

Mia:
 If I'm just a filthy, stinking
 liar, then there's no need
 to worry.

Mia:
 So come on! Show us!
 I dare you to take some of
 this medicine right now!

Dahlia:
 ...

Dahlia:
 ...Grr... Nngghh... Hnnn...

Dahlia:
 MIA FEY...!
 MIA... FEYYYY...!!

Dahlia:
 Do. You. Think. You've. Won?
 Well!? Do you, Mia Fey?

Mia:
 ...!

Dahlia:
 Heh... Heh... Heh... Heheh...
 That's. Just. Fine!

Dahlia:
 For the time being...

Dahlia:
 For the time being,
 victory is yours.

Mia:
 "For the time being"?

Dahlia:
 Well... I have a very long
 memory, you know.

Dahlia:
 You and I will meet again...
 I'm certain of it.

Mia:
 ...?

Dahlia:
 Well then, Mr. Judge...
 I'll see you later too, OK?

Judge:
 Huh...!?
 Err, why, um...
 Y-Yes...

Dahlia:
 I'm going to go spend a
 little quality time with the
 men in blue now.

Dahlia:
 I wish you all the best.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (Whew...)

Mia:
 (It's finally all over.)

Payne:
 *OBJECTION!*

Payne:
 I...
 I refuse to accept this!

Payne:
 The defense hasn't shown a
 scrap of evidence to support
 their outrageous claim!

Judge:
 B-But even so, your witness
 seems to have accepted it...

Payne:
 I don't care!!
 I'm Winston Payne!

Payne:
 And I don't believe one
 word that this rookie lawyer
 has said!

Mia:
 Well then, Mr. Payne,
 let me ask you this.

Payne:
 Y-Yes!?

Mia:
 Would you care to try
 this cold medicine?

Payne:
 WHAT!?

Mia:
 Just a little earlier, I
 could've sworn you said...

--------------------------------------------

Payne:
 There, there...
 It's alright, rookie.

Payne:
 For example, I would trust
 the witness, Ms. Hawthorne,
 with my very life!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 So, if she's so trustworthy...

Mia:
 ...then I'm sure there
 couldn't possibly be any
 poison in here, right?

Payne:
 Err... Well... Ummm...
 You see... Umm... Y-Yes...

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 ...And here comes the
 backpedal!

Mia:
 Come on now, "Rookie Killer"!
 Show this rookie how it's
 done!

Mia:
 How much trust do you
 really have for this woman?

Mia:
 Are you willing to bet
 your life!?

Payne:
 Gggg... Nnngh... Unnngggggh...

Payne:
 NNNNNNYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Payne:
 M-M-My HAAAAAAAAAAIIIIRRR!!
 IT-IT-IT'S FLYYYYYIIIIIIIING
 OOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!

Payne:
 MY BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL HAIR!!
 NOOOOOOO!!!
 NOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Payne:
 WAAAAAHAAAAWAAAAHAAAA
 NO-NO-NO-NO-No-No-no-no
 noooooooooooooooooooooo...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Umm, Mr. Payne?
 About Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne...?

Payne:
 Y-Y-Yes, Your Honor!
 I'll file papers for her
 immediate arrest...

Judge:
 Hmmm...
 Tragic... but not surprising.

Judge:
 I knew there was something
 suspicious about her from
 the very beginning!

Mia:
 (Don't lie! Just admit you
 were wrong!)

Judge:
 By the way, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 Y-Yes, Your Honor?

Judge:
 You said earlier that you and
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne knew
 each other...?

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 Your Honor...
 How we knew each other had
 nothing to do with this case.

Judge:
 Hmmm...
 Very well...

Judge:
 Err, Mr. Payne.

Payne:
 This can't be happening!
 It's a nightmare! It's like
 losing to my daughter!

Judge:
 ...It appears Mr. Payne has
 lost his spirit along with his
 hair.

Judge:
 Does the defendant have
 anything further to say?

Phoenix:
 It-It can't be true...
 My... Dear... Dollie...
 *achoo*

Judge:
 Hmm... Very well then...

Judge:
 I believe I am ready to
 pass judgment and bring
 this trial to an end.

Judge:
 The court finds the
 defendant, Phoenix Wright...

* N O T   G U I L T Y *

Judge:
 This court is adjourned!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

April 11, 3:16 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3

Grossberg:
 Mia!
 You were wonderful in there!

Mia:
 Thank you for everything,
 Mr. Grossberg.

Grossberg:
 During the verdict, I thought
 my hemorrhoids were going
 to explode like Mt. Vesuvius!

Mia:
 Umm, Mr. Grossberg...
 Do you, um, maybe think you
 could stop talking about them?

Grossberg:
 Hmph! That's rather rude.

Grossberg:
 Anyway, this case
 really made me think.

Grossberg:
 What does it really mean to
 have a relationship of mutual
 trust with the client?

Grossberg:
 Perhaps it is we veteran
 lawyers who have lost
 sight of this.

Phoenix:
 ...

Mia:
 Oh! Mr. Wright...!
 Congratulations!

Phoenix:
 Th-Thanks...
 Um, you know...
 I was thinking...

Mia:
 Go on...

Phoenix:
 The Dollie that I saw up there
 on the witness stand...

Phoenix:
 I don't think that was
 really her.

Mia:
 Um, what?

Phoenix:
 Yeah... The Dollie I know could
 NEVER have said those kinds
 of terrible things...

Phoenix:
 Maybe... Maybe she was like...
 I don't know... A fake or
 something.

Mia:
 (Boy... This poor kid still
 hasn't got a clue...)

Mia:
 You need to forget about
 her, Mr. Wright.
 For your own sake...

Phoenix:
 Yeah, you're right...
 That's probably for the best.

Mia:
 Also...
 You need to relax a bit more.
 Try to grow up a little.

Phoenix:
 B-But...

Phoenix:
 Out of all my friends, everyone
 says I'm the most grown up!

Mia:
 (Eek! What kind of company
 must this guy keep!?)

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Right now I...
 I'm studying to become
 a lawyer myself.

Mia:
 That's what you keep saying...

Mia:
 But I thought you were
 in the Art Department?

Phoenix:
 Well, yeah...
 I guess I am...

Phoenix:
 But there's a friend that I
 desperately want to help!

Phoenix:
 And if I hurry, then I should
 still be able to save him in
 time!

Mia:
 I see.

Phoenix:
 Say, Miss Fey?

Phoenix:
 A lawyer is someone who
 can help people when they're
 in trouble, right?

Mia:
 Mr. Wright,
 I'm still new at this myself.

Mia:
 But...
 I think that's exactly what
 a lawyer is.

Phoenix:
 OK... I'm going to do it.
 I'll study my butt off.
 I'll become a lawyer for sure!

Phoenix:
 I hope...
 I hope we see each other again
 some day, maybe even in court.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 It's been five years since I
 was acquitted of all charges.

Phoenix:
 I became a lawyer like I
 planned, and managed to
 save my friend.

Phoenix:
 But Mia has passed on
 to a better place.

Phoenix:
 For me, this trial brings up
 a lot of painful memories.

Phoenix:
 But... it also brings up some
 very precious ones.

Phoenix:
 And memories that I thought
 would never rise to the
 surface again...

Phoenix:
 Mia is gone now.

Phoenix:
 But even so...
 I can hear her in my mind.

Mia:
 Phoenix, no matter what,
 always believe in your client.

Mia:
 In a court of law, your
 greatest weapon is your
 belief.

Phoenix:
 ...Five long years...

Phoenix:
 Something has happened
 that's made me think back
 to her words of wisdom...

Phoenix:
 But that is a story for
 another day...

 Hey, are you listening to me!?
 You can clean the toilet
 later! This is important!

Phoenix:
 *sigh*
 What are you freaking
 out about now?

Maya:
 Hee hee.

Maya:
 Today will be the last time
 you talk to me that way!

Phoenix:
 Huh?

Maya:
 We're about to hit the

Phoenix:
 "Big time"? And what do
 you mean by "we"? You don't
 mean you and me are...?

Maya:
 Ha! Don't be silly.

Maya:
 I'm talking about me and
 Pearly, of course!

Pearl:
 Hello.
 It's a pleasure to see you
 again, Mr. Nick!

Phoenix:
 Pearls! You haven't changed

 you doing here anyway?

Pearl:
 Hee hee.
 Haven't you heard, Mr. Nick?

Pearl:
 Here! Take a look at this!

Phoenix:

 Some kind of poster?)

Phoenix:
 Kurain Village...
 Isn't that...?

Maya:
 That's right.
 It's our hometown...
 Pearly and mine, that is.

Phoenix:
 What's this about "treasures"
 from the boonies?

Maya:
 Ha ha ha. Very funny.
 You can laugh all you want...

Maya:
 But you'll be singing another

February 16, 9:24 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 4

Mia:
 (Ugh... I'm so nervous.
 I feel like I'm going to die.)

Mia:
 (I never should've
 accepted this case...)

Mia:
 Eeeeeeek!

Mia:
 ...Ah! G-G-Good morning!
 (Don't be so jumpy, Mia!)

? ? ?:
 I-I din't do nuttin'!
 I swear!
 I din't kill nobody!

Mia:
 (Terry Fawles...
 ...My first client.)

Mia:
 (Sentenced to death 5 years
 ago, and now... a prison
 escapee.)

Fawles:
 ...

Mia:
 (Just relax, Mia! Make small
 talk and try to relax him!)

Mia:
 ...Err, umm...
 So why did you escape anyway?

Fawles:
 Ah. Ah.
 UGGA!

Mia:
 Eeeeek!
 I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Fawles:
 ...Ugh.
 I din't do nuttin'!
 I din't kill nobody!

Fawles:
 I never... I never lie!
 I din't escape from nowhere!

Mia:
 Err...

Mia:
 But, Mr. Fawles...
 The police just recaptured
 you two days ago.

Fawles:
 ...
 Ugh.
 Sorry. I told a little lie.

Mia:
 (Oh boy...)

Fawles:
 But anyway, I din't do it!
 I never killed nobody!

Mia:
 Umm, sorry for asking but...
 You're on death row, right?

Fawles:
 Uh. Uh...
 UGGA!

Mia:
 Eeeeeek!
 I'm really, really sorry!

Fawles:
 They sentenced me to die
 5 years ago!
 But I was tricked I tell you!

Fawles:
 That woman! She lied in her
 testimony! ...That's why I got
 the death penalty!

Fawles:
 I swear it! I din't kill her!
 I could never do that!

Mia:
 (Two days ago, he escaped
 from the police wagon when
 it crashed...)

Mia:
 (Then about 8 hours later...)

Mia:
 (A policewoman was murdered
 before the police could
 recapture him.)

Mia:
 (The police believe that
 Terry Fawles did it.)

Mia:
 Umm... After you escaped,
 did you meet a policewoman?

Fawles:
 ...

Fawles:
 Yeah... I did.
 ...She's the reason I escaped.

Mia:
 (So that much is true...
 He did meet with the victim.)

Fawles:
 But I din't kill her!

Fawles:
 She was alive when I left!
 She was alive...!
 It-It's true!

Mia:
 (I can trust him... right?
 I mean, I should...)

? ? ?:
 Ha...!

? ? ?:
 You're not going to figure
 out the truth by just staring
 at the guy...

Mia:
 Y-You're... Why are you here?

? ? ?:
 I came to see how our little
 kitten was doing all alone in
 the big, scary lion's den.

? ? ?:
 ...I thought maybe you'd like
 someone to play with.

Mia:
 Err, where is Mr. Grossberg?

? ? ?:
 Ha...!
 That old man is probably
 still in bed.

? ? ?:
 I bet he's clutching an empty
 bottle and mumbling in his
 sleep.

Armando:
 Aren't I good enough?
 After all, it's me...
 Diego Armando!

Mia:
 I-I didn't say...

Mia:
 So, Diego Armando, the finest
 attorney at Grossberg Law
 Offices, is here for me...?

Armando:
 No, no, no...
 You've got it all wrong!
 Today, YOU'RE the finest!

Armando:
 After all, it took an amazing
 amount of guts to take this
 case!

Armando:
 Imagine...
 An escaped death row convict
 for a first client!

Mia:
 Yeah, err... Th-Thanks.
 (I sure wish I could get
 out of it though!)

Armando:
 Ha...!
 Relax.
 I just heard some good news.

Armando:
 The prosecutor for today
 is fresh out of his diapers
 as well.

Mia:
 R-Really!?

Armando:
 However...
 Unlike a certain somebody
 who I won't mention...

Armando:
 ...he's earned the reputation
 as a "genius" since beginning
 his law career.

Mia:
 (G-Genius...?)

Armando:
 Well, it's about time
 to head in, Kitten.

Armando:
 Sharpen those claws of yours.
 It's go time!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (A solitary confinement cell
 for the condemned must be
 the world's loneliest place.)

Mia:
 (...And that's what my client
 ran away from.)

Mia:
 (Every other lawyer gave up
 on him... But not me.)

Mia:
 (When I saw those overflowing
 eyes and heard that simple,
 child-like voice...)

Mia:
 (I just had the feeling that
 he was telling the truth.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 16, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4

Judge:
 Court is now in session for
 the trial of Terry Fawles.

Mia:
 The defense is ready,
 Your Honor.

? ? ?:
 The prosecution has been
 ready for a while, Your Honor.

Judge:
 I understand the lawyers for
 both sides are newcomers...?

Mia:
 Y-Y-Yes, Your Honor.
 I'm Mia Fey.

Edgeworth:
 Miles Edgeworth... Your Honor.

Judge:
 So you're the new prosecutor
 everyone is talking about, eh?

Judge:
 They say you joined the
 prosecutor's office at quite
 an early age.

Edgeworth:
 At 20... Your Honor.

Armando:
 I guess our little kitten
 hasn't earned herself much
 of a reputation yet, huh?

Mia:
 (Come on, Mia!
 You can't lose! Not to
 someone younger than you!)

Edgeworth:
 ...Hmph.

Judge:
 Young people running a trial.
 I'm not too sure how I feel
 about that.

Judge:
 ...Now then, the defendant in
 this case is currently a
 felon on death row.

Judge:
 Two days ago, he escaped
 from a police wagon.
 Is that correct?

Edgeworth:
 Precisely.

Armando:
 But the defendant is not on
 trial for escaping prison.

Armando:
 On the day that the defendant
 escaped, a policewoman was
 murdered...

Mia:
 So we're here to determine
 if Mr. Fawles was responsible
 for her death...?

Armando:
 You got it, Kitten.

Judge:
 Well then, Mr. Edgeworth.
 Let's hear your opening
 statement.

Edgeworth:
 Yes, Your Honor.
 It was five years ago.

Edgeworth:
 The defendant, Terry Fawles,
 was sentenced to death in this
 very court.

Edgeworth:
 His crimes were kidnapping,
 extortion... and murder.

Edgeworth:
 The girl he threw off the
 bridge was only 14 years old.

Judge:
 A truly horrible crime.
 I remember it well.

Judge:
 There was no decisive
 evidence, so the trial was
 long and protracted.

Edgeworth:
 Correct.
 But in the end, what finally
 decided the case was...

Edgeworth:
 ...a certain witness's
 testimony.

Mia:
 A witness's testimony...

Edgeworth:
 The testimony of Detective
 Valerie Hawthorne; the person
 who confronted this criminal.

Edgeworth:
 She arrested Mr. Fawles at
 the scene and later testified
 against him.

Edgeworth:
 She said she witnessed
 Mr. Fawles throw his young
 victim into the river.

Edgeworth:
 For those who are not aware,
 Eagle River is well-known for
 its powerful current.

Edgeworth:
 Most bodies that fall in
 are never recovered...

Mia:
 (So Ms. Hawthorne's testimony
 was the one that put him
 away...)

Judge:
 That policewoman you
 just mentioned...
 That wouldn't be...?

Edgeworth:
 Exactly. The victim.
 The same woman that was
 killed 2 days ago...

Edgeworth:
 Police Sergeant...
 Valerie Hawthorne.

Judge:
 Aha...! I see...

Judge:
 The man who was sentenced to
 death based on her testimony
 escaped two days ago...

Judge:
 ...with only one thing on his
 mind. To take revenge against
 the woman who convicted him.

Judge:
 ...
 Hmm...

Judge:
 Aha! The truth is becoming
 clear to me now!

Mia:
 Huh?

Judge:
 Yes, yes...

Judge:
 It's quite obvious that the
 defendant is guilty.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 W-Wait a minute!
 That's not right!

Mia:
 At least hear the case
 before you decide on the
 outcome, Your Honor!

Judge:
 Grrrngh...

Judge:
 Watch yourself, Ms. Fey! I'm
 not sure I care for your word
 choice, or your tone of voice.

Edgeworth:
 Young people these days simply
 don't know how to respect
 their elders.

Mia:
 (Why you...! You're even
 younger than me, you
 hypocrite!)

Judge:
 Now then, Mr. Edgeworth,
 please call your first
 witness.

Edgeworth:
 I call the detective who was
 in charge of the initial
 investigation of this case.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 Witness...
 State your name and
 occupation.

Gumshoe:
 Gumshoe. Dick Gumshoe.
 I'm the homicide detective
 in charge of the case, sir!

Gumshoe:
 I finally got promoted to
 the detective division half a
 year ago!

Mia:
 I don't believe anyone
 asked you about that.

Gumshoe:
 Hey, ma'am! You got any idea
 how much work it takes...
 ......

Mia:
 Wh-What is it?

Gumshoe:
 You...
 Y-You're really gorgeous...

Mia:
 Excuse me?

Gumshoe:
 No, seriously...
 My heart...
 It's aching for you...

Edgeworth:
 Detective. Pull yourself
 together and try to be
 professional. Otherwise...

Edgeworth:
 I'll write you up on contempt
 so quick that something other
 than your heart will ache!

Gumshoe:
 Urk...
 O-OK, I-I got it!

Judge:
 ...Now, Detective.
 Tell us about the incident.

Gumshoe:
 Yes, sir! Right away!

Gumshoe:
 The victim was Sergeant
 Valerie Hawthorne, a veteran
 on the police force.

Gumshoe:
 She was stabbed in the back
 with a knife and died from
 excessive blood loss.

Judge:
 That much is already stated
 in the autopsy report.

Judge:
 The court would like to hear
 more details about the
 incident itself.

Gumshoe:
 Yes, sir! I gotcha!
 OK! Let's take a look at this
 aerial map of the area here!

Gumshoe:
 This is a sketch of
 Dusky Bridge, an old
 suspension bridge.

Gumshoe:
 And the river that runs under
 there is Eagle River.

Gumshoe:
 The victim and the defendant
 met there...
 On top of the bridge.

Gumshoe:
 After stabbing her in the
 back, the killer carried
 the victim back to his car.

Gumshoe:
 He was recaptured at a police
 checkpoint as he was trying to
 make his getaway, sir.

Judge:
 Hmm... I see...

*Dusky Bridge Map added
to the Court Record.*

Judge:
 Was the victim's blood
 found on the bridge?

Gumshoe:
 The victim, Sergeant Valerie
 Hawthorne, was wearing a
 thick coat, sir.

Gumshoe:
 Unfortunately, no traces of
 blood were found on the
 bridge.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth. I warn you
 that I absolutely despise
 conjecture.

Judge:
 If there was no blood on the
 bridge, then you have no proof
 that they even met there!

Edgeworth:
 Your Honor.

Edgeworth:
 If you would listen to the
 testimony we have prepared,
 I'm sure you'll be convinced.

Edgeworth:
 The two of them most
 certainly did meet on the
 bridge that day...

Judge:
 Why, Mr. Edgeworth...

Judge:
 I'm not sure I like you
 wagging your finger at me as
 though I were some hoser!

Judge:
 Detective, proceed
 with your testimony!

Gumshoe:
 Um... Yes, sir!

Mia:
 (Here we go, Mia! Hang on...!)

Armando:
 OK now...
 Listen carefully, Kitten.

Armando:
 One little mistake and this
 guy will drink you for morning
 tea! Trust me and get ready.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Armando:

Armando:

Mia:

 It-It-It's just cold in here!

Armando:
 The courtroom can be a cold
 battlefield alright.
 Especially... for a beginner.

Mia:

 about me...! I mean...

Mia:
 I mean, the defendant, the
 witness... everyone's a
 beginner in here!

Armando:
 Ha...!

Armando:
 But maybe you should keep
 your claws out, and show them
 what you've got... Kitten.

Mia:
 (It's OK, Mia. Stay calm...)

Mia:
 (Just remember those court
 procedure videos you stayed
 up all last night watching!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Summary of the Incident --

(1)
Gumshoe:
 On the day of the incident,
 an unknown person phoned the
 sergeant and asked to meet.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      This "unknown person"...
      You have no idea who it
      might be, right?

    Gumshoe:
      Sorry, but I'm afraid I do!

    Mia:
      What...?

    Gumshoe:
      The one who called
      Sergeant Hawthorne was the
      defendant, Terry Fawles!

    Judge:
      Wh-Wh-Whaaat!
      The defendant...!
      The defendant called her!?

    Gumshoe:
      Sergeant Hawthorne was a very
      thorough person, sir!

    Gumshoe:
      She left a note about her
      phone call with Mr. Fawles.

    Mia:
      A note...?

    Gumshoe:
      Yeah, a top-secret memo
      that she left on her desk.

    *Victim's Note added to
    the Court Record.*

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    Judge:
      According to this note, it
      seems the one who called her
      to the bridge was indeed...

    Judge:
      ...the defendant,
      Terry Fawles!

    Mia:
      Nngh!
      (Whose bright idea was it to
      keep that note from me!?)

    Armando:
      Ha...!
      Looks like the judge is even
      more sure of his verdict now.

    Armando:
      Listen up!
      Never ask a question if you
      don't already know the answer!

    Mia:
      (It's that detective's fault!
      He's the one that said,
      "unknown person"...!)

    Gumshoe:
      Hey now!
      Don't make that face at me!

    Gumshoe:
      I just said it that way 'cause
      the prosecutor told me to!

    Mia:
      (Was that... a trap...?)

    Mia:
      (...With that cute face,
      I didn't expect him to
      be so sneaky.)

    Edgeworth:
      Hmph.

(2)
Gumshoe:
 Sergeant Hawthorne went to
 Dusky Bridge at the designaed
 time and met with Mr. Fawles.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      A bridge up in the mountains?
      But why meet there?

    Gumshoe:
      Because it is a very important
      place to the defendant,
      that's why.

    Judge:
      What do you mean by that?

    Edgeworth:
      If you remember, 5 years ago,
      the defendant kidnapped
      a young girl.

    Edgeworth:
      He was chased onto a bridge...
      And it was there that he
      killed his hostage.

    Edgeworth:
      And the place where all of
      this occurred is, of course,
      Dusky Bridge.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
    Mia:
      ...!

    Gumshoe:
      The very place where
      Sergeant Hawthorne arrested
      and handcuffed Mr. Fawles.

    Armando:
      Ha...!
      Returning to the scene of the
      crime... How nostalgic.

(3)
Gumshoe:
 And that's where she was
 brutally murdered, sir.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Was the body of the victim
      discovered right away?

    Gumshoe:
      Yeah.
      We were really on the ball.

    Gumshoe:
      We found the criminal within
      one hour of the murder.

    Gumshoe:
      It was great! We even got to
      say, "Don't move! We've got
      you surrounded!"

    Mia:
      (...Wait a second.
      Isn't there something weird
      about that...?)

    Armando:
      The location was a suspension
      bridge, up in the mountains.

    Armando:
      So how did they find out
      about the crime so quickly...?

    Mia:
      Sergeant Hawthorne must have
      mentioned the phone call to
      someone else, right?

    Armando;
      Ha...!

    Armando:
      If that's what had happened,
      then she wouldn't have been
      killed.

    Gumshoe:
      She never mentioned the
      phone call from Mr. Fawles.
      But...

    Gumshoe:
      She left a note on her
      desk about it.

    Gumshoe:
      If only I had noticed it
      earlier...
      Maybe she'd still be alive.

    Mia:
      (I wonder why she didn't
      mention the phone call to
      anyone...?)

(4)
Gumshoe:
 The criminal stuffed her body
 into his car trunk and tried
 to make a getaway.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Mr. Fawles had a car, then?

    Gumshoe:
      Well, that bridge is way up
      in the mountains, ma'am.

    Gumshoe:
      The defendant and the victim
      both went up there by car.
      I mean, how else, right?

    Judge:
      What! You mean the
      defendant drove his own car?

    Gumshoe:
      No, no, of course not.
      ...It was stolen.

    Gumshoe:
      He stole it from a
      young couple that had been
      waiting at a red light.

    Judge:
      Hmm... Car thieves...
      I'm not sure how I feel
      about car thieves.

    Mia:
      (Is this guy sure about how
      he feels about ANYTHING?)

    Gumshoe:
      This is a photo of the stolen
      car's trunk.

    Gumshoe:
      ...Naturally, that's the body
      of Valerie Hawthorne in there.

    Judge:
      Whoa! That...
      That doesn't look too
      comfortable...

    *Crime Photo added to
    the Court Record.*

    Mia:
      The victim...
      She was stabbed in the back,
      correct?

    Gumshoe:
      Yeah.

    Armando:
      Ha...!

    Armando:
      ...For some reason, men
      always seem to get stabbed
      in the back...

    Mia:
      (We're talking about a
      woman here...)

    Gumshoe:
      You can't tell from this
      photo, but...

    Gumshoe:
      ...the knife was stuck in her
      back nice and firm.

    Judge:
      The condition of the body
      when it was discovered is
      very important information.

    Judge:
      Detective, was there anything
      strange or noteworthy in the
      trunk of the car?

    ADD STATEMENT (4b)

(4b)
Gumshoe:
 Here's a photo of the trunk.
 But I don't see anything
 strange, do you? Anyway...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      What did the defendant
      have to say about this photo?

    Gumshoe:
      What he always says, ma'am!

    Fawles:
      I din't do it!
      I din't do nuttin'!!

    Gumshoe:
      ...That's all he says.

    Judge:
      "Nuttin'"? I wouldn't say
      he did "nuttin'". At the very
      least, we know he stole a car!

    Gumshoe:
      It's just what he always says,
      Your Honor.
      And then he always says...

    Fawles:
      ...
      Uh.
      Sorry. I told a little lie.

    Gumshoe:
      ...Or something like that.

    Mia:
      ...

    Judge:
      Well, in any case, it seems
      he was caught and arrested.

    Edgeworth:
      Precisely.

(5)
Gumshoe:
 Mr. Fawles was arrested at a
 police checkpoint we set up
 at the base of the mountain.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      That certainly is some
      impressive police work.

    Gumshoe:
      Well, no, actually it was
      way too close for comfort.

    Gumshoe:
      We set up that checkpoint
      just after 5:00 PM...

    Gumshoe:
      We figured that Mr. Fawles
      might just try to run.

    Mia:
      ...What do you mean it was
      too close for comfort?

    Edgeworth:
      The two of them arranged
      to meet at 4:30 PM.

    Edgeworth:
      And it takes approximately 30
      minutes to go from the bridge
      to the checkpoint.

    Mia:
      (Hmm... That WAS kinda close.
      Any later and Mr. Fawles could
      have slipped right by.)

--------------------------------------------

Armando:
 Listen up, Kitten.
 There's a big trap waiting for
 you in that testimony.

Mia:
 A t-trap?

Armando:
 Walk into it carelessly, and
 it'll leave more than just
 a flesh wound. Fun, huh?

Mia:
 No, it's NOT!

Armando:
 Well, if you want to have any
 chance at all, you'd better
 get some more information.

Armando:
 And if you're going to get
 caught in a trap, it's best to
 get caught early.


Armando:
 You can always look for
 contradictions afterwards.

Mia:
 (The ever-famous
 "contradictions". I sure hope
 I can find some of those...)

 Shake it off!
 You're a lawyer!)

Mia:
 Detective!

Gumshoe:
 Y-Yes, ma'am!

Mia:
 This photo...

Mia:
 You said that there was
 nothing peculiar about it.
 ...Is that correct?

Gumshoe:
 Y-Yeah, that's what I said!

Mia:
 Well then, I suggest you take
 another look at the note
 written by the victim!

Gumshoe:
 The n-n-note...?

Mia:
 It very clearly says,
 "Wear white scarf for
 identification."...

Mia:
 The caller must have forgotten
 what the victim looked like.
 Thus, this special request.

Gumshoe:
 Aaah... I, umm...!

Mia:
 I have one very simple
 question for you, Detective.
 Where is the white scarf?

Mia:
 I can't seem to find it in
 this photo...

Gumshoe:
 Um... Well, to be honest,
 we didn't find it in the
 trunk, ma'am...

Mia:
 And you stopped there!?
 You should have looked for it!

Gumshoe:
 Aaaaaaarrrggg...!

Judge:
 The caller told her to wear it
 to identify herself, so I'd
 expect she did just that!

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Edgeworth!?
 What do you have to say
 about this!?

Edgeworth:
 *sigh*

Edgeworth:
 I see the defense is a
 little... lacking.

Mia:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 The scarf you are searching
 so desperately for...
 ...Is it this one, perchance?

Mia:
 ...Ah!

Gumshoe:
 Wh-Where did you find that,
 sir!?

Edgeworth:
 On Dusky Bridge. I was there
 first, and decided to conduct
 my own investigation.

Gumshoe:
 Wh-Why...?
 Why didn't you tell me?

Edgeworth:
 I made a decision to keep
 all pieces of evidence in my
 personal satchel.

Edgeworth:
 It's the safest place I know.

Armando:
 Hmph!
 That hot-shot sure has a flair
 for the dramatic...

Edgeworth:
 It's not exactly "white", as
 the caller requested...

Edgeworth:
 But as you can see, it's
 close enough, for what it
 was intended for.

Judge:
 Hmmm...
 It looks like it spent some
 time in the mud.

Edgeworth:
 Not surprising...
 It was drizzling on the
 mountain that day.

Mia:
 (Prosecutor Edgeworth...
 He was intentionally hiding
 that scarf the whole time!)

Judge:
 The court will accept the
 scarf into evidence.

*Scarf added to the
Court Record.*

Edgeworth:
 Now, if the attorney for the
 defense is finished
 embarrassing herself...

Edgeworth:
 ...I'd like to move on with
 the testimony. That IS alright
 with you, isn't it, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 (Boy would I like to wrap this
 scarf around his smarmy little
 neck...)

Edgeworth:
 Very good. Now, if we're done
 with this mud-covered scarf
 business...

Edgeworth:
 ...the prosecution moves to
 establish conclusively, and
 with hard evidence that...

Edgeworth:
 ...Ms. Hawthorne and
 Mr. Fawles did indeed meet
 on that bridge that day.

Edgeworth:
 Further, we will show exactly
 what occurred there.

Judge:
 That sounds quite promising.
 I can't wait to hear all
 about it.

Mia:
 (Argh... Everything is moving
 at his whim...)

Armando:
 Don't forget, Kitten.
 There's a reason why everyone
 considers this kid a genius.

Mia:
 (A genius, huh...)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Events on Dusky Bridge --

(1)
Gumshoe:
 Actually, there's an
 eyewitness who was there
 when the incident took place.

(2)
Gumshoe:
 This photo was accidentally
 taken by the witness. It shows
 her wearing the scarf, sir.

(3)
Gumshoe:
 It was drizzling that day;
 unfortunately, it's a little
 hard to see what's going on.

(4)
Gumshoe:
 Anyway, the criminal shoved
 the victim down from behind
 and stabbed her in the back!

(5)
Gumshoe:
 ...That must have been
 when the scarf fell off.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm.
 Looking at this photo...

Judge:
 ...you really get the sense
 that this bridge is very high
 up.

Edgeworth:
 It is about a 40 feet drop
 from the bridge to the Eagle
 River down below.

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth, who took this
 photo anyway?

Edgeworth:
 Let's just say that it was a
 well-intentioned third party.

Judge:
 Aha! A potential witness!
 So why isn't this person
 in the courtroom?

Gumshoe:
 Well... They said they
 absolutely did not want
 to testify.

Edgeworth:
 ...The person in question is
 very delicate, Your Honor.

Edgeworth:
 Besides, as long as we have
 this photo, we see no reason
 to compel her to testify.

Judge:
 ...
 I'm not sure how I feel
 about that!

*Witness's Photo added
to the Court Record.*

Edgeworth:
 So, as you can see,
 Terry Fawles had both the
 motive and the opportunity.

Edgeworth:
 I think it's quite clear at
 this point what happened on
 that bridge.

Judge:
 ...
 Hmm.

Judge:
 Aha! The truth is becoming
 clear to me now!

Mia:
 Huh?

Judge:
 Yes, it's quite obvious.
 He's clearly guilty.

Mia:
 N-Not again!
 That's not fair!

Mia:
 I haven't even done my
 cross-examination yet!

Judge:
 Hmm...

Mia:
 (What do you mean, "Hmm"!?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Events on Dusky Bridge --

(1)
Gumshoe:
 Actually, there's an
 eyewitness who was there
 when the incident took place.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Who is this eyewitness?

    Gumshoe:
      She's a college student!

    Mia:
      A female college student...?

    Gumshoe:
      That's right!
      Meaning she's "female" AND
      a "college student", ma'am!

    Gumshoe:
      She doesn't do well in
      front of other people, so I
      came to testify for her.

    Mia:
      Maybe so! But as the attorney
      for the defense, I have the
      right to cross-examine her...

    Edgeworth:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Edgeworth:
      For the time being, we're not
      relying on the witness's
      statements... That is all.

    Mia:
      Wh-What is that supposed
      to mean!?

    Edgeworth:
      ...The prosecution has other,
      more decisive evidence.

    Edgeworth:
      Our case doesn't rest on the
      vague testimony of a
      female college student.

    Judge:
      A female college student, eh.

    Gumshoe:
      It means she's "female" AND
      a "college student", sir!

    Edgeworth:
      If you absolutely must hear
      her testimony, you'll have to
      give us a good reason why.

    Mia:
      Grrr...

    Judge:
      Please tell us about the
      more decisive evidence in
      question.

(2)
Gumshoe:
 This photo was accidentally
 taken by the witness. It shows
 her wearing the scarf, sir.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      (The victim is wearing a
      scarf in that photo alright.)

    Mia:
      So, about the witness who
      took this photo...

    Mia:
      What was this person doing
      all the way in the mountains?

    Gumshoe:
      She was taking photos of
      wild flowers apparently.

    Edgeworth:
      There are many unusual types
      of flora on that mountain,
      Ms. Fey.

    Edgeworth:
      People in the area say
      it's because of the spirits
      that live there.

    Judge:
      S-S-Spirits!
      Now that you mention it,
      th-this photo...

    Judge:
      This cloudy fog-like thing...
      Is-Is it a ghost!?
      I-I don't believe it!

    Gumshoe:
      No, Your Honor, no...
      I don't think it's a ghost.

(3)
Gumshoe:
 It was drizzling that day;
 unfortunately, it's a little
 hard to see what's going on.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Drizzling, huh?

    Gumshoe:
      That's right. There was a
      light rain coming down.
      The whole place was dreary...

    Gumshoe:
      ...But not as dreary as the
      mood that's in this court
      room right now. Ha ha.

    Mia:
      ...

    Edgeworth:
      ...

    Judge:
      ...

    Gumshoe:
      ...Looks like a cold front
      just moved in.

    Edgeworth:
      In any case...

    Edgeworth:
      The point is that the area
      was quite damp.
      There was even some fog.

    Gumshoe:
      I even slipped and fell while
      I was on the bridge.
      It was really something.

(4)
Gumshoe:
 Anyway, the criminal shoved
 the victim down from behind
 and stabbed her in the back!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Is that part of the witness's
      testimony as well?

    Gumshoe:
      Of course it is.

    Gumshoe:
      He pushed the victim hard in
      the back and she fell down
      right on her stomach!

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    Judge:
      ...I remember that happening
      once myself.
      It was really broodle.

    Mia:
      ...

    Mia:
      (Are you talking about seeing
      someone get pushed, or were
      you the one getting pushed?)

    Mia:
      (Or does it mean that you
      pushed someone down like
      that once...?)

    Mia:
      (With his mind-boggling tales
      and the way he said, "brutal",
      I wonder if he's Canadian...)

    Armando:
      Ha...!

    Armando:
      Save your nasty look for
      the right person.

    Mia:
      Huh...?

    Armando:
      ...Take a look.

    Armando:
      Poor baby... The Court Record
      seems to have wet itself.

    Mia:
      Hey! Watch where you
      spill your coffee!

    Mia:
      (The Court Record, huh...)

(5)
Gumshoe:
 ...That must have been
 when the scarf fell off.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So in other words, there was
      a struggle between the
      criminal and the victim, huh?

    Gumshoe:
      That's what the witness said.

    Gumshoe:
      Well.
      It looks like she didn't
      remember about the scarf.

    Gumshoe:
      But from what she said,
      it sounded like a pretty
      violent fight, ma'am.

    Mia:
      (The area was wet from rain.
      The bridge was probably wet,
      too.)

    Mia:
      (Which would explain why the
      scarf was all covered in
      mud, but...)

    Mia:
      (There's something about
      this testimony that's still
      bothering me...)

--------------------------------------------

Armando:
 Heh, talk about a surprise.
 I had no idea there was
 a photo.

Mia:
 S-So what do I do... ?

Armando:
 You really still believe him?
 Mr. Crybaby, I mean?

Mia:
 Of course I do!

Armando:
 Hmph...!
 So the little kitten believes
 in fairy tales, huh...

Armando:
 In that case, the answer
 is obvious.

Armando:
 If what you believe is
 the truth...

Armando:
 ...then that means that
 somewhere, hidden in that
 testimony, is a contradiction.

Armando:
 One huge contradiction
 waiting to be discovered.
 ...That's your chance.

*Present Crime Photo* at (4)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 So at the time of the crime,
 there was a light drizzle
 coming down, correct?

Gumshoe:
 Yeah, and fog, too.
 Just a generally soggy
 atmosphere.

Mia:
 Well, I have evidence
 that doesn't go with
 the soggy atmosphere.

Judge:
 But this is a photo of the
 victim's body that was found
 in the car trunk.

Mia:
 Considering the conditions
 at the scene of the crime,
 something isn't right.

Edgeworth:
 ...

Judge:
 Well by all means...
 Please enlighten us as to
 what isn't right!

Judge:
 What is it about this photo of
 the trunk that doesn't fit
 with the conditions that day?

x
x Edgeworth:
x   It seems to me that Ms. Fey

x
x Mia:

x
x Edgeworth:
x   One that she could hide all

x

*Present victim's coat*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Naturally the answer is...
 right here!

Judge:
 The victim's... coat?

Judge:
 As far as I can see, there
 is nothing strange about it.

Mia:
 That's exactly what's strange!

Mia:
 Remember the testimony!
 What were the conditions
 on the bridge that day?

Mia:
 It was drizzling and foggy.
 Dusky Bridge was all wet.

Mia:
 If the victim really had
 fallen down on her stomach
 on top of the bridge...

Mia:
 ...then the front of her coat
 should have been covered
 in mud!

Gumshoe:
 Urk...!

Edgeworth:
 ...!

Judge:
 That...
 That's exactly right!

Judge:
 The other day I fell on a
 muddy street and my gorgeous
 playoff beard was befouled!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...I do admit that the
 crime scene was quite wet
 that day.

Edgeworth:
 However! That doesn't mean
 that the top of the bridge
 itself was muddy!

Edgeworth:
 If Your Honor had fallen in
 the shower instead of on a
 muddy street...

Edgeworth:
 ...his glorious hockey beard,
 pride of the Legal League,
 would be wet, but not muddy!

Judge:
 Fortunately, I have yet to
 test that. Still, your point
 is well-taken.

Edgeworth:
 Can you prove that the
 surface of the bridge
 was muddy that day?

Mia:
 (The surface of the bridge,
 huh...)

Armando:
 Ha...!
 A real man wouldn't
 stand for a taunt like this!

Mia:
 (Neither would a real woman!)

Mia:
 Of course I can!

Edgeworth:
 ...!

Mia:
 Here is the evidence that
 proves the surface of the
 bridge was muddy!

xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Mia:
x   *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Mia:
x   The evidence is...
x
x Armando:
x   Wait a minute.
x
x Mia:
x   Wh-What is it?
x   Your timing is terrible...!
x
x Armando:
x   If you present that
x   evidence, it would be like...
x
x Armando:
x   Like jumping off a 100-story
x   building into a bubbling pool
x   of magma.
x
x Armando:
x   ...After tying a 10-ton

x
x Mia:

x
x Armando:
x   To put it simply...
x   It would be suicide.
x

x
x Edgeworth:
x   Is your little chat finished?

x

x   Y-Yes...
x   I-I've changed my mind.
x

*Present Scarf*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 The evidence is...
 this scarf!

Judge:
 Ah...!

Mia:
 It should be obvious...

Mia:
 If the scarf fell onto the
 bridge and got this muddy...

Mia:
 It means that the bridge
 was obviously covered in mud!

Edgeworth:
 Urrrnngh...!
 No... I can't be outwitted by
 this novice bimbo...!

Mia:
 (Hey! Same to you, buddy!)

Judge:
 Ms. Fey's assertion makes
 perfect sense to me...

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 I do admit that there
 appears to be a
 contradiction between...

Edgeworth:
 ...the condition of the
 victim's coat and her
 scarf.

Edgeworth:
 However!
 The real question is... why is
 there a contradiction?

Mia:
 Huh?

Edgeworth:
 For every contradiction,
 there exists an explanation.

Edgeworth:
 Let's look at what the
 explanation in this case
 may be, shall we?

Mia:
 A-Alright...!
 (It's not like he's really
 giving me a choice here...)

Armando:
 Ha...!

Armando:
 You're doing pretty good.
 ...For a little kitten.

Mia:
 M-Mr. Armando!

Armando:
 No matter what he says, a
 contradiction always comes
 down to a lie.

Armando:
 It's either the victim
 discovered in the trunk...

Armando:
 ...the witness's photo showing
 the defendant and the
 victim...

Armando:
 ...or the witness's testimony
 that stated she saw the
 moment of the murder.

Armando:
 Just relax and think it over.
 It's pretty simple, isn't it?

Armando:
 The false evidence...
 It's one of those three.

Judge:
 Hmph! What you said just now!
 I'm not sure I like that!

Mia:
 Th-That wasn't me, Your Honor!
 It was the coffee aficionado
 over here that said it!

Judge:
 This court is not in the
 habit of accepting false
 evidence, you know!

Armando:
 Blame it on him, Your Honor.
 He's the one trying to slip
 false evidence into the court.

Mia:
 ...!

Armando:
 But we won't let him!
 We'll expose his evidence as
 the flimsy scam it really is!

Mia:
 Y-Yes!

Mia:
 The false evidence in
 this case is the...

Mia:
 It is a no-brainer.
 Obviously it's the witness
 that's suspicious!

Mia:
 During his earlier testimony,
 the detective pointed out
 a crucial fact.

Mia:
 "The criminal shoved the
 victim down from behind
 and stabbed her in the back."

Mia:
 Now, is that testimony
 exactly what the witness
 claims to have seen?

Gumshoe:
 Yeah.
 ...That's what the witness
 told us.

Mia:
 That testimony...
 is filled with holes.

Mia:
 After all, the victim's coat
 isn't dirty at all.

Judge:
 Hmm... That's true.

Armando:
 Ha...!
 It's not just true.
 It's the truth.

Armando:
 If there was a truly decisive
 witness in this case...

Armando:
 ...I'm certain that boy wonder
 over there would have called
 them in the first place!

Mia:
 ...Your Honor!

Mia:
 The defense requests
 to cross-examine the
 eyewitness!

Mia:
 The testimony presented so
 far is not only vague, but
 contradictory as well!

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Edgeworth?

Judge:
 It appears that we'll need
 to hear from your mystery
 witness after all.

Edgeworth:
 ...
 *sigh*
 You should brace yourself.

Edgeworth:
 ...For the brutal truth.

Mia:
 ...?

Edgeworth:
 Your Honor, the prosecution
 has no intention of hiding the
 witness from the court.

Edgeworth:
 We are prepared to present
 our witness at any time.

Judge:
 Very well...
 Please bring forth your
 witness at this time.

Mia:
 (What Mr. Edgeworth said...
 kind of worries me...)

Mia:
 (What does he mean by
 "the brutal truth"?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Now, let's proceed with the
 testimony.

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth.
 Please go right ahead.

Edgeworth:
 Thank you, Your Honor.
 The prosecution summons...

Edgeworth:
 ...the woman who saw the
 events that day with her
 very own eyes.

Mia:
 (This is it, Mia! The battle
 begins here!)

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 ...Witness.
 What is your name and
 occupation?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Judge:
 ...

Mia:
 (Everyone is so silent that
 I can hear their hearts going
 pitter-patter...)

Judge:
 Hmm... Ohh...

Judge:
 When I look at you...
 How can I put it...?

Judge:
 You look as scrumptous as a
 double-double and a dozen
 doughnut holes...

Judge:
 I feel like I want to hurry
 up and hand down a verdict
 just to have a bite...

Mia:
 (Hey, hey! Not so fast!)

Edgeworth:
 ...*sigh*
 As I said before...

Edgeworth:
 This witness is very
 sensitive and delicate.

Edgeworth:
 I would ask the court to
 please exercise care when
 addressing her.

Judge:
 Yes, indeed...
 Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.
 You are a true gentleman.

Judge:
 Ms. Fey!
 You could learn a lot from
 this man!

Mia:
 (...If he's such a gentleman,
 he sure doesn't act like one
 to me.)

? ? ?:
 Umm... Sir?

Judge:
 Hmmm...
 Eh? Yes, my dear?

? ? ?:
 This is my first time,
 so I'm sure I'll make a
 lot of mistakes.

? ? ?:
 Anyway... I just wanted to
 say I'm sorry for all the
 trouble I might cause...

Judge:
 Hmmmmm...
 Not at all! It's no trouble
 at all!

Mia:
 Now then...
 May we please have your
 name and occupation?

Melissa:
 My name is, umm...
 ...Melissa Foster.

Melissa:
 I'm a college student...
 A-A freshman in the
 literature department.

Edgeworth:
 You were on the scene
 when the unfortunate event
 occurred, correct?

Mia:
 ...And you were the one
 who took this photo?
 Is that accurate?

Melissa:
 Waaaaaah!
 H-How can you be so mean...?

Judge:
 Now see here! What are you
 doing shoving that in her face
 like that!?

Mia:
 Huh? B-But it's just a
 photograph! It's not like
 it's something dangerous!

Judge:
 Next time I'll be forced
 to penalize you!

Mia:
 (Uh oh... I don't like the
 turn this has taken...)

Melissa:
 ...

Mia:
 ...?
 (Is she... staring at me?)

Melissa:
 Umm...
 And you would be...?

Mia:
 Huh?
 I-I'm the defense lawyer.
 ...My name is Mia Fey.

Melissa:
 ...

Melissa:
 ...I see.
 So you are...

Judge:
 Now then, young lady.
 Could you please give us
 your testimony?

Melissa:
 Yes, Your Honor...
 I-I'll do my best.

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Witness's Photograph --

(1)
Melissa:
 I... I was using my camera to
 take some pictures of wild
 flowers.

(2)
Melissa:
 Then, I noticed there were
 two people standing up on
 the suspension bridge.

(3)
Melissa:
 Suddenly, they just
 started fighting!

(4)
Melissa:
 That's when I hurried
 and took the photo that
 shows the crucial moment.

(5)
Melissa:
 And right after that,
 I called the police.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 By the way, where were
 you standing when the
 incident occurred...?

Edgeworth:
 I believe the map would
 be of help here.

Melissa:
 Umm... I was standing right
 over... here.

Melissa:
 I was standing in a
 beautiful field, surrounded
 by tall cliffs.

Judge:
 So you took the photo
 from that location, eh.

Melissa:
 I brought the camera I was
 using at the time, just like
 Mr. Edgeworth asked me to.

Judge:
 Ho ho ho.
 What a cute camera...
 Just like its owner.

*Camera added to the
Court Record.*

Judge:
 ...Alright then, Ms. Fey.
 Time for your cross-
 examination.

Judge:
 But I warn you, make the
 witness cry again, and you'll
 feel the wrath of my gavel.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Witness's Photograph --

(1)
Melissa:
 I... I was using my camera to
 take some pictures of wild
 flowers.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Did you say... "wild flowers"?

    Melissa:
      Yes, the mountain is
      famous for its beautiful
      spring wild flowers.

    Mia:
      Umm... But it's only February.

    Melissa:
      Well, I... I couldn't wait
      for Spring to come.

    Judge:
      Ho ho...
      I know just how you feel!

    Judge:
      It's just like when I first
      started growing this glorious
      beard of mine...

    Judge:
      I just couldn't wait, so I
      wore a dyed blonde Santa beard
      until mine grew in properly.

    Edgeworth:
      ...Would you mind if we got
      back to the facts of the
      case, Your Honor?

(2)
Melissa:
 Then, I noticed there were
 two people standing up on
 the suspension bridge.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Was there anything strange
      about the two of them?

    Melissa:
      I... I'm a bad girl.
      ...I know I am.

    Melissa:
      It looked like they were
      having a really serious
      conversation up there...

    Melissa:
      ...So I decided to watch them.
      Like some kind of Peeping Tom.

    Judge:
      No, not at all!
      Everyone is like that!

    Judge:
      I love watching other
      people fight, too. In fact,
      I can't get enough of it!

    Judge:
      ...Actually, that's why I
      took this job in the first
      place.

    Mia:
      (Too much info, Your Honor!)

    Edgeworth:
      ...In any case, it's perfectly
      natural for you to have
      kept watching them.

    Edgeworth:
      Especially dressed as they
      were...

    Melissa:
      Well, anyway... I was
      watching them very closely.

(3)
Melissa:
 Suddenly, they just
 started fighting!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Do you have any idea what
      they were fighting about?

    Melissa:
      Eh? No... I have no idea.
      Why do you ask that?

    Mia:
      Oh, I just thought that
      maybe you overheard
      what they said...

    Melissa:
      ...

    Mia:
      ...!

    Melissa:
      I would never...
      I would never eavesdrop...

    Melissa:
      I've got more class than that!

    Judge:
      That's right, Ms. Fey!
      Don't drag the witness down
      to your level!

    Mia:
      (Grrrr...!)

(4)
Melissa:
 That's when I hurried
 and took the photo that
 shows the crucial moment.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Why did you take a photo?

    Melissa:
      Well, the two of them were
      really going at it...

    Melissa:
      Ever since I was a little
      girl, I always wanted to be
      a news reporter...

    Melissa:
      I guess that part of me
      just kind of took over...

    Mia:
      (Smells like a lie to me...)

    Judge:
      Yes, I understand completely!

    Judge:
      Even now, I can't completely
      abandon my boyhood dreams...

    Judge:
      I still use my grandson to
      test my comedy routines on!

    Mia:
      (So he wanted to be a
      comedian, huh. ...Not that it
      has any bearing on this.)

    Melissa:
      All I could do was to
      use my camera.

    Melissa:
      So I took the photo of
      the crucial moment and
      gave it to the police.

(4b)
Melissa:
 The victim turned around
 and tried to run away, but...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      The victim...
      Why do you think she tried
      to run away?

    Melissa:
      Umm...

    Mia:
      With her police training, she
      certainly knew better than to
      turn her back on a criminal...

    Edgeworth:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Edgeworth:
      This was a large, powerful
      man with a knife.

    Edgeworth:
      If it had been a quaggy woman
      like you, I'm sure she would
      have acted differently.

    Mia:
      ("Quaggy"!? Why you...!)

    Judge:
      If it had been me, I probably
      would have jumped into the
      river!

    Mia:
      (There's still something
      wrong with this testimony...)

(5)
Melissa:
 And right after that,
 I called the police.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You called the police?

    Melissa:
      Yes. Because it looked to me
      like the murderer was going to
      try to escape.

    Edgeworth:
      ...We were already moving
      before the call even came in.

    Edgeworth:
      Thanks to the victim's note,
      we had already started our
      operation.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      That was certainly tough
      luck for the criminal, eh.

(5b)
Melissa:
 She only got about 10 yards
 before she was stabbed
 in the back.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So you're saying
      Sergeant Hawthorne wasn't
      able to get away from him...?

    Melissa:
      Well, it's a narrow bridge
      and it was swaying back
      and forth...

    Melissa:
      If you ask me, both of them
      were in danger of falling off.

    Melissa:
      I only wish I could have
      done something to help her...

    Judge:
      Hmmmm...
      That seems to make sense.

    Mia:
      I wonder about that...
      Something seems kind
      of off...

    Armando:
      Ha...!
      You have a good sixth sense.

    Armando:
      When you feel that something's
      off, that's when you need to
      figure out why...

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (If Terry Fawles isn't
 the criminal...)

Mia:
 (Then there must be
 something strange in that
 girl's testimony!)

Armando:
 Be careful, Kitten.

Armando:
 That girl has the judge
 wrapped right around her
 little finger.

Armando:
 You're going to have a tough
 time poking holes in that
 testimony of hers.

Mia:
 (You're going to have to
 come up with something
 really good, Mia!)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Witness's Photo* at (4)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 ...Witness.

Mia:
 When you said you took a
 photo of the crucial moment,
 is this what you meant?

Melissa:
 Err...

Mia:
 All I can see in this photo
 are two people facing
 each other.

Mia:
 You testified that you saw
 the two of them starting to
 fight.

Mia:
 Normally that's the kind of
 thing we would refer to as
 a crucial moment!

Mia:
 Why haven't you presented
 a photo like that!?

Melissa:
 ...W-Well, you see...

Edgeworth:
 ...The photo we presented
 was the only one there was.

Mia:
 But if you really wanted to
 capture the crucial moment...

Mia:
 ...then what happened next?
 You must have taken a photo
 of it!

Judge:
 Hm...
 Hmmmmm... Doh!

Judge:
 Err... Umm...
 My apologies, young lady...

Judge:
 But Ms. Fey's assertion
 is not without a certain
 amount of merit...

Mia:
 (He can certainly downplay
 a situation, can't he...)

Melissa:
 ...I-I'm sorry...
 ...I'm a very bad girl.

Melissa:
 I umm...
 I used it all up...
 The film, I mean.

Judge:
 You ran out of film!?

Melissa:
 Err, this photo was the
 last one.

Mia:
 What!?

Edgeworth:
 Unfortunately, that is the
 truth.

Edgeworth:
 ...I personally examined all
 of the photographs she took
 that day.

Edgeworth:
 All the other photos are of
 the witness herself, playing
 among the wild flowers.

Mia:
 The witness herself?
 Then who took the photos?

Melissa:
 Well... You see...
 My camera has a timer
 feature built into it.

Mia:
 So, you took photos of
 yourself!?

Judge:
 Hmm...
 I remember taking some photos
 of myself once, too!

Mia:
 (Please! No details...!)

Judge:
 ...It seems that Ms. Fey's
 assertion was not so decisive
 after all.

Mia:
 W-Wait!
 Just a minute!

Judge:
 Well, if she had no film left,
 she couldn't very well take
 more pictures, eh.

Edgeworth:
 Ms. Foster, perhaps then
 you could tell us about a
 different sort of photo.

Edgeworth:
 Photos of the incident that
 you "took" with your very
 own eyes.

Melissa:
 Mr. Edgeworth...
 You're quite the poet!

Judge:
 Very well then! Let's get back
 to the cross-examination.

Judge:
 ...Let's hear your thoughts
 on the fight that you
 witnessed!

Melissa:
 Yes... Mr. Judge.

Mia:
 (Boy, this guy is really a
 sucker for sweet talk...)

Armando:
 Ha...!

Armando:
 It looks like the other kitten
 in the room is the one that's
 getting all the attention.

Mia:
 Yeah, it's sickening.

*Present Dusky Bridge Map* at (4b) or (5b)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Witness!
 Your testimony is a joke!

Melissa:
 Huh... Wh-What...?
 B-But I... I just...

Judge:
 Ms. Fey!
 I thought I warned you not
 to make the witness cry!

Mia:
 One short testimony and
 two bad contradictions...

Mia:
 There's no possible excuse!

Judge:
 You say there were...
 two contradictions!?

Mia:
 It's simple.
 Just take a look at the
 diagram of the area.

Mia:
 According to her testimony,
 the two of them were in the
 middle of the bridge.

Mia:
 But if they were, and the
 victim had turned around
 and tried to run...

Mia:
 Well, then...

Judge:
 S-She would've hit a
 dead-end...!

Mia:
 You said 10 yards, but she
 couldn't have ran even 5!

Mia:
 Because Dusky Bridge is
 collapsed on that side!

Melissa:
 Waaaaaah!

Judge:
 Wh-What does all this
 mean!?

Mia:
 It's very simple, Your Honor.

Mia:
 This charming, little witness
 told a charming, little lie.

Mia:
 That's all there is to it.

Melissa:
 Nnnn...ggg...urk...

Judge:
 Th-This beautiful, young
 lady has been l-lying
 to the court...?

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Just a moment, Your Honor.

Mia:
 (M-Mr. Edgeworth...!)

Edgeworth:
 Your Honor...
 Allow me to personally
 apologize for the confusion.

Judge:
 What do you mean?

Edgeworth:
 There's one major mistake
 in this diagram.

Mia:
 What did you say!?

Judge:
 What are you referring to?

Edgeworth:
 It's all because this diagram
 was made after the incident
 occurred.

Edgeworth:
 It's a very old bridge...
 We couldn't find any
 official blueprints of it.

Judge:
 S-So you're saying...?

Edgeworth:
 I'm saying that even though
 this bridge is currently
 in disrepair...

Edgeworth:
 ...there's no evidence that
 can prove that the bridge was
 broken during the incident.

Mia:
 Th-That's ridiculous...!

Edgeworth:
 You can't actually tell the
 condition of the bridge from
 this photo...

Edgeworth:
 I apologize to the court for
 not being more clear when
 I presented the evidence.

Judge:
 Hmm.
 Hmmmm...

Armando:
 Ha...!
 That guy is good.

Mia:
 Huh? What do you mean?

Armando:
 He planned it from the
 beginning.

Armando:
 He's a genius alright...
 That diagram of the bridge
 was his insurance policy.

Mia:
 (What!? That coward!)

Judge:
 Well, Ms. Fey...
 It seems you've once again
 made a reckless accusation.

Mia:
 ...!

Melissa:
 I-I'm so sorry!
 I should have been more
 careful myself...!

Judge:
 No, no, no, no!
 It wasn't YOUR fault at all!

Edgeworth:
 Now then...
 Shall we go on with the trial?

Edgeworth:
 I'd like to establish, once
 and for all, what it was that
 the witness actually saw.

Judge:
 Indeed.

Judge:
 Alright, young lady...

Judge:
 May I ask you to please
 proceed with your testimony?

Melissa:
 But I...
 It's so hard to go on...!

Judge:
 We're all on your side,
 Ms. Foster!

Edgeworth:
 There's no need to worry.
 Just tell us what you saw.

Melissa:
 Y-Yes, sir!

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Running From the Crime --

(1)
Melissa:
 After he stabbed her in the
 back, he quickly picked her
 up in his arms.

(2)
Melissa:
 Then he carried her over
 to the car.

(3)
Melissa:
 I suppose that was the
 only way he could make
 sure the body stayed hidden.

(4)
Melissa:
 He couldn't just leave the
 body on top of the bridge.

(5)
Melissa:
 Oh, I'm sorry... I'm only
 supposed to talk about what
 I saw.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Witnessing such violence
 must have been difficult.

Melissa:
 Yes, sir...
 I-I'm still shaken up...

Armando:
 If he accepts this testimony
 as it is, we're finished.

Mia:
 D-Don't say that...!

Armando:
 Oh well...
 Maybe I'll stop off at my
 favorite café on the way home.

Armando:
 They make a really great
 mocha latté...

Mia:
 This trial isn't over yet!

Armando:
 Ha...!
 That's what I like to hear...

Judge:
 Alright, Ms. Fey.
 Your cross-examination,
 if you please.

Mia:
 (The contradiction is staring
 you right in the face, Mia!
 Go on the attack!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Running From the Crime --

(1)
Melissa:
 After he stabbed her in the
 back, he quickly picked her
 up in his arms.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Are you saying that the
      victim didn't fall down
      on the bridge?

    Melissa:
      Err... Umm...
      Actually, maybe she did fall.

    Edgeworth:
      Of course she didn't fall
      down on the bridge.

    Edgeworth:
      If she had fallen down,
      this photo wouldn't make
      any sense.

    Edgeworth:
      If that was the case, her
      coat would've been all muddy.

    Mia:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Mia:
      If you don't mind, I was
      asking the witness!

    Edgeworth:
      *sigh*
      No need to be so rude.

    Judge:
      Well, young lady?

    Melissa:
      ...

    Melissa:
      Of course she didn't
      fall down.

    Melissa:
      The man in the prison uniform
      grabbed her before she could.

    Mia:
      ...

    Armando:
      Ha...!
      We're one step too slow...

    Edgeworth:
      And then, what did the
      defendant do after that?

(2)
Melissa:
 Then he carried her over
 to the car.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You personally witnessed that?

    Melissa:
      Y-Yes...

    Mia:
      Did anything strange happen
      when he did that?

    Melissa:
      Well, I don't know if you'd
      call it strange or not...

    Melissa:
      ...but that's when the
      victim's scarf fell off.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      You mean this scarf!?

    Edgeworth:
      Her words match what we
      found at the scene.
      I don't see any problem...

(3)
Melissa:
 I suppose that was the
 only way he could make
 sure the body stayed hidden.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You mean the defendant carried
      the body all by himself?

    Melissa:
      Y-Yes...

    Edgeworth:
      Considering the size of the
      defendant, I don't think it
      would be difficult.

    Mia:
      Yes, but... Let's remember
      they were on a narrow bridge
      that was ready to collapse!

    Mia:
      Is it even possible for him to
      have carried a dead body on
      a bridge like that...?

    Edgeworth:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Edgeworth:
      Well, the fact of the
      matter is that he DID!

    Edgeworth:
      That kind of talk is just
      silly!

    Mia:
      (Wow... Why did he get so
      emotional all of a sudden?)

    Judge:
      Ms. Fey, if you think there's
      some other possibility, please
      share it with the rest of us.

(3b)
Melissa:
 The killer broke into the
 trunk of the stolen car and
 hid the body in there.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      What did the man do then?

    Melissa:
      Well... Naturally, he got in
      the car and was about to flee.

    Melissa:
      That's... That's when I
      came to my senses.

    Melissa:
      I said to myself,
      "You have to call the police!"

    Edgeworth:
      And so that's when you
      called the police?

    Mia:
      You're sure that you saw</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
      all that with your own eyes?

    Melissa:
      Yes. I'm 100% certain.

(4)
Melissa:
 He couldn't just leave the
 body on top of the bridge.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Why do you say that? It's
      already a broken-down bridge
      hidden away in the mountains.

    Mia:
      Doing anything more to hide
      the corpse would be going
      overboard, wouldn't it?

    Melissa:
      Yes, but that mountain is
      famous among hikers.

    Melissa:
      A surprising number of
      people go up there.

    Mia:
      But it's February, right?
      And it was raining that day,
      correct?

    Melissa:
      There is also a small temple
      and a channeling dojo there.

    Melissa:
      You know those monks...
      They just love cold, isolated
      places...

    Edgeworth:
      I think the witness is trying
      to say that the corpse could
      have been found at any time...

    Edgeworth:
      Besides, the witness is
      merely reporting what she
      witnessed with her own eyes.

    Melissa:
      ...

(5)
Melissa:
 Oh, I'm sorry... I'm only
 supposed to talk about what
 I saw.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      And you're absolutely certain
      that it was my client who was
      carrying the body?

    Melissa:
      ...

    Melissa:
      Well, he was wearing a
      prisoner's uniform, but...
      as for his face...

    Judge:
      So you're saying you didn't
      get a clear look at his face?

    Melissa:
      Well, they were far away and
      it was raining as well.

    Melissa:
      I-I thought I was only
      supposed to say exactly
      what I saw...

    Judge:
      Excellent!
      You're a remarkably honest
      young woman!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (Something about this
 testimony is bothering
 me, but what...?)

Armando:
 Hey, Kitten...
 Have you ever put salt
 in your coffee?

Mia:
 No... Why would I!?

Armando:
 Why not?

Mia:
 Huh...?

Armando:
 It may actually go better
 with coffee than sugar, right?

Mia:
 ...

Armando:
 Listen. My point is if you're
 not sure, you might as well
 add a ton of salt to it.

Armando:
 It might... bring out the rust
 in something. Like a piece
 of evidence.

Mia:
 (He's right, Mia...
 Go present something.
 You've got nothing to lose!)

Armando:
 By the way, I wouldn't put
 salt in my coffee. The two
 don't go well, after all.

*Present Dusky Bridge Map* at (3)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 A killer not wanting his
 victim to be found...
 I can understand that.

Mia:
 However! The idea of moving
 the body for that purpose is
 clearly odd.

Mia:
 There was a much easier
 way to make sure the body
 wasn't found!

Edgeworth:
 ...

Judge:
 W-Well? What is it!?

Mia:
 Take another look at the
 map of the area and you'll
 see how.

Mia:
 There's a river right below
 the bridge.

Mia:
 Earlier Mr. Edgeworth pointed
 out something interesting
 about the river.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 For those who are not aware,
 Eagle River is well-known for
 its powerful current.

Edgeworth:
 Most bodies that fall in
 are never recovered...

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Ahh...

Mia:
 In the kidnapping case 5 years
 ago, the victim's body was
 carried away and never found.

Melissa:
 ...!

Mia:
 If 10 murders were to occur
 at that same spot above the
 Eagle River...

Mia:
 ...you can bet your boots that
 every other killer would have
 tossed the body in the water!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Judge:
 I'm not sure if I care
 for the way you put that,
 Ms. Fey!

Judge:
 But I must admit it does seem
 odd not to have thrown the
 body into the river!

Melissa:
 Ooooh...!

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:
 *sigh*
 How sad.

Edgeworth:
 Perhaps Ms. Fey would do
 well to try taking a dip in
 the river herself.

Edgeworth:
 After all, you claim to be
 such an expert in the ways
 of nature...

Mia:
 What are you talking about?

Edgeworth:
 My point is that no matter how
 odd you may find the killer's
 method of body-disposal...

Edgeworth:
 ...the fact is that this is
 what the killer did.

Edgeworth:
 None of your arguments have
 anything to do with what the
 witness saw.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Quite true...

Judge:
 Ms. Fey, it seems that your
 assertion is without merit
 after all.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 But what the witness claims
 to have seen is totally
 ridiculous...

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Surely you can't deny that
 the body was found in the
 trunk of the car.

Judge:
 That's certainly consistent
 with what the witness has
 told us.

Mia:
 Ugh...

Edgeworth:
 Please, witness, go on
 with your testimony.

Melissa:
 I-I'll try...

Edgeworth:
 All you have to do is
 tell us only what you saw.

Edgeworth:
 Otherwise the mean lady
 might yell at you again.

Mia:
 (Who is he talking about!?)

Melissa:
 Alright!
 I-I'll do my best!

*Present Dusky Bridge Map or Witness's Photo* at (3b)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Well, Ms. Foster...
 It looks like you've done it
 this time.

Melissa:
 ...?
 D-Done what?

Mia:
 Made a crucial mistake.

Judge:
 A c-crucial mistake?
 Like what, Ms. Fey!?

Mia:
 "The killer broke into the
 trunk of the stolen car and
 hid the body in there."

Mia:
 You're saying you saw
 that, right? With your
 very own eyes?

Melissa:
 Y-Yes... And...?

Mia:
 It's simple, Ms. Foster.
 Take a look at the diagram.

Mia:
 The place you claim to have
 taken the photo from that
 day is here.

Mia:
 Do you see what I mean?
 Even if you tried to see
 the car...

Mia:
 ...this outcropping of rock is
 directly in the way.

Melissa:
 Ah...!

Mia:
 That's right, Ms. Foster.

Mia:
 From where you were standing,
 you could not have possibly
 seen the killer's car.

Melissa:
 Aaaaah...!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 I admit that the diagram shows
 a large outcropping of rock.

Edgeworth:
 However...
 It isn't so tall that it would
 stop her from seeing the car!

Melissa:
 Th-That's right!

Melissa:
 It-It's not high at all...

Melissa:
 I-I was able to see his car
 just fine!

Mia:
 I'm so sorry...
 But that just doesn't wash.

Melissa:
 ...!

Mia:
 I believe it was the witness
 who presented this as evidence
 to the court, yes?

Mia:
 This is the location that the
 photo was taken from.

Mia:
 Your own photo tells the
 whole story!

Mia:
 You can clearly see the
 left side of the bridge...

Mia:
 But the outcropping that is
 being referred to is really
 more like a cliff.

Judge:
 Ah!

Mia:
 Your view should have been
 completely cut off by this
 cliff!

Mia:
 But still you claim to have
 been able to see the killer's
 car!

Melissa:
 ...

Melissa:
 Noooooo!

Judge:
 Or-Order! Order in the court!
 What is the meaning of all
 this ballyhoo...!?

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Your Honor...
 Don't jump to any hasty
 conclusions.

Edgeworth:
 The fact that the escapee fled
 in a stolen car was reported
 on the news.

Edgeworth:
 After witnessing a murder, I'm
 sure you can appreciate that
 the witness was very upset.

Edgeworth:
 She must have heard about the
 stolen car and convinced
 herself that she saw it.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 But she was repeatedly
 warned before starting her
 testimony!

Mia:
 She was told to testify only
 about what she saw with her
 own eyes!

Judge:
 Hmmmmm... Oh!

Melissa:
 Err... Mr. Judge?

Judge:
 Wh-What is it?

Melissa:
 I think... I think I must have
 remembered things wrong...

Mia:
 *HOLD IT!*

Mia:
 Hey! Wait a minute!
 You can't just say that...!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Ms. Fey, no one on the face
 of the planet is perfect.

Judge:
 Hmmmm... Yes, indeed...
 Quite true!
 You know what they say...

Judge:
 "To err is human,
 to forgive, divine."

Judge:
 I'm inclined to give the
 benefit of the doubt to
 our witness here.

Mia:
 What...!?
 Th-That's not fair...!

Armando:
 Ha...!
 Save the tears for
 later, Kitten!

Mia:
 M-Mr. Armando!

Armando:
 Don't look back until the
 trial is over. Now is the time
 to go forward.

Mia:
 B-But...!
 But that wasn't fair!

Armando:
 OK, Kitten, you need to
 relax. Then you need to
 remember...

Armando:
 The other kitten's
 testimony!

Melissa:
 The killer broke into the
 trunk of the stolen car and
 hid the body in there.

Armando:
 So tell us...
 How did you know that?

Armando:
 How did you know that he
 broke into the trunk?

Mia:
 Aha...!

Armando:
 Until you can explain how
 you knew that...

Armando:
 ...you're going to have a lot
 of very suspicious people on
 this side of the courtroom.

Melissa:
 ...

Judge:
 W-Well, witness?

Melissa:
 Well, I'm certain that he
 broke into the trunk.

Melissa:
 Because... Because there were
 marks left on the trunk lid.

Melissa:
 I'm certain they were scratch
 marks from when he broke
 into it...!

Judge:
 W-What...!?
 L-Let me see that photo!

Judge:
 It's true... These certainly
 look like scratch marks
 around the keyhole!

Judge:
 HMMMM...!

Judge:
 It's obvious that this trunk
 has been broken open.

Judge:
 Well, Ms. Fey?
 Are you satisfied...?

Mia:
 (The judge is on her side!
 I can't make any mistakes
 here!)

Mia:
 (What she just said...
 Is there a contradiction in
 there somewhere...?)

xxx I'll buy it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Mia:
x   (Something about it still
x   doesn't feel right, but...)
x
x Mia:
x   I, err... OK, I guess
x   I'm satisfied... Sort of.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   I hope this has cleared up
x   any doubts...
x
x Judge:
x   Indeed, I believe it has.
x
x Armando:
x   Hey Kitten, this is no time
x   to play around!
x
x Mia:

x
x Armando:
x   Overlooking such a huge
x   contradiction... What am I
x   going do with you?
x
x Mia:
x   (Contradiction...!?)
x
x Mia:
x   (So that wasn't my
x   imagination after all!)
x
x Judge:
x   Very well, let's move on
x   to the next...
x
x Mia:
x   *HOLD IT!*
x
x Mia:
x   J-Just a minute!
x
x Judge:
x   What is it now, Ms. Fey!?
x
x Mia:
x   I've got a big problem with
x   what this witness said!
x
x Judge:

Mia:
 It looks like you've finally

Melissa:
 What...!?

Mia:
 You said you were in a field
 taking photos of wild flowers.

Mia:
 But even so, you knew
 about the scratches...

Mia:
 The question is when!
 When did you get a chance
 to see those scratches!?

Melissa:
 ...

Mia:
 (Finally...!
 I've finally got her!)

Armando:
 Ha...!
 I'm getting pretty tired of
 waiting over here!

Edgeworth:
 Then perhaps it would be
 faster if Ms. Fey explained
 herself.

Mia:
 Your Honor!
 There's only one possible
 explanation!

Mia:
 The reason the witness had
 seen the scratches was...

xxx she happened to be passing by. xxxxxxxxx
x
x Mia:
x   Because she just happened
x   to be passing by the area
x   where the car was parked!
x

x
x Edgeworth:

x

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mia:
 There's only one way that
 the witness had the chance
 to see those scratches.

Judge:
 Y-Yes? What was it?

Mia:
 Naturally...

Mia:
 When she opened the trunk...
 and stuffed the corpse in
 herself!

Edgeworth:
 ...!

Mia:
 The person who really hid
 the body in the trunk of that
 car was...

Mia:
 Melissa Foster!
 It was you that did it,
 wasn't it!?

Melissa:
 Th-That's ridiculous!
 I could never...!

Melissa:
 It was the man in the
 prison garb!
 He-He's the one that...

Mia:
 I don't think so, Ms. Foster.

Mia:
 If Mr. Fawles had been the
 one that put the corpse in
 the trunk...

Mia:
 ...he would have simply used
 the car key. There was no need
 to break it open.

Melissa:
 B-But...!
 He stole the car...!

Mia:
 He stole it from a young
 couple that had been waiting
 at a red light.

Mia:
 Which means that the key
 would have still been in the
 ignition.

Melissa:
 Oh...! I-I... I see...

Mia:
 Thank you for telling us about
 the scratches, Ms. Foster.

Mia:
 Without that, we never would
 have uncovered the truth.

Mia:
 It couldn't have been
 Mr. Fawles that put the body
 in the trunk!

Melissa:
 Nooooo!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 P-Preposterous!
 To even suggest that the
 witness put the body in there!

Edgeworth:
 If that were true... then how
 do you explain the photo
 that she took?

Edgeworth:
 The corpse could only have
 been put in the trunk when
 the incident occurred.

Edgeworth:
 And we already know that
 at the time, she was taking
 photographs!

Mia:
 (Now is your chance, Mia!
 Finish this thing!)

Mia:
 On the contrary, I'm not so
 certain about that anymore,
 Mr. Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 ...!

Mia:
 There's no need to think
 too deeply about it.

Mia:
 What I'm saying is the shutter
 for this may not have been
 pushed by Ms. Foster herself!

*Present Camera*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 I don't think you can make
 a mistake about it. Take
 a look at her camera.

Mia:
 It has a timer built into it!
 Even a mini-tripod!

Judge:
 Hmmmm...!

Mia:
 Almost as if the camera
 was brought just to take
 this picture!

Melissa:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 What are you trying to
 say then, Ms. Fey!?

Edgeworth:
 That when the crime occurred,
 Ms. Foster wasn't in the field
 as she claimed!?

Mia:
 (Well, if she really did use
 the camera's auto-timer...)

Mia:
 (...then the answer is yes,
 she was somewhere else.)

Mia:
 Exactly.
 She was NOT in the field.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Would the defense
 please explain further.

Armando:
 Listen...
 This is a crucial point.

Armando:
 "Where was Ms. Foster when
 the incident occurred...?"

Armando:
 In answering that question,
 we'll also make clear
 Ms. Foster's true identity.

Judge:
 Well then, please answer
 this question.

Judge:
 Where was Melissa Foster
 when the incident on the
 bridge occurred?

xxx Present car xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

x   ...I think.
x
x Judge:
x   Hmm... In the spot where
x   the defendant's car was?
x
x Mia:
x   Yes! She had to put the body
x   in the trunk before the
x   defendant returned!
x
x Edgeworth:
x   *OBJECTION!*
x
x Edgeworth:
x   You don't mind if I ask
x   one teenie-weenie question,
x   do you, Ms. Fey...?
x
x Mia:
x   (Uh oh. He's got that
x   condescending tone in his
x   voice...)
x
x Edgeworth:
x   If she put the body in
x   the trunk at that time,
x   as you suggest...
x
x Edgeworth:
x   ...that must mean that
x   Valerie Hawthorne was already
x   dead at that point, correct?
x
x Judge:
x   Hmm, indeed.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   Please take a look at the
x   top of Dusky Bridge.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   It certainly looks to me like
x   the victim is still alive...
x   Am I mistaken?
x
x Mia:
x   Err...
x
x Edgeworth:
x   If Valerie Hawthorne was
x   already dead, then...
x   who is this?
x
x Edgeworth:
x   The mountain is famous for
x   spirits, so maybe you think it
x   was the ghost of the victim?
x
x Mia:
x   ...
x
x Mia:
x   Well, it COULD have been
x   a spirit... Right?
x
x Judge:
x   Ms. Fey! Don't waste the

x   of foolishness!
x
x Mia:
x   A-Anyway! I still maintain
x   that the witness was in a
x   different place at the time!
x

x
x Edgeworth:

Judge:
 But that's where the victim,
 Ms. Hawthorne was standing!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 Ms. Fey! What on earth...!?

Mia:
 Your Honor, if I may...

Mia:
 After parting with the
 "victim" on the bridge, the
 defendant fled by car.

Mia:
 But this would mean
 that there was no time to
 put the victim in the trunk.

Mia:
 In other words, if someone
 put the body in the trunk...

Mia:
 ...it could only have been
 before the defendant met
 the "victim"!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 How asinine!
 Of course Mr. Fawles
 met with the victim!

Edgeworth:
 The only person with the
 opportunity to have put the
 victim in the trunk...

Edgeworth:
 ...is the same man that killed
 her, Terry Fawles!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 You still don't understand,
 do you, Mr. Edgeworth?

Mia:
 By the time the witness's
 photo was taken, the victim
 was already dead...

Mia:
 The person in the photo was
 NOT Valerie Hawthorne!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 What!? I've never heard
 anything more ridiculous
 in my entire life!

Edgeworth:
 Then who exactly is the
 "victim" in this photo!?

Mia:
 It's obvious, isn't it?
 It's your own witness.

Melissa:
 ...!

Judge:
 Wh-Wh-Whaaaat...!?

Mia:
 It's the only possible
 explanation.

Mia:
 The woman that Mr. Fawles
 met on the bridge that day was
 not Valerie Hawthorne!

Mia:
 It was you!
 Melissa Foster!

Melissa:
 M-M-Me...!?

Mia:
 Let's remember that it was
 raining and foggy on the
 mountain that day.

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles himself believed
 that the woman in front of
 him was Valerie Hawthorne!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 But the defendant knew
 Valerie Hawthorne very well!

Edgeworth:
 After all, she was the woman
 whose testimony helped get
 him convicted!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia
 But since then, my client has
 spent five hard years in a
 federal penitentiary!

Mia:
 He couldn't remember exactly
 what she looked like anymore!

Edgeworth:
 You are just making this
 up as you go along!
 Where's your proof!?

Mia:
 (I've got it all right here!
 This piece of evidence will
 blow this case wide open...!)

Mia:
 At the time of the incident,
 Mr. Fawles had forgotten what
 Valerie Hawthorne looked like!

*Present Victim's Note or Scarf*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles had forgotten
 the victim's face.

Mia:
 That's why he needed some
 piece of identification.
 Namely, this muddy scarf!

Melissa:
 Ah...!

Mia:
 It was Mr. Fawles who
 requested that she wear this
 scarf to identify herself.

Mia:
 That's already been proven
 by the note the victim left!

Edgeworth:
 ...

Mia:
 In other words, as long as
 you were wearing a scarf
 like he asked...

Mia:

 to be Valerie Hawthorne!

Edgeworth:

Judge:
 Hmmmmm...

Mia:

 Melissa Foster did it.)

Mia:
 (She hid the body in the
 trunk and disguised herself
 as the victim...)

Mia:
 (She set up the camera to
 snap a fake photo of them
 together...)

Armando:
 The only question is...
 why did she do it...?

Mia
 Well, isn't that obvious?

Mia:
 She's the true criminal!

Armando:
 Ha...!

Judge:
 Well, we'll have to wait for
 Ms. Foster to compose
 herself before we start again.

Judge:
 Until then, this court is
 in recess.

Judge:
 The defense and the
 prosecution are instructed
 to wait in the lobby.

Mia:
 Yes, Your Honor.

Edgeworth:
 Understood.

Judge:
 Very well!
 This court is in recess!

 I'm sorry! I-I'm sorry!

Fawles:
 I wanna say thanks.
 You're real good!
 You really hooked me up!

Mia:
 Thanks! We're almost there!
 Once I prove that she
 committed the crime...

Armando:
 ...Yeah, but there's one more
 big obstacle we've got to
 get past.

Mia:
 Ob-Obstacle...?

Armando:
 Yeah. Motive.
 Why would Melissa Foster
 kill that policewoman anyway?

Mia:
 (Motive, huh...)

Armando:
 Anyway... We're still badly
 in need of information.

Mia:
 Information... Right...

Armando:
 What we need the most
 is info about this
 Melissa Foster herself.

Armando:
 All we know is that she's
 a student studying
 literature.

Armando:
 And one more thing.

Mia:
 ...What is it?

Armando:
 Well, the incident that
 happened 5 years ago,
 of course.

Armando:
 The kidnapping-murder case
 that Zebra Boy is on
 death row for...

Fawles:
 I din't do nuttin'!
 I din't kill nobody!
 I never lie!

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles! In that case...
 Tell us more about it.

Mia:
 ...About what happened
 5 years ago.

Fawles:
 ...

Fawles:
 OK.
 I trust you.

Fawles:
 That day. 5 years ago.
 I dream of it. Every day.

Fawles:
 This picture.
 It reminds me everything.

Fawles:
 Bridge looks same.
 Just like then...
 5 years ago...

Fawles:
 Like it could fall apart...
 Fall apart any minute...

Mia:
 (So it's been broken like
 that for at least 5 years...)

Armando:
 Ha...! Sorry buddy, but you
 sound like the one that could
 fall apart at any minute.

Fawles:
 It true. I did...
 ...I did kidnap her.

Fawles:
 ...Five years ago.
 I kidnapped. My girlfriend.
 Dahlia Hawthorne.

Mia:
 Y-Your g-girlfriend?
 Huh...?

Armando:
 Hey, hold on there!
 Did you say, "Hawthorne"!?

Mia:
 (The victim's last name...!)

Fawles:
 Dahlia Hawthorne...
 Valerie's little sister.

Mia:
 Wh-Wh-Whaaat!? Are you
 serious!?

--------------------------------------------

 The girl... Let her go!

 Shut up!
 C-Come closer...
 And I kill her!

 Sorry, but you're not going
 to get the chance...

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (The detective back then
 was Valerie Hawthorne!)

Mia:
 At first I thought shooting
 someone for a kidnapping was
 crossing the line, but...

Mia:
 If it was to protect her
 little sister, I can
 understand why she did it...

Fawles:
 Wrong! No protect sister!
 Valerie betray me! Betray us!

Mia:
 What do you mean she
 betrayed you!?

Fawles:
 Everything. All lies.
 All make-believe.
 Kidnapping, too...

Mia:
 A make-believe kidnapping?

Fawles:
 Dahlia. My girlfriend.
 My love. My Teen Angel.

Mia:
 (Ugh. Did he actually say,
 "My Teen Angel"? He's seen
 one too many soap operas.)

Fawles:
 I do anything she says.
 Anything Dahlia says...

Mia:
 ("Anything Dahlia says"...?)
 H-Hold on a minute!

Mia:
 What you're saying is that
 the kidnapping 5 years ago
 was planned by...

Fawles:
 Yeah. Me and Dahlia...
 ...And Valerie, too.

Mia:
 (Valerie was in on it!?)

Fawles:
 Dahlia's family rich. Jewelry
 business. We get one jewel...
 That's what we thought...

Fawles:
 Me and Dahlia wrote kidnap
 note. We send to her dad.

Fawles:
 Asked for 2 million dollar
 diamond. Tell him make
 exchange on Dusky Bridge.

Fawles:
 ...We tell him Valerie make
 transfer 'cause she new
 detective.

Armando:
 Having a police detective
 in your pocket is a useful
 thing alright.

Armando:
 In the end, you were planning
 on splitting the 2 million
 three ways, huh...

Fawles:
 Yeah, but!
 That woman!

Fawles:
 That woman!
 Valerie!
 She do it for real!

Fawles:
 She shoot at me for real!
 Me and Dahlia!

         *BANG!*

Fawles:
 I was shot in arm.
 Dahlia... She jump in river.

Mia:
 Jump...?
 You don't mean she jumped
 on purpose, do you?

Fawles:
 I couldn't do it!
 I could never push her...!

Fawles:
 Anyway, I blacked out...
 Wake up with police all over.

Armando:
 ...And that's when they
 decided to give you the
 death sentence.

Fawles:
 I couldn't believe it.
 That woman. She betrayed me.

--------------------------------------------

Valerie:
 That man... Terry Fawles...
 He killed her!
 He threw her off the bridge!

Valerie:
 He threw my beloved sister
 into the roaring river
 40 feet below!

--------------------------------------------

Fawles:
 ...These 5 years...
 All I wonder is... Why!
 ...Why! ...Why! ...Why!

Fawles:
 Why did she lie!?
 That's all I want to know!

Armando:
 So that's why you called her.
 You wanted to hear the truth
 from Valerie herself.

Fawles:
 Yes... but I forget what she
 look like. So I tell her
 to wear scarf.

Fawles:
 I don't want to hurt her!
 ...Just ask why!

Fawles:
 Why! Why did you lie...?
 Why did you betray me...?

Fawles:
 I just want to hear answer
 come from her mouth.
 That's all!

Mia:
 (So that's why...
 That's why you made a crazy
 escape like that...)

Armando:
 Just one thing, Zebra Boy...

Armando:
 My senses are tingling all
 over. Tell me, Mr. Fawles...
 Where is it?

Mia:
 ...Huh? Where's what?

Armando:
 Come on now, Kitten...
 The ransom.
 The 2 million dollar diamond.

Armando:
 Remember that now?
 Did you give it back to Pops?
 Did the police take it?

Fawles:
 ...I dunno.

Mia:
 Huh? You don't know?

Fawles:
 No really. I dunno.
 It's gone. With Dahlia.

Mia:
 ...With Dahlia?

Fawles:
 That day. On the bridge...

Fawles:
 Dahlia put it. In backpack...

Fawles:
 Now gone. With Dahlia.
 Gone... Forever...

Fawles:
 Into Eagle River...

Mia:
 (It disappeared with
 Dahlia, huh...?
 Wait a minute...!)

Bailiff:
 ...You can come back in now!
 We're about ready to go!

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles!
 Just one more question!

Mia:
 When you said, "with Dahlia",
 do you mean the diamond is
 still missing...?

Mia:
 Along with the body of
 Dahlia Hawthorne?

Fawles:
 ...

Fawles:
 Never found her...
 My sweet Dahlia...

Mia:
 (They never found her...!)

Fawles:
 Swallowed by river... Gone...
 Dahlia... My Teen Angel...

Armando:
 Your "Teen Angel"...?
 How old was she anyway?

Fawles:
 Just 14...

Mia:
 F-F-Fourteen!?
 (I guess you were robbing
 cradles before diamonds...)

Armando:
 She plans a fake kidnapping
 and disappears into the river
 with a rock worth 2 mil...

Armando:
 Man oh man...
 Angels these days.

Mia:
 (Fawles takes the fall...
 And gets a one-way ticket
 to Death Row...)

Mia:
 (Is Dahlia Hawthorne an
 angel or is she really a...)

