|INTRODUCTION & FORMATTING RULES|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, well this is a script FAQ for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney for the
Nintendo DS, which you should already know. Let me start by saying that this
took a really long time to type. A REEEEEEEEALLY long time. I guess I just
really like this game. Actually, I don't guess. I can safely say I really like
this game.

The formatting of my script FAQ is an issue that must be addressed prior to
the viewing of it. Firstly, the text is in the format shown below.

-Name Tag
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3

I cut off the lines exactly where the game cut them off, for authenticity.

A full line of hyphens can indicate a few things.
  1. A change of scene
  2. A point where the screen fades to black
  3. In the investigation chapters, separating the part where characters talk
     amongst each other from the parts where you choose what to do (Examine,
     present, talk)

A three-sided box of stars (*) around text can serve four different purposes.
  1. At points in the game where several options are given, there will be one
     box for each option. At the end of the box it will indicate whether you
     CONTINUE or RETURN TO QUESTION.
  2. When you are asked to present something (not cross-examination), a box
     will show what will happen if you present something wrong. Below that
     box will be what happens if you present something correctly, not boxed.
  3. When you are asked to point out a spot on a photo, map, etc. the same
     thing will happen as in point 2. There will be a separate box for what
     happens if you show the wrong spot.
  4. Perhaps the most common use, during the investigation chapters, will be
     to separate text that appears from certain actions. For example, if you
     examine a signpost, the text that appears from the examination to the
     return to the menu will be inside a box labelled "Examine signpost."

New in Case 4 Chapter 3 is a mini row of hyphens. It didn't occur before this
point, but I will likely use it in the future. It'll show up when the screen
fades, but the characters don't actually go anywhere. (i.e., a flashback.) I'm
not going to go back into previous chapters and change what I've already done
there, but just know that for the chapters ahead.

The cross-examination scene (between two hyphen lines) contains several unique
features. There will be numbers above all the sections of text. Below each
section, tabbed in a few spaces, is what occurs when you press on that point.
At the end of the cross-examination, before the hyphens, there are a few lines
that are not tabbed in, which is what is said after you cycle through all of
the testimony. What is after that scene will be what happens immediately after
the cross-examination music stops. That is usually after an objection, but in
some cases it is not. In those non-objection cases, the requirements for
ending the cross-examination and continuing are at the appropriate point in
the scene.

In cases where a part of a testimony is changed, that part will be numbered #b
(Example: 8b). In the example, 8a will indicate when to change to 8b, and 8b
then follows the rules of a normal piece of testimony, with the press text
below it.

At any point in the game, in the case that a block of text is changed after
you perform a certain task, or go through another block of text, it will be
indicated rather clearly, however there is no fixed format. There is a good
chance that I missed text branches due to the way the game sometimes does
this, so any help would be appreciated.

Lastly, and least importantly because you probably could figure it out, if a
line is missing a name tag, that means there wasn't one. So without further
ado, continue reading to Case 1.

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

*gasp*...gasp*...

Dammit! ...Why me?

I can't get caught...
Not like this!

I-I've gotta find someone
to pin this on...

Someone like... him!

I'll make it look like
HE did it!

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

August 3, 9:47 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
(Boy am I nervous!)

-Mia
Wright!

-Phoenix
Oh, h-hiya, Chief.

-Mia
Whew,
I'm glad I made it on time.

-Mia
Well, I have to say Phoenix,
I'm impressed!

-Mia
Not everyone takes on a
murder trial right off
the bat like this.

-Mia
It says a lot about
you... and your client as well.

-Phoenix
Um... thanks.

-Phoenix
Actually, it's because
I owe him a favor.

-Mia
A favor?

-Mia
You mean, you knew the
defendant before this case?

-Phoenix
Yes.

-Phoenix
Actually, I kind of owe
my current job to him.

-Phoenix
He's one of the reasons
I became an attorney.

-Mia
Well, that's news to me!

-Phoenix
I want to help him out
any way I can!

-Phoenix
I just... really want to help
him, I owe him that much.

-???
(It's over!)

-???
(My life, everything,
it's all over!)

-Mia
..

-Mia
Isn't that your client
screaming over there?

-Phoenix
Yeah... that's him.

-???
(Death! Despair! Ohhhh!)

-???
(I'm gonna do it,
I'm gonna die!!!)

-Mia
It sounds like
he wants to die...

-Phoenix
Um, yeah. *sigh*

-Butz
Nick!!!

-Phoenix
Hey.
Hey there, Larry.

-Butz
Dude, I'm so guilty!!
Tell them I'm guilty!!!

-Butz
Gimme the death sentence!
I ain't afraid to die!

-Phoenix
What!?
What's wrong, Larry?

-Butz
Oh, it's all over...
I... I'm finished. Finished!

-Butz
I can't live in a world
without her! I can't!

-Butz
Who... who took her away
from me, Nick? Who did this!?

-Butz
Aww, Nick, ya gotta tell me!
Who took my baby away!?

-Phoenix
(Hmm... The person responsible
for your girlfriend's death?)

-Phoenix
(The newspapers say
it was you...)

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

-Phoenix
My name is Phoenix Wright.

-Phoenix
Here's the story:

-Phoenix
My first case is
a fairly simple one.

-Phoenix
A young woman was killed
in her apartment.

-Phoenix
The guy they arrested was
the unlucky sap dating her:

-Phoenix
Larry Butz... my best
friend since grade school.

-Phoenix
Our school had a saying:
"When something smells,
it's usually the Butz."

-Phoenix
In the 23 years I've known
him, it's usually been true.

-Phoenix
He has a knack for getting
himself in trouble.

-Phoenix
One thing I can say though:
It's usually not his fault.
He just has terrible luck.

-Phoenix
But I know better than anyone,
that he's a good guy at heart.

-Phoenix
That and I owe him one.
Which is why I took the
case... to clear his name.

-Phoenix
And that's just what I'm
going to do!

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

August 3, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 2

-Judge
The court is now in session for
the trial of Mr. Larry Butz.

-Payne
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The, um, defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Judge
Ahem.

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Judge
This is your first trial,
is it not?

-Phoenix
Y-Yes, Your Honor.
I'm, um, a little nervous.

-Judge
Your conduct during this
trial will decide the fate
of your client.

-Judge
Murder is a serious charge.
For your client's sake, I hope
you can control your nerves.

-Phoenix
Thank... thank you, Your Honor.

-Judge
..

-Judge
Mr. Wright, given the
circumstances...

-Judge
I think we should have a test
to ascertain your readiness.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(Gulp... Hands shaking...
Eyesight... fading...)

-Judge
This test will consist of a
few simple questions. Answer
them clearly and concisely.

-Judge
Please state the name of
the defendant in this case.

-Phoenix
(Whew, I know this one! Glad

(It's... wait... Uh-oh!)

(No... no way! I forgot!
I'm drawing a total blank
here!)

-Mia
Phoenix! Are you absolutely
SURE you're up to this?

-Mia
You don't even know the
victim's name!?

-Phoenix
Oh, the victim! O-Of course
I know the victim's name!

I, um, just forgot.

I think I feel a migraine
coming on.

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

***Hit with a blunt object******************
*
* -Phoenix
* She was struck once,
* by a blunt object.
*
* -Judge
* Correct.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Judge
You've answered all my
questions. I see no reason
why we shouldn't proceed.

-Judge
You seem much more relaxed,
Mr. Wright. Good for you.

-Phoenix
Thank you, Your Honor.
(Because I don't FEEL
relaxed, that's for sure.)

-Judge
Well, then...

-Judge
First, a question for the
prosecution. Mr. Payne?

-Payne
Yes, Your Honor?

-Judge
As Mr. Wright just told us,
the victim was struck with
a blunt object.

-Judge
Would you explain to the court
just what that "object" was?

-Payne
The murder weapon was this
statue of "The Thinker."

-Payne
It was found lying on the
floor, next to the victim.

-Judge
I see... the court accepts
it into evidence.

Statue added to
the Court Record.

-Mia
Wright...

-Mia
Be sure to pay attention to
any evidence added during
the trial.

-Mia
That evidence is the only
ammunition you have in court.

-Mia
Touch the Court Record
button to check the Court
Record frequently.

-Judge
Mr. Payne, the prosecution
may call its first witness.

-Payne
The prosecution calls the
defendant, Mr. Butz, to the
stand.

-Phoenix
Um, Chief, what do I do now?

-Mia
Pay attention. You don't want
to miss any information that
might help your client's case.

-Mia
You'll get your chance to
respond to the prosecution
later, so be ready!

-Mia
Let's just hope he doesn't
say anything... unfortunate.

-Phoenix
(Uh oh, Larry gets excited
easily... this could be bad.)

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

-Payne
Ahem.

-Payne
Mr. Butz. Is it not true that
the victim had recently
dumped you?

-Butz
Hey, watch it buddy!

-Butz
We were great together!
We were Romeo and Juliet,
Cleopatra and Mark Anthony!

-Phoenix
(Um... didn't they all die?)

-Butz
I wasn't dumped! She just
wasn't taking my phone calls.
Or seeing me... Ever.

-Butz
WHAT'S IT TO YOU, ANYWAY!?

-Payne
Mr. Butz, what you describe
is generally what we mean
by "dumped."

-Payne
In fact, she had completely
abandoned you... and was
seeing other men!

-Payne
She had just returned from
overseas with one of them
the day before the murder!

-Butz
Whaddya mean, "one of them"!?

-Butz
Lies! All of it, lies!
I don't believe a word of it!

-Payne
Your Honor, the
victim's passport.

-Payne
According to this, she was
in Paris until the day before
she died.

Passport added to
the Court Record.

-Judge
Hmm... Indeed, she appears
to have returned the day
before the murder.

-Butz
Dude... no way...

-Payne
The victim was a model, but
did not have a large income.

-Payne
It appears that she had
several "Sugar Daddies."

-Butz
Daddies?
Sugar?

-Payne
Yes. Older men, who gave
her money and gifts.

-Payne
She took their money and used
it to support her lifestyle.

-Butz
Duuude!

-Payne
We can clearly see what kind
of woman this Ms. Stone was.

-Payne
Tell me, Mr. Butz, what do
you think of her now?

-Mia
Wright...

-Mia
I don't think you want
him to answer that question.

-Phoenix
(Yeah... Larry has a way of
running his mouth in all
the wrong directions.)

-Phoenix
(Should I...?)

***Wait and see what happens****************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Might be better not to
* get involved in this one...
*
* -Payne
* Well, Mr. Butz?
*
* -Butz
* Dude, no way!
* That cheatin' she-dog!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Stop him from answering******************
*
* -Phoenix
* My client had no idea the
* victim was seeing other men!
*
* -Phoenix
* That question is
* irrelevant to this case!
*
* -Payne
* Oof! *wince*
*
* -Butz
* Dude! Nick!
* Whaddya mean, "irrelevant"!?
*
* -Butz
* That cheatin' she-dog!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Butz
I'm gonna die.
I'm just gonna drop dead!

-Butz
Yeah, and when I meet her in
the afterlife...

-Butz
I'm going to get to the bottom
of this!

-Judge
Let's continue with the trial,
shall we?

-Payne
I believe the accused's
motive is clear to everyone.

-Judge
Yes, quite.

-Phoenix
(Oh boy. This is so not
looking good.)

-Payne
Next question!

-Payne
You went to the victim's
apartment on the day of
the murder, did you not?

-Butz
Gulp!

-Payne
Well, did you, or did you not?

-Butz
Heh? Heh heh. Well, maybe
I did, and maybe I didn't!

-Phoenix
(Uh oh. He went.)

-Phoenix
(What do I do?)

***Have him answer honestly*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I know! I'll send him
* a signal...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (TELL THE TRUTH)
*
* -Butz
* Er... Yeah! Yeah!
* I was there! I went!
*
* -Judge
* Order!
*
* -Judge
* Well, Mr. Butz?
*
* -Butz
* Dude, chill!
*
* -Butz
* She wasn't home, man...
* So, like, I didn't see her.
*
* -Payne
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Payne
* Your Honor, the defendant
* is lying.
*
* -Judge
* Lying?

* -Payne
* The prosecution would like
* to call a witness who can
* prove Mr. Butz is lying.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Stop him from answering******************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'll send him a signal...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (LIE LIKE A DOG)
*
* -Butz
* Um, well, see, it's like this:
* I don't remember.
*
* -Payne
* You "don't remember"?
*
* -Payne
* Well then, we'll just
* have to remind you!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I got a bad feeling
* about this...)
*
* -Payne
* We have a witness that can
* prove he DID go to the
* victim's apartment that day!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Judge
Well, that simplifies matters.
Who is your witness?

-Payne
The man who found
the victim's body.

-Payne
Just before making the
gruesome discovery...

-Payne
He saw the defendant fleeing
the scene of the crime!

-Judge
Order! Order in the court!

-Judge
Mr. Payne, the prosecution
may call its witness.

-Payne
Yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(This is bad...)

-Payne
On the day of the murder, my
witness was selling newspapers
at the victim's building.

-Payne
Please bring Mr. Frank Sahwit
to the stand!

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

-Payne
Mr. Sahwit, you sell newspaper
subscriptions, is this correct?

-Sahwit
Oh, oh yes!
Newspapers, yes!

-Judge
Mr. Sahwit, you may
proceed with your testimony.

-Judge
Please tell the court what
you saw on the day of the
murder.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Sahwit
I was going door-to-door,
selling subscriptions when I saw
a man fleeing an apartment.

(2)
-Sahwit
I thought he must be in a
hurry because he left the
door half-open behind him.

(3)
-Sahwit
Thinking it strange, I looked
inside the apartment.

(4)
-Sahwit
Then I saw her lying there...
A woman... not moving... dead!

(5)
-Sahwit
I quailed in fright and found
myself unable to go inside.

(6)
-Sahwit
I thought to call the police
immediately!

(7)
-Sahwit
However, the phone in her
apartment wasn't working.

(8)
-Sahwit
I went to a nearby park and
found a public phone.

(9)
-Sahwit
I remember the time exactly:
It was 1:00 PM.

(10)
-Sahwit
The man who ran was, without
a doubt, the defendant sitting
right over there.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Phoenix
(Larry! Why didn't you
tell the truth?)

-Phoenix
(I can't defend you against
a testimony like that!)

-Judge
Incidentally, why wasn't
the phone in the victim's
apartment working?

-Payne
Your Honor, at the time of
the murder, there was a
blackout in the building.

-Judge
Aren't phones supposed to
work during a blackout?

-Payne
Yes, Your Honor...

-Payne
However, some cordless phones
do not function normally.

-Payne
The phone that Mr. Sahwit
used was one of those.

-Payne
Your Honor...

-Payne
I have a record of the
blackout, for your perusal.

Blackout Record added
to the Court Record.

-Judge
Now, Mr. Wright...

-Phoenix
Yes!
Er... yes, Your Honor?

-Judge
You may begin your
cross-examination.

-Phoenix
C-Cross-examination,
Your Honor?

-Mia
Alright, Wright, this is it.
The real deal!

-Phoenix
Uh... what exactly am I
supposed to do?

-Mia
Why, you expose the lies in
the testimony the witness
just gave!

-Phoenix
Lies! What?! He was lying!?

-Mia
Your client is innocent,
right?

-Mia
Then that witness must have
lied in his testimony!

-Mia
Or is your client really...
guilty?

-Phoenix
!!! How do I prove he's not?

-Mia
You hold the key!
It's in the evidence!

-Mia
Compare the witness's
testimony to the
evidence at hand.

-Mia
There's bound to be a
contradiction in there!

-Mia
First find contradictions
between the Court Record
and the witness's testimony.

-Mia
Then, once you've found the
contradicting evidence...

-Mia
present it and rub
it in the witness's face!

-Phoenix
Um... okay.

-Mia
Touch the Court Record button
and point out contradictions
in the testimony!

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Sahwit
I was going door-to-door,
selling subscriptions when I saw
a man fleeing an apartment.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Isn't a man leaving an
  apartment a common sight?

  -Phoenix
  I find it odd you would
  take notice of him...

  -Sahwit
  Er... heh.

  -Sahwit
  I don't know. He just seemed
  strange to me, that's all.

  -Sahwit
  Like he was mad, and yet
  frightened at the same time.

  -Sahwit
  Just like... a criminal fleeing
  the scene of a crime!

  -Phoenix
  The defense requests that
  the witness refrain from
  conjecture!

  -Payne
  Of course. What the witness
  means is that the man he saw
  looked suspicious.

  -Payne
  So, what happened next?

(2)
-Sahwit
I thought he must be in a
hurry because he left the
door half-open behind him.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Half-open... you say?

  -Sahwit
  Yes, yes, the door was
  open halfway. Yes.

  -Sahwit
  I watched for a moment, but
  no one came to close the door.

  -Sahwit
  "That's odd, in a big city
  like this," I thought...

  -Payne
  I see.
  And what happened next?

(3)
-Sahwit
Thinking it strange, I looked
inside the apartment.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What gave you the
  idea to do that?

  -Sahwit
  Well, the door was half-open,
  you see.

  -Sahwit
  Isn't it only human
  to want to... peek?

  -Sahwit
  We climb mountains because
  they are there!
  It's the same thing.

  -Payne
  Truer words have never
  been spoken!
  Anyone would look inside!

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... why did Payne cut
  him off so quickly?)

  -Payne
  So you looked into the
  apartment.
  What happened then?

(4)
-Sahwit
Then I saw her lying there...
A woman... not moving... dead!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure she was dead?

  -Sahwit
  W-Well, no, I guess I wasn't.

  -Sahwit
  But, she wasn't moving at
  all, and there was blood
  everywhere.

  -Phoenix
  (I guess that would look
  fatal to anyone...)

  -Phoenix
  Very well, what happened next?

(5)
-Sahwit
I quailed in fright and found
myself unable to go inside.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, you didn't touch
  ANYTHING in the apartment?

  -Sahwit
  Um, yes. I mean no! Nothing.

  -Phoenix
  Okay.
  What happened next?

(6)
-Sahwit
I thought to call the police
immediately!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You "thought" to call the
  police? Does that mean you
  didn't actually call them!?

  -Payne
  Please, please... Listen to
  the rest of the testimony.

  -Payne
  You thought to call the
  police... What happened next?

(7)
-Sahwit
However, the phone in her
apartment wasn't working.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The phone in her apartment
  wasn't working?

  -Sahwit
  Yes. I mean, no,
  no it wasn't. Right.

  -Phoenix
  But you said you didn't
  go into the apartment...
  or did you!?

  -Sahwit
  Oh, oh, that? I can explain
  that!

  -Sahwit
  There was a cordless phone
  on a shelf in the entranceway.

  -Sahwit
  I reached inside and tried
  using that to call...

  -Payne
  And the phone wasn't
  working, correct?

  -Payne
  What happened next?

(8)
-Sahwit
I went to a nearby park and
found a public phone.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why use a public phone?

  -Sahwit
  Well, you see, I don't
  have a cell phone.

  -Sahwit
  And, being the middle of the
  afternoon, there was no answer
  at the nearby apartments.

  -Phoenix
  Ah, right... what time
  did you call again?

(9)
-Sahwit
I remember the time exactly:
It was 1:00 PM.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  1:00 PM!
  Are you certain?

  -Sahwit
  Yes.
  Absolutely.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... He seems really
  confident.)

  -Mia
  1:00 PM?

  -Mia
  Wright. Doesn't that
  seem strange to you?

  -Mia
  Present some evidence
  to contradict him!

(10)
-Sahwit
The man who ran was, without
a doubt, the defendant sitting
right over there.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you absolutely,
  100% positive?

  -Sahwit
  Yes, it was him.
  No mistake about it.

  -Payne
  The witness says he's certain!

-Mia
That's all of it.

-Mia
There must be a contradiction
in there somewhere.

-Mia
Examine the Court Record button
if something strikes you as
being suspicious.

-Mia
Then, find the evidence that
contradicts his testimony,
and present it to him!

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
You found the body at 1:00 PM.
You're sure?

-Sahwit
Yes.
It was 1:00 PM, for certain.

-Phoenix
Frankly, I find that
hard to believe!

-Phoenix
Your statement directly
contradicts the autopsy report.

-Phoenix
The autopsy notes the time
of death at sometime after
4PM.

-Phoenix
There was nobody to... er...
no "body" to find at 1:00 PM!

-Phoenix
How do you explain this
three-hour gap?

-Sahwit
!!!

-Sahwit
Oh, that! Oh, er...

-Payne
*OBJECTION!*

-Payne
This is trivial! The witness
merely forgot the time!

-Judge
After his testimony, I find
that hard to believe.

-Judge
Mr. Sahwit...

-Judge
Why were you so certain
that you found the body
at 1:00 PM?

-Sahwit
I.. er... well, I...
Gee, that's a really good
question!

-Mia
Great job, Wright!
Way to put him on the spot!

-Mia
That's all you have to do:
point out contradictions!

-Mia
Lies always beget more lies!

-Mia
See through one, and their
whole story falls apart!

-Sahwit
Wait!
I remember now!

-Judge
Would you care to give
your testimony again?

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Time of Discovery --

(1)
-Sahwit
You see, when I found the
body, I heard the time.

(2)
-Sahwit
There was a voice saying the
time... It was probably
coming from the television.

(3)
-Sahwit
Oh, but it was three hours
off, wasn't it?

(4)
-Sahwit
I guess the victim must
have been watching a video
of a taped program!

(5)
-Sahwit
That's why I thought
it was 1:00 PM!

(6)
-Sahwit
Terribly sorry about
the misunderstanding...

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

-Judge
Hmm... I see.
You heard a voice saying
the time on a taped program.

-Judge
Mr. Wright, you may cross-
examine the witness.

-Mia
Wright!

-Mia
You know what to do!

-Phoenix
I've got this one.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Time of Discovery --

(1)
-Sahwit
You see, when I found the
body, I heard the time.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You said "heard"...
  Not "saw"?

  -Sahwit
  Yes, heard.

  -Sahwit
  All I saw was the body
  lying there...

  -Sahwit
  I didn't think to look at
  anything else, least of all
  my watch.

  -Phoenix
  Hmm...
  Isn't that a little strange?

  -Phoenix
  So you're saying you
  "heard" something.

  -Phoenix
  But if you were so shocked by
  the body, you wouldn't hear
  anything at all!

  -Payne
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Payne
  The witness did say he
  actually heard the time.

  -Payne
  It's ludicrous to suggest
  he "wouldn't hear anything"!

  -Judge
  Hmm...
  I have to agree with
  the prosecution.

  -Judge
  Witness, continue
  your testimony.

(2)
-Sahwit
There was a voice saying the
time... It was probably
coming from the television.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure it was a
  television and not... a radio?

  -Sahwit
  Well, no, I guess it
  might have been a radio.

  -Payne
  Incidentally, there was
  no radio on the premises.

  -Payne
  There was only one
  large television.

  -Mia
  Wright!

  -Mia
  I can't put my finger on it,
  but something about this seems
  fishy.

  -Mia
  Something about "hearing"
  the television...

  -Payne
  The witness has testified.
  He heard the time.

(3)
-Sahwit
Oh, but it was three hours
off, wasn't it?

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How do you explain the gap!

  -Judge
  Well, witness?
  Can you explain this?

(4)
-Sahwit
I guess the victim must
have been watching a video
of a taped program!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  A.. video?

  -Sahwit
  Yes, that would explain
  why the time was wrong!

  -Phoenix
  True, true...

  -Mia
  Wright!

  -Mia
  I think the problem lies
  someplace else...

  -Judge
  We're agreed that you heard
  the time at the scene, then.

(5)
-Sahwit
That's why I thought
it was 1:00 PM!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure the voice you
  heard said it was 1:00 PM?

  -Sahwit
  Yes, I can practically hear
  it now. It was quite clear.

  -Judge
  Mr. Payne, has the prosecution
  verified this testimony?

  -Payne
  My apologies, Your Honor.

  -Payne
  I, too, have only just learned
  that the witness "heard"
  the time.

  -Sahwit
  Oh, I'm really sorry. I only
  remembered it just now.

(6)
-Sahwit
Terribly sorry about
the misunderstanding...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Well, you just watch it!

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... Not much point
  pressing him on that one,
  was there?)

-Mia
Notice anything suspicious?

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Hold it right there!

-Phoenix
The prosecution has said there
was a blackout at the time of
the discovery!

-Phoenix
And this record proves it!

-Sahwit
..!

-Phoenix
You couldn't have heard
a television... or a video!

-Sahwit
Gah!!!

-Sahwit
I... well... urk!

-Judge
The defense has a point.

-Judge
Do you have an explanation
for this, Mr. Sahwit?

-Sahwit
No, I... I find it quite
puzzling myself! Quite!

-Sahwit
..

-Sahwit
Aah!

-Sahwit
W-wait!
I remember now!

-Judge
Mr. Sahwit?

-Judge
The court would prefer to hear
an accurate testimony from the
very beginning.

-Judge
These constant corrections
are harming your credibility.

-Judge
That, and you seem
rather... distraught.

-Sahwit
..!

-Sahwit
M-my apologies, Your Honor!

-Sahwit
It... er, it must have
been the shock of finding
the body!

-Judge
Very well, Mr. Sahwit.

-Judge
Let's hear your testimony
once more please.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Hearing the Time --

(1)
-Sahwit
Actually, I didn't "hear"
the time... I "saw" it!

(2)
-Sahwit
There was a table clock in
the apartment, wasn't there!

(3)
-Sahwit
Yeah, the murder weapon!
The killer used it to
hit the victim!

(4)
-Sahwit
That must have
been what I saw.

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

-Judge
You saw a clock?
I guess that would explain it.

-Judge
The defense may cross-
examine the witness.

-Phoenix
Gladly.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Hearing the Time --

(1)
-Sahwit
Actually, I didn't "hear"
the time... I "saw" it!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  That strikes me as a very
  suspicious mistake.

  -Sahwit
  Yes, I can see how you'd
  be a little doubtful...

  -Sahwit
  I'm really sorry. I only
  just remembered that
  table clock!

  -Judge
  A "table clock"?

(2)
-Sahwit
There was a table clock in
the apartment, wasn't there!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  A "table clock"?
  Was there a clock
  at the scene?

  -Judge
  This is the first
  I've heard of it!

(3)
-Sahwit
Yeah, the murder weapon!
The killer used it to
hit the victim!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The... murder weapon?

  -Sahwit
  Yes, the table clock that
  was used as a weapon!

  -Sahwit
  That's what I just said. Did
  you doze off in the middle
  of my testimony or something?

  -Phoenix
  (Something's fishy here...)

(4)
-Sahwit
That must have
been what I saw.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why didn't you tell us
  that in the first place?

  -Sahwit
  I guess it just
  slipped my mind!

  -Sahwit
  I'm not really sure how it
  happened myself...

  -Payne
  The witness says he saw the
  table clock. End of story.

-Mia
Now, find the contradiction!

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Wait just a moment!

-Phoenix
The murder weapon wasn't
a clock.
It was this statue!

-Phoenix
Now how is this supposed
to be a clock?

-Sahwit
Whaa!?

-Sahwit
Y-you with your "objections,"
and your "evidence"... Just
who do you think you are!?

-Phoenix
Just answer the question,
Mr. Sahwit.

-Sahwit
Hey, I... I saw it there, okay!
That's a clock!

-Payne
Your Honor!
If I may...

-Judge
Yes, Mr. Payne?

-Payne
As the witness stated, this
statue is indeed a clock.

-Payne
The neck is a switch. You just
tilt it, and it says the time
out loud.

-Payne
As it doesn't look like a
clock, I submitted it as a
statue. My apologies.

-Judge
I see.

-Judge
So the murder weapon was a
table clock after all.

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?

-Judge
It appears that the witness's
testimony was correct.
This is a clock.

-Judge
Do you have any problems
with his testimony now?

***No***************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess not.
*
* -Phoenix
* There was a clock on the
* scene, so, no problem.
*
* -Mia
* Wright! Are you out
* of your mind!?
*
* -Mia
* That clock doesn't look
* like a clock at all!
*
* -Mia
* The witness couldn't have
* possibly known it was a clock
* just by seeing it!
*
* -Mia
* He said himself, he never
* entered the apartment!
*
* -Mia
* It was in his testimony!
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey!
* You're right!
*
* -Judge
* Is something the matter?
* Does the defense have anything
* to add?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes...
* Yes I do!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Yes**************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Your Honor, there is
* a gaping hole in the
* witness's testimony!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
The only way he could have
known the weapon was a clock
is to hold it in his hand.

-Phoenix
Yet the witness testified
that he never entered the
apartment!

-Phoenix
Clearly, a contradiction!

-Judge
Hmm... indeed!

-Phoenix
The witness knew it was
a clock, because he...

***Knew the victim**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me, isn't it true that
* you knew the victim?
*
* -Phoenix
* In fact, you were one of her
* "sugar daddies"! Be frank
* with us, Mr. Sahwit!
*
* -Sahwit
* Hmph.
*
* -Sahwit
* "Frank"? I'm always "Frank"!
*
* -Payne
* Your Honor.
*
* -Payne
* We have complete records of
* the victim's relationships.
*
* -Payne
* Mr. Frank Sahwit does
* not appear anywhere.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
* Oh, really?
*
* -Judge
* Please, Mr. Wright...
* Is "Huh" the best response
* you can muster up?
*
* -Judge
* Try to refrain from making
* off-the-cuff accusations
* in the future.
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor.
* Let me think this over.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

***Went into the apartment******************
*
* -Phoenix
* You're lying!
*
* -Phoenix
* You were inside the apartment
* on the day of the murder!
*
* -Sahwit
* Oh yeah? Prove it!
* Prove I went in there!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'll do better than that!
* I can prove you were the one
* who killed her!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
You struck her with the clock,
and the shock of the blow
triggered the clock's voice!

-Phoenix
That was the sound you heard!

-Judge
Order in the court!

-Judge
Intriguing.
Please continue, Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
Mr. Sahwit.

-Phoenix
The sound must have left
quite an impression on you.

-Phoenix
Understandable, since the
murder weapon spoke just as
you hit the victim!

-Phoenix
That voice was burned
into your mind.

-Phoenix
That's why you were so
certain about the time!

-Payne
*OBJECTION!*

-Payne
W-w-what's the meaning
of this?

-Payne
This is all baseless
conjecture!

-Phoenix
Baseless...?

-Phoenix
Just look at the
witness's face!

-Sahwit
Ngh... grrrah!

-Judge
Would the witness
care to elaborate?

-Judge
Did you strike the
victim with the clock?

-Sahwit
I... I...!
That... that day...
I... I never!

-Sahwit
Look... I... the clock...
I heard, no!
I mean, I saw...Saw... nggg!

-Sahwit
Gwaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

-Sahwit
Shutupshutupshutup!
I hate you!

-Sahwit
I-it was him, I tell you!
I saw him!

-Sahwit
H-he killed her and he
should burn! Burn!
Give him death!

-Judge
Order!
Order in the court I say!

-Payne
Your Honor,
a-a moment please!

-Payne
There isn't a shred of
evidence supporting the
defense's claims!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!

-Phoenix
Your Honor?

-Judge
You claim the sound the
witness heard came from
the clock...

-Judge
Do you have any evidence?

-Phoenix
(The whole case is riding
on this! I'd better think
it through carefully!)

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The sound Mr. Sahwit heard
was definitely this clock.

-Phoenix
A fact which is clear
if you simply...

***Examine the clock's batteries************
*
* -Phoenix
* All you have to do
* is examine the batteries!
*
* -Judge
* Indeed? The batteries are...
* in the right way. The clock
* seems to be working fine.
*
* -Judge
* What exactly did
* you mean, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes, the clock was
* working fine!
*
* -Payne
* Yes, and...?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm, I'm sorry, I think
* I got confused back there
* with all those testimonies.
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* I expect more from a lawyer
* in this court. Even if it
* is your first day.
*
* -Judge
* I'm afraid I have to
* penalize you! Try to think
* things through more carefully.
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor.
* As I was saying...
*
* BACK TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

***Ask the neighbors************************
*
* -Phoenix
* All you have to do is talk
* to the victim's neighbors!
*
* -Judge
* Talk to the neighbors...?
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm sure one of them heard
* the clock tell the time when
* the incident occurred!
*
* -Judge
* I see...
*
* -Judge
* Does the prosecution have
* anything to say, Mr. Payne?
*
* -Payne
* We have already made all
* the necessary inquiries.
*
* -Payne
* Everyone living near the
* victim's apartment was out
* at the time of the murder.
*
* -Payne
* Furthermore, even if a
* neighbor had heard the clock,
*
* -Payne
* that would not prove that
* Mr. Sahwit had heard anything.
*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
* That is true.
*
* -Judge
* I believe you may be wrong,
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* You'll receive a penalty
* for that, unfortunately.

***Try sounding the clock*******************

* -Phoenix
* Let's sound the clock
* now, here in this court.
*
* -Phoenix
* Your Honor, may I
* have the clock?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
I ask the court to
listen very carefully...

-Alarm clock
..*beep*...

-Alarm clock
[I think it's 8:25.]

-Judge
That certainly is a strange
way to announce the time.

-Phoenix
Well, he is "The Thinker,"
after all.

-Judge
So, we've heard the clock.
What are your conclusions,
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Mr. Payne... can you tell me
what time it is now?

-Payne
It's 11:25...

-Payne
Ack!

-Phoenix
As you can see, this clock
is exactly three hours slow!

-Phoenix
Precisely the discrepancy
between what Mr. Sahwit heard
and the actual time of death!

-Phoenix
So, Mr. Sahwit...

-Phoenix
Try to talk your
way out of this one!

-Sahwit
..

-Sahwit
..Hah! Hah hah!

-Sahwit
You forgot one thing!

-Phoenix
(Uh oh... what's he
talking about...?)

-Sahwit
While it may seem like
that clock IS running three
hours slow...

-Sahwit
It proves nothing!

-Sahwit
How do you know it was
running three days slow
on the day of the murder!?

-Sahwit
If you can't prove that,
you don't have a case!

-Phoenix
..!

-Phoenix
(He's right! How am I
going to prove that!?)

-Phoenix
(Dammit! I was so close!)

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Judge
It seems you lack the
critical evidence to
support your claim.

-Phoenix
..!

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
This means I cannot let
you indict the witness.

-Judge
Unfortunately...

-Judge
This ends the cross-examination
of Mr. Frank Sahwit.

-Sahwit
I come all the way down here
to testify, and look
what happens!

-Sahwit
They treat me like a
criminal! A criminal!

-Sahwit
You lawyers are all slime!

-Phoenix
(Grr! I almost had him!)

-Phoenix
(Sorry, Larry... I failed you.)

-Phoenix
(There's nothing I can
do about it now...)

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

-Mia
Not so fast, Mr. Sahwit!

-Phoenix
Mia! I mean, Chief!

-Mia
Listen up, Wright!

-Mia
Don't throw this one away,
not like this! Think!

-Phoenix
But, Chief, it's over.

-Phoenix
I can't prove the clock was
slow the day of the murder!

-Phoenix
Nobody can prove that!

-Mia
Um... well, yes.

-Mia
But that doesn't mean you
can't still win! Try thinking
out of the box!

-Mia
Don't waste time doubting the
facts. Assume the clock was
three hours slow and...

-Mia
Think through it!

-Mia
Ask yourself, "Why was
the clock three hours slow"?

-Mia
Figure out the reason,
and you'll have your proof!

-Mia
Right, Wright?

-Mia
Can you think of a reason as
to why the clock would be
three hours slow?

***No***************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* H-how am I supposed
* to know that!?
*
* -Mia
* I know you can
* figure it out!
*
* -Mia
* There must be some evidence
* in the Court Record...
*
* -Mia
* Something that can show
* why that clock was three
* hours slow!

* -Mia
* Find it, and he won't have a

* -Judge
* Well, Mr. Wright?

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

-Judge
You say the clock was already
running slow on the day of
the murder...

-Judge
Have you found evidence
to support this claim?

-Phoenix
Of course.

-Phoenix
There is a piece of evidence
in the Court Record that can
prove my claim beyond a doubt!

-Sahwit
Hah! Tough words! Let's see
you pull this one off!

-Judge
Let's see this evidence that
proves why the clock was
running slow!

***Present something wrong******************

* One more chance...
* Give me just one more chance!
*
* -Judge
* Alright, Mr. Wright, but

*
* -Judge
* Be quick about it.
*
* BACK TO COURT RECORD

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
The victim had just returned
home from abroad the day
before the murder.

-Phoenix
As we all know, the time
difference between here and
Paris is nine hours!

-Phoenix
When it's 4:00 PM here,
it's 1:00 AM the next day
there.

-Phoenix
The clock wasn't three hours
slow, it was nine hours fast!

-Phoenix
The victim hadn't reset her
clock since returning home!

-Phoenix
That's why the time you heard
when you struck her dead in
her apartment was wrong!

-Phoenix
Proof enough for you,
Mr. Sahwit? Or should
I say... Mr. Did It!

-Sahwit
Ngh! ...!

-Judge
O-order! Order, I say!

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

-Judge
Well...

-Judge
This case has certainly
turned out differently
than we all expected.

-Judge
Mr. Payne... your client?

-Payne
He... er... he was arrested
and has been taken away,
Your Honor.

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
I have to say, I'm impressed.

-Judge
I don't think I've ever seen
someone complete a defense
so quickly...

-Judge
and find the true culprit
at the same time!

-Phoenix
Thank you, Your Honor.

-Judge
At this point, this is
only a formality, but...

-Judge
This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Larry Butz...

* N O T   G U I L T Y *

-Judge
And with that...
The court is adjourned.

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

-Phoenix
It turns out that Frank
Sahwit was a common burglar!

-Phoenix
He posed as a newspaper sales-
man to check and see when
people were out of the house!

-Phoenix
That day...

-Phoenix
When Larry went to her
apartment, the victim
wasn't home.

-Phoenix
After he left, Mr. Sahwit
let himself in to do his
dirty work!

-Phoenix
While he was searching her
place, the victim returned!

-Phoenix</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Flustered, Mr. Sahwit grabbed
the nearest blunt object he
could find...

August 3, 2:32 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
(Whew... I still can't
believe we won!)

-Mia
Wright!
Good job in there!

-Mia
Congratulations!

-Phoenix
Th-thanks, Chief.
I owe it all to you.

-Mia
Not at all, not at all!
You fought your own battles
in there.

-Mia
It's been a while since I've
seen a trial end on such a
satisfying note!

-Phoenix
(I've never seen the chief
looking this happy...)

-Phoenix
(If she's this glad, imagine
how Larry must feel!)

-Butz
My life is over...

-Phoenix
Larry! You're supposed to
be happy! What's wrong now!?

-Butz
Aww, Nick...

-Butz
Don't worry 'bout me!
I'll be dead and gone soon!

-Phoenix
Good! Wait, no! I mean...
Bad! Bad bad bad!

-Phoenix
Larry, you're innocent!
The case is closed.

-Butz
..

-Butz
But... but my Cindy-windy's
gone, man! Gone forever!

-Phoenix
(Larry, she was a...
Nah... Never mind.)

-Mia
Congratulations, Harry!

-Butz
H-Harry...?

-Mia
Yes, you! I can practically
see the headlines now:
"Harry Butz, Innocent!"

-Butz
Heh... um... thanks!
I really owe you one.

-Butz
I won't forget this, ever!
Let's celebrate! Dinner?
Movie? My treat!

-Mia
Oh, no, I couldn't.

-Phoenix
(Hey, I was the one who
got you off the hook!)

-Butz
Oh, hey!

-Butz
H-here, take this!
It's a present!

-Mia
A present? For me?

-Mia
Wait...
Wasn't this the evidence
that...

-Butz
Actually, I made this
clock for her!

-Butz
I made one for her
and one for me.

-Mia
R-really? You? You made this?

-Mia
..

-Mia
Well, thank you.
I'll keep it as a memento.

-Butz
Yo, Nick...

-Butz
Can you believe it?
I was so into that chick...

-Butz
And... and she was just
playing me for a fool!

-Butz
Don't that make you
wanna just cry? *sob*

-Phoenix
Larry...

-Mia
..

-Mia
Are you so sure?

-Butz
Ex-squeeze me?

-Mia
I think she thought quite a
lot of you, in her own way.

-Butz
Nah, you don't gotta
sympathize with me, 'sokay.

-Mia
Oh, I'm not just
sympathizing, really.

-Mia
Isn't that right, Wright?
Don't you have something
to show your friend?

-Mia
Something that proves how
she felt about him?

-Phoenix
H-huh?
Oh, yeah, right!

-Phoenix
(What the heck is
she talking about?)

***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* Here you go, Larry.
* Proof.
*
* -Butz
* ...
*
* -Butz
* Eh... heh heh?
* It's okay, Nick.
* Don't worry about me.
*
* -Butz
* I'll forget about
* her soon enough.
*
* -Butz
* Look, I'm gonna head
* home. Thanks a ton, eh?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Guess that wasn't the
* right thing to show him...)
*
* SKIP TO NEXT SCENE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Check this out, Larry.
Proof Positive you weren't
just some chump to her.

-Butz
Huh...?
Where'd you get that clock?

-Phoenix
This is the clock you
made for her, Larry!

-Phoenix
She took it with her
when she traveled.

-Butz
Hmm, she probably just
needed a clock, that's all.

-Phoenix
You think so? It's a pretty
heavy clock to take traveling.

-Butz
..

-Phoenix
Well, make of it
what you will.

-Butz
..

-Butz
Hey, Nick.

-Butz
I'm glad I asked you
to be my lawyer.

-Butz
Really, I am.
Thanks.

-Phoenix
(Hope that made him feel
a little better...)

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

-Mia
Wright?

-Mia
I hope you see the importance
of evidence now.

-Mia
Also, hopefully you realize,
things change depending on
how you look at them.

-Mia
People, too.

-Mia
We never really know if
our clients are guilty
or innocent.

-Mia
All we can do is
believe in them.

-Mia
And in order to believe in
them, you have to believe
in yourself.

-Mia
Wright...

-Mia
Listen. Learn. Grow strong.

-Mia
Never let go of what
you believe in. Never.

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

-Mia
Well, I think our work here
is done! Shall we be off?

-Phoenix
Yeah, I guess so!

-Mia
Say, how about dinner.
On me?

-Mia
We'll drink a toast
to innocent Butz!

-Phoenix
Yeah!

-Mia
Oh, speaking of Harry...

-Mia
You were saying part of why
you became a lawyer was
because of him.

-Phoenix
Er, yeah. Part, at least.

-Mia
You'll have to tell me
more about it sometime!
Maybe... over drinks?

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

-Phoenix
And so, my first
trial came to a close.

-Phoenix
Larry slapped me on the back
and said, "Gee, Nick, it's good
to have friends!"

-Phoenix
But I'm pretty sure he's not
going to pay me. Unless you
count the clock he gave Mia.

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
I didn't know it then...

-Phoenix
but that clock was soon
going to be at the center
of another incident.

-Phoenix
And my promise to tell the
chief about me and Larry...

-Phoenix
would be one promise that
I wouldn't be able to keep.

-???
Hello? This is Maya.

-Mia
Hey Maya, it's me.

-???
Mia!
What's up? You haven't
called in a while.

-Mia
Sorry, I've been so busy.
How you been?

-???
Well, LONELY.
And it's all YOUR fault.

-???
Nah, I'm just teasing.

-???
I've been great! I'm finally
getting used to having my
own place.

-Mia
That's good to hear.

-Mia
Actually, I'm calling because
I have a favor to ask.

-???
I know, I know. You want me
to hold evidence for you?

-Mia
Sharp as always!

-Mia
There's a lot of buzz about
the upcoming trial...

-Mia
I just don't feel safe
keeping the evidence here.

-???
I gotcha.
So, what is it this time?

-Mia
It's... a clock.

-???
A clock?

-Mia
Yeah, it's made to look like
that statue, "The Thinker."
And it tells you the time!

-Mia
I thought you might like it.
You always liked toys.

-???
Hey! I'm not a little
girl anymore, Sis!

-Mia
Now, now. You know
I'm only teasing.

-Mia
Ah, I should probably tell
you, the clock isn't talking
right now.

-???
Huh? It's not working?
That's lame!

-Mia
I had to take the
clockwork out. Sorry.

-Mia
I put some papers
inside it instead.

-???
Papers? Is that
the evidence, then?

-???
Hmm, well... there's a
possibility that it might
turn out that way, yes.

-Mia
Can you come by the office
tonight, say 9:00, to pick
it up?

-Mia
I'll be in a pretrial
meeting until then.

-???
Okay, Sis, but I expect
dinner! Something good!

-???
Like... burgers! I could
really go for a good burger.

-Mia
Okay, okay.
We'll hit the usual joint.

-???
Alright! It's a deal!

-???
Okay, Sis, see you soon!

-Mia
Yep.
I'll be waiting, Maya.

Fey & Co. Law Offices

-???
Now, Miss Fey, I'll take
what's mine... the papers.

-Mia
I'm sorry, but I can't
give you what I don't have.

-???
Miss Fey,
you are a poor liar.

-???
Why, I see it right
over there...

-???
That must be "The Thinker"
that swallowed those papers.

-Mia
How could you know...?

-???
Ho hoh. You are not
cogniferous of my
background?

-???
Gathering information is
my business, you see.

-Mia
I... I should have been more
careful.

-???
Ho hoh.

-???
My dear Miss Fey...
I am so very sorry.

-???
But I am afraid I must ask
you for one more thing.

-???
Your eternal silence...
Farewell, Miss Fey.

Fey & Co. Law Offices

-Phoenix
Uh oh, I'm late.

-Phoenix
Huh, that's strange.
The chief must have
gone home already.

-Phoenix
She said her sister was
coming over so we should
all go out for dinner...

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
What's that smell...?

-Phoenix
Blood...?

-Phoenix
Mia!
(Maybe she's in her office!)

***Examine Anything*************************

Sis...

-Phoenix
Chief? Chief...?

-Phoenix
Chief!!!

-Phoenix
Who are you?

-???

-Phoenix
(The strange girl dropped out
cold. I left her lying on
the office sofa.)

-Phoenix
(I went back to the chief
where she lay under the
window.)

-Phoenix
(Her body was still warm...)

-Phoenix
(I could feel it when
held her shoulder.)

-Phoenix
(Then, all too quickly,
it began to fade...)

-Phoenix
(Until finally she was cold.)

-Phoenix
Chief...

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

***Examine window***************************

*
* -Phoenix
* Chief...
*
* -Phoenix
* It's hard seeing her like
* this, but if there are any
* clues here...
*
* -Phoenix
* She was struck on the head
* with a blunt object.
*
* -Phoenix
* She probably died instantly.
*
* -Phoenix
* "The Thinker" lying next

* the murder weapon.
*
* The Thinker added

*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm... there are some glass

*
* -Phoenix
* Must be pieces of the glass

*
* Glass Shards added

*
* -Phoenix
* Nothing else that seems

*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm...?
*
* -Phoenix
* A piece of paper! It must

*
* -Phoenix
* What could it be?
*
********************************************

***Examine Mia again************************
*
* -Phoenix
* It's painful to look... but
* I have to, for Mia's sake.

*
* -Phoenix
* This piece of paper is a
* receipt from a department
* store, dated yesterday.
*
* Receipt added to

*
* -Phoenix

***Examine desk*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A perfectly normal office
* desk.
*
* -Phoenix
* The chief had a very

* "Spend big on stuff the
* clients use, but keep your
* own stuff simple."
*
********************************************

***Examine computer*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Surprisingly, the chief
* was never good with machines.
*
* -Phoenix
* About all she used this

* W-why would
* Sis write my name?

Freeze! Police!

-Gumshoe
Alright, I'm Detective
Dick Gumshoe, see?

-Phoenix
(Gumshoe...?
What an odd name.)

-Gumshoe
We received a report from the
building across the way, see.

-Gumshoe
Got a person saying
they saw a murder.

-Phoenix
(It must have been
that woman I saw.)

-Gumshoe
Anyway, I don't want either
of you moving one inch, 'kay?

-Phoenix
(Great. Just great.)

-Phoenix
(Maya... Wait, she
wouldn't have... nah.)

This word "Maya" here
mean anything to you?

Um... that...

-Maya
That's my name...

-Gumshoe
WHAAAAT!?

-Gumshoe
The victim drew this here
note in her own blood, see?

-Gumshoe
With her dying breath, she
wrote down the killer's name!

-Maya
K-killer...? I'm not--

-Gumshoe
Case closed! You're coming
down to the precinct, ma'am.

-Maya
W-what?

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

-Phoenix
Mia's younger sister, Maya,
was arrested on the spot.

-Phoenix
I was taken in for questioning
and didn't get out until the
next morning.

-Phoenix
My eyes were heavy...
but I couldn't sleep.

-Phoenix
I sat around, waiting for
visiting hours to begin at
the detention center.

-Phoenix
I had to talk to Maya
as soon as possible.

Oh!

-Maya
It's you! The lawyer...

-Maya
G-good morning.

-Phoenix
Good morning!

-Phoenix
(She looks so tired...)

-Maya
Um...

-Maya
Are you going to
be my attorney?

-Phoenix
Well, that's what I wanted
to talk to you about...

***It's up to you***************************
*
-Phoenix
* (I'd better give it
* to her straight...)
*
* -Phoenix
* It's up to you.
*
* -Maya
* Up... to me?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes. I don't think this is
* something I should decide.
*
* -Phoenix
* After all, you're the one
* in trouble here.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* They're never going to
* believe me... are they?
*
* -Maya
* Even you, when you found me
* in the office. You looked at
* me like I had done it!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Of course I will*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (First things first, I better
* get her cheered up...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, of course I will!
* Cheer up!
*
* -Maya
* R-really...?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Whoa! Did I say the wrong
* thing? She looks sadder now!)
*
* -Phoenix
* Um... what... what's wrong?
* You don't think I can do it?
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* No... no one could!
*
* -Maya
* Who would believe me?
*
* -Maya
* Even you, when you found me
* in the office. You looked at
* me like I had done it!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Sorry, not a chance**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maybe if I joke a bit
* she'll cheer up...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Hah hah!
* No way, Jose!
*
* -Phoenix
* Just kidding...
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Eh heh. Whoops.
* That didn't go so well.)
*
* -Maya
* ...Heh...
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Phoenix
* M-Maya...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Was that a... chuckle?
*
* -Maya
* What?
*
* -Maya
* N-no!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* It wasn't very
* believable, was it?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Not really...)
*
* -Maya
* I-I'm sorry!
*
* -Maya
* I just thought, since
* you'd made a joke...
*
* -Maya
* Please, don't mind me!
* You're doing just fine!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Who's trying to
* cheer up who here!?)
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I knew it.
*
* -Maya
* No one will believe me.
*
* -Phoenix
* What?
*
* -Maya
* Even you--when you found me
* in the office. You looked at
* me like I had done it!
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
(Did I look at her
like that?)

-Phoenix
No, no! I never thought...

-Maya
I-it's okay.
I understand.

-Maya
..

-Maya
And.. I've also heard
about you.

-Phoenix
Heard...? Heard what
about me?

-Maya
I... was talking to my sister
on the phone the other day...

-Mia
"Today was my junior partner's
first time in court."

-Maya
Wow! Really?
How'd that go?

-Mia
"It was quite the scene!"

-Mia
"Honestly, I was on edge
the whole time. It's
been a while..."

-Maya
Hah! So, he crashed and
burned?

-Mia
"...He's a genius."

-Mia
"One of those 'strike fear
into the hearts of evil'
types..."

-Mia
"The only thing he's lacking
is... experience."

-Maya
Huh, sounds like it was fun!

-Maya
Well, I know who to go to if
I ever get into trouble now!

-Mia
"I don't know, Maya."

-Mia
"I think you might want
to wait... give him three
more years."

-Mia
"That is, unless you want
to be found guilty."

-Maya
That's what she said!

-Phoenix
..

-Maya
I-I'm sorry!

-Maya
I didn't mean to
trouble you...

-Phoenix
No, it's okay.
It's true, I guess.

-Phoenix
But... at the same time,
I can't just sit and watch!

-Phoenix
When I think of the person
who did this to Mia...

-Maya
..

-Maya
I know...

* A real pro, this guy.

***Present The Thinker**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* I wanted to ask you

* Poor Sis... *sniff*
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm. Better not ask

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

***Present Glass Shards*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* This was lying next

*
* -Maya
* I saw that too.
*
* -Maya
* They said they thought
* these were pieces of a

*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, that seems

* -Phoenix

* Absolutely none!

* * Don't you think

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * No, I don't.
* *
* * -Phoenix

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I'm sorry...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I don't like lying just to
* * make people feel better.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * But it doesn't mean that

***Present Maya's Memo**********************

-Phoenix
I wanted to ask you
about your cell phone...

-Maya
That detective took it
when they brought me in.

-Phoenix
(So, Gumshoe took it...)

-Phoenix
(I'll have to try to
get it back next time
I see him...)

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

***Present other****************************
*
* -Maya
* Sorry... I've never
* seen that before.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Maya"************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's something I've
* been wanting to ask you...
*
* -Maya
* Yes?
*
* -Phoenix
* What's with that outfit?
*
* -Maya
* Oh, this?
*
* -Maya
* This is what all acolytes
* wear. It's my uniform, you
* could say.
*
* -Phoenix
* A-acolytes? Like people in
* religious training? What is
* it you do?
*
* -Maya
* Oh! It's nothing
* strange, really!
*
* -Maya
* I'm a spirit medium.
* ...In training.
*
* -Phoenix
* A s-spirit medium!?
* (I'm pretty sure that
* qualifies as strange.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The day of the crime"********
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell me about
* the day of the murder?
*
* -Maya
* Yes!
*
* -Maya
* Let's see... that morning,
* I got a call from my sister.
*
* -Maya
* She wanted me to hold onto
* a piece of evidence for an
* upcoming trial.
*
* -Phoenix
* Evidence?
*
* -Maya
* Yes. That clock shaped like
* "The Thinker."
*
* -Phoenix
* (The one Larry made...)
*
* -Phoenix
* How could that have been
* evidence in a case?
*
* -Maya
* Um, right, she said
* something about that...
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I remember!
*
* -Maya
* Do you want to hear it
* in her own voice?
*
* -Phoenix
* H-her own voice!?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
*
* -Maya
* I'm pretty sure our
* conversation is on
* my cell phone.
*
* -Phoenix
* You recorded it!
*
* -Maya
* Yeah! I forgot how to
* delete those things.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Your cell phone"*************
*
* -Phoenix
* So, you say you have a
* conversation with your
* sister on your cell phone?
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's hear it!
*
* -Maya
* Right!
*
* -Maya
* Oh!
*
* -Maya
* I just remembered: that
* detective took my cell phone.
*
* -Maya
* Sorry.
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, right.
* (Of course...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Next time I see Detective
* Gumshoe I'll ask him for it.
*
* -Maya
* I'll write you a note so
* you don't forget, okay?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure, thanks.
*
* Maya's Memo added
* to the Court Record.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The day of the crime" again**
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell me about
* the day of the murder?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry... I know
* it must be hard.
*
* -Maya
* No, it's okay.
*
* -Maya
* All I've been doing the
* last few hours is talking
* about it.
*
* -Maya
* I've kind of gotten
* used to it...
*
* -Maya
* Let's see... that morning,
* I got a call from my sister.
*
* -Maya
* She wanted me to hold onto
* a piece of evidence for an
* upcoming trial.
*
* -Phoenix
* (That's "The Thinker" clock
* that Larry made.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (It practically qualifies
* as a serial murderer by now.)
*
* -Phoenix
* So then, when did you
* arrive at the office?
*
* -Maya
* It was right around 9:00.
*
* -Maya
* The lights were off and...
* I could smell blood.
*
* -Maya
* Th-then I found her.
* My sister...
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks, Maya.
*
* -Phoenix
* That's all I need
* to hear for now.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Spirit mediums"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* So you're an acolyte.
* A, er, medium-in-training.
*
* -Maya
* That's right.
*
* -Maya
* The Fey family, especially the
* women, have always been very
* sensitive to the spirit world.
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait a second, you said
* the "Fey Family"?
*
* -Phoenix
* So, Mia was into
* this stuff too?
*
* -Maya
* Of course!
*
* -Maya
* She left the mountain to
* "follow her career," she said.
*
* -Maya
* Her powers were first-
* class, too!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I... I had no idea.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm...
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait...!
*
* -Maya
* What?
*
* -Phoenix
* So, you're a real, honest-
* to-goodness spirit medium?
* With E.S.P. and all that?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
* ...In training.
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, can't you contact
* Mia's spirit, then?
*
* -Phoenix
* We can just ask
* her who killed her!
*
* -Maya
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* I-I'm sorry...
*
* -Maya
* I'm still in training.
*
* -Maya
* I couldn't do something
* on that level...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm... I thought that
* would be too easy.)
*

AFTER:
  1) Talking about everything

-Maya
..

-Maya
Um...!

-Phoenix
Huh? Something the matter?

-Maya
Um... I was wondering,
could I ask you a favor?

-Phoenix
..?

-Maya
This is the address of
a famous lawyer.

-Maya
My sister gave me
this a long time ago.

-Maya
She said if I was ever in
trouble, I should call him.

-Maya
And, well, I'm in trouble.

-Maya
Do you think you could go
ask him to represent me?

-Phoenix
(Hmm...)

***Accept***********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure, why not?
* I'll go ask.
*
* -Maya
* Thank you so much!
*
* -Maya
* I have no one

* -Phoenix
* W-what!? Tomorrow!?
*
* -Maya
* Tomorrow.
*
* -Phoenix
* What if this guy refuses!?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Refuse***********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm sorry...
*
* -Phoenix
* I think this is the kind
* of thing you should really
* do yourself.
*
* -Maya
* ...You're right.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Something wrong?
*
* -Maya
* Actually, I asked the police
* to contact him, and they
* tried calling a few times.
*
* -Maya
* Nobody could get
* a hold of him!
*
* -Phoenix
* They couldn't find him?
*
* -Maya
* I have no one left to ask!
*
* -Phoenix

*
* -Maya

* -Phoenix
* O-okay! Don't worry,
* I'll go ask him for you.
*
* -Maya
* Y-you will?
* Thank you so much!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm just worried what will
* happen if I can't find him.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Maya
They told me that if I don't
find one, the state will pick
an attorney to defend me.

-Phoenix
When will that happen?

-Maya
They're giving me until
4:00 this afternoon.

-Phoenix
(And visiting hours are almost
up... I'd better hurry!)

-Phoenix
Right, I'll be back!

Hey! You there!

This is a crime scene, pal!
No trespassing!

Umm... Sorry, don't I
know you from somewhere?

-???
Wait, you're that Butz guy,

-Phoenix
No, no, Phoenix Wright.
(How could anyone mistake
me for Larry!?)

-???
Ah, guess I got the
wrong name, Mr. Wright.
Sorry 'bout that.

-???
That Butz guy, he was
a killer! And you're
no killer! Right?

-Phoenix
(He WAS proven innocent...)

-Phoenix
Umm... right.
And you were...

* Much as it pains me to say

* -Gumshoe
* Hey, what are you looking at?

* Sorry, pal, but this is

* Wait... you do know him,
* don't you!?
*
* ***Of course I do!**************************

* * He won't stop until he gets
* * his "guilty" verdict.
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Aww, don't talk about him

* *

* * Still, I'm afraid this pretty

* * -Phoenix
* * (So, Edgeworth is on this
* * one...)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (He hasn't lost a case since
* * he became prosecutor at the

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Of course, there are rumors

* Do you think you

* -Gumshoe
* Tricky lawyer!

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Oh, no, it's just...
* * You know, Detective!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Nope.
* * I know nothing, pal!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * That cell phone has a lot of
* * numbers on it... like her

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * A cell phone holds all a
* * little girl's sweetest
* * and spiciest secrets!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Urk? Y-you're trying

* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Sorry, pal. I already checked

* * -Phoenix
* * Impressive! You're
* * quite the detective.
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Uh huh. Oh, here, you

* * -Phoenix
* * Oh, no, um...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * T-that carrying strap
* * on the cell phone...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * This? Hmm... it says "The
* * Steel Samurai: Warrior of
* * Neo Olde Tokyo"...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * "The Steel Samurai"... that

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Yeah, you see that strap is

You all done, pal?

Um, yes, thank you.
I'll be heading out now.

-Gumshoe
Oh, wait.

-Gumshoe
One more thing I wanted
to mention to you.

-Gumshoe
I don't suppose you're
planning on talking to
that witness.

-Gumshoe
Anyway, you'd better not!

-Gumshoe
No influencing the witness
with your lawyerly ways, pal!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
(Come to think of it, I had
completely forgotten about
her...)

-Phoenix
The... witness?

-Gumshoe
Yeah, Miss April May.

-Gumshoe
I'm sorry 'bout this...

-Gumshoe
But I can't tell you
anything about her!

-Phoenix
(Well, you just told me
her name, Miss May, huh?)

-Phoenix
So you've sent her
home already, then?

-Gumshoe
Ahah! You're trying your
lawyerly tricks on me now!

-Gumshoe
She's not to go outside her
room until the trial!

-Phoenix
(So... she's still in the
hotel across the way.)

-Phoenix
I guess I should no better
than to try to get a
detective to leak information.

-Gumshoe
You got that right, pal!

-Phoenix
(Time to pay a visit
to Miss May!)

* Even I can tell someone

Hey!

What is it? Did you

Sorry.

I haven't seen him yet.

I see...

***Talk about "Your family"*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* What about your family?

* My father died when

***Talk about "Your mother"*****************
*
* -Maya
* The women in my family have
* been mediums for generations.
*
* -Maya
* They say that E.S.P.
* runs in our blood.
*
* -Maya
* About fifteen years ago,
*
* -Maya
* our family was involved
* in an... incident.
*
* -Maya
* There was a man,
* and he... he...
*
* -Maya
* He ruined our mother's life.
*
* -Phoenix
* ("Ruined"...?)
*
* -Maya
* After that, she disappeared.
*
* -Maya
* Several years after that,
*
* -Maya
* my sister announced she would
* "become a lawyer" and she
* left the mountain.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* So, you live by yourself?
*
* -Maya
* Yes.
* I've gotten used to it.
*
* -Maya
* Oh, also...
*
* -Maya
* I had to become independent,
* or I would lose my E.S.P.!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I feel bad for her,
* all by herself up
* on that mountain...)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Your mother's enemy"*********
*
* -Phoenix
* So, who was this man
* who, um, "ruined" your mother?
*
* -Maya
* About 15 years ago...
* there was an unusual
* murder case.
*
* -Maya
* It made quite a stir,
* everyone was talking
* about it, apparently.
*
* -Maya
* The police were running out
* of leads, and they were
* getting desperate...
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait... they didn't use
* a spirit medium, did they?
*
* -Maya
* The police convinced my mother
* to try to contact the victim.
*
* -Phoenix
* Wow...
* So, what happened?
*
* -Maya
* The case was solved...
* we thought.
*
* -Phoenix
* You "thought"...?
*
* -Maya
* The man my mother helped
* the police capture was
* innocent.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* The police's consultation with
* a medium had all been carried
* out in secret, of course.
*
* -Maya
* But...
*
* -Maya
* A man found out about it
* and leaked it to the press.
*
* -Maya
* He told all the papers that
* my mother was a fraud, and the
* media jumped on it big time.
*
* -Maya
* She... my mother... became
* the laughing stock of the
* nation.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* White...
*
* -Phoenix
* Excuse me? White?
*
* -Maya
* That was his name.
* My sister told me.
*
* -Phoenix
* White? Hmm...

You're the lawyer, aren't you?
The detective told me...

He said, "Don't say nothing

Gee! This is all like

It's all so exciting
I can hardly contain

Ooh! Let me go freshen up

Y-yes, well... yes.

-Phoenix
(I know... I've been there.
A long time ago.)

-Phoenix
(Why did I become a lawyer
in the first place...?)

-Phoenix
(Because someone has to look
out for the people who have
no one on their side.)

-Phoenix
Maya...

-Phoenix
I won't abandon you.
You can count on me.

-Maya
..

-Maya
That's so kind of you...

-Maya
*sniff*...

-Maya
..

-Phoenix
Well!

-Phoenix
Let's fight this one
and get you out of here!

-Maya
R-right!
Thank you!

-Phoenix
(Whew, she smiled at last.
She looks like an entirely
different person!)

-Phoenix
One last question...
You are innocent, right?

-Maya
Yes!

-Maya
And I trust you...

-Maya
So you trust me,
too, okay?

-Phoenix
It's a deal.

-Phoenix
(So, what next...)

-Phoenix
(There's something that's
been bugging me...)

-Phoenix
(Just what was inside
that strange woman's
drawer?)

-Phoenix
(It was when I tried to
look into the drawer that
she got all defensive.)

-Phoenix
(There has to be
something in there!)

MOVE TO: Gatewater Hotel

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

-Bellboy
Good afternoon, sir!

-Phoenix
Excuse me, you are...?

-Bellboy
Ah, I beg your pardon, sir!

-Bellboy
I am the bellboy of
this establishment,
at your service, sir.

-Phoenix
Oh, right.

-Bellboy
I've just come up to
deliver room service, sir.

-Phoenix
Um... do you know where
Miss May might be?

-Bellboy
Ah. I believe our guest
Miss May is currently using
the, er, facilities...?

-Bellboy
If you've no need of
anything, I'll be
taking my leave.

-Bellboy
Please, stay as long as you
like. Enjoy...

-Phoenix
Yeah...

-Phoenix
Wait... no! Hey!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
(Why does it seem like every
time I come here, I end up
embarrassing myself?)

-Phoenix
(Wait... now's my chance
to snoop around a bit!)

-Bellboy
Ah, I almost forgot!

-Phoenix
Gah!
Y-you came back quick!

-Bellboy
Might I ask you to inform
Miss May that there is a
message for her?

-Bellboy
Please tell her that
Mr. White, of Bluecorp phoned.

-Phoenix
Oh, right. Sure.

-Phoenix
(Mr. White... of Bluecorp?
Where have I heard that name?)

-Maya
White...

-Maya
That was his name.
My sister told me.

-Phoenix
("White" was the name of the
guy who ruined Mia and
Maya's mother!)

-Phoenix
(Could it be a coincidence?)

***Examine open drawer**********************

* -Phoenix
* There's a screwdriver sticking

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

-Phoenix
There is definitely
something suspicious
about this "Miss May"!

-Phoenix
Why would she have something
like this in her hotel room?

-Phoenix
There's a story behind all
this, I know it!

-Phoenix
Alright...

-Phoenix
I'll be using this bit of
evidence in tomorrow's
trial, that's for sure.

-Phoenix
For Maya's sake...

-Phoenix
I'll get to this woman's
bottom! Wait... I mean
.. you know what I mean.

-April
Oh, bellboy...?
Still there?

-Phoenix
(Uh oh, time to scram!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

September 7, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1

-Judge
The court is now in session
for the trial of Ms. Maya Fey.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution is
ready, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The defense
is ready, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(Miles Edgeworth...)

-Phoenix
(I'd better not show any signs
of weakness today, or he'll
be on me in an instant.)

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth.
Please give the court
your opening statement.

-Edgeworth
Thank you, Your Honor.
The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,
was at the scene of the crime.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution has evidence
she committed this murder...

-Edgeworth
and we have a witness
who saw her do it.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution sees no
reason to doubt the facts
of this case, Your Honor.

-Judge
I see.

-Judge
Thank you, Mr. Edgeworth.
Let's begin then.

-Edgeworth
You may call your
first witness.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls the
chief officer at the scene,
Detective Gumshoe!

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

-Edgeworth
Witness, please state your
name and profession to
the court.

-Gumshoe
Sir!

-Gumshoe
My name's Dick Gumshoe, sir!

-Gumshoe
I'm the detective in
charge of homicides
down at the precinct, sir!

-Edgeworth
Detective Gumshoe.

-Edgeworth
Please, describe for us
the details of this murder.

-Gumshoe
Very well, sir!
Let me use this floor map
of the office to explain.

-Gumshoe
The body was found by
this window, here.

-Edgeworth
And the cause of death?

-Gumshoe
Loss of blood due to being
struck by a blunt object, sir!

-Gumshoe
The murder weapon was a statue
of "The Thinker" found next
to the body, sir!

-Gumshoe
It was heavy enough to
be a deadly weapon, even
in a girl's hands, sir!

-Judge
The court accepts the
statue as evidence.

-Phoenix
(They're still calling
it a "statue"...)

Floor plans added to
the Court Record.

-Edgeworth
Now, Detective...

-Gumshoe
Y-yes sir!

-Edgeworth
You immediately arrested
Ms. Maya Fey, who was found
at the scene, correct?

-Edgeworth
Can you tell me why?

-Gumshoe
Yes sir!
I had hard evidence
she did it, sir!

-Judge
Hmm.
Detective Gumshoe,

-Judge
Please testify to the court
about this "hard evidence."

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Maya Fey's Arrest --

(1)
-Gumshoe
As soon as the phone call came
in, I rushed to the scene!

(2)
-Gumshoe
There were two people
there already:

(3)
-Gumshoe
The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,
and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix
Wright.

(4)
-Gumshoe
I immediately arrested
Ms. Maya Fey!

(5)
-Gumshoe
Why? We had a witness
account describing her!

(6)
-Gumshoe
The witness saw Ms. Maya
Fey at the very moment of
the murder!

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

-Judge
Hmm...
The very moment, you say.

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright,
you may begin your
cross-examination.

-Phoenix
Y-yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(Cross-examine what...?)

-Phoenix
(I couldn't see a single
contradiction in that
testimony...)

..whoosh...

SMACK!

-Phoenix
(Hey! Maya just threw
something at me...)

-Phoenix
(What's this?)

-Phoenix
("When my sister couldn't
find any contradictions
in a witness's testimony")

-Phoenix
("she would bluff it and
press the witness on
every detail!")

-Phoenix
("The witness always slips
up and says something
wrong...")

-Phoenix
("It worked lots of times!")

-Phoenix
(Heh... I should have expected
Maya would know some of
her sister's tricks!)

-Phoenix
(Alright.
Let's give this a try!)

-Judge
Something the matter?

-Phoenix
No, Your Honor.
I'd like to begin my
cross-examination.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Maya Fey's Arrest --

(1)
-Gumshoe
As soon as the phone call came
in, I rushed to the scene!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Who did you say you
  got a call from?

  -Gumshoe
  Hey pal, don't play
  dumb! You know who!

  -Gumshoe
  The call was from a customer
  at the Gatewater Hotel, right
  across from the crime scene!

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... okay, I pressed.
  Not sure it did much, though.)

  -Phoenix
  Right.
  Please continue.

(2)
-Gumshoe
There were two people
there already:

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Detective Gumshoe, how
  long would you say it took,

  -Phoenix
  between you receiving
  the call, and your arrival
  at the scene of the crime?

  -Gumshoe
  Hmm, right... I'd say
  it was about 3 minutes!

  -Phoenix
  Th-that's pretty fast!

  -Gumshoe
  Our motto this month
  is "quick response"!

  -Gumshoe
  That's how I got there
  before the killer got away!

  -Edgeworth
  Indeed!

  -Edgeworth
  So, tell us who the two
  people you found on the
  scene were.

  -Gumshoe
  Yes sir!

(3)
-Gumshoe
The defendant, Ms. Maya Fey,
and the lawyer, Mr. Phoenix
Wright.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you absolutely
  sure it was us?

  -Gumshoe
  Listen pal, your dumb act
  will only get you so far!

  -Gumshoe
  With her funky hippie clothes
  and your spiky hair?

  -Gumshoe
  You two stand out like...
  like suspicious people
  at a crime scene!

  -Phoenix
  (Well... he does have
  a point about her.)

  -Phoenix
  (She is pretty unmistakable.)

  -Phoenix
  (I should pick my points
  to press with a little
  more care...)

(4)
-Gumshoe
I immediately arrested
Ms. Maya Fey!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why's that?
  What's your reason?

(5)
-Gumshoe
Why? We had a witness
account describing her!

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION

(6)
-Gumshoe
The witness saw Ms. Maya
Fey at the very moment of
the murder!

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION

-Phoenix
(I can't see a single
contradiction in there!)

-Phoenix
(I'll just have to take
Maya's advice and press
him on anything suspicious!)

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

-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*

-Phoenix
Hold on just one second!

-Gumshoe
Y-yeah?

-Phoenix
If I heard correctly...

-Phoenix
You said you arrested her
because you had "hard
evidence" she did it, correct?

-Gumshoe
Huh?

-Gumshoe
Did... did I say that? Me?

-Phoenix
I heard you say it!

-Judge
You did say it.

-Edgeworth
You said it.

-Phoenix
Exactly what about this
suspicious woman in pink's
claim was "hard evidence"!?

-Gumshoe
Wh-what!?

-Gumshoe
Miss May isn't suspicious,
and she sure isn't pink, pal!

-Gumshoe
W-well, I guess she
is pink...

-Judge
That's enough,
Detective Gumshoe.

-Judge
Do you have any more
solid proof other than
her claims, Detective?

-Gumshoe
Umm...

-Phoenix
(Hmm! I guess pressing
can have its advantages!)

-Gumshoe
..

-Gumshoe
Yes.

-Phoenix
(Gah!)

-Gumshoe
Sorry, I got the order
of things mixed up in my
testimony, Your Honor Sir!

-Gumshoe
There was something I
should have told you
about first, Your Honor!

-Judge
Very well, Detective. Let's
hear your testimony again.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Hard Evidence --

(1)
-Gumshoe
After securing the suspect,
I examined the scene of
the crime with my own eyes.

(2)
-Gumshoe
I found a memo written on
a piece of paper next to
the victim's body!

(3)
-Gumshoe
On it, the word "Maya"
was written clearly in blood!

(4)
-Gumshoe
Lab test results showed that
the blood was the victim's!

(5)
-Gumshoe
Also, there was blood found
on the victim's finger!

(6)
-Gumshoe
Before she died, the victim
wrote the killer's name!

-Gumshoe
How you like that?
That's my "hard evidence"!

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Before we begin cross-
examination, I have a
question for you, Detective.

-Gumshoe
Y-Your Honor?

-Judge
Why didn't you testify about
this vital piece of evidence
the first time!?

-Gumshoe
Ah... eh... I know. I'm real
embarrassed I forgot about
it, Your Honor Sir.

-Judge
Try to be more careful!

-Judge
Very well, the defense may
begin its cross-examination.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Hard Evidence --

(1)
-Gumshoe
After securing the suspect,
I examined the scene of
the crime with my own eyes.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  And did you find
  any evidence?

  -Gumshoe
  Now, now, don't jump
  the gun on me, pal.

  -Gumshoe
  Just listen. I'm getting
  to the good part!

  -Phoenix
  (I got a bad feeling
  about this...)

(2)
-Gumshoe
I found a memo written on
a piece of paper next to
the victim's body!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Just because you found it
  next to the body doesn't
  mean the victim wrote it!

  -Gumshoe
  Ho hoh!
  Then who did write
  it, smarty-pants?

  -Phoenix
  Wh-who? Um...

  ***The killer*******************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Th-the killer!
  * Anyone can see that!
  *
  * -Gumshoe
  * Hoh.
  *
  * -Gumshoe
  * You're saying the killer
  * wrote her OWN name!?
  * Buddy, please!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * She was framed!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * *OBJECTION!*
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Hold on.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * If that's the case,
  * where's your evidence?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Ah...
  * (Urk!)
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Hah! I guess that was
  * a bit of a tall order
  * for you.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Those without evidence
  * shouldn't open their
  * mouths, Mr. Wright.
  *
  * -Gumshoe
  * Yeah, pal!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Argh...!)
  *
  ********************************************

  ***Miss May*********************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Well... it could have been
  * the witness, Miss May!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * *OBJECTION!*
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Hold on.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * The witness was in her
  * hotel room, not the office.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Try pulling the other leg,
  * Mr. Wright!
  *
  * -Gumshoe
  * Yeah, and while you're at
  * it, pull mine too, pal!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Argh...!)
  *
  ********************************************

  ***I did************************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * It... it could have been me!
  *
  * -Gumshoe
  * What! S-so it was you!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * No, no, no, I'm just saying
  * it COULD have been me!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Can you prove it wasn't?
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * *OBJECTION!*
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Hold on.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * So, you admit to this?
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * You admit that you
  * wrote the note?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Uh...
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Listen to me, Mr. Wright.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * This is a court of law, and
  * I expect you to refrain from
  * making thoughtless statements!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Amateur!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (...!)
  *
  ********************************************

  -Edgeworth
  Well, Detective?
  Tell us what was written
  on that memo you found.

(3)
-Gumshoe
On it, the word "Maya"
was written clearly in blood!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Do you have proof it
  was Mia who wrote that!?

  -Gumshoe
  Of course I do, pal!

  -Phoenix
  (Uh oh... he sounded pretty
  confident. This might
  not be good...)

(4)
-Gumshoe
Lab test results showed that
the blood was the victim's!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What kind of "tests"
  were these again?

  -Gumshoe
  Huh? What kind?
  Umm... well...

  -Gumshoe
  I hear they take the, um,
  little bits in the blood,
  the... er... hemo... hemogl...

  -Gumshoe
  Hermo... goblins... hobgob...
  Er...? Herma-goblin bobbin...

  -Gumshoe
  I-I refuse to testify
  on this matter, sir!

  -Gumshoe
  I'm no expert on blood tests!

  -Judge
  Yes, that was quite clear.
  You may continue with
  your testimony.

  -Gumshoe
  Th-thanks, pal.
  I mean Your Honor Sir.

  -Edgeworth
  Detective Gumshoe.

  -Gumshoe
  Y-yeah?

  -Edgeworth
  I think you can expect
  a pleasant bonus in your
  next pay check.

  -Gumshoe
  Oh? Oh hoh hoh.

  -Phoenix
  (That was a mess...)

  -Gumshoe
  Right! Where was I?

(5)
-Gumshoe
Also, there was blood found
on the victim's finger!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  On which hand was the
  bloody finger, Detective?

  -Gumshoe
  The right hand!

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... she WAS right
  handed...)

  -Gumshoe
  Hah hah hah!
  Nice try!

  -Phoenix
  (Uh oh... I guess it wasn't
  too hard to see what I
  was getting at there.)

(6)
-Gumshoe
Before she died, the victim
wrote the killer's name!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Detective Gumshoe!

  -Phoenix
  Do you get a lot of cases
  where the victim actually
  writes the killer's name?

  -Gumshoe
  Sure! It happens all the
  time in books and the movies!

  -Phoenix
  This isn't a movie, Detective.

  -Gumshoe
  Oof!

  -Phoenix
  Let's talk about
  reality, shall we?

  -Gumshoe
  Umm... I guess, I haven't
  heard of many cases... no.

  -Phoenix
  Don't you find it a little
  odd that the victim would
  write down a name?

  -Phoenix
  Especially the name
  of her own sister?

  -Gumshoe
  Ah, yeah, actually,
  you got a point, pal.

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Stop right there.

  -Edgeworth
  The witness's opinion
  on the matter is irrelevant!

  -Edgeworth
  The facts are clear: the
  victim wrote down the
  name of the accused...

  -Edgeworth
  The victim told us
  the name of her killer!

  -Judge
  Order! Order!

  -Phoenix
  (That didn't go so well...)

  -Gumshoe
  Th-that's right!
  What he said!

-Phoenix
(That's his whole
testimony...)

-Phoenix
(Okay, there has to be
a contradiction in there
somewhere. Let's find it!)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Detective Gumshoe!

-Phoenix
There's one thing I
want you to clarify
for me here.

-Phoenix
You say that the victim,
Mia Fey, wrote this note.

-Phoenix
That she was accusing
the defendant, Maya Fey?

-Phoenix
That's really what
you're saying?

-Gumshoe
Wh-what? This isn't one
of those lawyer tricks,
now, is it?

-Gumshoe
Of course she wrote it!
Who else could have!?

-Phoenix
You have it backwards,
Detective.

-Gumshoe
B-backwards?

-Phoenix
The victim is the only
person who absolutely
could NOT have written t!

-Phoenix
This is a report from
your department, Detective.

-Phoenix
"Immediate death due to a blow
from a blunt object."

-Phoenix
She died immediately!

-Gumshoe
But...!

-Phoenix
No "but"-ing your way
out of this one, Detective!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
The defense has a point.

-Judge
Someone who died immediately
wouldn't have the time to
write anything down.

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright.

-Edgeworth
I beg your pardon, but when
exactly did you obtain that
autopsy report?

-Phoenix
Wh-when...!?

***The day of the murder********************
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I'm pretty sure it
* was the day of the murder.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You're wrong there, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* We didn't write an autopsy
* report 'til the day after!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh. Right.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***The day after the murder*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* It was the day
* after the murder...
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***I forget*********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm... sorry, I forgot.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah!
* Forgot, you say?
*
* -Gumshoe
* It was the day after the
* murder, Your Honor Sir.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I was the one who handed
* it to him myself! Personally!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh. R-right.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Judge
The prosecution's point
being...?

-Edgeworth
That autopsy report
is outdated, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
Wh-what!?

-Edgeworth
A second autopsy was
performed yesterday,
at my request!

-Edgeworth
"Death was almost immediate
due to a blow from a
blunt object..."

-Edgeworth
"But there is a possibility
the victim lived for several
minutes after the blow."

-Edgeworth
I received these results
this morning.

-Phoenix
N-no way!

-Edgeworth
Your Honor!

-Edgeworth
It's quite easy to imagine
that the victim did have
time to write "Maya"!

-Edgeworth
That is all.

-Judge
I see!

-Phoenix
(Damn you, Edgeworth!)

-Phoenix
(I should have known
you'd have something
up your sleeve!)

-Edgeworth
Why, Mr. Wright,
you look shocked!

-Edgeworth
Something you want to say?

***You're a sham, Edgeworth!****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Edgeworth...
*
* -Phoenix
* I've heard there's nothing
* you won't do to get
* your verdict...
*
* -Phoenix
* What reason could you possibly
* have had to request a second
* autopsy report?
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! The defense will
* refrain from personal attacks
* on the prosecution!
*
* -Edgeworth

-Edgeworth
Your Honor, I submit this
report to the court.

-Judge
U-understood. The court
accepts the evidence.

Autopsy Report updated
in the Court Record.

-Edgeworth
Well, Your Honor?

-Edgeworth
The evidence strongly suggests
the victim was identifying
the killer.

-Judge
I suppose that's the
obvious conclusion, yes.

-Phoenix
(Darn! This isn't good!)

-Edgeworth
The prosecution would like
to call its next witness.

-Edgeworth
This poor, innocent girl saw
the murder with her own eyes!

-Judge
Let the witness Miss April
May take the stand.

-Phoenix
(Exactly what part of her
is "innocent"...?)

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

-Edgeworth
Witness, your name, please.

-April
April May!
At your service! *wink*

-Judge
Order! An introduction should
not require any reaction
from the crowd!

-Judge
The witness will refrain
from wonton winking!

-April
Aww...
Yes, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(This is not good...)

-Phoenix
(She's already captured
the heart of every man
in the court!)

-Edgeworth
Tell us, where were you on
the night of September 5,
when the murder occurred?

-April
Um... gee... I was, like,
in my hotel room? Tee hee.

-April
I checked in right
after lunch.

-Edgeworth
And this hotel is directly
across from the Fey & Co.
Law Offices?

-April
Mmm... that's right, big boy.

-Judge
Please testify to the court
about what you saw.

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-April
It was, like, 9:00
at night. I looked out
the window, y'know!

(2)
-April
And then, oooh! I saw a woman
with long hair being attacked!

(3)
-April
The one attacking her was
the mousey girl sitting
in the defendant's chair!

(4)
-April
Then the woman, like,
dodged to one side and
ran away!

(5)
-April
But that girl, she caught
up to her and... and...
She hit her!

-April
Then the woman
with long hair...

-April
She kinda... slumped.

-April
The end. That's all I saw.
Every little bitsy witsy!
*wink*

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Edgeworth
Well, Your Honor?

-Judge
I see. It is a remarkably
solid testimony.

-Judge
I don't see a need to
trouble the witness any...

-Phoenix
W-wait, Your Honor!

-Judge
Yes, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
What about my cross-
examination!?

-Judge
I thought the witness's
testimony just now was
quite... firm. Didn't you?

-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright... I understand
you were Ms. Mia Fey's
understudy, were you not?

-Edgeworth
You must know her
techniques well.

-Edgeworth
Her cowardly way of finding
tiny faults in perfectly
good testimonies...

-Phoenix
H-hey! How dare you!

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
Will you cross-examine
the witness?

***Yes, I'm doing it************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'll gladly proceed with

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-April
It was, like, 9:00
at night. I looked out
the window, y'know!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why did you do that?

  -April
  Huh? "Why"?
  Like, why what?

  -Phoenix
  Why did you look out the
  window? Were you expecting
  to see something?

  -April
  Oh, well, um... gee!

  -Phoenix
  (What? That's it? She can't
  get out of this question
  that easily!)

  -April
  I sort of, y'know.

  -April
  I had a feeling!

  -Phoenix
  (Well, I have a feeling
  she's trying to avoid
  the question!)

  -Phoenix
  (Maybe I should press a
  little harder on this one?)

  ***Go for it********************************

  * -Phoenix
  * (Let's see how far I can
  * run with this...)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Surely, you must have had
  * a reason to look out your
  * window at that time of night!
  *
  * -April
  * I... oooh!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * *OBJECTION!*
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Mr. Wright! I will not have
  * you badgering my witness!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * B-badgering?
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * You insist on needling her
  * with these trivial questions.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * I really don't think it
  * should be allowed.
  *
  * (Yeah! Yeah! Stop him!)
  *
  * (The poor girl!)
  *
  * -Judge
  * Order!
  *
  * -Judge
  * Mr. Wright, you

  -Edgeworth
  You looked out the window.
  What did you see next?

(2)
-April
And then, oooh! I saw a woman
with long hair being attacked!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The woman with long hair...
  that was Mia Fey?

  -April
  Um-hmm! Slender, sort of,
  well, some people might say
  pretty, if that's your thing.

  -Phoenix
  (Your... thing?)

  -Edgeworth
  And the person attacking her?

(3)
-April
The one attacking her was
the mousey girl sitting
in the defendant's chair!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How do you know she
  was the defendant?

  -April
  Huh? Well... y'know!

  -April
  S-she had a girlish physique.
  Women know these things.

  -April
  Look... I-I just know, okay?

  -Edgeworth
  There was only one person at
  the scene of the crime with
  a short, girlish figure.

  -Edgeworth
  The testimony is bulletproof,
  Your Honor.

  -Phoenix
  (He's right...)

  ***Yep, he's right**************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Her testimony certainly
  * does make sense...)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (And everyone in the court

  *

  * (I'd better not press
  * too hard on this one.)

  * So then, tell us what
  * happened to the victim.

-April
Then the woman, like,
dodged to one side and
ran away!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  She "dodged"? Dodged what!?

  -April
  Well... the attack!

  -Edgeworth
  Please, continue your
  testimony.

(5)
-April
But that girl, she caught
up to her and... and...
She hit her!

  -Phoenix
  How did you know it
  was my client!?

  -April
  Huh? Well, I... gee!

  -April
  First of all, she had
  a girl's physique!

  -April
  And, and secondly,
  she was... she was small!

  Who else could it

her on the facts a bit!)

-April
Urp!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What's the meaning of this?

-April
Yes, what is the meaning!
Somebody tell me because I'm
clueless! About this, I mean!

-Phoenix
Okay...

-Phoenix
If you had really witnessed
my client, Maya Fey...

-Phoenix
You would have noticed her
clothes before noticing her
physique!

-April
..!

-Phoenix
No one wears clothes
like this on a daily
basis! Except her!

-Phoenix
And I'm no expert on fashion,
but her hairdo looks far from
normal to me!

-Phoenix
However, the witness's
testimony mentions neither
of these things!

-Phoenix
The testimony is bogus!

-April
But... but!

-Judge
Still, we don't know if
she was dressed that way
the night of the murder...

-Phoenix
She was, Your Honor!

-Phoenix
I saw her.

-Phoenix
And so did Detective Gumshoe!

-Phoenix
What do you say to that,
Miss May?

-April
Rowr!
What are you trying to say,
you mean lawyer!

-April
I-I saw what I saw.

-April
I... just didn't think all
the trifling little details
were necessary, darling.

-Judge
Miss May.

-Judge
The court would like to remind
you to please omit nothing
in your testimony.

-April
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
I'll be a good girl.
I promise. *wink*

-Judge
Your testimony again,
if you would.

-Phoenix
(Damn, I almost had her!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-April
I did see everything!
I did!

(2)
-April
The victim--the woman--dodged
the first attack and ran off
to the right.

(3)
-April
Then the girl in the hippie
clothes ran after her...

(4)
-April
And she hit her with that
weapon! I saw it! I did!

(5)
-April
That... that clock! Um...
the kinda statue-y clock?
"The Thinker," I think?

-April
Well? Does the accuracy of
my report not startle you?
Tee hee!

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

-Judge
I... see.

-Judge
I only wish you had been se
detailed from the beginning.

-Judge
Please begin the
cross-examination.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-April
I did see everything!
I did!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, you saw me then, too?

  -April
  Of course!

  -April
  I'd remember that
  spiky hair anywhere!

  -Phoenix
  (Spiky...?)

  -Judge
  The witness will refrain
  from personal attacks on
  the defense attorney.

  -April
  Aww, was I a bad girl?
  I'm sowwy.

  -Judge
  Very well... continue.

(2)
-April
The victim--the woman--dodged
the first attack and ran off
to the right.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Is that "right" as in your
  right, as you looked from
  the hotel?

  -April
  Um... which hand do I
  hold my knife in again...?

  -April
  Right! It was my right
  hand! Right?

  -Edgeworth
  Satisfied, Mr. Wright?
  Please continue.

(3)
-April
Then the girl in the hippie
clothes ran after her...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How convenient for you
  to remember her "hippie"
  clothes!

  -April
  That's what you--I mean,
  that's what she was wearing!

  -April
  Oh, and her hair was all
  done up like a bun!

  -Phoenix
  (*sigh*...)

  -Judge
  What happened then?

(4)
-April
And she hit her with that
weapon! I saw it! I did!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Where did this weapon
  come from?

  -April
  She picked it up from the desk!

  -Judge
  I see. What sort
  of weapon was it?

(5)
-April
That... that clock! Um...
the kinda statue-y clock?
"The Thinker," I think?

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  A... clock?

  -Phoenix
  (Didn't this come up
  in another testimony
  recently...?)

  -April
  W-well? Don't look so sour,
  Mr. Lawyer. You can't win
  them all.

  -Phoenix
  (No... but I have a feeling
  I'm on to something now!)

-Phoenix
Her previous testimony must
have been what Edgeworth
wanted her to say...)

-Phoenix
(So this was the testimony
in her own words...?)

-Phoenix
(Time to press and squeeze
the truth out of her!
Figuratively, of course.)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Miss May.

-Phoenix
What you said just now
was quite... revealing.

-April
Revealing? Oooh, you'd
like that, wouldn't you.
Naughty Mr. Lawyer...

-Phoenix
You just said that this
statue of "The Thinker"
was a clock.

-Phoenix
But there's no way of
knowing that just by
looking at it!

-April
Urp!

-Phoenix
Another person in much the
same position as you recently
called this a "clock," too...

-Phoenix
And he was found
guilty... of murder!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Phoenix
Miss May. Can you explain
how you know this was a clock?

-April
Oooh... urp!

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
The witness saw the murder
with her own eyes! That's
all that's important here!

-Edgeworth
The defense is trying to
confuse the issue with
trivial concerns!

-Judge
Yes... yes, of course.
You will withdraw your
question, Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
But questions are all
I have, Your Honor!

-Phoenix
And as you may recall,
I've caught murderers with
these questions before!

-Phoenix
(Well, only once...)

-Judge
..

-Judge
..

-Judge
Objection sustained.
You may continue to question
the witness.

-Phoenix
(Whew, that was close.)

-Phoenix
(If he stopped me there,
the trial would be over!)

-April
Huh? What?
So... what happens now?

-Phoenix
What happens now is you
answer my question! How
did you know it was a clock?

-April
What...! Th-that's...

-April
..Because... I heard it?

-April
Yes! I heard
it say the time!

-Phoenix
So, you've been to the
law offices of Fey & Co.!

-April
N-n-no! Hey, I didn't say
that! Why would I go there!

-April
I heard from my hotel room.
Hee hee!

-Edgeworth
The law offices of Fey & Co.,
where the murder took place,
are very close to the hotel.

-Edgeworth
She could easily have
heard the clock!

-Judge
Hmm. Well, Mr. Wright?
Are you satisfied?

-Phoenix
No, Your Honor!

-Phoenix
(I can't give up now!)

-Phoenix
I'm not satisfied because...

***She couldn't have heard it***************
*
* -Phoenix
* You were at the hotel!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's no way you could have
* heard a clock go off in the
* building next door!

* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* You have proof that
* she could not?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Amateurs, amateurs.
* Listen to me, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In the courtroom, proof is
* everything. Without it, you
* have nothing. You ARE nothing.
*
* -Phoenix
* Then I would like to propose
* a test to see if she really
* could have heard...
*
* -Edgeworth
* The prosecution denies
* your request!
*
* -Phoenix
* Wh-what!? On what grounds?
*
* -Edgeworth
* This is a trivial matter
* with no direct bearing
* on the case at hand!
*
* -Judge
* Indeed.
* Objection sustained.

-Judge
This clock is missing

It's quite empty!

Mr. Wright!

-Judge
Would you care to explain
to the court the meaning
of this?

-Phoenix
It is as you can see.

-Phoenix
The "clock" was empty.
It couldn't have rung!

-Phoenix
Therefore, this
witness...

-Phoenix
is a big, fat liar!

-April
F-fat!?

-Phoenix
Well, Miss May?

-Edgeworth
Tsk tsk.

-Phoenix
?

-Edgeworth
Quite a show you've
put on for us, Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
(He knew the clock was empty!
Somehow... he knew!)

-Edgeworth
I'm afraid you've forgotten
one thing, however.

-Edgeworth
Indeed, the clock is empty.
As you say... it can't ring.

-Edgeworth
However, we must ask: when
was the clockwork removed?

-Edgeworth
If it was after the witness
heard the clock, then there
is no contradiction!

-Judge
!

-Judge
Hmm! That's true. That
is a possibility.

-Judge
The clock might have been
emptied after she heard it.

-Edgeworth
And that is exactly what
happened, Your Honor!

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?

-Judge
Can you prove when
the clockwork was removed?

-Edgeworth
Ho hoh!
Impossible, of course...

-Phoenix
I have proof.

-Edgeworth
W-what!?

-Phoenix
Wasn't it you who told
me "proof is everything"?

-Phoenix
Well, I was listening.

-Phoenix
And now I'll show you the
"proof" you like so much!

-Phoenix
The evidence that proves
when the clockwork was
removed is...

***Present something wrong******************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Take a look at this!

-Judge
Hmm. That's a very
cute cell phone.

-April
Oooh hoo!
You have a girlie phone!

-Phoenix
W-wait! Wait! This
isn't my phone!

-Phoenix
Listen!

-Phoenix
This is the defendant's
cell phone, and it contains
a recording...

-Phoenix
A recording of a conversation
she had with the victim on
the day of the murder!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Edgeworth
The defendant's cell phone!?
Th-this wasn't brought
to my attention!

-Phoenix
Perhaps Detective Gumshoe
overlooked it?

-Edgeworth
*grumble* (The good detective
better remember he's up for
evaluation soon...)

-Phoenix
(My heart goes out
to you, Edgeworth. Not.)

-Phoenix
Let's hear the conversation.

-Cellular
*beep*

..

-Maya
[So you just want me to
hold on to "The Thinker"
for you, then?]

-Mia
[If you could.]

-Mia
[Ah... I should probably tell
you, the clock isn't talking
right now.]

-Maya
[Huh? It's not working?
That's lame!]

-Mia
[I had to take the
clockwork out, sorry.]

..

[September 5, 9:27 AM]

-Cellular
*beep*

-Phoenix
Your Honor,

-Phoenix
I think this recording
makes it clear that the
clockwork was already gone...

-Phoenix
and this was recorded in the
morning, before the witness
even arrived at her hotel!

-April
Muh... muh... muh!?

-Phoenix
Well, Miss May?
Would you care to explain
this to the court?

-Phoenix
Just how did you know
that weapon was a clock!?

-April
..

W-well...!

Well, isn't it o-obvious?

-April
I saw that clock before!

-April
Um... what store was that
again? I-I go to so many!

-April
Oops! I forgot!
*wink*

-Judge
So the witness had seen
it before. That would
make sense.

-Judge
Does the defense have any
objections, Mr. Wright?

***Yes**************************************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***No***************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh right... well, if she had
* seen it before, I guess...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait a second!)
*
* -Judge
* Then, the court would like--
*
* -Phoenix
* Hold on!
* P-please wait, Your Honor!
*
* -Judge
* Y-yes...? So you
* do have an objection?
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, yes, well...
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry, Your Honor,
* it's just...
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
The witness claims she
had "seen it before."

-Phoenix
But this directly contradicts
a piece of evidence already
submitted to this court!

-Judge
Well then, let's see it.

-Judge
Please produce this evidence
that will prove the witness
had not seen the clock before.

***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* Here is undeniable proof!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Please, this is a court
* case, not some surrealist
* performance art piece!
*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
* Perhaps the defense would
* like to change its mind?
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
It's simple.

-Phoenix
This clock was never
in any store, ever!

-April
W-whaaat!?

-Phoenix
A friend of mine
made that clock.

-Phoenix
Only two exist in the world.

-Phoenix
And the one that isn't
here is in police custody!

-April
I-impossible!
Everything is sold in stores!

-Phoenix
Miss May, I think it's high
time you went shopping for
a better excuse...?

-April
Mmpf...

-Phoenix
Oh? Excuses not on sale today?

-April
Oooh? Oh ho ho. Mmmrrrrrph!

-April
Ooooorrrrrrr
ggggghhhhhhh... hhh!!!

-April
What's it to you,
porcupine-head!?

-April
That stupid clock
doesn't matter, okay!?

-April
She did it! And she should
die for it! Die!

-Judge
W-w-whoa! Let's not get
ahead of ourselves.

-Judge
T-this is a court of law,
and the witness will
remain calm!

-April
Hrrrgh... hrrrh...
Hrrr... heh. Oh?

-April
Oh! Oh? Oh hoh ho!
S-silly me!
*grunt*

-April
Did I, um, like... lose it?

-April
I guess I did. Tee hee! *wink*

-Phoenix
(S-scary...)

-Judge
Miss May, let me ask.

-Judge
Tell me, how did you know
the weapon was a clock?

-April
..

-Judge
Hmm... oh dear.

-Judge
Does the defense have an
opinion on this... behavior?

-Phoenix
(Okay, this is it!)

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
Allow me to explain how
I see the truth of the matter.

-Phoenix
Miss April May, you knew the
weapon was a clock because...

***You held it******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (This is familiar territory.
* I'll just use the same
* approach as with Larry.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May held that very
* clock in her hands!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* When was this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* When she used it to strike
* the victim! When else?
*
* -Judge
* Order! Order!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! What is
* the meaning of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* April May, you killed
* Mia Fey, I say!
*
* -Phoenix
* And when you struck, the
* force of the impact
* made "The Thinker" ring!
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when you heard it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk tsk.
*
* -Edgeworth
* You truly are a work
* of art, Mr. Phoenix Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what's that supposed
* to mean!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was you who just proved
* that "The Thinker" was
* empty!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh...
* (Urk! Of course it
* wouldn't ring!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* What's more, the witness
* has a rock-solid alibi.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Miss May?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Perhaps you could explain
* to the poor, misguided
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Edgeworth
* You were in the hotel
* at the time of the murder.
*
* -Phoenix
* (S-she can't prove it!
* She did it!)
*
* -April
* It would be MY pleasure!
*
* -Phoenix
* N-no way!
*
* -April
* Yes way, Mr. Lawyer.
*
* -April
* Tee hee? Didn't the murder
* take place at 9:00 at night?
*
* -April
* Gee, that's the exact time
* I ordered some room service
* from the hotel bellboy!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Incidentally, the bellboy
* corroborates the witness's
* story.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ergo, she was not at the
* crime scene! Rock solid!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! You've just made
* a serious accusation to a
* perfectly innocent woman!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
* (That... didn't go so well.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But, if that's the case...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Then how did she know
* "The Thinker" was a clock!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait!)
*
* -Phoenix
* Your Honor, I figured it out!
*
* -Phoenix
* There is one other way
* Miss April May could have
* known it was a clock!
*
* -Phoenix
* One way alone!
* And I have proof!
*
* -Judge
* Well...
* proof, you say?
*
* -Judge
* Then, the court will
* examine your proof,
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* How did the witness know
* "The Thinker" was a clock?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***You had heard about it*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* The witness had never
* held the clock in her hand!
*
* -Phoenix
* However, she had heard
* that it was a clock!
*
* -Judge
* She "heard"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* That is correct, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* There is no other way
* she could have known
* "The Thinker" was a clock!
*
* -Phoenix
* And I can show you the proof!
*
* -Judge
* Well, this is interesting.
*
* -Judge
* Let's see it, then.
*
* -Judge
* Show me evidence proving
* that the witness had "heard"
* the murder weapon was a clock.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* This is my evidence!
*
* -Judge
* I'm afraid I'm not sure
* where you are going with
* all of this, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* Um... "where"? Well,
* it's not so much a
* place as a... er...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Come to the end of your
* bluff, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait! Wait!
* That was, uh, practice!
* Here's the real evidence!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright, this court does
* not condone the presentation
* of evidence for "practice."
*
* -Judge
* Let's see your evidence, for
* real this time, Mr. Wright.
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Have a look at this.

-April
Ah! Oooh!
Th-that!? Eh heh...

-Phoenix
I found this in
Miss May's room.

-Judge
Mr. Wright! Please explain
to the court what this is!

-Phoenix
Miss April May?

-Phoenix
You were tapping the victim,
Ms. Mia Fey's phone, were
you not?

-April
Oooh. Oooooh!

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Your Honor,
This is irrelevant!

-Judge
I'm not entirely sure that
it is. Objection overruled.

-Judge
It troubles me that our
witness was in possession
of a wiretap.

-Edgeworth
This is outrageous! Does the
defense truly claim that the
witness was tapping her phone?

-Phoenix
Absolutely!

-Edgeworth
Even if that was the case,
(which it's not) you still
have to prove one thing!

-Edgeworth
Did the victim ever say that
the weapon was a clock on
the phone?

-Edgeworth
Can you prove that?
I THINK NOT!

-Phoenix
Oh yeah? I THINK I CAN!
It's simple!

-Edgeworth
WHAAAAT!?

-Phoenix
Here's my proof.

-Phoenix
The proof that the victim
said, on the phone, that the
weapon was a clock is...

***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* This!
*
* -Phoenix
* I think...
*
* -Judge
* That's not going to prove
* anything, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* I think...
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait! That was
* just a warm up!
*
* -Judge
* Hmm! Okay, once again.
* And I expect real proof
* this time!
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
I present the defendant's
cell phone.

-Judge
Yes, we've seen that.

-Phoenix
Listen once more to the
conversation between the
defendant and the victim.

-Cellular
*beep*

..

-Maya
[Mia! What's up? You haven't
called in a while.]

-Mia
[Well, actually there's
something I want you to
hold on to for me.]

-Maya
[Again?
What's it this time?]

-Mia
[It's... a clock.]

-Mia
[It's made to look like
that statue, "The Thinker."
And it tells you the time!]

..

-Phoenix
Miss April May!

-Phoenix
You used a wiretap to
listen to this conversation!

-Phoenix
That's how you knew
"The Thinker" was a clock!

-Phoenix
Am I wrong!?

-April
I... I...

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Your Honor, this
is ridiculous!

-Phoenix
Your Honor, look at the
witness's face? Does
she seem amused to you!?

-Phoenix
The defense demands
an answer.

-April
La... laaa... lrrrrgf!

-Judge
Witness, answer the question.
Did you tap her phone?

-April
..

-Judge
Miss May!

-April
Shut up, all of you!
What gives you the right
to talk to ME like that!

-April
You... you LAWYER!

.....

-April
I-it's no fair!
All of you g-ganging
up on me like that...

-April
Oh, so I'm the bad girl,
is that it? Is that it!?

-April
Uh... uh... uwaaaaaaah!

-Phoenix
(That did it! The court's seen
the real Miss April May now!)

-Phoenix
(Now to deal the final blow!)

***You did it, didn't you*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May!
*
* -April
* What is it you little shrimp!
* Talk to me in that tone of
* voice will you!?
*
* -Phoenix
* You killed her, didn't you!
*
* -Judge
* Order!
* There will be order!
*
* -April
* What? How can you possibly
* say that!? Are you mad?
*
* -April
* A-all I did was
* a little wiretap...
*
* -April
* Oops!
*
* -Phoenix
* So you admit you
* tapped her phone!
*
* -April
* Heh... heh... hrrah!
*
* -April
* B-but wait!
*
* -April
* I didn't do ANYTHING bad
* like murder! I'm a good girl!
*
* -Phoenix
* Really?
*
* -Phoenix
* Can you prove it!?
*
* -Phoenix
* (No way can she prove it!)
*
* -April
* You think you're so
* smart, Mr. Lawyer...
*
* -April
* But I can prove it!
* And I will!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Why the wiretap?*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Why did you tap her phone?
*
* -April
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Answer the question!
*
* -April
* Do I have to?
*
* -April
* Isn't this a murder trial?
* Isn't tippity-tapping er...
* irrelevant?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Gah! She's saying exactly
* what Edgeworth wants her
* to say.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Miss May.
*
* -Phoenix
* You were tapping the
* victim's phone!
*
* -Phoenix
* I hardly call that
* "irrelevant"!
*
* -Judge
* While this court does not
* condone the defense's tone
* of speech, he has a point.
*
* -Judge
* Well, Miss May?
* Do you have an explanation
* for the court?
*
* -Judge
* Can you prove you had nothing
* to do with this murder, even
* though you tapped her phone?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hah! I'd like to see her
* pull THAT off!)
*
* -April
* Mr. Lawyer, I saw that
* evil, evil grin!

* -April
* You were probably thinking

* Well you're not the first man
* who's thought that! And of
* course... I can, and will!

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

-Phoenix
You can't be serious!
No way!

-April
Way, I say! Way!
Oh, and I assure you
I'm serious, Mr. Lawyer!

-April
Hmph!

-April
Okay? So, the killing happened
around 9:00 at night?

-April
Why, that's just when I was
getting room service from
that sweet bellboy...

-Phoenix
R-room service!?

-April
Ice coffee, I believe it was?

-April
Ice coffee? You know?
Like normal coffee, but COLD.

-April
If you don't drink it quick,
the ice melts and then you
have... regular cold coffee.

-Phoenix
I-ice coffee...!?

-April
Think I'm making this up?
Ask the bellboy! *wink*

-Edgeworth
Ergo, the witness was not
on the scene at the time
of the murder!

-Phoenix
!

-Judge
So, where does
that leave us...?

-Edgeworth
It is my great displeasure
to inform you...

-Edgeworth
That the witness appears to
have been tapping the victim's
telephone.

-Edgeworth
However! That is a separate
crime, with no bearing on
the current case whatsoever!

-Edgeworth
Her testimony stands! She saw
the defendant, Maya Fey,
commit murder!

-Phoenix
(No! They're going to
let her just walk away!)

-Phoenix
(There's no way I can win
this unless I tie Miss May
to the murder somehow...)

-Judge
Well, does the defense
have anything to say?

-Phoenix
Um, well...
(Come on, think of something!)

***Call the bellboy as a witness************
*
* -Phoenix
* The defense would like to
* call the hotel bellboy as
* a witness!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's something suspicious
* there, and I'm going to get
* to the bottom of it!
*
* -April
* I think you've sunken
* quite low enough already.
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* I object to calling
* the bellboy!
*
* -Phoenix
* W-why?
* What's your reason?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Because I hold that the
* wiretapping had nothing to
* do with the killing!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Edgeworth
* However...
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you agree to one condition,
* I'll consent to calling this
* witness.
*
* -Phoenix
* Condition...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* If Miss April May's alibi is
* not called into question after
* you examine the bellboy...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Then you will recognize that
* Miss April May was not the
* killer, thus she is innocent!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Therefore you must accept
* the verdict of "guilty"
* for Ms. Maya Fey!
*
* -Edgeworth
* That is my condition.
*
* -Phoenix
* (What...!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better find something
* suspicious in that bellboy's
* testimony...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Otherwise Maya will be
* declared "guilty" on the
* spot!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (What should I do...?)

* ***Accept the condition*********************

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Understood.
* * I accept your condition.
* *
* * -Edgeworth
* * Hmph.
* *
* * -Edgeworth
* * Fool...
* * You fell right into my trap!

* ***Give up**********************************

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Very well. The defense

* *
* * -Judge
* * I see. You may continue your

***Continue examining Miss May**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. On with the
* cross-examination.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What exactly do you
* have left to examine,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Miss April May has admitted
* to the wiretap, yes.
*
* -Edgeworth
* But that bears no relevance
* to the case at hand: murder!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There's no way you can
* prove any connection!

* -Phoenix

* None, Your Honor.

* (What!? B-but that means...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maya's guilty...!?)

* -Phoenix
* W-wait! Your Honor!

* -Judge
* Yes, Mr. Wright?

Very well!

I believe we're ready

-Edgeworth
He certainly does look
like a bellboy.

-Bellboy
Yes, sir.

-Bellboy
I received your summons in
the middle of work, sir.
I'm happy to be of service.

That tea set looks rather

WITNESS TESTIMONY

I brought it to her at
precisely the requested

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Miss May's Room Service --

(1)
-Bellboy
I am the head bellboy at the
fine Gatewater Hotel, in
business for four generations!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What exactly is it you
  do at the hotel?

  -Bellboy
  Why, anything required
  of me, sir.

  -Bellboy
  I check in guests,
  I check out guests.

  -Bellboy
  I clean rooms,
  I make beds.

  -Bellboy
  I even deliver room
  service, sir.

  -Bellboy
  I checked Miss May in
  personally.

  -Phoenix
  Are you always
  so... so prim?

  -Judge
  Mr. Wright.

  -Judge
  You will refrain from asking
  frivolous questions...

(2)
-Bellboy
I believe I received a call
after 8:00 in the evening
from our guest, Miss May.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure it was
  Miss May on the phone?

  -Bellboy
  Absolutely, sir.

  -Phoenix
  H-how can you be so certain!?

  -Bellboy
  I checked Miss May in
  personally, sir.

  -Bellboy
  Not only did I see her in
  all her stunning radiance,
  but I also heard her voice.

  -Bellboy
  And then I saw THEM,
  and I...

  -Bellboy
  Ahem. Er... ahem!

  -Bellboy
  The point being, I remembered
  her quite well, sir.

  -Judge
  Yes, what then?

(3)
-Bellboy
She asked for an ice coffee
to be brought to her at
9:00, on the dot, sir.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  9:00 "on the dot,"
  you say?

  -Bellboy
  Yes. I confirmed that
  detail several times.

  -Bellboy
  She was watching a program
  on the TV, and wished to
  drink after she finished, sir.

  -Phoenix
  (9:00... the time
  of the murder!)

(4)
-Bellboy
I brought it to her at
precisely the requested
time, of course.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Precisely" 9:00, then?

  -Bellboy
  Precisely, exactly, and
  most definitely, sir,
  9:00 PM.

  -Phoenix
  How can you be so sure!?

  -Bellboy
  Miss May was quite
  insistent that it
  be brought then.

  -Bellboy
  "Oh, bellboy? Tee hee!
  I'd like, like, ice coffee
  at exactly 9:00!"

  -Bellboy
  Something like that, sir.

  -Bellboy
  Therefore, I knocked on
  her door at the crack
  of 9:00, sir.

  -Phoenix
  (Why would she be so
  particular about the time?)

(5)
-Bellboy
And I delivered the ice
coffee to our guest Miss
May, herself.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You are sure it was
  Miss April May herself?

  -Bellboy
  Ab-SO-lutely, sir.

  -Phoenix
  "Ab-SO-lutely"...?

  -Bellboy
  Yes, sir. As n, "so very
  absolutely," sir. It's an
  endearing mannerism of mine.

  -Phoenix
  How come you're
  so very certain!?

  -Bellboy
  Well, when I brought
  the room service, sir...

  -Bellboy
  S-she... the guest, sir,
  favored me w-with a, um,
  an "embrasser," sir.

  -Phoenix
  "Embrasser"!? Is that
  French for "embrace"?

  -Bellboy
  It's French for "kiss," sir.
  But not a french kiss, sir!
  More of a peck on the cheek.

  -Phoenix
  Wh-why would she
  have done that...?

  -Bellboy
  I believe, perhaps, she
  was momentarily swayed by
  my prim demeanor, sir.

  -Bellboy
  It was a moment I shall
  never, ever forget, sir.

  -Phoenix
  (Sounds pretty fishy to me...)

  -Phoenix
  (I think our Miss May was up
  to something and wanted the
  bellboy to remember her!)

-Phoenix
(This bellboy wouldn't
have any reason to lie...)

-Phoenix
(But I have to find
something to use in
his testimony!)

-Phoenix
(One more time. I'll press him
until he spills the beans...
or his tea!)

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

AFTER PRESSING EVERY DETAIL

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
It's no good!
(There's nothing there!)

-Phoenix
(Is... is that it!?)

-Edgeworth
Tsk tsk.

-Edgeworth
Finally, you understand.

-Edgeworth
This bellboy has absolutely
no reason to lie!

-Edgeworth
Now...

-Edgeworth
If you have any decency, you
will end this rather tedious
cross-examination here!

-Judge
Hmm. It was a bit tedious.

-Judge
The witness may leave
the stand.

-Phoenix
(I can't let this
happen... can I?)

-Phoenix
W-wait! Please wait!

-Judge
Yes? Does the defense have
something to add?

-Phoenix
One last question... let me
ask one last question!

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Your Honor, I must object.

-Edgeworth
This charade of justice
has gone on long enough!

-Judge
Now, now, Mr. Edgeworth.

-Judge
Alright Mr. Wright.
I'll give you one more
question, that's all.

-Phoenix
(Okay.)

-Phoenix
(This is really it, now.
This is my last chance!)

-Phoenix
(What do I ask him about...!?)

***Check-in*********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* T-tell me about
* check-in!
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me about when you
* checked-in Miss May.
*
* -Bellboy
* Oh, alright.
* Very well, sir.
*
* -Bellboy
* My first thought was
* that she was a beautiful,
* beautiful person.
*
* -Bellboy
* She's just my type of girl,
* so it was a disappointment,
* really.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see...
*
* -Phoenix
* ?
*
* -Phoenix
* Excuse me... what exactly
* was a "disappointment"?
*
* -Bellboy
* Well, I am not without charm,
* sir, but even I'd have little
* chance with her lover there.
*
* -Phoenix
* (...!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (What did he say!?)
*
* -Phoenix
* What did you say!?
*
* -Bellboy
* Ah! Oh... er... rather, quite!
*
* -Phoenix
* Bellboy! Tell us the
* truth now...
*
* -Phoenix
* Did Miss May check in
* with another person?

***Room service*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* T-tell me again about

*
* -Bellboy
* A-again, sir?
*
* -Bellboy
* At exactly 9:00,
* I delivered room service
* to Miss May in room 303.
*
* -Bellboy
* The guest had requested
* ice coffee... $18 was the
* charge, as I recall.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see...
*
* -Phoenix
* ...?
*
* -Phoenix
* E-eighteen dollars?
* Doesn't that seem a bit
* expensive?
*
* -Bellboy
* Y-yes, well, ice coffee
* for two, you know. And we
* don't skimp on the ice, sir.
*
* -Phoenix
* (...!)
*

* What did you say!?

* Ah! Oh... er... rather, quite!

***Bed making*******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Bed... bed making!
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me about making
* beds that day.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I was wondering what you
* were going to ask, but
* bed making? A new low!
*
* -Judge
* Now, now, Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* -Judge
* The witness will answer
* the defense's question.
*
* -Bellboy
* Yes, well, it was quite like
* any other day's bed making.
*
* -Bellboy
* I changed the sheets, the
* pillowcases, and then I
* proceeded to make the bed.
*
* -Bellboy
* I had to bring pillows for
* two, of course, but they're
* quite light, you see.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see.
* Thank you.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix

*
* -Phoenix
* Bellboy! What did you

* Eh!? Ah, yes, pillows

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
I object! That was...
objectionable!

-Judge
..

-Judge
Objection overruled.
The witness will answer
the question.

-Bellboy
Er... yes, I see.

-Phoenix
Why did you not mention
this in your testimony!?

-Bellboy
W-well, sir, you er...
you didn't ask!

-Phoenix
(Nice try!)

-Phoenix
That's the sort of thing
you're normally supposed
to mention!

-Bellboy
Ah, yes, quite.
Indeed...

-Bellboy
It was the, er, good
barrister there,
Mr. Edgeworth, who...

-Phoenix
!

-Bellboy
He asked me not to mention
it if I wasn't specifically
asked, sir.

-Edgeworth
Oof!

-Edgeworth
Y-you fool!

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

-Phoenix
I've done it... I've won!

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

-Phoenix
Miss April May checked into
a twin room... with a man.

-Phoenix
Correct?

-Bellboy
Yes, sir.

-Phoenix
Then, when you brought
them room service,

-Phoenix
you didn't see that
man in the room...?

-Bellboy
That's right, sir.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
We have just learned of
another person involved who
may have been the murderer!

-Phoenix
In this new light, I hold
that it's impossible to judge
the defendant.

-Phoenix
You agree, Mr. Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
Who! Who is this
"other person"!

-Phoenix
Simple, it was...

***Miss April May***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* None other than
* Miss April May!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Eh!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Have you heard nothing that
* has transpired so far!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* She has an alibi! She was
* in the hotel at the time
* of the murder!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh... right.

* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!

* S-sorry, Your Honor!

* -Judge
* Well, this comes as

*
* -Edgeworth
* Your Honor, Mr. Wright...
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was the bellboy who
* confirmed Miss May's

*
* -Edgeworth
* And this in turn confirms

* He was in the hotel!

* -Phoenix
* Well, s-sure...

*
* -Edgeworth
* I do put it that way,

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

-Phoenix
The man who checked in
with Miss May!

-Edgeworth
Oof!

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
As has been previously
revealed, Miss April May was
tapping the victim's phone.

-Phoenix
Yet Miss May herself has
an alibi at the time of
the murder.

-Phoenix
However, that does not
clear the man that was
with her!

-Phoenix
The bellboy saw no one
else in the room at the
time of the murder!!!

-Edgeworth
M-my, what a convenient
little setup... but it's
too late...

-Phoenix
"Too late"?

-Phoenix
I suppose you'd like it
if it was too late,
wouldn't you...

-Phoenix
After all, it was you who
hid the presence of the
other man from this court!

-Edgeworth
Oof!

-Edgeworth
Upstart... amateur...!

-Edgeworth
T-these accusations are...
ludicrous!

-Judge
Enough!

-Judge
The court acknowledges the
defense's argument.

-Judge
I expect the prosecution
and defense to look into
this matter fully!

-Judge
Am I understood?

-Edgeworth
Yes... *gasp*
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
That is all today for the
trial of Maya Fey.

-Judge
Court is adjourned!

District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

-Maya
Mr. Wright!

-Maya
You were amazing in there!

-Phoenix
R-really?

-Maya
I think I might be
your newest fan!

-Phoenix
Oh, I was just "doing
my job" you know... heh heh.

-Maya
Then again, that other
attorney was pretty
cool, too...

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Maya
That face of his! With his
eyes wide, and trembling lips!

-Maya
It sent shivers
up my spine!

-Phoenix
Hmm... if you say so.

-Maya
So, what happens with me?

-Maya
Do I get to go home now?

-Phoenix
Well, no.

-Phoenix
I don't think so.
Not yet.

-Maya
Oh... I see.

-Phoenix
But I got a great lead
in today's trial!

-Maya
A "lead"?

-Phoenix
That man with Miss May!
He's the key!

-Maya
Oh! I get it.

-Maya
What happened to Miss May
after that, anyway?

-Phoenix
I heard they arrested her.
I guess she's learning her
charms won't work everywhere.

-Phoenix
She's probably at the
detention center now. I may
have to go down there later.

-Phoenix
Anyway.

-Phoenix
This case is far from closed.

-Maya
Yes sir!

-Phoenix
I'm going to find out
more about this man.

-Maya
Do you think he was
the one who...?

-Phoenix
Maybe so.

-Maya
Sis...

-Phoenix
Don't worry, I'll find
him by tomorrow. I promise.

-Maya
I'm counting on you!

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

-Phoenix
I asked for a full record of
April May's testimony.

-Phoenix
I thought it might come in
handy during the trial
tomorrow.

-Phoenix
But now that I have it,
I'm not so sure.

-Phoenix
Most of her testimony
was all lies...

-Phoenix
In fact, there's only
one part that got left
on the record.

May Testimony added
to the Court Record.

-Phoenix
I don't know how much
good this will do me
at all, now.

-Phoenix
Anyway, time to hit
the pavement and do
some investigating!

-Phoenix
Maya doesn't belong in that
detention center, and it's
up to me to get her free!

Well hello!

I didn't expect anyone to

It's really quite... moving.

-April
Not! You stinking lawyer!
I hope you die!

-April
Have you come to laugh?
Yes, laugh at the fallen
Miss May!

-Phoenix
No, not really, there's
something I wanted to ask.

-April
Unfortunately, there is
nothing I want to BE asked.

-April
Haven't you done enough
questioning, you...!
Spiky-head!

Please, you're scaring

Quite the performance today,

Oh, um, thanks.

-Phoenix
Sorry for putting you
on the spot like that.

-Bellboy
No, no, not at all, sir!

-Bellboy
Your efforts today can only
help the Gatewater's "rep,"

-Phoenix
Huh? "Rep"?

-Bellboy
Yes! Our reputation will
swell as the hotel where the
murderer used a wiretap!

-Bellboy
We can charge a premium for
the room, of course. It will
be great for business, sir!

-Phoenix
Whoa, whoa! Miss May hasn't
been charged with murder.

-Bellboy
I, too, will become famous!

-Bellboy
"The Bellboy who brought the

* -Bellboy
* How about I write an affidavit
* swearing that that's him!
*
* -Phoenix
* An affidavit?
* (This guy is way too
* excited about this...)
*
* ***Have him write it************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Well, sure. Why not?
* *
* * -Bellboy
* * Yes!
* *
* * -Bellboy
* * I've always wanted to
* * write an affidavit, sir.
* *
* * -Bellboy
* * From hence forth I will
* * be known as the "bellboy
* * who swore the affidavit"!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Just hurry up and write it.
* *
* * Bellboy's Affidavit added
* * to the Court Record.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Not even Miss May
* * can play dumb to this!)
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***Turn him down****************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Well thanks, but I don't
* * think that will be necessary.
* *
* * -Bellboy
* * Oh? Oh, I see. Well later
* * then, if you need it.
* *
* ********************************************

***Present Photograph (man) again***********
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry to press the

*
* -Bellboy
* I, too, am sorry to press

*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... thanks.
*
********************************************

***Present Bellboy's Affidavit**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks for this.

* -Bellboy
* No no no, not at all, sir!
*
* -Bellboy
* I hope you'll use it

MOVE TO: Grossberg Law Offices

-Phoenix
(*sigh* He's out again?)

-Phoenix
(Huh? No more photos
on the desk...)

MOVE TO: Detention Center

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

-April
YOU AGAIN!?
Can't you take a hint
and stay gone?

-Phoenix
Hey, the only reason I'm
back here is because YOU
won't talk to me!

-April
Oh, so it's MY fault now?

-April
You don't just have spiky
hair, you also have a
spiky heart.

-Phoenix
(That does it. When this case
is done I'm shaving my head.)

***Talk about "That "man""******************
*
* -Phoenix
* About the man who stayed
* with you in your hotel room...
*
* -Phoenix
* Can you tell me about him?
* Where is he?
*
* -April
* I'm not telling!
*
* -Phoenix
* Look, he's being accused of
* murder! I don't think you
* want to be protecting him.
*
* -April
* Hmm. Would you have sold
* out the late Ms. Fey to
* the cops?
*
* -Phoenix
* No.
*
* -April
* See?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Damn!)
*
* -Phoenix

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

***Present Photograph (man)*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Have a look at this.
*
* -April
* Look, I've said several

*
* -April
* !
*
* -April
* Where did you...?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Ah hah! A reaction!)
*
* -Phoenix
* This is him, isn't it?
*
* -April
* What? Who? When? Why...?
*
* -Phoenix
* It IS him.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the man who stayed
* in your hotel room the night
* of the murder!
*
* -April
* No! No, that's not right.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Nice try, Miss Cooperative.)
*
* -April
* D-do you have proof
* that was him? Hmm?
*
* -April
* Y-yeah! Proof! Show me proof!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'm so close!)
*
********************************************

***Present Bellboy's Affidavit**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you have
* a look at this?
*
* -April
* What's that?
*
* -Phoenix
* The bellboy's affidavit!
* He told us everything he saw.
*
* -Phoenix
* He told us about the man
* you checked in with.
*
* -Phoenix
* He told us who he was.
*
* -April
* ...!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Now I'm getting somewhere!)
*
* ***Ease her fears***************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Okay, okay... she's vulnerable
* * now. I should be gentle.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Miss May...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * It would be easy for me to
* * hand this affidavit to the
* * police.
* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * If they get involved, wouldn't
* * your boss be even more...
* * er... inconvenienced?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * All I want to do is have
* * a little chat with him.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * You won't tell me?
* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -April
* * Is that all you have to say?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Yes.
* *
* * -April
* * It it's so easy for you to
* * "get the police involved,"
* * then why don't you?
* *
* * -April
* * Somehow I think you're
* * not up to it, hmm?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Show them a little kindness
* * and they jump all over you!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (That had the opposite
* * effect to what I hoped...)
* *
* * -April
* * Aww. *smirk*
* * Poor little lawyer...
* *
* * -April
* * And you were so close!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (This isn't working...)
* *

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Dammit!
* *
* * Discarded the
* * Bellboy's Affidavit.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (The man in this photo

* * to talk about it... she must
* * know him!)
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***Push her hard****************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (This is it, all or nothing!
* * Time to do a little bluff.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * No use playing dumb!
* * (If, indeed, that's an act.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * If you don't talk, I'm taking
* * this photo to the press!
* *
* * -April
* * Whaaaaat!?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Even though he should be a
* * witness to murder, this man
* * is in hiding.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I'm sure the press would

* *
* * -Phoenix

* * -Phoenix
* * Now, tell me about the

* *
* * -April
* * That man...
* * He's my boss.
* *
* * -April
* * Redd White, the president

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Redd... White?)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * "Information gathering?"
* *
* * -April
* * Well... I suppose you could
* * call them a detective agency.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Hmm...
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * So this is the man that
* * was with you the night
* * of the murder?
* *
* * -April
* * ...
* *
* * -April
* * I'm...

* *
* * -Phoenix

Hmm. The bellboy

Huh? The sound of water

-Bellboy
"La-dee-da! Money-Makin'...

Someone seems to enjoy
washing the showers.

MOVE TO: Grossberg Law Offices

-Phoenix
(Alright, this is getting
ridiculous. Where the heck
is that loafer?)

-Grossberg
*Ah-HHHHEM!*

-Phoenix
(Ah, that old familiar
clearing of the throat...)

-Grossberg
Ah hah! You again.

-Phoenix
Um, hello, Mr. Grossberg.

-Grossberg
..

-Grossberg
Well, well.

-Grossberg
You were quite the
thing, my boy.

-Phoenix
Excuse me...?

-Grossberg
The trial! The trial!

-Phoenix
(He was there...?)

-Grossberg
Reminded me of myself
when I was a youth!

-Phoenix
(I guess something got passed
down through Mia... maybe?)

-Grossberg
It brings back
memories, it does!

-Grossberg
"Ah... the days of my youth...
like the scent of fresh
lemon..." you see.

-Grossberg
..

-Grossberg
I apologize.

-Phoenix
?

-Grossberg
I... It was all a bit
too much for me, my boy.

-Grossberg
Seeing you today,
I... well, I...

-Grossberg
..

-Phoenix
(I appreciate the reminiscing,
but I'd much rather you gave
me some information!)

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

***Talk about "Today's trial"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* So you came to
* see the trial?
*
* -Grossberg
* Yes, yes I did.
*
* -Grossberg
* Something was bothering me
* all last night, you see. I
* couldn't get a wink of sleep.
*
* -Phoenix
* Really? What was that?
*
* -Grossberg
* Well, you see, it's just...
* Mia's sister, that poor girl.
*
* -Grossberg
* My boy, I owe you
* my thanks, truly.
*
* -Grossberg
* I don't know what I would
* have done if things had
* gone poorly for the girl.
*
* -Phoenix
* (If you were that worried

* offer to defend her!?)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Your refusal"****************
*
* -Phoenix
* I asked before, but, why
* did you refuse her request
* for defense?
*
* -Phoenix
* I think I have
* a right to know.
*
* -Grossberg
* A right, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Grossberg
* No, no, I'm sorry. It's just,
* I need more time to think
* about it, my boy.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (He does seem troubled
* about something...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maybe I can find something
* that will inspire him to
* talk.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "That painting"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* The other day I'm sure there
* was a big, pretentious-looking
* painting on that wall...
*
* -Grossberg
* "Pretentious-looking"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well... you know
* the one I mean.
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, where did it go?
*
* -Grossberg
* Ah, yes, well...
*
* -Grossberg
* I... got rid of it. Got quite
* tired of the thing, really.
*
* -Grossberg
* I, er, sold it, you see.
* Yes, that's right.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Sold it!?
* I'm not sure I buy that...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Wasn't that painting rather
* important to you, sir?
*
* -Phoenix
* Did something happen?
*
* -Grossberg
* I don't see how it's
* any of your business!
*
* -Grossberg
* Please, speak no more

*
* -Grossberg
* I didn't...
* I...

* * Give it back at once!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I'm sorry to have taken

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * But... I have to know.
* * Who is this man?

* * -Phoenix
* * He was most likely in

* * -Grossberg
* * !
* * What's that you say!?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * A-are you QUITE sure?
* * My boy?
* *
* * -Phoenix

* * I wonder...?)
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * I... I beg your pardon, but
* * I must ask you to leave.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * I need to be alone.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (...!)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (He's fallen silent
* * as a stone. A rather
* * large stone.)
* *

* * (I guess I should

* * Well, give it back at once!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Mr. Grossberg.
* * Tell me about the man
* * in this photo.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * He may have been in that hotel

* *
* * -Phoenix

* * Hmm. Ahem!
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Very well.
* * I'll tell you what I know.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * However...
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * You didn't hear it

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I follow.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * That man is Mr. Redd White.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * He's the President of Bluecorp.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Redd White... Hmm.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Bluecorp... they're something
* * like a detective agency, right?
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * They're information pros.
* * They sell information, you see.
* * Sensitive information.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Despite his name, Mr. White
* * has the blackest reputation
* * of any man in this country.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * Should you run across him,
* * watch what you say.
* *
* * -Grossberg
* * You wouldn't want him digging

* * -Phoenix
* * (Hmm... selling information.
* * Sounds like blackmail.)
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Can you tell me where

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
(What's with the surreal
décor...?)

-???
Welcome! Please furnish
me with the title of your
personage!

-Phoenix
(What the...?)

-White
Your name!
What's your name?

-White
I was just inquirably asking
the title that you go by.

-Phoenix
Uh... Wright. Phoenix Wright.
("Inquirably"...?)

-White
Mr. Wright, is it?
Right, I see...

-White
Splendiferous.

-White
Perhaps I have intimidated
you with my giantesque
vocabulary...?

-Phoenix
(What is this guy's problem!)

-White
I'm Redd White, CEO of
Bluecorp. You know,
Corporate Expansion Official?

-White
My business dealings
bring me into contact with
the elite of the elite.

White
So I'm afraid I am not
used to conversing with the
wordily-challenged.

-Phoenix
(What a fruitcake!)

-White
Hmmm, let me guess...

-White
You are an attorney fresh out
of law school, are you not?

-White
That's the only explanation
for why you would come to
meet me like this!

-Phoenix
(What does he mean by that?)

-White
No matter.

-White
So, what business does a
"mighty" lawyer have with
a man such as myself?

-Phoenix
(Yipes! This guy's arrogance
meter is off the scale!)

* Is this a replica?

* Ridiculosity! I have no

* Hmmm...

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

***Examine desk*****************************

* -Phoenix
* "What she has done"...
* You mean the wiretap?
*
* -White
* Indeed! She is paid to

*
* -White
* She does gather information

*
* -White
* But, I assure you, we do
* not condone illegal methods!
*
* -White
* It is ineffable that

***Talk about "Night of the murder"*********

* On the night of the murder
* were you in April May's

* attention to mundane details
* such as time and place.
*
* -White
* My motto is:

* Still, Mr. White...

* Her name was Misty Fey.

* She had been investigating
* a murder at the bequest of</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
* the police.
*
* -Grossberg
* And... she failed.
*
* -Grossberg
* As a result, the police
* called her a fraud.
*
* -Phoenix
* (This is what Maya was
* talking about the other day!)
*
* -Grossberg
* I did all I could for her,
* and in the end, cleared her
* of wrongdoing.

* * Let's see if there's
* * "A" record in this file
* * that catches my "I."
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * "A"... "B"... "F"!
* * "Misty Fey."
* * That's Mia and Maya's mother.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Hmmm... Should I take a look?
* *
* * ***Read it**********************************
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "'I have tarnished the Fey
* * * name.' Leaving only these
* * * words, my mother vanished."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "I was determined to find the

* * * blame herself in this way."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "Using the E.S.P. that
* * * runs in my family, I held
* * * an audience with the dead."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "Finally, the names of
* * * two men surfaced."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "One was Marvin Grossberg,
* * * a lawyer who sold my mother's
* * * information for riches."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "The other was the man
* * * who sold that information
* * * to the press."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "This parasite, who makes
* * * his fortune on threats and
* * * coercion..."
* * *
* * * -Mia
* * * "His name is..."
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * Hmm. The record stops there.
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * ...
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * So Mia knew Grossberg...

* * * I don't think it has

* * * Well, no harm in flipping

* * * -Phoenix
* * * The biggest part's here

* * * "Suicide"? Eww...
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * She has a collection of

* * *

* * * -Phoenix
* * * "White"...?
* * * This is Mia's handwriting.
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * Wait, I get it!

* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * White drove them all to...
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * ...
* * *
* * * -Phoenix
* * * I can use these

* * *
* * * Newspaper Clipping added

MOVE TO: Bluecorp

-White
Well, aren't you persistent.

-Phoenix
Sorry, but there's something
I have to ask you.

-White
Mr. Lawyer,

-White
I really hate having to
repeat myself...

-White
But it seems the message has
not yet penetrated your thick
skull... Stop bothering me!

-White
If you try my patience
further, I fear a nasty
accident may occur.

-White
Do I make myself clear?

-Phoenix
(Transparent...)

***Talk about "Miss May"********************

* Mr. White... see this?
*
* -Phoenix
* It's an article describing

*
* -White
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* He was embezzling secret

*
* -Phoenix
* Then, one day, word got

*
* -Phoenix
* The very next day he took

*
* -White
* And this concerns me how...?
*
* -Phoenix
* I found this article

*
* -White
* Miss Mia...?
*
* -Phoenix
* She had a file filled with
* articles like this.
*
* -Phoenix
* Every one of them was labeled

* *
* * -Phoenix
* * You snooped on him, and found
* * out about the embezzlement.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Then, when you revealed
* * it, he was driven to suicide!
* *
* * -White
* * Mr. Lawyer.
* *
* * -White
* * I know nothing of this.
* *
* * -White
* * And, even in the highly
* * unlikely event that I did
* * do such a thing...
* *
* * -White
* * All I would have done is

September 8, 3:37 PM
Detention Center
Visitor's Room

-Phoenix
I can't believe it's only
been a day since the first
trial.

-Phoenix
My trial begins tomorrow.

-Phoenix
White's going to
set a trap for me.

-Phoenix
And the prosecution will
be in on it, of course.
Edgeworth, included.

-Phoenix
An attorney was assigned to
me by the state, yesterday.

-Phoenix
I refused.
I had an idea.

-Maya
..

-Maya
Wright!

-Maya
Mr. Wright!

-Phoenix
Oh, Maya!

-Phoenix
Great, they let you
out of detention.

-Maya
Just now, yes.
It's all thanks to you!

-Phoenix
Hah. Now I'm afraid we've
switched places.

-Maya
What? You mean, you...?

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

-Phoenix
I explained what had
happened to Maya.

-Phoenix
..

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

-Maya
I don't believe it!

-Maya
How many people does that man
need to destroy before he's
satisfied!? My mother...

-Maya
My sister...

-Maya
And now you!

-Maya
This has gone too far!

Maya
Mr. Wright, please tell me,
is there anything I can do?

-Phoenix
Um... well...

***Defend me in court***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Alright, you can be my
* defense lawyer tomorrow!
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* Leave it to me! I am Mia's
* sister, after all! Lawyership
* runs in our blood!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wasn't it E.S.P. that
* ran in your blood...?)
*
* -Maya
* I'd better run to the
* bookstore and pick up a copy
* of "Law for Rookies."
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Cheer me on in court*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, you could cheer
* for me in court.
*
* -Maya
* Cheer for you?
* You mean... like a
* cheerleader?
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? Um, yeah, like that.
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
* Leave it to me!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* I'd better go get a uniform
* and some pom-poms...!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Help me break out of here****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. Okay, listen up.
* I want you to help me break
* out of here!
*
* -Maya
* You mean... a jail break?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. Tonight's our
* only chance!
*
* -Maya
* Alright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Maya
* Oh, I'd better go get a
* hacksaw while the stores
* are still open.
*
* -Maya
* Oh, oh! And a rope ladder,
* and a getaway car!
* Can you drive?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
W-wait. Wait wait wait.

-Maya
What what what?

-Phoenix
I'm kidding! It was a joke!

-Maya
No way!

-Phoenix
No really, I was kidding.
But thanks. It's good to know
you're on my side.

-Phoenix
(And there really isn't
anything you can do
for me anyway...)

-Maya
But... but I can't just sit
here and do nothing!

-Maya
I've got to give that
man a piece of my mind!

-Phoenix
(Just a piece...?)

-Phoenix
Okay.

-Phoenix
Then, come to the
court tomorrow.

-Maya
O-okay! I'll be there!

-Maya
I'll show them
a thing or two!

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

-Phoenix
It's the beginning of a new
century, yet with crime it's
the same old story.

-Phoenix
In fact, it's gotten worse.
Lengthy court proceedings
are no longer realistic.

-Phoenix
Beginning a few years ago,
a limit of three days was put
on initial court trials.

-Phoenix
Almost all finish in a day.
Most with a guilty verdict.

-Phoenix
I never thought I would
end up in the defendant's
chair myself.

-Phoenix
Tomorrow the true
culprit will appear
as a witness.

-Phoenix
This is it!
It's me or him!

September 9, 9:52 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

-Maya
Well... I guess
this is it!

-Phoenix
Yeah.

-Phoenix
One way or another, this
case gets decided today.

-Maya
Aaa!
Ph-Phoenix! Look!

-Phoenix
(...!)

-Phoenix
(Prosecutor... Edgeworth.)

-Edgeworth
I received a call from the
public prosecutor's office
yesterday.

-Phoenix
?

-Edgeworth
He told me that whatever
Mr. White says today, it will
be the "absolute truth."

-Edgeworth
No matter how you try to
attack his testimony...

-Edgeworth
If I raise an objection,
I have it on good faith that
the judge will listen to me.

-Phoenix
(What, does White have the
judge in his pocket, too!?)

-Phoenix
So... you're saying I'm going
to be guilty. End of story?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
I will do anything to get my
verdict, Mr. Wright. Anything.

-Maya
Why...
Why!?

-Maya
How can you torment an
innocent person like this!?

-Edgeworth
"Innocent"...?

-Edgeworth
How can we know that?

-Edgeworth
The guilty will always lie,
to avoid being found out.

-Edgeworth
There's no way to tell
who is guilty and who
is innocent!

-Edgeworth
All that I can hope to do
is get every defendant
declared "guilty"!

-Edgeworth
So I make that my policy.

-Phoenix
Edgeworth...

-Phoenix
You've changed.

-Maya
Hmm?

-Maya
Phoenix!
You know him!?

-Edgeworth
Don't expect any special
treatment, Phoenix Wright.

-Maya
Ph-Phoenix...?

-Phoenix
Well... court will be opening
for session soon.

-Maya
What? But wait!

-Maya
Your defense attorney isn't
even here yet! He's not...

-Phoenix
I'll be defending myself.

-Maya
Whaaaat!?

-Phoenix
Okay, let's do this.

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

September 9, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1

-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Phoenix Wright.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Judge
Mr. Wright...
Are you sure you're
up to doing this?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.
I will be defending myself.

-Judge
Understood.

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.

-Edgeworth
As the details of the event
are already quite clear to
the court,

-Edgeworth
today we will hear the
testimony of another witness
to the defendant's crime.

-Judge
I see.

-Judge
The prosecution may call
its witness.

-Phoenix
(That went far too smoothly!)

-Phoenix
(Why didn't the judge ask
Edgeworth why his witness
didn't testify before!?)

-Phoenix
(It's like... it's like
he already knows why!)

-Phoenix
(Hmm. If anyone's going to
raise an objection about
this, I suppose it's me...)

***Objection********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Edgeworth, you owe an
* explanation to the court!
*
* -Phoenix
* Why didn't this witness
* testify in the trial against
* Ms. Maya Fey!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hmph.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'm ever so sorry!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mr. White is a busy man,
* and besides...
*
* -Edgeworth
* at the time, I thought that
* Ms. May's opinion was all
* that would be needed.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Again, my sincerest
* apologies to the court.
*
* -Judge
* Excellent, Mr. Edgeworth.
* I appreciate your demeanor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Great. He gets to show
* off and I get nowhere.)

***Let it go********************************

-Edgeworth
I would like to call
Mr. Redd White to the stand!

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

-Edgeworth
Please state your full name.

-White
You wish to know the
title of my personage?

-Edgeworth
Er... your name?

-White
Yes! That is what I said!

-White
Oh dear, do my
locutions confuse?

-Edgeworth
Name!

-Phoenix
(These two are great
together...)

-White
My name is Redd White.
But my friends call me
Blanco Nino.

-White
I am the CEO, or to use a more
common term, the President,
of Bluecorp.

-Edgeworth
Did you know the victim,
Ms. Mia Fey?

-White
That would be a negatory!
No, I did not.

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
You were at the Gatewater
Hotel the night of the
murder?

-White
Correct.

-Edgeworth
And you witnessed the
murder from there?

-White
Ahem. Why tell you what
you already know?

-Judge
Very well, Mr. White. You
may begin your testimony.

-Phoenix
(If I can't rip this guy's
testimony apart, I'm
done for.)

-Phoenix
(Why do I always feel like
it's the end of the world and
I'm the last man standing?)

-White
Ho hoh hoh.

-White
I hope you have made your
peace with God, Mr. Lawyer!

-Phoenix
..!

-Maya
Let him have it, Phoenix!

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-White
Let's see, it was about
9:00, I believe.

(2)
-White
I was quietly perusifying...
er, that's "reading" to you,
some papers by the window.

(3)
-White
Then I heard a bedlam
coming from outside!

(4)
-White
Surprised, I turned to
look at the building
across the way.

(5)
-White
It was then I saw him:
a spiky-haired man attacking
a woman with long hair!

(6)
-White
Needless to say that man was
none other than you,
Mr. Lawyer!

(7)
-White
I called Miss May over
at once. She, too, was
flabbergasted of course.

(8)
-White
The victim, she... she ran
away, but you gave chase!

(9)
-White
Finally there was a
terrible impaction!
Then it was all over...

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
If things occurred as you
testify, then I'm afraid the
defendant is guilty.

-Judge
Very well, defendant... er,
I mean, Mr. Wright.

-Judge
Your cross-examination...

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-White
Let's see, it was about
9:00, I believe.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How do you know what time
  it was?

  -White
  Because I am always
  abso-posi-lutely perfect,
  you know?

  -Phoenix
  No no no, you're not getting
  away with that!

  -White
  You are so mistrusting,
  Mr. Lawyer!

  -White
  So... what was the proper
  term for "secretary" again...?

  -White
  Anyway, Miss May ordered
  room service for 9:00.

  -White
  It happened soon after the
  room service arrived.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm. That's what Miss May
  said, too.)

  ***Press further****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * True, the bellboy who brought
  * the coffee saw Miss May.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * But he testified that he
  * did not see you at the time!
  *
  * -White
  * Ahem. This is your concern?
  *
  * -White
  * Silly Lawyer! Miss May
  * received the coffee outside
  * the room!
  *
  * -White
  * Of course he could not see me.
  * He would need X-ray vision to
  * pull off something like that!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Hmm...)
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Tell us, what were you
  * doing at the time?
  *
  ********************************************

  ***Hold back********************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I don't see anything to gain
  * by attacking him on this
  * point any further.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Okay, what were you
  * doing at the time?
  *
  ********************************************

(2)
-White
I was quietly perusifying...
er, that's "reading" to you,
some papers by the window.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  By window, you mean the one
  directly across from the
  Fey & Co. Law Office?

  -White
  Correct! That is the only
  window, you see.

  -Phoenix
  And there you were
  reading... papers?

  -White
  Correct!

  -White
  The Gatewater is a business-
  man's hotel, and I am a busy
  man who had business to do!

(3)
-White
Then I heard a bedlam
coming from outside!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  A "bedlam"?

  -White
  It must have been when
  you attacked, I assume.

  -Edgeworth
  We see. Continue.

(4)
-White
Surprised, I turned to
look at the building
across the way.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So you were reading your
  papers until you heard
  that sound?

  -White
  But of course. I am
  no snoop, peeping out of
  windows at night.

  -Phoenix
  (No snoop? Yeah, right!
  You've made a career
  out of snooping!)

(5)
-White
It was then I saw him:
a spiky-haired man attacking
a woman with long hair!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  S-spiky-haired!?

(6)
-White
Needless to say that man was
none other than you,
Mr. Lawyer!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What you just said directly
  conflicts with Miss May's
  testimony!

  -Phoenix
  Miss May clearly stated that
  the assailant looked like
  a "girl"!

  -White
  I've always been proud
  of my eyesight, Mr. Lawyer.

  -Phoenix
  Just what is your eyesight?

  -White
  Counting both eyes... 40!

  -Phoenix
  40!? Don't add them together!

  -Judge
  I think the witness is trying
  to say his eyesight is good.

  -Phoenix
  (Hey, whose side is the
  judge on, anyway?)

  -Edgeworth
  And what did you do then?

(7)
-White
I called Miss May over
at once. She, too, was
flabbergasted of course.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What was Miss May doing
  at that time?

  -White
  She had just finished
  watching a soap opera on the
  TV, and was weeping openly.

  -Phoenix
  Did you know she had been
  tapping the Fey office phone?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Irrelevant! That has nothing
  to do with the case at hand.

  -White
  I care not. I will answer the
  lawyer's bold inquiry.

  -White
  Miss May was acting alone
  when she tapped the phone
  of this Fey woman.

  -Phoenix
  You'd make a good politician,
  Mr. White.

  -White
  Ho hoh! After all, I am
  "El Presidente."

  -Judge
  Please continue.

(8)
-White
The victim, she... she ran
away, but you gave chase!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Can you be a little more
  detailed about that?

  -Phoenix
  I think it's worth knowing
  exactly what happened.

  -White
  Of course! Comprende!
  I understand!

  -White
  The victim was attacked,
  by you, and ran to the left.

  -White
  You gave chase, and struck
  her down!

  -Edgeworth
  Are you sure?

  -White
  As you know, I am always
  abso-posi-lutely perfect!

  -Judge
  Perhaps you could change
  your testimony to reflect
  this new detail.

  CHANGE TO 8b

(8b)
-White
The victim ran to the left,
and you gave chase!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure about that?

  -White
  How many times must I say it?

  -White
  I am abso-posi-lutely perfect!
  End of story!

  -Phoenix
  (How many times must
  I hear that?)

  -Maya
  Psst! Phoenix!

  -Maya
  Doesn't something about
  that strike you as a
  little odd?

(9)
-White
Finally there was a
terrible impaction!
Then it was all over...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Um... "impaction"?
  Don't you mean just "impact"?

  -White
  Ridiculosity! I think you need
  to brush up on your language
  skills!

  -Phoenix
  (On second thought, perhaps
  I'd better leave the whole
  language thing alone...)

-Phoenix
(Did Edgeworth "prep" this guy,
too, I wonder?)

-Phoenix
(Anyway, I'd better find
a weakness in there...)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Wait right there!

-Phoenix
Mr. White, you've
dug your own grave!

-White
What is this!?

-Phoenix
You said the victim ran
to the "left."

-Phoenix
But that directly contradicts
Miss May's testimony!

-Phoenix
She clearly stated that the
victim ran "right"!

-White
..!

-White
Oh hoh hoh. It is simple.
You have misheard her.

-Phoenix
I think not.

-Phoenix
Look at the floor plans...

-Phoenix
The killer was here.

-Phoenix
And the victim, here.

-Phoenix
If the victim ran to the
left, as you claim she did...

-Phoenix
She would have been running
directly away from the door!

-Phoenix
She would have been running
into a dead end!

-Phoenix
Don't you find that odd?

-White
!

-White
Very strange...

-White
I did see her run to the
left... I did.

-Maya
Phoenix... look at his face.
I don't think he's lying
about this one.

-Phoenix
True.

-Phoenix
(Maybe he really did see
the victim run left...?)

-Phoenix
(So he did witness the
killing...?)

-Phoenix
(Wait a second!)

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?

-Judge
Miss May says "right," and
Mr. White says "left."

-Judge
Can you explain this
contradiction to the court?

***Mr. White is right***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* As Mr. White testified,
* Mia ran to the left.
*
* -Judge
* But...
* But if that's the case...
*
* -Judge
* Why would she run in the
* opposite direction from
* the door?
*
* -Phoenix
* She did not. She was running
* towards the door, Your Honor.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Bwah!
* Now you're the one making
* a contradiction, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* Not at all.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Miss May is right************************
*
* -Phoenix
* As Miss May has stated, Mia
* ran to the right after she
* was attacked.
*
* -White
* What is this?
* I am not fashioning
* fabrications, I assure you!
*
* -White
* That lady ran to the left!
* I am sure of it!
*
* -Phoenix
* Then there can be
* only one explanation.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Eh...? And that is?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Both are right***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Both witnesses are
* telling the truth.
* (For once...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Hah! I doubt it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Er, rather, that does not
* clear up the contradiction!
*
* -Phoenix
* There is one scenario that
* would explain their
* conflicting accounts.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What!?
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
Obviously, the witness was not
viewing the crime from the
hotel!

-Judge
Mr. Wright! What do you mean?

-Edgeworth
Yes, what do you mean,
he was not "viewing the crime
from the hotel"!?

-Edgeworth
If he was not in the hotel,
where could he have been!?

-Phoenix
In the law offices of
Fey & Co., of course!

-Phoenix
More specifically, he
was standing here!

-Phoenix
(Show the court where
Mr. White was standing!)

***Present location of victim***************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* That's where he was!
*
* -Edgeworth
* M-Mr. Wright!
* We are not fools!
*
* -Edgeworth
* How could he have been
* exactly where the victim
* was standing!?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Oh... oh, right!)
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
* What is the meaning of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry, Your Honor! Sorry!
* Let me try that again...
*
* RETURN TO FLOOR PLANS
*
********************************************

***Present anywhere*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* That's where he was!
*
* -Judge
* Hold it right there,
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* If he was there during
* the very act of murder...
*
* -Judge
* That would make him
* an accomplice!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Impossible!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There was no one other than
* the criminal and victim in
* the room!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There is no evidence, no
* proof to the contrary! None!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry! Er... let me
* try that again!
*
* RETURN TO FLOOR PLANS
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
This is where he was!

-Phoenix
Look!

-Phoenix
When the victim ran for
the door...

-Phoenix
If he was watching from this
point, to him it would appear
that she ran to the "left."

-Edgeworth
Please! This is no time for
jokes in ill taste!

-Edgeworth
That is where the
killer was standing!

-Judge
Order! I will have order!

-Judge
Anyone disturbing the order
of this courtroom will be
held in contempt!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What are you suggesting!?

-White
R-r-rapscallion!!!

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
The postulations of the
defense are a distortion
of the truth, Your Honor!

-Judge
Indeed.
They do seem a bit
far-fetched...

-White
..

-White
Ho hoh hoh!

-White
You provide us with so
much entertainment,
Mr. Lawyer!

-Phoenix
(What now!?
He's... laughing!?)

-White
The hilarity of the moment
made me remember something...

-White
It appears I have been
unclear, and for this,
I apologize.

-White
Mr. Your Honor...

-White
Might I be allowed to
testify once more?

-Judge
Very well, let's hear
your revised testimony.

-Phoenix
(Good luck. You can't fix
a broken testimony, buddy!)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- She Ran to the "Left" --

(1)
-White
Miss May's testimony was
correct... as was mine!

(2)
-White
When you assaulted the girl,
she first ran to the left.

(3)
-White
And then you hit her,
savagely! That is what I saw.

(4)
-White
Next, with the last
of her strength, she
ran to the right.

(5)
-White
You chased her, and delivered
the final blow.

(6)
-White
That is what Miss May saw.

(7)
-White
You see?
You hit her twice!

-White
Don't you remember,
Mr. Lawyer?

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

-Judge
Hmm...
That does seem to make sense.

-Judge
Will you be cross-examining
the witness's testimony?

-Phoenix
You bet I will!
I mean, yes, Your Honor.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- She Ran to the "Left" --

(1)
-White
Miss May's testimony was
correct... as was mine!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What do you mean by that!

  -White
  That is what I am
  about to explain!

  -White
  You Americans, always so
  impatient! It does not
  become you.

  -Phoenix
  (Hey buddy, you're an
  American, too!)

(2)
-White
When you assaulted the girl,
she first ran to the left.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What do you mean "first"?

  -White
  "First"? That is what comes
  before what happens "next."
  You do speak English, right?

  -White
  Please, sit back, relax.
  I will try to use simple
  words for your benefit.

  -White
  First, she ran to the left,
  and then...

(3)
-White
And then you hit her,
savagely! That is what I saw.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  I didn't hit anyone!

  -White
  Now, now, Mr. Wright.
  There is no point hiding
  things from this court.

  -Phoenix
  I'm not hiding anything!

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  The prosecution requests that
  the defense refrain from
  interrupting the testimony!

  -Judge
  Mr. Wright, you have
  been warned.

  -Phoenix
  (Why's he mad at me!?)

(4)
-White
Next, with the last
of her strength, she
ran to the right.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What do you mean "next"!?

  -White
  "Next" is what comes
  after "first."

  -Phoenix
  I know that!

  -White
  Then that is all you need
  to know, Mr. Lawyer.

  -White
  As I said, she turned and
  made a desperate dash to
  the right.

(5)
-White
You chased her, and delivered
the final blow.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Stop saying it was me!

  -White
  But, it was you.

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Mr. Wright! If you claim
  that it was NOT you, then
  show us proof!

  -Phoenix
  (Argh! Can I do nothing
  right? Nothing!?)

  -White
  May I continue?

(6)
-White
That is what Miss May saw.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So each of you saw
  different parts...?

  -White
  Abso-posi-lutely!
  That's right, of course!

  -Phoenix
  (Where did he pick up
  that annoying phrase...?)

  -White
  Anyway, moving along!

(7)
-White
You see?
You hit her twice!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So were you watching
  both times?

  -White
  I suppose I was.

  -White
  And please excuse me for not
  testifying to this sooner!

-Maya
What do you think Phoenix?

-Phoenix
I think we've got him
right where we want him!
He slipped!

-Phoenix
Let him laugh for now.
I'll soon wipe that smile
off his face!

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Mr. White!

-Phoenix
The victim died from
a "single" blow!

-White
..!

-Phoenix
What do you have
to say to that?

-White
Er... Erp!

-Phoenix
(Now's my chance to
hit him where it counts!)

-Phoenix
Mr. White. Wasn't it you who
told this court you were
"abso-posi-lutely perfect"?

-White
Mmph.

-White
I will refrain from using
this phrase from now on.

-Phoenix
Your Honor, if you could ask
the witness for a new
testimony...

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
The witness is obviously
confused, Your Honor!

-Edgeworth
I would like to request
a 10 minute break!

-Judge
Yes... yes, quite.

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
The witness is confused
because he's lying!

-Phoenix
I emphatically request that
there be no break, Your Honor!

(Yeah! We want justice...!)

(Don't let him get away!)

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
If the witness would care to
revise his testimony...

-Phoenix
(The crowd's on my side!
No slipping out of this
now, White!)

-Judge
Mr. White?

-White
O... okay...

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Two Accounts --

(1)
-White
Umm, well, see--I looked at
the other window when I heard
that thing fall.

(2)
-White
Then, the next moment, I saw
Miss Mia run to the left!

(3)
-White
The killer, you, attacked
her... but she dodged.

-White
Umm... and then...

(4)
-White
She turned, and ran
for the door!

(5)
-White
Then you did her in with
a single blow! Thwap!

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

-Judge
Hmm. "Thwap" indeed.

-Judge
Very well, you may begin
the cross-examination.

-White
Mr. Your Honor...

-White
My stomach, you see,
it is hurting...

-Phoenix
Deal with it.

-Phoenix
This is almost over.

-White
..!

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Two Accounts --

(1)
-White
Umm, well, see--I looked at
the other window when I heard
that thing fall.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You heard "that thing fall"?
  What exactly was "that thing"?

  -White
  Huh? Oh... oh, that?
  Umm... the glass light stand!

  -Phoenix
  (Right... the one that had
  fallen over at the scene.)

  -Maya
  Phoenix!

  -Maya
  Doesn't something about
  that strike you as odd?

  ***Yeah, very odd***************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Yeah, that is odd.
  * I'll press further.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Mr. White
  *
  * -White
  * Huh? W-what?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * You're saying you saw
  * the glass light stand?
  *
  * -White
  * Y-yes.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Then change your testimony
  * to reflect that!
  *
  * -White
  * S-sorry.
  * My bad...
  *
  * -Judge
  * The witness will revise
  * his testimony.
  *
  * -White
  * Okay okay. Of course.
  *
  * CHANGE TO 1b
  *
  ********************************************

  ***Nope*************************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Huh?
  * No, not really.
  *
  * -Judge
  * Please continue your
  * cross-examination.
  *
  ********************************************

(1b)
-White
A light stand was lying on
the floor when I looked.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The "glass stand was lying
  on the floor"? That's the
  first I've heard of this.

  -Phoenix
  Why didn't you tell us
  about the stand before?

  -White
  W-why? Me?

  -White
  W-well... I was instructed
  not to... wait!

  -White
  One moment!
  Give me a minute to gather
  my thoughts.

  -White
  I am so... so confused.

  -Phoenix
  (White's falling apart.)

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Your Honor! Please, I ask that
  you do not allow the witness
  to be badgered any further!

  -Judge
  M-Mr. Wright.

  -Judge
  Please refrain from badgering
  the witness...

  -Phoenix
  Yes, Your Honor.
  (Edgeworth is on the ropes!)

  -Judge
  Very well. The witness
  may continue his account.

(2)
-White
Then, the next moment, I saw
Miss Mia run to the left!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Miss Mia"...?

  -Phoenix
  Mr. White, did you know
  the victim personally?

  -White
  No no no, triple no!
  How would I? How could I!

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  I see nothing odd about
  the witness knowing
  the name of the victim.

  -Edgeworth
  Mr. Wright! I will not have
  you harrying the witness!

  -Phoenix
  (You're looking a little
  flustered, Edgeworth!)

(3)
-White
The killer, you, attacked
her... but she dodged.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Now before, you said that she
  was hit before she ran.

  -White
  Y-yes, I must have
  been confused.

  -White
  But don't worry!
  We all know what happened now.

(4)
-White
She turned, and ran
for the door!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What did you do then?

  -White
  I gave chase, of course!

  -White
  ...!

  -White
  No! No! Not me.
  Th-the killer, I mean!
  He gave chase!

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Mr. White, please try

  -Edgeworth
  Mr. Wright here is only trying
  to fluster you with baseless
  accusations!

  -White
  Oh... oh right. Thank you,
  Miles.

(5)
-White
Then you did her in with
a single blow! Thwap!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Thwap"...?

  -Phoenix
  That doesn't sound like the
  "savage" attack from your
  earlier testimony...

  -White
  Ho! Hoh hoh! Yes, well,
  I am a man of peace, you see.

-Maya
Phoenix!

-Maya
He's getting a lot
less talkative.

-Phoenix
He's probably afraid I'll
catch him on something!

-Phoenix
(But it won't be easy!)

*OBJECTION!*

Mr. White.

-Phoenix
Look at this!

-Judge
These are the floor plans to
the scene of the murder, yes?

-Phoenix
Correct, Your Honor.
Now, look...

-Phoenix
If you were to look through
the window at the office...

-Phoenix
This is the area you
would be able to see!

Phoenix
Here!

-Phoenix
Well...?

-Phoenix
Note that the stand is not
within the visible area!

-Phoenix
Well, Mr. White!

-Phoenix
What do you have to
say to that!?

-White
Er... erp!

-White
Ri... dicu... losity...

-Phoenix
Mr. White.

-Phoenix
If you were in the Gatewater
hotel as you claim,

-Phoenix
you could not have seen the
stand before it fell over!

-Phoenix
In fact, you wouldn't have
been able to see it after
it fell, either!

-Phoenix
There's no way you could have
recognized the broken shards
as a glass light stand!

-Phoenix
So, when did you see
the stand, Mr. White?

-Phoenix
It must have been the
moment that it fell!

-Phoenix
And the only place you could
have seen that from... is
inside the Fey Law Offices!

-Phoenix
In other words, you were
at the scene of the crime,
when the murder took place!

-White
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

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

-Judge
Mr... White?

-White
..

-Phoenix
Mr. White.

-White
..

-Phoenix
You did it, didn't you?

-White
..

-White
Mr. Your Honor.

-White
I... I...
Miss Mia...

-White
..

-Phoenix
(Heh. Looks like we're about
to get our verdict!)

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
That's far enough,
Phoenix Wright!

-Phoenix
W-what!?
(Urk! I forgot about
Edgeworth!)

-Edgeworth
Mr. White...

-White
..

-Edgeworth
I think the time has come.

-Edgeworth
Shouldn't you confess
your crime now, hmm?

-White
W... what?

-Edgeworth
I said, you should confess
your crime.

-Edgeworth
Ergo,

-Edgeworth
confess that you placed
the wiretap!

-Phoenix
The w-wiretap!?

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth! Explain to the
court what you mean by this!

-Edgeworth
Distinguished members of
of the court...

-Edgeworth
Mr. White is slightly
confused.

-Edgeworth
Allow me to explain.

-Phoenix
(I really don't like the
way this is headed...)

-Edgeworth
As you know, Mr. White is
the CEO of Bluecorp.

-Edgeworth
He ordered his secretary,
Miss April May, to tap the
law offices of Ms. Fey.

-Judge
What does that have to do...?

-Edgeworth
Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
The question is: when was the
wiretap placed in the office,
and by who?

-Phoenix
No! You wouldn't!

-Edgeworth
Mr. White.

-Edgeworth
In order to place the
wiretap, you entered
Ms. Fey's office.

-Edgeworth
Am I correct...?

-White
..

-White
!

-White
C-correct! You are
most correct, Miles!

-Phoenix
Give me a break!

-White
Yes... in order to place the
wiretap, I breached the
Fey & Co. Law Offices!

-White
That is when I saw that
accursed light stand!

-Judge
Now I'm confused. Please
explain to the court what
all this means, Mr. Edgeworth!

-Edgeworth
Gladly, Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
Mr. Phoenix Wright has made
his position quite clear.

-Edgeworth
He has determined that
Mr. White knew the glass
stand was in the office.

-Edgeworth
He has shown that there was
only one time Mr. White
could have seen the stand:

-Edgeworth
At the very moment of
the murder!

-Edgeworth
Thus, Mr. Wright would like
you to believe that Mr. White
was the murderer!

-Judge
I see.

-Edgeworth
However!

-Edgeworth
It is a fact that Mr. White
had been to that office well
before the murder took place!

-Edgeworth
He went to place the wiretap!

-Edgeworth
He could have seen the
glass light stand then.

-Edgeworth
Ergo, Mr. Phoenix Wright's
theory is revealed for the
baseless conjecture it is!

-Judge
Mr. White!

-Judge
You will testify to the
court about this wiretap!

-White
Ahem.
Leave it to me!

-Phoenix
(I... I feel faint.)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Wiretapping --

(1)
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.

(2)
-White
I had entered the
Fey & Co. Law Offices.

(3)
-White
Of course, I had done so
to place the wiretap.

(4)
-White
That is when I saw this
glass light stand.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
So, you saw the stand
before the night of
the incident...

-Judge
And this is how you were able
to identify what had fallen
over. By the sound?

-White
Correct!
That is right.

-Judge
I see.
Very well, Mr. Wright, you
may cross-examine.

-Phoenix
(Gah! What am I supposed
to do now...!?)

-Maya
Good luck, Phoenix...

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Wiretapping --

(1)
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  D-do you have proof!?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Miss April May knew the
  details of Ms. Fey's
  phone conversation!

  -Edgeworth
  This proves that the wiretap
  was placed before the murder!

  -Phoenix
  Huh... right.

(2)
-White
I had entered the
Fey & Co. Law Offices.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Was it really you that
  went into the office?

  -Phoenix
  Or was it Miss May?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Unidentified fingerprints
  several days old were found
  in the Fey & Co. Law Offices.

  -Edgeworth
  Those were obviously
  Mr. White's.

  -Phoenix
  (And if I know Edgeworth, he's
  already run a check on those
  prints...)

  -Edgeworth
  Now, Mr. White. Tell us why
  you went to the Fey & Co.
  Law Offices.

(3)
-White
Of course, I had done so
to place the wiretap.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why did you tap Mia's
  phone!?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  That has no bearing on
  the current case, Your Honor.

  -White
  Bluecorp is a detective
  agency of sorts.

  -White
  We have a responsibility to
  protect client
  confidentiality!

(4)
-White
That is when I saw this
glass light stand.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why did you notice something
  as innocuous as a light
  stand!?

  -White
  The light stand was made
  entirely out of glass.

  -White
  It was quite stylish, so
  I guess it made a lasting
  impression on me.

  -White
  Such a beautacious thing
  deserves attention,
  does it not?

  -White
  That is all.

-Phoenix
(Dammit! There's nothing
there for me to press him on!)