Armando:
 ...It's time, Kitten.
 It looks like we have a few
 more aces up our sleeve now.

Mia:
 ...You bet!

*Diamond added to the
Court Record.*

Armando:
 The training wheels come off
 now, Mia! You've got to
 strike while the iron is hot!

Armando:
 That's one of my rules.
 Remember it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 16, 1:49 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4

Judge:
 Now then, let's continue with
 the trial of Mr. Terry Fawles.

Judge:
 ...Witness.
 Are you feeling better?

Melissa:
 Y-Yes, Your Honor...
 I-I'll try my best.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 You're a brave young lady.

Mia:
 (Not this again...)

Edgeworth:
 I can understand a defense
 lawyer wanting to get her
 client off the hook...

Edgeworth:
 However!
 To try to pin the crime on
 an innocent student is...

Mia:
 What are you talking about!?

Edgeworth:
 My witness is not the person
 on trial here.

Edgeworth:
 She's an innocent bystander
 who witnessed a violent crime.
 ...That's all.

Edgeworth:
 What possible reason would
 a girl like this have for
 murdering a policewoman!

Judge:
 Hmm...
 It's certainly hard to imagine
 this woman as a murderer...

Mia:
 (Her motive, huh...
 I figured that's what I had
 to establish next...)

Judge:
 Well, Ms. Fey?
 Do you have any evidence
 of a motive?

Mia:
 ...
 Err, yes! Of course!
 ...I think.

Armando:
 Hah...!
 You're still acting as tame as
 a kitten... Kitten.

Mia:
 Mr. Armando...

Armando:
 Listen...
 A lawyer is someone who smiles
 no matter how bad it gets.

Mia:
 ...!

Armando:
 Smiling on the outside while
 your guts are twisted in knots
 is the mark of a pro.

Mia:
 ...Maybe so, but I wish you
 would quit grinning at me
 like that.

Melissa:
 Umm... Excuse me...
 May I speak, Mr. Judge?

Judge:
 Of course!
 Mr. Judge is ready
 anytime you like!

Melissa:
 I'd like... I'd like to
 say something.

Melissa:
 Some people here are
 suspicious of me, right?
 Th-That's why...

Melissa:
 I... I at least wanted you,
 Mr. Judge, to know that it's
 not true...

Judge:
 Hmmmmm!
 I see! You're such an honest
 and upstanding young lady.

Armando:
 It looks like this witness
 is a real professional.

Mia:
 Wh-What do you mean!?

Armando:
 Look at that 100-watt smile.

Armando:
 ...Just when things are
 darkest for her... CLICK.
 She lights right up!

Judge:
 Very well then! Let's hear
 what the witness has to say!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Melissa Foster's History --

(1)
Melissa:
 I... I was out of the country
 until the year before last.

(2)
Melissa:
 Until I entered college, I
 had never even been to
 Eagle Mountain before...

(3)
Melissa:
 And I certainly don't have any
 reason for wanting to hurt a
 police officer.

(4)
Melissa:
 Holding a grudge and killing
 the officer who testified
 against you 5 years ago...

(5)
Melissa:
 Or kidnapping a poor girl...
 I just think the defendant is
 a terrible, horrible monster!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Out of the country, eh...

Edgeworth:
 Precisely.

Edgeworth:
 Furthermore, she has
 no possible motive for
 committing murder.

Judge:
 Hmm, indeed...

Armando:
 You're up to bat, Kitten.
 Sharpen those claws and
 put on your best smile.

Mia:
 Y-You bet!

Mia:
 (Somehow, I have to tie her
 to this case...)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Melissa Foster's History --

(1)
Melissa:
 I... I was out of the country
 until the year before last.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So, what country were
      you living in then?

    Melissa:
      We were all living abroad,
      but after my parents were
      killed...

    Edgeworth:
      It was a brutal civil war.
      She had to try to make her way
      back home alone...

    Melissa:
      I lost everything...
      I didn't even have any
      personal identification...

    Mia:
      (What kind of sob story
      is this...?)

    Mia:
      (...What do I do? Should
      I press her for details?)

    *** Wait and see ***************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (There's nothing I can do
    *   about her claim to have
    *   lost all her identification.)
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (All I can do is wait to
    *   find some other evidence
    *   about her real identity.)
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Very well then, Ms. Foster.
    *   Please proceed.
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Press her harder ***********************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   ...Witness.
    *   Answer my question.
    *
    * Mia:
    *   I'll even repeat it for you.
    *   What country were you in?
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   *OBJECTION!*
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Your Honor, this line of
    *   questioning is childish.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   What country she was in and
    *   how many languages she may
    *   speak are irrelevant here.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   What we're here to evaluate is
    *   whether this witness has any
    *   connection to this case.
    *
    * Melissa:
    *   I've lived abroad ever since
    *   I was a little girl...
    *
    * Melissa:
    *   That's why I could never
    *   have known Mr. Fawles or
    *   Detective Hawthorne.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Yes... I think we've
    *   established that point.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Yes, indeed.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Well then. Shall we add
    *   what you've just stated to
    *   the official testimony?
    *
    * Melissa:
    *   Yes, please.
    *   ...Mr. Judge.
    *
    * ADD STATEMENT (1b)
    *
    ********************************************

(1b)
Melissa:
 Naturally, I didn't know
 either the victim or
 the defendant.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You didn't know either person?
      Are you certain of that?

    Melissa:
      Yes. I'm afraid I'm rather
      shy around people.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      Oh well, that can't be helped.

    Mia:
      (Why is he just agreeing with
      everything that comes out of
      her mouth...?)

    Judge:
      The first time you saw either
      of them was when they
      were on the bridge, correct?

    Melissa:
      Yes... It really was
      a coincidence.

(2)
Melissa:
 Until I entered college, I
 had never even been to
 Eagle Mountain before...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      So what made you decide to
      go to Eagle Mountain anyway?

    Melissa:
      I just love being outdoors...
      Picnics, hiking... You know,
      that sort of thing.

    Mia:
      (...You don't look like much
      of a hiker to me. But you do
      look like a digger of sorts.)

    Mia:
      But Eagle Mountain is a
      two-hour drive from here and
      no trains run through there.

    Mia:
      There are plenty of mountains
      that are closer and easier to
      get to.

    Melissa:
      Well, I went there once with
      the college Hiking Club.

    Melissa:
      I fell in love with its stark,
      desolate beauty and its cold,
      yet romantic, gloominess...

    Mia:
      (Didn't know you were such
      a goth...)

    Mia:
      By the way, what's the name
      of your college...?

    Edgeworth:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Edgeworth:
      The prosecution objects to
      any questions that involve
      the witness's private life.

    Mia:
      ...!

    Edgeworth:
      All that matters is that
      she is a material witness
      to a crime.

    Edgeworth:
      The witness doesn't need to
      respond to questions that are
      clearly malicious in intent.

    Melissa:
      Thank you!
      She's really gone too far...!

    Judge:
      Hmmmmm!
      Ms. Fey! You're treading on
      thin ice here!

    Mia:
      (I hardly said anything!
      Talk about sensitive...)

(3)
Melissa:
 And I certainly don't have any
 reason for wanting to hurt a
 police officer.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Perhaps, but your behavior
      that day was very suspicious!

    Mia:
      Not only have you contradicted
      yourself here in court, but
      you know things you shouldn't.

    Mia:
      For example, the scratches
      on the trunk of the car.

    Melissa:
      Well th-that's...

    Edgeworth:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Edgeworth:
      Unfortunately Ms. Fey,
      your last statement proves
      nothing.

    Mia:
      Oh really!? And why is that?

    Edgeworth:
      The witness came to the
      police station once to
      identify the suspect.

    Edgeworth:
      It's entirely possible that,
      at that time, an officer
      showed her this photo.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      That seems like a
      rather serious mistake.

    Armando:
      Ha...!
      That's the oldest trick
      in the prosecutor's book.

    Mia:
      Th-That's not fair...!

    Melissa:
      That wicked inmate...
      I'll never be able to
      forget that horrible day...

(4)
Melissa:
 Holding a grudge and killing
 the officer who testified
 against you 5 years ago...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      A grudge...?

    Melissa:
      Well, the policewoman's
      testimony was crucial,
      wasn't it?

    Melissa:
      ...Crucial in getting the
      defendant sentenced to death.

    Edgeworth:
      Yes, and that's precisely
      why he harbored such deep
      anger against her.

    Edgeworth:
      So much anger that he
      forgot his own guilt...

    Mia:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Mia:
      My client has always
      maintained that he's innocent
      of those charges!

    Melissa:
      He seems rather forgetful.
      ...Your client, I mean.

    Mia:
      ...!

    Melissa:
      Not only did he forget about
      what he did, but he forgot the
      poor policewoman as well.

    Mia:
      What do you mean by that?

    Melissa:
      Your client...
      He forgot what the
      detective looked like, right?

    Melissa:
      It's too bad for her that he
      didn't forget about her
      testimony as well.

    Mia:
      (Well, she's right about that.
      Mr. Fawles is kind of
      forgetful...)

    *** Wait and see ***************************
    *
    * CONTINUE

    ********************************************

    *** Press harder ***************************
    *
    * Mia:
    *   You said, "he forgot what
    *   the detective looked like."
    *   What did you mean by that?
    *
    * Melissa:
    *   Well he couldn't tell who
    *   she was without some kind of
    *   identification, right?
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Quite right... That's why the
    *   victim was wearing a scarf
    *   as identification.
    *
    * Melissa:
    *   Why, if I had been wearing a
    *   white scarf that day...
    *
    * Melissa:
    *   ...then he probably would
    *   have tried to kill me...
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Hmm...
    *   That's true.
    *   He's clearly a bitter man!
    *
    * Mia:
    *   (This is bad. Mr. Fawles's
    *   reputation just keeps getting
    *   worse and worse.)

    * Mia:

    * *   important!

    * * Mia:
    * *   I'd like it added to the
    * *   official testimony!
    * *
    * * Edgeworth:
    * *   The prosecution has no

    * *
    * * Edgeworth:
    * *   After all, the defendant is
    * *   a killer and a mentally
    * *   unbalanced one at that...
    * *
    * * Edgeworth:

    Mia:
      (Any more damage to my

      disaster...)

    Mia:
      (The judge already has a
      bad enough opinion of him...)

    Judge:
      You just can't trust someone
      with a bad memory.

    Judge:
      What did you eat for dinner
      one week ago today?

    Judge:
      ...At the very least, a person
      should remember that much.

    Judge:
      As for me, it was payday, so
      I had a nice moose steak with
      some poutine on the side.

    Mia:
      (...And how does this relate
      to anything!?)

    Edgeworth:
      Whether it's eating steak
      or committing murder, a person
      shouldn't deny their actions.

    Edgeworth:
      I'm in complete agreement,
      Your Honor.

(4b)
Melissa:
 I guess I'm lucky I wasn't
 wearing a white scarf.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      What do you mean by lucky?

    Melissa:
      Well... It's February now.
      Everyone is wearing scarves.

    Melissa:
      If I had accidentally worn
      a white scarf like he said...

    Edgeworth:
      Then you yourself might
      have been killed.

    Judge:
      Hmmmmm... That would've
      been a terrible loss for
      this world!

    Armando:
      Ha...!
      It looks like you pressed
      too hard this time, Kitten.

    Mia:
      Mr. Armando...

    Armando:
      Keep looking around you and
      you're going to lose sight of
      the finish line.

    Armando:
      Justice is blind, but she's
      not deaf. Sometimes you have
      to know when not to talk.

Melissa:
 Or kidnapping a poor girl...
 I just think the defendant is
 a terrible, horrible monster!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You knew about that incident?

    Mia:
      But weren't you out of
      the country until the
      year before last?

    Melissa:
      Well, I saw a report about
      the escaped convict on the
      news.

    Melissa:
      They had an in-depth report
      about his whole history.

    Judge:
      So you were still living
      abroad 5 years ago, is
      that right?

    Melissa:
      Yes...

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (I can't let her get away
 with these lies...!)

Armando:
 Listen to me. She's neck-deep
 in this whole thing...

Armando:
 Somehow, you're just going to
 have to get her to show the
 court her true self.

* Judge:

* Melissa:
*   Y-Yes! That's it!
*   The scarf the policewoman
*   was wearing...
*
* Mia:
*   (I've got her now, just
*   don't mess up...)
*
* Mia:
*   ...But that's strange.
*
* Mia:
*   In your testimony, you

*
* Mia:
*   "I guess I'm lucky I wasn't
*   wearing a white scarf."
*
* Judge:
*   Wh-White?
*
* Mia:
*   ...This is the scarf you
*   identified as belonging to
*   the victim.
*
* Mia:
*   But it certainly doesn't look

*
* Melissa:
*   Oh...!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   *OBJECTION!*
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Well, it was foggy that day...
*   And it was raining as well!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It's not surprising that
*   she mistook it for white!
*
* Mia:
*   *OBJECTION!*
*
* Mia:
*   Sorry, but not this time.
*
* Mia:
*   The witness just confirmed
*   that this was the victim's
*   scarf!
*
* Judge:
*   Yes, but...
*   What's the significance...?
*
* Judge:
*   It's true that the scarf
*   doesn't look white, but...
*
* Mia:
*   There's only one explanation
*   for this mix-up!
*
* Mia:
*   The reason why the witness
*   thought the scarf was
*   white is...!

*
* Melissa:
*   She used her own scarf

*Present Dahlia Hawthorne profile*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 And that person is...
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Judge:
 Dahlia Hawthorne...?
 I've never heard that name
 before.

Mia:
 Look at the victim's note.
 This is what it says...

Mia:
 "Talk to Dahlia. Tell her this
 time..." There is her name,
 right there.

Judge:
 Wh-What's this...
 So who is this person!?
 This... Dahlia Hawthorne...

Edgeworth:
 *sigh*...

Edgeworth:
 Ms. Fey must be desperate
 if she's trying to bring the
 dead back to life.

Judge:
 The d-dead...?

Edgeworth:
 Dahlia Hawthorne was
 the victim's deceased
 younger sister.

Edgeworth:
 She was killed in a crime
 5 years ago.

Judge:
 Killed in a crime...?
 Y-You don't mean...!?

Edgeworth:
 Yes. She was kidnapped...
 And killed. By Terry Fawles!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 You said she was "killed"...
 But was she really?

Edgeworth:
 What are you implying...?

Mia:
 Of course, people thought
 she had died 5 years ago...

Mia:
 ...when she fell off of
 Dusky Bridge and was lost
 in the Eagle River.

Mia:
 However!
 Her corpse was never found!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 She was declared legally
 dead 5 years ago!

Edgeworth:
 As far as the law is
 concerned, Dahlia Hawthorne
 is officially dead.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 But the fact remains that her
 body was never recovered!

Mia:
 Dahlia Hawthorne was
 14 years old, 5 years ago.

Mia:
 If she were still alive,
 she would be 19 now.

Mia:
 ...Melissa Foster.

Mia:
 I believe that's the same
 age you are!

Melissa:
 Ah...!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Even you couldn't...!
 Ms. Fey...!
 You're not saying...!

Mia:
 But I am.
 That's precisely what
 I'm saying.

Mia:
 This "witness" before us is
 the girl that was kidnapped
 and killed 5 years ago!

Mia:
 This girl is in fact
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne!

Judge:
 WHA...!
 WHAAAAAAT!

Armando:
 Ha...! Nice work...
 That was like tossing a
 grenade into a 3-alarm fire!

Armando:
 But unless you can tie all
 the loose ends together...

Armando:
 ...you're nothing but a
 hit-and-run arsonist.

Mia:
 I... I understand.

Mia:
 (If I can expose her true
 nature, I can turn this whole
 case on its head!)

Mia:
 (Now is my chance to make
 Mr. Edgeworth squirm...!)

Judge:
 Hmm... Hmm... Hmmm...

Judge:
 Witness!
 Just who are you anyway!?

Melissa:
 I... I... I'm...

Edgeworth:
 I didn't think it'd come
 to this.

Edgeworth:
 That's enough...
 You don't have to say anymore,
 witness.

Melissa:
 ...
 Yes.
 I understand.

Judge:
 Wh-What!
 Mr. Edgeworth!
 Explain yourself!

Edgeworth:
 Your Honor.
 I have an admission to make.

Edgeworth:
 I honestly never thought the
 defense would pursue the
 matter this far...

Judge:
 You don't...!
 You don't mean...!

Edgeworth:
 ...Yes. The prosecutor's
 office isn't filled with
 fools, you know.

Edgeworth:
 Naturally, we conduct full
 background checks on all
 of our witnesses.

Mia:
 Wh-What did he say...?

Armando:
 Ha...!
 It looks like the kid knew.

Armando:
 He knew her true identity
 from the get-go.

Mia:
 No way...!
 But then why...!

Armando:
 If you hadn't revealed her
 secret, he wasn't going to
 say anything about it.

Armando:
 All he wanted was her
 testimony, so he made
 a little trade.

Edgeworth:
 Let me introduce you to...

Edgeworth:
 ...the victim's younger
 sister, Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne.

Judge:
 But... But...
 I thought she died 5 years
 ago...?

Edgeworth:
 We thought so as well...
 But... Well, as you can see...

Mia:
 Why!? Why did she hide
 her identity for 5 years!?

Edgeworth:
 That has nothing to
 do with the current case.

Edgeworth:
 She was merely an accidental
 witness to a crime...

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Accidental...?
 I don't believe that for
 a minute!

Mia:
 For the last 5 years, she's
 been playing the role of
 victim!

Mia:
 And now we find her acting
 suspiciously at another murder
 scene!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Really, Ms. Fey!
 Your strategy is
 clearly obvious.

Edgeworth:
 You're trying to pin your
 client's crime on an innocent
 witness in order to win...

Edgeworth:
 ...At any cost.

Mia:
 H-How dare you!

Edgeworth:
 Please, let us take a moment
 to think.

Edgeworth:
 Five years ago, this girl was
 kidnapped and nearly killed.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Edgeworth:
 But even worse than that...
 5 years later...

Edgeworth:
 ...Dahlia Hawthorne lost
 something much more
 precious. Her big sister.

Edgeworth:
 Ms. Fey must be insane to
 even suggest that she
 murdered her.

Mia:
 Whaaaaat!?

Judge:
 ...I'm inclined to agree
 with the prosecutor's logic.

Judge:
 Ms. Fey!
 Do you have any evidence
 to back up your assertion!?

Judge:
 What possible reason would
 this witness have for killing
 her beloved sister!?

Mia:
 W-Well you see...

Mia:
 (I thought I was winning,
 but somehow he's turned it
 around on me!)

Armando:
 Ha...!

Armando:
 I think you need a little
 push in the right
 direction, Kitten...

 The defense is prepared
 to present evidence
 supporting our claim!

Mia:
 Ah! That wasn't me!
 It was this guy...
 This crazy coffee addict...

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 I think we've heard enough
 empty threats from you,
 old man.

Armando:
 Ha...!
 What makes you think
 they're empty, boy?

Edgeworth:
 Because your protégé looks
 like she's sweating bullets!

Mia:
 Ah...!
 (I AM sweating bullets!)

Armando:
 ...You think you're in a
 tough spot, huh?

Mia:
 Of course! Aren't I?

Armando:
 ...No. You've just arrived
 at the moment of truth,
 that's all.

Armando:
 Whether you win or lose...
 That's up to you.

Mia:
 (Up to me...?)

Edgeworth:
 *sigh*...
 The rashness of youth.
 How charming.

Mia:
 (This coming from someone
 younger than me!)

Judge:
 Now then, let's not waste
 any more time.
 ...Ms. Fey.

Judge:
 What motive would this witness
 have for murdering her own
 sister, Valerie Hawthorne?

*Present Victim's Note*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 ...The story starts after
 Terry Fawles escaped.

Mia:
 He called Valerie and
 told her he wanted to meet.
 This is the note she left...

Mia:
 It says, "Talk to Dahlia.
 Tell her this time, the
 whole truth must come out."

Mia:
 ...Valerie Hawthorne gave
 Dahlia a warning.

Mia:
 She told her she was going
 to reveal to the world the
 whole truth.

Judge:
 The whole truth...?

Mia:
 There was a dangerously
 important secret between
 Valerie and Dahlia.

Mia:
 That's the reason Dahlia felt
 she had to kill Valerie...

Mia:
 To keep her mouth shut
 permanently!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 A terrific story, Ms. Fey!
 If you like fiction, that is.

Edgeworth:
 Enlighten the court, Ms. Fey.
 What was this secret that
 was so important?

Edgeworth:
 Where's your evidence!?

Armando:
 Dahlia and Valerie Hawthorne,
 and Terry Fawles...

Armando:
 There's only one
 important secret that
 connects them all...

Mia:
 Oh, yes... I know this secret.

Mia:
 ...Your Honor!
 The defense would like to
 request further testimony.

Judge:
 Wh-What testimony?

Mia:
 Regarding the kidnapping
 5 years ago. We believe it
 will explain a lot of things.

Mia:
 Such as the nature of the
 important secret between
 the Hawthorne sisters!

Dahlia:
 Ugh...!

Judge:
 ...Very well.
 I'll grant your request for
 further testimony.

Judge:
 I know it will be painful for
 you, but can enlighten us once
 more, my little maple leaf?

Dahlia:
 Y-Yes, I-I'll try.
 Mr. Judge...

Mia:
 (Putting on the old charm
 one more time, Dahlia?)

Mia:
 (But this will be the last
 time you hide behind your
 womanly wiles!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- 5 Years Ago --

(1)
Dahlia:
 Five years ago, I was
 kidnapped by Mr. Fawles.

(2)
Dahlia:
 The ransom price was a raw
 diamond. My sister, Valerie,
 brought it to the bridge...

(3)
Dahlia:
 After she made the exchange,
 she shot Mr. Fawles in
 the arm!

(4)
Dahlia:
 That's when Mr. Fawles tried
 to kill me by shoving me off
 the bridge from behind!

(5)
Dahlia:
 I survived, but I was afraid I
 might be kidnapped again
 for my family's money...

(6)
Dahlia:
 So I decided to change
 my identity and start
 a new life...

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmmm...

Edgeworth:
 ...The kidnapping left her
 emotionally scarred.

Edgeworth:
 With her sister's help, she
 left the Hawthorne family and
 started all over again.

Edgeworth:
 And we're to believe after
 all that, she murdered her
 sister? Preposterous!

Judge:
 Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.
 ...Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 Y-Yes, Your Honor.

Judge:
 As you've heard, the witness
 is still traumatized from
 the kidnapping.

Judge:
 ...I'll ask you again to be
 extremely gentle in your
 cross-examination.

Mia:
 (...Mr. Edgeworth got the jump
 on me again...)

Armando:
 Ha...!
 If we're not allowed to fight,
 then let's twist some arms.

Armando:
 ...Listen up.
 We've still got that info...
 That ace up our sleeve.

Mia:
 ...What info?

Armando:
 Come on, Kitten.
 Don't say you've forgotten
 already.

Armando:
 The fact that the kidnapping
 5 years ago was staged!

Mia:
 (That's right, it was a fake
 kidnapping! Terry Fawles
 told us that in the lobby.)

--------------------------------------------

Fawles:
 I do anything she says.
 Anything Dahlia says...

Mia:
 What you're saying is that
 the kidnapping 5 years ago
 was planned by...

Fawles:
 Yeah. Me and Dahlia...
 ...And Valerie, too.

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 (Yes! That's it!
 The fake kidnapping is your
 best shot, Mia!)

Mia:
 (That's her secret!)

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- 5 Years Ago --

(1)
Dahlia:
 Five years ago, I was
 kidnapped by Mr. Fawles.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Did you and Mr. Fawles
      have a relationship?

    Dahlia:
      ...Y-Yes.
      As a tutor...

    Mia:
      You were tutoring him?
      Mr. Fawles?

    Dahlia:
      N-No, of course not!
      Don't be ridiculous!

    Dahlia:
      Mr. Fawles came to the house
      to tutor ME!

    Mia:
      (That makes sense... 5 years
      ago, she was only 14.)

    Edgeworth:
      He probably came up with
      the kidnapping plan during
      that time.

    Edgeworth:
      The Hawthornes are in the
      jewelry trade and are quite
      wealthy, you see.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      Quite the clever fellow, that
      Mr. Fawles.

    Mia:
      (Did I hear him right!?
      Did he just call Mr. Fawles
      a clever fellow?)

(2)
Dahlia:
 The ransom price was a raw
 diamond. My sister, Valerie,
 brought it to the bridge...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      I heard the diamond is valued
      in the neighboorhood of
      2 million dollars.

    Judge:
      2 million dollars!?

    Dahlia:
      It was still uncut, so
      it was about the size of
      a pint of milk.

    Judge:
      HMMMMM!!!

    Judge:
      A 2 million dollar pint
      of milk... I don't know what
      to think about that!

    Edgeworth:
      The defendant demanded
      that her sister, Valerie,
      make the exchange.

    Edgeworth:
      Not as a detective,
      of course, but as an
      individual.

    Mia:
      By the way, I want to ask
      you, Mr. Edgeworth.

    Mia:
      Why do you think he wanted
      to make the exchange up
      there on that mountain?

    Mia:
      If he ever got surrounded,
      it would be hard to escape...

    Edgeworth:
      There's one thing a kidnapper
      wants to prevent, and that's
      police involvement.

    Edgeworth:
      In a place like that, it
      would be easy to tell if
      he was being followed.

    Edgeworth:
      With only one entrance to
      the mountain, he was
      ensuring his safety.

    Dahlia:
      What a wickedly clever man
      that Mr. Fawles is...

    Mia:
      (Yeah, right.
      It was all YOUR plan...)

    Dahlia:
      Anyway, Valerie brought the
      diamond to the mountain and...

(3)
Dahlia:
 After she made the exchange,
 she shot Mr. Fawles in
 the arm!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      That was a dangerous thing
      to do considering you were
      being held hostage.

    Dahlia:
      Yes, but...
      Actually, that saved my life.

    Judge:
      What do you mean?

    Dahlia:
      You see, Mr. Fawles was
      holding a knife in his
      right hand...

    Dahlia:
      Somehow, I just KNEW
      he was going to use it.

    Dahlia:
      I knew he was going to
      use that knife to kill me!

    Mia:
      ...!

    Dahlia:
      That's why my sister shot him!
      It was to save me!

(4)
Dahlia:
 That's when Mr. Fawles tried
 to kill me by shoving me off
 the bridge from behind!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      I'd like to hear more about
      what happened right at
      that moment!

    Dahlia:
      Well, when Mr. Fawles was
      shot in the right arm, he let
      go of me...

    Dahlia:
      I-I was dazed. I turned to try
      and run away, but Mr. Fawles
      turned to grab me as well...

    Dahlia:
      As I ran past, he and I locked
      eyes for a second, and he gave
      me a large, bloodthirsty grin.

    Judge:
      B-Bloodthirsty grin...
      Oooh...

    Dahlia:
      And in the next instant...

    Edgeworth:
      I advise the court to remember
      that the river is 18 feet deep
      and incredibly swift...

    Dahlia:
      I-I was a strong swimmer,
      but I was knocked out...

    Dahlia:
      When I came to, I had been
      carried away by the river
      to a strange place.

    Dahlia:
      I'll never forget that day.

    Dahlia:
      The crumbling bridge,
      nowhere to run...

    Dahlia:
      Then just one little shove
      from behind. That was it.

    Dahlia:
      Before my sister could
      catch me...
      ...I fell into the river.

(5)
Dahlia:
 I survived, but I was afraid I
 might be kidnapped again
 for my family's money...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      And that's why you
      hid your identity?

    Dahlia:
      Yes...
      I only told my sister.

    Judge:
      Valerie Hawthorne, eh.

    Dahlia:
      Yes, she's the only one who
      knew about me.

    Edgeworth:
      Meanwhile, legally, this
      witness has been deceased
      for 5 years.

    Dahlia:
      I... I didn't ever want
      something like that to
      happen to me again.

(6)
Dahlia:
 So I decided to change
 my identity and start
 a new life...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      And that new identity was
      "Melissa Foster", right?

    Dahlia:
      Yes, my sister helped me get
      the official paperwork
      taken care of.

    Mia:
      (That makes sense...)

    Mia:
      (Without an insider's help,
      doing all of the paperwork
      would've been impossible.)

    Dahlia:
      She was the only person left
      in the world I could count on.

    Dahlia:
      And you... You think I
      k-k-killed her...
      There's no way I could!

    Judge:
      Hmmmmm...!

--------------------------------------------

Armando:
 It's the moment of truth
 for this witness, too.

Armando:
 Once the truth about this
 staged kidnapping comes out...

Armando:
 Everyone in the court will
 know how much of a Jezebel
 she really is!

Mia:
 (I've just got to prove that
 kidnapping was a hoax!)

*Present Dusky Bridge Map* at (4)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 You say that Mr. Fawles pushed
 you into the Eagle River...

Mia:
 However, that's hard to
 believe.

Dahlia:
 B-But it's true!
 I felt a push on my back...

Dahlia:
 I'm certain of it!
 It was Mr. Fawles!

Mia:
 I'm sorry... I guess I wasn't
 clear enough.

Mia:
 I shouldn't have said, "that's
 hard to believe." I should've
 said, "That's impossible."

Dahlia:
 I-Impossible...?

Mia:
 I ask that the court recall
 the condition of Dusky Bridge,
 now and 5 years ago.

Mia:
 That bridge hasn't changed one
 bit in these last 5 years.

Mia:
 If someone had pushed you
 from behind as you have
 claimed...

Mia:
 ...instead of being carried
 away by the river...

Mia:
 ...you would have been
 smashed by the bedrock
 below!

Mia:
 A most certain death.

Dahlia:
 ...

Mia:
 Do you understand now,
 Dahlia Hawthorne?

Mia:
 The very notion that my client
 pushed you from behind
 is impossible!

Dahlia:
 ...

Dahlia:
 Aaaaaah!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Your Honor, this event
 occurred 5 years ago!

Edgeworth:
 Why, for all we know, the
 water level in the river may
 have been higher back then.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 But it's 40 feet from the
 bridge to the river!

Mia:
 A small change in the water
 level wouldn't have made a
 difference!

Edgeworth:
 Ugggh!

Judge:
 Y-You're right! If the events
 occurred just as the witness
 has testified...

Judge:
 ...then the defendant couldn't
 have pushed the witness
 into the river.

Judge:
 Young lady!
 What is the meaning of this!?

Dahlia:
 Uuuh!

Dahlia:
 I... I... I, err...
 You see, I...

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Just a moment, Your Honor!

Edgeworth:
 It's true that the witness
 testified that the defendant
 pushed her into the river...

Edgeworth:
 However! She never stated
 that she fell from the back
 end of the bridge!

Mia:
 What... What do you mean?

Edgeworth:
 After being shot in the
 arm, it's plausible that
 Mr. Fawles panicked!

Edgeworth:
 Therefore, he could have
 unwittingly pushed her off
 the side of the bridge!

Judge:
 If that's true, she would
 have fallen into the river!

Judge:
 Well, Miss Hawthorne!?
 Is Mr. Edgeworth's explanation
 correct...?

Dahlia:
 ...

Dahlia:
 Now that you mention it...

Dahlia:
 I do remember now.
 When I fell off the bridge...

Dahlia:
 ...my skirt got caught on one
 of the bridge's side wires!

Mia:
 You can't be serious!

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!

Edgeworth:
 It seems Ms. Fey's assault
 has finally reached its
 conclusion.

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 (Not now, Mia...!
 This is no time to retreat!)

Mia:
 Unfortunately for you...
 this is just the start of
 Ms. Fey's assault!

Edgeworth:
 Wh-What?

Mia:
 I believe your reasoning
 went something like this,
 Mr. Edgeworth.

Mia:
 "After being shot in the
 arm, it's plausible that
 Mr. Fawles panicked!"

Mia:
 "Therefore, he could have
 unwittingly pushed her off
 the side of the bridge!"

Mia:
 However! Once again,
 I'm forced to say,
 "That's impossible!"

Edgeworth:
 R-Ridiculous!
 What's so impossible
 about it!?

Mia:
 Because your flawed logic
 contradicts the Court
 Record!

*Present Witness's Photo*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Your Honor!
 All of the answers are
 right here in this photo!

Mia:
 Take a look at the wires
 supporting both sides of the
 bridge!

Mia:
 They extend up to about
 five feet off the ground...

Mia:
 It would be impossible to
 push someone off from there!

Dahlia:
 NNNNOOOOOOO!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 B-But let's remember
 the size and strength of
 the defendant!

Edgeworth:
 Wires like this wouldn't be
 a problem for him!

Edgeworth:
 He could have easily picked
 up a 14 year old girl and
 thrown her over!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 So young, and already so
 forgetful, Mr. Edgeworth.

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles had been shot
 in the right arm.

Judge:
 Ah...!

Mia:
 And more importantly...

Mia:
 ...Valerie Hawthorne had
 her gun trained on him...
 at point-blank range!

Edgeworth:
 Ugh...!

Mia:
 So! Mr. Fawles throwing the
 witness off the bridge? That
 is clearly impossible!

Edgeworth:
 GWAAAAAAAHHH!

Judge:
 Order! Order!
 Wh-What is the meaning
 of this!?

Mia:
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Mia:
 You jumped into the Eagle
 River intentionally!

Judge:
 What...!?
 What is this...!?

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Indeed! What do you mean
 by such a ridiculous remark!?

Dahlia:
 Y-Yes! It's ridiculous!

Dahlia:
 My sister was there
 to help me!

Dahlia:
 She had her gun and handcuffs.
 She could have saved me...

Dahlia:
 Jumping into a raging river
 like that...
 That would have been suicide!

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 Perhaps...
 But still, that's exactly
 what you did!

Mia:
 You were probably confident
 that you could handle
 the swift current.

Mia:
 But even more so...

Mia:
 ...the witness had a much
 more compelling reason for
 jumping into the river!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Oh? Then what was it!? What
 was so important that she'd
 want to jump into the river!?

Mia:
 The witness is still alive.
 This fact alone explains
 everything!

Mia:
 This is why she risked her
 life by jumping into the
 rapids of the Eagle River!

*Present Diamond*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Five years ago...

Mia:
 ...something else disappeared
 along with Dahlia that day.

Mia:
 The item that Valerie brought
 up the mountain with her...
 The 2 million dollar diamond!

Dahlia:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 AAAAAHHH!!
 N... No...
 It-It can't be...!

Mia:
 Yes. Dahlia had it all planned
 from the beginning!

Mia:
 The 2 million dollars...
 She was going to keep it
 all for herself!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 She forced Mr. Fawles to help
 her fake the kidnapping...

         *BANG!*

Mia:
 At the last minute, she
 betrayed him and threw
 herself into the river...

Mia:
 ...with the ransom tucked away
 safely in her backpack...

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 Why that's... that's simply
 ridiculous!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Y-Your Honor!
 Five years ago, the witness
 was only 14 years old!

Edgeworth:
 Do you really think a
 14 year old is capable
 of such a demonic plan!?

Mia:
 This woman IS a demon.

Mia:
 And there was one more person
 who helped make a demon out
 of her.

Mia:
 Her sister...
 Valerie Hawthorne.

Judge:
 Y-You mean the victim was
 involved in the kidnapping
 plot as well!?

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 But she was a detective then!
 You're saying she participated
 in her sister's kidnapping!?

Mia:
 Precisely!

Mia:
 I'm sure that it weighed
 heavily on her conscience for
 the past 5 years.

Mia:
 This is the sole reason
 behind the victim's murder.

Judge:
 What do you mean by that?

Mia:
 On the day of the murder...

Mia:
 ...after receiving the phone
 call from Mr. Fawles, Valerie
 called her sister, Dahlia.

Mia:
 And then she told her what
 she was planning to do.

Judge:
 "Planning to do"...?

Edgeworth:
 She was going to tell the
 whole truth... As she wrote
 in her note!

Mia:
 THAT is what sealed Valerie
 Hawthorne's fate...

Mia:
 THAT is when you hatched your
 demonic plan to kill two birds
 with one stone.

Mia:
 A plan that would ensure
 neither of your accomplices
 to the kidnapping would talk.

Mia:
 And THAT is why...

Mia:
 ...you killed your sister,
 Valerie Hawthorne!

 ...
 Hee hee...

Judge:
 Wh-Who is that!?
 Laughing at a time like this!

Dahlia:
 Forgive me.
 It's just hilarious...

Judge:
 W-Witness?
 Is that you?

Dahlia:
 You amuse me, woman!
 MS. MIA FEY...

Mia:
 ...!

Dahlia:
 You can certainly weave an
 exciting tale...

Dahlia:
 Naturally...
 you have the evidence
 to back it up, don't you?

Mia:
 Ev-Evidence...?

Dahlia:
 Evidence that I planned the
 kidnapping, of course...

Dahlia:
 That at 14, I plotted it with
 Mr. Fawles and my sister.

Mia:
 W-Well, I...

Dahlia:
 And one more thing.

Dahlia:
 What happened to the
 2 million dollar diamond?

Dahlia:
 If you can't provide evidence
 to at least show that...

Judge:
 Hmmmmm...
 Well, Ms. Fey?

Mia:
 I...
 I don't know...

Dahlia:
 What a joke.
 YOU, MS. FEY...
 Are you stupid or something?

Mia:
 Nnrgh...!

Mia:
 (How can I prove a fake
 kidnapping that happened
 5 years ago!?)

Mia:
 (I don't even have decisive
 proof of Valerie Hawthorne's
 murder...)

Judge:
 Well it seems...
 that we've come to the end.

Judge:
 To be honest, the witness's
 behavior does raise certain
 suspicions...

Judge:
 However, I am forced to reject
 the assertions made by the
 defense.

Dahlia:
 Of course you are.

Mia:
 (Is this it...?
 Is it really over...?)

Mia:
 (That girl has made a fool
 of me and there's nothing
 I can do about it!)

Armando:
 Ha...!

Armando:
 Without evidence the trial
 is over? Who decided that?

Mia:
 M-Mr. Armando!

Armando:
 Come on now, Kitten. Haven't
 you figured out that you
 can make your own rules?

Armando:
 For example, even if there's
 no evidence, there's still
 testimony!

Mia:
 (T-Testimony...?)

Armando:
 On the day in question,
 Dahlia Hawthorne murdered
 her sister, Valerie Hawthorne.

Armando:
 She hid her body in the trunk
 of Mr. Fawles's stolen car and
 then went to meet with him...

Armando:
 ...disguised as her sister,
 Valerie Hawthorne.
 That's what you think, right?

Mia:
 Y-Yes, that's right...

Armando:
 In that case, there's only
 one answer, right?

Armando:
 There is only one person
 left who can testify about
 Valerie Hawthorne's murder!

Mia:
 (Since there's no proof,
 there's only one thing left
 to do!)

Mia:
 (Who is the one person who
 can testify to that demon
 woman's crimes...?)

*Present Terry Fawles profile*

Mia:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Mia:
 Your Honor!
 The defense wishes to call
 a new witness!

Judge:
 A new witness?

Mia:
 Yes! We would like to hear the
 testimony of Terry Fawles!

Edgeworth:
 The defendant...!?

Mia:
 There's only one person that
 can shed any further light
 on the situation...

Mia:
 Only one person that knows
 what Dahlia's role in the
 kidnapping was...

Mia:
 Only one person that can say
 whether the person in the
 photo is Valerie Hawthorne...

Mia:
 ...or whether it was in fact
 her younger sister Dahlia,
 disguised as her.

Mia:
 There's only one person who
 can solve this riddle once
 and for all...

Mia:
 And that person is...
 Terry Fawles!

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Edgeworth?
 What is your take on this?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Why not?
 The prosecution has no
 objection.

Judge:
 Very well.

Judge:
 Bailiff!
 Bring the defendant to the
 witness stand!

Mia:
 (This is my last chance,
 Mr. Fawles...)

Mia:
 (My last chance to establish
 Dahlia's guilt...)

Mia:
 (You're all I have left!)

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Defendant, you've heard
 everything that's been said
 up to this point, yes?

Fawles:
 Uhh... Umm...
 I don't believe it! No way!

Fawles:
 Dahlia died! Five years ago!
 Valerie betrayed me!

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles...

Mia:
 I don't know what she said
 to you 5 years ago, but one
 thing is clear.

Mia:
 Dahlia is very much alive.

Mia:
 And you were used.
 For 2 million dollars.

Fawles:
 That's... Not... True...

Judge:
 Mr. Fawles.
 There's only one question
 I want the answer to.

Judge:
 Two days ago on Dusky
 Bridge... who did you meet?

Judge:
 Was it Valerie Hawthorne?
 Or was it Dahlia Hawthorne?

Fawles:
 Dahlia... Dahlia...
 Did you... betray me?

Fawles:
 ...

Fawles:
 Five years ago she promised...
 She promised... Never, ever
 betray each other...

Dahlia:
 Terry...

Fawles:
 Dahlia!

Dawles:
 It-It's true!
 You are alive...!

Dahlia:
 You don't trust me anymore?
 That makes me sad.

Fawles:
 Tell the truth!
 The real truth!
 I... I believed in you!

Dahlia:
 ...
 I shouldn't NEED to say it.
 You should already know...

Fawles:
 ...!

Dahlia:
 But...
 There is one thing
 that I WILL say.

Dahlia:
 My life is in your hands
 right now, Terry.

Fawles:
 Dah...lia...

Judge:
 I will allow Mr. Fawles to
 testify once and once only.

Judge:
 Well then, Mr. Fawles.
 Yours will be the final
 testimony in this trial.

Fawles:
 ...

Judge:
 Witness!

Fawles:
 GAAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Judge:
 Eeeeek!
 I'm sorry!
 I apologize!

Fawles:
 Uwah! Uwah! UWAAAAH!!
 W-Water!
 P-Please! Water!

Mia:
 Hmm?

Fawles:
 Can't talk...
 Need water...

Armando:
 Ha...!
 Oh well, I guess it'll have
 to be my coffee instead.

Armando:
 At least it'll match the way
 he's probably feeling right
 now...

Armando:
 Darker and bitterer than
 Hell itself.

Fawles:
 UWAAAAAH...

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Who Terry Fawles Saw --

(1)
Fawles:
 That day... 4 PM...
 I stopped the car.
 I was in front of bridge...

(2)
Fawles:
 She wasn't there...
 So, I waited on bridge.

(3)
Fawles:
 I watched my car from
 bridge. I never put no body
 in that car!

(4)
Fawles:
 Finally, one woman came.
 She stood front of me.

(5)
Fawles:
 We talked...
 Then she left.

(6)
Fawles:
 That was... That was Valerie.
 Not my Dahlia!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles!
 You're covering for her!

Mia:
 Do you think she would
 do the same for you...!?

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 That's enough, Ms. Fey!

Edgeworth:
 His last statement was a
 fitting way to end the final
 testimony of the trial...

Mia:
 ...!

Judge:
 Well then, Ms. Fey...
 Please proceed with your
 cross-examination.

Mia:
 (Is this how you want it to
 end, Mr. Fawles?)

Mia:
 (Another guilty verdict to go
 along with your death
 sentence!?)

Armando:
 There's only one person who
 can stop it... You, Kitten.
 ...I think.

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Who Terry Fawles Saw --

(1)
Fawles:
 That day... 4 PM...
 I stopped the car.
 I was in front of bridge...

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      According to the note, the
      meeting was supposed to
      take place at 4:30.

    Mia:
      You certainly arrived early,
      didn't you?

    Fawles:
      It was raining...
      Already dark, too...

    Mia:
      You waited on the bridge
      for 30 minutes?

    Fawles:
      ...

    Mia:
      Mr. Fawles...?

    Fawles:
      Eagle Mountain... That spot...
      Strong, strong memories...

    Mia:
      ...
      (Why did he just clam up?)

    Mia:
      (Could it be...
      he's hiding something here?)

(2)
Fawles:
 She wasn't there...
 So, I waited on bridge.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You were quite early, so you
      waited on the bridge, correct?

    Fawles:
      Yeah... I like waiting.
      I'm used to it.

    Armando:
      I'm sure he is. Zebra Boy
      waited 5 years to ask a
      single question...

    Armando:
      To find out why a woman
      betrayed him.

    Armando:
      To him, 30 minutes must've
      been like a blink of the eye.

(3)
Fawles:
 I watched my car from
 bridge. I never put no body
 in that car!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      You were watching the car?

    Fawles:
      That bridge. Other side is
      broken. Nobody can come
      from there.

    Fawles:
      So... I was watching car.

    Edgeworth:
      *sigh*...
      What else were you expecting
      him to do...?

    Mia:
      (I suppose that's the obvious
      thing to do, but...)

    Mia:
      (...something's bothering me.
      I'm getting that feeling...
      A contradiction?)

    Judge:
      I wonder what's on the other
      side of the broken bridge
      anyway?

    Edgeworth:
      No one lives there.

    Edgeworth:
      There's a small shrine up on
      the mountain, but that's it...

    Fawles:
      Anyway...! Nobody came...
      No car, nothing!

(4)
Fawles:
 Finally, one woman came.
 She stood front of me.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      Mr. Fawles.
      Think carefully now.

    Mia:
      Are you certain that it was
      Valerie Hawthorne?

    Fawles:
      Uh. Uh. Uh...

    Fawles:
      I never lie!
      It-It's the truth!

    Fawles:
      It was... Valerie!
      I remembered her face!

    Mia:
      Wait a minute. If you had
      remembered her face...

    Mia:
      ...then why did you make
      her wear a scarf as
      identification?

    Fawles:
      ...
      Uh.
      Sorry. I told a little lie.

    Mia:
      ......

    Fawles:
      But! The woman I met...
      She was different from
      woman standing here now!

    Fawles:
      She was different!
      It was Valerie!

(5)
Fawles:
 We talked...
 Then she left.

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      What did you talk to her
      about anyway?

    Fawles:
      ...

    Mia:
      Mr. Fawles!

    Fawles:
      Valerie told the truth.
      About the kidnapping
      5 years ago.

    Fawles:
      She said, "Someone needed
      to take the blame for it"...

    Fawles:
      "That was all I could
      think to do."
      She said that.

    Fawles:
      That's why she lied...
      Got me the death penalty...

    Edgeworth:
      And were you satisfied with
      that answer, witness?

    Fawles:
      Dahlia died...
      It was my fault.

    Fawles:
      But I don't really remember...

    Fawles:
      Maybe I did...
      Maybe I did push her in...

    Mia:
      ...!

    Fawles:
      It don't matter no more...

    Fawles:
      Either way... My Dahlia...
      My sweet Teen Angel... Dead.

    Mia:
      (But you just saw that
      she isn't dead!)

    Fawles:
      After Valerie talk to me on
      bridge...
      Nothing left to live for...

(6)
Fawles:
 That was... That was Valerie.
 Not my Dahlia!

    Mia:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Mia:
      How can you be so sure!?

    Mia:
      It was raining at the time,
      and sunset that day was
      at 5 o'clock.

    Mia:
      It would have already been
      pretty dark on that mountain
      at 4:30!

    Fawles:
      ...

    Mia:
      Please Mr. Fawles!
      This is your last chance!

    Mia:
      You've already taken the fall
      once for something you
      didn't do!

    Fawles:
      ...

    Fawles:
      That woman...
      It wasn't Dahlia.

    Edgeworth:
      Stop right there!
      What more needs to be said!?

    Judge:
      Hmmmmm.

    Mia:
      (Even if it means the death
      penalty. Even if it means
      taking the blame for murder...)

    Fawles:
      (You'll still do whatever is
      necessary to protect her...
      Won't you, Mr. Fawles?)

--------------------------------------------

Armando:
 I know it's obvious, but...
 he's clearly lying.

Armando:
 He's been cursed...
 by Dahlia Hawthorne.

Armando:
 He'll probably go to his grave
 still believing in her.

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles...

Armando:
 Even if you can show he's
 lying, the poor guy will still
 be cursed...

Armando:
 You'll still have to point out
 the contradiction anyway.

Armando:
 That's the curse of being
 a defense lawyer, I guess...

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Witness's Photo* at (3)

Mia:
 *OBJECTION!*

Mia:
 So when you got to the bridge,
 no one had arrived, huh?

Mia:
 So you waited on the bridge...
 You're sure of that?

Fawles:
 ...
 Yeah. I'm sure.

Mia:
 You're sure, huh...?
 Well then I'm sure too,
 Mr. Fawles...

Mia:
 I'm sure that you're lying.

Fawles:
 Huh!
 Uhh...
 Wah...

Fawles:
 Wah! Wah! WAAAH!!

Edgeworth:
 Oh? I would love to hear
 your rationale on this,
 Ms. Fey...

Mia:
 You want to know who
 arrived at the bridge first?

Mia:
 Just look at this photo.
 It's perfectly clear.

Mia:
 Obviously the person that came
 first would be the one at the
 end of the bridge, right?

Edgeworth:
 B-But that's the victim at
 the end of the bridge!

Mia:
 Precisely my point.
 In other words, Mr. Fawles...

Mia:
 You must have arrived at the
 bridge after she did.

Fawles:
 Nng...
 Urkkk... Ahhh...
 Ggggaah... Blah...

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 Umm, Mr. Fawles.

Mia:
 Please don't get so worked up.
 We just want the truth.

Fawles:
 ...

Fawles:
 I got there around 4 o'clock.
 It's true.

Mia:
 ...!

Fawles:
 I... I had somewhere to go.
 A special place...

Judge:
 Did you go to this special
 place before you went
 to the bridge?

Fawles:
 Yeah...
 It's an old temple about
 15 minutes from the bridge.

Fawles:
 Five years ago, me and
 Dahlia... We promised each
 other...

Fawles:
 We swore we wouldn't
 betray each other...

Fawles:
 She brought a memento...
 To represent... our love.

Mia:
 A memento...?

Fawles:
 Five years ago, I hid it
 under base of tree there.

Fawles:
 It's a special memory for me.
 This is it... This is what
 I went to get.

Judge:
 This little bottle on a
 necklace is your memento?

Judge:
 It's quite charming...
 but it looks empty.

Mia:
 Your Honor!
 You heard what my client said.

Mia:
 He arrived at the scene
 at 4 o'clock.

Mia:
 But he then left his car
 unattended and walked away!

Mia:
 He was gone for approximately
 30 minutes!

Edgeworth:
 Urk...!

Mia:
 With that much time...

Mia:
 ...Dahlia Hawthorne could have
 easily hidden the body in the
 trunk of his car!

Edgeworth:
 N-NOOOOOOO!

Judge:
 Indeed...
 There certainly was enough
 time for it!

Mia:
 (I've still got a chance!)

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles!
 There's no mistaking it!

Fawles:
 ............

Fawles:
 Urp!

Mia:
 Huh?
 Mr. Fawles...!?

Fawles:
 Th-That's enough...
 Please...

Judge:
 W-Witness?

Fawles:
 I-I promised her...
 5 years ago...

Fawles:
 If it ever happens...

Fawles:
 ...that we can't trust
 each other no more...
 Then...

Fawles:
 ...we're supposed to...
 drink... bottle... Ugh...

Edgeworth:
 N-No! Stop the trial!
 Your Honor! We need a recess!

Fawles:
 I... I was stupid...
 Couldn't... keep... promise...

Fawles:
 So I did it...
 I... drank... this...

Mia:
 No! We are so close!
 Just a little more...

Mia:
 I was going to prove
 your innocence!

Fawles:
 No... Don't want that...
 Don't... trust... self...

Fawles:
 Maybe kill again...</pre><pre id="faqspan-8">
 Kill sweet Dahlia... again...

Mia:
 Mr. Fawles!

Fawles:
 Mr. Ar... Armando...

Fawles:
 Th-Thanks...
 For the... coffee...

Mia:
 MR. FAAAAAAAAWLES!!!!

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 And so my first trial ended...
 Suddenly, and tragically.

Mia:
 It ended with no winners...
 Only losers.

Mia:
 I ended up with a wound that
 cut so deep into my soul,
 I thought it'd never heal.

Mia:
 I'm sure it was the same for
 the young prosecutor as well.

Mia:
 But one person...

Mia:
 The true criminal,
 Dahlia Hawthorne...

Mia:
 She left the courtroom with
 a secret smile on her
 demonically sweet face.

--------------------------------------------

Armando:
 Unforgivable...
 That witch...

Mia:
 M-Mr. Armando...

Armando:
 We were so close to the
 truth. It was right there in
 front of us.

Armando:
 You were just a little
 too soft, Kitten...

Mia:
 It's my fault!
 It's all my fault that
 Mr. Fawles killed himself!

Armando:
 Don't cry, Kitten.
 You're going to make my
 coffee all salty.

Mia:
 I-I knew it...!
 I kn-knew I wasn't cut
 out for this...!

Armando:
 ...............
 Mia...

Mia:
 ...!

Armando:
 Don't you get it?
 You can't cry yet.

Armando:
 The only time a lawyer can
 cry is when it's all over.

Mia:
 M-Mr. Armando...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 No matter how tough the
 case... No matter how
 bitter the memories...

 ...they always fade over time.
 Then you file them away and
 eventually forget them...

 One year later, in this very
 same courthouse...

 I, myself, got wrapped up in
 "that case".

 Only after that, did Dahlia
 Hawthorne get put on trial
 for her crimes.

 The verdict that was
 ultimately handed down
 to her was...

 "Guilty", of course.

 Naturally, when the verdict
 was read, she had a perfect,
 angelic smile on her face.

 It was finally all over.
 At least, that's what I
 thought at the time.

 Unfortunately...

 I couldn't have been
 more wrong...

 It's been 5 years, but now
 something has happened that's
 made me remember all this.

 "Shichishito". The treasured

 name means "7 Branched Sword".

 It is said that this sacred
 sword represents life itself.

 Though the branches may
 appear to be infinite, the
 choices limitless...

 ...like our destinies, the

 One merciless point.

February 6, 9:48 AM
Wright & Co. Law Offices

Maya:
 Hey, Nick.

Phoenix:
 Yeah? What is it?

Maya:
 You know how I've got
 spiritual powers, unlike you?

Phoenix:
 Um, sure...
 You are a spirit medium,
 after all.

Maya:
 But just like you, if I don't
 keep my powers sharp,
 they get dull, right?

Phoenix:
 Um... I guess so, yeah.

Maya:
 Glad you agree!
 OK, Pearly! You're up!

Phoenix:
 (Pearls...?)

Pearl:
 So! That's why we need to
 go on a special "Spiritual
 Hot Spot Tour", Mr. Nick!

Phoenix:
 ...Huh? I'm lost.
 What's this magazine you're
 shoving in my face?

Pearl:
 It's the New Year's issue of
 "Oh! Cult!", Winter Spiritual
 Locations Special!

Phoenix:
 ...Oh.
 (Pearls looks so happy.)

Maya:
 "Maximize your spiritual
 powers with just one night
 of intensive training!"

Maya:
 ...Oh! It sounds too good to
 be true!

Phoenix:
 I'll say.
 It sounds more like a scam
 to me.

Maya:
 It's at a spiritual retreat
 called "Hazakura Temple".

Maya:
 It's way up in the mountains,
 and I bet it's nice and cold.
 ...Just perfect for training!

Phoenix:
 (Now I definitely don't
 want to go...)

Maya:
 You know, I think I've heard
 of this temple before. It's a
 famous channeling dojo.

Maya:
 It's hard for even real spirit
 mediums like us to make
 reservations up there!

Phoenix:
 Reservations...?
 For a temple?
 Are you serious?

Pearl:
 Don't worry!
 I've already made special
 reservations, just for us!

Maya:
 Yeah! And I signed up for the
 "Special Course"!

Phoenix:
 Th-That's nice.
 And the timing couldn't
 be better.

Phoenix:
 ...Since we don't have a case
 right now anyway.

Maya:
 Alrighty then! It's settled!

Maya:
 Well, come on!
 Don't just stand there!
 Start packing your stuff!

Pearl:
 Yes, Mr. Nick!
 You'd better start packing
 your stuff!

Phoenix:
 Huh...?
 M-ME!?
 Why do I have to go!?

Maya:
 Well, we have to be
 accompanied by someone
 over 20 years old.

Phoenix:
 Hey! I don't have anything to
 do with spirit power. The only
 thing I can channel is a TV.

Phoenix:
 ...
 So, um, is there a heated pool
 at this "Hazakura Temple"?

Pearl:
 No, but you can stand
 under a freezing waterfall!

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Sorry, but I think I'll pass.
 I hate cold places.

Maya:
 Whaaat!? No way!
 How can you be so selfish!?

Pearl:
 Come on, Mr. Nick!
 Look at this place!
 Doesn't it look beautiful!?

Phoenix:
 Nope. Not going. I'm gonna be
 nice and toasty at home.......
 .................What the...!?

Pearl:
 Wh-What is it, Mr. Nick?

Phoenix:
 Let me see that magazine!

Phoenix:
 Th-This nun...

Maya:
 Is she a friend of yours
 or something, Nick?

Phoenix:
 (Th-This girl...
 I-It's...!)

--------------------------------------------

Dahlia:
 My name is Dahlia Hawthorne.

Dahlia:
 I just want to say...
 It's an honor for me to be
 here in your noble presence.

Dahlia:
 Honestly, how can any woman
 ever count on you for
 anything?

Dahlia:
 ...You disgust me!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 But...
 It can't be!

Phoenix:
 (She was found guilty and
 should still be in prison...)

Pearl:
 ...Mr. Nick?

Phoenix:
 ...
 I'll go.

Maya:
 Huh...?

Phoenix:
 Hazakura Temple...
 I said I'll go.

Maya:
 Yay!
 Isn't that great, Pearly!?

Pearl:
 Yes! Oh, thank you!
 Thank you, Mr. Nick!

Pearl:
 You'd do anything for Mystic
 Maya, right? Even walk over
 burning coals, right!?

*"Oh! Cult!" New Year's
Issue received from Pearls.*

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (Dahlia Hawthorne...)

Phoenix:
 (I knew there was no way she
 could possibly be at that
 temple...)

Phoenix:
 (But, I just had to
 be see for myself...)

Phoenix:
 (...who this "nun"
 really was.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7, 3:24 PM
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate

Maya:
 Brrrrr... It-It-It's so
 c-c-cold here, Nick!

Phoenix:
 Maybe you should put on
 something warmer for a change!

Maya:
 W-W-Well, it's supposed
 to be c-c-cold...
 It's t-t-training.

Maya:
 ...Ah-Achoo!

Phoenix:
 (Her teeth are chattering so
 loudly, it's all I can do to
 make out what she's saying...)

Pearl:
 Wow, Mystic Maya! So this is
 the famous Hazakura Temple!

Maya:
 P-P-P-Pearly...
 I-I-I-I...
 Ah-Achoo!

? ? ?:
 Well, well, well...
 How nice to see you here.
 Welcome to our temple!

Maya:
 Oh...! Th-Th-Thank you...
 Ah-Achoo!

? ? ?:
 Oh my, my, my...
 Thank you for coming
 all this way.

? ? ?:
 Come now, come now.
 You must have been cold.

Phoenix:
 What's with the past tense...?
 We're freezing into human
 popsicles as we spea--!

? ? ?:
 Ho ho ho.
 Well, we are high up in
 the mountains after all.

? ? ?:
 In any case, we shouldn't
 speak here.
 ...Please follow me inside.

Maya:
 Th-Thank you. I was starting
 to think I would pass--

? ? ?:
 Oh! Yes, yes!
 I almost forgot to
 introduce myself.

Bikini:
 I'm the head nun here at
 the temple. My name is Bikini.

Maya:
 B-B-B-Bikini...!?

Bikini:
 That's riiight!

Bikini:
 Actually, that's my
 "temple" name.
 What do you think?

Bikini:
 It's a tradition to have one,
 and I wanted something that
 has a nice image to it.

Bikini:
 So I thought, "Why not choose
 a bikini?" Besides, it makes
 me seem younger.

Bikini:
 Wa ha ha ha! Ho ho ho!

Maya:
 It certainly does!
 Oh, I signed up for your
 "Special Course"!

Bikini:
 Well, my, my, my.
 Quite brave of you
 considering how cold it is!

Bikini:
 Young people can be so
 reckless with their health!

Bikini:
 Don't blame me if you become
 one with those you channel.
 Wa ha ha! Ho ho ho!

Pearl:
 R-Reckless...?

Maya:
 "Wa ha ha"...?

Pearl:
 Maybe you should take it easy
 tonight, Mystic Maya...
 We can come back another day.

Maya:
 But you went through
 all that trouble to get
 reservations for m--

Bikini:
 Yes, yes, yes, that's right!
 You've come all this way, so
 please, enjoy yourselves!

Bikini:
 There's still time before
 supper, so why don't you
 have a look around?

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   What do you think, Nick?
+   Pretty awesome gate, huh?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It sure is...
+   It looks pretty well
+   maintained, too.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This thing kinda puts your
+   hometown to shame, Maya.
+
+ Maya:
+   Yeah... Well, a lot of things
+   have happened in Kurain
+   Village.
+
+ Maya:
+   We used to be a lot richer,
+   back when people hired us
+   to perform channelings.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Oh, I see... But now the place
+   looks a bit run down...
+
+ Maya:
+   Hmm... I guess I was just
+   born in the wrong time.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The Main Hall ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   That looks like the Main Hall
+   where we'll be staying
+   tonight.
+
+ Maya:
+   From here, it looks like one
+   of those ice hotels you
+   always hear about!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...They gotta have a heater
+   or something in there, don't
+   you think? I don't wanna die.
+
+ Maya:
+   I'm not worried, I brought
+   my hot-water bottle.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Did you bring one for me?
+
+ Maya:
+   What are you talking
+   about, Nick?
+
+ Maya:
+   Who carries around
+   2 hot-water bottles?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Brr! If the cold doesn't
+   kill me, the ice queen over
+   here will finish the job...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Bell tower +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh, look! It's a cute
+   little bell tower!
+
+ Maya:
+   I absolutely love the
+   sound of a giant bell!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Oh?
+   So, which do you like better?
+   That or the sound of money?
+
+ Maya:
+   ...!
+   ......
+
+ Maya:
+   Sorry, but I'll take money
+   for the win, Nick.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Wh-What are you
+   apologizing for?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snowmobile +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh look, it's one of those
+   snow motorcycle things!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Most people call that a
+   "snowmobile", you know.
+
+ Maya:
+   "Snow motorcycle things",
+   "Snowblowmeal".
+   Same thing.
+
+ Maya:
+   Hmm... Too bad we didn't
+   invite Desirée.
+
+ Maya:
+   I bet she could race like the
+   wind on this "Slowmobile"!
+
+ Maya:
+   Or maybe she'd give me ride
+   on this "Blowsnowbile".
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Argh!
+   I told you, it's "snowmobile"!
+

PRESENT (TO BIKINI)
-------------------

*** Anything *******************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   Um, do you think you
*   could take a look at this?
*
* Bikini:
*   I may not look like it,
*   but I can tell you I'm
*   very much in demand.
*
* Bikini:
*   And to be quite honest,
*   I'm finding this a little
*   difficult to say...
*
* Pearl:
*   ...What IS she trying to
*   say, Mr. Nick?
*
* Phoenix:
*   I think she's trying to
*   say that she's busy.
*
* Maya:
*   But seriously Nick,
*   what's the deal?
*
* Maya:
*   Nothing has even happened
*   yet and you're already shoving
*   evidence into people's faces.
*
* Maya:
*   You need to forget about
*   work and relax a little.
*
* Pearl:
*   Try to have some fun, OK
*   Mr. Nick?
*
* Phoenix:
*   Y-Yeah, you're right...
*   (Sure. Pin the hypothermia on
*   the lawyer is great fun!)
*
********************************************

MOVE TO: "Main Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

Maya:
 Th-Th-The Main Hall...
 I th-think it's even
 c-c-c-colder in here! Achoo!

Pearl:
 Ah! Mr. Nick!
 Do you smell that?
 It smells like meat and gravy!

Maya:
 Yeah, you're right! I guess
 it's pot roast for tonight!
 Yum!

Phoenix:
 ...Weird. I thought they would
 serve something a little
 more... well, traditional.

Maya:
 What are you talking
 about, Nick!?

Maya:
 You think monks and nuns
 just sit around eating rice
 gruel all the time!?

Pearl:
 Mystic Maya is right! Ooh! I
 hope there's mashed potatoes,
 too! I love mashed potatoes!

? ? ?:
 Ha ha ha...
 What a cute little acolyte!

? ? ?:
 Greetings to all of you.

Phoenix:
 Oh... Um, hello.

Phoenix:
 (Wow, this lady makes Maya
 look like a 6.8/10 on the
 weirdness scale.)

Maya:
 Your outfit...
 Did you come here for the
 Special Course, too...?

? ? ?:
 Ha, ha, ha...
 Unfortunately, no.
 Actually, I'm...

Pearl:
 Aaaaaaaaaah!

Pearl:
 Y-You're...!
 Y-You're...!

Pearl:
 You're Ms. Elise Deauxnim!

Elise:
 Yes, that's right...
 You know of me?

Pearl:
 M-M-My name...
 My name is Pearl Fey!

Pearl:
 I-I'm your biggest fan!

Maya:
 Who is she, Nick?

Phoenix:
 Hmm... I see it now...
 Zvarri! A fortune-teller...?

Pearl:
 I-I've got all your books,
 Ms. Deauxnim!

Elise:
 Ha, ha, ha...
 What a sweet thing to say.
 And please, call me Elise.

Phoenix:
 Um, "books"...?

Pearl:
 Mr. Nick, don't you know
 anything!? Don't you even
 know who this is?

Phoenix:
 Well, um...

Phoenix:
 ...An author, maybe?

Elise:
 Yes, and an illustrator.
 ...Of picture books.

Maya:
 Picture books, huh?
 Oh, now I get it...

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Walls/Sliding doors ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I bet the writing on these
+   sliding doors are instructions
+   for spirit channeling...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Kinda like how we scribbled
+   math formulas on the bathroom
+   walls to remember them.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Except we couldn't go to the
+   bathroom during tests... And
+   I can't read these walls.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stuff on the floor +++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There are straw zabuton
+   cushions arranged around
+   a hibachi brazier...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I haven't seen a layout like
+   this since I saw this really
+   old Japanese movie on TV.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...If it wasn't for this
+   hibachi, they'd probably
+   freeze to death.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Altar ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's an altar. It looks a bit
+   old, but someone does a
+   good job taking care of it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Speaking of altars, I remember
+   seeing one like this in Kurain
+   Village last year.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess they really do have
+   something to do with
+   spiritual power after all.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Large Magatama on the altar ++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's a laughably large
+   Magatama on the altar.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   If I can see Psyche-Locks
+   with the tiny Magatama I've
+   got...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...I can only imagine what
+   kind of power this bad boy
+   has under his hood!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Left corner near the altar +++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's a stack of straw
+   zabuton cushions.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Maya told me this type of
+   zabuton is called "enza"...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I suppose if I'd never come
+   here, I'd have missed out on
+   all these new things.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*** Anything *******************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   Ms. Deauxnim?
*   What do you think about this?
*
* Pearl:
*   Mr. Nick!
*   Do you think Ms. Elise
*   is a suspect?
*
* Phoenix:
*   Huh...?
*
* Pearl:
*   You may be Mystic Maya's
*   special someone, but I won't
*   let you do this to Ms. Elise!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (A suspect? Why would I
*   suspect her of anything? It's
*   not like anything's happened.)
*
* Maya:
*   Isn't it cute, Nick? Pearly's
*   getting all overprotective of
*   her new friend.
*
********************************************

--------------------------------------------

*AFTER TALKING TO ELISE*

Elise:
 Well, you'll have to
 excuse me now...

Elise:
 I have to go help with the
 dinner preparations.

Pearl:
 Wow! You mean you're
 cooking dinner tonight?

Elise:
 That's right. Would you
 like to help too, Pearl?

Pearl:
 Yes, yes!
 I want to help with
 whatever I can!

Phoenix:
 (Pearls looks like she just
 won the lottery...)

Maya:
 Oh, I'll help too, then...

Elise:
 ...No, it's fine.
 Please don't worry about it.

Elise:
 Feel free to relax and explore
 the area with your friend.

Maya:
 Huh!? But...

Elise:
 ...Oh, yes!
 Please take this. I think
 it will be of help to you.

Elise:
 It's a map of the area.
 We wouldn't want you to
 get lost now, would we?

Phoenix:
 (The "Inner Temple"...
 There it is, on the other
 side of the bridge...)

Phoenix:
 Well, if you insist, I guess
 we'll take this chance to go
 check out the other temple.

*Hazakura Temple Map added
to the Court Record.*

Pearl:
 OK! I'll see you two
 later then!

Pearl:
 Remember!
 You're not allowed to fight!

Maya:
 Come on, Nick! Let's go!
 At least we'll stay warm
 if we keep moving!

MOVE TO: "Main Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate

Maya:
 Huh? Where did
 Sister Bikini go?

Phoenix:
 I guess she went to the
 Inner Temple... To go
 help that other nun out.

Maya:
 Oh, right... I think her name
 is... Iris?

Phoenix:
 Y-Yeah...
 That was it.

Phoenix:
 (I want to find out who
 Iris really is, but I'm scared
 of what I'll find...)

Maya:
 ...?

MOVE TO: "Suspension Bridge"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7
Dusky Bridge

Maya:
 Wow! Look at this broken
 down old bridge, Nick!

Phoenix:
 Y-Yeah, and look at that
 big canyon below us.

Maya:
 Hey! There's a river down
 there! It looks like it's
 flowing real fast!

Maya:
 ...What's wrong, Nick?
 You look like you've
 seen a ghost!

Phoenix:
 I-I'm just not very good
 with heights...

Maya:
 Oh...
 Hey! I've got it!

Maya:
 Maybe you should face your
 fear and try hurling yourself
 off the edge?

Maya:
 You know!
 One... Two... Three... Jump!

Maya:
 It might be just what
 you need to get over
 your fear of heights!

Phoenix:
 ...Yeah, death is a real
 good way to overcome
 phobias alright.

Phoenix:
 Anyway, it sure looks like a
 rickety bridge.

Maya:
 Can't argue there.

Maya:
 That's probably why
 it's called, "Dusty Bridge".

Phoenix:
 Read it again, Maya.
 It says, "Dusky Bridge".

Maya:
 Well, it's practically
 the same thing.

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Cliff on the other side ++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It looks like it's about
+   20 yards to that cliff
+   over there.
+
+ Maya:
+   I guess that's where I'll be
+   training tonight.
+
+ Maya:
+   Do you want to train
+   with me, Nick?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   And do the Special Course?
+   I think not.
+
+ Maya:
+   But it'd be so great if you
+   had spiritual powers, too!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Really? "I see dead people"
+   sounds more like a
+   cause for alarm to me...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Wooden sign on the left side +++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's a narrow path going
+   off in a different direction
+   than that of the Main Hall.
+
+ Maya:
+   The sign here is so old, the
+   text seems to have vanished.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The path leads to a wooden
+   staircase that goes down to
+   the bottom of the canyon.
+
+ Maya:
+   OK, I'll write, "wooden
+   staircase" on it then.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...Do you really think that
+   is necessary? You'd have to be
+   blind not to see the stairs.
+
+ Maya:
+   Well, it can't hurt.
+   Just pass me a pencil, OK?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Graffiti is a crime, Maya.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Come on, Nick!
+   Why don't we hop across
+   the bridge. It'll be fun!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I'm not so sure... It looks
+   like a bunny hopping across
+   the bridge would destroy it.
+
+ Maya:
+   OK, Nick. Then let's try to
+   find a cute little white
+   bunny and test your theory.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (That right there sums up
+   the fundamental difference
+   between sane and insane.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stone boulder ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Some letters are engraved
+   into a roughly cut boulder.
+
+ Maya:
+   "D-U-S-T-Y Bridge", huh?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It says, "Dusky"!
+   "Dusky Bridge"! OK?
+
+ Maya:
+   C'mon, Nick! Take a look at
+   that bridge and tell me it's
+   not supposed to be "Dusty"!
+
+ Maya:
+   This sign is obviously wrong,
+   and I'm gonna fix it!
+   Now give me a pencil, Nick!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Do I look like a pencil holder
+   to you?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Red public phone +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   I can't believe there's
+   a public phone here.
+   Who would ever use it?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The people who live here, I
+   guess. I doubt they have any
+   real phones there.
+
+ Maya:
+   Yeah, but it took like
+   20 minutes to walk here
+   from the Main Hall!
+
+ Maya:
+   ...
+
+ Maya:
+   It would've been smarter of
+   them to build the Main Hall
+   here, don't you think?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...Maybe you should work
+   on channeling someone who
+   makes logical sense, Maya.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Inner Temple Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7
Inner Temple Gate

Maya:
 Whoa, that bridge was shaking
 like jello in an earthquake.

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 And at least half of the wood
 on that rickety bridge was
 rotting, I'd bet.

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 Not to mention the last part
 only had like one board
 left on it!

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 What's wrong with you?
 Your face is all green.

Phoenix:
 C-Can you not pick on me
 for a second?

Phoenix:
 I'm still trying to get over
 the shock that we made it
 safely across that death trap.

Maya:
 Yeah, I guess I'm a bit
 surprised, too...

Maya:
 Yikes! That "temple" is in
 bad shape. It looks like it
 could collapse anytime...

Phoenix:
 I guess people don't use
 it too often.

Phoenix:
 Is this really where you're
 going to train tonight?

Maya:
 That has to be it.

Maya:
 It's kinda creepy around
 here... Like a ghost might
 jump out at you or something!

Phoenix:
 (A spirit medium afraid of
 ghosts...? Isn't it ironic,
 don't you think?)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I don't care how much you
+   pay me, I don't want to cross
+   that bridge again.
+
+ Maya:
+   No worries, Nick. No one is
+   offering you any money.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's because no reasonable
+   person would call that pile
+   of popsicle sticks a bridge!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The latter half of it was
+   nothing more than a few planks
+   of wood and some string!
+
+ Maya:
+   Hey, if we want to get back,
+   we've got no choice but to
+   cross it again, you know.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Maybe I'll just stay... I've
+   always dreamed of living in
+   a little shack in the woods.
+
+ Maya:
+   ...Wow, you really are
+   scared, aren't you?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Suspension wire ++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   It looks like this bridge
+   is suspended by 4 of
+   these wires.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...They're reeeally thin.
+   Shouldn't they be just a
+   little thicker...?
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh, stop it!
+   You're such a worrywart, Nick!
+
+ Maya:
+   If the bridge were really
+   going to collapse...
+
+ Maya:
+   ...I'm pretty sure the boards
+   would break before these
+   wires ever did!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Maya:
+   What's wrong?
+   You're turning into an
+   over-ripe avocado again.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Buddha statues +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh, wow!
+   Look at these neat
+   Buddha statues.
+
+ Maya:
+   Maybe I'll take one home
+   with me.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Maya!
+
+ Maya:
+   But there are so many.
+   They wouldn't notice if
+   I took just one.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Are you kidding?
+   Of course they'll notice!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   What are you gonna
+   do with one of those anyway?
+
+ Maya:
+   Put it in the office
+   of course!
+
+ Maya:
+   We can trade that wooden
+   statue in the office reception
+   area for one of these!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (You know, come to think of
+   it, where did that wooden
+   statue come from anyway...?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Incinerator ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Hey! There's a giant robot
+   buried in the snow!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Well, there's something
+   buried in the snow, but...
+   I think it's an incinerator.
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh... Hee hee.
+   But you've gotta admit it
+   looks a lot like a robot.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Um, sure... Anyway, I don't
+   think it gets used much.
+   It's looking pretty rusty.
+
+ Maya:
+   Hey, Nick!
+   Do you think this Giant
+   Robo-cinerator can walk?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I told you! It's not a robot!
+   ...And it's not especially big
+   either.
+
+ Maya:
+   Bah, you have no imagination.
+   I thought it'd be real neat if
+   you had to beat it to advance.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (A fight between a lawyer and
+   an overgrown furnace? Who'd
+   ever pay to see that!?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Yellow gate ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Hey! A half-opened gate!
+   That's practically a welcome
+   mat!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Yeah, except the sign on
+   here says, "No Entry".
+
+ Maya:
+   Umm, Nick.
+
+ Maya:
+   Rules are made to be
+   broken, you know.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...You expect a lawyer to
+   go along with that?
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh, come on! You're such
+   an old lady sometimes!
+   Let's just go!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Don't blame it on me when
+   Sister Bikini puts a curse
+   on you.
+
+ Maya:
+   ...
+
+ Maya:
+   Now you've got me scared.
+   Um, let's just forget about
+   it, OK?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Wooden log on left with sign +++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Looks like there's something
+   written on it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I can't read it, but if I had
+   to take a good guess, I'd
+   say it says, "Inner Temple".
+
+ Maya:
+   What's the point of a sign
+   if you can't read it?
+
+ Maya:
+   Must be tough for the mailman
+   when he's delivering here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I guess the sign is a good
+   indication of how long this
+   place has been here...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   So that's the Inner Temple
+   up ahead, huh?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It looks kinda run-down.
+
+ Maya:
+   Well, it wouldn't be very
+   temple-like if it was all
+   bright and shiny.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   So you're training here
+   tonight, huh?
+
+ Maya:
+   Yup!
+   Then everyone'll see my
+   spiritual powers!
+
+   ...Uuurrrgh...ggnngh...ggh...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Sounds like your stomach
+   wants to show off its
+   digestive powers instead...

MOVE TO: "Training Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7
Inner Temple
Training Hall

Phoenix:
 Man, look at this place...
 It's just a tiny,
 freezing-cold room.

Phoenix:
 So this is where you'll both
 be training, huh...

Maya:
 Huh?
 What do you mean, "both"?
 I'm the only one.

Phoenix:
 Really?
 But I thought...

Maya:
 Pearly's just a little kid.
 She couldn't handle this
 kind of intense training.

Phoenix:
 (So says the girl who I can
 barely hear over her bones
 chattering...)

Maya:
 Anyway... The real training
 room must be behind that
 door over there.

Maya:
 Yeah, I get the feeling it's
 back there, definitely.

Phoenix:
 (If only because the cavern
 behind that door is giving off
 a real supernatural feel...)

? ? ?:
 Um...

? ? ?:
 Excuse me, but...
 Who are you...?

? ? ?:
 ...Ah!
 ...

Phoenix:
 Y-You're...

Maya:
 Hi there! We're just looking
 around since we're going to
 be staying here tonight...

? ? ?:
 ...

Maya:
 ...?
 Is something wrong?

? ? ?:
 Uh, er, no!
 It-It's nothing...

Maya:
 I wonder why she spaced out
 like that. Don't you, Nick?

Phoenix:
 Uh...
 D-Did you say something,
 M-Maya?

Maya:
 ...
 Not you too, Nick...

Iris:
 I... M-My name is Iris.
 I'm one of the nuns here
 at this temple.

Maya:
 I'm Maya Fey.
 It's a pleasure to meet you!

Iris:
 The pleasure is mine...

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Oh, er, please excuse me!
 I have some... um, chores
 to attend to.

--------------------------------------------

Maya:
 She sure is beautiful...
 and a bit spacey, I guess...

Maya:
 I guess she's just not used
 to talking with urban
 sophisticates like us.

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 Nick?

Phoenix:
 (That girl...
 It-It can't be, but...)

Maya:
 ...?

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Dresser drawers ++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   Look at this antique dresser.
+   I wonder if there's anything
+   valuable inside.
+
+ Maya:
+   Let's have a look...
+
+ Maya:
+   Hmph... Nothing!
+   Just a bunch of clothes.
+
+ Maya:
+   Hey, Nick.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+   Huh! Oh, sorry.
+   I was just... thinking.
+
+ Maya:
+   Oh? About Iris, I bet!
+   Looks like you've been
+   bitten by the love bug, Nick!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Sacred cavern entrance +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Maya:
+   The actual training area must
+   be on the other side of this
+   door. I wonder what it's like.
+
+ Maya:
+   Phooey...
+   It's locked.
+
+ Maya:
+   Come on, Nick!
+   You know you want to
+   open it for me!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...I can't.
+
+ Maya:
+   ...
+
+ Maya:
+   You've been in kind of a bad
+   mood lately, haven't you,
+   Nick?
+
+ Maya:
+   ...Zvarri!
+   I know what it is!
+   I-R-I-S.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Maya:
+   Ha ha ha ha ha!
+   */Iris and Nick, sitting
+   in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!*/
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Hanging scroll +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (A hanging scroll...
+   It doesn't look that
+   old either...)
+
+ Maya:
+   AAAAAAH!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   AAAAAAAAACK!
+   Wh-What is it!?
+   Why did you scream like that!?
+
+ Maya:
+   Th-This scroll...!
+
+ Maya:
+   It-It's my mother...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Wh...
+   Whaaaaaaaat!?
+
+ Maya:
+   ...It's Misty Fey.
+   The Master of the Kurain
+   School of Channeling...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Are... Are you sure?
+
+ Maya:
+   Yes...
+
+ Maya:
+   The crest at the top
+   of the scroll...
+
+ Maya:
+   That's the special mark of
+   the Master of our tradition.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (So that's what the mark
+   means...)
+
+ Maya:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   What is it?
+
+ Maya:
+   N-Nothing...
+
+ Maya:
+   It's just that... I last saw
+   her over 15 years ago...
+
+ Maya:
+   If it wasn't for that crest...
+   I wouldn't have even known
+   it was her.
+
+ Maya:
+   My own mother... And I can't
+   even recognize her face.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Maya...
+
+ *Hanging Scroll added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Hanging scroll (again) +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's a hanging wall scroll
+   showing Maya's mother,
+   Misty Fey.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's not that old.
+   That crest at the top is the
+   official mark of the Master.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I wonder if this temple has
+   some sort of connection to
+   the Fey family...
+
+ Maya:
+   I think it does, actually.
+
+ Maya:
+   Supposedly, it was founded by
+   a branch family member of
+   the Kurain School.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I'll have to ask Bikini in
+   more detail when I get the
+   chance...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (About Maya... And the
+   Fey family in general.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Suspension Bridge"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7
Dusky Bridge

Maya:
 Whew, we managed to make
 it across Dusty Bridge.

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 Nick, you look green.
 Are you feeling alright?

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 Hey! What's wrong with you?

Maya:
 Ever since we met Sister Iris
 at the Training Hall, you've
 been really quiet.

Phoenix:
 Huh!? Oh, um. Sorry...

? ? ?:
 Hey, you! ...Wait up!

Maya:
 ...?
 You think he's yelling at us?

Phoenix:
 He must be.
 There's no one else around...

? ? ?:
 Would you mind moving?
 You're standing right in
 my way.

? ? ?:
 ...
 Ah!

Maya:
 Hey!
 I know you! You're...

? ? ?:
 Whoa!
 Sorry!
 Gotta run!

? ? ?:
 ...See ya!

Phoenix:
 H-Hey!
 Wait a minute!

? ? ?:
 Oh, uh, nice to meet you.
 ...I'm Laurice Deauxnim.

Phoenix:
 Liar! You're Larry!
 Your clothes may change,
 but you're still the Butz.

Butz:
 Shaddup!

Butz:
 I'm... I'm... Lauriiiiice!

Butz:
 And I'm just here to do a
 sketch of Dusky Bridge!

Maya:
 So... it really is our Larry.
 ...Not that I get why he's
 pretending to be someone else.

PRESENT (TO BUTZ)
-----------------

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Butz:
*   Wow! You're even cuter than
*   the last time I saw you.
*
* Maya:
*   Oh, really!?
*
* Butz:
*   Yeah, you look like a
*   totally different person!
*   Don't you think so, Nick?
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Maybe it's 'cause we're
*   always together, but she looks
*   pretty much the same to me.)
*
********************************************

*** Mia Fey profile ************************
*
* Butz:
*   Hey, I remember her!
*   That's Maya's big sister!
*
* Maya:
*   Wow! You really do remember!
*</pre><pre id="faqspan-9">
* Butz:
*   Yeah, who could forget!
*   A couple of gorgeous sisters!
*   Hubba hubba!
*
* Maya:
*   You hear that, Nick!
*   Gorgeous!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Oh yeah... That's right.
*   When I defended Larry...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Mia was still alive...)
*
********************************************

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Butz:
*   I haven't seen her in a
*   while, so I bet she's gotten
*   a lot bigger.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Well, it's only been 5 months
*   since we celebrated Ron's
*   non-guilty verdict.
*
* Butz:
*   Maybe so, but kids these
*   days grow up so fast.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...She hasn't changed a
*   bit as far as I can tell.
*
* Butz:
*   Come on, Nick...
*   I really doubt that.
*
* Butz:
*   You just don't know 'cause
*   you don't pay enough
*   attention, that's all.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Sometimes I really worry
*   about what goes on inside
*   this guy's head...)
*
********************************************

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Maya:
*   She seems really motherly,
*   doesn't she?
*
* Butz:
*   What do you mean "seems"
*   motherly? She IS my mother.
*
* Maya:
*   ...She's your WHAT!?
*
* Butz:
*   I'm gonna have to take a
*   pass on answering that one.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Wait a second. Why is he
*   getting off so easy this
*   time...!?)
*
********************************************

*** Elise Deauxnim profile *****************
*
* Butz:
*   Elise is really something.
*   She's like a mother to me.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yeah, you can tell from the
*   kindness reflected in her
*   eyes.
*
* Butz:
*   When I first looked into her
*   eyes, I just couldn't help it.
*
* Butz:
*   I started blabbing about all
*   the bad things I had done
*   in my life.
*
* Butz:
*   She just laughed that gentle
*   laugh of hers and listened!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Are you sure she wasn't
*   just laughing at you...?)
*
********************************************

*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Butz:
*   Whoo yeah! Her!
*   My little Iris!
*
* Maya:
*   She's really pretty.
*
* Butz:
*   This girl... She's perfect!
*   She's exactly my type!
*
* Butz:
*   I wonder if she would model
*   for me. I want to draw a
*   portrait of her.
*
* Maya:
*   Yeah, you always liked those
*   model types, didn't you Larry?
*
* Maya:
*   ...Hey, wait a sec!
*   Didn't you say you were
*   swearing off women...?
*
* Butz:
*   Huh!?
*   Yeah, that's right.
*   Of course I have!
*
* Butz:
*   I have... basically.
*   But...
*
* Maya:
*   "But"...?
*
* Butz:
*   But... Iris is different.
*
* Butz:
*   I feel like...
*   I feel like I still have one
*   chance left at the dream...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (This guy will never change.)
*
********************************************

*** Anything else **************************
*
* Butz:
*   Hey, I know I may not look
*   like it, but I'm an artist.
*
* Butz:
*   I refuse to look at anything
*   that doesn't have a radiant
*   or beautiful motif.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Picky, picky, aren't you...?)
*
********************************************

--------------------------------------------

*AFTER TALKING TO BUTZ*

Pearl:
 Everyone!

Maya:
 Hey! Pearly!

Pearl:
 Dinner preparations are
 complete!

Pearl:
 Please come quickly to
 the Main Hall!

Maya:
 Alright!
 I can't wait to dig in,
 Pearly!

Pearl:
 I'm going to go to the Inner
 Temple and call Sister Iris!

Pearl:
 I also want to have a look at
 where Mystic Maya is going
 to be training...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7, 7:46 PM
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

Maya:
 Boy am I stuffed...

Phoenix:
 Are you sure it's alright
 to eat that much before
 your training?

Maya:
 Well, this kind of training is
 a battle of endurance.

Pearl:
 Mystic Maya... Please don't
 do anything that might put
 your health at risk.

Maya:
 Ha ha ha.
 No pain, no gain, I guess.

Pearl:
 Nngh...
 I'm still worried about you...

Bikini:
 Well, well, well. Let's not
 dilly-dally shilly-shally. You
 must get ready for tonight.

Elise:
 Good luck.
 ...Maya.

Maya:
 Alright! Here I go!
 I'll see you all tomorrow,
 I guess!

Bikini:
 Iris, please ring the bell at
 10:00 for lights out, alright?

Iris:
 Yes, Sister Bikini.

Bikini:
 And then, after you ring the
 bell, I want you to come join
 us at the Training Hall.

Iris:
 I understand, Sister Bikini.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (Maya and Bikini really seem
 excited about this training
 thing tonight...)

Elise:
 ...Well, Pearl? What are you
 going to do tonight?

Pearl:
 Well, umm...

Elise:
 If you'd like, you can
 come to my room.

Elise:
 Perhaps we can read some
 books together.

Pearl:
 R-Really!?
 I'd love to!

Pearl:
 I, umm...
 I'm not very good at reading.

Elise:
 Ha ha ha.
 Well then, would you like to
 practice reading with me?

Pearl:
 Ah! I'd love to!

Phoenix:
 (Pearls is absolutely smitten
 with Ms. Deauxnim...)

Phoenix:
 So Larry, what are you
 going to do?

Butz:
 Huh... Me?
 Um, well...

Butz:
 I'm just gonna hang out in
 my room. I can't stand the
 cold at all.

Phoenix:
 (I totally hear you there.)

Pearl:
 Um, Ms. Elise?
 So, for example, how do you
 read this?

Elise:
 It says, "gravely"...
 That's kind of a tough word.

Pearl:
 Oh! OK!
 And what about this word?

Elise:
 That's another tough one.
 It says, "roast".

Phoenix:
 (What kind of a book is
 she reading anyway...?)

Pearl:
 Well, I'm going to go wash
 the dishes and help clean up.

Pearl:
 I'll go visit you when
 I'm done, Ms. Elise!

Phoenix:
 (Well, not much to do except
 head to my room and huddle
 under the covers, I guess...)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7, 9:12 PM
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

Phoenix:
 (Ugh... It's a whole different
 type of cold up here in
 the mountains!)

Phoenix:
 (Argh... Why couldn't the
 nearest bathroom be just a
 little closer to my room...?)

? ? ?:
 ...Mr. Wright?

Phoenix:
 Yaaaaaaah!

Phoenix:
 Oh! Ah, Ms. Deauxnim!
 Are you going to use the
 bathroom, too?

Elise:
 Um, no. But...
 Have you seen Pearl?

Phoenix:
 No... Not since after dinner.

Phoenix:
 I thought she said she was
 going to go to your room...

Elise:
 I know...
 But she never showed up.

Elise:
 I-I'm going to go
 look for her.
 ...Excuse me.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (Ms. Elise Deauxnim...
 A woman as mysterious in
 origin as her last name...)

Phoenix:
 (But...)

Phoenix:
 (The really mysterious
 one is...)

Iris:
 Oh...

Phoenix:
 Ah...!
 S-Sister Iris...!

Iris:
 G... G-Good evening...

Phoenix:
 (The real mysterious
 one is this girl...!)

Iris:
 Um, are you on your way
 to the bathroom too,
 Mr. Wright?

Phoenix:
 (...I can't let this chance
 pass me by!)

Phoenix:
 (I should try to talk with
 her... And maybe get some
 answers.)

--------------------------------------------

MOVE
----

Phoenix:
 ...It's freezing cold out
 there. And dark, too.

Phoenix:
 There's nothing I need to
 do, so I think I'll just stay
 roasty-toasty in here.

*AFTER TALKING TO IRIS*

Iris:
 Ah...

Phoenix:
 Is something wrong?

Iris:
 I-I didn't realize it was so
 late. I have to go and ring
 the bell for lights out...

Phoenix:
 (I guess it's almost 10:00
 now, huh?)

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Um... Mr. Wright?

Phoenix:
 ...Yes?

Iris:
 If it's alright with you...
 I would like you to have this.

Phoenix:
 But this is your hood...

Iris:
 It has the power to protect
 you from evil spirits.

Phoenix:
 (Come to think of it,
 Sister Bikini was wearing
 one of these, too...)

Iris:
 I pray for your safety
 on this dark, cold night.

*Iris's Hood received
from Iris.*

Iris:
 I'm sorry, but I must
 bid you goodnight.

Phoenix:
 Wait a minute,
 Sister Iris...

Iris:
 Y-Yes...?

Phoenix:
 Just now, you called me
 by my name...
 You said, "Mr. Wright".

Phoenix:
 How did you know my name?
 I never introduced myself
 to you.

Iris:
 Th-That's...

Phoenix:
 ...Sister Iris.
 Please, tell me the truth.

Phoenix:
 You and I...
 Have we ever met before?

Iris:
 ...

*5 PSYCHE-LOCKS*

Phoenix:

Phoenix:

--------------------------------------------

 YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Phoenix:
 (Wh-What the...!?)

Phoenix:
 (That blood-curdling scream
 came from the courtyard!)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7, 11:06 PM
Hazakura Temple
Courtyard

Phoenix:
 (That scream... I'm sure
 it came from around here...)

Phoenix:
 ...Aaaah!

Phoenix:
 (S-Someone's there... On the
 ground...!)

Phoenix:
 M-Ms. Deauxniiiiiim!

 ...*squish*

Phoenix:
 (...I just stepped on
 something soft.)

Bikini:
 Hey! Don't step on my
 tummy like that!

Phoenix:
 Wh-What are you doing
 lying there in the snow!?

Bikini:
 I was passed out!
 What do you think!?

Phoenix:
 So that blood-curdling
 scream was you...?

Bikini:
 F-Forget about that!
 H-Hurry up and call
 the police!

Phoenix:
 Is there even a phone in
 the Main Hall?

Bikini:
 No, but we still get reception
 up here in the mountains!

Bikini:
 You must have a cell
 phone on you, right!?

Phoenix:
 I, um... I didn't bring it
 with me--

Bikini:
 Oh, you're useless!

Bikini:
 I mean, even Iris has
 a cell phone...

Bikini:
 We've got no choice!
 You'll have to use the public
 phone by Dusky Bridge!

Bikini:
 Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
 Run as fast as you can!

Phoenix:
 Y-Yes, ma'am...

Bikini:
 If you don't hurry,
 Iris will...
 Iris will...!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 7, 11:18 PM
Dusky Bridge

Phoenix:
 ...*huff*...*huff*...
 (It's farther than I thought.)

Phoenix:
 (The bridge is just up ahead.
 I have to go tell Maya what
 happened, too!)

Phoenix:
 ............

Phoenix:
 ...Aaaaaaaaaah!

Phoenix:
 Dusky Bridge...!
 It's burning down!
 (What the heck happened!?)

Butz:
 What are you doing here?

Phoenix:
 Aaaaaaaaah!

Butz:
 Huh? What is it?
 Is it me?

Phoenix:
 D-Don't scare me like that,
 Larry! I almost had a heart
 attack!

Butz:
 My name isn't Larry!
 It's Laurice!

Phoenix:
 Larry, hurry up and call
 the police! I'm going to
 the Inner Temple!

Butz:
 D-Don't be stupid!
 The bridge is nothing but a
 burning wreck right now!

Phoenix:
 Listen to me! There's been
 a murder! Here! At Hazakura
 Temple!

Butz:
 Wha-Whaaaaat!?

Phoenix:
 The murderer might have
 fled across the bridge!

Phoenix:
 I have to make sure
 Maya is safe!

Butz:
 B-B-But...

Phoenix:
 Please! Call the police!
 I've got to go!
 ...Get outta my way, Larry!

Butz:
 It-It's too dangerous!
 Nick, w-wait!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I must have been crazy...)

Phoenix:
 (I knew how dangerous it was,
 but I still went for it...)

 ...*crack!*...

Phoenix:
 AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Butz:
 Niiiiiick----!

Phoenix:
 (Weakened even more by the
 fire, the rickety old bridge's
 planks snapped and gave way.)

Phoenix:
 (And as I was swallowed by
 the eternal darkness that
 surrounded me...)

Phoenix:
 (...a final, terrified scream
 rose up to pierce the frozen
 air of that harrowing night.)


                                            To be continued.

Edgeworth:

Butz:
 Edgey! Get up!
 It's an emergency!

Edgeworth:
 ...Huh? Larry...?
 Do you know what time it is?

Butz:
 It's not "Larry"!
 It's "Laurice"!
 Laurice Deauxnim!

Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:
 (This is nothing more than

 I'll just roll over and...)

Butz:
 W-Wait! Don't hang up!
 ...It's an emergency!

Butz:
 It's Nick! H-He...
 He took a really nasty spill!

Edgeworth:
 Well, it wouldn't be the
 first time, so...

Butz:
 I'm not joking!
 His life is in danger!

Edgeworth:
 Wh-What...!?
 What happened!?
 Tell me!

Butz:
 Talk about a guy with bad
 luck! He may already be dead!

Butz:
 Anyway, you've got to come

 that can help!

Butz:
 My Iris... My beautiful Iris!
 She needs help...!

Edgeworth:
 Alright. I don't know what's
 going on, but... I'll be there
 as soon as I can.

Butz:
 I-I'm at the detention center!
 Please! Hurryyyyyy!

Phone:

Edgeworth:
 (It's been one year since
 I left that country...)

Edgeworth:
 (I thought I wouldn't have to

Edgeworth:
 (Sounds like it won't be a
 pretty reunion... As if I
 expected anything to change.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8, 2:19 PM
Detention Center
Visitor's Room

Butz:
 You're late, Edgey!
 What took you so long!?

Edgeworth:
 I don't want to hear it!
 I chartered a private jet to
 come as quickly as I could!

Butz:
 Well, you should've
 chartered a faster one!

Butz:
 Anyway, just listen!

Butz:
 Something happened to
 Ms. Elise... and Nick is...
 Maya... and Iris's Bikini...

Butz:
 ...Huh?

Butz:
 Say something, Edgey!

Edgeworth:
 ...Before I came here, I
 stopped in at the hospital
 where Wright is.

Edgeworth:
 I believe I have a better
 understanding of the situation
 than you, at this point.

Edgeworth:
 The murder victim was
 the picture book author,
 Ms. Elise Deauxnim.

Edgeworth:
 She was found by Wright and
 the head nun. The suspect is
 the temple's younger nun.

Edgeworth:
 Then later, while Wright was
 crossing the bridge, it broke
 and he fell into the river.

Edgeworth:
 The hospital says that he'll
 need at least 2 days of
 bed rest.

Butz:
 Y-Yes! Th-That's right!
 You got it!

Butz:
 B-But they arrested her...
 My sweet little Iris!

Edgeworth:
 (And here I was, convinced HE
 was the one the police had
 arrested...)

Edgeworth:
 However... I still don't
 understand what these
 two items are for.

Butz:
 What are you talking about?

Edgeworth:
 They're things Wright gave
 to me when I was leaving
 his room.

Edgeworth:
 (This is the first...)

Edgeworth:
 (He said some nonsense
 about being able to see into
 people's hearts with this...)

Edgeworth:
 (And the other... He couldn't
 possibly be asking what
 I think he is... could he?)

Butz:
 I'm begging you!
 Iris's trial starts tomorrow!

Butz:
 With Nick out of the picture,
 you're all I've got left!

Butz:
 You're the only one that
 can represent her!

Edgeworth:
 ...
 What did you just say?

Butz:
 You know!
 REPRESENT! DEFEND!
 What were you expecting!?

Butz:
 Why do you think I called
 you anyway!?

Edgeworth:
 ...I'm a prosecutor, Larry.
 A prosecutor.

Edgeworth:
 Do YOU understand what I'm
 saying? A prosecutor is a
 lawyer who...

Butz:
 Don't talk to me like a kid!
 I graduated from junior high,
 you know!

Butz:
 Don't worry about it!
 I promise I won't tell!

Edgeworth:
 But I...

Butz:
 I mean, I heard a paper badge
 had no problem fooling an
 entire court before!

Edgeworth:
 (...How could this country's
 judicial system have fallen
 into such decay!?)

Butz:
 Please, Edgey!

Butz:
 At least listen to her...
 Listen to Iris's side of
 the story!

Edgeworth:
 (So Wright wasn't joking
 when he gave me this
 badge after all...)

--------------------------------------------

Iris:
 Thank you for coming.
 ...My name is Iris.

Edgeworth:
 ...Edgeworth. Miles Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 I don't know if I can be
 of any help, but...

Edgeworth:
 ...I will at least hear what
 you have to say.
 ...About the murder.

Iris:
 Um...

Edgeworth:
 ...?

Iris:
 M-Mr. Wright!
 H-H-How is he?

Iris:
 Mr. Laurice said that he...
 That he might even die...

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Fortunately, he will be fine.
 (Larry, you moron! How could
 you say something like that!?)

Edgeworth:
 He was badly bruised when
 he hit the water, but
 otherwise he is unharmed.

Iris:
 ...
 Thank goodness...

Edgeworth:
 But, he's caught some kind
 of nasty cold.

Iris:
 A cold...?

Edgeworth:
 He's running a high fever and
 is drifting in and out of
 consciousness.

Iris:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 (I must be imagining things.)

Edgeworth:
 (This woman... I feel like
 I've met her before...)

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Surveillance camera ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The camera is glaring at me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   "If something glares at you,
+   it's only polite to return the
+   favor," is what I was taught.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Iris:
+   Um... Is something
+   bothering you?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...Hm? Oh, e-excuse me.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Guard ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The guard is glaring at me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   "If something glares at you,
+   it's only polite to return the
+   favor," is what I was taught.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Iris:
+   Um...
+   Are you alright,
+   Mr. Edgeworth?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...Hm? Oh, e-excuse me.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


MOVE
----

Edgeworth:
 ...Going to a crime scene is
 akin to entering a jungle
 teeming with dangerous beasts.

Edgeworth:
 Before he goes there, a hunter
 needs to make sure he has
 plenty of ammunition.

Edgeworth:
 And in my case, that
 ammunition is called,
 "information".

PRESENT (TO IRIS)
-----------------

*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Iris:
*   Is that an attorney's badge?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Yes, this belongs to Wright.
*
* Iris:
*   Really?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I'm actually a prosecutor.
*
* Iris:
*   Oh...! Then why do you
*   have a defense attorney's
*   badge pinned on your lapel...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Well, you see...
*   I, um... I borrowed it.
*
********************************************

*** Hanging Scroll *************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Who is the woman on this
*   hanging scroll?
*
* Iris:
*   Well, I don't know the
*   details, but...
*
* Iris:
*   I've heard she's the Master
*   of the Kurain Channeling
*   Technique.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   M-Master?
*
* Iris:
*   Yes. Mystic Misty.
*   She was a great spirit medium.
*   ...That's what I've heard.
*
* Iris:
*   I also heard that she went
*   missing over 15 years ago.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Spirit mediums... There's
*   no such thing anyway...
*
* Iris:
*   Mr. Edgeworth...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I know all about them...
*   They're nothing but frauds!
*
* Iris:
*   ...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (She doesn't know anything
*   about it, of course...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (But there was a time,
*   17 years ago, when I met
*   the "Master" myself...)
*
********************************************

*** Iris's Hood ****************************
*
* Iris:
*   That's called a
*   "Demon-Warding Hood".
*
* Iris:
*   ...I gave that to Mr. Wright
*   last night.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   He was wearing this when I
*   saw him at the hospital today.
*
* Iris:
*   It's an important item for
*   protecting acolytes from
*   evil spirits.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   If it's so important, then why
*   did you give it to him?
*
* Iris:
*   Last night... I felt...
*   something...
*
* Iris:
*   I felt that something
*   terrible was about to
*   happen...
*
* Iris:
*   I... I didn't want Mr. Wright
*   to fall into its grip.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Well he wound up falling into
*   something much deeper and
*   colder...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (I probably shouldn't say
*   that out loud, though. Thank
*   god for inner monologue.)
*
********************************************

*** "Oh! Cult!" New Year's Issue ***********
*
* Iris:
*   ...I was against the idea
*   of our temple appearing in
*   that magazine.
*
* Iris:
*   I was afraid that... this type
*   of a tragedy might occur.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   In that case, why did you
*   allow them to run an article
*   about you?
*
* Iris:
*   It was Sister Bikini...
*   She's actually rather fond of
*   attention... Surprisingly so.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (She certainly does look
*   rather happy in this photo...)
*
********************************************

*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Iris:
*   That's Mystic Elise Deauxnim.
*   She's a picture book author,
*   or so I've heard.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Does she come to
*   Hazakura Temple often...?
*
* Iris:
*   No... This was her first time.
*
* Iris:
*   It's just that...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...?
*
* Iris:
*   She was a very important
*   visitor.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Is that so?
*
* Iris:
*   Yes, Sister Bikini told me,
*   "Be certain not to offend
*   her."
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (The victim, Ms. Elise
*   Deauxnim...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (The prosecutor's office still
*   doesn't have much information
*   about her it seems...)
*
********************************************

*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Iris:
*   Mr. Wright...
*   How bad is his cold?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Well his fever is very high.
*   As a result, he's rather
*   confused.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   He's worried about Maya,
*   who is still trapped in the
*   Inner Temple...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...And he's quite worried
*   about you as well, it seems.
*
* Iris:
*   ...Really?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Yes... Naturally, once he
*   recovers, I'll pass the baton
*   back to him.
*
* Iris:
*   No... Don't...
*
* Iris:
*   I'm sure that Mr. Wright
*   wouldn't want that...
*
* Iris:
*   He wouldn't want to
*   defend me.
*
********************************************

*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Iris:
*   Oh... That's Mr. Laurice.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...I'm sorry?
*   Who did you say it was?
*
* Iris:
*   Laurice Deauxnim.
*   He is Mystic Elise's
*   apprentice, I think.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Alright... Now who exactly
*   is this guy...?)
*
* Iris:
*   He's a very sincere,
*   hard-working person.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Iris:
*   Um...
*   Did I say something wrong,
*   Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   E-Excuse me.
*   I was temporarily at a
*   loss for words.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Take a trip... Come home...
*   Be thrust suddenly into
*   bizarro world...)
*
********************************************

*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Iris:
*   You want to know about me?
*   There's not much to tell,
*   I'm afraid.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Just let me get one thing
*   straight. You were raised at
*   Hazakura Temple, correct?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   And yet, somehow, you seem
*   to know Wright.
*
* Iris:
*   ...!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   So you two must have crossed
*   paths somewhere.
*
* Iris:
*   ...No, Mr. Edgeworth.
*   Whomever it was...
*
* Iris:
*   ...it couldn't have been me.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (What is that supposed
*   to mean?)
*
********************************************

*** Anything else **************************
*
* Iris:
*   I'm sorry...
*
* Iris:
*   I don't leave the temple
*   grounds very often...
*
* Iris:
*   So I don't know very much
*   about the outside world.
*
********************************************

--------------------------------------------

*AFTER TALKING TO IRIS*

Edgeworth:
 Hmm...

Edgeworth:
 It appears that's about
 all that you can tell me.

Iris:
 Thank you very much for
 listening to my story.

Edgeworth:
 ...I visited Wright at the
 hospital before coming here.

Edgeworth:
 He asked me to take care
 of you...

Iris:
 ...M-Me?

Edgeworth:
 Yes, at the trial tomorrow...
 He asked me to defend you.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 If Mr. Wright has that much
 faith in you, Mr. Edgeworth...

Iris:
 ...Then I will gladly entrust
 my fate in your capable hands.

Edgeworth:
 But before that,
 I have one question.

Iris:
 Yes?

Edgeworth:
 Do you know Wright?

Iris:
 Er...
 Wh-Why would you ask that?

Edgeworth:
 Whenever you came up in our
 conversation, he would begin
 to act a little... strange.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Mr. Edgeworth...
 Are you his friend?

Edgeworth:
 Friend? Well...
 In a sense, yes.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 It was 5 years ago...

Iris:
 That's when I...
 That's when I...
 deceived him.

Edgeworth:
 You "deceived" him...?

Iris:
 I heard that he was...
 in a lot of pain after what
 happened.

Iris:
 I know what a weak person
 I am.

Iris:
 That's why...
 That's why I thought it was
 best if he never saw me again.

Iris:
 I wanted him to just forget
 about me, without learning
 the truth.

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Well, if you ask me, Wright is
 still suffering...

Edgeworth:
 And until he learns the truth,
 I don't think he will ever be
 able to truly recover.

Edgeworth:
 ...Iris.
 It's not too late.

Edgeworth:
 You should go to him.
 ...Tell him the truth.

Iris:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 I'll defend you, but only if
 you agree to that one
 condition.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Alright, Mr. Edgeworth...
 I promise.

Edgeworth:
 ...Very well. I'll do
 everything in my power to
 get you an acquittal.

Edgeworth:
 (That's enough information
 gathering for now. I should
 head to the crime scene...)

MOVE TO: "Suspension Bridge"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8
Dusky Bridge

Edgeworth:
 (It sure is cold alright...)

Edgeworth:
 (So this is it...
 Dusky Bridge...)

? ? ?:
 Ahem!
 M-Mr. Edgeworth!

Edgeworth:
 Urk... Detective Gumshoe.

Gumshoe:
 Long time no see!
 It's been about a year?
 ...Or has it been longer?

Edgeworth:
 It doesn't matter, Detective.
 What does matter is why you're
 shuffling around up here.

Gumshoe:
 Oh, ouch!
 ...And there was a
 sharp left jab!

Gumshoe:
 Well, I'm happy to see
 you anyway, Mr. Edgeworth!

Edgeworth:
 Let me guess... You were
 transferred into another
 section at work.

Edgeworth:
 A good choice. The vast amount
 of nothing up here must be
 quite easy to guard.

Gumshoe:
 I heard you were back in the
 country and arranged to come
 all the way out here!

Gumshoe:
 Everybody was real nice.
 They even let me take charge
 of the investigation, sir.

Edgeworth:
 (...Gumshoe indeed!
 Like gum on your shoe, he's
 impossible to get rid of!)

Gumshoe:
 I'm supposed to report on the
 details of the crime scene,
 sir!

Gumshoe:
 Anyway! Here I am!
 Detective Dick Gumshoe!
 Reporting for duty!

Edgeworth:
 ...Great.
 Um, thank you, Detective.

Gumshoe:
 I thought Prosecutor Godot
 was gonna get here before me.

Gumshoe:
 That guy's a real mystery,
 I tell you!

Edgeworth:
 (...Prosecutor Godot?)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Cliff on the other side ++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It looks like a pretty good
+   distance to that far cliff.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah... It's gotta be around
+   100 yards or so.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Detective... That's not even
+   CLOSE to a hundred yards.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Well...
+   I gotta admit I'm not very
+   good at judging distances.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (It's about 20 yards or so.
+   And impossible to cross
+   without a bridge, it seems...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Wooden sign on the left side +++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   There's a little shack down
+   that way called, "Heavenly
+   Hall".
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   A shack...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It's like a run-down doghouse
+   for losers that can't bear the
+   freezing drafts of wind...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Kinda reminds me of
+   my apartment, sir.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The name "Heavenly Hall"
+   makes it sound like a
+   palace...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Giving a hovel a great name
+   is a crime itself! I'd call
+   it false advertising!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   By the way, the name of my
+   apartment complex is
+   "Compton Castles"...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...That's not such a great
+   name, if you ask me.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Well, it's not such a
+   great apartment either, sir.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   So this is the bridge Wright
+   tried to cross?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Pretty reckless, if you
+   ask me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I'm amazed he survived the
+   fall from up here...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah, he's one lucky guy, sir.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Now I see how he manages
+   to win his cases in court.
+   Blind luck.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (I think dumb luck suits
+   Wright just a bit better.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stone boulder ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Some letters are wildly
+   engraved into a roughly
+   cut boulder.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   "Dusky Bridge"...
+   It certainly is an
+   appropriate name.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You need to get some glasses,
+   Mr. Edgeworth! That sign says,
+   "Dusty Bridge".
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I can see how you read
+   it wrong, though, sir.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   You're the one who needs
+   glasses, Detective.
+   Try reading it one more time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Ah! You're right!
+   It's "Dusky Bridge" after all!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+   I guess whoever wrote
+   this made a mistake!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Red public phone +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hey! It's a public phone!
+   You don't see a lot of
+   these anymore!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...That's true.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Since we've got one here,
+   why don't we take a photo as
+   a memento!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Well, um, sure. Why not?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh, darn it!
+   I don't have a camera with me!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...I'm gonna go buy a
+   disposable camera!
+   I'll be right back, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (What's so special about
+   public phones, and why is
+   he so fascinated by them...?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PRESENT (TO GUMSHOE)
--------------------

*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Huh?
*   What's that thing doing on
*   your lapel, Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...Is it really that odd?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   You bet it is, sir!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   A prosecutor wearing a
*   defense attorney's badge?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That's like a detective with
*   a license to kill!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Does this little thing hold
*   that ominous of a meaning...?)
*
********************************************

*** Magatama *******************************
*
* Edgeworth:</pre><pre id="faqspan-10">
*   Have you ever seen this
*   thing before...?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Hey, thanks a lot. I was
*   getting kind of hungry!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...*chomp!*
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Wh-What are you doing,
*   Detective!?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Ack!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...I thought it was some
*   kind of candy that would
*   fill me up, sir.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Lately I've been feeling
*   so hungry all the time...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Nngh... Maybe his salary has
*   been cut just a little too
*   much...?)
*
********************************************

*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Gumshoe:
*   There's a lot we don't know
*   about this victim...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   We don't know her real name,
*   her background...
*   We don't know anything really.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   That's rather odd...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   If she was trying to hide her
*   identity, why would she
*   become an author?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I'll bet it was just one
*   of those things.
*   You know...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She probably never
*   expected to get so
*   popular.
*
********************************************

*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Whenever something happens,
*   this guy always shows up like
*   he hasn't got a care.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   In fact, you know what...?
*   Every time he shows up, I
*   always wonder the same thing.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   "Maybe somehow he's
*   actually the cause of all
*   these incidents!"
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (I wonder if Gumshoe has
*   realized it yet...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (But you could say the exact
*   the same thing about him!)
*
********************************************

*** Dick Gumshoe profile *******************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Your face is more drawn out
*   than the last time I saw you
*   over a year ago.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   R-Really?
*   I thought so!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   No, wait...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It's not so much "drawn out",
*   as "weary and tired", or maybe
*   just plain old "thin".
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I thought that too, sir.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   My salary's been kinda
*   on the low end...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   So yeah, my food options
*   have been kinda non-existent.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Off-brand chicken soup,
*   off-brand spaghetti, off-brand
*   bread... That sort of stuff.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I thought you were really
*   into instant noodles last
*   year...?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...I got really sick of the
*   stuff after a while, sir.
*
********************************************

*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   He's supposed to be Ms. Elise
*   Deauxnim's apprentice or
*   something.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...I see.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, he drew a nice
*   portrait of me.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...That's nice.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   But he made me pay
*   him 50 cents for it.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...I'm sorry about that.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   You don't seem very
*   interested in him,
*   Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...I really don't want to talk
*   about him. That's why.
*
********************************************

*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I feel like I've seen this
*   girl somewhere before!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   She wasn't from a prior
*   case, was she?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Nope, can't be.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   We did a database search
*   with her fingerprints and
*   came up with nothing.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I see...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (I just can't shake this
*   nagging feeling...)
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Well, everyone knows that you
*   are quite popular with the
*   ladies, sir...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Maybe she's an old girlfriend
*   that you sent to Dumpsville
*   when you were younger.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   D-Detective!
*   Where did you hear such
*   nonsense from!?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I didn't hear it from anyone.
*   It's just sorta how I imagine
*   you to be... sir.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (...D-Do I really inspire this
*   sort of frothing desire from
*   the female masses?)
*
********************************************

*** Godot profile **************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I usually hear about promising
*   young prosecutor candidates
*   while they're still in school.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   But I've never seen or
*   heard of this person.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I gotta admit...
*   He's puzzling alright.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   He just appeared one day,
*   big mug of steaming coffee
*   in his hand...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Hmm...
*   He sounds like an interesting
*   man...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah... The whole prosecutor's
*   office is really into double
*   espresso macchiatos lately.
*
********************************************

*** Anything else **************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Look, I'm just your everyday,
*   simple detective.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Don't ask me such tough
*   questions, OK?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...That's not something to
*   be proud of, Detective!
*
********************************************

MOVE TO: "Detention Center"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8
Detention Center
Visitor's Room

Edgeworth:
 (It looks like Iris is being
 interrogated right now.)

Edgeworth:
 ...This place certainly
 brings back memories.

Gumshoe:
 Oh yeah. Come to think of
 it, you got thrown in here
 once too, didn't you, sir?

Gumshoe:
 But you know what?
 I've never been in jail
 a single time!

Edgeworth:
 (I should think it's hard to
 land in jail when you're so
 harmless...)

Edgeworth:
 Yes, well...

Edgeworth:
 If you're in jail, you don't
 have to pay for your own
 meals, you know.

Gumshoe:
 ...*gasp!*

Gumshoe:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Don't get any funny
 ideas, Detective...!

Gumshoe:
 ...Too late, I already did.

Edgeworth:
 (In any case... I guess I'll
 have to come back here
 later...)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Surveillance camera ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   That camera is meant to
+   monitor everything that
+   happens in here.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   And right now, it's pointed
+   straight at the guard.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Guard ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The guard is staring at me
+   with a puzzled expression
+   on his face.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Me... and the badge
+   on my lapel.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...I get the feeling he
+   recognizes me.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Main Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate

Butz:
 Yo! Edgey!
 What took you so long!?

Butz:
 I'm so cold, my brain's
 turned to sherbet.

Edgeworth:
 ...I knew it was a mistake to
 race back to this country.

Butz:
 Wh-What do you mean...?

Edgeworth:
 Wright is going to be fine,
 and the case itself isn't
 anything unusual...

Edgeworth:
 And I find myself taking a
 request to defend a woman
 accused of murder!

Gumshoe:
 ...H-Hey! Wait a sec!
 Hold it!
 Objection!

Gumshoe:
 What's going on here,
 Mr. Edgeworth!?

Edgeworth:
 Um, it's hard to explain,
 but one thing led to
 another and...

Butz:
 What kind of lame excuse
 is that!? And you call
 yourself a defense attorney!?

Gumshoe:
 Prosecutor Edgeworth is a
 prosecutor, and that's why
 he's Prosecutor Edgeworth!

Gumshoe:
 "Prosecutor Edgeworth, Defense
 Attorney" just sounds plain
 old weird, pal!

Gumshoe:
 ...Right,
 Prosecutor Edgeworth!?

Edgeworth:
 (...I'm not sure what role
 I'm supposed to be playing
 anymore.)

Butz:
 Hmph! Dude, Edgey...
 I don't see you for
 a couple of years...

Butz:
 ...and your heart turns
 to sherbet!

Edgeworth:
 ...I'd say more like sorbet.
 It is rather cold here.

Butz:
 Iris didn't murder her!
 Someone else did it!

Butz:
 I just know it, OK!?
 So trust me on this one!

Edgeworth:
 Ever the romantic,
 aren't you, Larry?

Edgeworth:
 Nevertheless, I'll do
 whatever I can to prove
 her innocence.

Edgeworth:
 (At least until I pass the
 baton on to Wright, that is.)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   This gate looks quite old;
+   strong enough to resist
+   the weight of time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That's the Mr. Edgeworth I
+   know! You got a real flair for
+   words, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I have always appreciated
+   this kind of old, timeless
+   elegance.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That's exactly how I
+   feel, too!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Take this coat for example!
+   Like a fine wine, it gets
+   better with age!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Even fine wine turns to
+   vinegar and begins to stink
+   at some point.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...I suggest you wash that
+   atrocious rag you call a
+   coat, Detective.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The Main Hall ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   That must be the Main Hall
+   back there.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   A brilliant deduction, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ............
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Are you trying to flatter me,
+   Detective Gumshoe?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Umm...
+   A brilliant use of suspense
+   to build the tension, sir!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (According to Wright, the head
+   nun has some important
+   information.)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (I can't miss the opportunity
+   to speak with her...)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Bell tower +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I can see a small bell tower
+   from here.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hey, that just reminded me!
+   There's something I've
+   always wondered about...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (Something tells me he's going
+   to tell me what's on his mind,
+   whether I like it or not...)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   We call a person who tells
+   a lie a "liar", right?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   So why don't we call a
+   person who rings a bell
+   a "beller"?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Or "truer" for a guy who tells
+   the truth! Oh man, I'm not
+   gonna get any sleep tonight!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (I had no idea he was
+   such a deep thinker...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snowmobile +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I suppose this type of thing
+   is necessary up here in the
+   mountains.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Say, this just gave me a
+   great idea!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (Something tells me he's going
+   to tell me what's on his mind,
+   whether I like it or not...)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I've got an idea for a brand
+   new invention! It might even
+   make me rich!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   An invention...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah! A car that can
+   travel on snow!
+   I'll call it a "Snow Car"!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   So what do you think, sir?
+   Would you go for a ride
+   on something like that?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...Only after you take the
+   first 1000 test rides.

PRESENT (TO BUTZ)
-----------------

*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Butz:
*   Come to think of it, when
*   you were a kid, you were
*   always saying,
*
* Butz:
*   "When I grow up, I want to be
*   a lawyer and defend people,"
*   or something like that.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...That was a long time ago.
*
* Butz:
*   But see, now you've got the
*   chance to follow your
*   boyhood dream for a day!
*
* Butz:
*   Edgey! You've gotta do it!
*   You gotta save my little Iris!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Grr... This is exactly why
*   I hate childhood friends...)
*
********************************************

*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Butz:
*   ...I still can't believe it.
*   She was such a great person...
*
* Butz:
*   But! Someone's pinning this
*   murder on my sweet little
*   Iris!
*
* Butz:
*   Edgey! Please!
*   I'm counting on you!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Well... Frankly, I was hoping
*   you could give me a little
*   more than that.
*
* Butz:
*   ...Errr. Well then...
*
* Butz:
*   I got it! I'll draw you a
*   portrait! How about that!?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*   Since you're kind enough
*   to offer... alright.
*
********************************************

*** Phoenix Wright profile *****************
*
* Butz:
*   He was a good guy...
*   A real pal to the end.
*
* Butz:
*   When I look back now, I have
*   nothing but good memories.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   What's with the past tense?
*   He's not dead, you know!
*
* Butz:
*   Yeah, you're right.
*   Anyway, the guy owes me.
*   After all, I saved his life.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   What is that supposed
*   to mean?
*
* Butz:
*   If I hadn't called for help
*   so quickly, he would have
*   died.
*
* Butz:
*   It's no surprise though. I
*   used to be a security guard.
*   It was all instinct, baby!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (He has a point... He called
*   me pretty quickly, too...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (I think Larry's pretty good
*   at motivating people.)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (I just wish he would try
*   motivating himself once
*   in a while!)
*
********************************************

*** Larry Butz profile *********************
*
* Butz:
*   Huh? Me? All you have to
*   know is to remember not to
*   call me "Larry" anymore.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   What...?
*
* Butz:
*   I'm a new person now.
*   I've been reborn...
*   as Laurice Deauxnim!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Alright, fine.
*   Let me ask you something
*   else then, Larry.
*
* Butz:
*   Call me "Laurice"!!
*   If you don't...
*
* Butz:
*   ...then I'll call you...
*   I'll call you...
*   "Milise Deauxnim"!
*
********************************************

*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I have a feeling that
*   she's hiding something...
*
* Butz:
*   Could be... After all, she's
*   shy and gets embarrassed
*   pretty easily.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...I don't think that has
*   anything to do with it.
*
* Butz:
*   Why not?
*   Look, I know all about this
*   kind of thing.
*
* Butz:
*   C'mon Edgey... You were a guy
*   once! Lots of girls are like
*   Iris. You know I'm right!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Well, you most certainly seem
*   to have convinced yourself!
*
* Butz:
*   Man, I love shy girls like
*   her! It-It's just so... cute!
*   You know what I mean?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Still doesn't listen to
*   others, I see... I guess some
*   people just never change.)
*
********************************************

*** Anything else **************************
*
* Butz:
*   Hey, I know I may not look
*   like it, but I'm an artist.
*
* Butz:
*   I refuse to look at anything
*   that doesn't have a radiant
*   or beautiful motif.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (...He didn't even give it
*   a glance.)

MOVE TO: "Main Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

Bikini:
 *sigh*

Gumshoe:
 Hey! Hello there!
 Um, so how are you feeling?

Bikini:
 Alright, I suppose.
 ...Huh? Who is this?

Edgeworth:
 I... My name is...
 Miles Edgeworth.

Bikini:
 My my my.
 A handsome boy such as
 yourself is always welcome!

Bikini:
 *sigh*
 If circumstances weren't
 so tragic, I might just...

Edgeworth:
 (Please don't call me "boy".)
 I'm sorry to trouble you...

Edgeworth:
 But I'm looking for a
 woman in a bikini.

Bikini:
 Well, you have found her.
 Now, what can I do for you?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 I'm sorry, but I don't see
 any bikinis...

Bikini:
 Ha ha ha!
 If you ask nicely, I might
 give you a peek, big boy.

Bikini:
 Wa ha ha ho ho ho!

Gumshoe:
 Umm... Mr. Edgeworth?

Gumshoe:
 This is the head nun,
 Sister Bikini... She's the
 witness.

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Why didn't you tell me that
 earlier!?

Edgeworth:
 This is exactly why your
 salary keeps on getting cut!

Gumshoe:
 Nngh...
 My stomach is already growling
 in protest...

Bikini:
 So... Um... What's the latest
 about my beloved Iris!?

Edgeworth:
 Well, first...
 I want to hear what you know.

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Walls/Sliding doors ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   There's flowing script
+   written everywhere on
+   the walls.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Man, I'd bet you'd have awful
+   nightmares if you tried to
+   sleep in here.
+
+ Bikini:
+   This is our Main Hall, so it's
+   protected by a variety of
+   magic spells and charms...
+
+ Bikini:
+   They're all designed to
+   prevent evil forces from
+   entering.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   So if I slept here the uggie-
+   woogie-boogieman wouldn't hunt
+   me down for eternity? Alright!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (Does this guy think about
+   anything other than eating
+   and sleeping...?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stuff on the floor +++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh! It's a warmed cat box!
+   But where are all the cats?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...It's called a "hibachi".
+   It's for heating the room.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh! Look at all these ancient
+   straw frisbees!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Those are a type of "zabuton"
+   cushions called "enza"!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Why are you giving me
+   such a hard time?
+   Huh, Mr. Edgeworth? Why?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Because learning something new
+   might actually be a good thing
+   for you, Detective!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Altar ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It's an altar with a giant
+   Magatama enshrined on it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   There are lots of candles
+   lined up on it, too.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You know...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I haven't had a birthday party
+   for myself in a while...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Maybe you should blow out
+   those candles over there to
+   make up for that.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Mr. Edgeworth?
+   Would you mind singing
+   "Happy Birthday" to me?
+
+ Bikini:
+   S-Stop that! Cut that out!
+   Please don't blow out the
+   altar candles!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Large Magatama on the altar ++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...That thing sure casts a
+   strong presence over the
+   whole room.
+
+ Bikini:
+   This is the "Lesser Magatama".
+   It's a precious heirloom
+   containing a great many souls.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Huh...!?
+   This is "lesser"!? What is
+   the "greater" one like?
+
+ Bikini:
+   The "Greater Magatama"
+   is displayed in the Main
+   Room of Fey Manor.
+
+ Bikini:
+   It was supposed to be
+   shown at the Treasures
+   of Kurain exhibit...
+
+ Bikini:
+   But, it was so large that
+   they couldn't bring it
+   through the doors.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Left corner near the altar +++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (There are more enza cushions
+   in the corner of the room.)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...What's that white piece of
+   paper sticking out from under
+   that stack...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hmm... Beats me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Would you mind checking that
+   for me, Detective Gumshoe?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Y-Yes, sir!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Here you are, Mr. Edgeworth!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It looks like an old
+   manila envelope...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Eeeeeeeeeeaaaah!!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...What is it, Detective?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Th-This...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   This could be it!
+   An ultra important clue!
+   A super-special clue!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...I suppose I should read
+   it myself then.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It looks like a letter
+   addressed to Sister Iris.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   "tonight at 10 at Heavenly
+   Hall. ... ...unless you want
+   your 'secret' to be exposed."
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Th-This sounds like
+   a blackmail letter...!
+
+ *Note to Iris added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Nice going there,
+   Mr. Edgeworth!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Why can't I ever find
+   clues like that!?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You're an ultra-important
+   prosecutor!!
+   A super-duper prosecutor!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Well, I suppose it takes a
+   super-duper kind of dumb to
+   miss a clue like this.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Left corner near the altar (again) +++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (There are more enza cushions
+   in the corner of the room.)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Nice going there,
+   Mr. Edgeworth!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Why can't I ever find
+   clues like that!?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You're an ultra-important
+   prosecutor!!
+   A super-duper prosecutor!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Well, I suppose it takes a
+   super-duper kind of dumb to
+   miss a clue like this.

* Gumshoe:

*   You never fail to surprise

*
* Bikini:
*   Yes... You don't look it,
*   but now I can see you're a
*   real fan of the occult!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Excuse me?
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh, of course this piece
*   couldn't possibly be real, but
*   to have such a nice replica...
*
* Bikini:
*   Clearly, you are a big fan of

*
* Gumshoe:

* Bikini:
*   Huh... Ahh!
*   Well, well, well...
*   Look what you've found!
*
* Bikini:
*   That's the Master of the
*   Kurain Channeling Technique,
*   Mystic Misty Fey!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   "Fey"...
*
* Bikini:
*   It's been nearly 20 years
*   since Mystic Misty's
*   disappearance.
*
* Bikini:
*   Apparently, she intended to
*   pass on the Master title to
*   her daughter.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Who is this daughter?
*
* Bikini:
*   Well, I myself am part

*
* Bikini:
*   But even I am not privy to

*** Iris's Hood ****************************
*
* Bikini:
*   Well, well, well!
*   That's a Demon-Warding Hood!
*
* Bikini:
*   Acolytes are highly

*   by evil spirits, you know.
*
* Bikini:
*   That's why we always wear
*   these for protection.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Oh, I see...
*
* Bikini:
*   What are you waiting for?
*   You won't get any protection
*   just by holding it, you know!
*
* Bikini:
*   Put it on already!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   No! I can't...!
*   I was just...!
*
* Bikini:
*   ...
*   Ha ha ha ho ho ho!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Ho ho ho!
*   It's like it was made just
*   for you, Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   What do you mean by
*   that, Detective!?
*
* Bikini:
*   It looks absolutely marvelous!
*   You've just got to keep it

*
* Bikini:
*   Of course I saw her.
*
* Bikini:
*   I told her to meet us after

*   lights out.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   So you're saying Iris came
*   to the Inner Temple then?
*
* Bikini:
*   Of course she did.
*   Iris has always been a good,

*
* Bikini:
*   After that, I had Maya begin

*
* Edgeworth:
*   (But that doesn't fit

*
* Bikini:
*   The Fey name is synonymous
*   with the Kurain Channeling
*   Technique.
*
* Bikini:
*   Therefore, she must be a

*   indeed.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Now that you mention it,

*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...there was a case that was

MOVE TO: "Courtyard"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 8
Hazakura Temple
Courtyard

Gumshoe:
 And this is where the
 murder took place, sir!

Gumshoe:
 Other than removing the body,
 we left everything else
 untouched!

Edgeworth:
 Thanks, Detective.
 I'll just have a look around.

Edgeworth:
 (It looks like the police are
 still investigating...)

Gumshoe:
 Oh yeah, by the way...
 I thought I'd better ask,
 just to be sure...

Gumshoe:
 Are you really gonna
 defend that nun, Iris, at
 the trial tomorrow?

Edgeworth:
 Yes, I will... I gave her my
 word and now I must follow
 through with my commitments.

Gumshoe:
 Well, in that case...
 I've gotta be careful...

Gumshoe:
 Gotta make sure I don't
 leak the prosecution's
 whole investigation...

Edgeworth:
 Don't worry about it,
 Detective.

Edgeworth:
 Just keep your mouth closed
 and I think most of it will
 flow out on its own.

Gumshoe:
 ...

Gumshoe:
 Roger, sir!
 I know exactly what
 you're saying!

Edgeworth:
 Very well, Detective...
 (Thankfully his diarrhea of
 the mouth is permanent...)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Lantern on the left ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It's a lantern... I suppose
+   they light it at night.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   There's something elegant
+   about the light of a fire.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   At the end of each month,
+   I always like to relax in
+   my room by candlelight.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Detective...
+   Can you not afford to pay
+   your electricity bill...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...How did you know?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The staff on the snow ++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   What's this...?
+   It looks like a wizard's
+   staff.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That belonged to the victim,
+   Ms. Elise Deauxnim.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   There's nothing strange or
+   magical about it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...Oh yeah!
+   Listen, this is just
+   between us, OK sir?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Yes... What?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   This is top-secret stuff!
+   Don't tell anyone about this.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...Alright.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   The truth is...
+   When I was a kid...
+   I wanted to be a wizard!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ......
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   That's it?
+   That's what you wanted
+   to tell me?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That's it.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (This staff was made from
+   a very strong kind of wood...)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...What about fingerprints?
+   Were there any on it?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Just the victim's.
+
+ *Victim's Staff added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ami Fey statue +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   So the sword from this
+   gold statue is actually
+   the murder weapon?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It sure is. It's called a
+   "Shichishito" by the way.
+   Nasty piece of work, sir.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   There's still blood on it...
+   I suppose this is the
+   victim's blood?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yup. It's all over the blade.
+   And speaking of "all
+   over the blade"...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   There are fingerprints
+   all over the hilt of the
+   Shichishito, too.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Fingerprints...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Naturally they match the
+   prints we got from the
+   younger nun, the defendant.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (Her fingerprints are on
+   the murder weapon...!?)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   What's wrong?
+   You're looking really solemn.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Is this how it is for Wright?
+   Is this what it's like to be
+   a defense lawyer?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah, I figure it doesn't
+   feel really good.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...To be honest, it feels
+   more like it's detrimental
+   to your health.
+
+ *Shichishito added
+ to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stone wall +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The Main Gate must be just
+   over that stone wall.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Ah, stone walls...
+   I jumped over a few of
+   those in my time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Most of them are good
+   memories, but not all.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Detective... Perhaps someone
+   should introduce you to the
+   concept of paucity of words...
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Top right corner +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The Main Hall of Hazakura
+   Temple is above us here.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hey... You're right!
+   But I'm pretty sure the Main
+   Hall didn't have a 2nd floor.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Hazakura Temple was built on a
+   steep part of the mountain.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The front and back of the
+   Main Hall are on different
+   levels.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh... That makes sense...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   But wouldn't it be easier
+   just to build the place
+   slanted, sir?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (I fail to see how he can
+   consider that to be an even
+   remotely good idea.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ski apparatus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Ah! I just love skiing!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Really? You don't um...
+   seem like the type.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Well, what about sleds?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Sleds? Nah. They're a little
+   too kiddy, you know? Messes
+   with my "hard boiled" image.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...What's with the silence,
+   Mr. Edgeworth?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (I...Is the world starting to
+   go mad?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*   had if I hadn't joined the
*   Homicide Division.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...So you think about
*   that kind of thing too, huh?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Of course I do.
*   I think about it a lot.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Me as a traffic cop.
*   Me as a detention officer.
*   Me as the Blue Badger...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (...I guess he doesn't have
*   any plans to leave the force.)

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   This is the witness who saw
*   the crime take place out there
*   in the temple courtyard.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I'm pretty sure it's gonna be
*   her testimony that'll be key
*   to this case, sir.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   So you mean she's going to
*   be a witness in the trial
*   tomorrow...?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Of course!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   A nun is as trustworthy
*   as you can get! We got
*   this one in the bag!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*   Oh.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I-I mean, I've always been
*   on your side, Mr. Edgeworth,
*   sir!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   So yeah, this is a pretty
*   tight spot we've gotten
*   ourselves into, huh!?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Now I understand why Wright
*   is always breaking into a
*   cold sweat...)

********************************************

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I wonder if Maya is alright?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I could never show my face
*   to Wright again if something
*   were to happen to her.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Aww, it'll be OK.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   If that ever happens, you
*   can just show him my face.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   How's that...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Ack!
*   Um, I didn't mean it like
*   that, sir!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   It was just a silly
*   little joke!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I wonder if there is another
*   way to get across to the
*   other side?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   The support wires for the
*   bridge are still intact,
*   correct?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That bridge is almost
*   20 yards long...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I know I may look like it,
*   Mr. Edgeworth, but I'm
*   no super hero.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (In any case, I just hope
*   Maya is alright...)

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   What about Pearl...?
*   Has no one seen her at
*   all since last night?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Seems that way...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Apparently, she hasn't gone
*   back to Kurain Village either,
*   sir.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   But it's true that she was
*   with Elise Deauxnim at some
*   point last night?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   No doubt about it.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Ah...!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Y-You mean that maybe
*   whoever killed Ms. Deauxnim
*   also...!?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   D-Don't jump to any
*   crazy conclusions!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oooooouuuch!

*** Note to Iris ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   This letter... It appears to
*   be addressed to you.
*
* Iris:
*   ...
*
* Iris:
*   I think it's someone's idea
*   of a joke, Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* Iris:
*   That's why I threw it away.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (She's not giving me a
*   straight answer for some
*   reason.)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (I'm going to have to find
*   someone else who can give me
*   more information about this.)
*
********************************************

*** Shichishito ****************************
*
* Iris:
*   I-Is that the murder weapon?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Yes, it is.
*   Have you ever seen it before?
*
* Iris:
*   Y-Yes.
*   Mystic Ami was holding it...
*   in the courtyard...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (And apparently, the head
*   nun witnessed the whole sad
*   affair...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (She saw you stabbing

*
* Iris:
*   Oh... That's Mr. Laurice.
*
* Iris:
*   He's a very sincere,

*
* Iris:
*   He was even kind enough to
*   draw a portrait of me.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Knowing Larry...)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (...this woman is exactly the

*
********************************************

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...I'd like to ask you about
*   Sister Bikini, the head of
*   Hazakura Temple.
*
* Iris:
*   She raised me as if she
*   were my real mother.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   "As if she were your
*   real mother"...?
*
* Iris:
*   I was left at Hazakura Temple
*   when I was just a small child.
*
* Iris:
*   And she's taken care
*   of me ever since.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Forgive me for sounding rude,

*
* Iris:

*   I'm sorry, but I'd rather

-- I Was Frightened --

Edgeworth:
 Since I have been handed this
 case, it is my duty to dig up
 all the answers. Understand?

Iris:
 Y-Yes, sir...

Edgeworth:
 The smallest flame can
 sometimes bathe a case
 in a whole new light...

Edgeworth:
 In my years in court,
 I've seen it happen over
 and over again.

Edgeworth:
 That's why I'm committed to
 searching until I have those
 answers.

Edgeworth:
 Now then, is it really true
 that you didn't go to the
 Inner Temple last night...?

Iris:
 Y-Yes, I swear...
 I already told you that.

Edgeworth:
 ...Yes. You said you didn't
 go because you were
 frightened.

Iris:
 ...Th-That's right.

Edgeworth:
 If that's the case...

Edgeworth:
 ...then the obvious question
 is, "What were you so afraid
 of?"

Iris:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Iris...
 I wonder.

Edgeworth:
 Is this what frightened you so
 much that you couldn't even
 leave your own room!?

x Edgeworth:

*Present Note to Iris*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 I found this in the Main Hall.
 It is addressed to you.

Iris:
 Ah... Th-That's...!

Edgeworth:
 Well, Iris...?

Iris:
 Why... Why are you glaring
 at me like that?

Edgeworth:
 You were scared of the
 blackmailer who wrote this
 to you, isn't that correct!?

Iris:
 Aaaaah!

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Edgeworth:
 (Was it the evidence or the

Edgeworth:
 (Oh well, I don't suppose
 it matters either way.)

Iris:
 B-But, Mr. Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 ...Yes?

Iris:
 I thought that letter was
 just someone playing a
 prank on me...

Edgeworth:
 A "prank"?

Iris:
 Well, yes...

Iris:
 After all, even if I did have
 a "secret"...

Iris:
 ...there's no one to tell it
 to that would cause me
 any grief.

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Hmm... I wonder about that.

Iris:
 Sister Bikini is like a
 mother to me.

Iris:
 I would never hide
 anything from her!

Edgeworth:
 No, you may not have
 anything to hide under
 normal circumstances.

Edgeworth:
 However!
 Last night was different.

Iris:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 Unfortunately, I don't know
 the exact nature of your
 secret yet.

Edgeworth:
 However...!
 Whatever it is...

Edgeworth:
 ...there is one person you
 didn't want your secret told
 to!

x Iris:
x   ...you yourself have a deep,

x
x Edgeworth:

x   Why do you say that...!?
x
x Iris:
x   As they say, it takes

x
x Edgeworth:
x   (How could she have known

x
x Edgeworth:
x   ...It's true that there is a

x
x Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:
 You mean something to

Edgeworth:
 And I can tell he holds a

 as well.

Edgeworth:
 That's why you didn't want

Edgeworth:

Iris:
 Yes. That's exactly right.

*Iris's Testimony added
to the Court Record.*

Edgeworth:
 The trial starts tomorrow...
 I promise you, I will win.

Edgeworth:
 I'm going to win so that
 you and Phoenix Wright can

Iris:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 But when I do...

Edgeworth:
 ...you must promise me
 that you will tell him
 your secret.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 But it's pointless...

Edgeworth:
 Why would you say that?

Iris:
 Because I may know who
 Phoenix Wright is...

Iris:
 But...
 He has no idea who I am.

Gumshoe:
 Whoa! Not much of a
 view down here, huh?

Gumshoe:
 It's still better than the
 view from my apartment,
 though.

Edgeworth:
 Tsk! Someone's here!
 Hide yourself, Detective!

--------------------------------------------

? ? ?:
 Oh! Why why why!?
 Why does this always happen!?

Butz:
 Whenever I find a girl I like,
 they always run away!

Butz:
 I even chased one of them
 to Tibet... Next it's going
 to be prison, I guess.

Butz:
 ...I'll steal that detective's
 wallet. That'll get me
 locked up for sure.

Butz:
 ...Nah. I can't do that to
 someone who looks like he's
 down on his luck.

Gumshoe:
 ...He's just talking to
 himself.

Edgeworth:
 Shh! Be quiet and listen!

Butz:
 I knew it... I shouldn't
 have done that!
 I blew it again...

Edgeworth:
 ("Done that"?
 What did he do, I wonder...)

Gumshoe:
 Hey! You!
 About what you just said...
 I got an objection!

Butz:
 Wh-Wh-Wh-What the...!?
 Ed-Edgey!
 You dirty rat!

Edgeworth:
 *glare*
 (Gumshoe... You oaf...!)

Gumshoe:
 I-I'm sorry, sir!

Gumshoe:
 Before I knew it, I was
 shouting out, "Objection!".

Gumshoe:
 And in a loud, commanding
 voice, too! I even pointed
 with my pointer finger!

Edgeworth:
 ...You've watched too
 many trials.

Gumshoe:
 I'm sorry!

Edgeworth:
 OK, Larry, the jig is up.
 What have you got to say
 for yourself?

Butz:
 Ungh...

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ River ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   This is the Eagle River, sir.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It runs pretty fast, so it
+   doesn't ice over, even in
+   the winter.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   If it had iced over, Wright
+   would have been in some
+   serious trouble.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You're right about that!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   He would've landed on
+   the ice, and slid downstream
+   to who knows where.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (...Not exactly what I meant,
+   but alright...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It's a little far, but I have
+   a pretty clear view of Dusky
+   Bridge from here.
+
+ Butz:
+   Ahh. I still can't believe it!
+   ...Really.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...?
+   What is it, Larry?
+
+ Butz:
+   Huh! Err, uhh, nothing.
+   It's nothing!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Sounds pretty suspicious
+   to me!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (Something about that
+   statement smells... And you
+   know what they say...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stairs +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   These go all the way to Dusky
+   Bridge. It's a pretty long,
+   but easy, walk.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I fell down 4 times on
+   my way down here, sir!
+
+ Butz:
+   Oh, sorry about that,
+   Detective.
+
+ Butz:
+   I ate four bananas and tossed
+   their peels on the stairs on
+   my way down here...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   What!? So that's what I was
+   slipping on!
+
+ Butz:
+   Be careful on the way back.
+   Those deadly banana peels
+   are still out there.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hmm... That's a real important
+   piece of information right
+   there, Mr. Edgeworth!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Flags ornament +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   What is this festive-looking
+   ornament?
+
+ Butz:
+   It reminds me of art class
+   in grade school.
+
+ Butz:
+   We used to have a lot of fun
+   decorating the classroom with
+   origami. Remember?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   W-Well, I...
+
+ Butz:
+   Oh, yeah...
+   You were never any good
+   at it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Really?
+
+ Butz:
+   Yeah, this guy was so bad,
+   he couldn't even fold a
+   dollar, let alone a crane.
+
+ Butz:
+   Everyone tried to comfort
+   him, but he would just sit
+   there sobbing.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Really? I never would have
+   expected that.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Be quiet already! I'll never
+   forget the shame of that day!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   You want a crane! I can now
+   make a perfect quarter-inch
+   crane without a single flaw!
+
+ Butz:
+   ...
+   You know, Edgey...
+
+ Butz:
+   Nothing for nothing, but a
+   quarter-inch crane without
+   a single flaw is not easy.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah, that's quite a feat,
+   Prosecutor Edgeworth!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   (Grr... This is exactly why
+   I hate childhood friends...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The shack ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That's a horrible graffiti
+   problem you've got there, pal.
+
+ Butz:
+   You don't know anything,
+   Detective. This is art!
+
+ Butz:
+   It's an expression of my
+   bittersweet love for Iris.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Larry. Do you know what
+   the difference between
+   graffiti and true art is?
+
+ Butz:
+   ...
+
+ Butz:
+   It's how the artist himself
+   defines it, right?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+   (I should've seen that one
+   coming.)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Well, if that's the case, then
+   all of my lunchboxes are
+   masterpieces too, pal!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Shack's roof +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   The straw roof is totally
+   covered with freshly fallen
+   powdery snow.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Wow, makes a nice image,
+   doesn't it? I always did like
+   the rustic look.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   "Heavenly Hall"...
+   I suppose it's an appropriate
+   name in some sense.
+
+ Butz:
+   You got that right.
+
+ Butz:
+   Look at that bridge up there.
+   This place has to be heaven,
+   because that thing is hell.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+   You would do well to remember,
+   Larry...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...that this is a sacred place
+   to some people.
+

*** Victim's Staff *************************
*
* Butz:
*   That's the staff that
*   Ms. Elise was always
*   carrying...
*
* Butz:
*   M-Ms. Elise...
*   Whyyyy...?
*
* Butz:
*   ......
*   ...Huh?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   What is it, Larry?
*
* Butz:
*   There's something missing
*   from this staff...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (There's something
*   missing...?)
*
********************************************

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Butz:
*   I'm just no good with
*   people like her.
*
* Butz:
*   She reminds me too much
*   of my mother.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*   May I speak now?
*
* Butz:
*   Huh? Sure.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I don't care how you feel
*   about her personally...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...just tell me what you know
*   about her and how she's
*   related to the case.
*
* Butz:
*   ...
*
* Butz:
*   Don't you think you're
*   expecting a little too
*   much of me?
*
* Butz:
*   I'm just a 25 year old
*   jobless bum trying to
*   be an apprentice artist!
*
* Butz:
*   Ha ha ha ha!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (...I'm actually starting
*   to feel jealous of this guy.
*   ...Just a little.)

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Butz:
*   Oh, it's Maya.
*
* Butz:
*   Nick was trying to go
*   save her, you know.
*
* Butz:
*   But instead, he wound up
*   falling off the bridge.
*
* Butz:
*   I'm not surprised though.
*   Nick always gets himself
*   into trouble.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (Well if that isn't the pot
*   calling the kettle black...)
*
* Butz:
*   I just hope that Maya
*   doesn't catch a cold, too...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...Or something worse.

********************************************

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Butz:
*   Oh, hey! It's Pearl!
*
* Butz:
*   But she's way cuter than this
*   Pearl I used to go out with...
*   Like, in a kid-cute way, yeah?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Yes, well... Apparently she
*   hasn't been seen the
*   whole morning.
*
* Butz:
*   Wh-What did you say!?
*   Edgey!
*
* Butz:
*   Why are you wasting your

*3 PSYCHE-LOCKS*

-- The Night of the Crime --

Edgeworth:
 Alright, now you're going to
 tell me what you really saw
 last night...

Butz:
 Whoa. You're really upset,
 aren't you, Edgey?
 OK, I'll talk!

Edgeworth:
 ...Huh?
 (That was a bit too easy...)

Butz:
 Yeah, anyway! It was awesome!
 Never seen anything like it!

Butz:
 At around 10 o'clock last
 night, it started thundering.

Butz:
 I'd been sleeping...
 I'm not sure for how long.

Butz:
 Suddenly... ZING!
 The world in front of
 me went white!

Butz:
 Like I'd just been slapped
 in the face by my old
 girlfriend, Naomi!

Edgeworth:
 ...And then?

Butz:
 And then...
 It was on fire!
 The bridge was on fire!

Edgeworth:
 Dusky Bridge caught on fire!?
 Are you saying you saw it
 with your own eyes?

Butz:
 Hey! Why are you giving me
 the evil eye!?
 I'm telling the truth!

Edgeworth:
 (Hmm... There are still 3
 Psycholocks remaining...)

Edgeworth:
 (That means he's still
 trying to hide something...)

Edgeworth:
 By the way, Larry...
 Where were you when
 you saw that happen?

Butz:
 Wh-Wh-Wh-Where you say?
 Wh-Wh-What do you mean!?

Edgeworth:
 What do you mean,
 "What do I mean"!?
 ...Just answer the question!

Butz:
 I-I was in my own room...
 by the Main Hall!

Butz:
 Where else would I be!?

Edgeworth:
 As usual, you're as
 transparent as an empty
 jelly jar.

Edgeworth:
 The problem, I suspect, lies
 there...

Butz:
 Th-Th-Th-Th-There?
 Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Whaddya
 mean th-th-there?

Edgeworth:
 It's impossible for you to
 have seen lightning strike
 Dusky Bridge from your room!

x Edgeworth:
x   *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Edgeworth:
x   Look at this, Larry!
x
x Butz:
x   ...
x   Hey, forget about that.
x   Try drinking your hot water.
x
x Butz:
x   If you don't drink it fast
x   it's going to get cold.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   Oh, sorry...
x
x Edgeworth:
x   (It's cold alright...
x   The water...
x   And my evidence.)
x
x Butz:
x   Well? Have you calmed
x   down yet?
x
x Edgeworth:
x   Um, yes... I'm going
x   to think it over again.
x
x Butz:
x   H-Hey, I'm telling you...
x   there's nothing to think over!
x
x Butz:
x   I was in my room doing
x   "she loves me, she loves me
x   not" with a bunch of flowers.

*Present Hazakura Temple Map*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 This is a map of the area.
 Take a look around the
 vicinity of Hazakura Temple.

Butz:
 Wh-What am I looking for?

Edgeworth:
 I think that should be
 fairly obvious.

Edgeworth:
 The Main Hall is surrounded
 by trees and it's impossible
 to see the bridge from here.

Butz:
 What...!?
 Why didn't you tell me
 that before!?

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Edgeworth:
 ...Well? How about it?

Butz:
 How about what?

Edgeworth:
 Do you feel like talking now?

Butz:
 About what?

Edgeworth:
 ...
 (It looks like it won't be
 that easy after all...)

Edgeworth:
 ...You leave me no choice.
 I'll have to move on to the
 next step.

Edgeworth:
 You weren't in your room at
 the temple. So then...
 Where were you?

Butz:
 Y-Y-You don't know that
 I wasn't in my room!

Edgeworth:
 (So where was Larry, and
 why was he there...?)

Edgeworth:
 (If I've read the situation up
 to this point correctly, the
 answer is fairly obvious.)

Edgeworth:
 ...Very well then.
 Let's test my theory.

Edgeworth:
 The place you witnessed
 lightning striking Dusky
 Bridge from was... here!

xxx Present anywhere else xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Edgeworth:
x   *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Edgeworth:
x   This is where you were!
x   Well, what do you think,
x   Larry!?
x
x Butz:
x   Oh... Not much I guess.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   ...
x   I'm sorry, but what kind of
x   answer is that?
x
x Butz:
x   Well, you were just making
x   small talk, right? Like "How
x   are you doing?" or something.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   ...Larry.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   Look at the expression on
x   my face. Do I look like I was
x   just making small talk?
x
x Butz:
x   To be honest?
x   No... I guess not.
x   Ha ha ha ha ha...
x
x Edgeworth:
x   (It appears I didn't think it
x   through carefully enough.)

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Present Heavenly Hall*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 The place you saw the
 lightning strike from was
 naturally Heavenly Hall!

Butz:
 ...Wh-Why would I be hanging
 out in this old shack?

Butz:
 It's freezing cold, there's no
 electricity, and it could fall
 apart at any minute...

Edgeworth:
 Larry... How do you know
 that anyway?

Edgeworth:
 How do you know there's
 no electricity? After all,
 it's not that dark yet.

Butz:
 Ah... Uh-oh!

Edgeworth:
 In other words, you have just
 provided evidence to prove
 my theory...

Edgeworth:
 My theory that you've at least
 once in your life visited
 Heavenly Hall after sunset!

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Butz:
 I have to admit I'm impressed,
 Edgey! You're in a totally
 different league from Nick.

Edgeworth:
 ...That's nice.
 Now tell me.

Edgeworth:
 What were you doing at this
 cold little shack last night?

Butz:
 That's what you might call...
 A "Fair de Core".

Edgeworth:
 I think you mean
 "affaire de coeur".

Edgeworth:
 Could it be you were...
 waiting for someone?

Butz:
 Ooooh nooo!

Butz:
 Y-You really are one
 scary guy, you know...

Edgeworth:
 I believe that last night, you
 were waiting for this person
 to come meet you!

xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Edgeworth:
x   *TAKE THAT!*
x
x Edgeworth:
x   ...Well, Larry!?
x   Was it THIS person...?
x
x Butz:
x   ...You know what?
x
x Butz:
x   You should save your finger
x   pointing for the courtroom.
x
x Edgeworth:
x   Tsk...!
x
x Butz:
x   It's no wonder people call you
x   a workaholic. You work too
x   hard! You should be like me!
x
x Edgeworth:
x   (Well, I'd rather "work too
x   hard" than "hardly work"
x   like a loafaholic like you...)
x
x Edgeworth:
x   In any case...
x   I know you were waiting
x   for someone!
x
x Butz:
x   Yeah, but... It's like I said.
x   It's an "affaire de guerre".
x
x Edgeworth:
x   No, Larry. You mean
x   "affaire de coeur".
x   At least I think you do.

*Present Iris profile*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 There's only one person you'd
 wait for in a horrible place
 like this, Larry.

Butz:
 I told you before...
 Don't call me "Larry"...

Edgeworth:
 The person you were
 waiting for was... Iris!

Butz:
 Ohh... Suddenly I feel
 cold all over, Edgey.

Edgeworth:
 No doubt because of my
 chilly glare.

Butz:
 So you think I got the hots
 for Sister Iris, huh...?

Butz:
 D-Do you have some
 kind of evidence!?

Butz:
 You got something that proves
 I was waiting for her!?
 Or are you just guessing?

Edgeworth:
 (This is where I draw the
 line and end this ridiculous
 little game...)

Edgeworth:
 Here's the evidence that
 you were waiting for Iris...

*Present Note to Iris*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Here's your evidence.

Edgeworth:
 You called her to this spot
 with a pathetic blackmail
 letter!

Butz:
 Oh! H-Hey!
 G-G-Give that back!
 You're embarrassing me!

Butz:
 What are you doing with
 that anyway!?

Edgeworth:
 That's not important!
 ...I misjudged you, Larry.

Butz:
 What do you mean...?

Edgeworth:
 Taking advantage of a woman's
 frailty like that! You should
 be ashamed of yourself!

Butz:
 Ohhh... OHHHH!

Edgeworth:
 First of all, what's this at
 the top of the letter?
 It says, "Salutation here"!

Butz:
 W-Well that's what it said
 in that book, "Letter Writing
 for Dummies"!

Edgeworth:
 You're not supposed to
 actually write that!

Edgeworth:
 That's where you're supposed
 to write, "Dear Iris,"!

 WAAAAAAAAH!!!

District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

Iris:
 Oh my... Mr. Laurice feels
 that way about... me...?

Edgeworth:
 Apparently... he isn't aware
 of your real secret at all.

Iris:
 ...
 ......

Edgeworth:
 This is no time to be
 embarrassed!

Iris:
 I-I'm sorry!

Iris:
 I'm just... hardly accustomed
 to that sort of thing.

Edgeworth:
 Worry not... And in any case,
 whatever it was that he saw on
 the night of the incident...

Edgeworth:
 Mark my words, I will drag
 it out him!

Iris:
 Does that mean... Mr. Laurice
 is the witness today...?

Edgeworth:
 ...No.

Edgeworth:
 I believe that nun...
 will be the first to take
 the stand.

Iris:
 Sister Bikini...

Edgeworth:
 She claims to have seen the
 very instant in which you
 carried out the crime.

Iris:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 I just want to ask you one
 last time.

Edgeworth:
 It really wasn't you who
 killed Ms. Elise Deauxnim,
 correct?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 That is correct. It wasn't
 me.

Edgeworth:
 ...Very well then.

Iris:
 Um... Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:
 ...Yes?

Iris:
 You are a prosecutor...
 aren't you?

Iris:
 Are you sure about this?
 If your true identity is
 revealed...

Edgeworth:
 Don't worry.
 ...I've taken the necessary
 steps.

Iris:
 Y-You have...?

Edgeworth:
 ...Iris.

Edgeworth:
 It is a prosecutor's job
 to doubt people.

Iris:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 But right now... I am a
 defense attorney.

Edgeworth:
 A defense attorney's job is to
 believe in people, and to
 believe until the bitter end.

Edgeworth:
 That's what a friend of mine
 told me once.

Iris:
 Mr. Edgeworth...

Edgeworth:
 You may pass judgment on me
 from the defendant's chair.
 You are the one to decide...

Edgeworth:
 ...whether or not I am able
 to do the task I have been
 entrusted.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 ...Very well, sir.
 I leave my defense in
 your capable hands.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 7

Judge:
 Court is now in session for
 the trial of Sister Iris of
 Hazakura Temple.

Edgeworth:
 The defense is ready,
 Your Honor.

Judge:
 ...The defense does indeed
 appear to be ready...

Judge:
 However, the same cannot be
 said for the prosecution in
 this case.

Edgeworth:
 ...Indeed.

Judge:
 I'm not sure I like such
 blatant waste of this
 court's time.

Judge:
 An empty prosecutor's chair
 can only mean...

Judge:
 ...that the prosecutor has no
 confidence in their ability to
 prove their case.

Judge:
 It would seem this case is
 already over before it had
 a chance to begin.

Judge:
 I am ready to announce my
 verdict at this time. This
 court finds the defendant...

? ? ?:
 *OBJECTION!*

? ? ?:
 The prosecution...
 stands ready.

Judge:
 A-And you are...?

von Karma:
 Franziska von Karma...
 Prosecuting prodigy.

Judge:
 V-Von Karma, you say...?

Judge:
 Perchance, you wouldn't be of
 any relation to the legendary
 prosecutor Manfred von Karma?

von Karma:
 ...

von Karma:
 Legends are a thing of the
 past. I am a Von Karma.
 That is all.

von Karma:
 Upon a special request, I flew
 in today for the purposes of
 prosecuting this case.

Judge:
 Y-You did!?
 Then... you must be quite a
 big shot, eh!

Judge:
 By the way,
 Mr. Edgeworth...

Edgeworth:
 Yes, Your Honor?

Judge:
 I'm almost certain that I've
 seen you somewhere before.
 Or am I just imagining things?

Judge:
 You look very much like a
 prosecutor I met once...

Edgeworth:
 ...I believe you are imagining
 things, Your Honor.

Judge:
 Ms. von Karma?
 Do you have anything to say?

von Karma:
 ...

von Karma:
 There is no such weakling as
 this man among those of the
 Prosecutor's Office.

Judge:
 There... there isn't...?
 But I'm sure... once before,
 in this courtroom...

Judge:
 Ack!

von Karma:
 ...I told you, there is no
 such weakling!

Judge:
 Wh-What is that!? A whip!?
 I'm not sure I care for such a
 thing in my courtroom!

Judge:
 B-Bailiff! Remove that whip,
 at...

Edgeworth:
 *HOLD IT!*

Edgeworth:
 ...I have no objection to
 the whip.

Judge:
 Y-You don't...?

Edgeworth:
 The prosecution can wield a
 whip or drink seventeen cups
 of coffee...

Edgeworth:
 But there is still only one
 truth. That is what I stand
 here to prove today!

von Karma:
 This promises to be
 interesting...
 Miles Edgeworth.

von Karma:
 ...I had expected to face
 Phoenix Wright here today.

von Karma:
 But looking at you now...

von Karma:
 ...maybe this is what I have
 been waiting for all this
 time.

von Karma:
 Miles Edgeworth! I will not
 allow this chance to crush
 you slip through my fingers!

Edgeworth:
 ...I see you brought your
 flair for the histrionic.

Judge:
 Allow me to add to the things
 I'm not sure about... People
 acting bizarrely in my court!

Judge:
 Uwa-hah!

von Karma:
 ...The stage is set.
 Now continue with the
 proceedings, Your Honor.

Judge:
 Very well. Ms. von Karma,
 please give an outline of
 this case.

Judge:
 With as little whipping as
 possible!

von Karma:
 The murder victim is the
 famed picture book author,
 Ms. Elise Deauxnim.

von Karma:
 Her body was found in the
 Hazakura Temple courtyard.

von Karma:
 She had been stabbed through
 the torso by a ceremonial
 sword from a golden statue.

Judge:
 The sword in this picture...
 is the weapon in question,
 correct...?

Judge:
 ...Very well.
 The court accepts this
 photo of the crime scene.

*Crime Photo added to the
Court Record.*

von Karma:
 There is no mistake. This
 was the doing of Sister Iris.

von Karma:
 After all... there is a
 witness to her crime.

Judge:
 ...Very well.

Judge:
 Please bring this witness to
 the stand!

Edgeworth:
 (And so it begins...)

Edgeworth:
 (My first and my last trial...
 as a defense attorney!)

--------------------------------------------

von Karma:
 ...Witness. State your name
 and occupation. Please.

Judge:
 H-Hold on here! I'm not sure
 about being not sure if
 I care for this at all!

Judge:
 Witness! Please stand up
 nice and straight!

Edgeworth:
 If I recall correctly...

Edgeworth:
 ...there are a few milk crates
 in the defendant's lobby for
 witnesses with bad backs.

Judge:
 Bailiff!
 Fetch a crate for this
 poor lady, please!

--------------------------------------------

von Karma:
 ...Once again. Your name
 and occupation, please.

Bikini:
 Little old me? Well, I'm the
 head nun of Hazakura Temple
 on Eagle Mountain.

Bikini:
 My name is Bikini.
 You got it? Bikini.
 Nice to meet everyone.

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 But you don't appear to be
 wearing a bikini right now...

Judge:
 Uwah!

von Karma:
 ...The courtroom is the garden
 of holy judgment.

von Karma:
 Those with lechery in their
 hearts should leave this
 sanctuary at once!

Judge:
 Y-You want me to leave!?

Bikini:
 No need to get your bikinis in
 a twist! Let me tell you, I'm
 a sight to behold in summer!

Bikini:
 Wha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha ha!

Edgeworth:
 In any case...

Edgeworth:
 Witness. I hear that you
 saw the crime take place on
 the night in question.

Bikini:
 That's right!

Bikini:
 I can still hardly believe it
 myself, to be honest.

Bikini:
 There's no way dear little
 Iris could do anything like
 that...

Judge:
 Let us hear what you have
 to say then.

Judge:
 First, tell us aboot your own
 movements that night, eh!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Night of the Murder --

(1)
Bikini:
 That night I was helping an
 acolyte with her training in
 the Inner Temple. But...

(2)
Bikini:
 Well, as you can see, my
 back likes to act up.
 Violently.

(3)
Bikini:
 So, I left Iris to help the
 acolyte, and returned to
 Hazakura Temple.

(4)
Bikini:
 There's no bath at the Inner
 Temple, you see, and I needed
 a long, hot soak.

(5)
Bikini:
 It was after I had finished,
 just as I was heading back...
 that's when I saw it!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 So it was simply coincidence
 that you found yourself
 returning to Hazakura Temple?

Bikini:
 ...Yes, you could say that.

Bikini:
 If my back hadn't been in so
 much pain, I would have stayed
 at the Inner Temple.

Edgeworth:
 (That sounds like a pretty
 important statement she
 just made...)

von Karma:
 There is only one problem
 with this testimony that I
 can see...

von Karma:
 And you're not about to fall
 at the first hurdle, now are
 you, Miles Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth.
 ...Please begin your cross-
 examination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Night of the Murder --

(1)
Bikini:
 That night I was helping an
 acolyte with her training in
 the Inner Temple. But...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      What is this Inner Temple...?

    Bikini:
      Well, see, conversing with the
      spirits is what we train
      people to do, right?

    Judge:
      We'll be the ones asking you
      the questions, madam.

    Bikini:
      ...In order to do that, a
      place strong in spiritual
      power is required.

    Bikini:
      There's a small temple across
      Dusky Bridge, called the
      Inner Temple.

    Bikini:
      Acolytes must spend an entire
      night there to undergo intense
      training.

    Edgeworth:
      And how exactly do you help
      with this process...?

    Bikini:
      It is all quite exacting.
      It can't be performed without
      a nun supervising.

    von Karma:
      Like a tutor, watching to make
      sure a spoiled child studies.

    Edgeworth:
      (A tutor with a whip, in your
      case.)

    Edgeworth:
      If that is the case...

    Edgeworth:
      ...then why did you return to
      Hazakura Temple, where the
      murder took place?

(2)
Bikini:
 Well, as you can see, my
 back likes to act up.
 Violently.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Violently...?

    Bikini:
      That's right. It's no laughing
      matter, especially in winter!

    Bikini:
      I can't hold anything heavier
      than a knife and fork during
      the cold months!

    Bikini:
      Just being alive is like
      strict training!

    Bikini:
      Wah ha ha! Wha ha! Wah ha ha!

    Edgeworth:
      On the night of the murder,
      was this fabulous back of
      yours hurting again...?

    Bikini:
      That's right. Raging like a
      bull in a pigpen. I almost
      fainted once or twice!

    Bikini:
      I just knew that unless I
      warmed it up, it was going
      to finally finish me off!

(3)
Bikini:
 So, I left Iris to help the
 acolyte, and returned to
 Hazakura Temple.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You "left Iris to help"...
      With what?

    Bikini:
      What do you think? The
      acolyte's training, of course.

    Bikini:
      It was just past 10 PM, so
      we were starting to enter into
      the training exercises proper.

    Judge:
      Wasn't it your place to
      remain with the disciple?

    Bikini:
      Well, the job is simply to
      watch over the acolyte so
      that they don't pass away.

    Edgeworth:
      Just to confirm this point
      again, that night...

    Edgeworth:
      ...you met Iris in the Inner
      Temple, correct?

    Bikini:
      Yes, yes. She's a gentle,
      honest girl.

    Bikini:
      She's never once failed to
      follow my directions.

(3b)
Bikini:
 Iris came to the Inner Temple.
 She was dressed exactly as
 she had been at dinner.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Are you sure that you're
      not making a mistake...?

    Bikini:
      ...You, young man, need to
      get your estimation of me
      up from the floor!

    Edgeworth:
      Nngh...!

    Bikini:
      Iris always wears the same
      clothes.

    Bikini:
      The smallest thing out of
      place would have stood out
      like a sore thumb to me!

    Bikini:
      You're making a mistake,
      thinking I made a mistake!

    Judge:
      ...An excellent finish there,
      witness.

    Edgeworth:
      (Still, I have to wonder...)

(4)
Bikini:
 There's no bath at the Inner
 Temple, you see, and I needed
 a long, hot soak.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...So you returned to the
      Hazakura Temple in order to
      take a bath?

    Bikini:
      My back is to blame for
      everything.

    Bikini:
      It's a "do or be done in"
      kind of world, after all.

    Edgeworth:
      How long were you in the
      bath for, if you don't
      mind me asking?

    Bikini:
      ...

    Bikini:
      My my my, what a filthy little
      rogue you are! I know what's
      on your mind!

    Edgeworth:
      ...?

    Bikini:
      I bet your next question is
      going to be, "Where exactly
      did you wash?"

    Bikini:
      Ah, THIS is why you have to
      watch the young ones...

    Edgeworth:
      W-What are you going on
      about!? I was...

    Edgeworth:
      Gwah!

    von Karma:
      ...Pathetic, Miles Edgeworth.

    Judge:
      The lowest of the low.

    Edgeworth:
      (Is there some sort of
      "Kick Me" sign stuck to the
      defense's bench!?)

    Bikini:
      Anyway, I couldn't afford to
      be away from my post for too
      long, you understand, so...

(5)
Bikini:
 It was after I had finished,
 just as I was heading back...
 that's when I saw it!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      The crime took place in
      the courtyard, correct...?

    Bikini:
      When you go from my room to
      the Main Hall...

    Bikini:
      ...you have to take a winding
      hallway from which you can see
      the courtyard.

    von Karma:
      That's right.
      In other words...

    von Karma:
      ...it was pure coincidence
      that the witness saw the crime
      taking place before her eyes.

    von Karma:
      There was no complicated
      set-up in this case!

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      That certainly seems to be
      true.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (There is indeed only one
 problem with this testimony.)

Edgeworth:
 (If I can clearly point out
 what it is, then I can begin
 to quantify...)

Edgeworth:
 (...just how good this
 witness's memory and
 observation skills are.)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Iris's Testimony* at (3)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Witnesses have to undergo
 their own trials, I'm afraid.

Edgeworth:
 The defendant's fate rests on
 their powers of observation
 and memory, after all.

Bikini:
 Well, well, well. Don't worry!
 I'm more than up to the task!

Bikini:
 I'm a woman of faith, after
 all. The head honcho of
 Hazakura Temple.

Edgeworth:
 In that case, Ms. Honcho...
 I'd like you to explain
 something for me.

Edgeworth:
 The discrepancy between your
 testimony and that of the
 defendant, Iris.

Edgeworth:
 She claims that after ringing
 the lights out bell, she went
 back and stayed in her room.

Edgeworth:
 ...Which means! She did not go
 to the Inner Temple at all!

Bikini:
 N... No...!
 She said that...?

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 A defendant or a witness...

von Karma:
 Who is more likely to lie,
 do you suppose?

von Karma:
 The defendant is simply lying
 to cover her back!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 But that is completely
 illogical.

Edgeworth:
 The murder was committed in
 the courtyard of Hazakura
 Temple.

Edgeworth:
 Claiming that she "went to the
 Inner Temple" would make for
 a much better alibi.

von Karma:
 ...!

Bikini:
 But that is odd...

Bikini:
 Whatever the reason...
 I can't believe that she would
 lie...!

Judge:
 Hmm... she does indeed have
 honest eyes!

Judge:
 Uwaaaah!

von Karma:
 ...All people lie.
 That is my belief.

Judge:
 Why am I the only one being
 whipped in here...!?

Judge:
 Anyway! Neither the witness
 nor the defendant have any
 reason to lie!

Judge:
 Which means...

Judge:
 We must call your memory into
 question...

Bikini:
 Dear, dear, dear. You're older
 than me and yet you want to
 play that game, do you?

Judge:
 A-Ah, well, that isn't
 exactly what I...

Bikini:
 My memory is perfect! Crystal
 clear! Especially in winter!

Judge:
 Then... I suppose it's too
 early to end this cross-
 examination, eh.

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth. If you are
 going to question the memory
 of this witness...

Judge:
 ...you will need to show
 me a more decisive piece
 of evidence.

Edgeworth:
 ...Understood, Your Honor.
 (I was naïve to think that
 alone would do the trick.)

Judge:
 Then please add your comments
 aboot Iris to the testimony...

Judge:
 And let us return to the
 cross-examination.

*Present Iris's Hood* at (3b)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Witness. Let's get one
 thing straight.

Edgeworth:
 The defendant whom you claim
 to have met...

Edgeworth:
 ...she was wearing this
 "Demon-Warding Hood", correct?

Bikini:
 Of course!

Bikini:
 That is a very important
 piece of clothing, I'll have
 you know!

Bikini:
 Wha ha ha! Wha ha ha! Ha ha...
 Wait a minute...

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 H-Hold it right there!
 Why do you have that...!?

Edgeworth:
 That's the question of the
 day, now isn't it...
 Ms. von Karma?

Edgeworth:
 I'll have you know that this
 hood was given to someone
 as a gift that night.

Edgeworth:
 Before the lights out bell
 was rung.

von Karma:
 W... What!?

Edgeworth:
 ...You know where I'm going
 with this, don't you?

Edgeworth:
 If the witness had seen the
 defendant as she claims...

Edgeworth:
 ...the defendant couldn't
 have been wearing this
 very hood!

Bikini:
 Well well well!

Edgeworth:
 (It's not a bad feeling at
 all, exposing contradictions
 like this...)

Edgeworth:
 (Now I understand that happy
 look on Wright's face every
 time he does it...)

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!
 Witness, your response...

Judge:
 Wuahaaa!

von Karma:
 ...Sister.

von Karma:
 This hood... You have spare
 ones around the temple, don't
 you?

Bikini:
 Spares... Well...

Bikini:
 I do tend to make too many of
 them.

Judge:
 I see...
 A stockpile. A surplus of
 hoods, eh?

Bikini:
 Each nun is only given
 one hood.

Bikini:
 This should be the only hood
 that Iris owned...

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Then this is quite strange!

Judge:
 Waaaah!

von Karma:
 If there was a surplus of
 hoods, then she could have
 worn one of those!

von Karma:
 ...There is no contradiction
 here!

Judge:
 Hmm...

Edgeworth:
 (I'm sorry to break this to
 you, Ms. von Karma... but you
 won't get away that easily.)

Edgeworth:
 (Discrepancies such as this
 will sow seeds in any human
 heart.)

Edgeworth:
 (The seeds of doubt.)

Judge:
 ...Witness.

Judge:
 While I don't wish to call
 your testimony into doubt...

Judge:
 ...you must give every detail
 with precision.

Bikini:
 I-I'm not sure I'm comfortable
 going along with this...

von Karma:
 Sister. You shall continue
 with your testimony.

von Karma:
 Tell us what you saw after
 finishing your bath, on your
 way back to the Inner Temple!

Edgeworth:
 (Those seeds of doubt are
 sprouting in the Judge's
 heart.)

Edgeworth:
 (They just need a little more
 stimulation to bear fruit...)

Edgeworth:
 (Contradictory
 stimulation.)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- After My Bath --

(1)
Bikini:
 I finished my bath around 11,
 and I thought I should return
 to the Inner Temple.

(2)
Bikini:
 And as I was walking back... I
 heard a noise from the court-
 yard. I took a look and...

(3)
Bikini:
 Iris was...! Oh, Mystic Elise!
 And with that sword, of all
 things!

(4)
Bikini:
 Mystic Elise was staying in
 the corner room, which faces
 out onto the courtyard.

(5)
Bikini:
 The stabbing I saw must have
 occurred after she was
 pushed out of her window.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 You saw a truly terrible
 sight, didn't you...?

Judge:
 If I was in your place...

Judge:
 ...then it would be much like
 Ms. von Karma whipping
 Mr. Edgeworth in two in court!

Judge:
 And me, seeing it all from
 this very chair!

Judge:
 ...Er, well, something like
 that.

Edgeworth:
 (This judge...)

Edgeworth:
 (His imagination is about as
 vivid and creative as
 Detective Gumshoe...)

von Karma:
 I would look the fool if I
 commented on such foolishness.

von Karma:
 Anyway, this case is mine...
 Miles Edgeworth!

Edgeworth:
 Calling everyone by their full
 name... Can't you do something
 about that habit of yours?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- After My Bath --

(1)
Bikini:
 I finished my bath around 11,
 and I thought I should return
 to the Inner Temple.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...How far is it from your
      room to the Inner Temple?

    Bikini:
      Let me think a moment...

    Bikini:
      About twenty minutes, on these
      stumps of mine.

    Bikini:
      It's about 15 minutes to
      Dusky Bridge from Hazakura
      Temple.

    Bikini:
      The Inner Temple is just
      beyond the bridge.

    von Karma:
      Still, you never made it
      back there that night, did
      you?

    Bikini:
       T-That's right...

    Bikini:
      I was heading along the
      walkway toward the Main
      Hall...

(2)
Bikini:
 And as I was walking back... I
 heard a noise from the court-
 yard. I took a look and...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You say you heard a noise...?

    Bikini:
      "Thump"... Just like that.

    von Karma:
      ...That could only be the
      sound of the victim falling.