-Phoenix
(Oh well... maybe he's rattled
enough that I can bluff
something out of him!)

CONTINUE AFTER PRESSING FOR A SHORT WHILE

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

-Phoenix
(Uh oh! Don't tell me
I've run out of ammo!)

-Edgeworth
Tsk tsk.
I'm afraid that's as
far as you go, Mr. Wright.

-Edgeworth
The time has come for you
to admit your defeat!

-Edgeworth
You fought... honorably.

-Phoenix
(No more...)

-Phoenix
(I can't take this anymore...)

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Judge
Are you giving up?

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Y-yes, Your Honor.

-???
(Phoenix!)

-Phoenix
..?

-???
(Phoenix! Over here!)

-Phoenix
(I know that voice!)

-Phoenix
(...)

-Phoenix
(M-Mia!?)

-Mia
Never give up, Phoenix!

-Phoenix
..!!!!

-Phoenix
M-M-Mia...!

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

-Phoenix
Where...
Where am I?

-Phoenix
The waiting lobby...?

-Phoenix
What happened?

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Oh, right...

-Phoenix
I lost the trial.

-Phoenix
I was... hallucinating.

-Phoenix
..

-Mia
Ah, you're finally awake.

-Phoenix
Gak!

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

-Mia
H-hey!
Phoenix!

-Mia
..

-Mia
"Gak"? That's no way
to greet an old friend!

-Mia
Phoenix, I want you
to look at me.

-Phoenix
Y-You're...

-Phoenix
M-Maya...?

-Mia
Didn't you know the Fey
women have strong psychic
powers...?

-Mia
When you accepted your
defeat in court...

-Mia
It appears that was enough
of a shock to awaken
Maya's true powers.

-Phoenix
So... Maya is channeling
you, Mia?

-Mia
That's right. I am Maya,
but I'm also Mia.

-Mia
Now, I want you to listen
to me, Phoenix.

-Mia
Maya never gave up.
You can't either!

-Mia
That's what I came here
to tell you.

-Phoenix
..!

-Phoenix
B-but!

-Mia
We don't have much time,
Phoenix. Now listen.

-Mia
You've already won.

-Phoenix
Huh...?

-Mia
You have that Receipt in
the court record, right?

-Phoenix
Um... oh, yeah! The one you
wrote "Maya" on...?

-Mia
Phoenix! White wrote that,
not me!

-Phoenix
So... so what do I do with it?

-Mia
Look at the front of
the receipt!

-Phoenix
The... front?

-Phoenix
(It's a regular receipt...)

-Phoenix
(Looks like it's from a
famous department store.)

-Phoenix
("$1,000.00"... wow, big
spender!)

-Phoenix
("Item"...
"glass light stand"...!)

-Phoenix
("Date of purchase"...
"September 4"...)

-Phoenix
..!

-Phoenix
September 4!

-Mia
That's right, Phoenix.

-Mia
I bought that stand the
day before I was killed!

-Phoenix
Whoa!

-Mia
Now, what did Mr. White
say in his testimony?

-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.

-Phoenix
He said he saw the stand
the week before the murder!

-Mia
There you go!

-Mia
I think the court is
about to reconvene!

-Mia
Go do it, Phoenix!
You know you're innocent,
now you just have to prove it!

-Phoenix
Right!

Receipt updated in
the Court Record.

September 9, 1:16 PM
District Court
Courtroom No. 1

-Judge
The court will now reconvene
for the trial of Mr. Phoenix
Wright.

-Judge
Is the defendant... rather,
are you alright, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes.
Sorry, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
I'm fine now.

-Judge
Then, let's start where
we left off.

-Edgeworth
Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
There is nothing to
go back to!

-Edgeworth
The cross-examination of
Mr. White is finished!

-Edgeworth
All that is required now is
for you to pass judgment on
the defendant Phoenix Wright!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Please, give me
one more chance.

-Phoenix
I promise you, this is the
last time I'll ask you!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
But, as Mr. Edgeworth has
noted, the trial is more or
less finished.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, do you have an
opinion on this matter?

-Edgeworth
I say... let us give
Mr. Phoenix Wright his
"last chance."

-Judge
Very well!

-Judge
You may begin your
cross-examination.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Wiretapping --

(1)
-White
It was the beginning of
September... the week
before the murder.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Do you have proof!?

  -Edgeworth
  Miss April May knew the
  details of Ms. Fey's

to place the wiretap.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why did you tap Mia's
  phone!?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  This has no bearing on
  the current case, Your Honor.

  -Judge
  Objection sustained.
  Mr. Wright...

  -Judge
  I don't see how asking the
  same questions again will
  make any difference.

  -Phoenix
  (Right! I have to show him the
  evidence Mia gave me!)

(4)
-White
That is when I saw this
glass light stand.

  -Phoenix

-Phoenix
(Now I've just got to show
him the proof Mia gave me!)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Look closely at this.

-Phoenix
See the word "Maya" written
in blood...?

-Edgeworth
Bwah hah!
You're grasping!

-Phoenix
I think not. Look at the
other side of the receipt.

-Edgeworth
Th-the other side?

-Phoenix
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
Would you tell the court
what is written on the other
side of that receipt?

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Well!

-Judge
A "glass light stand"!

-Judge
And the date of purchase...

-Judge
Why, that's the day
before the murder!

-Phoenix
You see!

-Phoenix
Mr. White.

-Phoenix
When you allegedly entered
Fey & Co. Law Offices at the
beginning of September...

-Phoenix
The stand could not
have been there!

-White
Kwaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa


-White
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaahh!?

-Phoenix
Well, Mr. White?

-Phoenix
Can't get out of this
one, can you?

-White
No...
It's impossachievable...

-Phoenix
(Uh oh... he's losing it.)

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Well, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
I understand there must be
quite a bit of PRESSURE
on you.

-Phoenix
But I think you'll agree you
can't judge me "guilty" under
these circumstances.

-Judge
!

-Judge
.....

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Then, that is all for
the trial of...

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Not so fast, Phoenix Wright!

-Phoenix
Eh?

-Phoenix
(What! No way he can worm
his way out of this one!)

-Phoenix
(Oh wait... I forgot.
It's Edgeworth.)

-Edgeworth
There is a certain thread
of logic to the defendant's
claims.

-Edgeworth
However!

-Edgeworth
There is no concrete proof
that Phoenix Wright is
innocent!

-Phoenix
(...!)

-Edgeworth
Ergo!

-Edgeworth
I would like to request one
more day before Phoenix Wright
is granted his freedom.

-Edgeworth
I need time to make one more
inquiry into this matter.

-Judge
Hmm...!

-Phoenix
(Another inquiry...!?)

-Phoenix
(This isn't going to be
another one of those
"updated autopsy reports"!)

-Phoenix
(This guy just makes up
evidence as he pleases!)

-Phoenix
(This is bad...!)

something!)

Mr. Your Honor!

May I go home?

Of course.
Thank you for your time.

If I may...?

That's when it happened.

-White
S-s-stop! Desist! Halt!

-White
P-please, stop!
Make him stop!

Or else this list will

Well, I see no reason to

Mr. Wright?

Yes, Your Honor.

You've done it again!
That was quite a spirited
defense!

Yes, Your Honor.

be saying this again...

-Mia
But, congratulations!
You're lucky I was
born a Fey!

-Phoenix
I'm lucky I had both
you and Maya on my side.

-Mia
I'm glad you made it.

-Mia
..

-Mia
Thank you, Phoenix.

-Mia
You risked a lot to help
me... and Maya.

-Mia
I won't forget it as
long as I live!

-Phoenix
(As long as you "live"...?)

-Mia
..

-Mia
My time here's running out.

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Mia
Maya's powers are still weak.

-Mia
I can't stay here that long.

-Phoenix
W-what!? No!
There's still so much to say!

-Mia
Don't worry.

-Mia
I'm sure we'll meet again.

-Phoenix
Ch-Chief!

-Mia
Hee hee.
I'm not the "Chief" anymore.

-Mia
Phoenix?

-Mia
Can you come to the office
tonight... say, 9:00?

-Phoenix
The office...?

-Mia
I'll see you later.

-Phoenix
Chief... Mia!

Fey & Co. Law Offices

-Phoenix
(Being here, it's hard not
to think about that night...)

-???
You came!

-Phoenix
Mia...

-???
I was kinda worried
you might not.

-Phoenix
Huh? Of course I came...

-???
Well then!

-???
I'm pretty hungry.
How about a burger?

-Phoenix
M-Mia...?

-???
..

-???
Bwah hah hah!
You should see your face!

-Phoenix
Mia!

-Maya
What are you talking about?
It's me! Maya!

-Phoenix
M-Maya...?

-Maya
What, did I look like
my sister?

-Phoenix
(Look like... you WERE her!)

-Maya
Hmm! I might be able to
use that.

-Maya
"Oh, Phoenix! Go to the store
and buy me lunch, would you?"

-Phoenix
Uhm, Maya...
Why are you here?

-Maya
Because of this!

-Maya
See? Mia wrote me a letter.

-Maya
"Take care of Phoenix for me."

-Phoenix
Take care of... huh?

-Maya
She means the office!
This office!

-Maya
Someone has to help with the
new Wright & Co. Law Offices,
right?

-Maya
And who better but me!
Maya Fey, reporting for duty!

-Maya
Wait, no, on second thought,
let's make this casual!

-Maya
Yo, Nick! Maya here, ready
to get down to business!

-Maya
You... don't mind me calling
you "Nick," do you?

-Maya
It's a great name! Mia said
that's what your friend
Larry calls you.

-Phoenix
("Nick"...?)

-Maya
You know what this means?
We're partners!

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

-Phoenix
You know, when I think
about it...

-Phoenix
It is Maya's fault
I'm here now.

-Phoenix
But...

-Phoenix
If it wasn't for her
I'd probably be in jail!

-Phoenix
"Wright & Co. Law Offices."
It's got a good ring to it.

-Phoenix
Yeah!

-Phoenix
Thanks, Maya!

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

-Mia
(Good luck, Phoenix.)

-Mia
(I'll always be here...
watching.)

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

-Maya
Right! Okay, Nick, let's do it!

-Phoenix
Huh? Do... what?

-Maya
Burgers, dummy! Burgers!

-Maya
There's a great burger
joint just down the street.

-Maya
C'mon! Time's a wasting!

-Phoenix
O-okay! Wait up!

Grrah!
You have disgraced me for the
last time, Steel Samurai!

The pale moon in the sky
cries for your blood!

The moon? No, it is you who
should gaze upon the moon...

For it will be the last moon
you ever see!

See you in hell,
Evil Magistrate!

Whoooooooaaaaaaa!

Grrrrrraaaaaaaah!

The warriors' swords gleam
and strike in the moonlight!

One has fallen... but who?
Only the moon knows!

Don't miss next week's
exciting episode:
"The Dark Messenger Returns!"

October 14, 5:31 PM
Wright & Co. Law Offices

-Maya
That rocked!

-Maya
"See you in Hell,
Evil Magistrate!!!"

-Phoenix
Whoa!
Stop waving that broom
around!

-Maya
Oh, Nick!
I didn't know you were here!

-Phoenix
Of course I'm here!

-Phoenix
What was that surreal
show you were watching?

-Maya
What!?
Nick, you mean, you don't
know the Steel Samurai!?

-Maya
He's only the most popular
TV hero for young people!

-Phoenix
Young...?
Like, how young?

-Maya
Umm... 10 years old?

-Phoenix
Then what the heck are YOU
doing getting all excited!?

-Maya
Hey! I'm only 17!

-Maya
That's seven-"teen." See?
I'm a teen! Not like you,
Nick.

-Phoenix
Hey! Don't talk to me like I'm
your grandpa or something.
I'm only 24 myself.

-Maya
Then watch it with me!
He's really cool!
And... it's really popular!

-Maya
When they asked grade school
kids what they wanted to be,
"Steel Samurai" was no.1!

-Phoenix
I really worry about kids
these days.

-Maya
Gramps!

-Maya
Well, the Steel Samurai's
over. I guess it's time to
close up the office.

-Phoenix
I guess...

-Phoenix
Wish we had some clients!

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

-Phoenix
A month has passed
since my trial.

-Phoenix
Mia's murder was the talk of
the town for some time...

-Phoenix
But no one paid any attention
to the Wright & Co. Law
Offices...

-Phoenix
How am I going to
pay the rent this month?

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

-Maya
It'll be okay.

-Maya
I'm sure some big client
is just around the corner!

-Phoenix
Hmph.

Maya? What?
It's still early...

-Maya
I-it's the Steel Samurai!
The Steel Samurai got
arrested!

-Phoenix
Huh? You mean the
guy on that show?

-Maya
Yes!

-Maya
They're saying that the
Steel Samurai killed
a villain!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Umm...

-Phoenix
Isn't that what he's
supposed to do?

-Maya
Yeah, on TV!

-Phoenix
Yeah, on TV.

-Maya
No! I mean, he actually
did it! In real life!

-Maya
He skewered a villain
with his Samurai Spear!

-Phoenix
I have absolutely no idea
what you're talking about.

-Maya
Just come to the office,
quick! Please, Nick!

October 16, 9:22 AM
Wright & Co. Law Offices

-Phoenix
(Maya's here...
watching television.)

-TV
Now for the morning news.

-TV
The actor Will Powers
was arrested yesterday.
Powers plays the lead role

-TV
in the popular kid's show
"The Steel Samurai: Warrior
of Neo Olde Tokyo."

-TV
He was arrested on
suspicion of murder.

-TV
The victim was Jack Hammer,
who plays the villain known
as the "Evil Magistrate."

-TV
His body was found still
inside the Evil Magistrate
costume.

-TV
The "Samurai Spear" was also
found stuck through the body.

-TV
Police believe this was the
murder weapon, and are
investigating further.

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
This has to be a joke.

-Maya
No, no, no! It's a nightmare!
The Steel Samurai is over!
The world is over!

Brrrrring...
Brrrrring...

W-what!?

-Maya
Yes... yes, of course!
We'll be right there!

-Cellular

-Maya
Let's go, Nick!

-Phoenix
Go? Go where?

-Maya
They have the Steel Samurai
down in detention!

-Phoenix
So what!?

-Maya
So, I've decided this
will be our first case!

-Phoenix
What's wrong, Maya?
It's him! In the flesh!

-Maya
Umm...
Is that guy really him?

-Phoenix
Whaddya mean "that guy"?
Of course it's him!

-Phoenix
Will Powers, our client!
That's him.

-Maya
Um, maybe I shouldn't
be saying this...

-Maya
But he definitely did it.
Murder. At least once.
Maybe twice.

-Phoenix
Whoa whoa whoa!
What are you saying!?

-Will
Umm...

-Maya
Y-yes!?

-Will
Something wrong...?

-Maya
N-no! No!

-Phoenix
(This is getting off to a
great start.)

-Will
I know, I know. You're
disappointed, aren't you?

-Maya
D-disappointed!? Oh, no.
Oh no.

-Will
No, it's okay.
This is the real me.

-Will
When I got the part of
the Steel Samurai, with
that mask...

-Will
I decided I would never show
my face in public until the
job was over.

-Will
It's the kids, you know.
I didn't want to wreck
their dreams.

-Maya
Oh...

-Will
I guess it didn't matter.

-Will
So much for dreams.

-Will
I wonder what they think
of the Steel Samurai now.

-Will
*sniff*
Uwaaah!

-Maya
Nick!

-Phoenix
What?

-Maya
He's a good guy!
I mean, he's good!

-Phoenix
Yeah.

-Maya
He didn't do it!

***Talk about "What happened"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe you could start by
* telling us what happened.
*
* -Will
* Y-yes. Of course.
*
* -Will
* It seems like it was only
* yesterday. Actually, it was
* only yesterday.
*
* -Will
* The cast had come down
* to Global Studios for a
* run-through.
*
* -Will
* We went through a few
* action sequences at 10:00
* that morning.
*
* -Will
* There was a rehearsal
* scheduled for 5:00 in the
* afternoon.
*
* -Will
* But when 5:00 came around,
* and the staff gathered at
* the studio...
*
* -Will
* The Evil Magistrate was
* found lying in a crumpled
* heap near the set.
*
* -Will
* They took off his mask...
*
* -Will
* And discovered that it was
* Jack Hammer... dead!
*
* -Will
* He had been expertly skewered
* with the Samurai Spear.
*
-Phoenix
* The "Samurai Spear"...?
*
* -Will
* Yes, it's a long spear
* that I... that the Steel
* Samurai uses as a weapon.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The Steel Samurai"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe you could explain to me
* just what "the Steel Samurai"
* is.
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
* How could you say such a
* thing?
*
* -Maya
* I-I'm sorry, sir, I apologize
* for my partner!
*
* -Maya
* He's new to this, and a bit
* OUT OF TOUCH with the world.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey! Who's "new to this"!?
*
* -Will
* No, it's alright, really.
*
* -Will
* The Steel Samurai is the lead
* character in a popular kid's
* show.
*
* -Will
* He walks the streets of
* Neo Olde Tokyo...
*
* -Will
* Fighting battle after battle
* against the Evil Magistrate
* and his minions.
*
* -Will
* Of course, he never really
* defeats the Evil Magistrate.
*
* -Will
* Although...
*
* -Will
* I guess he did defeat
* him this time...
*
* -Will
* *sniff*
* Uwaaah!
*
* -Phoenix
* I-I see.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Neo Olde Tokyo...?
* Who comes up with
* these names!?)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Powers's alibi"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Now, where were you on
* the day of the murder?
*
* -Will
* Well, that morning I came
* to studios at 9:00.
*
* -Will
* We worked through some
* action scenes until noon.
*
* -Will
* Rehearsal was to begin at
* 5:00, but I was a little
* tired.
*
* -Will
* So after lunch, I took a nap
* in my dressing room.
*
* -Will
* When I woke up, it was
* after 5:00! I was late
* for the rehearsal!
*
* -Will
* I hurried to the studio...
* and found everyone looking
* shocked.
*
* -Will
* They arrested me on the
* spot, and brought me here.
*
* -Phoenix
* (So he was sleeping the entire
* afternoon of the murder?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Some action hero!)
*
* -Will
* What will the kids think?
* *sniff*
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -Phoenix
* I think I should probably
* check out the scene of
* the murder...
*
* -Will
* Right... Global Studios.
* I'll draw you a map.
*
* -Maya
* Wow! Nick! Let's go!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'm willing to bet 10 bucks
* she asks for autographs.)

***Talk about "What to do"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, what should we do?

* Sitting around here won't get
* us anywhere, that's for sure.
*
* -Maya
* The studio! We should go
* to the studio! I'm sure we

Wow! So this is where they

-Maya
Awesome!
Aren't you excited!?

-Oldbag
Hey! You there!

-Oldbag
You want in, you gotta
go through me!

-Maya
O-oh... s-sorry!

-Maya
W-we're, um, lawyers.

-Oldbag
Oh yeah? Well that's great.
I'm security!

-Oldbag
And it's my job to make
sure that gawkers like
you stay OUT.

-Maya
G-gawkers?

-Oldbag
Gawkers! Sightseers!
Tourists!!!

-Oldbag
I know the type. You heard
about the incident and came
to snoop around.

-Oldbag
Youths today! Something
horrible happens and all you
can think of is sightseeing.

-Oldbag
Wasting your time
at a place like this.

-Oldbag
Don't you have jobs
you should be doing?

-Oldbag
Or do lawyers not work like
the rest of us? Maybe I should
become a lawyer too. Sounds

-Oldbag
like a life of ease to me no
work just loafing around all
day as you please. Well when

-Oldbag
I was young things were a mite
different, mind you we didn't
prance around in strange

-Oldbag
hippie clothes. What are the
youths coming to these days my
own son hasn't called in...

-Maya
Umm... Nick?

-Maya
Will I grow up to be like
her? Please say "no."

-Phoenix
I dunno! It's possible.

-Oldbag
Hey!

-Oldbag
Listen when you're being
spoken to! Youths today!

* (Absolutely not!)

***Talk about "The studios"*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* So, what do you do here
* at the studios?
*
* -Oldbag
* At Global Studios, we make
* children's dreams come true!
*
* -Oldbag
* In fact, in my
* younger days...
*
* -Maya
* No! You were a star!?
*
* -Oldbag
* Only a little twinkle
* between the stars here,
* I'm afraid, dearie.
*
* -Maya
* Wo... wow.
*
* -Oldbag
* This place has really
* gone downhill, you know?
*
* -Oldbag
* But 10 years ago, now that
* was a studio of dreams!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer was a big star back
* then too, he was...
*
* -Phoenix
* Hammer...?
*
* -Oldbag
* The victim, dummy!
*
* -Oldbag
* The Evil Magistrate!
*
* -Oldbag
* He's been reduced to playing
* villains now. Not exactly the
* best material to work with...
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Will Powers"*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Can you tell me about
* Mr. Will Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* He's not a bad kid, but
* don't be fooled by his mask!
*
* -Oldbag
* You wouldn't want him on
* the silver screen without
* it, believe me.
*
* -Oldbag
* Little old ladies watching
* would lose their lunch!
*
* -Oldbag
* That's probably why he thought
* that the Steel Samurai was
* his "big chance."
*
* -Oldbag
* No one thought he was
* capable of doing what he
* did to poor Jack Hammer...
*
* -Maya
* We don't know for certain
* that Will Powers is guilty!
*
* -Oldbag
* Powers? Of course he's guilty!
*
* -Oldbag
* How do I know?
* I know everything!
* That's my job.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* What kind of person
* was Jack Hammer?
*
* -Oldbag
* What "kind of person"?
* Oh... if you only knew!
*
* -Oldbag
* Jack Hammer will live on
* in many hearts as the
* ultimate action hero!
*
* -Oldbag
* He was simply dashing
* in the Dynamite Samurai
* series!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Should I have heard
* of that...?)
*
* -Oldbag
* But... there was an accident
* during filming five years ago.
*
* -Oldbag
* He got an unlucky break
* after that.
*
* -Oldbag
* Reduced to playing the villain
* on a children's program!
*
* -Oldbag
* What's more, I heard they
* were paying him peanuts.
* It's enough to make you cry.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -Phoenix
* Why are you so certain
* Mr. Powers is the killer?
*
* -Oldbag
* I was standing right
* here yesterday, I was.
*
* -Oldbag
* I was here from 1:00 in
* the afternoon, to 5:00,
* when they found the body!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now the studio where the
* murder took place is to
* the left here.
*
* -Oldbag
* So if you want to go to
* the studio, you have to
* pass by me!
*
* -Oldbag
* Only one person went by here
* between 1:00 and 2:30, when
* the murder took place!
*
* -Phoenix
* And... that person
* was Mr. Powers?
*
* -Oldbag
* Yes.
* I saw him!
*
* -Phoenix
* But Mr. Powers says he was
* sleeping in his dressing room.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, I'm sure he would
* say that. He's no fool!
*
* -Oldbag
* But he was the only
* one that walked by.
*
* -Oldbag
* He's the killer, you can
* bet your biscuits on it.
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Oldbag
Isn't it about time for
you to be heading home?

-Oldbag
There's nothing to see here.
Move along.

-Phoenix
Um, actually, we're here
at Mr. Powers's request.

-Oldbag
Hmph! I thought you were
suspicious lookin'!

-Oldbag
Show me a "letter of
request."

-Oldbag
And maybe I'll just
let you in.

-Maya
This lady here thinks
she owns this place,
obviously.

MOVE TO: Detention Center

-Will
Hello!
How was the studio?

-Will
They all think I did it,
don't they?

-Maya
N-no, not at all!
Isn't that right, Nick?

-Phoenix
Right, not at all.
At worst, you're a suspect.

-Will

***Talk about "Your alibi"******************
*

* Mr. Powers, you aren't
* hiding anything from

*
* -Will
* Yes.
* Like a baby.

* -Phoenix
* But the security lady

*
* -Phoenix

*
* -Will
* W-what!? That's not possible!
*
* -Will
* I... I really don't know

* I promise!
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Powers, if you want me

* I'm new to this lawyer

*
* -Will
* I know... I-I'm sorry.

*
* -Will
* But, I swear to you on my

* Oh, the security lady?

* -Maya
* She's terrible! She called me

*
* -Will
* Y-yes... actually, she's said
* the same thing to me before.
*
* -Will
* "Take off that mask!" were
* her words, I believe.
*
* -Will
* She sucks up to all the
* bigwigs at the studio...

* -Will
* But let her see you stumble

* Grr! She's got some nerve!

* Do you think you ould write

* Of c-course.

-Gumshoe
Hey!

-Gumshoe
Aren't you that murderer
from the other day!

-Maya
Aah!
It's that confused detective!

-Gumshoe
Hey pal, you know Prosecutor
Edgeworth is all upset, and
it's your fault!

-Gumshoe
I saw him sipping tea
and staring gloomily out
the window!

-Phoenix
Umm... so?

-Maya
Hey!

-Maya
If he's depressed, it's all
your fault for doing sloppy
detective work!

-Gumshoe
!!!

-Gumshoe
..

-Gumshoe
..

-Gumshoe
..

-Maya
Um, Detective?

-Phoenix
I think you hurt his feelings.

-Maya
Oh no!
I... I'm sorry!

-Phoenix
Well, I think his feelings
are easily hurt.

-Gumshoe
You're right, pal.
It's all my fault.

-Gumshoe
I can blame other people
all I want, but I know
the truth in my heart!

-Maya
Hey, hey! Don't take it
so hard! There's always
the next case!

-Gumshoe
Yeah, I suppose you're right.

-Gumshoe
Hey!

-Gumshoe
What exactly are you
two doing here?

-Maya
Um, well...

-Maya
We're on this case too, pal!

-Gumshoe
Huh!? Hey! You can't
just go saying "pal"
like that!

-Gumshoe
That's MY endearing
character trait!

-Maya
I'd say he's a character
alright...

***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Maya
* There's a big welcome
* sign above the path.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, apparently the studio's
* fallen on tough times.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They've started letting
* people in on days they
* aren't filming.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They make a bit of extra

* admission.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
* You sure know a lot about
* this place, Detective.
*
* -Maya
* You know, you could always
* quit being a detective
* and work here?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah! And what perfect
* timing, with the monkey's
* neck broken and all.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? Just what's that
* supposed to mean, pal!?
*
********************************************

***Examine bench****************************

*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, good idea, pal!
*
* -Maya
* Detective!
* Aren't you on the case?
*
* -Gumshoe
* W-well, yeah, but...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, us detectives get

* too, pal!
*
********************************************

***Examine path to the left*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective Gumshoe, what's
* down the path to the left?
*
* -Phoenix
* It looks like a tree
* fell down over the path...?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, yeah. That way's kind
* of dangerous. You should
* stay out, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* There's nothing down

*
* -Gumshoe
* That's where Studio Two
* used to be, they tell me.
*
* -Gumshoe
* They don't use it now, though.

* The studio mascot.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess it's a monkey

*
* -Phoenix
* But what kind of monkey has
* a nose like that?
*
* -Phoenix
* He's holding a sign
* in his hand.
*
* -Phoenix
* [Right: To Studio One
* Left: To Studio Two]

* What's up with that

* kind of... busted.
*

* the head broke off.
*
* -Gumshoe
* It took that tree down
* with it, too.
*

***Examine camera***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, there's a
* camera here.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's the security camera.
* It takes photos of people
* going to the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* All you have to do is look
* at the data and you can see
* who went where!
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a number plate
* on the camera... [ST1-307].
*
* -Phoenix
* That must be the
* camera ID number.
*
********************************************

***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -Phoenix
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the studio where they
* found Jack Hammer's body.
*
* -Maya
* Let's go in and check
* it out, Nick!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Hey! It's locked!
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like you need a

*
* -Phoenx
* It makes sense that they
* would want to keep the
* non-employees out.
*
********************************************

***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective, see this?
* This is my attorney's badge.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Uh huh?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Don'tcha think it's a little
* sad when you have to explain
* what your badge means, pal?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Real men show their P.D.
* badge and that's that!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'll admit the design of
* my badge leaves a lot to
* be desired...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe it should just be
* a big "L" for "Lawyer"?
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm... I'm not so

* Well, it's... Hey! I can't
* tell you that, pal.

* -Maya
* Nick...
*
* -Maya
* Maybe you need to be a little
* more indirect with your

*
* -Phoenix
* Right.
* So, Detective, mind if I take
* a look at what you got?
*
* -Gumshoe
* What I got?
*
* -Phoenix
* The autopsy report!
* The latest version, if
* you please...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm... right, right.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry about what happened
* last time, pal.
*
* Autopsy Report added to
* the Court Record.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The investigation" again*****
*
* -Phoenix
* So, how is your investigation
* going, Detective?

* I'm not at liberty to give

*
* -Gumshoe
* You'll hear all you
* need to know in court!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Oh well, it was
* worth a try.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Reason for arrest"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* Why was Mr. Powers arrested?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Simple, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* The murder took place right
* over there in Studio One.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Now, the victim entered
* Studio One at approximately
* 1:00 PM.
*
* -Gumshoe
* At that time, there was no
* one other than the victim
* in the studio.
*
* -Gumshoe
* According to the autopsy report,
* the time of death was 2:30 PM.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Only one person went to the
* studio between 1:00 and 2:30!
*
* -Gumshoe
* And that person was none
* other than Will Powers!
*
* -Gumshoe
* No one else, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* If you think I'm lying,
* ask the security lady
* at the main gate.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! If that's true...!
*
* -Maya
* Anyone would think that
* Powers did it with that
* kind of evidence!
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks for cheering me up...
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The Security Lady"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* About the security lady...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, that sweet old lady.
* What a charmer!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
* A-are we talking about
* the same person?
*
* -Gumshoe
* When I showed her my badge
* she gave me a donut and
* some coffee!
*
* -Maya
* Remember what Powers said.
* She's a sucker for authority.
*
* -Gumshoe
* She even gave me a piece
* of valuable evidence!
*
* -Maya
* Whaat!?
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Decisive evidence"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* What kind of evidence!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, that, er, photo.
*
* -Gumshoe
* The photo of the Steel Samurai
* heading toward the scene
* of the crime!
*
* -Maya
* What!
* Who took that!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* See the camera up
* on that gate, pal?
*
* -Maya
* The gate? You mean the
* one with the welcome sign?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah. Whenever someone walks
* by, that camera automatically
* snaps a photo of them!
*
* -Maya
* Oh no!
*
* -Maya
* Nick, he has evidence!
* We're finished!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Funny, for someone with
* hard proof he doesn't look
* too happy.)
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Gumshoe
What's wrong, pal?
You seem down.

-Phoenix
Don't look so happy
when you say that.

-Gumshoe
Oh hoh hoh hoh hoh!

-Maya
Umm...

-Maya
We'd like to ask the employees
here some questions...

-Gumshoe
Sure thing, pal.

-Gumshoe
Go wherever you like.

-Gumshoe
Of course, you're not going
to find any clues I haven't
already found! Hah hah hah!

-Phoenix
(I'm glad someone around
here seems to be enjoying
themselves.)

-Maya
Nick, let's go!

-Maya
We've got a free pass to
the place. Now's our chance
to check things out!

MOVE TO: Studio - Main Gate

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

-Maya
Nick! Look!

-Maya
That security lady is in the
guard station stuffing her
face with donuts!

-Maya
I guess all cops like
their donuts!

-Phoenix
Yeah, and they're soft
enough she doesn't need
teeth to chew them...

-Oldbag
Hey, you!

-Oldbag
Well? Are you satisfied
Powers is guilty yet?

-Phoenix
(Urk!)

-Phoenix
(She had to make my life
harder by giving that photo
to Detective Gumshoe...)

***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********

* Why didn't you tell
* us about the security
* photo, ma'am?
*
* -Oldbag
* Hmm? Oh, that?
*
* -Oldbag
* I just thought it would be
* more thrilling to talk
* with the detective himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* These things are important,
* you know.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, just to the left from
* here is the gate with the
* camera that took that photo.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's my job to check the
* photos every day, you see.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Reason for suspicion"********
*
* -Oldbag
* This guard station is in a
* central position.
*
* -Oldbag
* No matter where you go here,
* you pass by my station first!
*
* -Oldbag
* Now poor Hammer, he went to
* the studio just before 1:00.
*
* -Oldbag
* The murder happened right
* around 2:30, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* The only one I seen go through
* here between 1:00 and 2:30
* was Powers himself!
*
* -Oldbag
* The security camera got
* a good look at him too.
*
* -Oldbag
* If he's not the one what
* did it, I don't know who is!
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe... it was you?
*
* -Oldbag
* Gyah hah ha hah!
* Good one, sonny.
*
* -Phoenix
* (She thinks I was joking.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Was the victim, Mr. Hammer,
* a popular actor?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, he was the biggest
* star in the studio!
*
* -Phoenix
* ("Was"? Past tense?)
*
* -Maya
* Oh yes! He was great as
* the "Bearded Samurai"!
*
* -Oldbag
* That too, yes.
*
* -Oldbag
* He shone the brightest!
* Back in the day.
*
* -Oldbag
* Making a star like him play
* the "Evil Magistrate"...
* It's a disgrace, I tell you!
*
* -Oldbag
* Hammer took it pretty hard,
* and who can blame him?
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Automatic camera"************
*
* -Phoenix
* About the security camera...
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh yes, the camera.
*
* -Oldbag
* It's automatic. It can tell
* when someone walks through
* that gate, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* Then it snaps a photo!
*
* -Oldbag
* Apparently, it records the
* time when it takes a picture
* too.
*
* -Oldbag
* But I don't bother myself
* with those details.
*
* -Oldbag
* I just view all the photos
* on the computer over in the
* security guard station.
*
* -Oldbag
* I check 'em every day before
* going home, I do.

***Talk about "What to do"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you think?

* talking about is the problem
* here.
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, that's hard to say,

* photo ourselves.

* -Phoenix
* But if it is Powers in that

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

***Talk about "Photographic proof"**********
*

* Only one person went to the

* And there's a photograph

*
* -Maya
* I guess it makes sense
* that that person is the

* -Maya
* What do we do, Nick?
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe there was someone else
* who could have gone to the
* scene other than Powers?
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's take a look.

Dressing Room

-Phoenix
(Powers's dressing room...)

-Phoenix
(So this is where he
was sleeping?)

-Phoenix
(Or at least, this is where
he claims he was sleeping.)

-Maya
No one actually saw him
taking a nap here, did they?

-Phoenix
Right, and there's a picture
of him near the crime scene.

-Phoenix
(I hope he's telling the
truth... for his sake!)

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

***Examine window***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* It's locked.
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like he doesn't
* open his window much.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess it is kind of
* dusty outside.
*
********************************************

***Examine sofa*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like someone
* was sleeping here.
*
* -Phoenix
* Maybe Powers did take
* a nap here yesterday...
*
********************************************

***Examine table****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a bunch of snacks on
* the table. They must give
* these to the employees.
*
* -Phoenix
* Some tea and cookies...
*
* -Maya
* Nick...
* I'm hungry!
*
* -Phoenix
* You just had a burger!
*
* -Maya
* Yeah, but I have a separate
* stomach for sweets!
*
* -Phoenix
* (How many stomachs does
* this girl have!?)
*
********************************************

***Examine costumes*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's some regular suits
* in among the costumes here.
*
* -Phoenix
* Those must be his own clothes.
*
* -Maya
* It'd be fun to wear one
* of the costumes...
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd say you were already
* wearing one, myself.)
*
********************************************

***Examine mirror***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* They always have mirrors
* like this in dressing rooms.
*
* -Phoenix
* I see my hair is still nice
* and spiky, just how I like it.
*
********************************************

***Examine cosmetics************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a vast array of
* cosmetics here.
*
* -Maya
* Ooh!
*
* -Maya
* This is the wig he used
* in "Samurai Boogey-Woogey"!
*
* -Maya
* Nick! Try this on!
*
* -Phoenix
* No.
*
* -Phoenix
* And how can you tell the name
* of a show just by looking
* at a wig!?
*
* -Maya
* I, um, kinda like
* samurai movies.
*
* -Phoenix
* ("Kinda"...?)
*
********************************************

***Examine bag******************************
*
* -Maya
* Hmm? This must be
* Powers's bag.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, don't open that.
*
* -Maya
* Look!
*
* -Phoenix
* An employee cardkey.
* That must be Powers's.
*
* -Phoenix
* It says "Studio One."
*
* -Maya
* Let's take it, Nick!
*
* -Phoenix
* Borrow it. You mean borrow.
*
* Cardkey added to
* the Court Record.
*
********************************************

***Examine bag again************************
*
* -Maya
* I wonder what else is
* inside Powers's bag...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Stop that!
* (My partner, the thief
* in training.)

***Present Cardkey**************************

* Could you tell me
* about this, ma'am?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh that! Isn't that
* a studio cardkey?
*
* -Oldbag
* You better watch it!
*
* -Oldbag
* The scene of a murder is
* no place for sightseeing!
*
* -Oldbag
* I'll be taking that!
* Hand it over!
*
* -Phoenix
* W-wait!
* No, that's mine!
*
* -Oldbag
* Look, I don't have a cardkey
* to the studio, see?
*
* -Oldbag
* I want to go pay my respects
* to Jack Hammer where he died.
*
* -Phoenix
* W... well you'll just have
* to wait!

* Aww...
* I just wanted to show it off.

***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -Phoenix
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the studio where they

*
* -Maya
* Let's go in and check

*
* -Phoenix
* I wonder if this cardkey

*
* *beep*
*
* -Phoenix
* It opened!

Studio One

-Maya
..

-Phoenix
What is it?

-Maya
..

-Phoenix
You're real quiet all
of a sudden.

-Maya
Doesn't it give
you the shivers, Nick?

-Maya
That white tape!
It's so... so real!

-Phoenix
Well, the Evil Magistrate
did die here.

-Phoenix
And the Steel Samurai
killed him.

-Phoenix
The murder weapon was the
Samurai Spear. Sounds pretty
real to me...

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

***Examine backdrop*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like a backdrop
* for a stage.
*
* -Phoenix
* This must be used in
* the Steel Samurai show.
*
* -Maya
* Of course! That's the
* mountain, Neo Fujiyama!
*
* -Phoenix
* Doesn't the Steel Samurai take
* place in Olde Tokyo? Can you
* even see Mt. Fuji from there?
*
* -Maya
* Not Olde Tokyo, Nick!
* "Neo" Olde Tokyo!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh.
* Right.
*
********************************************

***Examine white board**********************
*
* -Maya
* What's this?
*
* -Pheonix
* That's for reflecting light.
* They call it a reflecting
* screen or something like that.
*
* -Phoenix
* The assistant holds it
* during filming.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
*
* -Phoenix
* What? Where's your
* enthusiasm for all
* things entertainment?
*
* -Maya
* Well, lighting is fine, but
* I'd want to be the director.
* Or maybe the Steel Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think she's being
* serious...!)
*
********************************************

***Examine director's chair*****************
*
* -Maya
* Hey! Look! That's the chair
* the director sits in!
*
* -Maya
* I've always wanted to
* sit in one of these.
*
* -Maya
* Hey Nick, take a
* look at that.
*
* -Maya
* One of those black-and-white
* boards they clap at the start
* of filming!
*
* -Maya
* And look! A megaphone!
* A real live megaphone!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Ready, Nick?
* Action!
*
* -Phoenix
* (This girl is more
* troubled than I thought...)
*
********************************************

***Examine ladder***************************
*
* -Maya
* Look, a ladder!
*
* -Phoenix
* That's a "step"-ladder.
*
* -Maya
* So? What's the difference?
*
* -Maya
* You need to stop judging
* things based on narrow-minded
* cultural assumptions, Nick!
*
* -Phoenix
* R-right... sorry.
* (This girl is OUT there!)
*
********************************************

***Examine body outline*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* They outlined where Jack
* Hammer's body lay with tape.
*
* -Phoenix
* His body was found still
* inside the Evil Magistrate
* costume.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess that's why the head
* part looks like a helmet.
*
* -Phoenix
* Funny, I expected a spear
* stabbing would leave at
* least a few bloodstains.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess the costume must
* have absorbed most of it...
*
********************************************

***Examine cameras**************************
*
* -Maya
* Wow, look at that camera!
* That must cost a ton!
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah! So don't touch it!
*
* -Maya
* Whoa! It's heavier
* than I thought...
*
* CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY
*
* -???
* Hey! You!
* No touching that!
*
* -Phoenix
* Ah, um, sorry, my partner
* is kind of, y'know...
*
* -Maya
* "Y'know"!? No I don't know!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... who are you?
*
* -Penny
* Who me? I'm an assistant here.
*
* -Penny
* I help with props and stuff.
* Moving them around, ordering
* new ones, et cetera.
*
* -Maya
* We're lawyers representing
* Mr. Will Powers.
*
* -Penny
* Oh, you're WP's people.
*
* -Maya
* "WP"...? Oh, Will Powers.
* W.P., I get it.
*
* -Penny
* I don't envy you guys one bit!
*
* -Penny
* But... do what you can for
* WP, okay?
*
* -Penny
* He'd never hurt a fly!
* He has to be innocent.
*
* -Maya
* Don't worry, leave it to us!
*
********************************************

***Present anything*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, any thoughts about this?
*
* -Penny
* Sorry...
*
* -Penny
* I... don't really want
* to think too much about
* what happened just yet.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The day of the crime"********
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell me anything
* about the day of the murder?
*
* -Penny
* Yes. I was in the studio
* the whole day.
*
* -Penny
* I was the only assistant
* on staff that day, you see.
*
* -Maya
* Only one assistant!?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, well, the studios aren't
* doing so well right now.
*
* -Penny
* And yesterday was only
* rehearsal for our action
* sequences.
*
* -Maya
* I see. Neat!
*
* -Penny
* In the morning we went through
* the action sequences in the
* employee area.
*
* -Penny
* WP and Hammer were there,
* along with everyone else.
*
* -Phoenix
* The employee area--that's
* where Powers's dressing
* room is, right?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, that's the place.
*
* -Penny
* After eating lunch there,
* Mr. Hammer went to Studio One.
*
* -Penny
* Then I saw WP go into
* his dressing room.
*
* -Penny
* But I didn't see either
* of them after that.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Will Powers******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Did you know that Mr. Powers
* was sleeping in his room?
*
* -Penny
* No! I wouldn't go in there
* unless I had some urgent
* message for him...
*
* -Penny
* I mean, it's his private...
* What kind of a girl do
* you think I am!?
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what kind...? No, no, I'm
* sure you're a fine girl.
* Um, sorry.
*
* -Phoenix
* (So much for getting a
* confirmation of Powers's
* alibi.)
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Maya
What do we do, Nick?
We haven't found anything.

-Maya
If WP was the only one
who came to the studio...

-Maya
Then he has to be the
killer! They even have
a photograph...

-Phoenix
Hmm...

-Penny
Umm...

-Penny
Sorry... I know
you're busy.

-Phoenix
Not really.

-Penny
Actually, there's been
something bothering me.

-Maya
Ah hah!

-Maya
That's what I'm talking about!
A clue! A lead!

-Penny
Well, I don't know about that,
but that day, just after noon,
I sensed someone was here...

-Phoenix
You "sensed"?

-Penny
Yes, several times.

-Phoenix
Some other studio employees,
maybe?

-Penny
No, I don't think so.

-Penny
The only thing we had
scheduled was an action
scene run-through.

-Penny
I was the only assistant
here that day.

-Penny
I have a feeling it was
someone from... outside.

-Phoenix
R-really!?

-Maya
But wait, if someone
had come in here...

-Maya
Wouldn't that security
lady have noticed them?

-Phoenix
Yeah, you're right.

-Penny
I'm sorry I don't have
any better information
than that.

-Maya
No, thanks! That helps
us a lot. Anything helps.

-Maya
Let's go put that security
lady on the spot!

***Talk about "Sensing someone"*************
*
* -Phoenix
* So you sensed that someone
* other than the regular
* film crew was in the studio?
*
* -Penny
* Yes... I think.
*
* -Phoenix
* ("I think" doesn't cut it
* in a witness testimony.)
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
* What about that security lady!
*
* -Maya
* If someone else came into
* the studio, she must have
* seen them!

* You came here at 1:00 PM,

*

*
* -Phoenix
* Are you sure that Powers

* -Oldbag
* Sure as can be!

AFTER OBTAINING PHOTO

-Maya
Hey, hey, Nick!

-Maya
Can't we use this photo
as evidence for the trial?

-Phoenix
Yeah.

-Maya
We'll put that security
lady in her place with this!

-Phoenix
Right, we'll put her in her
place...

-Maya
Hey, that's what I said!
Anyway...

-Maya
Let's show her this photo
and see what she says!

-Phoenix
Wait. Let's not.

-Maya
Why not?

-Phoenix
It's never a good idea to
reveal your hand to the
enemy too soon.

-Maya
Nick! You're craftier than
I gave you credit for.

-Maya
Why, you could be the next...
Evil Magistrate!

-Phoenix
Hey! Why do I have
to be the villain.

-Maya
Relax, it was just a joke!
So, are we done for today?

-Phoenix
I think this photo is
what we needed for the
trial.

-Phoenix
Still, it'd be better if we
had some idea who the real
killer was!

-Phoenix
Maybe it really is
that security lady...?

|EPISODE 3 - TURNABOUT SAMURAI|
|DAY 2 - TRIAL                |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

October 18, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4

-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Will Powers.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution will show the
court that at 2:30 PM
on October 15, the defendant,

-Edgeworth
Mr. Will Powers, killed
fellow actor Jack Hammer at
Studio One of Global Studios.

-Edgeworth
It is impossible for anyone
else to have committed this
heinous crime.

-Edgeworth
The evidence presented
during the trial will all
point to this fact.

-Judge
Hmm. I see.

-Judge
Very well, I would like to
move on to your testimony.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, the prosecution
may call its first witness.

-Edgeworth
First, I would like to call
a familiar face, Detective
Gumshoe, to the stand.

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

-Edgeworth
Detective, if you would
briefly describe this case
to the court?

-Gumshoe
Yes sir!
I'll explain with the
guidemap here.

RETURN HERE FROM BELOW

-Gumshoe
To understand this case, it's
important to grasp the layout
of the studios, see?

-Gumshoe
This here is the Employee
Area.

-Gumshoe
The actors did a run-through
of their action scenes during
the morning here.

-Gumshoe
This is the main gate to the
studios.

-Gumshoe
The security lady that works
at the studios was here at
1:00 PM on that day.

-Gumshoe
Past the security station
there is a gate, see?

-Gumshoe
Past that are the studios.

-Gumshoe
And here it is...
Studio One.

-Gumshoe
This is the scene of the
murder, where the body
was found!

-Gumshoe
Now, on the day of the
murder, October 15, there
were only three people here.

Gumshoe
The victim, Jack Hammer,

-Gumshoe
the defendant, Will Powers,

-Gumshoe
and a young woman, the
production assistant.

-Gumshoe
All the production staff
were in the Employee Area
until noon.

-Gumshoe
Then after lunch, the victim,
Jack Hammer, went to
Studio One.

-Gumshoe
Right after that, at 1:00 PM,
the security lady got to the
guard station.

-Gumshoe
Now, jump ahead to later
that day... 5:00 PM.

-Gumshoe
The production staff came
to Studio One to perform a
rehearsal.

-Gumshoe
Needless to say, the rehearsal
was cancelled...

-Gumshoe
The time of death was
2:30 PM.

-Gumshoe
The "Samurai Spear" found
lodged in the victim's chest
was the murder weapon.

-Gumshoe
That's the case, in brief.

-Gumshoe
Anyone like to hear
that again?

-Phoenix
(Hmm... should I listen to
that whole thing again...?)

***Skip it**********************************

***Listen again*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm sorry, could you describe

* -Gumshoe
* Fine. Once more for the
* mentally-challenged lawyer.
*

-Phoenix
(I think I can probably
remember that...)

-Judge
So the murder weapon
was a "spear"?

-Judge
How... medieval!

Samurai Spear added
to the Court Record.

-Edgeworth
Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
This case is quite simple
if you ask one question:

-Edgeworth
And that question is:

-Edgeworth
"What did the security lady
at the guard station see?"

-Judge
Understood.

-Edgeworth
Let's call this security
officer to the stand!

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

-Edgeworth
Will the witness declare
her name?

-Oldbag
..

-Oldbag
Hmm?

-Oldbag
My, aren't you
a handsome fellow!

-Oldbag
I'm afraid I'm a bit
flustered!

-Edgeworth
Y-your name, please!

-Oldbag
Oh, dearie! No need for
you to be embarrassed!
Just call me "grandma."

-Edgeworth
YOUR NAME, PLEASE!

-Phoenix
(Seems Edgeworth has a bit of
trouble getting his witnesses
to say their names...)

-Oldbag
Wendy Oldbag, dearie.

-Oldbag
So just call me "grandma."
It's practically my name!

-Oldbag
So even when I was young I
was an Oldbag, but not really
that was just my name dearie.

-Oldbag
Still how the other children
would make fun of me and just
because of my name can you

-Oldbag
believe it? But there was this
boy, the captain of the chess
club in junior high, and when

-Oldbag
he called me an old bag well
I just cried and cried because
I had a crush on him you see--

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
O-objection! I... object to
the witness's talkativeness.

-Judge
Objection sustained!

-Judge
The witness will refrain
from rambling on the stand.

-Oldbag
I was just getting to
the good part, dearie!

-Edgeworth
Perhaps we can get to the
testimony?

-Judge
Now, the witness was stationed
at the main gate on the day
of the murder, correct?

-Oldbag
Yessey I was.

-Judge
And to get to the scene of
the murder, someone would
have to pass by you?

-Oldbag
You know your stuff, dearie!

-Judge
..

-Judge
You may begin your testimony.

-Phoenix
(She sure is one hell of
an Oldbag...)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at 1:00 PM.

(2)
-Oldbag
Poor old Hammer and the rest
had been doing a run-through
there since the morning.

(3)
-Oldbag
I, well, I had some errands
to run that morning.

(4)
-Oldbag
Anyway, it was 1:00 when
I got to the guard station.

(5)
-Oldbag
I was at the main gate
from then until 5:00!

(6)
-Oldbag
Now, the murder happened
at 2:30 PM, right?

(7)
-Oldbag
Interesting to me, because a
certain man walked right by
me at 2:00 PM.

(8)
-Oldbag
It was Powers!
That man right there, and he
was heading toward the studio!

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

-Judge
You saw the defendant, then?
Hmm...

-Judge
Very well. Let's begin the
cross-examination. Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at 1:00 PM.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So up until that time,
  anyone who wanted to
  could go into the studio?

  -Oldbag
  Well, there wasn't a security
  guard at the gate, no.

  -Oldbag
  But the main gate
  was locked, dearie.

  -Oldbag
  You'd need an employee
  cardkey to get in.

  -Phoenix
  (Right... the cardkey
  that I have.)

  -Phoenix
  (So, what she's saying is
  no one who wasn't supposed
  to be there could get in.)

  -Edgeworth
  Was there anyone at the
  studios when you arrived
  at the guard station?

(2)
-Oldbag
Poor old Hammer and the rest
had been doing a run-through
there since the morning.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  A "run-through"...?

  -Oldbag
  They were working out a scene
  between the Steel Samurai
  and the Evil Magistrate.

  -Oldbag
  They got the basics figured
  out by noon, and were to use
  the afternoon for practice.

  -Oldbag
  Rehearsal was supposed
  to start at 5:00.

  -Oldbag
  That's why poor old Hammer
  went to Studio One in the
  afternoon.

  -Phoenix
  (So Powers was in his dressing
  room sleeping... when he was
  supposed to be practicing!)

  -Phoenix
  (Talk about a laid-back
  hero...)

  -Edgeworth
  If there was a run-through in
  the morning, why did you
  only get there after noon?

(3)
-Oldbag
I, well, I had some errands
to run that morning.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What kind of "errands"?

  -Oldbag
  Oh, well, you know.

  -Phoenix
  Answer the question!

  -Oldbag
  Actually... I was watching
  poor Hammer and Powers.
  Observing, you know?

  -Phoenix
  O-observing?
  Weren't you supposed to
  be at the guard station?

  -Oldbag
  Whippersnapper! I told you
  I locked the gate, didn't I?
  I did my job!

  -Phoenix
  (I'm not sure your boss
  would see it that way...)

  -Oldbag
  Anyway!

  -Oldbag
  I always watch Hammer's
  run-throughts. Always!

  -Oldbag
  Never missed one
  in all my years.

  -Maya
  Wow! I want to see a Steel
  Samurai run-through too!

  -Phoenix
  You could quit being a spirit
  medium and take up guard duty.

  -Maya
  Not a bad idea...

(4)
-Oldbag
Anyway, it was 1:00 when
I got to the guard station.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Did you see the victim then?

  -Oldbag
  Did I see poor old Hammer?
  Nope.

  -Oldbag
  He'd already gone to the
  studio before I got back
  to the guard station.

  -Edgeworth
  Tell us what happened next.

(5)
-Oldbag
I was at the main gate
from then until 5:00!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So you were watching there
  the WHOLE time? No breaks?
  Not even a second?

  -Oldbag
  O-of course!
  I am a professional, you know!

  -Oldbag
  Our are you criticizing how
  I do my job!? Whippersnapper!

  -Phoenix
  No, it's just, after seeing
  you eating those donuts in
  the guard station yesterday...

  -Oldbag
  I can watch the gate and eat
  donuts at the same time!

  -Oldbag
  Snipperwhapper!

  -Maya
  "Snipperwhapper"...?

  -Maya
  Old windbag is losing
  it, Nick.

  -Phoenix
  Why don't you raise an
  objection?

  -Judge
  So, the witness was on duty
  through the afternoon,
  the whole time. Very well.

  -Judge
  What did you see?

(6)
-Oldbag
Now, the murder happened
at 2:30 PM, right?

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How did you know that?

  -Oldbag
  Oh hoh hoh. I have my ways!
  That over-dressed young
  detective told me.

  -Oldbag
  I fed him some donuts and
  he talked and talked...

  -Oldbag
  If you ask me, that detective
  isn't cut out for his job.

  -Edgeworth
  ...

  -Phoenix
  (Poor Detective Gumshoe,
  getting chewed out by a
  security guard...)

(7)
-Oldbag
Interesting to me, because a
certain man walked right by
me at 2:00 PM.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  2:00? You're sure?
</pre><pre id="faqspan-9">
  -Oldbag
  Sure as spit!

  -Judge
  Well, who was the man!?

  -Oldbag
  Really, you should try not to
  get so excited at your age.
  You might strain something.

  -Judge
  ...

  -Oldbag
  Now, now, don't get your
  skivvies all in a bunch.
  I'll tell you who it was!

(8)
-Oldbag
It was Powers!
That man right there, and he
was heading toward the studio!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So you saw Mr. Powers?

  -Oldbag
  That's what I said!
  Got wax in your ears, sonny?

  -Maya
  Nick, this is your chance!

  -Phoenix
  Yeah, time to pull out
  the secret weapon...

  -Oldbag
  I'll say it again!
  It was him!

-Maya
Nick...

-Maya
Doesn't she seem like she's
enjoying this a little too
much?

-Phoenix
Windbags love gossiping about
other people's misfortunes.

-Maya
Ugh. Can't she get her
kicks somewhere else?

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Let me get this straight,
old bag! Er, Ms. Oldbag!

-Phoenix
You've been saying since
yesterday that you "saw
Mr. Powers," correct?

-Phoenix
But you're talking about
the man in this photo,
aren't you!

-Judge
J-just a moment,
Mr. Wright.

-Judge
Let me see that photo!

-Judge
..

-Judge
What is this, exactly?

-Phoenix
None other than the Steel
Samurai, defender of
Neo Olde Tokyo.

-Phoenix
Ms. Oldbag!

-Phoenix
Is this the "Mr. Powers"
that you saw!?

-Oldbag
Of course! Didn't your momma
teach you any sense, sonny?

-Oldbag
Anyone can plainly see
that's Powers! Right?

-Edgeworth
Um, yeah.

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Umm... well.
I wonder?

-Phoenix
True, Mr. Powers does play
the role of the Steel Samurai!

-Phoenix
But that doesn't mean Mr.
Powers IS the Steel Samurai!

-Oldbag
..!

-Oldbag
I... I know that!
I wasn't born yesterday!

-Judge
No one in this court is
accusing you of that,
Ms... er, witness.

-Phoenix
(He's having trouble calling
her "Oldbag" apparently...)

-Judge
However, you do not have proof
that the person in this photo
is Mr. Will Powers, do you?

-Oldbag
Humph!
Nosy old man!

-Oldbag
Of course I have proof!

-Phoenix
What!?

-Edgeworth
Huh!?

-Phoenix
(Even Edgeworth is
surprised!?)

-Edgeworth
The prosecution would like
to ask the old... the witness.

-Edgeworth
Please make known all the
information in your
possession ahead of time!

-Oldbag
How was I to know everyone
would be so nosy! You should
be ashamed, all of you!

-Oldbag
Anyway, I showed that photo
to the young detective.

-Oldbag
He told me "this isn't any
good as evidence, pal."

-Oldbag
He didn't even give it
a second look!

-Edgeworth
..

-Phoenix
(Wow, old windbag has left
even Edgeworth speechless.
She's good!)

-Judge
Let's hear about your
proof, then.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
--The Man in the Photo--

(1)
-Oldbag
I never say anything
I don't mean, mind you!

(2)
-Oldbag
That morning, during the
run-through of the action
scene...

(3)
-Oldbag
I saw Powers trip and fall!

(4)
-Oldbag
He broke one of the props,
it was a big mess.

(5)
-Oldbag
Apparently, he sprained
his ankle pretty bad.

-Oldbag
Now, look at that picture!

(6)
-Oldbag
You can see he's dragging
his leg! See? Clear as day!

(7)
-Oldbag
That's how I knew it
was Powers. Happy?

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

-Judge
Hmm. So he had sprained
his ankle...?

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright, you
may cross-examine the witness.

-Phoenix
(She's got to be hiding
something... I'll press
her until she squeals.)

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
--The Man in the Photo--

(1)
-Oldbag
I never say anything
I don't mean, mind you!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Umm...

  -Oldbag
  Whippersnapper!

  -Phoenix
  (Hey, I haven't said
  anything yet!)

  -Oldbag
  I'll have you know I'm not
  pointing fingers at anyone
  behind their backs!

  -Oldbag
  Everything I've said is on
  the straight and narrow!
  The up and up!

  -Oldbag
  Youth today! Always whining
  about each other, pointing
  fingers this way and that!

  -Oldbag
  It's enough to make an old
  lady want to cry...

  -Edgeworth
  Mr. Wright!

  -Edgeworth
  Please, for all our sakes,
  try not to upset the witness!

  -Phoenix
  (I think Edgeworth has
  met his match...)

(2)
-Oldbag
That morning, during the
run-through of the action
scene...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Who was present at
  the run-through?

  -Oldbag
  Well, let's see...
  There was Powers, he's
  the Steel Samurai...

  -Oldbag
  Then poor old Hammer,
  the Evil Magistrate.

  -Oldbag
  And... me.

  -Judge
  And what exactly were you
  doing?

  -Oldbag
  Observing! Just... observing.

  -Phoenix
  What about the assistant?

  -Oldbag
  Oh, she was off moving
  backdrops around and such.

  -Phoenix
  (So she didn't see the
  run-through, then...)

(3)
-Oldbag
I saw Powers trip and fall!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Trip and fall"...?

  -Oldbag
  Yes! And to think, he's
  supposed to be the Steel
  Samurai! What a laugh!

  -Oldbag
  So Powers sprained
  his ankle.

  -Oldbag
  I helped make it better
  for him, of course.

  -Judge
  You... helped make it better?

  -Oldbag
  I kissed it where it hurt.

  -Judge
  L-let's just skip over
  that part, shall we?

  -Phoenix
  Where was the assistant then?

  -Oldbag
  Oh, her? She was cleaning
  up backdrops, I think.

  -Oldbag
  She didn't know about
  Powers's ankle.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm...)

  -Edgeworth
  You may continue your
  testimony.

(4)
-Oldbag
He broke one of the props,
it was a big mess.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  He broke a prop?

  -Oldbag
  Sure did!
  His own Samurai Spear.

  -Phoenix
  (His Samurai Spear...
  the murder weapon!?)

  -Oldbag
  Luckily I was there with
  my duct tape to fix it.

  -Phoenix
  (This strikes me as a
  significant detail...)

  CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY

  -Phoenix
  (I'd better write this
  down in the Court Record.)

  Samurai Spear updated
  in the Court Record.

(5)
-Oldbag
Apparently, he sprained
his ankle pretty bad.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Was Mr. Power's ankle
  badly sprained?

  -Oldbag
  Not so bad that he
  couldn't walk around.

  -Oldbag
  He went to his dressing
  room to rest up after
  lunch.

  -Phoenix
  (Thus the nap...)

  -Oldbag
  Anyway, I saw him dragging
  his foot when he walked.

  -Phoenix
  (Dragging his foot... okay.)

(6)
-Oldbag
You can see he's dragging
his leg! See? Clear as day!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you absolutely sure?
  (Let's take a look at
  that picture again...)

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... so he was walking
  strangely because he was
  injured...)

  -Judge
  Hmm. It does look like
  he was dragging his foot.

  -Oldbag
  See! And you didn't trust
  me! Whippersnapper!

(7)
-Oldbag
That's how I knew it
was Powers. Happy?

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Still, you can't look at
  this and say it's Mr. Powers!

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  Yes, but only Mr. Powers
  would have been dragging
  his leg!

  -Judge
  He has a point. It does seem
  quite likely that it was
  Powers.

  -Phoenix
  (There's got to be more to
  this. I'd better keep
  pressing her.)

-Maya
Well, Nick? Find any
glaring contradictions?

-Phoenix
Well, she seems pretty
sure that was Powers in
that photo...

-Phoenix
I guess I'll just press
her and see if I can
shake her conviction...

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

AFTER PRESSING FOR A WHILE

-Edgeworth
I think we've heard enough!

-Edgeworth
Haven't we, Your Honor?

-Judge
Well, there is one thing
that bothers me.

-Edgeworth
Which is?

-Judge
Where is this "Steel Samurai"
costume now?

-Edgeworth
Umm... hmm.

-Edgeworth
Actually, well...
We couldn't find it.

-Edgeworth
We're looking, though.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Edgeworth
Anyway, that's not important!

-Edgeworth
The witness did see
the Steel Samurai, yes.

-Edgeworth
And it is clear that the
person in the Steel Samurai
suit was Mr. Will Powers!

-Judge
Hmm... I suppose that's right.

-Phoenix
(Are you sure you're
sure, Your Honor?)

***Object***********************************

* -Phoenix

* -Phoenix

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account, cont.--

(1)
-Oldbag
The time of poor Hammer's
death was 2:30 PM, true?

(2)
-Oldbag
The only person I saw go

was Will Powers!

(3)
-Oldbag
No one else went there!

(4)
-Oldbag
If they had, I would have
seen them!

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
So, if no one else went
to the studio...

-Judge
Then it would have to be this
"Steel Samurai" who did it.

-Judge
Mr. Wright, you may cross-
examine the witness.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account, cont.--

(1)
-Oldbag
The time of poor Hammer's
death was 2:30 PM, true?

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How do you know that?

  -Oldbag
  Eh? Didn't I just
  explain?

  -Oldbag
  I gave donuts to the
  young detective.

  -Oldbag
  And the, after some rubbish
  about it being a "secret, pal"
  he told me everything.

  -Phoenix
  (I see Detective Gumshoe
  shares his fellow officer's
  fondness for donuts.)

(2)
-Oldbag
The only person I saw go
to the studio before then
was Will Powers!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you absolutely sure!?

  -Oldbag
  Oh, quite, quite, sonny.
  Nobody suspicious lookin'
  passed by at all.

  -Phoenix
  (Nobody suspicious lookin'...
  Right.)

(3)
-Oldbag
No one else went there!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What about before you
  got to the guard station?

  -Oldbag
  You mean before 1:00?

  -Oldbag
  Why, everyone was in the
  Employee Area before then.

  -Oldbag
  And I locked the main gate
  so no one could get in.

  -Oldbag
  Not to mention...

(4)
-Oldbag
If they had, I would have
seen them!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure!?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  The witness has answered
  the question!

  -Edgeworth
  Anyone going into the studio
  had to pass by the witness!

  -Oldbag
  That's right, sonny!

  -Oldbag
  You let 'em have
  it, Edgey-boy!

  -Phoenix
  (E-Edgey-boy...?)

  -Edgeworth
  ...

-Maya
Old windbag sure has
balls! Or... well, you
know what I mean.

-Phoenix
Old windbags have a way of
skipping over important
details, after all...

-Phoenix
Or, for that matter,
entirely forgetting them.

-Maya
How convenient.

-Phoenix
(Something for you to
look forward to, perhaps?)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Hold on!

-Phoenix
Look at this photograph
one more time.

-Phoenix
This photo was taken by
the camera at the gate
for the studios, correct?

-Oldbag
Yesiree, sonny.

-Phoenix
So, whenever anyone passes
by here, it automatically
takes a picture?

-Oldbag
And here I thought you didn't
know your head from a hole
in the ground.

-Phoenix
Right...
Anyway!

-Phoenix
It's also true that the
computer in the guard station
records all security cam data.

-Oldbag
Ooh! You know, if you wanted
to work at the studio, we
might have an opening.

-Phoenix
That very computer printed
out this photo.

-Phoenix
Note that on the back of the
photo are printed the words:
[Oct 15, 2:00 PM, Photo #2]

-Oldbag
Even I know that means it was
taken at 2:00 PM on October
the 15th! Really, sonny!

-Phoenix
Actually, I knew that too.

-Phoenix
The issure here is the bit
at the end where it says:
"Photo #2"...

-Oldbag
"Photo #2"...?

-Phoenix
The computer only held
data for one photo on
that day.

-Phoenix
Don't you think that's odd?

-Phoenix
Shouldn't this photo be
"Photo #1" if it really
was the ONLY photo!?

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Please tell the court what
you mean by this, Mr. Wright!

-Phoenix
Actually, that's what I
want to ask the witness.

-Phoenix
This evidence shows that
not one, but two people
went to the studio that day.

-Phoenix
Yet there is only
data for one of the photos!

-Phoenix
Who could have erased
the data for the other
photo?

-Phoenix
Only someone with access...
the security lady herself!

-Oldbag
Eh!?

-Oldbag
You watch your mouth,
whippersnapper!

-Oldbag
The only person I saw that
day was Will Powers!

-Phoenix
But the camera on the gate
fired twice! That means
two people went by!

-Oldbag
Umm... well, yes... that's
what it would seem to mean...

-Judge
Can the witness explain
this to the court?

-Oldbag
Umm... ahem.
I-I don't understand these
new-fangled computer things...

-Oldbag
Umm... E-Edgey-boy!
Help!

-Edgeworth
Huh!?

-Edgeworth
B-believe me, I want to,
but I don't know what
this means either.

-Oldbag
Humph!
Some help you are!
You're a whippersnapper too!

-Oldbag
..

-Oldbag
..

-Oldbag
Whippersnapper...?

-Judge
Something the matter,
Ms. Oldbag?

-Oldbag
Ah!
That's right!

-Oldbag
I...
I just remembered something!

-Judge
Let me guess...

-Judge
Someone else passed by
the gate... someone other
than the Steel Samurai?

-Oldbag
Er... well, yes, I suppose
you could put it that way.

-Judge
*sigh*
I see.

-Judge
Your testimony, please.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
--The Other Person--

(1)
-Oldbag
Every day, after I finish
my guard duties, I have one
other important job to do.

(2)
-Oldbag
I go through the photos
recorded on the security
computer and check them.

(3)
-Oldbag
I throw out any photos
that aren't suspicious
lookin', you see.

(4)
-Oldbag
Come to think of it, now
I remember throwing out
one photo that day!

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

-Edgeworth
M-Ms. Oldbag!
This is the first I've
heard of this!

-Oldbag
Well, of course, sonny!
I've only just remembered it.

-Judge
Right... anyway,
Mr. Wright, please begin
the cross-examination.

-Maya
Well, I'd say this was a turn
for the unexpected, but I
kind of expected this...

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
--The Other Person--

(1)
-Oldbag
Every day, after I finish
my guard duties, I have one
other important job to do.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Another "job"?

  -Oldbag
  T-that's right. I check all
  the people that passed by
  the main gate that day.

  -Oldbag
  I look closely at every one
  of the photos that security
  camera takes.

  -Edgeworth
  Do you backup all of the
  security camera data?

  -Oldbag
  Well, they keep telling
  me too, yes.

  -Oldbag
  But those computers are
  just so frustrating.

(2)
-Oldbag
I go through the photos
recorded on the security
computer and check them.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How many photos are there,
  usually?

  -Oldbag
  On a day when we're open to
  the public, we get more than
  500 people.

  -Oldbag
  But on filming days
  or rehearsal days... well,
  we don't have much money.

  -Oldbag
  We never get mroe than
  50, and that's a big day.

  -Edgeworth
  Do you backup all of the
  security camera data?

  -Oldbag
  Well, they keep telling
  me too, yes.

  -Oldbag
  But those computers are
  just so frustrating.

(3)
-Oldbag
I throw out any photos
that aren't suspicious
lookin', you see.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How exactly do you determine
  what isn't "suspicious
  lookin'"?

  -Oldbag
  Oh, you can tell by looking
  at their faces. For the
  most part.

  -Phoenix
  F-for the most part?

  -Phoenix
  This is a murder trial,
  Ms. Oldbag!

  -Oldbag
  Well, I didn't touch that
  suspicious lookin'
  Will Powers's photo, did I?

  -Phoenix
  (I think she's missing
  the point.)

(4)
-Oldbag
Come to think of it, now
I remember throwing out
one photo that day!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Well, who in the heck was
  in that photo you erased!?

  -Oldbag
  Humph.
  A fanboy.

  -Phoenix
  F-fanboy?

  -Oldbag
  Steel Samurai fanboys.
  Real freaks, if you ask me.

  -Oldbag
  They get information about
  the rehearsals from gosh-
  knows-where.

  -Oldbag
  They're always hanging about.
  One was there that day.

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION

-Maya
"Come to think of it"?
Couldn't she think of that
a little earlier!?

-Phoenix
Classic old windbag
maneuver, Maya.

-Maya
Hmm...

-Maya
Might be a useful tactic
to remember for use in my
future career as a windbag.

-Phoenix
(Let's find out more about
this "erased" photo.)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
W-wait a second!
Didn't you just say no one
else could get in!?

-Phoenix
"I locked the main gate
so no one could get in"...
Those were your words!

-Oldbag
Well!

-Oldbag
If you must know, there's
a drain that goes into the
Employee Area.

-Oldbag
The grate has been loose
for a while.

-Oldbag
It leads outside, and well,
that's where they come in.

-Phoenix
They come in through
the drain?

-Oldbag
I told you they were freaks.

-Oldbag
Oh, and...

-Phoenix
And...?

-Oldbag
They're kids.
Children.
Whippersnappers.

-Phoenix
K-kids!?

-Phoenix
So, on the photo that
you erased...?

-Oldbag
It was a boy.
Probably 2nd or 3rd grade.

-Phoenix
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!?

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Judge
Let me get this straight.

-Judge
You saw two people pass
by the gate on their way
to the studios that day?

-Judge
One was the Steel Samurai,
dragging his leg.

-Judge
The other was a boy who
looked to be in about
2nd or 3rd grade?

-Oldbag
Oh yes, well we see his
type there every day.

-Oldbag
Can't stop 'em.
Can't catch 'em.

-Edgeworth
A boy in 2nd or 3rd grade?
Hmm...

-Edgeworth
I assume it would be hard, if
not impossible for a young boy
to wield the Samurai Spear?

-Judge
Impossible, I'd think.
It's quite heavy.

-Oldbag
Right! As I said, I didn't
pay him much mind.

-Oldbag
That's why I erased the data.

-Maya
Um, Nick?
What's going on?

-Maya
I mean, the boy was there,
that makes him a suspect!

-Phoenix
Yeah, and they're already
trying to "un-suspect" him.

-Judge
I'd like to take a five minute
recess.

-Judge
I want the defense and the
prosecution to consider
this new information...

-Judge
And no forgetting vital
information this time!

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

October 18, 11:08 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 3

-Phoenix
Mr. WP?

-Wll
Y-yes?

-Phoenix
Tell me straight: were you
really in your dressing room?
You didn't go to the studio?

-Will
I-I didn't go to the studio!
I was s-sleeping, honest.

-Maya
So who was the "Steel
Samurai" in that security
photo?

-Will
How should I know?

-Will
The Steel Samurai costume
was off in the corner of
the dressing room.

-Will
Anyone could have walked
in and taken it, really.

-Maya
What!?
You should take better
care of that stuff!

-Will
I couldn't imagine anyone
would wnat to steal a
Steel Samurai costume!

-Will
So... where does this
leave me?

-Phoenix
It doesn't look good...

-Will
*sniff*

-Phoenix
You're the only likely
suspect, right now.

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
W-what are we going to do!?

-Phoenix
First, we play for more time.

-Phoenix
We'll start targeting someone
else that could conceivably
have done this!

-Maya
Right!

-Maya
And it'll take them so long
to shoot us down that we
can get another day!

-Phoenix
Right... but if we pick
the wrong person, we
might lose on the spot.

-Will
You... don't sound very
optimistic.

-Phoenix
I'm not optimistic
at all, actually.

-Maya
Hey, Nick.
It's time.

-Phoenix
Okay. Let's go.
*sigh*

-Will
What does that mean...
Please don't sigh like that!
*sniff*

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

-Judge
The court will now reconvene
for the trial of Mr. Will
Powers.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, will you
present the prosecution's
thoughts on this matter?

-Edgeworth
The prosecution's thoughts
are simple.

-Edgeworth
Nothing has changed.

-Edgeworth
The other person who went
to the studios was a boy
of roughly 10 years of age.

-Edgeworth
The photo we do have may
not be hard evidence...

-Edgeworth
But there is still no one
else that could have committed
this crime!

-Edgeworth
I call for a verdict of
"guilty" for the defendant,
Mr. Will Powers!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright,
your thoughts?

-Phoenix
The defense disagrees
with the prosecution's
claim.

-Phoenix
There IS another person
who could have committed
this crime!

-Judge
Order!
Interesting...

-Judge
Let us hear who you have
in mind!
However...

-Judge
Be aware that this court
does not look kindly on
accusing the innocent.

-Judge
If you accuse someone who
is obviously innocent, you
will be penalized.

-Phoenix
(Right. Great. As if the
stakes weren't high enough.)

-Judge
So, who was this person
other than Mr. Powers that
could have committed murder?

***The assistant girl***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* It was the assistant!
*
* -Phoenix
* The Steel Samurai costume
* was in his dressing room.
*
* -Phoenix
* She stole it, and in doing
* so she became the Steel
* Samurai!
*
* -Judge
* So you're saying the Steel
* Samurai in the picture is
* really the assistant?
*
* -Phoenix
* That's correct, Your Honor!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you're serious, you've
* got guts, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Remember the photo?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Wasn't the Steel Samurai
* a little lame!? He was
* dragging his foot!
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh.
* (Uh oh. Bad feeling time.)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Remember the testimony
* concerning Powers's injury!!!
*
* -Oldbag
* Powers and poor Hammer
* were at the run-through.
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, and me.
*
* -Phoenix
* What about the assistant?
*
* -Oldbag
* Oh, her? She was cleaning
* up backdrops, I think.
*
* -Oldbag
* She didn't know about
* Powers's ankle.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The assistant knew nothing
* of Mr. Power's injury!
*
* -Edgeworth
* She could look the Steel
* Samurai look with that
* costume...
*
* -Edgeworth
* But she couldn't walk the
* the Steel Samurai walk!
* She wouldn't have limped!
*
* -Phoenix
* Ungh!
*
* -Maya
* That kind of takes the legs
* out from under that case...
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* I'm afrad I have to penalize
* you, as I warned.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Nobody knows...
* the trouble I've seen...)
*
* -Judge
* May we move on,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Grr... this fight
* isn't over yet!)
*
* -Phoenix
* If you would, Your Honor,
* one more chance, please.
*
* -Judge
* Very well.
* Go ahead.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION

***The grade-school boy*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* It was the grade-school boy!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Why isn't anyone saying
* anything?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Bah!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Are you seriously suggesting
* the boy did it, Mr. Wright!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* "Grade-school boy kills
* veteran action star with
* spear!"
*
* -Edgeworth
* For one thing, it was
* the Steel Samurai holding
* the murder weapon.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Would you care to explain
* just how the boy was
* involved?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm... maybe that was
* a dumb move on my part.)
*
* -Maya
* "Maybe"?
* "Maybe"!?
* How about "absolutely," Nick!

* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.

* -Judge
* I'm afrad I have to penalize

***The security lady************************

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

-Phoenix
It was the security lady!
Wendy Oldbag!

-Oldbag
W-who!?

-Phoenix
The Steel Samurai is dragging
his leg in this picture.

-Phoenix
That means whoever was in
the suit knew about that
morning's injury.

-Phoenux
Maybe because... they
had been watching the
action scene run-through!

-Phoenix
There was only one person
other than Powers and Hammer
who knew about the injury.

-Phoenix
The security lady, Oldbag!

-Oldbag
W-what!? Whippersnapper!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
I-is this true, Oldbag!?

-Oldbag
Oldbag!? That's Ms. Oldbag
to you!

-Phoenix
Ms. Oldbag was standing guard
alone at the main gate.

-Phoenix
She was by herself... in other
words, she has no alibi!

-Phoenix
She could have briefly left
her post to steal the
the Steel Samurai costume...

-Phoenix
Then slipped into Studio One,
the scene of the murder!

-Judge
W-why would she go through
the trouble of wearing
the Steel Samurai costume!?

-Phoenix
Simple, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
She knew the camera at the
gate would take her picture.

-Phoenix
If she was in his costume,
she could point the finger
at Mr. Powers!

-Judge
I see!

-Judge
Excellent deductive
reasoning, Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
(Ohhh yeah, right here!
Sherlock Holmes II, baby!)

-Phoenix
..?

-Phoenix
(That's odd.)

-Phoenix
(Isn't this the part where
Edgeworth pounces...?)

-Phoenix
(Doesn't he usually jump up
with an objection and some
new damning evidence...?)

-Judge
Well, Mr. Edgeworth?
Does the prosecution have an
opinion on this matter?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
The prosecution has no
meaningful objections
at this time.

-Oldbag
W-w-what!?
What's that supposed to mean!?

-Oldbag
Oh, so you all think
I did it? Is that it!?

-Oldbag
Edgey-boy! Don't just sit
there, do something!

-Phoenix
(What's my move?
Maybe now's my chance to
take this the whole way?)

***Press further****************************

***Give granny a break**********************

* make it look like she's
* the killer.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Funny, I feel bad for
* her all of a sudden.)
*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
*
* -Judge
* It's true that the witness

*
* -Judge
* Yet we must not forget that
* the victim was an action hero.
*
* -Judge
* As formidable as her

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

-Phoenix
The very same reasoning that
makes Mr. Powers a suspect
in this case...

-Phoenix
can be used to cast doubt
on Ms. Oldbag's actions on
that day!

-Oldbag
B-but why would I do something
so horrible to poor Hammer!?

-Phoenix
You forget that Mr. Powers
lacks a clear motive, too.

-Judge
Hmm...
Indeed.

-Phoenix
(That did it. Now windbag
is one of the suspects.)

-Phoenix
(No hard feelings...
I hope.)

-Oldbag
Wait just a minute!

-Oldbag
What about the other person
who went to the studio!?

-Oldbag
The boy! The one whose
photo I erased!

-Judge
He's only a grade schooler
though, as you said.
2nd or 3rd grade, was it?

-Oldbag
Th-that doesn't matter!

-Oldbag
When I was that age, I could
pin my old man in 10 seconds,
tops!

-Judge
Hmm...
Your thoughts, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
That boy is not the killer.

-Oldbag
What!?
How can you be so sure!

-Oldbag
Oh, or is it be nice to the
kids and mean to your elders
day? Whippersnapper!

-Phoenix
I have proof.

-Oldbag
P-proof!?

-Judge
Indeed? Then let's
see this proof, Mr. Wright.

-Judge
You have proof that shows
the boy could not have
committed this murder?

***Present something wrong******************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* This is my proof!
*
* -Judge
* ...
*
* -Judge
* I can't see how that has
* anything to do with this
* matter, Mr. Wright?
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge
* There aren't that many
* pieces of evidence in
* the Court Record.
*
* -Judge
* Please try not to pick
* the wrong ones!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
*
* -Judge
* I'll ask again, Mr. Wright.
*
* RETURN TO COURT RECORD
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
The murder weapon was
the Samurai Spear.

-Phoenix
That very spear is shown
here in this photo.

-Phoenix
How could the boy have taken
the spear? It's impossible!

-Judge
I see!

-Judge
Well, would the witness
care to comment on this?

-Oldbag
Mrph.

-Phoenix
(The windbag... speechless.
This has got to be a first.)

-Judge
Very well!

-Judge
This court will suspend
proceedings on the current
trial for today.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth, please find out
more about your witness, Ms.
Windy... what was her name?

-Edgeworth
Something "Oldbag," Your
Honor.

-Judge
Then the prosecution will
look further into this
Oldbag before we continue!

-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!

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

-Oldbag
W-wait a second!

-Oldbag
I'm not going to just sit
here while you run off barking
up the wrong tree... me!

-Oldbag
I'm talking!

-Maya
Oh, great, stop the presses!
The windbag wants to talk!

-Judge
Ms. Oldbag!
What is this all about?

-Judge
Have you omitted something
from your testimony?

-Oldbag
Actually, if you must know,
there's something I was told
not to talk about.

-Phoenix
N-not to talk about?

-Edgeworth
By whom!?

-Phoenix
(Huh? You mean it wasn't
Edgeworth who told her not
to talk...?)

-Judge
W-well, testify!

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- My Lips Were Sealed --

(1)
-Oldbag
Global Studios wanted me to
keep quiet about something.

(2)
-Oldbag
There were... some other
people at the studios on
the day of the murder.

(3)
-Oldbag
They said they had "nothing
to do with it," see?

(4)
-Oldbag
So they told me to just
pretend they "hadn't been
at the studios that day."

(5)
-Oldbag
But if you're going to go
accusing me, I'm not letting
them get away scot free!

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

-Judge
M-Ms. Oldbag!

-Judge
This is crucial information!
Why did you keep this from
the court until now!?

-Oldbag
Ain't you been listening?

-Oldbag
They told me to shut my
trap, and I always do what
I'm told.

-Judge

-Phoenix
(No, this isn't a bad dream,
Your Honor. Witness the power
of the Oldbag...)

-Judge
Mr. Wright...

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- My Lips Were Sealed --

(1)
-Oldbag
Global Studios wanted me to
keep quiet about something.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, you were told
  not to talk?

  -Oldbag
  That's right! By the studio
  and TV bigwigs, no less!

  -Edgeworth
  Why didn't I hear about this!?

  -Oldbag
  Don't be too hard on yourself,
  sonny. We were all in on it.

(2)
-Oldbag
There were... some other
people at the studios on
the day of the murder.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  W-who were these people!?

  -Oldbag
  Well, the director and
  the producer, for starters...

  -Phoenix
  The... director?

  -Edgeworth
  We should have known
  something was fishy!

  -Edgeworth
  How could they have done a
  run-through of their action
  scene without a director?

  -Edgeworth
  Of course!

  -Oldbag
  Yes, well, I was surprised
  no one asked about it.

  -Phoenix
  So, where were these people?

  -Oldbag
  The director was in the
  Employee Area all morning
  for the run-through.

  -Oldbag
  He joined the producer around
  lunchtime and they had a
  meeting after that.

  -Edgeworth
  Where!

  -Oldbag
  Oh, in the Studio Two trailer.

  -Phoenix
  S-Studio Two...!?
  (There was a Studio Two...?)

  -Oldbag
  Well, if you look at
  the guidemap...

  -Oldbag
  Here it is.

  -Oldbag
  You go through the gate
  and all the way to the left.

  -Phoenix
  (The path where the monkey's
  head was fallen over.)

  Well, Mr. Wright...

  -Oldbag

  -Oldbag
  Still, they were pretty
  convincing about having
  nothing to do with it.

  -Oldbag
  And... they gave me a little

Your Honor.

We have learned there were

on the day in question.

-Phoenix
The director and the

Yet, as we stand here, they

I hold that it is impossible
to declare a verdict on the

Hmm...

Aww, really, it's nothing.
*grin*

-Maya
Oh, or should I...
*sniff*

-Phoenix
We'll be going down to the
studios to do some more
investigation.

-Phoenix
We have to find out more
about this director and
producer.

-Phoenix
They'll be turning up in the
next trial as witnesses
for certain.

-Phoenix
So now's my chance to get
material for the
cross-examination!

-Maya
So, Nick...

-Maya
Have we figured out just
who it was in that Steel
Samurai costume?

-Maya
Could it really have
been old windbag?

-Phoenix
What do you think,
Mr. Powers?

-Will
I don't think it
was her, really.

-Maya
Neither do I, Nick.

-Phoenix
Y-yeah, I know! Look, I was
just buying time back there.

-Phoenix
Someone had to be the bad
guy for a bit to take the
pressure off Mr. Powers.

-Maya
Poor old windbag...
I feel kinda sorry for her.

-Phoenix
Well, she wasn't winning any
points in there, with or
without my accusation.

-Phoenix
Okay, let's get down
to the studios.

-Maya
Right! We'll be back to
visit you soon...

-Will
Th-thanks.
Thanks, guys. *sniff*

October 18
Wright & Co. Law Offices

-Phoenix
Whew, what a day.

-Maya
This is no time for
relaxing, Nick!

-Maya
Say, you think WP's
got a chance?

-Phoenix
I guess that really depends
on the people we found out
about in today's trial.

-Maya
The director and producer...?

-Phoenix
Yeah, them.

-Maya
Well, what are we doing
here then!? Let's get to
the studios!

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

***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, see this?
*
* -Maya
* You... really like showing
* that off, don't you, Nick?
*
********************************************

***Present Cardkey**************************
*
* -Maya
* Hey, you still have
* that! Great!
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, we couldn't get
* into the scene of the
* murder without it.
*
* -Phoenix
* And its owner isn't missing
* it in his detention cell...
*
* -Maya
* Poor old WP...
*
********************************************

***Present Powers's(?) Photo****************
*
* -Maya
* You know, what if this
* really was Mr. Powers?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. It's hard to say.
* We don't really know anyone
* else it could be.
*
* -Phoenix
* I seriously doubt it was
* that old windbag.
*
* -Maya
* So Mr. Powers is... lying?
*
* -Phoenix
* He really doesn't seem the
* type, does he. (Curiouser
* and curiouser...)
*
********************************************

***Present Samurai Spear********************
*
* -Maya
* I wish I had my own
* Samurai Spear!
*
* -Maya
* You'd by my own personal
* pincushion, Nick!
*
* -Phoenix
* Me!? Why me!?
*
********************************************

***Present other****************************
*
* -Maya
* Sorry, I don't know how
* that will help us figure
* this out.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "What to do"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you think
* we should do?
*
* -Maya
* W-what do I... huh!?
* Why don't we do what you
* just said!?
*
* -Maya
* We gotta get the scoop
* on this director and
* producer.
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, right. Then there's
* no point hanging out here.
*
* -Maya
* That's what I've been
* saying! Let's get to
* those studios pronto!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Any ideas"*******************
*
* -Maya
* Hmm.
*
* -Maya
* We don't have enough
* information to make
* a case yet.
*
* -Phoenix
* That's exactly the
* same thing you said
* yesterday!
*
* -Phoenix
* Just admit it: you don't
* have a clue what happened.
*
* -Maya
* There's not enough
* information!

MOVE TO: Detention Center

October 18
Detention Center
Visitor's Room

-Will
Oh, Mr. Wright!
Thank you for earlier.

-Phoenix
Not at all. We got lucky,
to tell the truth.

-Maya
You can say that again!

-Phoenix
Let's not.

-Maya
So, WP!

-Maya
Do you have any leads
that might get us going
in the right direction?

-Will
Hmm...

-Will
S-sorry, but no.

-Maya
Be sure to tell us anything
that comes to mind, no matter
how small.

-Phoenix
We can't rely on getting
lucky again tomorrow.

-Will
Y-yes... *sniff*

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

***Examine security guard*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* This guard monitors
* the visitor's room.
*
********************************************

***Present Cardkey**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* We found this cardkey
* in your dressing room.
*
* -Will
* Oh, that's mine, yes.
*
* -Maya
* Can people outside the
* studios get these cards?
*
* -Will
* I don't think so.
*
* -Will
* Even I have to return
* the card.
*
* -Will
* Once the show's done
* filming, that is.
*
* -Maya
* Huh...
*
********************************************

***Present Powers's(?) Photo****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Regarding this photograph...
*
* -Will
* Y-yes...?
*
* -Phoenix
* This really, truly, absolutely
* isn't you, right?
*
* -Will
* R-right. *sniff*
*
* -Will
* I was sleeping in my
* dressing room the
* whole time, honest.
*
* -Phoenix
* But who else could
* have worn it!?
*
* -Maya
* Your costume was in
* your dressing room?
*
* -Will
* Yes.
*
* -Will
* I guess they snuck in and
* took it while I was asleep.
*
* -Phoenix
* (But who!?)
*
********************************************

***Present Samurai Spear********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Regarding the murder weapon...
*
* -Will
* Yes?
*
* -Phoenix
* Is it heavy, that spear?
*
* -Will
* It's pretty hefty, yeah.
*
* -Will
* I don't think the average
* person would be able to
* swing it around effectively.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm...
*
* -Maya
* And... that's the spear that
* broke or something during
* the morning run-through?
*
* -Will
* Oh yes, I goofed on a round
* kick, you see...
*
* -Will
* I broke the spear.
*
* -Will
* The security lady fixed
* it for me right away though.
*
* -Maya
* With duct tape. We heard.
*
********************************************

***Present other****************************
*
* -Will
* E-excuse me.
*
* -Will
* Thank you for showing
* me that, whatever it is.
*
* -Will
* I wish I could think of some
* way I could help you...
*
* -Will
* S-sorry. *sniff*
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The fanboy"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Do, er, "fanboys" sneak
* into the studios often?
*
* -Will
* No, not that I know of.
*
* -Will
* That security lady's
* pretty strict with them.
*
* -Maya
* But, in today's testimony,
* didn't she say they were
* often hanging around?
*
* -Will
* The kids really, really
* love the Steel Samurai.
*
* -Will
* They sneak past when she's
* not looking, I guess.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The director"****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Was the director present
* at the morning run-through?
*
* -Will
* Y-yes, yes he was.
*
* -Will
* He was directing how the
* Steel Samurai and the Evil
* Magistrate should move.
*
* -Maya
* Why didn't you tell
* us that before!?
*
* -Will
* W-well, just, the studio
* asked us to keep quiet...
*
* -Maya
* That has nothing to
* do with this!
*
* -Maya
* I hate to repeat myself,
* but Nick here is a newbie
* lawyer! Fresh off the bar!
*
* -Maya
* When he loses, he's
* going to lose big!
*
* -Will
* I... I see. *sniff*
*
* -Phoenix
* (Whose side is she on!?)
*
* -Maya
* You aren't hiding anything
* else from us, are you!?
*
* -Will
* N-no, I sure hope not.

Global Studios
Main Gate

-Maya
No one's here.

-Phoenix
Right, now that they have
Ms. Oldbag in custody.

-Phoenix
I guess they don't have anyone
else to replace her...

-Maya
H-hey! In the guard station!
Look! She left her donuts!

-Maya
..

-Maya
..

-Maya
What?
I wasn't going to eat them!

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

***Examine guard station********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The security guard station.
*
* -Phoenix
* Ms. Oldbag must like junk
* food. There's a mountain
* of it on the desk in there.
*
********************************************

***Examine computer*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The computer that runs the
* studio security cameras.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? It looks like it's
* been turned off for the day.
*
********************************************

***Examine main gate************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The main entrance
* to the studios.
*
* -Phoenix
* They probably have a police
* officer on patrol out there.
*
********************************************

MOVE TO: Outside Studio One

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

October 18
Studio One Entrance

-Maya
Hey, Nick.

-Maya
It looks like Detective
Gumshoe isn't here today.

-Phoenix
You're right.

-Phoenix</pre><pre id="faqspan-10">
He's probably up to his neck
in paperwork after the
commotion at today's trial.

-Maya
So, Nick...

-Maya
Remember that "Studio Two"
we heard about at the trial
today?

-Maya
It was down that path
with the fallen tree, right?

-Phoenix
Yeah, I think that's
what they said.

-Maya
Maybe the director and
the rest of them are
there today?

-Maya
Now's our chance, Nick!
Let's check it out!

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

***Examine bench****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm bushed.
* Maybe I'll sit down here
* for a bit.
*
* -Maya
* This is exactly why I don't
* want to get old, ever.
*
* -Phoenix
* H-hey! I'm still young!
* I'm just tired!
*
* -Maya
* Nick, when you start having
* to say "I'm still young,"
* you know it's all over.
*
* -Phoenix
* (But... but I AM still young!)
*
********************************************

***Examine camera***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* That's the security camera
* that automatically takes
* pictures of people here.
*
* -Phoenix
* It took two pictures on the
* day of the murder, before
* the actual time of death.
*
* -Phoenix
* One of them was the Steel
* Samurai. The other was
* a grade school boy.
*
* -Phoenix
* It doesn't seem to be switched
* on today.
*
********************************************

***Examine WELCOME sign*********************
*
* -Maya
* It says "Welcome."
*
* -Phoenix
* They let people in here
* when they're not filming,
* right?
*
* -Maya
* Nick! Let's come here
* some day! Whaddya say?
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure, if that security lady
* lets us in.
*
********************************************

***Examine mascot***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The studio mascot.
*
* -Phoenix
* Apparently it's a monkey
* of some kind.
*
* -Phoenix
* I've never seen a monkey
* with a nose like that before!
*
* -Maya
* Why don't they
* put his head back on?
*
* -Maya
* Maybe we should ask
* that assistant?
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm not sure we really
* want her fixing anything.
*
* -Phoenix
* And you'd probably need
* a crane to move that thing.
*
* -Maya
* Probably so.
*
********************************************

***Examine path to the left*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* In the trial, they said
* Studio Two was down this path.
*
* -Phoenix
* The monkey head is in the way,
* but we should be able to
* get by it without a problem.
*
* -Maya
* This monkey head
* is real heavy!
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, it did knock that tree
* over when it fell.
*
* -Maya
* Both of these, the monkey head
* and the tree, fell the day
* of the murder, didn't they.
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, that's what Detective
* Gumshoe said.
*
********************************************

***Examine Studio One entrance**************
*
* -Phoenix
* The entrance to Studio One.
*
* -Phoenix
* This is the studio where they
* found Jack Hammer's body.
*
********************************************

MOVE TO: Inside Studio One

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

October 18
Studio One

-Maya
I... don't really want
to be in here.

-Phoenix
Yeah...
It is a murder scene.

-Maya
I want to go someplace else.
Nick?

-Phoenix
(*sigh*...)

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

***Examine backdrop*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like a backdrop
* for a stage.
*
* -Phoenix
* This must be used in
* the Steel Samurai show.
*
* -Maya
* Of course! That's the
* mountain, Neo Fujiyama!
*
* -Phoenix
* Doesn't the Steel Samurai take
* place in Olde Tokyo? Can you
* even see Mt. Fuji from there?
*
* -Maya
* Not Olde Tokyo, Nick!
* "Neo" Olde Tokyo!
*
********************************************

***Examine white board**********************
*
* -Pheonix
* That's for reflecting light.
* They call it a reflecting
* screen or something like that.
*
* -Maya
* Huh.
*
* -Phoenix
* What? Where's your
* enthusiasm for all
* things entertainment?
*
* -Maya
* Well, lighting is fine, but
* I'd want to be the director.
* Or maybe the Steel Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think she's being
* serious...!)
*
********************************************

***Examine cameras**************************
*
* -Maya
* Wow, look at that camera!
* That must cost a ton!
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah! So don't touch it!
*
* -Maya
* Hey, smile, Nick,
* you're a star!
*
* -Phoenix
* S-stop that!

MOVE TO: Outside Studio One
        Outside Studio Two

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

October 18
Studio Two Entrance

-Maya
This... is Studio Two?

-Phoenix
I thought so...

-Maya
It doesn't really look
much like a "studio,"
does it?

-Phoenix
No, that it does not.

-Maya
Hey...
There's a trailer over there.

-Phoenix
It looks pretty sturdy
for a movie set trailer.

-Maya
Are we sure this is
a studio?

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

***Examine van******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A light van for moving
* staff and equipment around.
*
* -Phoenix
* They've kept it in pretty
* good shape. Looks like it'd
* run fine.
*
* -Maya
* Well, let's go for a drive!
*
* -Phoenix
* Sure... if I had a license.
*
* -Maya
* Nick! You don't have
* a driver's license!?
*
* -Phoenix
* But, look, I have this!
*
* -Maya
* Why are you showing me
* your attorney's badge, Nick?
*
********************************************

***Examine incinerator**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* An incinerator. Apparently
* they just put this one in.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's already covered in soot.
* They must not clean it much.
*
********************************************

***Examine "2"******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a big "2" painted
* here.
*
* -Maya
* Probably because this
* is Studio Two?
*
* -Phoenix
* Probably...
* Though it doesn't look
* anything like a studio.
*
********************************************

***Examine table****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like two people
* ate here.
*
* -Phoenix
* There's nothing left
* on the plates.
*
* -Maya
* Hey, so they ate t-bone
* steaks too.
*
* -Phoenix
* What is it with
* steaks around here?
*
* -Maya
* Hey! There's always room
* for steak!
*
* -Maya
* But... something does
* seem out of place...
*
* -Phoenix
* What?
*
* -Maya
* I... don't know. It just
* feels "odd."
*
********************************************

***Examine storage materials****************
*
* -Phoenix
* These look like materials
* for making a movie set.
*
* -Maya
* They've been sitting here
* for quite some time.
*
* -Maya
* This might as well
* be a junkyard.
*
********************************************

***Examine garden***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There're some flowers here.
*
* -Maya
* Wow, so pretty!
* They're taking good care
* of these.
*
* -Phoenix
* Don't get to close. That
* fence looks dangerous.
*
********************************************

***Examine trailer**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* On closer inspection, this
* trailer looks like it's been
* here for a while.
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't think this is part
* of some temporary film set.
*
********************************************

***Examine trailer door*********************
*
* -Maya
* Nick! Let's go inside!
*
* -Phoenix
* You think it's okay...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh well.
* It's locked.
*
* -Maya
* Aww... shucks.

Look, it's that assistant
girl.

-Maya
Hey!

-Penny
Hi... WP's lawyers, right?

-Penny
I heard about the trial!
Great job, guys!

-Phoenix
Oh? Oh hoh hoh.
Don't mention it.

-Penny
Is it true they caught
the security lady!?

-Phoenix
Oh! Oh... oh hoh hoh!

-Penny
Actually, she just
called me.

-Penny
She told me to cover
up that drain...

-Phoenix
You mean that one?

-Phoenix
(Wow, what a mess...)

-Penny
I... I know...

-Penny
I'm not so good with
handiwork. Some
assistant, right?

-Maya
Yeah, but you do work on
the props, and the back-
drops, right?

-Penny
R-right.

-Penny
Just... lots of times they
end up looking worse than
they did before I fixed them.

-Maya
Oh? Oh! Well, I'm sure these
things happen. Nothing to
worry yourself about!

-Penny
You're right!
I won't!

-Phoenix
(Personally, I think she
should worry at least
a little bit more...)

-Penny
Um, if you'll excuse me,
I have to go to the
guard station.

-Penny
I'm supposed to fill
in for Ms. Oldbag.

Maya
Right! See you later, then!

-Penny
Good luck with your
investigation.

***Examine nearest table********************

* -Phoenix
* The remains of yesterday's

* There's a t-bone on one of

* H-hey! We're not thieves!

* Huh. It's so... normal.

* I was expecting some cool

* Popcorn, at least!

* W-wait! Look!
* "Samurai Soda"!

* Nick! Try this!

* So, the fanboy they were
* talking about in the trial
* today...
*
* -Maya
* He came in through
* that drain?
*
* -Phoenix
* So it seems.
* I guess they covered
* it up in a hurry.
*
* -Maya
* Hey...
* Hey, Nick!
*
* -Maya
* If that drain's covered,
* the boy won't be able to
* get in.
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh, yeah. I think that
* was the idea...?
*
* -Maya
* I feel kinda sorry
* for him, though.
* Don't you?
*
* -Phoenix
* What, you want to

*
* -Maya
* Really, Nick?
* We can!?

This is where the Steel
Samurai costume was,
on the day of the murder.

-Phoenix
That's what Mr. Powers
says, at least.

-Phoenix
I guess they snuck in and
took it while he was sleeping.

-Maya
But Nick, what if Mr. Powers
hadn't been sleeping?

I wonder what the killer

Huh...

Oh... hello.

-Maya
Ho hoh! You look a
little out of place.

-Penny
It's the clothes, isn't it?

-Penny
I thought my camo
vest might to the trick...

-Penny
Kind of an "alternative
guard fashion" thing.

***Examine guard station********************
*
* -Phoenix
* The security guard station.
*
* -Phoenix
* I can see the computer that
* runs the security cameras.
*
* -Penny
* Oh, please don't touch

* Wow, they gave a lawyer

*
* -Phoenix
* Well, I'm sort of

* I see.
*
* -Penny
* You better be careful

* -Penny
* They're very strict

*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks, I'll be careful.

* That's Mr. Powers.

* Yeah, it's a prop, but it's

* -Penny
* I hate having to carry

* -Penny
* There's polcie wandering

*
* -Penny
* They won't even let me

*
* -Penny
* I haven't even cleaned up

*
* -Penny
* Oh, sorry...
*
* -Penny
* I was in the prop storage
* room, so I didn't see them.
*
* -Penny
* I guess they were
* here, though.
*
* -Penny
* The studio head seemed pretty
* eager to keep us quiet.
*
* -Maya
* So they were trying
* to protect the director?
*
* -Penny
* More the producer, really.
*
* -Penny
* The producer's our real
* star here.
*
* -Penny
* She saved these studios from
* the brink of disaster and
* kept them running.
*
* -Penny
* I don't think we'd still

* for that producer!

No. But there's probably

Oh the police took me

They pulled out a spare

Told me to "put it on."

How could I, a sweet little

Mr. Powers is pretty tall...

* -Phoenix
* Oh, right, that...
* (What an original name...)
*
* -Vasquez
* Its head fell over in the wind
* on the day of the murder.
*
* -Vasquez
* They didn't start moving
* the head out of the way
* until after 3:00.
*
* -Vasquez
* It was after 4:00 by the

*
* -Vasquez
* Capice?
*
* -Vasquez
* Everyone in this trailer
* was stuck here until
* the path was cleared.
*
* -Vasquez
* Stuck in this trailer.
* Stuck until afer 4:00.
*
* -Vasquez
* Hammer died at 2:30.
*
* -Vasquez
* This, none of us could
* have gone to Studio One.
*
* -Maya
* W-what!?
*
* -Vasquez
* It's true.
*
* -Vasquez
* A crane came just after
* 3:00 to move the head.
*
* -Vasquez
* We called some people in to
* clear the way. I'm sure they'd
* corroborate my story.
*
* -Phoenix
* B-but wait!
*
* -Phoenix
* What if the head fell
* over after 2:30?
*
* -Phoenix
* Then you could have

That's "Mr. Monkey."

When it wasn't broken,

One "ook" per hour.
Ook ook ook ook.
Always with the ooking.

(It IS a monkey, after all.

-Vasquez
Check its head.

-Vasquez
The clock inside stopped

-Maya
Nick, it's stopped at 2:15.

-Phoenix
2:15...?

-Vasquez
That's right.

-Vasquez
This path was blocked from
2:15 till after 4:00.

-Vasquez
Therefore, we're innocent.

Mr. Hammer died in Studio One
at 2:30...

See?
Good bye.

We're fresh out of clues.

Everyone's alibi is water-

Things are looking

Huh?

You've got one lead...

M-Mia! It's you!

What took you so long!?

-Mia
Sorry, Phoenix.

-Mia
Maya has trouble calling me

trouble.

Right! Oh, wait. I guess
that means we're really
in trouble.

I'd say so.

What did you mean, we

The boy, of course.

Yeah, I saw 'em.
I saw everything!

What!?

But...but no way am
I telling you losers!

I dunno. He didn't sound

us at all.

I'm sure you can find
some way of bringing
him over to your side.

There.
He's back.

Hey there. Would you
mind helping us out?

-Mia
Please?

-Cody

-Cody
I-I'm Cody.

Hello, Cody.
I'm Mia. Mia Fey.

-Mia
Nice to meet you.

-Cody
Yo.

-Phoenix
And I'm Phoenix Wright!

-Cody
Who asked?

-Mia
Phoenix, you can
take it from here.

-Phoenix
(I'm not so sure
I'm qualified...)

***Examine cosmetics************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's an array of
* cosmetics here.
*
* -Phoenix
* According to Maya, that
* wig was used in some old
* TV show...
*
* -Cody
* You don't know "Samurai
* Boogey-Woogey"!?
*
* -Cody
* You're even lamer
* than I thought!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Why does everybody but
* me know about this show!?)
*
********************************************

***Examine table****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a box of snacks
* on the table, and some cans
* of soda.
*
* -Phoenix
* They're all empty.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm glad Maya isn't here
* to see this. She'd be
* devastated.
*
* -Mia
* Sorry?
* What was that about Maya?
*
* -Phoenix
* O-oh, nothing.
*
********************************************

***Examine bag******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Powers's bag.
*
* -Mia
* Now, Phoenix, it's not polite
* to look through other people's
* belongings.
*
* -Phoenix
* H-hey, don't look at me!
* (Tell that to your sister!)
*
********************************************

***Present Powers's(?) Photo****************
*
* -Cody
* Hey, it's the Steel Samurai.
*
* -Cody
* Huh? Why's he dragging
* his foot like that?
*
* -Cody
* Where'd you get this,
* anyway?
*
********************************************

***Present Samurai Spear********************
*
* -Cody
* The Samurai Spear!
* That's totally cool.
*
* -Cody
* I wish I had one, too...
*
* -Phoenix
* (This kid and Maya
* would get along great.)
*
********************************************

***Present Steel Samurai Card***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Cody...
* This look familiar?
*
* -Cody
* Hey! My UR!
*
* -Phoenix
* "You are"... huh?
*
* -Cody
* "U.R." You know, "ultra rare"!
* That card's really hard to
* get!
*
* -Cody
* Man, for a grown-up,
* you sure are dumb!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'll give you this...
* IF you help me.
*
* -Cody
* But that's my card!
* By offering me something I
* already own, you're in effect
*
* -Cody
* eschewing the very basis of
* our consumer society, namely
* the principle of fair trade!
*
* -Cody
* Man, for a grown-up,
* you sure are dumb!
*
* -Phoenix
* (W-what do they teach these
* kids in school these days!?
* Quantum physics!?)
*
* -Cody
* Whatever, I don't need
* that card.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh?
*
* -Cody
* I got a double.
*
* -Cody
* Just keep it.
* It's yours.
*
* -Phoenix
* (What!? After I went through
* all that trouble...)
*
* -Cody
* If you want to trade,
* find me a REALLY rare
* card!
*
* -Phoenix
* "Really rare"!?
* You mean there's something
* rarer than "Ultra Rare"!?
*
* -Cody
* Ultra Rare Premium cards
* are way rarer than plain
* Ultra Rare cards! Come ON!
*
* -Cody
* Man, for a grown-up,
* you sure are dumb!
*
* -Phoenix
* Premium... rare... why do I
* feel like we're talking about
* steaks?
*
********************************************

***Present other****************************
*
* -Cody
* What's that?
* Bo-ring!
*
* -Cody
* Man, how can one person be so
* lame!? If you were a superhero
* you'd be Lame-o-man!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The Steel Samurai"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* The Steel Samurai's so cool.
* I think he's the, um, the
* "bomb."
*
* -Cody
* Hah! What would a lamer like
* you know about the Steel
* Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* H-hey, watch that attitude!
*
* -Mia
* Phoenix, you really
* should't yell like that.
* He's only a kid.
*
* -Cody
* Yeah! Don't yell like that
* I'm only a kid!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "What happened"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* So, do you know anything
* about what happened here?
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell me, please?
*
* -Cody
* I don't know nothing!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm... looks like a little
* persuasion's necessary.
* Maybe a bribe...?)

* * I... I see.
* *
* * -Penny
* * O-of course.
* *
* * -Penny
* * Of course it wouldn't

* *
* * -Penny
* * Of course you couldn't

* *
* * -Penny
* * Of course I won't ever
* * get that card, ever.
* *
* * -Penny
* * Of course I don't even

*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. Yeah, it does.

***Talk about "The fanboy"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Have you seen that boy
* since then?
*
* -Penny
* Nope.
*
* -Penny
* You missed it, though.
*
* -Penny
* The security lady was chasing
* around after the boy so
* fast I thought she'd collapse.
*
* -Penny
* Of course, he got away in
* the end. Boy, was she mad!
*
* -Phoenix
* Actually, we saw them.
* How's the old windbag doing?
*
* -Penny
* She was squeezing donuts
* through her clenched fists
* back at the guard station.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Some people take their
* jobs a little too seriously.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Mr. Hammer"******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Are all the posters on the
* wall here of Hammer?
*
* -Penny
* Yes. It's really a terrible
* loss for the studios.
*
* -Phoenix
* But... his popularity had
* been waning recently, right?
*
* -Penny
* That's true.
*
* -Penny
* Then again, after what
* happened...
*
* -Phoenix
* After WHAT happened?
*
* -Penny
* Y-you mean, you don't know
* about Hammer...?
*
* -Phoenix
* No, what?
*
* -Penny
* I-I'm sorry.
*
* -Penny
* I shouldn't have said
* anything.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "What happened?"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait, now you have to
* tell me. What happened
* with Hammer?
*
* -Penny
* I-I'm sorry.
*
* -Penny
* I'm probably not the one

***Talk about "What you saw"****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Cody... I need to ask

*
* -Phoenix
* What did you see on the
* day of the incident?
*
* -Cody
* ...
*
* -Cody
* I got here that day
* around 2:00...
*
* -Cody
* I had to come in through
* the woods out back so that
* old lady wouldn't see me.
*
* -Cody
* I got kinda lost, though.
* I was in there for maybe
* a half hour or so.
*
* -Cody
* Then I finally got
* to the studio.
*
* -Cody
* After that...
*
* -Mia
* What is it, Cody?
*
* -Cody
* Th-the Steel Samurai killed
* the bad guy!
*
* -Cody
* He used his Samurai Spear!
* Just like always! One shot,
* one kill!
*
* -Cody
* It happened so fast...
* I got scared.
*
* -Cody
* I went home after that.
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I see.
* It must have been hard
* for you.
*
* -Cody
* Man, you say those nice things
* but it's so obvious you aren't
* speaking from the heart.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Umm... right.)
* Mia?
*
* -Mia
* Yes?
*
* -Phoenix
* I think we can say for sure
* this means the Steel Samurai
* did it.
*
* -Mia
* True enough.
*
* -Phoenix
* And the director has an
* alibi, so it wasn't him.
*
* -Mia
* Indeed.
*
* -Phoenix
* So... the only person left
* who it could have been is
* Will Powers!
*
* -Mia
* ...
*
* -Mia
* I have to admit, it's kind
* of a shock.
*
* -Mia
* But if you put this boy on
* the witness stand, your client
* will be "guilty" for sure.
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's not call him then...
*
* -Mia
* I think that would be wise.
* Best to leave this one alone.
*
* -???
* Not so fast, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* I heard everything!
*
* -Gumshoe
* This boy here's
* a key witness!
*
* -Gumshoe
* And he's under police
* protection, starting now!
*
* -Gumshoe
* C'mon, son.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You've got a rendezvous

*
* -Cody
* No! I ain't going!
*
* -Cody
* Waah!
*
* -Mia
* ...
*
* -Mia
* That didn't go so well.
*
* -Mia
* We're back to zero leads.
*
* -Mia
* And now we have a serious
* handicap in court.
*
* -Phoenix
* W-what're we going to do, Mia!
*
* -Mia
* Well, hmm...
*
* -Mia
* I... really need to be going.
*
* -Mia
* Don't worry, Phoenix.
* I'm sure you'll be fine!
*
* -Phoenix
* Whoa whoa whoa!
*
* -Phoenix
* C-come to the trial
* tomorrow, please!
* I need you there!
*

* Phoenix, can I ask you

October 19, 9:42 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 1

-Will
..

-Will
..

-Will
Umm... Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes?

-Will
Why do you look
so... unhappy?

-Phoenix
O-oh! Oh, nothing!
Eh heh heh.

-Phoenix
Really, it's nothing.

-Phoenix
Right, Mia?

-Phoenix
(Uh oh. She looks even
unhappier...)

-Mia
Phoenix.

-Mia
Your client is now practically
a dead man walking...

-Mia
Perhaps that's why I feel
particularly close to him.

-Phoenix
This is no time for dead-
people jokes, please.

-Mia
You know we're going into this
trial utterly defenseless.

-Mia
Yet, if Mr. Powers is
truly innocent...

-Mia
We should be able to find
something overlooked in the
evidence to prove it.

-Phoenix
Something "overlooked"...?

-Mia
We have to find something,
Phoenix, today.

-Mia
It's that, or lose the trial.

-Phoenix
(This isn't going to be easy.)

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

October 19, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4

-Judge
The court is now in
session for the trial
of Mr. Will Powers.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Edgeworth, your
opening statement, please.

-Edgeworth
An unexpected fact has come
to the attention of the court.

-Edgeworth
Yesterday, we learned that
there were other people
present at the studios!

-Edgeworth
Today, I would like to show
evidence proving they had
nothing to do with the murder.

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
You may call your first
witness, Mr. Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
(I wonder if that producer
is going to come out...)

-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls
Mr. Sal Manella to the stand.

-Phoenix
(... or that director.)

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

-Edgeworth
Will the witness state
his name and profession?

-Manella
..

-Manella
How r00d can j00 get!

-Manella
J00 don't know ME!?

-Manella
I'm the director! I make
the Steel Samurai, n00b! ROFL!

-Edgeworth
..

-Manella
S... Sal Manella.
I'm a director.
Television.

-Judge
Were you at Global Studios
on the day of the murder?

-Manella
Y-yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Very well. Please testify
to the court about the
events of that day.

-Mia
Phoenix.

-Mia
Let's start by picking this
testimony apart.

-Mia
If Powers is innocent,
you know what that means.

-Mia
Someone in the trailer
on that day did it!

-Phoenix
R-right.
(She doesn't waste any time
putting on the pressure!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Day of the Murder --

(1)
-Manella
I was at the studios from
around 9:00 that morning.

(2)
-Manella
During the morning, I was
doing... umm... an action
scene run-through.

(3)
-Manella
It took a lot more time
than I thought it would.

(4)
-Manella
I hear that everyone else
ate lunch in the Employee
Area...

(5)
-Manella
But I had a meeting in the
Studio Two trailer, so I ended
up skipping lunch.

(6)
-Manella
We were in the meeting
until around 4:00...

(7)
-Manella
During the meeting, well,
I'm pretty sure no one
left their chairs.

-Manella
That's about it.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
The time of Mr. Hammer's
death was 2:30 PM.

-Judge
And according to your
testimony, you were in
a meeting at that time.

-Judge
Mr. Wright, you may begin
your cross-examination.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Day of the Murder --

(1)
-Manella
I was at the studios from
around 9:00 that morning.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Is that when you always
  come in to work?

  -Manella
  Oh, oh no. I come in all
  sort of hours. It's the
  "industry" way.

  -Phoenix
  (Yeah, I know all about
  the freaks in your
  "industry"...)

  -Manella
  Still, FWIW, I was pretty
  busy all that day. :(

  -Edgeworth
  Tell us more about that.

(2)
-Manella
During the morning, I was
doing... umm... an action
scene run-through.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  In the Employee Area?

  -Manella
  That's right.

  -Manella
  It was a fight scene between
  the Steel Samurai and the
  Evil Magistrate.

  -Phoenix
  Was anyone else at
  the run-through?

  -Manella
  Oh, yeah. That security lady
  was sitting there watching
  the whole thing. LOL.

  -Manella
  She was cheering on Hammer,
  if you can believe it.

  -Phoenix
  (She certainly has the
  lungs for it...)

  -Phoenix
  Anyone else?

  -Manella
  Nope, just us four.

(3)
-Manella
It took a lot more time
than I thought it would.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why did it go on so long?

  -Manella
  Um, I'm pretty sure j00've
  already heard about this...

  -Manella
  But WP twisted his ankle
  during the run-through, see...

  -Phoenix
  (Oh, right, thus the limp.)

  -Manella
  Which of course lef to me
  missing my lunch. ROFS!

  -Phoenix
  (ROFS? Rolling on the Floor...
  Starving?)

(4)
-Manella
I hear that everyone else
ate lunch in the Employee
Area...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What exactly did they
  have for lunch?

  -Manella
  T-bone steak!
  The assistant cooked some up.

  -Phoenix
  (Come to think of it, there
  was a plate with some bones
  on it in the Employee Area.)

  -Edgeworth
  "Everyone else" meaning
  that the witness did not
  eat with them.

(5)
-Manella
But I had a meeting in the
Studio Two trailer, so I ended
up skipping lunch.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, in the end, you didn't
  get to eat?

  -Manella
  Yeah. No steak, at least!
  Can j00 believe it?

  -Phoenix
  That must have been tough.

  -Mia
  Phoenix.

  -Phoenix
  Yeah?

  -Mia
  Doesn't something about
  that seem odd to you?

  ***Not at all*******************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Well, no, not really.
  * Seems pretty straightforward.
  *
  * -Mia
  * Oh. Perhaps I was wrong, then.
  *
  ********************************************

  ***It's a little vague**********************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Actually, there is something
  * bothering me.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Mr. Manella, just now you
  * said "steak, at least."
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * So you ate something
  * other than steak?
  *
  * -Manella
  * Yeah, good call!
  *
  * -Manella
  * I had some chocolate in
  * my pocket, which I used to
  * stave off starvation!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * I see...
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Is that all? I was sure
  * I was on to something there.)
  *
  ********************************************

  ***It's contradictory***********************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Yeah, it does seem odd,
  * now that you mention it.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Mr. Manella!
  *
  * -Manella
  * H-hmm?
  * W-what do j00 mean? *sweats*
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * When I went to that trailer,
  * I saw something on the table.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * There were two plates on the
  * table--the same kind of plates
  * as in the Employee Area.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Who ate lunch there?
  *
  * -Manella
  * M-mmpf!
  *
  * -Manella
  * No, er, ah, um, eh
  * heh. Good call! *sweats*
  *
  * -Manella
  * I, er, I was embarrassed so
  * I didn't mention it...
  *
  * -Manella
  * But I did eat, after all.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * A t-bone steak, you mean?
  *
  * -Manella
  * Yeah, well, I mean the
  * assistant went through
  * all that trouble...
  *
  * -Manella
  * I brought it to the trailer
  * thinking I could eat it later.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Clearly a man who likes
  * to eat. I'd suspected
  * as much...)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * So, when exactly did
  * you eat it?
  *
  * -Manella
  * We took one break during
  * that meeting.
  *
  * -Manella
  * I, er, wolfed it down then.
  * *drool*
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (A mental image I will carry
  * with me to my grave...)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Wait a second...!)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (If they took a break in that
  * meeting, that contradicts
  * his testimony!)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'll press on that one
  * a bit more...)
  *
  * SWITCH PRESS #7 TO VERSION 2
  *
  ********************************************

(6)
-Manella
We were in the meeting
until around 4:00...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What were you discussing?

  -Manella
  The Steel Samurai story,
  and our budget.

  -Manella
  Get this! The sponsors turn
  to me and say, "Mr. Manella."

  -Manella
  "Those scripts of yours are
  not appropriate for children."
  Can j00 believe it!?

  -Phoenix
  (Actually, I kind of can.)

  -Phoenix
  So, nobody left the table
  during the whole meeting?

(7)
-Manella
During the meeting, well,
I'm pretty sure no one
left their chairs.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You didn't take a single
  break?

  -Manella
  Er... well...

  -Manella
  Y-yeah!
  Not a one! *sweats*

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... what's he sweating
  so much about, I wonder?)

  -Phoenix
  (If only I had an idea...)

  VERSION 1

  -Phoenix
  (I'll wait for one to come
  up and hit him with it
  later.)

  VERSION 2

  -Phoenix
  (Wait a second...)

  -Phoenix
  (Maybe I do have an idea!)

  ***Press harder*****************************

  * END CROSS-EXAMINATION

  ***Leave him be*****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (No, on second thought,
  * I'm drawing a blank.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (If I press too hard in the
  * wrong place, I'll just end
  * up scaring him into silence.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Maybe I'll just sit back

-Mia
Phoenix.

-Mia
If his alibi holds,
Powers is finished.

-Mia
Press him as hard as
you can and find out
where he's lying!

-Phoenix
R-right!

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

-Phoenix
Wait a second!

-Phoenix
Mr. Manella, you've just
contradicted yourself!

-Phoenix
Didn't you just tell the court
that you ate that t-bone
steak during a break?

-Manella
Oops! ROFL!

-Phoenix
Well?

-Manella
Umm...

-Judge
Mr. Manella, what's this
all about?

-Manella
W-well, yeah, I guess
we did take a little break.

-Mia
Phoenix!
Great job!

-Mia
If they took a break, one
of them could have gone to
the studio during that time!

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
I call on the witness to
testify to the court about
this break!

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Mr. Manella, your
testimony, please.

-Manella
Urk!

-Edgeworth
Heh heh heh...

-Phoenix
(Uh oh. Edgeworth is
laughing...)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Break --

(1)
-Manella
Yeah, FWIW, we took a break...
ROFL!

(2)
-Manella
But it was only 15 minutes!
15! That's only 13 in Base 12!

(3)
-Manella
Not enough time for someone
to, say, commit murder in
Studio One! LOL!

(4)
-Manella
That's only just enough time
to eat a t-bone steak, if
you ask me! *steams*

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
I don't think it would even
be enough time for that,
but that's just me.

-Judge
Very well. You may begin
the cross-examination.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Break --

(1)
-Manella
Yeah, FWIW, we took a break...
ROFL!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What time exactly did you
  take this break?

  -Manella
  Hmm...

  -Manella
  I'd say it was from around
  2:30 or so untl 2:45.

  -Phoenix
  (2:30!!!)

  -Phoenix
  (That's the time of death!)

  -Phoenix
  (So he could have gone to
  Studio One, killed Hammer,
  and come back...)

  -Phoenix
  (I guess it's possible,
  time-wise...)

  -Edgeworth
  ...

(2)
-Manella
But it was only 15 minutes!
15! That's only 13 in Base 12!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What were you doing for
  those 15 minutes?

  -Manella
  Eating my t-bone steak!
  What else!?

  -Phoenix
  There were two plates on
  the trailer table...?

  -Manella
  Oh, right. The other one
  was Diva's... sorry, Dee
  Vasquez's plate.

  -Phoenix
  (Dee Vasquez... the producer.)

  -Edgeworth
  To eat a t-bone steak in
  15 minutes... that's quite
  a feat.

(3)
-Manella
Not enough time for someone
to, say, commit murder in
Studio One! LOL!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why is that?

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION

(4)
-Manella
That's only just enough time
to eat a t-bone steak, if
you ask me! *steams*

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  I have to say, you look like
  a guy who gets through his
  meals pretty fast.

  -Manella
  Well, I was facing a cold,
  slightly chewy t-bone steak...

  -Manella
  Even I have to take my time
  eating that kind of food. LOL

-Mia
Well, Phoenix?

-Phoenix
That testimony was too short
to wring any kind of useful
information out of!

-Mia
All you have to do is prove
that he was able to go to
Studio One in that time!

-Phoenix
(Oh, great. Is that all...)

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

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Haven't we had enough of this
pointless line of questioning?

-Edgeworth
Your Honor!

-Edgeworth
The testimony to this point
has made one certain fact
painfully clear:

-Edgeworth
The people in the trailer
had nothing to do with this
murder!

-Edgeworth
It was impossible for any
of them to go to Studio One!

-Phoenix
What!?

-Edgeworth
Something wrong, Mr. Wright?

-Edgeworth
Surely you aren't suggesting
one of the people in the
trailer went to Studio One!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?

-Mia
Phoenix, this is critical!

-Mia
Think about it before
you give your answer!

-Judge
Do you claim someone from the
trailer went to Studio One?

***I claim it, and claim it loud************
*
* -Phoenix
* (If I agree to let everyone
* in that trailer off the hook
* then the trial is over...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Mr. Powers will be
* found guilty for sure!)
*
* -Phoenix
* The victim was murdered
* at 2:30, the exact time
* of the break in the meeting.
*
* -Phoenix
* With 15 minutes, murder
* is certainly a possibility!
*
* -Judge
* Hmm...
*
* -Judge
* I suppose you might
* say that...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Alright, I've got the judge
* thinking now!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Tsk, tsk, tsk...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Never a dull moment with
* you, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Phoenix
* What's your point, Edgeworth!
*
* -Edgeworth
* You've been doing your
* homework, haven't you?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Look at the Court Record.
*
* -Phoenix
* The Court Record...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Surely, you knew that from
* 2:15 to 4:00 the path between
* the studios was blocked?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mrs. Monkey's head had
* fallen across the path!
*
* -Phoenix
* Whoa! You're right!
*
* -Edgeworth
* True, the break in the trailer
* meeting came right at the
* time of death...
*
* -Edgeworth
* However!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The path from there to
* the scene of the crime
* was blocked!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The fallen Mrs. Monkey head
* barred the way!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (It's actually "Mr. Monkey,"
* but Edgeworth has a point...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (And somehow, I feel no
* desire to correct him.)
*
* -Judge
* No counter-argument,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Judge
* Then I'm afraid you lose
* this round.
*
********************************************

***No, it's impossible**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* (I don't want to write off
* so many possible suspects...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (But I can't keep claiming
* the impossible, either...)
*
* -Phoenix
* I agree that it was impossible
* for anyone in the trailer to
* go to the studio in that time.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ha hah!
*
* -Edgeworth
* I thought you might be
* thoughtlessly treading on
* thin ice again!
*
* -Edgeworth
* But I see you had at least
* an inkling of the truth.
*
* -Judge
* What do you mean,
* Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's quite simple...
*
* -Edgeworth
* True, the break in the trailer
* meeting came right at the
* time of death...
*
* -Edgeworth
* However!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The path from there to
* the scene of the crime
* was blocked!
*
* -Edgeworth
* The fallen Mrs. Monkey head
* barred the way!
*
* -Edgeworth
* At around 2:15, a strong
* gust of wind knocked off
* the studio mascot's head.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ergo!
*
* -Edgeworth
* When the people in the trailer
* took a break at 2:30, the
* way to the studio was blocked.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Blocked... by Mrs. Monkey's
* severed head!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (It's actually "Mr. Monkey,"
* but Edgeworth has a point...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (And somehow, I feel no
* desire to correct him.)
*
********************************************

-Edgeworth
I believe we have seen
enough evidence.

-Edgeworth
I would like to relieve
Mr. Manella from the stand.

-Phoenix
(Wh-what? It's over?)

-Judge
Very well.
The court's opinion on this
case is as follows:

-Judge
We have found that there were
several other people in Studio
2 on the day of the murder.

-Judge
However, it is also clear that
none of these people could
have gone to Studio One.

-Judge
They therefore have no
relation to this case.

-Jduge
Furthermore, with regards
to the photo of the Steel
Samurai...

-Judge
Given the size of the costume,
no one other than Mr. Powers
could have worn it that day.

-Judge
All that is lacking is
decisive evidence that
he is the one who did it.

-Judge
If we had that, I'm afraid
I would have to find Mr.
Powers guilty.

-Edgeworth
Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution is pleased to
announce that we indeed have
decisive evidence: a witness.

-Judge
Who is this witness,
Mr. Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
My witness saw the very
moment when the Steel Samurai
skewered the victim!

-Judge
Order! I will have order!

-Judge
I see.

-Judge
The court will take a 10
minute recess, after which we
will hear your witness.

-Judge
Court is adjourned for
recess!

-Mia
..

-Phoenix
What do we do now, Mia?

-Phoenix
If everyone in that trailer
has an alibi...

-Mia
..

-Mia
I'm sorry, Phoenix.

-Mia
I guess I was wrong.

-Phoenix
M-Mia!

-Phoenix
Don't tell me you're giving
up! If you give up, what
hope do I have...?

-Mia
..

-Mia
Don't get me wrong.

-Mia
I've never given up on a trial
before, not while there was
a chance.

-Mia
Only one thing became clear
in your cross-examination.

-Mia
The people in the trailer
could not have gone to
Studio One.

-Mia
I thought there was more
to it than that...

-Mia
But I was wrong.

-Mia
That's all there is.

-Will
Umm...

-Will
Er...
What's going to happen to me?

-Will
It kinda seems like everyone
in that courtroom thinks
I did it...

-Will
They think I'm a murderer!

-Mia
Don't worry, Mr. Powers.

-Mia
If you are innocent, we will
prove it. I guarantee it.

-Mia
Leave it to us, and... be
yourself. Be strong.

-Mia
You are the Steel Samurai,
hero to children everywhere,
after all.

-Will
I...

-Will
You...

-Will
Thanks.
*sniff*

-Mia
Okay, Phoenix.

-Mia
This one's for the kids!

-Mia
Let's do it!

October 19, 11:15 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4

-Judge
Court is back in session for
the trial of Mr. Will Powers.

-Edgeworth</pre><pre id="faqspan-12">
The prosecution has a concern.

-Edgeworth
As our witness is a grade
schooler of tender years,
and this is a murder case...

-Edgeworth
We worry that the defense
might cause unnecessary trauma
with his cruel questioning!

-Phoenix
(Nice to see Edgeworth taking
the moral high ground...)

-Edgeworth
However, we have no choice.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls
Cody Hackins to the stand.

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

-Edgeworth
Your Honor.
Perhaps you could arrange
a box for him to stand on?

-Judge
Oh, r-right.

-Judge
Guard, please bring him a box.
One of those donut crates
should do.

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

-Edgeworth
Will the witness state his
name and grade in school.

-Cody
..

-Edgeworth
Witness!

-Cody
What!? Just 'cause you're all
grown-up don't mean you can
push me around!

-Edgeworth
Mrph...

-Mia
Cody?

-Mia
Answer his question, okay?

-Cody
H-hey, it's you!
The nice lady!

-Cody
I'm Cody Hackins.
I'm in 2nd grade!

-Phoenx
(I get the feeling this is
going to be a long, long
day...)

Mr. Edgeworth.

-Judge
Please remember that you're
speaking to a child. Try to
be gentle.

-Edgeworth
M-mrrrrph!

-Edgeworth
Witness! Er, I mean,
Cody.

-Phoenix
(He's having trouble with
this "gentle" thing.)

-Edgeworth
You were present, er, you
were at Global Studios on the
day of the, er, incident?

-Cody
You got a problem with that!?

-Edgeworth
Please tell us what you
saw that day.

-Cody
What, pops? You want me to
tell you and gramps with
the beard over there?

-Edgeworth
Just.. Mr. Edgeworth will
be fine.

-Judge
I prefer "bearded gentleman"
myself.

-Phoenix
(A very long day...)

-Judge
Incidentally,

-Judge
photographic equipment is
strictly forbidden in this
courtroom.

-Edgeworth
M-mpht!

-Edgeworth
M-my apologies, Your Honor.
He said he wouldn't testify
if he couldn't bring it...

-Edgeworth
I'd like special permission,
if that's possible.

-Phoenix
Wait, so you're saying you had
to bargain terms with a kid...
and you LOST?

-Cody
Hey! I just got
this new camera!

-Cody
Don't really know how to
use it all that good yet!

-Cody
But I bring it with me
wherever I go!

-Mia
Phoenix.

-Mia
I wonder if he had that
camera on the day of the
murder...

-Mia
You'd better make a note of
it in the Court Record.

Cody's Camera added to
the Court Record.

-Judge
Very well, Cody.

-Judge
Please testify to the court
about what you saw the
day of the incident.

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Cody
I wanted to see a Steel
Samurai rehearsal, just once.

(2)
-Cody
I found a map on the Internet,
and went to the studios that
day.

(3)
-Cody
I went through the woods
off the path, so that old
lady wouldn't catch me.

(4)
-Cody
I was going for the studio.

(5)
-Cody
I got kinda lost on the way,
though. For about 30 minutes.

(6)
-Cody
When I came out by the studio,
there was the Steel Samurai!

(7)
-Cody
It totally rocked!
Right before my eyes,
out came the bad guy!

(8)
-Cody
Of course, the Steel Samurai
took him down! Pow!

(9)
-Cody
If I had my camera with
me, that woulda been the
time for a shot, I tell you.

-Cody
Anyway, I couldn't get into
the studio, so I went home.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Very well. The defense may
begin its cross-examination.

-Judge
And, be gentle. Remember
you're talking to a child.

most adults we see in here,
honestly...)

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Cody
I wanted to see a Steel
Samurai rehearsal, just once.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You really like the Steel
  Samurai, huh?

  -Cody
  Course I do!

  -Cody
  I've taped every show!

  -Cody
  And I go to all the live
  performances!

  -Phoenix
  That's impressive.

  -Phoenix
  Have you been to the
  amusement park?

  -Cody
  Course! Duh!

  -Cody
  My Dad always takes me!

  -Phoenix
  (Poor, poor Dad...)

(2)
-Cody
I found a map on the Internet,
and went to the studios that
day.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Was that day the first time
  you'd been to the studio?

  -Cody
  Uh, actually I've been a
  couple of times.

  -Cody
  I never manage to get
  there on a rehearsal day!

  -Cody
  And that security lady's
  always yelling...

  -Edgeworth
  Right, right.
  Please continue.

  -Cody
  Chill, pops!
  I'm getting to it!

  -Cody
  How am I supposed to talk
  with you cuttin' me off
  all the time? Geez!

  -Edgeworth
  ...

(3)
-Cody
I went through the woods
off the path, so that old
lady wouldn't catch me.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Off the path"...?

  -Cody
  Yeah, you know how the
  studios are in a valley
  there?

  -Cody
  If you go off the path
  a little, there's woods.
  That's where I was!

  -Phoenix
  I see.

  -Cody
  Anyhow...

(4)
-Cody
I was going for the studio.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Did nothing unusual happen
  on your way to the studio?

  -Cody
  "Unusual"?

  -Phoenix
  Did you see this monkey
  by any chance?

  -Cody
  Oh, you mean Mr. Monkey?

  -Cody
  Yeah I saw him, but
  his head wasn't busted!

  -Edgeworth
  So you went straight
  to the studio?

(5)
-Cody
I got kinda lost on the way,
though. For about 30 minutes.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You got lost in the woods?

  -Cody
  Yeah. I couldn't figure
  out which way I was walking.

  -Cody
  Man, was I relieved when
  I saw the blue studio doors.

  -Cody
  But guess what happened next!

(6)
-Cody
When I came out by the studio,
there was the Steel Samurai!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The Steel Samurai?

  -Cody
  Yeah, he was standing by
  the studio gate.

  -Cody
  It looked like he was
  thinking about something
  before going in.

  -Cody
  Then he opened up the gate
  and went inside.

  -Phoenix
  I see. What then?

(7)
-Cody
It totally rocked!
Right before my eyes,
out came the bad guy!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What sort of "bad guy" was it?

  -Cody
  A guy. A person.
  Kinda tall. Skinny.

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure it was
  a guy?

  -Cody
  ...

  -Cody
  I dunno.
  He was kinda far away.

  -Phoenix
  (Huh, he's being awfully
  vague...)

  -Mia
  ...

(8)
-Cody
Of course, the Steel Samurai
took him down! Pow!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What happened to the bad guy?

  -Cody
  Huh?

  -Cody
  Well...

  -Cody
  Well, he kinda didn't move.
  Not a bit. Like he was dead.

  -Cody
  I-I guess he's a real pro!
  What a great actor!

  -Phoenix
  Y-yes, I suppose he was.

(9)
-Cody
If I had my camera with
me, that woulda been the
time for a shot, I tell you.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "If" you had your camera?

  -Phoenix
  You mean, you weren't carrying
  your camera then?

  -Cody
  N-no, I wasn't.

  -Cody
  I-it's not like I have
  it all the time!

  -Phoenix
  (Really...?)

-Phoenix
(I guess seeing the killing
freaked him out and he went
home...)

-Mia
Phoenix.

-Mia
Remember, he's a child.

-Mia
Use gentle words...
but be firm.

-Phoenix
(Easy for you to say...)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Cody, what you just said
seems, well, a little strange.

-Phoenix
Didn't you say before that
you always bring your digital
camera wherever you go?

-Phoenix
You were quite clear about
that.

-Cody
Huh!?

-Phoenix
Cody, you shouldn't lie here.
You understand that, right?

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
A word with you...

-Phoenix
(Uh oh... was I putting the
pressure on too much?)

-Judge
What is this "digital" camera
contraption you're talking
about?

-Phoenix
It's umm... a digital camera,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
It's kind of a new sort of
camera.

-Phoenix
(How do I explain that!?)

-Judge
I see.

-Phoenix
Anyway, Cody...

-Phoenix
I can't believe you wouldn't
bring your camera on a trip
to the studios!

-Phoenix
You did bring it, didn't you?

-Cody
Umm...

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright!

-Edgeworth
How cruel you are, to
terrorize a poor child so!

-Phoenix
I don't care if he's a child
or a prosecuting attorney!
No one should lie in court!

-Edgeworth
What do you mean
"or a prosecuting attorney"!?

-Phoenix
Well, Cody?

-Cody
Wh-what!

-Cody
Yeah, so I had my
camera. So what!?

-Cody
You got a problem
with that!?

-Judge
So, you did have a camera?

-Judeg
And did you use this camera?

-Cody
W-why would I use it?

-Cody
I... I was too busy watching.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Very well. Please testify to
the court about what you were
so busy watching.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What I saw --

(1)
-Cody
Y-yeah, I had my camera
with me.

(2)
-Cody
But I was glued to the
action! I couldn't take
my eyes off it!

(3)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai, he goes
for the bad guy... wham!

(4)
-Cody
Then... then the bad
guy stopped moving!

(5)
-Cody
He's so strong!
The Steel Samurai rules!

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Ah? Is that all?

-Judge
Well, that was brief.

-Judge
Mr. Wright, your cross-
examination.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What I saw --

(1)
-Cody
Y-yeah, I had my camera
with me.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, why didn't you use it?

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  He's getting to that!

  -Edgeworth
  Relax and listen.

  -Cody
  Umm...

  -Cody
  I didn't use it 'cause
  I was too busy watching
  the real thing!

(2)
-Cody
But I was glued to the
action! I couldn't take
my eyes off it!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So you were watching the Steel
  Samurai. Did you watch the
  whole fight?

  -Cody
  Y-yeah, of course!

  -Phoenix
  You didn't turn away,
  not even once?

  -Cody
  N... no!

  -Phoenix
  Okay, then tell us exactly
  what happened.

  -Cody
  Y-yeah! I'm getting to that!

(3)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai, he goes
for the bad guy... wham!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So the bad guy attacked
  him first?

  -Cody
  Yeah!

  -Phoenix
  What sort of person was
  this "bad guy"?

  -Cody
  I told you, a person.
  He was a person.

  -Phoenix
  How was he dressed?

  -Cody
  ...

  -Cody
  I kinda don't remember.

  -Cody
  I was too busy watching
  the Steel Samurai!

  -Edgeworth
  I see.
  And what happened next?

(4)
-Cody
Then... then the bad
guy stopped moving!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why?

  -Cody
  Huh? Whaddya mean, "why"?

  -Phoenix
  Why wasn't the bad
  guy moving?

  -Cody
  W-well 'cause the Steel
  Samurai brought him to
  justice!

  -Phoenix
  And how exactly did he
  do that?

  -Cody
  H-how did he do it?

  -Cody
  With a Samurai Kick!
  And a Samurai Punch!

  -Cody
  Samurai Chop!
  ... Samurai Slap!

  -Cody
  S-something like that.

  -Phoenix
  (He's still being vague
  about this...)

  -Cody
  What! Don't give me that
  look, pops!

  -Phoenix
  (How should I play this?)

  ***Wait and see what happens****************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Yeah...)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (If I press too hard now,
  * the judge might keep me
  * from continuing.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'll sit back and see
  * how the rest of this goes.)

(5)
-Cody
He's so strong!
The Steel Samurai rules!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What did you do after
  the bad guy fell, Cody?

  -Cody
  ...

  -Cody
  Um, actually...

  -Cody
  The fight was so... so intense
  that I got kinda scared.

  -Cody
  So I went straight home.

  -Phoenix
  (Something isn't adding
  up here...)

-Phoenix
(Something about his account
doesn't seem right...)

-Mia
Phoenix.

-Mia
It doesn't seem right
because he's being
deliberately vague!

-Mia
Press him on the facts,
Phoenix! Find out what he saw!

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

-Phoenix
Cody.

-Cody
Wh-what!?

-Phoenix
Something's bothering me.

-Phoenix
Before you said that you
"couldn't take your eyes
off" the action.

-Cody
Y-yeah? So what?

-Phoenix
Yet you missed the
most important part!

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
What is the meaning of this?
The witness has stated what
he saw quite clearly...

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
You know as well as I do
that he's being vague!

-Phoenix
Tell me, what kind of
murderer uses a "Samurai
Slap"!?

-Edgeworth
M-mmph!

-Phoenix
My point is this:

-Phoenix
Cody, you may have seen
some of the Steel Samurai's
fight...

-Phoenix
But you missed the most
important part: the
killing blow!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!

-Judge
How could this be?

-Judge
Can you explain how he
might have missed something
so vital?

-Phoenix
Um, well... er, that's
the thing...

-Mia
Phoenix!

-Mia
I believe you're on the
right track with this!

-Mia
Think: why didn't Cody see
the climax of the fight?

-Mia
I know you!
You can figure this out!

-Judge
Mr. Wright,
your answer!

-Judge
We have ascertained that
this young boy is a great fan
of the Steel Samurai...

-Judge
Why wouldn't he watch
the climax of the fight?

***He couldn't watch it*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Because he couldn't watch it!
*
* -Phoenix
* How could he calmly watch
* a murder taking place at
* his age!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Just a moment, please...
*
* -Edgeworth
* One thing has become quite
* clear in this boy's testimony.
*
* -Edgeworth
* He did not believe he
* was witnessing a murder!
*
* -Edgeworth
* He was watching the Steel
* Samurai fight, like on TV.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The more real the fight,
* the more he would have
* watched!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... huh.
*
* -Judge
* I have to agree with
* Mr. Edgeworth.
*
* -Judge
* Well, Mr. Wright.
* Do you have another
* explanation?
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

***He was watching something else***********
*
* -Phoenix
* He missed the climax of
* the fight...
*
* -Phoenix
* because he was looking at
* something else! Probably!
*
* -Edgeworth
* "Probably"?
*
* -Judge
* "Something else"?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mr. Wright,
* explain yourself!
*
* -Edgeworth
* What could possibly distract
* this boy from seeing his idol,
* the Steel Samurai, fight!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* What do you claim he

*
* -Phoenix
* O-ooof!
*
* -Phoenix

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

-Phoenix
Here's my proof!

-Judge
What's that?
The camera...?

-Phoenix
The witness stated that he
recently received this camera.

-Judge
Yes, I'm aware of that.

-Phoenix
He wasn't entirely familiar
with its operation.

-Judge
I'm aware of that, too.

-Judge
Ah!

-Phoenix
Correct! Why would Cody be
looking somewhere else at
the critical moment?

-Phoenix
Because he was looking
at his camera!

-Phoenix
He was trying to take
a picture!

-Cody
Hey!

-Phoenix
Bullseye!

-Cody
W-what's your problem, pops!
You got a thing for picking
on little kids!?

-Phoenix
(Pressing, not picking...)

-Mia
Good job, Phoenix!

-Mia
Cody was lying, clearly.

-Mia
Samrt of you to realize there
was no way he could just stand
there, watching his hero...

-Mia
and not take a picture!

-Phoenix
Right!

-Phoenix
Cody?

-Phoenix
There was only one reason
why you would have looked
away from the fight.

-Phoenix
And that was because you
wanted to take a picture.

-Phoenix
But having just received your
camera, you weren't used
to using it yet!

-Phoenix
So, you missed the climax
of the fight. Correct?

-Cody
..

-Cody
..

-Cody
..

-Cody
Yeah.

-Mia
Well, Phoenix.

-Mia
I'll bet you anything he's
hiding more than that.

-Mia
Have him testify again!

-Phoenix
R-right.
(Mia means business!)

-Phoenix
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The defense would like to
request that Cody Hackins
testify once more.

-Judge
V-very well.

-Judge
Cody?

-Judge
Could you please tell us
about your camera...

-Judge
And about why you didn't
take a picture of the fight?

-Cody
Umm...

-Phoenix
(Welcome to the real world,
kid!)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- No Photo? --

(1)
-Cody
Yeah, you're right, pops.

(2)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai had just
escaped from the clutches of
the villain.

(3)
-Cody
So I held up my camera
to take a picture!

(4)
-Cody
But the lens wouldn't open
in time, so I missed it.

(5)
-Cody
Th-that's all that happened.
Yup.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Anything strange in that
testimony, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
I'm not sure...

-Phoenix
But I'd like to proceed with
the cross-examination anyway.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- No Photo? --

(1)
-Cody
Yeah, you're right, pops.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Pops"...?

  -Cody
  Yeah, I called you "pops,"
  you spiky-haired geezer!

  -Phoenix
  G-geezer...?

  -Edgeworth
  I'm "Mr. Edgeworth."

  -Judge
  And I guess I'm the "bearded
  gentleman"...

  -Cody
  That's what I hate about
  grown-ups. You'rea ll so
  self-conscious!

  -Phoenix
  Okay, off with the kid
  gloves! Testify, witness,
  testify!

  -Cody
  Yipes!

(2)
-Cody
The Steel Samurai had just
escaped from the clutches of
the villain.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So you did see the
  beginning of the fight?

  -Cody
  Yeah.

  -Phoenix
  Did you notice anything
  unusual?

  -Cody
  Umm... well... uh...

  -Cody
  I guess the Steel Samurai was
  moving a little strange...

  -Phoenix
  (Moving... strangely?)

(3)
-Cody
So I held up my camera
to take a picture!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why couldn't you take
  a picture?

  -Cody
  My new camera has too many
  buttons. I couldn't figure
  it out.

  -Cody
  I tried to take a picture,
  I really tried.

(4)
-Cody
But the lens wouldn't open
in time, so I missed it.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  When the lens opened,
  what did you see?

  -Cody
  Uh... well, a person on
  the ground. And the Steel
  Samurai!

(5)
-Cody
Th-that's all that happened.
Yup.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  That's all?

  -Cody
  Y-yeah!
  I told you, I didn't
  take a picture!

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... I would have, once I
  got that lens open...)

  -Phoenix
  (Did he really not take
  a picture? Not even one?)

  ***Press him hard***************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Nah, he definitely would
  * have taken a picture.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (There's got to be something
  * here I can use!)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Cody!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Listen up, Cody Hackins.
  * I know exactly what happened
  * that day.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * You took a picture!
  *
  * -Cody
  * ... Hey!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Bullseye...?)
  *
  * -Cody
  * H-how did you know!?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * I see through all your
  * lies Cody Hackins. It's
  * one of my powers!
  *
  * -Cody
  * W-wow!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (This feels great!)
  *
  * -Cody
  * Y-yeah...
  * Yeah, I took a picture.
  *
  * -Judge
  * Perhaps you can change
  * your testimony to reflect
  * this, Cody?
  *
  * CHANGE TO 5b

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

  ***Let it slide*****************************

  * -Phoenix
  * (I'd better lay off
  * him for now.)
  *
  ********************************************

(5b)
-Cody
I took a few shots, but it
was too late, so I erased 'em.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You "erased" them?

  -Cody
  Y-yeah!

  -Phoenix
  Why would you erase a picture
  of your beloved Steel
  Samurai, victorious?

  -Cody
  Well... y'know.

  -Cody
  W-why would I want to
  keep a picture like that?

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... he's becoming less
  and less cooperative.)

  -Phoenix
  (I better find a clear
  contradiction soon...
  or some solid evidence.)

-Phoenix
(How can I pick holes in
such a short testimony?)

-Mia
There has to be something.

-Mia
Dig up the dirt, Phoenix!
Find out what this kid's
all about!

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Cody!

-Cody
Wh-wh-what!?

-Cody
Man, every time you saw
"Cody" you follow it with
something bad.

-Phoenix
I just wanted to thank you
for giving me this the
other day.

-Cody
Huh? O-oh... right.

-Phoenix
What was it you
told me then?

-Cody
I go to every live
performance!

-Cody
I always take a picture when
the Steel Samurai lands the
final blow! Whizzam!

-Cody
I got 'em all! I never missed
one! A perfect collection!

-Phoenix
Cody.

-Phoenix
Did you really get a picture
of the Steel Samurai standing
victorious over his foe?

-Phoenix
If you did, I find it hard
to believe that you would
just erase it!

-Phoenix
Wouldn't you keep it for
your album?

-Cody
Ah!

-Judge
Mr. Wright...

-Judge
What exactly is this album?

-Phoenix
It's called "Path to Glory."

-Phoenix
It's a collection of pictures
of the Steel Samurai, all
taken by Cody Hackins.

-Phoenix
He claims it's a perfect
collection of every battle
the Steel Samurai has won!

-Judge
I... I see.

-Phoenix
Don't you find this very
odd, Your Honor?

-Phoenix
Among all his pictures of
the Steel Samurai, none
were taken that day!

-Judge
Order!

-Judge
Mr. Wright.
Have you an explanation?

-Judge
If the Steel Samurai
had just defeated his
adversary...

-Judge
I certainly would expect
to see a picture of it
in this album...

-Phoenix
Exactly my point,
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
........!
(No... wait... no way!)

-Mia
Phoenix?

-Mia
I think we've finally
discovered the truth.

-Mia
And what a truth it is!

-Phoenix
M-Mia... are we sure
about this?

-Phoenix
Did he actually...?

-Mia
Yes.

-Mia
I'm pretty sure what you're
thinking is right.

-Mia
Tell them, Phoenix.
Tell them what the truth is.

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
Please explain to the court
what is going on here!

-Judge
Why was there no picture in
the album from the day of
the murder?

-Judge
Why would the boy have
erased the photos he took?

***The photos were blurry*******************
*
* -Phoenix
* I believe that Cody Hackins
* is what we call an "artiste."
*
* -Judge
* An... "artiste"...?
*
* -Phoenix
* He didn't like the photos
* he had taken!
*
* -Phoenix
* They were blurry, or maybe
* his framing was off...
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, for some reason,
* he erased the data!
*
* -Judge
* Is that right, Cody?
*
* -Cody
* Wh-what do you mean
* "framing was off"!?
*
* -Judge
* It seems the only thing "off"
* is your guesswork, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, uh...
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes, well, I'm sure
* the reall reason is...
*
* -Judge
* Yes? The real reason is?
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

***He erased them by mistake****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Simple, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* Cody wasn't used to using
* his new camera.
*
* -Phoenix
* He erased those photos
* he took by mistake!
*
* -Mia
* W-wait a second, Phoenix.
*
* -Mia
* If that's your answer, we're
* back where we started!
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? You mean, that wasn't it?
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! If you have
* something to say to
* the court, speak up!
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, well...

* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
I can think of only
one reason, your honor.

-Phoenix
The Steel Samurai didn't win!

-Phoenix
That's why Cody deleted
those photos.

-Judge
You mean the Steel Samurai...
lost?

-Phoenix
Well, Cody?
I'm right, aren't I?

-Phoenix
Tell the truth. The bad guy
defeated the Steel Samurai!

-Cody
N-n-n-no way! No!

-Cody
I-it's impossible!
Th-the Steel Samurai
never loses!

-Cody
He never loses to anyone!
Ever!

-Phoenix
Your Honor...

-Phoenix
The witness has revealed
everything with his words.

-Phoenix
There was a reason why
he lied and told us he
didn't take a picture.

-Phoenix
The same reason he erased
his precious photos!

-Phoenix
For Cody, it was inconceivable
that the Steel Samurai could
be defeated.

-Phoenix
However, Cody witnessed
the impossible!

-Phoenix
He saw the Steel Samurai lose!

-Phoenix
Yet to admit what he saw
would destroy everything
he believed in!

-Phoenix
That's why he lied and said
the Steel Samurai won.

-Phoenix
He couldn't handle the truth!

-Judge
O-Order! I will have order!

-Judge
W-witness! I mean, Cody!
Is this true!?

-Judge
W-what did you see?
Tell the court what you saw!

-Cody
I......

-Cody
Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

-Phoenix
Cody...

-Phoenix
That day, you saw the Steel
Samurai lose a fight.

-Phoenix

-Cody
Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!

-Cody
Okay okay!

-Cody
Y-you're right!

-Cody
Th-the Steel Samurai f-fell
down...

-Cody
Th-then he didn't m-move...

-Cody
Waaaaaaaaah!

-Judge
Order! Order! Order!

-Edgeworth
What kind of stunt are you
trying to pull, Wright!?

-Edgeworth
The Steel Samurai was the
murderer, not the victim!

-Phoenix
Yet according to your
witness's testimony, the Steel
Samurai was the one who fell!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What's going on?

-Phoenix
Apparently, we have all made
a serious error.

-Edgeworth
An... error?

-Edgeworth
What's this all about!?

***Hammer was the victim********************

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

-Phoenix
If you understand what
really happened, it's
actually quite simple.

-Phoenix
At the end of the fight,
the Steel Samurai fell to
the ground, and lay still.

-Phoenix
In other words, the Steel
Samurai was not the killer,
he was the victim!

-Phoenix
Don't you see?

-Phoenix
Jack Hammer was the Steel
Samurai!

-Judge
Order! Order! Order!

-Judge
So, the Steel Samurai
in this photograph...

-Judge
You're saying the man in this
costume was the victim,
Mr. Jack Hammer?

-Phoenix
That's what I'm saying,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
Jack Hammer was present at the
action scene run-through
that morning.

-Phoenix
Thus, he obviously knew about
Will Powers's foot injury.

-Judge
B-but wait!

-Judge
Hadn't Mr. Hammer gone
to Studio One already?

-Phoenix
That's what everyone thought!

-Phoenix
But remember what Ms. Oldbag
said in her testimony?

-Oldbag
On the day of the murder,
I arrived at the guard
station at 1:00 PM.

-Oldbag
Did I see poor old Hammer?
Nope.

-Oldbag
He'd already gone to the
studio before I got back
to the guard station.

-Phoenix
Mr. Jack Hammer left the
Employee Area after lunch.

-Phoenix
However, no one saw him
going to Studio One.

-Phoenix
Nor was there a
picture of him.

-Phoenix
He waited for Mr. Powers
to take a nap in his
dressing room.

-Phoenix
Then he snuck into the
dressing room and stole
the Steel Samurai costume.

-Judge
..

-Edgeworth
..

-Judge
But why would the
victim do such a thing?

-Phoenix
I... don't know.

-Cody
..

-Cody
I get it!

-Phoenix
?

-Cody
I thought that the Steel
Samurai was moving strange.

-Cody
So it was a different
person inside the suit!

-Cody
Pops!

-Phoenix
Huh, me? What?

-Cody
Actually, there was one
piece of data I saved.

-Phoenix
Data?

-Cody
Yeah, a photo on my
digital camera!

-Phoenix
!

-Phoenix
W-what!?

-Edgeworth
Show us, quick!

-Cody
No way man, not if you're
gonna look at me like that!

-Judge
Now!

-Cody
*sniff*

-Cody
Here...
This is it.

-Judge
..

-Judge
Well, looking at this it's
still a little hard to say.

-Judge
I'm afraid that it could
be anyone in that costume.

-Judge
Your opinion, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
I agree, Your Honor.
This isn't decisive evidence.

-Judge
I'm sorry, this doesn't look
like it's the proof we need.

-Judge
I'll give it back.

-Mia
Wait, Phoenix!

-Phoenix
Mia? What?

-Mia
Look at that photo once more!

-Mia
That's it Phoenix!

-Mia
That photo is all the evidence
you need to win this trial!

-Phoenix
Wh-what!?

-Phoenix
Y-Your Honor!

-Phoenix
May I see that photo
once more please?

-Judge
C-certainly.
I don't see why not.

-Mia
Phoenix!
Show him!

-Mia
There's a glaring, decisive
inconsistency with the facts
as we know them in that photo!

-Phoenix
(Find the inconsistency
in the photo!)

***Present the Steel Samurai****************

*
* -Phoenix
* It's right here!
*
* -Judge
* The Steel Samurai...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes, that's about the only
* thing in this picture that
* could be inconsistent.
*
* -Phoenix
* The Steel Samurai is
* inconsistent with...
* something.
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Wright!
*
* -Edgeworth
* This is no time for

*
* -Phoenix
* I suppose that's because I'm

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Your Honor!
Look at this!

-Judge
I see... a gate?

-Phoenix
Might I draw your attention
to the number on that gate?

-Judge
The number?

-Judge
Ah yes. Well, it's hard to
see, but it looks like a "2."

-Phoenix
Clearly not a "1," Your
Honor, correct?

-Edgeworth
Aaaaaah!

-Phoenix
I believe Mr. Edgeworth
sees what I'm getting at.

-Edgeworth
B-but...

-Edgeworth
Th-that's impossible!

-Judge
Hmm? Eh?
What's this all about?

-Judge
Please explain so that I might
be shocked along with the
rest of the court.

-Phoenix
I'll use the studio guidemap.

-Phoenix
The body was found here,
in Studio One.

-Phoenix
However, what do we see
in this photo taken at the
time of the murder?

-Phoenix
It does NOT say "1" on that
gate in the photo.

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Here is the true
scene of the crime!

-Phoenix
(Show the judge where
the murder took place!)

***Present somewhere wrong******************
*

*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... well...
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry, Your Honor, I guess
* I hadn't thought it that
* far through yet.
*
* -Judge
* Think it through before
* you point at the map this
* time, Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* Once again! Where is he
* scene of this crime?
*
* RETURN TO GUIDEMAP
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Here, at Studio Two.

-Judge
I see!
That would explain the "2"
on the gate in the photo.

-Phoenix
Your Honor, I find it very
significant that the murder
took place in Studio Two!

***The trailer was there********************
*
* -Phoenix
* As you may recall, there is
* a trailer in Studio Two.
*
* -Phoenix
* Now, on that day, a meeting
* was held in that very trailer.
*
* -Phoenix
* There was a break in the
* meeting corresponding to
* the time of death.
*
* -Phoenix
* During that break, Mr. Sal
* Manella and Ms. Dee Vasquez
* were outside, eating steak.
*
* -Phoenix
* They were at the scene
* of the crime!
*
* -Phoenix
* The path to the trailer
* was blocked!
*
* -Judge
* So we have heard.
*
* -Phoenix
* The path was blocked
* at 2:15...
*
* -Phoenix
* In other words, the victim
* went to Studio Two before
* that time!
*
* -Judge
* Yes... yes, I suppose
* that would be the case.
*
* -Phoenix
* Remember Mr. Sal Manella's
* testimony?
*
* -Phoenix
* Allow me to remind the court:
*
* -Phoenix
* He said no one in the trailer
* was guilty because they could
* not have gone to Studio One.
*
* -Phoenix
* Yet, in actuality, the
* reverse was true!
*
* -Phoenix
* Only someone in the trailer
* could have committed this
* murder!
*
* -Phoenix
* They were the only ones with
* access to the scene of the
* crime: Studio Two!

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Phoenix
The defense makes the
following claims:

-Phoenix
The scene of the crime
was Studio Two!

-Phoenix
The person that the security
guard, Ms. Oldbag saw was
the victim, Mr. Jack Hammer!

-Phoenix
Mr. Hammer, for some reason,
stole a Steel Samurai costume.

-Phoenix
Then he went to Studio Two!

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
This is madness!

-Edgeworth
Jack Hammer is the victim!
The victim!

-Edgeworth
Why would he steal a
Steel Samurai costume!?

-Edgeworth
Are you suggesting he did
so to cover up the details
of his own murder!?

-Phoenix
W-well, no, of course not...

-Judge
Hmm...

-Edgeworth
Or do you have proof!?

-Edgeworth
Give me proof that the
victim, Jack Hammer, stole
the costume!

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
This is it.

-Judge
An empty... medicine bottle?

-Phoenix
I found this on the table
in the Employee Area.

-Phoenix
The same table where Mr.
Hammer and Mr. Powers ate.

-Phoenix
The label reads
"sleeping pills."

-Judge
"Sleeping pills"...?

-Phoenix
The defendant, Mr. Powers,
spent that entire afternoon
sleeping.

-Phoenix
He was drugged...
by Mr. Hammer!

-Judge
Wait a moment...

-Judge
That bottle does raise
some suspicions, yes.

-Judge
But there is no proof
that Mr. Hammer used it.

-Phoenix
Your Honor,
I have an idea.

***Test Powers's blood**********************
*
* -Judge
* An... idea?
* Continue.
*
* -Phoenix
* Run a test of Powers's blood.
*
* -Phoenix
* You should find traces
* of the sleeping pills.
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* This much time after
* the day of the murder!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Even if there were traces
* it still proves nothing!
*
* -Edgeworth
* No blood test could tell that
* Hammer was the one who

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

-Judge
An... idea?
Very well, let's hear it.

-Phoenix
I want to check this bottle
for fingerprints!

-Phoenix
If my claim is true, Mr.
Hammer's fingerprints should
show up on this bottle!

-Edgeworth
Hmm...

-Judge
I suppose you're right.

-Judge
Very well.
The court will take possession
of the bottle.

Empty Bottle given
to the judge.

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

-Judge
This court will suspend
proceedings on the current
trial for today.

-Judge
Cody Hackin's testimony has
revealed new possibilities
in this case.

-Judge
In fact, things may have
happened very differently
than we previously thought.

-Judge
The Steel Samurai seen
by Ms. Oldbag may have been
the victim, Jack Hammer.

-Judge
The scene of the crime was not
Studio One, but Studio Two.

-Judge
And those in the trailer did
have time to commit murder.

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?

-Judge
Your homework is to find
the answer to the following
question:

-Judge
Why would Mr. Hammer steal
the Steel Samurai costume?

-Judge
Also, who killed him,
and why?

-Judge
Find the answers for
me by tomorrow.

-Phoenix
(That's a lot of homework!)

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
Mm?

-Judge
You will need to reconsider
your stance in this case.

-Judge
Above all, you will need to
reconsider your suspicion
of Mr. Will Powers.

-Edgeworth
As you say, Your Honor.

-Judge
This trial will be extended
until tomorrow. This is the
last extension!

-Judge
Very well...
Court is adjourned!

times during the trial.

-Phoenix
M-me too!

-Will
Really?

You both seemed so...

Hah! Maybe I should take

Hoh hoh. Of course, we're

-Will
Are you sure?

(I wasn't kidding...)

Now, Mr. Powers.

We have to go make

* I-is that really Jack Hammer

*
* -Phoenix
* He's the only one who it
* could have been.
*
* -Will
* But why would he...?
*
* -Maya
* Yeah! Why?
*
* -Phoenix
* You're the medium! Why don't

* I've never seen these
* Steel Samurais in

* These are the Steel

*

* A fanboy collected all

* A genius...?

* -Will
* She's been at Global
* Studios for five years now.
*
* -Will
* Right or wrong, nobody

*
* -Phoenix
* Why is that?
*
* -Will
* Ever since she came on board,

* -Will
* Oh, he used to be a minor

*
* -Will
* But something in his work
* caught Vasquez's eye.
*
* -Will
* She brought the Steel
* Samurai idea to him.
*
* -Will
* Now everyone knows the
* name Sal Manella.
*
* -Will
* I hear he's pretty much
* at her beck and call, though.
*
* -Will
* Whenever she says "jump!"
* he asks "how high?" and
* all that.

* I can't imagine him jumping.)

*
* -Maya
* I was wondering about
* Mr. Hammer...
*
* -Maya
* He was a big star back
* in the day, right?
*
* -Maya
* But then he just dropped
* off the face of the Earth.
*
* -Will
* Oh...
*
* -Will
* Yes, you're right. In fact,
* he was my role model when I
* started in this business.
*
* -Will
* But he just stopped taking
* on big roles.
*
* -Will
* That's when he began
* appearing in little
* productions at Global...
*
* -Maya
* How could he do that!?
*
* -Maya
* I was really looking
* forward to a sequel
* to "Samurai Summer."
*
* -Will
* He just gave up being
* a star five years ago.
*
* -Will
* Actually, now that
* I think about it...
*
* -Will
* That was right when
* Ms. Vasquez came to
* Global.

* W-what!?
* Why!?
*
* -Penny
* I don't know.
*
* -Penny
* It's sad, but that's what
* Global Studios decided.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Five years ago"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* An accident five years ago?
*
* -Penny
* Yes, in Studio Two.
*
* -Penny
* That trailer there was
* part of the film set.
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell us
* what happened?
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* S-sorry.
*
* -Penny
* I don't think I can.
*
* -Penny
* They really don't want
* us to talk about it.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Studio policy"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Why aren't they going to make
* kids' shows anymore?
*
* -Penny
* The studio bigwigs don't
* want the Steel Samurai
* around anymore.
*
* -Penny
* They want to forget all
* this ever happened.
*
* -Penny
* They want it quiet, you
* understand?
*
* -Maya
* H-how can they just do that!
*
* -Maya
* What about all the kids
* who love the Steel Samurai!
*
* -Penny
* It's okay. I'm sure the
* kids will be fine.
*
* -Penny
* They'll find a new
* hero to follow.
*
* -Maya
* No, that can't be true!
*
* -Maya
* If the program just ends,
* they'll be heartbroken
* for sure!
*
* -Maya
* N-Nick!
* Say something!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... yeah.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I think evidence, rather
* than words, is called
* for here.)
*
* -Phoenix
* Here, take a look at this.
*
* ***Present something wrong******************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * *TAKE THAT!*
* *
* * -Penny
* * What's this?
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * This is why you can't
* * stop the Steel Samurai.
* *
* * -Penny
* * I'm sorry...
* * I don't understand.
* *
* * -Maya
* * Neither do I, Nick.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * F-funny that. I don't either!
* * (Oops. Let's try that again.)
* *
* * RETURN TO COURT RECORD
* *
* ********************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Penny
* And this is...?
*
* -Phoenix
* A fan collected all of
* these photographs.
*
* -Phoenix
* The kids love the Steel
* Samurai!
*
* -Phoenix
* The show shouldn't be
* cancelled just so some
* adults can save face!
*
* -Phoenix
* I would think you would
* understand that better
* than anyone.
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* You're right...
*
* -Penny
* Okay!
*
* -Penny
* But what can I do?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, for starters...
*
* -Phoenix
* You can tell me something.
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me what it is that
* Global Studios is so intent
* on hiding?
*
* -Phoenix
* Tell me about this accident
* five years ago.
*
* -Penny
* ...
*
* -Penny
* Okay!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Five years ago"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Could you tell us what
* happened five years ago?
*
* -Penny
* Well, I can tell you
* what I've heard.
*
* -Penny
* Apparently, five years ago,
* someone died... and it was
* Hammer's fault.
*
* -Maya
* S-someone died!?
*
* -Penny
* It was an accident, of course!
*
* -Penny
* Anyway...
*
* -Penny
* The producer, Ms. Vasquez
* managed to hush it up.
*
* -Phoenix
* And that's the "dirt" she
* had on Mr. Hammer?
*
* -Maya
* And that's why Mr. Hammer
* would do anything Ms. Vasquez
* asked him to do!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* But, it was an accident,
* right? Why didn't they just
* make it public?
*
* -Penny
* Well, you know Mr. Hammer
* was a big star back then.
*
* -Penny
* They were afraid about what
* would happen to his career
* if word got out.
*
* -Maya
* I see...
*
* -Penny
* You know who knows mre
* about this? Ms. Oldbag.
*
* -Penny
* She was here at the studios
* back then, you know.
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks.
* We'll try asking her.
*
* -Phoenix
* (If she'll talk...)