    Bikini:
      It's very quiet in the temple,
      you know.

    Bikini:
      You can even hear the snow
      falling from the branches.

    Bikini:
      "Thump"... Just like that.

    Judge:
      But then, couldn't this noise
      you heard have been snow
      falling to the ground?

    Bikini:
      ...

    Bikini:
      I never thought of that.

    Bikini:
      Wah ha ha. Wha ha ha. Ha ha...

    Judge:
      Hoh hoh. Hoh hoh. Hoh hoh...

    Judge:
      Uaaaaaah!

    von Karma:
      The next one to laugh gets
      a whipping!

    Bikini:
      Well. Whatever the source of
      the sound, I looked over at
      the courtyard and...

(3)
Bikini:
 Iris was...! Oh, Mystic Elise!
 And with that sword, of all
 things!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...This is the second time
      that the witness has testified
      to seeing the defendant.

    Edgeworth:
      But... some doubt remains in
      these claims.

    Bikini:
      Hey, just what does that
      mean!?

    Bikini:
      Just because you're a good-
      looking young man doesn't
      give you the right to...

    Edgeworth:
      The murderer who stabbed
      the victim with the sword...

    Edgeworth:
      Sister Bikini, try to recall
      exactly who it was you saw!
      As clearly as you can!

    Bikini:
      Hmm... Well. You're a
      handsome young man,
      so I'll forgive you.

    Bikini:
      ...
      Oh! Now that you mention it...

    Bikini:
      There was something awfully
      strange about her...

    Bikini:
      Something that has been
      bugging me all this time!

    Edgeworth:
      ...Please, don't keep us in
      suspense.

    Bikini:
      Her hood!

    von Karma:
      Her hood...?

    Bikini:
      That's right!
      ...It's coming back to me...

    Bikini:
      Iris... She wasn't wearing her
      hood!

    Bikini:
      I thought something was
      out of place, but...

    Bikini:
      It all makes sense now,
      doesn't it?

    Bikini:
      After all, she'd given that
      hood away to someone, right?

    Edgeworth:
      ...Urk!

    von Karma:
      Hah...

    von Karma:
      You've dug your own grave,
      Miles Edgeworth!

    Judge:
      What do you say,
      Mr. Edgeworth? Is this
      testimony important?

    *** It's not important *********************

(3b)
Bikini:
 Now that you mention it...
 Iris didn't have her hood on.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
       You are sure about that...?

    Bikini:
      Yes. After all, we always
      wear the same clothes.

    Bikini:
      Ah! I don't mean because we're
      poor, you understand? It's
      our style. Yes, that's it!

    Edgeworth:
      ...There's absolutely no need
      to explain yourself.

    Bikini:
      Anyway! She looked different
      from normal, so that really
      stuck out.

    von Karma:
      Like me holding a whippet
      puppy instead of my whip.

    Edgeworth:
      (At least then it might bite
      you and not someone else...)

    Bikini:
      Iris didn't have her hood on.
      I'm sure of it!

    Judge:
      ...Very well.

    Judge:
      Now, please tell us aboot
      the victim, eh.

(4)
Bikini:
 Mystic Elise was staying in
 the corner room, which faces
 out onto the courtyard.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      The room the victim was
      staying in overlooked the
      courtyard, correct?

    Judge:
      Which means... the victim's
      room was on the second floor?

    Bikini:
      No, no. Hazakura Temple is
      a single story building.

    Bikini:
      But the mountain itself
      slopes downward...

    Bikini:
      ...which elevates the Main
      Gate side of the temple and
      the guest rooms in the back...

    Bikini:
      ...to about the height of a
      two story building.

    Judge:
      I see... And the victim was
      staying in one of these
      elevated rooms, correct?

    Bikini:
      Yes... I should know. I'm the
      one who carried her things to
      her room, after all...

(5)
Bikini:
 The stabbing I saw must have
 occurred after she was
 pushed out of her window.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      What makes you so sure of all
      this...?

    Bikini:
      It's just like I told
      you earlier...

    Bikini:
      "I heard a noise from the
      courtyard."
      OK?

    Bikini:
      "Thump"... Just like that.

    von Karma:
      You're one smart sister,
      I'll give you that.

    von Karma:
      The autopsy report states
      that...

    von Karma:
      ...the victim's body was
      covered in bruises...

    von Karma:
      ...indicating a fall from
      around 10 feet in height.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      It appears that the witness
      was not mistaken then.

    Bikini:
      Yep. Yep. I'm more than just
      a pretty face. Especially in
      winter!

    Bikini:
      I'm a woman of faith, after
      all. The head honcho of
      Hazakura Temple.

    Edgeworth:
      (There's only two of them
      working there...!)

    von Karma:
      What's wrong, Miles Edgeworth?
      No snappy comeback remark?

    Edgeworth:
      ...

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (...It doesn't feel like she
 is lying.)

Edgeworth:
 (This is very powerful
 testimony, too.)

Edgeworth:
 (She claims to have seen the
 instant in which the defendant
 stabbed the victim...)

Edgeworth:
 (There are only two things
 I can believe in right now...)

Edgeworth:
 (My client, Iris, and my
 own abilities as a defense
 attorney.)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Elise's Autopsy Report* at (5)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Impressive logic. That's
 what I'd like to say, anyway.

Bikini:
 Oh please do! My brain is
 something else... especially
 in winter!

Edgeworth:
 However... I think you are
 overlooking one thing.

Edgeworth:
 ...Ms. von Karma. Would you
 be so kind as to take another
 look at the autopsy report?

von Karma:
 T-The autopsy report...?

Edgeworth:
 The victim did fall from a
 height of 10 feet.

Edgeworth:
 ...However.

Edgeworth:
 This fall...
 was after she was killed.

von Karma:
 Ah...!

Judge:
 T-That's right! It says
 "after death" right here!

Edgeworth:
 The scene the witness claims
 to have seen is contradictory!

Edgeworth:
 If the defendant stabbed and
 killed the victim there in
 the courtyard...

Edgeworth:
 ...how did the victim then go
 on to take a ten foot fall!?

von Karma:
 Aaah!

Judge:
 O-Order! Order!

Judge:
 The victim was killed and
 then fell!

Judge:
 If that is the case...

Judge:
 ...then the victim must have
 been killed in her room...
 Don't you agree?

von Karma:
 Th-That is the logical
 conclusion...

von Karma:
 Yes, that's right! The victim
 must have been stabbed by the
 defendant in her own room!

von Karma:
 And she was then thrown out
 of her window down into the
 courtyard below!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Were there any signs of a
 struggle in Ms. Deauxnim's
 room...?

von Karma:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 She was stabbed with a sword!
 That would leave a blood
 stain, wouldn't you agree?

Judge:
 W-Well, Ms. von Karma?
 Was there any blood...?

Judge:
 Waaaaaah!

von Karma:
 ...No traces of blood were
 found in the victim's room.

Judge:
 ...Your whip has just caused
 traces of blood to be found
 on my glorious playoff beard.

Judge:
 However! If there was no
 blood in the room, then your
 claim that...

Judge:
 Waaaaah!

von Karma:
 I'm sure there's no need for
 me to go over this...

von Karma:
 ...as I'm sure Your Honor is
 well aware...

von Karma:
 ...of when a stab wound
 produces the most blood.

Judge:
 When it produces the most
 blood...?

von Karma:
 Very little blood is actually
 lost at the moment of a
 blade's insertion.

von Karma:
 If you want to talk about
 when the most blood would
 be lost from a body...

von Karma:
 ...that would be when the
 blade is removed.

Edgeworth:
 Indeed.
 With the weapon still in
 place...

Edgeworth:
 ...it acts like a lid on the
 wound.

Judge:
 That's true... With the weapon
 still in the body, there
 wouldn't be much bleeding...

Judge:
 A perfectly reasonable
 line of thinking!

von Karma:
 We have come to a
 conclusion then!

von Karma:
 The victim was thrown out of
 the window with the sword
 still in place...

von Karma:
 This removes all of the
 contradictions!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 I must admit that this is a
 probable version of events!

Edgeworth:
 (I'd expect no less from
 Franziska von Karma...)

Edgeworth:
 (She locates and takes control
 of every vital point!)

von Karma:
 ...Hmph...

Judge:
 It seems...

Judge:
 ...that we need a clearer
 testimony from the witness.

Judge:
 Remove all supposition on your
 part and tell us only the
 truth, please!

Judge:
 Witness! Please!
 Remain standing on the crate!

Bikini:
 Don't go selling me short
 now!

Bikini:
 The weight of winter snow
 has bent me out of shape!

Bikini:
 ...Especially my back and
 my mood!

von Karma:
 Sister.
 Please give us your
 testimony.

von Karma:
 I will give you a vigorous
 massage once we are finished
 here.

Edgeworth:
 (...With the whip?)

Bikini:
 ...Oh, boy.
 Alright, alright...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Further Details --

(1)
Bikini:
 When I looked across at the
 scene, the sword was already
 in place.

(2)
Bikini:
 Thinking about it now, I
 didn't actually see her stab
 Mystic Elise.

(3)
Bikini:
 I've never seen so much blood
 before...

(4)
Bikini:
 That's when I fainted. You
 can't blame me, can you?

(5)
Bikini:
 And when I awoke... Mystic Ami
 was... stabbing Mystic Elise
 through the back!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 This all confirms
 Ms. von Karma's theory...

von Karma:
 Von Karmas strive for
 nothing but perfection.

von Karma:
 Putting together such facts
 is nothing for me! You should
 know that, Miles Edgeworth!

Edgeworth:
  ("Perfection" is an
 impossibility,
 Franziska von Karma...)

Edgeworth:
 (And I'm here to teach you
 just that...)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Further Details --

(1)
Bikini:
 When I looked across at the
 scene, the sword was already
 in place.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      At that time... was the
      victim bleeding?

    Bikini:
      Well... I was very shocked
      to be seeing all this, of
      course...

    Bikini:
      So I'm not entirely sure...

    Bikini:
      But I don't think I saw any
      blood. Not then.

    von Karma:
      ...I'm sure that you didn't.

    von Karma:
      The weapon was acting as a
      plug in the wound.

    Edgeworth:
      In any case... Let's be clear
      on one very important point.

    Edgeworth:
      Did you actually see the
      instant in which the victim
      was stabbed!?

(2)
Bikini:
 Thinking about it now, I
 didn't actually see her stab
 Mystic Elise.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...Think carefully. This is
      very important.

    Bikini:
      It's Iris we are talking
      about here! I'm thinking for
      all I'm worth!

    Bikini:
      ...

    Bikini:
      No, when I looked over, the
      sword was already in
      Mystic Elise's body.

    Judge:
      Hmmmmmm...

    Edgeworth:
      (It might not be
      conclusive, but...)

    Edgeworth:
      (...this testimony supports
      her theory.)

    von Karma:
      The victim was stabbed in
      her room and then dropped into
      the courtyard...

    von Karma:
      ...I think this proves it
      rather well, Miles Edgeworth.


(2b)
Bikini:
 I saw the instant in which
 the blade, plunged in to the
 hilt, was smoothly drawn out.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      "Smoothly", you say...
      You're saying you saw the
      sword smoothly slide out?

    Bikini:
      That's right...

    Bikini:
      The whole thing happened right
      next to the gold statue of
      Mystic Ami.

    Bikini:
      Mystic Elise was on the
      ground, and Iris was
      stooped over her.

    Bikini:
      The sword was buried up to
      the hilt.

    Bikini:
      When Iris stood up, the sword
      in her hand just slid out of
      Mystic Elise's body.

    Bikini:
      It slid out from that gaping
      wound...!
      Aaaah...

    Judge:
      It goes without saying...
      that if the sword was removed
      there would be bleeding.

    von Karma:
      ...Nothing out of place here.

    Edgeworth:
      (Is that really the case...?)

    Edgeworth:
      (I can't help but feel that
      something about this testimony
      is very out of place...)

    Edgeworth:
      (That something which couldn't
      possibly have happened...
      appears to have happened.)

(3)
Bikini:
 I've never seen so much blood
 before...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...So you're saying that
      you saw the victim's blood?

    Bikini:
      T-That's right! Some of
      it had splattered onto
      Iris, too...

    von Karma:
      When the defendant was
      arrested, she was meditating
      in her room.

    von Karma:
      And her blood-flecked clothing
      was neatly folded in the
      corner.

    Edgeworth:
      Wh-What!?
      (Her clothes were blood-
      flecked as well...?)

    Judge:
      Hmmm...
      That seems quite conclusive
      to me...

    Edgeworth:
      (What should I do...?
      Press this point further?)

(3b)
Bikini:
 I've never seen so much blood
 before...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Was the bleeding caused by
      the killer removing the
      sword...?

    Bikini:
      No mistaking it! I remember it
      all, clear as day!

    Edgeworth:
      ...Don't you think that's a
      bit odd?

    von Karma:
      What do you mean,
      Miles Edgeworth?

    Edgeworth:
      Why would the killer pull
      out the sword?

    von Karma:
      What...?

    Edgeworth:
      If all she wanted to do was
      place the weapon in the hand
      of the gold statue...

    Edgeworth:
      ...then there was no reason to
      remove it from the body.

    Edgeworth:
      All that would've accomplished
      is causing the victim to bleed
      unnecessarily.

    Edgeworth:
      ...Your thoughts,
      Ms. von Karma?

    von Karma:
      T-That's...

    Judge:
      Indeed...
      It is strange, now that you
      mention it.

    Edgeworth:
      (I'm going to need to
      find an answer to this
      mystery, too...)

    von Karma:
      A-Anyway! The witness saw
      something terrible!

    von Karma:
      ...So what did you do after
      that, witness?

(4)
Bikini:
 That's when I fainted. You
 can't blame me, can you?

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Now, on to what the
      killer did next...

    Edgeworth:
      You saw none of it? Correct?

    Bikini:
      Well...
      I was unconscious...

    von Karma:
      How long were you out for?

    Bikini:
      I don't know... 10, maybe
      20 minutes...?

    Bikini:
      A young man with a very
      prickly looking head woke
      me up.

    Bikini:
      ...By stepping on me,
      actually.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      I'm not sure I like that
      method of resuscitation!

    Bikini:
      Well, I wasn't asking for
      mouth-to-mouth, or anything
      of the sort...

    Bikini:
      ...but I would've welcomed a
      more gentle awakening right
      about then, let me tell you.

    Edgeworth:
      ...I shall have words with the
      offender personally.

    Edgeworth:
      What did you see upon
      awakening...?

(5)
Bikini:
 And when I awoke... Mystic Ami
 was... stabbing Mystic Elise
 through the back!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      By "Mystic Ami", you are
      referring to the golden
      statue, correct?

    Bikini:
      Just stabbing someone with
      the Shichishito, a sacred
      treasure, is terrible enough.

    Bikini:
      But to then make Mystic Ami
      hold the blade...!

    von Karma:
      Truly, a heinous, despicable
      crime.

    Edgeworth:
      It is easy to despise
      something. Anyone can do it.

    Edgeworth:
      However, there is something
      that cannot be done so
      easily...

    von Karma:
      Whatever it is, I'm sure
      it's doubly hard for you.
      Anyway, what is the problem?

    Edgeworth:
      Exactly why would the killer
      set up this gruesome scene?

    Edgeworth:
      Can anyone explain the
      reasoning behind that?

    von Karma:
      ...!

    Judge:
      Hmmmmm...
      No, I don't think I can.

    von Karma:
      ...

    von Karma:
      There isn't always a logical
      reason behind why someone
      acts!

    Bikini:
      That's true, so true.
      In early spring, for example,
      I often find myself...

    Edgeworth:
      ("There isn't always"...
      That phrase might come
      in handy someday.)

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (There are too many
 unnatural elements in this
 case...)

Edgeworth:
 (Why was it necessary to use
 the Shichishito from the Ami
 statue as a weapon?)

Edgeworth:
 (Why was the weapon finally
 placed back in the hand of
 the statue?)

Edgeworth:
 (If I can expose the flaws in
 this testimony, perhaps then I
 will begin to find the truth.)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Shichishito* at (2b)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Sister Bikini.
 You are a reliable witness...

Edgeworth:
 At least, I'd like to think
 so. But there are too many
 contradictions here.

Bikini:
 W-What do you mean?
 You make it sound as though
 I'm a liar!

Bikini:
 But... You're a handsome
 young man, so I'll forgive
 you.

von Karma:
 What contradictions are
 you talking about?

Edgeworth:
 In the scene that the
 witness claims to have seen...

Edgeworth:
 ...the weapon was thrust up to
 its hilt into the victim.

Edgeworth:
 Furthermore... the killer
 withdrew the weapon smoothly
 from the body.

Edgeworth:
 ...However!
 Both of these are complete
 impossibilities!

Judge:
 What do you mean...?
 Please, explain you...

Judge:
 Uwaaaaah!

von Karma:
 Explain yourself!

Edgeworth:
 To start with... Do you think
 it would be possible to stab
 someone to the hilt with this?

Edgeworth:
 No matter how I look at the</pre><pre id="faqspan-13">
 defendant, she doesn't appear
 strong enough for that.

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 "Doesn't appear"...?
 What meaningless dribble!

von Karma:
 I, too, may appear to be
 weak and frail...

von Karma:
 But I can crush men under my
 heel and make them weep,
 should I so choose!

Judge:
 The objection stands!

Judge:
 I wept a little back there,
 I must admit.

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...That isn't the only issue
 here.

Edgeworth:
 If this sword was truly
 stabbed into the body up to
 the hilt...

Edgeworth:
 Well, just look at all the
 branches on it. It certainly
 wouldn't come out smoothly.

von Karma:
 T-That's...

Edgeworth:
 We also have the problem of
 the amount of bleeding.

Edgeworth:
 It's true that when a blade is
 left in a body, it acts as a
 "plug" of sorts.

Edgeworth:
 However! When the weapon
 is shaped like this, it's an
 entirely different story.

Edgeworth:
 The wound would be too large
 for the blade to completely
 stop from bleeding!

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 T-That's nothing more than
 conjecture!

von Karma:
 In reality, the victim was
 stabbed with the Shichishito.

von Karma:
 Even a weapon of this
 nature...

von Karma:
 ...may still sometimes slide
 out smoothly, and may still
 sometimes stop the blood loss!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 I'm not finished.

Edgeworth:
 There is still one more...
 conclusive contradiction.

Judge:
 Y-You've still got more!?

Edgeworth:
 ...This one is simple.

Edgeworth:
 If this sword really was
 thrust in all the way to
 the hilt...

Edgeworth:
 ...why is there only blood
 on the tip of it?

von Karma:
 Ah...!

Edgeworth:
 If this witness is
 telling the truth...

Edgeworth:
 Then there should be blood
 along the entire length of
 the sword!

von Karma:
 Noooooo!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Ord--

Judge:
 Whaaaaaaaa!

von Karma:
 Bravo... Miles Edgeworth.

von Karma:
 Raising this many
 contradictions from a single
 piece of evidence!

von Karma:
 All the other attorneys I know
 could maybe manage one, if
 that!

Judge:
 But what does this all mean!?

Judge:
 You have proven contradictions
 regarding the murder weapon,
 but...

Edgeworth:
 ...Having come this far,
 there can only be one answer.

von Karma:
 And that is...?

Edgeworth:
 The weapon used to kill the
 victim...

Edgeworth:
 ...was not the Shichishito!

Judge:
 W-Whaaaaaaaaat!?

von Karma:
 A foolishly foolish idea born
 from the foolish mind of a
 foolhardy foolish fool.

Edgeworth:
 Let's examine this again. What
 was it that made us think this
 sword was the murder weapon?

Bikini:
 W-Well...

Bikini:
 It's because Mystic Ami
 was holding it...

Edgeworth:
 ...Exactly.
 However!

Edgeworth:
 If you reflect on this, that
 is the only basis we have
 to assume such a thing.

Edgeworth:
 The impression left by the
 scene was just too strong.
 That is what influenced us.

Edgeworth:
 It influenced us to believe
 that the Shichishito was the
 murder weapon!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 Waaaaaaaaah!

von Karma:
 So maybe the Shichishito was
 not the murder weapon.

von Karma:
 Even if that is the case...
 it changes nothing,
 Miles Edgeworth!

von Karma:
 The Sister here saw
 everything!

von Karma:
 She saw the defendant stab
 the victim with a sword-like
 object.

Judge:
 Hmmmmmm...
 That's true!

Judge:
 Your response, Mr. Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 If that is so... I would like
 the prosecution to answer the
 obvious question it raises.

Judge:
 The obvious... question?

Edgeworth:
 ...Yes. Namely...

Edgeworth:
 Where did the real murder
 weapon disappear to?

von Karma:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 It goes without saying that
 the police searched the Main
 Hall and the surrounding area.

Edgeworth:
 ...Perhaps the prosecution
 can enlighten us as to if a
 "sword-like object" was found.

von Karma:
 T-That's...

Judge:
 Answer the question,
 Ms. von Karma!

von Karma:
 ...

von Karma:
 No evidence of that kind was
 found.

Judge:
 Hmmmmm...
 Another mystery to throw
 onto the pile!

Judge:
 A trial without a murder
 weapon is a tricky beast!

Bikini:
 Excuse me...
 Could I say something...?

Bikini:
 I just remembered
 something, actually...

von Karma:
 ...What is it, Sister?

Bikini:
 I was just thinking...
 It's possible...

Bikini:
 ...that just maybe...
 what actually happened was...
 it was just over there...

Judge:
 ...
 What exactly are you going
 on aboot here?

Bikini:
 The murder weapon, I mean!
 Maybe...

Bikini:
 I think I might know where
 the sword was disposed of!

Edgeworth:
 You what!?

von Karma:
 Well then...

von Karma:
 I think we need to hear
 testimony from you one more
 time, Sister.

Edgeworth:
 (Impossible...!)

Edgeworth:
 (What else... What else could
 this old woman have seen!?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Location of the Weapon --

(1)
Bikini:
 I saw the murder at around
 11 PM...

(2)
Bikini:
 And after asking that it be
 reported, I went out to the
 Main Gate.

(3)
Bikini:
 And there... I saw tracks!
 Tracks that indicated the
 snowmobile had been used!

(4)
Bikini:
 It takes 15 minutes to walk
 to Dusky Bridge, but less
 than 5 using one of those!

(5)
Bikini:
 Maybe they threw the weapon
 into Eagle River and came
 back while I was knocked out?

(6)
Bikini:
 ...Iris could have done that.
 She can drive a snowmobile
 after all...

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmmmmmm...

Judge:
 Witness. Please, tell us
 everything you know right
 away next time.

Bikini:
 Well. I'm not in the best
 of shape. What with my back
 and my age, you know.

von Karma:
 Quite...

von Karma:
 There were indeed snowmobile
 tracks in front of the Main
 Gate.

von Karma:
 Here is a photograph.

Judge:
 A snowmobile, eh... I see.
 Well, it certainly is an
 interesting theory...

von Karma:
 The tracks begin in
 front of Hazakura Temple...

von Karma:
 ...and run all the way to
 Dusky Bridge!

*Tracks Photo added to the
Court Record.*

von Karma:
 ...That solves your pesky
 little problem, yes?

von Karma:
 The Eagle River's current is
 quite swift, meaning that it
 doesn't freeze over in winter.

von Karma:
 Making it the perfect place to
 dispose of the murder weapon!

Edgeworth:
 (Did she really go to the
 river to dispose of the
 murder weapon...?)

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth!
 ...Your cross-examination,
 please.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Location of the weapon --

(1)
Bikini:
 I saw the murder at around
 11 PM...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...You are sure about the
      time?

    Bikini:
      Yes... I was worried about
      it, after all.

    Judge:
      Why was that?

    Bikini:
      Because I have a strong sense
      of responsibility. Especially
      at this time of year.

    Bikini:
      The acolyte was being
      doused in freezing
      water at the time...

    Bikini:
      I couldn't very well take
      it easy in the bath all night
      now, could I?

    Bikini:
      So at 11, I decided to leave
      Hazakura Temple.

    Edgeworth:
      (Her estimation of the time
      seems reliable, at least.)

    von Karma:
      Please continue, Sister.

(2)
Bikini:
 And after asking that it be
 reported, I went out to the
 Main Gate.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You asked Phoenix Wright to
      report the crime, correct?

    Bikini:
      Right, right, the one who
      trampled me.

    Edgeworth:
      (It seems she is the type to
      hold a grudge...)

    Bikini:
      There isn't a phone in the
      Main Hall, so I sent him
      to the bridge.

    von Karma:
      Phoenix Wright...
      He didn't even have his
      cell phone on him?

    Edgeworth:
      He had forgotten it at home,
      apparently.

    von Karma:
      What a naïve boy, as always!

    von Karma:
      Not only do I always carry my
      phone, but I always have my
      whip in hand, too!

    Bikini:
      Anyway, I was really scared...
      And it was taking him a while
      to get back...

    Bikini:
      So I thought I'd go out by the
      Main Gate for a spell.

(3)
Bikini:
 And there... I saw tracks!
 Tracks that indicated the
 snowmobile had been used!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      As I recall, there was a
      snowmobile outside the
      Main Gate when I visited.

    Bikini:
      That's it. That's the only
      one we have.

    Bikini:
      It'll run no matter how much
      snow falls!

    Edgeworth:
      Now, you're certain the
      snowmobile was there at the
      Main Gate when you arrived?

    Bikini:
      Yes, of course. It was parked
      in front of the gate.

    von Karma:
      So... she had already gone,
      discarded the murder weapon,
      and returned by that time.

    Edgeworth:
      (...I'm not sure if this is
      really relevant...
      What should I do...?)

    *** Press further **************************
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   (...I need answers to
    *   every possible doubt.)
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   The snowmobile in question...
    *   Was it still warm at that
    *   time?
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?
    *   What do you mean?
    *   What do you mean?
    *
    * Judge:

    * von Karma:
    *   What do you mean,

    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   (...I'm playing to a slow
    *   crowd here.)
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   It goes without saying that
    *   using a snowmobile will
    *   heat its engine.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   If it was still warm, then it
    *   means it was recently used.
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   Ah! I see! I never thought of
    *   that!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Hmmm, that's right!
    *   I overlooked that, too!
    *
    * von Karma:
    *   ...Of course you did.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Then answer the question
    *   please, witness.
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   ...
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   I don't often go around
    *   touching hot engines...
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   ...Hmm.
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   However... Now that you
    *   mention it...
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   There wasn't any snow on it.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Snow...?
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   Yes. For some reason, only
    *   the snowmobile wasn't covered
    *   in snow...
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   (There wasn't any snow
    *   on it!? Curses!)
    *
    * Judge:
    *   It seems highly likely that
    *   the killer did use the
    *   snowmobile then, eh!
    *
    * von Karma:
    *   How long does it take to get
    *   to Dusky Bridge by
    *   snowmobile?
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Stop here ******************************
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   (It looks very likely that
    *   the snowmobile is related to
    *   this case.)
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   (I can't help but think that
    *   Iris used it...
    *   But for what...?)
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   (I'd better hold off on
    *   this... for now.)
    *
    * Judge:
    *  ...Well then, witness.

    * Judge:

    *   snowmobile?

    ********************************************

(4)
Bikini:
 It takes 15 minutes to walk
 to Dusky Bridge, but less
 than 5 using one of those!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      In that case... why didn't you
      use it yourself? You could've
      spared yourself some walking.

    Bikini:
      Ah! There's a reason for
      that! Have we got a moment
      for me to explain?

    Judge:
      I think that's why the
      question was asked
      in the first place...

    Bikini:
      ...It was about a month ago.

    Bikini:
      I was driving my beloved
      little snowmobile, happy
      as can be.

    Bikini:
      I'd fetched some water and
      was heading back when I went
      and crashed into a tree!

    Bikini:
      The tree and my back both
      went crunch. Just like that.
      Crunch.

    Judge:
      Hmm... Crunch.

     Bikini:
      ...I haven't been able to find
      the courage to ride anything
      since then...

    Bikini:
      Anyway, the killer must have
      used it!

(5)
Bikini:
 Maybe they threw the weapon
 into Eagle River and came
 back while I was knocked out?

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Refresh our memory. How
      long were you knocked out
      for...?

    Bikini:
      Like I said, somewhere
      between 10 to 20 minutes.

    von Karma:
      It's possible to get to the
      bridge and back in 10 minutes
      using the snowmobile...

    Edgeworth:
      ...I have to concede that is
      more than enough time.

    von Karma:
      Is that all you wish to
      concede, Miles Edgeworth?

    Edgeworth:
      ...

(6)
Bikini:
 ...Iris could have done that.
 She can drive a snowmobile
 after all...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      While it would have been
      possible, time-wise...

    Edgeworth:
      ...one element remains
      out of place here.

    Judge:
      Oh? And what would this
      mystery element be?

    Edgeworth:
      The killer's reasoning, Your
      Honor. "Why did the killer do
      all of this?"

    Edgeworth:
      Why go to the Eagle River to
      dispose of the murder weapon
      when there are other methods?

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      Too many unanswered questions!

    Judge:
      Your response, Ms. von Karma?

    Judge:
      Waaaaaaaah!

    von Karma:
      Turning to me for help
      over the slightest thing!

    von Karma:
      Why don't you think for
      yourself once in a while?
      ...Your Honor.

    Judge:
      Whaaaaat!?

    Edgeworth:
      (She's as over the top
      as always...)

    von Karma:
      A-Anyway...

    von Karma:
      Whatever the reason, the fact
      remains that the defendant
      could have done this!

    von Karma:
      The murder weapon was disposed
      of in the river! Another point
      to me, Miles Edgeworth!

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (Another mystery to feed
 the fire...)

Edgeworth:
 ("Was there any reason to
 go and throw away the murder
 weapon"...?)

Edgeworth:
 (Luckily, there is surely
 a problem with this
 testimony.)

Edgeworth:
 (Now all I have to do is
 start poking holes in this
 flawed account...)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Tracks Photo* at (5)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 I admit this photograph proves
 something.

Edgeworth:
 It proves that the snowmobile
 was used on the night of
 the murder.

von Karma:
 You've finally accepted the
 inevitable, it seems...
 Miles Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 However...

Edgeworth:
 If what the witness says is
 true, why is there only
 one set of tracks?

von Karma:
 What do you mean...?

Edgeworth:
 Iris left Hazakura Temple,
 threw the weapon into the
 river, and then returned.

Edgeworth:
 If this was the case, then
 naturally there should be two
 sets of tracks in the snow!

Edgeworth:
 Those from heading out to
 the bridge, and those from
 coming back.

Bikini:
 ...

Bikini:
 Ah...!
 You're right!

von Karma:
 Hmph...

von Karma:
 You are forgetting one
 thing, Miles Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 ...?

von Karma:
 On the night of the murder,
 it was snowing.

von Karma:
 The tracks leading to the
 bridge were erased by the
 snowfall.

von Karma:
 This removes your precious
 contradiction, now doesn't
 it!

Judge:
 I see! While she was at the
 river, the snow stopped...

Judge:
 ...leaving just the return
 tracks in the snow.

von Karma:
 What do you have to say now,
 Miles Edgeworth!

Edgeworth:
 (Is there a flaw in her
 theory...?)

Edgeworth:
 (This idea that the snowfall
 covered one set of tracks...?)

xxx It's flawless. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*   *TAKE THAT!*
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Witness! Please tell us again
*   what time it was when you
*   witnessed the crime.
*
* Bikini:
*   Like I said!
*   It was around 11.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...Of course, this means that
*   the weapon was thrown away
*   after that time, correct?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   On that note... Please take a
*   look at this data.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It is the weather report for
*   Eagle Mountain on the night
*   of the murder.
*
* Judge:
*   The... weather report...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Snow started to fall at
*   7 PM... But it stopped

*
* Edgeworth:
*   Therefore! When the Sister
*   witnessed the crime at
*   11 PM...
*
* Edgeworth:

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 Ultimately, it all comes down
 to one point.

Edgeworth:
 That being...

Edgeworth:
 Whether or not it was snowing
 in that courtyard when the
 victim was stabbed...

von Karma:
 That's right.
 But proving that is...

Edgeworth:
 Incredibly easy.

von Karma:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 If we want to know whether
 it was snowing or not, this
 photo will tell us everything.

Edgeworth:
 Of course, I am referring to
 the photo of the crime scene.

Edgeworth:
 As you can see... everything
 is covered with snow.

Edgeworth:
 ...With just one exception.

von Karma:
 And that is...?

Edgeworth:
 The victim herself,
 Ms. Elise Deauxnim!

Edgeworth:
 Why is there no snow on top
 of her...?

Edgeworth:
 The answer is simple!

Edgeworth:
 It had stopped snowing when
 she was killed, that's why!

von Karma:
 Gnnngh!

Edgeworth:
 In other words!

Edgeworth:
 If the killer really did go
 to the Eagle River to dispose
 of the murder weapon...

Edgeworth:
 ...then in this photograph,
 there should be two sets of
 tracks!

von Karma:
 Aaaaah!

Judge:
 Order! Order!
 Just what are you...

Judge:
 Gyahaah!

von Karma:
 J-Just what are you
 suggesting, Miles Edgeworth!?

Edgeworth:
 (To be honest... I am not
 entirely sure myself. But...)

Edgeworth:
 This is simply what all of
 the facts point to.

Edgeworth:
 That night... someone used the
 snowmobile to leave Hazakura
 Temple.

Edgeworth:
 From the tracks left, it can
 be understood that they were
 heading for Dusky Bridge.

Edgeworth:
 At that time... it was still
 snowing.

von Karma:
 Of course it was. Because
 those tracks were gone.

Edgeworth:
 Then when this person
 returned to Hazakura Temple...

Edgeworth:
 ...the snow had stopped. Thus,
 the return tracks remained.

Judge:
 Hmmmmm...

Bikini:
 Can I say something?

Bikini:
 This all sounds a bit fishy
 to me...

von Karma:
 ...What does, Sister?

Bikini:
 There is only one key for the
 snowmobile.

Edgeworth:
 ...!

von Karma:
 Furthermore, on the night
 in question, we know that
 the defendant had it!

von Karma:
 The key was found in her
 room after the murder!

Bikini:
 ...Which can only mean,
 that night...

Bikini:
 Iris used the snowmobile to
 go to the Inner Temple...

Edgeworth:
 (But... Iris said that she
 never went there...)

Edgeworth:
 (I should probably press
 on this point some more when
 I get the chance...)

Bikini:
 The snowmobile can't cross
 the suspension bridge...

Bikini:
 So, she must have left it on
 the Hazakura side of the
 bridge and crossed on foot.

Judge:
 ...That sounds right.

Bikini:
 But... What's odd is, when I
 left Iris and returned to
 Hazakura Temple...

Bikini:
 I didn't see anything near
 Dusky Bridge.

von Karma:
 Y-You must have just failed
 to see it, Sister.

Bikini:
 Maybe... But when I made it
 back to Hazakura Temple...

Bikini:
 ...it was there, by the Main
 Gate... The snowmobile,
 I mean.

Bikini:
 I know what I saw.
 It was covered in snow, too...

Edgeworth:
 B-But that... isn't possible!

Judge:
 Order! Order!
 Order in the court!
 ...What does this all mean?

von Karma:
 ...Nngh...

Edgeworth:
 So then what was the
 snowmobile used for...?

Edgeworth:
 It wasn't taken by the
 defendant when she went to
 the Inner Temple.

Edgeworth:
 If it had been, then the
 witness couldn't possibly
 have seen it by the gate.

Edgeworth:
 Furthermore... it wasn't used
 by the killer to dispose of
 the murder weapon.

Edgeworth:
 If that was the case, there
 should be two sets of tracks
 in this photo.

Edgeworth:
 All we know is this...

Edgeworth:
 After it stopped snowing...
 someone used the snowmobile
 to return to Hazakura Temple!

Judge:
 Hmmmmmm...

Edgeworth:
 (I never thought a simple
 snowmobile could cause so
 much trouble...)

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 I think we've arrived at
 this point due to the
 witness...

Bikini:
 Yes, yes.
 I've nothing more to add.

Bikini:
 I've told you everything,
 everything that I know.

Judge:
 Well then... That still
 leaves us with the same
 problem.

Judge:
 If only there was someone...
 A witness who could testify to
 having seen the snowmobile!

Edgeworth:
 (A witness, huh...)

Judge:
 Was there no one out, walking
 perhaps, near Dusky Bridge
 on that night?

Bikini:
 ...
 I don't think that's likely.

Bikini:
 It was cold enough to freeze
 your ears off.

Bikini:
 Only an idiot would go out
 wandering in that.

Bikini:
 ...Unless they had something
 really important to do.

Judge:
 Hmmmm...
 That's a shame.

Edgeworth:
 (Hold on...)

Edgeworth:
 (Something is coming to me...)

Edgeworth:
 (An idiot may well have
 gone wandering out on
 that sub-arctic night!)

Edgeworth:
 ...Your Honor!

Edgeworth:
 I actually have an idea...
 There may be one individual
 able to help us.

Judge:
 R-Really!?

von Karma:
 ...You know of someone who
 might have seen the snowmobile
 on the night of the murder...?

Edgeworth:
 I don't know for sure if he
 saw it or not...

Edgeworth:
 But there are two things
 about him that do come to
 mind.

Judge:
 Which are...?

Edgeworth:
 First... that he saw
 "something incredible" on the
 night of the murder.

von Karma:
 ...And the second being?

Edgeworth:
 This individual that I am
 thinking of went wandering
 outside on that cold night...

Edgeworth:
 In other words, he is our
 kind of idiot.

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth! Who is this
 idiot you're talking aboot!?

*Present Larry Butz profile*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Judge:
 This guy must be a product of
 "Jean-Luc de Laduc's Guide To
 Obnoxious French Painting"...

Edgeworth:
 This is Larry Butz... The
 student of the victim,
 Elise Deauxnim.

Judge:
 Her student...?
 Interesting.

Judge:
 Why was he wandering on the
 night of the murder?

Edgeworth:
 T-That's...

Edgeworth:
 (I could tell them all about
 his designs for Iris...)

Edgeworth:
 (But it may cost us his
 credibility as a witness...
 Before I even call him.)

Edgeworth:
 He is, after all, an artist.

Edgeworth:
 He was, perhaps, searching
 for something in the snowy
 scenery that would move him.

Edgeworth:
 ...Although I cannot
 guarantee that this is the
 reason.

von Karma:
 And so...? This unfortunate,
 unreliable-looking man...

von Karma:
 What exactly was it that he
 saw?

Edgeworth:
 I intend to extract that
 from him, right here in
 this courtroom.

Judge:
 Summon this youth as a
 witness immediately!

von Karma:
 ...

von Karma:
 I have no choice, do I?

Edgeworth:
 I believe he is in the gallery
 for this trial.

Edgeworth:
 It will not take long to
 summon him.

Judge:
 ...Very well.

Edgeworth:
 (Larry...)

Edgeworth:
 (You may have escaped me
 yesterday...)

Edgeworth:
 (But today I'm going to get
 everything out of you!)

Judge:
 ...The court will now adjourn
 for a 20 minute break.

Judge:
 Ms. von Karma, please see to
 preparing the next witness.

von Karma:
 ...Understood, Your Honor.

Judge:
 Good...

Judge:
 Well then!
 Court is now in recess!


                                            To be continued.

February 9, 11:15 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

Iris:
 Excuse me... Mr. Edgeworth?
 I'm not really sure what to
 say...

Edgeworth:
 Iris.
 We only have 20 minutes.

Edgeworth:
 There are two things which I
 need to ask you before we
 reconvene.

Iris:
 ...Alright. I'll help
 you any way I can.

Edgeworth:
 First, about that night.
 You really didn't go to the
 Inner Temple, correct?

Edgeworth:
 The last witness claims to
 have met and talked with you
 in the Training Hall.

Edgeworth:
 Either you or Sister Bikini...

Edgeworth:
 ...is lying.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Mr. Edgeworth.
 It is just as I said
 yesterday.

Iris:
 Until the incident occurred...
 I was in my own room, in
 Hazakura Temple.

Edgeworth:
 ...Very well.
 The second thing, then.

Edgeworth:
 That night, the temple
 snowmobile was used in between
 the time Sister Bikini...

Edgeworth:
 ...returned to the Main Hall
 and when she bore witness to
 the murder.

Edgeworth:
 Sometime between 10:30 and
 11 PM that night.

Edgeworth:
 Were you the one who used
 the snowmobile?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 There is only one key for
 the snowmobile.

Iris:
 The only person who could
 have used it... was me.

Edgeworth:
 So it was you...!

Edgeworth:
 But... why?

Edgeworth:
 ...What made you go out to
 Dusky Bridge?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 I'm sorry, Mr. Edgeworth.

*5 PSYCHE-LOCKS*

Edgeworth:
 Iris...

Iris:
 I can't... tell you about
 that... yet.

Edgeworth:
 "Yet"...?

Iris:
 Not until her safety is
 confirmed...

Edgeworth:
 Her?

Iris:
 The safety of the acolyte...

Edgeworth:
 (The "acolyte", huh...)

Edgeworth:
 (She's must be talking about
 Maya...)

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Iris. Look me in the eye
 and tell me the truth.

Edgeworth:
 Did you kill Elise Deauxnim?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 No matter who or what may
 come...

Iris:
 I could never take a life.

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 (As I thought... no
 Psycholock...)

Edgeworth:
 ...Very well.

Edgeworth:
 It is my job to get to the
 truth.

Edgeworth:
 You'll discover this for
 yourself soon enough.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9, 11:36 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 7

Judge:
 ...Court will now reconvene.

Judge:
 Ms. von Karma. Where is the
 witness...?

von Karma:
 During the break, a man was
 detained for suspicious
 behavior in the gallery.

Edgeworth:
 Suspicious behavior...?

von Karma:
 He was sketching something...
 Very intensely.

Judge:
 Dare I ask what the witness
 was sketching when he was
 detained?

von Karma:
 He drew a terrifying woman,
 armed with a demonic face
 and a vicious whip.

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 I can only presume that
 his intention was to
 capture you--

Judge:
 ...Aaaah!

von Karma:
 Anyway, it's time to drag
 this pathetic excuse for an
 artist before the court!

von Karma:
 Laurice Deauxnim!
 I hope you're ready...
 Get in here!

Edgeworth:
 (It would seem that whip
 is going to see plenty more
 use today...)

--------------------------------------------

Butz:
 Ouch!

von Karma:
 ...Your sketch is in
 contempt of this court!

Butz:
 H-Hey!
 I was just artistically
 rendering...

Butz:
 Ou-Ouch!

von Karma:
 You tried to run away from the
 bailiff who was trying to hand
 you your subpoena, correct?

Butz:
 L-Look! I'm nothing but
 a fledgling artist, training
 out in the mountains!

Butz:
 I'm only down here in the
 city because I ran out of
 green paint.

Butz:
 Well, to use the technical
 term for the color,
 "viridian".

Edgeworth:
 ...Larry...

Edgeworth:
 This isn't an art store,
 now is it...?

Butz:
 I know!
 I graduated junior high, OK!?

Butz:
 Look. Art is all about working
 in the fields, isn't it?

Judge:
 Working in the fields...?

Edgeworth:
 I presume he wanted to say
 "field work"... I hope.

Butz:
 Th-That's it!
 Thanks, buddy!

Edgeworth:
 (It's kind of sad that I was
 able to understand his mangled
 train wreck of a sentence...)

Butz:
 I just happened to stop in
 here and found a wonderful
 new model!

von Karma:
 ...

Butz:
 So see!? I've got nothing
 to do with this trial!
 At all!

Butz:
 I expect all of your faces to
 be red when you realize
 this mistake! Bright red!

Butz:
 Or, to use the technical
 term, "crimson lake".

Butz:
 ...Ou-Ou-Ouch!

Butz:
 Ou-Ou-Ou-Ouch!
 Ouch!

Judge:
 Ou-Ou-Ou-Ouch!
 Ouch! Ou-Ouch!

von Karma:
 Stop your pathetic blabbing
 and testify like a man!

Judge:
 Refrain from whipping me,
 Ms. von Karma! Cross-whipping
 is as bad as cross-checking.

Judge:
 Witness! That was all your
 fault! Testify, now!

Butz:
 Waaaah...
 This is almost too much for
 me...!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I Saw --

(1)
Butz:
 I was at that lodge out in
 the mountains, looking up at
 the stars that night.

(2)
Butz:
 I walked to the bridge a
 number of times, but...

(3)
Butz:
 I didn't see a s-snowmobile!

(4)
Butz:
 I didn't meet anyone at the
 bridge that night!

(5)
Butz:
 The girl I was waiting for
 didn't show up... My teacher
 died on me...

(6)
Butz:
 I'm all alone now.
 Aren't I, Edgeyyyyy...!?

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Witness! Please refrain from
 talking directly to the
 lawyers during your testimony!

Butz:
 I-I'm just a nobody! Nothing
 but a small, worthless man,
 aren't I!?

Butz:
 And why wasn't I asked
 for my name and occupation...
 or anything else...!?

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth. This man seems
 to have quite a severe
 inferiority complex.

Edgeworth:
 ...He's recently been the
 cause of numerous incidents.

Edgeworth:
 I think he's finally realized
 for himself...

Edgeworth:
 ...just how much of a nuisance
 he has been to other people!

Butz:
 Yeah, that's right! I'm
 behind everything, every
 case!

Butz:
 Watch out, OK!
 Just touching me will make
 you eternally unhappy!

Judge:
 ...Well then, let us proceed
 with the cross-examination.
 With no touching, thank you.

Judge:
 We can delve into other
 details at a later time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What I Saw --

(1)
Butz:
 I was at that lodge out in
 the mountains, looking up at
 the stars that night.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...

    Judge:
      What ever is the matter,
      Mr. Edgeworth?

    Edgeworth:
      This one single statement is
      so full of contradictions...

    Edgeworth:
      For a moment there, I thought
      I was going to collapse.

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    von Karma:
      So, witness?

    von Karma:
      Any idea as to where these
      contradictions in your
      testimony lie?

    von Karma:
      Depending on your answer...
      I may let my whip have its
      way.

    Butz:
      OK, give me a minute...

    Butz:
      Well, it was snowing that
      night so I couldn't possibly
      have seen the stars.

    Butz:
      That run-down shack is hardly
      a "lodge", is it...?

    Butz:
      And even if the stars could be
      seen, it isn't like I was
      there to look at them, right?

    Edgeworth:
      ...

    von Karma:
      See? You can do it if you try.

    Butz:
      Heh heh heh...

    Butz:
      Ou-Ou-Ou-Ouch!

    von Karma:
      ...There is only one issue
      here.

    von Karma:
      What you saw at Dusky Bridge.

(2)
Butz:
 I walked to the bridge a
 number of times, but...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      "A number of times"...?
      How many?

    Butz:
      Maybe... five times?
      I went once every twenty
      minutes.

    Edgeworth:
      Which means...

    Edgeworth:
      ...you spent almost two hours
      at Heavenly Hall that night?

    Butz:
      You bet! Real love is about
      waiting with your heart in
      your hands!

    Judge:
      Love, you say...?

    Edgeworth:
      It was this man's intention
      to summon the defendant to
      the small shack.

    Edgeworth:
      ...Using this blackmail
      letter.

    Judge:
      B-Blackmail...!?

    Butz:
      No, no! That was simply a
      product of overflowing love...

    Butz:
      A-Agh!

    von Karma:
      You huffy, puffy, loosey-
      goosey excuse for a whimpering
      whining wuss of a witness!

    Judge:
      So... what did you see?
      I hope for your sake you
      saw a snowmobile...

    Judge:
      You huffy, puffy, loosey-
      goosey excuse for a whimpering
      whining wuss of a witness, eh!

    Butz:
      Um... well...
      You see...

    Edgeworth:
      (Being called those names
      doesn't seem to bother him
      at all...)

(3)
Butz:
 I didn't see a s-snowmobile!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...Larry!
      You really didn't see it?

    Butz:
      H-H-Hey!
      No need to hit your desk!
      I can hear you!

    Butz:
      ...I didn't see it!
      I didn't see a s-s-snowmobile!

    Edgeworth:
      ...

    Edgeworth:
      Larry. Say "snowmobile" for
      me, please?

    Butz:
      S-S-S-Snowmobile.

    Edgeworth:
      If you truly have nothing to
      hide...

    Edgeworth:
      ...then why are you
      stammering like you just
      flew over a cuckoo's nest!?

    Butz:
      Sh-Shut up! W-W-What is this!?
      I don't know! Don't ask me!

    Edgeworth:
      (It seems that I'll need to
      start from a more obvious
      contradiction.)

    Edgeworth:
      (I'm going to strike the blow
      that will finally get him to
      spill the beans!)

(4)
Butz:
 I didn't meet anyone at the
 bridge that night!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You didn't meet anyone?

    Butz:
      That's right.
      Because I've got nothing to
      do with this!

    Butz:
      And I'm just here to buy some
      viridian paint, OK!?

    Butz:
      Come on, I expect to see those
      crimson lake faces! Now!

    Judge:
      ...

    Judge:
      It would appear that simply
      pressing him isn't going to be
      enough, Mr. Edgeworth.

    Edgeworth:
      ...Indeed.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (It seems that he's going to
 claim to have nothing to
 do with this to the end.)

Edgeworth:
 (I don't want this guy to
 cost us any more time...)

Edgeworth:
 (I need to slice through his
 obvious contradictions and
 keep things moving along...)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Phoenix Wright profile*

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Larry Butz...

Edgeworth:
 I can understand why you
 might want to throw your old
 life away.

Edgeworth:
 You're pretty pathetic, and
 you cause all sorts of
 trouble...

Butz:
 I'm sorry...!

Edgeworth:
 But... Having realized just
 how much of a nuisance you
 have been...

Edgeworth:
 ...that could be considered
 a step in the right direction.

Butz:
 Edgey! Are you...
 trying to console me?

Judge:
 It certainly doesn't sound
 that way to me.

Edgeworth:
 However...

Edgeworth:
 I cannot forgive you for
 simply turning away from the
 incidents you create!

Butz:
 Waaah...
 You're totally pinning this
 on me...

Edgeworth:
 ...Now then. Let us talk
 about the night of the murder.

Edgeworth:
 Sister Bikini, after seeing
 the murder take place, asked
 Phoenix Wright to report it.

Edgeworth:
 Thus, he headed for the
 public phone by the bridge...

Edgeworth:
 There, he happened across
 a certain nefarious
 individual!

Edgeworth:
 You, Larry Butz!

Butz:
 ...

Butz:
 That's right.
 Me, in the flesh.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 Listen carefully, witness.

Judge:
 It doesn't matter if you
 change your name.

Judge:
 So long as you remain pretty
 pathetic, you will continue to
 cause these incidents!

Judge:
 That reality will not change!

Butz:
 B-But...!
 What do you want me to do,
 then!?

Edgeworth:
 Larry. What you need to
 change is your inner self.

Edgeworth:
 "What you saw that night"...

Edgeworth:
 Testify truthfully!
 That is all you can do
 for now.

Butz:
 ...

Butz:
 Edgey... I...

Butz:
 I think...
 I've finally woken up!

Butz:
 ...

Butz:
 Well. I guess I could still
 be sleeping...

Butz:
 But anyway!
 I'll do it! I'll testify!

Butz:
 ...

Butz:
 Well. I'm not sure this'll
 go especially well...

Judge:
 I'll ask again, then,
 witness.

Judge:
 What did you see on the
 night of the murder?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I Saw, Pt. 2 --

(1)
Butz:
 I went to the shack at around
 9, so it would have been
 about 10:30 PM...

(2)
Butz:
 I was lying under my bedding
 when a white flash almost
 blinded me!

(3)
Butz:
 I looked out the window...
 and Dusky Bridge was on fire!

(4)
Butz:
 There was still some thunder,
 but I went right away to check
 it out.

(5)
Butz:
 That's when I ran into Nick.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmmmm...

Judge:
 You certainly saw quite a
 lot, didn't you?

von Karma:
 So... what happened to the
 bridge after it caught on
 fire?

Butz:
 It was like me after a
 three day stint chasing a
 girl...

Butz:
 It totally burnt out.
 Like, almost totally gone.

Butz:
 ...I mean, trying to cross the
 burning remains was what
 caused Nick to fall.

von Karma:
 W-What did you say!?

Edgeworth:
 Oh, don't worry... nothing
 life-threatening. He just
 caught a cold.

von Karma:
 As always, hard to know
 if he should be called lucky
 or unlucky...

Judge:
 Now, Mr. Edgeworth!
 Please commence your
 cross-examination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What I Saw, Pt. 2 --

(1)
Butz:
 I went to the shack at around
 9, so it would have been
 about 10:30 PM...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      What did you do out there
      in the cold for an hour
      and a half?

    Butz:
      Well, if you really must
      know... I was busy being
      excited. I guess.

    Judge:
      Hmmmmm...
      "Excited"?
      Dare I even ask...?

    Butz:
      I set the meeting time as
      10:00 PM, right?

    Butz:
      But I couldn't wait.
      And I thought she might come
      early, too.

    Edgeworth:
      ...Well, it appears she didn't
      come at all, in the end.

    von Karma:
      Because they never arranged
      to meet in the first place,
      did they?

    Butz:
      Shut up!
      Don't go picking my fond
      memories apart!

    Butz:
      Anyway, I was getting a little
      worried.

    Butz:
      I thought maybe Iris had
      lost her way.

    Butz:
      So every twenty minutes or
      so, I went out to the bridge.

    Butz:
      But I didn't see anything
      particularly suspicious...

    Butz:
      I didn't have anything else
      to do, so I went back to
      the shack to wait for her.

(2)
Butz:
 I was lying under my bedding
 when a white flash almost
 blinded me!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:</pre><pre id="faqspan-14">
      This "light" was, of course...

    Butz:
      Lightning. Like...
      KERPOW!

    Butz:
      Like a slap from Naomi,
      honestly!
      A big bada-boom!

    Butz:
      Hagaaaaah!

    von Karma:
      ...Or a little like that?

    Butz:
      Waaah!
      That's more like a punch from
      Miranda!

    Judge:
      Witness, did you actually see
      the lightning hit the bridge?

    Butz:
      Well, I was a bit startled by
      the flash of light, so...

(3)
Butz:
 I looked out the window...
 and Dusky Bridge was on fire!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Seeing that, what did you do?

    Butz:
      What do you think!?
      I was burning up as well!
      From the fire in my heart!

    von Karma:
      And that's why you went
      to take a look at the bridge?

    Butz:
      Well. To be honest...

    Butz:
      It was freezing cold, so at
      first I thought, "Forget it.
      I'm not leaving my covers."

    Butz:
      But it had pretty much
      stopped snowing... So, I
      dunno, I changed my mind.

    Judge:
      Hmmmmmm.

    Judge:
      I'm not sure I care for the
      "forget it" attitude you had
      at first, witness.

(4)
Butz:
 There was still some thunder,
 but I went right away to check
 it out.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You said "right away"...
      But exactly how long after
      the strike was that?

    Butz:
      Hmm...

    Butz:
      The lightning fell, and then
      the bridge caught on fire...
      Maybe around five minutes?

    Butz:
      I mean. I suddenly thought,
      "Gotta go check this out!"

    von Karma:
      How far is this small shack
      you were in from the bridge?

    Butz:
      Hold on... Well, it had pretty
      much stopped snowing...

    Butz:
      I guess about a five-minute
      walk?

    Edgeworth:
      And how did Dusky Bridge look
      when you got there?

    Butz:
      Like I had recovered a piece
      of my childhood.

    Butz:
      I mean, not even the bonfires
      kids make during school
      camping trips can compare!

    Edgeworth:
      (...Well? Should I press him
      for a little more info?)

    *** Not right now. *************************

    * Edgeworth:
    *   (I don't think we can

    *   other leads.)
    *
    * Judge:

    *   your testimony.

    ********************************************

    *** Why didn't you call anyone? ************
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   ...Larry. Let me ask you
    *   one thing.
    *
    * Butz:
    *   What is it, Edgey?
    *   What's with the serious face?
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Why didn't you call anyone?
    *
    * Butz:
    *   Eh? What do you mean?
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Normally... when faced with
    *   a "towering inferno", one
    *   would try and tell someone.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   There is a public phone right
    *   by Dusky Bridge, correct?
    *
    * Butz:
    *   ...
    *
    * Butz:
    *   Well, of course I thought
    *   of doing that.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   So then... let's hear why
    *   you didn't!
    *
    * Butz:
    *   H-Huh?
    *   Yeah, OK.
    *   A reason... My reason...
    *
    * Butz:
    *   It isn't that I didn't try
    *   to tell anyone... I just
    *   didn't have time to, OK?

    ********************************************

    *** Why did you go to the bridge? **********
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   So you suddenly thought to

    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Does this mean that you

    *
    * Butz:
    *   W-Well... Yeah, I guess it

    *
    * Butz:
    *   It was really cold...
    *   I didn't really want to go
    *   out there.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   If that's the case...
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Why did you change your mind?

Butz:
 That's when I ran into Nick.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      How did Phoenix Wright look
      when you met him?

    Butz:
      Hmm... He looked like a
      beaten up mule. He was
      dead tired.

    Butz:
      I mean, he had run all the
      way from Hazakura Temple.

    Butz:
      He simply stood, staring at
      me, breathing hard for a
      moment.

    von Karma:
      How far is it to Hazakura
      Temple from the bridge?

    Butz:
      On his legs... a 15 minute
      run, I'd say.

    Judge:
      ...And that's when the murder
      was reported?

    Butz:
      That's right! And then he
      took a fall from the bridge!

(5b)
Butz:
 I arrived at the bridge, and
 Nick showed up less than a
 minute later.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You claim to have arrived at
      the bridge at the same time
      as Wright?

    Butz:
      Y-Yeah!

    Butz:
      I thought, "I'd better tell
      someone about this."

    Butz:
      But then Nick came up yelling
      about murder!

    Butz:
      It totally made me forget
      about the bridge.

    Butz:
      The fire was pretty much out
      by then, anyway.

    Edgeworth:
      (What's this feeling...?
      I suddenly have a terrible
      case of unease...!)

    von Karma:
      It was after contacting the
      police that Phoenix Wright
      fell from the bridge, correct?

    Butz:
      Yeah. That's pretty much it.
      More or less.

(5c)
Butz:
 I thought I'd never get
 another chance to see
 something so big burning!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...So you decided to go and
      see what was happening?

    Butz:
      That's right! We're talking
      about a massive suspension
      bridge burning to high heaven!

    Butz:
      That's not something you see
      every day. A real spec...
      specule...

    Butz:
      ...
      Like, really special?

    Edgeworth:
      (Can we really trust a
      witness who is unable to
      pronounce "spectacle"?)

    Judge:
      Life seems to love hitting
      this poor witness below
      the belt...

    Butz:
      Well, my motto is to "hit life
      back as hard as I can."

    Butz:
      A-Agah!

    von Karma:
      ...I'll give you a few hits
      too, if you'd like.
      With my whip.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (...He told me about the
 burning bridge yesterday.)

Edgeworth:
 (But there's still something
 that doesn't quite fit...)

Edgeworth:
 (It looks like...)

Edgeworth:
 (...despite his change of
 heart, Larry still isn't
 telling us the whole truth.)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Weather Data* at (5b)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Your very existence being a
 contradiction, I'm not sure if
 you can grasp this or not...

Butz:
 What the hey, Edgey!?
 You make me sound like
 some sort of alien!

Edgeworth:
 But your testimony is
 conclusively contradictory.

Edgeworth:
 The problem here...
 is time.

Butz:
 I've never been the best
 timekeeper, you know.

Butz:
 "Three minutes after Billy
 leaves on foot, you follow
 him on your bicycle."

Butz:
 "How long does it take for
 you to catch up with him?"
 Terrible at those.

Edgeworth:
 ...This is much more simple.

Edgeworth:
 You saw the lightning strike
 Dusky Bridge...

Edgeworth:
 ...and immediately went to see
 what had happened.
 ...Is this correct?

Butz:
 Yeah... Well, I wasted about
 five minutes first, but more
 or less.

Edgeworth:
 ...I have the weather data
 from the night of the murder
 here.

Edgeworth:
 According to this, the
 lightning fell at 10:45 PM.

Edgeworth:
 You say it takes less than
 five minutes from the shack to
 Dusky Bridge.

Edgeworth:
 Meaning you probably got there
 at around 11 PM.

Butz:
 ...That all sounds about
 right, I guess.

Butz:
 And then Nick showed up and
 did his falling act.

Edgeworth:
 That is impossible.

von Karma:
 ...What do you mean?

Edgeworth:
 11 PM is when the murder
 occurred in Hazakura Temple.

Edgeworth:
 Thus... Wright was still
 there, in the courtyard.

Edgeworth:
 There is no way that Larry
 could have encountered him at
 Dusky Bridge at that time!

von Karma:
 ...!

Butz:
 Ah! Excuse me! I-I have an
 objection!

Judge:
 You do?

Butz:
 Edgey! How many times do
 I have to say this!?

Butz:
 I'm not Larry!
 I'm Laurice Deauxnim!

Butz:
 Gyaaah!

von Karma:
 ...It has not been proven that
 the murder occurred at 11 PM.

von Karma:
 The Sister only said, "around
 11".

von Karma:
 ...In which case! It could
 have been earlier than that!

Edgeworth:
 ...Watch your footing there,
 Ms. Franziska von Karma.
 The slope ahead is slippery!

Edgeworth:
 For there is still no way that
 Wright could have been at
 Dusky Bridge at 11 PM!

von Karma:
 And why not!?

Edgeworth:
 It is clearly written here
 in the weather data report.

Edgeworth:
 It took around 30 minutes for
 the bridge to burn out.

Edgeworth:
 Therefore! The bridge must
 have been burning until at
 least 11:15 PM!

Judge:
 Which means... what, exactly?

Edgeworth:
 Wright did not see the
 bridge as it was burning
 that night.

Edgeworth:
 He did not arrive there until
 after the flames had died
 down!

Edgeworth:
 ...Larry!

Edgeworth:
 You arrived at the bridge
 at 11 PM.

Edgeworth:
 Wright did not make it there
 until at least 11:15...

Edgeworth:
 Are you still trying to hide
 something from us!?

Edgeworth:
 What happened during these
 missing 15 minutes!?

Butz:
 Urk...

Butz:
 I... I feel like I just
 woke up...

Butz:
 I guess I was still
 sleeping after all!
 Ha ha ha! Pinch me!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 Ordaaaaaaaaagh!

von Karma:
 ...So there was a missing 15
 minutes prior to meeting
 Phoenix Wright.

von Karma:
 I hardly see that as much of
 a problem!

Butz:
 Yeah! Not much of a problem at
 all!

Edgeworth:
 Really...?

Edgeworth:
 The bridge is burning before
 your eyes, and there is a
 phone right next to it.

Edgeworth:
 Why, then, did you not report
 the accident?

Judge:
 Did you simply... watch the
 bridge burn?

Edgeworth:
 That is the problem here...

Edgeworth:
 Even after the bridge burnt
 out, he was still there!

Edgeworth:
 He simply stood there and
 didn't report anything.

von Karma:
 Th-That's what it sounds
 like...

Edgeworth:
 This might be Larry we are
 talking about, but even he is
 incapable of being so stupid.

Edgeworth:
 There has to be a reason
 for his inaction!

Butz:
 ...

Butz:
 Edgey...

Butz:
 I think it's about time
 I got serious with you,
 dude.

Edgeworth:
 ...Just as I thought, you've
 been playing with us all this
 time.

Butz:
 Listen...
 I'm...

Butz:
 I'm going to tell you
 everything! Are you sure
 you want to hear it all!?

Edgeworth:
 Y-Yes...

Butz:
 I may reeeeally say it this
 time! Everything!

Butz:
 Kahaah!

von Karma:
 ...Then say it!

Judge:
 Very well...
 I have a terribly bad feeling
 aboot this; however...

Judge:
 ...let's have the witness
 finally give us the whole
 truth.

Judge:
 Now... for this 15 minute
 gap, what where you doing,
 witness!?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Missing 15 Minutes --

(1)
Butz:
 I'm a Deauxnim. I'm an artist!
 What do you think I was doing?

(2)
Butz:
 Sketching! In front of the
 bridge! I was whipped up into
 a frenzy of art!

(3)
Butz:
 The shock and awe that I
 was feeling... I transferred
 it all directly onto the page!

(4)
Butz:
 ...Before I realized it, the
 flames had gone out and then
 he came running up.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmmmmm...

Judge:
 I suppose artists can be
 strange folk...

Butz:
 That's right! I'm willing to
 sacrifice everything in order
 to draw the perfect sketch!

Edgeworth:
 (...Including the truth, from
 the sound of it!)

Judge:
 Mr. Edgeworth.
 Has this removed the last of
 your doubts?

Edgeworth:
 Not at all, Your Honor.
 One very large doubt still
 remains.

Judge:
 And what would that be?

Edgeworth:
 This is a surprisingly
 believable story, especially
 considering the source...

Edgeworth:
 So why did he think he
 needed to hide it from us
 until now?

Edgeworth:
 I intend to drag the reason
 out of him!

Butz:
 Hah ha ha! You'll regret this,
 Edgey!

CROSS EXAMINATION

(1)
Butz:
 I'm a Deauxnim. I'm an artist!
 What do you think I was doing?

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Tell us, Larry...

    Butz:
      My name is Laurice!
      Get it right!

    Butz:
      Mistakes like that are what
      keep you from being popular
      with the ladies like I am!

    Judge:

    Judge:
      Just who exactly are you!?

    Butz:
      I'm Laurice Deauxnim!
      Apprentice extraordinaire!

    Edgeworth:
      That's what he calls himself,
      in any case.

    Judge:
      ...Then you are... an artist?

    Butz:
      Of course!
      I'm an artist, the real thing!

    Edgeworth:
      Yet again, that's what he
      calls himself.

    von Karma:
      ...Names mean nothing.

    von Karma:
      There is only one issue
      I care to discuss.
      What were you doing?

    Edgeworth:
      (That is a very big issue,
      indeed.)

(2)
Butz:
 Sketching! In front of the
 bridge! I was whipped up into
 a frenzy of art!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      S-Sketching!?
      The burning bridge?

    Butz:
      The burning bridge and
      everything that came with it!

    Edgeworth:
      ...

    Edgeworth:
      What?
      "Came with it"...?

    Butz:
      You want to hear this from
      my lips, do you, Edgey!?

    Butz:
      Y-You'll regret this!
      That sketch of mine is...

    Butz:
      Gaaah!

    von Karma:
      ...Enough.

    von Karma:
      Just take that ridiculous
      sketch of yours out
      already, witness!

    Butz:
      ...

    Butz:
      W-W-W-What are you talking
      about? I don't know what you
      mean!

    Judge:
      That does indeed appear to be
      the fastest solution.

    Judge:
      ...I'll leave it to you,
      Mr. Edgeworth.

    Edgeworth:
      (What should I do...?)

    Edgeworth:
      (I've got a terrible feeling
      that the instant this sketch
      is revealed...)

    Edgeworth:
      (...the entire world may be
      changed by what is depicted
      there...!)

    *** Leave it alone *************************

    * Edgeworth:
    *   ...I cannot recommend looking

    * Butz:
    *   Well, well... Even I couldn't

    *
    * Butz:
    *   What?
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   The burning bridge is fine.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   But... What is that
    *   unfortunate looking figure...?
    *
    * Butz:
    *   Ah. You spotted that?
    *   I thought you might.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   However much I might want to
    *   ignore it... I can't.
    *
    * Butz:
    *   It's Iris, of course! Iris!
    *
    * Butz:
    *   I wish she'd take better care
    *   of herself. We have to plan
    *   for our future, you know!
    *
    * Butz:
    *   What would've happened to her
    *   if she had injured herself
    *   flying like that...?

    * Edgeworth:
    *   ...
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Larry, please. Answer this
    *   next question honestly.
    *
    * Butz:
    *   OK.
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Are you REALLY claiming to
    *   have seen this?
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   Are you claiming to have seen
    *   the silhouette of the
    *   defendant...
    *
    * Edgeworth:
    *   ...flying over a bridge that
    *   was engulfed in flames...?
    *
    * Butz:
    *   Yep. That's what I saw.
    *
    * Butz:
    *   That's why I drew it!
    *   I'm an artist! A real artist!

    *   Uwaaah!

    * Judge:
    *   What was that for!?
    *
    * von Karma:
    *   ...This is all a bad dream.
    *
    * von Karma:

    *
    * Butz:
    *   She was flying pretty high,
    *   my sweet Iris.
    *
    * Butz:
    *   She was about 30 feet above

(2b)
Butz:
 Sketching! In front of the
 bridge! I was whipped up into
 a frenzy of art!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...Could the reason you were
      so excited be...?

    Butz:
      What do you think!?

    Butz:
      My girlfriend was flying
      through the sky!

    Butz:
      Almost 30 feet above the
      bridge!

    Butz:
      I felt like I might start
      flying myself.

    Edgeworth:
      (If only you'd be so
      kind as to fly out of
      all of our lives...!)

    Butz:
      Anyway! I completely lost
      myself when I was drawing
      this scene!

(2c)
Butz:
 I saw Iris flying!
 Her white hood fluttering!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Just where did you see this
      sight from!?

    Butz:
      Hey! No need to shout...

    Butz:
      When I was lying in bed in
      that run-down shack...

    Butz:
      The crack of the lightning
      bolt made me realize that
      the bridge was burning.

    Butz:
      I just watched it for a
      while from there, thinking
      how nicely it was burning!

    Butz:
      Then after about five
      minutes, I saw it.

    von Karma:
      The defendant "flying"...?

    Butz:
      That's right!

    Butz:
      That's when I decided to go
      to the bridge!

    Judge:
      ...I see. That all makes
      sense.

    Judge:
      Aside from the sketch
      itself...

    Edgeworth:
      (Yes... This sketch doesn't
      make any sense...)

    Edgeworth:
      (I just need to convince
      the artist that his work is
      ludicrous.)

(3)
Butz:
 The shock and awe that I
 was feeling... I transferred
 it all directly onto the page!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      The burning bridge moved you
      that much, did it?

    Edgeworth:
      ...I find that hard to
      believe.

    Butz:
      You moron, Edgey!
      You don't understand me
      at all!

    Butz:
      If I see an abandoned cat,
      I find myself passing by it
      with tears in my eyes!

    Butz:
      I am a man overflowing with
      irresponsible kindness!

    Butz:
      And I use my irresponsible
      kindness to fill the pages
      of my notebook!

    von Karma:
      An artist, using a notebook...
      It's so pathetic, it makes me
      want to cry myself.

    von Karma:
      I command you to go buy at
      least a proper sketch pad!

    Butz:
      W-W-What has that got to do
      with anything!?

    Judge:
      I'm not sure if I care for an
      artist using a notebook for
      sketching. Proceed, witness.

(4)
Butz:
 ...Before I realized it, the
 flames had gone out and then
 he came running up.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      You forgot the passage of
      time to that extent, did you?

    Butz:
      Well... Once I get caught up
      in something, I tend to forget
      everything else...

    Edgeworth:
      (That's true... He's always
      been that way.)

    Edgeworth:
      (I guess he's not lying about
      that, at least.)

    von Karma:
      Phoenix Wright appeared
      on the scene after 11:15...

    von Karma:
      If he was drawing until then,
      that dispels all doubts.

    Judge:
      Aside from doubts of his
      humanity, eh...

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (There is a big clue waiting
 for me in this cross-
 examination...)

Edgeworth:
 (This testimony does nothing
 less than mock the court...)

Edgeworth:
 (But I am sure that there is
 a vital kernel of truth hidden
 in it somewhere!)

*Present Iris's Hood* at (2c)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 Larry. What did you really
 see that night...?

Edgeworth:
 Not that I particularly care.

Butz:
 In your position, that's
 just being irresponsible!

Butz:
 I... I drew exactly what I
 saw!

Butz:
 I'll give you a whole
 dollar that it's the truth!

Edgeworth:
 If that is truly the case...

Edgeworth:
 Then there is one thing that
 we can say for certain.

Judge:
 What might that be...?

Edgeworth:
 That the person who flew over
 the bridge...

Edgeworth:
 ...could not have been the
 defendant, Iris!

Butz:
 W-W-What!?
 What do you mean?
 I don't understand!?

Butz:
 Uwaaagh!

von Karma:
 A foolhardy folly of a foolish
 statement by an equally
 foolishly foolhardy fool.

von Karma:
 How, exactly, can you make
 this claim?

Edgeworth:
 ...Tell us, Larry.
 According to this picture...

Edgeworth:
 ...the individual whom you say
 you saw was wearing a hood.
 Correct?

Butz:
 Of course she was!

Butz:
 That run-down shack is quite a
 way from the bridge...

Butz:
 The hood is what told me
 that this floating angel
 was my Iris!

Butz:
 The hood is my darling Iris!
 And Iris is my darling hood!

Butz:
 Waaah!

von Karma:
 It seems there are bigger
 fools in this world than the
 one at the defense's bench.

Edgeworth:
 ...Larry, there's something
 you need to be made aware of.

Edgeworth:
 On the night of the murder...
 Iris wasn't wearing her hood.

Edgeworth:
 She had given it to Wright
 as a gift!

Edgeworth:
 Are you going to change your
 story now? Perhaps suggest it
 was Wright who took flight!?

Butz:
 W-What are you talking about!?

Edgeworth:
 ...I think you understand
 what I mean just fine.

Butz:
 Why...?

Butz:
 Why did Nick have Iris's
 hood!?

Edgeworth:
 Eh...?

Butz:
 Edgey!
 What's going on with
 Iris and Nick!?

Butz:
 Why you, Niiiiiick!
 You dooooooog!

Judge:
 I do believe...

Judge:
 ...that this unbelievably
 mysterious sketch...

Judge:
 ...is destined to disappear,
 discredited and discarded.
 Straight into the garbage.

Butz:
 ...Hah...

Butz:
 Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
 Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Butz:
 Hagaaah!

von Karma:
 ...What is it now, witness?

Butz:
 It feels like... I've been
 waiting 25 years for
 this very day to come!

Butz:
 Edgey!
 Today is the day I get to
 completely stupefy you!

Edgeworth:
 W-What...!?

Judge:
 What is the meaning of your
 outburst, witness!?

Butz:
 ...I hate to have to do this,
 but I have some definitive
 evidence.

Edgeworth:
 "Definitive"...?

von Karma:
 "Evidence"...?

Butz:
 Iris did indeed come flying
 over the burning bridge!

Butz:
 And I, Laurice Deauxnim...

Butz:
 ...shall prove it!

Judge:
 I didn't expect to ask
 this again...

Judge:
 But we shall be needing
 your testimony once again.

Judge:
 Tell us anything you know
 concerning the defendant as
 depicted in this sketch...

Judge:
 And show us your evidence that
 this nightmare was actually a
 reality!

Butz:
 ...OK. I hope you're ready,
 Edgey!

Butz:
 Because I'm going to feed
 you a whopping serving of
 pain!

Edgeworth:
 (...You've been serving us a
 whopping serving of pain this
 whole time. Trust me.)

Witness Testimony
-- Proof That Iris Flew! --

(1)
Butz:
 When I reached Dusky Bridge
 she was already gone...

(2)
Butz:
 I was so worried!
 So I frantically searched all
 over for her!

(3)
Butz:
 That led to me finding
 a beautiful crystal sphere,
 half-buried in the snow!

(4)
Butz:
 I'm sure that Iris was simply
 wearing a spare hood.

(5)
Butz:
 After all, no one else could
 have lost a crystal sphere
 that night.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 A c-crystal sphere...!?

Butz:
 This one.
 Pretty, isn't it?
 But finders keepers!

von Karma:
 That sphere...
 Where did you find it?


Butz:
 Let me see... Around here,
 somewhere? Looks about right.

Edgeworth:
 And it was half-buried in
 the snow...?

Butz:
 It had pretty much stopped
 snowing by then...

Butz:
 But there was still some
 falling as I walked to
 the bridge.

Judge:
 Hmmmm...
 The court accepts this
 crystal sphere!

Butz:
 ...That's mine, OK!?
 I want it back afterward!

Judge:
 There's something on it,
 isn't there...

von Karma:
 ...?

Judge:
 Oh my...
 It's a blood stain!

Edgeworth:
 (What!? A blood stain...!?)

*Crystal Sphere added to the
Court Record.*

Butz:
 You ready, Edgey!?

Butz:
 By tomorrow morning,
 you'll be calling me
 "Master Larry"!

Butz:
 Yeah, I like the sound of
 that! No one's going to push
 me around anymore!

Edgeworth:
 (...Didn't you want to be
 called "Laurice Deauxnim"
 only a few minutes ago!?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Proof That Iris Flew! --

(1)
Butz:
 When I reached Dusky Bridge
 she was already gone...

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      ...So, you went to the
      burning bridge?

    Butz:
      That's right! To meet Iris!

    Butz:
      She actually flew to get to
      me! The least I could do
      was meet her halfway!

    Judge:
      But... the defendant was not
      at the bridge when you got
      there, you say?

    Butz:
      I guess she went back to
      Hazakura Temple.

    Butz:
      She's a girl, after all.
      She must have wanted to look
      her best.

    Edgeworth:
      (It must be lovely to live in
      the fantasyland of Larry's
      mind...)

    Edgeworth:
      (Actually, it's so depressing
      that I can't even work up the
      energy to point...)

    Judge:
      So... what did you do next?

(2)
Butz:
 I was so worried!
 So I frantically searched all
 over for her!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      So you searched all over
      for her?

    Butz:
      She was flying pretty high,
      you know.

    Butz:
      I thought maybe she slipped on
      her landing and got hurt. Hey!
      It was more than possible!

    Butz:
      Also, when I headed out to
      the shack the first time, I
      was snacking on a banana.

    Butz:
      I was pretty sure I threw the
      peel away somewhere around
      there, so, you know...

    Edgeworth:
      ...
      (Can one guy really be
      this stupid?)

    Edgeworth:
      So, did you find any signs
      of her so-called "landing"?

    Butz:
      Hmm...
      I don't really remember.

    Butz:
      I kept on falling over myself,
      and kinda lost it for a while
      there.

    Judge:
      You... fell over yourself?

    Butz:
      Yeah. The snow was deep, and
      there was even a banana peel
      out there!

    Edgeworth:
      ...
      (Yup. There's stupid, and
      then there's Larry Butz.)

    Judge:
      The short of it is that you
      didn't find any signs of her
      "landing", correct?

    Judge:
      Then what happened next?

(3)
Butz:
 That led to me finding
 a beautiful crystal sphere,
 half-buried in the snow!

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      "Half-buried"...?

    Butz:
      It was sitting in the snow,
      with a little gathered on
      top of it.

    Butz:
      It was very hard to spot,
      actually. I mean, it was dark
      out, too.

    Judge:
      I'm impressed... You did well
      to find it!

    Butz:
      No matter what you may think
      when you look at me, I'm a
      pro. A genius security guard.

    Butz:
      I used a penlight I "borrowed"
      from my company to help in
      my search...

    Butz:
      And it sparkled really
      brightly, as if it was saying,
      "Here I am!" to me.

    Edgeworth:
      It does indeed look very
      much like the crystal sphere
      on Iris's hood...

    Edgeworth:
      But need I remind you that
      she was not wearing her hood
      that night?

(4)
Butz:
 I'm sure that Iris was simply
 wearing a spare hood.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Each nun is assigned their
      own hood! And they are
      assigned only one!

    Butz:
      I don't know anything about
      that, OK! And Iris is special,
      alright dude!?

    Butz:
      Even if she did steal a
      spare hood...
      I'll forgive her!

    Edgeworth:
      (This is getting us nowhere...
      Our destination for the day,
      it seems.)

    Judge:
      However... this crystal
      sphere was found near the
      bridge. That is a fact.

    Judge:
      If it didn't come from a
      hood, where could it have
      come from?

    Edgeworth:
      (That is the question I aim
      to answer.)

(5)
Butz:
 After all, no one else could
 have lost a crystal sphere
 that night.

    Edgeworth:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Edgeworth:
      Let me confirm this
      one last time, Larry.

    Edgeworth:
      The reasons you thought that
      this was "Iris"...

    Edgeworth:
      ...are the hood and this
      crystal sphere, correct?

    Butz:
      That's right! My gut is
      never wrong!

    Butz:
      I met that old Bikini the
      next morning...

    Butz:
      And her crystal sphere was
      still there, safe and sound!

    Judge:
      Indeed...

    Judge:
      She was wearing it in this
      very room, earlier today.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 (This case isn't going to
 end without a fight...)

Edgeworth:
 (Exposing the obvious
 contradictions in this
 testimony will be easy...)

Edgeworth:
 (But I fear that all that
 awaits us are further
 mysteries!)

*Present Photo of Elise or Victim's Staff or Elise Deauxnim profile* at (5)

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Larry.

Edgeworth:
 That night...
 There was someone.

Edgeworth:
 Someone who lost a crystal
 sphere.

Butz:
 Th-There was...?

Butz:
 Who!?
 Who was this stupid idiot!?

Edgeworth:
 Ms. Elise Deauxnim!
 The mentor to a stupid
 idiot!

von Karma:
 The victim...!?

Edgeworth:
 I have a photo of her here.

Edgeworth:
 And on the end of her staff,
 you can see a familiar looking
 crystal sphere.

Butz:
 H-Hey...!

Butz:
 That's my photograph!
 ...Give it back!

Butz:
 Ou-Ou-Ouuuuch!

von Karma:
 ...A crystal sphere like that
 is quite easy to find.

von Karma:
 I have one just like it
 on my broach.

Edgeworth:
 (They look nothing alike!)

Edgeworth:
 In any case... please take a
 look at this.

Edgeworth:
 This is the victim's staff,
 found at the scene of the
 crime!

Judge:
 ...Aaaaah!
 The crystal sphere...
 It's gone!

Butz:
 W-W-W-W...

Butz:
 What!? What!? What!? What!?

Butz:
 WHAAAAAAAAAAT!?

Judge:
 J-Just what does this mean!?

Edgeworth:
 If anyone jumped... or flew
 across the bridge that
 night...

Edgeworth:
 ...it certainly was not Iris!
 After all...

Edgeworth:
 She was not wearing her hood!
 More importantly...

Edgeworth:
 ...the crystal sphere found at
 the "landing site" was not
 hers either!

Judge:
 T-That means...
 The one who flew...

Judge:
 ...and dropped the sphere...
 was the victim, Ms. Elise
 Deauxnim!?

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 A fool alongside another fool,
 on a fool's errand to reach a
 foolish conclusion!

von Karma:
 First of all, this "sketch",
 which I prefer to call a
 scribble, is ridiculous!

von Karma:
 People cannot fly!
 ...Thus, it is rejected!

Butz:
 Y-You can't do that!
 I saw it! With my own two--

Butz:
 Eyeeeeeeiiiz!

von Karma:
 ...And this crystal sphere.

von Karma:
 This is nothing more than
 a red herring!

Edgeworth:
 You honestly believe that...?

von Karma:
 Give it some thought, and I'm
 sure you'll realize it as
 well, Miles Edgeworth!

von Karma:
 Elise Deauxnim was in her
 room on the night of the
 murder.

von Karma:
 There was no reason for her to
 go to Dusky Bridge!

von Karma:
 Therefore, this sphere cannot
 be related to this case.
 That is all.

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...Ms. Franziska von Karma.

Edgeworth:
 The only people who will
 accept that explanation...
 are scatterbrains and clowns!

Butz:
 Why are you pointing at me!?

Edgeworth:
 The victim's crystal sphere
 was found, near the bridge, on
 the night of her murder.

Edgeworth:
 Yet you expect us to believe
 this has nothing to do with
 the case!?

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 That crystal sphere...

von Karma:
 It was probably thrown away
 at the bridge after the
 murder.

Judge:
 After the murder?

von Karma:
 There is blood on the crystal
 sphere, isn't there?

von Karma:
 This naturally suggests that
 it was thrown away after
 the murder took place.

von Karma:
 The killer placed it there
 to throw the investigation
 off the scent...

von Karma:
 The same reason that he drew
 that ridiculous sketch!

Butz:
 ...
 ......

Butz:
 What...?

Butz:
 You mean... I'm the killer!?

Butz:
 No waaaagh!

von Karma:
 Enough joking...

von Karma:
 Just when did this crystal
 sphere appear near the foot
 of the bridge?

von Karma:
 Unless this can be proven in
 some way, I refuse to believe
 this is related to the case!

Edgeworth:
 (She makes a valid point...)

Edgeworth:
 (There is no evidence that
 Elise Deauxnim left Hazakura
 Temple that night.)

Edgeworth:
 (...However, if somehow
 this crystal sphere...)

Edgeworth:
 (...can be proven to have been
 dropped before the victim
 was killed...)

Edgeworth:
 (...then this case is going
 to transform into something
 else entirely!)

Judge:
 Your response, Mr. Edgeworth?

Judge:
 I want your final opinion on
 the disposition of this
 crystal sphere!

Judge:
 If it is not related to the
 case, then this witness who
 you called...

Judge:
 ...will have been nothing more
 than a monumental waste of
 time!

von Karma:
 Prepare yourself for some
 very appropriate punishment,
 Miles Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 (Can I prove it...?)

Edgeworth:
 (Can I prove that the crystal
 sphere was dropped before
 the murder took place...?)

*** Yes, I can. ****************************

* Edgeworth:
*   ("Can I prove it...?"
*   That isn't the issue.)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   (To simply "prove it".
*   That's the only option!)

* Edgeworth:
*   (That's what he'd do...)
*
* Edgeworth:

*** No, it is impossible. ******************

*
* Edgeworth:
*   (But perhaps it is just a

*
* von Karma:
*   Well, well...
*   Miles Edgeworth seems to have

Edgeworth:
 ...Your Honor.
 Allow me to prove something

Edgeworth:
 I will prove that this crystal
 sphere is a vital link to
 solving this case!

Judge:
 You will do what!?

von Karma:
 That look in your eyes...

von Karma:
 You remind me of
 Phoenix Wright when he is
 cornered.

Edgeworth:
 That should come as no
 surprise.

Edgeworth:
 (Because right now, I am
 Phoenix Wright, and I am
 indeed cornered...!)

Judge:
 I order you to present your

 Evidence that proves that the

*Present Crime Photo*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 This crystal sphere...
 It was half-buried in the
 snow, correct?

Butz:
 That's right. If it hadn't
 stopped snowing then it would
 have been game over.

Butz:
...The snow would have totally
 covered it!

Edgeworth:
 ...That's all I needed to hear
 from you, Larry.

Edgeworth:
 ...Your testimony makes one
 thing quite clear.

Judge:
 W-What...?

Edgeworth:
 When the crystal sphere was
 dropped, it was snowing, even
 if it was ever so slightly...

von Karma:
 Snowing...?

Edgeworth:
 On the other hand, let us
 look at the scene of the
 murder.

Edgeworth:
 As proven earlier today...
 there is no snow on the
 victim's body.

Judge:
 Ah...!

Edgeworth:
 ...Therefore!

Edgeworth:
 The crystal sphere must have
 been dropped before the
 murder!

von Karma:
 Wha...

von Karma:
 Whaaaaat!?

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Edgeworth:
 On the night of the murder
 the victim did indeed go to
 Dusky Bridge!

Edgeworth:
 And there, something occurred
 that caused this crystal
 sphere to come loose!

Judge:
 What... What could that have
 been!?

Edgeworth:
 This sphere...
 There is some blood on it,
 isn't there?

von Karma:
 ...!

Edgeworth:
 Allow me to raise a certain
 possibility at this junction!

Edgeworth:
 The real crime scene was
 near the foot of Dusky Bridge!

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 The murder didn't take
 place in the Hazakura Temple
 courtyard...!?

von Karma:
 Only a fool would suggest
 such a foolish piece of
 absolute foolishness!

Edgeworth:
 Just who is the fool?
 And which part is so foolish,
 Ms. von Karma?

von Karma:
 Have you been paying any
 attention this whole time,
 Miles Edgeworth!?

von Karma:
 The Sister saw everything!

von Karma:
 She saw the victim being
 killed by the defendant in the
 Hazakura Temple courtyard!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...That's not exactly true,
 now is it?

Edgeworth:
 To put it more precisely,
 what she saw was...

Edgeworth:
 ...the murder weapon being
 removed from the victim's
 body.

von Karma:
 Th-That's the same thing!