* You're right. Five years ago

* -Oldbag
* What's worse, a paparazzi

* -Oldbag
* That photo, well, it caused

* -Oldbag
* And guess who made it

* -Oldbag
* She has ties to the

-Vasquez
Hmph. You came.

-Vasquez
Well then, what was that
you were talking about?

-Phoenix
(...!
Why is she so eager to
talk all of a sudden?)

-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez.

-Phoenix
You were using that accident!

-Phoenix
You were blackmailing
Mr. Hammer so you could
control him, weren't you?

-Phoenix
That's why he was doing
kids' shows for petty change.

-Vasquez
Hmph...

-Vasquez
So I'm a blackmailer now?

-Maya
Well, that's what it was,
wasn't it!

-Maya
I mean, sure, it was
an accident...

-Maya
But you used it to drag
Mr. Hammer down from his
rightful place as a star!

-Vasquez
Oh...?

-Vasquez
I haven't pulled anyone down
from anywhere.

-Vasquez
Mr. Hammer's career went
sour of its own accord.

-Maya
B-but!

-Maya
You were the cause!
You pressured him...

-Maya
And to think it was
just an accident...!

-Vasquez
Excuse me!

-Vasquez
What is this all about?

-Vasquez
You keep saying "accident,"
"accident"...

-Vasquez
How are you so sure?

-Phoenix
What do you mean?

-Vasquez
Must I spell everything
out for you?

-Vasquez
Think: what would it be
if it wasn't an accident?

-Phoenix
..!

-Phoenix
No...

-Phoenix
No way!

-Phoenix
You mean Mr. Hammer
did it... on purpose?

-Vasquez
That is what I mean.

-Phoenix
Wh-where's your proof!
Can you prove it!?

-Vasquez
Hmph!

-Vasquez
Just think!

-Vasquez
Would he have let me run
his life for five years...
over a mere accident?

-Vasquez
And I ran him hard,
believe you me!

-Maya
B-but, the security lady
said it was an accident!

-Vasquez
Oh. Well, she was a big
fan of Hammer's, you see.

-Vasquez
She jumped on the reporter
who brought that photo
into the studio.

-Vasquez
She wrenched it out of his
hands, she did. Gave him a
few bruises, too.

-Phoenix
(...)

-Phoenix
(So that's why she
had the photo...)

-Vasquez
She's an old fool.

-Vasquez
Of course, all the reporter
would need is the negatives.
He could have made a copy.

-Vasquez
But he didn't.

-Vasquez
The only copy of that photo
is the one you hold.

-Vasquez
Give it to me. Now.

-Maya
W-what? This is valuable
evidence!

-Vasquez
Boys!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
U-umm...

-Phoenix
Who are they...?

-Vasquez
Professionals.

-Vasquez
They're good at erasing...
various things.

-Vasquez
What do you think...?
Would you like to be erased?

-Phoenix
Wh-what!?

-Vasquez
The trial ends tomorrow?

-Vasquez
How unfortunate.

-Vasquez
It's a shame you'll
have to miss it!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Tell me why.

-Phoenix
Why do you want this
photograph so badly?

-Phoenix
This is Mr. Hammer's
"dirt"... no?

-Phoenix
Why should Dee Vasquez
care about it at all?

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
I'm sure you'll have plenty
of time to think about that
where you're going.

-Vasquez
So long, friends.

-Vasquez
Boys, erase away.

-Maya
Nooooooooooooo!

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

-Gumshoe
Hold it right there!

-Gumshoe
I heard everything, pal!

-Gumshoe
Dee Vasquez!

-Gumshoe
You're coming down
to the precinct with me, now!

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Hmph.

-Vasquez
Not bad.
..

-Vasquez
Very well.

-Vasquez
It appears this contest will
be decided tomorrow then.
In court.

-Vasquez
I'll be looking forward to it.

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

-Gumshoe
H-hey, you okay, pal?

-Gumshoe
Sorry I was a little late
with my entrance.

-Gumshoe
I don't get many chances to
practice that sorta thing.

-Maya
Detective Gumshoe...

-Maya
Thank you thank you thank you!

-Maya
I was really scared...

-Gumshoe
Huh?
Don't mention it, pal.
Just doing my job.

-Gumshoe
..

-Gumshoe
..

-Maya
Detective Gumshoe?

-Gumshoe
Sorry, it's just... I've
wanted to say that line ever
since I became a detective.

-Gumshoe
..

-Gumshoe
Okay. I've got one more
job to do today.

-Gumshoe
I'm sure we'll run into
each other again soon!

-Maya
Well, Nick.

-Maya
It looks like we're getting
close to the bottom of this.

-Phoenix
(And who's at the bottom...?)

-Phoenix
(Dee Vasquez!)

|FINAL DAY - TRIAL            |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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

October 20, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 4

-Judge
Court is now in session for
the trial of Mr. Will Powers.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution is ready,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Judge
Today will be the final
day of this trial.

-Judge
I hope both the prosecution
and the defense will be able
to present decisive evidence.

-Judge
Very well, Mr. Edgeworth.
Your opening statement.

-Edgeworth
In yesterday's session, the
defense presented us with
a new theory for this case.

-Edgeworth
He claims that the scene
of the crime was, in fact,
Studio Two.

-Edgeworth
Today, I will call on people
present in the Studio Two
trailer that day.

-Edgeworth
From their testimonies, the
truth will become clear.

-Judge
Hmm... very well!

-Phoenix
(Edgeworth seems a bit
on edge today...)

-Judge
You may call your first
witness, Mr. Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
The prosecution calls Ms.
Dee Vasquez to the stand.

-Edgeworth
Ms. Dee Vasquez is a producer
who was present in the Studio
Two trailer that day.

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

-Edgeworth
Will the witness state her
name and occupation?

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Dee Vasquez.
I am a producer for
Global Studios.

-Edgeworth
On the day of the murder,
you were in the trailer in
Studio Two...

-Vasquez
As everyone here knows,
yes?

-Edgeworth
..?

-Vasquez
I dislike needless banter.

-Vasquez
If you must pontificate, do
it when I'm not here.

-Edgeworth
Mrrph!

-Judge
V-very well, Ms. Vasquez.

-Judge
Please give the court your
testimony concerning the
day of the murder.

-Maya
Nick! I know she did it!
Make her pay!

-Phoenix
R-right!

-Phoenx
(If she's guilty, I'll
catch her with her pants
down... So to speak.)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Day of the Murder --

(1)
-Vasquez
I entered the trailer, oh,
a little before noon.

(2)
-Vasquez
The meeting began at 12:00
sharp. It ended at 4:00.

(3)
-Vasquez
There was to be a rehearsal
afterwards, so we went to
Studio One...

(4)
-Vasquez
I was fatigued, so I
had Sal take me.

(5)
-Vasquez
At 2:30, we took a 15-minute
break in the meeting.

(6)
-Vasquez
Sal and I ate t-bone steaks
on the table in front of the
trailer.

-Vasquez
We found Hammer's body
later, when we all went
to Studio One.

-Vasquez
That's all.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
I have a question about
one part of your testimony.

-Judge
You were "fatigued" so you
had Sal "take" you...?

-Vasquez
The van.

-Judge
Hmm?

-Vasquez
There's a van at Studio Two.

-Vasquez
I had him take me in that.

-Vasquez
I thought it might be risky
to walk, what with that
monkey's head toppling over.

Van added to the
Court Record.

-Judge
I... I see!

-Judge
Very well. Mr. Wright,
your cross-examination.

-Maya
This is the final battle,
Nick! Let's do it!

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Day of the Murder --

(1)
-Vasquez
I entered the trailer, oh,
a little before noon.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  By yourself?

  -Vasquez
  Yes.

  -Phoenix
  And you didn't stop in
  at the Employee Area?

  -Vasquez
  No.

  -Phoenix
  ...

  -Phoenix
  Are you always this... terse?

  -Vasquez
  Yes.

  -Phoenix
  (Oh dear...)

(2)
-Vasquez
The meeting began at 12:00
sharp. It ended at 4:00.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Did no one leave during
  the meeting?

  -Vasquez
  No one.

  -Vasquez
  ...

  -Phoenix
  ...

  -Phoenix
  C-come on... let's talk
  a bit more about that.

  -Edgeworth
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Edgeworth
  The witness did not come
  here to engage in idle
  conversation!

  -Edgeworth
  Stop interrupting the
  testimony.

  -Vasquez
  The same could be said to
  you, Mr. Edgeworth.

  -Vasquez
  And please stop banging
  on your little desk. It
  hurts my ears.

  -Edgeworth
  Mmph!

(3)
-Vasquez
There was to be a rehearsal
afterwards, so we went to
Studio One...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  And when exactly was that?

  -Vasquez
  I've forgotten.

  -Phoenix
  ...

  -Vasquez
  ...

  -Phoenix
  Maybe you could try
  remembering?

  -Vasquez
  No.

  -Edgeworth
  The meeting ended at 4:00,
  and the rehearsal was
  scheduled for 5:00...

  -Edgeworth
  I would think it was
  between those times.

  -Phoenix
  (You "would think"!? C'mon,
  all you did was state the
  obvious, Edgeworth!)

(4)
-Vasquez
I was fatigued, so I
had Sal take me.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Hold on!

  -Phoenix
  You had Sal "take" you?
  What does that mean!?

  -Vasquez
  It means what I just said.

  -Vasquez
  I had Sal take me in
  the Studio Two van.

  -Phoenix
  (Oh... oh, right.)

(5)
-Vasquez
At 2:30, we took a 15-minute
break in the meeting.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  And what were you doing
  during that time...?

  -Vasquez
  Don't hit your desk.

  -Vasquez
  It irritates me.

  -Edgeworth
  Yeah! Mr. Wright...!

  -Edgeworth
  Oops.

  -Vasquez
  ...

  -Vasquez
  It was a 15 minute break...

(6)
-Vasquez
Sal and I ate t-bone steaks
on the table in front of the
trailer.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Do you have someone who
  can verify this?

  -Vasquez
  Sal.

  -Phoenix
  N-no...
  I mean someone else?

  -Vasquez
  One person is enough.

  -Phoenix
  (If she committed murder
  during that break...)

  -Phoenix
  (She wouldn't have had time
  to eat a t-bone steak!)

  -Phoenix</pre><pre id="faqspan-14">
  (If I had some evidence that
  proved she didn't eat that
  steak...)

-Maya
Well, Nick? Find anything?

-Phoenix
I kind of wish she'd
said a little more...

-Maya
It's hard. I think she's
pretty used to being the boss.

-Maya
But I'm sure you'll find some
kind of contradiction in what
she said... somewhere!

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Hah! As I thought!

-Vasquez
..

-Phoenix
You claim you ate a t-bone
steak!

-Phoenix
But I say you did not!

-Judge
W-what's this, now,
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Look at this.

-Judge
It's... a plate?

-Phoenix
This plate was on the table
in the employee room.

-Phoenix
As you can see, a large
bone has been left behind.

-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright. Need I remind
you it was a T-BONE STEAK!?

-Phoenix
Exactly my point!

-Phoenix
Remember, if you will...

-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez and Mr. Manella
ate at a table outside the
trailer.

-Phoenx
Yet there were no bones left
on the plates!

-Phoenix
The plates were bare!

-Vasquez
!

-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez?

-Phoenix
Tell me, how can a person
eat a t-bone steak...

-Phoenix
and not leave the bone?

-Phoenix
I think I know how!

***You ate the bone, too********************
*
* -Phoenix
* You ate the bone, too!
*
* -Maya
* Um, Nick... are you sure?
*
* -Maya
* I mean, I love steak, but
* even I don't eat the bone!
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, I don't eat it either!
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright!
*
* -Judge
* I, too, leave the bone.
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, can I try that again?
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION

***You ate a boneless steak*****************

* Elementary! You were eating

*
* -Maya

*
* -Maya
* Remember her testimony?

*
* -Maya
* She said "bone"!
*
* -Phoenix
* Correct!
* I was... testing you!

***You didn't eat the steak*****************

-Phoenix
You didn't eat any steak

-Phoenix
You took your steak and
threw it somewhere... like
that incinerator!

-Vasquez

-Vasquez
..

-Judge
I... I see!

-Judge
Then what was Ms. Vasquez
doing during her break?

-Phoenix
Isn't it obvious, Your Honor?

-Phoenix
She was meeting with
the Steel Samurai!

-Judge
Order!

-Judge
A-are you saying...!?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor!

-Phoenix
As Ms. Vasquez left the
trailer to eat her steak...

-Phoenix
She ran into the
Steel Samurai!

-Phoenix
And then you did it.

-Phoenix
You killed him with
your own hands!

-Vasquez
!!!

-Judge
M-Mr. Wright!

-Judge
I-isn't that a little
presumptuous!?

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
What kind of stunt are you
trying to pull, Wright!?

-Vasquez
Let him claim what he wants...

-Vasquez
You say I did it?

-Phoenix
Yes.

-Vasquez
Fascinating!

-Vasquez
And here I was worrying that
today would be as boring
as all the rest.

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Very well.

-Vasquez
Let us have a battle
of wits, you and I.

-Phoenix
(Any day, Vasquez!)

-Maya
Good luck, Nick!

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

-Vasquez
Let's see...

-Vasquez
What was that murder weapon
again? Oh yes, the "Samurai
Spear."

-Phoenix
Yes...?

-Vasquez
I am, as you can see,
a woman of petite stature.

-Vasquez
How could I possibly use that
heavy spear as a weapon?

***I think you could!***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* It's not impossible!
*
* -Edgeworth
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* -Edgeworth
* Well, maybe it's not
* impossible, but--
*
* -Vasquez
* Silence.
*
* -Vasquez
* I'm speaking.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mmmph!
*
* -Vasquez
* The victim was stabbed
* through the chest from
* the front, yes?
*
* -Vasquez
* I believe this would indicate
* that the victim was aware of
* the killer's presence.
*
* -Vasquez
* Now, the Steel Samurai
* costume is quite light
* and mobile.
*
* -Vasquez
* Compared to the victim, I am
* weaker and slower...
*
* -Vasquez
* I couldn't possibly
* win such a fight!
*
* -Vasquez
* Not to mention, there is
* proof I did not have the
* spear!
*
* -Vasquez
* The photograph of the Steel
* Samurai shows that the victim
* himself was holding it!
*
* -Vasquez
* Or do you mean to suggest
* that I could have wrested
* it away from him?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Y-yeah! Take that, Wright!
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you still think she did
* it, show us proof!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... er...
*
* -Maya
* Hey, Nick.
*
* -Maya
* Look at the data we have
* on that Samurai Spear in
* the Court Record.
*
* -Maya
* Isn't there something in
* there that gets to you...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Something odd about the
* Samurai Spear...?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait!
*
* -Judge
* Something the matter,
* Mr. Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* S-sorry, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'd like to take back
* my previous claim.
*
* -Judge
* Very well, I won't hold
* you to your claim.
*
* -Judge
* But I'm afraid I will have
* to penalize you.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Ugh...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* What's this?
* You're taking back your claim?
*
* -Phoenix
* Let's backtrack for

* -Phoenix
* I want to consider whether

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

***You couldn't, could you******************

* Quiet. I'm speaking.
*
* -Edgeworth
* M-m-mmph!
*

-Phoenix
However, that has no
bearing on this case!

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Meaning?

-Phoenix
The Samurai Spear was
not the murder weapon!

-Vasquez
What!?

-Judge
What is the meaning of this!?

-Judge
The spear was found lying
next to the victim's body!

-Phoenix
I have proof, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
I can prove that the
Samurai Spear was not
used as the murder weapon!

***Present something wrong******************

* Wrong, Mr. Wright.

* Right.
* Okay, here's the real

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
I present my proof: the
so-called "murder weapon"!

-Edgeworth
B-but, that IS the
murder weapon!

-Phoenix
Not so fast.

-Phoenix
Remember that this spear
broke during the morning
action scene run-through?

-Phoenix
But, someone fixed the
spear.

-Phoenix
It was the security lady!

-Phoenix
She fixed it with duct tape!

-Phoenix
Now tell me, how is it
possible...

-Phoenix
for someone to stab a man
who is wearing a thick costume
with this!? Through the chest!

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Edgeworth
Mr. Wright! What are you
driving at!?

-Edgeworth
Think about what you're--

-Vasquez
Silence!

-Vasquez
I'm the one testifying here
and I will be heard!

-Edgeworth
Mmmph...!

-Vasquez
Are you quite sane?

-Vasquez
Are you even aware of what
you're saying?

-Vasquez
If the Samurai Spear was
not the murder weapon,
then pray tell what was!?

-Vasquez
How was Hammer killed?

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright? Can you
tell us what weapon was
used to kill Mr. Hammer?

***I can tell you***************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Look at this photo.

-Judge
W-what is this?

-Judge
Why, that's Jack Hammer
standing at the top of
the stairs!

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Judge
If I cannot have order this
trial will be suspended!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!

-Judge
What is this all about!?

-Phoenix
This photograph is from
five years ago.

-Phoenix
There was an unfortunate
accident at Global Studios.

-Phoenix
This is a photo of that
very accident.

-Phoenix
Not a word of this was
leaked to the outside.

-Phoenix
It was a close-kept
secret at the studios.

-Edgeworth
What does this have to
do with the currect case!?

-Phoenix
Mr. Edgeworth...

-Phoenix
You still can't see it?

-Phoenix
See the fallen man in this
photo? See how the fencepost
pierced him through the chest?

-Edgeworth
Wh... what!?

-Edgeworth
Are you saying...!?

-Phoenix
Yes.

-Phoenix
What happened five years
ago...

-Phoenix
has happened again!

-Vasquez
!!!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
Continue!

-Phoenix
It's 2:30 PM on the day
of the murder!

-Phoenix
Ms. Dee Vasquez meets
Jack Hammer outside
the Studio Two trailer!

-Phoenix
Then she did it!

-Phoenix
She pushed Mr. Hammer off
the stairs onto the fence!

-Phoenix
Just like Mr. Hammer had
himself done five years ago!

-Phoenix
Though whether she did it
on purpose or by accident,
I cannot say.

-Vasquez
..!

-Edgeworth
I-in other words...
th-the victim, Mr. Hammer...

-Edgeworth
He died in the same way
that he caused another
man to die...

-Edgeworth
five years ago!

-Phoenix
Precisely.

-Phoenix
Ironic, isn't it?

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Hoh hoh.
Very creative, Mr. Wright.

-Vasquez
I could use a man like you
on my script writing staff.

-Phoenix
You deny that what
I say is true?

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Mr. Wright.

-Vasquez
Let's say, for the sake of
argument, that Hammer died
at the trailer as you say.

-Vasquez
Yet, the body was found
at Studio One, was it not?

-Vasquez
And in the Evil Magistrate's
costume, no less.

-Vasquez
Are you then claiming that
I carried the body to
Studio One...

-Vasquez
And returned to the trailer,
all in the space of
a 15 minute break?

-Vasquez
How could I have
disposed of the body!?

-Phoenix
..

-Edgeworth
The break in the meeting
at the trailer lasted 15
minutes, from 2:30 to 2:45.

-Edgeworth
Could Jack Hammer have been
pushed off the stairs to
his death...

-Edgeworth
then carried to Studio One
and placed inside his
costume?

-Edgeworth
There wasn't enough time!

-Judge
Hmm... indeed.

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
How could she have dealt
with the body?

***She couldn't deal with it****************

* the impossible.
*
* -Vasquez
* Therefore, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Vasquez
* I didn't do it.

And there was a way for

Recall your testimony...

-Vasquez
There was to be a rehearsal
afterwards, so we went to
Studio One.

-Vasquez
I was fatigued,
so I had Sal take me.

-Vasquez
There was a van there, right?
I had Sal drive me.

Then, before everyone else
got there, you put the body
into the Magistrate costume!

-Phoenix
Of course, Sal Manella has
to have been a conspirator!

The body had to be placed in
the van, and put into the
costume.

-Phoenix
There's no way Ms. Vasquez
could have done that alone!

-Phoenix
Also, don't forget that
they had to dispose of the
Steel Samurai costume.

-Phoenix
They had to... because it
was covered in Mr. Hammer's
blood!

-Phoenix
They probably burned it
in that small incinerator.

Well, Ms. Vasquez!

No need.

And the result of that battle?
You proved the possibility
that I murdered Hammer.

-Phoenix
R-right!

-Vasquez
But... that is only
a possibility.

-Vasquez
Proof is another thing
altogether.

-Vasquez
You lack decisive proof,
Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
Wha... wha... wha... wha...

-Phoenix
WHAAAAAAAAAT!?

-Judge
Order!

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth,
your thoughts?

-Edgeworth
Umm... uhh... mmmph.

-Edgeworth
O-of course, it's as
the witness says!

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Certainly, it does seem very
likely she did it... but, uh,
there's no proof!

-Phoenix
(...!)

-Phoenix
(Edgeworth isn't sure!)

-Vasquez
..

-Vasquez
Well?

-Vasquez
I came here was a witness
today.

-Vasquez
If you've no more questions,
I'll be leaving.

-Phoenix
(Urk! What do I do now!?)

***You did it, Vasquez!*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Ms. Vasquez!
* You did it!
*
* -Vasquez
* ...
*
* -Vasquez
* That wasn't a question.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, did you do it?
*
* -Vasquez
* No.
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yes, Your Honor?
*
* -Judge
* I'm not sure that question
* helped the court get any
* closer to a verdict.
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

***Testify again, Vasquez!******************
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I'd like you to
* testify again!
*
* -Judge
* Testify... again?
*
* -Vasquez
* Know when to give up,
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Vasquez
* Think about it.
*
* -Vasquez
* Even if I were to testify
* again, what's the point?
*
* -Vasquez
* I can only say what I said
* before. The truth, Mr. Wright.
*
* -Vasquez
* I've already said all
* there is to say.
*
* -Vasquez
* What would happen if
* I said it again?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh...
*
* -Vasquez
* You'd ask the same questions,
* get the same answers.
*
* -Vasquez
* A waste of time.

-Phoenix
(Damn... damn!)

-Phoenix
(To come so far, only
to fail...)

-Judge
As it seems there are
no further questions...

-Judge
I would like to end the
cross-examination of the
witness, Ms. Vasquez.

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
..

-Judge
Yes, Mr. Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
I was hoping to come up
with a question while I was
objecting, Your Honor...

-Edgeworth
I didn't.

-Judge
I see...
Very well.

-Edgeworth
*OBJECTION!*

-Edgeworth
Your Honor!

-Edgeworth
I request that the
witness testify again!

-Vasquez
You are the prosecutor,
are you not?

-Vasquez
Why are you badgering me?
I'm your witness!

-Edgeworth
I... I just want to hear
your testimony again.

-Vasquez
Does this make any sense
to you, Your Honor?

-Vasquez
I don't see that we have
anything to gain by repeating
the last several minutes.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth...

-Judge
I, too, see little point in
making Ms. Vasquez repeat
herself.

-Judge
What exactly did you want
her to testify about?

-Edgeworth
Mmmph! Well, yes, um...

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Indeed!
Verily, I say...
Ergo!

-Edgeworth
I want to hear about what
happened... after they found
the body!

-Judge
After they found the body...?

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
The witness will testify
to the court concerning
this matter.

-Vasquez
Hmph.

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
Why did Edgeworth...?

-Phoenix
Who knows?

-Phoenix
He probably realized she
did it, too.

-Maya
But... but!

-Maya
Wasn't he the one that said
he always gets a guilty
verdict...?

-Maya
After all that...

-Phoenix
(Edgeworth...)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- After Finding the Body --

(1)
-Vasquez
I was with Sal and Oldbag,
the security lady, when we
found the body.

(2)
-Vasquez
The assistant was there, too.
Only Powers was absent.

(3)
-Vasquez
I immediately called the
police. Then Powers showed
up.

(4)
-Vasquez
The security lady, Oldbag,
was quite agitated. Pointing
at Powers, saying "he did it!"

(5)
-Vasquez
I asked to be left out
of the proceedings.

(6)
-Vasquez
I went back to the trailer
to get my script and direction
notes.

(7)
-Vasquez
Then I went home.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
I see no issues raised
by this testimony...

-Judge
Mr. Wright,
your cross-examination.

-Maya
Okay, Nick, we're
close, real close!

-Maya
She may be acting
tough now...

-Maya
But if you put her on the
spot she's sure to falter!

-Maya
Find the key you need
and twist the truth out
of her, Nick!

-Phoenix
Right!

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- After Finding the Body --

(1)
-Vasquez
I was with Sal and Oldbag,
the security lady, when we
found the body.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What time was that?

  -Vasquez
  We were to meet at 5:00
  for the rehearsal.

  -Vasquez
  So I'd say it was then.

  -Phoenix
  When exactly did you
  and Mr. Manella arrive
  at the studio?

  -Vasquez
  About 10 minutes before.

  -Vasquez
  I wasn't stuffing any bodies
  into costumes, mind you.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm...)

  ***Press harder*****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Where were the other employees
  * when you got to the studio?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * They weren't there yet.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Well!?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Then you could have put
  * Hammer in that costume,
  * with Sal Manella's help!
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Oh?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * What did I just say?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Did I not just say "I wasn't
  * stuffing any bodies into
  * any costumes"...?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * You should try to listen
  * to what people are saying,
  * boy.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (B-boy!?)
  *
  * -Judge
  * The witness will continue
  * her testimony.
  *
  ********************************************

  ***Hold back********************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'd better leave
  * this one be.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'm sure she'd see through
  * anything I had to throw
  * at her, anyway.)
  *
  ********************************************

(2)
-Vasquez
The assistant was there, too.
Only Powers was absent.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Mr. Powers was taking
  a nap, correct?

  -Vasquez
  So he says.

  -Phoenix
  Did no one go to call him?

  -Vasquez
  Remember...

  -Phoenix
  Remember... what?

  -Vasquez
  There was a dead body lying
  in front of us. Yet you
  expect me to be calm?

  -Phoenix
  (You certainly seemed
  calm enough when I accused
  you of murder!)

  -Phoenix
  (*sigh*)

  ***Press harder*****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Wait a second!
  * Wouldn't that be the
  * other way around!?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * The other way around?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * You discovered a murdered
  * body, and one person was
  * missing, right?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Wouldn't you normally go
  * looking for the missing
  * person!?
  *
  * -Judge
  * Hmm...
  *
  * -Judge
  * I have to agree with
  * the defense on this one.
  *
  * -Judge
  * Well, Ms. Vasquez?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Hmph.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Logically speaking, perhaps.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * But no one there was thinking
  * very logically, I assure you.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Also.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Without his Steel Samurai
  * costume, Powers doesn't really
  * stand out.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * We often left him on the
  * bus when shooting at location.
  * No one noticed he was missing.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Poor Powers...)
  *
  * -Judge
  * Hmm...
  * Well, I suppose that
  * explains that.
  *
  * -Judge
  * Very well, Ms. Vasquez.
  * You may continue.
  *
  ********************************************

  ***Back off*********************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'll hold off.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (She'd just blow off anything
  * I had to say, anyway.)
  *
  ********************************************

(3)
-Vasquez
I immediately called the
police. Then Powers showed
up.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What was everyone else
  doing at that time?

  -Vasquez
  No one said a thing.

  -Vasquez
  It was silent.
  Completely silent.

  -Vasquez
  So we stood there until Powers
  finally arrived on the scene.

  -Vasquez
  "Sorry! Sorry I'm late!"

  -Vasquez
  Then... silence.
  Dead silence.

  -Phoenix
  ...

  -Edgeworth
  ...

  -Judge
  ...

  ...

  -Vasquez
  Silent.

  -Maya
  Hey... Hey, Nick.

  -Maya
  Why's everyone so
  quiet?

  -Maya
  Someone should do something
  to lighten things up!

(4)
-Vasquez
The security lady, Oldbag,
was quite agitated. Pointing
at Powers, saying "he did it!"

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  (Oldbag... the security lady.)

  -Phoenix
  Why did the security lady
  think Powers had done it?

  -Vasquez
  She said because she saw
  him going toward the studio.

  -Phoenix
  (Right... the Steel Samurai.)

  ***Press harder*****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Did the detective arrest
  * Mr. Powers based solely on
  * the security lady's word?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Perhaps not.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * She seems to have also
  * given the detective that
  * photograph...
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Of course, I heard all
  * this after the fact.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (That photograph... meaning
  * the one taken by the
  * security camera.)
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * She's not known for exhibiting
  * the best sense of judgment
  * when it comes to Hammer.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Hmm. I don't think there's
  * anything in there I can use.)
  *
  ********************************************

  ***Back off*********************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'll hold back, I think.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I'm sure she's already
  * anticipated anything I
  * could throw at her.)
  *
  ********************************************

(5)
-Vasquez
I asked to be left out
of the proceedings.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You "asked to be left out"?

  -Vasquez
  Yes.

  -Vasquez
  It seems that everyone
  else was questioned.

  -Vasquez
  And I'm really not fond
  of that sort of thing.

  -Phoenix
  But, you can't just decide
  who the police will and
  won't question!

  -Vasquez
  Thankfully, the studio
  thinks otherwise.

  -Vasquez
  They were nice enough to
  understand that, since we
  were in a meeting...

  -Vasquez
  There was no way we could
  have been involved. Thus,
  they covered for us.

  -Phoenix
  (Covered for you...
  or covered it up for you?)

  -Phoenix
  (There must have been a lot
  riding on it, with all those
  bigwigs at the meeting...)

  -Phoenix
  (I'm sure her "professionals"
  helped convince everyone they
  didn't require questioning.

(6)
-Vasquez
I went back to the trailer
to get my script and direction
notes.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The script and your
  direction notes?

  -Vasquez
  Yes, they're quite
  valuable. It wouldn't
  do to have them stolen.

  -Phoenix
  No, I guess not.

  ***Press harder*****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Wait a second!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * I thought you came to
  * Studio One for a rehearsal!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Why didn't you bring your
  * script and notes!?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Well, I was under the
  * impression that we wouldn't
  * be able to rehearse anything.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Why?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * There was a murder,
  * after all!
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Who could think of
  * rehearsing after that!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Oh, yeah, I guess...)
  *
  * -Judge
  * Hmm...
  *
  * -Judge
  * Very well. Ms. Vasquez,
  * please continue...
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * *OBJECTION!*
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Your Honor!!!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * I have an objection to the
  * witness's last statement!
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Huh...!?)
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Think!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Ms. Vasquez said she didn't
  * bring the script because there
  * wouldn't be a rehearsal.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Don't you see what
  * that means?
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * She would have had to know
  * about the murder before
  * going to Studio One!
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * ...!
  *
  * -Judge
  * Order! Order!
  *
  * -Judge
  * Mr. Edgeworth!
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * ...
  *
  * -Judge
  * What you have just said...
  *
  * -Judge
  * is a reasonable observation.
  *
  * -Judge
  * However, I find it hard to
  * understand why the prosecution
  * would make such a move!
  *
  * -Judge
  * Or are you thinking of a
  * career change to defense!?
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * ...
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * I... appreciate the concern,
  * Your Honor.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * I will stand by my statement,
  * however, regardless of how
  * the court sees my role here.
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Now, Ms. Vasquez...
  *
  * -Edgeworth
  * Do you have an explanation?
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I can't believe Edgeworth
  * is helping me!)
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * Hmph.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * So the prosecution is in
  * cahoots with the defense?
  * What kind of court is this?
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * No matter.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * I think you misunderstood me.
  *
  * -Vasquez
  * I had a perfectly good reason
  * to believe there would be
  * no rehearsal.
  *
  * -Judge
  * Hmm...
  *
  * -Judge
  * Very well, the witness will
  * change her testimony to

(7a)
-Vasquez
Then I went home.

  -Phoenix

  * Well, we were in a meeting

  *
  * -Vasquez
  * What's the point of talking

(7b)
-Vasquez
I knew that Hammer was injured
and couldn't do any action
scenes, so I left them behind.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How did you know about
  the injury?

  -Vasquez
  H-how did I know!?

  -Vasquez
  Sal.

  -Vasquez
  He told me.

  -Phoenix
  (Sal the director...
  Hmm...)

-Maya
You have to find something
to peg this on her here...

-Maya
Or everything we've done
till now will have been
wasted!

-Maya
I believe in you, Nick!
Go get 'em!

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
You "knew that Hammer
was injured"...?

-Phoenix
Don't you think that's
a little funny?

-Phoenix
I mean, it was the Steel
Samurai who was injured!

-Pheonix
It was Will Powers!

-Vasquez
Wh... what!?

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
Explain yourself!

-Phoenix
Yes, Mr. Hammer is dragging
his leg in this photo.

-Phoenix
But that's because he was
pretending to be Mr. Powers!

-Vasquez
P-pretending...?

-Phoenix
One person was injured in the
run-through that morning.

-Phoenix
That person was Mr. Powers,
not Mr. Hammer!

-Phoenix
Now, why did you think it was
Mr. Hammer who was injured?

-Vasquez
..!

-Vasquez
I-I already said it
was Sal who told me!

-Vasquez
Th-that's right!
He must have gotten it wrong.

-Phoenix
I think not.

-Phoenix
Mr. Manella was at the
run-through that morning.

-Phoenix
He would have known it was
Mr. Powers who was injured.
He saw it happen!

-Phoenix
Why would he tell you
the wrong person?

-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez!

***You heard Mr. Manella wrong**************

* -Phoenix
* You must have heard

* Yeah!

You saw Mr. Hammer limping

Yes, but...

Wasn't it Mr. Powers who
was injured...?

-Phoenix
Yes, but remember!

-Phoenix
Mr. Hammer was dragging
his leg, too!

-Phoenix
He was pretending to be
Mr. Powers!

Aah!

And when was he
doing this...?

-Edgeworth
Well...

-Edgeworth
It would have been after he
put on the Steel Samurai
costume...

-Edgeworth
and went to Studio Two.
Where he was murdered!

-Phoenix
Exactly!

-Phoenix
Ms. Vasquez!

-Phoenix
You met him, didn't you?
You saw the Steel Samurai
limping!

-Phoenix
And Mr. Hammer was in
that Steel Samurai suit!

-Phoenix
That's why you were confused!

-Phoenix
That's why you thought it
was Mr. Hammer who had been
injured that morning!

Can you refute this claim?

I have a question for you!

-Phoenix
(Urk...)

-Phoenix
(Why are the real killers
always so... persistent?)

-Vasquez
Why in the world would
I want Mr. Hammer dead?

-Vasquez
Yes, he'd fallen on hard
times, but he was a star!

-Vasquez
I had nothing to gain
from his death! Nothing!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Yes, you would need a motive.

-Jude
Why would she have killed
the victim?

-Judge
If there is a reason,
it is unclear to this court.

-Judge
Does the defense have anything
to say on the matter?

-Judge
In other words, can you
prove she had a motive?

-Pheonix
I'm right, aren't I,
Ms. Vasquez?

-Vasquez
Hrrrrrrm... hmph!

-Phoenix
Five years ago, Mr. Hammer
was at the height of his fame.

-Phoenix
With Dee Vasquez's help, a
terrible accident was swept
under the carpet...

-Phoenix
Ladies and gentlemen,
the case currently up
for trial...

-Phoenix
It began on that day,
five years ago!

-Vasquez
..

-Phoenix
Ironically enough, that
accident precipitated
Mr. Hammer's fall...

-Phoenix
His fall from stardom!

-Edgeworth
His guilt weighed him
down, no doubt.

-Phoenix
However!

-Phoenix
You, Dee Vasquez, used
Mr. Hammer.

-Phoenix
You made him work for you
for petty change!

-Vasquez
Hmph.

-Edgeworth
Bringing us to the present
day... and Mr. Hammer's last
role as the Evil Magistrate!

-Phoenix
Yes! Undoubtedly, it was
a constant source of shame
for the ex-star...

-Edgeworth
Hmm...

-Judge
One moment, Mr. Wright.

-Judge
We are talking about motives,
here... yet you have only
talked about Mr. Hammer.

-Judge
It almost seems as if...

-Judge
As if it was Mr. Hammer who
had killed Dee Vasquez, not
the other way around!

-Judge
What motive would Ms. Vasquez
have?

-Vasquez
Y-yes, that's right.

-Vasquez
According to what you say...

-Vasquez
I would have had no reason to
kill Hammer. He was a good
source of income for me!

-Vasquez
And I never get rid of useful
men. It's a policy of mine.

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Judge
Please explain Ms. Vasquez's
motive for murder.

***Reveal evidence**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Okay...
*
* -Phoenix
* Allow me to present to the
* court evidence proving
* Ms. Vasquez's motive!
*
* ***Present anything*************************
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * *TAKE THAT!*
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * This is my proof!
* *
* * -Judge
* * And... this tells us why
* * Ms. Vasquez wanted to kill
* * Mr. Hammer?
* *
* * -Vasquez
* * I'd say all it proves is that
* * the defense attorney has
* * completely lost his marbles.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (Urk!)
* *
* * -Judge
* * Mr. Wright!
* * The court requests that you
* * find your marbles immediately.
* *
* * -Judge
* * And, I'm afraid I have to
* * penalize you for this
* * waste of the court's time.
* *
* * -Maya
* * Nick! We're so close!
* *
* * -Maya
* * Think this one through,
* * please!
* *
* * -Judge
* * Mr. Wright,
* * I'll ask you again.
* *
* * RETURN TO QUESTION

***She had no motive************************

* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
She had no motive, Your Honor.

-Judge
What's that now!?

-Phoenix
It was Mr. Hammer who was
out for blood!

-Phoenix
All Ms. Vasquez did was
push him off the stairs...
in self defense!

-Edgeworth
What's that now!?

-Phoenix
It's simple!

-Phoenix
Mr. Hammer was intending
to kill Ms. Vasquez!

-Edgeworth
Wha-!?

-Edgeworth
WHAT!?

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Jack Hammer drugged
Mr. Powers with sleeping
pills!

-Phoenix
Jack Hammer snuck into the
dressing room and stole
the Steel Samurai costume!

-Phoenix
Jack Hammer wore the costume
to fool the security lady
into thinking he was Powers!

-Phoenix
Then Jack Hammer made
his way to the trailer!

-Phoenix
And for what purpose, you ask?

-Phoenix
To kill Dee Vasquez, who had
so cruelly taken advantage
of him all those years!

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

-Phoenix
So, you did do it, didn't you?

-Vasquez
.. Yes.

-Vasquez
I am guilty.

-Vasquez
It was me...

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

"Someone call an ambulance!"

"Th-there's blood everywhere!
We're too late!"

"Aah! Ms. Vasquez!"

"What...?
What happened here!?"

"Manuel fell from the
trailer stairs...!"

"Manuel! Manuel!

"Ms. Vasquez, please, try
to remain calm..."

"No...! No!
How could this...?"

"It was an accident..."

"Mr. Hammer was doing
an action scene and..."

"No! Manuel! Manuel!!!"

"D-don't touch him!
Ms. Vasquez!"

"Nooooooooooooo!"

"Please... please don't die."

"Please..."

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

-Vasquez
Congratulations, Mr. Wright.

-Vasquez
I lose... again.

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

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth...
Where's Dee Vasquez?

-Edgeworth
In the waiting lobby,
Your Honor. As calm and
collected as ever...

-Judge
I see...

-Judge
Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor?

-Judge
It appears you have brought
about yet another miracle.

-Phoenix
I... thank you, Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
I think not, Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
Will Powers was innocent.

-Edgeworth
That he should be found
so is only natural...
not a miracle.

-Judge
..

-Judge
Yes.
Yes, you're right.

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Will Powers...

* N O T   G U I L T Y *

-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!

Defendant Lobby No. 3

-Will
I... I don't know
what to say!

-Will
Thank you so much!

-Phoenix
I'm just glad you're okay.

-Will
Yes... but... it's sad.

-Will
I know now that Mr. Hammer
stole my costume.

-Will
It's bad enough that he
wanted to kill Ms. Vasquez...

-Will
But to think that he
tried to frame me for the
murder!

-Will
It makes me sad...

-Will
Tell me why, Mr. Wright!

-Phoenix
H-huh?

-Will
Tell me!

-Will
Why did Mr. Hammer
want to blame me...?

***I don't know*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess we'll never know.

* Because I was the

*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. Hammer was a big star,

*
* -Phoenix
* But he was reduced to acting

* the villaim, to boot!
*
* -Phoenix
* The kids love the Steel

*
* -Phoenix
* And so, he hated you.
*
* -Will
* I... I think I understand.
*
* -Will

-Maya
Congratulations, WP!

-Will
Oh? Oh!
Heh heh.

-Will
Thanks to you, I'll be
able to don the Steel
Samurai outfit once more!

-Will
I can't wait to get back
into that sweaty costume
and...

-Will
..?

-Will
Is... something wrong?

-Maya
N-no! O-of course not...

-Maya
Aah!

-Maya
N-Nick!
Edgeworth!

-Edgeworth
..

-Phoenix
..

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Say something, Wright.

-Edgeworth
I'm not good at small talk.

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Phoenix
What?

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Umm... that was too bad,
Edgeworth!

-Edgeworth
You don't waste any
time gloating, do you?

-Phoenix
No... I really want to
thank you.

-Phoenix
Vasquez would have gotten
away if you hadn't stepped in.

-Will
Ah, uh, pleased to meet
you. I'm Powers. *sniff*

-Edgeworth
Ah, er, Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
I'm a big fan of your
work, Mr. Powers.

-Phoenix
(Liar!)

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Wright.

-Edgeworth
I must say, I hadn't expected
to meet you again after all
these years.

-Maya
Meet "again"...?

-Edgeworth
However.

-Edgeworth
In retrospect, it would have
been better had we not met.

-Edgeworth
Thanks to you, I am saddled
with unnecessary... feelings.

-Phoenix
Unnecessary feelings?

-Edgeworth
Yes. Unease... and
uncertainty.

-Phoenix
Aren't those kind of
necessary?

-Edgeworth
They only serve to get
in my way.

-Edgeworth
You listen to me,
Phoenix Wright.

-Edgeworth
Don't ever show your
face in front of me again.

-Edgeworth
That's what I came here
to tell you.

-Will
Umm... Mr. Wright?

-Will
Is... this guy your friend?

-Maya
What? Friends?
As if!

-Maya
They're rivals! Rivals!
Right, Nick?

-Phoenix
For now we are... I guess.

-Maya
Huh!?

-Maya
Why do I get the feeling</pre><pre id="faqspan-15">
I'm missing something?

-Maya
C'mon, Nick! Tell me!
What's the deal with you
and Edgeworth?

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

-Phoenix
And so the curtain closes
on another trial...

-Phoenix
I caused quite a stir by
revealing that accident
from five years ago.

-Phoenix
It was the talk of the town.

-Phoenix
Thankfully, Global Studios
rethought its programming
change.

-Phoenix
They went back to making
kids' shows again.

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
This is it! The new show
starts today! You're going
to watch it with me, right?

-Phoenix
(I'll admit, I was kind
of surprised...)

-Phoenix
(I didn't think they'd
seriously go through
with it...)

-Maya
You have to buy trading
cards too, okay!

-Maya
We have to trade with
Cody and that assistant!

-Phoenix
Fine, fine.
I'll do it.

-Maya
Isn't it great that WP
gets to play the lead again?

-Maya
I wonder if they'll show
his real face this time...

-Phoenix
I dunno...

-Phoenix
I don't think the world
is ready for the real
Will Powers...

It's been, what, 15 years?

About that, yes.

15 years is a long time

You can't imagine how

You... suffered?

December 25, 10:08 AM
Wright & Co. Law Offices

-Maya
Hey, hey, Nick!

-Maya
Do you know if there's any
good waterfalls around here?

-Phoenix
Waterfalls...?
Dare I ask why?

-Maya
Duh, Nick!
Isn't it obvious?

-Maya
I need a waterfall to
stand under! Preferably
a freezing one!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Oh... Is that part of your
spirit medium training?

-Maya
Of course! Except, I've
been slacking off lately...

-Maya
I need to brave the elements
and be forged anew under the
rushing spring waters!

-Phoenix
Umm... Okay...

-Phoenix
I don't know about any falls
per se, but Gourd Lake is
pretty close...

-Maya
Oh. Darn.

-Phoenix
Sorry, but them's the breaks.
Couldn't you just take a
cold shower or something?

-Maya
..

-Maya
Good idea!

-Phoenix
(So much for the rushing
spring waters...)

-TV
Next in the news...

-TV
A large, unidentified animal
was sighted at Gourd Lake!

-TV
The town is buzzing with
excitement!

-TV
Locals are calling it "Gourdy"
in a tip of the hat to Nessie,
the Loch Ness monster.

-TV
Though its namesake, Nessie,
proved to be a hoax...

-TV
locals are confident their
Gourdy is the real deal.

-TV
..

-Phoenix
*yawn*
Bor-ing.

-Phoenix
Can't they show real
news for a change?

-Maya
Nick?

-Phoenix
?

-Maya
The water pressure's kind of
low in that shower.

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
You want more pressure, huh?

-Phoenix
Why don't you go down to the
fire department and have them
spray you with the hose?

-Maya
..

-Maya
Good idea, Nick!

-Phoenix
(Apparently, E.S.P. is no aid
in detecting sarcasm...)

-TV
We interrupt this program
to bring you a special news
bulletin!

-TV
Strange occurrences continue
at Gourd Lake... But this
time, it's murder!

-Phoenix
(Gourd Lake again?)

-TV
The body of a man was found in
the lake early this morning.

-TV
A suspect was apprehended.
Sources inside the police
department revealed...

-TV
that the suspect's name
is Miles Edgeworth, age 24.

-TV
Edgeworth was an up-and-coming
prosecution attorney, known
for his skill and connections.

-TV
He was guaranteed a long and
rewarding career... has he
thrown it all away?

-Phoenix
(...?)

-Phoenix
(E-Edgeworth!?)

-Phoenix
What's going on!?

-Phoenix
Edgeworth would never
do something like--

-Maya
Nick?

-Phoenix
Yipes! M-Maya!

-Maya
The fireman yelled at me
when I called him.

-Phoenix
We've got bigger things to
worry about than that!

-Phoenix
They arrested Edgeworth!

-Maya
What? You mean, the
prosecutor?

-Phoenix
Yeah, he's a suspect...
in a murder!

-Maya
Whaaaaat!?

-Maya
When? Where? Whom?
Why? How?

-Phoenix
I-I don't know!

-Maya
Let's go find out, Nick!

-Maya
You know, Nick...

-Maya
We've all been in here
one time or another,
haven't we?

-Phoenix
I guess it comes with
the territory.

-Maya
I'm not sure it's something
we should mention to too
many people...

-Maya
Aah!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Hey! Edgeworth! Come back!

-Edgeworth
What are you doing here!?

-Maya
Nick, I don't think he's
in a very good mood.

-Phoenix
Well, he is in detention.

-Phoenix
Were you in a good mood
when you were here?

-Edgeworth
So, you've come to laugh
at the fallen attorney?
Then laugh, laugh!

-Edgeworth
Well? Why aren't you laughing?

-Maya
Nick...
Should we be laughing?

-Phoenix
Nah. It's a trick. Laugh
and he'll get mad...
or burst into tears.

-Phoenix
Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
We don't have so much free
time we can spend it coming
down here to laugh at you.

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Yes you do.

-Phoenix
(Actually, he's right.)

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
I hoped you wouldn't come.
I didn't want you to see me.

-Edgeworth
Not like this.

-Phoenix
(Hey, I didn't want to see
you either, believe me.)

*
* -Edgeworth
* Every defense attorney I've
* talked to has turned me down.
*
* -Phoenix
* What?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Simply put, they were
* afraid they'd lose.
*
* -Edgeworth
* It occurred to me that it
* might be my fault that they

MOVE TO: Gourd Lake Entrance

December 25
Gourd Lake Park
Entrance

-Maya
This is where it happened?

-Phoenix
Yeah. Gourd Lake is in the
middle of this park.

-Maya
I can see some police
walking around in there.

-Phoenix
Questioning people, probably.

-Maya
Hey! Isn't that Detective
Gumshoe over there?

-Gumshoe
Well, pal!?

-Gumshoe
There's enough of us here!
Anyone found anything?

-Police
S-sorry, sir...
Nothing.

-Gumshoe
Idiot!
The trial's tomorrow!

-Gumshoe
We need clues, on
the double!

-Police
B-but, sir...

-Police
There weren't any clues...
that's why we arrested
that attorney, Mr. Edgeworth!

-Police
It's clear, sir.
He's the one who--

-Gumshoe
Shaddup!

-Gumshoe
Just you try saying that
again!

-Gumshoe
I'll... er... I'll make
you sorry if you do!

-Gumshoe
I mean... just, get
outta my face, pal!

-Police
Y-yes, sir!

-Maya
Detective Gumshoe's
kinda scary today!

-Gumshoe
Recruits... peh!

-Gumshoe
Aah!

Eek!

-Gumshoe
Hey, you're that
Harry guy! Harry Butz!

-Phoenix
Wright! Phoenix Wright!
(Will he ever learn my name!?)

-Gumshoe
And just what are you doing
here, pal? Investigating!?

-Phoenix
Huh? Um, well, yes.
I suppose.

-Gumshoe
Well, I'm here to help!
Ask me anything you want!

-Gumshoe
Bring it!

-Maya
He seems different than usual.
I wonder what's up?

-Maya
Umm...

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth hasn't actually
asked us to defend him yet...

-Gumshoe
Huh!?

-Gumshoe
Oh? Y-you don't say...

***Examine sign*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The sign says "Gourd Lake
* Nature Park."
*
* -Phoenix
* This place is full of families
* picnicking on the weekend.
*
* -Maya
* But... no waterfall.
*
* -Phoenix
* Not many picnickers come here
* for spiritual training, Maya.
*
********************************************

***Examine trees****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I feel winter's chill from the
* bare leaf trees today...
*
* -Phoenix
* *sigh*
* What is it about winter that
* turns people into poets?
*
* -Maya
* I don't know, but my toes
* are starting to feel numb.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Yes... my poetry has that
* effect on some people.)
*
********************************************

***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -Gumshoe
* That badge!
*
* -Gumshoe
* You're showing that to
* the wrong guy, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* You gotta show that to
* someone who needs it!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "What happened"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective Gumshoe?
*
* -Phoenix
* Do you know what
* happened here?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? You don't know, pal?
*
* -Phoenix
* No...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Wow, okay, Mr. head-in-the-
* fluffy-pink-clouds Lawyer.
*
* -Phoenix
* Head-in-the... huh?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Never mind, I'll tell you.
*
* -Gumshoe
* It happened last night, about
* 15 minutes after midnight.
*
* -Gumshoe
* There was a boat out
* on Gourd Lake.
*
* -Gumshoe
* In that boat were two men.
*
* -Gumshoe
* One of those men shot
* the other with a pistol.
*
* -Maya
* And... the shooter was
* Mr. Edgeworth?
*
* -Gumshoe
* A cop who arrived on the
* scene arrested him.
*
* -Maya
* How did he get there
* so fast?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well...
*
* -Gumshoe
* There was a witness.
*
* -Gumshoe
* When the report came in,
* we raced to the lake.
*
* -Phoenix
* A witness?
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Edgeworth"*******************
*
* -Maya
* You don't think Mr. Edgeworth
* is a... murderer!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Absolutely not!
* It's impossible!
*
* -Gumshoe
* I don't care if there's
* a witness either! I don't
* believe a lick of it!
*
* -Maya
* R-right! Who cares what
* the witness says!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I care!)
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* You really believe in him,
* don't you, Detective?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Course I do!
*
* -Gumshoe
* But... the police are pretty
* sure he's the killer.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Nobody's even really taking
* this investigation that
* seriously.
*
* -Maya
* Oh no!
*
* -Gumshoe
* After all the help Mr.
* Edgeworth has been to us...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hard to imaging that no one's
* standing up to take his side.
*
* -Maya
* Well, at least you are,
* Detective. At least you are.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Defense request"*************
*
* ***Before talking to Edgeworth**************
* *
* * -Maya
* * Do you know who will be Mr.
* * Edgeworth's defense attorney
* * in tomorrow's trial?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * He hasn't got one yet.
* *
* * -Maya
* * What?
* *
* * -Maya
* * The trial IS tomorrow,
* * isn't it?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Well, I don't know the
* * whole story...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * But apparently no one he's
* * been talking to will take
* * his case.
* *
* * -Maya
* * W-why not?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Mr. Edgeworth won't tell me!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * When you guys showed up,
* * I figured he'd asked you
* * to defend him.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * U-unfortunately not...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Well, pal, then you got
* * a job to do! Help out
* * Mr. Edgeworth!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Prove that badge you wear
* * isn't just some fancy piece
* * of metal!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Prove it to me, pal!
* * Show me you're an attorney!
* *
* ********************************************
*
* ***After talking to Edgeworth***************
* *
* * -Maya
* * I-is it true?
* *
* * -Maya
* * No one will take
* * Mr. Edgeworth's case?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Yeah...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * He's a bit of a celebrity.
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * If you defended him, and
* * lost, your reputation'd
* * be sure to suffer.
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * What's more...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * The case against him is...
* * well, it's pretty solid.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * (I suppose it would be if
* * they have a witness.)
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Hey! Pal!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Don't tell me you're going
* * to turn your back on him too!?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Remember the Steel Samurai!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Mr. Edgeworth helped you get
* * your client declared innocent!
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I... I know.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * I went to Edgeworth. I tried.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * He really doesn't want
* * us to represent him.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Especially not us, he said.
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * What!?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * W-well, that doesn't make
* * any sense, pal!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * You should have heard him
* * talking about you after the
* * Steel Samurai case!
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * He kept saying "Wright,
* * Wright, Wright" over and over.
* *
* * -Maya
* * ...
* *
* * -Maya
* * Nick?
* *
* * -Maya
* * I'm not sure that's
* * a good sign.
* *
* * -Phoenix
* * Neither am I...
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * Why wouldn't he want
* * your help?
* *
* * -Gumshoe
* * I don't get it.
* *
* ********************************************
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The witness"*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Who was this witness?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Er, sorry, pal.
* That's confidential.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Anyway, the witness
* saw everything, apparently.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm sure they'll turn
* up at the trial tomorrow.
*
* -Phoenix
* Was there only that
* one witness?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yep. It was pretty cold
* out on the lake last night.
*
* -Gumshoe
* And, it was Christmas Eve
* after all.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Still, we're being thorough.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You never know when you're
* going to turn up another
* witness.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's why we're here
* today, checking things out.
*
* -Gumshoe
* So far, we're coming up
* empty...
*
* -Maya
* Oh! It's Christmas today!
* I'd forgotten.
*
* -Maya
* What are you getting
* me for Christmas, Nick?
*
* -Phoenix
* Talk to Santa.

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Police
Detective Gumshoe, sir!

-Gumshoe
What?
Find something!?

-Police
Um, no, sir. Not yet.

-Police
But there was a call from the
precinct. They want to hold
an investigation briefing...

-Gumshoe
A briefing?

-Gumshoe
Right!
I'm off!

-Gumshoe
Oh...

-Gumshoe
Sorry, pal.
I guess you heard. I gotta go.

-Gumshoe
Any last things you want
to ask me about before
I head back?

***The autopsy report***********************
*
* -Maya
* Well, yes.
* Do you have any information
* on the victim...?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry...
*
* -Gumshoe
* They haven't worked up
* the autopsy report yet.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm still waiting for
* it myself.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Actually...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Say, if you get the time,
* drop by the precinct!
*
* -Gumshoe
* We can talk more there, pal!
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***How to get in touch with you*************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
You're not coming
back, Detective?

-Gumshoe
Erm...
Probably not, pal.

-Phoenix
So, what should we do if
we have something to talk
to you about...?

-Gumshoe
Ah, right.

-Gumshoe
Here, I'll show you how
to get to the precinct. Come
down and see me anytime.

Detective Gumshoe gave you
directions to the police
station.

-Phoenix
Oh, hey!
Detective Gumshoe!

-Gumshoe
W-what!?

-Phoenix
Um, we'd like to take
a look around in the park.

-Phoenix
Can we walk around?

-Gumshoe
Yeah! No problem, pal.
You got my permission.

-Maya
You know, Nick.

-Maya
I think there's something to
be said for talking to people
when they're busy.

-Phoenix
Yeah. They don't have time to
think about not giving you
information...

-Maya
Right!
Now, let's get investigating!

Looks like Detective Gumshoe

-Chief
Something wrong, miss?

-Chief
Hmm? Turning yourself in?

-Chief
Okay, what did you do?
Shoplifting? Larceny?
Public indecency...?

-Maya
N-no! None of those things!

-Maya
We're looking for DetectiveG
Gumshoe... is he around?

-Chief
Gumshoe?

-Chief
Oh yeah.
He's in a meeting right now.

-Chief
I don't think he'll be out

-Maya
Okay, we'll come back.

-Chief
You do that.

-Chief
Oh, and go straight home

-Chief
No more shoplifting,
you got that?

Do I look like a criminal
or something?

* There are computers and files

* I guess the detectives don't

Gourd Lake
Public Beach

-Maya
Wowsers!
This is "Gourd Lake"?

-Phoenix
Yup.

-Phoenix
I'm not sure it warrants
a "wowsers," though.

-Maya
Hmm. Probably not.

-Maya
But hey, look at
that snack stand!

-Phoenix
"Samurai Dogs"...?

-Maya
I wanna Samurai Dog!
Please!

-Maya
I bet they're great!

-Phoenix
With a name like Samurai Dog,
how could they not be?

-Maya
They're a little behind
the times, though.

-Maya
The kids are all into
"The Pink Princess" now.

-Maya
I mean, like, y'know!?

-Phoenix
(Nope.)

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

***Examine lake*****************************
*
* -Maya
* Wow.
* Gourd Lake is really big.
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah.
*
* -Maya
* Say, Nick.
* Why is it called "Gourd Lake"?
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh.
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, a long time ago, they
* used to grow gourds here.
*
* -Maya
* Whoa! No way!
*
* -Maya
* I was sure it was because
* the lake looked like a gourd
* when viewed from above!
*
* -Maya
* You know, like an hourglass
* shape?
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, it is shaped like a
* gourd, actually. But that's
* just a coincidence.
*
* -Maya
* Oh.
* Okay.
*
********************************************

***Examine trashcan*************************

***Examine benches**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A lineup of plastic benches.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess the idea is you

* Except maybe Maya... if

***Examine hot dog stand********************
*
* -Phoenix
* A hotdog stand.
* It's closed...

* The Christmas fringe looks

* The banner reads

* Hey, Nick! It might

Boat Rental Shop

Nick... what is this place?

-Phoenix
A boat rental shop.
Closed for Christmas
it seems.

-Phoenix
I guess a murder taking place
on one of the boats won't be
good for business, either.

-Maya
Boats...
I've never ridden on a boat.

-Phoenix
Really? Well, how about we
go out on one when the trial

-Maya
Hey, good idea!
You bet!

* made of aluminum.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* They didn't talk about that

* -Maya
* So, there's no law saying they

* That's quite a camera

*
* -Lotta
* Y'all better know it!
* It's German-made. A genuine
* Solingen!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Isn't that where they make

*
* -Maya
* Umm...
*
* -Maya
* So, what's that device you
* have stuck to the camera?
*
* -Lotta
* Huh? Device?
*
* -Maya
* It started moving all by
* itself when I fired my
* party popper...
*
* -Lotta
* Oh that? That triggers the
* shutter whenever it detects
* certain sounds.
*
* -Lotta
* It's programmed to pick up

*
* -Maya
* A programmable camera!
* Neat!
*
* Lotta's Camera added

*
* -Lotta
* Ayup.
*
* -Phoenix
* Actually, the victim in the
* case we're researching--he was
* shot with a pistol.
*
* -Lotta
* A pistol...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. Now wouldn't a gunshot
* make a similar noise to our
* party popper...?
*
* -Lotta
* I guess it would.
*
* -Phoenix
* Your camera... didn't get
* a picture of the murder,
* did it?
*
* -Lotta
* ...
*
* -Lotta
* Hey!
*
* -Lotta
* Y'all are pretty bright!

*
* -Lotta

* -Maya
* Has Mr. Edgeworth

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

***Talk about "The meeting"*****************
*

* So, how did the meeting go?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I can't tell you, pal!
* You're a lawyer!
*
* -Phoenix
* T-true...
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Y'know...
*

* I don't know what

*
* -Gumshoe
* Sure, Mr. Edgeworth's

*
* -Gumshoe
* Still...
*
* -Gumshoe
* I get the feeling that if
* he'd done something wrong,
* he wouldn't go hiding it.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's just the kind
* of guy he is.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Why can't anyone else

*
* -Maya
* So, they think that

*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, the trial's starting

* Y-yes, sir!

* And... do me a favor!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Stand by Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* -Gumshoe
* He needs help, and you'r

*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm sure he's got some reason
* why he won't talk to us.
*
* -Maya
* Thanks, Detective Gumshoe.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Trusting Edgeworth"**********
*
* -Maya
* Detective Gumshoe...
*
* -Maya
* How come you trust
* Mr. Edgeworth so much?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, I'd think that
* was obvious.
*
* -Gumshoe
* We got a strong working
* relationship, us two.
*
* -Gumshoe
* We trust each other,
* and that's how it works.
*
* -Maya
* A "working relationship"?
*
* -Gumshoe
* See, Mr. Edgeworth always
* gets his defendants declared
* "guilty" every time.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, his methods might be
* a little extreme at times.
*
* -Gumshoe
* But... there's a reason!
*
* -Gumshoe
* He trusts our investigation,
* see? He trusts us to get the
* right man!
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's why I work
* extra hard, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* We've got to earn that
* trust he places in us.
*
* -Maya
* I see...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Mr. Edgeworth is a man
* you can trust...
*
* -Gumshoe
* And you have my
* word on that!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The autopsy report"**********
*
* -Phoenix
* I was wondering, did you
* ever get that autopsy report?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, that?
* Yeah, I made a copy for you.
*
* Added Autopsy Report to
* the Court Record.
*
* -Phoenix

* Can you show me that

*

*
* -Phoenix

Bingo...?

My automatic camera took two

Hey!

This is them.
Take a look!

Wait...!

See? See? He's shooting
him with that pistol!

I-it looks like that, yes.

Yeah, well there was enough

Seeing these photos

T-tell us what you

Nice try, honey, but I

I'm a witness, and that means

* Oh, well originally,

* Y'know, like "guard dogs"?
*
* -Maya
* Ouch...
*
* -Butz
* The Samurai thing was
* Kiyance's idea. Oh,

*
* -Butz
* She was all "change the

*
* -Butz
* She made me that banner!

* -Butz
* Yeah, Nick, him, and I used

*
* -Maya
* Wow... I never knew.
*
* -Butz
* Don't get me wrong. He's

* stick in the mud.
*
* -Butz
* Studying all the time,

*
* -Maya
* Like his father...?
*
* -Butz
* Yeah. Edgey's pop was

* Wow.

* Wait...
*
* -Maya
* You said "defense lawyer"?
*
* -Butz
* Yeah.

* -Maya
* Wait a second!
*
* -Maya
* But Mr. Edgeworth is
* a prosecuting attorney!
*
* -Butz
* What? Edgey's got a
* proboscis on his knee!?
*
* -Maya
* No, no--he's a "prosecuting
* attorney."
*
* -Maya
* That's like the total opposite
* of a defense lawyer!
*
* -Butz
* ...
*
* -Butz
* Huh.
* Go figure!
*
* -Butz
* He always used to talk about
* defending the "weak" who were
* "unable to defend themselves."
*
* -Butz
* Man, he used to go on and
* on about man's duty to society
* and all that. What a bore!
*

* A... monster?

* Yeah.

*
* -Maya
* Wow!

* -Maya
* Nick!
* A monster! A real monster!
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm... yeah.
* (It's probably just a log or
* something... right?)
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey... there's a quote here
* from the person who took
* the photo.
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm? What's this?
*
* -Phoenix
* "I set the camera to
* automatic, and when we
* got into the frame..."
*
* -Phoenix
* "I heard a loud 'bang'!
* Like an explosion..."
*
* -Phoenix
* "followed by the sound of
* something slipping into the
* water..."
*
* -Maya
* I wish I could have seen it!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Why would there be a sound
* like an explosion...?)
*
* -Phoenix
* Larry.
*
* -Phoenix
* Could I borrow this
* article from you?
*
* -Butz
* Sure, no problem.
* That'll be one
* million dollars!
*
* -Maya
* O-one million...?

*
* -Maya
* Was that medium my mother?

* -Phoenix
* They never caught the

*
* -Grossberg
* Correct.
*
* -Grossberg
* Misty Fey used her powers to
* talk to the spirit of the late
* victim.

* -Grossberg
* Her testimony led to charges
* being laid against one man.
*
* -Grossberg
* But Mr. Hammond won the case

* Edgeworth?

* The victim in the DL-6 Incident
* was none other than his

*
* -Maya
* Wh-what!?

*
* -Grossberg
* ...

* -Grossberg

*
* -Edgeworth
* Who would have thought
* there'd be a photo...?
*
* -Phoenix
* Edgeworth...
* Did you shoot him?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* What do you think, Wright?
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't think you're the
* kind to point a gun at
* anyone, no.
*
* -Maya
* So you didn't shoot him?
*
* -Edgeworth
* No, I didn't.
* It wasn't me.
*

* What's that?
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'm not in the mood
* for idle banter, Wright.

***Present Misty Fey's Photo****************
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...!
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Edgeworth?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's only been a matter of
* hours since you last visited.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Yet you've made incredible
* progress in your
* investigation.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'll admit it, I'm impressed,
* Wright.
*
* -Edgeworth
* You were always single-
* minded in your work, though.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Once you start on something,
* you always see it through,
* don't you?
*
* -Phoenix
* About the "DL-6 Incident"...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Right... DL-6.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I didn't want you to
* find out about it.
*
* -Edgeworth
* That is why I refused your
* offer to defend me.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'm sorry if it sounded
* like I thought you weren't
* up to the job.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I just wanted to keep
* you away from DL-6.
*
* -Phoenix
* So... do you still think
* it would have been better
* for me to stay away?
*
* -Edgeworth
* I don't know.
*
* -Edgeworth
* But...
*
* -Edgeworth
* I see no point in hiding
* anything from you now.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Very well.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Ask whatever you like, and
* I will answer to the best
* of my abilities.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The DL6 Incident"***********
*
* -Edgeworth
* The "DL-6 Incident"...
* was when my father died.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Right before my eyes...
*
* -Edgeworth
* He was shot and killed,
* and I saw it all.
*
* -Maya
* ...!
*
* -Edgeworth
* My memories from that
* time are... foggy.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I suppose it's a self-defense
* mechanism.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In any case, a suspect
* was arrested... a man.
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's pretty clear he was the
* only one who could have killed
* my father.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The spirit medium they used to
* talk to my late father said
* the same thing.
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was an attorney by the name
* of Robert Hammond that cleared
* the suspect's name.
*
* -Phoenix
* And Hammond... is the victim
* in the Gourd Lake murder?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Correct.
*
* -Maya
* Umm...
*
* -Maya
* That spirit medium...
* that was my mom.
*
* -Edgeworth
* What? You mean you're...?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's strange.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I thought that terrible
* incident was about to end,
* and now... this.
*
* -Phoenix
* "About to end"?
*
* -Edgeworth
* The DL-6 Incident happened
* 15 years ago.
*
* -Edgeworth
* 15 years ago...
* on December 28.
*
* -Maya
* December 28?
*
* -Edgeworth
* The statute of limitations
* on the case runs out in
* three days.
*
* -Phoenix
* What!?
*
* -Maya
* Um, Nick?
* What does that mean?
*
* -Phoenix
* When a case's statute of
* limitations runs out, legally,
* the case never happened.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Three days from now, DL-6
* will be closed... forever.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The suspect"*****************
*
* -Maya
* What happened to the suspect?
* The one who got off innocent?
*
* -Edgeworth
* I don't know...
*
* -Edgeworth
* He disappeared from public
* view. Nobody knows where to.
*
* -Edgeworth
* If he's still alive, he'd
* be about 50 years old now.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I guess I can understand
* why he'd go into hiding...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (It'd be hard to live a normal
* life after being a murder
* suspect in such a big case.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Your father"*****************
*
* -Maya
* Umm... so, was your
* father a lawyer?
*
* -Edgeworth
* He was...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Gregory Edgeworth.
* He was quite famous at
* the time, apparently.
*
* -Maya
* So, you were sort of trying
* to follow in his footsteps.
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'd rather not talk about it.
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING IMPORTANT

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Wright.

-Phoenix
?

-Edgeworth
It pains me to ask you
this now...

-Maya
I know! You want us
to defend you!

-Edgeworth
Yes... Will you?

***Of course we will***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Ah, who could have
* guessed this day
* would come?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Not me.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Of course we won't**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Sorry, charley!
* No way!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Wright...
*
* -Maya
* Nick...!?
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* H-hey, don't look
* so serious, guys!
*
* -Phoenix
* I was kidding!
*
* -Phoenix
* Just a little joke!
*
* -Edgeworth
* There was nothing little...
*
* -Maya
* ...or joke-like about it!
*
* -Phoenix
* (I thought it was funny...)
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
* Do it over!
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes, Your Honor.
*
* -Phoenix
* How could I refuse you,
* Edgeworth?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Thank you, Wright.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
This is my chance to
finally pay you back.

-Maya
Pay him back...?

-Edgeworth
Pay me back?

-Edgeworth
For what?
I don't remember ever doing
anything for you.

-Phoenix
Never mind... I guess you
don't really need to know.

-Edgeworth
Huh...

-Edgeworth
My letter of request.
Please give it to
Detective Gumshoe.

Edgeworth's Request put
in pocket.

-Phoenix
Well, I guess we should...

-Phoenix
..?

-Phoenix
W-what's that!?

-Maya
E-earthquake!
Nick!

-Maya
It's a big one!

-Maya
Whaaaaa!

-Maya
I-it's calming down...

-Maya
..

-Maya
Whew... that was scary!

-Phoenix
..?

-Phoenix
Huh? Where's Edgeworth?

-Maya
..

-Maya
There.

-Maya
He's on the floor in
a ball, shivering.

-Maya
I guess he doesn't do
so well with earthquakes.

-Phoenix
(I've heard of running, but
curling up in a ball?)

-Maya
Well, I guess we're done.

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth doesn't seem
like he's going to stand up
any time soon.

-Maya
Let's go, Nick.

-Phoenix
Uh... right.

-Phoenix
We have to give Edgeworth's
letter of request to Detective
Gumshoe.

MOVE TO: Criminal Affairs Dept.

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

***Present Edgeworth's Request**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Look what I got.
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, you did it, pal!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Glad I waited till the last
* minute to file those papers!
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'll rip 'em up and start
* new ones for you!
*
* -Phoenix
* Thanks, Detective.
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, see you in court
* tomorrow, then.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Good luck, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey!
*
* -Gumshoe
* You guys feel that earthquake
* a little while back?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I was worried!
*
* -Maya
* Worried?
*
* -Maya
* We're fine! I've lived out
* here my whole life. I'm pretty
* used to them by now.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, I wasn't worried about
* you two.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I was worried about
* Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Oh, right...)
*
* -Phoenix
* He did seem to over-react
* a little, now that you
* mention it.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, well, I'm not surprised.
* It was a pretty big quake.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm going to go check on him.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You two go eat and get your
* rest for tomorrow's trial.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Later!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I wonder what it is with
* Mr. Edgeworth and earthquakes?
*
* -Phoenix
* I wonder...
*
* -Phoenix
* He was never that scared
* of them when he was in
* school.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Then again, I was only in
* the same class as him for
* 4th grade.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (He transferred to another
* school after that.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I wonder what happened
* to Edgeworth...)

December 26, 9:44 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
Karma...?

-Edgeworth
That's right, Manfred von
Karma. He's the best
prosecutor there is.

-Edgeworth
He hasn't lost a case
in his 40-year career.

-Edgeworth
He is a god of prosecution,
Wright! A god!

-Maya
Not a single case?

-Edgeworth
He'll do anything to get
a guilty verdict, anything.

-Phoenix
Hmm. Sounds like someone
else I know, Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
Hmph.

-Edgeworth
You don't understand.

-Edgeworth
I mean he'll really do
anything. Manfred von Karma
is a man to be feared.

-Phoenix
(That's quite a claim coming
from someone who forges
evidence...)

-Edgeworth
He taught me what it really
means to "prosecute."

-Phoenix
Wh-what!?

-Edgeworth
Just picture a prosecutor
as vicious as me... multiplied
by a factor of ten.

-Maya
Ugh...

-Maya
So... so was he your teacher,
then, Mr. Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
Something like that...

-Maya
And now he's trying to
get you found guilty!?
What a creep!

-Maya
Oh, wait...

-Maya
Maybe he's planning on losing
on purpose to help you out!

-Edgeworth
Not a chance...

-Edgeworth
He hasn't lost once in
40 years. 40 years!

-Edgeworth
He's as ruthless as me,
times twenty!

-Maya
That's pretty ruthless...

-Edgeworth
Like I said. He's a god
among prosecutors.

-Phoenix
(I guess that's something
like Mia was to me.)

-Phoenix
(Speaking of Mia...)

-Phoenix
Um, Maya?

-Maya
Uh huh?

-Phoenix
We could really be using Mia's
help right now... don't
you think?

-Maya
Oh...

-Phoenix
?

-Maya
I can't.

-Maya
Sorry. I tried, I really
tried, but I couldn't reach.

-Phoenix
You couldn't "reach"?

-Maya
I think it's because I
haven't been training.

-Maya
My powers are weak again...

-Phoenix
Oh man, what bad timing!

-Maya
I'm really sorry.

-Maya
I'll try my best!

-Phoenix
I hope so!

-Edgeworth
What are you whispering about?

-Phoenix
O-oh, it's nothing.

-Phoenix
Well, it's time.
Let's head in...

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

December 26, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 3

Court is now in session for
the trial of Mr. Miles
Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Karma
..

-Judge
Erm, Mr. von Karma?
Is the prosecution ready?

-Karma
..

-Karma
Fool...

-Karma
You seriously think that
I would stand here were
I not completely prepared?

-Judge
R-right,
my apologies!

-Phoenix
(He's even got the Judge
scared!)

-Judge
Very well, your opening
statement, please.

-Karma
..

-Karma
Decisive evidence...

-Karma
A decisive witness...

-Karma
What else could possibly
be required?

-Judge
Ah... er, nothing of course.
That should be fine.

-Judge
The prosecution may call
its first witness.

-Maya
What's with this guy? Is he
royalty or something?

-Phoenix
How am I supposed to fight
against this!?

-Karma
I call the detective in charge
of this case, Detective Dick
Gumshoe.

-Phoenix
(Okay, Gumshoe's first...
Let's see how this goes.)

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

-Karma
Describe the incident. Now!

-Gumshoe
Y-yessir!

-Phoenix
(Detective Gumshoe looks
nervous...)

-Gumshoe
Er, please take a look
at the map.

-Gumshoe
The murder happened late
Christmas Eve, around
midnight.

-Gumshoe
There was one boat in the
very middle of the lake.

-Gumshoe
There were two men
on the boat.

-Gumshoe
Now, there happened to
be a woman camping here
on the edge of the lake.

-Gumshoe
At 12:10 AM, she heard two
pistol shots.

-Gumshoe
Then the boat started to move.

-Gumshoe
It went towards the boat
rental shop.

-Karma
Hmm.

Overhead Map added to
the Court Record.

-Karma
Testify to the court
about your arrest. Now!

-Judge
W-w-wait!
Mr. von Karma...

-Karma
Yes?

-Judge
Actually, I'm the one
that's supposed to be
handling these proceedings...

-Karma
Wrong. There is only one
thing you need to do here.

-Karma
You will slam down your
gavel and say the word
"guilty." That is your role!

-Judge
Y-yes, of course.
You're quite right.

-Phoenix
(No he's not!!!)

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Arrest of Edgeworth --

(1)
-Gumshoe
A man called into the station
around 30 minutes after
midnight.

(2)
-Gumshoe
We headed to the scene of
the crime as fast as we could.

(3)
-Gumshoe
That's where we found
Mr. Edgeworth.

(4)
-Gumshoe
Now, I didn't suspect
him of anything at all.

(5)
-Gumshoe
But... the next morning,
a body was found in the lake.

(6)
-Gumshoe
So we had to arrest
Mr. Edgeworth.

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

-Judge
Hmm... I see.
Very well...

-Karma
Begin your cross-examination,
attorney. Now!

-Judge
..

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Arrest of Edgeworth --

(1)
-Gumshoe
A man called into the station
around 30 minutes after
midnight.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You received a call from
  a "man"?

  -Gumshoe
  Er... yup.

  -Phoenix
  But you said there was
  a woman camping there?

  -Phoenix
  She was the one who
  heard the two gunshots, right?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  That woman and the "man" who
  called in the report are two
  different people, obviously!

  -Phoenix
  Different people?

  -Karma
  There were two witnesses!

  -Phoenix
  (Urk!)

  -Karma
  Their testimonies were
  quite similar however.

  -Karma
  Today I've summoned the
  woman who was camping.

  -Phoenix
  (The woman who was camping...
  Lotta Hart.)

  -Karma
  What happened next, Detective?

(2)
-Gumshoe
We headed to the scene of
the crime as fast as we could.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How long was it between
  receiving the report and your
  arrival at te lake?

  -Gumshoe
  Er, well... I'd say it
  was about three minutes.

  -Phoenix
  That's pretty fast!

  -Gumshoe
  Our motto for the month
  is "get there quick."

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Detective! You will refrain
  from casually revealing
  department secrets!

  -Gumshoe
  Y-yessir!
  Sorry, sir!

  -Karma
  Do that, and you'll be able
  to look forward to your next
  salary review.

  -Gumshoe
  So much to look forward
  to, these days...

  -Karma
  This is no time for
  daydreaming! Continue!

  -Gumshoe
  Y-yessir!

(3)
-Gumshoe
That's where we found
Mr. Edgeworth.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What was Mr. Edgeworth like
  when you saw him then?

  -Gumshoe
  Well...

  -Gumshoe
  From what I saw, he looked
  pretty relaxed. Not like a
  murderer at all, really.

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Detective! The court requires
  the facts, NOT your opinion!

  -Karma
  How many years have you
  been on the force!?

  -Karma
  Facts only, Detective!
  Hard, cold, objective facts!

  -Gumshoe
  Y-y-yessir!

  -Phoenix
  (Man, he's got his share
  of objections...)

(4)
-Gumshoe
Now, I didn't suspect
him of anything at all.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why didn't you think he
  was suspicious?

  -Gumshoe
  You should know!

  -Gumshoe
  We have a deep, trusting
  relationship with the
  prosecutors.

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Detective! The court isn't
  interested in your musings!

  -Karma
  "Deep"? "Trusting"?
  Poppycock!

  -Karma
  I've never heard so many
  flippant comments from an
  active detective on the force!

  -Gumshoe
  Mmph!

  -Phoenix
  (Detective Gumshoe doesn't
  look so good...)

  -Karma
  Continue! Now!

(5)
-Gumshoe
But... the next morning,
a body was found in the lake.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Did you find any clues
  on the body?

  -Gumshoe
  A single bullet was recovered
  from the body.

  -Gumshoe
  He was shot through the
  heart... fatally.

  CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY

  -Karma
  Judge!
  Here's the bullet...

  -Karma
  It didn't strike bone, so its
  shape is well preserved.

  -Judge
  Very well. The court accepts
  this bullet into evidence.

  Pistol Bullet added to
  the Court Record.

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION IF PISTOL POSSESSED

(6a)
-Gumshoe
So we had to arrest
Mr. Edgeworth.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  W-why is that?

  -Gumshoe
  Well, we found the murder
  weapon in the boat.

  -Phoenix
  The murder weapon...?

  -Gumshoe
  A pistol.

  -Judge
  Detective Gumshoe...

  -Judge
  That is a vital piece of
  information. Please revise
  your testimony.

  -Gumshoe
  Right! S-sorry, Your Honor.

  Change to 6b

(6b)
-Gumshoe
The murder weapon we found
in the boat was decisive
evidence.

  -Phoenix
  What about the pistol made
  it "decisive evidence"?

  -Karma
  Tsk tsk tsk...

  -Phoenix
  (Ack! He has the same evil
  laugh as Edgeworth...)

  -Gumshoe
  There were fingerprints on the
  pistol found in the boat.

  -Gumshoe
  They were clear prints from
  Mr. Edgeworth's right hand.

  -Phoenix
  Wh-what!?

  CONTINUE FOR FIRST TIME ONLY

  -Judge
  Order! Order!

  -Judge
  So Mr. Edgeworth's finger-
  prints were found on the
  murder weapon!?

  -Gumshoe
  Y-yes, Your Honor.

  -Karma
  Judge!
  This is the weapon
  in question.

  -Judge
  A-accepted into evidence.

  Pistol added to
  the Court Record.

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION IF PISTOL BULLET POSSESSED

-Maya
Nick.

-Maya
Doesn't it seem like
Detective Gumshoe is
being a little vague?

-Phoenix
I bet von Karma
is feeding him lines!

-Phoenix
His testimony's probably
filled with landmines just
waiting for me to press.

-Maya
What do we do?

-Phoenix
Grit our teeth and press,
I guess. What else can we do?

-Maya
Well said, Nick!
You're the man!

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

-Karma
Members of the court...

-Karma
We now have the pistol used
in the murder, and the bullet
found in the body!

-Karma
Detective!

-Gumshoe
Y-y-yessir!

-Karma
Was the bullet found in the</pre><pre id="faqspan-17">
body fired from this pistol?

-Gumshoe
Yes. The ballistic markings on
the bullet match the pistol.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Maya
Hey, Nick!

-Maya
What does he mean,
"ballistic markings"?

-Karma
Shocking!

-Karma
To imagine someone here does
not know something as basic
as ballistic markings!

-Maya
N-Nick! He's glaring at me!

-Karma
Tsk... very well,
I'll explain.

-Karma
Actually, Judge!
You do it.

-Judge
Eh? M-me?

-Judge
..

-Judge
Erm, ahem.

-Judge
Ballistic markings are like
the "fingerprints" of a gun.

-Judge
The barrel leaves distinctive
marks on each bullet it
fires.

-Judge
You can examine these
"ballistic fingerprints" to
see which gun fired the shot.

-Judge
It's quite accurate.

-Karma
Indeed.

-Karma
This leads to one, inevitable
conclusion: the bullet found
in the victim's heart...

-Karma
was, without a doubt,
fired from this pistol.

-Karma
This pistol which, as you may
recall, was covered with the
defendant's own fingerprints!

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Phoenix
(This is bad...)

-Phoenix
(This makes it look like
Edgeworth did it!)

-Karma
Well, Judge?

-Judge
I'd say it's almost
decisive, yes.

-Judge
Honestly, I could declare
a verdict at this point.

-Judge
However...

-Karma
You wish to hear the witness
speak, no doubt.

-Karma
Very well.

-Karma
I am somewhat fatigued, and
so I will take a brief break.

-Karma
I will call my witness
after the recess.

-Karma
Which will last ten minutes.

-Karma
Judge!

-Judge
Y-yes?

-Karma
What are you doing?
A ten minute recess! Now!

-Judge
B-but, wait, I...

-Karma
Just bang your flimsy gavel
and get on with it, man!

-Judge
Y-yes!

-Judge
Ahem. This court will take
a ten minute recess.

-Phoenix
(Who's running this court,
anyway!?)

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

December 26, 11:09 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
Edgeworth!
What's going on here!?

-Phoenix
Your fingerprints were
on the murder weapon!

-Edgeworth
Uh... hmm...

-Phoenix
And that foggy photo
makes one thing clear...

-Phoenix
The only one who could have
shot that man was the person
in the photo!

-Edgeworth
True...

-Phoenix
Was that you in the boat?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Yes. It was me.

-Phoenix
What!?

-Edgeworth
But... you must believe
me. I didn't shoot him.

-Phoenix
Th-then who did!?

-Edgeworth
I... don't know.

-Phoenix
You don't know!?
Weren't you right there!?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
I heard a gunshot from
very close by.

-Edgeworth
Then... the other man
fell from the boat.

-Edgeworth
I can't say why, but...

-Edgeworth
I thought, at the time, that
he had shot himself!

-Phoenix
Y-you mean it was a suicide!?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
That's the only explanation
I can come up with.

-Phoenix
Huh...
(How am I going to convince
anyone of that!?)

-Phoenix
Say, Maya?

-Maya
Huh? Wh-what?

-Phoenix
Any progress with Mia?

-Maya
Oh...

-Maya
Sorry.
It's no good.

-Phoenix
Ugh...

-Maya
I know...

-Maya
I'm no good for anything,
am I, Nick?

-Maya
If I can't call my sister,
I might as well not be
here, right?

***No, I need you here**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* No, of course not,
* I need you here!
*
* -Phoenix
* I can see you're always
* trying to help out.
*
* -Phoenix
* Even if you don't actually
* help... it's the thought that

*
* -Maya
* It's okay Nick, you don't

***Yeah, you're useless*********************

-Maya
I don't know anything

What's more, I'm a spirit

-Phoenix
Aww, everyone has their
off days!

-Phoenix
I mean, I've just been
getting lucky lately...

-Phoenix
But you never know when
my luck is going to run out!

-Maya
Really...?

-Edgeworth
W-w-whoa! Wright!

-Edgeworth
Don't jinx this case any

-Edgeworth
It's bad for my heart...

-Phoenix
Oh? Oh! S-sorry...
(Whoops!)

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

-Judge
Court is back in session.

-Judge
Mr. von Karma, call
your witness.

-Karma
Yes.

-Karma
Will Ms. Lotta Hart
take the stand?

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

-Karma
Lotta Hart, you are a
research student at a
university?

-Lotta
That I am.

-Karma
Good. Begin by telling us
what you saw the night of
the incident.

-Karma
And don't add anything
trivial or subjective.

-Karma
Understand?

-Lotta
..

-Lotta
Y'all need to learn
some manners.

-Karma
UNDERSTAND?

-Lotta
Y-yeah, I understand,
I understand!

-Judge
Er... very well.
Your testimony, please.

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Lotta
It was Christmas Eve, just
after midnight, I reckon.

(2)
-Lotta
I was in my car.

(3)
-Lotta
I heard this "bang"
come up from the lake.

(4)
-Lotta
When I looked out the
window, I saw two gents
in a boat.

(5)
-Lotta
Then there was another
"bang"...

(6)
-Lotta
There wasn't nary a thing
on the lake but that boat.

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

-Karma
Enough.

-Lotta
Huh?

-Karma
Judge!

-Karma
She happened to take
a photo of the incident!

-Karma
This is that photo.
Accept it as evidence.

-Judge
W-well! This is a surprise!

-Judge
This looks like... the very
moment of the murder!

-Judge
O-Order! I will remove you
from the court if I do not
have order immediately!

-Karma
As the witness testified,
she looked at the lake when
she heard the shot.

-Karma
There were no other boats
on that lake!

-Karma
So, the man in the boat with
the victim must have been the
one who shot him...

-Karma
Yes. It was the defendant,
Miles Edgeworth!!!

-Judge
Order! Order! Order...!
I will have order!

-Karma
..

-Karma
Well, Judge?

-Judge
The evidence is... decisive.

-Judge
I have very little doubt
about this case.

-Judge
Very well, this court finds
the defendant...

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
W-wait! Your Honor!

-Phoenix
I haven't cross-examined
the witness yet!

-Karma
A cross-examination?

-Karma
We have photographic proof!
What question can there
possibly be!?

-Karma
This photo is worth a thousand
words... and they all read
"guilty"!

-Karma
You lose.

-Karma
Or...

-Karma
Do you claim to have found
a contradiction in her
testimony!?

-Phoenix
..!

-Karma
Very well. If you have to, you
may cross-examine the witness.

-Karma
You will only flounder and
ask meaningless questions!

-Karma
You will fail to find
anything!

-Karma
And then, I will have you
held in contempt of court!

-Maya
Uh, Nick... contempt...?

-Phoenix
"Contempt of court," you know?

-Maya
I... guess I understand.

-Maya
Well... what are you
going to do?

-Maya
Do you really think there
was a contradiction with the
facts in her testimony?

***I think there was************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I... think I noticed
* one little thing...
*
* -Maya
* Wow, I'm impressed, Nick!
* I didn't notice anything!
*
* -Maya
* Right! Let's take him on!
*
* -Phoenix
* Y-yeah...
* (I got a bad feeling
* about this...)
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***I think there wasn't*********************
*
* -Phoenix
* Honestly, I found nothing.
*
* -Maya
* I dunno, I thought her
* testimony was strange.
*
* -Maya
* She was so vague
* about everything!
*
* -Phoenix
* I bet von Karma probably fed
* her her lines.
*
* -Maya
* But...
*
* -Maya
* But if you don't cross-
* examine her, the judge
* will...
*
* -Phoenix
* He'll bang down that "flimsy
* gavel" of his and declare
* Edgeworth guilty.
*
* -Maya
* I guess we'll just
* have to bluff it.
*
* -Phoenix
* But if we mess up...
* contempt of court.
*
* -Maya
* Hey, if we lose we'll
* be held in public
* contempt!
*
* -Phoenix
* Er... right.
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
I understand...
I will cross-examine
the witness!

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...
Very well!

-Judge
I pray for your sake this
isn't a waste of time.

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Witness's Account --

(1)
-Lotta
It was Christmas Eve, just
after midnight, I reckon.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Just after midnight,"
  you say?

  -Phoenix
  In other words, it was no
  longer Christmas Eve...
  but Christmas Day!

  -Lotta
  Huh? Uh, yeah, well, yes.

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  I know you want to find

  -Phoenix
  Mmmph.

  I hope your next contradiction

  -Judge
  Witness, continue your

(2)
-Lotta
I was in my car.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Why were you camping there,

  -Lotta
  I'm a research student at my

I heard this "bang"

  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, you weren't looking at
  the lake at the time?

  -Lotta
  Nope.

  -Lotta
  I looked after I heard
  that noise.

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  She's said that already!

  -Karma
  I asked you to find
  "contradictions"!

  -Karma
  Not leisurely chat with the
  witness!

  -Phoenix
  (Urk...)

(4)
-Lotta
When I looked out the
window, I saw two gents
in a boat.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Could you clearly

  Well, yeah, sure...

  -Karma

  -Karma
  You're asking meaningless

  -Karma
  "Contradictions," Mr. Wright.

There wasn't nary a thing

END AFTER PRESSING ON MOST OF TESTIMONY

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

-Judge
Enough!

-Judge
I think we've heard all we
need to hear, Mr. Wright.

-Judge
It seems you are unable to
find a contradiction in the
testimony worth noting.

-Phoenix
B-but, Your Honor!

-Karma
You keep your promise!

-Judge
Mr. Wright.

-Judge
I am afraid that I will
have to penalize any
further outbursts...

-Judge
By holding you in
contempt of court!

-Karma
And if that happens,
you'll have to leave the
courtroom immediately!

-Karma
Understood...?

-Phoenix
Uh... uh huh.

-Maya
Nick...!

-Maya
Lotta's testimony is
fishy, Nick! Real fishy!

-Phoenix
I... know what you mean.

-Phoenix
But...

-Phoenix
If I can't say anything,
what can I do?

-Judge
I believe we've covered
the evidence sufficiently
to make a decision.

-Karma
Then, pass your judgment!

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Mr. Miles Edgeworth,
please take the stand.

-???
*HOLD IT!*

-Judge
Wh-who was that!?

-Maya
It... was me.

-Phoenix
(Maya!)

-Judge
I-is something wrong?
D-do you need to use
the facilities?

-Maya
No, I do not!

-Maya
Lotta Hart!

-Maya
Your testimony stinks!

-Maya
It's unclear whether you
were actually looking at
the lake!

-Maya
It's highly doubtful that
you actually saw
Mr. Edgeworth!

-Maya
Tell us the truth!

-Maya
This is a matter
of life or death!

-Lotta
..!

-Maya
Lotta!

-Maya
Did you really clearly
see Mr. Edgeworth that night!?

-Maya
Did you see him fire
that pistol!?

-Judge
You will stand down!

-Judge
The court does not acknowledge
the defense's outburst!

-Maya
Answer me, Lotta!

-Lotta
What's the big idea,
treating me like some
kind of criminal!?

-Lotta
I saw him! I swear it!
I saw Edgeworth...

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Enough!

-Karma
Judge...

-Karma
Declare the defense in
contempt of court!

-Judge
Y-yes... yes, of course.

-Judge
I'm sorry, but you
WERE warned.

-Judge
Guard! Escort Mr. Wright
out of the courtroom!

-Judge
He is in contempt of
court, and must leave.

-Phoenix
(No...)

-Phoenix
(No...!)

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

Wait!

-Maya
I-I was the one who made
the outburst, Your Honor!

-Maya
Nick is innocent!

-Karma
Hah!

-Karma
What's the difference?

-Karma
All that remains is for
the guilty verdict to be
declared!

Isn't that right,

Did you hear what Ms. Hart
just said?

-Phoenix
She said she clearly

That was not in the

That changes her testimony,

cross-examine her again!

-Judge
Order! Order! Order!

You're in contempt of

-Judge
I'm sorry, Mr. von Karma,
but I cannot.

-Karma
What!?

-Judge
Ms. Lotta Hart has made
a new testimony.

-Judge
The defense does have a right
to cross-examine her again.

-Karma
B-but he is in contempt
of court!

-Maya
No, I am!

-Maya
If you're going to arrest
someone, arrest me!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Very well.

Maya Fey!

You will leave the

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- That Last Statement --

(1)
-Lotta
I saw it clear as day.
The man on the boat
was Mr. Edgeworth!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Well, what about the
  other man?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  You cannot expect to be
  allowed to blithely ignore
  your promise, Mr. Wright!

  -Karma
  I believe you claimed there
  was a contradiction in the
  witness's testimony!

  -Karma
  Well, find it!

  -Karma
  If you can!

  -Judge
  Mr. Wright, I have to
  assign you a penalty.

  -Phoenix
  (Damn...!)

-Phoenix
(That's it...?)

-Phoenix
(Uh oh. I don't know if
I can find anything
in that...)

-Phoenix
(What will Maya say...?)

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Got you.

-Phoenix
Got you, Ms. Hart!
Finally!

-Lotta
Wh-what!?
You got what?

-Phoenix
Look at this photograph.

-Lotta
The photo I took...?

-Phoenix
The very same.

-Phoenix
There's something I want
you to see in this photo...
it's quite clearly visible.

-Phoenix
The fog, Ms. Hart.

-Lotta
So... so?

-Phoenix
This picture was taken
with professional, high
quality film, correct?

-Phoenix
Yet even it could not
capture the faces of
the men on the boat!

-Phoenix
Yet you claim you
saw Mr. Edgeworth!

-Phoenix
How!?

-Lotta
Whut!? Wha--!

-Judge
Mr. Wright has a point!

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
That's why I told her
not to say that in her
testimony! Please!

-Phoenix
Yet, now she has said
it, Mr. von Karma.

-Phoenix
How could you possibly
see Mr. Edgeworth!?
Explain yourself!

-Judge
Ms. Hart.

-Lotta
What!

-Judge
Could you see the
defendant that night?

-Lotta
O-of course! I said I could
and I meant I could!

-Judge
Then, please testify
as to the circumstances
of your sighting.

-Phoenix
(I did it!)

-Phoenix
(I finally found a hole in
von Karma's carefully
vague testimony!)

WITNESS TESTIMONY

-Lotta
Yer right. It was a cold
night, and the fog was
thick as grits.

(2)
-Lotta
So, once I was finished
setting up my camera, I
got back in the car.

(3)
-Lotta
Still, I brought my
binoculars with me.

(4)

When I heard that noise out
on the lake, I looked with
my binoculars.

-Lotta
See? No problem!

Hmm... You used binoculars?

Very well.
You may begin your cross-
examination, Mr. Wright.

  see Edgeworth!?

  Now, just hold your

  Yeah.
  It's got an automatic...

  -Karma

-Lotta
Still, I brought my
binoculars with me.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Binoculars"?

  -Lotta
  Yeah, binoculars.

  -Phoenix
  Yesterday, you mentioned
  that you were out looking
  for shooting stars, correct?

  -Lotta
  Well... yeah.

  -Phoenix
  Wouldn't you need a telescope,
  not binoculars, for that?

  -Lotta
  ...!

  -Phoenix
  I've got doubts about your
  camera, too!

  -Phoenix
  Was that really to take
  pictures of meteor showers?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  The camera is irrelevant
  to this case!

  -Phoenix
  You can't say that
  for certain!

  -Judge
  Hmm... Mr. Wright.

  -Judge
  Is the camera really
  relevant to this case?

  -Judge
  If you believe it is,
  you may continue with
  this line of questioning.

  -Karma
  But know this!

  -Karma
  If you find nothing with
  this, there will be
  consequences!

  -Judge
  Well, Mr. Wright?

  If there was a heavy
  fog, how would binoculars
  change that at all?

  -Lotta
  What do you mean?

  -Phoenix
  Even binoculars can't
  see through fog!

  -Phoenix
  But... you say you
  clearly saw him?

  -Lotta
  Er...

  -Lotta
  I did... yeah.

  -Karma
  Enough!

  -Karma
  There is no room for
  doubt in her testimony!

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm. She sounded pretty
  doubtful to me!)

  -Phoenix
  (But... I have to find a
  clear contradiction first.)

-Phoenix
(I don't care how many
von Karmic objections
I get...)

-Phoenix
(I'm going to find a hole
in this testimony if it's
the last thing I do!)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
You were photographing
shooting stars? That's
a lie!

-Lotta
S-says who!?

-Phoenix
I saw the camera you
set up yesterday.

-Phoenix
It was pointed directly
at the lake!

-Phoenix
You have to point a camera
upwards to take photos of
the stars, Ms. Hart!

-Lotta
Ooof!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What are you driving at?

-Phoenix
The witness was not at the
lake to photograph shooting
stars, Your Honor!

-Lotta
..!

-Judge
W-well then, what exactly
was she photographing?

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Ms. Hart.

-Phoenix
This is what you were
trying to photograph!

-Judge
What's this?
A newspaper article?

-Judge
"Gourdy"...?

-Judge
Ah, the sighting at Gourd
Lake...

-Phoenix
Well, Ms. Hart?

-Lotta
I... I never heard of no
lake monster! You got
proof or something?

-Lotta
Let's see you prove that I was
down at the lake trying to
photograph this "Gourdy."

***I don't have proof***********************

Very well, let's see it.
And... no joking around

Here is proof that the witness

Gourdy, the lake monster!

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
The proof, Ms. Hart, is
your own camera!

-Lotta
..!

-Phoenix
Your camera was set to take
photos in response to loud
noises, correct?

-Phoenix
This this photograph here,
taken when a gun fired on
the lake.

-Lotta
..

-Phoenix
And here, this article
about "Gourdy."

-Phoenix
According to this article...

-Phoenix
Gourdy made a loud noise
when it emerged!

-Phoenix
Well?

-Phoenix
You were trying to
photograph Gourdy,
weren't you!

-Phoenx
That's why you had set
your camera to respond
to loud noises!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
I see...

-Judge
I, too, thought it
was a little strange.

-Phoenix
(Yeah, sure!)

-Phoenix
Well, Ms. Hart?

-Phoenix
You were camping there to
try and take a photo of
Gourdy, weren't you?

-Lotta
..

-Lotta
Yeah.

-Lotta
Not bad. Are all you
lawyers that smart?

-Lotta
So, smart boy, I was down
there trying to photograph
Gourdy, you got me.

-Lotta
So what?

-Phoenix
Huh...?

-Lotta
That don't change
what I saw, does it?

-Karma
Exactly!

-Karma
What you just used several
precious minutes of our time
to prove...

-Karma
is nothing more than that the
witness is an idiot who thinks
monsters exist!

-Lotta
H-hey!

-Karma
But, as she so succinctly
said, so what!?

-Karma
It changes nothing!

-Phoenix
(Not true!)

-Phoenix
(You were hiding the whole
thing about Gourdy for
some reason, I know it!)

-Phoenix
(But what could it have
been...?)

-Phoenix
(Whatever it is, I'm getting
to the bottom of this!)

-Lotta
Ms. Hart.

-Judge
Why did you hide the fact
that you were searching for
Gourdy from the court?

-Judge
Please revise your testimony.

-Lotta
..

-Lotta
Right. Fine, I'll testify.
It won't change nothing,
though.

-Phoenix
(Something will change...
it has to!)

-Phoenix
(And I'm going to spot it!)

-Karma

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Lotta's New Testimony --

(1)
-Lotta
Actually, I'm not a research
student at a university.

(2)
-Lotta
I'm an investigative
photographer.

(3)
-Lotta
Imagine what a scoop it'd be
if I got a picture of that
monster!

(4)
-Lotta
That's why I was camping out
by the lake.

(5)
-Lotta
But, that's all I was
hiding.

(6)
-Lotta
When I heard the "bang"
I looked right straight
out at that lake.

(7)
-Lotta
There wasn't much else to
look at, so I just watched
that boat the whole time.

(8)
-Lotta
Then I saw a flash, near one
of the men's hands, and I
heard another gunshot.

-Lotta
I was looking right at that
boat, the whole time, cross
my heart and hope to fry.

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

-Judge
Hmm...
Well, Mr. Wright. You may
cross-examine the witness.

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
The witness's testimony
is unchanged from before!

-Kamra
Whether she is a research
student or a photographer
has no bearing on this case!

-Karma
There is no need to waste more
of our time with another
pointless cross-examination!

-Judge
Er... hmm.

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
I claim the defense's right
to cross-examine the witness,
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
(von Karma's up to something,
I know it!)

-Phoenix
(He doesn't want me to cross-
examine her because... why?
Was there a contradiction?)

-Judge
Very well.
You may begin the
cross-examination.

-Judge
You seem sure of yourself,
you must have something in
mind.

-Karma
Hah! That would be a first!

-Phoenix
(Hah hah, very funny.)

-Judge
You understand that this
is your last chance at a
cross-examination, Mr. Wright?

-Judge
If there is no problem with
the testimony this time, we
will let the witness leave.

-Judge
I will announce my verdict
at that time, Mr. Wright.

-Judge
Understood?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Lotta's New Testimony --

(1)
-Lotta
Actually, I'm not a research
student at a university.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Then what manner of person
  are you!?

  -Lotta
  I'm not sure I'm high-
  falutin' enough to be
  called a "manner" of anything.

(2)
-Lotta
I'm an investigative
photographer.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  An "investigative
  photographer"?

  -Lotta
  Yep.

  -Lotta
  You get your photo, and sell
  it to the press. It's that
  kind of business.

  -Lotta
  Hey, I was taking pictures
  at my sister's graduation
  last year...

  -Lotta
  N' guess what!

  -Phoenix
  Umm... what?

  -Lotta
  There was a yoofoh just
  a' hanging in the sky!

  -Phoenix
  A "yoofoh"...?

  -Lotta
  You know, an "Unidentified
  Flying Object"? A yoofoh!

  -Lotta
  That's when I had sort
  of a revelation.

  -Lotta
  I knew I should become
  an investigative photographer!

  -Phoenix
  I... I see.

  -Phoenix
  (Kind of a shaky basis
  for a career...)

(3)
-Lotta
Imagine what a scoop it'd be
if I got a picture of that
monster!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Is "Gourdy" really all
  that newsworthy?

  -Lotta
  Heck yeah! They even
  had him up on the TV!

  -Phoenix
  (I'm not sure that appearing
  on the local news "rumor of
  the month" show qualifies.)

  -Phoenix
  (Last month's show was
  "Bigfoot Sighted on Acorn
  Hill," I believe.)

  -Lotta
  Hey! They also had a picture
  of him in the newspaper!
  For real!

  -Judge
  Mr. Wright.

  -Judge
  This is one fight I do
  not believe you can win.

  -Judge
  Let's keep moving, shall we?

  -Phoenix
  Yes, Your Honor.

(4)
-Lotta
That's why I was camping out
by the lake.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  That's why you put the
  automatic sensor on
  your camera?

  -Lotta
  Yep. Borrowed it from a
  friend at a university.

  -Lotta
  It analyzes every sound it
  picks up, and when it gets
  a "bang!"...

  -Phoenix
  It snaps a shot.

  -Lotta
  Yep.

  -Phoenix
  So, how many pictures
  has it taken so far?

  -Lotta
  The only time the camera
  triggered was that night.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm...)

(5)
-Lotta
But, that's all I was
hiding.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  I think it's time you told us
  why you felt you had to hide
  your true purpose at the lake.

  -Lotta
  Heck, if word got out what
  I was up to, the lake'd be
  swarmin' with competitors!

  -Phoenix
  Competitors...?

  -Lotta
  Yeah! Second-rate shutterbugs
  trying to steal my scoop!

  -Phoenix
  Ah...

  -Phoenix
  Is that the only reason you
  were hiding the truth?

  -Lotta
  W-well, actually...

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Mr. Wright! I'll not have you
  asking questions with no
  relevance to this case!!!

  -Phoenix
  (Whatever you say, von Karma.
  I know you told her to keep
  quiet.)

(6)
-Lotta
When I heard the "bang"
I looked right straight
out at that lake.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Exactly what sort of
  sound was it?

  -Lotta
  Well, I never heard one before
  so I can't say for sure... but
  it sounded like a gunshot.

  -Lotta
  It was a lot sharper a sound
  than I would have expected.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm...)

(7)
-Lotta
There wasn't much else to
look at, so I just watched
that boat the whole time.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  There wasn't "much else
  to look at"?

  -Lotta
  Yep.

  -Phoenix
  (I dunno. If she heard a
  bang... and she thought
  Gourdy was out there...)

  -Phoenix
  (I kind of doubt she'd waste
  any time looking at a boat.)

  -Lotta
  What? What did I do now?
  What're you giving me that
  look for?

  -Phoenix
  (Definitely suspicious...
  Maybe it's time for some
  evidence...)

  -Karma
  Witness! Continue.

  -Lotta
  Hold your hushpuppies,
  pops, I'm getting there.

(8)
-Lotta
Then I saw a flash, near one
of the men's hands, and I
heard another gunshot.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Was there nothing on the lake
  but the boat at that time?

  -Lotta
  Huh? Wait, so you're thinking
  maybe he was shot from some
  other place?

  -Lotta
  I don't think so, nope.

  -Lotta
  The lake was smooth as glass,
  and nobody was on the shore,
  neither.

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm...)

-Phoenix
(I'd better find some sort
of contradiction in this
testimony...)

-Phoenix
(I won't be able to beat
von Karma any other way...)

-Phoenix
(There has to be something!)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Ms. Hart!

-Phoenix
Were you REALLY looking
at that boat!?

-Lotta
W-what's with you!?
Course I was looking at it!

-Lotta
It was the only thing out
there! Any normal person'd
be looking at it!

-Phoenix
I agree, any normal person
would.

-Phoenix
But you are far from normal!

-Lotta
Wh-what!? Y'all wanna step
over here and say that!?

-Phoenix
You were camping at the lake
to take a picture of Gourdy!

-Phoenix
Think about it--

-Phoenix
What would you do if you
heard a loud noise?

-Phoenix
You'd be scanning the lake
for any sign of Gourdy,
that's what!

-Phoenix
You wouldn't give the
boat a second thought!

-Lotta
Aah!

-Judge
Order! Continue, Mr. Wright!

-Phoenix
You testified that you were
watching the boat through
binoculars!

-Phoenix
However, you wouldn't need
binoculars to watch that boat!

-Phoenix
You needed them to search for
Gourdy... and that's what you
were doing!

-Lotta
..!

-Lotta
..

-Lotta
..

-Phoenix
Well!?

-Lotta
Hmph...

-Lotta
Well, now that y'all mention
it...

-Lotta
I did sort of take my
binoculars and kind of
scan the lake a bit...

-Lotta
I mean, Gourdy might be
out there, n' all...

-Judge
M-Ms. Hart!

-Judge
A-are you saying that
you were NOT watching
the boat, then?

-Lotta
..

-Lotta
S-sorry, y'all.

-Lotta
I wasn't fibbing, really.


-Lotta
I was, just... I thought
y'know, I could be witness
to a murder n' all!

-Lotta
I kinda got excited.

-Lotta
I was sure I was watching
that boat... till now.

-Judge
..

-Judge
This... this is totally
uncalled for--

-Lotta
B-but hey!

-Lotta
You got the photograph!
You got proof!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Still, we can't see who
is shooting who in this.

-Lotta
Right! Right!

-Lotta
That's why I took
this photo n'...

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Witness... That's enough.

-Karma
You've had a long day.
Shut your pie-hole.

-Lotta
Sh-shut my what!?

-Phoenix
(What was she going to say?)

-Phoenix
(She took the photo... and
what?)

-Phoenix
(Wait a second...)

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

-Gumshoe
She even had a photograph
to prove it.

-Phoenix
But you really can't tell
from the photo who is
shooting.

-Gumshoe
That's why she said she's
going to enlarge the photo.

-Gumshoe
She said "it'll drop the
quality a mite, but should
let us see who's who!"

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

-Phoenix
(She enlarged that photo!)

-Phoenix
(Why won't von Karma
let her show it?)

-Phoenix
(I've got a hunch!)

-Phoenix
(I bet that enlarged photo
shows something bad for
von Karma!)

-Phoenix
(This is my chance!)

-Phoenix
(If I'm wrong, though, it'll
mean prison for Edgeworth...
or worse.)

-Phoenix
(What should I do!?)

Ms. Hart!
Look at this photograph.

You enlarged this photograph,

Y-yeah! I did!

Why has that enlargement not
been presented to the court!?

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
B-because it does not

-Lotta
What're y'all talking about!?

-Lotta
You were the one who told
me not to show it in court

You old fool!

What's the meaning of this,
Mr. von Karma!

-Karma
Er... erm...

Ms. Hart!

Show the photo to the court!
Show us the enlargement!

Objection... denied.

-Judge
The witness will show the
enlargement to the court.

-Lotta
Here it is.

-Judge
Hmm. We still cannot see
who is firing in this.

-Judge
It could be the defendant...
or maybe it's not.

Regardless, I'll accept this
as evidence.

-Karma
Happy now, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Hmm...
(There has to be something!)

-Karma
You asked for the enlargement,
you got the enlargement.

-Karma
And little good it has done
any of us!

-Karma
That's why I requested she
not show it!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
I suppose this means that
the cross-examination...

-Karma
Is over! Obviously!

-Judge
Then, I would like to close
the cross-examination of
Ms. Lotta Hart.

-Karma
And none too soon. That was
a flagrant waste of my time.

-Judge
Mr. von Karma, do you
have anything to add?

-Karma
I stated everything I needed

-Karma
Decisive evidence.

-Karma
A decisive witness.

-Karma
What else could possibly
be required?

-Judge
Nothing, of course.

-Judge
Then, I believe it is time
for me to declare my verdict.

(Wait... it's not supposed

I would like to reconvene
this court of law!

-Judge
Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
You have given us definitive
proof today.

-Judge
We now know that it was not</pre><pre id="faqspan-18">
Mr. Edgeworth who fired the
pistol that night.

-Judge
However...

-Judge
This leaves us with a rather
large problem.

-Judge
If Mr. Edgeworth didn't do
it, then who shot our victim?

-Karma
Precisely!

-Karma
As we have seen, there were
no other people on the lake
that night!

-Karma
Who but the defendant
could have shot the victim!?

***Ms. Hart*********************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Who else but the witness,
* Ms. Lotta Hart!
*
* -Judge
* Wh-what!?
*
* -Judge
* Do you have proof of this!?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Proof-shmoof! Always with
* the proof! Oh... wait, I do
* need proof, don't I.)
*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright! I'll have you
* remember this is a court
* of law!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Uh oh. The Judge is mad.)
*
* -Karma
* Let me ask again!
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

***The victim himself***********************
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Larry************************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait, wait--I can't do that.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Sacrifice one friend to
* save another? What's the
* point!?)
*
* -Karma
* Well, Wright!
* Your answer!
*
* RETURN TO QUESTION
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
There is only one explanation
remaining!

-Phoenix
The man who shot the victim
was none other than... the
victim himself!!!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
So... you are saying that the
victim committed suicide?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor. I can think
of no other explanation.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Indeed, that does seem to be
the only remaining option.

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
I'm so very, very sorry,
Mr. Wright.

-Karma
But suicide is out
of the question.

-Phoenix
Wh-what!?

-Karma
An examination of the victim's
wound reveals the distance
at which he was shot.

-Phoenix
The... distance?

-Karma
The victim was clearly shot
from further than a meter
away!

-Phoenix
A meter! Th-that's three feet!

-Karma
There is no way it could
have been suicide!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Mr. von Karma! Are you sure
of the accuracy of your data!?

-Karma
Of course! I had already
considered the possibility
of suicide, you see.

Autopsy Report updated
in the Court Record.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
I see.

-Judge
Very well, allow me to
state my opinion.

-Judge
Considering the situation,
the shooter had to be the
defendant, Mr. Edgeworth.

-Judge
However!

-Judge
The prints on the gun reveal
that the shooter was not
Mr. Edgeworth.

-Judge
This is a conundrum.

-Judge
Therefore, I would like to
suspend proceedings for this
trial for the day.

-Judge
The court orders the defense
and the prosecution to further
investigate this matter.

-Judge
Understood?

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

-Karma
..

-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned.

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

December 26, 1:15 PM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
Whew, that was a close one.

-Edgeworth
..

-Phoenix
Hey!

-Phoenix
Don't you have anything
to say!?

-Edgeworth
No. I have yet to be declared
innocent, Wright.

-Phoenix
Well, yeah, but...

-Phoenix
What happened out there
on that lake, anyway!?

-Phoenix
If he didn't commit
suicide, then who...?

-Phoenix
The shooter was about
a meter away, too!

-Edgeworth
..
W-what?
Don't give me that look!

-Edgeworth
I did not kill him!

-Phoenix
I was just kidding around.

-Edgeworth
Hmph.

-Phoenix
Look...

-Phoenix
I'm going to go
check on Maya.

-Edgeworth
Oh...

-Edgeworth
Wright.

-Phoenix
What?

-Edgeworth
Tell her something for me.

-Phoenix
What?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Tell...

-Edgeworth
Tell her to watch what
she says in court.

-Edgeworth
That's all.

-Phoenix
(Yeah, I'm sure she'll be
happy to hear you say that,
Edgeworth. Jerk!)

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

-Phoenix
I requisitioned a transcript
of Lotta's entire testimony.

-Phoenix
I thought it might give me
some ammunition for the trial
tomorrow.

-Phoenix
Of course she didn't see
the shooter...

-Phoenix
So the only part of her
testimony that stood was
the "bang" she heard.

Lotta's Deposition added
to the Court Record.

Detention Center
Visitor's Room

-Phoenix
Maya!

-Maya
Hey! Nick, it's you!

-Maya
I'm glad Mr. Edgeworth made
it through the day okay.

-Maya
It's a relief...

-Phoenix
Hey.

-Phoenix
Why'd you do that, anyway?

-Maya
..

-Maya
I don't know.

-Maya
I... just knew I had
to do something.

-Maya
I know I'm not the lawyer
my sister was...

-Maya
..

-Maya
I'm sorry.

-Phoenix
Well, you did
save the trial...

-Phoenix
Just, behave from now on,
okay?

-Maya
O... okay.

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

***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -Maya
* It must be nice, Nick.
*
* -Maya
* You can just show that to
* anyone and say "I'm a lawyer!"
*
* -Maya
* But, spirit mediums, well...
*
* -Phoenix
* I dunno, with your clothes,
* I bet at least some people
* would recognize you...
*
* -Maya
* But these are medium-in
* -training clothes...
*
* -Maya
* I wonder if I'll ever
* be a proper medium...
*
********************************************

***Present Lake Photo***********************
*
* -Maya
* Isn't that the enlarged
* photo Lotta was talking
* about?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh huh.
*
* -Maya
* Huh...
*
* -Maya
* It's nice and big... but you
* can't really see the faces
* any clearer, can you?
*
********************************************

***Present Misty Fey's Photo****************
*
* -Maya
* My... mother.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Now that I've shown her the
* picture, I'm not sure it
* was the right thing to do.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (No... I'm pretty sure it was
* the wrong thing to do.
*
********************************************

***Present Gourdy Article*******************
*
* -Maya
* I want to see Gourdy, too!
*
* -Phoenix
* If he really exists.
*
* -Maya
* Well, I'd say a photograph
* is pretty good proof!
*
* -Maya
* Once this trial is over, let's
* get some fishing poles and
* go down to the lake!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Even if there is a monster
* in that lake, fishing poles
* sound like a BAD idea...)
*
********************************************

***Present Pistol Bullet********************
*
* -Maya
* So the markings on this bullet
* and the barrel of the pistol
* matched?
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, I'm surprised you
* remembered that!
*
* -Maya
* How could I forget after
* von Karma rubbed it in
* so much?
*
* -Maya
* So, which one of these are
* the ballistic markings?
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm... not really sure.
*
********************************************

***Present Pistol***************************
*
* -Maya
* Mr. Edgeworth's prints are
* on this pistol, aren't they?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes... the prints from his
* right hand.
*
* -Phoenix
* But they must have gotten on
* there at some time other than
* the shooting.
*
* -Maya
* What? Really!?
*
* -Phoenix
* (The shooter used his left
* hand, after all...)
*
********************************************

***Present other****************************
*
* -Maya
* Sorry...
* I'm fresh out of ideas.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Questioning"*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Have you been questioned yet?
*
* -Maya
* No... not yet.
*
* -Maya
* Detective Gumshoe was
* here just now.
*
* -Maya
* He said "seeing as this is
* your first offense, we'll let
* you go after questioning."
*
* -Phoenix
* Whew...
*
* -Maya
* Oh, and he wanted me to
* get bail money ready.
*
* -Maya
* You can pay for me, okay?
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? How much?
*
* -Maya
* I don't know. I guess they'll
* send you a bill or something.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Why do I picture giant bales
* of money every time I hear
* the word "bail"?)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Mia"*************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Any luck with Mia...?
*
* -Maya
* None...
* I can't get through
* to her at all.
*
* -Maya
* I tried... I really did!
*
* -Maya
* I don't know what to do...
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I think I probably shouldn't
* have stopped my training.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm... she sounds like she
* really did do her best.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I should check and see if
* there are any waterfalls in
* the local area...)
*
* -Maya
* I wonder if I'll ever
* see my sister again...

* Mia's desk.

Police Department
Criminal Affairs

-Phoenix
(Detective Gumshoe's
not here...)

-Police
Gumshoe's at the scene
again today.

-Phoenix
Huh? Oh, really?

-Police
He's a live wire that one.

-Police
Got into a fight with the
chief for not following
protocol...

-Phoenix
(Not following protocol...?)

-Phoenix
(I bet he wouldn't help them
build the case against
Edgeworth...)

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

***Examine chief****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* This must be the chief

*
* -Phoenix

-Phoenix
I wonder if Detective
Gumshoe is here today?

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

***Examine sign*****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* The sign says "Gourd Lake
* Nature Park."
*
* -Phoenix
* This place is full of families
* picnicking on the weekend.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's a little cold for
* picnicking these days,
* though.
*
********************************************

***Examine trees****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I feel winter's chill from the
* bare leaf trees today...
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a lot of trees here.
* I guess that's why they call
* it a "nature park."
*
* -Phoenix
* It's quite pretty when the
* cherry trees along the
* lakeside blossom in spring.
*
* -Phoenix
* Today... it's just cold.

* The famous Gourd Lake...

* It's a pretty big lake,
* really.
*
********************************************

***Examine benches**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* A lineup of plastic benches.
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess the idea is you
* buy a dog and eat it here.
*
* -Phoenix
* I doubt anyone would sit here
* and eat on a day like this.
*
* -Phoenix
* Except maybe Maya, if
* she had a Samurai Dog.
*
********************************************

MOVE TO: Boat Rental Shop

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

December 26
Boat Rental Shop

-Phoenix
(Looks like the boat rental
shop is closed today, too.)

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

***Examine boat rental shop*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* A small boat rental shop.
*
* -Phoenix
* Doesn't look like anyone
* is around.
*
* -Phoenix
* They're probably closed
* because of the murder.
*
********************************************

***Examine boats****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* There are some boats floating
* at the dock.
*
* -Phoenix
* The murder took place in
* a boat from this dock...
*
* -Phoenix
* Apparently, the police took
* away the actual boat that
* was used that night.

Hey, pal!

-Gumshoe
The trial today, it, er...

-Gumshoe
..

-Phoenix
Yes? What about the trial?

-Gumshoe
Well, I was going to say
"good show," but it wasn't
really all that...

-Gumshoe
Though you did save Edgeworth,
I guess...

-Gumshoe
I just wasn't sure how
to thank you... you know?

-Phoenix
Er... thanks.

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

***Examine SUV******************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't think Lotta takes
* very good care of her SUV.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's covered with dents.
*
* -Phoenix
* I can't believe anyone would
* drive their car down here.
*
********************************************

***Examine sign*****************************

* -Phoenix
* The sign says "No Camping."
*
* -Phoenix
* Funny place to pick to

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

***Examine firepit**************************
*
* -Phoenix
* I wonder why she brought
* a camping cooker with her?
*
* -Phoenix
* There's a convenience store
* right up the street...
*
* -Phoenix
* I guess she wanted to get
* into the outdoor spirit.
*
********************************************

***Examine camera***************************
*
* -Phoenix
* Lotta's camera is staring
* out at the lake, as usual.
*
* -Phoenix
* Even a novice like me can tell
* that camera must cost a pretty
* penny.
*
* -Phoenix
* I hope she doesn't leave it
* out here to get stolen.
*
********************************************

***Present Attorney's Badge*****************
*
* -Gumshoe
* I think it's a little early
* for you to be proudly waving
* that thing around.
*
* -Gumshoe
* You can be proud of yourself
* when you get Mr. Edgeworth
* declared innocent, pal!
*
********************************************

***Present Lotta's Camera*******************
*
* -Gumshoe
* That woman really took us
* for a ride, didn't she?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Claiming she was a witness
* to a murder and all...
*
* -Phoenix
* Still, if it weren't for
* her photograph, Mr. Edgeworth
* wouldn't have made it today.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Oh, huh, really?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Umm... you were at the trial,
* weren't you, Detective?)
*
********************************************

***Present Robert's Autopsy Report**********
*
* -Gumshoe
* Robert Hammond...
*
* -Gumshoe
* He was the defense attorney
* in the DL-6 Incident trial.
*
* -Gumshoe
* He's the one who got the
* sole suspect off the hook.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I wonder what Mr. Edgeworth
* thinks of him. Not much,
* I'd wager.
*
********************************************

***Present Lake Photo***********************
*
* -Gumshoe
* I don't care who you are,
* no one can tell me that
* that's Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* -Gumshoe
* I mean, come on, it doesn't
* look like him at all!
*
* -Phoenix
* But Edgeworth has admitted
* he was on the boat.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Then he's the one being
* shot, then!
*
* -Phoenix
* He seemed fine in court
* today...
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Details, pal, details!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Whose side are you on, anyway?
*
* -Phoenix
* (All I'm saying is we have to
* respect the evidence...)

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

***Present Pistol Bullet********************
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yep, it was fired from the
* murder weapon, without a
* doubt.
*
* -Phoenix
* From a meter away... so it
* would have to have been
* from someone else on the boat.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm...
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you make of this,
* Detective Gumshoe?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hey, making something of
* things is your job!
*
* -Phoenix
* Er... right.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Since when do lawyers have
* to do detectives' work for
* them!?)
*
********************************************

***Present Pistol***************************
*
* -Gumshoe
* Maybe you should tell me
* why Mr. Edgeworth's prints
* were on the weapon, pal.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? How should I know!?
*
********************************************

***Present Lotta's Deposition***************
*
* -Gumshoe
* Now, she heard two gunshots,
* right?
*
* -Phoenix
* But wait...
* Look at the Court Record!
*
* -Phoenix
* According to this, the
* murder weapon was fired
* three times!
*
* -Gumshoe
* What!? How's that possible!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Where was the third shot
* fired?
*
* -Gumshoe
* I wonder...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Maybe it was a practice
* shot or something?
*
********************************************

***Present other****************************
*
* -Gumshoe
* Sorry to disappoint you, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'm drawing a blank.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Tomorrow's trial"************
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective Gumshoe?
*
* -Phoenix
* Any idea what strategy
* von Karma is planning
* for tomorrow?
*
* -Gumshoe
* It sounds like he's bringing
* in another witness!
*
* -Phoenix
* Another witness!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, right, he said something
* about that in the trial
* today...
*
* ------------------------------------------
*
* -Karma
* There were two witnesses!
*
* ------------------------------------------
*
* -Phoenix
* I was wondering who that

*
* -Phoenix
* Er... who was it?
*
* -Gumshoe
* S... sorry, pal.
*
* -Gumshoe
* As much as I'd like to,
* I'm not at liberty to
* divulge that information.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Right...)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Prosecutor Edgeworth"********
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh, right... I wanted to
* ask you something about
* Edgeworth.
*
* -Gumshoe
* What's up?
*
* -Phoenix
* Is he afraid of earthquakes?
* I never heard anything about
* that before.
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Mr. Edgeworth doesn't talk
* about himself too much, see.
*
* -Gumshoe
* But there's one thing that's
* clear as day...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Him hating crime the way
* he does...
*
* -Gumshoe
* And him becoming a lawyer...
*
* -Gumshoe
* And him being scared of
* earthquakes...
*
* -Gumshoe
* It all started with that
* incident.
*
* -Phoenix
* The DL-6 Incident?
*
* -Gumshoe
* Yep, that's the one.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Fifteen years ago... when
* he saw his father shot
* before his very eyes!
*
* -Gumshoe
* He still feels the pain now,
* you can see it in his eyes.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Maya Fey"********************
*
* -Phoenix
* I wanted to talk to you
* about Maya Fey...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? She's not out on bail
* yet?
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's strange.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I told 'em to let her go
* as soon as they had their
* report written up.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Man...
*
* -Gumshoe
* I don't know what would have
* happened in that courtroom
* today if it weren't for her.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Seeing her getting dragged
* out by the bailiff...
*
* -Gumshoe
* I'll be honest with you, pal.
* I shed a tear or two.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Edgeworth, he was so moved
* I saw his lip trembling.
*
* -Phoenix
* Really!?
* (Cold-as-ice Edgeworth!?)
*
* -Gumshoe
* He was really grateful for
* what she did, you know.
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Gumshoe
I'm going to head back
to the station.

-Gumshoe
I'll get the report on Maya
and get her out of there
as soon as I can.

-Phoenix
Thank you.

-Phoenix
Oh, wait!

-Phoenix
Umm... I was wondering, how
much is bail going to be?

-Gumshoe
Don't worry about that.

-Gumshoe
Mr. Edgeworth is posting
the whole amount.

-Phoenix
What? Edgeworth...?

-Gumshoe
Didn't I tell you?

-Gumshoe
He's grateful to her
for what she did.

-Gumshoe
Alright, pal. Well don't
forget to go pick her
up, okay?

-Phoenix
(Hmm...)

-Phoenix
(Maybe I can get Edgeworth
to pay this month's rent,
too...)

Hey, Nick!
You finally came!

-Maya
They just finished the

-Phoenix
Free at last, eh?

-Maya
Those interrogators were
really mean!

-Maya
They were like "okay, what

Like I was some kind of

-Phoenix
Well, they let you out in
the end, didn't they?

-Maya
Mmm...

-Maya
Oh, that reminds me...
Thanks for bail.

-Phoenix
Thank Edgeworth.

-Maya
Huh?

-Phoenix
He posted bail for you.

-Phoenix
Said he was grateful
for what you did.

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth did that...?

-Maya

I have to make it up to him!

-Maya
We've got to win this case,

* -Maya
* We're kind of lacking
* in the clues department.
*
* -Maya
* We could go to the park
* and look for Gourdy.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I-I was kidding!
*
* -Phoenix
* Still, if there are any clues
* out there, the park's as good
* a bet as any.
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you say?
* Shall we head down there?
*
* -Maya
* Sure!

***Talk about "Any ideas"*******************

*
* -Maya
* Hmm...
*

* You know, I did notice

* in detention.
*
* -Maya
* It's really pretty comfortable

* keep it very clean.
*
* -Phoenix
* I meant have you noticed
* anything about the case...?
*
* -Maya
* Well...
* Not much more than that, no.
*
* -Phoenix
* (She's probably still upset
* about Mia. I should leave
* her alone.)

-Maya
Ahh! Fresh air! I gotta say,
freedom feels great.

-Phoenix
Behave yourself in the
courtroom tomorrow, okay?

-Maya
Heh heh heh.
Misbehaving's much more fun.

-Phoenix
It's not going to be so much
fun when Edgeworth refuses to
pay your bail again.

-Maya
..

-Maya
Right. I'll behave.

-Phoenix
(Oh dear...)

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

***Present anything*************************
*
* -Maya
* Don't waste time showing

*
* -Phoenix
* Well, what should we do?

December 26
Gourd Lake Park
Entrance

-Maya
There aren't many cops
around today, are there?

-Phoenix
They're probably back at the
precinct, working up the
case against Edgeworth.

-Maya
Mmm...

-Lotta
Hey y'all!

-Maya
Hey, it's Lotta!

-Lotta
Y'all really did it
today...

-Phoenix
Wh-what did we do now?

-Lotta
Naw, I'm not complaining!

-Lotta
See, I did a little thinking.
A little... self-reflection,
you might say.

-Lotta
I realized that bein' a
witness is a mighty big
responsibility.

-Lotta
But I just went up there
and started blabbing any
old thing that came to mind.

-Phoenix
Lotta...

-Lotta
So, you see, I want to
make it up to y'all.

-Phoenix
"Make it up"...?

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

***Present Lotta's Camera*******************
*
* -Lotta
* I'm thinking I should up

*
* -Phoenix
* Right...
*
********************************************

***Present Lake Photo***********************
*
* -Lotta
* I'm glad I did that
* enlargement.
*
* -Phoenix
* No kidding.
*
* -Phoenix
* If we didn't have that,
* Edgeworth would be in
* prison now, or worse!
*
* -Maya
* There's never a lack of drama

*
* -Lotta
* What, are you always on the

***Present Gourdy Article*******************
*
* -Maya
* Umm... uh...
* You know, I was wondering...
*
* -Lotta
* Yeah?
*
* -Maya
* What if you get a picture
* of Gourdy...
*
* -Maya
* and it turns out like
* this enlargement did?
*
* -Lotta
* Y'all crazy!?
*
* -Lotta
* A blurry picture like this
* doesn't make a hit story!
*
* -Lotta
* I need a picture that screams
* "I am Gourdy! Hear me roar!"
*
* -Lotta
* I can't turn something like
* this into the paper! What kind
* of a fool do y'all think I am?
*
* -Phoenix
* (The kind of fool that would
* turn a blurry picture in as

*
* -Phoenix
* (Not to mention claiming

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

***Present other****************************

* Yep, I'd have to say I know

* Lotta's interest...)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Today's trial"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* What did you think of
* the trial?
*
* -Lotta
* To be honest, I was doin'
* it half just to say I'd
* been a witness...
*
* -Lotta
* Even though I didn't
* really see anything.
*
* -Lotta
* I kinda convinced myself
* I had though...
*
* -Lotta
* I'm sorry, I know I caused
* y'all a lot of trouble.
*
* -Maya
* Well, memory is a tricky,
* vague little thing.
*
* -Lotta
* Yeah, I sure know that now.
*
* -Lotta
* I'll be fine the next time
* I witness a murder!
*
* -Maya
* Right!
*

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

***Talk about "Gourdy"**********************
*
* -Phoenix
* What about Gourdy?
*
* -Lotta
* Right!
*
* -Lotta
* Well, the way I figure, the
* trial's only stoking the
* flames of Gourdy fever!
*
* -Lotta
* I'll get my exclusive photos
* and rocket to stardom!
*
* -Maya
* All right, Lotta!
* You go, girl!

*
* -Lotta
* Well, ya see...
*
* -Lotta
* Actually, I got a bit
* of information for you.
*
* -Maya
* What!?
*
* -Lotta
* That von Karma didn't want
* me to say nothin' about it.
*
* -Maya
* Wh-what information!?
*
* -Lotta
* Now we're getting to
* the heart of it!
*
* -Lotta
* See, I reckoned we might
* be able to do ourselved
* a little "exchange."
*
* -Phoenix
* E-"exchange"?
*
* -Phoenix
* Umm...
*
* -Phoenix
* I thought this was to

* Information don't come cheap,

* Hey!

* -Lotta
* I see you thinking "my, how

*
* -Lotta
* It's written all over

* Let me tell you, most

* Well, what'll it be?

Glad to hear it,

-Uncle
You make your old man
proud.

When you kids left the house,

A parrot... the one

N-Nick? What's the

Um, based on the available

That's a relief, isn't
it, Polly?

"Terry"...?

-Uncle
Ayup, the kid next door.
You always used to make
him cry, remember?

-Uncle
He was wearin' this tattered
old coat. Got himself some
whiskers growing out his face.

-Phoenix
(He must be talking about
Detective Gumshoe...)

-Uncle
He comes up and tells me
to come down to court
tomorrow.

-Maya
Really...?

-Phoenix
(Somehow I don't thik we're
going to get much useful
information from this guy.)

-Phoenix
Maya... maybe we should
be leaving.

-Maya
I think you're right.

-Maya
Oh, wait--I had one
more question.

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Maya
Polly! Polly!
Have we forgotten something?

-Parrot
*squawk*

-Parrot
"Don't forget DL-6!"
*squawk*

-Maya
H-huh!?

-Maya
What did she just
say, Nick?

-Phoenix
One more time, Polly!

-Parrot
"Don't forget DL-6!"
*squawk*

-Phoenix
(What!? The DL-6 Incident?)

-Phoenix
Hey, mister! I-I mean,
Dad!

-Uncle
*Zzzzz*

-Phoenix
(This is getting weird...)

-Phoenix
(Who IS this old guy!?)

FORCED MOVE TO: Boat Rental Shop

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

-Maya
Why would that bird Polly
know about DL-6...?

-Phoenix
We have to figure out
who that old man is.

-Maya
Oh...

-Phoenix
What?

-Maya
He locked the door,
from the other side.

-Phoenix
(...)

-Phoenix
(Who could that old
man be...?)

-Phoenix
(I think I need to do a little
more research on this DL-6
Incident...)

-Phoenix
(Maybe I should ask
Detective Gumshoe.)

Hey, pal! Long time no see!

-Gumshoe

-Gumshoe
You don't look so happy.

-Gumshoe
What's wrong this time?

-Phoenix
Actually, we wanted
to ask you something...

-Gumshoe
Yeah?

***Examine detective************************

* Thanks, Detective Gumshoe.
* This was really helpful.
*
* -Gumshoe

* You seem surprised!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh? N-no, not at all.
* Glad it worked out for you.

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

***Present Parrot***************************
*
* -Gumshoe
* What's that? A parrot?
*
* -Phoenix
* The old man at the boat
* rental shop's parrot.
*
* -Phoenix
* The parrot knew about

*
* -Gumshoe
* That incident?

* DL-6.

*
* -Gumshoe
* Yeah, but how would that

* DL-6 Incident?
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait! What if...
*
* -Phoenix
* What if the old man was

***Talk about "The boat caretaker"**********

* Oh, yeah...
*

* The old man who runs it

*
* -Gumshoe
* Huh...!? How'd you--
* Hmm. That was supposed

*
* -Maya
* Do you know who that

*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Actually... I don't.
*
* -Gumshoe
* He's a bit of an odd bird...
* I haven't been able to get
* a straight answer out of him.
*
* -Gumshoe
* I decided first that he wasn't
* persuasive enough to stand
* and testify as a witness.
*
* -Gumshoe
* That's why we called
* Ms. Lotta Hart yesterday.
*
* -Gumshoe
* As for who he is...
*
* -Gumshoe
* We have absolutely no idea.
*
* -Maya
* Hmm... sounds suspicious!
*
* -Gumshoe
* Hmm...
*

***Talk about "The DL-6 Incident"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* Detective Gumshoe,
* please, help us...
*
* -Gumshoe
* H-huh?
*
* -Phoenix
* We need to know about
* the DL-6 Incident!
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...!
*
* -Phoenix
* That was when Edgeworth's
* father died.
*
* -Phoenix
* I can't help but think that
* it has something to do with
* this current case.
*
* -Gumshoe
* ...
*
* -Gumshoe
* To tell the truth, I don't
* know much about DL-6 either.
*
* -Gumshoe
* Mr. Edgeworth forbade us
* from reading the file.
*
* -Gumshoe
* So... I'm afraid I can't
* show them to you, either, pal.
*
* -Maya
* What!?
*
* -Gumshoe
* However...
*
* -Gumshoe
* If you can convince me somehow
* that the DL-6 Incident is
* related to this case...
*
* -Gumshoe
* Well, I guess I'd consider
* opening the file up.
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING AND PRESENTING PARROT

-Gumshoe
..

-Gumshoe
I get ya.

-Gumshoe
Sounds like you need
information on the
DL-6 Incident.

-Gumshoe
Through here is the
Station's Records Room.

-Gumshoe
I'll give you special
permission to go in
and find what you need.

-Maya
All right! Way to go,
Detective Gumshoe!

-Maya
Okay, Nick!
To the Records Room!

-Phoenix
(I guess it's time we
faced Edgeworth's past...)

MOVE TO: Records Room

December 26
Police Department
Records Room

-Maya
Wow!!!

-Maya
It's amazing.........ly dusty.

-Phoenix
Ten years of files and
ten years of dust, I guess.

-Maya
Let's find that DL-6 stuff
quick!

-Phoenix
(Fifteen years ago... both
me and Edgeworth were nine
years old.)

-Phoenix
(We were almost through with
fourth grade when he suddenly
transferred.)

-Phoenix
(Because of DL-6...?)

-Maya
Nick!
I found out where the file is!

-Phoenix
O-oh, thanks!

-Maya
Just let me know what
you want to know about
the DL-6 Incident!

-Maya
I'll go get the right file!

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

***Examine shelves on left******************
*
* -Phoenix
* Here are files of colleced
* case reports.
*
* -Phoenix
* There's quite a large
* volume of reports here.
*
* -Maya
* Wow... these are all
* case reports!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. It's like a graveyard
* of police cases.
*
* -Maya
* I guess my sister's case
* report is in here too...
* quietly gathering dust.
*
********************************************

***Examine shelves in back******************
*
* -Phoenix
* There are shelves stuffed
* with case files in the back
* of the room, too.
*
* -Phoenix
* Forgotten cases, rotting
* away for eternity...
*
* -Maya
* Nick, let's get what we
* need and get out of here.
*
* -Maya
* All this dust is getting
* to me!
*
********************************************

***Examine glass case***********************
*
* -Phoenix
* It looks like there are files
* inside that glass case.
*
* -Phoenix
* The case is so dusty I can't
* see what's inside.
*
* -Maya
* Nick... it's locked.
*
* -Phoenix
* They must keep important
* case files in there.
*
********************************************

***Present anything*************************
*
* -Maya
* Let's just hurry up
* and read these files!
*
* -Maya
* This place is so dusty,
* I want to finish up and
* get out of here...
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The case summary"************
*
* -Phoenix
* Well, first I have to get
* a handle on the main facts...
* like a summary.
*
* -Maya
* Right.
*
* -Maya
* Summary... summary...
* Found it!
*
* -Maya
* Here you go.
*
* -Phoenix
* December 28... 2001.
*
* -Maya
* That's exactly 15 years
* ago from the day after
* tomorrow!
*
* -Phoenix
* (So in two days, the case
* is closed...)
*
* -Phoenix
* The incident took place in
* the elevator of the district
* court.
*
* -Maya
* What!?
*
* -Maya
* Is this the same district
* court where we're holding
* the trial now!?
*
* -Phoenix
* Looks like it.
*
* -Phoenix
* There was a large earthquake
* at 2:00 PM on that day.
*
* -Phoenix
* Part of the court building
* collapsed, and all of the
* lights went out.
*
* -Maya
* Wow... that was some
* earthquake!
*
* -Phoenix
* At the time, three people
* were trapped in the elevator.
*
* -Phoenix
* It took five hours
* for them to be rescued...
*
* -Phoenix
* Five hours!
*
* -Maya
* That would be scary like
* that, in the dark!
*
* -Phoenix
* There was a lack of oxygen
* in the elevator, and the
* survivors were unconscious.
*
* -Maya
* The survivors...?
*
* -Phoenix
* One of the three in the
* elevator had been shot...
* in the heart.
*
* -Maya
* That was Mr. Edgeworth's
* father... wasn't it.
*
* -Phoenix
* (He said that his father
* was shot before his very
* eyes...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (So Miles Edgeworth was one
* of the other passengers in
* that elevator.)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Victim data"*****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Do you have data on the
* victim... Edgeworth's father?
*
* -Maya
* Yeah, hold on...
*
* -Maya
* Victim... victim...
* Here! Found it!
*
* -Phoenix
* Gregory Edgeworth, 35,
* defense attorney. If he were
* still alive, he'd be 50.
*
* -Phoenix
* He had lost that day's case
* in court, and got in the
* elevator with his son, Miles.
*
* -Maya
* "Miles"...!
*
* -Phoenix
* Miles Edgeworth, of course.
*
* -Maya
* So he was on the elevator
* with his father!
*
* -Phoenix
* From the angle of the bullet
* and other evidence, it could
* not have been a suicide...
*
* -Phoenix
* The murder weapon, a pistol,
* was found in the elevator.
*
* -Phoenix
* The pistol had been fired
* two times.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Where have I heard
* that before...?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Huh...! It sounds just
* like this current case!
* What's going on here?)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Suspect data"****************
*
* -Phoenix
* Got any data on the suspect
* in there?
*
* -Maya
* Hmm... that would be the guy
* that my mom got arrested.
*
* -Maya
* Hold on... this is it.
*
* -Phoenix
* The man arrested as a suspect
* in DL-6 was... Yanni Yogi?
*
* -Phoenix
* He was a clerk in the court,
* apparently.
*
* -Maya
* So he must have been the
* third person in the elevator.
*
* -Maya
* Well, then he had to have
* done it!
*
* -Phoenix
* But... he was found innocent.
* Thanks to his defense lawyer,
* Robert Hammond.
*
* -Maya
* Hammond... the victim
* in our case!
*
* -Phoenix
* Right.
*
* -Phoenix
* The suspect, Mr. Yogi, was
* oxygen deprived... so much
* so he had brain damage.
*
* -Phoenix
* He lost all memory of being
* in the elevator.
*
* -Phoenix
* After he was declared
* innocent, he disappeared.
*
* -Maya
* Hmm... where could Yogi
* have gone to, I wonder?
*</pre><pre id="faqspan-20">
* -Phoenix
* (He may be closer than
* we think...)
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Phoenix
I guess I know generally
what happened in DL-6 now.

-Phoenix
I still don't know what
sort of impact the whole
thing had on Edgeworth...

-Maya
Nick.

-Maya
Are we going to take the
whole file? There's too
much! We'll never get it out.

-Phoenix
Y-you're right.

-Phoenix
How about we just take
what we think we'll need...

DL-6 Case File added
to the Court Record.

-Phoenix
Right.

-Phoenix
That's probably all we'll
be able to find here.

-Phoenix
Now, all that's left
is the trial tomorrow...

-Phoenix
I wonder how "Dad" will do
testifying in court...

December 27, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 3

-Judge
Court is now in session for
the trial of Mr. Miles
Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Karma
..

-Karma
..

-Judge
Very well, apparently the
prosecution is also ready.

-Phoenix
(Who is the judge here,
anyway!?)

-Judge
Mr. von Karma, your
opening statement.

-Karma
..

-Karma
..

-Judge
Er... very well, no opening
statements so...

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Not so fast, Judge!

-Karma
I was taking a meaningful
pause before speaking!

-Judge
R-right, of course.

-Karma
A prediction!

-Karma
Today's trial will end
three minutes from now!

-Judge
Order... order!

-Judge
Mr. von Karma!
What is the meaning of
your statement just now!?

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Bah! Must you question
everything!

-Karma
It will be over in
three minutes! We have
no time to waste!

-Karma
I'll call my witness now!

-Judge
R-right...

-Karma
I call my witness... my
decisive witness to the stand!

-Phoenix
(It's that mysterious
boat shop owner.)

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

-Karma
Witness... state your
profession.

-Uncle
Mmph... zzzz...

-Uncle
..

-Uncle
I, er, am the proprietor
of the restaurant the
"Wet Noodle" at Gourd Lake.

-Karma
..

-Uncle
And I, er, also rent boats.

-Karma
The night of the incident,
you were in the boat rental
shop, correct?

-Uncle
Er... ayup, yup I was.

-Karma
Please testify.

-Phoenix
(Wait a second...)

-Phoenix
(We still haven't heard
who this old guy is!)

***Let it slide*****************************

* Doesn't matter!? What are

* -Maya
* What if that old man had
* something to do with the
* DL-6 Incident?
*
* -Maya
* If we don't find out who
* he is, we won't be able to
* build a case here!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Hmm, she has a point.)
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Wait a minute!

-Phoenix
The witness hasn't stated
his name yet!

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Because I did not ask him,
Mr. Wright! Bah!

-Karma
I have predicted this trial
will end in three minutes!

-Karma
Stop asking trivial questions
and cooperate!

-Phoenix
(Yeah, right!)

-Judge
The witness will
state his name.

-Uncle
Zzzz...

-Uncle
..

-Uncle
Mmph! Well, er...

-Uncle
I'm not really sure, ayup.

-Judge
What do you mean?

-Uncle
My, er, memory...

-Karma
Your honor...

-Karma
The witness does not remember
anything beyond the last
several years...

-Karma
Ergo, he cannot recall
his own name.

-Judge
Hmmm... he can't recall,
you say?

-Karma
Yes, but the incident in
question took place three
days ago.

-Karma
He can testify.

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Let's hear his testimony
then, shall we. Witness?

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Night of the Murder --

(1)
-Uncle
It was the night of the 24th,
just after midnight, ayup.

(2)
-Uncle
I was in the restaurant...
where I er... rent boats,
as usual.

(3)
-Uncle
Then I heard a "bang!"
Ayup.

(4)
-Uncle
When I looked out the
window, I saw a boat just
a' floating on the lake.

(5)
-Uncle
Then I heard another "bang."

(6)
-Uncle
Just about then the boat
comes back to shore, and
a man walks by my window.

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

-Judge
Hmm...Very well. I'd like to
begin the cross-examination...

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
There is nothing to question
in my witness's testimony!

-Karma
Ergo, no need for
cross-examination!

-Karma
Besides, there are only
10 seconds left before
our three minutes are up!

-Karma
Judge! Your verdict, now!

-Judge
Er... yes...

-Judge
M-Mr. Wright...?

***Cross-examine****************************

***Don't cross-examine**********************

E-excuse me?
Mr. von Karma?

Three minutes just passed.

-Judge
I see. Well then, let's
just take our time.

-Judge
You may cross-examine
the witness.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Night of the Murder --

(1)
-Uncle
It was the night of the 24th,
just after midnight, ayup.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Just after midnight,"
  you say?

  -Uncle
  Ayup, just around then.

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure?

  -Uncle
  Pretty sure, ayup.

  -Phoenix
  When I talked to you
  yesterday, you were
  rather vague about the time...

  -Phoenix
  I'm surprised you seem so
  sure about it today.

  -Uncle
  ...

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  I asked him, and he
  remembered.

  -Karma
  Isn't that right!?

  -Uncle
  Zzzz...

  -Uncle
  D-don't glare
  at me like that...!

  -Uncle
  I, er... I remembered it
  clearly, I did. Ayup.

  -Karma
  You see?
  Continue!

(2)
-Uncle
I was in the restaurant...
where I er... rent boats,
as usual.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Is there anyone who can
  verify that?

  -Uncle
  ...

  -Uncle
  Well, I guess Polly could.

  -Phoenix
  Th-that's not good enough
  for a court of law!

  -Judge
  Mr. Wright... exactly
  what's not good enough?

  -Phoenix
  Ah, uh, Your Honor, this
  "Polly" is a parrot.

  -Judge
  A... parrot?

  -Uncle
  Don't be so hard on
  the girl, Keithy-boy!

  -Judge
  Keith...?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  The prosecution concedes
  that we cannot prove the
  witness was in the shop.

  -Karma
  Witness... please continue.

(3)
-Uncle
Then I heard a "bang!"
Ayup.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  And where did the "bang"
  seem to come from?

  -Uncle
  From the lake, I figure.

  -Karma
  Are you certain?

  -Uncle
  A-ayup.

  -Karma
  Good. Continue!

(4)
-Uncle
When I looked out the
window, I saw a boat just
a' floating on the lake.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Was there someone in the boat?

  -Uncle
  It was pretty far out
  there... I couldn't see
  clearly...

  -Uncle
  But I figure there was
  two men out there, ayup.

  -Phoenix
  But you couldn't see
  them clearly!

  -Uncle
  Ayup... at the time, that is.

  -Phoenix
  (At the time...?)

(5)
-Uncle
Then I heard another "bang."

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So you heard two gunshots
  total?

  -Uncle
  Ayup.

  -Phoenix
  (That's what Lotta said
  in her testimony yesterday.)

(6)
-Uncle
Just about then the boat
comes back to shore, and
a man walks by my window.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "By your window"?

  -Uncle
  Ayup, by my window.
  Right outside the window
  of my little shack.

  -Phoenix
  And, could you see the
  man's face?

  -Uncle
  Well, the fog was pretty darn
  thick, but he was right there
  in front of me. I saw him.

  -Judge
  This is a rather important
  detail! Please add it to
  your testimony.

  -Uncle
  ...

  -Karma
  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

  -Phoenix
  (I have a bad feeling
  about this...)

  ADD PART 7

(7)
-Uncle
That man was the defendant...
he was saying "I can't believe
he's dead."

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  END CROSS-EXAMINATION

-Phoenix
(If I know von Karma, he spent
time preparing his witness.)

-Phoenix
(I'm not going to find
contradictions very easily
in this testimony.)

-Phoenix
(Whew... it's tough being
a lawyer.)

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

-Phoenix
A-are you sure!?

-Uncle
..

-Phoenix
(Uh oh!)

-Phoenix
D-Dad!

-Uncle
Dead certain, Keith!

-Uncle
He said "I can't believe
he's dead" as he was walking
by, too.

-Karma
Witness! Are you sure that
the person you saw was
Miles Edgeworth!?

-Uncle
It was him!
That Edgeworth boy!

-Judge
..

-Judge
This... sounds like decisive
evidence indeed. I see no
room for doubt.

-Phoenix
(von Karma...)

-Phoenix
(He lured me into cross-
examining so he could set
me up for a fall!)

-Karma
Tsk, tsk, tsk...

-Maya
N-Nick...!
I don't like the way things
are going here!

-Maya
Everyone in the courtroom
is glaring at us!

-Phoenix
(I'd better act quick, or this
trial is going to be over!)

***Raise an objection***********************
*
* -Phoenix

-Phoenix
It's no good!
There's nothing I can do.

-Maya
A... are you sure?

-Phoenix
To be honest...

-Phoenix
I don't know what
to do anymore.

-Maya
Please...

-Maya
Can you hear me, Sis?
Please...

-Maya
We need your help...
Nick needs you...

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...

-Karma
Three minutes was perhaps
too high an expectation.

-Karma
However, fifteen minutes
isn't bad! This must be
a new record.

-Judge
Enough!
The witness may leave
the stand.

-Uncle
Zzzz...

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

-Judge
This court sees no reason to
further prolong the trial.

-Judge
Nor is there any need for
more time to decide the case
against the defendant.

-Judge
This case is extremely clear.
I see no room for mis-
interpretation of the facts.

Phoenix
(W-what!? No!)

-Karma
Hmph.

-Judge
This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Miles
Edgeworth...

* G U I L T Y *

-Judge
The accused will surrender
to the court immediately,

-Judge
to be held pending trial at
a higher court within a
month from today's date.

-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!

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

W-w-waaaaaaait!

-Judge
Wh-who was that just now?

Me!!!

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Phoenix
Waaaaah!

-Phoenix
L-Larry!

-Judge
Wh-what are you doing here!?

-Butz
Listen! Y-you gotta
listen to me!

-Butz
I... I was...

-Butz
I was there, in the park,
the night of the murder!

-Butz
I... I wasn't sure about
it until just yesterday.

-Butz
B-but today I remembered it!

-Judge
Remembered what?

-Butz
The gunshot!

-Butz
I heard it too!

-Judge
O-order!

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
What is the meaning of this!?

-Karma
The verdict has been decided!
I call for adjournment!

-Judge
One moment, Mr. von Karma.

-Judge
So, you say you heard
a gunshot?

-Butz
Yeah, I did!
A gunshot! That night!

-Butz
I was sitting here in the
audience, listening to the
testimony...

-Butz
Then I realized, something he
said was different from what
I remember!

-Butz
A-anyhow, I can't just sit
here and let you call
Edgey a murderer!

-Butz
It's...
It's just not right!

-Butz
I'll testify!
Lemme testify!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Well, this is the first
time something has happened
like this in my court.

-Judge
I'm not quite sure
how to proceed...

-Karma
Judge!
You've already given
your decision!

-Karma
The trial is over!

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
This is it!
Larry's given us one
final chance at this!

-Phoenix
(She's right!)

-Phoenix
(If only it wasn't Larry...)

-Phoenix
(He could make things
even worse...)

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth was just
declared guilty, Nick!

-Maya
It doesn't get any worse!

-Phoenix
You're right!
Okay!

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
If there is another witness,
it is our duty to hear him
speak!

-Phoenix
Right here!
Right now!

-Karma
A waste of time!

-Karma
The verdict cannot be
overturned!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
..

-Judge
..

-Judge
Allow me to speak my
opinion.

-Judge
In all court proceedings, it
is our duty to prevent an
inaccurate verdict.

-Judge
In order to make sure no
mistake has been made, every
witness should be heard!

-Karma
Wh-what is this!?

-Judge
I withdraw my previous
verdict of "guilty"!

-Judge
Mr. von Karma!

-Judge
I order you to call this
new witness to testify.

-Judge
Now!

-Karma
Whaaaat!

-Judge
The court will adjourn
for a five minute recess.

-Judge
After that, we will
hear this new witness.

-Judge
Court is adjourned!

December 27, 10:28 AM
District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
Whew...

-Phoenix
That was too close.

-Phoenix
Sorry to keep you on the
edge of your seat like
that, Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
Hmph.

-Edgeworth
I've seen worse.

-Phoenix
(Yeah right, Edgeworth.
You're sweating bullets!)

-Phoenix
I just wonder what Larry
plans to say in there.

-Maya
Larry was at the lake
that night?

-Phoenix
Yes...

-Phoenix
He said he went looking
for the Steel Samurai balloon
that flew into the lake.

-Maya
Oh right.

-Maya
And he found the balloon
and the air tank that night?

-Phoenix
Yeah.

-Edgeworth
..

-Phoenix
Hey, Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Huh?
You say something, Wright?

-Phoenix
Yeah, a lot of things.

-Phoenix
You seem out of it.
What's wrong?

-Edgeworth
It... it's nothing.

-Phoenix
Hmm?

-Maya
Umm... Mr. Edgeworth?
There's something I've
been meaning to ask you.

-Edgeworth
What's that?

-Maya
Why are your fingerprints
on the murder weapon?

-Edgeworth
Oh.

-Edgeworth
When he fell into
the lake, I went into
a daze.

-Edgeworth
I couldn't understand what
had happened. I couldn't
think straight.

-Edgeworth
Then I saw the pistol
lying on the floor of
the boat in front of me.

-Edgeworth
I picked it up without
thinking.

-Edgeworth
I didn't have a reason,
really.

-Maya
I see...

-Edgeworth
Wright...

-Phoenix
Yeah?

-Edgeworth
This might be our chance.

-Phoenix
Our chance?

-Edgeworth
von Karma has only ever
run perfect trials.

-Phoenix
Perfect trials...?

-Edgeworth
Perfectly prepared witnesses,
perfectly complete evidence.

-Edgeworth
That's the secret to
his success.

-Edgeworth
This is the first time
he's ever had to deal with
something unexpected!

-Edgeworth
He has let someone he hasn't
even talked to testify before
the court!

-Edgeworth
And that someone... is Larry!

-Phoenix
What are you getting at?

-Edgeworth
It's likely his testimony
will be full of holes, Wright.

-Maya
That's right, Nick!

-Maya
No ten minute trial this time!
We'll milk this one for all
it's worth!

-Phoenix
Hey, it was fifteen minutes!
Fifteen! (Everything depends
on Larry now...)

Court is now back in session.

-Judge
Witness...

-Judge
Please testify to the
court about everything
that you saw...

-Judge
on the night of December
24th.

-Butz
Right... leave it to me!

(Please, Larry, don't mess
this one up!!!)

-Pheonix
(I hate to admit it, but
you're our last chance!)

time to prep his witness.)

right about this being
our big break...)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The Night of the Murder --

(1)
-Butz
That night, I was out
in a boat on the lake.

(2)
-Butz
I was looking for something,
and I, er, found it.

(3)
-Butz
So I quietly slipped the
boat back in at the rental
shop dock.

(4)
-Butz
Then, just as I was thinking
about going home, I heard
this "bang"!

(5)
-Butz
I looked out over the lake,
but I didn't notice the boat.

(6)
-Butz
So after I heard that single
gunshot I went home.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
That was an unusually vague
testimony, even for this
court.

-Judge
In any matter, Mr. Wright,
you may begin your cross-
examination.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor...

-Maya
What's wrong, Nick?

-Phoenix
It's Larry!
I have no idea what he's
going to say if I press him.

-Phoenix
I'm a little scared.

-Maya
Hmm...

-Maya
Well, we've come this far.
There's no way to go but
forward, Nick!

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The Night of the Murder --

(1)
-Butz
That night, I was out
in a boat on the lake.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  ...

  -Judge
  Something wrong, Mr. Wright?

  -Phoenix
  There were so many things
  wrong I don't know where
  to begin...

  -Judge
  Ah...

  -Phoenix
  Um, well, okay. First of
  all, what time was it?

  -Butz
  Oh, it was after 11:00
  when I went out in the
  boat.

  -Butz
  But that time everyone had gone
  home for the night.

  -Butz
  So I waited until the
  coast was clear, so
  to speak.

  -Phoenix
  And why were you out
  on a boat at such a
  late hour...?

(2)
-Butz
I was looking for something,
and I, er, found it.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "Looking for something"...?

  -Butz
  Er, yeah.

  -Judge
  Mr. Butz, what was it
  you were looking for?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  What the witness was
  searching for is irrelevant!

  -Karma
  Most likely he was hunting
  for this "Gourdy"!

  -Phoenix
  (You know, it wouldn't
  surprise me one bit
  if that was the truth.)

  -Karma
  This is all irrelevant!
  Let's get it over with.

(3)
-Butz
So I quietly slipped the
boat back in at the rental
shop dock.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Around what time was that?

  -Butz
  Uh...
  Well, let's see...

  -Butz
  I figure I was out searching
  for about an hour...

  -Butz
  I guess it was around
  12:00. Yeah.

  -Judge
  You're not sure?

  -Butz
  Hey! Don't give me that face!

  -Butz
  I'm not some sort of
  human sundial, okay!?

  -Phoenix
  (People use watches
  these days, Larry...)

(4)
-Butz
Then, just as I was thinking
about going home, I heard
this "bang"!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Where did the sound
  come from?

  -Butz
  Yeah, well, I wasn't
  too sure about that.

  -Butz
  I looked around, y'know.

  -Judge
  Did you look at the lake?

  -Butz
  Yeah, I looked.

(5)
-Butz
I looked out over the lake,
but I didn't notice the boat.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Wasn't there a boat
  on the lake!?

  -Judge
  Order! Order!

  -Judge
  Well? Mr. Butz!

  -Butz
  Whoa, whoa.

  -Butz
  Everybody just calm
  down, okay?

  -Butz
  I mean, it was real
  foggy that night.

  -Butz
  I'm not sure whether
  there was a boat out
  there or not.

  -Phoenix
  (Oh, okay, no problem. That's
  just the MOST IMPORTANT PART
  of this case!!!)

  -Karma
  Hmph!

(6)
-Butz
So after I heard that single
gunshot I went home.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, you only heard one "bang"
  correct?

  -Butz
  Yeah.

  -Phoenix
  (Huh.)

-Maya
Well, Nick?

-Phoenix
Hmm...

-Phoenix
It was a pretty wishy-washy
testimony, wasn't it?

-Phoenix
I guess I should just start
working on the contradictions.

-Maya
Sorry...

-Maya
I wish I could be more
helpful. I wish I could call
my sister...

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
W-wait a sec, Larry!

-Butz
Wh-what!?

-Phoenix
You only heard one
"bang"!? You're sure!?

-Butz
That's what I said!

-Phoenix
But Ms. Lotta Hart testified
yesterday that she heard
two "bang"s!

-Phoenix
And the old man just now
said the same thing!

-Phoenix
They both heard two
gunshots that night!

-Butz
Huh?

-Phoenix
Were you even listening!?

-Phoenix
Were you paying attention at
all to what they said?

-Butz
Yo, Nick, please!

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Butz
You know, something's been
bothering me.

-Butz
I'm a witness, see?
I'm like a customer here!

-Butz
So you got to treat me
nice and stuff, okay!?

-Phoenix
..

-Judge
Mr. Butz.

-Butz
What!?

-Judge
You only heard one gunshot?
Are you sure?

-Butz
..

-Butz
Umm...

-Butz
Well, to tell ya the truth...
I'm not sure.

-Judge
Eh...?

-Phoenix
Not sure!?
H-how could you not be sure?

-Butz
Yeah, well...

-Butz
I, uh, I might have
missed the other gunshot.

-Butz
I was, uh, listening
to something else...

-Phoenix
Something... else?

-Butz
My radio, dude!
On my headphones.

-Phoenix
Whaaaaaaat!?

-Judge
Order! Order!
And stop that booing!

-Judge
M-Mr. Butz!

-Judge
You were listening to
a radio on earphones?

-Butz
Y-yeah! So what!
That a crime!?

-Butz
I listen to my radio!
Everybody listens to the
radio! What's the big deal!?

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Mr. von Karma... your
opinion?

-Karma
Waste of time.

-Karma
I do not accept this witness,
nor his shoddy testimony.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?
Should he continue the
testimony?

***That's enough****************************
*
* -Phoenix
* (No, I think I've heard
* enough. This is all too
* embarrassing...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (In fact, I think we've
* all heard enough.)
*
* -Maya
* What are you saying, Nick!?
*
* -Maya
* If you stop now, Mr. Edgeworth
* will be found guilty!
*
* -Maya
* We have to turn this trial
* around now!
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh...
*
* CONTINUE
*
********************************************

***Continue*********************************
*
* CONTINUE

-Phoenix
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
Please... please allow the
witness to continue his
testimony.

-Karma
Bah!

-Karma
Nothing is more pitiful than
a lawyer who doesn't know
when he's lost!

-Judge
Very well, Mr. Butz.

-Judge
Please give your testimony,
and be sure to include details
like your RADIO.

-Butz
Right! Leave it to me!

-Phoenix
(I wouldn't if there were
any other way out of this,
believe me.)

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- What Larry Heard --

(1)
-Butz
It's lonely, being alone
on Christmas Eve!

(2)
-Butz
That's why I was listening
to an all-requests show on
the radio, see?

(3)
-Butz
I was listening to it
real booming loud, like.

(4)
-Butz
But I'm sure I heard
that gunshot!

(5)
-Butz
I remember exactly what
the DJ was saying when
I heard it, too.

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

-Judge
You were listening to your
radio... at a high volume!?

-Butz
Yeah, what's the big problem?

-Butz
Can't a man listen to his
radio in peace? Isn't this
a free country!?

-Phoenix
(I truly believe Larry has
no idea what the problem
here is.)

-Karma
Judge.

-Karma
Can you believe a word
this witness says?

-Karma
What he heard was probably
nothing more than a drum
beat from the radio!

-Judge
True enough, it is difficult
to believe this testimony.

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Wait, Your Honor!

-Phoenix
The witness said he remembers
exactly what the DJ said when
he heard the gunshot!

-Judge
Excuse me?
"Dee-jay"...?

-Phoenix
An announcer... the guy who
says things on the radio.

-Phoenix
Anyway!

-Phoenix
What this means is, when he
heard the sound, no music
was playing!

-Phoenix
The DH only talks between
songs! So he could have heard
the gunshot from the lake!

-Phoenix
I'd like to cross-examine
the witness, Your Honor!

-Judge
V-very well, Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
(I can't believe I'm
continuing this charade...)

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- What Larry Heard --

(1)
-Butz
It's lonely, being alone
on Christmas Eve!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, you turned on the radio?

  -Butz
  Right!

  -Butz
  I just wanted to hear
  someone's voice, y'know?

  -Butz
  You don't know what it's
  like out there, alone,
  on Christmas Eve! Alone!

  -Phoenix
  (I shouldn't have said
  anything...)

(2)
-Butz
That's why I was listening
to an all-requests show on
the radio, see?

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Do you by any chance remember
  the name of the program you
  were listening to?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  This has nothing to do with
  the case, Your Honor!

  -Judge
  Objection sustained.

  -Judge
  The witness was listening
  to the radio. That is all
  we need to know.

  -Judge
  Tell us, Mr. Butz, how loud
  was your radio set to that
  night?