Edgeworth:
 ...No, it isn't!

von Karma:
 !

Edgeworth:
 ...You said it yourself.

--------------------------------------------

von Karma:
 Very little blood is actually
 lost...

von Karma:
 ...at the moment of a
 blade's insertion.

von Karma:
 If you want to talk about
 when the most blood would
 be lost from a body...

von Karma:
 ...that would be when the
 blade is removed.

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 If that statement is the
 truth...

Edgeworth:
 ...then Dusky Bridge could
 very easily be the scene of
 the murder.

Edgeworth:
 The murder weapon was not
 removed! Thus, there was no
 bleeding!

von Karma:
 *OBJECTION!*

von Karma:
 You are forgetting one vital
 thing, Miles Edgeworth!

von Karma:
 Elise Deauxnim's body was
 found in Hazakura Temple!

von Karma:
 On foot it takes 15 minutes
 to travel from Dusky Bridge
 to Hazakura Temple.

von Karma:
 You mean to suggest someone
 carried the body all that
 way!?

Edgeworth:
 (I've made it this far...
 The only place to take this
 is to the end!)

Edgeworth:
 (I just need to prove
 the possibility it happened
 as I presume...!)

Judge:
 Now, if the defense is ready,
 the court would like to
 have an explanation.

Judge:
 Please show us the method by
 which the victim's body was
 carried to Hazakura Temple!

*Present Tracks Photo*

Edgeworth:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Edgeworth:
 On that snowy night...

Edgeworth:
 ...there is one way that a
 body could have been moved.

Edgeworth:
 The snowmobile.

von Karma:
 Ah...!

Edgeworth:
 As we know... the snowmobile
 was used that night.

Edgeworth:
 It was explained as having
 been used to dispose of the
 murder weapon...

Edgeworth:
 But it could also have been
 used to carry a body!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 Gyaaaaah!

von Karma:
 This... This is completely
 unacceptable, Miles Edgeworth!

von Karma:
 You've dug yourself into
 your own grave!

Edgeworth:
 What do you mean!?

von Karma:
 The only one who could have
 used the snowmobile was the
 defendant.

von Karma:
 She's the one who moved the
 body! Doesn't that put the
 final nail in your coffin...?

Edgeworth:
 Heh...

Edgeworth:
 You're too late...
 Franziska von Karma.

Edgeworth:
 And in fact, the defense has
 proven something else
 entirely.

Edgeworth:
 We have shown that this
 case requires further</pre><pre id="faqspan-15">
 investigation!

von Karma:
 W-What!?

Edgeworth:
 ...Where was the victim,
 Elise Deauxnim really killed?

Edgeworth:
 ...If her body was moved,
 whatever for?

Edgeworth:
 And finally...

Edgeworth:
 Just what does this image
 mean?

von Karma:
 Do you even need to think
 about that!?

von Karma:
 Such a creature could never
 see the truth, let alone
 describe it!

Edgeworth:
 *OBJECTION!*

Edgeworth:
 ...This witness certainly
 sits on one of the lowest
 possible branches of humanity.

Edgeworth:
 However! He would never utter
 a lie that could hurt a girl
 with whom he is enamored!

Edgeworth:
 He drew this, so it is
 something that actually
 happened.

Edgeworth:
 The defense stands firm
 on this point.

Butz:
 Ed-Edgey!
 Thank you...!

Judge:
 ...That settles it, then.

Judge:
 I cannot give a verdict under
 these circumstances.

von Karma:
 Grrr... Grrrrrr!

Edgeworth:
 (Wright...)

Edgeworth:
 (I seem to have fulfilled my
 part in this...)

Edgeworth:
 It is just as I thought.

Edgeworth:
 Franziska von Karma...
 You make a wonderful
 partner.

von Karma:
 Excuse me...?

Edgeworth:
 There was one reason, and one
 alone, for me being here.

Edgeworth:
 To expose the darkness lurking
 in this case, and then pass it
 on to Wright!

Butz:
 R-Really? That's what this
 was all about?

Butz:
 You could have just told me
 that from the very beginning!

Butz:
 Then I wouldn't have had
 Franzy whipping me all...

Butz:
 Daaaaaayyyowch!

von Karma:
 Miles Edgeworth...

von Karma:
 I don't care about what you
 were here to do!

von Karma:
 This was my chance to finally
 grind you under my heel!

Edgeworth:
 A shame that your chance seems
 to have slipped by you.

Butz:
 What a shame,
 Franzzzyyyyyyyy!

von Karma:
 ...This is all your fault!

von Karma:
 Such a terrible witness...
 You are an affront to all
 the legal system stands for!

Butz:
 Ouuuouuuouooooouuuuuou
 ouuooououooouuuuouoouuch!

von Karma:
 I demand satisfaction!

Judge:
 ...I cannot believe that the
 witness's testimony relates to
 an actual event.

Judge:
 However, there has to be
 some sort of answer for
 the questions it raises.

Judge:
 Have his words here today
 been the truth or lies?

Judge:
 Next time we gather in
 this courtroom...

Judge:
 ...those are the matters that
 shall be addressed!

Judge:
 I am counting on thorough
 investigations by both the
 defense and the prosecution.

Edgeworth:
 (And with this...)

Edgeworth:
 (The rest is up to you...
 Wright...)

von Karma:
 ...

Judge:
 Court is now adjourned!

Intensive Care Unit

Phoenix:
 I'm still up at this hour,
 reading through the trial
 record of a certain case.

Phoenix:
 It's the first case my mentor,
 Mia, had ever handled in a
 court of law.

Phoenix:
 The horrifying truth that I
 refuse to accept is holding me
 hostage here within its pages.

Phoenix:
 Dahlia Hawthorne...

Phoenix:
 What I have read, I don't want
 to believe.

Phoenix:
 What is written here...
 This wasn't the Dahlia I knew.

Phoenix:
 After falling into the Eagle
 River, I was somehow
 miraculously saved...

Phoenix:
 But I ended up catching a
 cold that seemed to knock me
 around the world and back.

Phoenix:
 I feel dizzy, my ears are
 ringing, my throat burns,
 and my head is on fire.

Phoenix:
 But I will recover!
 I have to recover by this
 afternoon...

Phoenix:
 I have to meet with the most
 ill-tempered witness
 imaginable.

Phoenix:
 But I know that he will be
 able to help me... somehow!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9, 2:43 PM
Dusky Bridge

Edgeworth:
 Wright... Are you sure you're
 well enough to be doing this?

Edgeworth:
 You still look a little green
 in the face.

Gumshoe:
 Or maybe "viridian", in
 artist-speak.

Phoenix:
 Actually, my fever has gone
 down quite a bit.

Gumshoe:
 How's your temperature now?

Phoenix:
 Only 102.2 degrees...
 Nothing to worry about.

Phoenix:
 *cough*
 *cough* *cough* *cough*

Phoenix:
 Anyway...
 I read today's trial record.

Phoenix:
 You weren't bad, Edgeworth...
 Pretty impressive despite
 the circumstances.

Edgeworth:
 We're not in the clear yet.

Edgeworth:
 The main point of contention
 tomorrow is going to be the
 murder weapon.

Phoenix:
 Yeah...

Edgeworth:
 In the end, the Shichishito
 did not deliver the deadly
 blow.

Edgeworth:
 Which means there must be
 another sword hiding out there
 that we don't know about...

Phoenix:
 (Another sword, huh...)

Gumshoe:
 Don't you worry
 about anything, pal!

Gumshoe:
 I'll dig up the murder weapon
 myself, or I'll eat my coat!

Phoenix:
 ...Thanks again, Edgeworth.
 I'll handle things from here.

Edgeworth:
 Heh...
 That is probably for the best.

Edgeworth:
 Actually, I was thinking about
 paying the old precinct a
 little visit.

Edgeworth:
 There's something
 I want to look into...

Phoenix:
 And that is...?

Edgeworth:
 Our client's background,
 naturally.

Gumshoe:
 You mean Iris, sir...?

Edgeworth:
 I have the feeling that we've
 met before.

Phoenix:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 All I want is confirmation,
 one way or the other.

Edgeworth:
 And since I probably won't be
 getting that from you...

Phoenix:
 I'm sorry, Edgeworth...

Edgeworth:
 I bid you adieu, Wright.
 ...Take care.

Gumshoe:
 Guess I should get moving,
 too.

Phoenix:
 Why?
 Do you need to be somewhere?

Gumshoe:
 Yeah, I've gotta get to work
 on this bridge, pal.

Gumshoe:
 I'm rigging something up so
 we can get across to the
 other side.

Phoenix:
 (Ack! That's right! Maya is
 still stuck over at the Inner
 Temple...)

Gumshoe:
 But don't you worry, pal!

Gumshoe:
 As soon as it's all set,
 you'll be the first to know.

Phoenix:
 Th-Thank you, Gumshoe!
 *cough* *cough*

Phoenix:
 *cough*
 *cough* *cough*

Gumshoe:
 No problem, pal.
 Just try not to give me that
 cough of yours, OK?

Gumshoe:
 Alright, I'm off!

Phoenix:
 (Hang in there, Maya.
 We'll get you out. I promise.)

Phoenix:
 (But in the meantime... I've
 got to continue collecting
 evidence!)

+++ Cliff on the other side ++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It looks like it's about
+   20 yards to that cliff
+   over there.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But I can't see the Inner
+   Temple from here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I really hope Maya's OK...
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Wooden sign on the left side +++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's a narrow path going
+   off in a different direction
+   than that of the Main Hall.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Looks like someone's taken the
+   effort to write "To Heavenly
+   Hall" on the signpost.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That thing looks like it's
+   ready to collapse... At least
+   more than it did before.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   According to Bikini, Eagle
+   Mountain is very prone to
+   earthquakes.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Which reminds me...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   If my memory serves me
+   correctly, Edgeworth isn't
+   exactly a fan of earthquakes.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stone boulder ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Now it really is more of a
+   "Dusty Bridge" than a
+   "Dusky Bridge".
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That kidnapping incident
+   happened here 11 years ago,
+   so maybe it's cursed, too.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Red public phone +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Hazakura Temple doesn't have
+   a single private phone line...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...and there aren't any houses
+   in the area, so I guess Bikini
+   is the only one who uses this.
+
+ Phoenix:

+++ River ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This is the famous Eagle
+   River. I got to try out its
+   rough rapids the other night.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   They say it has a really
+   strong current.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   And they weren't kidding.
+   It's both powerful and
+   fast-flowing.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I was dead lucky...
+   I mean lucky not to be
+   dead!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's Dusky Bridge up there.
+   It's amazing how clearly you
+   can see it from so far away.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Larry supposedly saw
+   everything through the
+   shack's window.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Not much light gets down here,
+   so it must be pitch black at
+   night...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But this area was probably
+   illuminated that night because
+   of the burning bridge above.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stairs +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   These steps lead up to the
+   foot of Dusky Bridge.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Coming down is a cinch, but
+   going back up doesn't look
+   like a walk in the park.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I'm starting to understand why
+   rivers always want to flow
+   downstream, not up.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Flags ornament +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That stuff is really ruining
+   the beautiful atmosphere
+   around here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's so inappropriate.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Like Sister Bikini in a
+   bikini! *shudder* ...I've
+   gotta think of the kittens...
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The shack ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Look at this graffiti,
+   scrawled right on the
+   front of the shack.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   At least he managed to get
+   a pretty good likeness.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   When I really think about it,
+   I guess art kind of suits him.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I mean, his very existence is
+   an art... of sorts.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Shack's roof +++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The snow is really piled up on
+   the straw roof.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's otherworldly... Like
+   something out of a fairy tale.
+   ...Well, the roof part anyway.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The sign says,
+   "Heavenly Hall".
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess it's pretty fitting.
+   If you spent a night in this
+   little freezing shack...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...you'd probably find
+   yourself at the pearly
+   gates by morning.
+

 It'll make you famous.

Butz:
 Aaagh!

Phoenix:
 Wait a second...
 I-I know you...
 You're... Um...

Phoenix:

 need to shape up!

 to grill me over a name!?)

Butz:
 Franzy! You can't do that!

Butz:
 Even as we speak, Nick's
 on the brink of death!
 ...Or so I'm told.

von Karma:
 "Whip a dead horse!"
 Isn't that one of your
 American sayings?

Phoenix:
 No, it's not!
 And I'm not on the brink of
 anything.

Butz:
 Come on, Nick.
 Tell her, would you?

Butz:
 She must model for my picture
 book, "Franzy's Whip Lash
 Splash: Simple & Magnificent"!

Butz:
 Gaaah!

von Karma:
 Before you ask me to model,
 learn to give at least
 semi-coherent testimony.

Phoenix:
 And before that, you'll have
 to learn how to live a
 semi-coherent life, Larry.

Butz:
 ...

Butz:
 I don't care what anyone says!
 I'm telling the truth!
 I saw what I saw!

Butz:
 She flew, I'm telling you!
 Whooosh! Just like that dude
 with the red underwear!

Butz:
 Don't think I'm gonna forgive
 you guys when you come
 crawling back to apologize!

Phoenix:
 (*sigh*
 Off he goes...)

von Karma:
 Phoenix Wright, it's been a
 year since we last met. A
 pleasure to see you again.

+   Compared to the grandeur of
+   the main gate at the Von Karma
+   Estate, it's but a pet door.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It looks really idyllic with
+   all that snow on it, don't
+   you think?
+
+ von Karma:
+   All that snow? Don't make me
+   laugh. This is but a light
+   dusting where I come from.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Don't make things up just
+   because you think I'll never
+   get to see it for myself!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The Main Hall ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You can see the Main Hall
+   from here.
+
+ von Karma:
+   I wonder how the head nun
+   is holding up...?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Oh, wow. Is that an inkling of
+   human kindness I sense?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Oww!
+
+ von Karma:
+   Do you enjoy causing other
+   people pain with that sharp
+   tongue of yours?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (It's nothing compared to the
+   pain you cause with that
+   leathery whip of yours...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Bell tower +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's a quaint, little bell
+   tower.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I never would've thought
+   that something this horrible
+   was about to happen...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...when Iris rang the
+   lights out bell that night.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snowmobile +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I'd love to know what that
+   thing was used for on the
+   night of the crime.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Hah! Still thinking small I
+   see, Phoenix Wright.
+   Or perhaps, not at all.
+
+ von Karma:
+   That's why you will never
+   defeat me!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Sorry to burst your bubble,
+   but I don't recall ever losing
+   to you.
+
+ von Karma:
+   It's time for us to settle
+   this once and for all with
+   one final showdown!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Looks like she mentally
+   blocked out my victories
+   over her from her memory...)

MOVE TO: "Main Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

? ? ?:
 Hmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Phoenix:
 (...That was one long sigh!)

Phoenix:
 Umm... Sister Bikini?

Bikini:
 My my my! I didn't know you
 were here! How are you doing?
 Wa ha. Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Bikini:
 Hmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Phoenix:
 Um, you don't have to pretend
 to be in a good mood for
 my sake...

Bikini:
 I...

Bikini:
 I suppose I've made a terrible
 mess of things, haven't I?

Bikini:
 I let Mystic Elise die, and
 then there's Iris as well...

Phoenix:
 ("Mystic Elise"...?
 Now that I think about it...
 Hmm...)

Bikini:
 There's an acolyte stuck at
 the Inner Temple...

Bikini:
 ...and that poor little girl
 has gone missing, too.

Phoenix:
 That little girl...?

Phoenix:
 Y-You don't mean Pearls...
 do you?

Bikini:
 Yes, I'm afraid I do!

Bikini:
 She hasn't been seen since the
 morning after the incident.

Phoenix:
 Pearls? She's missing!?
 (Why didn't someone tell me
 about this earlier!?)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Stuff on the floor +++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I've only seen a layout like
+   this when I saw this really
+   old Japanese movie on TV.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Wow! This hibachi brazier
+   really puts out a lot of heat!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Just thinking about how happy
+   we were, sitting here eating
+   pot roast and gravy... *sigh*

>>> Inner Temple >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>
> Bikini:

>
> Phoenix:
>   It's like an island?

>
> Bikini:

> Phoenix:
>   I-I see...
>
> Bikini:
>   So a criminal would be

>
> Bikini:
>   And as long as the bridge is

>
> Phoenix:

>
> Phoenix:

> Phoenix:

> Bikini:

> Bikini:

PRESENT (TO BIKINI)
-------------------

*** "Oh! Cult!" New Year's Issue ***********
*
* Phoenix:
*   Um, about this picture...
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh, that old thing!
*
* Bikini:
*   I always turned those
*   reporter-types away in
*   the past.
*
* Bikini:
*   But Iris was so insistent
*   this time.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Iris?
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh, yes! Iris loves to be the
*   center of attention, you know.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Really? I find that kinda
*   hard to believe...)
*
********************************************

*** Hanging Scroll *************************
*
* Bikini:
*   Huh... Ahh!
*   Well, well, well...
*   Look what you've found!
*
* Bikini:
*   That's the Master of the
*   Kurain Channeling Technique,
*   Mystic Misty Fey!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (So this woman is Maya's
*   mother, huh...)
*
* Bikini:
*   It's been nearly 20 years
*   since Mystic Misty
*   disappeared.
*
* Bikini:
*   Apparently, she intended to
*   pass the torch on to her
*   daughter.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Her daughter? Don't you know
*   who her daughter is?
*
* Bikini:
*   Well, I myself am part
*   of a branch family of
*   the Fey clan.
*
* Bikini:
*   But even I am not privy to
*   that kind of information when
*   it concerns the main family...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Hmm, Bikini doesn't seem to
*   know Maya's standing within
*   the Fey family...)
*
********************************************

*** Iris's Hood ****************************
*
* Bikini:
*   Well, well, well!
*   That's a Demon-Warding Hood!
*
* Bikini:
*   Acolytes are highly
*   susceptible to possession
*   by evil spirits, you know.
*
* Bikini:
*   That's why we always wear
*   these for protection.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Iris gave this to me on
*   the night of the murder.
*
* Phoenix:
*   But then I went and fell into
*   the river and got this nasty
*   fever...
*
* Phoenix:
*   I thought maybe if I were to
*   wear this hood, it'd make my
*   fever go down faster!
*
* Bikini:
*   ...
*
* Bikini:
*   I don't think so. Colds and
*   spirit power have nothing to
*   do with each other.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Way to crush a man's hope.)
*
********************************************

*** Shichishito ****************************
*
* Bikini:
*   Maybe my eyes were playing
*   tricks on me.
*
* Bikini:
*   I mean, Iris could never do
*   such a wicked thing.
*
* Phoenix:
*   But they proved it in court
*   today, didn't they?
*
* Phoenix:
*   That this sword wasn't the
*   murder weapon.
*
* Bikini:
*   That's what they were saying,
*   yes.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (The problem is, I saw it,
*   too...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I'm sure that what I saw was
*   this blade stabbed into
*   Ms. Deauxnim's body.)
*
********************************************

*** Victim's Staff *************************
*
* Bikini:
*   Ah, it's Mystic Elise's staff.
*
* Bikini:
*   Hmm... The crystal sphere
*   really is missing from it.
*
* Phoenix:
*   But the sphere was found near
*   Dusky Bridge, right?
*
* Bikini:
*   Yes. Even though I'm sure
*   Mystic Elise was in Hazakura
*   Temple that entire evening.
*
********************************************

*** Tracks Photo ***************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   About this photograph...
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh, yes. Those are our
*   snowmobile's tracks, alright.
*   I'd know them anywhere!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But there's only one set...
*   Which means...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (...the rider went out while
*   it was still snowing, and came
*   back after it had stopped.)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (That's really the only
*   logical explanation,
*   I suppose.)
*
********************************************

*** Larry's Sketch *************************
*
* Bikini:
*   Honestly!
*   It's like the end of the
*   world.
*
* Phoenix:
*   It's not a good thing,
*   that's for sure.
*
* Bikini:
*   To think people have the
*   gall to call this kind of
*   scribbling by the name of art!
*
* Phoenix:
*   Huh?
*
* Bikini:
*   If that's the sort of standard
*   you need for the arts these
*   days, I could be a pop diva!
*
* Phoenix:
*   Um, sure. But what about the
*   contents of the picture? What
*   do you make of that?
*
* Bikini:
*   ...
*
* Bikini:
*   It's definitely the end of
*   the world.
*
********************************************

*** Crystal Sphere *************************
*
* Bikini:
*   This crystal sphere...
*
* Bikini:
*   It's not from a Demon-Warding
*   Hood, but I would guess it
*   serves a similar purpose.
*
* Phoenix:
*   If it's not from a hood, then
*   I guess it really is from
*   Ms. Deauxnim's staff.
*
* Bikini:
*   Look at the blood on it.
*   Oh, poor Mystic Elise...
*
********************************************

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Bikini:
*   She's a very important
*   visitor, you know!
*   An honored acolyte!
*
* Phoenix:
*   She is?
*   Do you know her or
*   something?
*
* Bikini:
*   The Fey name is synonymous
*   with the Kurain Channeling
*   Technique.
*
* Bikini:
*   Therefore, she must be a
*   spirit medium of great power
*   indeed.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Looks like Bikini is in
*   the dark.)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (She doesn't seem to know
*   that Maya is the daughter of
*   the Master of Kurain.)
*
********************************************

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh dear. I wonder where on
*   Earth this little girl has
*   wandered off to?
*
* Bikini:
*   She's nowhere near the
*   Main Hall. That's for sure.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (First I lost Maya, and now
*   Pearls...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (How much more pain is this
*   case going to cause me!?)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Urgh... Not to mention this
*   fever is giving me a killer
*   migraine...)
*
********************************************

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Bikini:
*   It's all my fault, isn't it?
*   It's all my achy back's fault.
*
* Bikini:
*   Now Mystic Elise is dead, and
*   an acolyte is trapped inside
*   the Inner Temple...
*
* Bikini:
*   ...and that poor little girl
*   has gone missing, too.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ("Missing"...? I hope that's
*   all it is...)
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh dear, oh dear. I've got
*   to train to withstand more
*   pain, don't I...?
*
********************************************

*** Elise Deauxnim profile *****************
*
* Bikini:
*   How... How can I ever
*   make up for this...?

*
* Bikini:
*   For allowing harm to come to

MOVE TO: "Courtyard"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Hazakura Temple
Courtyard

Phoenix:
 (This is where Sister Bikini
 witnessed the incident.)

Phoenix:
 (It's hard to imagine she
 was lying on the stand, so...)

Phoenix:
 (...maybe there are some
 clues that have yet to be
 found.)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Lantern on the left ++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There are a few of these stone
+   lanterns scattered around in
+   this courtyard.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Without the city glare to
+   compete with, I imagine they
+   would seem a lot brighter.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess Sister Bikini must
+   light them now, since Iris
+   can't be here.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The staff on the snow ++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Ms. Deauxnim's staff...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I definitely remember there
+   being a crystal sphere
+   attached to the staff.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess Larry eventually found
+   the sphere near the foot of
+   Dusky Bridge, but...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...what was it doing all the
+   way out there...?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ami Fey statue +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The Shichishito.
+   It's there in Mystic Ami's
+   right hand.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But it was proven in court
+   today that it wasn't the
+   murder weapon.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Given the design, it must've
+   been used for some pretty
+   gruesome things in the past...
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Stone wall +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The Main Gate's on the other
+   side of that stone wall.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The difference in elevation
+   is almost 10 feet. That's how
+   steep this hillside is!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   And that's also the height
+   the body fell from, according
+   to the autopsy.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Is it possible that
+   Ms. Deauxnim was pushed
+   from the top of the wall...?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Top right corner +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That building up there is
+   the Main Hall. It was where
+   we were staying.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It sits kind of funny because
+   it was built on a very steep
+   slope.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   If you enter from the Main
+   Gate side, these rooms above
+   me are on the ground floor.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Apparently, Ms. Deauxnim was
+   staying in the corner room.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess that's where she was
+   pushed from that night...
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ski apparatus ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   They get quite a bit of snow
+   up here on Eagle Mountain.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Around here, skis aren't just
+   for fun. They're tools for
+   getting around.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But the sled... Now that's
+   gotta be for Bikini's own
+   personal entertainment!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Main Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

? ? ?:
 Heeeeeeeeeey!

Bikini:
 Wh-What was that jarring,
 inconsiderately loud yell...?

Gumshoe:
 So this is where you've been!
 Keeping nice and warm, I see!

Phoenix:
 Detective!
 H-Have you finished repair--

Gumshoe:
 The bridge!? Yeah, I did!
 I told you I'd let you know!

Bikini:
 Well well well! Then I'll come
 along with you and...

Gumshoe:
 Sorry, ma'am! No unauthorized
 entry. Access is restricted to
 people involved in the case.

Bikini:
 What was that!?

Bikini:
 I'm involved, aren't I? You
 couldn't get much more
 involved than me!

Gumshoe:
 Well yeah, but that's not what
 I mea--

Gumshoe:
 Aaah!

von Karma:
 It's been a while, Scruffy...

Gumshoe:
 Y-You're...!

Gumshoe:
 Ms. v-v-v-v-v-v-

Gumshoe:
 Von Karmaaaaaaah!

von Karma:
 Sister. Please, leave
 the investigation to me.

Bikini:
 My my my.
 Well, you certainly seem to
 have everything under control!

von Karma:
 I am on your side.
 I won't do anything you
 don't want me to.

Phoenix:
 (...As you work to pin the
 guilt on Iris.)

von Karma:
 What are you daydreaming
 about, Phoenix Wright!?

Phoenix:
 OWW!
 That hurts, you know!

von Karma:
 Silence!

von Karma:
 I, Franziska von Karma, will
 personally guide you through
 your investigation.

von Karma:
 So you will follow me!

Phoenix:
 (...She's not seriously
 going to follow me around,
 is she...?)

MOVE TO: "Inner Temple Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Inner Temple Gate

Phoenix:
 Things have certainly become
 a lot livelier than before.

von Karma:
 They must have commenced
 with the investigation.

? ? ?:
 Oh!
 ...Mr. Nick!

Phoenix:
 (Th-That voice...)

Phoenix:
 Pearls!

Pearl:
 ...Mr. Nick...
 Mr. Niiick!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 So you were here...
 ever since that night...

Pearl:
 I was so lonely, I thought I
 was going to die!

Pearl:
 When I woke up in the morning
 and saw that Dusky Bridge
 was gone...

Pearl:
 I...
 I realized I was all alone.

Phoenix:
 (She was all alone...?)

von Karma:
 It must have been very trying
 for you, little girl.

Pearl:
 Ah!
 You're...

von Karma:
 I am Franziska von Karma,
 the Prodigy. There's no need
 to worry now that I'm here.

Pearl:
 You're the prosecutor who was
 so mean to Mystic Maya last
 year.

von Karma:
 Well...

Pearl:
 I... I don't like you.
 You're nothing but a little
 girl without your whip!

von Karma:
 ...!

Pearl:
 Mystic Maya didn't do anything
 wrong, but you were so mean!
 I'll never forgive you!

von Karma:
 I...
 I...!

Phoenix:
 (It looks like Pearls's words
 are getting under her skin...)

von Karma:
 ............

Phoenix:
 Yeowwww!
 Why are you whipping me!?
 I didn't even say anything!

von Karma:
 You didn't have to. The
 smile on your lips gave
 you away!

Phoenix:
 A-Anyway...
 Pearls...?

Phoenix:
 Weren't you with Maya?

Pearl:
 Ah!

Pearl:
 ...

Pearl:
 I'm sorry!
 It's... It's all my fault!

Phoenix:
 Huh!? What are you talking
 about, Pearls?

Pearl:
 I...
 I...

Pearl:
 Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
 Mystic Mayaaaaaaa!

Phoenix:
 Hey, wait! Pearls!
 (She just ran off!)

Phoenix:
 Oww!

von Karma:
 That was cruel, Phoenix
 Wright. To make a little girl
 cry like that is inexcusable!

Phoenix:
 (What was that all about?
 Pearls acting like that...
 It's giving me the creeps.)

Phoenix:
 (I guess I'd better take
 another look around since
 I've finally got a chance!)

Phoenix:
 (Especially since something
 about this place seems
 different from two days ago.)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You can see Dusky Bridge from
+   here. It's an unusually long
+   bridge, isn't it?
+</pre><pre id="faqspan-16">
+ von Karma:
+   I would say it's about
+   20 yards.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess the gorge is too wide
+   to cross with a piece of rope
+   or wire, huh?
+
+ von Karma:
+   Therefore, no one has crossed
+   the gorge in either direction
+   since the night of the murder.
+
+ von Karma:
+   A simple, yet sound deduction,
+   wouldn't you say, Phoenix
+   Wright?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Metal hook +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ von Karma:
+   Phoenix Wright!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   What!? And would you stop
+   calling me by my full name
+   like that?
+
+ von Karma:
+   Was this once a prosperous
+   port?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   A port...?
+
+ von Karma:
+   Yes. That metal hook is a
+   mooring post for boats,
+   you know.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Oh, that. That's an anchor
+   for one of the wires that used
+   to hold up the bridge.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I think the wire that was tied
+   to this one probably snapped
+   when the bridge burned down.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I mean, there's no way there
+   was ever a port all the way up
+   here...)
+
+ von Karma:
+   Don't get smart with me,
+   Phoenix Wright!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But I didn't say anything!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Buddha statues +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Look at all the Buddha statues
+   lined up along this path.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Phoenix Wright...
+
+ von Karma:
+   Do you think this is how many
+   siblings the head nun has?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Why don't you ask her the
+   next time you see her?
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...You know what?
+   I think I will.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (And she'll probably slap you
+   for prying into her private
+   affairs.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Incinerator ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (There's a weird smell coming
+   from that incinerator.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (The door is also open, almost
+   like it's begging me to look
+   inside...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Well, well. Let's see what
+   stunning clue is concealed
+   in here, shall we?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Huh? It's empty!
+
+ von Karma:
+   How naïve of you,
+   Phoenix Wright.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But it's a bit strange, don't
+   you think?
+   ...Franziska von Karma?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I seem to remember...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (...there was snow on this
+   incinerator the first time I
+   saw it.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (In other words, someone's
+   been using it to burn
+   something recently...)
+
+ von Karma:
+   Listen, Phoenix Wright!
+
+ von Karma:
+   It's impertinent to call
+   people by their full name!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I was only copying you.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Yellow gate ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's a little gate that
+   leads into the garden.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It says "No Entry" on the
+   sign, though.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Come now, Phoenix Wright!
+   What are you doing? Let's
+   go in.
+
+ von Karma:
+   It's half open anyway.
+   What harm could come of it?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But it says, "No Entry".
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...
+
+ von Karma:
+   Don't you Americans enjoy
+   doing whatever you like and
+   then simply say, "Whatever!?"
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's got nothing to do with
+   anything!
+   (And who told you that!?)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Wooden log on left with sign +++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   The sign says "Inner Temple".
+
+ von Karma:
+   I don't know how you're
+   reading it, but it's illegible
+   to me.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Actually, I can't read it
+   either.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Feigning comprehension isn't
+   a very good habit to have,
+   Phoenix Wright.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (She looks really happy to
+   have finally caught me on
+   something...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ von Karma:
+   This must be the door that
+   leads to the Inner Temple.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Where Maya Fey was training
+   on the night of the murder...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Yes. There's a solitary room
+   there called the Training
+   Hall.
+
+ von Karma:
+   You could do with some
+   training yourself, Phoenix
+   Wright!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+   YEOWWW!
+
+ von Karma:
+   You're completely out of
+   shape.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Nngh... I don't know how
+   much more of this woman
+   I can take!)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Training Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Inner Temple
Training Hall

Phoenix:
 ...

von Karma:
 What's wrong?
 Why are you so quiet?

Phoenix:
 Maya... She was supposed to
 be in here training.

von Karma:
 Yet, it appears she's nowhere
 to be seen.

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 (What's that...?
 That strange lock...?)

Phoenix:
 (It wasn't there two days
 ago.)

Phoenix:
 (This whole room is really
 giving off some strange
 vibes...)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Dresser drawers ++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's an antique dresser.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Don't you dare open it,
+   Phoenix Wright!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Now I know how Maya feels
+   when I tell her not to touch
+   things...)
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...
+
+ von Karma:
+   What a pity. It's full of
+   nothing but old clothes for
+   the acolytes.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I thought we weren't opening
+   it!
+
+ von Karma:
+   I'm from the Prosecutor's
+   Office. I can do anything.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Yeah, you can do anything...
+   Except stand up to a 9 year
+   old girl.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Sacred cavern entrance +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Hmm... This door...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   When I was here two days ago,
+   that weird lock wasn't on it.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Those chains... It's almost as
+   if they're guarding something
+   inside that cavern.
+
+ von Karma:
+   I've never seen a lock quite
+   like this before.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I have. I've seen locks and
+   chains just like this before.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (They look just like the ones
+   that guard a person's secrets
+   during a Psyche-Lock.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I wonder if this lock is
+   guarding something, too.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Dark secrets in a dark
+   cavern...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Hanging scroll +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ von Karma:
+   What do you think this
+   yellowish poster is, Phoenix
+   Wright?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's a scroll, not a poster.
+   It's a picture of a woman
+   who's actually...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ von Karma:
+   A woman? I don't see any
+   woman here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (There's a different
+   atmosphere in this room since
+   the last time I was here.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (No... It's not a different
+   atmosphere, it's a different
+   smell!)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's gravy!
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...What's the matter?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This scroll... It's been
+   completely covered in gravy!
+
+ von Karma:
+   Ah. Yes. There is a very
+   appetizing smell in the air.
+
+ von Karma:
+   But gravy is a type of sauce.
+
+ von Karma:
+   So when you run out of paint,
+   you Americans use gravy
+   as a substitute, I see.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   No! No one does that!
+   For starters, it stinks!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (This must be the gravy that
+   we had with the roast on the
+   night of the incident.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (But why would anyone do this?
+   Why this scroll?)
+
+ *Hanging Scroll updated.
+ Touch to see before and after
+ view under the Check screen.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Hanging scroll (again) +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (This scroll shows a picture
+   of Misty Fey, Master of the
+   Kurain Channeling Technique.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (But why would anyone cover it
+   in gravy?)
+
+ von Karma:
+   I can't make out what's drawn
+   on this scroll at all.
+
+ von Karma:
+   I'll never understand you
+   Americans and your so-called
+   artists...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Artists? Um, yeah...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

--------------------------------------------

*AFTER EXAMINING THE LOCK AND HANGING SCROLL*

? ? ?:
 What took you so long?

? ? ?:
 I thought even you'd manage
 to get here faster than this,
 Mr. Trite.

Phoenix:
 P-Prosecutor Godot!
 I didn't know you were here.

von Karma:
 Prosecutor?

Phoenix:
 How come you didn't show up
 at the trial today?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 I could ask you the exact
 same question.

Phoenix:
 Huh? But I was...
 I had a cold, so...

Godot:
 I had something slightly more
 important than a common cold
 to deal with.

Godot:
 The importance of which is
 something you have no hope
 of ever understanding.

von Karma:
 Enough! I believe I have the
 measure of you.

von Karma:
 You are the very worst kind of
 prosecutor. What could be more
 important than a trial?

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 Who's the wild mare, Trite?

Phoenix:
 This is Ms. von Karma. She
 was the acting prosecutor
 in your absence today.

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Well, I guess I owe you one
 then.

Godot:
 But you can go now, princess.
 It's time for the big boys
 to take the reins.

von Karma:
 Just who do you think you
 are!? This case is my...

Godot:
 Hey, Filly. Know your
 role, and shut your mouth.
 I can't stand women like you.

Godot:
 I'm only going to say this
 once, Lady von Whippingberg.
 Go home!

von Karma:
 ...

von Karma:
 Phoeeenix Wriiight!

Phoenix:
 Wh-What are you hitting me
 for!?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 You deserve more cracks of
 the whip than that, Trite.

Phoenix:
 Wh-What!?

Godot:
 You still don't get it, do
 you?

Godot:
 You don't realize that you've
 set something in motion that
 you'll never be able to undo.

Phoenix:
 (There's something different
 about Godot today...)

Phoenix:
 (I'm getting such a strong
 sense of... something from
 behind that mask of his.)

Phoenix:
 (Is it anger?
 Or...)

Phoenix:
 (Is it... sorrow?)

PRESENT (TO GODOT)
------------------

*** Anything *******************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   Um, Godot... Would you mind
*   taking a look at this?
*
* Godot:
*   Ha...! My eyes have a date
*   with the horizon. They're
*   flirting with the gulls.
*
* Godot:
*   I don't have any intention of
*   aiding a defense attorney like
*   you, Trite.
*
* von Karma:
*   But you must help him!
*   Even just a little!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Look who's talking!)
*
* von Karma:
*   I had no idea such a smooth
*   refusal could make me so
*   angry!
*
********************************************

--------------------------------------------

*AFTER TALKING TO GODOT*

Godot:
 ...
 So.

Godot:
 I should be getting back to
 work.

Phoenix:
 Wait, Godot!

Phoenix:
 How sure about Maya are you?

Godot:
 ...
 There's no doubt in my mind.

Godot:
 She's in the Sacred Cavern
 somewhere. It's the only place
 she could be.

Phoenix:
 ...

Godot:
 You'd better start praying.

Godot:
 You'd better pray that friend
 of yours brings the accused
 back here soon.

Phoenix:
 (Edgeworth?)

Godot:
 Listen up, Trite.
 There's only one thing I want
 to say to you before I go.

Godot:
 I'll never accept you.
 Never.

Phoenix:
 ...!

--------------------------------------------

von Karma:
 You should choose your friends
 more carefully, Phoenix
 Wright.

Phoenix:
 That's what everyone says.

Phoenix:
 (It looks like I don't have
 much of a choice...)

Phoenix:
 (I guess I'll just have to do
 what I can for now.)

MOVE TO: "Inner Temple Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

? ? ?:
 ...

? ? ?:
 I dunno...
 Should I... Or shouldn't I...?

Phoenix:
 (Sound like someone's talking
 to himself, but where's that
 coming from?)

Gumshoe:
 Yeah. I guess I better wash
 that off. That's what I'll do.

Gumshoe:
 No, but I can't do that.
 I'm a detective...

Gumshoe:
 ...Argh! My brain!
 This is driving me nuts!

Gumshoe:
 Aaaah!

von Karma:
 Is something troubling you,
 Scruffy?

Gumshoe:
 P-Please don't whip me
 like that all of a sudden,
 sir!

von Karma:
 It was merely a simple
 greeting. A friendly tap on
 the shoulder... with my whip.

Phoenix:
 So what's up, Gumshoe?
 Is something on your mind?

Gumshoe:
 H-H-How did you know, pal!?

von Karma:
 Perhaps you were trying to
 decided if you wanted to wash
 "that" off or not...?

Gumshoe:
 H-H-How did you know, sir!?

Gumshoe:
 Oh! Yeah!
 I nearly forgot.

Gumshoe:
 You can't go through that
 little gate there, OK?

Phoenix:
 Um... You mean the one that
 says "No Entry" on it?

Gumshoe:
 ...

Gumshoe:
 I... um... kinda already snuck
 in there!

Phoenix:
 (Is he trying to be clever
 or something...?)

von Karma:
 So what's behind there,
 Scruffy?

Gumshoe:
 Huh? A kind of... garden-like
 garden.

Phoenix:
 A garden?

Gumshoe:
 Yeah. Anyway, it's under
 investigation right now, so
 keep out!

Gumshoe:
 I'm not telling you, I'm
 asking you, pal! You got me?

Phoenix:
 (Isn't it normally the other
 way around?)

Gumshoe:
 Well, see you later!

--------------------------------------------

von Karma:
 So... shall we adjourn to this
 garden, Phoenix Wright?

Phoenix:
 (Of course! What else would
 we do?)

Phoenix:
 (I really want to know what
 Gumshoe was thinking of
 washing off!)

MOVE TO: "Garden"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Inner Temple
Garden

Phoenix:
 ...

von Karma:
 There's a strange feeling in
 the air. I wonder what it
 is...

Phoenix:
 (Strange feeling?
 Forget about that!)

Phoenix:
 (What's that strange writing
 on the stone lantern?)

Gumshoe:
 Aaah!

Gumshoe:
 What are you doing here, sir!?
 I thought I said you can't
 come in here!

von Karma:
 Don't you know, Scruffy?
 A Von Karma will always show
 up wherever there is a clue!

von Karma:
 And there are plenty of clues
 to be found here.

Gumshoe:
 B-But...

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Bottom left area +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   A little lantern, a little
+   statue...
+
+ von Karma:
+   It is certainly a quaint
+   little garden.
+   Oh!
+
+ von Karma:
+   What is this huge bowl here
+   for?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh, I know this one! It's...
+   um... It's a ...water bowl,
+   isn't it?
+
+ von Karma:
+   Everything else is completely
+   frozen over...
+
+ von Karma:
+   But the ice in this bowl has
+   been broken.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's true...
+   (I wonder if this has any
+   impact on the case...?)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Umm... Well...
+   I, uh...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I doused my face earlier with
+   the water in this.
+   I was getting kinda sleepy...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Gaaargh!
+
+ von Karma:
+   Next time you're sleepy, you
+   need only come to me! Got it!?
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Red thing on the snow ++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's a charm or something
+   poking out from the snow.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (It looks pretty old.
+   There's a leather cord
+   tied to it, too.)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Apparently, it belonged to the
+   victim.
+
+ von Karma:
+   To Ms. Elise Deauxnim?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah. There was a broken
+   leather cord around the lady's
+   neck.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   The ends of the cords found
+   on both the victim and on
+   this charm match exactly.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (This means that this charm
+   definitely belonged to
+   Ms. Deauxnim.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (This could be a really
+   vital piece of evidence.)
+
+ *Kurain Master's Talisman
+ added to the Court Record.*
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Any torch (or their stands) ++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There are a couple of
+   torches here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess you need all the light
+   you can get up here in the
+   mountains.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah. I was looking at those
+   things, pal.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It looks like they've been lit
+   pretty recently.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Recently?
+   How recent are we talking
+   about?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   As recent as the night of
+   the murder...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Maya was training here on
+   the night of the murder...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (It's not unreasonable to
+   think these things were lit
+   up at the time, I guess.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ground surrounding the stone lantern +++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...Well, this is odd.
+   There's no snow on the ground
+   here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   And it's an almost perfect
+   rectangle. It couldn't have
+   happened naturally.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Yes. It appears as though
+   someone has carefully cleared
+   away the snow.
+
+ von Karma:
+   No doubt it was you, wasn't
+   it, Scruffy!?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Huh? No, it wasn't me, sir!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It was already like that when
+   my men and I got here to
+   start the investigation.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (If it wasn't the police, then
+   who did it...?)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh, yeah. There's something I
+   need to tell you. Just between
+   the three of us, OK?
+
+ von Karma:
+   What is it?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It's top secret.
+   You can't tell anyone, got it?
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...Understood.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Well, when I was a kid, I got
+   knocked out of the local
+   wrestling contest, you see.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I was so disappointed, I just
+   picked up my mouth guard and
+   cried all the way home.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Man, I got in so much trouble
+   when I left it on the couch!
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...Is that it?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That's it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Gaaargh!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Whoever cleared the snow away
+   must have had a reason...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Although I can't even begin
+   to imagine what that reason
+   could be.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The stone lantern ++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   What the heck is that!?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Uh-oh...
+   You spotted it, huh, pal?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Are you kidding me!?
+   It couldn't be more obvious!
+
+ von Karma:
+   It says... "Maya"...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah. And before you ask,
+   it's written in blood...
+
+ von Karma:
+   You will answer all our
+   questions now, Scruffy!
+   Without exception!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Y-Yes, sir!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*** Magatama *******************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Hey, that looks good.
*   Is it a cough drop?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I tell you, pal. I've had a
*   sore throat all day.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Ack! No!
*   That's my Magatama!
*   You can't eat it!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (At least he doesn't just put
*   stuff in his mouth first and
*   ask questions later anymore.)
*
********************************************

*** Hanging Scroll *************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   Do you know anything about
*   this scroll, Detective?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Well, I know it smells great!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, this is just the kind of
*   weather for some steaming
*   mashed potatoes and gravy.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I really love that stuff.
*   I eat it so much that my
*   coat even smel--
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Aaah!
*
* von Karma:
*   Have you nothing else to say
*   about this than your inane

*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*   N-Not really.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...Let's leave it at that, OK?

*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She sure was a mysterious
*   person.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Her real name, her past...
*   It's all a complete mystery.
*
* von Karma:
*   Still, it strikes me as odd...
*
* von Karma:
*   Why would someone who
*   wishes to remain anonymous
*   become an author?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   You know what probably
*   happened?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I bet she didn't know her
*   books were gonna be such a
*   success. That's what I think.
*
********************************************

*** Shichishito ****************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I didn't follow the ins and
*   outs of it, but...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...it turned out that this
*   wasn't the murder weapon,
*   right?
*
* Phoenix:
*   If what Sister Bikini saw is
*   right, then no, it's not.
*
* Phoenix:
*   She said the murder weapon was
*   thrust into the victim up to
*   the hilt.
*
* Phoenix:
*   But the blood stains on this
*   aren't consistent with her
*   story.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Don't worry, pal! I'll
*   uncover the real murder
*   weapon.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   If I haven't turned it up by
*   Spring, you can take my badge!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (The case will be long over
*   by then, Gumshoe!)
*
********************************************

*** Victim's Staff *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That staff belonged to the
*   victim.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yeah, and apart from the
*   crystal missing from the top,
*   there's nothing wrong with it.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh, I just remembered
*   something important! This
*   is just between us, OK?
*
* von Karma:
*   Is it going to have anything
*   to do with the case,
*   Detective?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Well, no. But it's really...
*
* von Karma:
*   Then I'm not interested.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yes, sir.
*
********************************************

*** Crime Photo ****************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   What do you make of this
*   photo of the crime scene...?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   It's really gruesome... All I
*   gotta say is that the killer
*   is messed up in the head.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   But it turns out that
*   Shichishito thing wasn't
*   even the murder weapon.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   So then, why would someone
*   stab it in the victim like
*   that?
*
* Phoenix:
*   (That's the mystery we're
*   here to solve...)
*

*** Larry's Sketch *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   It was like a circus today
*   in court.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   All thanks to this little
*   sketch.
*
* von Karma:
*   At the risk of repeating
*   myself...
*
* von Karma:
*   ...you really ought to choose
*   your friends more carefully,
*   Phoenix Wright.
*
* Phoenix:
*   OK, I know Larry's a bit
*   out there...
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...but he genuinely wants to
*   help Iris. I'm sure of that.
*
* Phoenix:
*   He wouldn't have produced
*   this for no good reason.
*
* von Karma:
*   You are nothing more than a
*   marshmallow on the inside.
*   The both of you.

********************************************

*** Crystal Sphere *************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   This was found close to Dusky
*   Bridge, wasn't it?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That's what that artist guy
*   said, yeah.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Right after the defendant flew
*   over the burning bridge!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   According to his testimony,
*   she dropped it when she landed
*   on the other side.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But this crystal didn't
*   belong to Iris.)
*
* von Karma:
*   The crystal had dropped
*   out of Ms. Elise Deauxnim's
*   staff.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   And there are traces of blood
*   on it, too.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (The real question is what was
*   it doing near the foot of
*   Dusky Bridge...?)
*
********************************************

*** Kurain Master's Talisman ***************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That thing must've been worn
*   by the victim. There's no
*   other way of looking at it.
*
* Phoenix:
*   You mean, because of the
*   matching leather cord found
*   around the victim's neck?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah. I bet it was one of
*   those things she always wore.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I've got this safe driving
*   charm I've been wearing for
*   over a year now.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   If I ever get into an
*   accident, it guarantees it'll
*   be the other guy's fault.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Isn't it supposed to stop
*   you from having an accident
*   in the first place?)

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   The situation hasn't changed.
*   We still don't know anything
*   about Maya's whereabouts.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She's gotta be in the Sacred
*   Cavern, though. That's the
*   only place left.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I heard it's real cold in
*   there. We've gotta get her out
*   fast, or it could be bad, pal.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Isn't there anything you can
*   do, Detective!?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   What are you talking about!?
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...Huh?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   We're already on it! You
*   couldn't get a faster response
*   from a computer.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Mr. Godot put everything in
*   place right away. That guy
*   doesn't mess around.
*
* Phoenix:
*   G-Godot?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah. The coffee-drinking
*   mystery man who didn't show
*   in court.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I gotta say. He's totally made
*   me rethink my perception of
*   him, pal.
*

*** Mia Fey profile ************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She cross-examined me once,
*   you know.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah. That was us. The big
*   guns locking horns.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Witness versus lawyer!
*   It was a battle of cunning
*   tactics and tricks.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But the witness isn't
*   supposed to play any
*   tricks...)
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I can't believe she's gone...

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Apparently, the girl was
*   trapped over here since the
*   night of the murder.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Did she say anything to you
*   about Maya?
*
* Phoenix:
*   She wouldn't tell me...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She's not gonna tell me
*   something if she wouldn't even
*   speak to you, pal.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She was real upset. She
*   wouldn't stop crying.
*
* von Karma:
*   Phoenix Wright!
*   Look sharp and go comfort that

*
* Phoenix:
*   I will... Trust me, I will...

*
* Phoenix:
*   Yeah, I know.
*   Trust me I already know.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I can't believe he skipped the
*   trial like that, without even
*   getting permission.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   He'd have been fired for sure
*   if he worked for a normal
*   company.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Hmm... Never would've
*   expected the Prosecutor's
*   Office to be so lax...)
*
* von Karma:
*   Don't get the wrong
*   impression, Phoenix Wright.
*   More importantly...
*
* von Karma:
*   Doesn't it strike you as odd
*   that the police are unaware of
*   that man's medical situation?
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* Godot:
*   Of course, being extradited
*   from Hell is a tedious
*   affair.
*
* Godot:
*   The meticulous regeneration
*   and adjustment of all your
*   internal organs is...
*
* Godot:
*   Well... Let's just say modern
*   medicine allows us all to live
*   to a ripe old age.
*
* Godot:
*   Even someone like me.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yeah. Why is he hiding that
*   from everyone?
*
* von Karma:
*   Additionally it raises
*   another question...
*
* von Karma:
*   Why did he choose to tell
*   only you?
*
* Phoenix:

von Karma:
 It seems you have a visitor.

Iris:
 Mr. Wright!

Phoenix:
 Iris!
 I'm really glad to see you!

Edgeworth:
 Godot managed to mobilize
 the police by claiming a state
 of emergency.

von Karma:
 Not him again.

Phoenix:
 Never mind him! We've gotta
 hurry and unlock the Sacred
 Cavern...

Iris:
 I'm sorry, Mr. Wright! It's my
 fault someone so important
 to you is locked in there...

Iris:
 Mr. Edgeworth. Can we
 finish our conversation later?

Edgeworth:
 ...Alright.

Edgeworth:
 Let's hurry to the Inner
 Temple then.
 ...I'll see you later, Wright.

Phoenix:
 *HOLD IT!*

Phoenix:
 Wait, Edgeworth!
 I'm coming with you guys!

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 Sorry, Wright.
 I can't allow you to come
 with us.

Phoenix:
 What!?

Edgeworth:
 I hate to be the one to break
 it to you, but...

Edgeworth:
 ...Maya Fey is in a rather...
 delicate position.

Phoenix:
 What do you mean by a
 delicate position...?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 This isn't simply a rescue
 operation, Wright. It's also
 an investigation.

Edgeworth:
 That being the case... we
 can't allow members of the
 public to interfere.

Phoenix:
 C-Come on, Edgeworth...

Edgeworth:
 If anything happens, you'll be
 the first to know.
 ...Please understand, Wright.

Phoenix:
 But it's Maya!

Iris:
 Mr. Wright!

Iris:
 All that matters is that
 Mystic Maya is rescued,
 correct?

Phoenix:
 I...

von Karma:
 Listen to the voice of reason
 for a change, Phoenix Wright.

Edgeworth:
 From now on, consider anything
 beyond Dusky Bridge to be off
 limits.

Edgeworth:
 We'll be going now...
 Excuse us.

 Wa ha. Wa ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Bikini:
 Hmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

Phoenix:

 down.)

Bikini:
 Iris was just here, you know.
 She was accompanied by that
 handsome, crimson-clad prince!

Phoenix:
 (Is she talking about

Bikini:
 It was just a courtesy call.
 I wasn't allowed to talk with

Bikini:
 Oh dear. It's all my fault

Bikini:
 Poor Iris. She was worried
 about my back, would you
 believe?

Bikini:
 What have I done to her...?

von Karma:
 Only what you had to do,
 Sister.

von Karma:
 You bravely and truthfully
 testified about what you saw.
 There's no shame in that.

 And we'll see to it that your

 ...

Phoenix:
 Sister Bikini. The truth is

 clear to me.

Phoenix:
 I'm convinced that Ms. Elise
 Deauxnim had a special
 significance to this temple.

Phoenix:
 As to why she had a special
 significance, I believe it has
 to do with her true identity.

Bikini:
 What on Earth are you
 talking about?
 She... She was...

Bikini:
 M-Mystic Elise was an author.
 Just an author... of picture
 books.

Phoenix:
 To be honest...

Phoenix:
 I had my suspicions almost
 immediately after I met her.

Bikini:
 S-Suspicions?

Phoenix:
 Yes. But I didn't have any
 evidence to support my theory,
 though.

Phoenix:
 But now I do. This piece of

*Present Hanging Scroll*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 The painting is obscured by
 this gravy stain at the
 moment...

Bikini:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 But this scroll shows the
 Master of the Kurain
 Channeling Technique.

Phoenix:
 The crest at the top is a
 sign of that honorable title.

Phoenix:
 The very same crest that
 adorns the talisman the
 victim carried with her!

Bikini:
 Aaaah!

Phoenix:
 This crest is reserved for
 the Master of Kurain.

Bikini:
 Who on Earth told you that
 nonsense!? I-I've got no idea
 what you're talking about!

Phoenix:
 The new Master, Maya Fey,
 told me!

Bikini:
 Wh...

Bikini:
 WHAT!?

Bikini:
 Y-You mean that acolyte...
 is Misty Fey's...

Phoenix:
 Daughter? Yes.

Bikini:
 ...

Bikini:
 Are you sure?

Phoenix:
 Yes. In fact, since her first
 daughter passed away, Maya is
 Misty Fey's sole successor.

Bikini:
 ...

Bikini:
 ...M...

Bikini:
 Mystic Mistyyyyyyy!

*AFTER TALKING TO BIKINI*

Bikini:
 ...

von Karma:
 Wh-What's happening?

Phoenix:
 (I-It can't be...)

Bikini:
 E-Earthquake!

Phoenix:
 Aaaaaaaargh!

Bikini:
 Oh my goodness!
 The Inner Temple! This kind of
 tremor might...

von Karma:
 The Inner Temple?

Bikini:
 The Sacred Cavern in the
 Training Hall! It might very
 well cave in!

Phoenix:
 WH-WHAT!?

Phoenix:
 MAYA!!!

--------------------------------------------

von Karma:
 It...
 It seems to have... passed...

Phoenix:
 Well, we can't just stand
 here and do nothing!
 Let's go!

von Karma:
 What? Where?

Phoenix:
 To the Inner Temple, of
 course! Where else!?

von Karma:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 Sister Bikini!
 We'll finish this later,
 alright!?

Bikini:
 Of course.
 You run along now!

Bikini:
 People may have been hurt.
 I must get some first aid
 kits ready.

von Karma:
 Come on then, Phoenix Wright!

von Karma:
 They won't bar you from
 entering as long as I'm with
 you.

Phoenix:
 Th-Thank you...

Phoenix:
 (Right at that moment, I had
 the worst feeling in my gut.)

Phoenix:
 (We just had an earthquake...)

Phoenix:
 (I wonder if he's alright...)

von Karma:
 You look worried.
 ...Are you thinking about
 Miles Edgeworth?

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Come on. Let's go!

MOVE TO: "Main Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (We've gotta hurry to the
 Inner Temple and...)

Edgeworth:
 ...Wright!

Phoenix:
 Aah! Wh-What are you doing
 here?

Edgeworth:
 Gurgh...

Edgeworth:
 H-How could I have...?

Edgeworth:
 ...

von Karma:
 How do you expect us to
 understand if you don't speak
 up!

Phoenix:
 Yeooowww!

Phoenix:
 Hey! Why am I the one getting
 whipped!?

Edgeworth:
 Sh-She's gone...

Phoenix:
 (N-No...!)

Edgeworth:
 The defendant... Iris...
 She's... gone...

von Karma:
 Gone where?

Edgeworth:
 She fled...
 She escaped!

von Karma:
 WHAT!?

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 So... it was just now...
 during the...

Edgeworth:
 ...

Phoenix:
 (It's easy to see Edgeworth's
 one and only weakness.)

Phoenix:
 (His fear of earthquakes...)

Edgeworth:
 I should've known better
 than to escort the defendant
 alone!

Edgeworth:
 As soon as the ground started
 shaking, everything went
 dark before my eyes and...

Edgeworth:
 ...I stupidly passed out!

Phoenix:
 That incident... haunts you
 to this day, doesn't it?

Edgeworth:
 ...

Edgeworth:
 That's no excuse for letting
 the suspect get away...

Edgeworth:
 I can't believe I let it
 happen.

Edgeworth:
 Wright, the Inner Temple area
 is a dead end, so she only
 could've escaped to this side.

von Karma:
 We haven't seen her.

Edgeworth:
 Then we need to get a manhunt
 underway now, and search Eagle
 Mountain from top to bottom!

Phoenix:
 Wait, Edgeworth.

Phoenix:
 Have you thoroughly checked
 the Inner Temple yet?

Edgeworth:
 Don't be ridiculous!
 Why would I?

Edgeworth:
 The Inner Temple is like an
 island. There's no way to
 escape but to cross...

Phoenix:
 No, that's not it...

Phoenix:
 Iris isn't the type of person
 to run away, Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 What are you talking about?

Phoenix:
 Sister Bikini mentioned
 something when we were
 with her.

Phoenix:
 She said that the Sacred
 Cavern might've caved in
 because of the quake.

von Karma:
 Then you think Iris might've
 gone to the Inner Temple to
 check on the situation...?

Phoenix:
 Listen, Edgeworth. I'm sure
 she's at the Inner Temple.
 A manhunt is not necessary.

Edgeworth:
 Wright...

Phoenix:
 Let's not waste any more time.
 We need to get to the Training
 Hall's Sacred Cavern now!

Edgeworth:
 ...
 Alright. Let's go!

February 9
Inner Temple
Training Hall

Phoenix:
 (Fortunately, the Sacred
 Cavern didn't cave in.)

Phoenix:
 (But...)

Phoenix:
 (What we found...)

Phoenix:
 (...was something none of
 us would've ever expected.)

*5 PSYCHE-LOCKS*

Phoenix:
 H-How can there be...

von Karma:
 ...Even more locks...

Phoenix:
 (Wh-What is the meaning
 of this...!?)

Phoenix:
 Iris!

Iris:
 ...

Phoenix:
 (Iris! Please tell me!)

Phoenix:
 (What the hell is going on!?)

February 9
Inner Temple
Training Hall

Edgeworth:
 Wright, is this what Godot
 was talking about?

Phoenix:
 ...Yeah.
 The trick locks.

Edgeworth:
 Now then, Iris.
 Please remove these at once.

Iris:
 Umm... Mr. Edgeworth...
 I'm afraid I can't...

Iris:
 It-It's not possible for me...

Edgeworth:
 What!?

Phoenix:
 (During the earthquake, when
 the cavern was in danger of
 caving in, Iris escaped.)

Phoenix:
 (And I know that there was
 only one lock when I last
 came here.)

von Karma:
 So you're saying that you
 can't undo the new locks?

Iris:
 ...Yes.

Edgeworth:
 If only I was stronger...!

Phoenix:
 Edgeworth, how are you
 feeling? You look a little
 pale in the face.

Edgeworth:
 Like you're one to talk with
 your face all green.

von Karma:
 ...Miles Edgeworth.
 Go and get some air.

von Karma:
 I'll watch over the suspect.
 You go and get a grip on
 yourself.

Edgeworth:
 Don't be ridiculous!
 I'm perfectly finngh!

von Karma:
 There's no telling what sort
 of mistakes you could make
 in your current state.

von Karma:
 Go and get some rest!
 That's your only concern
 now, Miles Edgeworth!

Edgeworth:
 ......
 ...
 Understood.

Edgeworth:
 I'll handle the investigation
 in the garden... You take
 care of things here.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (Edgeworth...)

Phoenix:
 He's got so much pride that
 he's probably off crying in
 a corner of the garden...

von Karma:
 Pride is simply another
 trap that hinders us in
 our lives.

von Karma:
 That said... One must
 have pride to be effective
 on the job.

von Karma:
 At any rate, it seems that
 this is where we part ways,
 Phoenix Wright.

von Karma:
 I'm going to stay here and
 see if I can't help solve
 these bothersome puzzles.

Phoenix:
 ...I see.
 Well, thanks for your help.

Phoenix:
 Now then... Do you mind if
 I ask you a few things, Iris?

Iris:
 No, not at all...

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Dresser drawers ++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's an antique dresser.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Don't you dare open it,
+   Phoenix Wright!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Now I know how Maya feels
+   when I tell her not to touch
+   things...)
+
+ von Karma:
+   ...
+
+ von Karma:
+   What a pity. It's just full of
+   old clothes for the acolytes.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I thought we weren't opening
+   it!
+
+ von Karma:
+   I'm from the Prosecutor's
+   Office. I can do anything.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Yeah, you can do anything...
+   Except stand up to a 9 year
+   old girl.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Sacred cavern entrance +++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Hmm... This door...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   When I was here earlier,
+   there was only one lock,
+   but now there's five of them.
+
+ von Karma:
+   Those chains... It's almost as
+   if they're guarding something
+   inside that cavern.
+
+ von Karma:
+   I've never seen locks quite
+   like these before.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I have. I've seen locks
+   and chains just like these
+   before.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (They look just like the ones
+   that guard a person's secrets
+   during a Psyche-Lock.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I wonder if these locks are
+   guarding something, too.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Dark secrets in a dark
+   cavern...)

MOVE TO: "Garden"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Inner Temple
Garden

Phoenix:
 The cops are still combing
 the place. They look pretty
 nervous...

Phoenix:
 I'd be nervous, too.
 It's got to be a tough job.

Phoenix:
 Especially with someone giving
 you the evil eye the whole
 time.

Edgeworth:
 *mutter, mutter*
 How could I have done that...?

Phoenix:
 (Wow. I can't believe it's
 still bothering him.)

Phoenix:
 Edgeworth...?

Edgeworth:
 Aaaah!
 ...

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Hey! Don't you dare run away!

Edgeworth:
 ...What do you want, Wright?

Phoenix:
 What do I want?

Edgeworth:
 If you came here to laugh at
 me, then get on with it.

Edgeworth:
 Go on! Laugh away!

Phoenix:
 (*sigh* I was ready to hug it
 out with him, but he's just
 the same, prideful Edgeworth.)

Phoenix:
 You went back to the Criminal
 Affairs Department, right?

Phoenix:
 You said you wanted to
 look into something concerning
 Iris.

Edgeworth:
 Y-Yes...

Edgeworth:
 ...And thanks to what I found,
 I was reminded of something
 terrible.

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ Bottom left area +++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   A little lantern, a little
+   statue...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's small, but the whole
+   place is incredibly well-kept.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   There's just one thing that's
+   troubling me.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Everything else is covered in
+   snow or frozen over...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...but the ice in this bowl
+   has been broken by someone.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Maybe one of the detectives
+   washed their face in it or
+   something?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Don't be ridiculous, Wright!
+   No detective would be that
+   careless at a crime scene!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (He's really angry... I'd
+   better not say it was Gumshoe
+   or his salary's gonna pay...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Red thing on the snow ++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's a charm or something
+   poking out from the snow.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (It looks pretty old.
+   There's a leather cord
+   tied to it, too.)
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It belonged to the victim.
+   We're sure of that now.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It's going in the evidence
+   room once the investigation
+   is over, so hands off, Wright.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You don't need to tell me
+   that!
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Well, our dear friend Larry
+   just tried to steal it when no
+   one was looking.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (He probably just wanted
+   something to remember his
+   esteemed teacher by...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Any torch (or their stands) ++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There are torches of the
+   naked flame variety.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess you need all the light
+   you can get up here in the
+   mountains.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Accordingly to Detective
+   Gumshoe, they were lit on the
+   night of the murder.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Well, Maya was training up
+   here, so there's nothing
+   strange about that.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Except...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Apparently, they don't light
+   these torches for training
+   sessions.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Huh?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I heard that too much light
+   isn't conducive to spiritual
+   training.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Oh... I didn't know that...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ground surrounding the stone lantern +++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Why's this the only area
+   with no snow?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Someone must have cleared it
+   away. What other explanation
+   is there?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Of course, I played the
+   "What If?" game as well...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   But when I asked our trusty
+   bungler, Detective Gumshoe,
+   he said it wasn't him.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I suppose Edgeworth has a
+   point...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Whoever cleared the snow
+   away must've had a reason
+   to do so.)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (I just can't imagine what
+   that reason could be.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The stone lantern ++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I suppose you've noticed
+   that Maya's name is written
+   on this lantern.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's pretty hard to miss,
+   you know.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   It's written in Ms. Deauxnim's
+   blood.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   She was probably forced up
+   against the lantern by the
+   killer.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Then with her back against
+   the lantern, she wrote that
+   name with her finger.
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   That's why it's written
+   upside-down.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You think the victim wrote
+   this herself?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   Isn't that the obvious
+   conclusion?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But why would she write Maya's
+   name?
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   ...
+
+ Edgeworth:
+   I don't think that's something
+   I want to discuss with you.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

PRESENT (TO EDGEWORTH)
----------------------

*** Attorney's Badge ***********************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Is that your attorney's badge?
*   Interesting.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I never imagined I'd ever see
*   you wearing one of these,
*   Wright.
*
* Phoenix:
*   It's because of you that I
*   became one, Edgeworth.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Phoenix:
*   Not that I have any regrets.
*   I really don't.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (If you're trying to say
*   "thanks", you can start by
*   saying it a bit louder...)
*
********************************************

*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Another victim we know nothing
*   about. Same as always.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I hope you'll tell me if you
*   know something about our
*   mystery woman, Wright.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I know that Elise Deauxnim
*   was no ordinary visitor to
*   the temple.)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But her true identity could
*   be a useful weapon for the
*   defense.)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (And I can't give that away
*   just like that...)
*
********************************************

*** Iris's Hood ****************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Iris gave that to you,
*   didn't she?
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yes, and it really works! It
*   helped my fever go down
*   quicker. I'm sure of it.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   So you say! But your face is
*   as white as a sheet, and sweat
*   is running down your cheek!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Anyway, it seems to me like
*   there's something going on
*   between the two of you.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*   Actually...
*
* Phoenix:
*   I don't know exactly why, but
*   there's something about Iris
*   that just tugs at me.
*
* Phoenix:
*   I can't figure out whether I
*   feel like I know her, or don't
*   know her at all.
*
* Phoenix:
*   It's really weird.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Hmm...
*
********************************************

*** Larry's Sketch *************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Get that piece of filth out
*   of my face!
*
* Phoenix:
*   You're still mad, huh,
*   Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I know a thing or two about
*   Larry Butz, just like you.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   We both know he likes to act
*   up, but this? Even he couldn't
*   make something like this up.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   If this is what he drew,
*   then... this is what he saw.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   As unbelievable as it may
*   seem...
*
* Phoenix:
*   I know.
*   That's what I think, too.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Every time! Every single time
*   I see that guy, he's in it up
*   to his neck!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I knew it. Edgeworth's still
*   mad as a hornet at Larry.)
*
********************************************

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I don't know Maya Fey very
*   well.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   But it seems to me that the
*   girl is always landing herself
*   in trouble.
*
* Phoenix:
*   It seems to me that you know
*   her better than you think!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I do sincerely hope she's
*   going to be alright...
*
********************************************

*** Mia Fey profile ************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   One of the biggest names in
*   the world of law, as I'm sure
*   you'll agree.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   For better or for worse, we
*   were only destined to meet
*   once in the courtroom.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I know. I read all about it.)
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It was the first time for the
*   both of us. Two novices, head
*   to head.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I can still remember how
*   downhearted I felt after that
*   trial ended the way it did...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I wonder if Mia felt the
*   same way, too.)
*
********************************************

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It seems Pearl was trapped on
*   this side of the river on the
*   night of the murder.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Did she tell you anything?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Listen, Wright...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   She's just a kid. I can't
*   force things out of her.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   You'll have to be the one to
*   find out what she knows.
*
********************************************

*** Godot profile **************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   He's something of a legend,
*   I hear.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Don't say it like you don't
*   know anything about him!
*   Tell me what you know.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It's a bit strange, actually.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   If he really was anything
*   special, I should have heard
*   about him by now.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I'm always well-informed about
*   the rookies coming into the
*   Prosecutor's Office, you know.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Then you mean...
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...he isn't anything special?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Hmph. You should already
*   know the answer to that.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Although, there is one other
*   possibility...
*
* Phoenix:
*   What's that?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   He could have come into the
*   profession from a different
*   channel.
*
* Phoenix:
*   What different channel?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   There's more than one way to
*   become a prosecutor, Wright.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Perhaps he started off as a
*   defense attorney, but decided
*   it wasn't for him?
*
* Phoenix:
*   A defense attorney...?
*   (I didn't even know you could
*   switch sides like that...)
*
********************************************

*** Dick Gumshoe profile *******************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I was just with Detective
*   Gumshoe. I treated him to
*   some pasta.
*
* Phoenix:
*   You owe him that much!
*   After all, it's your fault
*   his salary is so low!
*
* Edgeworth:
*   H-How's it my fault?
*
* Phoenix:
*   And look, if you're going to
*   buy the guy lunch, at least
*   get him something decent, OK?
*
* Phoenix:
*   Gumshoe practically lives on
*   pasta and noodles already.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Well I did order some extra
*   parmesan cheese on top.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   He was crying tears of joy as
*   he dug into it. It was quite
*   moving.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (...All you have to do is
*   give the poor guy a raise...)
*
********************************************

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It's crossed my mind once or
*   twice that her testimony might
*   be a bunch of lies.
*
* Phoenix:
*   There certainly are a lot of
*   problems with it.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   The thing is...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...as far as I can tell, she
*   has no reason to deceive us.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I believe she did meet the
*   defendant at the Inner Temple,
*   and witnessed the murder, too.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   The one in the Hazakura Temple
*   courtyard, in any case.
*
********************************************

*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Apparently, Iris was taken in
*   by the sisters here at the
*   temple when she was a child.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   However, we still don't know
*   much about her past, so we're
*   looking into it.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (This reminds me...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Edgeworth went back to the
*   Criminal Affairs Department to
*   look up some stuff on her...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I should ask him what he
*   found.)
*
********************************************

*** Laurice Deauxnim profile ***************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Apparently he had become
*   something of an apprentice to
*   Elise Deauxnim.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yes. Something like that.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   He did this portrait for me
*   earlier.
*
* Phoenix:
*   That's great...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Let's just leave it at that
*   about Larry, alright?
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Looks like someone's still
*   mad at the Butz for his
*   performance in court today.)
*
********************************************

*** Franziska von Karma profile ************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It's been more than a year
*   since I last saw Franziska
*   myself.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   But it seems that she's been
*   dying to see you again.
*
* Phoenix:
*   She really said that...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I believe she wants to eat you
*   for breakfast! Or to put it
*   another way, whip you silly.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Literally and metaphorically.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Oh.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Go on, let her have her way!
*   It would make for a great
*   anecdote about my trip!
*
* Phoenix:
*   Forget it, Edgeworth!
*
********************************************

*** Miles Edgeworth profile ****************
*
* Edgeworth:
*   If you want to know how to
*   run the perfect trial, there's
*   a lot to study and learn.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Oh, is that what you're
*   studying about right now?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I've sat at the prosecutor's
*   bench for trials in five
*   different countries now.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   The first thing you must do is
*   gain complete mastery of the
*   language. It's quite a task.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (I'd never get anywhere then!
*   It's taken me a lifetime to
*   sort of master one language!)
*
********************************************

*** Anything else **************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   What do you think about this,
*   Edgeworth?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Sorry, Wright...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   You're a defense attorney,
*   and I'm a prosecutor.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   It wouldn't be right for us to
*   discuss things so intimately.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But you were acting for the
*   defense in the trial today!)
*
********************************************

MOVE TO: "Inner Temple Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Inner Temple Gate

Phoenix:
 (I'm finally getting to the
 bottom of this case.)

Phoenix:
 (I can count on Iris to break
 those locks, so I should try
 to gather more clues.)

Phoenix:
 (From Sister Bikini,
 Edgeworth, Gumshoe...)

Phoenix:
 (...and Pearls...)

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You can see Dusky Bridge from
+   here, and it feels like an
+   unusually long bridge to me.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess the gorge is too wide
+   to cross with a piece of rope
+   or wire.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   In other words, no one has
+   crossed it in either direction
+   since the night of the murder.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Which means that scene in the
+   Inner Temple's garden couldn't
+   have been set up by someone.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Metal hook +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's an anchor for one of
+   the wires that used to hold
+   up the bridge.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess it must have snapped
+   during the fire.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Buddha statues +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Look at all the Buddha statues
+   lined up along this path.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Looks like one of the cakes</pre><pre id="faqspan-18">
+   someone left as an offering is
+   missing, though.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess Gumshoe couldn't
+   resist, the poor guy.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Incinerator ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There's something strange
+   about this incinerator.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I'm sure there was snow on it
+   the first time I saw it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That, and the door's open.
+   Someone's been burning
+   something, that's for sure.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's a shame there isn't a
+   trace of what it was left
+   inside.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Yellow gate ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   On the other side of that
+   little gate is the garden.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Edgeworth is probably still
+   in there, crying softly to
+   himself.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I guess we better hug it out
+   and talk about what he's
+   uncovered so far.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Wooden log on left with sign +++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I can't read it very well, but
+   I think that sign says, "Inner
+   Temple" on it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Or maybe it says, "Training
+   Hall".
+
+ Phoenix:
+   No. Maybe it's not that at
+   all. Maybe it says, "The
+   Bridge of Dawn".
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...I really should get back to
+   work!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Maya has got to be inside
+   the Sacred Cavern.
+   She's just got to be.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I hate feeling so useless.
+   It's driving me nuts.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But I need to look for clues
+   so that I'm ready when we
+   finally get her out of there.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Suspension Bridge"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Dusky Bridge

Phoenix:
 It's weird that there's no one
 around all of a sudden.

Phoenix:
 It sure gets quiet up here in
 the mountains when you're all
 on your own.

Phoenix:
 Speaking of alone... I guess I
 should go check out the shack
 just down this path...

Phoenix:
 Maybe I'll find Larry there
 sulking again.

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The bridge +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That thing looks like it's
+   ready to collapse... At least
+   more than it did before.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   According to Bikini, Eagle
+   Mountain is very prone to
+   earthquakes.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I had a feeling something bad
+   was going to happen, and sure
+   enough, it did.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Yup. Edgeworth definitely
+   couldn't live up here!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Main Gate"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate

Phoenix:
 I wonder if Sister Bikini has
 gone back to the Main Hall
 already.

Phoenix:
 I haven't seen Gumshoe
 around for a while, either.

Phoenix:
 Maybe they're having a cup of
 tea together somewhere.

Phoenix:
 I bet Gumshoe is Sister
 Bikini's type.

--------------------------------------------

EXAMINE
-------

+++ The gate +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This is one impressive gate.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's pretty grand for
+   something that belongs to
+   a branch family of the clan.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I bet they make an exorbitant
+   amount of money here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I mean, that whole Special
+   Course thing has got to be
+   good business!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Ack! Noooo!!
+   I'm starting to think
+   like Maya!
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The Main Hall ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You can see the Main Hall
+   from here.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Sister Bikini should
+   be back by now.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   We were interrupted earlier by
+   the earthquake.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I think I should go pick up
+   our conversation where we
+   left off.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Bell tower +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's a quaint, little bell
+   tower.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I never would've thought
+   that something this horrible
+   was about to happen...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...when Iris rang the lights
+   out bell that night.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snowmobile +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I wonder what this thing was
+   used for on the night of the
+   murder...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   There is only one key to this
+   snowmobile, and Iris is the
+   one who had it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   So I have to wonder if it was
+   her...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...But she says she never left
+   Hazakura Temple that night.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

MOVE TO: "Main Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

Phoenix:
 Looks like Sister Bikini is
 not here.

Phoenix:
 She must be sorting things out
 after the quake. Must be hard
 on her with her bad back.

Phoenix:
 There are a few things I
 really need to discuss with
 her.

Phoenix:
 Guess I'll drop by again
 later and see if she's
 around.

MOVE TO: "Heavenly Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Heavenly Hall

Pearl:
 Oh! Mr. Nick!

Phoenix:
 Pearls!
 What are you doing here?

Pearl:
 N-Nothing...
 What about Mystic Maya!?
 Is she alright!?

Phoenix:
 Um... Well... We don't know
 yet.

Pearl:
 Oh... I see...

Butz:
 Hey!
 What do you think you're
 doing here, Nick!?

Phoenix:
 Larry...

Butz:
 This is the losers' shack,
 where losers get together to
 lose themselves!

Phoenix:
 This is the what...?

Butz:
 Hey, we find comfort in each
 other's failures, OK? You
 got a problem with that?

Pearl:
 Look, Mr. Nick. Mr. Laurice
 did a picture of me!

Phoenix:
 That's, um... great, Pearls.

Butz:
 We're going to gather
 firewood now.

Butz:
 We'll be cooking some
 half-rotten potatoes over
 a miserable little camp fire.

Butz:
 So stay out of our way!

Phoenix:
 (I don't believe this... Why
 can't he try getting fired up
 over becoming a better man?)

Butz:
 No one believes a word I say
 anymore.

Butz:
 Listen to me, Pearl. You don't
 wanna trust this kind of guy,
 OK? He'll only let you down!

Pearl:
 ...
 Oh, Mystic Maya...

MOVE TO: "Main Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Hazakura Temple
Main Hall

Bikini:
 Well!? What's the damage!?
 How is the Sacred Cavern!?

Phoenix:
 It looks like it survived.
 But we have a bigger
 problem now.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I told Sister Bikini all
 about it...)

Phoenix:
 (About the five locks that
 were stopping us from getting
 inside the Sacred Cavern.)

--------------------------------------------

Bikini:
 ...

Bikini:
 But who... who could've
 done that...?

Bikini:
 The only people who know how
 to set those trick locks are
 those of the Kurain Tradition.

Phoenix:
 We have Iris at the Sacred
 Cavern, trying her best to
 open them for us right now.

Phoenix:
 Actually, there's something
 I've been meaning to talk with
 you about, Sister Bikini.

Bikini:
 Oh, yes. We were in the middle
 of a chat, weren't we?

Phoenix:
 Yes. You were telling me how
 the Master of Kurain
 disappeared 17 years ago.

Phoenix:
 I want to know why Misty
 Fey suddenly appeared at
 this temple.

Bikini:
 It was about a week ago when
 Mystic Elise... No, I mean
 Mystic Misty, arrived.

Bikini:
 After she showed me the
 talisman that proved she was
 the Master, she said...

Bikini:
 "Someone is trying to destroy
 the Kurain Tradition's main
 family line."

Bikini:
 "I am here to put a stop to
 them."

Phoenix:
 Someone was trying to
 destroy the main family line?

Bikini:
 There is only one heir to the
 title of "Master" at any time,
 and it's usually the eldest.

Bikini:
 That child becomes the new
 Master of Kurain, and her
 daughters, the main family.

Bikini:
 All other mediums become
 branch family members, with no
 hope of controlling the clan.

Bikini:
 That's why nothing has changed
 throughout the history of the
 clan...

Bikini:
 Branch families always have
 and always will plot to erase
 those of the main family line.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 (Is the power of the Master
 worth this much bloodshed...?)

********************************************

*** Maya Fey profile ***********************
*
* Bikini:
*   So... This young lady is the
*   new Master...
*
* Phoenix:
*   That's right. Maya Fey.
*
* Bikini:
*   Oh dear, oh dear...
*   If I'd known who she was...
*
* Bikini:
*   I would've prepared a feast,
*   not a boring old pot roast
*   and some gravy!
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*
* Phoenix:
*   Once we get her out, you can

*
* Bikini:
*   Of course! You just make sure

*
* Bikini:

*AFTER TALKING TO BIKINI*

Phoenix:
 ...
 Thank you very much.

Phoenix:
 You've helped clear up a lot
 of details.

Phoenix:
 Pearls had two older sisters,
 huh...

Bikini:
 Yes, that's right...

Bikini:
 No doubt it was all because of
 Mystic Morgan's anger towards
 the main family...

Phoenix:
 Anger? What do you mean?

Bikini:
 Her twin daughters were taken
 from her by her jeweler
 husband.

Bikini:
 But even that couldn't destroy
 her dream that a child of hers
 would one day lead the clan.

Phoenix:
 (That's why she had Pearls?)

Bikini:
 It seems that the incident
 here was a result of Mystic
 Morgan's anger.

Bikini:
 It was able to break free of
 the bars that confine her.

Phoenix:
 (So Iris has a twin sister...)

Phoenix:
 (The plot thickens...)

Phoenix:
 (But this information will be
 useless unless I can flesh it
 out a bit.)

Phoenix:
 (I need to ask more questions,
 and get some more info!)

MOVE TO: "Courtyard"

Phoenix:
 (Sounds like someone's happy.
 What tune is that they're
 humming...?)

Gumshoe:
 */No motive, no crime. No
 motive, no crime. Sing it with
 me - No motive, no crime!*/

Gumshoe:
 */...I remember, when we use
 to search... in the Channeling
 Room in Kurain...*/

Gumshoe:
 Whoop! I love my job!

Gumshoe:
 Who cares if the clues I
 find are no good?

Gumshoe:
 That's not what
 investigating's all about!

Gumshoe:
 The investigator investigates
 for the love of investigating!
 It's a passion!

Gumshoe:
 */Good cases we have, good
 cases we've lost...
 Along the way...*/

Phoenix:
 (...I would have never guessed
 that Gumshoe was into reggae.)

Gumshoe:
 */Every case is gonna be air
 tight... Every case is gonna
 be air tight...*/

Gumshoe:
 Hey, pal.

Phoenix:
 Huh? Who, me?

Gumshoe:
 How long have you been there?

Phoenix:
 ...
 I just got here.

Gumshoe:
 ...Oh, OK.

Phoenix:
 So what are you up to,
 Detective?

Gumshoe:
 I'm investigating, pal.

Gumshoe:
 I made a promise to
 Mr. Edgeworth.

Gumshoe:
 I promised I would find the
 real murder weapon.

Phoenix:
 (The real murder weapon...)

Gumshoe:
 That barbed sword thing turned
 out to be a false lead, right?

Gumshoe:
 I'm giving it my best shot
 here, but I still haven't
 turned up any clues.

Gumshoe:
 I just found these weird
 scraps of paper. It looks like
 a letter or something.

Gumshoe:
 It doesn't seem to have
 anything to do with the
 case, though...

Phoenix:
 (A letter?)