(3)
-Butz
I was listening to it
real booming loud, like.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Real "booming" loud?

  -Butz
  Yeah, y'know.

  -Judge
  And you had headphones on?

  -Butz
  Yup.

  -Judge
  I wouldn't think you could
  hear anything going on outside
  at all...

(4)
-Butz
But I'm sure I heard
that gunshot!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Can you prove that...?

  -Phoenix
  No... no, of course you can't.

  -Butz
  Nah, I can't prove it.

  -Butz
  But I remember that moment
  real clear.

  -Butz
  I mean, while I was talking
  about it, it came back real
  clear to me, y'know?

(5)
-Butz
I remember exactly what
the DJ was saying when
I heard it, too.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What did he say?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Mr. Wright!

  -Karma
  Please cease these
  pointless questions!

  -Karma
  What possible good could
  knowing what a radio DJ
  said do us!?

  -Judge
  Indeed, Mr. von Karma
  has a point.

  -Judge
  I'll allow the question only
  if you see some reason why
  we should care...?

  ***We don't care****************************
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (Hmm... right.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (I don't really have a
  * deep reason for asking,
  * now that I think about it.)
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * Understood, Your Honor.
  * I withdraw my question.
  *
  * -Judge
  * Continue your examination
  * of the witness, then.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * (This is getting nowhere...)
  *
  ********************************************

  ***We should care***************************
  *

  * Uh.
  *
  * -Phoenix
  * W-well, how do you know

  * -Judge
  * Fine, very well.

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

(6)
-Butz
Just when she said "Hey!
it's almost Christmas!" I
heard the gunshot!

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Are you sure?

  -Butz
  Course I am!

  -Butz
  She had this real
  sexy voice...

  -Phoenix
  (Hmm... maybe von Karma was
  right. I'm not sure how
  that helped us at all.)

-Phoenix
This is the most ludicrous
testimony I've ever heard.

-Phoenix
(But there is one
gleaming ray of hope
in there!)

-Phoenix
(I've got to press it
until we get to the
bottom of what happened!)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Larry! Are you absolutely
sure what you're saying
is correct!?

-Butz
Huh? What's with the face?
You look scary, dude.

-Butz
Hey, if you're trying
to scare me, you better
know I don't scare that easy!

-Judge
Is something the matter,
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Did you hear what the
witness just said?

-Phoenix
The DJ said "Hey! It's almost
Christmas!" when he heard
the gunshot!

-Judge
Indeed...
And...?

-Phoenix
"Almost Christmas" means
it wasn't Christmas!

-Phoenix
Do you realize what this
means?

-Phoenix
When he heard the gunshot,
it was still Christmas Eve!!!

-Judge
That would seem to be
the case, yes...

***If Lake Photo used to object*************
*
* -Phoenix
* But he should have heard
* that gunshot after midnight!
*
* -Phoenix
* This photograph is irrefutable

* Let's see what the time was on
* the photo taken when the gun

-Phoenix
This is a clear
contradiction, Your Honor!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
What does this mean?

-Judge
The two prior witnesses
heard gunshots after
midnight.

-Judge
However, this witness says
he heard a gunshot before
midnight...

-Karma
Judge.
The answer is simple.

-Karma
The current witness
is plainly mistaken.

-Karma
Just look at hm!
Suspicious!

-Butz
Wh-whaaat!?

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?

-Judge
What do you think about
Mr. Butz's claim he heard
the gunshot before midnight?

***Larry's wrong****************************

Larry's not mistaken,
Your Honor!

He heard that gunshot before

Intriguing.

I'm assuming you have evidence

Show me evidence there was

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Look at this photograph!

-Phoenix
This was taken by our witness
yesterday, Ms. Lotta Hart,
with her automatic camera.

-Phoenix
The timestamp on the photo
reads "December 24, 11:50 PM."

-Judge
Oh yeah?

-Judge
Hmm?

-Judge
But, there's nothing on
the lake in this picture.

-Phoenix
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The real issue here is not
why nothing is shown in this
photograph.

-Phoenix
It is why this photograph
exists at all!

Judge
What do you mean?

-Phoenix
Your Honor...

-Phoenix
This photograph was taken
by an automatic camera.

-Phoenix
That camera was set to go off
in response to loud noises!

-Judge
Ahah!

-Phoenix
Correct!

-Phoenix
There was a loud noise on the
lake at 11:50 PM.

-Phoenix
That is why this photograph
was taken!

-Phoenix
In other words...

-Phoenix
When Larry heard that gunshot,
it was most definitely
Christmas Eve!

-Judge
Indeed, it would seem
that is the case!

-Judge
Then... where does that
leave us?

-Judge
Ms. Hart testified that she
heard the gunshots after
midnight.

-Judge
Are you claiming she
was mistaken?

-Phoenix
Not at all, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
It is a fact that the camera
also triggered at 15 minutes
after midnight!

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
That night, there were two
sets of gunshots, with a
25 minute pause between them!

-Judge
Why would this be...?

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Don't be fooled, Judge!

-Karma
That camera was set to
respond to "loud noises"!

-Judge
Yes?

-Karma
There is no proof that the
"loud noise" at 11:50 was
a gunshot!

-Karma
Why, the witness could have
sneezed, triggering the
camera!

-Butz
H-hey, my nose was clear
that night, man! Clear!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Well, Mr. Wright?

-Judge
There's no turning back now.

-Judge
Can you prove that the "loud
noise" at 11:50 PM was indeed
a gunshot?

-Judge
Please show the court evidence
if you have any.

***Present something wrong******************

*
* -Judge

* I wasn't really sure about

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
This is my evidence.

-Judge
The... murder weapon?

-Phoenix
Something about this pistol
was bothering me, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
Both of the witnesses who
testified yesterday heard
two gunshots.

-Phoenix
However, the murder weapon
was fired three times.

-Phoenix
When, then, was the
last shot fired?

-Phoenix
Only now have I realized
the truth.

-Phoenix
That third shot was the shot
Larry heard just before
midnight!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
That would make sense
of the evidence we've
seen so far.

-Judge
..

-Judge
However...

-Judge
This leaves me wondering
exactly what did happen
that night on the lake.

-Karma
Exactly!

-Karma
If this is true, there
were two sets of gunshots,
separated by 25 minutes!

-Karma
One at 11:50, another
at 15 minutes after
midnight!

-Karma
Why, I ask you! Why!?

-Phoenix
(Uh oh, I'd better think
of something quick!)

-Phoenix
(...)

-Phoenix
(Wait a second...!)

-Phoenix
(Gunshots separated by
25 minutes...?)

-Phoenix
Aaaaaaaaaaah!

-Maya
Wh-what's wrong, Nick!?

-Phoenix
I have it! I have it!

-Maya
Huh?

-Phoenix
Remember the case with
the Steel Samurai!?

-Maya
Huh? Yeah, of course
I remember...

-Phoenix
The murderer in this case
had the same idea as the
murderer in that case!

-Maya
What do you mean?

-Phoenix
Maya!

-Maya
Yes!?

-Phoenix
If we don't figure this
out now, we'll never overturn
Edgeworth's guilty verdict!

-Phoenix
I've got a hunch, and I'm
going to run with it...

-Maya
Right!
I mean... is this safe?

-Phoenix
Safe? We've already gotten
a guilty verdict! We have
nothing to lose!

-Maya
..

-Phoenix
You just watch and let me
know if I say anything
that sounds fishy, okay?

-Maya
Right, Nick!

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Judge
Y-yes, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
The testimony just now has
cleared up this entire case!

-Judge
What do you mean, Mr. Wright!?

Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...

-Karma
So, you've finally
realized the truth?

-Karma
There can be no other
murderer here than
Miles Edgeworth himself.

-Phoenix
Wrong, von Karma!

-Phoenix
A man was shot that night,
but it wasn't Edgeworth
who did the shooting!

-Karma
Listen, rookie.

-Karma
Take a deep breath, and
consider the facts.

-Karma
At the time of the murder,
one boat was on that lake.

-Karma
This was shown by the
witness's photograph.

-Karma
The defendant, Edgeworth,
and the victim, Robert
Hammond were on that boat.

-Karma
There was a gunshot fired
on that boat, and Robert
Hammond fell into the lake.

-Karma
The distance of the shooting
was one meter. It couldn't
have been suicide!

-Karma
Well?

-Karma
The guilty party has to be
the other man on that boat!

-Judge
I admit, it is hard to imagine
any other possibility.

-Phoenix
Yes...

-Phoenix
But this assumes that the
victim was shot at 15 minutes
after midnight.

-Judge
..

-Judge
What do you mean by
that, Mr. Wright?

-Judge
We have photographic evidence
of the time of the shooting.

-The timestamp on the photo
says 00:15.

-Phoenix
But Larry heard a gunshot
25 minutes before that!

-Phoenix
Robert Hammond was killed
then! 25 minutes before the
shot on the lake!

-Phoenix
(That's the only way that
Edgeworth could be innocent!)

-Judge
..

-Karma
..

-Karma
Mr. Wright.
Are you quite mad?

-Karma
Explain who this is
sitting on the boat!

***The murderer and Hammond*****************

-Phoenix
Of course, it was
Edgeowrth and the
murderer!

-Phoenix
After the murderer killed
Robert Hammond at 11:50...

Phoenix
He assumed the guise of
Mr. Hammond and met Edgeworth!

-Judge
Wh... What!?
Are you serious?

-Phoenix
Yes. Edgeworth won't tell
us why he went to the lake
that night.

-Phoenix
However, I have a hunch.

-Phoenix
That night, Robert Hammond
called Edgeworth to the lake.

-Phoenix
Now, Edgeworth didn't know
Robert Hammond's face that
well.

-Phoenix
That's why he didn't suspect
anything when the murderer
took Robert Hammond's place!

-Judge
..

-Judge
I'm not sure what to
make of all this.

-Karma
L-Ludicrous!

-Judge
Mr. Wright.

-Judge
Tell us the name of
the murderer then!

The murderer's name...?
Right! It's...

I don't know because

-Phoenix
The murderer is the
caretaker of the boat
shop, that old man!

-Phoenix
At 11:50, he was the one who
killed Robert Hammond.

-Judge
The caretaker of the
boat shop!?

-Judge
Wh-where did he do this!?

-Judge
There weren't any boats
on the lake then!

-Phoenix
Why would he have to go
all the way out on the lake
just to shoot someone?

-Phoenix
May I suggest...
That the real scene of this
crime was not in a boat!

What!?

W-well then, where did

-Karma
Do you have proof that the
boat shop was the scene of
the crime!?

-Phoenix
Recall Larry's testimony
if you will.

-Phoenix
That night he was out on
the lake in a boat, searching
for something.

-Phoenix
He finds it, and returns
the boat.

-Phoenix
Then, just as he's starting
to head for home, he hears
a gunshot!

-Phoenix
He heard a gunshot,
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Even though he was wearing
headphones at the time!

-Phoenix
In other words, the gunshot
was very, very close by!

-Phoenix
And where would that be if
he had just returned a boat?

-Judge
The boat shop...!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!

-Judge
What happened that night
on Gourd Lake!?

-Judge
Please tell the court,
from the beginning!

-Phoenix
Y-yes, Your Honor.

-Maya
Nick, are you sure
about this...?

-Phoenix
Um, not really.

-Phoenix
But, I think if I start
at the very beginning...

-Phoenix
And I take it slow, I might
just be able to figure this
out...

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

-Phoenix
That night...

-Phoenix
The caretaker of the boat
shop called Robert Hammond
to his shop.

-Phoenix
This was around 11:50.

-Phoenix
That was when the gunshot
that Larry heard was fired.

-Phoenix
After that, the caretaker
put on Robert Hammond's
coat...

-Phoenix
He became Robert Hammond!

-Phoenix
Then he got in the boat with
Edgeworth, and went out into
the middle of the lake.

Then... who fired the pistol

Why would he shoot twice

Uh...

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

-Phoenix
I believe he shot twice to
create a witness, Your Honor.

-Judge
Create a witness...?

-Phoenix
The murderer lifts his pistol
and fires one shot.

-Phoenix
That ensures that anyone who
heard the shot would look
at the lake.

-Phoenix
Indeed, Ms. Hart did exactly
that after hearing the first gunshot.

-Phoenix
Next!

-Phoenix
The murderer waits a bit
and he fires again.

-Phoenix
Then...

-Phoenix
The murderer jumps
from the boat himself!

-Phoenix
Leaving the pistol
in the boat behind him.

-Judge
..

-Judge
I see!

-Judge
To someone looking from
the edge of the lake...

-Judge
It would appear that one
of the men on the boat
had shot the other!

-Phoenix
The murderer didn't know
about the automatic camera,
of course.

-Phoenix
That's why he shot twice
to draw attention to the
boat!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Phoenix
Once you realize that,
everything else falls
into place!

-Phoenix
The boat shop caretaker
swam back to his shop.

-Phoenix
Then he put Mr. Hammond's
wet coat back on the body.

-Phoenix
And threw the body
into the lake!

-Phoenix
This is what happened,
Your Honor.

-Phoenix
These are the events that
transpired that night on
Gourd Lake.

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

-Judge
Very well. While we are
waiting for the caretaker...

-Judge
I would like to ask the
defendant, Miles Edgeworth,
a few questions.

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth.
Please take the stand.

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

-Judge
Mr. Edgeworth...

-Judge
You heard what the
defense has said?

-Edgeworth
Yes.

-Judge
Well?

-Judge
Why did you go to
the lake that night?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
What Wright has said
was mostly correct.

-Edgeworth
Astonishingly so, actually.

-Edgeworth
Yes...

-Edgeworth
Several days ago, I received
a letter.

-Edgeworth
The letter was signed,
"Robert Hammond."

-Edgeworth
He asked me to come to the
boat shop by the lake at
midnight on Christmas Eve.

-Edgeworth
He said he had something
very important to discuss
with me.

-Judge
Something important?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
I'm sorry. I can't say
what it was.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Guard
Your Honor, sir!

-Judge
Bailiff! We are conducting a
trial here, I ask that you
remain quiet...

-Guard
The witness has disappeared!
He isn't at the boat shop,
either!

-Judge
What!?

-Guard
What should I do?

-Judge
F-find him, quickly!
We cannot allow him
to get away!

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

-Judge
Mr. von Karma!
Your witness has disappeared!

-Karma
..

-Karma
A search warrant has already
been issued.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
It goes without saying that
I cannot declare a verdict
under these circumstances.

-Judge
I will extend the trial until
tomorrow, the final day
allowed.

-Judge
I request that the police
department utilize all its
forces to find that witness!

-Judge
Am I understood?

-Karma
..

-Judge
One more thing.

-Judeg
Just who is that boat shop
caretaker?

-Judge
I think his identity has
become very important
to this trial.

-Judge
I want him, and I want
to know who he is.

Hmm. I can't make up my mind.

-Edgeworth

What is this about, Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth

It's... a nightmare I've had.

S-swooning? Me?

-Maya
Oh... Oh, yes.
I do remember feeling faint.

-Butz
Right on! Tell me the
truth, it was like love
at first sight, right?

-Butz
Right, Nick?

-Phoenix
H-huh? Me!?

-Phoenix
I... uh, well, maybe my heart
skipped a beat or two...

-Butz
..

-Butz
I think you can do
better than that!

-Butz
C'mon! I saved Edgeworth
in there, dude! Edgey!

-Butz
You guys should be bowing
before me! Yeah!
Bow before your hero!

***Talk about "Today's trial"***************
*
* -Phoenix
* Larry...
* You really helped out
* in the trial today.
*
* -Maya
* You did!
*
* -Maya
* If you weren't there,
* Larry, I'm sure Mr. Edgeworth
* would have been found guilty!
*
* -Butz
* Hah hah hah hah hah hah
* hah hah hah hah hah hah!
*
* -Butz
* But, seriously, Nick.
*
* -Butz
* That boat shop caretaker
* guy is pretty suspicious...
*
* -Butz
* But Edgey ain't off
* the hook yet!
*
* -Maya
* Way to spoil the mood, Larry.
*
* -Butz
* Hey, I'm just a guy sitting
* in the audience, you know?
*
* -Butz
* But from where I was sitting,
* Edgey seemed pretty... edgy.
*
* -Butz
* I mean, can you really
* know he's telling the
* truth about that night?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Nick?
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't know.
*
* -Phoenix
* But... what I do know is...
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm going to believe in
* you two until the end.
*
* -Butz
* Us two?
*
* -Maya
* Edgeworth and... who else?
* You mean me right?
*
* -Butz
* Nah! He means me!
* Right, Nick?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah, you, Larry.
*
* -Maya
* Not... me?
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* B-but why you, Larry!?
*
* -Butz
* Huh?
*
* -Butz
* Um, actually, yeah.
* Why me, Nick?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Maya
* Hmph. Enough with the
* silent treatment!
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Edgeworth"*******************
*
* -Maya
* Nick...
*
* -Maya
* Why do you trust Mr. Edgeworth
* so much?
*
* -Maya
* I mean, he's changed
* recently, true.
*
* -Maya
* But when we first met
* him, he was kind of a
* jerk, don't ya think?
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* You didn't know him back then.
*
* -Phoenix
* Back when he wanted to
* become a defense attorney.
*
* -Maya
* Wait...
*
* -Maya
* Was that when you two were
* classmates?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yes. In grade school...
*
* -Phoenix
* They saved me...
* Miles...
*
* -Phoenix
* And Larry.
* They saved me and I'll
* never forget it.
*
* -Phoenix
* That's why I became a
* defense attorney, you know.
*
* -Maya
* Whaaaat!?
*
* -Maya
* Hey, hey, Larry.
* What's he talking about?
*
* -Butz
* Huh? Uh... um...
*
* -Butz
* Er, sorry.
* I kinda forgot.
*
* -Maya
* Hmph.
*
* -Maya
* Okay, Nick. Out with it!
* I'm going to hear this
* story today, and that's final!
*
* -Phoenix
* Okay, okay.
*
* -Phoenix
* It's kind of a long story,
* so hang in there.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* It was the beginning of
* Spring, 4th grade.
*
* -Phoenix
* I was on trial. A class trial.
*
* -Maya
* A c-class trial!?
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The class trial"*************
*
* -Phoenix
* You remember, Larry?
* Spring, 4th grade?
*
* -Phoenix
* A kid in my class got his
* lunch money stolen.
*
* -Maya
* Lunch money?
*
* -Phoenix
* Our school was really small.
*
* -Phoenix
* Every month, kids would bring
* in an envelope with money for
* lunch from home.
*
* -Maya
* Huh, I see.
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, this kid's envelope
* disappeared. With $38.00 still
* inside.
*
* -Butz
* Oh... Yeah, now that you
* mention it, I do remember
* that!
*
* -Phoenix
* I can see why you'd
* forget though.
*
* -Phoenix
* You were out of school
* that day.
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, the envelope had
* been stolen during PE class.
*
* -Phoenix
* I was coming down with a cold,
* so I'd skipped PE that day.
*
* -Phoenix
* I was the only one not
* in class.
*
* -Maya
* So... they thought you did it?
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah. The kids in class said
* I should be put on trial.
*
* -Maya
* Trial...?
*
* -Phoenix
* So the next day we held a
* classroom trial, with me
* as the defendant.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Phoenix
* "I... I didn't do it!"
*
* "Guilty!" "He did it!"
* "Guilty!" "It was you!"
* "Thief!"
*
* "Give me my money back!"
* "You're such a meanie!"
* "No one play with him!"
*
* "Just admit you did it!"
* "You can't hide the truth!"
* "Tell us the truth!"
*
* "We're not gonna play with
* you any more!" "Yeah, and
* no borrowing my eraser!"
*
* "He shouldn't be allowed in
* the relay race!" "Or on the
* library committee!"
*
* "Gimme back that 50 cents I
* loaned you!" "Hey, did you
* rob that bank the other day?"
*
* -Teacher
* "Now, Phoenix, you know you
* shouldn't steal people's
* money! It's not right."
*
* -Phoenix
* In the end, even the teacher
* thought I'd done it.
*
* -Teacher
* "Apologize to the class,
* Phoenix."
*
* -Phoenix
* I... I didn't know what
* was happening.
*
* -Phoenix
* I was so sad...
* I couldn't stop crying.
*
* -Phoenix
* Everyone was staring at me
* like I'd done it...
*
* -Phoenix
* I tried to apologize.
* I went over to where
* the boy was sitting...
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when it happened.
*
* *OBJECTION!*
*
* "He shouldn't have to
* apologize!"
*
* "The only thing that belongs
* in a trial is evidence!"
*
* "Anything else has no place!"
*
* "You should all be ashamed...
* amateurs!"
*
* -Teacher
* "M-Miles?"
*
* -Edgeworth
* "It wasn't you who stole
* my money, was it?"
*
* -Phoenix
* "No..."
*
* -Edgeworth
* "Then you shouldn't
* apologize!"
*
* -Edgeworth
* "Everyone's been shouting
* you did it, but no one has
* any proof!"
*
* -Edgeworth
* "That is why, Your Honor,
* this boy is innocent!"
*
* -Teacher
* "B-but Miles, it was your
* money that was stolen!"
*
* "Yeah yeah!"
* "He did it! He's the one!"
*
* "We don't need proof!"
* "Make him say he's sorry!"
*
* "Why don't you all just
* shut up!!!"
*
* -Butz
* "This is always how it is,
* everybody ganging up and
* picking on one person."
*
* -Butz
* "Just think how he feels!"
*
* -Butz
* "He said he didn't do it,
* so he didn't do it!"
*
* ...
*
* -Teacher
* "Very well."
*
* -Teacher
* "I will replace the money
* myself."
*
* -Teacher
* "This class trial is over."
*
* -Phoenix
* That's how it happened.
*
* -Phoenix
* After that, the three of
* us were always friends.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Maya
* Wow... I had no idea!
*
* -Butz
* Yeah... I had no idea, either!
* I mean, I forgot.
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when I learned what
* it meant to be alone.
*
* -Phoenix
* Totally alone, without a
* friend in the world.
*
* -Maya
* You did a good thing, Larry!
*
* -Butz
* Um, yeah, well...
*
* -Butz
* I was just lucky that I took
* the day off from school.
*
* -Butz
* If I'd been there they would
* have thought I'd done it!
*
* -Butz
* So, I took it kind of
* personally, see.
*
* -Phoenix
* ("When something smells.
* it's usually the Butz.")
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Edgeworth's goals"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* Anyway, Edgeworth and I talked
* after that class trial.
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when I heard his
* father was a defense attorney.
*
* -Phoenix
* I remember, his eyes would
* shine when he talked about
* his father.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Edgeworth
* "I'm going to become a defense
* attorney, just like my Dad!"
*
* -Edgeworth
* "A famous defense attorney!"
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Phoenix
* Then, a few months later,
* he suddenly transferred
* to another school.
*
* -Maya
* The DL-6 Incident...
*
* -Phoenix
* Right. I'm not sure, but the
* transfer probably had to do
* with his father's death.
*
* -Maya
* That's so sad!
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* It was several years later
* when I heard Edgeworth's
* name again.
*
* -Phoenix
* There was an article about him
* in the newspaper.
*
* -Phoenix
* The headline was something
* like "Dark Suspicions of
* a Demon Attorney."
*
* -Phoenix
* Fabricating evidence,
* manipulating testimonies,
* covering up facts...
*
* -Phoenix
* The article said he'd do
* anything to get a guilty
* verdict. Anything.
*
* -Butz
* But why?
*
* -Butz
* What happened!? I mean,
* that's not the Edgey I
* used to know at all!
*
* -Phoenix
* That's what I thought too.
*
* -Phoenix
* I tried to get in touch
* with him I don't know
* how many times...
*
* -Phoenix
* He never replied.
*
* -Maya
* I guess he didn't
* want to see his
* old friends...
*
* -Phoenix
* I couldn't just drop
* it, though.
*
* -Phoenix
* I wanted to meet him, to
* learn why he had become
* who he became.
*
* -Phoenix
* That's when I decided.
*
* -Maya
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* Wait... You don't mean...?
*
* -Maya
* That's why!?
*
* -Maya
* That's why you became
* a defense attorney!?
* To meet Edgeworth!?
*
* -Phoenix
* If I was a defense attorney,
* I knew he'd have to meet me
* whether he wanted to or not.
*
* -Phoenix
* In court.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Edgeworth believed in me,
* and I beleive in him.
*
* -Phoenix
* He's in pain...
* And no one's on his side.
*
* -Phoenix
* I'm the only one who knows
* the real Edgeworth. I'm the
* only one who can help him.
*
* -Butz
* Whoa... Nick.
*
* -Butz
* S-so, is that why you
* helped me out for free?
*
* -Phoenix
* Uh... yes.
*
* -Phoenix
* I helped you because
* I believed in you.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Except I don't remember
* saying I'd do it for free...)
*
* -Butz
* Aww, Nick! Nick!!!
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
*
* -Maya
* We have to save Mr. Edgeworth
* if it's the last thing we do,
* okay?
*
* -Phoenix
* Right.
* (It very well may be...)
*
* -Maya
* First, there's that rental
* boat shop caretaker.
*
* -Maya
* We need to find out
* who or what he is!
*
* -Phoenix
* I'd settle for who.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I guess I can clean out
* some of this evidence
* I no longer need...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Okay, let's go!

You look as grim as always.

-Edgeworth
Hmph.

-Maya
Um, Mr. Edgeworth?
I heard the story about
the class trial...

-Edgeworth
Class trial? What do you mean?

-Maya
You... don't remember?

-Edgeworth
No, I don't.

-Maya
Your lunch money was
stolen, wasn't it?
In 4th grade...?

-Edgeworth
Lunch money...?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Oh... Oh, right.
Yes, I seem to remember
something like that.

-Maya
Nick.
I think you're the only
one who really remembers.

-Phoenix
Well, it probably only
really mattered to me
anyway.

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth, didn't
you know?

-Maya
That trial was the reason
Nick became a defense
attorney!

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Ridiculous!

-Phoenix
(Gee... thanks.)

-Edgeworth
That said...

-Edgeworth
It does sound like the
kind of thing you'd do.

-Edgeworth
You haven't changed a bit,
have you, Wright? So...simple.
To a fault, even.

-Phoenix
Well, maybe yeah, but...

-Phoenix
I think you changed
too much, Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
Perhaps.

* I'm not sure I can

***Talk about "Why prosecute?"**************
*
* -Phoenix
* Hey, Edgeworth. Why did you
* become a prosecutor, anyway?
*
* -Phoenix
* You used to look up to your
* dad... You said you wanted to
* be a defense attorney, right?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* I couldn't let myself deny
* reality like you.
*
* -Pheonix
* What do you mean?
*
* -Edgeworth
* My father was taken from me,
* and you want me to defend
* criminals?
*
* -Edgeworth
* I'm sorry, Wright, but I'm
* not that good of a person!
*
* -Maya
* One suspect was apprehended
* in your father's murder,
* right?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Yes. The man trapped in the
* elevator with my father.
*
* -Edgeworth
* His name... was Yanni Yogi.
*
* -Edgeworth
* He had to be the shooter,
* any way you look at it!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Yet... he was found innocent.
* That defense attorney got
* him off the hook!
*
* -Phoenix
* (That would be Robert
* Hammond...)
*
* -Edgeworth
* On that day, 15 years ago...
*
* -Edgeworth
* The three of us were trapped
* in that elevator for five
* hours.
*
* -Edgeworth
* When we were rescued, we
* all suffered oxygen
* deprivation.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I had lost all memory of
* the murder.
*
* -Phoenix
* Lost your memory?
*
* -Edgeworth
* Even now, I can't recall
* what happened in that
* elevator.
*
* -Edgeworth
* That was the crux of Yogi's
* attorney's argument in court.
*
* -Edgeworth
* He claimed Yanni Yogi had
* been "not of sound mind" due
* to the oxygen deprivation.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Yogi was released due to a
* lack of evidence... innocent.
*
* -Edgeworth
* That's when I changed my mind.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I started to hate defense
* attorneys.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Prosecutor von Karma"********
*
* -Phoenix
* What's your relationship
* with von Karma?
*
* -Edgeworth
* He's my teacher, and a man
* who deserves respect.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I learned everything I know
* of courtroom techniques
* from him.
*
* -Maya
* So, he's like my sister
* was to you, Nick.
*
* -Edgeworth
* He is a perfectionist
* in all things.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In court...
* In his personal life...
*
* -Edgeworth
* He is obsessed with doing
* everything perfectly.
*
* -Maya
* Perfectly, huh?
*
* -Edgeworth
* In all the cases he has
* taken on, none were left
* unsolved.
*
* -Edgeworth
* And not one suspect was
* declared innocent. Ever.
*
* -Maya
* But... but that's...
*
* -Edgeworth
* I know.
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's possible some of the
* suspects were indeed innocent.
*
* -Edgeworth
* However, it is impossible
* for us to accurately determine
* that in every case.
*
* -Edgeworth
* All von Karma does is his
* job, to find the suspect
* guilty, perfectly.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In any case...
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's nigh well impossible
* to find a weakness in him.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Should a weakness appear,
* he would do everything in his
* power to make it go away.
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, Edgeworth?
*
* -Phoenix
* If what you're saying is
* true, you're headed for
* a guilty sentence tomorrow!
*
* -Maya
* H-he's right!
* Now's no time to praise
* the enemy, Mr. Edgeworth!
*
* -Edgeworth
* Mmph...
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's a strange situation
* in which I find myself,
* I'll admit.

* -Phoenix
* (No kidding.)

Yep.

I never imagined he might
be the real murderer!

Ah hah, hello!

Out for a walk, hmm?

"Ahh... the days of my

Mr. Grossberg!

-Maya
This is no time for idle

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth's trial ends
tomorrow!

-Grossberg
Er... that is true, yes.

-Grossberg
But, from what I saw of
today's trial, Edgeworth
should be fine, right?

-Phoenix
Well...
I'm not so sure about that.

-Grossberg
Ho ho!
What do you mean by that?

-Phoenix
Well... I'm not sure.

-Grossberg
Hmm...

-Grossberg
If you find anything out,
come by my office at once.

-Grossberg
I may be able to offer

Mr. Grossberg was

* When he killed Robert Hammond

* This came out of the safe

*
* -Edgeworth
* Revenge... on me?

*
* -Edgeworth
* The quake was incredibly

*
* -Edgeworth
* Before I knew it, everything
* was dark.
*
* -Edgeworth
* We were there for so long,
* it felt like forever.
*
* -Edgeworth
* The air thinned... and the
* darkness closed in on us
* in that little box.
*
* -Edgeworth
* We became... unsettled.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* "H-help! I can't breathe!"
*
* "Quiet! I said quiet!
* You're not making this
* any easier!"
*
* "I want to get out!
* Help! Get us out!"
*
* "Don't shout! You'll just
* use up more oxygen!"
*
* "...!"
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Edgeworth
* That's all I remember...
*
* -Edgeworth
* When I came to, I was in
* a hospital bed, staring
* up at the ceiling.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In court, Yanni Yogi's
* mental condition was
* called into question.
*
* -Edgeworth
* They claimed the oxygen
* deprivation and stress
* had caused temporary insanity.
*
* -Edgeworth
* In the end, the claim passed
* the court, and Yogi was
* found innocent.
*
* -Maya
* Huh...
* But, isn't that strange?
*
* -Maya
* This letter tells him to
* "get revenge on Edgeworth"...
*
* -Maya
* Why would he want to take
* revenge on you?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* Wright.
*
* -Phoenix
* Yeah?
*
* -Edgeworth
* There's something that's been
* troubling me these last few
* days.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I... didn't know whether or
* not I should tell you.
*
* -Phoenix
* You mean the nightmare?
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's... a nightmare I've had.
*
* -Edgeworth
* A memory of a crime...
* that I committed.
*
* -Phoenix
* A crime you committed?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...A memory... of a murder.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Edgeworth
* I think...

* -Edgeworth
* I think the time has
* come to tell all.

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

***Talk about "The nightmare"***************
*
* -Edgeworth
* For the last 15 years, I've
* had the same dream almost
* every night.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I wake up in a fearful
* sweat, every time.
*
* -Maya
* What kind of dream?
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's a dream about my father's
* killing... in the dark.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* "H-help! I can't breathe!"
*
* "Quiet! I said quiet!
* You're not making this
* any easier!"
*
* "I want to get out!
* Help! Get us out!"
*
* "Don't shout! You'll just

* "Stop breathing my air!
* I'll... I'll stop you!"
*
* "Aaaah! Wh-what!?
* What are you...!?"
*
* "Stop breathing my aaaaair!"
*
* (No! Father!)
*
* (He's attacking Father!)
*
* -Edgeworth
* Then I see the pistol
* lying by my feet.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I don't know if it was
* evidence from that day
* in court, or the bailiff's...
*
* -Edgeworth
* In a daze, I pick up

* (Get away from my father!)
*
* *BANG*
*
* Uuaaaaaaaaaaaaa
* aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Edgeworth
* And with that scream...
* I wake.
*
* -Edgeworth
* It's a bone-chilling scream.
*
* -Edgeworth
* A scream that has rung in
* my ears for the past 15 years.
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* B-but...
*
* -Maya
* That's just a dream, right?
* Right?
*
* -Edgeworth
* ...
*
* -Edgeworth
* That thought is the only thig
* that has kept me sane for the
* last 15 years.
*
* -Edgeworth
* But what if I'm wrong?
*
* -Edgeworth
* What if it's real?
*
* -Edgeworth
* They say that sometimes people
* shut out memories in self-
* defense.
*
* -Edgeworth
* Maybe it was I who killed
* my father!
*
* -Maya
* What!?
*
* -Edgeworth
* If you think about it that
* way, this letter makes sense.
*
* -Edgeworth
* "Get your revenge on
* Miles Edgeworth."
*
* -Edgeworth
* Think about it. Yogi was
* really innocent.
*
* -Edgeworth
* That's why he wanted revenge
* against me!
*
* -Phoenix
* Wait, Edgeworth!
* You... you mean...!
*
* -Edgeworth
* It was me.
*
* -Edgeworth
* I was the true criminal
* of DL-6. I shot my father!
*
* -Phoenix
* This is bad...
*
* -Maya
* What are we going to do,
* Nick? What can we do!?
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't know...
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't think there is

M-Mr. Grossberg!

Ah, hello there.
What's wrong?
You look troubled.

-Maya
No kidding!
I can't believe you're not!

-Grossberg
M-my my my...

-Grossberg
Just calm down and tell
me what's happened, hmm?

-Maya
It's M-Mr. Edgeworth!
He... He... *sob*

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

-Grossberg
I see...

-Grossberg
So, Edgeworth dreamt
he shot his own father?

-Maya
It's o-only a dream!
Only a dream!

-Grossberg
..

-Grossberg
I wonder...

-Maya
W-what...?

-Grossberg
If that's the case, then
why do you two look so
troubled, hmm?

-Maya
W-well...

-Grossberg
Also, consider this.

-Grossberg
Yogi quite certainly holds
a deep grudge against Miles
Edgeworth.

-Grossberg
So deep, he'd want to frame
him for murder.

-Grossberg
This leads me to surmise...

-Grossberg
That Mr. Edgeworth's dream
was NOT a dream. It was real.

-Grossberg
As you imagined.

-Grossberg
Miles Edgeworth threw the
pistol to save his father...

-Grossberg
the pistol fired...
and the deed was done.

-Grossberg
..

-Maya
N... No!

-Maya
I don't believe it!

-Grossberg
Yogi was suspected of murder,
and his career as a bailiff
was irrevocably wrecked.

-Grossberg
Thus, he sought revenge
on Miles Edgeworth.

-Grossberg
This was his last chance, of
course, with the statute of
limitations so close.

* -Phoenix
* Hmm... could it be
* Manfred von Karma?
*
* -Grossberg
* von Karma? Why would he have
* something to do with this?
*
* -Phoenix
* Um, well, I'm not sure...
*
* -Grossberg
* ...
*
* -Grossberg
* Hmm?
* von Karma... von Karma...
*
* -Grossberg
* W-wait! You're right, my boy!
*
* -Grossberg
* This is von Karma's handwriting,
* I'm sure of it!
*
* -Grossberg
* I used to see it all the
* time on court reports...
*
* -Maya
* Whaaaaaat!?
* But... but that means...!
*
* -Maya
* Th-the one who told
* Mr. Yogi to kill was...
*
* -Grossberg
* Correct.
* Manfred von Karma, himself!
*
* -Phoenix
* What does this mean, then?
*
* -Phoenix
* Why would von Karma want
* to frame Edgeworth...?
*
********************************************

***Present Letter from the Safe again*******
*
* -Grossberg
* No doubt about it, this
* is von Karma's handwriting.
*
* -Grossberg
* Yogi was following von Karma's
* instructions when he killed
* Hammond.
*
* -Maya
* But, why kill Robert Hammond?
*
* -Grossberg
* Hammond was a skilled
* defense attorney.
*
* -Grossberg
* But... he defended clients
* not for their sake, but
* for his own.
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? His own sake?
*
* -Grossberg
* He never trusted his
* clients, that one.
*
* -Grossberg
* The only thing he trusted
* was his own ability.
*
* -Maya
* But, he got his client
* found innocent. So why
* should it matter?
*
* -Grossberg
* Actually, my dear, it's
* quite different.
*
* -Grossberg
* He won that innocent verdict
* for no one but himself.
*
* -Grossberg
* Yogi was a free man, but
* socially, he was ruined.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Huh...?)
*
* -Grossberg
* You'll understand soon
* enough.
*
* -Grossberg
* ...
*
* -Grossberg
* Now, there's only one
* question left.
*
* -Grossberg
* Why did von Karma write
* this?
*
* -Grossberg
* And why now?
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Gregory Edgeworth"***********
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you know about
* Edgeworth's father?
*
* -Grossberg
* ...
*
* -Grossberg
* He was a defense attorney
* without peer.
*
* -Grossberg
* It sounds trite, but
* it's true.
*
* -Grossberg
* Well, he may have had one peer
* now that I think about it.
*
* -Grossberg
* Your mentor, Mia Fey.
*
* -Maya
* My sister...?
*
* -Grossberg
* Gregory Edgeworth was very
* disapproving of Mr. von
* Karma's techniques.
*
* -Phoenix
* (That's no surprise...)
*
* -Grossberg
* von Karma is an extreme man.
* Forged testimonies and
* evidence are nothing to him.
*
* -Grossberg
* The result: he has a perfect
* win record in court.
*
* -Grossberg
* To beat him, Gregory
* Edgeworth tried to call
* attention to his methods.
*
* -Maya
* And...?
*
* -Grossberg
* He lost.
*
* -Grossberg
* And died in despair,
* as it were.
*
* -Maya
* I see...
*
********************************************

***Talk about "The spirit medium"***********
*
* -Grossberg
* When Gregory Edgeworth was
* killed, the police called
* on a spirit medium.
*
* -Grossberg
* That was your mother,
* Misty Fey.
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* "I am Gregory Edgeworth...
* I have been killed..."
*
* "The one who shot me...
* was the bailiff...
* Yanni Yogi."
*
* --------------------------------------------
*
* -Grossberg
* Yet Yogi was found innocent.
*
* -Maya
* That's when my mother left us.
*
* -Maya
* Everyone called her a fraud.
*
* -Grossberg
* That's right. Everyone thought
* she was, you see.
*
* -Grossberg
* Yet... now that I think about
* it.
*
* -Grossberg
* It seems the one who lied
* was Gregory Edgeworth's
* ghost...
*
* -Grossberg
* Gregory Edgeworth must have
* known who shot him.
*
* -Phoenix
* I don't believe it...
*
* -Phoenix
* So you're saying he falsified
* his "testimony"?
*
* -Phoenix
* That Edgeworth's dad lied to
* protect his son...?
*
* -Grossberg
* It's only a possibility,
* mind you.
*
* -Grossberg
* But... a possibility
* nonetheless.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Prosecutor von Karma"********
*
* -Grossberg
* If it truly was von Karma
* who wrote this letter, then
* he would know the truth.
*
* -Grossberg
* He would know that Miles
* Edgeworth had accidentally
* killed his own father.
*
* -Phoenix
* ...!
*
* -Grossberg
* He'll say as much tomorrow
* in court, I should think.
*
* -Grossberg
* He'll press the point until
* the court finds Miles
* Edgeworth "guilty."
*
* -Phoenix
* Oh no!
*
* -Maya
* B-but how could von Karma
* know about Mr. Edgeworth's
* past like that?
*
* -Maya
* Even Mr. Edgeworth thought
* it was just a nightmare!
*
* -Grossberg
* Hmm...
* That, I do not know.
*
* -Grossberg
* Yet I do know that von Karma
* is both persistent...
* and a perfectionist.
*
* -Grossberg
* He may be seeking to satisfy
* a grudge against Gregory
* Edgeworth by hurting his son.
*
* -Phoenix
* What do you mean?
*
* -Grossberg
* It was fifteen years ago...
*
* -Grossberg
* von Karma met Gregory
* Edgeworth in court, and
* von Karma did win...
*
* -Grossberg
* But he didn't make it
* through the trial unscarred.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Gregory vs. Manfred"*********
*
* -Phoenix
* What happened in the trial
* between Edgeworth's dad
* and von Karma?
*
* -Grossberg
* von Karma got the "guilty"
* verdict he wanted. He won
* the trial.
*
* -Grossberg
* But Gregory Edgeworth accused
* von Karma of faulty evidence.
*
* -Grossberg
* And though he lost the trial,
* Mr. Edgeworth's accusation
* stood.
*
* -Maya
* Faulty evidence?
*
* -Grossberg
* It was the only penalty
* von Karma has ever received in
* his career as a prosecutor.
*
* -Grossberg
* Gregory Edgeworth dealt a blow
* to his perfect trial record.
*
* -Maya
* Wow.
*
* -Grossberg
* It must have been quite
* a shock for von Karma.
*
* -Grossberg
* He took a vacation for
* several months after that,
* you see.
*
* -Phoenix
* A vacation...?
*
* -Grossberg
* Yes, an unusual event
* for the man.
*
* -Grossberg
* That was the first, and the
* last vacation he's taken in
* his many years of prosecuting.
*
* -Maya
* Really!?
* He doesn't take vacations!?
*
* -Maya
* Like... go to the sea,
* or, uh, to the mountains?
*
* -Maya
* Don't tell me he's never been
* to Europe!?
*
* -Phoenix
* You have strange ideas
* about vacations, Maya.
*
* -Grossberg
* In any case...
*
* -Grossberg
* That was the only time he
* took a vacation from work.
*
* -Grossberg
* I believe the penalty upset
* him quite a lot.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Odd... If he wanted to
* keep a perfect record
* so badly...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (why would he take such
* a long vacation?)
*
********************************************

AFTER TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING

-Maya
What do we do, Nick?

-Maya
von Karma is going to bring
up DL-6, you can bet on it!

-Maya
What if Mr. Edgeworth pleads
guilty to DL-6!?

-Phoenix
I won't let him!

-Grossberg
Erm, yes, Mr. Wright...

-Grossberg
I hate to say this...

-Grossberg
But even accidental murder
is murder, you know.

-Phoenix
I know that!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
I... I just believe in
Edgeworth's innocence!

-Phoenix
I can't believe he'd
kill someone!

-Maya
B-but, Nick!

-Maya
Mr. Edgeworth admits
it himself!

-Maya
His father must have lied
to protect him, from beyond
the grave...

-Phoenix
I don't care!

-Phoenix
I know he's not guilty!

-Grossberg
..

-Grossberg
Mr. Wright...

-Grossberg
If you say so, I suppose
I could go check again.

-Grossberg
The police files might
hold something of interest.

-Phoenix
Mr. Grossberg... thank you!

-Grossberg
I can't promise anything.
In fact, I think the chances
of finding something are slim.

-Phoenix
I understand.

-Phoenix
(The police materials... hmm.)

-Maya
There's hardly anyone
here...

-Phoenix
Everyone must be out looking
for the old guy... Yogi.

-Police
Ah, it's you.

-Police
I don't think Gumshoe'll
be coming back today.

-Police
He's staying out late looking
for someone.

-Maya
Sounds like Detective Gumshoe
is pounding the pavement
for real!

-Maya
Um, we were wondering if
we could check out the
Records Room again...

-Police
Well, now, I can't have
just anyone wandering
around in there.

-Police
But... I guess Mr. von Karma
is in there now, anyway.

-Police
You can go in as long
as he's there.

-Maya
von Karma...?

-Police
Yes.
He just arrived actually.

-Phoenix
(von Karma's in the
Records Room!)

-Maya
N-Nick! Let's hurry!

***Examine detective************************

* hobbies?"
*
* -Police
* "Well... I like to do
* stake-outs now and then..."

Dusty as always!

-Phoenix
We were only here just
yesterday. I'm sure they just

What's wrong, Nick?

-Phoenix
Nothing. I was just noticing
that he isn't here.

von Karma...

***Examine open drawer**********************
*
* -Maya
* Huh? One of the drawers
* here is open.
*
* -Phoenix
* Someone must have been
* looking in it recently.
*
* -Maya
* The label says,
* "Unsolved Cases: Evidence"
*
* -Phoenix
* Hmm... "Unsolved cases"?
*
* -Maya
* Nick!
*
* -Maya
* The file for DL-6... it's

* Wh-what!?

* What are you doing in here!

* Eeek!

* You...!

* How do you know my name?
*
* -Maya
* Huh?
*
* -Karma
* Have we met?
*
* -Maya
* W-w-what are you saying!?
*
* -Maya
* We see each other every

*
* -Maya
* We're Miles Edgeworth's
* defense team!
*
* -Karma
* Defense team...?
*
* -Karma
* Ahem. I beg your pardon, you
* see, I rarely remember defense
* attorneys.
*
* -Karma
* They are like bugs to
* me. Needless things,
* to be crushed.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I can see how this guy
* was Edgeworth's mentor.)
*
********************************************

***Examine open drawer again****************
*
* -Phoenix
* This large drawer is
* half-open.
*
* -Phoenix
* The label on the drawer reads:
* "Unsolved Cases: Evidence."
*
* -Phoenix
* All the stuff in here
* looks like random junk.
*
* -Phoenix
* Only the evidence for the
* DL-6 Incident is missing.
*
* -Phoenix
* I can guess who took it,
* too. von Karma.
*
********************************************

***Present other****************************
*
* -Karma
* Fool.
*
* -Karma
* You think I, a prosecutor,
* would give you, a defense
* attorney, information? Bah!
*
* -Maya
* (Creep!)
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Edgeworth"*******************
*
* -Maya
* Uh, umm... Mr. Edgeworth
* was your student, right?
*
* -Karma
* ...
*
* -Karma
* A romanticist who could
* never shed that veneer
* of amateurism.
*
* -Karma
* Just like his father.
* Always second rate.
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. von Karma...
*
* -Phoenix
* You had an axe to grind with
* Mr. Gregory Edgeworth, didn't
* you?
*
* -Karma
* Me? A grudge against a mere
* defense attorney? Why?
*
* -Phoenix
* Because he dealt a blow to
* your otherwise perfect trial
* record?
*
* -Karma
* Hmph.
*
* -Phoenix
* So you did... but what I
* don't get is...
*
* -Phoenix
* Why did you take his son
* under your wing afterwards?
*
* -Phoenix
* The son of your most
* bitter rival?
*
* -Karma
* ...
*
* -Karma
* That, my dear attorney,
* is none of your business.
*
********************************************

***Talk about "Tomorrow's trial"************
*
* -Karma
* Tomorrow will be the last
* day of this trial.
*
* -Karma
* It's been a while since I've
* had a defense attorney last
* this long.
*
* -Karma
* Still, you will lose
* in the end.
*
* -Karma
* Miles Edgeworth will admit
* his own guilt.
*
* -Phoenix
* His guilt of 15 years ago,
* you mean?
*
* -Karma
* ...
*
* -Karma
* You're quite the researcher.
*
* -Karma
* If you've done your homework
* so well, then certainly,
* you must understand.
*
* -Karma
* You know what Miles Edgeworth
* will tell the court tomorrow.
*
* -Phoenix
* (We were right...)
*
* -Phoenix
* (So von Karma is going to
* bring up DL-6 in court
* tomorrow.)
*
********************************************

***Present Letter from the Safe*************
*
* -Phoenix
* Mr. von Karma,
* have a look at this.
*
* -Karma
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* This was you, wasn't it?
*
* -Phoenix
* You instructed Yanni Yogi
* to commit murder.
*
* -Karma
* ...
*
* -Karma
* Yanni Yogi...
*
* -Karma
* How many years has it been
* since I've heard him called
* by that name.
*
* -Karma
* He's a fool.
*
* -Karma
* I told him to burn it after
* he read it.
*
* -Maya
* ...!
*
* -Maya
* S-so you admit it!
*
* -Maya
* You... you wrote Mr. Yogi
* this letter!
*
* -Karma
* Yes, my dear defense
* attorney.
*
* -Karma
* Thank you for taking the
* trouble to bring it to me.
*
* -Karma
* You've saved me from a lot
* of needless hassle.
*
* -Phoenix
* Wh-what!?
*
* -Maya
* N-Nick!
* What is that thing!?
*
* -Phoenix
* A stun gun.
* For self defense... usually.
*
* -Karma
* Indeed.
*
* -Karma
* 600,000 volts will course
* through your body like a dog
* touching an electric fence.
*
* -Phoenix
* Six hundred thous...!?
*
* -Karma
* Oh, don't worry.
* People don't die from it,
* usually.
*
* -Karma
* Now, give me the letter.
*
* -Phoenix
* (No!!!)
*
* -Maya
* Nooooooooooo!
*
* -Karma
* Whoa! What are you--!?
*
* -Maya
* N-Nick! Run!!!
*
* -Maya
* Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
*
* -Phoenix
* M-Maya!
*
* -Karma
* Out of my way!
*
* -Phoenix
* Waaaaaaaaaaaah!
*
* ...
*
* ...
*
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* (Ugh... He got us.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (The letter's... gone,
* of course.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (And he took the DL-6
* evidence... all of it.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Back to having no clues.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wait... Maya jumped first.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maya...! Is she okay?)
*
* -Phoenix
* (...)
*
* -Phoenix
* Ma...Maya!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Maya! Open your eyes!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Phoenix
* Maya!
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* The letter!
* Did he take it?
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh!? Oh... yeah.
* A-are you okay!?
*
* -Maya
* ...
*
* -Maya
* I... I couldn't stop him.
*
* -Maya
* I jumped as fast as I could,
* but one shot from that thing
* knocked me out cold.
*
* -Maya
* I'm useless.
*
* -Maya
* I'm no good as a lawyer, or
* a medium! I can't even call
* my sister.
*
* -Maya
* Not even now, when we need
* her the most.
*
* -Maya
* I wish I hadn't woken up
* at all.
*
* -Phoenix
* Maya!
*
* -Phoenix
* (Grr! There has to be some

*
* -Phoenix
* (I'd better do something about

*
* -Phoenix
* ...?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Maya...
* She's holding something!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (What is that? A bullet?)
*
* -Phoenix
* "DL-6 Incident, Evidence No. 7
* Taken from the heart of
* Gregory Edgeworth."
*
* -Phoenix
* I remember...
*
* -Phoenix
* von Karma was holding this
* when Maya jumped him.
*
* Put DL-6 Bullet in pocket.
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'll prove it to you,
* Maya.)
*
* -Phoenix
* (You're most definitely
* not useless!)
*
* -Phoenix
* (I'll prove it to you

District Court
Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Phoenix
(This is it... judgment day.)

-Phoenix
(Today, things are going to
get settled at last...
a lot of things.)

-Phoenix
Waaaaaaaargh!

-Phoenix
Wh-what's the big idea!?

-Maya
S-s-sorry, Nick!

-Maya
I only touched your shoulder!

-Maya
I guess the "shock" hasn't
worn off from my run-in with
the stun gun yesterday.

-Maya
Anyhow, today's the last day
of the trial! Good luck, Nick!

-Phoenix
Yeah... thanks, Maya.

-Edgeworth
..

-Phoenix
(Edgeworth is looking glum
as always.)

-Phoenix
(I hope von Karma doesn't
push him too hard.)

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Whooooooooaa!

-Edgeworth
Wh-wh-what are you doing!?

-Maya
Sorry! I'm sorry!

-Maya
I just thought I'd ch-cheer
you up with a pat on the
back...

-Phoenix
Maya...

-Phoenix
Maybe you should go outside
and discharge?

-Maya
Right. Good idea.

-Phoenix
(Try not to electrocute
anyone on your way out...)

Woooooooooyaaah, pal!

-Gumshoe
What's gotten into that girl?

-Phoenix
Detective Gumshoe!

-Gumshoe
Morning!
Mr. Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
Uh... good morning.

-Phoenix
How did it go, Detective?

-Gumshoe
Have no fear! As promised,
I've captured our runaway
caretaker!

-Gumshoe
I just brought him in.
Took all night, pal.

-Phoenix
Thanks, Detective Gumshoe.
You must be tired.

-Gumshoe
Actually, after that shock
I got on the way in, I feel
pretty good.

-Phoenix
(Yogi says he's forgotten
his own name...)

-Phoenix
(But that has to be a lie!)

-Phoenix
(Why would he want revenge on
Edgeworth if he couldn't
remember his past!?)

-Phoenix
(He does remember... and
I'm going to prove it!)

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

December 28, 10:00 AM
District Court
Courtroom No. 3

-Judge
Court is now in session for
the trial of Miles Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
The defense is ready,
Your Honor.

-Karma
..

-Karma
The prosecution...
is ready.

-Judge
..

-Judge
U-uh... right, very well.

-Judge
We have reached the final
day of our proceedings in
this trial.

-Judge
I ask that the prosecution
submit decisive evidence.

-Karma
Understood.

-Judge
..

-Phoenix
(C'mon! Don't be awed into
silence by every little
thing he says!)

-Judge
Very well, Mr. von Karma,
your opening statement.

-Karma
Right.

-Karma
Thanks to Detective Gumshoe's
efforts, the boat rental shop
caretaker has been arrested.

-Karma
In yesterday's trial, the
defense asserted that the
caretaker was the murderer.

-Karma
However, the caretaker has
yet to confirm this.

-Karma
I would like to ask the
defense to cross-examine
him as much as necessary.

-Judge
Very well!

-Judge
Please bring the witness
into the courtroom.

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

-Karma
Ladies and gentlemen of
the court...

-Karma
I believe you all remember
our witness.

-Karma
He lives in the boat rental
shop on the lake, from where
he witnessed the incident.

-Karma
In addition, he has currently
lost memory of his name and
identity.

-Judge
Witness!

-Judge
Why did you run away
yesterday?

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
The witness was not running
away, as he will now testify.

-Judge
I-I see.

-Judge
Very well, please begin
your testimony.

-Uncle
Zzzz... mmph?

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

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- Why I Left Court --

(1)
-Uncle
Er, I'm really sorry about
just leaving yesterday like
I did.

(2)
-Uncle
But, I wasn't running away
or nothing.

(3)
-Uncle
I, uh, went to buy some food
for Polly, see...

(4)
-Uncle
I figured I got nothing to
do with this incident anyhow.

(5)
-Uncle
Er... I mean, I'd need one of
those "motive" things, right?
And I don't got one.

-Uncle
So, my testimony yesterday
stands as is.

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

-Judge
Hmm... Very well.

-Judge
Let's begin the cross-
examination, shall we?

-Phoenix
(He has to know his name!)

-Phoenix
(Yanni Yogi! You're Yanni Yogi
and I'm going to prove it!)

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- Why I Left Court --

(1)
-Uncle
Er, I'm really sorry about
just leaving yesterday like
I did.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  I'd call what you did "running
  away," and not "just leaving."

  -Phoenix
  You heard Larry's testimony,
  and realized you were in
  danger!

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Now, Mr. Wright, there's no
  need to rush to conclusions.

  -Karma
  As I said, the witness
  was not "running away."

  -Karma
  Listen to the testimony.

  -Phoenix
  (He sure seems relaxed!)

  -Phoenix
  (In fact, they both do--
  von Karma and Yanni Yogi!)

(2)
-Uncle
But, I wasn't running away
or nothing.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Then why did you leave!?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  He's just about to say why!

  -Karma
  Is it so hard for you to
  just quietly listen when
  someone is talking!?

  -Phoenix
  (If I sat quietly, Edgeworth
  would be guilty in three
  minutes!)

-Uncle
I, uh, went to buy some food
for Polly, see...

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Food...?

  -Uncle
  Well, Polly is a bit of a
  gourmand, you see.

  -Uncle
  She only eats these high-
  quality bird pellets from
  France.

  -Uncle
  They only have them in the
  big pet shop downtown.

  -Phoenix
  But you weren't arrested
  until this morning!

  -Phoenix
  Why didn't you go back
  to the caretaker's shack?

  -Uncle
  Er... well...

  -Uncle
  I kind of got lost, you see.

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  The witness has trouble
  remembering things sometimes.

  -Karma
  When the police apprehended
  him, he was on his way back
  to the shack!

  -Phoenix
  (Yeah, right! Nice try
  von Karma! No one's
  going to believe that!)

  -Judge
  Hmm... I see!
  So he was lost!

  -Phoenix
  (Please! Your Honor, come
  to your senses!)

(4)
-Uncle
I figured I got nothing to
do with this incident anyhow.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  You've lost much of your
  memory, is that correct?

  -Uncle
  Er... ayup, seems like it.

  -Phoenix
  Then how could you know that
  you didn't have anything to
  do with this incident!

  -Uncle
  Uh...

  -Phoenix
  Or...

  -Phoenix
  Or maybe you're lying about
  not having your memory, hmm?

  -Phoenix
  You know exactly who
  you are!

  -Karma
  The witness has testified
  quite clearly that he has
  no memory of who he is.

  -Karma
  If you claim he's lying,
  then show the court proof!

  -Phoenix
  (Grr...)

  -Phoenix
  (How am I supposed to prove
  what's going on in that
  old codger's head?)

  -Phoenix
  (That's impossible!)

  -Karma
  Hmph!
  I'm glad you've come to
  your senses, Mr. Wright.

  -Karma
  Very well, witness.
  Please continue.

(5)
-Uncle
Er... I mean, I'd need one of
those "motive" things, right?
And I don't got one.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  How can you say you had
  no motive? I say you do!

  -Phoenix
  You had a grudge against
  Edgeworth and the victim,
  Robert Hammond!

  -Phoenix
  That's why you took revenge
  on them! Right?

  -Karma
  *OBJECTION!*

  -Karma
  Please don't make me
  repeat myself, Mr. Wright!

  -Karma
  This witness has no memory
  of anything beyond several
  years ago!

  -Karma
  He can't hold a grudge!
  It's impossible!

  -Phoenix
  (I have to prove he's lying
  about his memory...)

  -Phoenix
  (Otherwise, it's going to
  be this same thing over and
  over until the trial ends!)

-Phoenix
(First thigns first, I have
to prove this man is who
he is!)

-Phoenix
(Do that and the motive
will prove itself!)

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

AFTER PRESSING FOR A WHILE

-Judge
Might I say something,
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Yes...
Yes, Your Honor?

-Judge
You've been saying the
same thing now over and
over.

-Judge
You've been calling the
witness's memory of the past
or lack thereof into question.

-Judge
But, does this really have
anything to do with the
current case?

-Phoenix
Of course, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
The witness has said he has
"nothing to do with this
case" and "no motive"...

-Phoenix
Both of these statements
are lies!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
There is a serious problem
with your claim!

-Judge
Or... are you saying...

-Judge
Are you saying you know
who this witness is!?

-Phoenix
Of course, Your Honor!

-Karma
Ho hoh! Now, this is
interesting.

-Karma
I would like to know
myself! So, who is he?

-Phoenix
(Don't play dumb von Karma!)

-Judge
Mr. Wright, please tell
us this witness's name.

***Gregory Edgeworth************************

* -Phoenix
* His name...

*
* -Phoenix
* ...
*
* -Judge
* Er... Mr. Wright?
*
* -Judge
* All of us here remember what
* Gregory Edgeworth looked like.
*
* -Judge
* And he looked nothing like
* this, believe me.
*
* -Phoenix
* (Wow... that's pretty
* harsh, Your Honor...)
*
* -Judge
* I'm going to have to

*

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

-Phoenix
His name is Yanni Yogi,
a former court bailiff!

-Judge
..

-Judge
Yogi...?
That name seems familiar.

-Judge
..

-Judge
Oh!

-Judge
Yanni Yogi!
From the DL-6 Incident!

-Phoenix
(I thought the judge would
have heard of it... it was
such a famous case.)

-Judge
But, what does this mean?

-Phoenix
Your Honor! If this man is
Mr. Yogi, then he has a
clear motive!

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...

-Karma
Jumping to conclusions again,
Mr. Wright!

-Karma
This man, this witness, is
Yanni Yogi? Fascinating!

-Karma
However...

-Karma
How do you propose to
prove this to the court?

-Phoenix
..

-Karma
This is a court of law,
as you may recall. You
need proof!

-Karma
And, allow me to repeat,
once more, that the witness
has lost his memory!

-Phoenix
(This is it...)

-Phoenix
(I have to do this now!)

-Phoenix
(If I can't prove he's
Yogi right here, right
now...)

-Phoenix
(Then I've got nowhere
else to go!)

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
How are you going to prove
it!? How can you prove that
he's Yanni Yogi?

-Phoenix
It's okay. It's actually
quite simple.

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Please take this man's
fingerprints!

-Phoenix
Then, we'll compare them to
the fingerprints on file
for Yanni Yogi 15 years ago...

-Judge
I see... that makes sense.

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk!

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Karma
I'm so very, very sorry,
Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
Wh-why?

-Karma
The witness... has no
fingerprints!

-Phoenix
What?
What!? No fingerprints!?

-Uncle
Er... you see, before I worked
as a caretaker, I worked at
a chemical plant.

-Uncle
I burned my fingers working
with the stuff. Ayup.

-Phoenix
Wh-what!?

-Phoenix
(Yogi, you sneak!)

-Phoenix
(You burned your fingerprints
off to hide your past!)

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Well, if the witness has
no fingerprints...

-Judge
I guess we will not be
able to prove his identity.

-Phoenix
(No...!)

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...
Well, what will you
do, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Uh...

-Karma
Hmm?

-Karma
It seems that the case
has been decided, no?

-Phoenix
(No!!!)

-Phoenix
(I know what happened!
I know everything!)

-Phoenix
(I... I just can't prove it!)

-Phoenix
(But no... I can't let it end
like this. I can't lose!)

-Phoenix
(There has to be another way!)

-Karma
There is no one who can
testify as to who this
witness is! No one!

-Maya
Nick!
What are we going to do!?

-Phoenix
I didn't even consider that
he might have erased his
fingerprints...

-Phoenix
(What do I do!?)

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...
Well, Mr. Wright?

-Karma
Perhaps you'd like to cross-
examine the parrot for a
little comic relief, hmm?

-Phoenix
(Yeah, yeah, very funny.
You're a sore winner,
von Karma.)

-Phoenix
(...)

-Phoenix
(Wait a second...)

-Phoenix
("Cross-examine the parrot"?)

-Maya
Wh-what is it, Nick?

-Maya
No... you're not going to...!?

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
The defense would like to
take Mr. von Karma up on
his proposal!

-Judge
Take Mr. von Karma up?

-Karma
On his... proposal?

-Phoenix
Exactly, Your Honor!

-Phoenix
I would like to cross-
examine the witness's
pet parrot!

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Judge
Uh... well, what do you
think, Mr. von Karma?

-Karma
Need you even ask!?
This is a farce!
I object!

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Wait a second!

-Phoenix
You were the one who suggested
I cross-examine the parrot,
von Karma!

-Phoenix
I have a right to do as
you suggested!

-Karma
Mmph...

-Karma
..

-Karma
Well, if you're so desperate,
then please, be my guest.

-Phoenix
!

-Karma
Of course, should you go
through with this...

-Karma
And nothing comes of it,
then I hope you're ready
for the consequences.

-Maya
Nick... this is crazy!

-Karma
Well?
Still want to go through
with your little game!?

***Yes, I'm doing it************************

  Frankly, I can't believe

-Maya
W-well...

-Maya
I guess we should try to
get some information out
of her!

-Maya
We need to show the judge
that her owner is Mr. Yogi!

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

AFTER ESTABLISHING BOTH NAME AND SAFE NUMBER CONNECTIONS

-Judge
That's enough!

-Judge
I think we've reached
a conclusion here.

-Karma
This is a mere coincidence,
that's all!

-Judge
True, that is a possibility.

-Judge
However, two coincidences
at the same time seems more
like a "pattern" to me.

-Karma
Wh... what are you saying!?

-Judge
Summon the caretaker
of the boat shop.

-Judge
Immediately!

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

-Judge
Witness...

-Judge
Tell us your name.

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Wait!

-Karma
This witness, he doesn't
remember...

-Uncle
No... it's okay.

-Phoenix
..!

-Uncle
I've accomplished what
I wanted to do. I'm done.

-Maya
Nick! He looks totally
different!

-Phoenix
This is the real Yogi,
I think. Finally.

-Phoenix
He's been acting feeble to
hide his true identity.

-Phoenix
Acting... for 15 years!

-Judge
W-well...!

-Judge
Let me ask you again.

-Judge
Please state your name
for the court!

-Yogi
My name... is Yanni Yogi.

-Yogi
15 years ago, I served as
a bailiff in this very court.

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
Yanni Yogi!

-Judge
So was it you who killed
Robert Hammond...?

-Judge
And tried to frame Miles
Edgeworth for his death?

-Yogi
..

-Yogi
Yes.
It was me. I did it.

-Yogi
..

-Yogi
They put me on the witness
stand 15 years ago...

-Yogi
Robert Hammond... he said
I was mentally unsound.

-Yogi
He told me it would make
me innocent. Get me off
the hook.

-Yogi
So... I pretended to have
brain damage...

-Yogi
I was innocent, really!
But he didn't believe me!

-Yogi
We won the trial...
But I lost everything.

-Yogi
I lost my job, my fiancee,
my social standing...

-Yogi
..

-Yogi
Then, this year, 15 years
later...

-Yogi
A package arrived. It was
a letter... and a pistol.

-Yogi
The plan was written out
in careful detail.

-Yogi
It was a plan for me to
take my revenge on the
people who ruined my life.

-Yogi
I didn't care who had
sent it.

-Yogi
I thought this was my chance,
after 15 years, this was it!

-Yogi
Finally, a chance to have my
revenge on Robert Hammond
and Miles Edgeworth...

-Yogi
I have no regrets.

-Judge
W-wait a moment!

-Judge
Revenge... against Miles
Edgeworth?

-Judge
What do you mean?

-Yogi
I'm not at liberty to
speak on that matter.

-Yogi
Why don't you ask Mr.
Edgeworth yourself?

-Yogi
Anyway, I admit it, I was the
one who killed Robert Hammond.

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

-Judge
von Karma...
Where is Mr. Yogi?

-Karma
Under arrest, Your Honor.

-Karma
I saw no room for error
in his confession.

-Judge
Then... the defendant,
Miles Edgeworth is...

-Karma
Innocent.
In this case, at least.

-Judge
Hmm.

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Will the defendant please
take the stand?

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

-Judge
There are a few mysteries
left unsolved.

-Judge
Still, you are cleared of
suspicion for this particular
case.

-Judge
So I would like to pass
judgment on the murder of
Mr. Robert Hammond.

-Judge
Any objections?

-Phoenix
..

-Edgeworth
..

-Karma
..

-Phoenix
(I don't believe it!)

-Phoenix
(Why isn't von Karma saying
anything?)

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Miles
Edgeworth...

* N O T   G U I L T Y *

-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!

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

*OBJECTION!*

-Judge
D-did someone just say
"objection"?

-Phoenix
(It wasn't von Karma...!)

-Phoenix
(Wait, but that means...)

-Phoenix
No...

-Phoenix
Edgeworth!?

-Edgeworth
Your Honor.

-Edgeworth
I object to your judgment.

-Judge
Wh-what do you mean?

-Edgeworth
I'm not innocent at all!

-Edgeworth
As we have heard, Yanni Yogi
killed Robert Hammond in
revenge.

-Edgeworth
But, revenge for what?

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
Edgeworth is trying to
confess! He's going to
say he's guilty!

-Maya
He's going to tell them
he was the murderer in
the DL-6 Incident!

-Maya
He's going to tell them
he killed his own dad!

-Phoenix
(Uh oh! What do I do?)

***Raise an objection***********************

-Edgeworth
For fifteen years...

-Edgeworth
I have had a recurring
dream.

-Edgeworth
A nightmare... it's only
a nightmare. That's what
I told myself.

-Edgeworth
But now I know, it wasn't
a dream.

-Edgeworth
Yanni Yogi wasn't the killer.

-Judge
You mean... in the incident
where your father died?

-Edgeworth
From the distance of the
shot, it wasn't suicide,
either.

-Edgeworth
Everything was as clear
as day.

-Edgeworth
The murderer...

-Edgeworth
The criminal in the DL-6
Incident...

-Edgeworth
It was me!

-Edgeworth
Your Honor!
I confess my guilt!

-Edgeworth
I am guilty for DL-6, the
statute of limitations of
which ends today!

-Edgeworth
The culprit...is me!

-Judge
Order! Order!

-Judge
This is certainly unexpected!

-Judge
The defendant, declared
innocent, is confessing
to a different crime!

-Judge
A crime for which the statute
of limitations runs out today!

-Judge
I'm not really sure how
I should deal with this...

-Karma
Bah!

-Karma
It's obvious.

-Karma
We hold a trial.
Right here. Right now.

-Karma
We try this man for his
crime of fifteen years ago!

-Judge
I think... I think I would
like to take a five-minute
recess.

-Judge
During this time, I will
consider the appropriate
course of action to take.

-Judge
Court is adjourned!

I just don't believe it, pal!

Huh? Oh...

-Phoenix
I was just reading through
the Court Record once more.

-Phoenix
I'm getting my case ready.

-Maya
Your case... for what?

-Phoenix
Huh? Isn't it obvious?
I'm going to prove that
Miles Edgeworth is innocent.

-Gumshoe
..!

-Gumshoe
Wh-what are you talking
about, pal! He just
admitted to it!

-Gumshoe
He confessed that he
did it! In court!

-Phoenix
I'm sorry, Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
But I don't believe
your "nightmare."

-Edgeworth
Wh-what!?

-Phoenix
It's just a dream.
It's not real.

-Phoenix
The truth is right here
in this Court Record.

-Phoenix
In any case, tighten your
belts. The real fight
is just beginning.

-Phoenix
I'll prove you're innocent.
Trust me.

Courtroom No. 3

Judge
Then, I would like to
resume our trial.

-Karma
Judge!

-Karma
Miles Edgeworth has admitted
his own guilt. He has
confessed his crime.

-Karma
Let us begin by hearing
his testimony.

-Karma
Then, though pointless,
let the defense do their
cross-examining.

-Karma
The statute of limitations on
the DL-6 Incident runs out
today.

-Karma
Though it's unconventional for
me, I'd like to run this one
by the book.

-Judge
I see.
Does the defense have any
objections?

-Phoenix
No, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(von Karma... you knew this
was going to happen from the
very beginning, didn't you!)

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Will Miles Edgeworth
take the stand?

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

-Karma
Will the witness state
his name and profession.

-Edgeworth
Miles Edgeworth...
I am a prosecuting attorney.

-Karma
Mr. Edgeworth.

-Karma
Fifteen years ago, you
mistakenly killed your father,
Gregory Edgeworth.

-Karma
Is this correct?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
It is correct.

-Karma
Then testify about this
matter to the court.

-Phoenix
(When Edgeworth was telling
me about his dream yesterday
I noticed something...)

-Phoenix
(One detail didn't quite fit.)

-Phoenix
(That will be the key...
but only if I can get it
to work!)

-Maya
Please...
Please...

WITNESS TESTIMONY
-- The DL-6 Incident --

(1)
-Edgeworth
That day, I had gone to the
courtroom to observe one of
my father's trials.

(2)
-Edgeworth
As we went to leave, an
earthquake struck, trapping
us in the elevator.

(3)
-Edgeworth
My father and Mr. Yogi
lost their composure, and
began to argue.

(4)
-Edgeworth
Just then, something heavy
fell at my feet.

(5)
-Edgeworth
I picked it up, and threw
it at Mr. Yogi. I wanted
them to stop fighting.

(6)
-Edgeworth
A moment later, there was
a single gunshot, then
a scream.

(7)
-Edgeworth
It was a terrible scream.
I remember it to this day.

-Edgeworth
That's all.

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

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
And, until now, you thought
this memory was a "dream"?

-Edgeworth
We were stuck in that
elevator for five hours.

-Edgeworth
The oxygen in the elevator
ran out, and I lost my
memory of the events.

-Karma
Bah! The same claim Mr. Yogi
has made!

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
Mr. Wright? Your cross-
examination, please.

-Phoenix
Yes, Your Honor.

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

CROSS EXAMINATION
-- The DL-6 Incident --

(1)
-Edgeworth
That day, I had gone to the
courtroom to observe one of
my father's trials.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What was the trial your
  father was involved in
  on that day?

  -Edgeworth
  I don't remember things
  very clearly.

  -Edgeworth
  Only two things...

  -Edgeowrth
  I know my father lost,
  and Mr. von Karma was the
  prosecuting attorney.

  -Judge
  Mr. von Karma? You were
  handling that case?

  -Karma
  It was fifteen years ago.
  I don't remember the details.

  -Phoenix
  (That was when Edgeworth
  pointed out the problem in
  von Karma's evidence...)

(2)
-Edgeworth
As we went to leave, an
earthquake struck, trapping
us in the elevator.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  So, there were three people
  including yourself trapped in
  that elevator?

  -Edgeworth
  Yes. Myself, my father,
  and Yanni Yogi.

  -Edgeworth
  We were fine at first...

  -Edgeworth
  But then as time passed,
  and no one came to help...

(3)
-Edgeworth
My father and Mr. Yogi
lost their composure, and
began to argue.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What did you do then?

  -Edgeworth
  I was a nine-year old
  boy at the time.
  What could I do?

  -Edgeworth
  I was scared...
  Trembling, in the corner.

  -Edgeworth
  But then...

(4)
-Edgeworth
Just then, something heavy
fell at my feet.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  What was it?

  -Edgeworth
  A pistol.

  -Edgeworth
  I assume it was the bailiff,
  Yanni Yogi's.

  -Edgeworth
  The safety must have come
  off when it fell from his
  holster.

  -Karma
  And you picked it up.
  What happened next?

(5)
-Edgeworth
I picked it up, and threw
it at Mr. Yogi. I wanted
them to stop fighting.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  Did you know it was
  a pistol when you threw it?

  -Edgeworth
  I think I knew.
  I knew it was dangerous.

  -Edgeworth
  But... the air was getting
  so thick. I panicked.

  -Karma
  So, you're saying that you
  threw the pistol at Mr. Yogi.

  -Edgeworth
  I was... in a daze.

(6)
-Edgeworth
A moment later, there was
a single gunshot, then
a scream.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  The gun fired once?

  -Edgeworth
  Yes...

  -Edgeworth
  I think... after I threw
  it, I lost consciousness.

  -Edgeworth
  Since then...

  -Edgeworth
  They've echoed in my
  head, every day.

  -Edgeworth
  That gunshot, and
  that horrible scream.

  -Phoenix
  The scream...

(7)
-Edgeworth
It was a terrible scream.
I remember it to this day.

  -Phoenix
  *HOLD IT!*

  -Phoenix
  "To this day"...?

  -Edgeworth
  Yes. I can practically
  hear it now.

  -Edgeworth
  I doubt I will ever
  forget that scream
  as long as I live.

-Phoenix
(There it is!)

-Phoenix
(One part of that testimony
clearly contradicts the
evidence...)

-Phoenix
(But I don't know what
it means...!)

-Phoenix
(I'd better find out,
and quick...)

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

-Phoenix
*OBJECTION!*

-Phoenix
Are you sure you only
heard one gunshot?

-Edgeworth
Yes. I'm sure of that.

-Edgeworth
I heard the shot, and
the scream...

-Edgeworth
Then everything faded.

-Edgeworth
I was unconscious until
the rescuers came.

-Judge
I see...

-Phoenix
But that doesn't make
sense!

-Phoenix
Look at this file one more
time.

-Phoenix
This plainly contradicts the
witness's testimony.

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
You do enjoy dragging
out that file, don't you?

-Karma
I don't accept this evidence!
Unless... you can tell us
what page it's on!

-Karma
Which page contradicts
Miles Edgeworth's testimony?

in this file!

-Phoenix
It says it quite plainly:
"the murder weapon was
fired twice"!

-Phoenix
Miles Edgeworth only heard
one gunshot!

-Phoenix
Yet, the murder weapon was
fired twice!

-Phoenix
The first shot was the
accidental firing when
the pistol was thrown.

-Phoenix
So... who fired the
remaining shot!?

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
Was there, perhaps, another
shooter who fired that second
shot?

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
Your Honor.
As I'm sure you're aware...

-Karma
This incident occurred
fifteen years ago. The
evidence is dated...

-Karma
The pistol did fire twice.

-Karma
However, we do not know
WHEN that second shot
was fired.

-Karma
It might have been fired
the day before the incident!

-Karma
There is no proof that the
second shot had anything to
do with this incident!

-Phoenix
(What...!)

-Judge
Hmm... I see, I see.

-Judge
You do have a point.
Mr. Wright?

-Judge
The murder weapon was fired
twice, as we have heard.

-Judge
One of those shots was fired
by the defendant, a boy
at the time.

-Judge
Do you have any proof that
the other shot fired had
something to do with the case?

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
Look at this photograph.

-Judge
This is a photograph of
the scene of the crime,
fifteen years ago.

-Judge
I can see that the victim
lying there is Gregory
Edgeworth...

-Phoenix
This proves the murder
weapon was fired twice, at
the time of the incident!

-Phoenix
This photo proves it!

-Karma
..

-Judge
..

-Judge
So, let me get this straight.
This photo proves two shots
were fired? Where?

-Phoenix
(Y-Your Honor, please...
Please get a clue!)

-Phoenix
(Show the judge the
contradiction in
the photo!)

***Present somewhere wrong******************

* -Phoenix

*
* -Phoenix
* Well, I think...

*

*
* -Phoenix
* Yes?
*
* -Judge
* Your eyes have a habit of

***Present Gregory Edgeworth****************
*
* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Phoenix
* It's here... I think.
*
* -Judge
* You mean the victim...
* Gregory Edgeworth?
*
* -Judge
* Gregory Edgeworth was shot
* once... and he died, as we
* can see here.
*
* -Judge
* What's strange about that?
*
* -Phoenix
* (Er... Maybe I need to be
* more specific here.)
*
* -Judge
* Once more, please!
*
* RETURN TO PHOTO
*
********************************************

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Phoenix
As should be obvious,
the contradiction is here.

-Judge
I see... a bullet
hole in the door...

-Phoenix
Your Honor!

-Phoenix
Gregory Edgeworth was killed
by a shot from the pistol!

-Phoenix
Yet, there is also a bullet
hole in the elevator door!

-Phoenix
We also know that the murder
weapon was fired twice!

-Phoenix
Thus...

-Phoenix
Someone other than Edgeworth
fired that second shot!

-Judge
O-order! Order!

-Judge
Mr. Wright!
What are you driving at?

-Phoenix
It's simple, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
At the time of the incident,
two shots were fired.

-Phoenix
One went into Gregory
Edgeworth's heart.

-Phoenix
The other hit the
elevator door.

-Phoenix
Remember that the defendant
lost consciousness after
the shot he fired rang out.

-Phoenix
In conclusion...

-Phoenix
We must agree that the second
shot was fired by someone
else!

-Judge
M-Mr. Wright!
But who could that
someone else be!?

-Phoenix
The murderer, of course!

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
..

-Karma
I knew I should have stepped
in before your wild fantasies
got out of hand.

-Karma
Mr. Wright...

-Karma
Look once more at the DL-6
Incident case file. Look
closely.

-Karma
Try the "Case Summary" page.

-Phoenix
(The "Case Summary"...
that's on page 1.)

-Karma
Look what is written there!

-Karma
"Not a single clue was found
on the scene."

-Phoenix
..!

-Karma
If the pistol had indeed
been fired two times...

-Karma
Then the other bullet would
have been discovered on
the scene!

-Judge
He does have a point.

-Karma
That second bullet has
never been found!

-Karma
Why?

-Karma
Because the second bullet
does not exist!

-Karma
The bullet that claimed
Gregory Edgeworth's life was
the one fired by his own son!

-Karma
That is the truth of this
matter. The whole truth.

-Karma
It was undoubtedly something
else that made that bullet
hole in the door.

-Judge
Order! I will have order!

-Judge
..

-Judge
Mr. Wright has proven one
thing to us quite clearly...

-Judge
That the murder weapon was
fired twice at the time of
the incident.

-Judge
However!

-Judge
As Mr. von Karma says, the
second bullet fired was not
found.

-Judge
It is highly unlikely that the
police merely overlooked this
second bullet.

-Judge
So, all we have is the single
bullet fired.

-Judge
I'm afraid I have to discount
the defense's claim.

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...

-Karma
I praise the judge for his
wisdom in this matter.

-Phoenix
(Gah! How did this happen!?)

-Phoenix
(I don't believe that the
second bullet didn't exist!)

-Phoenix
(Was I wrong?)

-Phoenix
(Have I been wrong about this
whole incident?)

-Maya
What are you doing, Nick!?

-Maya
Why aren't you raising an
objection!?

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
I'm sorry, Maya.

-Maya
What?

-Phoenix
I... It looks like
I was wrong.

-Maya
Nick...?

-Phoenix
If the second bullet wasn't
tehre, then all my conjectures
are for nothing!

-Maya
N-no...

-Maya
But you said you'd do it,
Nick! You said you'd get
Edgeworth declared innocent!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
I'm sorry...

-Phoenix
It's just, when I saw the
photograph, I thought that
two shots had been fired.

-Phoenix
I was so certain of it.
I thought I'd won!

-Phoenix
I thought there was another
person, someone else who
fired the killing shot.

-Phoenix
But now...

-Phoenix
I was wrong to think it
could be that simple.

-Phoenix
This case has stood unsolved
for fifteen years!

-Maya
Nick...

-Judge
Well, it seems that we have
finally cleared up this
incident.

-Judge
Only one bullet was found
at the scene of the crime.

-Judge
That shot was fired by
Miles Edgeworth.

-Karma
Precisely.

-Judge
I would like to ask one
thing of Miles Edgeworth
before passing my verdict.

-Judge
Have you been paying attention
to the trial so far?

-Edgeworth
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
Do you have any objections?

-Edgeworth
No... No, I do not.

-Judge
So you killed your father,
though that was not your
intention?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Yes, I did.

-Maya
..

-Maya
Oh no...

-Maya
He's confessing...

-Maya
..

-Judge
Very well.

-Judge
The statute of limitations on
the murder of Gregory
Edgeworth runs out today.

-Judge
Therefore, I must pronounce
a verdict on the defendant
today, right here...

-Karma
Right now!

-Judge
Indeed.

-Judge
Does anyone have any
objections?

-Phoenix
(I've been here before...)

-Phoenix
(It's just like my first
day in court...)

-Phoenix
(There are so many things
I know I should be saying...)

-Phoenix
(But my mind's gone blank,
I can't find the words...)

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

Oof!

It seems waiting is not

-Phoenix
Wait, Your Honor!

-Judge
Hmm?

-Phoenix
I, uh...

-Phoenix
Th-the second bullet!
It, uh, it exists!

-Judge
What!?

-Judge
But we've just heard proof
that it did not exist!

-Phoenix
I-I realize that, Your Honor.