PRESENT (TO GUMSHOE)
--------------------

*** Hanging Scroll *************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   Do you know anything about
*   this scroll, Detective?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Well, I know it smells great!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, this is just the kind of
*   weather for some steaming
*   mashed potatoes and gravy.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh! And weenies!
*   Mashed potatoes with gravy
*   and weenies!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Potatoes and weenies are the
*   two greatest foods invented by
*   man. A dream combination!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Although, I can't afford to
*   try them together yet.
*   It's an unfulfilled dream...
*
* Phoenix:
*   Um... I was hoping you'd have
*   more to say about the scroll
*   and less about the gravy...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh, sorry. Nah, I can't tell
*   you much about that scroll,
*   pal.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (...Why do I bother anymore?)
*
********************************************

*** Photo of Elise or Elise Deauxnim profile ***
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She sure was a mysterious
*   person.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Her real name, her past...
*   It's all a complete mystery.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Not quite. She was Maya's
*   mother.)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But Gumshoe doesn't know
*   that yet...)
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Just like every other case,
*   huh? Always a mystery!
*
********************************************

*** Victim's Staff *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That staff belonged to the
*   victim.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yeah, and apart from the
*   crystal missing from the top,
*   there's nothing wrong with it.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh, I just remembered
*   something important! This
*   is just between us, OK?
*
* Phoenix:
*   O-OK... What is it?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I've never told anyone this
*   before... It's a secret.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I...
*   I actually wanted to be a
*   wizard when I was a kid.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*
* Phoenix:
*   Is that it?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, that's it.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Hmm... How did the crystal
*   sphere get separated from
*   the staff?)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (And what was it doing near
*   the foot of Dusky Bridge...?)
*
********************************************

*** Larry's Sketch *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   It was like a circus today
*   in court.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   All thanks to this little
*   sketch.
*
* von Karma:
*   You want my advice?
*   You should ignore it, pal.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Look, I know Larry's a bit
*   out there.
*
* Phoenix:
*   But he wouldn't just draw
*   something like this as a
*   joke.
*
* von Karma:
*   Then I guess I should start
*   getting hyped for tomorrow's
*   trial.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Huh?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Seeing you trying to explain
*   that thing...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I wouldn't miss it for the
*   world, pal!
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Maybe he's right. Maybe I
*   should just ignore this
*   useless piece of graffiti.)
*
********************************************

*** Crystal Sphere *************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   This was found close to Dusky
*   Bridge, wasn't it?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That's what that artist guy
*   said, yeah.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Right after the defendant flew
*   over the burning bridge!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   According to his testimony,
*   she dropped it when she landed
*   on the other side.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (But this crystal didn't
*   belong to Iris.)
*
* Gumshoe:
*   There are traces of blood
*   on it too, you know, pal.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (The real question is what was
*   it doing near the foot of
*   Dusky Bridge...?)
*
********************************************

*** Pearl Fey profile **********************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   The girl was trapped over at
*   the Inner Temple since the
*   night of the murder.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Did she say anything to you
*   about Maya?
*
* Phoenix:
*   She wouldn't tell me...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She's not gonna tell me
*   something if she wouldn't even
*   speak to you, pal.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She was real upset. She
*   wouldn't stop crying.
*
********************************************

*** Godot profile **************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That guy's got more mysteries
*   than a Choose Your Own
*   Escapade book, pal.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Yeah, I know.
*   Trust me.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I can't believe he skipped the
*   trial like that, without even
*   getting permission.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   He'd have been fired for sure
*   if he worked for a normal
*   company.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Do you know where he is now?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Nah. But I bet he's walking
*   around somewhere with a mug
*   of coffee in one hand.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Hmm, I should've figured...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (It looks like Gumshoe doesn't
*   know about Godot's physical
*   condition...)
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* Godot:
*   Of course, being extradited
*   from Hell is a tedious
*   affair.
*
* Godot:
*   The meticulous regeneration
*   and adjustment of all your
*   internal organs is...
*
* Godot:
*   Well... Let's just say modern
*   medicine allows us all to live
*   to a ripe old age.
*
* Godot:
*   Even someone like me.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* Phoenix:
*   (He had a good reason for
*   missing the trial.)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (So why didn't he tell
*   anyone about it?)
*
********************************************

*** Dick Gumshoe profile *******************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Hey, you wanna hear
*   something, pal?
*   Come on, I know you do!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Maggey says she's gonna buy
*   me a new coat!
*
* Phoenix:
*   Really? That's great!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah. I think it's to say
*   thanks for helping her out
*   during that last case!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Which means...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I can finally chuck out this
*   stinky, sweat-soaked rag!
*
********************************************

*** Bikini profile *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She's a sweet old lady.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She doesn't look like the
*   lying type to me.
*
* Phoenix:
*   But there was a problem with
*   her testimony, wasn't there?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, but I don't think it
*   was her fault.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She was just trying to say the
*   right thing, and it came out
*   wrong, that's all.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I know what it's like.
*   Happens to me all the time!
*
********************************************

*** Iris profile ***************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I dunno. I'm not so sure
*   anymore.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   The clues we found today
*   have turned this case all
*   topsy-turvy.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I can't see how Iris could've
*   done it now.
*
* Phoenix:
*   What clues are you talking
*   about?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I dunno if I should be telling
*   you, pal. But I guess I can
*   let you in on it.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   The fact that the Inner Temple
*   Garden was the crime scene.
*   And... that bloody writing.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   However you look at it, Maya
*   Fey's the only person who...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Hey! Quit giving me that evil
*   stare, would you? You look
*   just like Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* Phoenix:
*   It wasn't Maya!
*   There is no way it could've
*   been her!
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I knew I shouldn't have said
*   anything.
*
********************************************

*** Franziska von Karma profile ************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Hey, speaking of
*   Ms. von Karma, what's she
*   up to...?
*
* Phoenix:
*   She's keeping an eye on Iris
*   at the Inner Temple.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh, really!?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Phew! I can relax at last;
*   now that you've lost her.
*
* Phoenix:
*   She has a real thing for
*   hitting you with that whip
*   of hers, huh?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, but I'm kinda getting</pre><pre id="faqspan-19">
*   used to it... which scares
*   me a lot.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh! So this one time, she
*   forgot her whip at home
*   or something...
*
* Phoenix:
*   And...? Tell me you were able
*   to have a violence-free day.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Nah. She slapped me instead.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I prefer the whip. Getting
*   slapped all day makes you
*   look like such a loser.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (And being whipped doesn't?)
*
********************************************

*** Miles Edgeworth profile ****************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I haven't seen Mr. Edgeworth
*   for about a year. Talk about
*   a long time!
*
* Phoenix:
*   Do you know why he moved
*   overseas?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I don't know. Probably to look
*   cool.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Huh?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   There's a lot of weight
*   attached to doing research
*   overseas, you know.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Once I've done my stint in
*   Paris, you'll have to call me
*   Monsieur Gumchaussure.
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*
* Phoenix:
*   (People really don't get
*   Edgeworth, do they?)
*
********************************************

*** Morgan Fey profile *********************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I've seen this lady someplace
*   before.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ............
*   Isn't she that jaw-droppingly
*   large strawberry desert woman?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh, yeah! She's Pearl Fey's
*   mother, right?
*
* Phoenix:
*   That's right.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She was involved in that
*   incident in Kurain Village
*   last year, wasn't she?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*   Hey!
*   She was the one who did it!
*
* Phoenix:
*   (Why doesn't he think his
*   whole thought through
*   BEFORE opening his mouth!?)
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah, that was one ugly case,
*   huh, pal?
*
* Phoenix:
*   ("Was"?
*   I don't know...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (The more we look at this
*   case, the more I feel like
*   that one never ended...)
*
* Gumshoe:
*   She's locked up safe in
*   solitary confinement at the
*   detention center, though...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   At least we can rule her
*   out of this case!
*
********************************************

*** Anything else **************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   What about this, Detective
*   Gumshoe? Any thoughts?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Yeah... Well...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   It's pretty chilly today, huh?
*   My brain doesn't work properly
*   in the cold.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Perhaps we'll just have to
*   wait until Summer when it's
*   warmer?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh, no. My brain doesn't work
*   properly in the heat.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I'm kinda weak in the head.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (There are some things you're
*   better off not advertising,
*   Gumshoe...)
*

METAL DETECTOR MODE
-------------------

+++ Skis +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   It's just a pair of skis.
+   Nothing useful for our
+   case here.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I'm actually pretty good on
+   skis you know, pal.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I just love to fly down the
+   slopes with my coat fluttering
+   in the wind!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Really? I had no idea.
+   How good are you, then?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Well...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I'm better on skis than I am
+   on skates. But not as good
+   as when I'm on a snowboard.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (That's a pretty detailed
+   answer.)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh! But you know what I'm
+   best at? Making mashed
+   potatoes and gravy.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (The guy's losing it. Must be
+   the altitude. We'd better get
+   back to the investigation...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Sled +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's odd. This sled's made
+   of plastic...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It says, "Bikini #1" on the
+   side...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Maybe there's something
+   under it...)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Hey, what's this?
+   A-A badge...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Ah-haaaaaa!
+   I've been hunting high and low
+   for that!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   I-It's yours, Detective?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That thing's priceless to a
+   guy like me, pal. A cop can't
+   be a cop without his badge!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I'm sure glad I put that
+   dime in there now.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   How did you manage to drop
+   your badge here, of all
+   places!?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I know! I bet it happened
+   this morning.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I was playing around with the
+   sled and...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Stop right there.
+   I don't need to hear any more.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Step-ladder ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Look, a ladder!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That's a "step"-ladder.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   What's the difference?
+   Looks like a normal ladder to
+   me, pal.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Surely everyone knows the
+   difference... I mean, they're
+   pretty ordinary objects...)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I've met plenty of guys like
+   you, always picking on the
+   smallest details.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   The vegetable store guy near
+   my place does it all the time.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   He even corrects me when I ask
+   for a head of lettuce. "That's
+   a cabbage," he says.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I'm telling you, they're the
+   exact same thing!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   No they're not! They're
+   completely different!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You have to plant both of them
+   firmly in the ground before
+   they can grow, don't you?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Listen. You gotta take a step
+   back and look at the bigger
+   picture sometimes.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Otherwise you could miss a
+   really important clue. That's
+   advice from a pro, pal!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (...The last person I need
+   advice from is this guy in
+   front of me.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snow on the left side of the sled ++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This must be an old pan handle
+   or something.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   H-How do you know that!?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Huh, what?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That was my nickname in junior
+   high.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   What, "pan handle"?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I didn't have much money
+   back then, pal.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I used to bum stuff off the
+   other kids sometimes, so they
+   called me "Panhandler".
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   "Panhandler", huh?
+   I can see that.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Thinking back, it's actually
+   kind of a nice memory now.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snow near the one above ++++++++++++++++
+   (there is a black dot)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This looks like... a wallet?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Ah-haaaa!
+   That's where it's been!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Is it yours, Detective?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I'm always dropping it, so I
+   put a bell on it.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But you still dropped it
+   anyway...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah, but now I found it
+   again, pal.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...Your wallet is completely
+   empty.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Well, I drop it all the time,
+   so I don't put money in it
+   anymore.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   ...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Then how come the metal
+   detector picked it up...?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Must be because of the bell,
+   I guess.
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snow just below Ami Fey statue +++++++++
+   (the fourth step from the statue)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Hey, I found a dollar coin.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Huh? M-Money!? If you find
+   money, you have to turn it in
+   to the police. Or a detective.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   If the owner doesn't come
+   forward within six months,
+   you get to keep 10 percent!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   The other ninety percent goes
+   to m... I mean, to the Police
+   Department.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   D-Don't get so close to me,
+   Detective. Give me some space,
+   will you!?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Here's the coin.
+   Happy?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...
+   I definitely made the right
+   decision becoming a detective.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Yikes... Talk about a serious
+   case of denial...)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snow beside the one above ++++++++++++++
+   (on the left side)
+
+ Phoenix:
+   What's this...?
+   A pen?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hey! I've been looking all
+   over for that, pal!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Huh? It's yours?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah. My old man gave it to
+   me when I qualified as a
+   detective.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   He told me it'd be good for
+   sticking in suspects' faces.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   That makes you detectives
+   sound really nasty.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It's my dream to stick it in
+   your face one day, Wright!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Then don't go losing it!)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Ami Fey statue +++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   That Shichishito next to the
+   golden statue wasn't the real
+   murder weapon, pal.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Yeah, I know.
+   I just thought I'd check it
+   again anyway.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Oh, yeah! That reminds me!
+   Do you know about that sword?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It's supposed to represent the
+   multiple branches that life
+   can take, all ending as one.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Yes. I heard something about
+   that.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   You know what I think
+   about sometimes?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   What kind of life I'd be
+   leading had I not joined
+   the Homicide Division.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You think about that kind of
+   stuff, Detective?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Of course I do.
+   I think about it a lot.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Me as a traffic cop.
+   Me as a detention officer.
+   Me as the Blue Badger...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (...There's something to be
+   said about the humor value of
+   Gumshoe as the Blue Badger.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Snow near the front lantern's fences +++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Looks like there's something
+   round buried in the ground
+   here...)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Don't touch that, pal!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Huh? What is it?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It's a trap! People set them
+   out to catch us detectives.
+   They're real nasty.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   A trap... for detectives?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   You mean like those fierce
+   traps with sharp teeth that
+   are supposed to snag your leg?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah! Those!
+   I got my finger caught in
+   one of those once.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Y-Your finger?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   There was this bit of cheese,
+   and it looked so tasty. I
+   reached out, and then... bam!
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (...I'm not sure I know how
+   to respond to a story as
+   stupidly pitiful as that.)
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ The staff on the snow ++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   This is Ms. Deauxnim's staff,
+   isn't it?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Scientifically speaking,
+   they're usually made of wood.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   But the detector is reacting
+   to it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Yeah, but however you look at
+   it, the thing's made of wood,
+   alright?
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   I don't bother investigating
+   anything unless it looks like
+   it might be metallic.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Isn't the whole point of a
+   metal detector to find metal
+   where you can't see it?)
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   It's weird that this thing is
+   causing a racket...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Here, let me take a look
+   at it.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hey! Hands off!
+   Examining evidence is a job
+   for the...
+
+ *crack*
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Ack! The top is coming off!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Look what you've done! You've
+   damaged a really important
+   piece of evidence.
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Aaaaaaaaah!
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Th-That's a...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   A... A sword...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Inside the staff...
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Is this...
+   Could it be...
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   ...The murder weapon!?
+
+ CONTINUE
+
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++ Anywhere else ++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+ Phoenix:
+   Hmm... It doesn't look like
+   there's anything here.
+
+ Gumshoe:
+   Hey, pal! You've gotta watch
+   the CHECK gauge and wait
+   for it to flash, OK!?
+
+ Phoenix:
+   (Alright, already...
+   I'm not exactly a wiz at
+   machinery, you know...)

--------------------------------------------

*AFTER TALKING TO GUMSHOE*

Gumshoe:
 OK, I'm gonna run over to
 forensics.

Gumshoe:
 There's gotta be some traces
 of blood left, even if most of
 it has been wiped off.

Gumshoe:
 See you later, pal!

Gumshoe:
 */Every case is gonna be air
 tight... Every case is gonna
 be air tight...*/

Phoenix:
 *HOLD IT!*

Phoenix:
 Wait up, Detective!

Gumshoe:
 Huh? What is it, pal?
 I'm a pretty busy guy right
 now, you know.

Phoenix:
 You're going to get that
 staff analyzed, right?

Phoenix:
 Would you mind holding off
 for just a while?

Gumshoe:
 Huh? What are you talking
 about, pal!?

Phoenix:
 Please!

Phoenix:
 Just until we find Maya...

Gumshoe:
 Maya? What's this got to
 do with her?

Phoenix:
 I don't know, but I'm starting
 to get a really bad feeling in
 the pit of my stomach.

Gumshoe:
 Oh?
 How so?

Phoenix:
 Look, Maya's trapped
 inside the Sacred Cavern
 right now and...

Phoenix:
 Well, we don't even know if
 she's OK or not...

Phoenix:
 The more evidence and
 testimony I hear, the more
 uneasy I feel.

Gumshoe:
 Y-You don't think...?

Gumshoe:
 Maya's been murd--

Phoenix:
 Please, Detective!
 Let's just wait until we can
 get inside the Sacred Cavern.

Gumshoe:
 You're... looking kinda
 viridian there...

Phoenix:
 ...

Gumshoe:
 OK, OK.
 Just stop it with that
 face, pal.

Gumshoe:
 One thing, though...

Gumshoe:
 This staff's secret trick...
 Let's keep it between you
 and me, alright?

Gumshoe:
 If it gets out that we knew
 about it and didn't say
 anything, we're finished.

Phoenix:
 ...I understand.

Gumshoe:
 This is just a regular, run-
 of-the-mill staff, you got it?

Gumshoe:
 ...OK, now you take good care
 of it, pal.

Phoenix:
 Thank you, Detective.

Gumshoe:
 ...

Gumshoe:
 Don't worry... She'll be fine.

Phoenix:
 Gumshoe...

Gumshoe:
 You know, there's a place at
 the base of this mountain that
 has some really good pasta.

Gumshoe:
 How about I take you there
 when you find Maya, huh, pal?

Phoenix:
 Sure... Thanks...

*Victim's Staff received from
Detective Gumshoe for safe-
keeping.*

Phoenix:
 (I can't help but wonder,
 though...)

Phoenix:
 (What was Elise Deauxnim doing
 with a staff like this in the
 first place...?)

*** Victim's Staff *************************
*
* Gumshoe:
*   I still can't believe it, pal!
*   I'd never have guessed there

*
* Gumshoe:
*   Sure, there isn't any blood
*   left on it, but...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...there's a good chance this
*   is the murder weapon, pal!
*
* Phoenix:
*   But this is Ms. Deauxnim's
*   staff, right?
*
* Phoenix:
*   That would mean she was killed
*   with her own weapon.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*   I guess so.
*
* Phoenix:
*   And there's something else
*   that's bothering me, too.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   Oh? What's that, pal?
*
* Phoenix:
*   Ms. Deauxnim was an author and
*   an illustrator, right?
*
* Phoenix:
*   So what was she doing carrying
*   a sword around with her?
*
* Gumshoe:
*   ...
*
* Gumshoe:
*   That's a good question.
*
* Gumshoe:
*   And there's gotta be a good

*
* Gumshoe:
*   Good luck finding it, pal!

Heavenly Hall

Phoenix:
 Hmm... I was expecting Larry

Phoenix:

Phoenix:
 I suppose I'll have to check

*** ?????? profile *************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   Hey, Edgeworth...
*
* Phoenix:
*   Did you know that Iris had

*
* Edgeworth:
*   WHAT!?
*   A-A twin...?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   You can't be serious!
*
* Phoenix:
*   Sister Bikini told me.
*   But...
*
* Phoenix:
*   The problem is, she didn't
*   know the name of this twin.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   There was nothing about Iris
*   having a sister in the files
*   I checked.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Well, Iris was taken in by the
*   temple when she was really
*   young.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Apparently her sister was
*   raised by her father. A
*   jeweler, I think.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   A jeweler!?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*   Wright, I...
*
* Edgeworth:
*   I might just know who this
*   twin sister of hers is.
*
* Phoenix:
*   I had a feeling you'd say
*   that.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Let me guess...
*
* Phoenix:
*   Her name is Dahlia Hawthorne,
*   right?
*
* Edgeworth:
*   ...
*   Yes, exactly.
*
* Phoenix:
*   Please tell me what you know

*AFTER TALKING TO EDGEWORTH*

Phoenix:
 It seems you're not aware of
 one other connection yet,
 Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 And what is that?

Phoenix:
 It's about Iris and Dahlia
 Hawthorne's mother.

Edgeworth:
 What's their mother got to do
 with any of this?

Phoenix:
 She's Morgan Fey.

Phoenix:
 A spirit medium from a branch
 family of the Kurain
 Channeling Technique.

Edgeworth:
 ...
 Did you say, "Kurain
 Channeling Technique"...?

Phoenix:
 D-Do you know something
 about it?

Edgeworth:
 Oh, yes. I know it's connected
 with that fraudulent spirit
 medium!

Phoenix:
 (Fraudulent...?)

Edgeworth:
 I was involved in another
 nightmare, 17 years ago.

Edgeworth:
 I was caught up in the middle
 of a murder investigation. The
 police didn't have any leads.

Edgeworth:
 They were stumped...
 And that's when they called
 her in.

Edgeworth:
 She was a very famous spirit
 medium and the "Master"
 of her channeling school.

Edgeworth:
 But you know what happened?

Edgeworth:
 As a result of her efforts, an
 innocent man was accused of
 murder!

Edgeworth:
 She and her powers!
 They were all fraudulent!

Phoenix:
 ...Edgeworth...

Edgeworth:
 Go to the Police Records Room.
 It's all in there.

Edgeworth:
 All you have to do is check
 the DL-6 Incident case file
 and you'll know!

Phoenix:
 (Of course... How could I
 forget...)

Phoenix:
 (Edgeworth was the victim in
 that case.)

Phoenix:
 Edgeworth...
 You'll understand someday...

Phoenix:
 And then, you'll see that the
 Kurain Channeling Technique is
 real...

-- The Night of the Crime --

Phoenix:
 I think it's time you told the
 truth about what you were
 doing on that night.

Iris:
 ...

Phoenix:
 You said you were in your room
 at Hazakura Temple the entire
 time.

Phoenix:
 Do you still claim that to be
 the truth?

Iris:
 Yes...
 That's where I was.

Phoenix:
 Iris... I believe you're
 innocent.

Phoenix:
 That's why I want to believe
 what you're telling me, too.
 But I can't.

Phoenix:
 Because this person saw you
 somewhere else on the night
 of the murder!

*Present Bikini profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 I'm talking about
 Sister Bikini, of course.

Iris:
 Sister Bikini...

Phoenix:
 Her testimony in court today
 was very clear.

--------------------------------------------

Bikini:
 That night I was helping an
 acolyte with her training in
 the Inner Temple. But...

Bikini:
 Well, as you can see, my
 back likes to act up.
 Violently.

Bikini:
 So, I left Iris to help the
 acolyte, and returned to
 Hazakura Temple.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 Sister Bikini didn't just
 see you, she spoke with you.

Phoenix:
 You two talked about Maya's
 training that night.

Phoenix:
 So you see, Iris...

Phoenix:
 ...you were there at the Inner
 Temple on the night of the
 murder!

Iris:
 That's... very impressive,
 Mr. Wright.

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Iris:
 The acolyte's actual training
 was due to start after 10
 o'clock that night.

Iris:
 I left the Main Hall early, so
 I wouldn't be late.

Phoenix:
 What time was that?

Iris:
 Let me see...

Iris:
 It takes about 20 minutes to
 walk between the Main Hall
 and the Inner Temple.

Iris:
 So, I would've left at about
 9:40 PM, I think.

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 I'm sorry, Iris, but lying
 just doesn't suit you.

Iris:
 Huh?

Phoenix:
 Now, you say you left the Main
 Hall at 9:40 PM, but what you
 say doesn't add up with this!

xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

x   I had hoped you would get

x
x Iris:
x   I hate seeing you mess up and

*Present Iris's Hood or Iris's Testimony*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 You yourself testified to the
 contrary, don't you remember?

Phoenix:
 You said you rang the lights
 out bell at 10 o'clock that
 night.

Iris:
 Ah!

Phoenix:
 Plus, only moments before you
 rang that bell...

Phoenix:
 ...you were seen at the Main
 Hall by the most reliable
 witness I have.

Iris:
 Who's that?

Phoenix:
 Me.

Iris:
 Mr. Wright...

Phoenix:
 We even spoke a little that
 evening.

Phoenix:
 That's when you gave me this.

Phoenix:
 Surely you haven't
 forgotten?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 N-No... That's right.
 I remember...

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Phoenix:
 And that brings us to another
 puzzling fact, Iris.

Phoenix:
 At 10 o'clock on the night of
 the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...you were seen in two
 different places at the
 same time!

Iris:
 ...

Phoenix:
 It's time you told me exactly
 what's been going on, Iris.

Phoenix:
 So far, I've managed to prove
 two things.

Phoenix:
 First, on the night of the
 incident, you were at the
 Inner Temple.

Phoenix:
 And second, at the exact
 same time, you were ringing
 the bell at Hazakura Temple!

Phoenix:
 There's only one possible
 explanation for this apparent
 impossibility!

xxx You were at Hazakura Temple. xxxxxxxxxxx
x               OR
xxx You were at the Inner Temple. xxxxxxxxxx
x
x Phoenix:
x   There is only one of you,
x   Iris.
x
x Phoenix:
x   You couldn't possibly have
x   been in two places at once.
x
x Phoenix:
x   That being the case, you
x   were probably really at...
x
x Iris:
x   Mr. Wright?
x
x Phoenix:
x   Yes? What is it?
x
x Iris:
x   That's what I wanted to ask
x   you.
x
x Iris:
x   What was that "probably" you
x   just came out with?
x
x Phoenix:
x   I, umm... Well...
x
x Phoenix:
x   The problem is, you spoke to
x   witnesses at both the Main
x   Hall and the Inner Temple.
x
x Phoenix:
x   It's kind of hard to disprove
x   either sighting, but...
x
x Iris:
x   That's no position for a
x   lawyer to find himself in,
x   is it?
x
x Phoenix:
x   N-No...
x   (She got me there!)
x
x Iris:
x   It seems to me like there just
x   isn't a solution to this
x   puzzle.
x
x Iris:
x   It's probably best if you just
x   forget the whole thing,
x   Mr. Wright.
x
x Phoenix:
x   ...
x
x Phoenix:
x   I'm sorry, Iris, but I can't
x   do that.

********************************************

Phoenix:
 On the night of the incident,
 you were seen in two different
 places at the same time.

Phoenix:
 Which means, there must have
 been two of you.

Phoenix:
 I can't think of any other
 explanation, Iris.

Iris:
 B-But that's crazy!
 How could that be!?

Iris:
 There's only one of me!
 It's impossible!

Phoenix:
 Impossible?
 I wonder...

Phoenix:
 The way you're trembling
 certainly seems to suggest
 otherwise.

Iris:
 *gulp*

Iris:
 You're seriously trying to
 suggest there's more than one
 of me?

Iris:
 Then show me the evidence!
 Show me something that proves
 there is more than one of me!

x Phoenix:

x
x Iris:
x   ...
x   Err, Mr. Wright...
x
x Iris:
x   When you said there was
x   "another me"...
x
x Iris:
x   ...I was kind of expecting
x   someone who looked like me.
x   You know?
x
x Phoenix:
x   I... I guess so...
x
x Iris:
x   In that case, are you saying
x   that I look like this person?
x
x Phoenix:
x   Well, I can't say with 100%
x   certainty, but...
x
x Iris:
x   Can you show me something
x   you are 100% certain about
x   then...?
x
x Phoenix:
x   (I really need to get to the

x
x Phoenix:

x

*Present Dahlia Hawthorne profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 I have a firm grasp of the
 situation now, Iris.

Phoenix:
 You have a sister, don't you?
 A twin sister, perhaps?

Iris:
 Ah!

Phoenix:
 That's right.
 Dahlia Hawthorne.
 A woman I know only too well.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 I had no idea you knew of her.
 Very impressive, Mr. Wright.

Iris:
 But...
 She's no longer...

Phoenix:
 Yes, I know.

Phoenix:
 Her sentence was carried
 out recently, wasn't it...?

Iris:
 ...

Phoenix:
 I'm sorry.

Iris:
 Thank you.

Phoenix:
 There's no need to explain
 now, is there Iris?

Phoenix:
 This "second you" who was
 here at the temple on the
 night of the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...it was your twin sister,
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Iris:
 B-But you just said it
 yourself a second ago!

Iris:
 My sister's dead!
 Have you forgotten that?

Phoenix:
 Have you forgotten this, Iris?

Phoenix:
 This is a channeling dojo,
 a training ground of the
 Kurain Channeling Technique.

Iris:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 That night...

Phoenix:
 ...someone channeled Dahlia's
 spirit. And you knew about it!

Phoenix:
 And that's the secret you've
 been trying to hide from me!

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Aaaaaah!

*AFTER TALKING TO IRIS*

Phoenix:
 (I think I'm finally beginning
 to see how the pieces fit
 together...)

von Karma:
 ...I have asked her everything
 I can in my capacity as a
 prosecutor.

von Karma:
 This incident...

von Karma:
 Everything related to it
 goes back to the history
 of the Fey clan.

Phoenix:
 ...That's what it looks like.

Phoenix:
 Iris... There's just one more
 thing I want you to tell me.

Iris:
 What is it...?

Phoenix:
 During the incident in which
 your sister, Dahlia Hawthorne,
 poisoned a lawyer...

Phoenix:
 ...she began relations with a
 certain college student
 in order to hide the evidence.

Phoenix:
 That college student...
 Have you heard anything
 about him...?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Well...
 I did hear one thing...

Iris:
 She said she hated his guts.

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 ...I see.
 Thank you for your help.

Iris:
 You're welcome...

von Karma:
 Hurry up, Phoenix Wright!
 There is still much to
 investigate!

Iris:
 Leave these locks to me.
 I'll open them for you, I
 promise.

Phoenix:
 Thank you.
 (I suppose I'd better
 continue my investigation.)

Phoenix:
 (There's still one giant
 secret left to unlock...)

Phoenix:
 (Pearls's Psyche-Lock...)

MOVE TO: "Heavenly Hall"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 9
Heavenly Hall

Phoenix:
 (Look at that! They really
 did make a fire, right in
 front of the shack...)

Pearl:
 Oh! Mr. Nick!

Butz:
 Hah!
 You're too late, Nick!

Butz:
 If you came here for one of
 our potatoes, we've already
 polished them all off!

Phoenix:
 (I think I've pretty much got
 all the evidence I need.)

Phoenix:
 (Now I just need to find out
 what Pearls is hiding.)

-- The Night of the Crime --

Phoenix:
 After dinner on the night of
 the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...you were supposed to be in
 Elise Deauxnim's room, reading
 a book together, correct?

Pearl:
 Yes! I was so happy when she
 invited me!

Pearl:
 But...

Pearl:
 I didn't go in the end.

Phoenix:
 You didn't go...?

Pearl:
 ...

Pearl:
 No. There was somewhere else
 I had to go instead.

Pearl:
 I was so worried, I... I had
 to go.

Pearl:
 I didn't know what to do with
 myself. I was so nervous.

Phoenix:
 (So Pearls never went to
 Ms. Deauxnim's room...)

Phoenix:
 (Because she was too worried
 about something or someone
 else...)

Phoenix:
 ...Pearls.

Phoenix:
 On the night of the murder,
 you went to this place, didn't
 you...?

*Present Maya Fey profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 It's obvious what you were so
 worried about, Pearls.

Phoenix:
 It was Maya, wasn't it?

Pearl:
 Ah!

Phoenix:
 You knew the training Maya
 was undertaking was dangerous.

Phoenix:
 After all, it was the Special
 Course.

Pearl:
 ...

--------------------------------------------

Maya:
 I signed up for your
 "Special Course"!

Bikini:
 Well, my, my, my.
 Quite brave of you
 considering how cold it is!

Bikini:
 Young people can be so
 reckless with their health!

Bikini:
 Don't blame me if you become
 one with those you channel.
 Wa ha ha! Ho ho ho!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 Sister Bikini scared you with
 what she said, didn't she?

Phoenix:
 And because it was you who
 introduced Hazakura Temple
 to Maya in the first place...

Phoenix:
 ...you felt responsible,
 didn't you?

Pearl:
 ...

Pearl:
 Thinking about what could
 happen to Mystic Maya made
 me more and more worried...

Pearl:
 I couldn't sit still at all.

Pearl:
 That's why I decided to go
 and find out how she was
 doing at the Inner Temple.

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Phoenix:
 Then we're clear now that you
 went to the Inner Temple that
 night, Pearls.

Phoenix:
 What's not clear is what
 happened after that...

Pearl:
 Unngh...

Phoenix:
 About what time was it when
 you headed over to the Inner
 Temple?

Pearl:
 Um... It was probably around
 9:30 when I left the Main
 Hall.

Pearl:
 I heard the real training was
 supposed to start at 10.

Pearl:
 I wanted to get there before
 it started.

Pearl:
 But there was so much snow,
 so I didn't get there until
 after 10 o'clock.

Phoenix:
 Until after 10?
 How did you know what
 time it was?

Pearl:
 Because I heard the bell
 ringing for lights out.

Phoenix:
 (She heard the lights out
 bell...?)

Phoenix:
 The Hazakura Temple bell's
 pretty small though, isn't it?

Phoenix:
 You must have really good
 hearing.

Pearl:
 I... I was really trying to
 pick up the sound of that
 bell, that's all.

Pearl:
 I didn't want to miss it.</pre><pre id="faqspan-20">
 That would be terrible.

Phoenix:
 Why were you so worried about
 hearing that bell?

Pearl:
 Huh!?
 Oh! I...

Phoenix:
 I think I know why. The reason

Pearl:

Phoenix:
 In the incinerator at the

Phoenix:
 Pearls...

Phoenix:
 You were following the
 instructions in this letter
 that night, weren't you?

Phoenix:
 That's why you couldn't

Pearl:

 You're amazing!

Pearl:
 For me!? I... No...

Phoenix:

 portion has been burnt...

Phoenix:
 But the last section is still
 fairly legible.

Phoenix:
 "As soon as you hear the
 lights out bell, you must

Pearl:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Who was it, Pearls? Whose
 spirit were you supposed to
 be channeling?

Pearl:

 have been trying to channel?)

Phoenix:

Phoenix:
 Do you know what kind of a

Pearl:
 Umm... no.

Pearl:
 I've never heard of anyone

 those instructions...

Phoenix:
 (I thought so.
 Pearls doesn't have a clue.)

Phoenix:
 Who wrote them?

Pearl:
 Umm...

x Phoenix:

x
x Pearl:

x
x Pearl:
x   ...I don't think I can trust

*Present Morgan Fey profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 Pearls...

Phoenix:
 I have to wonder about
 something...

Phoenix:
 You didn't have any idea what
 these instructions meant, did
 you?

Pearl:
 ...*ba-dump*

Phoenix:
 But you followed them to the
 letter regardless.

Phoenix:
 Why? Because it was your
 own mother who asked you.
 That's why.

Pearl:
 H-How did you...?

Phoenix:
 I figured it out.

Phoenix:
 The person who wrote you this
 letter was your own mother,
 Morgan Fey!

Pearl:
 Uh...

Pearl:
 Waaaaaaaah!

*1 LOCK BROKEN*

Phoenix:
 Alright, Pearls! It's time you
 started telling me the truth.

Pearl:
 M-M-Mr. N-Nick...
 I-I-I...

Phoenix:
 (Why's she holding back from
 me? I don't like this...)

Pearl:
 D-D-Don't underestimate m-me,
 j-just because I'm a ch-child!

Phoenix:
 Huh?

Pearl:
 If you're trying to say I
 followed these instructions...

Pearl:
 I'd l-like to see some proof!

Phoenix:
 Whaaaat!?

Pearl:
 Because... I...
 I d-don't think y-y-you
 have a-a-any!

Phoenix:
 Nnnnnngh...

Phoenix:
 (She'd say anything rather
 than admit to carrying out
 those instructions...)

Phoenix:
 (I guess I'll have to produce
 some more evidence, then. One
 more thing should do it.)

Phoenix:
 ...Alright, Pearls.

Phoenix:
 We both know someone carried
 out these instructions on the
 night of the murder.

Phoenix:
 But you're right. There's no
 evidence that proves it was
 you.

Pearl:
 I-I-I knew it!

Phoenix:
 However...

Phoenix:
 I do know that whoever did
 it was a child.

Pearl:
 Huh?
 H-How do you know that!?

Phoenix:
 It couldn't have been an
 adult...

Phoenix:
 No adult would've made a
 simple mistake like that.

Pearl:
 A... simple mistake? What
 do you mean by that?

Phoenix:
 I'm sure you thought you
 were carefully following the
 instructions you'd been given.

Phoenix:
 But you misunderstood some
 of the words, and this is the
 evidence that proves it!

x Pearl:

*Present Hanging Scroll*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 It was you who splattered
 gravy on this hanging scroll,
 wasn't it?

Pearl:
 Ah!

Pearl:
 Wh-What!?
 Wh-Why would I d-do
 something like...?

Phoenix:
 Do you remember what was
 written in that letter?

Phoenix:
 "Gravely roast the Master in
 the fires of Hades and bring
 our vengeance to fruition."

Phoenix:
 But you didn't know how to
 read the words "gravely" and
 "roast" among others, right?

Pearl:
 H-How do you know that!?

Phoenix:
 Remember the conversation
 you had with Ms. Deauxnim on
 the night of the murder...?

--------------------------------------------

Elise:
 Perhaps we can read some
 books together.

Pearl:
 R-Really!?
 I'd love to!

Pearl:
 I, umm...
 I'm not very good at reading.

Elise:
 Ha ha ha.
 Well then, would you like to
 practice reading with me?

Pearl:
 Um, Ms. Elise?
 So, for example, how do you
 read this?

Elise:
 It says, "gravely"...
 That's kind of a tough word.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 Sure, Ms. Deauxnim taught you
 how to read "gravely" and
 "roast".

Phoenix:
 But what she didn't teach
 you...

Phoenix:
 ...is what they meant!

Pearl:
 "Gravely" sounded like "gravy"
 to me, and the only "roast" I
 could think of was the food...

Phoenix:
 And that's why you did it...

Phoenix:
 That's why you covered the
 picture of the Master in gravy
 from that night's pot roast.

Pearl:
 ...
 To be honest...

Pearl:
 I did think it was a bit
 strange.

Pearl:
 I guess I really did get
 the wrong idea...

Phoenix:
 Just a tiny bit.

Pearl:
 I... I really am useless!

Pearl:
 I didn't even manage to burn
 the letter properly as my
 mother had asked of me...

Pearl:
 Such a simple thing...
 And I couldn't even do
 it right...

*AFTER TALKING TO PEARL*

Phoenix:
 Thanks, Pearls.
 You really helped me out.

Pearl:
 You're very welcome!

Pearl:
 My mother is watching
 over us!

Pearl:
 So I'm sure Mystic Maya
 will be alright!

Phoenix:
 ...
 (Look at that innocent smile
 on her face.)

Phoenix:
 (What am I supposed to say
 to her?)

? ? ?:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 Finally figured it out, have
 you, Trite?

Godot:
 You've finally realized how
 terrible of a crime being
 painfully oblivious is.

Phoenix:
 G-Godot!

Godot:
 The entrance to the Sacred
 Cavern looks like a freaking
 puzzle workshop.

Phoenix:
 (I guess he's talking about
 Iris and the lock-breaking
 effort...)

Godot:
 ...But it's all a waste
 of time.

Phoenix:
 W-Why do you say that?

Godot:
 Because Maya Fey isn't coming
 back.

Phoenix:
 What?

Phoenix:
 You don't know what you're
 talking about! How can you say
 something like that?

Godot:
 It was your job to protect
 her, Trite.

Godot:
 Just like it was your job to
 protect Mia Fey...

Godot:
 Two sisters, caught up in the
 worst circumstances.

Phoenix:
 I... I realize that, but...

Godot:
 And you were the only one
 who was by their sides.

Godot:
 You were the only one who
 could have saved them.

Phoenix:
 But I didn't know anything
 about what was going on!

Godot:
 Ha...!
 What did I just say, Trite?

Godot:
 Being oblivious is a heinous
 crime in itself.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 Tomorrow...

Godot:
 We'll settle everything in
 court tomorrow.
 ...Once and for all.

--------------------------------------------

Pearl:
 M-Mr. Nick...

Pearl:
 Is... Is what that man just
 said true?

Phoenix:
 It'll be alright, Pearls.

Phoenix:
 I'm sure Maya's alive.
 You'll see for yourself
 tomorrow!

Pearl:
 I... Yeah! That's right!

Pearl:
 I know I can trust you,
 Mr. Nick!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Morgan:
    ...My dear Pearl...

Morgan:
 ...You've done so well, my
            child. My Pearl...

Morgan:
 ...It's better that you don't
            know...

Morgan:
 ...I knew this day would come
               for you...

Morgan:
 ...The blood of the main
      family is no more...

Morgan:
 ...Now you... You are to take
        the place at the head
     of the Fey clan...

Morgan:
 ...My last, great wish...
          It seems I was
                just in time...


                                            To be continued.

District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

Pearl:
 Good morning!
 ...Oh? Are you by yourself?

Phoenix:
 Ah... Morning, Pearls.

Pearl:
 M-Mr. Nick! Please tell me!
 What's going to happen to
 Mystic Maya?

Phoenix:
 I'm sorry...
 We don't know yet.

Phoenix:
 The investigation is still
 going on, so I wasn't allowed
 into the Inner Temple.

Pearl:
 Oh, I see...

Pearl:
 So is Sister Iris still trying
 to remove those trick locks
 in the Training Hall?

Phoenix:
 No... She's the defendant
 in this case, so she can't
 be at the Inner Temple.

Phoenix:
 She's required to be
 here in court.

Pearl:
 Um... Then...
 How come she's not here
 in the defendant's lobby?

Phoenix:
 (I have to admit it's
 kinda strange...)

? ? ?:
 ...If you're looking for Iris,
 she's in the prosecutor's
 lobby.

Phoenix:
 ...Ed-Edgeworth.

Phoenix:
 What's Iris doing over there?

Edgeworth:
 She's going over today's
 testimony with the prosecutor
 as we speak.

Phoenix:
 Today's testimony...?

Edgeworth:
 You heard me...

Edgeworth:
 Iris is going to be
 testifying as a witness
 for the prosecution.

Phoenix:
 Wait, what!?

Edgeworth:
 The prosecutor is squeezing
 her for a confession.
 ...Or so I heard.

Phoenix:
 (Franziska von Karma...
 What are you up to...?)

Edgeworth:
 I know what you're thinking,
 but Franziska isn't going to
 be the prosecutor today.

Phoenix:
 What...!?
 Then who is?

Edgeworth:
 Who else would it be but
 Godot?

Phoenix:
 G-Godot...

Edgeworth:
 ...Franziska is engaged in
 some important work at
 the Sacred Cavern.

Pearl:
 The Sacred Cavern...?
 You don't mean that she's...

Edgeworth:
 Exactly.

Edgeworth:
 She has been out there all
 night, trying to remove those
 trick locks.

Edgeworth:
 With the head nun's
 assistance, naturally.

Edgeworth:
 We estimate that the last of
 the locks should be taken
 care of in about three hours.

Edgeworth:
 I hope everything continues to
 go smoothly and we receive
 some good news soon.

Phoenix:
 Yeah... Thanks, Edgeworth.

Edgeworth:
 Prosecutor Godot intends to
 nail this case shut today.

Edgeworth:
 Be prepared to fight
 like there's no tomorrow!

Phoenix:
 ...You don't have to tell
 me that.

Edgeworth:
 I know.
 I can already see it in
 your eyes.

Edgeworth:
 You're not the same
 fever-ridden, frantic maniac
 you were yesterday.

Phoenix:
 It's strange... On the way
 here, I decided that today
 would be the end of all this.

Phoenix:
 Almost immediately after I
 made that decision, I felt
 myself getting stronger.

Edgeworth:
 Interesting...

Edgeworth:
 Maybe you've passed your
 cold onto someone else,
 literally.

Edgeworth:
 And with that...

Edgeworth:
 I leave the rest in your
 capable hands... partner.

Phoenix:
 Thanks...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (...I still don't have answers
 for most of the riddles
 plaguing this case.)

Phoenix:
 (The circumstances around the
 murder of Ms. Elise Deauxnim,
 no, I mean Ms. Misty Fey...)

Phoenix:
 (The impossible flight Larry
 claims to have seen...)

Phoenix:
 (And... What that woman is
 really after...)

Phoenix:
 I will solve them all and
 bring this whole tragedy
 to an end!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 10, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 7

Judge:
 Court is now in session
 for the trial of Iris of
 Hazakura Temple.

Godot:
 ...

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Umm... Your Honor...?
 Wh-What are you...?

Judge:
 Who? Me?

Judge:
 Well, my little brother came
 to visit me in my chambers
 earlier this morning.

Judge:
 All of a sudden, in the blink
 of an eye, he developed a
 scorching fever and fainted!

Judge:
 Therefore, I'll be standing
 in for him.

Phoenix:
 I-I see, Your Honor...
 (So they're brothers!
 That explains a lot...)

Judge:
 My poor brother. He looked a
 bit pale, not to mention sad
 that he couldn't be here.

Godot:
 It is impossible to predict
 what the future has in store
 for any of us.

Godot:
 This is precisely why people
 feel the need to judge the
 past.

Godot:
 And we of the court have been
 charged with the solemn duty
 of passing such judgment.

Judge:
 ...Well said, Mr. Godot.

Judge:
 I understood exactly what
 you said... at least up until
 the end, anyway.

Judge:
 Now then, Mr. Godot.
 Please proceed with your
 opening statement.

Godot:
 ...Humans are fragile, fickle
 beings. Our hearts change with
 the shifting of the tides.

Godot:
 There is only one thing
 that remains a constant
 in this crazy world...

Godot:
 The bitter darkness that lies
 at the bottom of this mug.

Judge:
 So then you mean...?
 Um... Forget it.
 What do you mean?

Godot:
 During yesterday's trial,
 the accused refused to admit
 her role in the crime.

Godot:
 But today, she has had a
 change of heart...

Godot:
 Sister Iris of Hazakura Temple
 has a confession to make.

Judge:
 C-Confession...!
 Th-The defendant...?

Phoenix:
 (Iris...)

Phoenix:
 (Why didn't she discuss this
 with me first...?)

Judge:
 Very well.

Judge:
 This court will now hear the
 defendant's confession!

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 ...Upon meeting a beautiful
 lady, always ask for her
 name and profession.

Godot:
 That's one of my rules.

Iris:
 ...Um, my name is Iris.

Iris:
 I am but a simple nun
 undergoing training at
 Hazakura Temple.

Judge:
 Witness, is there something
 that you want to confess to?

Iris:
 ...Yes. But first, I want to
 apologize to Mr. Wright...

Iris:
 I... I can't continue lying
 to everyone anymore.

Phoenix:
 I-It's alright...
 What is it...?

Iris:
 Mr. Wright, I have to admit
 that I... I did play a part in
 this terrible incident.

Judge:
 Are...
 Are you actually confessing!?

Judge:
 Are you saying that you were
 the one who murdered Ms. Elise
 Deauxnim?

Iris:
 ...No, I'm not, Your Honor.

Iris:
 But I dealt with the cover
 up, after the murder took
 place.

Iris:
 After her spirit left,
 I took the lifeless shell
 of Mystic Elise...

Iris:
 ...and carried it to the
 Hazakura Temple Courtyard
 where I desecrated it.

Judge:
 Wh...
 Whaaaat!?

Judge:
 O-Order in the court! Order!

Judge:
 W-Witness...!
 Are you...

Judge:
 Are you saying you were an
 accomplice to the murder!?

Iris:
 ...
 Yes. That's correct.

Phoenix:
 ...Whaaaaaaat!?

Phoenix:
 (Three minutes in court and
 I'm already covered in a cold
 sweat...)

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Everyone on the planet is
 an accomplice to something.

Godot:
 It just happens to be that
 in this case, it's to murder.

Godot:
 Isn't that right...
 Mr. Trite?

Phoenix:
 (Grrr, that Godot...)

Phoenix:
 (So this is the confession
 they were conferring about!)

Phoenix:
 (It pains me to say this...)

Phoenix:
 (...but it looks like Iris's
 testimony was all a lie.)

*Iris's Testimony crumpled up
and shoved into a pocket.*

Godot:
 Now then, little lady.
 If you don't mind, I've got
 a question for you.

Godot:
 Whose crime were you trying
 to cover up by your actions?

Phoenix:
 (Iris was covering for
 someone...?)

Phoenix:
 (Nngh... Now I'm definitely
 up the creek without a
 paddle... or a lifejacket.)

Iris:
 ...I've been at Hazakura
 Temple ever since I was
 a little girl.

Iris:
 Hazakura Temple is run by one
 of the branch families of the
 Kurain Tradition.

Iris:
 One of our missions is to
 protect the main family.

Judge:
 I'm sorry, but
 "main family"...?

Iris:
 Yes, and that's why I would
 dirty myself, if need be, to
 protect her...

Iris:
 The daughter of the Master
 of the Kurain Channeling
 Technique, Mystic Maya Fey!

Phoenix:
 Huh...?

Godot:
 Wake up and smell the coffee,
 Trite.

Phoenix:
 Sh-She's naming...
 MAYAAAAAAAAA!?

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!

Judge:
 So not only did you witness
 the murder... You know the
 name of the murderer!

Iris:
 I'm terribly sorry...
 But it's true.

Iris:
 I saw her commit the crime
 with my very own eyes...

Iris:
 And then I cleaned up the
 area to try to protect her.

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Th-That's ridiculous!
 Maya could never do
 such a--

Judge:
 The defense will refrain from
 commenting until the
 appropriate time.

Judge:
 Now, witness.
 Let's hear your testimony.

Judge:
 What exactly happened on
 the night of the crime?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 ...Yes, Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 (I thought I was prepared
 for the unexpected...)

Phoenix:
 (But I never imagined the
 case would wind up going
 in this direction...)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Real Murderer --

(1)
Iris:
 I went to the Inner Temple
 that night and I saw it all
 happen in the garden.

(2)
Iris:
 I saw Mystic Elise strike
 Mystic Maya with her staff!

(3)
Iris:
 While Mystic Maya was still
 stumbling, Mystic Elise moved
 in to deliver a fatal strike!

(4)
Iris:
 Mystic Maya tried desperately
 to defend herself and stole
 the weapon...!

(5)
Iris:
 It was only in self-defense!
 You can't blame her for it!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 So it was in self-defense?

Iris:
 Yes. Mystic Elise was the one
 who attacked first!

Judge:
 Hmm...

Iris:
 That's why I tried my best
 to protect Mystic Maya!

Godot:
 You moved the victim's body
 to the temple so that Maya
 wouldn't be suspected...

Godot:
 Isn't that right?
 Not bad... You've got the
 instincts of a true criminal.

Phoenix:
 (Something's not quite right.
 I'm sure it was established
 yesterday...)

Phoenix:
 (...that Iris never went to
 the Inner Temple that night.)

Phoenix:
 (And that the person who did
 go was... that woman...)

Phoenix:
 (...Iris even admitted it.)

Judge:
 Now then, Mr. Wright.
 Please proceed with your
 cross-examination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Real Murderer --

(1)
Iris:
 I went to the Inner Temple
 that night and I saw it all
 happen in the garden.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Sister Iris! Your testimony
      has changed quite a bit
      since yesterday.

    Phoenix:
      You stated yesterday that, on
      the night of the murder, you
      didn't go to the Inner Temple.

    Godot:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Godot:
      Did she now? Too bad for you,
      what she said yesterday
      doesn't mean much today.

    Godot:
      By the way, where were you
      when she claimed that she
      didn't go?

    Phoenix:
      Umm, I... It was in the Inner
      Temple's Training Hall...

    Godot:
      A private conversation between
      the two of you does not
      constitute testimony.

    Godot:
      That would be properly
      described as hearsay.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      What do you have to say,
      witness?

    Iris:
      I-I just couldn't tell him
      the truth at that time.

    Iris:
      Mystic Maya...
      She's your girlfriend,
      isn't she?

    Phoenix:
      ...!

    Iris:
      I... I didn't want to be the
      one to break it to you that I
      saw her commit murder...

    Judge:
      There, there...
      We all understand how
      difficult this is for you.

    Judge:
      Now then, let's continue
      with the testimony.

    Judge:
      What did you witness in
      the temple garden...?

    Iris:
      Well, Your Honor...

(2)
Iris:
 I saw Mystic Elise strike
 Mystic Maya with her staff!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      You're saying that the
      victim attacked Maya...
      I mean Ms. Fey?

    Iris:
      Y-Yes... It was a
      truly frightening scene.

    Iris:
      Mystic Maya was struck hard
      on the head and looked like
      she was going to collapse.

    Phoenix:
      What were you doing
      at the time?

    Iris:
      Um...

    Phoenix:
      Why didn't you stop
      them from fighting!?

    Iris:
      I-I'm terribly sorry,
      Mr. Wright...

    Iris:
      I was... I was frightened...
      I couldn't move...

    Iris:
      I couldn't even speak,
      I was in such shock...

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      That's perfectly
      understandable, my dear.

    Phoenix:
      (This doesn't sound right...)

    Phoenix:
      (I don't believe this
      testimony for a minute!)

    Judge:
      ...What happened after that?

(3)
Iris:
 While Mystic Maya was still
 stumbling, Mystic Elise moved
 in to deliver a fatal strike!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      She moved in to deliver a
      fatal strike?

    Iris:
      ...Yes, I'm sure of it.

    Iris:
      She threw down her staff and
      reached into her robe for
      a weapon...

    Phoenix:
      Wait a minute!
      What was this weapon...?

    Iris:
      It-It was...
      some kind of dagger.

    Phoenix:
      (A dagger, huh...?)

    Phoenix:
      And Elise Deauxnim tried to
      stab her with this weapon?

    Phoenix:
      ...To kill Ms. Fey?

    Iris:
      Yes... Exactly.

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Godot:
      Ha...!

    Godot:
      You look like I did after I
      mistakenly took a swig of
      Worcestershire sauce.

    Phoenix:
      ...!

    Godot:
      Do you have a problem with
      the testimony we're hearing
      from your client, Lawyer Boy?

    Phoenix:
      (Hmm... Do I have a problem
      with Iris's testimony...?)

    *** No problem *****************************

    * Iris:
    *   Y-Yes, sir.

    *   H-Hey! Just a moment!
    *   It's my job to say that...

(3b)
Iris:
 She threw her staff away
 and pulled a dagger from
 inside her robe!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      She threw her staff away?

    Iris:
      Mystic Elise was trying to
      kill Mystic Maya.

    Iris:
      I think that's why she wanted
      a more lethal weapon.

    Judge:
      It's true...
      It's not easy to inflict a
      deadly blow with a staff.

    Phoenix:
      Sister Iris, let me make
      sure I've got this straight.

    Phoenix:
      The victim herself chose to
      throw away her staff?

    Iris:
      Y-Yes.
      That's what I saw...

    Judge:
      Is there anything odd
      about that, Mr. Wright?

    Phoenix:
      ...
      (Yeah, it's odd alright.)

    Iris:
      Mystic Elise attacked Mystic
      Maya with the dagger. I'm
      sure of this.

(4)
Iris:
 Mystic Maya tried desperately
 to defend herself and stole
 the weapon...!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      ...And then?

    Iris:
      Mystic Maya, she turned things
      around and then...

    Iris:
      ...she used the weapon she
      had taken and lunged forward
      for a strike!

    Judge:
      W-Witness! Are you
      absolutely certain!?

    Iris:
      Yes...
      B-But believe me, she
      had no choice!

    Iris:
      If Mystic Maya hadn't done
      something...

    Godot:
      ...Maya Fey's name would've
      been written on this autopsy
      report instead.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      Yes, I see...

    Phoenix:
      (This is bad...)

    Phoenix:
      (I still can't put the
      pieces together...)

    Phoenix:
      (Unless I find a contradiction
      in her testimony, Maya's going
      to get blamed for this.)

    Iris:
      I...
      I only have this to say...

(5)
Iris:
 It was only in self-defense!
 You can't blame her for it!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      ...So you're saying Maya Fey
      was the one who stabbed
      Ms. Elise Deauxnim.

    Phoenix:
      Sister Iris! Is that really
      what you saw?

    Iris:
      Yes...

    Godot:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Godot:
      Tsk, tsk, tsk, Trite.

    Godot:
      If your mug is filled with
      black and bitter suspicions...

    Godot:
      The only way to get rid of
      them is to drink them down
      quick...

    Godot:
      ...Like this!

    Phoenix:
      Umm...
      I know that's supposed be a
      metaphor, but I don't get it.

    Godot:
      There's only one thing you
      need to "get", Trite.
      It's called evidence...

    Godot:
      Now hurry up...
      Before my next cup gets cold!

    Phoenix:
      (What does that mean...?)

    Phoenix:
      (Is Godot waiting for me to
      point out the contradictions?)

    Iris:
      ...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I'd like to avoid the whole
 spirit channeling thing if I
 can...)

Phoenix:
 (Not only would it be
 inadmissible as evidence...)

Phoenix:
 (...but I think it might
 actually hurt our standing
 with the judge.)

Phoenix:
 (First I need to pick her
 testimony apart and expose the
 unnatural-sounding parts...)

Phoenix:
 (I don't know why Iris would
 tell a story like this...)

Phoenix:
 (...but there are two things
 I noticed that just don't
 add up!)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Victim's Staff* at (3b)

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Sister Iris...

Phoenix:
 There's something strange
 about your version of events.

Iris:
 Huh...?

Phoenix:
 Ms. Deauxnim throwing her
 staff away makes no sense
 at all to me.

Iris:
 B-But all you can do with
 a staff is hit someone...

Phoenix:
 Naturally you wouldn't know
 this, Sister Iris, but...

Phoenix:
 ...the victim's staff had a
 special feature about it.

Phoenix:
 As you can see,
 it's a sword.

Iris:
 Ah...!

Phoenix:
 If Elise Deauxnim really had
 wanted to kill Maya Fey...

Phoenix:
 ...she wouldn't have needed
 to use a separate dagger!

Phoenix:
 Not when she already had a
 beautiful blade in her hands
 already!

Phoenix:
 ...Well, Sister Iris?
 What do you have to say?

Iris:
 Uhh, err, I...

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 ...That was an impressive
 bit of investigating, Trite.

Godot:
 I never would have thought
 there was a sword hidden
 in that staff.

Godot:
 But even so...
 How should I put this?

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 A long sword is unwieldy,
 and thus quite ineffective
 in close-quarters combat.

Godot:
 Maybe that's why she chose
 a dagger over her blade.

Phoenix:
 Um, well...

Godot:
 Anyway, the type of weapon
 she chose to use isn't what's
 important.

Godot:
 The important thing is that
 she tried to kill Maya Fey.

Godot:
 As long as there's nothing
 strange about that, there's no
 problem with her testimony.

Phoenix:
 (But there is something
 strange about this whole
 testimony!)

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Wright?
 The prosecution has a point.

Phoenix:
 ...Very well, Your Honor.
 The defense will now present
 evidence to back its argument.

Iris:
 M-Mr. Wright...!

Phoenix:
 I have here another piece of
 evidence that shows that this
 testimony can't be trusted.

Phoenix:
 Because Ms. Elise Deauxnim
 would never attempt to take
 the life of Maya Fey!

*Present Elise Deauxnim profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 ...Elise Deauxnim would never
 have attacked Maya Fey.

Iris:
 Ho-How can you be so sure...?

Phoenix:
 Because the victim's real
 name was not "Elise Deauxnim".

Phoenix:
 Her real name was...
 "Misty Fey".

Judge:
 ..."Fey"?

Iris:
 Aaah! N-No...!
 N-Not Mystic Misty Fey!

Judge:
 Wh-Who is this Misty Fey?
 Is she related to...?

Phoenix:
 Misty Fey is the Master of
 the Kurain Channeling
 Technique. She is also...

Phoenix:
 ...the mother of Maya Fey!

Judge:
 A-Are you serious!?

Iris:
 Is it... really true?
 Mr. Wright...!?

Iris:
 Was Elise Deauxnim actually
 the great Mystic Misty!?

Phoenix:
 There's no doubt about it.

Phoenix:
 (It looks like Iris had no
 idea...)

Iris:
 I can hardly believe it...

Phoenix:
 The idea that she would try to
 kill her only daughter, one
 she hadn't seen in 17 years...

Phoenix:
 Perhaps the prosecution can
 offer some explanation for why
 she would do such a thing!

Godot:
 ...Ugh...!

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!

Judge:
 Upon first hearing the
 witness's testimony, it
 seemed natural enough.

Judge:
 ...However.

Judge:
 In light of some facts that
 have just been presented...

Iris:
 ...

Judge:
 One, that the victim
 supposedly threw away a sword
 during a fight...

Judge:
 ...and two, that the two
 people battling to the death
 were mother and daughter...

Judge:
 Despite the facts being
 believable when taken on their
 own...

Judge:
 ...when taken together, the
 entire story seems difficult
 to believe.

Godot:
 ...Listen. There's nothing in
 this world that is impossible.

Godot:
 Except for one little thing.

Judge:
 Yes? What is this one little
 impossible thing...?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 You still don't get it.

Godot:
 You think maybe my beans
 are under-roasted, but you
 have no idea gramps.

Phoenix:
 Umm...
 Could you get to your point?

Godot:
 I heard this witness's
 confession this morning...

Godot:
 ...just as I had taken the
 first sip of my eighth cup
 of morning coffee.

Judge:
 ...You're going to ruin your
 health, my friend.

Godot:
 Anyway, after hearing this
 woman's confession...

Godot:
 I had a detective who loves to
 investigate sent to the scene
 of the crime.

Godot:
 And... he discovered this
 little beauty.

Judge:
 Is that the dagger the witness
 testified to seeing...?

Godot:
 Obviously, Your Honor...
 But do you not notice
 something else?

Judge:
 ...Now that you mention it,
 if you look closely, there
 appears to be a bloodstain!

Phoenix:
 Wh-Where did you find that?

Phoenix:
 I didn't see that when I
 investigated the crime scene!

Godot:
 ...Did you investigate the
 pine tree at the crime scene?

Phoenix:
 Huh? The pine tree...?

Godot:
 This dagger was stuck in the
 back side of the pine tree.

Godot:
 When the last blow was struck,
 ending the violent battle
 between the two women...

Godot:
 ...this little baby was thrown
 in the direction of the back
 of the pine tree.

Judge:
 Which means... the blood on
 this dagger belongs to the
 victim, correct!?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Were you even listening,
 old man?

Godot:
 I first heard this confession
 this morning.

Godot:
 Just as I had taken the first
 sip of my 13th cup of morning
 coffee.

Phoenix:
 (Didn't you say it was your
 8th just a few minutes ago!?)

Godot:
 I didn't have enough time
 to get the blood analyzed
 on such short notice.

Judge:
 In any case, the court will
 accept the dagger as evidence.

Judge:
 Furthermore, I order that a
 blood test be performed on it
 immediately!

Godot:
 This is my sweetheart.
 Make sure you treat her right.

Judge:
 ...Bailiff! Get this piece of
 evidence to the crime lab
 for testing immediately!

*Dagger added to the
Court Record.*

Judge:
 Now then...

Judge:
 The testimony we've just
 heard had numerous
 unbelievable aspects to it.

Judge:
 However! After having
 found the very dagger the
 witness spoke of...

Judge:
 ...I believe we can consider
 her testimony to be credible.

Godot:
 Cute girls never lie. Ever.

Judge:
 In any case, witness...
 If you could please testify
 again to this court.

Iris:
 Umm...
 About what, Your Honor?

Judge:
 About the incident you saw...
 The battle between the two
 women!

Iris:
 ...Yes, Your Honor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Battle --

(1)
Iris:
 Mystic Maya stumbled briefly
 after being hit over the head
 with the staff...

(2)
Iris:
 But then she dodged
 Mystic Elise's next attack
 and stole her weapon!

(3)
Iris:
 Suddenly Mystic Elise was the
 one on the defensive, with her
 back to the stone lantern.

(4)
Iris:
 That's when Mystic Maya
 stabbed Mystic Elise!

(5)
Iris:
 Mystic Elise managed to fling
 the knife away, but then...
 Then... she collapsed.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 ...That was a very heart-
 breaking story.

Iris:
 I don't know if there were
 any bad feelings between
 them, but...

Iris:
 It had been 17 years since
 Mystic Misty's disappearance.

Iris:
 ...Perhaps they simply
 didn't recognize each
 other anymore...

Judge:
 Hmm...
 That seems reasonable.

Judge:
 Now then, Mr. Wright.
 Proceed with your
 cross-examination.

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Battle --

(1)
Iris:
 Mystic Maya stumbled briefly
 after being hit over the head
 with the staff...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Iris, where were you standing
      when you witnessed all this?

    Iris:
      Umm... What do you mean?

    Phoenix:
      Well, if either of them
      had noticed you...

    Phoenix:
      ...they might not have
      continued their battle.

    Iris:
      I...
      I wonder if that's true...

    Iris:
      The two of them...
      They were standing near the
      garden's stone lantern.

    Iris:
      I... I was watching the whole
      thing from behind.

    Iris:
      It was dark where the two of
      them were, so...

    Iris:
      I think that's why they didn't
      see me.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      So it was dark in the garden
      when the murder took place...

    Judge:
      Tell me, what did Ms. Maya Fey
      do after she was struck?

(2)
Iris:
 But then she dodged
 Mystic Elise's next attack
 and stole her weapon!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      What happened to the
      victim's staff then?

    Iris:
      I-I'm not sure.

    Iris:
      The area was very dark, so...
      I really couldn't see.

    Iris:
      I think it got knocked
      away somewhere as the
      fight escalated.

    Judge:
      That makes sense...

    Judge:
      That would explain the
      need for the dagger.

    Iris:
      Mystic Elise raised the
      dagger to strike.

    Iris:
      But Mystic Maya dodged it
      at the last second.

    Iris:
      The dagger struck the lantern
      and fell to the ground.

    Iris:
      And then at some point,
      Mystic Maya picked it up...!

    Phoenix:
      (Nothing sounds especially
      strange yet...)

    Judge:
      What did the victim do when
      the weapon was stolen
      from her?

(3)
Iris:
 Suddenly Mystic Elise was the
 one on the defensive, with her
 back to the stone lantern.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      You're saying that Maya Fey
      turned the tables on the
      victim?

    Iris:
      Y-Yes...

    Iris:
      ...But Mystic Maya wasn't
      herself at the time.

    Iris:
      After all...
      Her life was in danger...

    Phoenix:
      (I still can't believe it...)

    Phoenix:
      (The idea of Maya cornering
      someone at knifepoint!
      It's just silly!)

    Godot:
      As they say...
      "A cornered fox is more
      dangerous than a jackal".

    Phoenix:
      I believe the correct
      description of a cornered fox
      is "scared and petrified".

    Godot:
      ...

    Godot:
      Your animal analogies have
      grown tiresome!

    Phoenix:
      (You were the one who
      started it!)

    Judge:
      Anyway...

    Judge:
      So, after Maya Fey backed the
      victim into the stone lantern,
      what happened next?

(4)
Iris:
 That's when Mystic Maya
 stabbed Mystic Elise!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Are you absolutely certain
      that's what you saw!?

    Iris:
      ...

    Iris:
      Yes, I'm almost certain.

    Phoenix:
      "Almost"...?

    Iris:
      The garden was dark...

    Iris:
      I couldn't really tell
      who was who.

    Phoenix:
      (What did she just say!?)

    Phoenix:
      S-So in other words, it
      could have been someone
      else entirely...!

    Godot:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Godot:
      We know that Maya Fey
      was at the Inner Temple
      that night.

    Godot:
      And that the woman that
      was killed was Elise Deauxnim.

    Godot:
      Isn't it fairly obvious who
      attacked who?

    Phoenix:
      Nnrgh...
      (I don't have anything to
      counter that yet...)

    Judge:
      ...Well then, witness.
      Please continue with
      your testimony.

    Iris:
      ...Yes, Your Honor.

    Iris:
      The two of them faced each
      other for a moment...

    Iris:
      Then Mystic Maya rushed
      straight into Mystic Elise!

    Iris:
      Then Mystic Elise doubled
      over and fell to the ground.

    Judge:
      Hmm...
      So she was stabbed in
      the stomach, huh?

    Iris:
      Yes...

(5)
Iris:
 Mystic Elise managed to fling
 the knife away, but then...
 Then... she collapsed.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Where did that dagger go?

    Iris:
      ...I have no idea.
      It was dark and I
      couldn't see.

    Godot:
      According to the detective
      who found the dagger...

    Godot:
      ...it was stuck into the pine
      tree in the garden.

    Godot:
      Most likely it was flung
      towards the tree after
      the stuggle.

    Judge:
      That is the most likely
      explanation, yes.

    Phoenix:
      After being stabbed in the
      stomach, did the victim
      collapse right away?

    Iris:
      ...

    Iris:
      Now that I think of it...

    Iris:
      ...she seemed to stare at
      Mystic Maya for a while.

    Iris:
      And Mystic Maya stood there,
      not moving an inch...

    Iris:
      It felt for a moment like
      time had just stopped.

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    Iris:
      But then, suddenly, as if
      the spell had worn off,
      Mystic Elise fell over...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (It seems like a reasonable
 story at first...)

Phoenix:
 (But... there's one thing that
 is completely impossible.)

Phoenix:
 (The very idea of Maya
 stabbing someone...)

Phoenix:
 (That alone is impossible!
 Which means...)

Phoenix:
 (...this faulty testimony must
 contain another contradiction
 in it somewhere.)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Elise's Autopsy Report* at (4)

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 ...Something about you just
 isn't right today, Iris!

Iris:
 Huh...?

Phoenix:
 Until now, I didn't think you
 were the type to make such
 a careless mistake.

Phoenix:
 However! The testimony you
 just gave contains quite
 a few contradictions.

Iris:
 Wh-What do you mean?
 What's so wrong about my
 testimony?

Phoenix:
 According to you...

Phoenix:
 ...Maya Fey stabbed the
 victim, who had her back to
 the stone lantern... Correct?

Iris:
 Y-Yes... That's right.

Phoenix:
 But in that case, the victim
 would've been stabbed in the
 stomach, right?

Judge:
 Y-Yes, I think so...

Phoenix:
 But! According to the
 autopsy report...

Phoenix:
 ...the cause of death was
 due to blood loss from a stab
 wound in her back.

Iris:
 Ah...!

Phoenix:
 This proves that the victim
 was stabbed from behind,
 not from the front!

Phoenix:
 Sister Iris!

Phoenix:
 It appears another seed of
 doubt has sprouted from your
 testimony!

Iris:
 Aaaaaaaah!

Judge:
 What...!? What is the meaning
 of this, Mr. Wright!?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 It's simple.

Godot:
 People are like books. We've
 all got a front and a back.
 You get my drift?

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 Umm, is that all you
 have to say?

Godot:
 I can also say that darkness
 loves to play with the human
 mind.

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Could you please knock it off
 with the cheesy proverbs and
 illogical metaphors already!?

Phoenix:
 The point is, too much of
 this testimony just doesn't
 make sense!

Phoenix:
 Throwing away a useful staff,
 the people fighting being
 mother and daughter...

Phoenix:
 And now, she falsely
 claims the victim was
 stabbed in the stomach!

Judge:
 Hmm...
 There certainly are some
 inconsistencies.

Phoenix:
 Well, Iris...
 How about it!?

Iris:
 ...
 W-Well, it's just...

Godot:
 If you ask me, you're just
 being too naïve about the
 whole thing.

Phoenix:
 What do you mean...?

Godot:
 There are 253 distinct types
 of bitterness in coffee...

Godot:
 But to pick out each one
 requires total concentration
 and the use of all the senses.

Godot:
 Were you really concentrating
 on what this witness actually
 said?

Judge:
 Prosecutor Godot!
 Explain yourself!

Godot:
 The witness was quite
 unambigious about her own
 ambiguities when she said...

Godot:
 ...that the garden was dark
 and she couldn't see clearly.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 A human needs one thing
 to see clearly.

Godot:
 And that is... light.

Judge:
 Light...

Godot:
 By the way, did you know?

Godot:
 The Inner Temple has a rule
 that on nights when an acolyte
 is there training...

Godot:
 ...the stone lantern in the
 garden is to always be lit.

Phoenix:
 (Hmm... I did wonder what
 that stone lantern was there
 for...)

Judge:
 Well if that's true...

Judge:
 ...shouldn't the witness have
 been able to see the crime
 more clearly?

Godot:
 ...Normally yes, Your Honor.
 But according to the
 head nun, Sister Bikini...

Godot:
 ...on the night of the crime,
 it was impossible to light
 that stone lantern.

Phoenix:
 Impossible...?

Godot:
 It hadn't been used in a long
 time and the wick was
 no good.

Godot:
 In other words... It had to
 be nearly pitch black in
 the garden that night.

Godot:
 There could have been a
 faint light coming from the
 Training Hall, but that's all.

Judge:
 Most enlightening...

Godot:
 Yes, that illuminating fact
 has chased all the
 contradictions away!

Godot:
 ...If the staff was dropped,
 it would be difficult to see.

Godot:
 It also explains why they
 didn't recognize each other.

Godot:
 We can't see the demons
 that lurk in the night...
 That's why humans are weak.

Godot:
 Isn't that right, Trite?

Phoenix:
 N--

Phoenix:
 Nooooooooooooooo!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Ordeeer!

Godot:
 Here, Your Honor.
 Let me present the stone
 lantern into evidence.

Godot:
 Maybe it will rekindle the
 flame of truth in your mind.

*Stone Lantern added
to the Court Record.*

Judge:
 ............

Phoenix:
 (Why is the judge just sitting
 there with that look on his
 face...?)

Godot:
 ...What's wrong, Your Honor?
 Was that flame too hot?

Judge:
 Th-This lantern...
 There's something written
 on it!

Godot:
 ...?

Judge:
 Wh-Why...
 It's written in blood!

Phoenix:
 (Oooh boy...!)

Phoenix:
 (So the judge didn't know
 about that yet...)

Godot:
 Written... in blood?

Iris:
 ...

Judge:
 It... It says...!

Judge:
 It says, "Maya" upside-down!

Godot:
 Wh-What the...!?

Iris:
 Oh yes... That's right...

Iris:
 After being cornered
 and then stabbed by
 Mystic Maya...

Iris:
 Mystic Elise didn't fall down
 right away.

Iris:
 She must have been writing
 that on the stone lantern
 behind her...

Iris:
 ...with the blood that was
 draining out of her body!

Judge:
 Hmm...
 It certainly looks that way...

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Hang on...
 Hang on just a minute!

Godot:
 What are you all talking
 about!?

Judge:
 What do you mean, "What are
 we all talking about?"

Phoenix:
 We're talking about the
 message written in blood...

Godot:
 Hmph... Nonsense!

Godot:
 This lantern...
 It's as clean as a whistle!

Phoenix:
 (C-Could it be...?)

Phoenix:
 (He can't see the bloody
 writing at all...!?)

Phoenix:
 (Now that I think of it,
 he did say something to
 me yesterday...)

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 My eyesight is pretty
 messed up.

Godot:
 Even with these huge goggles
 on my head, I still can't see
 everything.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (So that's what he
 meant by that...)

Judge:
 ...In any case, this is
 obviously an important clue.

Judge:
 We now know that the
 crime scene was dark...

Judge:
 ...and that the victim
 scrawled this message
 on the stone lantern!

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Godot?
 Anything further?

Godot:
 ...

Judge:
 M-Mr. Godot?

Godot:
 ...!
 Errr, umm...

Godot:
 OK then...
 Let's move on.

Phoenix:
 (Godot is literally shaking,
 and somehow, I don't think
 it's from caffeine overdose.)

Judge:
 ...I believe it has now been
 established...

Judge:
 ...that Ms. Deauxnim was
 killed by Maya Fey.

Phoenix:
 (Th-That's... just wrong!)

Godot:
 ...Now it's time to turn
 our attention to you.

Iris:
 ...Yes, sir.

Godot:
 After the victim died, you
 did something, didn't you?

Godot:
 Let's hear it.
 ...We're all ears.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Sister Iris's Cover-Up --

(1)
Iris:
 After Mystic Elise died...
 I called out to Mystic Maya.

(2)
Iris:
 I thought it was my duty to
 protect the future Master of
 the Kurain Tradition.

(3)
Iris:
 So I removed the body from
 the Inner Temple by myself...

(4)
Iris:
 I dragged it behind
 me all the way across
 Dusky Bridge.

(5)
Iris:
 Then I used the snowmobile
 to carry it back to
 Hazakura Temple and...

(6)
Iris:
 ...I used the Shichishito to
 alter the way the wound
 looked.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 ...So you moved the body.

Iris:
 Yes... I was raised at
 Hazakura Temple...

Iris:
 I owe a great deal of
 thanks to the Fey clan.

Iris:
 But even so...
 I never imagined...

Iris:
 ...that Elise Deauxnim was
 actually Misty Fey!

Iris:
 I've...
 I've committed a terrible sin!

Judge:
 Hmm...
 A terrible trick of fate.

Phoenix:
 (I believe you're looking for
 "twist of fate", Your Honor.)

Iris:
 I intended to return to the
 Inner Temple after taking care
 of the body...

Iris:
 But...

Godot:
 You were spotted by the
 head nun, correct?

Iris:
 Yes... And that's why
 I couldn't go back.

Judge:
 ...Your story makes sense,
 I suppose.

Judge:
 Mr. Wright, go ahead with your
 cross-examination.

Phoenix:
 ...Yes, Your Honor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Sister Iris's Cover-Up --

(1)
Iris:
 After Mystic Elise died...
 I called out to Mystic Maya.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So you waited until everything
      was over before making a
      move?

    Iris:
      N-No, it's not like that...

    Godot:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Godot:
      She saw someone murdered
      right in front of her eyes...

    Godot:
      It's not surprising that
      she was a little timid...

    Judge:
      ...Yes, I suppose that's true.

    Judge:
      Sometimes when I'm watching
      lawyers argue back and forth
      with each other...

    Judge:
      ...I feel so helpless that I
      just sit quietly and wait for
      them to reach a conclusion.

    Phoenix:
      (...Isn't it your job as the
      judge to mediate the
      argument!?)

    Iris:
      It wasn't until Mystic Maya
      saw me...

    Iris:
      ...that it finally dawned on
      her what she had done.

(2)
Iris:
 I thought it was my duty to
 protect the future Master of
 the Kurain Tradition.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So then... You knew...?

    Phoenix:
      You knew the significance of
      the name "Maya Fey"...?

    Iris:
      Y-Yes...
      Of course I did.

    Phoenix:
      (That's odd...)

    Phoenix:
      (I mean, Sister Bikini didn't
      recognize Maya's name, let
      alone her position...)

    Iris:
      Anyway...
      She was a very special
      person indeed.

(3)
Iris:
 So I removed the body from
 the Inner Temple by myself...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Why did you do that?

    Iris:
      Because I didn't want
      Mystic Maya to be suspected
      in any way.

    Iris:
      I thought the best thing
      would be to remove the body
      from the crime scene...

    Judge:
      You moved her body
      all by yourself...?

    Iris:
      ...Yes. I did.

    Iris:
      It would have been impossible
      if it wasn't for the snow...

    Phoenix:
      (The snow, huh...?)

(4)
Iris:
 I dragged it behind
 me all the way across
 Dusky Bridge.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      It's pretty amazing you could
      make it all the way across...
      That's a rickety old bridge.

    Iris:
      It looks worse than it is.
      It's surprisingly sturdy
      despite its age.

    Godot:
      It's like they say,
      "Idiots are too stupid to
      catch even a simple cold."

    Phoenix:
      ...But there's one other
      thing that bothers me.

    Phoenix:
      Why not just throw the
      body into the Eagle River?

    Iris:
      ...

    Phoenix:
      It would have been much easier
      than dragging it all the way
      to Hazakura Temple.

    Iris:
      I thought that it would still
      cast too much suspicion on
      Mystic Maya...

    Iris:
      That's why I tried to take
      the body as far away as
      possible...

    Godot:
      Ha...!
      Makes perfect sense to me!

    Godot:
      ...For the time being.

    Godot:
      Anyway... What did you do
      after you crossed the bridge?

(5)
Iris:
 Then I used the snowmobile
 to carry it back to
 Hazakura Temple and...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      The snowmobile?
      (I knew that would show
      up sooner or later...)

    Iris:
      ...Yes, I had the key.

    Iris:
      I used the snowmobile to
      travel from Hazakura Temple
      to Dusky Bridge.

    Phoenix:
      (This is the part that was
      in question the other day.)

    Phoenix:
      (Should I ask for
      more details...?)

    *** Forget it ******************************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (...Forget it, there's plenty
    *   of other things to go after
    *   in this testimony.)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Iris had the key to the
    *   snowmobile.)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (There's nothing strange
    *   about that...)

    * CONTINUE
    *
    ********************************************

    *** About the snowmobile *******************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Let me hear more about
    *   this snowmobile ride.
    *
    * Iris:
    *   Well, it was very cold
    *   that night...
    *
    * Iris:
    *   So I rode it all the way to
    *   the foot of the bridge.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   *OBJECTION!*
    *
    * Godot:
    *   I'm sorry, witness...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   But now, I've got a problem
    *   with your testimony.
    *
    * Iris:
    *   Excuse me?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Godot...
    *   What are you up to now?)
    *
    * Godot:
    *   That night... After the
    *   head nun left the remainder
    *   of the training to you...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...she said she walked from
    *   the Inner Temple back to
    *   Hazakura Temple.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Yes... I'm fairly certain
    *   that's what the record
    *   indicates.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Let's recall her comments
    *   on the subject...
    *
    * --------------------------------------------
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   Maybe... But, when I made it
    *   back to Hazakura Temple...
    *
    * Bikini:
    *   ...it was there, by the Main
    *   Gate... The snowmobile,
    *   I mean.
    *
    * --------------------------------------------
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...The snowmobile was in
    *   front of the Main Gate.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   This is one of those
    *   contradictions, wouldn't
    *   you say?
    *
    * Iris:
    *   ...!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Or-Order!
    *   ...Mr. Godot!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Wh-Why are you pointing
    *   out contradictions in the
    *   witness's testimony!?
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...Let's just say I like
    *   things to be neat and
    *   tidy, OK?
    *
    * Iris:
    *   Umm... Well...
    *   Maybe...
    *
    * Iris:
    *   S-Sister Bikini missed it.
    *   Yes, maybe she didn't see it.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   You think she missed it...?
    *   (That doesn't sound right...)
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Ha...!
    *   Whatever.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Even I don't think this is
    *   decisive enough to warrant
    *   any more time or effort.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   It's just...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   You'd better be careful in
    *   your testimony. That's all
    *   I wanted to say.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   A smart little cookie like
    *   you shouldn't have any
    *   trouble understanding that.
    *
    * Iris:
    *   Y-Yes, sir.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (What was that all about...?)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Why would Godot want to
    *   give me a hint...!?)
    *
    * CONTINUE
    *
    ********************************************

    *** About the tracks ***********************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   If you really did move her
    *   body by snowmobile...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...then there should be tracks
    *   left in the snow, right?
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Well yes, naturally you
    *   would expect tracks.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   This picture was presented
    *   at yesterday's trial...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...Are these the tracks
    *   from that ride?
    *
    * Iris:
    *   Y-Yes... I think they are.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   But...
    *   I can only see one set
    *   of tracks here.
    *
    * Iris:
    *   ...I don't see what's so
    *   strange about that.
    *
    * Iris:
    *   Snow was still falling when
    *   I left Hazakura Temple.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   I see...
    *   Snow was still falling, huh?
    *
    * Iris:
    *   And then when the murder
    *   took place, it had already
    *   stopped.
    *
    * Iris:
    *   That's why there are
    *   such fresh-looking tracks.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Hmm...

    * *
    * * Phoenix:

    * * Phoenix:

    * *
    * * Judge:

    * *   Does it have something to do
    * *   with the case?
    * *
    * * Phoenix:

    Judge:
      Very well then, let's continue
      with the testimony.

    Judge:
      So you transported the body
      by snowmobile...

    Judge:
      ...all the way to the Hazakura
      Temple Courtyard?

    Iris:
      Yes. I thought that way,
      Mystic Maya would never
      be suspected.

    Iris:
      That's what I thought, anyway.
      And then I...

(6)
Iris:
 ...I used the Shichishito to
 alter the way the wound
 looked.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Is that what you were doing
      when Sister Bikini saw you?

    Iris:
      Y-Yes, th-that's right...
      She probably thought
      the worst...

    Phoenix:
      ("Probably"...?
      More like "definitely".)

    Judge:
      Hmm... I see...

    Judge:
      So Sister Bikini mistakenly
      thought you were the one that
      murdered Ms. Deauxnim...

    Iris:
      ...I'm so sorry.
      Please forgive me.

    Iris:
      It's my fault that this
      case has gotten so
      confusing.

    Judge:
      Hmmm...

(6b)
Iris:
 By the time the murder took
 place, the snow had already
 stopped.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      There have been a lot of
      contradictions in your
      testimony so far.

    Phoenix:
      This time...
      are you sure it's all true?

    Iris:
      ...Y-Yes. I am.

    Phoenix:
       When the murder happened,
       the snow had already stopped.

    Phoenix:
      According to you, that's why
      the snowmobile tracks were
      so clear...

    Iris:
      Th-That's right!
      I'm certain of it!

    Phoenix:
      (I think I've trapped her
      this time.)

    Godot:
      ...
      I see how you think...
      Snow, huh...

    Judge:
      Wh-What is going on here?

    Phoenix:
      (If the snow really had
      stopped by the time of
      the murder...)

    Phoenix:
      (...it'd mean there's a bigger
      hole in her story than that
      movie The Grid: Revelations!)

    Godot:
      Ha...! Well then, Mr. Trite,
      perhaps you'd like to share
      your theory with us?

    Godot:
      Let's see what's up your
      sleeve... or rather, at the
      end of your index finger!

    Iris:
      ...?

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I don't want to believe it,
 but I don't think my logic
 is failing me...)

Phoenix:
 (...Iris is trying to pin the
 murder on Maya!)

Phoenix:
 (But why would she
 want to do that...?)

Phoenix:
 (There's only one reason I
 can think of...)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Weather Data* at (4) after statement (6b) was added

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 ...You claim that the snow had
 already stopped when the
 murder occurred.

Phoenix:
 But I'm sorry, Iris.
 That just isn't possible.

Iris:
 What...!?

Phoenix:
 This is the weather data from
 the night of the murder.

Phoenix:
 According to this, the snow
 didn't stop until 10:50 PM.

Phoenix:
 But you couldn't have crossed
 Dusky Bridge at that time.

Iris:
 W-Why do you say that!?

Phoenix:
 Because 5 minutes before
 the snow stopped...

Phoenix:
 ...Dusky Bridge was struck by
 lightning and had caught on
 fire.

Iris:
 What did you say!?

Iris:
 Th-The bridge...
 It was on fire...?

Judge:
 You don't mean to say...
 you didn't know about it?

Judge:
 It was because of that
 lightning strike that the
 bridge burned down!

Iris:
 Whaaaaaat!?
 But it can't...
 It can't be...!

Phoenix:
 It looks like you still
 haven't figured it out.

Phoenix:
 No matter how hard you try
 to deceive or conceal
 the truth...

Phoenix:
 ...you can't pull the wool
 over the eyes of a real
 defense attorney!

Iris:
 ...Nooooooooo!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Phoenix:
 The bridge was already
 on fire when the incident
 took place.

Phoenix:
 That's right! The Inner Temple
 was already totally cut off
 from the outside world!

Phoenix:
 There's no way she could
 have crossed the bridge,
 body or no body!

Iris:
 Uh... Aaaaaaaah!

Judge:
 Witness! Even my
 patience has its limits.

Judge:
 Any further lying and I will
 find you in contempt of court!

Judge:
 Do you have anything to
 say for yourself!?

Iris:
 Ugggh...

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 The only person here that is
 truly contemptible is you...

Godot:
 ...old man!

Judge:
 .........
 Me!? How dare you!?

Godot:
 Whether this witness lied
 or not doesn't mean squat
 right now.

Phoenix:
 S-S-Squat!?

Godot:
 The important thing now is to
 find out the truth.
 ...Isn't that right?

Judge:
 Y-Yes, of course. But...

Godot:
 Whether it was snowing, or
 not snowing, or whether the
 bridge was burning or not...

Godot:
 There are 2 facts that
 can't be disputed.

Godot:
 First, the body of Elise
 Deauxnim was discovered in the
 Hazakura Temple Courtyard.

Godot:
 And second, the head nun,
 Sister Bikini...

Godot:
 ...witnessed Iris desecrating
 Elise Deauxnim's body!

Phoenix:
 ...!
 (H-He makes a good point...
 on both accounts.)

Iris:
 Th-That's right!
 I'm not lying!

Judge:
 What are you claiming
 this time!?

Iris:
 I wasn't myself at all
 that night.

Iris:
 ...So my memory is still
 somewhat hazy!

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 You have stood at that witness
 stand and testified this
 entire time!

Phoenix:
 Are you telling us now that
 your memory of that night
 is hazy...?

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 It is only human to err.

Godot:
 If you're so perfect, Trite,
 maybe you can explain this
 for the court?

Phoenix:
 Wh-What is it...?

Godot:
 When the murder happened,
 the bridge had already burnt
 down.

Godot:
 But somehow the body traveled
 across the bridge and was
 found in the temple courtyard.

Godot:
 Perhaps you have some
 kind of perfect explanation
 for this little magic trick?

Phoenix:
 Ugh...!
 Well not exactly, no...

Phoenix:
 (I know there must be some
 other way she got across
 that burnt-out bridge.)

Phoenix:
 (But unless I can somehow
 demonstrate it... We'll
 never know the truth!)

Judge:
 It looks like the defense is
 not prepared to offer a
 suitable explanation...

Godot:
 You see what I mean?
 In other words...

Godot:
 You're in no position to
 suggest that this lady's
 testimony isn't the truth!

Phoenix:
 Aaaaaack!

Judge:
 Alright then.
 Witness, let's hear your
 testimony once more.

Iris:
 About what, Your Honor?

Judge:
 You've admitted that you
 moved the victim's body.

Judge:
 Nevertheless, your prior
 testimony contained a
 rather large inconsistency.

Judge:
 ...Please add an explanation
 for that to your testimony.

Iris:
 Yes, Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 (...Will this be her final
 testimony...!?)

Godot:
 ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Moving the Body --

(1)
Iris:
 Other than walking over the
 bridge, there's no way to move
 the body.

(2)
Iris:
 So I... must have just...
 gotten confused, I guess.

(3)
Iris:
 Was the snow still falling
 or had it stopped...? Does it
 really matter that much?

(4)
Iris:
 Or are you saying that there
 is a way to cross a burning
 bridge?

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...
 So it was just a
 misunderstanding, I see.

Godot:
 This is a photo of
 Dusky Bridge after it burned
 down from the lightning blast.

Godot:
 It was taken on the morning
 after the incident.

Judge:
 It certainly was burned
 to a crisp...

Judge:
 And one of the suspension
 wires is gone... It's amazing
 the whole bridge didn't fall.

Judge:
 Clearly it would be impossible
 to carry a corpse across a
 bridge in this condition.

*Dusky Bridge Photo added
to the Court Record.*

Phoenix:
 (Unless I do something to
 discredit this testimony...)

Phoenix:
 (...it's going to be deemed
 as the truth...)

Phoenix:
 (...and Maya will be accused
 of murder!)

Godot:
 Trite. I'm only going to say
 it one more time.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 It is only human to err.

Godot:
 And...

Godot:
 ...only humans can spot
 the errors of our ways.

Phoenix:
 (The more sense he makes, the
 less sense he makes...)

Judge:
 Alright, Mr. Wright!
 Please begin your final
 cross-examination.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Moving the Body --

(1)
Iris:
 Other than walking over the
 bridge, there's no way to move
 the body.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Yes, but if the snow had
      already stopped when the
      incident took place...

    Iris:
      I couldn't have crossed
      the bridge.
      ...Naturally.

    Phoenix:
      ...!

    Iris:
      But... I think it's just like
      Mr. Godot said...

    Iris:
      The body did make it across
      somehow...

(2)
Iris:
 So I... must have just...
 gotten confused, I guess.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      But you seemed to be quite
      sure of yourself when you
      gave your testimony!

    Phoenix:
      You said you were sure the
      snow had already stopped.

    Iris:
      I'm terribly sorry...
      I was wrong.

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Iris:
      ...

    Phoenix:
      (Does she really think
      an apology is going to get
      her off the hook?)

(3)
Iris:
 Was the snow still falling
 or had it stopped...? Does it
 really matter that much?

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      This is no joke!
      You're giving sworn testimony
      in a court of law!

    Iris:
      Well, Mr. Wright...
      Let me ask you a question.

    Iris:
      Do you remember what the
      weather was like one week
      ago today?

    Phoenix:
      Huh...!?
      W-Well, I...
      Naturally, it was, umm...

    Phoenix:
      ............

    Iris:
      You see? It's not that easy
      to remember, is it?

    Phoenix:
      ...B-But if it had been
      some kind of a special day,
      I would have remembered!

    Phoenix:
      For example, it was pouring
      rain on the day of my
      elementary school graduation!

    Godot:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Godot:
      No one wants to hear
      about your childhood
      traumas, Trite.

    Phoenix:
      What...!?

    Godot:
      "By the time the murder took
      place, the snow had already
      stopped."

    Godot:
      If you insist on obsessing
      over that one statement,
      let's see the proof.

    Godot:
      Show some evidence that the
      body somehow crossed the
      bridge while it was on fire!

(4)
Iris:
 Or are you saying that there
 is a way to cross a burning
 bridge?

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      ...Well, I don't see why there
      couldn't be a way across!

    Iris:
      Mr. Wright...

    Iris:
      Don't you think that
      sounds a bit silly?

    Phoenix:
      ...!

    Iris:
      A dead body crossing
      a burning bridge...

    Iris:
      Did anyone actually witness
      such a thing...?

    Godot:
      Ha...!

    Godot:
      If there was, I don't think
      you'd call someone like that
      a witness!

    Godot:
      After all, a dream isn't
      the same as actually
      seeing something...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I've come all this way, so
 I owe it to everyone to figure
 this out...)

Phoenix:
 (But how do you transport a
 body across a burning
 bridge...?)

Phoenix:
 (Even if I don't know the
 exact answer yet, it's OK.)

Phoenix:
 (I'll start by examining all
 of my evidence, and see
 where that takes me...)

Phoenix:
 (I've gotta be like a shark...
 If I don't keep moving, I'm
 as good as dead!)

*Present Dusky Bridge Photo*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Judge:
 That's a photo of
 Dusky Bridge, correct?

Phoenix:
 Yes. Now, compare the
 sketch and the photo
 for a minute.

Phoenix:
 In the sketch, the wires
 appear to be above the
 guard wires.

Phoenix:
 But on the actual
 Dusky Bridge...

Judge:
 Jumping Jehosaphat!

Phoenix:
 The wires are...
 below the guard wires!

Godot:
 ...Bwhaaaat!?

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Judge:
 This sketch is somewhat
 different than what's depicted
 in the photo!

Judge:
 However...

Judge:
 Isn't it likely that the
 artist just saw it wrong?

Iris:
 Or perhaps he just
 drew it wrong!

Godot:
 Either way, it sounds like
 you're... just wrong!

Phoenix:
 ...With someone like
 Laurice, I admit a mistake
 is a definite possibility.

Phoenix:
 But then that begs the
 question...

Phoenix:
 "Why did he make a mistake?"
 What was the reason?

Godot:
 ...Are you saying you know
 the answer to that?

Phoenix:
 Listen!
 Think back, alright?

Phoenix:
 Remember what Laurice was
 doing when he witnessed
 this event.

Phoenix:
 ...He was at Heavenly Hall
 waiting for a lover that was
 never going to come.

Phoenix:
 He waited and waited, and
 finally he laid down.

Phoenix:
 ...But then!
 Lightning shoots from the sky
 and sets the bridge aflame!

Phoenix:
 Now ponder what sort of
 position Larry must have been
 in at the time...

Phoenix:
 He was lying on his back,
 which is why he remembered
 the scene the way he did.

Judge:
 ...
 He was lying on his back...?
 I can't see how it relates...

Phoenix:
 But it does, Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 That is the reason why
 the wires in the sketch
 go up instead of down...

Judge:
 Aaaaaah!

Godot:
 Ugh... No way...!

Phoenix:
 Laurice Deauxnim witnessed
 the event while he was lying
 on his back, face up.

Phoenix:
 In other words, the scene
 that he saw...

Phoenix:
 ...was actually upside-down!

Judge:
 So then...!
 This sketch should actually...

Phoenix:
 I think you finally get
 it, Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 The correct way to view
 Laurice Deauxnim's sketch
 is like this!

Phoenix:
 This is how it should
 actually look!

Phoenix:
 The victim's body wasn't
 flying above the bridge!

Phoenix:
 It was actually swinging
 below!

Phoenix:
 ...That's right!
 Just like a pendulum!

Godot:
 Bwwweeeediculous!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order--

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Of all the things to say!
 A pendulum!?

Phoenix:
 ...The bridge was burning to
 a crisp. There was no way
 to get across it.

Phoenix:
 But if the body had been found
 at the Inner Temple, it would
 have caused problems.

Phoenix:
 This is where the criminal
 decided to take a gamble.

Phoenix:
 They used the burning bridge
 to get the body across to the
 other side.

Phoenix:
 And a pendulum was the only
 way to get it done!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 ...Let's think about this
 for a minute, shall we?

Godot:
 Dusky Bridge is about
 20 yards long.

Godot:
 Which means it's about that
 far from the Inner Temple to
 the opposite cliff.

Phoenix:
 ...Yes, that sounds right.

Godot:
 In order to cover that
 distance with a pendulum...

Godot:
 You'd need a rope at least
 10 yards long.

Godot:
 To get a rope that long,
 you have to plan ahead!

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 (The lightning strike that
 night can only have been
 an accident.)

Phoenix:
 (So it doesn't make sense that
 the criminal would have
 prepared the rope beforehand.)

Phoenix:
 (So then, the criminal...)

Phoenix:
 They didn't have to
 get the rope ready...

Phoenix:
 The rope was already right
 in front of the criminal.

Godot:
 What!?

Phoenix:
 I'm saying that it was just a
 matter of using what was
 already there.

Judge:
 In that case, Mr. Wright,
 please give us an explanation
 to support your theory.

Judge:
 What makes you think the
 criminal had the rope on
 hand to create a pendulum!?

x

x
x Phoenix:
x   Huh...?
x
x Godot:

x   There's no evidence that the

*Present Dusky Bridge Photo*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Judge:
 And the meaning of this is...?

Phoenix:
 If you want to know where
 the rope came from...

Phoenix:
 ...it's hanging right there
 in front of your glorious
 beard!

Judge:
 Aaaaaaaah!

Judge:
 This... This is one of the
 wires from the bridge!

Phoenix:
 When the lightning struck the
 bridge and set it on fire...

Phoenix:
 ...one of the suspension wires
 came loose from its anchor.

Phoenix:
 The criminal didn't have
 any time to waste.

Phoenix:
 So they tied the wire around
 Elise Deauxnim's body...

Phoenix:
 ...because there was simply no
 other way to move the body!

Godot:
 ......
 Ha......!

Godot:
 *glug, glug, glug, glug, glug*
 *glug, glug, glug, glug, glug*
 *glug, glug, glug, glug, glug*

Judge:
 Mr. Godot!?

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 It seems that Mr. Godot is
 more focused on his coffee
 than answering my question.

Judge:
 It seems that the odds of a
 rope being readily available
 were very high.

Judge:
 So I suppose that it's not
 an impossibility after all!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 "Possible" or "impossible"...?
 That's not the question we
 need to ask!

Godot:
 There's only one question.
 "Did that really happen?"

Godot:
 Trite!
 I wonder if you can prove
 what happened to us.

Godot:
 Do you have any actual
 evidence that the body was
 swung over like a pendulum!?

xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Present Elise's Autopsy Report or Crystal Sphere*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 Before I present my evidence,
 let me review what we know
 so far.

Phoenix:
 According to this photo,
 one of the wires snapped.

Phoenix:
 Looking at the map, we can
 see it's the one that was in
 front of the Inner Temple.

Judge:
 So then, that was the spot
 where the criminal...!?

Phoenix:
 Yes, precisely.

Phoenix:
 Now let us consider the
 body's movement by looking
 at the overhead map again.

Phoenix:
 If the body was pushed
 from this point here...

Phoenix:
 ...it would drop on the
 opposite bank at approximately
 this point.

Judge:
 D-Did you say drop?

Phoenix:
 Well, they must have failed
 to catch the body on the
 other bank.

Iris:
 What...!? What makes you think
 something like that happened!?

Phoenix:
 Because I have evidence that
 suggests her body dropped
 some distance.

Iris:
 Wh-What kind of evidence!?

Phoenix:
 ...Take a look at this
 autopsy report.

Phoenix:
 It says here that her body
 fell about 10 feet after her
 death.

Judge:
 Ten feet, huh...

Phoenix:
 That's most likely the height
 difference between the two
 sides.

Phoenix:
 The body over swung due to
 forward momentum but then came
 loose and fell about 10 feet.

Phoenix:
 And then, as a result of the
 landing impact...

Phoenix:
 ...this crystal sphere
 was knocked loose!

Iris:
 ...!
 That's...

Phoenix:
 Yes, this blood-stained
 amethyst crystal...

Phoenix:
 It's the one that came off
 of Ms. Elise Deauxnim's staff!

Phoenix:
 And even more important is
 the place where this crystal
 sphere was found!

Judge:
 In-Indeed...
 I believe it's already marked
 on this overhead map.

Judge:
 The crystal was found...
 Aaaaaah!

Phoenix:
 ...Precisely, Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 In the very spot where the
 pendulum would arrive if given
 the right amount of speed!

Judge:
 This explains your theory
 quite well, Mr. Wright.

Judge:
 You have provided us with a
 way the body could have been
 moved that night...

Judge:
 An impressive deduction,
 Mr. Wright.
 ...Most impressive.

Judge:
 M-Mr. Wright!

Godot:
 I thought this cold coffee
 might help cool you down.

Judge:
 Wh... What is the meaning
 of this, Mr. Godot!?

Godot:
 That was a dark and bitter
 guess that you made, Trite.

Godot:
 ...But you forgot about
 one thing.

Judge:
 Oh? And what would that be?

Godot:
 ...
 The aroma.

Phoenix:
 ...Huh?

Godot:
 A coffee's most reliable
 accomplice is its deep
 and profound aroma...

Phoenix:
 Um... The rest of the court
 doesn't speak Coffeenese. Can
 you elaborate a bit more?

Godot:
 If the criminal had sent the
 body to the other side like
 you say...

Godot:
 ...then naturally, there must
 have been an accomplice laying
 in wait to catch it.

Judge:
 An accomplice...!?

Godot:
 ...The criminal wasn't able
 to cross Dusky Bridge.

Godot:
 So, who collected the body...?

Godot:
 What do you have to say
 about that, Trite!?

Phoenix:
 ...!

Judge:
 Mr. Godot is correct...
 This can't be the work of
 a single person!

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Wright!?
 You know what you must do.

Phoenix:
 ...Yes, Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 (The body couldn't have made
 it to Hazakura Temple without
 an accomplice!)

Judge:
 ...Very well then!
 If you please, Mr. Wright.

Judge:
 Who was the person that
 received the body on
 the Hazakura Temple side?

 Sister Iris.

Iris:
 Huh...?

Iris:
 Aaaaaaah!
 But I... I...

Phoenix:
 ...I don't see why you're
 so surprised.

Phoenix:
 The only way to transport
 the body from Dusky Bridge
 is by snowmobile.

Phoenix:
 But with her bad back,
 Sister Bikini could never pick
 up a body like that.

Phoenix:
 ...You're the only one that
 could have managed it.

Godot:
 Trite.

Godot:
 ...was on clean-up duty in the
 Inner Temple Garden after
 the mother-daughter bloodbath.

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 I haven't forgotten.
 But have you, Mr. Godot?

Phoenix:
 This witness was also
 seen at Hazakura Temple...

Phoenix:
 ...desecrating the corpse of
 the victim.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 Strange indeed...
 It's almost as if...

Judge:
 ...on that night, the
 defendant was in two different
 places at the same time!

Phoenix:
 ...Sister Iris.
 Let me ask you something...

Phoenix:
 Why didn't you mention it
 when you first gave
 your testimony?

Iris:
 M-Mention what?

Phoenix:
 The pendulum, of course.

Phoenix:
 Using this sketch drawn
 by an eyewitness...

Phoenix:
 I have established how the
 body was moved using the
 burnt-out bridge.

Phoenix:
 Which means it's now a fact
 that this occurred, something
 you should've already known.

Iris:
 N-No...!
 I... I had no idea!

Iris:
 I-I didn't know anything about
 a pendulum!

Phoenix:
 But the body couldn't have
 been passed along to the other
 side without your help!

Phoenix:
 So you should have known
 about it!

Phoenix:
 In fact, it'd be impossible
 for you to be clueless
 about this whole thing...

Phoenix:
 ...unless you're not really
 Iris to begin with.

Iris:
 What...!?

Iris:
 H-How can you say that,
 Mr. Wright...?

Judge:
 What...!?
 What kind of nonsense is this?

Judge:
 You... You're
 saying this witness isn't
 Iris of Hazakura Temple...?

Godot:

Godot:
 A-Are you serious, Trite...!?

Godot:
 You... You mean...
 Th-This woman is...

Phoenix:
 (There's no one besides Iris
 that could have received
 the corpse that night!)

Phoenix:
 (Now I get it... Now I know
 why I've been sick to my
 stomach during this trial.)

Phoenix:

 Hawthorne...?

Phoenix:
 Sister Iris had a twin sister.

Phoenix:
 ...And you're looking at her.
 Ms. Dahlia Hawthorne.

Godot:
 This file contains all

Judge:
 Oh yes, I remember now...
 That case... 5 years ago...

--------------------------------------------

Dahlia:
 My name is Dahlia Hawthorne.

Dahlia:
 I just want to say...
 It's an honor for me to be
 here in your noble presence.

Payne:
 The honor is all mine!

Judge:
 No... The honor is all mine.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 B-But...
 According to this...

Judge:
 Dahlia Hawthorne...
 ...is already dead!

Judge:
 ...It says her execution was
 carried out last month!

Godot:
 ...
 So what?

Godot:
 Death has no meaning
 in this courtroom!

Judge:
 Wh-Whaaaaaaaaat!?

Judge:

Iris:
 W-Wait a moment!

Iris:
 How can you...?
 My sister...!
 She's already dead!

Iris:
 Wh-What kind of...?

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 ...You of all people should
 already understand.
 After all...

Phoenix:
 The blood of the Master of the
 Kurain Channeling Technique
 flows within that body.

Judge:
 The Kurain Channeling
 Technique...?
 Now where have I heard that...

Phoenix:
 ...That's right. You're not
 Dahlia Hawthorne herself.

Phoenix:
 You're the spirit of Dahlia,
 currently inhabiting the body
 of a spirit medium!

Godot:
 What an exciting story.
 Exciting, but quite
 impossible.

Godot:
 You're asking us to buy that
 Dahlia Hawthorne just happened
 to be channeled by someone...

Godot:
 ...on the very night of the
 murder, to a temple where
 her twin sister, Iris was...?

Phoenix:
 Well, if you're going to put
 things that way, then...
 Yes.

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 We're supposed to believe
 a coincidence like that
 just happens!?

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Naturally it was no
 coincidence.

Phoenix:
 The whole thing was part
 of a plan from the very
 beginning.

Phoenix:
 It's all written right here
 in these instructions...!

Iris:
 Ah...!
 Wh-What's that...!?

Phoenix:
 These instructions were
 written by your mother,
 Morgan Fey!

Phoenix:
 And part of the plan called
 for Dahlia Hawthorne to be
 channeled!

Phoenix:
 That night...

Phoenix:
 ...there were two Irises
 at Hazakura Temple.

Godot:
 ...T-Two of them?

Phoenix:
 Even the time of the
 channeling was planned out.

Phoenix:
 "As soon as you hear the
 lights out bell"...
 In other words, 10:00 PM.

Phoenix:
 However, Iris was seen
 before dinnertime.

Judge:
 That means the Iris that was
 at dinner was the real Iris.

Phoenix:
 And the Iris who gave me this
 hood in the Main Hall was also
 the real Iris.

Phoenix:
 Meaning that the Iris
 Sister Bikini saw at the
 Inner Temple...

Phoenix:
 ...was someone else dressed
 as her! Namely, one Dahlia
 Hawthorne!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Do you even know what you're
 saying, Trite?

Godot:
 This whole "channeling the
 spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne"
 business...

Godot:
 Yes, it's true that you found
 plans that talk about it.

Godot:
 ...However!
 There's one thing that's
 perfectly clear.

Godot:
 The witness currently
 standing in the witness
 stand is the real Iris!

Phoenix:
 Whaaaaat!?

Godot:
 Calm down and remember
 what you know about the
 night of the crime.

Godot:
 After meeting Sister Bikini,
 the Dahlia Hawthorne that
 had been channeled...

Godot:
 ...would've been stranded at
 the Inner Temple due to the
 lightning strike.

Godot:
 It was later that the body
 was moved by pendulum.

Phoenix:
 ...That's right.

Godot:
 Naturally that would mean
 that the Iris that received
 the body was...

Godot:
 ...the real Iris.
 Are you with me so far?

Phoenix:
 ...Yes.

Godot:
 After being notified of what
 happened, the police came to
 Hazakura Temple's Main Hall.

Godot:
 There they found Iris in her
 room and arrested her.

Godot:
 And ever since, she's been
 under police supervision at
 the detention center.

Phoenix:
 Y-Yes, I suppose...
 (I can't deny any of that...)

Iris:
 Whew... Thank goodness.

Iris:
 It looks like he's finally
 convinced...

Phoenix:
 (But something still seems
 off... Way off...!)

Phoenix:
 I'm still not convinced that
 the Iris here is the same one
 from the other night.

Godot:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 I suppose you're about to say
 something really ridiculous?

Godot:
 Like, the real Iris and the
 spirit of Dahlia...

Godot:
 ...somehow switched places?

Judge:
 S-Switched places...!?

Judge:
 To be perfectly honest...

Judge:
 ...there are still quite a
 few things I don't understand,
 but I do know...

Judge:
 ...that unless we confirm the
 witness's identity, we can't
 continue with this trial.

Phoenix:
 (Iris doesn't have the
 spiritual power needed to
 channel Dahlia.)

Phoenix:
 (Which means...)

Phoenix:
 (...they must have switched
 places somewhere.)

Judge:
 Well, Mr. Wright?

Judge:
 Since the time she was
 arrested at Hazakura Temple...

Judge:
 ...have there been any chances
 for Iris to switch places with
 Dahlia Hawthorne?

*** Not a chance ***************************
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...
*   (Hmm, I can't think of one...)
*
* Phoenix:
*   (She certainly couldn't
*   have escaped while she
*   was under arrest!)
*
* Godot:
*   Ha...!
*   I love that look on your face!
*
* Godot:
*   Maybe you should go live in
*   that old mountain shack
*   and become a hermit?
*
* Judge:
*   It appears there was no

*
* Phoenix:
*   (No! If I give up here, I'd
*   never be able to live with

* Phoenix:

*   I have to think of something!)

Phoenix:
 ...Your Honor!

Phoenix:
 I think there might have been
 one chance.

Judge:
 Oh? Explain yourself...

Phoenix:
 Yesterday for a few minutes,
 Iris's whereabouts were
 unknown.

Godot:
 Unknown...?
 What do you mean?

Phoenix:
 What I mean is...

Phoenix:
 There was a span of time in
 which Iris was able to move
 about freely, unsupervised.

Judge:
 Well, who was it!?

Judge:
 Who would give a murder
 suspect time to move
 about freely like that!?

Phoenix:
 (I'm sorry... I know you
 didn't mean to... It wasn't
 your fault...)

Phoenix:
 The person who gave Iris
 the chance to freely move
 about was...

*Present Miles Edgeworth profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 Th-This is... Mr. Edgeworth,
 isn't it...?

Phoenix:
 ...Your Honor.

Phoenix:
 There was a fairly large
 earthquake yesterday,
 was there not?

Judge:
 An... earthquake?
 Hmm...

--------------------------------------------

Bikini:
 E-Earthquake!

Bikini:
 Oh my goodness!
 The Inner Temple! This kind of
 tremor might...

Edgeworth:
 H-How could I have...?

Edgeworth:
 She fled...
 She escaped!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 We went to the Inner Temple
 right away.

Phoenix:
 And it's true, Iris was
 already there.

Phoenix:
 However...

Phoenix:
 ...they had already switched
 places by that point in time.

Phoenix:
 When I arrived at the Training
 Hall, I was met by none other
 than Dahlia Hawthorne!

Judge:
 Th-That's quite enough
 already, Mr. Wright!

Judge:
 Now see here!

Judge
 No judge in his right mind
 would consider the idea of
 "spirit channeling" and...

? ? ?:
 ...Be quiet.

? ? ?:
 It's been a long time...
 Mr. Judge.

Judge:
 ...!
 Th-That voice...!

Godot:
 Guess I'll have to ask again.

? ? ?:
 ...

Godot:
 ...Upon meeting a beautiful
 lady, always ask for her
 name and profession.

Godot:
 That's one of my rules.

Dahlia:
 Dahlia Hawthorne.
 And my current profession?
 Permanently retired.

Phoenix:
 ...

Godot:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 So you're not going to
 bother hiding your identity
 anymore, huh?

Dahlia:
 ...Why should I?
 After all, I'm dead.

Dahlia:
 There's really nothing
 you can do to punish me!

Judge:
 Wh-What is going on here...?

Phoenix:
 (Dahlia Hawthorne...)

Phoenix:
 (I never thought we'd meet
 again. And I never thought
 we'd meet like this...)

Phoenix:
 (But this time, I'll end it!
 For her, and for myself...)

District Court
Courtroom No. 7

Judge:
 ...Now then, let's continue
 where we left off, shall we?

Judge:
 Well, witness?

Dahlia:
 Yes?
 How can I help you?
 ...Mr. Judge.

Judge:
 Well...
 It seems that if we're to
 learn the truth...

Judge:
 ...we'll need to hear your
 testimony.

Dahlia:
 ...
 I have no problem with that.

Dahlia:
 But when you've seen what
 I have, sometimes the truth
 is better left unknown.

Phoenix:
 ...

Judge:
 ...In any case, let's hear
 your testimony!

Judge:
 Tell us about the plan that
 was carried out that night!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Plan --

(1)
Dahlia:
 ...The whole plan began
 with my death.

(2)
Dahlia:
 A stupid plan hatched by
 Morgan Fey to install her own
 daughter as the next Master.

(3)
Dahlia:
 But for it to work...
 Maya Fey would first
 have to die.

(4)
Dahlia:
 The idea was for me to kill
 Maya and then have the
 blame pinned on Iris.

(5)
Dahlia:
 The plan went wrong...
 but it seems to have
 succeeded anyway.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 S-So that means...
 Y-You really are...

Phoenix:
 *HOLD IT!*

Phoenix:
 Wait a minute!

Phoenix:
 Did you just say the plan
 was to kill Maya Fey...?

Dahlia:
 Yes. You have a problem
 with that...?

Phoenix:
 Don't give us that nonsense!
 There's no way that--

Godot:
 Watch yourself, Trite!

Godot:
 If you've got a problem, solve
 it during cross-examination!
 ...That's my rule.

Judge:
 Mr. Godot is correct!
 And by the way...
 that's my rule as well!

Phoenix:
 (To kill Maya...?
 Could it be true!?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Plan --

(1)
Dahlia:
 ...The whole plan began
 with my death.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      You were executed last month,
      correct?

    Dahlia:
      Yes. I was hanged.
      It wasn't exactly...
      pleasant.

    Phoenix:
      How did you manage
      to discuss the plan?

    Phoenix:
      When did you talk with
      Morgan Fey?

    Dahlia:
      Last year, she was transferred
      to the same detention center
      as me.

    Dahlia:
      Since I was on death row
      and she was my mother...

    Dahlia:
      ...it was actually pretty easy
      to meet with her.

    Judge:
      I see...
      So that's when you discussed
      the plan?

    Dahlia:
      ...Ha!
      Are you crazy?

    Dahlia:
      At first, that woman was
      planning to kill me as well!

    Dahlia:
      ...Even though I'm her
      own daughter.

    Phoenix:
      All to make Pearl Fey
      the Master of Kurain...?

    Dahlia:
      She's a cold, twisted woman.

    Dahlia:
      She thought she could finally
      regain her lost honor.

    Dahlia:
      The honor she lost when her
      younger sister, Misty, took
      her place as the Master.

    Dahlia:
      Ever since that day,
      she's been working on
      this plan.

    Judge:
      Hmm... A plan, huh...

(2)
Dahlia:
 A stupid plan hatched by
 Morgan Fey to install her own
 daughter as the next Master.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      You're talking about
      Pearl Fey, is that correct?

    Dahlia:
      Yes, though at first she had
      high hopes for the two of us.

    Godot:
      You and your twin
      sister, Iris?

    Dahlia:
      That's correct. Fortunately,
      neither of us had much
      spiritual power.

    Dahlia:
      That's why... we were
      abandoned by her...
      along with our father.

    Judge:
      A-Abandoned...?

    Dahlia:
      The only person I ever
      really cared about in life
      was myself...

    Dahlia:
      My sister was a nuisance, so
      I convinced my father to leave
      her at an old temple.

    Phoenix:
      You mean Iris...?

    Dahlia:
      ...Yes, my father remarried
      a woman who also had a
      daughter.

    Dahlia:
      The less children you have,
      the more money there is to
      go around, right?

    Dahlia:
      And on top of that, my father
      had absolutely no interest in
      children in general.

    Judge:
      H... How horrible...

    Dahlia:
      The real horrible one was
      that woman...
      That bitter, vengeful woman.

    Dahlia:
      It was her stubbornness that
      gave birth to that child...
      Pearl Fey.

    Dahlia:
      She was born with an
      abundance of spiritual power.
      ...Unfortunately for her.

    Dahlia:
      Morgan Fey heaped all of her
      broken hopes and dreams on
      to that poor child's back.

    Dahlia:
      All because of her pathetic
      dreams of having her bloodline
      become the main family.

(3)
Dahlia:
 But for it to work...
 Maya Fey would first
 have to die.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Maya would have to die!?
      But why!?

    Dahlia:
      For our bloodline to succeed
      as the main family, thus
      making Pearl the new Master...

    Dahlia:
      ...the remaining descendants
      of the current Master had to
      be taken care of.

    Phoenix:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Phoenix:
      But Pearls would never agree
      to a plan like that!

    Phoenix:
      She adores Maya...

    Dahlia:
      ...How sad. You still don't
      get it, do you?

    Dahlia:
      What Pearl wanted had
      nothing to do with it.

    Dahlia:
      Morgan didn't care one bit
      about Pearl.

    Dahlia:
      The only thing she cared about
      was the position of the
      Master. That's all.

    Phoenix:
      Th-That's ridiculous...!

    Dahlia:
      She was willing to sacrifice
      anything and anyone to
      achieve her goal.

    Dahlia:
      The life of her daughter...
      and naturally, the life of
      Maya Fey as well.

    Phoenix:
      (How could anyone do that...?)

(4)
Dahlia:
 The idea was for me to kill
 Maya and then have the
 blame pinned on Iris.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Y-You...?
      You were going to kill Maya?

    Dahlia:
      Pearl didn't need to
      know anything about it...

    Dahlia:
      All she had to do was to
      follow the instructions in
      the letter and channel me.

    Dahlia:
      Then I would have simply
      used her body and finished
      the job.

    Dahlia:
      In any case...

    Dahlia:
      I'm already dead, and
      there's nothing any of
      you can do to me...

    Phoenix:
      Grrrr...!

    Godot:
      So the plan was to blame the
      crime on your younger sister.

    Godot:
      On Sister Iris of
      Hazakura Temple...

    Dahlia:
      She and I look absolutely
      identical. No one can tell
      us apart.

    Dahlia:
      If someone were to witness
      me killing Maya...

    Dahlia:
      ...naturally they would think
      it was Iris that had done it.

    Godot:
      And the witness in this case
      was the head nun, Sister
      Bikini.

    Dahlia:
      I never would've guessed she
      was going to return to
      Hazakura Temple that night.

    Dahlia:
      But... she wound up seeing
      Iris's "crime" anyway.

    Judge:
      But why did you want to pin
      the murder on Iris in the
      first place!?

    Judge:
      She's your twin sister,
      isn't she?

    Dahlia:
      Twin sister...!?
      Don't make me laugh!

    Dahlia:
      She's nothing but a
      backstabber. I couldn't
      care less about her.

    Phoenix:
      Backstabber...?

    Dahlia:
      ...

    Dahlia:
      You just don't understand.
      ...You never will.

    Dahlia:
      Anyway...

(5)
Dahlia:
 The plan went wrong...
 but it seems to have
 succeeded anyway.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      You think the plan was
      a success?

    Dahlia:
      You heard me.
      Just as that woman
      had hoped...

    Dahlia:
      ...Maya Fey is dead.

    Dahlia:
      Now the title of the Master
      will pass on to Pearl Fey.

    Phoenix:
      *OBJECTION!*

    Phoenix:
      Th-That's absurd!
      M-Maya is just...

    Phoenix:
      She's just trapped!
      Trapped inside the
      Sacred Cavern!

    Dahlia:
      Really...?

    Dahlia:
      You're as foolishly optimistic
      as ever, aren't you...
      my darling Feenie?

    Phoenix:
      ...!

    Dahlia:
      Do you want to know the truth?

    Dahlia:
      Ever since we met...
      I've despised you.

    Dahlia:
      Your sniveling naïveté and
      your pathetic faith in other
      people.

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Phoenix:
      I just want to know
      one thing...

    Phoenix:
      What did you personally think
      of Morgan Fey's plan?

    Dahlia:
      I told you already, didn't I?
      It was a stupid plan.

    Dahlia:
      It had no point, no value
      other than fulfilling her
      own greedy desires...

    Dahlia:
      ...Yes.
      It was certainly nothing
      to be proud of.

    Phoenix:
      If that's how you feel, why
      did you help her carry it
      out!?

    Phoenix:
      Why would you do it...?
      Why would you kill Maya!?

    Dahlia:
      ...

    Dahlia:
      You may not understand it,
      being the kind and gentle soul
      that you are...

    Dahlia:
      You may not be able to
      appreciate why someone like me
      would help a woman like that.

    Phoenix:
      So then tell me!
      Why!?

    Dahlia:
      Isn't it obvious?
      I'm not like that woman.

    Dahlia:
      I only act in my own
      self-interest.

    Dahlia:
      The reason I helped her was...
      for myself.

    Dahlia:
      For my own personal
      satisfaction!

    Phoenix:
      What did you say...!?

    Phoenix:
      (So this woman,
      Dahlia Hawthorne...)

    Phoenix:
      (She had her own reason
      for wanting Maya dead...!?)

    ADD STATEMENT (5b)

(5b)
Dahlia:
 Do you understand why I
 would kill Maya Fey now?
 What my goal was?

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Obviously... It's because
      you were helping Morgan Fey.

    Dahlia:
      Helping...?
      Don't make me laugh.

    Dahlia:
      From the day I was born
      to the day I died, I never
      helped anyone!

    Dahlia:
      I lived for myself and, in
      the end, I died for myself.
      I thought that was obvious.

    Phoenix:
      (So she wasn't actually
      cooperating with Morgan...)

    Phoenix:
      (She was just using Morgan
      and her plan so she could
      accomplish her own goal!)

    Dahlia:
      All I wanted to do was
      kill Maya Fey.

    Dahlia:
      That was the only way
      I could think of to get
      revenge...

    Phoenix:
      (Revenge...?)

    Phoenix:
      (It looks like I have no
      choice but to present that
      piece of evidence...)

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I can't believe it!
 She meant to kill Maya...)

Phoenix:
 (I've got to keep a
 cool head!)

Phoenix:
 (And... I need to get more
 information out of her.)

Phoenix:
 (It's the only way to
 understand this plan, and
 what she was after as well!)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Mia Fey profile* at (5b)

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Could it be...

Phoenix:
 ...that your actual goal had
 nothing to do with Maya Fey
 herself...?

Dahlia:
 ...As I said, none of you
 have the power to punish
 me anymore.

Dahlia:
 Because I'm already dead.

Dahlia:
 Well, I had the same problem,
 you see.

Dahlia:
 You can't punish the dead...
 and you can't take revenge
 against them either.

Judge:
 Y-You wanted to take
 revenge on someone?

Dahlia:
 I was sentenced to die
 because of that woman...

Dahlia:
 Mia Fey.

Phoenix:
 (I somehow knew this was
 it...)

Dahlia:
 ...I wanted to send her
 a message.

Dahlia:
 It was at her hands
 that I suffered my
 first humiliation...

Dahlia:
 I wanted her to feel the
 same pain she made me feel!

Dahlia:
 Sadly... when I realized
 revenge was impossible,
 I gave up.

Godot:
 And the reason it was
 impossible...?

Godot:
 Was it perhaps because
 Mia Fey had already died...?

Dahlia:
 Yes. And I realized...
 there's only one way to
 take revenge against the dead.

Judge:
 A-And how do you do that?

Dahlia:
 Even when the body dies,
 the spirit, the ego, it lives
 on... forever.

Dahlia:
 I wanted to take away
 the person that Mia Fey
 loved most.

Dahlia:
 I wanted to kill her
 with my own hands!

Dahlia:
 That would be the one and
 only way I could take my
 revenge against Mia Fey!

Dahlia:
 That was the reason I helped
 out with that woman's plans!

Phoenix:
 Just for that!?
 For that you would kill Maya!?

Phoenix:
 Your goal was no different
 than that of Morgan Fey!

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 As they say, "The apple
 doesn't fall far from the
 tree."

Judge:
 What a cruel plan...
 Cruel, cold, and heartless.

Dahlia:
 ...Hmph!
 Don't waste your time
 preaching to the dead.

Dahlia:
 I've already told you,
 there's not a thing you
 can do to me.

Phoenix:
 Grrrr...!

--------------------------------------------

Dahlia:
 That night...

Dahlia:
 ...at about 9:30 PM,
 I materialized into
 this world.

Dahlia:
 I quickly pinned my hair up
 and put on a demon-warding
 hood.

Dahlia:
 Then I picked up the staff
 that was by my side and left
 Hazakura Temple.

Phoenix:
 (So... it was Elise Deauxnim
 who channeled her after all.)

Dahlia:
 ...That ridiculous head nun
 never noticed a thing.

Dahlia:
 She left Maya Fey at
 the Inner Temple...

Dahlia:
 ...and wobbled back clutching
 her poor old back.

Judge:
 Wh-What did you do then...?

Dahlia:
 That kid was easier to handle
 than I had hoped...

Dahlia:
 I caught up with her in
 front of the stone lantern.

Dahlia:
 Then I took out the dagger I
 got from the storeroom and...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 S-So then you...

Phoenix:
 Y-You're saying you
 s-stabbed Maya!

Dahlia:
 ............
 It's strange, but...

Dahlia:
 I don't have a clear memory
 of what happened after that.

Judge:
 ...What does that mean!?
 No clear memory...?

Dahlia:
 I don't know...

Dahlia:
 I think...
 I think I was stabbed.

Phoenix:
 You were stabbed!?

Dahlia:
 At the last minute,
 Maya Fey must have
 stabbed me. I'm sure of it.

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 That's not like her at all!
 Maya wouldn't stab a French
 fry with a plastic fork!

Dahlia:
 Anyway, I suddenly
 lost consciousness...

Dahlia:
 But before I did... I scrawled
 her name on the lantern.

Dahlia:
 Just as I was passing out, I
 wrote "Maya" behind my back.

Dahlia:
 I had hoped it would cast
 suspicion on her.

Phoenix:
 (I-I can't believe she was
 thinking of that until the
 bitter end...)

Dahlia:
 ...That's where my memory
 temporarily stops.

Judge:
 It-It stops...?

Dahlia:
 I don't have any memory of
 actually killing Maya Fey with
 my own two hands.

Dahlia:
 My very last memory was...

Dahlia:
 ...Maya's terror-filled eyes.

Dahlia:
 When I woke up after that...

Dahlia:
 ...I was in the Sacred Cavern
 surrounded by darkness.

Judge:
 You were in the Sacred
 Cavern?

Dahlia:
 ...The entrance was sealed
 with one of those trick locks.

Dahlia:
 Somehow I had been trapped
 in there.

Godot:
 But how did you wind up in
 there?

Dahlia:
 ...I'd like to know that myself.

Dahlia:
 Anyway, I was worried...

Dahlia:
 I didn't know whether or
 not Maya Fey was dead...

Dahlia:
 And I swore I wouldn't return
 to the underworld until I knew
 I had killed her myself.

Godot:
 Hmm...
 For a ghost, you're one
 tough cookie...

Dahlia:
 I wanted to get out of there
 and make sure she was dead.

Dahlia:
 But...
 I couldn't do it.
 I couldn't get out.

Godot:
 The trick lock stopped you,
 huh?

Dahlia:
 I didn't know how to remove
 it.

Judge:
 So then you're saying...

Judge:
 ...you were actually confined
 against your will inside this
 Sacred Cavern...?

Dahlia:
 Yes! I wanted to get rid
 of that annoying lock
 as soon as possible...

Dahlia:
 But it wasn't easy.
 I kept getting interrupted
 while I was working on it.

Phoenix:
 Interrupted...?

Dahlia:
 It was early in the morning,
 but someone came into the
 Training Hall.

Judge:
 What!? Who!?

Phoenix:
 Could it have been... Maya!?

Dahlia:
 I thought the same thing.
 But I couldn't see.

Phoenix:
 Why not!?

Dahlia:
 If someone had spotted me,
 I would have lost my
 chance to take revenge.

Dahlia:
 ...So I made sure to hide
 myself well at the back of
 the Sacred Cavern.

Phoenix:
 (That morning... only two
 people could have gone into
 the Training Hall.)

Phoenix:
 (Maya and... Pearls...)

Phoenix:
 (Pearls went there to cover
 the hanging scroll in gravy.)

Dahlia:
 Still, I finally managed
 to remove the lock.

Dahlia:
 But... I was too late.

Godot:
 What do you mean by that?

Dahlia:
 ...The flies had already
 started to gather.

Godot:
 The bridge had been fixed
 and the police had started
 their investigation, correct?

Dahlia:
 Naturally, I couldn't go out.

Dahlia:
 So instead... I returned to
 the cavern and put the
 lock back on myself.

Dahlia:
 I realized I wouldn't get a
 chance to see Maya's
 corpse as I had hoped...

Dahlia:
 But just then...
 Lady Luck showed up.

Phoenix:
 Lady Luck...?

Dahlia:
 After that big earthquake...
 she showed up, all by herself.

Phoenix:
 ...The real Iris?

Dahlia:
 She said she'd come to make
 sure the Sacred Cavern was
 alright... Stupid girl.

Dahlia:
 I came out from the Sacred
 Cavern and got a feel for
 the situation.

Dahlia:
 ...And I locked her away
 in my place.

Dahlia:
 I had finally learned exactly
 what had happened...

Dahlia:
 It was then that I learned
 that the plan had actually
 succeeded.

Phoenix:
 What do you mean your
 plan had succeeded?

Dahlia:
 I had misunderstood one
 thing, you see.

Dahlia:
 That night, the one that
 had summoned me...

Dahlia:
 I had assumed that it was
 Pearl Fey.

Judge:
 W-Well of course you would've
 assumed that. It was written
 in the instructions.

Dahlia:
 But... I was wrong.

Dahlia:
 The person that had actually
 called my spirit back was...

Dahlia:
 Misty Fey...
 The picture book author...

Judge:
 Wh... Whaaaaaaat!?

Dahlia:
 Well, that's really the only
 possibility, isn't it?

Dahlia:
 After I lost consciousness
 in the garden...

Dahlia:
 ...it was her body that was
 left lying there...

Dahlia:
 Maya Fey...
 I wasn't able to kill her
 with my own hands after all.

Dahlia:
 But even so... I made her
 commit the most vile sin
 a human can commit.

Judge:
 And that is...?

Dahlia:
 Matricide. The sin of killing
 her own mother!

Phoenix:
 Ugggh...
 NOOOO WAY!!

Judge:
 Or-Order! Order in the court!
 What is the meaning of this!?

Dahlia:
 It's true that I was the
 one who attacked Maya Fey...

Dahlia:
 But even so...

Dahlia:
 ...the murderer who actually
 snuffed out Misty Fey's life
 was none other than...

Dahlia:
 ...your darling little Maya!

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 R-Ridiculous!
 That's nonsense...

Dahlia:
 Are you sure about that?
 ...Just think about it.

Dahlia:
 There's even evidence
 supporting these facts,
 isn't there?

Phoenix:
 What...!?
 What do you mean?

Phoenix:
 Wh-What is this so-called
 evidence!?

Dahlia:
 ...The fact that Maya Fey
 has disappeared is evidence
 enough, isn't it?

Phoenix:
 Huh...?

Dahlia:
 The idea that she's still in
 the Sacred Cavern is just
 ridiculous.

Dahlia:
 She wasn't able to escape from
 the Inner Temple, that much
 is obvious.

Dahlia:
 In that case, there is only
 one place she could be.

Judge:
 Wh-Where...?

Dahlia:
 Do I have to spell it out?
 ...The bottom of the
 Eagle River, where else?

Godot:
 Ea-Eagle River...!?

Dahlia:
 Maya Fey killed her
 long-lost mother.

Dahlia:
 Can you imagine the guilt
 she must have felt
 when she realized that?

Dahlia:
 That's why she threw
 herself into the Eagle River.

Dahlia:
 Most bodies that wind up
 in there are lost forever.

Dahlia:
 So, what do you have
 to say now... Feenie?

Phoenix:
 Ooooh... Uuuuuhhhh...

Phone:
 .........

Godot:
 ...Oops.
 Sorry, that's my phone.

Phoenix:
 (What kind of ringtone
 is that...?)

Phone:
 ...*beep*...

Godot:
 ...Godot here.

Godot:
 .........
 ...OK. Thanks.

Phone:
 ...*beep*...

Judge:
 W-Was it something important?

Godot:
 They just finished removing
 the locks from the Sacred
 Cavern.

Phoenix:
 That's great!

Phoenix:
 What about Maya?

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 There was a woman
 in the cave...

Judge:
 Was it Maya Fey...?

Godot:
 It was the accused...
 Sister Iris.

Phoenix:
 Huh...?

Dahlia:
 Don't look so surprised.

Dahlia:
 ...I locked her in there
 yesterday. I just got finished
 telling you that.

Phoenix:
 So... what about Maya?
 Where is she?

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 There was no one else found
 inside the Sacred Cavern.

Phoenix:
 N-No... It can't be...

Dahlia:
 I told you, didn't I?
 She's dead.

Phoenix:
 No...

Phoenix:
 Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
 ooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 It seems...

Judge:
 ...that this case has come to
 an end... A tragic end...

Judge:
 Sadly, it appears the killer
 of Elise Deauxnim, also known
 as Misty Fey...

Judge:
 ...was her own daughter,
 Maya Fey.

Judge:
 Overcome with guilt for
 what she had done...

Judge:
 ...Maya Fey jumped to her
 death into the raging waters
 of the Eagle River!

Phoenix:
 (It can't be...)

 ...Ha!...

Godot:
 Trite...
 Have you ever heard this one?

Godot:
 "Once you eliminate
 the impossible..."

Godot:
 "...whatever remains
 must be the truth."

Godot:
 ...No matter how improbable
 it may seem.

Judge:
 Wh...
 What is that supposed to mean,
 Prosecutor Godot...?

Godot:
 According to this witness...

Godot:
 ...Maya Fey threw herself
 into the Eagle River.

Godot:
 However...
 is that really the truth?

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 Remember, this woman
 testified earlier that...

Godot:
 ...the bridge was already
 on fire when the murder was
 taking place in the garden.

Godot:
 Which means if Maya had
 thrown herself into the
 river...

Godot:
 ...it must have been from the
 Inner Temple side, near the
 bridge.

Dahlia:
 That's right! That's where
 she jumped from...

Godot:
 But that's impossible.

Godot:
 It's impossible to jump into
 the river from there!

Phoenix:
 ...!
 (Wh-What...!?)

Godot:
 Don't get your panties
 all twisted up, Trite.

Godot:
 Just relax and think through
 the whole thing again.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-23">
Phoenix:
 (So it's impossible...?)

Phoenix:
 (Maya couldn't have thrown
 herself into Eagle River...?)

Judge:
 ...Well, Mr. Wright?

Judge:
 Ms. Hawthorne claims Ms. Fey
 threw herself into the river
 from the Inner Temple side.

Judge:
 Do you have any evidence
 that refutes this claim?

*Present Hazakura Temple Map or Dusky Bridge Photo*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 It's impossible to jump
 into the Eagle River from
 the Inner Temple side...

Phoenix:
 No one knows that better
 than this witness!

Dahlia:
 What did you say...?

Phoenix:
 Eleven years ago, you jumped
 into the very same river!

Dahlia:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 Just take a look at this
 overhead map!

Phoenix:
 As you can see...

Phoenix:
 ...below the cliff on the
 Inner Temple side is a
 big rock shelf!

Judge:
 Oh...
 Ooooh!
 Y-You're right!

Phoenix:
 She wouldn't have reached
 the river if she had jumped
 off from there.

Phoenix:
 In other words...

Phoenix:
 If she had jumped, we should
 be able to see her body in
 this photo!

Dahlia:
 Ah!

Godot:
 Ha...!
 So you finally figured it out!

Dahlia:
 You...!
 Nooooooooo!

Judge:
 O-Order! Order!!

Dahlia:
 You... You're just playing
 with me!

Dahlia:
 Maya Fey's body is at the
 bottom of the Eagle River!

Dahlia:
 There's nowhere else she
 could possibly be hiding!

Phoenix:
 Ms. Hawthorne...
 Have you ever heard this
 one before?

Phoenix:
 "Once you eliminate
 the impossible..."

Phoenix:
 "...whatever remains
 must be the truth."

Dahlia:
 Yes, just a few minutes ago.

Phoenix:
 ...Maya Fey wasn't inside
 the Sacred Cavern.

Phoenix:
 We now know that she didn't
 throw herself into the
 Eagle River.

Godot:
 ...Correct.

Godot:
 That eliminates all the most
 likely possibilities.

Phoenix:
 Now, although it seems
 improbable, there's still one
 other place she could be.

Judge:
 Wh... What...!?

Judge:
 What is this one possibility
 you are talking about...?

Dahlia:
 Th-That's obviously a bluff!

Dahlia:
 So where is her dead
 body then?

Phoenix:
 (Finally... I think the
 pieces are falling into
 place...)

Phoenix:
 (Normally the living have no
 way to punish the dead...)

Phoenix:
 (But I think there is a way
 to give Dahlia Hawthorne
 the ultimate punishment.)

Phoenix:
 ...Shall I tell you,
 Ms. Hawthorne?

Phoenix:
 Shall I tell you where
 Maya is this very instant!?
 Maya Fey is...

x

x

x Judge:

x
x Judge:

x

x   The police scoured the

x
x Godot:
x   You bet. Detective Gumshoe

x
x Judge:
x   Then the fact that Maya is

x
x Judge:

********************************************

Phoenix:
 There's only one
 possibility left.

Phoenix:
 Namely... she's right here in
 this very courtroom!

Dahlia:
 Wh-What!?

Godot:
 M-Maya Fey is here!?

Judge:
 You say she's here in
 m-my courtroom!?

Phoenix:
 ...Dahlia Hawthorne.

Phoenix:
 I seem to recall that you
 said...

Phoenix:
 "I had misunderstood one
 thing, you see."

Dahlia:
 So what!?

Phoenix:
 But I think there's one more
 thing you misunderstood.

Dahlia:
 What do you mean...?

Phoenix:
 Tell me something.

Phoenix:
 At this very moment...

Phoenix:
 ...who is channeling
 Dahlia Hawthorne!?

Dahlia:
 Wh-Why that...
 that's obvious!

Dahlia:
 It's Pearl Fey!
 That pathetic, little,
 sniveling runt!

Phoenix:
 ...You're wrong.

Phoenix:
 Pearls tried...
 but she couldn't do it.

--------------------------------------------

Pearl:
 I've never failed at
 channeling someone. This is
 the first time it's happened.

Phoenix:
 Isn't there any explanation
 for why you couldn't channel
 a spirit?

Pearl:
 ...

Pearl:
 It could happen if someone
 else was already channeling
 the same spirit.

--------------------------------------------

Dahlia:
 Someone called me
 before Pearl did...?
 But who...?

Phoenix:
 Pearls even tried again on
 the day after the crime.

Phoenix:
 But she couldn't do it...
 What could that mean?

Phoenix:
 I think the truth is becoming
 clearer to you right about
 now, am I correct?

Dahlia:
 ...
 Aaaah!

Phoenix:
 It wasn't Pearls that
 channeled you!

Phoenix:
 There was someone who
 called you before she could!

*Present Maya Fey profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 ...This is an easy one.

Phoenix:
 Pearls couldn't do it,
 and Misty Fey is gone.

Phoenix:
 There's only one
 possibility left!

Judge:
 Come on already...!
 I can't stand the tension!

Phoenix:
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Phoenix:
 The person channeling
 you right now must be...
 Maya Fey!

Dahlia:
 Wh...
 WHAAAAAAAT!?

Judge:
 B-But how could that be!?

Judge:
 Remember what this witness,
 Dahlia Hawthorne, said about
 her goal!

Godot:
 She said that her goal was to
 kill Maya Fey.

Judge:
 Yes, that's right.

Judge:
 But if Maya channeled the
 spirit of someone that
 was trying to kill her...!

Judge:
 ...

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Well, gramps?
 What would happen?

Judge:
 ...
 C-Could it be...?

Phoenix:
 It looks like you finally
 understand, Your Honor.

Dahlia:
 W-Well, I don't!
 What are you going on about!?

Phoenix:
 What I'm going on about is
 the reason Maya channeled
 you...

Phoenix:
 And there's only one reason.

Phoenix:
 To protect herself from you!

Dahlia:
 To... protect herself...
 ...from me?

Phoenix:
 Yes. On the night of the
 crime, you were only
 interested in one thing.

 Killing Maya Fey!

Phoenix:
 The path to the Inner Temple
 was closed off and there was
 nowhere for her to run.

Phoenix:
 So then the problem became...

Phoenix:
 "Where would be the
 safest place to hide?"

Dahlia:
 Ah...
 Aaaaaaaaaah!

Dahlia:
 Y-You mean...
 That's when she channeled
 me...?

Phoenix:
 All along you thought
 you had been channeled
 by Pearls...

Phoenix:
 That's why it never
 occurred to you...

Phoenix:
 ...that Maya's hiding place...

Phoenix:
 ...was you!

Dahlia:
 N-No...
 No...

Dahlia:
 DON'T SAY THAT!

Dahlia:
 Y-You're saying that I...

Dahlia:
 ...was played for a fool!?
 By that little whelp!?

Phoenix:
 ...

Dahlia:
 Maya Fey killed herself!
 Isn't it obvious!?

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Sorry, but no... It would have
 been impossible for her to
 jump into the Eagle River.

Phoenix:
 ...This was the only avenue
 of escape open to Maya.

Phoenix:
 The only way that Maya
 could disappear from the
 Inner Temple...!

Dahlia:
 I-I don't believe you...!

Dahlia:
 A stupid little girl like that
 who has never been out
 in the real world...

Dahlia:
 She could never have come
 up with a plan like that!

Dahlia:
 Who could have ever given
 her such a brilliant idea!?

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Well...

 ...Me, of course...

Phoenix:
 M...
 Mia!

Dahlia:
 Mia Fey!

Mia:
 It's been a long time,
 Dahlia Hawthorne...

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 ...So it's true...
 It was you.

Mia:
 ...Yes.

Godot:
 Ha...!
 You're something else...

Dahlia:
 B-But what...
 what are you doing here...!?

Phoenix:
 That hair...
 It's Pearls, right?

Mia:
 Tell me something, Dahlia...

Mia:
 I want you to think back
 to that night one more time.

Mia:
 You had just cornered Maya
 in the Inner Temple's garden.

Mia:
 And then... in the final
 moments of the fight,
 you lost consciousness.

Dahlia:
 I was stabbed!
 By Maya Fey!

Mia:
 Actually... Maya lost
 consciousness at the same
 time as you.

Godot:
 ...She did?

Judge:
 Not terribly surprising since
 she was about to be killed.

Mia:
 ...When she woke up, she
 was in the Training Hall.

Mia:
 That's when Maya decided
 she needed help...
 So she channeled me.

Mia:
 She explained in a memo
 the situation she was in.

Mia:
 She asked me what I thought
 she should do.

Dahlia:
 She did that...?
 I can't believe it...

Mia:
 Of course, I didn't have
 all the details.

Mia:
 But...
 One thing was perfectly clear.

Judge:
 And that was...?

Mia:
 I knew that you couldn't
 be allowed to wander free.

Phoenix:
 Free...?
 What do you mean?

Mia:
 It was a race against time,
 so I wrote down two things
 that Maya had to do.

Mia:
 Channel Dahlia Hawthorne
 as soon as possible...

Mia:
 ...and lock herself in the
 Sacred Cavern until help
 arrived.

Phoenix:
 (So it was Maya who put
 that lock on there...)

Judge:
 Yes, but why did you order
 her to do those two things?

Mia:
 If she hadn't done it...

Mia:
 ...Dahlia Hawthorne would've
 been channeled by someone
 else.

Mia:
 By one Pearl Fey.

Phoenix:
 P-Pearls?

Mia:
 Yes. Pearl didn't properly
 understand the plan.

Mia:
 So all she was trying to do
 was follow her mother,
 Morgan Fey's instructions.

Mia:
 If she had succeeded in
 channeling Dahlia
 Hawthorne's spirit...

Mia:
 ...things would have turned
 out very badly, to put it
 mildly.

Godot:
 .........
 ...So that's how it was.

Godot:
 Dahlia Hawthorne would
 have used the body of
 Pearl Fey...

Godot:
 ...to kill Maya at all costs.

Judge:
 Y-Yes, it certainly sounds
 like that was the intent
 all along.

Dahlia:
 H-How dare you!?
 I-I won't forget this...!

Phoenix:
 Why not just admit it?
 ...Dahlia Hawthorne.

Phoenix:
 Your little plan was
 nothing but a big failure.

Mia:
 Yes... Another failure to add
 to the pile of shame, wouldn't
 you say?

Dahlia:
 Wh-What do you mean by
 another!?

Phoenix:
 Think about it, Dahlia.
 Remember all your past
 crimes?

Phoenix:
 Not a single one of them was
 a success.
 They all ended in failure.

Dahlia:
 What...!? How dare you...!

Phoenix:
 11 years ago...

Phoenix:
 The fake kidnapping...
 Your very first crime.

Phoenix:
 You got your hands on a
 2 million dollar diamond.
 But...

Phoenix:
 ...after Terry Fawles escaped
 and went to meet with
 Valerie Hawthorne...

Phoenix:
 ...the truth was exposed.

Dahlia:
 Sh-Shut your mouth!
 That wasn't my fault!

Dahlia:
 It was because of that stupid
 oaf of a prisoner and that
 weakling of a policewoman!

Phoenix:
 And then... one year later.

Phoenix:
 You tried to kill me.

Dahlia:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 Well...
 I'm still alive, but...

Phoenix:
 ...you wound up killing
 someone else.

Phoenix:
 As a result, you were
 sentenced to death.

Phoenix:
 ...It's one stupid move
 after another for you.
 But it's no longer funny.

Dahlia:
 You...! Wipe that smug,
 happy-go-lucky smile
 off your face...!

Phoenix:
 And now this!

Phoenix:
 You've messed up again!
 You let Maya Fey escape.

Phoenix:
 Even though she was right
 there in front of you!

Dahlia:
 ...Grr...Mmm...Nnnn...
 Grrr... Ahh!

Dahlia:
 M... M... Mia F... F... Fey
 Mia Fey! Mia Fey! MIA FEEEEY!

Dahlia:
 You... You... spinster!!

Dahlia:
 I was supposed to kill
 Maya Fey like I swore I would!

Dahlia:
 And if only you had gotten
 this spiky-haired jerk the
 guilty verdict...

Dahlia:
 ...I wouldn't have been hanged
 to death!

Mia:
 ......

Mia:
 True.

Dahlia:
 ...!

Mia:
 But I think you finally
 understand, Dahlia Hawthorne.

Mia:
 ...You will never defeat me.

Dahlia:
 Wh-What...!?
 What did you say!?

Mia:
 Whether you're alive, dead,
 or somewhere in between,
 you will never defeat me.

Mia:
 As long as I'm around, you're
 destined to lose for all
 of eternity!

Dahlia:
 Grrr... Grrrr... Grrrrr...

Phoenix:
 ...I remember what you said
 earlier in the trial.

Phoenix:
 You said there was no way
 we could punish you...

Phoenix:
 ...because you were already
 dead.

Dahlia:
 What about it!?

Phoenix:
 Then you said...

Phoenix:
 "Even when the body dies,
 the spirit, the ego, it lives
 on... forever."

Mia:
 ...That's very true, Dahlia.

Mia:
 And that's exactly the
 punishment you'll never
 be able to escape from.

Dahlia:
 ...!

Mia:
 For all of eternity, you'll
 have to remain as
 Dahlia Hawthorne.

Mia:
 A miserable, pathetic,
 weak creature who can
 never win at anything...

Mia:
 And for you, there is no
 escape from that.
 No hope of freedom.

Mia:
 Since the day you
 were executed...

Mia:
 ...the narrow bridge that once
 stretched out in front of you
 has burnt to a crisp!

Dahlia:
 ...Y-You... OoOooOOh...

Dahlia:
 ...Y-You'RE... wROnG...

Dahlia:
 ...It... CAN'T... be...

Dahlia:
 ...How... coULd... I...
 ...loSe... to... THe...
 ...likES... of... YOU...?

Phoenix:
 It no longer matters!

Phoenix:
 I don't care whether you
 win or lose anymore.

Phoenix:
 The only thing I want...

Phoenix:
 ...is for you to come out of
 Maya's body right now!

Dahlia:
 ......
 ......

Dahlia:
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Dahlia:
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Dahlia:
 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Dahlia:
 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
 EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Dahlia:
 ...I'M... NOT... READY...
 ...NOT... READY... TO... GO...

Maya:
 ...Nick...
 ...Sis...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Now then...

Judge:
 I assume you are the real
 Iris...?

Iris:
 ...Yes. I was just rescued
 from the Sacred Cavern.

Judge:
 I must say you and your twin
 sister are indeed identical
 from what I can see.

Judge:
 In any case...

Judge:
 It appears that everything
 has finally been cleared up.

Judge:
 Mr. Godot.
 ...What happened to
 Dahlia Hawthorne?

Godot:
 If you ask me, Your Honor...

Godot:
 ...it looks like she went
 back to the hell she came
 from.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 It seems that Misty Fey wasn't
 the only victim of this crime.

Judge:
 Maya Fey, as well as the
 young Pearl Fey...

Judge:
 ...were also victims of this
 wicked and selfish plan.

Phoenix:
 Yes, Your Honor.

Judge:
 The tragedy of "Medium
 Valley" has finally come
 to an end, it seems.

Judge:
 It would be best for everyone
 if no further attempt was made
 to channel that spirit again.

Phoenix:
 ............
 Umm... Your Honor?

Judge:
 Yes, what is it?

Phoenix:
 About this whole
 "spirit medium" thing...

Phoenix:
 It's almost weird how
 comfortable you seem to be
 with the concept now.

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 Well, to be frank, my younger
 brother is quite judgmental...

Judge:
 He often criticizes me
 for not studying hard
 enough.

Judge:
 That's why I made a concerted
 effort to study up on the
 Kurain Channeling Technique.

Phoenix:
 (Hey! Isn't that the New
 Year's issue of "Oh! Cult!"!?)

Judge:
 ...I've seen quite a few
 things in my many years
 on the bench.

Judge:
 And in all that time,
 I've finally learned this one
 thing.

Judge:
 Each case is different,
 and takes place in its
 own world, if you will.

Judge:
 In order to fully understand
 that world...

Judge:
 ...first we have to immerse
 ourselves in it completely.

Judge:
 And that's where...
 My brother and I used
 to differ.

Phoenix:
 (Hmm, never thought of it
 that way...)

Judge:
 ...At any rate! It's time to
 pass judgment in the case of
 Iris of Hazakura Temple.

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 ...You're a little too fast
 with that gavel, Your Honor.

Judge:
 What do you mean by
 that, Mr. Godot!?

Mia:
 This trial...
 It isn't over yet.
 ...That's what he means.

Phoenix:
 W-What!?

Godot:
 Trite...

Godot:
 Remember what Miss Evil
 Spirit said in her testimony?

Phoenix:
 Huh? Dahlia's testimony?

--------------------------------------------

Dahlia:
 I caught up with her in
 front of the stone lantern.

Dahlia:
 Then I took out the dagger I
 got from the storeroom and...

Dahlia:
 ............
 It's strange, but...

Dahlia:
 I don't have a clear memory
 of what happened after that.

Dahlia:
 I think...
 I think I was stabbed.

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 ...Just as Dahlia Hawthorne
 was about to attack Maya...

Mia:
 ...she was stabbed and
 "killed" by someone.

Judge:
 Y-Yes...
 That's right...

Godot:
 The person that was ultimately
 killed was the spirit medium
 that channeled Dahlia...

Godot:
 ...Elise Deauxnim, no,
 Misty Fey.

Godot:
 But...
 who killed her?

Godot:
 We still don't know
 who did it!

Phoenix:
 Th-This isn't over!?

Godot:
 Unless someone else is found
 guilty, the accused is still
 on trial.

Godot:
 We can't let her walk until
 there is evidence that proves
 her innocence.

Phoenix:
 N-No way...

Judge:
 But...
 This court isn't prepared
 for any further testimony...

Godot:
 The prosecution is ready
 to call our final witness!

Judge:
 F-Final... witness!?

Godot:
 This one will clear up the
 whole mystery...

Godot:
 The mystery of
 "Who killed Misty Fey"!

Judge:
 ...Hmm, indeed!

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 Is it really alright...
 Mr. Prosecutor?

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 Of course it's alright...
 Madame Attorney.

Judge:
 Very well then...

Judge:
 Who is this final witness?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Isn't it obvious?

Godot:
 There's one person who saw
 the whole event and will put
 the final dagger in this case.

Judge:
 S-Someone who saw the
 murder take place...?

Godot:
 ...The very person who saw
 her mother killed in front
 of her own eyes.

Phoenix:
 Y-You mean...
 Maya!?

Phoenix:
 ...You can't!
 She can't testify after what
 she's just been through!

Godot:
 We need to find the truth.

Godot:
 The prosecution calls
 Maya Fey to the witness stand!

Judge:
 ...Very well.

Judge:
 But first, we'll take a
 brief recess.

Judge:
 ...We'll have to wait for
 Ms. Fey to recover before
 summoning her.

Judge:
 Once we receive the
 doctor's permission, we
 will proceed with the trial!

Godot:
 ...Hey, Trite.
 I've got something to say
 to you, so listen up.

Phoenix:
 ...What is it?

Godot:
 I don't think much of you
 as a lawyer.

Godot:
 It's always the same with you.

Godot:
 ...You somehow manage to just
 squeak by without even a faint
 understanding of the case.

Godot:
 Some beautiful woman always
 seems to come dashing in at
 the last minute to save you.

Phoenix:
 Y-You've got some nerve!

Godot:
 ...But that's not going
 to happen this time.

Godot:
 This time...
 you're going to have to
 do this by yourself.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Judge:
 That's enough! This court
 is now in recess!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 10, 2:56 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

Iris:
 I'm truly sorry about
 everything.

Iris:
 You were working so
 hard to defend me...

Iris:
 But I was missing all day,
 and we didn't even have a
 chance to talk...

Phoenix:
 (...She's right.)

Phoenix:
 (When I met "Iris" at the
 Training Hall yesterday...)

Phoenix:
 (...they had already switched
 places... and Iris was inside
 the Sacred Cavern.)

Iris:
 ...I wanted to at least be in
 the defendant's box today
 to root you on.

Phoenix:
 W-Well, it wasn't you fault.
 You were locked up this whole
 time...

Phoenix:
 There's something more
 important than that, though.
 I have to ask you...

Phoenix:
 Why did you help your
 sister out as much as
 you did?

Iris:
 Huh...?

Phoenix:
 If you had tried to get
 help at the Sacred Cavern
 yesterday...

Phoenix:
 ...you wouldn't have spent
 an entire day locked up
 in there.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 My sister...
 I felt sorry for her.

Iris:
 She was abandoned by our
 mother and never got any love
 from our father either.

Phoenix:
 Yes, but... it was the same
 for you too, wasn't it?

Iris:
 Yes, but at least I had
 Sister Bikini, who was
 like a mother to me.

Iris:
 If only Dahlia had come
 with me to Hazakura Temple...

Iris:
 I always...
 I always loved her...

Iris:
 Dahlia was always so smart,
 so strong... She never
 complained about a thing.

Iris:
 That's why I...

Iris:
 That's why I promised her
 that I would help her.

Phoenix:
 Are you talking about
 the fake kidnapping case
 11 years ago?

Iris:
 ...Yes. I-I wanted to be
 useful to her in some way...

Iris:
 B-But, as usual...

Iris:
 I was too cowardly...
 At the last minute, I ran
 away.

Iris:
 Because of that...

Iris:
 Dahlia's half-sister, Valerie,
 ended up...

Phoenix:
 (That was the case
 that wounded Mia so badly...)

Iris:
 But... things didn't end
 there, of course.

Iris:
 Some people suspected that
 my sister was involved in
 the murder.

Phoenix:
 Some people...?
 You must mean...

Iris:
 Yes, two defense lawyers.

Iris:
 Mia Fey...
 and Diego Armando.

Iris:
 After poisoning Mr. Armando,
 who was getting too close to
 learning the truth...

Iris:
 ...Dahlia even tried to kill
 the person who had unknowingly
 hid the poison for her.

Iris:
 You.

Phoenix:
 (...That's right...)

Phoenix:
 ...Iris.

Phoenix:
 There's one more thing
 that I have to ask you.

Iris:
 Yes, what is it?

Phoenix:
 On the night of the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...the person that cleaned up
 the corpse of the victim,
 Elise Deauxnim...

Phoenix:
 Was it...
 Was it really you?

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Yes...
 It was me.

Iris:
 That night, after I rang
 the lights out bell...

Iris:
 I went back to my room.

Iris:
 At around 10:30, I received
 a call on my cell phone.

Phone:
 .........

Phone:
 ...*beep*...

 "There's a problem...
 Come to the Inner Temple
 right away."

Iris:
 I... I got on the snowmobile
 and headed for the Inner
 Temple.

Iris:
 But...!

Phoenix:
 The path to the Inner Temple
 was cut off... Right?

Iris:
 Exactly.

Phone:
 .........

Phone:
 ...*beep*...

 "We can't just leave
 the body here..."

 "...Alright, let's do this as
 you said..."

Iris:
 It was me... I was the
 one that received her body.

Iris:
 The murder weapon had been
 left in her body so she
 wouldn't bleed too much.

Iris:
 The staff that Mystic Elise
 always held...

Phoenix:
 I knew it...

Phoenix:
 So the actual murder weapon
 was the staff.

Iris:
 ...Yes, that's right.

Iris:
 I brought the body back
 to Hazakura Temple on the
 snowmobile.

Phoenix:
 But why...
 Why did you alter the body?

Iris:
 ...I didn't want anyone to
 know that the staff was
 the murder weapon.

Iris:
 I didn't want to leave
 anything that would lead
 back to Misty Fey...

Iris:
 So I dressed her in a robe
 and stabbed her with the
 Shichishito...

Iris:
 I wiped the blood off the
 staff's blade and left it next
 to her on the ground.

Phoenix:
 ...Iris.
 Just tell me one last thing.

Phoenix:
 Tell me the name of the
 person that called your
 cell phone. The real killer.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 I'm sorry, Mr. Wright...

Iris:
 I can't do it...
 I can't say who did it.

Phoenix:
 ...
 I... I see...

*Victim's Staff updated in the
Court Record.*

Bailiff:
 ...Defendant!

Iris:
 ...Y-Yes...

Bailiff:
 The judge is calling you!
 He wants you to see you
 in his chambers.

Bailiff:
 He has some questions
 about Dahlia Hawthorne.

Iris:
 ...Alright.

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 Well then...
 I'll see you later...

Iris:
 There's something I want
 to tell you later.

Phoenix:
 Oh, um... OK...
 ("Something she wants
 to tell me"?)

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (So it's true...)

Phoenix:
 (Iris cooperated with the
 real killer...)

Phoenix:
 (Maybe even from the very
 beginning!)

Mia:
 ...Phoenix.

Phoenix:
 Mia...!

Phoenix:
 Umm...
 H-How is Maya doing!?

Mia:
 Physically, I'm not worried.
 She'll recover completely.

Mia:
 But emotionally, she's been
 hurt very badly by this case.

Phoenix:
 I-I see...

Phoenix:
 ...! You don't mean...!
 She's learned who
 Elise Deauxnim really was?

Mia:
 ...Yes. I went to the medical
 office and talked with her.

Mia:
 I told her everything I knew.

Phoenix:
 ...But why?

Mia:
 Maya is stronger than
 you think...

Mia:
 I knew she could take it...
 All of it.

Phoenix:
 What do you mean by that?

Mia:
 I want you to figure that
 answer out by yourself.

Mia:
 ...The trial is about to
 restart.

Mia:
 The real killer...
 Do you know who it is yet?

Phoenix:
 (Iris wouldn't tell me
 who called her. But still...)

Phoenix:
 (I think that just maybe...
 I know who it was.)

Phoenix:
 That night, the victim was
 killed in the garden of the
 Inner Temple.

Phoenix:
 And the criminal wasn't just
 there by accident.

Phoenix:
 Which means...

Phoenix:
 ...that the killer knew of
 Dahlia's plan from the very
 beginning.

Mia:
 ...And one more thing.

Mia:
 The victim was moved to
 the Hazakura Temple side
 by pendulum.

Mia:
 In other words... the criminal
 couldn't cross the bridge.

Mia:
 That means they were stuck
 on the Inner Temple side
 for almost an entire day.

Phoenix:
 (Exactly.
 So the criminal...)

Phoenix:
 (...was someone that wasn't
 in Hazakura Temple the
 following day...!)

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 That's as much help as
 I can give you.

Mia:
 The rest of the battle is
 yours to win... or lose.

Phoenix:
 OK, I've got it.
 ...Thank you, Mia.

Phoenix:
 (Finally... It's almost time
 to bring this case to an end.)

Phoenix:
 (What exactly did Maya
 see anyway...?)

Phoenix:
 (And who was it that
 actually killed Misty Fey?)

Phoenix:
 (Whoever it was,
 I have to prove it...)

Phoenix:
 (Me. All by myself.)


                                            To be continued.

February 10, 3:36 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 7

Judge:
 Now then, before we proceed
 any further...

Judge:
 ...I'm going to announce the
 results of the tests we had
 performed earlier.

Phoenix:
 Tests...?

Judge:
 Yes, tests. On the bloody
 dagger that was found
 stuck in the pine tree.

Phoenix:
 Oh yeah! That!
 (I totally forgot about it.)

Godot:
 That's the weapon that
 Maya Fey used when she
 fought with the victim.

Phoenix:
 So what are the results!?
 Was it the victim's blood,
 or...?

Judge:
 Due to time constraints,
 a full test wasn't possible.
 However...

Judge:
 There's one thing we can
 say with certainty.

Judge:
 The blood that was on
 this dagger was not the
 victim's blood!

Judge:
 ...That is all.
 Now then, let's restart
 this trial.

Phoenix:
 (So it wasn't Misty's
 blood on the dagger...)

Phoenix:
 (Then whose was it...?)

*Dagger updated in the
Court Record.*

Judge:
 I'm sure both the defense
 and the prosecution
 know this, but...

Judge:
 ...this trial is rapidly
 coming to a close.

Judge:
 Both sides will need to show
 some firm evidence with their
 claims.

Phoenix:
 I understand, Your Honor.

Godot:
 From what I've heard...

Godot:
 ...the witness is dangerously
 weak, physically speaking. So,
 let's finish this quickly.

Phoenix:
 ...Agreed.

Judge:
 Very well! Please bring in
 the last witness!

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 ...Witness, please tell us
 your name and profession.

Maya:
 Maya Fey.
 My profession is...
 Umm...

Maya:
 I'm the assistant manager at
 Wright & Co. Law Offices.

Phoenix:
 (Maya...)

Judge:
 According to the magazine
 I have here...

Judge:
 ...you're a spirit medium of
 the Kurain Channeling
 Technique...

Maya:
 ...

Maya:
 I... I'm frightened.

Maya:
 The Fey clan...
 I don't want any more
 to do with it.

Phoenix:
 (Oh, Maya... The pain the Fey
 bloodline causes must be
 unbearable...)

Judge:
 ...Very well.

Judge:
 Now then, Ms. Fey.

Judge:
 When the event occurred...
 you were in the garden of
 the Inner Temple.

Judge:
 And...

Judge:
 You witnessed the moment of
 Ms. Elise Deauxnim's murder.

Judge:
 ...Is this correct?

Maya:
 ...

Maya:
 I, umm... I...
 I didn't see anyth--

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Straighten up this
 moment, young lady!

Maya:
 Huh...?

Godot:
 Pick your head up and
 speak clearly. There's
 always time for crying later.

Maya:
 B-But I...

Godot:
 Your mother was killed right
 in front of your eyes!

Godot:
 There's nothing you can do
 to change that fact.

Maya:
 ...!

Godot:
 But there's something
 you can do...
 You can finish this.

Godot:
 You've been watching the
 whole thing right?

Godot:
 You've seen the witnesses come
 out and you've seen us squeeze
 the truth out of them.

Godot:
 Now it's your turn.
 ...Let's hear your testimony.

Godot:
 On the night of the crime...
 what exactly did you see
 happen!?

Judge:
 Witness.
 If you please.

Maya:
 ...Yes, Your Honor.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- At the Inner Temple --

(1)
Maya:
 I was passing through the
 garden on the way to a spare
 prep room when it happened.

(2)
Maya:
 Suddenly, someone struck
 me over the head...

(3)
Maya:
 I stumbled... and ended up
 against the stone lantern.

(4)
Maya:
 I think I screamed,
 "Help me!"

(5)
Maya:
 Then something warm
 splashed over me...

(6)
Maya:
 That's when...
 I lost consciousness.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...
 So you were struck
 on the head...

Judge:
 I suppose it must have
 been this staff.

Phoenix:
 Maya!
 The person who hit you...

Phoenix:
 It was Dahlia Hawthorne,
 wasn't it!?

Maya:
 I-I'm sorry, Nick.

Maya:
 I just... I couldn't see...
 I don't know who it was...

Phoenix:
 Maya, think hard...

Maya:
 Sorry, Nick, but I really
 couldn't!

Godot:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 Can't say it was an especially
 good night for young ladies to
 be walking around alone.

Judge:
 It seems that it will be hard
 to determine the criminal
 through testimony alone.

Judge:
 Very well then, Mr. Wright.
 Please begin your
 cross-examination...

Phoenix:
 ...
 (Maya... Hang in there...)

Phoenix:
 (She doesn't look well
 at all...)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- At the Inner Temple --

(1)
Maya:
 I was passing through the
 garden on the way to a spare
 prep room when it happened.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Who else was on the Inner
      Temple side that night?

    Maya:
      Well, Sister Bikini of course!

    Maya:
      But I remember her saying
      that Iris would be coming
      later as well.

    Phoenix:
      (On the day after the
      incident, Edgeworth met
      Bikini at Hazakura Temple.)

    Phoenix:
      (That means she couldn't
      be the criminal.)

    Phoenix:
      So then... did Iris actually
      come later like she said?

    Maya:
      Well, umm...
      Let me think...

    Phoenix:
      (She seems confused.
      It's probably because she's
      so tired...)

    Maya:
      No...
      I'm sure I didn't see her.

    Maya:
      She must have come
      while I was preparing
      for the training.

(2)
Maya:
 Suddenly, someone struck
 me over the head...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Who did it?
      Who hit you?

    Maya:
      Ah... Well...

    Maya:
      I didn't see who it was...
      I was hit from behind.

    Phoenix:
      You didn't see the person...?

    Phoenix:
      But after that, your attacker
      was in front of you!

    Phoenix:
      How could you not see who
      it was!?

    Maya:
      Oh!
      L-Let me think for a sec...

    Maya:
      I'm sorry...
      I just can't remember.

    Phoenix:
      (Maya is really having a
      hard time...
      What should I do?)

    *** Leave her alone ************************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Considering the conditions
    *   at the crime scene...)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (...it's not surprising she
    *   didn't see her attacker.)
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Ha...!
    *
    * Godot:
    *   So it looks like even you've
    *   got some compassion.
    *
    * CONTINUE
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Press her harder ***********************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...Come on, Maya, this isn't
    *   making sense.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Why didn't you see this
    *   person?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Umm, well, let me think...
    *   It was... Uh...
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Oh yeah! That's right!
    *   It was dark, that's it!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   It was dark...?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   It's not good to have too much
    *   light around when someone is
    *   undergoing spiritual training.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Hmm... Come to think of it,
    *   there was earlier testimony
    *   to that effect as well.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   So it was dark in the garden
    *   on the night of the crime...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Which is why she didn't see
    *   her attacker...)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (I thought maybe she was
    *   trying to hide something, but
    *   I guess not...)
    *
    * CONTINUE
    *
    ********************************************

    Judge:
      Judging by the testimony
      thus far, the identity of the
      attacker was most likely...

    Phoenix:
      ...The spirit that was
      channeled by Elise Deauxnim...
      Dahlia Hawthorne!

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    Judge:
      Very well, please continue
      with your testimony.

    Judge:
      What happened after you
      were struck on the head...?

(3)
Maya:
 I stumbled... and ended up
 against the stone lantern.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      What happened afterwards!?

    Maya:
      My attacker was in front of
      me, blocking off my escape.
      ...I think.

    Phoenix:
      Y-You... think...?

    Maya:
      After getting hit like that...
      I-I was in a state of panic.

    Maya:
      There were only two things
      rolling around in my mind at
      the time.

    Judge:
      Well now...!
      This is beginning to get
      interesting!

    Phoenix:
      So what were the two things
      rolling around in your mind?

    Maya:
      Umm...

    Maya:
      "My name is Maya Fey.
      One plus one equals two"...

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Maya:
      You see, for some crazy
      reason, I was afraid I was
      going to lose my memory.

    Maya:
      I know it's odd considering
      my life was in danger, but
      that's how it was...

    Judge:
      That's not odd at all. Your
      actions are understandable,
      given the circumstances.

    Judge:
      So... What did you do then?

(4)
Maya:
 I think I screamed,
 "Help me!"

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      You think you screamed, but
      you're not sure?

    Maya:
      Listen, I was a complete
      wreck!

    Maya:
      It was dark and I couldn't see
      my attacker...

    Maya:
      Was it a man? A woman?
      An adult? A child?

    Maya:
      I had no idea...
      I was scared out of my wits!

    Judge:
      Believe me, my dear...
      I'm certain I would have
      soiled my robes.

    Maya:
      I thought this person might
      attack me, so I... so I...

    Maya:
      Anyway, I'm pretty sure I
      screamed... I thought that
      it was my last hope.

    Phoenix:
      (Wow, it sounds like poor
      little Maya really was out
      of her mind.)

    Phoenix:
      (But I wonder what she meant
      by "last hope"...)

    Phoenix:
      (What do I do?
      Do I press her for
      more details...?)

    *** What did she scream? *******************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   So you're certain that you
    *   screamed, "Help me!"?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Umm... I think so.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Now that I think about it...
    *   Yeah, that's gotta be what
    *   I screamed.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Ha...!
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Is it all that strange, Trite,
    *   for her to have screamed,
    *   "Help me"?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (No, but...
    *   Something about that
    *   bugs me...)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Why would you face someone
    *   that's trying to kill you...)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (...and go through the trouble
    *   of screaming for help?)

    *** "My last hope" *************************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Wait a minute, Maya.
    *   What's this "my last hope"
    *   stuff?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Um, what...?
    *   What do you mean by
    *   "your last hope"?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   No, no, no!
    *   That's what you said...!
    *   You said, "my last hope."
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Huh? What?
    *   I said what?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ......
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Look, you were facing an
    *   attacker that you couldn't see
    *   and you screamed, right?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   You screamed, "Help me!"
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Um, yeah.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   But you testified that you
    *   screamed that because you
    *   thought it was your last hope.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Oh... Well, you know...
    *   That's like... What do you
    *   call it when that happens...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Maya's not doing so well
    *   up there...)
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Oh, yeah. Umm, I...
    *   Oh! That's right!
    *
    * Maya:
    *   I remember now... I was facing
    *   my attacker, but that's not
    *   who I was screaming at.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Wh-What did you just say...?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Yeah, that's right...
    *
    * Maya:
    *   It was the person behind my
    *   attacker that I was yelling
    *   at.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   That's who I was screaming
    *   to for help!
    *
    * Maya:
    *   ............
    *   ...Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Wh-What is it now!?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   I messed up! I didn't...
    *   I didn't mean to let
    *   that slip out...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Huh...?
    *
    * Judge:
    *   W-Witness!
    *   Are you absolutely sure
    *   of what you're saying?
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Behind the attacker...
    *   There was another person!?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Um, I am... Well...
    *   I uhh, I meant to keep
    *   that part a secret.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Nngh...
    *   What have I done?

    * Godot:
    *   Ha...!
    *
    * Godot:
    *   "It takes a ton of pressure
    *   to make a diamond."
    *
    * Godot:
    *   That's what I always say.

    * Maya:
    *   A ton of pressure...

    * Godot:
    *   ...You're in a court
    *   of law here!

    Judge:
      ...Alright then, witness.
      Go on with your testimony.

    Maya:
      Oh. Um... OK.

(4b)
Maya:
 I could see a man behind my
 attacker by the light of the
 stone lantern.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      A man?
      Who was this man?

    Maya:
      W-Well... Y-You see...

    Maya:
      I-I couldn't see.

    Phoenix:
      You couldn't see...?
      (She's used this excuse twice
      now...)

    Maya:
      Well, you know...
      Lantern light isn't very
      bright.

    Judge:
      Lantern light, did you say?

    Maya:
      There's a great big stone
      lantern in the garden!

    Maya:
      They always light it when
      an acolyte is there for
      training.

    Phoenix:
      ...

    Maya:
      H-Hey! You know what they
      say... "Under the lantern,
      darkness reigns."

    Maya:
      So I could see the person
      that was further away, but not
      my attacker, who was closer!

    Maya:
      Plus, there weren't any other
      light sources in the garden at
      the time...

    Judge:
      Hmm...

(5)
Maya:
 Then something warm
 splashed over me...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Y-You don't mean...!
      W-Was it...?

    Maya:
      I didn't know it at the
      time, but...

    Maya:
      I... I think it was probably
      blood.

    Phoenix:
      (Is she saying that's when
      Ms. Deauxnim, who was
      channeling Dahlia...)

    Phoenix:
      (...was stabbed in the
      back by the killer?)

    Maya:
      At that moment, I was
      paralyzed with fear...

    Maya:
      I was just sitting there
      in the snow.

    Maya:
      I'm sure blood got on
      everything around me.

(6)
Maya:
 That's when...
 I lost consciousness.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So what happened next?

    Maya:
      ...I don't remember.

    Godot:
      How were you saved?
      You don't even remember that?

    Maya:
      No...

    Maya:
      I haven't got any idea!

    Maya:
      Umm... I really don't know
      what happened at all!

    Godot:
      That's too bad.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I've worked side by side
 with Maya for 3 years now.)

Phoenix:
 (When she hides something,
 I can tell by how she acts.)

Phoenix:
 (And right now...)

Phoenix:
 (I'm absolutely certain
 she's hiding something!)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Stone Lantern* at (4b)

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 ...So there was a man standing
 behind your attacker?

Maya:
 Umm... yeah.

Phoenix:
 That man...
 He's the killer.
 He stabbed her from behind.

Phoenix:
 He's the one who killed
 Elise Deauxnim...

Phoenix:
 Otherwise known as...
 Misty Fey, your mother.

Maya:
 The killer...!

Phoenix:
 Maya...

Phoenix:
 You know who killed your
 mother, don't you.

Maya:
 Umm...

Judge:
 Wh-What is the meaning
 of this, Mr. Wright!?

Phoenix:
 To be frank, Your Honor,
 I think she is in shock and
 quite confused.

Phoenix:
 That's why she hasn't noticed
 the huge problem with her
 testimony.

Maya:
 H-Huh? What do you mean?
 What problem...?

Phoenix:
 ...Maya.

Phoenix:
 On the night of the crime...
 that stone lantern was
 out of commission.

Maya:
 Huh...
 What!?

Phoenix:
 ...It's true.

Phoenix:
 There was no light anywhere
 in the garden that night.

Maya:
 N-No!

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!
 M-Mr. Godot! Explain this!

Godot:
 ...Add the pureness of milk to
 the perfect, clear darkness of
 coffee. Stir.

Godot:
 That is the state of the
 witness's mind right now --
 a cup of café au lait.

Judge:
 C-Café o' Lay?
 Is that even legal...?

Godot:
 Mr. Trite's words are the
 milk and you are the spoon,
 Your Honor.

Judge:
 I-I'm a spoon!?
 I'm no spoony bard, I'll have
 you know!

Godot:
 You must have noticed
 it too, Trite.

Godot:
 ...This witness's mental state
 is highly unstable right now.

Godot:
 It's not hard to understand
 why she would make a little
 mistake like that.

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Sorry, but that's not going
 to cut it!

Godot:
 ...What did you say!?

Phoenix:
 If there truly was no light
 in the garden...

Phoenix:
 ...then there's a fatal
 contradiction in the witness's
 last bit of testimony!

Maya:
 N-Nick...

Phoenix:
 ...May I?

Phoenix:
 Recall the witness's statement
 about her attacker.

Phoenix:
 She said that she didn't know
 if it was a man or a woman,
 an adult or a child.

Phoenix:
 ...And yet!

Phoenix:
 The witness could describe a
 person that was standing</pre><pre id="faqspan-24">
 behind her attacker...

Phoenix:
 And she quite clearly
 described him as a man!

Maya:
 Ah...!

Phoenix:
 ...In other words!

Phoenix:
 That would have to mean
 that Maya actually saw
 our mystery person!

Phoenix:
 Despite it being so dark that
 she couldn't see the face of
 the attacker in front of her!

Maya:
 N...
 NOOOOOOOOOO!

Judge:
 Or-Order! Order! Order!
 What in the world does this
 all mean, Mr. Wright!?

Judge:
 Are you saying Ms. Fey saw
 the real killer under pitch
 black conditions!?

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Trite! Do you have any idea
 what you're proposing?

Godot:
 How could she have seen in
 the dark?

Godot:
 There was no other light
 source at the scene!

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 There are some things that
 you can only see in the
 dark, Mr. Godot.

Godot:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 Maya, you did see who the
 killer was in the dark.

Phoenix:
 And now... you're
 trying to cover for him.

Judge:
 C-Cover...!?
 For the man that killed
 her mother...!?

Phoenix:
 There's only one conclusion
 I can draw from this...

Phoenix:
 You know who this man is!

Maya:
 ......
 ...

Maya:
 Please... Nick...

Maya:
 I don't know anything...
 Please... I'm begging you...

Godot:
 ...Ha!

Godot:
 You talk a good game, Trite.
 But let's see if you can
 walk the walk.

Godot:
 It was pitch black.
 So what could the witness see?

Godot:
 I'm calling your bluff!

Maya:
 N-No, Nick! Don't...!
 P-Please! Stop...!

Phoenix:
 (Maya is dead set on
 protecting this guy...)

Phoenix:
 (The man who murdered Maya's
 long-lost mother...!)

Phoenix:
 (But... I can't let him get
 away with it.)

Phoenix:
 (I'm a lawyer.
 An officer of the court.
 I'm here to find the truth!)

Judge:
 ...Alright, Mr. Wright.
 Time to show us what
 you've got.

Judge:
 Who was this person that
 you say Ms. Fey saw in
 the darkness...?

xxx Present something wrong xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

x   *TAKE THAT!*

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

*Present Godot profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 Because it was pitch black,
 Ms. Fey was able to recognize
 the killer easily.

Phoenix:
 I'm sure the court would like
 to see for itself how this is
 possible, yes?

Judge:
 What!? B-But how do you
 propose to show us something
 like that!?

Phoenix:
 ...It's easy.

Phoenix:
 We just need to recreate
 the conditions of that night.

Judge:
 C-Conditions...?

Phoenix:
 Your Honor!
 The defense officially
 requests...

Phoenix:
 ...that all the lights in this
 courtroom be turned off!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 ...

Judge:
 Wh... Wh...
 This is...
 ...But it can't be...!

Godot:
 ...Ha...

Godot:
 That was a nice bit of
 deduction... Trite.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 Well, everyone...?

Phoenix:
 This is the man Maya saw
 on the night of the murder!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Judge:
 Prosecutor Godot!
 What is the meaning of this!?

Godot:
 ...

Judge:
 Surely you must be shocked
 to hear yourself accused of
 such a thing!

Judge:
 Why aren't you denying it!?

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Your Honor. You're
 asking the wrong person.

Judge:
 Wh-What do you mean by that!?

Godot:
 If you've got a question,
 ask the witness...
 That's one of my rules.

Phoenix:
 Well, Maya!?
 How about it?