-Phoenix
(I'm really grasping here!)

-Phoenix
I-it's just, someone took it
from the scene of the crime!
That's what happened!

-Judge
But...
Who!?

-Phoenix
Th-th-the murderer!

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
The murderer? Then tell us,
just who is this "murderer"?

-Phoenix
I'm... still thinking about
that one.

-Judge
Hmm...

-Judge
So the criminal took the
second bullet? Why would he?

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Judge
First of all, how would
he have found it?

-Judge
It's not easy to find a
stray bullet, Mr. Wright!

-Judge
Was there some pressing
need for the murderer to
search for that bullet?

***The murderer had to find it**************
*
* -Phoenix
* O-of course there was a need.
* That's why he took it!
*
* -Karma
* Bah!

(Why would the murderer have
spent the time to look for
that stray bullet...?)

-Phoenix
(I haven't got a clue!)

-Judge
What's wrong, Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Uh... Um...

-Karma
Bah! The murderer had no
reason to take that bullet!

-Karma
You don't want to admit
it, but it's true!

-Phoenix
Urk...

..had to take it...

-Phoenix
(Had to take it...?
The murderer? What does
that mean?)

..you're thinking
too normal...think
crazy...

..don't think why
the bullet was taken...

..think why the
bullet HAD to be
taken...

-Judge
Mr. Wright?

-Phoenix
Y-yes, Your Honor!
(I have no idea what I'm
doing...)

-Phoenix
U-uh, well, the murderer had
no intention of taking the
bullet from the scene.

-Phoenix
But... uh, the murderer HAD
to take that bullet.

-Judge
"Had to," Mr. Wright?
What do you mean?

-Phoenix
Well, for instance...

-Phoenix
(For instance WHAT!?)

-Phoenix
Uh, maybe the bullet, uh...
hit the murderer?

-Judge
The bullet... hit the
murderer?

-Phoenix
J-just saying, for instance.

-Phoenix
I mean, if it hit you, you
would have to take it with
you, wouldn't you?

-Phoenix
It's not like you could
perform surgery right there.

-Phoenix
Y-y'know?

-Judge
..

-Karma
..

..

-Phoenix
(Wait a second...)

-Phoenix
(I was just talking off the
top of my head, but what if
that's really what happened?)

-Judge
Let me get this straight.

-Judge
So at the time of the murder,
the murderer himself was shot?

-Judge
And he left with the second
bullet still inside!?

-Judge
Thus leaving only one bullet
at the scene of the crime?

-Phoenix
Uh, yes... I guess that's
how it would work, yes.

-Judge
But there's a problem with
that!

-Judge
The other two people rescued
from that elevator...

-Judge
Miles Edgeworth and Yanni
Yogi were both unharmed!

-Judge
So that would mean...

-Phoenix
The murderer came from
outside, yes.

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

The two men fight inside
the elevator.

Trying to stop them, the
boy pickes up the pistol
at his feet and throws it.

The pistol discharges,
and the bullet...

The bullet goes through
the elevator door and
hits the murderer outside!

The boy loses consciousness...

Then the murderer opens the
elevator door and sees the
men inside...

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

-Judge
Hmm.

-Judge
Mr. Wright. You are truly the
most unpredictable defense
attorney I've ever known.

-Judge
I can tell you're grasping,
yet I cannot deny the
possibility of what you say.

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
What are you saying!
Deny it! Deny it!

-Karma
No one involved with the
incident was wounded!

-Karma
There was no "murderer"!

-Judge
Hmm...

-Phoenix
(No one was wounded at the
time of the incident...)

-Phoenix
(He's right. I can't think
of anyone...)

-Maya
Hey, Nick.

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Maya
I just thought of something
really crazy.

-Phoenix
Crazy?

-Maya
Remember what Mr. Grossberg
said yesterday?

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

-Grossberg
Gregory Edgeworth dealt a blow
to his perfect trial record.

-Maya
Wow.

-Grossberg
It must have been quite
a shock for von Karma.

-Grossberg
He took a vacation for
several months after that,
you see.

-Grossberg
Yes, an unusual event
for the man.

-Grossberg
That was the first, and the
last vacation he's taken in
his many years of prosecuting.

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

-Maya
What if von Karma didn't
take that vacation because
of shock...

-Phoenix
But took it because he
was injured!

-Maya
Which would mean...

-Phoenix
It could only mean one thing!

-Maya
He was the murderer in
the DL-6 Incident!

-Phoenix
He was the man who shot
Gregory Edgeworth!

-Maya
It was... von Karma!

-Phoenix
(Oh man!)

-Judge
Something wrong, Mr. Wright?
You seem... dazed.

-Phoenix
Uh, n-no, Your Honor.

-Judge
Well?

-Judge
You have indicated the
possibility that the
murderer came from outside.

-Judge
Can you give us the
name of your suspect?

Bah.

You... don't object?

Hmph.

I see no need.
Why honor this ridiculous
outburst with my objection?

-Phoenix
Because you took a vacation
for several months starting
the day after the incident!

-Phoenix
Yet you pride yourself
on a perfect record!

-Phoenix
Why would you take such a
long vacation without any
reason!?

-Karma
So you're claiming that I
took a vacation to heal my
"injury" from the incident?

-Karma
Fascinating!

-Karma
Prove it.

-Karma
I would have needed surgery,
no? Where did I go under the
knife at, Mr. Wright?

-Karma
Bring the doctor that
operated on me! Have
him testify!

Urk...

-Maya
Nick!

-Maya
Let's find out who this
doctor is!

-Edgeworth
It's no use.

-Phoenix
E-Edgeworth!?

-Edgeworth
I know von Karma.
Perhaps too well.

-Edgeworth
He's perfect.
He wouldn't leave clues.

-Edgeworth
He probably didn't undergo
surgery.

-Edgeworth
That would leave a doctor
as a witness.

-Phoenix
(Grr... Nobody's that
perfect!)

-Maya
So... so what, Nick?

-Maya
Did von Karma pull the
bullet out by himself!?

-Maya
That's insane!

-Phoenix
No... he couldn't have.

-Phoenix
You can't just pull bullets
out of yourself!

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
(Wait...)

-Phoenix
(What does that mean...?)

-Phoenix
(That bullet has to be
somewhere! But... where?)

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...
Well, Mr. Wright!

Can you produce evidence to
prove that I was shot?

von Karma is perfect...

So then, I ask, where

I think it unlikely that
von Karma performed surgery
on himself!

-Judge
..!

-Judge
You... you don't mean!

-Phoenix
I do.

-Phoenix
There is a possibility that
the bullet is still inside
von Karma!

I-is that even possible?
For all these years!?

-Phoenix
Well, there's one way
to find out.

We could use this
metal detector!

Well, von Karma?

I'm going to run this over
you, and see what we find.

-Karma
*OBJECTION!*

-Karma
I... refuse!

Y-you refuse...!?

But, refusing this means...

You acknowledge that the

Your Honor! The defense
requests that we be allowed

You!

I was afraid this would

And so, I remained silent.

..?

-Karma
Indeed, there is a bullet
in my shoulder.

-Karma
However... it has nothing
to do with this incident!

-Phoenix
What!?

-Karma
I was shot in the shoulder
long before the DL-6 Incident!

-Karma
I claim that the bullet in
my shoulder has no relation
to DL-6!

-Judge
B-but, Mr. von Karma!
Can you prove that?

-Karma
"Prove"?

-Karma
I have no obligation to
prove anything!

-Karma
It is you who must prove
something here, Mr. Wright!

-Karma
Not I.

-Judge
M-Mr. Wright?

-Judge
Well? Can you prove it?

-Judge
Can you prove that the
bullet in von Karma's
shoulder was from DL-6?

-Karma
Of course he can't!

-Karma
You don't have any of
the DL-6 evidence!

-Phoenix
(That's because you took
it out of the Records Room
yesterday!)

-Karma
With no proof, you cannot
convict me of any crime!

So sorry, Mr. Wright.

-Phoenix
No... I'm the one who's
sorry, Mr. von Karma.

Wh-what!?

-Phoenix
You were close... one day
away from freedom.

-Phoenix
You see... I have proof!

-Karma
Wh-what!?

Who would have thought you
would have dug your own grave
trying to convict Edgeworth!

-Phoenix
I can link that bullet in
your shoulder to the DL-6
Incident...

-Phoenix
And here's my final proof!

***Present something wrong******************

* -Phoenix
* *TAKE THAT!*
*
* -Maya
* N-Nick...?
*
* -Maya
* Umm... If this is your final
* proof, don't you think you
* should choose a little better?
*
* -Phoenix
* Huh? You mean, that was the

*
* -Phoenix

*
* -Judge
* Mr. Wright.
*
* -Judge

*
* -Phoenix
* (Uh oh, he's really mad.)
*
* -Maya
* I think you'd better dig

* -Phoenix
* You got lucky, von Karma,

*
* RETURN TO QUESTION

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

-Phoenix
*TAKE THAT!*

-Judge
Th-that's...

-Judge
A bullet?

-Karma
Where did you get that!?

-Phoenix
This is the bullet used
in the DL-6 Incident.

-Phoenix
This was taken from the heart
of the victim, Mr. Gregory
Edgeworth.

-Phoenix
The bullet is preserved quite
nicely, with all the ballistic
markings intact.

-Edgeworth
Ballistic markings...

-Phoenix
You may recall the term.

-Phoenix
It came up in the first trial,
two days ago.

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

-Judge
Ballistic markings are the
fingerprints of a weapon.

-Judge
All bullets fired from a gun
are marked with that weapon's
unique pattern.

-Judge
By examining the markings,
you can tell which weapon
fired the bullet.

-Judge
It's quite accurate.

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

-Phoenix
We have two bullets
in our possession.

-Phoenix
One, the bullet removed
from Gregory Edgeworth's
heart.

-Phoenix
The other, Mr. von Karma,
is the bullet buried in
your shoulder.

-Phoenix
We could analyze both
bullets...

-Phoenix
Then, if the markings
matched...

-Phoenix
We would know that both
bullets had been fired
from the same gun!

-Phoenx
The very same pistol... in
other words, the murder weapon
that killed Gregory Edgeworth!

-Karma
Mmmph... mmmph!

-Phoenix
Mr. von Karma?

-Phoenix
You will let us remove
the bullet from your
shoulder.

-Phoenix
Then we'll compare the
ballistic markings to those
on this bullet...

-Phoenix
And solve this case once
and for all!

-Phoenix
Well, Mr. von Karma!?

-Karma
Mmmrrrrrrgggh!

-Karma
Uuaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

-Karma
Uaaaaarrrr... aaa... oooh.
Worrrrrrrggg... aaa... oooooh...

-Edgeworth
That scream...

-Edgeworth
I've heard that scream
before...

-Edgeworth
Wait... I know!

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

"H-help! I can't breathe!"

"Quiet! I said quiet!
You're not making this
any easier!"

"Stop breathing my air!
I'll... I'll stop you!"

"Stop breathing my aaaaair!"

(Get away...!)

(Get away from my father!)

*BANG*

Uuaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

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

-Edgeworth
It's that scream I heard
in the elevator!

-Edgeworth
Fifteen years ago...

-Edgeworth
von Karma!
It was you who screamed!

-Judge
Mr. von Karma?

-Karma
Wooorrrrrrroooorgggh.

-Karma
Eh...Edgewoooooorrth.........
..Ehh...Edgewoooooorrth......

-Karma
Only...you would...
dare...defy me...!

-Edgeworth
So... it was you!

-Karma
You and your father
are my curse!

-Karma
Your father shamed me with
a penalty on my record!

-Karma
And you... you left a scar
on my shoulder that would
never fade!

-Karma
I... I'll bury you!
I'll bury you with my bare
hands! Death! Death!

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

Fifteen years earlier...

-Karma
Mr. Chief Prosecutor...
I am sorry.

von Karma! It's not like
you to make this kind of
error...

I never would have thought
that Edgeworth would be the
one to catch you.

-Karma
I... was careless.

I'm sorry, but you will
have to be penalized.

I've covered for you in
the past, but not this
time.

-Karma
..!

-Karma
Edgeworth!!!

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

It was a shock like
none I had ever known.

Me? Penalized!?

It took hours for me to
regain my composure.

Suddenly, I found myself
in the darkness...

I was in the court
records room.

I must have wandered in there
without thinking where I was
going.

The room was pitch black.
The lights must have gone out.

I went out in the hall and
felt my way to the elevator.

I pressed the button,
and nothing happened.

Then... there was a noise!

I was in pain!
A horrible, burning pain
in my shoulder!

Just then, the lights came
back on. The elevator door
opened before my eyes.

I saw three people inside,
all lying unconscious from
oxygen deprivation.

Much to my surprise, a pistol
lay at my feet.

I knew then...
it was destiny.

In his last moments,
Gregory Edgeworth was
still unconscious.

He died, never knowing
who had shot him.

Later, he spoke through a
medium, blaming Mr. Yogi.

He was fooled!
It was the perfect crime!

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

-Karma
Tsk tsk tsk...

-Karma
Who would have thought another
man would have come to open
that elevator door?

-Karma
Judge!

-Judge
Wh-what?

-Karma
What are you doing!?

-Karma
Do you job! Bring an end
to this miserable charade!

-Karma
Now! End it!

-Judge
V-very well.

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

-Judge
It appears that we have come
a very long way to the end
of this maze.

-Judge
Fifteen years later...

-Judge
Mr. Miles Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
You were innocent.
You are innocent.

-Edgeworth
..

-Judge
As you said, it was
all a "nightmare."

-Edgeworth
Yes, Your Honor.

-Judge
This court finds the
defendant, Mr. Miles
Edgeworth...

* N O T   G U I L T Y *

-Judge
That is all.
The court is adjourned!

Defendant Lobby No. 2

-Maya
Nick! Nick! We did it!

-Maya
Did you see his face!?
von Karma looked even paler
than usual!

-Maya
He's pretending to be all
cool, but inside you crushed
him, Nick! Crushed!

-Maya
I gotta say, I'm impressed.

-Phoenix</pre><pre id="faqspan-24">
Heh... It was pretty close,
though.

-Phoenix
I was sure we'd had it.

-Maya
I know, I was on the
verge of tears the
whole time, myself.

-Maya
But now it's all just
a good memory!

-Edgeworth
..

-Phoenix
So, it's finally over,
Edgeworth.

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Wright.

-Phoenix
Yeah?

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
I...
I'm not sure how to say this.

-Maya
I know! I know!
Try "thank you."

-Edgeworth
I... I see.

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
Th-thank you, Wright.

-Phoenix
Y-you're welcome.

-Maya
I think you could have
done better than that!

-Edgeworth
Oof! S-sorry...
I'm not good at
this sort of thing.

-Maya
You got a lot to learn,
Edgeworth!

-Phoenix
(Dear, dear...)

-Gumshoe
Whoooooooooooooop!

-Gumshoe
Amazing, pal! You pulled
through just like I thought
you would!

-Gumshoe
I'll never forget this!
I owe you one, pal.

-Gumshoe
And tonight, let's party!
Dinner's on me!

-Gumshoe
Yeah, my salary went down
a bit this month...

-Gumshoe
But who cares!

-Maya
See, Mr. Edgeworth?
You should take a lesson
from Detective Gumshoe!

-Maya
That's how you say
"thank you"!

-Edgeworth
Mmm.
I... I see.

-Edgeworth
*ahem*

-Edgeworth
Whooooooooooooop!

-Edgeworth
..

-Edgeworth
I... I feel foolish.

-Maya
Don't worry. Take it
a little at a time.
You'll get used to it.

-Phoenix
(It's been fifteen years
since I've seen Edgeworth
this... unguarded.)

-Lotta
Hey, y'all!

-Maya
Lotta!

-Lotta
Y'all were great in there!

-Phoenix
Thank you!

-Lotta
Yo, Edgeworth!
Congrats!

-Edgeworth
Er... thank y'all very much.

-Lotta
I knew you were innocent
from the start, of course.

-Lotta
Just look at you! You wouldn't
stick your hand in the cookie
jar even if no one was there!

-Edgeworth
You... were the witness
on the first day of the
trial, weren't you.

-Lotta
Yeah, well, let bygones
be bygones, eh?

-Phoenix
Speaking of which, what
are you doing now, Lotta?

-Lotta
Who, me? Aww, I went
back to college.

-Lotta
I gave up trying to be
an investigative photographer
pretty quick.

-Phoenix
Really? That's too bad.

-Lotta
Huh?

-Phoenix
?

-Lotta
Isn't that the hotdog
guy from the park?

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Butz
It's over, Nick!
My life is over!

-Phoenix
Wh-why the sad face,
Larry!? What happened
now!?

-Butz
Oh, Nick...
I'm not long for this world.

-Phoenix
Uh... you don't look sick...

-Butz
It's Kiyance! Sh-she's goin'
to live in Paris! Paris, Nick!

-Butz
She's leaving me behind!!!

-Phoenix
(Larry, Larry...)

-Butz
Yo, Edgey! There you are!

-Edgeworth
Um, yes, here I am.

-Butz
Congrats, Edgey!
Here... a little gift from
me in celebration!

-Edgeworth
Celebration? That's unusual
for you.

-Gumshoe
Harry Butz! You come along
tonight too! My treat, pal!

-Butz
Huh? Uh... thanks!
Looking forward to it!

Butz
(Yo, yo, Nick!)

-Butz
(That's the suit that
questioned me!)

-Butz
(When he says treat... that's
not police-talk for prison
food, right? Right?)

-Phoenix
Uh, I think you'll
be fine, Larry.

-Edgeworth
Wright...

-Phoenix
Yeah? What's up?

-Edgeworth
That envelope that Larry
gave me. It's got money
in it.

-Phoenix
Well, yeah. That's not that
strange. People give money
away to celebrate sometimes.

-Edgeworth
It's $38.00, Wright.

-Phoenix
Huh. What a weird amount.
I mean, it's not a little,
but it's not a lot either.

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
$38.00 exactly?

-Maya
N-N-Nick!

-Maya
Wasn't that exactly the amount
of lunch money that was stolen
from Mr. Edgeworth in school!?

-Phoenix
$38...!

-Phoenix
No...

-Phoenix
No!!!
Larry, it was you!!!

-Edgeworth
What are you so surprised
about, Wright?

-Phoenix
Huh?

-Edgeworth
Larry was absent that day
from school, right?

-Edgeworth
But that doesn't automatically
rule him out as a suspect.

-Phoenix
What?

-Edgeworth
Think back to that day,
fifteen years ago.

-Edgeworth
Larry took the day off, but
he was bored, he came in to
school anyway.

-Edgeworth
Then he saw the money
lying there... and the
rest is history.

-Butz
I never was good at History!
Heh...

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
Edgeworth... you didn't
know, did you?

-Edgeworth
I suspected.

-Edgeworth
I just couldn't picture Larry
protecting you like he did
that day.

-Edgeworth
Everyone else was saying
you did it. The whole class
was against you, remember?

-Phoenix
Yeah... too well.

-Edgeworth
Wright, you may not know this,
but we used to have a saying
back in school.

-Edgeworth
"When something smells,
it's usually the Butz."

-Phoenix
I know, I know.

-Edgeworth
Really, Wright. I'm surprised
you didn't figure it out!

-Butz
Well, this is sure an
unexpected turn of
events, eh?

-Phoenix
Edgeworth...

-Edgeworth
Hmm?

-Phoenix
You should have told me!

-Maya
Now, now, Nick. It was
fifteen years ago!

-Maya
Don't you think the "statute
of limitations" has run out,
Mr. Edgeworth?

-Edgeworth
I'd say so, yes.

-Butz
There you have it!

-Phoenix
Grr...

-Phoenix
Where does that leave me!?
I became a defense attorney
because of what you two did!

-Edgeworth
Well, I'd call you a
goody-two-shoes to the
extreme.

-Butz
Yeah! And you get worked up
too easily, too!

-Phoenix
D-death! The death sentence
for both of you!

-Phoenix
Man, if I only had known, I'd
have become a prosecutor!

-Edgeworh
The same goes for me, only
the other way around...

-Edgeworth
For the longest time,
I thought that I might
have killed my own father.

-Edgeworth
I thought I might be
a criminal.

-Edgeworth
I became a prosecutor in
part to punish myself.

-Edgeworth
If I had known the truth,
I might have become a
defense attorney after all.

-Phoenix
Edgeworth...

-Edgeworth
Want to switch, Wright?

-Lotta
Hey, y'all!
Line up, I'll take a photo!

-Maya
Hey, photo time!
Let's go!

-Gumshoe
And after that, dinner on me!

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

-Phoenix
Detective Gumshoe took us
out on the town that night.

-Phoenix
We celebrated Edgeworth's
new found freedom.

-Phoenix
Although, Edgeworth
was still in detention.

Wright & Co. Law Offices

-Phoenix
Whoa... I went a little
overboard yesterday.

-Phoenix
My head hurts...

-Phoenix
Huh? It's still only 5:00.
Maybe I should go back to
sleep...

-Phoenix
Hmm?

-Phoenix
(What's this? A letter?)

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

-Maya
Good morning, Nick.

-Maya
You were really impressive
yesterday.

-Maya
Seeing you...

-Maya
It made me think about
what I'm doing here.

-Maya
I'm a spirit medium...
in training, of course.

-Maya
I wanted to help
Mr. Edgeworth too.

-Maya
I wanted to help you.

-Maya
But I couldn't.
I was useless.

-Maya
So, I've decided to go
back to my training.

-Maya
I'll become a full-fledged
spirit medium, for starters.

-Maya
I couldn't say it to your
face, so I left this letter.

-Maya
Goodbye, Nick.

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

-Phoenix
(G-goodbye!?)
What time is it?

-Phoenix
Gah! The first trains for
the mountains have already
left! To the station!

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

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
I guess I'm too late...

-Phoenix
..

-Maya
Hey!

-Maya
N-Nick!

-Phoenix
Maya!

-Maya
..

-Phoenix
..

-Maya
..

-Phoenix
So... you're leaving?

-Maya
Yeah.

-Maya
It's hard being a spirit
medium who can't talk to
spirits.

-Maya
And...

-Maya
I think you'll do fine
without me, Nick.

-Maya
Be good... okay!

-Phoenix
*HOLD IT!*

-Phoenix
W-wait!

-Maya
What?

-Phoenix
..

-Phoenix
I never could have saved
Edgeworth without your
help.

-Maya
Huh?

-Phoenix
On the last day of the
trial... I heard her.
I heard Mia's voice!

-Maya
You heard my sister...?

-Phoenix
Yes... only her voice,
but still...

-Phoenix
It was at the very end
when I thought we'd
lost everything.

-Maya
Well, that's my sister
for you.

-Maya
Detective Gumshoe helped,
and Mr. Grossberg, and
even Larry...

-Maya
I'm the only one who couldn't
help. I was useless, Nick.

-Phoenix
But you were the one who
stopped von Karma, Maya!

-Maya
Huh?

-Maya
I-I didn't do anything!

-Maya
All I did was wander
around in a daze...

-Phoenix
Sorry, but I have evidence
that you helped!

-Maya
E-evidence?

-Phoenix
(Show Maya some evidence
to cheer her up!)

Now a new story begins...

With the same old crazy

'rise from the ashes'

it's been two months since Maya left the office... Two months without a single
trial. I've had offers... But none I took. That is... until the day that girl
showed up.

Phoenix: Um, yes, that's correct. (It wasn't Edgeworth who was murdered,
though...)
???: That's a relief then! You're better than nobody!
Phoenix: I'm sorry... I'm afraid I'm not taking cases right now.
???: But, you are Phoenix Wright, right?
???: The undefeated defense attorney?
Phoenix: Look, I'm not accepting any new cases.
Phoenix: I'm sorry, but you'll have to try elsewhere.

Phoenix: But...

they're planning a second branch outside the city. Egads! The bellboy waws
staring right at me.

Plant
Phoenix: Mia's plant, "Charley." I've been taking care of him in Maya's
absence.

Poster
Phoenix: There's a poster of the Steel Samurai on the wall. Maya stuck it up
here on the day she left. I didn't have the heart to take it down.
Ema (smiles): ...
Phoenix: I do sometimes get strange looks from the clients, though.

Bookcase
Phoenix: Difficult-looking legal books stands in a formidable row. They mock
me. I tried reading one, and it made my head hurt. When I closed it, it slipped
out of my hand. Then my foot hurt too.

Desk
Phoenix: Mia's desk. I sit here even less now that I've stopped taking cases.
I ought to at least dust it off once in a while.

TALK:

Ema
Phoenix: Ema, was it? So you're a "scientific investigator"?
Ema: Yes! That's right! Is... something wrong?
Phoenix: No, it's just, you seem kind of, er, jumpy. Or maybe just... young?
Ema: Young?
Ema: I'll be sixteen years old this year!
Phoenix: Oh, I see... Wait! Only sixteen!?
Ema: I'm set to be formally assigned to Forensics in three more years.
Ema: My work is becoming quite well known... at my age, no less!
Phoenix: Um, so what exactly is your current position, then?
Ema: Well, legally speaking...
Ema: I guess you'd call me an "eleventh grader".
Ema: But I'm ready to do my job! At my age, no less!
Phoenix: (Great, another future professional in training...)

The Case
Phoenix: So what's this about a case? You siad the trial's tomorrow?
Ema: My sister didn't do it! She wouldn't stab someone with a knife! She
wouldn't!
Phoenix: So... it's a murder case.
Ema: I don't care if there's a witness who saw her do it! She didn't do it!
Ema: I know she didn't do it! It's a scientific fact!
Phoenix: And... here's a witness.
Ema: J- Just talk to her! You have to talk to her!
Phoenix: Right... I suppose I will.
Ema: I promised her I'd bring Mia Fey, but...
Phoenix: (That's interesting...)
Phoenix: How would she know Mia?)

Sci.Investigator
Phoenix: So, you want to be a scientic investigator when you grow up, then?
Ema: E-excuse me?
Ema: I'm not a child, I'll have you know!
Phoenix: Still, it's good to have a goal. Albeit a very unusual one.
Ema: I believe investigations should be done scientifically!
Ema: Don't you?
Phoenix: Uh, yeah. (Sure can't fault her for a lack of enthusiasm.)
Ema: If this case is handled scientifically, I'm sure my sister's name will be
cleared!
Phoenix: Your sister?...
Ema: I've been doing research, you know!
Ema: I'm developing a new scientific method of case investigation!
Ema: I'll show you when I'm done!
Phoenix: I'm looking forward to it.
Phoenix: (Guess I should get down to the detention center and talk to her
sister.)

Relation to Mia
Ema: My sister asked for her specifically.
Ema: Mia Fey... was a few years below her in school.
Phoenix: (So she went to the same school as Mia.)
Ema: She always told me to go to Mia if I ever needed a defense attorney...
Ema: And, well... I need one.
Phoenix: Um, incidentally, Mia is a woman.
Ema: Mia... Yeah, I thought it was a little weird when I saw you, too.
Phoenix: Well, it's nice of you to help your sister out like this. You must be
close.
Ema: ...
Phoenix: ?
Ema: Well...
Ema: Actually, when she gets like she is now, I kind of hate her.
Phoenix: (huh?)
Ema: But... But she's my only family.
Phoenix: Your only family? What about your parents?
Ema: They died in a car accident when I was little.
Phoenix: Oh... I'm sorry

PRESENT

Attorney's Badge
Phoenix: See this? It's my Attorney Badge.
Ema: Ahh! Well! I've never seen a real one before.
Phoenix: (You're the first one who's actually been interested in mine, believe
me.)
Ema: Its composition is mostly silver. the gold plating is flaking a bit.
Phoenix: (She analyzed it. Scientifically...)
Ema: There doesn't appear to be any corrosion due to sulfides I'd give you $50
for it.
Phoenix: Sorry, but it's not for sale. Yet...

Guard: S-s-s-sorry, ma'am! It's j-j-j-just, your sister...
???: No excuse!

Guard: U-u-u-understood, ma'am!

*A woman who looks just like Mia, but wearing proscutor oufit appears*
Ema: H-hi, Lana.
???: Funny.
???: I seem to remember specifically telling you NOT to come here.
???: Perhaps my memory is failing?
Ema: L-look...
Ema: I didn't want to come here either, okay?
Ema: But your trial's tomorrow and you still don't have a defense attorney!
???: I'll be the one in court tomorrow. This has nothing to do with you, Ema.
???: Isn't that right, Mr. Wright?
Phoenix: Hey! How do you know me?
???: Mia mentioned you. I've heard... Quite a bit.
Phoenix: Er, I'm sorry. What exactly is it that you do...?
???: My name is Lana, Lana Skye.
Lana: I'm the Chief Prosecutor for this district.
Phoenix: Y-you're a prosecutor!?
Phoenix: (Two sisters... one a lawyer. Could this be a coincidence?)

The Case
Lana: There's something you should know from the start.
Phoenix: W-which is?
Lana: The suspect in this case has confessed to the crime.
Phoenix: Huh?
Ema: W-wait! But the suspect... The suspect is...!
Lana: Me. I did it. Well. Mr Wright?
Phoenix: Well... Why don't you begin by telling me exactly what happened.
Lana: The crime took place yesterday, February 21, at 5:51PM.
Phoenix: That's quite specific.
Lana: It was in the witness's deposition.
Lana: A witness clearly saw me commiting the crime.
Phoenix: Uh... My, that was a bit of bad luck, wasn't it?
Lana: The crime took place in the underground parking lot at the Prosecutor's
Office.
Lana: The body was found in the trunk of my subordinate's car.
Phoenix: The Prosecutor's Office, huh? (In your subordinate's car trunk?
Classy...)
Lana: I was arrested on the spot. Caught red-handed, as it were.
Phoenix: (My, my...)

The Victim
Phoenix: So, who was the victim?
Lana: An investigator with the Police Department.
Lana: I suppose the correct term is "Detective."
Ema: A detective...?
Lana: Death was due to a loss of blood. He was stabbed once in the stomach.
Phoenix: By... you?
Lana: Death wasn't immediate, but the wound was fatal.
Phoenix: I see...
Lana: Allow me to repeat myself, Mr. Wright. The victim was a detective.
Lana: You know what that means, don't you?
Phoenix: Uh oh!
Ema: What? Mr. Wright? What does it mean?
Phoenix: Well, it means...
Lana: The police department will consider it a matter of pride to have me found
guilty.
Lana: They will use any means at their diposal to do so.
Phoenix: (This case gets worse and worse with everything I learn.)

Lana
Phoenix: So, you're the Chief Prosecutor?
Lana: that is correct.
Lana: I'm responsible for overseeing every trial handled by prosecutors in this
district.
Lana: I make sure the prosecutors have what they need to do the job, and manage
every aspect.
Lana: Those are my responsibilities in a nutshell.
Phoenix: (That's an awfully large nutshell.)
Lana: Still, I'm a little surprised.
Lana: I would think you'd recognize the district's Chief Prosecutor, Mr.
Wright.
Phoenix: Huh?
Lana: In fact, it seems impossible you wouldn't...
Ema: Um.... Lana? What happened to your hand?
Lana: Oh, this?
Lana: I cut myself by accident. When I stabbed him, that is.
Ema: Huh?
Lana: I'm not very good at  being a criminal, I suppose.
Phoenix: (How am I susppose to defend this!?)
Phoenix: (Time to change the subject...)
Phoenix: (Wait, she ws in the class ahead of Mia, wasn't she...?

Relation to Mia
Phoenix: Um, you were in school with Mia, correct?
Phoenix: A few years above her?
Lana: ... Ema told you that, too, did she?
Ema: W-well, why not? I did drag him all the way here from his office!
Lana: Although it seems he has very little in common with Mia...
Phoenix: (Hey!)
Lana: It was in law school. I was in my third year, and she was auditing the
class.
Lana: She was different than the other students.
Phoenix: Different?
Lana: She was strong... She'd do anything to become a defence attorney.
Anything.
Lana: That... was probably why she was attracted to me.
Phoenix: E-excuse me!?
Ema: Intellectually attracted! Lana was top of her class in school.
Lana: I was the best there was.
Phoenix: Oh...
Ema: I'm doing pretty good in school too, by the way!
Phoenix: (It sounds a bit different when Ema says it...)
Lana: Well, Mr Wright?
Phoenix: E-excuse me?
Lana: As you can plainly see, I am admitting my guilt.
Lana: I think it's safe to say... there's no way you can take this case. None.
Ema: B-but, Lana!
Lana: ...
Ema: You ... you were always this way, weren't you?
Ema: You never think of anyone but yourself.
Lana: ...!
Ema: I know you didn't do it, Lana. I know!
Ema: So... So how can you say you did!?
Lana:...
Ema: If I lose you...
Ema: I'll be all alone!
Ema: I... I hate you, Lana.
Lana:...
Lana: Mr Wright.
Phoenix: Y-yes?
Lana: I believe our discussion here is ended.
Lana: The rest... I leave to you.
Phoenix: ...!
Phoenix: Um... You mean, you're requesting my services as your defense?
Lana: Don't lose any sleep over it.. Your clkient has confessed, after all.
This case is over.
Phoenix: Right... I'll do what I can to get to the bottom of this.
Lana: ...
Phoenix: (Lana has confessed to the crime, yes...)
Phoenix: (But something doesn't fit.)
Phoenix: (It's that look in Ema's eyes.)
Phoenix: (There's something else going on here... and I'm going to find out
what!)

Ema: I'm sorry, Mr Wright.
Phoenix: Huh? About what?
Ema: My sister... she's not alwyas like this you know.
Phoenix:...
Phoenix: I just never expected to be defending another prosecutor again.
Ema: She's changed a lot.
Ema: She used to be so gentle, always smiling. Everybody liked her.
Phoenix: I see... (Sorry, but I'm having trouble imaginning that.)
Phoenix: What happened to her?
Ema: I don't know for certain myself...
Ema: I think maybe she.... Well, maybe not.
Phoenix: (sounds like there's something there that defies a simple scientific
explanation.)
Phoenix: Lets go check out this underground parking at the Prosecutor's Office,

Ema: O- Okay!

Ema: Hey everyone! Keep up the good work!
Phoenix: H-hey! What are you thinking?
Ema: Well, they are going to be my coworkers three years from now and all.
Ema: No harm in saying hello...
Phoenix: Actually, there is. You know attorneys aren't suppose to examine crime

Phoenix: I'm trying to not stand out too much, here, see?

Ema: Strike...?

Step ladder
Ema: Ah huh! A ladder.
Phoenix: Um... That's a step ladder.
Ema: What's the difference? In scientific terms, please.
Phoenix: S-scientific huh?
Ema: Look at the basic nature of things, Mr. Wright.
Phoenix: ( This is all seems so horribly familiar somehow...)

Door
Ema: Look! A door! This must mean something!
Phoenix: I'm not sure that doors "mean" anything.
Ema: No! It won't open! a mysterious lock!
Phoenix: I fail to see what's mysterious about it.
Ema: Mr. Wright... You need to learn to enjoy life more.
Phoenix: Lets finish our investigation first, shall we?

Entrace
Ema: This is where the cars leave the lot.
Phoenix: The arrow on the ground makes it look more like an entrance.
Ema: What are you talking about? It's plainly an exit!
Phoenix: Well, maybe it's both. Kind of a dual purpose?
Ema: Ah huh! The theory of relativity!
Phoenix: What? Uh...
Ema: I've got to write this down. Ah! Hey, hey, Mr. Wright!
Ema: Maybe you know... Was Mr. Relativity, German? Or was he British?
Phoenix: Mr. Relativity? Are you sure that was his name?

Security Room on Floor Above
Ema: Look! A stylish, glass-walled room! Very nice.
Phoenix: You could see the whole parking lot from in there.
Ema: It says "SECURITY." Perhaps it's a cafe?
Phoenix: Huh?
Ema: "Cafe Security"... Yeah, that must be it. Lets check it out later!
Phoenix: Um. I hate to break it to you, but I think that's probablky just a
security guard office.
Ema: ...
Ema: You know, I scored a 97 on my science test the other day!
Phoenix: (Too bad they don't have a test for common sense...)

Telephone on the Wall
Ema: Here, a phone. Lets see if it works...
Phoenix: Hey. Don't touch stuff we don't need to be touching.
Ema: ... I can't hear anything!
Ema: My ears! No, my ears! Maybe it's due to the barometric pressure...
Phoenix: (What is she babbling about?)
Ema: Hey!? What did you just say?
Phoenix: See, You can hear just fine. The phone's broken!

Section Partition
Ema: The wall is in our way.
Phoenix: It's got a faucet for water.
Ema: Wait! I know!
Ema: This "wall" is merely a facade, hiding the truth...
Ema: This is no wall, but a water tank!!!
Phoenix: (I fail to see how it makes any difference either way...)

Wallet on the Floor
Phoenix: What's this? A wallet?
Phoenix: Um, excuse me! Officer!
Ema: W-w-waaaait! What are you doing? Mr. Wright!?
Phoenix: What am I doing? I just found this wallet, so I'm handing it over to
the police...
Ema: I don't believe it...
Ema: This is real basic: Anything at a crime scene is evidence!
Ema: Let's be scientific about this, please! Just put it in your pocket.
Phoenix: H-how is that scientific? (Sounds like theft to me!)

Wallet hastily sutffed into pocket.

Ema: I'm called to duty already, and at my tender age!
Ema: Here, I'll teach you the trick to examining evidence in detail, okay?
Phoenix: (By the way her eyes are sparkling I can tell she's been waiting for
this...)
Ema: Okay, okay, now. Look at the Court Record!
Ema: You have to be sure to examine evidence carefully on all sides!
Ema: Now. Let's start examining! From every angle!
Ema: Oh look! I think there might be a clue there. You should check it out!
Press the Examine button.
Phoenix: This... This is an ID card.
Phoenix: (detective Bruce Goodman, ID # 5842189)
Ema: See? Well? Isn't scientific investigation useful?
Phoenix: I guess... Though I don't see what "science" has to do with it.

Goodman's ID added to the Court Record.
Ema: Let's be sure to examine every piece of evidence we find!
Phoenix: (I guess I've got to be on my toes from now on...)

Oil Drums
Phoenix: An oil drum. Looks like it's filled with water.
Ema: I-it's heavy! I can't even budge it!
Phoenix: The drum over here is on its side.
Ema: Wait! I know! I'll hide in here and do a stake-out!
Phoenix: I think you'll probably just get arrested.,
Phoenix: (In fact, you mayh not even have to hide in the drum to get arrested.)
Ema: What? I'm not suspicious!

Letter on the Wall
Ema: Well, no time to waste! Let's get hunting for clues!
Ema: Hmm... I wonder what this is?
???: Well, pardner.ooks like you got no intention of going home quietly.
Phoenix: (The sheriff!)
???: Like I said before, this here's our claim.
???: You'd best be moseying along.Unless you're fixing to bite the bullet.
Phoenix: (Gah! Scary!)
Ema: C-could you just tell us one thing...? Who owns that car?
???: Well, well. The little filly's got a good nose on her!
???: You want to know who rides that red mustang with the body in her saddle,

Ema: Please!
???: No problem, pardner. 'Bout time for vittles anyway.

Ema: Note to self: look up vittles, saloon, cervesa.
Phoenix: (Maybe we should check out that roomo 1202... the High Prosecutor's
Office!
???: In any case, stay away from the car.
???: You can look around here all you like just keep your paws off our claim.
Phoenix: (Right... Great.)

Phoenix: Destiny...? Was yesterday speciasl for some reason?
Angel: You're a defense attorney, right? You should know then.'

Ema: E-evil ones?
Angel: Prosecutors! They have no qualms at all about blackening the name of
innocents!
Angel: And yesterdayt they paid homage to the mot evil one of all!
Angel: They gave an award for "king of Prosecutors"... What a farce!
Ema: So, she's saying...
Ema: There was some sort of prosecutor's convention yesterday.
Angel: I was almost compelled to lace their lunches with something fould...
Ema: Do you have  a personal grievance against prosecutors, or something?
Ema: Or is there some kind of scientific evidence of this, um, "evil"?
Angel: Young miss...
Angel: Mock me at your own risk! You'll soon find out why they call me the
"cough-up Queen"!
Ema: Ew!
Angel: The most heinous of all the evil ones, the one they awarded yesterday...

What You Witnessed
Phoenix: So, what exactly was it that you witnessed, Ms.. Starr?
Angel: It was a fascinating spectacle, to be sure!
I now feel I know what they say when they talk about a "woman's wrath".
Angel: To see Lana Skye wield that knife so...
Phoenix: !
Angel: Her knife flashed in anger, bringing him to a sad end.
Angel: It was truly a sight to see.
Ema: Y-you mean you saw the very moment of the crim!?
Angel: The sound of his silvery ties to this world being cruelly cut still
rings in my ears.
Angel: And the rhythmic beat of Lana Skye's knife...
Phoenix: Wait a second! You know Lana Skye?
Angel: Hmph. Of course. It's quite a feat... becoming Chief Prosecutor./
Angel: How many lunchboxes of sin did she pack to make that journey, I wonder!
Ema: She... always travels light.
Phoenix: (Now why would this pretty lunch lady know the Chief Prosecutor's
name?)

Angel
Ema: Um... Could we ask you a bit about yourself, Ms. Starr?
Angel: I come here every day to sell lunches.
Angel: I import only the freshest and best from the Far East.
Angel: For some reason, the box lunches are a hit here.
Ema: Why not make the lunches here rather than import them?
Angel: Did you say something?
Ema: N-no...
Ema(? This is a possible error of the game): Only true conossieurs can
understand...
Angel: The kind you can only tell someone who has tried General Tso's Trilobite
lunch set.
Ema: Ah... Nevermind... You win.
Phoenix: (I don't even want to appreciate part of a trilobite's flavour.)
Angel: Anyway,, I come here every day to sell lunches.
Angel: My boyfriend works in the security room here at the Prosecutor's Office.
Ema: Y-your boyfriend?
Angel: See the security room over there?
Phoenix: The glass-walled booth?
Angel: I sell my lunches and, since I'm here anyway, I drop in to see him.
Phoenix: (Since yhou're here anyway... I guess selling lunches is more
important than romance.)
Ema: So, to scientifically analyse the data available so far...
Ema: You, Ms Starr, are a lunch vendor with an ulterior motive for coming here!
Phoenix: (Useful analysis. Not.)

Prosecutor's Office
Phoenix: Did you have a bad experience with a prosecutor, Ms. Starr?
Phoenix: I sense some... hostility.
Angel: Hostility? Hah! Perhaps.
Angel: Prosecutors are all alike. And the bigger they get, the worse they
smell.
Angel: Kind of like 10-day old clams in the chowder.
Phoenix: (I wonder if Ms Starr was involved in some sorts of legal trouble in
the past?)
Ema: That'd be a sure cause of food poisoning! Scientifically speaking, of
course.
Ema: I mean, now you're talking "Cough-up Queen"!

Phoenix: No, no, this isn't a credit card. It's an ID card. It belongs to a

King of Prosecutors Trophy added to the Court Record

Couch
Ema: Mr. Edgeworth has such a comfy sofa!
Phoenix: Sofas like this make me want to curl up and take a nap.
Ema: I bet he pours over his case files here until the wee hours of the
morning...
Ema: Then he takes  off his jacket, rolls up his sleeves...
Ema: And goes to sleep using his arms as a pillow!
Phoenix: (I don't believe it. She's actually daydreaming about Edgeworth
working...)
Ema: I bet in the morning he has sofa hair, and little creases in his cheek
from the seams!
Ema: He's so cool!
Phoenix: Sofa-hair is cool!?

Items on the Window Bench
Ema: My, my my! What an amazing bouquet! Just right for Mr.Edgeworth!
Phoenix: No kidding. Hey, there's a card on it...
Phoenix: "Back from the Dead -- Wendy"
Phoenix: ("Wendy"? I've heard that name somewhere before.)
Ema: And beside it... A giant Steel Samurai!
Ema: Wow, I want one!
Phoenix: Huh? There's Something written on the  bottom of his foot.
Phoenix: "Between a rock and a hard place -- Wendy"
Ema: Wendy? Is she Mr Edgeworth's fiancee?
*Image of Wendy Oldbag flashes before Phoenix's eyes*
Phoenix: Um... I don't think so.

Window
Ema: Whoa!
Ema: What a view! It must be nice to have an office on the 12th floor.
Phoenix: I guess you would feel... important.
Ema: Incidentally....
Ema: Were you to jump out this window, the time until impact with the ground
would be...
Ema: ...
Ema: Got it! Approximately 3.23 seconds!
Phoenix: (That's handy to know...)

Desk
Phoenix: A work desk. It's quite tidy, as one might expect.
Ema: What a nice desk! Easy to use, and easy on the eyes!
Ema: It's polished so well I can see my own reflection.
*image of Dick Gumshoe flashes before Phoenix's eyes*
Phoenix: (Strange... Why did I just picture Detective Gumshoe?)
Ema: Maybe I'll take that name plagque as a souvenir.
Phoenix: Don't. He'll sue you..

Teapot
Ema: Oooh! Cute! What a pretty tea set!
Phoenix: I go more for the instant tea bags myself.
Ema: Amazing! The drawer below is filled with packets of tea leaves!
Ema: They're all sorted by place of origin and flavour!
Ema: Look at this Royal blend! What a exquisitely splendid concoction!
Phoenix: (There's such a thing as taking a hobby too far...)

Bookcase
Ema: Whoa! These are all case files!?
Ema: They're stacked up to the ceiling! There's even a ladder...
Phoenix: Odd...
Phoenix: I thought Edgeworth wasn't good with heights.
Ema: He must have someone get them for him.
*image of Dick Gumshoe flashes before Phoenix's eyes*
Phoenix: (Strange... why did I just picture Detective Gumshoe?)
Ema: He must study these case reports so closely... He's so cool!
Phoenix: You wouldn't say that if you saw him sweating bullets up on that
ladder.

Chess Set
Ema: Hey, a chessboard!
Phoenix: I'm not too up on my chess but it looks like Blue's in a bit of a
tight spot.
Ema: The Red Knights have surrounded the Blue Pawn...
Phoenix: Huh?
Ema: Those horses are mounted knights. Their swords have really sharp "edges!"
Ema: And check out that poor pawn, his head is  kind of spiky... Kind of
reminds me of you.
Ema: Mr Edgeworth must be an avid chess player! What's wrong, Mr Wright?
Phoenix: (Edges... surrounding a pwn with spiky hair... Nah... It's nothing.)

TALK

The Case
Phoenix: So, the body was found in your car?
Edgeworth: Go ahead, say it, Wright.
Edgeworth: You think I did it, don't you.
Edgeworth: After you went through all that trouble to help me last year, no
less.
Ema: N-no, we don't think you did it!
Ema: I mean, it was my ssiter who stabbed him....
Ema: Uh, wait, no, she didn't do that! I mean...
Edgeworth: So you're the Chief Prosecutor's little sister, then?
Ema: Y-yes, sir! Ema Skye! It, uh...
Ema: It's nice to meet you again!
Phoenix: (Now that didn't sound forced at all...)
Edgeworth: Ah, now I remember. You've ... really grown.
Edgeworth: I'll admit, it was a surprise to me, too.
Edgeworth: To think that my own car would become the scene of a murder.
Edgeworth: More surprising still...
Edgeworth: Now I'm forced to prove my superior's guilt.
Phoenix: I can understand... W-wait... What did you say!?
Edgeworth: Lana Skye is the Chief Prosecutor... the top prosecutor in the
district.
Edgeworth: She can't prosecute herself, so I'll be the prosecutor at the trial
tomorrow.
Ema: You!? Mr Edgeworth...

Edgeworth
Edgeworth: To be honest...
Edgeworth: It's a bit of a miracle I'm still here at all.
Phoenix: What do you mean?
Edgeworth: Rumours.
Edgeworth: You've heard tghe remours about me, haven't you?
Phoenix: (Miles Edgeworth...)
Phoenix: (It's hard to remember a time when there WEREN'T rumours about this
guy...)
Phoenix: (Forging evidence, arranging false testimony, illegal searches, you
name it...)
Edgeworth: Thanks to you, my innocence was established in the trial at the end
of last year.
Edgeworth: However, there are some who say I'm the one responsible for the
current incident.
Phoenix: Wh-what? That's crazy!
Edgeworth: Hmph.
Edgeworth: Some people need very little excuse to think ill of others.
Edgeworth: It's a fact of life. Impossible to stop.
Ema: But...
Edgeworth: Some of them even go so far as to present me with toys like this...
Edgeworth: They think it's funny.
Phoenix: (Toys? That bronze shield? There's got to be a story behind that
one...)

Lana Skye
Edgeworth: Chief prosecutor Skye? Yes... we first worked together on a case two
years ago.
Edgeworth: It was my first big case.
Ema: That's right, I remember.
Phoenix: (Two years ago... I wasn't even a lawyer yet.)
Edgeworth: Since then, I always felt that she was looking out for me...
Edgeworth: It appears I was mistaken.
Ema: M-mistaken!? Why?
Ema: I mean, I know she's not the warmest person...</pre><pre id="faqspan-25">
Ema: But I'm sure she felt some responsibilities for you!
Edgeworth: Then... Why?
Edgeworth: Why did she stab someone in the trunk of my car?
Edgeworth: Not only that... She stabbed him with my knife.
Ema: Wha...Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!? Mr Edgeworth! Your knife was the murder weapon!?
Edgeworth: To be specific, it was the knife kept in toolbox in the trunk of my
car.
Edgeworth's Knife added to the Court Record.
Phoenix: Um.. Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: What?
Phoenix: Are you sure you didn't do it?
Edgeworth:...
Phoenix: (C'mon, can't he take a joke?)
Ema: You have a strange sense of humour, Mr Wright!

PRESENT

Attorney's Badge
Edgeworth: I once dreamed of being a defense attorney, a long time ago.
Ema: What? You wanted to be a defense attorney, Mr Edgeworth?
Edgeworth: Yet, my path is laid out clearly before me...
Edgeworth: I have no time to reflect on what might have been.

Goodman's ID
Phoenix: Say, Edgeworth, I was wondering about this...
Ema: M-Mr Wright!
Phoenix: Huh? What?
Ema: Are you sure you should be showing that to Mr Edgeworth?
Phoenix: Oh. (He'll take it for sure, won't he.)
Ema: *Sigh*
Ema: I wish I could be on the same side as Mr Edgeworth...
Ema: But then my sister would be found guilty!
Phoenix: (If she sighs any deeper I'm going to stgart getting depressed...)

Prosecutor's Trophy
Phoenix: So, in other words, you were the best of the best this year, huh?
Edgeworth: You can take that foolish grin elsewhere, Wright.
Edgeworth: I lost a day orf work to receive that travesty.
Ema: Huh? Why's that?
Edgeworth: I had to go the Police Department ceremony to receive that broken
shield.
Phoenix: The Police Department?
Edgeworth: Yes. Right next to the Police Station downtown. You've been there,
correct?
Phoenix: Where Detective Gumshoe works? Yeah.
Ema: Um, I was wondering something aboujt your shield... Why is it broken?
Edgeworth: What does it matter? I've got more important things to worry about.
Ema: Oh. Right.....
Phoenix: (He doesn't seem too concerned about his award, for better or for
worse.)
Edgeworth: Yesterday was a very busy day for the Prosecutor's Office.
Ema: Maybe... we should ask him more about yesterday?

Edgeworth's Knife
Edgeworth: It's against my policy to discuss evidence with the defence.
Edgeworth: especially with you.
Ema: He doesn't like you much, does he, Mr Wright?
Phoenix: (Nah. With Edgeworth it's never personal... It's all about winning
tomorrow)

TALK

The Day of the Crime (is now available)
Phoenix: Could you tell me more about yesterday... the day of the murder?
Edgeworth: Yesterday was the annual cleaning day at the Prosecutor's Office.
Ema: Cleaning day?
Edgeworth: Working with the Police Department, we sort and file all evidence
for solved cases.
Edgeworth: We call it "evidence transferal".
Ema: Wiping your hands of old cases, in other words.
Edgeworth: Oh, and another thing... A ceremony was held at the Police
Department.
Edgeworth: There's an annual review and awards for outstanding police officers
and prosecutors.,
Phoenix: and that's when  you got the shield?
Edgeworth: I was at the police department yesterday afternoon... I got back
here at 5:12.
Phoenix: That's ... very precise.
Ema: People like myself and Mr Edgeworth pride ourselves on our precision, Mr
Wright.
Edgeworth: No, I place little faith in my memory.
Edgeworth: The only thing I trust is solid evidence.
Edgeworth's Parking Stub added to the Court Record.
Edgeworth: This is the parking stub from the underground lot.
Phoenix: (The murder took place aroujnd 5.15...)
Ema: So the murder happened right after you got back.
Edgeworth: What, Wright?
Edgeworth: I'd appreciate it if you'd direct that suspicious glare elsewhere.
???: Um...!
*An enthusiastic, keen and um, rather unrealible, officer, holding a megaphone
appears*
???: Excuse me! But is Mr Edgeworth, uh... anywhere on the premises?
Edgeworth: I'm Edgeworth. What is it?
Officer: I'm here, sir, at the request of the Chief, sir! I've got your report,
sir!
Edgeworth: Report?
Edgeworth: What? Did you find new evidence in the case against Chief Prosecutor
kye!?
Phoenix: (I don't like the way this conversation is going at all...)
Officer: Er....... Skye, sir? No, sir!
Officer: No name of that kind, sir! Not in this report, sir!
Edgeworth: ...!
Phoenix: (U I think I just heard Edgeworth's lid blow.)
Ema: Mr Edgeworth's lid isn't on very tight, is it?
Edgeworth: I made a clear request to the Police Department, did I not?
Edgeworth: I need to focus on the trial tomorrow, so don't bring me anything
unrelated!
Officer: Sir! But, but sir!
Officer: I'm just following orders, sir! They told me to bring this to you!
Officer: (He said something that flashed pass and I (Shelley) did not catch on
time)
Edgeworth: Give me your name!
Meekins: U-uh, yes... yes, Sir! M-M-Meekins, sir. Officer Meekins!
Edgeworth: Right. Officer Meekins? Take your report and leave.
Edgeworth: And good luck with that raise next month.
Meekins: *whimpers* B-but, sir, I d-didn't know!
Phoenix: (Poor guy. Looks like he was absent on the day they gave out brtains
and good luck.)
Edgeworth: Wright.
Phoenix: Y-yes, sir!? (Gah! Her caught me off guard!)
Edgeworth: As you can see, I'm busy.
Edgeworth: You may leave now.
Ema: L-let's do what he says, Mr Wright!
Edgeworth: The victim was a detective from the same department as that
patrolman jut now.
Edgeworth: Go down to the Police Department. You can ask more there.
Phoenix; U-uh.. Thanks. (He seems to have finally calmed down at least.)

PRESENT

Edgeworth: I'm busy preparing for tomorrow.
Edgeworth: And I'm not in the mood for idle banter.

Entrance

Ema: Whew.... We're finally here.
Ema: Why would they put the detectives so far away from the Prosecutor's
Office?
Phoenix: That took almost 30 minutes by taxi... and traffic wasn't even that
bad.
Phoenix: This is my first time to the Police Department, actually. ?
Phoenix: Hold on, what's that?
*A dancing blue cardboard cutout of... er, SOMETHING, is found in the doorway
of Police Department.*
Ema: Disturbing! Why does it undulate like that?
Phoenix: Oh, wait I know. This is the "Blue Badger."
Phoenix: They're trying to make him the police mascot.
Ema: Wow, Mr Wright! You know a lot about the Police Department!
Ema: Still, he does seem familiar, somehow...
Phoenix: Forgert the Blue Badger! Who's that next to him!?
Ema: Someone appears to be... dancing with the Blue Badger...
Ema: Uh oh. He noticed me.
Phoenix: He sure is running over here fast...
*Dick Gumshoe appears*
Gumshoe: H-h-h-hey, pal! W-w-w-what're you doin' here!?
Phoenix: That's my line, Detective Gumshoe.
Phoenix: Specifically, why were you dancing over there?
Gumshoe: What!? Um, well...
Phoenix: (Well, at least he doesn't seem to be busy. This is our chance to get
information!)
Gumshoe: Hey! I'll have you know I'm a very busy man, pal.

*Chose from the following:

EXAMINE

Banner
Ema: The banner here is announcing the "Crime Fighting Campaign."
Phoenix: Nice slogan...
Ema: I wonder if they'll be selling fingerprinting sets.
Phoenix: I don't think it's that kind of campaign.
Ema: What family wouldn't want a set at home?
Ema: It's good for finding out who snuck into the cookie jar.
Phoenix: I think most families can figure that out without the extra help.

Police Station Sign
Ema: I always get excited when I come to the police station.
Phoenix: why is that?
Ema: It just feels like I've jumped into a movie
Phoenix: Huh?
Ema: You know, with all the police and criminals.
Phoenix: W-well, I don't know if this is all that exciting.
Ema: Sure it is! Look at those two officers over there.
Ema: They're probably talking about the latest bust!
Phoenix: ...
Phoenix: Funny, I thought they were talking about the weather.

Looking into the Police Station
Phoenix: The detectives in there look pretty busy.
Ema: Just imagine! Right now...
Ema:Behind those doors... A police drama in action!
Phoenix: ...
Phoenix: (Somehow the thought fails to excite me...)

Notice Boards
Phoenix: The usual wanted posters are hanging up on the bulletin board here.
Phoenix: <<Do you know this face!? if you do, dial 911!>>
Ema: You know, Mr Wright, I've always thought it was kind of funny...
Ema: I've never seen anyone who looked like the people in these posters.
Ema: They hardly even look human!
Phoenix:...
Phoenix: (She has a point...)

Blue Badger
Ema: Uh, I was wondering about that...
Gumshoe: What? The Dancing Blue Badger? It's my masterpiece!
Phoenix: You made this, Detective Gumshoe?
Gumshoe: The chief threw together some designs and I just did my thing, pal.
Ema: N-nice work...
Gumshoe: It's battery-powered, so it can go anywhere!
Gumshoe: There's no switch, so it just dance dance dances until the batteries
die!
Ema: Poor Blue Badger... fated to dance until he drops.
Blue Badger added to the Court Record.

Two Policemen Standing on Front of the Station
Phoenix: Look, that patrolman is saluting the other guy. He must be a
detective.
Police: And then I said "hey, you do that, your soup will get cold, buddy."
Patrolman: Th-that's hilarious, sir! I laughed so hard I cried!
Ema: ...
Ema: I guess he wasn't saluting, he was wiping tears from his eyes.
Phoenix: They make a good pair.

Police Car
Ema: Mr Wright! Do you know why patrol cars are painted black and white?
Phoenix: No idea. Why?
Ema; Well, I think they're designed after a panda!
Phoenix: A panda...?
Ema: Not that I have scientific proof. It's just a theory.
Phoenix: Um... do you mind me asking how you came up with that theory?
Ema: It was when I was on a school trip! I saw a patrol car and it came to me!
Ema: We had just been at the zoo, see...
Phoenix: ...
Phoenix: What about zebras? Or did they not have those at your zoo?

TALK

The Case
Gumshoe: I'll give you one word of advice, pal.
Gumshoe: You'd better not agree to defend the suspect in this case.
Ema: Wh... Why not?
Gumshoe: Huh?
Gumshoe: Well... It's just that the Chief Prosecutor has confessed to the
crime.
Gumshoe: She says she summoned the dtective to the Prosecutor's Office and...
She killed him.
Ema: But, what if she's not telling the truth!?
Gumshoe: Yes, well... no! C'mon, pal! There's plenty of evidence against her!
Ema: B-but what if the evidence was faked?
Gumshoe: Hey, pal. Can I speak to you for a second?
Phoenix: Huh? Me?
Gumshoe: Why is this little girl so peeved at me?
Phoenix: She's a relative of the suspect. Lana Skye's sister.
Gumshoe: Whoa!! The Chief Prosecutor's little sister!?
Ema: Just, please investigate this case carefully, okay? Scientifically!
Gumshoe: Yessir! Oh, by the way.
Gumshoe: You might want to keep your voices down.
Gumshoe: YOu don't want to be overheard using words like "faked"...
Ema: Huh?
Gumshoe: It's just... It's a sensitive issue with us these days.

The Investigation
Ema: So... what are you doing here, Detective Gumshoe?
Gumshoe: Me? Oh, well, nothing, really.
Gumshoe: They kicked me out of Criminal Affairs...
Phoenix: Detective Gumshoe! What did you do this time?
Gumshoe: Whaddya you, "this time"!?
Ema: Then, what happened?
Ema: I know things are busy right now...
Ema: I mean... with my sister's case and all...
Gumshoe: It's true. We've never had a Chief Prosecutor murder anyone before!
Gumshoe: Only the highest-ranked people are being let into Criminal Affairs
now.
Gumshoe: The lowest ranking guy in there is our chief of detectives.
Gumshoe: They're not letting any of us ranking-and-file detectives in at all.
Ema: None of you?
Phoenix: (I know this is an important trial, but isdn't that a little odd?)
Gumshoe: So, anyway, I thought I'd spend the day getting the badger dance down
pat.
Ema: Um... Isn't there anything else you could be doing?
Gumshoe: The Chief of Police himself is directing this investigation, pal.
Gumshoe: And Officer Marshall was assigned to the underground parking lot.
Ema: Officer Marshall...
Phoenix: (Now that i think about it, Ema did seem to know that Marshall guy.)
Gumshoe: A patrolman in charge of a crime scene... It's unheard of, pal!

PRESENT

Attorney's Badge
Phoenix: Detective... here's my attorney's badge.
Gumshoe: You show this to me everytime we meet, pal.
Gumshoe: real men show their police badge. 'Nuff said!
Ema: I wish I had a badge... Even an ID card would be nice...
Phoenix: (Wait...)
Phoenix: (Speaking of ID cards, I found that detective's card, didn't I...?)

Goodman's ID
Phoenix: Um, Detective Gumshoe? What can you tell me about this?
Gumshow: Huh? Hey, pal! This is a detective's ID card!
Gumshoe: YOu can't just keep that! You have to turn it in to the police!
Gumshoe: It's people like you that get me into so much trouble all the time!
Phoenix: (Meaning Detective Gumshoe must drop his card a lot.)
Gumshoe: Hmmm... Let's see... "Bruce Goodman"...
Gumshoe: Goodman... Sounds familiar...
Gumshoe: ... Nah, my mistake.
Ema: But, don't you work together with him in Criminal Affairs?
Gumshoe *suddenly interrupts): Whoa!! Now I remember!
Gumshoe: Bruce Goodman! He's the victim!
Phoenix: (That's what I thought...)
Ema: Can you tell us more, Detective Gumshoe?

Prosecutor's Trophy
Gumshoe: Hey, that's it!
Gumshoe: That's the "King of Prosecutors" award that Mr Edgeworth got
yesterday!
Phoenix: Were you at the awards ceremony, Detective Gumshoe?
Gumshoe: Of course, pal! I got an award for dilligence, myself.
Phoenix: Ah... congratulations.
Ema: I was wondering, why is the award a shield?
Ema: And... Why is it broken?
Gumshoe: Oh, there's a reason.
Gumshoe: Um... I'll tell you what it is later.
Phoenix: (Appearantly, he's forgotten.)
Gumshoe: But, I was proud of Mr Edgeworth for winning that award.
Gumshoe: He's even got naysayers in the Prosecutor's Office.
Phoenix: (Yeah, we've heard about the rumours...)

Edgeworth's Knife
Gumshoe: Found in Mr Edgeworth's car, stabbed with Mr Edgeworth's knife, huh...
Gumshoe: What would drive Chief Proseutor Skye to do such a thing?
Ema: ...
Gumshoe: W-wait, I didn't mean... I mean, sure, of course someone else really
did it!
Gumshoe: Someone who must have, um...
Gumshoe: Someone who must have a grudge against Mr Edgeworth.
Phoenix: (The car and the knife do seem a little too well-organised to be a
coincidence.)
Ema: Poor Mr Edgeworth... What could have happened?
Phoenix: (We have to find out a little more about what's going on with
Edgeworth...)

Blue Badger
Gumshoe: As a detective, I have to keep my mouth shut on that one.
Gumshoe: I know better than to go blabbing on about things I don't know
about...
Phoenix: No, I wouldn't want you to do that either...
Gumshoe: Good.

Letter of Introduction

TALK (New informations added)

Bruce Goodman
Phoenix: So... this ID card belonged to the victim?
Gumshoe: He was a detective, like myself.
Gumshoe: Detective Bruce Goodman.
Ema: Hmm... Don't you think it's strange?
Ema: I mean, why would the victim's ID card be lying on the ground where we
found it?
Gumshoe: Well, Detective Goodman should have been at the Police Department
yesterday.
Gumshoe: There was an evidence transferal for a case he handled two years ago.
Ema: Evidence transferal... Mr Edgeworth mentioned that too.
Ema: But... Detective Goodman was killed at the Prosecutor's Office.
Gumshoe: Well, that's the thing... It's hard to say this, but...
Gumshoe: Word is that Chief Prosecutor Skye called him out there, to the
parking lot.
Phoenix: (And Lana's confessing as much...)

Rumours at Law
Gumshoe: He's in a tough spot, again...
Phoenix: "again"...?
*Scene of the Goud Lake murder flashes back to Phoenix's mind*
Gumshoe: Well, it all started with the murder of that defense attorney,
Hammond.
Ema: But Edgeworth was found innocent!
Gumshoe: Listen, pal, there have always been rumours about Edgeworth.
Gumshoe: Forging evidence, making deals with witnesses...
Gumshoe: Nothing outright, but there were always whispered rumours.
Gumshoe: Ever since he was accused of murder, no one's whispering. They are
practically shouting.
Ema: But... but there's no evidence against him!
Gumshoe: Well, Mr Edgeworth has always had unusually strong ties to the
department higher-ups.
Gumshoe: It's only natural that people would be suspicious.
Phoenix: (I had no idea he was under the gun...)
Gumshoe: Anyway, this latest case has started a new rumour.
Gumshoe: People say the only reason he took this case...
Gumshoe: Is because he's aiming for the Chief Prosecutor position himself!
Phoenix: W-what!?
Gumshoe: But I know the truth, pal!
Gumshoe: Nobody wants to be the one who has to prosecute the chief prosecutor!
Gumshoe: Mr Edgeworth is  biting the bullet on this one! He's doing this for
all of us!
Gumshoe: ...
Gumshoe: And that's all I know about that.
Gumshoe: I'm not officially on this case, you know.
Ema: Thank you!
Phoenix: Why aren't you handling the case, Detective Gumshoe?
Phoenix: We met the guy who is... what was his name? The guy in the parking
lot...
Gumshoe: That'd be Officer Marshall.
Gumshoe: He was appointed directily by the Chief of Police...
Phoenix: Officer Marshall... Is he some kind of Wild West sheriff or something?
Gumshoe: No, Jake Marshall's just a regular officer...
Gumshoe: From West LA.
Phoenix: For a moment there, I wasn't sure.
Gumshoe: Look, pal, let me try to make things a little easier for you.
Gumshoe: Show them this and they'll let you examine the crime scene... maybe.
Letter of Introduction from Detective Gumshoe added to the Court Record.
Phoenix: (I'll be surprised if this gets us anywhere...)
Gumshoe: Just act like you're suppose to be there, and no bdy will look at you
twice, pal!

???: Sorry... Looks like I'll be stuck in this pit 'til the sun sleeps.
???: I'll see you in my dreams tonight, then, baby.
Angel: Oh! Still here?
Ema: Ah, h-hello!
Angel: Why the surprised looks? Didn't I mention...?
Angel: I've got a boyfriend in Criminal Affairs, too.
Phoenix: (What happened to the security guard?!)
Marshall: Hey! What's wrong, bambina?
Marshall: YOu're lookin' like a dogie that's lost its herd!
Phoenix: (Jake Marshall...)

The Victim

Marshall: And me? I watch over them as they sleep... Dreaming of the desert's
harsh judgement.
Marshall: ...
Ema: He's asleep.
Phoenix: Well... should we show this hopeless case something to catch his
interest?

Marshall: You ready to become food for the vultures, compadre?

Phoenix: (Somehow I don't think he's going to help us.)

Blue Badger
Marshall: Alright compadre! Count to three!
Phoenix: Huh?
Marshall: You gotta do that if you're going to draw evidence on someone.
Marshall: That's what we do in Texas.
Phoenix: Rmeind me never to visit Texas.

Letter of Introduction
Phoenix: Would you mind reading this for me?
Marshall: What's this? I warn you, fan letters to me go right into the
spittoon!
Phoenix: It's a latter of introduction from detective Gumshoe. May be
investigate?
Marshall: Gumshoe...? Ah, that old cowdog?
Marshall: Hmm... He holding a birthday party or something?
Phoenix: Huh?
Marshall: Look, where it should say letter of "introduction"... It says
"invitation."
Phoenix: Ah... I think he just miswrote it.
Phoenix: (Great, Detective Gumshoe. I owe you one...)
Marshall: No worries. This proves it's from Detective Gumshoe, better than a
blood test.
Marshall: Guess I'd better let you in, then.
Ema: Th-thank you, Officer Marshall!
Phoenix: (Officer Marshall isn't a "detective"... He's a "patrolman"...)
Phoenix: (That reminds me of something...)
Ema: That is odd!
Ema: Isn't a crime scene suppose to be handled by a detecive or higher?
Marshall: Well, folks.
Marshall: The clues are calling! Welcome to our gold strike.
Marshall: Be like the settler! Strike out for lands unknown!
Marshall: Manifest Destiny! Let's have a hootenanny!
Ema: Note to self: police investigations are like settling land.
Ema: Well, Mr Wright, what do you say!?
Phoenix: (I say I won't be needing this anymore)
Detective Gumshoe's Letter of Introduction crumpled and discarded.

PRESENT

Attorney's Badge
Marshall: I see your badge. Looks pretty... round.
Marshall: Our badge is a star, a lone star, shining in the nightime sky.
Marshall: A beam of light, illuminating evildoers who come in the dark of
night!
Ema: Note to self: Evildoers are weak against starlight.
Phoenix: (Hey, that's a sheriff's badge!)

Goodman's ID
Marshall: What's that? Some sort of police passport?
Phoenix: This is Detective Goodman's ID card. Strangely Enough...
Phoenix: We found it a good distance away from the crime scene.
Marshall: Good distance, in this rat hole? if you want distance, get yourself
to Texas!
Ema: Texas...
Marshall: This is a tiny little crime scene, in a tiny little town, with tiny
little evidence.
Marshall: What difference does a few yards make, compadre?
Ema: Note to self: if you encounter suspicious evidence, think of Texas.
Ema: There's no better way to study than to hang out with the pros!

Prosecutor's Trophy
Marshall: Ah, a toy shield! Suits the boy well.
Marshall: What exactly could you shield with that? A toy knight, maybe?
Ema: Officer Marshall, don't you have anything good to say about Mr Edgeworth?
Phoenix: You don't like him, right? We get the point.
Marshall: You know, when I was a detective, I got one of those...
Ema: Hmmm... Let me guess... Did it have a "K" for "King of Detectives" on it?
Phoenix: Hey, they could use the same shielf over and over.
Ema: Note to self: the Prosecutor Office and Criminal Affairs are surprisingly
cheap.
Marshall: You know it! They've gotten cheaper with every passing year, I tell
you.

Edgeworth's Kinfe
Marshall: Alright compadre! Count to three!
Phoenix: Huh?
Marshall: You gotta do that if you're going to draw evidence on someone.
Marshall: That's what we do in Texas.
Phoenix: Rmeind me never to visit Texas.

Parking Stub
Marshall: 5:12 PM...
Marshall: The prosecutor's bright red steed came in at a trot, real show like.
Ema: A... trot?
Marshall: My Madonna tells me the crime occerred three minutes later...
Marshall: So it seems the Chief Prospector was lying in wait!
Marshall: Maybe... waiting for her prince to ride in on his bright red horse...
Phoenix: (So what you mean is...)
Phoenix: (The killer intended to use Edgeworth's car all along!)

Blue Badger
Marshall: Alright compadre! Count to three!
Phoenix: Huh?
Marshall: You gotta do that if you're going to draw evidence on someone.
Marshall: That's what we do in Texas.
Phoenix: Rmeind me never to visit Texas.

TALK

The Victim
Phoenix: Officer Marshall? Could you tell us more about the victim?
Marshall: ...
Marshall: Good men always die young. Remember that, pardner.
Phoenix: Um... could you be a little more specific?
Ema: Bruce Goodman... He was a detective, right?
Marshall: Well, well, aren't you a feisty dogie there now.
Marshall: Detective Goodman was stabbed here at 5:15.
Marshall: The smiling Madonna told me the tale...
Phoenix: (I think he means the witness, Ms. Angel Starr.)
Marshall: One stab to the chest. A fine piece of work.
Marshall: This here's the autopsy report.
Autopsy Report added to the Court Record.
Ema: Was my sister involved with the victim in any way?
Marshall: Funny you should mention that, Bambina.
Marshall: Chief Prosepector Skye and Detective Goodman... had nothing in common
t all.
Ema: Nothing in common...?
Marshall: They appearently worked together on a case a few years back.
Phoenix: (So... There's not motive!)
Marshall: Goodman wasn't a particularly gifted detective.
Marshall: That's one reason why he didn't do much work with the Chief
Prospector...
Ema: But, my sister called the victim here on the day of the murder, right?
Ema: Here... to this parking lot?
Marshall: So it seems. Like callinhg an unarmed man to a shootout at high noon.

Marshall
Phoenix: Um, I don't mean any offense, but...
Phoenix: Officer Marshall, you're a patrolman, right? Not a detective.
Marshall: You calling' me out? They shoot you for that in Texas.
Phoenix: Huh?
Marshall: I was one of them fancy-shoed "Detectives" till two years ago, to
tell ya the truth.
Phoenix: Oh, really? (Now he tells me!)
Ema: But you're a patrolman now. So how can you be in charge of a crime scene?
Marshall: Nothing gets by you, does it, bambina?
Phoenix: So, why are you in charge?
Marshall: No reason. We're just short on hands right now. I'm keeping an eye
out in the meantime.
Ema: That's odd, though.
Ema: Detective Gumshoe was saying he had nothing to do... nothing important, at
least.
Marshall: He's nothing but a sad ol' cowdog, that can't find his tail.
Marshall: Maybe it's because he runs with that Edgeworth, eh?
Phoenix: Edgeworth...?
Marshall: That cowdog's been kicked out of this cattle run... by order of the
Chief of Police.
Marshall: Just, he don't realize it yet.
Phoenix: (Detective Gumshoe, kicked out of the investigation?!)

EXAMINE (The other side of the crime scene)

Letter on the Wall
Ema: "A Block"... This area is reserved for the prosecutors.
Phoenix: Defense attorneys are relegated to "B Block."
Ema: I dream of the day when I will be able to park my car here!
Ema: I'll go over to B Block to buy my hamburgers from you, Mr Wright.
Phoenix: I'm not planning on giving up my job that soon...

Cellphone on the Floor
Phoenix: This looks like a cell phone.
Ema: Scientifically analysis would suggest this belonged to the victim!
Ema: In can't think of anyone else it could belong to...
Phoenix: (What's so scientific about that!?) Should we check it out?
Select your answer: Check it out, Forget it.
Check it out:
Phoenix: (Right! Let's check it out.)
Phoenix pressed the side blue button on the phone.
Ema: Hmm. The display is still on the redial button.
Phoenix: Redial...?
Ema: Um,Mr Wright?
Ema: Most phones keep a record of all the calls you've made and received.
Ema: You jujst press the blue button to dial the last number you called.
Ema: Convenient, isn't it? I'm surprised you didn't know about it.
Phoenix: Sorry to disppoint you, but even I know about things like "redial".
Ema: Huh? Oh, I'm sorry!
Ema: It's just, you never know with people from your generation.
Phoenix: (Whatever... Let's check this phone out.)
Phoenix checked the phone strap
Ema: Man, what a boring strap!
Phoenix: What's wrong with it? Everyone has different tastes, you know.
Ema: Here, check out mine. It's a Pink Princess Strap!
Ema: These are hard to come by, you know.
Phoenix: (I see he's as popular as ever with the kids...)
Phoenix pressed the redial button.
Phoenix: (Now, I wonder who the owner of this phone called last...)
Ema: Note to self: A defense attorney doesn't think first, he just pushes the
button.
Cellular: *beep*
Cellular: ... *A familiar theme plays*
Phoenix: Hey! That song! I know that!
Marshall: Hey! What's going on over there?
Cellular: *beep*
Phoenix: Ah! Oh, s-sorry!
Marshall: I see you, pardner!
Marshall: You pressed redial on that there phone, didn't you?
Phoenix: Uh, well, yeah...
Ema: Whose phone is this, anyway? It ws on the ground over there...
Marshall: Whose is it? That belongs to the Chief Prospector, Skye.
Ema: What? It's my sister's!?
Marshall: She apparently dropped it when she was taken into custody, right
aftger the crime.
Marshall: Look... the last call was made right when the murder occurred!
Marshall: Looks like she was fixing to call someone.
Marshall: Except she only spoke for a few seconds, according to this.
Phoenix: Who did she call!?
Marshall: No idea. Sorry, pardner.
Marshall: Now, I got a question for you, pardner.
Marshall: I heard a phone ring just now... one of those new-fangled ring-tunes.
Phoenix: Oh? That? Oh.,.. I'm sorry, that was my phone.
Marshall: W-w-what? Your phone?
Phoenix: Yeah, uh, it's kind of strange, but...
Phoenix: Someone called me right as we picked up the other phone, a wrong
number...
Marshall: ...
Marshall: I hope you're not lying... They shoot you for that in Texas, pardner!
Phoenix: Uh oh, I've incited the wrath of the Lone Star patrolman...)
Cell Phone added to the Court Record.
Forget it:
On the second thought, let's not.
Ema: What!? Why not? I mean, don't you want to know whose it is?
Phoenix: Probably one of the Detectives dropped it.
Ema: Come on! No detective would be that dumb!
*Image of Dick Gumshoe flashed on front of Phoenix*
Phoenix: (I don't know. One detective in particular comes to mind.)

Fence
Phoenix: "B Block" is through there. That's where visitors park.
Ema: I can see the Lunchland car over there... far in the distance.
Phoenix: Hey, you're right. I like the cute design on the door.
Phoenix: (I can see... a cartoon cow munching down on a juicy looking steak.)
Ema: ...
Ema: Doesn't that strike you as a little... creepy?)
Phoenix: Just odn't think too deeply about it and you'll be fine.

Car
Phoenix: This appears to be ther car where the body was found.
Phoenix: (It looks like the lock on the trunk is busted)
*flashback*
Lana: The crime took place in the underground parking lot at the Prosecutor's
Office.
Lana: The body was found in the trunk of my subordinate's car.
*end of flashback*
Ema: Quite a luxury car. It just screams "I have money to burn."
Phoenix: Yeah. Prosecutors get the big bucks.

Rope Around the Body
Ema: This rope... is it...?
Phoenix: Yup. They laid it in the outline of the victim's body.
Ema: ...
Ema: So wait... The victim must have died when the killer closed the trunk on
him!
Phoenix: ...
Phoenix: (You have got to be the only person I know that would come to that
conclusion.)

Lid of the Car Trunk
Phoenix: What's this? Looks like a note of some sort.
Ema: Look!Something's written on it!
*A note with "6-75, 12/2" written on a piece of paper with "Goodman" printed on
top right hand corner is shown*
Phoenix: You're right. Let's see... "6-7S, 12/2"...
Ema: There's a name printed on the paper above that... "Goodman."
Phoenix: (Maybe it fell out of his pocket when he was killed.)
Ema: Well? So? What does it mean, Mr Wright?
Phoenix: How am I supposed to know?
Ema: Note to self: For deductive reasoning, go to Edgeworth, not Wright.
Phoenix: (I'm sure Edgeworth wouldn't know what this means either.)
Goodman's Note added to the Court Record.

TALK (new options are available

Lana Skye
Ema: So, there's no connection between Detective Goodman and my sister!
Marshall: THat's correct, but...
Marshall: There's a goldmine of evidence against her...
Phoenix: ...!
Marshall: And the prospector tomorrow is none other than Edgeworth himself...
Marshall: I'm afraid your sister's fate is decided, bambina. Many condolences.
Ema: Officer Marshall!
Marshall: Yeah, bambina?
Ema: H-how can you say that!
Ema: You and my sister, you were...
Phoenix: (Is there something  between this cop and her sister that I don't know
about?)
Marshall: ...!
Marshall: I apologize, bambina. Something must have gotten to me.
Marshall: Maybe it's that dry wind that's a-blowin' through the Prospector's
Office.
Phoenix: (Dry wind or ill will, someone's up to something here... but who?)

Office atmosphere
Marshall: Suspicious about Mr Edgeworth have been flying around for nearly two
years now.
Phoenix: Forged evidence... arranging testimonies, you name it.
Marshall: He was unbeatable because he did whatever it took to win.
Marshall: Unbeatable that is, until he met you.
Ema: But rumours are just... rumours, aren't they?
Ema: These are prosecutors we're talking about! Evidence is everything to them!
Marshall: If you follow the rumours about Edgeworth to their source, you find
one person...
Marshall: But... they're off limits. Untouchable, you might say.
Phoenix: One person? Who?
Marshall: Bambina... It's your sister. Chief Prosecutor Lana Skye.
Ema: What!? My sister...?
Marshall: Edgeworth couldn't rustle all those cattle by himself.
Marshall: Some people load their guns with bullets, some people load them with
"deals".
Phoenix: What, you're saying Edgeworth was making deals to win trials?
Marshall: "Where there's gunshots, there's bound to be bullets."
Marshall: That's what the old-timers say.
Marshall: There's a big ol' secret hidden around here somewhere. Everyone knows
it.
Phoenix: (Is that why Detective Gumshoe was taken off the case....?)
Phoenix: (Did they target him because he was closest to Edgeworth?)

PRESENT (new informations are added)

Goodman's Autopsy Report
Marshall: Alright compadre! Count to three!
Phoenix: Huh?
Marshall: You gotta do that if you're going to draw evidence on someone.
Marshall: That's what we do in Texas.
Phoenix: Rmeind me never to visit Texas.

Cellphone
Ema: My sister's Cell phone.
Marshall: The last time it was used was 5:18... Right after Goodman was killed.
Marshall: Maybe she was cancelling her date for the night?
Ema:...
Phoenix: (Why did Lana make that call...?)
***
Ema: So, well, how are we doing, Mr Wright?
Phoenix: I guess we'bve got some clues...
Phoenix: We have an autopsy report, a note from the victim, and a cell phone...
Ema: So... you think we'll be okay?
Phoenix: Well, the only thing still bothering me is that Lana is confessing to
the crime.
Phoenix: She says she did it!
Ema: No problem!
Ema: I can guarantee that she's not the criminal.
Phoenix: Oh by the way, Ema?
Ema: Yes?
Phoenix: I know that song your phone plays when it rings...
Ema: What...?
Cellular: ...
Cellular: *beep*
Phoenix: It's the Steel Samurai theme song, isn't it?
Phoenix: That popular TV show... for kids?
Ema: ...!
Phoenix: The phone that just rang wasn't mind...
Phoenix: It was... Yours.
Phoenix: At 5:18, just after the murder took place...
Phoenix: Your sister called you, didn't she, Ema?
Ema: I... I'm sorry!
Phoenix: Can you tell me what you talked about?
Ema: I... She hang up right away.
Phoenix: I see....
Cell Phone added to the Court Record.
Phoenix: (A detective is murdered, and the suspect is the top prosecutor in the
district.)
Phoenix: (I've got a bad feeling about this...)
Phoenix: (Like... mabye I still don't know everything that went on here...)