Phoenix:
 What you saw that night...

Phoenix:
 Was it 3 glowing red lights?

Maya:
 ...

Judge:
 Well, witness?
 Answer the question.

Maya:
 ...

Maya:
 Y...
 You're wrong!

Maya:
 I-I...
 I never saw that!

Phoenix:
 M-Maya!

Maya:
 I thought the person that
 stabbed my mother was
 a man...

Maya:
 ...for a totally different
 reason!

Phoenix:
 Wha-Whaat?

Judge:
 W-Witness...
 M-Mr. Wright, what the...!?

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Stop your chattering,
 Your Honor.

Judge:
 Ch-Ch-Chattering...?

Godot:
 If it's worth asking, ask
 the witness.
 That's one of my rules.

Judge:
 ......
 Alright.

Judge:
 Well then, let's continue
 with the testimony.

Judge:
 Please tell us how you knew
 the killer was a man!

Maya:
 ...Y-Yes, Your Honor.

Maya:
 I didn't realize it until
 after I woke up, but...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Killer --

(1)
Maya:
 ...When I came to, I was just
 lying there on the Training
 Hall floor.

(2)
Maya:
 By the time I got back
 to the garden, the place
 had totally changed...

(3)
Maya:
 The torches were lit...
 And the body was gone.

(4)
Maya:
 And all of the snow around
 the stone lantern had been
 carefully cleaned up, too.

(5)
Maya:
 Since the person did all that
 work alone, I just assumed
 it was a man...

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 So it was after the crime took
 place that the witness came to
 think the killer was a man.

Maya:
 Yes... That's right...
 I'm sorry, Your Honor, I...

Judge:
 No need to apologize.
 It's as Mr. Godot said...
 You're utterly exhausted.

Judge:
 It's only natural that you
 would be a little confused.

Godot:
 ...

Judge:
 Also, if you consider the
 situation you described...

Judge:
 ...it doesn't seem too much
 of a stretch to assume the
 criminal was a man.

Judge:
 Mr. Wright. Proceed with
 your cross-examination.

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Killer --

(1)
Maya:
 ...When I came to, I was just
 lying there on the Training
 Hall floor.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So you lost consciousness
      when you were in the
      garden. Is that right?

    Maya:
      Yes. I think...
      I think it happened when
      the v-victim was stabbed.

    Phoenix:
      So then the person that
      carried you into the
      Inner Temple...?

    Judge:
      It could only have been
      the killer...!

    Godot:
      ...

    Maya:
      That's what I think, too.

    Phoenix:
      (So the killer carried Maya
      into the Inner Temple...)

(2)
Maya:
 By the time I got back
 to the garden, the place
 had totally changed...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Naturally the killer must
      have done it, right?

    Maya:
      Yes, I think so...

    Phoenix:
      But why would the killer
      tamper with the crime scene
      like that?

    Phoenix:
      There must have been
      something that the killer
      desperately wanted to hide.

    Maya:
      ......
      I...

    *
    ********************************************

    *** After pressing at (3) AND (4) **********
    *
    * Maya:
    *   The truth is...
    *   When I saw the crime
    *   scene, I felt something.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   You did?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Yes... I felt like the killer
    *   was hiding the evidence
    *   for me... for my sake...
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Wh-What?
    *   Hiding it for you...!?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Everyone knew that I was
    *   the only one at the Inner
    *   Temple that night.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   If Sister Bikini had come
    *   back and looked at the
    *   garden...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...She may have thought
    *   that you had done it...
    *
    * Judge:
    *   ...No, she definitely
    *   would have thought so.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   And you're saying that's
    *   why the killer...
    *
    * Judge:
    *   ...cleaned up the crime scene
    *   to make it look like nothing
    *   had happened...?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Yes. I'm sure of it.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Well, that's certainly
    *   an important piece of
    *   information!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   I want you to add that

    * Maya:
    *   Yes, Your Honor...
    *
    * ADD STATEMENT (2b)
    *
    ********************************************

(2b)
Maya:
 I think it was for my sake
 that the killer cleaned up the
 evidence of what had happened.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      They did it for your sake...?

    Maya:
      Well... If the body and the
      blood hadn't been removed...

    Maya:
      ...I would've immediately been
      the prime suspect, right?

    Judge:
      Yes, I suppose that's true.

    Phoenix:
      (Yeah, and if that happened,
      the body would have caused
      some other problems, too.)

    Phoenix:
      (If her real identity had come
      out right then, it would have
      been terrible.)

    Phoenix:
      ("Master of Kurain
      Killed by Own Daughter!")

    Phoenix:
      (I don't think Maya would've
      been able to handle it...)

    Judge:
      But still... It's rather
      difficult to fathom the
      killer's motives.

    Judge:
      What reason is there to go
      through that much trouble
      to protect you...?

    Maya:
      ...

(3)
Maya:
 The torches were lit...
 And the body was gone.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      The torches were lit?

    Maya:
      Yes. That's how I noticed
      that the whole scene had
      changed.

    Phoenix:
      (I'm going to say it was the
      killer who lit the torches...
      I mean, who else could it be?)

    Judge:
      The killer probably lit them
      since it'd be impossible to do
      any cover-up work in the dark.

    Judge:
      However, if that's true,
      there's one thing that still
      bothers me.

    Judge:
      Why did the killer go to the
      effort of moving the body?

    Phoenix:
      (That's true... It's hard to
      see how that would be of
      any advantage to the killer.)

    Phoenix:
      (The only one who would
      gain anything from that
      would be...)

    Phoenix:
      (...the only person that was
      at the Inner Temple, Maya.)

    Maya:
      ...

    Judge:
      Very well... Let me hear some
      more about the condition of
      the crime scene.

(4)
Maya:
 And all of the snow around
 the stone lantern had been
 carefully cleaned up, too.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So you're saying the killer
      cleaned up the snow?
      (It did look really odd...)

    Phoenix:
      (The snow was removed in an
      unnatural-looking rectangular
      shape around the lantern...)

    Maya:
      There were a lot of shovels
      around the Inner Temple.

    Maya:
      But they're all really heavy.
      Way too heavy for me to use.

    Judge:
      ...An odd fellow indeed,
      this killer.

    Judge:
      Why on earth would anyone
      want to take snow away?

    Phoenix:
      Well there's one thing
      I can think of...

    Phoenix:
      Didn't you say that a lot of
      the victim's blood sprayed
      onto the snow?

    Maya:
      Y-Yeah...

    Maya:
      The area I collapsed in
      ended up being splattered.

    Phoenix:
      In other words...

    Phoenix:
      ...the killer's purpose was
      to hide the bloody snow.

    Phoenix:
      I think that's the most
      reasonable explanation.

    Judge:
      Hmm, perhaps...

    Judge:
      However, there's something
      that's bothering me.

    Judge:
      If the killer just wanted to
      hide the snow with blood
      on it...

    Judge:
      ...there was no need to
      remove that amount.

    Phoenix:
      (That's true...)

    Phoenix:
      (He could have scooped up
      just the snow that was stained
      with blood.)

    Judge:
      It looks like there are some
      mysteries behind this issue.

    Maya:
      ...But, I think this will
      help explain them!

(5)
Maya:
 Since the person did all that
 work alone, I just assumed
 it was a man...

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So, you're saying that you
      never saw the killer, right?

    Maya:
      Y-Yes.

    Phoenix:
      But earlier you very
      clearly stated that...

    Phoenix:
      ...you saw a man behind your
      attacker.

    Maya:
      ...

    Maya:
      Nick... I'm sorry...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (The killer certainly went
 through a lot of trouble...)

Phoenix:
 (Moving the body by
 pendulum, manipulating
 the crime scene...)

Phoenix:
 (But for what purpose...?
 Why do all that?)

Phoenix:
 (Maybe Maya knows more
 than she's letting on...)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

*Present Stone Lantern* at (2b)

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 The body of Elise Deauxnim
 was carried all the way to
 Hazakura Temple's courtyard.

Phoenix:
 Then at the garden, the
 real scene of the crime...

Phoenix:
 ...the snow that we suspect
 was covered in blood was
 scooped up and removed.

Phoenix:
 It's reasonable to believe all
 this was done in an attempt to
 hide the true crime scene.

Phoenix:
 However...

Phoenix:
 There's still one matter that
 still seems somewhat odd.

Godot:
 Oh?
 And what would that be?

Phoenix:
 You must have figured it
 out by now, Mr. Godot...

Phoenix:
 It's the message written in
 blood on the lantern.

Godot:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 It was written very clearly
 on the white stone lantern.

Phoenix:
 "Maya"...

Maya:
 Ah...

Phoenix:
 If the killer was so motivated
 to protect Maya from
 suspicion...

Phoenix:
 ...then why didn't he wipe
 the writing off the lantern?

Judge:
 Aaaaaaah!
 You're right!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!
 B-But, Mr. Wright!

Judge:
 Isn't it a fact that the
 killer was trying to cover
 up the crime scene...?

Phoenix:
 Indeed. But it doesn't make
 much sense to move the body
 and remove the bloody snow...

Phoenix:
 ...then not wipe off the
 most incriminating thing of
 all -- the bloody writing!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 But if that's the case...

Godot:
 ...do you have an explanation
 for the killer's mysterious
 behavior?

Godot:
 Why would this killer move
 the body and remove all
 that snow...

Godot:
 ...but then leave the bloody
 writing on the lantern...?

Phoenix:
 (I don't know what the
 killer's plan was...)

Phoenix:
 (...but it's a fact that
 the killer left the writing
 on the lantern.)

Phoenix:
 (There must be a reason
 for it!)

Judge:
 Well then, Mr. Wright!
 Let's hear your opinion.

Judge:
 Why did the killer leave
 the message written in
 blood on the lantern?

xxx The killer wrote it. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
x
x Phoenix:
x   There's only one reason...
x   And it's easier to spot than

Phoenix:
 ...Prosecutor Godot.
 Earlier in this trial, you
 gave me some good advice.

Phoenix:
 "Once you eliminate
 the impossible..."

Phoenix:
 "...whatever remains
 must be the truth."

Godot:
 Maybe you're not as dumb
 as I thought.

Phoenix:
 The real killer wanted to
 disguise the fact that a
 crime occurred there.

Phoenix:
 If that's the case...

Phoenix:
 They wouldn't have left
 the bloody writing on the
 stone lantern on purpose!

Phoenix:
 Therefore, it must mean that
 they didn't notice it...

Maya:
 B-But... That doesn't make
 any sense!

Maya:
 The torches were all lit
 and everything...

Maya:
 There's no way any normal
 person would miss something
 as glaring as that!

Phoenix:
 You're right...
 There is no way any "normal"
 person would.

Judge:
 What...?
 What are you trying
 to say, Mr. Wright!?

Phoenix:
 There's only one person
 involved in this incident...

Phoenix:
 ...who could have missed
 seeing the bloody writing
 altogether.

Judge:
 And who would that be!?

Judge:
 Who is the person that

*Present Godot profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 Mr. Godot...

Phoenix:
 This is what you said
 yesterday...

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 My eyesight is pretty
 messed up.

Godot:
 Even with these huge goggles
 on my head, I still can't see
 everything.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 You can't see everything!?

Judge:
 Is that correct, Mr. Godot!?

Godot:
 ...

Phoenix:
 This lantern was submitted as
 evidence today.

Phoenix:
 I would like the court to
 think back to the moment
 it was first presented.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Th-This lantern...
 There's something written
 on it!

Judge:
 Wh-Why...
 It's written in blood!

Godot:
 Hmph... Nonsense!

Godot:
 This lantern...
 It's as clean as a whistle!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 ...Mr. Godot.
 Just admit it.

Phoenix:
 There are certain colors you
 can't see... Correct?

Godot:
 ...

Phoenix:
 You can't see red on a white
 background, can you?

Phoenix:
 ...That's right.
 We went through this
 once before.

Phoenix:
 During the poisoning case at
 Trés Bien...

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 This is the apron the
 delightful Ms. Byrde was
 wearing at the time.

Godot:
 And somehow spilled coffee
 on.

Judge:
 There's something still
 bothering me, Mr. Godot.

Judge:
 Why have you not explained
 the bloodstain to the court?

Godot:
 Bloodstain?
 What bloodstain would that be?

Judge:
 Don't play games, prosecutor!
 The blood-colored stain that's
 smeared all over the apron!

Godot:
 That's ridiculous!
 No one told me anything about
 a bloodstain!

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 You could see the coffee
 on the white apron...

Phoenix:
 ...But you couldn't see the
 ketchup.
 Because it was red.

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 Ha...!
 It's strange...

Godot:
 In a black and white photo,
 those letters would have
 appeared black to me...

Godot:
 I wonder...
 Why am I the only one
 that can't see them...?

Judge:
 S-So then... Mr. Godot!
 Are you admitting it!?

Judge:
 Are you admitting that you
 couldn't see the red writing
 on the lantern!?

Godot:
 ...Hey, gramps.
 Didn't you know?

Godot:
 That's the reason why I don't
 drink red tea!

Phoenix:
 (I wasn't sure about
 it until now, but...)

Phoenix:
 (I just can't believe it...
 Prosecutor Godot is
 the murderer!)

Phoenix:
 (But...
 There's no going back now.)

Phoenix:
 (I've finally figured out
 the truth...!)

Phoenix:
 ...Mr. Godot.
 The defense at this time
 formally accuses you.

Phoenix:
 You are the murderer of
 Ms. Elise Deauxnim, also
 known as Ms. Misty Fey!

Judge:
 It's hard to believe this may
 be true. However...

Judge:
 ...once again Mr. Wright has
 brought up a disquieting fact
 about you!

Godot:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 Just make sure you don't
 fill out the indictment in
 red ink, gramps.

Godot:
 Come on...
 How does a little graffiti
 make me into the killer?

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 Besides, it's not like
 it's my name that's
 written there.

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 I'm certain that the killer
 wasn't able to see the
 color red!

Godot:
 This is rich.
 Do go on, Trite.

Phoenix:
 The answer is right there at
 the crime scene.

Phoenix:
 In the snow...

Judge:
 The snow?
 How so?

Phoenix:
 Well, for example, why did the
 killer move all that snow...?

Phoenix:
 Your Honor, you said it
 yourself.

Phoenix:
 If they wanted to hide the
 bloody snow, why not take out
 just that area?

Judge:
 Yes, why didn't they take just
 that area...?
 Ah! C-Could it be...!?

Phoenix:
 Yes. The killer couldn't see
 the red blood that had seeped
 into the snow.

Phoenix:
 And so, he had to remove
 all of the snow!

Phoenix:
 He couldn't be sure of where
 the blood had landed, so he
 removed the whole area!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Isn't it more likely that the
 killer couldn't see the blood
 because it was dark?

Phoenix:
 ...Not a chance.

Phoenix:
 The torches were all lit.
 They would have been able
 to see fine.

Judge:
 ......
 It seems...

Judge:
 ...that once again, this trial
 has taken an unexpected
 turn, to say the least.

Judge:
 Can you explain this,
 Mr. Godot!?

 *HOLD IT!*

Maya:
 W-Wait!
 Just wait a minute!

Phoenix:
 Maya!

Judge:
 Wh-What is it, witness?

Maya:
 M-Mr. Godot...
 isn't the killer...!

Maya:
 After all, he didn't even
 come to the Inner Temple...

Maya:
 ...until 2 days after the
 murder took place!

Maya:
 He didn't show up until
 after that old bridge got
 fixed up!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Maya...

Maya:
 ...!

Godot:
 You can't testify to
 something like that.

Maya:
 Why...?
 What do you mean!?
 I may not look it, but I'm--

Maya:
 Eeeeeeeek!!

Godot:
 After the murder happened...
 you didn't even exist.

Judge:
 She didn't...?
 I'm afraid I don't follow...

Godot:
 Are you senile, old man?
 We established this just
 a little while ago.

Godot:
 After the murder, this witness
 was unconscious for a long
 time.

Godot:
 Because she was channeling
 Dahlia Hawthorne.

Judge:
 Oh...
 That's right...

Maya:
 P-Please, Your Honor!
 Let me add to my testimony!

Maya:
 ...Nick!
 Please listen to me...!

Phoenix:
 ......
 (Maya...)

Phoenix:
 (Do you plan to cover for
 Godot no matter what the
 cost...?)

Phoenix:
 (If that's the case, then I've
 got no choice.)

Phoenix:
 ...Your Honor!
 Let's hear her testimony.

Phoenix:
 If it means we're going to
 hear the whole truth, I say
 we should not silence her.

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Nicely done, Trite.

Judge:
 Very well, let's hear the
 witness's testimony.

Judge:
 Please tell us what happened
 at the Inner Temple after the
 murder.

Maya:
 Yes, sir. After I woke up,
 I began channeling and my
 spirit "left me", as it were.

Maya:
 But that little girl was there
 at the Inner Temple, too!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- After the Incident --

(1)
Maya:
 Pearly was also stuck on the
 Inner Temple side that night!

(2)
Maya:
 The next morning, she looked
 around, but couldn't find
 anyone.

(3)
Maya:
 The next day, when the
 bridge was finally fixed, she
 was in the spare prep room.

(4)
Maya:
 That's when Mr. Godot arrived
 at the Inner Temple for the
 first time!

(5)
Maya:
 He found Pearly first, and
 cheered her right up!

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 Who is this "Pearly"...?

Maya:
 That's my little cousin!
 Pearl Fey.

Judge:
 Hmm...
 So when did you hear
 about this?

Maya:
 Oh, just a while ago...
 When I was in the
 medical office.

Judge:
 I'm terribly sorry...

Judge:
 But what you heard from
 someone else is simply not
 admissible as testimony.

Maya:
 Whaaaat!? Come on!

Maya:
 Pearly would never tell a lie!

Maya:
 She's a way more honest
 person than I'll ever be!

Phoenix:
 (Real smart, Maya. You always
 know the best things to say
 when you're under oath...)

Godot:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 The prosecution has no
 objection. We believe the
 witness.

Judge:
 M-Mr. Godot!

Godot:
 Let's just move on to the
 cross-examination... If the
 defense has no objections...

Judge:
 Th-This is highly unusual,
 but...
 Well, Mr. Wright!?

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Let's get this cross-
 examination started.

Godot:
 ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- After the Incident --

(1)
Maya:
 Pearly was also stuck on the
 Inner Temple side that night!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So where did do you think
      Pearls slept that night?

    Maya:
      In the spare prep room next
      to the Training Hall, I guess.

    Maya:
      There's a rule that you can't
      enter the Training Hall during
      an acolyte's training.

    Judge:
      But even so, why did she go to
      the Inner Temple in the first
      place?

    Phoenix:
      It seems that Pearls became
      very worried about Maya.

    Maya:
      She knew that the spiritual
      training I was about to
      undergo was very intense.

    Phoenix:
      (Pearls was supposed to
      channel Dahlia Hawthorne...)

    Phoenix:
      (But she couldn't do it.
      That's why she headed
      to the Inner Temple.)

    Phoenix:
      (However, Dahlia Hawthorne
      was already there...)

    Phoenix:
      (...possessing the body
      of Elise Deauxnim.)

(2)
Maya:
 The next morning, she looked
 around, but couldn't find
 anyone.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      She searched the entire
      Inner Temple side, end to
      end...?

    Maya:
      Well, you see...
      Pearly gets pretty scared
      when she's alone.

    Maya:
      And there weren't that many
      places to look...

    Maya:
      She says that she even went
      back and forth several times.

    Phoenix:
      The Inner Temple side has two
      structures: the Training Hall
      and a spare prep room...

    Maya:
      And there's also a storage
      shack, I think...
      That's about it.

    Phoenix:
      (There was a storage shack,
      too?)

    Phoenix:
      ...Pearls was looking for
      other people, right?

    Phoenix:
      Would she have really examined
      a storage shack all that
      carefully...?

    Maya:
      ...

    Maya:
      Well, if it was me, that
      would be the first place
      I would investigate!

    Judge:
      Hmm...

    Judge:
      So that means it's possible
      that someone may have been
      hiding in the storage shack.

(3)
Maya:
 The next day, when the
 bridge was finally fixed, she
 was in the spare prep room.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Pearls didn't hear the sound
      of them working on the bridge?

    Maya:
      What do you mean?

    Phoenix:
      I was just wondering why she
      would stay in the prep room.

    Phoenix:
      If it was me, I'd at least go
      out and wait at the foot
      of the bridge.

    Maya:
      ...Oh. Well, Pearly said she
      was sleeping at the time.

    Maya:
      She said she was so scared
      during the night...

    Maya:
      ...that she couldn't sleep
      well and woke up a bunch
      of times.

    Judge:
      Poor little girl...
      All alone like that...

    Godot:
      Well, we know that she
      had at least one friend in
      the Sacred Cavern.

    Godot:
      ...Dahlia Hawthorne, who
      was busy battling with
      the trick lock...

    Phoenix:
      (She couldn't let anyone
      see her...)

    Phoenix:
      (So she wouldn't have
      shown herself to Pearls.)

    Godot:
      What happened after the
      bridge was finally fixed...?

(4)
Maya:
 That's when Mr. Godot arrived
 at the Inner Temple for the
 first time!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      So it was your first time
      on the Inner Temple side,
      Mr. Godot?

    Godot:
      Hmm? That's funny. Am I
      imagining things, or did the
      defense ask me a question?

    Judge:
      ...Mr. Wright, please save
      your questions for the
      witness.

    Phoenix:
      "What you heard from someone
      else is simply not admissible
      as testimony."

    Phoenix:
      Those are your words.
      ...Your Honor.

    Judge:
      ...
      Touché, Mr. Wright.

    Judge:
      Oh well... What do you
      have to say, Mr. Godot?

    Godot:
      Hot nights and even hotter
      coffee... That's what I
      always say.

    Godot:
      If it hadn't have been for
      this case, I never would
      have visited there.

    Godot:
      A freezing cold temple
      in the mountains...
      I think I'll pass!

    Phoenix:
      (So he had never visited
      Hazakura Temple or the
      Inner Temple, huh...?)

    Godot:
      ...Ha!
      You want to say
      something, Trite?

    * Phoenix:
    *   (Godot is lying!)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (If his first visit to the
    *   Inner Temple really was
    *   after the incident...)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (He shouldn't know about
    *   that piece of evidence!)

    ********************************************

    Judge:
      Very well, please go on
      with your testimony.

    Judge:
      After fixing the bridge, the
      policemen came over to the
      Inner Temple side, right?

    Maya:
      Yes!
      Then Mr. Godot...

(5)
Maya:
 He found Pearly first, and
 cheered her right up!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      H-He cheered her up...?

    Maya:
      That's what Pearly said...
      She said he was a very
      nice older gentleman.

    Maya:
      Thank you for looking after
      my cousin, Mr. Godot!

    Judge:
      And here I was thinking you
      were nothing more than a
      coffee-addict.

    Godot:
      Ha...!
      Cut it out...
      ...You're making me blush.

    Phoenix:
      (This guy is really beginning
      to get on my nerves... In more
      ways than one...)

    Godot:
      The truth is there aren't
      that many places to look on
      the Inner Temple side.

    Godot:
      The policemen were all busy
      going over the garden with
      fine-toothed combs.

    Godot:
      So I decided to carry out an
      investigation in my own way...
      Godot-style!

    Judge:
      I'm the same way.
      I like to hand down verdicts
      in my own way, Judge-style!

    Phoenix:
      (Hmm, maybe I should
      ask some questions,
      Phoenix-Style...)

    *** Forget it ******************************
    *
    * Judge:
    *   How about it, Mr. Wright?
    *   Do you have anything
    *   to add?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   No. I give up...
    *   This whole Phoenix-style
    *   thing, I mean.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   It seems...
    *
    * Judge:
    *   ...this phrase has become
    *   overused, so I'm putting an
    *   end to it... Judge-style.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Then let it go already!)
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Cheering Pearls up *********************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   So you cheered Pearls up?
    *
    * Godot:
    *   When I found that little
    *   girl...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...the first thing she asked
    *   about was her cousin,
    *   Maya Fey.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Really...?
    *
    * Godot:
    *   The bridge had burned down and
    *   she was huddled up in that
    *   tiny shack with no heat...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Even though she must have
    *   had a truly terrifying night
    *   out there...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...she asked about you before
    *   she said a thing about
    *   herself.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   P-Pearly...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   I noticed that you weren't
    *   anywhere on the Inner Temple
    *   side.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   But... I couldn't find it in
    *   me to tell her that.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   So I gave her my last cup.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   With milk and sugar... To hide
    *   the bitterness of the harsh
    *   truth.
    *
    * Judge:
    *   Wh-What a sweet story...
    *   *sniffle*
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (He had a thermos of coffee?
    *   Why doesn't that surprise me?)
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Godot's investigation ******************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   You said that you conducted
    *   an investigation of your own.
    *   Did you find anything?
    *
    * Godot:
    *   It looks like my investigation
    *   went about as well as yours,
    *   Trite.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   After all, I did miss the
    *   bloody writing on the lantern.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Well, I didn't miss it, so
    *   speak for yourself, Goggles!)
    *
    * Godot:
    *   The only odd thing I
    *   discovered was the beauty
    *   in the Training Hall.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Beauty...?
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...Misty Fey, naturally.
    *
    * Godot:
    *   Clad in her stunning Japanese
    *   garb surrounded by the hue and
    *   aroma of Western tastes.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (Western tastes...?
    *   Could he find a stranger
    *   way to describe gravy...?)
    *
    * Judge:
    *   So from there you headed for
    *   the prep room?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ......
    *   (Wait a sec...
    *   What did Godot say just now?)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (I think I just found his
    *   proverbial weak spot!)
    *
    ********************************************

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (There's only one thing
 of any importance here...)

Phoenix:
 (Where was Godot when the
 murder was taking place?)

Phoenix:
 (He must have already
 been at the Inner Temple
 when it happened.)

Phoenix:
 (Otherwise, he couldn't
 have killed Elise Deauxnim!)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Present Hanging Scroll* at (4) after pressing at (5) [+ third choice]

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 ...Mr. Godot.

Phoenix:
 The first time you crossed
 Dusky Bridge and went into
 the Inner Temple...

Phoenix:
 ...was long before the
 murder took place.

Godot:
 ...

Maya:
 Wh-Why do you say that!?

Phoenix:
 Because he just made
 one fatal slip-up.

Phoenix:
 The hanging scroll in
 the Training Hall...

Judge:
 Hanging scroll...?

Maya:
 B-But!

Maya:
 Mr. Godot is right!
 That scroll shows a picture
 of my mother!

Phoenix:
 Maya... I know you know who
 it is, but here's something
 you didn't know.

Phoenix:
 By the time the bridge had
 been repaired, two days after
 the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...the hanging scroll in the
 Training Hall looked like
 this.

Judge:
 What's that wonderfully
 delicious smell!?

Phoenix:
 The morning after the crime,
 someone covered it with gravy.

Maya:
 Gravy...?
 But why gravy, Nick?

Phoenix:
 Because gravy was much more
 than a condiment to the
 culprit.

Phoenix:
 Well, Mr. Godot!?

Phoenix:
 If you really hadn't seen
 the hanging scroll until
 after the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...you wouldn't have had any
 way of knowing that it was
 Misty Fey!

Maya:
 *HOLD IT!*

Maya:
 W-Wait a minute, Nick!

Phoenix:
 ...Yes?

Maya:
 T-Take another look at
 the hanging scroll!

Maya:
 Look! At the top...!
 There's a crest there!

Phoenix:
 Ah, that. It's the mark of the
 Master, correct?

Maya:
 Exactly!
 So if you know the
 meaning of the mark...

Judge:
 ...Then you could guess that
 it was a picture of Misty Fey
 on there!

Phoenix:
 True, but Mr. Godot described
 what was underneath like this.

Phoenix:
 "Clad in her stunning Japanese
 garb surrounded by the hue and
 aroma of Western tastes."

Maya:
 Oh...

Phoenix:
 Yes, it's possible that he
 knew what the crest meant.

Phoenix:
 ...However!

Phoenix:
 He couldn't have known
 that she was wearing
 Japanese clothing!

Phoenix:
 Mr. Godot!
 On the day of the murder...

Phoenix:
 ...you were hiding at the
 Inner Temple, long before
 the crime took place!

Godot:
 Can I ask you just one
 little thing, Trite?

Phoenix:
 ...What is it?

Godot:
 This whole theory of yours...

Godot:
 It all rests on a certain
 assumption.

Godot:
 That I knew beforehand
 that a crime was going to
 be committed.

Maya:
 Th-That's right!

Maya:
 Otherwise there's no reason
 for him to sneak onto the
 crime scene...

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 Of course Mr. Godot
 knew about the plan.

Maya:
 Huh...?

Judge:
 Wh-What did you say!?

Judge:
 Is it really possible that
 another person knew of
 that plan!?

*Present Burnt Letter*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 ...This crime was actually
 planned over a year ago.

Phoenix:
 Morgan Fey authored the
 plan for her daughter's
 future...

Phoenix:
 ...and these instructions
 were hidden somewhere in
 Fey Manor for a year...

Phoenix:
 However, by the time little
 Pearls found these
 instructions...

Phoenix:
 ...they had already been
 unsealed.

Judge:
 Unsealed...?

Phoenix:
 Yes. The killer had read these
 instructions long before
 Pearls ever found them.

Phoenix:
 That's how he knew the crime
 was to take place at the Inner
 Temple!

Godot:
 And you're saying this
 crafty killer... is me?

Phoenix:
 You bet I am.

Godot:
 But you just said that the
 instructions were hidden...

Maya:
 Th-That's right!

Maya:
 Mr. Godot couldn't have known
 where the instructions were
 hidden!

Phoenix:
 If he really wanted to know,
 he had one great chance to
 find out.

Judge:
 Y-Yes, and when was that...?

Phoenix:
 ...During a visit.

Maya:
 A visit?

Phoenix:
 Morgan Fey told her daughter,
 Pearl, about where the
 instructions were hidden...

Phoenix:
 ...during one of her visits to
 the detention center.

Phoenix:
 That would be the only time
 for someone to have learned
 where they were hidden.

Judge:
 Ea-Eavesdropping on a visit
 at the detention center!

Phoenix:
 Yes, it could be arranged if
 you were someone with easy
 access in and out of there.

Phoenix:
 Like for example, a prosecutor
 such as Mr. Godot!

Godot:
 ...!

Judge:
 Order! Order! Order!

Judge:
 M-Mr. Godot...!
 You're under fire again!

Phoenix:
 ...This murder could not have
 been carried out without
 prior knowledge!

Phoenix:
 And you...!

Phoenix:
 You were the only one that
 could've acquired this
 information before the murder.

Godot:
 ...Humans are afraid
 of the dark.

Godot:
 And yet... At the same time,
 we're fascinated and bewitched
 by it.

Godot:
 Maybe that's why humans
 drink the darkness that is
 coffee.

Judge:
 ......

Phoenix:
 Umm...
 Sorry for always asking, but
 what does that mean?

Godot:
 It means there's a reason
 for everything.

Godot:
 According to your theory,
 the killer in this case
 eavesdropped...

Godot:
 ...on a conversation during a
 jail visit where he learned of
 a hidden plan for a crime.

Godot:
 After discovering the plans,
 he hid in the Inner Temple and
 waited for the crime to occur.

Godot:
 Then he ultimately took a
 person's life.

Godot:
 ...And he did all of that just
 to protect this witness?

Phoenix:
 That's right.

Godot:
 If you're accusing me of this
 crime, I have to ask you...
 Why would I do this?

Godot:
 This girl is nothing but a
 stranger to me.

Godot:
 I've got no reason to go
 through that kind of trouble
 to protect her.

Godot:
 I am what you see.
 I am certainly not the type to
 rescue the damsel in distress.

Judge:
 Hmm...

Judge:
 The killer's behavior is...
 certainly... extreme...
 for lack of a better word.

Judge:
 Even considering that the
 killer wanted to protect this
 witness's life...

Judge:
 ...his behavior is still a
 little too unnatural!

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 However...

Phoenix:
 ...you had a good reason
 didn't you, Mr. Godot?

Phoenix:
 An unshakable reason that
 forced you to protect this
 witness at all costs!

Maya:
 ......

Maya:
 I knew it...

Maya:
 You've figured it out,
 haven't you, Nick...?

Phoenix:
 (Maya...)

Phoenix:
 (I guess you were doing
 your best to cover for
 Godot...)

Phoenix:
 (...for the same reason, huh?)

Godot:
 OK, Trite.
 I'm all ears.
 ...Let's hear it.

Phoenix:
 It's very simple...

Phoenix:
 Maya Fey is a lot more
 than just a stranger to you.

Judge:
 Wh-What's this...!?

Phoenix:
 There's one person who
 lies at the very center of
 this whole story.

Phoenix:
 One person that ties you
 and Maya Fey together
 inextricably!

*Present Mia Fey profile*

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 There's a very good reason
 why Maya Fey's life is so
 precious to you!

Phoenix:
 After all...

Phoenix:
 She is Mia Fey's only sister.

Maya:
 ...!

Godot:
 Mia... Fey.

Phoenix:
 You once worked
 alongside her.

Phoenix:
 That was when you...
 were a defense attorney.

Judge:
 W-Wait a second here!

Judge:
 Mr. Godot is... is a defense
 attorney!?

Phoenix:
 With Your Honor's piercing
 intellect, you must have
 figured it out by now...

Phoenix:
 The real name of this man
 who calls himself "Godot"...

Phoenix:
 His real name is...
 Diego Armando.
 Isn't that right?

Godot:
 The last time someone
 called me by that name...

Godot:
 ...was over 6 years ago.

Judge:
 Diego Armando...
 That name rings a bell...

Phoenix:
 It should, Your Honor.
 All of this is related to a
 single case...

Phoenix:
 A case in which a convict
 named Terry Fawles killed
 himself...

Phoenix:
 Mia Fey's first time in court.
 The tragic outcome left a
 deep wound in her heart.

Phoenix:
 She knew that behind it all
 was a heartless, scheming
 demoness in disguise.

Phoenix:
 But in the end, Mia couldn't
 tear off that disguise.

Phoenix:
 However, there was one man
 who reached out to help her.

Phoenix:
 ...Diego Armando, a senior
 defense lawyer at the office
 where Mia worked.

--------------------------------------------

Mia:
 It's my fault!
 It's all my fault that
 Mr. Fawles killed himself!

Armando:
 ...............
 Mia...

Armando:
 You can't cry yet.

Armando:
 The only time a lawyer can
 cry is when it's all over.

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 ...

Godot:
 I was moved by her...

Godot:
 The way she put all her faith
 in her clients... That pure,
 sweet heart of hers...

Godot:
 That's why... I could never
 forgive Dahlia Hawthorne.

Godot:
 Mia and I thoroughly
 investigated that fake
 kidnapping incident.

Godot:
 Then one fateful day, Dahlia
 wanted to meet with me...

Godot:
 It had been 6 months since
 the trial... We met in the
 courthouse cafeteria.

Judge:
 Ah...!
 I just remembered!

Judge:
 6 years ago!
 Right here in this courthouse!
 You were poisoned...!

Godot:
 Even I didn't see it coming.
</pre><pre id="faqspan-25">
Godot:
 Dahlia Hawthorne slipped some
 poison into my coffee.

Judge:
 Some newspapers at the
 time called it a murder.

Judge:
 But very little information
 about the case was released
 to the press...

Phoenix:
 But you weren't dead at all!

Godot:
 No official reports ever
 actually called it a murder.

Godot:
 I was just in a deep,
 deep coma...

Phoenix:
 I see...

Godot:
 ...My body shut down, and
 my life became nothing but
 a long, deep sleep.

Godot:
 That woman's poison
 did a real number on my
 central nervous system...

Godot:
 I lost my sight, and all of
 my hair turned white due to
 the damage it caused.

Maya:
 That's terrible...

Godot:
 Apparently it was a miracle
 that I ever regained
 consciousness.

Godot:
 Five years had passed
 since I drank that poisoned
 brew...

Godot:
 Then one morning, my eyes flew
 open... from the smell of a
 doctor's cup of coffee.

Judge:
 F-Five years...!?
 You were asleep for 5 years!?

Godot:
 And the worst possible
 news was waiting for me...

Godot:
 ...Mia Fey was dead.

Godot:
 From the very moment I opened
 my eyes... I had already lost
 everything I thought I had.

Godot:
 The woman I loved
 had been murdered...

Godot:
 And the woman I loathed
 had been sentenced to death.

Judge:
 The woman you loathed...?

Godot:
 The woman who had spiked
 my scalding hot coffee...
 Dahlia Hawthorne!

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Good ol' Mia.
 She didn't let me down.

Godot:
 She got her revenge before
 she checked out.

Godot:
 In the end...

Godot:
 There wasn't anyone waiting
 for me when I woke up.

Maya:
 Th-That's so sad...

Godot:
 For someone like me... For
 someone who had slept away
 their best days...

Godot:
 ...there were only 2 reasons
 left to live.

Godot:
 And it was for those 2 reasons
 that I decided to become a
 prosecutor.

Phoenix:
 If I may ask...
 What were your 2 reasons
 to live...?

Godot:
 The first was you, Trite.

Phoenix:
 Huh...!?
 M... M-Me?

Godot:
 If I hadn't drank that
 stupid poison...

Godot:
 ...Mia Fey never would have
 died, much less the way she
 did.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 You were the only one who
 was there to protect her!

Godot:
 But you let her die.
 It was all your fault.

Phoenix:
 I... It wasn't like that...

Godot:
 I wanted to see for myself
 what kind of a man you really
 were.

Judge:
 S-So that's why you
 became a prosecutor?

Godot:
 My other reason for living...
 She goes by the name of
 Maya Fey.

Maya:
 Huh? You mean me...?

Godot:
 You were the only way
 I could make up for the
 sin of not saving Mia.

Godot:
 One year ago, when the
 Kurain Village incident
 was resolved...

Godot:
 ...it was obvious that
 Morgan Fey was
 planning something.

Godot:
 Whatever her evil plan was,
 I was determined to stop it.

Godot:
 My role as a prosecutor put me
 in the perfect position to do
 something about her.

Phoenix:
 That's how you overheard
 Pearls's visit with Morgan at
 the detention center.

Godot:
 I knew that the time was
 drawing near.

Godot:
 Since I knew the plan,
 I thought I could foil it.

Godot:
 My goal was to outwit the
 plan. I thought if I could
 do that...

Godot:
 ...I could keep that girl
 from being caught up in it.

Phoenix:
 (That makes sense...)

Phoenix:
 (If Pearls had known that the
 actual purpose of the plan
 was to kill Maya...)

Phoenix:
 (...she never would have
 helped out.)

Godot:
 Finally, the day of the
 plan was drawing near...

Godot:
 I contacted both of my
 accomplices.

Judge:
 Accomplices...?

Godot:
 Iris of Hazakura Temple and...
 Misty Fey.

Godot:
 I especially needed the help
 of Iris...

Godot:
 She was to take the fall in
 my back-up plan in case we
 couldn't control Pearl Fey.

Maya:
 B-But...!

Maya:
 How did you contact my
 mother!?

Maya:
 She had been missing for
 almost 20 years!

Godot:
 Officially, yes...

Maya:
 What!? What do you mean,
 officially!?

Godot:
 You've heard about it,
 haven't you?

Godot:
 About the strong ties between
 the main family and the
 government...

Phoenix:
 (Now that you mention it...
 Bikini did say something
 to that effect...)

Phoenix:
 (She said that the Master of
 Kurain had great authority...)

Godot:
 Even without her official
 position, Misty Fey still
 wielded great influence...

Godot:
 The police have been keeping
 an eye on her movements all
 this time.

Godot:
 That's how I was able to
 contact her...

Godot:
 Again, because of my position
 as a prosecutor.

Maya:
 So my mother... was
 cooperating with you?

Godot:
 Don't ever forget...

Godot:
 ...no matter how far away from
 you she was, she never stopped
 thinking about you.

Maya:
 Sh-She was always...

Godot:
 That's why...
 I knew she would do
 anything to protect you.

Godot:
 If you want to know how
 strong her resolve to protect
 you was, look at her staff.

Judge:
 Her staff...?
 The one with the sword in it?

Godot:
 The day the plan was to be
 carried out arrived soon
 enough...

Godot:
 We met for the first time
 at Hazakura Temple.

Godot:
 That's when your mother
 showed me her special staff...

Godot:
 I realized it then...
 Just how far she was
 willing to go...

Godot:
 She was ready to use that
 sword to protect you from
 Morgan Fey, if necessary.

Godot:
 ...Yes!
 Even if it meant paying
 the ultimate price.

Maya:
 M-Mother...

Godot:
 That night...
 The night of the crime.

Godot:
 There was just one way
 to stop Morgan's evil plan.

Phoenix:
 You mean Pearls, don't you?

Godot:
 We had to make sure she didn't
 channel Dahlia Hawthorne...

--------------------------------------------

Elise:
 ...Well, Pearl? What are you
 going to do tonight?

Pearl:
 Well, umm...

Elise:
 If you'd like, you can
 come to my room.

Elise:
 Perhaps we can read some
 books together.

--------------------------------------------

Godot:
 We thought we could prevent
 her from playing her part
 in Morgan's plan.

Godot:
 But... She never showed up.

Maya:
 She was worried and followed
 me to the Inner Temple...

Godot:
 That was the thing we
 were most afraid of.

Godot:
 And that's why...

Godot:
 Misty Fey had to do
 the channeling herself.

Godot:
 She channeled Dahlia
 Hawthorne into her own body.

Judge:
 What...!?
 What do you mean!?

Phoenix:
 If she channeled the spirit
 first...

Phoenix:
 ...then Pearls wouldn't be
 able to do it herself.

Maya:
 ...!

Godot:
 As Master of Kurain, Misty
 Fey's power was supreme.

Godot:
 So that's how it went down.

Godot:
 She channeled Dahlia Hawthorne
 so that Pearl Fey wouldn't be
 able to!

Maya:
 Ah...!
 Whaaaaaaaat!?

Judge:
 What...!?
 Is this true!?

Godot:
 My role in the plan was to
 make sure no one was going
 to hurt Maya Fey.

Godot:
 That's why... I hid myself
 at the Inner Temple.

Godot:
 Just in case you needed to be
 saved from Dahlia Hawthorne.

Phoenix:
 Godot...

Godot:
 Anyway...

Godot:
 That's all I'm going to admit
 to... Trite.

Phoenix:
 Huh...?

Godot:
 There's no doubt about it.
 You're a great defense lawyer.

Godot:
 But... you're going to have to
 do the rest yourself.

Judge:
 The background leading up to
 this incident has been laid
 bare.

Judge:
 There's just one question
 remaining, Mr. Wright.
 "Who killed the victim?"

Judge:
 There are only two possible
 suspects right now.

Judge:
 Maya Fey...

Judge:
 And I'm sad to say...
 you, Mr. Godot!

Godot:
 Well, Trite...

Godot:
 If you're the real deal...

Godot:
 ...then finish this thing
 once and for all.

Godot:
 Show us beyond a shadow
 of a doubt that you can
 finish this on your own!

Maya:
 N-No, Nick...!
 P-Please don't!

Phoenix:
 M... Maya...

Maya:
 I... I heard the whole thing.

Maya:
 From my sister...
 In the medical office...!

Maya:
 That's why! That's why...
 I have to protect Mr. Godot...

Phoenix:
 ...

Maya:
 I can't do it...
 I can't testify against him...

Maya:
 After all...

Maya:
 ...he's the man who put his
 life on the line to protect
 Mia... and me, too!

Phoenix:
 Maya...
 I know that!

Maya:
 N-Nick...

Phoenix:
 But even so...

Phoenix:
 It doesn't absolve him
 of his crime!

Phoenix:
 ...Please, Maya.
 Testify.

Maya:
 ...!

Judge:
 Ms. Fey.
 Your testimony please.

Phoenix:
 This is the final testimony.

Phoenix:
 Don't bother trying to hide
 anything, because I'll know.

Phoenix:
 I want to hear the truth from
 your own lips...

Maya:
 ......
 I understand.

Maya:
 I'm sure you're right...
 I'm ready now, Nick...

Judge:
 Alright, young lady...
 Tell us about the moments
 before you lost consciousness.

Judge:
 What exactly happened at
 the time of the murder!?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Time of the Murder --

(1)
Maya:
 ...Just before it happened, I
 think I saw some red lights.
 Three of them.

(2)
Maya:
 I thought I'd ask for help,
 but... just then I was
 splattered with blood!

(3)
Maya:
 She wasn't dead though...
 And she struck back at
 the enemy behind her.

(4)
Maya:
 Suddenly, the red lights went
 out and the whole area was
 dark.

(5)
Maya:
 ...Just at that moment,
 there was a horrible scream!

(6)
Maya:
 Right after that...
 Dahlia collapsed and I lost
 consciousness.

--------------------------------------------

Judge:
 These red lights...
 I thought you said you don't
 remember seeing them!

Maya:
 I-I'm sorry...

Maya:
 I thought I saw them, but
 then they disappeared all
 of a sudden...

Godot:
 Ha...!
 Things break, Trite... Even
 the best of theories.

Phoenix:
 ...

Godot:
 Who was it that stabbed
 Misty Fey? It looks like
 you still can't prove it.

Phoenix:
 (Maya is telling the truth
 this time, I know it...)

Phoenix:
 (The rest is up to me!)

Judge:
 ...Well then, Mr. Wright!

Judge:
 Proceed with your final
 cross-examination of
 the witness!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Time of the Murder --

(1)
Maya:
 ...Just before it happened, I
 think I saw some red lights.
 Three of them.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      Lights shining in the dark?
      I don't think you could make
      a mistake about that.

    Maya:
      ...Yeah, you're right.
      I think I saw them, but...

    Maya:
      I can't say for certain...

    Maya:
      And I can't tell you for sure
      they were from Mr. Godot's
      mask either...

    Phoenix:
      (I don't get the feeling
      she's covering for him
      anymore, but...)

    *** Press harder ***************************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   But just after that, you
    *   turned towards the lights
    *   and called for help.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Isn't that because you thought
    *   the lights were coming from
    *   Mr. Godot's mask?
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Yeah...
    *   I guess so.
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Maybe that's what I was
    *   thinking at the time...
    *
    * Maya:
    *   But... I can't remember.
    *   After all...
    *
    * Maya:
    *   ...there was a person I
    *   couldn't identify in front
    *   of me!
    *
    * CONTINUE
    *
    ********************************************

    *** Leave it *******************************
    *
    * CONTINUE
    *
    ********************************************

    Phoenix:
      (Maya's life was in
      terrible danger at the time.)

    Phoenix:
      (There's no way she can
      remember the details of
      the scene perfectly.)

    Judge:
      ...Alright then, let's go on
      with the testimony.

    Judge:
      What did you do when you
      saw the red lights?

(2)
Maya:
 I thought I'd ask for help,
 but... just then I was
 splattered with blood!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      That blood... Was it Dahlia
      Hawthorne's blood...?

    Maya:
      I think so, probably.
      Just at that moment...

    Maya:
      ...I heard a soft scream
      that seemed to be close by.

    Maya:
      It was a woman's voice.

    Judge:
      So that was when the killer
      stabbed the victim from behind
      with the murder weapon...

    Judge:
      Is that right?

    Phoenix:
      (Without a doubt, Maya was
      in the middle of a really
      dangerous situation...)

    Maya:
      ...

    Godot:
      Anyway... the victim was
      stabbed by the murder weapon.

    Godot:
      What happened after that?

(3)
Maya:
 She wasn't dead though...
 And she struck back at
 the enemy behind her.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      S-Struck back...!?
      How do you know that?

    Maya:
      Well, you're right...
      I didn't see it exactly...

    Maya:
      But I could tell by the
      sounds of their breathing
      and movement.

    Maya:
      And also, the smell of blood.

    Judge:
      You have witnessed more horror
      than any young lady should
      ever have to in one life.

    Judge:
      So then, what did you
      do at that point?

    Maya:
      I... I couldn't move.

    Maya:
      I could just barely make out
      their shadows moving in
      the dark, but...

    Maya:
      I had no idea what to do!

    Phoenix:
      Could you still see the red
      lights you mentioned earlier?

    Maya:
      Y-Yes.
      I-I think so.

    Maya:
      But...

(4)
Maya:
 Suddenly, the red lights went
 out and the whole area was
 dark.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      They went out?

    Maya:
      Y-Yes. Suddenly I couldn't
      see them at all.

    Judge:
      Wh-What could it mean?

    Phoenix:
      (If the red lights were coming
      from Godot's mask...)

    Phoenix:
      (And they went out right in
      the middle of a fight...)

    Maya:
      Maybe the mask was damaged.

    Phoenix:
      (Or maybe it was
      knocked off.)

    Godot:
      Or maybe...
      the batteries ran out.
      Right, Trite?

    Judge:
      Or maybe those little red
      pin-head looking lights just
      stopped working.

    Phoenix:
      (What could have really
      happened then!?)

(5)
Maya:
 ...Just at that moment,
 there was a horrible scream!

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      What do you mean by,
      "Just at that moment"?

    Phoenix:
      Do you mean the moment when
      the red lights went out?

    Maya:
      ...Yes, that's right.

    Phoenix:
      The scream that you heard
      then, was it Dahlia Hawthorne?

    Maya:
      ...

    Maya:
      I don't think so.

    Maya:
      I'm pretty sure...

    Maya:
      ...it was a man's voice.

    Judge:
      Wha-Wha-Wha...
      Whaaaaaaaat!?

    Judge:
      S-So then, that scream came...
      from the killer!?

    Phoenix:
      That's got to be it.

    Judge:
      Hmm... Hmmm... Hmmmm...!

    Maya:
      I think...

    Maya:
      ...Dahlia Hawthorne must
      have taken the blade and
      attacked the killer with it.

    Judge:
      And then the killer let out
      a scream of pain, huh?

    Maya:
      After that, the killer stole
      the blade back and delivered
      the final blow... I guess.

    Judge:
      ...Well, Mr. Wright?

    Judge:
      It seems to make sense
      to me...

    Phoenix:
      (It sounds like a reasonable
      deduction, but I still kinda
      wonder...)

    *** There's a contradiction. ***************
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   I'm sorry to say this...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...but that interpretation
    *   would create an enormous
    *   contradiction!
    *
    * Judge:
    *   That makes sense. After all,
    *   my deductions are almost
    *   certainly never correct.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   Remember the testimony she
    *   just gave. Before the killer
    *   let out a scream...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...Maya said she had already
    *   been splattered by the
    *   victim's blood.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   In other words, the blade in
    *   the staff had already been
    *   plunged into the victim!
    *
    * Maya:
    *   Ah...! Is-Is that right...!?
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   She couldn't have struck
    *   back with a sword that was
    *   already stuck in her body.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   The weapon that caused the
    *   killer to let out a scream...
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   ...must have been something
    *   other than the staff!
    *
    * Godot:
    *   If you're so sure about that,
    *   then don't keep us waiting
    *   any longer, Trite.
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (There's only one thing
    *   I can think of...)
    *
    * Phoenix:
    *   (...that could have been used
    *   as the weapon here!)
    *
    * Godot:
    *   If Dahlia Hawthorne had
    *   already been stabbed in the
    *   back by the staff...
    *
    * Godot:
    *   ...what could she have used
    *   to strike back at the killer?

    Judge:
      Alright, let's go on
      with the testimony.

    Judge:
      The killer and the victim
      were fighting ferociously...
      What happened then?

(6)
Maya:
 Right after that...
 Dahlia collapsed and I lost
 consciousness.

    Phoenix:
      *HOLD IT!*

    Phoenix:
      And what about the killer
      that stabbed Dahlia...?

    Maya:
      ...I'm sorry, I don't know.

    Maya:
      ...

    Maya:
      R-Really!
      It's true, Nick!

    Phoenix:
      I believe you...

    Phoenix:
      (On this point, I'm sure Maya
      isn't lying.)

    Godot:
      Ha...!
      It appears...

    Godot:
      ...that the darkness has
      proven to be your undoing,
      Trite.

    Judge:
      Hmm...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I've got to use this
 testimony to prove that Godot
 committed the murder!)

Phoenix:
 (I really wish I didn't
 have to do it...)

Phoenix:
 (But for some reason...)

Phoenix:
 (I get the feeling that
 some part of Godot actually
 wants me to...)

RETURN TO THE START OF CROSS-EXAMINATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 *TAKE THAT!*

Phoenix:
 Naturally, the dagger the
 killer brought to the scene
 of the crime.

Judge:
 Oh...! That's right!
 I forgot about that...

Phoenix:
 This dagger was found at the
 crime scene, stuck into a
 pine tree.

Godot:
 Yes, the detective found
 that this morning and brought
 it to me.

Phoenix:
 Dahlia Hawthorne struck back
 at the killer with this!

Phoenix:
 And she managed to wound
 him as well!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 Just because he let out a
 scream doesn't mean that
 he was wounded.

Godot:
 For all we know, the blood
 on the dagger could have
 been from the victim!

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 Have you forgotten that the
 blood has already been tested?

Godot:
 ...!

Phoenix:
 Since we learned it wasn't
 the victim's blood, it must
 be the killer's blood!

Phoenix:
 The killer must have a wound
 somewhere on his body!

Judge:
 So you're saying the blood
 on this dagger belongs to
 the killer...?

Phoenix:
 Exactly!

Phoenix:
 A DNA analysis of the blood
 would prove it beyond a shadow
 of a doubt!

Phoenix:
 And yes, Mr. Godot. It would
 prove that it's your blood!

Godot:
 Nice theory, Trite.

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!

Phoenix:
 (Is this the end...?
 Have I done it...?)

Phoenix:
 (Even he won't be able to
 change the results of a
 scientific test!)

Godot:
 ...Ha!

Godot:
 Let me ask you something,
 Trite.

Godot:
 Let's just say that it turned
 out that I was the killer.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 Do you really think I would be
 stupid enough to leave
 evidence like that?

Phoenix:
 What...?

Godot:
 Just think for a second.

Godot:
 This dagger was found this
 morning by a detective and
 brought to me.

Godot:
 There was already a bloodstain
 on it, correct?

Godot:
 But even so...

Godot:
 I was the one who brought this
 dagger here to the courtroom.

Judge:
 Y-Yes... What does that prove?

Godot:
 Well, if I really were the
 killer...

Godot:
 ...I could've washed the
 blade off and then planted
 another person's blood on it.

Phoenix:
 Th-That's...
 It can't be...!

Godot:
 In any case, there's one thing
 I can guarantee, Trite.

Godot:
 That blood...
 It doesn't belong to me.

Godot:
 Not a chance!

Phoenix:
 Whaaaat!?

Judge:
 In any event, it seems to be
 established that the killer
 was wounded.

Judge:
 Alright then, witness.
 Continue your testimony.

Maya:
 *HOLD IT!*

Maya:
 W-Wait a minute...!

Judge:
 ...What's the problem?

Maya:
 Umm, I...
 I know I probably shouldn't
 say this, but...

Maya:
 ...there's a big contradiction
 in Nick's explanation!

Phoenix:
 M-Maya!

Maya:
 Th-This dagger...
 You said that it
 wounded the killer.

Phoenix:
 ...That's right.

Maya:
 But...
 But, but...!

Maya:
 If Mr. Godot had really
 been cut with the dagger...

Maya:
 ...his clothes should be
 bloody or have a rip in them,
 right!?

 ............

Phoenix:
 ...Umm, Maya?

Phoenix:
 Maybe he just changed his
 clothes? That'd solve the
 contradiction pretty easily.

Maya:
 What are you talking about?
 It's not that simple at all!

Maya:
 Remember back to the day
 of the murder!

Maya:
 Everyone that was on the
 Inner Temple side got
 trapped there!

Judge:
 Ah! Th-That's right!

Judge:
 And once the bridge was fixed
 and the police headed for
 the Inner Temple...

Maya:
 ...Mr. Godot was already there
 waiting for them!

Maya:
 He never had a chance to
 change his clothes!

Phoenix:
 Aaaaack!

Judge:
 Order! Order in the court!
 What the witness says is
 true--

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

Phoenix:
 W-Well, maybe he brought a
 change of clothes with him!

Judge:
 B-But...

Judge:
 No one could have predicted
 the lightning strike that shut
 down the bridge!

Judge:
 Why would anyone have
 brought a change of clothes!?

Phoenix:
 Nngh...!
 (Did the judge take smart
 pills during the last recess?)

Phoenix:
 Well then! Maybe the killer
 took off his clothes before he
 committed the murder!

Phoenix:
 That way he wouldn't get
 any blood on them!

Godot:
 *OBJECTION!*

Godot:
 That's impossible, Trite.

Godot:
 You know how cold it gets up
 there late at night!

Phoenix:
 Eh...

Godot:
 After a few minutes with no
 clothes on, you'd be frozen
 solid!

Phoenix:
 Aaaaaaaaah!

Judge:
 Hmm... Hmmm... Hmmmm...

Godot:
 Ha...!

Godot:
 So that's all you've got...
 I knew you weren't tough
 enough to finish this.

Phoenix:
 Urk...

Godot:
 Right now...
 if Mia Fey were here...

Phoenix:
 ...!

Godot:
 If Mia Fey were here...
 She would have closed the
 book on this case already.

Phoenix:
 (If Mia Fey were here...?)

Godot:
 So come on, Trite!
 Can you do it or not!?

Phoenix:
 ...

Judge:
 How about it, Mr. Wright?

Judge:
 You've accused Mr. Godot
 of being the killer.

Judge:
 But can you prove it?
 Have you got even one
 piece of evidence!?

Phoenix:
 ...

Phoenix:
 (The question isn't whether
 I can prove it or not...)

Phoenix:
 (The fact is, I have to prove
 it! That's the only choice I
 have.)

Phoenix:
 (I was taught that it's one
 of the rules of being a
 lawyer!)

Phoenix:
 ...I can prove it.

Phoenix:
 I'm going to bring your
 magnificent vengeance to
 fruition, just as you want it.

Godot:
 Ha...!
 That's good... A fighter till
 the bitter end, Trite...

Phoenix:
 ...

Godot:
 Since there's just one
 piece of evidence that can
 prove your point...

Godot:
 ...why don't we go for
 the unlimited penalty?

Phoenix:
 Are you trying to pressure
 me, Mr. Godot?

Phoenix:
 Because it doesn't matter to
 me. I've got the one piece of
 evidence I need.

Godot:
 G-Give me a break!
 You've got nothing, Trite!

Phoenix:
 (So what do I do at
 a time like this...?)

Phoenix:
 (It's simple! I've gotta think
 outside the box and approach
 this from a different angle!)

Judge:
 Alright then, Mr. Wright.
 Let's hear what you've got.

Phoenix:
 ...There's one thing I've
 demonstrated in the previous
 cross-examination.

Phoenix:
 The killer was wounded.
 That was proven by the
 blood on the dagger.

Judge:
 B-But...

Judge:
 We decided it was impossible
 for him to have hidden such
 a wound!

Judge:
 If he had been cut by a
 dagger, there should have been
 a bloodstain on his clothing.

Phoenix:
 There's one place...

Phoenix:
 One place the killer could
 have hidden his wound.

Judge:
 Wh-What did you say!?

Maya:
 H-hidden...?

Godot:
 ...

Phoenix:
 (This is it! My last stand!
 I need to think about this
 from a different angle!)

Phoenix:
 (I don't need to think about
 why there were no bloodstains
 on his clothing...)

Phoenix:
 (I need to show how he hid
 the wound!)

Godot:
 It's the end of the line!
 The final stop, Trite!
 Let's hear what you've got!

Godot:
 Where's this location where
 you say the killer hid his
 wound!?

 What I do know is that
 you'll never be half the
 lawyer she was!

Godot:
 Isn't that right, Trite...?

Godot:
 ...!

Godot:
 (Wh-What was that just now?)

 ...Mia?

Godot:
 (It-It can't be!)

Godot:
 (You're living on... through
 him...!?)

Phoenix:
 Even as we speak, you're
 still hiding the wound!

Phoenix:
 It's beneath your mask!

Phoenix:
 During the fight, the red
 lights given off by the killer
 suddenly disappeared.

Phoenix:
 Seconds later, the killer
 let out a scream.

Phoenix:
 That's right. Your mask
 went flying off your face!

Phoenix:
 Mr. Godot!
 Would you mind removing
 your mask?

Phoenix:
 If you have a dagger wound
 under there somewhere...

Phoenix:
 ...then I'd say this whole
 case is solved!

Godot:
 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Godot:
 Just now...

Godot:
 I saw her spirit in you.

Phoenix:
 ...?

Godot:
 ......
 I never liked you.

Godot:
 Six years ago...

Godot:
 ...you helped the woman who
 put me to sleep by hiding
 her bottle of poison.

Godot:
 And then...

Godot:
 While I was sleeping...
 ...you let Mia die.

Godot:
 But you didn't care. You just
 kept living your pathetic,
 happy-go-lucky life.

Godot:
 You even had the nerve to
 follow in her footsteps as
 a lawyer.

Godot:
 I could never forgive you.
 That's what I thought.

Maya:
 Mr. Godot...

Godot:
 But... I was wrong about you.
 I knew it from the very
 beginning.

Godot:
 The truth is, the only person
 I could never find it in
 my heart to forgive...

Godot:
 ...was me.

Judge:
 Y-You, yourself...?

Godot:
 I was the one that
 failed to protect Mia...

Godot:
 ...Me and no one else.

Godot:
 I tried to avert my eyes from
 the truth... to escape from
 the harshness of reality.

Godot:
 I just couldn't face Mia's
 death head on, so I ran!

Godot:
 I hid behind a mask.
 I threw away my true name.

Godot:
 I couldn't even deal with
 being a defense attorney
 anymore, so I quit.

Phoenix:
 But, but! You saved Maya!

Godot:
 Yeah.
 That was my plan...

Godot:
 Up until just now, anyway.

Maya:
 Wh-What do you mean?

Godot:
 Are you listening, Maya?

Godot:
 If I had really wanted to
 save you...

Godot:
 ...then there's one person
 that I should have gone
 and talked to right away.

Maya:
 Wh-Who would that be...?

Maya:
 Are you talking about Nick?

Godot:
 But I didn't do it...

Godot:
 I tried to get the help of
 Iris and your mother...

Godot:
 But I closed my eyes to the
 most important man involved.

Godot:
 Do you know why?
 The real reason?

Maya:
 No... Why?

Godot:
 I suppose...
 I wasn't really interested
 in saving you at all.

Maya:
 Huh...!?

Godot:
 I think I was just trying to
 salvage what's left of my own
 broken soul...

Godot:
 I was trying to make up for
 the fact that I couldn't save
 Mia. Nothing more.

Godot:
 That's why I let you walk
 right into a situation that
 I knew was dangerous.

Godot:
 Forgive me...

Phoenix:
 Y-You're wrong!

Phoenix:
 You put your life on the line
 to save Maya!

Godot:
 Was it really for Maya's
 sake...?
 Even I'm not really sure.

Judge:
 Wh-What do you mean
 by that...?

Godot:
 That night, in the darkness
 of the garden, when I saw
 her silhouette...

Godot:
 A part of me must have
 known the truth...

Godot:
 The truth that it wasn't
 really Dahlia Hawthorne
 standing there in front of me.

Maya:
 ...!

Godot:
 It could have been Misty
 Fey... Or even that little
 girl.

Godot:
 But I still picked up the
 blade... It was like I was
 dreaming!

Godot:
 I'm not sure exactly what
 was going on in my mind
 at that point...

Godot:
 Was I really motivated by
 the pure desire to protect
 Maya Fey?

Godot:
 Or was it something else...?

Godot:
 Was it my hatred for a woman
 who had stolen everything
 from me 6 years earlier...?

Godot:
 Could it have been simply
 a desire for revenge?

Godot:
 And now, I don't know anything
 anymore!

Godot:
 I did learn something
 today, however.

Godot:
 I finally realized that I was
 the arrogant one.

Godot:
 I was just... chasing
 an illusion, a fantasy.

Godot:
 The stupid fantasy of
 defeating you in the
 courtroom...

Phoenix:
 ...

Godot:
 You were the one who
 made me realize my folly.

Godot:
 You never ran away from
 Mia's death.

Godot:
 Instead, you picked up where
 she left off, as a true
 defender of the people.

Godot:
 In that one moment...
 I understood everything!

Phoenix:
 Mr. Godot...

Godot:
 I think you already know
 this, but if you don't...

Godot:
 My name is...
 Diego Armando.

Maya:
 M-Mr. Armando!

Maya:
 I believe in you!

Maya:
 I know you were
 trying to save me!

Armando:
 Hmm...
 Thanks.

Phoenix:
 Y-Your wound...!
 It's bleeding!

Armando:
 ...Ha!
 Did you forget already?

Armando:
 In my world, the color red
 doesn't exist.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Armando:
 These must be... my tears.

Judge:
 Tears...?

Armando:
 Ever since I woke up
 from my coma...

Armando:
 ...I think I've been waiting
 for this very moment.

Maya:
 M-Mr. Armando...

Armando:
 You'd do well to remember
 this, Maya.

Armando:
 The only time a lawyer can
 cry is when it's all over.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Judge:
 This time...
 It really is all over,
 isn't it.

Judge:
 ...Defendant.

Iris:
 Yes, Your Honor.

Judge:
 Although you weren't directly
 involved in the murder...

Judge:
 ...tampering with the body
 and the crime scene is a
 serious offense in itself.

Iris:
 I understand, Your Honor.

Iris:
 Mr. Armando explained
 that to me very carefully...

Iris:
 I knew the risk and I
 willingly cooperated anyway.

Judge:
 ...Very well.

Judge:
 Before I hand down my verdict,
 is there anything you'd
 like to say?

Iris:
 ......

Iris:
 Well, there is one thing.
 I'd like to say something to
 Mr. Wright.

Phoenix:
 ...!

Iris:
 I want to...
 I want to apologize to you.

Phoenix:
 Apologize? To me?
 For what?

Iris:
 For the case 6 years ago,
 of course.

Judge:
 I just remembered...

Judge:
 Weren't you poisoned
 by your own lover?

Phoenix:
 ...Not exactly, but yeah,
 something like that.

Phoenix:
 Even now... 6 years later,
 I can hardly believe it.

Phoenix:
 She was going to do it...
 She was planning to
 kill me...

Iris:
 ......
 It's not all that surprising.

Iris:
 The two of you...
 You hardly knew each other.

Phoenix:
 Huh...?
 What do you mean?

Iris:
 You and my sister...

Iris:
 You only met twice.

Phoenix:
 ......
 Huh.

Phoenix:
 W-We only met t-twice?

Iris:
 The first time you met was on
 that fateful day...

Iris:
 The day she poisoned
 Mr. Armando in the cafeteria
 of this very courthouse.

Iris:
 The next time you met
 her was... six months later.

Iris:
 You met her again on the day
 that she stole your cold
 medicine...

Iris:
 ...and Doug Swallow was
 killed.

Phoenix:
 N-N-No way!
 It just...
 It can't be true!

Phoenix:
 I mean, during our whole
 relationship, we were...

Iris:
 ......
 For those 6 months...

Iris:
 ...the woman that you thought
 was Dahlia Hawthorne...

Iris:
 ...wasn't actually my sister.

Phoenix:
 (Huh? It wasn't Dahlia...?)

Iris:
 ...

Iris:
 I hope one day you can
 forgive me... Feenie.

Phoenix:
 You...
 Y-Y-You mean...?

Iris:
 That's right...

Iris:
 I lied to you... for 6 months.

Judge:
 B-But why...!?
 Why would you do such a thing?

Iris:
 Ever since she gave you the
 bottle that day...

Iris:
 ...my sister was trying to get
 it back as soon as she
 possibly could.

Iris:
 Because of the police
 investigation and their
 surveillance...

Iris:
 ...she couldn't move about
 freely.

Phoenix:
 So that's why you...?

Iris:
 My sister...
 From the beginning, she was
 prepared for the worst.

Phoenix:
 P-Prepared for the worst?

Iris:
 She thought that you might
 somehow discover the truth.

Iris:
 That's why she was always
 ready to deal with you at
 a moment's notice...

Phoenix:
 (You mean she was ready
 to kill me, don't you...?)

Iris:
 She already had so much to
 answer for, I didn't want any
 more sins on her soul.

Iris:
 I begged her not to do it,
 and she agreed to give
 me a chance.

Phoenix:
 And that's why...
 you came to me?

Phoenix:
 You came to get the bottle
 pendant back from me in
 her place?

Iris:
 But I couldn't get you
 to give it back...

Iris:
 I failed at something even
 as simple as that.

Iris:
 Six months passed and I still
 couldn't get it back from you.

Iris:
 Finally, my sister couldn't
 wait any longer.

Iris:
 She didn't consult me about
 her plans for you that day.

Iris:
 ...It was the first time that
 had ever happened.

Phoenix:
 That was a bit strange,
 wasn't it?

Phoenix:
 Up until that day, you two
 were partners in crime, and
 she would confer with you...

Iris:
 I think... she must have
 noticed.

Phoenix:
 ...?
 Noticed what?

Iris:
 My feelings for you.

Iris:
 If I had found out she
 was planning to kill you...

Iris:
 ...I would have done
 whatever was necessary
 to stop her.

Iris:
 Even if it meant her
 life... or mine.

Phoenix:
 I-Iris...!

Iris:
 After spending half a year
 by your side...

Iris:
 ...my feelings towards you...
 They changed.

Phoenix:
 ......
 I have something to say
 to you, too.

Iris:
 Y-Yes?

Phoenix:
 You really are the person
 I always thought you were.

Phoenix:
 Even after Dahlia Hawthorne
 was found guilty...

Phoenix:
 I still believed in you.

Iris:
 ......

Iris:
 Thank you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Armando:
 How many cups of darkness
 have I drank over the years?
 Even I don't know...

Armando:
 I'll tell you though...

Armando:
 Right now, this one here is
 the greatest cup I think I've
 ever had.

Armando:
 Don't you think so...
 Phoenix Wright?

Phoenix:
 Yeah...
 I think you're right.

Judge:
 The purpose of this trial was
 to rule on the murder of the
 victim, Elise Deauxnim.

Judge:
 At some point, I expect you
 will be tried for your role as
 an accomplice in this case.

Iris:
 ...I understand, Your Honor.

Judge:
 Very well! On the charge of
 murder, I hereby find the
 defendant...

* N O T   G U I L T Y *

Judge:
 Court is now adjourned!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 10, 4:51 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

Phoenix:
 (So I guess it's all over...)

Phoenix:
 (The way everything ended...
 Was justice really served...?)

Phoenix:
 (The man who risked his life
 to save Maya is being sent to
 prison by my own hand...)

Mia:
 Of course justice was served.

Phoenix:
 M-Mia!

Mia:
 ...I'm proud of you, Phoenix.

Mia:
 Your defense was...
 truly brilliant.

Phoenix:
 B-But I couldn't save
 Mr. Armando!

Phoenix:
 The man who cared so
 deeply for you...

Mia:
 You're wrong, Phoenix.

Mia:
 You did save Diego.

Mia:
 You saved him in the only
 way possible.

Phoenix:
 You mean... with that
 verdict...?

Mia:
 ...

Mia:
 I think one day, you'll
 understand, too.

Mia:
 Phoenix, I want you to
 remember one thing...

Mia:
 You were as good out there
 today as any defense lawyer
 could ever hope to be.

Mia:
 There's nothing more you can
 learn from me.

Phoenix:
 M-Mia...!

Mia:
 You've accomplished something
 I wasn't able to.

Mia:
 I owe you a great deal.
 ...Thank you.

Phoenix:
 Mia...

Mia:
 I'm sure we'll meet again...
 someday... Phoenix.

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (I've handled lots of cases
 and seen a lot of things...)

Phoenix:
 (And along this journey, I've
 found myself asking just one
 question...)

Phoenix:
 (What does it really mean
 to defend someone?)

Phoenix:
 (...I suppose today's case
 produced one possible answer.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maya:
 ...Nick...

Phoenix:
 M-Maya...

Maya:
 I guess it's just like my
 sis said...

Phoenix:
 Your sister...? Mia...?

Maya:
 That night, when I channeled
 Mia to get her advice on what
 to do...

Maya:
 This is what she wrote back
 in my notebook.

Maya:
 "Don't worry. Phoenix will
 save everyone in the end."

Phoenix:
 B-But...

Maya:
 Come on! Cut it out
 with that gloomy face!

Maya:
 Can't you see?
 Me, sis, and I'm sure
 Iris, too...

Maya:
 We owe you for everything
 you have done for us, Nick!

Phoenix:
 (Maya...)

Phoenix:
 (How? How can you be so
 bright and chipper after all
 that's happened...?)

Phoenix:
 (You were brutally attacked...
 You even saw your mother
 murdered...)

Phoenix:
 Yeeeowch!

Phoenix:
 F-Franziska!

von Karma:
 Still a softy as always,
 Phoenix Wright...

Edgeworth:
 Excellent work, Wright.

Maya:
 Huh!? Mr. Edgeworth!?
 When did you get back?

Phoenix:
 (Oh, that's right... I guess
 no one filled her in on that.)

Phoenix:
 Edgeworth and Franziska have
 actually been helping me.

Maya:
 Helping you...!?

Phoenix:
 If these two hadn't been here
 on the first day of the
 trial...

Phoenix:
 ...the defense wouldn't have
 gotten anywhere.

Maya:
 Wow...
 But where were you, Nick?

von Karma:
 I heard he fell into a river
 and caught a nasty cold which
 forced him to sleep all day.

Edgeworth:
 Yes, he laid in bed shivering
 from his fever with Iris's
 hood pulled over his head.

Maya:
 Oh, ouch! Talk about
 embarrassing, Nick. You
 definitely need more training!

Maya:
 Anyway, thank you,
 Mr. Edgeworth! And you
 too... um... Franziska!

? ? ?:
 I don't suppose...

Butz:
 ...there's room for me in
 this group hug, is there?

Maya:
 Oh! Larry!

Phoenix:
 What's with the, uh...
 longer than usual face?

Butz:
 I realized something when I
 was reborn...

Butz:
 ...I realized that Larry was
 never of any use to anyone.
 Not even once.

Maya:
 Th-That's not true!
 Right, Nick!?

Phoenix:
 What? You're asking me!?

Butz:
 Well, Nick!? Is it true!?
 I've got a place in this
 world, right!?

Phoenix:
 Huh? Oh, um...
 Y-Yeah, of course.

Phoenix:
 ............

Butz:
 I knew it.
 Everyone would be better
 off if I were gone for good.

Phoenix:
 No, no, no!
 Umm, I... Oh yeah!

Phoenix:
 Those portraits you painted!
 They were... really good.

Phoenix:
 Isn't that right, Edgeworth!?

Edgeworth:
 What!? M-Me?

Butz:
 Why are you making that face!?
 Huh, Edgey!?

Edgeworth:
 Oh, well, um, yes, indeed...
 I certainly can't say that
 it's lacking resemblance.

Butz:
 Do you really mean it!?
 What about you, Franzy?
 Did I draw you well, too!?

Butz:
 Waaah!

von Karma:
 My beauty can't possibly be
 captured by a mere crayon!

Maya:
 ...*glare*

von Karma:
 ...

von Karma:
 Nevertheless, I recognize the
 effort you put into it and
 that's worth something.

Butz:
 So then you'll do it!?
 Like you promised!?

Butz:
 You're going to model for
 my next picture book,
 "Franzy's Whip Lash Splash"?

Butz:
 Aaaaaah!

von Karma:
 Don't get carried away!

--------------------------------------------

Butz:
 Well, how about that!
 I guess painting portraits is
 the only thing I'm good at.

Butz:
 The painting of Pearl was
 pretty darn good too, if you
 ask me!

Butz:
 Huh...?

Edgeworth:
 Now that you mention it...
 I haven't seen her around.

Phoenix:
 Pearls...
 (Where could she have gone?)

Phoenix:
 (Normally she would have
 made a beeline for Maya...)

Maya:
 Oh...
 I'll go look for her!
 Be right back!

 Hey Pearly...!

--------------------------------------------

Edgeworth:
 ...Wright.

Edgeworth:
 You seem to be
 uncharacteristically puzzled.

Edgeworth:
 I suspect you are wondering
 how Maya can be so cheerful
 despite all that has happened?

Phoenix:
 Y-Yeah...

von Karma:
 To be honest...
 I can't understand it either.

Phoenix:
 (Franziska...)

Phoenix:
 (That's right... She lost her
 father fairly recently as
 well...)

Edgeworth:
 I think I understand how she
 feels.

Edgeworth:
 Maya is a much wiser person
 than she appears, and I think
 she realizes something...

Edgeworth:
 Now is exactly the time when
 she needs to be as strong as
 she can.

von Karma:
 Wh-What do you mean by,
 "Now is exactly the time"...?

Edgeworth:
 Maya wasn't the only one
 that was badly wounded
 by this incident.

Edgeworth:
 In fact, there was someone
 that was hurt far more deeply
 than she.

Edgeworth:
 I believe it's for that person
 that Maya is trying her best
 not to cry.

Phoenix:
 (Someone who was hurt
 more deeply than Maya...)

Phoenix:
 Edgeworth...
 I think I'm starting to
 understand, too.

Phoenix:
 Owwwww!

von Karma:
 Then tell me, Phoenix Wright!

von Karma:
 Who is Maya Fey being
 strong for...?

*** Present Pearl Fey profile **************
*
* Phoenix:
*   *TAKE THAT!*

* von Karma:
*   Pearl Fey...
*
* Phoenix:
*   The poor kid. After all, the
*   reason that she worked so hard
*   to follow the instructions...
*
* Phoenix:
*   ...was because she loved
*   and believed in her mother,
*   Morgan.
*
* Phoenix:
*   "It's for the good of the Fey
*   clan"... I'm sure she believed
*   in every last word.
*
* Phoenix:
*   She thought she was doing
*   it for Maya... That's why she
*   was so happy.
*
* Phoenix:
*   It shows how truly devoted
*   she is to Maya.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   But it's a cruel irony that it
*   was her exuberance that led
*   to this tragedy.
*
* Edgeworth:
*   Maya Fey's mother was killed
*   and Maya herself was put into
*   the deepest peril imaginable.
*
* Phoenix:
*   (And that's exactly why Maya

Gumshoe:
 Oh, hey! So this is where
 you all were!

Gumshoe:
 Wow, looks like we've got
 quite the bunch here toda--

Gumshoe:
 YEOWCH!

Gumshoe:
 Wh-What was that for, sir!?

von Karma:
 Sorry about that, Scruffy.

von Karma:
 ...My whip just seems to have
 a mind of its own.

Phoenix:
 What's up, Detective Gumshoe?

Gumshoe:
 Oh, you know. This and that.
 Anyway, congrats on your win!

Gumshoe:
 Let's go out tonight, pal!
 Dinner's on me!

Gumshoe:
 My salary's just sorta kinda
 gone down by a teeny-weeny
 bit, but it's alright!

Gumshoe:
 I made reservations at a
 first class French restaurant
 tonight!

Gumshoe:
 AAAAAAH!

von Karma:
 Pretty good work, Scruffy.
 That whip was your reward.

Phoenix:
 Umm... Detective Gumshoe.

Phoenix:
 You said a first class
 French restaurant...
 You don't mean...?

Gumshoe:
 Trés Bien, where else!?

Phoenix:
 (I knew it...
 We're doomed.)

Gumshoe:
 Come on! Let's go, everyone!
 Can't keep Maggey waiting,
 pal!

Gumshoe:
 Hey! You! Crybaby!
 You're invited, too!

Butz:
 Oh... Forget about me.

Butz:
 Pearl and I will be at the
 losers' shack eating potatoes.

Phoenix:

 an awfully long time to get
 back...)

Phoenix:
 Oh... Maya...
 What's wrong?

Maya:
 Nick...
 What do I do...?

Maya:
 Pearly...
 I can't find her anywhere!

Phoenix:
 Huh...?

Gumshoe:
 I'll bet she just went back
 home. Th-That's all!

Maya:
 I thought so too, so I called
 the village...

Maya:
 But no one has heard from her!
 This has never happened
 before!

Edgeworth:
 As I figured... She has been
 badly hurt by this incident.

Edgeworth:
 She feels responsible
 for the tragedy that has
 befallen you, Maya.

Maya:
 B-But...
 None of this was her fault!

Maya:
 What... What should I do...?

Phoenix:
 ......

Phoenix:
 Detective Gumshoe.

Gumshoe:
 Yeah, what is it, pal?

Phoenix:
 Could you guys go on ahead?

Gumshoe:
 But... But what about you!?

Phoenix:
 Maya and I will...

Phoenix:
 We'll join you guys once we
 find Pearls.

Maya:
 Nick...!

Phoenix:
 Don't worry about us,
 Detective Gumshoe.

Phoenix:
 We may be a little late...
 But we'll definitely be there.

Phoenix:
 We have a lot of celebrating

Gumshoe:
 Y-Yeah, but you're the...

Gumshoe:
 AAAAAAAAAAAH!

 Very well, Phoenix Wright.
 We'll go on ahead.

Edgeworth:
 Don't keep us waiting, Wright.

Phoenix:
 We won't...

Maya:
 B-But where should we look!?
 Where could Pearly have
 gone...?

Phoenix:
 Let's go, Maya.

Phoenix:
 There's only one place
 I can think of that Pearls
 might have gone to...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

February 10
Hazakura Temple
Main Gate

Maya:
 Hazakura Temple...

Phoenix:
 For Pearls, I bet this
 is a very important place.

Phoenix:
 After all, it's where this
 whole incident started.

Bikini:
 What's this?
 You're all back again so soon?

Maya:
 Sister Bikini?

Bikini:
 I thought we'd be eating
 mashed potatoes alone
 tonight.

Maya:
 S-So she's here?
 Pearly is here...?

Bikini:
 She's in the Training Hall.
 Why don't you hurry along
 and go see her?

Maya:
 O-OK!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maya:
 Pearly's not here...

Phoenix:
 Ah...!

Phoenix:
 Maya!
 The hanging scroll!

Maya:
 Ah!

Maya:
 Someone cleaned it off...

Phoenix:
 (It's got to be Pearls...)

Pearl:
 Aaaaaaaaaah!

Pearl:
 Mystic Maya!

Maya:
 P-Pearly...!

Maya:
 Why...

Maya:
 Why did you just leave
 like that?

Pearl:
 Mystic Maya...
 Mystic Mayaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

--------------------------------------------

Pearl:
 I swore... I swore that I
 would never trouble the two
 of you ever again.

Pearl:
 Because...
 It's all my fault that...
 Mystic Maya's mother...!

Phoenix:
 That's why you came here?

Pearl:
 It's the least I could do...
 To pray for your happiness!

Maya:
 You don't have to do
 that, Pearly.

Maya:
 It wasn't your fault.
 You didn't do anything wrong.

Maya:
 Of course I'm sad that my
 mother is gone...

Maya:
 But... how do I say this?
 I... I'm still happy.

Pearl:
 Y-You don't have to lie
 just to make me feel better!

Maya:
 No, really...
 It's true...

Maya:
 The only reason I'm still here
 at all is thanks to everyone
 who was there for me.

Pearl:
 ...!

Maya:
 My sis, my mother,
 Mr. Armando, Nick...

Maya:
 And... you.

Maya:
 If even one of you weren't
 there, I'm sure I wouldn't
 still be alive right now.

Maya:
 That's why...
 I have to be strong.

Maya:
 For all the people that
 were there for me when
 I needed them.

Maya:
 That's all I can really do.

Pearl:
 M-Mystic Maya...

Bikini:
 I'm impressed...
 You truly are the
 daughter of Mystic Misty.

Maya:
 Sister Bikini...!

Bikini:
 Your mother, Mystic Misty,
 was a strong woman indeed.

Bikini:
 I want to tell you what she
 said to me that night.

--------------------------------------------

Misty:
 After dishonoring the good
 name of Kurain, I don't have
 the right to face my daughter.

Misty:
 But still... Maya is always
 in my thoughts.

Misty:
 It's true...
 She'll always be with me,
 until the day I die...

--------------------------------------------

Bikini:
 Your spirit was with her...
 That's why your mother
 was so strong.

Bikini:
 Even at the end...
 I'm sure she had no regrets.

Maya:
 ......

Phoenix:
 "She'll always be with me,
 until the day I die", huh...

Maya:
 ...?

Phoenix:
 There's a rule or something
 all Masters are to follow,
 isn't there?

Phoenix:
 To never take the charm off
 until the day you die...

Pearl:
 Th-That's the Master's
 Talisman...

Phoenix:
 The thing that Misty kept by
 her heart and would never
 take off...

Phoenix:
 It wasn't the container that
 was important. Rather, it
 was the contents.

Bikini:
 Th-That's...!

Pearl:
 A photo?

Maya:
 Ah...!

Maya:
 M...

Maya:
 ...Mother...

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 (It's only natural for living
 creatures to fight to protect
 their own lives.)

Phoenix:
 (But what makes us human
 is that we fight for others.)

Phoenix:
 (But who do you fight
 for? How hard must you
 fight...?)

Phoenix:
 (That's the true measure
 of what human life is worth.)

Phoenix:
 (We defense attorneys are
 warriors who are constantly
 challenged by that question.)

Phoenix:
 (Even when the battle is over,
 and the bonds that connect
 us are severed...)

Phoenix:
 (We always return...
 Time and time again.)

Phoenix:
 (Mia, Maya, Pearls,
 Mr. Armando...)

Phoenix:
 (...and Maya's mother, too...)

Phoenix:
 (I learned that... from
 all of them.)

--------------------------------------------

Phoenix:
 Well... Shall we get going?
 Everyone is waiting.

Pearl:
 Ah...!

Phoenix:
 This is a day to remember.
 A day when a lot of things
 were finally put to rest.

Phoenix:
 I think we should celebrate
 what we've overcome today.

Pearl:
 B-But...
 I-I still can't...

Bikini:
 ...Oh, go on, sweetie.

Bikini:
 You can come back for
 training anytime.

Pearl:
 Um... OK!

Maya:
 Alright! I'm going to make
 a brand new start, too!

Maya:
 Sister Bikini! I'll be back
 for more training! I promise!

Bikini:
 I know, and I won't go easy on
 you just because you're the
 future Master.

Bikini:
 I'll make sure to prepare
 reservations for three for
 when you come back!

Bikini:
 Wa ha ha ho ho ho
 hee hee hee!

Maya:
 Alright!
 We're going to have a
 great feast today, Pearly.

Maya:
 You know why? Because training
 is a battle of endurance!

Pearl:
 OK, Mystic Maya!
 I... I'll eat lots and lots of
 food tonight!

Phoenix:
 ...Um, you know. There's one
 thing I don't get... and
 probably don't want to, but...

Maya:
 What is it, Nick?

Phoenix:
 Reservations for training
 is fine and all...

Phoenix:
 But why for three?

Maya:
 Come on! What do you think?

Maya:
 You're one of us, Nick!
 Next time you can train
 right alongside us!

Phoenix:
 Huh?

Bikini:
 I'll be waiting for you.

Bikini:
 Sister Bikini will take
 special care of you!

Phoenix:
 Huh? Huh?

Maya:
 It'll be great, Nick!

Maya:
 We're going to do the Special
 Course, naturally!

Phoenix:
 Huh? Huh? Huh?

Pearl:
 That's a great idea!
 After all, Mr. Nick...

Pearl:
 ...you'd do anything for
 Mystic Maya, wouldn't you?
 Even walk on hot coals, right?

Maya:
 We'll have a nice, big meal
 before we come next time!
 Right, Nick!?

Phoenix:
 ......

Phoenix:
 ...You know...

Phoenix:
 I was wondering if I can
 say just one little thing...

Maya:
 Sure! Of course you can!

Pearl:
 Oh, I love this part!
 I can't wait to hear it...!

Bikini:
 I'm getting goosebumps, too!

Phoenix:
 Well then...
 Here goes nothing...

Phoenix:
 *OBJECTION!*

x
x Mia:
x   ...
x   Actually...
x   I don't either.

x
x Mia:
x   Actually...
x   I don't quite get it either.

x   Well, make sure you do

x   You're the one who's
x   supposed to know!
x
x Mia:
x   Oops, sorry.
x   This is all still kind of

x
x Judge:
x   Well, I've got something new

x   It could be...
x
x Mia:
x   It has to be, right!?
x   I knew it!
x
x Judge:
x   However, your evidence doesn't

x
x Mia:
x   Um...
x
